[14:56] <teknoprep> ati 7500
[14:56] <teknoprep> it was working great
[14:56] <BlkGhost> teknoprep ahh your back :)
[14:57] <juano__> teknoprep: did you enable the restricted drivers ?
[14:57] <teknoprep> juano__, of course
[14:57] <teknoprep> juano__, everything was working great for weeks
[14:57] <BlkGhost> teknoprep yeah the snmp is what I would like to go to at one point
[14:57] <Barry_> what version of ubuntu is best for a motherboard with the VIA® P4M900 Chipset?
[14:57] <teknoprep> juano__, i did an update and its all skrewy
[14:57] <teknoprep> BlkGhost, then use cacti
[14:57] <juano__> teknoprep: eehh... where did you update from ?
[14:57] <teknoprep> BlkGhost, i would use a vmware image with it pre-setup tho.. you will have fun doing that on your own
[14:57] <BlkGhost> teknoprep just trying to narrow down what's going on right now with out going snmp
[14:57] <BB88> Anybody know of any program for Linux that converts .AVI to DVD?
[14:57] <teknoprep> juano__, from the update manager that pops up
[14:58] <cruox> Ubuntu for life, baby!
[14:58] <juano__> teknoprep: what repos are enabled ?
[14:58] <BlkGhost> cacti pain in the ass ?
[14:58] <Barry_> am I best just to go with 7.10? or another distro altogether?
[14:58] <teknoprep> juano__, all of them pretty much
[14:58] <juano__> teknoprep: default repos ?
[14:58] <teknoprep> BlkGhost, to setup.. not to use tho
[14:58] <santiag1> how can i see other partitions
[14:58] <Filled-void> Does Virtualbox only support 32 bitos installs?
[14:58] <juano__> teknoprep: have you checked !ati ?
[14:58] <teknoprep> juano__, everything was working
[14:58] <juano__> !ati > teknoprep (see private message from ubotu)
[14:59] <teknoprep> juano__, my xorg.conf output has driver = "ati"
[14:59] <BlkGhost> teknoprep : Any graphical analysis software that you know of ??
[14:59] <teknoprep> BlkGhost, graphical ?
[14:59] <juano__> teknoprep: only Opengl / 3D render isnt working ?
[14:59] <teknoprep> juano__, it keeps defaulting to vesa driver tho
[15:00] <BlkGhost> teknoprep : Kinda like etherape but more detailed and options...

[15:00] <LjL> !away > Dr_5    (Dr_5, see the private message from Ubotu)

[15:00] <teknoprep> BlkGhost, not now.. i am trying to fix another problem... let me fix my 3d redering and i will help you
[15:00] <teknoprep> BlkGhost, the only reason you would use snmp is if you switches and routers support it
[15:00] <BlkGhost> yeah
[15:00] <teknoprep> BlkGhost, most managable switches support it but cisco is the best for this
[15:00] <teknoprep> BlkGhost, cacti is a great program for this
[15:01] <BlkGhost> k thanks
[15:02] <Jack_Sparrow> teknoprep:             Did you setup your monitor refresh rates as well as just the video card.

[15:05] <Jack_Sparrow> jett_: This is ubuntu..not kubuntu

[15:06] <jett_> but i have it installed on ubuntu
[15:06] <jett_> does it matter?
[15:06] <JensenDied> jett_: /usr/bin/akregator for the executable
[15:06] <Jack_Sparrow> jett_: then ask in #kubuntu
[15:06] <jett_> oh yeah
[15:06] <teknoprep> jett_, but its a kde app

[15:07] <rd> If everything else is working then its probably not a problem with a driver

[15:14] <bullgard4> Gnome menu System > Administration > System Log > File > Open > (Open log) > /var/log/kern.log > 'Open' rejects: "/var/log/kern.log is no log file" and does not open although Gutsy opens it on another computer. What went wrong?
[15:14] <IrishDave> Barry_, i have on several occasions been called american, that one i never understand
[15:14] <LjL> BB88: meaningless question
[15:15] <swisgard> i install virtualbox-ose, the mod vbox is running, and i added myself to the vboxusers group, but it still says i need to add myself to the vboxusers group when i try to "start" the vm.

[15:15] <IrishDave> BB88, depends on what you mean by smooth but for me it wins in nearly all places :)
[15:15] <swisgard> LjL, the id command shows me as 120(vboxusers)
[15:15] <Barry_> lol sorry jack
[15:15] <juano__> BB88: eerr.... i believe *smoother* than vista, if were talking graphics, 3D , and hardware requirements
[15:16] <IrishDave> sorry jack
[15:16] <Proteus> hey, does anyone else have really weird problems with abiword? Like words randomly being deleted, disappeared, or changed as you type?
[15:16] <JensenDied> Is anyone currently availible that has exp with creating a specialised livecd/installer?
[15:16] <Jack_Sparrow> np  but in a busy channel... we really need to stay on topic... Ljl has an itchy trigger finger
[15:16] <Barry_> well from my experience vista uses way more memory than ubuntu so if you have all the graphics set up right than it will be much more responsive
[15:16] <Barry_> of course the only way to find out is install yourself
[15:17] <IrishDave> BB88, smooth generally depends on hardware, if you have awesome hardware then vista will be smooth, but it needs better hardware, linux/ubuntu works better with less requirements
[15:17] <BB88> I meant smooth as in graphics wise.
[15:17] <BB88> Does changing the visual effects do anything?
[15:17] <juano__> BB88: totally smoother than vista in that case
[15:17] <Jack_Sparrow> JensenDied: google up reconstructor
[15:17] <juano__> BB88: compiz wins vista graphics by miles
[15:18] <IrishDave> BB88, if you want nice graphics have a look on youtube for some nice videos of what you can do with compiz-fusion, which is installed with 7.10 (gutsy)
[15:18] <IrishDave> BB88, http://youtube.com/watch?v=_ImW0-MgR8I
[15:19] <Jack_Sparrow> JensenDied: there was another called nimblex but it didnt work on all systems.. it is web based, created an iso that you dl'd
[15:19] <IrishDave> BB88, a lot of the features that can be added are also a lot more functional than those in windows vista
[15:19] <swisgard> LjL, no idea why it would do that? do i need to boost my permissions inside the group or something?
[15:19] <BB88> is adobe flash in synaptic package?
[15:20] <JensenDied> Jack_Sparrow: thanks, ill check those out.
[15:20] <LjL> BB88: flashplugin-nonfree if you mean the player, but type /topic
[15:20] <LjL> swisgard: it works fine for me. does "groups" list vboxusers?
[15:20] <LjL> swisgard: is it the virtualbox-ose package that you have installed?
[15:21] <BB88> what lll
[15:21] <IrishDave> bazhang, what was that media center prog you mentioned earlier
[15:21] <Jack_Sparrow> BB88: I dont mean to interrupt.. but what you are asking is discussion and has nothing to do with ubuntu support...

[15:21] <bazhang> IrishDave: geexbox
[15:21] <IrishDave> cheers
[15:21] <swisgard> LjL, yes, its virtualbox-ose

[15:21] <swisgard> LjL, and yes, groups lists vboxusers
[15:22] <LjL> swisgard: what does « ls -l /dev/ | grep vbox » say?
[15:22] <rance> does ubuntu have a "mini" install disk that downloads everything from the net?  I know about the alternate install cd with the cli based installer but thats around 400 MB, IM looking for a < 10 MB iso for netbooting purposes

[15:23] <LjL> swisgard: well that is wrong, the group should be vboxusers. however, i doubt just changing the group there will work (well, it'll work but only until the next reboot), since /dev/ files are created dynamically. have you tried rebooting?
[15:23] <swisgard> LjL, no, just logging in and out

[15:24] <LjL> swisgard, although it's not common advice on Linux, i suggest you try rebooting and see if the permissions are set correctly afterwards
[15:24] <as> like sed, but usable

