[04:20] <easytiger> on windows that would be a getting drivers job
[04:21] <easytiger> kind of simplicity that you can't (literally) pay for
[04:21] <hydoskee> anto9us: done, and no luck
[04:22] <anto9us> hydoskee, process isn't running?
[04:22] <samuel> I have installed so many packages and it's still fast as!
[04:22] <hydoskee> anto9us: correct
 well the main issue with windows is the linear performance degradation with standard use
[04:23] <THX-1138> What is with the windows hardware wizard that always comes up empty for drivers? - Has synaptic been ported over to the M$ OS yet?
[04:23] <ricanelite> anyone here uses MOL??
[04:23] <easytiger> we call it "poor software design"
[04:23] <wastrel> what's MOL?
[04:23] <tritium> mounds of lubricant
[04:23] <anto9us> hydoskee, you sharing with remote desktop preferences?
[04:24] <breakdecks> can anyone help me.  I am out of disk space and I cannont log into my computer.  How do I free up disk space?  I tried deleting some files, but it didn't actally free up any space.
[04:24] <hydoskee> anto9us, no, vncserver on command line
[04:24] <anto9us> hydoskee, check its log
[04:24] <tritium> breakdecks: sudo apt-get clean
[04:24] <samuel> The world needs to know about ubuntu, I am going to install it on my grandmas PC! no more fixing her XP box
[04:24] <hydoskee> anto9us, I'm not looged into gnome on the box
[04:24] <hydoskee> anto9us where would it be
[04:24] <breakdecks> tritium:  did that, no dice
[04:24] <elriah> Hi all.  Is it possible to install Ubuntu Server 6.06 from a USB key as I did with Debian?
[04:25] <warlock> What's the command to copy everything in /home/cs1/ to /home/cs2/ ?
[04:25] <easytiger> i put it on my girlfriends pc.
[04:25] <anto9us> hydoskee, ~/.vnc/<host>:2.log
[04:25] <elriah> cp -R /home/cs1/ /home/cs2/
[04:25] <warlock> k
[04:25] <anto9us> hydoskee, it should tell you when the vnc server starts
[04:25] <THX-1138> breakdecks: Are there any files in /var/cache/apt/archive you don't want?
[04:25] <hydoskee> anto9us: Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'
[04:25] <warlock> no that doesn't work elriah, it copys the DIR /cs1/ to /home/cs2/
[04:26] <warlock> I want everything in /home/cs1/ to be copied to /home/cs2/
[04:26] <tritium> THX-1138: apt-get clean should have removed them
[04:26] <anto9us> hydoskee, there's an X server installed on the machine?
[04:26] <hydoskee> anto9us:yes
[04:26] <THX-1138> tritium - that would do it. - didn't see it.
[04:26] <winterweaver> Hi there happy ubupeeps ^.^
[04:27] <winterweaver> I have a trick question....
[04:27] <warlock> anyone..?
[04:27] <winterweaver> how do I know if I have the 64-bit stuff installed for my box?
[04:27] <winterweaver> << newb
[04:27] <anto9us> hydoskee, no such file on my system, vncserver works ok though
[04:28] <hydoskee> anto9us: I installed it through apt-get, so is there something else I need to do?
[04:28] <Flannel> winterweaver: what's the output of uname -a
[04:28] <winterweaver> Linux smoenux0 2.6.15-27-386 #1 PREEMPT Sat Sep 16 01:51:59 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[04:29] <Flannel> winterweaver: you're running 32bit
[04:29] <tritium> winterweaver: you don't
[04:29] <gbutler69> Any thoughts on where I could/should ask the following question: Is it possible to run old Linux binaries (compiled for 2.4 kernel on RH 7.1) in some sort of chroot environment with a private libc etc on Ubuntu 6.06/6.10 with the 2.6.xx kernel?
[04:29] <winterweaver> flannel, cewl, how do you know that from the text?
[04:30] <warlock> What's the command to copy everything in /home/cs1/ to /home/cs2/ ?
[04:30] <wastrel> !chroot
[04:30] <ubotu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[04:30] <Flannel> winterweaver: i386
[04:30] <elriah> gbutler: Not really.  Got source?
[04:30] <wickedpuppy> winterweaver, can you see i686 ???
[04:30] <tritium> !repeat > warlock
[04:30] <Flannel> winterweaver: er, and the 686 stuff
[04:30] <winterweaver> lol
[04:30] <warlock> then can someone just gave me a answer for it? :P
[04:30] <winterweaver> hey... did I mention ... newb :P
[04:31] <anto9us> hydoskee, this should help, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH
[04:31] <elriah> warlock: cp -R /home/cs1/* /home/cs2/
[04:31] <elriah> Make sure /home/cs2/ exists first.
[04:31] <warlock> It does
[04:31] <warlock> gonna try again
[04:31] <tritium> warlock: somebody already had much earlier (scroll up)
[04:31] <gbutler69> elriah: No. No source. Proprietary (but necessary) application that can't currently be replaced.
[04:31] <Flannel> winterweaver: also, you installed from the i386 disk, instead of the 64bit one, that too would tell you ;)
[04:32] <tritium> gbutler69: yes, we know, Franhaufer's mp3 encoder
[04:32] <elriah> hrm... vmware?  Or just maintain a redhat 7 box... dunno..
[04:32] <elriah> It's the kernel that's gonna kill the libs.. your chroot idea will work with running-kernel compatabile libs...
[04:32] <winterweaver> Flannel, hmmm... does this mean, that if I want to install 64bit, I need to install from a 686 disk? Or can I just install the packages on my current system?
[04:32] <gbutler69> No, actually it's "Progress 4GL/DB" a proprietary VM/Database for "Enterprise" (yeah right) applications....
[04:33] <warlock> tritium - and if you read it didn't work.
[04:33] <wickedpuppy> winterweaver, 686 isn't 64 bit ...
[04:33] <winterweaver> now I'm confused <.>
[04:33] <wickedpuppy> winterweaver, to install 64 bit , you need 64 bit install cd ... is it confusing ?
[04:34] <gbutler69> What about Xen? Qemu? VMWare? Other? Run, RH 7.1 "in" a Hyper-vised VM under Ubuntu? Which is the better option to try?
[04:34] <winterweaver> nah... 64 bit install CD I understand :)
[04:34] <elriah> gbutler: I like vmware myself, but everybody has an opionion...
[04:34] <elriah> opinion
[04:34] <Flannel> winterweaver: if you want 64bit, you need the 64bit installer (which is NOT 686, by the way)
[04:34] <wickedpuppy> winterweaver, then look at your question above ... Flannel, hmmm... does this mean, that if I want to install 64bit, I need to install from a 686 disk?
[04:34] <winterweaver> ok... soo, i386 and i686 is 32 bit
[04:34] <elriah> winterweaver: You have a 64-bit CPU, right?
[04:34] <winterweaver> yeah
[04:35] <hydoskee> anto9us: that page has everything I knew already about this
[04:35] <hydoskee> anto9us, thee was no troubleshooting aspect
[04:35] <elriah> Yes, 64-bit arch will be x64 or EMT64 or AMD64
[04:35] <anto9us> hydoskee, you may have better success with tightvncserver
[04:35] <winterweaver> elriah, aaah... ok thankx
[04:35] <elriah> x86 (386, 686) are 32-bit
[04:36] <ssAmmuel> does anyone know the package for VmWare on ubuntu so i can create them not just play them?
[04:36] <winterweaver> hmm... my whole system is quite nicely set up, is it worth getting the 64-bit install?
[04:36] <fouressence> halloo, I'm moderately new to Ubuntu (and really Linux for that matter), and am trying to install gtk from source.  I think I've missed something when installing glib or pkg-config, because when I try to ./configure atk, it tells me that there is a conflict with the reported version of glib and the version pk-config knows about.  Does anyone have any experience with this?
[04:36] <elriah> ssAmmuel: You can download vmware server free if I'm not mistaken from vmware.com.. it's easy to install..
[04:36] <salami> Hello
[04:37] <ssAmmuel> ta
[04:37] <hydoskee> anto9us: didn't work any better, just more thorough output
[04:37] <hydoskee> anto9us: Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'
[04:37] <hydoskee> MAXSOCKS=1000
[04:37] <elriah> winterweaver: Depends on what you're trying to do with the 64-bit stuff...  But if you're not using something that specific to 64-bit, you won't notice much difference ...
[04:39] <winterweaver> elriah, well, I'm running CEDEGA, mainly for playing Guild Wars, but GW runs exceptionally slow, and the text is all mangled. So I was thinking, it might be because I have a 32 bit install...
[04:39] <tmdx120> Hi everyone quick quesion. I just downloaded a file. I unpacked it and now I have no idea how to install it. can anyone help?
[04:39] <wickedpuppy> tmdx120, what file ?
[04:39] <salami> ?
[04:40] <[AvatarX] > Anon32, It worked!!! I changed the listen address at /etc/privoxy/conf
[04:40] <cyber_brain_mfkg> ok! is there any other win emulator beside wine?
[04:40] <[AvatarX] > now I can share my connection..
[04:40] <tmdx120> wickedpuppy, citrix client
[04:40] <gbutler69> What about Qemu? Anyone have experience with it?
[04:40] <[AvatarX] > thanks!
[04:40] <wickedpuppy> cedega ..
[04:40] <Flannel> winterweaver: nah, not really.  And you'll have lots of problems with stuff like wine/flash/etc on 64bit systems.
[04:40] <[AvatarX] > Anyone here using Ubuntu64 and Folding@home?
[04:40] <wickedpuppy> tmdx120, ah k ... i install it before .. full name of the file pls .. btw check if it is in repo yet ?
[04:40] <tmdx120> wickedpuppy, its supposed to let me set up a remote server.
[04:40] <dailyinvent> I'm having some issues with my wireless network card.
[04:40] <cyber_brain_mfkg> wickedpuppy: can i find it in ubuntu repositories?
[04:41] <elriah> winterweaver: You won't see any performance boost.. it actually may run slower... You would need a 64-bit cedega (don't know if it even exists) but more importantly you would need 64-bit games and there aren't any (or many) for the PC.
[04:41] <THX-1138> winterweaver - similar problem with text in half-life 2 and World of warcraft. - reducing color depth and refreshing the color depth when text is corrupted helps. in WoW turn off "UI Scale"
[04:41] <wickedpuppy> cyber_brain_mfkg, cedega ? no you got to download it i think
[04:41] <tmdx120> wickedpuppy, something LIKE citrix is it it. Should I give that a try first?
[04:41] <dailyinvent> It's finding the card and ndiswrapper says its installed
[04:41] <anto9us> hydoskee, did you do the fontpath stuff that the wiki recommends?
[04:41] <hydoskee> anto9us: any thoughts beyond tightvncserver?
[04:41] <hydoskee> anto9us, I get less errors when I delete it
[04:41] <wickedpuppy> tmdx120, you mean try searchin ? yes always do that first pls
[04:41] <ubuntu__> opera comes with many different packages for different distros, which one do I pick? ubuntu is not on the list
[04:41] <winterweaver> wow thanks guys !!
[04:41] <hydoskee> anto9us, I did it, but it just threw more errors
[04:41] <MrKeuner> is it really coming out on 26th?
[04:42] <fouressence> I'm moderately new to Ubuntu (and really Linux for that matter), and am trying to install gtk from source.  I think I've missed something when installing glib or pkg-config, because when I try to ./configure atk, it tells me that there is a conflict with the reported version of glib and the version pk-config knows about.  Does anyone have any experience with this?
[04:42] <ubuntu__> btw, the site is auto selecting Xaero for me
[04:42] <THX-1138> winterweaver: as far as i know it isn't a 32/64 library issue it is something to do with the VBO extension in xorg.
[04:42] <hmm> why does freeciv suck so badly ?
[04:42] <tritium> ubuntu__: opera is available in the ubuntu repos
[04:42] <tritium> (commercial)
[04:42] <cd32fan> relp i cant reconfigure my xserver-org
[04:42] <cd32fan> please relp
[04:42] <tritium> cd32fan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg doesn't work?
[04:43] <cd32fan> it says that it isnt installed
[04:43] <J-_> !splash
[04:43] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, open the gconf-editor and change the key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash-image.
[04:43] <cd32fan> :(
[04:43] <cyber_brain_mfkg> wickedpuppy: is there big diference between these two emulators?
[04:43] <winterweaver> Flannel, Eelriah, THX-1138: Thanx for the help guys!! I'll get on the cedega forums to try and sort out my gaming issues, and I'll stick to 32-bit then ^_^
[04:43] <MrKeuner> ubuntu__: I cannot appreciate the like that likes opera as a browser
[04:43] <ubuntu_> what
[04:43] <tritium> cd32fan: did you do a server install, or what?
[04:43] <wickedpuppy> cyber_brain_mfkg, cedega is commercialised wine ... google for it pls
[04:43] <anto9us> hydoskee, apt-get install x11vnc and try again

[04:44] <wickedpuppy> tmdx120, then pls tell me the exact file name that you downloaded pls
[04:44] <tritium> cd32fan: I need to know exactly what the error is,
[04:44] <cd32fan> all this happened because i tried to use the ATI drivers
[04:45] <cd32fan> i made a backup
[04:45] <lanteau> any idea why I would get: dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/lvm2_2.02.02-1ubuntu1_i386.deb (--unpack): subprocess pre-installation script returned error exit status 10
[04:45] <cd32fan> but i dont know how to put it back

