[06:02] <RioMerc> Sorry 'bout !language
[06:02] <tritium> bullgard4: since by default you're not running bind
[06:02] <Animagladius> Cya guys

[06:04] <tritium> RioMerc: well, you've promptly apologized each time.  Please do refrain from the foul language.  Thanks.

[06:04] <RioMerc> Used to the rest of the non-family-friendly internet
[06:04] <andi5> kindofabuzz: you may have luck that the current mapping is the same as when booting, so issue grub and then use (hdx,y)/ <tab> completion to list files... just a wild guess
[06:05] <Jeffmeister> brb
[06:05] <devicenull> What would cause the context menu option "start with wine" to fail, and running the program manually through the console to work?
[06:05] <bullgard4> tritium: Do you refer to "The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) is the most widely-used name server software on the Internet"?
[06:06] <kindofabuzz> well i installed mepis but didn't install it's grub cause i didn't wanna overwrite this one, but now i wanna add it to grup, i know it's on sda3 but grub uses sytzx like hd(0,1)
[06:06] <andi5> bullgard4: bind9, yes i suppose that is the application to the description you mentioned
[06:06] <tritium> bullgard4: yes, of which you only have the bind9-host package, and not the bind9 server package

[06:06] <Zasch> Hello. Is there a way to search for files in Ubuntu?
[06:06] <zcat[1]> Zasch: locate
[06:06] <kindofabuzz> whereis
[06:06] <pike_> Zasch: several
[06:06] <tritium> and which
[06:06] <zcat[1]> Zasch: or the search tool on the toolbar (looks like a magnifying glass)
[06:07] <andi5> Zasch: find :)
[06:07] <kindofabuzz> or he probably means through a gui
[06:07] <kindofabuzz> i know my tracker doesn't work
[06:07] <Zasch> pike_: What are some of the other ones?
[06:07] <pike_> Zasch: there are also some good search tools you can install through the package manager like beagle
[06:07] <zcat[1]> Places > Search for files
[06:07] <andi5> Zasch: what do you try to achieve?
[06:08] <bullgard4> andi5, tritium On my Ubuntu 7.10 computer there is the DEB program package 'bind9-host' installed.
[06:08] <tritium> bullgard4: as I told you there was
[06:08] <Saraphim> Hi everyone. Is there a way that I can start a program on another user's X server= Say user Joe is logged on an x server and I want to log in as user Joe on an ssh client and start a program on the running X server?
[06:08] <Zasch> andi5: I need to scan a large number of documents, and there is a standardised naming pattern ([Year][Department ID][Section ID][Part ID]), and I need to be able to pull up specific documents quickly
[06:09] <Rhihannisu> linux n00b here, have a gui question.  is there a way to set different background images/wallpapers for each workspace?
[06:09] <neeto> Does anyone know anything about DNS forwarding on a local network using bind9?
[06:09] <bazhang> Saraphim: with or without their knowledge?
[06:10] <pike_> Rhihannisu: yes in xubuntu (xfce) and kde (kubuntu) fraid im not sure about gnome
[06:10] <andi5> Zasch: do those files change a lot?  i suppose you could either index them, using beagle or trackerd, or use slocate (with anacron)
[06:10] <Saraphim> bazhang: Currently I can start the program AS their user, so I suppose they won't be able to know either way?
[06:11] <bazhang> Saraphim: with their permission? what program are you trying to run and to what end?
[06:11] <Rhihannisu> k thanx Pike, tho I am using gnome for now.  long-time windows guy trying to defect...
[06:11] <pike_> Rhihannisu: you might search ubuntuforums.org im sure it comes up often
[06:11] <Zasch> andi5: The files should never change after they are put on the computer. Another thing that it needs to be able to do is pull up documents that partially match the filename (so, for instance, if I wanted everything from 2007 from Department 1, I could type in 200701 and get everything). One problem is that I've already put several documents on the computer, but they don't show up in search
[06:12] <Saraphim> bazhang: It's a general case. In this case I want to start transmission on their end, but as I said, it's a general case. What I want is for their program to turn up on their graphical interface even though I've started it from a remote SSH terminal.
[06:12] <bazhang> Saraphim: you want to use their computer as a zombie botnet? is that the gist of it?
[06:12] <andi5> Zasch: you could also use file globbing, like 2008-*-*-whatever.txt and alike (google will help)
[06:13] <tsukasa> hey guys, my tab autocompletion isnt working with sudo - any idea why?
[06:13] <Saraphim> bazhang: No, not at all. I've killed a program remotely because it was being a problem and now I want to restart it and make it appear on their desktop again.
[06:13] <bullgard4> tritium: On my computer the DEB program package 'bind9' is not installed. Synaptic says: "Internet Domain Name Server." Would I have a /var/named directory if I installed the 'bind9' package?
[06:13] <bazhang> Saraphim: why not just use rtorrent then? no gui
[06:13] <andi5> tsukasa: you mean it does not auto-complete binaries in root's PATH but not in yours?
[06:14]  * omolina is away: Not here
[06:14] <Saraphim> bazhang: Because I want it to reappear on their desktop. :-)
[06:14] <tritium> bullgard4: I told you you'd only have the bind9-host package installed.  And no, the bind9 package doesn't include /var/named.  Why do you want that directory?
[06:14] <tsukasa> andi5, it will complete directories but not say apt-get or mkfs.<tab>
[06:14] <Zasch> andi5: Hmm. I'm trying to use Tracker, and it is finding some (old) files but not others. Why would this be the case?
[06:14] <Saraphim> bazhang: A more general question then; Is there no way I can launch a program from ssh that will use the target machine's X server as display?
[06:15] <andi5> Zasch: i have no idea... i personally strongly dislike programs disturbing my usual work flow :)
[06:15] <bullgard4> tritium: In order to learn more about the meaning of Red Hat's 'Zone files'.
[06:15] <bazhang> talk about offtopic ;]
[06:16] <andi5> Zasch: please re-ask generically, i.e. do not address me =)
[06:16] <tritium> bullgard4: truly offtopic in an ubuntu channel
[06:16] <pike_> Saraphim: 'w' to see whos logged in and their display. then export DISPLAY=0:0  then gedit & or whatever is that what you mean?
[06:16] <Zasch> I'm trying to use Tracker to find some stuff. It will find old files, but not new ones. Why is this?
[06:16] <andi5> [ot] let us spread fud about redhat...
[06:16] <RioMerc> Hmm
[06:16] <tsukasa> andi5, any idea whats wrong?
[06:16] <legend2440> tsukasa: when i type sudo apt <TAB> i have to hit tab twice before it works
[06:16] <bazhang> Saraphim: any reason you cannot just ask them to start it? do they know you can ssh into their boxes?
[06:17] <tsukasa> legend2440, i can button mash tab it wont autocomplete
[06:17] <andi5> tsukasa: i am not sure i understand what kind of autocompletion you mean... could you please elaborate?
[06:17] <RioMerc> I don't suppose anyone has experience with a Dual Desktop setup?
[06:17] <pike_> RioMerc: i have exp poiting to this url :-) http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/DualHead
[06:17] <bullgard4> tritium: Please tell me please why Ubuntu is not concerned with 'Zone files' and 'PTR' and 'Resource records'.
[06:18] <bazhang> bullgard4:  please read /topic
[06:18] <legend2440> tsukasa:  does it work if you type apt <TAB> without sudo?
[06:18] <tsukasa> andi5, if im doing sudo cd /et<tab> it will complete to etc, but if i do sudo apt-get install firefo<tab> nothing happens. Same with commands, if im trying to autocomplete to 'compiz' and its preceded by sudo, sudo comp<tab> completes nothing
[06:18] <tsukasa> legend2440, yes ti does
[06:18] <andi5> bullgard4: please install bind9 first
[06:18] <tritium> bullgard4: you asked about "Red Hat's 'Zone Files'," which is why it was offtopic
[06:18] <Zasch> As another question: Is there any way to encrypt things in Ubuntu?
[06:18] <bazhang> Zasch: sure
[06:18] <tritium> Zasch: sure, with gpg, for one
[06:19] <andi5> tsukasa: because the auto-completion code detects sudo as executable and not apt-get
[06:19] <pike_> Zasch: a few
[06:19] <pike_> !truecrypt
[06:19] <ubotu> Truecypt is a free open-source on-the-fly disk encryption software.  See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/TruecryptHiddenVolume
[06:19] <pike_> Zasch: thats whole disk encryption though
[06:19] <tsukasa> andi5, how do i fix it though
[06:19] <andi5> tsukasa: you could work in a root shell with sudo -i
[06:20] <Zasch> All I'd like to do is encrypt things like data on customers, that sort of thing
[06:20] <tsukasa> andi5, yeah but in gutsy this worked. im running the heron beta right now
[06:20] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 please tsukasa
[06:21] <andi5> tsukasa: i suppose bash-completion is still installed?

[06:21] <andi5> tsukasa: weird, it works for me...

[06:24] <legend2440> tsukasa: #ubuntu+1 is channel for Hardy they may know
[06:24] <Zasch> Are there such a thing as "free" and "unfree" image formats?
[06:24] <bazhang> tsukasa: this is not the channel for it you have been told several times politely
[06:24] <tsukasa> legend2440, yeah, i have the feeling this is just a switch or a whitelist somewhere though
[06:25] <tsukasa> bazhang, i can tell you something several times too doesnt make me any more of an authority on the subject
[06:25] <tsukasa> bazhang, i heard you the first time

[06:32] <travisat> LainIwakura: you should be able too, but there is a small chance it can mess up your windows partition
[06:33] <LainIwakura> travisat: Okay. Will reading files on the NTFS partition mess up with my Windows partition?
[06:33] <travisat> LainIwakura: no reading will have no effect
[06:33] <LainIwakura> travisat: Thanks.
[06:34] <travisat> LainIwakura: in almost all cases writing should have no effect either, but since ntfs is proprietary and the methods are reverse engineered there is a small chance on writing you can mess it up
[06:34] <pike_> LainIwakura: writing is considered stable now as well for some time
[06:34] <pike_> LainIwakura: worst case.. you lose windows :)

[06:55] <bazhang> xb3rt: you might wait a couple of weeks when it will be in the Hardy repos
[06:56] <cabrioleur> inflex, Scribus is a publishing tool (making newspapers, bulletins, etc), inkscape is a vector drawing software (like corel draw)
[06:56] <xb3rt> bazhang: i had it on here, and reinstalled the OS a few weeks ago, but forgot how i got it
[06:57] <inflex> thanks cabrioleur
[06:57] <bazhang> xb3rt: is that icedtea or the jre?

