[04:18] <Viper5703> goestin hes wondering if it can be done in 5.10
[04:18] <urox> goestin, or maybe yes, i dont remember, how do i check ?
[04:18] <dorto> yeh, thx for the info
[04:18] <urox> it doesnt complaint that i dont have it installed
[04:18] <grout58> how do i mount a ntfs drive?
[04:18] <Frogzoo> !ntfs
[04:18] <ubotu> ntfs is, like, the filesystem used in Windows 2000 and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[04:19] <chuckyp> !tell grout58 about ntfs
[04:19] <grout58> i dont see it though
[04:19] <chuckyp> grout58, follow the wiki
[04:19] <Viper5703> urox you might need a Win32 system to install VMware Tools
[04:19] <goestin> urox, i thought you can check it by the options tab..... but i have only worked with vmware 4.5 i think so i'm not sure aboiut this....
[04:19] <Healot> Viper5703, running live CD will tell, pretty much like a fresh install, without the hassle
[04:19] <urox> Viper5703, win32 system ?
[04:20] <Viper5703> OK Healot thanks
[04:20] <Viper5703> yeah Windows
[04:20] <Viper5703> uro win32 is any windows type system
[04:20] <urox> so no easy way ?
[04:20] <Viper5703> I dont think so
[04:20] <urox> Viper5703, i'm using ubuntu as guest os, and windows as host os
[04:20] <General_Error> YES
[04:20] <General_Error> OH
[04:20] <General_Error> YES
[04:20] <General_Error> :D
[04:20] <Viper5703> Right as I am. LOL
[04:20] <General_Error> ty to the person who said
[04:20] <Healot> urox, tried the live CD yet?
[04:20] <General_Error> vESA
[04:20] <Viper5703> But you might need Windows as host OS
[04:20] <urox> what for ?
[04:20] <Frogzoo> urox: you can do that, but.... why?
[04:20] <chuckyp> General_Error, vesa worked I take it?
[04:21] <urox> because i need both
[04:21] <General_Error> chuckyp
[04:21] <urox> XP and ubuntu
[04:21] <urox> and i dont have a comp to spare
[04:21] <urox> what is this stupid questions
[04:21] <Viper5703> Dual boot
[04:21] <General_Error> yes
[04:21] <urox> i'm trying to get help to solve an issue
[04:21] <General_Error> thk you!
[04:21] <chuckyp> urox, I'm running dual boot.
[04:21] <Viper5703> Hey Urox
[04:21] <urox> Viper5703, i need them at SAME TIME
[04:21] <urox> DAMN
[04:21] <General_Error> such a simple answer
[04:21] <Frogzoo> urox: well, you'd be much better off with ubuntu as host but that's by the by
[04:21] <urox> dual boot isnt sufficient
[04:21] <urox> since i need at the same time
[04:21] <Healot> no, with the live CD you can try before really installing ubuntu on disk. much safer faster way to try
[04:21] <jonolson> urox, You are confusing people.  Do you mean running both of the OS's at the *same* time, or just having both there to use?
[04:21] <chuckyp> General_Error, now you can install the ati drivers and all will be well.  if it blows out again just switch back to vesa
[04:21] <urox> yeah, welp i use ubuntu only for web/apache development
[04:21] <Viper5703> Urox you have any type of IM?
[04:21] <urox> and everything else in windows
[04:21] <goestin> urox, maybe a stupid idea but, can't you share a folder with samba and mount it in window
[04:21] <goestin> windows
[04:21] <chuckyp> urox, just daul boot.
[04:21] <Pygi> General_error: works now?
[04:22] <elkbuntu> urox, dual boot
[04:22] <urox> situation: using ubuntu as guest os in vmware, problem: shared folders dont work
[04:22] <goestin> with "map a network drive" ?
[04:22] <General_Error> yah
[04:22] <urox> how do i fix this ?
[04:22] <General_Error> i think
[04:22] <General_Error> that was in recovery mode
[04:22] <chuckyp> urox, you can see your nix partition in windows also if thats what you are looking for.
[04:22] <General_Error> ima try in normal now
[04:22] <urox> Viper5703, yeah, but whats wrong here ? (in a personal chanel)
[04:22] <urox> dual boot = stupid solution
[04:22] <Viper5703> Im getting confused. LOL
[04:22] <urox> no
[04:22] <urox> i'm looking for shared folders to work
[04:22] <chuckyp> urox, okay so then your question is with vmware?
[04:22] <elkbuntu> ubotu tell urox about dualboot
[04:22] <Viper5703> and I like helping on personal level, lakes it easier
[04:22] <urox> like it did in redhat 7 in vmware without issue
[04:22] <Viper5703> *makes
[04:22] <urox> wow
[04:22] <urox> look
[04:22] <urox> i know dual boot
[04:22] <urox> i've used it
[04:22] <grout58> ok i have it mounted but now it says the ntfs drive is readon only
[04:22] <urox> not a good idea here
[04:23] <chuckyp> i'm so confuse channel is going to fast.  urox type more than one fn word on a line please.
[04:23] <grout58> i need to write to it!!
[04:23] <Frogzoo> grout58: ntfs is read only - write isn't supported
[04:23] <urox> ok, how do i get the feature "shared folder" to work, not the stupid "dual boot"
[04:23] <Viper5703> Grout most linux distros cant write NTFS
[04:23] <chuckyp> grout58, you can't write to ntfs in linux well you can but it won't work.
[04:23] <jonolson> urox, Ok, so you know dual boot, but think it's a bad option.  You only want to use ubuntu for apache dev.  You mean...as a server?
[04:23] <General_Error> OMFG
[04:23] <General_Error> YES
[04:23] <General_Error> :D
[04:23] <elkbuntu> urox: calm down, stop using enter as punctuation and for goodness sake, explain what you want in one go so we're not left guessing
[04:23] <urox> no, not a server, a development machine
[04:23] <dorto> why do i get this error: W: Couldn't stat source package list http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy/universe Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_universe_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
[04:23] <chuckyp> !tell urox about samba
[04:23] <Pygi> General_Error: congratulations ;))))
[04:23] <dorto> can some one help me?
[04:23] <chuckyp> urox, chill out and read the bot message
[04:23] <General_Error> :D ty for all your help lol
[04:23] <Frogzoo> grout58: google for 'encapsulated ntfs' - you can use a windows driver if you're feeling adventurous
[04:23] <urox> elkbuntu, i want vmware option, called shared folders (between host and guest os) to work in ubuntu
[04:24] <urox> in redhat 7 in vmware it was simlpe
[04:24] <chuckyp> dorto, what are you trying to do.
[04:24] <Pygi> general_error: yw ;) glad to hear it worked finally ;)
[04:24] <urox> surely it should be easy in ubuntu as well
[04:24] <chuckyp> urox, read the fn message or leave
[04:24] <urox> no wiki page about it ?
[04:24] <General_Error> yeah after about 3 hours lol
[04:24] <Viper5703> Urox can asume you have AIM?
[04:24] <urox> why use samba.. blah
[04:24] <chuckyp> I SENT YOU THE LINK
[04:24] <dorto> chuckyp: whenever i start synaptic, i get this error.
[04:24] <urox> Viper5703, nop
[04:24] <NegativeSpace> Is installing a package is just a case of "sudo apt-get install ..." ?
[04:24] <urox> chuckyp, for SAMBA
[04:24] <Viper5703> What do you have?
[04:24] <chuckyp> dorto, try in terminal apt-get update
[04:24] <urox> SAMBA isnt shared folders
[04:24] <dorto> chuckyp: also when i do apt-cache search
[04:24] <gioeleb> is there a possibility to see ejabberd 1.0.0 in dapper? It has been frozed at version 0.9.8, but that version is not XMPP compliant. This is bad for my server :(
[04:24] <dorto> chuckyp: k
[04:24] <Frogzoo> NegativeSpace: yup
[04:24] <goestin> urox, because windows's NFS support isn't that good :)
[04:24] <NegativeSpace> Or does that just download the install FILES?
[04:24] <urox> wow..y ou ppl have no idea what vmware is, ha ?
[04:25] <urox> never used it in your ilfe..
[04:25] <elkbuntu> urox stop being aggressive
[04:25] <urox> that might explain why you dont understand what i want..
[04:25] <goestin> dorto: I assume you already did an apt-get update?
[04:25] <NegativeSpace> Frogzoo Okay, cheers.
[04:25] <urox> elkbuntu, it's hard when ppl keep suggestion wrong ways to solve a problem
[04:25] <grout58> how can i convert the drive to a linux filesystem?
[04:25] <Viper5703> Urox what IM client do you use?
[04:25] <Frogzoo> urox: some of us run qemu :p
[04:25] <elkbuntu> urox we didnt understand what you want becuase you werent clear with your question to begin with
[04:25] <jonolson> urox, Aggressiveness won't help when your question isn't very clear at all. :)
[04:25] <chuckyp> urox, no we don't you are talking about shared folders I have no idea how you would share a folder in ubuntu with out using SAMBA to a windows box.
[04:25] <Viper5703> I know what he wants
[04:25] <Viper5703> and its not that difficult to understand
[04:25] <magnus_1986> Hello people, good evening
[04:25] <urox> Viper5703, you want private talk ?
[04:25] <Viper5703> yes
[04:26] <chuckyp> please get him out of channel
[04:26] <elkbuntu> thanks Viper5703
[04:26] <Healot> evening magnus_1986, any question?
[04:26] <Frogzoo> urox: just use smb4k to mount the shares...?
[04:26] <MrRio> when was flight 5 released?
[04:26] <urox> vmware offers a special virtualization layer for hard disk which allows to mount directrioes from the host os, in the guest os
[04:26] <urox> without using anything but mount //host/c //mnt/c
[04:26] <Viper5703> Frogzoo Ill take this over.
[04:26] <urox> and it works, without samba, without nothing
[04:26] <magnus_1986> Healot: just one. Is there going to be a time when Winmodems will be supported?
[04:26] <goestin> no he wants an option in vmware.... so the host and the guest operating system have a shared folder... so not over a network
[04:26] <jonolson> magnus_1986, Some are.
[04:26] <Pygi> magnus: no, never, never, never ;)))))
[04:26] <Healot> magnus_1986, ask the manufacturers///
[04:26] <urox> it worked for me in the past with redhat 7 as guest, and i want it to work in ubuntu as well
[04:26] <Healot> most aren't very supportive...
[04:27] <Viper5703> Urox what IM client to you have?
[04:27] <grout58> how can i convert the drive to a linux filesystem?
[04:27] <chuckyp> urox, well your problem isn't with ubuntu then its with vmware.
[04:27] <urox> Viper5703, non, if you want to talk to me, come to #urox
[04:27] <Healot> !winmodem
[04:27] <ubotu> rumour has it, winmodem is To get started with winmodems on linux, see http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/
[04:27] <chuckyp> grout58, you don't want to do that.
[04:27] <goestin> grout58, mkfs.ext3 /dev/hda1
[04:27] <Viper5703> Sorry missed that line.
[04:27] <spanner3003> thank you all i now have cedega cvs installed on ubuntu :d
[04:27] <grout58> why not?
[04:27] <elkbuntu> urox please refrain from 'but it worked with <insert os here> but it doesnt with ubuntu' as that is called trolling and is not welcome here
[04:27] <urox> chuckyp, welp, i was hpoing there are some ppl here who use them both
[04:27] <chuckyp> grout58, well it will blow out your data
[04:27] <magnus_1986> I tried linmodems. Mine is not supported.
[04:27] <chuckyp> urox, but the problem isn't ubuntu related so I doubt it.
[04:27] <Healot> use real hardware for gnu/linux, soft-hardwares are blunt
[04:27] <gopi> chuckyp: I did wget -c ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb
[04:28] <NegativeSpace> How do I "enable synaptics touchpas support when configuring the kernel (CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2)" ?
[04:28] <gopi> chuckyp: And its getting downloaded
[04:28] <Healot> sorry, magnus_1986 we can do nothing about that, unless you know the hardware blueprint...
[04:28] <gnomefreak> we dont support <insert os other than ubuntu here> :)
[04:28] <jonolson> magnus_1986, *shrugs*  Maybe sometime in the future....but not now
[04:28] <goestin> grout58, yeah ow....sorry i mean.. /dev/hda1 was an example
[04:28] <NegativeSpace> touchpad*
[04:28] <magnus_1986> thank you people. You guys are more helpful than I thought, no really.
[04:28] <chuckyp> gopi, just follow the codecs section it looks like you don't have the codecs for whatever your card is capturing in.
[04:28] <gopi> chuckyp: But mine is AMD64 system and using Ubuntu for AMD64 systems !
[04:28] <DoTheRodeo> why not: sudo aptitude install w32codecs ?
[04:28] <jonolson> gnomefreak, I don't see anyone who's asking for another OS...?
[04:28] <chuckyp> gopi, hrm....
[04:28] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell DoTheRodeo about w32codecs
[04:28] <jonolson> gnomefreak, Or distro for that matter ;)
[04:29] <DoTheRodeo> gnomefreak?
[04:29] <DoTheRodeo> lol
[04:29] <gnomefreak> DoTheRodeo: ?
[04:29] <DoTheRodeo> im trying to help gopi
[04:29] <chuckyp> grout58, What is your ultimate goal here?  I'm taking it you are dualbooting?
[04:29] <elkbuntu> tell gnomefreak it wasnt asking how to use another os, it was 'it worked in <other os> but not here
[04:29] <DoTheRodeo> what are you talkin about?
[04:29] <gnomefreak> oh sorry
[04:29] <gopi> chuckyp: but why is it mentioned in that page as....... w32 codecs package ?
[04:29] <chuckyp> gopi, windows 32
[04:29] <gopi> chuckyp: Because its not windows right ?
[04:29] <Pygi> elkbuntu: bah, we should just ignore beavers like that ;)
[04:29] <gnomefreak> DoTheRodeo: you asked why not use aptitude  you should really type the name of person you are helping
[04:29] <Healot> you can get w32codecs from xinehq.de or Seveas repos
[04:29] <DoTheRodeo> yeah
[04:30] <elkbuntu> Pygi, that would be fine, except his enter-for-punctuation habit sped the channel up two notches ;)
[04:30] <gopi> chuckyp: No but why is w32 needed ??
[04:30] <WebLOCH> anyone else here had trouble since the azureus GTK swing update ?
[04:30] <jonolson> gopi, To play mp3s, avi, etc etc.
[04:30] <Micksa> aw crap
[04:30] <Pygi> !enter
[04:30] <ubotu> please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying. Write in complete sentences and keep your replies and questions on one line if possible. Thanks!
[04:30] <Micksa> I just found a bug in wget
[04:30] <Micksa> Length: -1,466,335,232 [text/plain]
[04:30] <chuckyp> gopi, for wmv wma all that stuff if you would just tell me what kind of capture card you have you can just install the codec for that.
[04:30] <mustard5> I'm reading a post on the forums about someone wanting to 'downgrade' from dapper to breezy...is this possible?
