[08:42] <shawnz> chombee: there is none
[08:43] <cdc> !tell ubotu huh>? i dont have any questions yet
[08:43] <darknature> anyone know how to get permission to write to a folder?
[08:43] <HappyFool> pedrobest: ok, it's not too hard. you need to press ESC just before ubuntu boots -- this is after your bios is finished. I *think* there's a prompt telling you to press ESC for a boot menu
[08:43] <bobbyd> lemur, is that terminology from your american football?
[08:43] <chombee> shawnz - is there no kind of contact for these people?
[08:43] <HappyFool> pedrobest: choose the 'recovery mode' or 'rescue' mode option, and press enter
[08:43] <chavo> darknature: you can change the splashscreen path in gconf-editor
[08:43] <cdc> !nick m
[08:43] <ubotu> cdc: Not a clue
[08:43] <pedrobest> HappyFool: ok then ill give it a go
[08:43] <HappyFool> pedrobest: you have an idea of what i'm taking about?
[08:43] <enyc> niz: in any case...  mplayer-586  is the mpalyer backage in  hoary [which is probably what you have]
[08:43] <cdc> can you guys kick ubotu
[08:43] <HappyFool> pedrobest: hang on ;)
[08:43] <enyc> nik even... you awake ;-)

[08:44] <cdc> i dont get happyfool
[08:44] <pedrobest> HappyFool: only thing is im using grub - do you wnat be to go into the grub options?
[08:44] <chombee> ubotu - are you a bot?
[08:44] <HappyFool> pedrobest: yes
[08:44] <ubotu> I think you lost me on that one, chombee
[08:44] <HappyFool> !ubotu
[08:44] <ubotu> Thaaat's me! I'm a bot, not a human. I'm sometimes the most coherent poster on #ubuntu! For more, ask me about "add". You can browse my brain on http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, or better than SmarterChild
[08:44] <chombee> ubotu - are you a bot?
[08:44] <cdc> type !nick
[08:45] <cdc> unto will answer you
[08:45] <cdc> ubotu will answer you
[08:45] <ubotu> cdc: Do they come in packets of five?
[08:45] <chombee> sorry ubotu
[08:45] <anaccount> happyfool
[08:45] <shawnz> :/
[08:45] <nik> Ok, I have all of those things in my sources list and it doesnt work, still.
[08:45] <HappyFool> pedrobest: choose the rescue mode in the grub menu
[08:45] <anaccount> i got a question
[08:45] <cdc> ubotu cdc: Do they come in packets of five?(i dont know what this guy is sayin
[08:45] <ubotu> that's too long, cdc
[08:45] <chombee> it appears to be a person
[08:45] <HappyFool> pedrobest: that will put you into a shell, as root
[08:45] <shawnz> chombee its a bot.
[08:46] <anaccount> im currently running a website and I forgot my ftp password
[08:46] <cdc> be back soon for more questions thanks
[08:46] <shawnz> rofl
[08:46] <h17m4n> how do I run the GUI of pureftpd?
[08:46] <shawnz> gui?
[08:46] <HappyFool> pedrobest: you need to edit the /etc/hosts file; you can use the editor 'nano'. Just type 'nano /etc/hosts'
[08:46] <QMario> Is Seveas here? :-/
[08:46] <grogoreo> hi
[08:46] <chombee> shawnz - no way! well it fooled me if it is
[08:46] <QMario> Hello Grogoreo!! :)
[08:47] <HappyFool> pedrobest: one of the lines should start with '<IP_ADDRESS>' and be followed by 'localhost.localdomain' and 'localhost'; you need to add 'family1' to that line
[08:47] <QMario> How do I use my modem in Ubuntu?
[08:47] <grogoreo> has anyone dist-upgraded from hoary to breezy?
[08:47] <HappyFool> pedrobest: there must be a space between 'localhost' and 'family1'
[08:47] <anaccount> Please answer me im kind of desperate at the moment
[08:47] <enyc> gmar: what do you mean modem?
[08:47] <HappyFool> pedrobest: then save the file, and try 'ping family1' again; it should now work
[08:47] <HappyFool> pedrobest: if it does, reboot and try sudo -s again
[08:47] <HappyFool> pedrobest: i hope that's clear
[08:47] <enyc> anaccount: this problem is between you and the administrator of the FTP-host...
[08:47] <Hostis> anyone that knows how to install Counter Strike HLDS server on Ubuntu ???
[08:47] <Hostis> anyone that knows how to install Counter Strike HLDS server on Ubuntu ???
[08:47] <QMario> eNYC, are you talking to me?
[08:48] <pedrobest> HappyFool: please could you write out what the lin in nano needs to say
[08:48] <HappyFool> pedrobest: ok
[08:48] <enyc> qmar: oh yes, sorry
[08:48] <QMario> Enyc, I meant how do I use dial-up?
[08:48] <anaccount> enyc what should I do
[08:48] <enyc> qmar: what do you mean 'modem' ?
[08:48] <QMario> !Modem
[08:48] <ubotu> QMario: Are you smoking crack?
[08:48] <chombee> fooled by a bot, i'm so embarassed
[08:48] <HappyFool> pedrobest: <IP_ADDRESS> localhost.localdomain localhost family1
[08:48] <pedrobest> HappyFool: thanks
[08:48] <enyc> anac: talk to the admini~1 of the server for the ftp accoutn and get them to help you wiht your ftp-password ??
[08:48] <QMario> Enyc, SmartLink Modem to connect to the Internet in Ubuntu.
[08:48] <chombee> Seriously, what is this new Search & Indexing thing in Breezy? It doesn't do anything
[08:48] <QMario> !Dial-up
[08:48] <ubotu> QMario: I give up, what is it?
[08:48] <QMario> !Botsnack
[08:48] <ubotu> thanks qmario :)
[08:48] <enyc> qmar: hrrm... smartlink... I know there is slmodem support somewhere
[08:48] <anaccount> thanks alot
[08:49] <HappyFool> QMario: try /query ubotu and then 'help'
[08:49] <enyc> qmar: its a horrid 'software modem' thing iirc
[08:49] <enyc> qmar: I only use REAL modem cards that emulate a 16650A uart or a modem in the COM (serial) port that takes normal modem commands...  but anyway...
[08:49] <HappyFool> !info sl-modem-source
[08:49] <ubotu> sl-modem-source: (SmartLink software modem driver - module building source), section multiverse/misc, is optional. Version: 2.9.9a-1ubuntu4 (hoary), Packaged size: 206 kB, Installed size: 248 kB
[08:49] <HappyFool> that package has a readme that tells you how to compile the modem driver
[08:49] <enyc> qmar: erm... slmodem... never tried that I jut kno theres support for it..
[08:50] <QMario> Enyc, I do have a modem "card".
[08:50] <QMario> It is not integrated.
[08:50] <HappyFool> QMario: what model of modem? do you know?
[08:50] <enyc> qmar: indeed, and if its a smartlink thing, then it needs the  slmodem  suppror module/driver...
[08:50] <QMario> HappyFool, no.
[08:50] <nik> Is there any freaking way to update Kaffiene with all of the necessary plugins?
[08:50] <cdc> guys what version of cedega is compatible with the breeze badger
[08:50] <QMario> I am using Windows XP right now, since Ubuntu can't detect my modem.
[08:50] <enyc> qmar: because itis a modem that does not simulate a COM-port / AT-command-set,  it needs 'software help' to do all this
[08:51] <pedrobest> HappyFool: the line only contained <IP_ADDRESS> localhost . i added family1 to the end and pinged it but i didnt work. shall i add localhost.localdomain to the file.
[08:51] <HappyFool> QMario: i recommend http://linmodems.technion.ac.il; look for scanModems.gz
[08:51] <enyc> qmar: software modems are a pain-pain-pain ;-)
[08:51] <cdc> guys what version of cedega is compatible with the breeze badger
[08:51] <HappyFool> pedrobest: localhost.localdomain is not too important
[08:51] <bytefoo> how can i change which default application opens a file
[08:51] <enyc> qmar: do a "/sbin/lspci" -- what is mentioned r.e. your modem ??
[08:51] <HappyFool> pedrobest: hmm. that is strange
[08:51] <nik> >_>
[08:51] <bytefoo> for instance, to have vlc open all video/dvds as opposed to totem :|
[08:51] <pedrobest> HappyFool: that line was the only thing the file contained
[08:52] <HappyFool> pedrobest: that's fine
[08:52] <pedrobest> HappyFool: what responce i needed
[08:52] <cdc> happyfool do you have your cedega
[08:52] <HappyFool> pedrobest: you're sure you saved the file? Also, could you try 'ping localhost'
[08:52] <nik> To install VLC, i type sudo apt-get install vlc, right?
[08:52] <HappyFool> cdc: sorry, no
[08:52] <djbrieck> hello
[08:52] <bytefoo> yes
[08:52] <QMario> Enyc, I am using Windows right now. I have a dual-boot system. This could take a while. :'(
[08:52] <enyc> nik: yes, assuming thats the package name and its in your sources
[08:52] <cdc> what version should i get?
[08:52] <pedrobest> HappyFool: ill have another look
[08:52] <enyc> qmar: heh..
[08:52] <HappyFool> pedrobest: one more thing
[08:52] <nik> What media players are in the default packages?
[08:53] <HappyFool> pedrobest: type 'ifconfig lo' -- the fourth line should start with UP
[08:53] <djbrieck> thinking about installing ubuntu on a Dell Inspiron 8200, is this a good idea?
[08:53] <HappyFool> pedrobest: if it starts with DOWN something (different) is wrong
[08:53] <djbrieck> How is the support of laptop hardware?
[08:54] <cdc> !HappyFool
[08:54] <ubotu> cdc: What?
[08:54] <cdc> !
[08:54] <ubotu> cdc: Did you get hit by a windmill?
[08:54] <chombee> He's a bot!
[08:55] <NB_Ubuntu> hey, if I want to search for a module, how would I go about doing it?
[08:55] <NB_Ubuntu> specifically, I'm wanting to install myth, but apt-cache search didn't find anything..
[08:55] <pedrobest> HappyFool: umm - the forth line of ifconfig lo starts with TX
[08:56] <QMario> I think an operator has to include in the TOPIC that Ubotu is a robot. ;)
[08:56] <chombee> NB_Ubuntu - use synaptic package manager, gui
[08:56] <HappyFool> pedrobest: hmm. ok, sorry, that means it's down
[08:56] <cute_bettong> how do i install a font?
[08:56] <chombee> What we really need is a bot to accuse others of being bots
[08:56] <andre_r> !
[08:56] <ubotu> andre_r: I don't know, could you explain it?
[08:57] <andre_r> !ubuntu
[08:57] <ubotu> somebody said ubuntu was an easy-to-use GNU/Linux desktop distro based on Debian.  http://ubuntu.com http://ubuntuforums.org http://wiki.ubuntu.com. It means 'Humanity to others'. see !awards
[08:57] <HappyFool> pedrobest: i'm not sure that that is that important for sudo
[08:57] <cute_bettong> how do i install a font?
[08:57] <NB_Ubuntu> nothing is there... so how do I add a new area to download from?
[08:57] <pedrobest> HappyFool: sorry to be ignorant but could you explain why networking and the like has anything to do with sudo
[08:57] <NB_Ubuntu> or is there a good way of doing a search for it?
[08:58] <darkheart> !tell NB_Ubuntu about repositories
[08:58] <cute_bettong> anyone know how to install a font?
[08:58] <cute_bettong> !fonts
[08:58] <ubotu> rumour has it, fonts is https://wiki.ubuntu.com//FontInstallHowto
[08:58] <HappyFool> pedrobest: i don't know; i am trying to apply a sort of treating the symptoms approach. if sudo needs to find the 'family1' host, let's try to make that happen
[08:58] <chombee> NB_Ubuntu look up the 'adding repositories' page on the Ubuntu wiki
[08:58] <pedrobest> HappyFool: ok
[08:58] <haico> Ene goedeavond
[08:59] <chombee> !fonts
[08:59] <ubotu> I guess fonts is https://wiki.ubuntu.com//FontInstallHowto
[08:59] <chombee> !Repositories
[08:59] <ubotu> rumour has it, repositories is probably at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969
[08:59] <HappyFool> pedrobest: what error did the ping fail with ?
[08:59] <HappyFool> pedrobest: after you changed /etc/hosts
[08:59] <chombee> NB_Ubuntu - see what ubotu said
[08:59] <cute_bettong> ok i'm using breezy how do i install fonts?
