[15:38] <laughzilla> erUSUL - the module is apparently called "raw1394" ... so shouldn't i have tried   sudo modprobe raw1394  ??
[15:39] <DubCubeg> hello

[15:39] <Pici> GHOST_: Are you using compiz?
[15:39] <DubCubeg> and when launching in terminal it launches but never starts
[15:39] <GHOST_> Pici no i got metacity
[15:39] <erUSUL> laughzilla: i thought that the module was already loaded becouse you have the /dev/raw device
[15:39] <rodolfo> Jack_Sparrow: any other app that put my system in danger and I should know....?
[15:39] <DubCubeg> someone has an idea?
[15:39] <fsanlu> i have a quick question: does disabling APIC have to do with anything related to the network cards?
[15:39] <Jack_Sparrow> rodolfo: envy is almost as bad
[15:39] <Pici> GHOST_: Hold on a minuet
[15:39] <laughzilla> erusul - ok
[15:40] <orionr> Pici: do you know what driver the restricted manager used for the x1400 ati card?
[15:40] <GHOST_> Pici no prob :)
[15:40] <erUSUL> laughzilla: you can run « lsmod | less » to make sure
[15:40] <white_eagle> anyone knows how to make the window bars translucent? using compiz and emerald
[15:40] <Jack_Sparrow> rodolfo: Stay in the official repos/sources and it will make for a very stable system
[15:40] <rodolfo> Jack_Sparrow: as fas as i know its just a video driver searcher ...isnt it?
[15:40] <Jack_Sparrow> rodolfo: No it is way worse than that
[15:40] <RequinB4> The most secure system is turned off, power disconnected, in a safe at the bottom of the ocean
[15:41] <rodolfo> Jack_Sparrow: what do you mean?
[15:41] <Jack_Sparrow> rodolfo: Please read that article for more info
[15:41] <Pici> GHOST_: I *think* that the gtweakui package will give you options to do that, if not, you may have to hunt in gconf-editor for the setting
[15:41] <white_eagle> anyone knows how to make the window bars translucent? using compiz and emerald
[15:41] <Andeh> Where is the startup script in Xubuntu?
[15:41] <laughzilla> erUSUL - thanks ... that gives me:  ieee1394               96312  3 raw1394,dv1394,ohci1394
[15:42] <GHOST_> Pici wow ty ok ill try
[15:42] <laughzilla> erUSUL - it also shows:  ohci1394               36528  1 dv1394
[15:43] <Jack_Sparrow> rodolfo: If after you read that you have questions about sources/repos and dependencies we will be happy to answer them.  Your friend is in for a rude surprise after one of the regular updates
[15:43] <LimCore_> can ubutnu fit into 800 mb usb stick at all?
[15:43] <Dr_willis> LimCore_,  doubtfull.
[15:43] <underdaw1> im having an issue with hamachi by following these instructions http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=135036 (i initially tried them through ssh, but now I'm vnc'd into a remote box) - basically it's not installing in /etc... anyone have an idea why?
[15:43] <Jack_Sparrow> LimCore_: doubtful, but it would be enough for a persistent mode stick when running livecd
[15:43] <rodolfo> Jack_Sparrow: he is asking me if there's a way to remove automatix from his machine.
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> rodolfo: the sad but true answer is.. no
[15:44] <underdaw1> I followed the same instructions successfully on my local ubuntu box, but my remote one isn't working for some reason
[15:44] <rodolfo> Jack_Sparrow: once its already installed of course
[15:44] <Dr_willis> underdaw1,  you mean its not making a config file in /etc/ that it should be making?
[15:44] <rodolfo> lol
[15:44] <white_eagle> anyone knows how to make the window bars translucent? using compiz and emerald
[15:44] <underdaw1> yes
[15:44] <laughzilla> and in kino i still see the "WARNING" that i don't have the kernel for  raw1394 module at /dev/raw1394 loaded or readable or writable.
[15:44] <Pici> white_eagle: Have you asked in #compiz-fusion ?
[15:44] <IdleOne> rodolfo: yes by doing a fresh install
[15:44] <Jack_Sparrow> rodolfo: If it was wasy to uninstall we would not be so hard against it
[15:44] <mular> ok I think I answered my own question with firefox.. but can anyone help me understand the dkpg-divert command? why use that?
[15:44] <underdaw1> Dr_willis: the instructions work flawlessly on my local box, just not on the remote box
[15:44] <underdaw1> Dr_willis: isn't that weird?
[15:44] <Dr_willis> underdaw1,  ive seen other tools/apps taht make a 'example' comfig file somewhere. (like in their docs dir) you have to manually copy over to the right place.
[15:45] <Dr_willis> underdaw1,  copy the config from the otehr box then perhaps?
[15:45] <underdaw1> that's a good tree to back up
[15:45] <underdaw1> hmm
[15:45] <neumind> who is played medieval total war in wine?
[15:45] <underdaw1> hmm
[15:45] <rodolfo> Jack_Sparrow: should i be concerned about viruses for Ubuntu?
[15:45] <erUSUL> !appdb | neumind
[15:45] <ubotu> neumind: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[15:45] <Jack_Sparrow> rodolfo: no
[15:46] <underdaw1> copying from a nix box to a nix box isn't the easiest
[15:46] <underdaw1> hmm

[15:46] <near14> is there any chance to add new resolution values for gnome?
[15:46] <bastid_raZor> rodolfo:: i've had my box online and turned on for 11 months. not one spyware adaware or virus.
[15:46] <Jack_Sparrow> rodolfo: The only dangers come when using wine and windows apps... then it isnt a danger to ubuntu os as much as your data and info

[15:48] <underdaw1> ahh

[15:50] <BRATiK> Pici: in the repository old version
[15:50] <rodolfo> Jack_Sparrow: thanks...thats all i need to know for now...thank you one more time ;)
[15:50] <Jack_Sparrow> rodolfo: Also note that not every answer is available all the time, we all have our strengths and weakness's
[15:50] <underdaw1> well for some reason it won't make the config file, I'm not in a good spot heh
[15:50] <kurt> it says illegal user
[15:50] <Pici> BRATiK: Theres nothing much I can do to help you if you are having issues with something compiled from source.
[15:50] <rodolfo> Jack_Sparrow: nobody's perfect, i know
[15:51] <Jack_Sparrow> rodolfo: Welcome to Ubuntu...
[15:51] <kurt> wait  maybe i know
[15:51] <LHoT> Hello, is there anyway I can remove the Gnash Plugin? It's horrendously slow, not do mention flat out doesn't work for me.
[15:51] <crush_groove> rodolfo,  in this room many people have much of the same information yet some excel in other ares such as hardware video stuff app management etc . they all are a piece of a larger puzzle that when formed create a strong Ubuntu support network .. that is my view anyway after several days of watching
[15:51] <pawan> how to install bin file
[15:51] <bastid_raZor> LHoT:: sudo apt-get remove gnash-plugin
[15:51] <LHoT> thanks.
[15:51] <bastid_raZor> LHoT:: or possibly just gnash
[15:52] <LHoT> k
[15:52] <crush_groove> !gnash
[15:52] <ubotu> An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[15:52] <kurt> still won't work
[15:52] <Hammer89> Someone told me that I might have MBR issues installing Vista/Ubuntu dual boot... can anyone give me an idea of what might go wrong + a basic work-around?
[15:52] <light_blue> hello everyone
[15:52] <Jack_Sparrow> crush_groove: Good explanation
[15:52] <rodolfo> crush_groove, i hope i know as much as you to become a new member of this team...to help and to get helped
[15:52] <Hammer89> (A link to a good informational site is just as good as an answer)
[15:53] <LHoT> it also says that i do have flash9 installed, which i dont, unless someone messed with my comp without me knowing, to remove it would be sudo apt-get remove flash non-free
[15:53] <kurt> guys i am doing something wrong : how to get read and write access to a pro duo stick
[15:53] <LHoT> Right?
[15:53] <Jack_Sparrow> rodolfo: You are well on your way by helping your friend avoid automatix next time
[15:53] <bastid_raZor> kurt:: what are the permissions set to now?
[15:54] <rodolfo> Jack_Sparrow: and i will alert averybody on the ubuntu forums..(if they havent already done that)
[15:54] <crush_groove>  Jack_Sparrow  I see that all the time in here . would you be able to tell me why automatix is such a poor choice ?
[15:54] <lumpy^> hey guys. i want to install a backup software so ill able to remote backup all the content trough ftp... i see many software that have "client" and "server" .... do i need to install the client on the computer i want to backup the files from and the client install to where i want to make the backup?
[15:54] <Pici> !automatix | crush_groove read the link
[15:54] <ubotu> crush_groove read the link: automatix is not recommended, supported or needed. See http://mjg59.livejournal.com/77440.html and « /msg ubotu WorksForMe »
[15:54] <underdaw1> what's the console command to search for a file in bash?
[15:54] <numpy> !apt-get

[15:54] <LHoT> Yeah, I've used automatix plenty of times on my other boxes, it's never caused a problem.
[15:54] <Pici> underdaw1: that was for you.
[15:55] <herbi1> i have tried and tried to get sound to work on aMSN with no luck..  ive edited the .tcl files  config.xml files and still no luck.. the cam works but no sound from the other end.  the sound works in Preferences tho. snack is loaded.  any ideas?
[15:55] <Jack_Sparrow> !wfm > LHoT
[15:55] <nickrud> LHoT, the real issues usually come up when you upgrade, have you done in place upgrades on those boxes?
[15:56] <B-rabbit> herbi1, why don't u use gaim/pidgin? iqts beter than most msn or yahoo client
[15:56] <chrometiger> question, i need something fixed,  everytime i loggin to gnome i have no background nor desktop icons i have to hit alt+f2 and run nautilus to get those back, and my trash and vol control applets dont load and wont from add to panel menu
[15:56] <LHoT> atm one of them is not upgraded from 6.06, the others are at 7.04 and 7.10
[15:56] <saxony> the nonfree flash plugin is buggy.  It works sometimes and other times it partially works(flash animation might produce a picture but no sound)
[15:56] <herbi1> B-rabbit    is sound provided on those apps?
[15:57] <LHoT> Automatix was installed before the upgrades on all boxes.
[15:57] <B-rabbit> herbi1, yer
[15:57] <nickrud> LHoT, then you (luckily) didn't use one of the broken install options
[15:57] <kurt> bastid_raZor: only owner can view and modify
[15:57] <LHoT> I guess so.
[15:57] <herbi1> ok B-rabbit ill try that
[15:57] <Jack_Sparrow> LHoT: A perfect example is flash...  It has been pulled because it dosent work for everyone... even though it would work for more people than automatix.. that still is not good enough
[15:57] <B-rabbit> herbi1, you just have to mess around with the settings at bit...
[15:57] <kurt> user is kurt, group is root
[15:58] <B-rabbit> kurt, ???
[15:58] <smacky> so what do we use if automatix is so bad
[15:58] <smacky> google
[15:58] <LHoT> JS: on the topic of flash, in apt, is it "flash non-free"
[15:58] <kurt> B-rabbit: yes
[15:58] <Jack_Sparrow> smacky: You dont need those scripts to install things
[15:58] <nickrud> smacky, apt-get
[15:59] <LjL> smacky: despair and cry.
[15:59] <nickrud> rflol
[15:59] <LHoT> or "flash-plugin non-free"
[15:59] <kurt> how can i modify my pro duo stick, is this really that hard
[15:59] <Chemicalvamp> ok so ive got an issue with booting a live cd (on a harddrive partition) ive got grub loading the vmlinuz and initrd.. but it goes through and scns the computer. but does not load anything.. any ideas?
[15:59] <B-rabbit> kurt, nothing :)
[15:59] <smacky> sudo apt-get
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash > LHoT
[15:59] <RequinB4> can someone explain what the slashdot effect is?   Will compiz work? I have a Radeon 200m.
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: Did you get that gparted cd to boot?
[16:01] <san|> soundray: still here
[16:01] <crush_groove> sheesh
[16:01] <LHoT> I'm on my doughnut box (go laptops) atm
[16:01] <crush_groove>  got it
[16:02] <RequinB4> Jack_Sparrow - slow conneciton, just finished haven't burned it yet
[16:02] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[16:02] <kurt> it's a memorystick pro duo for psp
[16:02] <amerioz> hey all
[16:02] <nickrud> LHoT, after you get a working fglrx, if you install xserver-xgl, yes
[16:02] <kurt> so it's probably fat
[16:02] <LHoT> kurt, how do you want to mod it?
[16:02] <nickrud> LHoT, but you won't have suspend
[16:02] <Jack_Sparrow> kurt    sudo fdisk -l to find out
[16:02] <kurt> i just want to put some other files on it
[16:03] <saxony> LHoT: check out envy for compiz
[16:03] <amerioz> I've connected my external HDD but I got an error says that "cannot Mount VOlume"
[16:03] <kurt> and delete some
[16:03] <Pici> !envy | LHoT saxony
[16:03] <ubotu> LHoT saxony: envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[16:03] <Dr_willis> kurt,  you just plug it in a reader and mount the thing.. then access it as you would any other device.
[16:03] <Jack_Sparrow> saxony: What...?  no no
[16:03] <saxony> oh ok
[16:03] <Chemicalvamp> whats the file browser? natilus?
[16:03] <nickrud> Chemicalvamp, yes
[16:03] <Pici> Chemicalvamp: In Gnome, yes.
[16:03] <kurt> it's fat32
[16:03] <saxony> Sorry for recommending that then :)
[16:03] <Chemicalvamp> isnt that spelled wrong?
[16:03] <ShadowCall> i did a new install of ubuntu, i had sound but with a high pitched noise over it. I ran some updates to fix this but now ubuntu doesnt recognise my soundcard and says 'No volume control GStreamer plugins and/or devices found.' when i double click the volume option
[16:03] <nickrud> Chemicalvamp, yes, but we figured you knew that :)
[16:04] <amerioz> I've connected my external HDD but I got an error says that "cannot Mount VOlume"... any help?
[16:04] <kurt> i can't delete the files on it
[16:04] <kurt> i have no permission
[16:04] <Dan_> Someone with a moment
[16:04] <smacky> hey mr sparrow where can i get drivers for my new laptop i google it but no answer to find the driver for these new chip sets that are out
[16:04] <Chemicalvamp> !paste>Chemicalvamp
[16:05] <foo25amc> Anyone know of a way to reset all network settings/drivers back to factory settings as such? My wireless network randomly stopped working, and I can't get it working again =/
[16:05] <Dr_willis> kurt,  Now you are getting to the real question then. ;)   if you just want to add/delet things this time. You can use the root user to access the device.
[16:05] <Dr_willis> brb
[16:05] <Jack_Sparrow> smacky: Since you have not told people what kind of laptop and drivers for which device.. I have no idea
[16:05] <tehm0nk> shit forgot that dudes name i was helping him with his Xubuntu + compiz
[16:05] <tehm0nk> mornin Dr_willis
[16:05] <amerioz> I've connected my external HDD but I got an error says that "cannot Mount VOlume"... any help?

