[03:53] <RedEyess> Hi,
[03:54] <RedEyess> If you install Ubuntu can you just upgrade it to the next version when it comes out.
[03:54] <Anubis> SlyFerret would a screenshot error help you?
[03:54] <RedEyess> by changing the apt-source
[03:54] <SlyFerret> anubis: hmm... I'm not seeing anything that says that your card isn't supported
[03:54] <bimberi> RedEyess: yes
[03:54] <RedEyess> cool
[03:54] <RedEyess> I am using Debian
[03:54] <SlyFerret> anubis: probably not
[03:54] <Anubis> k
[03:54] <RedEyess> and just wondered that
[03:54] <techfreak> any idea how i can change my screen resolution ?
[03:54] <RedEyess> ..
[03:55] <SlyFerret> anubis: in order to fix it though, you'll probably have to do a little tweaking from the command line if the installer didn't detect your card OK
[03:55] <bimberi> RedEyess: ubuntu uses the same packaging tools (dpkg/apt)
[03:55] <bimberi> !tell techfreak about fixres
[03:55] <RedEyess> I know
[03:55] <RedEyess> I installed it on a friends compuer
[03:55] <Anubis> looks like it is a gfx card error
[03:55] <RedEyess> computer
[03:55] <RedEyess> so I will feel at home
[03:56] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: you need to install the package j2re1.4
[03:56] <OrTigaS> any idea why? i seen the other windows pc but now i cant :(
[03:56] <SlyFerret> anubis: do you remember anything about what it said?
[03:56] <Anubis> ya
[03:56] <RedEyess> ld
[03:56] <RedEyess> oops
[03:56] <KurtKraut> What packages is needed to make Dapper be able to play mp3 ?
[03:57] <_jason> ubotu: tell KurtKraut about mp3
[03:57] <_jason> KurtKraut: #ubuntu+1 for dapper please
[03:57] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: you have to have multiverse enabled
[03:57] <KurtKraut> _jason, sorry for that and thanks for the help.
[03:57] <PwcrLinux> hold
[03:57] <SlyFerret> anubis: what was the error, in a nutshell?
[03:58] <candace> My son has us switch to this Ubuntu, and my flashdisk, several of my backup DvDs/Cds, and digital camera come up with a 'Unable to mount the selected volume. The volume is probably in a format that cannot be mounted.' message. Can someone help me, please?
[03:58] <Anubis> SlyFerret give me one sec alot to type
[03:58] <Anubis> looks like a gfx card error to me
[03:59] <Anubis> follower

[04:00] <NxNxMox> how can i do this?
[04:00] <candace> How so?

[04:01] <_nightw0lf> hey guys, can someone tell me where I can get sshd ? server? I want to install it on my system
[04:01] <vader> vladuz976, zip <package name>
[04:01] <NickGarvey> !openssh
[04:01] <ubotu> [openssh]  server and client setup at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SSHHowto
[04:01] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: what does "aptitude install j2re1.4" tell ya?
[04:01] <dli> _nightw0lf, sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[04:01] <Xenguy> candace: preface with my nick so I can read our exchange more easily...
[04:01] <NxNxMox> any idea?
[04:01] <_nightw0lf> thanks
[04:01] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: Okay hold on
[04:01] <vladuz976> vader: what package is that, I need to install for that executable?
[04:01] <Remy> hey, does anyone know of an application that will allow me to lock the keyboard but not the screen until I press a certain combination of keys ?
[04:01] <candace> Xenguy ~ Allright
[04:02] <SlyFerret> anubis: This might sound silly... but does the live CD work?
[04:02] <vader> it was installed by default on mine
[04:02] <Xenguy> candace: it sounds like the easiest place to start (compared to the other two)...
[04:02] <Anubis> will try
[04:02] <vladuz976> vader: i have server install
[04:02] <vladuz976> vader: can you see what package that file belongs to?
[04:02] <vader> ahhhhh vladuz976 then I have no clue
[04:02] <Xenguy> candace: is it just data on the cd's then?
[04:02] <SlyFerret> anubis: i'm just wondering if it's a detection problem (loading wrong driver), or a support problem (right driver, doesn't work)
[04:02] <_jason> vladuz976: the 'zip' package :P
[04:02] <vladuz976> vader: i think it's just called zip the packagd
[04:03] <NxNxMox> i have a second hd i want to access
[04:03] <NxNxMox> how do i access it?
[04:03] <vader> vladuz976,  I think so but am not sure
[04:03] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: Installed done
[04:03] <_jason> NxNxMox: what filesystem?
[04:03] <benkong2> anyone help with network manager applet troubles?
[04:03] <candace> Xenguy ~ A couple are movie files, but most are just regular files from our previous computer
[04:03] <NickGarvey> Remy: I think google is your best bet I don't know of anything like that
[04:03] <Xenguy> candace: OK...
[04:03] <NxNxMox> what do you mean
[04:03] <NxNxMox> fat or ntfs?
[04:03] <benkong2> everything in /etc/network/interfaces is removed
[04:03] <Anubis> SlyFerret booting live cd i though of the same thing
[04:03] <_jason> NxNxMox: yeah
[04:03] <Xenguy> candace: also, do you know if you are in a 'gnome' desktop manager?
[04:03] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: fine. Test your application
[04:04] <PwcrLinux> okay
[04:04] <Xenguy> candace: i.e. the default desktop environment?
[04:04] <NxNxMox> ntfs
[04:04] <_jason> ubotu: tell NxNxMox about ntfs
[04:04] <benkong2> I can see my wireless point and I m using 128bit hex WEP I put in the key and no connect
[04:04] <SlyFerret> anubis: i'm not sure that the live CD will detect any different, but it's worth a shot
[04:04] <mareks> how do i change the file format on a partition to ext3?
[04:04] <candace> Xenguy ~ If you mean a graphical interface, yes
[04:04] <NxNxMox> woops i mean fat
[04:04] <NxNxMox> i mixed up the drives
[04:04] <Anubis> SlyFerret same thing
[04:04] <_jason> NxNxMox: same instructions :P
[04:04] <_nightw0lf> !sshd
[04:04] <ubotu> somebody said sshd was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SSHHowto
[04:04] <sorbix> is anyone out there experienced with the mesa/ati problem that can help me?
[04:05] <wasan> I need help wih my linux install
[04:05] <Anubis> well at least i know its a gfx problem
[04:05] <_jason> NxNxMox: vfat is what linux calls it but the wiki page is the same
[04:05] <Xenguy> candace: OK, I'm going to load that over here, so I have the interface in front of me; one sec...
[04:05] <CosmoDad> mareks: you can only change the file system by formatting
[04:05] <mareks> how do i do that? im willing to lose everything
[04:05] <Remy> NickGarvey I've been searching for a while now...
[04:05] <CosmoDad> mareks: mkfs.ext3
[04:05] <ltR20> _jason im back
[04:05] <ltR20> you still there??
[04:05] <CosmoDad> mareks: be careful anyways
[04:05] <_jason> ltR20: yeah, did you try that command?
[04:06] <earthen> is there a program I can install to make my seround sound work so I can ajust each speaker
[04:06] <_nightw0lf> after I have installed the sshd files, how can I run the service
[04:06] <Metaltron> !./
[04:06] <ubotu> Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Metaltron
[04:06] <QuikBng19> how come i have added a bunch of apt-get reposities (the ones on ubuntuguide.org) and yet when i do apt-get it sometimes wants to use my ubuntu cd anyway to make it not use the cd?
[04:06] <candace> Xenguy ~ Allright
[04:06] <ltR20> no i had to go do somthing quick
[04:06] <ltR20> sorry what was it again?
[04:06] <ltR20> ill scroll up
[04:06] <wasan> my linux wont start up :<
[04:06] <wasan> the screen just stays black
[04:06] <CosmoDad> benkong2: check that you're truly connected to your AP using iwconfig
[04:06] <_jason> ltR20: sudo aptitude -s remove gtk2-engines-gtk-qt, that won't actually remove it but it will tell you what it will do.  Tell me if it removes a lot of stuff and what it will remove
[04:06] <vladuz976> vader: how do you use it to zip up a directory?
[04:06] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: Still says "additional plugins are required" and "Install Missing Plugins"
[04:07] <SlyFerret> anubis: sorry i'm not much more help.  Google will be your friend (and maybe the x.org website)
[04:07] <earthen> QuikBng19, comment out the cd in your sources.list
[04:07] <vader> vladuz976, I only do the odd file
[04:07] <SlyFerret> anubis: unfortunately, I must sign off for the night.  good luck!
[04:07] <_jason> vladuz976: do you need this to be zip instead of tar.gz for example?
[04:07] <Anubis> cya
[04:07] <Anubis> thanks for the help
[04:07] <Anubis> it really did help
[04:07] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: erm, sorry, I'm out of knowledge. :( you'll need the RE anyway I think so this wasn't a waste of time
[04:07] <vladuz976> _jason: yes, i have it tar.gz now, but i need to send files to my lab partners who only have windows
[04:08] <benkong2> A tail -f on var log messages shows network manager setting transmit key to 0 not 1 as in the linksys router. What's wrong?
[04:08] <ltR20> _jason: http://pastebin.com/652737
[04:08] <_jason> vladuz976: I think it's zip -r to recurse through directories, man page has some example I think
[04:08] <earthen> QuikBng19,  it because sometime the latest file is on the cd so ubuntu will perfer to get it from there rather then the net
[04:08] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: I'm not sure what additional plugins it wants
[04:08] <mareks> CosmoDad, when i do "mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda6" and then look at partition table, it still lists as NTFS ? :-(
[04:08] <vladuz976> _jason: and then you specify the output name too>
[04:08] <mareks> ive been messing around w/ this afternoon?
[04:08] <Xenguy> candace: loaded - so I assume you are right-clicking and trying to 'mount' the dvd, but you get an error - is that the situation?
[04:08] <NickGarvey> Remy: lock-keys-applet - A keyboard lock keys applet for the GNOME2 panel tried that?
[04:08] <CosmoDad> mareks: weird
[04:08] <_jason> vladuz976: yeah, zip -r file.zip /path/to/foo
[04:09] <candace> Xenguy ~ Yes, exactly. Do you need to see the entire message?
[04:09] <PwcrLinux> Cosmos: yea, so I will do manually install thru SunJava website.
[04:09] <CosmoDad> mareks: did you use sudo mkfs.ext3?
[04:09] -jingleBell:#ubuntu- ATTENTION: Jews Are Taking Over The World!
[04:09] <vladuz976> _jason: worked, thanks
[04:09] <Remy> not yet
[04:09] <mareks> CosmoDad, yes

[04:09] <CosmoDad> mareks: did mkfs tell you it succesfully finished?
[04:09] <candace> Xenguy ~ No I am not.
[04:09] <NxNxMox> Yeah
[04:09] <NxNxMox> everyone got that
[04:09] <_jason> ltR20: yeah, go ahead and run the command without the -s
[04:09] <NxNxMox> some loser ctcp'ed the channel
[04:10] <Testbell> test
[04:10] <Remy> NickGarvey that only shows you the status of caps lock, etc... doesn't actually lock the keyboard.  That's what I've found everywhere... caps lock info!
[04:10] <Xenguy> candace: trying looking at the /topic
[04:10] <_nightw0lf> someone knows how to make the sshd service work? I need someone to connect to my computer
[04:10] <NickGarvey> Remy: oh I see
[04:10] <Xenguy> candace: are you able to?
[04:10] <_nightw0lf> i mean to enable it
[04:10] <QuikBng19> earthen, i must be blind but i dont see any CD in my sources.list
[04:10] <NickGarvey> Remy: mm that was just me doing an apt-cache search
[04:10] <ltR20> _jason what will this do?
[04:10] <candace> Xenguy ~ Yes
[04:10] <CosmoDad> _nightw0lf: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[04:10] <ltR20> it says it's done jason_

[04:10] <_jason> ltR20: ok try restarting X now
[04:10] <britto> does yes anyone know how to setup vncserver on ubuntu
[04:11] <mareks> CosmoDad, it shows all the stats, then it says "Writing inode tables: done" and "Creating journal: done" and "writing superblocks... :done"
[04:11] <Xenguy> candace: So you paste errors to pastebin, then handoff the URL to me
[04:11] <theCore> why those people always come from sympatico ...
[04:11] <_nightw0lf> CosmoDad thanks alot
[04:11] <britto> does yes anyone know how to setup vncserver on ubuntu
[04:11] <CosmoDad> !tell britto about vnc
[04:11] <britto> could somebody help me
[04:12] <Xenguy> candace: I'll be right back (brb)
[04:12] <mareks> _jason, i found out why my fstab was throwing a fit. the "mkfs.ext3 /dev/sda6" never worked so it was trying to mount NTFS as EXT3, but i still cant get it to chnage file system :-(
[04:12] <CosmoDad> mareks: and what does "sudo cfdisk" say?
[04:12] <QuikBng19> how can i force apt-get not to use the ubuntu cd for updates
[04:12] <britto> i have setup the vnc but when i try to connect from my xp the vnc does not connect
[04:12] <britto> besides i have firestarter ... could that be a problem?
[04:12] <NickGarvey> QuikBng19: edit /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the cd line
[04:12] <CosmoDad> britto: for sure
[04:12] <_jason> mareks: oh.  Can't you use something like gparted?
[04:12] <earthen> QuikBng19,  there has to be one there if it is asking for your cd
[04:12] <vader> QuikBng19, I just remove the CD from the decission
[04:12] <QuikBng19> britto, are u using the port when u created the vnc like :1 or :2 or whatever u made
[04:12] <britto> i tried tweaking the vnc.conf
[04:12] <ltR20^^> _jason i pressed backspace + ctrl and it went to the login screen.. its stil the same
[04:12] <mareks> _jason, i dont know whawt gparted is?
[04:12] <QuikBng19> earthen, can i private message you my aptget list?
[04:12] <candace> Xenguy ~ http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12011 Allright
[04:13] <britto> i do ... but still causing headaches ...
[04:13] <frank23> britto: try disabling the firewall to see if it's the problem
[04:13] <_jason> mareks: a gui tool to modify partitions
[04:13] <CosmoDad> mareks: a graphical frontend to parted, a partitioning tool
[04:13] <Xenguy> candace: checking
[04:13] <_nightw0lf> !sshd
[04:13] <ubotu> hmm... sshd is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SSHHowto
[04:13] <CosmoDad> mareks: _jason's right, try it
[04:13] <_jason> ltR20^^: hrmm I don't know then.  I'm kind of out of ideas
[04:13] <earthen> yeah sure
[04:13] <ltR20^^> _jason.. so do i re-install ubuntu
[04:13] <ltR20^^> this sucks
[04:13] <_jason> ltR20^^: nah that seems drastic.  try asking the channel in a bit and try the forums/mail list
[04:13] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: I downloaded the bin file onto my desktop then what next?
[04:14] <earthen> QuikBng19,  no problem
[04:14] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats#head-e2ebd70ede0e3eb2117ffbd618d2295dd1540dca
[04:14] <britto>  still no luck guys.
[04:14] <britto> i stopped by firewall ... and still no luck.
[04:15] <earthen> QuikBng19,  there should be a line like this in your list  #deb cdrom:[Ubuntu 5.10 _Breezy Badger_ - Release amd64 (20051012)] / breezy main restricted
[04:15] <Xenguy> candace: hrm, have you looked at 'dmesg | tail' at all, as the error message suggests?
[04:15] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: remove backdown's java first!
[04:15] <_jason> ltR20^^: that was always like that ever since you installed kde right?
[04:15] <britto> do you have the vnc.conf available?

