[11:45] <Badm4n> ubotu transparant proxy > badm4n
[11:45] <ubotu> I know nothing about transparant proxy
[11:45] <Schalken> is there somwhere I can report bugs and/or sugegstions to Ubuntu development?
[11:45] <HiP_P> Paladine: cheery bye
[11:45] <HiP_P> as in bye bye
[11:45] <Paladine> WarOfAttrition, to be honest linux users are ucky to have any wmv support since it is a propriety format
[11:46] <mormoloc> bjv: just read a tutorial which said that ubuntu doesnt support wmv :(
[11:46] <HiP_P> bye all in room
[11:46] <Paladine> later HiP_P and good luck
[11:46] <kristian> Hatred, there was something wrong with the guide you send last night. It's not the same kernel in the guide and on my pc.
[11:46] <truzak> hello, is there a packaging issue related to latest libcairo update? it's always kept back...
[11:46] <Eazy-> Thanx bjv, it worked with xgamma :)
[11:46] <mormoloc> bjv: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper#How_to_install_Multimedia_Codecs
[11:47] <ompaul> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WMV  it is an open standard for the last couple of years
[11:47] <spikeb> patent encumbered or not?
[11:47] <WarOfAttrition> Paladine: true, but wmv does suck compared to others
[11:48] <kristian> hatred, you here?
[11:48] <ompaul> spikeb, I live in europe, and thankfully we don't have software patents (no matter what the EPO says), your jurisdiction may have other thoughts on it
[11:48] <reztho> hi
[11:48] <spikeb> yes, mine certainly does. lovely united states government and all that.
[11:48] <ompaul> spikeb, even if I said no, how could I know with the way patents are written, ;-)
[11:49] <spikeb> ompaul: haha
[11:49] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: the win32codecs don't allow you to play wmv?
[11:49] <mormoloc> nope :(
[11:49] <bill[1] > is the gib-2.0-dev package broken
[11:50] <bill[1] > glib even
[11:50] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: used the command sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[11:50] <mormoloc> but nada
[11:50] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: ok
[11:50] <stgraber> mormoloc: http://packages.freecontrib.org/ubuntu/plf/pool/dapper/i386/non-free/w32codecs/w32codecs_20050412-1plf4_i386.deb
[11:50] <kimo_^_> guys, I want to turn an old box, into (traffic manager, Firewall, Proxy, IDS ) appliance, for some friend Windows admins. Any recommended projects that do this kinda things ?
[11:50] <stgraber> and then : dpkg -o
[11:50] <stgraber> and then : dpkg -i
[11:51] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: have you got windows?
[11:51] <spikeb> kimo_^_: m0n0wall
[11:51] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: nope
[11:51] <kimo_^_> spikeb, thnx .. will look into it, any other recommendations
[11:51] <spikeb> kimo_^_: not offhand.
[11:52] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: I was thinking of possible some sort of convertion program of some sort no idea if one exist
[11:52] <Toge> hello
[11:53] <Toge> how can I created a DVD from a .avi (divx codec)?
[11:53] <kristian> how can i update my kernel to an older version? is that possible?
[11:53] <Toge> do you know any program?
[11:53] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: the tutorial you gave me had  the following phase in it:
[11:53] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: "Stubby All known codecs work except for wmv"
[11:53] <Schalken> kristian: it sure is, but if you are downgrading FROM the one came with ubuntu you might break something ;)
[11:54] <jrib> mormoloc: if you are on a i386, then w32codecs should let you play wmv.  It's not in ubuntu's repositories though
[11:55] <ern-> does anyone have an idea why my ps2 keyboard doesn't work in gdm at first?
[11:55] <Eazy-> hmm, I can play wmv-files with vlc
[11:55] <kristian> Schalken: oh.. I can check, I think I have a newer version than the kernel from the live-cd. What kernelversion was that on the Live-Cd?
[11:56] <WarOfAttrition> ern-: what does the keyboard say in xorg.conf?
[11:56] <amortvigil> hey
[11:56] <jrib> Eazy-: yeah, vlc can play them unless they are wmv9 (unless you recompile)
[11:56] <Eazy-> aha
[11:56] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: have a look at this: http://www.redhat.com/archives/rhl-list/2005-November/msg02212.html probable need to do some googling
[11:57] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: i installed the plugin
[11:57] <mormoloc> ill see if it work
[11:57] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: ok
[11:57] <Eazy-> just rememberd that some wmv-files dont work
[11:57] <Schalken> kristian: i can see the oldest one in the repos is <IP_ADDRESS>, thats rpobably the one on the cd.
[11:57] <kristian> Schalken: I have 2.6.15-25-k7 now, and I need 2.6.10-5-386
[11:57] <karl> hi please help - trying to auto mount ntfs drives in dapper, tried all sorts of sugested entries in fstab but as normal user I get permision errors when I navigate to mount points
[11:57] <Schalken> probably*
[11:58] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: well i can hear sounds but no pictures :(
[11:58] <Paladine> ompaul, it may be an open standard but it isn't an open format, or at least not in the traditional sense
[11:58] <ern-> WarOfAttrition: there is an identifier, driver is kbd, xkbrules on xorg. the keyboard is referenced in the server layout section. this worked before a few days and works after going into xdmcp chooser and returning, for example
[11:58] <mormoloc> im using vlc and totem
[11:58] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: bit by bit :-)
[11:58] <Paladine> anything that can be stuffed with drm can't really be considered open as it is against the law to circumvent that drm
[11:59] <ompaul> Paladine, do the words embrace and extend
[11:59] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: :)
[11:59] <Firetech> is there any way to check from which repo a conflicting package comes from?
[11:59] <Schalken> karl: if it helps, my windows partition entry in fstab looks like this: "/dev/sda1	/media/windows	ntfs	ro,nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0"
[11:59] <Eazy-> karl: your ntfs-disk is probably already mounted under /media
[11:59] <amortvigil> ik hebwhat does this say : after i downlaod something with lynx it says: /bin/tar tvf -
[11:59] <Paladine> ompaul, thats just my opinion of course
[12:00] <Schalken> karl: (it says 'sda1' cuz i have a sata drive)
[12:00] <Frogzoo> Paladine: depends on which country's law you're talking about
[12:00] <kristian> Schalken: Ok. 2.6.10-5-386 is very old then... Could you take a look at a guide?
[12:01] <Paladine> frog, well DMCA may well be US law but many countries (including the whole of europe) have treaties with the US to uphold DMCA
[12:01] <Schalken> kristian: i gotta go. hope you get working whatever your trying to get working ;)
[12:01] <Paladine> so DMCA is basically annexed to other soveriegn states
[12:02] <Paladine> however, the future is bright
[12:02] <ompaul> Paladine, the dmca is not called that here, but it is an order of magnititude worse
[12:02] <Eazy->  (jrib) Eazy-: yeah, vlc can play them unless they are wmv9 (unless you recompile) ...do you mean recompile vlc player or...?
[12:02] <Paladine> there is a very large movement against DRM in europe atm
[12:02] <Paladine> and it is getting larger every week
[12:03] <Paladine> ompaul, whre are you based?
[12:03] <karl> thanks fstab entry same as Schalken, have 3 drives as hda1, hde1, hdf1 and a sda1, sda1 = usb and works, can mount as root or login as root and access I just want help with user access, tried captive and had same issues
[12:03] <ompaul> Paladine, the best movement against this stuff is called "customer rejection"
[12:03] <ompaul> Paladine, we are well offtopic here - #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:03] <jrib> Eazy-: well you can recompile it with wmv9 support... dvd john had a guide on his site
[12:03] <Eazy-> got a link for me? :)
[12:03] <Paladine> ompaul, I agree 110%, which is why I have been boycotting the industry for over 2 years, believe me, I know a great deal about DRM and other such anti consumer laws, I am stuck rightin themiddle of a HUGE lawsuit
[12:03] <Polkadotshorts> Hello
[12:04] <Polkadotshorts> Can anyone tell me how I can set midi's to play back on an external midi device (a keyboard)
[12:04] <Polkadotshorts> The keyboard is plugged in
[12:04] <snoops> oh wow.. what an amazing compiz effect.. I didn't even know it was there.. ctrl+alt + page down.. did anyone else know about that?
[12:04] <Polkadotshorts> Into a USB
[12:05] <Polkadotshorts> Hello?
[12:06] <aunes> Hi all.
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> Can anyone help me
[12:06] <ern-> i must leave, thanks WarOfAttrition, bye
[12:06] <aunes> What's the problem, Polka?
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> I have an externel midi device.
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> A keyboard.
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> And I need to play midi's through there
[12:06] <jrib> Eazy-: http://www.nanocrew.net/?p=129
[12:06] <Polkadotshorts> I just don't know how to set it as the default midi playback device
[12:07] <Polkadotshorts> (And input device, if possible)
[12:07] <aunes> http://www.google.com/search?q=ubuntu+midi&start=0&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:unofficial
[12:07] <Eazy-> thanx...tried to google...seem to suck at it ;)
[12:07] <AlexC> How do I install the latest ATI fglrx Drivers, the ones that fix the bug with 100% RPM fan speed
[12:07] <aunes> something there should work for you. the first and third links look helpful
[12:07] <karl> help - why does water not work on my compiz, enabled but does nothing
[12:08] <kristian> hatred, you here? :)
[12:08] <AlexC> Karl, you need to enable the Windows Key as Super in the Keyboard options
[12:08] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: there are shed loads of windows programs that seem to be able to convert wmv files other formats, so I would expect that you can find a linux converter somewhere try posting a question in the main ubuntu forum and/or comp.os.linux.misc on usenet
[12:09] <AlexC> karl, System -> preferences -> keyboard -> layout options -> Alt/Win Key -> Super is maped to win key
[12:09] <hattt> hello!  my question is a simple one about the upgrade facilities in ubuntu.  are there, in general, separate packages for various hardware drivers that can be installed via a package manager, if i didn't want to compile the driver myself?
[12:09] <Polkadotshorts> i don't have a problem with software synths
[12:09] <AlexC> karl, then just press CTRL+Super ( Win key ) and click in the desktop or anywhere!
[12:09] <Polkadotshorts> That is nto what iw ant./
[12:09] <Polkadotshorts> what i need is for it to play into a device which is plugged into USB
[12:09] <Polkadotshorts> I midi keyboard
[12:09] <cyne> how do i restart inetd ?
[12:10] <Frogzoo> hattt: that's the idea - you use kernel modules for drivers
[12:10] <WarOfAttrition> I think software synths are better than the midi hardware in creative cards
[12:10] <WarOfAttrition> far more polyphony if your system can handle it
[12:10] <ubuntu_> oigannnnnnnnnnnnn
[12:10] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: thanks
[12:10] <ubuntu_> vale madre ubunto y sus Gcompiz

[12:11] <amortvigil> what does /bin/tar tvf -
[12:11] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: I haven't done anything, not least that you could call helpfull :-)
[12:11] <amortvigil> mean
[12:11] <cntb> zaya lol
[12:11] <AlexC> How do I install the latest ATI fglrx Drivers, the ones that fix the bug with 100% RPM fan speed

[12:12] <Frogzoo> amortvigil: man tar
[12:12] <zaya> cntb si we. ahora estoy entrando con el live cd.
[12:12] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: well you tried to help , thks:)
[12:12] <zaya> estoy en el live cd.
[12:12] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: good luck I  would be intersted to see what solution you come up with
[12:12] <Frogzoo> !es
[12:12] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.

[12:12] <sedrake> how do I activate opengl direct rendering?
[12:12] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: your welcome :-)
[12:12] <AlexC> sedrake, do you mean install nVidia/ATI drivers?
[12:13] <Frogzoo> sedrake: should be enabled by default - what do you get for: 'glxinfo |grep direct'
[12:13] <amortvigil> Frogzoo: what can i do now to go install it?
[12:13] <__doc__> Hi, I've bigger problems trying to ge aac converted to mp3 on my dapper, any ideas?
[12:13] <sedrake> AlexC, Frogzoo, i have had it installed but my settings got messed up I tried to reset it but now direct rendering doesnt work
[12:13] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: can you read/open wmv ,or do you have the same problem?
[12:13] <snoops> why not ogg?
[12:14] <__doc__> well, whatever fits on my ipod
[12:14] <AlexC> sedrake, just reinstall nvidia/ati drivers?
[12:14] <sedrake> Frogzoo: output: direct rendering: No
[12:14] <WarOfAttrition> converting from aac to mp3 will ruin the quality
[12:14] <karl> AlexC- thanks mapped key - still no rain, Gset shortcuts for water read <Control><Super> for init and <Super>F9 fro toggle is this OK
[12:14] <sedrake> AlexC - how do I do that?
[12:14] <_stefan> hello, ATX = ATX?
[12:14] <__doc__> well can I play ogg on my ipod?
[12:14] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: don't know haven't tried, got a small one I could download from somewhere  and try?
[12:14] <Frogzoo> sedrake: which vid card?
[12:14] <__doc__> besides the question, I tried converting to ogg as well, doesn't work either
[12:14] <AlexC> sedrake, https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/hardware.html
[12:15] <Alex> _stefan: No - much smaller, doesn't fit properly in most cases (the PCI slots)
[12:15] <jory> any ideas why dapper doesn't work well with usb disks? (sd cards through card reader, pendrive) ? I cannot format them, can't see files, free space is wrong, I CAN write on the free space (but its size is wrong)
[12:15] <snoops> karl try out ctrl+alt+page down ;)
[12:15] <amortvigil> Frogzoo: what can i do now to go install it?
[12:15] <__doc__> aac -> anything doesn't seem to work anywhere
[12:15] <AlexC> karl, yes - thats how I have mine and it works
[12:15] <sedrake> Frogzoo: nvidia geforce4 ti 4200
[12:15] <Frogzoo> !nvidia > sedrake
[12:15] <WarOfAttrition> are they DRM aac songs? if so, no you can't do a thing with them - maybe try project hymn <_<
[12:15] <aunes> doc: which gen ipod?
[12:15] <__doc__> aunes: nano
[12:15] <AlexC> karl, well actually init rain for me is shirt+F9
[12:15] <kristian> Frogzoo, have you used this guide before? :http://www.ubuntu.si/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=instaliranje_gonilikov_za_ati-jeve_karticei
[12:16] <AlexC> karl, shift, not shirt lol
[12:16] <Frogzoo> kristian: .si ? I don't think so
[12:16] <karl> ctrl-alt-pgdwn works as does eveything else but no water, hmmm, compiz did an update today I though that might fix it but no
[12:16] <aunes> doc: looks unlikely
[12:16] <__doc__> I installed soundconverter, soundkonverter, audio-converter, none of them seems able to convert
[12:16] <karl> hehe
[12:16] <redblades> Hey hey
[12:16] <jory> any ideas why dapper doesn't work well with usb disks? (sd cards through card reader, pendrive) ? I cannot format them, can't see files, free space is wrong, I CAN write on the free space (but its size is wrong)
[12:16] <AlexC> karl, WOW, I didn know about pgdown!! that amazing
[12:17] <_stefan> Alex: http://www.asrock.com/PRODUCT/AM2NF4G-SATA2.htm
[12:17] <_stefan> Alex: that is an ATX board
[12:17] <snoops> AlexC yeah.. I found that out today.. fun
[12:17] <AlexC> _stefan, are you talking to me?
[12:17] <kristian> Frogzoo: I got if from Hatred, it's how to install driver for graphic card, but there is something wrong :P I try to write sudo apt-get install linux restricted-modules-2.6.15-25-k7-xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-control, which is a code in that guide, but it dosn't work...
[12:17] <aunes> I'm trying to download wine. I followed their instructions but b/c I'm using the 64 bit version, the source is looking in binary-amd64 instead of binary-all for the file Packages.gz   Any thoughts how I can redirect synaptic?