[16:06] <ubotu> carlo: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[16:06] <nickrud> amerioz, in a terminal , run tail -f /var/log/syslog (it will spit out the kernel messages about what's going on) then plug the device back in, you might get a decent clue
[16:06] <foo25amc> Pici: I honestly have tried everything I can think of, I even wiped ndiswrapper and reinstalled that with the new driver, and still nothing, reckon I'll have to reinstall Ubuntu?
[16:07] <phenom> One mo again,
[16:07] <Dan_> anyone?
[16:07] <phenom> Any one with experience with rkhunter have a sec to go over a log? Or is my invisibility cloak on again? :)
[16:07] <Pici> foo25amc: If thats not that much of an issue.
[16:07] <nickrud> Dan_, sudo apt-get remove networkmanager , then redo the wicd install
[16:08] <Pici> Dan_: Don't use add/remove, that doesnt show system packages.
[16:08] <m3gach33zy> hey guys.... I have a motorola Q sprint cell phone and i want to be able to load the pics and vids i have onto my laptop via cable... ubuntu doesnt recognize my phone and I didnt see any linux installers for my phone... any ideas?
[16:08] <foo25amc> Pici: I would have done it, only sitting through hours of updates is the part I don't like, plus I have customized everything so much =P
[16:08] <Dan_> do sudo apt-get remove networkmanager in the terminal?
[16:08] <uniqoder> it probably will show up as a usb drive
[16:08] <Jack_Sparrow> phenom: we see you.. just no takers...
[16:08] <Pici> foo25amc: Do you have any specific security on your wifi network?
[16:09] <nickrud> Dan yes, or you can use synaptic to remove it
[16:09] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: have you tried mounting it as a usb hard drive?
[16:09] <Chemicalvamp> Is there a way to view all the drives on your computer the same way as grub sees them? cuz hd0,0 is my flash drive.. and hd0,3 is hda4.... >.<
[16:09] <amerioz> nickrud : from where I can remove it safely? because no icon for that in the taskbar
[16:09] <phenom> Figured I'd give it one more shot, before I get busy today.
[16:09] <m3gach33zy> uniqoder: i cant do anything with it... when i plug my phone it it just charges nothing else occurs
[16:09] <Jack_Sparrow> phenom: np
[16:09] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: find the device under /dev and mount it manually
[16:09] <foo25amc> Pici: A WEP key, however I can't see this affecting it, because just this morning I was surfing the web without any problem, now I can't detect any networks whatsoever
[16:10] <m3gach33zy> uniqoder: thanks i'll give that a try gotta get the cable
[16:10] <verb> hola amigos
[16:10] <verb> :D
[16:10] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: it should be under /dev/usb*
[16:10] <nickrud> amerioz, do  mount   in a terminal   ;  if it's not there you can unplug safely.  If it is,   do sudo unmount <device> , then you can remove it safely
[16:10] <tehm0nk> whats the shortcut to get to the end task think?
[16:10] <tehm0nk> or kill task i should say
[16:10] <Jack_Sparrow> !es > verb
[16:10] <m3gach33zy> thanks
[16:11] <Pici> foo25amc: What if you do `iwlist ethX scanning`  where ethX is your wifi adapter
[16:11] <ader10> Does anybody here use gfire?
[16:11] <Pici> foo25amc: Does it see anything?
[16:11] <amerioz> nickrud: unmount command not found
[16:11] <nickrud> amerioz, sorry typo:  umount
[16:11] <Chemicalvamp> does anybody know how to look up all your computers bus ids?
[16:11] <nickrud> Chemicalvamp, lspci
[16:12] <wonko2> morning folks
[16:12] <foo25amc> Pici: No scan results
[16:12] <ader10> Well, I've made a gfire .deb for amd64 and would like to contribute it... If anybody knows what to do please tell me.
[16:13] <butcherbird> !devel | ader10
[16:13] <wonko2> anyone here have any experience getting the aticonfig tool to actually be useful?
[16:13] <Pici> !newpackage | ader10
[16:13] <Chemicalvamp> nickrud what i had in mind was something to tell me what hda1, hda2... sda2 are listed as
[16:13] <Chemicalvamp> for grub
[16:13] <Pici> foo25amc: Any errors?
[16:13]  * Pici pokes ubotu
[16:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about devel - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[16:13] <ubotu> ader10: The packaging guide is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PackagingGuide - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports
[16:13] <theBishop> hi, my broadcom wireless card won't connect to a WPA network on Gutsy
[16:13] <nickrud> ader10, you could submit it to getdeb.net
[16:13] <amerioz> nickrud : reconnected it now my machine doesnt recognize it :S
[16:13] <grunthus> Chemicalvamp: (hd0,0) etc
[16:13] <zylmak> anyone know ho to setup webmin so perl script work?
[16:13] <Pici> !webmin | zylmak
[16:13] <ubotu> zylmak: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system
[16:14] <nickrud> amerioz, did anything come up in the syslog tail?
[16:14] <foo25amc> Pici: None, it just displayed that message instantly, this is really confusing =S
[16:14] <RequinB4> Ok Jack_Sparrow i've got the CD in
[16:14] <amerioz> nickrud: nah
[16:14] <ader10> Thanks guys, I'll submit it to getdeb since the ubuntu repos are never updated.
[16:14] <Chemicalvamp> grunthus yeah that would be first harddrive first partition... but my flash drive is 0,0 and my harddrive hould be
[16:14] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: power up
[16:14] <zylmak> ubotu is there an equivalent to webmin?
[16:14] <Pici> ader10: Quick question, how did you make the package?
[16:14] <RequinB4> Jack_Sparrow: ha ha.  I'm at the boot options screen
[16:14] <Pici> zylmak: Ubotu is a bot.
[16:14] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: Glad to hear your system works...
[16:14] <zylmak> oh ok
[16:15] <ader10> dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
[16:15] <Pici> foo25amc: What mode does it say that the adapter is in when you use iwconfig?
[16:15] <amerioz> nickrud: sorry yeah , new device added
[16:15] <nickrud> Chemicalvamp, ah,   sudo fdisk -l  will tell you the partitions, but you have to translate:   a = 0 , 1=0  so sdd7 = 3,6
[16:15] <ader10> I'd assume that's the accepted way
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: Now you can breath a bit easier...
[16:15] <foo25amc> Pici: Managed
[16:15] <Pici> ader10: just making sure that it wasn't a checkinstall.
[16:15] <ader10> ok
[16:15] <RequinB4> RequinB4:  Well, yes and no.  I'd still prefer to boot a OS
[16:15] <nickrud> amerio, k, does it give a device identifier, like /dev/sdb or such?
[16:15] <grunthus> Chemicalvamp: think that sdXX would be (hd1, ??
[16:16] <RequinB4> I can boot off any partition from here and run a bunch of Gparted stuff
[16:16] <kurt> since i use kubuntu that will be another command right
[16:16] <grunthus> Chemicalvamp: prob. not a good idea to get wrong. Check man grub
[16:16] <Pici> foo25amc: If you set the ssid manually `sudo iwconfig ethX essid "yourssid"`  does it associate?
[16:16] <kurt> like something with konqueror
[16:16] <amerioz> nickrud: Nop
[16:16] <nickrud> amerioz, could you put the stuff that came when you plugged it in on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org ?
[16:16] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: 7.10 live not booting does not cause me concern...  feisty worked on more computers...   do you still have that other livecd around...
[16:17] <m3gach33zy> I plugged my phone in and under the device manager it shows motorola is plugged in but everything is unknown about it what should i do?
[16:17] <Chemicalvamp> grunthus my usb key is hd0,0 and hd0,3 is hda4
[16:17] <RequinB4> Jack_Sparrow yes i have 7.10
[16:17] <amerioz> nickrud: hold on
[16:17] <nickrud> amerioz, if you're not sure where it started, please redo the experiment, to be sure you get it all
[16:17] <foo25amc> Pici: It doesn't appear to do anything
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: I have the alternate 7.10 for doing my installs....  live didnt work as often as I would have liked.
[16:18] <intelikey> who knows the command to power down an hdd ?
[16:18] <m3gach33zy> uniqoder: can you tell me how to mount my phone exactly? i'm not sure what you ment by that
[16:18] <amerioz> nickrud: done i pasted it
[16:18] <nickrud> amerioz, could you tell me the link :)
[16:18] <Pici> foo25amc: I'm not sure what to suggest at this point,.
[16:18] <RequinB4> Jack_Sparrow - heh, at this point i just want an OS
[16:18] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: You can use gparted live that you have to verify your partitions are still intact on the problem box of yours
[16:18] <RequinB4> well that sucks
[16:18] <amerioz> nickrud: ops I closed it lol
[16:18] <RequinB4> booting Gparted gives me the same moniter error
[16:19] <amerioz> nickrud: let me do it again
[16:19] <amerioz> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49484/
[16:19] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: There are several option you can use at start or install...  after hitting F6t
[16:19] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: lose the t
[16:19] <nickrud> amerioz, do  ls /media/sdb1
[16:20] <amerioz> nickrud: no such file or directory
[16:20] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: Did you check for lose connections and / or reseat the card.. make sure system is unplugged not just turned off
[16:20] <RequinB4> Jack_Sparrow: Yeah, i looked at that...  I'm not sure what is the problem though, every OS i've loaded on here says the same error - "Out of range, set moniter to 1280x1024"
[16:20] <RequinB4> Jack_Sparrow - haven't touched hardware yet
[16:20] <nickrud> amerioz, hm, the kernel said it found it, do ls /dev/sd* , do you see sdb1 in there?
[16:21] <RequinB4> Cept to change the moniter Jack_Sparrow
[16:21] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: Sounds like it is time to get out the screwdriver
[16:21] <foo25amc> Pici: Odd, I tried manual settings via Network Manager there, and it's showing the signal strength now as zero and telling me "Wireless network connection to 'linksys' (0%)"
[16:21] <RequinB4> Great
[16:21] <amerioz> nickrud: yeah I see sdb1
[16:21] <RequinB4> Anyway thanks for your help Jack_Sparrow.  Worst comes to worst i have another, depricated video card
[16:21] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: remember, unplug, and give it a minute
