[05:41] <billy____> is there a help chat like this for windows?
[05:42] <QuickSilver-Dani> you should google and I'm sure you might find something
[05:42] <billy____> so no one knows any specific like #windows or anythign?
[05:42] <thoreauputic> billy____: there's a ##windows I think
[05:42] <billy____> ##windows or #windows?
[05:42] <QuickSilver-Dani> That's how I found this one .. I just googled "ubuntu irc chat"
[05:42] <thoreauputic> two ## IIRC
[05:42] <billy____> fer sher.. thanks thoreauputic
[05:42] <ec> should be ##
[05:43] <n-iCe> eugene__,  I did it, downloading the package and installing it again, it automatically did a uninstall, repair,thanks
[05:43] <xcnd> #(#)windows on freenode is kinda dead, naturally since this is a server dedicated mostly to free software..
[05:43] <ec> lol yeah
[05:43] <archman> mjs7231: in /etc/wifi-radar.conf
[05:43] <eugene__> ))
[05:43] <eugene__> ok, sorry i was too long
[05:44] <billy____> i know this is kinda the wrong place, but im sure someone might be able to help me out? is there a quick way to remove no longer installed programs from the start menu?
[05:44] <decay> d
[05:44] <billy____> please don't yell at me
[05:44] <billy____> i know its the wrong place for that question..
[05:44] <mjs7231> I found a different man page that shows: /etc/conf.d/wifi-radar.conf (whatever one exists) open it up and look inside. :)
[05:44] <billy____> but yeah..
[05:44] <bullgard4> xcnd: I once had a similar error message and could resolve it only by using command line commands. I proceeded along the lines outlined in /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/htmldocs/Samba3-ByExample
[05:44] <foug> is there a command timilar to top/htop but for network activity?
[05:45] <archman> mjs7231: i don't have /etc/conf.d/ ...
[05:45] <ec> Uhm
[05:45] <archman> mjs7231: gutsy
[05:45] <ec> I installed linux on an external drive
[05:45] <ec> but it put GRUB on my MAIN internal drive
[05:45] <ec> and now I can't boot windows, unless the external drive is plugged in
[05:45] <ec> help would be appreciated muchly...
[05:46] <mjs7231> if the firs file exists use that
[05:46] <n-iCe> is pidgin the new gaim?
[05:46] <mjs7231> my machine doesn't have wifi radar installed.
[05:46] <ec> mjs7231: me?
[05:46] <thoreauputic> n-iCe: yes
[05:46] <mjs7231> ec: no
[05:46] <owen1> is there a way to convert iPod to regular mp3 player?
[05:46] <ec> mjs7231: ah, sorry
[05:46] <n-iCe> I like it
[05:46] <ec> owen1: nope
[05:47] <owen1> ec: do u know why?
[05:47] <mjs7231> archman: open up the wifi-radar.conf file to see if you can see any saved connection information in there
[05:47] <ec> owen1: A) s/u/you/g or die
[05:47] <xcnd> owen1, you can technically install a new firmware on the iPod, therefore making it *act* more like a "regular mp3 player"
[05:47] <ec> owen1: B) because apple likes to lock people in
[05:48] <ec> owen1: it's a balance between absolutely awesome products, and putting up with their corporate crap.
[05:48] <ChaosTheory_> is anyone here familiar with awn?
[05:48] <owen1> xcnd: is it complicated?
[05:48] <ChaosTheory_> I can't install the applets.
[05:48] <archman> mjs7231: there are plenty of information about connections; but none to 'turn off'.
[05:48] <xcnd> It depends on the make you have, owen1.
[05:49] <owen1> ec: no more apple for me. ok, maybe mac air but with ubuntu..
[05:49] <Mr_Bad_News> has anyone ever gotten rosetta stone to work through wine?
[05:49] <mjs7231> archman: If I understand wifi-radar correctly, it will search all the saved connection and auto connect to them if it sees it broadcasting
[05:50] <ec> owen1: it's your choice.
[05:50] <owen1> xcnd: nano v2
[05:50] <archman> mjs7231: At boot time, running WiFi Radar will automatically scan for an available preferred network and connect to it
[05:50] <ec> owen1: I use and love nearly every apple product, including an iPhone, Mac Pro, and MBA.
[05:50] <ArMaGeDdOn> hello
[05:50] <ec> owen1: Some people refuse to put up with the lockins and whatnot, that's their choice.
[05:50] <ArMaGeDdOn> i need some help with hacking
[05:50] <foug> is there a command timilar to top/htop but for network activity?
[05:50] <mjs7231> Mr_Bad_News: I searched all the information for that a while back. It seems people had all sorts of problems with cracking sound and such
[05:50] <ArMaGeDdOn> can any body help?
[05:51] <xcnd> owen1, are you used to playing around with the insides of applications and stuff of the sort? tweaking configuration files manually until it's right?
[05:51] <mjs7231> Mr_Bad_News: All the sites I read come to the same conclusion of "Your better off using VMWare"
[05:51] <Mr_Bad_News> vmware be better
[05:51] <Mr_Bad_News> yea
[05:51] <bazhang> ArMaGeDdOn: hacking what? that sounds fishy
[05:51] <owen1> xcnd: with ubuntu. but nothing crazy.
[05:51] <ArMaGeDdOn> sounds fishy??
[05:51] <ArMaGeDdOn> pm and i will ask ya if ya have some techniques
[05:51] <jim> ArMaGeDdOn: no, smells fishy :) what are you hacking?
[05:52] <xcnd> owen1, I'd recommend against doing it yourself then.
[05:52] <Mr_Bad_News> mjs7231, i have an iso on disc
[05:52] <mjs7231> archman: So it sounds like you need to do one of; Remove the connection information so Wifi-Radar doesn't know about it, OR remove wifi-Radar from loading at boot.
[05:52] <Mr_Bad_News> what do i do on windows to get it to work
[05:52] <Mr_Bad_News> i havent been on windows for a while
[05:52] <hikejinx> I've asked in both compiz and kubuntu first with no response (dead rooms), but does anyone here know how to enable the ability to drag a window to another face on a cube in kubuntu. It's default in ubuntu.
[05:52] <ArMaGeDdOn> jim ??
[05:52] <bazhang> ArMaGeDdOn: this is the wrong channel for that
[05:52] <owen1> xcnd: ok.
[05:52] <mjs7231> Mr_Bad_News: I don't know what that means.. you can't install it in VMWare?
[05:52] <thoreauputic> ArMaGeDdOn: if you actually mean "cracking" then you are totally off-topic for this channel
[05:53] <Mr_Bad_News> rosetta stone?
[05:53] <ArMaGeDdOn> bazhang can u gimme the channel name??
[05:53] <mjs7231> I know what an ISO is, but how is that relevant. :)
[05:53] <Mr_Bad_News> or windows?
[05:53] <Mr_Bad_News> the rosetta stone program is in iso format
[05:53] <ChaosTheory_> Can anyone help with awn?
[05:53] <archman> mjs7231: how do i remove wr from loading at boot?
[05:53] <owen1> how to copy all files in a dir (and sub dir) with .mp3 extensions to another folder?
[05:53] <thoreauputic> ArMaGeDdOn: please leave - no-one here will help with black hat hacking
[05:54] <mjs7231> Mr_Bad_News: I also read online that the ISO image was quite tricky to get working off disk, Burning it to a CD might give you easier results.. at least for first run
[05:54] <ArMaGeDdOn> thoreauputic - i will leave moron
[05:54] <bazhang> wow
[05:54] <Mr_Bad_News> so burn the files in the iso to disc
[05:54] <jim> ArMaGeDdOn: you know, that fishy smell, when they extract the cod liver oil from the codfish and it stinks so bad you begin to notice yourself responding to the smell, heaving... it's like you imagine the smell and then start responding to it
[05:54] <Mr_Bad_News> or burn it as an iso
[05:54] <mjs7231> archman: it seems there was a bug on this here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wifi-radar/+bug/97333
[05:54] <bazhang> arma not nice to call names in here thanks
[05:54] <thoreauputic> he left before I could kick him :)
[05:55] <owen1> bash question - how to copy only files with specific extension?
[05:55] <mjs7231> archman: Read that page, they seem to have a work around to remove it from booting up
[05:55] <mjs7231> archman: Sorry, I think that might not be exactly what you wanted
[05:56] <archman> mjs7231: it has nothing to do with booting...
[05:56] <pclync1> I need to delete "guest" account from my computer. how do i delete the "guest" home dir? whats the command to delete dir with files

