[08:44] <bruenig> person, obviously changes person to person but the template if you will
[08:44] <sam_> i dont know why it wont work
[08:44] <sakaa> pike_ like this?
[08:44] <pike_> sakaa: yep
[08:44] <sam_> it just comes up in the archive manager
[08:44] <person> bruenig: adduser person...then the password when it prompts for it
[08:44] <sam_> but it wont install
[08:44] <aarcane_> Pike_, no, an installed system...
[08:44] <sam_> whereas i installed flash player
[08:44] <aarcane_> I think I did something to make it not start....
[08:44] <sakaa> pike_ great ok, so did u install ur graphics card succesfully?
[08:44] <sam_> using deb and it worked fine
[08:45] <sam_> so can i ask the stupidist of all questions
[08:45] <sam_> how do you install software on ubuntu?
[08:45] <pike_> aarcane_: you can turn off splash at grub by hitting the e key to edit and remove it form the kernel line. it might be hanging up on something
[08:45] <sam_> (i can use synaptic)
[08:45] <bruenig> person, can't you set the password with -p
[08:45] <ikon> i need help with my soundcard
[08:45] <bruenig> person, so you don't have to wait for the prompt
[08:46] <sam_> anyonr willing to help me
[08:46] <sakaa> pike_ hallo?
[08:46] <sam_> i might seem like a bit of a lost cause at times, but i do try
[08:46] <sam_> ^_^
[08:46] <pike_> sakaa: yeah. as long as its not a very new nvidia card you can do 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx; sudo nvidia-xconfig;' and hit alt-ctrl-backspace then you should see nvidia logo at login screen. old cards need nvidia-glx-legacy very new cards nvidia-glx-new
[08:46] <peeps> anyone know if there is a linux equivalent to launchy?
[08:46] <bruenig> peeps, what is that
[08:46] <peeps> http://www.launchy.net/
[08:46] <kennnethaar> peeps: kooldock?
[08:47] <What_the_Deuce> anyone? how do i mount in the kubuntu live cd
[08:47] <mike24> in ubuntu it says my ntfs partition is unknown, can anyone help fix this
[08:47] <peeps> an app for launching applications quickly with just keyboard
[08:47] <person> bruenig, I'm not sure, when I do adduser it prompts for the new unix password
[08:47] <sam_> no one can help me?
[08:47] <bruenig> person, right but if you do adduser username -p password, does it set it
[08:47] <pike_> sakaa: if anything goes wrong do this alt-ctrl-f2 then login then type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and choose vesa for the driver. thats the generic one then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart thatll at least git gui back
[08:47] <kennnethaar> peeps: forget it. Was thinking of something else. You wan't lineak
[08:47] <sakaa> pike_ yea here's the thing i installed like the newest "binary" drivers for it directly from nvidia, but which worked as i went into the gui straight after wards i got the "desktop effects" working but now i cannot acces it all not even if i set the driver to be vesa
[08:48] <ikon> no sound here
[08:48] <person> bruenig, no it doesn't, doesn't recognize option p
[08:48] <kennnethaar> KDE has pretty god shortcut configuratins
[08:48] <mike24>  in ubuntu it says my ntfs partition is unknown, any ideas?
[08:48] <InterNut> I have one update avail, but when trying to download and apply it i get : E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libmjpegtools0_1%3a1.8.0-0.4_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libmjpegutils-1.8.so.0.0.0', which is also in package libmjpegtools0c2a. how can i fix this? Thanks
[08:49] <stefg> peeps: in linux thit's called a console with autocompletion... actually this is a copy of a unix/linux concept, and you'll find applets with this functionality for the gnome and kde panels
[08:49] <sakaa> pike_ the thing is that the 8800 gts is very new is not really supported generically by ubuntu even tho they say so.. so other people told me to do it this way but now i can't make it work at all
[08:49] <bruenig> person, do the usernames have any pattern to them, like will it be user1 user2 user3, so that it can be easily scripted
[08:49] <person> no, however, they would be on a spreadsheet...I'm not sure if that would make it easier or harder, though
[08:50] <Elemental> hello all
[08:50] <hippie> whats a recomendation for a good sound card for linux? looking for best music sound quality
[08:50] <peeps> stefg, i know about autocompletion in terminals, i want to combine that with for ex Alt-F2 functionality.  i don't want a persistent terminal, just a quick box that i start to type a command, and it can autocomplete and i hit enter, the app launches, and I don't see the box again till i press the hotkey again
[08:50] <jo3_> creative soundblaster is my fav
[08:50] <pike_> sakaa: seems like sound advise i normally use th nvidia installer myself. only problem is that if you do an auto update and the kernel is replaced you have to rerun it.  id /join #ubuntu-effects and as there also im afraid i dont have any exp with the beryl/compiz stuff
[08:51] <person> bruenig, they are all different because it is people's names, but i could get them off a spreadsheet
[08:51] <doron> well, the kernel wasnt the problem :S
[08:51] <soyporti> I can't copy the feisty cd from ubuntu shipping. Why?
[08:51] <sakaa> pike_ ok thanks how do i do that? also would u know to remove the new driver and just go back to the vesa one?
[08:51] <doron> how can I change the resolution of framebuffer ? (tty)
[08:52] <doron> vga=bla thingy on grub doesnt work (my tty gets funky)
[08:52] <mike24> :(
[08:52] <sam_> hey: whats the radio feature and how do you use it on rythmbox
[08:52] <bruenig> person, here is how I would do it, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28257/
[08:52] <jo3_> here is good refrence for linux sound card/driver sutff http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/index.php?vendor=vendor-Creative_Labs#matrix
[08:53] <pike_> sakaa: sudo NV*.run --uninstall  should remove the nvidia pacakge. i dont think that is your problem though. just replacing nvidia with vesa in xorg.conf is all you need to to do. if the login screen comes up then id assume its a problem with the wm
[08:53] <slasher> hey, anyone wanna help me with an ati driver issue?
[08:53] <sam_> no one?
[08:53] <doron> whats a rythembox ? :)
[08:53] <sam_> rhythmbox music player
[08:53] <meitar> I've just installed Ubuntu 7.04 with a static IP address, but when I try to ping anything (anything at all except localhost), I get "Destination Host Unreachable" error messages, even though it seems that /etc/network/interfaces and friends are configured properly. What else might I be missing? Is there any recommended guide online about setting up networking that touches on things other than this set of config files?
[08:54] <sam_> its bundled with breezy
[08:54] <person> bruenig, so then i would just have to enter the password each time right? That's not a problem if I have to, at least this makes it easier
[08:54] <sam_> is it not in newer versions?
[08:54] <doron> meitar, flush the routes
[08:54] <sakaa> pike_ aight thank u! it does not, how did i join that other chat room, i found this by google
[08:54] <doron> meitar, and add a default route to ur gateway
[08:54] <bruenig> person, yeah you would, I think that is a security measure, part of linux, ensures that scripts can't take over your system
[08:54] <bruenig> by making sure there is an actual person there to put the password
[08:55] <meitar> doron: I had done 'route add default gw <gw-ip-address>' with no luck.
[08:55] <person> bruenig, that makes sense
[08:55] <headcloud> can anyone help me with problems installing/configuring on a PPC G5?
[08:55] <sam_> whats the best media player for feisty?
[08:55] <doron> meitar, what kind of network is it ? ethernet/wireless
[08:55] <Elemental> sam: VLC
[08:55] <person> bruenig, thanks a lot that's exactly what we needed...i appreciate you writing it up and the guy next to me says you rock
[08:55] <pike_> sakaa: /join #ubuntu-effects
[08:55] <sam_> (or what does everyone use)
[08:55] <meitar> Ethernet.
[08:56] <jasonbuntu> im trying to read /proc/driver/nvidia files, but when i open them with gedit, they appear blank, how do i read these files? the text icon in nautilus appears to be properly showing me a quick text preview of the file.  how do i view these?
[08:56] <ompaul> meitar, does the network do dhcp before you go trying to work out stuff?
[08:56] <meitar> ompaul: No, this is a statically configured IP range.
[08:56] <sakaa> pike_ ok , it does seem like there are anybody there tho?
[08:56] <meitar> I thought that theoretically to add a new box I would simply need to use an IP address that wasn't already used, and tell it where to find things like nameservers and whatnot.
[08:56] <ompaul> meitar, so what is in the top box? the second box? and the third box?
[08:57] <InterNut> I have one update avail, but when trying to download and apply it i get : E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libmjpegtools0_1%3a1.8.0-0.4_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libmjpegutils-1.8.so.0.0.0', which is also in package libmjpegtools0c2a. how can i fix this? Thanks
[08:57] <person> bruenig, oh wait, do I have to put the actual script somehewehere special
[08:57] <doron> paste /etc/network/interfaces related stuff the the specific eth interface
[08:57] <jo3_> meitar can you pastebin the output of route -n
[08:57] <sakaa> pike_ would u know any other resource that might have a solution?
[08:57] <meitar> ompaul: Not sure what you're trying to ask. jo3_, doron, sure just a sec.
[08:57] <bruenig> person, just write it, make it executable and the do /path/to/script
[08:57] <ompaul> meitar, you using the gui?
[08:58] <meitar> ompaul: No, the CLI.
[08:58] <ompaul> ahh
[08:58] <ompaul> meitar, I only have configs for static on debian boxes like that
[08:58] <doron> how can I change the resolution of framebuffer ? (tty)
[08:58] <peeps> i managed to lock up my gnome panel, if i kill it and restart it will it kill the things in my system tray?
[08:59] <jo3_> doron use a vga statement at the end of your kernel line in grub
[08:59] <person> bruenig, so I just write it up and save it and then using the terminal cd to it and just enter the name of it right?
[08:59] <doron> jo3_, then the tty goes funky on me
[08:59] <bruenig> person, cd to it, then do chmod +x name, then ./name
[08:59] <doron> jo3_, I see all sorts of colours...
[08:59] <person> bruenig, perfect thanks a lot
[08:59] <caner> can someone help me to change my keyboard layout
[08:59] <jo3_> hmm
[09:00] <doron> jo3_, tried few combi from the ubuntu help, none works well
[09:00] <caner> it became arabic and i cant fix it
[09:00] <jo3_> thats how i do it.. i use vga=791
[09:00] <pike_> sakaa: there is if it only shows you then the channel name is wrong
[09:00] <ompaul> meitar, etc/network/interfaces working for me here http://pastebin.ubuntu-nl.org/28259/
[09:00] <meitar> jo3_, doron: This is route -n, after I tried adding that default route I mentioned: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28260/
[09:00] <sakaa> pike_ yes i think ive found it now, thank u very much for ur help
[09:01] <pike_> sakaa: typically what i do is a google search like 'site:ubuntuforums.org myproblem'
[09:01] <ompaul> meitar, that is a machine that does not have an external ip ;-)
[09:01] <doron> jo3_, when I use 791 I see a mirror of my desktop but with funky colours
[09:01] <pike_> sakaa: np
[09:01] <pike_> sakaa: the forums are starting to become a huge resource with all the archived stuff
[09:01] <jo3_> and <IP_ADDRESS> is your GW correct?
[09:02] <meitar> ompaul: Speak to me like I'm a child. Giving it an address in /etc/network/interfaces, which ifconfig seems to report back to me without issue, doesn't give it an external IP if that IP is not being used elsewhere?
[09:02] <caner> hey pike_ can u help me to restore my keyboard layout.
[09:02] <meitar> jo3_: Yeah, <IP_ADDRESS> is my gw.
[09:02] <parmenides> jrib I am back and problem is solved...
[09:02] <ompaul> meitar, ehh, 10. drop that you don't have  65k machines
[09:03] <jo3_> ompaul it does not matter if hes only got 3 machines... just a range
[09:03] <jo3_> its a private range
[09:03] <doron> ompaul, its the default value of alot routers
[09:03] <caner> hey jo3_ can u help me to restore my keyboard layout.
[09:04] <gaston_silva> I might know about keyboard layouts
[09:04] <gaston_silva> which is the problem?
[09:04] <ompaul> doron, silly makers of said routers :)  the only time I use 10. is for people working from home on openvpn
[09:04] <bruenig> person, you may wish to make it look like this, if not once you do actually run the thing you will just get "enter unix password:" 100 times in a row and you might lose track of who you are entering, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28262/ (just added a line under the for)
[09:05] <doron> jo3_, what Im trying to eachieve is to have a 80cols 50 rows tty, is the re another way instead of grubs vga= ?
[09:05] <meitar> Well, 10 or 192.168 shouldn't matter, right? I mean, either way I have enough IPs free.
[09:05] <jo3_> ya
[09:05] <Anlar> it really does not matter. all that it means is that it's private address and treated as bogon elsewhere, not routable
[09:05] <IceLink> gey gaston_silva you reminded me on something... may it be possible to easy-switch keyboard layout by simple clicking on a keyor so?
[09:05] <jo3_> doron not that i know of.. im sure there is tho
[09:05] <younghacker> can i configure evolution to read my web mail account?
[09:05] <doron> I use 10.xxxx for my office, Im too lazy to start doing 192.168.xxxx on every machine
[09:06] <gaston_silva> you can change layout at preferences/keyboard
[09:06] <doron> jo3_, baahhhhh :(
[09:06] <meitar> Well that's fine by me. I just want this machine to be able to talk to the others. It shouldn't be too complicated, but for some reason (probably because I'm missing something, no doubt), it's not working (yet).
[09:06] <Anlar> in fact you can use really anything behind your nat, it's just slightly risky.
[09:06] <meitar> So what do I need to do that I haven't to give it an external IP? Assigning it a static free one isn't enough, apparently?
[09:06] <RustySford> hello all. I'm trying to install my nvidia drivers so I can up the resolution got everything alright but to install it it says I need to stop my xserver. Not to keen on linux yet. how do I do this?
[09:06] <Endlessguitar> hello
[09:06] <ZeZu> I'm trying to install open office via rpm (the ubuntu version wont play vids in impress), and i'm getting failed deps that are installed, anyone know why ?  (/bin/sh is one of them and libgnomevfs)
[09:07] <Ominous> whats the way that you access root again?
[09:07] <younghacker> Can i configure evolution to work with my web mail account?
[09:07] <jo3_> meitar is your gw another linux box?
[09:07] <Endlessguitar> which one is the best muscal player with winamp skins?
[09:07] <meitar> Yes.
[09:07] <jo3_> xmms used to be, but its not supported anymore
[09:07] <gaston_silva> you can stop xserver by changing your session to terminal safe
[09:07] <person> bruenig, awesome, both worked anyway
[09:07] <gaston_silva> you can do that at loggin window
[09:08] <doron> meitar, can u ping local machines ?
[09:08] <Sonicadvance1> Oi, I need help in Fixing Grub error 22 =D
[09:08] <Fedman> Hoe can I uninstall wine if I installed it from source?
[09:08] <RustySford> k what afeter that gaston_silva? is it just in services?
[09:08] <frojnd> how  can i shut down by command system?
[09:08] <doron> sudo halt
[09:08] <younghacker> is there a way to make evolution read web mail accounts?
[09:08] <meitar> doron: No. It doesn't matter what address I specify, ping always returns Destination Host Unreachable.   How do I properly configure my monitor and supported resolutions without using the command line?
[09:12] <younghacker> definately would @ doron
[09:12] <doron> TheCreationist, ummm.... u cant ? :)
[09:12] <ZeZu> why w/o command line ?
[09:12] <bobsomebody> TheCreationist, you have to edit the xorg.conf in /etc/X11
[09:12] <Endlessguitar> hello
[09:12] <bobsomebody> it is the only way
[09:12] <Endlessguitar> which musical is best with winamp skins ?
[09:12] <TheCreationist> Okay, so could someone give me to the reconfigure command again?
[09:12] <bobsomebody> its simple too
[09:12] <Endlessguitar> for linux
[09:12] <doron> I know there is some tool called Xfree86config
[09:12] <IceLink> Dapper doesn't support Beryl? . . .
[09:12] <Endlessguitar> "musical player
[09:13] <bobsomebody> TheCreationist, open the file and find the section called Moniter
[09:13] <doron> which will allow u to do that with X
[09:13] <Truckin> Linux.....I likey......newbie
[09:13] <Sonicadvance1> I have a 20" running at 1680x1050.
[09:13] <bobsomebody> you will see the screen res's
[09:13] <meitar> doron, ifconfig at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28263/
[09:13] <meitar> Everything's pretty much default. Both are UP.
[09:13] <bobsomebody> i have 6 screens and 3 machines from one keyboard and mouse so screw everyones big flat panels
[09:14] <bobsomebody> :P
[09:14] <doron> meitar,  w00t ?!
[09:14] <lazz0> bobsomebody, showoff
[09:14] <bobsomebody> no
[09:14] <TheCreationist> I don't want to run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg because it screws up my video drivers.
[09:14] <doron> meitar,  r u sure thats everything ??
[09:14] <bobsomebody> if i wanted to show off i would paste the url's to the pics
[09:15] <bobsomebody> im just talking sheet
[09:15] <younghacker> lol
[09:15] <bobsomebody> :)
[09:15] <lazz0> :)))
[09:15] <doron> meitar,  check cables and lights on the ethernet card
[09:15] <Lost-Mania> id like some help please : i installed frostwire and then they ask me a nickname for irc
[09:15] <bobsomebody> yo
[09:15] <bobsomebody> get this
[09:15] <younghacker> there should be a default gateway address as well
[09:15] <Lost-Mania> i i dont wanna use irc on it
[09:15] <meitar> doron: i trimmed it, sorry.
[09:15] <bobsomebody> i got an old laptop, hp, bad screen, bad touch  pad, bad keyboard
[09:15] <bobsomebody> wont run windows
[09:15] <meitar> What I meant was, both interfaces report UP, RUNNING, etc.
[09:15] <doron> meitar, hrmmm,,, really, try the cables
[09:15] <doron> oh
[09:15] <Sonicadvance1> What video driver are you using TheCreationist that screws it up? also, you could manually edit the xorg.conf file in /etc/X11
[09:15] <bobsomebody> but linux server hauls ass on 1.1 / 128mb
[09:15] <younghacker> if your not reaching that via ping i would check the manner that you are receiving the address
[09:16] <bobsomebody> meitar, whats ur prob?
[09:16] <meitar> I can't ping anything at all except localhost.
[09:16] <Lost-Mania> lol
[09:16] <TheCreationist> Sonicadvance1: I'm using whatever driver Ubuntu installed automatically when I enabled Desktop Effect.  It's for nVidia, but when I run dpkg-reconfigure, it selects Vesa by default.. I have no clue which I really need.
[09:16] <meitar> I'm pretty sure I screwed up some configuration somewhere, but not sure what.
[09:17] <younghacker> right so your not addressed correctly or at worst check your wiring
[09:17] <doron> meitar, beats me.... sry...
[09:17] <TheCreationist> Sonicadvance1: I know in KDE there's a program that lets you detect the monitor and supported resolutions automatically.  Is there no such thing in Gnome?
[09:17] <bobsomebody> TheCreationist, you should not need to edit anything other than the xorg.conf
[09:17] <bobsomebody> unless you want dual head
[09:17] <Sonicadvance1> Have you tried selecting nvidia instead of vesa when doing reconfigure?
[09:17] <younghacker> that mask looks a little shady for a class a is it typed correctly? ,,, ((just guessing))
[09:17] <TheCreationist> Sonicadvance1: I was afraid to.  Ubuntu isn't very stable for me when I make unnecessary changes like that ;)
[09:17] <bobsomebody> oh and its nVidia?
[09:18] <TheCreationist> bobsomebody: How do I add the resolutions?  Do I need to space them out properly or any specific formatting?
[09:18] <bobsomebody> TheCreationist, make sure you backup xorg too, because if it crashes you need to reload it
[09:18] <TheCreationist> bobsomebody: Also, I'm not sure exactly all the resolutions this monitor supports, so to add them manually would basically be a guessing game for me.
[09:18] <Sonicadvance1> Lol, Not sure what you can do then besides manually editing the file, I have nvidia as my current driver and I had to run that command to get my 1680x1050 resolution and it ran fine afterwards
[09:19] <bobsomebody> TheCreationist, you will see a section called moniters, in there it will list resolutions, just add it to the front of the 3 resolutions there already and restart X
[09:19] <Lost-Mania> can someone help me about frostwire ?
[09:19] <bobsomebody> TheCreationist, pastebin your xorg ill edit it for u :)
[09:19] <sjoerd__> How van i make another partition my home mpa?
[09:19] <bobsomebody> or show u where to edit it
[09:19] <sjoerd__> How van i make another partition my home mpa?
[09:20] <bobsomebody> hey, anyone ever put ubuntu on the old dell insperon 1100's?
[09:20] <Ind[y] > In order for the service mysql to function properly, do I need to have enabled also, mysql-ndb and mysql-ndb-mgm?
[09:20] <bobsomebody> it keeps saying it found a scsi
[09:20] <bobsomebody> Ind[y] , i dont think so
[09:21] <djl> I am receiving this error when typing 'apt-get update'