[12:17] <redblades> I was wondering, is there a way to generate a HTML playlist (much like Winamp) ?
[12:18] <_stefan> AlexC: to Alex
[12:18] <AlexC> _stefan, ok =)
[12:18] <monomaniacpat> Guys: How do I get wine to show the contents of a PC game CD? it's invisible to me atm.
[12:18] <Frogzoo> !fglrx > kristian
[12:19] <kristian> Frogzoo, tried that one. Hatred told me to try the link, then it probably would work. I have tried the howto 3-4 times
[12:19] <kristian> brb
[12:19] <monomaniacpat> Frogzoo told me about the appdb but I don't know what to look for
[12:21] <hattt> Frogzoo, thanks - so if i know that the ralink rt2500 driver in dapperdrake has intermittent problems (and it happens to occur to my laptop, too), would it be likely that i could upgrade just that driver via the package manager, without resorting to source?
[12:21] <tafsen> How can I delete a swap file?
[12:21] <sedrake> I still dont get direct rendering to work, see I hav had it worked so my nvidia drivers is already installed
[12:22] <karl> thanks alexc - hm odd no caps now
[12:22] <karl> - SHIFT KEYS NOT WORKING CAPS OK
[12:22] <redblades> I'm planning to write one, with better HTML that the winamp one, but I need a way to get Song title, artist, track length, album
[12:23] <__doc__> still can't do anything with aac convert> anything
[12:24] <ufk> /tuborg/VM Storage" /usr/zlocal/vmstorage smbfs defaults 0 0, i can't use "" on fstab, and adding //tuborg/VM\ Storage doesn't work too. any ideas?
[12:24] <Frogzoo> hattt: the repos always host the latest available - if that doesn't work, you'll need to look to source
[12:24] <sedrake> Frogzoo: nvidia drivers is already installed but still no direct rendering
[12:25] <Frogzoo> sedrake: dunno cos I use fglrx - but typically the common problems are detailed in the wiki entries
[12:26] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: just tried downloading a clip from here: http://www.amd.com/us-en/Corporate/VirtualPressRoom/0,,51_104_572_585,00.html click on the clip and kaffine starts up and plays it!
[12:27] <salah> any idea how I install this theme: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=37871
[12:27] <WarOfAttrition> sedrake: is "nvidia" the driver set in xorg.conf? or is it "nv"
[12:27] <cyphase> just the picture :)
[12:27] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: some had the same problem with w32codecs install
[12:27] <sedrake> WarOfAttrition: nvidia
[12:27] <zdux0012> if I install xubuntu-desktop will I lose gnome?
[12:28] <WarOfAttrition> that would be a fragile monitor
[12:28] <cyphase> zdux0012: no
[12:28] <zdux0012> thanks,,
[12:28] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: it sais there the problem comes from videolan and totem
[12:28] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: ill try gxine
[12:28] <__doc__> well, I conclude, linux/unbuntu incapable of aac decoding then. fine
[12:29] <monomaniacpat> WarOfAttrition: NV is the default ubuntu video driver, you need nvidia (nvidia-glx)
[12:30] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: works perfect with gxine :)
[12:30] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: woohoo :-)
[12:31] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: yeah wohoo :)
[12:31] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: think I am using xine as the amaroK engine
[12:31] <redblades> How do I set up a shared folder with a Vmware machine?
[12:31] <monomaniacpat> now anyone know much about wine's appdb?
[12:32] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: pleased you got that sorted :-)
[12:32] <mormoloc> gatekeeper: ubuntu makes you sweat all the time :)
[12:32] <gatekeeper> mormoloc: It sure does :-)

[12:41] <Frogzoo> lucasvo: maybe try the main repos if problem persists
[12:41] <AlexC> Stormx2, Ahh thats better, I was actually selecting one of the options inside UK - thanks
[12:41] <Stormx2> AlexC: Thats what i did
[12:41] <Stormx2> AlexC: Tricked me out too ;-)
[12:41] <Nameeater> redblades: vmware has a pack that can sometime do it, I know it did for my windows vmware install it made a virtual networked folder
[12:41] <amortvigil> lucasvo: works
[12:42] <AlexC> Stormx2, hehe
[12:42] <redblades> Nameeater, where?
[12:42] <lainux> Nobody can help for wifi problem?
[12:42] <WarOfAttrition> now you're maxing it out
[12:42] <Nameeater> I am not sure sorry, I havnt installed vmware since I upgraded to dapper, what OS are you installing on vmware?
[12:43] <lucasvo> amortvigil: what works? :)
[12:44] <cwillu> is there any way to remove a package that ubuntu-desktop depends on without removing ubuntu-desktop itself?  (I know ubunbtu-desktop is just a meta-package; this is just an aesthetic thing)
[12:44] <spikeb> cwillu: no.
[12:44] <WarOfAttrition> I hate meta packages
[12:44] <WarOfAttrition> they smell like old bread
[12:44] <redblades> Nameeater, DaveyJ
[12:45] <amortvigil> lucasvo: ping
[12:45] <redblades> Nameeater, Dapper I mean
[12:45] <lucasvo> amortvigil: and what's the problem?
[12:46] <mormoloc> are there any openoffice 2.0.3 pakages for ubuntu yet?
[12:47] <amortvigil> i want to get from comoputer 1 to computer 2
[12:47] <amortvigil> lucasvo:i want to get from comoputer 1 to computer 2
[12:47] <lucasvo> amortvigil: what data do you want to transmit?
[12:47] <lucasvo> amortvigil: if ping works, you can already communicate with them
[12:48] <amortvigil> lucasvo: like downlaods and music
[12:48] <amortvigil> files
[12:49] <enyc> hrrm
[12:50] <enyc> ?is there a channel for ubuntu-backports?
[12:50] <foxiness> hi , i want to start new local channel for ubuntu on my area
[12:50] <lucasvo> amortvigil: try: Places > Connect to server
[12:51] <lucasvo> amortvigil: Choose SSH, enter the IP of the server
[12:51] <lucasvo> amortvigil: port is not needed
[12:51] <Ignite_> hows pcmcia/wireless support in ubuntu, friend is having issues with fedora, considering how much of a pleasure it is for me using ubuntu i figured i would ask seeing as i haven't ever needed to setup wireless :P
[12:51] <lucasvo> amortvigil: enter the user name, and in Folder I would enter /home/__USER__/
[12:52] <lucasvo> amortvigil: and then press connect
[12:52] <lucasvo> amortvigil: you should have an icon on the desktop which says /home/__USER__/ at IP
[12:53] <lucasvo> amortvigil: double click on it and you should see the your homedir on the other machine
[12:53] <ompaul> foxiness, ?
[12:54] <amortvigil> lucasvo: its conection refuses and i dont have gui
[12:54] <lucasvo> amortvigil: where don't you have gui?
[12:55] <finalbeta> Ignite_, it's still hell. You still want to be using ndiswrapper, unless you have a bmx or something chipset that has a module. My wireless still only works on B while the card should be working in G
[12:55] <amortvigil> lucasvo: its a ubuntu server
[12:55] <amortvigil> only the base system
[12:55] <Ignite_> finalbeta, ok, thanks for the insight
[12:56] <AlexC> What does it mean when I get this error in sudo apt-get update :GPG error: http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl dapper-seveas Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBK
[12:56] <bimberi> !loco

[12:56] <Badm4n> any one can help me to make my squid transparant ?
[12:57] <AlexC> Badm4n, put it in a blender?
[12:57] <Badm4n> :-/
[12:57] <Badm4n> mean ?
[12:58] <bimberi> AlexC: have you added the package signing key to apt's trusted keys database?  If not see the info at http://mirror.ubuntulinux.nl/ itself
[12:58] <AlexC> bimberi, i'll do that now
[12:58] <lucasvo> amortvigil: you only need the gui on the client
[12:58] <lucasvo> amortvigil: does ssh user@server work?
[12:58] <AlexC> Badm4n, well you put a squid in a blender, it then becomes a liquid - and liquid is transparant slightly ( might not be after all the blood n guys of the squid though )
[12:59] <war95> Anyone here do any benchmarking with SW RAID5 vs. chunk size in a performance analysis?
[12:59] <AlexC> bllod n guts*
[12:59] <lucasvo> Badm4n: I don't know how to do it
[12:59] <lucasvo> Badm4n: but afaik it's the same procedure for all the operating systems
[12:59] <AlexC> thanks bimberi - I should of thought of that.
[12:59] <amortvigil> lucasvo shh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and shh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>wont work
[12:59] <lucasvo> Badm4n: you should be able to find a howto on google
[01:00] <amortvigil> lucasvo: shh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and shh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>wont work
[01:00] <Badm4n> i need help to make my proxy transparant but using iptables rule
[01:00] <lucasvo> amortvigil: and ping <IP_ADDRESS>  works?
[01:00] <lucasvo> amortvigil: the ip <IP_ADDRESS> is usually reserved for broadcasting
[01:01] <amortvigil> lucasvo: the ping works
[01:02] <SaTaN`_> hello
[01:03] <SaTaN`_> how could I setup Shell on ubuntu??
[01:04] <AlexC> Guys, I've just installed ubuntu-fglrx-386 to get the latest ATI drviers, after I installed I get this message You need to install the accompanying kernel module for X to remain functiona
[01:04] <AlexC> Why are the accompanying kernel module for x?
[01:04] <ernz> Morning Everyone!!!
[01:04] <SaTaN`_> how could I setup Shell on ubuntu??
[01:04] <AlexC> morning,
[01:04] <AlexC> SaTaN`_, by wating more than 2 mins :p
[01:04] <jrib> SaTaN`_: what do you mean exactly?
[01:04] <ernz> This is kind of a stupid question. But I have seen a few screenshots of Ubuntu desktops on line.
[01:05] <ernz> Some of these shots have the terminal script feeding directly onto the desktop - How would I do this?
[01:05] <SaTaN`_> am, i Mean the shell, that you can buy... i would like to put this on my machine, to larn, how to use real shells....
[01:05] <ernz> I suspect a gDesklet, but I can't seem to find one that does it.
[01:06] <jrib> SaTaN`_: you mean applications > accessories > terminal?
[01:07] <jrib> ernz: maybe you can link to the screenshot?
[01:08] <ernz> jrib: Sure, one second.
[01:08] <ernz> jrib: http://www.lynucs.org/index.php?screen_type=1&screen_id=1520205582435bac8c57dea&m=screen
[01:09] <alex_> i have a 500Mhz celeron cpu with the bord ga-6bxc and 160mb sdram + 16 mb vga
[01:10] <alex_> how can i make my ubuntu 5.1 with gnome quiker
[01:10] <Frogzoo> alex_: you installed fglrx-kernel-2.6.15-25-386        assuming you're running a 386 kernel, I'd recommend 686 personally
[01:10] <jrib> ernz: it may just be a transparent terminal with the border removed
[01:10] <alex_> how to install the kernel
[01:11] <alex_> ??
[01:11] <jrib> ernz: actually, it looks more like a log -- I remember seeing something like that on the fluxbox faq, one sec
[01:11] <ernz> It looks that way to me too jrib, but the options just don't hack it in GNOME Terminal - Perhaps I should be using a different terminal?
[01:11] <Frogzoo> alex_: apt-get install linux-image-2.6.15-25-686            & reboot (will only work on p4 or better)
[01:11] <ernz> KK
[01:12] <alex_> i have a celeron 500 cpu
[01:12] <Frogzoo> alex_: should be fine
[01:12] <alex_> not p4
[01:12] <Frogzoo> think it's p2 actually
[01:12] <jrib> ernz: I don't know how well this works on gnome, but you can look into it: http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net/docs/en/faq.php#roottail
[01:13] <ernz> Will do jrib, thanks for help.
[01:13] <alex_> a686 kernel is for older systems?
[01:13] <alex_> or 4 p4
[01:13] <alex_> ?
[01:13] <Frogzoo> alex_: you should probly uninstall the ubuntu-fglrx-386 first
[01:13] <alex_> how
[01:13] <alex_> to uninstall
[01:13] <Frogzoo> alex_: synaptic
[01:14] <Frogzoo> !fglrx > alex_
[01:14] <yaramaz> hi  have a us robotics 9110 and wireless usb adaptor but my ubuntu(5.10) isn't support it  try to use ndiswrapper but it can't do
[01:14] <alex_> first install 686 or uninstall 386
[01:15] <pradeep> 51488
[01:15] <alex_> ?
[01:15] <aunes> hey all. I'm trying to install wine on the 64bit distro... Being a newbie, I don't really understand how to (and what it means to) install a chroot 32bit system. What will this do to my computer? What will I have to keep up with? I found documentation on how to do the chroot, but I'm kinda scared b/c I don't really know what it does.
[01:15] <Frogzoo> alex_: uninstall  ubuntu-fglrx-386 first, then install linux-image-2.6.15-25-686
[01:16] <Gorlist> Hi
[01:16] <pradeep> hi Gorlist
[01:17] <Gorlist> having some problems with my Audio,
[01:17] <Gorlist> well it works more or less but im slightly confused :)
[01:18] <Subhuman> how so?
[01:18] <Gorlist> well ive got normal desktop speakers, nad a 5.1 USB headphone/mic set
[01:18] <Gorlist> nad - and
[01:18] <Gorlist> can ubuntu use both at the same time?
[01:19] <infeld> like
[01:19] <alex_> have i to remove linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-10-386?
[01:19] <Gorlist> or do I have to use the 'change device' option in the Volume Control system
[01:19] <infeld> dude. like
[01:19] <Subhuman> Gorlist, well it can only output to one at a time, and take input from one at a time
[01:19] <Gorlist> right
[01:19] <monomaniacpat> how do you force quit a program?
[01:19] <Subhuman> so you could have ure desktop speakers and your headsets mic
[01:20] <infeld> will ubuntu let me install without formatting an existing partition?
[01:20] <Gorlist> ok simple enough
[01:20] <infeld> monomaniacpat: xkill
[01:20] <Gorlist> how could I tell which one Buntu is using at anyone time,
[01:20] <Subhuman> Gorlist, like I use a usb mic with my desktops speakerS (i use headphones when im using the mic)
[01:20] <Gorlist> or if I turn on the USB headphone will it automatically use them
[01:20] <Subhuman> Gorlist, I am not sure.
[01:20] <alex_> have i to remove linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-10-386?
[01:21] <rpedro> Gorlist: System>>Preferences>>Sound
[01:21] <Gorlist> ok, part of the problem is im not able to get audio input from the mic
[01:21] <infeld> alex_: yes
[01:21] <rpedro> Gorlist: change the default device there
[01:21] <Gorlist> right i see
[01:21] <infeld> Gorlist: check volume on the mixer, and see if mic is active
[01:22] <monomaniacpat> infeld: that doesn't work: it says usage: -option
[01:22] <Gorlist> is the mixer called Volume Control?
[01:22] <Gorlist> if I open up the window from the speaker symbol top left
[01:23] <infeld> monomaniacpat: dude, it should be installed. or else install it man.
[01:23] <infeld> xkill is sweet
[01:24] <alex_> this remove too? linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-9-386
[01:25] <infeld> will ubuntu let me install without formatting an existing partition?
[01:26] <monomaniacpat> xkill already installed
[01:26] <narfmaster> which is bigger? openoffice or koffice?
[01:26] <infeld> narfmaster: openoffice man
[01:26] <MetaMorfoziS> infield, ubuntu need space, so you may create a new partition, if you don't want to format an other
[01:26] <infeld> narfmaster: openoffice is like, way bigger man
[01:26] <narfmaster> how much bigger?
