[03:02] <sethk> aeroSoul, it's possible, but only one of many possibilities.
[03:02] <werner_> I have a portable WD USB-disk, but it wont show up when I plug it in on my laptop (ubuntu 5.10), but it has no problems when I connect it to my stationary (ubuntu 6.06). Are there any packages I can install to make it work on my laptop?
[03:03] <screechingcat>  i changed a setting in gconf editor and now, every second restart my panel (which i use as a dock) goes to the centre of the screen and becomes unmovable. the setting i changed was the autohide_size value. i changed it so that that little bit dosent stick out when it is set to autohide. anyone having this problem ?
[03:03] <aeroSoul> the vesa driver is a standard driver which should work with every gfx card... that's why i told him to select vesa
[03:03] <oskude> werner_: dunno if breezy had automount for usb disks... you may have to mount it manually...
[03:03] <Ramunas> anybody here using xchat with Opera?
[03:03] <sethk> aeroSoul, ok, if this should turn out to have anything to do with gfx, that may work.
[03:03] <bayzider> aeroSoul: what do i do at this screen http://img180.imageshack.us/img180/5217/screenshotyr3.png
[03:03] <oskude> Ramunas: xchat with opera ? how does that work ?
[03:04] <screechingcat> oskude, i think its a plugin
[03:04] <oskude> OMG
[03:04] <Ramunas> oskude: you click on link in xchat and it opens in Opera
[03:04] <Rambo3> Ramunas, you mean irc
[03:04] <aeroSoul> bayzider: it's irrelevant what you type there
[03:04] <Windwalker78> Please help on the post http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=274764&highlight=8139
[03:04] <Ramunas> Rambo3: no
[03:04] <unres> i have a DWL-122 USB wifi adapter, it appears as Wlan0 but there is also a wmmaster0-00
[03:04] <werner_> oskude, thanks.
[03:04] <Dsbeerf> hi, someone can take a look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26423/ and tell me what wrong mplayer is not in repos when i do apt-get install mplayer :( i alrealy enable multiuniverse etc and i does apt-get update too what wrong ?
[03:04] <bayzider> aeroSoul: so just press enter?
[03:04] <unres> any idea how to use this devicee?
[03:04] <aeroSoul> bayzider: you can press enter or type anything you want
[03:04] <oskude> Ramunas: aaah, lol... hmm, look in options
[03:05] <Ramunas> oskude: well the problem is that it does't work as it should
[03:05] <screechingcat> Ramunas, but there is an IRC prog built right into Opera that is very decent
[03:05] <oskude> Ramunas: wait, i got option "open link in opera" when i right click on a clink in xchat
[03:05] <bayzider> aeroSoul: what is my video card bus identifyer?
[03:05] <aeroSoul> bayzider: enter :)
[03:05] <aeroSoul> should work
[03:05] <oskude> Ramunas: and that seems to work here
[03:05] <Ramunas> screechingcat: I know that, I'm Opera user
[03:05] <bayzider> AEROsOUL: how much memoery does my vdieo card need
[03:06] <aeroSoul> bayzider: also a question where i press enter since years...and it works for me
[03:06] <aeroSoul> for many gfx cards
[03:06] <Ramunas> oskude: it works, but if I set xchat to open links with just single left click on link, it doesn't work
[03:06] <screechingcat> Ramunas, well y mess around with Xchat when everything is so tightly integrated then ?
[03:06] <Ramunas> screechingcat: Opera's IRC client lacks some important features, like ignore, and logging, and few more
[03:06] <bayzider> aeroSoul: use kernal framebuffer interface yes or no
[03:07] <oskude> Ramunas: well, dunno about that...
[03:07] <aeroSoul> bayzider: i would first select no to rule that out as an error... might get a better perfomance if you select yes
[03:07] <screechingcat> Ramunas, ahhh . . . . i wouldnt kno. im a firefox + gaim + xchat addict
[03:07] <aeroSoul> but it confused my radeon some years ago so i select no there..
[03:07] <bayzider> aeroSoul: auto detect keybored lay out?
[03:07] <Ramunas> screechingcat: I'm Opera + gaim + xchat :P
[03:07] <aeroSoul> bayzider: yes
[03:08] <Xinos2> Does anyone know a good windows suport channel?
[03:08] <Dsbeerf> hi, someone can take a look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26423/ and tell me what wrong mplayer is not in repos when i do apt-get install mplayer :( i alrealy enable multiuniverse etc and i does apt-get update too what wrong ?
[03:08] <screechingcat> Xinos2, #windows ?
[03:09] <screechingcat> Xinos2, or 1-800-MICROSOFT
[03:09] <Xinos2> screechincat, it can't be that simple!
[03:09] <bayzider> aeroSoul: it is asking me to select my keybored model what do i type
[03:09] <Xinos2> microsoft ruined my computer in the first place
[03:09] <oskude> Ramunas: maybe you have to edit System > Preferences > Preferred Applications > Web Browser (maybe xchat uses the system default browser)
[03:09] <screechingcat> Xinos2, often the simplest answer is the best one
[03:09] <aeroSoul> bayzider: press enter and hope it works =)
[03:09] <Xinos2> dejavu, I know I read this chatlog before
[03:09] <aeroSoul> Dsbeerf: what do you see when you type "apt-cache search mplayer"?
[03:10] <Ramunas> oskude: already tried that, it still Opens it in the current tab, not in new tab as it should
[03:10] <aeroSoul> Dsbeerf: does it list some mplayer* packages?
[03:10] <screechingcat> Rambo3, that's opera's fault and not Xchat's
[03:10] <oskude> Ramunas: well, that seems like problem of opera, so you tell opera to open new tabs...
[03:10] <screechingcat> Ramunas,  that's opera's fault and not Xchat's
[03:10] <bayzider> aeroSoul: what do i do at this screen http://img242.imageshack.us/img242/6117/screenshot1pq5.png
[03:11] <Dsbeerf> aeroSoul: i see just the mozilla-mplayer plugin
[03:11] <Ramunas> screechingcat: nope, that command works fine from terminal, just not from xchat
[03:11] <Capt_hook> is there any mp3 player for ubuntu?
[03:11] <aeroSoul> bayzider: leave everything as it is
[03:11] <Ramunas> Capt_hook: xmms
[03:11] <togge> i've just did a fresh install of ubuntu :) going tru this howto http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263851, but i get a few dependecie errors when trying to install nvidia-glx
[03:11] <Capt_hook> im newbie bout linux anyone can help me
[03:11] <Capt_hook> where i can download that one
[03:11] <screechingcat> Capt_hook, which one of the thousands do u want ?
[03:11] <Capt_hook> anything that cool :)
[03:11] <oskude> Ramunas: then look that you have the same command in preferred apps as you used in terminal...
[03:11] <jrib> ubotu: tell Capt_hook about mp3
[03:11] <Capt_hook> thank you
[03:12] <bayzider> aeroSoul: what video mode do i want to use?
[03:12] <Ramunas> oskude: I already checked, and in terminal it opens a new tab, though not in xchat
[03:12] <aeroSoul> bayzider: mode? what is it again? resolution?
[03:12] <bayzider> aeroSoul: yes they look like reolutions
[03:13] <aeroSoul> bayzider: it's enough to select the one you usually use... or you can select all.. doesn't really matter
[03:13] <oskude> Ramunas: well, better than mine, if i make opera preferred app (opera -newpage %s) it doesnt do anything with left click in xchat, lol
[03:13] <screechingcat> is it against the IRC code of condut to keep reposting your question if it is unanswered ?
[03:13] <aeroSoul> Dsbeerf: there is something missing in your sources.list i think
[03:14] <Ramunas> oskude: you need to enable left click on urls in xchat first
[03:14] <Dsbeerf> aeroSoul: what is ?
[03:14] <bayzider> aeroSoul: i forgot what i ussaly use but ican go find out
[03:14] <togge>  libxorg-sched-yield-hack0: Depends: xserver-xorg (>= 1:7.0.22) but 7.0.0-0ubuntu45 is to be installed
[03:14] <togge> what should i do? never used apt-get before
[03:14] <cherubiel> screechingcat: being patient is, noting else is :)
[03:14] <Ramunas> oskude: /set gui_url_mod 0 does that
[03:14] <aeroSoul> Dsbeerf: to line 2 and 3 add "universe multiverse" at the end of the line
[03:14] <screechingcat> damn it ! i thought so . . . . oh well !
[03:14] <jrib> screechingcat: no, but wait some time (10-15 minutes is good imo).  also try mailing list and forums
[03:15] <cherubiel> screechingcat: what was your problem btw?
[03:15] <screechingcat>  i changed a setting in gconf editor and now, every second restart my panel (which i use as a dock) goes to the centre of the screen and becomes unmovable. the setting i changed was the autohide_size value. i changed it so that that little bit dosent stick out when it is set to autohide. anyone having this problem ?
[03:15] <aeroSoul> bayzider: you could select 1280x1024 to 800x600
[03:15] <aeroSoul> thats standard resolutions
[03:16] <Dsbeerf> aeroSoul:working thanks
[03:16] <bayzider> aeroSoul: i tihkn it worked but i have to boo out of the live to cd to see
[03:16] <bayzider> wish me luck

[03:25] <jd_> hello, emacs, xlsfonts etc.. can not see or use the dejavu or bitstream Vera police under edgey. I read the launchpad thread about it and made the change in xorg.conf to substitute "X11/fonts" by "fonts/X11" to reflect the new edgy directory layout. But still, xlsfonts cannot see dejavu and emacs cannot use the font i told him.

