[22:25] <juano__> TBotNik all mirror to E:/Local Files/ ?
[22:25] <eNons3nse_> also, is there a way to turn off rhythmboxes auto detection of mp3 players?  whenever it tries to load my player the program hangs and i have to force quit.
[22:25] <sethk> synacktion, /etc/rc.local is the usual place
[22:25] <Shadow147> tim_ make sure u have the universe repo accessable
[22:25] <syngin001> ok thanks
[22:25] <eNons3nse_> so whenever i have my mp3 player attatched i can't have rhythmbox open
[22:25] <juano__> eNons3nse_: yes, System ----> Preferences ----> Removable drive and media
[22:25] <TBotNik> juano__: but having to use the : on localhost cause the domain names don't work at all.
[22:25] <marina> aaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[22:27] <sethk> marina, under there, look for a file with the same name as the loaded module, with .ko at the end
[22:27] <abcent> naxa: good idea
[22:27] <eNons3nse_> juano__: i already have all that stuff turned off.  it doesn't open rhythmbox when i plug it in like it used to, but if rhythmbox is already open when i mount my player it still tries to index it and fails.  i just want rhythmbox to ignore my mp3 player.
[22:27] <otherman> comicinker: i found it!! is in /Recycled... but i can't delete...
[22:27] <syngin001> is there a place also to place a script when system is shutting down?
[22:28] <juano__> eNons3nse_: check in rhythmbox preferences
[22:28] <Unknown> Can any one help me with this error when i click install ubuntu to boot into the live cd - Failed to allocate memory resource?
[22:28] <sethk> syngin001, there is, but I don't recall the name off the top of my head.  Look in   man shutdown    I think it will tell you
[22:28] <comicinker> otherman: great! I didn't know files can end up there...
[22:28] <juano__> eNons3nse_: or just uninstall rhythmbox... its not that good anyway, try audacious or listen, those are good players
[22:28] <graymaster> hello, my system time does not work, and i what ever i do it will not change, any help??

[22:32] <ubotu> owain: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why)

[22:36] <manduski> hey guys i'm having difficulty understanding the interface of "prepare partitions" on the new ubuntu install cd. I have four partitions...sda1 ext2 size 106mb, sda2 ntfs 63gb, sda3, swap 4mb, sda4 ext3 55mb....I just want to keep the windows (ntfs) partitions and have another one for the main installation and the other one for swap. But i can't seem to be able to combine sda1 with sda4 and scale swap partition down from 4gb to just
[22:36] <manduski>  1gb without telling me the rest is unusable
[22:36] <juano__> HateX: using the gnome-art manager ?
[22:36]  * Pelo wonders if HateX  qualifies as a spammer
[22:37] <HateX> yes juano__
[22:37] <naxa> i came back. live cd won't work due to corrupt nvidia driver...
[22:37] <vlt> Hello. I have installed ubuntu 6.06 LTS with its default kernel 2.6.15-k7 on an AMD64/X2 machine. Now I try to boot with another mainboard but the same type of CPU. It bgins to boot, recognizes the CPU correctly but then panics with "IO-APIC + TIMER doesn't work". Using another boot hd with 7.10 installed works fine. Any idea how to get it working?
[22:37] <tomd123> i am looking for a program that would ssh into a computer, download a file from the internet and then copy it onto my computer
[22:37] <juano__> HateX: did you try installing it from there ? i believe there are 2 options, 1) only download  2) install
[22:37] <gordonjcp> eNons3nse_: no idea, it's possible I suppose
[22:37] <otherman> autocad 2007 works on windowsXP in virtualbox?
[22:37] <sethk> manduski, if you leave empty space between two partitions, then you get that "unusable" message.  Sometimes you get it because you use a part of a cylinder, and partitioning is done in full cylinders
[22:37] <rconan> magnetron: i'm trying to boot the xubuntu livecd but it hangs
[22:37] <sethk> manduski, usually it's an insignificant amount of space
[22:37] <Unknown> ryty im not in ubuntu it wont even go on live cd
[22:37] <Flare183> !livecd
[22:38] <ubotu> The Ubuntu Desktop CD is a "LiveCD" which can be run without altering existing files on your harddrive. Especially useful for testing your hardware's compatibility, it also includes an install option.
[22:38] <naxa> i recently remembered that two other errors also added, computer freezes. yes. on linux. it simply freezing sometimes. mouse stops. no hardware error, it worked before the update.
[22:38] <HateX> well for login managers, the install button is grayed-out so i downloaded instead
[22:38] <Unknown> i query'd you
[22:38] <magnetron> manduski: you would have to put something else on the newly unallocated space to make use of it. try scaling up another partition
[22:38] <vlt> tomd123: ssh, wget, scp
[22:38] <naxa> i have a livecd, it wont work. it boots and then blank screen is coming
[22:38] <Pelo> manduski,  first you would have to unmount the partitions you need to resize, second : you can'T merge as far as I know you would have to delete one partiton and extend the next to use up the size,  these partitions would have to be contiguous with the deleted partition "after" the one you want to expand
[22:38] <Flare183> !alternativecd
[22:38] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about alternativecd - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:38] <sethk> manduski, you specify it as a number of sectors, but the granularity is really cylinders, leading to the confusion.

[22:41] <HateX> juano__, no it didn't but i have sudoed for another reason within the last 15 minutes so art manager might have thought i was good to go
[22:41] <owain> If I run a programme as startup with Gnome does it run as root?
[22:42] <owain> (this is a service for my raid card)
[22:42] <PriceChild> owain, no
[22:42] <owain> my dreadful raid card
[22:42] <juano__> HateX: try gksudo gnome-art-manager or something like that
[22:42] <kelsin> owain: no, nothing  after you sign in with gdm is run as root
[22:42] <owain> ok
[22:42] <HateX> juano__, ok
[22:42] <owain> so persumably I have to add it to some super duper boot script then
[22:42] <kelsin> owain: /etc/rc.local is a good place
[22:43] <Pelo> later folks
[22:43] <juano__> HateX: also check if you have synaptic open or something that could eventually be using dpkg and close it

[22:47] <HateX> juano__, it prompted me for a password and everything
[22:47] <naxa> K4k: 2,6 ghz is the cpu of course :)
[22:47] <juano__> HateX: yea... same here
[22:47] <K4k> brobostigon: I need to know which because I have a good suggestion but it's only PCI I think

[22:48] <K4k> those will be perfect
[22:48] <flake> a different way to navigate I guess
[22:48] <HateX> juano__, GDM-Dreaming-Alien.tar.gz
[22:48] <brobostigon> flake try enlightenment and xfce.
[22:48] <flake> and organize the apps
[22:48] <K4k> flake try fluxbox or xfce
[22:49] <marina> people plz help me
[22:49] <brobostigon> they are very different to gnome and kde
[22:49] <K4k> xfce is more similar then others, but it's still different
[22:49] <K4k> marina: what's the issue
[22:49] <brobostigon> xfce is similer to cde
[22:49] <kelsin> flake: if you want to spend the time and fully custimize the way you work I would recommend FVWM as well, but you said before you wanted easy to use, so I wouldn't suggest it if editing the config file and setting it up counts as non-easy for you
[22:49] <naxa> K4k: will they be ok?  May be, it's wrong place for this quesion (it isn't ubuntu-specific). What is the good software/site for social networking?
[22:50] <urkud> I want to be able to sinchronize my address book with data from this site.
[22:50] <seanhodges> brobostigon, flake, +1 on enlightenment, prob what you're looking for

[22:50] <marina> problems with visual effects and sound on my laptop
[22:50] <naxa> K4k: i mean the card is wonderful it's just the linux driver s-cks
[22:50] <kelsin> naxa: geforce2 is nvidia, just much older
[22:50] <naxa> kelsin: yes  i know. but i thought it's ok...
