[02:49] <Kleggas> Dattas: xserver should start at boot? or did you install the server-version of ubuntu?
[02:49] <tonyyarusso> asaee, And on the one with universe, add multiverse on the end.
[02:49] <Dattas> i installed normally but then changed the runlevel to 2 so it wouldn't take up so much ram
[02:49] <asaee> ok
[02:49] <tatters> I find I can ubuntu is 1 hour after enabling multiverse
[02:50] <Dattas> and changing it back to 5 doesn't start it the way mythtv wants it i guess
[02:50] <tatters> kill ubbuntu ^^^^
[02:50] <adub> what is a quick way to find out what host are up on your subnet in linux nmap does the trick takes too long ettercap scan for host does the trick but i dont want to always use ettercap just wondering if there is a base linux command for this
[02:50] <Dattas> and it doesn't start up like it used to
[02:50] <asaee> like so: deb http://ro.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe multiverse ?
[02:50] <tonyyarusso> tatters, You can ubuntu is?
[02:50] <tonyyarusso> tatters, Oh.  How so?
[02:51] <Amaranth> asaee: yes
[02:51] <tatters> yup I musta reinstallled this ubuntu 4 times cus of that
[02:51] <amonkey> does the / of a linux install have to be /? can it be in /linux/blah?
[02:51] <tatters> stuff deleating packages and replacing
[02:52] <Kleggas> Dattas: startx
[02:52] <Amaranth> amonkey: it has to be /
[02:52] <tatters> seems to break it unless u know what u doin
[02:52] <tonyyarusso> amonkey, Why would you want something else?
[02:52] <asaee> wow .. now is downloading ...
[02:52] <asaee> lots of packeges :)
[02:52] <ChefMedeski> hola
[02:53] <tonyyarusso> tatters, Never had a problem with multiverse myself, a little surprised.
[02:53] <tonyyarusso> asaee, Yeah.  uni/multi are way fun on dialup.
[02:53] <Kleggas> tatters: well, why do you delete something you have no idea what it is?
[02:53] <amonkey> tonyyarusso, i'm installing it to a usb key, and i don't want all the boot, etc, etc... stuff to be there when i plug it in on a windows computer. just a folder called linux
[02:53] <asaee> and when it finishes i do: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop for kde ?
[02:53] <tatters> because I wnated to insstall the application :/
[02:53] <Dattas> :\ start x seems to start xserver but mythtv doesn't realize it
[02:54] <|Bou|> good night guys, I'm off to bed
[02:54] <tatters> I only used windows XP so forgot dll helll
[02:54] <tonyyarusso> asaee, Correct.
[02:54] <nitinshantharam> hey guys im using pure-ftp and i can connect to my server via internal ip (<IP_ADDRESS>) but i cant via hostname -> it says conencted but it freezes while getting a directory listing
[02:54] <Kleggas> tatters: what application?
[02:54] <tatters> its kinda been revived for with linux and dependacies
[02:54] <asaee> thank you very much :)
[02:54] <asaee> have a nice day
[02:55] <tatters> well snort mysql acidlab in perticuler
[02:55] <adub> how can i list host in my subnet like all computers and ips in 192.168.1.* range
[02:55] <poningru> !grub
[02:55] <ubotu> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[02:55] <tonyyarusso> asaee, You too.  (btw, to start KDE, logout, and select it from the Sessions menu, and log back in)
[02:55] <tatters> only been usin linux for a cpl of days so its gunna be down to user ignorence im sure
[02:55] <Kleggas> tatters: they are all in apt repositories
[02:55] <asaee> ok, i will
[02:55] <asaee> good bye :)
[02:56] <tonyyarusso> I had installed kubuntu-desktop, but later removed by uninstalling the qt library, which seemed to remove all of the KDE
[02:56] <tonyyarusso> stuff.
[02:57] <tonyyarusso>  However, I noticed when using splash as a boot parameter, it showed the blue Kubuntu splash image, rather than
[02:57] <tonyyarusso> the normal brown Ubuntu one.
[02:57] <tatters> yes klreggas but when I install mysql-snort it replaces stuff with this fork mlarky so its difficult to sort out for noob plus it break apache and mysql  in the process
[02:57] <tonyyarusso> arrgh.
[02:57] <chalcedony> who has a Yahoo Chat client they like on ubuntu? (That also has live support)
[02:57] <nitinshantharam> hey guys im using pure-ftp and i can connect to my server via internal ip (<IP_ADDRESS>) but i cant via hostname -> it says conencted but it freezes while getting a directory listing
[02:57] <tonyyarusso>  Where is this setting, and how can I change it?
[02:58] <tatters> theres mysql-snort or snort then mysql-server or mysql then apche 1 or 2 not to php4 or 5
[02:58] <tonyyarusso> chalcedony, I use gaim for all protocols.
[02:58] <tatters> I just get in a circle there is no ubuntu guide II can find so far this
[02:59] <tonyyarusso> Additionally, this raises the question of whether there might be any more KDE stuff left over.  How could I check that, and make sure that it is al actually removed?
[02:59] <tatters> would I be right in saying a debian guide is the closet I am going to get?
[02:59] <Kleggas> tatters: never heard of mysql-snort.... but what you are trying to do, basically, is to install mysql and apache to work together?
[02:59] <chalcedony> tonyyarusso: is there live support for gaim?
[02:59] <tonyyarusso> chalcedony, What is that?
[02:59] <tatters> no run snort using apache mysql and php
[02:59] <tatters> and acidlab
[03:00] <tatters> but becuase its mysql bases there is mysql versions of all
[03:00] <tatters> mysql-snort   mysql-php etc
[03:01] <theeil> anyone know how to change the ubuntu panel icon back to the gnome one?
[03:01] <|Bou|> hmm yeah
[03:01] <tatters> soon as install acid lab it replace stuff and install some fork material then it breaks everything
[03:01] <|Bou|> I think you have to delete the file distributor-logo.png
[03:02] <|Bou|> if I'm not mistaken
[03:02] <|Bou|> better rename it, of course
[03:02] <tatters> obviosuly if i knew linux i could  fix it or if there was a guide
[03:02] <theeil> |Bou|: i will, but where is it?
[03:02] <_jason> theeil: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/distributor-logo.png
[03:02] <Dattas> is there a way to re-install default packages?
[03:02] <|Bou|> not sure
[03:02] <tatters> I just reinstall
[03:03] <Dattas> don't you lose settings?
[03:03] <tatters> lol done it 3 time already today
[03:03] <|Bou|> think it's in .icons, locolor, 48x48?
[03:03] <senectus> For some reason When I bring my eth0 up I get no ip address even though I've setup a static IP on it :-( any idea's why??
[03:03] <tobehz> Whenever I try to play an audio file from a remote server (SMB share or SFTP link) it fails to load, and I have to copy the file to my computer to play it. Any way around this, or am I not doing something right?
[03:04] <tobehz> :O
[03:04] <tobehz> thecrhis from caf? :>
[03:04] <tobehz> thechris* ;o
[03:05] <tonyyarusso> chalcedony, There is a #gaim channel, if that's what you mean.
[03:05] <tatters> how many times a day do you guys reinstall ubuntu?/
[03:05] <poningru> hey guys I was messing around with the partitions, now grub gives a error 16
[03:05] <Dattas> only once have i ever reinstalled
[03:05] <poningru> did I hose my filesystem?
[03:05] <Kleggas> tatters: none
[03:06] <tatters> how long u been usin it dattas?
[03:06] <Dattas> 1 or 2 years
[03:06] <tuvok302> hey
[03:06] <tonyyarusso> Dattas, sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-base ubuntu-desktop probably, or even ubuntu-*.
[03:06] <tatters> your old linux hands though yeh??
[03:06] <senectus> For some reason When I bring my eth0 up I get no ip address even though I've setup a static IP on it :-( any idea's why??
[03:06] <tatters> how many times when first started?
[03:06] <tonyyarusso> tatters, zero.
[03:06] <|Bou|> here is the distributor logo: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps
[03:07] <tatters> well tony ure either a genius or a coward :P
[03:07] <tonyyarusso> poningru, Probably not, just confused grub.
[03:07] <Xenguy> senectus: you using pppoe?
[03:07] <decaf> senectus: may be some syntax errors at /etc/network/interfaces
[03:07] <senectus> Xenguy, nope it's just on a LAN
[03:07] <poningru> tonyyarusso, know how to get it fixed?
[03:07] <senectus> decaf, It's a carbon copy of the interfaces file on this machine so it *should be* ok
[03:07] <Xenguy> senectus: maybe the LAN is running DHCP ?
[03:08] <poningru> I have live cd
[03:08] <senectus> Xenguy, My LAN, no DHCP
[03:08] <nightwing> topic
[03:08] <poningru> and sysrescue cd
[03:08] <Xenguy> senectus: K
[03:08] <Xenguy> senectus: remember to restart networking etc.
[03:08] <frederic_> Although I installed Aegis, I cannot find it from the Applications>Accessories>(Other?)  -- Can someone help me ?
[03:09] <tonyyarusso> tatters, When first started (August), I think I did a grand total before of a half dozen installs before this point.  First one, one because I decided I liked it, so I stole a bunch of disk space from Windows and did it again, once because I had cluttered things and wanted it fresh for Breezy, and two or three because I broke things.  I think I'm good now though.
[03:09] <senectus> Xenguy, by ifconfig eth0 down then back up ?
[03:09] <Kleggas> frederic_: gnome-panel has to been restarted. killall gnome-panel
[03:09] <decaf> senectus: you are using 'ifup', not ifconfig.
[03:09] <Kleggas> frederic_: that will restart it automagically
[03:09] <tatters> k, thnx for that I begging to think im stooopid
[03:09] <tonyyarusso> poningru, I'd check out !grub, and use the instructions for recovering it after windows install.  Should do the trick I think.
[03:09] <poningru> tonyyarusso hmm ok
[03:09] <Xenguy> senectus: that should help, or sometimes /etc/init.d/networking stop/start is helpful
[03:10] <lightdifference> hi, I've installed ubuntu and xammp on my inspiron, and I was wondering how I would access it from my G5.
[03:10] <poningru> !grub
[03:10] <ubotu> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[03:10] <lightdifference> It's on the same network, but it just can't find it.
[03:10] <adub> is there a linux command line command to list host on a network
[03:10] <tatters> has ubuntu got like a sys restore function,what best way to backup in case of my destrying  it again
[03:11] <ghost_03> lightdifference--for file sharing?  do you have a samba mount?  or for terminal access?
[03:11] <senectus> Xenguy, that got it.. thanks heaps
[03:11] <Kleggas> tatters: best way of restoring any os is to make a ghost image of it
[03:11] <Xenguy> senectus: yw
[03:11] <frederic_> done killall gnome-panel : it disappeared and reappeared but still no Aegis ...
[03:11] <lightdifference> ghost_03: web/terminal access.
[03:12] <tatters> yes ghost is good I use and like that ,,so it runs with linux or do I need a different version?
[03:13] <lightdifference> I'm not sure why my G5 can't see it...
[03:13] <Kleggas> tatters: which ghost you talk about? norton? and a ghost images makes a copy of whatever is on the disk, shouldn't care about OS
[03:13] <ChefMedeski> hey guys, i need some help setting up a server; does anyone have any articles or reading on Ubuntu, need a good bed-time story
[03:13] <tatters> norton ghost 2003
[03:13] <unkn0wn2u> there is g4l
[03:13] <ChefMedeski> i'm a newb and need to know how to start setting up a server from the begginning
[03:13] <tatters> right gotcha thnx
[03:13] <ghost_03> you can't access it with ssh?
[03:14] <lightdifference> no.
[03:14] <Kleggas> tatters: np. you could also check out the dd command in linux ;)
[03:14] <lightdifference> it can't find it at all.
[03:14] <tatters> lol i can just rip this drive out stick in my usb 2.0 caddy then ghost it from windows?
[03:15] <frazmanw> I am installing Dapper on my "test" machine, however eth0 is not there, I read someting about firewire causing this issue, but lost the page, anyone know the answer
[03:15] <tatters> then use  ghost  cd to restore
[03:15] <ChefMedeski> So, anyone can help me with setting up aserver, any reading?
[03:15] <ghost_03> did u enable ssh in osx system preferences->sharing+firewall
[03:15] <Xenguy> ChefMedeski: haven't got the exact URL, but debian-administration.org is god
[03:16] <navarone> tatters you can google g4l, ghost for linux like unknown said. You can boot from it and image a drive or partition onto another drive/partition. I believe it is on sourceforge
[03:16] <ghost_03> and firestarter or w/e you might be using with ubuntu?
[03:16] <tatters> nvr used ext bfr so nott sure what can or not see or use iit
[03:16] <unkn0wn2u> ChefMedeski, what kind of server?
[03:16] <ChefMedeski> ubuntu for web hosting, and ftp
[03:16] <tonyyarusso> tatters, You don't need Windows to back up Ubuntu.
[03:16] <ChefMedeski> thanks xenguy
[03:16] <ChefMedeski> i'll check it out
[03:16] <lightdifference> I don't think there's any issues there, It has to do with some firewall on ubuntu.
[03:16] <Xenguy> ChefMedeski: some interesting stuff in there; applies to both debian and ubu; search around a bit for the good stuff :-)
[03:17] <_jason> lightdifference: there should be no iptables rules on a default install.  Try 'iptables -L'
[03:17] <tatters> np but if ghost gunna image this drive from windows by using my external  IDE usb 2.0 hard drive then alls good
[03:17] <navarone> tatters whatever works <s>
[03:18] <tatters> lol yup
[03:18] <tatters> thats all I care about basically
[03:18] <hunkyspunky2> hello
[03:18] <tatters> and getting it done Quick
[03:18] <ChefMedeski> i can't quite ifnd it xen
[03:18] <hunkyspunky2> i just installed ubuntu..
[03:18] <Kleggas> tatters: use whatever you feel works. as you said before, you are new to linux, so use windows for ghosting if you allready know how
[03:18] <ChefMedeski> searched google
[03:18] <lightdifference> _jason: it spat out something about Input, Forward, and Output
[03:18] <hunkyspunky2> and now i got windows 98 se.. and ubuntu both installed
[03:19] <lance_> tatters, you could always dd the drive and compress it.
[03:19] <senectus> If I reboot or drop a remote interface in a remote session (say ssh) in Gnome Terminal the Gnome terninal session locks up and I can only fix that by shutting Gnome Terminal down.. is there a better way to close that sessions without having to shutdown gnome terminal??
[03:19] <navarone> good for you hunky
[03:19] <tatters> yup klegg didnt realise it would ghost ext partition as well thought it might require another downlaod
[03:19] <hunkyspunky2> van anyone tell me how to have grub loader setup to by default in 10 seconds to load windows 98.. instaed of ubuntu?
[03:19] <ghost_03> lightdifference, are you running firestarter?
[03:19] <tonyyarusso> tatters, If you want, that's fine.  But I just wanted to point out that when people said to create a ghost image, they didn't mean Norton Ghost, just a copy of any kind.
[03:19] <ChefMedeski> 9yy found it
[03:19] <hunkyspunky2> van=can
[03:19] <ChefMedeski> ohh found it
[03:19] <ChefMedeski> debian-administration.com
[03:19] <_jason> lightdifference: if there were no actual relows under those, it isn't the firewall
[03:19] <_jason> lightdifference: s/relows/rules
[03:20] <lightdifference> hmmm...
[03:20] <cafuego> Yay, sexy. yaboot now boots firewire :-)
[03:20] <lightdifference> odd.
[03:20] <tatters> sry when I read ghost Image I automatically think of norton
[03:20] <lightdifference> ghost_03: firewall? I don't believe so.
[03:20] <cafuego> tatters: There' talking about destroying data, so it seems appropriate ;-)
[03:20] <tatters> i guess its a generic term then?
[03:21] <senectus> If I reboot or drop a remote interface in a remote session (say ssh) in Gnome Terminal the Gnome terninal session locks up and I can only fix that by shutting Gnome Terminal down.. is there a better way to close that sessions without having to shutdown gnome terminal??