[09:21] <djl> any help?
[09:21] <omkar86> gnome seems slow on my system, wat are other good window managers?
[09:21] <djl> i am trying to install amap
[09:21] <bobsomebody> omkar86, try the KDE version?
[09:21] <Ind[y] > bobslaede: ok, thank you
[09:21] <mgedmin> omkar86: icewm is one
[09:21] <kitche> djl: seems like the security.ubuntu.com is broken right now
[09:21] <mgedmin> omkar86: or you might try Xfce
[09:21] <djl> suggestions?
[09:22] <bobsomebody> djl, amap?
[09:22] <bobsomebody> u mean LAMP?
[09:22] <James296> is it possible to remove all the selection borders when I click on buttons in Ubuntu? like the selection border that goes around each button I click
[09:22] <djl> bobsomebody
[09:22] <omkar86> ok
[09:22] <djl> no THC-AMAP
[09:22] <James296> anyone have any idea what Im talking about?
[09:22] <bobsomebody> oh
[09:22] <bobsomebody> never heard of it
[09:22] <djl> tool similar to NMAP
[09:22] <bobsomebody> James296, no clue
[09:22] <bobsomebody> oh
[09:23] <bobsomebody> djl, so u r trying to update thc-amap?
[09:23] <zachary> omkar86 KDE is another great window manager, you might like ICEWM if you have a low spec system also
[09:23] <Ominous> do you need a firewall on ubuntu?
[09:23] <James296> what I mean is, you know in Firefox, when you click a link, a rectangle selection border goes around the link you click?
[09:23] <wifenfeffer> hi, how do I make pam_usb work ?
[09:23] <bobsomebody> Ominous, YES, always define your IPTABLES
[09:23] <James296> I know you can remove that in Firefox using about:config
[09:23] <James296> but how can I remove it for everything else?
[09:23] <Ominous> what ports does "Networking" use?
[09:24] <djl> bobsomebody: i am trying to install it but THC-AMAP does not include the rpm just the source for compiling
[09:24] <pike_> Ominous: you have iptables but the rules arent set. the short answer is probably not. you can install firestarter though which is a gui front end to iptables
[09:24] <omkar86> where I can learn abt networking , various servers and their maintainance?
[09:24] <djl> i am trying to avoid installing the dependencies for gcc to compile it
[09:24] <James296> well?
[09:24] <bobsomebody> djl, your probably not going to get around that
[09:25] <bobsomebody> djl, but i could be wrong
[09:25] <RustySford> hey i'm back..the terminal failsafe didnt work it still says that x server appears to be running any other ideas? i'm on feisty that's probably why it's didn't work or something
[09:25] <djl> that stinks
[09:25] <djl> okay
[09:25] <djl> well the other issue is just updating
[09:25] <zachary> omkar86 try wikipedia
[09:25] <djl> i keep getting the "Could not download all repository indexes"
[09:25] <pike_> RustySford: after typeing sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop it says x is still running?
[09:25] <bobsomebody> did you do sudo apt-get update *packname*
[09:26] <djl> tried...
[09:26] <zachary> Ominus what do you mean what ports?
[09:26] <djl> keep getting the gzip returned error code (1)
[09:27] <RustySford> bobsomebody: got it off the site. I got it running just need to stop the x server before the install helper can continue
[09:27] <pi3> hippie, I get the error "No package 'libwnck-1.0' found" when trying to compile awn, what can I do?
[09:27] <bobsomebody> Ominous, it really depends on the ports your computer is using, i think 8 and 10 are the only "default" ones, everything else you gotta add
[09:28] <bobsomebody> so can someone help me now? :P
[09:29] <bobsomebody> my install is failing on my laptop, Dell insperon 1100
[09:29] <bobsomebody> it says its finding a scsi disk, is this right?
[09:29] <bobsomebody> i dont think i have one in there, it also finds the hda
[09:29] <chadeldridge> when i plug my external USB drive it tells me i need to mount it in Windows twice in order to be able to use it in ubuntu ... i have no windows machines around and the force mount option doesnt work ... any ideas ?
[09:29] <bobsomebody> it starts defining sda (scsi 0) and just hangs forever
[09:30] <pi3> bobsomebody, have you formatted the partitions correctly?
[09:30] <bobsomebody> pi3: i cant even get to that part
[09:30] <Lost-Mania> bye everyone
[09:30] <pi3> use gparted, without installing
[09:30] <bobsomebody> pi3, i used the advanced options too see why the installer would not load
[09:30] <mgedmin> pi3: install libwnck0-dev or something like that; apt-cache search should help you find the name of the -dev package
[09:30] <pi3> system>admin>gparted
[09:30] <bobsomebody> pi3, busybox loads up and finds a scsi, thats the prob i think
[09:31] <bobsomebody> pi3, i do not get to the liveCD desktop at all
[09:31] <llllllll> how do I uninstall a program I've compiled and installed myself? Is it apt-get uninstall xxx or something?
[09:31] <pike_> llllllll: alas, no
[09:31] <pi3> bobsomebody, oh.. no idea
[09:32] <chadeldridge> llllllll:  if you didnt install it from a package and compiled it yourself .. you have to delete it yourself ... apt-get is only for packages
[09:32] <bobsomebody> i always get the anomalous computer issues
[09:32] <slasher> I'm having a bit of a problem, I have the latest fglrx drivers, xgl-server, and beryl installed and working but dri doesn't work under xgl, only under the regular gnome session. I have an x1300 if it matters. is there a way to fix dri?
[09:32] <nfs> looking for a program to capture sounds played from my sound card..any suggestions? o r a way to configure it through terminal code?
[09:32] <llllllll> chadeldridge: bugger. What does that entail?
[09:32] <ryan8403> how can I force ubuntu to recognize my bluetooth card...it used to see it...i turned it off in xp then removed xp before I turned bluetooth back on
[09:33] <Sonicadvance1> Oi, I'm installing Ubuntu again with the root on one drive and /home on another, last time I tried this, it didn't work and now I'm getting error 22 from Grub, in the advanced section, how do I know if (hd0) is correct?
[09:33] <bobsomebody> ryan8403, search the user wikii for your bluetooth vard?
[09:33] <chadeldridge> IIIII:  searching through your drive and killing the files unfortunatelly.  do you know where it installed ... hopefully its in your ~\ directory and you can just delete it .. otherwise you are gonna be searchin for it
[09:33] <bobsomebody> *card not vard :P
[09:33] <chadeldridge> when i plug my external USB drive it tells me i need to mount it in Windows twice in order to be able to use it in ubuntu ... i have no windows machines around and the force mount option doesnt work ... any ideas ?
[09:33] <baghyay> i have know ( xp + fiesty )  how  can i reinstall xp without lose my ubuntu
[09:34] <baghyay> i have now ( xp + fiesty )  how  can i reinstall xp without lose my ubuntu
[09:34] <mgedmin> chadeldridge: do you know if your drive is formatted as FAT or as NTFS?
[09:34] <ryan8403> bobsomebody, a little but I haven't seen anything about it, the card is a built in dell bluetooth
[09:34] <bobsomebody> chadeldridge, you are probably going to need the USB driver for the drive or something like that
[09:34] <pike_> !mbr | baghyay
[09:34] <ubotu> baghyay: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[09:34] <chadeldridge> baghyay:  you can reinstall xp using the repair option in xp .. you will have to boot the live cd again to fix grub though
[09:34] <llllllll> ok then. Cheers
[09:34] <chadeldridge> mgedmin:  its ntfs and i have already used ntfsfix and it returns normal
[09:34] <bobsomebody> brb
[09:34] <mgedmin> chadeldridge: I think that message might mean the the filesystem was not cleanly unmounted, and Linux cannot access it until Windows does some magic
[09:35] <chadeldridge> mgedmin:  yep .. sure does, i let a friend use my external drive and he just unpluged it
[09:35] <mgedmin> I think you're out of luck, unless you can find some linux too to replay the ntfs journal or whatever
[09:35] <sam_> quit
[09:35] <mgedmin> s/too/tool/
[09:35] <chadeldridge> argh .. so find a windows box and plug it in then
[09:35] <mgedmin> yay, unbuntu installation is complete
[09:36] <slasher> no one knows of the dri issue?
[09:37] <bobsomebody> back
[09:38] <bobsomebody> ryan8403, try googleing for your cards chipset, use lspci to find what it is
[09:38] <bobsomebody> ryan8403, search for something like chipset + linux || ubuntu
[09:38] <SecretAgentQ> SecretAgentQ: Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:38] <RustySford> hmmm no luck
[09:38] <SecretAgentQ> Jamesinator: Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:38] <shwouchk> hi
[09:39] <Jamesinator> Urgh, a bot?
[09:39] <ryan8403> bobsomebody, thanks I'll give it a go and see what I can fined
[09:39] <ryan8403> *find
[09:39] <bobsomebody> gl :)
[09:39] <SecretAgentQ> bobsomebody: DON'T USE THAT SMILEY. use :-$
[09:39] <RustySford> I even hit ctrl+alt+f1 and tried to do it from there
[09:39] <bobsomebody> :)
[09:39] <SecretAgentQ> bobsomebody: DON'T USE THAT SMILEY. use :-$
[09:39] <shwouchk> for some reason, I dont have pidgin in my list of apps in synaptic - only gaim, is that normal?
[09:39] <bobsomebody> bot
[09:39] <bobsomebody> :)
[09:39] <SecretAgentQ> bobsomebody: DON'T USE THAT SMILEY. use :-$
[09:39] <bobsomebody> :-$
[09:39] <Sonicadvance1> wtf
[09:39] <SecretAgentQ> Sam330: Welcome to #ubuntu!
[09:39] <Neil-> what?
[09:39] <Jamesinator> shwouchk: I think pidgin is the former name of GAIM
[09:39] <Anlar> broken script
[09:39] <Anlar> :)
[09:39] <SecretAgentQ> Anlar: DON'T USE THAT SMILEY. use :-$
[09:39] <llllllll> So basically, uninstalling a program I've compiled myself consists of searching and deleting all the files manually? I don't need to do anything other than that to return my computer to how it was before the installation?
[09:39] <Jamesinator> !ops
[09:39] <ubotu> Help!  Somone trying to sam the l33test IRC channel around?
[09:40] <eternalswd> Neil-, a bot invaded the channel
[09:40] <RustySford> yeah
[09:40] <Neil-> lol
[09:40] <RustySford> feisty
[09:40] <slugicide> How do I add a program to the start menu and make it the default program (Azureus)?
[09:40] <RustySford> thinking that's why it's not working
[09:40] <RustySford> might need to do something differently
[09:40] <kman_> hello, how can I tell feisty to use piix.ko as ide module instead of ata_piix.ko (I want to disable libata)
[09:40] <bobsomebody> RustySford, um.... you need to get out of x somehow
[09:40] <surviver> anyone can say me how i can resize my desktop icons there to big?
[09:40] <RustySford> lol
[09:41] <bobsomebody> RustySford, did you check the user docs? on the wiki?
[09:41] <Jamesinator> surviver, right click and select "Stretch icon"
[09:41] <RustySford> yep
[09:41] <bobsomebody> that *should* be there
[09:41] <bobsomebody> hmmm
[09:41] <surviver> jamesinator, thx
[09:41] <bobsomebody> RustySford, the only way i know how to get out of X is to crash xorg on purpouse :)
[09:41] <RustySford> that's where it said to hit ctrl+alt f1 and did that...went to stright unix and it still says I apper to be running x
[09:42] <bobsomebody> RustySford, well if ur in Gnome, x is running
[09:42] <RustySford> bobsomebody: will that cause the computer to get pissed and reboot?
[09:42] <shwouchk> for some reason, I dont have pidgin in my list of apps in synaptic - only gaim, is that normal?
[09:42] <RustySford> right but I exited to the bare neccities where nothing was running but unix screen and it still says it
[09:42] <bobsomebody> RustySford, not at all, just change the driver name or something stupid like that and save it, then reboot
[09:43] <pike_> llllllll: i dunno but maybe you could dpkg -b directory packagename.deb where directory is the where you ran make then you could install and remove it. i havent used debian packaging much
[09:43] <bobsomebody> x will fail and it will drop you into command prompt and it will kill gdm so x wont load
[09:43] <bobsomebody> then you change it back, save it, do what you need to, then reboot
[09:43] <RustySford> and then I have to terminal to the file and rename it back then wont I
[09:43] <RustySford> guess it's not that big a deal
[09:43] <B-rabbit> hi everybody,i am new to ubuntu,and i was just wondering that if i could watch videos on youtube if i loaded up XP using VMware?
[09:44] <joeamined> hi, i'm having a problem with rhythmbox that can't retrieve songs lyrics and amsn that tells me my webcam is behind a firewall (i opened the necessary ports in my router). I didn't have those problems before !
[09:44] <bobsomebody> RustySford, well if you can get to terminal you just need to kill the task
[09:44] <CrazySpaz666> B-Rabbit: no need to load xp in vmware
[09:44] <shwouchk> for some reason I cant connect to wireless networks via networkmanager - my nic associates but I never get the IP - and if I run dhclient, my connection is set (although networkmanager still thinks its not...) what could cause this?
[09:44] <bobsomebody> RustySford, use "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[09:44] <bobsomebody> and....
[09:44] <shwouchk> for some reason, I dont have pidgin in my list of apps in synaptic - only gaim, is that normal?
[09:44] <bobsomebody> god whats the other one
[09:44] <RustySford> bobsomebody: did that already.....same result
[09:45] <bobsomebody> i think its X11
[09:45] <bobsomebody> X11 stop maybe
[09:45] <bobsomebody> hang on let me check something
[09:45] <joeamined> can someone help me please
[09:45] <bobsomebody> roe_ roe_ roe_ ur boat