[04:30] <Micksa> 02:30:22 (0.00 B/s) - `GKDVD-4.0.2-0.3-EN.iso' saved [0/-1466335232] )
[04:31] <chuckyp> gopi, but you didn't.  So i just sentyou there to install them all.
[04:31] <NegativeSpace> How do I "enable synaptics touchpad support when configuring the kernel (CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2)" ?
[04:31] <gnomefreak> Micksa: please use pastebin to paste
[04:31] <grout58> whats the command to unmount?
[04:31] <magnus_1986> Whats 'yum' and is it related to ubuntu?
[04:31] <mustard5> They seem to want to just change their sources.list from dapper to breezy sources...I just have my doubts about this as a method :)
[04:31] <Micksa> hey, that was only 2 lines :P
[04:31] <gopi> chuckyp: ok mine is Pinnacle PCTV card and I already installed bttv drivers !
[04:31] <chuckyp> grout58, umount
[04:31] <Healot> Micksa, it's not a bug... really... that's caused by file more than 4Gig
[04:31] <steven_> hi there, is it possible to install the live cd on to my pc?
[04:31] <goestin> grout58, umount /device/to/unmount
[04:31] <Healot> more to filesystem error, not wget
[04:31] <chuckyp> gopi, does it capture mpeg2 or rtjpeg?
[04:31] <gnomefreak> magnus_1986: its the package manager for redhat and has nothing to do with ubuntu
[04:31] <Micksa> shoould not wget be able to handle those?
[04:31] <Frogzoo> grout58: sudo umount /dev/xxx
[04:32] <magnus_1986> oh thanks, gnomefreak'
[04:32] <Micksa> I mean, web servers can hold them (apparently), my filesystem can hold them
[04:32] <gopi> chuckyp: no idea but Iam able to play xawtv successfully
[04:32] <gnomefreak> magnus_1986: yw
[04:32] <das_cookie> Hello
[04:32] <steven_> anyone?
[04:32] <Healot> no... i think there is a wget release with >4gig file size support out there...
[04:32] <MrRio> Anyone know when dapper flight 5 was released?
[04:32] <elkbuntu> ubotu tell micksa about launchpad
[04:32] <das_cookie> why does Shift+Backspace restart my X server all of a sudden?
[04:32] <Frogzoo> steven_: nope - to install, you need the install cd
[04:32] <goestin> Anyone of you knows why ubuntu hasn't got a root user standard?
[04:32] <gnomefreak> MrRio: this past week iirc
[04:32] <chuckyp> gopi, okay then what is the problem another app isn't playing video?
[04:32] <steven_> Frogzoo: thanks mate
[04:32] <jonolson> das_cookie, Tis a shortcut to do so ;)
[04:32] <chuckyp> gopi, but xawtv is?
[04:32] <gopi> chuckyp: thats what Iam wondering ...
[04:33] <Pygi> elkbuntu: ubotu is breaking his/her own rule about enter ;)
[04:33] <mustard5> goestin because it uses sudo
[04:33] <gopi> chuckyp: yeah xawtv is playing
[04:33] <das_cookie> jonolson, its a bad shortcut to do so, any way to change it?
[04:33] <goestin> mustard5, yes i know.. but why?
[04:33] <elkbuntu> pygi hmm?
[04:33] <chuckyp> gopi, then you need to find out what movie player xawtv is using vs. zapper tv or whatever other app you are trying to get working.
[04:33] <mustard5> goestin: because its deemed to be a safer way of doing things
[04:33] <das_cookie> I restarted the x server 4 times in 2 minutes trying to type a paragraph
[04:34] <gopi> chuckyp: xawtv is using bttv drivers
[04:34] <chuckyp> das_cookie, ctrl+alt+backspace shoudl do it.
[04:34] <Pygi> elkbuntu: well, once you type "!enter", ubuntu breaks his/her own rules, and use enter as punctuation, with several lines, while the bot itself suggests one ;)
[04:34] <jonolson> das_cookie, I know there is a way, I just don't ... know it myself.  Ask around here.
[04:34] <gopi> chuckyp: And I guess Zapper tv is also using same right ?
[04:34] <mgedmin> das_cookie: Ctrl+Alt+Backspace restarts the X server
[04:34] <das_cookie> I dont want to restart my x server though
[04:34] <das_cookie> I already know how
[04:34] <goestin> well... of for a smoke
[04:34] <das_cookie> but why does shift+backspace do it?
[04:34] <jonolson> mgedmin, He wants to get rid of the shortcut.
[04:34] <mgedmin> I've done that a few times by accident while trying to use Ctrl+Backspace to delete a word
[04:34] <mgedmin> it is possible to disable this shortcut
[04:35] <jonolson> mgedmin, He wants to know how, I don't know how ;)  I just know it's possible.
[04:35] <elkbuntu> Pygi, there could be a line length limiter somewhere
[04:35] <das_cookie> I tried looking in xorg.conf to see
[04:35] <chuckyp> gopi, yes but they are both using movie players like totem or xine or whatever to play the video and audio.  Thats the difference and whatever player that is may need to be changed in tha tapplication.  I'm sure someone whom actually uses zapper might be able to help better.  Liek their forums etc... I'm sureyou are not the first with this problem.
[04:35] <mgedmin> its an option in xorg.conf
[04:35] <das_cookie> hmnm, I see.
[04:35] <Pygi> elkbuntu: that would be perfect if...
[04:35] <mgedmin> das_cookie: try man xorg.conf
[04:36] <gopi> chuckyp: Actually I tried TVtime Television viewer ans same problem like this..... no video but audio alone !
[04:36] <mgedmin> das_cookie:        Option "DontZap"  "boolean"
[04:36] <chuckyp> gopi, like go to their website i'm sure they have documentation like I say each app could be using a different movie player and whatever movie player they are using is having issues with the codec.
[04:36] <mustard5> gopi: do you have 'sound server' enabled in your sound preferences?
[04:36] <das_cookie> what section does that go in?
[04:36] <chuckyp> mustard5, its not that.
[04:37] <mustard5> chuckyp: you checked that already?
[04:37] <grout58> hey linux can write to fat32 right?
[04:37] <chuckyp> mustard5, he has no video he is missing codecs for whatever movie player zapper and tvtime are using.
[04:37] <gopi> chuckyp: ok chuckyp I will try that !
[04:37] <chuckyp> grout58, yes
[04:37] <mustard5> chuckyp: ah ok
[04:37] <gopi> mustard5: No idea
[04:37] <Frogzoo> grout58: indeed - mount as fs 'vfat'
[04:37] <chuckyp> grout58, if you can convert your xp partition to fat32 in WINDOWS then you could write to it.
[04:37] <grout58> anyway linux can convert to fat32?
[04:37] <mustard5> gopi: ignore what I said..I thought you were watching TV ...but your playing movie files it seems
[04:38] <Frogzoo> grout58: no - do it from windows
[04:38] <chuckyp> gopi, i'm sure if you go to zapper or tvtimes site they have an faq with audio but no video problems.
[04:38] <gopi> mustard5: ok
[04:38] <grout58> i dont have windows :P
[04:38] <das_cookie> mgedmin: what section would that go in xorg.conf?
[04:38] <grout58> well installed on this machine anyway
[04:38] <chuckyp> mustard5, no he is watching tv. atleast I thought he was but the stream from the card is just like amvoie.
[04:38] <das_cookie> keyboard?
[04:38] <chuckyp> grout58, well then how is there an ntfs partition or better yet why?
[04:38] <mustard5> chuckyp: ok..I'm just thinking about how I got my xawtv to work with that problem
[04:39] <cvtboudreaux> im thinking of shrinking my laptop's ntfs partition using partition magic to make room for ubuntu, any success stories doing this?
[04:39] <mustard5> chuckyp: when there is a conflict with sound..I get no picture...just sound
[04:39] <chuckyp> mustard5, yeah but he is lacking video not audio.
[04:39] <chuckyp> mustard5, thats goofy
[04:39] <mustard5> chuckyp: thats what happens though :)
[04:39] <chuckyp> gopi, yeah i dunno try that then.  Sorry mustard.
[04:39] <gnomefreak> cvtboudreaux: ubuntus partitioner will do that too
[04:39] <Healot> gparted does well...
[04:40] <NegativeSpace> Did Italy beat Wales?
[04:40] <mustard5> gopi: I'd like to try my idea if your keen
[04:40] <chuckyp> !tell NegativeSpace about offtopic
[04:40] <cvtboudreaux> i just want to know the best way so i don't destroy my ntfs partition
[04:40] <MrRio> can anyone chaneg the topic in #ubuntu+1 to reflect the dapper 5 release? "Flight 4 is out: http://tinyurl.com/s3vq8" needs to be changed to "Flight 5 is out: http://tinyurl.com/ntq9h"
[04:40] <Blippe> !automatix
[04:40] <ubotu> rumour has it, automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'ynYn'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation.
[04:40] <gnomefreak> cvtboudreaux: first defrag it than use ubuntus partitioner
[04:40] <beruic> Do I really have to reconfigure xserver-xorg to add/remove screenresolutions from my options list?
[04:40] <Frogzoo> I'm assuming that if you want to use gparted to shrink an ntfs partition, it's essential to defrag from doze first?
[04:41] <Healot> cvtboudreaux, go with Partition Magic if you're comfortable with it
[04:41] <gnomefreak> MrRio: it will be changed
[04:41] <Healot> if you're adventureous, you might wanna try gparted
[04:41] <MrRio> gnomefreak: k
[04:41] <Healot> defragment first... recommended... cvtboudreaux
[04:42] <mustard5> chuckyp: did gopi try changing from overlay to grabdisplay?
[04:42] <cvtboudreaux> i defraged already.... i guess ill just go with partition magic... if it gets destroyed... then i guess i have a long day of reinstalling ahead
[04:42] <General_Error> hey, im just getting used to this but i would like to know and how to install the new firefox, i got it downloaded, but what do i do now?
[04:42] <Frogzoo> !ff1.5
[04:42] <ubotu> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[04:42] <Healot> yeah, cvtboudreaux , I had no problem with PTmagic though
[04:42] <General_Error> ty
[04:43] <Frogzoo> cheers General_Error
[04:43] <gopi> mustard5: tell me
[04:43] <gopi> mustard5: I didnt try that
[04:43] <General_Error> :)
[04:43] <beruic> Do I really have to reconfigure xserver-xorg to add/remove screenresolutions from my options list?
[04:43] <mustard5> gopi: when you run xawtv try 'grabdisplay' instead of overlay
[04:43] <gopi> mustard5: How to do that ?
[04:43] <Healot> Cheers sounds like South Park... Cheers "F*** face" :)
[04:43] <beruic> or is there another way?
[04:43] <gnomefreak> beruic: add remove yes to change it no
[04:43] <Frogzoo> beruic: nope - just edit xorg.conf
[04:43] <jonolson> Healot, Cheers is an English thing ;)
[04:43] <mgedmin> das_cookie: Section "ServerFlags"
[04:43] <mustard5> gopi: right click on the xawtv window it opens up a window
[04:43] <mgedmin> das_cookie: create one if it doesn't exist already
[04:44] <beruic> Frogzoo: thx :)
[04:44] <Healot> yeah... it just reminds me, I saw bad cartoon in latter years
[04:44] <gnomefreak> beruic: if you look in system>preff>screen resolution you could have changed it there
[04:44] <beruic> Frogzoo: Where is it placed?
[04:44] <WebLOCH> Anyone else found a fix for the azureus / java-gtk problem ?
[04:44] <gopi> mustard5: Yeah I did that And video got disappeared !
[04:44] <Frogzoo> beruic: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:44] <timus> how do i add read/write share of a slave drive in ubuntu?
[04:44] <gopi> mustard5: when it was Overlay.... it was working fine
[04:44] <gnomefreak> timus: what fs is it in?
[04:44] <beruic> gnomefreak: I need to add and remove to get a higher max...
[04:44] <mustard5> gopi: ok put it back to overlay then
[04:45] <gopi> mustard5: ok but what about in Zapper and TVtime ?
[04:45] <Frogzoo> timus: it's a little involved - create partitions - mkfs.ext3 - edit /etc/fstab
[04:45] <beruic> Frogzoo: Mange tak (danish for thank you a lot)
[04:45] <mustard5> gopi: I have never used them...xawtv works fine for me...but I can't have any other sound apps playing when I use it
[04:46] <mustard5> gopi: so in overlay you get picture but no sound?
[04:46] <gopi> mustard5: Are u able to record in xawtv ??
[04:46] <gopi> mustard5: No in Overlay both are playing !
[04:46] <krishna> hi guys... suggest a good video player to play .wmv files...
[04:46] <Dr_Willis> krishna,  vlc, mplayer,xine
[04:46] <mustard5> gopi: so you are trying to record?  I have done it once, but I don't have it installed anymore
[04:47] <Dr_Willis> krishna,  those 3 are the top players. also the CODEC used by the video file will matter.
[04:47] <gopi> mustard5: yes I am not able to record.......
[04:47] <das_cookie> mgedmin: thanks, I'll try this
[04:47] <gopi> mustard5: Did it work for u ?
[04:47] <mustard5> gopi: ah ok..I'm trying to recall actually....
[04:47] <Frogzoo> Dr_Willis: hmm... gxine doesn't make top 3?
[04:47] <mustard5> gopi: I'm wondering whether I had it recording on windows or linux...can't remember
[04:47] <grout58> chuckyp check ur pm
[04:47] <Dr_Willis> Frogzoo,  its just a xine varient.. so no. :P
[04:48] <mustard5> gopi: what app are you using for recording?
[04:48] <krishna> which codec should i be using
[04:48] <Frogzoo> !restricted
[04:48] <ubotu> I heard restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed here can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[04:48] <krishna> i have xine
[04:48] <gopi> mustard5: No idea.... how to check that ?
[04:48] <gopi> mustard5: Its xawtv
[04:48] <Dr_Willis> krishna,  theres literaly hundereds of codecs.. its a question of what codec did the video maker use...
[04:48] <mustard5> gopi: you would have to search for one
[04:48] <Dr_Willis> krishna,  unless you are making your own videos. :P
[04:49] <mustard5> gopi: brb
[04:49] <krishna> i wish i could...
[04:50] <mustard5> gopi: xawtv doenst have record in its functions by default I don't think..at least I have never seen it
[04:50] <mustard5> gopi: doh..hehe..'record avi'  hehe
[04:50] <mustard5> gopi:  I see it :)
[04:50] <mustard5> gopi: I'll give it a try :)
[04:51] <anarchy_> hi there, i have a problem with an acer wlan usb dongle, maybe anyone could help me?
[04:52] <chuckyp> anarchy_, whats the problem?
[04:52] <gopi> mustard5: ok
[04:53] <mustard5> gopi: hmm..well xawtv is crashing when I press 'stop' :)
[04:53] <anarchy_> the command tail var/log/messages reports : probe of xx failed with error -20
[04:53] <chuckyp> anarchy_, ok
[04:54] <chuckyp> anarchy_, what is the problem?