[16:21] <m3gach33zy> Can someone tell me how to make my phone install onto my computer?  I'm trying to take pics and vids off teh phone via usb cable anyone help?
[16:21] <nickrud> amerioz, ok, now  mount  ,   do you see   /dev/sdb1   in there
[16:21] <Chemicalvamp> so if i install gutsy on a harddrive and move it into another laptop what are the odds it will work?
[16:22] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: Wish it was better news
[16:22] <amerioz> nickrud: how do I mount ?
[16:22] <nickrud> amerioz, if you just type mount in a terminal, it will list all the mounted devices
[16:22] <foo25amc> Pici: Sorry about that, the internet stopping working after trying manual settings =S
[16:22] <Pici> foo25amc: Heh.
[16:22] <foo25amc> Pici: Looks like a reinstallation
[16:23] <Pici> foo25amc: Sorry :(
[16:23] <foo25amc> Pici: At least it's not as bad as Windows... I've reinstalled it roughly 20-30 times in the last year =/
[16:23] <amerioz> nickrud: cannot see sdb1
[16:23] <nickrud> Chemicalvamp, perty darn good, you may need to run dpkg dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg in recovery mode to get X but that's about it
[16:23] <Pici> foo25amc: Thats just insane.
[16:24] <RequinB4> Jack_Sparrow - I'm less versed in hardware, but i'll check for loose connections later -.-  I'm just lucky I have my laptop.  Thanks for helping me figure out what WASN'T going wrong >.>
[16:24] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: We do our best at hardware issues too..
[16:24] <nickrud> amerioz, ok, then   type    sudo mount /dev/sdb1 -text3 /mnt     , then    ls /mnt  , see if you see your files
[16:25] <nickrud> amerioz, erm, what kind of partition is your external, it might not be ext3
[16:25] <foo25amc> Pici: Exactly... It constantly seems to corrupt itself somehow, I've been using Windows for the last 10 years, but I can't keep it working on this laptop no matter what. Thanks for the help anyway, I guess I'll begin with the reinstallation. Do you reckon it'd be easier to install 7.04 and download 7.10 while I wait and upgrade using the 7.10 disk I burn?
[16:25] <RequinB4> Jack_Sparrow - well, would you say it would be a connection problem or a video card problem?  I'd assume it isn't the moniter because i've changed it to no avail
[16:25] <amerioz> nickrud : mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdb1,
[16:25] <Pici> foo25amc: Its up to you. Its always better to do a fresh installation than to upgrade though.
[16:25] <nickrud> amerioz, yeah, it's probably ntfs , right?
[16:25] <amerioz> nickrud: yeah ntfs
[16:26] <nickrud> amerioz, ok, then   type    sudo mount /dev/sdb1 -tntfs /mnt     , then    ls /mnt  , see if you see your files
[16:26] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: Since you have a spare card. no matter how lame.. and you have switched monitors.. you should try that...
[16:26] <amerioz> nickrud: got 2 choices
[16:26] <Chemicalvamp> nickrud you should say that again and separate the differnt commands so i dont mess up
[16:26] <nickrud> amerioz, choices?
[16:26] <Dan_> ok, install worked, network is seen, but it won't connect
[16:26] <tehm0nk> does photoshop work in ubuntu?
[16:27] <foo25amc> Pici: I'm going to do a fresh installation, just wondering would it be quicker to install all the updates via Update Manager and upgrade using it, or download a copy of 7.10 for the upgrade
[16:27] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: Reseating the card can do wonders....   make sure power is off, pull the card wipe the edge with non-static cloth and reinsert
[16:27] <Pici> foo25amc: Quicker to just download 7.10
[16:27] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: do you know what usb port # you plugged your device into?
[16:27] <nickrud> Chemicalvamp, typing too fast , sorry:   sudo  dpkg-reconfigure -pcritical xserver-xorg
[16:27] <amerioz> nickrud: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49485/
[16:27] <Chemicalvamp> all one command?
[16:28] <RequinB4> Jack_Sparrow, yeah, but what i don't understand is why it should have stopped working now.  My comp screwdrivers are not with me atm, so i'm stuck conjecturing...  Thanks very much, i'll fiddle with it.
[16:28] <foo25amc> Pici: Ok, thanks very much for all your help, greatly appriciated, hopefully I'll cya around ;)
[16:28] <Jack_Sparrow> RequinB4: Also check cooling fans while you are in there...  I have seen inch thick dust and even dead mice in computers..
[16:29] <RequinB4> Ouch
[16:29] <Dan_> is there still a conflict with the WMP53G wireless cards?
[16:29] <nickrud> amerioz, ok,   check to be sure it's not mounted   ( mount  in a terminal ) then reboot to windows, plug it in, let windows fix it. Sorry, but I don't trust linux ntfs tools that much
[16:29] <amerioz> nickrud : dont have windows :)
[16:29] <nickrud> amerioz, windows should clear up any issues with the partition , then you can use it again in linux
[16:31] <nickrud> amerioz, hm. I am really reluctant to walk you through fixing an ntfs partition, I have little to no experience there and fear I could destroy your data thru ignorance
[16:31] <Dan_> and another question is, when I am not using onboard video, ubuntu won't even load
[16:31] <mular> hey I use a magnavox 19in hdtv as a monitor.. everytime I log into ubuntu it is off center and I have to go into menu to auto pic setup.. anyway to get ubuntu to always use the right settings or something?
[16:32] <amerioz> nickrud: let me restart maybe it will work
[16:32] <nickrud> amerioz, I would suggest asking for help, saying something about unable to mount ntfs partition because it's in use, and use that pastbin link in the post
[16:32] <m3gach33zy> anyone help with a motorola q sprint cell phone?  I need to take pics and vids off the phone via usb cable and ubuntu wont open it up any help?
[16:32] <Dan_> so, when switching between windows and ubuntu, I have to physically switch where my monitor is plugged in
[16:32] <regis_> hello,where can i find the logs of the mount for ntfs3g?
[16:33] <nickrud> Dan_, if you don't use the onboard at all, try disabling it in bios
[16:33] <Dan_> nichrud, if I do that, Ubuntu freezes on startup
[16:33] <KindOne> I have Xubuntu 7.10, I'm new to linux, When i click Applications > Accesories > Terminal, The computer restarts, Can someone help me with this?
[16:34] <m3gach33zy> uniqoder: no i'm not sure sorry
[16:35] <\`slushpuppy`\> everyone put o{| at start of yuor name and join #o{| !!
[16:35] <Dr_willis>  KindOne  thats.... weird...
[16:35] <\`slushpuppy`\> sorry
[16:35] <Rabiddog> wow I locked up with a load of 22.03 on my system
[16:35] <\`slushpuppy`\> on xchat screwed up
[16:35] <Pici> !offtopic | \`slushpuppy`\
[16:35] <ubotu> \`slushpuppy`\: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[16:35] <Dan_> it's a radeon 9250, and I saw there were problems with it before for other people, but everyone got it to work. I'm not having the same luck
[16:35] <KindOne> I know....
[16:35] <Rabiddog> had to use the power button, since kill -9 wouldn't work
[16:35] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: do a tail on your syslog and plug in the phone
[16:35] <Dr_willis> KindOne,  try alt-f2 and run 'xterm'   Im wondering if your system dont have some serious issues.
[16:36] <amerio> nickrud: now I can see it but its unmounted
[16:36] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: you should see a log entry that says usb device plugged in or something like that
[16:36] <m3gach33zy> uniqoder: not sure how to do a tail
[16:36] <nickrud> amerio, where do you see it?
[16:36] <amerio> nickrud: in the computer window
[16:36] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: what dist are you running?
[16:36] <KindOne> ok, i got a program open "jj@jj-desktop:~"
[16:36] <amerio> nickrud: & places
[16:36] <m3gach33zy> 7.10
[16:37] <m3gach33zy> gusty
[16:37] <nickrud> Dan_, hm, try lspci | grep -i vga  and put the output on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org , also /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[16:37] <m3gach33zy> uniqoder: sorry i'm new to ubuntu and linux :(
[16:37] <nickrud> amerio, when you click it, does it mount?
[16:37] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: i see :)
[16:37] <amerio> nickrud: nop , unable 2 mount
[16:37] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: do you know how to open a terminal?
[16:37] <regis_> how do i remove a package with its dependencies?
[16:38] <nickrud> amerio, same problem then, I'm sure. try that mount command again in a terminal
[16:38] <m3gach33zy> uniqoder: yep
[16:38] <Dan_> nickrud: you got anything for the wireless malfunction too?
[16:38] <KindOne> Dr_willis, what do you think is wrong with my terminal ?
[16:38] <amerio> nickrud: how would windows fix it?
[16:38] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: open a terminal and type tail -f /etc/log/syslog
[16:38] <m3gach33zy> uniqoder:
[16:39] <m3gach33zy> tail: cannot open `/etc/log/syslog' for reading: No such file or directory
[16:39] <m3gach33zy> tail: no files remaining
[16:39] <nickrud> Dan_, heh. I can't believe I'm doing hardware here, and wireless is sooo far over my head. I used the restricted driver for my bcm43xx and it worked, and I gave thanks to the ubuntu gods :)
[16:39] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: tail -f /var/log/syslog
[16:39] <m3gach33zy> uniqoder: okay got a big nice list of wow here lol
[16:39] <Dr_willis> KindOne,  if you can get an xterm going you could try typing in 'gnome-terminal' and see if it still crashes
[16:39] <KindOne> ok
[16:40] <nickrud> amerio, I don't know, I was serious about not knowing much about ntfs
[16:40] <Dan_> nickrud: but it's not like it's not "working". It see's my networks, it just won't connect.
[16:40] <amerio> nickrud: as soon as its connected 2 windows then reconnect it to linux it will work?
[16:40] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: good plug in the phone
[16:40] <nickrud> Dan_, same thing on the software end.
[16:41] <nickrud> amerio, I'd follow the instructions the mount command gave
[16:41] <nickrud> amerio, I'm a slave to documentation, I figure the software writers normally know what they are doing
[16:42] <Steve2> hello
[16:42] <m3gach33zy> uniqoder: sorry lost connection
[16:42] <m3gach33zy> uniqoder: the command i last typed in gave me a big list of dates times and stuff that has happened

