[02:44] <wickedpuppy> how to play avi files in totem ? needs which codec or plugin ?
[02:44] <aftertaf> !codecs
[02:44] <ubotu> it has been said that codecs is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats
[02:44] <theD3viL> apt-get install w32codecs
[02:44] <scanwinder> aftertaf, any ideas how i should go about fixing the problem then?
[02:44] <Dogtix> ello, anyone here running software raid 5 (SATA) ?
[02:45] <aftertaf> scanwinder:  no idea..... check you have most uptodate bios... check which is better suported on your PC...
[02:45] <aftertaf> but only general ideas like that, sorry!!
[02:45] <bwlang> Dogtix: just ask...
[02:46] <Dogtix> I'm after a performance guideline, not an answer really
[02:46] <bwlang> theD3viL: only if you buy a new computer
[02:46] <theD3viL> bwlang, and what is problem?
[02:46] <dwerf> ok, so startx starts the system when the graphical interface is off, but it returns a desktop with entirely different settings, like language, standard irc-channel, etc
[02:46] <theD3viL> bwlang, i have very fast computer..
[02:47] <unvs_> Deep6: what if you symlink?
[02:47] <bwlang> theD3viL: ? you asked if breezy will be faster... it will if you buy a faster comptuer
[02:47] <Deep6> there's go to be a way
[02:47] <theD3viL> bwlang, faster than hoary...
[02:47] <bwlang> theD3viL: no
[02:48] <theD3viL> bwlang, and what will be different '
[02:48] <unvs_> Deep6: try symlinking the directory to a link with no spaces, then run rsync is what i mean
[02:48] <hmmf> you can get a free copy of 2003 windows server from MS and use another puter with it
[02:48] <bwlang> theD3viL : updated software... better utilities etc.
[02:48] <unvs_> Deep6: that's what the cygwin-crowd is doing anyways, works there
[02:49] <theD3viL> bwlang, tnx
[02:49] <dwerf> ok, so startx starts the system when the graphical interface is off, but it returns a desktop with entirely different settings, like language, standard irc-channel, etc
[02:49] <Deep6> unvs_, O
[02:49] <Deep6> I'll try that
[02:50] <drummer87> hi, anyone here have a wacom pad?
[02:50] <dwerf> drummer87 > ido
[02:50] <drummer87> i'm having problems with mine
[02:50] <dwerf> drummer87 > does it sometimes dance around the screen?
[02:51] <drummer87> dwerf, no, i can't click with it, only sometimes randomly
[02:51] <drummer87> and now it's stopped working completely (no movement)
[02:52] <dwerf> drummer87 > i have that too - i checked wacom on synaptic, but there's not much
[02:52] <aftertaf> dwerf:  depends on which user is ogged in when you run it...
[02:52] <aftertaf> hence why i said to rerun gdm
[02:52] <aftertaf> or kubuntu : kdm
[02:52] <aftertaf> /etc/init.d/k|gdm restart
[02:53] <drummer87> dwerf, would it be the drivers that are getting messed up? or X? or hardware?
[02:53] <aftertaf> you can only run startx as root, so better to pass by your login manager
[02:54] <apokryphos> aftertaf: incorrect; startx can be run as a normal user
[02:55] <dwerf> drummer87 > i wish i knew
[02:55] <aftertaf> ok
[02:55] <scanwinder> how do i go into standby using ACPI? whats the command?
[02:55] <dwerf> drummer87 > bacause i'd like to fix my wacom on linux
[02:55] <aftertaf> still, better to use login manager imho
[02:56] <apokryphos> definitely, yes.
[02:56] <dwerf> drummer87 > the preferences can be found in /usr/src/modules/wacom
[02:56] <drummer87> dwerf, hmm.. i might try compiling the latest wacom drivers
[02:56] <apokryphos> aftertaf: you do need sudo though to i.e. start kdm
[02:57] <drummer87> nothing in my /usr/src/modules folder
[03:00] <aftertaf> but you can choose the user for X with it!
[03:01] <dwerf> if i type 'locate whatever' in the shell, is there a way of selecting the returned info in a command, rather than typing it over?
[03:01] <aftertaf> dwerf:  pipe it
[03:01] <aftertaf> |
[03:01] <aftertaf> :)
[03:02] <dwerf> aftertaf > what is piping?
[03:02] <stoeptegel> i can't get my second sata harddrive to work under kubuntu, it says kernel panic, can't find partition /
[03:02] <supernix> anyone wanna do a DDS attack on that spammer ?
[03:02] <aftertaf> !tell dwerf about cli
[03:03] <supernix> I just got back and that mother spammed me over 50 times while I was gone and same url
[03:05] <dwerf> aftertaf > what do you mean with 'pipe it'? i only recently started using linux, it might be a very common linux term and/or command, i just don't know what it is...
[03:06] <Deep6> unvs_, that worked...kinda hackish though
[03:06] <dwerf> thanx!
[03:06] <unvs_> Deep6: ya..
[03:06] <moomooboy> isnt | <-- used for multi commands?
[03:07] <unvs_> piping is sending output to another process
[03:07] <unvs_> ls -l | less
[03:07] <unvs_> etc
[03:08] <stoeptegel> supernix: do you really check the urls? :p
[03:08] <supernix> nah I aint about to click the url for that skum bad
[03:08] <supernix> bag*
[03:09] <aftertaf> he's a scumbag?
[03:09] <Deep6> moomooboy, | is for taking input from the left side of the pipe and feeding it to stdin on the right side
[03:09] <supernix> aftertaf: all spammers are scum of the earth
[03:09] <afaik> hey, #ubuntu-unregged is GREAT... you can't change your nick to identify
[03:09] <Deep6> && and || are for chaining commands
[03:09] <afaik> that's genius
[03:10] <afaik> throw them in a room where they NEED to change their nick, but don't let them
[03:10] <aftertaf> supernix:  didnt notice he was spamming...
[03:17] <twibbler> does anybody know how to configure a pda under ubuntu please?
[03:17] <twibbler> ie ... how to tell which device it is ?..
[03:18] <bipolar> Does anyone know who maintains the OpenOffice2 packages? They are really out of date and having beta 2 released today might make it a good time to update.
[03:18] <apokryphos> afaik: actually, they don't need to change their nick at all
[03:19] <apokryphos> afaik: they need to identify, ideally.
[03:22] <aftertaf> twibbler:  mine worked just by plugging in, running kpilot and hitting the hotsync button.
[03:23] <twibbler> aftertaf: done that .... did you use dev/pilot ?.
[03:27] <twibbler> aftertaf: just installing kpilot ..
[03:28] <Azmodan> I just installed Ubuntu (dual-boot) and Grub hand on stage 1.5
[03:28] <afaik> apokryphos, for people like me, my client connected with the default user's name
[03:29] <afaik> it was a bit moronic I was thrust into #ubuntu-unregged, then couldn't change my nick to my registered nick to identify
[03:29] <afaik> really, wtf is the point of that?
[03:30] <Azmodan> afaik, you just /msg nickserv identify yournick
[03:30] <Azmodan> nickserv remember which nick you had if I am not mistaken
[03:30] <ekimus> any eclipse users here? i want to use the plattform-runtime-binary with just enough stuff to use java projects. but I can't find the necessary plugins on the eclipse page, any help?
[03:30] <unvs_> afaik: if you use irssi, check out the config file in ~/.irssi/
[03:31] <wickedpuppy> ekimus, try #eclipse
[03:31] <apokryphos> afaik: ok, but it's still not a place where you "NEED" to change your nick
[03:33] <apokryphos> afaik: and it doesn't allow you to change because you can't send to channel
[03:35] <aftertaf> anyway, where was I?
[03:36] <Arsonide> Is it just my imagination or does Linux download much faster than XP?
[03:37] <Arsonide> I don't see why it would, but it seems to be.
[03:37] <Kamping_Kaiser> Arsonide: depends on the box
[03:37] <Kamping_Kaiser> and the software :)
[03:37] <humulus> i.e. wget downloads definetly then a browser :)
[03:37] <Arsonide> Alright I'm downloading a new black and white 2 trailer...it's .mov format.
[03:37] <herrpoon> hi does anyone know a good bittorrent client other than the one that comes with ubuntu?
[03:38] <Arsonide> Will I be able to play it or do I need to boot into windows.
[03:38] <Stormx2> Hey
[03:38] <reiki_work> anyone printing directly on CDs usinf Epson R200 or R300 and Turboprint drivers?
[03:38] <apokryphos> herrpoon: Azureus and KTorrent, I use.
[03:38] <Stormx2> Anyone got any suggestions on removing the "Debian" menu in my GNOME menu?
[03:38] <reiki_work> s/using/usinf
[03:38] <herrpoon> right azureus, so il have to install java for that
[03:38] <apokryphos> !azureus
[03:38] <ubotu> rumour has it, azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, it can be downloaded from the hoary-extras repository
[03:39] <apokryphos> herrpoon: hoary-extras has java etc too
[03:39] <herrpoon> good
[03:39] <herrpoon> whats ktorrent like?
[03:39] <Arsonide> Does it have video codecs?
[03:39] <herrpoon> configurable?
[03:39] <apokryphos> herrpoon: more lightweight, less CPU-intensive, less featureful currently; one or two things I like.
[03:40] <apokryphos> has an option to download only the files from a torrent that you want, which I like.
[03:40] <herrpoon> right ill think ill give ktorrent a go thanks
[03:40] <apokryphos> But it's lacking in other areas.
[03:40] <herrpoon> hmm well i need one whereby i can sleect the port
[03:40] <apokryphos> herrpoon: both of them allow that
[03:40] <herrpoon> excellent thanks
[03:40] <Stormx2> Anyone got any suggestions on removing the "Debian" menu in my GNOME menu?
[03:41] <apokryphos> !ktorrent
[03:41] <ubotu> KTorrent is a KDE torrent Client. See: http://ktorrent.pwsp.net/index.php?page=downloads ; Ubu repository: deb http://dinton.no-ip.org/ kubuntu main
[03:41] <apokryphos> (haven't tested the repository myself, but it should work).
[03:41] <herrpoon> ahh ok
[03:41] <herrpoon> hehe
[03:42] <Arsonide> Where is it?
[03:42] <apokryphos> Arsonide: where's what?
[03:42] <Arsonide> The repository, I tried something online that should have installed all the "restricted" formats (mp3, avi, etc) but it didn't work.
[03:42] <Arsonide> So I think I need to do it myself.
[03:43] <ManLord> Woohoo! Opera software celebrates 10 Years and is giving away FREE registration codes for all platforms(only for limited hours)! http://my.opera.com/community/party/
[03:43] <apokryphos> w32codecs provides the restricted formats etc
[03:45] <Tobsn> hi
[03:45] <Tobsn> can someone help me with installing ipw2100?
[03:46] <Stormx2> wtf is with the opera stuff!
[03:46] <Stormx2> you can just refresh and get more and more codes! xD
[03:47] <unvs_> they probably just want to spread it as much as possible, before upgrading and changing the way licence-codes validate
[03:47] <Tobsn> can someone help me with installing ipw2100?
[03:48] <wickedpuppy> Tobsn, what is ipw ? is it in repos ?
[03:48] <Arsonide> so I did 'sudo less sources.list' but how do I add a line to the end?
[03:48] <Arsonide> forgot
[03:48] <wickedpuppy> Arsonide, sudo gedit /etc/sources.list
[03:49] <dwerf> who was having trouble with his wacom?
[03:49] <aftertaf> Arsonide:  vim, or echo "text" >> sources.list
[03:49] <Arsonide> oh is less just a text reader?
[03:49] <aftertaf> yep
[03:50] <aftertaf> marketing gimmick
[03:50] <afaik> apokryphos, you miss my point.. you have to change to your reg'd nick to identify
[03:50] <afaik> #ubuntu-unregged forces you to be unable to change your nick
[03:50] <aftertaf> deco & reco with right nick then... ?
[03:50] <afaik> it's just an annoyance, and serves no point.. that channel just has a collection of spam bots anyway
[03:50] <MAPD> hi
[03:51] <MAPD> multiverse thing isnt there a portuguese mirror?
[03:51] <MAPD> i needed xvid and divx
[03:51] <MAPD> :\
[03:51] <Tobsn> wickedpuppy intel wireless drivers...
[03:51] <aftertaf> paste your sources.list to the pastebin MAPD
[03:52] <Arsonide> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[03:52] <Arsonide> That happens when I try sudo apt-get install w32codecs.
[03:52] <aftertaf> Arsonide:  close synaptic
[03:52] <MAPD> aftertaf cant show them right now
[03:52] <aftertaf> or quit other apt-get process
[03:52] <MAPD> :\
[03:52] <Arsonide> :P
[03:52] <Arsonide> lol
[03:53] <aftertaf> MAPD:  in that case, add multiverse to every repos where you have universe...
[03:53] <Arsonide> Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[03:53] <aftertaf> Arsonide:  multiverse?
[03:53] <Arsonide> I did apt-get update after adding it to sources.list
[03:53] <aftertaf> !info w32codecs
[03:54] <Arsonide> I followed this: http://nozell.com/blog/archives/2005/07/22/w32codecs-for-ubuntu-hoary/

[04:01] <aftertaf> go to the wiki in the topic and find the example sources.list...
[04:03] <ilba7r> is there a command to tell me the users that are connected at the moment to my pc
[04:03] <vader1102> got a question, my wireless connection doesn't show up in the upper right hand corner, it tells me SICGIFFLAGS error: no such device, can anyone please help me, it does work or I wouldn't bein here
[04:04] <Arsonide> I used the sample list and it just broke more.
[04:04] <ilba7r> vader1102 type iwconfig in a term
[04:04] <ilba7r> and tell me what output you have
[04:04] <vader1102> k
[04:05] <Xanthus7> hello
[04:05] <theD3viL> hey
[04:05] <Xanthus7> I have set up ogle
[04:06] <Xanthus7> and I am getting an error message dvdreadblock got 8 wanted 12 failed
[04:06] <vader1102> ilba7r, http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/1747
[04:07] <ilba7r> great
[04:07] <MAPD> anyone knows which movie jack nicholson and natalie wood
[04:07] <MAPD> acted together
[04:07] <MAPD> ?
[04:07] <ilba7r> i think you may have eth as the default connection
[04:07] <ilba7r> just type in a terminal
[04:07] <ilba7r> ifdown eth0
[04:07] <ilba7r> sudo ifdown eth0 sorry
[04:07] <ilba7r> sudo ifup wlan0
[04:07] <vader1102> k
[04:08] <Xanthus7> how do I fix this problem
[04:08] <vader1102> allready configured
[04:09] <CarlFK> Xanthus7 -try using vobcopy to copy the DVD to the HD
[04:09] <vader1102> wlan0 is ath0 on mine
[04:09] <Xanthus7> I cannot play it off my dvd disk
[04:09] <CarlFK> Xanthus7 - vobcopy -m
[04:09] <ilba7r> ok than type sudo ifup ath0
[04:09] <vader1102> did and it says device allready configured
[04:10] <ilba7r> ok on your network link at the top corner
[04:10] <ilba7r> click on it and make the default connection to net through ath0
[04:10] <CarlFK> Xanthus7 - if vobcopy can't read it, then either the disk is scratched or dammaged or wasn't burned right (like the movie Hitch)
[04:10] <vader1102> there we fo...ty
[04:10] <vader1102> go
[04:11] <Xanthus7> ok where do I vobcopy
[04:11] <Xanthus7> I played this disk with ogle in fc4
[04:13] <mypapit> !ktorrent
[04:13] <ubotu> KTorrent is a KDE torrent Client. See: http://ktorrent.pwsp.net/index.php?page=downloads ; Ubu repository: deb http://dinton.no-ip.org/ kubuntu main
[04:13] <Xanthus7> vob is reading the disk
[04:13] <mypapit> !lame
[04:13] <ubotu> mypapit: I don't know, could you explain it?
[04:13] <Xanthus7> So Carl is there a problem with the dvd player
[04:13] <mypapit> apokryphos, find lame mp3 encoder
[04:13] <espectro> hi, i am having problems connecting to my windows printer
[04:13] <espectro> in console, i can do:
[04:14] <apokryphos> mypapit: better to investigate with ubotu in /msg
[04:14] <apokryphos> !find lame
[04:14] <ubotu> Ubuntu Package Listing of 'lame' (8 shown): flamethrower ;; glame ;; lame ;; lame-extras ;; liblame-dev ;; liblame0 ;; systemimager-server-flamethrowerd ;; toolame.
[04:14] <CarlFK> Xanthus7 - sudo apt-get install vobcopy
[04:14] <CarlFK> oh, you found it.
[04:14] <apokryphos> mypapit: I take it you want the "lame" package
[04:14] <Xanthus7> I got it and it is coping the disk with no problem Carl
[04:14] <Xanthus7> so it is not the disk
[04:14] <CarlFK> Xanthus7 - it may take about an hour
[04:15] <CarlFK> Xanthus7 you don't know untill it copies the whole disk
[04:15] <apokryphos> mypapit: it's in Multiverse
[04:15] <Xanthus7> OK
[04:20] <Chameleon22> what does IPC$ share on samba do? purpose etc?