[04:16] <Xenguy> candace: can you open a terminal (command line) and try that?
[04:16] <nathanael> I cannot figure out how to increase the size of the CandyBar Gdesklet widget...do I need to manually edit the config file?
[04:16] <ltR20^^> _jason... i removed alot of kde/kde apps and a firefox profile
[04:16] <Xenguy> candace: applications > accessories > terminal
[04:17] <britto> cosmodad any new suggestions

[04:20] <arrick> IdleOne, thats what i get now when i type mount http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12012
[04:20] <mareks> "GDM could not write to your authorization file. This could mean that you are out of disk space or that your home directorycould not be opened for writing"
[04:20] <Xenguy> candace: hrm, it's the same output
[04:20] <CosmoDad> CraiZE: dude it's 4:20am, go to bed :)
[04:20] <CraiZE> nah
[04:20] <CraiZE> i gotta finish it
[04:20] <ROFLCOPTER|`evoL> how can i get my computer to be an ftp server so my friend that i host a game server for can upload files and stuff ?
[04:20] <candace> Xenguy ~ I'm sorry, what did you need?
[04:20] <CraiZE> CosmoDad,  u know about sed ?
[04:20] <NickGarvey> !tell ROFLCOPTER|`evoL about ftp
[04:20] <brandon_> mareks: do you have a home directory?
[04:20] <CosmoDad> CraiZE: a bit
[04:20] <arrick> ROFLCOPTER|`evoL, use proftpd
[04:20] <CraiZE> cosmo, okay
[04:20] <mareks> i dont remember deleting it?
[04:20] <NickGarvey> I am a vsftpd person myself
[04:20] <CraiZE> how can i sed -e s#\"\"## my $blah variable?
[04:20] <IdleOne> arrick, /hda4 is full?
[04:21] <arrick> yeah
[04:21] <Xenguy> candace: the 1st error suggested 'dmesg |tail' -- did you paste that output the 2nd time?
[04:21] <brandon_> mareks: does it have any free space?
[04:21] <earthen> marcels,  could you post your fstab file
[04:21] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: here is my paste,, is it's removed done??  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12015
[04:21] <candace> Xenguy ~ Yes
[04:21] <mareks> yep, all thats on an 80gb harddrive is ubuntu
[04:21] <CosmoDad> CraiZE: frankly, I don't get but you mean?
[04:21] <arrick> IdleOne, I finished mounting my server into my 4drawer filing cabinet today
[04:21] <Xenguy> candace: OK, let me ponder this for a second
[04:21] <mareks> its partitioned slightly for a webserver root dir
[04:22] <ROFLCOPTER|`evoL> arrick: i installed it but how do i use it now ?
[04:22] <Abb13> hello
[04:22] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: it hasn't removed anything. you seem to have removed it before (synaptics?)
[04:22] <arrick> now I can't hear it running,
[04:22] <bons> hey guys. i'm looking for resources on configuring my xorg.conf file. more specifically modelines for my laptop monitor.  anyone have any suggestions?
[04:22] <candace> Xenguy ~ Allright, thanks
[04:22] <arrick> !proftpd
[04:22] <ubotu> No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, arrick
[04:22] <Abb13> Talk to me slags
[04:22] <arrick> !info Proftpd
[04:22] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: or you haven't installed it in the first place
[04:22] <ubotu> proftpd: (Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon), section universe/net, is optional. Version: 1.2.10-22 (breezy), Packaged size: 347 kB, Installed size: 1044 kB
[04:22] <IdleOne> ROFLCOPTER|`evoL, man proftpd
[04:22] <_jason> CraiZE: you don't need sed, you can do something like: ${blah//\"/}
[04:22] <Abb13> arrick, boo
[04:22] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: what does 'dpkg -l j2re1.4' tell you?
[04:22] <brandon_> mareks: can you start kdm?
[04:22] <CraiZE>  jason ok
[04:22] <mareks> i dont know whawt kdm is?
[04:22] <ROFLCOPTER|`evoL> IdleOne: How do run the program though ?
[04:22] <arrick> ROFLCOPTER|`evoL, if you need much more help, you can ask a number of people here
[04:23] <_jason> CraiZE: that gets rid of all of the " quotations marks which is what I think you wanted to do
[04:23] <mareks> im a complete idiot... i think im just going to reinstall... ugh
[04:23] <arrick> Abb13, what do you mean boo?
[04:23] <brandon_> mareks: it's the kde display manager. gdm is the gnome display manager
[04:23] <PwcrLinux> okay is dpkg -l for checking if it's in the hard drive or not?
[04:23] <CraiZE> jason
[04:23] <mareks> i dont have kde
[04:23] <IdleOne> ROFLCOPTER|`evoL, most of the time from terminal just type the program name and it will startup
[04:23] <CraiZE> no i actually want to fix the path
[04:23] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: if it's installed
[04:23] <Abb13> arrick, i ment boo u twat head
[04:23] <brandon_> i see
[04:23] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: and if it has been
[04:23] <CraiZE> like /home/craize/directory has spaces/file has spaces too.txt
[04:23] <IdleOne> ROFLCOPTER|`evoL, look in Applications>Internet it should be there
[04:23] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: or ever was :)
[04:23] <mareks> not that i know of anyway... its just a default install of ubuntu 5.10
[04:23] <PwcrLinux> okay hold on
[04:23] <arrick> Abb13, do you know me?
[04:23] <Xenguy> candace: type this at a terminal and tell me what output you get: ls -l /dev/cdrom
[04:23] <ROFLCOPTER|`evoL> IdleOne: I don't see it ?
[04:23] <OrTigaS> hi how can i access this box/folders thru other windows pc... it asking me pswd
[04:23] <CraiZE> i want it to fix the filename
[04:23] <Abb13> arrick, no r u american
[04:24] <arrick> yes
[04:24] <IdleOne> ROFLCOPTER|`evoL, then in terminal type the name of the app
[04:24] <_jason> CraiZE: fix in what way?  rename the spaces to _?
[04:24] <CraiZE> _jason, idea on how to do that?
[04:24] <ROFLCOPTER|`evoL> IdleOne: That doesn't work either lol
[04:24] <CraiZE> no
[04:24] <IdleOne> ROFLCOPTER|`evoL, whats the app?
[04:24] <Healot> tried the official release of ATi driver on x64 yet... it seems the control panel can't link the libexpat
[04:24] <CraiZE> i cant use the spaces with mount
[04:24] <CraiZE> for example
[04:24] <arrick> Abb13, yes I am why?
[04:24] <ROFLCOPTER|`evoL> IdleOne: Proftpd....
[04:24] <CraiZE>  /media/hdh1/invader zim/dvd1.nrg
[04:24] <h4lfl1ng> u need to put an escape character
[04:24] <Xenguy> CraiZE: for i in *; do mv "$i" "`echo $i | tr ' ' '_'`"; done
[04:24] <CraiZE> becomes: /media/hdh1/invader\ zim/dvd1.nrg