[04:45] <tmdx120> wickedpuppy,  how do I get citrix to work? I have an file with an executable that I extracted called echo_cmd
[04:45] <bob_harris> does anybody have any experience with digital cameras and ubuntu?
[04:45] <rmd_> is there a way to dual-boot Ubuntu with windows xp w/o making my Dell Restoration partition disappear?
[04:45] <MrKeuner> lanteau: you have to check the preinstallation script
[04:45] <elriah> Loved my Amigas, ahhh the good ole' days.
[04:46] <lanteau> MrKeuner: how do I do this?
[04:46] <wickedpuppy> tmdx120, exact file name that you downloaded pls ? and does it have INSTALL or README inside ?
[04:46] <MrKeuner> extract the deb package somewhere and check the preinst script inside
[04:46] <cd32fan> 1 sec
[04:46] <tmdx120> wickedpuppy, yes it has a readme the file is called linuxx86.cor
[04:46] <wickedpuppy> cor ?
[04:46] <dailyinvent> Does anone have experience with configuring atheros wireless cards in linux?
[04:47] <[AvatarX] > Anyone here using Ubuntu64 and Folding@home?
[04:47] <lanteau> MrKeuner: I extracted it, where would the preinst script me?
[04:47] <lanteau> be*
[04:47] <fouressence> In trying to compile/install gtk and all its dependencies, I've encountered a problem (without any doubt, mine): I run ./configure on atk, and it spits out this error (some parts cut out to make this shorter):  GLIB 2.5.7 or better is required. ... If GLIB is installed but not in the same location as pkg-config add the location of the file glib-2.0.pc to the environment variable PKG_CONFIG_PATH.
[04:47] <cd32fan> tritium:xserver-org aint installed apparently
[04:47] <MrKeuner> find . -name pre*
[04:47] <fouressence> Has anyone else had this problem/can help?
[04:47] <elriah> Does MySQL 5 and PHP5 install by default with 6.06 server?
[04:47] <tritium> fouressence: why not intsall the gtk -dev packages?
[04:47] <cd32fan> what can i do?
[04:47] <tritium> cd32fan: are you sure?  what makes you say this?
[04:48] <hydoskee> anto9us, any other ideas?
[04:48] <tmdx120> wickedpuppy, intall says "o install the Citrix ICA Client for Unix run the setupwfc script and
[04:48] <tmdx120> follow the on-screen prompts. The default installation location is
[04:48] <tmdx120> /usr/lib/ICAClient for installation by the superuser, otherwise
[04:48] <tmdx120> $HOME/ICAClient/$OS, but this can be changed during installation. "
[04:48] <lanteau> MrKeuner: nothing
[04:48] <wickedpuppy> pls do not paste here tmdx120
[04:48] <fouressence> tritium: what's the specific name of the package for apt-get ?
[04:48] <elriah> Does the full ubuntu gui come with ubuntu server 6.06?
[04:48] <lanteau> MrKeuner: it made an etc, lib, and usr dir, and there is nothing like a pre install script in any of them
[04:48] <tmdx120> wickedpuppy, sorry
[04:48] <wickedpuppy> tmdx120, then why not do what it says ?
[04:48] <tonyyarusso> elriah: Not by default, but is easily added.
[04:48] <MrKeuner> lanteau: I canot help more, may be it has a special name. I really do not know packaging
[04:48] <warlock> How can I create an account that has the same access as a root account?
[04:48] <cd32fan> it says it doesnt have information about it,so it probably assumes it isnt installed?
[04:48] <tritium> fouressence: which package?
[04:48] <elriah> tonyyarusso: a virtual package?  know the name?
[04:49] <lanteau> MrKeuner: is there anyway I can like freeze lvm2 until it's fixed?
[04:49] <tonyyarusso> elriah: ubuntu-desktop
[04:49] <fouressence> well, the end result is that I want to install gtk.  So, to install gtk...
[04:49] <MrKeuner> lanteau: one of them is preinst script for sure
[04:49] <tmdx120> wicked, I dont know how to run the script! <---NEWBIE!!!
[04:49] <elriah> tnx
[04:49] <cd32fan> lets try something else
[04:49] <elriah> New to Ubuntu, we're switching everything from debian.  Does 6.06 use MySQL 5 and PHP5 by default?
[04:49] <wickedpuppy> tmdx120, sh setupwfc
[04:49] <wickedpuppy> try this
[04:50] <tritium> fouressence: try "apt-cache search libgtk | grep dev" to find it
[04:50] <cd32fan> how can i gain control
[04:50] <Flannel> elriah: yes
[04:50] <elriah> tnx
[04:50] <tritium> fouressence: you likely want libgtk2.0-dev ;)
[04:50] <cd32fan> it says i dont have console control
[04:50] <MrKeuner> lancetw: yeah in synaptibc select package/lock
[04:50] <Flannel> elriah: well, "default" isn't completely accurate, but yes, those are both in the repos
[04:50] <cd32fan> but i have logged in
[04:50] <cyber_brain_mfkg> !cedega
[04:50] <ubotu> cedega is a project based on wine, aimed at running windows games on Linux. For more info, see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/Cedega
[04:50] <MrKeuner> lanteau: but if upper version of lvm2 is required then it won't work
[04:50] <bob_harris> Has anybody experienced any issues with digital cameras and ubuntu?
[04:50] <elriah> Flannel: So if I choose the LAMP environment from the install what do I get for MySQL and PHP?
[04:50] <cd32fan> then when i try to reconfigure the xserver it says it isnt available
[04:51] <Flannel> elriah: 5 and 5
[04:51] <lanteau> MrKeuner: hmm, now this is something id expect to h appen on unstable, not stable
[04:51] <elriah> Cool.  Tnx.
[04:51] <MrKeuner> lanteau: you should not use universe and multiverse then
[04:51] <wastrel> bob_harris:  not me - ubuntu autodetects pretty well so far.
[04:51] <tritium> cd32fan: "apt-cache policy xserver-xorg" says what?
[04:51] <Solbe> I keep getting this error message E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. I try to do this but I get this sudo dpkg -configure -a
[04:51] <cd32fan> one sec
[04:51] <wastrel> bob_harris:  worst case scenario buy a card reader and use that instead of importing from the camera
[04:51] <lanteau> MrKeuner: ahh are they causing this issue?
[04:51] <MrKeuner> lanteau: universe is user contibution
[04:52] <AntriX> excellent! I'm now feeling pretty edgy!
[04:52] <MrKeuner> lancetw: multiverse is even worse
[04:52] <tritium> MrKeuner: not exactly
[04:52] <lanteau> MrKeuner: I enabled it to install Xubuntu, but I could probably disable it
[04:52] <rmd_> is there a way to install grub without losing my dell's ability to boot a restoration partition?
[04:52] <anto9us> hydoskee, I'm stuck I'm afraid
[04:52] <pianoboy3333> Is there a tango theme for gnometris?
[04:52] <fouressence> tritium: thanks. :)  Downloading now...  Still, I'm curious, is the problem with ./configure -ing atk something obvious?
[04:52] <bob_harris> wastrel: yes, the photos/usb camera drive is detected without an issue, but when it comes to deleting the photos, or copying photos it doesn't work so well
[04:52] <MrKeuner> lanteau: it is not universe or multiverse causing it
[04:52] <MrKeuner> it is a packeage in them
[04:52] <tritium> fouressence: not that I saw
[04:52] <Xaphoo> how do you restart x if it crashes?  Without rebooting the whole comp...
[04:52] <lanteau> MrKeuner:  I know
[04:53] <AntriX> ctrl+alt+backspace
[04:53] <bob_harris> wastrel: i tried to copy an image to the camera drive from ubuntu and the camera does not detect it as a picture
[04:53] <Xaphoo> thanks
[04:53] <wizard> I have installed kubuntu and it has been pretty unpleasent. I installed the nvidia drivers off the site, did everythig right... it'll load X after i install them, function great... Then when I reboot the system HANGS on the kubuntu splash and sits there until i resinstall the drivers again in single user mode.
[04:53] <iloivar> if it's down you can try sudo /etc/init.d/[gk] dm restart
[04:53] <MrKeuner> tritium: correct me please then
[04:53] <tritium> wizard: use ubuntu nvidia packages, not downloads from nvidia.com
[04:53] <tritium> !components > MrKeuner
[04:53] <cd32fan> tritium:it says installed
[04:53] <tritium> cd32fan: good
[04:53] <wizard> tritium: i've tried those too, and they won't even boot into X
[04:53] <lanteau> MrKeuner: the lvm2 package that is failing is out of dapper main though
[04:53] <fouressence> tritium: okee dokes, thanks!
[04:53] <wastrel> bob_harris:  perhaps the camera only recognizes pictures with specific pattern in the file name?
[04:53] <cd32fan> so whats next?
[04:53] <Solbe> I keep getting this error message E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. I try to do this but I get this sudo dpkg -configure -a
[04:54] <tritium> foglight: good luck
[04:54] <aSt3raL_> what kernel should i run on an amd semperon cpu?
[04:54] <tritium> Solbe: don't forget to use sudo with that
[04:54] <MrKeuner> lanteau: if it is part of main then you are right to cry
[04:54] <MrKeuner> lanteau: please report a bug
[04:54] <hydoskee> anto9us: any ideas for other places to go?
[04:54] <anto9us> hydoskee, is logging in and sharing the desktop not an option?
[04:54] <hydoskee> anto9us: not at all
[04:54] <tritium> cd32fan: I want to see the exact error please
[04:54] <lanteau> MrKeuner: hmm okay, Im browsing the forums now
[04:54] <Solbe> dpkg: unknown option -o Type dpkg --help for help about installing and deinstalling packages [*] ; Use `dselect' or `aptitude' for user-friendly package management; Type dpkg -Dhelp for a list of dpkg debug flag values; Type dpkg --force-help for a list of forcing options; Type dpkg-deb --help for help about manipulating *.deb files;Type dpkg --licence for copyright licence and lack of warranty (GNU GPL) [*] .Options marked [*]  produce a lot of output - pipe i
[04:55] <Antrixx> X seemed to cause a total kernel freeze on edgy... fixed it by booting failsafe and then doing another apt-get update apt-get upgrade (X related files were upgraded).. now it works =)
[04:55] <Antrixx> <3
[04:55] <hydoskee> anto9us: separate resolutions on the monitor configured with ubuntu and the one I want to use it with
[04:55] <cd32fan> tritium:the error of the failed reconfigured xserver,right?
[04:55] <bob_harris> wastrel: the pattern was consistent with the cameras format, and another time i selected "Move to Trash", all the photos from the camera and it erased them from being detected from the camera but they were still taking up space on the camera, but since the camera couldn't detect them they couldn't be deleted by the camera causing me a major issue
[04:55] <lanteau> MrKeuner: here could be the problem...ubuntu-standard isnt used anymore is it?
[04:55] <cd32fan> btw
[04:55] <cd32fan> its not in english
[04:55] <Solbe> I just listed, its not flooding just explaining..I am new to ubuntu obviously and not quite used its being a SUSE user..How do I dkpg?
[04:55] <wizard> i am trying, once again, to install the nvidia drivers through apt get... For some reason X will not even boot when done this way.
[04:55] <MrKeuner> lanteau: I do not even know what that might be
[04:55] <Solbe> tritium
[04:56] <anto9us> hydoskee, do you really need vnc? if you ssh -X you can forward X connections to render graphic apps locally
[04:56] <tmdx120> wicked, Ok, it worked. THANKS! now let me see if I can get the software to work!
[04:56] <Solbe> tritium:I did look at my message just keep getting the command and switch list
[04:56] <wickedpuppy> tmdx120, cheers ...
[04:56] <hydoskee> anto9us, unfortunately I've tried all the "almosts" and they're not acceptable
[04:56] <wastrel> bob_harris:  ah yes that is frustrating.  It's because ubuntu mounted the card in your camera as an external drive.  Gnome, being overly helpful, created a trash can on the drive and moved the images you deleted into it
[04:56] <tritium> Solbe: don't use the -o switch.  Use the -a switch
[04:57] <tritium> cd32fan: yes, let me see it.  Please use my nick so I see the hilight
[04:57] <wastrel> bob_harris:  i normally use the command line for file management ...  so haven't been too bothered by that problem.
[04:57] <wizard> okay i just installed the nvidia drivers via apt-get and when i went to restart kdm it still just sits on splash
[04:57] <tmdx120> wicked, doesnt work
[04:57] <cd32fan> tritium:/usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: xserver-org not installed
[04:57] <anto9us> hydoskee, maybe freenx is an alternative https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[04:58] <tritium> cd32fan: please run "sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg", then
[04:58] <warlock> How do I 'join' a screen session?
[04:58] <Xavier101> hydoskee, are you trying to do remote desktop?
[04:58] <tritium> warlock: screen -r
[04:58] <wickedpuppy> tmdx120, how did you try it ? pls give more info .. and pls my nick is wickedpuppy ... type wicked and press tab pls
[04:58] <Solbe> tritium:I did I used every possible combination listed and I keep getting the stupid list over and over again
[04:58] <bob_harris> wastrel: last issue is that i have 2 memory sticks, ubuntu detects the first one and i transfer all my files to the hard drive, than unplug and put in the second memory stick and ubuntu thinks that the pictures are the same ones from the previous card
[04:59] <hydoskee> anto9us: tried already, using a 64 bit architecture so freenx isn't supported
[04:59] <kristjin> Yeah, this isn't working.
[04:59] <hydoskee> Xavier101: yes
[04:59] <TheTurtle> install question - 6.06 live cd works but when installing it hangs after i choose "manual partition"...it starts the partition screen and the progress bar is moving and then locks up. 6.06 server cd install works fine
[04:59] <Xavier101> hydoskee, have you tried x11vnc?
[04:59] <tmdx120> wickedpuppy, Well, I installed, then I opend the browswer then I went to my VPN and clicked on it and nothing.
[04:59] <kristjin> I am STILL unable to access the mounted ntfs drive from within ubuntu.
[04:59] <wastrel> bob_harris:  do you unmount the first one first?
[04:59] <wastrel> before you unplug it
[04:59] <Xavier101> hydoskee,  my friend and I were able to remote connect
[04:59] <breakdecks> GDM couldnt write to your authorization file. this could mean that you are out of disk space or your home directory couldnt be opened for writing. in any case, it is not possible to login in. contact your system administrator.
[04:59] <bob_harris> wastrel: how do you do this?
[04:59] <breakdecks> how do I fix this?
[04:59] <kristjin> I have followed all instructions that were provided on !ntfs
[04:59] <Xavier101> hydoskee, and I was able to fix his comp
[04:59] <wickedpuppy> tmdx120, can paste the readme and install if you have them on the pastebin pls
[04:59] <tritium> Solbe: /query me please
[04:59] <Antrixx> Edgy seems awesome... But how do i get rid of that horrible framebuffer splash screen? apt-get remove usplash ?
[05:00] <kristjin> I have done extensive chown -R commands
[05:00] <wastrel> bob_harris:  right-click the icon on the desktop and choose "unmount volume" before you unplug it.
[05:00] <kristjin> I have done it all...
[05:00] <Solbe> tritium:so please show me the right list to update sudo dpkg -??
[05:00] <tritium> Antrixx: #ubuntu+1 for edgy questions please
[05:00] <kristjin> I can, as root, access the folder from within terminal.
[05:00] <TheTurtle> any boot options i can use to help with this or any suggestions would be appreciated...i googled but did not find an answer
[05:00] <cd32fan> tritium:it is installing..
[05:00] <hydoskee> Xavier101: we've been through all the regular channels, i get an error that it can't find the RGB_DB at /usr/X11/lib/rgb
[05:00] <Antrixx> fritium: sorry, thx =)
[05:00] <kristjin> I can NOT, hwoever, access the mounted folder from within ubuntu.
[05:00] <tritium> Solbe: to update?  "sudo apt-get update"
[05:00] <kristjin> This is the only problem.
[05:00] <bob_harris> wastrel: ok, thanks for you help
[05:00] <gyro54> I've broken my  when I tried to upgrade to Edgy. Now my language is stuffed and I have spent all morning trying to fix it. i think I will just completely install from scratch.
[05:00] <Xavier101> hydoskee, o
[05:00] <pianoboy3333> Is there a tango theme for gnometris?
[05:00] <kristjin> Does anyone understand this problem?
[05:01] <tritium> gyro54: #ubuntu+1 for edgy questions please
[05:01] <jrib> kristjin: how are you mounting it
[05:01] <kristjin> It's mounted.
[05:01] <jrib> kristjin: yes, but _how_?
[05:01] <kristjin> Via fstab.
[05:01] <jrib> kristjin: what's the line in fstab?
[05:01] <Xavier101> hydoskee, are you sure that's the right folder?
