[02:57] <jackson3246> nope I know how to do that
[02:57] <Borzen> Does any one ever had a live CD lock up on them
[02:57] <jackson3246> and kyncani: I know how to boot it.
[02:57] <IntuitiveNipple> ok, you mean run the EXEs then??
[02:57] <Mikey> Borzen i did
[02:57] <jackson3246> no I know about wine
[02:57] <mon^rch> can anyone help me do grub-install hd0 ????
[02:58] <jackson3246> I mean like qemuing the partition
[02:58] <Argonis> anybody ever had GRUB freeze with a black screen with just GRUB on it? ;p
[02:58] <Borzen> Mikey did u fix it and what r u specks
[02:58] <bds> Mikey: uname -a
[02:58] <IntuitiveNipple> virtualise?
[02:58] <jackson3246> yeah
[02:58] <jackson3246> there you go.
[02:58] <jackson3246> haha sorry
[02:58] <auTONYmous> jackson3246: I took the easy (and costly) route: vmware workstation
[02:58] <IntuitiveNipple> lol ha! got there in the end!
[02:58] <Pie-rate> how would i start another X on tty6?
[02:58] <draeath> Waht hapenned to RestrictedFormats? All the good information is gone!
[02:58] <IntuitiveNipple> I'm not sure jackson3246 , not about an already installed partition anyhow
[02:58] <Mikey> ah thnkx bds, it seems that whey i ask short qs they get answered quick :)
[02:59] <draeath> seriously, all the stuff for xubuntu etc is gone
[02:59] <jackson3246> IntuitiveNipple: hm... alrighty then. I'll check the qemy documentation first I guess
[02:59] <jackson3246> qemu*
[02:59] <jackson3246> thanks for the help
[02:59] <kanzie> auTONYmous, sigh, that lead me back to the installation-instructions I have been following... since there is no text for edgy unless I go to the ubuntuforums, which lead me where I am now
[02:59] <Borzen> i did but that go me nowhere
[02:59] <auTONYmous> jackson3246: keep in mind that it may not boot in vmware if you already have IDE drivers, etc loaded under Winblows
[02:59] <IntuitiveNipple> too late, he gorn!
[02:59] <mon^rch> can anyone help me do grub-install hd0 ???
[02:59] <IntuitiveNipple> I'm sure he'll discover that ... eventually!
[03:00] <IntuitiveNipple> mon^rch: what do you need?
[03:00] <mon^rch> I need to know how to do it... can I just use the live cd and run grub-install???
[03:00] <auTONYmous> kanzie: hm...try commenting out the UUID's in fstab and use the /dev/node names
[03:01] <Borzen> U have to ckick on install when the OS loads
[03:01] <Mikey> ok, im stuck, how do i know that my ralink driver is loaded?
[03:01] <IntuitiveNipple> mon^rch:  There's some useful details on doing this manually in the FakeRAIDhowto at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto
[03:01] <kyncani> mon^rch: why do you need to do it ?
[03:01] <IntuitiveNipple> Look for the heading "Installing the Bootloader Package"
[03:01] <mon^rch> winxp rewrote my boot menu...
[03:01] <auTONYmous> fakeraid is a thorn in my side right now

[03:02] <auTONYmous> kanzie: like /dev/hda1, etc....the /dev/xxx name for the disk/partition you're trying to mount
[03:02] <draeath> Anyone know if its possible to see previous versions of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[03:02] <fatlip> what's what? if my card has two outputs, how do i specify one over the other? 1:0:0 and 1:0:1?
[03:02] <bds> Mikey: If it is a module then perhaps 'lsmod' will work?
[03:02] <fatlip> i'm lost =/
[03:02] <variant> _3fg: change te video ouput to something other than default like xv or gl
[03:02] <IntuitiveNipple> whats your issue? I've found bugs and other stuff and still not got Edgy to install on it - mostly because of a problem with GRUB
[03:03] <Bou> when i go to boot with ubunto, i get crazy patterns of color instead of actually seeing ubunto, any help?
[03:03] <magic_ninja> what command tells me my nvidia driver settings?
[03:03] <variant> Bou: boot in safe graphics mode
[03:03] <magic_ninja> grrr
[03:03] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: was that to me?
[03:03] <magic_ninja> my nvidia driver version?

[03:03] <IntuitiveNipple> auTONYmous:  yes :)
[03:03] <Bou> I tried safer graphics mode, but it didnt work
[03:03] <kanzie> auTONYmous, but then I need to provide a mount-point manually too right?
[03:03] <kyncani> draeath: you can use the wayback machine. google  wayback
[03:04] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: existing Windows on the fakeraid. All Linux distros want to set up the fakeraid themselves, but won't access a disk set created by Windows
[03:04] <mon^rch> how stable is feisty... anyone using it?
[03:04] <Mikey> bds: its a cardbus, output of lsmod: it says rt2500, used by 0
[03:04] <auTONYmous> kanzie: yes
[03:04] <Mikey> bds: so it is loaded i gather?
[03:04] <IntuitiveNipple> auTONYmous: Yeah, same here. See my articles in the Installation & Upgrades forums
[03:04] <tempy> how do I block a domain?
[03:04] <IntuitiveNipple> I'm almost got it solved, but its taking time
[03:04] <kanzie> oh, so instead of UUID I enter the corresponding /dev-name?
[03:04] <metal03> Hi there, I'm in the process of installing video codecs (and I think I have it all...) but I still need some codec for some .rmvb files!!   And I can't find a way to make that work...  I checked the forums and couldn't find anything that worked!

[03:06] <kanzie> should I download the fuse and manually install it as it suggests?
[03:06] <Bou> When i try and boot ubunto, the graphics don't work, ive dtried safe graphics mode, but it doesn't work

[03:07] <borg> tempy, even when i run flash in an emulated windows enviroment such as VMware-player it still uses far more CPU, why is that, i mean it's still widnows isnt it? just emulated in a pc emulator
[03:07] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: that's why I haven't bothered lately...
[03:07] <compsman> help help i need help on swap
[03:07] <Mikey> bds: RT2500 shows up in device manager with everythig there, but not in network settings
[03:07] <Bou> When i try and boot ubunto, the graphics don't work, ive dtried safe graphics mode, but it doesn't work
[03:08] <IntuitiveNipple> auTONYmous: Yeah... I'm determined.. once GRUB is sorted out it'll work
[03:08] <kitche> compsman: what's do you need want to know about swap?
[03:08] <draeath> kyncani, i'd like to know why the whole page got wiped due to one or two things not working
[03:08] <compsman> i cant get my mounted
[03:08] <jewbile1> What is beryl?
[03:08] <Mikey> Bou: get alternate iso, worked for me
[03:08] <variant> compsman: you dont mount swap
[03:08] <compsman> i forgot to set up swap
[03:08] <Flannel> !beryl | jewbile1
[03:08] <tempy> mainly that's emulated
[03:08] <ubotu> jewbile1: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-xgl
[03:08] <tempy> what is your host os?
[03:08] <compsman> i maded one but how i mount it
[03:08] <IntuitiveNipple> I've done an identical install into a non RAID drive on the same system with same sized partitions so I can just move the entire install across using dd once I have GRUB sorted
[03:08] <mon^rch> beryl is cool
[03:08] <kitche> compsman: ok you can use a swap file if you want
[03:08] <jewbile1> would beryl replace nautilus?
[03:09] <metal03> I'm trying to listen to .RMVB files (video) but it's not working...  anyone knows what to do?
[03:09] <variant> compsman: so do mkswap /dev/whatever && swapon /dev/whatever && nano -w /etc/fstab and add a line in there referencing it
[03:09] <kanzie> auTONYmous, since that gave the same error Im truing to manually download the fuse-package and install it as the error suggests
[03:09] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: If my desktop/media server wasn't in such heavy use, I'd actually try that..
[03:09] <variant> compsman: i reccomend you reboot to the live cd and shrink a partition for swap if you don't already have one available, swapfiles are not nearly as good as dedicated swap
[03:09] <borg> tempy my host OS is ubuntu didnt catch your question there for a moment, ya gotta hightlight my name :P
[03:09] <neighborlee> does anyone know why audacity causes weird st atic during playback of recorded audio ?..if I use aoss audacity the problem disappears , but why ? ;l))
[03:10] <kanzie> auTONYmous, *sigh* then it tells me I need to specify where my kernel source is... where is that located on edgy?
[03:10] <bds> Mikey: I believe if lsmod says 0 then the module is not being used
[03:10] <gili> question about remote desktop in edgy: how does a win xp machnie connect...MUST i use vnc or can use the xp native remote desktop
[03:10] <gili> ?
[03:10] <IntuitiveNipple> auTONYmous: yeah, I know what you mean. I have two identical PCs with dual-Athlons and FakeRAID that work fine for Windows
[03:10] <bds> Mikey: What type of device is this again?
[03:10] <Mikey> cardbus wireless adapter, ralink, chipset RT2500
[03:10] <Flannel> jewbile1: no, beryl will replace metacity
[03:10] <auTONYmous> kanzie: you have to install the kernel-source package
[03:10] <draeath> RestrictedFormats on the wiki is now USELESS. Where can I get the old information? archive.org doesn't have anything.
[03:11] <kanzie> auTONYmous, why do I get the feeling Im not on the right track here ;-)
[03:11] <Flannel> draeath: it is a wiki afterall, view one of the older pages
[03:11] <jerp_> Gators baby, yeah!!!!!!
[03:11] <auTONYmous> kanzie: I know it sounds like lots of probs...but I asked the wrong question. I know you're running an AMD64, but are you in 64-bit mode or 32-bit?
[03:11] <gili> question about remote desktop in edgy: how does a win xp machnie connect...MUST i use vnc or can use the xp native remote desktop
[03:11] <draeath> Flannel, how?
[03:11] <_3fg> Now I can get video playing, but it says it's missing the mp3 codec to play the file
[03:11] <Flannel> draeath: looks like they just split it up into multiple pages, all the information is around in the wiki still.
[03:11] <tempy> borg:  sorry, tired, I think that is it slower because it is emulated
[03:12] <Flannel> draeath: top of the page, "page history"
[03:12] <variant> gili: you can use xrdp (x remote desktop) never tried itthough
[03:12] <_3fg> and it's flashing every frame
[03:12] <kanzie> auTONYmous,  hmm... I have done anything specific to end up in either... I inserted the cd and pressed install
[03:12] <tempy> borg:  not that your host is linux based
[03:12] <kanzie> =)
[03:12] <Borzen> Can anyone help me with a Live CD lockup for 64
[03:12] <tempy> gtg
[03:12] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: What I've gotten is that while the Windows drivers are happy to use the BIOS setup fakeraid partitions, Linux prefers to look directly at the disk controllers (and subsequently see the disks separate). Since Windows has created its own setup, Linux ignores it, and the drivers aren't written to recognize it.
[03:12] <variant> gili: it looks quite nice
[03:13] <kanzie> auTONYmous, But it feels like a shame not running 64-bit if that isnt a problem for compatibility of a average desktop-user like me?
[03:13] <compsman> variant, THANK YOU SO MUCH:)
[03:13] <draeath> Flannel, i don't see it.
[03:13] <auTONYmous> kanzie: then you should be in 32-bit mode. The 64-bit thing is moot
[03:13] <bds> Mikey: Is it listed in 'ifconfig' or 'iwconfig'
[03:13] <variant> compsman: what for?
[03:13] <tarnold8595> i am having trouble with a wireless card on Ubuntu; it has worked in the past, and I believe it is still recognized, as it is shown as a device in Networking, but when it is enabled I can't seem to browse wireless networks that should be in range
[03:13] <compsman> swap
[03:13] <draeath> Flannel, i have 'log in to edit' and UserDocumentation
[03:13] <auTONYmous> kanzie: Oh, 64-bit is a HUGE compatibility problem for desktop users right now
[03:13] <variant> compsman: np :)
[03:13] <Flannel> draeath: ah, maybe the history is only visible to people logged in
[03:13] <Flannel> draeath: try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats?action=info
[03:13] <IntuitiveNipple> auTONYmous: not quiet - the RAIDs have metadata stored on them - both the windows drivers and the linux drivers use that to mount the volumes.
[03:13] <compsman> Swap:      4313444          0    4313444   now its there:P
[03:14] <kanzie> auTONYmous, then 32-bit it is =) I have searched synaptic for kernel-source, and the list provides several alternatives... is it the kernel-tree-2.4.27?
[03:14] <gili> variant: thanks...i want to connect from my office to home
[03:14] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: then, our cases are a little different. Mine won't see the metadata or the Windows partitions at all (promise fasttrack 378)
[03:14] <Flannel> !kernel | kanzie
[03:14] <ubotu> kanzie: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[03:14] <variant> gili: yeah, on gnu/linux there is rdesktop client or xrdp server for RDP protocal
[03:14] <genius314> Ok, can someone help me set up my USB. When I plug my wireless LAN card into a different port, it stops working. I want to switch hubs, but it wont let me plug the wireless card into any other ports.
[03:14] <IntuitiveNipple> auTONYmous: I've got my Promise FastTrak's mounted on Linux without any problems at all, with full read-write using ntfs-3g, but GRUB is having problems writing stage 2
[03:14] <gili> office has an xp pro machine...i want to connecto to my ubuntu here at home
[03:15] <IntuitiveNipple> auTONYmous: let me do some googling to understand the differences
[03:15] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: then you are definitely ahead of me.
[03:15] <Mikey> bds: it isnt listed in ifconfig, but it is listed with iwconfig, as sit0 and says no wireless extensions
[03:15] <variant> gili: you might want to try tunneling whatever method of connection you use over ssh, make it a little secure
[03:15] <IntuitiveNipple> auTONYmous: what RAID level is it currently configured with? I'm using RAID 1+0
[03:15] <compsman> gili use putty
[03:15] <auTONYmous> RAID 1
[03:15] <kanzie> auTONYmous, should I just revert all I have done, or proceed with compiling the fuse-thingie... Im not compiling a new kernel am I, just a module for kernel-plugin?
[03:16] <variant> gili: but yeah, you really don't need to use a graphical interface remotely with gnu/linux
[03:16] <variant> gili: ssh
[03:16] <bds> Mikey: brb, phone
[03:16] <auTONYmous> kanzie: yeah, just a new module...but if you are all updated, and using Flomertens debs, it _should_ work fine.
[03:16] <compsman> gili: thats putty that does ssh
[03:16] <auTONYmous> kanzie: the default kernel has fuse built in.
[03:16] <draeath> Flannel, shows me revisions but not the history. Hmm, i enabled JavaScript and it seems to have some subpages (RestrictedFormats/MP3 for instance)
[03:16] <genius314> Why does my wireless card only work in a certain USB port?
[03:16] <draeath> Flannel, still, some of the information is gone
[03:17] <IntuitiveNipple> auTONYmous: According to something I've just read, you *should* be able to use the Linux FastTrak TX4000 drivers
[03:17] <Mikey> bds: i think ive got it to list with ifconfig as well, by using some switch, i cant remember, possibly -v?
[03:17] <gili> right
[03:17] <gili> ok thanks
[03:17] <Flannel> draeath: revisions are the history.  Just grab an older revision of the page, and you'll view it as if that were the current one
[03:17] <kanzie> auTONYmous, so where do I go from here you reckon?
[03:17] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: REALLY? That's worth a try
[03:17] <gili> so you are sayinng that remote desktop in windows will not connect to ubuntu....!!!
[03:17] <Silver_Seagull> AAAAGH >_<
[03:17] <gili> ?
[03:17] <compsman> gili; i never tryed that
[03:17] <IntuitiveNipple> auTONYmous: read this as a starter. I know its oldish, but check for updates etc: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=258564
[03:17] <auTONYmous> kanzie: I'm at a loss. Revert, test that "normal" ntfs read-only mount works, then start over
[03:18] <Flannel> gili: you can, using... um.  rdesktop, I believe.
[03:18] <Silver_Seagull> Can anyone PLEASE shed some light on why a perfectly good install won't install?  I just sits at "Installing System: 0%" for 3 mins then exits.
[03:18] <Flannel> Silver_Seagull: you checked the disk?
[03:18] <kanzie> auTONYmous, it does
[03:18] <kitche> gili: you need to use freenx or xrdp since Windows Remote Desktop uses rdp protocoal and both of them use rdp
[03:19] <Silver_Seagull> Flannel: I have- Knoppix has no issue with installing- I've been down the "dead disk" road- the CD is good too.
[03:19] <genius314> I really need to know why my wireless card only works in a certain USB port.
[03:19] <Mikey> bds: it lists in ifconfig -a, take you time bds, so far your the only one helping, so i havent got the guts to object =)
[03:19] <magic_ninja> if i enable backports should i disable the other repos
[03:19] <draeath> Flannel, thank you!
[03:19] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: so, using THAT driver, combined with installing dmraid to the LiveCD, should get me a dual-boot?
[03:19] <Flannel> Silver_Seagull: You checked the CD, with the on CD check thing?  If you're just trying to install, I suggest the alternate CD anyway.  No reason to go through the liveCD baggage just to install a system.
[03:20] <gili> ok thanks all
[03:20] <IntuitiveNipple> auTONYmous: not sure right now. dmraid supports the devices without anything else needed. Thats what I use, and its supposed to support all FastTrak devices
[03:20] <Mikey> Flannel: you know i wish they would put that on the site when you download
[03:20] <Silver_Seagull> Flannel: ... /cry  moar downloading?
[03:20] <metal03> Anyone knows how to play .rmvb files?
[03:20] <jrib> magic_ninja: what other repos?
[03:21] <IntuitiveNipple> auTONYmous: the dmraid package I use is called: dmraid_0.9.9+1.0.0.rc9-2ubuntu1_i386.deb
[03:21] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: but that's where I've had issues, since the LiveCD with dmraid wanted to create a new fakeraid set and destry the existing partition layout
[03:21] <magic_ninja> you have the normal edgy repos, then backports
[03:21] <IntuitiveNipple> I tried the RC13 version mentioned in Launchpad but that fails to activate the RAID sets
[03:21] <magic_ninja> to use backports should i disable the normal ones?
[03:21] <magic_ninja> evilgold: hello
[03:21] <jrib> magic_ninja: no
[03:21] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: noted. I'll give the RC9 a try and get back to you
[03:21] <magic_ninja> evilgold: didn't know you use ububuntu
[03:22] <IntuitiveNipple> auTONYmous: after installing the dmraid dev package, did you just do dmraid -s and dmraid -r to see what it finds?
[03:22] <evilgold> magic_ninja, yeah since hoary
[03:22] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: (but its a moot point, since that's my Vista Ultimate box doing Media Center duties for the Xbox360...not willing to lose that for Linux just yet)] \
[03:22] <IntuitiveNipple> If it can, it'll auto-activate the sets when you install dmraid. But you can try dmraid -ay to do it manually
[03:22] <magic_ninja> evilgold: thats when i dropped drake for it too
[03:22] <Squee-D> I want to image my ubuntu install, and use an ubuntu on cd installer to reimage a drive with it in case of catastrophic failure.. is there a technical name for this kind of solution and a project for it ? :)
[03:23] <overridex> is there a way to have network-manager setup a wireless connection before logging in? (as part of the boot process)
[03:23] <IntuitiveNipple> Linux still has a long way to go to challenge Windows, but i think issues surrounding Vista will spur people to move.
[03:23] <Silver_Seagull> metal03: It's a realmedia format
[03:23] <verdRousseau> if I dont use KDE is there any advantages of leaving it on my system
[03:23] <bruenig> nobody will move
[03:23] <linuxgoober> I'm thinking of purchasing a pentium d 805 is overclocking in linux any harder?
[03:23] <Silver_Seagull> metal03: You can play it with Real Alternative
[03:24] <IntuitiveNipple> Linux as a server is fine - its the consumer version that needs a big push in terms of supporting hardware devices
[03:24] <evilgold> magic_ninja, I try other distros on my various other pcs, but for my main one i keep going to ubuntu
[03:24] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: as soon as the 360 hacking picks up (and something like Xbox Media Center for 360 comes out), I'll ditch Vista
[03:24] <IntuitiveNipple> yeah - I'm moving all my servers workstations notebooks and tablets to Edgy rather than move to Vista.
[03:24] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: But I'm glad you gave me some much-needed info on the dmraid probs. Thanks!
[03:24] <mon^rch> ty to whoever put up the grub info... super grub disk worked like a charm :-)
[03:24] <variant> overridex: would be nice wouldn't it
[03:25] <magic_ninja> evilgold: i just like the look, and feel of ubuntu, its the best dist i've tried
[03:25] <overridex> variant:  :)
[03:25] <magic_ninja> evilgold: slackware was probably the worst
[03:25] <mon^rch> got my linux install back !!! :-)
[03:25] <bds> Mikey: I have not come across a device named sit0, but it appears to have something to do with IPv6?
[03:25] <variant> please, this vista talk is hurting my teeth
[03:25] <magic_ninja> evilgold: i havn't tried mandriva, but i know mandrake was SOOOO bloated and ran SOOO slow no matter how many or few packages i installed
[03:25] <Tree> Excuse me, i need some help on ubuntu.When i login with my account it says $home cannot be written and is not owned by me and should be.Anyone know how i can fix it?
[03:26] <variant> magic_ninja: slack pwns
[03:26] <evilgold> magic_ninja, I havnt gotten much into slackware, but i think the worst one i tried was Xandros
[03:26] <Tree> Excuse me, i need some help on ubuntu.When i login with my account it says $home cannot be written and is not owned by me and should be.Anyone know how i can fix it?
[03:26] <magic_ninja> Tree: chown -R <username>:<username> /home/username
[03:26] <Mikey> bds: it lists in ifconfig -a, and no, it isnt an IPV6, or anything to do with it, in fact, i dont think sit0 is RT2500 at all
[03:26] <Tree> thanks
[03:26] <hou5ton> I'm trying to get the Merriam-Webster online dictionary pronunciation feature to work on Edgy with FireFox.  I have javascript enabled, but still no sound. All other sound is working. Go here and see if the pronunciation of Hippocrates works for you, and then please tell me how to make it work for me. http://www.m-w.com/dictionary/hippocrates
[03:26] <bruenig> Tree, when you get into the login screen press ctrl + alt + f1, then run sudo chown -R username:username /home/username