[09:46] <RustySford> if I kill xsession manager maybe that will work.....lets find out
[09:46] <B-rabbit> CrazySpaz666:thank you
[09:46] <CrazySpaz666> no probs
[09:46] <bobsomebody> RustySford, try killing xserver-xorg-input-wacom
[09:47] <nitro4ce> how do you change the nautilus skin?
[09:47] <RustySford> well that's a fast way to logout
[09:47] <nitro4ce> i have the redhat-artwork
[09:47] <bobsomebody> RustySford, try killing xserver-xorg-input-wacom and x11-common
[09:47] <RustySford> any luck finding what you were looking for bobsomebody
[09:47] <bobsomebody> yes ^ look up ^
[09:48] <bobsomebody> you might be able to kill all three in terminal from gnome
[09:48] <bobsomebody> it might drop u into terminal then
[09:48] <shwouchk> for some reason I cant connect to wireless networks via networkmanager - my nic associates but I never get the IP - and if I run dhclient, my connection is set (although networkmanager still thinks its not...) what could cause this?
[09:49] <rdvon> How come whenever I reboot my system my wireless card doesnt work? I'm using ndiswrapper.
[09:49] <RustySford> so then the command is sude /etc/init.d/gdm stop xserver-xorg-input-wacom and x11-common or what exactly?
[09:49] <shwouchk> for some reason, I dont have pidgin in my apt - only gaim... why?
[09:49] <RustySford> sudo*
[09:49] <rdvon> ndiswrapper says that the wireless card driver is present and installed.
[09:49] <rdvon> but my wireless card isnt being used.
[09:49] <rdvon> How do i turn my wireless card on than?
[09:50] <rdvon> !wireless
[09:50] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:50] <bobsomebody> RustySford, do each one individually just like gdm
[09:50] <bobsomebody> the order shouldnt matter at all, i dont think
[09:50] <dromer> hmm, I'm trying to chroot into this disk, but I keep getting: chroot: cannot run command `/bin/bash': Permission denied  what's up with that?
[09:50] <lyn1> my links to SMB shares take forever to start ... i double click and wait 10 mins before i get a screen
[09:50] <shwouchk> for some reason I cant connect to wireless networks via networkmanager - my nic associates but I never get the IP - and if I run dhclient, my connection is set (although networkmanager still thinks its not...) what could cause this?
[09:51] <psycose> hi
[09:51] <lyn1> dromer:  try to sudo chroot
[09:51] <psycose> how could i install gcc-4.2 on feisty thanks
[09:51] <bobsomebody> dromer, try sudo chroot
[09:51] <dromer> lyn1: I did, also tried it after sudo -i
[09:51] <Ominous> argh how do you make windows network computers show up with firestarter? ( dced after i asked it a sec ago)
[09:52] <shwouchk> how do I change my apt servers to gusty?
[09:52] <dromer> bobsomebody: I did
[09:52] <bobsomebody> Ominous, do you have samba up?
[09:52] <lyn1> Anyone know what would cause windows shares to take so long to open in ubuntu ?
[09:52] <Ominous> samba?
[09:52] <bobsomebody> dromer, drop into root
[09:52] <shwouchk> how do I upgrade to gusty?
[09:53] <Lunar_Lamp> !wireless
[09:53] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[09:53] <bobsomebody> Ominous, yes, samba is the SMB networking package for linux, it allows linux and windows to network smoothly
[09:53] <dromer> bobsomebody: did it, same error
[09:53] <rich__> hi all
[09:53] <bobsomebody> hmmmm
[09:53] <bobsomebody> dromer, thats fukken strange
[09:53] <bobsomebody> rename chroot
[09:53] <dromer> yeah, never got that before ..
[09:53] <dromer> rename chroot?
[09:53] <bobsomebody> this way it wont flag it
[09:53] <bobsomebody> yeah
[09:54] <dromer> bobsomebody: I'm not sure how to use that ..
[09:54] <bobsomebody> just find the chroot file, should be in a /bin or /sbin folder somewhere
[09:55] <bobsomebody> then rename it to something else
[09:55] <bobsomebody> oh, copy it
[09:55] <bobsomebody> then rename the copy, sorry
[09:55] <ci_omegadog> hi, where is the online ubuntu server book
[09:55] <bobsomebody> this way you dont trash anything
[09:55] <ci_omegadog> i've googled it, and i can not find it
[09:55] <ci_omegadog> it's all amazon, sams, oreilly
[09:55] <bobsomebody> ci_omegadog, which one?
[09:55] <rich__> does anyone know if the wifi 'on' button at the front of an asus laptop can be programmed?
[09:55] <RustySford> grrrr. this sucks
[09:55] <bobsomebody> no luck?
[09:56] <ci_omegadog> i thought there was an official ubuntu server book put out by the distro
[09:56] <rich__> I was wondering if it directly interfaces with the card or the motherboard
[09:56] <krux> Q. is apache2-ssl-certificate suppose to be inside the apache2 package ?? or is there another package ???. I need to install ?
[09:56] <ci_omegadog> that had an online edition
[09:56] <shwouchk> how do I upgrade to gusty?
[09:56] <JC_Denton_> when can we expect monodevelop 0.14 on the ubuntu repository?
[09:56] <RustySford> no luck just to be sure the commands were...sudo /etc/init.d/x11-common stop and sudo /etc/init.d/xserver-xorg-input-wacom stop
[09:56] <bobsomebody> ci_omegadog, they have the wiki, thats about all i found
[09:56] <bobsomebody> if you beat on limewire some PDF books might fall out :)
[09:56] <RustySford> took both of them but didn't seem to do much
[09:56] <bobsomebody> WINK WINK!
[09:57] <RustySford> still says x is running maybe nvidia is just stupid
[09:57] <dromer> bobsomebody: nope, after rename .. same error
[09:57] <bobsomebody> dromer, im at a loss then
[09:57] <pike_> RustySford: well does ps -A show X running?
[09:57] <RustySford> I don't even know if it will work. just seems like 1024x768 is a bit low
[09:57] <dromer> gah, maybe try reboot then :(
[09:57] <bobsomebody> RustySford, is that all your trying to do? just up the screen res?
[09:58] <ci_omegadog> yeah, i could do pdfchm, but i thought there was a guide
[09:58] <ci_omegadog> provided by the distro
[09:58] <bobsomebody> RustySford, go pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:58] <ci_omegadog> am i wrong
[09:58] <ci_omegadog> ?
[09:58] <bobsomebody> ci_omegadog, not that i know of, check ubuntu.com, im sure they would advertise it if they make one
[09:58] <RustySford> well xorg is running
[09:58] <RustySford> but even after I run that stop command it still is
[09:59] <bobsomebody> kill the task
[09:59] <RustySford> bodsomebody: yeah I'm at max for the defalut ones
[09:59] <bobsomebody> find the PID number next to it
[09:59] <B-rabbit> does anny one know the comman that you have to type to login as root in terminal from a normal account?
[09:59] <bobsomebody> and kill *PID*
[09:59] <RustySford> it's not in the task list I had to use that command pike gave
[09:59] <bobsomebody> B-rabbit: just use sudo its safer
[09:59] <RustySford> it has ttyl7 as a note on it
[09:59] <RustySford> or next to the name
[09:59] <bobsomebody> sudo *command name* *options*
[09:59] <nfs> looking for a program to capture sounds played from my sound card..any suggestions? o r a way to configure it through terminal code?
[10:00] <RustySford> tty*

[10:01] <bobsomebody> Synapsi, edit /etc/xorg.conf
[10:01] <rich__> have you tried editing xorg.conf with the new graphics mode you want Synapsi?
[10:02] <B-rabbit> bobsomebody: mate, i typed in this "fahmid@redsparrow:~$ sudo root password"
[10:02] <Synapsi> now that I know,I'll try
[10:02] <bobsomebody> no
[10:02] <Synapsi> thanks for it
[10:02] <B-rabbit> and it comes up with"password:"
[10:02] <rich__> Maybe the limiting factor is your monitor?
[10:02] <RustySford> um bobsomebody: if you meant to type sudo Xorg options it gave me a "fatal server error" and that's all
[10:02] <bobsomebody> B-rabbit, what you need to do is use sudo to run the command as root
[10:02] <sel> RustySford: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop    then    killall -9 gdm
[10:02] <grunt> hmm I used to use Microsoft 2.1 back in 1989 and cobol before that. Linux is slightly different to Unix