[01:26] <Gorlist> still not getting any audio input
[01:26] <slonnik> hi al colleagues
[01:26] <Gorlist> select PCM Capture Source to Mic
[01:27] <alex_> this remove too? linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-9-386????????????
[01:27] <bimberi> infeld: yes, just head into 'manually edit the partition table' and tell it which ones are root and swap etc and not to format them
[01:27] <infeld> MetaMorfoziS: i have mandriva already installed in the partition. but i don't wanna lose a lot of documents in my home folder. and i have no way to backup
[01:27] <Frogzoo> alex_: you can leave that - just reboot - the 686 wont use the 386 modules
[01:27] <infeld> bimberi: thanks man. you kick ass
[01:27] <MetaMorfoziS> if no space to backup, wher do you want to isntall ubuntu?:)
[01:28] <infeld> MetaMorfoziS: i want to install it where mandriva is currently installed
[01:28] <bimberi> infeld: ha, np :) - it would be a very good idea if you could find a way to backup (eg. ftp-ing stuff to another pc)
[01:28] <MetaMorfoziS> infield it's impossible
[01:28] <MetaMorfoziS> without format, i think
[01:28] <infeld> MetaMorfoziS: the partition is 20GB, and I have 17GB of my own documents and files
[01:29] <ernz> Can someone help me please, It would appear that I am stupid.
[01:29] <alex_> Paketlisten werden gelesen... Fertig
[01:29] <alex_> Abhngigkeitsbaum wird aufgebaut... Fertig
[01:29] <alex_> E: Konnte Paket linux-image-2.6.15-25-686 nicht finden
[01:29] <alex_> alex@yoman:~$
[01:29] <infeld> MetaMorfoziS: bimberi just said it was possible
[01:29] <slonnik> does anyone use Synce plugin for MultiSync ?
[01:29] <MetaMorfoziS> and other partitions?
[01:29] <jrib> ernz: best to just ask
[01:29] <alex_> he can't found it
[01:29] <aunes> grr. I think the default Ubuntu repositories stink.... Any idea where I can find dchroot?
[01:29] <ernz> I changed on of the menu options in GNOME Terminal (Xterm) that removed the menu. Now when I load xterm, I can't access the menu to turn the menu's back on.
[01:29] <MetaMorfoziS> i don't know what i the possible way... ask bimberi about it...
[01:30] <jrib> ernz: I think ctrl-f10 is default shortcut key
[01:30] <ernz> I can't see which switch would run the terminal with menus either.
[01:30] <narfmaster> aunes, dchroot is in universe
[01:30] <slonnik> can anyone consult me about synce plugin for multisync
[01:30] <ernz> Hang on a sec, right clicking will allow me to access the profiles menu
[01:30] <infeld> MetaMorfoziS: no, no way for other partitions man, theyre stuffed too
[01:30] <stelki> aunes: multiverse I suppose
[01:30] <ernz> Thx again jrib
[01:31] <infeld> MetaMorfoziS: so like i just wanna install ubuntu but keep my stuff man
[01:31] <jrib> ernz: np, I did the same thing once...
[01:31] <ernz> Your usefulness is only surpassed by my newbee idiocy.
[01:31] <jrib> ernz: well we were all there once
[01:31] <stelki> aunes: or perhaps universe, I see it in my apt at least
[01:31] <monomaniacpat> I can't xkill a wine program - help!
[01:31] <alex_> he can't found the linux kernel when i type in  sudo apt-get install linux-image-2.6.15-25-686
[01:32] <aunes> weee! Thanks stelky / narfmaster
[01:32] <alex_> what to do
[01:32] <alex_> `
[01:32] <ernz> Ahh, much better :D
[01:32] <bimberi> infeld: i should say that the technique i've seen described is to boot from a livecd, mount the hdd and delete everything except /home (and /opt and /usr/local) and then install after that - i'm not sure about installing _over_ an existing install sorry
[01:32] <Virono> anyone knows a way to add a special key.. like for example.. I want pressing both right and left mouse buttons, to be treated as pressing alt+ctrl
[01:32] <jrib> alex_: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list please
[01:32] <ernz> I'm sure I'll BBL
[01:32] <ernz> Bye
[01:32] <slonnik> please help me with SynCE plugin
[01:32] <alex_> whats pastebim?
[01:32] <alex_> pastebin
[01:32] <Virono> anyone knows a way to add a special key.. like for example.. I want pressing both right and left mouse buttons, to be treated as pressing alt+ctrl
[01:32] <alex_> ?
[01:32] <bimberi> !pastebin
[01:33] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[01:33] <infeld> bimberi: yeah man i plan to wipe out everything except my stuff man
[01:33] <jrib> Virono: maybe with xbindkeys but I'm not sure how well it works with mouse combos like that
[01:33] <aunes> I'm following a help file. It keeps telling me to put Hoary everywhere but since I'm running 6.06, I should put in Dapper, right?
[01:34] <Virono> jrib thanks
[01:34] <jrib> aunes: what is the help file for?
[01:34] <AlexC> hey
[01:34] <aunes> making a 32bit chroot
[01:35] <ryanakca> hey, when I registered for launchpad, it created a wiki account, how do I change the wiki's username?
[01:35] <Sisyphus> hi all ! i think i need some help .. i have english language default but i want to write in greek.. how can i do that?
[01:35] <jrib> aunes: yeah, changing to dapper makes sense then

[01:37] <cast> alex_: cat /etc/apt/sources.list, then throw up the output on http://rafb.net/paste
[01:37] <Sisyphus> any help with multilanguage input?
[01:38] <alex_> whats cat?
[01:39] <cast> alex_: oh. it's a command to print a file to stdout. you up a terminal, maybe gnome-terminal and type
[01:39] <cast> alex_: cat /etc/apt/sources.list   and that will print the contents of that file to screen
[01:40] <alex_> yo thanks

[01:40] <Gorlist> In the Volume Control PCM catpure Source is set to mic
[01:40] <cast> alex_: if you type "whatis cat" at the terminal, that should give you an answer too
[01:41] <rpedro> Gorlist: is the headset detected?
[01:41] <rpedro> when you plug it in
[01:41] <livingdaylight> Hi, not ubunut related, but...i got an .odt file i want to compress to .gz can someone tell me?
[01:42] <ryanakca> hey, when I registered for launchpad, it created a wiki account, how do I change the wiki's username?
[01:42] <narfmaster> livingdaylight, you could use Archive Manager (file-roller)
[01:42] <rpedro> livingdaylight: open the folder with the file in a nautilus window, then right click -> create archive , done.
[01:42] <livingdaylight> narfmaster: can you say more
[01:42] <livingdaylight> rpedro: ok
[01:42] <narfmaster> what rpedro said :)
[01:42] <infeld> we're all stupid man
[01:42] <livingdaylight>  :)
[01:43] <ryanakca> livingdaylight: open a terminal and type in "gzip filenamegoeshere"
[01:44] <alex_> what i have to do when i throw up it on http://rafb.net/paste
[01:44] <alex_> ?
[01:44] <jrib> alex_: give us the URL
[01:44] <alex_> http://rafb.net/paste/results/k1Wh7s19.html
[01:45] <livingdaylight> rpedro: it says open with archive manager. I see no 'create' anything anywhere.
[01:45] <Gorlist>  rpedro: sorry was getting the dog in. Well it works?
[01:45] <Gorlist> I get sound through it
[01:45] <cast> livingdaylight: alternatively. "gzip filename.odt" will do it
[01:46] <ShadowLurker> Jack_Sparrow?
[01:46] <rpedro> livingdaylight: you right clicked on the file you want to compress?
[01:46] <ShadowLurker> if somebody can help me with Gaim, please go to #UbuntuPalace
[01:47] <alex_> and now?
[01:47] <Gorlist> right I can just about hear myself, its working be really really quiet
[01:47] <livingdaylight> rpedro: sure
[01:47] <rpedro> livingdaylight: what type of file is it ?
[01:48] <livingdaylight> .odt
[01:48] <jrib> alex_: is line 24 really one line in your file?
[01:48] <livingdaylight> rpedro: .odt O.O doc
[01:48] <narfmaster> alex_, you're missing an end-of-line in line 24
[01:48] <rpedro> Gorlist: go into edit->preferences , in volume control
[01:48] <rpedro> and select 'mic boost'
[01:49] <ShadowLurker> IF YOU CAN HELP ME WITH GAIM, PLEASE JOIN #UBUNTUPALACE OR IM ME!
[01:49] <jrib> !caps
[01:49] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[01:49] <ShadowLurker> sry
[01:49] <jrib> ShadowLurker: just ask your question here, or you can try #gaim
[01:49] <Gorlist> theirs Auto Gain Control?
[01:49] <livingdaylight> cast: i did 'gzip filename.odt didn't work?
[01:50] <rpedro> livingdaylight: it won't compress it because it already detects it as compressed file, .odt files are really zip files (I think) with xml ,etc. files inside
[01:50] <livingdaylight> rpedro: ooops
[01:51] <livingdaylight> cast it said no such filename or directory
[01:51] <ome> Anyone know an easy way to assign alt key to one of my mouse buttons?
[01:51] <cyne> hey y'all
[01:51] <livingdaylight> rpedro: can i rename it to something else?
[01:51] <ompaul> foxiness, #foxiness1
[01:51] <Gorlist> wired
[01:51] <ryanakca> when I registered for launchpad, it created a wiki account, how do I change the wiki's username?
[01:51] <jrib> alex_: the reason you don't have linux-image-2.6.15-25-686 is because you are using breezy.  linux-image-2.6.15-25-686 is only available in dapper which is the current stable release of ubuntu.  I'll send you update instructions if you are interested
[01:52] <jrib> !upgrade > alex_
[01:52] <Gorlist> wired, see I can hear alot of background noice, and faintly my voice
[01:52] <alex_> thanks
[01:52] <livingdaylight> anyone know for sure whether .odt files cannot not be gzipped? I thought .odt was just the Open Office equivalent of .doc
[01:52] <mocosuelo> hola alguien en espaol
[01:52] <Gorlist> but regardless of what I adjust it stays quiet

[01:52] <cyne> i've got apache2 and php5 installed but when i connect to apache in the browser, i get the option to download index.php.. what's up with that?
[01:52] <cyne> i've checked in the wiki and nothing is working for me
[01:52] <jrib> cyne: is the php5 module enabled? try 'sudo a2enmod php5'
[01:53] <narfmaster> livingdaylight, anything can be gzipped
[01:53] <ryanakca> livingdaylight: anyfile can be gzipped.
[01:53] <cyne> narfmaster, yes it is
[01:53] <alex_> what is this for a link?
[01:53] <rpedro> livingdaylight: like ryanakca said , you can compress to gzip using terminal, type in 'gzip <filename>'
[01:53] <ryanakca> livingdaylight: open a terminal and type in "gzip filename.odt"
[01:53] <jrib> alex_: dapper upgrade instructions, did ubotu send them to you?
[01:53] <rpedro> livingdaylight: probably not a good idea to just rename it
[01:53] <alex_> i' m interested
[01:54] <cyne> "This module is already enabled!"
[01:54] <alex_> no
[01:54] <jrib> alex_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades
[01:54] <cyne> jrib: yes it is
[01:54] <ryanakca> upgrade to dapper or to edgy?
[01:54] <cyne> jrib, i can't work out why it's not parsing the php for me
[01:55] <CrippsFX> ryanakca, dapper. edgy is not usable yet.
[01:55] <ryanakca> kk, phew...
[01:55] <CrippsFX> :)
[01:55] <jrib> cyne: did you reload apache after enabling it? and clear your browser's cache?
[01:55] <cyne> jrib... ahhh didn't clear the cache, i'll try that
[01:56] <narfmaster> don't you need "libapache2-mod-php" to use php?
[01:56] <cyne> narfmaster, yep got that
[01:56] <cyne> jrib, same thing :(
[01:58] <jrib> cyne: not sure what else to suggest, sorry
[01:59] <cyne> ok thanks anyway

[02:01] <paddedwall> morning everyone - I have a large question - is everyone ready?
[02:02] <paddedwall> System: ASROCK 939 Dual Sata2, AMD64 3500, 1gb PC3200 RAM, nVidia 7900GTX, two SATA1 drives (BIOS set to use SATA1 mode), two EIDE drives, new Lite-On DVD writer.  Boot drive is brnad new Seagate 200gb EIDE.
[02:02] <paddedwall> Tried installing Drake from desktop CD. The install hung up after I clicked "Restart Computer" at the line that reads "Shutting down LVM volume groups...".  After waiting for about 10 minutes, I did a hard reset to see if system would boot.  It got all the way to the point where is was "Loading hardw
[02:02] <paddedwall> well that didn't work...
[02:02] <paddedwall> i'll try it in smaller chunks
[02:02] <paddedwall> System: ASROCK 939 Dual Sata2, AMD64 3500, 1gb PC3200 RAM, nVidia 7900GTX, two SATA1 drives (BIOS set to use SATA1 mode), two EIDE drives, new Lite-On DVD writer.  Boot drive is brnad new Seagate 200gb EIDE.
[02:02] <paddedwall> Tried installing Drake from desktop CD. The install hung up after I clicked "Restart Computer" at the line that reads "Shutting down LVM volume groups...".
[02:03] <paddedwall> After waiting for about 10 minutes, I did a hard reset to see if system would boot.  It got all the way to the point where is was "Loading hardware drivers" and hung.
[02:03] <paddedwall> I tried reinstalling a couple of times, butno joy. Next, I tried to install Breezy. The install couldn't resolve my DHCP connection, and after "detecting hardware", if froze up on an empty blue screen.
[02:03] <paddedwall> Finally, I tried installing Drake from the "alternate" CD. It was almost done installing the system files, and it got to 97% and the status line said "Cleaning up", but it just sat there.
[02:03] <paddedwall> I'm currently downloading PCLinuxOS because it was the first one I could think of that was a single CD install other than Ubuntu.
[02:03] <paddedwall> I don't really want to use PCLinux, but I want to be able to say I've tried anything anyone might come up with.
[02:03] <paddedwall> Does anyone have any ideas that wiull help me get Ubuntu installed?
[02:04] <narfmaster> hmm
[02:04] <narfmaster> wow, dual sata2
[02:05] <narfmaster> not sure if that'll work with Ubuntu
[02:05] <paddedwall> look at the text - it's running two sata1 drives in sata1 mode
[02:05] <narfmaster> i'm using ye olde IDE here
[02:05] <paddedwall> i'm installing onto an ide drive as well
[02:05] <paddedwall> a 200gb ide drive
[02:06] <paddedwall> this is also not a dual-boot configuration
[02:06] <paddedwall> and i'm not running raid
[02:07] <narfmaster> paddedwall, the problem seems to be kernel-related though
[02:07] <paddedwall> if it's kernel related, why doesn't breezy install either?
[02:07] <redblades> Hi, is there a way to configure the appearance of apache webfolders?
[02:07] <narfmaster> it could be your hardware is too new for Breezy
[02:07] <redblades> as in, how the contents look? I'm thinking background color font, etc
[02:08] <paddedwall> this is pretty frsutrating...
[02:09] <truzak> hello, apt-get refuses to apply (keep back) latest libcairo2 updates, anyone else having this issue?
[02:09] <noobian> hi all
[02:09] <narfmaster> paddedwall, it could be your network hardware possibly
[02:09] <paddedwall> you mean the onboard nic?
[02:09] <narfmaster> maybe
[02:10] <Gorlist> ok well it appears to be a driver problem perhaps - though I get audio through the headphone I can't vary the volume, the mic does work but real quiet even with mic boost/gain
[02:10] <Gorlist> any suggestions?
[02:10] <noobian> can anybody help me about kernel compiling?
[02:11] <narfmaster> libcairo2 updates?