[06:58] <xb3rt> bazhang: jre
[06:58] <ricksta1080> gutsy
[06:59] <legend2440> ricksta1080: cause ksayit is a kde app and it might be easier to get festival working
[06:59] <bazhang> gutsy has gnome and kde and xfce ;]
[06:59] <ricksta1080> is festival a program that does the same thing?
[06:59] <ricksta1080> the same thing as ksayit
[06:59] <ricksta1080> ?
[06:59] <cabrioleur> bazhang, or ubuntu-gnome, ubuntu-kde, ubuntu-xfce :-)

[07:21] <fnordarius> i tried to install it
[07:21] <crashhandler> bazhang^  yes please,i think kopete cant display chinese characters
[07:21] <fnordarius> it won't work
[07:22] <eric84> may i ask a question about a problem i'm having?
[07:22] <tsukasa> if i have www.google.com how can i regex it to .google?
[07:22] <legend2440> fnordarius: so you tried installing  language-support-de and language-package-de?
[07:22] <fnordarius> yeah
[07:22] <crashhandler> eric84^  yes you may
[07:22] <crashhandler> haha
[07:23] <eric84> didn't want to interrupt =]
[07:24] <eric84> i installed for the first time on a completely new hdd, was using synaptic to get security updates and it locked up, i rebooted, and now when i login it basically locks up with just the background color, the gui doesnt appear
[07:24] <gyro54> Evening all, what is the best SQL creator gui
[07:24] <eric84> do i need to reinstall the os?
[07:25] <kounryusui> eric84: reinstall would be the easiest and quickest solution
[07:25] <eric84> any idea why it might have locked up during the update.. or something i should do to prevent that from happening again?
[07:26] <legend2440> fnordarius: do you have gutsy updates selected in synaptic repositories?
[07:27] <fnordarius> ok this is the rror msg
[07:27] <fnordarius> E: /var/cache/apt/archives/language-pack-de_1%3a8.04+20080317_all.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/share/locale-langpack/de/LC_MESSAGES/shared-mime-info.mo', which is also in package language-pack-gnome-de
[07:27] <fnordarius> shared-mine-info
[07:27] <fnordarius> fire in the hole or something
[07:28] <legend2440> fnordarius: you running hardy?
[07:28] <fnordarius> yeah
[07:28] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 please fnordarius
[07:28] <Adpad> hi all, really been battling with installation of Video drivers, can anyone help?
[07:28] <legend2440> fnordarius: #ubuntu+1 is help channel for hardy they may know
[07:29] <bazhang> crashhandler: kopete seems to work fine with chinese characters here; just make sure you have skim installed and configured and that should do it
[07:29] <bazhang> Adpad: which card and driver and how installed please
[07:29] <crashhandler> bazhang^  ok,thanks for the info,,ill configure skim noww
[07:30] <bazhang> crashhandler: you need to install it first iirc ;]
[07:30] <Adpad> bazhang: nVidia drivers for 6600 GT, installed using standard manual download based on a forum guide, also tried to use Envy
[07:30] <crashhandler> bazhang^  ive installed it just now,but where to run skim?
[07:30] <smehmood> hey all, is there a way I can access the files that are in the release cdrom repo from an online repo?
[07:30] <bazhang> Adpad: uh oh envy
[07:31] <Adpad> bazhang: I was desperate
[07:31] <Adpad> :(
[07:31] <Adpad> now I'm updating Ubuntu to see if that helps
[07:31] <bazhang> Adpad: why not use the restricted drivers manager? that usually does the trick
[07:31] <Adpad> I've got the KDE Community version
[07:32] <Adpad> is there an equivalent on KDE?
[07:32] <bazhang> crashhandler: have you checked in utiltites for taht?
[07:33] <bazhang> smehmood: you want to update and it asks for the cd?
[07:33] <smehmood> bazhang: no I want to install a package (pptp-linux) and then it prompts me to insert a CD which I don't have with me
[07:33] <bazhang> Adpad: sure just a sec
[07:33] <Adpad> thanks a lot :)
[07:34] <eric84> what would be the easiest way for me to reinstall ubuntu if i can't boot to the os?
[07:34] <Adpad> bazhang: do you recommend I do a complete uninstall of Envy btw>?
[07:34] <bazhang> smehmood: ah well then go into software sources and disable the cd as a source
[07:34] <Dr_willis> eric84,  best would be to fix the installed OS. not reinxtall at all.
[07:34] <moDumass> hey all, anyone know how to mount a HDD in a NAS as a local HDD?
[07:34] <smehmood> bazhang: I just finished commenting it out, hopeing it'd work
[07:35] <eric84> willis: someone else suggested a reinstall would be easiest... what would you suggest if after logging it freezes, no desktop appears?
[07:35] <eric84> sorry, not logging it, logging in
[07:36] <bazhang> smehmood now hit refresh (or sudo apt-get update) and then try again
[07:36] <balle> i have some problems playing mp3 files and viewing dvd's. the dvd's needs some codecs which i can't seem to install, and there just doesnt come any sound out on the mp3's
[07:36] <bazhang> balle: you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed?
[07:36] <Dr_willis> eric84,  boot the rescie mode see if you can get to a console.  if using an ati card. et X to use the vesa driver, or ati driver
[07:37] <balle> Bazhang: yea i did that install yesterday, still nothing works
[07:37] <msx98> hi
[07:37] <flowOver> !lamp
[07:37] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[07:37] <foldart> !libdvdcss | balle
[07:37] <ubotu> balle: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[07:37] <bazhang> balle: and you went to medibuntu for libdvdcss2?
[07:38] <eric84> Dr_willis: i tried using the boot cd but it just bumped me back to the live cd mode, is there a key stroke or something to get into rescue mode?
[07:38] <balle> bazhang: yea i tried that as well, still doesnt compute..
[07:38] <bazhang> balle: well those are not very informative error messages--could you be more precise please? could be a sound and/or graphics issue as well
[07:39] <eric84> Dr_willis: i'm sorry that was probably a stupid question, do i just use the live cd to run a terminal?
[07:40] <Dr_willis> eric84,  thats one way.. but normally theres a rescue/recovery entry in the grub menus when you boot
[07:40] <balle> Bazhang: well, if i try to play an mp3, even in root, it will play along just fine, but no sound will ever appear to be heard
[07:40] <Dr_willis> eric84,  what is your video card?
[07:40] <bazhang> Adpad: are you on that computer now?
[07:41] <Adpad> yes
[07:41] <eric84> Dr_willis: it's a winfast geforce 2
[07:41] <Adpad> I am :)
[07:41] <kindofabuzz> balle: are you sure your sound works?
[07:41] <bazhang> Adpad: could you pastebin your xorg.conf?
[07:41] <balle> kindofabuzz: well, no actually how can i check that?
[07:41] <kindofabuzz> did you here anything when you log on?
[07:42] <Adpad> bazhang: sure, but it's changed so many times, yet I always get a blackscreen, so I always have to restore to default
[07:42] <kindofabuzz> you should hear a startup sound
[07:42] <kindofabuzz> gotta start simple first: are your speakers on and plugged in?
[07:43] <balle> kinofabuzz: i hear nothing of the kind, though i have heard some sounds, when using internet messenger...
[07:43] <balle> kingofabuzz: i'll check that
[07:43] <kindofabuzz> oh ok
[07:43] <kindofabuzz> hehe i like that, kingofabuzz
[07:43] <Adpad> bazhang: is it alright if I query you? it might make things a little easier to follow ;)
[07:44] <balle> kindofabuzz: heh, sry bout that
[07:44] <emja> can anyone point me to a howto/faq (or tell me this is impossible) for mounting a LVM volume/partition in a USB enclosure? I have a HDD pre-partitioned with LVM which I then plonked in a UCB enclosure. How do I access the contents?
[07:44] <emja> s/UCB/USB/
[07:44] <eric84> Dr_willis: i don't see anything about rescue/recovery when i boot... there's no grub menu displayed
[07:45] <Dr_willis> eric84,  try hiting the escape key? I hate how ubuntu likes to hied the default grub stuff
[07:45] <Dr_willis> Normally theres 2 entries for each kernel.
[07:45] <eric84> k thx
[07:46] <bazhang> Adpad: better to do it in channel and share the knowledge ;] if you install pastebinit and then cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit it will give you a url to post here
[07:46] <emja> Dr_Link: gotta be dumbed down for the masses, eh? ;-)
[07:46] <emja> oops...
[07:46] <emja> Dr_willis: gotta be dumbed down for the masses, eh? ;-)
[07:46] <emja> sheesh
[07:46] <eric84> i certainly know about as little as possible =D
[07:46] <bazhang> emja: support question?
[07:46] <Adpad> bazhang: okay, cool, no problem - but please remember that it's the default and only working config - when I install anything it dies!
[07:46] <balle> kindofabuzz: no sound on anything sadly...
[07:46] <emja> bazhang: sorry?
[07:47] <bazhang> emja: name calling not really welcome here thanks
[07:47] <Dr_willis> all the recovery mode does is append the  'single' option to the end of hte kernel optiosn it seems
[07:47] <emja> bazhang: name calling?
[07:47] <Dr_willis> (recovery) single
[07:47] <Dr_willis> I wish they had a 'real' recovery mode. that ran some wizard to fix select issues
[07:47] <eric84> Dr_willis: i got into the recovery mode.. what should i look for next?
[07:48] <bazhang> emja: we were all new users once; you know what I am talking about
[07:48] <Dr_willis> eric84,  ive totally frogenten your original problem...
[07:48] <legend2440> balle: have you checked System>preferences>sound to check if anything plays?
[07:48] <eric84> hehe, sorry.. i was running synaptic after a fresh new install, it locked up, i rebooted, now when i login it just locks up
[07:48] <Jeffmeister> Im just about done with ubuntu. For the last 10 hours I have been trying to install. I got a Q6600, 8800GT, 3GB DDR2, x86 (32bit) system. Live CD gives me beeping/black screen on regular/lowgraphics, alternate cd will not install correctly, even the minimal install doesn't work... anyone wanna try to help?
[07:49] <emja> bazhang: ahh... I can see the honest misunderstanding. No, you're way off mark, but I can see how that happened.
[07:49] <bazhang> emja okay then no worries
[07:49] <emja> bazhang: your concern is appreciated, however
[07:49] <Jeffmeister> and the fact that i dont have my laptop is ticking me off even more
[07:49] <bazhang> Jeffmeister: best to take a break; Rome was not built in a day
[07:49] <Jeffmeister> ya
[07:49] <Jeffmeister> i think
[07:50] <Jeffmeister> im gonna give it a shot tomarrow
[07:50] <bazhang> Jeffmeister: we will be here ;]
[07:50] <Dr_willis> some new machines just have odd-bios oddities. :(
[07:50] <eric84> heh
[07:50] <moDumass> hey all, so i have a NAS device with 2 hdds in it. 1 200giger, and 1 500giger, i can see the 200giger, but i cant remember how to mount the 500giger
[07:50] <moDumass> any ideas
[07:50] <Dr_willis> try some other live cd's to see if any other disrtos work.
[07:50] <msx98> when will ubuntu 8.04 be released?
[07:50] <Jeffmeister> i heard about some hdci setting in the bios that might help
[07:50] <moDumass> im not asking google the right questions
[07:50] <emja> msx98: late next month, I think
[07:50] <bazhang> msx98: late april #ubuntu+1 for more thanks
[07:51] <eric84> Dr_willis: did you see my reply?
[07:51] <Adpad> bazhang: sorry for the delay, just waiting for processes to free up (i'm busy updating ;)
[07:51] <zcat[1]> Jeffmeister: I think mostly you have a video card that's not well supported in ubuntu yet. If there's a LUG in your area, it might be best to find someone there that can help you get stuff running.
[07:51] <bazhang> Adpad: no hurry ;]
[07:51] <Jeffmeister> alot of people with 8800GT have installed with no problem
[07:51] <yowshi> i have something wierd going on with my mount command mount -a tells me that /dev/hda1 doesnt exist i cd to the directory and it does indeed not exist nor does fdisk -l find an hda1 but for some reason mount -a seems to think there is one. how would i diagnose what the cause of this is
[07:52] <bazhang> Jeffmeister: true; and yours can be fixed as well--best to get some shuteye first ;]
[07:52] <emja> so, anyone know if it is possible to mount a LVM partn in a USB enclosure?
[07:52] <zcat[1]> Jeffmeister: Hmmm, yeah. Problems arise when you try ti install the nvidia drivers. Who knows..
[07:52] <Dr_willis> eric84,  i woudl start with a 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get upgrade'
[07:52] <Adpad> how do I get a drive to mount if it isn't responding after an unclean shutdown??
[07:53] <Dr_willis> eric84,  it could be it crashed befor it properly installed the video card drivers
[07:53] <Lapinux> Jeffmeister: you still here
[07:53] <kindofabuzz> jeff did you try  changing spalsh to nosplash at the boot options?
[07:53] <zcat[1]> Jeffmeister: ran into that card a couple of times tho.. a bit of a hassle but once it's going it's a pretty good card
[07:53] <Dr_willis> Adpad,  you mean a ntfs filesystem? or ext2/3?
[07:53] <Adpad> Dr_willis: sorry, ntfs
[07:53] <eric84> Dr_willis: k, thanks for your help
[07:54] <Lapinux> Jeffmeister: I have almost the same system as you, Q6600, 6800GT, 4GB ram, but am running 7.10 64bit
[07:54] <bazhang> Jeffmeister: I want to get that card; so will make sure it works for you ;]
[07:54] <Dr_willis> Adpad,  try to mount it manually. You will most likely see a message about a 'force option' OR you can reboot to windows and let windows check the disks, and proplery shut down.
[07:54] <kindofabuzz> Jeffmeister: change quite splash to nosplash at boot options
[07:54] <Adpad> cool
[07:55] <zcat[1]> 8500GT here, no problems.. the 8800gt isn't supported in nvidia-glx-new iirc..
[07:55] <Adpad> The reason is: I've _really_ been battling to get virtualbox working with an EXISTING windows installation
[07:55] <Lapinux> Jeffmeister: err i meant 8600GT
[07:55] <Adpad> it goes crazy, very slow, and mouse clicks uncontrollably
[07:55] <brianlight> Adpad is this drive a Seagate Freeagent drive?
[07:55] <[[thufir]]> what's the correct way to set $JAVA_HOME?  .bashrc?
[07:55] <Jeffmeister> ya im here
[07:55] <kindofabuzz> Jeffmeister: are you running SLI?
[07:55] <Jeffmeister> no
[07:55] <Jeffmeister> just single card
[07:56] <Adpad> brianlight: not a Seagate Freeagent I don't think
[07:56] <kindofabuzz> try the nosplash option