[10:07] <RustySford> hmm when I kill Xorg it just logs me out..sorta. brings me to the log in screen without actually loging out.....
[10:07] <kinections> what is the proper way of killing dhcp on ubuntu? is the only way through kill [pid] ?
[10:07] <RustySford> but even if I just try it under failsafe mode or just stright up black screen with working commands it still says x is running
[10:07] <grunt> Ubuntu is easier to use than Suse Linux Professional
[10:08] <RustySford> I think Nvidia is just dumb
[10:08] <grunt> :)
[10:08] <sel> RustySford: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop    then    killall -9 gdm
[10:08] <grunt> Nvidia is the pits
[10:08] <rich__> whats the prob RustySford? Nvidia driver?
[10:08] <sel> sry was afk
[10:08] <RustySford> sel when I do the first command I get a blank screen and commands DON"T work
[10:08] <tic> How's nVidia coming along with their proprietary drivers w/ XRaR-1.2 support?
[10:08] <RustySford> none do
[10:08] <lyn1> my links to SMB shares take forever to start ... i double click and wait 10 mins before i get a screen
[10:09] <RustySford> well rich: yeah I got the ones ubuntu wanted to install but it only allows 1024x768 res
[10:09] <RustySford> my monitor is native 1600x1200
[10:09] <RustySford> so it makes it look like junk
[10:09] <sel> do that command from the [ctrl] +[alt] +[F1} csreen after you log in there
[10:09] <rich__> ah right
[10:09] <valdas> anyone knows a keylogger for Ubuntu 7.04 amd64 ?
[10:09] <rich__> are you using 16bits or 24?
[10:09] <grunt> I daren't try and get the nvidia D on mine as my sytem bites a bullet and disappears up its own ahem!
[10:09] <B-rabbit> i am really stuck everyone, after i type in "sudo" in terminal the "password" option come's up and sfter that i cunt type any thin else in....can any body help plzzz
[10:10] <blackelf> B-rabbit: ?
[10:10] <RustySford> trying to install the offical drivers from the site..got the package from them but when I run the command to install it, it brings up the install helper like its supposed to...but it tell me "you appear to have X server running. Please disable x before continuing"
[10:10] <Jamesinator> B-rabbit: Yes, you can, the text is just hidden
[10:10] <bobsomebody> B-rabbit, the password is probably the same as ur users password
[10:10] <RustySford> and if I try to continue anyway it fails.
[10:10] <rich__> what command are you trying to run as root B-rabbit?
[10:10] <blackelf> B-rabbit: type the password and press enter (its hidden)
[10:10] <bobsomebody> oh, lmao
[10:10] <sel> yup
[10:10] <vicox> lol
[10:10] <RustySford> I'll pastebin the install log one minute maybe that would help
[10:11] <rich__> whats the model of the card?
[10:11] <bobsomebody> RustySford, pastebin xorg for me, let me see if i can up your resolution for you
[10:11] <ned__> out of curiosity, are there any good cl download managers other than wget
[10:11] <grunt> your password is the same that you first set up Ubuntu with
[10:11] <Enverex> RustySford, So do what it says, you need to close X first
[10:11] <ci_omegadog> is tcl installed by default on ubuntu?
[10:12] <RustySford> bobsomebody: sorry but what do you want again? not sure what you want
[10:12] <ci_omegadog> i can't seem to start tclsh
[10:12] <p> cant seems to get kopete on line
[10:12] <B-rabbit> thanx every one it worked!!
[10:12] <RustySford> what command I mean so many people it's hard to find a line from even 10 minutes ago
[10:12] <blackelf> B-rabbit: yey
[10:12] <grunt> its trying to get transparency I'm having problems with - emulating Vista without the trouble Vista makes for itself would be fine
[10:12] <Jamesinator> valdas: You can set up xmacrorec2 to record and append to a logfile at startup, but that's a hackish solution at best and I'm not sure if it works on amd64
[10:12] <kadakas> blackelf: Do you know any 3D modelers that are a bit more technical (like SolidWorks, Solid Edge and AutoCAD), where I could create objects via measures and export 2D drawings of my models? I want to use it only for technical stuff, not 3D graphics or cartoons :)
[10:13] <bobsomebody> RustySford, the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:13] <blackelf> grunt: ubuntu is NOT windows
[10:13] <bobsomebody> RustySford, all you want is a higher resolution right?
[10:13] <blackelf> kadakas: I bet it is possible in blender
[10:13] <blackelf> more or les
[10:13] <RustySford> bobsomebody: right
[10:13] <kadakas> I'll investigate
[10:14] <RustySford> but under the screen resolution gui it only goes to 1024
[10:14] <grunt> I know - Don't want it to be Windows - so many holes in that system...
[10:14] <rich__> you might find if you post the model of the card someone else has written a guide to do it RustySford
[10:14] <RustySford> at 50 :( :( htz even
[10:14] <p> have installed ubuntu 7.04 but i cant seems to get my ubuntu kopete to be working online, can anyone help?
[10:14] <RustySford> it's a geforce fx5700
[10:14] <RustySford> standard linux fx driver
[10:14] <bobsomebody> RustySford, yeah, pastebin the xorg.conf file for me so i can have a look at it
[10:15] <bobsomebody> thats probably where your main issue is
[10:15] <grunt> cool I'll get info in next few days (i'm preparing for holiday to Blackpool) Hey we are being deluged with H2O I need an Ark
[10:15] <RustySford> sudo: /etc/X11/Xorg.conf: command not found
[10:15] <RustySford> sudo: /etc/X11/Xorg.conf: command not found
[10:15] <RustySford> sudo: /etc/X11/Xorg.conf: command not found
[10:15] <Synapsi> I've watched the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and it's fine:1024x768,but still I can't change the resolution to 1024x768
[10:15] <RustySford> sorry
[10:15] <RustySford> didn't mean to do that
[10:15] <flask-> is anyone here running compiz fusion with cube rotation?
[10:16] <RustySford> I forgot something didn't I
[10:16] <RustySford> wget or what ever
[10:16] <rich__> no
[10:16] <bobsomebody> no
[10:16] <rich__> you need to say you want to look/edit it
[10:16] <rich__> ad gedit in there
[10:16] <RustySford> that's the one
[10:16] <bobsomebody> sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:16] <bobsomebody> or vi or nano :)
[10:16] <grunt> on Ubuntu Forums i'm grommet
[10:16] <rich__> ;)
[10:17] <rich__> emacs?
[10:17] <lyn1> why dont you just go add the resolution you want to the xorg file ... its very simple .. or if you are using nvidia then just use the nvidia-settings applet
[10:17] <Synapsi> ok to change the xorf file,but how to apply that resolution?
[10:17] <grunt> cool I'll do that
[10:17] <grunt> Ta Rich
[10:17] <instabin> any one have ubuntu setup as a transparent proxy
[10:17] <kismet> Synapsi, use nvidia-settings (type that in terminal) like lyn1 said
[10:18] <bobgill1> What program can I use to load like 10 images and view a slideshow ?
[10:18] <Synapsi> even if it's a matrox?
[10:18] <d4rkmonkey> Does anyone know anything about Sunbird? I just finished installing and wanted to install the Google Calendar extension from https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/sunbird/addon/4631 but I can't find a way to download the .xpi. When I click the install link in firefox, it tries to install it for firefox. In Sunbird, does anyone know how i can download the plugin?
[10:18] <kismet> Synapsi, no i thought you were asking regarding the nvidia
[10:18] <RustySford> sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:18] <Hizzeh> Hey guys, I've been wanting to get my hands dirty with Ubuntu (which would be my first time switching to a linux distro), but I can't. The installation freezes before I can see the virtualization from memory. Does anyone know what is goign on?
[10:18] <lyn1> just add this under modes in Section "Screen"  Modes      "1920x1440" "1920x1200" "1680x1050" "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[10:18] <shwouchk> for some reason I cant connect to wireless networks via networkmanager - my nic associates but I never get the IP - and if I run dhclient, my connection is set (although networkmanager still thinks its not...) what could cause this?
[10:18] <RustySford> I do that...and the file is blank
[10:18] <lyn1> that should cover anything you are trying to do
[10:18] <d4rkmonkey> bobgill1, fspot has a slideshow feature
[10:18] <lyn1> the file cant be blank
[10:18] <RustySford> well it is
[10:19] <RustySford> I can imageshack it for ya if you want
[10:19] <lyn1> if your in X that is not possible
[10:19] <Synapsi> ok'I'm trying...but in the graphic application I can't change the actual resolution to what I'd like to have
[10:19] <ned__> d4rkmonkey: right-click on "install now" and click on "Save Link As..."
[10:19] <rich__> Hizzeh no i dont... cant you give any specifics regarding your hardware and the ubuntu version your trying to install?
[10:19] <kismet> RustySford, the characters are case sensitive :/
[10:19] <grunt> are there other servers other than Ubuntu of this IRC node?
[10:19] <lyn1> X11 not x11
[10:19] <d4rkmonkey> I'll try that ned__
[10:19] <RustySford> .....
[10:19] <RustySford> there we go
[10:19] <lyn1> :-D
[10:19] <RustySford> stupid case sensitive
[10:19] <kismet> :p
[10:19] <RustySford> "you're as funny as a case sensitive search engine"
[10:19] <d4rkmonkey> thanks ned__ I'm suprised I didn't think of that, I'm usually smarter
[10:19] <rich__> lol
[10:19] <lyn1> roffle
[10:20] <rich__> Desktop and desktop never gets old ;)
[10:20] <CppIsWeird> i right clicked on a drive that was automatically mounted and changed where it mounted to automatically, and i messed up the mount point, now every time i plug in that external drive, i get an error message, where do i go to undo what i did by right clicking and modifying the properties??
[10:20] <ned__> d4rkmonkey: no problem :) it's odd looking, but it's just a dressed up link
[10:20] <lyn1> anyone have a shotgun so i can put some holes in samba ... arrrgh
[10:20] <grunt> :-D smiles all round here cool
[10:20] <RustySford> 24-bit depth is the same as 32 right?
[10:20] <d4rkmonkey> yes RustySford
[10:20] <RustySford> just people want to sound cool
[10:20] <kismet> heh
[10:21] <d4rkmonkey> 32 bit is 24 bit and 8 alpha channels I think... thats why its just called 24bit in xorg
[10:21] <rich__> CppIsWeird, i dont know the 'proper' way to do it, but when i have done that i manually mount it and then delete the options.
[10:21] <lyn1> why ohh why must i communicate with windows machines ... makes my linux machine run like poo
[10:21] <d4rkmonkey> lol lyn1
[10:21] <kismet> i have vista installed on dual boot, haven't even installed the vga drivers :/
[10:21] <sean__> how can i make it so my nautilus link starts at / instead of /home/me
[10:21] <grunt> this mount/unmount seems to have a sexual connatation - well that's what my missus said
[10:22] <kismet> sean__, type gksudo nautilus from terminal, or press alt+f2 and type gksudo nautilus
[10:22] <sean__> lol
[10:22] <grunt> doh
[10:22] <blackelf> how to have aptitude fallback to direct connection if proxy doestn work
[10:22] <Jamesinator> lyn1: I used to have that problem, but I fixed it by "sudo cp /media/hdb1/ ~/winstuff" and then booting into my Windows partition and typing "format C:" :D
[10:22] <Jamesinator> Buh-bye Windows
[10:22] <Synapsi> I've watched the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and it's fine:1024x768,but still I can't change the resolution to 1024x768, what to do?
[10:22] <rich__> CppIsWeird, you will need to unmount it first using umount
[10:22] <sean__> kismet: that starts it from /home/sean though, i want it to start at /
[10:23] <lyn1> haha .. well i have no windows on this box ... but i have to talk to an AD network that hates my linux box and just barely works with it ... takes 10 mins to launch samba shares some times
[10:23] <blackelf> is there something like ubuntu but not lam^H but more professional
[10:23] <kismet> sean__, if you type gksudo nautilus it won't start in /home/sean
[10:23] <ompaul> Synapsi, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, when done restart gnome (log out and back in)
[10:23] <kismet> lyn1, vmware!! :p
[10:23] <Slart> is there an easy way to print the exit-code of the last program run in the terminal? anything easier than writing a small bash script with an if-then thingy?
[10:23] <lyn1> haha
[10:23] <RustySford> okay I tired to edit it myself but it's confusing to me I'll pastebin it now...wow it's taking a long time to upload. didn't know it was that big
[10:23] <lyn1> windows makes me hurt in my special place .. so no thanks
[10:23] <sean__> kismet: it starts at /root/
[10:23] <kismet> sean__, that is "/"
[10:23] <RustySford> or maybe the server is just busy
[10:24] <RustySford> I like windows cause I alrady have mastered it
[10:24] <sean__> kismet: no, because then all i see is a link to desktop, not all my folders within /
[10:24] <Jamesinator> lyn1: Put an ext3 partition on it with Ubuntu Server and install a SSH server. You can mount your windows partition, and use SSHFS on your local Ubuntu PC to mount your remote windows mountpoint.
[10:24] <rich__> MS havnt even mastered it
[10:24] <RustySford> dont need to go through junk like this just to do what I'm trying ot do
[10:24] <jabarkhan> Hello all
[10:24] <lyn1> jamesinator:  that is the hokyest thing i have ever heard ... crazy enough to actually be something i would try ... lol
[10:24] <RustySford> http://textpaste.net/5vvfp7
[10:25] <RustySford> pastebin was too busy.....was talking like wayy to long
[10:25] <Jamesinator> lyn1: Query me if you want help >:-D
[10:25] <preaction> RustySford: linux is like a newly-fixed lightswitch, you're used to the old broken lightswitch so when the new one works better you want the old broken one
[10:25] <kismet> sean__, if you want a particular location to be accessed, right click on the desktop and click on launcher. There under command put in nautilus "location here", without the quotes
[10:25] <RustySford> yeah but i never get messed on windows
[10:25] <shwouchk> for some reason I cant connect to wireless networks via networkmanager - my nic associates but I never get the IP - and if I run dhclient, my connection is set (although networkmanager still thinks its not...) what could cause this?
[10:25] <wren> could anybody tell me how to reboot into a vga console without changing the default bootup?
[10:25] <RustySford> windows runs fine as long as the user doesn't do stupid things
[10:25] <rich__> no its more windows doing stupid things
[10:25] <RustySford> linux is nice cause it's hard to screw it up when messing around
[10:25] <jabarkhan> Looking for some help on setting up my webcam (MSI - Starcam 370i) on ubuntu 7.04 ?
[10:25] <preaction> wren: when grub shows up, hit Esc for the menu and choose "Safe mode"
[10:25] <kismet> wren, press alt+f2, or open terminal and type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[10:25] <RustySford> nope I disagree deeply
[10:25] <RustySford> my windows never has issues
[10:25] <Jamesinator> RustySford: A user not doing stupid things would mean not using Windows in the first place
[10:26] <wren> cool thanks
[10:26] <RustySford> cuase I've been using it since 3.1.1

[10:26] <ubotu> RustySford: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should (and especially recommend to others). Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.