[16:44] <bulmer> _delirium-> one can install from via network, using pxe, but thats broadcasting arp and stuff, you dont do arp in the internet
[16:45] <slugone> whenever i ut a dvd in my drive...it gets mounted but then when i try to play a dvd i get an error message
[16:45] <slugone> put*
[16:45] <_delirium> bulmer: yeah, I know about PXE I wanted more a bootstrap floppy and then download and install from the web - I have done this with FreeBSD in the past and was hoping Ubuntu would have a similar option?
[16:46] <laughzilla> erUSUL - i got it (i think) ... b/c i have only 2 pci slots in my box, i had to remove my sound card to insert the IEEE card. anyway i've managed to capture the video and save it as a .SMIL file via kino ...

[16:46] <h00s> hi. how to clone 2 identical systems with 2 identical hard drives (ubuntu server 7.10)? i done dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc. it works with both hard drives on system1. when i put one of the hard drives to system2, network does not work. should i delete /proc, or /sys on system2 or something like that?
[16:46] <Steve2> thx
[16:46] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: np
[16:47] <amerio> nickrud: its working now =)
[16:47] <laughzilla> erUSUL - btw i got kino "working" (afaik) by doing:   sudo chmod -R 766 /dev/raw1394 and then restarting kino.
[16:47] <nickrud> amerio, what did you do?
[16:47] <amerio> nickrud: noth , just unplugged it and tried the other usb slot ..
[16:47] <nickrud> amerio, lol, i would have never thought of that
[16:47] <m3gach33zy> uniqoder: lol i cant become the root user.... authentication failed
[16:47] <nickrud> amerio, but I will remember it :)
[16:48] <laughzilla> so now i'll reboot my box with my sound card in it and see if the sound and video captured ok. then i need to export it to something like .mpg or something i can stick on the web for someone to grab/view easily.
[16:48] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: use your root password
[16:48] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: is this your pc?
[16:48] <amerio> nickrud: my webcam only works in 1 usb slot and doesnt work on others , my pc is a weirdo :)
[16:48] <m3gach33zy> uniqoder: yeah and i'm typing in the password i use for this comp everyday
[16:49] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: did you install ubuntu or is it the live cd?
[16:49] <m3gach33zy> uniqoder: installed by me
[16:49] <bazhang> uniqoder: you know ubuntu doesn't use the root, right?
[16:49] <amerio> nickrud: btw thanx for trying mate :)
[16:49] <NelsonUWP> is there an ebay template thing for linux?
[16:49] <nickrud> amerio, np, I learn something every time I log on here

[16:53] <Andeh> Hi. I have a laptop with XP and Ubuntu installed. I plan to give this laptop to my friend tomorrow as a christmas present. I need to make a backup of the entire hard disk, everything, and then format it and install Windows XP and some stuff for him. What would be the best way to back it up, the command "dd"?
[16:53] <Gorion|Laptop> install ubuntu ;)
[16:53] <Andeh> Meh
[16:53] <Andeh> I tried debating with him on that

[16:54] <webairaaron> how do i connect my IRC client to another server say irc.me.com
[16:54] <MihaiG> sorry, he messed up his partition, what can he do?
[16:54] <Pici> !compile | jftsang
[16:55] <ubotu> jftsang: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[16:55] <Andeh> MihaiG: He can learn from his mistakes, or hope he didn't format it.
[16:55] <webairaaron> u need gcc or build essential

[16:56] <forsaken> is ubuntu's fast version of init still being actively developed? (and considered for integration?)
[16:56] <nickrud> jftsang, system->admin->software sources, select the first 4 items

[16:56] <Andeh> If I use the command "dd if=/dev/hda1 of=/home/hda1.bin" to backup an entire hard disk, will the MBR come with it, or will I need to copy it seperately?

[16:57] <Pici> uniqoder: hm?
[16:57] <noogen> MihaiG: did it use to be one windows partition?
[16:57] <m3gach33zy> uniqoder: sorry to bother again but i'm sorta stuck at this part in the tutorial...  where i'm typing in dmesg | grep -i "SCSI device" nothing happens
[16:57] <uniqoder> Pici: ur answers are short and sweet
[16:57] <intelikey> ooops i think i shouldn't have issued    hdparm -Y /dev/hdc  ... </blinks>

[16:57] <cruox> How do I add my regular user to the vboxusers group?
[16:57] <kikdadog> now when i hit the file it states io urbanterroer.exe cannot be opened
[16:57] <webairaaron> maybe IDE
[16:57] <forsaken> nickrud, awesome!
[16:57] <Andeh> lolek is weird...
[16:58] <noogen> darn he quit already woopse
[16:58] <nickrud> forsaken, you can see it's config in /etc/event.d
[16:58] <bulmer> cruox-> use -G option to adduser or edit the /etc/passwd file
[16:58] <kikdadog> what do i open the exe file with???
[16:58] <intelikey> cruox man groupadd   or man useradd   there's also a gui way. as well as editing dirrectly the groups file.
[16:58] <rgnr> any1 heard of torrentflux?
[16:59] <Pici> kikdadog: You'll need to use Wine, exe files are for Windows.
[16:59] <Pici> !wine| kikdadog
[16:59] <ubotu> kikdadog: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[16:59] <nickrud> cruox, easiest is sudo adduser <usr> <group>
[16:59] <intelikey> bulmer not passwd.  groups
[16:59] <bazhang> rgnr: no? what is it? is it part of ubuntu?
[16:59] <white_eagle> !ping
[16:59] <ubotu> pong
[16:59] <foo25> Pici: 70% reinstalled =P
[16:59] <butcherbird> kikdadog: a .exe file is typically an widows file. you can try to run this with wine but usually youre better off looking for a linux equivalent of the app
[16:59] <kikdadog> no wine its a native game
[16:59] <bulmer> intelikey-> you are right..am half awake
[16:59] <h00s> how to clone 2 identical systems with 2 identical hard drives (ubuntu server 7.10)? i done dd if=/dev/sdb of=/dev/sdc. it works with both hard drives on system1. when i put one of the hard drives to system2, network does not work. should i delete /proc, or /sys on system2 or something like that?
[17:00] <Pici> kikdadog: But exe files are *not* for linux, they are for Windows only.
[17:00] <Andeh> Question: if I backup my laptop's hard disk to an external USB hard disk using "dd if=/dev/hda of=laptop.bin", that will backup all partitions, the mbr, etc, and I will be able to restore it using "dd if=laptop.bin of=/dev/hda", right?
[17:00] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: did you plugin the phone?
[17:00] <m3gach33zy> Yeah
[17:00] <kikdadog> ok then maybe change the file name
[17:00] <m3gach33zy> at the lsusb command it showed motorola pcs
[17:00] <butcherbird> Andeh: yeah you might pipe that to gzip or something to compress it on usb drive
[17:00] <m3gach33zy> and i have the directory on the desktop now
[17:00] <bulmer> Andeh-> you can try a small partition or large enuff directory to try it out..and see the result
[17:01] <Andeh> Hmm.
[17:01] <intelikey> h00s heh. no.   you should correct /etc/modules  or /etc/modprobe.d/*  to load the correct module for your hardware.
[17:01] <m3gach33zy> the step afterwards doesnt work
[17:01] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: ok good copy/paste the line in here
[17:01] <kikdadog> anybody play urban terror in here
[17:01] <m3gach33zy> dmesg | grep -i "SCSI device"
[17:01] <m3gach33zy> Bus 003 Device 004: ID 22b8:7001 Motorola PCS
[17:01] <Andeh> another question, once having sucessfully backed up an entire hard drive into a file, how can I read its contents without filling a real hard disk with the files contents?
[17:01] <Andeh> *using dd
[17:02] <bazhang> kikdadog: join #ubuntu-offtopic
[17:02] <h00s> intelikey: not really if the computers are totally identical, which they are. same motherboards, same hardware
[17:02] <kikdadog> thanks
[17:03] <Pici> Andeh: You should be able to using `mount -o loop=/path/to/file -t filesystemtype /moun/point, just like you would an ISO

[17:09] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: so you need to figure out what device your phone is on and change the mount command to include that device
[17:09] <uniqoder> m3gach33zy: its very hard to figure this out in an irc channel
[17:09] <chazco> If its a USB Nova-T then that'll get most of the remote working immediatly

[17:13] <the_darkside_986> i think you just need to push Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart X for xorg changes to take effect. but if u install a new gfx driver then u have to restart the system

[17:16] <BRATiK> where i can find the logs of this channel??
[17:16] <nickrud> casey__, and really, there's no reason to change to 64bit unless you're doing some real strong number crunching on software written for 64bits

[17:21] <jftsang> OK. I have another problem: How do I extract .zip files? Or can I not?
[17:21] <eshat> are there any testservers that i can connect to with VNC or RDP ???
[17:21] <jftsang> (via the command line)
[17:21] <bulmer> zerak-> here is what you do, open your webbrowser, type in www.google.com and then search for ubuntu tutorials
[17:21] <crush_groove> jftsang,  atr -xvf < file>
[17:21] <crush_groove> no
[17:21] <crush_groove> jftsang, tar -xvf <file
[17:22] <bulmer> jftsang-> you can use jar instead of tar,
[17:22] <jftsang> crush_groove: tried that, but it said it was not a tar

[17:26] <TheNo1Yeti> Anyone know of any good streaming software?  I have a linux server with a OCx connection and I am working on becoming a DJ.  I want to start doing webcasts.  I have the software I need on my computer to stream from there but that won't support more than a few listeners.  Need a way to stream to my server and have it stream out to listeners from there.
[17:26] <bazhang> Eyemean: seems safe
[17:27] <temujin> bazhang: thx ;
[17:27] <Eyemean> bazhang, yeah it seems ok, but i think they said it was command line , which im crap at i hope it gui
[17:27] <bazhang> Eyemean: if you look at that link I gave you, there is a gui as well
[17:28] <Eyemean> yep sorry ur right, it didnt scroll down yet was reading the forum
[17:28] <Eyemean> bazhang, cheers
[17:28] <bulmer> TheNo1Yeti-> OCx connections? umm what kind of nic card do you have to support that?
[17:28] <bazhang> Eyemean: no worries ! :}
[17:28] <TheNo1Yeti> It's a colocated server.
[17:29] <blwrh> Can you install a debian pkg in ubuntu?
[17:29] <crush_groove> colocated = thier resources + your access?
[17:29] <TheNo1Yeti> Yea
[17:29] <TheNo1Yeti> I pay them to house the server and use their data link
[17:29] <bulmer> TheNo1Yeti-> okay, you dont have really have OCx connectivity then ..
[17:29] <crush_groove> not recommended blwrh
[17:30] <B-rabbit> blwrh, ubuntu is based on debian, so yer u can
[17:30] <Pici> !debian | blwrh
[17:30] <ubotu> blwrh: Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[17:31] <zerak> Hey if anyone can help me please pm me
[17:32] <bazhang> zerak: what is your question? better to do it here and share with the community
[17:33] <B-rabbit> bazhang, scroll up...
[17:33] <rrva> I want to run ubuntu packages on top of a etch system. I am considering virtualization, user-mode linux or similar or chroot. I want best possible performance. What do you recommend?
[17:33] <B-rabbit> he has already asked
[17:33] <zerak> hey ok, i installed ubuntu on my one pc today bazhang, but it doesnt seem to pick up my external hdd
[17:33] <kazim59> I'm not able to make my ubuntu connect to wifi network at my home.... it keeps saying "unassociated ESSID..."
[17:33] <bazhang> sorry B-rabbit; not paying attention
[17:33] <bazhang> zerak: how is the external hdd formatted?
[17:34] <bazhang> kazim59: you need to associate the AP
[17:34] <zerak> bazhang: ntfs i think it worked fine with xp
[17:34] <GHOST> zerak hey ubuntu is da best :) try to mount the hdd
[17:35] <bazhang> zerak: certainly it would--do you have ntfs-g installed?
[17:35] <zerak> hey ghost! if only i knew how lol
[17:35] <Andeh> Question
[17:35] <GHOST> lol
[17:35] <blwrh> So if my options are a debian package or source, I should go with source
[17:35] <zerak> whats that bazhang, sorry im stupid

[17:36] <timrit> good day everyone. i was wondering if there is a way to move a running script in a cli to a screen session without stopping it.
[17:36] <kazim59> bazhang: where do I know the ap of my device?
[17:36] <Tu13es> so, i i installed 7.10 on my cousin's computer yesterday and it's locking up regularly.  where do I start?
[17:36] <adaminla> I get a message that says; run dpkg --configure -a and I typed this into my terminal but terminal said no such command found. Do I need to type *run* also and if so where? beginning or end of phrase?
[17:36] <zerak> man im confused
[17:36] <bazhang> kazim59: the ap (or AP) is the access point--your wireless router in this case--you own it right?
[17:37] <Andeh> I need to backup a 30 GB partition to my external hard drive, but the external drive is FAT and the max filesize is 4 GB. What can I do?
[17:37] <kazim59> bazhang: yes I do own it.. but I know little about wireless networks :)
[17:37] <bazhang> !find ntfs
[17:37] <ubotu> Found: libntfs-3g-dev, libntfs-3g12, libntfs-dev, libntfs9, ntfs-3g (and 4 others)

[17:38] <bazhang> kazim59: you set it up?
[17:38] <qcode> Is anyone running Xen?
[17:38] <kazim59> bazhang: no I didn't.. But I've access to it.
[17:38] <zerak> ok bazhang will it work for my hdd that works with usb?
[17:38] <bazhang> zerak: if you read that, then you will understand a bit more; you install the package and that should do it
[17:38] <Konam> kazim59 what's your problem exactly, maybe i can help you
[17:39] <bazhang> zerak: are you a speed reader? :}
[17:39] <kazim59> Konam: unassociated ESSID ... iwconfig seems not to associate it... eth0
[17:39] <kazim59> Konam: so I'm not able to connect my ubuntu laptop to wireless network.. while the mac is connected without probs
[17:40] <cockroach> hi. i have a small question: if i'm logged in as userA and userB at the same time and connect a usb mass storage device, only userA has permission to access that device. is there a way to set access rights to their common group?
[17:40] <bazhang> kazim59: best listen to Konam; he's a pro on this sort of stuff :}
[17:40] <zerak> lol NO!  but my flash disk doesnt work either?