[04:22] <LoveBug356> Does someone know of it is possible to make a log or blog with docbook?
[04:23] <apokryphos> LoveBug356: possible, sure; a little unnecessary -- yes.
[04:23] <LoveBug356> apokryphos: I have only a html server
[04:24] <LoveBug356> apokryphos: I want to make a simple,clean log/blog
[04:24] <LoveBug356> apokryphos: any other suggestions
[04:25] <apokryphos> LoveBug356: blosxom (sp) uses Perl, and is good (pretty configurable)
[04:25] <OneSeventeen> I installed cedega via their .deb, do I need to use dpkg to uninstall it, or can I just use synaptic?
[04:25] <apokryphos> you'd need a lot of extra stuff for docbook there, anyway. XML can be annoying :/
[04:25] <funkyHat> does anyone here use sawfish?
[04:25] <funkyHat> i'm utterly fed up with window focus in metacity
[04:26] <chrismy> apokryphos, hey i am registered! :D
[04:26] <apokryphos> excellent
[04:27] <osfameron> the blosxom codebase is terrifying though
[04:27] <apokryphos> osfameron: there's good docs on it; reasonable simple with a little diligence
[04:27] <LoveBug356> apokryphos: I don't have access to run scripts on the server
[04:28] <osfameron> apokryphos, oh, sure - I mean the code *itself*.  Very scarecely commented.  Very *clever* (in the way that people accuse Perl of being :-)
[04:28] <LoveBug356> apokryphos: So I need to upload a html every time
[04:28] <chrismy> apokryphos, what is the signifance of us being registered? what can we do?
[04:28] <apokryphos> LoveBug356: doesn't blogspot just alter the HTML file for you?
[04:29] <apokryphos> chrismy: /msg to ubotu, make sure no-one else takes your username, if your computer dies and chrismy is still on Freenode you can "ghost" it and reclaim your nick etc etc
[04:30] <chrismy> by typing    /mg ubotu help   ??
[04:30] <apokryphos> you'll get output, yes.
[04:30] <thoreauputic> chrismy: you can also set modes like /umode +CE to avoid spam (see /topic)
[04:30] <chrismy> oops...
[04:30] <chrismy> ahh ok
[04:31] <reiki_work> apache question... in order to be able to have a URL as https:// (to establish a secure socket layer) I'm being told I have to "purchase a certificate". The web server won't display a page if https is used. I seem to recall being able to do this without purchasing any kind of certificate. Are they blowing smoke up my ass or what?
[04:31] <theD3viL> Is realy bad to set up root user at install ?
[04:32] <reiki_work> I'm not at home right now or I'd try it on my Ubuntu box
[04:32] <CarlFK> reiki_work - best to ask in #apache, but...
[04:32] <funkyHat> theD3viL, it's not really bad, but why do you need to?
[04:32] <CarlFK> reiki_work - I am pretty sure you can make your own
[04:32] <reiki_work> theD3viL: you really don't need a root user in Ubuntu
[04:32] <thoreauputic> theD3viL: not "really bad" - not really necessary though
[04:32] <reiki_work> CarlFK: that's what I thought
[04:32] <CarlFK> reiki_work but if you make your own it won't be "trusted" or something
[04:33] <reiki_work> CarlFK: really not a problem.. as long as it establishes a secure, encrypted connection
[04:33] <CarlFK> reiki_work - as where the ones from thwarti? and the other "big guys" are setup in "everyone's" browser as "ok"
[04:33] <scanwinder> anyone know how2 set a proxy in dillo?
[04:34] <koneng> can someone tell me how to edit the .xsession file in my home directory?
[04:34] <nerdy2> reiki_work: but that's part of the problem, if it's not trusted,  there's little way to prevent a man in the middle attack
[04:34] <nerdy2> reiki_work: in other words, no way to know that it is secure
[04:34] <sproingie> reiki_work: you can use a self-signed cert, however everyone will get a warning in their browser that the signer isn't trusted the first time they visit
[04:34] <reiki_work> hmmm.... ok... I'll have to look into this more so I don't make stupid mistakes :)
[04:35] <sproingie> reiki_work: this is fine for personal sites, but most professional sites don't want that warning to appear
[04:35] <CarlFK> reiki_work - #apache
[04:35] <reiki_work> sproingie: that's really ok. As long as it's a secure link... y'know?
[04:35] <nerdy2> reiki_work: that's the point of the server signing,  the user presumably trusts certain signing authorities [a list comes with most browsers] ,  these compare the certificate with the domain to make sure that it is the right one [rather than a random untrusted one]
[04:36] <CarlFK> I think it is like ssh - if you want to be sure, you can move a public/private key pair around on a floppy
[04:36] <nerdy2> reiki_work: this will guarantee the certificate and domain at least go together, which should mean there is no man in the middle
[04:36] <sproingie> reiki_work: for internal sites, it's probably fine.  i just wouldn't go self-signed for customer-facing stuff
[04:37] <CarlFK> so with a little work, you can be 100% sure that your connection is secure (but again, ask they wizards in #apache)
[04:37] <Concord_Dawn> how do I send a SIGHUP signal to a process?
[04:37] <sproingie> i think unless you use bbn's quantum crypto network, you can't ever be 100% sure ;)
[04:38] <nerdy2> Concord_Dawn: kill -HUP <pid>
[04:38] <Concord_Dawn> thanks.
[04:38] <dogson> i manually removed /etc/esound/esd.conf and now i want to reinstall it, and did a apt-get --reinstall install esound-common but i didnt get the file back. why?
[04:38] <koneng> i only see a .xsession-errors file in my home directory. i need to edit the .xsession file. do i just create one? or am i looking in the wrong place?
[04:39] <MAPD> hi
[04:39] <MAPD> everytime i boot my linux
[04:39] <MAPD> it changes my time
[04:39] <MAPD> since it cant uploa
[04:39] <MAPD> update
[04:39] <nerdy2> koneng: if you want one, create one   ;  why do you want one?
[04:39] <MAPD> i cant change it back
[04:39] <MAPD> :
[04:39] <MAPD> :/
[04:39] <sproingie> dogson: dpkg-reconfigure esound
[04:40] <sproingie> dogson: if that doesn't work, try dpkg-reconfigure esound-common
[04:40] <dogson> sproingie, i did, still nothing
[04:41] <dogson> well i guess i can extract it from the deb, but its annoying :P
[04:41] <koneng> nerdy2, i'm trying to get back/forward buttons on my 5 button mouse to work in firefox. so i looked it up here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28374 it says to edit .xsession file
[04:41] <sproingie> dogson: dunno then.  something had to create it the first time around
[04:41] <MAPD> help pls
[04:42] <nerdy2> koneng: ok, you can create it if it doesn't exist
[04:42] <topyli> yay, breezy did not kill my box after all :)
[04:43] <koneng> nerdy2, do i just type 'gedit .xsession' while im in my /home/user dir to create it?
[04:44] <nerdy2> koneng: that'll suffice
[04:44] <nerdy2> koneng: keep in mind that step may not be necessary
[04:44] <koneng> nerdy2, why do you say that?
[04:44] <nerdy2> koneng: it may suffice to just add ZAxisMapping 4 5 to your input device section of xorg.conf
[04:45] <koneng> instead of 6 7?
[04:45] <nerdy2> koneng: and of course the right mouse protocol (maybe Option Protocol IMPS/2 ...)
[04:45] <nerdy2> koneng: yes
[04:45] <koneng> nerdy2, would you mind explaining what the difference is between 4 5 and 6 7?
[04:46] <nerdy2> (firefox expects the wheel inputs to come in as buttons 4,5 ...   for whatever reason this wasn't working for the guy in that forum, so in addition to changing the mouse protocol he also changed this to 6,7 but then modified the .xsession to /remap/ these to come in as if they were 4,5)
[04:47] <nerdy2> (the xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 6 7 4 5"   exchanges what buttons 6,7 and 4,5)
[04:47] <theD3viL> Why is totem in every ubuntu? why isnt mplayer or anythink else?
[04:48] <nerdy2> isn't the point of ubuntu to choose one thing and stick with it :)
[04:48] <koneng> nerdy2, oh, i see. i'll try that, thanks for your help
[04:49] <nerdy2> theD3viL: there are other things in the universe/multiverse (mplayer's in the multiverse)
[04:49] <black_13> i need candy!
[04:50] <LoveBug356> apokryphos: How do I run that cgi-script?
[04:50] <theD3viL> yes..i know......but i dont wanna have installed 4players and i need just one !
[04:51] <apokryphos> LoveBug356: it's been about 6 months since I tried blosxom, I have no idea. Check the docs on it.
[04:51] <apokryphos> (I imagine you mean blosxom)
[04:53] <zeus1_> can anyone help me fix sound
[04:54] <Hieronymus> zeus1_: what is the problem
[04:54] <zeus1_> i cant here any sound in my usb headset hieronymus
[04:55] <zeus1_> and its not being detected in device manager
[04:57] <Hieronymus> zeus1_: from what I know, Ubuntu can't handle more than 1 soundcard properly (yet). Some USB headsets are in fact/have a soundcard. I heard (but am not sure), that it'll be fixed in the next Ubuntu release (october)
[04:58] <zeus1_> hieronymus: thank u...i guess i have to go back to the doze to listen to my tunes :(
[04:58] <Hieronymus> zeus1_: I'm not sure, but this looks similar to your problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2803
[05:00] <lexmark2> just ran into a problem here.. I just installed Alien.. but I am dont know how to open the program?
[05:00] <zeus1_> thank u hieronymus i will chek that out
[05:00] <topyli> lexmark2: it's not an interactive program, you just run it on a target file
[05:01] <topyli> lexmark2: like "alien -i foo.rpm"
[05:01] <OneSeventeen> Our windows machines here at work were hit by the recent worm outbreaks, and I need to help troubleshoot, but I can't seem to replicate the issue with my ubuntu box.... :p
[05:01] <topyli> OneSeventeen: yeah, linux's virus support sucks
[05:01] <cemc> :)
[05:02] <lexmark2> oh
[05:02] <lexmark2> thank topy
[05:02] <nerdy2> theD3viL: that's kinda the point, why not use totem then?
[05:02] <zeus1_> damn it...this is too hard...guess i have to wait until october...is it hard to upgrade to breezy??
[05:03] <theD3viL> nerdy2, couse totem dont have much options
[05:03] <zeus1_> when it comes out that is....
[05:03] <Hieronymus> zeus1_: not when it's stable/released
[05:03] <zeus1_> So is there just a button u click when breezy is released to just upgrade from Hoary
[05:03] <dwerf> what are my options with video editing on Linux?
[05:03] <nerdy2> theD3viL: options?
[05:03] <aru> dwerf: Kino is good
[05:04] <aru> thats what I use
[05:04] <theD3viL> nerdy2, yes.. totem even dont have STOP button !!!
[05:04] <Butcherbird_Jr> zeus1_, cant you use apt get do update distro
[05:04] <dwerf> aru > is it available through synaptic?
[05:04] <zeus1_> umm idk butcherbird_jr
[05:04] <aru> dwerf: yes it is
[05:04] <nerdy2> theD3viL: it has a pause button
[05:04] <theD3viL> aru, Kino is for video editing
[05:04] <aru> theD3viL: isn't that what he asked for?
[05:05] <Hieronymus> zeus1_: I'm not sure about via the network (might need to change some configuration), but if you insert a Breezy Badger CD, you will be asked if you want to upgrade
[05:05] <topyli> theD3viL: stop buttons are obsolete. tape recorders need them, totem doesn't
[05:05] <funkyHat> the gtk-qt theme engine is crap :(
[05:05] <zeus1_> oh ok....that sounds easy enough
[05:05] <Butcherbird_Jr> zeus1_, I think it is apt-get upgrade distro
[05:05] <lexmark2> topy, I am trying to locate the parameters for Alien.. could not locate it in their website
[05:05] <zeus1_> so is it a CD or apt-get???
[05:05] <zeus1_> im confused now :(
[05:05] <lexmark2> do you happen to know whats the command line to convert RPM to deb?
[05:05] <Butcherbird_Jr> zeus1_, either
[05:05] <aru> System > Administration > Ubuntu Update Manager
[05:05] <topyli> lexmark2: read the man page, it's always nearby
[05:05] <zeus1_> k.
[05:06] <theD3viL> topyli, so when you want to stop movie you must close programm
[05:06] <lexmark2> http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/
[05:06] <lexmark2> thats the page right?
[05:06] <zeus1_> i relly like ubuntu....but im really upset that i cant get my sound to work...it basically ruins the whole thing for me :(
[05:06] <adjacent> how do i permanently add something to the PATH of a certain user (or system-wide, for that matter)...? I've edited .bashrc, but it doesnt seem to apply when i open a new Terminal
[05:06] <adjacent> zeus1_: what sndcard?
[05:06] <aru> zeus1_: yeah...
[05:06] <aru> heh
[05:07] <topyli> theD3viL: i don't see the use case. either you pause, you change the movie, or you exit
[05:07] <zeus1_> adjacent : nvidia soundforce
[05:07] <zeus1_> and also a plantronics dsp 500 head set
[05:07] <adjacent> zeus1_: can you see it if you run lspci?
[05:07] <zeus1_> sec
[05:07] <theD3viL> topyli, so you using totem '
[05:07] <topyli> i am
[05:07] <aru> zeus1_: you have no sound what so ever, or just when you try certian types of media?
[05:08] <zeus1_> adjacent: no I dont see it
[05:08] <zeus1_> aru: I have no sound in the headset...it works perfectly fine through the speakers
[05:08] <funkyHat> is there a plastik-like theme for gtk2?
[05:08] <topyli> darn. lyx takes forever to build. this is as bad as mozilla or something
[05:08] <nerdy2> theD3viL: are you saying you want to get an hour or two through a movie, and then stop it and restart from the beginning?
[05:08] <aru> funkyHat: did you check out gnome-look.org and art.gnome.org
[05:09] <adjacent> zeus1_: oh, how does the headset interface with the soundcard? just a minijack?
[05:09] <funkyHat> yeah, i can't find anything at the moment
[05:09] <dwerf> aru - it's installed now, does it support multiple sound and/or audio layers?
[05:09] <aru> zeus1_: well my only guess is... are they plugged in? :)
[05:09] <theD3viL> nerdy2, no...just asking...so all of you using TOTEM?
[05:09] <Concord_Dawn> ubotu: tell funkyHat about art
[05:09] <Concord_Dawn> ubotu: tell funkyHat about themes
[05:09] <topyli> hehe
[05:09] <zeus1_> aru: ....lol yes they are...they work fine in windows XP
[05:09] <Bergcube> What are the rules-of-thumb concerning partition sizes?  I've read various docs on this, but they're always rather general.  I'm thinking about how big does /boot, / , and swap NEED to be?
[05:09] <aru> hey... sometimes you never know
[05:09] <zeus1_> adjacent: Umm...idk I think its seperate from the card
[05:10] <jeaah> where I can download gcc for ubuntu?
[05:10] <adjacent> anyone know about that PATH question? how to add something to the global PATH?
[05:10] <apokryphos> jeaah: sudo aptitude install build-essential
[05:10] <adjacent> zeus1_: sorry, im really not familiar with that headset....
[05:10] <nerdy2> theD3viL: yes i use totem
[05:10] <Hieronymus> jeaah: you can install it with apt-get
[05:10] <Butcherbird_Jr> lexmark2, alien -d "filename"
[05:10] <topyli> theD3viL: there's a reason totem is the gnome default. it works like gnome apps do, without some weird skinned interface
[05:10] <nerdy2> theD3viL: and no you don't want that feature?   but you are complaining that totem doesn't have it?!
[05:10] <zeus1_> adjacent: k
[05:10] <jeaah> apokryphos: I can't - it says that I must install gcc and g++
[05:11] <DjKritical> Is there a linux equivilent of windows deamon tools?
[05:11] <apokryphos> jeaah: that *brings in* those
[05:11] <adjacent> DjKritical: mount?
[05:11] <apokryphos> jeaah: are you connected to the Internet?
[05:11] <apokryphos> (on that computer)
[05:11] <jeaah> NO!
[05:11] <Bergcube> DjKritical~ I have to agree with adjacent.  You can simply mount the ISO.
[05:11] <jeaah> :(((
[05:12] <jeaah> that's the problem
[05:12] <aru> zeus1_: http://www.wombatnation.com/2004/06/skype-on-linux
[05:12] <DjKritical> I didn't realise you could mount an ISO? what about other Image formats?
[05:12] <adjacent> DjKritical: something like "mount -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/cdimage"
[05:12] <Hieronymus> jeaah: you can use a CD
[05:12] <lexmark2> thanks Butcherbird
[05:12] <nerdy2> theD3viL: it's kinda absurd to complain it is missing something that no one would ever use (including yourself) :)
[05:12] <aru> zeus1_: on that message board they talk about getting the same headset working on fedora...
[05:12] <jeaah> Hieronymus: how ?