[22:50] <kelsin> naxa: were you running the "nv" open source driver or the nvidia propirtary driver?
[22:50] <kelsin> naxa: *I can't spell
[22:50] <naxa> kelsin: so newer geforce are the best cohice?
[22:50] <K4k> Naxa: they are only a few years old, they should be just fine. Make sure you install the nvidia binary driver as well. I also recommend Nvidia over ATI for driver reasons, nvidia drivers are far better under linux
[22:51] <naxa> kelsin: nvidia, couse nv simply wont work, it's freezing completely, i have to restart by unplugging the machine
[22:51] <NKD-> Hi all. Earlier I was having problems with my NAT, but I fixed it. However, now I cant get anything to run on startup. I've tried putting stuff in /etc/rc.local and in a custom script I chmod +x'd in /etc/init.d
[22:51] <marina> so what should i do
[22:51] <seanhodges> urkud, depends on where all your friends are ;) maybe Facebook?
[22:51] <naxa> K4K: so a geforce > 4 is ok?
[22:51] <EugeneB> Can I ask help with toshiba laptop? I know it's a slippery place but I'm trying to get suspend to work
[22:51] <kelsin> well if you're already running the nvidia driver you're still going to be running that driver with any newer nvidia card. So if you think the driver sucks I would working on solving that problem, the card won't matter
[22:51] <bp|> Any hint on how to disable/fix hibernation on my laptop?

[22:52] <juano__> HateX: that is weird
[22:52] <K4k> naxa: I would recommend a geforce > then 5 actually if you plan on doing things like XGL
[22:52] <K4k> marina: please restate your issue
[22:52] <naxa> K4K ok i see
[22:52] <seanhodges> pb|, cant you just not select "Hibernate" when shuttong down?
[22:52] <naxa> K4k: so i should buy a 6xxx
[22:52] <seanhodges> *shutting
[22:52] <urkud> I want to sync all the data (phone numbers, e-mail, e.t.c.) between my computer and social network.
[22:52] <K4k> naxa: let me make sure they are in your price range, but I'm pretty sure that's what you want
[22:52] <HateX> juano__, yeah i downloaded another one and get added it successfully but the preview is the same default ubuntu
[22:53] <blix> anyone here in UK
[22:53] <urkud> I'm ready to write needed scripts if social network will not deny it.
[22:53] <seanhodges> urkud, one sec, theres something i found today that might help
[22:53] <naxa> K4k: i thought i have max. 50 or max max 60 usd for it, no more.
[22:53] <blix> I'm looking for a bit kit to host a Ubuntu/Unix server

[22:53] <blix> anyone recommend any retailiers
[22:53] <HateX> juano__, im going to try it and logout, brb
[22:53] <bp|> Well, yeah, the "this crashes me" "then don't do this" option always works <.<
[22:53] <K4k> naxa: Evga has an excellent life time warranty as well
[22:53] <kazol> What is the DVD decryption package called? libcssdvd?
[22:53] <naxa> K4K: thanks, i'm actually a hungarian so i will use a local store :)
[22:54] <marina> i cant have visual effects when i go there and check normal or extra i recieve this Desktop effects could not be enabled
[22:54] <seanhodges> urkud, http://www.conduit-project.org/wiki - havent tried it but it sounds good if it works
[22:54] <PriceChild> kazol, libdvdcss2
[22:54] <brobostigon> libdvdcss
[22:54] <juano__> HateX: ok good luck
[22:54] <K4k> naxa: look for anything between a 5500 and 6600 as they should be in your price range and have good openGL support
[22:55] <naxa> K4k: thank you. so i was right about nvidia, i just picked the wrong way buy trying to buy a very cheap, old card.
[22:55] <naxa> K4k: i will try what you say, thank you for your help
[22:55] <marina> i cant have visual effects when i go there and check normal or extra i recieve this Desktop effects could not be enabled
[22:55] <K4k> marina: make sure that your xorg.conf has composite set to "1" and not "0" also, make sure you have xserver-xgl installed
[22:55] <urkud> seanhodges: it seems that it is an application that can run on my computer and syn data with several external storages.
[22:56] <crdlb> K4k: other way around
[22:56] <crdlb> K4k: you don't need composite to use Xgl
[22:56] <juano__> HateX: worked ?
[22:56] <naxa> K4k: could you tell me a good tft monitor and dvd writer as well? i thought about pioneer dvdwriter... i dont know anything about tft
[22:56] <K4k> crdlb: when I installed xgl, I then got the composit not enabled error, I thought you had to have it set to 1
[22:56] <HateX> juano__, yeah, thatone worked
[22:56] <crdlb> K4k: no, you just need to log out so that Xgl is actually used
[22:56] <naxa> k4k: actually it's easier if you tell me what not to by in monitors
[22:56] <HateX> juano__, the dreaming alien file must be damaged or something on the web host side
[22:56] <kelsin> naxa: I've had great luck with an LG external dvd writer, works on every system I've ever plugged it into
[22:57] <lockd> hmm does paint.net run in Linux?
[22:57] <juano__> HateX: yea i think that is the problem
[22:57] <crdlb> K4k: you only need composite enabled in Xorg to use AIGLX or nvidia's thing
[22:57] <ubuntuu> How do i save file after editing it with vim ?
[22:57] <HateX> juano__, thank you for your help
[22:57] <urkud> :w
[22:57] <juano__> HateX: anytime
[22:57] <urkud> ubuntuu: :w<Enter>
[22:57] <naxa> kelsin: it sound great... i thought buying an external usb rack and an ordinary dvd writer, it's not ok?
[22:57] <kelsin> ubuntuu: hit esc to make sure your in command mode, then :w or :wq to quit after
[22:57] <K4k> crdlb, then howcome with my ati card, using xgl and compiz it said that I needed to enable composite in xorg?
[22:57] <urkud> Yes, I've forgotten about Esc
[22:57] <seanhodges> urkud, yes. i've only used Facebook before. I really think it depends what your needs are
[22:57] <ubuntuu> ok ill try
[22:57] <crdlb> K4k: because you weren't using Xgl yet
[22:58] <EugeneB> Can I ask help with toshiba laptop? I know it's a slippery place but I'm trying to get suspend to work
[22:58] <flush> hrmm
[22:58] <kelsin> naxa: up to you and your budget and you're uses, I wanted an external one to bring to school and to use on multiple boxes
[22:58] <flush> on ubuntu 7.10
[22:58] <K4k> naxa: I'm not sure what a tft monitor is exactly, but as for your dvd drive, I usually just get whatever is least expensive, they are all pretty equal
[22:58] <_6StringKng_> any way to remove the HDD icon on my desktop?  I still want it in Place > hdb1 but not on the desktop
[22:58] <flush> i type "su" and it returns setgid: Operation not permitted
[22:58] <greenman> Hi.  I have a quick question.  Does the server install cd have the text installer?
[22:58] <flush> whats the problem ?
[22:58] <K4k> crdlb: but I restarted xserver
[22:58] <crdlb> K4k: you're mistaken
[22:58] <lockd> i only recall seeing tft on CRTs
[22:58] <naxa> K4k: tft is the new type monitor, which is plate
[22:58] <dfwlinuxguy> greenman..yes
[22:58] <kelsin> _6StringKng_: you can turn that off in the gnome system registry, I think the key is under apps/nautilus/desktop
[22:58] <crdlb> K4k: either you're not actually using Xgl, or you have the order wrong
[22:58] <lockd> oh, must have been another acronym
[22:58] <urkud> seanhodges: it seems that facebook deny connecting with automatic script (for sync facebook data with my own addressbook, for example)
[22:59] <K4k> crdlb, could be, I was just saying what I had to do to get mine to work, if there is another way, then I am not aware of it
[22:59] <K4k> naxa: are you referring to LCD monitors?