[03:26] <Tussius> hey all
[03:27] <Ramunas> screechingcat: guys from #xchat told me to bug the packager, as its probably a bug in our packets
[03:27] <screechingcat> how do i enable port-forwarding on ubuntu ? is it already enabled or somethin ? or is it just not possible
[03:27] <sethk> screechingcat, neither, most likely
[03:27] <oskude> screechingcat: it is possible
[03:27] <sethk> screechingcat, if you are set up as a router, you can certainly do port forwarding using iptables
[03:28] <screechingcat> i do have a router
[03:28] <sethk> screechingcat, based on the question, though, are you sure you know what port forwarding is?
[03:28] <sethk> screechingcat, not if you _have_ a router, if you are using ubuntu as a router
[03:28] <oskude> !portforward > screechingcat
[03:28] <screechingcat> nope. but utorrent requires it.
[03:28] <bayzider> aeroSoul: nope didnt work
[03:28] <sethk> screechingcat, you need to do some reading
[03:28] <sethk> bayzider, of course.
[03:28] <sethk> bayzider, I have to go to my lab, but I'll be back in a bit.
[03:28] <bayzider> sethk: can you help me?
[03:29] <screechingcat> sethk, message recieved loud and clear

[03:31] <Snifouille> hey there :)
[03:31] <Tussius> there's utorrnet for linux?
[03:32] <screechingcat> Tussius, nope. but it runs perfectly under Wine
[03:32] <host`> does linux support netboui?
[03:32] <Tussius> ah, but why not use one the torrents for linux? Don't like them?
[03:32] <jokoon> Hello, I just want to know if there is an equivalent of foobar or winamp for ubuntu ...
[03:33] <Snifouille> Sorry to ask you, but i got problems when trying to install flash player for firefox... It tells me that the architecture x86_64-bits is not supported. Do you where i can find the good player for my platform ?
[03:33] <jokoon> And how make MP3 and AVI files readable
[03:33] <oskude> jokoon: xmms is a little like winamp
[03:33] <screechingcat> jokoon, Amarok, XMMS, Beep
[03:33] <host`> xmms looks like winamp
[03:33] <jad_jay> re hello
[03:33] <jokoon> thanks
[03:34] <host`> it's probably not the best media player though
[03:34] <Tussius> jokoon, Try amarok (I love it. I used to use foobar in windows.). http://amarok.kde.org/
[03:34] <oskude> jokoon: and xmms plays mp3s "out-of-the-box" (iirc)
[03:34] <Snifouille> host`: which player should I use ?
[03:34] <screechingcat> Snifouille, its nothing personal. Adobe just hates 64bit linux users
[03:34] <Dr_willis> I found a JavaWebstart based Media player that was nice.. but lost the url and name. :()
[03:34] <jokoon> okok
[03:34] <jokoon> What about avi files ?
[03:34] <Dr_willis> it was identical under windows/linux which is what i liked
[03:34] <Snifouille> screechingcat: lol
[03:34] <cherubiel> jokoon: mplayer :)
[03:34] <jad_jay> how is ubuntu handle the automounting in gnome? which is the command or the programm which assume all the process?
[03:34] <oskude> !avi > jokoon
[03:35] <screechingcat> jokoon, the default installed Totem will do just fine
[03:35] <Enselic> !printer

[03:35] <jokoon> some codc issue
[03:35] <host`> Snifouille, I like mplayer and vlc
[03:35] <bayzider> jokoon : vlc mediaplayer plays every form of media imaginable google it
[03:35] <jokoon> okok
[03:35] <screechingcat> Snifouille, search ubuntuforums.org. there's a guide there on howto get flash installed on 64bit systems
[03:35] <oskude> jokoon: thats cause divx is evil...
[03:35] <host`> both mplayer and vlc will play everything
[03:35] <jokoon> even subtitles ?
[03:35] <host`> from what I've seen
[03:35] <host`> !vlc
[03:35] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[03:36] <screechingcat> jokoon, subtitles too

[03:36] <jokoon> nice \_
[03:36] <Snifouille> host`: I know VLC, but i didn't know that I could use it for playing flash animation on my firefox...
[03:36] <host`> you can get vlc from the "out of the box repositories" and you have to do a little but in synaptic to download mplayer
[03:36] <screechingcat> Snifouille, he was replying to jokoon's question
[03:36] <host`> Snifouille, I don't know if vlc plays flasht hough
[03:37] <jokoon> Thanks everyone for answers :)
[03:37] <Tussius> np :)
[03:38] <Snifouille> oh okay sorry, i'm a little bit lost, (I'm french...)
[03:38] <host`> Snifouille, you asked what play, I thought you were asking the same questions as jokoon, af far as flash for 64, I don't knoqw
[03:38] <aeroSoul> bayzider: might help if you post your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:38] <Snifouille> screechingcat:  Thanks for your asnwer, I'm gonna search :):)

[03:49] <meheren> how can i make a debian package?
[03:49] <Stigi`aw> cherubiel, Wine couldn't load my app, problems with an DLL
[03:49] <jrib> meheren: checkinstall if it is just for yourself should be good enough, otherwise for the "real" way, checkout the packaging tutorial on help.ubuntu.com
[03:50] <Tussius> hey all
[03:50] <Capt_hook> KDE desktop environment?
[03:50] <jrib> ubotu: tell meheren about checkinstall
[03:50] <Tussius> I'm having a hard time getting my gfx-cards 3d accel to work
[03:50] <meheren> ok thx
[03:50] <Tussius> I've followed the instructions in the wiki as well as in the faq
[03:50] <screechingcat> how do i convert a tarball into an RPM ?
[03:51] <Capt_hook> screechingcat im on synaptic now what shud i do next?
[03:51] <oskude> screechingcat: ask red hat...
[03:51] <mjr> screechingcat, very nontrivially
[03:51] <cherubiel> screechingcat: what??
[03:51] <screechingcat> oskude, its coz then i can convert that into a deb and manage all my sutom installed (non-repo) sofware from apt-get
[03:51] <jlc> why would you turn a tarball into a rpm?
[03:52] <oskude> screechingcat: that sound like a very very bad idea...
[03:52] <kmu> screechingcat, a tarball is just a compressed bunch of files. RPM is an installer file
[03:52] <kmu> much different
[03:53] <screechingcat> kmu, but there are some guides out there which i've seen (but not understood)
[03:53] <Nem1> Is it possible to install rpm files on linux (ed)ubuntu?
[03:53] <cherubiel> screechingcat: rpms are mostly compiled sources, tarballs typically gives source files
[03:53] <screechingcat> Capt_hook, now hit settings > repositories
[03:53] <jrib> screechingcat: why would you do src -> rpm -> deb instead of src -> deb ?
[03:53] <cherubiel> Nem1: use alien to convert to .deb or use the rpm utitlity to isntll the rpm
[03:54] <screechingcat> jrib, coz i dont kno how to src > deb. i always fail no matter what
[03:54] <Nem1> oh thx cherubiel
[03:54] <jrib> Nem1: it's possible but not recommended, search for an ubuntu deb first
[03:54] <Enselic> Exactly what does it mean for Ubuntu to detect a printer automatically? On https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters it says that my printer (Epson Stylus Color 640) should be autodetected, but it neither gets autodetected nor works
[03:54] <Enselic> is there something I don't know?

[03:56] <Enselic> Does anyone here happen to have a Epson Stylus Color 640?
[03:56] <screechingcat> Capt_hook, now just tick everything you see and hit close
[03:56] <selinuxium> screechingcat: you need to compile it then. :)
[03:56] <Dr_willis> !find midi

[04:28] <Capt_hook> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[04:28] <Falstius> cd32fan, did you check out the networking in ubuntu? System->administration->networking
[04:28] <wickedpuppy> unfknblvbl, in login screen ... there is a menu called session ... change it
[04:28] <cherubiel> Capt_hook: do a sudo apt-get install
[04:28] <cherubiel> append sudo, it needs root perms
[04:28] <Capt_hook> ok
[04:28] <CromagDK> might be synaptics ? :)

[04:29] <selinuxium> hi gandolfthewizard
[04:29] <yacek19> everything points to /dev/sda1
[04:30] <selinuxium> gandolfthewizard: what is the problem
[04:30] <Capt_hook> error occurd
[04:30] <Capt_hook> :(
[04:30] <cherubiel> yacek19: do you have seperate partitions or different drives?
[04:30] <Falstius> cd32fan, I've never set up vmware in windows so I don't really know what it is supposed to look like .. it works just fine for me under linux though.  On the ubuntu side it should Just Work(tm)
[04:30] <yacek19> different drives
[04:30] <gandolfthewizard> i have been trying to install the plug-in for fire fox but it either can't find the package
[04:30] <cherubiel> yacek19: sda, sbd and so on
[04:30] <cherubiel> sdb*
[04:30] <yacek19> no sda1 only
[04:30] <yacek19> pendrive, and external drive
[04:30] <cherubiel> check sdb1
[04:30] <gandolfthewizard> i have been trying to install the java plug-in for the last 3 days
[04:31] <yacek19> one time i connect pendrive and there is /dev/sda1
[04:31] <selinuxium> cd32fan: you need to give the ubuntu VM a virtual nat'd ethercard
[04:31] <yacek19> when I disconnect pendrive there is no /dev/sda1
[04:31] <selinuxium> gandolfthewizard: which one? what os?
[04:31] <yacek19> then I connect hard drive and I again have /dev/sda
[04:31] <gandolfthewizard> ubuntu
[04:31] <yacek19> */dev/sda1
[04:31] <selinuxium> gandolfthewizard: dapper?
[04:31] <gandolfthewizard> yes
[04:31] <cherubiel> yacek19: yes, so whats the problem?
[04:32] <cd32fan> selinuxium:but what are the settings on the Ubuntu network?
[04:32] <TmWrk_Quil> i think kmaynard ditched for a bit

[04:32] <cherubiel> yacek19: are you saying you want sdb1 for the 2nd drive all the time???
[04:32] <yacek19> I would like to have different options in fstab for each drive\
[04:32] <cherubiel> glitch-: yo, wassap dude?
[04:32] <yacek19> maybe it is the solution
[04:32] <idefix> do you have to read the Linux Phrasebook from a-z before you start using linux?
[04:32] <TmWrk_Quil> cherubiel: what was all that universe stuff you were talking about earlier?
[04:32] <cd32fan> the Vmware settings are nat,and the Ubuntu are suposed to be Ethernet,right?
[04:32] <cherubiel> TmWrk_Quil: dude, paste your sources.lst in a pastebin, i'll modify that for ya
[04:33] <cd32fan> btw i dont use a router
[04:33] <segfault_> yacek19, iirc u need custom udev rules for that, if u want the drive seen as a particular dev node when connected
[04:33] <selinuxium> gandolfthewizard: sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre
[04:33] <glitch-> cherubiel:not much, just playing travian. How about yourself?