[04:54] <mustard5> gopi: its also saving what should be an .avi as a .png
[04:54] <mustard5> gopi: apparently its making the wave file though
[04:54] <anarchy_> well i tried loading the drivers with ndiswrapper, but the device won't be shown when i enter iwconfig
[04:54] <gopi> mustard5: hehe yes recording works like a hell in it :(
[04:54] <chuckyp> mustard5, did you have him try the sound server disable? for the other apps>
[04:55] <chuckyp> anarchy_, did you follow ndiswrapper's wiki?
[04:55] <NegativeSpace> How do I "enable synaptics touchpad support when configuring the kernel (CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2)" ?
[04:55] <mustard5> chuckyp: no..I was thinking he had a different issue at that time
[04:55] <gopi> chuckyp, mustard5: How to try disabling sound server and give it a try ?
[04:55] <anarchy_> yeah, it just goes like if "tail var/log/messages" reports no errors go on with this an that
[04:55] <anarchy_> but it does report this error
[04:56] <chuckyp> anarchy_, what model number is your nic etc...
[04:56] <FunnyLookinHat> spanner3003, sorry, didn't mean to be rude.  ^_^;;
[04:56] <mustard5> gopi: hehhe..I'm listening to the sound file it recorded and it recorded the sound from a different channel to the one I was watching :)
[04:57] <gopi> mustart5: lol
[04:57] <mustard5> gopi: sound server is in the System>>Preferences menu
[04:57] <anarchy_> it doesnt have a real model number. its the "Acer Wlan 11g USB Dongle"
[04:57] <mustard5> gopi: I'm on dapper atm though..I really need to try this on my breezy install
[04:57] <chuckyp> k
[04:57] <chuckyp> anarchy_, k hold up
[04:58] <mustard5> gopi: also when I play the .wav in totem my screen goes blank
[04:58] <spanner3003> FunnyLookinHat, it not that i just dont want to pay for some think in not going to use
[04:59] <prodenter> I cant print cos gtklp says "unable to connect to local host" any ideas?
[04:59] <NegativeSpace> Can I go "sudo apt-get install gcc" to get the latest compiler?
[04:59] <rey> any one know how to print using lexmark 1185 under ubuntu?
[04:59] <anarchy_> chuckyp, the closes to a model number i can come up with is : WLAN-G-US1
[04:59] <gnomefreak> NegativeSpace: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:59] <NegativeSpace> gnomefreak Thanks.
[04:59] <gnomefreak> ye NegativeSpace
[04:59] <gnomefreak> yw
[05:00] <rey> any one know how to print using lexmark 1185 under ubuntu?
[05:00] <cvtboudreaux> whew!!! that was the scariest 10 min of my life... Partition Magic worked like a charm
[05:00] <gopi> chuckyp, mustard5: Still w32 codes are getting downloaded... How big is that file ?
[05:00] <mustard5> gopi: quite large..
[05:00] <mustard5> gopi: about 32 mb I think
[05:00] <gopi> chuckyp, mustard5: Some 3 are showing done and 4th one is in progress
[05:01] <gopi> chuckyp, mustard5: i see but is it worth trying it ?
[05:01] <chuckyp> gopi, that may not be your issue.  Like I said I dunno if your card captures mpeg or rtjpeg there are codecs on that page for those.
[05:01] <chuckyp> gopi, try the rtjpeg codec install
[05:01] <chuckyp> gopi, see if thta helps
[05:01] <gopi> chuckyp: where to get it from ?
[05:02] <das_cookie> mgedmin: thanks, but that wasn't the problem, it was an XGL thing, I had to put a command in startup
[05:02] <pescez> ragazzi buonasera a tutti
[05:02] <das_cookie> but I can't get compiz to work right
[05:02] <pescez> ho un problema.. :P
[05:02] <pescez> ah it's only english here sorry..
[05:02] <das_cookie> whenever I run it, it takes away both panels in gnome and all my window chrome
[05:03] <pescez> how can i discover if my guarddog settings start at boot-time?
[05:03] <anarchy_> brb in a secound, gotta feed my cat quick
[05:03] <pescez> i didn't find a link in rcX.d but a script in init.d
[05:04] <chombee> Hello Ubuntu
[05:04] <chuckyp> gopi, mjpegtools
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> pescez,  try 'iptables --list ' (i think)
[05:04] <fly-away> /usr/lib/firefox-1.5/firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/firefox-1.5/components/libdocshell.so: undefined symbol: PR_GetPhysicalMemorySize
[05:04] <gopi> chuckyp: mjpegtools ?
[05:04] <chuckyp> anarchy_, I can't find anything on that card.  which drivers are you trying the ones from the windows cd or the ndiswrapper download?
[05:04] <fly-away> wtf?
[05:04] <gopi> Goldfisch: hello there !
[05:04] <chuckyp> gopi, apt-get install mjpegtools
[05:05] <gopi> chuckyp: ok !
[05:05] <chombee> I'm an an install-fest, we have a laptop that we're trying to install Ubuntu on, but after install, no bootable devices are detected on the hard drive, we are not even getting as far as GRUB. We have no clue! Any ideas?
[05:05] <anarchy_> neither, im trying the newest drivers from acer
[05:05] <balu> hey, i wasn wdonering, where is the guide on enabling multiverses
[05:05] <grout58> can anyone think of a reason im getting this error?
[05:05] <grout58> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1,
[05:05] <Goldfisch> This time I am playing with ircssi.
[05:05] <grout58>        missing codepage or other error
[05:05] <grout58>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[05:05] <grout58>        dmesg | tail  or so
[05:05] <Siddhartha211> hey i need some help
[05:05] <Siddhartha211> I'm trying to use LiveCD
[05:05] <Siddhartha211> except I dunno how to boot from cd in windows xp
[05:05] <chuckyp> grout58, sudo cfdisk /dev/hdb
[05:05] <Frogzoo> chombee: LBA enabled in bios?
[05:05] <Siddhartha211> i can do it in windows 98
[05:05] <grout58> i did
[05:05] <chombee> Frogzoo - LBA?
[05:05] <fich> me needs help - saw some tricky things with Ubuntu desktops changing like a rotating cube. Where to get it?
[05:05] <Siddhartha211> but not in windows XP
[05:05] <chuckyp> grout58, pm me again
[05:05] <anarchy_> this is for my laptop, if i cant get this working is there any pcmcia wlan card someone could recommend?
[05:06] <Siddhartha211> can someone help me..
[05:06] <chuckyp> anarchy_, orinoco
[05:06] <Frogzoo> chombee: in the bios's disk detection - disk mode should be set to LBA
[05:06] <anarchy_> thanks, ill look that up
[05:06] <Siddhartha211> anyone...
[05:06] <chuckyp> anarchy_, might want to look around linuxcompatible they list them.
[05:06] <Siddhartha211> I cant get the LiveCD to work
[05:06] <Siddhartha211> oh come on dont ignore me
[05:06] <chuckyp> anarchy_, also if you use the drivers from ndiswrappers site instead of the cd it will probably work.
[05:06] <fich> me needs help - saw some tricky things with Ubuntu desktops changing like a rotating cube. Where to get it?
[05:06] <gopi> Goldfisch: You are having mythtv in AMD64 system right ?
[05:06] <Siddhartha211> how do u get the live cd to work
[05:06] <snowblink> fich, dapper
[05:06] <chuckyp> anarchy_, and if you follow their directions step by step
[05:06] <grout58> did u get my pm?
[05:07] <chuckyp> grout58, no
[05:07] <fich> snowblink: what?
[05:07] <Goldfisch> gopi: Yup. https://scifi.homelinux.net/mediawiki , and then navigate to MythTV for pictures, etc.
[05:07] <chombee> Frogzoo - we don't think that's the problem.
[05:07] <gopi> Goldfisch: I was not able to install it in my AMD64 system :(
[05:07] <anarchy_> chuckyp, ok i will try that, thanks a lot :)
[05:07] <balu> is there a good reason not to use kubuntu?
[05:07] <gopi> Goldfisch: I tried a lot but in vain :( Can u help me installing it ?
[05:07] <balu> over ubuntu that is.
[05:08] <PuppiesOnAcid> balu: Some prefer Gnome to KDE
[05:08] <Frogzoo> chombee: but the install itself ran fine to completion? including the install of grub?
[05:08] <Siddhartha211> anyone
[05:08] <chombee> We installed Ubuntu dual-boot, apparently successfully, but on restart we do not get GRUB
[05:08] <Goldfisch> gopi: That's no fun. How far did you get?
[05:08] <chombee> Frogzoo  - yes, it appeared to go fine
[05:08] <NegativeSpace> What does "... enable synaptics touchpad support when configuring the kernel (CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2)" mean, and how do I do it?
[05:08] <Siddhartha211> how do u use the livecd
[05:08] <HymnToLife> balu> no, cause Ubuntu and Kubuntu are the same damn thing ><
[05:08] <chuckyp> chombee, whats the other os?
[05:08] <balu> poppey, I c so the differences are simply cosmetic right?
[05:08] <chuckyp> grout58, did you get my pm?
[05:08] <chombee> Frogzoo - it is as if GRUB did not get written to the boot sector properyl, even though it thought it did
[05:08] <chombee> chuckyp - WinXP
[05:08] <cvtboudreaux> If you have XP on your main partition, does unbuntu give you a choice as to where it installs grub?
[05:08] <snowblink> Siddhartha211, put the CD in your drive. Reboot.
[05:09] <Siddhartha211> i did
[05:09] <balu> i think im a bigger fan of the KDE..
[05:09] <^Odd^> isthere a ibm thinkpad lappy person in here?
[05:09] <cvtboudreaux> like.. NOT the MBR
[05:09] <chuckyp> chombee, as long as grub writes to mbr on /dev/hda1 you should be good to go.
[05:09] <Siddhartha211> it just boots windows XP
[05:09] <balu> but i dopnt want to uinstall my ubuntu again -_-
[05:09] <chuckyp> Siddhartha211, you need to set yoru bios to boot from cd
[05:09] <LjL> balu: do you mean the differences between Gnome and KDE? then no, they're far from being simply cosmetic
[05:09] <Siddhartha211> chukyp, how do i do that
[05:09] <gopi> Goldfisch: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9483
[05:09] <snowblink> Siddhartha211, you need to set your bios to boot off the CD then
[05:09] <HymnToLife> balu> no worry, you can install KDE on an ubuntu installation
[05:09] <Frogzoo> !tell chombee about grub
[05:09] <Siddhartha211> snowblink, how do i do that
[05:10] <balu> hymntolife: cool im glad
[05:10] <Frogzoo> chombee: check the grub troubleshooting section mebbe...easiest if you have a live cd about though
[05:10] <grout58> u get my msg cuckyp?
[05:10] <balu> LjL; what are the differences? major ones that would matter to the avg linux user
[05:10] <snowblink> Siddhartha211, on boot you should be given the option to change your bios settings
[05:10] <Siddhartha211> snowblink, how do i do that...and once i do that how do i change it back
[05:10] <Siddhartha211> okay
[05:10] <Siddhartha211> u mean like the F2 button
[05:10] <Frogzoo> chombee: what happens after power on?
[05:10] <Siddhartha211> for system settings
[05:11] <snowblink> Siddhartha211, it varies from system to system
[05:11] <chuckyp> Siddhartha211, yeah system settings
[05:11] <Siddhartha211> okay, i'm not sure if thats what you mean...anyone here use livecd with windows XP on a dell
[05:11] <gopi> Goldfisch: saw that page ?
[05:11] <Siddhartha211> okay
[05:11] <chombee> Frogzoo - laptop starts up as normal, says no bootable CD detected, then said no bootable hard drive... stops there. Nothin. We can boot LiveCD's and Install CD's but not from the HD
[05:11] <Siddhartha211> thanks
[05:11] <Goldfisch> gopi: That appears to be mythtv version 0.17. They just release 0.19. I wonder if there is even an amd64 build from back then.
[05:11] <Siddhartha211> illl be back and see if it works
[05:11] <chuckyp> Siddhartha211, then you go in and change the boot sequence to try the cdrom first before the hd.
[05:12] <chombee> Frogzoo - where is this trouble shooting page?
[05:12] <Goldfisch> gopi: I use SVN now instead of the package releases, because I was needing their latest-and-greatest HD patches. Can you pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list file?
[05:12] <Frogzoo> chombee: check pm from ubotu
[05:12] <gopi> Goldfisch: ok
[05:12] <chombee> Frogzoo - ah yes
[05:12] <chuckyp> chombee, if you need to fix the windows boot you can boot to xp cd in recovery mode then fixmbr
[05:13] <chuckyp> chombee, but you need to install grub to mbr on /dev/hda1 during install for dual boot to work.
[05:13] <chombee> chuckyp - we don't have an XP cd
[05:13] <balu> hey how can i get my "wireless connection" to show up in my systems tray in ubuntu?
[05:13] <LjL> balu: i can't really name "major" visible differences. to the "average user", they'll look quite similar - note, i said *look* quite similar, which means that the actual differences are *not* cosmetic, but deeper than that, so the actual user won't see them at a first glance
[05:13] <grout58> check ur pm
[05:13] <balu> LjL: cool thanks, ill look into it
[05:13] <NegativeSpace> How can I tell if I have XFree86 installed?
[05:13] <micle> #flood"
[05:13] <chombee> Frogzoo - we are not getting as far as GRUB, it's not a GRUB error but a pre-GRUB error
[05:13] <micle> fuck you all
[05:13] <micle> hi
[05:14] <micle> ou
[05:14] <chuckyp> NegativeSpace, what version of ubuntu are you using?
[05:14] <chuckyp> !ops
[05:14] <ubotu> Help! lilo, fabbione, lamont, Keybuk, jdub, mdz, Amaranth, tritium, ajmitch, crimsun, ogra, CarlK, Seveas, Burgundavia, apokryphos, thoreauputic, nalioth, Madpilot, ompaul, rob or Hobbsee

[05:14] <micle> stronzi
[05:14] <micle> coglioni
[05:14] <grout58> chuckp u get my pm?
[05:14] <micle> bastardi
[05:14] <chombee> chuckyp - yes, we have GRUB on hda1
[05:14] <micle> #flood"
[05:14] <micle> #flood"
[05:14] <micle> #flood"
[05:14] <NegativeSpace> chuckyp I guess the latest -- I only installed it yesterday.
[05:14] <chombee> chuckyp - or we should, that's where we installed it
[05:14] <Amaranth> micle: Stop or you'll be banned.
[05:14] <LjL> balu: but there are also a ton of visible, not-really-major-but-stil-there differences that are *not* cosmetic. KDE for example is mostly based on "parts", a system of embedding objects/programs into other programs. so in KDE you'll mostly, say, open a PDF inside an existing program (e.g. your file browser) rather than in a separate application
[05:15] <Dr_Willis> Hmm grub whould be on the mbr  of hda, not hda1

[05:15] <Balu1> ljl: thats cool ill read up on them
[05:15] <^Odd^> so is there anyone who is a thinkpad guru in here
[05:16] <Balu1> anyway i can get my wirlessnetwork connection to show up in my systems tray? (kinda like the ethernet conection)
[05:16] <Dr_Willis> Balu1,  i think gnome an dkde both have applets that do that.