[07:56] <Lapinux> Jeffmeister: when its booting, did you let it go for a bit and watch your pc for activity?
[07:56] <kindofabuzz> if you haven't
[07:56] <Jeffmeister> i cant boot
[07:56] <Jeffmeister> i cant even install it lol
[07:56] <Adpad> does anyone know how to get an existing windows installation working nicely in Virtualbox? :/
[07:56] <kindofabuzz> try what i said
[07:56] <Adpad> [sorry, I know I have accumulated lots of questions] ;)
[07:56] <Dr_willis> Adpad,  good luck with that :)
[07:56] <Lapinux> Jeffmeister: what happens when you try the live cd?
[07:56] <Jeffmeister> when i changed to nosplash
[07:56] <Jeffmeister> it just got stuck
[07:56] <Adpad> Dr_willis: lol, thanx ;)
[07:57] <Lapinux> blank screen?
[07:57] <Jeffmeister> when i use the live cd i choose normal or safe graphics
[07:57] <bazhang> let him sleep! ;]
[07:57] <Jeffmeister> and I start loading
[07:57] <Dr_willis> Adpad,  i keep my windows installs in a nice safe virtual hard drive file..
[07:57] <Jeffmeister> but it looks choppy
[07:57] <Adpad> Jeffmeister: if it's getting stuck, I used safe graphics and it started working
[07:57] <Jeffmeister> and then it starts beeping
[07:57] <brianlight> Apad I have not used an existing windows installation in Virtualbox but I have installed clean from a CD
[07:57] <Jeffmeister> and it goes black screen
[07:57] <Dr_willis> Adpad,  if you boot the actual install -  it might get confused about being put in a totally new machine. and then get confused again whenya boot it inside virtualbox..
[07:57] <Jeffmeister> safe graphics didnt work either
[07:58] <Jeffmeister> alternate cd didnt work either
[07:58] <Jeffmeister> neither did minimal cd that downloads for you
[07:58] <Adpad> Dr_willis: good idea, but I'm just concerned to move it all across!
[07:58] <Jeffmeister> and you choose installs
[07:58] <Lapinux> Jeffmeister: my problem was just the screen went blank during boot but would come back once at the login screen
[07:58] <Jeffmeister> what is all that i need just ubuntu desktop or what?
[07:58] <Adpad> Dr_willis: i've managed to get it booted and everything, just with problems
[07:58] <Jeffmeister> or do i need like MAIL servers
[07:58] <Jeffmeister> and all that crap
[07:58] <schwepps> how do i find out, from command line, what files a package installed?
[07:58] <Adpad> Jeffmeister - what graphics card are you using?  been reading about this the last 3 days
[07:58] <kindofabuzz> Jeffmeister: i just skimmed through this forum: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=580020  alot of different solutions
[07:58] <Jeffmeister> 8800GT
[07:59] <Adpad> there is a lot about these things on teh forums as kindofabuzz suggested
[07:59] <Jeffmeister> im gonna
[07:59] <Jeffmeister> go back at it
[07:59] <Jeffmeister> rofl
[07:59] <Adpad> there are some special boot commands too
[07:59] <kindofabuzz> try the nosplash first
[07:59] <Jeffmeister> like i said
[07:59] <Jeffmeister> nosplash
[07:59] <Jeffmeister> causes me to do nothing
[08:00] <kindofabuzz> oh, ok
[08:00] <Jeffmeister> it stays with a cursor at the top
[08:00] <Jeffmeister> just blinking
[08:00] <Lapinux> Jeffmeister: i would try loading the cd again and watch your cd or hd for activity, and try just taking splash off the end
[08:00] <Adpad> Dr_willis: i've managed to get it booted and everything, just with problems like: many random mouse clicks, insane slowness
[08:00] <kindofabuzz> well a blinking cursor is better than a black screen ! =)
[08:00] <Jeffmeister> no i mean
[08:00] <Jeffmeister> it didnt even load the loading
[08:00] <Rammy> That's quite optimistic.
[08:00] <Adpad> Jeffmeister: have you checked the other screens: ALT + F1 - 8
[08:00] <Jeffmeister> brb
[08:00] <kindofabuzz> i think you can hit ctrl-alt-f1 and actually see what's going on
[08:01] <brianlight> Apad sounds like your not giving your virtual machine any memory
[08:01] <Jeffmeister> gonna do some coding
[08:01] <bazhang> this is the optimism channel Rammy
[08:01] <Rammy> ;)
[08:01] <Jeffmeister> try to get this bitch installed
[08:01] <Adpad> brianlight:  - tried giving it almost up to 2 GB :(
[08:01] <brianlight> Is this a Vista windows install?
[08:01] <Adpad> XP :/
[08:02] <brianlight> Your best bet is a clean install from CD
[08:02] <Adpad> yea.. A clean install has worked nicely
[08:02] <Adpad> can you do a clean install on another HDD
[08:02] <Dr_willis> Adpad,  i would guess hardware driver confliuct and other issues...
[08:02] <cookie> hello
[08:02] <cookie> I have a problem with pidgin
[08:02] <bazhang> always had bad luck with vbox; vmware-server did it fine though
[08:02] <cookie> I can not recieve files
[08:03] <Adpad> bazhang: thanks for your patience: finally, Dr_willis: good idea, but I'm just battling to
[08:03] <Adpad> oops
[08:03] <Adpad> http://paste.stgraber.org/1916
[08:03] <brianlight> Adpad I use virtual box mainly for windows Audio editing apps
[08:03] <Adpad> better :)
[08:03] <cookie> I can send but I can not recieve
[08:03] <kindofabuzz> did jeffmeister leave?
[08:03] <bazhang> Adpad: thanks checking now
[08:03] <Adpad> thanks
[08:03] <Adpad> bazhang:  does VMWARE-SERVER have a seamless mode?
[08:03] <kindofabuzz> did anyone suggest to him to make sure the actaull cd doesn't have defects?
[08:03] <Lapinux> dont think so
[08:03] <Adpad> kindofabuzz: he tried the minimal install as well
[08:04] <Lapinux> and yes he left
[08:04] <cookie> hello
[08:04] <Adpad> I'm sure it's an NVIDIA issue again
[08:04] <Adpad> I've been battling with the same thing over the last few days
[08:04] <Lapinux> i think i had the same problems he did
[08:04] <bazhang> Adpad: vertrefresh seems insanely high
[08:04] <kindofabuzz> yeah
[08:04] <cookie> can somebody help me? why can I not recieve files through yahoo with pidginn
[08:04] <mix25> Hello, someone can help with my 5.1 audio. I can't get to work right. Now only is working like 2.1. I'm a newbie in linux. Thanks.
[08:04] <cookie> I can send but I can not recieve files
[08:04] <Adpad> bazhang: Yep - it's the default configuration that I've gone back to in order to get _any_ kde working... if I do nvidia installs, it's corrected...
[08:04] <Adpad> but doesn't work :/
[08:05] <Adpad> that's why it's the "vesa" driver
[08:05] <thelonecabbage> I"m having problems with networkmanager
[08:05] <brianlight> Adpad have you used ENVY
[08:05] <bazhang> Adpad: what about doing the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from the nvidia install?
[08:05] <Adpad> should I try do the install or the xorg-config and get back to you with an updated pastebin ?
[08:05] <thelonecabbage> my docs say that I should be able to right click it and get a VPN configuration option
[08:05] <Adpad> brianlight: I tried Envy, yes :/
[08:06] <thelonecabbage> but it only shows "Enable Neworking" and "about"
[08:06] <brianlight> Adpad do you have your kernel header files installed?
[08:06] <moDumass> ubuntu firefox extremely slow
[08:06] <Adpad> brianlight: how do I check that?
[08:06] <Adpad> bazhang: so basically uninstall Envy, nvidia-xconfig, then do a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[08:06] <kindofabuzz> cookie: if you google it, looks like a known problem
[08:06] <bazhang> moDumass: what about removing and reinstalling it? tried that yet?
[08:07] <moDumass> bazhang indeed i have
[08:07] <kindofabuzz> cookie: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=Z2M&sa=X&oi=spell&resnum=0&ct=result&cd=1&q=pidgin+can+send+but+not+receive+files+yahoo&spell=1
[08:07] <moDumass> removed <IP_ADDRESS> and installed 3.0
[08:07] <brianlight> s
[08:08] <bazhang> Adpad: uninstall the drivers and the envy and then try the dpkg command and choose a really low res
[08:08] <Adpad> cool, brb ;D
[08:08] <kindofabuzz> ooops that might not work, just google "pidgin can send but not recieve files yahoo
[08:09] <bazhang> moDumass: you installed firefox from the repos?
[08:09] <Jeffmeister> PCI: Failed to allocate mem error, what is that
[08:10] <Jeffmeister> i get that when im trying to install ubuntu
[08:10] <msx98> is it possible to change system language after installing?
[08:11] <Ibback> Hi all
[08:12] <Adpad> bazhang: I'm using the 'nv' drivers, and I just get a blue screen of rubbish if I do an xinit -- :2
[08:12] <Adpad> (with new drivers)
[08:12] <Adpad> erm
[08:12] <brianlight> msx98 you could do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a
[08:12] <Adpad> new settings for xorg
[08:12] <Adpad> I don't want to lose this support window
[08:12] <brianlight> but that asks you to reconfigure everything
[08:13] <brianlight> I'm not sure what package holds the system language right of the back
[08:13] <KalEl> 1) how can i find out who is connected to my computer through ssh? 2) how can i disconnect them?
[08:13] <Ibback> Hi all. Is it possible to link an existing window xp account to vmware inside ubuntu? or do i need to setup a window xp inside vmware. Does any1 know?
[08:13] <Dr_willis> KalEl,  try the 'who' command, and kill the pid of their shell.
[08:14] <juice_> anyone know what i can use to share mice and keyboards across different platforms?
[08:14] <Dr_willis> Ibback,  You mean an existing XP install on a 'real' hard drive and run it inside vmware?
[08:14] <KalEl> ok thanks!
[08:14] <Ibback> Dr_willis: Yes
[08:15] <artenius> KalEl: also look in /var/log/auth.log to see who's logging in
[08:15] <Dr_willis> Ibback,  i hear its doable.. and it can cause problems to the xp install. XP will basicially see that its been swaped to a new machine.. and reconfigure/reinstall drivers.. and it may trigger the activation.. THEN if you boot back to the HD.. it will do it all over again..
[08:16] <KalEl> artenius, ok great! thanks!
[08:16] <bazhang> all_generic_ide might help adding that to boot parameters Jeffmeister
[08:17] <bazhang> msx98 sure you change languages after installing; this is not vista ;]
[08:17] <Adpad> bazhang:  sorry, screen went crazy again, had to restart
[08:17] <Adpad> This just isn't working for me :((
[08:18] <bazhang> Adpad: try the vesa again and ininstall the non-free drivers as well and envy
[08:18] <bazhang> uninstall rather
[08:18] <Adpad> ok, I've uninstalled Envy
[08:19] <Adpad> what's the command for the non-free drivers? nvidia-xconfig ?
[08:19] <Adpad> btw, the screen is working again under vesa driver now
[08:19] <Ibback> Dr_willis: So, it is safer to just setup again inside vmware .right? BTW, i can fax from window xp itself but not in ubuntu, so can i still fax using xp virtual machine? I read from somewhere that xp virtual machines can only recorgnize devices that ubuntu only can
[08:19] <bazhang> okay Adpad that is good, now go into the restricted drivers manager and choose the nvidia drivers
[08:20] <Dr_willis> Ibback,  best to reinstall inside vmware..  as for hardware. it depends on the hardware
[08:20] <Adpad> bazhang: is there an equiv to the restricted drivers manager for KDE?
[08:20] <Dr_willis> Ibback,  there are fax tools for Ubuntu - but ive never used any
[08:20] <Adpad> (I'm using KDE community edition)
[08:20] <brianlight> adpad goto System----->Admin------->Hardware drivers and install the restricted divers ofr your Ubuntu installation
[08:20] <bazhang> Adpad: well I am no longer on gutsy so things have changed; but yes there is
[08:21] <todor> how to play mplayer movie with sub
[08:21] <[[thufir]]> I'm getting:  "Media change: please insert the disc labeled" when using apt-get to install a package.  I don't have such a disc, is there some setting which can be changed?
[08:21] <bazhang> todor right click on movie screen and choose subtitles does not work?
[08:21] <Dr_willis> todor,  when i use gmplayer, theres a menu item for 'show subtitles'
[08:21] <Adpad> bazhang: I can't find the Hardware drivers :( would it be in the KDE control center?
[08:21] <bazhang> thufir just go to software sources and disable cd as a source
[08:22] <artenius> [[thufir]]: you need to remove the CD repo from your repo list
[08:22] <Ibback> Dr_willis: Actually i had previously installed vmware and i try to fax out using window fax component but unfortunately it too did not detect my fax modem as like ubuntu.
[08:22] <todor> thanks
[08:22] <thelonecabbage> how come my networkmanager  (applet) (when right-clicked) has no VPN options?
[08:22] <artenius> [[thufir]]: if you're comfortable with the terminal, edit /etc/apt/sources.list and put a # before the CD line
[08:23] <spaceaviator> My gdmsetup cant find the theme files after I click add even when the file is right there!
[08:23] <bazhang> Adpad: more likely in the system admin section; forgot the kde name for that
[08:23] <senorpedro> hi folks
 indeed i did install firefox from the repos
[08:23] <[[thufir]]> artenius: yes, thanks, I was just looking at that as a solution.  seems odd to be requested for a disc, tho.
[08:23] <brianlight> Apad use Gome ;)
[08:23] <senorpedro> what is the difference between updatedb and trackerd? aren't both programs doing pretty much the same?
 im just wandering if my profile is all messed up
[08:23] <brianlight> Gnome
[08:23] <Ibback> Bye
[08:23] <bazhang> moDumass: and you removed the previous settings?
[08:24] <artenius> [[thufir]]: not if you installed from a disc though, right?
[08:24] <artenius> ;)
[08:24] <Adpad> SO my problems are probably related to KDE ?
[08:24] <bazhang> moDumass: aye, delete it
[08:24] <brianlight> No
 i didnt remove prev settings only because i dont know how
[08:24] <Slart> senorpedro: I think updatedb only searches filenames.. trackerd searches content of files.. and mail etc
[08:24] <bazhang> Adpad: no way; kde is fine
[08:24] <senorpedro> so what do i need updatedb for? because it runs every time i start my system
[08:25] <brianlight> you just need to install your Nvidia restricted drivers for your brand of ubuntu
[08:25] <todor> when I play movie with sub the sub is not read no font
[08:25] <bazhang> Adpad: dont listen to the gnome users ;] I'm on KDE and it rocks
 where?
[08:25] <Adpad> cool :)
[08:25] <brianlight> I was just stating my opinion about the gnome thing
[08:25] <bazhang> brianlight: as was I ;]
 like i uninstalled ff2.x and selected to install ff3.x, and now i have 3.x with all the same bookmarks and jaz as my 2.x
[08:26] <Adpad> hehhe
[08:26] <Adpad> brb, screen might crash again...
[08:26] <[[thufir]]> artenius: thanks, that looks to have fixed it.  but, I would hope that all packages get installed from the "internet" since those will be up to date.  the disc might be old, missing, etc.
[08:26] <bazhang> moDumass: check the proxy settings in firefox 3
[08:27] <moDumass> yeh im lookin into it as we speak
[08:27] <artenius> [[thufir]]: yes, it won't look for a CD anymore, just internet repos
 direct connection to the internet was selected
[08:28] <spaceaviator> My gdmsetup cant find the theme files after I click add even when the file is right there!
[08:28] <bazhang> moDumass: the only thing I can figure is the previous use of TOR; but since you removed it the speed should return to normal
 what else could be slowing down www access through firefox and konqueror but not opera
 yeh and tor would only slow stuff down when tor was on
[08:29] <bazhang> spaceaviator: what about drag and drop the tar.gz file?
[08:29] <spaceaviator> bazhang, that works
[08:29] <spaceaviator> but the add button doesn't
[08:29] <schwepps> how do i find out, from command line, what files a package installed?
[08:29] <cambazz> hello. is there no better player then amarok or banshee? I just want to play internet radio
[08:29] <spaceaviator> cambazz, streamtuner
[08:29] <bazhang> schwepps: the dependencies you mean? or something else
[08:29] <moDumass> cambaz, exaile
[08:30] <spaceaviator> bazhang, any ideas?
[08:30] <cambazz> hmm... let me try both
[08:30] <spaceaviator> cambazz, streamtuner uses xmms
[08:30] <bazhang> spaceaviator: um not really sure as I dont use gnome; but the drag and drop does work right? you can change themes successfully, correct?