[05:00] <sooki> alright, more sound issues :P when i hit the logon screen, it'll play the drum sound(edgy) but no sounds when i actually log in, cedega and a game using oss will play sounds just fine, last time i remember having sound was when i was watching something in videolan, then came back to the computer about an hour later and realized i had no sound
[05:00] <dack> cherubiel: it's a 2 weeks old dapper installation. i didn't install, update nor change anything before this happened. today the computer booted just fine, but about an hour ago while i was surfing away with firefox, xorg refused to start new programs so i decided to reboot. during next reboot i was greeted with shell prompt...
[05:01] <bombero> hi friends
[05:01] <mahx> hello

[05:02] <Managu> berent: you might try running mplayer (or gmplayer) from a terminal window; that should let you look at any output it's giving you
[05:02] <omar> hey guys please danny500 look I have two machines here, both with kubuntu , those are connected to my modem, so they are in the network, the Ip of the other one is <IP_ADDRESS>, I want to share one folde
[05:02] <cherubiel> dack: paste your xorg.conf
[05:03] <bombero> have problem with kde (6.06), kde always try to restore old session, and start no needet programs, how can i supress it ?
[05:03] <dack> cherubiel: Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!
[05:03] <dack> Fatal server error:
[05:03] <dack> could not open default font 'fixed'
[05:03] <berent> but it needs a location also Managu
[05:03] <cherubiel> dack: thats not a problem
[05:03] <cherubiel> dack: paste xorg.conf
[05:03] <Managu> berent: A location?  Like a file to play?  Well, yes.
[05:03] <boink> damm, no video output from mplayer. that sux
[05:03] <cherubiel> dack: paste the log and the conf file contents
[05:03] <boink> the audio is working just fine. but no video output
[05:04] <berent> Managu : it says seek failed
[05:04] <dack> cherubiel: here on this channel? they're alfully long...
[05:05] <Managu> berent: try a different file
[05:05] <cherubiel> !paste
[05:05] <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)
[05:05] <cherubiel> dack: ^^
[05:05] <berent> Managu: vlc says read failed
[05:05] <Managu> berent: Sounds like a mangled file to me
[05:05] <berent> Managu : totem says check the location
[05:05] <CBSTXBill> Hi all
[05:05] <berent> ok lemme try another
[05:05] <arepie_> !xgl
[05:05] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL)  -  Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager  -  Help in #ubuntu-xgl  -  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[05:06] <dack> cherubiel: now that i started looking at the xorg.conf, there's something wrong with the font paths
[05:06] <CBSTXBill> anyone with information about Groups, please let me know... is there a paste somewhere?
[05:06] <dack> cherubiel: any idea what might have tampered with these? firefox and gaim were the only open programs at the time.
[05:06] <arepie_> im just a little bit more to make my fglrx driver perfect, it's just the OpenGL is still mesa, is there a way to change it to ATI ?
[05:06] <cherubiel> dack: your update should have added the font lines
[05:07] <dr34mc0d3r> my mail is collecting in "Maildir/new" but when i type "mail" - it always says "No Mail for USER" - how can i fix this?
[05:07] <cherubiel> dack: the apt-get update/upgrade you would've done
[05:07] <Managu> CBSTXBill: Not sure what you have in mind there.  /msg ubotu !pastebin
[05:07] <cherubiel> dack: no, nope any programs, you need root perms to edit xorg.conf
[05:08] <dack> cherubiel: i guess i'm lucky to have you on this channel and this spare PII 400MHz i'm currently on :). without these i'd be lost without a working xorg.conf i can compare.
[05:08] <Dionys> Hi, (ov511)I'm having some problems with my webcam I intalled the drivers for it and now the cam light has lightend up, but it says it cant connect to video0
[05:08] <berent> managu : but why doesn't it open from applications tab
[05:08] <bombero> have problem with kde (6.06), kde always try to restore old session, and start no more needed programs, how can i delete this session ? where is the session stored (/home/user/.kde...)
[05:08] <Managu> berent: sorry, gonna need more info than that.  Why doesn't what open from the applications tab?  When?
[05:09] <NuhC> hi
[05:09] <NuhC> any helpful soul here?
[05:09] <NuhC> i'm a super noob in ubuntu
[05:09] <berent> managu : mplayer opens with another file from command line
[05:09] <bombero> NuhC, 925 souls (;-)
[05:09] <NuhC> hi
[05:09] <NuhC> i have a question
[05:10] <berent> managu: but when i try opening it from gui it doesn't
[05:10] <NuhC> when i close apps like skype and gaim, there's supposed to end up in the system tray
[05:10] <Managu> berent: what happens when you run "gmplayer" from the command line, no files
[05:10] <NuhC> but my system tray is totally missing
[05:10] <NuhC> i can't find the app icon
[05:10] <NuhC> suggestions?
[05:11] <Nytek> lol
[05:11] <berent> managu: skin not found
[05:11] <Managu> berent: well, there's your problem.
[05:11] <cherubiel> berent: apt-get install mplayer-skins
[05:11] <NuhC> oops
[05:11] <NuhC> i'm sorry
[05:12] <berent> ok i will try it
[05:12] <yaw> bombero,
[05:12] <NuhC> suggestions for my system tray problem?
[05:12] <cherubiel> NuhC: run kicker from the command prompt
[05:12] <cherubiel> NuhC: kicker
[05:12] <cherubiel> NuhC: see what happens :)
[05:12] <jesse__> trying to upgrade hoary to breezy. What does this error mean ?(in synaptic) "
[05:12] <jesse__> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libaspell-dev_0.60.3-5_i386.deb: failed in buffer_read(fd): files list for package `kdelibs-data': Input/output error"
[05:12] <cherubiel> jesse__: looks like a mirror problem..
[05:12] <berent> managu : mplayer-skins is already there
[05:13] <bushblows> if i wanted to monitor my system but have it updated to a webpage how would i go about doing this
[05:13] <bushblows> what software would i need for ubuntu
[05:13] <jesse__> can I install other packages and just ignore this one?
[05:13] <jesse__> cherubiel :)
[05:13] <Managu> berent: sorry, don't know from there offhand.  Maybe reinstall the skins package?
[05:14] <Managu> jesse__: libaspell-dev shouldn't be too essential.  On the other hand, kdelibs-data is quite important
[05:15] <dack> cherubiel: no, the problem isn't in xorg.conf
[05:15] <SuperMiguel> : i just put my index.html on my /var/www, when i try to load the page its says that i dont have permission to see the page... what can i do??
[05:15] <Dionys> is there anybody who can help me with the webcam ? :)
[05:15] <dack> cherubiel: i just compared a working xorg.conf with the one that is not working
[05:15] <Byan> how do I unzip files?
[05:15] <black_13> what package gives me lncurses-devel
[05:15] <jesse__> cherubeil - is the package important even if I am running gnome and dont want KDE?
[05:16] <Jeepston> sup guys
[05:16] <Managu> Dionys:  Just a silly question -- does the user you're logged into have permission to use /dev/video0?
[05:16] <dack> cherubiel: i get these on my .xsession-errors: x-session-manager: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0: undefined
[05:16] <dack> symbol: g_option_context_new
[05:16] <cherubiel> black_13: libncurses5-dev
[05:16] <Managu> jesse__: Probably, yes.  If you run any kde-based program (K3b is popular, for examble), you'll need kdelibs
[05:16] <Jeepston> somebody using kde 3.5.5 on edgy?
[05:17] <jesse__> managu _ thanks.. Is then th proper course of action to try to download the package again?
[05:18] <NuhC> i'm running drapper, my system tray is missing... how do i switch it back on?
[05:18] <Managu> jesse__: that'd be the first thing I'd try.
[05:19] <binaryjay> exit
[05:19] <Dionys> Managu, normally yes :)
[05:19] <raar> Hello, I'm installing Ubuntu and I'm getting as far as the first reboot - It seems like Ubuntu doesn't rewrite the mbr properly or something, when the computer reboots without the CD, it just reboots to the already installed OS (WinXP), and when I reboot with the CD, it just starts installing ubuntu from the beginning.. Any clue what I can do?
[05:19] <Dionys> I added my user to the video group :)
[05:20] <cherubiel> dack: gtk seems to be broken, try to upgrade gtk+, pango, atk and glib2
[05:20] <Managu> Dionys: mmkay, just a thought.
[05:20] <jesse__> raar I also had the same problems
[05:20] <berent> managu: mplayer opened at last
[05:20] <Managu> berent: cool =)
[05:20] <porkpie> Hey guy's where can I find out if there is a build that support Dell Power edge 1950
[05:20] <jesse__> raar are you getting to GRUB?
[05:20] <berent> managu : reinstalled skins
[05:20] <Dionys> Managu, there wasnt a video group do
[05:20] <Dionys> till I created one :/
[05:20] <raar> Nope, I'm not getting anywhere but to windows, unfortunately
[05:20] <berent> managu : but why is dapper so different from breezy
[05:20] <dack> cherubiel: how do i do that? apt-get update says there's nothing new. can i somehow force it to reinstall these?
[05:21] <raar> jesse__: (how) Did you solve the problem?
[05:21] <berent> managu : i dont find synaptic anywhere here
[05:21] <jesse__> raar hold on a sec, I ll try to find my post
[05:21] <Managu> berent: got me.  Fairly new to dapper myself.  Oh, mmm, synaptic was on the menus last I checked
[05:21] <Managu> Dionys: mmm?
[05:21] <Guest366> Hi is anyone able to help me to configure WLAN in Kubuntu?
[05:21] <Dionys> ya :/
[05:21] <Dionys> strange eh
[05:21] <Managu> Dionys: Sorry, couldn't parse your sentence: "There wasn't a video group do"
[05:22] <Dionys> :p
[05:22] <raar> jesse__: Okay, thanks very much for the effort :)
[05:22] <berent> managu :  which menu i dont find it in system->administration nor in system-preferences
[05:22] <Dionys> I created the group video myself because I couldnt find it in the groups list
[05:22] <SuperMiguel> how cna i change folders permissions?
[05:23] <porkpie> Is there another channel that can tell me when ubuntu release's are coming up
[05:23] <Managu> berent: it's at system -> administration -> synaptic for me
[05:23] <erUSUL> SuperMiguel: RightClick in the folder choose properties
[05:23] <J-K> ok im confused, what version has xgl/compiz ??
[05:23] <Managu> Dionys: ahh, in that case the video device might not be set to be accessible by the video group
[05:23] <jesse__> raar try  http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/faqguide-all.html#id2521253 or http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Restore_Grub
[05:23] <johnb> I believe this is a question about apt-listchanges, but I'm not sure ... when I do a package update, after apt-listchanges displays the changes, I get messages about "unable to initialize frontend: Kde"
[05:23] <berent> managu : this is unfair i dont find it at all
[05:24] <SuperMiguel> erUSUL: but it tell me that i have to be root, there is any way to be root on graphucal mode?
[05:24] <Managu> Dionys: if you "ls -l /dev/video*", what do you get?
[05:24] <ianmacgregor> SuperMiguel: use gksudo:  gksudo nautilus
[05:24] <Dionys> lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root      6 2006-10-12 17:12 /dev/video -> video0
[05:24] <Dionys> crw-rw---- 1 root video 81, 0 2006-10-12 17:12 /dev/video0
[05:24] <johnb> I want to use the dialog frontend, which is what it falls back to, but I'm confused by the errors
[05:24] <raar> jesse__: The requested URL /starterguide/C/faqguide-all.html was not found on this server.
[05:24] <jesse__> raar sounds like you have no grub
[05:24] <unfknblvbl> night and thanks agian for your help people!
[05:24] <johnb> I tried dpkg-reconfigure-ing debconf and apt-listchanges, but they're both already correct
[05:25] <johnb> when I just do dpkg-reconfigure <package>, I don't get the errors
[05:25] <jesse__> raar try the 2nd link
[05:25] <erUSUL> SuperMiguel: 'gksudo nautilus' but changing permisions of system folders is not adviced...
[05:25] <Managu> Dionys: and touch /dev/video0 ?
[05:25] <J-K> he what version of ubuntu has xgl/compiz?
[05:25] <qmf> hey guys, i'm trying to play video files directly from my windows server over the network in edgy. it buffers in totem then doesn't play. any ideas?
[05:25] <raar> jesse__: Reading it, thanks very muchly :)
[05:26] <jesse__> raar good luck
[05:26] <Audimage> hello, I am trying to get a machine to connect to the network. I have the proper drivers installed, and I don't know what the problem is
[05:27] <raar> jesse__: thanks, I have the feeling I'm on the right track
[05:27] <raar> with that link
[05:27] <Dionys> nothin Managu
[05:27] <Audimage> and, im sorry...but i can't really be more specific
[05:27] <Audimage> i am pretty new to ubuntu
[05:27] <Managu> Dionys: good, just as expected.
[05:27] <erlv> look up your  DNS    setting
[05:27] <Audimage> i have the proper dns ips
[05:27] <Audimage> that i know
[05:28] <Dionys> k, what dumb thing I did this time Managu :p
[05:28] <Managu> Dionys: I suspect your drivers.  I'd take a look through the output of dmesg
[05:28] <slacktyro> hi all, i'm new at ubuntu, i used to use slackware for two years, now i'd like to try another distros
[05:28] <Managu> Dionys: no dumb thing.  Just gotta check them first (permissions, etc).
[05:28] <Dionys> euhm
[05:29] <arepie_> how to change mesa OpenGL library to ATI ?
[05:29] <Dionys> where can I paste it ?
[05:29] <Managu> !pastebin
[05:29] <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)
[05:29] <marnanel> my dapper installation (on a dell inspiron 2200) has just today started being very slow at repainting the screen. it used to be instantaneous. now it takes maybe half a second to redraw anything, top to bottom. where should I be looking to fix this?