[08:59] <chombee> cute_betting !fonts
[08:59] <pedrobest> HappyFool: connect: Network is unreachable
[09:00] <chombee> !fonts
[09:00] <ubotu> fonts is probably https://wiki.ubuntu.com//FontInstallHowto
[09:00] <HappyFool> pedrobest: ok, so it resolved
[09:00] <chombee> see what ubotu said
[09:00] <HappyFool> pedrobest: i think you can try sudo again
[09:00] <darkheart> chombee Please stop playing with the bot.
[09:00] <cute_bettong> it's not for breezy but something diffrent
[09:00] <chombee> darkheart - but it's actually posting the wiki pages I want people to look at, it's useful!
[09:00] <HappyFool> pedrobest: you can try 'telinit 2' in the root shell
[09:00] <pedrobest> HappyFool: ok then back to kde. just for refernece what command reboots in the console?
[09:01] <ttyS0> how can i force running sh script itself on pc startup?
[09:01] <chombee> cute_bettong - I think Breezy will be the same as Hoary for fonts
[09:01] <darkheart> chombee I know what it does, but if you read your IRC log, you'll see that cute_bettong actually typed !fonts before you did.
[09:01] <HappyFool> pedrobest: um. you need to choose rescue mode in the grub menu
[09:01] <Truth> gcc: Internal error: Segmentation fault (program as)
[09:01] <Truth> Please submit a full bug report.
[09:01] <Truth> See <URL:http://gcc.gnu.org/bugs.html> for instructions.
[09:01] <Truth> For Debian GNU/Linux specific bug reporting instructions,
[09:01] <Truth> see <URL:file:///usr/share/doc/gcc-3.3/README.Bugs>.
[09:01] <Truth> make[1] : *** [s_conf.o]  Error 1
[09:01] <Truth> can anyone tell how to fix this?
[09:01] <cute_bettong> i'm using it now and i can't find the .fonts folder
[09:01] <HappyFool> Truth: please don't paste here
[09:01] <darkheart> Truth Don't paste here. Use #flood or pastebin
[09:01] <egytrack> how can i log as root ?
[09:01] <cute_bettong> i followed the instructions and it's not there
[09:01] <ttyS0> egytrack, use sudo
[09:01] <egytrack> changing file and config server for testing php scripts
[09:01] <HappyFool> !tell egytrack about root
[09:01] <darkheart> Truth And btw, that's not enough info to tell us anything useful.
[09:01] <cute_bettong> there is no folder in home/shane/ that is called .fonts
[09:02] <Truth> well darkheart thats the only error
[09:02] <chombee> cute_bettong - you have show hidden folders on?
[09:02] <cute_bettong> yes
[09:02] <darkheart> cute_bettong Then make the folder.
[09:02] <cute_bettong> is that ok to do?
[09:02] <darkheart> cute_bettong Yes.
[09:02] <egytrack> thanks
[09:02] <cute_bettong> it won't screw anything up?
[09:02] <cute_bettong> kk
[09:02] <HappyFool> Truth: please tell us what you are trying to achieve
[09:03] <Belutz> :)
[09:03] <darkheart> Truth Is there anything more that comes before the segfault?
[09:03] <bsharitt> Has the process of choosing the screen resolution been changed in Breezy?
[09:03] <chombee> cute_bettong - if you do screw it up, i suppose then you can just delete the folder again
[09:03] <pedrobest> HappyFool: do you mean i need to try sudo in the console im in now?
[09:03] <chombee> bsharitt - the gui looks the same to me
[09:03] <HappyFool> pedrobest: no, i want you to try it as a 'normal' user
[09:03] <Truth> HappyFool, trying to compile ircu
[09:04] <bsharitt> Warty always asked me my resolution, but Breezy just picked the horribly unacceptable  640x480 resolution with out even asking.
[09:04] <pedrobest> HappyFool: sorry - could you elaborate?
[09:04] <egytrack> is there is a free tutorial for ubuntu ?
[09:04] <chombee> bsharitt - you probably need a dpkg reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:04] <thrush_2> egytrack, wiki =)
[09:04] <QMario> Does any one know how to set the class path for Java in Ubuntu?
[09:05] <HappyFool> pedrobest: i mean, i want you to go to a normal runlevel with 'telinit 2' -- that should get you to a normal KDE login screen; login, and try 'sudo ls' and see if it now works
[09:05] <Betaflye> anyone running Breezy here?
[09:05] <darkheart> bsharitt What kind of vid card?
[09:05] <egytrack> wiki site is too slow .. !
[09:05] <bsharitt> chombee - I know how to fix it, but this seems like a big problem if this is the default
[09:05] <HappyFool> Truth: i see an ircd-ircu package in the repositories -- can you not use that instead?
[09:05] <egytrack> wiki i'm trying to load it ..
[09:05] <Truth> well
[09:05] <chombee> bsharitt - with Hoary, it only happened to some people, not sure if it's fixed yet or if it happens in Breezy
[09:06] <Truth> i want to have it compiled
[09:06] <bsharitt> darkheart - It's a Radeon 9250, so it uses(or is supposed to) the DRI drivers great.
[09:06] <an_ubuntu> QMario, http://ubuntuguide.org/4.10/index.html#jre
[09:06] <Truth> its a different version
[09:06] <HappyFool> Truth: otherwise, it appears that you have discovered a gcc bug; try changing the configuration options (does it use ./configure ?) or hack the Makefile
[09:06] <funkyHat> i just installed polypaudio, but i can't hear sounds from, say, pingus and xine at the same time... how can i fix this?
[09:06] <Truth> yeah HappyFool
[09:06] <Truth> it works
[09:06] <Truth> after that i need to make right
[09:06] <egytrack> how can i put files in www directory ?
[09:06] <chombee> How do I get the bot to respond to me privately? It just ignores me
[09:06] <QMario> An_ubuntu, !ubuntuguide.
[09:06] <funkyHat> chombee, register with nickserv
[09:06] <QMario> !ubuntuguide
[09:06] <ubotu> ubuntuguide is, like, a set of instructions with no explanation. Please do not advise people to use ubuntuguide.  Advise https://wiki.ubuntu.com instead. The official FAQ Guide will be released with Breezy, stay tuned.
[09:06] <darkheart> Truth You might try using a different version of gcc.
[09:06] <bsharitt> chombee - Hoary always worked fine for me, but breezy seems broken
[09:07] <darkheart> chombee Just msg the bot
[09:07] <Belutz> egytrack: in /var/www ?
[09:07] <Truth> darkheart, now installing all the versions availible :)
[09:07] <djbrieck> any one using this on a laptop?
[09:07] <egytrack> yes i could not change the premissons
[09:07] <darkheart> Truth Don't get too crazy with it =)
[09:07] <thrush_2> djbrieck, yes
[09:07] <Truth> hehe
[09:07] <Belutz> djbrieck: i run ubuntu in a laptop
[09:07] <Truth> darkheart, yeh
[09:07] <chombee> MSG ubotu private message
[09:07] <chombee> bah!
[09:08] <thrush_2> chombee, "/msg
[09:08] <djbrieck> Ok how do i check to see if my laptop will be supported?
[09:08] <darkheart> chombee Sorry, something like /msg ubotu !nvidia or something.
[09:08] <Belutz> egytrack: try copying/moving with sudo
[09:08] <funkyHat> darkheart, you drop the ! for /msgs ;)
[09:08] <HappyFool> no ! needed in ubotu's private chat (in fact, it doesn't work)
[09:08] <funkyHat> chombee,
[09:08] <thrush_2> djbrieck, try the livecd
[09:08] <funkyHat> /msg ubotu help
[09:09] <Belutz> djbrieck: you could test it using the ubuntu live cd
[09:09] <chombee> HappyFool, funkyHat, thanks
[09:09] <darkheart> like I said, something like /msg ubotu nvidia or something. =P
[09:09] <HappyFool> heh
[09:09] <funkyHat> :P
[09:09] <chombee> what a handy little bot
[09:09] <andresh> hello
[09:10] <cdc> how could you he's handy?
[09:10] <cdc> how could you say he's handy?
[09:10] <kevogod> he is handy
[09:10] <HappyFool> very!
[09:10] <kevogod> !tell cdc about ubotu
[09:10] <Belutz> yup, ubotu is helpfull :)
[09:10] <funkyHat> becuse you can do that
[09:11] <funkyHat> XD
[09:11] <djbrieck> is the live CD the way to go?  I have the most trouble with power manganement and opening a closing the lid, with most other unixs/ linuns that i have tried
[09:11] <egytrack> how i can end tasks ?
[09:12] <cdc> hha nice dialogue you got
[09:12] <jc-denton> hi all
[09:12] <jc-denton> i've a spimple question
[09:12] <andresh> hi
[09:12] <djbrieck> So for those who do have laptops what kind do you have?  Just make sure you make the Ubuntu partition bootable during setup and don't install the bootloader or you overwrite your current mbr.
[09:15] <HappyFool> jc-denton: 1) you can install ubuntu on 1 partition 2) should be able to share swap partitions 3) if you use expert install, at least, you can choose not to install ubuntu's grub, and thereby avoid overwriting the mbr
[09:15] <Belutz> djbrieck: btw, what laptop are you using?
[09:15] <jc-denton> ok
[09:15] <pedrobest> HappyFool: thanks very much - i now seem to be able to set up my kwifi but im not sure about some other things - when i go into the k control center and click on administor mode it claims it loading but doesnt. also su - then my password doesnt seem to work
[09:15] <hhurtta> help me guys, I can't remember the name of the release before hoary
[09:15] <HappyFool> pedrobest: su - won't work until you set a root password
[09:16] <HappyFool> pedrobest: i recommend just using 'sudo -s' for now; effectively the same thing
[09:16] <thrush_2> hhurtta, warty
[09:16] <chombee> hhurtta - I think it was Bloaty or something
[09:16] <Betaflye> hhurtta, warty warthog
[09:16] <hhurtta> thrush_2: that was it, thanks
[09:16] <pedrobest> HappyFool: so when i use that kubuntu will think i am root for 15 mins?
[09:16] <HappyFool> pedrobest: i'm not very familiar with kde, so i'm not too sure what the problem is there. however, it seems like something went a bit funny in your install
[09:17] <HappyFool> pedrobest: um, no, you need to use something else for kde to know about that
[09:17] <HappyFool> pedrobest: i think it might be kdesu ? (let me check...)
[09:17] <cdc> !msh HappyFool
[09:17] <ubotu> I don't know, cdc
[09:17] <funkyHat> how do i stop polypaudio from locking up my soundcard? (for some reason my alsa apps can't use the device even though i have software mixing set up)
[09:17] <pedrobest> HappyFool: yes that what worked when i wanted to set up kwifi
[09:17] <cdc> hey guys
[09:18] <cdc> am about to dl a software
[09:18] <pedrobest> HappyFool: and sudo ls also worked
[09:18] <cdc> the problem is where would it go
[09:18] <egytrack> is there is a gui of sudo ?
[09:18] <delltony> gksudo iirc
[09:18] <Belutz> egytrack: gksudo maybe?
[09:18] <HappyFool> pedrobest: ok, good. something is still a bit screwy -- i think you need to get at least 'ping <IP_ADDRESS>' working, but maybe that has something to do with you other (wifi) network setup
[09:18] <darkheart> cdc Wherever you download it to
[09:18] <thrush_2> cdc, what exactly are you trying to do?
[09:19] <funkyHat> egytrack, gksudo
[09:19] <funkyHat> lol
[09:19] <cdc> thrush i want to dl it at my specified folder
[09:19] <dreameen> hiya
[09:19] <dreameen> where in ubuntu is the history of installed packages?
[09:19] <egytrack> where i can found it ?
[09:19] <thrush_2> cdc, firefox will prob download to desktop by default
[09:20] <egytrack> where is gksudo
[09:20] <egytrack> ?
[09:20] <delltony> egytrack: try this sudo apt-get install gk-su
[09:20] <Belutz> egytrack: you type gksudo <appname>
[09:20] <delltony> err gnome-sudo sorry
[09:20] <darkheart> cdc You can try right-clicking and choose 'save link as'. That should give you the option where to download.
[09:20] <berlet> des gens de france?