[10:26] <rich__> i did a new install once, left it for 3 days with updates, came back and it was Oding on trojans
[10:26] <Sonicadvance1> I seem to be getting grub error 17 again
[10:26] <hume> anyone knows how to adjust vertically in tvout?
[10:26] <kismet> Sonicadvance1, unplug external drive and boot up
[10:26] <RustySford> hey tell that to the person that brought it up ubotu :-P
[10:26] <lyn1> RustySford:  Take where you see your other resolutions line ... the Mode line where you see like 1024 and all those .. and replace it with this     Modes      "1920x1440" "1920x1200" "1680x1050" "1600x1200" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[10:26] <Kokosol1> hi
[10:27] <Sonicadvance1> I don't have an external drive plugged in
[10:27] <Jamesinator> !tell RustySford about windows
[10:27] <kismet> Sonicadvance1, hmm sorry then for me that used to be problem, hopefully someone in here can assist you
[10:27] <RustySford> k so the horizontal part will have like 6 sectoins instead of just the three lyn1?
[10:27] <lyn1> yar
[10:27] <sean__> kismet: thanks
[10:27] <Sonicadvance1> Beh
[10:27] <lyn1> just adds those resolutions to the "option list" basically
[10:28] <arjen_ubu> hey all
[10:28] <lyn1> right now your max resoution is set to 1024x768 it appears
[10:28] <RustySford> that's kinda what I thought
[10:28] <kismet> sean__, np
[10:28] <jabarkhan> Anybody able to help? kinda busy... i'll just sit and wait ;)
[10:28] <RustySford> but I thought that if i added more after the three it wouldn't read correctly
[10:28] <Toulouse> hey guys, when you start ubuntu, one of the first things that happens is a little applet starts conecting you to the internet, i seem to have lost that handy little tool, and can't find it, any help?
[10:28] <InterNut> I have one update avail, but when trying to download and apply it i get : E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libmjpegtools0_1%3a1.8.0-0.4_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libmjpegutils-1.8.so.0.0.0', which is also in package libmjpegtools0c2a. how can i fix this? Thanks
[10:28] <kismet> the beauty of linux is that there usually atleast 2 ways to get something done right
[10:28] <lyn1> nah .. mine has like 10
[10:28] <arjen_ubu> if i use the default packet manager to install software, i can't control where the software is installed can I? and where is it installed by default?
[10:28] <lyn1> im running at 1920 x 1280
[10:28] <Jamesinator> Toulouse: sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome
[10:28] <Toulouse> k
[10:29] <preaction> arjen_ubu: you do not want to. why do you think you want to?
[10:29] <Paradoxx> how long does cannicol provide updates for versions of ubuntu?
[10:29] <bobgill2> What program can I use to load like 10 images and view a slideshow ?
[10:29] <lyn1> bobgill:  digikam will do that
[10:29] <kismet> Don't most of the applications under graphic do that? :/
[10:29] <lyn1> yar
[10:29] <ci_omegadog> Hello.  I see software that i need to install listed on the website sited as "UNIVERSE".  when I "apt-cache search tcl" only a fraction of that software shows up.  how do i get access to the UNIVERSE debs?
[10:30] <arjen_ubu> preaction: because i was under the impression software would go into my /home folder
[10:30] <Synapsi> nothing changed...
[10:30] <Hizzeh> Hey guys, I've been wanting to get my hands dirty with Ubuntu (which would be my first time switching to a linux distro), but I can't. The installation freezes before I can see the virtualization from memory. Does anyone know what is goign on? I tried both the 32 and 64 bit installations. I', running on an AMD 64 4400+ X2, 1900XT 512, and 2 gigs of ram. Any help would be majorly appreciated :D
[10:30] <Synapsi> still with this awful resolution
[10:30] <arjen_ubu> preaction: my root partition is only 10Gb and my /home partition is 100Gb
[10:30] <CppIsWeird> rich__, its not mounting because i mistyped the mount point, so every time i plug in the drive i get an error message about mounting, so where do i go to fix what it does automatically?
[10:30] <sean__> !sound
[10:30] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer).

[10:30] <alecjw> hi. i jsut had a kernel panic and im trying to work out why. which log should i look in?
[10:30] <preaction> arjen_ubu: no. software is mostly installed into /usr, some is installed into /. it needs to be this way because of the directory structure
[10:30] <RustySford> http://textpaste.net/7bs6f1 this look good lyn1?
[10:31] <RustySford> dont need the others
[10:31] <brasko> I installed the 64 bit server version of ubuntu, if I copy 32 bit programs from redhat 7.1, when I go to run the program it says "No such file or directory", anyone know why?
[10:31] <RustySford> just wanna make sure before I save
[10:31] <brasko> If I run with 32 bit ubuntu server version, this works fine
[10:31] <arjen_ubu> preaction:  but /usr is in / right?
[10:31] <lyn1> looks functional yes
[10:31] <preaction> arjen_ubu: 10GB should be sufficient for most purposes, are you already butting up against the limit?
[10:31] <kismet> brasko, i am not sure if you can run 32bit apps on a 64bit installation
[10:31] <preaction> arjen_ubu: yes. / is root, /usr is the "usr" directory under / (which is root)
[10:31] <RustySford> k so now how do I get it to go up to 85Htz as max instead of 50?
[10:31] <jabarkhan> I need help setting up my webcam on ubuntu?
[10:32] <RustySford> i saw the limits for vert and hor but ummm don't wanna mess it up
[10:32] <brasko> kismet: why? it's normally ok to run 32 bit programs in a 64 bit environment, no?
[10:32] <lyn1> want me to post my xorg for you so you can get a look at it
[10:32] <brasko> I know with 64 bit hardware, you can install a complete 32 bit os
[10:32] <kismet> brasko, thats what i don't think it is :/
[10:32] <RustySford> suer lyn1
[10:32] <brasko> and you can run 32 bit programs
[10:32] <arjen_ubu> preaction: i wonder why the install recommended to make /home my biggest partition, since i want to try out mono/ecplise and i guess those apps are quite big
[10:32] <kismet> brasko, yes ofcourse i am running a 32bit installtion on a 64bit processor myself
[10:32] <brasko> and with gentoo 64 bit, I've run 64 bit programs, and natively compiled 32 bit programs
[10:33] <Jordan_U> kismet, brasko Yes you can run 32 bit programs in a 32 bit chroot
[10:33] <kismet> brasko, not too sure :/
[10:33] <RustySford> don't try to use pastebin right now they seem to be having problems at least for me they did
[10:33] <preaction> arjen_ubu: because for the most part you're putting all your music, videos, etc... into /home
[10:33] <Sonicadvance1> Screw this, I'm just going to install Ubuntu on one drive instead of splitting it up in to two
[10:33] <Jordan_U> !chroot | brasko
[10:33] <ubotu> brasko: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[10:33] <lyn1> !paste
[10:33] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[10:33] <kismet> Jordan_U, you mean 32bit on 64bit, yes?
[10:33] <Jordan_U> kismet, Yes
[10:33] <brasko> really, why do I have to use chroot?
[10:33] <RustySford> yeah I know...it's taking forever to upload to right now at least from my location it was
[10:33] <toryl__> !ask | jabarkhan
[10:33] <Jordan_U> brasko, For some things you don't
[10:33] <RustySford> tha'ts why I used the other one
[10:33] <ubotu> jabarkhan: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[10:33] <Jordan_U> brasko, What are you trying to run?
[10:33] <arjen_ubu> preaction: well i have a seperate windows partition for that as well, which is also 100Gb ;)
[10:34] <brasko> Jordan_U: I made a simple hello world program on red hat 7.1, and it didn't work
[10:34] <Synapsi> why I have a properly configured xorg.conf file and can't set the resolution to 1024??
[10:34] <brasko> it gave me that error, same program with 32 bit ubuntu ran fine
[10:34] <lyn1> RustySford: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28266/
[10:34] <brasko> hello world (C++)
[10:34] <arjen_ubu> preaction: is it possible to split resize /home by lets say 50Gb and add it to /root?
[10:34] <Hizzeh> Hey guys, I've been wanting to get my hands dirty with Ubuntu (which would be my first time switching to a linux distro), but I can't. The installation freezes before I can see the virtualization from memory. Does anyone know what is goign on? I tried both the 32 and 64 bit installations. I', running on an AMD 64 4400+ X2, 1900XT 512, and 2 gigs of ram. Any help would be majorly appreciated :D
[10:34] <RustySford> oh nm
[10:34] <preaction> arjen_ubu: it may be possible to delete your /home partition and resize your / partition to include the new space.
[10:34] <RustySford> I misread what you scripted
[10:34] <jabarkhan> huh, How do i setup my webcam ? (MSI - 370i)
[10:34] <Paradoxx> How long after release are updates released for Ubuntu?
[10:34] <Jordan_U> Synapsi, What GPU ?
[10:34] <Paradoxx> !updates
[10:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about updates - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:34] <lyn1> ha .. yeah i just couldnt remember the past site
[10:35] <PriceChild> Paradoxx, whenever there is a needed security patch or major bug fix
[10:35] <brasko> ouch, this is to much talk
[10:35] <Synapsi> matrox marvel g450 etv
[10:35] <blargas> hey, where does firefox keep its  profile info?
[10:35] <Synapsi> (does gpu stand for graphhic unit?)
[10:35] <preaction> Paradoxx: 5 years for LTS (dapper was last LTS release), 1 year for normal releases (fiesty was last normal release)
[10:35] <preaction> Synapsi: Graphics Processing Unit
[10:35] <Jordan_U> Synapsi, Yes, grpaphics processing unit
[10:35] <Paradoxx> PriceChild: I have read in several places, that versions updates, are provided for a specified number of time
[10:35] <rich__> Hizzeh are you using a pata harddrive?
[10:35] <RustySford> wow thanks lyn1: but my monitor max is 85 not 130 or whatever yours is so not to keep being a pain but what woudl I put to make absolutly sure it won't go over that and destroy it?
[10:35] <arjen_ubu> preaction: thanks for the info :) i guess my 10Gb will do for now but I might do that when I run out of room :) i have a bit of partition phobia, since i deleted my whole windows D: drive during my first ubuntu install :P
[10:35] <Synapsi> ok,so it's what I've told you jordan
[10:35] <Paradoxx> preaction: Thank you much
[10:36] <Saint_Belmont> !gpart
[10:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gpart - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:36] <PriceChild> Paradoxx, ohhh sorry misread you
[10:36] <Hizzeh> Rich_ What is a pata hard drive?
[10:36] <RustySford> just the upper limits are all I really nead for both vert and hor
[10:36] <PriceChild> Paradoxx, preaction 18 months for normal releases...
[10:36] <lyn1> yeah .. just make 85 your max then .. my max is like 130
[10:36] <Hizzeh> The hard drive type I'm using is the..it starts with N
[10:36] <Hizzeh> I forget the name
[10:36] <RustySford> for both?
[10:36] <mortuis99> what is a GOOD HTML editor?
[10:36] <PriceChild> Paradoxx, and only 3 years for desktop software on feisty
[10:36] <PriceChild> Paradoxx, s/feisty/dapper/
[10:36] <Hizzeh> I'm not using RAID
[10:36] <lyn1> yes
[10:36] <Toulouse_> mortuis99: NvU
[10:36] <RustySford> or just horizontal
[10:36] <RustySford> k
[10:36] <rich__> http://www.directron.com/patasata.html
[10:36] <arjen_ubu> mortuis99: just for HTML or a general purpose text editor?
[10:37] <Toulouse_> hey guys, i downloaded an applet from the repo's but how do i get that applet onto my panel?
[10:37] <mortuis99> general purpose
[10:37] <rich__> there was a massive problem with pata just after fiesty was released
[10:37] <jabarkhan> LOL @ arjen_ubu - i almost screwed up the install aswell, but i managed to revover my windows.. took me 3 attempts to install, the other 2 found had a dodgy install cd
[10:37] <preaction> Toulouse_: right-click on the panel, choose "add to panel"
[10:37] <Toulouse_> b/c i cant find it in the add to panel list
[10:37] <Jordan_U> Toulouse_, right click a blank space in the panel, add to panel
[10:37] <Toulouse_> i cant find it in there
[10:37] <lyn1> RustySford: I am not positive .. but i dont thin that going over is an issue .. that is just the range in which it runs its probe for your screen
[10:37] <Saint_Belmont> Where can I find in depth instructions on using Gpart
[10:37] <InterNut> I have one update avail, but when trying to download and apply it i get : E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libmjpegtools0_1%3a1.8.0-0.4_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libmjpegutils-1.8.so.0.0.0', which is also in package libmjpegtools0c2a. how can i fix this? Thanks
[10:37] <preaction> Toulouse_: are you sure it's a panel applet and not a notification area program?
[10:37] <Hizzeh> If Im using PATA, does that restrict me from installing Ubuntu?
[10:37] <toryl__> Saint_Belmont: you mean gparted?
[10:37] <Toulouse_> it's network-manager-gnome
[10:37] <Hizzeh> and how do I check if I'm using PATA?
[10:37] <blargas> where does firefox keep its profile info?
[10:38] <preaction> blargas: ~/.firefox <- somewhere in there
[10:38] <RustySford> so I need to restart now to change it from the admin tools? or is there a terminal way to do it now
[10:38] <arjen_ubu> jabarkhan: at least I learned a lot from it, the thing i forgot was to set a label for my new partition, so it just overwrote the current one :)
[10:38] <Toulouse_> preaction: it's network-manager-gnome
[10:38] <lyn1> PATA or SATA ... makes no difference
[10:38] <mortuis99> im looking for something to do the links etc with
[10:38] <lyn1> RustySford: just do a full restart ..
[10:38] <preaction> Toulouse_: that's a notification area program. you'll need to run it. it probably shows up in the menu
[10:38] <RustySford> k
[10:38] <RustySford> thanks I'll come back and thanks again if it works :)
[10:38] <blargas> preaction: sorry, ive only been running linux for < 24h. where is that?
[10:38] <Synapsi> any other sugestion for my resoltuion issue?
[10:39] <rich__> either way, what sort of harddrive are you installing to?
[10:39] <preaction> blargas: ~ is your home directory, /home/<your username>
[10:39] <InterNut> blargas: ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default
[10:39] <bronze> I have a question. I can read (but not weite) my NTFS drive. Is the performance equally good to windows XP's NTFS reading?
[10:39] <Hizzeh> How do I check, rich_? I'm currently in windows right now
[10:39] <Jordan_U> !fixres > Synapsi
[10:39] <blargas> sweet, guys. thanks
[10:39] <B-rabbit> hello has anybody ever used " Downloader for X " before?.....if yes the wat is it used to download? and can u download music with it
[10:39] <bronze> write*
[10:39] <Jordan_U> !ntfs-3g | bronze
[10:39] <ubotu> bronze: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[10:39] <jabarkhan> arjen_ubu True, i did learn from my mistakes, and here i am got ubuntu installed, now trying to get some help to install my webcam
[10:39] <kismet> ntfs-3g is a massive resource hogg, btw.
[10:39] <rich__> Hizzeh, goto control panel ./ sytstem / device manager
[10:39] <blargas> i don't see it there...
[10:39] <InterNut> I have one update avail, but when trying to download and apply it i get : "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libmjpegtools0_1%3a1.8.0-0.4_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libmjpegutils-1.8.so.0.0.0', which is also in package libmjpegtools0c2a." how can i fix this? Thanks
[10:39] <bronze> Jordan_U, I am wondering about the performance! Can I e.g. play games from it through wine?
[10:40] <Saint_Belmont> Well, is there any way to use some of my other partitions for Ubuntu, I filled the Partition Ubuntu is on.
[10:40] <InterNut> blargas: its a hidden folder
[10:40] <blargas> oh. do i need to use command line?
[10:40] <lyn1> bronze:  most games through wine are slow ... just depends what you wanna run
[10:40] <bobbob> i use cedega
[10:40] <InterNut> blargas: in terminal "ls -A" or in natilus press "ctrl-h"
[10:40] <mortuis99> !html
[10:40] <ubotu> html is HyperText Markup Language, used to build webpages. Editors in Ubuntu: Bluefish, Quanta+, Screem, and Nvu. For howto on HTML coding, see: http://www.w3schools.com
[10:40] <Jordan_U> bronze, I don't know, I don't use it myself, but I would assume so
[10:40] <rich__> Saint_Belmont you can enlarge the Ubuntu partition using the live cd if you have space to use
[10:40] <bobbob> paid for it then cancelled my subscription but it works rather well on some games
[10:40] <bronze> lyn1, counter-strike. It's not very slow because it uses OpenGL.
[10:40] <Hizzeh> HDT722525DLA380 ATA Device
[10:40] <Toulouse_> cedega doesnt seem that much better to me, but that's just me
[10:41] <bobbob> it depends on the game
[10:41] <intangir> i like cedega
[10:41] <intangir> both wine and cedega are good
[10:41] <Toulouse_> yeah
[10:41] <intangir> depends on the game
[10:41] <lyn1> bronze .. you would be fine then as long as the game can use openGL it will run about 85% of windows in wine
[10:41] <pike_> wine is not inherently slower than windows
[10:41] <bobbob> if it is a game they support then its good
[10:41] <blargas> great, i found it. thanks internut, preaction
[10:41] <Toulouse_> they're pretty good
[10:41] <bobbob> otherwise not any better
[10:41] <rich__> when the live cd boots use gparted
[10:41] <toryl__> Saint_Belmont: check the docs for gparted.
[10:41] <Hizzeh> gparted?
[10:41] <Hizzeh> what sthat?
[10:41] <rich__> it wqill show you if there is any unused space
[10:41] <Hizzeh> I have two hard drives, one if which is empty
[10:41] <Hizzeh> that's the one I tried to install ubuntu to
[10:41] <lyn1> Hizzeh:  gparted is a partition editor for linux
[10:41] <InterNut> blargas: np =)
[10:41] <Toulouse_> how do i get a notification area program to run???
[10:42] <rich__> wow u are lucky
[10:42] <Toulouse_> ive tried running it in terminal
[10:42] <Hizzeh> the last time I tried installing Ubuntu was back in december
[10:42] <Cvg> Sorry if i ask bad time, but i have tried to solve very long time a dri problem.
[10:42] <rich__> gparted works if you are not using the partition you are trying to edit / i.e it is not already mounted.
[10:42] <jabarkhan> OK, so i can't get my webcam installed, i have no idea how to install or set this up in ubuntu
[10:42] <slugicide> I'm lost w/o alacarte menu editor.  How do I add a program to the menu?
[10:43] <Jordan_U> !webcam | jabarkhan
[10:43] <rich__> gparted is the app used during ubuntu instalation
[10:43] <ubotu> jabarkhan: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[10:43] <Saint_Belmont> Well, windows is on the other partition which is 100 gigs. Ubuntu is on a 4 gig one.
[10:43] <lyn1> jabarkhan:  good luck ... webcam support in linux is spotty at best
[10:43] <jos1> i need help i installed ubuntu
[10:43] <jos1> and forgot the password
[10:43] <jos1> to my account so i cant log in
[10:43] <jos1> can anyone help
[10:43] <jabarkhan> Brillient, thanks for the info...
[10:43] <rich__> josl? no way? how long ago did you install?
[10:43] <RustySford> k so...that worked it's i the right reso when it gets to the login..but as soon as I log in it goes back and if I try to change it manually it crashes?
[10:44] <jos1> i installed like 20 mins ago
[10:44] <jos1> but i forgot the password i used
[10:44] <jos1> so
[10:44] <rich__> reinstall and remember the password
[10:44] <jos1> dangit
[10:44] <jos1> thats the only choice i have
[10:44] <jos1> ?
[10:44] <rich__> it will take longer to hack the os
[10:44] <toryl__> jos1: maybe here?  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-3609.html
[10:44] <Jordan_U> jos1, When you start up, press escape to see the grub menu, then choose recovery mode, when you are at a terminal run: passwd <username>
[10:44] <bobsomebody> lmao
[10:44] <Cvg> has anyone encountered this "Screen 0 is not dri capable" ? Sorry
[10:44] <slugicide> Can't he just use the live CD and change the file?
[10:44] <jos1> so do this
[10:44] <Hizzeh> Does it matter if I use a CD or a DVD to burn the iso to?
[10:44] <jos1> grub menu
[10:44] <Jordan_U> rich__, No hacking needed, just single user mode
[10:44] <jos1> passwd username
[10:44] <gaston_silva> maybe this will help recover your password: http://my.opera.com/Contrid/blog/show.dml/486617
[10:45] <RustySford> ah mn i got it
[10:45] <rich__> Jordan_U???
[10:45] <Jordan_U> rich__, Finding the password is near impossible, replacing it is easy as long as you have physical access to the machine
[10:45] <Sonicadvance1> Oi, anyone know if it's possible that when you have to LAN cards, to have one come from the router to get internet, and the other one has another computer/device attached to it to get internet to that device?
[10:45] <Hizzeh> Does it matter if I use a CD or a DVD to burn the iso to?
[10:45] <RustySford> had to disable screen effects...how ever 58 is the max refresh :(