[02:11] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, paste the output of 'amixer' in pastebin plz
[02:11] <paddedwall> i'm pretty pissed off that Linux won't install on this box...
[02:12] <Gorlist> pppoe_dude: sorry how do I do that ?
[02:12] <truzak> narfmaster: few hours ago update-manager warned about new updates, but they dont applied...
[02:12] <paddedwall> and most likely because "the hardware is too new"
[02:12] <noobian> can anybody help me about kernel compiling?
[02:12] <narfmaster> paddedwall, you could try shutting down and installing without the sata drives
[02:12] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, run 'amixer > amixer_output.text' then open gedit, select everything and paste in pastebin
[02:12] <pppoe_dude> !pastebin
[02:12] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[02:12] <paddedwall> especially when Windows 2000 doesn't seem to have a problem with it, and that os is 6 years old
[02:13] <paddedwall> i'm not going to disconnect the sata drives just to install Linux...
[02:13] <thesonork> guys maybe u can help me: i got this gericom laptop at home (very old one, this X5Force) and i cannot install linux on it, even the Live cd does not work, whats up there?
[02:13] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, *open amixer_output.text with gedit
[02:13] <paddedwall> Thelive CD boots up fine
[02:13] <paddedwall> why doesn't it boot up fine from an install on a hard drive?
[02:14] <narfmaster> paddedwall, did you install 32 or 64 bit?
[02:14] <paddedwall> 32 bit
[02:14] <Gorlist> ok got it - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16998
[02:14] <wizardjames> how do you restart in line..
[02:14] <Gorlist> their 5.1 USB headphones/mic
[02:15] <ufk> is there something to overcome samba's 2GB file size limit?
[02:15] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, and the problem is with the mic or all audio?
[02:15] <pcmf> Hi
[02:15] <Gorlist> I have no audio volume control & the mic is deadly quiet
[02:15] <Gorlist> even with mic boost
[02:15] <pcmf> Anyone know of a program workable on the latest Ubuntu 6.06 that's similar to Xvidcap?
[02:16] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, oh so this is not from a sound card... just USB?
[02:16] <paddedwall> Ya know what it kinda looks like to me is that the LVM support is broken...
[02:16] <Gorlist> just USB
[02:16] <Gorlist> are their 5.1 USB drivers or something?
[02:16] <pcmf> I need a program to capture my desktop down to an .avi or .mpg/.mpeg file with sound
[02:16] <narfmaster> paddedwall, possibly
[02:16] <pcmf> any suggestions?
[02:16] <richard> help!
[02:16] <wizardjames> How do i restart the computer when i am in x
[02:16] <narfmaster> will VLC capture with sound?
[02:17] <richard> need help with bloothooth
[02:17] <pcmf> VLC?
[02:17] <narfmaster> i'm pretty sure VLC can capture video
[02:17] <paddedwall> maybe I can't use the whole 200gb drive, but I've never seen anything mentioned about drive size limitations...
[02:17] <richard> ie how to connect to my phone - is there a bluetooth package for ubuntu?
[02:17] <pcmf> i'll try VLC then
[02:17] <pcmf> Xvidcap are so old now
[02:17] <Matrikz> wizardjames: what WM are you using?
[02:18] <wizardjames> clb
[02:18] <pcmf> i cant even install it on my machine cause my required libs are too new :D
[02:18] <wizardjames> its something .. 7
[02:18] <S1ixx> need your help lol
[02:18] <Matrikz> don't think i've used that one
[02:18] <wizardjames> theres no WM
[02:18] <Matrikz> no i mean like KDE or iceWM or fluxbox
[02:18] <wizardjames> its linebased right now
[02:19] <wizardjames> trying to get gnome working but it crashed
[02:19] <S1ixx> how do i get the Sound recorder to work properly ?
[02:19] <Matrikz> open up a terminal and type in init 3
[02:19] <S1ixx> when i click record on microphone .. it goes to capture
[02:19] <Matrikz> or quit x
[02:19] <S1ixx> and doesnt record !
[02:19] <Matrikz> i think
[02:19] <Gorlist>  anyideas in the end?
[02:19] <Matrikz> if you use init 3
[02:19] <Matrikz> to get back to x just type in init 4
[02:19] <Matrikz> then log in
[02:20] <S1ixx> how do i get the Sound recorder to work properly ?
[02:20] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, 1 sec
[02:20] <S1ixx> when i click record on microphone .. it goes to capture
[02:20] <S1ixx> and doesnt record !
[02:20] <Gorlist> nps
[02:20] <Pupeno> Hello. Do you know of a caching DNS server more lightweight than Bind to run on my notebook to avoid having to use my ISP's dns servers (which are not working correctly) ?
[02:22] <cast> what spec laptop? wouldn't have thought bind would be a significant load
[02:23] <paddedwall> well, pclinux is done downloading. I'm gonna go see if I can install it on this box...
[02:23] <tiredbones> I'm using breezy. received an email yesterday that has locked up evolution. I can not delete the email, nor ca i do anything else with evolution. The email has an attachment to it, which I think is causing the problem. How can I just get rid of that email?
[02:24] <wizardjames> Woot nvidia is woroking on my tnt2 ..ftw i just had to reconfiger serverx-xorg ..for the 2000 time
[02:24] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist,  try 'amixer set Speaker 50%'
[02:24] <pcmf> Cant seem to find any information about VLc being able to capture my screen into video
[02:24] <pcmf> anyother suggestions?
[02:24] <Gentix> is it possible to convert my system to reiserfs4?
[02:25] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, and tell me what it says on the first line of that output
[02:25] <narfmaster> must have confused VLC with something else
[02:26] <Gorlist> ok trying now
[02:27] <Gorlist> pppoe_dude: amixer set Speaker 50%
[02:27] <vir_novum> why do you want to convert to reiserfs?
[02:27] <Gorlist> sorry
[02:27] <Gorlist> opps
[02:27] <Gentix> vir_novum: it is reiserfs3
[02:27] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, did it give you an output?
[02:27] <Gorlist> pppoe_dude: Simple mixer control 'Speaker',0
[02:27] <Gentix> vir_novum: whats wrong with reiserfs??
[02:27] <pppoe_dude> ok'
[02:27] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, anything different now?
[02:27] <Gorlist> then some other bits below it
[02:28] <vir_novum> just from what i heard the differences in performance were negligible unless you had a huge amount of small files
[02:28] <vir_novum> between reiserfs and say, ext3
[02:28] <os2mac> OK just installed LTS on my Inspiron 8600 it detected my wlan card but when I go enable it I get "SIOCSIFFLAGS: no such file or diretory" and I am using Kubuntu... but doesn't seem anyone is able to help there......
[02:28] <Gorlist> pppoe_dude: no
[02:28] <aunes> grrr.
[02:29] <aunes> looks like I actually have to go back, redownload and reinstall 32 bit ubuntu
[02:29] <Gorlist> right heres what strange, when I adjust the volume on the headphone the volume slider appears on buntu and moves back and forward
[02:29] <Gentix> vir_novum: what people tell me is that reiserfs is faster then ext3
[02:29] <vir_novum> i can't imagine you'd notice a difference if you upgraded
[02:29] <Gorlist> but maks no difference to the volume
[02:29] <pppoe_dude> hmmm
[02:29] <Gorlist> I mean when I use the volume adjust buttons on the headphones
[02:30] <vir_novum> there are some situations where ext3 is better, some where reiser is better, from what i've heard
[02:30] <Gorlist> so its connected with buntu atleast
[02:30] <Fluxboxen> Hi guys, I have NZBperl, everytime i double click it it opens with Gedit. Anyone know how to run perl scripts through terminal properly?
[02:30] <vir_novum> reiser has the slight advantage but it's not very noticible
[02:30] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, what is the name of the headphones exactly?
[02:30] <vir_novum> and I can get windows working with ext3, so that tips the balance
[02:30] <Gentix> vir_novum: okay, but then again. is it possible to convert to reiserfs4?
[02:31] <richard> yay! got bluetooth working on ubuntu
[02:31] <Gorlist> they are SpeedLink Medusa 5.1
[02:31] <vir_novum> like i said, i think you'd have to reformat
[02:31] <pppoe_dude> k
[02:31] <vir_novum> and i doubt you'd notice a differnce
[02:31] <Gentix> vir_novum: okay.. but it is supported by the standard kernel???
[02:31] <Gorlist> right, i just added Speaker 2 to the mixer interface
[02:31] <Fluxboxen> Gorlist, My dad has them, they have good sound but their drivers for windows are abominable
[02:31] <decious> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1202068#post1202068
[02:31] <Gorlist> that controls the volume on the headphones instead of speaker
[02:32] <Gorlist> but again the volume buttons themselfs have no effect
[02:32] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, yes there were two 'speakers' and one of them was muted
[02:32] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, do they work at least?
[02:32] <Gorlist> i get sounds, but no mic
[02:32] <Gorlist> rephrase, I get mic but useless level
[02:33] <mp3guy> how do I run sudo commands on startup without having to enter my password
[02:33] <stevko> I have a question about how to install nvidia driver (I read BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia on wiki). However in /etc/X11/xorg.conf stays Driver "nv" and if I change nv to nvidia, I get "FATAL: Module nvidia not found." anyone can help?
[02:33] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, ok... there is probably a driver issue, because the mixer seems to be *properly* configured
[02:33] <vir_novum> heh, actually i don't think reiserfs4 is supported by the standard kernel, let me look it up
[02:34] <Gentix> k
[02:34] <Gorlist> ok
[02:34] <wastrel> mp3guy:  you can add the command to /etc/sudoers  with the nopasswd flag
[02:34] <Gorlist> are their any other drivers I could try?
[02:34] <killaz> lo guys.... is there a tool in linux which let you just choose colour from a colour wheel....
[02:34] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, unless the mic playback has something to do with it... you can try and increasing that
[02:34] <Calix> hi guys, i installed 5.10 yesterday because the 6.06 cd wouldn't work properly, then i updated 5.10 with 157 meg of stuff, now when i switch my laptop on, all i get is a blank screen, no gnome
[02:34] <Gorlist> i can turn everything to max
[02:34] <cast> vir_novum: its not
[02:35] <wastrel> mp3guy:  or you can just set up the init script that's running it so it has superuser perms
[02:35] <Gorlist> mic is still quiet
[02:35] <mp3guy> wastrel, at what point are those commands run?
[02:35] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, even in the 'capture' tab?
[02:35] <ompaul> killaz, what application
[02:35] <Gentix> cast: there's no reiserfs 4 support
[02:35] <cast> Gentix: agreed.
[02:35] <jorgg> The live CD thing doesnt work, and i want to install ubuntu and use as desktop permanently, what type of iso should i download?
[02:35] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, and the playback tab? make sure you go to EDIT>Preferences and select all the items there
[02:35] <DocTomoe> I am still having problems getting ndiswrapper to work with my kubuntu dapper fresh-from-start-install. I managed to get the non-working bcm-kernel-drivers out of memory, however, ndiswrapper doesn't seem to work either. Any helpful ideas?
[02:35] <cast> i should patch me kernel :), i think it's stable enough
[02:35] <Gentix> cast: okay.. that ends my search!
[02:36] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, or you can try 'alsamixer' and crank up everything there
[02:36] <killaz> ompaul, I dont really need an application but a tool which let me fill in a colour or pick a colour in HTML, RGB, CYMK format
[02:36] <Gorlist> im using the Volume Control
[02:36] <Gorlist> guess thats the right place?
[02:36] <wastrel> mp3guy:  it depends on how you set it up to run on startup
[02:36] <Gorlist> Playbakc is full
[02:36] <Gentix> vir_novum: Thanx for the help!
[02:36] <vir_novum> oh sure, if i was at all :p
[02:36] <os2mac> DOC did you not get your nic auto installed on install?
[02:36] <Gorlist> will try it now
[02:36] <pppoe_dude> Gorlist, try 'alsamixer' and make sure everything is unmuted and full there - sometimes alsa mixer shows more stuf
[02:36] <killaz> ompaul, I'm right now building a website and i need to pick some colours to CSS
[02:36] <vir_novum> anyone have any experience with winmodems?
[02:36] <ompaul> killaz, ahh - then what you want to do is go to gimp and use its wheel
[02:36] <DocTomoe> os2mac: I beg your pardon?
[02:37] <ompaul> !winmodem
[02:37] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[02:37] <vir_novum> did that
[02:37] <os2mac> you said you are using NDISwrapper.....
[02:37] <tiredbones> I'm using breezy. I received an email yesterday that has locked up evolution. I can not delete the email, nor can i do anything else with evolution. The email has an attachment to it, which I think is causing the problem. How can I just get rid of that email?
[02:37] <os2mac> and your using a broadcom nic...
[02:37] <jorgg> Is it possible to install ubuntu without logging into the live desktop function first? What iso should I use?
[02:37] <finalbeta> !chm
[02:37] <ubotu> I know nothing about chm
[02:37] <DocTomoe> os2mac: I said I want to use ndiswrapper, but i do not get a wlan0 interface
[02:37] <pppoe_dude> jorgg, download 'alternate install' CD
[02:37] <killaz> ompaul, I think starting GIMP for this is like using a crane to lift a small bucket of water....
[02:37] <finalbeta> How can I show windows help file format? (compressed html)
[02:37] <vir_novum> my modem worked just fine, then i installed the dapper updates, now it dials veeeerrrry slowly and runs at half speed
[02:37] <ompaul> vir_novum,  I solved one of those the other day by searching on google with the keywords "ubuntu Make Model" it took me 15 minutes
[02:38] <DocTomoe> os2mac: well, I didn't say that, but that's what I meant
[02:38] <ompaul> killaz, well it is all I know
[02:38] <jorgg> pppoe_dude;  okay
[02:38] <kimo_^_> Hi, is it possible to install and use two DIFFERENT java versions on one Linux machine. And point applications to different versions. Please let me know asap ....

[02:38] <os2mac> what type of computer are you on?
[02:38] <ompaul> killaz, and it offers hundreds of meters of lift :-)
[02:38] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, yes and yes
[02:38] <DocTomoe> os2mac: this is an acer extensa laptop
[02:38] <os2mac> Paladine.....

[02:38] <Paladine> been hanging here for a couple of weeks now
[02:39] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, and depends on how clean you want them to be. like, it is not a good idea to install two different Sun java's
[02:39] <os2mac> I am in and out....
[02:39] <Paladine> I greeted you in offtopic, but you ignored me :p
[02:39] <vir_novum> i've got an amd64 processor but I'm running the 32 bit version
[02:39] <Calix> anyone know why my laptop screen is blank when i boot my newly upgraded ubuntu (was 5.10)
[02:39] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, + not possible with apt-get.. only binaries
[02:39] <os2mac> trying to get my wlan nic working on my lappy...
[02:39] <killaz> ompaul, :S ...
[02:39] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, but you can have gnu java and sun java installed and use both
[02:39] <kimo_^_> pppoe_dude, I have no problem installing from non debs ... (from Sun downloads)
[02:39] <Calix> i think its logged into ubuntu, but not showing anything on the screen

[02:40] <Gorlist> i give up
[02:40] <Gorlist> thanks for the help
[02:40] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, well... way i would do it is just issue a '/path/to/java -jar <app name>'
[02:40] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, or write a small shell script that does that
[02:41] <kimo_^_> pppoe_dude, what if the application uses java libs ..
[02:41] <stelki> hey how would I tar -xzf all tgz archives in a directory? (100+ archives)
[02:41] <vir_novum> it goes beep (long pause) beep (long pause) beep.... etc, when it dials
[02:41] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, shouldnt be an issue....
[02:41] <wastrel> beep
[02:41] <kimo_^_> pppoe_dude, how will it be handled ?
[02:42] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, are you running jar fiels?