[04:25] <Abb13> arrick,  just a guess cause im  so intellegent oo he by the way im a natural blonde
[04:25] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: un  j2re1.4        <none>         (no description available)
[04:25] <CraiZE> yes
[04:25] <CosmoDad> CraiZE: can't you just use quotation marks?
[04:25] <Xenguy> candace: good - pondering again
[04:25] <CraiZE> no
[04:25] <PwcrLinux> what's the un does for?
[04:25] <CraiZE> you cant
[04:25] <IdleOne> ROFLCOPTER|`evoL, and in terminal if you type proftpd it doesnt start ( may take a minute )
[04:25] <CraiZE> mount doesnt like those
[04:25] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: it has been uninstalled
[04:25] <arcanistherogue> hey im getting an error
[04:25] <mareks> grr this is highly discouraging
[04:25] <PwcrLinux> Cosmo: wow that's new to me
[04:25] <arcanistherogue> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[04:25] <arcanistherogue> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[04:25] <arcanistherogue> what does that mean?
[04:26] <arrick> IdleOne, it runs in the background, he wont even know its running,
[04:26] <_jason> CraiZE: yeah it should work if you do what CosmoDad said afaik
[04:26] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: you may go ahead and install sun's java
[04:26] <arcanistherogue> i tried restarting X and it didn't help :\
[04:26] <mareks> i know im going to repeatedly break my linux is this can happen this easily and i know im going to give up on it. :-(
[04:26] <CraiZE> oh n/m
[04:26] <CraiZE> i had a bug
[04:26] <PwcrLinux> arcanistherogue: close the sypt application
[04:26] <brandon_> mareks: did gnome ever run properly?
[04:26] <IdleOne> arrick,  ahh that explains it
[04:26] <Xenguy> candace: in the terminal, we want to become 'root' now; type: sudo -i
[04:26] <mareks> yea
[04:26] <arrick> IdleOne, you gona help him set it up?
[04:26] <Healot> arcanistherogue: there is a program locking/using your apt database... synaptic probably?
[04:26] <vader> arcanistherogue, try closing the other program that is using sudo
[04:26] <Xenguy> candace: then type your password
[04:26] <IdleOne> ROFLCOPTER|`evoL, I dont have experience with proftpd . thought it was GUI app
[04:26] <brandon_> mareks, at what point did it stop running properly?
[04:26] <arcanistherogue> ok thanks
[04:27] <IdleOne> arrick, if you can give him a hand I dont know about it
[04:27] <mareks> brandon_ i was just trying to add an entry to the fstab... and i took it out and now it still doesnt work
[04:27] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: I have bin on the desktop now..
[04:27] <mareks> i had to boot w/ the liveCD twice just to modify the fstab
[04:27] <Xenguy> candace: you should get a prompt ending with '#' instead of '$'
[04:27] <arrick> DBO, you here?
[04:27] <Xenguy> candace: that indicates you are now 'root/superuser'
[04:27] <mareks> brandon_ when i sudo it says ""sudo: must be setuid root"
[04:27] <brandon_> mareks: what did you want to add to fstab?
[04:27] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: follow the link I gave you
[04:27] <CosmoDad> !tell PwcrLinux -about java
[04:27] <CosmoDad> !tell PwcrLinux -about javadeb
[04:27] <mareks> i was just adding a partition to it (it was originally ntfs, but reformatted to ext3)
[04:27] <candace> Xenguy ~  It is still a '$', and said my password was incorrect.
[04:28] <candace> Xenguy ~  My son says it only works on his account
[04:28] <arrick> mwe you one here?
[04:28] <IdleOne> ROFLCOPTER|`evoL, arrick can give you a hand with it . if he is inclined :)
[04:28] <Xenguy> candace: yes that is true
[04:28] <brandon_> mareks: it sounds like your user info is screwed up somehow. try adding a new user, and then log in as that user
[04:28] <arrick> IdleOne, gotta sleep, trying to find him help from someone that can do it though
[04:28] <candace> Xenguy ~  I will be back soon
[04:28] <Xenguy> candace: hrm, is your son there at the moment (ATM) ?
[04:28] <arrick> I cant remember half of it
[04:28] <candace> Xenguy ~ YEs
[04:28] <candace> *yes
[04:29] <mareks> i dunno how to do that
[04:29] <Xenguy> candace: OK, here is one idea...
[04:29] <CraiZE> how can i remove the last "space" ?
[04:29] <mareks> its so pointless i didnt do anything yet
[04:29] <CraiZE> like i want this to become
[04:29] <mareks> im just going to reinstall
[04:29] <brandon_> useradd mareks
[04:29] <CraiZE> like i want this tobecome
[04:29] <CraiZE> ?
[04:29] <CraiZE> ?
[04:29] <brandon_> then add a password like this: passwd mareks
[04:29] <vader> night poeple......it is time for me to give up for the night and relax and take in some TV
[04:29] <ltR20^^> _jason you still there?
[04:29] <CraiZE> nobody knows?
[04:29] <_jason> ltR20^^: yeah
[04:29] <ltR20^^> https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/
[04:29] <_jason> ubotu: tell CraiZE about enter
[04:30] <ltR20^^> which do i choose?
[04:30] <Xenguy> candace: you can become your son's account first (su - sonsaccount); then you can do 'sudo -i')
[04:30] <CraiZE> _jason, do that again
[04:30] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: Hmm I got prvmsg from ubotu, which one better easy faster install than using Bin or long commands in the terminal box..
[04:30] <CraiZE> ......
[04:30] <arrick> hey ROFLCOPTER|`evoL if You cant find help in here within the next 9 hours, I will be back up , and help you get it done sometime tomorrw, if you on
[04:30] <_jason> ltR20^^: ubuntu users
[04:30] <CraiZE> ubotu: tell _jason about enter
[04:30] <Xenguy> CraiZE: umm
[04:30] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: yeah I told ubotu to tell you :)
[04:30] <ROFLCOPTER|`evoL> lol alright arrick
[04:30] <CraiZE> Xenguy,  yes?
[04:30] <arrick> just send a pm to me
[04:30] <arrick> sorry
[04:30] <ROFLCOPTER|`evoL> kk
[04:31] <candace> Xenguy ~ I now have it
[04:31] <brandon_> mareks: are y ou sure your home directory is mounted?
[04:31] <arrick> been up for 48 hours now
[04:31] <`underOATH> changed my name :)
[04:31] <Xenguy> CraiZE: get a clue who you are talking to
[04:31] <mareks> brandon_ says "useradd: unable to lock password file"
[04:31] <arrick> ok
[04:31] <`underOATH> this is my name i have a password for nickserv on
[04:31] <arrick> ok
[04:31] <CraiZE> Xenguy, who am i talking to ?
[04:31] <Xenguy> candace: OK...
[04:31] <IdleOne> `underOATH, use an easier nick for us to type please :)
[04:31] <brandon_> mareks: what's the output of the command: pwd
[04:31] <`underOATH> IdleOne, this is easy enough
[04:31] <mareks> "/home/webserver"
[04:31] <`underOATH> just press the little "`" then tab 2 times :P
[04:31] <mareks> ("webserver" is username)
[04:32] <IdleOne> `underOATH,  well its better then the last yup :P
[04:32] <arrick> hey join #arrick and I will give you voice so you can let me know when you will be back to work on it if you dont get it tonight
[04:32] <Xenguy> candace: we'll try mounting this CD from the command-line and see what happens...
[04:32] <brandon_> mareks: that's correct
[04:32] <`underOATH> IdleOne, yea i play counters trike and thats my name on gamesurge
[04:32] <Xenguy> candace: is the dvd/cdrom in the drive?
[04:32] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: uses seavas's deb or in the wiki about install java and command lines. which one faster and easy?
[04:32] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: probably the deb
[04:32] <candace> Xenguy ~ I need to swap it, the ones in the drives are ones that work
[04:32] <Healot> svs's PwcrLinux
[04:32] <arrick> 'underOATH, join #arrick
[04:32] <PwcrLinux> okay, should I remove the bin from the desktop?
[04:32] <Xenguy> candace: OK, do that
[04:32] <brandon_> mareks: change directory to root (cd /)
[04:32] <Healot> but if only you have the i386 ubuntu
[04:33] <mareks> done
[04:33] <brandon_> now ls
[04:33] <mareks> what am i looking for?
[04:33] <brandon_> i'm just wondering if everything that should be there is there
[04:33] <mareks> looks like it all there... although i hardly have a trained eye
[04:33] <brandon_> is /etc there?
[04:34] <arcanistherogue> hey, ive been getting a nasty error when i do sudo apt-get update
[04:34] <mareks> i have bin dev media root tmp boot etc mnt sbin usr home lib opt srv  var debootstrap initrd lost+found proc sys
[04:34] <arcanistherogue> it freezes at getting headers, 99%
[04:34] <bosco> hey how do i get the plugin for gaim working
[04:34] <bosco> bosco the webcam
[04:34] <bosco> plugin
[04:34] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: not sure
[04:34] <arcanistherogue> how long should this normally take :\
[04:34] <candace> Xenguy ~ It is saying it is unable to eject
[04:34] <arcanistherogue> 99% [Waiting for headers]
[04:34] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: leave it there until you installed the bin
[04:34] <brandon_> sounds right
[04:34] <arcanistherogue> thats as far as it gets :/
[04:34] <frank23> arcanistherogue: maybe you have a source which is down. you can probably ignore it
[04:34] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: the .deb I mean
[04:34] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: it might ask you about providing a .bin anyway
[04:34] <arcanistherogue> frank23, how would i tell?
[04:34] <brandon_> actually, you have to add the user as root, so sudo it
[04:34] <Xenguy> candace: you tried 'eject'  ?
[04:35] <Ketobi> hi
[04:35] <makaveli> is there skype for linux?
[04:35] <Xenguy> candace: er, typing 'eject' ?
[04:35] <mareks> brandon+ when i sudo it says "sudo: must be setuid root"
[04:35] <frank23> arcanistherogue: wait a minute until it times out. what is the error message?
[04:35] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586.bin is on the desktop..
[04:35] <arcanistherogue> k, ill wait until it times out frank23
[04:35] <brandon_> maybe you;re not set as a sudoer. lemme search for a bit
[04:35] <_jason> mareks: what does this say: ls -l `which sudo`
[04:35] <Ketobi> whats the difference between kde and gnome? should i use ubuntu or kubuntu?
[04:36] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: leave it there until you finished installing from the .deb
[04:36] <mareks> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 93332 2006-01-09 04:41 /usr/bin/sudo
[04:36] <frank23> Ketobi: try both.
[04:36] <candace> Xenguy ~ Allright, I have swapped it for a non-functioning disk, and it gives me the same error when I try to open it, as before.
[04:36] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: if things go right, delete it afterwards
[04:36] <whaley> Ketobi, it's a matter of personal taste, take both for a test run
[04:36] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: Okay
[04:36] <Xenguy> candace: K...
[04:36] <whaley> Ketobi, try the live cd's first
[04:36] <_jason> mareks: see that needs a +s in the user part.  That's what the error is telling you.  Why it's not there, I do not know
[04:36] <bimberi> Ketobi: different desktop environments, matter of choice, try both and decide for yourself :)
[04:37] <Ketobi> ok, thx
[04:37] <mareks> how do we get it back _jason?
[04:37] <Xenguy> candace: from the 'root' terminal window, try this:  mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
[04:37] <Xenguy> candace: what happens?
[04:37] <arcanistherogue> frank23, Err http://www.mirrorservice.org breezy Release.gpg
[04:37] <arcanistherogue>   Connection failed [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[04:37] <arcanistherogue> it is still waiting for headers after that error though O_o
[04:37] <_jason> mareks: you can change the permission but the fact that it somehow got removed may mean other things are also messed up so you should try to figure out what happened
[04:38] <frank23> arcanistherogue: that's not an official mirror AFAIK. maybe you should use an official one
[04:38] <candace> Xenguy ~ mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
[04:38] <candace> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[04:38] <arcanistherogue> okey dokey.  I was getting KDE 3.5.2, so i used the mirrors on the kubuntu page.  I shouldn't of put them all in my sources.list, right?
[04:38] <Xenguy> candace: it wants more specific info...
[04:38] <mareks> can ubuntu create ntfs partitions?
[04:38] <Xenguy> candace: let's try a shot in the dark then...
[04:38] <_jason> mareks: no
[04:39] <frank23> arcanistherogue: one is enough. but more than one doesn't matter either
[04:39] <Xenguy> candace: from the 'root' terminal window, try this:  mount -t vfat /dev/cdrom /mnt
[04:39] <candace> mount: Allright
[04:39] <_jason> mareks: at least not that I know of
[04:39] <brandon_> marek: when you look at your fstab file, is the word nosuid in there?
[04:39] <arcanistherogue> frank23 thanks alot man, i was getting worried about apt
[04:39] <mareks> _jason, is it possible for windows systems to read/write to a 100% linux computer with 100% ext3 partitions?
[04:39] <candace> mount: mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
[04:39] <candace> mount: /dev/cdrom: can't read superblock
[04:39] <frank23> arcanistherogue: I find kubuntu.org pretty fast so that one should be enough
[04:39] <candace> Xenguy ~ Oops. 'mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
[04:39] <candace> mount: /dev/cdrom: can't read superblock'
[04:39] <mareks> _jason, (across a regular @home network)
[04:40] <ltR20^^> _jason you there?
[04:40] <Xenguy> candace: hrm, no joy...
[04:40] <frank23> arcanistherogue: did you upgrade to kde 3.5.2 yet?
[04:40] <arcanistherogue> yup
[04:40] <arcanistherogue> it went great
[04:40] <_jason> ubotu: tell mareks about explore2fs
[04:40] <kfarrell> Hello, does anyone know if there is a repository for the latest mono builds? ie monodevelop 0.10
[04:40] <_jason> mareks: that works with partitions on the same machine, i don't know about across a network
[04:41] <cornflake> is dapper safe yet?
[04:41] <frank23> arcanistherogue: the resolution configuration menu disappeared though. it's a bug in breezy kde 3.5.2
[04:41] <_jason> ltR20^^: yeah
[04:41] <frank23> arcanistherogue: you can use  xrandr  to change manually if you need to
[04:41] <Xenguy> candace: are you certain these CDs are not unreadable?  Also what operating system/file system generated the data on the CDs ?
[04:41] <Xenguy> candace: brb
[04:41] <ltR20^^> _jason do you think it's cause of KDE... that i uninstalled it?
[04:42] <_jason> ltR20^^: no since you said it was working find after you uninstalled kde but only after a few days it happened
[04:42] <arcanistherogue> frank23, so i cant change the resolution?  or do you mean i cant configure it with the system configurations in kde
[04:42] <_jason> ltR20^^: s/find/fine
[04:42] <cornflake> is dapper stable yet?
[04:42] <frank23> arcanistherogue: you cant configure it with the system configurations in kde
[04:42] <lutra> cornflake: no
[04:42] <lutra> cornflake: not till june when it's released
[04:42] <candace> Xenguy ~ I had my son burn these backups, and they work on other computers. They were made on Windows XP.
[04:42] <`underOATH> When the new ubuntu is released will you have to reformat to get that or will it just upgrade breezy ?
[04:42] <arcanistherogue> frank23, no problem, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:43] <_jason> `underOATH: the latter
[04:43] <`underOATH> ?
[04:43] <frank23> arcanistherogue: yeah.  or   xrandr  in a konsole
[04:43] <cornflake> lutra, alrighty then. *goes back into his hole*
[04:43] <arcanistherogue> yeah
[04:43] <lutra> `underOATH: just point your sources to dapper and sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:43] <arcanistherogue> konsole owns
[04:43] <Naomarik> I have a permission question... I wrote a small bash script that connects to an access point and configures ifconfig and route to give me internet instantly... the only problem is I have to run it as root or sudo due to ifconfig, is there a way around this
[04:43] <Xenguy> candace: that should not be a problem to mount then...
[04:43] <`underOATH> lutra oh cool
[04:43] <lutra> cornflake: he he...i mean dapper is stable enough right now...but i wouldn't stay something might not break between now and then
[04:44] <Xenguy> candace: if you type 'mount', what output do you get? (pastebin may be necessary)
[04:44] <frank23> Naomarik: you can suid it maybe.
[04:44] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: Okay which one I open or save onto desktop for the deb file?
[04:44] <frank23> Naomarik: not sure how to do that though
[04:44] <ithiel> hi everybody
[04:44] <lutra> `underOATH: the beauty of a debian system
[04:44] <kfarrell> Hello, does anyone know if there is a repository for the latest mono builds?
[04:44] <cornflake> lutra, things break in the stable version now :P
[04:44] <lutra> cornflake: it's true
[04:44] <Naomarik> thanks frank... I'll see what I can find about suid
[04:44] <frank23> kfarrell: I used a debian repository for them.
[04:45] <candace> Xenguy ~ http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12016
[04:45] <kfarrell> frank23, ty, was it http://pkg-mono.alioth.debian.org/ per chance?
[04:45] <asjdjasdjjas> hi, can someone tell me how to find my ip?
[04:45] <asjdjasdjjas> my local ip
[04:45] <mareks> with liveCD, whats is a good way to get data off of a ntfs partition across a network to a shared folder on a windows computer for backup?
[04:45] <whaley> asjdjasdjjas: sudo ifconfig
[04:45] <benkong2> type ipconfig
[04:45] <bimberi> asjdjasdjjas: ifconfig
[04:45] <IdleOne> asjdjasdjjas, type ifconfig in terminal
[04:45] <kfarrell> asjdjasdjjas, ifconfig eth0
[04:45] <Xenguy> candace: checking
[04:46] <frank23> kfarrell: no I just used a regular debian unstable mirror
[04:46] <benkong2> oops windoze uses ipconfig
[04:46] <tonyyarusso> What do you have to use with mkisofs to specify the iso as bootable?
[04:46] <asjdjasdjjas> shite... wrong chan im on redhat :/
[04:46] <nidah> hi need help installing java
[04:47] <bimberi> asjdjasdjjas: ifconfig should work in redhat too :)
[04:47] <nidah> i type su in terminal followed by my password but it deneis me access
[04:47] <frank23> nidah: use sudo instead
[04:47] <kfarrell> frank23, thanks mate
[04:47] <Xenguy> candace: this line looks odd: /dev/scd0 on /media/cdrom2 type iso9660 (ro,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=maxwell) ...
[04:47] <frank23> !tell nidah about sudo
[04:47] <asjdjasdjjas> would anyone happen to know how to find ur local ip in redhat?
[04:47] <Xenguy> candace: it's like 'maxwell' already has the cdrom device mounted (?)
[04:48] <nidah> frank i wish to know how to instal java on my ssystem as java website doesnt provide info on install using sudo
[04:48] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: what have you accomplished so far?
[04:48] <candace> Xenguy ~ I don't quite get what you mean.
[04:48] <frank23> !tell nidah about java
[04:48] <Xenguy> candace: what happens if maxwell unmounts the cdrom (/dev/scd0) and you try the mount command again?
[04:48] <Xenguy> candace: well the last line...
[04:49] <candace> Xenguy ~ How do I unmount this?
[04:49] <Xenguy> candace: indicates that user 'maxwell' has the cdrom device mounted (possibly)...
[04:49] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: the download box says sun-j2re1.5_1.5.0+update06_i386.deb  open or save ?
[04:49] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: oh ok, save it
[04:49] <Xenguy> candace: thinking...
[04:50] <Xenguy> candace: what happens if 'root' does: umount /dev/scd0
[04:51] <Xenguy> candace: or this would probably work also: umount /media/cdrom2
[04:51] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: Wow, big download 30 MB!
[04:51] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: yeah, have a coffee or two
[04:51] <Xenguy> candace: (notice 'umount', not 'unmount')
[04:52] <mikodelacruz> DO i still need to download McAfee is i am using ubuntu?
[04:52] <NsOmNiAc> !ubotu enlightenment
[04:52] <ubotu> from memory, enlightenment is http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=79155
[04:52] <candace> Xenguy ~ The first gives me just a new command line, the second gives me 'umount: /media/cdrom2: not mounted'
[04:52] <lwizardl> how do i get java 1.4 installed. I've looked for a deb or rpm
[04:53] <frank23> !tell lwizardl about java
[04:53] <frank23> lwizardl: install blackdown if you want 1.4
[04:53] <Xenguy> candace: type this again: mount
[04:53] <lwizardl> blackdown?
[04:53] <Xenguy> candace: is the cdrom2 line still there?
[04:53] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: it's saved on the desktop now
[04:54] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: install it
[04:54] <frank23> mikodelacruz: the short answer is no.  virus scanner in linux are only really useful if you want to catch windows virus (which pose no threat to linux)
[04:54] <candace> Xenguy ~ No
[04:54] <PwcrLinux> okay
[04:54] <Xenguy> candace: good...
[04:55] <Xenguy> candace: try this again as a test: mount /dev/cdrom /mnt
[04:55] <mikodelacruz> so do i need antivirus of some sort if i am using UBUNTU
[04:55] <frank23> lwizardl: blackdown java is based on Sun java. I'm not sure what the relationship is
[04:55] <Xenguy> candace: (asuming you still have the cdrom in the drive)
[04:55] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: Couldn't open, archive type not supported
[04:55] <frank23> mikodelacruz: no
[04:55] <candace> Xenguy ~ I do. This comes up: 'mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
[04:55] <candace> mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[04:55] <candace> '
[04:56] <Xenguy> candace: damn, looks familiar...
[04:56] <tonyyarusso> What do you have to use with mkisofs to specify the iso as bootable?
[04:56] <Xenguy> candace: and this? mount -t vfat /dev/cdrom /mnt
[04:56] <Healot> it is recommended to use official JDK/JRE from Sun, and install "java-package" to create the debian package out of the installers
[04:57] <frank23> Healot: yes it is
[04:57] <candace> Xenguy ~ mount: block device /dev/cdrom is write-protected, mounting read-only
[04:57] <candace> mount: /dev/cdrom: can't read superblock
[04:57] <frank23> Healot: oh that wasn't a question... ;)
[04:57] <Healot> candace: CDrom formats are udf or iso9660 only
[04:58] <candace> Which means?
[04:58] <Xenguy> candace: OK, what about this: mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt
[04:58] <Healot> FAT/VFAT or other isn't suitable for CDroms
[04:58] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: which guide did you follow? give me the URL
[04:59] <Xenguy> Healot: yaeh, muddling my way thru :-)
[04:59] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: http://mirror2.ubuntulinux.nl/dists/breezy-seveas/java/
[04:59] <candace> Xenguy ~ http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12017
[05:00] <Xenguy> candace: grasping at straws now: mount -t ntfs /dev/cdrom /mnt
[05:01] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: you should have added the apt-source in your /etc/apt/sources.list. Do this:
[05:01] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:01] <candace> Xenguy ~ Same error -> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12017
[05:01] <lwizardl> !javadebs
[05:01] <Xenguy> candace: yep...
[05:02] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: add this line to the very bottom:  deb http://mirror2.ubuntulinux.nl/ breezy-seveas java
[05:02] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: save and exit, then: start synaptics and install the package "sun-j2re1.5". done
[05:02] <Xenguy> candace: I should have been trying with '-t iso9660' all along; these errors indicate that there is something non-standard about the filesystem on those particular cdroms...
[05:02] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: delete the .deb you downloaded manually
[05:03] <Xenguy> candace: the fact that you can read other cdroms indicates there is nothing fundamentally wrong...
[05:03] <nidah> i hate linux
[05:03] <candace> Xenguy ~ What do you suggest?
[05:03] <Xenguy> candace: I'm not sure how I can help at this point if those CDs won't mount tho
[05:03] <OrTigaS> hi how can i access this box/folders thru other windows pc... it asking me pswd
[05:04] <Xenguy> candace: I suggest you make new backups for starters
[05:04] <PwcrLinux> CosmoDad: can I prvmsg with you?
[05:04] <Naomarik> OrTigaS: you have samba installed already, yes?
[05:04] <candace> Xenguy ~ Well thanks anyways.
[05:04] <Xenguy> candace: linux has no intrinsic problem reading this kind of stuff normally, so there must be another issue that is not yet clear
[05:05] <OrTigaS> Naomarik,  yes
[05:05] <Xenguy> candace: yw - sorry I couldn't help produce a happy ending
[05:05] <Compaq_Owner_> Is the Ubuntu install    DVD  an official release?
[05:05] <Healot> candace: is that CD a house-brewed (self-made)?
[05:05] <candace> Xenguy ~ Different drives work with different disks, so I'm not quite sure. My son says it has something to do with drivers, he thinks.
[05:05] <Xenguy> candace: my guess is that *something* is odd about those 'rogue' CDs :-/
[05:05] <candace> Xenguy ~ self made?
[05:06] <Naomarik> OrTigaS: Type smbpasswd (username), username being the shares you want accessed... this worked for me.
[05:06] <Xenguy> candace: hard to say
[05:06] <Naomarik> Then you should be able to log in using the username and password that you typed... I think you have to be root to issue that command though
[05:07] <CosmoDad> PwcrLinux: sure
[05:07] <Xenguy> candace: good luck - your son made a good choice with Ubuntu BTW :-)
[05:07] <Compaq_Owner_> Is the Ubuntu install DVD an official release?
[05:07] <tonyyarusso> If 'file foo.iso' doesn't show it as bootable, will a CD burned from that still work (as a bootable install disk)?  If not, what do I need to do differently when creating the iso?
[05:08] <tonyyarusso> Compaq_Owner_: Yes, and is included on cdimage.ubuntu.com
[05:08] <Compaq_Owner_> Thank you tonyyarruso
[05:09] <candace> Xenguy ~ Putting this aside, I am pleased ^_^ Thanks, and Good Bye