[05:57] <pclync1> Starnestommy : thanks
[05:57] <mjs7231> archman: That information gets a little out of my territory.. :(
[05:57] <hikejinx> I've asked in both compiz and kubuntu first with no response (dead rooms), but does anyone here know how to enable the ability to drag a window to another face on a cube in kubuntu. It's default in ubuntu.
[05:58] <mjs7231> Mr_Bad_News: Burn it as an Image. so it looks like a store copy
[05:58] <archman> guys how to remove an application from starting at boot???
[05:58] <bazhang> hikejinx: go into ccsm and enable drag window plugin
[05:58] <ArMaGeDdOn> ok then am using windows vista
[05:58] <hikejinx> bazhang: thank you very much :)
[05:58] <CloudFX> hi, im looking to run hardy heron beta on a virtual machine, where can i get some assistance on this?
[05:58] <Mr_Bad_News> i got opera 9.50
[05:58] <ArMaGeDdOn> is ubuntu better than vista?
[05:58] <Mr_Bad_News> flash still doesnt work
[05:59] <bazhang> archman: any reason not to let wr start at boot
[05:59] <bazhang> ArMaGeDdOn: stop please
[05:59] <ArMaGeDdOn> bazhang am new for the linux
[05:59] <pantsd_> Question: I upgraded to 8.04 today and when I try to install a cabal package with ghc I get "<interactive>: /usr/lib/ghc-6.8.2/lib/Cabal-<IP_ADDRESS>/HSCabal-<IP_ADDRESS>.o: unknown symbol `oldzmtimezm1zi0zi0zi0_SystemziTime_a97_closure' . I can't seem to find a bug in launchpad associated with this.
[05:59] <mjs7231> bazhang: He has it connecting to some wireless point he can't stop
[05:59] <bem> ArMaGeDdOn, to find out if it's appropriate for you, give it a try
[05:59] <mjs7231> bazhang: I don't have wireless on my system so I was guessing at help. :-P
[06:00] <bazhang> he was not serious about trying linux, just bored most likely
[06:00] <archman> bazhang: i don't want to connect to some network on startup :-(
[06:00] <bazhang> archman: the neighbors?
[06:00] <archman> bazhang: yeah
[06:00] <nalpha> hello.. IF I add new user to /etc/group (spesific group) it's directly works? or I must restart some services?
[06:01] <archman> bazhang: how to disable it?
[06:01] <AutoMatriX> hi folks, is there somebody who knows how to sync a Nokia6610 cellular with Evolution ?
[06:01] <Starnestommy> nalpha: you'll need to that user to log out then back in, iirc
[06:01] <RoAkSoAx> nalpha, u should use addgroup command
[06:01] <bazhang> archman: not sure about wifi radar but with just the cli you associate that card with your hotspot so that it wont look for others--might be a better choice than wifi radar
[06:01] <hikejinx> Actually it was in rotate cube, edge flip move, but you got me in the right direction bazhang ;)
[06:01] <bazhang> hikejinx: have fun ;]
[06:02] <nalpha> Starnestommy: ow...
[06:02] <hikejinx> bazhang: thank you very much. Good night all.
[06:02] <nalpha> Starnestommy: thanx alot i will try.
[06:02] <archman> bazhang: youre saying maybe to remove wr and connect via cli anytime i want to connect?
[06:03] <philip_> hello
[06:03] <philip_> need help
[06:03] <bazhang> archman: do you have to do that with wifi radar anyway; if it is associated then it will be locked onto that ap (yours not the neighbors)
[06:03] <mjs7231> Mr_Bad_News: If you figure out the flash issue, let me know! :-D
[06:03] <bazhang> philip_: need info to help you
[06:04] <Mr_Bad_News> k
[06:04] <philip_> anyone tried to configure   ubuntu desktop joining Windows 2003 domain controller?
[06:04] <Mr_Bad_News> mjs7231, if the rosetta stone is in iso how do i get wine to run it
[06:04] <archman> bazhang: so can you tell me how to disable an application to not run at boot?
[06:04] <archman> bazhang: /etc/init.d/  ?
[06:04] <mjs7231> Mr_Bad_News: I thought you were going to go the VMWare route
[06:04] <Mr_Bad_News> i am
[06:05] <Mr_Bad_News> but id just like to know
[06:05] <Mr_Bad_News> vmware is only 11%
[06:05] <Mr_Bad_News> so i got time
[06:05] <bazhang> archman: that would be in the wifi radar configuration; do they have a faq--what is the link for their homepage
[06:05] <mjs7231> LOL
[06:05] <mjs7231> I think you just install it normally
[06:05] <Mr_Bad_News> how?
[06:05] <mjs7231> http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=1867
[06:05] <bazhang> this is in the repos?
[06:05] <mjs7231> the site shows it works OK
[06:06] <archman> bazhang: http://wifi-radar.systemimager.org/
[06:06] <mjs7231> but I think the people in forums say otherwise
[06:06] <Mr_Bad_News> i tired the help thing
[06:06] <Mr_Bad_News> but it depends on the file being .exe
[06:06] <Mr_Bad_News> what do i do if its iso
[06:07] <mjs7231> Mr_Bad_News: I am telling you to make an ISO because the system needs the CD in the CD tray to work.  (This is post install)
[06:07] <Mr_Bad_News> i have it in the tray
[06:07] <Mr_Bad_News> i also copied it over to my harddrive and mounted it
[06:08] <kdubois> how to install java plugin for mozilla firefox?
[06:08] <mjs7231> Mr_Bad_News: Look on the image, Autorun.ini usually calls some EXE on the disk
[06:08] <mjs7231> You want to run the EXE
[06:08] <Mr_Bad_News> there isnt one
[06:08] <Mr_Bad_News> maybe i got a crappy version
[06:08] <bazhang> archman: from the looks of it you can edit the hotspots and how you connect to them
[06:08] <mjs7231> lol, perhaps..
[06:08] <mjs7231> let me check my Rosetta CD
[06:08] <Mr_Bad_News> freaken torrents