[03:21] <tatters> lol well I find it excellent actually rest of norton stuff iis pretty useless though
[03:21] <jtd> hi guys
[03:21] <lightdifference> _jason: what else could be doing it?
[03:21] <jtd> anyone had any success getting X to work on an iMac G3?  a graphite, specifically?
[03:21] <navarone> tatters things went downhill for Nortons when Peter Norton stopped appearing on the boxes...<s>
[03:21] <jtd> mine starts X but then just sits there on a blank black screen after changing video modes.
[03:22] <hunkyspunky2> i love ubuntu... way better then windows!
[03:22] <Xenguy> senectus: not quite sure what you mean (screen can be handy, but may not be relevant to your specific issue)
[03:22] <Kleggas> navarone: lol, thats why they suck? ;)
[03:22] <tatters> yup like all good software they lose their roots when money kicks in
[03:22] <tatters> same with zonealarm
[03:23] <tobehz> Whenever I try to play an audio file from a remote server (SMB share or SFTP link) it fails to load, and I have to copy the file to my computer to play it. Any way around this, or am I not doing something right?
[03:23] <hunkyspunky2> navarone...
[03:23] <navarone> Kleggas I think it means that "corporate attentions" were focused elsewhere
[03:23] <hunkyspunky2> whats going on buddy?
[03:23] <hunkyspunky2> remeber me..
[03:23] <_jason> lightdifference: I don't use xampp, are you sure there isn't some setting you have to change?
[03:23] <navarone> hunkyspunky2,  nope
[03:23] <hunkyspunky2> about asking to install grun manually?
[03:23] <hunkyspunky2> grun=grub
[03:23] <lightdifference> _jason: I don't believe so.
[03:23] <renewip> I think Ubuntu graphic is not very good
[03:23] <hunkyspunky2> and u reccomended a resinstall?
[03:23] <renewip> it's always crash
[03:23] <navarone> ok
[03:23] <_jason> lightdifference: can you access it as the localhost?
[03:23] <lightdifference> yeah, just fine.
[03:23] <hunkyspunky2> well i reinstalled... and it works perfect
[03:24] <hunkyspunky2> except it took 2 hours to complete finsh the install
[03:24] <navarone> hunkyspunky2,  power outage right?
[03:24] <joseph> what package do I need for a C compiler?
[03:24] <hunkyspunky2> yah
[03:24] <hunkyspunky2> that was it
[03:24] <Shadyman> joseph: Build-essential
[03:24] <hunkyspunky2> i had a power outage first time
[03:24] <joseph> thanks
[03:24] <hunkyspunky2> lol
[03:24] <Kleggas> renewip: xorg crashes?
[03:24] <lightdifference> I can't access it via ssh either.
[03:24] <renewip> Yeah
[03:24] <hunkyspunky2> but, i was able to install it this time with no problems
[03:24] <navarone> hunkyspunky2, yeah best to do fresh install in that case...no data to lose or anything
[03:24] <lightdifference> I have no clue why this isn't flipping working..
[03:24] <renewip> Xorg crash when I use KDE
[03:25] <hunkyspunky2> its all installed
[03:25] <lightdifference> it's pissing me off.
[03:25] <tatters> I have experianced 30-40 seroius errors on this box and Ubuntu, I put it down to windows is more forgiving in terms of older hardware and configuration
[03:25] <hunkyspunky2> a frsh copy is installed now
[03:25] <Kleggas> renewip: how? pebkac?
[03:25] <Kleggas> :p
[03:25] <benkong2> i have an amd64 with 32bit firefox1.5 installed and working flash works but java-plugin is missing? is there a doc somewhere on what to do to fix this?
[03:25] <hunkyspunky2> navarone.. i got another question....
[03:25] <renewip> sometime when I play video
[03:25] <tatters> it tokk me 4 installs bfr I actually realised 3 of them had gone wrong
[03:25] <renewip> it's suddendly
[03:25] <Kleggas> xorg is stable. in ubuntu too. no crashes or glitches ever for me. what do u do to it?
[03:25] <hunkyspunky2> now when i boot up.. grub boots up with default ubuntu starting up in 10 secs... is there anyway for me to change it to default to windows 98 se in 10 secs?
[03:25] <benkong2> this is the current link for java  "libjavaplugin.so -> /etc/alternatives/firefox-javaplugin.so"
[03:26] <_jason> lightdifference: how did you install ssh?
[03:26] <lightdifference> _jason: ubuntu comes with it, I believe.
[03:26] <_jason> lightdifference: not the server
[03:26] <navarone> hunky I dunno offhand...but I am always at my desk when I boot and select myself
[03:26] <renewip> I installed Ubuntu 5.10 and upgrade to KDE 3.50
[03:26] <jtd> is www.ubuntuforums.org working for anyone else?
[03:26] <Shadyman> jtd: No.
[03:26] <jtd> because it sure ain't for me.
[03:26] <_jason> lightdifference: ubuntu runs no services on a default install
[03:26] <jtd> ok.
[03:26] <hunkyspunky2> one last question.. navarone...
[03:26] <lightdifference> _jason: crap.
[03:26] <navarone> jtd read the channel topic
[03:26] <benkong2> hunkyspunky2; edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and change default to what you want started it is 0 based
[03:27] <jtd> can someone help me with my aforementioned Ubuntu-on-G3-iMacDV problem, then?
[03:27] <hunkyspunky2> when a newer version of ubuntu comes out... can i update it from the update manager?
[03:27] <tonyyarusso> I had installed kubuntu-desktop, but later removed by uninstalling the qt library, which seemed to remove all of the KDE stuff.  However, I noticed when using splash as a boot parameter, it showed the blue Kubuntu splash image, rather than the normal brown Ubuntu one.  Where is this setting, and how can I change it?  Additionally, this raises the question of whether there might be any more KDE stuff left over.  How could I check that, and make sure
[03:27] <tonyyarusso> that it is all actually
[03:27] <tonyyarusso>  removed?
[03:27] <tonyyarusso> hunkyspunky2, Yes.
[03:27] <hunkyspunky2> instead of of installing the newer version?
[03:27] <jtd> mine starts X but then just sits there on a blank black screen after changing video modes.
[03:27] <navarone> hunkyspunky2, between distro upgrades you can yes
[03:28] <benkong2> !firefox plugin
[03:28] <Kleggas> renewip: where did you find those 3.5 packages? just wanna see if its same link as mine, or if its newer packages. btw, 3.5 is under heavy development with alot of bugs. thats why it kills your xorg I would guess
[03:28] <ubotu> benkong2: I give up, what is it?
[03:28] <_jason> tonyyarusso: the splash is in /usr/share/pixmaps/splash/ubuntu-splash.png iirc
[03:28] <hunkyspunky2> so when a newer version then 5.10 comes out ... it will update via update manger in ubuntu.. without me running installtion again?
[03:28] <tonyyarusso> _jason, Thanks.
[03:28] <hunkyspunky2> cool
[03:28] <lightdifference> this is pissing me off....I'm about to enter sudo rm -rf /
[03:28] <hunkyspunky2> thanks
[03:28] <hunkyspunky2> guys
[03:28] <benkong2> !javaplugin firefox
[03:28] <ubotu> Not a clue, benkong2
[03:28] <hunkyspunky2> the only thing that was a pain.. is the time to install it
[03:28] <renewip> can I get Ubuntu source code CDs?
[03:28] <_jason> lightdifference: why? ssh is easy, just do 'sudo apt-get install ssh'
[03:28] <navarone> hunkyspunky2, when dapper comes out in April I will dl and install fresh...but that's just me
[03:28] <renewip> where & how?
[03:29] <hunkyspunky2> my processors only an older amd k-16 500mhz
[03:29] <Xenguy> lightdifference: relax and have a beer :-)
[03:29] <tonyyarusso> hunkyspunky2, As long as you select Smart Upgrade.
[03:29] <jtd> disclaimer: I did a server installation and then a sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop.
[03:29] <hunkyspunky2> also
[03:29] <hunkyspunky2> when grub boots up..
[03:29] <lightdifference> Xenguy: I'm 6 years short of beer.
[03:29] <hunkyspunky2> there about 3 or 4 different ubuntu boot options..
[03:29] <hunkyspunky2> like some recovery and others
[03:29] <hunkyspunky2> what are they?
[03:29] <Xenguy> lightdifference: I'm sure you can find a reasonable facsimile ;-)
[03:30] <hunkyspunky2> i boot up from the one thats at the top the list
[03:30] <tonyyarusso> hunkyspunky2, They aren't different partitions.
[03:30] <tonyyarusso> hunkyspunky2, They have different kernel options.
[03:30] <Kyral> Recovery slams you into Single User Mode
[03:30] <Kyral> Think XP Safe Mode
[03:30] <lightdifference> ssh: consecutor: No address associated with nodename
[03:30] <renewip> hey, can anyone help me, im a absolute newb
[03:30] <hunkyspunky2> okay
[03:30] <hunkyspunky2> i see
[03:30] <_jason> lightdifference: what gave you that?
[03:30] <hunkyspunky2> i only got 2 parttions on my drive
[03:30] <lightdifference> _jason: my mac.
[03:30] <hunkyspunky2> one ubuntu and the other windows 98 se
[03:30] <navarone> hunkyspunky2,  recovery is a stripped down kernel for recovery of filesystems...kinda like safe-mode...then there's mem test and any other kernels you may have installed ie 386, 686, k7
[03:30] <Kleggas> renewip: don't think there is a source-code cd for ubuntu
[03:31] <renewip> oops..
[03:31] <hunkyspunky2> cool
[03:31] <yud> Can anybody help me w/ the instalation of the ati driver in ubuntu? I already tryed the wiki.
[03:31] <renewip> so, what about full package CDs?
[03:31] <_jason> lightdifference: after installing ssh?
[03:31] <lightdifference> _jason: yeh.
[03:31] <hunkyspunky2> i'm just a newbie at this operating system... i'll learn it... and as i get familar with it i will remove windows
[03:31] <renewip> include all packages
[03:31] <Kleggas> renewip: but if you want source for any package in repository just run: sudo apt-get source <pkgname>
[03:32] <dabfus> hello
[03:32] <_jason> lightdifference: is ssh running on the ubuntu machine?
[03:32] <hunkyspunky2> later
[03:32] <hunkyspunky2> guys good night
[03:32] <lightdifference> _jason: should be.
[03:32] <Kleggas> renewip: there is a ubuntu-dvd I think. should have alot of more packages
[03:32] <_jason> lightdifference: ps aux | grep sshd
[03:32] <navarone> dabfus just jump in witha  question
[03:32] <Kleggas> renewip: where did you download kde-3.5?
[03:32] <renewip> because my comp not connected everytime
[03:32] <lightdifference> _jason: it's running.
[03:32] <dabfus> I use mplayerplug-in for firefox, but if i try to play a video in full screen mode, the video is still in "little format". How can i do to see it really full screen ?
[03:33] <renewip> deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde35 breezy main
[03:33] <hunkyspunky2> is kubuntu any better then ubuntu?
[03:33] <_jason> hunkyspunky2: only if you prefer kde over gnome
[03:33] <Shadyman> hunkyspunky2: Debatable.
[03:34] <renewip> i dont know kubuntu better or worse than ubuntu
[03:34] <hunkyspunky2> is kde any better then gnome?
[03:34] <CanYouHelpMePlz> !start a desktopwar
[03:34] <ubotu> I don't know, CanYouHelpMePlz
[03:34] <Shadyman> hunkyspunky2: Debatable
[03:34] <Nameeater> its all a matter of personal preference
[03:34] <tonyyarusso> hunkyspunky2, Depends what you like.
[03:34] <Kleggas> omfg, and I have spent all evening upgrading like 40 packages to debian unstable versions to run my kde3.5 debian I found, LOL
[03:34] <tonyyarusso> hunkyspunky2, I prefer Gnome.
[03:34] <hunkyspunky2> oh.. so its the way it looks?
[03:34] <Shadyman> hunkyspunky2: Pretty much.
[03:34] <renewip> but I think KDE is more userfriendly than
[03:34] <dabfus> I try to modify the multimedia selector to use a XV output, but it doesnt change anything
[03:34] <hunkyspunky2> okay
[03:34] <hunkyspunky2> i see
[03:34] <Shadyman> renewip: I don't like KDE because it crashes all the time for me.
[03:34] <CanYouHelpMePlz> renewip: i disagree.
[03:34] <hunkyspunky2> thanks guys for all your help
[03:34] <Kleggas> renewip: kubuntu is ubuntu, but only kde instead of gnome. same packages, same repository
[03:34] <hunkyspunky2> good luck
[03:34] <CanYouHelpMePlz> i dislike kde brutally.
[03:35] <renewip> ah, i see
[03:35] <arrinmurr> kde is great ;)
[03:35] <renewip> I mean KDE
[03:35] <Kleggas> renewip: and your xorg is crashing because you use kde-3.5. its under heavily development. kde-3.4 is latest stable
[03:35] <tonyyarusso> I couldn't even figure out how to do stuff in KDE.  Gnome was pretty self-explanatory.
[03:36] <Xenguy> gnome and xfce are my current preference
[03:37] <Kleggas> kde do have alot more options and is badly designed for beginners. but I dont like/dislike any of them. I use gnome nowadays but have used kde too. use kopete in gnome for messaging
[03:37] <Kleggas> specially now when kde-3.5's msn protocol has webcam support (not tried it out yet)
[03:37] <npfet> Kleggas: Why kopete vs. gaim? (just curious.. haven't used kopete for about a year)
[03:37] <Kleggas> kopet
[03:37] <npfet> ah
[03:37] <EvenOdd> I'm having a bit of trouble setting up my network.  I installed the base system, and then compiled my nic drivers as a module and have it loaded (this works in all other linux distros no problem).  I can't get an ip through dhcp, thuogh.
[03:37] <jtd> can someone tell me what "xauth: error in locking authority file /home/user/.Xauthority" means?
[03:37] <arrinmurr> i've never understood what's so difficult in kde. i think it just makes sense :)
[03:38] <Kleggas> npfet: allways liked kopete better. no idea why
[03:38] <tonyyarusso> KDE also seemed to fluffy "I look pretty, so I must be good" for me, like the WinXP theme.
[03:38] <EvenOdd> I would look up the answer in the forums but they're down the day I switch to ubuntu :]
[03:38] <tatters> jtd try sudo bfr that command
[03:38] <markybob> anyone know when www.ubuntuforums.org will be back online?
[03:38] <Shadyman> The forums must be running on windows ;)
[03:38] <_jason> markybob: /topic
[03:38] <renewip> I installed my Ubuntu in expert mode
[03:38] <nvez> anyone got opera+mplayer working?
[03:38] <Kleggas> arrinmurr: I agree, but beginners don't
[03:39] <renewip> so, I installed some newer packages instead default
[03:39] <jtd> sorry, what?
[03:39] <jtd> sudo bfr?
[03:39] <renewip> and now, I cant install open office
[03:39] <renewip> :(
[03:39] <ssstormy> EvenOdd, to do it from command line use dhclient <interface>
[03:39] <jtd> what is bfr?
[03:39] <EvenOdd> dhclient... I'll try that instead of dhcpcd
[03:39] <npfet> renewip: error messages?
[03:39] <tatters> whatever it was u was running that looks like a permission error to me
[03:40] <jtd> startx.
[03:40] <jtd> that's all.
[03:40] <navarone> bfr=before maybe?
[03:40] <arrinmurr> Kleggas: well, not those beginners i've introduced kde to
[03:40] <jtd> why would I have a permission error with my own homedir?
[03:40] <metalsand> Does anyone have the default kismet.conf?
[03:40] <Kleggas> renewip: why install in expert mode? thats what I used to do in slack, but in ubuntu? default mode gives you all you need, not more, not less
[03:40] <jtd> ah.  that would be why.
[03:40] <Xenguy> arrinmurr: I think that some folks prefer 'minimalism' too -- I know that I'm like that, always have been
[03:40] <jtd> because it belongs to root.
[03:40] <metalsand> I'm trying to configure packet sources but the config file for the default install is block
[03:40] <jtd> why the hell does teh xubuntu package do that?