[03:27] <draeath> Arg! What is MikeMaccana's problem? he messed that wiki page all up!
[03:27] <bruenig> variant, worked for me twice before
[03:27] <bds> can you paste the output of ifconfig -a here
[03:27] <auTONYmous> it's slapt-get now, right?
[03:27] <bds> !paste | Mikey
[03:27] <variant> bruenig: yes, it is still a very bad idea
[03:27] <ubotu> Mikey: paste is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste)
[03:27] <bruenig> are there any files not owned by user in ~
[03:27] <Mikey> i cant because its on a different machine, but i can trpe it in if you want

[03:28] <pianoboy3333> Is there a reason flash on linux -- the audio goes out of sync?
[03:28] <overridex> pianoboy3333: yes, flash 9 beta
[03:28] <bruenig> pianoboy3333, are you using flash 7?
[03:29] <overridex> pianoboy3333: err.. fixes that :)
[03:29] <magic_ninja> now...whwat i says saying
[03:29] <pianoboy3333> no, 9 beta 2
[03:29] <auTONYmous> keyword: beta...
[03:29] <pianoboy3333> overridex: I'm on 9 beta 2
[03:29] <overridex> pianoboy3333: odd
[03:29] <jrib> pianoboy3333: yes, because it's flash
[03:29] <pianoboy3333> jrib: ...
[03:29] <magic_ninja> do update my graphics card drivers from backports i just apt-get nvidia-glx because the auto update won't do it right?
[03:29] <overridex> audio's been pretty well synced for me in 9
[03:29] <MarcC-Li> anybody know how to center the bootsplash when it's off-center?

[03:30] <timmy> I am having trouble with a wireless network in Ubuntu. It seems to be unable to connect to a wireless network that I know works with other computers (from an Airport Base Station). Also, the wireless card in the Ubuntu desktop works fine, apparently, as it can connect to other wireless networks. Can anyone help?

[03:30] <stuffzman> Hi.  I'm not new to linux, and  I just installed 6.10, and I got sound juicer working with lame for mp3 ripping.  I'd like to know how can I get vbr instead of cbr.  I have it currently doing cbr at 192kbps.    with this line "audio/x-raw-int,rate=44100,channels=2 ! lame name=enc bitrate=192 ! id3v2mux"    I'm trying to understand the lame presets like 1001 and 1002. Any pointers would be great!
[03:30] <pianoboy3333> jrib: what do you mean specs....? pentium 4 3 ghz, 1 gig of ram.... good logitech speakers, and a 19" monitor...
[03:30] <bds> Mikey: Searching some things on google
[03:31] <IntuitiveNipple> timmy: what encryption is in use on the network? some wireless drivers in Linux support WEP but not WPA
[03:31] <hou5ton> IntuitiveNipple:   how do I check for those things ... or make sure they are added?
[03:31] <genius314> Does anyone have a wireless card that plugs into the USB?
[03:31] <timmy> IntuitiveNipple: Well, I thought that might be an issue, so I turned the encryption off (though it was WPA), and I still can't get on the unsecured network
[03:31] <IntuitiveNipple> hou5ton: I've never done it myself, but I'd guess it ought be possible. What browser are you using?
[03:31] <jrib> pianoboy3333: that's what I meant
[03:32] <auTONYmous> timmy: are you broadcasting the SSID?
[03:32] <Mikey> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/898/
[03:32] <pianoboy3333> jrib: I think that's enough to run flash :)
[03:32] <IntuitiveNipple> timmy - does the network have MAC address authentication? thats caught me out before!
[03:32] <stuffzman> i have found that wpa and usb + linux = very difficult unless you have the right driver + ndiswrapper or a good chipset that linux likes...
[03:32] <hou5ton> IntuitiveNipple:   FireFox <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:32] <jrib> pianoboy3333: flash requires 512mb ram and 128mb video memory which i think is ridiculous
[03:32] <timmy> auTONYmous: I think so, but I don't know (or how to check).
[03:32] <IntuitiveNipple> hou5ton: let me google it for you
[03:32] <Mikey> bds: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/898/
[03:32] <stuffzman> anyone have a good definitive place for sound juicer + mp3 + vbr ?

[03:33] <genius314> Hey can anyone help me with USB? I have a wireless card that plugs into a USB port, but when i plug it into a different port, it stops working. This is a problem, since I want to change from a 1.1 hub to a 2.0 hub. Can anyone help me configure it so that it can be read from a different port?
[03:33] <timmy> IntuitiveNipple: that's a good point. I know a little about that but not a lot. How could I find out if that's the problem & fix it?
[03:34] <Mikey> bds: but it is shown in device manager, and by lshw =S

[03:34] <bds> Mikey: try 'sudo modprobe rt2500'
[03:34] <IntuitiveNipple> timmy: check in the Access Point's management interface for MAC-based security settings
[03:34] <Vuen> i had an extra monitor lying around, so i just set up multiple monitors with xinerama on my ubuntu
[03:34] <Vuen> which was a huge pain to set up, but it seems to work now
[03:34] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: Oh, wait...I just realized what you meant. DOH!
[03:35] <IntuitiveNipple> lol
[03:35] <Vuen> so far, i'm underwhelmed. full-screen games entirely crash the X server when they try to run, and the whole thing just seems really sluggish

[03:35] <IntuitiveNipple> I know - this damned room-only chat with multiple conversations is like the Tower Of Babel
[03:35] <Vuen> it seems to not want to repaint windows, and when it does it's very slow...
[03:35] <Vuen> is this normal?
[03:35] <Vuen> is xinerama supposed to be this slow?
[03:35] <bds> Mikey: now try lsmod

[03:36] <overridex> Vuen: use "twinview" in nvidia's drivers to setup dual monitors
[03:36] <Silver_Seagull> metal03: sorry- went to get a drink.  Real Alternative is a set of codecs for Media Player Classic that remove the need to have Real Player and its associated junk installed on your system.  Lighter on resources too.