[05:14] <farous> _jason: you beaten me to it
[05:14] <arcanistherogue> will that overwrite my gdm.conf

[05:20] <`underOATH> is it alright if i put a timed message in here asking for anyone with proftpd to pm me ?
[05:20] <_jason> zaibiechu: it's probably somewhere in /var/log, but I don't know what would be appropriate.  maybe syslog
[05:20] <fiendskull9> does anyone know the apt package that gets me the base of gnome? and not all the programs.
[05:20] <fiendskull9> juist gnome

[05:21] <ubotu> mp3 is, like, a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[05:21] <farous> `underOATH: setting proftpd is normally done manually you need to consult the howto on the forums. for a more secure client i used vsftpd. it uses ssh
[05:22] <farous> `underOATH: there is an abandon information on the web on how to edit and configure those servers I am afraid though there is not any gui for configuring it at least that i know of
[05:22] <AdventChild> !good bot
[05:22] <ubotu> :)
[05:22] <cycom> I just ran vgscan and found an old volume group from LVM.  How the heck to I mount it now?
[05:22] <AdventChild> !mount
[05:22] <ubotu> hmm... mount is the command to add partitions to your filesystem - for full instructions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingANewHardDrive For mounting windows partitions, see !windowsdrives or http://tinyurl.com/bly9f
[05:22] <`underOATH> farous: is vsftpd easier to install ?
[05:23] <p47> HELP ME !!!!!
[05:23] <farous> `underOATH: i found a good howto on proftp so was easier for me. Yet once i set vsftp i jsut set it and forget it

[05:26] <RayFredPip> Help!
[05:27] <RayFredPip> How can I using KDE packages ,I am using Ubuntu.
[05:27] <_jason> RayFredPip: just install them through synaptic
[05:27] <IdleOne> RayFredPip, sudo aptitude install kubuntu-desktop
[05:28] <RayFredPip> IdleOne, shall I install KDE ?
[05:28] <IdleOne> RayFredPip, yes that will install kde desktop
[05:28] <vez> k I have k3b and I am trying to burn a disk but it will not let me burn mp3s
[05:28] <vez> there not supported
[05:29] <IdleOne> RayFredPip, if you are asking me if you should that is up to you . I prefer gnome
[05:29] <NickGarvey> !tell vez about mp3
[05:29] <vars> RayFredPip, why would you want to install KDE?
[05:29] <forkmantis> what options do I have for getting a command to run when the computer boots?
[05:29] <forkmantis> init.d scripts?
[05:29] <AngryElf> how do i prevent gdm from starting when the system boots?
[05:30] <RayFredPip> IdleOne, Does ubuntu support  KDE unwell?
[05:30] <IdleOne> RayFredPip, yes it does
[05:30] <forkmantis> I need to run mount --bind each time my computer is restarted, and am just looking for the simplest way to accomplish this
[05:30] <AdventChild> loader
[05:30] <IdleOne> RayFredPip, both kde and gnome are supported well on ubuntu
[05:30] <RayFredPip> vars, Because I want to use more software
[05:31] <AdventChild> use a loader to mount
[05:31] <_jason> RayFredPip: if you just want to run kde programs, you can just install them in synaptic.  If you actually want to use the KDE environment instead of GNOME, then you would do what IdleOne suggested
[05:31] <forkmantis> AdventChild: I assume that was directed to me?
[05:32] <_jason> AngryElf: forever?
[05:32] <vars> RayFredPip, what kind of macheine do you have i wouldn't recomend KDE and Gnome both with anything less tahn 2 gig processor and 512 Memoryd
[05:32] <RayFredPip> IdleOne, OK! Iin fact I have install Kubuntu-desktop,but why I have not seen KDE desktop view?
[05:32] <Cloud_tm> Hello everyone
[05:32] <AngryElf> _jason, i dont want to uninstall it, just dont want it started
[05:33] <IdleOne> RayFredPip, you need to log out and log back in choosing kde from the session button on the login screen
[05:33] <RayFredPip> vars, so don't you use either of them?
[05:33] <_jason> AngryElf: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm remove, you can also do it in gnome by using system > admin > services I believe
[05:33] <Cloud_tm> I have a question: When I run "make" to conpile a certain file I get this error message: "common.h:67: error: array type has incomplete element type

[05:33] <Cloud_tm> make: *** [lib]  Error 2"
[05:33] <Cloud_tm> What do i do?
[05:33] <IdleOne> RayFredPip, if you have an older pc I suggest not running kde because it will be very slow

[05:34] <Dissident> something strange just happened, when I click on Applications in the menu bar, the list appears for a split second then disappears.  Places and System work fine.  I haven't done anything recently so what's up?
[05:34] <RayFredPip> IdleOne, Roger!
[05:34] <NickGarvey> Dissident: refresh the panel?
[05:34] <RayFredPip> IdleOne, thanks!
[05:34] <IdleOne> RayFredPip, np
[05:34] <lwizardl> _jason: thanks it lists 1.4 like i need
[05:35] <daniel3233232> hi!
[05:35] <Dissident> how would I do that exactly?  I've already restarted gdm so I wouldn't think that would be it
[05:35] <IdleOne> Dissident, kinda like the panel locks up for a second or two?
[05:35] <chris_> how do i install firefox plugins through synaptic?
[05:35] <chris_> or is there another way?
[05:35] <babo> So should I use \r\n or \n to denote a newline in an email that I'm sending ?
[05:35] <_jason> chris_: which ones?
[05:35] <chris_> ubuntu ppc bte
[05:35] <chris_> *btw
[05:35] <chris_> i need the macromedia
[05:35] <Cloud_tm> chris_:  sudo apt-get install flashplayer-mozilla
[05:35] <chris_> and idk the rest
[05:35] <_jason> chris_: I believe you can't get that on ppc
[05:35] <jdmpike> Does anyone in here use MonoDevelop?
[05:36] <Dissident> Idleone, no the panel is working fine.  Just the applications menu is not visible.  There is a little graphic glitch where the menu should be
[05:36] <IdleOne> chris_, you dont you go to the firefox website and install them
[05:36] <vez> what format is music on regular cds?
[05:36] <chris_> well they have them for linux
[05:36] <chris_> but not for ppc
[05:36] <IdleOne> Dissident, hmm I dont know about that
[05:36] <james_> .wav sometimes
[05:36] <chris_> its making me mad
[05:36] <Dissident> mmkay
[05:36] <IdleOne> chris_, ahhh dont know that either sorry
[05:36] <vez> do u know how to change mps to .wav?
[05:37] <vez> mp3 to .wav
[05:37] <Madpilot> chris_, I think Linux/PPC is SOL for Flash
[05:37] <vanRijn> so, if I want to try alsa's 1.0.11rc4 kernel modules, do I have to build a new kernel?  Or can I simply leave the existing default ubuntu kernel and only make install the new alsa modules?
[05:37] <chris_> frickin a
[05:37] <IdleOne> vez, google convert mp3 to wav
[05:37] <james_> you'd need a convertor of some type
[05:37] <lwizardl> ok now how do i start a java based app
[05:37] <chris_> well then is there another web browser that supports linux ppc?
[05:37] <jdmpike> I am looking for a good howto to get MonoDevelop installed in Ubunut
[05:38] <Madpilot> chris_, it's not a web browser thing, it's a Flash thing - Macromedia has never produce a nix/PPC version
[05:38] <IdleOne> !mono
[05:38] <ubotu> somebody said mono was implementation of .NET framework on linux.  For details http://www.go-mono.com
[05:38] <chris_> grrr
[05:38] <james_> i'm just frusterated that i can't get my PCMIA Belkin card to work with Ubunut
[05:38] <vanRijn> chris_: yeah, tell me about it
[05:39] <vanRijn> chris_: that's about the only thing left on my powerbook that doesn't work the way I want it to.  flash and w32codecs

[05:42] <thecrazymonk> truz24: yes
[05:42] <RayFredPip> IdleOne, I am in Kubuntu desktop!
[05:42] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Cloud_tm: have you installed the libavformat-dev package from the repository?
[05:42] <IdleOne> Cloud_tm, sudo apt-get install  libavformat-dev
[05:42] <lwizardl> how do i start a java based application on linux
[05:42] <IdleOne> RayFredPip,  :)
[05:43] <Cloud_tm> I a;ready have!
[05:43] <RayFredPip> IdleOne, And there is no menus for me! right?
[05:43] <Cloud_tm> Reading package lists... Done   Building dependency tree... Done   libavformat-dev is already the newest version.  0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[05:43] <IdleOne> RayFredPip, click on the K bottom left corner of the screen
[05:43] <Madpilot> lwizardl, "java -jar nameofjar.jar" (assuming it's a jar file)
[05:44] <IdleOne> Cloud_tm, I guess stepmania isnt looking for the file where ubuntu keeps it
[05:44] <RayFredPip> IdleOne, haha! Another style
[05:44] <Cloud_tm> sigh
[05:44] <Cloud_tm> Ok, hold on a tic let me try to other version
[05:44] <Cloud_tm> Dowloading...
[05:44] <Cloud_tm> Ok lets see here
[05:44] <RayFredPip> IdleOne, Hi,do you often chat here ?
[05:45] <IdleOne> yes
[05:45] <mikeo1> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12018 anyone know wine?
[05:45] <RayFredPip> IdleOne, how long have you been with linux?
[05:46] <harisund> Is there a way I can ask hidden files (such as .something) to be included when tarring a folder?
[05:46] <IdleOne> almost 2 months now
[05:46] <RayFredPip> IdleOne, So in the past you worked with Windows OS?
[05:46] <IdleOne> harisund, man tar?
[05:47] <thecrazymonk> truz24: any ideas?
[05:47] <_jason> harisund: should include them by default
[05:47] <RayFredPip> IdleOne, what time is it theree ?
[05:47] <harisund> _jason: Nope it doesn't ..
[05:47] <IdleOne> RayFredPip, yes. but if you want to discuss other topics that arent ubuntu help related join #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:47] <_jason> harisund: I just tried it before I said that though
[05:47] <vez> ok so I have found and downloaded a music converter how do I install it?
[05:48] <Cloud_tm> BWahhhhHHHHH!!!!!  A new error.  I jsut had to configure my stupid X server for this video card now it says this: Crash reason: Segmentation fault - address not mapped at 0x00000000