[03:41] <renewip> could not mark all pkgs for installation or upgrade
[03:41] <npfet> Xenguy: agreed... minimalism good (And i ran kde for a while.. and used to use pwm + lots of xterms...)
[03:41] <PTK> bah it died :(
[03:41] <EvenOdd> ssstormy: I got "no dhcpoffers received. no working leases in persistent database - sleeping"
[03:41] <navarone> Personally I think the choice of kde or gnome comes down to aesthethics. Some like kde's glossy/modern flash and others prefer gnome's sedate and tidy desktop...at least I do
[03:41] <renewip> openoffice.org2: Depends: ooo2-core, ooo2-writer, etc..
[03:41] <arrinmurr> Xenguy: luckily there's something for everyone :)
[03:41] <npfet> navarone: yah..
[03:41] <Xenguy> arrinmurr: exactly :-)
[03:41] <CanYouHelpMePlz> what about XFCE anyone like that?
[03:42] <renewip> when I mark ooo2-core or more, the same error
[03:42] <npfet> CanYouHelpMePlz: used to use it... but now i have a faster machine 8)
[03:42] <npfet> CanYouHelpMePlz: I even use OO now 8)
[03:42] <Xenguy> CanYouHelpMePlz: I quite like it -- especially on older hardware
[03:42] <Xenguy> CanYouHelpMePlz: xfce4 is light, yet quite functional
[03:43] <EvenOdd> Yeah, I love xfce for its simplicity.  I don't need a 1000 apps installed
[03:43] <navarone> xfce I have installed but rarely use...fast though...but maybe a bit daunting for new users who expect everything to be placed on menus for them
[03:43] <ssstormy> EvenOdd, well that means your interface is working
[03:43] <CanYouHelpMePlz> Xenguy: yea i was thinking of using it on my 1000mhz celeron
[03:43] <renewip> Kleggas, could you ssh to my comp and fix it for me?
[03:43] <ssstormy> EvenOdd, did you do ifconfig <interface> up ?
[03:43] <npfet> arrinmurr: I also have never been able to get the fonts to look as good as they do in gnome (to my eyes at least... though I think it has more to do with spacing then fonts themselves)
[03:43] <navarone> I like the xfce mouse...<S>
[03:43] <Xenguy> CanYouHelpMePlz: it's worth a look, certainly
[03:43] <EvenOdd> ssstormy: Yep, it's up
[03:44] <CanYouHelpMePlz> Xenguy: you think xfce would be a big speed improvement over gnome for a 1000mhz celeron?
[03:44] <Xenguy> navarone: heh, yeah, he reminds me for some reason of the dormouse in Alice in Wonderland (might just be me tho :-)
[03:44] <EvenOdd> And I have iface eth0 inet dhcp set in /etc/network/interfaces
[03:44] <ssstormy> EvenOdd, if you wanna check if it's working right, you could have anohter computer sniff the trafic
[03:44] <nvez> hey guys, how can you add plugins to opera?
[03:44] <arrinmurr> npfet: heh. it's exactly the other way round for me :)
[03:44] <Xenguy> CanYouHelpMePlz: dunno for sure in your case, but I do know that xfce is noticably faster than gnome on older hardware
[03:45] <EvenOdd> ssstormy: Hmm, yeah.  Just weird since I haven't had a problem with dhcp on windows, debian, gentoo, slackware, etc. the past month.
[03:45] <jtd> it's not like using xfce restricts your capabilities.  it just installs less by default.
[03:45] <npfet> arrinmurr: heh.  Must be right side vs left side of brain dominant or something 8)
[03:45] <EvenOdd> ssstormy: on the same computer
[03:45] <CanYouHelpMePlz> Xenguy: hmm the pc does have 512 ram, so it might not be a huge improvement
[03:45] <Xenguy> CanYouHelpMePlz: try it, that's the only way to judge for your hardware
[03:46] <EvenOdd> ssstormy: hmmm wtf.  it has "inet6 addr: blah blah blah" under ifconfig display
[03:46] <navarone> xfce automatically defaulted to higher resolution thatn I use in gnome as well.
[03:46] <jtd> holy crap, this SMB browser that comes with xfce is AWESOME
[03:46] <Xenguy> CanYouHelpMePlz: xfce loads faster (by about half), and things feel 'snappier'
[03:46] <brasko> Hi all!
[03:46] <brasko> I'd like to setup a CVS server, which I can invoke from the internet via ssh and CVS_RSH=ssh.
[03:46] <ssstormy> EvenOdd, that's not unusual
[03:46] <brasko> Do you know if cvsd is the correct package to install?
[03:46] <deditri> ubuntu cool!
[03:47] <annie> hi, I've just installed ubuntu on my laptop
[03:47] <CanYouHelpMePlz> Xenguy: how do i access the gnome configurator, or whatever it's called
[03:47] <deditri> thank you ubuntu
[03:47] <ssstormy> annie, good for you
[03:47] <deditri> I've just finished install too
[03:47] <annie> but I'm having some troubles getting my wireless card to work
[03:47] <ssstormy> annie, you haveing issues
[03:47] <ssstormy> yes I see
[03:47] <Xenguy> CanYouHelpMePlz: gnome-control-center  ?
[03:47] <ssstormy> what's the card?
[03:48] <annie> I googled the problem and found a solution
[03:48] <Kleggas> CanYouHelpMePlz: Applications/System Tools/Configuration Editor
[03:48] <tonyyarusso> annie, All right, so where did you run into trouble with it?  (Or do you need help understanding the solution?)
[03:48] <annie> I apparently need to install the ndiswrapper
[03:49] <annie> but it needs access to the kernel source
[03:49] <ssstormy> annie, I don't think you do
[03:49] <CanYouHelpMePlz> Kleggas: thanks
[03:49] <ssstormy> annie, my card used ndiswrapper too
[03:49] <dabfus> thanks
[03:49] <dabfus> bye
[03:49] <whatwhat> ermmmmmmm ... i sorry but i open the firefox and i apears to me somehting that says if i want to configure the firefox only to my user (something like that) so i click yes and ... my bookmarks complectly disapear ... :x o0 0o someone know where they go ? lol
[03:49] <ssstormy> but you can try installing everything labled ndiswrapper
[03:49] <ssstormy> using synaptic
[03:50] <ssstormy> make sure to enable the universe and multiverse repositries
[03:50] <Kleggas> annie: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-modules-1.1 ndiswrapper-utils
[03:50] <annie> okay, thanks
[03:50] <ssstormy> also, what oyu say about needing kernel source stuff
[03:50] <jtd> how do I kill the X environment after it starts?
[03:50] <ssstormy> you can probably satisfy that need
[03:50] <graham> Are there any good dvd ripping programs for ubuntu?
[03:50] <ssstormy> by installing the kernel headers for your kernel version
[03:50] <ssstormy> again with synaptic
[03:50] <graham> I am also looking for an image library manager similar to "picasa" for windows.
[03:50] <lightdifference> has anyone else had this problem with accessing ubuntu from OS X?
[03:50] <Xenguy> jtd: why - what do you want?
[03:50] <navarone> and , annie, rememebr...the sun will come out tomorrow...<s> Couldn't resist
[03:50] <tonyyarusso> jtd: sudo killall Xorg or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[03:51] <Kleggas> renewip: did you see my private msg to you?
[03:51] <renewip> Kleggas: yes
[03:51] <ssstormy> jtd you can also do telinit 3
[03:51] <annie> lol, navarone, I'll keep that in mind
[03:51] <yud> anybody w/ a Radeon 9800 pro installed at the unbutu?
[03:51] <Eleaf> hi
[03:51] <navarone> graham is picasa like acdsee?
[03:52] <ssstormy> jtd, if you use telinit 3 then you can do telinit 4 if you want to bring back the X enviroment
[03:52] <ssstormy> yud, I intend to have one of those installed soon...
[03:52] <graham> navarone: no its not really an image viewer, its an organizer for your image library
[03:52] <jtd> Xenguy: it's hung.
[03:52] <Kleggas> renewip: ok. if you answered me I didn't see it. maybe because freenode servers blocks privmsg from not registered/identified nicks :)
[03:52] <CanYouHelpMePlz> how do i uninstall everything related to KDE ?
[03:52] <ssstormy> graham, you want ripping programs? for what? DVD? CD?
[03:52] <navarone> graham...try going to synaptic and browsing the graphics sections.
[03:52] <jtd> stormy: I tried to do sudo apt-get install synaptic from the "Run" item in xfce and it hung.
[03:52] <_jason> CanYouHelpMePlz: apt-get remove libqt3mt
[03:52] <Xenguy> jtd: Ctrl-Alt-Bkspc is the usual first try
[03:53] <ssstormy> jtd, you should already have synaptic installed
[03:53] <graham> ssstormy: i have a good Cd one, but I'm looking for a DVD ripper, similar to DVD Shrink, or DVD Decrypter for win
[03:53] <ssstormy> just run sudo synaptic
[03:53] <yud> ssstormy, it's very hard to install it, I'm trying for hours trying to follow lots of tutorials and wiki and nothing
[03:53] <_jason> CanYouHelpMePlz: libqt3-mt I mean
[03:53] <Kleggas> can-o-wo1ms: libqt3-mt
[03:53] <Xenguy> jtd: or just drop to console with Ctrl-Alt-F2/3/4/5/6
[03:53] <Kleggas> :p
[03:53] <CanYouHelpMePlz> _jason: E: Couldn't find package libqt3mt
[03:53] <ssstormy> graham, dvd::rip
[03:53] <graham> navarone: thanks
[03:53] <CanYouHelpMePlz> _jason: ahh o
[03:53] <graham> cool, ill check it out
[03:53] <tonyyarusso> _jason, That doesn't remove everything, in my experience.
[03:53] <ssstormy> graham, it's in the repositries
[03:54] <ssstormy> yud, sorry though.  It's just my goal in graphics cards; my current one is +5 years old
[03:54] <jtd> synaptic doesn't appear to be populated in xfce's menu.
[03:54] <Kleggas> Xenguy: why not just open up a terminal?
[03:54] <ssstormy> jtd, just open a terminal and say sudo synaptic
[03:54] <ssstormy> if that dosn't work
[03:54] <ssstormy> sudo apt-get install synaptic
[03:54] <Xenguy> jtd: right-click/Settings
[03:55] <ssstormy> you need the root privs to use it or install any packages for that matter
[03:55] <Xenguy> Kleggas: ya lost me :-)
[03:55] <jtd> I know, I figured it was the same as any other desktop environment.
[03:55] <Kleggas> Xenguy: Ctrl-Alt-F2/3/4/5/6
[03:55] <Kleggas> Xenguy: why?
[03:55] <Xenguy> Kleggas: his X is frozen (if that is what you mean)
[03:55] <Kleggas> Xenguy: oh, ok :D
[03:56] <Eleaf> I have an old server with dual processors, what is the easiest way to get both processors working?
[03:56] <jtd> Xenguy, sstormy: is there a graphical login program for xubuntu?
[03:56] <Kleggas> might be dificult to open up a terminal in X then ;)
[03:56] <jtd> trying to install gdm installs a lot of GNOME cruft.
[03:56] <Xenguy> jtd: same (gdm)
[03:56] <jtd> hm
[03:56] <jtd> ok
[03:56] <NCLife> how do i use xkill to kill gdesklets?
[03:56] <Xenguy> jtd: there are others I suppose (xdm, kdm)
[03:56] <Kleggas> NCLife: you type it in a terminal
[03:56] <ssstormy> jtd, if you dont' wanna install gdm
[03:56] <CanYouHelpMePlz> NCLife: click on one of the desklets
[03:56] <Red-Sox> what is a good ubuntu-supported wi-fi card?
[03:57] <Red-Sox> umm...
[03:57] <tonyyarusso> Can I make apt-get remove with a wildcard, and make it ask me for each package for confirmation?
[03:57] <ssstormy> xdm is the most lightweight
[03:57] <CanYouHelpMePlz> Red-Sox: probably any INTEL one.
[03:57] <lightdifference> uh...can anyone tell me how to start up firestarter?
[03:57] <tonyyarusso> Red-Sox, I have Intel PRO/Wireless 2915 a/b/g, and it's good.
[03:57] <Eleaf> I have an old server with dual processors, what is the easiest way to get both processors working?
[03:57] <borisattva> i'm trying to ./configure network manager on a fresh dapper install and i get no c compiler found in path even though i have gcc installed..
[03:57] <Xenguy> tonyyarusso: not sure, but worst case scenario is just prepare your command-line with a good editor :-)
[03:57] <Red-Sox> CanYouHelpMePlz: umm... PC card?
[03:57] <yatesy> Eleaf: using a SMP kernel
[03:57] <Red-Sox> CanYouHelpMePlz: for my lappy?
[03:57] <NCLife> Kleggas, merci
[03:58] <CanYouHelpMePlz> Red-Sox: yes
[03:58] <tonyyarusso> Xenguy, Uh, what?
[03:58] <Red-Sox> CanYouHelpMePlz: link please?
[03:58] <Eleaf> yatesy, yes, how should I get that?  Do I need internet......?
[03:58] <navarone> NCLife,  alt-f2 anf type "xkill" and click the gdesklet console
[03:58] <Xenguy> tonyyarusso: only the buffer knows for sure :-)
[03:58] <navarone> lightdifference, Applications/System/Firestarter
[03:59] <yatesy> Eleaf: use apt and search for an SMP kernel, and yes you'll probably need internet access to download the package
[03:59] <tonyyarusso> Xenguy, Whoosh...over the head.
[03:59] <Xenguy> tonyyarusso: it's a fast channel, happens to us all
[03:59] <lightdifference> navarone: nothing...there.
[03:59] <Eleaf> yatesy, is there an easy way to know if the second processor is working without a smp kernel?
[03:59] <navarone> lightdifference, is it installed?
[03:59] <lightdifference> navarone: oops.
[03:59] <yatesy> Eleaf: no idea, never had a dual cpu system in my life :)
[03:59] <Eleaf> yatesy, like, just to know if the motherboard see's it
[03:59] <tonyyarusso> Xenguy, What does an editor have to do with what I'm doing, and what do you mean by a buffer?
[03:59] <yatesy> Eleaf: BIOS i guess
[03:59] <Xenguy> tonyyarusso: plus, I occasionally spout nonsense 8-D
[03:59] <MickMcMack> Eleaf, cat /proc/cpuinfo
[04:00] <Red-Sox> CanYouHelpMePlz: can you please give me a link?
[04:00] <MickMcMack> Eleaf, see if there are two procs there.
[04:00] <Eleaf> MickMcMack, no..
[04:00] <Red-Sox> CanYouHelpMePlz: oh, sorry, I already asked
[04:00] <Red-Sox> :(
[04:00] <Xenguy> tonyyarusso: buffer == preceding, up-scrolling text
[04:00] <MickMcMack> Eleaf, no what? :S
[04:00] <Unity> hey is there something like kate or kwrite for gnome? something that has a lot of syntax highlighting and paretheses matching (nat gedit)? and something that uses the X clipboard well?
[04:00] <Eleaf> only one processor MickMcMack = /
[04:00] <MickMcMack> Unity, jEdit.
[04:00] <MickMcMack> Eleaf, you need to update your BIOS then.
[04:00] <Unity> MickMcMack: thx let me take a look
[04:00] <MickMcMack> Eleaf, CPU1 is the _second_ processor, by the way.
[04:00] <Xenguy> Unity: gedit?  glimpse?
[04:00] <tobehz> Whenever I try to play an audio file from a remote server (SMB share or SFTP link) it fails to load, and I have to copy the file to my computer to play it. Any way around this, or am I not doing something right?
[04:01] <Eleaf> MickMcMack, ah, I see.  It complained about a missing bios something whenever I only used the other processor
[04:01] <Kleggas> Unity: gvim has nice highlighting for code
[04:01] <tonyyarusso> Xenguy, Ah right.  (How do I see that anyway?)
[04:01] <Eleaf> MickMcMack, where would it say cpu1?
[04:01] <whatwhat> is secure install java in /usr/java/ ?