[03:37] <Vuen> overridex: wow. yeah, i want that
[03:37] <genius314> Does anyone know why my USB wireless card can only be plugged into a certain port, and how to change this?
[03:37] <kauer> hah, YOU feel cheap and dirty. I'm doing it with 931 people!
[03:37] <overridex> Vuen: i was using a gf 5900 at the time
[03:37] <Vuen> overridex: are you still using twinview? if so, can you pastebin your xorg.conf for me, pretty please? :)
[03:37] <overridex> kauer: haha
[03:38] <overridex> Vuen: i'm not or a i would... i got a nice widescreen lcd and need to get another :)
[03:38] <hou5ton> overridex:   yes ... I have it installed
[03:38] <timmy> IntuitiveNipple: The only MAC-based security is disabled. Any other ideas? (Could it be that this particular AP automatically chooses channels rather than staying on one?)
[03:39] <bayzider1>  any one
[03:39] <genius314> Please?
[03:39] <overridex> IntuitiveNipple: that's a hilarious nick btw
[03:39] <IntuitiveNipple> timmy: with a n infrastructure network (that is, in Access Point mode) the AP is on a fixed channel and the clients find it
[03:39] <kauer> genius, what was the question?
[03:39] <overridex> bayzider1: man ifconfig
[03:39] <Silver_Seagull> bayzider1: You can spoof a MAC address, but a MAC address is assigned to each piece of hardware.
[03:40] <genius314> kauer: I'm trying to configure my USB. I have a USB wireless card, but it only works in a certain port.
[03:40] <bds> Mikey: What version of Ubuntu are you using?
[03:40] <Mikey> bds: thing is tho, it detected the ra0 when i was installing ubuntu, but then froze, and next time i run it, it didnt detect it,
[03:40] <Mikey> bds: newest one 6.10
[03:40] <IntuitiveNipple> timmy: the only thing I can think is that the AP is on a channel above the range the client can search. For example, the AP on 13 and the client limited to 11 - this happens because of different legal restrictions, so the US has 11 channels, Europe 12, Japan 13
[03:40] <metal03> Silver_Seagull : Could you help me install this Real alternate thing?
[03:40] <Rookie-1> Silver_Seagull - you can edit the mac addy in some of the cards
[03:40] <PeTaZeTa> ?
[03:40] <IntuitiveNipple> overridex: re my nick, thanks ... its from a saying
[03:40] <Vuen> overridex: alright, i set up twinview, restarting X. wish me luck...
[03:40] <variant> overridex: actualy that would be ethtool
[03:41] <variant> bayzider1: apt-get install ethtool && man ethtool
[03:41] <Silver_Seagull> Rookie-1: News to me :)
[03:41] <overridex> Vuen: good luck
[03:41] <kauer> genius314: Hm, well, I can't help you there. Does it still only work from a certain port after a full powercycle (laptop OFF)?
[03:41] <bds> Mikey: try 'sudo ifdown ra0 && sudo ifup ra0 && ifconfig -a'
[03:41] <timmy> IntuitiveNipple: also--and I don't know if this is related or not--when entering an SSID, I seem to be unable to browse networks (I thought I remembered having that ability at one point, but my memory may be flawed). Is this normal?
[03:42] <Silver_Seagull> metal03: Are you on Windows or Ubuntu right now?  Windows I could walk you through- I've never used it on Ubuntu before though (as you may be able to tell, having issues getting it installing :p)
[03:42] <genius314> kauer: Yeah, it still doesn't work. Its a problem, because I want to change hubs.
[03:42] <Tree> Well i'm still having errors
[03:42] <d7thstring> can someone help me with my tvtuner and mythtv
[03:42] <Tree> it says i dont own $home
[03:42] <Tree> and etc is a software error or something
[03:42] <IntuitiveNipple> timmy: some drivers require you to enter the SSID... I think Windows spoils us sometimes into have massive expectations of everything in the 'free'dom world
[03:42] <metal03> Silver_Seagull : I wouldn't need help on windows...  but I'm on Ubuntu...  been using it for a day now...  and I love it...!!
[03:43] <kauer> genius314: Which port is it? Does it work e.g. in the port you have the hub attached to?
[03:43] <Flannel> Silver_Seagull: if it makes you feel better, you'd need to download a good deal of the packages anyway, that is, the updated ones.  If you want, you can use the minimal installer (8.something MB) to install, it does the same thign the alternate does, but downloads new versions of everything as part of installation.  Nice if you have slow but reliable bandwidth, but not so if you plan on reinstalling a few times (since oyu'd have to downl
[03:43] <Mikey> bds: ifdown: interface ra0 not configured, next line: ignoring unknown interface ra0=ra0, then spits out ifconfig -a
[03:44] <Flannel>   Silver_Seagull https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD is the link to that
[03:44] <Mikey> bds: nothing new in ifconfig -a btw, same old local loopback and a sit0
[03:44] <timmy> IntuitiveNipple: thanks; one last question, do you know how I could reset or restart the preferences associated with the network settings (if there are any)?
[03:44] <genius314> kauer: I don't know. But it only works when its plugged into the extention-cord/stand thing that came with it. If I just plug the card right into the hub, it doesn't work either. And none of the other hub ports work.
[03:45] <IntuitiveNipple> in Linux? there should be an ifup and ifdown script for each device in /etc/network
[03:45] <Vuen> hm.
[03:45] <auTONYmous> genius314: is it a powered hub?
[03:45] <Vuen> this works, except my windows maximize across both screens
[03:45] <timmy> IntuitiveNipple: what are those?
[03:46] <timmy> (yes, in Linux)
[03:46] <IntuitiveNipple> timmy: I forget now, but thats how the network interfaces are started and stopped. load them into a text editor to see what they do
[03:46] <genius314> auTONYmous: No. I think theres a port in the back for a power cord, but I haven't needed one so far. The new hub is 2.0, and it came with a power cord. I'm not sure if it needs it, though.
[03:46] <timmy> IntuitiveNipple: ok, thanks
[03:47] <verdRousseau> whats a good torrent downloader
[03:47] <auTONYmous> genius314: try plugging in the 2.0 hub (the power cord, that it). USB has _some_ power to all devices, but the wireless adapter may need more than the USB bus provides without an external power adapter on the hub
[03:47] <IntuitiveNipple> Vuen: I configured xinimera last night and have it working perfectly on a Matrox G450
[03:48] <Vuen> IntuitiveNipple: are you using twinview?
[03:48] <IntuitiveNipple> no, i chose ximinera (if thats how you spell it!)
[03:48] <kauer> genius314: I'm having trouble visualising this. You have a USB port on your laptop (or desktop?). You have a hub plugged into that. You have an "extension cord/stand" that you plug into port X on the hub. Then you plug the USB wireless card into the "extension cord/stand". Does the card itself have a USB plug? I mean, *can* it be plugged directly into your computer? (this is BTW going the same way as auTONYmous - I want to make sure the
[03:49] <genius314> auTONYmous: I've already tried combinations (with power, without, etc), and nothing works. Even if I use the same hub, but a different port on the hub, the card won't work. I'm guessing its some sort of configuration problem, not the hub itself.
[03:49] <elyon225> Is there any way to run a file as super user from within gnome (without using the terminal)?
[03:49] <bds> Mikey: I am sorry but I don't think I have any more suggestions perhaps there is someone else here that can help with your wireless adapter?
[03:49] <Silver_Seagull> Flannel: Thanks :)
[03:49] <Vuen> IntuitiveNipple: hmm. i used xinerama instead of twinview also, except it's really slow
[03:49] <bds> Can someone help Mikey configure a mini-pci wireless adapter?
[03:49] <bds> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/896/
[03:49] <Vuen> IntuitiveNipple: dragging windows from one screen to another has serious framerate issues, and sometimes windows don't get repainted at all
[03:50] <IntuitiveNipple> Vuen: I used the Xinerama info in the forums howto http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174
[03:51] <auTONYmous> genius314: Sorry, maybe someone else can help
[03:51] <genius314> kauer: http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=179211 That's the card. The stand is optional, but it still wont work without it for some reason. Also, I'm using a desktop.
[03:51] <IntuitiveNipple> Vuen: are you using a single adaptor with dualhead, or two adapters?

I can see all the menus are in French but I still only have one choice of keyboards in the Keyboard Layout Switcher applet. How do I add another language to the applet?
[03:53] <bds> Mikey: I am not sure a reinstall is necessary, there are usually a few folks in here that are good at helping with wireless in here, but they seem to be absent at the moment :(
[03:53] <auTONYmous> I will say this: I have built-in wireless in my laptop, with a button to activate/deactivate it. Network Manager was the only way to get it to activate and configure reliably using the button. Maybe you'll have more luck with USB devices that change their USB port using Network Manager
[03:53] <Tamacracker> I have Kubuntu though
[03:53] <Tamacracker> Would it be Network Settings?
[03:53] <bds> Mikey: Or just busy ;)
[03:54] <Tree> Alright guys, linux still says i don't own $home and must cmod it 664.What do i do?

[03:55] <justin_> Tree, chmod 664 /dir/dir
[03:55] <Mikey> bye bye everyone, have a fun night ;)
[03:55] <kauer> genius314: I think the stand is just to give the antenna a good position. I am starting to suspect a physical problem with the contacts in the wireless stick and/or the hub, probably related to power. Do you have another USB extension cable you could use? Or another laptop you could try the thing on?
[03:55] <Tree> ho would i do it?
[03:55] <justin_> Tree, ...
[03:55] <kitche> Tree: /home or /home/user?