[05:12] <Fabse> what do i have to do to register a ttf font file with the font server (under breezy)
[05:12] <lexmark2> thanks Butcherbird_Jr
[05:12] <Bergcube> DjKritical~ Thou shalt not have other image formats than ISO!  :-D  :-D  :-D
[05:12] <Hieronymus> jeaah: you can install packages from a CD
[05:13] <theD3viL> nerdy2,hm... ?
[05:13] <Hieronymus> jeaah: do you have a ubuntu installation cd?
[05:13] <zeus1_> aru: k thx...i will take a look
[05:13] <jeaah> Hieronymus: yes
[05:13] <aru> zeus1_: it's actually after the article, down in the comments
[05:13] <DjKritical> Bergcube, lol yeah.. I guess I can just convert the other formats... stupid windows programs making their own formats! (nrg/nero... alcohol)
[05:13] <Butcherbird_Jr> np
[05:13] <nerdy2> theD3viL: i asked "so you want the opportunity to stop midway through a long movie and start it over from the beginning" and you said "no"   i take that to mean you agree that there's no use for a stop button
[05:14] <jeaah> Hieronymus: i have cd but how to do it?
[05:14] <zeus1_> aru : i found this ... maybe this can help<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[05:14] <Bergcube> I'm nagging:  What are the rules-of-thumb concerning partition sizes?  I've read various docs on this, but they're always rather general.  I'm thinking about how big does /boot, / , and swap NEED to be?  (I plan to put /home on a partition of it's own, and I want it as large as I can...)
[05:14] <Bergcube> DjKritical~ I thought Nero could make ISO-images directly?
[05:14] <topyli> nerdy2: it's possible of course. you can drag the progress bar back to the beginning (or anywhere you like)
[05:14] <dwerf> people, i've been using ubuntu for 2 weeks now and i just wanted to let all of you know i've completely fallen in love with linux
[05:14] <osfameron> nerdy2, actually, it annoys me that, for example, iTunes doesn't have a stop button.  I know it's irrational, but I find that fact that you can only pause songs discomforting
[05:15] <apokryphos> jeaah: sudo apt-get install gcc
[05:15] <apokryphos> it's on the CD, I think
[05:15] <aru> zeus1_: if it were my headset, I would throw it down and cry... but I give up easy
[05:15] <Hieronymus> jeaah: Open Synaptic package manager, inside Synaptic press configuration -> repositories
[05:15] <DjKritical> Bergcube, by default it makes NRG... and a lot of my images wern't made by me
[05:15] <zeus1_> aru: lol...I have been at this for 4 days..I posted a topic on the forums and have had to bump it 5 times because its getting no replies
[05:15] <DjKritical> It's all good tho, no big deal to convert them
[05:15] <nerdy2> topyli: yes and even if it was some long dvd, you could also press b a few times, and so the keynav's also sufficiently easy
[05:15] <CarlFK> is there a comman line way to get an image from a usb web cam?  (I have a few models)
[05:15] <Hieronymus> jeaah: It might be something different, I use Dutch menus, so I'm not really sure what it's called
[05:15] <nerdy2> topyli: but it's hardly ever useful
[05:16] <Bergcube> DjKritical~ Ah.  Well, then I guess that's the easiest tweak.
[05:16] <apokryphos> Hieronymus: I don't think he needs to... CD is uncommented by default, no?
[05:16] <Fabse> what do i have to do to register a ttf font file with the font server (under breezy)
[05:16] <Hieronymus> apokryphos: I'm not really sure, that's why I'm asking him to check ;-)
[05:16] <dwerf> if the default name of thunderbird is mozilla-thunderbird, how can i change it?
[05:16] <topyli> nerdy2: no it's not. otherwise we would have a "play it again sam" button :)
[05:17] <apokryphos> dwerf: change it? As in, change the executable for it?
[05:17] <Bergcube> Is there really NOBODY that have partitioned their disks manually?
[05:17] <Hieronymus> Bergcube: what do you mean by manually?
[05:17] <topyli> Bergcube: no, we use software for that ;)
[05:17] <nerdy2> Bergcube: heh boot needs to be large enough to handle a few kernels
[05:17] <CarlFK> Hieronymus - using a hex editor ;)
[05:17] <Hieronymus> Bergcube: I used the 'advanced' mode if that's what you mean
[05:17] <Bergcube> Hieronymus~ I mean, choosing on your own how big the various partitions are to be and what file system they shall hold.....
[05:17] <dwerf> apokryphos > no, change the name for the shell, so i don't need to type 'mozilla-thunderbird'
[05:18] <Hieronymus> CarlFK: :)
[05:18] <Hieronymus> Bergcube: I did that
[05:18] <topyli> Bergcube: of course
[05:18] <nerdy2> Bergcube: and at the same time, probably small and near the beginning of the disk to prevent problems
[05:18] <adjacent> Bergcube: i think most people do that, unless its their first or second install
[05:18] <Bergcube> Hieronymus~ Yeah, in advanced.
[05:18] <dwerf> apokryphos > like just 'thun'
[05:18] <Tobsn> hmm how to remove the error "SIOCGIFFLAGS-Error: No Device found" when i'am clicking on the networkicon
[05:18] <Tobsn> ...?
[05:18] <apokryphos> dwerf: ...for it to open up thunderbird? Yes, that *is* changing the executable for it
[05:18] <aru> during the install it said "we're gunna kill everything and make it some elite linux format" and I clicked the Alright button
[05:18] <apokryphos> dwerf: just make a symbolic link to mozilla-thunderbird in bin/
[05:18] <dwerf> apokryphos > cool
[05:18] <adjacent> Bergcube: personally i think its a bad idea not to put /var on its own partition
[05:19] <CarlFK> adjacent -I used to do manual, then i realized the installers did a pretty good job, so now I just let it do what ever it wants, and havn't regrted it
[05:19] <sorush20> how do I get a sony handycam to work with Ubuntu
[05:19] <spiderworm> hey all, all of the sudden firefox (and only firefox) has become extremely slow to respond to mouse clicks, one to two seconds, anyone hear of this problem before?
[05:19] <topyli> dwerf: /usr/bin rather. thunderbird is hardly an essential system tool
[05:19] <adjacent> CarlFK: dont have any HD errors then.... or /var/log/syslog could consume your disk ;)
[05:19] <dwerf> apokryphos > so anything that is in /bin will be started in the shell by just typing it's name?
[05:19] <Bergcube> I plan to make one partition for swap, one for / one for /boot and one for /home.  I want to get as much space as possible left for /home.  So I wonder what "the rules" are for the rest......
[05:19] <dwerf> apokryphos > so anything that is in /usr/bin will be started in the shell by just typing it's name?
[05:20] <apokryphos> dwerf: /usr/bin/ for systemwide; ~/bin/ for you
[05:20] <dwerf> thanks
[05:20] <Hieronymus> Bergcube: swap rule-of-thumb is your RAM*2
[05:20] <Bergcube> adjacent~ I agree.  I've never really seen the point of putting /var on a separate part.
[05:20] <Hieronymus> Bergcube: like 512MB RAM*2=1024MB SWAP
[05:20] <stoeptegel> can somebody say why i get a kernel panic (can't find / patition) when i plugin my second sata harddisk?
[05:20] <Bergcube> Hieronymus~ I see.  Well, that's not much.  :-)
[05:21] <stoeptegel> typo -> partition
[05:21] <ollie> if I've got an nvidia geforce 5500, should it be auto-detected, when installing either hoary or breezy?
[05:21] <adjacent> Bergcube: /boot should be 500megs or so, /var should be a few gigs, / should be maybe 7-10gigs, swap is roughly twice your RAM, and /home can be the rest
[05:21] <CarlFK> Hieronymus - the swap rule only works if you only have as much ram as you need
[05:21] <Hieronymus> Bergcube: you want /boot to be a few hundred MB
[05:21] <dwerf> apokryphos > there doesn't seem to exist a ~/bin
[05:21] <ollie> I'm not sure reading the wiki whether I'd only need to anything to get better performance for 3-d
[05:21] <CarlFK> 500 meg for boot!! wow.  I have 30.
[05:21] <Hieronymus> CarlFK: well, it's a stupid rule, but there's nothing better, is there
[05:21] <apokryphos> dwerf: create it
[05:21] <Bergcube> adjacent~ Brilliant!
[05:21] <adjacent> Bergcube: its so your logs dont fill your disk and prevent you from manageing the box remotely
[05:21] <dwerf> ok
[05:22] <CarlFK> Hieronymus - better: let the distro do it for you.
[05:22] <Bergcube> Hieronymus~ Thanks a lot!
[05:22] <Bergcube> adjacent~ I see......
[05:22] <adjacent> CarlFK: yeh, depends on how many kernels you have, etc
[05:22] <adjacent> CarlFK: ive had tiny /boot parts on embedded systems, for example
[05:23] <CarlFK> adjacent - and now big your drive is.  over 1/2 my installs are on 5 year old boxes that have 3.5gig drives
[05:23] <adjacent> CarlFK: agreed. i think Bergcube was talking about a desktop system though
[05:23] <stoeptegel> it's boots fine when one disk pluged
[05:23] <Bergcube> adjacent~ I was.  :-)
[05:24] <jatos> hi
[05:24] <Hieronymus> jatos: hi
[05:24] <Bergcube> Thanks for your help and input, folks.  I'm off to re-install this computer.
[05:24] <CarlFK> we could talk about Bergcube's needs for an hour, and I would bet 10:1 that the default would work just as well
[05:25] <tdn> Is there a "Ubuntu way" of installing Eclipse (eclipse.org)? Or should I just download it from eclipse.org?
[05:25] <Hieronymus> !package eclipse
[05:25] <ubotu> Hieronymus: Are you smoking crack?
[05:25] <Bergcube> CarlFK~ You are probably right.  But I am a control freak.  And a computer consultant.  I want to KNOW what's going on.  I want to tweak and tickle with it.
[05:26] <apokryphos> Hieronymus: it's !info or !find :)
[05:26] <tdn> Hieronymus, well... are you? :)
[05:26] <tdn> !info eclipse
[05:26] <tdn> !find eclipse
[05:26] <ubotu> eclipse-nls-sdk: (localized message catalog for eclipse), section multiverse/devel, is optional. Version: <IP_ADDRESS>-2 (hoary), Packaged size: 20924 kB, Installed size: 35976 kB
[05:26] <adjacent> CarlFK: k
[05:26] <Hieronymus> apokryphos: thanks
[05:26] <Hieronymus> tdn: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=eclipse&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all lists packages with 'eclipse' in it for Ubuntu
[05:26] <CarlFK> Bergcube - in this case, I don't think the time spent tweaking is worth it, so if you are charging for yout time, you are scamming your clients (imho)
[05:28] <CarlFK> damm, he left.  I feel bad.  so I'll respond for him: Bergcube: "I belive it is worth it, my customers are happy, and I give them enough extra help for free that it all works out"
[05:28] <CarlFK> there.  I feel better.
[05:29] <dwerf> when typing "ln mozilla-thunderbird /home/dwerf/Desktop/thun" I do not get a linked file, but an executable
[05:29] <tdn> Hieronymus, hmm... Yeah. But I'm not sure that answers my question.
[05:29] <adjacent> dwerf: ln -S
[05:29] <dwerf> how do i create an alias?
[05:29] <dwerf> ok
[05:29] <Hieronymus> tdn: the 'ubuntu way' of installing packages is using apt-get or a frontend for it (like the Synaptic package manager)
[05:29] <adjacent> dwerf: you want a symbolic link, not a file pointer to the same meory space
[05:30] <dwerf> adjecent > thanks
[05:30] <lexmark22> I just installed a deb package from the root.. how do I go about finding the application to launch? Gyach, thats the name of the app
[05:30] <Hieronymus> lexmark22: my guess: run 'gyach'
[05:30] <tdn> Hieronymus, yes. But there is appearently no such package. Could I use one from apt-get.org? Or is that a big No no in Ubuntu?
[05:30] <sorush20> are BeOS drivers the same as linux
[05:31] <lexmark22> nope.. apparently its not working
[05:31] <Hieronymus> tdn: I wouldn't do that, but you _can_
[05:31] <lexmark22> application could not be found
[05:31] <lapo> hi
[05:31] <lexmark22> it resides under /usr/bin right?
[05:32] <tdn> Hieronymus, what would you do then? Download Eclipse from eclipse.org+
[05:32] <Hieronymus> tdn: A good start would be to request for the package to be added to Ubuntu
[05:33] <Hieronymus> tdn: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UniverseCandidates
[05:33] <wdh> sorush20, dont't think so
[05:33] <sorush20> wdh: can I use wine to install software for hardware and then to be able run that hardware..
[05:34] <Hieronymus> sorush20: I don't think so
[05:35] <Hieronymus> sorush20: BeOS is a complet different OS from GNU/Linux
[05:35] <wdh> sorush20, drivers are kernel-specific normally..
[05:35] <lexmark22> can I pm you Hieronymus?
[05:35] <Hieronymus> lexmark22: why?
[05:35] <lexmark22> just have a short log from the install of the deb
[05:35] <tdn> Hieronymus, No. I don't think that I will do that. From the page: `` you must have reviewed this package for known security vulnerabilities and provide patches for all of them'', I am not experienced enough to do that.
[05:35] <lexmark22> or is it ok to paste it here?
[05:36] <Hieronymus> tdn: that's if you want to actually _get_ it in Universe
[05:36] <Hieronymus> tdn: you can request that someone does it for you
[05:36] <wdh> lexmark22, try paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[05:36] <Hieronymus> lexmark22: paste in a pastebin, like wdh said
[05:36] <Hieronymus> lexmark22: paste the link to the pastebin here
[05:36] <lexmark22> ok will do
[05:36] <tdn> Hieronymus, how do I request that?
[05:36] <thux> Hi, howto make bootcd like boot floppy in hoary that can start without bootloader in mbr?
[05:37] <sorush20> I wana be able to capture films on to my linux system from a handy cam can someone help please.. can I use wine to install software for hardware and then to be able run that hardware..
[05:37] <CarlFK> thux - SMB
[05:37] <CarlFK> er
[05:37] <CarlFK> thux - SBM  (url comming...)
[05:37] <Hieronymus> tdn: you edit the list there, and add an entry for whatever package you want in Universe
[05:37] <lexmark22> actually, I have narrowed it down to 2 lines
[05:37] <lexmark22> Unpacking replacement gyach-enhanced-media-package ...
[05:37] <lexmark22> Setting up gyach-enhanced-media-package (0.2-2) ...
[05:37] <lexmark22> I get that after installing the deb
[05:38] <lexmark22> after that it goes to the root prompt
[05:38] <lexmark22> but I could not locate the file
[05:38] <tdn> Hieronymus, ok. But that doese not fix my problem right now. How would you recommend that I installed eclipse _now-?
[05:38] <Hieronymus> tdn: well, using a .deb is better than building from source. Try to see if Debian has Eclipse, else try apt-get.org
[05:38] <CarlFK> thux -hmm.. cant find the URL... before I spend too much time... do you want to boot something on a CD or HD?
[05:39] <thux> hd
[05:39] <tdn> Hieronymus, ok. Thanks.
[05:39] <thux> hoary on hd
[05:39] <Hieronymus> tdn: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=eclipse&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all
[05:39] <Hieronymus> tdn: http://packages.debian.org/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=eclipse&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all
[05:39] <CarlFK> thux - ok - not sure if sbm will do what you need, but it is easy enough to try, and worth messing with it for 5 or 10 min just to learn what it does
[05:40] <thux> ok I try that, thanx
[05:40] <CarlFK> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmartBootManagerHowto
[05:40] <CarlFK> damm.
[05:40] <Hieronymus> CarlFK: ?
[05:41] <CarlFK> yes?
[05:42] <Hieronymus> CarlFK: why the "damn"?
[05:42] <CarlFK> cuz thux left right before I posted the URL
[05:43] <CarlFK> I have a logitech quickcam - any clue how to grab jpgs or some format of still image from it?
[05:44] <kamikazesponge> hello
[05:46] <CarlFK> and... how do I let a user (that isn't a sudoer) start/stop a dialup connection to the Net?
[05:46] <thoreauputic> CarlFK: add them to the dip and dialout groups
[05:46] <sorush20> how do I capture form a MiniDV media
[05:47] <CarlFK> thoreauputic - once added, what do they do to make the conection?
[05:47] <CarlFK> (I have gotten 3+ answers to this, so I want to know which to try now)
[05:47] <thoreauputic> CarlFK: depends on how you configured it - I used pppconfig, and use pon/poff for connection
[05:48] <thoreauputic> CarlFK: if you used the graphical method, right click the panel and select the dialup applet
[05:49] <CarlFK> thoreauputic - know of any GUI ways (I am setting up a box that some 7, 9 an 15 year old kids will use)
[05:49] <thoreauputic> CarlFK: see above re: applet
[05:49] <angasule> where can I get a list of supported hardware? I've been searching in the website, wiki, etc, and no luck
[05:49] <thoreauputic> CarlFK: my experience is that pppconfig works better than the network tools here
[05:50] <thoreauputic> CarlFK: if you are using pon/poff, you can make buttons as custom launchers for the commands
[05:50] <Hieronymus> angasule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[05:50] <CarlFK> thoreauputic - is "dialup applet" the "modem monitor" ?