[04:01] <MickMcMack> Eleaf, in /proc/cpuinfo
[04:01] <Xenguy> tonyyarusso: PgUp, or /lastlog <nick>
[04:01] <CanYouHelpMePlz> Red-Sox: just pick any intel wireless card that meets your network, like G or whatever
[04:01] <graham> ssstormy: I don't see dvd::rip in the repositories, I have added the usual ones as well
[04:01] <lightdifference> navarone: where do I get...firestarter?
[04:01] <ratschnowski> hello, how can i deinstall a package that was installed via cvs ?
[04:02] <Eleaf> MickMcMack, alright, how am I going to find a new bios for this old thing?
[04:02] <jtd> why is there no pretty graphical startup with xubuntu?
[04:02] <Xenguy> tonyyarusso: /lastlog is like a grep for IRC -- useful :-)
[04:02] <jtd> with the "ubuntu" logo and all that?
[04:02] <navarone> lightdifference,  sudo apt-get install firestarter
[04:02] <ratschnowski> lightdifference, apt-get install firestarter
[04:02] <MickMcMack> Eleaf, Google for your motherboard.
[04:02] <Eleaf> MickMcMack, eeek
[04:02] <ratschnowski> lightdifference, with sudo
[04:02] <Eleaf> MickMcMack, is there an easy way to find the motherboard version from the command line?  This thing is a mess... lol
[04:03] <lightdifference> It can't find the package.
[04:03] <Xenguy> jtd: there should be actually
[04:03] <jtd> and why does xdm start but then it doesn't do anything?
[04:03] <Unity> jedit, gvim, and glimpse are all not in the repos?
[04:03] <ratschnowski> lightdifference, apt-get update
[04:03] <ratschnowski> sudo apt-get update
[04:03] <tonyyarusso> graham, dvdrip is in multiverse.
[04:03] <jtd> Xenguy: how did you install it?  I did a server install and then did sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop.
[04:03] <ratschnowski> sudo apt-get search firestarter
[04:03] <Xenguy> jtd: ahh... I use regular gdm; haven't messed with xdm
[04:03] <metalsand> How can I figure out my suiduser?
[04:03] <adub> im trying to register the nessus for the plugins but it is bashing the command they sent in the email
[04:03] <alpha> What would be the best bittorrent app for ubuntu?
[04:03] <Kleggas> Unity: gvim package to install is vim-gnome
[04:04] <lightdifference> ratschnowski: still nothing.
[04:04] <Xenguy> jtd: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop <-- should work fine
[04:04] <navarone> lightdifference, you have to enable universe repo
[04:04] <hyperactivecrond> !info firefox
[04:04] <ubotu> firefox: (lightweight web browser based on Mozilla), section web, is optional. Version: 1.0.7-0ubuntu20 (breezy), Packaged size: 8268 kB, Installed size: 23932 kB
[04:04] <metalsand> How can I figure out my suiduser?
[04:04] <cafuego> There's not really any advantage to using xdm of gdm. xdm does NOT in fact belong with xfce.
[04:04] <ratschnowski> lightdifference, pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:04] <hyperactivecrond> metalsand: whoami
[04:04] <graham> tonyyarusso, for breezy?
[04:04] <Xenguy> jtd: I did a regular install, then installed xubuntu-desktop as an after-thought
[04:04] <metalsand> hyperactivecrond: Perfect. thanks
[04:04] <cafuego> Eleaf: Try 'read-edid'
[04:04] <tonyyarusso> graham, Yes.
[04:05] <graham> tonyyarusso, I even have backports on and it says not found :/
[04:05] <tonyyarusso> How can I use wildcards with apt-get install / remove?
[04:05] <hyperactivecrond> tonyyarusso: *
[04:05] <Eleaf> cafuego, read-edid ?
[04:06] <Eleaf> oh
[04:06] <Eleaf> I guess I need internet for that..
[04:06] <ratschnowski> lightdifference, what ubuntu version do u use?
[04:06] <lightdifference> ratschnowski: thanks, I had to uncomment the line in the list file.
[04:06] <jtd> ah.
[04:06] <jtd> that would explain it.
[04:06] <ratschnowski> if u are using breezy, take this sources.list: http://pastebin.ca/37936
[04:06] <tonyyarusso> hyperactivecrond, Ah, it was getting confused by a bad option.
[04:07] <Kleggas> so much code, so little time. bye all, need to work
[04:07] <tonyyarusso> Oh, that's why I still have KDE stuff - Kaffeine.  Duh.
[04:07] <navarone> lightdifference, you may be able to enable universe by trying to install firestarter thru Add Applications and not synaptic. System/Admin/Add App/go to System tool section/More programs...and select firestarter. It may prompt you that you need to enable universe and you go okay and it is done
[04:07] <delire> are we well people
[04:07] <delire> ..
[04:07] <delire> good
[04:08] <Red-Sox> delire: :D
[04:08] <navarone> ...lol...just read your entry about uncommenting...all that typing...<sigh>
[04:08] <Eleaf> cafuego, jeez, these things are soo buggy.  It's like a 50% chance if it will go to the bios if I ask it to.  And it takes about 6 or 7 minutes just to get to the bootloader lol
[04:09] <cafuego> Eleaf: Ugh. What brand is it?
[04:09] <tonyyarusso> How can I configure which image (Ubuntu's/Kubuntu's) usplash uses?
[04:09] <Eleaf> cafuego, ibm pc server 325
[04:09] <lightdifference> say, how do i update ubuntu to *.10?
[04:09] <_jason> tonyyarusso: that link didn't work?
[04:09] <cafuego> tonyyarusso: update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so  (I think)
[04:09] <Eleaf> cafuego, I'm not finding a bios for this
[04:09] <cafuego> tonyyarusso: You *MUST* reinstall linux-image after doing that.
[04:10] <_jason> tonyyarusso: oh usplash, umm that's swhat cafuego said and then dpkg-reconfigure the linux image
[04:10] <cafuego> s/reinstall/dpkg-reconfigure/
[04:10] <tonyyarusso> Thanks _jason, cafuego.
[04:10] <cafuego> tonyyarusso: If you forget step 2, a new initrd image with the updated artwork won't be generated.
[04:11] <tonyyarusso> cafuego, Got it.
[04:12] <hunkyspunky2> hello..i
[04:12] <hunkyspunky2> need some help
[04:12] <decaf> !tell lightdifference about breezy
[04:12] <cafuego> 40.0C
[04:12] <flight_master> hunkyspunky2: what kind of help?
[04:12] <lightdifference> decaf: I got it
[04:12] <hunkyspunky2> after i installed ubuntu..
[04:13] <hunkyspunky2> now when i run windows 98(dual boot)
[04:13] <hunkyspunky2> my browser..
[04:13] <hunkyspunky2> sometimes can't connect to servers
[04:13] <hunkyspunky2> like now
[04:13] <hunkyspunky2> i try to surf web...
[04:13] <hunkyspunky2> but can't
[04:13] <cafuego> Yes.
[04:13] <hunkyspunky2> but i can still connect to mirc chat rooms
[04:13] <flight_master> hunkyspunky2: That's not a problem with Ubuntu... That is a problem with Winsucks :P
[04:13] <cafuego> But you can't belame Ubuntu for Win98 being crap.
[04:13] <hunkyspunky2> what could be the problem?
[04:14] <decaf> !tell hunkyspunky2 about enter
[04:14] <flight_master> hunkyspunky2: Installing Ubuntu has nothing to do with this
[04:14] <tonyyarusso> !tell hunkyspunky2 about enter
[04:14] <MickMcMack> Teh bot is dead?
[04:14] <jimmy_> Hi,all.
[04:14] <hunkyspunky2> decafand tonnyarusso okay will do for now on
[04:14] <brasko> Anyone know how to setup CVS server on ubuntu?
[04:14] <brasko> I have the cvs package.
[04:14] <cafuego> !test
[04:14] <ubotu> Failed.
[04:14] <tonyyarusso> MickMcMack, No...
[04:15] <brasko> Was wondering if I needed the cvsd package.
[04:15] <MickMcMack> Hmmz.
[04:15] <brasko> I also already have the directory /var/lib/cvs
[04:15] <hunkyspunky2> okay i'll go onto a windows chat room and see if i can get any help
[04:15] <decaf> bot fine, "!tell" works private
[04:15] <cafuego> brasko: 'cvsd' is a chrooted version of cvs. You don't need it to run a normal cvs server.
[04:15] <brasko> OK, thanks.
[04:15] <jimmy_> Anyone installed gnome-art ?
[04:15] <brasko> I used to run cvs server on my old debian box
[04:16] <brasko> Can I copy the directories over to the ubuntu box?
[04:16] <cafuego> brasko: Yes
[04:16] <cafuego> brasko: and add the same cfg in inetd.conf or xinitd.conf
[04:16] <brasko> OK, let me start with that.
[04:16] <sleepinglion> how to register
[04:16] <pellsweb> help
[04:16] <Gnat42> Hello all, anyone here have an ATI Radeon card and AMD64 machine and get ati's fireglcontrolpanel running?
[04:16] <cafuego> s/xinitd/xinetd/
[04:16] <Gnat42> when I attempt to start it
[04:16] <fuel> fglx sucks
[04:16] <pellsweb> hello please help
[04:16] <Gnat42> totally
[04:16] <cafuego> Gnat42: ati and amd64 are (still) not friends.
[04:16] <d33t> i'm having some problems with keychain, ssh-agent and ssh-add on a remote machine....... can anyone help me out?
[04:17] <tonyyarusso> pellsweb, Just ask.
[04:17] <Gnat42> however I can't get non-cloned windows with the ati driver correct?
[04:17] <fuel> i just used ubuntus default radeon sub drivers
[04:17] <brasko> my /etc/inetd.conf is empty, odd.
[04:17] <Gnat42> do the radeon drivers support dual head?
[04:17] <jimmy_> Gnome-art quit without any information when I select a art catalog at the menu. What's happened?
[04:17] <Gnat42> I don't need 3d acceleration
[04:17] <Gnat42> just not a cloned screen
[04:17] <pellsweb> i am very new
[04:18] <cafuego> brasko: Check /etc/xinetd.d
[04:18] <pellsweb> like 1 hour so i dont know how to install anything
[04:18] <pellsweb> i have dvd author and i cant install it
[04:18] <cafuego> Gnat42: Then all you should need is the radeon drivers and xinerama.
[04:18] <jimmy_> pellsweb
[04:18] <pellsweb> what do i do
[04:18] <brasko> I can't explain why, but the file doesn't exist
[04:18] <tonyyarusso> pellsweb, What do you mean you "have it"?
[04:18] <sleepinglion> tonyyarusso   i don't remember how to register  is it /msg nicksrv nickname passwd  mailaddress
[04:18] <jimmy_> pellsweb, type sudo synaptic in terminal
[04:19] <brasko> so I have several repos in /var/lib/cvs, all owned by root:root
[04:19] <Gnat42> cafuego: do you happen to have some docs or location to read about the xinerama options?
[04:19] <brasko> cafuego: what do you think the permissions should be?
[04:19] <jimmy_> pellsweb, decide what you need before download anything :)
[04:19] <Gnat42> I had it working at one point but well, never anything but cloned
[04:19] <pellsweb> i downloaded the program dvdauthor and now i dont know how to install it
[04:19] <delire> Gnat: it seems it's still generally more sensible to load a full i386 install onto the amd64 arch.
[04:20] <Gnat42> yeah, this isn't the only thing that the AMD64 is giving me grief over either.
[04:20] <delire> .. given that amd64 is just a superset of i386.
[04:20] <pellsweb> i need a dvd writing software
[04:20] <tonyyarusso> pellsweb, The better idea would be to go to Applications > Administration > Terminal, type sudo apt-get install dvdauthor, and enter your passwd when asked.
[04:20] <brasko> any ideas what user:group should own files in /var/lib/cvs?
[04:20] <CanYouHelpMePlz> how do i tell on linux how much an ethernet adaptor has downloaded/uploaded?
[04:20] <jbzz> pellsweb:   Does the file you downloaded end in      .deb       ?
[04:20] <Gnat42> question, with an AMD64, if you install the i386 version, can you not access the 64bit "functions" of the cpu if needed?
[04:20] <delire> pellsweb: gnomebaker or k3b are a good start.
[04:21] <jimmy_> pellsweb, how does the downloaded file looks like? a deb, zip, or tar.gz ?
[04:21] <sleepinglion>  /msg nickserv help register
[04:21] <pellsweb> it was atar.gz i have extracted it
[04:21] <rrbx> hi, does someone have a link for win32 codecs
[04:21] <tonyyarusso> pellsweb, Yeah, definitely easier to get it with apt/synaptic.
[04:22] <brasko> For instance, I currently get, cvs update: failed to create lock directory for `/var/lib/cvs/bob/config' (/var/lib/cvs/bob/config/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
[04:22] <tonyyarusso> !tell rrbx about w32codecs
[04:22] <pellsweb> how
[04:22] <CanYouHelpMePlz> how do i tell on linux how much an ethernet adaptor has downloaded/uploaded?
[04:22] <poningru> jeez I fscked my fiklesystem
[04:22] <poningru> thankfully fsck fixed it
[04:22] <brasko> CanYouHelpMePlz: /sbin/ifconfig
[04:22] <jimmy_> pellsweb, select synaptic from menu or type sudo synaptic in terminal.
[04:22] <tonyyarusso> pellsweb, Either what I said earlier, or System > Administration > Synaptic package manager, and find the package.
[04:22] <brasko> CanYouHelpMePlz: will tell you the Tx and Rx packets
[04:23] <Eleaf> cafuego, I cannot find a bios for this server.
[04:23] <CanYouHelpMePlz> brasko: is tx up or down
[04:23] <brasko> CanYouHelpMePlz: Tx is trasmit, so it's upload
[04:23] <CanYouHelpMePlz> brasko: thanks
[04:23] <brasko> Rx is received
[04:23] <brasko> Also, notice the collisions.
[04:24] <adub> im trying to register the nessus for the plugins but it is bashing the command they sent in the email
[04:24] <brasko> CanYouHelpMePlz: no problem.
[04:24] <quacker> I did apt-get dist-upgrade a few days ago and ever since then Dapper's X server has been broken -- help!
[04:24] <pellsweb> i cant figure this out
[04:24] <brasko> So, no one knows what the correct permissions for /var/lib/cvs should be/
[04:24] <adub> opt/nessus/bin/nessus-fetch --register code
[04:24] <jimmy_> pellsweb...........................
[04:24] <adub> the above is the command i type
[04:24] <tonyyarusso> quacker, Dapper X being broken is a known issue.
[04:24] <Kyral> quacker: sudo ln -s /usr/bin/Xorg /usr/X11R6/bin/X
[04:24] <jbn-o> can anyone recommend a good place to find docs on how to: 1: prevent the icons, panel arrangement from being removed across sessions (meaning that a logout/login restores them to how they were) and 2: add MP3 playback to all programs that deal with sounds in Ubuntu?
[04:25] <cafuego> tonyyarusso: I thought that got fixed 2 days ago.
[04:25] <quacker> tonyyarusso: ya think?  <sarcasm>
[04:25] <rrbx> tonyyarusso: that link isn't opening?
[04:25] <sleepinglion> clear
[04:25] <d33t> i'm trying to configure a passwordless ssh connection with ssh-agent and keychain on a remote machine that has no keyboard or monitor on it...... can this be done? i'm habing problems caching the passphrase globally.....
[04:25] <tonyyarusso> cafuego, Could be.  (Two days isn't enough time for me to have been filled in :) )
[04:25] <delire> brasko: i have drwxrwsr-x 3 root src 4096 2004-11-01 21:06 for CVSROOT
[04:25] <pellsweb> why cant installs be easy
[04:25] <Eleaf> cafuego, it says make 250 mhz.  Does that mean that it is impossible to put a 450 mhz processor in this thing?
[04:25] <Eleaf> cafuego, max*
[04:25] <quacker> tonyyarusso: how about an workaround solution -- I didn't come here to try to tell you something you don't already know, I came here to get you to tell me something that I don't already know -- heh.