[09:20] <cdc> ok
[09:20] <HappyFool> in firefox, under edit -> preferences -> downloads, you can tell firefox to ask you where to save a file every time one is downloaded
[09:20] <darkheart> cdc Or you can change Firefox settings to always ask you where to download files
[09:20] <darkheart> !fr
[09:21] <ubotu> fr is, like, Va a #ubuntu-fr pour aide et discussion en francais
[09:21] <delltony> Belutz: it might not be there by default cause in breezy ono my system its not
[09:21] <delltony> i had to install gnome-sudo
[09:21] <berlet> thx
[09:21] <darkheart> Welcome
[09:21] <HappyFool> someone could put a really rude message in one of those internationalized redirects and we'd never know ;)
[09:21] <berlet> #ubuntu-fr
[09:21] <Nard> hey
[09:21] <darkheart> HappyFool Hehe, true...although I can understand a bit of French.
[09:21] <Belutz> delltony: ic, i'm still using hoary, never tried breezy before :)
[09:21] <pedrobest> HappyFool: althought i now have connected to this wifi signal i cannot connect to the net
[09:21] <Nard> ubuntu comes witha perl interpreter right
[09:22] <humbolt> is it right that libraries complied with gcc4 in ubuntu have a different name like: libqt3-mt and libqt3c102-mt? which one is which one then?
[09:22] <darkheart> Nard Yes.
[09:22] <Nard> where is it
[09:22] <Nard> /usr/bin/perl right
[09:22] <pedrobest> HappyFool: any ideas how to - it should not be a router problem becasue knoppix can gain a ip address when on my wired lan pc
[09:22] <darkheart> Nard type 'which perl'
[09:22] <funkyHat> can someone DCC send me their esd.conf? or point me to where i can find the default
[09:22] <HappyFool> pedrobest: um. i'm not a wifi or routing expert, i'm afraid
[09:22] <egytrack> dosn't work , i try synatic to download gk-sudo and i could not found it for download .. !
[09:23] <Nard> ok darkheart i found it but it won't let me run it
[09:23] <Nard> it just says opening
[09:23] <Nard> then nothing
[09:23] <HappyFool> pedrobest: all i can do is recommend this:
[09:23] <HappyFool> !wifi
[09:23] <ubotu> wifi is, like, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WiFiHowto
[09:23] <funkyHat> egytrack, it's already installed
[09:23] <darkheart> Nard Um..How are you trying to run it? It's an interpreter, you have to feed it a perl file, i.e. 'perl myperlprogram.pl'
[09:23] <test34> do you need gcc 3.4 to build the kernel ? or you can use 4.0
[09:23] <Nard> ok so i can't just open a shell type thing
[09:23] <cdc> it just save to desktop
[09:23] <pedrobest> HappyFool: thanks very much for this then - im sure ill be back!
[09:23] <egytrack> bash: gk-sudo: command not found
[09:23] <HappyFool> there's some hack to get an interactive perl. Or you could just use python instead ;)
[09:24] <darkheart> Nard Oh I see, some kind of command line that evaluates expressions like ruby has?
[09:24] <HappyFool> gksudo -- no -
[09:24] <cdc> if ever i want to updat packages? how?
[09:24] <Belutz> egytrack: gksudo not gk-sudo
[09:24] <Nard> Yeah that's what i'm looking for
[09:24] <funkyHat> egytrack, if you need to run a GUI app with root priveliges, click applications, click run program, then put in gksudo followed by the normal command (bear in mind launchers in system > administration are already set to run using gksudo
[09:24] <funkyHat> egytrack, no -. just gksudo
[09:25] <Nard> so is there anything like that darkheart
[09:25] <cdc> can you teach me how to update?
[09:25] <darkheart> Nard Hehe, I dunno. I'm not a perl programmer. But, I'm betting there is somewhere.
[09:26] <egytrack> yes i understand now i tybe gksudo and app name .. thanks
[09:26] <Belutz> egytrack: for example if you want to run application "a" with root privileges you can type "gksudo a"
[09:26] <Nard> drat
[09:26] <Belutz> egytrack: great :D
[09:26] <Nard> thanks for your help anyways darkheart
[09:26] <thrush_2> cdc, update firefox?
[09:26] <Cryptid> is Azureus available for Ubuntu
[09:26] <cdc> packages for OS
[09:26] <Belutz> Cryptid: i think it is
[09:26] <dzik_24> hallo everyone
[09:26] <cdc> for ubuntu
[09:26] <thrush_2> Cryptid, yes you will need to isntall java also
[09:27] <egytrack> can i have example of file browser ?
[09:27] <egytrack> with sudo ?
[09:27] <funkyHat> cdc, launch the program called ubuntu update manager, and go to preferences
[09:27] <Belutz> egytrack: try gksudo nautilus ?
[09:27] <funkyHat> cdc, set it to every day, or week, or however often you want it to update
[09:27] <djbrieck> thank you all
[09:27] <djbrieck> later
[09:28] <egytrack> i have error :  While connecting to session manager:
[09:28] <egytrack> Authentication Rejected, reason : None of the authentication protocols specified are supported and host-based authentication failed.
[09:28] <funkyHat> cdc, that program will display a red icon in your notification area when there are packages that need updating

[09:28] <funkyHat> 13 october

[09:31] <alexwillmer> Evening all, could anyone help me to coax the ATI fglrx driver to work on Breezy Preview. I believe I have the kernel module installed correctly, all that is left is the error "X Error of failed request:  BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length error)" from fgl_glxgears

[09:31] <Belutz> Betaflye: can i still order again?
[09:31] <egytrack> how i can set ftp server ?
[09:31] <HappyFool> okapi_: ubotu should have sent you some information, and a link to a web page. if you read it, you should find the answer to your question
[09:32] <toxicle> how do i disable ping reply?
[09:32] <jamie_k> ppls: just updated to breezy from hoary... problem with xorg.conf?: startx gives 'No core keyboard - Fatal server error: failed to initialise core devices...' etc. Anyone help?
[09:32] <darkheart> toxicle We heard you the first time.
[09:32] <okapi_> Please, can you give me a quick hint?
[09:32] <toxicle> dark: sorry :)
[09:32] <HappyFool> okapi_: 'sudo -s', and enter you user's password
[09:33] <darkheart> !root
[09:33] <ubotu> [root]  disabled in Ubuntu, you can read all about it on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo

[09:34] <cdc> do linux have viruses?
[09:34] <wold> how come my sound card wasnt automaticly detected my ubuntu?.. found it working with: modprobe snd-es1688
[09:34] <wold> I got a ess audio driver
[09:35] <HappyFool> not many, afaik. i think linuxshield has a list of 12 (i may be wrong)
[09:35] <wold> audio card
[09:35] <darkheart> cdc You can write a virus for anything, but they are not common for Linux.
[09:35] <funkyHat> cdc, toxicle, just do /msg ubotu install (or /msg ubotu ping)
[09:35] <AristoMagnus> hi !
[09:35] <AristoMagnus> Is it safe to upgrade to breezy?
[09:35] <AristoMagnus> im on amd64 arch
[09:35] <maddler> AristoMagnus: I just did...
[09:35] <AristoMagnus> maddler: and what happen :P
[09:35] <maddler> and everything working fine... :)
[09:36] <AristoMagnus> good
[09:36] <Jester> k
[09:36] <jamie_k> bah! hehe
[09:36] <AristoMagnus> is breezy is stable yet?
[09:36] <egytrack> is there a ftp with a GUI ?
[09:36] <maddler> AristoMagnus: it is for ma at least...
[09:36] <darkheart> !tell AristoMagnus about breezy
[09:36] <AristoMagnus> maddler: your running amd64 arch?
[09:36] <jamie_k> egytrack: gftp
[09:36] <maddler> egytrack: try gftp
[09:36] <maddler> AristoMagnus: yes...
[09:36] <maddler> :D
[09:36] <egytrack> is there a ftp server with a GUI ?
[09:36] <egytrack> yes i try gftp .. nice
[09:36] <maddler> egytrack: and two... try gftp
[09:36] <darkheart> egytrack Try installing an ftp server and using webmin
[09:36] <ColonelKernel> how do I get hebrew support for ubuntu?
[09:37] <jamie_k> and then there's always gftp...
[09:37] <wold> I just got up my sound card driver.. but isnt working in some programs..
[09:37] <darkheart> egytrack Although that requires an http server also.
[09:37] <wold> when I start "esd".. it works
[09:37] <jamie_k> please, there must be some xorg config wizard out there... i mean a live breathing one...
[09:37] <wold> whats the best way of making it work.. without writing any command?
[09:37] <egytrack> i have apache2 installed
[09:37] <AristoMagnus> maddler: how can you switch to breezy?
[09:37] <darkheart> linux viruses -> http://www.theregister.co.uk/2003/10/06/linux_vs_windows_viruses/
[09:37] <darkheart> cdc ^^
[09:37] <Jowi> wold: same here. i solved it by forcing alsa only.
[09:37] <maddler> oh... folks... is there a way of having all the windows from all vdsesktops listed with ALT+TAB?
[09:38] <wold> Jowi, how can I do that?
[09:38] <egytrack> webmin , installed from synaptic or apt-get ?
[09:38] <darkheart> maddler I think there is, but that would also display all the windows in the taskbar.
[09:38] <HappyFool> ColonelKernel: i'm not too sure, but you probably at least need to install the language-pack-he package
[09:38] <darkheart> egytrack Doesn't matter, they do the same thing =)
[09:38] <maddler> darkheart: that's ok for me...
[09:39] <maddler> I alread have all them listed...
[09:39] <maddler> but alt+tab only shows those from current desktop...
[09:39] <egytrack> but i could not found webmin in the synatic !
[09:39] <maddler> darkheart: and I wasnt adle to find anything on help...
[09:39] <delltony> anyone remember right off where the page is talking about different laptop setup for ubuntu?
[09:40] <Jowi> wold: first: killall esd. second: gnome->system->prefs->sound->untick "enable soundserver at startup". third: gnome->system->prefs->multimediasomething->default output sink: ALSA. fourth: tell your applications that are now set to use esd to use alsa instead (not sure that this is needed)
[09:40] <delltony> looking for the howto on setting up my laptop buttons i forgot how
[09:40] <h0sl3r> How do I add fluxbox to my GDM settings stuff?
[09:40] <DaMi3n> msg juju,  u thr
[09:41] <jamie_k> if i repeat myself, will people get angry? just updated to breezy from hoary... now X refuses to start and the error is: 'No core keyboard - Fatal server error: failed to initialise core devices...' etc. Which means I'm now sitting on this proprietary OS X machine :(
[09:41] <jatos> hi
[09:41] <maddler> AristoMagnus: simply replace hoary with breezy in /apt/sources.list
[09:41] <jatos> anyone know how to take a screenie in kde?
[09:41] <maddler> and then apt-get udate/upgrade...
[09:41] <AristoMagnus> maddler: yeah, i just did, im now downloding
[09:41] <AristoMagnus> ;)
[09:41] <egytrack> how i can install webmin ?
[09:41] <maddler> screenie=screenshot?
[09:41] <jatos> egytrack, goto webmin.sourceforge.net
[09:42] <h0sl3r> How do I add fluxbox to my GDM settings stuff?
[09:42] <jatos> and get the unix source
[09:42] <AristoMagnus> maddler: you need to reboot
[09:42] <DaMi3n> i need some help to fix my resolution....
[09:42] <AristoMagnus> after?
[09:42] <SanderD> Will things like Beagle work in Breezy when I've got an AMD64?
[09:42] <maddler> egytrack: why webmin? webmin is kinda complex if you only need a graphical ftp client...
[09:42] <jatos> fluxbox gets added to the setting automatically
[09:42] <Jowi> h0sl3r: it should be added automaticaly. If it is not, copy and edit one of the other choices in /etc/X11/gdm/Sessions
[09:42] <h0sl3r> ok
[09:42] <sly> just a quickie wuestions, any N64 emulators to apt-get ?? ;)
[09:42] <andre_r> hey, how can i give the mounted hard drives in computer:/// more meaningful names?
[09:42] <sly> i miss mario kart 64
[09:42] <DaMi3n> i can view things at 1024x768@60 and 1024x768@90 Hz
[09:42] <cdc> gusy can you help me install my extracted cedega
[09:42] <sly> and golden eye
[09:42] <cdc> ubto doesn't have the instruction
[09:42] <DaMi3n> i can view things at 1024x768@60 and 1024x768@90 Hz but no options ato view the same at 74Hz
[09:42] <tear> anyone know of a DC client compatible with 64 architecture?
[09:42] <maddler> gotta go for a while...