[05:50] <angasule> thanks, Hieronymus
[05:51] <thoreauputic> CarlFK: I expect so - I'm in fluxbox atm so I can't check - try it and see
[05:52] <CarlFK> I did - "modem monitor" (which I think used to be modem lights) requires sudo even to just connect
[05:52] <ollie> is there a way to specify a video driver to use when installing or running the livecd?  I'm trying to figure out how to get my geforce 5500 detected.  or do I just do it after the fact?
[05:52] <thoreauputic> CarlFK: are your users in the groups I meantioned?
[05:52] <NoUse> ollie I don't think nvidia drivers can be included in the live CD due to licensing issues
[05:53] <thoreauputic> *mentioned
[05:53] <CarlFK> thoreauputic - ill try the pon/off way now - I keep avoiding it cuz I figured there was a gui thing hiding somewhere
[05:53] <CarlFK> thoreauputic... hmm, let me confirm the group thign.. brb
[05:53] <ollie> NoUse: but should it work at all?  the wiki page says to use synaptic to install the driver, but using synaptic would suggest x is running ;-)
[05:54] <Erillinen> Umm, is there way to make key shortcuts for launching programs?
[05:54] <thoreauputic> CarlFK: it's pretty straightforward (  sudo pppconfig  )
[05:54] <CarlFK> is there a shell command to display what groups a user is in?
[05:54] <Erillinen> Or how to configure them?
[05:54] <CarlFK> other than grep /etc/passwd
[05:54] <thoreauputic> CarlFK: id or groups
[05:55] <thoreauputic> CarlFK: as the user concerned, of course
[05:55] <Erillinen> Is there way to make shortcuts for programs?
[05:55] <CarlFK> Erillinen - yes.
[05:56] <CarlFK> Erillinen - right click the launcher bar
[05:56] <twibbler> can someone recommend which package to install to monitor and configure blue tooth devices such as mobile phone, pda, headset etc ... via a usb dongle ..
[05:56] <thoreauputic> CarlFK: I think he wants keyboard shortcuts
[05:56] <Erillinen> Yeah, keyboard shortcuts are what i ment.
[05:56] <Erillinen> I'm sorry for using wrong term.
[05:57] <CarlFK> twibbler - BT is cutting edge, so be ready for "fun"
[05:57] <CarlFK> oh yeah.. you did say "key" but I read too fast and missed it
[05:57] <AzCowboy> Can Someone help me with a simple bash script?  Or rather, the proper syntax for IF
[05:57] <NoUse> ollie yeah it should at least give you 2d functionality
[05:58] <twibbler> CarlFK: you mean BT package ?...
[05:58] <CarlFK> AzCowboy - http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/index.html (I hit that every few days )
[05:58] <ollie> NoUse: ok, thanks -- will file a bug
[05:58] <AzCowboy> Thanks, CarlFK.  That will help.
[05:58] <CarlFK> twibbler - yes - I only have a BT headset and have only looked at BT support for about 20 min...
[05:59] <twibbler> CarlFK: I see ... I have O2 headset .....
[05:59] <OneSeventeen> I'd like to set up multiple users on one Ubuntu machine, meaning like 4 monitors, 4 mice, 4 keyboards, 1 PC.  Are there any apps out there to do this?
[05:59] <Erillinen> So, does anyone know answer for my problem?
[06:00] <CarlFK> twibbler - not saying it wont' work, i just quickly decided I didn't have time.  I should really stop promicing friends that I will do things for them ;)
[06:00] <lexmark22> lol, its tough enough to get ubuntu working right on one machine
[06:01] <thoreauputic> OneSeventeen: it's possible, of course - but I think you would need a number of utilities to do it, and some configuration
[06:01] <twibbler> CarlFK: Are that old chestnut .... I have bluetooth manager installed and can find all the devices but configuring them looks very daunting after looking at google etc ...
[06:01] <topyli> Erillinen: in modern gnome there's no obvious way to define arbitrary commands to keys. you can do it in gconf-editor though
[06:01] <Fabse> what do i have to do to register a ttf font file with the font server (under breezy)
[06:01] <gigaclon> how can I kill and restart ALSA?
[06:02] <Erillinen> topyli: Ok, thanks, so I let it be.
[06:02] <thoreauputic> OneSeventeen: from memory, the getty program would be involved ( man getty)
[06:02] <topyli> Erillinen: that's the spirit :)
[06:03] <thoreauputic> gigaclon: sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart
[06:03] <Erillinen> Dont want to break anything, took me enough effort to get this working at all :)
[06:03] <Desdinova> are there any caveats to installing ubuntu to a USB device?
[06:03] <Desdinova> or can I just have it plugged in and install to it as I would any other drive?
[06:04] <Fabse> what do i have to do to register a ttf font file with the font server (under breezy)
[06:05] <OneSeventeen> thoreauputic: thanks, I'll look into the getty thing
[06:05] <thoreauputic> Fabse: if it's the same as Hoary, type fonts:/// in the nautlus location bar
[06:05] <thoreauputic> Fabse: and drop the fonts there
[06:05] <Fabse> okay
[06:06] <thoreauputic> OneSeventeen: I think what you want is fairly complicated to set up - there's a company that does this with linux - forget the name
[06:07] <thoreauputic> OneSeventeen: google "multi monitor tty logins " or something, perhaps ( haven't tried it )
[06:08] <othernoob> free Opera today :) http://my.opera.com/community/party/reg.dml
[06:09] <Jester> Is there a package with 32 bits SDL libs ?
[06:10] <CarlFK> OneSeventeen - I have heard of that beging done with ubuntu - like 6+months ago, for free
[06:10] <thoreauputic> OneSeventeen: this might be something like it: http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/docs/HOWTO/other-formats/html_single/XFree-Local-multi-user-HOWTO.html
[06:11] <Erillinen> Has anyone had luck with Inprocomm IPN2220 - WLAN Card?
[06:11] <moogman> Hey all... Just installed Breezy on my laptop and I'm getting an "(EE) No devices detected." error. It is also loading the vmware svga driver, which I find a little strange... Any ideas?
[06:12] <jaje> hi
[06:12] <jaje> i have a problem
[06:12] <Erillinen> If anyone could help me I would be more than happy
[06:12] <CarlFK> moogman -  post details to http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com
[06:12] <jaje> when i tried to install Intel536EP driver
[06:12] <jaje> ubuntu said me:
[06:12] <jaje> Module precompile check
[06:12] <jaje> Current running kernel is: 2.6.10-5-386
[06:12] <jaje> pleas install kernel source
[06:12] <jaje> lib/modules ... autoconf.h does not exist
[06:13] <jaje> pleas install kernel source
[06:13] <jaje> what can I do to fix that ?????
[06:13] <moogman> CarlFK: Ok, thanks.
[06:13] <kemik> jaje:  apt get it
[06:13] <jaje> kemik: what?
[06:13] <kemik> !kernel-source
[06:13] <ubotu> kemik: NO SPEAKE ENLISH!
[06:13] <kemik> !kernelsource
[06:13] <ubotu> kemik: What?
[06:14] <kemik> arggh
[06:14] <thoreauputic> jaje:  sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[06:14] <kemik> thoreauputic triggers on the bot too ;)
[06:14] <jaje> i did it
[06:14] <Erillinen> Has anyone had luck with Inprocomm IPN2220 - WLAN Card? Didnt find anything with google.
[06:14] <jaje> what uname -r means?
[06:15] <thoreauputic> jaje: type it to see
[06:15] <CarlFK> jaje - man uname
[06:15] <thoreauputic> jaje: it identifies your kernel
[06:15] <Hieronymus> I'm looking for a graphical utility to manage LVM (Logical volume manager).
[06:15] <Hieronymus> Anyone know of such a thing?
[06:15] <jaje> thoreauputic: and your are sure that it will install autoconf.h ??
[06:16] <thoreauputic> jaje: the error you are getting suggests you need the kernel headers
[06:16] <Quincy_freal_is_> can someone help me log in as root
[06:16] <thoreauputic> jaje: so use the command I gave ( literally)
[06:16] <thoreauputic> !root
[06:16] <ubotu> it has been said that root is disabled in Ubuntu, you can read all about it on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo
[06:16] <jaje> literally?
[06:17] <Arsonide> You use sudo for everything.
[06:17] <thoreauputic> jaje: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[06:17] <CarlFK> apokryphos - I think it does somewhere in the setup - it just isn't big enough
[06:18] <thoreauputic> apokryphos: a big red flashing screen maybe :)
[06:18] <ubuntuguy> anyone: does anyone know how to turn on the sshd at boot time?
[06:18] <kemik> think is says so when adding the first user ?
[06:18] <darkheart> Where's the site w/ Ubuntu packages? Thought it was packages.ubuntulinux.org
[06:18] <kemik> if it doesnt, it really should :)
[06:18] <apokryphos> CarlFK: I must've missed it too
[06:18] <thoreauputic> ubuntuguy: it runs by default
[06:18] <apokryphos> thoreauputic: I'm thinking with little smilie pacman-men running about, definitely!
[06:18] <kemik> i'm even using sudo on my debian boxes now ;)
[06:19] <Quincy_freal_is_> ok...another question...when I try to access things like "Login screen setup" I get messages like "Child terminated with 1 status"
[06:19] <Arsonide> Is there a package tutorial somewhere? Everybody keeps telling me to get this package from different places and install it in different ways...I don't know if I'm installing the right thing, the right way, and after it's installed I don't know how to find it.
[06:19] <thoreauputic> !sources
[06:19] <ubotu> sources are at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969
[06:19] <ubuntuguy> thoreauputic: I'm getting connection refused?
[06:19] <apokryphos> Arsonide: of course that depends on what you're trying to install
[06:19] <kemik> Quincy_freal_is_:  exit status 1 usually means there's an error ;)
[06:19] <Arsonide> Say for instance I use synaptic to install freeciv, where did it go?
[06:19] <Arsonide> It says it finished successfully...but where is it? lol
[06:19] <apokryphos> !info freeciv
[06:19] <ubotu> freeciv: (transitional dummy package which can be safely removed), section universe/games, is optional. Version: 1.14.2-1 (hoary), Packaged size: 10 kB, Installed size: 40 kB
[06:19] <Quincy_freal_is_> I've been getting that for everything...how do I fix it?
[06:19] <apokryphos> Arsonide: it's in Universe.
[06:20] <thoreauputic> ubuntuguy: ps aux | grep ssh  on the server to see if it's running
[06:20] <Erillinen> !info Inprocomm IPN2220
[06:20] <apokryphos> Arsonide: it's probably in the menus somewhere
[06:20] <apokryphos> Arsonide: or, most likely you can do alt+f2 -> freeciv
[06:20] <thoreauputic> ubuntuguy: or just  pgrep sshd
[06:20] <Arsonide> where is universe
[06:20] <apokryphos> Arsonide: uncomment the line with "Universe" in it, in /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:21] <NoUse> !tell Arsonide about repositories
[06:21] <ubuntuguy> I'm only getting /usr/bin/ssh-agent
[06:21] <Arsonide> I messed up that file
[06:21] <apokryphos> Arsonide: you've already done that though if it said that it installed successfully
[06:21] <apokryphos> !sources
[06:21] <ubotu> sources are at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969
[06:21] <apokryphos> Arsonide: you can use the one there, then.
[06:21] <lancer285> hey guys, is there a way to tell Gnome Torrent which ports to use? I'm only getting abou 40Kb download
[06:21] <Arsonide> The sources.info, I copied a sample source.info into mine and everything went to hell.
[06:21] <Arsonide> That's the one I used, from the wiki.
[06:21] <apokryphos> lancer285: that app is useless :P
[06:21] <thoreauputic> ubuntuguy: have you installed openssh-server ? If not, do so
[06:22] <lancer285> apokryphos hehe, okay which do you reccomend??
[06:22] <apokryphos> Arsonide: use the one from the pastebin there
[06:22] <apokryphos> lancer285: Azureus or KTorrent
[06:22] <ubuntuguy> thoreauputic: can I do that with synaptic package manager?
[06:22] <lancer285> apok, thanks!
[06:22] <thoreauputic> ubuntuguy: sure
[06:23] <apokryphos> lancer285: there's ubuntu repositories for both, should you want them
[06:23] <thoreauputic> ubuntuguy: or just type  sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[06:23] <lancer285> apok, yeah I was about to ask for that.
[06:23] <__filip_> what is the big diffrent between debbian and ubuntu? i am running ubuntu now and wonder to change to debian bacause that is the orginall? so what is better in ubuntu?
[06:23] <apokryphos> ubotu: tell lancer285 about hoary-extras
[06:24] <apokryphos> ubotu: tell lancer285 about ktorrent
[06:24] <funkyHat> what do i need to install go get amarok to support wma?
[06:24] <apokryphos> lancer285: azureus is in hoary-extras
[06:24] <lancer285> sweet, thanks Apok (:
[06:25] <ubuntuguy> thoreauputic: thanks synaptic is working
[06:25] <Erillinen> Does anyone know how to solve WLAN problems with ubuntu? Or where to start?
[06:25] <Arsonide> ok I used the one from the pastebin, I forgot the command to update/install stuff
[06:25] <Arsonide> sudo apt-install (something here)
[06:25] <apokryphos> Arsonide: to refresh apt with the new sources: sudo apt-get update
[06:25] <thoreauputic> ubuntuguy: you should find sshd will be running after installation - pgrep sshd should show a number
[06:26] <apokryphos> to install an application sudo apt-get install {somepackage}
[06:26] <kemik> __filip_:  better community
[06:26] <h0sl3r> When I install Ubuntu on a computer using an AMD Athalon 2600 processor, are there any special amd packages I should install on it?
[06:26] <apokryphos> or just use Synaptic, Arsonide, to do both of thsoe.
[06:26] <__filip_> kemik: is that all ?
[06:26] <apokryphos> h0sl3r: AMD-specific kernel
[06:26] <kemik> h0sl3r:  no, not really
[06:26] <apokryphos> h0sl3r: the k7 one
[06:26] <Arsonide> ok now what's the command to get w32codecs using apt?
[06:26] <ubuntuguy> thoreauputic: yes it is, thank you
[06:26] <h0sl3r> ok
[06:26] <Arsonide> (it finished)
[06:26] <jatos> hi
[06:26] <apokryphos> Arsonide: if you've enabled hoary-extras, then you can get it from Synaptic.
[06:26] <thoreauputic> ubuntuguy: no problem - enjoy :)
[06:27] <kemik> __filip_:  no,  but that's an important factor
[06:27] <Arsonide> I see, so apt controls synaptic availability? Cause it wasn't in there earlier.
[06:27] <apokryphos> Arsonide: kind of. Synaptic is just a GUI front-end to APT.
[06:28] <h0sl3r> Whats better for mpd server FreeBSD or Ubuntu?
[06:28] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: synaptic is just a pretty front-end for apt :)
[06:28] <Arsonide> When I started synaptic it's asking me to reload my package info.
[06:28] <apokryphos> Arsonide: you can refresh the sources etc from Synaptic, too.
[06:28] <apokryphos> sure
[06:28] <Arsonide> Do it?
[06:28] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: yes
[06:28] <apokryphos> thoreauputic: pretty? ;-)
[06:28] <lancer285> Apokryphos: I got it! thank you very much.
[06:28] <apokryphos> cool =)
[06:28] <Arsonide> Alright, thanks for the answers - I know I have a lot of questions :P
[06:28] <thoreauputic> apokryphos: well, I was tongue-in-cheek ;)
[06:28] <kevko> i tried to install one driver but ubuntu said: unknown distribution. no boot scripts installed
[06:29] <kevko> how can I fix that ???
[06:29] <paganini> Hiya
[06:29] <apokryphos> Arsonide: no worries; we're here to help :)
[06:29] <paganini> I have a question about modems.
[06:29] <Arsonide> I search synaptic for "w32" now and the only thing that comes up is mingw32 and it's stuff.
[06:29] <Arsonide> No w32codecs
[06:29] <NoUse> kevko where did you get that driver?
[06:29] <__filip_> kemik: more then? when i ask in #debian thay sad you only take debian and put in GNOME and some more thinks, so like i see it there is no big diffrent, right?

[06:30] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: you need hoary-extras
[06:30] <paganini> I have a SmartLink software modem. It's supposed to be supported, but the driver installation process isn't doing what it's supposed to.
[06:30] <paganini> I've tried two ways:
[06:30] <chrismy> could anyone tell me how could i check what is my graphics card driver's version?
[06:30] <Arsonide> I search for hoary and nothing comes up either.
[06:30] <apokryphos> Arsonide: you need to add the hoary-extras *repository*
[06:30] <paganini> 1 - I downloaded the smartlink driver packages using Synaptic.