[05:16] <gopi> Goldfisch: Are u looking it ?
[05:16] <chuckyp> NegativeSpace, then you have xorg
[05:16] <Goldfisch> gopi: Okay. Took me a second to click in my head. My AMD64 is debian, not ubuntu. I haven't used ubuntu's binary releases of MythTV ever.
[05:16] <Balu1> dr_willis: its through an applet?? so it doesnt come w/ the OS?
[05:17] <LjL> Balu1: anyway, let me put this under another point of view: what are the major average-user-visible differences between the Gnome *or* KDE desktop and the Windows desktop? i'm not sure i could name so many off hand
[05:17] <NegativeSpace> chuckyp Is the configuration file for it, "xorg.conf" ?
[05:17] <LjL> Balu1: and yet i'd hardly call them cosmetical either
[05:17] <gekoo> is there anybody who know something about ndiswrapper for Ubuntu 64 compatibility?
[05:17] <Dr_Willis> Balu1,  'comes with the os' is interesting idea.. if you can just 'apt-get install' the thing. :P id say its trivial to install.
[05:17] <Goldfisch> gopi: I am wondering if you are better off installing SVN, and then picking up their latest "stable" label, and building it yourself. I would have to do a little homework to find the label.
[05:18] <Balu1> ljl: well i know the differences between linux/windows desktops def arent cosmetic ;p
[05:18] <Dr_Willis> Balu1,  fire up synaptic and search for 'wireless' and see whats there
[05:18] <Balu1> dr_willis: haha i have to figure out its name first
[05:18] <gopi> Goldfisch: oh i see .... SVN means ?
[05:18] <Balu1> dr_willis got it, let me go look
[05:18] <chuckyp> NegativeSpace, yes
[05:18] <Balu1> gopi: svn lets other ppl connect to ur comp and edit files etc.
[05:19] <Balu1> gopi: the only thing u cant do undersvn is execute files (i think)
[05:19] <Goldfisch> gopi: SVN is Subversion, a sort-of upgrade to CVS. It's their code repository.
[05:19] <chuckyp> NegativeSpace, /etc/X11/xorg.conf I beleive
[05:19] <NegativeSpace> chuckyp Awesome, cheers. Final question I promise (for now): how can I edit the file from gedit?
[05:19] <LjL> Balu1: well i think the difference between Gnome and KDE are on the same level. i.e. not many "really big" differences that you can point out, but a lot of smaller things anyone who's used both will notice
[05:19] <NegativeSpace> chuckyp Aye, that's the one.
[05:19] <Balu1> LjL: i c.. well i usd to use SuseLinux (which was KDE).. and i seem to like the way ubuntu runs beter.
[05:20] <Balu1> ljl: there are a few cosmetic knicknacks in KDE that i DO miss tho ;p like the sliding in/out taskbar
[05:20] <gopi> Goldfisch: I see ... so can u help me in doing that SVN ?
[05:20] <LjL> Balu1: sure you can't do that in gnome? i thought one could
[05:20] <Goldfisch> gopi: Basically, something like "sudo apt-get install subversion". Then follow the steps at http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Installing_MythTV_SVN_on_Ubuntu_Breezy
[05:20] <Balu1> ljl: hmm i havent really looked yet, i was to busy being dazzled by ubuntu
[05:21] <Goldfisch> gopi: Actually, you may want to read that article before installing anything.
[05:21] <gopi> Goldfisch: ok let me read it
[05:21] <herrpoonstrikes> hi, can anyone point me in the direction of a good hard drive partitioing guide for ubuntu?
[05:21] <Balu1> i dont know why i cant seem to find this, but what is the comment i add to repositories its universe AND multiverse
[05:21] <Frogzoo> !repos
[05:21] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[05:22] <LjL> mgedmin: and yet, it does
[05:22] <eFfeM> hi, got a new PC today. I was using fedora on my prev one, but not too happy about it, so I wanted to give ubuntu a try; don't know exactly what I need though, this is a dual core (D930) system with EMT64, should I go for the x86 variant?
[05:22] <herrpoonstrikes> any ideas?
[05:22] <mgedmin> the wiki could mention that
[05:23] <herrpoonstrikes> right
[05:23] <LjL> mgedmin: the wiki only mentions what people make it to mention ;) feel free to add the mention, that's what wikis are for
[05:23] <Goldfisch> gopi: Meanwhile, I will try to find the label that goes with 0.19 release.
[05:23] <bpuccio> when adding a 2.6.12 kernel, I get an error that "cannot remove `/tmp/mkinitramfs_obMtwq/bin/sh': No such file or directory" and "cpio: ./lib/*: No such file or directory" the computer will not boot this new kernel as a result
[05:23] <Frogzoo> eFfeM: you'll want an SMP kernel
[05:23] <NegativeSpace> How can I edit xorg.conf from gedit?
[05:24] <Frogzoo> NegativeSpace: sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:24] <gopi> Goldfisch: ok
[05:24] <eFfeM> Frogzoo, figured that out, but was mainly puzzled wrt 64 bit
[05:24] <das_cookie> stupid compiz
[05:24] <Frogzoo> eFfeM: best leave 64bit alone if you know what's good for you ... ;)
[05:25] <NegativeSpace> Frogzoo Cheers.
[05:25] <eFfeM> Frogzoo, tnx!
[05:26] <Frogzoo> NegativeSpace: eFfeM enjoy & gl!
[05:26] <thierry> salut
[05:26] <NegativeSpace> Frogzoo The file opens blank, should it?
[05:26] <Frogzoo> NegativeSpace: nope, not if you've installed x
[05:26] <General_Error> i did ctrl alt f1 to get into console, how do i get out of it? lol
[05:27] <gopi> Goldfisch: Actually Currently Iam getting w32 codecs
[05:27] <Goldfisch> gopi: Okay, I updated that article with some info on their SVN trac site about how to get the latest "stable" release.
[05:28] <gopi> Goldfisch: where ?
[05:28] <NegativeSpace> Frogzoo Forgot capital G. D'oh!
[05:28] <NegativeSpace> Frogzoo capitcla x*
[05:28] <mikelo> can i resize ext3 partitions? do i need free space to do that?
[05:28] <NegativeSpace> Frogzoo capital**
[05:29] <mikelo> how do i shring partitions?
[05:29] <mikelo> how do i shrink or enlarge partitions?
[05:29] <Dr_Willis> gparted on a live cd' works for me.
[05:29] <Goldfisch> gopi: The same wiki article I sent you earlier. I updated that wiki article.
[05:30] <Balu1> sure there is a way to do sliding taskbars? :X
[05:30] <CoffeeBreaks> Will there be ubuntu server 6.04? If so, are there test images for it?
[05:30] <MacSlow> Greetings everybody!
[05:30] <Frogzoo> mikelo: run resize2fs 1st, then use gparted to resize partition
[05:30] <gekoo> doea anybody use qemu on 64bit distro?
[05:30] <gekoo> \say how about?
[05:31] <mikelo> Frogzoo, why resize2fs?
[05:31] <gopi> Goldfisch: well i dont know what to do now ........ whether to continue getting w32 codecs or try SVN of what u said
[05:31] <Goldfisch> gopi: I don't know anything about w32 codecs.
[05:32] <Frogzoo> mikelo: the file system sits inside the partition - if you resize the partition without resizing the file system, you'll lose data
[05:32] <mikelo> Frogzoo, do i have to unmount the volumes before resizing?
[05:32] <gopi> Goldfisch: ok.... why Iam getting w32 codecs is because if that helps me resolve video problem in Zapper
[05:32] <Frogzoo> mikelo: yep
[05:32] <mikelo> Frogzoo, what about resizing /?
[05:32] <Frogzoo> mikelo: then you'll need to boot from a live cd
[05:33] <mikelo> shit
[05:33] <gopi> Goldfisch: I am getting audio but no video in both Zapper Tv viewer and TVtime Television viewer !
[05:33] <mikelo> ok
[05:33] <mikelo> will dsl do the job, Frogzoo ?
[05:34] <] BreliC[> anyone here using a hauppauge wintv pvr150?
[05:34] <Frogzoo> mikelo: huh? how's dsl relevant?
[05:34] <] BreliC[> everything is fine except for the tuner model which comes up as unknown
[05:34] <chmod775> hey folks when is ubuntu drapper releasing
[05:34] <chmod775> ?
[05:34] <Frogzoo> !dapper
[05:34] <ubotu> The pre-release name for next release of Ubuntu, actual name 6.04. Due 20th April. It is Development Software as such it _May_Break_! > /join #ubuntu+1 < Channel for IRC - Use http://tinyurl.com/rtgxo easy update
[05:34] <mikelo> damn small linux?
[05:34] <fami> 10
[05:34] <] BreliC[> i can view TV with VLC, but only one channel (ivtv-tune lets me change channels, but it doesn't seem to do anything)
[05:35] <mikelo> Frogzoo, instead of ubuntu live cd?
[05:35] <flodine> my dappers is running like a champ
[05:35] <Goldfisch> gopi: One cannot serve two masters. :)  Well, that is about as far as I can go right now. The choice is yours. Good luck.
[05:35] <chuckyp> flodine, same here
[05:35] <chmod775> flodine, wow
[05:35] <flodine> i love it
[05:35] <chuckyp> flodine, like the speed increase in gnome
[05:35] <chmod775> does it have gnome 2.14
[05:35] <flodine> dapper with pekwm
[05:35] <flodine> hauling ass
[05:36] <chmod775> ?
[05:36] <chuckyp> chmod775, it has release canidate of 2.14 because 2.14 is not out yet.
[05:36] <chmod775> ok
[05:36] <chmod775> so is it safe to update to ubuntu drapper
[05:36] <chmod775> ?
[05:36] <ron_> how can i move files to my fake winblows drive in wine?
[05:36] <Frogzoo> chmod775: it's not even 'safe' to run dapper
[05:37] <chmod775> k
[05:37] <gopi> Goldfisch: sorry was away... ok :)
[05:37] <Goldfisch> chmod775: They don't call it "unstable" for nothing. In April, when they release it as "stable", it will be "safe".
[05:37] <chmod775> ok
[05:37] <Xeonwales> afternoon
[05:37] <chmod775> Goldfisch, so I will able to apt-get dist upgrade right ?
[05:37] <MisterN> even grub does not work 100% reliably as of now
[05:37] <Frogzoo> chmod775: sure
[05:38] <Goldfisch> chmo775: That is the way.
[05:38] <chmod775> cool.
[05:38] <pagefault> it's good enough for me :)
[05:38] <Xeonwales> i need help with wireless on ubuntu 5.10 on a laptop. can anyone help??
[05:38] <Frogzoo> chmod775: the servers are gonna hurt bad the first few days o_O
[05:38] <chmod775> HUh?
[05:38] <Goldfisch> I know someone that went ahead and upgraded to dapper so he could get XGL. He just loved spinning the cubed window manager!
[05:38] <bjornkri> hey hey
[05:38] <chmod775> Oh ok u mean the traffic
[05:38] <chmod775> ?
[05:38] <mgedmin> Xenguy: what sort of help do you need, and what wireless card do you have?
[05:39] <mgedmin> Xeonwales: what sort of help do you need, and what wireless card do you have?
[05:39] <Xeonwales> Acer Aspire laptop with Intel pro 2200
[05:39] <Goldfisch> !wiki Xgl
[05:39] <chmod775> so does drapper support Xgl
[05:39] <chmod775> !xgl
[05:39] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/XglHowto - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems. It works ONLY on dapper. Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/
[05:39] <Xeonwales> Ubu
[05:39] <NegativeSpace> How can I restart the XFree server?
[05:39] <Xeonwales> ubuntu finds it, but wont connect to router
[05:40] <Goldfisch> Anybody here using ircssi?
[05:40] <bjornkri> I've got some questions about crontab... does 'root' have a special crontab file somewhere? I want to run, say, updatedb every once in a while but I'm not sure how to add it...
[05:40] <Frogzoo> Xeonwales: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart - or logout & ctrl alt backspace
[05:40] <mgedmin> bjornkri: look at /etc/cron.d
[05:40] <gnomefreak> Goldfisch: you mean irssi?
[05:40] <Goldfisch> Yeah.
[05:40] <gnomefreak> yes i am
[05:40] <Ng> bjornkri: also look at /etc/cron.daily/slocate ;)
[05:41] <Xeonwales> uumm... come again. im rather new to linux (using linspire @ the mo)
[05:41] <mgedmin> bjornkri: updatedb runs automatically every night without any special configuration
[05:41] <mustard5> gopi: I've started experimenting with the command line recording tool :)
[05:41] <Goldfisch> gnomefreak: How do I jump to my other "tabs". Ubotu just sent me a message, but I don't know how to flip to it.
[05:41] <bjornkri> thanks guys :)
[05:41] <gnomefreak> Goldfisch: ctrl+n
[05:41] <Ng> Goldfisch: alt and the number, or "/window N" where N is a number
[05:41] <gopi> mustard5: ok gl :)
[05:41] <jaygeek_> Goldfisch: Ctrl + N (next) or +p (previous)
[05:41] <newtoubuntu> Hi, I'm having some troble with my wlan set up
[05:42] <Goldfisch> Okay. :)
[05:42] <NegativeSpace> How can I restart the X server?
[05:42] <chombee> Breezy dual boot install - when you choose the default dual boot option, the next thing it asks is how big the partition should, min.size 10Gb, is it referring to the resized Windows partition or the new Ubuntu partition?
[05:42] <chmod775> newtoubuntu, ok
[05:42] <newtoubuntu> So, Everything apears to be in working order, ndiswraper is working
[05:42] <chmod775> what probelms
[05:42] <gnomefreak> Goldfisch: /wc in the window you want to close will close it :)
[05:43] <Goldfisch> gnomefreak: You read my mind!
[05:43] <Ng> NegativeSpace: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart   in a terminal, or log out and hit ctrl-alt-backspace
[05:43] <gnomefreak> NegativeSpace: ctrl+alt+backspace is the dirty way but it works
[05:43] <Goldfisch> gnomefreak: To minimize traffic on this channel, where is the help for these keyboard commands hidden? I didn't find any in the man page.
[05:43] <NegativeSpace> Ng, gnomefreak Okay, thanks.
[05:43] <newtoubuntu> And whitin "networking" it says that the card is set up
[05:44] <gnomefreak> Goldfisch: you can see if irssi.org has them
[05:44] <gnomefreak> NegativeSpace: someone taught me and some i learned but messing up :)
[05:44] <gnomefreak> by*
[05:44] <Ng> Goldfisch: irssi isn't especially well documented. try googling for guides/howtos on it too :)
[05:45] <Ng> and there's /help
[05:45] <Siddhartha211> yo
[05:45] <Siddhartha211> anyone there
[05:45] <Siddhartha211> i tried livecd
[05:45] <matthew_w> Hey, has anyone heard that there is a new platform emulator that will more seamlessly emulate Windows, Mac, etc. than Qemu currently does?  I had heard something about this on SlashDot, and was wondering if this is valid, if it will be coming to Ubuntu, or if it already has, and failing that, what it's called and where I could get it.