[15:43] <LuitvD> Jack_Sparrow: it's WiFi and Bluetooth in 1
[15:43] <swisgard> LjL, how would i go about checking?
[15:43] <LuitvD> Jack_Sparrow: I'm trying to use the device, but it's unseen
[15:43] <LuitvD> by my system
[15:43] <LjL> swisgard, start the live cd, and try clicking "install guest addition".
[15:44] <LuitvD> it's invisible, not connected, or just unidentified
[15:44] <LuitvD> it's not there
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> LuitvD: I dont do bluetooth anything... sorry, just thought I would at least get you the basic info page.
[15:44] <Iggz> verb3k:thanks. Is it possible to do an upgrade without a disc? Ie from SPM?
[15:44] <Whitor> Hi, Does anyone have any insight into why I can't move from wireless SSID YYY to SSID ZZZ without rebooting?  It seems Ubuntu won't lock onto an SSID unless the computer is restarted ... :(  any ideas ?
[15:44] <LuitvD> Jack_Sparrow: thanks anyways
[15:44] <verb3k> Iggz, sorry I have no idea
[15:44] <LuitvD> I guess it's a  MSI 6833 WLAN BT Combo
[15:45] <Iggz> Verb3k. NP. Couldn't find a download for on the main webiste - which was odd. Might have an other look
[15:45] <Iggz> *website
[15:46] <LuitvD> it's not in lspci, not in lsusb, it's nowhere to be found
[15:46] <swisgard> LjL, it'll let me resize mozilla and stuff, just not the install program windows. but i have "start or install ubuntu" and "start ubuntu in safe graphics mode" for options of starting it
[15:47] <LjL> swisgard, both will unfortunately start at best in 1024x768, which is probably not enough to fit the installer... although 1024x768 should...
[15:47] <LuitvD> I heard it could be 'enabled' on dapper, by loading a module, but that doesn't work for me
[15:47] <LuitvD> should I post it on launchpad?
[15:47] <swisgard> LjL, how come no one else has all these problems? :P
[15:47] <LjL> swisgard: how can you say?
[15:49] <Anonymusius> Hello all, I have a quick general linux question
[15:49] <Anonymusius> What is ubuntu exactly?
[15:49] <Anonymusius> It uses gnome, x.org
[15:49] <Anonymusius> and all kinds of programs
[15:49] <Jack_Sparrow> !enter | Anonymusius
[15:49] <ubotu> Anonymusius: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[15:49] <rinaldi_> ok i turned on my desktop pc and get to the splash screen (sometimes further) and my pc just switches off. I was using my laptop as well at the time (what im using now) and switched it off to turn my attention to the desktop problem. i now switch the desktop on and it works fine. apart from the wired connection fails at obtaining ip address. i now turn my laptop on again and when it connects to the wireless internet, my desktop switches off! i tried
[15:50] <Anonymusius> Ok, soory
[15:50] <swisgard> Anonymusius, what do you mean what is it? its a linux distribution...it runs gnome by default, yes.
[15:50] <mavi-> Anonymusius: ubuntu is the "package" Xorg/gnome/a.so comes in
[15:50] <SoftVision> hi. im trying to install msttcorefonts. the package installs and tries to download from sourceforge.net mirrors. however it keeps getting timed out and there is some error at the end of it. the irritating part is that msttcorefonts tries to download from sourceforge everytime i try to install anything via apt-get aptitude or synaptic. can anyone help me stop this? i tried "sudo apt-get clean" but that didnt work. i tried removing the package and that did
[15:51] <Jack_Sparrow> SoftVision: "Some error" would be the info that would help us help you
[15:51] <Whitor> Where can I look for logs of my wireless network negociations?
[15:52] <Anonymusius> Mavi: So gnome doesn't directly talk to xorg and the linux kernel?
[15:52] <Whitor> My computer won't switch SSID's without rebooting...
[15:52] <speedhunt3r> hi...where can i find the sound file that plays when your login screen comes up?
[15:52] <Whitor> How can I restart Wireless servicess completely without rebooting ?
[15:52] <Jordan_U> SoftVision, Try removing the "set -e" from the configure script or just exit returning 0 and do nothing
[15:52] <WildnQIk> is there a package in ubuntu that is already a ftp server ?
[15:53] <SoftVision> i get a dpkg error
[15:53] <Jordan_U> Whitor, What "systems" do you mean exactly?
[15:53] <SoftVision> i tried dpkg --configure -a but that didnt work
[15:53] <Jordan_U> !ftp | WildnQIk
[15:53] <LjL> WildnQIk, i gave you a list of several...?
[15:53] <ubotu> WildnQIk: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd
[15:53] <bazhang> WildnQIk: you can search packages.ubuntu.com there is also a firefox add on to add search there from your browser
[15:54] <Whitor> Jordan_U: I didn't type 'systems' ... ???
[15:54] <speedhunt3r> is there a way to change the small sound that plays when your login screen shows up?
[15:54] <jrib> speedhunt3r: sysetm -> administration -> login window
[15:54] <weelo> Hello there, could anyone tell me how I can see an ssh mounted server through the file->open dialog of applications? I can see it through nautils file manager but not through the dialogs of some applications (eg. firefox) ?
[15:54] <rinaldi_> ok i turned on my desktop pc and get to the splash screen (sometimes further) and my pc just switches off. I was using my laptop as well at the time (what im using now) and switched it off to turn my attention to the desktop problem. i now switch the desktop on and it works fine. apart from the wired connection fails at obtaining ip address. i now turn my laptop on again and when it connects to the wireless internet, my desktop switches off! i tried
[15:55] <Jordan_U> Whitor, Sorry, services. I mean at what level? Do you want to restart network-manager? reload the kernel modules for your card?
[15:55] <jrib> rinaldi_: does space bar bring it back or does the system actually power down?
[15:55] <WildnQIk> how do i install a .deb
[15:55] <jrib> !deb | WildnQIk
[15:55] <ubotu> WildnQIk: deb is the Debian package format, also used by Ubuntu. To install .deb files, simply double-click (in Ubuntu) or click (in Kubuntu) on them to start the GDebi utility.
[15:55] <rinaldi_> it powers down
[15:56] <YeTr2> rinaldi_: that sounds like a physical issue. check your power cables, make sure you arn't drawing too much power.
[15:56] <jrib> WildnQIk: you should always use a package manager to install from the repos if you can though
[15:56] <Whitor> Jordan_U: oh, I'm not sure... both maybe... I know that my card locks onto an SSID on reboot... but won't while the system is already up... so I'd like to restart that section of the OS...
[15:56] <Whitor> wired network works fine
[15:56] <Whitor> switches perfectly
[15:56] <Jordan_U> Whitor, Are you using network-manager?
[15:57] <chippy> anyone got a netgear laptop card? is it meant for both lights to flash together, when connected?
[15:57] <Whitor> Yes, I think so
[15:57] <Jordan_U> Whitor, ( the little applet at the top right of the screen )
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> .
[15:57] <rinaldi_> yetr2: ok il see
[15:57] <Whitor> Jordan_U: I'm using System -> Adminis -> Network
[15:58] <Whitor> Administration...
[15:58] <Jordan_U> SoftVision, Try dpkg -- configure -a again, I just installed the package and everything downloaded fine
[15:58] <IanLiu> What is the difference between 'gpart' and 'gparted'? What should I install to  make partitions on my HD?
[15:58] <Jordan_U> Whitor, Run "iwevent" in a terminal window and try connecting to a wireless network, see if there is any output
[15:59] <teknician> hi i have a wireless setting set to manual configuration i cannot see list of wireless networks in my pc
[15:59] <Jordan_U> IanLiu, gparted
[15:59] <teknician> can any one help me please with the issue
[15:59] <IanLiu> Jordan_U: Thanks
[15:59] <Whitor> Jordan_U: ok
[16:00] <Whitor> Jordan_U: It just says waiting for wireless events from interfaces...
[16:00] <moofacehead> from terminal, what is the command to see the chmod properties of a  file or folder?
[16:00] <dmhouse> Hi all. When I try to change a keyboard shortcut in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts to one that involves the Windows key (Super), pressing, e.g., Super+C just comes up as "Super L" in the accelerator box. It seems to not recognise the Super key as a modifier.
[16:01] <Jordan_U> Whitor, What if you run "sudo iwconfig <interface> essid <essid>" where <interface> is something like eth1 or ath0
[16:02] <B-rabbit> hi guyz, i installed ubuntu and changed the default root password, but when i logout and try to login as root, it says that i am not alloud to login from this login screen...any ideas
[16:02] <IanLiu> !mount
[16:02] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[16:02] <PriceChild> B-rabbit, that's such a bad idea its untrue.
[16:03] <IanLiu> !fstab
[16:03] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[16:03] <PriceChild> B-rabbit, why on earth are you trying to log in as root?
[16:03] <rinaldi_> yetr2: ok i pulled out the speakers (the thing i don't need) and it boots up fine. however, although nm-applet at the top says there is a connection, firefox doesn't have internet and it cant find my router ip...
[16:03] <teknician> hi i have a wireless setting set to manual configuration i cannot see list of wireless networks in my pc
[16:03] <piko> istaanbul
[16:03] <teknician> can any one help me please with the issue
[16:03] <piko>
[16:04] <catherine_> how do i use this
[16:04] <Whitor> Jordan_U: could <interface> be wlan0 ?
[16:04] <H264_laptop> B-rabbit: if you really really want to log in as root you need to set the root password
[16:04] <PriceChild> H264_laptop, read what he said
[16:04] <bazhang> teknician: what are you trying to accomplish?
[16:04] <Jordan_U> Whitor, Yes
[16:04] <ubuntu> hi guys
[16:04] <WildnQIk> whats the command to install a .deb
[16:04] <catherine_> too many people
[16:04] <teknician> just trying to connect my machine to internet bazhang
[16:04] <Jordan_U> !root | B-rabbit
[16:04] <ubotu> B-rabbit: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[16:04] <YeTr2> rinaldi_: dunno
[16:04] <bewst> Were there any fixes in the kernel's built-in forcedeth driver between feisty and gutsy?
[16:04] <speedhunt3r> is there anything i can download to convert a .amr sound file to .wav ?
[16:04] <rinaldi_> yetr2: i also tried booting vista but same problem ( im dualbooting)
[16:04] <bazhang> teknician: open up the terminal and do a ifconfig
[16:05] <H264_laptop> PriceChild: but there is no default root password?
[16:05] <punzada> is there any equivalent command as shift+pg up/down while using screen?
[16:05] <PriceChild> H264_laptop, read what he said...
[16:05] <YeTr2> rinaldi_: sounds like more physical issues.. is the router on the same power strip?
[16:05] <H264_laptop> lol, I did
[16:05] <B-rabbit> H264_laptop, yes i did that, i knew that ubuntu doesn't give a root password as default so i changed it, but i still cannot login
[16:05] <rinaldi_> yetr2: yes should i move it?
[16:05] <crdlb> punzada: press Ctrl+A [  then pg up/down
[16:06]  * YeTr2 uses a large cluster of PS3 to try and brute force the root password
[16:06] <Patchak> hi all.. I have two external usb 2.0 HD drives, and both are connected to my computer by a usb 2.0 pcmcia card, but with one of the two drives it never get detected at all... is there anything I could do?
[16:06] <YeTr2> rinaldi_: I would suggest it.
[16:06] <H264_laptop> B-rabbit: like PriceChild said, why do you want to log in as root?
[16:06] <YeTr2> Patchak: do other PCs see that drive?
[16:06] <PriceChild> H264_laptop, he said he set a root password himself
[16:07] <BladeMcCool> Is there a "best" way to install Ubuntu on a windows XP machine without wrecking the windows install, and to be able to access the windows filessystem from ubuntu as well?
[16:07] <WildnQIk> how do i install a .deb
[16:07] <REyM> just installed ubuntu server, can't apt-get phpmyadmin
[16:07] <bazhang> BladeMcCool: probably after the xp install--want a link?
[16:07] <brobostigon> !dualboot | blademccool
[16:07] <ubotu> blademccool: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[16:07] <YeTr2> BladeMcCool: the ubuntu installer should beable to resize an NTFS partition that was shutdown properly to make room for ubuntu
[16:07] <H264_laptop> BladeMcCool: the best way is to always have a backup of important information
[16:08] <BladeMcCool> thanks for the links and info and tips :)
[16:08] <bazhang> haha
[16:08] <digilink> WildnQIK: just double click on it or use dpkg -i pkgname from the command line
[16:09] <Patchak> YeTr2, hummm I did not try onanother comp...but it seems to work when I plug it in a usb 1 port on the same comp
[16:09] <B-rabbit> H264_laptop, because i want to install flash for firefox, if i install it as root then, i could use it from my other accounts
[16:09] <JuJuBee> I have a linux server in my room.  From my laptop, how can I mount a directory from the server as a specific user on the server?  My local account  has a different UID than my account on the server.
[16:09] <YeTr2> Patchak: could the port on the pccard be bad then?
[16:09] <dmhouse> Hi all. When I try to change a keyboard shortcut in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts to one that involves the Windows key (Super), pressing, e.g., Super+C just comes up as "Super L" in the accelerator box. It seems to not recognise the Super key as a modifier.
[16:10] <REyM> where do I report broken packages?
[16:12] <H264_laptop> REyM: why do you need to report a broken package? Sometimes a package needs to be reinstalled because it breaks its self. Have you tried reinstalling it?
[16:12] <REyM> H264_laptop: I mean broken in the apt sort of way. IE, it has unmet dependancies
[16:13] <H264_laptop> hmm
[16:13] <JuJuBee> I have a linux server in my room.  From my laptop, how can I mount a directory from the server as a specific user on the server?  My local account  has a different UID than my account on the server.
[16:13] <teknician> thanks bazhang i got it connected ;)
[16:14] <IanLiu> I've got a Printer connected to a Windows. Is it possible to access it trougth Ubuntu?
[16:14] <Patchak> YeTr2, well the thing is that when I plug the other drive in the same port it works
[16:15] <H264_laptop> REyM: what package is it?
[16:15] <WildnQIk> what package would tcl be under

[16:18] <crush_groove> http://www.ground-impact.com/libGL.so.1.2
[16:18] <wols_> CaBlGuY: then install the nvidia driver
[16:18] <wols_> crush_groove: just giving him some random libGL will NOT work
[16:19] <CaBlGuY> already got the "non free" "restricted" drivers installed and working..
[16:19] <jtaby> Hey, If i wanted to create a cron that would commit my svn repo nightly, i would put cd /var/www/working_copy ; svn commit http://url/to/repo -m time ?
[16:19] <wols_> crush_groove: there are at least 3 different kinds of that file from mesa, nvidia and fglrx
[16:19] <jtaby> and then do crontab filename ?
[16:19] <wols_> CaBlGuY: that one comes with a libGL
[16:19] <crush_groove>   thats nvidia
[16:20] <CaBlGuY> well, apperently something is not right then cause, I'm getting an error..
[16:20] <CaBlGuY> I'll have to try a reboot..   maybe that will help..  thanks wols_
[16:21] <JuJuBee> wols_ :  hmmm, I was mistaken, it looks like the server is running samba as well as nfs.  How do I mount my home dir using samba since my local UID is different than my server UID?
[16:21] <Neuling> hi guys i am really not happy with ubuntu 7.10. i have installed all the necessary codecs and still swf files are not playing what should i do?

[16:22] <Patchak_> YeTr2, sorry I was disconnected
[16:22] <REyM> H264_laptop php5-mcrypt: Depends: libltdl3 (>= 1.5.2-2) but it is not installable
[16:22] <Neuling> wols_ :which one
[16:22] <Patchak_> so ... yeah the port and the card work since one drive is detected each time
[16:22] <speedhunt3r> what's the command a sh file in terminal?
[16:22] <speedhunt3r> ./filename-sh ?
[16:23] <RoBz18> Someone reccomend me some good cheap hosting :)

[16:23] <speedhunt3r> any alternative to that? because that command's not working.
[16:23] <wols_> RoBz18: #web or some other channel. definitely NOT #ubuntu
[16:23] <Patchak_> YeTr2, weirdlywhen I connect the new drive on the same usb port it does not work at all
[16:24] <RoBz18> wols_: Ok thanks, just thought some people here would know some good ones.
[16:25] <claviola> Does the 7.10 live cd not boot you straight into a desktop anymore?
[16:25] <Disconnected> ???
[16:26] <RoBz18> claviola: It does
[16:26] <claviola> I have a friend who's trying to boot using the pressed 7.10 CD and it dumps him into gdm
[16:26] <RoBz18> Weird
[16:26] <speedhunt3r> exit
[16:26] <speedhunt3r> ah, lol keep forgetting it's not terminal
[16:26] <CaBlGuY> alllrighty ----  that didn't help..  :(
[16:27] <CaBlGuY> wols_,  why would the system be looking for a openGL lib file if it's already "working"??
[16:27] <JuJuBee> wols_ : thanks for the sama wiki.  The wiki tells me how to mount permanently using fstab.  I do not want this.   I will have a look
[16:29] <CaBlGuY> wols_,  this is specifically what GL file it's looking for..   libGL.so.1.2: The of course it says this: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[16:29] <vegpuff> hi, i have a windows system with one partition. how do i create a new partition and install ubuntu?
[16:29] <wols_> I doN#t ask what it looks for. I ask what you HAVE
[16:29] <dbrewer_rjr> is there a good hacker detection/prevention tool for ubuntu?
[16:29] <wols_> vegpuff: make the windows partition smaller
[16:30] <brobostigon> vegpuff: the installer does all that
[16:30] <wols_> dbrewer_rjr: there is no such thing for ANY OS in existence
[16:30] <CaBlGuY> wols_,  and how would I find out what I have installed then?
[16:30] <wols_> CaBlGuY: by looking?
[16:30] <brobostigon> it hlps you do it
[16:30] <vegpuff> brobostigon, is that facility available in ubuntu installer itself?
[16:30] <CaBlGuY> wols_,  gimme a command..
[16:30] <vegpuff> wols_,  that is what i want to do, but i am not sure how to resize the partition in windows
[16:30] <wols_> find, locate, ls, nautilus, ...
[16:30] <IanLiu> I want to split a partition I have with gparted, but I can't... how I achieve this?
[16:31] <brobostigon> i dont know about the live cd, but the alternate cd does
[16:31] <wols_> vegpuff: we don't know either. we only know how to do it in ubuntu
[16:31] <CaBlGuY> command line command there genius..
[16:31] <wols_> IanLiu: is the partition currently mounted?
[16:31] <IanLiu> oh
[16:31] <vegpuff> wols_, hmm. ok
[16:31] <IanLiu> yes
[16:31] <vegpuff> i need to resize a windows partition, and i'm searching