[22:59] <greenman> dfwlinuxguy: okay, I'll download that in case I need it.  Is there a torrent, sometimes that's faster
[22:59] <marina> how can i check all those issues
[22:59] <mEck0> Hi! I'm using Gnome in Ubuntu 7.10 and wonder if there is possile to change the default file manager from Nautilus to another, e.g. Thunar? Nautilus is so non-responsive
[22:59] <seanhodges> bp|, this might help: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-440225.html
[22:59] <crdlb> K4k: on the fglrx shipped in gutsy, your advice would actually make things *worse* :)
[22:59] <_6StringKng_> my laptop screen is TFT
[22:59] <K4k> crdlb: then maybe that is why it's been crashing a little bit
[22:59] <crdlb> composite + GLX wasn't supported until 8.40ish
[23:00] <dfwlinuxguy> greenman..yes torrent ..http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.10/
[23:00] <urkud> seanhodges: flickr allow XML-RPC connects but I can't fill my e-mail, phone number e.t.c.
[23:00] <K4k> marina: open up synaptic package manager and look for "xgl"
[23:00] <naxa> K4K: yes, actually... sorry i always confused about the difference between tft and lcd
[23:00] <K4k> and install the xgl xserver
[23:00] <K4k> naxa: do you know what size you want?
[23:00] <marina> ok
[23:01] <K4k> marina: also, ignore my comment about the composite in xorg.conf because apparently it's not correct, just try rebooting first to see if it works, if it does, then your good, otherwise come back
[23:01] <_6StringKng_> kelsin: how do I access the gnome system registry btw?
[23:01] <seanhodges> urkud, this is the big problem when integrating web2.0, so many different protocols and standards
[23:01] <naxa> k4K: 17"-21" but i have very limited money so 17" i guess
[23:01] <EugeneB> Can I ask help with toshiba laptop? I know it's a slippery place but I'm trying to get suspend to work
[23:01] <kelsin> _6StringKng_: in a term you can type "gconf-editor" I don't know where in the menus it is in ubuntu atm :-(
[23:01] <naxa> K4k: i'm just curious if there is a bad choice or not
[23:01] <TimeTraveller> does anyone know if GTK is included in ubuntu ... synaptic says it is but my theme engine says it is not when i am trying to compile it ..
[23:02] <K4k> naxa: I know that they have 20" widescreen LCD's for around $200USD
[23:02] <greenman> Okay, what would be better, Alternate install or server install.  My friend wants to try linux, but I couldn't get the desktop install to work.
[23:02] <_6StringKng_> kelsin: thanks :)
[23:02] <lockd> TimeTraveller: gtk is, not the dev packages
[23:02] <K4k> that's because I'm actually in the market for one of those myself
[23:02] <greenman> The video wouldn't display.
[23:02] <crdlb> TimeTraveller: almost all of the default ubuntu apps are written in GTK :)
[23:02] <urkud> seanhodges: I'll continue googling...
[23:02] <kelsin> TimeTraveller: you might not have the Gtk-dev libraries, did you search for this theme engine in synaptic to make sure it's not packaged already?
[23:02] <naxa> K4k: ok thank you... actually for a time i wont buy only new year, i go now thank you for the help
[23:02] <naxa> bye-bye
[23:02] <_6StringKng_> yay its gone
[23:03]  * brobostigon is watching back to the future
[23:03] <K4k> naxa: my pleasure, I actually have to head out as well
[23:03] <TimeTraveller> thanks ...i will try that =)
[23:03] <_6StringKng_> now I take it any volumes I mount wont be there as well, such as optical drives and usb drives?
[23:03] <EugeneB> Can I ask help with suspend on laptop?
[23:03] <kelsin> _6StringKng_: ahhh ubuntu turns off the "System Tools" menu, makes sense :)
[23:03] <n00b> boa noite
[23:03] <_6StringKng_> just confirming
[23:04] <_6StringKng_> hehe
[23:04] <crdlb> !away > k4k-away
[23:04] <urkud> EugeneB: I hope that you can ask anything...
[23:04] <Sintexxx> hey
[23:04] <kelsin> _6StringKng_: I think that's the "volumes" visisble options
[23:04] <greenman> Okay, what would be better, Alternate install or server install.  My friend wants to try linux, but I couldn't get the desktop install to work.
[23:04] <kelsin> _6StringKng_: also in nautilus / desktop
[23:04] <greenman> The video wouldn't display.
[23:04] <dfwlinuxguy> !ask | EugeneB
[23:04] <ubotu> EugeneB: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[23:04] <kelsin> greenman: alternate
[23:04] <ubuntuu> i didnt get it i cant save the file with vim
[23:04] <fredrik> Hi How do I get sound to my ipod video files?
[23:04] <marpstar> is anyone here experienced with setting up dual-monitors in ubuntu with nvidia cards?
[23:04] <greenman> kelsin: okay.  Thanks
[23:04] <kelsin> greenman: it has the text mode installer that will setup the desktop system, and you can debug from there
[23:05] <kelsin> greenman: just as easy as the live cd installer, just in text mode instead of graphical
[23:05] <greenman> cool, thanks
[23:05] <seanhodges> ubuntuu, is it read-only? (read the status at the bottom)
[23:05] <n00b> hi
[23:05] <ubuntuu> no its xorg.conf file
[23:05] <n00b> i m facing a problem of instalation of amsn, can u help me ?
[23:05] <greenman> kelsin: yeah, I had to do that on a friends pc that didn't have enough memory
[23:05] <aguitel> how i know the amount of memory ram?
[23:05] <EugeneB> Ok - after waking up WIFI is dead. kerm.log says: Dec  1 13:55:41 ubuntu-laptop kernel: [  343.260000] PCMCIA: socket dfb3b040: *** DANGER *** unable to remove socket power
[23:05] <ubuntuu> im as root with sudo vim

[23:05] <kelsin> ubuntuu: hit esc like three times, then hit ":" then hit "w" then enter
[23:06] <EugeneB> reloading all modules don't work
[23:06] <kelsin> (the ":" needs a shift, etc to actually type ":" and not ";")
[23:06] <gabriel__> aguitel: free
[23:06] <seanhodges> if you can write then <esc>:w<enter> should save it, check the status at the bottom. Then use :q<enter> to close
[23:06] <marina> k4k still not working
[23:06] <dfwlinuxguy> EugeneB.../etc/init.d/udev restart ???
[23:06] <kelsin> aguitel: the command "top" will also give you memory information and info on processes
[23:07] <aguitel> gabriel__: kelsin ,thanks
[23:07] <EugeneB> hmm... interesting idea - have to try
[23:07] <sladen> aguitel: why do I need to use /away ... I already have a script do that based on screen disconnect...
[23:07] <seanhodges> ubuntuu, :q<enter> will stop you quitting if it's not saved, otherwise you can be sure it did the job
[23:07] <adrenergic> hello peeps
[23:07] <adrenergic> i need help

[23:10] <dfwlinuxguy> !restrictedformats
[23:10] <Jetrii> Has anyone here successfully installed Ubuntu on the Playstation 3? I am trying to but I am not getting any video output from the PS3 after rebooting under "Other OS."
[23:10] <kelsin> Mp5: does the restricted driver manager not install it for you? or does that not work?
[23:10] <jacob> i'm having problems booting up exaile, can anybody help?
[23:10] <dfwlinuxguy> mkultrax rm ~/.exaile
[23:11] <kelsin> Mp5: if you have an nvidia card it should apear in the systray and ask you if you want to install the nvidia card, you can also get to it in the admin menu
[23:11] <crimsun> jacob: invoke it from a Terminal, and pastebin the errors you get.
[23:11] <dfwlinuxguy> mkultrax rm -rf ~/.exaile
[23:11] <seanhodges> that ubotu is sure full of himself. the know-it-all
[23:11] <jacob> crimsun: ok
[23:11] <EugeneB> Anyone knows why PC can wakes from suspend by itself?