[06:09] <philip_> Guys, anyone tried to configure  ubuntu 7.10 desktop joining Windows 2003 domain controller?
[06:09] <philip_> im newbie here
[06:09] <archman> bazhang: you mean /etc/wifi-radar.conf ?
[06:09] <leeuw> kdubois: or try open java-page on ww and follow the links ubuntu gives ya
[06:09] <nalpha> oh yha... what is the group that allowed to access Removable Device Like USB?
[06:09] <bazhang> philip_: what is windows domain controller 2003 is that a server or what
[06:10] <bazhang> archman: no via the gui
[06:10] <philip_> bazhang the windows domain controller is 2003 server with ADS configured
[06:10] <archman> bazhang: there's nothing about tj
[06:10] <archman> that
[06:11] <mjs7231> Mr_Bad_News: My CD image had a autorun.inf
[06:11] <bazhang> archman sure there is; look at that link you gave me--you can edit the profiles for each hotspot
[06:11] <Mr_Bad_News> yea i dont have one
[06:11] <mjs7231> Mr_Bad_News: That calls .\Autorun\autorun.exe
[06:12] <archman> bazhang: maybe changing the mode to managed?
[06:12] <Mr_Bad_News> i'll get a new one
[06:12] <mjs7231> Mr_Bad_News: Did the files come with an NFO?
[06:12] <bazhang> archman: how many wifi hotspots does the gui pull up?
[06:12] <Mr_Bad_News> no
[06:13] <archman> bazhang: mybe 10

[06:14] <mjs7231> I never heard of a torrent with an NFO. :-P
[06:14] <mjs7231> Mr_Bad_News: Just pay the $15/mo for giganews. :-P
[06:14] <bazhang> Mr_Bad_News: you should contact the makers of rosetta stone for more info