[16:35] <Asv> hola
[16:35] <Asv> hi
[16:35] <josh__> Hey, what would I need to open .rar files on linux?
[16:35] <m4stertsunami> unrar
[16:35] <Lacrymology> josh__: rar
[16:36] <Lacrymology> rar x myfile.rar extracts
[16:36] <brobostigon> Lacrymology: network problem, down server, something like that
[16:36] <Lacrymology> brobostigon: ubuntu's servers?
[16:36] <brobostigon> maybe
[16:36] <Todddoh> :]
[16:36] <brobostigon> could be a network problem too
[16:37] <Asv> i can add repos of ubuntu to debian ?
[16:37] <REyM> H264_laptop: yeah, that's the final unmet dependencie
[16:37] <Lacrymology> brobostigon: a problem on my side wouldn't throw a 404, tho
[16:37] <brobostigon> it could
[16:37] <REyM> and I am using the official ubuntu_nl mirror
[16:38] <boris> whats Rialto chip ?
[16:39] <H264_laptop> REyM: well, first try unchecking in the sources program all your sources, then quit it
[16:40] <H264_laptop> REyM: then open the program again and check off the sources you want, close it and try installing again
[16:40] <REyM> and what does that do?
[16:41] <H264_laptop> REyM: it sometimes gets rid of weird errors that come up
[16:41] <ubuntulover12345> What would be the best way to mirror two directories?
[16:42] <Dr_willis> ubuntulover12345,  local dirs on the same machine? or over a network?
[16:42] <H264_laptop> REyM: do you know what program I'm talking about? it's called Software Sources
[16:43] <wems> hey
[16:43] <wiloo> ho
[16:43] <H264_laptop> moo
[16:43] <wems> I dled ubuntu server on my comp, then realized that i wanted teh desktop version (first time ever using linux, so that was prob a bad choice)
[16:43] <wems> how do i boot from the new iso image disk i made?
[16:43] <REyM> I don't know what programm it is, but removing everything in sources.list and aptsget updating it doesn't resolve anything H264_laptop
[16:43] <wems> so that i can install the desktop version of ubuntu while in the server version?
[16:44] <H264_laptop> REyM: remove? you mean comment, right?
[16:44] <wems> or how can i reformat my whole hard drive in the GNU grub thing?
[16:44] <preaction> wems, you're in the server version right now? just apt-get install ubuntu-desktop <- installs the "desktop version"
[16:44] <REyM> H264_laptop yes
[16:44] <REyM> same result
[16:44] <wems> oh okay
[16:45] <ubuntu_> hola
[16:45] <ubuntulover12345> Dr_willis I have a machine that almost exclusively runs Ubuntu, but also has windows "just in case" (not my choice). the documents folder from the windows partition is linked symbolically to a folder on my ubuntu desktop. I want to share the folder via NFS, but NFS does not support NTFS, so I want to create a ext3 mirror to be hosted instead
[16:46] <ubuntulover12345> ...and I don't want to give windows ext3 support
[16:46] <REyM> H264_laptop: do you have any idea, or are you just giving advise to what you think is a newb?
[16:47] <H264_laptop> REyM: ok, the terminal way is to comment the sources off and save the file. then open the update manager and click check updates. After a second go back to sources.list and uncomment what you commented off and save the file again. Finally go back to the update manager and click check for updates.
[16:47] <REyM> lmao
[16:48] <H264_laptop> REyM: well, not really the terminal way.. but yeah
[16:48] <H264_laptop> lol
[16:48] <REyM> I am using the ubuntu server version. I am not using any visual crap
[16:48] <H264_laptop> ohhh, :P
[16:48] <roaet> hello -- i'm at the terminal and I"m getting flooded with messages from message, how do I stop it. I try to hit F1-7 to change terminal but it doesn't work. Any thoughts?
[16:49] <REyM> I but as I said, that doesn't resolve anything. package still unmet, have to report it somewheer
[16:49] <wems`> preaction: i typed what you said, and it gave me E: could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock -open (13 permission denied_ and on another line Unable to lock the administartion directory, are you root?
[16:49] <preaction> wems`, are you root?
[16:49] <wems`> and then i did sudo -i, and tried it and said E: Couldnt find package ubuntu-desktop
[16:49] <ubuntulover12345> How does one keep two folders synchronized on a local machine such that files can be added or deleted from either folder and each are affected? (Not just one being a backup of the other)
[16:49] <wems`> no not too sure what that means honestly
[16:49] <preaction> !info ubuntu-desktop
[16:49] <ubotu> ubuntu-desktop: The Ubuntu desktop system. In component main, is optional. Version 1.79 (gutsy), package size 22 kB, installed size 48 kB

[16:50] <preaction> !easysource @ wems`
[16:50] <sanguisdex> how can I make a program not start up w/ the copiz efects
[16:50] <pavs> is there any other way to find out what shell I am using other than using "echo $SHELL" because when I change from bash to something else it still says I am using bash.

[16:51] <H264_laptop> REyM: hmm... the package is in main... what happens if you try installing just libltdl3?
[16:51] <ubuntulover12345> pavs yes, echo $0  :)
[16:52] <gvsa123> can i just download and install the .deb package for Openoffice 2.3.1 without causing problems in gutsy?
[16:52] <Dr_willis> ubuntulover12345,  you might want to check out the various 'fuse' tools. they proberly got somthing that can backup/sync every few min.  Or just rsync and a cron job every 5 min. Depending on how much/otedn the changes happen, There may be better ways to do it.
[16:52] <pavs> ubuntulover12345 thanks
[16:52] <H264_laptop> REyM: or whatever the package is that it's complaining about
[16:53] <Dr_willis> ubuntulover12345,  You are sure if you mount the ntfs filesystem that nfs cant share it? Ive never noticed that limit with nfs. but i dont use nfs much
[16:53] <thx_-_> hello guys

[16:54] <thx_-_> rndcs: what do you want then?
[16:55] <rndcs> the real gcc
[16:55] <thx_-_> rndcs: it is the real gcc
[16:55] <ubuntulover12345> Dr._willis am I misinterpreting this?
[16:55] <preaction> rndcs, why do you need "the real gcc"?
[16:56] <wems``> ugh my internet keeps dying

[16:56] <Dr_willis> ubuntulover12345,  may want to check out the various nfs docs  - I cant recall  it being a limit.. but i cant recall doign it either.   its possible theres some workaround/option .

[16:57] <rndcs> but dont play with root
[16:57] <pavs> can anyone install scsh from repo? its giving me an error
[16:57] <wems``> couldnt find package ubuntu-desktop

[16:58] <wems``> well how do i just like reformat my drive?
[16:58] <wems``> so i can just install the other version of ubuntu ;)
[16:58] <debaser> hi all
[16:58] <Dr_willis> ubuntulover12345,  a quick google is telling me that one can not export  vfat/ntfs filesystems. :(  I wonder if you could use some of the FUSE tools to get around it.
[16:58] <Prez_> running gutsy, trying to open an image from the web in gimp using URL and get error Could not open 'http://www.tunicaragua.com/components/com_phpshop/shop_image/product/a9e676e20f57223c3b983b4961ffef50.jpg' for reading: No such file or directory
[16:59] <bruenig> Prez_, just download it first
[16:59] <osphy> how to set the locale? I get warnings on the terminal
[16:59] <michaelpo> hello... can u see me?
[16:59] <Prez_> bruenig: is this a known bug?  used to work in previous gimp version
[16:59] <Dr_willis> ubuntulover12345,  also note that the forum i am seeing/reading is dated 2004 - so it may be possible now.
[16:59] <pike_> michaelpo: hi
[16:59] <osphy> I get msgs like "please check that your locale name is correct" about locale how to get rid of these msgs ?
[17:00] <bruenig> Prez_, I don't know, I am not sure why that "feature" exists to begin with, what kind of bloat that must have added to the code I can only imagine
[17:00] <Patchak> is ubuntu able to write on ntfs file systems?
[17:00] <michaelpo> i'm just installed this pidgin-encryption... dont know if it works or not...
[17:00] <preaction> !ntfs-3g | Patchak, yes:
[17:00] <TheNo1Yeti> Patchak: yes
[17:00] <ubotu> Patchak, yes:: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[17:01] <debaser> can I install ubuntu in a hard disk and then move the hard disk to another machine?
[17:01] <Patchak> preaction, ok so I guess this is installed int he basic ubuntuinstall since I can write files now
[17:01] <TheNo1Yeti> debaser: Technicaly yes.  Realistically you may have issues with drivers and such.  Especially if it is a different processor type.
[17:02] <debaser> TheNo1Yeti, ok, that's what I imagined but I guess I can work around some of those issues
[17:02] <Fjodor> Hey, does anyone know why compizconfig-settings-manager isn't backported, when the other compiz-stuff is?
[17:02] <debaser> also, does anyone know what the "Attempted to kill the idle task" kernel panic means?
[17:03] <debaser> I've googled and found nothing
[17:03] <crush_groove> when in console and you arent at a prompt .. how do you get back to it ?

[17:04] <H264_laptop> REyM: sorry I can't really offer any more help other than if something is wrong with a package you can report it on launchpad.net however I would post your problem on ubuntuforums.org first
[17:04] <wems``> im guessing that means its impossible yeti?
[17:04] <TheNo1Yeti> No, it's just there is no information in the bot.   Basically you have two options.  fdisk or makefs
[17:04] <pike_> wems``: for a graphical tool look at gparted i suppose.  you can also format a partition with a mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda1 or whatever format you want but be SURE you tell it the correct partition
[17:05] <ubuntulover12345> Dr._willis oh, also, I don't think these two problems are related. when I try to mount the nfs on the remote machine, it says "failed, reason given by server: Permission denied." my /etc/exports line is "/windows        <IP_ADDRESS>(rw,sync,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check)" (ip address is example). daemon has since been restarted, and I am loged into remote machine as root via ssh.

[17:05] <TheNo1Yeti> thank you pike
[17:05] <JensenDied> someone found the right keyworkd!
[17:06] <pike_> you guys were over thinking it ;p
[17:06] <jett_> hey
[17:06] <Chousuke> Minifig: did you overwrite GRUB or something?
[17:06] <TheNo1Yeti> It's sad it took 3 of us to get a bot to give up the info
[17:06] <Minifig> No.
[17:06] <tarjei_> Can I have some assistance installing Folding@Home (the Linux edition)?
[17:06] <H264_laptop> REyM: is seems like it is a problem not really related to the package its self, more like apt can't figure something out
[17:06] <debaser> does anyone know what the "attempted to kill the idle task" kernel panic means? I've googled around but found anything
[17:06] <flash> hey i need help configuring my atheri wireless on gutsy :((
[17:06] <jett_> i want to learn man, i remember there is a man script that teaches people
[17:06] <jett_> i found it in fedora once
[17:06] <ubuntulover12345> Minifig what's wrong?
[17:06] <Chousuke> debaser: something is very wrong :P
[17:06] <jett_> can someone help me figure out what it is so i can download it
[17:06] <debaser> Chousuke but what
[17:06] <Minifig> Here is what happened.  I wanted to install WIndows and since I cannot install XP on a second drive with LInux installed, I swapped drives and put 20GB as master not slave.
[17:07] <Chousuke> Minifig: was the 160GB drive originally a master?
[17:07] <mummia> ciao
[17:07] <debaser> Flash, what's your problem exactly?
[17:07] <mummia> !list

[17:07] <pike_> Minifig: so you just need to reinstall grub to the new primary partitions mbr and overwrite the windows mbr
[17:07] <Minifig> How do I get Linux to boot on the second hard drive?
[17:07] <Chousuke> Minifig: you might've confused grub.
[17:07] <pike_> er primary hd's mbr i mean
[17:08] <Minifig> I used SuperGrub CD to show Grub and Linux but when I select Linux I get file not found.
[17:08] <Flash> debaser: my system doesn`t see the wireless card
[17:08] <tarjei_> The file, FAH504-Linux.exe, is on my desktop. How do I install it?
[17:08] <Minifig> Also it only shows Linux and not Windows and Linux.