[09:42] <andre_r> !places
[09:42] <ubotu> andre_r: What?
[09:43] <jamie_k> !tell jamie_k about xorg
[09:43] <DaMi3n> i can view things at 1024x768@60 and 1024x768@90 Hz but no options ato view the same at 74Hz.. how do i fix it
[09:43] <egytrack> maddler : no , i need ftp server
[09:45] <jamie_k> bleh, i'm going to install OS X for  X86 instead.... yeheh
[09:45] <Jowi> DaMi3n: you probably have a slightly incorrect monitor setup. check that your horiz and vert sync values are correct in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:45] <SanderD> After I've upgraded to Breezy, can I downgrade to Hoary?
[09:46] <DaMi3n> Jowi, i user dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and specified all data needed as from the company specs...
[09:46] <disasm> egytrack: sudo apt-get install proftpd will get you an ftp server
[09:46] <cdc> ill try installing cedega later
[09:46] <egytrack> disasm: is it GUI ftp server ?
[09:47] <egytrack> disasm: thanks
[09:47] <disasm> egytrack: there's no such thing as a gui ftp server to my knowledge for linux
[09:47] <Jowi> DaMi3n: check xorg anyway. sometimes it happens that those lines are commented out.
[09:47] <Jowi> DaMi3n: xorg.conf i ment
[09:47] <DaMi3n> Jowi, i have chked it already it set corectly
[09:48] <Jowi> egytrack: proftpd is not gui (don't know any ftp servers that are) but it is very easy to set it up.
[09:48] <Jowi> DaMi3n: then i am out of ideas man.
[09:48] <delltony> anyone know the program or command to type that tells yu the key code of each key you hit like if you hit the volume up its like 154 or whatever?
[09:48] <ColonelKernel> anyone? Hebrew support for ubuntu?
[09:49] <yahalom> is gnome 2.12 in any of the repos?
[09:49] <Jester> Is it possible to get a list of packages configurable with debconf (dpkg-reconfigure) ?
[09:49] <HappyFool> delltony: 'showkey', but only works in the console, i think
[09:49] <AristoMagnus> yahalom: in breezy
[09:49] <HappyFool> Jester: synaptic can give such a list
[09:49] <yahalom> AristoMagnus, is breezy safe yet?
[09:49] <Jester> HappyFool, ok
[09:49] <jamie_k> interestingly, you will be thrilled to here, 'dexconf' has solved my problems. in case you encounter and future users with the same (quite odd) failure after a manual upgrade to breezy :-)

[09:59] <IRCMonkey> hello
[09:59] <EtherealPurple> can anyone tell me how to boot manually?
[09:59] <IRCMonkey> one favour pls...
[09:59] <Jowi> EtherealPurple: be more precise please
[09:59] <HappyFool> EtherealPurple: try 'sudo reboot' in a terminal?
[09:59] <ja_> is anybody here to tell me not to do hoary to breezy dist-upgrade, but fresh install?
[10:00] <IRCMonkey> can u help me how to reinstall Serial mouse in Ubuntu..?
[10:00] <HappyFool> EtherealPurple: otherwise press the reset switch or flick the power off and on ;)
[10:00] <jdubbin> Ubuntu "Linux for Human Beings except me"
[10:00] <EtherealPurple> i got this error and it told me that i had to "boot manually with the /boot/vmlinuz kernel on partition /dev/sda1 and root=/dev/sda1 passed as kernel argument
[10:01] <HappyFool> jdubbin: unfortunately, if we don't have experience with your problem or platform, it is very difficult to help you
[10:01] <jdubbin> I understand
[10:01] <EtherealPurple> well, when i try to boot up my computer, it either says "boot disk error" or "error booting the os"
[10:01] <Jowi> EtherealPurple: ouch. sda1 is a memory stick or something...?
[10:01] <pedrobest> ive set the root passwd and i want to allow root to logon - there is a strange issue with kdesu but i just need to get a network connection going so i dont have to run between 2 pcs for help.
[10:01] <pedrobest> how do i allow root logon
[10:01] <jdubbin> It's just frustrating being a noob
[10:02] <_reset> is the best audio player beep media player?
[10:02] <HappyFool> pedrobest: it's probable that you can't login as root in 'graphical' mode
[10:02] <EtherealPurple> Jowi: i don't really know
[10:02] <EtherealPurple> it's definitely not a memory stick
[10:02] <HappyFool> pedrobest: you should be able to login on the console (Ctl-Alt-F1 to get to console; Alt-F7 to get back to graphical mode)
[10:02] <EtherealPurple> because i don't actually own one
[10:02] <Jowi> EtherealPurple: my mp3 and camera both show as sda1, that's why i asked.
[10:02] <EtherealPurple> oh, okay
[10:03] <HappyFool> pedrobest: finally, you can somehow make kdm (or gdm) let you login as root, but i'm not sure how
[10:03] <pedrobest> i need to run a kde program called network preferneces and enable my wlan connection and then i think it will work
[10:03] <EtherealPurple> brb
[10:03] <HappyFool> EtherealPurple: do you have SATA or SCSI drives?
[10:03] <pedrobest> but that is graphical
[10:03] <EtherealPurple> yeah, sata
[10:03] <Jowi> pedrobest: sudo gdmconfig lets you tick "allow root to log in" no idea about kdm though
[10:03] <kaha> bleargh, I think everyone at #vim is asleep.  :(
[10:03] <EtherealPurple> one sata drive
[10:03] <HappyFool> EtherealPurple: sata shows up as /dev/sda*
[10:04] <EtherealPurple> yeah, okay
[10:04] <EtherealPurple> so that would explain sda1
[10:04] <_reset> why i can't play mp3 trough smb?
[10:04] <pedrobest> ill try sudo kdmconfig
[10:04] <_reset> with drag and drop
[10:04] <EtherealPurple> brb
[10:05] <EtherealPurple> never mind
[10:05] <pedrobest> ok then thats not a command
[10:05] <Sashi> hmmm
[10:05] <pedrobest> i think there needs to be a kubuntu irc
[10:05] <Sashi> hey how can i find out my monitors max hsync or w/e
[10:05] <HappyFool> pedrobest: there is one; i should have mentioned it before
[10:05] <HappyFool> pedrobest: #kubuntu
[10:06] <_reset> why i can't play mp3 trough smb?
[10:06] <_reset> with drag and drop
[10:06] <pedrobest> wow  - thanks
[10:06] <Sashi> cuz at screen resoultion i can only select up to 1280 my monitor can support up to 1680 im sure so how do i add that?
[10:06] <pedrobest> bye
[10:06] <EtherealPurple> HappyFool: so, do you know why i can't boot my computer?
[10:06] <Jowi> ubotu, tell Sashi about resolution
[10:06] <HappyFool> EtherealPurple: has ubuntu ever booted correctly?
[10:06] <EtherealPurple> no
[10:06] <EtherealPurple> i just installed it
[10:07] <EtherealPurple> not entirely sucessfully
[10:07] <HappyFool> what have you installed? ubuntu 5.04 ?
[10:07] <EtherealPurple> possibly...?
[10:07] <EtherealPurple> the hoary hedgehog one
[10:07] <HappyFool> right, that's 5.04
[10:07] <Jowi> Sashi: if that link that ubotu provided you does not give you any ideas, then you have to look in the monitors manual
[10:07] <EtherealPurple> okay
[10:07] <EtherealPurple> i thought it was
[10:08] <HappyFool> ok, why do you think the install was unsuccessful?
[10:08] <egytrack> how to install webmin to ubuntu ?
[10:08] <jamie_k> bye...
[10:08] <HappyFool> well, obviously it's not working ;)
[10:08] <EtherealPurple> well, i couldn't install a boot loader
[10:08] <HappyFool> ah
[10:08] <EtherealPurple> ha, yeah
[10:08] <HappyFool> hmm. do you have the live cd too ?
[10:08] <EtherealPurple> yeah
[10:08] <EtherealPurple> that's what i have
[10:08] <HappyFool> ok. does this machine have anything other than ubuntu ?
[10:09] <EtherealPurple> yeah
[10:09] <_reset> how can i play mp3 trough smb???
[10:09] <_reset> help
[10:09] <EtherealPurple> i have windows in another partition
[10:09] <_reset> i 've beep media player
[10:09] <EtherealPurple> i would say running but, well, it's not
[10:09] <Jowi> _reset: are you allowed to copy the files at all?
[10:09] <HappyFool> so after installing ubuntu, windows also doesn't boot?
[10:10] <egytrack> can i install it from rpm package ?
[10:10] <EtherealPurple> basically all that happens is the list of devices connected to the motherboard comes up, which happens normally right before windows boots
[10:10] <AristoMagnus> sordic:  it 580megs more with the dist-upgrade
[10:10] <HappyFool> sounds like the install mucked up the mbr -- did you tell it *not* to install a boot loader?
[10:11] <EtherealPurple> after the list comes up, it says, "DISK BOOT FAILURE; INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER"
[10:11] <HappyFool> hmm
[10:12] <EtherealPurple> and i didn't install a boot loader because the grub and the other one had fatal errors
[10:12] <funkyHat> EtherealPurple, did you use the manual partition editor when you were installing?
[10:12] <EtherealPurple> yeah
[10:12] <Jowi> sounds exactly like in the old days when you forgot to remove the floppy :-)
[10:12] <EtherealPurple> haha
[10:12] <funkyHat> did you by any chance set your ubuntu partition to 'bootable: yes'?
[10:12] <SanderD> To have /var/ at /home/, should I do "sudo ln -s /var /home/var/"?
[10:12] <EtherealPurple> ooh
[10:12] <EtherealPurple> that might be it
[10:12] <funkyHat> EtherealPurple, if you did, that would be what broke it
[10:13] <EtherealPurple> yeah
[10:13] <funkyHat> you should leave the windows partition as the boot one
[10:13] <EtherealPurple> all right
[10:13] <HappyFool> can only 1 partition be bootable?
[10:13] <funkyHat> only one partition can have the 'boot flag'
[10:13] <EtherealPurple> i would think so
[10:13] <EtherealPurple> yeah, okay
[10:13] <funkyHat> but that doesn't have a lot to do with what actually boots
[10:13] <Zac> hey, I've just installed windows XP, I have a 80 gig hard drive and partitioned it into two 5 gigs and 70 gigs, I installed windows on one of the 5 gigs, I'm wondering, is there anything that i must do before installing Ubuntu onto the other 5 gig partition?
[10:13] <Jowi> Zac: nope, install away.
[10:14] <thrush_2> EtherealPurple, you can download grub floppy image and use that to install to mbr..
[10:14] <EtherealPurple> all right
[10:14] <EtherealPurple> how would i do that?
[10:14] <Zac> so once Ubuntu is installed, I will get a duel booting option screen when starting up my computer?
[10:14] <funkyHat> thrush_2, he doesn't need to do that, he just needs to reinstall, and change the boot flag back to his windows partition
[10:14] <Jowi> Zac: yes.
[10:14] <Zac> or is there anything that i need to do before i get that
[10:14] <EtherealPurple> funkyhat: yeah, that's what i thought i would do
[10:15] <funkyHat> Zac, 5Gig is a bit on the small side...
[10:15] <EtherealPurple> i'll try that
[10:15] <Jowi> Zac: when the installer ask you if you want to install grub boot manager to MBR say "yes"
[10:15] <EtherealPurple> and i guess i'll be back here if it doesn't work
[10:15] <funkyHat> Zac, note what i said to EtherealPurple about boot flags ^
[10:15] <EtherealPurple> anyways, thanks a lot in advance
[10:16] <funkyHat> hope it works EtherealPurple :)
[10:16] <blake> does anyone know how to install fonts?
[10:16] <Zac> how would i change the boot flag?
[10:16] <thrush_2> Zac, you can in cfdisk
[10:17] <funkyHat> Zac, it's an option in the manual partition editor, just don't touch it ;)
[10:17] <funkyHat> if you do, there's a good chance it will break the bootup of your computer (not permanently, just until you change it back)
[10:18] <Zac> so what you guys say i shall do before installing Ubuntu, just just completed the new installation of XP now
[10:18] <HiddenWolf> iemand hier ervaring met hula?
[10:18] <Zac> thanks a lot guys you're a real great help
[10:18] <funkyHat> Zac, one thing: you may find that 5GB is a bit small...
[10:18] <funkyHat> 10GB will be plenty though
[10:18] <Zac> yeah for windows or Ubuntu?