[06:30] <apokryphos> Arsonide: either put it into sources.list or enter it in Synaptic
[06:30] <lancer285> apok, when I hit tab, it selects the items under the chat bar
[06:30] <paganini> 2 - I downloaded the driver sources from SmartLink and compiled them by hand.
[06:30] <thoreauputic> apokryphos: beat me to it :)
[06:30] <Arsonide> Oh, I thought I did that...OH I see it's commented out.
[06:30] <grivell> __filip_: Ubuntu has a more formal "TODO" list than Debian.  And better community ;)
[06:30] <apokryphos> ubotu: tell Arsonide about hoary-extras
[06:30] <kemik> __filip_:  on the outside there' not much else... but you'll have to ask someone else about the more technical changes
[06:30] <paganini> In both cases, the problem is that the /dev/ttySL0 device isn't created.
[06:31] <kemik> __filip_:  i dont really see a point in "going back" to debian tho if you got ubuntu installed now
[06:31] <paganini> the symlink /dev/modem that points to /dev/ttySL0 is created. But ttySL0 itself is not there.
[06:31] <apokryphos> lancer285: for example, type apok-<tab>
[06:31] <kevko> NoUse: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/IntelFiveThreeSixEPModemHowto/
[06:31] <paganini> Has anyone run into this before? If so, were you able to fix it?
[06:32] <lancer285> apok: yeah, it moves my cursor out. I'm using X-chat. Maybe theres an option for it
[06:32] <h0sl3r> Whats better for mpd server FreeBSD or Ubuntu?
[06:32] <grivell> __filip_: Put it this way.  I am use to Debian and have zero problems with it.  So I am not changing what works.  But if I did, Ubuntu would be what I changed to.  (I followed you here from #debian just to see what you would say here).
[06:32] <Arsonide> Alright, I uncommented hoary-extras, updated manually, reloaded in synaptic, and still no w32codecs.
[06:33] <__filip_> grivell: okej i think i will put Debian in my laptop.
[06:33] <lancer285> apokryphos, no big deal. I'll play around with it. thanks
[06:33] <EasterSunshine> i have a problem with dvorak keyboard layout, it works in console and gnome, but not in the welcome screen
[06:33] <lancer285> Easter
[06:33] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: possibly the backports URL has problems
[06:33] <grivell> __filip_: I think you missed the point.  You already have Ubuntu installed ;)
[06:34] <EasterSunshine> so i think i didn't apply it to X, only to gnome...
[06:34] <lancer285> Easter in your xorg.conf file change the keyboard layout to dvorak instead of US
[06:34] <Arsonide> thoreauputic: Something I can't fix?
[06:34] <EasterSunshine> lancer285, let me try that
[06:34] <lancer285> kent, lemme know. I had the same prob
[06:34] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: are you using this? deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-extras main universe multiverse restricted
[06:35] <Arsonide> let me check, sec
[06:35] <__filip_> grivell: yes but i will but Debian on my laptop and see if there is some big diffrent.
[06:35] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: I think the mirrormax url is having issues
[06:35] <funkyHat> is it possible to make amaroK play wma?
[06:35] <Arsonide> yes it's mirrormax.net
[06:35] <Arsonide> ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net
[06:35] <grivell> __filip_:  Ok.
[06:35] <kent> lancer285, talking to me?
[06:35] <Arsonide> Is there a mirror?
[06:35] <grivell> funkyHat: Which engine?  Xine, Arts, Gstreamer?
[06:36] <lancer285> kent, no, for some reason I typed 'kent' instead of 'okay'
[06:36] <thrush> __filip_, why not create two partitions install both that way you always have a spare partition to play with new OSs
[06:36] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: http://backports.ubuntuforums.org/url.php
[06:36] <kent> lancer285, it can happen easely :)
[06:36] <lancer285> kent (:
[06:36] <funkyHat> grivell, ? i have kde sound system set up to use alsa
[06:36] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: mirrors there (listed)
[06:36] <EasterSunshine> lancer285, Option	"XkbLayout" "dvorak" <-- is that sufficient? i don't need like dvorakus or something?
[06:37] <kevko> NoUse: i got that driver from: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/IntelFiveThreeSixEPModemHowto/
[06:37] <grivell> funkyHat: I mean, Amarok can use arts, gstreamer, or xine.  I think default on Ubuntu is arts.  Which I don't think has wma?  Not sure.
[06:37] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: try one of the "other" mirrors
[06:37] <oceandead> whats up with mirrormax ?
[06:37] <Arsonide> I am going to try planetmirror
[06:37] <lancer285> easter lemme check mine and I'll let you know
[06:37] <kevko> NoUse: i got that driver from: http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/IntelFiveThreeSixEPModemHowto/
[06:37] <Arsonide> that's in australia right?
[06:37] <funkyHat> grivell, arts doesn't work here at all...
[06:37] <grivell> funkyHat: But if you switch to xine or gstreamer backend of Amarok, it might have it.
[06:37] <__filip_> thrush: i dont have that much place on my harddrive, i have an partition on 2,5 GB there i have install Puppy.
[06:37] <Quincy_freal_is_> how do I add my user to the "Sudoers" list?
[06:38] <funkyHat> the options for engine are           (blank) and <no engine>
[06:38] <lancer285> Easter: Option		"XkbLayout"	"dvorak"
[06:38] <funkyHat> :S
[06:38] <oceandead> entered in middle of that - curious since thats the one i use for backports as well
[06:38] <Arsonide> awesome that did it
[06:38] <tommi^> Hi. My cable modem connection breaks every now and then, maybe after few hours. I've set the echo-requests to a bit higher count so according to /var/log/messages the reason for connection termination is "No response to 20 echo-requests". What can I do to fix this?
[06:38] <__filip_> nextly never run it.
[06:38] <grivell> funkyHat: I disable arts upon install of kde.  I hate it.  Nothing but a resource hog.  I love xine backend for amarok.  And alsa+dmix.
[06:38] <kevko> i tried to install one driver but ubuntu said: unknown distribution. no boot scripts installed
 how can I fix that ???
[06:38] <kevko> i tried to install one driver but ubuntu said: unknown distribution. no boot scripts installed
 how can I fix that ???
[06:38] <EasterSunshine> lancer285, thx, i'll cross my fingers next time i start X
[06:38] <lancer285> Easter when you restart X, it'll ask you if you want to use the layout specified by X or the one by Gnome
[06:38] <Quincy_freal_is_> anyone...how do I edit the Sudoers list?
[06:38] <kevko>  i tried to install one driver but ubuntu said: unknown distribution. no boot scripts installed
[06:38] <lancer285> Easter: make sure you select the one specified by X
[06:38] <kevko> how can I fix that ???
[06:38] <EasterSunshine> lancer285, took me forever to get my password correct ^_^
[06:39] <funkyHat> i have alsa 1.0.9b (automatic dmix config:)) but i don't seem to have any options for amaroK backend...
[06:39] <Arsonide> Still not there after I updated with Planetmirror.
[06:39] <lancer285> eastr, I know what you mean (: the gnome dvorak layout is missing some keys. I couldn't find the |
[06:39] <Arsonide> It did download something.
[06:39] <kevko> CAN SOMEBODU HELP ME ?????????????!??
[06:39] <oceandead> Arsonide: try doing a sudo apt-get update first?
[06:39] <Arsonide> yeah I did that
[06:39] <oceandead> doh!
[06:40] <EasterSunshine> lancer285, you have a | in your password?!
[06:40] <Arsonide> I'll keep trying mirrors.
[06:40] <funkyHat> * grivell, ^
[06:40] <__filip_> yarrgh now i get that PM again about free webcam sex!
[06:40] <lancer285> Easter No, but when I would try to do |more or something, the key didn't exist. Gnome uses a funky dvorak layout
[06:40] <tommi^> kevko, provide more details
[06:40] <grivell> funkyHat: 1 sec.  I have ubuntu on a usb hd.  chrooting
[06:40] <paganini> Arsonide, you have http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ listed in your repositories in Synaptic?
[06:41] <paganini> Because w32codecs shows up there for me.
[06:41] <Arsonide> No, I am trying other mirrors now.
[06:41] <oceandead> same here
[06:41] <kevko> i tried to install one driver but ubuntu said: unknown distribution. no boot scripts installed
[06:41] <tommi^> kevko, no one likes if you shout out and repeat the same text over and over. What driver?
[06:41] <Arsonide> What does Get, Ign, Get, Ign, Get, Ign mean, down the left side?
[06:41] <oceandead> Arsonide:  are you looking in the "All" section?
[06:41] <paganini> You should have main universe multiverse restricted listed in your "selections"
[06:42] <Arsonide> Yeah I do a search
[06:42] <grivell> funkyHat: amarok-xine is in univeral
[06:42] <kevko> tommi: driver for Intel536EP
[06:42] <grivell> funkyHat: universe even :)
[06:42] <tommi^> kevko, everybody got the point when you first wrote that but you really need to tell us more so we can help
[06:42] <kevko>  http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/IntelFiveThreeSixEPModemHowto/
[06:43] <Arsonide> I think it has something to do with the errors going down the left side.
[06:43] <Arsonide> Get Ign, Get Ign, Get Ign.
[06:43] <Arsonide> Hit Hit Hit on the ones that do work.
[06:43] <tommi^> kevko, okay. At what point you get that error?
[06:43] <funkyHat> thanks grivell :)
[06:43] <kevko> tommi: make install
[06:43] <funkyHat> will it now add wma files to it's library?
[06:43] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: it seems the backports are being "ignored" ( tried it here)
[06:43] <lancer285> apokryphos, how do I specify the port range for azureus??
[06:43] <CarlFK> thoreauputic... duh. what were the groups I shoudl add the user to for dialup (what you said has scrolled off my buffer
[06:44] <thoreauputic> CarlFK: dip  and  dialout
[06:44] <CarlFK> thanks
[06:44] <Arsonide> So it's not a problem on my end?
[06:44] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: no
[06:44] <grivell> funkyHat: So you found it?  You have to select it in Amarok's config as well.  And a "Kaffeine-Xine" backend exists as well.
[06:44] <paganini> w32codecs is definitely there.
[06:44] <Arsonide> Any way around it?
[06:44] <paganini> apt-get can read it from my machine.
[06:45] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: the server is misconfigured, or they are changing something - I don't know
[06:45] <oceandead> i can see w32codecs as well
[06:45] <Arsonide> Kaffeine Xine?
[06:45] <tommi^> kevko, good, you are making progress in telling us details. A quick look up at that document doesn't show make install command. Are you sure you are following exactly documentation?
[06:45] <paganini> From my terminal:
[06:45] <tommi^> kevko, and you running the command as a root or with sudo command?
[06:45] <paganini> paganini@CRTBOX:~$ sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[06:45] <paganini> Reading package lists... Done
[06:45] <paganini> Building dependency tree... Done
[06:45] <paganini> w32codecs is already the newest version.

[06:46] <ubotu> from memory, pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl
[06:46] <lancer285> can anyone help me get Azureus working properly??
[06:46] <thoreauputic> paganini: are you using hoary-extras? do you get an "ign" on apt-get update?
[06:46] <oceandead> i get the ign thing too though
[06:46] <thoreauputic> right
[06:46] <kevko> tommi: yes, I am
[06:46] <thoreauputic> oceandead: OK you confirmed it
[06:47] !lilo:*! Restarting the testnet....
[06:47] <paganini> Thoreauputic: Yeah, I do.
[06:47] <paganini> But, my package lists are up to date from the other day.
[06:47] <tommi^> kevko, is that yes, i am  following the documentation or yes, I'm running it as root or sudo?
[06:47] <thoreauputic> so backports is b0rked atm it seems
[06:47] <paganini> It doesn't seem like the actual servers are messed up, just the database listing.
[06:47] <djm62> how is breezy atm? "interesting"?
[06:47] <Arsonide> So what mirror are you guys suggesting for hoary extras?
[06:47] <grivell> funkyHat: Switch engines in Amarok and see if it adds wma to list.  Arts can't play wma.  I think Xine can, but if it doesn't, Gstreamer.
[06:48] <paganini> If you already have mirrormax in your repositories list, w32codecs should still install, I think.
[06:48] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: I tried two - both return "ign"
[06:48] <apokryphos> lancer285: in Tools -> Configuration?
[06:48] <Arsonide> Yeah I tried 3.
[06:48] <EasterSunshine> i need help formatting a ext3fs into a clean empty ext3fs, `cfdisk` returns: FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive
[06:48] <oceandead> unmount it first?
[06:48] <apokryphos> Arsonide: the mirrormax one generally always works
[06:48] <EasterSunshine> oceandead, it is not mounted
[06:48] <Arsonide> So...wait it out?
[06:49] <thoreauputic> apokryphos: it's returning an "ign" on update
[06:49] <apokryphos> thoreauputic: ign?
[06:49] <kevko> tommi: i'm running it like root. i follow the documentation
[06:49] <CarlFK> thoreauputic... user was allready in dip and dialup (default for breezy) which btw is what the "user can connect to the Net via modem" and "user can use modem" check boxes are for in Admin, Users, User Privs
[06:49] <apokryphos> lancer285: tools -> Option, that's it
[06:49] <EasterSunshine> oceandead, and i didn't even specify that disk for cfdisk
[06:50] <paganini> Arsonide, have you tried just downloading the package by itself?
[06:50] <paganini> Like, from an RPM server or something?
[06:50] <lancer285> apok okay. it seems that it lets me TEST the ports. is that telling it which one I wanna use??
[06:50] <paganini> I.e., from another distro?
[06:50] <Arsonide> paganini: I don't know how.
[06:50] <apokryphos> Arsonide: what is it you're trying to get?
[06:50] <cloned> can anyone point me to a step by step guide on how to get and amd x2 chip working 100% under hoary 5.04 none of the posts on the forum are any help for this n00b
[06:50] <funkyHat> grivell, it hasn't added them to my library, i'll try gstreamer
[06:50] <Arsonide> w32codecs
[06:51] <kent> Has any one else noticed that rhythmbox crashes on breezy? (I know its expected on a devel-branch..)
[06:51] <CarlFK> thoreauputic - so is pup/pdown the next thing I should try?
[06:51] <oceandead> i switched back from breezy after some testing
[06:51] <thoreauputic> CarlFK: umm  -  pon / poff
[06:51] <apokryphos> Arsonide: did you add    deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ hoary-extras main universe multiverse restricted
[06:51] <CarlFK> thoreauputic - that explains why I couldn't find pup
[06:51] <thoreauputic> heheh
[06:51] <CarlFK> no pong either...
[06:52] <funkyHat> i played about with gtk-qt and decided i didn't like it so i got rid of it, it broke stuff but i eventually got round most of it, but now some of my fonts are huge. how can i fix it?
[06:52] <funkyHat> (it's not in fonts preferences, i've tried that)
[06:52] <paganini> Arsonide, go here
[06:52] <paganini> http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/dists/hoary-extras/restricted/binary-i386/
[06:52] <apokryphos> funkyHat: in KDE?
[06:52] <paganini> You can download it by hand.
[06:52] <funkyHat> apokryphos, no, i use gnome
[06:52] <Arsonide> apokryphos: That mirror is broken it seems.
[06:52] <paganini> then you can do sudo apt-get install ~/w32codecs I think
[06:52] <thoreauputic> CarlFK: if you specified a provider, it's  pon <providername> without the  <>
[06:52] <tommi^> kevko, I'm not sure what could be causing that. Have tried doing it again from clean directory? Also, you really need to learn to help yourself. 1) Provide more information 2) Be accurate 3) Don't repeat yourself 4) DONT SHOUT - you'll get kicked and nobody wants to help ya.
[06:52] <apokryphos> funkyHat: the gtk-qt package doesn't touch what gtk apps look like in gnome
[06:52] <EasterSunshine> can i just rm -rf the root of an ext3 drive and expect it to be as if it was formatted?
[06:52] <lancer285> apok Azureus keeps saying I have updates to install, but it won't install them
[06:52] <apokryphos> Arsonide: works fine, it seems.
[06:53] <apokryphos> lancer285: ok, ignore the updates for now then
[06:53] <paganini> You might need to use dpkg. I'm not sure about installing from local packages.
[06:53] <lancer285> apok okay
[06:53] <Arsonide> I dunno that's what thoreauputic told me.
[06:53] <funkyHat> well either way... my fonts are big and i want them smaller :(
[06:53] <apokryphos> lancer285: also, <tab> shouldn't do anything with your mouse in IRC... it's used to autocomplete nicks
[06:53] <apokryphos> I'm sure xchat does it by default
[06:53] <lancer285> apok test
[06:53] <apokryphos> apok<tab> ....then type
[06:54] <Angel-SL> apokryphos:
[06:54] <lancer285> apok I do get an error when I open Xchat saying 'unable to load the key bindings'
[06:54] <apokryphos> ta-da!
[06:54] <apokryphos> Not sure if that could affect it; don't use xchat, but I know that should work by default
[06:54] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: for w32codecs, paganini 's suggestion should work - download it manually, then use  sudo dpkg -i w32codecs
[06:54] <Angel-SL> apok<TAB>
[06:55] <Arsonide> Alright, thanks.