If you want to be taken more seriously, please bother to type out the extra letters in "you".  The same goes for "why", "because", "anyone", and so on..
[17:42] <kazim59> Konam: iwconfig doesn't show any wlan. It only shows one interface with wireless extensions.. which it calls eth1

[17:42] <kevin12345> Hi folks, I just installed Ubuntu Gutsy server edition on a laptop of mine.  It boots, SSHD works, Apache works, the Samba server works, things are looking good.  The problem is that when I connect a monitor to the computer I notice that there is no login terminal (I can only access the thing through SSH), in fact, after Grub, it's as if my keyboard doesn't work.  In addition, poweroff and reboot do not work (same with init 0).  The
[17:42] <bazhang> zerak: lets take one problem at a time ok? :}
[17:43] <bulmer> zerak-> isnt it fun? reading some tutorials, trying things out..
[17:43] <jgoo> anyone else use screem xhtml editor? I am curious if they have the same file system viewer bug (ctrl-f4 to see the file viewer but by default it shows)
[17:43] <quittt> how do I change my network MAC code?
[17:43] <zerak> bazhang: ok...
[17:43] <Konam> kazim59 can you see your wireless network?
[17:43] <Andeh> I need to backup a HUGE partition to my external hard drive, but the external drive is VFAT and doesnt support large files. Can I split them, how?
[17:43] <jgoo> quittt: it is hardwired into the hardware AFAIK unless you are using a specific card which can have it chanegd (for simulation mode, or a software NIC )
[17:43] <bazhang> zerak: why not read that link I gave you first? then we will have some common ground and you can ask more informed questions :}
[17:43] <bulmer> kazim59-> its okay to have a wireless nic name with eth1
[17:43] <timrit> good day everyone. i was wondering if there is a way to move a running script in a cli to a screen session without stopping it.
[17:44] <kazim59> Konam: yes... iwlist eth1 scanning gives me details about that network!
[17:44] <bazhang> quittt: spoof a MAC address? that is not really an ubuntu question...
[17:44] <bulmer> Andeh-> man csplit
[17:44] <Konam> Andeh it's not needed, just install ntfs support, or format the entire disk to ext3 ;)
[17:44] <white_eagle> what does moodbar do?
[17:45] <zerak> bazhang: If only I understand what it meant, I only know windows...
[17:45] <kevin12345> lots of questions flying by here.  Is there a protocol for asking a question/getting it answered?
[17:45] <bulmer> quittt-> its not too difficult really, you use iproute2 tools  ip command
[17:45] <Andeh> Konam: How would installing NTFS support help? The external hard disk is full of stuff and formated as FAT
[17:45] <Konam> kazim59 I mean, can you see you network listed through network-manager?
[17:45] <bazhang> white_eagle: are you in proximity of a prominent search engine? :}
[17:45] <oddworld> using flash on gutsy. my flash vido and audio are out of sync in firefox. any ideas?
[17:45] <white_eagle> bazhang: oh, yeah, googl
[17:45] <Andeh> bulmer: The problem is I dont have anwhere to put the file before copying it onto my external hard disk.
[17:45] <bazhang> zerak: thus the need to read a bit first :}
[17:45] <Andeh> bulmer: I would need to put it directly on there, except I cant
[17:46] <Konam> Andeh linux support vfat, AND the 4GB limit is just to ONE file, not one entire partition as you're saying
[17:46] <bulmer> Andeh-> thats why backing up files is a major effort, one needs to plan for it..resources must be reserve and such
[17:46] <zerak> !find ntfs
[17:46] <ubotu> Found: libntfs-3g-dev, libntfs-3g12, libntfs-dev, libntfs9, ntfs-3g (and 4 others)
[17:46] <Andeh> Konam: Hmm. Can I pipe dd into csplit?
[17:47] <bulmer> Andeh-> thats why sys admin gets treated with respect, companies will lose massive data if back up is not done properly and managed
[17:47] <kazim59> Konam: can't find this network manager
[17:47] <oddworld> so does anyone know why my flash would be out of sybc?
[17:47] <oddworld> **sync
[17:47] <Andeh> Yeah, but I need to have all this stuff off the laptop before tomorrow so I can give it as a present
[17:47] <bazhang> zerak: you looking for that link?
[17:47] <chazco> Hi... how can I install the restricted nvidia driver from the terminal?
[17:47] <zerak> bazhang: yes
[17:47] <Andeh> So, does anyone know anything I can do?
[17:47] <bulmer> kazim59-> what are you trying to do?
[17:48] <bulmer> Andeh->  i suggest getting an external drive ..
[17:48] <kazim59> bulmer: connect my laptop to wifi network and use the internet.
[17:48] <Andeh> bulmer: The drive IS AN EXTERNAL DRIVE.
[17:49] <bulmer> kazim59-> you can detect the AP essid?
[17:49] <bazhang> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions zerak
[17:49] <bulmer> Andeh-> as big as the one inside the laptop?
[17:49] <timrit> Andeh: you may have to format it to a different file system.
[17:49] <Andeh> timrit: Oh. This sucks.
[17:49] <kevin12345> anyone know why I cannot reboot/power off my ubuntu install and why local terminal input doesn't work?
[17:50] <Andeh> Maybe I can just copy the files themselves over
[17:50] <Andeh> That would suck, and take ages, but better than nothing.
[17:50] <nivis> anyone know where there is some info on gtk theming?
[17:50] <Andeh> I am trying to copy my windows partiton over
[17:50] <kazim59> bulmer: I  know the ESSID. I
[17:50] <bulmer> Andeh-> besides, you only need to backup user data and should not backup system files..
[17:50] <kazim59> bulmer: there's a password too .. that I know.
[17:51] <Andeh> bulmer: Yes, but we're dealing with Windows here. Totally different issue.
[17:51] <NoorulIslaam> kevin12345, we know exactly as much as you do
[17:51] <Andeh> On linux I just copied over my home dir, but windows... noo...
[17:51] <NoorulIslaam> kevin12345, rather, we know exactly as much as you've told us
[17:51] <bulmer> kazim59-> has it associate to it yet? try without the encrypted version first, ie make the AP open at first
[17:51] <Andeh> bulmer: So, you're saying I should just copy over "Documents and Settings"?
[17:51] <mavi-> Andeh: dont do a FS backup then
[17:51] <mavi-> Andeh: file copy isnt that much slower =)
[17:51] <bulmer> Andeh yes, only important settings and user data
[17:51] <MarcoPau> hello, my wifi router should be a 108 mbits but iwconfig says it's going at 54. what am I supposed to do?
[17:52] <Odd-rationale> Andeh: Doesn't windows have a backup utility? Why not use that?
[17:52] <Andeh> mavi-: Yeah... should I just guess that I don't have ANYTHING important stored outside of there?
[17:52] <kevin12345> Noorulislaam:  thanks for the response.  if you were running into this problem, what info would you try to get in order to solve it?
[17:52] <Andeh> odd-rationale: Because the windows I have installed is so ****ed up it takes 27 minutes to boot up, literally.
[17:52] <kazim59> bulmer: no avail.. it just doesn't associate!
[17:52] <nivis> MarcoPau: you need some crappy windows drivers to run at over 54mb
[17:52] <mavi-> Andeh: if you dont care about the windows settings and stuff then the docs and settings is all you need
[17:52] <Andeh> mavi-: Ah. Good then.
[17:52] <pvh_sa> heya... i've got edubuntu gutsy installed, and sometimes an app "greys out" on me - i.e. the window goes grey and freezes. what's that about? seems to happen with firefox, media players, etc...
[17:52] <mavi-> Andeh: that includes desktop / my docs and those
[17:52] <Andeh> Yeah
[17:52] <Odd-rationale> Andeh: I see...
[17:52] <Andeh> But knowing me, i have crap stored in all sorts of places
[17:53] <MarcoPau> nivis: already using ndiswrapper for this usb antenna
[17:53] <kazim59> I can also see some ipw2200 errors talking about my card.
[17:53] <Andeh> I just wanted to be sure before formatting
[17:53] <bastid_raZor> windows doesn't support gigabit ethernet?
[17:53] <jftsang> OK. Another problem: I cannot run sudo apt-file update. It claims that I am missing a .gz file, can I download that anywhere?
[17:54] <Andeh> My documents and settings folder seems to be huge
[17:54] <Andeh> If I remember its something like 10 GB
[17:54] <Andeh> The other 20 GB must be software then...
[17:55] <nivis> MarcoPau: i'd just stick with 54mb anything obove that is just compressed anyway
[17:55] <sarixe> hi, i was transferring a whole bunch of stuff from my computer to my ipod classic 160gb, as regular files, because i need to transfer them to another computer.  in the middle of this, it froze, and so i had to kill nautilus after waiting about five minutes for it to become responsive, which it never did.  Afterwards, i ejected the ipod safely, upon which it crashed, attempted to reboot itself, and now it won't turn on at all.  Wh
[17:55] <sarixe> at happened, and how do i fix it?

[17:57] <Andeh> orionr: Windows?
[17:57] <orionr> Andeh: for linux.

[17:59] <casey__> thanks
[17:59] <Andeh> orionr: I think you can run it under Crossover Office
[17:59] <bazhang> orionr: I use amarok
[17:59] <orionr> k ill try that out
[17:59] <kevin12345> Hi Folks!  I have an Ubuntu Gutsy server install on my laptop and cannot get terminal input to work from the local keyboard.  The only access that I can get to the OS is through SSH/Samba/Apache/other services.  In addition (and this may be related or unrelated) reboot/init 6 and poweroff/init 0 seem to put the OS into runlevel 0 (services do shutdown) but it never actually reboots or powers off.
[17:59] <Andeh> You have to pay to use Crossover, but by the licensing of Crossover, you can legally use your friend's Crossover license to run it.
[17:59] <BRATiK> Audacious the best player
[17:59] <bazhang> casey__: you can also install the packages.ubuntu.com search feature in firefox
[17:59] <etghn> The configure in a package I want gives an error.  How to proceed?
[18:00] <etghn> How do I search a package in apt-get
[18:00] <sarixe> orionr: if you want to use linux to work with your ipod, you'll have to compile libgpod 0.6.0 and the latest gtkpod, amarok, or whatever.