[06:15] <jayden> I'd recommend going into the terminal and doing a sudo mv, Adrian
[06:15] <Admin__> right now i am on xp, downloded 3 iso of freebsd, can i burn it on single dvd
[06:16] <n-iCe> Where can I get icons themes?
[06:16] <n-iCe> !icons
[06:16] <ubotu> Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (GNOME) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE)
[06:16] <bazhang> Admin__: no those are images; no space will be left--also get ubuntu www.ubuntu.com and get rid of those bsd disks ;]
[06:16] <zcat[1]> n-iCe: gnomelook.org
[06:16] <thoreauputic> n-iCe: try gnome-look.org
[06:16] <mjs7231> Anyone know if they fixed the annoying Applications Menu Editor in Gutsy?
[06:17] <zcat[1]> it has a - in it?
[06:17] <mjs7231> err Hardy
[06:17] <n-iCe> thanks
[06:17] <leeuw> Admin__: sure ya can, will have to mount the ISO's seperately to use them though
[06:17] <AdrianStrays> jayden, can you demonstrate what the command looks like
[06:17] <thoreauputic> zcat[1]: yes
[06:17] <AdrianStrays> Beyond the mv part
[06:17] <bazhang> as data?
[06:17] <zcat[1]> bugger.. ok. Ignore me
[06:17] <leeuw> Admin__: instead of just putting the disk in, I mean
[06:17] <jayden> Adrian: sudo mv <source> <destination>
[06:17] <IkeKrull> anyone know how to get java to play sound in ubuntu hardy?
 i am in Xp right now
 using nero and magic ISO
[06:18] <zcat[1]> haha, no.. gnomelook.org redirects to gnome-look.org :)
[06:18] <thoreauputic> IkeKrull: hardy questions in #ubuntu+1 please
[06:18] <bazhang> leeuw: how is that possible; please clarify
[06:19] <leeuw> Admin__: aha, then itś not advisable; how would you use the ISOś if they were on one DVD ?   are they boot-cdś - probably are; so you couldn't boot from a DVD with three ISO's on it
[06:19] <thoreauputic> zcat[1]: ah so we were both right :)
[06:19] <acx> quick question, i am attempting to install winxp into a VirtualBox but whenever i put the CD in the dialog comes up as if the disc is a blank. i know for a certain that it isnt
[06:19] <theman3> hello
[06:19] <zcat[1]> In windows (with the right software .. powerdvd or something) you can loopback mount ISO's..
 i wanna make one single DVD of them
[06:20] <zcat[1]> good enough for a wubi install .. i tried it
 otherwise i have to burn 3 CD-R
[06:20] <leeuw> Admin__:  with magic ISO you can't put more than one iso on a disc; iso is an image (say a picture) of a disc; you transfer it to a disc with magic iso
[06:20] <theman3> i installed ubuntu 7, and in package manager there are only a few uninstalled packages... shouldnt there be a few hundred?
[06:20] <jayden> zcat: Personally, I feel soo limited when I have to boot into Windows anymore....
[06:20] <AdrianStrays> Jayden, it still says permission denied.
 so there is no way
[06:20] <leeuw> Admin__: you can put the iso's on a dvd as backup with nero, but you can't  boot it
[06:21] <zcat[1]> jayden: I only have one dualboot here, for the kids to play windows games.. and they're recently infected that with spyware so I might just reformat it soon.
 to make single DVD of 3 ISO CD
[06:21] <leeuw> Admin__: not if you want to use them
[06:21] <AdrianStrays>  Jayden: mv /home/adrian/madwifi-0.9.4.tar.gz /usr/src is what I type in, permission denied is what I get
 lol that i did
[06:21] <zcat[1]> they can just learn how to get stuff working in wine :)
[06:21] <jayden> Adrian: you should try "sudo mv"
 i want to install it from DVD
[06:21] <AdrianStrays> Okay
[06:21] <leeuw> Admin__: just make three cd's with magic iso, or use nero with the 'burn image'option
[06:21] <timo1teo> quick question, with my live CD in the button (Fn F5) to switch the laptop screen off and instead project it on my monitor does not work, will that work when i fully install?
[06:21] <thoreauputic> theman3: enable repositories in System-Admin- Software Sources
[06:22] <leeuw> Admin__: why not 3 cd's ?
[06:22] <thoreauputic> theaber: and there are thousands, if that;s what you meant by "uninstalled" packages
[06:22] <AdrianStrays> Jayden: That did it. Thanks for helping me with my silly noob problem/
[06:22] <bazhang> does freebsd have a channel on freenode; that would be the best place to ask Admin__
[06:22] <thoreauputic> theaber: sorry bad tabbibg
[06:22] <leeuw> Admin__: ś cheaper too !
[06:22] <jayden> Adrian: You're welcome. After all, we gotta start somewhere.
 i have to burn 3 CD
[06:23] <leeuw> Admin__:  so what ?
 dont have 3 CD-RW
 all CD-R
[06:23] <leeuw> Admin__:  aha...
[06:23] <AdrianStrays> jayden: Actually, its not over yet.  Whats the extract command?
[06:23] <leeuw> Admin__:  use cd-r ?
[06:24] <bem> admin, you only need first cd for freebsd install
[06:24] <leeuw> Admin__:  or you think is a waste ?
[06:24] <timo1teo> quick question, with my live CD in the button (Fn F5) to switch the laptop screen off and instead project it on my monitor does not work, will that work when i fully install?
[06:24] <bazhang> Admin__: do the rest via net
[06:24] <jayden> Adrian: If you're still using the command line, it should be tar, I think... I haven't done much extracting through the command line.
[06:24] <zcat[1]> is there any way to burn three or four (or six) CD iso's to one DVD with some kind of boot-chooser menu?
[06:24] <thoreauputic> guys, freebsd is kind of off-topic  :)
[06:24] <bem> Admin__, the other 2 arent necessary, although putting em on a single image shouldnt be a problem
 according to me waste
[06:24] <leeuw> Admin__:  are they boot- cd's or cd's to run from windows ?
[06:24] <bazhang> #freebsd perhaps ?
[06:25] <acx> is there a way to get ubuntu to realize that ive inserted a winblowz disc into the cdrom? the main drive is recognizing it as a blank disc while my usb external mounts it properly. is there a way to either fix the main drive to mount properly or maybe get
[06:25] <zcat[1]> 'cos that would actually be wuite handy..
 <bem> they are ISO
[06:25] <zcat[1]> *quite
[06:25] <acx> VirtualBox to use the usb drive?
[06:25] <leeuw> Admin__:  but cost of one dvd= 3 or 4 cd ś (if you buy 25 spindle)
[06:25] <zcat[1]> haha.. where I buy.. 50 DVD's == $18 .. 50 CD's == $18
 <bem> actuallu i am ubuntu lover
[06:26] <leeuw> Admin__: that I get, but I mena, what would they do once they're on the disc; would they boot free-BSD (to install )
[06:26] <jayden> Adrian: I wish you luck with getting madwifi to work. Unfortunately, I have an English essay to finish for class in the morning.
 <bem> i want to give try
[06:26] <bazhang> acx: which vbox? the ose or the other
[06:26] <timo1teo> quick question, with my live CD in the button (Fn F5) to switch the laptop screen off and instead project it on my monitor does not work, will that work when i fully install?
[06:26] <acx> bazhang: vse
[06:26] <zcat[1]> so if I could stick 6 CD iso's onto one DVD and choose what to bbot, that would be awesome
[06:26] <leeuw> Admin__:  or would they just run from windows ?
[06:26] <zcat[1]> excuse my typos...
[06:26] <leeuw> Admin__:  to try
[06:26] <ChaosTheory_> I have awn installed and I'm trying to install the applets.
[06:26] <AdrianStrays> Jayden, no thats not it.
[06:26] <ChaosTheory_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=561810
[06:26] <bazhang> acx that is the non free one?
 <bem> yes :)
[06:26] <ChaosTheory_> I'm getting errors when I follow these instructions.
[06:27] <acx> bazhang: no thats a free one
[06:27] <leeuw> Admin__:  yes what ?
[06:27] <acx> VirtualBox!=VMWare
 <bem> i want to try freeBSD
[06:27] <leeuw> Admin__:  if they are to boot from,
[06:27] <bazhang> acx there is one in the repos ose that does not have the usb iirc and then another outside the repos that does
 <bem> yes
[06:28] <AdrianStrays> Does anyone know the extract command for archive manager?
[06:28] <acx> hmm maybe the source one
[06:28] <bazhang> Admin__: really what does this have to with ubuntu?
[06:28] <leeuw> Admin__:  yes, but how are the cd's to be used t try free-bsd; what does the webpage you loaded from say: should you boot the cd, or should you run it from windoze ?
[06:28] <timo1teo> quick question, with my live CD in the button (Fn F5) to switch the laptop screen off and instead project it on my monitor does not work, will that work when i fully install?
[06:28] <Fatedkiss> can someone help me with a Grub Error: 22 im getting?