[05:45] <Siddhartha211> out
[05:45] <Siddhartha211> but how do i access files from windows
[05:45] <Xeonwales> so i logout, the type that & my wireless should work??
[05:45] <Goldfisch> Naw. Help only gives me irc command stuff. To make this proper, I am searching via lynx! I am the "Terminalator!"
[05:46] <mgedmin> Xeonwales: no
[05:46] <gnomefreak> Goldfisch: links2 is also a very good text/gui browser :)
[05:46] <newtoubuntu> but, is their a So does anybody have any ideas as to why my wlan looks like it should work but doesn't?
[05:46] <Siddhartha211> anyone...
[05:46] <matthew_w> Siddhartha211;  Open a terminal.  Type   "  mkdir /windows  "    then   "    sudo mount /dev/hda1 /windows     "        without quotes.
[05:46] <Frogzoo> matthew_w: probly the new cpu hardware - amd's pacifica, intel has something similiar - it will allow qemu, vmware etc to run vms at usual cpu speed, without any emulation layer
[05:46] <Siddhartha211> wait
[05:46] <Siddhartha211> but im on windows rite now
[05:46] <mgedmin> Xeonwales: restaring gdm won't help with wireless
[05:47] <Siddhartha211> i cant use AOL from linux
[05:47] <Siddhartha211> can i use the WINE program with AOl
[05:47] <mustard5> gopi: woot!  I have success via the command line :)
[05:47] <mgedmin> Xeonwales: does your wireless access require a password?
[05:47] <matthew_w> Frogzoo; any other further developments in the DirectX emulation front on Linux? :(
[05:47] <newtoubuntu> Mine does (require a password)
[05:47] <matthew_w> Siddhartha211; I suppose you could, although I don't know why you would.
[05:47] <mustard5> gopi: this got me a recording ..  lavrec  -g 384x288+0+0 --software-encoding test.avi
[05:48] <Siddhartha211> because i need to connect
[05:48] <Siddhartha211> to the internet
[05:48] <Siddhartha211> so the only way to do that from linux
[05:48] <bjornkri> what's the difference between a symbolic and hard link?
[05:48] <mustard5> gopi: my audio levels were to low though..so not quite perfect yet :)
[05:48] <Siddhartha211> is to get AOL onto linux
[05:48] <matthew_w> Siddhartha; is it dial up, or PPPoE?
[05:48] <Siddhartha211> dialup
[05:48] <matthew_w> Siddhartha211; Just get a dialup program designed for linux from Synaptic.       I'm not sure what one would be, ask someone :)
[05:49] <General_Error> Whats a decent media player like Winamp for ubuntu?
[05:49] <Siddhartha211> but then how would i use it for AOL
[05:49] <matthew_w> Siddhartha211; and then put in your AOL name, pass, etc. etc.
[05:49] <gnomefreak> xmms General_Error
[05:49] <Siddhartha211> okay
[05:49] <Frogzoo> General_Error: amarok
[05:49] <matthew_w> General_Error; xmms, Beep Media Player, amarok,.
[05:49] <Siddhartha211> but i dont think AOL allows external dialing...it has to be in the program
[05:49] <General_Error> ok ty
[05:49] <matthew_w> Siddhartha211; not entirely sure, don't use it myself :(
[05:49] <mrnicksgirl> any ideas on where to start on getting a wireless usb network card to work?
[05:49] <LinuxJones> bjornkri, softlinks can be used to point to other items on different filesystems
[05:49] <Goldfisch> bjornkri: Symbolic link points you at another file. Hard link must be on the same filesystem, and is another pointer to the disk space holding the file. Only when all hard links are deleted, will the disk space be actually freed up and deleted.
[05:49] <Siddhartha211> matthew_w, so where do i get this dialup program
[05:49] <matthew_w> Are there any really good epic MMORPG's supported on Ubuntu without painstaking labor?
[05:50] <flodine> dapper getting release later now
[05:50] <newtoubuntu> xmms realy isn't very good it's based on the winamp 2.x engine which isn't very good compaired to 5.x
[05:50] <matthew_w> Siddhartha211; if you're on liveCD it should be there already.  Not too sure about it, because I almost never use it.
[05:50] <Siddhartha211> and what is the name of it
[05:50] <gnomefreak> flodine: not sure yet
[05:50] <Siddhartha211> the program
[05:50] <PhysicsGeek> how do i partitiion my computer once ive already installe ubuntu?
[05:50] <bjornkri> hmm.. think I just barely grasped the concept, thanks  :)
[05:50] <matthew_w> newtoubuntu; true.  Beep Media Player is more like the new winamp.
[05:50] <gnomefreak> flodine: also dapper talk #ubuntu+1
[05:50] <Siddhartha211> matthew_w, what is the name of the program
[05:51] <matthew_w> Siddhartha211; again, not sure.  Because I've never had to use it.
[05:51] <Siddhartha211> okay
[05:51] <newtoubuntu> matthew: realy, I'll try that one out
[05:51] <Siddhartha211> now about using windows files on linux
[05:51] <mgedmin> Xeonwales: I think it should just work... try sudo ifup eth1 in a terminal, or bringing it up in the network connection manager
[05:51] <Siddhartha211> how do i open up a terminal
[05:51] <matthew_w> Siddhartha211; try opening a terminal and doing "sudo network-admin"
[05:51] <matthew_w> Siddhartha211;  should be    ubuntu bar -- accessories -- terminal.
[05:51] <Siddhartha211> and then i type in what you just wrote
[05:51] <matthew_w> Yeah
[05:51] <Siddhartha211> and then what should happen
[05:52] <PhysicsGeek> hello
[05:52] <Goldfisch> bjornkri: Softlinks can mistakenly point at nothing, and of course not work. Hard links must point at something real or they don't exist.
[05:52] <matthew_w> It will ask for a password, maybe.  Someone here should know the password on the liveCD.
[05:52] <matthew_w> I'll be right back.
[05:52] <mustard5> gopi:  I feel like an expert now on command line recording of .avi from xawtv :P
[05:52] <PhysicsGeek> i'm a n00b in need of help
[05:52] <mustard5> gopi: the lavrec command is a winner :)
[05:52] <gopi> mustard5: how to type that ?
[05:52] <funkyHat> PhysicsGeek,
[05:52] <funkyHat> !ask
[05:52] <newtoubuntu> Does beep media have winamp TV
[05:52] <funkyHat> gah
[05:52] <funkyHat> ubotu, tell PhysicsGeek about ask
[05:53] <PhysicsGeek> how do i partitiion my comptuer once ive already setup ubuntu?
[05:53] <bjornkri> So if I point at a file that is then deleted, a softlink will remain, but the hardlink won't?
[05:53] <gopi> mustard5: i dont have a command prompt to type that lavrec :(
[05:53] <mustard5> gopi: lavrec -l 100 -g 384x288+0+0 --software-encoding test.avi
[05:53] <funkyHat> Sorry, too late for it to tell you that.. hehe
[05:53] <funkyHat> PhysicsGeek, install gparted
[05:53] <bjornkri> Or even prevents the file from getting deleted?
[05:53] <mustard5> gopi: I open a terminal...I downloaded and installed mjpegtools
[05:53] <mustard5> gopi: its in the repositories
[05:53] <gopi> mustard5: oh i see... then ?
[05:53] <caglar> hello, everytime I start my gnomepanel, it crashes, I think its because of a plugin. Where can I remove the plugins (using config file)
[05:53] <newtoubuntu> So will anyone help me with my wlan problem
[05:54] <matthew_w> Back.
[05:54] <mustard5> gopi: well I have xawtv running...and then I do that in terminal and it just starts recording
[05:54] <funkyHat> PhysicsGeek, I hope you don't want to change the size of partitions that ubuntu is using or something like that...
[05:54] <grajkoo> easy qestion: i have stopped process usingd ctr-c, how to restore it?
[05:54] <mustard5> gopi: you would have to read the manual to get the whole idea I think
[05:54] <matthew_w> So yeah, any good MMORPGs on Ubuntu, really?  I am using GraalOnline but I grow bored.  haha.
[05:54] <caglar> grajkoo you cant do that
[05:54] <caglar> you killed the process
[05:54] <PhysicsGeek> no... I just want to run some windows apps and I know i need to partiition to do that
[05:54] <caglar> hello, everytime I start my gnomepanel, it crashes, I think its because of a plugin. Where can I remove the plugins (using config file)?
[05:54] <LinuxJones> newtoubuntu, you wireless card is not working ?
[05:54] <grajkoo> noo im stopped - thereis on ps aux list
[05:54] <HymnToLife> PhysicsGeek> which apps ?you could use WINE
[05:55] <mustard5> gopi: the -l option is volume level, the -g option is the size in multiples of sixteen and the filename extension tells lavrec what format you want it in
[05:55] <rash> hi i have a problem with a wireless card
[05:55] <gopi> mustard5: mjpegtools is a must to get ?
[05:55] <newtoubuntu> linux Jones: yea, but it looks like it should
[05:55] <PhysicsGeek> eh... im having spotted success at best
[05:55] <matthew_w> PhysicsGeek; errr... Where are the windows files located?
[05:55] <mustard5> gopi: well I'm having more success with that than trying to get the functions in xawtv to work :)
[05:55] <newtoubuntu> Under network, it says that it's activated
[05:55] <newtoubuntu> (wlan0)
[05:55] <mustard5> gopi: lavrec comes with a timer setting too so you can set how long to record for
[05:55] <grajkoo> cagar:  noo im stopped - thereis on ps aux list
[05:56] <PhysicsGeek> there are none... i completly redid my comptuer as linux
[05:56] <mustard5> gopi: another reason for me to love the command line :)
[05:56] <mustard5> gopi: I reckon I could write a script to do it for me
[05:56] <hollandlucas> hey! Will it be easy to upgrade to Dapper once it is available?
[05:56] <gopi> mustard5: i should get mjpegtools ?
[05:56] <LinuxJones> newtoubuntu, yyour wireless router is setup to give ip addresses via dhcp probably. run the networking tool (network-admin) and check the settings.
[05:56] <mustard5> gopi: yeah install mjpegtools
[05:57] <newtoubuntu> where is network-admin
[05:57] <newtoubuntu> Oh yea, I did that
[05:57] <matthew_w> PhysicsGeek; Uh, then I don't really understand your question, why would you partition your hard drive?
[05:57] <LinuxJones> newtoubuntu, sudo network-admin in terminal (enter your user password)
[05:57] <Goldfisch> bjornkri: Every real file you have IS a hardlink, because it points at something on the disk. Creating a hard link is like creating a second file, only it points at the same disk space as the first file did. If you delete the original file, the second hard link will still work, because you haven't yet deleted ALL links to that diskspace. So the hard link will still work. That is why the UNIX command "unlink" is synonmous with "rm". H
[05:57] <gopi> mustard5: and then how u start xawtv ?
[05:57] <Siddhartha211> matthew_w, u still there
[05:57] <matthew_w> Siddhartha211; kinda.
[05:57] <mustard5> gopi: well I have it in my menus under Sound and Video
[05:57] <gopi> mustard5: in command prompt just u type xawtv ?
[05:58] <Siddhartha211> so what is the password
[05:58] <Siddhartha211> thing i need
[05:58] <mustard5> gopi: you can do that yep
[05:58] <matthew_w> Siddhartha211; I have no idea what the password is on the liveCD.
[05:58] <PhysicsGeek> i was under the impression that i had to to run windows apps b/c i cant get WINE to work
[05:58] <mustard5> gopi: you would need another terminal window to start the lavrec command then though
[05:58] <gopi> mustard5: ok.... and does lavrec comes with mjpegtools ?
[05:58] <mustard5> gopi: yep
[05:58] <Xeonwales> newtoubuntu - try www.linspire.com. Found my wireless card no probs. Ubuntu dont seem to be that advanced yet
[05:58] <Siddhartha211> can i dual boot with Windows and an INSTALLED version of ubuntu
[05:58] <gopi> mustard5: ok !!
[05:58] <General_Error> Does anyone know whats wrong? I have an external hdd, i try and play a mp3 in amorak and it says "cannot play file..."
[05:59] <newtoubuntu> linspire, OK sounds good
[05:59] <matthew_w> PhysicsGeek; what they mean is installing two operating systems at once and running windows.
[05:59] <Xeonwales> im using it now
[05:59] <bjornkri> Goldfisch, aaah, ok. So I might think of it being a copy of the file, only it takes up exactly the same spot as the original?
[05:59] <matthew_w> Siddhartha211; Yes, but it involves eliminating all of the contents of your hard drive, at present.
[05:59] <caglar> hello, everytime I start my gnomepanel, it crashes, I think its because of a plugin. Where can I remove the plugins (using config file)?
[05:59] <matthew_w> :(
[05:59] <LinuxJones> Xeonwales, that's not a cool thing to say in a Ubuntu irc channel
[05:59] <grajkoo> General_Error: are U mounted this dhdd?
[05:59] <PhysicsGeek> yeah, I'm pretty sure that's what I need, matthew_w
[05:59] <Goldfisch> bjornkri: Exactly.
[05:59] <Siddhartha211> i cant do it without formatting
[05:59] <caglar> where do I delete gnome-panel plugins?
[05:59] <General_Error> well it shows up on my desktop
[05:59] <bjornkri> Goldfisch, brilliant... thanks :)
[05:59] <caglar> from the panel
[05:59] <matthew_w> PhysicsGeek; What windows programs are you looking for specifically?
[05:59] <Xeonwales> sorry linuxjones, just trying to help the guy
[05:59] <Siddhartha211> because it says on livecd
[05:59] <mustard5> gopi: it took me a while to work out the command existed...I was typing in man mjpegtools and getting nothing..then I read it in the description of the package in synaptic
[05:59] <Siddhartha211> that there is an advanced setup
[05:59] <PhysicsGeek> games primarily
[05:59] <caglar> how do I remove addons of the gnomepanel? (using configuration files)
[05:59] <Siddhartha211> that doesnt erase your files
[06:00] <Siddhartha211> like HALO PC: COmbat Evolved
[06:00] <V4Vendetta> whats the package name of the java that comes with ubuntu ?
[06:00] <LinuxJones> Xeonwales, you offer help by trying to solve his problem not recommend another distro
[06:00] <mikelo> is there any way to access my pc's restricted space where the xp backup lies? (i'm using an x40 ibm laptop)
[06:00] <LinuxJones> newtoubuntu, so how are your settings looking ok ?
[06:00] <matthew_w> PhysicsGeek; yeah, you and me both ^_^.  I fear you may have to format the whole thing to put them both on.  As far as I know anyway, someone else probably knows better.
[06:00] <PhysicsGeek> matthew_w; thanks for the help
[06:01] <newtoubuntu> It says that the card is active, but it's not connecting to the ined
[06:01] <newtoubuntu> internet
[06:01] <Goldfisch> V4Vendetta: There are multiple javas, such as blackdown. In my opinion, I still go with SUN's version, which unfortunately due to their licensing restrictions, can't be released with the base install of Ubuntu. But, it's not that hard to install.