[23:12] <adrenergic> i need help :(... in GUI... Networking Panel i see no modem device detected or working or something... and i have it... why doesn't it get connected
[23:12] <jacob> crimsun: http://pastebin.com/m3b8c0e73
[23:12] <southafrikanse> http://imagens.webtuga.com/viewer.php?id=994091Screenshot.png why does this happen?
[23:12] <mohd> At the moment whenever I turn on the desktop effects, my window borders turn all red
[23:12] <mEck0> is it possible to disable the "fade effect" when you minimize and maximize windows in gnome?
[23:12] <_6StringKng_> yeah
[23:12] <seanhodges> mohd, this isn't normal, is this a clean install?

[23:13] <mohd> Yep
[23:13] <wabiD> has anyone tried compiling xbmc and using it for ubuntu?
[23:13] <clueless86> hey, i'm tryin to compile cdemu-daemon, it says it can't find the package dbus-1
[23:13] <crimsun> jacob: pastebin `apt-cache policy python-gobject exaile`
[23:13] <crimsun> jacob: you're certainly not using native Ubuntu packages...
[23:13] <magnetron> !anyone | wabiD
[23:13] <ubotu> wabiD: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[23:13] <seanhodges> mohd, whats your graphics card manufacturer/model?
[23:13] <adrenergic> HELLO ppl..... i need to connect through a dialup modem.... and i don't no it's address i mean is it /dev/modem or /dev/tty0 or dev/tty1
[23:14] <adrenergic> how do i find it
[23:14] <jacob> crimsun: i'll just delete the remaining folders and make  a fresh new install
[23:14] <adrenergic> and how'll i connect it
[23:14] <mohd> Seanhodges, I have an nvidia GF 6100, and I have the restricted drivers running
[23:14] <Sturm> audacity keeps closing now that I am using 7.10
[23:14] <jacob> crimsun: let me just do what you told
[23:14] <dfwlinuxguy> adrenergic output of dmesg
[23:14] <jacob> me
[23:14] <wabiD> how can i remove anyone from that sentence
[23:14] <sethk> adrenergic, /dev/modem is a symbolic link
[23:14] <Sturm> can anyone help?
[23:14] <kelsin> Sturm: have you run it from a terminal to see if it outputs any error messages when it crashes?
[23:14] <wabiD> complied xbmc for ubuntu...
[23:14] <adrenergic> but sethk it doesn't work
[23:15] <wabiD> i think that makes a lot less sense
[23:15] <gmonnerat> Mp5: you are trying to use dual screen?
[23:15] <sethk> adrenergic, in general, /dev/TTY# is a modem and  /dev/tty# is a serial port, although both refer to the same physical device
[23:15] <Sturm> yes
[23:15] <EugeneB> PC wakes-up by itself after going to sleep in 1-2 seconds. Any ideas?
[23:15] <sethk> adrenergic, ok, do this and show us the result:     ls -l /dev/modem
[23:15] <sethk> adrenergic, that will tell you which device it is linked to
[23:15] <dfwlinuxguy> yeah, suspend sucks in Linux
[23:15] <mohd> should I uninstall/re-install compiz?
[23:15] <jacob> crimsun: i installed alien trying to install a newer version of gnome, could that be the cause of the problem
[23:15] <lontra> dfwlinuxguy: works fine here and it has for a while
[23:15] <EugeneB> so - no hope?
[23:15] <crimsun> jacob: ...yes.
[23:15] <kelsin> Sturm: well does it? If so you should pastebin the errors to show people
[23:16] <kelsin> !pastebin > Sturm
[23:16] <abcde_> I am unable to get Tracker to search my drive.  It works for a few searches, then breaks, showing no results.  I run "trackerd -v 2 -R", and after it indexes, I can search a bit, then nothing.  I'm searching with tracker-search-tool.  Any ideas?
[23:16] <brobostigon> suspend on my ibook g3 wont even work in mac os x, never mind linux
[23:16] <jacob> crimsun: then wouldn't it affect other programs?
[23:16] <dfwlinuxguy> lontra...it really depends on how good a driver was written...most hardware manufacturers don't like releasing their specs
[23:16] <jacob> crimsun: i want to undo what i did and remove alien
[23:16] <Sturm> it says segmentation fault (core dumped)
[23:17] <Sturm> where should I post that again?
[23:17] <sethk> EugeneB, if you are using APM, try ACPI, or v.v.
[23:17] <lontra> dfwlinuxguy: well its improved vastly over the years and it works for a lot of folks
[23:17] <EugeneB> I'm using ACPI
[23:17] <adrenergic> how will i connect with my dialup modem in GUI.... if it's username is 'abc' it's pass being 'xyz' it's phone # being '123' ... can anyone tell me the command
[23:17] <crimsun> jacob: by using alien for gnome, you possibly utterly skewed python-gobject, which is a dependency of exaile.  Not very smooth.
[23:17] <clueless86> how can i install dbus-1? apt-get install won't do it
[23:17] <EugeneB> with APM - nothing works - no sound, no PCMCIA
[23:17] <sethk> adrenergic, also, as someone suggested (sorry I don't remember who), the output of dmesg has important information.
[23:17] <jacob> crimsun: http://pastebin.com/m1cc22a66
[23:18] <dfwlinuxguy> lontra...well that doesn't really help the people that still are having issues
[23:18] <crimsun> clueless86: libdbus-1-3 or libdbus-1-1?
[23:18] <sethk> adrenergic, paste the output of ls -l /dev/modem and the output of dmesg to the pastebin
[23:18] <Mp5> gmonnerat have a dual screen,but i want in màin screen will take resoliution 1024x768 and when put in the "Screen and Graphics" and .. can't ;\
[23:18] <sethk> EugeneB, that's bizarre.
[23:18] <lontra> dfwlinuxguy: well neither did your comment ;)
[23:18] <sethk> EugeneB, it should be a clue, but I don't know how to interpret it.
[23:18] <dfwlinuxguy> lontra..just telling the truth
[23:18] <vlt> Hello. I just booted my ubuntu 6.06 with a new mainbord (using noapic option). Now my NIC is not recognized (no appearence of "eth" in dmesg). Any idea?
[23:18] <whta> when I had beryl, if i moved my cursor to the top right corner, it laid out all the open windows on the screen for me to pick from. how can i get that in CF?
[23:18] <kelsin> Sturm: http://www.audacityteam.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1400 you can try that suggestion
[23:18] <zetheroo> when I save something to my Desktop I can never see it
[23:19] <EugeneB> I also see BAT1 00000080 ... messages in ACPI log every 10-15 seconds (battery charging)
[23:19] <diemos> hi
[23:19] <kelsin> Sturm: but if it really is a segfault you probably want to check with the audacity people, going to be tough to debug that from this channel
[23:19] <crimsun> jacob: my recommendation is to reinstall Ubuntu if you've really used alien to install gnome.
[23:19] <dfwlinuxguy> lontra..not really slamming anyone except the people who manufacture the hardware and won't release drivers
[23:19] <crimsun> jacob: and please don't use external repositories for (newer) packages like exaile.
[23:19] <clueless86> crimsun: i think i need libdbus-1-1
[23:19] <zetheroo> anyone have an idea why this is?
[23:19] <Sturm> would using a different version help?
[23:19] <crimsun> jacob: we have a procedure for requesting that newer versions from the current development version be backported to the currently supported stable releases.
[23:20] <urkud> zetheroo: Is it present in ~/Desktop?
[23:20] <Lapper> I'm using a MacBook with a Core 2 Duo processor. I downloaded the "64bit AMD and Intel" iso. Should I have downloaded a different one?
[23:20] <crimsun> clueless86: think or /know/ ?