[17:08] <debaser> Flash, ifconfig is not showing any information about it?
[17:08] <tarjei_> I know it is an .exe file but it is intended for Linux.
[17:08] <Flash> debaser: no
[17:08] <tarjei_> I am new to Ubuntu.
[17:08] <Chousuke> Minifig: grub might still think that Linux is on the master drive.
[17:09] <crush_groove> debaser you using fedora ?
[17:09] <debaser> tarjei_: wine [file] or right-click and open with: wine
[17:09] <IanLiu> Is it possible to have two languages dictionary? For instance, in Pidgin, I usually type in English or in Portuguese... Is it possible to easily switch between languages?
[17:09] <pike_> Minifig: oh sounds like hda1 is no longer hda1 but hdb1 or whatever
[17:09] <Chousuke> Minifig: Unfortunately I don't know enough about grub to help you fix this.
[17:09] <debaser> crush_groove: no, why?
[17:09] <debaser> Flash: any dmesg messages?
[17:09] <ubuntulover12345> Minifig by moving the drive, Grub can't find /boot anymore.  I found a bunch of stuff on your issue ...seems to be all fedora related
[17:09] <sdfdsfsdf32423> irc://irc.abjects.net/rezoproject
[17:09] <Dr_willis> ubuntulover12345,  with ntfs-3g - one us supposed to be able to use it as a nfs export --> Yes. But to do so, you need to read the FUSE README.NFS file and use the FUSE kernel module from the FUSE package because the mainstream kernels don't support NFS exporting of FUSE file systems.
[17:09] <Flash> debaser: sorry? i don`t understand
[17:10] <Gringo_> i've got a problem with my Logitech MX1000, and I've found here: http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=3939331&posted=1#post3939331 that i'm not alone with this issue. Where do I report a bug like this?
[17:10] <Minifig> I am running Live CD Ubuntu now.
[17:10] <Dr_willis> ubuntulover12345,  looke like it may be a feature thats not in the default ubuntu kernel/fuse modules.
[17:10] <tarjei_> debaser: I don't have that option.
[17:10] <debaser> Flash: try lsmod on a console and see if the correct module is loaded
[17:10] <tarjei_> Why should I open it with Wine since it is intended for Linux?
[17:10] <Minifig> Does it matter what version of Linux is on the second drive?
[17:10] <pike_> Minifig: boot livecd and mount the ubuntu partition then edit boot/grub/menu.lst and change hda1 to hdb1 or whatnot then save then sudo grub   then root (hd1,1)   then setup (hd0)   hd0 is hda hdb is hd1 hdc would be hd2
[17:10] <debaser> tarjei_: ur using gnome
[17:10] <debaser> ?
[17:10] <tarjei_> Yes.
[17:10] <Minifig> I am running Live CD right now.
[17:11] <ubuntulover12345> Dr._willis so need to install ntfs-3g package?
[17:11] <Fjodor> Hey, does anyone know why compizconfig-settings-manager isn't backported, when the other compiz-stuff is?
[17:11] <debaser> tarjei_: because linux can't handle windows executables directly, it must use WINE. If you are using gnome there should be an option "open with" or "open", another menu and then open with.
[17:11] <Flash> debaser: i don`t know what module i should look for
[17:12] <pike_> Minifig: basically root says 'here is my install folder' and setup says write grub to this hd0 without a partition will be mbr
[17:12] <wems``> !man mkfs
[17:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about man mkfs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[17:12] <tarjei_> debaser: It is NOT a Windows file. It specifically says it is the Linux edition.
[17:12] <Dr_willis> ubuntulover12345,  well if you are using ntfs id HOPE you are usiong ntfs-3g :)
[17:12] <JensenDied> anyone know 'things' about creating a livecd/installer from a debootstrap'ed system(or similar with changes made[chrooted to configure etc])?
[17:12] <dingdangdong> Question: is there any way to use my camera mobile as a webcam in linux? my mobile is k510 sonyericsson!
[17:12] <debaser> tarjei_: but if you're using ubuntu it should be configured with binary misc support and a double click should work
[17:12] <Minifig> I have terminal opened.
[17:12] <Dr_willis> ubuntulover12345,  actually its in the default gutsy installs i thought. if you are not using ntfs-3g then that  may be all you need to do.
[17:12] <debaser> tarjei_: pls try file <file.exe> in the console
[17:12] <ubuntulover12345> Dr._willis yeah, it is there already...
[17:12] <debaser> Flash: something like atheros or ath, I don't remember, let me find it
[17:13] <^punisher> sup
[17:13] <bencas> hello ppl i have a clasus dynamic sr-512 and i don't have sound on the last version of ubuntu
[17:13] <wems``> how can i boot from my cd drive?, been trying to but the best i can do is an OS choices menu :/
[17:13] <bencas> any idea?
[17:13] <^punisher> out of interest
[17:13] <pike_> tarjei_: people shouldnt be naming their binaries .exe its just confusing whatever app this is
[17:13] <ubuntulover12345> Dr._willis but is the "permission denied" thing related?
[17:13] <Minifig> I have Can you help me in private, if its not rude to ask?
[17:13] <debaser> wems' ': bios config?
[17:13] <tarjei_> tarjei@tarjei-desktop:~$ FAH504-Linux.exe
[17:13] <tarjei_> bash: FAH504-Linux.exe: command not found
[17:13] <Flash> debaser: none is listed :(
[17:13] <Minifig> Excuse the I have.
[17:13] <wems``> i dont know my comp might be real messed up. but when i start it up it shows the pentium 4 logo... then goes to a blank screen with a _ in the up right corner
[17:14] <debaser> oh its madwifi
[17:14] <Minifig> What do I type in Terminal?
[17:14] <wems``> then after like 2 minutes it will start to boot up my ubuntu server edition
[17:14] <debaser> Flash: search madwifi
[17:14] <wems``> does that mean something is wrong with my mobo?
[17:14] <Zergiu> guys
[17:14] <Dr_willis> ubuntulover12345,  and it does seem to need to use FUSE to do this. :0
[17:14] <Zergiu> how do I login as root in terminal?
[17:14] <Slart> wems``: if something was wrong with your motherboard I doubt it would boot at all
[17:14] <debaser> wems``: whatis mobo?
[17:14] <Minifig> sudo
[17:14] <wems``> motherboard
[17:14] <debaser> Zergiu: tru sudo -s -H
[17:14] <ricky_> hello to everyone!!!
[17:15] <debaser> wems``: oh, I don't know, try bios config
[17:15] <Fjodor> Zergiu: You don't, but you can get a sudo shell with sudo -i
[17:15] <Slart> !hello | ricky_
[17:15] <ubotu> ricky_: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[17:15] <wems``> ya i thought that, but i dont think i have any bios info
[17:15] <debaser> ricky: hi!
[17:15] <Minifig> pike, what do I type in terminal?
[17:15] <Zergiu> i tried sudo -a -H looks like it works
[17:15] <wems``> how do i mess with my bios config?
[17:15] <tarjei_> I asked in a thread for Folding@Home and they said the file name didn't matter if it was .exe or not, as long as the file content is made for Linux.
[17:16] <pike_> Minifig: 'file  filename.exe' file is a command that tells you details about whatever filename you pass it
[17:16] <pike_> Minifig: wait wrong problem
[17:16] <pike_> sorry
[17:16] <debaser> wems'': the access key changes from "mobo" to "mobo", but when its starting u should try F8 or DEL key
[17:16] <Slart> wems``: depends on the brand of the motherboard... usually you press DEL right at the start.. might be holding F1 down or something too.. as I said.. it depends on the brand.. DEL is the most common afaik
[17:16] <Minifig> Thats okay pike.
[17:16] <dinesh86> i want a good gcc tutorial, for learning abt configuring makin installing etc
[17:16] <Minifig> I am getting confused here with all the other stuff going on.
[17:16] <debaser> wems'': also there are certain mobos which need a jumper change to acces bios config, I'm sure its not your case
[17:16] <pike_> sudo fdisk -l   to see the partitions  which one is ext3?
[17:16] <pike_> Minifig: ^
[17:16] <Minifig> brb
[17:17] <wems``> well when i do f8 and del and all of that. it does nothing
[17:17] <debaser> tarjei_: it doesn't, but you need to know which file type it is, again file <file.exe> should give you info. Unix simply ignores files extensions, they're only there so that WE don't get lost
[17:17] <bencas> ppl i don't have sound on my ubuntu... anyone can help me?
[17:17] <wems``> i guess i could try holding f1 but i built this comp a long time ago and dont remember ever having to do that
[17:17] <debaser> wems'': try reading your mobo user guide
[17:18] <wems``> ya thats long lost and gone
[17:18] <ricky_> I was looking around the /etc directory and I found that there are a lot of users in the /etc/passwd file and I was wondering how can I find out if I need those users ir not. Can anybody help me?
[17:18] <debaser> wems'': so you have accessed the bios config but don't remember how?
[17:18] <Minifig>    Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
[17:18] <Minifig> /dev/sdb1   *           1       19805   159083631   83  Linux
[17:18] <Minifig> /dev/sdb2           19806       19929      996030    5  Extended
[17:18] <Minifig> /dev/sdb5           19806       19929      995998+  82  Linux swap / Solaris
[17:18] <debaser> wems'': you could search the user guide in internet
[17:18] <Slart> wems``: usually there is some text somewhere when you boot.. something like "F1 for setup" or "press del to enter setup"
[17:18] <tonyyarusso> I can't seem to install Banshee on Gutsy anymore - dependencies conflict.  Anyone familiar with that?
[17:18] <wems``> well mabe im wrong, but it doesnt seem to work the same as it use to
[17:18] <wems``> no text
[17:18] <wems``> its just a "_"
[17:18] <wems``> in the top left of the screen
[17:18] <debaser> wems'': yes, but intel mobos usually doesn't have any text
[17:19] <tarjei_> debaser: Ok I will try again in the terminal. I go to the desktop and I tell it to change the name. I paste that in the terminal and I add .exe to what I pasted. Correct?
[17:19] <dinesh86> i want to know abt configuring making n installing n gcc too pls help me
[17:19] <Slart> wems``: before that.. at the logo-thingy
[17:19] <wems``> doesnt blink or anything, i cant type just sits at a blank screen with  _
[17:19] <Minifig> Did you see that pike?
[17:19] <wems``> i get the intel pentium 4 powered or soemthing logo at the very beginning but thats just the processors image i think?
[17:19] <Slart> dinesh86: man gcc.. or man make would get you some info.. and there's always google
[17:19] <wems``> hmm ill try pressing f8/del/f1/any fkey as soon as copm is on this time
[17:19] <debaser> tarjei_: it seems to me too many unnecesary steps, just go to the terminal and, for the moment, find out which file type it is (file <file.exe>)
[17:20] <debaser> wems'': my mobo does the same
[17:20] <tarjei_> tarjei@tarjei-desktop:~$ file FAH504-Linux.exe
[17:20] <tarjei_> FAH504-Linux.exe: ERROR: cannot open `FAH504-Linux.exe' (No such file or directory)
[17:20] <tarjei_> tarjei@tarjei-desktop:~$
[17:20] <debaser> wems'': except it stops just for a few seconds in the '_', you should see if there's a disc in the CD reader or something
[17:21] <debaser> tarjei_: try ls first to find out the exact name
[17:21] <IanLiu> How do I chmod 777 all files/folders recursively in a folder?
[17:21] <pike_> Minifig: yes once
[17:21] <debaser> tarjei_; or try autocompleting with <TAB> key on the console
[17:21] <Anonymusius> tanliu: sudo chmod -R
[17:21] <Zergiu> guys
[17:21] <Zergiu> how can I acces /boot/grub/menu.lst
[17:21] <IanLiu> Anonymusius: thanks
[17:21] <tonyyarusso> Zergiu: with your favorite text editor
[17:21] <debaser> Zergiu: mount the /boot partition
[17:21] <Zergiu> permision denied with sudo -s -H
[17:21] <Slart> IanLiu: chmod -R
[17:22] <pike_> Minifig: sudo mkdir /media/ub; sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /media/ub; gksu gedit /media/ub/boot/grub/menu.lst
[17:22] <debaser> Zergiu: check out the sudo config
[17:22] <IanLiu> Slart: Thanks =)
[17:22] <debaser> Flash: anything happened?
[17:22] <Slart> IanLiu: you're welcome
[17:22] <Minifig> Okay, one moment.
[17:22] <pike_> Minifig: once in gedit scroll to near the bottom and chang eall sda1 to sdb1
[17:22] <Zergiu> debaser what would be the comand to open that file in a text editor?
[17:22] <debaser> Zergiu: visudo
[17:22] <pike_> Minifig: im doing this the hard way but im not familiar with the automatic stuff in grub-install
[17:23] <Zergiu> debaser visudo /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[17:23] <debaser> Zergiu: you should export the environment variable $EDITOR to something like nano
[17:23] <debaser> Zergiu no, just visudo
[17:23] <tarjei_> debaser: Can I just rename it to something so that I can double click it?
[17:23] <IanLiu> Slart: I dunno how to do this.. would be 'sudo chmod -R 777'?
[17:23] <debaser> Zergiu: but first in the console do export EDITOR="nano"
[17:23] <Zergiu> dude that chineese for me , I'm new to this
[17:23] <wems``> well i got it to work i was holding down f1 then finally saw a different screen
[17:23] <debaser> Zergiu oh sorry
[17:23] <wems``> so
[17:23] <debaser> Zergiu: I was confused
[17:23] <andres_> a
[17:23] <wems``> i got to the bios and changed around boot proiority
[17:24] <hrehf> hrm, the alternate installer hangs at 6% of "Select and install software" and tells me to "Please wait..."
[17:24] <wems``> now its at the ubuntu loading screen and its been loading for like 2 mins
[17:24] <Slart> IanLiu: sudo chmod -R 777 /your/path/   it will chmod all files in that path including subfolders
[17:24] <hrehf> what do i do? it's going on for like 10mins :(
[17:24] <debaser> Zergiu: I was ust saying crap, you want to modify that file, or just read it?
[17:24] <Zergiu> modify
[17:24] <IanLiu> Slart: oh, I supposed it applied on the current directory...
[17:24] <debaser> wems'': that's weird
[17:24] <Minifig> I don't see any eall
[17:24] <Slart> hrehf: is it working? hard drive making noise?
[17:24] <pike_> hrehf: select the option to verify installcd to make sure its ok if there is a problem reburn at slowest speed
[17:25] <jeffMASTERflex> Zergiu: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[17:25] <debaser> Zergiu: then press F2, and type "gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[17:25] <hrehf> pike_ im doing a from hd install (using the netboot)
[17:25] <pike_> ah
[17:25] <debaser> Zergiu: in command line use the command provided by jeff...
[17:25] <Zergiu> ok
[17:25] <Zergiu> ty
[17:25] <Minifig> I see.  it was an error.  all sda1 to sdb1
[17:25] <IanLiu> Slart: thanks again
[17:25] <wems``> oh well the comp is pretty shitty, only has 256mb of ram
[17:26] <Minifig> Do I keep HD0,0 as hd0,0?
[17:26] <wems``> thought it had more, but w/e
[17:26] <debaser> wems'':exactly when does it get stuck? after grub?
[17:26] <wems``> it wasnt "stuck"
[17:26] <wems``> it wa just loading
[17:26] <pike_> Minifig: now sudo grub   then in grub shell type root (hd1,1)   then setup (hd0)   hd0 is hda hdb is hd1 hdc would be hd2
[17:26] <debaser> wems'': HEY! mine as 256mb!
[17:26] <debaser> wems'': after grub?
[17:26] <wems``> and i thought it was taking a while, came in other room where my laptop is (here) and then went back and it was doing something else so
[17:26] <Slart> wems``: 256 mb is alright.. you just have to avoid the worst bling bling.. no spinning cubes and windows burning up and you'll be fine =)
[17:27] <hrehf> pike_ any other idea?
[17:27] <wems``> k ;)
[17:27] <debaser> wems'': well that's an ubuntu problem
[17:27] <spyder> hello?
[17:27] <pike_> hrehf: sorry no. not much exp with that
[17:28] <debaser> wems'': you could tryfiguring out what is, then trying to solve it, etc, or just reinstall ubuntu from scratch
[17:28] <hrehf> ah, lol, it's just been doing something that was taking 10mins +
[17:28] <hrehf> thanks anyways ;)
[17:28] <pike_> wems``: ive run beryl on an old celeron lappy and it was fine. im not too into the effects but it should be ok
[17:28] <pike_> with intel onboard
[17:28] <debaser> tarjei_: so were you able to execute the program?
[17:29] <Minifig> pike: setup (hd0)
[17:29] <Minifig> Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
[17:29] <tarjei_> debaser: I tried to just drag the file to the terminal
[17:29] <wems``> ya thats what i was doing, i had ubuntu server installed on there, and i was like
[17:29] <tarjei_> tarjei@tarjei-desktop:~$ '/home/tarjei/Skrivebord/FAH504-Linux'
[17:29] <tarjei_> bash: /home/tarjei/Skrivebord/FAH504-Linux: Permission denied
[17:29] <tarjei_> tarjei@tarjei-desktop:~$
[17:29] <wems``> uhh what is this (never used linux ever before, and i didnt like the non graphical interface
[17:29] <tarjei_> The FaQ tells me this:
[17:29] <Minifig> grub> root (hd1,1)
[17:29] <Minifig> grub> setup (hd0)
[17:29] <Minifig> Error 17: Cannot mount selected partition
[17:29] <wems``> so i tried installing a new version of ubuntu the desktop 7.1 version
[17:30] <tarjei_> To launch: To use this program, make sure that you can execute it (chmod +x FAH5-Linux.exe) and then run it ./FAH5-Linux.exe
[17:30] <debaser> tarjei_: you must know what file type is
[17:30] <debaser> tarjei_: that's right
[17:30] <Minifig> Be right back.  I need to help the Mrs.
[17:30] <tarjei_> What exactly should my command be then?
[17:30] <pike_> Minifig: odd type find /boot/grub/stage1
[17:30] <debaser> tarjei_; exactly what you need to do
[17:30] <tarjei_> chmod +6 /home/tarjei/Skrivebord/FAH504-Linux?
[17:30] <Minifig> pike hd1,0
[17:30] <newbie___> Todomundo aqui tem certeza de que isto está funcionando?
[17:31] <Minifig> brb
[17:31] <debaser> tarei_: UNIX decides to execute a file based on permissions, chmod +x <file> command adds execution permission to a file (there's also read and write permission
[17:31] <debaser> tarjei_: no, chmod +x
[17:31] <esoterik> im having problems with firefox in ubuntux86 where randomly when accessing flash based pages it greys out and I have to forcequit, is this a known issue?
[17:31] <debaser> tarjei_: ls -l will shoy a complete list with permissions
[17:32] <debaser> tarjei_: the 7 octal code means read write and execution permission,and 6 means read and write permission
[17:32] <pike_> Minifig: thats the problem i spaced on it root (hd1,0)   setup (hd0)
[17:32] <newbie___> Any one may help me?
[17:32] <tarjei_> So what do I do now?
[17:32] <pike_> Minifig: i told you hd1,1
[17:32] <debaser> esoterik: it happens to me in opera under gentoo, but not in firefox
[17:32] <tarjei_> I must CHMOD it but I don't know how.
[17:32] <pike_> originally
[17:32] <tovarna> hi everybody. i have a question. i had ubuntu 7.10 in my laptop (in one partition). so i did other partition and mounted /home in this new one. but at when i had to edit /etc/fstab i think i didnt do it correctly. now i have dev/sda/1 mount point /     and sda3 mount points are /home, /media/sda3      and i dont understand
[17:33] <debaser> tarjei_: chmod +x file.exe
[17:33] <esoterik> debaser: so its a limitation of the flash plugins perhaps?
[17:33] <debaser> tarjei_: that's all, you can even change permissions under the nice gnome gui
[17:33] <pike_> tarjei_: youll notice after you do that if you 'ls -l' on the very left there is now an x for executable
[17:33] <debaser> esoterik_ don't know, till today can't solve the problem
[17:34] <tarjei_> Ok I right clicked it and told it to allow everything
[17:34] <pike_> Minifig: one more thing you still need to add windows info to grub
[17:34] <tarjei_> Now the program runs in my terminal
[17:35] <debaser> tarjei_: ok
[17:35] <Zergiu> debaser dude now how do I save that modified file in nano?
[17:35] <tarjei_> debaser: Can you start a private conversation with me? I don't seem able to with this program, unless I type in a command I don't know how.
[17:35] <debaser> Zergiu: Ctrl-O I think
[17:35] <debaser> Zergiu_ yes
[17:35] <debaser> Zergiu: in the bottom bar there's a series of commands you can use
[17:36] <Zergiu> saved thanks
[17:36] <Zergiu> lets hope it works
[17:36] <Zergiu> if not I'm gona get xp and sat bye bye vista
[17:36] <debaser> Zergiu: ok
[17:36] <debaser> Zergiu: go to it pls
[17:36] <sigma> has anyone here used miro?
[17:36] <pike_> sigma: yes
[17:36] <sam_> list
[17:37] <debaser> tarjei_: pls open it you
[17:37] <eth01> windows xp corporate?
[17:37] <sigma> pike_: is it really slow and buggy?
[17:37] <pike_> sigma: i like it though the sytem req are not ideal but you can say that about alot of new python apps
[17:37] <eth01> volume licensing, means i dont have to pay ;)
[17:37] <tarjei_> debaser: This is a terminal based program. It usually lies in C:\Program files\Folding@Home #1. It starts as a service in Windows. Where should I place it now in Linux?
[17:37] <tarjei_> debaser: And will it automatically run?
[17:37] <pike_> sigma: latest is suprisingly good only a few issues and it hasnt crashed on me but once in like 2 weeks
[17:37] <debaser> eth01: no, just vista hater
[17:37] <sigma> pike_: wat r da sys requirements?
[17:37] <debaser> tarjei_:; there are several methods
[17:37] <pike_> sigma: not steep i have a 1.8ghz sempron and 512mb ram
[17:37] <sigma> pike_: but is it really slow?
[17:38] <pike_> sigma: no
[17:38] <bencas> anyone can help me with my sound on linux
[17:38] <bencas> ?
[17:38] <debaser> tarjei_: what kind of service is it?
[17:38] <sigma> pike_: ah ok, is it a full multimedia solution?
[17:38] <tarjei_> debaser: I don't know, I haven't run it in Linux before. But in Windows it just automatically installs as a service (if told to).
[17:38] <tsukasa_> can i report a bug - this may be already in the bugdb but if your starting from a fresh install and your clock is wrong it will ask you if you want to change system time, but not prompt you for root and therefore fail based on not having admin privleges
[17:38] <jones> anyone know how to get the videos on nfl.com to work? i can watch all other vids no problem
[17:38] <pike_> sigma: i really like it mostly even though its a little wierd on my fluxbox desktop. take a look at tvrss.net to show feeds to of weekly shows you can add em to miro but only the ones that are free of course ;p
[17:39] <debaser> tarjei_: I mean what's the function of the service
[17:39] <pike_> sigma: yeah. i like even the trailers and stuff it even includes youtube vids.
[17:39] <IanLiu> What configuration is good for a Ubuntu installation? I mean, is it good to separate Home in another partition, how much space leave to other ubuntu parts...?
[17:39] <zeroflag> following a tutorial (http://www.howtoforge.com/roll_a_kernel_debian_ubuntu_way) I tried to compile a new kernel and ended up with a bunch of stamp-something files but no kernel image or initrd or anything... how do I get my kernel installed with these?
[17:39] <Dr_willis> IanLiu,  it all depends on your needs.
[17:39] <tarjei_> debaser: It runs in the background using all of the CPU I don't use to simulate the folding of proteins for Stanford univercity research to better understand certain diseases.
[17:39] <debaser> lanLiu: you should just install everything under the same partition, believe me
[17:39] <Dr_willis> IanLiu,  i keep /home on its own hard drive, and / on the other hd.
[17:40] <pike_> sigma: alot of the complaints are pre 1.0 which i agree with but most have been address to some extent in latest
[17:40] <sigma> pike_: im not worried about the downloadable content - im on a gprs line after all:) i just need a video + audio player in one and im on kde
[17:40] <debaser> tarjei_: ok, the computer in which you're trying to run it is only used by you (sorry my bad language, I'm not  an english speaker 100%)
[17:41] <Minifig> Back.
[17:41] <tarjei_> debaser: Yes.
[17:41] <IanLiu> I wanted a configuration that makes Ubuntu reinstalation not so painful, given I test it too much, so I need to backup very often
[17:41] <debaser> lanLiu: I do the same, but to separate them in the same hd is not useful if you're justusing linux for the desktop
[17:41] <debaser> tarjei_: then you should start it whith gnome's sessions
[17:41] <Minifig> What do I do now pike?
[17:41] <tarjei_> How is that done?
[17:41] <pike_> sigma: video its great audio.. ive not really used it for that but it should be ok if not quite rythmobx or whatever. what i really like are some of the net show feeds i think its the way media will move