[18:01] <butcherbird> KindOne: tar xfvj filename
[18:01] <erisco> how can I use "tar" or something similar to backup files that are only under 20MB ?
[18:01] <sarixe> Andeh : anyway, i'm following the advice (as of 12 hours ago) to leave the ipod unplugged for 24 hours, to drain the battery.  i was just wondering whether there was a quicker way to get it
[18:02] <erisco> butcherbird, is bzip2 better than gzip?
[18:02] <gunashekar> (11:31:33 PM) ubotu: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[18:02] <butcherbird> KindOne: or just double click it and drag contents to a folder and read readme or install text file
[18:02] <butcherbird> erisco: better sortof. requires more work for client comp but it compresses smaller i believe
[18:02] <KindOne> why can they just make .exe files ....
[18:03] <butcherbird> KindOne: getdeb.net
[18:03] <erisco> butcherbird, any idea on how I can only archive files under 20MB?
[18:03] <numpy> well all an exe does is drop files from source to their  proper location..
[18:03] <numpy> same as an install script/binary package does
[18:03] <erisco> butcherbird, I need to backup my system but I don't want all the large files hogging up backup space

[18:04] <butcherbird> erisco: not sure in a one liner offhand probably some find command or somesuch might ask in #bash
[18:04] <BeShaMo> anyone have any ideas why this is?
[18:04] <numpy> BeShaMo: are the service daemons setup properly?
[18:04] <white_eagle> can you help me with amarok, no one on #amarok responded for 30 minutes?
[18:04] <white_eagle> when I try to run transKode I get this /home/whiteeagle/.kde/share/apps/amarok/scripts/transkode/transkode: error while loading shared libraries: libutempter.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[18:04] <BeShaMo> well, the services are remote, for the 1xxx I'm able to access it from windows, I haven't tried the other one
[18:04] <numpy> white_eagle: you need to install that library file
[18:05] <Odd-rationale> erisco: I would use sbackup (simple backup) available via synaptic. You can specify to not back up files larger than a certain sixe.
[18:05] <Odd-rationale> *size
[18:05] <white_eagle> numpy: where to get it
[18:05] <numpy> white_eagle: try googling that particular file..
[18:05] <Konam> why the files that i try to copy in between my two computers through NFS always stops at 50%
[18:05] <numpy> like..
[18:06] <numpy> http://www.google.com/search?q=libutempter.so&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
[18:06] <numpy> :-)
[18:06] <erisco> Odd-rationale, I have tried sbackup multiple times... it doesn't *work*
[18:06] <erisco> Odd-rationale, some things are even broken in the gui -.-
[18:07] <Pitel> Which software should I use for Garmin GPS?
[18:07] <Odd-rationale> erisco: OK. It works for me...
[18:07] <erisco> Odd-rationale, it says it creates a child process to do the backup... but it never backs anything up
[18:07] <erisco> Odd-rationale, the child process just idles until I kill it
[18:08] <white_eagle> nupmy: googled that: nothing showed up, just some .rpm packages, tried searching for .deb packages the same showed up
[18:08] <Odd-rationale> erisco: I've never experienced any problems. So, I'm so sorry I cannot help you with that. :(
[18:08] <numpy> white_eagle: hold up bro we will get it
[18:08] <nickrud> numpy, a good place to look for files in packages is packages.ubuntu.com
[18:08] <mirdin> hi! anyone want to help me figure out a networking problem on a new ubuntu install
[18:08] <erisco> fried my floppy drive last night. It wasn't installed in the case yet, just sitting on top. I accidentally bumped it and it landed on the side of the case in such a way that it shorted. WHOOSH... smoke everywhere. Had to clip off a melted cable on my powers supply :o
[18:08] <white_eagle> I need that script, how will i transcode to mp3
[18:09] <mirdin> been all over the forums and google with no luck
[18:09] <white_eagle> :(
[18:09] <white_eagle> mirdin: do tell
[18:09] <numpy> nickrud: indeed it is., however this is an ongoing issue with amarok and the FLAC engine..
[18:09] <nickrud> numpy, ah, well amarok is not something I use so never ran into it
[18:09] <mirdin> white_eagle: it's a bit of a puzzle
[18:10] <numpy> yeah its ghetto on this .. I just fixed it here.. but can't recall how...
[18:10] <casey__> what is a good prog to set up a server to connect to and from?
[18:10] <mirdin> white_eagle: i get a device or resource busy message
[18:10] <erisco> that's my christmas season event anyways
[18:10] <erisco> not exactly the one in a million chance I was looking to happen, though
[18:10] <mirdin> white_eagle: hold on, it's powering up, brb
[18:11] <numpy> The problem is that to do flac to lame conversion the process is a little more complicated. All that transKode is doing is use lame to convert flac directly to mp3, afaik this doesn't and shouldn't work.
[18:11] <numpy> :-?
[18:13] <MacTheMad> can anyone help me with multiple location network configs?
[18:13] <white_eagle> other way to transcode to mp3?
[18:13] <judgement> what other ubuntu desktop environment [kde, flux, gnome...] are out there? i want something to test out.
[18:14] <erisco> Odd-rationale, the worst part is that the restore app hangs
[18:14] <sarixe> white_eagle: check out transkode, for amarok
[18:14] <wirechief> judgement try enlightenment
[18:14] <numpy> sox will work too white_eagle
[18:14] <white_eagle> sarixe: I've got a problem with that
[18:14] <sarixe> what's that?
[18:14] <numpy> apt-get install sox
[18:15] <numpy> audio convertion tool
[18:15] <white_eagle> K
[18:15] <MacTheMad> can anyone help me with multiple location network configs?
[18:15] <numpy> what is the problem MacTheMad
[18:15] <judgement> wirechief, is it on he software channel?
[18:15] <bascule> white_eagle: 2 stages, decode to wav, encode to mp3
[18:16] <rangerguy39> can i use usb storage devices on ubuntu?
[18:16] <bazhang> rangerguy39: sure
[18:16] <erisco> Odd-rationale, I would just write my own script to tar everything but I cannot find a way to exclude files over 20MB in size
[18:16] <white_eagle> rangerguy39: yeah
[18:16] <rangerguy39> how do i access it?
[18:16] <camilo> does anyone can help me to compile a source?
[18:16] <bazhang> rangerguy39: me?
[18:16] <Invert314> \
[18:16] <rangerguy39> yeah
[18:16] <Invert314> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4007246#post4007246
[18:16] <Odd-rationale> erisco: All I do is start the backup. Then i browse to the directory that i specified to save the backup. When I see the files "excludes, files.tgz, flist, fprops, packages, and ver" I know my back up is done.

[18:17] <erisco> Odd-rationale, mine hangs

[18:17] <erisco> Odd-rationale, same with me for restore, but it never detects the backups
[18:17] <erisco> Odd-rationale, then again none of the backups are ever created
[18:18] <MacTheMad> numpy: on my other machine I can't get out to network on ubuntu but I can with windows & this machine can on ubuntu so I took it to a friends hosue the other day & it connected right away using dhcp there now back here I can't get it to connect thru ubuntu either thru this server or a different router
[18:18] <white_eagle> numpy: how to use sox now?
[18:18] <Steve2> well i need to share 2 hard disks from my ubuntu - to another PC on the network
[18:18] <bazhang> rangerguy39: that is a bit different, let me google for a moment...
[18:18] <bascule> white_eagle: do you know how to decode to wav? are you comfortable with cli ways of doing things?
[18:18] <Odd-rationale> erisco: Where did you specify to create your backups?
[18:18] <white_eagle> yeah to wav I know

[18:18] <spiderman> hello there, i'm trying to open chm file, i downloaded viewers like kchm, xchm, i encountered library missing problme during installation. can some suggest any solution for this
[18:18] <numpy> lol.. there are many options.. and I HATE to say Read the manual.. but.. type sox -h there are a ton of options.. and they are simplified with examples
[18:19] <white_eagle> !repeat | Steve2
[18:19] <ubotu> Steve2: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[18:19] <bascule> white_eagle: so lame the wavs to mp3, done
[18:19] <Symmetria> hrm, does anyone know if the default apache2 thats with ubuntu comes with large file support or if I need to activate something?
[18:19] <WindowSmasher> Hi all.  I'm having trouble with the flash player (both gnash and adobe) in my firefox.  I've google'd my arse off and still can't find a workable solution to my problem.  The video either wont play or I get "Install missing plugin."  Assistance?
[18:19] <Pici> spiderman: How did you install the chm viewers?
[18:19] <Pici> !flashissues | WindowSmasher
[18:19] <ubotu> WindowSmasher: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[18:19] <dzer0> hello there other people who are online instead of with family :)
[18:19] <WindowSmasher> Thanks!
[18:19] <numpy> white_eagle: like you could use a ..
[18:19] <spiderman> from command window
[18:19] <Pici> spiderman: I mean did you download some source? or did you use the repositories?
[18:20] <etghn> What do you do if a package depends on a library, it says it needs v2 and v3 is the only one avail, therefore it breaks?
[18:20] <white_eagle> oh, now i figured i don't have lame
[18:20] <white_eagle> so.... lame
[18:20] <spiderman> rpms
[18:20] <bascule> blade will do
[18:20] <velasco> Hello people! Does anyone know any channel related to pidgin?
[18:20] <white_eagle> !rpm
[18:20] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[18:20] <Steve2> white_eagle: Look - i have some mounts on My Ubuntu PC and i Need to share them to a windows network. The problem is that i can't have full access to the drives and i cant share them.
[18:20] <B-rabbit> spiderman, i use xchm....try using that...it pretty good in my opinion
[18:20] <Pici> spiderman: You installed rpms in Ubuntu?
[18:20] <spiderman> but it says i need some more library when im trying to install it
[18:21] <Steve2> white_eagle: I have some mounts on My Ubuntu PC and i Need to share them to a windows network. The problem is that i can't have full access to the drives and i cant share them.
[18:21] <Pici> spiderman: Are you running Ubuntu?
[18:21] <predaeus> velasco, did you try the obvious?
[18:21] <white_eagle> Steve2: you want to share them with a windows user then
[18:21] <white_eagle> ?
[18:21] <spiderman> im sorry im using fedora
[18:21] <Steve2> yeap
[18:21] <numpy>  flac -sd $in -o $out
[18:21] <Pici> spiderman: Then you are in the wrong channel, This is Ubuntu support only.
[18:21] <white_eagle> I guess tat shouldn't work in ubuntu
[18:21] <velasco> predaeus, yes
[18:21] <white_eagle> that*
[18:21] <nickrud> lol spiderman try #fedora
[18:21] <spiderman> ok thank you
[18:21] <bazhang> haha
[18:21] <predaeus> velasco, hm, did you try #gaim too? maybe it still has the old name
[18:22] <dzer0> so my laptop's been going a little crazy lately. first of all, standby doesn't work. when I open my laptop after i put it in standby, I just see a cursor and a square around it filled with what looks like graphics artifacts. then the biggest problem of all, when I boot and login, I see the top and bottom bars but they are blank and finally appear/start working after about 5 mins of the computer doing nothing. then when I go to launch a progra
[18:22] <dzer0> m it does nothing for like 5 minutes then the program opens. please help me fix this!
[18:22] <B-rabbit> lol
[18:22] <velasco> predaeus, ops, now it worked!
[18:22] <white_eagle> dzer0: its a bug with fglrx
[18:22] <mirdin> white_eagle: installed gutsy on an old HP, which i hear can be a problem
[18:22] <Steve2> white_eagle: What should i do ?
[18:22] <velasco> predaeus, I was trying in other server. Sorry, I'm not used to use irc
[18:22] <dzer0> white_eagle: both issues? and is there a fix? I admit I haven't updated in a while
[18:22] <velasco> predaeus, thanks anyway! :)
[18:22] <predaeus> velasco, *g* np
[18:22] <white_eagle> dzer0: are you using ati?
[18:23] <dzer0> white_eagle: I'm not sure of my laptop's gfx, I think it might just be integrated
[18:23] <bascule> intel can do it too
[18:23] <Steve2> Anyone KNOW HOW TO HAVE FULL PERMISSIONS FROM MOUNTED DRIVES ???
[18:23] <mirdin> white_eagle: everything is running OK, I can ping myself with a static IP, but I can't get a dynamic IP and I can't ping the router
[18:23] <bascule> intel used to do it during gutsy beta
[18:23] <white_eagle> dzer0: I have the same problem, in ubuntu 7.10 suspend doesn't work
[18:24] <nickrud> Steve2, you could try asking on #samba , seems there's no samba experts here right now
[18:24] <white_eagle> if you really want downgrade to feisty
[18:24] <Steve2> kk
[18:24] <white_eagle> in 7.04 it suspend works
[18:24] <mirdin> white_eagle: when I do I get network is unreachable
[18:24] <dzer0> white_eagle: suspend is annoying, but my biggest concern is the fact that every app takes 5 minutes of no activity to start up
[18:24] <bascule> Steve2: chmod the mount point directory, please don't shout
[18:24] <mirdin> white_eagle:
[18:24] <white_eagle> mirdin: yeah yeah
[18:24] <white_eagle> googling now
[18:24] <nickrud> dzer0, for the long startup, check that your hostname is on the same line as <IP_ADDRESS> localhost in /etc/hosts
[18:25] <bascule> dzer0: i have seen that, solved by ading a new user, xgl related IIRC
[18:25] <white_eagle> Steve2: try #samba
[18:25] <white_eagle> oh already suggested
[18:25] <white_eagle> :D
[18:25] <dzer0> is there a way to have update manager update automatically? I've got like 128 updates that have just been building up and I keep forgetting to do
[18:25] <MacTheMad> can someone tell how to add a new location in network settings applet?
[18:26] <white_eagle> mirdin: haven't found anything similar for now, try asking in the forums, sorry