[02:42] <vir_novum> and it connects at like half the speed it was before
[02:42] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, the java binary iirc will handle the paths to the libs
[02:42] <kimo_^_> pppoe_dude, no, I'm running large applications like oracle
[02:43] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, this is as much as i know... you can try and see if it works
[02:43] <kimo_^_> pppoe_dude, ok thanks a lot :)
[02:43] <pppoe_dude> kimo_^_, you can also try #java
[02:44] <linux_user> trying to install a deb package here, get this error under gdebi----Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: xlibs
[02:44] <linux_user> how would i solve this?
[02:44] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, what are you trying to install?
[02:44] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, opera?
[02:44] <kinema> how do i remove a package (mldonkey-server) that did not fully install because the packager was drunk and screwed up the package?
[02:44] <linux_user> nerolinux
[02:44] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, i believe xlibs was replaced by another package in dapper...
[02:45] <monomaniacpat> I have an application I can't close - xkill doesn't seem to work (sudo wine xkill)
[02:45] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, try 'apt-get -f install' and see if it suggests any packages
[02:45] <Calix> anyone know why my screen is blank? is it because of my laptop specs maybe?
[02:45] <pppoe_dude> monomaniacpat, 'killall <app name>
[02:45] <pppoe_dude> '
[02:45] <linux_user> ppooe_dude apt-get -f install nerolinux?
[02:46] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, without nerophibia
[02:46] <pppoe_dude> oopsp
[02:46] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, without nerolinux
[02:46] <linux_user> ok
[02:46] <cast> doh. you guys aren't supposed to use nero!
[02:47] <narfmaster> i use nrg2iso
[02:47] <linux_user> ppoe_dude 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[02:47] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, oh so nerolinux didn't even extract?
[02:48] <linux_user> i have a nrg file to burn to dvd, unable to figure how to do it
[02:48] <wastrel> linux_user:  is this package from an ubuntu repo?
[02:48] <linux_user> nerolinux?
[02:48] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, nrg2iso
[02:48] <linux_user> cannot figure out the command to run nrg2iso
[02:48] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, apt-get install nrg2iso
[02:49] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, then run it
[02:49] <linux_user> ppoe_dude nrg2iso is installed, unable to figure out the command
[02:49] <narfmaster> linux_user, nrg2iso image.nrg image.iso
[02:49] <linux_user> ive run that command does not work, let me try again
[02:49] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, what narfmaster
[02:49] <pppoe_dude> said
[02:50] <narfmaster> worked fine the last time i tried it
[02:50] <Calix> will i need tom completely re-install ubuntu again now then?
[02:50] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, also try 'man nrg2iso' if u need more info
[02:50] <bina> When I try to install inkscape I get the following error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17000 ./configure doesnt say I'm missing any libraries.  It does it whenever I try to compile something that uses GTK.  does anyone know what the problem might be and how I can fix it?
[02:51] <pppoe_dude> bina, why are you installing from source?
[02:51] <wastrel> bina:  inkscape 0.43 is in the ubuntu repos
[02:51] <linux_user> nrg2iso image.nrg image.iso
[02:51] <linux_user> --version    display version number
[02:51] <linux_user> --help       display this notice
[02:51] <bina> pppoe_dude, I'm trying to install 0.44, only 0.43 is in the repos
[02:51] <linux_user> thats all it does
[02:52] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, nrg2iso --help
[02:52] <linux_user> ok
[02:52] <bina> wastrel: yeah, i want to try 0.44 though :) too impatient to wait :P
[02:52] <narfmaster> inkscape 0.44 has lots of improvements
[02:53] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, did u specify the right nrg image?
[02:53] <linux_user> knew i shouldve left my dvd burner on my windows machine
[02:53] <u221e> Is there a way to change where mplayer looks for the win32 codecs?
[02:53] <linux_user> ppoe_dude yes
[02:53] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, nrg2iso <absolute path to nrg image> image.iso
[02:53] <penguin42> narfmaster: If the 'configure' has said it is ok then it is an inkscape bug; please report it to them - it is possible that you just need to install something, but their configure should have spotted it
[02:53] <linux_user> ppoe no understandy
[02:54] <narfmaster> i installed inkscape binary, i didn't compile it
[02:54] <linux_user> command line is very foreign to me
[02:54] <wastrel> bina you probably need a newer version of that library its complaining about  libpango ...
[02:54] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, for example, 'nrg2iso /home/linux_user/image.nrg target.iso
[02:54] <pppoe_dude> where /home/linux_user/image.nrg is the original IMAGE you wwant to convert
[02:54] <linux_user> ok
[02:55] <bina> wastrel: sweet, I'll try to install it.  I think i might upgrade to dapper if not then hopefully most of my libraries will be upgraded
[02:55] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, if it is easier, change directory to where that image is and replace with nrg2iso ./source.nrg target.iso
[02:55] <monomaniacpat> Can anyone tell me how to force quit a program - how do I get program manager?
[02:55] <pppoe_dude> monomaniacpat, go to a terminal window, type: killall <app name>
[02:56] <penguin42> monomaniacpat: From the 'system' menu, go to 'administration' and then to 'system manager'
[02:56] <mc__> monomaniacpat, alt-F2 xkill
[02:56] <penguin42> monomaniacpat: Sorry 'system monitor'
[02:56] <wastrel> tmtowtdi
[02:56] <pppoe_dude> monomaniacpat, alternatively, type 'top' then press 'k' and select the number of the process running (left column) then press enter and type '9' then enter
[02:56] <mc__> monomaniacpat, killall $appName -9 kills it immidiately
[02:57] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, did it work?
[02:57] <linux_user> naaa, im lost
[02:57] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, where is the .nrg image located?
[02:57] <monomaniacpat> thanks guys, system monitor worked. Couldn't work out the name of the app, as it was wine running a windows prog
[02:57] <linux_user> it should create the iso on the desktop where the nrg is correct?
[02:58] <slonnik> ehmm nobody helps me with synce and multisync
[02:58] <mc__> monomaniacpat,  wine,wineserver,wine-preloader
[02:58] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, if you run it right yes
[02:58] <dsas> !patience > slonnik
[02:58] <linux_user> not happening
[02:58] <Calix> linux_user in windows, the abscolue address is something like c:\downloads\image.nrg
[02:58] <elliot__> hey all, A few days ago I installed ubuntu on a use largest continuous free space partition. This should have been teh 80gb area of the harddrive I left unpartitioned for the installation. Now I can't boot back into windows or my recovery partition. Ubuntu just claims they're not there
[02:58] <Calix> in linux its similar, but different
[02:58] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, did u type cd '~/Desktop'?
[02:58] <linux_user> ppoe yes sir
[02:58] <dsas> slonnik: multisync and synce was flaky at best last time I tried
[02:58] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, are you getting an error?
[02:59] <linux_user> terminal cd /home/linuxuser/Deskto
[02:59] <linux_user> p
[02:59] <pppoe_dude> linux_user, paste all what you are typing and getting in a pastebin
[02:59] <slonnik> sorry what is "flaky" ?
[02:59] <pppoe_dude> !pastebin > linux_user
[02:59] <linux_user> sorry whats a pastebin?
[02:59] <pppoe_dude> !pastebin
[02:59] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[02:59] <dsas> slonnik: Uhm, "unreliable" is probably a better term.
[03:00] <linux_user> Im just wasting your time here, thanks for the help, its much appreciated
[03:00] <slonnik> how can i syncronise my contatcts from Qteck to Ximian ?
[03:01] <wastrel> ximian eh - you can run that on ubuntu?
[03:01] <Calix> i updated my breezy (i think to dapper), and rebooted to complete the install, now all i get when gnome should be loaded is a blank screen, but my laptop is still running, any idea why?
[03:01] <slonnik> I really liked Ubuntu but still can't throw windows off i need syncronisation
[03:01] <pppoe_dude> slonnik, synchronise or import/export?
[03:01] <wastrel> Calix:  probably your x server isn't configured properly
[03:02] <elliot__>  hey all, A few days ago I installed ubuntu on a use largest continuous free space partition. This should have been teh 80gb area of the harddrive I left unpartitioned for the installation. Now I can't boot back into windows or my recovery partition. Ubuntu just seems to ignore them
[03:02] <kinema> has anyone here ever managed to get the mldonkey-server package in universe to install?
[03:02] <Calix> wastrel i ran the recovery and it said something about my x server, but i didn;t know what that meant
[03:03] <wastrel> Calix:  that's the program that manages your display/monitor
[03:03] <Calix> i can only access the recovery, so is it possible to fix it this way?
[03:03] <elliot__> Calix, what graphics card do you have?
[03:03] <narfmaster> elliot__, from the live CD?
[03:03] <wastrel> calix, try running  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:04] <elliot__> yeah
[03:04] <Calix> wastrel - a via 64mb onboard km400/kn400 i believe
[03:04] <JdGordon> help, how do i get gcc working? ive just installed the gcc package but it still wont compile anything
[03:04] <slonnik> sorry guys
[03:04] <RustyJames> elliot__, can you mount the windows partitions?
[03:04] <Calix> ok, thanks
[03:04] <narfmaster> elliot__, did you try rebooting the live CD
[03:04] <slonnik> i need syncroisation likw with windows XP
[03:04] <elliot__> oh, I not running off the live CD, I installed using it
[03:04] <Calix> thank the lord for dual boot lol
[03:04] <slonnik> when i syncronise my Outlook with Pocket PC
[03:04] <elliot__> no rusty I can't
[03:04] <monomaniacpat> anyone know how to view game cd's with wine installed or how to get steam to install properly?
[03:04] <furax_> hi, i try to install xubuntu but during install, i have a black screen with 2 small white square ... I try to burn another image and to change CD-ROM drive but It always freeze ...
[03:05] <slonnik> so i wonna synchornise Evolution
[03:05] <narfmaster> elliot__, i was thinking you could examine the partitions again using the live CD
[03:05] <RustyJames> elliot__, can you see the other partitions e.g. with fdisk ?
[03:05] <elliot__> oh, ok, I'll try that now, I  will be back
[03:06] <slonnik> i am eager to throw windows out but i can't do it till i make such PocketPC syncroisation on Ubuntu
[03:06] <elliot__> no never tried fdisk?
[03:06] <penguin42> furax_: You might like to try doing an install from the server or alternate cds - its a much smaller install; if that works then you can try adding other stuff
[03:06] <Calix> slonnik i have no experience with these 2 programs, but is there not an export setting/ export contacts etc option on 1, and an import on the other?
[03:06] <elliot__> how'd u use it
[03:06] <monomaniacpat> anyone? anyone at all?!
[03:06] <RustyJames> try fdisk -l
[03:06] <RustyJames> as root
[03:06] <wastrel> !anyone
[03:06] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:07] <furax_> penguin42: I use the alternate CD
[03:07] <slonnik> Calix you may be right but import exprot is not 100% exact what i am lookin' for
[03:07] <elliot__> no, just
[03:07] <elliot__> /dev/sdd1               2       36481   293025600    f  W95 Ext'd (LBA)
[03:07] <elliot__> /dev/sdd5               2       36481   293025568+   7  HPFS/NTFS
[03:07] <penguin42> furax: when you get these two white squares - the rest of the screen is just black? What was the last thing on the screen before that happened?
[03:07] <pppoe_dude> oops
[03:07] <Calix> ok, no problem, just thought i might suggest it
[03:07] <elliot__> oh ok, how do I mount the second partition? sdd5?
[03:08] <elliot__> or, boot from the first or second
[03:08] <RustyJames> elliot__, these are windows partions
[03:08] <slonnik> Calix I really engoyed Ubuntu but still need syncronisation
[03:08] <theplatypus> Problem with upgrading to Dapper. Stalled for 15 minutes or so at " Checking and creating device nodes ... * Starting Bluetooth services... hcid sdpd"  Any thoughts?
[03:08] <elliot__> ok, how do I boot from them
[03:08] <RustyJames> elliot__,you have to configure grub
[03:08] <elliot__> how? (thanks for the help by the way!)
[03:09] <penguin42> theplatypus: Have you got many peripherals plugged in - I'm wondering if there is one that is confusing it?
[03:09] <theplatypus> penguin42 : A usb flash drive is plugged in
[03:10] <penguin42> theplatypus: Hmm, that shouldn't be a problem - nothing else?
[03:10] <narfmaster> elliot__, if you have a Windows rescue disk, that would be handy
[03:10] <RustyJames> elliot__, you have to edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:10] <theplatypus> penguin42 : just the usual keyboard and mouse(non USB)
[03:10] <furax_> penguin42 : yes the rest of the screen is black, is during the last stage installation but i don't exactly know the percentage. there's no problem during the install of base
[03:10] <elliot__> nope, sorry, I don't even have an installation disk for windows, it an HP machine, just the sdd1 for recovery
[03:10] <RustyJames> elliot__, normally ubuntu writes an entry for windows into it
[03:11] <elliot__> it hasn't this time
[03:11] <furax_> penguin42: I have the 3 same PC so I will try to another know ... perhaps a memory problem
[03:11] <Klaidas> Hello. Is there a way to look how much bandwidth has been used on a specific port since reboot? Example, how would I see how much traffic has been used on port 6667 since I booted my system this morning. Maybe using iptables or something like that? :)
[03:11] <penguin42> furax_: Yeh it's a bit odd
[03:12] <penguin42> Klaidas: I can kind of see how you could do with it iptables ish - you can create a rule that matched that port and accepted - it then has stats showing you how many packets (not bytes?) matched that rule
[03:12] <theplatypus> penguin42 : I don't actually use bluetooth on this pc
[03:12] <penguin42> theplatypus: Can you turn the bluetooth port off on the PC?
[03:12] <RustyJames> elliot__, ok you should add an entry to /boot/grub/menu lst: \n root            (hd3,4)
[03:12] <theplatypus> penguin42 : I'm not sure
[03:12] <Klaidas> Well, is there something for bytes? :/
[03:12] <RShadow> I need some help.. I removed my /etc/postfix directory (so I could start from scratch) but now postfix won't install because apparently it wan'ts postfix-script in that directory (why it isn't including with the postfix package is beyond me).. but what do I do now?
[03:13] <RustyJames> elliot__, if your windows is on sdd5
[03:13] <monomaniacpat> I want to access game cd's with Wine, but the files are invisible? Is there a particular file from appdb I could use to sort this out?
[03:14] <m_tadeu> which program do you recomend for configuring iptables?
[03:14] <hawkaloogie> m_tadeu, i've been using Firestarter
[03:14] <gnomefreak> m_tadeu: firestarter
[03:15] <RShadow> (sorry wasn't authed before) ... need some help with reinstalling postfix if I removed /etc/postfix .. how can I?? am I looking at reinstall of the OS?
[03:15] <m_tadeu> thx guys ;)
[03:15] <theplatypus> wtf? Now my root password doesn't work
[03:16] <RustyJames> elliot__, here is a description of recovering grub but it is in german: http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Grub?action=show&redirect=Bootloader
[03:16] <snoops>  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[03:17] <snoops> ^ not in german
[03:17] <RShadow> any ideas?
[03:18] <theplatypus> I get the feeling that this upgrade has completely hosed my system
[03:18] <pequatre> hi. i'm on a lan and i'd like that at the end of a script of mine on pc1, pc1 automatically sends a message to pc2 telling him to "Beep". I've installed the Beep package on both computers. Any idea or pointers ? thx.
[03:18] <hawkaloogie> theplatypus, does sudo still work? sudo passwd
[03:18] <RustyJames> elliot__, or here is something in english: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_restore_GRUB_menu_after_Windows_installation
[03:20] <theplatypus> hawkaloogie :yes, it still works
[03:20] <m_tadeu> my synCE is telling me i have firewall rules that my prevent it from working correcly...can anyone help me with this?