[10:46] <RustySford> maybe I need the exact range for it to work?
[10:46] <slugicide> How do I add apps to the menu?  I'm lost without alacarte.
[10:46] <RustySford> or does the vert need to always be higher then the horizontal
[10:46] <Jordan_U> jos1, When you start up, press escape to see the grub menu, then choose recovery mode, when you are at a terminal run: passwd <username>
[10:46] <RustySford> like proporional so It can work

[10:50] <Jordan_U> !minimal | Gokee2_Laptop
[10:50] <ubotu> Gokee2_Laptop: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD).

[10:52] <filthpig> Hi
[10:52] <jrib> filthpig: welcome
[10:52] <Pretto> Jordan_U,  i did, but it changes it on mount
[10:52] <Pretto> Jordan_U, lemme show
[10:52] <slugicide> Alacarte seems to be gone.  How do I add an app to the menu?
[10:53] <dukedave> Here's one: Say I create a directory & then want to move everything in the parent directory into the new (child) directory. Issuing "$ mv ./* child/ " from the parent dies understandably because "mv: cannot move [name]  to a subdirectory of itself, ". Does anyone know a switch to say "Don't move the child"?
[10:53] <jrib> slugicide: alacarte should be installed by default and you can right click on the ubuntu icon and go to "edit menu"
[10:53] <Jordan_U> slugicide, run alacarte from a terminal / run dialog
[10:53] <sindre> what comand do i use to search for a folder?
[10:53] <slugicide> OK, thanks.
[10:53] <Pretto> Jordan_U,
[10:53] <jrib> sindre: locate  or  find -type d
[10:54] <sindre> thanks
[10:54] <InterNut> I have one update avail, but when trying to download and apply it i get : "E: /var/cache/apt/archives/libmjpegtools0_1%3a1.8.0-0.4_i386.deb: trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/libmjpegutils-1.8.so.0.0.0', which is also in package libmjpegtools0c2a." how can i fix this? Thanks
[10:54] <Pretto> Jordan_U, drwxrwxrwx   2 root root  4096 2007-07-02 13:43 music      ( before mount)
[10:54] <Synapsi> boys,this is my last though:ubuntu sucks...I'll try with fedora as resolution seems to be correct
[10:54] <filthpig> gigantomundo problemo ahoyo! I'm using Telenor ISP (in Norway) and they are quite bitchy.. Today I bought a wireless routermodem from those guys hoping to get rid of a few cables to my computer, but it seems Telenor is blocking anyone not using windows or macosx when connecting to their routermodem.. Can this be true?
[10:54] <Synapsi> thanks for your help anyway