[17:42] <debaser> tarjei_: try going to somewhere in preferences>sessions and add it
[17:42] <sigma> pike_: whats it lacking in the audio department?
[17:42] <debaser> tarjei_: wait a minute
[17:42] <sigma> pike_: yeah when i get a dsl line, il look into that sort of content
[17:42] <IanLiu> Thanks guys :) I will study a bit more
[17:43] <skyfalcon866> will i see a speed boost with 64bit ubuntu?
[17:43] <pike_> skyfalcon866: a small one
[17:43] <skyfalcon866> is it negligible?
[17:44] <pike_> skyfalcon866: you need to weigh that against any trouble you may have in 64 but the trouble isnt so much lately
[17:44] <jones> anyone know how to get the videos on nfl.com to work? i can watch all other vids no problem
[17:44] <debaser> tarjei_; I think its something like preferences> sessions and add startup program
[17:44] <skyfalcon866> drivers an issue?
[17:44] <pike_> skyfalcon866: it may be real but just noticable not huge
[17:44] <Minifig> I am ready to continue pike_
[17:44] <pike_> skyfalcon866: some stuff flash i think is not a prob anymore
[17:44] <Ashfire908> How do i convert a text file from dos format to normal format?
[17:44] <hdevalence> can I use ++ in a bash script ? as in, number=0; number++
[17:45] <pike_> sigma: id recommend something else for audio but def give it a try
[17:45] <pike_> Minifig: so it should work now right? only issue now is windows needs to be added to the menu.lst
[17:45] <prakriti> I've got a usb disk and I can't seem to write to it.
[17:45] <sigma> pike_: i saw some screenshots, it looks really good
[17:45] <tarjei_> debaser: WHen I go to the services managment there is no option to add one.
[17:45] <prakriti> Ever time I make any changes the sysem thinks it makes them, no errors show up in dmesg, but the disk doesn't change.
[17:46] <prakriti> I can't format it
[17:46] <debaser> tarjei_; got it, go to System > Preferences > Sessions > Startup programs and add program
[17:46] <debaser> tarei_: there isn't
[17:46] <prakriti> even dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1024 count=102400 doesn't nuke the drive
[17:46] <sigma> just out of interest, when connecting ubuntu to a dsl line how does it work? does it work automatically when u put the lan cable in?
[17:46] <prakriti> it acts like it does
[17:46] <pike_> Minifig: check this out for an example of adding windows which on your system is sda1  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[17:46] <skyfalcon866> pike_: can 32bit programs run on 64bit ubuntu
[17:46] <prakriti> but then when I plug it an again it has a fat32 filesystem on it again
[17:46] <prakriti> and all the files are on it again
[17:47] <prakriti> its driving me crazy
[17:47] <pike_> !chroot| skyfalcon866
[17:47] <ubotu> skyfalcon866: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[17:47] <prakriti> Has anybody seen a usbdisk act like this?
[17:47] <tarjei_> debaser: Ok but if I am to do so I need to know where I should install my program.
[17:47] <debaser> tarjei_: because in linux distributions "services" usually lie in /etc/rc.d or /etc/init.d (depending on which UNIX they're based, and these files are scripts which start or stop KNOWN programs and servers. To add one with the ubuntu gui the init script must already exist in /etc/init.d
[17:47] <tarjei_> debaser: It isn't installed yet. I don't want all my program files on mydesktop.
[17:48] <debaser> tarjei_: you can move them into /usr/local/bin, DON'T use /usr/bin because you'd be messing with apt
[17:48] <debaser> tarjei_: I use /usr/local/bin (and its the logical option), but you can use something like ~/.bin/
[17:49] <Flash> hello all
[17:49] <Flash> i have a problem with Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[17:49] <debaser> Flash: hi again!
[17:49] <ziro01> Hi
[17:49] <^punisher> Hello
[17:49] <Flash> debaser: man it shows now in lsmod and lspci
[17:49] <debaser> Flash: did you find the madwifi module listed on the output of lsmod?
[17:49] <Iggz> I/m no doubt being thick but...having jsut upgraded to 6.10 I notice that pidgin is not available in add/remove. Any reson for this? compatibilty,etc?
[17:49] <tarjei_> debaser: It doesn't allow me to make a folder there
[17:49] <Flash> debaser: no
[17:49] <debaser> Flash: ?
[17:50] <Templar> hi there for some reason i cant get my cube to rotate but its all turned on - morked fine before
[17:50] <Flash> debaser: when i do ifconfig there is no wireless
[17:50] <ziro01> ok
[17:50] <^punisher> investigating
[17:50] <debaser> tarjei_: that's because you don't have permission, and try not to make a folder, just move it with sudo and everything should be neater
[17:50] <tovarna> hi everybody. i have a question. i had ubuntu 7.10 in my laptop (in one partition). so i did other partition and mounted /home in this new one. but at when i had to edit /etc/fstab i think i didnt do it correctly. now i have dev/sda/1 mount point /     and sda3 mount points are /home, /media/sda3      and i dont understand
[17:50] <debaser> Flash: ok, and lsmod doesn't show any madwifi module loaded?
[17:51] <Flash> debaser: nope
[17:51] <debaser> Flash: have you installed the madwifi package=
[17:51] <debaser> ?
[17:51] <tarjei_> debaser: I would prefer not to do anything in the terminal. I don't have any experience there and it sems I can't get anything to work there.
[17:51] <Flash> debaser: doing it now
[17:51] <Templar> anyone any ideas
[17:52] <debaser> tarjei_: its the best you can find, you should get used to it, but if you don't want try F2 and execute "gksudo <filemanager>"
[17:52] <Flash> debaser: it is already installed
[17:52] <wems``> k well i burned a ubuntu desktop disk but it wont exactly install it
[17:52] <wems``> it will boot the desktop but not install it
[17:52] <yrlnry> I'm trying to configure IPP printing from my laptop to my desk machine, which is on the same network.  I went into the "printer configuration" dialog as root, clicked "new printer", then selected "Internet Printing Protocol" and put in the hostname of my desk machine.  It popped up a box that says "IPP browser" which says "Scannint..." and displays a spinning-ball cursor.  It has been doing that for several minutes and the 'cancel" button doesn
[17:52] <yrlnry> 't stop it.
[17:52] <debaser> tarjei_: I don't know what's the gnome default manager :D
[17:52] <yrlnry> What should I do instead
[17:52] <yrlnry> ?
[17:52] <debaser> Flash: have you followed any guide?
[17:52] <Flash> debaser: no
[17:53] <fitztrev> Does anyone know of a good subversion gui tool that I can use instead of the command line?
[17:53] <Dr_willis> yrlnry,  i always put in the ip# - unless your hosts file has the right names/ip#'s
[17:53] <debaser> wems'': try using the "install" icon in the desktop if there is one
[17:53] <yrlnry> Dr_willis: I tried that too.  Same result.
[17:53] <tarjei_> debaser: Can I just make a folder called /Program Files?
[17:53] <Flash> debaser: in fact yes... one for ndiswrapper
[17:53] <debaser> Flash: try with a guide, it should be easier to understand that me, and if you have problems, then come and ask
[17:53] <Dr_willis> yrlnry,   I aint even using ipp any more. so just going by memory from what ive had to do in the past.
[17:53] <debaser> Flash: search something in ubuntu community
[17:53] <yrlnry> Dr_willis: Thanks.
[17:54] <Flash> debaser: when i try to  install something with ndiswrapper it says ndiswrapper utility missing
[17:54] <Flash> debaser: but i have it installed
[17:54] <Seta-San> hello. i'm trying to setup a domain i bought "seta-san.com" but i can't figure out how to configure apache for it. could someone please tell me how
[17:55] <debaser> tarjei_: you can do whatever you want, its your computer, but in Unix, the "bin" directory means there are binary files in there, because Unix has a tradition of simplicity ("bin" instead of "Program executables meaningless extremely long folder name")
[17:55] <debaser> Flash: wait a minute
[17:55] <Dr_willis> tarjei_,  spaces in filenames/paths is a VERY bad idea. :) causes all sorts of little problems.
[17:55] <Flash> debaser: ok
[17:56] <Dr_willis> tarjei_,  also Linux Is Case senesitive.  so its best to keep things lowerd cased
[17:56] <Seta-San> could anyone help me configure apache with a domain?
[17:56] <holycow> hi guys
[17:56] <holycow> when installing vmware player, server, workstation on ubuntu
[17:56] <holycow> all a user needs to do is install the kernel modules and then just run the install scripts but stop before compiling, right?
[17:56] <capt-rogers> anyone try and mount a LVM2 partition? We have to compile a kernel for LVM2 support? Is this a bug?
[17:56] <fitztrev> Seta-San: i can try to help
[17:56] <holycow> !vmware
[17:56] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player"), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. For VMWare Server, instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[17:57] <fitztrev> Seta-San: is the dns already pointing to your server
[17:57] <tarjei_> debaser: Apparently it doesn't allow me to make a folder in / either. What do I do now?
[17:57] <debaser> Flash: sorry, I can't help you (I installed an atheros adapter once in debian. but I just don't remember anything, and since then I haven't mess around with wifi in the console, only with easy to use guis)
[17:57] <Seta-San> well. the nslookup is saying no address a records available
[17:57] <debaser> tarjei_: you're sure you ran the filemanager with gksudo?
[17:57] <mtron_x86> anyone can tell me how i can change the open app for links in the places menu please?
[17:57] <Flash> debaser: ok man...
[17:58] <debaser> Flash: sorry
[17:58] <tarjei_> No
[17:58] <tarjei_> I am browsing files if that is what you mean
[17:58] <krzysz00> If you want to switch variants of ubuntu (ex. xubuntu to ubuntu) can I just install ubuntu-desktop and then remove xubuntu-desktop and sudo apt-get autoremove?
[17:59] <debaser> tarjei_: you will be usually denied write and even read permission on everything outside your ~ folder, because of security (you can see its much superior than window "security")
[17:59] <tonyyarusso> I'd like to create a user "guest" such that their password is only ever valid once.  I should have to give them that password, they log in, do their thing, and on logout a new password is created and then e-mailed to my admin user.  How would I do that?
[17:59] <debaser> tarjei_: if you REALLY need to modify something (or if you don't care to screw something) you can use sudo to gain superuser permissions, which means acces to EVERYTHING in the computer
[18:00] <mtron_x86> anyone can tell me how i can change the open app for links in the places menu please?
[18:00] <imbecile> anybody tell me a good mpg joiner?
[18:00] <tarjei_> debaser: Well I don't care about the security, this is more annoying.
[18:00] <debaser> tonyyarusso: I don't know any existing tool to do that, maybe a script?
[18:00] <speps> hey guys...somebody use nonXgl script???
[18:00] <debaser> tarjei_: then start the filemanager with gksudo and mess around
[18:00] <tarjei_> debaser: So I just type in sudo in the terminal, then I can browse / graphically and make a folder?
[18:00] <tonyyarusso> debaser: any idea how I'd trigger it?  I'm sure one of those profile-type files is loaded on login.
[18:01] <debaser> tonyarusso: with ~/.bashrc
[18:01] <capt-rogers> anyone try and mount a LVM2 partition? We have to compile a kernel for LVM2 support? Is this a bug?
[18:01] <debaser> tonyarusso: the best I can think of
[18:01] <timruff> bonjour tout le monde
[18:01] <timruff> zut
[18:01] <debaser> tarjei_: no
[18:01] <tonyyarusso> debaser: Seems reasonable.  I'll give it a shot, thanks.
[18:01] <wems``> should i create a new disk if when i ran a disk check on ubuntu
[18:02] <wems``> it said 1 file had an error in it?
[18:02] <Barry_> does anyone know if ubuntu 7.10 supports the VIA® P4M900 Chipset and core duo processors?  also if it doesn't is there any good resource on which distros support which chipsets?
[18:02] <tonyyarusso> debaser: is bashrc loaded on an X login if they don't open a terminal?
[18:02] <debaser> tarjei_: sudo in a terminal allows you to execute single commands, and it can handle you a prompt if you ran sudo -s. To use graphical applications with superuser permissions, you CAN technically use sudo <guiapp> from the console, but you SHOULD use gksudo <guiapp>
[18:03] <speps> hey guys ... how can i switch between windows ... using the nonXgl script?
[18:03] <debaser> tonyarusso: no, it's not, only if bash is loaded, then you can use ~/.xinitrc
[18:03] <jussiKk> Good evening everyone. I have a mild problem here. I got my USB Wlan drivers working recently and the last problem is to get it to load on startup without any terminal use.
[18:03] <tonyyarusso> debaser: ah
[18:04] <Jack_Sparrow> wems``: It might not be an essential file for your system..
[18:04] <jagtesh> connect #doctrine
[18:04] <debaser> tonyarusso: if they use KDE or gnome you must use the "session" and "startup programs" config
[18:04] <kitofhawaii> jussiKk: what wlan card?
[18:04] <adelie> Anybody here have any luck / experience with exporting ntfs?
[18:04] <debaser> adelie: me
[18:04] <debaser> adelie: sorry, not me
[18:05] <adelie> debaser ?
[18:05] <tonyyarusso> debaser: hmm.  98% of the time it will be a Gnome session, but it would be nice if it was independent
[18:05] <Jack_Sparrow> adelie: what do you mean by exporting ntfs?
[18:05] <debaser> adelie: I got confused, it seem ntfs nor vfat can be exported with nfs
[18:05] <tarjei_> debaser: I still don't understand. What do I do to make my file explorer run as an administrator?
[18:05] <adelie> exportfs
[18:05] <prakriti> anybody know why a usb disk might act like its writing but not ever write?
[18:06] <debaser> tonyyarusso: I can't think of anything but to create an script and then add it to every possible option (.bashrc, .xinitrc, gnome and kde sessions, etc)
[18:06] <jussiKk> kitofhawaii: The Zyxel G-270S
[18:06] <Jack_Sparrow> tarjei_: gksudo nautilus  but use with caution.. you can really mess things up if not careful
[18:06] <pope22> How do I change my login theme? (I know i keep popping up with dumb questions, sorry)
[18:06] <debaser> that't it, nautilus
[18:06] <Barry_> tarjei: you type in sudo infront of the command so if your command is grep whatever than sudo grep whatever will make it run as an admin
[18:06] <Jack_Sparrow> pope22: gnome-look.org  gdm themes
[18:06] <kitofhawaii> jussiKk:jussiK: did it come with an up script of its own? or do you have to go through all sorts of fun stuff to get it up
[18:06] <debaser> pope22: system>preferences?
[18:07] <adelie> debaser I found stuff from 2 years ago about people complaining that FUSE didn't support ntfs export, but supposedly ntfs-3g can. Or is this still an open issue?
[18:07] <tarjei_> I just type in gksudo nautlius in the terminal then go make my folder?
[18:07] <Jack_Sparrow> tarjei_: yes
[18:07] <debaser> adelie: no idea, I don't use machines with double OS
[18:07] <debaser> adelie: so I don't use ntfs-3g
[18:07] <pope22> debaser: I looked in preferences, nothing...there's login options in admin, but that's only for technical aspects, not visual...i'll check out gnome-llok.org thnx
[18:07] <imbecile> anybody know a good free mpg joiner?
[18:08] <debaser> tarjei_: or you can type it in into F2 dialog, sorry if I misexplained myself
[18:08] <adelie> debaser I wouldn't either... but not something I have 100% control over for this particular machine :(
[18:08] <Jack_Sparrow> pope22: system.. admin..login window...
[18:08] <jussiKk> kitofhawaii: No scripts that I am aware of, just the winXP driver wrapped into ndiswrapper
[18:08] <tarjei_> It still won't allow me to make a folder there.
[18:09] <debaser> tarjei_: then you must check the sudo config
[18:09] <kitofhawaii> jussiKk: ok so what is it that you have to do to get your driver up? some iwconfig'ing? :)
[18:09] <Jack_Sparrow> tarjei_: did you use gksudo nautilus like I said..?
[18:09] <tarjei_> Yes
[18:09] <adelie> in that case, is rsync the best way to keep two directories synchronized (ext3 mirror)
[18:09] <Jack_Sparrow> tarjei_: and it wont let you make a flder where?
[18:09] <jussiKk> kitofhawaii: Modprobe the ndiswrapper and some iwconfigin yes
[18:09] <debaser> tarjei_: I think there's a gui in ubuntu
[18:09] <tarjei_> I was prompted for my password, I typed it, then went to try make a folder in /bin
[18:09] <debaser> tarjei_: try not to touch /bin
[18:09] <debaser> tarjei_: use /usr/local/bin
[18:10] <tarjei_> Well not there either
[18:10] <kitofhawaii> jussiKk: did you do "sudo ndiswrapper -m" yet?
[18:10] <josepi> ola
[18:10] <debaser> tarjei_: then its about sudo config
[18:10] <emmc> hi guys do you know some guides to manage new ipod in linux?
[18:10] <tarjei_> Meaning?
[18:10] <Jack_Sparrow> tarjei_: have you done much to your system with root access?
[18:10] <adelie> emmc the dicumentation for gkpod is pretty good last time I used it
[18:11] <emmc> so it works with new ipod?
[18:11] <tarjei_> I don't know, I installed Ubuntu a few days ago
[18:11] <emmc> the last version?
[18:11] <jussiKk> kitofhawaii: No, the option -m does not appear in the man (not the one I'm reading). What does it do?
[18:11] <debaser> tarjei_; I don't want to mess your sudo config file, try with system > admin > users and groups
[18:11] <debaser> tarjei_: grant every privelege to your user
[18:12] <Jack_Sparrow> tarjei_: I am able to on my system with gksudo nautilus..   you have other issues going on
[18:12] <adelie> emmc the new ibrick 2.0 patch? havn't tried it, but I read on slashdot that they were working on it, so if it works, gkpod would have it
[18:12] <debaser> Jack_Sparrow: surely sudo config
[18:12] <debaser> tarjei_: try system >admin>users&groups
[18:12] <kitofhawaii> jussiKk: it adds information to modprobe for it to autoscan
[18:12] <tarjei_> I gave myself all rights, no change.
[18:13] <kitofhawaii> jussiKk: "ndiswrapper --help" will give you more options...but -m is the one you need so you don't have to manually modprobe
[18:14] <debaser> tarjei_: got it know, add yourself to the admin group
[18:14] <ladk03> HI I am having a problem I want to install apache 1.x on my system or even 2.0 but when i do apt-get remove apache2 it says it removes it but its still there how can I get rid of apache 2.2.x and instsall apache 2.0 or 1.x ?
[18:14] <emmc> adelie, i don't know about ibrick patch... i read some things on it... tnx
[18:14] <debaser> tarjei_: that should do it, I guess that's how ubuntu does it (usually its called wheel group)
[18:15] <tarjei_> I did it now, no change.
[18:15] <debaser> tarjei_: you must relogin when you change group or user config
[18:15] <tarjei_> ok
[18:16] <jussiKk> kitofhawaii: I'll try this. Thanks.  I've googled around but found anything
[18:17] <debaser> lxuser11234 hi
[18:17] <debaser> tarjei_: so?
[18:17] <sake> #Ubuntu-pl
[18:17] <tarjei_> I can make folders
[18:18] <lxuser11234> hi debaser
[18:18] <tarjei_> where did you want me to place folding@home again?
[18:18] <debaser> tarjei_: in /usr/local/bin
[18:18] <crush_groove>  debase google >> kernel panic + attempt to kill task << tons of replys
[18:18] <debaser> tarjei_: try not to create folders there and just place the binary
[18:19] <crush_groove> seems to be a hardware based issue'
[18:19] <tarjei_> ok well it refused to make folders there though
[18:19] <tarjei_> and i can't paste my file there either
[18:19] <debaser> crush_groove: yes, but I've read many forums and pages and many pages of results with no success (usually people like me asking without answer
[18:19] <debaser> tarjei_:  ok that's weird
[18:20] <debaser> tarjei_: pls open a terminal
[18:20] <tarjei_> done
[18:20] <JustWantingToKno> anyone still using the Hoary LiveCD?  problems getting video correct?  msg me
[18:20] <debaser> tarjei_: try sudo -s -H
[18:20] <debaser> or sudo -s
[18:20] <kriel> okay. i made a button on my toolbar 'gksudo ifdown eth1 && sudo ifup eth1' ... why does it have a different effect than running the same command in a terminal? (I have those in the 'command' option of the 'custom application launcher'
[18:20] <ladk03> HI I am having a problem I want to install apache 1.x on my system or even 2.0 but when i do apt-get remove apache2 it says it removes it but its still there how can I get rid of apache 2.2.x and instsall apache 2.0 or 1.x ?
[18:21] <Jack_Sparrow> kriel: I dont think you need gksudo for that..
[18:21] <wraund> ladk03: try sudo apt-get remove --purge apache2
[18:21] <wraund> then run sudo apt-get autoremove
[18:21] <tarjei_> tarjei@tarjei-desktop:~$ sudo -s -H
[18:21] <tarjei_> [sudo] password for tarjei:
[18:21] <tarjei_> root@tarjei-desktop:/home/tarjei#
[18:21] <kriel> Jack_Sparrow: it should have the same effect as sudo, though, except for graphically asking for the password (as opposed to in the terminal)
[18:22] <Jack_Sparrow> kriel: agreed
[18:22] <debaser> tarjei_: there you go
[18:22] <debaser> tarjei_: try "touch /usr/local/bin/test"
[18:23] <tarjei_> root@tarjei-desktop:/home/tarjei# touch /usr/local/bin/test
[18:23] <tarjei_> root@tarjei-desktop:/home/tarjei#
[18:23] <Jack_Sparrow> kriel: should you net need to have them the same..
[18:23] <Jack_Sparrow> not
[18:23] <debaser> tarjei_: the file was created? (find out with ls)
[18:23] <debaser> *was the file created?
[18:23] <paradroid> Hi. Is there a program (other than Emacs et al.) that will allow "formatting" of ASCII text, i. e. centering, justifying the text by inserting spaces with regard to max. line length?
[18:23] <crush_groove> what does that command do  debaser "touch" .. test perissions ?
[18:23] <tarjei_> root@tarjei-desktop:/home/tarjei# Ls
[18:23] <tarjei_> bash: Ls: command not found
[18:23] <tarjei_> root@tarjei-desktop:/home/tarjei# Is
[18:23] <tarjei_> bash: Is: command not found
[18:23] <tarjei_> root@tarjei-desktop:/home/tarjei#
[18:24] <ladk03> wraund, that doesn't work says apache2 isn't installed :P
[18:24] <tarjei_> ah, ls
[18:24] <tarjei_> you mentioned the case sensitivity
[18:24] <wraund> ladk03: oh lol
[18:24] <debaser> crush_groove with a file argument, it ust creates an empy file, but its used to modify file "properties" like creation date, etc
[18:24] <kriel> Jack_Sparrow: from my understanding, if you supply a sudo password once, it saves it in both (all?) forms of sudo for 5 minutes. in any case, the same command works when typed into a terminal, it just dosen't work in a button.
[18:24] <crush_groove> nodz
[18:24] <debaser> tarjei_: not me, but its important anyway
[18:24] <ladk03> wraund, so what do i do
[18:25] <wraund> ladk03: dunno mate :/
[18:25] <debaser> kriel: not really "forms" of sudo I think, gksudo is based in sudo so its te same
[18:25] <Jack_Sparrow> kriel: yes it does save it...  just seems odd to run gksudo to take it down then only sudo to bring it up.
[18:25] <wraund> if it says its not on there it means it isnt, or some config files are still on there or something
[18:25] <ladk03> wraund can I just go ahead and install apache 1.x
[18:25] <wraund> ladk03: in theory yes
[18:25] <ladk03> when i try i get this error
[18:25] <ladk03> Package apache is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[18:25] <ladk03> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[18:25] <crush_groove> chuckles at "in theory"
[18:25] <kriel> debaser: agreed.
[18:26] <kriel> Jack_Sparrow: gksudo ... && gksudo had the same effect.
[18:26] <kitofhawaii> kriel: well, at least i can confirm that gksudo ifdown eth0 has no effect on my machine either :)
[18:26] <debaser> ladk03: try using synaptics
[18:26] <ladk03> whats that?
[18:26] <debaser> ladk03: and what do you mean with "its still there"?
[18:26] <kriel> kitofhawaii: do you have an interface on eth0? (checking)
[18:26] <debaser> ladk03: the gui for apt
[18:27] <ladk03> I am working on a server no gui :P
[18:27] <debaser> ladk03: are you using gnome?