[05:29] <Dionys> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26449/, Managu :)
[05:29] <slacktyro> i'd like to know from you, which package update method do you use?
[05:30] <Managu> Dionys: I'll take a look, but lemme warn yas, I have no experience with webcams under linux
[05:30] <marnanel> slacktyro: me? apt-get
[05:30] <bushblows> is a SCSI card hard to setup in ubuntu.
[05:30] <Dionys> oki
[05:30] <Dionys> ty
[05:30] <SuperMiguel> im getting this error Forbidden
[05:30] <SuperMiguel> You don't have permission to access /index.html on this server.
[05:30] <slacktyro> marnanel: thank you
[05:30] <berent> webcams on linux dionys ? purpose
[05:31] <Dionys> ah jff
[05:31] <Yurtle> is liblame what i need to install for soundconverter to do mp3s ?
[05:31] <Dionys> webcamming with girlfriend etc :)
[05:31] <Dionys> ^_^
[05:31] <mikefoo> Ok so I have a drive fail on raid so I mdadm --removed the drive, I rebooted and I am stuck at GRUB, how would I proceed? What am I doing wrong to replace the drive?
[05:32] <Managu> Dionys what tool are you using to test the cam?
[05:32] <Dionys> ubuntu media systems selector
[05:32] <Dionys> v4lsrc (v4l) stuff
[05:32] <marnanel> I wondered maybe whether something had changed in the X server, but there's not been any updates to it recently
[05:33] <Managu> Dionys: heh, never heard of it.  When you run it, you get...?
[05:33] <cherubiel> marnanel: whats the problem?
[05:33] <arepie_> how to change mesa OpenGL library to ATI ?
[05:33] <marnanel> cherubiel: my dapper installation (on a dell inspiron 2200) has just today started being very slow at repainting the screen. it used to be instantaneous. now it takes maybe half a second to redraw anything, top to bottom. where should I be looking to fix this?
[05:33] <Dionys> that it cannot open the device /dev/video0
[05:33] <slacktyro> i installed it some minutes ago and i think it only installed de gnome, am i wrong?
[05:33] <cherubiel> marnanel: your drivers ofcourse, did you do any apt-get upgrades?
[05:34] <Dionys> for reading and writing
[05:34] <Dionys> sorry
[05:34] <ks1> Driver "vesa" is very slow..
[05:34] <Dionys> but I did chmod 666 on it ... :/
[05:34] <Managu> Dionys: sec
[05:35] <Dionys> yaya offcourse take all the time you need :)
[05:35] <berent> which is the best place to get gaim2.0.0 3.1 beta for dapper
[05:35] <marnanel> cherubiel: nothing I can see in the last while
[05:35] <marnanel> I am using vesa. But it's always been fairly fast up till now.
[05:35] <beligum> I'm missing some source files (driver sources) in the ubuntu kernel source package; why's that
[05:36] <cherubiel> beligum: are those 3rd party drivers?
[05:36] <beligum> no, usb drivers
[05:36] <beligum> eg. I'm missing /usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.15-27-686/drivers/usb/core/hcd.h
[05:36] <marnanel> I will try switching to some other driver and see whether that improves matters.
[05:38] <slacktyro> should i trust in that package manager at gnome or it's better to upgrade through apt-get?
[05:38] <cherubiel> slacktyro: eventually uses apt
[05:38] <slacktyro> cherubiel: ty
[05:38] <cherubiel> slacktyro: all are front ends for apt, afaik
[05:39] <slacktyro> i still prefer the console mode :)
[05:39] <slacktyro> slackware put it in your blood
[05:39] <Managu> Dionys: my thought is to try running xawtv or some other v4l program against the camera to see if it'll yield more info
[05:39] <beligum> what's the difference between the official (kernel.org) kernel, and the one in repo ?
[05:40] <beligum> The source, I mean
[05:40] <cherubiel> beligum: vanilla vs stock kernel
[05:40] <beligum> not familiar with those terms
[05:41] <cherubiel> beligum: you should read up a bit.
[05:41] <berent> why does my cdrom doesn't open it gets stuck !!! any reasons apart from mechanical abrasive reactions
[05:41] <Rambo3> are they even compiled , the ones at kernel.org
[05:42] <beligum> Can I get plain vanilla from repo?
[05:42] <cherubiel> beligum: nope, you need to get them from the kernel.org mirrors
[05:43] <beligum> ok
[05:43] <beligum> :(
[05:43] <Shoiab> Hi, every one, i need help about modem.... want to know which pci modem support by ubuntu!!!! as well as need some link in that respect
[05:43] <berent> which is the best place to get gaim2.0.0 3.1 beta for dapper
[05:43] <Dr_willis> i dident think the vanilla kernels would work correctly?
[05:43] <cherubiel> berent: compile from the sources, thats the best way
[05:44] <Rambo3> i woudlent think that
[05:44] <berent> cherubiel : where are the sources
[05:44] <beligum> I need to compile a driver, but the kernel sources from the repository miss some header files
[05:44] <cherubiel> on the sourceforge gaim site
[05:45] <cherubiel> beligum: sorry i missed that again, what was the file again?
[05:45] <beligum> drivers/usb/core/hcd.h
[05:45] <cherubiel> also, if you need to build a module, get your current(uname -r) kernel sources.
[05:45] <beligum> I have
[05:45] <Rambo3> and kernel headers ?
[05:46] <beligum> well, I did a sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[05:46] <beligum> not enough?
[05:46] <Shoiab>  Hi, every one, i need help about modem.... want to know list of  pci modem support by ubuntu!!!! as well as need some link in that respect
[05:47] <Rambo3> bellgum, check you /usr/src and see that it is unpacked , simlinked and you have oldconfig
[05:47] <cherubiel> beligum: what abt the kernel sources :) ?
[05:47] <cherubiel> beligum: apt-get install kernel-source-`uname -r`
[05:48] <Rambo3> does kernel source have uname -r ?
[05:48] <Shoiab> Hi, every one, i need help about modem.... want to know list of  pci modem support by ubuntu!!!! as well as need some link in that respect
[05:48] <C-O-L-T> anybody has a Canon i250 printer that works under Ubuntu 6.06 Linux?
[05:48] <ceee> hi folks - i'm just testing if this works
[05:48] <beligum> can't find a kernel-source package ? (Am I missing something in my sources.list?)
[05:49] <cherubiel> beligum: whats the command you used?
[05:49] <beligum> apt-cache search kernel source :)
[05:49] <Rambo3> try linux-source
[05:49] <cherubiel> beligum: universe repo ?
[05:49] <beligum> aaaaaah, there it is
[05:50] <akonkwa> Does anyone know how I can mount a usb harddisk ? (I'm using breezy)
[05:50] <beligum> it's linux-source-2.6.15
[05:50] <beligum> doesn't work with uname -r
[05:50] <Rambo3> and it shouldent
[05:50] <Rambo3> headers are with uname -r
[05:50] <TheGateKeeper> akonkwa: it should automount
[05:51] <cherubiel> beligum: you could also try this package -> linux-kernel-devel
[05:51] <Shoiab> I feel that my Question is UN answerabble
[05:51] <beligum> ok, didn't know that, thanks you all
[05:51] <cherubiel> Shoiab: winmodems, read up on that.
[05:51] <HeathenDan> if it's sda1, then pmount /dev/sda1 /media/<new folder>
[05:51] <jake2> When I try to boot with the ubuntu-cd i get "Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 0" (and logical block 213123 something). I've burnt 5 CDs on the lowest speed possible and they still produce the exact same error, any ideas?
[05:52] <akonkwa> TheGateKeeper,  What do I do if it doesn't , can I do it manually ?
[05:52] <Dr_willis> hda is the hard drive isewnt it? not the cdrom?
[05:52] <jake2> yep, hda is the harddrive... :p
[05:52] <HeathenDan> akonkwa, read my post
[05:52] <Shoiab> hmm
[05:53] <jake2> Windows is working just fine etc so i doubt it's any of my hardware
[05:53] <TheGateKeeper> akonkwa: yep what HeathenDan said
[05:53] <Dr_willis> jake2,  Hmm.... the logic of that statement.. may not be  accurate. :P
[05:53] <Dr_willis> jake2,  unplug the hd - see if the live cd boots?
[05:53] <Alakazamz0r> yeah
[05:54] <jake2> Well, if linux forces me to unplug my HD I don't see why I would want to install it anyway... and on what drive would I install it then? =)
[05:54] <TheGateKeeper> HeathenDan: does hal have trouble recognising them for some people?
[05:54] <Dr_willis> jake2,  im guessing you got some oddities with the hard drive not the cdrom
[05:55] <Dr_willis> jake2, exactly when is this message showing up.. and  its making the live-cd stop booting?
[05:55] <jake2> Why would the live-cd even want to touch my HD? And the HD is working just fine, I've used chkdsk etc
[05:55] <akonkwa> HeathenDan, where can i find your post?
[05:56] <cherubiel> jake2: dude where are you getting stuck?
[05:56] <jake2> Just after i press enter on "Start Ubuntu (install)"
[05:56] <valcom> Hello
[05:56] <jake2> and then It starts to load stuff, and there is when it crashes
[05:56] <OSV> Can I check disk on bad clasters existence in Linux/Ubuntu?
[05:56] <Dr_willis> jake2,  so the Installer is crashing?
[05:56] <jake2> No, the "booter"
[05:56] <valcom> My hdd is not available at the installation, it's an western S-ATA II (PM-WDC WD2500K - S-ATA II)
[05:57] <valcom> an ideas ?
[05:57] <marnanel> props to whoever suggested switching to non-vesa, that seems to have fixed it
[05:57] <ks1> marnanel: np :P
[05:58] <Dr_willis> jake2,  could try some other live cd's or the alternative install cd. see what 'fdisk -l' says about that hard drive, and what gparted thinks of it.
[05:58] <jake2> gparted thinks its fine
[05:58] <jake2> and chkdisk in windows thinks it fine
[05:58] <jake2> i'm 99,9% sure it's no the hd
[05:58] <OSV> How can I check disk on bad clasters existence in Linux/Ubuntu?
[05:58] <ks1> jake2: how about fsck ?
[05:59] <ks1> sorry thought you were talking about the bad clusters
[05:59] <ks1> OSV: fsck
[05:59] <jake2> i'm 99,99% sure there are NO bad clusters on my HD =)
[06:00] <Courtney> jake2, all hard drives have clusters that are bad, thats why its not the full 60GB but it is really 57GB
[06:00] <OSV> ks1, shouldn't I use fsck when disk is mounted?
[06:01] <ks1> you can use to check for errors i do beleive
[06:01] <jake2> Courtney: No, that's not true
[06:01] <ks1> that is what it does at bootup
[06:01] <OSV> ah, yes?
[06:01] <Milkyy> Hi, I want to setup a LAN, but what do I do after changing IP-adresses? I want to be able to drag-n-drop etc...
[06:01] <Digital_Pioneer> Hi. I used the convert-to-Christian-Ubuntu script on my Kubuntu installation, and now my internet is messed up. Neither Konqueror nor Firefox can get online. How do I undo this?
[06:01] <OSV> it checks my disk on boot?
[06:01] <jake2> It's because manufacturers count a kb as 1000b and the computer counts it as 1024b
[06:01] <Milkyy> I have one Ubuntu comp and one Xubuntu.
[06:01] <Dr_willis> Milkyy,  huh..
[06:01] <Courtney> When I hit enter on the Ubuntu CD that I ordered and select live/install, it brings me back to the Ubuntu CD Splash screen. Why is that?
[06:02] <OSV> does it checks it for bad clusters or some other check?
[06:02] <Digital_Pioneer> Firefox says "Network connection error: Check network settings and try again."
[06:02] <Milkyy> Dr_willis:  hm?
[06:02] <black_13> !kernel
[06:02] <cherubiel> Milkyy: samba is the word.
[06:02] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[06:02] <cherubiel> !samba
[06:02] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[06:02] <Dr_willis> Milkyy,  you are a little vague  in what you are trying to do..
[06:02] <Milkyy> I'm perfectly clear. I want to be able to drag and drop stuff from one computer to another...
[06:03] <cherubiel> Milkyy: configure samba and access the shares
[06:03] <Milkyy> but I don't want to access a windows share
[06:03] <Dr_willis> then use ssh.
[06:03] <Digital_Pioneer> Konqueror says "An error occured while connecting to <url>     Could not connect to host <website>" where the items in <> are the corresponding addresses.
[06:03] <Dr_willis> or nfs
[06:03] <Courtney> or FTP
[06:03] <black_13> !kernel
[06:03] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[06:03] <Milkyy> I want to transfer stuff from a Xubuntu comp to an Ubuntu one
[06:03] <Digital_Pioneer> Looks like everything else gets online no problem.
[06:04] <jake2> So... I take it no one has any ideas then...? =/
[06:04] <cherubiel> Milkyy: you can dude.
[06:04] <Courtney> jake2, what is your issue? PM please
[06:04] <Milkyy> with Samba?
[06:04] <cherubiel> Milkyy: yeah
[06:04] <Milkyy> any good GUIs for it?
[06:05] <Milkyy> Or is it provided?
[06:05] <Dr_willis> Milkyy,  the gnome file manager has a samba browser/feature I recall
[06:05] <jhasse> Which font is used here? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/Incoming/XubuntuEdgy/Proposals?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=xubuntu-murrina.png
[06:05] <jake2> Courtney: I can't pm you because of the security...
[06:05] <Dr_willis> I perfer to mount my samba shares using smb4k
[06:05] <Courtney> jake2, what security?
[06:05] <jake2> aw 505: Private messages from unregistered users are currently blocked due to spam problems, but you can always message a staffer. Please register! ( http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#privmsg )
[06:05] <Courtney> damn
[06:05] <Milkyy> nice
[06:06] <Milkyy> Dr_willis: isn't Smb4K qt?
[06:06] <Dr_willis> Milkyy,  so? :P
[06:07] <jake2> Oh, well - The problem is: When I try to boot with the ubuntu-cd i get "Buffer I/O error on device hda, logical block 0" (and logical block 213123 something). I've burnt 5 CDs on the lowest speed possible and they still produce the exact same error, any ideas?
[06:07] <Dr_willis> Milkyy,  actually taht FuseSambaFS or FuseSSH stuff is handy as well
[06:07] <Milkyy> Dr_willis: well I prefer gtk :)
[06:07] <Dr_willis> Milkyy,  whatever. :)
[06:07] <Dr_willis> aint you just special.
[06:07] <mih> what audio-editing tool would you recommend on ubuntu?
[06:08] <Dr_willis> i still havent found a tool as good as smb4k for gnome  yet.
[06:08] <gilesw> audacity is supposed to be good
[06:08] <defrysk>   mih easytag