[10:54] <justin420> hi all, anybody help with improving on read/writes for ubuntu edgy using an external firewire 400 drive?  I have 2 600GB external HD's both Seagate one is just a plain 500GB USB/Firewire HD; the other is one of their new FreeAgent PRO 500GB USB/Firewire HD's.  When one or the other is plugged in; everything works "better" but when both are plugged in sometimes I get I/O errors from my apps.  Both drives are plugged into a PCI usb/firewire card and I hav
[10:54] <justin420> e a 400w psu, so I dont think that the power is the issue? Anybody else experience this kind of strange behaviour?
[10:54] <jrib> InterNut: where does libmjpegtools0 come from?  It doesn't seem to be in ubuntu
[10:55] <sindre> speedtouch?
[10:55] <filthpig> In that case I'm quite beeped.. Neither wlan0 or eth0 can get me online through this new modem.. :/
[10:55] <kismet> could someone please remind where the location is for syaptics download files?
[10:55] <Stwange> any idea how i can install a flash plugin on an x86_64 architecture?
[10:55] <filthpig> sindre: ZyXEL Prestige 660HWT-3
[10:55] <jrib> kismet: /var/cache/apt/archives/ ?
[10:55] <InterNut> jrib: it shows up in the updater in my "tray"
[10:55] <kismet> jrib, thankies
[10:55] <Hizzeh> should I check "simulation" when I burn the image in Infrarecorder?
[10:55] <jrib> InterNut: what is the output of 'apt-cache policy libmjpegtools0' (use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org )
[10:56] <sindre> filthpig: priv
[10:56] <jrib> Stwange: I like to use nsplugwrapper: http://www.janvitus.netsons.org/2007/01/15/nspluginwrapper-adobe-flash-player/
[10:56] <Pretto> any idea Jordan_U ?
[10:56] <Jordan_U> Pretto, no
[10:56] <Hizzeh> should I check "simulation" when I burn the image in Infrarecorder?
[10:56] <Stwange> jrib: thanks mate
[10:56] <filthpig> sindre: sure no prob
[10:57] <Pretto> anyone?
[10:57] <jrib> Stwange: the directions are in english if you scroll down btw
[10:57] <InterNut> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/28268/
[10:57] <Stwange> jrib: thanks :) i did wonder at first
[10:57] <jrib> InterNut: get rid of http://www.debian-multimedia.org from your /etc/apt/sources.list .  Debian repos will break your box
[10:57] <InterNut> jrib: thanks, ill try that
[10:58] <tim_abell> does anyone know how to stop gnome asking for a password *every* time i close my laptop lid?
[10:58] <DarkED> hey is there an equalizer plugin for rhtyhmbox?
[10:58] <tim_abell> it's driving me nuts
[10:58] <scope006> i have a laptop with an ati card (x300) and i have Compiz + XGL running beautifully on the proprietary drivers.  Is there a good resource on how to launch an app or game in a separate X Session?  I didn't have a lot of luck googling this morning
[10:58] <tim_abell> can't find anything on teh interweb
[10:58] <CyD_> tim_abell, right click your battery icon, set it to do nothing on lid close instead of lock screen
[10:59] <ci_omegadog> For the record- to use UNIVERSE debs from apt-get, you need to change /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:59] <jrib> tim_abell: try the gconf keys in /apps/gnome-power-manager maybe (use gconf-editor)
[10:59] <CyD_> tim_abell, sorry, that's for kubuntu, but it shoudl be the same
[10:59] <CyD_> or not :)
[10:59] <tim_abell> hrm. hadn't tried that
[10:59] <tim_abell> certainly solves the stated problem!
[10:59] <filthpig> sindre: still there?
[10:59] <ci_omegadog> y'all could have saved me a half hour... or am i now the local king of apt-get :)
[10:59] <tim_abell> but i would still like the screen blanked
[10:59] <sindre> yeah
[11:00] <amorphous_> could anyone tell me the app name for the gnome gui user admin tool?
[11:00] <CyD_> tim_abell, the screen should blank because of powersaving, regardless
[11:00] <jrib> tim_abell: lock_on_blank_screen looks promising
[11:00] <justin420> ok, how about this one. does anybody have any experience with I/O errors with external firewire 400 HD's on ubuntu edgy? if so how did you go about solving the I/O errors?
[11:00] <jabarkhan> how do i remove programs i've installed? sudo ?
[11:00] <jrib> !apt > jabarkhan (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:00] <tim_abell> doesn't seem too
[11:00] <jrib> jabarkhan: you can also just use add/remove or system -> administration -> synaptic
[11:00] <InterNut> jrib: that did the trick, thanks a lot!
[11:01] <tim_abell> how do i respond to a particular person (in chatzilla)?
[11:01] <jrib> InterNut: np
[11:01] <filthpig> sindre: any ideas for my problem?
[11:01] <jrib> tim_abell: just prefix your response with their name
[11:01] <Jordan_U> tim_abell, Do you mean in a private message?
[11:01] <tim_abell> jrib: oh how cunning
[11:01] <jrib> !tab | tim_abell
[11:01] <ubotu> tim_abell: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[11:01] <jabarkhan> Ok, thats good, same as windows XP ;)
[11:01] <farstrider> Good evening all! I need help, I have a second drive in my box and every time I start the box and want to go into the drive it first of all insists on my admin password and then does not allow me to crate folders and put files there! It is just a secondary drive thats all! How the devil do I change this?
[11:02] <tim_abell> Jordan_U:  no, just what people have been doing in my direction :)
[11:02] <amorphous_> could anyone tell me the app name for the gnome gui user admin tool? I'm ssh'd into another machine so I have no desktop/menu's --- it's the 'users and groups' one in the menu, but (as ever) there's no indication of the app name :(
[11:02] <tim_abell> ubotu: nice
[11:02] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal
[11:02] <jrib> farstrider: what filesystem?
[11:02] <RustySford> ahh got it....looked up the specs of my monitor and it told me right there lol
[11:02] <jrib> tim_abell: heh, ubotu is a bot :)
[11:02] <farstrider> It on on my linux box (Ubuntu)
[11:03] <TheCreationist> I just bought a 20-inch monitor and after upping the resolution, I can no longer use "Desktop Effects" because all the title bars disappear.  Anyone know how to remedy this?
[11:03] <tim_abell> jrib: oh lol
[11:03] <jrib> amorphous_: users-admin
[11:03] <sindre> yeah... first i have to say that im not any good at linux:)... but solve problems with routers like that everyday:)...if u can use telnet (google it) to configure your zyxel that migth help... the webv user interface isnt any good at all...
[11:03] <arjen_ubu> TheCreationist: same happens to me, they are still experimental, they're not supposed to fully work yet
[11:03] <jrib> TheCreationist: try in #ubuntu-effects (if you use nvidia, the ubutnu wiki tells you a common problem that causes that)
[11:03] <farstrider> My box is on a network and can see NTFS File systems
[11:03] <arjen_ubu> TheCreationist: just use Ctrl-Alt Backspace to reload X
[11:04] <sindre> filthpig: yeah... first i have to say that im not any good at linux:)... but solve problems with routers like that everyday:)...if u can use telnet (google it) to configure your zyxel that migth help... the webv user interface isnt any good at all...
[11:04] <TheCreationist> arjen_ubu: Well, I only ask because it worked perfectly before changing resolutions.
[11:04] <TheCreationist> jrib: #ubuntu-effects is useless... there's never anyone paying attention there.  I've asked there a few times with zero response.
[11:04] <arjen_ubu> TheCreationist: just close any open applications before you reload though
[11:04] <amorphous_> jrib - thanks. you think i could find that anywhere??? maybe I should add to the wishlist app names easily available on all menus... think I'd have a chance? it would encourage/empower users...!
[11:04] <Gokee2_Laptop> Is a little over 3 gigs enough for ubuntu?
[11:05] <john`> ..
[11:05] <john`> yeah.
[11:05] <jrib> amorphous_: you can right click on the ubuntu icon and go to edit menus
[11:05] <Jordan_U> Gokee2_Laptop, If you don't install too much, yes
[11:05] <filthpig> sindre: http://itpro.no/supportforum/index.php?act=ST&f=53&t=47520 do you think this will help, or will it simply fck me up?
[11:06] <farstrider> Sorry I am going to put my question again!! I need help, I have a second drive in my box and every time I start the box and want to go into the drive it first of all insists on my admin password and then does not allow me to crate folders and put files there! It is just a secondary drive thats all! How the devil do I change this?
[11:06] <hays> is pidgin available for ubuntu feisty fawn?
[11:06] <Jordan_U> hays, Yes, from getdeb.org
[11:06] <hays> I don't see it in the package manager
[11:06] <Gokee2_Laptop> Jordan_U, Ok thanks
[11:06] <jrib> hays: no
[11:06] <TheCreationist> hays: Not officially until Gibon
[11:06] <Jordan_U> Gokee2_Laptop, np
[11:06] <tim_abell> jrib: i can't see the lock_on_blank_screen you mention, where's that?
[11:06] <xst> Has anyone tried to export a gallery to SimpleViewer from gwenview? When I try to watch the exported gallery it says "gallery not found". What to do?
[11:06] <jrib> tim_abell: did you open gconf-editor?
[11:07] <hypn0> Jordan_U: it .net :-)
[11:07] <arjen_ubu> hays: pigdin = GAIM, no?
[11:07] <amorphous_> jrib, Hmmm... does that show you the app name? (i'm not in gnome - only ssh-ing) - by the way - can I get an X session through ssh?  Take care and keep smiling
[11:08] <Jordan_U> farstrider, What file system?
[11:08] <jrib> amorphous_: it can, you can right click -> properties.  You can use vnc to get an actual session
[11:08] <d4rkmonkey> :D
[11:08] <Redhammer_the_Ol> thanks will try again
[11:08] <filthpig> sindre: yes it is
[11:08] <PriceChild> Redhammer_the_Ol, do the first few letters, then press <Tab> and it will try to autocomplete it
[11:08] <jrib> !vnc > amorphous_ (see the private message from ubotu)
[11:08] <arjen_ubu> PriceChild: do "..."  Thanks jrib - once again saved from anxiety and despair by your good self ;)
[11:09] <bronze> What's the best distro if I want easy-to-set-up eye candy.
[11:09] <arjen_ubu> PriceChild: whatever works best for you ;)
[11:09] <farstrider> JordanU how do I tell I am not sure to be honest!!??
[11:09] <Sonicadvance1> I'm trying to route one LAN card's Connection to another, is it possible?
[11:09] <vip3rousmango> anyone know of a .flv movie file converter to like .avi or something playable
[11:09] <Jordan_U> farstrider, sudo fdisk -l
[11:09] <hypn0> bronze: maybe you should ask in #linux or somewhere :-)
[11:09] <matt1982> is there any really easy way to install the ati drivers?
[11:10] <matt1982> for ubuntu 7.04?
[11:10] <CommonAlgorithms> Have you guys heard of Wubi Installer?
[11:10] <sindre> filthpig: ok... its fucked up... telenor is always a bit dificult... but try to update the firmware... it migth help... but can u describe more exact what ur problem is?
[11:10] <gnomefreak> !ati | matt1982
[11:10] <ubotu> matt1982: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:10] <bronze> matt1982, apt-get install ati-drivers
[11:10] <Jordan_U> farstrider, If it was created with windows it is most likely NTFS, if with Linux most likely ext3
[11:10] <tim_abell> jrib: ah i see it. haven't used gconf-editor b4
[11:10] <sam_> how do i write an iso to a cd?
[11:10] <CommonAlgorithms> anyone heard of Wubi Installer ?
[11:10] <d4rkmonkey> sam_, are you in Ubuntu now?
[11:10] <gnomefreak> sam_: as a cd image
[11:10] <Jordan_U> matt1982, yes, just go to System -> Administration -> Restricted Driver Manager
[11:10] <john86> does ubuntu work on a8v deluxe?
[11:10] <matt1982> gnomefreak: cheers i think bronze has hit the nail though
[11:10] <jrib> dukedave: you would do:  mv *~child child     (though I think it should work anyway but just complain if you don't omit "child" explicitly (even in bash))
[11:10] <sam_> yes
[11:10] <sam_> i am in ubuntu
[11:11] <jrib> sam_: right click -> write to cd
[11:11] <tim_abell> jrib: still the same do i need to restart gnome?
[11:11] <d4rkmonkey> sam_,  just right click the .iso and select write to cd
[11:11] <sam_> i am running breezy and trying to update
[11:11] <jrib> tim_abell: no idea
[11:11] <gnomefreak> matt1982: use the restricted manager it should do it for you
[11:11] <matt1982> Jordan_U: ahh excellent
[11:11] <sam_> when i have downloaded the iso (almost done it) what do i do?
[11:11] <matt1982> Jordan_U: Thats done it
[11:11] <tim_abell> jrib: fair enough will try. thx for your help
[11:11] <arjen_ubu> how sophisticated is the built-in burn software in ubuntu, is it anywhere near apps like Nero for example?
[11:11] <filthpig> sindre: can we do it "in private"? :p To avoid things being lost in translation ;)
[11:11] <d4rkmonkey> sam_, I don't know much about breezy, but right clicking than choosing write to cd should work
[11:11] <Jordan_U> sam_, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto
[11:11] <sindre> yep
[11:11] <sam_> ok
[11:11] <jrib> vip3rousmango: mplayer plays flv's (vlc too I believe).  You can use mencoder to convert .flv anyway if you still want
[11:11] <farstrider> Jordan U It say Linux system
[11:12] <sam_> thank you
[11:12] <jrib> arjen_ubu: k3b is pretty nice
[11:12] <dukedave> jrib: Thanks for the tip - and yes it does work I just don't like my shell nagging me ;)
[11:12] <hays> when is Gibon out and can I upgrade to it now and is it reasonable stable?  (Don't mind a few glitches)

[11:13] <RustySford> you know what? screw it..I can live with 58 Htz not like I play games on ubuntu anyway so it really doesn't matter I guess. at least my resolution is fixed thatnks to those who helped

[11:13] <farstrider> A rookie my appologies
[11:13] <jrib> hays: I'd recommend using it in a vm if you want to play with it
[11:13] <Ominous> argh having trouble installing beryl
[11:13] <tim_abell> jrib: nice one. works a treat after a ctrl+alt+backspace
[11:13] <hays> (e.g. debian has 'testing' and 'unstable')
[11:13] <etalli> gnomefreak: sorry.
[11:14] <jrib> hays: join me in #ubuntu+1 if you are interested
[11:14] <jakobbg> I'm considering upgrading my fully working feisty to gutsy gibbon - is it possible by merely changing sources.list or is it best to download the cd image?
[11:14] <hays> jrib: funny you should say that.. my existing ubuntu is in a vm. :)
[11:14] <Jordan_U> jakobbg, Are you ready for your entire hard drive to be hosed?
[11:14] <jakobbg> Jordan_U: by no means :)
[11:15] <John2> whats the command to look at computer statistics? like cpu, ram, etc.. equivalent to windows right click properties in my computer
[11:15] <Jordan_U> jakobbg, Then you shouldn't use Gutsy
[11:15] <XAPBob> top
[11:15] <gregorygreg> hey guys
[11:15] <jakobbg> Jordan_U: then I won't - but why is that?
[11:15] <John2> is top the only one?
[11:15] <CommonAlgorithms> anyone heard of Wubi installer?
[11:15] <POL9> Entrez le texte ici...YES ME
[11:15] <gregorygreg> what does it mean when I try to open g++ and it gives me the error "no input files"?
[11:15] <XAPBob> cat /meminfo
[11:15] <XAPBob> ps
[11:15] <Jordan_U> jakobbg, It is not even in Beta yet, anything can happen
[11:15] <XAPBob> man ps is always a good start
[11:15] <filthpig1> sindre: I'm trying to write to you in priv, but you don't answer :s
[11:16] <POL9> it's an exe for windowz
[11:16] <jakobbg> Jordan_U: ok :)
[11:16] <sindre> filthpig
[11:16] <sindre> he

[11:16] <d4rkmonkey> Has anyone here have a working Lightscribe drive in Ubuntu?
[11:16] <jakobbg> it's my work-laptop, won't take that risk
[11:16] <santims> any way install the 32bit version of ubuntu without losing all of my stuff that is on my 64 bit install?
[11:16] <POL9> reality it's an exe of ubuntu in windowz
[11:16] <gregorygreg> what does it mean when I try to open g++ and it gives me the error "no input files"?
[11:16] <XAPBob> sorry - cat /proc/meminfo, alcohol doesn't ,ix with keyboard
[11:16] <POL9> forbidden question :)
[11:16] <etalli> gregorygreg:  after you type g++ you need to type the name of the file you want to compile
[11:16] <santims> 64 bit is really becoming anoying
[11:16] <filthpig1> sindre, do you have a msn-account?
[11:17] <etalli> gregorygreg: for example:  g++ main.cpp
[11:17] <gregorygreg> etalli what if I want to create a new project?
[11:17] <gregorygreg> that's all?
[11:17] <sindre><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[11:18] <timtux> bah, just have to ask. just apt-getted php & apache. Seems like php is compiled with support for exif, however, just for jpeg and tiff.
[11:18] <filthpig1> added
[11:18] <arjen_ubu> can anyone recommend a good Ubuntu book?
[11:18] <etalli> gregorygreg:  I am afraid that you misunderstand the point of g++.  It is just a compiler, so you have to write all of the c++ in a text editor, then compile it
[11:18] <POL9> WHAT's the difference betwen the dvd and cd ubuntu version THANKS
[11:18] <d4rkmonkey> Does anyone here have a working lightscribe drive in Feisty? I emailed tech support, and I was told to download software here: http://www.lightscribe.com/downloadSection/pse/ but right now it says its pre-release and I think thats only for labling. I need drivers for Ubuntu to let me even read disks from the drive, I can't even manually mount the drive right now
[11:18] <jrib> POL9: dvd has all of the main and restricted repositories
[11:18] <gregorygreg> oh okay
[11:18] <etalli> to create a new project, you just make a new folder
[11:18] <etalli> :)
[11:19] <gregorygreg> thanks
[11:19] <gregorygreg> um
[11:19] <santims> any way install the 32bit version of ubuntu without losing all of my stuff that is on my 64 bit install?
[11:19] <etalli> no problem
[11:19] <d4rkmonkey> Does anyone here have a working lightscribe drive in Feisty?

[11:19] <gregorygreg> there are programs that provide support for all of that right?
[11:19] <jrib> santims: make backups before reinstalling
[11:19] <kmaynard> santims, what stuff
[11:19] <gregorygreg> like an IDE?
[11:19] <santims> jrib:  thats the only way?
[11:19] <pike_> santims: you can tar /etc/ and /home but other than that.. i dunno
[11:19] <farstrider> Jordan_U are you still prepared to give me help or is that it, or should I post my question again? Thanks anyway!
[11:19] <santims> kmaynard:  stuff like my mp3's and other stuff i downloaded
[11:19] <kmaynard> santims, save everything in /home, re-install
[11:20] <etalli> hold on
[11:20] <kmaynard> santims, i keep /home on its own partition...makes re-installs easier