[03:56] <jmdc> is source code (or a package a can apt-get) available for malone (ubuntu's bug-tracker)
[03:56] <cilkay> Tree: chmod doesn't change ownership. It changes permissions. chown is what you're looking for.
[03:56] <Tree> "sudo chmod 664 /home"
[03:56] <kitche> You shouldn't be chmoding /home
[03:56] <justin_> kitche, Reason
[03:56] <IntuitiveNipple> Vuen: since you mentions TwinView i assume its nVidia?
[03:56] <compsman> xmms with win32codecs
[03:56] <compsman> ?
[03:56] <justin_> or sudo chown you you:folder
[03:56] <justin_> whatever one
[03:57] <Tree> sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0
[03:57] <Tree> i get that error
[03:57] <genius314> kauer: I know what the stand is for. It won't work without it, though, for some reason (I think it did in Windows). I could try a bunch of different combinations. But I've plugged the card into different ports on the hub, different ports in the back of the PC, and nothing works.
[03:57] <justin_> Tree, What version of Ubuntu are you on?
[03:57] <pchilds> Gee thanks I already tried installing that way from the upgrade notes but still it only works until you reboot. Then it never loads. Who knows.
[03:57] <Tree> the one before the current.
[03:57] <justin_> Tree, .. sudo -H -s to root.
[03:58] <justin_> Go into /etc and look at your sudoers file.
[03:58] <eimajenthat> What's the difference, as far as performance, of downloading  something, like a linux ISO, from an HTTP server, vs an FTP server?
[03:58] <cilkay> How do I add another language to Keyboard Layout Switcher?
[03:58] <IntuitiveNipple> eimajenthat: none at all
[03:58] <justin_> eimajenthat, FTP's are dedicated to file service.
[03:58] <justin_> Http's sometimes experience more traffic then the FTP, that's about it.. but usually there is no real difference and sometimes HTTP is by far the speedier of the two.
[03:59] <IntuitiveNipple> eimajenthat: HTTP can go through firewalls and proxies that FTP sometimes can't
[03:59] <auTONYmous> and FTP's tend to be more often per-connection bandwidth limited, where http servers usually aren't
[03:59] <draeath> anyone know how to get the same stuff dmesg puts out, put in a terminal session in realtime?
[04:00] <Tree> same error
[04:00] <Vuen> IntuitiveNipple: yes
[04:00] <IntuitiveNipple> oooo get us, all this protocol knowledge :D
[04:00] <IntuitiveNipple> Vuen: I don't have any experience with nVidia and dual monitors, sorry.
[04:00] <eimajenthat> IntuitiveNipple and justin_, cool cool.  But there's essentially no badwidth cap, right?  Let's say I'm transferring a file between two machines on my home network, 100Mbit ethernet.  I should get the same transfer rate regarrdless of whether I use HTTP, FTP, NFS, or Samba?
[04:00] <jerp_> Gators baby, yeah!!!!!!
[04:00] <pigwrangler> how do i reconfigure x to choose which device to use such as intel915 rather then vesa
[04:00] <mag_> how can I login using windows XP home to samba ? ;( help me please  !
[04:00] <justin_> eimajenthat, Depends on the speed of the server, but usually I would go with HTTP.
[04:00] <keithg> So guys, is there a way to restore the startup script?  (Or whatever that is called, bear with me.) I installed Slackware on a seperate hard drive, and I have no clue how that could have tampered with that, but it logs me into a root account while its booting, and I have to type "exit" to get it to continue.
[04:01] <auTONYmous> eimajenthat: default config, your own server, no you shouldn't
[04:01] <IntuitiveNipple> eimajenthat: Assuming the route isn't limited or having problems, yes
[04:01] <justin_> But from network to network, no no difference.
[04:01] <jerp_> buckeyes denied a first down, fourth and less than one
[04:01] <foo> er, I installed edgy.. and man.. scrolling down a page in firefox really lags. I think I need the video drivers, lame. I don't remember doing this with dapper, I don't think. I have a ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY. Any ideas?
[04:01] <auTONYmous> jerp_: SAW THAT!!!
[04:01] <Algorithmist> how would I install firefox 2 from the command line?
[04:01] <eimajenthat> IntuitiveNipple and justin_, so, if the route's limited or having problems, one of those protocols might correct better?
[04:01] <riotkittie> football. ugh. the only thing on the planet that confuses me more than linux
[04:02] <Tamacracker> Guys when I type this command: sudo vi /etc/network/interfaces  I get this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/902/
[04:02] <justin_> eimajenthat, Yeah.
[04:02] <eimajenthat> IntuitiveNipple and justin_, which one?
[04:02] <bruenig> Algorithmist, there are scripts you can use on the forums
[04:02] <justin_> eimajenthat, FTP.
[04:02] <variant> Algorithmist: edgy comes with fx2, what version of ubuntu you using?
[04:02] <IntuitiveNipple> eimajenthat: sometimes any protocol that does repeated DNS lookups rather than caching the IP can be slowed down by DNS issues
[04:02] <Tree> Well this is officially stuffed.
[04:03] <auTONYmous> tree: is this a new install, an upgrade, or something else?
[04:03] <bruenig> Algorithmist, essentially, you wget the .tar.gz, you untar it and put it in /opt, then link over the /usr/bin/firefox symlink and all the plugins
[04:03] <kyncani> !ati >foo
[04:03] <IntuitiveNipple> Also, HTTP can recover broken downloads better than many FTP servers that don't support resume
[04:03] <kauer> genius314: if the problem is an electrical contact in the stick, it could be that you need the stand to make proper contact with the stick. If the cable has a bad electrical contact, it may only work in one port, that happens to make good contact. You should therefore try using another extension cable. You could also see if it still works - in other ports - under Windows. If it does, then what we have here is a software problem, not a ha
[04:03] <compsman> i need mp3 wma for xmms
[04:03] <Flannel> Tamacracker: are you editing it somewhere else?  if not, follow the instructions in step 2
[04:03] <Tamacracker> ok..
[04:03] <variant> compsman: if your wma files are infected with drm you wont be able to play them. there is a program or two for removing the drm but i dont konw where to get them
[04:04] <genius314> kauer: Okay. I think it works in Windows. Then again, its been a while... I'll go check...
[04:04] <IntuitiveNipple> I prefer HTTP because you can implement logon permissions simply with the .htaccess restrictions
[04:04] <kauer> genius314: and the obvious other thing to try - another USB wireless stick! Can you just swap it at the shop?
[04:04] <I_am_hollywood> anyone know if it is possible to implement xp msstyles on wine ?
[04:04] <auTONYmous> variant: The latest Helix player supports WMA DRM...
[04:04] <justin_> variant, "Infected" with DRM?
[04:04] <jerp_> compsman, 'find' wma on this page http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy
[04:04] <justin_> variant, Do you not think that was a tad harsh?
[04:05] <justin_> What's a matter variant, hate freedom? :P
[04:05] <riotkittie> ahh digital (you've got no) rights management. yum yum yum.
[04:05] <variant> auTONYmous: windows media DRM? and it plays on gnu/linux with just the installation of helix player?
[04:05] <variant> justin_: wha?
[04:05] <overridex> justin_: how does drm == freedom?
[04:05] <Tamacracker> (You might want to write out this file under another name ?!
[04:05] <justin_> overridex, The freedom to make music, and sell it
[04:05] <variant> ha ha ha ha
[04:05] <Tamacracker> and run diff with the original file to check for changes)
[04:05] <Tamacracker> Delete the .swp file afterwards.
[04:05] <justin_> And in the process make sure no one steals it
[04:05] <amicrawler> why is my system so slow
[04:05] <overridex> justin_: pretty sure you can do that without drm :)
[04:05] <auTONYmous> variant: Not sure, but I read the blurbs on their site. Now, as to creating a DRM file in Winblows and playing it in Linux, jury's still out on that one.
[04:05] <amicrawler> i got a p4 1.8ghz
[04:06] <amicrawler> a nv fx7800
[04:06] <amicrawler> 256mb of video and
[04:06] <variant> auTONYmous: i would be stunned if you could play with helix player drm'd files on gnu/linux
[04:06] <amicrawler> 256mb of ram
[04:06] <amicrawler> and 160gb of drive
[04:06] <justin_> overridex, Naw - and as I can see you are en enemy of freedom.
[04:06] <amicrawler> can any body help me please
[04:06] <kauer> is there any way in IRC to filter the conversation? Not that you are not all absolutely fascinating, but it would be helpful sometimes...
[04:06] <justin_> overridex, As you can see I was being sarcastic ;)
[04:06] <eimajenthat> IntuitiveNipple: A good point.  I've been thinking about a more efficient way to manage my mp3 library.  All my music is one my wife's mac w/iTunes, so I was trying to setup the DAAP sharing, but it's not been working properly.  So I was reading about MPD, but I played with it, and it doesn't 100% work the way I'd want.
[04:07] <juano> amicrawler: motherboard?
[04:07] <amicrawler> intel
[04:07] <I_am_hollywood>  anyone know if it is possible to implement xp msstyles on wine ?
[04:07] <juano> amicrawler: FSB?
[04:07] <variant> justin_: I won't bother responding to that except with this url :http://www.defectivebydesign.org/en/node
[04:07] <Flannel> I_am_hollywood: people in #winehq might have a higher probability of knowing
[04:07] <variant> justin_: remove the ":" from the start to make it a valid url, sorry
[04:07] <I_am_hollywood> Flannel: thanks
[04:08] <overridex> justin_: ;)
[04:08] <eimajenthat> IntuitiveNipple justin_: Thanks for the info.  You've given me a lot to think about.
[04:08] <Dante123> what are minimum requirement (reasonable) for ubuntu on older hardware?
[04:08] <variant> I_am_hollywood: I think there is prelimenary work towards that end
[04:08] <justin_> variant, I was being sarcastic
[04:08] <bruenig> kauer, blocking people, generally people use your name so if you have a decent client anything addressed to you will be a different color and noticeable so that at least acts as a visual filter
[04:08] <jerp_> Gators baby, yeah!!!!!!
[04:08] <justin_> eimajenthat, No problem.
[04:08] <inveratulo> greetings chaps
[04:08] <variant> I_am_hollywood: if you run wincfg there is a themes section, but afaik it is non functional (as of about 4 months ago anyway)
[04:09] <variant> justin_: if overridex is an enemy of freedom your an enemy of sanity :P
[04:09] <amicrawler> it is intel 82850 850 Tehama chip set
[04:09] <justin_> variant, :P
[04:09] <juano> amicrawler: no idea... how slow are we talking about?
[04:10] <I_am_hollywood> variant: yeah I noticed that section but what I want to do is run msstyles so I can use custom xp skins rather than the horrid win98 look for photoshop
[04:10] <amicrawler> kde is refresh reight is slow
[04:10] <amicrawler> screens very slow draw
[04:10] <juano> amicrawler: have you tried gnome?
[04:10] <amicrawler> nope
[04:11] <I_am_hollywood> amicrawler: which grapgics car and driver are you using ?
[04:11] <jerp_> :)
[04:11] <variant> I_am_hollywood: sorry, don't know if thats possible at the momment
[04:11] <variant> I_am_hollywood: #wine as somone else mentioned
[04:11] <juano> amicrawler: did you install nvidia driver?
[04:12] <I_am_hollywood> variant: I really don't think it is but I am just curious , and yeah I am now on that cannel
[04:12] <amicrawler> yes
[04:12] <auTONYmous> GATORS SCORE AGAIN!
[04:12] <amicrawler> and enabled it to
[04:12] <juano> amicrawler: go into konsole, type glx-gears and see if they move fast
[04:13] <kauer> genius314: How'd it go?
[04:13] <amicrawler> glx
[04:13] <amicrawler> ?
[04:13] <genius314> kauer: The connection is fine in any port.
[04:13] <Flannel> !offtopic | auTONYmous
[04:13] <ubotu> auTONYmous: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:13] <amicrawler> i have nvida
[04:13] <auTONYmous> thanks, flannel
[04:13] <amicrawler> card
[04:14] <auTONYmous> I just thought Jerp_ would like to know
[04:14] <elyon225> Is there any way to run a file as super user from within gnome (without using the terminal)?
[04:14] <auTONYmous> elyon225: alt-f2
[04:14] <Flannel> auTONYmous: he may very well, but He'll need to learn of score changes in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:14] <juano> amicrawler: typ glxgears all together
[04:14] <juano> amicrawler: and check to see if it goes fast
[04:14] <amicrawler> there moving
[04:14] <kauer> genius314: well, that says it's a software problem. Something is binding the device to a particular port. what does lspci say (under Linux) about the device?
[04:14] <amicrawler> then they studder
[04:15] <juano> amicrawler: then your card is not configured properly
[04:15] <juano> amicrawler: they move very slow?
[04:15] <amicrawler> yep
[04:15] <juano> amicrawler: you didnt install nvidia drivers good then
[04:15] <amicrawler> how to config properly?
[04:15] <elyon225> auTONYmous: That still isn't SU
[04:15] <elyon225> ohhh
[04:15] <elyon225> nevermind lol
[04:15] <amicrawler> is there a how to ?
[04:16] <Flannel> elyon225: in the window, gksudo [whatever]
[04:16] <I_am_hollywood> wouldn't amicrawler be better off using nvidia drivers ?
[04:16] <juano> amicrawler: go into console as root, type kate /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:16] <kauer> genius314: um, and lsusb of course
[04:16] <elyon225> Flannel: Right.  Caught that right after I said something ;)
[04:16] <genius314> kauer: Oh. That would explain why it didn't show up... XD
[04:16] <auTONYmous> elyon225: it's either use alt-f2 to gksudo <your command>, or create a Nautlius script to browse as root
[04:16] <juano> amicrawler: check in the device section and see if you can find an "nv", if thats so, change that to nvidia and restart X
[04:16] <Flannel> elyon225: there used to be (probably still is somewhere, but I wouldnt know), a "run as super user" launcher available as well
[04:16] <kauer> genius314: what is XD?
[04:17] <genius314> kauer: Bus 002 Device 004: ID 050d:705c Belkin Components
[04:17] <juano> amicrawler: that would be for Driver
[04:17] <kauer> genius314:and when you plug it in somewhere else...?
[04:17] <elyon225> auTONYmous: Hmm... I tried doing gksudo and sudo and it doesn't open the file...
[04:17] <elyon225> but if I remove the sudo, it works just fine (albeit not in su mode)
[04:17] <auTONYmous> elyon225: are you trying to gedit a file or something?
[04:17] <juano> amicrawler: if you get problems just turn it back to nv and come back
[04:18] <elyon225> auTONYmous: No... I'm trying to open an archive.
[04:18] <auTONYmous> oh, then you have to use nautilus
[04:18] <overridex> is there a way to move a partition with gparted so that it frees up some space at the start of the drive to put a /boot partition?
[04:18] <genius314> kauer: XD is a smiley. Hmm, now it seems to allow me to use it in any port. Now I really don't know what is going on.
[04:18] <auTONYmous> elyon225: (this assumes you have the scripts, which I forget where I installed this from), but...
[04:18] <amicrawler> ok  borard name is nv
[04:19] <auTONYmous> elyon225: right-click the folder containing the archive, go to "Scripts -> root nautilus here"
[04:19] <Jessehk> overridex: Couldn't you just resize the partition?
[04:19] <fiendskull9> anyone else notice the slowness in edgy repos?