[18:26] <Evolution2> hey guys, I need some help with flash-plugin. it takes up 100% of my CPU when I am watching youtube videos and makes Firefox lag a lot. any ideas for a fix?
[18:26] <KalEl> do not know which one has good support in Ubuntu
[18:26] <dzer0> yeah see, I just clicked terminal, it said starting terminal for like 20 seconds, then stopped showing any activity, then about 1 minute later terminal finally popped up
[18:26] <Steve2> THERE IS NO ONE THERE :( OMG
[18:26] <bazhang> KalEl: justa bout anything except the new nano
[18:26] <bascule> KalEl: is the creative one of the older ones, like the touch/sleek family?
[18:27] <uniqoder> Evolution2: adobe flash or os flash?
[18:27] <white_eagle> bye
[18:27] <Steve2> everyone afk
[18:27] <nickrud> dzer0, check that /etc/hosts file, it should fix that slow startup
[18:27] <Evolution2> uniqoder: adobe I believe. yes non-free
[18:27] <dzer0> nickrud: in /etc/hosts all I have on the first line is <IP_ADDRESS> localhost
[18:27] <KalEl> bazhang, the new iPod Classic g6 80GB was what i was looking at
[18:27] <uniqoder> Evolution2: make sure its the latest  build
[18:27] <dzer0> should I add my hostname to that right?
[18:27] <nickrud> dzer0, yes
[18:27] <sarixe> my ipod seems to be completely bricked.  i was transferring files to it (sort of en masse) and nautilus froze.  i killed and restarted nautilus, ejected the ipod, and the ipod gave a quick flash of a white screen, then went down.  it tried rebooting itself, but after a while i noticed the screen was blank.  i figured it may have just gone to sleep (i was ignoring it a bit) and tried to wake it up.  i still can't, and when i plug
[18:27] <sarixe> it in, no volume shows up.  help?
[18:27] <bazhang> KalEl: check google and the forums first :}
[18:27] <Evolution2> uniqoder: how do I do that. I just used synaptic
[18:27] <uniqoder> Evolution2:  i run 9 r115
[18:28] <dzer0> so just <IP_ADDRESS> localhost blue?
[18:28] <nickrud> dzer0, yes
[18:28] <KalEl> bascule, the Creative product is Creative Zen Vision: M 30GB - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ipod_classic
[18:28] <uniqoder> download the 9 beta from adobe and install at the terminal
[18:28] <Evolution2> ok
[18:28] <MacTheMad> can anybody tell me how to add a new location in network settings applet
[18:28] <dzer0> thanks I'll try it. do I have to do a full restart or can I just ctrl-alt-backspace?
[18:28] <bazhang> steve2 http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Gutsy#Samba_Server
[18:28] <bascule> KalEl: they don't work in lnux/ubuntu as yet

[18:28] <KalEl> bascule, bazhang, thanks
[18:28] <dzer0> whoa that fixed it
[18:29] <dzer0> thank you SO much nickrud!

[18:29] <nickrud> dzer0, yw, that's a really annoying thing, isn't it :)
[18:29] <dzer0> yeah :)

[18:32] <Aztec007> ubuntu_: did this bug pop up after you used it a while? or did your machine broke down immediately?

[18:37] <bascule> trumpetmic: try gag
[18:37] <trumpetmic> aha!  two ideas!  thanks nickrud and bascule
[18:37] <trumpetmic> any debate on which is better/
[18:37] <bascule> trumpetmic: actually scratch that if it's a mac
[18:37] <trumpetmic> it's not
[18:37] <nickrud> trumpetmic, there's your answer :)
[18:37] <trumpetmic> bascule, it's an HP
[18:38] <Aztec007> trumpetmic: you had problems installing 64 bit ubuntu also?
[18:38] <bascule> gag is cool, no need to install and will uninstall if you do install, very easy to use
[18:38] <nickrud> bascule, what package is that in?
[18:38] <trumpetmic> Aztec007, no it installed perfectly and rocks the hizzouse