[08:30] <kindofabuzz_> if i put a file in my NFS folder, is it actaully still on my computer or the server?
[08:31] <Eythan> cambazz> audacious
[08:31] <brianlight> Streamtuner uses what ever you tell it too
[08:31] <kindofabuzz_> if not, how can i "push" it?
[08:31] <spaceaviator> bazhang, yeah but I need to upload a remaster so I need everything to work
[08:31] <robokop> I have just installed ubuntu on my desktop pc, but now i'm not able to boot in windows anymore, i have set the correct menu entry in the /boot/grub/menu.lst, but it just hangs
[08:31] <schwepps> bazhang: no, like, if I installed, say tcpdump via apt-get, where is the tcpdump binary?
[08:31] <brianlight> you can choose your streaming audio player in Streamtuner
[08:32] <bazhang> schwepps: the apt cache archives?
[08:32] <Adpad> sorry, am back now
[08:32] <robokop> schwepps: apt-file show tcpdump
[08:33] <schwepps> robokop: thanks
[08:33] <Adpad> Can someone please talk to me about the Restricted Drivers manager in KDE?
[08:33] <Adpad> how do I get to it
[08:33] <schwepps> bazhang: so apt-cache?
[08:33] <bazhang> Adpad: it's there by default in gutsy; just need to search in the system admin menus for it
[08:33] <quax> robokop: old problem:  I suggest googling for having the grub-menu on a floppy-disk, then repair windows with the cd. Then you can fiddle it out without time-pressure
[08:34] <Adpad> ok I'm in System Settings
[08:34] <robokop> quax: no floppy drive in my system
[08:35] <quax> is it VISTA, or XP?
[08:35] <robokop> quax: XP
[08:35] <dabbill> I was just watching gkrellm cpu monitor, and it seems that my computer will only use 1 core at a time. its like if 1 core is at 89%, the other core wont go above 11%. but usually it will just run 1 or the other core at 100%.
[08:35] <brianlight> apad I would jsut do a sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[08:36] <warrendae> hi
[08:36] <warrendae> someone knows how to translate a gtk program in diff languages? (i'm programming a program)
[08:36] <Dr_willis> dabbill,  a lot of that depends on the apps running also. I see similer effect, and even under windows it seems i rarely max out both.
[08:36] <brianlight> of use the ubuntu restricted drivers manager to install Nvidia drivers
[08:36] <quax> XP is quite unfriendly and uncooperative with linux as regards boot and the mbr. I am not expert enough to talk you through. I suggest: rpeair the boot with windows cd for windows, and try repairing ubuntu thereafter...
[08:37] <brianlight> or^
[08:37] <dabbill> Dr_willis, what version of windows you running?
[08:37] <quax> (assuming xp is the OS you are working with until now)
[08:37] <[[thufir]]> the rjb package fails to install, it seems hung on the JAVA_HOME env variable:  http://www.pastebin.ca/955015  .  any suggestions with regards to JAVA_HOME?  I think I have it set correctly.
[08:37] <Dr_willis> dabbill,  Beasta  err Vista:)
[08:37] <robokop> quax: fixmbr works, but if i install grub afterwards it leaves me with linux only
[08:38] <brianlight> Apad the Ubuntu packages you need installed are linux-restricted-modules nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common
[08:38] <warrendae> someone knows how to translate a gtk program in diff languages? (i'm programming a program)
[08:39] <Max_demon2> hello
[08:39] <Adpad> bazhang: I don't have the ADVANCED tab in my system settings for some reason, could that be why I can't find the restricted drivers icons?
[08:39] <Max_demon2> i need help
[08:39] <dabbill> Dr_willis, thats weird, i always see my vista install maxing out both cores or balancing the load between the cores in vista.
[08:39] <bazhang> Adpad: this is gutsy correct?
[08:39] <dabbill> Dr_willis, like see them both running at 60%.
[08:39] <Max_demon2> i tried to install 8.04 via Wubi
[08:39] <Max_demon2> but when system restarts
[08:40] <Max_demon2> i see a wallpaper after loading
[08:40] <bazhang> #ubuntu+1 please Max_demon2
[08:40] <Max_demon2> and installation window
[08:40] <ToddEDM> anyone here use vmware?
[08:40] <Adpad> bazhang: Linux Mint (but it's based on 7.10 right?)
[08:40] <bazhang> ToddEDM: aye
[08:40] <UbunLin> Heh
[08:40] <UbunLin> Hardy room is dead
[08:41] <ToddEDM> i want to know if you can take files from the host , and get it to my windows guest
[08:41] <bazhang> Adpad: argh..Mint? that is not supported here; no wonder you are having problems
[08:41] <Adpad> oh :( sorry, I hadn't realised
[08:41] <artenius> Adpad: Mint charges money for support
[08:41] <Adpad> people recommended Mint to me as "the way to go" .. :(
[08:41] <bazhang> Adpad: back up and install ubuntu (the original!) and then come back ;]
[08:42] <bazhang> www.ubuntu.com Adpad ;]
[08:42] <Adpad> ok ;)
[08:42] <bazhang> or #linuxmint ;[
[08:43] <Adpad> pretty much no-one there
[08:43] <ToddEDM> bazhang:  can you get files from the host and put them onto the guest?
[08:43] <Adpad> and you guys have been so helpful
[08:43] <Adpad> bazhang: by changing to Ubuntu standard is there anything i'll be missing?
[08:43] <Adpad> is it harder to use?
[08:43] <brianlight> did I miss somthing Adpad your using mint?
[08:43] <dabbill> Dr_willis, there are no settings or any thing in Ubuntu to check for dual core CPU's?
[08:43] <J3KYLL> i need help setting up my monitor... i've tried researching everywhere!! i don't know how to fix this.. i have tried turning on the nvidia controller on my restricted drivers list and it says "...not enabled" i have an nvidia geforce6100 with a hpw2207 monitor with native resolution 1680x1050 ... please im getting frustraded and don't know what to do :(
[08:44] <bazhang> ToddEDM: you mean the host and guest os in vmware? I was spacing out there sorry ;]
[08:44] <tsukasa> hi guys, is there somewhere i can put a command that will be executed on system resume (from ram suspend) ?
[08:44] <ToddEDM> bazhang: , lol yeah the os's
[08:44] <bazhang> Adpad: yeah you'll be missing the total lack of support in Mint ;]
[08:44] <Adpad> brianlight - yes :/ I thought Mint was based entirely on Ubuntu and therefore 1 and the same
[08:44] <Adpad> lol bazhang ;) thanks for all your help
[08:44] <bazhang> Adpad: and we never sleep here ;]
[08:44] <Adpad> heheh
[08:45] <Adpad> okay, I will be back in a couple of hours
[08:45] <Adpad> pity, I got grub working and _everything_ ;)
[08:45] <artenius> Adpad: ubuntu is based on debian, and no, you'll probably find it a lot easier than Mint, especially when it comes to support.
[08:45] <bazhang> ToddEDM: sure you can do that; you mean shared folders like samba or just drag and drop?
[08:45] <Adpad> artenius: thanks
[08:45] <Dr_willis> dabbill,  if the kernel fines them it will use them. IF you are using the 386 kernel - i belive it will NOT use them. you need the -generic kernel
[08:46] <brianlight> Adpad go gnome dude ;) lulz
[08:46] <Adpad> lol
[08:46] <Dr_willis> dabbill,  at least thats how the  hardy release it working for me.  (which i am  beta testign right now)
[08:46] <tsukasa> anyone? looking for a place to drop some commands to be executed on system resume from ram suspend
[08:46] <bazhang> yeah try getting ubuntu support in #debian ;]
[08:46] <UbunLin> bazhang: You seem to be the most knowledgeable person here. Got time to field a question about Hardy?
[08:46] <ToddEDM> bazhang:  all i want to do is take some files i download(in linux) and get them onto windows (bec. they are windows only programs)
[08:46] <ToddEDM> its google earth pro
[08:46] <bazhang> UbunLin: wrong channel ;] and that would be Dr_willis
[08:46] <dabbill> Dr_willis, yea it sees the system as haveing 2 cores.
[08:46] <Adpad> bazhang: so it's mint's fault damnit!
[08:47] <UbunLin> bazhang: Yeah I've been asking for a bit in the other channel. No activity and so far no response on the forum. Quite annoying.
[08:47] <brianlight> UbunLin I'm currently on Hardy?
[08:47] <dabbill> Dr_willis, just tryin to make sure i am getting max performance out of my computer :)
[08:48] <Dr_willis> dabbill,  even when reencodeing videos.. i rarely seem to max out my 2 cpus.
[08:48] <Dr_willis> dabbill,  theres always other bottlenecks it seems.
[08:48] <Adpad> bazhang: if I get the Desktop install of Ubuntu, will it come with KDE or Gnome?
[08:48] <artenius> both
[08:48] <dabbill> Dr_willis, yea, just wish i could get my video card to work correctly now, so that i can game on this PC.
[08:48] <Adpad> kewl, so you choose?
[08:48] <artenius> go with gnome ;)
[08:48] <brianlight> Default is Gnome though
[08:49] <Gpalco> Hallo, People! Ubuntu is great! I have a question (maybe a silly one - you tell me) I read about a Microsoft Word vulnerability the other day, which can be used by hackers orviruses. It said it effects "applications which can open, edit Word documents are effected". Does it include Ubuntu + OpenOffice too ???
[08:49] <bazhang> Adpad: the gnome is ubuntu; you seem to like kde so that would be kubuntu; there is also xfce which is xubuntu; you can change once you have installed though so no worries ;]
[08:49] <artenius> Gpalco: windows viruses don't effect linux
[08:49] <Adpad> ok excellent
[08:50] <bazhang> Gpalco: no
[08:50] <J3KYLL> i need help setting up my monitor... i've tried researching everywhere!! i don't know how to fix this.. i have tried turning on the nvidia controller on my restricted drivers list and it says "...not enabled" i have an nvidia geforce6100 with a hpw2207 monitor with native resolution 1680x1050 ... please im getting frustraded and don't know what to do :(
[08:50] <Adpad> downloading the Ubuntu image..
[08:50] <Gpalco> artenius, but it is something about Word document type or something. if I got it correctly
[08:50] <bazhang> J3KYLL: could you pastebin your xorg.conf please?
[08:50] <Adpad> so you'll be able to help me change, right guys? :P
[08:51] <bazhang> Adpad: tis what we live for ;]
[08:51] <artenius> Gpalco: only in windows OS's
[08:51] <Adpad> :D legends
[08:51] <Adpad> I really hopet his sorts out my troubles
[08:51] <J3KYLL> bazhang: im really sorry, how do i do that?
[08:51] <Gpalco> artenius, GOOD! Thank you
[08:51] <Adpad> I've battled for 3 days, didn't realise that it was Mint because I just assumed it was inherrantly Ubuntu!
[08:51] <tsukasa> anyone? looking for a place to drop some commands to be executed on system resume from ram suspend
[08:51] <Dr_willis> Adpad,  i use the Linux Mint stuff for ages with very few problems. :)
[08:51] <Gpalco> I meen, Good for mt
[08:51] <Adpad> Noooooo
[08:51] <Adpad> :/
[08:52] <bazhang> J3KYLL: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; then cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit and post the url it gives you here
[08:52] <J3KYLL> bazhang: i know what the xorg.conf is but whats pastebin?
[08:52] <Dr_willis> Adpad,  of course i dident see a lot that mint added that i couldent setup manually myself..
[08:52] <J3KYLL> ohh okay hold on
[08:52] <pedroc_> where can i find info about 8.04 ubuntu server edition like php, mysql version?
[08:52] <artenius> !pastebin | J3KYLL
[08:52] <ubotu> J3KYLL: pastebin is a service to post multiple-lined texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic)
[08:52] <brianlight> if your downloading a gusty image all you need to do is System---->Administration------>>Hardware Drivers
[08:53] <Adpad> Dr_willis: so you recommend too that I go through the trouble to change to Ubuntu
[08:53] <brianlight> that brings up the ubuntu restricted drivers manager
[08:53] <bazhang> pedroc_: you can message the bot: /msg ubotu info php hardy and that will give you pm from the bot
[08:53] <Dr_willis> Adpad,  learn the linux fundamentals and it proberly wont matter.. :) of course the next release of ubuntu is due out soon. Upgrading to it from a mint install will be..iffy...
[08:54] <Adpad> (because Mint is all installed but evidently giving me lots of trouble)
[08:54] <bazhang> haha
[08:54] <Adpad> yea
[08:54] <bazhang> no direct upgrade from Mint to Hardy?
[08:54] <Dr_willis> Adpad,  wahat troubles? you may have identical problems with ubuntu.
[08:54] <Adpad> Dr_willis: have been unable to get video drivers working for almost 3 days now!
[08:54] <Dr_willis> bazhang,  i never upgrade anyway.. but that might be pushing it a bit.. :)
[08:54] <bazhang> Dr_willis: haha
[08:55] <Dr_willis> Adpad,  I imagine  its depending on your card and video driver versions.. you may have identical issues with ubuntu
[08:55] <Dr_willis> Adpad,  you 'might' want to check out hardy if you are going to do a reinstall.
[08:55] <J3KYLL> bazhang: i did apt-get install pastebinit and got this "Reading package lists... Done
[08:55] <J3KYLL> Building dependency tree
[08:55] <J3KYLL> Reading state information... Done
[08:55] <J3KYLL> E: Couldn't find package pastebinit"
[08:55] <kamil> I have a problem to configure printer behind print server in Ubuntu - it works with Windows client
[08:55] <Adpad> but I can't get to the Restricted Drivers area in Mint
[08:55] <myky71> ciao
[08:55] <icesword> !info pastebinit
[08:55] <ubotu> pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.8.2-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 7 kB, installed size 84 kB
[08:55] <myky71> hello
[08:56] <brianlight> There may not be one
[08:56] <Adpad> Dr_willis: I can't get to the Restricted Drivers area in Mint
[08:56] <Adpad> and that's apparently what I need to help sort out this issue
[08:56] <spaceaviator> we can have the same kernel as hardy if I normally update gutsy?
[08:58] <brianlight> I'm looking at Linux Mint website and it looks like the recomended way to install Nvidia drivers is ENVY
[08:59] <TopRamen>  hey guys, I'm having a hard time getting vrdp working with virtualbox on my Ubuntu 7.10 host
[08:59] <bazhang> J3KYLL: did you sudo with that apt-get?
[08:59] <TopRamen> when I try to rdesktop in, it looks like it connected successfully, opens a window, and then just closes
[08:59] <pedroc_>  /msg ubotu info php hardy
[08:59] <Adpad> brianlight: thanks
[08:59] <TopRamen> I'm using external authentication
[08:59] <J3KYLL> yeah
[08:59] <TopRamen> is there anything special that I need to do in pam.d or pam.conf under Ubuntu to get this working?
[09:00] <J3KYLL> bazhang: i did the exact command you gave me
[09:00] <bazhang> J3KYLL: this is gutsy?
[09:00] <J3KYLL> bazhang: 7.10 "gutsy"
[09:00] <Dr_willis> Adpad,  install/run the restricted-manager tool perhaps? i havent used mint in ages...
[09:01] <bazhang> J3KYLL: open up a terminal and type apt-cache search pastebinit
[09:01] <Dr_willis> Adpad,  envy has its own set of 'issues' to watch out for also  :)
[09:01] <bazhang> Adpad: something like mintconfig
[09:01] <J3KYLL> bazhang: that returned nothing
[09:02] <bazhang> see Adpad best to just get gutsy as we know that well here ;]
[09:02] <Adpad> yea
[09:02] <Adpad> for sure
[09:02] <atomic__> hello everybody, i am trying to accomplish this in the sudoers file...i want to use "runaspw" to specify a user whose password should be used with sudo (every escalation of privilege), but i am not sure about the syntax of the sudoers file, i've already screwed up the sudoers file once, had to fix it with a livecd, anyone with similar experience??
[09:03] <bazhang> J3KYLL: then you need to enable the universe repos (first four should do) in software sources then hit refresh or sudo apt-get update and then search again
[09:04] <J3KYLL> bazhang: im really sorry im a little slow but what is "enable the universe repos"?
[09:04] <J3KYLL> bazhang: nvmd, silly me lol found it hold on
[09:04] <bazhang> pedroc_: that should be php5 btw, and no space before the /msg
[09:05] <bazhang> ubotu thanks
[09:06] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[09:06] <bazhang> ;]
[09:06] <Adpad> thanks for all the help guys!
[09:06] <bazhang> see you soon Adpad
[09:06] <Adpad> ciao bazhang, thanks again :)
[09:06] <bazhang> ;]
[09:07] <bazhang> J3KYLL: you got it now? did you update your sources first and then try installing again?