[04:19] <Flannel> overridex: ext3 drives can only have their tails moved.  depending on your partition usage, you may or may not be able to massage your partitions into some freespace
[04:19] <kauer> genius314: I wonder if the stick was in some kind of state that Windows has fixed. Yuk.
[04:19] <jerp_> glxgears needs to have an mph rating in the window at the bottom
[04:19] <juano> amicrawler: ok, change the driver from "nv" to "nvidia"
[04:19] <genius314> kauer: Maybe. Maybe I should try it in the new hub now?
[04:19] <elyon225> auTONYmous: There is no 'Scripts' listed.
[04:20] <amicrawler> driver sayes nvidia
[04:20] <overridex> Flannel: it's an ntfs partition that i'm trying to get some unallocated space in front of to put a /boot partition
[04:20] <amicrawler> boradname said nv
[04:20] <kauer> genius314: I seem to recall reading somewhere that USB wireless was still pretty flakey under Linux. Also found this: http://www.linuxemporium.co.uk/products/wireless/
[04:20] <jerp_> auTONYmous, thanks for the heads up there a few minutes ago :)
[04:20] <Aggort> Is there a way to get Ubuntu to support 1440 x 900?
[04:20] <Flannel> overridex: ah.  Um, I actually have no idea if ntfs's beginnings are movable.
[04:20] <variant> Flannel: actualy, the latest version of gparted can resize/move all in any direction (there is one restriction on xfs but i don't recall what it was)
[04:21] <kauer> genius314:  hey go for it :-)
[04:21] <variant> Flannel: ntfs has full move/resize support
[04:21] <auTONYmous> elyon225: Okay, then you can alt-f2, "gksudo file-roller", then open the archive
[04:21] <genius314> kauer: Okay.
[04:21] <kauer> ngenius314: Gotta go - geed luck :-)
[04:21] <amicrawler> i get the bootsplash of nvidia
[04:21] <pomalley> i need help with my fat32 partition--is this the right place to ask?
[04:22] <overridex> Flannel: hehe k
[04:22] <variant> Flannel: the chart on the gparted homepage is out of date
[04:22] <juano> amicrawler: you should have something like this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/903/
[04:22] <Aggort> Is there a way to get Ubuntu to view at 1440 x 900?
[04:22] <juano> amicrawler: you do?
[04:22] <Camden> does anybody know if it's "safe" to upgrade to edgy
[04:22] <elyon225> auTONYmous: Thank you... that worked.
[04:22] <Camden> I can't find info that says if the early problems are still there
[04:22] <amicrawler> yeah i do
[04:22] <juano> amicrawler: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf, copy it and paste it in paste bin here  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, pass me the url
[04:23] <Vuen> hey guys, i'm having a problem with twinview. i set it up using nvidia-settings and it works great, except when i maximize a window, it stretches across both monitors. how can i make it maximize to only one monitor?
[04:23] <auTONYmous> elyon225: I knew SOMETHING would work...
[04:23] <Camden> i see "hints" on the forums of what to do if it messes up
[04:23] <Aggort> Is there a way to get Ubuntu to view at 1440 x 900?
[04:23] <Camden> but i am looking for something that says that things have been fixed somewhat
[04:23] <Camden> i am still scared by the horror stories
[04:23] <variant> Aggort: if the monitor/gfx card/driver supports it
[04:23] <Vuen> Aggort: yes, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and add in the resolution
[04:24] <Flannel> variant: only through the same massagings that you would have to manually do anyway.  libparted still cannot move beginnings of those FS types
[04:24] <Camden> i also saw something that said "don't upgrade unless you need to"
[04:24] <Aggort> VuenL In terminal?
[04:24] <gray> camden: i upgraded.  no problems here =)
[04:24] <variant> Flannel: i assure you it can
[04:24] <Aggort> Vuen:*
[04:24] <Camden> is there any info about what the problems were and what was done about them?
[04:24] <Camden> that would reassure me somewhat
[04:24] <Vuen> Aggort: wherever you want. press alt+f2, type "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[04:25] <Aggort> ty very much
[04:25] <Vuen> Aggort: make sure you make a backup first
[04:25] <Vuen> Aggort: because if you break that file, your windowing environment will be gone
[04:25] <Vuen> make sure you know how to restore it from a terminal before starting
[04:25] <IntuitiveNipple> Vuen: try reading this, especially the note at the end http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=1454810#post1454810
[04:26] <Aggort> vuen will do
[04:26] <auTONYmous> vuen: default gedit behavior is to create a backup of a file...unless you switch the option off...but you're right..manual backup is more peace of mind
[04:27] <magic_ninja> how do i upgrade my nvidia driver w/backports
[04:27] <magic_ninja> or better yet all of my software
[04:27] <IntuitiveNipple> backups with date/time based names are more useful, too
[04:27] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: that's the convention where I work. <filename>.YYYYMMDD
[04:28] <IntuitiveNipple> i always put the date/time in the middle, so the extension remains the same and so categorising and finding files isn't affected
[04:28] <Camden> What's the best way to get a .wmv video onto a DVD?
[04:29] <auTONYmous> IntuitiveNipple: we use the date last so sorting the files yields the most recent changes (and eases figuring out WHO THE FSCK did it...)
[04:29] <Camden> right now I have a very convoluted solution
[04:29] <Camden> through .avi
[04:29] <IntuitiveNipple> ahhh, i see. I'm usually more interested in still having default access to files (based on their extension)
[04:29] <Camden> which takes lots of disk space during the process
[04:29] <Pummage> Howdy Doody gentlemen and ladies.
[04:29] <Camden> i do mencoder to get the avi
[04:30] <Camden> then i use kino to edit and gen. the mpeg
[04:30] <IntuitiveNipple> camden - is it possible to use VirtualDub ?
[04:30] <Camden> then dvdauth
[04:30] <Camden> never tried it
[04:30] <Camden> is it like kino?
[04:30] <cafuego> Camden: Can't you just use ffmpeg and go from wmv->vob?
[04:30] <Pummage> Can somebody help me with installing Ubuntu?
[04:30] <cablesm102> Pummage, sure
[04:30] <IntuitiveNipple> I used it with Adobe Preimere Pro as a frame server and had good results
[04:31] <Pummage> can I query you?
[04:31] <Aggort> Vuen: How do I add it exactly?
[04:31] <Camden> vob will import oto kino?
[04:31] <cafuego> IntuitiveNipple: That doesn't run particularly well on linux *and* costs a lot of money.
[04:31] <Camden> is vob compressed?
[04:31] <IntuitiveNipple> what VurtalDub ?
[04:31] <cafuego> Camden: VOB is MPEg2 for DVD
[04:31] <cafuego> IntuitiveNipple: Premiere pro
[04:31] <Vuen> Aggort: under the Screen section, you'll see a series of Modes lines, like this:
[04:32] <Vuen> Modes           "1440x900" "1280x1024" "1152x864" "1024x768" "832x624" "800x600" "720x400" "640x480" "640x350"
[04:32] <pigwrangler> anyone ever install on a macbook?
[04:32] <IntuitiveNipple> oh, i know that! I was talking about VirtualDub though
[04:32] <Tamacracker> does anyone know how to use Airsnort?
[04:32] <Vuen> add in 1440x900 like i did above
[04:32] <Aggort> yea
[04:32] <cafuego> pigwrangler: Not yet, but when I get a new laptop I will :-)
[04:32] <Camden> so is VOB what is output by Kino when you select "export to DVD"?
[04:32] <IntuitiveNipple> it can be used by a lot of apps as i understand it, using the frame-server
[04:32] <Tamacracker> does anyone know how to use Airsnort?
[04:32] <Aggort> ty
[04:32] <magic_ninja> Tamacracker: get on google.com and look up some howtos
[04:32] <pigwrangler> i cant seem to get the rez 1280x800 for mine to work
[04:32] <cafuego> !repeat > Tamacracker
[04:32] <Camden> do you know the ffmpeg command line to go from .wmv to vob?
[04:33] <Aggort> Vuen: To every line?
[04:33] <IntuitiveNipple> ahh, virtualdub has problems with wine, apparently
[04:33] <Vuen> Aggort: yes.
[04:33] <amicrawler> still doing it
[04:33] <Camden> so virtualdub is a win prog?
[04:33] <amicrawler> gears slow then studders then slow again
[04:33] <Camden> it needs wine?
[04:33] <cafuego> Camden: yeah. I'm pretty sure ffmpeg can do what you want, anyway.
[04:33] <Camden> cafuego: do you know the cmd line?
[04:34] <Bhaskar> how can i convert rpm package to .dev so thar i can install these package in ubuntu
[04:34] <Aggort> Still doesn't show up
[04:34] <Aggort> ?
[04:34] <IntuitiveNipple> camden, apprently yes. Although its free software, I'd always assumed it was a cross port !
[04:34] <cablesm102> !alien
[04:34] <variant> Bhaskar: alien
[04:34] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[04:34] <IntuitiveNipple> that'll teach me to read up on it
[04:34] <IntuitiveNipple> it looks in windows like its been ported from Linux :)
[04:34] <Aggort> Vuen: Do i then need to restart or re login?
[04:35] <amicrawler> i have the nvidia drivers installed from apt-get
[04:36] <pomalley> hey folks--i'm trying to install vmware server on my machine but when i try to set the directory for the virtual machine files it says "Unable to change access rights" of the folder and stops. The folder in question is on a fat32 drive that i use to share between windows & linux. I had vmware working before, i swear, but I don't remember if this problem came up. (i am running it with root priviledges, of course.)
[04:36] <variant> pomalley: fat32 doesn't support permissions at all
[04:36] <pomalley> that's what i thought, but then how did i have it working before?
[04:36] <pomalley> oh well
[04:36] <Camden> talking about vmware... I actually got Dell to send me an install CD
[04:36] <Camden> it was quite easy
[04:36] <amicrawler> do i need to get the nvidia drivers from nvidia
[04:37] <Camden> is that all i need for vmware?
[04:37] <variant> pomalley: programs that require permissions to be set on it's files before it runs can't be installed on fat32
[04:37] <noelferreira> hi people. need help installing vdr? anyone?
[04:37] <cafuego> Camden: Try this: ffmpeg -i <input file> -target pal-dvd (or ntsc-dvd) -f vob outputfile.vob
[04:37] <Aggort> Vuen: Did ya leave lol
[04:37] <Vuen> Aggort: close all your open windows, then press ctrl+alt+del to restart X.
[04:37] <auTONYmous> pomalley: I never got VMWare to run on anything but a native Linux partition. FAT32 and NTFS wouldn't work
[04:37] <Aggort> ok
[04:37] <Vuen> Aggort: err, not ctrl+alt+del, ctrl+alt+backspace
[04:37] <kyncani> !nvidia > amicrawler
[04:37] <pigwrangler> camden: they sent u a restore disk
[04:38] <pomalley> variant: i have it installed on my ext3 partition. i was just trying to set the location of the virtual machine files to the fat32, 'cause there was more space there
[04:38] <pigwrangler> camden probably chalked full or bull
[04:38] <pomalley> er, that was for auTONYmouse
[04:38] <Camden> cafuego: thanks!
[04:38] <cafuego> Camden: On my machine that generates a 6Mbps MPEG2 video stream with 448Kbps 4800KHz AAC audio
[04:38] <Naik0> someone knows how to change resolution in Fluxbox?
[04:38] <pomalley> auTONYmous, sorry. ugh.
[04:38] <noelferreira> hi people. need help installing vdr? anyone?
[04:38] <auTONYmous> pomalley: that's what I meant. You have to move the VM files off FAT32...
[04:38] <Camden> cafuego: what would i do next after getting the vob?
[04:38] <Camden> i am used to kino, which generates an .xml file
[04:39] <Orangekid13> how do i get to my ntfs drive from an ubuntu livecd to back up my important files... windows sucks, i bow to the holy ubuntu and didn't switch soon enough
[04:39] <Vuen> shit
[04:39] <cafuego> Camden: to the best of my knowledge, they go in a VIDEO_TS directory on a DVD
[04:39] <pomalley> auTONYmous: yeah, but i had the VM files there before. i wiped my ubuntu when the edgy upgrade started, but the vm files were left over 'cause they were on the fat32
[04:39] <Orangekid13> my computer knew what i was up to
[04:39] <Camden> which i use with dvdauthor
[04:39] <pomalley> auTONYmous: and i distinctly remember storing them there and using them
[04:39] <cafuego> Camden: Whatever you normally use to create DVDs,should be able to use VOB files as raw input.
[04:39] <pomalley> auTONYmous: but maybe i'm just crazy
[04:39] <auTONYmous> pomalley: well, you _could_ always try playing with the mount setuid and mount point permissions...good luck (never worked for me)
[04:40] <Camden> cafuego: so i could run dvdauthor on the vob file?
[04:40] <noelferreira> hi people. need help installing vdr? anyone?
[04:40] <Orangekid13> can i get help with ntfs drive access from a live cd?
[04:40] <cafuego> Camden: I've never sued dvdauthor, so I can't tell you.
[04:40] <riotkittie> Orangekid13: i would love to help you but i am clueless on that front
[04:40] <pomalley> auTONYmous: yeah, maybe that's what i had going before, some crazy stuff like that. huh.
[04:41] <h3xis> Orangekid13, i'll help you
[04:41] <cablesm102> My laptop master volume only controls the speakers. I have to use the Headphone control for my headphones. I'd like to have one volume control for everything (a la Windows) that can be controlled by my laptop's volume keys, which right now only control Master.
[04:41] <pomalley> auTONYmous: you don't happen to remember what permissions vmware server requires?
[04:41] <magic_ninja> !automatix
[04:41] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[04:41] <h3xis> Orangekid13, do you want to write to it?
[04:41] <auTONYmous> pomalley: root owner, 644, I would imagine
[04:41] <magic_ninja> !WorksForMe
[04:41] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[04:41] <pigwrangler> how do you see what your current resolution is at?
[04:42] <auTONYmous> pomalley: I don't use server anymore, so I can't confirm
[04:42] <pomalley> auTONYmous: yeah, makes sense. i'll give it a shot.
[04:42] <LucianSolaris> w00t i hacked my gpg to generate 16384 bit keys!!!
[04:42] <riotkittie> !ssh
[04:42] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[04:42] <LucianSolaris> putty is awsome
[04:42] <macd> on xchat where might the file . tools . etc bar at the top have gone? it looks like the gnome-xchant package now
[04:42] <auTONYmous> pomalley: and I moved my VMs to a XFS disk, with solid vdisks
[04:43] <riotkittie> ack. i should have done that somewhere where i had a mouse
[04:43] <Camden> back on the subject of the cd that i got from dell... it says "reinstallation cd ms win xp home edition serv pack 2"
[04:43] <kyncani> pigwrangler: with xdpyinfo
[04:43] <pigwrangler> kyncani thanks
[04:43] <Camden> can i use that in vmware?
[04:43] <kyncani> pigwrangler: np :)
[04:43] <Camden> i would like to wipe out my preinstalled win partition
[04:43] <Bhaskar> variant: how can i recover data of FAT from ubuntu
[04:44] <pomalley> auTONYmous: yeah, i got the vmware station from the repositories but it wouldn't load up the saved VM i had b/c i had that VM set to 2 processors (like my cpu). i could have just rebuilt one, i guess, but i had that one set for my iTunes store account, and since you only have 5 authorizations, and it's always a pain to cancel them all and so on... you get the idea. besides, it's fun that way. or something.
[04:44] <Camden> and use vmware whenever i would have booted to win xp
[04:44] <riotkittie> macd: eww.
[04:44] <macd> riotkittie, I know right.