[05:49] <IdleOne> RayFredPip,  it is 23:50
[05:49] <RayFredPip> IdleOne, Thank you for your help!
[05:49] <IdleOne> !tell lwizardl about java
[05:49] <D4mJ3w> Anyone alive? :]
[05:49] <harisund> _jason: Could you please give me the syntax if you don't mind? Here's what I am trying to do. I am in ~/backup and I am trying to do a "tar -czvf backup.tgz *" but the hidden files / folders in ~/backup are not being archived
[05:49] <IdleOne> RayFredPip, np :)
[05:49] <lwizardl> http://pastebin.com/652832
[05:49] <D4mJ3w> Can anyone help me with my WEP?  What is it exactly and how do I find it to connect my wiress internet?
[05:49] <_jason> harisund: ah well if you do it that way :P  Then you should do * .* instead of just *
[05:50] <thecrazymonk> truz24: you there?
[05:50] <truz24> thecrazymonk, yes.
[05:50] <thecrazymonk> truz24: k
[05:50] <_jason> harisund: it may be easier to just do tar czf backups.tar.gz ~/backup
[05:50] <MrData> oh, boy. I have Breezy. I tried to use a Dapper package with Synaptic by adding the repository. It was because I wanted to have better printer functionality. It didn't work. I removed some of it. I reinstalled some of the Breezy. Now, I can't print at all. I think my Python has problems. Would anyone like to see a log? I tried to force versions back to Breezy, but Synaptic wants to uninstall lots of (apparently to me) unrelated
[05:50] <MrData>  stuff when I try that. It's a mess.
[05:51] <D4mJ3w> Can anyone help me with my WEP?  What is it exactly and how do I find it to connect my wiress internet?
[05:51] <vez> gosh how do I change directory in terminal
[05:51] <_jason> vez: cd
[05:51] <MrData> vez: cd command
[05:51] <_jason> ubotu: tell vez about cli
[05:51] <harisund> _jason I am sorry I didn't get the difference.
[05:52] <Cloud_tm> Hey Guys...
[05:52] <truz24> thecrazymonk, I don't recommend opening up ftp remotely, but you don't need a gui verison
[05:52] <MrData> I know what I did wrong in Synaptic, and I have a log, but I don't know how to undo it.
[05:52] <truz24> thecrazymonk, you can try proftpd
[05:52] <Cloud_tm> Can ANYONE EVER suggest a DDR program other than StepMania and Pydance for Linux
[05:52] <truz24> it is a ftp daemon
[05:52] <Cloud_tm> There ahs to be an alternative >_>
[05:52] <D4mJ3w> Can anyone help me with my WEP?  What is it exactly and how do I find it to connect my wiress internet?
[05:52] <thecrazymonk> truz24: i tried installing that but it said it couldnt open the standalone nor the other mode
[05:52] <harisund> D4mJ3w: Where are you trying to connect to the internet?
[05:52] <harisund> Are you at your home?
[05:52] <IdleOne> !tell D4mJ3w about wireless
[05:52] <IdleOne> !tell D4mJ3w about wifi
[05:53] <_jason> harisund: well I think it is easier for you to just go to ~ and do the command: tar czf backup.tar.gz ~/backup     .  But if you want to do it your way you could do: tar czf backups.tar.gz * .*
[05:53] <D4mJ3w> Im using a linksys wireless G adapter
[05:53] <D4mJ3w> I got it all set up, I'm in the netword connections part
[05:53] <D4mJ3w> just need to enter my WEP
[05:54] <D4mJ3w> Dont need drivers, ndiswrapper, I got all that :p
[05:54] <D4mJ3w> just need to figure out my WEP :]
[05:54] <mikeo1> anyone?
[05:54] <mikeo1> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12018
[05:54] <IdleOne> lwizardl, use the wiki page that ubotu sent you cuz that doesnt look right
[05:54] <truz24> thecrazymonk, you could also try vsftpd
[05:55] <MrData> mikeol, WEP is Wireless security
[05:55] <mikeo1> mrData: mine problem has to do with wine
[05:56] <D4mJ3w> MRData, how do I find my WEP?
[05:56] <thinkl00p> how would i find out if my network card is supported by ubuntu
[05:57] <D4mJ3w> how do I know if its hexidecimal or ASCII?
[05:57] <D4mJ3w> :[
[05:57] <thecrazymonk> truz24: alright thanks
[05:57] <Remy> D4mJ3w if it only goes up to h then it's hex :)
[05:57] <blair> I just installed the fglrx ATI drivers, and when I open up something that uses openGL, it just opens up the a black screen
[05:59] <MrData> Remy: Hex only goes up to F?
[05:59] <D4mJ3w> Remy: how do I find out what my WEP is? :p
[05:59] <MrData> Oct goes up to 8.
[05:59] <tsharpe62> Hello gang
[06:00] <blair> anyone know if theres anything I can do about my driver problem? openGL worked with the other ATI drivers, but it was really slow.
[06:00] <tsharpe62> I'm guessing this place is a little different than yahoo and aol, huh?
[06:00] <jesus_> hey im tryin to setup my 2nd monitor...can anyone help with this?
[06:01] <IdleOne> is there windows media player support for linux? and app i can install or a codecs?
[06:02] <MrData> IdleOne: There's support, but I think it's only legal outside of the USA.
[06:02] <IdleOne> tsharpe62, yup it is different and better in alot of ways
[06:02] <IdleOne> MrData, Im not in the us at the momment
[06:02] <mlowe> where are mime definitions stored for firefox ?
[06:02] <D4mJ3w> How do I find out what my WEP is? Someone....anyone!!! :]
[06:03] <MrData> IdleOne: I'm sure there's something about that in the "Ubuntu Document Storage Facility". http://doc.gwos.org/
[06:03] <Rhine> Does anyone know why when i run Rhythm box it crahses at start?
[06:03] <IdleOne> MrData, Ill check it out thanks
[06:04] <blair> well, can anyone tell me how i can break out of an application that goes fullscreen? everytime my openGL messes up i have to hard reboot, and that sucks
[06:05] <vez> bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('      k im pretty sure i got this becuase of the spaces in the name
[06:05] <vez> anyway to bypass or fix
[06:05] <blair> something like Alt-Tab in windows?
[06:05] <Madpilot> blair, Alt+Tab should work, just like in MS (some apps do seem to block alt-tab, though)
[06:06] <MrData> IdleOne: You might also try http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ , which installs lots of common add-ons.
[06:06] <Rhine> Can someone help me with Rythmbox it crashes when it loads
[06:06] <madewokherd> blair: if nothing else works, as a last resort you can restart X with ctrl+alt+backspace (but you should be able to do something else)
[06:06] <Madpilot> Rhine, when it loads what format?
[06:06] <Rhine> Nothing just when i open it from the app menu
[06:06] <carthik> blair, worst case, switch to the console, find the offending app's pid using ps aux | grep app-name and kill that app using kill pid
[06:06] <MrData> Is there a Synaptic expert in the house? I messed up, but I have a log, but I don't know how to go back.
[06:06] <blair> k, yeah, i tried ctrl+alt backspace last time it locked up, and it failed, i need to check and see that i didn't disable it i guess
[06:07] <carthik> MrData, please post the log at the pastebin and ask, someone might be able to help
[06:07] <blair> thanks though, i'll give it a try
[06:08] <tonyyarusso> How do I create a bootable iso from a directory? It didn't flag as bootable before.
[06:08] <carthik> Rhine, somehting unusual you did, or that happened last time rhythmbox worked fine?
[06:08] <Rhine> nope this is my first time ive ever booted with Ubuntu o.O
[06:08] <IdleOne> welcome Rhine
[06:09] <Rhine> :)
[06:09] <Madpilot> Rhine, hmm, RB works here (and welcome to Ubuntu, btw!)
[06:09] <babo> Guys can someone give me a quick hint on the whole \n versus \r\n thing ? One is windows right ... ? Would it matter if it were only email text ?
[06:09] <Rhine> Do i have to open it by opening a song file?
[06:09] <babo> I mean a browser would parse both right ?
[06:09] <Rhine> I need my music im a junkie :O
[06:09] <Madpilot> Rhine, no, it should run on it's own, it's got File->Open like any other app
[06:09] <clever> how do i force unmount something?
[06:10] <Madpilot> Rhine, there's lots of other music playes - I like Muine, for example.
[06:10] <Rhine> Heres what it says "the Application "rhythmbox" has quit unexpectedly"
[06:10] <Rhine> and then the whole imform developer thing
[06:11] <Rhine> Im kinda idiotic when it comes to installing applications so far i have only done flash succesfully o.o
[06:11] <Madpilot> Rhine, this: open a terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) and then type 'rhythymbox
[06:11] <ifas> hai semua
[06:11] <Madpilot> (without that quote I stuck in front of the app name...)
[06:12] <jdmpike> Any AMD64 users in here?
[06:12] <rogerio> Hi there...
[06:12] <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: Would you happen to know the answer to my mkisofs q?  Not sure how to flag it as bootable.
[06:12] <jdmpike> I just ordered an AMD64 box, it will be here shortly
[06:12] <Madpilot> Rhine, that might give you more error messages
[06:12] <jdmpike> Trying to figure out what distro(s) I should put on it...
[06:12] <Double_D> could someone help with me a macromedia flash plugin problem?
[06:13] <Madpilot> tonyyarusso, I'm not even sure what mkisofs is, tbh... :P
[06:13] <Double_D> i downloaded the non-free flash plugin, but it doesn't seem to work.  i still that 'click to download plugin' crap in my browser.
[06:13] <Double_D> any ideas?
[06:13] <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: Ah, dang.  Makes a .iso from a directory of files.
[06:13] <tonyyarusso> Been trying to get an answer for a few hours with no luck.
[06:13] <Madpilot> !tell Double_D about flash
[06:13] <rogerio> I have a student of mine that started to translate some applications (abiword and kwrite, presently) and I would like to know what would be needed for him to join the translation team for Brazilian Portuguese...
[06:13] <Rhine> It said "GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:141: failed to allocate 758461487 bytes
[06:13] <Rhine> "
[06:14] <Double_D> madpilot: thanks.
[06:14] <Rhine> and then aborting...
[06:14] <rogerio> We have a lot of desire to get Ubuntu working fine with our country's low-end computers...
[06:15] <rogerio> If anybody could give us the proper orientation, we would love to follow it...
[06:15] <Madpilot> rogerio, there's a channel for Ubuntu Brazil -  #ubuntu-br
[06:15] <carthik> rogerio, he can help translate at rosetta.
[06:15] <_jason> rogerio: the people in #ubuntu-br might know right away, but I'll search the wiki/launchpad real quick to see if I can find the contact
[06:16] <Madpilot> Rhine, hmm - something is obviously messed up, but I'm not sure what... sorry
[06:16] <rogerio> _jason, he has already translated quite a bunch of strings in Rosetta, but it seems that they are still not "accepted"...
[06:16] <B_166-ER-X> What ? Daper has been delayed ? when ? why ? how ?
[06:16] <rogerio> He is willing to put a good amount of work for on that..
[06:16] <_jason> !dapper
[06:16] <ubotu> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion :)
[06:16] <nicem> hi all
[06:16] <Rhine> Would a small HD make a difference Im using a 6Gb just to get acqauinted
[06:16] <Rhine> well im atm trying to install it again
[06:17] <Rhine> im in the directory
[06:17] <Rhine> and i ran ./configure
[06:17] <Rhine> then the install notes dont really make sense after that
[06:17] <rogerio> Madpilot, thanks for the information.
[06:17] <Madpilot> rogerio, there's a translators mailing list, I know - see https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/
[06:17] <rogerio> I'll join it right now...
[06:17] <MrData> I'd like to undo my Synaptic mistakes. Log at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12019 . When I try to force versions to undo what I did, it wants to uninstall lots of (apparently unrelated) stuff.
[06:17] <rogerio> Madpilot, does he have to subscribe to that to be accepted?
[06:18] <Madpilot> Rhine, use Synaptic to try and uninstall & re-install RB
[06:18] <bucketfan99> holy moly this is a big channel
[06:18] <Madpilot> rogerio, I don't know - I'm a unilingual English speaker who knows zero about translations :(
[06:18] <rogerio> Also, what exactly would one have to do to be an uploader for the Universe/Multiverse sections of ubuntu?
[06:18] <jdmpike> people love Ubuntu
[06:18] <bucketfan99> hay i am trying to get dualhead going on a dell8500 with ubuntu
[06:18] <CaptainMorgan> me to
[06:18] <bucketfan99> its wizard Failed
[06:18] <rogerio> Madpilot, no problems...
[06:18] <bucketfan99> FAILED!!
[06:19] <crimsun> rogerio: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU
[06:19] <_jason> rogerio: contact the people involved here I think https://launchpad.net/people/ubuntu-l10n-pt-br
[06:19] <Rhine> Well it says it has to affect other packages so im kind of hesitant
[06:19] <rogerio> crimsun, thanks for the orientation...
[06:19] <Madpilot> Rhine, what does un-installing RB affect?
[06:19] <rogerio> crimsun, I already have some packages of mine and I am "upstream" for some programs...
[06:20] <MrData> rogerio: Thanks for contributions.
[06:20] <crimsun> rogerio: follow our NewSoftware link.
[06:20] <rogerio> For instance, I'm upstream for http://algorithms.berlios.de/
[06:20] <Rhine> Ubuntu Desktop
[06:20] <bucketfan99> hey why can't i install wajig on ubunut
[06:20] <bucketfan99> w/ apt
[06:20] <bucketfan99> anyone
[06:20] <Madpilot> Rhine, ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package, it isn't all that important
[06:20] <Rhine> Oh ok
[06:20] <crimsun> bucketfan99: have you enabled universe?
[06:21] <MrData> Rhine: Just make sure you reinstall one of the desktops before you upgrade!!
[06:21] <tonyyarusso> bucketfan99: Because you haven't enabled universe.
[06:21] <Madpilot> !tell bucketfan99 about universe
[06:21] <Rhine> MrData Wanna walk me through that one o.o
[06:21] <bucketfan99> Ah you are wonderful
[06:21] <bucketfan99> thanks
[06:21] <Rhine> Ok thats uninstalled now
[06:21] <bucketfan99> too bad im stuck in console cuz of this jacked X config :)
[06:21] <Madpilot> Rhine, the only time ubuntu-desktop matters is when it's time to upgrade to the next release of Ubuntu - so in June before you upgrade to Dapper, make sure to re-install ubuntu-desktop
[06:22] <MrData> Rhine: The desktops, like Ubuntu desktop, Kubuntu, etc. are just bookkeeping to make sure everything gets installed. They can be safely removed, but you should have one reinstalled before upgrading to the next version of Ubuntu, or some things can break.
[06:22] <Rhine> Oh ok yeah i read it just now
[06:22] <Rhine> You guys are incredibly nice :)
[06:22] <trae_> how do i create an empty project with kdevelop
[06:22] <trae_> its got all these nice templates
[06:22] <Rhine> So what should i try instead of RB
[06:23] <trae_> but no empty project
[06:23] <Madpilot> Rhine, try Muine (it's in the Universe repo) it's simpler than RB, but suits me just fine
[06:24] <Madpilot> Rhine, but do try re-installing RB, it really should work...
[06:24] <Rhine> Your helping throught he install then
[06:24] <MrData> Man, I'm really in a jam. If I do too much, I might make the problem worse. [sigh]  Maybe I should just download the Live CD and work from that for a while.
[06:24] <Rhine> Do i cd to the place its at or the actual folder
[06:25] <NxNxMox> how do i configure my printer to work with ubuntu
[06:25] <Madpilot> Rhine, just re-install it thru Synaptic
[06:25] <Rhine> Oh ok
[06:25] <Madpilot> !tell NxNxMox about NxNxMox
[06:25] <MrData> NxNxMox: System | Administration | Printing
[06:25] <Madpilot> !tell NxNxMox about printers
[06:25] <Madpilot> ...bleh... i'm confusing the bot :P