[06:08] <kmaynard> mih, audacity, rosegarden
[06:08] <kmu_> audacity
[06:08] <gilesw> i've not tried it out yet mind
[06:08] <bionoid> mih: I used audacity with success
[06:08] <Milkyy> firstly, I don't need to get QT. It takes up plenty of space just for that one program. Secondly I don't like trolltech so you can't convice me to get it :P
[06:08] <kmaynard> depending on the type of audo
[06:08] <mih> ok thanks guys, I'll try them out :)
[06:08] <Digital_Pioneer> Hey, I don't want to be pushy, but my web browsers not working is just a little bit annoying.
[06:08] <MaKaTiGuY> guys, can you suggest a nice address book for ubuntu
[06:08] <kmaynard> what browser
[06:08] <jerry> I'm having a devil of a time with WMV decoders. Anyone have any thoughts?
[06:08] <bionoid> Digital_Pioneer: define "not working" - and what browser
[06:09] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: Firefox and Konqueror. Both will not connect to the internet.
[06:09] <kmaynard> MaKaTiGuY, what about thunderbird or evolutions built in address books?
[06:09] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: Firefox says "Network connection error. Please check settings... etc."
[06:09] <bionoid> Digital_Pioneer: Can you connect to hosts on port 80 using, say, telnet?
[06:09] <kmaynard> Digital_Pioneer, are you using IRC on that box?
[06:09] <MaKaTiGuY> kmaynard: more simplier that those
[06:09] <Shoiab> is ant kubuntu irc chat room
[06:09] <MaKaTiGuY> kmaynard: more simplier than those
[06:09] <bionoid> Digital_Pioneer: open a terminal, type telnet slashdot.org 80
[06:10] <Shoiab> is any kubuntu Chat Room???
[06:10] <Rookie_> !kubuntu
[06:10] <ubotu> Kubuntu is Ubuntu with KDE, the K Desktop Environment. For more info see http://kubuntu.org for support: #kubuntu ; to install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[06:10] <Ng> would someone be so kind as to remind me the easy way of building extra modules, like zaptel-source that put themselves in /usr/src/modules? :)
[06:10] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
[06:10] <berent> whats missing here
[06:11] <berent> checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
[06:11] <bionoid> Digital_Pioneer: But you are IRCing from that box? or is it a different one?
[06:11] <Digital_Pioneer> kmaynard: I'm using Konversation on the box whose browsers won't go online, yes.
[06:11] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: Yes.
[06:11] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: Same box.
[06:11] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: I think it's Christian Ubuntu's web filtering junk getting in the way.
[06:12] <bionoid> Digital_Pioneer: Then there's a fair chance that either 1) you have some nasty ipchains rules on that box, or 2) there are some nasty filtering in your router. Does web work from other boxes on the same network?
[06:12] <bionoid> Er, iptables,
[06:12] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: Yes, it does.
[06:12] <bionoid> Digital_Pioneer: Type iptables -L
[06:12] <bionoid> (pastebin the output if it's long)
[06:12] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: I just installed the "Convert to Christian Ubuntu" script earlier, and my web has been messed up ever since.
[06:12] <jlc> cherubiel, i got 6.06.1 to install on my immou problem, the next kernel must have fixed it
[06:12] <Enselic> how do I find and output all files that is on the form gimp*tools.c? find . -name "gimp*tools.c" does not work (it should find gimptest-tools.c for instance)
[06:12] <berent> checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
[06:13] <berent> which package is missing here
[06:13] <OSV> is it safe to use badblock?
[06:13] <bionoid> Digital_Pioneer: Um, ok, here's some advice; keep it satanic.
[06:13] <bionoid> :P
[06:13] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: Uhh, if you want that output, I'll have to use a pastebin.
[06:13] <Rookie_> oki, av ngon annledning s lser den inte internfaces ....
[06:13] <Shaezsche> i accidently delted my xorg.conf how can i generate a new one??
[06:13] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: I think I've figured that out. ;)
[06:13] <defrysk> Shaezsche, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:14] <ianmacgregor> Shaezsche: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:14] <jerry> wmv help anyone?
[06:14] <bionoid> Digital_Pioneer: I have no clue what the christian-thing does, but presumably it considers web non-appropriate ;p
[06:14] <Dr_willis> 'friends dont let friends use wmv's"
[06:14] <defrysk> Shaezsche, also stop playing ;)
[06:14] <Shaezsche> playing?
[06:14] <jrib> Enselic: that should work, I just tried it and it found that file
[06:14] <ianmacgregor> Dr_willis: lol
[06:14] <Shaezsche> defrysk what?
[06:15] <defrysk> Shaezsche, like deleting files like xor.conf
[06:15] <defrysk> xorg.conf*
[06:15] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: Yeah, something like that. Whatever it does, it hooked me up to a proxy. I got rid of the proxy and told my system to connect directly. It doesn't seem to be listening.
[06:15] <ianmacgregor> Shaezsche: It's a good ide tomake a backup of any system file before editing it
[06:15] <Enselic> jrib: oh, yeah it worked, I should end with tool not tools though :) thanks
[06:15] <Shaezsche> oh
[06:16] <Shaezsche> there was a backup i accidently dleted that too
[06:16] <Shaezsche> how do i use a backup? just rename it?
[06:16] <ianmacgregor> Shaezsche: d'oh!
[06:16] <jerry> I am unable to play WMV files in any of the video-players.
[06:16] <ianmacgregor> Shaezsche: sudo cp file.ext file.bak.ext
[06:16] <MaKaTiGuY> can someone help me to use wine, tnx
[06:16] <defrysk> shadow`, cp file file.bac for example
[06:16] <jerry> I'm using VLC, MPlayer, KMPlayer, and Totem.
[06:17] <pike_> jerry: youve installed the w32codecs?
[06:17] <jerry> Yes.
[06:17] <killown> jerry yes install codecs
[06:17] <killown> /usr/lib/win32
[06:17] <bionoid> Digital_Pioneer: Strange eh, probably a proxy for filtering content, but then again, the fact that you can't connect to port 80 using telnet indicates some evil iptables rules - pastebin the output of uptables -F please
[06:17] <gilesw> has anyone else found audio delayed when watching vids on youtube?
[06:17] <jerry> The LAST thing for me to try...and I'm putting it off because of complexity...is compiling codecs and the latest version of mplayer myself.
[06:17] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: OK, on moment.
[06:17] <gilesw> i'm using swiftfox with the standard flash plugin
[06:18] <gilesw> 32bit bunty
[06:18] <defrysk> makers of youtube are rich now , they can delay anything
[06:18] <jerry> My eyes cross when I look at the README from the MPlayer homesite.
[06:18] <hypnox> does anyone know how i can tell the server install to install the 386 kernel instead of a 686 one?
[06:18] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: uptables does not exist. Assuming iptables; iptables -F has no output. Assuming iptables -L
[06:19] <defrysk> 386 kernel is the default one
[06:19] <hypnox> defrysk are you sure?
[06:19] <defrysk> hypnox, afaIk yup
[06:20] <hypnox> ux-image-server -> this will be installed as default on Dapper i386 server, needs i686 or higher architecture
[06:20] <beligum> I'm looking for a sexy name for the concept of linux videohelpdesking (see http://blog.beligum.org and captorials.com). Any suggestions?
[06:20] <Dr_willis> hay all - in fstab i got a -->        /dev/hda1       /media/hda1     ntfs    defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1          Question is.. What is gid=46 actually doing?
[06:20] <defrysk> hypnox, not sure about htat, sorry
[06:20] <black_13> while i am trying to build the kernel i get the following messages
[06:20] <black_13> {standard input}:720: Error: suffix or operands invalid for `mov'
[06:21] <pike_> hypnox: hmm apt-cache doesnt say if its compiled for 686 or 386..
[06:21] <Dr_willis> some how only members of a specific group can get to the mounted ntfs share?
[06:21] <flodine_> is there a irc room for edgy
[06:21] <hypnox> pike_ its supposed to autodetect the kernel but its not working for me
[06:21] <black_13> do i need ot have assembler gasm installed to build the kernel
[06:21] <Dr_willis> !edgy
[06:21] <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
[06:22] <apokryphos> Dr_willis: it's set the group id
[06:22] <prime> joined the room
[06:22] <apokryphos> if there's no group id with that number, then I suppose something might go wrong
[06:22] <pike_> hypnox: ive done server install a number of times but i never paid any attention since first thing i would do is apt-get the k7 or 686 kernel..
[06:22] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: Sorry for delay, I'm using a text-based browser and pastebin is malfunctioning... ;)
[06:23] <prime> i wasn,t able to make my midi songs run... help
[06:23] <Alakazamz0r> i Love malfunctions
[06:23] <hypnox> pike_ i am installing onto a via c3 which is 386 onl;y
[06:23] <Dr_willis> apokryphos,  yea.. i notice in /etc/group   plugdev:x:46:haldaemon,willis
[06:23] <Dr_willis> so a differnt user say 'bubba' cant access tht ntfs share then eh?
[06:23] <apokryphos> Dr_willis: that's the theory, yes.
[06:24] <anilomkar> can any one tell how to set variables in firefox???
[06:24] <prime> bye
[06:24] <Dr_willis> apokryphos,  just seems odd to use the umask and gid options -  i guess.. :) got me confused
[06:24] <arepie> !ati
[06:24] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:25] <anilomkar> can any one tell how to set variables in firefox???
[06:25] <pike_> hypnox: only thing i could think of is a livecd and copy over kernel and edit menu.lst.. sorry
[06:25] <THX-1138> about:config in the address bar
[06:25] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: OK, there's two of them (...?) on http://pastebin.com You should be able to find one.
[06:26] <TheGateKeeper> gnomefreak: a quick question if I may?
[06:27] <black_13> where would i find a guild to building the kernel for ubuntu?
[06:27] <boink> !kernel
[06:27] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[06:27] <guiton> hi everybody , i'm a french Ubuntu user and i have some problems with my hardware (sound card ,wifi)
[06:28] <alainlucas_> does someone know how to open a mdb MS Access database which encoding is BIG5 using OpenOffice ?
[06:28] <alainlucas_> actually my problem is the bad encoding when opening the database, it uses UTF8 by default
[06:29] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: Are you getting that? I'm having some trouble...
[06:29] <guiton> where can i find detailled answers for my problems
[06:29] <Shaezsche> whoever told me to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg that didnthelp. i dont know all the settigns. i want to AUTO generate the file like ubuntu did when it installed
[06:29] <bionoid> Digital_Pioneer: Ironically I can't connect to pastebin.com
[06:29] <jrib> Shaezsche: choose the default for the ones you don't know
[06:29] <Shaezsche> jrib what!?! i dont know any of them
[06:29] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: I know the feeling. Same here.
[06:29] <Shaezsche> i dont want to risk that
[06:30] <bionoid> Digital_Pioneer: would you post it to pastebin.ca instead?
[06:30] <jrib> Shaezsche: why are you reconfiguring?
[06:30] <Shaezsche> can i auto reconfigure? i mean how does ubuntu do it when it initially intalls
[06:30] <Shaezsche> jrib i dleted my xorg
[06:30] <Shaezsche> accidently
[06:30] <THX-1138> Shaezsche: nvidia-xconfig - nvidia cards
[06:30] <boink> ouch
[06:30] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: I just pasted it on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[06:30] <jrib> Shaezsche: choose the defaults, it should work
[06:30] <Shaezsche> i dont want the defaults i dont want it to merely WORK
[06:30] <Shaezsche> i want the original xorg back
[06:30] <bionoid> Digital_Pioneer: need the full url there is no list on it
[06:31] <gnomefreak> TheGateKeeper: what can i help you with?
[06:31] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: I know...  How do I extract the current URL from W3M?
[06:31] <boink> isn't linux more painful than windows?
[06:31] <bionoid> no idea.
[06:31] <FordPrefect> linux is a different kind of pain than windows
[06:31] <Digital_Pioneer> boink: Nope!
[06:31] <jrib> Shaezsche: I don't see what you lose by trying the defaults
[06:31] <boink> true .. for maximum pain you need two computers
[06:31] <Shaezsche> jrib whatever, just tell me how to get ubuntu to autodetect and set it up
[06:32] <THX-1138> Shaezsche: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - is written for ubuntu and is your best option
[06:32] <Digital_Pioneer> boink: Windoze is an evil, slow, infernal, overpriced OS. :)
[06:32] <TheGateKeeper> gnomefreak: would this --> sudo aptitude update  && sudo aptitude upgrade  give me the chance to uninstall the new update and reinstall the old one if it was borked?
[06:32] <FordPrefect> no virus scanners, better filesystem, less security holes, cheaper, better support
[06:32] <Shaezsche> cant i reinstall xorg from apt-get or something
[06:32] <FordPrefect> oh and less rebooting
[06:32] <MaKaTiGuY> can any one help me to configure my webcam?
[06:32] <gnomefreak> TheGateKeeper: no you have to install the old version
[06:32] <bionoid> Digital_Pioneer: is your box comfortably placed behind a firewall already? in that case you might want to just flush using iptables -F (that might bork something though)
[06:33] <THX-1138> MaKaTiGuY: !webcam
[06:33] <FordPrefect> windows: less sucky than X-windows (minus that thereading thing), better hardware support, probably pre-installed