[18:27] <Strawberryjam> how can I change the background of my terminal to black and the text to green like in my old 286?
[18:27] <debaser> ladk03: but what does "its still there" exactly means?
[18:27] <crush_groove> any1 here familiar with debfoster ?
[18:27] <tarjei_> Ok well thanks for your time, debaser.
[18:27] <docgnome> Strawberryjam: with gnome-terminal?
[18:27] <debaser> tarjei_: ls, without arguments lists the common directory
[18:27] <tarjei_> I don't have time for more tonight, I have work to do
[18:27] <Strawberryjam> yes
[18:27] <crush_groove>  probably some orphan files left after she removed it
[18:27] <debaser> tarjei_: wait, its ust ls /usr/local/bin
[18:28] <ladk03> debaser, still there is in files congigs, the binaries its all still there init script everything
[18:28] <docgnome> Strawberryjam: look under Current Profile
[18:28] <ladk03> debaser, and it runs
[18:28] <crush_groove>  yikes
[18:28] <Strawberryjam> ok, thanks
[18:28] <ladk03> still there as in its still on the system and configured
[18:28] <docgnome> Strawberryjam: I think It's in the Edit menu
[18:28] <tarjei_> it was
[18:28] <debaser> tarjei_: anyway, jut type in mv ~/Desktop/file.exe /usr/local/bin
[18:28] <tarjei_> it says test
[18:28] <Strawberryjam> thank you
[18:28] <debaser> tarjei_; insert the above command
[18:28] <debaser> ladk03: and you removed it with apt?
[18:28] <kriel> alright. i'll be back in a few. im going to double-check and try various forms of gksudo and sudo to make sure it works.
[18:28] <ladk03> yes
[18:28] <Strawberryjam> Colors menu...thank you, slippede by me
[18:29] <tarjei_> i did, it said test
[18:29] <tarjei_> so i guess it was
[18:29] <ladk03> I don't mind if it stays as long as I can install Apache 1.3 too, how can I do that
[18:29] <paradroid> Hi. Is there a program (other than Emacs et al.) that will allow "formatting" of ASCII text, i. e. centering, justifying the text by inserting spaces with regard to max. line length? Like an extended (GUI?) version of the "reformat" command.
[18:29] <debaser> tarjei_; no, the command "mv ~/Desktop/file.exe /usr/local/bin"
[18:30] <chazco> Hi... how can i assosiate .tmd files with a certain command and also assign an icon to them - from the command line ideally
[18:30] <debaser> ladk03: I don't know how Ubuntu handles "slots", but you should look for a package called "apache1" or something, or use aptitude
[18:31] <tarjei_> root@tarjei-desktop:/home/tarjei# mv ~/Desktop/FAH504-Linux.exe /usr/local/binFAH
[18:31] <tarjei_> mv: cannot stat «/root/Desktop/FAH504-Linux.exe»: No such file or directory