[04:26] <cafuego> quacker: Do another dist-upgrade. See if that fixes it. if not, consider you should perhaps not run non-stable Ubuntu versions in the future.
[04:26] <quacker> cafuego: nope
[04:26] <pellsweb> no wonder i stuck with windows so long
[04:26] <cafuego> quacker: After that, 'cd /usr/bin/X11; ln -s Xorg X'
[04:26] <tonyyarusso> rrbx, Try https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[04:26] <d33t> pellsweb - apt-get is simple....
[04:26] <Eleaf> cafuego, ?
[04:26] <delire> cafuego: always best to wait for a distribution to become stable before upgrading to it.
[04:27] <brasko> delire: Thanks!
[04:27] <delire> sorry cafuego
[04:27] <fuel> gnome has crappy wireless support
[04:27] <pellsweb> yes but it says cant find
[04:27] <delire> quacker: always best to wait for a distribution to become stable before upgrading to it.
[04:27] <brasko> delire: so I should make my user "bob" be part of the src group?
[04:27] <quacker> cafuego: again -- usefull suggestions are greatly appreaciated -- like where I can get source for the broken GLcore module and (just maybe) make a 'contribution' to Ubuntu development by testing the aforesaid.
[04:27] <d33t> pellsweb - what package?
[04:27] <delire> brasko: yes
[04:27] <pellsweb> dvdauthor
[04:27] <brasko> delire: Thanks!
[04:27] <delire> brasko: np
[04:27] <quacker> cafuego: if you'
[04:27] <cafuego> quacker: Start by pasting the Xorg.0.log file to the pastebin.
[04:28] <jtd> fuel, how do you figure?
[04:28] <tonyyarusso> !tell pellsweb about universe
[04:28] <d33t> pellsweb - look in /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:28] <pellsweb> how d33t
[04:29] <fuel> not o many options
[04:29] <d33t> open a term and run 'sudo /etc/apt/sources.list'
[04:29] <d33t> er
[04:29] <d33t> sorry
[04:29] <d33t> open a term and run 'sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list'
[04:29] <d33t> enter your password when asked
[04:29] <quacker> cafuego: re tired of people nagging and whining for help with 'unstable' or 'testing' gak then you might as well try to recruit 'private betesters'too.  Hmmm, re: what you said, is pastebin compatible with lynx?
[04:29] <Eleaf> cafuego, ...
[04:29] <decaf> pellsweb: replace "vi" with gedit
[04:29] <lysis_> d33t vi is so difficult to use in my opinion.  i just use nano
[04:30] <d33t> ok, fine, use nano
[04:30] <d33t> heh
[04:30] <quacker> lysis_: you might really love aee then
[04:30] <d33t> i learned vi from day 1, so i like it
[04:30] <d33t> pellsweb, still with me?
[04:30] <lysis_> quacker, why's that?
[04:31] <cafuego> quacker: I don't see how asking on #ubuntu how to fix problems helps Ubuntu development.
[04:31] <fuel> my ipod crashed ubuntu
[04:31] <quacker> lysis_: *apt-get install aee* and check it out
[04:31] <pellsweb> ok i have /etc/apt/sources.listgedit    [new file]             0,0- 1     all
[04:31] <brasko> delire: sorry, could you retell me what your permissions are (not the owners)
[04:31] <brasko> for some reason, I'm still getting permission denied.
[04:32] <brasko> Do I have to restart X, in order for the group permission to take effect?
[04:32] <jtd> why anyone would ever use vi is beyond me.
[04:32] <brasko> jtd: you mean instead of vim? :)
[04:32] <d33t> pellsweb, check pm
[04:32] <delire> brasko: for /var/lib/cvs itself i have: drwxrwsr-x  3 root src 4096 2004-11-01 21:06 cvs
[04:32] <quacker> cafuego, that's becasue you have an 'attitude problem'  ask someone like SABDFL to explain the idea of community-based development to you sometime (and let's take this to #ubuntu-offtopic if you feel any need to defend yourself or even otherwise respond further)
[04:33] <pellsweb> ??
[04:33] <brasko> delire: yup, that's what I have.
[04:33] <d33t> heh, ok
[04:33] <d33t> nm
[04:33] <d33t> you have the file open in gedit?
[04:33] <quacker> =oD
[04:33] <pellsweb> umm dunno
[04:33] <pellsweb> lol
[04:33] <brasko> and inside, the same thing, except no write for group permission
[04:33] <brasko> hmmm
[04:33] <brasko> is htat the problem?
[04:33] <brasko> definatly doesn't seem correct
[04:33] <d33t> heh, this is gonna be tough
[04:33] <quacker> Anyone ele want to try to find a workaround to the  Dapper glcore bug?
[04:34] <delire> brasko: yes likely. try a chown with the flag -R
[04:34] <CanYouHelpMePlz> is their something better for gnome then gdesklets to show memory etc?
[04:34] <quacker> Maybe we can try reverting single files to earlier versions???
[04:34] <d33t> go to Application -> Accessories -> terminal
[04:34] <pellsweb> ok done that
[04:34] <d33t> then type in the following:
[04:34] <delire> brasko: 'sudo chown -R you:src /var/lib/cvs' i'd imagine would do it.
[04:35] <tonyyarusso> So I was going to reinstall linux-image, and I though apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-'uname -r' would work, but it didn't understand.  Should I be able to do that somehow, or do I have to just type it in?
[04:35] <d33t> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:35] <brasko> Does the command 'sudo chown -R g+w /var/lib/cvs' look correct?
[04:35] <d33t> you can copy and paste that if you want
[04:35] <brasko> oops, chmod I mean
[04:35] <cafuego> quacker: Like I said, why don't you start by pasting the Xorg.0.log file to the pastebin?
[04:35] <brasko> For instance, this is a directory in /var/lib/cvs
[04:35] <dcode> how do I disable the virtual screen resolutions in xorg?
[04:35] <brasko> drwxr-sr-x   8 root src  4096 2006-01-21 22:18 bob
[04:35] <d33t> pellsweb: you get that far?
[04:36] <emi> hy guys. I have ubuntu already installed and reinstalled winxp. now I've lost the bootmanager and I get The file /boot/grub/stage1 not read correctly. during grub-install
[04:36] <quacker> cafuego -- I'll repeat my answer to that suggestion (it was another qwuestion) in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:36] <pellsweb> says invalid user
[04:36] <annie> hey, how can I install kernel source?
[04:36] <delire> quacker: you give very little information. what about error output?
[04:36] <tonyyarusso> cafuego, And was _jason correct in thinking I could just use dpkg-reconfigure, or do I have to actually reinstall it?
[04:36] <brasko> delire: whooohooo! it works. Thanks for the help!
[04:36] <pellsweb> To compile, type
[04:36] <pellsweb> 	./configure
[04:36] <pellsweb> 	make
[04:36] <pellsweb> Then to install, type
[04:36] <pellsweb> 	make install
[04:36] <pellsweb> If you don't want the files installed to /usr/local/bin, then you can
[04:36] <cafuego> quacker: pastebin has a handy little script that can upload the file using curl or python.
[04:36] <pellsweb> specify --prefix=/usr or some other dir as a parameter to configure.
[04:36] <cafuego> pellsweb: Do not paste!
[04:36] <delire> brasko: no problem. i'm glad it does ;)
[04:36] <pellsweb> ok sorry
[04:37] <d33t> heh, trust, this is MUCH easier
[04:37] <quacker> delire -- can you /join #ubuntu-offtopic please so I can tell both you and cafuego at the same time?
[04:37] <d33t> once you do this part once, you never have to do it again
[04:37] <pellsweb> not for me lol
[04:37] <brasko> delire: I installed ubuntu I few weeks ago. I had no idea how much stuff I had setup on my last machine.
[04:37] <pins> how does one get xine installed
[04:37] <d33t> and installs are super easy
[04:37] <pellsweb> its all foreign ground
[04:37] <delire> brasko: hehe. sounds like you're just getting settled.
[04:37] <happyhog> how do i install anything
[04:37] <d33t> i know, i used windows before
[04:37] <brasko> delire: I think I'm finally reaching the end. I hope when the next release comes out, the upgrade will be easy.
[04:37] <d33t> it's strange :)
[04:37] <pellsweb> what is a good dvd writer
[04:37] <fuel> pioneer
[04:37] <pellsweb> that will convert divx
[04:37] <tonyyarusso> annie, For what architecture?
[04:37] <brasko> delire: The debian distro's were not often updated, but when they did, it didn't break much for me
[04:37] <delire> quacker: i'm off to bed shortly. it's nearly dawn here. good luck with it all. make sure you capture output and post bugs.
[04:37] <pellsweb> i mean software not writer
[04:38] <d33t> for gnome i'm not sure
[04:38] <happyhog> does anyone know how to install .deb packages?
[04:38] <fuel> for linux?
[04:38] <Eleaf> Happuf, yes
[04:38] <fuel> or windows?
[04:38] <Eleaf> happyhog, yes
[04:38] <pellsweb> if i cant install a simple package what hope do i have
[04:38] <tonyyarusso> annie, Never mind, I'm an idiot sometimes.
[04:38] <delire> brasko: well the next stable release isn't far away. it's about to be the best yet from what i can see.
[04:38] <d33t> do you know ehre Synaptic is?
[04:38] <happyhog> ok, how
[04:38] <Eleaf> happyhog, sudo dpkg -i packagename
[04:38] <delire> anyway, must leave. tis late.
[04:38] <tonyyarusso> annie, Source is architecture-independent.
[04:38] <happyhog> i did that with a dew plugins
[04:38] <d33t> pellsweb, it's due to repositories
[04:38] <annie> oh, okay
[04:38] <happyhog> but only 2 worked
[04:38] <Eleaf> happyhog, why?
[04:39] <brasko> delire: I can't wait! Thanks again for the help.
[04:39] <pellsweb> synaptic package manager
[04:39] <happyhog> i have no idea why they didnt work
[04:39] <happyhog> they are plugins for audio
[04:39] <__Dwayne> evening all..I have a wifi problem--anyone here willing to assist?
[04:39] <annie> I've just intalled ubuntu and I'm just trying to get my wireless working
[04:39] <d33t> pellsweb, yes
[04:39] <Eleaf> happyhog, what did it say when you tried to isntall them?
[04:39] <pellsweb> yes have that open and password done
[04:39] <d33t> you can search in there for dvd authoring
[04:39] <tonyyarusso> annie, sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.12 will get it for you.
[04:39] <d33t> or burning
[04:40] <d33t> but, you REALLY should read this: http://ubuntuguide.org/#extrarepositories
[04:40] <happyhog> it said that "errors where encountered during processing
[04:40] <annie> okay, wonderful, thanks tonyyarusso!
[04:40] <tonyyarusso> annie, np
[04:40] <happyhog> it reads the database, and then unpacks
[04:40] <Eleaf> happyhog, what else?
[04:40] <d33t> you want to uncomment the lines and allow access to to the 'universe' repositories
[04:40] <Milk_> has anyone here tried to install ubuntu on an old world mac?
[04:40] <pins> sudo apt-get install xine?
[04:40] <happyhog> it says it has "dependancy" problems
[04:40] <d33t> it will open you up to a world of software
[04:40] <pellsweb> ok im getting nowhere searching in there
[04:40] <pins> would that do it?
[04:40] <d33t> don't search
[04:40] <d33t> it's a direct link
[04:41] <Eleaf> happyhog, you probably don't have all the dependencies
[04:41] <d33t> everything you need is right there
[04:41] <happyhog> how do i know which ones to get
[04:41] <Eleaf> happyhog, are those packages available through apt?
[04:41] <happyhog> i downloaded them from pakages.ubunut
[04:41] <Eleaf> happyhog, what are you trying to install?
[04:41] <pellsweb> ummm whoosh right over my head
[04:41] <Eleaf> oh
[04:41] <happyhog> audio plugins for gstreamer
[04:41] <__Dwayne> anyone know what this error means (after doing 'ndiswrapper -m) 'modprobe config already contains alias directive'.. I can't find the modprobe.conf file to even look at it..
[04:41] <Eleaf> happyhog, there is an easier way
[04:41] <happyhog> ok
[04:41] <happyhog> how
[04:41] <Seb> sup yall
[04:42] <pellsweb> d33t did i say ive only been using linux about an hour
[04:42] <Eleaf> happyhog, what is the exact package names?
[04:42] <fr500> hello
[04:42] <d33t> no, but i knew you were a totel n00b :)
[04:42] <tonyyarusso> happyhog, apt-get.  sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.8-something.
[04:42] <Seb> why would totem refuse to read my mp3s ("no decoders found to handle the stream") ?
[04:42] <CanYouHelpMePlz> pellsweb: what are you trying to do?
[04:42] <Eleaf> yeah what tonyyarusso said happyhog
[04:42] <Eleaf> happyhog, you can also use synaptic
[04:42] <fr500> Seb, maybe they are MP3 instead of mp3?
[04:42] <pellsweb> im tryiong to install some software called dvdauthor
[04:43] <happyhog> i did that too
[04:43] <d33t> if you type in the things in the black boxed, you will be able to do this
[04:43] <fr500> (Seb in uppercase)
[04:43] <Seb> fr500: well mpg123 plays them fine
[04:43] <happyhog> the computer does not have internet
[04:43] <fr500> the extension i mean
[04:43] <tonyyarusso> !tell Seb about mp3
[04:43] <Eleaf> happyhog, oh...  well that won't work then.
[04:43] <pellsweb> ok type it in to what
[04:43] <dcode> xorg has a huge virtual size for my screen resolution, how do I disable that.  I never want to have a viewport
[04:43] <ubuntu> pellsweb: i have only been using ubunt for about 10 mins
[04:43] <fr500> Seb, you need gstreamer plugins for mp3
[04:43] <happyhog> yeah, but i have downloaded the packages
[04:43] <d33t> remember how i had you open that terminal?
[04:44] <happyhog> and they are in my desktop folder
[04:44] <rrbx> hey my cpu is changing speeds on it's own, is that normal?
[04:44] <pellsweb> yes
[04:44] <poningru> !myth
[04:44] <ubotu> somebody said myth was for watching TV in Linux.  Check out http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/16/instructions-to-install-mythtv/
[04:44] <Eleaf> rrbx, yea, it's probably powernowd
[04:44] <d33t> so, put it in that terminal window
[04:44] <rrbx> yeah it is powernowd
[04:44] <pellsweb> i now have a whole heap of text appeared
[04:44] <d33t> one line at a time
[04:44] <happyhog> do u know where to find these dependencies, eleaf?
[04:44] <d33t> just the 2 that are in the black box there
[04:44] <fuel_> irssi rules
[04:44] <d33t> after the gedit part?
[04:44] <pellsweb> yep thats right
[04:44] <fuel> yes it does
[04:45] <fr500> is there some music composition application for linux (like finale for instance)
[04:45] <Eleaf> happyhog, it should say at the ubuntu package site.  apt automaticall downloads all dependencies the package needs to run, so you don't have to do it manually..
[04:45] <arm0sfighter_> !realplayer
[04:45] <ubotu> I guess realplayer is http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[04:45] <rrbx> also my i810 doesn't give me any resolutions, so i'm using generic vesa
[04:45] <happyhog> ok, i will look there, thanks for your time, eleaf
[04:45] <pellsweb> u know what i think ill go back to windows its easier
[04:45] <happyhog> brb
[04:45] <d33t> pellsweb, you got the heap of text after typing the sudo gedit line right?
[04:45] <rrbx> is there video probs with dapper?
[04:45] <Eleaf> happyhog, sure! = )
[04:45] <pellsweb> yeah
[04:46] <d33t> ok, that's good
[04:46] <d33t> use the arrow keys to move down a bit
[04:46] <d33t> find this line....
[04:46] <tonyyarusso> Where can I find a history of things I've installed?
[04:46] <d33t> # deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary universe
[04:46] <Milk_> has anyone here tried to install ubuntu on an old world mac?
[04:46] <fuel_b> old world?
[04:46] <d33t> find it?