[03:21] <davro_> anyone having problems with x freezing, keeps doing it to me about 3-5 times a day.
[03:22] <narfmaster> reinstalling packages can be a real pain when they don't want to uninstall
[03:22] <theplatypus> should I kill this upgrade and try again?
[03:22] <narfmaster> davro_, while doing what?
[03:23] <RustyJames> davro_, only X or your whole system?
[03:23] <davro_> while im work, while it standing idle, tryed running different kernels, window managers, disabling screen saver you name it
[03:23] <Dapperguy> hey, was wondering how to, or if there is a specifi package for doing a baseline test for a web app
[03:23] <furax_> penguin42: ok i start the installation on an other PC but exactly the same ... (i hope it works, it's for blender workshop in the  libre software meeting in 2 days)
[03:23] <RShadow> I guess I'm looking at a complete reinstall of the os?
[03:23] <RustyJames> cause i got the same problem
[03:23] <davro_> Locks X but i can't event Ctrl+Alt+Backspace out, whole system locks.
[03:24] <bbrazil> Dapperguy: there's an apache benchmark thingy, I forget the package name
[03:24] <penguin42> furax_: Well good look on the other pc - be careful you are probably going to have to have a fight with 3D drivers if you are doing blender
[03:24] <davro_> I just cannot pinpoint the problem to any area of the system, and it really issing me off.
[03:24] <RustyJames> davro_, what system is it u are using? im using a toshiba laptop and it also freezes from time to time everthing else just works fine
[03:25] <bbrazil> Dapperguy: ah, 'ab' in apache2-utils
[03:25] <wastrel> RShadow:  have you tried apt-get install --reinstall postfix
[03:25] <RShadow> wastrel: yes.. doesn't work either
[03:25] <furax_> penguin42: no pb with drivers at the moment the problem is install !!! ;)
[03:25] <penguin42> furax_: Nod
[03:25] <Dapperguy> bbrazil, k , how do i run that from the command line?
[03:25] <davro_> running a sony vaio pcg-z1rmp with dapper drake, belive its an ati gfx card
[03:25] <wastrel> RShadow:  have you used the -f (force)  flag?
[03:25] <bbrazil> Dapperguy: you'll have to check the manpage, I don't know offhand
[03:25] <RShadow> wastrel I'll give it a shot
[03:26] <Dapperguy> bbrazil, k thanks
[03:26] <wastrel> RShadow:  sry that may be --force=yes
[03:26] <kinema> 1280*1024 is killing me... what is the best way to edit xorg's conf to up my max resolution to the 1600*1200 that i'm used to?
[03:26] <wastrel> RShadow:  no its  -f
[03:27] <Dapperguy> bbrazil, since it is bugzilla using mysql and apache, does this test all three?
[03:27] <penguin42> kinema: Look for some   Modes "1280x1024" and change them to "1600x1200" - but that will only work if everything else believes it can go upto 1600x1200
[03:27] <RShadow> wastrel: nope.. doesn't work
[03:28] <RustyJames> davro_,  you know what ati gfx? cause i think there could be the problem. ive got a radeon x200 on my system
[03:28] <penguin42> kinema: Worth seeing if System->Preferences->Screen Resolution believes in it?
[03:28] <theplatypus> What is the worst that could happen if I restart the upgrade process?
[03:28] <wastrel> RShadow:  try downloading the package with  -d and installing it with dpkg -i
[03:28] <davro_> RustyJames: So there is no real fix for this freezing bug, will have a look at the gfx card one sec.
[03:28] <boga> How do I solve this problem...Your audio capture settings are invalid. Please correct them in the Multimedia settings."?
[03:28] <RShadow> wastrel: I'll give it a shot
[03:29] <davro_> RustyJames: lspci said VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M6 LY
[03:29] <RustyJames> davro_, well i didnt find any soution till now.
[03:29] <elliot___> I am having trouble booting to my fat32 (recovery) and ntfs (winxp) partitions? Any ideas? Grub won't list them, they are located as sdd1 and sdd5
[03:30] <bryanl> anyone here running apache 2.2?
[03:30] <RShadow> wastrel: were is the apt-get cache located at?
[03:30] <wastrel> RShadow:  /var/cache/apt/archives/
[03:30] <elliot___> bryanl, I tryed to, it ruined my apt-get setup
[03:30] <RustyJames> davro_, well its a diffren gfx card but also the mobility
[03:30] <elliot___> it cycles through it each time trying to set it up
[03:31] <bryanl> elliot___: i have it in /usr/local/apache2 now... but i would prefer it as a deb..
[03:31] <RShadow> wastrel: nope.. same issue.. starts to install but says that /etc/postfix/postfix-script is missing
[03:31] <davro_> RustyJames: i have read on the ubuntuforums of people having freezing problems that are running nvida chipsets so ?
[03:31] <Ignite_> agh, i'm using Photoshop in crossover office, trouble is, i need to press alt and click at the same time for some tools but gnome (metacity?) takes over and makes me move the window, how do i disable it please?
[03:32] <penguin42> Ignite_: Try system->preferences->key shortcuts ?
[03:32] <RustyJames> elliot___, have you tried to add the grub entry mannually? your sdd5 should be hd(3,4) for grub
[03:32] <Ignite_> penguin42, thanks :)
[03:32] <wastrel> RShadow:  you've got a broken package but there's ways to fix it with apt, i just don't know them
[03:32] <penguin42> Ignite_: Not sure it will help, worth a go
[03:32] <RustyJames> davro_, so its another problem
[03:32] <penguin42> Ignite_: How well does crossover work for photoshop?
[03:33] <RustyJames> davro_, i also have the feeling that it freezes faster if im running firefox
[03:33] <RShadow> wastrel: hmmm.. ok.. I'll see what I can figure out... however I'm really really really staring to miss my emerge command :(
[03:33] <davro_> RustyJames: Think so but im not sure, i have just finished downloading the debian iso, so i think im going back to debian, this is silly as there seems to be no rush to sort/find/fix the problem/bug whatever.
[03:33] <Ignite_> penguin42, the latest release has a bug with TWAIN drivers or something, i'm using 5.0 but 5.0.1 and up have the bug, it works perfectly for PS 7 but anything later is no go i'm afraid
[03:34] <penguin42> Ignite_: Nod - it is always a little hit and miss
[03:34] <Ignite_> yeah, shame really
[03:34] <fwtest> in which package can i find dnet.h ? i have installed libdnet and libdnet-dev, still it cant find dnet.h in my system
[03:34] <truzak> will there be a libfreetype6 2.2.1 for dapper?
[03:35] <RShadow> wastrel: just got a tip in #ubuntu-server .. for future ref.. apt-get remove postfix --purge was what I need :)
[03:35] <wastrel> purge eh
[03:35] <wastrel> ok
[03:35] <RustyJames> davro_, yes im also pissed off because everything else worked really fine but if the system falways reezes you cant really use it
[03:35] <Ignite_> penguin42, can't seem to find the alt+click one in there, going to have a play with gconf
[03:36] <No1Viking> How do I secure my computer from rootkits?
[03:36] <theplatypus> how do I stop this update manager?
[03:36] <narfmaster> penguin42, go to Preferences > Windows
[03:36] <theplatypus> can't find it with Top
[03:36] <penguin42> narfmaster: Ah good point
[03:36] <davro_> RustyJames: Real shame i liked ubuntu, but i cannot work in hope that it not going to freeze every hour or two.
[03:37] <Ignite_> No1Viking, chkrootkit
[03:37] <jbroome> No1Viking: don't put it on the 'net
[03:37] <fwtest> there is no dnet.h?
[03:37] <RustyJames> has somone else those freezing problems?
[03:37] <davro_> Might even go as far as to get my old 98 box out, proberly get more uptime with it =)
[03:37] <penguin42> davro_: Does it only hang under some circumstances? e.g. while running a screen saver is a classic
[03:37] <RustyJames> davro_, yes the same for me
[03:38] <penguin42> davro_/RJ: So 1) Do you guys share any common hardware  2) Is it entirely random?  3) After reboot is there anything in the logs?
[03:38] <davro_> penguin42: i have disabled the screen saver, remove about as many services as i can, just cannot pin point the problem, along with many other people, DEV's where are you.
[03:39] <wizardjames> whats a guide on how to do apache and such..
[03:39] <RustyJames> penguin42,  1) we both have a ati mobility gfx card, but systems with nvidia also report problems
[03:39] <wastrel> i have ati mobility
[03:39] <No1Viking> jbroome, is it your way to do it?
[03:39] <Ignite_> hrm, i've changed it from alt+click to move a window to super+click, but now Photoshop doesn't seem to recieve the click, any ideas?
[03:40] <penguin42> davro_/RustyJames: Are you running the ATI closed drivers or running with a dumb frame buffer?
[03:40] <davro_> penguin42: checked log files, found nothing! tryed kernels from 15-25 to 15-20
[03:40] <RustyJames> penguin42, 2) it seems randomly im trying to pin point it down but that could take a long time
[03:40] <No1Viking> Ignite_, thanks. Worked well
[03:40] <finalbeta> How can I make a program like azureus shut down cleanly when I shut down the PC? Every time I boot azureus says it wassn't shut down properly.
[03:40] <Ignite_> No1Viking, no worries :)
[03:40] <bill[1] > Assigning a hotkey to homedirectory doesn't work.  (assign correctly, no action on keypress), any ideas?
[03:41] <davro_> penguin42: Im running the ATI Mobilitity M6 chipset but i know people that are running nvida chipsets that are having problems
[03:41] <wastrel> what problems with ati mobility?
[03:41] <penguin42> davro_: Nod, I'm just saying its worth trying with the dumb vesa framebuffer and get rid of the binary drivers - just to see if that is the problem
[03:42] <RustyJames> penguin42, at first i used the fglry driver but there was another bug that my mouse freezes after some time now i use the radeon
[03:43] <RustyJames> penguin42, fglrx i mean
[03:43] <penguin42> nod
[03:44] <davro_> penguin42: Kinda seems pointless if other people are having the same problem, running without radeon drivers, kinda rules out the radeon drivers in a fashion.
[03:44] <narfmaster> i've only seen a crash when there was memory leaking quickly
[03:44] <milla> hello
[03:44] <penguin42> davro_: You can't be sure if two random crashes are actually the same problem
[03:45] <milla> how do i make sudo to mount automatically my NTFS drives?
[03:45] <mormoloc> how do you install the new version of openoffice (2.0.3), is there a .deb pakage yet?
[03:45] <milla> how do i make sudo to mount automatically my NTFS drives everytime I boot ubuntu
[03:46] <RustyJames> penguin42, davro_ , what i noticed it was always on a laptop, the freezing problem
[03:46] <furax_> penguin42: exactly the same thing with the other PC at about 70%
[03:46] <PFA> !tell milla about ntfs
[03:46] <wastrel> what's the freezing problem?
[03:46] <penguin42> furax_: *weird* does the machine respond to a ctrl-alt-f1 or the like?
[03:46] <wastrel> i've had several freezes in dapper on my laptop
[03:46] <narfmaster> you ever see a freeze while top was running?
[03:47] <davro_> Nope no responce, have to hard-reboot to get anything.
[03:47] <RustyJames> wastrel, ubuntu freezes randomly, without doing anything specific
[03:47] <penguin42> so all 3 of you seeing it are laptop users? Hmm -  power management type problem?
[03:47] <wastrel> RustyJames:  yes i've had that, usually when i've got some program pegging the cpu with a lot of computations.
[03:47] <davro_> Had a freeze while working many times, and had a freeze while idle.
[03:47] <RustyJames> e.g. while browsing an chatting and listening to music
[03:47] <dipnlik_> my xubuntu freezes sometimes
[03:47] <wastrel> RustyJames:  if i wait for that cpu hog to stop it usually unfreezes
[03:48] <milla> hello, how do i set this up to mount the NTFS drives automatically?
[03:48] <wastrel> it's gnome freezing, the x server still moves the mouse pointer
[03:48] <dipnlik_> but i noticed my problem is opengl or youtube videos
[03:48] <nanaki_yamabushi> hi I have a small problems. Accidently I made my Desktop folder as root. is there a way I can undo that?
[03:48] <penguin42> wastrel: Your problem doesn't sound as severe as the other two guys
[03:48] <furax_> penguin42: it seems to respond but the screen doesn't change (I see it works with the Num Lock ... when I switch to F2, num lock disapear and when switch to F1 it appears ...) CTRL-ALT-SUPR work too
[03:48] <RustyJames> wastrel, no its not that it totally freezes you cant do anything and also while low cpu use
[03:48] <RaoulMillais> can anyone recommend a good ext3 fs driver for windows?  theres a so many to choose from
[03:48] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: as root, chown youruser Desktop
[03:48] <wastrel> ah, no i may have had that once
[03:48] <nanaki_yamabushi> penguin24: how do you mean?
[03:49] <davro_> I have tryed many wm's, gnome, kde, blackbox, fluxbox but still it froze.
[03:49] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: How did you chown it to root ?
[03:49] <wastrel> but usually the mouse moves and i can kill X with ctrl-alt-backspace if i want
[03:49] <milla> how do i make sudo to mount automatically my NTFS drives?
[03:49] <penguin42> furax_: Oh weird - is this the same type of system?
[03:49] <RustyJames> wastrel, and no key combination works(CTRL-ALT-F1 or CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE
[03:49] <nanaki_yamabushi> It got to root when I installed AIM, which needed to be done in root
[03:49] <furax_> penguin42: yes exactly the same !
[03:49] <penguin42> furax_: OK, sounds like something it doesn't like about the machine - tell me about the machine
[03:50] <redmonkey> hi. is there a little tool for gnome that checks if there are new emails waiting on my pop3 account?
[03:50] <Subhuman> redmonkey, yes evolution has a notifier app.
[03:51] <furax_> penguin42: it's a dell celeron
[03:51] <furax_> penguin42: integrated video card, i think intel i8xx
[03:51] <Cyberai> I just upgraded to dapper and now I have no sound. I had sound fine under breezy. Xmms, Ogle, totem, all have no sound. I don't even get the "tinkly" sound when I log in.
[03:51] <davro_> Seems there are enought people getting this problem, theres a poll at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204588
[03:51] <Cyberai> is this a common thing?
[03:51] <furax_> penguin42: it works with the live CD
[03:52] <redmonkey> Subhuman, thank you
[03:52] <earthen> could some one tell me how I can change the refresh rate for my monitor, the gui selector in "System-> Preferances -> screen res" only give me one option of 75
[03:52] <penguin42> furax_: any peripherals?
[03:52] <Subhuman> Cyberai, no, ive had no issues after upgrade
[03:52] <milla> ok
[03:52] <Subhuman> earthen, its defined in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:52] <milla> now, i need some MP3 playback, which i dont have
[03:52] <nanaki_yamabushi> penguin24: can you help in private message please
[03:52] <milla> how do i do that?
[03:52] <earthen> I don't see the option of in the xorg.conf file
[03:52] <wastrel> !mp3 > milla
[03:52] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: No, there may be others here who would learn from any advice or could correct me
[03:53] <Subhuman> milla,
[03:53] <furax_> penguin42: nothing, only an hard disk and a CD-ROM drive
[03:53] <Subhuman> !restricedformats
[03:53] <ubotu> I know nothing about restricedformats
[03:53] <Subhuman> !mp3
[03:53] <earthen> Subhuman, ware and what do i have to change in that file

[03:53] <penguin42> furax_: I take it you've tried another burn of the cd ?
[03:53] <nanaki_yamabushi> ah cna ya help me step by step Penguin24. I am still not used to root and that stuff
[03:53] <redmonkey> Subhuman, is the app that you mean in the evolution-plugins package?