[06:27] <ubuntu> anyone know?
[06:28] <Rhine> When I mark RB for installation then click apply it pops open a window and then changes to a window showing my desktop
[06:28] <Rhine> where do I go from there
[06:28] <Madpilot> Rhine, you mean Synaptic closes, or what?
[06:28] <codecaine> hi is there anyways to change the color of the font to blue when unbuntu is first booting up doing checks?
[06:29] <nicem> i have an ubuntu live cd , can i use it to test badblocks on my disk?
[06:29] <Rhine> no it stays open the whole time but it pops open my cdrom
[06:29] <mikodelacruz> when i was still using windows, i can listen to music from radioblogclub.com without buffering, i dont know why now that i am using ubuntu, it seems to be buffering when i am switching websites
[06:29] <felix_> somebody speak spanish??
[06:29] <sfar> !es
[06:29] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[06:29] <Madpilot> Rhine, you need to remove the Ubuntu install CD from your sources - in Synaptic, go Setings->Repositories - the first entry should be CD, just remove it
[06:31] <felix_> alguien de Venezuela??
[06:31] <B_166-ER-X> !dapper

[06:32] <NxNxMox> how do i get ssh to work on my system
[06:32] <NxNxMox> like allow someone to ssh into my computer
[06:33] <Rhine> It says Could not makr all packages for installation of upgreade
[06:33] <nicem> i have an ubuntu live cd , can i use it to test badblocks on my disk?
[06:33] <IdleOne> Madpilot, thanks for Muine :)
[06:33] <nicem> Madpilot any idea?
[06:34] <Madpilot> IdleOne, no problem! RB has a lot more features, but Muine is a really nice, simple album player
[06:34] <Madpilot> Rhine, that's Synaptic trying to re-install RB?
[06:34] <IdleOne> Madpilot, RB freaked out on me earlier had seizure or sumthing
[06:34] <Rhine> when i try to mark it for reinstallation that window pops up
[06:35] <ubuntu> any option to load the live-cd into RAM when booting? I can't find it
[06:35] <IdleOne> Madpilot, oh wow it even shows me album covers :)
[06:36] <sfar> ahaaa... rhythmbox
[06:36] <Madpilot> IdleOne, yeah, the Hoary version of RB wouldn't index my music collection once it got fairly large, so I discovered Muine
[06:37] <IdleOne> Madpilot, I normaly use xmms and dont have any complaints about it but its nice to have a few options available
[06:37] <Madpilot> Rhine, that's odd - let's check your sources... close Synaptic, switch back to the terminal, and type "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[06:38] <Rhine> Done
[06:39] <tonyyarusso> How to flag an ISO as bootable?
[06:39] <Rhine> Tony change your BIOS
[06:39] <IamEthos_> is there any CAD software for Linux?
[06:40] <IamEthos_> *free CAD software for linux
[06:40] <tonyyarusso> Rhine: What?
[06:40] <Rhine> Hit F10 at startup or whatever pops up your Bios.
[06:40] <carthik> IamEthos, did comical work for ya?
[06:40] <IamEthos_> carthik: nope
[06:40] <Madpilot> Rhine, you're running Breezy, right? Ubuntu 5.10?
[06:40] <IamEthos_> let me get back to you about that
[06:40] <baconbacon> tonyyarusso, flag bootable as in flagging a partition?
[06:40] <carthik> IamEthos_ ohno
[06:40] <Rhine> Then go to Startup tab and change the order to CD first
[06:40] <Rhine> Mad Yes
[06:41] <tonyyarusso> Rhine: What does that have to do with what I'm doing though?
[06:41] <Madpilot> Rhine, OK, in the gedit window that opened, paste this over your existing sources.list: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 - then close gedit and restart Synaptic
[06:41] <Rhine> You said flag the iso as bootable
[06:42] <tonyyarusso> baconbacon: As in I have one iso that 'file foo.iso' returns "TheOpenCD-3.1.iso:       ISO 9660 CD-ROM filesystem data 'TheOpenCDv3.1 5.10 i386        ' (bootable)" and another that doesn't have the (bootable) at the end.
[06:42] <CNAP> i did a port scan of my local system and found port 999 (garcon) open. how do i shut this port down?
[06:42] <carthik> IamEthos_ strange, works for me...
[06:42] <tonyyarusso> Rhine: But what are you talking about?  This has nothing to do with my bios.
[06:42] <Rhine> Fine I thought you meant something else
[06:42] <tonyyarusso> Okay.
[06:43] <sfar> tonyyarusso: he thought you wanted to burn a ISO to a cd and then boot from it
[06:43] <sfar> *an
[06:44] <bimberi> CNAP: use 'sudo netatat -plunt' to find the process that has it open
[06:44] <bimberi> iamEthos_: qcad ?
[06:44] <tonyyarusso> sfar: I do.  And I can boot from a CD.  The problem is the particular iso, since I'm assuming the lack of (bootable) there will be an issue.
[06:45] <Rhine> Mad i get this no when i launch synaptic E: Type 'http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047' is not known on line 3 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:45] <Rhine> E: Unable to lock the list directory
[06:45] <IdleOne> hehe
[06:45] <IdleOne> Rhine, remove that line from your sources.list
[06:46] <racter> has anyone worked with DVR tools in linux?
[06:46] <Madpilot> Rhine, sorry - go to that website (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047) and paste the contents of it - in the brown square - into your sources
[06:46] <IdleOne> ^^^
[06:46] <Rhine> Awww lol o.O
[06:46] <IdleOne> Madpilot, :)
[06:47] <IdleOne> Madpilot, must be on the floor right now
[06:47] <Madpilot> no, I should have been clearer - Rhine isn't the first person to make that error
[06:47] <baconbacon> tonyyarusso, The booting section seems to be missing from your iso filesystem, you can have a look at how it works http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bootdisk-HOWTO/cd-roms.html
[06:47] <CNAP> bimberi:i can't find the process that nmap picked up
[06:47] <CaNsA> !seen anubis
[06:47] <ubotu> anubis<EMAIL_ADDRESS>was last seen on IRC in channel #ubuntu, 2h 40m 3s ago, saying: 'it really did help'.
[06:48] <baconbacon> tonyyarusso, are they supposed to be the same file?
[06:48] <bimberi> CNAP: hm, i'm not sure then - netstat should show you the open ports
[06:48] <Rhine> Same thing
[06:48] <Rhine> I think computers hate me
[06:49] <Rhine> This is what it gives me when i flag it for reinstall
[06:49] <rogerio> Madpilot, I'm now in contact with the person in charge of the translations for ubuntu-br. Thanks for the pointers.
[06:49] <Rhine> rhythmbox:
[06:49] <Rhine> Package rhythmbox has no available version, but exists in the database.
[06:49] <Rhine> This typically means that the package was mentioned in a dependency and never uploaded, has been obsoleted or is not available with the contents of sources.list
[06:49] <tonyyarusso> baconbacon: Will check out that link.  If you're referring to my example, that was a side-by-side comparison between one that I made and one that was made correctly, separate ISOs.
[06:49] <IdleOne> Rhine, sudo apt-get update
[06:49] <Madpilot> Rhine, in Syn, hit the Reload button
[06:49] <IdleOne> Rhine, then sudo apt-get update install rythmbox
[06:50] <Madpilot> IdleOne, he's running Synaptic already
[06:50] <IdleOne> oops
[06:50] <IdleOne> ok
[06:50] <IdleOne> follow Madpilot
[06:50] <Nopalin> anybody know how can i install nachOS?
[06:50] <IdleOne> besides that second command was errenious and stupid lol
[06:50] <Madpilot> IdleOne, hmm, it was a bit... creative... :P
[06:51] <IdleOne> :P
[06:51] <IamEthos_> anyone know of any CAD software for Linux
[06:51] <baconbacon> tonyyarusso, ok then theres probably a boot.img file on the orig cd
[06:51] <ubuntu> any option to load the live-cd into RAM when booting? I can't find it
[06:51] <OrTigaS> hi! i want to add a scanner. how?
[06:52] <IdleOne> !scanner
[06:52] <ubotu> For scanners in Ubuntu, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ScanningHowTo and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsScanners
[06:52] <tonyyarusso> baconbacon: There's a boot.bin?
[06:52] <Rhine> Yay i think this might actually work
[06:52] <baconbacon> tonyyarusso, thats probably it, check the size : 1.44mb?
[06:52] <Rhine> Nope =_=
[06:52] <Rhine> Same error
[06:52] <mareks> trying to compile php5, getting error: "checking lex output file root... ./configure: line 3246: lex: command not found"
[06:53] <Rhine> Im tryint a different program
[06:53] <IdleOne> Rhine, what error?
[06:53] <Rhine> i just need to listen to my beatles o.O
[06:53] <tonyyarusso> baconbacon: 2.0kb.
[06:53] <Rhine> GLib-ERROR **: gmem.c:141: failed to allocate 758461487 bytes
[06:53] <Rhine> aborting...
[06:53] <Madpilot> Rhine, Rolling Stones > Beatles :P - but it's odd that RB isn't working
[06:53] <Rhine> I like both
[06:54] <Madpilot> Rhine, search for Muine, try that
[06:54] <Rhine> http://www.last.fm/rhine23
[06:54] <Rhine> :p
[06:54] <IdleOne> Rhine, give Muine a shot it works great and easy to use
[06:54] <melaren> Is there a reason why it is so hard to burn a good Ubuntu image to a CD?
[06:54] <Rhine> Its not hard?
[06:54] <tonyyarusso> baconbacon: This is a Windows-related disk if that makes a difference.
[06:54] <baconbacon> tonyyarusso, ok then it's the boot catalog. follow the instructions at my url, it gives all you need to mkisofs correctly
[06:54] <Rhine> Type Alex Feinman into google he has an easy app to burn ISO's
[06:55] <tonyyarusso> baconbacon: Okay, I'll see if I understand that.  Thanks.
[06:55] <mareks> anyone know about my php5 compile error?
[06:55] <Rhine> Melaren are you having trouble actually burning the ISO to a blank cd?
[06:55] <Madpilot> Rhine, muine is easy to use & install - just hit the Search button in Synaptic, and type 'muine'
[06:55] <Rhine> yep im installing atm
[06:56] <Rhine> Im a quick learner
[06:56] <Rhine> just slow to start
[06:56] <Madpilot> melaren, which OS are you trying to burn in?
[06:56] <IdleOne> Rhine, that link doesnt work btw
[06:56] <mareks> trying to compile php5, getting an error: "error: checking lex output file root... ./configure: line 3246: lex: command not found" any help?
 yeah, usually when you type that someone is stupid to your little friends on-line they take off
[06:56] <IdleOne> Rhine, the last.fm link you gave
[06:56] <melaren> Rhine: no, the CDs just seem to fail during installation alot
[06:56] <tarawa> Rhine, service unavilable on Alan Feinman
[06:56] <melaren> madpilot: osx
[06:56] <Rhine> Hmm
[06:56] <tonyyarusso> Rhine: His site seems to be down.
[06:56] <Madpilot> melaren, have you checked the md5sum of the ISOs you downloaded?
[06:56] <tarawa> Alex
[06:56] <Rhine> Melaren try Downlaoding it again
[06:56] <Rhine> Alex
[06:56] <Rhine> No Alan
[06:57] <tarawa> Rhine, ISO Recorder v 2 Alex Feinman
[06:57] <Rhine> Yeah that one
[06:57] <Rhine> its very easy to use
[06:57] <Rhine> http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
[06:58] <tarawa> Rhine, he is back up
[06:58] <Rhine> http://www.last.fm/user/Rhine23/
[06:58] <Rhine> Im a Classic Rock Junkie
[06:58] <ooazzaoo> anyone know of a parameter to pass to grub that disables AGP?!
[06:58] <OrTigaS> how about if my scanner is only for window$? it can still run to linux?
[06:59] <madewokherd> it depends on the scanner
[06:59] <melaren> Rhine: I dunno, it just seems like the CDs are acting fussy with the drives I have.  I have one drive that usually works fine.  ...but the rest of the drives seem to be flaky when installing ubuntu, even though they can install Windows, other versions of linux without a problem.  I dunno, maybe I'm just crazy.
[06:59] <Rhine> How do i access Muine once its installed i cant find it
[06:59] <mikodelacruz> If i have 3 firefox windows open, and wanting to swtich from window1 to window2, its takes 2-3 seconds before it will switch (during that 2 seconds hold everything seems to pause) help
[06:59] <Rhine> Hmm that seems odd
[06:59] <Madpilot> Rhine, Applications->Sound & Video -> Muine Music Player
[06:59] <OrTigaS> i have this visioneer 4200usb scanner. it didnt say theres a linux driver on their website
[06:59] <dli_> mikodelacruz, running out of memory? "free -m" to check
[07:00] <Rhine> There it is now
[07:00] <Rhine> wasnt there last time i check
[07:00] <Rhine> <---dumb
[07:00] <Rhine> :)
[07:00] <Madpilot> !tell OrTigaS about scanners
[07:00] <Rhine> Now a moe daunting task getting my ATI card to work XD
[07:00] <mikodelacruz> i typed free -m and seeing numbers now, dont know what it means
[07:01] <OrTigaS> i'm reading on that site now
[07:01] <philipacamaniac> weechat is teh bomb, I wish x was working though...
[07:01] <mikodelacruz> it says
[07:01] <Madpilot> !tell Rhine about ati
[07:01] <mikodelacruz>              total       used       free     shared    buffers     cached
[07:01] <Rhine> Oh thanks and how do i mount my windows drive
[07:01] <ooazzaoo> anyone know how to disable agp from grub?
[07:01] <mikodelacruz> Mem:           249        242          6          0          0         30
[07:02] <mikodelacruz> -/+ buffers/cache:        211         38
[07:02] <Madpilot> !tell Rhine about windowsdrives
[07:02] <mikodelacruz> Swap:          729        213        516
[07:02] <mikodelacruz> thats it
[07:02] <Madpilot> mikodelacruz, do NOT paste here - use pastebin next time!
[07:02] <mikodelacruz> sorry
[07:02] <dli_> mikodelacruz, firefox uses a lot of memory, and you should restart it from time to time, and don't open too many windows at the same time
[07:03] <dli_> mikodelacruz, or, you can buy more memory for your box
[07:03] <mikodelacruz> or
[07:03] <mikodelacruz> ok
[07:03] <tonyyarusso> baconbacon: These instructions require dealing with a floppy.
[07:04] <Madpilot> or stop using Firefox - Opera has no memory leaks :P
[07:04] <stunit77> server -ssl &2
[07:04] <ben32167> how will i make synaptic to get lastest version info
[07:05] <stunit77> ctcp %2 VERSION
[07:05] <Rhine> How do i make my windows partition viewable on the desktop?
[07:05] <Rhine> Opera doesnt have mousegestures
[07:06] <Rhine> thats why i still use FF
[07:07] <Madpilot> Rhine, um, Opera *invented* mousegestures - try right-mouse-button+(move the mouse left or right) - that's forward & back
[07:07] <Rhine> pssh to late im an addict
[07:07] <Rhine> does it have foxytunes?
[07:07] <ben32167> rhine what do you mean by vievable?
[07:07] <Rhine> Have an icon to double click
[07:07] <ben32167> create a link
[07:07] <ben32167> and copy it to desktop
[07:08] <Rhine> Says operation not permitted
[07:09] <ben32167> then sudo nautilus
[07:09] <ben32167> then copy link
[07:10] <nicem> is it safe to run badblocks in rescue mode?
[07:10] <IamEthos_> how do you run the LiveCD on Mac?
[07:10] <Rhine> Ben32167 Its a windows drive
[07:10] <IamEthos_> there's no advanced boot menu
[07:11] <IamEthos_> and the hard drive starts before the cd-rom drive
[07:11] <Rhine> its read only atm and i cant write a link to it
[07:11] <Rhine> Hehe My documents folder is 3 times bigger than my Ubuntu drive
[07:12] <tonyyarusso> IamEthos_: On x86 machines you change the boot priority in the bios - is there something similar?
[07:12] <pinkmermaid> :(
[07:12] <Madpilot> Rhine, is it an NTFS drive?
[07:12] <pinkmermaid> Okay, so I was just watching a DVD.
[07:12] <Rhine> Yes
[07:12] <stunit77> mac cpu's cant read i386 archetecture
[07:12] <baconbacon> tonyyarusso, its just a floppy image
[07:12] <Rhine> Is there a console command to write the link directly to it?
[07:12] <Madpilot> Rhine, then you're not going to be able to write to it from Ubuntu
[07:12] <pinkmermaid> And I'm a few minutes in, and suddently there's a popup: "Source appears to be encrypted, are you trying to watch a DVD without libdvdcss?"
[07:12] <tonyyarusso> baconbacon: What's just a floppy image?
[07:12] <Rhine> damn so i have to navi it all the time?
[07:12] <tonyyarusso> baconbacon: Sorry, but I'm a bit confused.
[07:12] <phrophrosty> can i get raid1 to work without reformating the hdd thats in use?
[07:13] <IamEthos_> tonyyarusso: not that I can find
[07:13] <baconbacon> tonyyarusso, the standard needs a floppy image so the bios can boot from this "floppy"
[07:13] <IamEthos_> I'm used to x86 too
[07:13] <Madpilot> Rhine, Linux can't write safely to NTFS, it's not just Ubuntu
[07:13] <Rhine> Er you know what i just did i dragged it to the top bar and then down to the desktop
[07:13] <Rhine> it made a link
[07:13] <Rhine> im happy
[07:13] <Rhine> :)
[07:13] <carthik> Rhine, could you please type longer sentences instead of single words?
[07:13] <Rhine> Stupidity FTW
[07:13] <tonyyarusso> baconbacon: Hmm.  How would I obtain such a thing?  (And why wasn't it included in the package I downloaded anyway?)
[07:14] <Rhine> Ill try
[07:14] <carthik> ty, Rhine :)
[07:14] <baconbacon> tonyyarusso, the floppy image must be somewhere on the original cd, it has to boot after all
[07:14] <Rhine> I was just incredibly happy navigating my documents folder is a nightmare
[07:15] <tonyyarusso> baconbacon: And it has to be a file somewhere in there that's exactly 1.44 MB?
[07:16] <Madpilot> Rhine, you can browse NTFS and read/copy stuff out of it, but not read, just so you know
[07:16] <tonyyarusso> baconbacon: So if I were to look at the other ones that are marked as bootable by file they should have a file that size somewhere.
[07:16] <Rhine> Yeah I read the thing you !tell 'd me
[07:17] <WebLOCH> hey all, im trying to work out why mplayer skews audio but totem doesnt, anyone got any advice?
[07:17] <mikodelacruz> how do i clean the cache everytime i reboot
[07:18] <baconbacon> tonyyarusso, i dont think it has to be 1.44, but it surely must be <1.44
[07:18] <phrophrosty> how do i get raid1 working in an up and running system?
[07:18] <tonyyarusso> baconbacon: Okay..
[07:18] <baconbacon> it should be semi-obvious
[07:19] <baconbacon> like on ubuntu cd, correct me but theres boot.cat catalog and isolinux.bin image file in /isolinux
[07:19] <tonyyarusso> baconbacon: Thing is, I'm not really seeing that on these other ones.
[07:19] <Rhine> Sry I forgot to thank everyone thanks for your hard work in getting a linux newbie like me running fine
[07:20] <baconbacon> tonyyarusso, yeah well its for windows software isnt it
[07:20] <basheer> does anyone have a logitech webcam?
[07:20] <bosco> does anyone know anything abuot graphics as a background in terminal
[07:21] <tonyyarusso> baconbacon: Yes.
[07:21] <IdleOne> rhine what was that last.fm link?
[07:22] <Marlun> How do I disable and enable a network connection (eth0) from terminal?
[07:23] <phrophrosty> marlun, ifdown
[07:23] <Wizzy_Kidd> http://lanceit.com/temp/index.php
[07:23] <Wizzy_Kidd> opinion someone
[07:23] <baconbacon> tonyyarusso, If you don't have or cant have a boot catalog and image file, you got to make one, I can't help you much w/ that, sorry, check for how-to's
[07:23] <bosco> does anyone know anything abuot graphics as a background in terminal
[07:23] <tonyyarusso> baconbacon: All right.
[07:23] <carthik> Marlun, sudo ifdown eth0   and then ifup similarly
[07:23] <Marlun> phrophrosty, carthik: thanks! =)
[07:24] <IdleOne> bosco, click edit in terminal the current profile
[07:24] <bosco> IdleOne,  it is not that
[07:24] <IdleOne> s/the/then
[07:24] <bosco> IdleOne,  i have a background allready
[07:24] <carthik> Wizzy_Kidd, no spam please