[04:46] <pellsweb> nope
[04:47] <fr500> tonyyarusso, you can tipe history and see what you did but it's limited to a certain number of commands
[04:47] <pellsweb> every thing i have here is breezy
[04:47] <[t0rc] > alright, having issues with nvidia PC.
[04:47] <pellsweb> no hoary
[04:47] <fr500> tonyyarusso, you could do history | grep apt-get
[04:47] <d33t> you're using gedit right?
[04:47] <Milk_> fuel_b, yes, an older g3
[04:47] <[t0rc] > got Ubuntu installed. comes to TTY.
[04:47] <alpha> is anyone here running the latest azureus on ubuntu 64?
[04:47] <d33t> oh yeha
[04:47] <pellsweb> i did what u said
[04:47] <d33t> sorry, it shoudl say breezy, not hoary
[04:47] <vader> I have an old dual processor Compaq p1 200 with close to 1 gig of RAM, the problem is that when I go to install any version of Linux, it won't even get to the partitioner. I have tried Linux noauto and most of those little trix, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can try to get passed this, I have even put in a different known good video card
[04:47] <[t0rc] > configured xorg xserver doesn't work;
[04:47] <d33t> those directions are a little old
[04:47] <emi> Milk_: I think it says on the ubuntu ppc cds that they don't work on the old workd macs
[04:47] <pellsweb> ok so whats the line again
[04:47] <tonyyarusso> fr500, That helps anyway.  I was hoping for a dpkg log or something.
[04:47] <d33t> shoudl be....
[04:47] <fr500> tonyyarusso, no clue sorru
[04:47] <fr500> sorry
[04:48] <pellsweb> deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-security universe
[04:48] <d33t> deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe multiverse
[04:48] <Milk_> emi, I thought it said they would... but I can't even get it to boot fron the CD to try
[04:48] <pellsweb> yep got it
[04:48] <d33t> ok, see the # in front of that line?
[04:48] <pc09> help
[04:49] <pellsweb> tell a lie there is no multiverse there
[04:49] <fr500> pc09, just ask
[04:49] <pc09> how can i install yahoo messenger in ubuntu?
[04:49] <d33t> does it say universe?
[04:49] <Seb> fr500: i did install all the gstreamer-plugins, do I have to restart something ?
[04:49] <decaf> vader: at least I can say, your storage controller has not been detected. I think your scsi controller isn't supported by kernel.
[04:49] <tonyyarusso> cafuego, How do I set factoids to be of the <reply> type, rather than factoid is yaddayadda?
[04:49] <d33t> because i may have added the multiverse part
[04:49] <Milk_> pc09, GAIM will do yahoo I believe
[04:49] <d33t> which you can too quit honestly
[04:49] <fr500> Seb, not really, gstreamer mad i think it is not sure though
[04:49] <tonyyarusso> pc09, Yes, Gaim will.
[04:49] <d33t> pc09, gaim will do yahoo for sure
[04:49] <Seb> fr500: how do i restart it ?
[04:49] <fr500> pc09, yes gaim can be used for yahoo messenger
[04:49] <pellsweb> d33t i have deb-src http://gb.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe
[04:50] <fr500> Seb, you don't need to restart
[04:50] <pc09> k thnx guys brb
[04:50] <Seb> fr500: hmm, then what ?
[04:50] <vader> decaf, thanx, I was sort of thinking that but I would rather be sure....so I firgured I would ask
[04:50] <d33t> ah, you aren't in the us are you
[04:50] <d33t> heh
[04:50] <fr500> Seb, what totem do you have totem xine or totem gstreamer?
[04:50] <pellsweb> nope
[04:50] <emi> Milk_ : I only noticed g4 and g5
[04:50] <pellsweb> is that the line
[04:50] <pellsweb> and i am removing the hash yes
[04:51] <decaf> decaf: you should check if your scsi controller a driver has as a kernel patch or binary module. it's possible to add support to installer
[04:51] <Milk_> emi, debian it is then
[04:51] <d33t> yes, that shoudl be the line
[04:51] <d33t> remove the #
[04:51] <Seb> fr500: totem-gstreamer
[04:51] <whatwhat> what do i have to download in syncromatyc ... ubuntu to make my java works on firefox?
[04:51] <whatwhat> :x
[04:51] <d33t> and also the # fromt he line below it
[04:51] <cafuego> tonyyarusso: Exactly like that, factoid is <reply> foobar
[04:51] <vader> decaf, working on it lol
[04:51] <pellsweb> ok
[04:51] <d33t> then save it
[04:51] <d33t> and you can close it then
[04:51] <tonyyarusso> cafuego, Ah.  Nice.  I didn't realize it was that easy.
[04:51] <pellsweb> ok
[04:51] <d33t> then go back to the terminal and type this.....
[04:52] <d33t> sudo apt-get update
[04:52] <arm0sfighter> !realplayer
[04:52] <ubotu> I guess realplayer is http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[04:52] <emi> Milk_ : I remember installing once yellowdog. but I think its for new world also. debian then
[04:52] <Eleaf> cafuego, HelpEleaf is <reply> Ok Eleaf, I will help you greatly.  lol

[04:53] <Unity> sudo touch me
[04:53] <Icemaann> is there a package to get mp3 support in vlc, or should I just build the src package?
[04:53] <d33t> just say yes

[04:53] <tonyyarusso> cafuego, Can they have a linebreak specified in them?

[04:59] <fr500> [t0rc] , did for me
[04:59] <Munchkinguy> Anyone know the command for adding new printers?
[05:00] <d33t> pellsweb, any luck?
[05:00] <fr500> Munchkinguy, command? System->administration->printers
[05:00] <vader> that was easy lol
[05:00] <pellsweb> seems like it
[05:00] <ViGiLnT> wasnt the app gnoCHM available at the repos ?
[05:00] <Munchkinguy> fr500: I mean the text command
[05:00] <Natham> hi, ubuntu is not loading the right driver for my nic how can i force it to use a specific driver?
[05:00] <fr500> Munchkinguy, no clie
[05:00] <d33t> did the install find dvdauthor?
[05:01] <Munchkinguy> fr500: What?
[05:01] <pellsweb> it ended with setting up dvd author
[05:01] <fr500> Munchkinguy, i don't know then
[05:01] <d33t> awesome, there you go
[05:01] <graham> !azureus
[05:01] <ubotu> methinks azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AzureusHowTo
[05:01] <pellsweb> but............ where is it installed to
[05:01] <fr500> !clipboard
[05:01] <d33t> now, if you want to, there is another 3rd party repository with a bunch more software as well
[05:01] <ubotu> fr500: I give up, what is it?
[05:01] <d33t> pellsweb, does it matter?
[05:02] <d33t> if shoudl be in the application menu
[05:02] <pellsweb> it does if i want to use it
[05:02] <Munchkinguy> Anyone alse know the text command for setting up printers?
[05:02] <d33t> crap, you got me. it's not there
[05:02] <d33t> heh
[05:02] <pellsweb> i know it should be but guess what it isnt lol
[05:03] <dcode> is it normal that a normal user acct can't run startx?  do I have to login from KDM (or GDM or whatever)?
[05:03] <d33t> application -> add application
[05:03] <dcode> it tells me that the user doesn't have permission
[05:03] <Natham> hi, ubuntu is not loading the right driver for my nic how can i force it to use a specific driver?
[05:03] <pellsweb> yup
[05:04] <d33t> in the search, type dvdauthor
[05:04] <d33t> it shoudl find qdvdauthor
[05:04] <pellsweb> yep got it
[05:04] <d33t> check the box and click apply
[05:04] <d33t> then it should say it's going to add it
[05:04] <d33t> click apply again
[05:04] <pellsweb> a bit of a pian in the @rse innit
[05:04] <d33t> yeah, it is
[05:04] <pellsweb> pain
[05:05] <jono> hi all
[05:05] <d33t> dvdauthor isn't a package normally used in ubuntu it seems
[05:05] <d33t> heh
[05:05] <cappicard> good evening. Anyone else unable to get to the forums? It's timing out on me.
[05:05] <pellsweb> do i have to do that whenever i install
[05:05] <d33t> no
[05:05] <Munchkinguy> d33t: any idea?
[05:05] <ViGiLnT> wasnt the app gnoCHM available at the repos ?
[05:05] <d33t> i'm guessing there is another package that is preferred here
[05:05] <jono> I want to add export PATH=/opt/swftools/bin:$PATH to my user's login session so I get those extra tools - I tried doing this in .bash_profile with no luck - where do I do it?
[05:05] <pellsweb> so installing normally is easy yeah
[05:05] <d33t> munchkinguy: there isn't just one command
[05:06] <d33t> it's a little complicated, at least it has been for me
[05:06] <d33t> pellsweb, yes, it's usually super easy
[05:06] <pellsweb> lol i just picked a problem one
[05:06] <d33t> but, like i say, i don't know what the default burnign software is on gnome
[05:06] <d33t> i use k3b on kde
[05:06] <d33t> yes you did
[05:06] <d33t> i used to use xcdroast back in the say, but i don't know if it does dvds
[05:06] <pellsweb> and now after all that it wont do divx lol
[05:07] <d33t> wait, what are you trying to do?
[05:07] <vader> I use K3B on gnome as well, to get it going all you have to do is open a terminal and type in k3b
[05:07] <d33t> divx to dvd?
[05:07] <pellsweb> yeah
[05:07] <d33t> vader: yes, i COULD use k3b in gnome, but no burner on this machine ;)
[05:07] <pellsweb> divx to dvd
[05:08] <d33t> you want divx as data or you want a dvd you can put int eh dvd player?
[05:08] <d33t> *the
[05:08] <vader> ahhhhhhhhhhh ok lol I should pay attention to the WHOLE convo hu lol
[05:08] <pellsweb> i want to convert divx to dvd vobs
[05:08] <whatwhat> !java
[05:08] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[05:08] <d33t> well, pellsweb, that's where i stop helping you, because i have no idea how :)
[05:08] <whatwhat>  !javadebs
[05:09] <pellsweb> vader does k3d do that
[05:09] <d33t> you look on google at all?
[05:09] <whatwhat> !javadebs
[05:09] <d33t> k3b doesn't
[05:09] <pellsweb> yep and got dvdauthor
[05:09] <vader> not that I have seen

[05:09] <d33t> hld on a second
[05:10] <d33t> pellsweb, does dvdauthor convert mpeg to dvd?
[05:10] <pellsweb> umm pass
[05:11] <poningru> !myth
[05:11] <ubotu> I heard myth is for watching TV in Linux.  Check out http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/12/16/instructions-to-install-mythtv/
[05:11] <pellsweb> i should think so as its an author
[05:11] <poningru> !myth
[05:11] <d33t> pellsweb, looks like it does
[05:11] <d33t> i found this....
[05:11] <d33t> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=279507
[05:11] <d33t> bascially, you need to convert the divx file to an mpeg file first
[05:12] <d33t> i THINK mencoder is part of the mplayer package
[05:12] <cappicard> screenshot time: :)  http://saiya-jin.is-a-geek.com/images/composite-screenshot.jpg
[05:12] <d33t> but, i'm not sure
[05:12] <cappicard> mencoder is a separate package in ubuntu
[05:12] <cappicard> but it depends on mplayer afaik
[05:13] <d33t> ah
[05:13] <d33t> i've never used mencode
[05:13] <d33t> ok cappicar, i'll bite, how did you do the transparancy?
[05:13] <d33t> &cappicard, sorry
[05:13] <pellsweb> im running dual boot so if push comes to shove ill reboot and do it with windows
[05:13] <d33t> pellsweb, try installing mencode
[05:14] <tonyyarusso> Someone check these and let me know what you think: !newuser, !common.
[05:14] <pellsweb> ok
[05:14] <d33t> cappicard, and where did you find the verizon minute tracker for firefox?!
[05:14] <d33t> that's awesome!
[05:15] <cappicard> d33t: I enabled composite in xorg.conf, and then I put kwin into my session startup (after removing metacity from that list)
[05:15] <cappicard> oh, I found it at mozilla's site
[05:15] <d33t> you have a tutorial on the transperency?
[05:16] <cappicard> I found on on the forums
[05:16] <cappicard> s/on on/one on/
[05:16] <d33t> ight, i'll look around later
[05:16] <fr500> d33t, it's on the forums
[05:16] <fr500> d33t, got nvidia or ati?
[05:16] <cappicard> but I can't get to the forums though.

[05:18] <tonyyarusso> nofear, See /topic.
[05:18] <nofear> ah
[05:18] <nofear> doh
[05:18] <nofear> LOL
[05:19] <pellsweb> cant find mencoder got mplayr though
[05:19] <gerald> what's the command to start up that gnome printer setup?
[05:19] <d33t> pellsweb, i'm not sure where mencode comes from
[05:20] <d33t> er, 4200?
[05:20] <fr500> d33t, going dual in a couple of months, but i may upgrade to a 7800 first saved long time but worth every penny
[05:20] <d33t> dual display rules. i have that at work....... very nice
[05:20] <fr500> d33t, no dual card (sli)
[05:20] <Dattas> i have dual display as well, i agree
[05:20] <d33t> 3200x1200...... now THAT's realestate!
[05:21] <fr500> those ti's were the real deal on their time though, they were awesome
[05:21] <d33t> yeah, dual monitors
[05:21] <cappicard> I can get 1600x1024 on this monitor (an odd one)
[05:21] <whatwhat> i allready have the java plugin in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/  libjavaplugin_oji.so  but the firefox keeps to says to me that i need to install the java ... :\  and i have the java actived in firefox :\ someone knows ... why this is not working ? :x
[05:21] <fr500> d33t, no, sli is not dual monitors
[05:21] <cappicard> my card can do dual-DVI :)
[05:21] <fr500> yeah mine too
[05:21] <cappicard> but I'm just using the VGA port
[05:21] <cappicard> but mine can only use DVI-D monitors.
[05:21] <gerald> anyone know what command opens the gnome printer setup ?
[05:21] <d33t> wait, what are you talking about then, heh
[05:21] <Dattas> mine has dual RGB
[05:21] <d33t> i'm lost
[05:22] <fr500> d33t, with sli,you have 2 pci express cards working as one, with like 50% better performance
[05:22] <d33t> OHHHH!!!! forgot about that
[05:22] <d33t> yeah, i read a little on that
[05:22] <d33t> pretty cool tech
[05:22] <Dattas> doesn't SLI-D have dual view?
[05:22] <cappicard> Dattas: you can actually do BNC monitors?
[05:22] <Dattas> BNC? sorry not up to date on all stuffz
[05:22] <rrbx> so what do i need to have my i810 work properly?
[05:22] <d33t> yeah, i thought you still get dual display with sli....
[05:22] <d33t> maybe i'm wrong?
[05:22] <fr500> d33t, yes sure you do
[05:22] <pellsweb> ill try gnome baker
[05:23] <cappicard> oh my bad. BNC uses three separate cables for red, blue, and green
[05:23] <d33t> so you get dual display AND 50% more power for gaming..... how can you go wrong?!
[05:24] <Dattas> oh no, i ment VGA but at my work the n00bs call them RGB cables so i just call them that, and i am at work so lol
[05:24] <fr500> d33t, yah, maybe you can go beyoud dual scree i think since you get 4 ports....
[05:24] <d33t> hrm 4 screens eh?
[05:24] <fr500> d33t, dunno if it works but i guess yes
[05:24] <d33t> 3200x2400 resolution?!
[05:24] <pellsweb> i get 8 screen support here
[05:24] <Dattas> one of my co-workers has a octople screen
[05:24] <cappicard> ah. it's DB15 (if you want to be technical ;) )
[05:25] <Dattas> yeah i know :)
[05:25] <Dattas> but people give me weird looks if i go that far
[05:25] <cappicard> I have dual-link DVI-D, S-video, and DB15 on this card
[05:25] <cappicard> heh
[05:25] <cappicard> in theory, I could do three monitors (two DVI and one SVGA)
[05:25] <Dattas> two DB15's here, on my pc at home i got a DB15 and a DVI-I
[05:25] <d33t> pellsweb, back to mencoder for a second..... the package IS mencoder, note the r
[05:26] <Dattas> you mean 2 monitors and a tv? lol
[05:26] <pellsweb> yes i know
[05:26] <cappicard> and on the same card.