[06:34] <jamx> Digital_Pioneer: did u verify the default policy for input/output chain?
[06:34] <TheGateKeeper> gnomefreak: using aptitude would allow to remove the dependencies when I com to uninstall
[06:34] <XsesA> umm i am downloading ubuntu atm, i don't know anything about linux, can any1 help me?

[06:34] <THX-1138> slackytyro - take a peek at alsamixer - it might help. - if it is scratchy sounding probably a codec problem

[06:35] <slacktyro> THX-1138: how can i take a peek
[06:35] <XsesA> plz pm if you can help me, i don't know anything about linux and i want to install it..
[06:35] <jamx> does it say policy ACCEPT or.. ?
[06:35] <monu> my machine is low
[06:35] <monu> slow
[06:35] <FordPrefect> XsesA, grab the ubuntu isos from ubuntu.org
[06:35] <DemisM> anyone get a tablet pc wokring with ubuntu?
[06:36] <XsesA> oh i do
[06:36] <Digital_Pioneer> jamx: Input Output and Forward all say policy ACCEPT
[06:36] <FordPrefect> burn the CD
[06:36] <XsesA> but i tried to read some stuff
[06:36] <FordPrefect> boot from it
[06:36] <monu> is kde good enough
[06:36] <monu> ??
[06:36] <XsesA> they talk about partitions
[06:36] <FordPrefect> double click install
[06:36] <XsesA> and something that has to be twice as the ram?!
[06:36] <FordPrefect> yeah ignore all that stuff for your first run
[06:36] <THX-1138> slackytyro - open a terminal window type alsamixer - use the arrow keys to scroll side to side
[06:36] <gnomefreak> TheGateKeeper: yes but the depends didnt cause the mess up im sure. and upgrading is just that upgrade not downgrade
[06:36] <FordPrefect> swap space
[06:36] <FordPrefect> you need 2 partitions really
[06:36] <XsesA> yeah what's that
[06:36] <FordPrefect> "/"
[06:36] <FordPrefect> and swap
[06:36] <FordPrefect> 2xram is a guideline.
[06:36] <XsesA> can we talk on pm?
[06:36] <FordPrefect> On Winblows you have a swapfile
[06:36] <slacktyro> THX-1138: i did that my friend, but now nothing is working
[06:37] <FordPrefect> On linux you have a dedicated swap partition
[06:37] <slacktyro> i installed the ubuntum one hour ago
[06:37] <XsesA> look i have a clear 55gb now
[06:37] <THX-1138> feeling adventurous? - google "linux swappiness"
[06:37] <boink> ubuntu just makes two partitions by default
[06:37] <XsesA> (still ntfs tho)
[06:37] <boink> and the swap
[06:37] <FordPrefect> XsesA okay but don't expect high throughput, I'm contributing as I go, so high latency
[06:37] <FordPrefect> XsesA are you free to delete the ntfs partition?
[06:37] <THX-1138> slackytyro - Eek! Nothing????
[06:37] <XsesA> gah can't pm
[06:37] <TheGateKeeper> gnomefreak: I am looking for a possible way to 'roleback' on those odd occasions the devs mess up and let through a borked update, it has happen twice recently
[06:37] <XsesA> yeah
[06:38] <Shaezsche> is one gig too much for a swap file
[06:38] <FordPrefect> (meaning do you have data you need to keep or do you plan to dual boot)
[06:38] <XsesA> nothing in that prations
[06:38] <XsesA> formatted it (ntfs)
[06:38] <slacktyro> THX-1138: yep
[06:38] <FordPrefect> XsesA you have to register your nick to d othat
[06:38] <orbin> Shaezsche: depedns on what you do
[06:38] <XsesA> yeah i know
[06:38] <Shaezsche> gam
[06:38] <Shaezsche> game
[06:38] <XsesA> just talk here
[06:38] <XsesA> u said u dun have time
[06:38] <XsesA> so i don't want to spend time :)
[06:38] <THX-1138> slackytyro - erm.. erm.. um-mmm - i dunno. - are all of the sliders shown?
[06:38] <s_spiff> how to edit ifconfig?
[06:38] <FordPrefect> kay...do you need your NTFS partition
[06:38] <FordPrefect> or can you blow it away?
[06:38] <XsesA> what u mean
[06:39] <XsesA> i plan to use it for the linux
[06:39] <boink> s_spiff: with an editor
[06:39] <FordPrefect> can you wipe your drive completely?
[06:39] <gnomefreak> TheGateKeeper: if your using devel/testing version i would have to say get used to it. if you are running stable there are a few ways to downgrade easist is to download package from packages.ubuntu.com and install it with dpkg
[06:39] <slacktyro> THX-1138: yep
[06:39] <FordPrefect> (you said it was still NTFS)
[06:39] <slacktyro> s_spiff: if you type man ifconfig
[06:39] <XsesA> it's 1 hard disk divided to 20gb (with the windows)
[06:39] <s_spiff> boink, command sudo gedit ifconfig will do?
[06:39] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: Sent paste to pastebin.ca.
[06:39] <XsesA> and 55gb (free, plan to put linux on it)
[06:39] <slacktyro> s_spiff: will you get all infrmation needed
[06:39] <boink> or sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces
[06:39] <FordPrefect> ah okay so I don't know about dual booting
[06:39] <XsesA> and another 250gb ntfs system...
[06:39] <FordPrefect> someone else will have to help with that (sorry)
[06:40] <boink> interfaces is where the network card stuff is stored
[06:40] <XsesA> okay
[06:40] <FordPrefect> I don't run windows
[06:40] <puff> I have a laptop with two partitions, one the OEM winxp, the second ubuntu.  I need to reinstall ubuntu.  I don't have a backup device (I'm on the road).  Is there any way I can shrink the ubuntu partition, make a third partition, copy user data over to the third partition, and then reinstall ubuntu on the second partition?
[06:40] <THX-1138> slackytyro - (Can you keep a secret? I am a refugee from AOL. only recently discovered real computing.)
[06:40] <XsesA> well anyway
[06:40] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: http://pastebin.ca/199574
[06:40] <XsesA> it shouldn't be too hard right?
[06:40] <boink> no
[06:40] <s_spiff> slacktyro, thanks. will try to figure it out.
[06:40] <XsesA> i mean like just burn and run? :|
[06:40] <boink> let's hope so
[06:40] <TheGateKeeper> gnomefreak: ohh ok thanx, well I am using stable, i.e. dapper not edge
[06:40] <FordPrefect> XsesA probably not hard at all
[06:40] <XsesA> cuz i found some stuff
[06:40] <FordPrefect> and in fact you can at least "try" ubutnu by just booting from the CD
[06:40] <XsesA> and they talk many bullshit
[06:40] <slacktyro> THX-1138: i'm using gnu/linux a little time too
[06:40] <boink> ubuntu does take much of the agony out of the install
[06:40] <slacktyro> THX-1138: be welcome :)
[06:40] <FordPrefect> you'll know if its going to be hard by if your browser works on startup
[06:40] <gnomefreak> XsesA: watch your language please
[06:40] <Navire> Anybody can help me with nexthop equalize?
[06:41] <XsesA> will ubunto format and all alone?
[06:41] <boink> !language
[06:41] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:41] <Materazzi> hey anybody know to get that MAC OSX style menu on the bottom of the screen I've in some screenshots around...?
[06:41] <boink> ubuntu installs much like Mac
[06:41] <FordPrefect> if you click install
[06:41] <XsesA> k :|
[06:41] <THX-1138> slackytyro - It' always fun only occasionally painful.
[06:41] <XsesA> it won't format my windows or something right?
[06:41] <boink> there's some pain in ubuntu ..
[06:41] <XsesA> cuz i still don't know linux ^^
[06:41] <FordPrefect> unless you tell it to
[06:42] <boink> do everything carefully, take your time during the install
[06:42] <XsesA> it will ask me where to install himself and then he will format the partition i choose?
[06:42] <FordPrefect> my recommendation is boot from the CD, try the browser
[06:42] <mcscruff> how can i add an icon to my panel so i can open a console and run a command?
[06:42] <XsesA> i will do it with a boot ofcourse
[06:42] <FordPrefect> if that doesn't work then you're going to have a more fun install
[06:42] <XsesA> just burn image isn't it?
[06:42] <THX-1138> <<< - Set dual monitors last night. irc on one monitor movies on the other    Weee!    lol
[06:42] <FordPrefect> so you'll need to know more first
[06:42] <s_spiff> slacktyro, i want to add another ip add, as in for my internet connection i nee toc onnect using a specific ip add to specific gateway. but for LAN, i need to havv a diff ip add and gateway. in windows I can do that by clicking on Advanced in the properties for the ethernet card/ TCPIp. any way to do this here?
[06:42] <Digital_Pioneer> bionoid: Are you getting the pastebin.ca one?
[06:42] <FordPrefect> if it works then go forward
[06:42] <Navire> I need patch for kernel 2.6???
[06:42] <FordPrefect> but check in here how hard dual booting is or if it is offered from the installer
[06:43] <XsesA> ok
[06:43] <XsesA> what about the swap thing u said?
[06:43] <FordPrefect> cause I don't know anything about dual booting to Windows (I have a MacBookPro that has OS X and Linux)
[06:43] <XsesA> it will do it alone?
[06:43] <lotusleaf> When I run obconf (to configure openbox) it gives this error, how do I fix: "obconf: error while loading shared libraries: libobrender.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory"
[06:43] <FordPrefect> the partitioning tool will ask you what partitions oyu want
[06:43] <FordPrefect> create one "/"
[06:43] <XsesA> call it "/"?
[06:43] <THX-1138> FordPerfect - Dual booting is configured auto-magically during the install.
[06:43] <puff> FordPrefect: My machine dual-boots and I installed it from the hoary installer.
[06:44] <FordPrefect> (ignore all the other bla bla as there ARE reasons to create more partitions but irrelevant starting out)
[06:44] <black_13> boink the kernel doc is pretty terse
[06:44] <FordPrefect> create one type="swap"
[06:44] <puff> FordPrefect: And everything that can go wrong does, when I play with hardware, so if *I* got it working...
[06:44] <Digital_Pioneer> XsesA: Make two partitons for Linux: One in EXT3 labelled "/" and another in linux-swap labelled "swap"
[06:44] <black_13> !kernel
[06:44] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[06:44] <s_spiff> boink, how do i create another interface for the eth card apart form the default? I need to do so for the LAN
[06:44] <XsesA> swap and ext3 are the system format? like ntfs and fat32?
[06:44] <FordPrefect> (EXT3 is the filesystem linux uses in place of NTFS)
[06:45] <Digital_Pioneer> XsesA: Yes, precisely.
[06:45] <FordPrefect> (it is journalled and also a lot faster than NTFS)
[06:45] <sethk> s_spiff, you mean you want to assign an additional IP address to a NIC?
[06:45] <XsesA> i still didn't get the swap thing ^^
[06:45] <s_spiff> sethk, yup!
[06:45] <lotusleaf> anyone here who uses openbox have mercy on me and help ;) thx
[06:45] <boink> s_spliff: man interfaces
[06:45] <pike_> mcscruff: easiest way might be to click launcher then systemtools then right click on the terminal and select add to panel