[06:28] <timo1teo> just looking for a yes or no
 <bem> i found some torrent site one single DVD for BSD
[06:29] <zcat[1]> mmmm.. degauss didn't fix it either
[06:29] <leeuw> Admin__:  hm... how large are the iso's ?  (in Mb or Gb) ?
[06:29] <bazhang> timo1teo: is that a thinkpad? then it might work; otherwise you have to go into monitor/display and set it there in gnome iirc
 Gb
[06:30] <theman3> ok, now i've installed some irc clients and stuff... why can't i find them in "applications" menu?
[06:30] <timo1teo> thank you
 on mininova.org
[06:30] <AdrianStrays> Does anyone know the extract command for archive manager?
[06:30] <bazhang> why is my screen full of bsd?
[06:30] <zcat[1]> BSD?!!
[06:30] <Starnestommy> !ot
[06:30] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[06:30] <bazhang> the convo in here
[06:30] <ChaosTheory_> What's the command to install avant applets?
[06:30] <zcat[1]> nobody mentioned bsd?
[06:31] <leeuw> Admin__: OK, that means they are DVD-iso's, or in other words, you need a dvd for each, won't fit on cd's (if each iso is more than 700 Mb, say 4 Gb ?
[06:31] <tm24fan> I used to be able to mount and use my NTFS partitions just fine on Ubuntu, but now that I'm using 7.10 I suddenly can't mount either of them.  Any ideas?
[06:31] <bazhang> scroll up and look at Admin__
[06:31] <leeuw> Admin__:  do you have virtual drive with nero ?
[06:32] <acx> bah well the source thing wont work either... is there a way to get my cdrom to recognize the winblowz cd instead of it thinking its a blank?
[06:32] <kindofabuzz> how do i edit groups command line? well edit the groups a user is part of?
[06:32] <AdrianStrays> :( Does anyone body know the extract command for archive manager?
[06:32] <ChaosTheory_> I can't seem to install awn applets. Any help? =| Mostly I'm getting the error that it can't find the package. . .
[06:32] <leeuw> Admin__: suddenly realised; we're off-topic if you're not on ubuntu but xp, and about BSD; makes no sense on ubuntu-channel right ?   best we stop, you google for iso and bsd; all the best !
[06:33] <leeuw> sorry other users, wasn't thinking
 ya sorry for that :)
[06:33] <zcat[1]> reminds me.. I should probably check out a BSD iso and see what it's like, haven't run it for about 5 years now..
[06:34] <leeuw> Admin__: never mind, can happen :-/
 i am also ubuntu GNOME user bye guya
[06:34] <Fatedkiss> anyone know anything reguarding an issue with  Grub Error:22
[06:34] <bazhang> Admin__: I just went to the freebsd channel and they said only need one cd for install
[06:34] <leeuw> Admin__: ok, in that case; go ubuntu, easier too: mount iso's and see whatś on'm, maybe readme about how to use' m ?
[06:35] <leeuw> Admin__: you know how to mount iso in ubuntu ?
[06:35] <bem> baz, i told him that 15m ago before someone suggested (and i agreed) that its not really on-topic here
[06:35] <godfreyhk> Hmm, I need some advice on how to partition my server. I'll be using that as a web server (php/RoR/MySQL/ftp). I've got 512MB RAM, one 80 GB and one 60GB hdd. Any suggestion?
[06:35] <bazhang> Admin__: ##freebsd is the channel for more info
 yes
 let me try bsd channel :)
[06:35] <godfreyhk> I'm install ubuntu server btw
[06:35] <godfreyhk> * installing
[06:35] <leeuw> Admin__: good luck then, take bazhang 's hint, good luck !