[18:31] <Strawberryjam> I love linux...i really have control over my OS, and i just love it. Thanks
[18:31] <debaser> tarjei_: sorry, my bad, "mv /home/tarjei.... /usr/local/bin"
[18:31] <parka> hi
[18:31] <Strawberryjam> i am new to it and its not that easy, but i will make an effort to learn it
[18:31] <debaser> tarjei_: I forgot we changed the HOME environment variable
[18:31] <debaser> parka: hi
[18:32] <debaser> ladk03: I recommend using aptitude
[18:32] <tarjei_> i am confused, what is the current full command?
[18:32] <parka> i installed ubuntu with wubi
[18:32] <ladk03> i tried using aptitude i dont see any apache 1.3.x packages
[18:32] <debaser> tarjei_: "mv YOURHOME/Desktop/file.exe /usr/local/bin"
[18:32] <debaser> tarjei_; your home should be /home/tarjei/
[18:33] <Ashfire908> how do i save a file in unix/linux format
[18:33] <debaser> tarjei_: the TAB key will autocomplete and help you if you don't know the exact name of a file
[18:33] <docgnome> Ashfire908: a text file?
[18:33] <Ashfire908> yes
[18:33] <debaser> Ashfire908: you mean a text file?
[18:33] <docgnome> Ashfire908: using what program?
[18:33] <Ashfire908> nano
[18:33] <jussiKk> kitofhawaii: I ran into some problems. The driver seems to have been loaded alright (the light on the USB flashes) but the wlan0 interface does not show
[18:33] <Ashfire908> or vi/vim.
[18:33] <debaser> Ashfire: just Ctrl-O
[18:33] <Ashfire908> k
[18:34] <tarjei_> tarjei@tarjei-desktop:~$ mv /home/tarjei/Desktop/file.exe /usr/local/bin/