[07:24] <kuja> I've got an ipod mounted like this, but in actual it's read-only
[07:24] <Wizzy_Kidd> carthik: does that look like spam
[07:24] <kuja> It says `rw' so I should be able to write to it, what's up?
[07:25] <bosco> IdleOne,  and it is so small that it makes more that one if it and when i compile or update it moves with the text and eats away at my proccer how do i get the image to stay stilll
[07:25] <Madpilot> Wizzy_Kidd, it looks like a random URL - explaining what it actually is might get a slightly better response...
[07:25] <carthik> Wizzy_Kidd, for an opinion please find some room where they discuss webdesign, or the cms you use.
[07:25] <madewokherd> kuja: maybe the user trying to write doesn't have permission to do it?
[07:26] <Madpilot> Wizzy_Kidd, if it's web design related, try #web, #css or #html
[07:26] <kuja> madewokherd: It was working yesterday... I think it might have to do with the "accidental drop" :P
[07:26] <christian> hello?
[07:26] <Wizzy_Kidd> http://lanceit.com/temp/index.php  carthik its on a temp dir and not even finished i simply jus asked a quick off topic question .... opinion please thats it
[07:26] <kuja> madewokherd: I've also tried making changes through sudo
[07:26] <bosco> IdleOne,  any ideas
[07:26] <madewokherd> hmm
[07:26] <christian> i am really new to linux
[07:26] <christian> as an engineer
[07:26] <madewokherd> was it plugged in when you started up yesterday?
[07:26] <christian> its probably a good thing i learn it
[07:26] <bosco> christian,  well that is good i was a newb just about 3 months ago
[07:26] <Madpilot> christian, hi welcome to Ubuntu
[07:26] <kuja> madewokherd: Yeah, it was syncing songs, then I accidentally dropped it in the process.
[07:27] <junior> Good Night everyone
[07:27] <christian> so i was wondering if anyone could help me with running windows programs like solidworks
[07:27] <christian> thank you
[07:27] <stunit77> WE all n00bs at one point
[07:27] <christian> i really like ubuntu
[07:27] <bosco> christian,  and now i know ubuntu like i have been using it for years
[07:27] <christian> i have some really basic knowledge of linux
[07:27] <carthik> christian some windows apps can run on Wine/Cedega/Crossover etc, but not all.
[07:27] <christian> and decent experience with Windows
[07:27] <bosco> christian,  my point is that it is really user friendly
[07:27] <carthik> !tell christian about wine
[07:27] <bosco> and it all works out of th box
[07:28] <bosco> and it all works out of th box
[07:28] <bosco> IdleOne,  and it is so small that it makes more that one if it and when i compile or update it moves with the text and eats away at my proccer how do i get the image to stay stilll
[07:28] <madewokherd> kuja: but you're sure you mounted it the same way both times? (if you insert it while the computer is on might not be the same as starting up with it inserted)
[07:28] <christian> i tried to get wine from sudo apt-get install wine
[07:28] <christian> but that didnt work
[07:28] <christian> so my friend told me to come onto IRC
[07:28] <bosco> christian,  it should have worked it is in wine
[07:28] <Madpilot> !info wine
[07:28] <ubotu> wine: (Microsoft Windows Compatibility Layer (Binary Emulator and Library)), section universe/otherosfs, is optional. Version: 0.0.20050725-0ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 14131 kB, Installed size: 55484 kB
[07:28] <kuja> madewokherd: Ubuntu does the mounting automatically.
[07:28] <bosco> christian,  it is in synaptic
[07:29] <Madpilot> christian, have you got Universe repository enabled?
[07:29] <madewokherd> kuja: yeah, but I'm pretty sure it does it differently
[07:29] <christian> i dont know
[07:29] <christian> like i said, i am just starting out
[07:29] <Wizzy_Kidd> !info cedega
[07:29] <christian> i cant even get an mp3 to play
[07:29] <bosco> christian, enable everything but the source
[07:29] <madewokherd> and I have a usb key that only works if I plug it in while the computer is running, but I think that's some crazy issue with the bios as it also affects windows..
[07:29] <bosco> christian,  in synaptic
[07:29] <sgleo87> I have an external hdd and put it into fstab with noauto but ubuntu still locks at "loading modules" and will not boot when the external hdd is connected
[07:29] <Madpilot> christian, Ubuntu doesn't play mp3 by default - it can't
[07:30] <christian> yea
[07:30] <christian> i tried using totem
[07:30] <Madpilot> !tell christian about mp3
[07:30] <kuja> madewokherd: I think it was the issue that I dropped the iPod (and it got disconnected) while it was syncing. Apparently after resetting the iPod settings to its factory default, it works now.
[07:30] <christian> and it said i need the plugins
[07:30] <kuja> madewokherd: Thanks
[07:30] <sfar> !tell christian about wine
[07:30] <sgleo87> I have an external hdd and put it into fstab with noauto but ubuntu still locks at "loading modules" and will not boot when the external hdd is connected. is there anythign I can do so it will boot with the hdd connected?
[07:30] <christian> ok
[07:31] <christian> sop one thing at a time
[07:31] <christian> first, the wine thing
[07:31] <christian> what do i need to do?
[07:31] <christian> here, this should help a little
[07:31] <madewokherd> would it be appropriate to point him to wine's official page about getting wine on debian/ubuntu?

[07:42] <Madpilot> Rhine, you get?
[07:42] <Rhine> There were no decoders found to handle the stream, you might need to install the corresponding pluins
[07:42] <carthik> Rhine, what file were you trying to play?
[07:42] <Madpilot> Rhine, what're you trying to play? what format?
[07:42] <Rhine> and it give none
[07:42] <Rhine> MP#
[07:42] <Rhine> MP3*
[07:43] <Madpilot> you need the mp3 stuff installed - Ubuntu can't play them by default
[07:43] <Rhine> Synaptic i guess then?