[05:01] <tmdx120> wickedpuppy,  hmmmm. I downloaded the tar file to my desktop, now every time I try to access the VPN i get a LAUNCH.ASP file on my desktop. any ideas on that?
[05:01] <gyro54> OK see you
[05:02] <kristjin> Well, I've changed it again, so let me reboot.
[05:02] <wickedpuppy> tmdx120, really ... are you reading my messages ?
[05:02] <kristjin> back momentarily.
[05:02] <hydoskee> Xavier101: it's close if it's not the same one, it's not a copy and paste
[05:02] <kristjin> gah.
[05:02] <sladen> Antrixx: remove 'splash' from the kernel command line
[05:02] <tmdx120> wickedpuppy, I dont know how to pastebin.
[05:02] <lanteau> jrib: I'm wondering the same thing
[05:02] <wickedpuppy> !pastebin
[05:02] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[05:02] <lanteau> jrib: mount -a isn't it?
[05:03] <bob_harris> wastrel: what file format is a usb camera drive? ie. i have a usb external hard drive that i formatted as ntfs, does this play a factor?
[05:03] <cd32fan> tritium:still not installed
[05:03] <jrib> lanteau: yeah, though unmounting might be necessary first if you change some options iirc
[05:03] <cd32fan> i dont know what is wrong with this thing
[05:03] <lanteau> jrib: yep
[05:03] <warlock> How do you set all of the files in a dir to be owned by root?
[05:03] <wastrel> bob_harris:  i believe removable media is typically FAT but i'm not sure
[05:03] <hydoskee> Xavier101:/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb
[05:04] <tmdx120> wickedpuppy, ???
[05:04] <tmdx120> ?
[05:04] <wickedpuppy> tmdx120, pls visit that site pls
[05:04] <tmdx120> !pastebin
[05:04] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[05:04] <tritium> cd32fan: okay, try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop"
[05:05] <cd32fan> tritium:the only thing i can think of the -bash thing..
[05:05] <lanteau> reboot, new kernel.
[05:05] <tritium> cd32fan: what are you referring to?
[05:05] <Xavier101> hydoskee, i don't have that file either
[05:05] <warlock> Is there a easy way to set all files in a dir to be owned by a specefic user? (I had to rephrase this question, came out wrong for the first time)
[05:05] <cd32fan> it says i dont have control of this session
[05:05] <cd32fan> -bash: no control over this session
[05:06] <warlock> um
[05:06] <Xavier101> hydoskee, i can still run x11vnc though
[05:06] <crass_> I'm trying to install 6.10 but when I run the install on the desktop and select my language the program stalls and never gets to the next window
[05:06] <hydoskee> Xavier101: but when I try to start a vncsesion, it says it can't find the RGB_DB at that location, and also it can't lock my .XAuthority file
[05:06] <anto9us> hydoskee, xdmcp maybe an alternative, found this, http://www.quietearth.us/articles/2006/08/16/Enabling-xdmcp-in-tsclient-for-ubuntu
[05:06] <hydoskee> Xavier101: and I'm not debating over whether you can run it or not, I'm just telling you the errors it throws me when I try and run a vncserver from the command line
[05:06] <tritium> cd32fan: eww
[05:06] <J-_> this is probably a lame question BUT what's the difference between gtk 2.x and metacity?
[05:07] <cd32fan> hmm
[05:07] <warlock> tritium - any ideas?
[05:07] <crass_> has anyone seen this issue?
[05:07] <TheTurtle> warlock: check out 'chown"...eg...chown user.group FILENAME
[05:07] <hydoskee> anto9us, I'm trying to connect from OS X, so vnc is pretty well the only option
[05:07] <Xavier101> hydoskee, are you trying to connect to someone, or is someone trying to connect to you?
[05:07] <Solbe> tritium:have you read my qury ?
[05:07] <J-_> !metacity
[05:07] <ubotu> metacity: A lightweight GTK2 based Window Manager. In component main, is optional. Version 1:2.14.5-0ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 693 kB, installed size 10732 kB
[05:07] <warlock> let me test TheTurtle
[05:07] <tritium> Solbe: never saw anything from you. Are you registered?
[05:07] <J-_> !gtk
[05:07] <ubotu> gtk is the gimp toolkit, which forms the base of Gnome and a lot of other applications
[05:07] <hydoskee> Xavier101, two machines, root on both, me connecting one to the other
[05:07] <Solbe> nope
[05:07] <hydoskee> Xavier101, one client one server
[05:07] <aSt3raL_> what kernel should i run on an amd semperon cpu?
[05:07] <J-_> hmm
[05:07] <Xavier101> hydoskee, server install x11vnc
[05:07] <cd32fan> is there anything i can type to find out whats wrong with xserver-org?
[05:07] <Solbe> wait
[05:07] <warlock> didn't work TheTurtle, I did cd /home/ then chown root:root /home/cs1/
[05:08] <hydoskee> Xavier101: installed already
[05:08] <J-_> !gtk 2.0
[05:08] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gtk 2.0 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:08] <hydoskee> Xavier101, reinstalled twice
[05:08] <Xavier101> hydoskee, client: vncviewer <ip address>:0
[05:08] <TheTurtle> warlock: did you use sudo chown...
[05:08] <warlock> no
[05:08] <aSt3raL_> i tried to install with i386 cd image and the system hangs
[05:08] <hydoskee> Xavier101, I know how the process works, I've done it a million times and set it up just as many
[05:08] <warlock> let me try
[05:08] <Solbe> tritium:there
[05:08] <warlock> still not workin
[05:08] <Solbe> tritium:have you seen it now? =)
[05:08] <Xavier101> hydoskee, ok...
[05:08] <tritium> Solbe: yes
[05:08] <Xavier101> sorry
[05:08] <kristjin> Hey, guess whose 400 Gig's of Music is showing up on his desktop now?
[05:09] <warlock> TheTurtle - can you join #blabla.help ? I'll show you what i want to change
[05:09] <hydoskee> Xavier101, it doesn't actually set up the server, and nmap doesn't display 590x as available from the client machine
[05:09] <hydoskee> Xavier101: ps -ef | grep -i vnc returns nothing as well
[05:09] <hydoskee> Xavier101, it just throws errors when I try and start the session
[05:09] <cd32fan> oh no
[05:09] <Xavier101> o
[05:09] <kristjin> So here's my only final question, folks...
[05:09] <tritium> cd32fan: what?
[05:10] <warlock> think i fixed i t
[05:10] <cd32fan> im starting to think i wont get this thing to work
[05:10] <kristjin> I have this amazing collection of mp3's.
[05:10] <warlock> STILL Messed up errors, godamnit.
[05:10] <tritium> warlock: language, please
[05:10] <hydoskee> Xavier101: Couldn't start Xtightvnc process.
[05:10] <hydoskee> Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'
[05:10] <hydoskee> MAXSOCKS=1000
[05:10] <hydoskee> Couldn't open RGB_DB '/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb'
[05:10] <hydoskee> MAXSOCKS=1000
[05:10] <cd32fan> the only thing different i see in the console is this "-bash"
[05:10] <kristjin> About 300 gigs of mp3s, and 100 gigs of movies.
[05:10] <kristjin> But.
[05:10] <warlock> tritium - ?
[05:10] <kristjin> It is on an NTFS drive.
[05:10] <cd32fan> says i dont have control over the console
[05:11] <tritium> hydoskee: please don't paste
[05:11] <hydoskee> tritium: sorry
[05:11] <tritium> warlock: as in please watch the offensive language
[05:11] <aSt3raL_> can i install ubuntu 6.06 on a amd sempron cpu?
[05:11] <kristjin> So, as you all know, I don't have write support for the drive.
[05:11] <warlock> tritium eh, I understood that, - but I didn't see any offensive in that :)
[05:11] <wastrel> i have 5 computers in my house and do'nt think i even have 100 GB combined
[05:12] <tritium> warlock: look harder, then
[05:12] <cafuego> aSt3raL_: yup
[05:12] <kristjin> Any suggestions on a solution without having to buy another drive immediately?
[05:12] <warlock> I wont ):
[05:12] <kristjin> I NEED another drive for backup purposes, and intend to buy one.
[05:13] <cd32fan> tritum:there is a flaw here
[05:13] <samuel> if I do sudo apt-get install edubuntu for the kid's will that just install another desktop session? or will i lost my standard ubuntu?
[05:13] <kristjin> As soon as someone buys my extraneous hard drive, (160 Gig Sata drive, loaded with their selection of mp3's) I'll be doing just that.
[05:13] <tritium> cd32fan: tell me...
[05:13] <cd32fan> everytime i login
[05:13] <cd32fan> it says there is a flaw
[05:13] <tritium> which is?
[05:13] <cd32fan> -bash: no control
[05:13] <aSt3raL_> do i need the amd64 image then?
[05:13] <kristjin> Until then, though, any suggestions on an easy way to change the partitioning?
[05:13] <cd32fan> im translating this
[05:14] <cd32fan> but it says -bash
[05:14] <cd32fan> this didnt show up before
[05:14] <samuel> if I do sudo apt-get install edubuntu for the kid's will that just install another desktop session? or will i lost my standard ubuntu?
[05:14] <cd32fan> "no work control in this session"
[05:14] <tritium> cd32fan: please use punctuation instead of the enter key so often
[05:15] <cd32fan> alright
[05:15] <colder4545> samuel, it will install another desktop, you will not lose anything
[05:15] <Solaris444> hi fellas
[05:15] <samuel> sweet
[05:15] <colder4545> samuel, you can select your new desktop while at login, under options
[05:15] <samuel> thanks
[05:16] <cd32fan> can i reset this session?
[05:16] <samuel> will it mean i have two gnomes? or will edubuntu just use the gnome packages i allready have....? so it wont waste space bla bla
[05:16] <colder4545> samuel, gnome is reused
[05:17] <samuel> thanks
[05:17] <cd32fan> tritium:what do you sugest ?
[05:17] <wastrel> samuel:  the package manager is only going to download what you don't already have
[05:17] <tritium> cd32fan: are you in a gnome terminal, or the console?
[05:17] <cd32fan> good question
[05:17] <hydoskee> anto9us is there a good way to get freenx to run on a 64 bit architecture?
[05:17] <kristjin> Anyone?  Anyone?
[05:17] <crass_> has anyone had issues installing ubuntu 6.10?
[05:17] <kristjin> Bueller?
[05:17] <colder4545> does anyone know why we always have between 800 and 850 users online?
[05:18] <kristjin> Really?
[05:18] <hydoskee> anto9us, it says unsupported, but that sounds like "maybe" to me
[05:18] <tritium> crass_: yes, please be sure you grab the newer 6.10.1 install image
[05:18] <tritium> crass_: 6.06 rather
[05:18] <anto9us> hydoskee, sorry, I've no idea, I'm still on 32 bit
[05:18] <cd32fan> tritium:cd32@cd32fan-desktop:~$
[05:18] <kristjin> Does anyone know how to change the partitioning?
[05:18] <kristjin> :)
[05:18] <crass_> tritium: so you're saying not to use 6.10 at all?
[05:18] <hydoskee> anto9us - well I'm reconsidering the switch
[05:18] <tritium> crass_: 6.10 questions belong in #ubuntu+1
[05:19] <tritium> crass_: no, I'm not saying that.  Wrong channel, though.
[05:19] <cd32fan> gnome?
[05:19] <crass_> ok, thanks
[05:19] <Solaris444> guys, what does ubuntu use for asian language input on english keyboards?
[05:19] <tritium> cd32fan: you'd know if you were running gnome.  It's a graphical desktop env.
[05:19] <cd32fan> im not then
[05:19] <anto9us> hydoskee, the switch to Ubuntu?
[05:20] <hydoskee> anto9us - 64bit, I'm a fan of ubuntu
[05:20] <tritium> cd32fan: how long ago did  you install?
[05:20] <cd32fan> today
[05:20] <tritium> cd32fan: from which install image?
[05:20] <anto9us> hydoskee, yes, I think compatibility issues outweigh performance
[05:20] <cd32fan> but it all started going wrong after i tried the ATi driver
[05:21] <cd32fan> 0.06
[05:21] <cd32fan> dapper i think
[05:21] <tritium> cd32fan: the newer 6.06.1 release?
[05:21] <cd32fan> yes
[05:22] <tritium> cd32fan: you're sure?  The original release had some major bugs.
[05:22] <Solaris444> does anyone know anything about asian language input?
[05:22] <cd32fan> u mean the 6.06.1 ?
[05:22] <tritium> cd32fan: no, that was the fix to 6.01
[05:22] <tritium> 6.06, rather
[05:22] <anto9us> hydoskee, might be worth a post on here https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+tickets
[05:23] <cd32fan> i have the 6.06
[05:23] <cd32fan> im sure
[05:23] <tritium> cd32fan: you need 6.06.1 then
[05:23] <tritium> cd32fan: you're likely experiencing the bugs that required the .1 release
[05:24] <cd32fan> tritium:can i update through the console?
[05:24] <wastrel> Solaris444:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SCIM
[05:24] <cd32fan> will i lose all my installation?
[05:24] <tritium> cd32fan: but your install never completed properly, right?  I'd download the newer install image, and use that.
[05:24] <tonyyarusso> Say, how do you click the network icon in a default install to get network-admin?  (I have n-m, so don't have it)
[05:24] <Solaris444> thanks wastrel: now, the tricky part... is there a way I can use this in SuSE?
[05:24] <tritium> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/6.06.1/release.1/
[05:24] <cd32fan> i did use it
[05:24] <wastrel> hah
[05:24] <Solaris444> I know this is ubuntu, but please throw me a bone here.
[05:25] <wastrel> google scim suse mebby :]   dunno
[05:25] <cd32fan> i installed a bunch of things
[05:25] <tritium> cd32fan: the _newer_ one (see above URL)
[05:25] <cd32fan> can i see the version im using now?
[05:25] <hydoskee> does anybody know if there's an X11 or X windowing channel?
[05:25] <cd32fan> what must i type?
[05:25] <Artemis3> xorg ?
[05:25] <THX-1138> #xorg
[05:26] <tritium> cd32fan: you need to download the newer installer, burn it to CD, and install from it
[05:26] <m4jqp> how do i enable ssh?
[05:26] <ubuntu__> im using live CD, will it retain all changes after I shut down?
[05:26] <wastrel> m4jqp:  sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[05:26] <m4jqp> so someone can connect to my computer?
[05:26] <cd32fan> it doesnt make sense,since i downloaded it today
[05:26] <cd32fan> from the ubuntu site
[05:26] <cd32fan> and i used for 2 hours
[05:27] <kmon_> hi, I'm using edgy and I'm afraid I've messed my gconf settings, can someone help?
[05:27] <cd32fan> with gnome
[05:27] <wasabi> Anybody aware why I should choose amd64-xeon kernel instead of amd64-server?
[05:27] <tritium> cd32fan: but you told me you downloaded 6.06, and you were sure.  That's the _old_ one.
[05:27] <RandomChu> I'm sorry, but I can't seem to remember a command to figure out the local ip address from the terminal... Help? :/
[05:27] <m4jqp> wastrel, after that's installed do i /etc/init.d/sshd start ?
[05:27] <cd32fan> but this "-bash" thing is the problem i think
[05:27] <noiesmo> m4jqp, ssh should be enabled by default however you may need to set up port forwarding from your router or modem
[05:27] <Artemis3> xeon sounds like intel
[05:27] <noiesmo> m4jqp, yes
[05:27] <cd32fan> i remember 6.06
[05:27] <tritium> cd32fan: do you understand the difference between the 6.06 and the 6.06.1 releases?
[05:27] <wastrel> !ssh
[05:27] <ubotu> ssh is the Secure SHell protocol (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto). Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows, which can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[05:27] <cd32fan> yea
[05:27] <kmon_> hi, I'm using edgy and I'm afraid I've messed my gconf settings, can someone help?
[05:28] <m4jqp> noiesmo, k ill give it a try, thanks
[05:28] <tritium> cd32fan: then you should understand that you're using an installer with major problems.
[05:28] <cd32fan> but it was working i tell ya
[05:28] <brian98> RandomChu, system - administration - networking
[05:28] <wastrel> m4jqp:  that would work not sure if it comes up automatically.... been a while since i installed
[05:28] <cd32fan> tritium:ok,one last try
[05:29] <RandomChu> brian98: I fail to see it.
[05:29] <cd32fan> tritium:how can i reset the user login in the console?
[05:29] <RandomChu> Ah, found it through ifconfig. Silly me.
[05:29] <tritium> cd32fan: you're obviously not listening to what I am telling you
[05:29] <brian98> RandomChu, I think it's sudo apt-get install network-tools but I could be wrong
[05:29] <cd32fan> because it says i dont have control over the session...
[05:29] <cd32fan> im all ears
[05:29] <cd32fan> :)
[05:29] <kmon_> anyone knows is there anyway to reconfigure desktop settings to default?
[05:29] <cd32fan> really
[05:30] <kmon_> I'm messed my gconf
[05:30] <brian98> RandomChu, sudo apt-get install network-manager
[05:30] <kmon_> :(
[05:30] <brian98> sorry
[05:30] <tritium> cd32fan: then see my comments above
[05:31] <Aji-Dahaka> so my ubuntu started to act "different" after a dist-upgrade...for example, all of /dev is root-only 660
[05:31] <bushblows> when i try to add a new network user to a samba server i type, sudo smbpasswd -a system_username