Bought a "multibutton" mouse I'm trying to get to work yesterday but I have one button I can't get to work. I'm thinking hardware failure but would like to confirm it. Is it possible via xev ?

[09:24] <bazhang> timgws: not here please
[09:24] <destined> modumas: have you tried increasing your FF cache?
[09:24] <destined> If that cache is low, it will do that same problem you described
[09:25] <bazhang> moDumass: that sounds like a good idea
[09:25] <sacamano> hi, is there a way to close a program after a certain amount of time? like sudo shutdown -h 1200
[09:25] <sacamano> only for a program
[09:25] <NIKA> ClUE
[09:25] <sacamano> like Mplayer
[09:25] <destined> sac: killall?
[09:25] <Bejron> Looked at "man killall" ?
[09:25] <sacamano> does that work for a specific program?
[09:25] <Dr_willis> sacamano,  get the pid.. make a script with  a delay and the kill command? :)
[09:25] <timgws> sacamano: sleep 5; killall mplayer
[09:25] <sacamano> no, i didnt
[09:26] <sacamano> ty
[09:26] <sacamano> ill check it out
[09:26] <Dr_willis> sounds a little extreme
[09:26] <timgws> too extreme? it's two damn commands :P
[09:26] <moDumass> im in the process of learning how to increase my cache
[09:26] <Dr_willis> why does one keed to kill the player after a set time?
[09:26] <NIKA> \
[09:26] <Dr_willis> we going to sleep watching anime again?
[09:27] <J3KYLL> bazhang: some downloads are "failed" most are "translation-en_us" what does this mean?
 FF Edit -> Prefs. Once that comes up, click on advanced, then network
[09:28] <destined> To check your Firefox cache size
[09:28] <destined> Mine is set to 50 megs.
[09:28] <bazhang> J3KYLL: you got other stuff in your repos then ubuntu ones?