[06:45] <FordPrefect> okay you know about the windows pagefile thing right?
[06:45] <derekS> i want to backup all my hidden folders (ie .*) from ~, but nothing else. cp -fR .* backupfolder doesn't work for obvious reasons, how would i do that?
[06:45] <slacktyro> s_spiff: as root, type ifconfig eth0 "youripaddress" netmask "yournetmask" -broadcast "yourbroadcast"
[06:45] <Digital_Pioneer> XsesA: I think swap has the same purpose as the Windows paging file.
[06:45] <XsesA> don't think so :(
[06:45] <FordPrefect> where windows swaps to disk
[06:45] <sethk> s_spiff, you create an alias.  such as:   ifconfig eth0:1 <IP_ADDRESS> netmask <IP_ADDRESS>
[06:45] <FordPrefect> okay on windows there is RAM
[06:45] <FordPrefect> and there is the pagefile
[06:45] <FordPrefect> the pagefile is a big fat file
[06:45] <DemisM> anyone use the fpit driver?
[06:45] <FordPrefect> historically there have been many bugs with it
[06:45] <Digital_Pioneer> XsesA: It's an area on the hard drive where Windows puts data that it can't find room for in memory.
[06:45] <sethk> s_spiff, that creates an IP for eth0, in addition to whatever eth0's "real" IP is.
[06:45] <FordPrefect> memory is swapped to disk as needed
[06:45] <black_13> FordPrefect ArthurDent
[06:46] <s_spiff> sethk, slacktyro thanks. will try
[06:46] <Digital_Pioneer> XsesA: It's slower, but it is much bigger.
[06:46] <FordPrefect> Linux just does the same thing with a partition instead of a file
[06:46] <Materazzi> hey anybody know to get that MAC OSX style menu on the bottom of the screen I've in some screenshots around, e.g.  http://bmpx.beep-media-player.org/images/thumb/120px-Bmpx-dmc-1.jpg?
[06:46] <FordPrefect> that is theoretically more efficient
[06:46] <XsesA> oh
[06:46] <slacktyro> sethk: fell free to correct me if i'm wrong ok? i'm just a learner
[06:46] <cge> derekS: Why won't it work?
[06:46] <s_spiff> sethk, what abt the gateway?
[06:46] <XsesA> but i will do those partitions on the install, not atm on windows right?
[06:46] <sethk> FordPrefect, more accurately, linux does it with _either_ a partition or a file, or both
[06:47] <THX-1138> Materazzi: Could it be gdesklets?
[06:47] <FordPrefect> huh didn't know you could do it with the file
[06:47] <sethk> s_spiff, you have a default route to the gateway, it applies to all interfaces.
[06:47] <gnomefreak> XsesA: yes and it can walk you through it
[06:47] <slacktyro> s_spiff -broadcast "yourgateway"
[06:47] <s_spiff> slacktyro, your right, but that will config the mail ip add it hink. i remember doin the before on 5.10, but it was long time back.
[06:47] <Materazzi> THX-1138, is it a package?
[06:47] <XsesA> i can read ntfs with linux right?
[06:47] <sethk> s_spiff, you don't need a default route for each interface.  If you have two NICs, say, or as here one nic with two IPs, you still only need one default route.
[06:47] <sethk> XsesA, right
[06:47] <FordPrefect> XsesA yes but it is beta quality
[06:47] <black_13> does ubuntu use debian's kernel building system make-kpkg?
[06:47] <THX-1138> Materazzi: Take a peek i haven't tried it.
[06:47] <FordPrefect> meaning writing might not be a good idea
[06:47] <s_spiff> sethk, oks.
[06:47] <gnomefreak> FordPrefect: reading is fine
[06:47] <XsesA> i mean i got some music on ntfs system
[06:47] <sethk> FordPrefect, read is not beta.  write is beta.
[06:47] <Materazzi> THX-1138, ok tnx
[06:48] <slacktyro> s_spiff: i installed the ubuntu one hour ago, i configured my network with that :)
[06:48] <XsesA> and i will probably want to hear it from linux
[06:48] <THX-1138> !gdesklets
[06:48] <ubotu> gDesklets provides an advanced architecture for desktop applets -- tiny displays sitting on your desktop in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness. Homepage is http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/
[06:48] <sethk> BRB
[06:48] <FordPrefect> NTFS is a pretty ugly filesystem
[06:48] <gnomefreak> i wouldnt call writing beta since they have yet come up with something even close to safe
[06:48] <FordPrefect> MS is considering dumping it
[06:48] <XsesA> if i download stuff with linux, the best way to get it to ntfs is burning it?
[06:48] <FordPrefect> and hs been considering it for some time
[06:48] <Dr_willis> FordPrefect,  like since befor it even came out. :P
[06:49] <FordPrefect> uhh, I'd just have a fat32 partition for that
[06:49] <slacktyro> i'll have a lunch
[06:49] <s_spiff> slacktyro, nice. it took me a month the first to to figure that out. and i still cant remember the stuff nearly a year after using ubuntu man!
[06:49] <FordPrefect> linux can read/write fat32 perfectly
[06:49] <Dr_willis> Microsoft the great "grandfather in the stuff  people dont really need" :)
[06:49] <Kejk_PL> don't use ntfs-3g for ntfs writing, I had many problems with this
[06:49] <pike_> XsesA: alot of people make a large fat32 partition to save movies and mp3s to that both linux and xp can read
[06:49] <Dr_willis> i just let xp read/write to my ext2 partions
[06:49] <Vuen> what's up #ubuntu
[06:49] <XsesA> oh that's good
[06:49] <Leftovercrack> whats going on guys
[06:49] <porkpie> Can some tell what the link is for the daily release please
[06:49] <THX-1138> Kejk` - What types of problems? - i have been considering it.
[06:50] <Vuen> is there a way to make my user password different from my root password without activating the root account?
[06:50] <cherubiel> Leftovercrack: any leftovers?
[06:50] <XsesA> so i can both write/read with windows and linux to the fat32?
[06:50] <Leftovercrack> anyone no why i cant get ubuntu to load off the live cd?
[06:50] <FordPrefect> yes
[06:50] <orbin> Dr_willis: fs-driver?
[06:50] <gnomefreak> XsesA: yes for most part
[06:50] <cherubiel> Leftovercrack: where are you stuck?
[06:50] <Kejk_PL> THX-1138: system won't star (stopping at "Checking filesystems" or something like this)
[06:50] <Leftovercrack> put the cd in
[06:50] <THX-1138> porkpie #ubuntu+1 will have the link  type !release in that channel
[06:50] <Leftovercrack> started to boot up
[06:50] <FordPrefect> I wouldn't recommend installing linux stuff on the fat32 partition (only data files) as some proggies assume case sensitivity among other things
[06:50] <XsesA> i got 55gb, how do u recommend splitting it? (how much fat32 and how much for the linux)
[06:50] <cge> Vuen: Not really, why would you want to do that?
[06:51] <Leftovercrack> and it says uncompressing linux
[06:51] <Kejk_PL> THX-1138: it works preatty good, but sometimes it makes such probles
[06:51] <Leftovercrack> ok booting from kernal
[06:51] <FordPrefect> and since fat32 doesn't support htat...there may be minor hickups
[06:51] <h0ax> is there a freebsd channel here ?
[06:51] <pike_> Vuen: basically you remove yourself from the admin group but you need at least on account on the system a member of it for sudo access
[06:51] <JDahl> Leftovercrack, is it dapper? and what architecture?
[06:51] <FordPrefect> depends on you...how much porn do you intend to put on the fat32 and play on both?
[06:51] <FordPrefect> :-)
[06:51] <Leftovercrack> dapper
[06:51] <pike_> h0ax: /j freebsd its pretty active
[06:51] <XsesA> :-)
[06:51] <THX-1138> Kejk_PL: Okay. - I won't try it. - appreciate the tip. - Ctrl-C will bypass a sticky spot n boot up.
[06:51] <XsesA> i got alot movies and mp3
[06:51] <h0ax> its hidden lol
[06:51] <XsesA> but the movies i can move only when i want to watch them also
[06:52] <XsesA> and must of them or on cds anyway
[06:52] <XsesA> how much does the lnux need/
[06:52] <XsesA> ?
[06:52] <pike_> h0ax: you have to /msg nickserv register password  and then from then on /msg nickserv identify password to login
[06:52] <cge> Vuen: What would be the advantage of doing so?
[06:52] <s_spiff> sethk, slacktyro, boink thanks ppl. worked. now having both lan and net. :D
[06:52] <Leftovercrack> anyone know?
[06:52] <Leftovercrack> why this thing wont boot?
[06:52] <Vuen> cge, i want to do that because i just don't like typing in my root password just for logging in
[06:52] <FordPrefect> XsesA it can fit on a CD (even a floppy back in the day) or take many gigs
[06:52] <FordPrefect> its up to you
[06:52] <JDahl> Leftovercrack, what architecture are you using?
[06:52] <FordPrefect> a nominal installation I'd probalby have at least 10-20gigs for
[06:53] <cge> Vuen: as opposed to just activating root?
[06:53] <gpled> what version of postfix does ubuntu use?
[06:53] <XsesA> well giving the ext3 partition 10gb will be fine?
[06:53] <Leftovercrack> x86
[06:53] <Vuen> when i ssh to my computer from elsewhere, i don't like the idea of those computers being compromised with keyloggers being able to read my root password
[06:53] <ScreaminIke> does anyone know how to use an ssh server as a secure proxy?
[06:53] <XsesA> i can give it 20
[06:53] <FordPrefect> yeah should be, just store your porn on the other parititon
[06:53] <FordPrefect> (also note that things like emails often end up on disk)
[06:53] <Leftovercrack> can you see what im typing now?
[06:53] <cge> Vuen: If you set a password for root, you can use the targetpw option in /etc/sudoers to make sudo as for the root password instead of the user password.
[06:53] <XsesA> i don't want to store movies and mp3s on the ext3 because then the windows won't be able to read it
[06:54] <cge> Vuen: In fact, you bring up a very good point.
[06:54] <FordPrefect> then thats fine
[06:54] <s_spiff> sethk, how to delete the interface i just created?
[06:54] <XsesA> 15gb for ext3 and 40gb for fat32 will be alright?
[06:54] <XsesA> oh another thing i wanted ask
[06:55] <FordPrefect> yes
[06:55] <Leftovercrack> does anyone know why i cant get this thing to boot off a live cd?
[06:55] <THX-1138> XsesA: I use Fat32 (VFAT in linux speak)
[06:55] <Leftovercrack> anyone?
[06:55] <designdream> i am going nuts trying to install ubuntu on fakeraid using dmraid.. anyone experienced?
[06:55] <XsesA> what about drivers?
[06:55] <FordPrefect> leftovercrack is it enabled in bios to boot from there?
[06:55] <pike_> XsesA: my setup is 6 gigs for / and another 20 or whatever for home 15 for everthing under / would be plenty
[06:55] <boink> apt-cache showpkg postfix .. that will give you the info about the version
[06:55] <FordPrefect> thats why I'm suggesting booting from CD first
[06:55] <Leftovercrack> yeah
[06:55] <FordPrefect> if you can get to the browser then thats a good start
[06:55] <Leftovercrack> i got to the uncompressing linux
[06:55] <THX-1138> !LVM