[05:31] <zaydana> any idea why when I try to install php5-cli and php-pear, it tries to get them from the security.ubuntu.bleh repository ?
[05:31] <zaydana> its 404ing as well :-/
[05:31] <bushblows> then it asks for pass i give it then verify and it fails to write the pass
[05:31] <bushblows> what am i doing wrong
[05:32] <cd32fan> im going to lose all my information right?
[05:32] <cd32fan> darn
[05:32] <cd32fan> and i already had installed scorched3d
[05:32] <afaik> cat /dev/urandom > /dev/dsp
[05:32] <afaik> "I can't believe my ears on the music i'm hearing... they are bleeding from the sounds of satan"
[05:33] <Aji-Dahaka> it appears to be related to this 2.6.17 kernel upgrade
[05:33] <Aji-Dahaka> anyone have any ideas what could have gone foul?
[05:33] <tritium> Aji-Dahaka: #ubuntu+1 for edgy questions
[05:33] <Aji-Dahaka> thanks, tritium
[05:34] <Rookie-> !source.list
[05:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about source.list - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:34] <Chu> brian98: Heh, I think that screwed up with qt4.
[05:34] <Rookie-> link to auto source.list anyone ?
[05:34] <jrib> !easysource
[05:34] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[05:34] <brian98> Chu, ?
[05:35] <Chu> No, nevermind, that was just me panicking.
[05:35] <Chu> I guess I'll switch back again. :/
[05:36] <spencer> Hello everyone?
[05:36] <Linuxactivist>      /msg nickserv set hide email on
[05:36] <cd32fan> tritium:whe you say the are installer bugs,exactly problems can happen?
[05:36] <J-_> everytime i load an icon set in theme details it says; Could not load icon
[05:36] <J-_> Details: Icon 'x-directory-normal' not found
[05:36] <spencer> I've never used IIRC before, so.. I do need some help with a problem im having with GParter
[05:36] <cd32fan> tritium:you are right,and so was i,i have the 6.06 version
[05:36] <Rookie-> jrib - ty
[05:37] <jrib> Rookie-: np
[05:37] <jrib> spencer: hello, just ask your question.  If someone knows, they will try to help
[05:38] <cd32fan> tritium:since im going to do a fresh install,can you tell me if there is an ATi driver that works for the 9600 series?
[05:38] <spencer> okies.
[05:38] <IY1> if I have Windows installed on two partitions (C: and D:), can I still use the LiveCD to do a dual boot, or does the resize thing only work for one partition Windows installations
[05:38] <spencer> I have ubuntu 6.06 installed, with all the nice stuff I like.
[05:39] <jrib> that uses freenode?
[05:39] <spencer> I have ubuntu 6.06 installed, with all the nice stuff I like. I have XGL, and all the stuff I want. its running really well. Okay, so I want to install windows, because i really need to start editing video for a project. How do I install Windows ontop of Ubuntu, without ruining anything?
[05:40] <jrib> spencer: install it on its own partition.  It will be bad and take over the mbr.  So I will have the bot send you instructions on reinstalling grub afterwards
[05:40] <jrib> ubotu: tell spencer about grub
[05:40] <cd32fan> sorry for your trouble :)
[05:41] <spencer> hey, well. I tried resizing the Linux partition with the Live CD. no luck.
[05:41] <spencer> it just goes for like 3 hours.
[05:41] <spencer> and dosnt do anything.
[05:41] <tritium> cd32fan: sorry, I was away
[05:41] <babo> what's the ubuntu package with the compiler in it again ?
[05:41] <Linuxactivist> spencer, It is usually easier to do it the other way around.  Install Windows first and then install Linux.  Otherwise follow jrib's advice.  Windows always assumes that it is the only operating system installed and therefore will walk all over the Master Boot Record.  It is recoverable, though.
[05:42] <babo> build-developer or something like that ?
[05:42] <tritium> build-essential
[05:42] <babo> tritium: thanks
[05:42] <Linuxactivist> ubotu, what is grub
[05:42] <spencer> Well, If I install windows, will it not destory my Ubuntu install?
[05:42] <cd32fan> :D
[05:42] <Dr_willis> spencer,  it will overwite the grub boot loader.
[05:42] <tritium> cd32fan: yes, the fglrx or ati servers will both support your 9600
[05:42] <Dr_willis> but that can be replaced
[05:43] <tritium> !grub
[05:43] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:43] <noiesmo> cd32fan, I had 9700 ati using the fglrx drivers no probs even used it for xgl compiz now running nvidia though
[05:43] <spencer> Okay, so im not too savvy with the windows install procedure. I put the disk in. (is there a partition resizer inside of the install disk?)
[05:43] <cd32fan> tritium:this must explain why the ati drivers didnt work with 6.06,right?
[05:44] <tritium> cd32fan: I don't recall all the problems with the 6.06 installer, but it sounds like it failed you since not even xserver-xorg was install properly.  That has nothing to do with ati drivers.
[05:44] <cd32fan> noiesmo:thanks for the tip ;)
[05:45] <noiesmo> spencer, there is partitioner in windows install but I fear it will destroy your ubuntu install you really need to resize partition before install windows or add another hard drive
[05:45] <spencer> thats what I thought.
[05:45] <cd32fan> tritium:for the ppl who already have the 6.06 installed isnt there a way of doing an update instead of installing from scratch?
[05:46] <User38> Hi, the sound is suddenly stopped working today on my computer.
[05:46] <tritium> spencer: read that URL above.  you can install windows after ubuntu, and then recover it.
[05:46] <tritium> DHN_WP: it was just "suddenly", and not after an update or anything like that?
[05:46] <noiesmo> tritium, spencer is having problems resize his partiton
[05:47] <DHN_WP> tritium: I think I added a .rules file etc/udev/rules.d
[05:47] <Xavier101> i would like flash to work in opera as well
[05:47] <stlxv> install the official flash plugin
[05:47] <DHN_WP> trititum: I removed the file afterward, but it didn't fix the problem
[05:48] <Madpilot> c0s, easiest way to do it is just use the download from Macromedia/Adobe, it should detect all your installed browsers
[05:48] <seversky> ?
[05:48] <seversky> ls
[05:48] <c0s> stlxv, yea went to adobe and all it found was FF not opera
[05:49] <DHN_WP> Does anyone know how to get the sound to work again?
[05:49] <c0s> Madpilot, already had that half typed when you posted what you did
[05:49] <Madpilot> c0s, odd, when I ran it it found Opera fine. Check Opera's website, they've got a good section on plugins
[05:49] <FlyingSquirrell3> I have directions that tell me to install  gstreamer8.0-lame to record into mp3 format. what is the matching  package for gstreamer 10?
[05:49] <c0s> Madpilot,  ahh crap forgot bout that thanks
[05:49] <stlxv> c0s, does the installer ask you which browser to install?
[05:50] <cd32fan> okay,time for rest
[05:50] <cd32fan> tritium:thank you so much man
[05:50] <tritium> cd32fan: no problem
[05:51] <DHN_WP> The sound in my computer stopped working after I added a file to /etc/udev/rules.d and would still not work when I removed the file
[05:51] <c0s> stlxv, no it just shows FF
[05:52] <spencer> noiesmo, Im alittle worried about all this. So, the first thing I do. Is resize the linux partition with the windows disk?
[05:52] <spencer> Or is there something i can do, inside of Ubuntu?
[05:52] <c0s> found the link on opera thanks forgot they have those things there
[05:52] <noiesmo> spencer, if you do that you will destroy your linux install
[05:52] <Xavier101> c0s, what's the link?
[05:52] <spencer> noiesmo, okayyy... so I don
[05:52] <spencer> noiesmo, okayyy... so I don't want to do that *
[05:52] <c0s> Xavier101, http://www.opera.com/linux/docs/plugins/install/index.dml
[05:53] <Xavier101> c0s, thanks
[05:53] <spencer> noiesmo, so, why isnt the live CD doing it for me? Am I doing something wrong?
[05:53] <c0s> Xavier101, anytime
[05:53] <DHN_WP> is there some way to change the alsa settings?
[05:54] <noiesmo> spencer, not sure sorry
[05:54] <spencer> noiesmo, its cool.. It is kinda frustrating.
[05:55] <noiesmo> spencer, yeah would be :)
[05:55] <spencer> I do have a Kubuntu live CD. does KDE use different partitioning software?
[05:56] <shinobi2> is this command correct? "ls -al | less -R"  i have no color
[05:56] <noiesmo> spencer, might have qtparted on it but thats still gui for parted
[05:56] <shinobi2> is this command correct? "ls -al --color | less -R"  i have no color
[05:56] <Xavier101> c0s, i have flash installed, but it still doesn't work
[05:56] <stlxv> spencer, you can use any partitioning software
[05:56] <spencer> stlxv, do you reccomend anything.
[05:56] <stlxv> for example, fdisk
[05:56] <stlxv> :-)
[05:56] <spencer> fdisk?
[05:57] <spencer> is that on ubuntu to start?
[05:57] <stlxv> ?
[05:57] <spencer> this is all my first month of ubuntu.
[05:57] <stlxv> not understand...
[05:57] <c0s> Xavier101, not sure cause I got it working here
[05:57] <spencer> Is Fdisk preinstalled?
[05:57] <Dr_willis> fdisk is the old reliable standard 'text/console' tool :)
[05:57] <stlxv> fdisk is a classic partitioning software
[05:57] <spencer> is that the "disks manager"
[05:57] <Dr_willis> 'classic' :)
[05:57] <stlxv> i think so
[05:57] <spencer> ooh.
[05:57] <spencer> okay.
[05:58] <Xavier101> c0s, ok...dunno why mine doesn't work
[05:58] <stlxv> no
[05:58] <Xavier101> c0s, does adobe test site work for you?
[05:58] <c0s> Xavier101, yea
[05:58] <c0s> brb]
[05:58] <DHN_WP> does Ubuntu have some "restore" utility like Windows Restore?
[05:58] <stlxv> or, attempt to find the partitioning software in the K menu
[05:58] <Xavier101> c0s, damn
[05:58] <zaydana> i've got a really weird problem... i'm in a directory with a file named "php" with execute priliveges. But when I do ./php, it tells me theres no such file or directory
[05:59] <spencer> Well, how about this. Is there anyway. I can copy this partition as a disk image. to another harddrive. and install windows. then restore that image to the drive in another partition?
[05:59] <zaydana> anybody got any ideas?
[05:59] <shinobi2> is this command correct? "tree /--color | less -R"  i have no color
[05:59] <mnepton> zaydana: php files are not exectuable by the shell. they need to be parsed by php.
[05:59] <Dr_willis>   / --color    ?? why the /
, you can use tar or dd to backup a partition
[06:00] <zaydana> mnepton - no, i'm tlaking about the php binary
[06:00] <zaydana> not an actual php file
[06:00] <spencer> hmmm
[06:00] <mnepton> zaydana: permissions on that file?
[06:00] <zaydana> 777
[06:00] <DHN_WP> stlxv: nah, I just want to back up certain system-specific files
[06:00] <zaydana> mnepton - even root can't run it
[06:01] <spencer>  *sigh* I guess. . .  I could just redo ubuntu all together...
[06:01] <noiesmo> spencer, you want to do video stuff in windows have you thought about using wine and linux based video editing
[06:01] <mnepton> zaydana: php itself is not a binary that runs. it parses script files. have you tried ./php ./foobar.php ?
[06:01] <stlxv> DHN_WP: use tar you can have a backup of any files, even special files
[06:01] <wastrel> zaydana:  file php
[06:01] <spencer> Yeah, I have. Wine dosnt really work well with adobie Premere
[06:01] <wastrel> or file ./php
[06:01] <zaydana> mnepton - yeah, just tried that. Didn't work.
[06:02] <noiesmo> spencer, aah k
[06:02] <DHN_WP> stlxv: so there's no automatic way to do backups
[06:02] <spencer> ive heard about a really good program. that people edit video on. . . oh well.
[06:02] <mnepton> zaydana: have you edited your php.conf file?
[06:02] <zaydana> another file in the same directory which is an executable won't execute either... that one is called "dialog"
[06:02] <mnepton> zaydana: where did you get PHP?
[06:02] <zaydana> mnepton - nah, that owuldn't help. This is a binary which is distributed with Zend Studio Server to run the install script
[06:02] <cafuego> spencer: yes, if you need Premire, use WIndows or OSX.
[06:02] <cafuego> spencer: You could try cinelerra...
[06:03] <wastrel> zaydana:   what does  file ./php   do?
[06:03] <zaydana> i've got standard php installed from the ubuntu repos as well...
[06:03] <mnepton> zaydana: oh sweet jebus. commerical vendor altered scripting enviroments. ick.
[06:03] <zaydana> wastrel - it seems to be a php-cli client
, I did that only by tar, I used it to backup a full system and restored it to another machine
[06:03] <xeruno> Hi every one, I have this question regarding the bug report process
[06:03] <spencer> Hey, I have an idea! Pretty much. the only thing I really want backed up. are these things.. I followed a tort that told em how to use a wide screen resolution (I have a wide screen monitor)
[06:03] <spencer> i think its called... Xconf?
[06:03] <spencer> no! Xorg.conf!
[06:03] <zaydana> mnepton - i've got it installed before... I just have not the slightest clue why bash can't even see the files :-/
[06:03] <spencer> I think...?
[06:03] <cafuego> spencer: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[06:04] <zaydana> bash tells me the files aren't found, so i'm thinking it can't see them for some reason
[06:04] <spencer> ...?
[06:04] <cafuego> spencer: Xorg.conf is just the config file.
[06:04] <mnepton> zaydana: so try zsh or something
[06:04] <noiesmo> spencer, hers a couple video editing links http://wiki.pitivi.org/wiki/Downloads#Ubuntu  & http://www.reimeika.ca/lives/lives_guide.html  &
[06:04] <zaydana> zsh
[06:04] <wastrel> zaydana:  is it bash that's giving you that output or the executable you're running?
[06:04] <zaydana> woops, wrong window
[06:04] <zaydana> wastrel - how could I tell the difference?
[06:04] <Linuxactivist> How many of you guys answer the support questions on Launchpad's support site?
[06:04] <spencer> cafuego, I know that. Can I just burn that to a CD. reinstall Ubuntu, and replace it the burned one
[06:05] <cafuego> Linuxactivist: Sorry, that is a paid-support only question.
[06:05] <stlxv> DHN_WP: I think, not like Windows, only the kernel(only a file) is required in Linux
[06:05] <DHN_WP> Is it possible to restore Ubuntu to its default settings?
[06:05] <Dr_willis> :)
[06:05] <zaydana> wastrel - the "not found" is in the same format as one that actually isn't there, so I guess bash
[06:05] <Linuxactivist> ha ha.
[06:05] <stlxv> yes
[06:05] <Dr_willis> DHN_WP,   depends on which settings. :P
[06:05] <cafuego> spencer: Sure... or email it to your gmail account of somesuch or use a floppy or usb key (waste of a cd otherwise)
[06:05] <DHN_WP> stlxv: That's the problem...I got no idea what to back up
[06:05] <stlxv> you can backup anytime and restore it anytime
[06:05] <xeruno> Where i should report the bugs? I mean, If i using Edgy and i found a bug at some libray example gtk, should I use Malone or go directly to Gnome Bugzilla?    I mean how updated is the Edgy version of Gnome componets in comparision of the actual version on the CVS?
[06:05] <DHN_WP> stlvx: Now my sound stopped working
[06:05] <spencer> im guessing i cant backup my XGL and Compiz settings tho.
[06:06] <cafuego> xeruno: Just sue malone, the maintainer will move it up the tree if needed.
[06:06] <ubuntu_> damn, ubuntu crashed
[06:06] <noiesmo> spencer, you could back up your users home directory
[06:06] <spencer> Ohhh!
[06:06] <Linuxactivist> just curios.  I hang out there a lot.
[06:06] <spencer> Good Idea.
[06:06] <ubuntu_> lost all changes
[06:06] <spencer> Is that all that I would have to do?
[06:06] <stlxv> if you want to backup just only your user own settings, just backup your home directory
[06:06] <ubuntu_> im using the live CD, will it keep all changes and updates after I shut down?
[06:06] <cafuego> spencer: I usually copy /etc and /home, as well as the output of 'dpkg --get-selections'.
[06:06] <DHN_WP> I notice that when I'm playing vlc and then close it, it keeps playing in the background, and there's no way to open the window
[06:07] <stlxv> or, global settings are in the /etc directory
[06:07] <noiesmo> spencer, well that say your user setting etc but any thing like xorg.conf etc will need to be done maybe even your sources.list if moded
[06:07] <spencer> yeah, all that is changed.
[06:07] <spencer> could I just like.
[06:07] <spencer> back up my Filesystem.
[06:07] <xeruno> cafuego, I used to report bugs on Gnome Bugzilla as well, I'm just asking the path in Ubuntu