[23:20] <zetheroo> urkud: no ... not even there
[23:20] <diemos> So, I'm trying to install ubuntu, I boot the livecd, see the bootsplash, but then my graphics are not displayed properly once X tries to start up
[23:20] <kelsin> Sturm: different version of audacity then what is packaged for ubuntu? Probably not, did you try clearing out the config folder (or backing it up) like that forum post said?
[23:20] <Omnius> zetheroo: it happened to me, it was saving it in another desktop
[23:20] <kelsin> diemos: I would download the alternate cd and do the test mode install
[23:20] <Sturm> just read that now.will try it
[23:21] <zetheroo> Omnius: how does that happen?
[23:21] <kelsin> diemos: then if you stil lhave issues at least you have a installed system to debug / figure out
[23:21] <sethk> adrenergic, I'm not ignoring you.  It's been so many years since I used a modem, and I don't remember the commands.
[23:21] <diemos> kelsin: which cd?
[23:21] <sethk> dfwlinuxguy, as you said, they won't even release specs so other people can create a driver
[23:21] <k4k> sorry crdlb
[23:22] <kelsin> diemos: the alternate cd, on the ubuntu download page it's a check box at the bottom to download the alternate desktop cd
[23:22] <zetheroo> Omnius: do you know how to fix it?
[23:22] <sethk> dfwlinuxguy, there's often a reason for that.  M$ makes exclusivity agreements with manufacturers.  That's not always the reason, but it often is.
[23:22] <dfwlinuxguy> doesn't gnome-network-manager allow you to connect with a modem?
[23:22] <diemos> I'll check it out.
[23:22] <Extravert> hey does anyone know the command to dump a process?
[23:22] <diemos> thx
[23:22] <adrenergic> actually sethk.... i'm on windows now... and when i switch to ubuntu i won't be able to talk to you like this cuz i won't be connected
[23:22] <k4k> dfwlinuxguy, I believe it does as long as your user has the ability to use a modem
[23:22] <gmonnerat> Mp5: if you configure dual screen in screen and cards , the default configuration doesn't function
[23:22] <adrenergic> so i tried alot of times
[23:22] <kelsin> diemos: but that will let you install without graphical errors and then it might just work, or you can debug from there
[23:22] <Omnius> zetheroo: its saving it to /root/Desktop
[23:23] <clueless86> crimsun: i'm running gutsy gibbon, so libdbus-1-3 is already installed, but pkg-config complains that dbus-1 is missing
[23:23] <adrenergic> but nothing came worth of it... so that's why :) it's ok sethk
[23:23] <zetheroo> Omnius: how do I fix this?
[23:23] <dfwlinuxguy> lontra..I agree...and if you are fortunate enough to have purchased a laptop that works, then you must be thrilled and pissed off if you didn't
[23:23] <diemos> well, i get two errors gergarding uvcd or something of the sort
[23:23] <diemos> during boot
[23:23] <Mp5> gmonnerat,then how to fix this? ;\
[23:23] <kelsin> clueless86: is the libdbus-1-dev package installed?
[23:23] <diemos> trying to install on my laptop ><
[23:23] <sethk> adrenergic, you can capture the info to a file, write it onto a memory stick or something else external, then boot windows and show it to us.
[23:23] <kelsin> clueless86: also make sure what you're trying to isntall isn't packaged already
[23:23] <diemos> Vaios are useless :(
[23:23] <adrenergic> okey sethk one second question
[23:24] <gmonnerat> Mp5: you are using nvidia?
[23:24] <sethk> adrenergic, ok.
[23:24] <dfwlinuxguy> k4k..using gnome-network-manager to create a ppp connection has to be tons easier than trying to explain how to set it up using textfiles
[23:24] <zetheroo> Omnius: there is no folder /root/Desktop   ???
[23:24] <Omnius> zetheroo: i assume you are saving files from your browser, when saving  just navigate to /home/yourusername/Desktop and save there
[23:24] <clueless86> kelsin: thanks, that was it!
[23:24] <k4k> dfwlinuxguy, I agree, but I don't know how to do it with gnome-network-manager because I have never used a ppp connection
[23:24] <Viper550> dj? think you could play that "Snow (Hey Oh)" song?
[23:25] <k4k> I'm only assuming that the option would be there in gnome-network-manager if you are a user who can use them
[23:25] <Mp5> gmonnerat, nvidia geforce 4
[23:25] <adrenergic> sethk.... i burnt the DVD iso to DVD... and installed ubuntu from it.... but how'll i install all the rest of packages from it cuz when i try to install something it... it tries to get access to internet
[23:25] <sethk> dfwlinuxguy, absolutely.  setting up a ppp connection manually is a true PITA
[23:25] <zetheroo> Omnius: nothing doing
[23:25] <Omnius> yeah there is
[23:25] <iNSTINCT> i need help with ubuntu anyone got a sec
[23:25] <zetheroo> Omnius: its still not there
[23:25] <sethk> adrenergic, in principle you can download the package files in windows, and create your own repository.  You'll be doing a _lot_ of downloading, however.
[23:25] <gmonnerat> Mp5: good, installs nvidia-settings
[23:25] <dfwlinuxguy> sethk...yes I remember the days of pon and poff and ifconfig ppp0 up and editing the config files by hand
[23:26] <piksi> i accidentally removed the update notifications icon from the task bar and i cannot seem to find where to get it back even though the update-notifications daemon is starting on login - any obvious solution ?
[23:26] <k4k> dfwlinuxguy, actually, I just went over to my server and looked, it does allow you to setup a modem connection
[23:26] <Omnius> zetheroo: goto your file system
[23:26] <dfwlinuxguy> that's what I thought
[23:26] <kelsin> adrenergic: System -> Admin -> Software sources and make sure only the cd is checked then refresh and you should be goof
[23:26] <iNSTINCT> who knows alot about ubuntu display?
[23:26] <k4k> iNSTINCT, what do you need to know?
[23:26] <kelsin> iNSTINCT: better just to ask the question you have and see if people answer
[23:27] <iNSTINCT> im having problems when i use amsn and when i log in
[23:27] <adrenergic> tks friends... you're all very good people
[23:27] <adrenergic> :)
[23:27] <iNSTINCT> text is unbelieveably small
[23:27] <abcde_> !ask iNSTINCT
[23:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask instinct - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:27] <adrenergic> bye all LINUX rules
[23:27] <abcde_> is that the syntax?
[23:27] <mike3> iNSTINCT: So change the font size. :)
[23:27] <zetheroo> Omnius: ok... I tried another website and it worked..... but it seems that it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't
[23:27] <sethk> adrenergic, actually, I'm a rat, but I hide it well
[23:27] <iNSTINCT> !ask
[23:27] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[23:27] <gmonnerat> Mp5: next in the terminal, types nvidia-settings , go in "X server Display Configuration"
[23:27] <Sturm> where is libmp3lame.so on my computer?
[23:27] <adrenergic> lol sethk
[23:27] <mike3> Sturm: Probably in your libraries
[23:28] <dfwlinuxguy> sethk...i've seen you here b4 right?
[23:28] <urkud> Sturm: use locate.
[23:28] <iNSTINCT> i did it doesent effect it, already tried
[23:28] <mike3> Sturm: do a find / -name filename
[23:28] <Sturm> ?
[23:28] <kelsin> Sturm: "locate libmp3lame" might help
[23:28] <Sturm> in the terminal right?
[23:28] <wallsp> hello
[23:28] <Omnius> zetheroo: i always save my files to one location and then move them if needed
[23:28] <kelsin> Sturm: yes
[23:28] <abcde_> Sturm, type "locate libmp3lame" in the terminal
[23:28] <wallsp> I would like to use ubuntu,
[23:28] <mike3> iNSTINCT: possibly gdm is causing font issues.
[23:28] <urkud> Sturm: `locate filename` (yes)
[23:28] <wallsp> but I'am straignt. is ubuntu ok for me then?