[09:29] <J3KYLL> bazhang: no, looks like just ubuntu gutsy if i know what your talkin about
[09:30] <bazhang> J3KYLL: ah okay just wanted to be sure ;]
[09:30] <lesshaste> my normal dmesg says " Booting paravirtualized kernel on bare hardware"

[09:33] <destined> ubuntu: search for your hardware providers website via google.
[09:33] <tdoggette> How do I install .PCF fonts?
[09:33] <bazhang> ubuntu: is there a router betwixt it and the computer; or is this a direct connection
[09:34] <destined> There should be a heck of a lot of information.
[09:34] <bazhang> nah, google is not needed ;]
[09:34] <J3KYLL> bazhang: lol its goin a little faster (i switched it to the us server) i get stupid at 2 in the morning
[09:34] <nomopofomo> is anyone here kind enough to tell me where the configuration files for wu-ftpd are?
[09:34] <ubuntu> I have a USB ADSL MODEM. I have installed the appropriate firmware drivers for it

[09:35] <stiffler> is totem using gstreamer ?
[09:35] <saminthemiddle> hello peeps
[09:35] <bazhang> ubuntu: okay, and did you connect it to your computer?
[09:35] <[[thufir]]> if I install some stuff with ruby gems, then can I just uninstall ruby?  or does that create a problem?
[09:35] <swankier> where do cores get dumped?
[09:35] <saminthemiddle> stiffler, totem uses gstreamer unless you install totem-xine
[09:35] <ubuntu> yes
[09:35] <ubuntu> the LEDs seems ti be synchronized
[09:35] <ubuntu>  the LEDs seems to be synchronized
[09:35] <tsai_> anybody have lucky getting the sony eyetoy webcam working in ubuntu 7.10?
[09:35] <saminthemiddle> stiffler, which, by the way, is a good idea because gstreamer seems to play DVDs better
[09:36] <bazhang> ubuntu: and no need for the double entries ;]
[09:36] <stiffler> saminthemiddle, I have standard totem for ubuntu-desktop package, this totem using gstreamer yep?
[09:36] <ubuntu> :D
[09:36] <saminthemiddle> stiffler, unless you went out of your way to change it, yes :-)
[09:36] <stiffler> saminthemiddle, I wanna add amrnb plugins to play amr files by totem
[09:36] <ubuntu> it's not a double entry, i corrected my spelling
[09:36] <saminthemiddle> stiffler, I don't know what they are but let me look in apt for a package that might do that, one moment plz
[09:36] <ubuntu> that's all
[09:37] <bazhang> ubuntu: is this a static or a dnyamic connection?
[09:37] <ubuntu> dynamic
[09:37] <nomopofomo> why don't i see wu-ftpd in my list of processes in system monitor?
[09:37] <bazhang> ubuntu: can you open a terminal and type ifconfig
[09:37] <xameleon> hello
[09:38] <[[thufir]]> how do you know which version of ubuntu you have installed?  /etc/ubuntu-release?
[09:38] <bazhang> ubuntu: this is a wired connect right? with ethernet cable?
[09:38] <ubuntu> well ,...now i'm in Windows.. my PC has a dual boot system..but i pasted the lspci results
[09:38] <stiffler> saminthemiddle, I'm looking for amr plugins in repository ;/
[09:38] <ubuntu> goto this link:
[09:38] <bazhang> thufir lsb_release -a
[09:38] <stiffler> but I can't find it
[09:38] <ubuntu> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/60834/
[09:39] <Dr_willis> nomopofomo, Some servers like that only spawn processes as needed
[09:39] <ubuntu> it may be helpful i think
[09:39] <nomopofomo> ahhhhhhhhhh, well then, would you happen to know where the config file is by any chance?
[09:39] <Everheart> Hi guys, is there anybody here who has experience with kernel panics after HDD problems?
[09:39] <sat7> hey guys, I hope someone can give me any help about CEDEGA 6.0. I know it's not a special ubuntu problem but I didn't find any help on the cedega IRC channel
[09:39] <bazhang> ubuntu does ifconfig show your ethernet card?
[09:39] <ubuntu> bazhang:Yes it's a wired connection
[09:40] <Dr_willis> sat7,  cedega has some extensive forums last i tried it..  the #wine channels maybe able to help some also.
[09:40] <mengzihan> why my virtualbox xp
[09:40] <saminthemiddle> stiffler, well, google brings rumors of a plug-in called gstamrnbenc that can do AMR files, but I can't find it in the repos
[09:40] <ubuntu> well, i can't remember
[09:40] <sat7> Yea, but I don't want ask in the forums. And I didn't find any help in the faqs
[09:40] <ubuntu> did u go to the link i gave
[09:40] <ubuntu> ?
[09:40] <mengzihan> why my virtualbox's windows xp can not see the ubuntu'samba
[09:41] <sat7> because the "continue" and "cancel" buttons don't exist
[09:41] <crovax> hi
[09:41] <bazhang> ubuntu you are not on that right now and you  want to configure it?
[09:41] <ubuntu> yes]
[09:41] <sat7> OMFG
[09:41] <Dr_willis> sat7,  did you search the forums for others with similer problems?    They dont exist where?
[09:41] <crovax> is there annybody who emulate windows from a physical partition?
[09:41] <jeremyreid> heya guys
[09:42] <ubuntu> i'll be back with ifconfig...just give me 10 minutes
[09:42] <bazhang> ubuntu well that will be difficult as you cannot do what people here suggest
[09:42] <Dr_willis> crovax,  vmware and virtualox can run windows from a real install on a hd.. but its not advised.
[09:42] <jeremyreid> how do I get world of warcraft to work on ubuntu without crashing (I've tryed wine and crossover, may have done it wrong)
[09:42] <Dr_willis> crovax,  wine can also run apps from a windows install.. (again not adviseable)
[09:42] <saminthemiddle> stiffler, where can I download an AMR file, maybe it will work on my computer?
[09:43] <Dr_willis> !appdb | jeremyreid    Check there.
[09:43] <ubotu> jeremyreid    Check there.: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[09:43] <stiffler> saminthemiddle, what distro do you have ?
[09:43] <saminthemiddle> stiffler, ubuntu, of course
[09:43] <bazhang> ubuntu and waiting 10 minutes between reboots from windows will tax even the most patient helpers here
[09:43] <saminthemiddle> stiffler, this IS #ubuntu
[09:43] <jeremyreid> k ty
[09:43] <tarelerulz> Is there a player that reads Matroska's tag system. I know a lot play the container format ,but I want to know if they support its tagging system
[09:43] <stiffler> saminthemiddle, well, I have ubuntu too
[09:44] <stiffler> maybe on hardy will be plugins for gst to play amr files ;)
[09:44] <saminthemiddle> stiffler, if you direct me to a place where I can download a file to test I can tell you if it works on my computer
[09:44] <bazhang> Ubuntu you still there? arg he left
[09:44] <saminthemiddle> stiffler, and I know what I did to my computer
[09:44] <jeremyreid> I have wow installed under wine but it opens up the launcher then the launcher closes what do I do?
[09:45] <Finnish> I try to run linux mint, but it freezes in "running local boot scripts (etc/rc.local"?
[09:45] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid,  try launching it from the terminal, so you can look for error messages.
[09:45] <bazhang> Finnish: mint? why not get the real deal? www.ubuntu.com
[09:45] <jeremyreid> ok how do I go about doing that (sorry im new to linux)
[09:45] <Dr_willis> Finnish,  its proberly freezing right after that.  since by default that script does nothing.
[09:46] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid,  wine .wine/somepath/to/where/the/executalbe/is/wow.exe
[09:46] <sat7> help
[09:46] <stiffler> saminthemiddle, do you have a mobile which can record videos ?