[10:18] <thrush_2> funkyHat, i wouldnt think that boot flag would be unimportant with boot manager installed on the mbr?
[10:19] <Zac> maybe i should change that
[10:19] <EtherealPurple> so, i'm in the process of installing it (i'm at the partition manager, or whatever they call it)
[10:19] <EtherealPurple> my question is, if i have the windows partition as the bootable one, how will i boot into linux?
[10:19] <EtherealPurple> although i guess i can worry about that later
[10:19] <IceDC571> happy software freedom day?
[10:19] <HappyFool> EtherealPurple: the boot loader will take care of that
[10:19] <EtherealPurple> okay
[10:19] <funkyHat> thrush_2, so would i :) but it's given me lots of problems before, and also that advice has helped a lot of people on here
[10:20] <EtherealPurple> great
[10:20] <HappyFool> IceDC571: indeed ;)
[10:20] <Zac> haha IceDC571 thanks man :D
[10:20] <thrush_2> funkyHat, ok =)
[10:20] <Sashi> still doesnt work
[10:20] <EtherealPurple> brb again
[10:21] <EtherealPurple> oh, one more thing...
[10:21] <funkyHat> thrush_2, maybe if i do a bit more research about it, i could make a tutoral on changing the boot flag and using the grub installer without having to bother reinstalling ubuntu. but i'm not doing that anytime soon :P
[10:21] <EtherealPurple> just to make sure, changing the boot flag on the windows partition won't effect the data on that partition, right?
[10:21] <funkyHat> no
[10:21] <EtherealPurple> okay, good
[10:21] <EtherealPurple> i didn't think it would
[10:21] <Jowi> Zac: I have 3Gb for the system "/" and the rest for "/home" (two partitions). just in case your system have an accident later on your user files will still be alright.  good luck with the install :-)
[10:22] <JazyLNX> hey guys
[10:22] <marty> I have  a system with a SCSI drive and Ubuntu Install can not detect it. Anyone know how I can install on that drive?
[10:22] <JazyLNX> is breezy's x working mostly now? cuz i remember reading awhile back. and many where having problems with that.
[10:23] <crimsun> it works well here.
[10:23] <Zac> Aah Jowi, mmm would you mind if i spoke with you in private? it would be much appreciated :)
[10:23] <IceDC571> breezy's x is just fine now
[10:23] <JazyLNX> can anyone point me on how i would upgrade from 5.04 to 5.10 preview release please
[10:23] <esac_> i have a symbolic link to a directory. when i try to remove the link, i type "rm -f linkname" . it says "cannot remove directory: is a directory" .. so i "rmdir linkname" and it says "not a directory" .. any ideas ?
[10:23] <jdak> dlo you have to partition your drive to have two operating systems installed
[10:24] <marty> Is there a driver disk available for install, so that I can install on a SCSI drive? I could not find anything in the forum?
[10:24] <IceDC571> esac_ try rm -rf
[10:24] <IceDC571> esac_ you need the "r" in there for recursive so it will remove the whole folder
[10:24] <esac_> IceDC571: I tried, it says "cannot remove linkname: not a directory"
[10:24] <HappyFool> esac_: what does 'ls -ld <nameoflink>' say?
[10:24] <vanberge> can anybody recommend a nice html editing application?  perhaps similar in functionality to dreamweaver?
[10:25] <vanberge> :-)
[10:25] <funkyHat> NVU
[10:25] <JazyLNX> can't i just change something in the repos and then do an apt-get somthing?
[10:25] <esac_> HappyFool: drwxr-xr-x  2 root root 4096 Sep  9 23:01 dynamic/
[10:25] <Jowi> Zac: go ahead.
[10:25] <marty> vanberge, like funkyHat said, NVU is a good app for that
[10:25] <HappyFool> esac_: doesn't look like a link to me
[10:25] <marty> I have  a system with a SCSI drive and Ubuntu Install can not detect it. Anyone know how I can install on that drive?\
[10:26] <wold> how can I enable my printer as a network printer?
[10:26] <esac_> HappyFool: ls -l shows lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root   27 Sep 10 13:04 dynamic -> /root/dynamic
[10:26] <funkyHat> wold, on a windows network?
[10:26] <IceDC571> marty have you tried booting with an extra paremeter?
[10:26] <vanberge> marty, funkyHat is there a ubuntu package for that?  i cant find it via synaptic or apt.  i have universe repos available
[10:27] <wold> funkyHat, yes.. so they work for a windows network
[10:27] <funkyHat> vanberge, no, get the .package (autopackage) file from www.nvu.com
[10:27] <funkyHat> wold, you need to install the samba server packages(if you haven't already)
[10:27] <marty> IceDC571, what parameters are available that would help in detecting SCSI drives?
[10:27] <HappyFool> esac_: so ls -l and ls -ld show different things?
[10:27] <esac_> HappyFool: because "ls -lf" doesnt dereference symbolic links
[10:28] <marty> vanberge, checkout unbuntuguide.org. It is listedf there along with a ton of other great software.
[10:28] <esac_> err ls -ld
[10:28] <vanberge> marty, ty!
[10:28] <marty> vanberge, no problem
[10:29] <CookedGryphon> sob. ruddy winmodem!
[10:29] <JazyLNX> does anyone know how i can upgrade from a release to a newer release without downloading the cd
[10:29] <JazyLNX> ?
[10:29] <HappyFool> esac_: hmm. over here, ls -l, and ls -ld show the *same* think for a link to a directory
[10:29] <wold> funkyHat, yes.. and what now?
[10:29] <funkyHat> wold, erm, actually i can't remember *'_'* sorry... someone else will konw i'm sure
[10:29] <crimsun> JazyLNX: update your sources.list, sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[10:29] <esac_> must be an OS/version difference .. running RHEL4.1 here
[10:29] <esac_> HappyFool: ls (coreutils) 5.2.1
[10:30] <HappyFool> esac_: same here. You're using ext3 ?
[10:30] <JazyLNX> in the sources do i just change the release names
[10:30] <crimsun> JazyLNX: essentially.
[10:30] <esac_> HappyFool: fstab says i am
[10:31] <abe23> could someone help me with reinstalling console fonts as I think that causes me total system hangups?
[10:31] <crb> Hi all.
[10:32] <HiddenFly> where can i change my splash screen that comes up everytime i log in from?
[10:32] <HappyFool> esac_: something very screwy. i can't see how a link can appear as a directory, ever (as in your first ls output)
[10:33] <JazyLNX> what are the breezy repos?
[10:33] <HappyFool> esac_: unless you typed ls -lf there too, and /root/dynamic has a dynamic subdirectory
[10:33] <ubuntu> yoe
[10:33] <crb> If I want to file a bug against isolinux on the installer CD, should I use the 'debian-installer' package?
[10:33] <ubuntu> somebody dutch
[10:33] <esac_> HappyFool: does ls --help say for -d  "and do not dereference symbolic links
[10:33] <esac_> "
[10:33] <ubuntu> somebody dutch
[10:34] <crb> ubuntu: #ubuntu-nl ?
[10:34] <HappyFool> esac_: no, it says -d, --directory            list directory entries instead of contents,
[10:34] <jdak> dlo you have to partition your drive to have two operating systems installed
[10:35] <funkyHat> how can i make polypaudio use alsa? at the moment it's locking up my soundcard :(
[10:35] <esac_> what's after that comma
[10:35] <HappyFool> esac_: erm, grep cut stuff off. stand by
[10:35] <h0sl3r> What is a good menu generator/editor for fluxbox?
[10:35] <Lie-Algebra> hi, supposing I want to download cvs sources from sourceforge (madwifi drivers), how should I start the command : "cvs -d ... " ?
[10:35] <HappyFool> esac_: right, don't dereference links
[10:35] <crimsun> funkyHat: err, tell it to use the proper alsa modules instead of the oss ones
[10:35] <filloy> hello all !...i need help with my log in :P the thing is that i cant log in because when i type the user and passwords, i only get squares insted of letters. I have to log in from the terminal and startx manually. Thanx for the help :)
[10:36] <esac_> weird .. it sounds like maybe the difference that we are seeing is the issue then .. but i dont know how to solve it
[10:36] <funkyHat> crimsun, how can i do that? :)
[10:36] <crimsun> funkyHat: edit the conffile
[10:36] <CookedGryphon> filloy, is it tryign to do it in japanese or something?
[10:36] <EtherealPurple> hello again
[10:37] <HappyFool> esac_: however, ls -l and ls -ld give the same output for a symlink to a directory here. i have ls aliased to 'ls --color=auto' -- i see you have some other 'default' flags? (to get the trailing '/')
[10:37] <filloy> CookedGryphon nope, it displays squares :) no japanese or any funky lenguage
[10:37] <CookedGryphon> filloy, try checking u have english selected in the language thing
[10:37] <CookedGryphon> yeah but squares usually means it can't find the right font
[10:37] <marty> I have  a system with a SCSI drive and Ubuntu Install can not detect it. Anyone know how I can install on that drive?
[10:37] <filloy> CookedGryphon actually its spanish, but english wil work :p
[10:37] <CookedGryphon> so if it was tryin to do a crazy font.. maybe
[10:37] <EtherealPurple> i got an error trying to install the GRUB loader again
[10:37] <funkyHat> filloy, that means it probably is japanese or something :P and you don't have the right fonts
[10:37] <HiddenFly> where can i change my splash screen that comes up everytime i log in from?
[10:37] <filloy> funkyHat ok, ill try something more normal, like Tahoma :p
[10:37] <jdermer> hey guys
[10:37] <esac_> HappyFool: just alias ls='ls --color=tty'  ... using ssh
[10:38] <jdermer> i just installed hedgehog and i got a question
[10:38] <jdermer> when i go to update it seems like a cd-rom is the only source
[10:38] <jdermer> is there no like internet-update
[10:38] <jdak> do you have to partition your drive to have two operating systems installed
[10:38] <egytrack> is there something else like webmin ?
[10:38] <EtherealPurple> who?
[10:38] <HappyFool> esac_: hrm. what does 'file dynamic' say ?
[10:39] <AristoMagnus> doh! the KDE package unmet dependency while dist-upgrade to breezy on amd64
[10:39] <AristoMagnus> :(
[10:39] <HappyFool> esac_: oh, and i presume you are using sudo for the 'rm' command ?
[10:39] <CookedGryphon> jdermer, u need to look in tools, repos or something
[10:39] <esac_> HappyFool: dynamic/: directory
[10:39] <CookedGryphon> or !repos
[10:39] <CookedGryphon> !repos
[10:39] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, repos is at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto A list of official repositories can be found at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/969
[10:39] <Jowi> HiddenFly: if you are talking about gdm, then you just run "sudo gdmconfig" in a terminal.
[10:39] <abe23> is there any checkdisk tool installed with ubuntu to check hard disk integrity from the terminal?
[10:39] <esac_> HappyFool: well currently i am running as root
[10:39] <CookedGryphon> okay jdermer ?
[10:39] <jdermer> huh?
[10:39] <jdermer> repos ?
[10:39] <CookedGryphon> repositories
[10:39] <filloy> jdermer repositories :)
[10:39] <Jowi> HiddenFly: or are you talking about the gnome-splash image?
[10:39] <HappyFool> esac_: ok, so sudo is not an issue. how about 'touch foo; ln foo bar; file *' ? does file say it's a link?
[10:40] <_reset> how can play an avi  trough samba???
[10:40] <CookedGryphon> jdermer, update servers
[10:40] <jdermer> i dont c that
[10:40] <_reset> what player?
[10:40] <filloy> CookedGryphon ok, how can i change the font for the log in ?....
[10:40] <scott_utd> hi, i'm trying to install xsupplicant on Ubuntu PowerPC, but i get the error: library 'crypto' is required for Open1x
[10:40] <HiddenFly> Jowi: yea the one that comes just after logging in
[10:40] <abe23> is there any console browser installed with ubuntu like lynx?
[10:40] <EtherealPurple> anyone know why i would get fatal errors installing boot loaders?
[10:40] <scott_utd> i read this means i need to install libssl-dev, but i don't know where to get it
[10:40] <crimsun> abe23: w3m
[10:40] <CookedGryphon> filloy, try choosing spanish or whatever in the languages drop down box in gdm
[10:40] <Jowi> HiddenFly: oh, i am not using gnome so i will have to dig a bit. brb
[10:40] <HiddenFly> k
[10:40] <HappyFool> esac_: it looks like somehow your system is confused about what 'dynamic' is
[10:40] <esac_> HappyFool: it says "empty" for both
[10:40] <emp-> Hey, how can I remove the AM/PM on the clock in the gnome-panel..taking up precious panel space
[10:40] <CookedGryphon> abe23, apt-get lynx :D
[10:41] <jdermer> where should i be lookin ?