[03:53] <furax_> penguin42: i try another burn, another cdrom drive ... verify the md5 ...
[03:53] <milla> mm
[03:53] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: OK, first open a terminal
[03:53] <amortvigil> help ik heb gister een server geinstalleert maar nu is opeens mijn ip veranderd:S
[03:54] <nanaki_yamabushi> Amor vraag dat eens in #ubuntu-nl
[03:54] <milla> hello, can someone help me out to setup mp3?
[03:54] <furax_> penguin42: i know try to install without language support, i remember hear about a bug with nls
[03:54] <Subhuman> earthen, you shouldnt really edit it manually, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and then when it comes to asking questions about your monitor, go to "expert" (i think) and put in the vert/horiz rates (theyll be in youre monitors spec list if you can find it_
[03:54] <penguin42> furax_: I wonder whether the install really has crashed or whether it is just X ?
[03:54] <amortvigil> nanaki yes i see:P
[03:54] <Subhuman> redmonkey, it should be built into evolution.
[03:54] <penguin42> furax_: I.e. if you just leave it will it finish?
[03:54] <nanaki_yamabushi> milla: I just used synaptic and installed all revelant MP3 and Mpeg libs
[03:54] <Subhuman> redmonkey, i havent used evolution in a while but i know the app exisitnfs.
[03:55] <furax_> penguin42: the install crash, i use alternate cd beacuse it's extremmly slow with the live CD
[03:55] <milla> ok
[03:55] <earthen> Subhuman, well I've allready setup some of it my self to get duel head working and I had to do it to get the ATI 3d drivers working
[03:55] <penguin42> furax_: Quite a few people seem to have seen that; how much RAM has this machine got?
[03:55] <furax_> penguin42: i let it finish during 1 hour but it doesn't boot
[03:55] <Subhuman> earthen, well i nthat case
[03:55] <jsimmons> drake hates me
[03:56] <furax_> penguin42: 256 Mo
[03:56] <penguin42> that ain't too bad
[03:56] <milla> got another issue, i have on my desktop two folders that i want to delete, the thing here is that it doesnt allow me to, is there any command to delete folders from the terminal
[03:56] <amortvigil> i installed a server yesterday but i think its dinamic so it changed today :S how can i change it back?
[03:56] <nanaki_yamabushi> Penguin24: how do I get to do it to get my desktop back as my user
[03:56] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: OK, open a terminal
[03:56] <nanaki_yamabushi> penguin24: is open
[03:56] <Subhuman> earthen, in the section  "montior" , there is a horizsync and a vertrefresh values.find those values for your montior and enter them in, then you should be able to select the refresh rates your monitor supports.
[03:57] <cast> amortvigil: what does dinamic mean?
[03:57] <earthen> Subhuman, with LCD monitors it should be set to 60 I think
[03:57] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: now do an    ls -l Desktop        and show me the line it gives, and tell me your username on your system
[03:57] <furax_> penguin42: do you think i can try server or oem install ?
[03:57] <jsimmons> what does "completely removed ntfsprogs" mean?
[03:57] <Tom06> hi everyone
[03:57] <penguin42> furax_: I'd say the server is worth it
[03:57] <Tom06> i need some help
[03:57] <penguin42> furax_: I'd give it a 50% chance it is X related
[03:57] <Subhuman> jsimmons, it removes all dependencies too.
[03:57] <milla> ??
[03:57] <cast> Tom06: just ask, rather than adding lines of noise to the room
[03:57] <amortvigil> cast: that everytime i restart my router my ip changes
[03:57] <milla> what's the command to delete from the terminal
[03:57] <penguin42> milla: rm
[03:57] <jsimmons> subhuman what dependencies?
[03:57] <furax_> penguin42: but it's stange it's happen during the install and the install is in text mode
[03:57] <nanaki_yamabushi> penguin24: i get several lines. which one exactly?
[03:58] <mc__> milla, you should google for a basic intodruction to unix
[03:58] <penguin42> furax_: Maybe it is trying to configure the x server package when it installs it
[03:58] <Subhuman> jsimmons, any that ntfsprogs required that other aps do nto need.
[03:58] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: Sorry, do    ls -ld Desktop
[03:58] <Tom06> i have a freshly istalled ubuntu , it boots up fine and after login in i get a garbled box and the PC freezes
[03:58] <cast> amortvigil: oh. dynamic. so your ip changed, and you want to change it back? heh
[03:58] <Tom06> i tried reconfiguring x but it didnt work
[03:58] <jsimmons> subhuman okay
[03:59] <nanaki_yamabushi> Penguin24: this is the line "drwxr-xr-x 5 root nanaki 4096 2006-07-02 15:12 Desktop" and my user name is nanaki
[03:59] <milla> how do I delete directories from terminal, rm is for files only.
[03:59] <jsimmons> 64bit drake is stuck at 97% in the installation process
[03:59] <nanaki_yamabushi> milla: use rm -rf <dir>
[03:59] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: OK, in the terminal type   sudo chown -R nanaki  Desktop
[03:59] <jsimmons> hd light is on steady
[03:59] <furax_> penguin42: ok perhaps, i know there was a problem 2 or 3 year ago with those PC (We have to use 845patch) but know it's in xorg standart release
[03:59] <nanaki_yamabushi> penguin24: Done, now what?
[03:59] <penguin42> furax_: It's not unusual for bugs to return
[03:59] <Tom06> i have a freshly istalled ubuntu , it boots up fine and after login in i get a garbled box and the PC freezes
[03:59] <jsimmons> i can't seem to get this freakin thing installed
[04:00] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: You should find that Desktop is now owned by you
[04:00] <milla> thanks
[04:00] <davro_> Tom06: welcome to ubuntu, my X or System freezes about once every hour or two.
[04:00] <jsimmons> mouse is frozen too
[04:00] <nanaki_yamabushi> penguin24: looks like it
[04:00] <milla> how do i install mp3 playback?
[04:00] <[nycff-1] pete> hi i've been getting a wiping effect on my monitor, what are the settings that could be causing this? i already editting the xorg.conf and took out resolutions that my monitor did not support.
[04:00] <Subhuman> Tom06, have you done a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ??
[04:00] <milla> ive already read those pages of formats...
[04:00] <Tom06> yes
[04:01] <Tom06> to no avail
[04:01] <elliot__> pete, descrime the effect
[04:01] <Subhuman> [nycff-1] pete, that sounds like a refresh rate issue
[04:01] <nanaki_yamabushi> penguin24: yep got it back. many thanks
[04:01] <Subhuman> change it until it stops, some monitors are real picky about it (my friend has the exact same issue)
[04:01] <furax_> penguin42: i will stay in front of the PC to see wich package cause problem
[04:01] <jsimmons> anyone else here rubnning a asrock motherboard?
[04:01] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: I'm curious, how did you break it in the first place?
[04:01] <davro_> Has system freezes every hour been as some sort or usablity feature, saving rsi etc.
[04:01] <wheels351972> How do I restore GRUB on my MBR I re-installed an OS after Ubuntu was installed
[04:01] <penguin42> furax_: Might be worth seeing if a /var/log/installer was left on the machine after crash and see what was left in it
[04:02] <[nycff-1] pete> subhuman, i agree but i cannot change the refresh rate in basic settings and don't know where to edit xorg.conf to change the refresh rate. my monitor supports 60 and 75, but the refresh rate is set at 76 for some reason
[04:02] <nanaki_yamabushi> other question. is anyone using yahoo or Aim for linux?
[04:02] <Subhuman> davro_, you sure ure install/upgrade went okay? dapper has been more stable than any linux distro for me
[04:02] <jsimmons> i've been trying to install ubuntu for 2 freakin' days
[04:02] <penguin42> wheels351972: Typically grub-install /dev/hda   but you want to make sure you add your other OSs to it
[04:02] <penguin42> nanaki_yamabushi: Yes, use the 'gaim' package
[04:02] <Dapperguy> is there an open source equivalent to citrix, for linux ?
[04:02] <furax_> penguin42: ok thancks
[04:03] <dsas> !grub
[04:03] <Subhuman> [nycff-1] pete, thats probably your problem, run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and youll get to a bit about your monitor, you can define the correct resolutions and refresh rates there.
[04:03] <nanaki_yamabushi> penguin42: is what i am using right now. but I mean original yahoo or aim, because gaim is working on my nerves with file transfers
[04:03] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:03] <davro_> Subhuman: Who know mate upgraded a while back only within the last couple of weeks has it been playing up.
[04:03] <[nycff-1] pete> subhuman, alright gimme a second
[04:03] <tbenita> Hi what source do I need in order to find slapd-dev ?
[04:03] <Dapperguy> as in, Presentation/Metaframe server
[04:03] <lz1gjd> after installing apache package what should I do to make the server work, i copy the contents to the /srv dir. but it does not work
[04:04] <Tom06> anything i could try?
[04:04] <milla> can someone teach me something interesting to do with linux?
[04:04] <jsimmons> why does the live cd boot fine, but install fails?
[04:04] <Paladine> lz1gjd, readng the documentation on apache's website is the best start you can get
[04:04] <penguin42> Dapperguy: Do you particularly need it to be compatible with citrix terminals or do you just want to do the same type of thing?
[04:04] <Tom06> im using the alternative cd btw
[04:04] <lz1gjd> oh, thx Paladine ;)
[04:04] <Dapperguy> Penguin, same type of thing
[04:04] <Tom06> login sceen comes up fine
[04:04] <nanaki_yamabushi> milla: you can use it as you do with windows.
[04:04] <wheels351972> I have tried that but getting no where how doI know where my installs are
[04:04] <Tom06> but after loging in i get a garbled box
[04:04] <davro_> Not to worry debian disk just finished burning.
[04:05] <Tom06> and the system becomes unresponsive
[04:05] <CrazyDoode> milla: http://www.cyberdiem.com/vin/learn.html
[04:05] <Dapperguy> Penguin, but if the citrix web client was compatible, that would be cool
[04:05] <penguin42> Dapperguy: Oh, that's a lot easier - the login program you see when you login to ubuntu is 'gdm' you can configure that to allow remote connections, and then use an 'x terminal' (not to be confused with xterm) to open a remote session
[04:05] <lz1gjd> just thought it would work "out of the box" so to say ;) i guess will have to do some tweaking here and there
[04:05] <Fatal`> well, memtest86 passed flawlessly
[04:05] <Fatal`> looks like hardware problems
[04:05] <RustyJames> davro_, so you are switching to debian?
[04:05] <Fatal`> thought, how they could be intermittent, i dont know
[04:05] <Dapperguy> Penguin, and run seamless apps ?
[04:06] <[nycff-1] pete> subhuman, i ran that command and tried autodetect and it couldn't detect my onboard video
[04:06] <penguin42> Dapperguy: Should do - only ones you normally have problems with are 3D graphics and video that really need a local display for speed
[04:06] <Tom06> is it only me who experiences this garble thing?
[04:06] <davro_> RustyJames: Yup after running ubuntu for about year and a half, i really need to have a stable laptop for next week.
[04:06] <milla> what is the c++ compiler for this?
[04:06] <penguin42> milla: g++
[04:06] <Fatal`> would hardware problems cause instability in ubuntu?
[04:06] <CrazyDoode> g++ google for more material
[04:07] <penguin42> Fatal`: Yes of course
[04:07] <davro_> Fatal: Nope been there.
[04:07] <RustyJames> davro_, i understand that. tell me if the problem remains ;-)
[04:07] <Subhuman> milla, youll need the package "build-essentials" to compile c++
[04:07] <Tom06> could someone help please?
[04:07] <R3linquish3r> Fatal`, What kind of hardware problems?
[04:07] <lz1gjd> i am new to ubuntu, just switched from SuSe, and apps seem to start slower , is it just me, or this is a normal behaviour of a debian based distro ?
[04:07] <wheels351972> How do I find out where GRUB sees my partitions?
[04:07] <davro_> RustyJames: Will do mate :)
[04:08] <nanaki_yamabushi> Well I have to log now CU all
[04:08] <Fatal`> i can only assume that is what is causing my random lock up that forces me to restart
[04:08] <Fatal`> because memtest86 revealed nothing
[04:08] <R3linquish3r> wheels351972, gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:08] <wheels351972> that goes in the menu list ok
[04:08] <Tom06> cant anyone help?
[04:08] <R3linquish3r> Tom06: I can try :)
[04:09] <R3linquish3r> Tom06, Whats wrong?
[04:09] <Tom06> i have a freshly istalled ubuntu , it boots up fine and after login in i get a garbled box and the PC freezes
[04:09] <jsimmons> what do i need to type at the grub prompt to get ubuntu to boot up?
[04:10] <R3linquish3r> Tom06: What kind of garbled box?
[04:10] <boga> how do I add a printer in Dapper?
[04:10] <jsimmons> and why isn't it doing it for me?
[04:10] <moshe> hello
[04:10] <penguin42> jsimmons: Probably because ti can't find the /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:10] <moshe> does Ubuntu's build of Thunderbird store settings in .thunderbird or .mozilla-thunderbird?
[04:10] <Tom06> it think it would be the gnome autoconfig box
[04:10] <moshe> I'm doing some housecleaning and I have folders by both names
[04:10] <jrib> boga: system > administration > printing
[04:11] <penguin42> moshe: try ls -lt to see which one changed most recently
[04:11] <R3linquish3r> Tom06: Sorry I've really never dealt with that b4. No clue.
[04:11] <boga> jrib: I do not have that menu!
[04:11] <Tom06> sigh
[04:11] <lz1gjd> Tom06: i have experienced similar problems before , my vid card is pciexp ati x800gto, i had to change xorg.conf file, had to use another driver, the one that came with the install didnt work correctly
[04:11] <jrib> boga: are you using GNOME?
[04:11] <Tom06> what did you use ?
[04:11] <scotte> can u get a version of ubuntu that comes with all the packages?
[04:11] <wastrel> Tom06:  can you do ctrl-alt-backspace to restart the x server?
[04:11] <moshe> Penguin, good call.  checking the date stamps didn't occur to me.
[04:11] <boga> jrib: yes
[04:12] <Tom06> nope
[04:12] <Tom06> system lockup
[04:12] <boga> I am using dapper.
[04:12] <moshe> somehow, I've had the .thunderbird dir on my drive for over a year and it's not been touched
[04:12] <lz1gjd> I installed the one from ati's site fglrx
[04:12] <Tom06> which alternative driver to use?
[04:12] <boga> jrib: may be I need to edit the menu...but I do not see the menu editor either!
[04:13] <Tom06> i am using the nv di
[04:13] <Tom06> i am using the nv driver
[04:13] <ceramik> hi
[04:13] <jrib> boga: is gnome-cups-manager installed?
[04:14] <lz1gjd> well, go to nvidia's site download their proprietary binary driver, and try searching google for how to install them
[04:14] <R3linquish3r> Tom06: What kind of graphics card do you have?
[04:14] <ceramik> i have a newb question: how to have sounds from flash in firefox?
[04:14] <Tom06> nvidia
[04:14] <jrib> !flash > ceramik
[04:14] <fwtest> following situation, at server, there is a program, which is listening on port 1500, the server allows only local connection to this port, but allowing ssh connection from outside, my question, how can i access to this programm (port 1500) from outside using ssh? there must be something to do with tunneling, but i dont know how
[04:14] <R3linquish3r> Tom06: Shouldn;t have any problems with that driver....
[04:15] <ceramik> ok i'm gonna rtfm
[04:15] <boga> jrib: yes...in fact I have something on localhost:631...but adding a printer fails on the root password
[04:15] <elliot__> creamik, newb answer: you don't flash 7 for linux with firefox doesn't work very well for much more than basic animations
[04:15] <Tom06> well , there are...