[11:20] <Jordan_U> farstrider, I actually have to leave right now, sorry I forgot about your question though :(
[11:20] <farstrider> Ok Thanks
[11:20] <santims> kmaynard:  is there any way to partition the drive to get it on its own partition without having to format?
[11:20] <arjen_ubu> d4rkmonkey: stop asking the same question over and over again
[11:20] <tim_abell> jrib: thanks for your help. would you like a link to anything in my blog post?
[11:21] <CommonAlgorithms> Could I install Ubuntu on a external hard drive?
[11:21] <tim_abell> jrib: http://timwise.blogspot.com/
[11:21] <d4rkmonkey> lol arjen_ubu I'm just trying to see if I can get somone's attention :( I guess not
[11:21] <Marfi> CommonAlgorithms, yes
[11:21] <kmaynard> santims, look into gparted
[11:21] <CommonAlgorithms> Marfi: how?
[11:21] <pike_> !install > CommonAlgorithms
[11:21] <hypn0> gregorygreg: anjuta is for c I think, is g++ c :-/
[11:21] <Dark_Nation> Hi there, I was just wondering something:
[11:21] <Dark_Nation> I just got an older laptop
[11:21] <Marfi> CommonAlgorithms, when you install it, just set it to install to the external hard drive
[11:21] <pike_> CommonAlgorithms: that first link has a number of options
[11:21] <gregorygreg> hypn0 it is c++
[11:21] <arjen_ubu> d4rkmonkey: i would reply if i could answer your question but unfortunately I do not
[11:22] <gregorygreg> I am just looking to get into some basic programming
[11:22] <Dark_Nation> and I was wondering if you could tell me if Ubuntu would install fine on it.
[11:22] <santims> thanks kmaynard
[11:22] <d4rkmonkey> arjen_ubu, yeah... it kinda sucks that EVERYTHING on this laptop works except for the CD drive, took me a while to get past xorg too :(
[11:22] <hypn0> gregorygreg: I think that it manages projects too
[11:22] <d4rkmonkey> Dark_Nation, run the live CD
[11:22] <gregorygreg> do you think c or c++ would be better?
[11:22] <nyc-h0st> guys is there a way to probe and list all my hard drives
[11:22] <d4rkmonkey> Dark_Nation, it should work fine, depends on the exact laptop you have
[11:22] <nyc-h0st> i know there are 2 sata drives
[11:22] <nyc-h0st> but only 1 is mounted
[11:22] <Dark_Nation> Specs are: Has WinXP home, 256MBs RAM, 1.2GHZ CPU, a "Vix C3".
[11:22] <caner_> my keyboard layout became arabic and i cant fix it could someone please help???
[11:22] <arjen_ubu> d4rkmonkey: i had problems with my screen resolution, but that was fixed quite quickly
[11:22] <nyc-h0st> i need to make sure the second is up and running
[11:22] <pike_> nyc-h0st: sudo fdisk -l    did you want something more than that?
[11:23] <Dark_Nation> I
[11:23] <Dark_Nation> I
[11:23] <hypn0> gregorygreg: I use lazarus, much easier for me :-)
[11:23] <JasonAllen> sup everyone
[11:23] <Dark_Nation> I'm downloading the Live CD right now
[11:23] <etalli> gregorygreg:  I have no experience with C, however C++ has proven acceptable for all of my purposes
[11:23] <d4rkmonkey> arjen_ubu, I couldn't start up into graphical for a while..
[11:23] <nyc-h0st> pike_ that was great, thanks
[11:23] <d4rkmonkey> Dark_Nation, Ubuntu should run smoothly on it if it can handle win XP, my other comp is old and has much worse specs than that, but Ubuntu still runs fine on that
[11:23] <gregorygreg> what is the difference between c++ and c? is c++ just a newer incarnation?
[11:23] <santims> how large should my /home partition be?
[11:23] <arjen_ubu> speaking of C and C++, is the linux kernel written in C or C++?
[11:23] <tsmithe> C
[11:24] <preaction> kernel is in C, C++ is supposed to be C with native OO
[11:24] <Marfi> does anyone know if there is a version of VMware for OSX based operating systems?
[11:24] <etalli> as for your other question, KDevelop, although for KDE, works well.  Other then that, you could do a search under Add/Remove Programs
[11:24] <preaction> Marfi: parallels works very nice under OSX
[11:24] <arjen_ubu> C and C++ arevery different
[11:24] <nyc-h0st> c++ is a lot of smoke and overhead for lazy people
[11:24] <JasonAllen> arjen_ubu: C, i think
[11:24] <farstrider> I have tired to ask the question a few times now here is hoping for better luck this time! I have a second drive in my box and every time I start the box and want to go into the drive it first of all insists on my admin password and then does not allow me to crate folders and put files there! It is just a secondary drive thats all! How do I change this and I know that there is a means of accessing the drive using the terminal but I h
[11:24] <farstrider> ave forgotten how to do this?
[11:24] <christian_> yf
[11:24] <Dark_Nation> Alright, sounds good. Thanks for the quick answer
[11:24] <arjen_ubu> they have different philosophies behind them
[11:24] <arjen_ubu> C++ is not officially a superset of C
[11:24] <gregorygreg> hm
[11:24] <Marfi> let me rephrase that: im running ubuntu now, running mac osx in vmware. is there a version of vmware that i can install under the mac os?
[11:25] <JasonAllen> arjen_ubu: not totally helpful, but http://www.ohloh.net/projects/3141/analyses/latest
[11:25] <Madsy> Marfi: http://www.vmware.com/company/news/releases/mac.html
[11:25] <justin420> anybody have any experience with I/O errors and external firewire 400 HD's using edgy? when i have one drive plugged in it works almost if not perfect, but when it comes to 2 drives i get I/O errors?
[11:25] <nedw> when i boot ubuntu to install it on my dell inspiron 6000, it shows the graphical startup, then plays the ubuntu login sound, shows a blank gnome splash bar for a while, then my screen turns black. what should i do?
[11:25] <arjen_ubu> JasonAllen: thank you
[11:25] <d4rkmonkey> nedw, try the alternate CD
[11:25] <scope006> startx -- :1 will start a new X session in which you can run games/apps outside of a XGL/Compiz environment.  just an FYI if anyone else had the same question I did.
[11:25] <nedw> d4rkmonkey, thanks for returning the support favor :) i'll try it out
[11:26] <pike_> nedw: alt-ctrl-f2 login then sudo adduser  then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart and see if the new user can login ok. if they can its a simple profile issue
[11:26] <arjen_ubu> gregorygreg: if you are going to learn you will learn the basics of C as well
[11:26] <d4rkmonkey> nedw, no problem, with my laptop the live CD wouldn't boot so I had to use the alternate but still had to configure a bunch of xorg things after
[11:26] <gregorygreg> oh okay
[11:26] <Marfi> Madsy, does that let me use a virtual machine of osx reasonably?
[11:26] <pike_> nedw: ah sorry didn reality you were on livecd
[11:26] <arjen_ubu> gregorygreg: *learn C++
[11:26] <d4rkmonkey> pike_, he said he was booting off of the CD to install.
[11:26] <nedw> d4rkmonkey: i'll be ready for the x stuff
[11:27] <nedw> pike_, it's ok
[11:27] <jrib> tim_abell: glad it worked, no need for a link, thanks
[11:27] <arjen_ubu> gregorygreg: it's how i started out, i tried some C++ tutorials
[11:27] <d4rkmonkey> nedw, ok
[11:27] <gregorygreg> is the documentation that comes with ubuntu any good?
[11:27] <telejedi> marfi: do you have sda2=os-x - sda3=ubuntu
[11:27] <gregorygreg> arien *
[11:27] <tim_abell> jrib: documented: http://timwise.blogspot.com/2007/07/ubuntu-screen-locking.html
[11:27] <gregorygreg> I'm guessing it is
[11:27] <gregorygreg> ha
[11:27] <arjen_ubu> gregorygreg: it's quite comprehensive yes
[11:27] <Marfi> telejedi, osx is installed inside of ubuntu. running osx ontop of ubuntu
[11:27] <JasonAllen> gregorygreg: ubuntu probably has the the biggest documentation effort on the web out of any distro
[11:28] <arjen_ubu> gregorygreg: the wiki is often more up to date then the official docs
[11:28] <shwouchk> for some reason I cant connect to wireless networks via networkmanager - my nic associates but I never get the IP - and if I run dhclient, my connection is set (although networkmanager still thinks its not...) what could cause this?
[11:28] <gregorygreg> yeah I know they are privately funded just for that purpose
[11:28] <JasonAllen> gregorygreg: one of the reasons I use it...
[11:28] <etalli> gregorygreg, and if it's not good enough, the Wiki is great!
[11:28] <arjen_ubu> !wiki
[11:28] <ubotu> http://wiki.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu development documentation wiki. If you are looking for system help, please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community - the Ubuntu community documentation.
[11:28] <gregorygreg> oh true
[11:29] <arjen_ubu> does ext3 ever need defragging by the way?
[11:29] <telejedi> marfi: is there a way to run mac osx, which is on another partition inside ubuntu, with vmware ?
[11:29] <arjen_ubu> since i havent seen any such software in the default ubuntu distro
[11:29] <caner_> my keyboard layout became arabic and i cant fix it could someone please help???
[11:29] <Marfi> telejedi, theoretically yes
[11:30] <d4rkmonkey> caner, I forget exactly how, give me a second and I'll see if I can find out
[11:30] <arjen_ubu> caner_: System > Preferences > Keyboard
[11:30] <d4rkmonkey> arjen_ubu, got it I guess
[11:30] <telejedi> marfi: that means: i can try this with vmware ?!
[11:30] <arjen_ubu> d4rkmonkey: \o/
[11:30] <h4wk0> caner_: System > Preferences > Keyboard
[11:31] <h4wk0> did somone beat me to it :(
[11:31] <d4rkmonkey> yeah
[11:31] <d4rkmonkey> lol
[11:31] <Marfi> telejedi, im running ubuntu and mac osx at the same time, on a non-mac
[11:31] <arjen_ubu> h4wk0: sorry :)
[11:31] <shwouchk> what was the name of the app that was kinda like amarok, but for gnome? some undead name...
[11:31] <John2> does anyone know a program to capture videos from a video camera, i have an old camera that use tape instead but it can do s-video out, is there a program in ubuntu that can caputer video in that tape and record it to the hardrive?
[11:31] <shwouchk> for some reason I cant connect to wireless networks via networkmanager - my nic associates but I never get the IP - and if I run dhclient, my connection is set (although networkmanager still thinks its not...) what could cause this?
[11:31] <fuzzy_logic> Marfi, how did you do that??
[11:31] <etalli> Marfi:  You've gotta let me in on this trick.  Running Mac OS X on a PC??
[11:32] <fuzzy_logic> shwouchk: rythmbox?
[11:32] <arjen_ubu> does ext3 ever need defragging by the way?
[11:32] <d4rkmonkey> shwouchk, banshee?
[11:32] <John2> anyone know?
[11:32] <arjen_ubu> since i havent seen any such software in the default ubuntu distro
[11:32] <shwouchk> fuzzy_logic: is rythmbox related in any way to undead? DUH
[11:32] <shwouchk> d4rkmonkey: thanks man
[11:32] <newuser00> can ubuntu get viruses through wine if it is run as root? or would they still be confined to wine, and be removed if it is uninstalled?
[11:32] <fuzzy_logic> shwnouchk: what kind of wireless card do you have?
[11:33] <shwouchk> fuzzy_logic: thanks though :P
[11:33] <Marfi> etalli, fuzzy_logic, search bittorrent for deadmoo vmware image
[11:33] <John2> does anyone know of such program?
[11:33] <caner_> e4wk0 , arjen_ubu : unfortunately syst>pref>keyb>layout doest work, it is english there but when i write it prints arabic from right to left :(. how can i fix it pls help?????
[11:33] <etalli> deadmoo, eh?  I should check that out.  Is it legal? :)
[11:33] <shwouchk> fuzzy_logic: if you can please autocomplete my nic, cause otherwise its hard to notice the messages in this high traffic
[11:33] <snipereye> hi all
[11:33] <arjen_ubu> caner_: when did that start to happen?
[11:34] <d4rkmonkey> Does anyone know if running Vista in VM Ware will put a huge strain on my system? I want to set up windows in VM ware if I really NEED a program, (don't really want to have to use it) and I'm just wondering if it would be bad to go with Vista
[11:34] <shwouchk> fuzzy_logic: dell 1370 if Im not mistaken... bcm43xx underneath
[11:34] <snipereye> I'm new to Linux world
[11:34] <caner_> h4wk0 , arjen_ubu : but it is o.k in firefox address bar (?) so i am writing there and copying to chat here :)
[11:34] <John2> does anyone know a program to capture videos from a video camera, i have an old camera that use tape instead but it can do s-video out, is there a program in ubuntu that can caputer video in that tape and record it to the hardrive?
[11:34] <Marfi> etalli, fuzzy_logic, it runs laggy, which is why i want to get vmware-tools installed for it. =)
[11:34] <shwouchk> fuzzy_logic: using ndiswrapper (native driver doesnt connect at all)
[11:34] <nyc-h0st> is there a quick way to mirror partitions from one drive to another, just the partition tables not the actual data?
[11:35] <nyc-h0st> i'm looking into setting up a software raid and i have like 6 partitions dont want to do each one by hand
[11:35] <arjen_ubu> caner_: hmm....any idea what might have caused this? your changed anything related to keyboard settings?
[11:35] <pike_> John2: if you can play it you can use mplayer to capture it
[11:35] <bslote> So I have a machine with 2 hard drives in it. I'm able to mount the 2nd one as a regular user, but I'm not able to write to it as a regular user. What should I do to get regular users to be able to write to it?
[11:35] <Marfi> nyc-h0st, are they the same drive?
[11:35] <caner_> h4wk0 , arjen_ubu may it be the system encoding ??
[11:36] <snipereye> does anyone knows if there's a fix for the cube-switch Bug?? please
[11:36] <Ominous> hmm in wow on ubuntu my fps is about 30% of what it was on windows, any preformance tips
[11:36] <nyc-h0st> Marfi if you mean size/speed yes
[11:36] <pike_> John2: vlc might also be a solution
[11:36] <nyc-h0st> and here is a kicker this is a live system
[11:36] <nyc-h0st> so i want to set this up as smooth as possible
[11:36] <Marfi> Ominous, are you running it with -opengl?
[11:36] <John2> where is the capture option in mplayer?
[11:36] <d4rkmonkey> Ominous, o_O maybe its something to do with your graphics card? My FPS went up like 200% when I switched to Ubuntu
[11:36] <arjen_ubu> caner_: could be, i cant tell
[11:36] <Marfi> same for me
[11:36] <Ethan> dumpt stream something -> man
[11:37] <John2> and how can it just capture with an s-video out cable?
[11:37] <shwouchk> for some reason I cant connect to wireless networks via networkmanager - my nic associates but I never get the IP - and if I run dhclient, my connection is set (although networkmanager still thinks its not...) what could cause this?
[11:37] <newuser00> can ubuntu get viruses through wine if it is run as root? or would they still be confined to wine, and be removed if it is uninstalled?
[11:37] <shavex> so i am installing Ruckus Player on ubuntu using Crossover pro... it gets an error that i cant update windows media player... i have windows media player installed using crossover, so whats the problem
[11:37] <arjen_ubu> snipereye: i have the exact same, i hope it gets fixed soon cuz i liked the feature, very cool
[11:37] <PriceChild> newuser00, yes
[11:37] <PriceChild> newuser00, never run wine as root
[11:37] <Marfi> nyc-h0st, are they one physical drive, or multiple drives?
[11:37] <PriceChild> newuser00, use root for system maintenance and _nothing_ else.
[11:37] <MrXorg> !snort
[11:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about snort - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:37] <d4rkmonkey> why would you need to run wine as root anyways?
[11:38] <mattrepl> is there anyway to upgrade (6.06 -> 6.10, in this case) from the CL?  would like to run update-manager without a GUI
[11:38] <mrunagi> can anyone explain to me why when you disable the desktop effects and re enable them the desktop cube doesnt work?
[11:38] <caner_> arjen_ubu : i dont know what they are but i must have pressed a key combination. i was writing a text today. i rebooted many times but it didnt work
[11:38] <MrXorg> can anyone help me compile mysql with snort?