[06:01] <Siddhartha211> so i cant install ubuntu without formatting
[06:01] <V4Vendetta> Goldfisch, i did install it, but when i do java -version it's still the gnu one.
[06:01] <matthew_w> Siddhartha211; usually.
[06:02] <matthew_w> PhysicsGeek; no prob :)
[06:02] <Goldfisch> V4Vendetta: The GNU version is ahead of it in your PATH. Personally, I would remove the GNU one, and then check it out. Did you install under something like /usr/local/java?
[06:02] <LjL> V4Vendetta: sudo updates-alternatives --config java
[06:02] <V4Vendetta> Goldfisch, how do i remove the gnu one?
[06:02] <V4Vendetta> LjL, okay thanks
[06:02] <Siddhartha211> matthew_w; so what is the way to do it without formatting...u no?
[06:02] <Raovq> "kdelibs-bin:
[06:02] <Raovq>  Depends: kdelibs4c2 but it is not going to be installed
[06:02] <Raovq>  Depends: libqt3-mt (>=3:3.3.4) but it is not installable"
[06:02] <LjL> V4Vendetta: update-alternatives, actualy
[06:02] <newtoubuntu> My netowk is password protected, is that a problem
[06:02] <Raovq> can anyone make heads or tails of that
[06:02] <LinuxJones> newtoubuntu, in terminal type ifconfig -a
[06:03] <General_Error> grajkoo, well it shows up on my desktop
[06:03] <Goldfisch> V4Vendetta: To remove a package, sudo dpkg -P <packagename> (-P purges any configuration files.)
[06:03] <V4Vendetta> java version "1.5.0_06"
[06:03] <V4Vendetta> Goldfisch, i got it, thanks so much, LjL: thank you also
[06:03] <LjL> Goldfisch: why not apt-get [--purge]  remove?
[06:03] <LinuxJones> newtoubuntu, do you see your wireless card listed ?
[06:03] <gnomefreak> Raovq: yes also please paste in pastebin not in here
[06:03] <Siddhartha211> dang it...i hate linux...its faster...but its slower because i have to use it from cd
[06:03] <newtoubuntu> ok, that's alot of info
[06:03] <Siddhartha211> because i need windows and i need my windows files
[06:03] <mustard5> gopi: I also had to unmute the line in recording in my master volume control to record from line in
[06:03] <gnomefreak> Raovq: paste your /etc/apt/sources.list to pastebin please
[06:03] <SpookyET> hi
[06:03] <matthew_w> Siddhartha211; I'm not entirely sure there is one.  Because you would need a separate partition for it.  3 separate partitions as a matter of fact.  well 2.   But anyway, Windows is not a friendly system when you try installing others.  You usually have to primarily install the other then just add windows as a secondary.  Although, I STRONGLY reccomend against putting windows and linux on one hard drive.
[06:04] <LinuxJones> Siddhartha211, install it to your hard drive :)
[06:04] <newtoubuntu> yea I do
[06:04] <Goldfisch> LjL: You say toe-mae-toe, I say tah-mah-to...
[06:04] <SpookyET> Can anyone tell me where nautilus mounts samba shares?
[06:04] <Tomcat_> SpookyET: It doesn't really mount them.
[06:04] <V4Vendetta> Goldfisch, the problem with the gnu java is that azureus always runs poorly with it
[06:04] <newtoubuntu> but all the packets are at zero
[06:04] <SpookyET> also, i did apt-get install beagle, but there is no entry for it in applications menu
[06:04] <Xeonwales> newtolinux you got intel wireless by anychance?
[06:04] <shiznatix> Hello, I was wondering if anyone could help me get a partition to be recoginzed by ubuntu. I have read all of the documentation online and it does not work.
[06:04] <Siddhartha211> LinuxJones; i have windows installed too and i want to keep windows and windows files
[06:04] <Raovq> gnomefreak: pastebin?
[06:04] <gnomefreak> SpookyET: did you restart the menu
[06:04] <linkd> Siddhartha211: you can perform dual boots fine.
[06:04] <noteventime> Could someone please help me, I chmod a=rwx /* -R -v but i ment to chmod a=rwx ./* -R -v
[06:04] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell Raovq about pastebin
[06:05] <chuckyp> SpookyET, nautilus doesn't mount samba shares
[06:05] <newtoubuntu> naw brodocom
[06:05] <SpookyET> Tomcat_: how do i access them in file open dialogs that don't show the samba shares
[06:05] <linkd> Siddhartha211: ive just joined the conversation, are you trying to dual boot?
[06:05] <Siddhartha211> linkd; how do i do a dual boot without erasing windows and all files
[06:05] <noteventime> Is there anything i can do?
[06:05] <Siddhartha211> yes i am
[06:05] <SpookyET> some show some dont
[06:05] <Goldfisch> When it comes to java, I go to the people who built it in the first place. I use it at work all the time with no problem. Matter of experience.
[06:05] <Siddhartha211> linkd; i am
[06:05] <LinuxJones> newtoubuntu, look to see if your wireless card has an ip address will look like this >> inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS>
[06:05] <Tomcat_> SpookyET: The only way is to mount them manually.
[06:05] <SpookyET> gnomefreak: how do you restart the menu?
[06:05] <LinuxJones> newtoubuntu, what kind of broadcom card ?
[06:05] <chuckyp> noteventime, did you do that as sudo?
[06:05] <linkd> Siddhartha211: first, do you have any spare partitions?
[06:05] <newtoubuntu> no it doesn't
[06:05] <gnomefreak> SpookyET: in terminal type killall gnome-panel
[06:06] <Siddhartha211> linkd: not sure...how do i check
[06:06] <newtoubuntu> I have the driver working on ndiswrapper though
[06:06] <chuckyp> SpookyET, sudo killall gnome-panel
[06:06] <noteventime> chuckyp: yes :
[06:06] <noteventime> S
[06:06] <gnomefreak> dont need sudo
[06:06] <h1dd3nh4xx0r> Hey guys. I need a good GUI based FTP client for Ubuntu. Any suggestions?
[06:06] <mustard5> noteventime: sounds pretty fatal
[06:06] <linkd> Siddhartha211: ok, i *think* its start > programs >accessories > computer management
[06:06] <noteventime> I know
[06:06] <chuckyp> noteventime, oh christ.  So you changed everything in root to read write and execute.
[06:06] <V4Vendetta> h1dd3nh4xx0r, gftp
[06:06] <noteventime> I forgot the .
[06:06] <h1dd3nh4xx0r> Thx, I'll give it a try
[06:06] <noteventime> chckup: no
[06:06] <Siddhartha211> nope
[06:06] <Goldfisch> noteventime: Fatal is not exactly the word. How about "permanently opened up wide"?
[06:06] <Siddhartha211> that doesnt exist
[06:06] <mikelo> h1dd3nh4xx0r, lftp is not GUI but it's terminal like
[06:06] <bet0x> Hello, any can help me with pptp under Ubuntu x64 ?
[06:06] <noteventime> chckup: I noticed and caceled
[06:07] <newtoubuntu> it's um (it came in the computer) brodocom 4602
[06:07] <linkd> Siddhartha211: alternately you can go to control panel > admin tools > computer management
[06:07] <SpookyET> i still don't see beagle
[06:07] <SpookyET> but it's installed
[06:07] <noteventime> chckup: but etc and parts of usr
[06:07] <gnomefreak> mikelo: gftp is graphical
[06:07] <chuckyp> noteventime, so you changed a majority of stuff.
[06:07] <LinuxJones> newtoubuntu, you have your router setup for wireless connectivity ?
[06:07] <chuckyp> hrmmm....
[06:07] <mikelo> ok
[06:07] <bet0x> i have a Public IP via VPN, with uer y password, using PAP without crypt, how i can set up the connection?
[06:07] <newtoubuntu> yes it worked when I used windows
[06:07] <Siddhartha211> linkd: then what, im there
[06:07] <chuckyp> noteventime, fixing that is beyond me maybe gnomefreak knows.
[06:07] <SpookyET> how do you mount a samba share?
[06:07] <noteventime> chuckyp:  hehe
[06:07] <mustard5> gopi: you having any success with that?
[06:07] <Goldfisch> chuckyp: Would re-installing ubuntu's base packages cause permission bits to be reset? It's a longshot.
[06:07] <noteventime> chuckyp:  Well, format it is then
[06:07] <gnomefreak> chuckyp: what do i know?
[06:08] <Raovq> gnomefreak: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10004
[06:08] <bet0x> i got PAP authentication succeeded, but in a few seconds the connection its terminated, and i dont got my IP of VPN, how i set up that?
[06:08] <linkd> Siddhartha211: ok on the disk management window you should seem all ur drives and ur partition layout
[06:08] <chuckyp> noteventime, ask gnomefreak
[06:08] <noteventime> ?
[06:08] <linkd> Siddhartha211: are there any that are unallocated or unused?
[06:08] <gnomefreak> give me 2 mins before you ask me please
[06:08] <chuckyp> gnomefreak, he did chmod a=rwx /* -R -v and cancelled it part of the way through.
[06:08] <linkd> Siddhartha211: if you have another "drive" other than C:\ that you want to use for linux, you can do that.
[06:08] <noteventime> gnomefreak: Do you have any idea?
[06:09] <Siddhartha211> linkd: i dontsee that, i see system tools settings
[06:09] <gnomefreak> Raovq: type uname -r in terminal and tell me what it says please
[06:09] <Siddhartha211> and all that
[06:09] <noteventime> gnomefreak: /etc/ got 0770 in an hmm. accident
[06:09] <balu1> can someone explain to me how id access a network printer (it is on a windows computer)
[06:09] <V4Vendetta> LjL, how do i remove these java's ? 1        /usr/bin/gij-wrapper-4.0
[06:09] <V4Vendetta>  +    2        /usr/lib/jvm/java-gcj/bin/java
[06:09] <LinuxJones> newtoubuntu, do lspci and find out what make/model chip your wireless card has
[06:09] <newtoubuntu> Is there a GUI front end that mimics the windows wireless acess system
[06:09] <chuckyp> noteventime, hold up a second he'll take a look in a moment.  this channel is extremely busy
[06:09] <linkd> Siddhartha211: hmmz, then ur probably in the wrong place, what version of windows are you using|?
[06:09] <LjL> V4Vendetta: sudo aptitude remove gij
[06:09] <Siddhartha211> lind: i found it
[06:09] <Siddhartha211> im using windows XP
[06:09] <linkd> groovy
[06:10] <gnomefreak> noteventime: have you tried just chmod ing it back to normal than re cnmod it?
[06:10] <LjL> V4Vendetta: you probably want to sudo aptitude remove gcj as well
[06:10] <noteventime> gnome:
[06:10] <Goldfisch> newtoubuntu: sudo apt-get install network-manager
[06:10] <Raovq> gnomefreak: 2.6.12-9-386
[06:10] <bet0x> any can help me , i need how i configure a VPN with pptp
[06:10] <linkd> Siddhartha211: so do u have a spare partition u could use?
[06:10] <Siddhartha211> i have one fat, one fat32, and one nft
[06:10] <noteventime> gnomefreak: I dont know what normal is
[06:10] <Siddhartha211> partition
[06:10] <SpookyET> how do you tell smbclient to mount a smb dir?
[06:10] <Siddhartha211> one is 87 percent free, another 11, another 62
[06:10] <Siddhartha211> can i use any of thse
[06:10] <linkd> Siddhartha211: and they are harddrives? (not removable or anything)
[06:10] <LjL> SpookyET: you don't. that's the job of mount, not smbclient
[06:10] <chuckyp> gnomefreak, he chmod'd al lfiles in /usr and some other directory before he caught it.
[06:11] <V4Vendetta> LjL, thanks
[06:11] <rash> make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[06:11] <linkd> Siddhartha211: only a harddrive will work.
[06:11] <rash>       <-- Can someone help me?
[06:11] <LjL> SpookyET: "sudo mount -t cifs //server/blah /mount/dir -o username=blah"
[06:11] <gnomefreak> Raovq: change the word hoary to breezy all of them in the /etc/apt/sources.list save than close  than interminal type sudo apt-get update and than sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:11] <Siddhartha211> they are all harddirves i believe
[06:11] <Siddhartha211> yes
[06:11] <balu1> is there a way to get my wireless to show up in the system tray? i have tried searching for applets, but no luck
[06:11] <noteventime> gnomefreak: Not all in usr, just some
[06:11] <linkd> Siddhartha211: how big are they?
[06:11] <noteventime> gnomefreak: The problem is all in etc
[06:11] <gnomefreak> noteventime: do you knwo the file names?
[06:11] <Siddhartha211> because it says C: 63 mb, 2.85 gb, and 71.59 GB
[06:11] <ron_> is there any way to browse c drive that wine made?
[06:11] <Raovq> gnomefreak: thanks, ill do that
[06:11] <linkd> Siddhartha211: and which one is the one you want to keep?
[06:11] <Siddhartha211> those are the three partitions
[06:11] <gnomefreak> Raovq: yw
[06:11] <newtoubuntu> I have a BCM4306
[06:11] <LjL> ron_: it's in /home/yourhome/.wine
[06:12] <Goldfisch> balu1: I use network-manager. It creates "bars" like your cell phone, and also tried to maintain Internet connectivity all the time.
[06:12] <noteventime> gnomefreak: no
[06:12] <ron_> ty
[06:12] <gnomefreak> noteventime:  :(
[06:12] <Goldfisch> s/tried/tries/
[06:12] <Siddhartha211> i dont know, i just need to keep Windows XP install with ALLL of my files
[06:12] <noteventime> gnomefreak: all in etc :D
[06:12] <balu1> goldfisch: perhaps that what im looking for.. where can i get that
[06:12] <Goldfisch> balu1: sudo apt-get install network-manager
[06:12] <Siddhartha211> so how do i know which one contains my files and windows
[06:12] <Goldfisch> !network-manager
[06:12] <ubotu> well, network-manager is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkmanagerHowto
[06:12] <linkd> Siddhartha211: well C: you have to have with windows
[06:13] <noteventime> gnomefreak: It's not fatal, I have no problem formating, Just that i was planning to do that when dapper was released
[06:13] <balu1> goldfisch:  also, do u have any idea how i can print on a network printer that is installed to a windows XP comp
[06:13] <SpAwNkiLLeR> ok so linux isnt letting me download limewire
[06:13] <bet0x> any can help me with a vpn
[06:13] <Siddhartha211> lind: what do you mean
[06:13] <linkd> Siddhartha211: but the other ones, if you goto my computer, and open the partitions in that you can view what files are on the other partitions, check that you dont need those
[06:13] <gnomefreak> noteventime: i have never chmoded more than a file or two at a time i would do it file by file (note- dapper may be held back)
[06:13] <Goldfisch> balu1: Samba is the only thing I know that allows interoperability between Windows and non-windows printer systems.
[06:13] <Rashvile> why my ubuntu doesn't install rt2570 driver
[06:13] <Siddhartha211> i go to my computer there is only a C: drive
[06:13] <linkd> Siddhartha211: well windows requires that its installed on a drive called "C:" so you have to keep that if you want to keep windows
[06:13] <atoponce> anyone good a regex?