[04:15] <jrib> boga: it should be your user password, but use gnome-cups-manager not the web interface
[04:16] <R3linquish3r> Tom06: I realised lol. I'm sorry but I really don't have a clue. Not exactly a guru :P
[04:16] <boga> ok I will install the manager thanx
[04:16] <decaf> someone please send me a dapper grub config file example
[04:16] <milla> is there a way to install k,desktop for ubuntu?
[04:16] <Tom06> thanks anyway , also it wont work at all with framebuffers...
[04:16] <decaf> I installed in a very unusual way. everything worked except grub
[04:16] <jrib> Mika_i: you mean kde?
[04:16] <milla> yeah
[04:16] <milla> kde
[04:16] <Tom06> i mean X wont work
[04:16] <lz1gjd> could you try sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ?
[04:16] <Mika_i> jrib: ?
[04:17] <[nycff-1] pete> subhuman, i fixed the refresh rate using the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg command, but i'm still getting a wiping effect on my monitor. the resolution, color depth, and refresh rate are all at the optimal setting supported by my monitor
[04:17] <jrib> milla: sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[04:17] <jrib> Mika_i: sorry, completion error
[04:17] <Mika_i> ok
[04:17] <Mika_i> nope
[04:17] <Subhuman> [nycff-1] pete, do you have windows installed? do you get the problem in windows? (i.e could it be a hardware issue)
[04:17] <milla> it's downloading now
[04:18] <milla> thanx
[04:18] <[nycff-1] pete> no, i just build this shuttle, i used the monitor before on my gaming computer with no problems
[04:19] <Fatal`> that's what is bullshit.  windows doesn't have any trouble at all for me
[04:19] <Fatal`> but ubuntu is unstable as fuck
[04:19] <Fatal`> :/
[04:19] <ZhangZhong> Could any one tell me how i can find the source file of kernel (especially those modified for ubuntu)?
[04:19] <[nycff-1] pete> then go back to windows fatal` :-/
[04:19] <Fatal`> i am in windows right now :/
[04:19] <decaf> ZhangZhong: install linux-sources-xxxxxx
[04:20] <gnomefreak> Fatal`: you are muted for your language
[04:20] <decaf> ZhangZhong: you'll find a bz2 file in /usr/src
[04:20] <[nycff-1] pete> subhuman, is it possible that my onboard video card is not powerful enough to run @ 1280x1024 with 75 hz refresh rate?
[04:21] <lz1gjd> could any1 answer why applications seem to start slower on ubuntu, compared to suse ?
[04:21] <milla> pete: its because of the monitor, it doesnt support that resolution and refresh rate
[04:21] <gnomefreak> Fatal`: you can talk now
[04:21] <Fatal`> i know ;)
[04:21] <Fatal`> ty
[04:22] <[nycff-1] pete> milla, yes it does :)
[04:22] <Tommy2k4> my ubuntu used to randomly crash when i had it on 24bit :|
[04:22] <Tommy2k4> after id been booted up for ages, not while loading X or anything
[04:22] <Fatal`> what does ubuntu run in stock form?
[04:22] <Fatal`> maybe thats my problem O_o
[04:22] <kizzy> hi room
[04:23] <decaf> [nycff-1] pete: most of video cards can work at 1280x1024, Hz is monitors problem
[04:23] <[nycff-1] pete> decaf: i'm changing to 60 hz right now, and if this doesn't work i'll be stumped
[04:24] <Fatal`> from randomly browsing the forums, it appears my problem is ATI vs ubuntu
[04:24] <gullstad_> How many users does Ubuntu got?
[04:24] <Fatal`> not the best fight
[04:24] <bony> i want to download ubuntu-6.06-desktop-i386.iso dvd
[04:24] <shigutso> I removed a HD from my PC, and now my Ubuntu 6.06 don't recognize my CD-Rom Drive anymore... and when I try to see the disks-manager in Gnome, it says that and error ocurred with the script... what am I supposed to do? Re-configure the /etc/fstab? How?
[04:24] <bony> were can i get the link
[04:24] <Fatal`> it's on the website...did you even look?
[04:24] <Fatal`> heh
[04:24] <milla> ...
[04:25] <Schalken> help! ubuntu keeps crashing! i think it's because i installed a package from the edgy repo and all it's dependencies! how can i fix it???
[04:25] <bony> Fatal`, i did look at it but cant find dvd
[04:25] <gullstad_> !users
[04:25] <ubotu> I know nothing about users
[04:25] <jbroome> Schalken: Oooh, ouch
[04:25] <gullstad_> How many users does Ubuntu got?
[04:25] <steveire> millions
[04:25] <jsimmons> man, drake is FUBAR...
[04:25] <R3linquish3r> gullstad_: a butt load
[04:25] <steveire> Can I get a text editor to autoindent my code?
[04:25] <Schalken> jbroome: any ideas??? :(
[04:26] <jbroome> Schalken: did you see this from #ubuntu+1: Edgy is still not stable to use, and
[04:26] <jbroome>           is likely to break your system
[04:26] <jbroome> Schalken: i don't have any.  sorry
[04:26] <bony> ooops sorry i found the dvds
[04:26] <jsimmons> install 32-bit, and it doesn't get beyond "Installing hardware drivers" at reboot, install 64-bit and it appears grub isn't fully configured
[04:28] <visik7> my mother complain about the lack of a translator from italian to english in his ubuntu how can I solve without I'm forced to give her windows ?
[04:28] <Schalken> jbroome: it was just the latest rhythmbox, the latest was only in edgy so i installed it and its dependencies. but now anything that tries to use samba or a printer crashes!
[04:28] <mesut> is there a channel for ubuntu on ppc ?
[04:28] <shigutso> I removed a HD from my PC, and now my Ubuntu 6.06 don't recognize my CD-Rom Drive anymore... and when I try to see the disks-manager in Gnome, it says that and error ocurred with the script... what am I supposed to do? Re-configure the /etc/fstab? How??
[04:29] <monomaniacpat> Has anyone here ever compiled wine from a tarball - make takes ages!
[04:29] <Frogzoo> visik7: wine/qemu/vmware...
[04:29] <pdc303> shigutso: does the BIOS detect your CD-ROM drive ok?
[04:29] <Schalken> is there any way to make APT ensure that all the installed packages are in the repositories, if if not remove or downgrade to what is???
[04:29] <monomaniacpat> shigutso: do what pdc303 says from boot
[04:30] <shigutso> pdc303, ... yes!
[04:30] <Subhuman> [nycff-1] pete, is this wiping when you move a window or something or is it constant?
[04:30] <shigutso> monomaniacpat, but it detects...
[04:30] <visik7> Frogzoo: 'come on there isn't  a translator ?
[04:30] <Subhuman> [nycff-1] pete, and are you using the right drivers?
[04:30] <monomaniacpat> shigutso: surely, it's just a case of remounting the drive?
[04:30] <pdc303> no... why would it not auto-mount now?
[04:30] <[nycff-1] pete> subhuman, it's when i move or open/close a window, i believe i am using the right drivers, how would i check? and i'm ushing 60 hz now too
[04:31] <Frogzoo> visik7: wordtrans-qt
[04:31] <shigutso> monomaniacpat, maybe... but how do I remount it? I can see here in my /etc/fstab that the old HD that I removed is still there...
[04:31] <BCK14> grr firestarter is very crap
[04:31] <milla> how do i mount floppy disk
[04:31] <shigutso> monomaniacpat, how can I know what to fix on it?
[04:31] <monomaniacpat> !cdrom
[04:31] <ubotu> I know nothing about cdrom
[04:31] <Subhuman> [nycff-1] pete, ahh right! i thought you meant constantly, your display rate is not an issue, its the drivers, what onboard video is it?
[04:31] <mwe> firestarter rocks
[04:31] <monomaniacpat> !mount
[04:31] <ubotu> Disks store lots of data. Partitioning: try gparted or qtparted  - Formatting: see the manpage for mkfs  - Mounting: system -> administration -> disks
[04:31] <pdc303> shigutso: my first thought is that the mater/slave settings for the drive were messed-up since your removed your HDD
[04:31] <pete6> i have sis mirage onboard video
[04:31] <pdc303> shigutso: but you seem sure this is not the case
[04:31] <mwe> actually it's just an iptables front end
[04:31] <monomaniacpat> hmmm, I dont actually know, but there must be something on the wiki
[04:31] <monomaniacpat> !wiki
[04:32] <BCK14> mwe: it doesnt seem to twant to allow kopete thru even tho the ports are open
[04:32] <ubotu> wiki is http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Loads of user-contributed documentation
[04:32] <BCK14> yet will let irc thru
[04:32] <Subhuman> pete6, are you using the sis driver?
[04:32] <shigutso> pdc303, no... the CD is Secondary Master, and the old HDD was Primary Slave...
[04:32] <mwe> BCK14: open firestart and look at the log window. the right click the blocked connection and create an exception
[04:32] <pete6> when i ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" i selected the sis driver, so i think so
[04:32] <BCK14> mwe:
[04:32] <pdc303> shigutso: what does `sudo mount /media/cdrom0` give you?
[04:32] <BCK14> ive done that
[04:33] <gnomefreak> !behaviour > Fatal`
[04:33] <Zambezi> "How many user may be logged in at the same time: max_users 15 5" Does it mean 15 users online, five downloading?
[04:33] <shigutso> pdc303, let me see
[04:33] <BCK14> mwe: hence me calling it crap
[04:33] <mwe> BCK14: so it's not showing in the log anymore?
[04:33] <BCK14> nup
[04:33] <Fatal`> i guess you've never been a little angry with instability in your first linux OS ever...lol
[04:33] <mwe> BCK14: then it's not firestarter
[04:33] <yggdrasi1> can somone help me fix my xwindows... it was working fine and now i cant log in. ive treid everything.
[04:33] <BCK14> oki
[04:33] <Schalken> is there a way to reinstall all packages?
[04:33] <Fatal`> now that i've calmed down, i'm almost sure it's the ATI drivers
[04:34] <Subhuman> pete6, it is a driver issue, like 3d acceleration is probably not enabled. I do not have any experience with sis drivers, maybe the forum will help there?
[04:34] <Fatal`> seems to be a widespread ubuntu problem
[04:34] <mwe> BCK14: it logs all blocked trafic
[04:34] <BCK14> mwe: ill try configuring via iptables
[04:34] <Subhuman> Fatal_2, ati is so bad in linux
[04:34] <gnomefreak> Fatal`: i have yes but thats no reason to break rules
[04:34] <Subhuman> they hardly support it, nvidia are alot better in that respect.
[04:34] <shigutso> pdc303, it asks me the type of mounting... and I tried Automatic, but it doesn't go
[04:34] <skavenge> ati and linux dont get along well, along with a handful of other hardware brands
[04:34] <pete6> subhuman, i am registering for the ubuntu support forums now, but where else should i look for help?
[04:34] <mwe> BCK14: if it doesn't show as blocked in the log it's not blocking anything
[04:34] <Fatal`> meh, just venting, my bad :P
[04:34] <pdc303> shigutso: can you paste the exact error message?
[04:35] <Subhuman> pete6, google "sis driver 3d acceleration linux" or something
[04:35] <mwe> BCK14: you need to open the log window _before_ the connection attempt though
[04:35] <BCK14> mwe: maybe its kpete then
[04:35] <Subhuman> shigutso, in pastebin
[04:35] <Subhuman> !paste
[04:35] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[04:35] <milla> how do i know which ports i have open
[04:35] <shigutso> pdc303, there is no error. I just askes the type of mounting...
[04:35] <pdc303> "type of mounting" ??? You mean the filesystem?
[04:35] <mwe> BCK14: try stopping firestarter 'sudo /etc/init.d/firestarter stop' to see if it works then
[04:35] <pete6> subhuman, why would it be 3D acceleration?
[04:36] <BCK14> mwe: it just connected
[04:36] <Schalken> is there a way in synaptic to filter packages from a different distribution???
[04:36] <BCK14> restarted kopete
[04:36] <Fatal`> ahhhh "swearing not appreciated"
[04:36] <BCK14> worked
[04:36] <mwe> BCK14: uhm. ok
[04:36] <BCK14> weird tho
[04:37] <shigutso> pdc303, oosp, sorry.. I was executing the command in the wrong place :P
[04:37] <mwe> BCK14: firestarter is very good imho
[04:37] <telliott> I have a fat32 drive that refuses to mount.  It is shown with a removable drive icon but it's a fixed drive.
[04:37] <pdc303> lol
[04:37] <shigutso> pdc303, how do I use pastebin?
[04:37] <BCK14> mwe:
[04:37] <Mixx`> telliott - what kind of drive?  SATA, PATA.. ?
[04:37] <BCK14> do you know how i can start it at bootup in tray ?
[04:37] <Meta-> I need some help- with kubuntu
[04:37] <pdc303> shigutso: pastebin.com --> New Paste --> Paste your text and click OK. then you will have an URL to provide us
[04:38] <BCK14> mwe: it is dunno what was up with it then, was frustrating me :P
[04:38] <mwe> BCK14: start what?
[04:38] <Frogzoo> pete6: I'd just google 'linux + driver + make/model'
[04:38] <pdc303> shigutso: this is only necessary if your text is more than 2 lines long
[04:38] <Meta-> There is no hda so I don't know how to mount my drive
[04:38] <telliott> pata.  Second drive on primary controller
[04:38] <UltraMagnus> hi, i need some help with grub, i just installed ubuntu, used the inbuilt resizer to resize my NTFS, now grub refuses to acknoledge that my NTFS partition is a valid filing system
[04:38] <mwe> BCK14: firestarter or kopete?
[04:38] <BCK14> mwe: start firestarter at bootup in tray ?
[04:38] <pete6> frogzoo, alright trying that
[04:38] <BCK14> or at least in gui ?
[04:39] <pdc303> UltraMagnus: `grub-install` maybe? This will re-install grub
[04:39] <Frogzoo> Meta-: describe your drive configuration
[04:39] <mwe> BCK14: I think if it's there when you log out it should start next time. if not create a simple script in ~/.kde/Autostart that runs it
[04:39] <UltraMagnus> pdc303: how do i do that?
[04:39] <Frogzoo> !grub
[04:39] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[04:39] <BCK14> mwe im a gnome man :P
[04:39] <shigutso> pdc303, here all is in portuguese, because I am brazillian... will you understand?
[04:39] <finalbeta> !pastebin

[04:39] <BCK14> but ok :)
[04:39] <pdc303> shigutso: No! :P
[04:39] <mwe> BCK14: oh
[04:39] <mwe> BCK14: I asumed KDE, using kopete
[04:39] <shigutso> pdc303, so I will try to translate :P
[04:40] <pdc303> UltraMagnus: I don't know. do a `man install-grub`   or google
[04:40] <BCK14> mwe: i like kopete over gaim
[04:40] <Frogzoo> UltraMagnus: see ubotu ^^^
[04:40] <Meta-> Frogzoo:  This is on kubuntu live, I 2want to get fuiles from my hd. I know how to mount an hd in linux, but ubuntu is different
[04:40] <Fatal`> does ubuntu automatically detect ati/nvideo video cards and load the correct driver, or do you need to manually do it
[04:40] <mwe> BCK14: I'm not sure how to make things autostart in gnome
[04:40] <wheels351972> I am having an issue I am re-installing Ubuntu Dapper and I dont see the partition that it's already on
[04:40] <Meta-> Frogzoo: there is no /dev/hda
[04:40] <Schalken> is there a way to remove all packages that came from the edgy repository???
[04:40] <BCK14> mwe: np i can do it :)
[04:40] <mwe> BCK14: session management or something
[04:40] <UltraMagnus> frogzoo: which one should i follow? the "lost grub" one or the other one?