[06:10] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure alsa is selected by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (Alsa Mixer). If you are still having problems with sound, then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems

[06:17] <hidden_> I installed the mplayer plugin for firefox with easy ubuntu, but it does not work, says something about not being able to connect to esd_open_sound server: connect rest by peer

[06:18] <ubuntu_> unless my version doesnt come with it
[06:18] <krystoff> which version ubuntu_ ?
[06:18] <krystoff> of ubuntu
[06:18] <Dr_willis> ubuntu_,  the lastest live cds have an install icon/program
[06:18] <Seq> has anybody had this issue before: gpg: can't connect to `/home/chris/.gnome2/seahorse-kzKeZo/S.gpg-agent': connect failed
[06:18] <ubuntu_> 5.1
[06:19] <timalot> hi, anyone know how to set the terminal font back to normal ... after it goes all to symbols?
[06:19] <ClayG> hey
[06:19] <krystoff> that's why ... use the install cd or the latest version
[06:19] <krystoff> ubuntu_, the 6.06
[06:19] <ClayG> whats the "right" way to start tor and privoxy?
[06:19] <Dr_willis> 5.1 is like.. real real old. :)
[06:19] <ubuntu_> damnit. lol... im screwed now.
[06:19] <Dr_willis> ClayG,  they should startup as services on boot time
[06:20] <ClayG> Dr_willis, ok but lets pretend that they dont, what is the correct way to start them?>
[06:20] <stlxv> ubuntu_, 5.1 has a single install cd
[06:20] <ubuntu_> got 8 ubuntu 5.1 CDs, just is fine, all others are bad
[06:20] <Dr_willis> ClayG,  err.. add them to the services.. :)
[06:20] <Dr_willis> heh heh
[06:20] <ubuntu_> the only CD that works is a live one
[06:20] <ubuntu_> well...
[06:20] <ubuntu_> seems that Ill have to download it
[06:21] <Dr_willis> by the time you get the free cd's a new version is out. :)
[06:21] <ClayG> Dr_willis, Ok, I will consider that fix.  Looking to see the correct way to call them from the command line
[06:21] <mnepton> ubuntu_: when you burn the .iso images burn tham at <8x speed
[06:21] <Dr_willis> ClayG,  fix? are they broken? they worked for me last time i tried them
[06:21] <ubuntu_> 8x?
[06:21] <mnepton> or less than
[06:22] <ClayG> Dr_willis, surely you have seen/heard of something working for one person and not for another?
[06:22] <Dr_willis> Ive never understood why that speed matters.
[06:22] <ubuntu_> faster than 8x will produce bad copies?
[06:22] <stlxv> ubuntu_, 6.10 will come on 27th this month
[06:22] <DHN_WP> !google
[06:22] <ubotu> google is a very popular search engine, http://www.google.com
[06:22] <mnepton> ubuntu_: it's more likely to, for sure.
[06:22] <Dr_willis> ClayG,  in  Ubuntu thats rare.   if you installed the packages then they should of installed the server/rc/ files as well to start theirselfs.
[06:22] <ClayG> Dr_willis, it's one of those things hard to explain the whys.  Just need to know the hows
[06:22] <stlxv> ubuntu_, i burnt the cd in 40x
[06:23] <hidden_> I can't see the sound card!
[06:23] <Dr_willis> ClayG,  ive seen a few tor howtos/guides on the net.
[06:23] <ClayG> Dr_willis, I agree , it should be started when the system does
[06:23] <Dr_willis> I found tor a neat idea.. but lacking in ways. :()
[06:23] <Dr_willis> !tor
[06:23] <ubotu> tor: anonymizing overlay network for TCP. In component universe, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>-1ubuntu2.1 (dapper), package size 608 kB, installed size 1120 kB
[06:23] <mnepton> ClayG: invoke-rc.d and update-rc.d are what you want
[06:24] <ClayG> mnepton, awsome, I was thinking that was it
[06:24] <ClayG> but get this error when invoking
[06:24] <hidden_> how can I let all users see the sound card?
[06:24] <ClayG> mnepton, http://pastebin.ca/202138 - what do you make of that?
[06:25] <mnepton> you have a config file issue, it seems
[06:25] <mnepton> does TOR start when executed without invoke-rc.d?
[06:26] <wabbit> could somebody point me to some documentation
[06:26] <Dr_willis> http://tldp.org
[06:26] <Dr_willis> lots of docs there
[06:26] <mnepton> wabbit: http://en.wikipedia.org
[06:26] <wabbit> on how to configure the mic on dapper
[06:26] <wabbit> hehe
[06:26] <Dr_willis> Oh.. it was a 2 parter.. :)
[06:27] <mnepton> wabbit: go adjust the sound levels. the mic is on, but muted.
[06:27] <ClayG> mnepton, as in just typing tor at the cli?
[06:27] <mnepton> ClayG: yup, with sudo
[06:27] <ClayG> same errror
[06:27] <goofy> im tring to install 3D Xgl Compiz and keep getting this error :      Some packages could not be installed.