[04:44] <auTONYmous> Camden: probably not...If I'm not mistaken, the Dell XP installers look for a specific CPU ID that Intel sells to Dell only. They won't work on any other hardware
[04:44] <Camden> someone said dell may have sent me a "restore cd"
[04:44] <pigwrangler> is there a special font needed for LCD's?
[04:44] <Aggort> Why does ubuntu use Firefox 1.5?
[04:44] <LucianSolaris> so who likes the idea of an erotically large rsa keypair?
[04:44] <Camden> auTONYmous: but it IS the original hardware!
[04:44] <Flannel> Aggort: dapper does, edgy uses 2.0
[04:44] <Camden> auTONYmous: i dual boot now
[04:45] <Flannel> Aggort: major versions of software are frozen each release,
[04:45] <Camden> auTONYmous: i would like to wipe out the xp partition and replace it with vmware
[04:45] <auTONYmous> Camden: but it won't look that way to the XP install if you load it under VMware
[04:45] <kitche> dapper even has firefox 2
[04:45] <IntuitiveNipple> Lots of PC OEMs ship a 'restore' disk that contains a disk-image ala Norton Ghost, no a Windows CD
[04:45] <stinky> is anyone's installation slow if they're not connected to the internet?
[04:45] <LucianSolaris> kfine ignore me
[04:45] <riotkittie> ff2 is in the repos?
[04:45] <Aggort> Flannel: Can I upgrade to firefox 2.0 on dapper?
[04:45] <kitche> !backports
[04:45] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports
[04:45] <riotkittie> werd.
[04:46] <auTONYmous> Camden: It's always worth a try, but if it doesn't work, you know why
[04:46] <pigwrangler> kyncani: you know what package that is?
[04:46] <Camden> auTONYmous: what is the standard way of getting xp on vmware?
[04:46] <Aggort> Can I upgrade to firefox 2.0 on dapper
[04:46] <riotkittie> i dont think i like 2 tho. hm
[04:46] <kitche> Aggort: though backports
[04:46] <Aggort> kitche: Is it worth it?
[04:46] <auTONYmous> Camden: a standard Retail or Corporate XP Home/Pro disk
[04:47] <Camden> auTONYmous: do i have any chance of getting that from dell?
[04:47] <riotkittie> Camden: no.
[04:47] <auTONYmous> Camden: the cd's that Dell, HP, and others give out are called OEM disks, with a bunch of OEM locks on them.
[04:47] <Rappermas> is it possible to reinstall GRUB with the edgy install cd if you, say, wipe GRUB away?
[04:48] <Aggort> OK one last thing, where can I get some more Apps?
[04:48] <riotkittie> Rappermas: yes. i /think/ you pop the cd in and 'sudo grub-install' at a term
[04:48] <riotkittie> i had to do it a few days ago when i hosed GRUB with a zen install
[04:48] <pingswept> How can I switch from the 2.6.20-4-386 kernel to 2.6.20-4-generic? I have both installed, but I don't know how they are selected.
[04:48] <Rappermas> riotkittie: i assume i'd use the repair mode
[04:48] <Camden> would it be possible from someone to hack a solution that would somehow read the OEM OS off of the xp partition and move it into vmware on the linux partition??
[04:48] <auTONYmous> Camden: BUT, if you have a reinstall cd, then there's a chance that the cd's load process _may not_ check your hardware IDs
[04:48] <Rappermas> but then it's just grub-install
[04:48] <Rappermas> see i need to make sure
[04:48] <Rappermas> cuz i blew away my XP install on my dual
[04:48] <Aggort>  OK one last thing, where can I get some more Apps?
[04:48] <Rappermas> and i want to put Vista on there
[04:48] <Rappermas> just for the thrill of it
[04:49] <stinky> anyone know why ubuntu would run slow if it wasn't connected to the internet?
[04:49] <Rappermas> but I'm NOT about to lose an entire Linux install
[04:49] <riotkittie> hm. try 'man grub' just to be on the safe side :P
[04:49] <Rappermas> lol
[04:49] <Rappermas> i'd have to see
[04:49] <Rappermas> i think i'll just pop in the cd and see what it gives me
[04:49] <Rappermas> it's worth the shot at least
[04:49] <cafuego> Rappermas: Just run it virtualised under linux *snort*
[04:49] <riotkittie> oh man. it took me NINE hours to get back into ubuntu after that ;/
[04:49] <Rappermas> i'm a gamer, unfortunately
[04:49] <Rappermas> well kind of
[04:49] <Rappermas> more of a programmer
[04:49] <auTONYmous> Camden: There IS a way, that requires having two computers and cloning the XP install across the network...VMware has a disk for it, but I'm still not sure it would boot.
[04:49] <Rappermas> but I like to get a fair share of HL2 and whatnot now and then
[04:50] <cafuego> What you want a scary eyecandy cpu-munch-o-matic OS for then?
[04:50] <Rappermas> vmware is great
[04:50] <Rappermas> as soon as it supports 3d it will be amazing
[04:50] <compsman> i need a music player that will play wma and mp3
[04:50] <Rappermas> i'm talking opengl 3d here
[04:50] <Rappermas> but yeah, this is need to investigate
[04:50] <riotkittie> the day any MS is "amazing" is the day i am suddenly an ungodly hot chick
[04:50] <riotkittie> it's not happening
[04:51] <Rappermas> I'm pretty sure that Vista won't have wireless drivers for my card, unlike Ubuntu did, but then, what does Vista come with drivers for anyways?  The numlock key ?
[04:51] <cafuego> auTONYmous: install driver for new controller first, THEN move disk.
[04:51] <pomalley> Rappermas: hey dude, the numlock key is important.
[04:51] <auTONYmous> cafuego: which requires loading VMware Tools on the XP install first...
[04:51] <Rappermas> riotkittie: vmware is going to be amazing
[04:51] <toothpick> Democracy isn't working for me
[04:51] <riotkittie> hehe
[04:51] <amicrawler> is there any real  ubuntu  geeks in her
[04:51] <Rappermas> vmware is going to kick some serious...
[04:52] <owh> I have a client with a crashing OO.o. It only happens when they have the Auto Filter turned on. I find no bugs that look anything like it either on launchpad, or on the oo.o site. Any suggestions of things to investigate?
[04:52] <cafuego> toothpick: Yeah. Go tyrant. far easier.
[04:52] <compsman> i want xmms to play wma
[04:52] <Rappermas> alright, i need to try this and make sure that i can recover grub when vista decides to overwrite it
[04:52] <Rappermas> later
[04:52] <Rappermas> quit
[04:52] <Rappermas> darn
[04:52] <owh> amicrawler: Well, I'm a geek and I use Ubuntu, what is your challenge?
[04:52] <diskus_> amicrawler: probably not, why do you need real ubuntu geek?
[04:52] <amicrawler> my nvida card
[04:52] <owh> Sigh.
[04:52] <metres> Hi guys, I have problem trying to sign my package (using sudo debuild -S -sa -kD60EF9F8)... I got this : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/905/
[04:53] <Camden> ffmpeg crashed
[04:53] <Camden> when i tried .wmv to .vob
[04:53] <owh> amicrawler: You should look at the forums. There are many suggestions on how to manage the installation and configuration.
[04:53] <amicrawler> glx-gears  go slow then it suddders
[04:53] <cafuego> Camden: yay
[04:53] <amicrawler> i install and enabled
[04:54] <riotkittie> did you make any changes to xorg.conf?
[04:54] <amicrawler> no
[04:54] <old-monk> metres: seems your gpg key is protected with a passphrase
[04:54] <amicrawler> i got 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV36.4 [GeForce FX 5700VE]  (rev a1)
[04:54] <Camden> now kino is importing the .avi file, but that is extremely slow
[04:55] <metres> old-monk : I write it... i just create the key...
[04:55] <Camden> it is a 4 hour long video
[04:55] <JAnYou> [Help] The `Dictionary' application in my Ubuntu is not working. Whenever I start to look up a work, and input the word in the query form, it runs into no response, and the panel is earased!
[04:55] <metres> it bugs before...
[04:55] <Camden> i tested the import on a smaller .wmv -> .avi
[04:55] <Camden> and it worked in kino
[04:55] <Camden> so i'll just see what happens
[04:55] <old-monk> metres: check debuild to see how to use passphrase of gpg key
[04:55] <owh> metres: There are good instructions in the launchpad help for that.
[04:56] <amicrawler> whats is aglx ?
[04:56] <Camden> uh oh
[04:56] <owh> amicrawler: A way of drawing graphics off-screen in a buffer.
[04:56] <Camden> it looks like Kino is for some reason making a copy of the huge .avi file
[04:56] <amicrawler> owh  what do i do ?
[04:56] <Camden> i don't have enough space for that
[04:56] <amicrawler> i'v installed
[04:56] <amicrawler> the drivers and enabled it
[04:57] <Camden> is there any way of avoiding that?
[04:57] <owh> amicrawler: Does glxinfo actually show that it is enabled?
[04:57] <amicrawler> can i do that in the shell?
[04:57] <Camden> can i split up the avi file somehow?
[04:58] <Camden> and create mult. mpegs out of kino
[04:58] <Camden> then put them together on the dvd?
[04:58] <Hansel> Any apps/games I should have?  So far I've got Firefox, blender, audacity, openoffice, gimp, wormux, moagg, monkey-bubble and gaim.
[04:58] <owh> amicrawler: If you look in the Ubuntu forums you'll see a whole host of pages about the subject including step for step instructions.
[04:58] <madadh_> so I did the following command sudo dpkg --force-architecture -i wine_0.9.28~winehq0~ubuntu~6.06-1_i386.deb and now I'd rather use version 9.27 is there an easy to install the older version but keep my config
[04:58] <theflyingfool> has anyone gotten roseta stone working on edgy via wine or anything else
[04:58] <variant> theflyingfool: what is it?
[04:59] <theflyingfool> a language learning program
[04:59] <amicrawler> 3d accelerator   unknow
[04:59] <variant> theflyingfool: does it do swedish? :)
[04:59] <xerophyte> Open office does not open the ms word doc good .. i mean tables come as image .. is there way i can fix that??
[04:59] <theflyingfool> it does do swedish actually
[04:59] <variant> amicrawler: sudo update-pciids
[04:59] <variant> theflyingfool: cool
[04:59] <Naik0> Hello mates, iam a little bit of a newbie on linux but i really starting to learn some things here, now i want to set my resolution to "1600 x 1024" i know i can have that because when i was using gnome i had that.
[04:59] <variant> theflyingfool: im learning
[05:00] <theflyingfool> every langauge is over priced but there are some easy ways to get it free...
[05:00] <Naik0> when i write xrandr it says iam using 1280 x 1024 and that is the largest
[05:00] <madadh_> xerophyte, it really depends on how the word document was made - but no you don't really have control over that as far as I know
[05:00] <amicrawler> ok donw
[05:00] <variant> theflyingfool: like always
[05:00] <amicrawler> done
[05:00] <metres> owh : I dont see any help section in launchpad...
[05:00] <theflyingfool> does wine have an irc channel?
[05:00] <variant> does anyone know if launchpad is still closed source?
[05:00] <yoshiznit123> Naik0, you can always add it to the end of the list as a resolution in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:01] <owh> metres: One mo, I'll find a URL for you...
  what did i just do ?
[05:01] <variant> amicrawler: you updated the list of pci id's that lspci uses
[05:01] <sdgr406> Naiko - using ubuntu w/gnome? maybe System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution
[05:01] <variant> amicrawler: run lspci again
[05:02] <yoshiznit123> variant, and yes i think it's still closed
[05:02] <madadh_> theflyingfool, http://winehq.com/site/irc
[05:02] <Naik0> yoshiznit123: i open xorg.conf now and i see alots of resolutions with differents depth values..
[05:02] <variant> yoshiznit123: that sucks
[05:02] <amicrawler> ok i di
[05:02] <amicrawler> did
[05:02] <verdRousseau> I installed KdE then uninstalled it however when I am loading my comp up it still says Kubuntu how do I get rid of this
[05:02] <Naik0> 6 Subsections with resolutions
[05:02] <owh> metres: Do you have a launchpad account? The help shows up when you want to add an OpenPGP key.
[05:02] <yoshiznit123> Naik0, you can add it to the end of each one which should work, make sure you follow the same format though and back it up just in case
[05:02] <Naik0> ah ok
[05:02] <Naik0> thanks yoshiznit123
[05:03] <metres> owh : yes I done that
[05:03] <amicrawler> ok just did
[05:03] <owh> metres: What I mean is that the help is there...
[05:03] <kyncani> !fixres > Naik0
[05:03] <jerp_> verdRousseau, is it the splash screen?
[05:03] <verdRousseau> jerp not sure I understand what you are asking
[05:03] <verdRousseau> not the sign in screen
[05:03] <verdRousseau> but the loading screen
[05:03] <jerp_> the big colored screen when booting
[05:03] <verdRousseau> yes
[05:03] <metres> owh : No I have the right password... the error is elsewhere...
[05:03] <owh> metres: Sorry, my bad. The help just points the way :-)  -- man gpg is your friend :-)
[05:04] <verdRousseau> jerp-with the loading bar
[05:04] <jerp_> it's just like wallpaper, it can be changed
[05:04] <pomalley> auTONYmous: still here? i installed it using a folder on my ext3 for the virtual machines, and it works--i can load up the vm i have on my fat32
[05:04] <owh> metres: You can make gpg remember the passphrase for a little while.
[05:04] <verdRousseau> jerp- how do you change it
[05:04] <Naik0> !fixres > Naik0
[05:04] <madadh_> verdRousseau, ya I have that too just didn't care enough to find a fix
[05:04] <pomalley> guess not
[05:05] <metres> owh : in seahorse ?
[05:05] <pomalley> later folks
[05:05] <verdRousseau> so where do you go to change the wallper
[05:05] <owh> metres: Hold on for a tick...
[05:05] <metres> verdRousseau : right-click on the desktop...
[05:05] <variant> verdRousseau: right clieck desktop
[05:05] <bert> hey all, I've got a problem playing media in edgy off a Samba share which is also running Edgy. I can see the files, I can copy the files to my desktop and they work fine, I just cannot play them. I get a message about buffering the file and then nothing. This happens with audio and video files. Has anyone had this problem before?
[05:06] <jerp_> verdRousseau, I'm not the whizz to post three lines and a your welcoem at the end,  I'm a newb but I do know it can be changed and I know the abilities of google
[05:06] <verdRousseau> alright thanks
[05:06] <verdRousseau> so you say that screen is called the splash screen
[05:06] <madadh_> bert, which program are you using
[05:06] <magic_ninja> !xvmc
[05:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xvmc - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:07] <sdgr406> bert: I'm pretty sure I had a similar problem when using audacious... dunno if it supports samba shares. you might be better off using NFS
[05:07] <adub> what if i cant remember my irc password for freenode ??
[05:07] <jerp_> verd, yeah, is it before or after the login?
[05:07] <bert> madadh: Totem and xmms for audo
[05:07] <verdRousseau> before
[05:07] <owh> metres: Hmm: http://lists.gnupg.org/pipermail/gnupg-devel/2005-August/022279.html
[05:07] <Camden> i can't believe the size of this .avi file - 78GB+
[05:07] <metres> thanks owh
[05:07] <Camden> no way to split it?
[05:07] <variant> magic_ninja: try amarok for audio. excellent if you have a lot of music
[05:08] <overridex> bert: it works if you mount the samba share as a drive on your system
[05:08] <madadh_> bert, I've had good luck with totem for audio over samba - amarok hates samba
[05:08] <bert> sdgr406: It worked a week ago (last time I was on the machine), then it stopped. Maybe an update killed it? My xbox running xbmc still works fine pulling files from the same samba server
[05:09] <Camden> or i could have maybe generated DV instead of AVI from mencoder?