[06:36] <shinynew> Hello I am testing 8.04, so this may not be the right channel, but I just lost all recongition of my wireless card, It used to show up on the restricted drivers page and the nm-applet
[06:36] <shinynew> but now i see nothing
[06:36] <nii> anybody clear with how to configure dns and dhcp combined?
[06:36] <bem> this might be mildly off-topic, but does anyone know if proprietary drivers fail to interoperate with vmware? i cant get bridging to work with my wifi, works fine with my eth0 though
[06:36] <shinynew> I think an update caused it, but I just want to know how to fix it
[06:36] <shinynew> how do i get it to recognize my card?
[06:36] <bazhang> shinynew: there is a channle for that
[06:36] <Starnestommy> shinynew: #ubuntu+1 is for 8.04
[06:37] <Parsec300> shinynew, perhaps a broadcom card?
[06:37] <shinynew> Parsec300: I think so i am not sure, I can look it up in a sec
[06:37] <kenboo> what package has manuals for libc?
[06:37] <kenboo> libc-dev?
[06:37] <shinynew> but i am goign to the other channel
[06:38] <godfreyhk> should I be asking this in the server channel instead?
[06:39] <Starnestommy> kenboo: it might be manpages-dev
[06:40] <kenboo> ok, thanks
[06:40] <kenboo> Starnestommy:  bingo. thanks!
[06:41] <bem> be nice if that was in build-essentials
[06:42] <chains> how do i do folder sharing over a network when one of the computers is xp?
[06:43] <kenboo> samba
[06:43] <acke_n> chains smb?
[06:43] <n-iCe> is there any other way to go to the themes applications?
[06:43] <Daisuke_Ido> chains, samba, or you can get creative
[06:43] <n-iCe> maybe a terminal command?
[06:43] <Daisuke_Ido> install SFU on the windows box and use NFS all around
[06:43] <chains> ok, ill try samba, do i just install it on ubuntu?
[06:44] <acke_n> n-ice sudo apt-get install ubuntu-themes?
[06:44] <n-iCe> oh
[06:44] <acke_n> not sure there are a package called ubuntu-themes
[06:44] <n-iCe> acke_n,  I mean to join
[06:44] <n-iCe> I can't find the themes on the menu bar
[06:45] <acke_n> ooh
[06:45] <chains> i am seeing a lot of things when i search for samba
[06:45] <acke_n> its in preferences i think
[06:45] <bazhang> bem what is the host machine? you are trying to share a wifi connection with the guest machine (in VM) and cannot connect?
[06:45] <bem> the host machine is ubuntu i386
[06:46] <bem> cant even vmware-config the interface for bridging
[06:46] <bem> it fails when config exits, and vmware wont start
[06:46] <bem> and yeah, im trying to share in bridging mode my wifi, nat isnt working for me either
[06:47] <bazhang> xp is the guest?
[06:47] <bem> no
[06:47] <bem> but it doesnt matter, because it doesnt get that far
[06:47] <bem> vmware totally fails to start
[06:47] <bem> not fails to power up on guest, but totally fails to start
[06:47] <AlphaOmega> how do you get time for other timezones?
[06:47] <bem> says there's a config error, because the binding to ath0 failed
[06:47] <bazhang> what about launching vmware from terminal what does that report
[06:47] <AlphaOmega> to show up on the desktop?
[06:47] <bem> that reports the config error i mentioned
[06:48] <bem> because vmware-config thinks it can bind to the wifi, but at the end when it goes to enable it, it cant
[06:48] <chains> samba does not see my home pc on the network
[06:48] <bazhang> that is odd; though never used an atheros card--intel card does fine
[06:49] <n-iCe> acke_n,  but I don't see it
[06:49] <n-iCe> :<
[06:49] <bem> ironically, i use the card i use for the broad os support :)