[06:27] <wabbit> the alsamixer does not shows mic but

[06:27] <wabbit> no level indicated
[06:27] <ClayG> i think yer right
[06:27] <mnepton> ClayG: then the problem is not with invoke-rc.d, but you need to edit config files to get things set up
[06:27] <wabbit> it's enabled in kmix
[06:28] <ClayG> mnepton, you got one i can borrow, a torrc?
[06:28] <hidden_> how do I add a user to a group?

[06:28] <wabbit> neither can i record something using soundrecorder

[06:28] <wabbit> is there a howto documentation on mic configuration

[06:36] <blind> THX-1138: kino deals with .DV files, I can't get the avi imported...

[06:36] <wizard> now I've heard kubuntu has a bad configuration file somewhere in it that causes problems like this.
[06:36] <THX-1138> wizard - did you install the driver from the nvidia site?
[06:36] <THX-1138> blind - ok,
[06:37] <Dr_willis> dorto,  so remove ubuntu-desktop then. its just a meta-package
[06:37] <blind> dorto: you can uninstall ubuntu-desktop, it's just a meta file. make sure you reinstall it.
[06:37] <dorto> Dr_willis, oh, so the gnome desktop still remains?
[06:37] <Dr_willis> reinstall it befor doing  system upgrades
[06:37] <Dr_willis> i feel they got way too much stuff in the default ubuntu-desktop
[06:37] <dorto> ok, I will reinstall it then. thanks :)

[06:43] <efrancolaporte> hey
[06:43] <mckinnoj> wastrel, i thought this would copy it in his home directory....it seems like something happens but when i check the directory it is empty
[06:43] <wastrel> almost.   and you shouldn't need sudo unless you don't have read perms on the file.
[06:43] <efrancolaporte> does anyone know a commant for emptying the trash as root
[06:43] <wastrel> scp File user@ipaddress:
[06:43] <efrancolaporte> without graphically login in as root
[06:43] <wastrel> :   is the filename - homedir is the default so you don't need anything else.
[06:44] <mckinnoj> so when i did sudo scp FILE user@ipaddress there was nothing in the home folder?
[06:44] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: sudo rm ~/.Trash/*
[06:45] <efrancolaporte> thanks ladydoor
[06:45] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: or just use rm in the first place instead of moving things to the trash
[06:45] <YBH_1> I have installed a new network card in Ubuntu 6.06, however Ubuntu attempts to install eth0 using the old device and finally installs eth1 after about five minutes. How do I remove the old device from the startup?

[06:49] <efrancolaporte> how do you remove folders?
[06:49] <efrancolaporte> from the terminal
[06:49] <Dr_willis> a folder IS a directory
[06:49] <quandar> efrancolaporte: rmdir
[06:49] <efrancolaporte> thank you!
[06:49] <maquis> has anybody else here had problems with convert recently?  for me, it's complaining about a missing .la file when i try to run convert -rotate, and a friend just had the exact same problem with a fresh install of imagemagick.
[06:49] <Dr_willis> blame MS for mixxuping the terms. :)
[06:50] <quandar> efrancola: rmdir -rf is probably the better idea to get rid of the entire directory