[05:09] <eXcentra> Does anybody know how to configure NetworkManager (nm-applet) so that it connects to a specific network first?
[05:09] <Camden> i think kino will use the DV files directly instead of making new files
[05:09] <variant> madadh_: http://amarok.kde.org/amarokwiki/index.php/Samba this is a good solution to amarok/samba woes
[05:09] <prisoner1> quick question. how do I stop jigit?
[05:10] <inveratulo> what is jigit
[05:10] <Hansel> how can i get xchat to stop me from autojoining this channel whenever I open it?
[05:10] <bert> overridex: I haven't tried that, I'm just confused as to why it suddenly stopped
[05:10] <prisoner1> it's something that's supposed to download quicker
[05:10] <prisoner1> it's in the ubuntu repos
[05:10] <toulouse> join #rockbox
[05:10] <toulouse> crap
[05:10] <Hansel> toulouse:  dont spam
[05:11] <toulouse> no
[05:11] <Hansel> yes
[05:11] <toulouse> i was trying to type and join it
[05:11] <toulouse> sorry
[05:11] <owh> toulouse: Wrong window :-)
[05:11] <toulouse> i missed the slash
[05:11] <overridex> bert: not sure, it never worked for me
[05:11] <toulouse> lol
[05:11] <toulouse> it's not spam lol
[05:11] <eXcentra> Hansel, go to XChat > Network List. Find the server in the list, click Edit. Then, remove the channel from the "Channels to join" list.
[05:12] <IntuitiveNipple> Is this a bug? Edgy with Gnome, when I go to System>Preferences>Sound, on the Sounds tab the "Default sound card" shows "USB Camera" even though I keep changing it, and as far as I can tell is being used for sound output (ALSA tests work on the Devices tab)
[05:12] <verdRousseau> for soem reason I cant get to the filesystem of my comp( when I click on file system it only has a link to home and media)
[05:12] <KillerT> what is the next ubuntu codename? or version #
[05:12] <IntuitiveNipple> Feisty Fawn
[05:12] <KillerT> thnx
[05:13] <sdgr406> anyone know why I can burn a dvd from command line using growisofs but nautilus-cd-burner or brasero eject the disc and tell me to insert a recordable disc?
[05:13] <Anubuntu> Hello
[05:13] <HentaiSushi> lol
[05:13] <HentaiSushi> ubuntu ftw
[05:14] <cstyve2> riotkittie: Got my edgy eft up and running....
[05:14] <Anubuntu> wondering if someone can help me with rar files in Edgy?
[05:14] <naik0> Hey in fluxbox why isnt my wallpaper saved when i restart X?
[05:14] <riotkittie> cstyve2, cool, glad to hear it
[05:14] <HentaiSushi> er i dont use rar files so i dont know, sorry :(
[05:14] <naik0> everytime i restart X my wallpaper disiperars
[05:14] <owh> Anubuntu: If you search in the help you'll find a comment on how to open them :-)
[05:14] <cstyve2> riotkittie: I tell ya...if you efer turn on remote login it's a pain to turn off if you don't do it correctly.
[05:14] <Anubuntu> owh: Which help exactly?
[05:15] <riotkittie> cstyve2,  i'll keep that in mind ;)
[05:15] <riotkittie> brb. need coffee in large quantities
[05:15] <eXcentra> Does anybody know how to configure NetworkManager (nm-applet) so that it connects to a specific network first (at logon)?
[05:15] <cstyve2> Anyone know where I can via Unichrome drivers for edgy eft
[05:15] <owh> Anubuntu: Hmm, that was a bit of a bum steer wasn't it. I didn't find it either :-)
[05:15] <theflyingfool> what are the programs to run windows programs i know wine and crossover office are there any others
[05:15] <owh> Anubuntu: Hold on for a tick...
[05:16] <sdgr406> Anubuntu: what's the question about rar files?
[05:16] <verdRousseau> im not sure if the splash is what I am trying to change afterall, before you even get to the login screen ubuntu loads up with a loading bar
[05:16] <verdRousseau> how would I go about changing that
[05:16] <IntuitiveNipple> sounds like the GRUB splash (the bootloader)
[05:16] <Anubuntu> owh: actually, I just found it, quick search for rar on ubuntuguide.org.... sudo apt-get install rar
[05:17] <cstyve2> riotkittie: turn on machine..ctrl-alt-bksp many times to force xserver to crash...restart xserver then if your lucky you can get access to login administration...10 tries before it worked....
[05:17] <Anubuntu> now why didnt I think of trying that before...
[05:17] <sdgr406> verdRousseau: you mean just after POST and before gdm loads? the bootsplash?
[05:17] <owh> Yup, that's what I did with apt-cache search rar ;) Anubuntu
[05:17] <craigbass1976> How come when I apt-get remove apache, the /etc/init.d/apache isn't removed?  When I remove it manually, as well as the files in /var/www/ things aren't put back when I apt-get install apache.
[05:17] <verdRousseau> after POsST?
[05:17] <verdRousseau> not sure what that is
[05:17] <verdRousseau> right after your bios loads
[05:17] <sdgr406> POST = power on self test, before the BIOS hands off to the OS
[05:17] <craigbass1976> Also, when I had it and apache2 both installed, I could run apache, but not apache2.
[05:17] <verdRousseau> yes sdgr
[05:17] <verdRousseau> I think thats it
[05:17] <owh> craigbass1976: You need to do an apt-get --purge remove apache to remove config files.
[05:18] <sdgr406> verdRousseau: the text 'Ubuntu' with a bar that scrolls across? that's the bootsplash
[05:18] <verdRousseau> okay thanks
[05:18] <craigbass1976> owh, I get "Package apache is not installed, so not removed" so do I have to install it and then run the purge command?
[05:19] <owh> craigbass1976: Yup.
[05:19] <jrib> craigbass1976: because apache depends on apache-common or something similar.  In any case it's a dependency taht is probably responsible for that
[05:19] <jerp_> verd, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=157897&page=3
[05:19] <owh> craigbass1976: If you want to also remove the automagic stuff, the command is: apt-get --purge autoremove apache
[05:20] <alankc> Sorry for the newbie question, but Im about to install ubuntu 6.10 i386. Im looking for the GUI interface.. should I chose "text mode", "OEM mode", or "comand-line"? Again, sry for the newbie question ;p
[05:20] <jerp_> verd, click that link the person offers
[05:20] <noelferreira> hi people. need help installing vdr? anyone?
[05:20] <owh> alankc: You are likely not using the standard installation CD.
[05:20] <Hansel> how do I get xchat-gnome to NOT join this channel on connect?
[05:20] <alankc> oh?
[05:21] <craigbass1976> owh, Ahh. Very nice.
[05:21] <riotkittie> Hansel, X-Chat > Network   ... find freenode. click edit
[05:21] <owh> alankc: There are three CD's that I know of, the normal one - a LIVECD that does the install. the alternate CD and the Server Edition.
[05:21] <alankc> so I want the live CD?
[05:21] <sdgr406> if you're using the livecd there's an 'install' icon on the desktop.. just click it
[05:21] <cstyve2> Does anyone know where I can get the via unichrome drivers for edgy eft
[05:21] <owh> craigbass1976: I always thought so.
[05:22] <riotkittie> alankc, probably ;p
[05:22] <Hansel> riotkittie - I think I have a different version or something... mine doesnt have that.  I go to Edit -> Preferences ->  Networks -> freenode -> it doesnt have any channels listed...
[05:22] <jakob> Can someone tell me how I create a ~/.myfolder directory?
[05:22] <alankc> lol, damn. Thanx for your help!
[05:22] <owh> alankc: Well, it will give you the simplest install. The alternate CD does a Debian-like install and doesn't give you a boot splash.
[05:22] <inveratulo> no boot splash!!
[05:22] <sdgr406> jakob: mkdir ~/.myfolder
[05:23] <owh> jakob: Open up Places, Home Dir, right click, create folder.
[05:23] <BrettMeister> Will the i386 desktop iso for ubuntu 6.10 install on a IBM Thinkpad R51?
[05:23] <alankc> owh: what do you mean by boot splash?
[05:23] <jakob> thanks sdgr406 and owh. :)
[05:23] <riotkittie> Hansel, ahh.
[05:23] <overridex> BrettMeister: it should :)
[05:23] <owh> alankc: It's a graphic boot screen, not just text scrolling past.
[05:24] <owh> jakob: Hmm, the right click should be File -> Create Folder...
[05:24] <craigbass1976> owh, is there something funny about apache2 in dapper?
[05:24] <owh> craigbass1976: Makes me laugh all the time, but other than that, no.
[05:24] <alankc> got ya.. lol, back to BitTorrent ;P
[05:24] <BrettMeister> overridex: I keep getting this: [DR-DOS]  A:\
[05:24] <craigbass1976> owh, what's that mean?
[05:24] <BrettMeister> What the heck?
[05:24] <owh> craigbass1976: That there is nothing funny about apache2, other than its name.
[05:25] <owh> craigbass1976: It just worked for me.
[05:25] <riotkittie> ooh. i miss ubuntu. <sniff>
[05:25] <overridex> BrettMeister: that's after you get the initial ubuntu boot loader?
[05:25] <owh> riotkittie: Well, that's simple to resolve.
[05:26] <craigbass1976> owh, Oh, I asked if there were something funny.  I get it. duh...
[05:26] <riotkittie> owh -- i know, i just need to reboot
[05:26] <owh> BrettMeister: You have a floppy disk in your drive.
[05:26] <owh> craigbass1976: It happens :-)
[05:26] <bert> alright I tried mounting my samba share and I  was getting an error and when I did a dmesg | tail I got message "smbfs: mount_data version<PHONE_NUMBER> is not supported"
[05:26] <riotkittie> but im playing a game with my husband and flash is so much faster under my other distro
[05:26] <BrettMeister> overridex: It just starts off with the Caldera thing.  It does the same thing when I try to boot gparted, too.
[05:26] <neighborlee> does anyone know why audacity causes weird st atic during playback of recorded audio ?..if I use 'aoss audacity',  the problem disappears , but why ? ;l))
[05:27] <BrettMeister> owh: Thanks, this model does not have a floppy drive.  :-/
[05:27] <owh> BrettMeister: Then you likely have a boot cd that's emulating a DOS floppy :)
[05:27] <craigbass1976> owh, so I guess I've got trouble... I do the purge on apache2, and things are left in /usr/sbin and /etc.  I remove them manually, and reinstall the app, and those things don't come back.
[05:28] <owh> craigbass1976: Before you start removing and purging, what does dpkg tell you that is installed?
[05:28] <BrettMeister> owh: Hmmm...well, this CD drive is one of those quick release ones.  Could that being doing it?
[05:28] <owh> BrettMeister: Not the drive itself, a CD in the drive.
[05:28] <JAAmon> west ringer
[05:28] <nn531> hey is there a way to make the program tabs in the bottom panel not so big?
[05:28] <sdgr406> bert: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/165
[05:29] <owh> craigbass1976: dpkg -l|grep ii|grep -i apache
[05:29] <sdgr406> bert: according to that link you're missing the smbfs package
[05:29] <BrettMeister> owh: Doe you think that I'm burning my ISO wrong?
[05:29] <bert> sdgr406: on the client machine I assume?
[05:29] <owh> nn531: Change the overall width of the applet.
[05:29] <sdgr406> bert: that would be my guess, yeah
[05:29] <owh> BrettMeister: What ISO are you burning?
[05:30] <nn531> owh: what? how do i do that?
[05:30] <BrettMeister> owh: i386-desktop-6.10
[05:30] <craigbass1976> owh, Ok.  thanks
[05:30] <owh> BrettMeister: Did you check the md5?
[05:30] <owh> nn531: Right click on it, select properties.
[05:30] <BrettMeister> owh: yup
[05:31] <nn531> owh: and then?
[05:31] <owh> BrettMeister: When you boot it, do you see a boot menu?
[05:31] <nn531> owh: unclick expand?
[05:31] <owh> nn531: That's the wrong place to right click :-)
[05:31] <nn531> aha
[05:31] <owh> nn531: On the place where the buttons appear.
[05:32] <BrettMeister> owh: Shows that it's cycling through the same Caldera boot that gparted and partition logic uses.
[05:32] <bert> sdg406: Brilliant, thanks
[05:32] <owh> BrettMeister: From memory you should see a menu that allows you to test the integrity of the disc.
[05:32] <owh> BrettMeister: Does it boot off any other CDs?
[05:33] <nn531> owh; ok well I clicked on the properties, then what
[05:33] <owh> nn531: Have a look around, it should become obvious :-)
[05:33] <BrettMeister> owh: Does the same thing with gparted and partition logic.  Comes to a point where it shows [DR-DOS]  A:\
[05:33] <owh> BrettMeister: Then you are not booting from where you think you are.
[05:33] <b14ck73425> hey does anyone know of any good accounting programs?
[05:34] <h3xis> b14ck73425, gnucash?
[05:34] <owh> nn531: Did you find it?
[05:34] <BrettMeister> owh: Okay
[05:34] <b14ck73425> is it integrated?
[05:34] <nn531> owh: i must be retarded, I clicked on the bar and then it only had two tabs up and then in the one tab it had like 3 options
[05:34] <h3xis> b14ck73425, not sure. if not, install it
[05:34] <wyld> what are oss and non-oss things?
[05:35] <h3xis> wyld, firefox is oss. internet explorer is non-oss.
[05:35] <BrettMeister> owh: Not sure what to do now.
[05:35] <owh> nn531: What is the title of the window?
[05:35] <b14ck73425> h3xis, ty
[05:35] <owh> BrettMeister: Check your BIOS settings.
[05:35] <nn531> owh: panel properties
[05:35] <wyld> ah
[05:35] <wyld> thanks
[05:36] <owh> nn531: It should say "Window List Preferences"
[05:36] <BrettMeister> owh: So you think that my CD drive is tricking the boot program?
[05:36] <owh> BrettMeister: Is the CD drive a USB drive?
[05:36] <BrettMeister> owh: Showing up like a floppy drive?
[05:36] <nn531> owh: no dice man, i click where the tab should be if it were open and I get panel properties
[05:36] <overridex> what program's good for desk applets? there's gdesklets, super karamba... anything else/
[05:36] <owh> nn531: On the bottom left of the screen is the show desk top button, next to it is a little set of dots. Right click there.
[05:37] <owh> BrettMeister: That's what I'm wondering.
[05:37] <BrettMeister> owh: The CD drive is one of those that are meant to be quickly dismounted and removed like you would do a thumb drive.
[05:37] <sdgr406> overridex: I've used gkrellm2 for a long time but it doesn't put applets directly on the desktop
[05:37] <overridex> sdgr406: yeah, i use gkrellm2 as well, but i'd like something nice for weather and an analog clock of sorts
[05:38] <nn531> owh: aha, thank you
[05:38] <owh> BrettMeister: You obviously have another computer lying around :-) Can you verify the disk before we spend too much time?
[05:38] <owh> nn531: :-)
[05:38] <sdgr406> overridex: you probably know that gkrellm2 has a weather plugin then?
[05:39] <BrettMeister> owh: I won't take up any more time tonight.  You have helped a lot already helping me think this through.
[05:39] <overridex> sdgr406: yeah but not what i'm looking for
[05:39] <__Mikem> Do you think ubuntu would make a good live cd to run in my computer class at school, or should I just hunt down a knoppix cd?
[05:39] <owh> BrettMeister: Cool, enjoy.
[05:39] <owh> __Mikem: To do what with?
[05:39] <BrettMeister> owh: Thanks for the effort.  I appreciate it.
[05:40] <sdgr406> overridex: yeah, I kinda stopped using it once I found forecastfox
[05:40] <owh> BrettMeister: Happy to help.
[05:40] <__Mikem> owh, to run in a computer lab with relatively old computers at my school
[05:40] <Aggort> Why would my internet be runnign so slow on Ubuntu?
[05:40] <owh> __Mikem: Well, old computers *may* run the Ubuntu CD, but there are other LiveCD's around that would work better. Have a google :-)
[05:41] <owh> Aggort: Because we're monitoring everything you do :-)
[05:41] <owh> Aggort: Just kidding.
[05:41] <Aggort> owh: LOL, no seriosuly google jsut took 15 seconds