[18:34] <docgnome> Ashfire908: it should just use whatever is default for the system you are on.
[18:34] <Ashfire908> debaser: "O" or "o"
[18:34] <Donka> can someone plz help me with making a dvd with k3b
[18:34] <debaser> tarjei_; you must replace file.exe for te actual filename, Idon'tknow what's that

[18:34] <Samui[Laptop]> Hello. I am attempting to compile nvidia-new-kernel-source, on a custom compiled kernel, and this is the result of 'make module': http://kparadise.pastebin.ca/813685
[18:34] <debaser> Ashfire908: that's case insensitive
[18:34] <docgnome> Ashfire908: or whatever the file is currently in. If you want to convert a file there are some utils called dos2unix you can use
[18:35] <debaser> Ashfire908: even sed will do it with no problem
[18:35] <tarjei_> tarjei@tarjei-desktop:~$ mv /home/tarjei/Desktop/FAH504-Linuxe.exe /usr/local/bin/
[18:35] <tarjei_> mv: cannot stat «/home/tarjei/Desktop/FAH504-Linuxe.exe»: No such file or directory
[18:35] <tarjei_> I am 100% sure this is the correct file name
[18:36] <debaser> tarjei_: but are you sure your home is /home/tarjei?
[18:36] <debaser> tarjei_;  use the TAB key while you're inserting text to autocomplete
[18:36] <tarjei_> oh it is called skrivebord
[18:36] <tarjei_> skrivebord means desktop
[18:36] <jussiKk> kitofhawaii: Even the lsusb does not see the device
[18:36] <tarjei_> in my language
[18:36] <debaser> tarjei_: ok
[18:36] <debaser> tarjei_: but you should use the tab key
[18:37] <Samui[Laptop]> This is the result of make install: http://kparadise.pastebin.ca/813691
[18:37] <Ashfire908> debaser: i want to save it in unix format, not dos
[18:37] <debaser> tarjei_: it will autocomplete the text you insert or give you all the options
[18:37] <debaser> Ashfire908: nano should autoconvert it, but you can use a single and elegant sed command to easily do it
[18:38] <Ashfire908> debaser: and that is?

[18:44] <kriel> Hello. the problem with the button for 'gksudo ifdown eth1 && sudo ifup eth1' is fixed. For some reason, the buttons don't like &&'s. (it was executing the ifdown part, but not the ifup.) My workaround was to write a small shell script. Not sure how to make it work inside the button context, though.
[18:44] <debaser> Ashfire908: http://sed.sourceforge.net/sed1line.txt there you go
[18:44] <LimCore> Jamesinator: hwinfo
[18:45] <Jamesinator> LimCore: Thanks.
[18:45] <LimCore> kriel:  wtf is the button
[18:45] <Ashfire908> debaser: never mind. i used alt-D at save and it saved it in unix format
[18:45] <LimCore> kriel:  try:  bash /home/something/thescirpt.sh
[18:45] <debaser> Ashfire908: ok
[18:45] <Donka> anyone know why when i try to burn a dvd it says could not determine size of resulting image file?
[18:45] <Ashfire908> thanks anyway
[18:45] <Donka> with k3b
[18:46] <debaser> Ashfire908: but save that file because you might use it in a case like this
[18:46] <kriel> LimCore: sorry. you had to see the earlier conversation. button, as in, a custom application launcher on a gnome toolbar.
[18:46] <LimCore> Donka: try googling for that error msg
[18:46] <Donka> k
[18:46] <bruenig> Donka, try burning it from command line and see if it gives you an error
[18:46] <larffa> Is there someone who could help me get sounds working on IBM Thinkpad 600E laptop, I've tried every single guides that are on the net but I still couldn't get the sounds work :c If there is some pro out here that would like to help me please q me =)
[18:46] <LimCore> kriel: bash scriptname
[18:46] <LimCore> larffa: people in #alsa  but they are away often, be patient (hours)
[18:46] <docgnome> larffa: what kind of sound card is it?
[18:47] <LimCore> larffa: or some alsa mailing list or forum
[18:47] <larffa> docgnome: where can I look that up?
[18:48] <tarjei_> the file is gone from my desktop
[18:48] <docgnome> larffa: you might try googling tech specs on that laptop. That's an important bit of info that anyone who would try to help is going to need to know.
[18:48] <debaser> tarjei_: where has it gone? to /usr/local/bin?
[18:48] <tarjei_> i don't know
[18:48] <debaser> god
[18:48] <LimCore> larffa:   lspci   lsusb  and hwinfo  might be helpfull tools to know what card u have
[18:49] <Donka> bruenig: how do i burn it from command line?
[18:49] <debaser> tarjei_: download it again and insert the above commands
[18:49] <docgnome> larffa: after that you should figure out if your card is even detected
[18:49] <debaser> tarjei_: that's easier than trying to find it
[18:49] <bruenig> Donka, what are you doing exactly
[18:49] <gnuskool> larffa: type this in term, whats it say?
[18:49] <tarjei_> windows was much better at this, download the file, place it in program files, run it, answer a few questions and done. but i guess this is simple once i learn it
[18:49] <gnuskool> larffa: aplay -l

[18:50] <LimCore> kriel: and?  ampersands?
[18:50] <Donka> bruenig: I am trying to burn a dvd I converted the avi file to dvd format with avidemux and now i am trying to copy it with k3b
[18:50] <crush_groove> kreil that may not be spelled right
[18:50] <larffa> aplay: device_list:222: no soundcards found...
[18:50] <crush_groove>  yes
[18:50] <kriel> crush_groove: i know ampersand, but i meant in the context of bash. i was thinking something like concectation (sp?) but i wasn't sure.
[18:50] <gnuskool> larffa: ok its detected, so its an alsamixer prob
[18:50] <bruenig> Donka, what do you mean dvd format, you mean it is an mpeg? or it is a directory of vobs and ifos and such?
[18:50] <mike__> is the source-o-matic up to date? there's no security repository from the generated list
[18:50] <crush_groove>  yep
[18:51] <LimCore> krel: ask #bash
[18:51] <mike__> crush_groove, you talking to me?
[18:51] <debaser> tarjei_; and that's not because windows was much better at it, that's because the developers developed with much more love the windows version
[18:51] <debaser> tarjei_: that's common
[18:51] <tarjei_> well, the program runs fine in linux it's not that
[18:51] <kiiz> cdma FWT and kubuntu. is it possible
[18:51] <larffa> gnuskool: ok any easy way to detect and repair it?
[18:52] <tarjei_> it is just there is a lot of problems placing it in "program files" here
[18:52] <Donka> bruenig: it is mpeg with a few other small files like .idx .qs  .stat
[18:52] <FremntC> && is 'Logical AND'

[18:52] <debaser> tarjei_: but they didn't provide any gui configuration nor instructions to install it correctly
[18:52] <mike__> is the source-o-matic up to date? there's no security repository from the generated list
[18:52] <crush_groove> kreil concatenate ?
[18:52] <bruenig> Donka, ok yeah you need to get that into vobs and such, you can do it with mencoder, or transcode,
[18:53] <tarjei_> i ran the console edition in windows as well
[18:53] <Donka> bruenig: oh is mencoder another program I need to get to make those?
[18:53] <debaser> tarjei_: maybe you should just create a folder in your home named bin, save the file there, and go do the session startup programs add
[18:53] <crush_groove>  is && used for "cat" ?
[18:53] <debaser> tarjei_: let me tell you it socks
[18:53] <tarjei_> this way i can run one program per core
[18:53] <gnuskool> larffa: when u look in alsamixer, are any channels grey, thats muted, green is unmuted
[18:53] <bruenig> Donka, you can pick one of those programs and read the man page on how to transcode to dvd
[18:53] <debaser> *sucks ee
[18:54] <debaser> tarjei_: in linux you don't need to
[18:54] <Donka> bruenig: oh ok thanks I'll try that