[06:55] <efrancolaporte> allright its done thanks

[06:58] <sproingie> ArtVandalae: i doubt that edgy will be updating versions of much of anything this close to release
[06:58] <sproingie> ArtVandalae: especially a beta
[06:59] <ladydoor> goofy: actually, you should use gksudo (or kdesu) for a graphical program like gedit
[06:59] <goofy> ok thanks
[06:59] <MrKinky> one sec.
[06:59] <MrKinky> checking it out
[06:59] <ladydoor> goofy: sudo nano -w, however, would open a simple console text editor.
[06:59] <MrKinky> i really hate to lose the amount of songs i have.
[07:00] <quandar> MrKinky: Do you not have them backed up onto your computer?
[07:00] <efrancolaporte> crossover is a piece of junk it cant install sucessfully
[07:01] <MrKinky> quandar: i do. i intend to wipe this entire hdd out to put ubuntu on it
[07:01] <sproingie> i wish the system had enough intelligence for sudo to DTRT with gui apps
[07:01] <efrancolaporte> and it doesnt tell you why
[07:01] <maquis> can anyone help with my convert problem?
[07:01] <quandar> MrKinky: Perhaps you should convert your iPod to disk mode and dump all the raw files onto your iPod and then extract them when you are on Ubuntu
[07:02] <quandar> maquis: convert problem?
[07:02] <maquis> quandar: [amon-re italy]  convert -rotate -90 IMG_0012.JPG IMG_0012.JPG-rotated
[07:02] <maquis> convert: unable to open module file `/usr/lib/ImageMagick-6.2.4/modules-Q16/coders/jpg-rotated.la': No such file or directory.
[07:02] <MrKinky> quandar: i could as well.
[07:02] <arakn0> hello
[07:02] <goofy> what could carse this error: (gedit:9834): GnomeUI-WARNING **: While connecting to session manager: Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[07:02] <maquis> quandar: i've talked to oter people who also do not have that file, but can convert just fine
[07:02] <host`> if I do 'cp -r usr /' would that overwrite the /usr directory that I already have?
[07:03] <MrKinky> thanks for the headsup guys.
[07:03] <arakn0> how can i add a new rsa key into known_host ssh config file????
[07:03] <MrKinky> i'll see what i can get done.
[07:03] <MrKinky> ~
[07:03] <maquis> quandar: although, one person i talked to tried installing imagemagick fresh on their computer, and then it wouldn't work anymore
[07:03] <host`> anyone know?
[07:03] <Omicron> Morning all.
[07:03] <quandar> Are you using a new system? As in, fresh install maquis
[07:03] <efrancolaporte> i need help
[07:04] <quandar> *recent fresh install
[07:04] <maquis> quandar: yeah... pretty fresh
[07:04] <efrancolaporte> open office spellcheck doesnt work
[07:04] <maquis> < 3 weeks old
[07:04] <efrancolaporte> and i looked through the entire manual
[07:04] <ladydoor> host`: a) you should do cp -a. second, you should sudo. third, it would overwrite any files in your /usr that were duplicates
[07:04] <efrancolaporte> i cant find why
[07:04] <quandar> maquis: when you are in Synaptic are there any other versions offered for imagemagik
[07:04] <maquis> quandar: i'm pretty new to ubuntu... decided to give it a try because i'm tired of freebsd
[07:04] <host`> thanks ladydoor
[07:04] <efrancolaporte> open office spellcheck works in documents that i created in windows
[07:04] <maquis> quandar: i just saw the one that i chose in aptitude
[07:04] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: are aspell/ispell installed?
[07:04] <SuperMiguel> i have an old pc like a pIII 800 mGHZ
[07:04] <SuperMiguel> 256 RAM
[07:05] <efrancolaporte> but not in new documents i create from open office
[07:05] <maquis> quandar: let me check synaptic to see if it shows better
[07:05] <SuperMiguel> will ubuntu run fast on it?
[07:05] <ClayG> mnepton, can you check this out boss? http://pastebin.ca/202178
[07:05] <efrancolaporte> yea aspel and ispel are installed
[07:05] <Omicron> Dapper Drake user, Gnome interface - looking for what i need to download and install to play chess against the computer.
[07:05] <ClayG> tell me what I'm doing wrong? I remember a year ago I had to chmod something, i think lol not sure
[07:05] <quandar> maquis: check if it offers a "force version" offer and has multiple versions
[07:05] <maquis> quandar: i only see one version offered
[07:05] <efrancolaporte> and spellcheck seems to be activated in the tools/options... panel
[07:05] <maquis> quandar: where would that option be located?
[07:06] <efrancolaporte> yet it detects no mistakes
[07:06] <efrancolaporte> except if i load microsoft documents from windows
[07:06] <dorto> when I am trying to reinstall ubuntu-desktop(as just now suggested), it is again prompting to install gnome-games! Is there no way to remove gnome-games?
[07:06] <SuperMiguel> whi ois the lighter desktop manager_
[07:06] <quandar> maquis: have you tried doing a "complete removal" as in a "sudo apt-get --purge remove imagemagik". The menu option for Force Version is under Package>Force Version
[07:06] <maquis> quandar: under versions, i see 6:<IP_ADDRESS>-0.6ubuntu0.2 and 6:<IP_ADDRESS>-0.6
[07:06] <SuperMiguel> which is the lighter desktop manager
[07:07] <ladydoor> dorto: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package that depends on a bunch of pre-selected packages.
[07:07] <maquis> i have the one with ubuntu in the name... should i try the other one?
[07:07] <quandar> maquis: perhaps you should try whatever version you are not using right now
[07:09] <maquis> quandar: ok
[07:09] <maquis> i'll try that
[07:09] <maquis> thanks
[07:09] <quandar> no problem, tell me if it works maquis
[07:09] <skoger> i need download edgy eft ?
[07:09] <CorpseFeeder> searching the ubunutu wiki is dead slow/worse than useless (as usual). Can someone provide me with a link to the wiki page about restricted codecs?
[07:09] <skoger> beta
[07:09] <dorto> ladydoor: yeah. people here had asked me to remove it with gnome-games and then reinstall it so that future upgrades don't suffer
[07:09] <SuperMiguel> !outoftopic
[07:09] <Flannel> !tell CorpseFeeder about restricted
[07:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about outoftopic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:09] <dorto> ladydoor: is there no need to reinstall ubuntu-desktop metapackage now?
[07:09] <SuperMiguel> !out off topic
[07:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about out off topic - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:09] <maquis> quandar: looks like it's still having the same problem
[07:09] <Omicron> Well, thanks anyway.
[07:09] <Flannel> SuperMiguel: offtopic, #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:09] <ladydoor> dorto: only when you dist-upgrade
[07:09] <ladydoor> dorto: other than that, it doesn't matter
[07:09] <ladydoor> !offtopic
[07:09] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[07:09] <skoger> i need download edgy eft ?
[07:09] <Flannel> skoger: You want to?  and are looking for a URL? or are you asking us if you need to?
[07:10] <quandar> maquis: try doing a "sudo apt-get --purge remove imagemagik" and then a "sudo apt-get install imagemagik" (I do not know if "imagemagik is the proper name ofr that package")
[07:10] <dorto> ladydoor: so I should reinstall it(and hence gnome-games too) before doing dist-upgrade and then remove it(to remove gnome-games) after the upgrade?
[07:10] <quandar> *"imagemagik" is the proper name for that package
[07:10] <sproingie> imagemagick i believe
[07:10] <Flannel> dorto: yes
[07:10] <ladydoor> dorto: yup! if you remove gnome-games after the upgrade it'll remove ubuntu-desktop
[07:10] <ladydoor> (again
[07:10] <ladydoor> )
[07:10] <sproingie> just use aptitude and search for it
[07:10] <Linuxactivist> anybody know how to disable usb ports from the command line?
[07:11] <Linuxactivist> and then re-enable them?
[07:11] <sproingie> you could try removing the device node
[07:11] <dorto> ladydoor: ok, thanks!
[07:11] <maquis> quandar: purged
[07:11] <ladydoor> dorto: np
[07:11] <coulix>  i m playing doom3 under ubuntu  but in windowed mod the mouse doent want to get out of the doom3 window. so i cant switch to other app, any idea of how to solve this ?
[07:11] <foglight> ~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~[6~/goto now
[07:11] <foglight> oh sorry!
[07:11] <quandar> maquis: hopefully the removal of all its config files will fix this
[07:11] <sproingie> foglight:  you okay there buddy?
[07:12] <maquis> quandar: when i re-install, i still get the same problem
[07:12] <quandar> maquis: Odd... I wonder if the package has a recent update that is known to be a bug
[07:13] <maquis> quandar: i dunno
[07:13] <pradeep> how do i disable gnome splash from command line?
[07:13] <maquis> it'd be nice to be able to roll-back if that's true
[07:13] <killown> prciso de uma ajuda
[07:13] <ladydoor> pradeep: do you mean gdm?
[07:13] <quandar> maquis: Are you using Dapper? or Edgy out of curiosity
[07:13] <pradeep> ladydoor: yep, the login screen
[07:13] <dorto> can i upgrade from Dapper to Edgy using Edgy alternate cd?(without using internet for eg)
[07:13] <maquis> quandar: dapper, i think
[07:13] <Flannel> dorto: yes
[07:14] <wikijeff> How do I install the shockwave player for firefox????
[07:14] <ladydoor> pradeep: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove
[07:14] <dorto> Flannel: any wiki page for the procedure?
[07:14] <Flannel> dorto: just add the cdrom to your repository... Um, let me look.
[07:14] <maquis> quandar: i did a server-install and added stuff from there, if that makes a difference
[07:14] <Milchmann> fsck -n tells me that there are a couple of errors on my root & home partitions. what should i do next? is there a option for "scan & repair at next boot"? oder do i have to use a live-cd?
[07:14] <dorto> Flannel: then dist-upgrade?
[07:14] <ladydoor> pradeep: and if for some weird reason you wanted to boot to GDM again you could do sudo update-rc.d -f gdm defaults
[07:14] <wastrel> hi
[07:14] <quandar> maquis: hmm... you could compile and make your own package
[07:14] <quandar> quandar: its easy to do with checkinstall
[07:14] <pradeep> ladydoor: thanks i'll try that :)
[07:15] <efrancolaporte> yo how do i enable spellcheck in open office it doesnt work
[07:15] <dorto> Milchmann: you can use "Recovery Mode" boot menu option instead of a livecd
[07:15] <efrancolaporte> it only works when it has already been enabled on a file by windows
[07:15] <ladydoor> pradeep: cool. i assume you know startx is the command to, well, start x
[07:15] <Flannel> dorto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EdgyUpgrades
[07:15] <Milchmann> dorot, can i use fsck on my root partition when in recovery mode?
[07:15] <maquis> quandar: i'll look into how to do that
[07:15] <maquis> thanks for the help
[07:15] <Flannel> dorto: there's a section in there re: alternate.  Yeah, basically, just apt-cdrom and dist upgrade (make sure you have your appropriate -desktop meta package)
[07:16] <efrancolaporte> Help?????
[07:16] <jkcashin> Is it OK to just jump in here and ask for help, or should I somehow queu up?
[07:16] <dorto> Flannel: great! never knew the page covers the cdrom option too :) thx
[07:16] <Vuen> what's up #ubuntu, i'm having trouble running dosemu
[07:16] <maquis> efrancolaporte: what?
[07:16] <efrancolaporte> why doesnt my spellcheck work unless i create a .doc from windows
[07:16] <maquis> huh?
[07:16] <Vuen> i ran: sudo apt-get install dosemu dosemu-freedos xfonts-dosemu
[07:16] <Milchmann> just ask jkcashin
[07:16] <maquis> in openoffice?
[07:16] <quandar> maquis: http://www.imagemagick.org/script/install-source.php#unix just skip "make install" and do a "sudo apt-get install checkinstall" and a "checkisntall" and it should guide you from there
[07:16] <efrancolaporte> open office doesnt enable spellcheck on files it creates
[07:16] <Vuen> but when i run dosemu, i get an error about page file something
[07:16] <Vuen> what's the deal?
[07:16] <maquis> quandar: thanks
[07:16] <efrancolaporte> it only has spellcheck on files created by microsoft office
[07:16] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: try installing abiword and see if the spellcheck in that works.
[07:16] <Linuxactivist> wikijeff, there is no shockwave player for linux... just flash
[07:17] <tritium> quandar: imagemagick is in the repos
[07:17] <efrancolaporte> why does the spellcheck works for windows files in open office then
[07:17] <tritium> !repeat
[07:17] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[07:17] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: *shrug*.
[07:17] <quandar> tritium: yes, but her appaers to a have a problem with the version in it
[07:17] <jkcashin> Milchmann, thanks. I have a fresh install of Ubuntu, never used it before, complete Ubuntu noob, but been using Linux for years...
[07:17] <quandar> *appears
[07:17] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: and if you're responding to someone, please call them out like i just did you.
[07:18] <efrancolaporte> ladydoor: sorry
[07:18] <jkcashin> So.. in the upper right there is a Software Updates tool, but how do I enable it? It says I have a pile of updates available
[07:18] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: no worries.
[07:18] <wastrel> jkcashin:  the orange asterisk thingy?
[07:18] <jkcashin> wastrel, yes.
[07:18] <jkcashin> I have right clicked all the options... nothing.
[07:18] <wastrel> jkcashin:  double-click it it should open up update manager
[07:19] <wastrel> maybe single click
[07:19] <efrancolaporte> ladydoor: i dont want to install abiword i already have too much linux junk on my pc, soon ill have more trash than i have on windowsXP
[07:19] <jkcashin> wastrel: Nope.. doesn't seem to do anything.
[07:19] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: well, abiword is lightweight. and you can uninstall it in a minute--i just want to see if it's some spellchecker-backend problem or an openoffice problem
[07:19] <wastrel> jkcashin:  i assume you're comfortable at the command line?    sudo aptitude upgrade  should do the same thing.
[07:19] <efrancolaporte> fine ill install it
[07:20] <jkcashin> Wastrel: yep.. completely. I will try that
[07:20] <wastrel> !aptitude
[07:20] <ubotu> aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT, like apt-get. However, aptitude can remember the dependencies installed with a package and remove them if you uninstall. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptitudeSurvivalGuide
[07:20] <hearsay> I've seen it several times now: when I boot the computer the mouse does not work. init 6 brings it to work, but Ctrl-Alt-Backspace doesn't.  Any hints?
[07:20] <hearsay> there's no warning or error concerning the mouse in Xorg.0.log
[07:20] <tony_> !sourcetree
[07:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sourcetree - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:21] <jkcashin> wastrel: Doesn't seem to be doing anything. ps doesn't show aptitude running either.
[07:22] <efrancolaporte> ladydoor: yes spellcheck works in abiword
[07:22] <J-_> when trying to install inkscape .44, I ./configure , then make, then i get "make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop." what can i do to install the program?
[07:23] <wastrel> well that's weird isn't it.
[07:23] <jUggERNAUt1980> what is the config command to configure a wireless card again, I'm gonna write it down for reference for now?
[07:23] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: ok, it sounds like an openoffice problem. I'd try first killing and then restarting openoffice and trying again, and then if that doesn't work, i'd look in aptitude/synaptic/adept/apt-cache search for any openoffice packages dealing with spellchecking and reinstalling them
[07:23] <Flannel> J-_: you have build-essential yet?
[07:23] <THX-1138> tony !info<package>     ?
[07:23] <J-_> i'm not too sure, let me check
[07:24] <wastrel> jkcashin:   make sure you don't have a CD line in  /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:24] <jkcashin> wastrel: I tried su'ing, instead of sudo'ing... it seems to be working now. Seems like maybe I am not in sudoers?
[07:24] <efrancolaporte> ladydoor: well i restarted my PC several times so its not that...
[07:24] <J-_> Flannel: yes i do
[07:25] <wastrel> jkcashin:  the first user created during install is setup in the admin group and has full sudo access
[07:25] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: restarting the computer is generally unhelpful. in linux it's only necessary for some types of new hardware and for kernel upgrades.
[07:25] <efrancolaporte> ladydoor: where exactly should I look for / try to reinstall the packages?
[07:25] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: in whichever package manager you use
[07:25] <efrancolaporte> (i restarted my PC i meant i shut it off  and booted it the next day)
[07:25] <wastrel> jkcashin:  if you're not in the admin group that may have been the prob
[07:25] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: ah, i see
[07:25] <jkcashin> wastrel: good info. No CD in sources.list. I will check admin group. Thanks.
[07:26] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: so just search in whatever package manager you prefer or do an apt-cache search for openoffice
[07:26] <jUggERNAUt1980> can anyone tell me the command to see how to config all the different settings on your wireless card, so you see all the commands you can do to set it up?
[07:26] <ladydoor> jUggERNAUt1980: man iwconfig, maybe?
[07:26] <efrancolaporte> ladydoor: ok im in the Synaptic Package Manager, what should I look for?
[07:26] <Hammad> who here knows a bit about Mepis
[07:27] <jUggERNAUt1980> yeah, that's the one thanks, gonna write it down for now
[07:27] <tritium> Hammad: wrong channel ;)
[07:27] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: anything relating to openoffice & spellchecking. i don't really know too much about openoffice, sorry
[07:27] <tonyyarusso> How to use VNC to access a Windows computer?
[07:27] <Hammad> tritium - direct me to Mepis channel please
[07:27] <jkcashin> wastrel: seems I am not in the admin group. I am in adm.
[07:27] <efrancolaporte> well i found a SHITLOAD of stuff for "open office" (several hundreds)
[07:28] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: hundreds? i think not. perhaps add "spell" to your search. also, don't curse, please.
[07:28] <tony_> I found a program that i want to install, the instructions start with, To install Nicotine, from the source tree run: python setup.py install --prefix=<dir> ... what is the source tree.. and what should I specify as the installation directory
[07:28] <jkcashin> wastrel: There is no group admin. Do you mean adm?
[07:28] <tritium> Hammad: I'm not affiliated or familiar with their channel
[07:28] <HanzZ> hi... i have ubuntu edgy installed and i want to use python-xlib, but the package doesn't contain modules for python (http://packages.ubuntulinux.org/cgi-bin/search_contents.pl?searchmode=filelist&word=python-xlib&version=edgy&arch=all). Is it bug or something different?
[07:28] <wastrel> jkcashin:  this is the line in my /etc/sudoers   %admin ALL=(ALL) ALL    the group is admin.
[07:28] <aSt3raL_> how do you change firefox to ipv4?
[07:28] <pradeep> ladydoor:(about gdm) that worked! ... but now how can i get into gnome desktop?
[07:29] <ladydoor> pradeep: startx
[07:29] <Flannel> HanzZ: #ubuntu+1 for edgy support
[07:29] <tritium> sudoers file should not be edited.  Add users to the admin group instead.
[07:29] <efrancolaporte> i really am finding 500+ packages
[07:29] <ladydoor> pradeep: i believe that without an xinitrc, you boot, by default, to gnome
[07:29] <HanzZ> Flannel: thx :)
[07:29] <wastrel> jkcashin:  i'm not sure what part of the install process does this but that's how it's supposed to be set up :]
[07:29] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: did you narrow it like i suggested?
[07:29] <aSt3raL_> anyone know what to type in firefox to get the config?
[07:29] <efrancolaporte> ladydoor: i reall am finding 500+ packages for "openoffice spell"
[07:29] <feet> hey. im trying to repair a botched grub setup. but it keeps complaining that it cant find the bios drive for /dev/evms/hdb ... what could be causing that??
[07:29] <jkcashin> wastrel: Weird, no such line in my sudoers, and no group admin in /etc/groups.
[07:29] <Flannel> aSt3raL_: about:config you mean?
[07:29] <ladydoor> aSt3raL_: about:config
[07:30] <wastrel> jkcashin:  what version of ubuntu did you install?
[07:30] <jkcashin> tritium: There is no admin group on this install.
[07:30] <tritium> jkcashin: say what?
[07:30] <Flannel> jkcashin: sounds like the installer didn't finish
[07:30] <tritium> agreed
[07:30] <vickythedoc> hi, what can i use to avi files?
[07:31] <jkcashin> wastrel: 10.1  I believe
[07:31] <aSt3raL_> thanks
[07:31] <ladydoor> pradeep: but you can look in /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop to see the command used to start gnome and then put an "exec thatcommand" at the end of your ~/.xinitrc
[07:31] <vickythedoc> view*
[07:31] <jkcashin> tritium: yep, no admin
[07:31] <wastrel> jkcashin:  lsb_release -a
[07:31] <feet> vickythedoc: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestictedFormats
[07:31] <Hammad> who uses konqueror
[07:31] <vickythedoc> i know but is there any where around that feet?
[07:31] <Hammad> whats the top most tab in the sidebar
[07:31] <Flannel> Hammad: you might try #kubuntu, they do ;)
[07:31] <jkcashin> 5.10, breezy
[07:31] <dorto> Hammad: kubuntu users
[07:31] <feet> no
[07:31] <feet> you cant view files without the codecs
[07:32] <feet> unless you use vlc media player
[07:32] <Hammad> ty
[07:32] <tritium> jkcashin: something is quite wrong with there not being an admin group
[07:32] <vickythedoc> how can i get vlc?
[07:32] <feet> grab it with synaptic
[07:32] <feet> or adept, whichever
[07:32] <dorto> vickythedoc: search it in synaptic
[07:32] <vickythedoc> im a newbie feel, can you say that in english :-s
[07:32] <feet> haha
[07:32] <feet> thats ok
[07:33] <jkcashin> tritium: Yep, there's an lpadmin, but nothing else matching admin (grep admin /etc/group)
[07:33] <feet> i would just grab the codecs from that wiki page, much easier
[07:33] <tritium> jkcashin: fresh install?