[23:28] <iNSTINCT> gdm?
[23:28] <k4k> when I try to run sudo dpkg-reconfigure mythtv-database, it says that my password/username are incorrect for the database, how can I find out what it is so that I can finish setting up mythtv?
[23:28] <zetheroo> Omnius: yeah me too... this is the first time this has ever happened
[23:28] <Mp5> gmonnerat and next steps?; \
[23:29] <Sturm> thanks urkud:D
[23:29] <kelsin> k4k: what database are you using?
[23:29] <wallsp> straight even
[23:29] <Omnius> how do I give a bridge interface a gateway address?
[23:29] <mike3> iNSTINCT: Gnome's login manager. I know that KDM's login manager can effect font issues with X. I don't know if this problem relates at all to your problem though.
[23:29] <k4k> kelsin, mysql
[23:29] <mike3> Omnius: google my friend.
[23:29] <Omnius> i have mike3
[23:29] <iNSTINCT> how do i access ADM?
[23:29] <kelsin> k4k: if you're running it on the same computer try to login with mysql by typing "mysql -h localhost -u <user> -p" it will prompt you for a password and you can test
[23:29] <Contrarian> I have a machine that I can connect w/ Samba but when I ping the name resolution fails? Any suggestions on how to resolve IP?
[23:29] <Omnius> and read howtos for 2 hours
[23:29] <gmonnerat> Mp5: connects the other monitor, presses in Detect Display
[23:29] <kelsin> k4k: if you havn't setup the username and password you'll have to look at the mysql docs on how to do that , I don't know offhand
[23:29] <Omnius> my eyes are bleeding
[23:30] <kelsin> k4k: I'm 95% sure that by default the mysql root user has no password, but I'm not sure about that, have to find out
[23:30] <Omnius> got it to work alright but cant assign a gateway address and there is nothing in the hotows
[23:31] <sethk> Omnius, route add default gw ###.###.###.###
[23:31] <sethk> Omnius, ###.... being the ip address, of course
[23:31] <vlt> Hello. Seems as if my 6.06's kernel 2.6.15 doesn't support my NIC. Even when I `modprobe forcedeth` it just prints out a status line "... nForce nic driver ... v 0.54". Still no device available ... Any idea what to do?
[23:31] <k4k> I have tried, root with no pass, root with multiple different passwords I have put on this machine, my account with all possible passwords I use, and my mythtv user account with all passwords I have used
[23:31] <iNSTINCT> «mike3» KDM what is it?
[23:31] <Omnius> sethk: cheers, i'll give it a try
[23:32] <brobostigon> k desktop manager + kdm
[23:32] <kelsin> k4k: and you just installed the mysql package?
[23:32] <brobostigon> =
[23:32] <gmonnerat> Mp5: now configure the monitors and restart the X
[23:32] <netdefilr> I recently have been hving problems shutting down ubuntu. It seems everything shuts down but it goes tro a black screen with a cursor blinking but doesnt turn off the laptop. Any ideas?
[23:32] <k4k> kelsin: I installed mythbuntu and mythtv + all dependancies
[23:32] <k4k> which includes mysql and others I believe
[23:32] <kelsin> k4k: what message does the mysql program spit out when you try with root and just hit enter at the password prompt?
[23:33] <sethk> I like to hit the laptop with a hammer.  If it can't come up, then you don't care if it won't shut down.  :)
[23:33] <netdefilr> starts up fine
[23:33] <kelsin> k4k: try "mythtv" and "password" as the password (on the command line)
[23:33] <sethk> netdefilr, I know, I was attempting to be funny
[23:33] <sethk> netdefilr, have you checked the log files?
[23:33] <Tim__> hi, I just did a fresh ubuntu install because of some issues I had and now my wireless network isn't working, it asks for a wep passphrase but is use wpa, the live cd works fine, but not when I install ubuntu
[23:33] <iNSTINCT> thx
[23:33] <k4k> kelsin: access denied for root@localhost
[23:34] <Mp5> gmonnerat hm okay,but is this driver - nvidia-glx , what i will be must have ?;\
[23:34] <kelsin> k4k: it doesn't say "With password blank" or anything?
[23:34] <k4k> I also checked the /etc/mythtv/mysql.txt which has the mythtv database info in it, but it's not working there either
[23:34] <Squee> How do I go about checking if my computer recognizes that I have a scanner connected, in ubuntu Fiesty?
[23:34] <Sturm> audacity still closes
[23:34] <whta> when I had beryl, if i moved my cursor to the top right corner, it laid out all the open windows on the screen for me to pick from. how can i get that in CF?
[23:34] <k4k> kelsin:(Using Password: NO)
[23:34] <Codenut> When I installed SSH, I ended up with SSH 2. Putty does not support this. What client is the one most liked by the group?
[23:34] <Tim__> any tips?
[23:35] <Dr_willis> whta,  thats one of the plugins.. install the ccsm tool and check out all the plugins. I forget what one did that.
[23:35] <kelsin> k4k: k4k damn :-( Probably need to google around for the default mythuntu mysql password, cause clearly it's not setting up mysql like the ubuntu default :-(
[23:35] <pianist> good evening
[23:35] <jusu> good evening....
[23:35] <gmonnerat> Mp5: your nvidia are installed and in use?
[23:35] <operator011> Codenut: SSH2 is SSH1's replacement.There were some weaknesses in SHA1 that led the move SSH2
[23:35] <jusu> infidel!!
[23:35] <whta> Dr_willis: i just went through every plugin and somehow i have missed it.
[23:35] <kelsin> putty supports ssh2
[23:35] <abcde_> I am unable to get Tracker to search my drive.  It works for a few searches, then breaks, showing no results.  I run "trackerd -v 2 -R", and after it indexes, I can search a bit, then nothing.  I'm searching with tracker-search-tool.  Any ideas?
[23:35] <jerbear> anyone in here familiar with python's easy_install and use album art files in their music collection?
[23:35] <kelsin> Codenut: putty works with ssh2 fine
[23:35] <operator011> Version 0.6.0 of Putty supports SSH2 by default.
[23:35] <Zaqio> Anyone know how to get Crative Live Vista IM web cam to work?
[23:35] <pianist> im having problem with video files and sounds, i use toshiba satelite and ati video card
[23:35] <Dr_willis> whta,  it may of been under expo, or somthing like that. It never worked well for me with 2 monitors. so i dont mess with it much
[23:36] <operator011> If you're going to use keys, the RSA key length must be > 256, otherwise use DSA
[23:36] <Codenut> I will check, thanks guys. You are always a lot of help.
[23:36] <kelsin> Codenut: at least the current version on their download page does :)
[23:36] <operator011> Codenut: Check the SSH protocol page on Wikipedia for more info.
[23:36] <pianist> how can i fix my problem
[23:37] <whta> Dr_willis: expo only does workspaces.. i guess i'll just have to keep searching
[23:37] <Tim__> does anybody know where networkmanager stores preferences?
[23:37] <kelsin> pianist: so far you've said you're having a problem with video and sound, can you be more specific about what you want to do and what's happening/ or whate errors your getting?
[23:37] <Kienur> i got a problem with suspend: after a restart, i get a black screen only, but with a mouse on it. after ctrl/alt/back and relog i get no wallpaper nor icons on the desktop, but the panels are there
[23:37] <Mp5> gmonnerat i test to install and in use,what i know.but the problem is the resoliution,why its hasn't been should ;\
[23:38] <brandon_> i'm trying to get the fglrx driver to work, but it doesn't for some reason
[23:38] <gmonnerat> Mp5: go in system > Administration > drivers restricted and check if the driver is in use
[23:38] <brandon_> i keep getting the bulletproof x startup screen, although fglrx is loaded
[23:38] <Omnius> sethk: your a bloody genius, thyanks heaps
[23:38] <Tim__> anybody?