[09:46] <Finnish> Is there a way to get through this?
[09:46] <saminthemiddle> stiffler, nope, I have a mobile that can dial phone numbers!
[09:46] <crovax> so wine don't emulate it
[09:46] <bazhang> Finnish: install ubuntu and we can help ;]
[09:47] <Finnish> bazhang: Hehe
[09:47] <crovax> and I prefer be able to use it from my tru windows
[09:47] <crovax> =_=
[09:47] <bazhang> or go hear crickets at #linuxmint
[09:47] <crovax> linuxmint ,-)
[09:47] <Finnish> Ok, I'll load 8.04 Ubuntu
[09:48] <crovax> I'm allready on it
[09:48] <Dr_willis> Finnish,  hit enter a few times - it mayjust be going to a terminal login:
[09:48] <crovax> ave you heard about evolution of ubuntu parallel desktop project?
[09:48] <jeremyreid> it wont work in the terminal
[09:48] <jeremyreid> it says no such directory
[09:48] <bazhang> crovax: there is a trial yes
[09:48] <[[thufir]]> when I go to java.com it says that java isn't installed, but it is actually installed.  what's wrong with it?
[09:48] <MaximNIN> hello all
[09:48] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid,  cd to .wine/ and look and see where the wow is installed to.. give the right path to the executable.
[09:49] <jeremyreid> i did
[09:49] <crovax> it seems to not be in my repositories
[09:49] <jeremyreid> but not cd
[09:49] <msingh> whats the best program for turning a dvd into a compressed audio/video file?
[09:49] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid,  time to learn some shell basics. :)  you MUST give the right path.
[09:49] <jeremyreid> ye i no
[09:49] <stefg> !dvd | msingh
[09:49] <ubotu> msingh: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[09:49] <jeremyreid> I opened up the virtual drive and saw the path
[09:49] <bazhang> msingh: for ripping you mean?
[09:50] <msingh> bazhang, not just ripping, compressing it as well
[09:50] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid,  its pboerbly best to actually cd to where the executable is. so you dont need to give a full path also. saves hassles. with spaces in the path
[09:50] <tarelerulz>  msingh, k9copy is pretty good . In fact I use it and I know it works
[09:50] <Dr_willis> cd cd .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/WorldOfWarcraft (or whatever its called)
[09:50] <Dr_willis> oops. one to many cds
[09:50] <jeremyreid> ohhh so i should'nt have spaces
[09:50]  * msingh apt-gets
[09:51] <msingh> tarelerulz, does it let you compress it as well?
[09:51] <wildschwein> can anyone advise how i can make my download speed faster on ktorrent? i'm using ubuntu dapper
[09:51] <tarelerulz> Yes, You can make .avi contrainers or you movie you copy . I have done that .
[09:51] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid,  this is when the TAB completion comes in handy. And yes Spaces can casue problems
[09:51] <msingh> tarelerulz, i dont mean to copy a dvd, but actually store a divx or whatever cop
[09:52] <MaximNIN> I just got Ubuntu 7.10 a week ago, have managed to get compiz fusion and video/sound working properly. This is my first time to use linux, where can I find a nice beginner guide to learn the terminal?
[09:52] <jeremyreid> could you just give me a script if i give u the path?
[09:52] <bakom> hello, I have a command question, how can I remove the resulted files of an "find" command?
[09:52] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid,  just cd to the proper place.. its not that hard..  cd '.wine/the pat/with spaces'
[09:52] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid,  note theuse of the ' quote
[09:52] <jeremyreid> i no but it says error
[09:52] <jeremyreid> ohhh u need quotes do ya
[09:52] <wildschwein> how do i forward ports?
[09:53] <tarelerulz> msingh:  I meant you can turn a dvd into an .avi file .  You can make an iso of the movie to which can speed up making an .avi
[09:53] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid,  or slashes like i showed earlier   cd .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/whatever\ spaces\ need\ a\ slash
[09:53] <bazhang> www.portforward.com wildschwein
[09:53] <jeremyreid> ok nothings come up now
[09:54] <jeremyreid> not even my name
[09:54] <wildschwein> i've looked there but it all reads like gibberish bazhang
[09:54] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid. do a ls and pwd and see where you are at. You need 2 quotes...
[09:54] <J3KYLL> bazhang: its ALLL good friend :)
[09:54] <jeremyreid> lol cant i just try using that cedegra thing
[09:54] <saminthemiddle> stiffler, hey, are you still breathing?
[09:54] <jeremyreid> thats ment to work
[09:55] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid,  do whatever you want.. but if you want to see some error messages id say use the shell.. i dont use cedega. so cant help with it.
[09:55] <msingh> tarelerulz, awesome. thanks!
[09:55] <jeremyreid> ok u tryed crossover?
[09:55] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid,  and the wow game is one of the most played games under wine/cedega - its got to have 10000's of websites/threads/guides out there.
[09:55] <J3KYLL> bazhang : http://paste.stgraber.org/1923
[09:55] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid,   i just use 'wine'
[09:55] <jeremyreid> ok
[09:55] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid,  you dont need cedega or crosover to play wow
[09:55] <jeremyreid> well give me the thing u use to open it
[09:56] <jeremyreid> cos im sure its the same
[09:56] <wildschwein> what's the best bittorrent client for ubuntu??
[09:56] <Dr_willis> i would cd to where the wow executable is at, and  use     wine whatevertheheckitscalled.exe
[09:56] <jeremyreid> aint bittorrent illegal
[09:56] <wildschwein> (most user friendly especially, for a beginner)
[09:56] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid,  no really. :)
[09:56] <jeremyreid> ok
[09:56] <jeremyreid> k
[09:56] <Starnestommy> jeremyreid: no, but some of the stuff distributed with it is
[09:56] <jeremyreid> k
[09:56] <bazhang> J3KYLL: you need to install some drivers for that it seems; have you checked the restricted drivers manager
[09:56] <unop_> !best | wildschwein
[09:56] <ubotu> wildschwein: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[09:57] <thisdyu> hey guys, just wondering if there is a better wireless networking thing i could use the current one dosent pick up networks if i move my laptop
[09:57] <thisdyu> err program
[09:57] <wildschwein> hh
[09:57] <wildschwein> im not trying to get a poll
[09:57] <bazhang> wildschwein: in dapper? not sure there
[09:57] <J3KYLL> bazhang: checking it right now :)
[09:57] <wildschwein> yep in dapper
[09:58] <bazhang> wildschwein: apart from errors in clients, torrent speeds etc is not really a #ubuntu topic
[09:58] <unop_> wildschwein, i think dapper already has bittorrent installed
[09:58] <ubuntu> hello?
[09:58] <jeremyreid> i keep getting this m8
[09:58] <jeremyreid> jeremy@jeremy-laptop:~$ cd /home/jeremy/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft

[09:58] <thisdyu> ? ya know the little icon that turns up in the left hand of ur scrn
[09:58] <jeremyreid> wine: cannot find '/home/jeremy/.wine/drive_c/Program'
[09:59] <stefg> wildschwein: consider to go for hardy (when it's released). There's transmission installed by default, which might be what you want
[09:59] <ubuntu> i ran ifconfig
[09:59] <ubuntu> it shows my ethernet card
[09:59] <wildschwein> stefg do you have a link for the program you mean?
[09:59] <jeremyreid> helo??
[09:59] <ubuntu> and a device called lo
[09:59] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid,  you totally ignored the 'cd to the dir' part....
[09:59] <ubuntu> "lo"
[09:59] <foldart> jeremyreid: you\ need\ to\ escape\ the\ spaces\ with\ the\ \\ character
[09:59] <unop_> jeremyreid, you need to do this -- cd "/path/to/file with spaces"
[10:00] <unop_> foldart, sheesh
[10:00] <jeremyreid> ok ok
[10:00] <Dr_willis> jeremyreid,  cd '/home/jeremy/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft'
[10:00] <Dr_willis> logical eh?
[10:00] <bazhang> ubuntu but what about the next command? do you need to reboot into ubuntu to do that?
[10:00] <foldart> unop_: teach by example ;)
[10:00] <unop_> foldart, thats a bad example, sorry :)
[10:00] <ubuntu> next commmand?.
[10:00] <foldart> hehe
[10:00] <thisdyu> neone have ne idea why my laptop dosent pick up new wireless network even if i know its there?
[10:00] <thisdyu> even after iv moved into range
[10:01] <Lamego> wildschwein, http://www.getdeb.net/app/Transmission
[10:01] <J3KYLL> bazhang: i went to restricted drivers and now its downloading a package for my card :-) after i change the screen settings is this the last of my worries!!?? :-D
[10:01] <jeremyreid> ok it worked but wow got an error as soon as i opened
[10:01] <unop_> jeremyreid, use the !pastebin to post the error in
[10:01] <jeremyreid> ok
[10:01] <stefg> wildschwein: google for 'transmission bittorrent' if you want info about the program. However software is installed differently in Linux/Ubuntu, so no 'download, click setup.exe'
[10:01] <wildschwein> ah. i cant get hardy. not a good enough pc for it
[10:01] <ubuntu> what is the next command u said? Anyway i'll need another reboot to do that..
[10:01] <bazhang> J3KYLL: well then will likely need to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg followed by a reboot
[10:01] <stefg> wildschwein: what do you have?
[10:01] <anto> Heya guys, can someone help me setup dual screen desktops?
[10:02] <jeremyreid> unop_, its a wow error, it dnt say anythin in terminal should i still paste terminal one?
[10:02] <bazhang> J3KYLL: then we can edit your xorg.conf if that does not do it