[05:41] <__Mikem> chaw
[05:41] <Aggort> I am on broadband
[05:41] <owh> Aggort: So am I, but is it wired or wireless?

[05:42] <tamacreacker> im gettin this when i click start on my airsnort: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/909/
[05:42] <owh> Aggort: Is the computer you are running Ubuntu on connected wirelessly to the net or not?

[05:55] <Balsamic_Chicken> sdgr406 am i supposed to do ./configure somewhere, or a makefile?
[05:55] <sdgr406> Balsamic_Chicken: ugh.. makefiles
[05:55] <sdgr406> Balsamic_Chicken: you'll need to make sure you have a compiler and development libraries installed... perhaps check wine installation documentation for specifics
[05:55] <b_e_l> Balsamic_Chicken:use the synaptic tool... theres[
[05:55] <b_e_l> a pakage for wine there
[05:55] <Balsamic_Chicken> kk
[05:56] <Aggort> Any more dieas why it might be so slow?
[05:56] <Balsamic_Chicken> bel: yeah i wanted the newer version plus i wanted to try out the .bz2 file
[05:56] <KMWARREN> http://kmwarren.imarichkid.hop.clickbank.net
[05:56] <funkdollar> hello folks
[05:57] <Kahr> I have trouble specifiying a default kernel to load in grub, am I doing it right? http://rafb.net/p/w44Rs629.html
[05:57] <wluz> how can I make my linksys wpc300-n v1 wireless notebook adapter work with ubuntu? It doesn't show up in 'Networking' menu
[05:58] <GigaClon> did you check the ndiswrapper wiki, wluz
[05:58] <Siixa> im getting some weird errors such as apt-get --fix-broken
[05:58] <Siixa> oops wrong one
[05:58] <Siixa> OAFIID:GNOME_Panel_TrashApplet ubuntu
[05:58] <Siixa> anyone know?
[05:58] <funkdollar> i made a mistake and erased some system icons - how do i fix this and locate the broken packages ?
[05:59] <wluz> I cant find ndiswrapper in syanptec, do I have to add a repository?
[05:59] <jevangelo> in edgy server, i have weird things in fstab
[05:59] <BlenderKitty> seriously, has ANYone in here had any luck with Bluetooth in ubuntu?
[05:59] <sdgr406> jevangelo: that's normal
[05:59] <jevangelo> it commented out device paths and put UUIDs in
[05:59] <abhinay> fsck is checking all filesystems on every booting , how to disable it ?
[05:59] <jinx099> BlenderKitty: no, but I havent tried too hard to fix it
[05:59] <GigaClon> check the Ubuntu wiki for "Wireless Networking"
[06:00] <Glod> morning
[06:00] <bulmer> abhinay: check your /etc/fstab
[06:00] <Aggort> I still cannot figure out why my internet is so slow
[06:00] <bulmer> column 5 or 6 i believe
[06:00] <GigaClon> are you sharing it with someone else?
[06:00] <tamacreacker> im gettin this when i click start on Airsnort: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/910/
[06:00] <Aggort> gigaclon: Besides myself  no
[06:01] <jinx099> Aggort: maybe its your ISP...
[06:01] <GigaClon> it might just be your service
[06:01] <doofy2> do most people prefer gtkpod for syncing with an ipod?
[06:01] <jevangelo> sdgr406:  is that becuase its a new udev version than im used to?
[06:01] <bulmer> Aggort: have you google for this topic yet?
[06:01] <Siixa> im getting some weird errors such as OAFIID:GNOME_Panel_TrashApplet ubuntu, anyone know?
[06:01] <abhinay> bulmer, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/911/   <  /etc/fstab
[06:01] <Aggort> jinf099: XP works fine
[06:01] <sdgr406> jevangelo: not sure of the reasoning, but it's not very user friendly or intuitive to look at
[06:01] <Aggort> bulmer: I couldn;t find anything
[06:01] <GigaClon> doofy2, i do
[06:01] <wluz> GigaClon: I am new to all this, I don't know how to fill out this command - linux-headers-`uname -r`
[06:01] <Aggort> I ahve 3 dns servers and a dozen hosts
[06:02] <Bruco16> my splash screen is not loading at boot time although the "splash" option is passed to the kernel... we'd like to feel the system is not freezing ^^
[06:02] <Aggort> any more guesses?
[06:02] <meistercobbman> .
[06:02] <Bruco16> i tries removing the quiet option passed to the kernel in grub, but it's editor just won't make the job :(
[06:02] <abhinay> bulmer, ?
[06:02] <Bruco16> the entries are kinda locked
[06:02] <sdgr406> wluz: those special quotes run the command 'uname -r' and insert the output at the end of linux-headers-
[06:03] <BlenderKitty> Is Intel Core 2 Duo considered 64bit?
[06:03] <GigaClon> wluz uname -r gives you the kernel version of your system
[06:03] <funkdollar> folks any ideas about how to fix the problem of deleting some gnome icons accidentally ?
[06:03] <jinx099> BlenderKitty: yes
[06:03] <BlenderKitty> jinx099: so I should be downloading a 64 bit image of xubuntu?
[06:03] <Bruco16> funkdollar: reinstall an icon pack
[06:03] <seventypercent> I'm getting about 3.5 KB/s to us.archive.ubuntu.com -- is it just loaded down tonight?
[06:03] <jinx099> BlenderKitty: If you want a 64 bit OS, then yeah, but you can run the regular 32 bit version fine
[06:03] <funkdollar> i mean i unfortunately dont know the package names of specific deleted icons and i am trying to figure out a way to reinstall things
[06:04] <bulmer> abhinay: man fstab and look for column 6
[06:04] <Bruco16> hum
[06:04] <jinx099> BlenderKitty: Some stuff might not work quite right in the 64 bit install though, so beware
[06:04] <Siixa> OAFIID:GNOME_Panel_TrashApplet
[06:04] <BlenderKitty> jinx099: if I install the 64 bit version, do I have less programs to choose from, or are the repos the same?
[06:04] <funkdollar> is there any force option to reinstall ubuntu-desktop on top ?
[06:04] <Siixa> anyone know what that is
[06:04] <Bruco16> funkdollar: there's no packages on ubuntu server?
[06:05] <dogmeat> how do i view my floppy drive?
[06:05] <dogmeat> view the contents of the floppy?
[06:05] <Glod> anyone here, who can help me with updating grub? i copied my ubuntu partition to another harddrive and cant use the livecd to update grub on the new disc, because my cdrom is broken
[06:05] <Bruco16> dogmeat: is the device mounted?
[06:05] <bulmer> what format is in your floppy drives? fat?
[06:05] <b_e_l> dogmeat: mount/
[06:05] <b_e_l> it
[06:05] <jinx099> BlenderKitty: You'll probly have the same amount of programs, but certain things may not work, or you may have to jump through hoops to get working
[06:05] <abhinay> bulmer, yup ! the sixth field should be zero to avoid fsck
[06:05] <funkdollar> there are but the problem is as follows : some icons have been accidentally deleted - the packages owning those are unknown to me. And now i see ugly icons in some gnome menus. I ve read the docs of dpkg and apt-get ...
[06:05] <abhinay> bulmer, thank you
[06:05] <GigaClon> wluz, search this wiki with your card name http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page
[06:05] <jinx099> BlenderKitty: like flash and stuff
[06:06] <phEight> hey guys, i'm not sure what i did but i installed networkmanager to handle my wifi, however i did something and it is no longer physcially appearing in my toolbar.. how can i get that back? i nkow it's running because sometimes the bubble pops up saying succesfully connected but that bubble just appears on the top of the screen when my toolbar is on the bottom
[06:06] <BlenderKitty> jinx099: ok, I'm just going to do 32bit for now then
[06:06] <dogmeat> device is not mounted, type is msdos
[06:06] <funkdollar> but there seems not to be a way to find out which packages are not installed correctly ie have missing files
[06:06] <nn531> stupid ohio state
[06:06] <jinx099> BlenderKitty: That is a wise choice, most apps are not optimized for 64 bit yet anyway, so the performance gains are minimal
[06:07] <wluz> GigaClon: It says it is a virtual  package and that I should explcitly select one, but when I try to it just keeps giving me that message "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-2.6.17-10-generic <IP_ADDRESS>-10.34"
[06:07] <bulmer> dogmeat: try the "m" commands  like mdir mtype
[06:07] <jinx099> BlenderKitty: You installing edgy or dapper?
[06:07] <funkdollar> phEight, is your notification area visible ?
[06:07] <BlenderKitty> dapper
[06:07] <Bruco16> dogmeat: you could mount it to /mnt (from a rcS.d script too)
[06:07] <BlenderKitty> jinx099: xubuntu, to be precise
[06:07] <phEight> funkdollar: i'm not sure what you by notification area
[06:07] <phEight> what you mean*
[06:08] <jinx099> BlenderKitty: With dapper, your cdrom may or may not work, also be sure you install the SMP kernel when its set up
[06:08] <Bruco16> anyone knows why i can't change grub's entries?
[06:08] <BlenderKitty> jinx099: whats SMP?
[06:08] <funkdollar> phEight, well if you right click on a panel you can insert an item called the notification area - it must be there by default
[06:08] <rjian> ie guys anyone... i need your help.. i want to put the logo of UBuntu on organization any suggestion...??
[06:08] <chotchki> hey guys im trying to install a edgy server but the installer seems to hang when i try to setup the software raid (it clams it cant see the setup partitions) does anyone know of a workaround?
[06:08] <GigaClon> wluz check that page I sent you it should have everything you need for wireless, I can't help beyond that
[06:08] <jinx099> BlenderKitty: SMP enables both cores
[06:08] <GOATSLAYER> hey guys does anyone know of a RSS desklet that can feed to my desktop? Thanks!
[06:08] <BlenderKitty> jinx099: nice!
[06:08] <phEight> ah genius
[06:08] <phEight> hehe
[06:08] <b_e_l> dogmeat: mount /dev/fd0 -t vfat /mnt/floppy
[06:08] <funkdollar> Bruco16, grub-install /dev/hda or hdb or ...
[06:08] <phEight> thanks funkdollar, appreciate it much
[06:09] <jinx099> BlenderKitty: What motherboard do you have?  (I have a C2D also)
[06:09] <bulmer> Bruco16: you are root or sudo'ed to root when modifying your menu.lst ?
[06:09] <BlenderKitty> jinx099: good question. I'm not sure. I'm on a thinkpad.
[06:09] <b_e_l> the cd to that dir and  ls
[06:09] <Flannel> jinx099, BlenderKitty, in dapper there is no "SMP" kernel, theyre both in the same kernel
[06:09] <BlenderKitty> Flannel: so I already have it?
[06:09] <Bruco16> bulmer: no, i edit it from the very beginning of the boot process
[06:09] <jinx099> Flannel: You mean edgy right?
[06:09] <Bruco16> (grub's editor)
[06:09] <Flannel> jinx099: no, dapper.  As of edgy there's no more 386/686/etc kernels, but as of Dapper there's no -smp specific kernels
[06:10] <giokim> i am trying to install flashplayer but when i do i get this error message : ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the  Macromedia Flash Player installer. does this mean there is no way for me to install it?
[06:10] <di||itante> funkdollar, try #apt-get --reinstall install packagename
[06:10] <BlenderKitty> wait, what the hell am I saying. I'm running the latest xubuntu.
[06:10] <bulmer> Bruco16: is it password protected?
[06:10] <bean__> hey guys, sorry for the kinda off-topic question here, but does anyone know how to interface plain old C code to GNU Octave?
[06:10] <Bruco16> bulmer: "of course from mennu.lst";; thx a lot lol
[06:10] <Flannel> BlenderKitty: Edgy?  Then you already have the -generic kernel, which does include SMP support
[06:10] <jinx099> Flannel: I remember having to install the SMP kernel, but maybe it just pointed to the 686 kernel
[06:10] <bean__> i tried asking in #octave and #math but to no avail
[06:10] <BlenderKitty> Flannel: cool, thanks.
[06:10] <Bruco16> bulmer: not passwd protd
[06:11] <Bruco16> bulmer: i have full root access + sudoing
[06:11] <bulmer> Bruco16: am not understanding, you can not edit your menu.lst file?
[06:11] <jinx099> BlenderKitty: At any rate, be sure you have see SMP when you do a 'uname -a' when you're up and running
[06:11] <funkdollar> di||itante, the problem is the packagename here - i dont know which ones lost files
[06:11] <BlenderKitty> jinx099: I will check now
[06:12] <BlenderKitty> jinx099: ok, its there
[06:12] <funkdollar> well i ll try this on the whole ubuntu desktop i guess
[06:12] <Bruco16> bulmer: i tried to edit it from grub, but you told me to edit it from the started OS
[06:12] <giokim> i am trying to install flashplayer but when i do i get this error message : ERROR: Your architecture, \'x86_64\', is not supported by the  Macromedia Flash Player installer. can anyone help me?
[06:12] <Bruco16> so there shouldn't be an editor in grub if it's useless
[06:12] <bulmer> Bruco16: thats because I was confused as to where you were when trying to edit
[06:13] <Bou> I get a "mode not supported" error when i try to run ubuntu. help please?
[06:13] <kitche> giokim: you have to use a wrapper only way
[06:13] <Bruco16> i needed to rescue my system since i remove chkroot.sh from rcS.d to gain boot time
[06:13] <BlenderKitty> Now here's another question - my screen goes blank when I go to adjust the brightness. And it doesn't come back! Can I fix this?
[06:13] <BlenderKitty> I'm on a thinkpad
[06:13] <Glod> giokim: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=327162
[06:13] <BlenderKitty> h3xis: yes, we spoke last night. :)
[06:13] <h3xis> haha
[06:13] <h3xis> BlenderKitty, however i dont have that problem
[06:13] <Bruco16> the entry was read-only and i wanted to change it to read-write
[06:13] <h3xis> :/
[06:13] <di||itante> funkdollar, you could do that, "ubuntu-desktop"
[06:14] <GOATSLAYER> hey guys does anyone know of a RSS desklet that can feed to my desktop? Thanks!
[06:14] <Bou> I get a "mode not supported" error when i try to run ubuntu. help please?
[06:14] <metal03> Hi guys, small question...  I run Edgy64 and I'm downloading video codecs...  but I have no idea what the choises I'm offered mean ( [ CH | HU | US | RS | KR ]  )???  Anyone knows?
[06:14] <Bruco16> the rescue mode was always in readonly even grub-changed
[06:14] <BlenderKitty> h3xis: wtf
[06:14] <bulmer> Bruco16: thats going to be tuff, those buggers modify, a bit difficult to recover
[06:14] <Bou> China, hungary, US, russia and korea
[06:14] <h3xis> metal03, choose US
[06:14] <Glod> ch=swiss, hu=hungarian, us=american english etc
[06:14] <metal03> kk
[06:14] <metal03> thanks
[06:14] <Bruco16> (i couldn,t access menu.lst from os since it couldn't start ^^)
[06:14] <Bou>  get a "mode not supported" error when i try to run ubuntu. help please?
[06:14] <BlenderKitty> h3xis: how can I tell if I have power management running?
[06:15] <metal03> Glod : hehehe!!  That simple!
[06:15] <Aggort> Hey I diasbled ipV6 and now it's fast as shit, thanks
[06:15] <h3xis> BlenderKitty, youve got it running
[06:15] <BlenderKitty> h3xis: automatic?
[06:15] <verdRousseau> i am trying to install this login window and it says to drop it into the gdmsetup tool
[06:15] <verdRousseau> where is that?
[06:15] <h3xis> BlenderKitty, it's just built in
[06:15] <bulmer> Bruco16: boot using liveCD and then mount your drive and recover it that way
[06:15] <BlenderKitty> h3xis: thats good. how about hard disk protection?
[06:15] <Bruco16> bulmer: is chkroot.sh and chkfs.sh really necessary at boot time?
[06:15] <hype> http://kmwarren.imarichkid.hop.clickbank.net
[06:16] <Bruco16> bulmer: that's what i finally did
[06:16] <bulmer> Bruco16: I dont know they even exist as part of the boot scripts..
[06:16] <h3xis> BlenderKitty, that im not sure. i run a custom built kernel (<IP_ADDRESS>) and inside of the configuration you can specify the active hard disk protection, as i have done, however knowing you run ubuntu on a stock kernel i doubt you have it
[06:16] <Bruco16> bulmer: yeah, in /etc/rcS.d i think
[06:16] <Glod> oh...ch is china?^^
[06:16] <BlenderKitty> h3xis: crap
[06:16] <Bruco16> bulmer: or in /etc/init.d/
[06:16] <metal03> Glod : I still clicked on US
[06:16] <Bruco16> i thought it was wasting time
[06:17] <bulmer> Bruco16: i dont know, anyhow, from liveCD you're attempting to recover?
[06:17] <Bhaskar> h3xis: i delete FAT data from ubuntu, how can i recover??
[06:17] <Glod> i think ch would be a bit too confusing^^
[06:17] <Bou-kun> I get a "mode not supported" error when i try to run ubuntu. help please?
[06:17] <verdRousseau> anyone know where the gdmsetup tool is
[06:17] <wluz> I get a whole string of errors when trying to do "make install" in ndiswrapper-1.34, culminating in "make[1]  : *** [loadndisdriver]  Error 1" and Error 2.  Anyone know what that means?
[06:18] <Bruco16> bulmer: i already recovered from the changes. I wanted to make my system put the splash screen on, or at least quit the quiet mode
[06:18] <BlenderKitty> h3xis: how can I check to see that power management is indeed running?
[06:18] <BlenderKitty> h3xis: my battery seems to drain a lot faster than in windows
[06:18] <Bruco16> bulmer: i also tried recompiling another new kernel, but i'm a newby still hug^^
[06:18] <bulmer> Bruco16: okay..me too am always a newbie
[06:18] <h3xis> BlenderKitty, ermmmm my guess would be to run top in terminal and look around for the acpi daemon or whatever it's called
[06:19] <Bruco16> bulmer: :) i want that my sister doesn't feel like her system is freezing at boot time
[06:19] <Bou-kun> I get a "mode not supported" error when i try to run ubuntu. help please?
[06:19] <Bruco16> bulmer: for now, all appears is a cursor
[06:19] <Flannel> wluz: you're on edgy?  you might need to change the shebang to point to bash instead of sh
[06:19] <Asturio> hi there
[06:19] <Bruco16> bulmer: on My PC, the splash shows
[06:19] <BlenderKitty> h3xis: how about kacpi?
[06:20] <h3xis> BlenderKitty, good enough