[06:55] <Arsonide> Still not sure what exactly is wrong with the mirrors. apokryphos says they work
[06:55] <apokryphos> Arsonide: what error do you get?
[06:55] <Arsonide> No errors, it just ignores the files and moves on.
[06:56] <lancer285> apok I dunno, I'm trying to do it just like I would in a terminal, but it keeps selecting the side bar
[06:56] <thoreauputic> apokryphos: I think the packages file is broken
[06:56] <apokryphos> Arsonide: ignores... saying what?
[06:56] <apokryphos> thoreauputic: it would surely say so, then.
[06:56] <paganini> Hey, does Ubuntu have built-in LT Winmodem support?
[06:56] <oceandead> ha
[06:57] <Arsonide> dpkg: error processing w32codecs_20050216-0.0_i386.deb (--install):

[06:57] <CarlFK> wow - "modem monitor" uses about 20% of my P2-333's cpu.  Is there a way I can get stats on something like that over some amount of time? (like a min or 2)
[06:57] <Arsonide> Forgot my system was 64 bit :/
[06:57] <Arsonide> lol
[06:57] <apokryphos> Arsonide: that is an error :)
[06:57] <CarlFK> paganini - sortof
[06:57] <thoreauputic> apokryphos: when you do "apt-get update" it returns "Ign: <url here> "
[06:57] <apokryphos> that pacakge isn't available for amd64, but......
[06:57] <apokryphos> !w32codecs
[06:57] <EasterSunshine> CarlFK, do `top` in a terminal
[06:57] <CarlFK> paganini - it is in either restricted or universe
[06:57] <apokryphos> gah
[06:57] <apokryphos> Arsonide: See: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=54399
[06:57] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: oh dear
[06:58] <paganini> oceandead: I used to do that. Until I spent $80 on a "real" USR modem that refuses to connect above 31.2, when my winmodem negotiats 56k connections every time.
[06:58] <paganini> Carl: How bad is "sort of?"
[06:58] <CarlFK> EasterSunshine - thats where I saw "20% perl" but it was jumping around from 15 to 35 - so I was wondering what it was
[06:58] <oceandead> yeah luckily i have an external serial usr
[06:58] <Arsonide> thoreauputic: was that my problem?
[06:58] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: the "32" in w32codecs is a bit of a giveaway, isn't it
[06:58] <CarlFK> paganini - "sort of" = you need to do stuff
[06:58] <paganini> Sort of, as in, it says it works, but when you actually try to install it it doesn't install the device? (That's what it's doing with my smartlink modem ATM)
[06:59] <oceandead> itd still be nice to get the built in modem working but
[06:59] <Arsonide> Well I assumed it worked kind of like Windows does.
[06:59] <oceandead> i think the farthest ive gotten was i got it to dial out n such - but wouldnt connect
[06:59] <Arsonide> It's 32 bit
[06:59] <paganini> Someone needs to invent a LINMODEM
[06:59] <paganini> You know, costs around $5, connects at 56k as soon as you plug it in.
[06:59] <apokryphos> Arsonide: check the link I gave you; it provides a workaround
[07:00] <Arsonide> I know, looking at it now - will I have this problem a lot?
[07:00] <apokryphos> what problem exactly?
[07:00] <EasterSunshine> $ fdisk /dev/hda gives me Unable to open /dev/hda
[07:00] <apokryphos> packages only for i386?
[07:00] <Arsonide> Yeah
[07:00] <apokryphos> Main problem is flash and w32codecs, really...
[07:00] <sorush20> guys I keep getting this error can someone help me fix it..sam@ubuntu:~$ dmesg | tail APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)
[07:00] <apokryphos> not enough to put me off in the slightest, at least. :)
[07:01] <Arsonide> The next 6 month update carry any hope?
[07:01] <oceandead> hda# ?
[07:01] <black_13> how do add the union fs kernel module to a 2.6 kernel
[07:01] <apokryphos> Arsonide: for flash: no; for w32codecs -> who knows.
[07:01] <thoreauputic> paganini: it's called Second Hand Serial Modem on ebay ;-)
[07:01] <EasterSunshine> oceandead, still same errer
[07:01] <oceandead> eh - try qparted
[07:02] <apokryphos> oceandead: gparted
[07:02] <lancer285> apokryphos, it was the key bindings (:
[07:02] <apokryphos> (well, or qtparted)
[07:02] <lancer285> apokryphos,  apokryphos
[07:02] <paganini> Hehe toreauptic!
[07:02] <lancer285> woot
[07:02] <oceandead> meant qt, sorry
[07:02] <apokryphos> lancer285: excellent :)
[07:02] <apokryphos> lancer285: what did you alter?
[07:02] <lancer285> apokryphos, all my permissions in my .xchat2 dir were set to 501 (from mandrake)
[07:03] <apokryphos> ah
[07:03] <oceandead> geez, ya miss one letter ...
[07:03] <lancer285> apokryphos, I just had to do a chown on those dirs
[07:03] <oceandead> ;)
[07:03] <apokryphos> oceandead: in the ghetto dat wud get u shot innit
[07:03] <oceandead> hahaha
[07:03] <apokryphos> lancer285: you should own everything in your ~
[07:03] <lancer285> EasterSunshine, did you get the dvorak layout working?
[07:03] <EasterSunshine> lancer285, haven't restarted yet
[07:04] <lancer285> apokryphos, for some reason, I've had to go in and manually change from 501 to lancer285 on most of my dirs as needed
[07:04] <apokryphos> lancer285: did you do a recursive chown?
[07:04] <apokryphos> chown -R lancer285:lancer285 ~
[07:04] <Arsonide> bash: totem-xine: command not found (after I ran sudo apt-get install xine-ui ; totem-xine)
[07:05] <lancer285> apokryphos, when in my /home/lancer285 I did: sudo chown -R lancer285:lancer285
[07:05] <Arsonide> I assume that means I'm about to embark upon another 3 hour long quest.
[07:05] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: just type "totem"
[07:05] <lancer285> apokryphos, it did MOST of the files and dirs, but not all for some reason
[07:05] <apokryphos> Arsonide: totem-xine is something for totem to use xine, IIRC. Not an executable.
[07:05] <Arsonide> I'll assume it is working and move on.
[07:05] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: when totem starts, go to "about" and you'll see it's totem-xine
[07:05] <ohphracku> i like gxine
[07:05] <apokryphos> lancer285: with ./*  on the end right?
[07:06] <AristoMagnus> http://www.linux-watch.com/news/NS8124627492.html  Nice one :P
[07:06] <funkyHat> these massive fonts are more than a little bit annoying now
[07:06] <lancer285> apokryphos, no, haha, thats prolly the prob (::
[07:06] <lancer285> apokryphos, I just did that, it seemed to work (:
[07:06] <funkyHat> the one i'm typing in in X-Chat is one (the room is big though, and all the text in gnome-panel
[07:07] <EasterSunshine> an empty ext3 is 334 megs?
[07:07] <apokryphos> cool
[07:07] <charlesg3> I'm having a bit of trouble with the nvidia driver and breezy
[07:07] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: if that was your actual apt-get command, it's wrong BTW
[07:07] <ginvent> Can someone help me get my .htaccess working. I saw on google a fix, but it didn't work.
[07:07] <AristoMagnus> charlesg3: recompile the module with the nvidia-source
[07:07] <EasterSunshine> i mean like there is nothing on it, but df says 33 megs used and gparted says 334 megs used
[07:08] <thoreauputic> Arsonide: sudo apt-get install totem-xine && totem
[07:08] <sorush20> which linux distro supports sony handycams
[07:08] <charlesg3> so I use apt-get install nvidia-source? where does it put it...in /usr/src/linux?
[07:08] <AristoMagnus> yep
[07:08] <AristoMagnus> nvidia-glx-source i think
[07:08] <AristoMagnus> search with apt-cache search nvidia
[07:09] <charlesg3> nvidia-kernel-source
[07:09] <lotusleaf> I'm compiling k3b 0.12.3 on a Ubuntu Hoary box and following ./configure it says 'Resmgr support: no', how do I enable this? I couldn't find resmgr at packages.ubuntu.com, should I install the debian package from here?: http://packages.debian.org/unstable/admin/resmgr
[07:09] <AristoMagnus> yep
[07:09] <AristoMagnus> thats correct
[07:09] <AristoMagnus> nvidia-kernel-source
[07:10] <apokryphos> lotusleaf: why compiling?
[07:10] <thoreauputic> lotusleaf: any particular reason yo are compiling it?
[07:10] <thoreauputic> apokryphos: heh
[07:10] <lotusleaf> apokryphos + thoreauputic: because I want the latest version of k3b which isn't backported yet :)
[07:10] <thoreauputic> OK
[07:10] <lotusleaf> do I need resmgr?
[07:10] <lotusleaf> or will it compile and work well without it?
[07:10] <apokryphos> lotusleaf: did it error out after that/
[07:11] <lotusleaf> apokryphos, I haven't make && make install yet
[07:11] <Arsonide> tar: /usr/lib/win32: Not found in archive
[07:11] <Arsonide> tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[07:11] <Arsonide> I just made the directory, what gives.
[07:11] <apokryphos> !find resmgr
[07:11] <ubotu> Ubuntu Search of 'resmgr' (1 shown): (/usr/share/selinux/policy/default/macros/program/resmgrd_macros.te) in universe/admin/selinux-policy-default.
[07:11] <apokryphos> hm, seems to only be in breezy
[07:11] <geneo93> anyone know if breezy is going to move to 2.6.13 kernel
[07:11] <apokryphos> lotusleaf: well, did the configure fail?
[07:11] <apokryphos> geneo93: probably not, it only just came out ;-)
[07:11] <lotusleaf> apokryphos, no :) I was just curious if I needed that, since it sounded important
[07:12] <lotusleaf> apokryphos, could this be backported?
[07:12] <funkyHat> geneo93, probably not, ubuntu releases are nearly all stable software
[07:12] <thoreauputic> geneo93: 2.6.12 afaik
[07:12] <apokryphos> lotusleaf: ./configure should give several things that says :no for, doesn't it?
[07:12] <apokryphos> lotusleaf: unlikely; it will definitely be for breezy though
[07:12] <lotusleaf> apokryphos, thanks for checking ; yes it says a few no's but when I googled for resmgr it sounded very important
[07:13] <lotusleaf> apokryphos, my guess is that I don't need it? :)
[07:13] <apokryphos> if the configure didn't fail -- then no.
[07:13] <lotusleaf> apokryphos, very well, thanks for your help! :)
[07:13] <thoreauputic> lotusleaf: if it compiles, great - if it runs, even better ;-)
[07:13] <lotusleaf> thoreauputic, thanks, and thank you for your help! :)
[07:13] <lancer285> apokryphos, my upload speed is about 94K, but my download is only 50K. I've had it as fast as 150K w/ other clients. Any ideas??
[07:13] <thoreauputic> np
[07:14] <apokryphos> lancer285: of course it depends on the torrent, how long you've been connected, active peers etc
[07:14] <Arsonide> Extracting them using the gui says I don't have permission, extracting them with terminal brings up another cryptic error.
[07:14] <apokryphos> lancer285: check that your upload speed isn't choking the download, too
[07:14] <lancer285> apokryphos, okay.
[07:15] <apokryphos> lancer285: I've had as fast as 600Kb/s, so it's not a restriction from the client, at least ;-)
[07:15] <lancer285> apokryphos, okay.
[07:15] <geneo93> Linux ubuntu 2.6.12-7-686-smp #1 SMP Fri Aug 19 13:27:27 UTC 2005 i686 GNU/Linux  thats what i have now
[07:16] <unvs_> is kernelupgrading with ubuntu a pain in the neck or relatively painless?
[07:16] <ezerhoden> Arsonide, what are you extracting and what command are you using?
[07:17] <Arsonide> I'm extracting a tar with the codecs in it to /usr/lib/win32, command I'm using is... sudo tar jxvf essential-20050412.tar.bz2 /usr/lib/win32
[07:17] <paganini> I think you need tar -jxvf
[07:17] <paganini> ;)
[07:17] <geneo93> unvs_:  look in backports
[07:18] <ginvent> Anyone use apache2?
[07:18] <Stormx2> How do I CHMOD all files in a directory to 777?
[07:18] <AristoMagnus> 2.6.12 is now stable?
[07:18] <ginvent> I need help setting up my .htaccess
[07:18] <Arsonide> tar: /usr/lib/win32: Not found in archive
[07:18] <charlesg3> chmod -R 777 ./*
[07:18] <Arsonide> After adding the - paganini
[07:18] <Stormx2> cheers
[07:18] <AristoMagnus> dont do that !
[07:18] <paganini> Hmm.
[07:19] <thrush> Stormx2, that would be bad
[07:19] <geneo93> 2.6.13 is stable
[07:19] <darkheart> paganini You don't need - for tar switches
[07:19] <paganini> Darkheart, really?
[07:19] <slibs> hi
[07:19] <paganini> That is cool.
[07:19] <charlesg3> yeah it works iwth the - anyway
[07:19] <ezerhoden> does that directory already exist?
[07:19] <darkheart> paganini Yeah, tar xvjf is same as tar -xvjf
[07:19] <ezerhoden> Arsonide, does that directory already exist?
[07:19] <paganini> Nifty
[07:19] <vices> i'm trying to change my resolution but all it shows is 640x480, does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?
[07:19] <darkheart> paganini Kinda like ps =)
[07:19] <Arsonide> yeah I used mkdir
[07:20] <Arsonide> I went in with the file browser and opened it to make sure.
[07:20] <paganini> BTW, I'm not that familiar with the decompression tools, but don't you need to use gzip on a bz2 file bfore you can untar it?
[07:20] <darkheart> Arsonide What error are you getting? Why don't you cd to the dir you want to extract into, then just run tar xjvf /path/to/essential*.bz2
[07:20] <slibs> i started hl2, and right when it was starded my friend send me a flash file he made, so hl2 minimized somewhere, now i can hear the game sounds, but i have no clue how to get it back, do i have to restart the hole steam, or can i go back with some handy shortcut or something?
[07:20] <charlesg3>  the j switch does the bz2 part of it
[07:20] <paganini> Cool.
[07:20] <Stormx2> OK, How do I CHMOD All files in a directory and subdirectories?
[07:20] <slibs> whole*
[07:20] <Stormx2> (to 777)
[07:20] <ezerhoden> man tar
[07:21] <Arsonide> I'll try that darkheart
[07:21] <Arsonide> sec
[07:21] <darkheart> Stormx2 chmod -R 777 *
[07:21] <charlesg3> Stormx2, like i said earlier chmod -R 777 ./*
[07:21] <Stormx2> I did that
[07:21] <darkheart> Stormx2 Be careful with that though..You can break things like that.
[07:21] <Stormx2> but it didn't work on the files in the subdirectories.
[07:21] <AristoMagnus> -R is for recursive
[07:21] <Stormx2> ....
[07:21] <Arsonide> That did it darkheart.
[07:21] <AristoMagnus> it should goes to the subdir
[07:21] <Stormx2> gah
[07:21] <charlesg3> Stormx2, it should have worked, unless you don't have permissions
[07:21] <paganini> Stormx2, did you do sudo?
[07:21] <Stormx2> I'll try it again.
[07:21] <Stormx2> paganini: No ^_^
[07:22] <paganini> sudo chmod -R 777 ./* will do it to all files.
[07:22] <paganini> But... be carefull.
[07:22] <vices> what's a good default text editor on ubuntu?
[07:22] <darkheart> vices GUI or CLI?
[07:22] <vices> CLI
[07:22] <charlesg3> nano
[07:22] <paganini> nano is cool.
[07:22] <charlesg3> emacs, vi
[07:22] <darkheart> vices I use vi, but there is nano, pico, and other.
[07:22] <Arsonide> is there any way to move the files up to the parent directory in terminal? The file browser says I don't have permission (why is it even there if you can't use it for anything lol)
[07:22] <paganini> vim is powfull, but harder to get the hang of.
[07:22] <slibs> anyone? how to get minimized game back?
[07:22] <vices> thanks, i'll check out vi, for some reason emacs didn't work
[07:23] <ezerhoden> Arsonide, mv is the move command
[07:23] <darkheart> vices emacs is a little too much imo...it's more than just a text editor...it's almost an OS =P
[07:23] <AristoMagnus> lol
[07:23] <AristoMagnus> true
[07:23] <paganini> Yeah, hehe!
[07:23] <Arsonide> I did sudo mv *.* ..
[07:23] <Arsonide> seems to work.
[07:24] <AristoMagnus> want a easy editor, use nano
[07:24] <AristoMagnus> it work great
[07:24] <darkheart> Arsonide *.* will only move files with extensions..not folders or files with no extension.
[07:24] <Arsonide> yeah it didn't move the readme
[07:24] <slibs> can you guys see my text or what, why im being ignored?
[07:24] <Arsonide> How do I delete this directory now?
[07:24] <AristoMagnus> rm -rf
[07:24] <darkheart> Arsonide If you want to move everything then 'sudo mv * ../'
[07:24] <ezerhoden> rmdir if its empty
[07:24] <AristoMagnus> rm -rf  theDir
[07:25] <Arsonide> There.