[05:26] <hyphenated> the touchpad on my laptop seems more sensitive under breezy compared to hoary :-/
[05:26] <cappicard> well, two DVI-D and one SVGA
[05:26] <cappicard> as a well as a TV
[05:26] <Doomhammer> guys how do I get my microphone working under teamspeak?
[05:26] <Doomhammer> i've fooled around in alsamixer, nothing seems to work
[05:26] <pellsweb> i have two dvi and svideo front and back of my machine with a scart socket also
[05:27] <cappicard> are the forums being mirrored someplace?
[05:27] <d33t> well, now that i have helped someone out and got people talking about video cards....... wonder if anyone has time to help with an ssh issue :)
[05:27] <odat> hi everyone
[05:27] <odat> anyone know how to adjust the l2 cache?
[05:27] <pellsweb> oh yeah thanks d33t
[05:27] <tonyyarusso> Can someone direct me to instructions for how to make a metapackage?
[05:28] <QMario> Are there any C++ or Java IDEs available for Ubuntu Linux?
[05:28] <d33t> np
[05:28] <steve_laptop> well eveyone dont try upgrading to 6.04 from 5.10 it killed my install buggy as hell
[05:28] <Doomhammer> QMario: Bloodshed Dev-C++ and Eclipse
[05:28] <Doomhammer> argh why doesn't my damn microphone work !?
[05:28] <Dattas> Mythtv = awesome because there is no DRM :)
[05:28] <d33t> doomhammer, if mine worked i'd help you out :) i'm in the same boat, i just don't need mine......
[05:29] <d33t> dattas, you use mythtv?
[05:29] <thoffmeyer> is there a way where I can turn off gdm and just use the login prompt?
[05:29] <Dattas> yupperz!
[05:29] <d33t> i've got a question about it...... does it have commercial skipping?
[05:29] <d33t> like automatic, one-button skipping?
[05:29] <Dattas> um i dunno, lol i just have it record show i haven't had time to look into it. i could look if you want
[05:30] <d33t> nah, no biggie
[05:30] <thoffmeyer> anyone?
[05:30] <d33t> i use beyondtv on my media pc to record tv...... it skips commercials
[05:30] <pellsweb> ok fellas seeya
[05:30] <d33t> i thought they put that in myth too, but i wasn't sure
[05:30] <fr500> d33t, what were you talking about (ssh commercial skipping :s) got lost
[05:30] <d33t> l8r pellsweb
[05:30] <d33t> fr500, 2 different things
[05:30] <d33t> heh
[05:30] <fr500> oh d33t what ssh issue?
[05:31] <Dattas> b33t, yeah it looks like if i his end or home it will skip them
[05:31] <alpha> hey guys
[05:31] <alpha> whats the advantadge of making .deb packages?
[05:31] <steve_laptop> is there a howto out there for mythTV with ubuntu?
[05:31] <d33t> dattas, awesome...... i may be converting that box over too :)
[05:31] <hyphenated> steve_laptop: dapper is still expected to be buggy as hell. note it's 604, which is almost 3 months away.
[05:31] <d33t> fr500, here's my deal
[05:31] <d33t> i have a couple machines all running ubuntu and ssh
[05:31] <d33t> iw ant to use chared keys to log in through ssh without a password
[05:32] <d33t> i got it working, BUT
[05:32] <d33t> i have to use ssh-add with ssh-agent on the local machine for it to work right
[05:32] <steve_laptop> hyphenated, I no just wanted to try it, not a big deal on this end...
[05:32] <d33t> problem is, one machine (my backup raid server) doesn't have a screen or even keyboard connected
[05:32] <d33t> when i do ssh-add over ssh, it only stay live for that one session. when i log out, it's gone
[05:32] <thoffmeyer> anyone know how I can disable gdm and use .xinitrc and startx?
[05:32] <hyphenated> steve_laptop: I imagine most people here would have advised against it, for exactly that reason ;-)
[05:33] <QMario> D33t, so you like destroying the environment?
[05:33] <d33t> it does when it logs out
[05:33] <pierre_> hi
[05:33] <d33t> becuase the environment is only temporary for that one ssh connection
[05:33] <d33t> i dont' do it myself, it just happens
[05:34] <d33t> basically, i want to know how to cache the rsa passwords globally
[05:34] <Doomhammer> please ubuntu gods, let my mic work !
[05:34] <fr500> d33t, hmmm got you but i have no idea
[05:34] <steve_laptop> im downloading 6.04 cd and will give that a go... Crashmaster steve is back at it again
[05:34] <d33t> heh
[05:34] <fr500> in what package can i find gtkdocize?
[05:35] <d33t> nothing i read talks about the environment being destroyed.... but it makes sense why it happens
[05:35] <d33t> i thought i saw reference to a way to make it not die, but i can't find anything on it
[05:35] <d33t> i do use keychain which i thought was suposed to do what i need, but no luck.....
[05:36] <d33t> and i have the chared keys all set up and working........
[05:36] <d33t> *shared
[05:38] <d33t> sigh, i kinda thought nobody would know, but i thought i'd ask
[05:38] <fr500> d33t, #linux?
[05:38] <d33t> perhaps
[05:39] <d33t> i like the folks in here though, so i like to pop in and ask wild questions every so often :)
[05:39] <fr500> hehe
[05:39] <nekostar> doing expert install
[05:40] <nekostar> whats the diff b/t installing linux-386 linux-image-386 and linux-image-2.6.x.x.x.x.x-386
[05:40] <Doomhammer> guys what device is the microphone? /dev/dsp?
[05:41] <cheziyi> hi, may i know if the ubuntu live-cd has the option of saving the config file to some other external storage device?
[05:42] <Doomhammer> AJDSKLJFLKDS why isn't hte buggering mic working !?!??
[05:42] <Doomhammer> hasn't SOMEONE gotten it to work that could help me out ?
[05:42] <Doomhammer> not even one person ? :(
[05:42] <steve_laptop> cheziyi, yes
[05:43] <steve_laptop> I just used it to back up by files...
[05:43] <nyersa> so I have been trying to use the ubuntu live cd but a few seconds into the boot process I get a kernel panic
[05:43] <nyersa> are there any ways that I can get a more verbose version of the boot so I can see what it is doing exactly when it panics?
[05:43] <fr500> Doomhammer, never used it sorry
[05:44] <fr500> nyersa, in grub remove the word silent when it sends kernel parameters
[05:44] <yoster> hi
[05:44] <fr500> or quiet i think it is nyersa
[05:44] <cheziyi> steve_laptop, how do i go about doing it?
[05:44] <nyersa> fr500: hmm, this is with a live cd... is that just a boot option that I would pass?
[05:44] <nyersa> sry, sort of a newb :-S
[05:45] <tonyyarusso> Could someone check these and let me know what you think?: !newuser , !common .
[05:45] <fr500> nyersa, i don't really know for the live cd very sorry
[05:45] <fr500> !newuser
[05:45] <Fushi> !common

[05:46] <tonyyarusso> fr500, Try them in a pm, they're kind of long.
[05:47] <tonyyarusso> And wait a bit, since it may take a moment to show up right now.

[05:48] <fr500> i know but it didnt work
[05:48] <cheziyi> but what about custon configs, say, like firefox or ubuntu itself?
[05:48] <Fushi> !newuser
[05:49] <steve_laptop> cheziyi, im not understanding are you trying to save your setting for the next time you boot to it?
[05:49] <fr500> tonyyarusso, they are fine

[05:54] <pc09> anyone know how to install gunbound in ubuntu?
[05:54] <ljlolel> Doomhammer, can you put that in the wiki for everyone?
[05:55] <steve_laptop> I'm unable to help much wright now do to me killing my install
[05:55] <fr500> pc09, doesnt work at all because of gameguard
[05:55] <ejofee> why can't i find glade-sharp in any repo?
[05:55] <ljlolel> i guess i'll just reinstall dapper from scratch
[05:55] <Refrie1> hello sirs... i just installed ubuntu on a new machine, and installed several packages including going from 386 to 686-smp kernel, but now gnome doesn't load when i log in (gnome splash/loading window doesn't come up), failsafe session is the same.  i'm not sure what to do, short of reinstalling, which i guess wouldn't be the end of the world since it's a fresh install..... *ponder*
[05:55] <spine> did u try startx
[05:56] <Refrie1> nope, i'm in gdm.  but i can try
[05:56] <Doomhammer> ljolel: sure
[05:56] <steve_laptop> ljlolel, thats what im going to do in the morning
[05:56] <cr1mson> How do I play .asx windows media files with Ubuntu?
[05:56] <Refrie1> spine: x starts fine, i just never reach the gnome desktop
[05:56] <koruptidPryde> anybody have any idea where to look?
[05:57] <fr500> !tell cr1mson about w32codecs
[05:57] <Refrie1> cr1mson: cat it, and get the real address out of it
[05:57] <Refrie1> cr1mson: .asx is just a playlist, not a video file (right?)
[05:57] <ljlolel> cr1mson, vlc media player plays a lot of stuff
[05:57] <pc09> fr500, oh thnx now it's a big problem
[05:57] <cr1mson> Refrie1, I'm not sure, it's streaming video
[05:57] <fr500> Refrie1, it's the fie
[05:58] <Refrie1> yeah, x is fine.. just dunno where to look for info about where gnome is hanging
[05:58] <cr1mson> Refrie1, how do I cat it?
[05:58] <koruptidPryde> anybody know where to look to manually change the theme via command console?
[05:58] <Refrie1> "cat   <thefile>"
[05:59] <ljlolel> Refrie1, /etc/init.d/gdm start ?
[06:00] <cr1mson> will mplayer work as windows media player?
[06:00] <cheziyi> steve_laptop, yes, i'm trying to save my config for he next time i boot it
[06:00] <Refrie1> ljlolel: no, gdm is running fine too, it's _after_ i log in that nothing happens
[06:00] <ljlolel> oh, i had that once, it sucked, i reinstalled :(, but someone better at this may be able to help  you
[06:00] <jn> cr1mson: if u have all codecs installed
[06:01] <Refrie1> ljlolel:  *nod* thanks anyway though
[06:01] <steve_laptop> cheziyi, i dont have a clue for i have never used it that way, only for recovery
[06:02] <Travis_> has anyone considered making a server version of edubuntu? with like ldap, a student information system, samba domain controller etc.? for schools to use on their server?
[06:02] <ljlolel> cr1mson, vlc is very small, portable, incredibly function, i highly recommend it
[06:02] <ljlolel> functional
[06:02] <cr1mson> ljlolel, how do i install vlc?
[06:03] <ljlolel> Dr_Willis, lol
[06:03] <cr1mson> i used synaptic but cant find it
[06:03] <Dr_Willis> ive only found a few video files it couldent play right
[06:03] <ljlolel> sudo apt-get install vlc
[06:04] <Dr_Willis> !info vlc
[06:04] <ubotu> vlc: (multimedia player for all audio and video formats), section universe/graphics, is optional. Version: 0.8.4-svn20050920-3+hal0ubuntu3 (breezy), Packaged size: 5817 kB, Installed size: 13740 kB
[06:04] <cr1mson> vlc is installed, i just cant find it
[06:04] <cr1mson> the executable
[06:04] <ljlolel> oh
[06:04] <Dr_Willis> type 'vlc' :P
[06:04] <MickMcMack> Type vlc.
[06:04] <ljlolel> it's in my sound&video menu
[06:04] <bjv> if anyone knows how to read ppp.log  :\
[06:04] <Dr_Willis> or i right click on the video and select open with. (or whatever its called)
[06:04] <ljlolel> you can edit the menu to add vlc, the command is vlc as people said
[06:04] <Dr_Willis> since often they default to totem.
[06:04] <cr1mson> oh hehe, how can i run it by default for media files?
[06:05] <ejofee> why can't i find glade-sharp in any repo?
[06:05] <Dr_Willis> cr1mson,  i find it easier to use the 'open with' menu thing - some videos often run better in the different players.
[06:05] <fr500> cr1mson, right click and properties, there is an associations part i think
[06:06] <talios> hey cr1mson
[06:06] <cr1mson> talios, yeah?
[06:06] <koruptidPryde> great... the one night I'm on where nobody has an idea
[06:07] <lysis_> what's wrong korpios
[06:07] <lysis_> koruptidPryde,
[06:07] <gahan> hi
[06:07] <gahan> ubuntu is divided to stable and unstable?
[06:07] <lysis_> gahan, correct.
[06:07] <talios> cr1mson, ewps my bad, crimsun :)
[06:07] <lysis_> we obviously will recommend going the stable route. =)
[06:07] <cr1mson> Dr_Willis, open with thing will be okay, how do i use vlc to do that for .asx
[06:07] <gahan> stable is Breezy - 5.10 afaik, how about unstable? whats the codename, does it have any ver already?
[06:08] <koruptidPryde> lysis_: I was changing some settings for my theme... picked the wrong widget selection (can't remember what the actual name for what it is is called) and now if I start any application that uses scrollbars it instantly crashes
[06:08] <Dr_Willis> cr1mson,  could always run vlc and drag/drop :p
[06:08] <Dr_Willis> cr1mson,  i dont think i have a single .asx video file
[06:08] <tonyyarusso> !tell gahan about dapper
[06:08] <Doomhammer> why is it that running "artsdsp -m <some program>" creates a MASSIVE amount of lag in the sound ?
[06:08] <Doomhammer> i actually hear the sound several seconds after it's supposed to be played
[06:08] <RockyBurt|Zzz> hm, whats the default cpu frequency manager for breezy badger? powernowd? cpudynd?
[06:08] <cr1mson> Dr_Willis, if vlc plays .asx files then i could associate it?
[06:09] <gahan> thank you
[06:09] <alpha> which program will get me the same video quality as media player but for linux?
[06:09] <Dr_Willis> cr1mson,  of course. :P this is linux.. ya cn do anything.
[06:09] <Doomhammer> alpha: for playing any type of media, i reccommend VLC
[06:09] <cr1mson> Dr_Willis, i know i love it... about the associate thing... how?
[06:09] <alpha> Doomhammer, what about VLCs GUI.. is that "good"?
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> cr1mson,  no clue. i rarely double click on things like that to run stuff.
[06:10] <Doomhammer> alpha: it's pretty easy to use, but it's not quite as flashy (and, in my opinion, ugly) as Media Player
[06:10] <ejofee> why can't i find glade-sharp in any repo?
[06:10] <Mevagh> hi, is there a limited number of partitions i can have on my sata drive? i couldn't make more than 4 primary parts with gparted and couldn't figure out how to make an extended part. then i tried with disk drake and made more parts but now in the ubuntu installer, i can't see the partition table at all ???
[06:10] <cr1mson> im trying to play a stream from the web, all i know its a .asx windows media file
[06:10] <Elsan_> Does anyone have internet here?
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> as for vlc's gui.. ya start a video hit full screen and watch it. :P  heh ...
[06:10] <Elsan_> :D
[06:10] <TokenBad> anyone know how to get xchat to autoget dcc files?
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> actually the vlc interface is ok.. and its themeable.
[06:10] <Dr_Willis> also vlc is out for windows. so ya can use it on a windows box as well.
[06:10] <Doomhammer> alpha: it's pretty small, around 10MB ... try it, and see what you think :)
[06:10] <ejofee> Mevagh: do you still see them in diskdrake?
[06:11] <Doomhammer> vlc rocks :)
[06:11] <tonyyarusso> Mevagh, I think you might be limited to 4 primary.  Try making logicals.