[06:13] <LjL> !tell SpAwNkiLLeR about limewire
[06:13] <Siddhartha211> but all three partitions
[06:14] <noteventime> chuckyp, gnomefreak:  Well, thanks for the help anyway
[06:14] <gnomefreak> !regex
[06:14] <ubotu> gnomefreak: I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[06:14] <Siddhartha211> are located on the C: drive
[06:14] <chuckyp> noteventime, np.
[06:14] <atoponce> a friend asked: if you have two regular expressions and want to know if the interesection is not empty, what do you do?
[06:14] <linkd> Siddhartha211: that doesnt sound drive, can u take a screen shot and post it somewhere so i can see what ur looking at?
[06:14] <linkd> *that doesnt sound right
[06:14] <gnomefreak> noteventime: sorry couldnt help more
[06:14] <shiznatix> Howdy! I have a partition that I share between windows and linux so I can have a common base for my files. I had it working while running Fedora but I don't know how that was done. So basically I need to get this drive to be accessable from ubuntu. How do I do this?
[06:15] <LjL> !tell shiznatix about mountwindows
[06:15] <Siddhartha211> linkd: wow how coincidental, that was exactly what i was about to do
[06:15] <chuckyp> shiznatix, you need to mount that partition
[06:15] <linkd> Siddhartha211: hehe rock and roll
[06:15] <Goldfisch> atoponce: Intersection = AND, Union = OR. So, AND the expressions together.
[06:15] <chuckyp> shiznatix, was it a fat32 partition?
[06:15] <gopi> When I do sudo apt-get install mjpegtools , Iam getting W: Couldn't stat source package list http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_main_binary-amd64_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory)
[06:15] <Marlun> I've got a 200GB hd that I want to be accessible by both windows and linux, whats the best way to do that?
[06:16] <General_Error> is it me or is the sound quality really crappy?
[06:16] <balu1> hm. .how do i start the network manager?
[06:16] <atoponce> Goldfisch: example?
[06:16] <Siddhartha211> waiting for it to upload on dialup.....
[06:16] <LjL> Marlun: there is not a best way. you can format it as FAT32, which will make it perfectly accessible to both win and lin
[06:16] <linkd> Siddhartha211: sure np, take ur time.

[06:16] <bet0x> how i connect to a VPN with pptp, i hate static IP in my VPN, and user y password too, i configure all, i got "PAP authentication succeeded" but in a feu seconds i got too "Connection terminated"
[06:16] <Siddhartha211> linkd: http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/5838/asd9bk.jpg
[06:16] <Xeonwales> can anyone help with a wireless issure on a laptop?
[06:16] <LjL> Marlun: but FAT32 is bad. you could format it as NTFS, but linux couldn't write to it, or you could format it as ext3, but Windows couldn't write to it (almost)
[06:16] <Celestianpower> gnomefreak: So what do I do?
[06:17] <Marlun> LjL: Can a FAT32 filesystem be 200GB?
[06:17] <chuckyp> Siddhartha211, what is that a laptop?
[06:17] <grout_> chuckyp whats dir?
[06:17] <Siddhartha211> nope its a desktop computer
[06:17] <Siddhartha211> Delll
[06:17] <LjL> Marlun: i'll have to say that i never tried
[06:17] <gnomefreak> Celestianpower: you got me man ask chuckyp
[06:17] <chuckyp> grout58, of what?
[06:17] <Marlun> LjL: I mostly need linux to be able to get stuff from it.
[06:17] <Celestianpower> chuckyp: So what do I do?
[06:17] <gopi> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10005
[06:17] <Xeonwales> :-(
[06:17] <grout_> media/storage
[06:17] <LjL> Marlun: then you could format it as ntfs
[06:17] <atoponce> Goldfisch: there is not string to match against.  rather, testing if the string is in the intersection
[06:17] <Marlun> LjL: ok,  thanks =)
[06:17] <grout_> if im trying to cd there
[06:17] <chuckyp> grout_, yeah directory was /media/storage
[06:17] <Siddhartha211> linkd: u get that?
[06:18] <gnomefreak> chuckyp: is better at the internet connection issues :)
[06:18] <chuckyp> grout_,  you need the leading /
[06:18] <gopi> Goldfisch, mustard5: Can you help me plz ?
[06:18] <Xeonwales> can anyone please help me??
[06:18] <Siddhartha211> Xeonwales: what is your problem
[06:18] <Goldfisch> atoponce: Not sure about that. Every language implements regular expressions a little different. I was talking in the realms of high brow mathematics. Two IF statements, if it matches the first, your good. If it doesn't match the first but then IF matches the seconds, your good.
[06:18] <HymnToLife> !helpme
[06:18] <ubotu> If you don't actually ask a question, we can not actually help you.
[06:18] <chuckyp> Celestianpower, what are you trying to do?
[06:18] <Marlun> LjL: ah, I can't format it as ntfs from the ubuntu installation can I? =) no option for that. I have to do that with windows?
[06:18] <linkd> Siddhartha211: ah ok, you have 2 unmounted FAT* partitions, they arent very big tho, it would be a tight squeeze to put ubuntu on there
[06:18] <linkd> however, you can attempt to resize
[06:18] <SpookyET> is smbmount missing?
[06:18] <linkd> C:\ and "make* another partition or two
[06:18] <linkd> Siddhartha211: yea sorry forgive my pauses, im on wifi, it lags alot sometimes
[06:19] <Siddhartha211> make another partition?
[06:19] <Goldfisch> !ask
[06:19] <gnomefreak> chuckyp: hes the one you had paste ifup and ifdown
[06:19] <Siddhartha211> is this going to screw up anything?
[06:19] <chuckyp> linkd, be carefull one of those fat partitions look like a config for hybernate or something on his laptop.
[06:19] <LjL> Marlun: must do that from windows, yeah
[06:19] <Siddhartha211> is there any risk involved?
[06:19] <chuckyp> gnomefreak, ahh
[06:19] <linkd> Siddhartha211: yea you can do something called resizing
[06:19] <Xeonwales> i cant connect to my router wirelessly
[06:19] <linkd> chuckyp: i have no intention of using those but noted
[06:19] <gopi> chuckyp, Goldfisch, mustard5: Plz look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10005
[06:19] <chuckyp> Celestianpower, can you boot into windows I want to check some stuff on there.
[06:19] <Celestianpower> chuckyp: Yes, sorry
[06:19] <Siddhartha211> okay
[06:19] <linkd> Siddhartha211: there is a risk
[06:19] <Siddhartha211> so how do i do this "resizing"
[06:19] <Siddhartha211> a lot of risk...?
[06:19] <Celestianpower> chuckyp: No, I don't have Windows
[06:19] <chuckyp> Celestianpower, and pm me
[06:19] <linkd> Siddhartha211: but, if you do it right, ussually itll work perfect (it always has for me)
[06:19] <mustard5> gopi: k
[06:20] <Goldfisch> gopi: Okay, give me a second.
[06:20] <Siddhartha211> okay
[06:20] <Siddhartha211> so what do i do
[06:20] <linkd> Siddhartha211: the risk is you can corrupt your windows partition (so make sure you backup!)
[06:20] <chuckyp> linkd, I would resize the 70 gig partiton to be safe and then put ubuntu on empty space
[06:20] <Siddhartha211> oh snap...
[06:20] <linkd> chuckyp: my intention is that :P
[06:20] <Siddhartha211> okay i will back up
[06:20] <balu1> i plugged a wireless USB adapter in, how do i know if it was recognized?
[06:20] <yaazkal> join #ubuntu-co
[06:21] <Siddhartha211> xeonwales: not sure im not that experienced at ubuntu
[06:21] <BobC2> I'm close to trying to set up a dual boot Win98/Ubuntu sys but was wondering if there is NEWS READER for Ubuntu?  I use Agent now.
[06:21] <linkd> Siddhartha211: the proceed *i* use, is first, backup, then defrag the partition completely, until there is no fragments. then reboot into a livecd (knoppix will do) then run a program called "qtparted"
[06:21] <mustard5> gopi: did you run sudo apt-get update?
[06:21] <Goldfisch> gopi: Have you enabled restricted, universe, multiverse repositories?
[06:21] <gopi> Goldfisch: yes
[06:21] <V4Vendetta> how do i add a public key for a mirror ?
[06:21] <linkd> Siddhartha211: qtparted is a simple graphical partition that can be used for resizing
[06:21] <SpookyET> From where do I get smbmount?
[06:21] <Xeonwales> can anyone help me with a wireless issue on a laptop?
[06:21] <gopi> mustard5: yes i did that a few days back
[06:21] <mustard5> gopi: run it again
[06:21] <Siddhartha211> how do  run the program

[06:21] <Siddhartha211> what do i click
[06:22] <gopi> mustard5: ok
[06:22] <linkd> Siddhartha211: you open up a terminal or something and just run "qtparted"
[06:22] <Siddhartha211> and how do i open up a terminal
[06:22] <balu1> goldfisch: i put that network manager thing on startup..how do i know it starteD?
[06:22] <Siddhartha211> is that like start-->run in windows
[06:22] <linkd> Siddhartha211: oh nono, you run it in a livecd
[06:22] <Siddhartha211> i  knopw
[06:22] <Siddhartha211> but im saying is it the start-run feature of linux
[06:22] <Siddhartha211> like comparitively
[06:22] <Xeonwales> o well, im gonna have to stick with linspire then :-(
[06:23] <linkd> Siddhartha211: ah, well there is a menu system yea
[06:23] <linkd> Siddhartha211: but, if u use knoppix there will be a terminal icon on the bottom bar
[06:23] <MartinMagnusson> I'm trying to run the Ubuntu install on a machine with 24 MB memory, but I see that the Ubunti 5.10 installer needs 64 MB. I get a kernel panic with "out of memory". Is there no way to install Ubuntu with 24 MB RAM?
[06:23] <linkd> Siddhartha211: just click on that, type "qtparted" hit enter
[06:23] <Siddhartha211> how come ur tutorial says
[06:23] <Siddhartha211> sudo qtparted
[06:24] <balu1> how do i know if a USB device is picked up? (such as my usb wireless net adapter)
[06:24] <linkd> Siddhartha211: alterantively there is like a start->run thing ( http://figs.cyberciti.biz/blogs/tips_tricks/partition_resize_snapshot1.jpg ) but i cant remember off hand how to get that (i dont run KDE)
[06:24] <mustard5> Xeonwales: keep pluggin away..someone might help eventually :)
[06:24] <linkd> Siddhartha211: ah, well yea, you need to be "root" to run it
[06:24] <Goldfisch> !wiki NetworkManager
[06:24] <linkd> Siddhartha211: you can either do sudo or u can just do "su root" then type "qtparted"
[06:24] <bet0x> how i connect to a VPN with pptp, i hate static IP in my VPN, and user y password too, i configure all, i got "PAP authentication succeeded" but in a feu seconds i got too "Connection terminated"

[06:24] <Webby`> Hi, Does ATI's TV Wonder Usb 2.0 work in Ubuntu?
[06:25] <Goldfisch> !tell balu1 about NetworkManager
[06:25] <V4Vendetta> how do i open the gnome task manager?
[06:25] <NegativeSpace> Can someone tell me what: "For use with kernel 2.6.x you need to enable synaptics touchpad support when configuring the kernel (CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2). You also need support for the evdev interface (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV). If you compile evdev as a module, make sure it is loaded before starting the X server, as it will not be auto-loaded." means and how to go about doing it?
[06:25] <Xeonwales> can anyone please help me with a wireless network issue??
[06:25] <BobC2> Anyone know if there is an Agent like News Reader for Ubuntu?
[06:25] <balu1> goldfisch: thats the page i was using
[06:25] <Siddhartha211> linkd: so what resizing do i do to which partitio
[06:25] <linkd> Xeonwales: whats the issue?
[06:25] <Siddhartha211> which one should i make bigger and which one smaller
[06:25] <Goldfisch> Well, did you see no new applets popup on the task bar when you ran nm-applet?
[06:25] <linkd> Siddhartha211: right, well i think ur C: will be listed as something like /dev/hda2 according to ur screenshot u gave me earlier
[06:25] <Siddhartha211> and if all of this fails can i reinstall windows and stuff
[06:25] <viller> why do I have to right click>eject to eject the cd?
[06:25] <Webby`> anyone know?
[06:25] <Siddhartha211> linkd: what you mean by that
[06:26] <balu1> goldfisch: i wanted to know HOW i can see it running, i followe dthe instructions, i dont see it in my taskbar
[06:26] <V4Vendetta> how do i open the gnome task manager?
[06:26] <Siddhartha211> wait...so i can access windows files by going to the dev folder and htne hda2?
[06:26] <timmy334> is there a deb out for TheWidgetFactory?
[06:26] <Siddhartha211> from linux
[06:26] <LjL> viller: because there isn't a reliable way to detect pressing of the Eject button on the drive
[06:26] <Webby`> Hi, Does ATI's TV Wonder Usb 2.0 work in Ubuntu?
[06:26] <Siddhartha211> because there is
[06:26] <Xeonwales> linkd cant connect ot router wirelessly
[06:26] <Siddhartha211> a dev folder
[06:26] <linkd> Siddhartha211: ok well in linux our partitions dont have a letter-name like C: or D: or anything, we have device addresses
[06:26] <LjL> !tell Siddhartha211 about enter
[06:26] <PuMpErNiCkLe> V4Vendetta: Applications - system - system monitor
[06:26] <linkd> Siddhartha211: hda2 means "master IDE slot, partition 2"
[06:26] <viller> Ljl: but there is on Windows?
[06:27] <V4Vendetta> PuMpErNiCkLe, thanks
[06:27] <shiznatix> Hello, I just tried the diskmounter script and I am getting the same error that I was getting when I was trying to do it by hand
[06:27] <PuMpErNiCkLe> V4Vendetta: np :)
[06:27] <ppd> hi. does anybody know where to get a v4l module for dapper?
[06:27] <Siddhartha211> LjL what do you mean by dont press enter
[06:27] <linkd> Xeonwales: i cant remmeber how to do that, sorry
[06:27] <Goldfisch> balu1: It should create an applet on the tool bar. It first shows two dots with a circling swoosh, and if it connects, replaces it with bars. There were no error messages when you ran nm-applet?
[06:27] <ppd> oder how to enable overlay mode otherwise
[06:27] <V4Vendetta> PuMpErNiCkLe, do you know how i bind that to a key?
[06:27] <Xeonwales> linkd - ok, thnx anyway
[06:27] <Siddhartha211> LjL: how do i stop the enter thing and spamming
[06:27] <balu1> goldfisch: nope.. everything went A OK
[06:27] <LjL> viller: no, windows simply doesn't care. you can eject a cd at any time in windows, and if you do it at the wrong time, a read error will probably pop up and things will probably crash
[06:27] <slew> hi. does anyone know where to put a new mouse cursor theme?