[07:25] <Arsonide> Next step.
[07:25] <AristoMagnus> ;)
[07:26] <vices> it says my xorg.conf is readonly, is there a -cmd to change that?
[07:26] <wojciechg> Hi everyone. I just installed ubuntu on my laptop, but have no "laptop" options. Is there a package I need to install to get info on my battery, etc?
[07:26] <AristoMagnus> use sudo to edit it
[07:26] <paganini> vices, you don't want to change that.
[07:26] <AristoMagnus> vices: use sudo to edit it
[07:26] <paganini> You want to do sudo gedit /etc/xorg.conf
[07:27] <AristoMagnus> its /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:27] <paganini> Uh, right.
[07:27] <vices> thanks
[07:27] <paganini> *headdesk*
[07:27] <Arsonide> There is no .xine configuration folder.
[07:28] <Arsonide> Ah there, I opened xine and it saved one
[07:28] <paganini> Is there any reason to use XINE instead of TOTEM?
[07:28] <AristoMagnus> use gxine
[07:28] <vices> sudo gedit gets me a GTK error
[07:28] <AristoMagnus> its nice
[07:29] <vices> cannot open display
[07:29] <oceandead> nano
[07:29] <AristoMagnus> u cannot open X windows in root
[07:30] <thoreauputic> AristoMagnus: gxine crashes here if I try top run it fullscreen - totem-xine doesn't
[07:30] <vices> is gedit a GUI editor?
[07:30] <darkheart> vices yes
[07:30] <AristoMagnus> thoreauputic: ok!
[07:30] <thrush> slibs, are you using gnome?
[07:30] <AristoMagnus> g stand for gnome (libraries == GTK)
[07:30] <ginvent> What does this mean: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::] :80
[07:30] <ginvent> no listening sockets available, shutting down
[07:30] <ginvent> Unable to open logs
[07:30] <thoreauputic> AristoMagnus: a pity, because gxine is quite nice otherwise
[07:31] <ginvent> When I run apache2
[07:31] <AristoMagnus> yep
[07:31] <AristoMagnus> totem is great too
[07:31] <NoUse> ginvent something is already using the HTTP port
[07:31] <din> mplayer > *
[07:31] <paganini> For some reason, all my DVDs looked really bad in xine, and they look great in totem.
[07:31] <paganini> Haven't figured that one out yet. Some weird setting I guess.
[07:32] <slibs> thrush, yes
[07:32] <slibs> also i'd like to know how to start games not in fullscreen mode
[07:33] <sorush20> how do I fix this error APIC error on CPU0: 40(40)
[07:33] <xlman> Hello. Sorry. Exist any  irc chat in spanish about ubuntu?
[07:34] <NoUse> !spanish
[07:34] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[07:34] <thrush> slibs, when you alt-tab or look in taskbar the app isnt showing up?
[07:34] <AristoMagnus> NoUse: check with ps if apache or httpd runs
[07:34] <Arsonide> Ok well, totem still can't open anything - but xine can.
[07:34] <Arsonide> :)
[07:34] <xlman> MUchas gracias! Adios!
[07:34] <Arsonide> So far I've tested an avi and a mov file.
[07:34] <chrissturm> how do i best defragment an ext3 partition?
[07:34] <NoUse> AristoMagnus its ginvent that is having the problem, not me
[07:34] <AristoMagnus> Arsonide: its a codecs problem,
[07:34] <paganini> Arsonide, you might need to install the totem-xine package.
[07:35] <paganini> I think totem uses gstreamer by default.
[07:35] <AristoMagnus> :ginvent check with ps if apache or httpd runs
[07:36] <jfosa> fantastic
[07:36] <thoreauputic> chrissturm: you don't need to
[07:36] <Arsonide> awesome totem-xine did it
[07:36] <Arsonide> (I don't like xine that much anyway)
[07:36] <paganini> :)
[07:36] <chrissturm> thoreauputic, i was just waiting for someone to say that. but its not really correct
[07:37] <vices> ubuntu looks really nice
[07:37] <Arsonide> vices: don't be fooled!
[07:37] <Arsonide> lol j/k
[07:37] <AristoMagnus> its the best desktop distro ever, i think
[07:37] <thoreauputic> chrissturm: I haven't defragged a linux filesystem, ever
[07:37] <chrissturm> do i need to copy all files do a different partition and back again?
[07:37] <vices> is the red text when someone says vices: a feature of xchat?
[07:37] <Arsonide> Yeah
[07:37] <darkheart> vices Highlighting..you can edit the options in the option menu =P
[07:37] <thoreauputic> chrissturm: I'm interested to hear why you need to defrag?
[07:38] <vices> xchat is pretty nice :)
[07:38] <chrissturm> thoreauputic, i copied a lot of files to a partition until it was full
[07:38] <vices> what's the command to change my root password?
[07:38] <paganini> These smartlink modem driver sources say that I need the full kernel source tree downloaded and configured for it to work.
[07:38] <paganini> What exactly does "configured" mean?
[07:38] <paganini> I don't use custom kernels.
[07:38] <geneo93> fschk
[07:38] <chrissturm> thoreauputic, once a partition is full the files are guaranteed to be fragmented
[07:39] <deflux-> I'm installing Ubuntu Hoary on my Mac Mini, and it appears that the keyboard mapping is wrong (I can't switch VTY's, can't CTRL+BREAK, etc).
[07:39] <vices> #ubuntu test
[07:39] <deflux-> Not sure how to change the keyboard mapping, how would I do this?
[07:39] <geneo93> paganini:  the one that matches the kernel your using
[07:39] <thoreauputic> chrissturm: OK - I bow to your knowledge :) I haven't come across the problem before
[07:40] <paganini> I'm using 2.6.10-5-686
[07:40] <Arsonide> MP3!
[07:40] <Arsonide> YAY
[07:40] <paganini> And I have the "linux image" and "linux source" packages installed.
[07:40] <paganini> Is that all I need to do?
[07:41] <chrissturm> thoreauputic, :) i know that ext3 is quite good regarding fragmentation, but this is a slow notebook harddisk.
[07:41] <Arsonide> The Application "totem" has quit unexpectedly.
[07:41] <Arsonide> :(
[07:41] <mpmc> How do I install QT?
[07:41] <thoreauputic> chrissturm: if I remember correctly there's a program called " defrag " for ext2 - so maybe you can disable the journal and use that?
[07:41] <geneo93> paganini:  you may need to expand the kernel source
[07:42] <chrissturm> thoreauputic, is it in universe?
[07:42] <funkyHat> mpmc, sudo apt-get install qt
[07:42] <thoreauputic> !info defrag
[07:42] <ubotu> defrag: (ext2, minix and xiafs filesystem defragmenter), section universe/admin, is extra. Version: 0.73pjm1-7 (hoary), Packaged size: 66 kB, Installed size: 208 kB
[07:42] <chrissturm> thx alot!
[07:42] <thoreauputic> chrissturm: yup :)
[07:42] <funkyHat> sorry, that's wrong mpmc ;)
[07:42] <apokryphos> mpmc: QT (quicktime) or Qt (the Q-toolkit)?
[07:43] <apokryphos> I guess you probably want the Qt-includes, too...
[07:43] <mpmc> http://www.last.fm/forum/21714/_/47701
[07:43] <mpmc> no idea :P
[07:43] <mpmc> I'm trying to get the last.fm player to work
[07:44] <Frafra> hi all
[07:44] <funkyHat> mpmc, sudo apt-get install libqt3c102-mt
[07:44] <ginvent> How do I figure out what is doing this: (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::] :80
[07:44] <thoreauputic> chrissturm:  tune2fs I think ( to change the journal)
[07:44] <Frafra> how to install winmodem drivers?
[07:44] <apokryphos> barely understand what's happening there. If they're referring to Qt, then qt 3.x is hardly bleeding edge
[07:44] <apokryphos> !qt
[07:44] <ubotu> apokryphos: I don't know, could you explain it?
[07:44] <ginvent> lsof what?
[07:45] <apokryphos> gah
[07:45] <apokryphos> !qt #del#
[07:45] <ubotu> Qt is the Q-toolkit. Qt is to KDE what GTK is to GNOME. For the Qt includes, install the libqt3-mt-dev package
[07:45] <thoreauputic> apokryphos: no prizes for guessing ;)
[07:45] <apokryphos> ubotu: qt is <reply> Qt is the Q-toolkit. Qt is to KDE what GTK is to GNOME. For the Qt includes, install the libqt3-mt-dev package
[07:45] <ubotu> okay, apokryphos
[07:45] <paganini> Wow. This is a lot of code.
[07:45] <paganini> 36MB of source files.
[07:46] <vader1102> evolution is messing me up, again...it isn't allowing me to send my email and it says it is connected
[07:46] <mpmc> funkyHat: Its already installed the program wont launch.
[07:46] <Frafra> !winmodem
[07:46] <ubotu> Frafra: I haven't a clue
[07:46] <Frafra> !winmodems
[07:46] <ubotu> Frafra: I don't know, could you explain it?
[07:46] <thoreauputic> apokryphos: I agree - amazing that was deleted
[07:46] <Frafra> !linmodem
[07:46] <ubotu> Frafra: Bugger all, i dunno
[07:46] <paganini> HEhe
[07:46] <Frafra> !linmodems
[07:46] <paganini> !smartlink
[07:46] <ubotu> Frafra: No idea
[07:46] <ubotu> paganini: Are you on ritalin?
[07:46] <Arsonide> How do I allow the music player to use those mp3 codecs?
[07:46] <apokryphos> thoreauputic: /me doubts there'll be any confessions :/
[07:46] <paganini> Scuseme?!
[07:46] <vader1102> any ideas?
[07:47] <AristoMagnus> vader1102: Try mozilla-thunderbird
[07:47] <Arsonide> brb
[07:48] <vader1102> is it friendly to the "older " machines?
[07:48] <AristoMagnus> also check if your SMTP server is right
[07:48] <funkyHat> mpmc, if you launch the program from a terminal, what error does it give?
[07:48] <sexcopter8000m> can anyone tell me how to tell what my cd-rom drive is? i mean if it's hda, hdb, etc?
[07:48] <vices> darkheart is there a good internet radio program?
[07:49] <vader1102> smtp is right, have been through the settings a few times and it only seems to do this when I am using my wireless card
[07:49] <funkyHat> sexcopter8000m, look at /etc/fstab
[07:49] <thrush> vices, streamtuner
[07:49] <DrTiger> when can I upgrade to Breezy Badger unstable?
[07:49] <sexcopter8000m> funkyHat: yep, just looked there... "i must think before asking stupid questions"
[07:49] <sexcopter8000m> ty anyway
[07:50] <funkyHat> lol
[07:50] <darkheart> vices Yes, streamtuner
[07:50] <slibs> thrush, are you still there?, sorry i couldn't responce right away, the application what im looking for isn' there, but other applications are
[07:50] <Arsonide> Uh, totem won't open any more.
[07:50] <geneo93> DrTiger:  now
[07:50] <thrush> vices, works with xmms i believe
[07:50] <thoreauputic> thrush: if you install streamtuner, get streamripper as well - it can rip your streams and put them in directories for you
[07:50] <darkheart> Arsonide Try opening it from a terminal and check the output.
[07:50] <Arsonide> Totem crashed while it was playing an MP3, and a bug report popped up, the bug report froze or something so I closed everything myself.
[07:50] <DrTiger> how?
[07:50] <funkyHat> how can i make the font that gnome-panel uses smaller?
[07:50] <thoreauputic> oops - vices that was for you ^^
[07:51] <DrTiger> I didn't found it in the wiki
[07:51] <thoreauputic> thrush: sorry
[07:51] <thrush> thoreauputic, havent looked at that yet thx
[07:51] <Arsonide> uh, the cursor moves down a line and then blinks slowly.
[07:51] <thoreauputic> ah, OK
[07:51] <vices> :)
[07:51] <DrTiger> the documentation is really confusing for me, but luckily you don't need a lot of docs with ubuntu, cause most things work
[07:51] <thrush> slibs, if you sudo ps -A does the program show up?
[07:51] <vices> this is the first time in a long time i've had such an easy experience as a newbie in a New irc channel :)
[07:51] <vices> gotta go get laundry and stuff and head out to work, but thanks for the help guys!
[07:52] <black_13> i want to get a debian souce pacakge and build the binaries that package static how would i go about that
[07:52] <DrTiger> how can I upgrade to breezy? Is there a wiki page for it?
[07:52] <DrTiger> breezygoals does not give info on it
[07:52] <apokryphos> !update2breezy
[07:52] <ubotu> apokryphos: Bugger all, i dunno
[07:52] <apokryphos> hm
[07:52] <thoreauputic> !upgrade
[07:52] <ubotu> One-line upgrade: sudo sed -e 's/warty/hoary/' -i /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[07:52] <slibs> thrush, as a wine or wineserver i think, it's running trouhg cedega
[07:52] <slibs> trough*
[07:53] <thoreauputic> DrTiger: substitute hoary/breezy
[07:53] <geneo93> DrTiger:  just change repos to breezy
[07:53] <slibs> but i already closed it
[07:53] <apokryphos> upgrade2breezy... that was it.
[07:53] <paganini> ARgh
[07:53] <Arsonide> What is going on with Totem..bah I just got it working too.
[07:53] <slibs> but anyway, i'd like to know is there any other way, than alt-tab
[07:55] <thrush> slibs, havent messed with gnome in a while in flux or blackbox you can middle click if you have 'minimized' and look under icons...
[07:55] <thrush> slibs, maybe someone else here can give you some advise =)
[07:55] <AristoMagnus> Breezy is stable? or this beta
[07:56] <thrush> slibs, err middle mouse button or scroll wheel
[07:56] <mpmc> Anyone here use Last.fm, That can help me?
[07:56] <mchammer> breezy is beta candidate 3
[07:56] <mchammer> release
[07:56] <Arsonide> Alright nothing works now, not xine, not xmms, not totem...nothing. It was working while I played a .mov, then I played an mp3 and it crashed and everything died.
[07:56] <mpmc> whats different in breezy?
[07:57] <NoUse> !breezy
[07:57] <ubotu> breezy is, like, totally, the next version of Ubuntu (5.10); released October 2005. It hasn't reached stable-status, so it can still be broken. A pictorial view of differences between Hoary & Breezy: http://members.home.nl/jeroen-91/ubuntu/breezy-new/
[07:57] <thoreauputic> apokryphos: heh - re:meeting - beware the GMT != UTC trap (just realised I was looking at London time)
[07:57] <funkyHat> accelerated graphics for rendering normals stuff, more eye candy, newer versions of stuff
[07:58] <funkyHat> thoreauputic, what's UTC?
[07:58] <AristoMagnus> it should be more easy for new linux user, to let windows die!
[07:58] <geneo93> universal time
[07:59] <thoreauputic> funkyHat: Universal time (GMT without the corrections for daylight saving etc)
[07:59] <funkyHat> oh right
[07:59] <mpmc> I'm gonna scream!
[07:59] <funkyHat> GMT == UTC in that case
[07:59] <funkyHat> it's BST that != UTC
[07:59] <thoreauputic> funkyHat: no
[07:59] <funkyHat> yes ;)
[07:59] <thoreauputic> funkyHat: ah I see - OK
[08:00] <funkyHat> GMT doesn't change. the UK moves onto BST for summer
[08:00] <Arsonide> I guess I'll try a full reboot
[08:00] <Arsonide> br
[08:00] <mpmc> Ahhhh!!!!!!!! Damm last.fm... why is everything supported by Windoze and no Linux!
[08:00] <Arsonide> b
[08:00] <thoreauputic> so I should have said BST
[08:00] <funkyHat> yeh
[08:00] <mpmc> BST = British Standard time :)
[08:00] <kspath> anyone know where to get a PPC .deb of nvu?
[08:00] <mpmc> :P
[08:00] <thoreauputic> funkyHat: OK thanks
[08:00] <funkyHat> mpmc, no
[08:00] <funkyHat> BST = british SUMMER time
[08:01] <geneo93> mpmc:  because gates is greedy
[08:01] <mpmc> hahaha..
[08:01] <mpmc> I cant listen to last.fm on linux!
[08:01] <thoreauputic> funkyHat: I didn't know there *was* a summer in Britain *grin*

[08:02] <Firetech> what does usermode +C mean (end of the topic)
[08:02] <apokryphos> thoreauputic: heh, sister decided to go on. Nearly forgot.
[08:02] <NoUse> Firetech blocks the spam bots
[08:02] <apokryphos> thoreauputic: meeting should start any sec :P
[08:03] <mpmc> Die Windoze die!..
[08:03] <Firetech> NoUse: +E stops messages from unregged users, I don't know what +C means...
[08:03] <thoreauputic> apokryphos: in two hours I thought?