[07:14] <bazhang> Johnson_: the libgpod should sort that
[07:14] <joe1> the file isn't there at all? or it wasn't when you pushed up?
[07:16] <chains> when i pushed up
[07:16] <joe1> oh yeah sometimes it doesn't go in there not sure why
[07:16] <chains> ok, i changed the work group, change anything else?
[07:16] <joe1> but are you making progress with it?
[07:16] <Johnson_> bazhang, so libgpod is something i should download or it comes out in 16 days with the new ubuntu release?
[07:16] <joe1> netbios just to your name or whatever (I use Ubuntu for my netbios name)
[07:16] <joe1> you can also change the paths if you want anything of yours to be shared on the network
[07:17] <bazhang> Johnson_: there is a deb you can grab now for gutsy or just wait and get in next release
[07:17] <gg> hi,there

[07:19] <softtower> How come in Gnome "search" button does not do anything at all? I am in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gnome 2.20), I press this littel button on Nautilus toolbar whose tooltip says "Locate documents and folders by name or content". It replaces the location bar with a search box, I type "a" or "b" or whatever - nothing ever shows up, even if I type an exact file name of a file in the current directory. It simply does not search!
[07:19] <joe1> it's asking for a password for your computer or another one you are trying to access?
[07:19] <chains> my computer.
[07:19] <bazhang> Johnson_: you need the 0.6.0 or better

[07:24] <joe1> r9k please don't use terms like that, leave if you want to be prejudice

[07:25] <bazhang> r9k: dont do that again--that is really wrong
[07:25] <r9k> also, ubuntu messed with my startup with windows
[07:25] <jim> r9k: so you were trying to find out?
[07:26] <bazhang> how is that behaviour not a ban?
[07:26] <r9k> I was wondering if reinstalling windows from my cd would remove grub
[07:26] <sleepster> yes
[07:26] <unop__> did i sense some anti-semitism from r9k ?
[07:26] <r9k> no, not antisemitism
[07:27] <jim> and he's acting all nice now that he knows he can get booted
[07:27] <joe1> we can drop it, just don't do it again
[07:27] <r9k> my ciusin is jewish
[07:27] <jussi01> Lets move on shall we?
[07:27] <bazhang> I'm really thinking of leaving this channel for good
[07:27] <joe1> agreed
[07:27] <kevikevtmc> isn't there a way to remove grub and re-install windows NTLDR on the MBR?
[07:27] <r9k> so reinstalling windows should remove groub (no, I will not remove system32)
[07:27] <sleepster> kevikevtmc: just install windows.. it will do it for you

[07:27] <n-iCe> will I find limewire on synaptic??
[07:28] <sleepster> r9k: yes it will.. but it may render your machine unbootable
[07:28] <kevikevtmc> What about the repair option
[07:28] <r9k> unbootable?
[07:28] <bazhang> sorry eric84 I have to cool off for a second
[07:28] <sleepster> r9k I was just kidding
[07:28] <eric84> no problem man, i hear ya

[07:28] <bullgard4> What does 'fg' for in the 'fgconsole' command?

[07:29] <bullgard4> sleepster: Thank you.

[07:34] <nickrud> joe1 typp:  utf8,umask=000 missed a comma
[07:34] <joe1> I don't think that will work but I'll try
[07:34] <joe1> can you give me the full line I should use
[07:34] <bullgard4> sleepster: Yes, I have almost forgotten that.
[07:34] <joe1> I've tried like ten things and nothing works the way I want it to
[07:34] <joe1> :(

[07:35] <nickrud> joe1     /dev/sdb5 /media/disk vfat utf8,umask=000 0  1  <--- the umask is the key, 000 gives everyone read/write/execute
[07:35] <jim> joe1: it might be helpful if you tell him what went wrong with each of the 10 things you tried
[07:35] <joe1> yeah that doesn't work I don't think, I'm not sure why (I actually posted a bug in Hardy)
[07:35] <joe1> https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213537 there are the things I've tried
[07:35] <nickrud> joe1 using it myself
[07:36] <joe1> (exaggerated 10 times ;) ) but still the last issue is the weirdest
[07:36] <bobbo85> Is there any way to just record whatever sound is playing?  I assumed sound recorder would work, but unfortunately it doesn't.

[07:37] <eric84> bazhang: doin alright?
[07:37] <nickrud> joe1 yes, very strange that you see that. Try giving the vfat a label, it will automount with that name on the desktop
[07:38] <joe1> yes both are vfat and they both worked flawlessly in Gutsy
[07:38] <nickrud> joe1 or at least, here it does