[10:05] <s3phiroth> what's the best way of installing firefox 3 on gutsy ? are there any packages or should i go with the mozilla.com installer ?
[10:05] <thisdyu> cmon you cant tell me im the only one ever to expect ubuntu to be able to detect new wireless networks without having to restart the machine?? youve got to be kidding me
[10:06] <unop> s3phiroth, firefox is a package on gutsy
[10:06] <s3phiroth> unop: firefox 3
[10:06] <Starnestommy> thisdyu: are you sure that the network is broadcasting an essid?
[10:06] <unop> s3phiroth, my bad, you need the mozilla tarball
[10:06] <s3phiroth> oh
[10:06] <s3phiroth> wait
[10:07] <artenius> thisdyu: you shouldn't ever have to restart
[10:07] <s3phiroth> looks like there is an official package
[10:07] <Gpalco> People, is there a way to assign a symbol to a combination of keys on keyboard ? If that is the right way to define it... For axample: (CTRL + ") to result in (') so I woildn't have change keyboard layout all the time
[10:07] <saminthemiddle> hey, do any of you people know how to prevent gnome power manager (I think that's the culprit) from ever changing my screen brightness? I keep tweaking my brightness settings and it keeps tweaking them back every few minutes! it's maddening
[10:07] <s3phiroth> i just assumed there wasn't any
[10:07] <jeremyreid> i put it in pastebin now what???
[10:08] <warrendae> hi
[10:08] <thisdyu> 100percent sure it is broadcasting an essid ill have say 3 networks and ill move my laptop into range of two more but only kwifimanager will actually pick them up but the standard wireless detector has no refresh
[10:08] <warrendae> is there any gtk+ developer i ould ask a programming question?

[10:08] <thisdyu> i dont like that idea
[10:08] <bazhang> success dito
[10:08] <warrendae> is there any gtk+ developer i ould ask a programming question?
[10:09] <J3KYLL> bazhang : finnished installing new nvidia drivers.. its asking for a reboot. should i try this before the command you gave me?
[10:09] <Starnestommy> thisdyu: does it show up when you do 'sudo iwlist scan'?
[10:09] <unop> warrendae, ask
[10:09] <bazhang> J3KYLL: reboot first ;]
[10:09] <warrendae> can you give me an example of this function : 	gtk_show_about_dialog
[10:09] <unop> Gpalco, this might help you - http://images.google.co.uk/images?complete=1&hl=en&q=gnome+character+map&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi
[10:09] <warrendae> i can't find the good arguments :(
[10:09] <bazhang> jeremyreid: that is getting out of control; please dont flood the channel anymore
[10:10] <J3KYLL> bazhang : thanks alot , brb after reboot :) (cross your fingers!)
[10:10] <warrendae> unop : are you a gtk+ dev?
[10:10] <unop> warrendae, have you tried google code search?  http://www.google.com/codesearch?q=gtk_show_about_dialog&hl=en&btnG=Search+Code
[10:10] <thisdyu> yep no scan results
[10:10] <unop> warrendae, i don't use C tho, i use perl
[10:10] <thisdyu> and i know for a fact there are at least 5 networks
[10:11] <warrendae> thanks didn't know this google code engine ;)
[10:11] <warrendae> thank
[10:11] <warrendae> thanks*
[10:11] <thisdyu> but what really botheres me is once you're connected to a network there is no disconnect function
[10:11] <jeremyreid>  96
[10:11] <jeremyreid>  97
[10:11] <jeremyreid>  98
[10:11] <thisdyu> or refresh to check what other networks may have become available
[10:12] <thisdyu> so is there software that will i mean god damnit even windows has a disconnect option! AND A REFRESH ONE!
[10:12] <bazhang> language thisdyu
[10:12] <stefg> thisdyu: don't get angry about your own ignorance :-)
[10:13] <thisdyu> swt mate
[10:13] <bazhang> now now stefg
[10:13] <thisdyu> i find it slightly annoying that you beleave its my ignorance that made certain developers not include such a basic function
[10:13] <thisdyu> but thats upto you
[10:14] <ompaul> thisdyu, how about this - you fund someone to write it?
[10:14] <unop> thisdyu, here's your disconnect option (see enabled) http://www.michaellarabel.com/external/feisty-network1.jpg
[10:14] <stefg> thisdyu: err.... you just can't see it
[10:14] <thisdyu> ok and refresh
[10:14] <thisdyu> ok so let me get this straight
[10:14] <bazhang> thisdyu: linux is not windows; there are certain new ways you need to learn
[10:14] <unop> thisdyu, refresh is (disable, then enable)
[10:15] <thisdyu> iv gotta disable my wlan to disconnect from a network
[10:15] <unop> thisdyu, right
[10:15] <thisdyu> mate ive worked with unix since before you were born
[10:15] <Ayabara> how can I check what processes that are using my sound device?
[10:15] <bazhang> thisdyu: well using caps and swearing will get you little help in these parts
[10:15] <Seveas> Ayabara, fuser /dev/dsp
[10:15] <unop> Ayabara, lsof | grep -i /dev/dsp

Now machine 2 boots, loads ubuntu-installer/i386/linux and initrd.gz and starts the install process. But how can I make the contents of the install available for the installer? NFS? Set up a repo? Any idea?

[10:38] <GCtoday> I am getting error messages when I try to connect to a server in irssi. These are "Erroneous Nickname" etc. What does that mean?
[10:38] <Adpad> bazhang: So now, it's defaulted to Gnome (I don't mind at the moment since I'm fairly new).. Was mainly using KDE because of Amarok initially.  I tried to run the Restricted Driver Manager, but I ended up getting the black screen again
[10:38] <GCtoday> I have changed my nick several times
[10:38] <Seveas> GCtoday, it means you try to use an incorrect nickname
[10:38] <GCtoday> Okay
[10:38] <ubuntu> It shows "Basic Registers of Mii Phy xxxxx xxxxx xxxxx (some nos.)"
[10:39] <Seveas> GCtoday, nicknames can only contain letters, numbers and a few other characters
[10:39] <bazhang> Adpad: you can use amarok with gnome; will install some kde stuff is all
[10:39] <Adpad> cool ;)
[10:39] <Seveas> ubuntu, did it say 'YOu have link beat' or 'No link'?

[10:41] <GCtoday> Does no identity response have anything to do with my troubles?  (Changed the nick and received the same response)
[10:41] <Adpad> Guys, as soon as I activate the NVIDIA driver in the restricted drivers manager and reboot, I get no image and my monitor turns off
[10:41] <ubuntu> Can i use pppoa instead of pppoe?
[10:41] <Adpad> GeForce 6600GT
[10:42] <stefg> Adpad: so you have a CRT ? the refresh rate might be wrong, so the Monitor does not sync
[10:42] <erUSUL> ubuntu: usually isp only support one of the two. It is not your decision to make

[10:45] <Adpad> thanks, I will go through that
[10:45] <GCtoday> I can change the nick to anything at all and get the same response, why is this happening?
[10:45] <ubuntu> does that mean i have no way of getting connected to the internet?
[10:45] <erUSUL> swankier: you are worried becouse a exploit does not work on your system?
[10:46] <akaineko> how to install things in ubuntu ?
[10:46] <swankier> erUSUL... it's not an exploit, it's an example shellcode.  No, I'm not upset about it.  I'm curious what's different in ubuntu that keeps it from working
[10:46] <algyz> akaineko:  easy, sudo apt-get "package name"
[10:46] <erUSUL> !software | akaineko

[10:47] <bazhang> akaineko: several methods; the add/remove synaptic, or the command line
[10:47] <algyz> Any help here about kde?
[10:47] <erUSUL> ubuntu: use pppoe if that's what you use i windows
[10:47] <algyz> well, I think it's not because kde, something wrong with users maybe
[10:47] <unop_> algyz, sudo apt-get "package name"  wouldnt work -- your're missing the install keyword :)
[10:47] <vykmorod> I ASKED !!!!, how can I completely disable updates on FaistyFawn ????
[10:48] <algyz> Oops, made mistake :)
[10:48] <erUSUL> vykmorod: why would you want to do that?
[10:48] <akaineko> i downloaded a *.tar.bz2, opened it with a archiver. there are bunch of files in there... so what to do next ? how to run them ?
[10:48] <vykmorod> If no1 tells me, I'll just delete that danged waste of time virtual machine, and continue using windows only
[10:48] <bazhang> akaineko: what package?
[10:48] <swankier> vykmorod... see ya.
[10:49] <ubuntu> how can i use pppoe eventhough the pppoeconf utility does not recognize my ethernet card
[10:49] <ubuntu> ??
[10:49] <bazhang> vykmorod: for windows see ##windows
[10:49] <erUSUL> akaineko: that's source code install things with synaptic or Aplications>Add eomove if possible
[10:49] <saminthemiddle> hey, how do I tell what is causing hard drive activity?
[10:49] <vykmorod> well, just wonder who put update for remote NT/win2k desktop, lol

[10:49] <Chuc1> hi
[10:50] <erUSUL> vykmorod: if it is a waste of time you should delete it
[10:50] <inqui> i am useing default kernel how do i findout its config?
[10:50] <unop_> akaineko, that differs from package to package -- read the README or INSTALL files in there
[10:50] <vykmorod> dw, I can handle widows, even with python's PyWin32, an I also don't update, I can protect myself on my own

[10:51] <Gigamo_> exit
[10:51] <unop_> swankier, please ask that question in a hacking channel , #hacking or similar
[10:51] <erUSUL> vykmorod: just decline the offered updates and if the little orange icon bothers you disable update-manager
[10:52] <swankier> unop_... like where?
[10:52] <Lamego> swankier, your answer is a bit off topic, anyway you need to understand what shell is beeing called, there is a shell path on that hexa
[10:52] <unop_> swankier, chances are the bug that that exploits has been fixed and the code no longer works
[10:52] <user-land> Hello, is the 64bit version of 8.04 recommended ?
[10:52] <unop_> swankier, /join #hacking
[10:52] <erUSUL> newbie219: why not? it uses the linux kernel and mostly GNU userland

[10:54] <sinbox> is it safe?
[10:54] <bazhang> user-land: no real advantages unless you have a huge amount of ram or hate youtube
[10:54] <Vertelemming> Hardy is secretly a conspiracy to brainwash everyone who installs it using subliminal signals programmed into Compiz-Fusion. It will take over the world.