[10:41] <crb> emp: right click/preferences
[10:41] <crb> 24 hour?
[10:41] <HappyFool> esac_: hmm. so somehow your system can't distinguish links from normal files ?
[10:41] <JazyLNX> the site from ubotu didn't give me breezy repos
[10:41] <HappyFool> esac_: oh, oops
[10:41] <JazyLNX> anyone know them?
[10:41] <HiddenFly> i couldnt find any option for changing it from gdmconfig
[10:41] <abe23> thanks cookedgryphon and crimsun
[10:41] <jdubbin> i finally got something to work, but now Ubuntu Config is freezing up when trying to install packages
[10:41] <HappyFool> esac_: sorry, i meant ln -s foo bar
[10:41] <filloy> CookedGryphon ok, changed every keyboard layout i have, lets see if it works....
[10:41] <CookedGryphon> ubotu tell jdermer about repos
[10:41] <CookedGryphon> filloy okay
[10:41] <filloy> CookedGryphon thanx, by !
[10:41] <Jowi> HiddenFly: http://gnome-hacks.jodrell.net/hacks.html?id=16
[10:41] <CookedGryphon> did it work?
[10:41] <scott_utd> hi, i'm trying to install xsupplicant on Ubuntu PowerPC, but i get the error: library 'crypto' is required for Open1x
[10:41] <scott_utd> i read this means i need to install libssl-dev, but i don't know where to get it
[10:42] <abe23> how can I reinstall console fonts? When booting there is a "Setting up general console font" fail.
[10:42] <HappyFool> esac_: i'm sure it should work now (i.e., it should mark 'bar' as a symlink)
[10:42] <CookedGryphon> scott_utd, have u tried apt-get on it?
[10:42] <esac_> HappyFool: ok so "file dynamic" says "directory" but "file *" shows dynamic as a symbolic link to /root/dynamic
[10:42] <scott_utd> ah, good idea
[10:42] <crimsun> scott_utd: sudo aptitude install libssl-dev
[10:42] <GeekS> #ubuntu-es
[10:42] <HiddenFly> Jowi: ill try that, thanks
[10:42] <esac_> screw it, i'll just copy what i need out and rm -rf the whole directory :)
[10:42] <HappyFool> esac_: very weird
[10:43] <Jowi> HiddenFly: you're welcome
[10:43] <EtherealPurple> anyone know why installing boot loaders would keep failing?
[10:43] <funkyHat> EtherealPurple, sometimes they can be messy.... have you tried using lilo?
[10:44] <EtherealPurple> sort of
[10:44] <funkyHat> and have you tried installing grub to hda1 rather than mbr?
[10:44] <jdermer> thanx for the link
[10:44] <EtherealPurple> funyHat: how would i do that?
[10:44] <jdermer> but i dont know which repos to check off
[10:45] <CookedGryphon> i have all of them apart from the sources ones jdermer
[10:45] <marty> I have  a system with a SCSI drive and Ubuntu Install can not detect it. Anyone know how I can install on that drive?
[10:45] <jdermer> k
[10:46] <jdermer> lemme give it a try
[10:46] <jdubbin> marty try and use Breezy
[10:46] <JazyLNX> alright guys
[10:46] <JazyLNX> i'm going to give breezy a try
[10:46] <JazyLNX> if i don't come back
[10:46] <JazyLNX> you know what happened
[10:46] <jdubbin> I asked the same question early this morning
[10:46] <jdubbin> No one has a solution
[10:47] <jdermer> so after adding the repos
[10:47] <jdermer> do i just do mark all upgrades ?
[10:47] <CookedGryphon> yeah and then what did u want to install? i forgot
[10:47] <_reset> how can play an avi  trough samba???
[10:47] <_reset> what player?
[10:47] <CookedGryphon> all upgrades jstu updates the packages on ure system to the latest version
[10:47] <jdubbin> But now I'm getting freeze ups when trying to install packages
[10:47] <_reset> how?
[10:48] <CookedGryphon> if u want new ones  jdermer u have to apt-get them
[10:48] <EtherealPurple> funkyHat: should i install the LILO boot loader on the master boot partition or the new ubuntu partition?
[10:48] <CookedGryphon> or synaptic and search which i prefer
[10:48] <afabian> When I start the Ubuntu installer on my laptop, it's halfway rolled off of the screen.  Very difficult to continue.  Is there a solution or workaround for that issue?
[10:48] <funkyHat> EtherealPurple, try the mbr first
[10:48] <EtherealPurple> funkyHat: how do i do that?
[10:48] <AristoMagnus> How can i free the ram
[10:49] <funkyHat> EtherealPurple, i can't remember sorry, haven't used lilo for years
[10:49] <jdermer> huh?
[10:49] <EtherealPurple> oh
[10:49] <EtherealPurple> okay then
[10:49] <jdermer> apt-get wut ?
[10:49] <EtherealPurple> wait
[10:49] <CookedGryphon> lol i can't remember what u wanted in the sstart
[10:49] <EtherealPurple> funkyHat: would the mbr be the master boot partition?
[10:49] <funkyHat> yes probably
[10:49] <EtherealPurple> okay
[10:50] <EtherealPurple> then i think i know how to do it
[10:50] <EtherealPurple> thanks
[10:50] <CookedGryphon> oh yeah, jdermer i remember, yeah taht will install updates, apt-get update
[10:50] <CookedGryphon> and then when u want new packages apt-get whatever u want
[10:50] <funkyHat> ok, hope it works :)
[10:50] <jdermer> wut does the synaptic thing do then
[10:50] <CookedGryphon> taht's a gui for apt-get
[10:51] <scott_utd> anyone else tried to install xsupplicant?
[10:51] <EtherealPurple> well, it failed again
[10:51] <EtherealPurple> i tried the "master boot partition" option
[10:51] <jdermer> ?
[10:52] <jonphilpott> hi.. im new to ubuntu, i installed breezy today, trying to install w32codecs, but it can't seem to find it, and i believe i have the right stuff in sources.list, any ideas?
[10:52] <CookedGryphon> jdermer, what's the problem?
[10:52] <thrush_2> jonphilpott, you have universe and multiverse in your sources.list possible it was moved to extras in which case youll have to add one more repo
[10:53] <jdermer> wut is the differece betwen apt-get and using the snypatic manager
[10:53] <ColonelKernel> kerwin white?
[10:53] <ColonelKernel> Kerwin - is that you?
[10:53] <EtherealPurple> funkyHat: can i not install a boot loader and still run windows if it has the boot flag?
[10:53] <CookedGryphon> nothing, apart from one is in the command line and the other u get a window and can browse through the available packages
[10:53] <bytefoo> HP's Sean Owen-Jones also said the company would shortly be releasing desktop and notebook PCs running Ubuntu Linux. The NX6110 notebook would be available shortly with Ubuntu and a desktop PC would also be available.
[10:53] <jonphilpott> thrush_2: just need to add extras onto the end of the list?
[10:53] <ColonelKernel> bytefoo, nice
[10:53] <marty> jdermer, apt-get is a command line tool, synaptic is a graphical front end to apt-get
[10:53] <EtherealPurple> *if the windows partition has the boot flag
[10:54] <_reset> how use smb in video lan???
[10:54] <_reset> how use smb in video lan???
[10:54] <ColonelKernel> see linux would have taken off a lot sooner if it had a community like ubuntu's
[10:54] <EtherealPurple> haha, yeah, probably
[10:54] <ColonelKernel> but imagine yourself a windows user going into #debian for help
[10:54] <funkyHat> EtherealPurple, installing the boot loader should mean you can choose to boot windows or linux
[10:54] <segphault> hi, I just tried to upgrade a warty system to breezy, and I ran into some probs with X. It won't replace xfree86 packages with the relevant xorg packages for some reason. Does anybody know how to fix that?
[10:54] <CookedGryphon> _reset, can you play video locally?
[10:54] <EtherealPurple> yeah, but what if i can't install it?
[10:55] <funkyHat> you can repair windows using your windows installer CD
[10:55] <thrush_2> jonphilpott, seems likely the path should be on the ubuntu wiki site
[10:55] <EtherealPurple> oh
[10:55] <EtherealPurple> really?
[10:55] <funkyHat> but then you won't be able to boot into linux
[10:55] <EtherealPurple> yeah, well, that wouldn't be the end of the world
[10:56] <EtherealPurple> it'd be a lot more annoying not to be able to run windows than not to be able to run linux
[10:56] <EtherealPurple> brb
[10:56] <CookedGryphon> i haven't booted into windows in weeks since i got ubuntu set up :D
[10:56] <_reset> CookedGryphon,  yes
[10:56] <fanskapet> *yawns
[10:56] <CookedGryphon> _reset, then i'm afraid i have no idea sorry
[10:56] <ColonelKernel> ph yeah its easy to repair windows boot
[10:57] <_reset> lol
[10:57] <ColonelKernel> fixboot and fixmbr and youre good
[10:57] <afabian> Depends on what the error is.  Windows can be fiendishly complicated to fix.
[10:57] <ColonelKernel> if your windows boot gets killed
[10:58] <ColonelKernel> if you get system files deleted and the such youre in trouble
[10:58] <CookedGryphon> if u snap ure windows disk in two and wipe ure hdd completely.. then ure in trouble
[10:59] <scott_utd> anyone else tried to install xsupplicant?
[11:00] <funkyHat> CookedGryphon, i wouldn't define that as 'in trouble' i'd define that as 'a good time to scrap that windows shit alltogether'
[11:00] <InitMass> which is correct english, "expression by David" or "expression of David"?
[11:00] <funkyHat> XD
[11:00] <twibbler> CookedGryphon: I would say it was a good plan ....
[11:00] <scott_utd> David's Expression
[11:00] <mik3> hi i just installed ftpd how do i turn the server on
[11:00] <jdubbin> i'm starting to think I should just stick to Windoze. Anyway, it was fun
[11:00] <EtherealPurple> funkyHat: how would i go about repairing my windows installation?
[11:00] <Hoxzer> how I can check the names of my hdd?
[11:01] <mik3> jdubbin: true words of a spoken failure
[11:01] <funkyHat> ask ColonelKernel, he seems to know :)
[11:01] <jdubbin> I fail at life
[11:01] <mik3> hold on, i'll call the wahhhmbulance
[11:01] <mik3> hi i just installed ftpd how do i turn the server on
[11:01] <jonphilpott> has anyone else had troubles burning dvds too? it doesnt seem to recognise any blank dvd i put in when i try to burn with nautlius
[11:01] <fanskapet> hmm anyone here uses xfce?
[11:01] <twibbler> jdubbin: just remember when you started using windows .... then think how easier it is to start using ubuntu ...
[11:01] <ksmurf> hello all.  I hope this doesn't sound too noobish but is there a way to "slim down" a ubuntu kernal and remove all the stuff I don't want? or do I have to compile my kernel?   Anyone know how I can install on that drive?
[11:02] <jdubbin> Maybe I'll try later, but I have hmomework.  That should take care of it - but - i haven't used a winxp cd in a loooooong time so i'm a bit rusty. should be a command called fixboot or something there as well...
[11:03] <EtherealPurple> haha
[11:03] <EtherealPurple> okay, thanks
[11:03] <jdubbin> fixmbr is all I need to get rid of grub right
[11:03] <EtherealPurple> i got to the console, i just didn't know what to do there
[11:03] <okapi_> hi guys, I need help about root access. I read docs in http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo but I can not do it.
[11:03] <funkyHat> okapi_, do sudo -i
[11:04] <thrush_2> okapi_, you need a root console?
[11:04] <mik3> what's a good ftp server to install
[11:04] <okapi_> Yes, I can do it
[11:04] <funkyHat> okapi_, why do you need a root console?
[11:05] <okapi_> My proglem is I can not sign as root in GUI
[11:05] <Monkey12> Try the user password you gave to it in the installattion
[11:06] <okapi_> Yes, that is okay but I can not configure anything
[11:06] <Sashi> hmm
[11:06] <Sashi> in mozilla flash sounds doesnt work

[11:10] <zblach> CookedGryphon, i'm having keyboard issues with it. any suggestions?