[07:45] <Marlun_> johanbr: ok, thanks
[07:45] <jerry> ok quick question anyone else ever have things disapeare and desktop lock up in ubuntu?
[07:45] <carthik> AngryElf, perhaps .etc.modules is what you are looking for
[07:45] <AngryElf> jerry, not all by themselves
[07:45] <sgleo87> ubuntu lock up when booting at "loading modules" when my external hdd is connected. Any way to fix that so I can leave the hdd plugged in the USB? I already set up fstab with noauto
[07:45] <jerry> then probably a conflict somewere
[07:46] <sfar> i have an annoyign issue.. the xmms "button" in the windowlist in the panel is constantly flashing.. anybody know why? :)
[07:46] <mojo> can i ask about a command line here?  trying to use find command to process list of files with xargs
[07:46] <sfar> *anyone
[07:46] <carthik> sgleo87, I think I saw a bug that describes something similar, but not sure - you can check and provide info to make it better
[07:46] <jerry> need to figure out what package i added thats doing it been happining alday
[07:46] <johanbr> sfar: That's a metacity "feature". Try clicking on that button.
[07:47] <jerry> clears up on reboot though
[07:47] <sfar> johanbr: doesnt help :|
[07:47] <sfar> its flashing constantly when xmms is stopped.. not when playing tho
[07:47] <noaXess> good morning..
[07:47] <carthik> jerry, are you using an ati/n-vidia graphics card, it might be a bug. you can search at launchpad.net
[07:48] <jerry> ya nvidia gforce 5200
[07:48] <sgleo87> carthik, would posting my fastab entry help?
[07:48] <NxNxMox> any good ftp programs for ubuntu?
[07:49] <carthik> sgleo87, sorry I couldn't help you with that
[07:49] <carthik> NxNxMox, use gftp
[07:49] <james050286> hey i'm bandnew to ubuntu and trying to install java runtime envir
[07:49] <johanbr> sfar: Hmm... it's not flashing for me, not sure why it does for you. In any case, I'd recommend that you switch to something nicer than xmms. Beep media player is basically xmms ported to gtk2, you might like that.
[07:49] <carthik> !tell james050286 about java
[07:49] <james050286> what about?
[07:49] <carthik> james050286, check the mesage from ubotu

[07:51] <jerry> i just installed jre
[07:51] <noaXess> i have downloaded and installed ubuntu 5.1 and then installed kubuntu-desktop.. is that the same as download and install kubuntu 5.1 ?
[07:51] <CaptainMorgan> how do I unzip a file.tar.gz that responds 'not in gzip format' ?
[07:51] <CaptainMorgan> !gzip
[07:51] <ubotu> Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, CaptainMorgan
[07:51] <jerry> that one i didnt do i used the bin
[07:51] <jerry> and ran in console
[07:51] <noaXess> what kde version is in kubuntu 5.1?
[07:52] <johanbr> CaptainMorgan: What does "file blah.tar.gz" tell you?
[07:52] <CaptainMorgan> omg ... empty.. how is that possible?
[07:52] <Rhine> Mad Pilot I love you my ears will forever be in your debt! Now listening to The Beatles- Revolution Hey Jude Bside
[07:52] <mikodelacruz> what is the best browser for ubuntu
[07:52] <Rhine> Thank you very much
[07:52] <jerry> havent had any problems with tar.gz they open fine for me
[07:52] <mojo> can i ask about a command line here?  trying to use find command to process list of files with xargs
[07:52] <fabri> i can't dowload torrents? bit torrent is unable to connect, what can i do?
[07:52] <johanbr> mojo: Go ahead.
[07:52] <Madpilot> Rhine, cool, glad it worked :P
[07:53] <jerry> i just find the selfinstallers easyer to work with not all that good at figureing out compileing yet
[07:53] <mojo> johanbr: thanks...
[07:53] <Rhine> Guten Nacht meine freuden
[07:53] <fabri> Guten Nacht
[07:53] <Rug> Howdy all
[07:53] <jerry> howdy
[07:54] <Rhine> Where is bittorrent located?
[07:54] <nerve_> how do i install mplayer from source on ubuntu? it seems that the gcc version installed from apt is 4.0
[07:54] <Madpilot> Rhine, Apps->Internet->BitTorrent
[07:54] <crimsun> nerve_: 4.0? 1.0 hasn't even been released.
[07:54] <Rhine> Dope yeah im blind... This will lead to bad things
[07:54] <crimsun> nerve_: err, sorry, misparse.
[07:54] <amyung> why does .bash_profile not work in ubuntu
[07:54] <johanbr> mojo: Exactly what are you trying to do?
[07:54] <Madpilot> Rhine, note that you need to get the .torrent files off the web
[07:55] <mojo> johanbr: "sudo find ./ -name \*.m4a -print0 | xargs -0 faad
[07:55] <mojo> " is supposed to process all the m4a files in the current dir with faad to out wav files for burning.  It processes only the first file.  truncating at the pipe gives the list output withn null seps.
[07:55] <crimsun> nerve_: just apt-get build-dep mplayer-586
[07:55] <Rhine> Yeah I know how to use it *sneaky eyes*
[07:55] <mikodelacruz> aside from FIREFOX what browser can i use for ubuntu
[07:55] <mojo> johanbr: so why does it only do the first file?
[07:55] <Rhine> Where should i place the bittorrent metafile?
[07:55] <LoCusF> amyung: you have to run sudo chown youruser:youruser .bash_history
[07:55] <sfar> how can i find out where a file named pci.ids is located?
[07:55] <amyung> i see
[07:55] <Madpilot> Rhine, anywhere you want
[07:56] <detox332> can someone tell me how to register my name please
[07:56] <amyung> why must i do this though
[07:56] <crimsun> sfar: dpkg -L pciutils|grep 'pci.ids'
[07:56] <Madpilot> !tell detox332 about register
[07:56] <LoCusF> amyung: its initially owned by root
[07:56] <sfar> detox332: /msg nickserv register <password>
[07:56] <amyung> i see, thank you
[07:56] <LoCusF> np
[07:56] <detox332> ok thank you

[07:57] <asdf25> anyone have Xgl working on a radeon 9800?
[07:57] <mojo> Hi BB!  Look at me!   Does that work?
[07:59] <applesaouse> Hi I'm new to ubuntu and so far I have to say I am thouroughly impressed.
[07:59] <NxNxMox> !google vnc and ubuntu
[07:59] <ubotu> Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, NxNxMox
[07:59] <Madpilot> NxNxMox, the bot doesn't do searches like that
[07:59] <carthik> applesaouse, welcome
[07:59] <NxNxMox> oh
[07:59] <Madpilot> !tell NxNxMox about vnc
[08:00] <applesaouse> Does anybody know if I add a second ethernet card, can I then serve an internet connection to a windows box?
[08:00] <applesaouse> thanx carthik
[08:00] <mojo> johanbr: no, i don't think so.  I mean, I'd have to type out every file name.  It's a full concert cd with lllooonnnggg filenames.  I want to process in batch to convert with faad.  That's all.  SHOULD be easy but i am not practiced in the art of casting with the shell (yet)... am trying.
[08:00] <hildog> detox332: /msg nickserv register <password>
[08:01] <AngryElf> carthik, i dont think /etc/modules is what i'm looking for, in fedora /etc/modprobe.conf contains aliases etc, and i believe it gets checked everytime modprobe is run....../etc/modules says that it contains modules that should be loaded at boot
[08:01] <johanbr> mojo: Right, but what I really meant is "are you sure that faad accepts more than one filename on the commandline?".
[08:01] <detox332> thanks, i was tired of getting that notice about being unregistered
[08:02] <mojo> johanbr: no, i don't think it does at all.  I thought xargs would repeatedly execute faad with each successive filename
[08:03] <detox332> anyone playing with dapper recently?
[08:03] <carthik_away> AngryElf, ah! /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
[08:03] <applesaouse> seeyall later going to install second nic
[08:03] <johanbr> mojo: Ahh, ok. No, xargs tries to stuff as many filenames in there as the shell will allow. Try piping the find command to "xargs -0 -n 1".
[08:03] <sfar> !dapper
[08:03] <ubotu> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion :)
[08:03] <Madpilot> detox332, for Dapper questions, try #ubuntu+1
[08:03] <AAA> applesaouse  yeah, just use packet forwarding and iptables
[08:03] <detox332> cool cool thanks guys
[08:03] <AAA> applesaouse  guidedog is a good tool for that
[08:03] <mojo> johanbr: -n 1 makes xargs newline then?
[08:03] <Systlaine> well this one seems more lively than #kubuntu :P
[08:03] <applesaouse> I kinda know what your saying but like all things I see what happens.
[08:04] <Rhine> I am back once again how do i plac aac and .m4a files?
[08:04] <johanbr> mojo: No, "-n 1" means that xargs will only use one filename at a time, invoking faad separately for each filename.
[08:04] <Rhine> !tell aac
[08:04] <Systlaine> i was wondering if anyone could help me with a x server issue..?
[08:04] <Rhine> nvm i think i got it
[08:04] <AAA> Rhine  mplayer with the proper codecs
[08:04] <Rhine> What codec though?
[08:05] <mojo> johanbr: AAAH!!  YOU ROCK!!!! That is just perfect.  You have no idea how much time you are gonna have saved me this coming week.  Much Luv
[08:05] <AAA> [faad]  AAC (MPEG2/4 Advanced Audio Coding)
[08:05] <johanbr> mojo: Glad to be of help. :)
[08:05] <mojo> johanbr: cool!
[08:06] <hildog> what's the best/easiest way to have a startup script enable DMA on my dvd drive ?
[08:06] <mojo> johanbr: It'd even been easier if k3b would just read the m4a's... but alas...
[08:06] <AAA> Rhine  have you tried mplayer?  I don't use the ubuntu .deb, but I bet it will play it out of the box
[08:06] <johanbr> hildog: Edit /etc/hdparm.conf .
[08:06] <Systlaine> anyone know how to get an ati x800 card to work in kubuntu? xserver keeps crashing for me....im using amd64 as well
[08:06] <Rhine> AAA i found the plugin if it works ill respong o.o
[08:07] <AngryElf> hmmmm, lspci does not show my tv-tuner......but i've got a complete myth install up and running, i think this is the root of a problem i'm having........where should i start looking to figure this out?
[08:07] <Rhine> I think it will though *crosses fingers*
[08:07] <AAA> Rhine  mplayer uber alles :)
[08:07] <Systlaine> ive tried what it said in the wiki and i still get the same error
[08:07] <Rhine> Is mplayer listed in Synaptic?
[08:08] <basheer> I could use a little help please
[08:08] <Systlaine> and ive looked at faqs for x and they were no help...so if someone could help me figure this out id appreciate it..
[08:09] <Rhine> AAA Which player there is many?
[08:09] <hildog> I edited hdparm.conf already for /dev/cdroms/cdrom0...do I also have to add a line for /dev/dvd if they're the same device ?
[08:09] <basheer> I have this webcam that I can not get to work
[08:09] <johanbr> hildog: No.
[08:09] <AAA> Rhine  mplayer is the name of the  program, if you  have universe in your sources.list just apt-get install mplayer
[08:10] <AAA> Rhine  there are a few choices for your binary depending on your arch
[08:10] <hildog> hmmmm...it didn't seem to work for some reason...do I have to uncomment every line after /dev/cdroms/cdrom0 or just the line that refers to dma ?
[08:10] <AAA> hildog  are you using devfs?
[08:11] <hildog> not sure
[08:11] <AAA> hildog  if not just use the example at the bottom and point it to /dev/hdxx
[08:11] <AAA> hildog  then you prolly aren't
[08:11] <Systlaine> ....anyone know a solution at all?
[08:11] <johanbr> hildog: The DMA line alone should do it. What does "sudo hdparm -d 1 /dev/cdroms/cdrom0" tell you?
[08:11] <hildog> that's what I did...uncommented the example at the bottom
[08:12] <Systlaine> ...guess not....sorry to bother you
[08:13] <hildog> heh...no such file or directory...but when I do the same thing for /dev/dvd, using_dma = 1 (on)...but only because I did it manually
[08:13] <AAA> hildog  then change that line in hdparm.conf to /dev/dvd
[08:14] <hildog> shoould I just...that's what I was about to ask
[08:14] <_Rappy_> I have a 250GB external HDD, which I would like to use for both win and ubuntu. Can I use one "universal" FS on it, or do I need to partition it for each OS and use diffrent FS?
[08:14] <elkbuntu> you need to partition it
[08:14] <jbrouhard> hey everyone.. is there a bug in the mysql-server package ?
[08:14] <jbrouhard> cause it's not allowing me to start it.. something about not creating the DB files or mysqld.sock ?
[08:14] <noaXess> does anybody has installed kubuntu dapper flight 6?
[08:15] <AAA> hildog  if you want to make sure it is working, do hdparm -d 0 /dev/dvd && /etc/init.d/hdparm restart ; hdparm -d /dev/dvd
[08:15] <AAA> it should then be on
[08:15] <johanbr> _Rappy_: Depends. Linux does not reliably write NTFS, and Windows does not understand Reiserfs/Ext3/whatever. Both Ubuntu and Win will read/write FAT but that won't give you optimal performance.
[08:16] <AAA> hildog  and as long it is in /etc/rc2.d/ you are good to go on reboot, it should be if you did not change it yourself
[08:16] <hildog> cool thanks I think I got it
[08:16] <dj-fu> You can read ext2/3 with Windows. There is a driver.
[08:17] <bnD> hiya, anyone know of a way to get a save-able list of all installed program? (planning a reinstall and would like to recover all my apps)
[08:17] <johanbr> bnD: dpkg --get-selections >packagelist
[08:17] <bnD> johanbr, thank you very much
[08:18] <PwcrLinux> Hi there
[08:18] <johanbr> bnD: You're welcome.
[08:19] <hawk_wolf> okay, I just logged back in, formerly know as applesouse
[08:19] <woodwizzle> Is there any way to get tango icons for the new power manager and wireless manager?
[08:19] <woodwizzle> eeer... i mean network manager
[08:19] <AAA> johanbr  dpkg -l will also give you the version =p
[08:20] <NxNxMox> how do i turn on tightvnc
[08:20] <OrTigaS> hi i want to listen to internet radio(FM/AM) but it only shows playing but no sounds on it.
[08:20] <NxNxMox> after i installed ti
[08:20] <hawk_wolf> I installed the second nic and activated it. Do i need to have a x-over cable, or can I go through a hub?
[08:20] <johanbr> woodwizzle: Not sure if those icons even exist.
[08:20] <_Rappy_> thanks johanbr and others who replied :)
[08:20] <AAA> hawk_wolf  it doesn't matter as long as you have a link
[08:21] <woodwizzle> johanbr I think some of them do. I know there are battery icons
[08:21] <bimberi> NxNxMox: try 'tightvncserver' in a terminal
[08:21] <hawk_wolf> k, I have a link, at least I think I do.
[08:21] <OrTigaS> but it plays with a video
[08:21] <PwcrLinux> Cat5 straignt, the router have auto detection either straight or X-over
[08:21] <AAA> hawk_wolf  mii-tool -i eth1
[08:22] <hawk_wolf> I don't have a router just a hub, and I need to share a cable x-nection
[08:22] <PwcrLinux> ah
[08:22] <AAA> hawk_wolf  assuming eth1 is the new nic and is up, that will give you the link status
[08:22] <hawk_wolf> So I'm trying to set my comp as the router. It says its activated.
[08:22] <OrTigaS> any idea?
[08:23] <AAA> hawk_wolf  apt-get install guidedog, it is the most simple method I have found
[08:23] <hawk_wolf> I called it a dhcp which goes to a hub from server, and then to the other comp.
[08:23] <NxNxMox> im getting this bimberi
[08:23] <NxNxMox> Couldn't start Xtightvnc; trying default font path.
[08:23] <NxNxMox> Please set correct fontPath in the tightvncserver script.
[08:23] <NxNxMox> Couldn't start Xtightvnc process.
[08:23] <hawk_wolf> k. I'll do that now.
[08:23] <hawk_wolf> thanks.
[08:24] <AAA> hawk_wolf  do you understand networking and gateways and routing and such?
[08:25] <hawk_wolf> A bit, still have a ton to learn, but I understand enough to experiement
[08:25] <hawk_wolf> hehe
[08:26] <AAA> hawk_wolf  cool.  basically eth0 routes to 10.1 your gateway, eth2 is <IP_ADDRESS> and has no gateway, you turn on port forwarding and then your winders box is <IP_ADDRESS> and uses <IP_ADDRESS> as a gateway, guidedog will hook you up
[08:26] <NxNxMox> whats the command to view what someone is doing via SSH