[08:03] <geneo93> mpmc:  you can with several things
[08:03] <thoreauputic> Tue Aug 30 18:03:05 UTC 2005
[08:03] <apokryphos> thoreauputic: oh d'oh! I thought UTC was one hour forward. Great :/
[08:03] <GoClick> Does anyone know why my samba server wouldn't be broadcasting it's name to the network? It's config is viewable at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/1748
[08:03] <mpmc> geneo93 I can't
[08:03] <thoreauputic> apokryphos: :)
[08:03] <apokryphos> thoreauputic: would've helped if I actually thought about it 8)
[08:03] <mpmc> geneo93: they've only allowing their player now :@
[08:03] <NoUse> Firetech CTCP block
[08:04] <Firetech> NoUse: oh.
[08:04] <mpmc> :)
[08:04] <geneo93> mpmc:  pitch a bitch then
[08:04] <funkyHat> thoreauputic, there isn't ;)
[08:04] <funkyHat> ^^
[08:04] <mpmc> geneo93: What??
[08:05] <mpmc> someone translate?
[08:05] <abarbaccia> hey - what's the quickest way to keep two directories synchronized
[08:05] <abarbaccia> ?
[08:05] <NoUse> abarbaccia rsync
[08:05] <thoreauputic> funkyHat: everyone thinks it's a heat wave if temp goes over 25 degrees C  ;)
[08:05] <mpmc> abarbaccia: draging and dropping/copy & paste :P
[08:05] <abarbaccia> hahha thanks mpmc but i wanted something a little more intricate
[08:06] <mpmc> lol, Ok.
[08:06] <HappyFool> GoClick: can you ping windows machines from linux box and vice versa ? (using ip address if necessary)
[08:06] <mpmc> Bye bye. everyone.
[08:06] <afaik> heh, can I ask a debian question here? For some reason I am banned from #debian
[08:06] <mpmc> lol
[08:07] <thoreauputic> afaik: heh - ask and we'll see :)
[08:07] <geneo93> well you should flood
[08:07] <thoreauputic> afaik: did you flood in #debian? Don't, please
[08:08] <afaik> heh
[08:08] <gwilym> Hello. I'm trying to format an external drive. Cfdisk seems to work, but then it gives me an error at the end, saying: "wrote partition table, but reread failed. Reboot to update table". I've tride restarting the disk, and restarting ubuntu, but without any luck. Any suggestions?
[08:08] <Arsonide> Alright totem is very unstable. I think it has something to do with audio quality though cause it crashes a lot with this particular MP3...and not with the one I'm playing now.
[08:08] <afaik> nah, I am running sid, recently did an apt-get upgrade
[08:08] <afaik> seems gftp is broken now
[08:08] <afaik> it works, but after a while will just instantly close :(
[08:08] <kemik> afaik:  go over to ubuntu
[08:09] <funkyHat> XD
[08:09] <afaik> nah
[08:09] <thoreauputic> afaik: if you are running sid you need to consult the BTS and you get to keep *both* pieces ;-)
[08:09] <kemik> and enjoy the benefits of a friendly community
[08:09] <afaik> I think i'll just change my sources to sarge and apt-get install it
[08:09] <kemik> andnot a bunch of stuckup morons with penis-envy-complex
[08:09] <Firetech> ubuntu is a stable sid... kind of.
[08:09] <afaik> sid is mostly stable
[08:09] <afaik> but occassionally breaks
[08:09] <thoreauputic> afaik: downgrading like that is not supported
[08:10] <Firetech> afaik: ubuntu stable doesn't.
[08:10] <afaik> I would move to ubuntu, but I installed it and it made cd burning screwy
[08:10] <afaik> so I went back to debian
[08:10] <Firetech> use k3b instead.
[08:10] <lancer285> can anyone tell me how to see which process is currently using the soundcard?
[08:10] <Subsonix> k3b is perfect
[08:10] <abarbaccia> afaik, use gnomebaker
[08:10] <afaik> I use k3b
[08:10] <Varanger> Can I update my system to breezy or should I stay with Hoary?
[08:10] <afaik> but that isn't the point
[08:10] <thoreauputic> lancer285: fuser /dev/dsp/*  I think
[08:11] <zenrox> Varanger,  stick with hoary
[08:11] <afaik> burning even from the commandline is slow in ubuntu
[08:11] <afaik> it turneth my 24x cd burner to 4x
[08:11] <thoreauputic> lancer285: scratch that..
[08:11] <lancer285> thoreauputic, okay (:
[08:11] <Varanger> zenrox: Thanks!
[08:11] <zenrox> afaik,  enable dma on your drive
[08:11] <hamourabi> hi room
[08:11] <zenrox> hello
[08:12] <NoUse> lancer285 sudo fuser -v /dev/dsp
[08:12] <funkyHat> who are you talking to?
[08:12] <zenrox> any one
[08:12] <zenrox> who will lisen
[08:12] <hamourabi> i'm trying to use my ubuntuas a gate way
[08:12] <lancer285> thanks
[08:12] <funkyHat> sorry, i'm just joking ;)
[08:12] <Firetech> afaik: ubuntu has dms disabled for CD dribes by default...
[08:12] <Firetech> *dma
[08:12] <hamourabi> but i need to edit a file in rc.d directery
[08:12] <lancer285> btw when I did fuser /dev/dsp it came up w/ the same process #
[08:12] <hamourabi> but i didn't find it
[08:12] <zenrox> ya thare is a nice howto to enable dma on the forums
[08:13] <thoreauputic> lancer285:   fuser /dev/dsp
[08:13] <lancer285> thoreauputic, thanks2 got it!
[08:13] <thoreauputic> lancer285: I got the * wronf
[08:13] <paganini> I think the problem here is that I don't know where ubuntu keeps the kernel
[08:13] <funkyHat> hamourabi, install firestarted any use the wizard to set it up as a gateway
[08:13] <paganini> Is it in /usr/src/ or is it in /lib/modules?
[08:13] <funkyHat> *firestarter
[08:13] <paganini> Both places have all kinds of scary kernel stuff.
[08:13] <HappyFool> paganini: the kernel itself is in /boot
[08:13] <HappyFool> paganini: what are you trying to do?
[08:13] <paganini> Well, yeah. But, for the purposes of compiling drivers.
[08:14] <zenrox> paganini,  kernel = /boot for the binary kernel /lib/modules for modules
[08:14] <HappyFool> paganini: install linux-headers-386
[08:14] <paganini> This makefile has a KERNEL_DIR entry that I'm supposed to fill in.
[08:14] <tahorg> Is there any plan to get xorg 7.0RCx in breezy ?
[08:14] <HappyFool> paganini: i would guess that KERNEL_DIR should be /lib/modules/2.6.10-5-386/build
[08:15] <paganini> I have linux-headers-386, 686, and linux-headers
[08:15] <GoClick> HappyFool yes
[08:15] <paganini> OK
[08:15] <paganini> I don't think I was pointing it at the "build" sd
[08:15] <GoClick> HappyFool I can access the share as \\ipaddress\share but it doesn't show up in the browser, and it doesn't seem to broadcast
[08:15] <dell500> can anoyne help me with my Belkin wireless card?
[08:15] <Spudchat> oy
[08:15] <HappyFool> GoClick: the workgroups are the same?
[08:16] <GoClick> HappyFool yes, and in XP you can browse across workgroups I can see all the other computers in all 3 of our workgroups
[08:16] <GoClick> Which is why I think it's not broadcasting
[08:16] <thoreauputic> paganini: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)  will give an exact match for your kernel
[08:16] <HappyFool> GoClick: are these workgroups or domains?
[08:16] <GoClick> workgroups
[08:16] <Spudchat> hi guys i gotta about external harddrives in ubuntu...i wanna buy a 40gb western digital
[08:17] <Spudchat> but it only has instruction for a pc and mac im assuming it will run does anybody know?
[08:17] <paganini> woot
[08:17] <paganini> That seems to have worked
[08:17] <paganini> Thanks Fool
[08:17] <HappyFool> paganini: np
[08:18] <paganini> Toreauputic: I already have a couple of different sets of headers leftover from when I upgraded to the 686 kernel.
[08:18] <thoreauputic> paganini: OK :)
[08:18] <zenrox> paganini,  remove the ones you ant using like the 386 ones
[08:18] <geneo93> Spudchat:  yes it will work
[08:18] <HappyFool> GoClick: hmm. i haven't worked with normal workgroups for a while, but that sounds wrong
[08:18] <HappyFool> GoClick: is the nmbd process running? 'pgrep nmbd' should tell you
[08:18] <Spudchat> thank you very much
[08:19] <GoClick> no it's not
[08:19] <GoClick> I don't think it's even in my init
[08:19] <HappyFool> it should be started along with smbd
[08:19] <zenrox> GoClick,  then you need to install it
[08:19] <paganini> Well, this is not very helpfull. modprobe won't load the driver.
[08:19] <paganini> Dmesg says Uknown Symbol
[08:20] <paganini> for get_device, put_device, etc.
[08:20] <HappyFool> no, nmbd is in the samba package
[08:20] <GoClick> It is installed
[08:20] <HappyFool> if i do 'sudo /etc/init.d/samba start', both smbd and nmbd are started
[08:20] <GoClick> HappyFool I DO do that.
[08:20] <HappyFool> GoClick: yeah, something is obviously screwy
[08:21] <HappyFool> GoClick: look in /var/log/samba/log.nmbd
[08:21] <HappyFool> GoClick: any error messages or anything? (please don't paste more than 2 lines here -- use the pastebin instead)
[08:22] <GoClick> Nope
[08:22] <dell500> is there a way to get ndiswrapper to install without the 5.04 HH cd??
[08:22] <GoClick> Ehhhh it seems to be fine nothing weird that I can see
[08:22] <thoreauputic> !info ndiswrapper
[08:22] <zenrox> !ndiswrapper
[08:22] <ubotu> ndiswrapper is, like, at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToSetUpNdiswrapper
[08:23] <dell500> i just did 'sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper*'
[08:23] <darkheart> !tell dell500 about addingrepositories
[08:23] <thoreauputic> zenrox: thanks
[08:23] <GoClick> I'm going to try and reboot and see if nmbd starts again
[08:23] <zenrox> thoreauputic,  n/p
[08:23] <darkheart> !tell dell500 about repositories
[08:23] <HappyFool> GoClick: so you see a Netbios nameserver ... started' message there?
[08:23] <thoreauputic> dell500: it isn't a package, ubotu says
[08:23] <dell500> darkheart, is there a way to add a repository for the whole cd??
[08:23] <GoClick> HappyFool I'll have to let you know when it comes back up I just rebooted
[08:24] <dell500> what, ndiswrapper??
[08:24] <NoUse> dell500 I believe you can do that in synaptic pretty easily
[08:24] <dell500> well it's asking for the accual CD, and I can't seem to find it
[08:24] <thoreauputic> dell500: I assume you need extra repos or something
[08:24] <dell500> i have the live disk, but that won't work
[08:24] <darkheart> dell500 Yes, just comment out the cd line in your /etc/apt/sources.list file and use a repository from the net.
[08:24] <dell500> ah ha
[08:24] <dell500> k
[08:25] <geneo93> remove it from list then
[08:25] <XandriX> whats the name of that app to oc nvidia graphic cards again ?
[08:26] <dell500> this is at the top...
[08:26] <dell500> deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.04 _Hoary Hedgehog_ - Release i386 (20050407)] / hoary main restricted
[08:26] <geneo93> nvclock
[08:26] <NoUse> dell500 yeah to get rid of the CD repository, just delete that line
[08:26] <GoClick> Is there an easy way to get hardware acceleration going? It seems Ubuntu (5.04) didn't setup my GeForce FX 5500 on install, I really only care because my screensavers are all choppy ;)
[08:26] <dell500> i'll just comment it out
[08:26] <geneo93> # it out then
[08:27] <NoUse> !tell GoClick about nvidia
[08:27] <zenrox> !nvidia
[08:27] <ubotu> from memory, nvidia is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[08:27] <geneo93> GoClick:  sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[08:27] <keksladen> hi
[08:28] <dell500> anyone know of a legit site that has the whole cd on repo??
[08:28] <darkheart> !tell dell500 about 969
[08:28] <linux_mafia> legit? heh
[08:28] <NoUse> dell500 yeah its call the official ubuntu repositories
[08:29] <keksladen> may anybody tell me why my mouse wheel won't work?
[08:29] <keksladen> i cant find any option to switch it on or something else..
[08:29] <darkheart> dell500 http://pastebin.ubuntulinux.nl/969 That will have most repos you will need. Comment/uncomment them as you see fit.
[08:29] <GoClick> HappyFool It seems that nmbd doesn't start when samba starts
[08:29] <ezerhoden> keksladen, zaxis
[08:29] <dell500> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[08:29] <dell500> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[08:29] <boedeker> my school uses PEAP to connect to their wireless network, how do i get this to work?
[08:30] <dell500> this is no good, i accidently closed the shell that was open, and it was still waiting for the cd...
[08:30] <HappyFool> GoClick: i.e., no start message in the log file?
[08:30] <apokryphos> dell500: close any instances of synaptic/apt-processes
[08:30] <dell500> how?
[08:30] <dell500> like kill -??? apt-processes
[08:30] <GoClick> HappyFool I'm rebooting again for the nVidia stuff so give me just a second and I'll let you know.
[08:30] <NoUse> dell500 killall apt-get
[08:30] <apokryphos> dell500: no... what apt process is running?
[08:30] <apokryphos> dell500: synaptic/
[08:30] <geneo93> dell500:  you cant use synaptic and apt at same time
[08:30] <keksladen> ezerhoden, where i can set the zaxis? (gnome)
[08:31] <dell500> apokryphos, no, i just did the command line 'sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper*'
[08:31] <HappyFool> GoClick: do you have a WINS server running? I see 'wins support=yes'
[08:31] <apokryphos> dell500: did it finish successfully?
[08:31] <dell500> no
[08:31] <dell500> it was waiting for the cd
[08:31] <apokryphos> dell500: what happened?
[08:31] <NoUse> dell500 killall apt-get
[08:31] <thoreauputic> ompaul: I see you are now a wftl fanboy *grin*
[08:31] <ezerhoden> keksladen, it is in you xorg.conf
[08:31] <GoClick> HappyFool yes
[08:31] <ezerhoden> looking
[08:31] <apokryphos> dell500: you probably closed the terminal, I gather..
[08:31] <GoClick> HappyFool however I don't know as that that's all that nessisary because it's an XP network
[08:31] <keksladen> ezerhoden, ahh.. thx!
[08:31] <apokryphos> dell500: well, you should never have to do that. If you really have to end a process, press Ctrl+C
[08:31] <HappyFool> GoClick: you're sure?
[08:31] <dell500> apokryphos,  ya
[08:32] <boedeker> I need help connecting to my school's PEAP wireless netowrk.
[08:32] <GoClick> HappyFool let me check the config the system just came up
[08:32] <ompaul> thoreauputic, well that is one way to put it
[08:32] <GoClick> HappyFool wins support = yes
[08:32] <thoreauputic> ompaul: heh - just kidding ;)
[08:32] <geneo93> ctrl c quits apt if you have terminal open
[08:32] <graabein> my usb/firewire ports are not working okay after the first umount
[08:32] <HappyFool> GoClick: yeah, i've still got the pastebin from earlier open
[08:32] <dell500> ya, i guess it worked and installed
[08:32] <graabein> how do i get them to start again without reboot
[08:32] <HappyFool> GoClick: i mean, are you sure you need it?
[08:33] <GoClick> No I'm not sure
[08:33] <ompaul> thoreauputic, interesting, if we could get them all to use ubuntu instead of $linux we sould be doing well :)
[08:33] <Bad_Magic> does the ubuntu install image have any software that can resize ntfs?
[08:33] <GoClick> HappyFool I cleaned out the nmbd log and rebooted and nmbd didn't start and the log is empty
[08:33] <HappyFool> GoClick: hrm
[08:33] <thoreauputic> ompaul: ah, well... I think advocacy is deprecated on that list ;-)
[08:33] <apokryphos> Bad_Magic: on the install, yes. Other GUI ones: no, AFAIK.
[08:34] <HappyFool> GoClick: what happens if you do 'sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart' ?
[08:34] <ompaul> well first we get their respect and then say naaa don't use that try ubuntu :-)
[08:34] <thoreauputic> ompaul: and you'll never convert the old Slackers
[08:34] <NoUse> Bad_Magic gparted might, you'll need to use synaptic to get it
[08:35] <ompaul> the convince themselves
[08:35] <GoClick> HappyFool the log is still empty and the process is still not running
[08:35] <boedeker> Will someone help me deal with my schools wireless PEAP network?
[08:35] <HappyFool> GoClick: ok, and no error messages on the screen?
[08:35] <GoClick> Nope
[08:35] <Bad_Magic> also, does anyone have any experience installing ubuntu on an inspiron 9100? =x
[08:35] <thoreauputic> boedeker: I think you need to ask a specific question
[08:36] <thoreauputic> !tell boedeker about ask
[08:36] <HappyFool> GoClick: very odd
[08:36] <HappyFool> GoClick: have you done any other alterations to the configuration?
[08:36] <NoUse> Bad_Magic I bet if you google you'll find something