[11:10] <GNU-GPL> fanskapet, check your config
[11:10] <GNU-GPL> :)
[11:10] <Jowi> okapi_: that will run the setup for gdm (login manager). in there you will have an option to enable root to log in using the graphical interface.
[11:10] <newubuntuuser> Could anyone here help me with an issue I am experiencing?
[11:10] <zblach> newubuntuuser, elaborate, and let us get to it
[11:10] <vanberge_> newubuntuuser, just go ahead and ask
[11:10] <GNU-GPL> newubuntuuser, ask your question and maybe
[11:10] <CookedGryphon> zblach, not really, i wasn't enlightened back then, i was using a windows version
[11:10] <Jowi> newubuntuuser: just ask. if someone can help they will :-)
[11:10] <fanskapet> GNU-GPL: hmm should i relaly need a config file to connect via smbclient?
[11:10] <zblach> ah. maybe its a general keyboard issue then
[11:11] <newubuntuuser> I am trying to get my HD recognized and formatted, but it seems to dislike its Mac formatting
[11:11] <okapi_> Jowi: tx, I'll try it.
[11:11] <fanskapet> does it even have a configfile!?
[11:11] <newubuntuuser> Thaks!
[11:11] <fanskapet> i tought only the smbd had one
[11:11] <zblach> my delete and backspace keys just leave boxes
[11:11] <ksmurf> hello all.  I hope this doesn't sound too noobish but is there a way to "slim down" a ubuntu kernal and remove all the stuff I don't want? or do I have to compile my kernel?  If I have to recomiple a kernel do I use a vanilla or one from The repos?
[11:11] <GNU-GPL> fanskapet, sure it does
[11:11] <blendor> #ubuntu-fr
[11:11] <Jowi> ubotu, tell newubuntuuser about windowsdrives

[11:13] <Makoqui> irc-hispano.org
[11:13] <Jowi> h0sl3r: xdm, but it is VERY limited. wdm might be better for you.
[11:13] <newubuntuuser> ubotu: help please!
[11:14] <vanberge_> h0sl3r, hopefully there is a ubuntu fluxer in here
[11:14] <Jowi> newubuntuuser: ubotu is not a person
[11:14] <h0sl3r> Jowi: I dont really like wdm
[11:14] <Jowi> h0sl3r: me neither :-)
[11:14] <GNU-GPL> newubuntuuser, ubotu is a bot
[11:14] <GNU-GPL> :)
[11:14] <CookedGryphon> h0sl3r, try apt-get fluxconf
[11:14] <zblach> Jowi, lmfao

[11:14] <vanberge_> brb
[11:14] <CookedGryphon> oh rite, ah well
[11:15] <h0sl3r> vanberge_: I tried getting the menu genorator by compiling fluxbox, but make fails.
[11:15] <okapi_> how can you synchronize 2 Kcontact?
[11:15] <GNU-GPL> newubuntuuser, we're patient
[11:15] <newubuntuuser> how can the bot help me?
[11:15] <Jowi> newubuntuuser: unfortunatley, i do not have any experience with mac drives

[11:20] <ksmurf> dami3n I can send you my sorces.list file if you want
[11:21] <DaMi3n> newubuntuuser: wha do u mean by iniialize
[11:21] <maar> can any1 help me setup wine, running ubuntu 5.10? please
[11:21] <DaMi3n> ksmurf, sure that'll be great
[11:21] <Jowi> newubuntuuser: you can try to open a terminal and type "sudo gparted" that might give you a clue.... it is a graphical partitionmanager
[11:21] <Heuristic> beefcake, ay
[11:21] <newubuntuuser> I'll give it a shot...
[11:22] <h0sl3r> vanberge: looks like im gonna have to do this manually
[11:22] <vanberge> h0sl3r, hold on...
[11:22] <vanberge> i may be onto something
[11:22] <maar> can any1 help me setup wine, running ubuntu 5.10? please
[11:23] <thellama> what is a good parition utility?
[11:23] <Hoxzer> :E
[11:23] <durt> why do you need wine?
[11:23] <Hoxzer> ........this didn't seem to be so stable
[11:23] <h0sl3r> thellama: fdisk
[11:23] <thellama> thanks
[11:23] <Hoxzer> just tried to mount hdb and the whole system just crashed
[11:23] <Jowi> thellama: gparted is graphical
[11:24] <egytrack> how to get packages like webmin for ubuntu ?
[11:24] <Jowi> Hoxzer: hdb might wrong. try hdb1, hdb2 etc
[11:24] <Hoxzer> Jowi: but the whole system crashed :E
[11:24] <Jowi> Hoxzer: yes, i know. i did the same mistake just today
[11:24] <helio7> I've lost the ability to burn via gnomebaker/ cdrecord etc.  Can someone remind me the cdrecord syntax so I can capture the errors & request expert help???
[11:25] <Hoxzer> but I think linux is stable
[11:25] <Hoxzer> *thought
[11:25] <jonphilpott> thrush_2: perhaps you might know the answero this; i just moved from suse 9.3 to ubuntu, but i can't burn dvds in nautilus anymore, asks me to insert a blank dvd when there is one in there, lots of message in syslog about hdc commands fialing, etc.
[11:25] <garvint> I'm trying to do administrative tasks in Ubuntu, but can't seem to figure out the root password.   Then i'll definately choose gparted
[11:25] <vanberge> h0sl3r, i got it dude...
[11:25] <helio7> This is the 2nd time I've lost the ability to burn cds/dvds & last time I had to reinstall; any ideas are welcome
[11:25] <vanberge> the guys in #fluxbox helped me...
[11:26] <h0sl3r> vanberge: ok how?
[11:26] <Jowi> thellama: yep, give it a go. it is my favourite
[11:26] <dooglus> my 'bash' environment has LANG=en_US.UTF-8 in it.  Any idea how I can change it?  Is there a "language dialog" somewhere?
[11:26] <zblach> why wouldn't my delete and backspace keys work?
[11:26] <vanberge> go here, copy the text, paste it into a file, then run that file as a shell script from your /home/username/.fluxbox directory
[11:26] <vanberge> http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/fluxbox/trunk/util/fluxbox-generate_menu.in?&view=markup
[11:26] <thellama> thanks Jowi :)
[11:26] <ksmurf> DaMi3n Did u get it?
[11:26] <jdermer> after updating packages with synaptic do i need to restart ?
[11:26] <DaMi3n> ksmurf, yea
[11:26] <Jowi> dooglus: dpkg-reconfigure locals
[11:26] <helio7> dooglus have you edited .bashrc ?
[11:26] <dooglus> helio7: yes, lots
[11:26] <DaMi3n> ksmurf, i am changin my repos now
[11:27] <ksmurf> jdermer only if it's a kernel upgrade...
[11:27] <twibbler> jdermer: No....
[11:27] <dooglus> helio7: but nothing to do with LANG
[11:27] <h0sl3r> vanberge: cool thanks
[11:27] <riddlebox> can anyone tell me i f the apt repositories are as good as actual debian sources?
[11:27] <ksmurf> Dami3n Nvidia?
[11:27] <helio7> dooglus it's a set -option
[11:27] <vanberge> h0sl3r, let me know if questions, but worked fine for me
[11:27] <helio7> dooglus type set and see what it's set too
[11:27] <Jowi> dooglus: sudo dpkg-reconfigure locals - will change the language settings for the whole system
[11:27] <DaMi3n> ksmurf, yea
[11:27] <luite> does anyone know how I can find out why a kernel (which I built using make-kpkg) does not boot at all? It just says "Uncompressing linux... Ok, booting the kernel.", and then.. nothing... nothing at all
[11:27] <Hoxzer> and again
[11:27] <Hoxzer> :E
[11:28] <Hoxzer> it was hdb2 btw
[11:28] <Hoxzer> :E
[11:28] <ksmurf> DaMi3n pm me
[11:28] <DaMi3n> uh how
[11:28] <Jowi> Hoxzer: so it worked or it crashed again?
[11:28] <Hoxzer> I just write sudo moun /dev/hdb2 /mnt/share
[11:28] <Hoxzer> it crashed
[11:28] <Jowi> ouch
[11:28] <dooglus> Jowi: it doesn't work: chris@chrislap:~$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure locals
[11:28] <dooglus> Package `locals' is not installed and no info is available.
[11:28] <Hoxzer> everything just froze
[11:28] <dooglus> helio7: set shows me what it's set to.  how does it get set though?
[11:28] <dandelion> dooglus: 'locales'
[11:29] <Jowi> dooglus: sorry, i made a typo. sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[11:29] <Hoxzer> what should I do?
[11:29] <helio7> dooglus help set|less
[11:29] <dooglus> chris@chrislap:~$ echo $(set | grep LANG)
[11:29] <dooglus> LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_GB:en
[11:29] <Xorlev> Ack, is anyone else getting dependency hell with libgtk2.0-dev? I'm trying to add it through Synaptic, but it won't go in and isn't marking this one package as a dependency, then when I try to mark it it won't mark these other packages.
[11:29] <DaMi3n> i accepted i
[11:29] <Hoxzer> it is Fat32 partition
[11:29] <dooglus> ok, locales is working.  it's showing a list of locales in a funny text gui
[11:29] <jdermer> anyone using the new firefox beta?
[11:30] <egytrack> why ignore me ?
[11:30] <h0sl3r> vanberge: awsome. it worked.
[11:30] <h0sl3r> gonna switch to fluxbox now, brb
[11:30] <Jowi> Hoxzer: can you try: mount -t vfat /dev/hdb2 /mnt/whatever
[11:30] <egytrack> ow .. !
[11:30] <newubuntuuser> No luck. It doesn't recognize it at all... I guess, I will have to install Windows first, then intialize the disk with XP, then go back toi ubuntu... $#!+
[11:30] <helio7> can someone tell me the correct syntax for CDrecord to capture debug info and figure out why cd-burning broke?
[11:30] <riddlebox> can anyone tell me i f the apt repositories are as good as actual debian sources?
[11:31] <dandelion> riddlebox: your question makes no sense at all...
[11:31] <Jowi> newubuntuuser: sorry i couldn't be of more help
[11:31] <beefcake> what do you mean by as good as?
[11:31] <beefcake> figure out what you need, check if they are in the ubuntu repositories
[11:31] <riddlebox> is every package thats in debian repositories in ubuntu's repos?
[11:31] <beefcake> proly not
[11:31] <ksmurf> riddle no
[11:31] <bsharitt> When trying ot compile stuff on Breezy, I get the following error: checking whether the C compiler (gcc  ) works... no
[11:31] <bsharitt> configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executable
[11:31] <bsharitt> Any ideas on what its wrong?
[11:32] <kashms>  /msg NickServ IDENTIFY kashifs
[11:32] <bsharitt> And I do have gcc 4.0.01 installed
[11:32] <Hoxzer> JowI: :D ok.. solved
[11:32] <Xorlev> bsharitt: Permissions errors?
[11:32] <Hoxzer> there were somekind of problem ;/
[11:32] <Xorlev> Sounds like it can't write the generated executable.
[11:32] <Hoxzer> qtparted shows I have 2 parttions both size 112GB
[11:32] <Hoxzer> but My HDD is only 120GB
[11:32] <maar> any1 here have experience with world of warcraft under ubuntu?
[11:33] <Jowi> Hoxzer: tell me your insights. i want to double my diskspace as well! haha
[11:33] <lakcaj> Does anyone know why alsaconf is not in alsa-utils?
[11:33] <erUSUL> Hoxzer, it can be a logical partition inside the extendez partition
[11:33] <Hoxzer> Jowi: I cannot mount the other one
[11:33] <linlin> what will change between the breezy preview taht is out and the final release expected oct 13th ?
[11:33] <Hoxzer> erUSUL: yes the file system is extended
[11:34] <Jowi> linlin: bugfixes
[11:34] <linlin> is it worth installing it now? or will i have to do it again in a month
[11:34] <zblach> alright
[11:34] <zblach> i have an X window open
[11:34] <filloy> ok, back again with the same problem. At kdm startup, i cant log in because i cant type, it only shows squares, not letters. Somebody told me like an hour ago, that i should change the lenguage to fit my keyboard. Now its in spanish and i still get the strange boxes instead of letters, ideas ?  thanx
[11:34] <zblach> and i can't use ctrl, alt, shift, del, bksp
[11:34] <zblach> why not?
[11:34] <Jowi> linlin: personally i would wait, but some people say its stable enough.
[11:34] <newubuntuuser> Jowi: Thanks for trying!