[06:11] <ljlolel> alpha, vlc looks pretty nice on windows
[06:11] <cr1mson> Dr_Willis, im trying to breakaway from windows :)
[06:11] <Dr_Willis> and stream the videos from one vlc box to another
[06:11] <cr1mson> Dr_Willis, it works with windows
[06:11] <Doomhammer> Dr_Willis: assuming you're on a LAN, that wouldn't work over dialup lol
[06:11] <Refrie1> ljlolel: a dead sun website cached in google told me to run bonobo-slay, and then i could log in again
[06:11] <cr1mson> dialup.. eewwww
[06:11] <Doomhammer> lol
[06:12] <Refrie1> i hope it doesn't happen next boot
[06:12] <cappicard> Dr_Willis: vlc is flaky on my XP installation. It causes my box to spontaneously reobot
[06:12] <alpha> Doomhammer, how do i download it? i tried the apt-get method but it gives me an error
[06:12] <lightdifference> hi, I kinda forgot to run the breezy update with sudo, what will that do? do I need to rerun it?
[06:12] <mark_> how do i enable tv out for an ati 128 rage pro card?
[06:12] <carmen_> hello
[06:12] <cr1mson> Dr_Willis, its a hypertext link i click on to open the file
[06:12] <tonyyarusso> How can I make mplayer actually go fullscreen, rather than making the window bigger while keeping the video the same?
[06:12] <Mevagh> tonyyarusso, can i install onto logicals? (ie. use them as / ) and how do i make them?
[06:12] <cappicard> tonyyarusso: just hit F
[06:12] <ejofee> Mevagh: afaik: (1) you can create up to four physical partitions (of which one could be the extended one). (2) you can create up to 32 logical partitions on the extended partition.
[06:13] <cappicard> Mevagh: I got linux purring on logical partitions
[06:13] <tonyyarusso> cappicard, That does what I don't want.
[06:13] <cr1mson> i guess i can type in the entire link with vlc if that works
[06:13] <tonyyarusso> Mevagh, Probably.
[06:13] <carmen_> I have a laptop. how do I get the infrared configured?
[06:13] <lightdifference> will not running the installer with sudo do anything strange?
[06:13] <Mevagh> alrighty.. how do i do logical then??
[06:13] <Refrie1> cappicard: "now how do i get it out of full screen?  i can't see you"
[06:14] <ejofee> Mevagh: you can install gnu-linux on logicals. you can't install bsd or windows, though. that is, it is not likely it would ever boot.
[06:14] <cappicard> Refrie1: LOL
[06:14] <Refrie1> :)
[06:14] <cappicard> ejofee: Linux boots just fine on logical partitions.
[06:14] <alpha> How do i get more skins for VLC?
[06:14] <fr500> lightdifference, probably wont install
[06:14] <cappicard> linux is not as picky as BSD
[06:15] <fr500> is there anything like finale for music composition for linux systems
[06:15] <cappicard> I know BSD refuses to install on logical partitions
[06:15] <fr500> gnome based
[06:15] <ejofee> cappicard: this is just what i was saying.
[06:15] <Refrie1> what's the fastest way to fix grub after my upcoming install of windows, ubuntu cd, chroot, and rerun it?
[06:15] <tonyyarusso> !tell Refrie1 about grub
[06:15] <Mevagh> ejofee, good.. i'll only be using logical for linux, if i need windows it'll be staying on a separate drive anyway.
[06:15] <yatesy> Refrie1: pretty much yup
[06:15] <Mevagh> but how do i make an extended partition? which program should i use?
[06:16] <lightdifference> fr500: it's installing, I'm just seeing "couldn't delete old directory" and stuff like that pop up.
[06:16] <ejofee> Mevagh: gparted
[06:16] <cr1mson> Dr_Willis, i opened the .asx file its just choppy and no video but the time length of the video is correct
[06:16] <nick_> Release keys to continue! :((((
[06:16] <koruptidPryde> does anyone know how to change the gnome controls selection via command-line?
[06:17] <ejofee> Mevagh: "sudo gparted", of course.
[06:17] <ejofee> Mevagh: (supposing you're using standard (k)ubuntu)
[06:17] <fr500> koruptidPryde, maybe there is .gnomesoemthing file man
[06:17] <koruptidPryde> fr500: I've been looking
[06:17] <TokenBad> anyone know how to get xchat to auto accept dcc files?
[06:18] <koruptidPryde> fr500: but none of them seem to have what I am looking for
[06:18] <fr500> hmmm
[06:18] <WednesDaY> hello
[06:18] <Mevagh> ejofee, yep.. i will be. no OS installed atm tho. will have to run a live cd
[06:18] <cr1mson> it sounds like im fast forwarding an audio tape
[06:18] <cr1mson> :(
[06:19] <carmen_> I have a laptop. how do I get the infrared configured?
[06:19] <fr500> cr1mson, honestly i'd install xine, totem-xine and w32codecs
[06:19] <cappicard> http://saiya-jin.is-a-geek.com/fstab  :)
[06:19] <ejofee> use (k)ubuntu live, then. you can also use mandriva live or pclinuxos, if you prefer diskdrake.
[06:19] <cappicard> I use mplayer with w32codecs here
[06:19] <cr1mson> fr500, thanks, i'll try that
[06:19] <alpha> How can i install VLC skins?
[06:20] <twitch101> whats the command to instal a /deb file
[06:20] <twitch101> *.deb
[06:20] <WednesDaY> can someone help me with a video card problem?
[06:20] <alpha> dpkg -i <deb file>
[06:20] <WednesDaY> well actually i had an idea and waswondering if someone knew if it would work
[06:20] <fr500> WednesDaY, just ask
[06:20] <dcode> so I'm running Kubuntu dapper, and when I load kde from KDM, I don't have use of my keybard after the splash says "Initializing Window Manager"...any clues what could cause this?
[06:20] <dcode> *keyboard
[06:20] <WednesDaY> alrighty, thanks
[06:21] <Mevagh> thanks for ur help... i'll be back later if i'm still haveing trouble
[06:21] <ejofee> Mevagh: use (k)ubuntu live, then. you can also use mandriva live or pclinuxos, if you prefer diskdrake.
[06:21] <cr1mson> sounds like a real mouse lol
[06:21] <Wes> hey pplz
[06:21] <WednesDaY> see i have a sapphire radeon 9550 and a biostar m7ncd pro that uses the nforce 2 chipset right
[06:21] <ljlolel> alpha, it looks like you run vlc -I skins
[06:21] <ljlolel> alpha, after downloading the skins fro here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/skins.html
[06:21] <ljlolel> instructions are there too
[06:22] <WednesDaY> well the radeon would never work in that board, but would work in everything else, and other cards would work in it, etc, it turned out the 9550 i have isnt compatible with the nforce 2 right
[06:22] <cr1mson> fr500, whats the apt-get install command for xine?
[06:22] <adub> mozilla is not letting me use it because it says profile default is already in use??  what can i do??
[06:22] <WednesDaY> well iw as wondering if flashing my 9550 to a 9600 would fix that incompatibility?
[06:22] <nick_> How come my computer cannot even initialize ubuntu from the live cd goddamnit
[06:22] <cr1mson> fr500, xine doesnt work :(
[06:22] <fr500> cr1mson, why?
[06:22] <ljlolel> nick_, did you set the bios to boot from cds?
[06:23] <nick_> Well, I get the ubuntu start up screen and everything.
[06:23] <elektro> WTF, a "WES" in Tampa, FL?!!!
[06:23] <cr1mson> fr500, it says Package xine is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[06:23] <fr500> cr1mson, try apt-get install totem-xine it will fetch the rest for you
[06:23] <cr1mson> fr500, ok
[06:23] <nick_> it just stops completely after it says "RELEASE KEYS TO CONTINUE!"
[06:23] <Wes> lol bots
[06:23] <ljlolel> weird
[06:23] <Wes> hey, I'm having some issues getting ubuntu booted up on my system
[06:24] <_ian_> this is weird...when i logged in just now.... my rersolution is at 640X 480 and it is not pleasant....i went to the display setting but it is the only option available why is this?
[06:24] <nick_> hey I fail at the internet.
[06:24] <alpha> ljlolel, thx mate
[06:24] <hyphenated> hmm, for touchpad sensitivity, I installed tpconfig and edited /etc/default/tpconfig to have OPTIONS="--tapmode=0" as the setting there. seems to be better now
[06:24] <Wes> mainly, after I log in the ubuntu loading screen thingy glitches up and loading stops
[06:24] <Wes> the cursor doesn't, though
[06:24] <Wes> kinda strange :/
[06:24] <ljlolel> alexandros, here to help
[06:24] <ljlolel> alpha,
[06:25] <bjv> if anyone speaks ppp.log fluently :\
[06:25] <elektro> I know some1 named Wes in that aread
[06:25] <elektro> area*
[06:25] <cr1mson> fr500, i ran into a problem with totem, its telling me there were no decoders.  i had the same problem with .mp3 files earlier but thankfully, i fixed that one
[06:25] <fr500> cr1mson, you need w32codecs
[06:26] <Wes> I'm not exactly in Tampa
[06:26] <elektro> i c
[06:26] <fr500> !tell cr1mson about w32codecs
[06:26] <Wes> over in pinellas
[06:26] <Xenguy> bjv: weird error
[06:26] <cr1mson> fr500, i'll try the codecs
[06:26] <ljlolel> brianna satinoff
[06:26] <elektro> Did u ever do phone tech support?
[06:26] <Xenguy> bjv: have you tried google? (not sure it would be an easy search tho)
[06:26] <bjv> Xenguy: yeah, ive been searching for it
[06:27] <WednesDaY> well yeah, i was thinking that might work....the 9600's work on this board i think, but not the 9550....
[06:27] <Wes> nah
[06:27] <WednesDaY> id like to use the good board sine i got 2 sticks of 512 now and can do dual channel
[06:27] <bjv> Xenguy:  got a fair ammount of results with   sent LCP ConfReq  "last message repeated" 9 "times"    on yahoo
[06:27] <Xenguy> bjv: you probably need an advanced search of some kind.  Maybe your ISP could help too?
[06:27] <WednesDaY> this board is ancient and has like usb 1, agp 4, etc....thats what im stuck on now
[06:27] <Doomhammer> how do you start arts from the command line ?
[06:27] <eugman> Will reinstalling a package clear my previous settings?
[06:28] <bjv> Xenguy: well, it's late on a weekend.  i will definitely be asking them come monday
[06:28] <cr1mson> fr500, that says can play windows media video.. that sounds promising
[06:28] <fr500> it works fine 4 me
[06:28] <ljlolel> eugman, no
[06:28] <Xenguy> bjv: good luck; these things always get solved eventually, just a matter of time
[06:28] <ljlolel> eugman, not usually
[06:28] <eugman> Even if the package manage thinks it's installing for the first time?
[06:29] <dcode> so I'm running Kubuntu dapper, and when I load kde from KDM, I don't have use of my keyboard after the splash says "Initializing Window Manager"...any clues what could cause this?
[06:29] <ljlolel> eugman, when you uninstall it leaves config files, which it won't overwrite without asking you
[06:29] <bjv> Xenguy: yeah, im trying to stick too it. :|
[06:29] <mgcross> is the english ubuntu forum down...I can't reach it....
[06:29] <bjv> Xenguy: the connection is dialed right now through a windows machine
[06:29] <bjv> Xenguy: id really like to pitch it out though, and concentrate my wireless gateways and ppp on one box
[06:29] <ljlolel> mgcross, look at the top
[06:30] <WednesDaY> well um....can someone recommend me an IRC room that would help me with my video card?
[06:30] <Xenguy> bjv: linux makes a better gateway IMO
[06:30] <bjv> yeah, and it's kind of silly to use an entire windows 2000 server just to operate a winmodem :\
[06:30] <mgcross> ljlolel: sorry.....
[06:30] <nyersa> WednesDaY: whats going on with it?
[06:30] <eugman> ok. Now the packages are installed but synaptic doesn't know that. It will only overwrite files needed to run not config files correct?
[06:31] <ljlolel> mgcross, lol  it's okay, i barely saw it myself :)
[06:31] <WednesDaY> well this card doesnt work with my nforce 2 board and id like to use the nforce board....this one is crap, but its incompatible with 9550's, i was wondering if flashing my card to a 9600 would fix the incompatibility
[06:33] <elektro> Wed, u want to flash the VIdeo card to different model to make it work with the Mobo?
[06:33] <KoruptidPryde> anybody know how to change the gnome theme without gnome-theme-manager? I accidentally picked a set of broken controls and now I can't run any applications that have scrollbars in them
[06:33] <nyersa> WednesDaY: if you disable onboard video does it make it work?
[06:33] <fr500> cr1mson, works?
[06:34] <WednesDaY> the good nforce board doesnt have onboard....yes, a lot of people flash the 9550 to overclock it since all 9550 is is a scaled down 9600
[06:34] <WednesDaY> i was wondering it flashing it to a 9600 would get it to be compatible on the nforce 2
[06:34] <cr1mson> fr500, not yet, i followed the directions on that website and it says the files are installed, now what
[06:34] <bjv> Xenguy: !    yahoo indicates that the problem may be the line where i sent  '^m'
[06:34] <fr500> cr1mson, open the file with totem-xine
[06:34] <bjv> Xenguy: i do not know enough about ppp though, do you know where i could find and eliminate that line?
[06:34] <fr500> cr1mson, did you dpkg the deb?
[06:35] <cr1mson> fr500, yes
[06:35] <fr500> bjv, you can't skip LCPs
[06:35] <olrs> hey all, having a problem with the ubuntu 5.10 LiveCD, anyone got a sec to help me out?

[06:41] <bosewicht> anyone know where ubuntu installs imagemagick?
[06:42] <ljlolel> _ian_, somewhere down it shoud list all of the resolutions the monitor should be able to get
[06:42] <ljlolel> it seems like yours has been limited to only 640x480
[06:42] <pder> is it necessary to have a computer to use ubuntu?

[06:43] <ljlolel> _ian_, hm that's really weird
[06:43] <cr1mson> fr500, me too, now i need it to automatically open when i launch it from the browser, i had to manually open it
[06:43] <ljlolel> _ian_, and restarting gnome doesn't work?
[06:43] <cr1mson> fr500, xine wasnt an option
[06:43] <_ian_> im sorry but honestly i cant understand it...
[06:44] <_ian_> wait...im uysing kde
[06:44] <fr500> cr1mson, it should be under associations just right clic the file properties and create a custom command that reads xine
[06:44] <_ian_> im on kde*
[06:44] <cr1mson> fr5 okay
[06:44] <ljlolel> _ian_, oh, restarting kde or your computer entirely didn't work?
[06:44] <elektro> I have a question, to update from Hoary to Breezy, can I use Synaptic or do I need to get the CD images?

[06:45] <elektro> fr500 thanks
[06:45] <cr1mson> fr500, file properties of the asx file?
[06:46] <fr500> yes
[06:46] <cr1mson> fr500, i did that and when i launch it the only option on there was mplayer
[06:46] <fr500> but there is a custom command part below
[06:46] <cr1mson> fr500, ill look
[06:47] <cr1mson> fr500, im lost, it says custom icon
[06:47] <onlywil> does kubuntu support multi processor?
[06:47] <WednesDaY> man
[06:48] <fr500> cr1mson, properties open with-add-custom command?
[06:48] <WednesDaY> i wonder if i should just try this
[06:48] <WednesDaY> and see what happens
[06:48] <bjv> well if anyone can see what is awry with my ppp log, http://sial.org/pbot/15551  send /msg bjv or something
[06:48] <pder> does ubuntu support input devices?
[06:48] <bjv> ill stay connected for another few minutes, on the off chance a ppp guru or something wanders by. :\
[06:48] <bjv> then it's back to randomly trying the modem... :\
[06:48] <onlywil> i have a proliant ml370 server and it only shows one processor how do i get it to see both
[06:48] <hepmeeee> after I log in, the graphics on the loading screen glitch up and the environment stops loading. I can still use the mouse though. Any ideas about how to fix this?
[06:49] <fr500> bjv, try #linux
[06:49] <cr1mson> fr500, properties off the downloaded .asx file i downloaded to the desktop
[06:49] <bjv> fr500: asked abit there, they were pretty off topic/dead
[06:49] <cr1mson> fr500, firefox obviously doesnt recongize it
[06:50] <bjv> also tried ##networking and #hardware :P
[06:50] <onlywil> still wondering if kubuntu support multi processor
[06:50] <fr500> cr1mson, yes properties of the downloaded file