[06:55] <Leftovercrack> ok booting from kernal
[06:56] <FordPrefect> meaning you can boot, start using linux w/o installing
[06:56] <Leftovercrack> that how far i am
[06:56] <XsesA> pike i didn't understand ^^
[06:56] <Leftovercrack> yes
[06:56] <FordPrefect> and if the screen works and you can browse the net
[06:56] <Leftovercrack> i just cant get it to the desktop
[06:56] <Leftovercrack> what do i need to do?
[06:56] <FordPrefect> then you have at least enough drivers to do normal stuff
[06:56] <Leftovercrack> i can see anything
[06:56] <Stigi`aw> anyone know a good PHP editor with syntax checking/color highlight and maybe even preview? Pretty much similar to Ankords PHP Expert Editor 4 for Windows :)
[06:56] <FordPrefect> if you want to do things like play games you may need to grab better video drivers
[06:56] <FordPrefect> if the net doesn't work you'll have a more involved installation
[06:56] <cge> Vuen: Actually, the rootpw option is better.
[06:56] <XsesA> i can download drivers for linux from nvidia.com?
[06:56] <FordPrefect> but generally with ubuntu that isn't a problem
[06:56] <waylandbill> I'm having trouble setting up encryption on my linksys router. everytime I tell it to use a wpa shared key, I can't connect until I reset the router.
[06:57] <boink> !nvdia
[06:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nvdia - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:57] <designdream> Stigi`aw: not a fan of vim?
[06:57] <XsesA> !nvidia
[06:57] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:57] <lupine_85> XsesA: yes, but it's less hassle to use the packaged ones
[06:57] <FordPrefect> yeah, but you can probably go without them at first
[06:57] <Leftovercrack> does this just go to you?