[07:34] <efrancolaporte> ladydoor: is there any way i can post my problem somwehre effective? I HAVE NO IDEA why spellcheck doesnt work
[07:34] <efrancolaporte> the language can and is set in the open office options
[07:34] <hearsay> vickythedoc: avi is no format at all, it's a container
[07:34] <jkcashin> tritium: very! less than 1.5 hours ago. I am a Gentoo user but doing an install on a new PC and thought I would give Ubunto a whirl
[07:34] <efrancolaporte> and the spellcheck works if I open a .doc created my Microsoft Word so why not open office documents
[07:35] <efrancolaporte> ladydoor: and im googling for people having my problem and i cant find aything
[07:35] <vickythedoc> erm ok hearsay, how do i make it play though
[07:35] <tritium> jkcashin: any reason you didn't try the latest stable release, or even the development release?
[07:35] <ladydoor> efrancolaporte: well, unless you get some error or other, nobody will be able to help you. however, you should perhaps search on the ubuntuforums, and if you don't find anything, post there.
[07:35] <vickythedoc> fell it says that page is not there yet
[07:35] <jkcashin> tritium: Only because I happened to have an install CD given me by a friend.
[07:35] <feet> oh
[07:35] <feet> unusual
[07:35] <tritium> jkcashin: might I suggest you try 6.06.1?
[07:36] <jkcashin> OK, I think I'll just download it and burn it. There's nothing on this machine to lose right now. Thanks for the help. I'll be back ina few hours ;-)
[07:36] <feet> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats should work

[07:38] <mini> when I install nv drive,my computer always dead
[07:38] <mini> anyone help me?
[07:39] <Buglouse> can anyone give me advice with the LiveIce plugin? I'm trying to connect to a ShoutCast Server. I have all the info correct, but when i enter in port 8000, the player just plays and doesn't activate on the Stream. When I switch to port 8001, XMMS freezes, connects to stream, but doesn't play anything and forces me to kill it.
[07:39] <tritium> jkcashin: best of luck to you
[07:41] <mini>  I installed nv drive,when the window of software maximization,my computer was dead
[07:41] <THX-1138> mini - i missed the question. - sorry - "nv" ??
[07:41] <hearsay> vickythedoc: depends on what's in it: mpg, divx, or whatever:  xine, mplayer, vlc, or kaffeine, and most probably w32codecs
[07:41] <mini> THX-1138: sorry,nvidia drive
[07:41] <dorto> "nv" driver for nvidia mini wants to say perhaps
[07:42] <mini> and when I changed the windows' size,it was dead too.
[07:42] <mini> ya
[07:42] <THX-1138> mini - display driver nVidia - okay. sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg nvidia-xconfig  or apt-get nvidia-xconfig or see ubotu
[07:43] <THX-1138> !display
[07:43] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[07:43] <jkcashin> Thanks tritium, and the others who helped me too: milchmann, wastrel, flannel

[07:45] <THX-1138> mini - that is always good to hear.

[07:46] <dorto> it selects vesa driver by default I guess
[07:46] <mini> THX-1138: no,the nv drive worked,but always dead
[07:46] <dorto> when I select "nv" by doing dpkg-reconfigure for X, I get the X without any problems
[07:46] <mini> my computer always dead
[07:46] <dorto> that info was for chuckyp btw -----^^
[07:47] <chuckyp> dorto: was it working for you before?
[07:47] <dorto> chuckyp: it worked very well with 5.10
[07:47] <THX-1138> more info mini - i am a bit sleepy and missed your description.
[07:47] <dorto> sorry, don't remember the version
[07:47] <mini> THX-1138: my card is nvidia mx 440
[07:48] <dorto> yeah, Breezy/5.10 worked well
[07:48] <dorto> no reconfiguration for X was needed
[07:48] <mini> I just installed ubuntu on this computer,had not yet installed linux before
[07:48] <THX-1138> mini - Did you need the "Legay" nvidia driver for that card?
[07:49] <THX-1138> legacy
[07:49] <mini> I installed wasn't it
[07:50] <chuckyp> dorto: you need to install the nvidia drivers have you done that?
[07:50] <mini> THX-1138: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8762/README/appendix-a.html

[07:53] <ladydoor> chuckyp: look for BashBurn on google
[07:54] <ladydoor> chuckyp: it's a great all-around CD-burning program
[07:54] <wastrel> bashburn good name
[07:55] <THX-1138> mini -  i would try nvidia-xconfig if sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is giving you trouble.
[07:55] <ladydoor> wastrel: yeah, but unfortunately, it's not in the repos. but luckily, it's not hard to install.
[07:55] <THX-1138> mini - thanks for the link. - i hadn't seen it.
[07:57] <THX-1138> mini - from the command line you have "w3m" for a web browser and irssi for irc  wget will download any file you need.

[08:03] <james296> hey does anyone know what date Edgy Eft will be released???
[08:03] <mnepton> oct 26
[08:03] <chuckyp> zennix: you could just hit alt+F2 and type in xkill and then a little skull will pop up just click on the dead app
[08:03] <james296> dang...
[08:03] <THX-1138> ladydoor - erm - yes. - comepletly frozen machines require a reboot or a miracle.
[08:03] <james296> grrrrr

[08:04] <james296> hopefully it will be worth the wait

[08:04] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[08:04] <mini> THX-1138: i can't solve my problem yet.
[08:04] <ladydoor> THX-1138: well, right, but apparently the problem is just that the person doen't know how to switch to another desktop
[08:04] <gtc> Is there a target date for the next Ubuntu release?
[08:04] <chuckyp> !edgy
[08:04] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule

[08:06] <shasbot> my cursor is frequently losing most of its functionality and i dont know where to even look for the cause of the problem, can anyone help me?
[08:06] <chuckyp> zennix: did you try pushing alt+f2 then type in xkill hit enter  a skull shoudl come up and just click on the app
[08:06] <mini> THX-1138 i installed nvidia-glx linux-restricted-modules686 first,then do " nvidia-xconfig"
[08:07] <mnepton> AlexC: insert the CD, start the package manager, use it to install kubuntu-desktop.
[08:07] <mini> when i restarted my computer,the nv driver carded seems worked,but my computer always dead
[08:07] <THX-1138> mini - Any other info might help. not seeing what you are seeing. - sounds like /etc/X11/xorg.conf is misconfigured. - the info !display or nvidia-xconfig should fix that.
[08:07] <rredd4> ladydoor  cntrl  alt escape  also brings up the skull!
[08:08] <chuckyp> rredd4: it does?
[08:08] <rredd4> it does on my computer
[08:08] <AlexC> mnepton: how do i use it?
[08:09] <mnepton> AlexC: lots of lotion and a gentle, circular rubbing motion
[08:09] <mnepton> oh, did you mean the package manager or the CD or what?
[08:09] <zennix> THX-1138 i did it
[08:09] <AlexC> mnepton: lol, no really
[08:09] <THX-1138> zennix - cool! :)
[08:09] <mnepton> AlexC: no, really. what do you mean by "it?"
[08:09] <mini> THX-1138: the xorg,conf was generated automated,and i had modified it as  other lectures
[08:09] <zennix> now how do i get back to gui
[08:10] <AlexC> mnepton: both
[08:10] <ladydoor> rredd4: what skull?
[08:10] <THX-1138> mini - ok, so far so good.
[08:10] <AlexC> mnepton: how do i use synaptic so it looks in the cd?

[08:10] <mnepton> AlexC: uhhh ... i have minutes, not hours, for this stuff ;)
[08:10] <AlexC> mnepton: lol
[08:10] <mnepton> AlexC: you put the CD in and choose "start package manager"
[08:10] <THX-1138> mini - you have the info for irssi if your desktop disappears right?
[08:11] <rredd4> ladydoor   when i do control alt escape, a skull comes up to kill the app that i click on.
[08:11] <ladydoor> rredd4: really? weird
[08:11] <AlexC> mnepton: thanks
[08:11] <ladydoor> rredd4: why not just do killall in a terminal?
[08:11] <DrZeus> hi all.  Question: how do I run a .bin installer?
[08:11] <mini> THX-1138: what?
[08:11] <ladydoor> rredd4: actually, nevermind. whatever you prefer
[08:11] <THX-1138> mini - "VESA" nearly always works. - selecet that temporarily if neede.
[08:12] <DrZeus> how is it done for installing .bin packages?
[08:12] <HeathenDan> i like that skull, it makes stopping bad apps easy
[08:12] <rredd4> ladydoor  many ways to do the same thing!
[08:12] <ladydoor> rredd4: indeed.
[08:13] <shasbot> gnome seems to keep losing functionality on me, the cursor can still move but it can only interact with one window, and none of the keyboard shortcuts appears to be working
[08:13] <rredd4> ladydoor   i am still learning commands in terminal, windows, mac got me used to gui
[08:13] <shasbot> anyone have any idea what could be causing my problem?
[08:13] <ladydoor> rredd4: fair enough.
[08:13] <CorpseFeeder> I am using a Pinnacle DC10+ motion Jpeg analogue video capture card (zoran chipset). VLC capture is just giving me a blank black video file. What do I do?
[08:14] <zennix> how do i get back gui now im in cli
[08:14] <chuckyp> zennix: in cli?  in virtual terminal you mean?

[08:17] <THX-1138> ladydoor - I trust you. - can i ask a favor? - Would you help mini?   ( i need a little rest.)
[08:17] <shasbot> chuckyp: the cursor will have a mind of its own at times and just flourish about the screen
[08:17] <shasbot> sometimes it does that and then starts working again
[08:17] <ladydoor> THX-1138: what's the person's problem? i don't think i knew what the deal was
[08:17] <THX-1138> my apologies mini. - i am falling asleep.

[08:19] <AlexC> when i downloaded the kubuntu alternative cd i burnt it so that it was a file not the actual cd, how do i get synaptic to look at that file instead of looking at the cd ?(if that makes sence)
[08:19] <ladydoor> mini: i'm really sorry, but i'm afraid i'm not familiar with graphics card issues...you might try posting on the forums...i'm really sorry, but it's also been a very long day for me
[08:19] <XiXaQ> AlexC, you mean you want to mount the iso file as a cd-rom?
[08:19] <mini> ladydoor: thanks
[08:19] <ladydoor> mini: good luck :-/
[08:20] <AlexC> XiXaQ: yes(i think)

[08:22] <rredd4> yes
[08:22] <radone> Is it possible to create script that will run 'dhclient' and will not be requiring any password?
[08:23] <radone> inserting password into this script i guess is not good idea
[08:23] <rredd4> if install lamp server, i cannot ssh into it as admin?
[08:23] <XiXaQ> radone, most startup scripts are run as root. They don't require you to type in your password.
[08:25] <radone> XiXaQ: the problem if my mum forgets to start modem before starting computer the only way to make Internet working is to resytart
[08:25] <radone> restart
[08:26] <XiXaQ> why?
[08:26] <jimdaniels> radone: that's strange
[08:26] <DemisM> when i install an application i see a bunch of other deps being installed and what not... when I remove the app i don't see these deps uninstall how do I know what deps have been installed and how can i remove them?
[08:26] <jimdaniels> maybe you can upload your settings to the pastebin so we can check them
[08:27] <mckinnoj> does anyone in here use 3ddesktop
[08:27] <ArrenLex> radone: ifdown -a and ifup -a doesn't work?
[08:27] <mckinnoj> i have a couple of questions about it
[08:27] <jimdaniels> mckinnoj: join #ubuntu-xgl and i will answer them
[08:29] <radone> ArrenLex: permission denied
[08:31] <SuperMiguel> there is any gui for the ubuntu server?
[08:31] <ArrenLex> SuperMiguel: you can install whatever GUI you like.
[08:32] <aeroSoul> no
[08:32] <rredd4> is there ssh in lamp?
[08:32] <ArrenLex> radone: run with sudo, then.
[08:32] <XiXaQ> SuperMiguel, which server are you referring to?
[08:32] <SuperMiguel> ubunu server :A
[08:32] <SuperMiguel> ubuntu*
[08:32] <CorpseFeeder> where can I find help on making capture card work? forum search for "dc10+" or "dc10 plus" gives 3 threads, all equally useless.
[08:33] <mnepton> SuperMiguel: "server" and "GUI" are usually mutually exclusive terms ;)
[08:33] <jimdaniels> i hope you know that you don't have xgl but something else installed? 3ddesktop isn't an x server it's only a desktop switcher
[08:33] <SuperMiguel> i haven an PIII with 256 ram
[08:33] <SuperMiguel> and i want to make it a server
[08:33] <DemisM> How can I change my window manager?
[08:33] <SuperMiguel> can i use the normal ubuntu
[08:33] <SuperMiguel> or do i have to use the ubuntu server
[08:33] <DemisM> Like if I download fluxbox how do I remove gnome?
[08:33] <mnepton> SuperMiguel: use the server version
[08:34] <ArrenLex> SuperMiguel: ubuntu server is just ubuntu without GUI packages. You can install them later and make yourself a regular ubuntu.
[08:34] <mnepton> SuperMiguel: servers should not have GUIs except when absolutely necessary
[08:34] <ArrenLex> SuperMiguel: for a low-end box, I recommend xubuntu. It has a lightweight GUI.
[08:34] <SuperMiguel> the only difference between ubuntu server and ubuntu normal is that the normal ubuntu havegui?
[08:34] <aeroSoul> my server has a gui... remote desktop (vnc) is often more comfortable than just ssh
[08:34] <ArrenLex> SuperMiguel: yes.
[08:35] <SuperMiguel> xubuntu is a server base ubuntu?
[08:35] <mnepton> SuperMiguel: and GUI apps like OpenOffice and Firefox and what-not
[08:35] <SuperMiguel> umm
[08:35] <mnepton> SuperMiguel: just use the server version of Ubuntu
[08:35] <jimdaniels> DemisM: did you simply try installing it?
[08:35] <ArrenLex> SuperMiguel: xubuntu is ubuntu base + xfce packages. "Ubuntu" is ubuntu base + gnome packages. "Kubuntu" is ubuntu base + kde packages. "Ubuntu server" is ubuntu base without any gui packages.
[08:35] <SuperMiguel> but there is any way to get a minimal gui?
[08:36] <mnepton> SuperMiguel: why do you need a GUI on a server?
[08:36] <XiXaQ> SuperMiguel, on that machine, if you want to have a GUI, then you should use xubuntu
[08:36] <ArrenLex> SuperMiguel: sure. icewm and fluxbox are both pretty minimal. twm is very, very, very minimal. xfce is quite light but more full-featured.
[08:36] <SuperMiguel> is xfce good?
[08:36] <J-_> mnepton: i installed ubuntu on a server (so i could configure it) and it still didn't work :S lol
[08:37] <mnepton> J-_: works fine for me :)
[08:37] <XiXaQ> SuperMiguel, it