[06:27] <BobC2> Anyone know if there is an Agent like News Reader for Ubuntu?
[06:27] <mustard5> ppd: I'm on dapper atm and its in the repositories I thought
[06:27] <timmy334> is there a deb out for TheWidgetFactory?
[06:27] <Goldfisch> balu1: ps -ef | grep nm-applet
[06:27] <PuMpErNiCkLe> V4Vendetta: It should be possible in applications -> system -> configuration editor -> apps -> metacity
[06:27] <mustard5> ppd: I'm running xawtv so I guess its installed
[06:28] <NegativeSpace> Can someone tell me what: "For use with kernel 2.6.x you need to enable synaptics touchpad support when configuring the kernel (CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2). You also need support for the evdev interface (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV). If you compile evdev as a module, make sure it is loaded before starting the X server, as it will not be auto-loaded." means and how to go about doing it?
[06:28] <Siddhartha211> linkd: what do i do for resizing the partitions
[06:28] <ppd> mustard5: are you sure? what cpu load do you have when watching tv?
[06:28] <Siddhartha211> linkd: also, what do i do after i resize them
[06:28] <balu1> it didnt do anything?
[06:28] <balu1> goldfisch: srry* it didnt do anything
[06:28] <mustard5> ppd: never really paid much attention...let me try
[06:28] <LjL> Siddhartha211: [18:26]  <Siddhartha211> from linux *enter* [18:26]  <Siddhartha211> because there is *enter* [18:26]  <Siddhartha211> a dev folder *enter*   <--- i refer to this
[06:28] <BobC2> Anyone know if there is an Agent like News Reader for Ubuntu?
[06:28] <viller> Ljl: I knew there was no secure way to do it in Windows if there isn't in Linux, I just asked because I'm really pissed right now. But not on ejecting, on html actually.
[06:28] <Goldfisch> balu1: nm-applet is not running?
[06:28] <LinuxJones>  BobC2 pan
[06:29] <Siddhartha211> LjL: so how do i stop that
[06:29] <linkd> Siddhartha211: it says in that link *how* resize the partitions
[06:29] <shiznatix> LjL, that mounting script you gave me did not work, it gives me the same errors that I get when I try to mount the partitions manually
[06:29] <BobC2> Ahhh thanks LinuxJones!
[06:29] <LinuxJones>  BobC2 pan is excellent you'll love it
[06:29] <bpuccio> anyone here familiar with initramfs and kernel updates?
[06:29] <LjL> Siddhartha211: uh..... perhaps you don't press enter after every three words, but instead just wait until you've finished the whole sentence?
[06:29] <linkd> Siddhartha211: after uve done that, and split the partitions in 2, id reboot and make sure windows still works, then reboot again with the ubuntu install CD, and try to install it
[06:29] <slew> hi. does anyone know where to put a new mouse cursor theme?
[06:29] <LjL> shiznatix: what are those?
[06:30] <BobC2> LinuxJoenes Cool I'll google it
[06:30] <mustard5> ppd: xawtv seems to be using 1 percent cpu
[06:30] <ppd> mustard5: so I guess you have overlay mode enabled
[06:30] <Xeonwales> i cant connect to the net wirelessly on a laptop, can anyone help please?
[06:30] <mustard5> ppd: grabdisplay
[06:30] <Siddhartha211> so which partition do i make bigger
[06:30] <Siddhartha211> for linux
[06:30] <NegativeSpace> Why does Mozilla (not Firefox, just Mozilla, or whatever it's called) keep appearing back on my machine when I log in?
[06:30] <ppd> mustard5: hm.  that's exactly what I want to avoid :)
[06:30] <Siddhartha211> linkd: which partition do i make bigger for linux
[06:30] <Fix_> the startup commands that are performed on login, in which file can they be found?
[06:31] <mustard5> ppd: my card doesnt work with overlay
[06:31] <LinuxJones> NegativeSpace, you have save session enabled in system > preferences > session
[06:31] <Siddhartha211> linkd: and when i install it, how do i select which partition to install it o
[06:31] <Siddhartha211> **on
[06:31] <Fix_> so not going through system -> preferences ->session
[06:31] <mustard5> ppd: are rather something doesnt work :)
[06:31] <ppd> mustard5: mine would but the needed v4l module is missing
[06:31] <Fix_> but in console
[06:31] <Xeonwales> i cant connect to the net wirelessly on a laptop, can anyone help please?
[06:31] <General_Error> why is the sound quality quite bad???
[06:31] <linkd> Siddhartha211: you arent making any partition "Bigger" you are taking the 70gig one, and modifying its size, from the screenshot u have aout 40gigs free, so what *id* do if i were u (new) is make that 70 gig into a 50gig and a 20gig, and use the 202gig for linux
[06:31] <cadfix> hello to eveybody
[06:32] <mustard5> ppd: well there is v4l-conf ?
[06:32] <BobC2> LinuxJones Thanks for the advice.... cya
[06:32] <cadfix> does anybody know which is the properly value for the JAVA_HOME enviroment variable on ubuntu?

[06:33] <NegativeSpace> LinuxJones "Automatically save changes to session" isn't ticked...
[06:33] <LjL> shiznatix: try "sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/hda2 /whatever/directory", assuming the fs is ntfs
[06:33] <linkd> Siddhartha211: there should be something in the install interface that asks you, you should consult the ubuntu HOWTOs on installation for that (going thru the entire installation with u would take too much time)
[06:33] <linkd> Siddhartha211: the 20gig is unallocated on the drive.

[06:33] <slew> hi. does anyone know where to put a new mouse cursor theme?
[06:33] <LinuxJones> NegativeSpace, is there an entry in the startup programs ?
[06:33] <mustard5> ppd: would v4l2_common be it?
[06:33] <NegativeSpace> LinuxJones No, there's nothing.
[06:34] <Siddhartha211> linkd: so then once i am done with that and i install linux, do i have to select a partition to install it in or do will it do it automatically
[06:34] <LinuxJones> NegativeSpace, wth ?
[06:34] <linkd> Siddhartha211: itll ask u during the installation
[06:34] <ppd> mustard5: I guess no, as overlay doesn't work although that module is loaded by default
[06:34] <NegativeSpace> LinuxJones Yeah exactly, I uninstall it each time, and it comes back next time I log in.
[06:34] <Siddhartha211> linkd: what will it ask me and what do i select
[06:34] <balu1> goldfisch: got it  working. tnx
[06:34] <V4Vendetta> how do i restart the OpenSSH server?
[06:34] <Goldfisch> balu1: Good.
[06:35] <linkd> Siddhartha211: when you actually instlall ubuntu you get to a "partitioning" stage, if i were u, id use the guided partition to guess what setup u want
[06:35] <Goldfisch> V4Vendetta: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart

[06:35] <linkd> Siddhartha211: like i said, u should consult the ubuntu installation HOWTO with those questions
[06:35] <balu1> goldfisch: could u tell me how i can see if a USB device is detected?

[06:36] <Nogimics> How do I install ncurses on ubuntu? what is the command pls? sudo apt-get install ncurse ??
[06:37] <LjL> fabien: "sudo aptitude install amsn", after enabling universe
[06:37] <shiznatix> Ljl: it would make sence because when I was installing ubuntu it showed the partions 1st windows, 2nd the partition I want to work, 3rd free space for ubuntu
[06:37] <linkd> sidd	itll ony use empty partitions
[06:37] <NegativeSpace> LinuxJones Heh Heh.
[06:37] <linkd> no	i think its something like sudo apt-get install libncurses
[06:37] <linkd> * Nogimics
[06:37] <Nogimics> Thanks
[06:37] <Siddhartha211> linkd: what percent chance is there that this will happen successfuly
[06:37] <linkd> * Siddhartha211: itll ony use empty partitions
[06:38] <NegativeSpace> Can someone tell me what: "For use with kernel 2.6.x you need to enable synaptics touchpad support when configuring the kernel (CONFIG_MOUSE_PS2). You also need support for the evdev interface (CONFIG_INPUT_EVDEV). If you compile evdev as a module, make sure it is loaded before starting the X server, as it will not be auto-loaded." means and how to go about doing it?
[06:38] <LjL> fabien: but Gaim includes support for MSN, too
[06:38] <linkd> Siddhartha211: i cant give an exact figure, but if u do exactly as ive said with the resizing, you should be fine, but beaware of the risk when resizing, and make sure u backup
[06:38] <Nogimics> hmm its not: install libncurses
[06:38] <LinuxJones> NegativeSpace, do it from a terminal it might give you more info. do sudo apt-get --purge remove mozilla-whatever-package-name-is
[06:38] <pinkisntwell> if I install msttcorefonts what happens to the existing fonts?
[06:38] <NegativeSpace> LinuxJones Okay dude, I'll try that -- thanks.
[06:38] <Nogimics> is there a place where I can go when I need to find what package name I need to type to install stuff?
[06:38] <fabien> ou o u
[06:38] <fabien> ouou
[06:38] <LjL> !tell Nogimics about shortapt
[06:39] <Nogimics> LjL Thanks
[06:39] <LinuxJones> NegativeSpace, you can add modules at bootup by placing the module name in the /etc/modules file (ie nvidia)
[06:39] <SpookyET> i'm trying to mount a smb share and it's driving me nuts
[06:39] <SpookyET> smbmount is missing
[06:39] <SpookyET> and mount is bitching
[06:39] <linkd> Nogimics: try typing "apt-cache search ncurses" thatll search for ncurses related packages
[06:39] <linkd> ugh lag
[06:39] <LjL> shiznatix: hm not sure they necessarly match... i think i would try other partitions, shouldn't hurt anyway
[06:40] <NegativeSpace> LinuxJones So I get evdev and stick it in /etc/modules?
[06:40] <LjL> SpookyET: install smbmount then. it's in the smbfs package
[06:40] <slew> hi. does anyone know where to put a new mouse cursor theme?
[06:41] <SpookyET> LjL: that's why mount is bitching
[06:41] <SpookyET> no smbfs
[06:41] <LjL> SpookyET: yeah, so install it
[06:42] <NoelJB> In Synaptic, advanced mode, status.  What does "Local or Obsolete" mean?  I don't see anything about it in the manual, the synaptic website, nor the ubuntu web site.
[06:42] <thrice`> anyone tried out flight 5 yet?
[06:42] <thrice`> and can comment on stability :)
[06:42] <LjL> NoelJB: means packages that are known by the APT system, but don't appear in the repositories, i think
[06:42] <LjL> NoelJB: so, it's either packages that *used* to be in the reps but aren't anymore, or packages that you installed manually from outside the reps
[06:43] <NoelJB> LjL: hmmm ... I installed emacs using apt-get, rather than synaptics.  Would that cause it?
[06:43] <LjL> NoelJB: no
[06:43] <slew> hi. does anyone know where to put a new mouse cursor theme?
[06:44] <NoelJB> LjL: because those are precisely the packages appearing in that list.
[06:44] <LjL> NoelJB: perhaps the names have been changed recently? what are the packages called?
[06:45] <GnarusLeo> as I live and breathe, you have killed me, you have killed me
[06:46] <NoelJB> LjL: emacs21, emacs21-bin-common, emacs21-common, emacsen-common and xaw3dg
[06:46] <purplefeltangel> how do you pronounce ubuntu? :D
[06:47] <__mikem> ooo bun tooo
[06:47] <tristanmike> ooo boon too
[06:47] <LjL> NoelJB: not sure about it, those *are* the current names
[06:47] <Alatariel> nabend
[06:47] <mustard5> I pronounce it more oo boon too
[06:47] <purplefeltangel> ephasis on which syllable?
[06:47] <purplefeltangel> *emphasis
[06:47] <mustard5> purplefeltangel: second
[06:47] <__mikem> why does it matter
[06:48] <mustard5> purplefeltangel: actually first
[06:48] <purplefeltangel> __mikem: just curious ;P
[06:48] <__mikem> ok
[06:48] <purplefeltangel> mustard5: really? thats a bit awk
[06:48] <NoelJB> LjL: hence my question.
[06:48] <chombee> Hi guys - trying to use ndiswrapper through ndisgtk - where do we download inf files from? It's a broadcom PCI wireless card in an Acer laptop
[06:48] <slew> hi. does anyone know where to put a new mouse cursor theme?
[06:48] <mustard5> purplefeltangel: I'm just saying it over to myself now :)
[06:48] <__mikem> how do you pronounce glocenschpeel
[06:49] <__mikem> lol
[06:49] <NoelJB> __mikem: pretty well, actually.  I can also spell that one correctly  ;-)
[06:49] <__mikem> lol
[06:49] <milamber> i've got problems playing live feed wmv, and mpg with totem ( integrated in firefox) anyon, btw hel;lo ?:D
[06:49] <__mikem> sorry, spelling aint my strong point
[06:49] <NoelJB> on the other hand, I have a feeling that most of us don't pronounce ubuntu the way that a native speaker would.
[06:50] <Eltariel> Pronounciation: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-106616.html
[06:50] <__mikem> I once went to a competition for FBLA and I found atleast three people walking around with pressed ubuntu cds in their pocket
[06:50] <__mikem> It made for interesting conversation
[06:51] <mrnicksgirl> anybody with experiece in getting USB network cards to work with UB?
[06:51] <NegativeSpace> How can I tell which version of xorg I have?
[06:51] <ramlez> hi, how i can change duplex mode on ubuntu? :)
[06:51] <__mikem> mrnicksgirl, I have experience, but it is all bad experience
[06:51] <NoelJB> __mikem: that's alright.  I'm more interested in resolving this synaptics question that how to pronounce the OS.  ;-)
[06:51] <mrnicksgirl> mikem: hmmmm :(
[06:52] <NoelJB> NegativeSpace: either the GUI or command line tools for the package manager should tell you.
[06:52] <__mikem> you should probably try to find another network card, usb support in ubuntu is a bit behind the times
[06:52] <slew> hi. does anyone know where to put a new mouse cursor theme?

[06:59] <techrush> if i cant fiddle with getting a system working right i get bored :/
[06:59] <NoelJB> NegativeSpace: yes.  on the thought that many people know how to do what you asked with rpm, and perhaps not with dpkg.
[06:59] <SirKillalot> where does gnome-panel know which addons to load?
[06:59] <kreig> Raovq: ubuntu-desktop is a "metapackage" i believe
[06:59] <g0dchild> !gnome
[06:59] <SirKillalot> is there a configuration file?
[06:59] <gopi> mustard5: Are u there ?
[06:59] <kreig> Roavq: it's something you install to pull in a bunch of other packages
[06:59] <Xeonwales> im on linspire @ the mo, but want to switch, but i cant get wireless to work on ubuntu (works on linspire without no messing about)
[06:59] <kreig> the reason is suggests removing it, is that the next time you update it, it will try andpull firefox back in 8)
[06:59] <NoelJB> bet0x1: what was your question?
[07:00] <shiznatix> Hey can anyone tell me how to install cabextract? I need to get a driver file from a .exe

[07:02] <NoelJB> LjL: OK, I just noticed that aptitude lists what "Local or Obsolete" means, but I don't see why it applys to those.  Weird.