[11:35] <Hoxzer> ok, now how can I change the permissions of the directory what I mounted
[11:35] <Jowi> zblach: what is your language?
[11:35] <zblach> ...english
[11:35] <newubuntuuser> See you all later! :-)  Good luck with everything!
[11:35] <Hoxzer> I just want to change the owner ;/
[11:35] <Jowi> zblach: try: setxkbdmap en
[11:35] <smx> Does someone here know if the Java runtime package is the Sun package or a "dummy"? I
[11:35] <erUSUL> Hoxzer, chmod ??
[11:36] <Jowi> zblach: try: setxkbmap en (typo again)
[11:36] <smx> I've installed the standard package and jre still deosn't work.
[11:36] <zblach> Jowi: "Error Loading new keyboard desc"
[11:36] <twibbler> Hoxzer: se the chown command ...
[11:36] <Jowi> filloy: if no one can help you here then you can try in #kubuntu which uses kdm instead of gdm
[11:37] <zblach> on a related note, how can i use the media buttons on my keyboard with xmms?
[11:37] <filloy> Jowi yep, ive tried there :P but the same people here and there :P ill try again, thanx
[11:37] <Jowi> zblach: wierd.
[11:37] <dooglus> thanks for the 'locales' help.  that worked fine once I logged out and in again.
[11:37] <Jowi> dooglus: you're welcome
[11:38] <topyli> i hate web browsers. where is the full-featured browser with less resource-hogness and full gnome integration? i'd love epiphany if it supported firefox plugins
[11:38] <windex> i'd like to reccomend, uh, firefox.
[11:38] <windex> :P~
[11:39] <dooglus> does ubuntu default to using "en_US.UTF-8"?  If so, it should be changed to something non-UTF until they fix grep.
[11:39] <windex> firefox uses less resources than mozilla suite :)
[11:39] <filloy> windex: or maybe.....firefox :p
[11:39] <twibbler> dooglus: im confused grep works fine ...
[11:39] <topyli> windex: like in firefox, you can disable flash until you click on the flash entity. you can't do that in epiphany
[11:39] <dooglus> twibbler: grep doesn't work well with UTF languages
[11:40] <twibbler> dooglus works fine on my system ...
[11:40] <windex> dooglus, grep is broken?
[11:40] <Jowi> topyli: that's my favourite plugin. ever.
[11:40] <topyli> firefox is not very gnome'y
[11:40] <NightBird> hm...
[11:40] <windex> topyli, sure it is.
[11:40] <windex> :P
[11:41] <Jowi> i would love to have a browser with firefox features but DILLO speed!
[11:41] <topyli> i like epiphany. i have to start nagging to the developers so they start supporting firefox plugins :)
[11:41] <windex> i think firefox would be better if it was as fast as using telnet to fetch pages.
[11:41] <ksmurf> I want to recompile my kernal.... do I use a kernel from kernel.org or one from the repo?
[11:41] <topyli> ksmurf: use the ubuntu source
[11:41] <NightBird> hm...
[11:41] <NightBird> a bunch of grey stuff...
[11:42] <NightBird> something tells me...
[11:42] <NightBird> that this isn't right..
[11:42] <smx> Anyone had success installing java runtime plugin for Firefox?
[11:42] <ksmurf> topyli.... is ther an i686 smp source?
[11:42] <Jowi> NightBird: huh? :-)
[11:42] <h0sl3r> Anyone suggest some cool fluxbox themes
[11:42] <topyli> ksmurf: the sources are general, not for any architecture
[11:42] <Hoxzer> GEEEEZ :E
[11:42] <dooglus> windex: it's an old bug.  grep is very slow with UTF languages: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1148
[11:42] <NightBird> hm... I can't change the default input...
[11:43] <ttyS0> where are kernel modules stored?
[11:43] <CookedGryphon> i would love to have a full featured poerating system with all the apps i'll ever need on my 128mb usbdisk, but there's reasons it aint
[11:43] <erUSUL> dooglus, what is your problem whith grep
[11:43] <erUSUL> ?
[11:43] <NightBird> and the input connections configuration has aboslutely nothing in it..
[11:43] <windex> dooglus, oh. uh. whenever i have to parse lots of files i just write code. :P
[11:43] <Hoxzer> do I need to mount fat32 with some special way too?
[11:43] <Jowi> CookedGryphon: i think there is a slax distro for that....
[11:43] <ksmurf> topyli.... thanks ... THis is my first attempt at this
[11:44] <CookedGryphon> Jowi, not really, it doesn't do everything i want
[11:44] <Jowi> Hoxzer: in /etc/fstab i have this: /dev/hda7       /media/data       vfat    defaults,umask=000        0       0
[11:44] <topyli> ksmurf: when you configure your kernel, grab the ubuntu config file from /boot and start from that. then change what you need
[11:44] <dooglus> erUSUL: see http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1148 for a proper description of the bug
[11:45] <ksmurf> topyli .... thanks
[11:46] <topyli> ksmurf: are you using a 686-specific ubuntu kernel now?
[11:46] <Jowi> Hoxzer: for manual mount: mount -t vfat /dev/fat32partition /mountpoint. to make it read/writable for everyone put it in fstab and add umask=000. that should do it.
[11:46] <Xorlev> Okay, problem. I have libfontconfig1 2.3.2-1 installed, but when I try to install libfontconfig1-dev it looks for a ubuntu version of it, which it seems its not. Is there a way to force it?
[11:46] <ksmurf> yes an 686 smp but there are things I don't want and that are causing errors
[11:47] <dooglus> windex: some of ubuntu's cron jobs use grep too - so your system probably still uses grep even if you don't.
[11:47] <X7C> how can i modify the location database for the weather report gnome panel applet?
[11:47] <windex> dooglus, thats fine, i don't expect to have grep processes running on 200gb of text in a cron job either :)
[11:47] <topyli> ksmurf: if you are, you should be able to find its config file in /boot. happy hacking! :)
[11:47] <waldomiro> hi! i just installed the latest ubuntu version, in a clean machine, but it never asked me for a root password? Is there a default password?
[11:48] <NightBird> YES!
[11:48] <ksmurf> I have it open
[11:48] <ksmurf> and thanks
[11:48] <NightBird> a winner is I!
[11:48] <dooglus> windex: it doesn't need to be a large file.  grepping a 2mb file can take hours.
[11:48] <ksmurf> is ACPI only for laptops?
[11:48] <dooglus> my 2GHz P4 takes 40 hours to grep a 2 meg file.
[11:49] <mikaoj> is it impossible to install fonts using the Live cd? :)
[11:49] <ttyS0> i should backup /lib/modules before installing new modules, am i right?
[11:49] <twibbler> dooglus: opening a 2mb file takes ages ..... dont think grep is really at fault ....
[11:49] <crimsun> mikaoj: it's perfectly feasible. You can put them in ~/.fonts/ for instance
[11:50] <crimsun> mikaoj: then rerun ''sudo fc-cache -v -f''
[11:50] <dooglus> twibbler: it is grep's fault, definitely.
[11:50] <jaku> hi, i don't have any more the kernel img in root, how can i re-install it? do i have to reinstall ubuntu as new?
[11:50] <crimsun> jaku: do you mean you lack /boot/vmlinuz* ?
[11:50] <dooglus> twibbler: and opening a 2mb file doesn't take very long at all!
[11:50] <twibbler> dooglus: why search a 2mb file ?........ why creat a 2mb file you need to search /...
[11:50] <JazyLNX> jaku what are you trying to do?
[11:50] <waldomiro> hi! i just installed the latest ubuntu version, in a clean machine, but it never asked me for a root password! Is there a default password?
[11:51] <dooglus> twibbler: what if I have a 2mb file that I need to search?
[11:51] <dooglus> !sudo
[11:51] <kkrizka_> ffmpeg/avcodec.h: No such file or directory
[11:51] <ubotu> sudo is probably http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo
[11:51] <zblach> waldomiro, root account is diabled by default
[11:51] <kkrizka_> do you know which pkg contains that file?
[11:51] <mikaoj> crimsun, there aren't any .fonts folder in /home/ubuntu/... isn't that where is it supposed to be?
[11:51] <dooglus> waldomiro: check that RootSudo URL
[11:51] <erUSUL> waldomiro, there is no root in ubuntuyou just use sudo
[11:51] <s00d> Hi. I'm having a little problem getting Rhythmbox to work playing mp3s. Is it because I have totem-xine installed of totem-gstreamer?
[11:51] <jaku> I install gtkpod from the debian repo... and I did0t see that it needs a new kernell.. now in /boot i have onli memtest86
[11:51] <waldomiro> ok, but  ]
[11:51] <zblach> CookedGryphon, you said you've used mathematica?
[11:51] <erUSUL> mikaoj, just create it yourself
[11:52] <mikaoj> oh ok, thanks :)
[11:52] <twibbler> dooglus: then I would say grep should take a few miutes ... I search about 100 files of about 1.5mg in total in 10 seconds ...
[11:52] <automat> wow...this is funny
[11:52] <topyli> sometimes, the debian menu is not in the gnome menu, sometimes it is. weird. this is in breezy
[11:52] <waldomiro> ok but when i try to update, it keeps asking for a password
[11:52] <zblach> waldomiro, just type in your norm. password
[11:52] <erUSUL> waldomiro,  type youre user password
[11:52] <waldomiro> oh ok, thanks
[11:52] <erUSUL> waldomiro,  type your user password
[11:52] <jaku> JazyLNX,
[11:52] <JazyLNX> yo
[11:52] <dooglus> twibbler: the bug doesn't always happen
[11:53] <zblach> CookedGryphon, did it evaluate stuff like (x+1)(x+2)
[11:53] <automat> 640x480 is hard to deal with
[11:53] <Hoxzer> jowi?
[11:53] <twibbler> dooglus: ok im now intrigued, isolate when it happens ....
[11:53] <funkyHat> anyone get skype working with an Audigy LS?
[11:53] <dooglus> twibbler: but, make a file like this:     yes | head -1000000 > /tmp/2mb
[11:53] <dooglus> then grep it like this:           LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 grep y /tmp/2mb | wc -l
[11:53] <dooglus> it should take many hours to run
[11:53] <dooglus> (if you have that locale generated)
[11:54] <dooglus> (otherwise it'll take less than a second)
[11:54] <waldomiro> now i got "cannot run /usr/bin/update-manager as root:
[11:54] <waldomiro>  invalid password."
[11:54] <s00d> "Error: There is no plugin installed to handle an mp3 file"
[11:54] <kkrizka_> howcan I find which pakacge contains what files?
[11:54] <Hoxzer> somebody help me to mount fat32
[11:54] <twibbler> dooglus ..... why use grep tht way ?....
[11:54] <jaku> if I start the grub show me anly this memtest
[11:54] <kkrizka_> s00d: you need gstreamer-mp3 or mpeg I think
[11:55] <s00d> kkrizka_: what if I'm using xine?
[11:55] <dooglus> twibbler: the 'g' in grep stands for "general".  It is a general search tool.  It should work any way you use it.
[11:55] <s00d> Is it possible to have xine and gstreamer both installed?
[11:55] <dooglus> I used it that way to isolate when the bug happens, like you asked
[11:55] <kkrizka_> s00d: it's possible, I though xine handles mp3s by defaul thong
[11:55] <s00d> Hrm. Then why's Rhythmbox being fussy?
[11:55] <twibbler> true but like anything if one way is slow use the faster method ...
[11:55] <waldomiro> second time worked well, thanks
[11:56] <kkrizka_> s00d: rhythmbox uses gstreamer
[11:56] <dooglus> twibbler: that's what I do, but it's not good that the default language when ubuntu installs itself is one that doesn't work with grep.
[11:56] <s00d> Really? That's weird I could havfe sworn I had xine installed on my last ubuntu system and was using rhythmbox. Oh, well, maybe I was mistaken. But thanks anyway.
[11:57] <kkrizka_> s00d: you can have both isntalled at the same time
[11:57] <s00d> Synaptic doesn't let me?
[11:58] <s00d> Oh, right.
[11:58] <s00d> I didn't have gstreamer-mad installed.
[11:58] <twibbler> dooglus: we can go round in circles .... but it falls to the fact a complicated search string even if it is a simple search will take longer ... so make the search simpler ... then it works out f the box ...
[11:59] <s00d> can xine do FLAC? totem-xine seems to hang when I try to play them.
[11:59] <zblach> i've got all sorts of keys on my keyboard that i can't use. how can i use em?