[23:38] <Codenut> I just logged into my 7.04 machine just fine. tnx
[23:38] <abcde_> brandon_, What is your video card?  fglrx is only needed for x1***
[23:38] <operator011> Codenut - using SSH2?
[23:38] <abcde_> brandon_, and greater
[23:38] <btard> I am trying to install the newest drivers for my graphics card. I've been using the ones from the ATI site, but I do not believe they are the correct ones (non-ubuntu). where would I find the correct ones?
[23:38] <Omnius> i've been trying for months to do that
[23:38] <brandon_> abcde_: 2600xt
[23:38] <Codenut> Used Putty, don't know why I even had an issue ;-)
[23:39] <gmonnerat> Mp5: yes understand
[23:39] <Codenut> +
[23:39] <pianist> ok when i play a video file the picture is in frames like robot when its full screen but when its small its ok
[23:39] <Codenut> Does anyone here use synergy to use two monitors with Ubuntu?
[23:39] <Tim__> hello?
[23:39] <operator011> Codenut: Were you trying to use a keylength smaller than 256-bit?  There's a known problem with RSA keys less than 256 bits.
[23:39] <abcde_> brandon_, Yeah, you need it, I didn't want you to go to the trouble if you didn't need it.
[23:39] <tic^> Codenut, why use putty? SSH is built in..
[23:39] <btard> I am trying to install the newest drivers for my graphics card. I've been using the ones from the ATI site, but I do not believe they are the correct ones (non-ubuntu). where would I find the correct ones?
[23:39] <Codenut> I can be hacked?
[23:39] <abcde_> btard, What is your video card?  fglrx is only needed for x1***
[23:40] <btard> I have a 9200
[23:40] <juano__> Tim__  /etc/resolv.conf for names   /etc/networks  also
[23:40] <ton1> Synaptic Package Manager Preferences dialog is hanging the application
[23:40] <Mp5> gmonnerat i will be check now ;\
[23:40] <btard> abcde_: I have a 9200
[23:40] <operator011> Codenut: It's not really worth worrying about on a personal machine.
[23:40] <kelsin> Codenut: I use synergy, but just ask your question if you have a question about synergy
[23:40] <Tim__> juano__, do you have an idea why wireless works on the livecd but not when I install ubuntu?
[23:40] <brandon_> abcde_: rdm says it is enabled, but it hink i may have a problem getting it to control my monitor
[23:40] <abcde_> btard, Two things, one don't repeat that fast, people are unlikely to help if you ask that fast.  I wouldn't have, if I saw the second time you asked before I pressed enter.
[23:40] <yaaar> word
[23:40] <T1m0thy> Soup, /b/tard?
[23:40] <punkgy> does anybody know of a tool that will let me make an iso file out of a dvd that is in my dvd drive?
[23:41] <yaaar> does totem+gstreamer really not work with dvd's properly? e.g. with menus and such?
[23:41] <btard> Sorry. My fault.
[23:41] <Codenut> Ok I am assuming then that synergy works fine with ubuntu, thanks. I really want a streaming screen for chat.
[23:41] <abcde_> brandon_, I don't know how to install it, I was just making sure you wouldn't go to the trouble if you didn't have to.  I can't help there
[23:41] <juano__> Tim__ did you install the driver at the restricted drivers manager ?
[23:41] <mike3> Omnius: I'm sure you just set the default gateway under route. Then the bridge will use the gateway.
[23:41] <btard> t1m0thy: lolwut?
[23:41] <juano__> Tim__ check System ---> administration ----> restricted drivers
[23:41] <abcde_> Codenut, Are the two monitors on Ubuntu, or one Ubuntu and the other on another OS?
[23:41] <juano__> Tim__ see if your card is listed there
[23:42] <sparkymist> hello
[23:42] <Zaqio> Anyone know how to get Crative Live Vista IM web cam to work?
[23:42] <Codenut> I am trying to plan the system from the advise of the consensus of people. Kind of trying to learn hard lessons over and over.
[23:42] <abcde_> btard, With a 9200 you don't need fglrx.
[23:42] <sparkymist> how is everyone?
[23:42] <Kienur> i got a problem with suspend: after a restart, i get a black screen only, but with a mouse on it. after ctrl/alt/back and relog i get no wallpaper nor icons on the desktop, but the panels are there - using nvidia and feisty
[23:42] <Tim__> juano__, no the driver is installed by default, I can see the network in the network-manager list, when I click on it running the livecd it asks for my wpa key I enter it and it works, when I click on it on my installed Ubuntu it asks for a wep passphrase which is obviously wrong and it doesn't work
[23:43] <ton1> Synaptic Package Manager hangs when I try to make changes using the Preferences dialog window. is there any way to make these changes without using the GUI?
[23:43] <btard> abcde_, So it needs no additional drivers?
[23:43] <Codenut> not learn lessons, sorry
[23:43] <kelsin> ton1: what change did you want?
[23:43] <gmonnerat> Mp5: my friend have this same problem with gforce, but i don't know if he resolved
[23:43] <juano__> Tim__ it doesnt show wpa option when you click on your network showing on nm-applet  ?
[23:43] <ton1> kelsin: I'm trying to make changes in the Network to remove a Proxy setting
[23:43] <Codenut> Can I use the same computer with two monitors??? If so, what do I do?
[23:44] <Tim__> juano__, no, just wep and leap
[23:44] <Codenut> OS would be Ubuntu
[23:44] <ton1> kelsin: When I click apply, the application hangs
[23:44] <mibbit> Hi how do I diagnose iptables firewall issue, it all looks fine to me but connection is refused. How do I know why it was refused?
[23:44] <jacob> crimsun: can i boot to rescue cd and replace my system?
[23:44] <crimsun> jacob: yes.
[23:44] <kelsin> Codenut: if you have two monitor outs and a grpahics card that supports both yes. Synergy doesn't let you display things on the second monitor, just use the keyboard and mouse from one computer to control the other as well
[23:44] <rapid> Codenut: plug them in. configure twinview or xinerama
[23:44] <jacob> crimsun: without having to lose data
[23:44] <pianist> how can i take out atheros hardvare acces layer
[23:44] <crimsun> jacob: no.
[23:45] <juano__> Tim__ mmm.... check synaptic and search for wpasupplicant
[23:45] <tuxthepenguin533> #windows
[23:45] <juano__> Tim__ it should be installed , otherwise install it
[23:45] <jacob> crimsun: explain the "yes"
[23:45] <Mp5> gmonnerat oh,now i can't to boot ubuntu ;) download movie and i will goin to sleep ;) and tommorow will test your steps ;) ask your friend if yes -> how .. ;\
[23:45] <Tim__> juano__, it's a base Ubuntu install so its installed by default
[23:45] <geck1> Thanks everyone who helped earlier, I finally got my sound working =) I had to disable onboard sound from my bios.  next question, I want to change the theme of ubuntu, and i'm looking on gnome-look.org.  how do I know which ones I can use (gtk, compiz, beryl, gnome, kde) its all greek to me =P
[23:45] <brandon_> is there anybody here who does know about fglrx?
[23:45] <Mp5> and goodnight now all :)
[23:46] <juano__> Tim__ weird wpa doesnt show up as an option in the connect window prompt
[23:46] <jacob> crimsun: in other words, how can i do to restore my system in rescue mode
[23:46] <crimsun> jacob: it's obviated by my latter answer.
[23:46] <Codenut> Thanks for your time gang, it seems my system is not working right now.
[23:46] <Codenut> cheers,
[23:46] <juano__> Tim__ there is an automatic option i think
[23:46] <juano__> Tim__ is there ?