[18:38] <nickrud> bascule, oh, ok then
[18:38] <Aztec007> trumpetmic: what kind of processor are you running?????
[18:38] <Pici> unknow990: Sorry, thats a bit beyond my knowledge.  You might be able to get some help in #postgresql though
[18:38] <unknow990> Pici, the postgresql database is installed
[18:38] <trumpetmic> core2duo
[18:39] <bascule> nickrud: i regularly use it at work for ntldr is missing and recovery partitions that won't kick off
[18:39] <hockeyfan5000> Happy Holidays all my linux friends
[18:39] <Aztec007> trumpetmic: ah, that explains it
[18:39] <unknow990> so the the problem is make initialize-database command on unbuntu...
[18:39] <SunmanXII> hi, im having a problem with my mplayer. its colors are inverted and for some reason the image is shifted vertically. any ideas/
[18:39] <Aztec007> trumpetmic: what do you think of the AMDs?
[18:39] <Aztec007> good or bad?
[18:39] <trumpetmic> i like em
[18:39] <Pici> !offtopic
[18:39] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[18:40] <sidewalk> how do i check which application is running a certain port?
[18:40] <dagon^> netstat
[18:40] <trumpetmic> so, can either of those boot proggies be run from within a ubuntu live cd?
[18:40] <nickrud> sidewalk, sudo netstat -tlp
[18:40] <Pici> sidewalk: sudo netstat -tanp | grep application
[18:40] <etghn> E: Build-Depends dependency for silky cannot be satisfied because the package libsilc-1.0-2-dev cannot be found
[18:40] <etghn> but libsilc-1.1.2-dev exists
[18:40] <sidewalk> nope, didn't help
[18:41] <sidewalk> you have any other tips?
[18:41] <Aztec007> trumpetmic: I have been unable to install no 64 bit OSs on my AMD, do you think 64 bit ubuntu will work?
[18:41] <nickrud> sidewalk, which one? and, you mean a server listening?
[18:41] <trumpetmic> Aztec007: have you not tried it?
[18:41] <hockeyfan5000> Aztec007:  you sure your using a 64 bit system :-D
[18:41] <sidewalk> nickrud: i want to know which process is connected to which open port
[18:41] <keithclark> Greetings everyone.
[18:41] <mapez> merry christmas, my audio has gotten really quiet.. speakers are on full along with alsa mixer and vlc.. whats up.
[18:41] <Aztec007> trumpetmic: I tried installing 64 studio, 64 gentoo, all failed to install
[18:42] <trumpetmic> Aztec007: I have found the latest 64bit ubuntu to be the slickest, easiest and most stable OS I've used on any of my computers
[18:42] <mirdin> can anyone answer me a question about a wireless card install in gutsy?
[18:42] <Aztec007> hockeyfan5000: definitely
[18:42] <Pici> sidewalk: Did you replace 'application' with the name of the app you are looking forr?  or replace it with the port num?
[18:42] <trumpetmic> Aztec007: ubuntu is generally much easier to install than any other distro (or OS for that matter)
[18:42] <Aztec007> trumpetmic: wow
[18:42] <keithclark> I seem to be having a problem with networking.  I'm running two machines with PCLinux and one with Ubuntu.  The two with PCLinux can see each other and the Ubuntu machine, but the Ubuntu machine can only see itself.
[18:42] <nickrud> sidewalk, you can see everything with sudo netstat
[18:42] <mirdin> I'm wondering how I can tell if a driver is bound to a device
[18:42] <Aztec007> trumpetmic: and they have it on their website? *scratches head*
[18:43] <mirdin> the doc on this isn't very clear
[18:43] <trumpetmic> I would use only ubuntu if I Adobe would make some linux binaries for CS3
[18:43] <SunmanXII> soo, anyone? it maybe an issue with my video card. my mplayers colors are inverted and for some reason the video itself "shifts down". any ideas?
[18:43] <etghn> Where is apt-get's working sir?
[18:43] <etghn> dir
[18:43]  * trumpetmic is off to the grocery store
[18:43] <nickrud> sidewalk, erm sudo netstat -p that is
[18:43] <KiD_ChAoS> hey guys, is there any reason why the option to 'shutdown' my computer not be present last night?
[18:43] <etghn> where does it fetch sources to?
[18:44] <KiD_ChAoS> i would choose the exit icon and the shutdown option was just not listed
[18:44] <mavi-> etghn: the source-files are in /etc/apt/sources.list
[18:44] <nickrud> etghn, if you do apt-get source <source package> , it downloads to current dir
[18:44] <mavi-> etghn: then the cached pacakges are in /var/cache/apt
[18:44] <Aztec007> I installed ubuntu all on one big 250 GB partition, is that bad?
[18:45] <nickrud> Aztec007, did you make a swap?
[18:45] <hockeyfan5000> Aztec007: did you create a swap file?
[18:45] <KiD_ChAoS> Aztec007, did you make a swap
[18:45] <Aztec007> nickrud: yes yes yes
[18:45] <Aztec007> :)
[18:45] <KiD_ChAoS> Aztec007, how big?
[18:45] <guero> is anyone familiar with screenlets? i'm trying to start them up with beryl but screenlets loads first and then crashes. is there any way to make them start on a delay so they'll load after beryl?
[18:45] <Kavok1> When I Share a folder, I access it from windows with \\Computername\sharename ? But it asks for a username and password - what do I enter?
[18:46] <nickrud> Aztec007, lol, then you're fine, I'd have make a 20gb "   /    " and put the rest on /home , but it's fine
[18:46] <etghn> How do I compile a source package?
[18:46] <etghn> there's a diff
[18:46] <dagon^> Kavok1; your login on the *nix-comp
[18:46] <Aztec007> KiD_ChAoS: my swap is 1 gig
[18:46] <Kavok1> dagon^: my login doesn't work though
[18:46] <dagon^> =/
[18:47] <KiD_ChAoS> Aztec007, 1 gig is ok
[18:47] <Kavok1> I enter my username and password and it just re pops up the prompt with computername\username
[18:47] <Aztec007> nickrud: so its not bad if root and home are on one directory?
[18:47] <Kavok1> in the username field
[18:47] <casey__> what is a good prog to use that will let me set my computer i use into a server but leave it the way it is so i can use it for everyday stuff too?
[18:47] <KiD_ChAoS> Casey, what kind of server are you trying to create
[18:48] <SunmanXII> hello? anyone?
[18:48] <bazhang> casey__: file server or mail server
[18:48] <nickrud> etghn, dpkg-deb will build the package, it's too much to explain here. man dpkg-deb will give you the nitty gritty
[18:48] <hacknslash> SunmanXII, hi
[18:48] <casey__> file server
[18:48] <KiD_ChAoS> Casey, then yes
[18:48] <Centaur5> Does anybody know of a howto for configuring Evolution to work with Citadel or should I just use Kontact?
[18:49] <SunmanXII> hacknslash: can you help me with a problem in mplayer? it maybe an issue with my video card. my mplayers colors are inverted and for some reason the video itself "shifts down". any ideas?
[18:49] <nickrud> Aztec007, no, not bad at all. Just easier for a reinstall if needed, you don't have to worry about your home being overwritten
[18:49] <Aztec007> nickrud: oh
[18:50] <Aztec007> exit
[18:50] <Aztec007> I keep thinking I'm in terminal mode
[18:50] <Aztec007> bye guys
[18:50] <Kavok1> Does anyone else know ?
[18:51] <Kavok1> I'm trying to access a shared folder on my ubuntu laptop from my windows PC
[18:51] <Kavok1> a user/pass prompt comes up though and I can't get it to let me in
[18:51] <hacknslash> SunmanXII, does your video card have opengl drivers ?
[18:51] <dagon^> Kavok1: http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/05/19/how-to-share-files-and-folders-in-ubuntu/
[18:52] <SunmanXII> i think so. its an ati.
[18:52] <SunmanXII> a few days ago i (accidentally, i think) disabled the driver for my card. i reenabled it and thats when the mplayer thing started happening
[18:52] <dagon^> SunmanXII; did you activate the proprietary drivers?
[18:53] <etghn> dpkg-deb: need an action option
[18:53] <SunmanXII> dagon^: how would i do that
[18:53] <casey__> KiD_ChAoS: awesome whats the name?
[18:53] <hacknslash> SunmanXII, i see, ati do many drivers please check that the ones you have cover opengl
[18:54] <dagon^> SunmanXII; System -> Administration -> Handler for proprietary drivers(?) (I'm swedish and has Ubuntu in swedish too =))
[18:54] <numpy> WOOT!
[18:54] <dagon^> woot what?
[18:54] <hacknslash> SunmanXII, does it also have incorrect colours in an alternative player like xine or VLC
[18:54] <wolfeySI> hello battery running time is significantly better in windows xp 'super power saver mode' than in ubuntu, anything i can do?
[18:54] <SunmanXII> hacknslash: let me check.
[18:54] <numpy> dagon^: just woot lol
[18:54] <dagon^> :
[18:54] <dagon^> :)
[18:55] <dagon^> merry xmas btw
[18:55] <SunmanXII> dagon^: you mean restricted drivers? yes i enabled them.
[18:55] <nickrud> wolfeySI, not much, I've heard that if you have intel processor installing powertop can help
[18:55] <Kavok1> dagon^: That doesnt give me any new information though, my user and pass just doesnt work
[18:55] <dagon^> SunmanXII; ah, that's the english name for it :)
[18:55] <dagon^> Kavok1; oh, then I'm afraid I can't help you any further
[18:56] <wolfeySI> nickrud: yes pentium m centrino
[18:56] <mavi-> Kavok1: are you trying to reach an XP from ubuntu or the other way around?
[18:56] <SunmanXII> hacknslash: vlc does not have inverted colors but its also screwed up
[18:56] <KiD_ChAoS> Casey, just open a share on your drive
[18:57] <casey__> how would i connect into it from another computer remotely?
[18:57] <Kavok1> My username is kavok, I enter that and my password
[18:57] <SunmanXII> hacknslash: how do i check if the driver that i have for ATI covers opengl?
[18:57] <KiD_ChAoS> Casey, right click on a folder and chose share folder
[18:57] <hacknslash> SunmanXII, therefore i think its driver related
[18:57] <Kavok1> prompt comes back up as C-LAPTOP\kavok with my password still entered
[18:57] <Kavok1> but nothing happens
[18:57] <mavi-> Kavok1: you need to use smbadduser
[18:58] <mavi-> and smbpasswd
[18:58] <mavi-> to add smb-users
[18:58] <wolfeySI> nickrud: then how do i *start* it ?
[18:58] <numpy> is the php command shell command_exec() ??
[18:58] <mavi-> numpy: one of them
[18:58] <numpy> or shell_exec ?
[18:58] <Kavok1> mavi-: What?
[18:58] <KiD_ChAoS> casey__, what operating system is the other computer running windows?
[18:58] <numpy> thanks mavi-
[18:58] <nickrud> wolfeySI, I've only heard about it, but /usr/share/doc/powetop should tell you more, or man powertop. Sorry I can't tell you more
[18:58] <SunmanXII> hacknslash: yea, so how do i check if its the right one
[18:58] <mavi-> Kavok1: you are trying to use your system user, you need a special samba-user to get that working, or set the default samba user as a system user
[18:59] <mavi-> Kavok1: its in the settings
[18:59] <casey__> yes
[18:59] <hacknslash> SunmanXII, do you also have video 4 linux
[18:59] <wolfeySI> nickrud: interesting it anaylzes running apps that wake processor and suggests what to do
[19:00] <mypapit> ???
[19:00] <KiD_ChAoS> casey__, then all you have to do is go to the windows machine and goto start, run, type '\\IPaddress of ubuntu machine
[19:00] <KiD_ChAoS> casey__, then hit enter
[19:00] <KiD_ChAoS> up comes your share
[19:00] <SunmanXII> hacknslash: no i dont think so. the thing is, there was no such problem before i disabled and then enabled the proprietary driver for my ATI card.
[19:00] <Kavok1> mavi-: what settings? where? lol
[19:01] <mavi-> Kavok1: in the settings->admin menu
[19:01] <mavi-> Kavok1: the main menu/gnome menu that is
[19:01] <casey__> awesome thanks and also how do you get it to do that in the chat? to turn red and all? lol
[19:01] <Kavok1> mavi-: ? You mean System->Admin ? then what?
[19:02] <KiD_ChAoS> casey__, when type a sentence using a name of a user in the chatroom it turns red for that user. i used your name in every sentence to make it easier for you to see
[19:02] <hacknslash> SunmanXII, have you also modified your xorg.conf file ?
[19:03] <SunmanXII> hacknslash: yes, i did. i may have screwed up there.
[19:03] <mirdin> ethernet question for an ubuntu wizard
[19:03] <casey__> KiD_ChAoS ohhh ok so just copy and paste a name at the start and it will turn red?
[19:03] <Jack_Sparrow> casey__: tab to complete the name
[19:03] <SunmanXII> hacknslash: i can show it to you if you want me to.
[19:03] <casey__> ah ok thanks
[19:03] <Jack_Sparrow> casey__: type kid then hit tab
[19:04] <KiD_ChAoS> casey__, yes it just did it for me, but the easiest way for you to do that is to begin typing the name and then hit the TAB key and it will auto complete
[19:04] <sdrev> is there a way to ssh into a computer that is booted from the LiveCD?
[19:04] <casey__> KiD_ChAoS, awesome thanks
[19:04] <KiD_ChAoS> casey__, no problem
[19:04] <Kavok1> WHere do I set this samba user stuff
[19:04] <hacknslash> SunmanXII, dont get an offer like that every day, however, i think we may need someone with expert skills in this area...
[19:05] <KiD_ChAoS> sdrev, it depeneds if the distro supports it
[19:05] <etghn> I keep getting this error: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[19:05] <sdrev> yeah
[19:05] <etghn> WTF
[19:05] <Politics101> Great Youtube Video, this guy should run for president himself!!:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UZAqZUafCdM
[19:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Politics101: Please do not do that
[19:05] <sdrev> well, it's the 7.10 ubuntu livecd
[19:06] <Jack_Sparrow> etghn: Things like WTF are also not appreciated in this channel
[19:06] <wolfeySI> nickrud: thx this actually helps a lot
[19:06] <KiD_ChAoS> sdrev, i think you can, i have never tried it using the livecd
[19:06] <Sharpie> i'm trying to record my guitar and, well, i just don't get any input in audacity
[19:06] <wolfeySI> nickrud: now it doesnt jump from 600 Mhz to 1500 Mhz at idle
[19:06] <SunmanXII> hacknslash: haha... well, nickrud was the one who helped me last time so maybe he can.
[19:07] <blkbox> Anybody know anything about a 'drmClosOnce' problem with compiz?
[19:07] <hacknslash> SunmanXII, sorry I can't do more
[19:07] <blkbox> No takers?
[19:08] <SunmanXII> hacknslash: thats ok. anyone?
[19:08] <Jack_Sparrow> blkbox: You can try in #Compiz-fusion channel
[19:08] <underdaw1> blkbox: whut
[19:08] <underdaw1> blkbox: ya, im not a compiz pro, cant help
[19:08] <mirdin> ug there is no help
[19:09] <blkbox> underdaw1: if i try compiz --replace, i get an undrfined symbol problem with libdrm.
[19:09] <blkbox> jack_sparrow: thanks i'll try that.
[19:09] <underdaw1> blkbox: im not your man, sorry
[19:09] <underdaw1> blkbox: im not knowledgeable in that area
[19:09] <underdaw1> or id help
[19:09] <Jack_Sparrow> blkbox: np.. they are more up on the ins and outs of that program.
[19:09] <blkbox> underdaw1: thanks anyway. =]
[19:10] <SunmanXII> soo anyone? video card problems for ati... inverted colors in mplayer. maybe a xorg.conf problem
[19:10] <mathias> asd
[19:11] <Jack_Sparrow> SunmanXII: Only in that one program would most likely not be ati or xorg problem
[19:11] <bascule> SunmanXII: try differnt video out plugins, xvshm for example
[19:11] <sepman63> quit
[19:11] <wayneward> ho ho ho
[19:11] <SunmanXII> Jack_Sparrow: actually, vlc is screwed up as well. and it started happening after i messed up with xorg.conf
[19:12] <SunmanXII> as in, everything used to be perfect before
[19:12] <bascule> SunmanXII: ah, now the truth arrives :)
[19:12] <Jack_Sparrow> SunmanXII: post your xorg so people can check it out
[19:12] <Jack_Sparrow> to the pastebin.. not in channel
[19:12] <etghn> I keep getting this error: configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[19:12] <etghn> help
[19:12] <bascule> !compile | etghn
[19:12] <ubotu> etghn: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[19:12] <euzao> hi, I changed the MAC of my network...
[19:13] <euzao> how do I keep it the same when I reboot my system?
[19:13] <Jack_Sparrow> etghn: what are you trying to compile and have you EVER compiled anything before
[19:13] <euzao> it goes back to its original when I reboot it!
[19:13] <SunmanXII> Jack_Sparrow: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/49489/
[19:15] <etghn> Jack_Sparrow: That happens every time I try to ./configure anythuing
[19:15] <Jack_Sparrow> SunmanXII: Did you edit it manually, or did you use sudo dpkg etc..
[19:15] <etghn> I need to recompile pidgin for one thing
[19:15] <Jack_Sparrow> etghn: If you want people to help you.. you need to answer their questions. not just keep repeating whatever it is you want to say
[19:15] <Skfarek> hi
[19:16] <SunmanXII> Jack_Sparrow: i used sudo dpkg...does it look like i edited it manually?
[19:16] <Jack_Sparrow> SunmanXII: look in the xorg folder for your backup and compare them or replace the existing with your old one
[19:17] <Jack_Sparrow> SunmanXII: No it looks like it was edited with dpkg and no res are listed at all.
[19:18] <Skfarek> does synaptic very buggy?
[19:18] <Sharpie> i can't get my microphone to work (trying to record with audacity)
[19:18] <Jack_Sparrow> SunmanXII: look in etc/X11 and look for an xorg followed by a bunch of numbers.. that will be the automatic backup
[19:19] <fiveiron> any ideas on how to reset, or reinitialize the mouse?
[19:19] <etghn> see above
[19:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Skfarek: synaptic is very stable.. users changing their sources list is more of a problem
[19:19] <keithclark> Is Ubuntu networking very simple to setup?
[19:19] <keithclark> Between two Ubuntu machines?
[19:20] <wols> keithclark: define "networking"
[19:20] <keithclark> One computer sharing files/printers with another
[19:20] <etghn> I need to recompile pidgin for one thing
[19:20] <Jack_Sparrow> five   sudo modprobe -r psmouse ; sudo modprobe psmouse
[19:20] <SunmanXII> Jack_Sparrow: I looked in xorg.conf.original-0 and it had the driver name ("ati" which is the proprietary driver which i dled) under the video card. its not in my current xorg.conf. is that the problem?