[23:47] <juano__> Tim__ also check to see in network settings if your card is in roaming mode
[23:47] <Tim__> juano__, no, network-manager automatically chooses what it thinks is the right one
[23:47] <Tom47> inga i see you made it ok
[23:47] <juano__> Tim__ it should be on roaming mode, you shoudn't need to set anything manually
[23:47] <Tim__> juano__, yes it is in roaming mode, otherwise the networks wouldn't even show up
[23:47] <juano__> Tim__ yep
[23:48] <gmonnerat> Mp5: yes, ok.
[23:48] <geck1> does anyone know how i can tell what themes I can use (compiz, beryl, gtk, metacity)....I'm looking on gnome-look.org, and theres a lot of different ones, but I assume I can only use one type?
[23:48] <Tim__> juano__, it has to be seomthing in my /home folder because that's the only point where the livecd and my installed version differ
[23:48] <geck1> I have ubuntu 7.10
[23:48] <Mp5> gmonnerat thanks and gnight ;)
[23:48] <kane77> what is the nicest jabber client? (I want to make my sister switch to jabber ;))
[23:48] <MattJ> kane77: I like Gajim best
[23:48] <kelsin> deprecatd: if you don't have the 3d visual effects on then metacity, if you do then the compiz ones. GTK themes theme the buttons and widget on your desktop, not the windows
[23:49] <kelsin> kane77: I like pidgin for everything
[23:49] <Dr_willis> geck1,  compiz has its own themes, its the same as beryl, it can also  set up and use the gtk themes..
[23:49] <Tom47> !install > inga
[23:49] <MattJ> kane77: But it's always a matter of preference :)
[23:49] <geck1> ok, I'm not exactly sure what all that means, i'll look them up and learn a bit =P
[23:49] <tekteen> anyone know how to make a remastered alt. install cd get some packages from a local apt-cacher server?
[23:49] <geck1> thanks
[23:49] <brobostigon> only prob with pidgin, no video, no voip.
[23:49] <ArthurArchnix> The default python program that comes with ubuntu is just run in the terminal, is there some other program that would be better suited? like a text editor with a python plugin
[23:50] <Zaqio> I have a big problem on pc, I just installed Linux on my other pc and it can't find the hard drive to boot linux
[23:50] <kelsin> geck1: compiz / beryl / metacity are all windows managers, so those themes theme your windows borders depending on which one you're using. GTK is the buttons and other widgets (scroll bars, checkboxes and stuff)
[23:50] <jrib> ArthurArchnix: better suited for what?
[23:50] <juano__> Tim__ have you checked the wireless docs ?
[23:50] <MattJ> kane77: Gajim is Jabber-only, but it supports more of Jabber than Pidgin does
[23:50] <kane77> MattJ, what more of jabber?
[23:50] <kelsin> ArthurArchnix: gedit can edit python files with syntax highlighting, and both vi and emacs (the good text editors) have suport for python and have X versions
[23:51] <MattJ> kane77: More of Jabber's functionality
[23:51] <Tim__> juano__, where are those?
[23:51] <juano__> !wpa | Tim__
[23:51] <ubotu> Tim__: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[23:51] <MattJ> kane77: Browsing services, and registering, not sure exactly what else
[23:52] <kane77> MattJ, hmm.. didn't know that.. but I guess I'm okay with pidgin.. and well sister prefers looks over anything else :)
[23:52] <Dr_willis> ArthurArchnix,  better suited for what?
[23:52] <Tim__> the real question still remains, why does it work perfectly on the livecd and not on a real install? where is the difference
[23:52] <ArthurArchnix> jrib: Saving files, navigating, cutting and pasting.
[23:52] <bolt> what's the easiest way of putting the bootable cd on a usb drive? i want to install to a computer that has no cd-rom or floppy or pxe-compatible network card
[23:53] <jrib> ArthurArchnix: use your favorite text editor
[23:53] <MattJ> kane77: See http://gajim.org/ for screenshots :)
[23:53] <Dr_willis> bolt,  check the Install factoid site. it has info on doing that.
[23:53] <Dr_willis> !install bolt
[23:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about install bolt - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:53] <Dr_willis> !install | bolt
[23:53] <ubotu> bolt: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[23:53] <ArthurArchnix> A text editor like gedit is easier for me to do those things the terminal. I've found the python plugin in for gedit (thanks kelsin).
[23:53] <lufis> Would compiling the latest xorg break my gutsy system?
[23:54] <jrib> ArthurArchnix: you don't need any plugin though
[23:54] <kelsin> lufis: why do you want to do this?
[23:54] <lufis> kelsin: because the repo's version is messing up
[23:54] <juano__> Tim__ try this sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[23:54] <amp> i have a problem getting voice in yahoo ( Gyachi-E ) ...It says it needs theses files  tsd32.dll and  tssoft.acm
[23:54] <sethk> amp, those are windows files
[23:55] <kelsin> lufis: how so? If you don't have lots of experience compiling / install software on a linux system, then trying to do it with xorg is probably not a safe bet, esp if you don't know the full reason why you want to do it
[23:55] <sethk> amp, they should have a linux version.  At least I hope they do.
[23:55] <lufis> kelsin: i know what i'm doing, i'm just wondering if it would mess anything up
[23:55] <juano__> Tim__ then this sudo /etc/init.d/dbus restart
[23:55] <Tim__> juano__,  well I'm currently in windows... but I know that this command wouldn't do anything except to tell me that it's already installed
[23:55] <kazol> What are some good games for Linux (besides America's Army)?
[23:55] <juano__> Tim__ well try reinstalling it then
[23:55] <juano__> Tim__ thats the idea
[23:55] <amp> I have a problem with the program “Gyach” to run in yahoo but now when I click to get sound/voice in the yahoo chat room I get this message saying
[23:55] <amp> “Cannot run gyvoice due to the following missing files: tsd32.dll and  tssoft.acm
[23:55] <kelsin> kazol: unreal 2004 and soon tournament 3
[23:55] <Q_Continuum> Wireless bug/issue: No way to force Ubuntu to rescan for available wireless networks via the GUI - I notice this issue 1) when I power-cycle the wireless router and 2) when I return from hibernate in a different location, without the network I was connected to when I first entered hibernation.
[23:56] <sethk> kelsin, lufis is quite correct.  I've been a programmer for 35 years, and I've built just about every package from scratch, and xorg took me three days.
[23:56] <lufis> sethk: so it's basically openoffice? :p
[23:56] <Tim__> ok I'll reboot and try that
[23:56] <tekteen> anyone know how to make a remastered alt. install cd get some (or all) packages from a local apt-cacher server?
[23:56] <Tim__> brb
[23:56] <juano__> Tim__ ok
[23:56] <kelsin> sethk: :) no where did I say you shouldn't do it, or that it will 100% break your system, but if you don't have a good reason for bypassing the packaging system, and don't know what you're doing then clearly you should not be compiling xorg from scratch, that's the only point I was trying to make
[23:57] <sethk> lufis, comparable
[23:57] <sam_> can somebody tell me why I'm getting this error:
[23:57] <sethk> kelsin, no argument here
[23:57] <sam_> woops
[23:57] <lufis> sethk: i am pretty sure it's not my monitor, because when going to a tty things are fine. The bottom of the screen flickers and there are other abnormalities
[23:58] <sethk> lufis, if there is a frame buffer enabled, disable it.
[23:58] <lufis> sethk: well i've been on the same hardware for a while... i'm using a custom kernel but it's just now starting to act up and i've been using that kernel for a while
[23:58] <lufis> sethk: so i dunno what's up
[23:58] <sethk> lufis, it used to work without this problem, and you've not reconfigured?
[23:59] <Ominous> how do you flush dns in ubuntu?
[23:59] <lufis> sethk: nope
[23:59] <kelsin> Ominous: unless you're running a dns server (bind etc) there is no dns caching by default
[23:59] <sethk> lufis, if it's not the monitor, then it's the graphics board
[23:59] <kelsin> Ominous: what issue are you experiencing?
[23:59] <lufis> sethk: graphics is onboard