[07:54] <eric84> i've tried my best to get wireless running with the ubuntu forums but can't seem to get it... anyone mind running through a diagnosis with me?
[07:54] <Ububegin> what is the command to find the number of files in a direcotyr
[07:55] <pclynch> how do i log out and go back to the log in screen through the terminal?
[07:55] <AliRezaTaleghani> nickrud: do u known any froum or manual, for me to learn how ro work with "python-opengl" lib?
[07:55] <matt_________> I'm unable to run gnome, anybody have any ideas?
[07:55] <tenchi21> hi
[07:55] <eric84> hey
[07:55] <thoreauputic> matt__: maybe Gnome has a problem with too many underscores ;p
[07:56] <matt_________> lol
[07:56] <nickrud> AliRezaTaleghani python-opengl-doc , another package ;)
[07:56] <soldats> pclynch: maybe sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[07:56] <AliRezaTaleghani> matt_________: "$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[07:56] <AliRezaTaleghani> "
[07:56] <AliRezaTaleghani> nickrud: :P tnx
[07:56] <matt_________> i'll try it thanks
[07:56] <AliRezaTaleghani> ;)
[07:56] <AliRezaTaleghani> matt_________: yw
[07:56] <Ububegin> C'mon guys , try to get easy to type nicks.... :S
[07:57] <jim> matt_________: heya, I have some problems with my diet, people, figuring out something, and eating mayonaise ice cream... any ideas?
[07:57]  * amidaniel teaches Ububegin about tab-completion
[07:57] <bazhang> use tab completion Ububegin
[07:58] <soldats> lulz
[07:58] <matt_____> it still can't run ubuntu, but at least I have a better resolution now
[07:58] <matt_____> i mean it can't run gnome
[07:58] <jim> why?
[07:58] <matt_____> I have no idea
[07:58] <Ububegin> bazhang: U mean chatzilla has tab completion ... O_O
[07:58] <bazhang> matt_____: this is ubuntu or ubuntu based
[07:58] <nickrud> matt_____   sudo adduser testuser, try logging in with another user to see if it's system or user config issues
[07:59] <eric84> bazhang: sorry to keep bothering you, do you have a minute or two?
[07:59] <bazhang> not sure Ububegin never used it sorry
[07:59] <thoreauputic> Ububegin: if not, get a decent IRC client :)
[07:59] <nickrud> Ububegin ewww
[07:59] <romme> what font would you recommend to use for the interface?
[07:59] <bazhang> eric84: it seems that ndiswrapper is the best bet for that card; do you have the windows drivers
[07:59] <matt______> sorry I accidently disconnected, what did you suggest?
[07:59] <jim> finding out why
[07:59] <nickrud> matt_____   sudo adduser testuser, try logging in with another user to see if it's system or user config issues
[08:00] <Ububegin> sorry guys, I use chatzilla... Which IRC client for ubuntu comes with tab completion
[08:00] <tenchi21> how do I enable stereo sound for my desktop speakers? all i get is the right channel working (nforce)
[08:00] <bazhang> matt______: this is ubuntu or ubuntu based
[08:00] <bobbo85> Can anyone help me record a song that's got a "preview" online?
[08:00] <thoreauputic> matt______: seriously man, that many underscores gets kind of annoying even with tab comletion
[08:00] <eric84> bazhang: probably in a dusty box somewhere, should i dl ndiswrapper and then copy it over to the ubuntu machine?
[08:00] <bazhang> Ububegin: xchat and others
[08:00] <Slart> Ububegin: xchat, irssi.. almost all I suppose
[08:00] <joe1> tenchi21: try sudo apt-get install alsamixergui
[08:01] <bazhang> eric84: that seems to be the best choice at this point; lots of bugs in launchpad and gutsy with that card--many of them closed unresolved
[08:01] <AliRezaTaleghani> what should i add to my "/etc/sudoers" , for making ing my "shayne" user work with "sudo" command  without need of password intering???
[08:01] <soldats> tenchi21: run "alsamixer" and un mute everything sometimes the stereo gets muted
[08:01] <AliRezaTaleghani> is this enough "shayne ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL"???
[08:01] <eric84> bazhang: thanks for your help... any recommendations on a cheap new card that would work well? ;)
[08:01] <gluer> any way to set the bottom status bar to the left or right and make it smaller width?
[08:02] <bazhang> eric84: this is for a desktop or a laptop
[08:02] <eric84> desktop, an oooold one
[08:02] <Matth> yeah i'm using a different user but that didn't help
[08:02] <jim> matthL
[08:02] <thoreauputic> AliRezaTaleghani: just do sudo adduser <foo> admin
[08:02] <jim> did it create a new profile for that user?
[08:02] <bazhang> eric84: atheros perhaps but avoid broadcom if at all possible
[08:02] <Ububegin> Anyway for all you chatzilliacs, you can enable "auto completion" by putting a */d* , before you type.. Cheers
[08:03] <thoreauputic> AliRezaTaleghani: assuming that you have a standard install...
[08:03] <eric84> bazhang: will do, thanks again
[08:03] <gaten> im having trouble opening a .wml file. wapua won't open the file I've got, any alternatives?
[08:03] <AliRezaTaleghani> thoreauputic: :) nice, i will test it
[08:03] <Matth> I"m not sure, I used your command
[08:03] <thoreauputic> AliRezaTaleghani: make sur ethe user logs out / in to make it stick
[08:03] <jim> irc autocompletion ought to work like bash autocompletion
[08:04] <AliRezaTaleghani> thoreauputic: but the "shayne" user exist now!
[08:04] <nickrud> Matth when you tried logging in as that user, exactly what happened?
[08:04] <AliRezaTaleghani> thoreauputic: is it important?
[08:04] <Matth> same exact thing
[08:04] <thoreauputic> AliRezaTaleghani: that's OK - just get shayne to log out and in after you add him to the group
[08:04] <nickrud> which was? (for those of us who came in late)
[08:04] <Matth> I got an error saying cannot start gnome settings daemon
[08:04] <Ububegin> jim: I agree with you, but i find the current "auto completion" crappy....
[08:04] <AliRezaTaleghani> thoreauputic: huum, tnx
[08:05] <thoreauputic> AliRezaTaleghani: group changes take effect on next login
[08:05] <gg> jim, irc is a shell,lol
[08:05] <Adantan_Alex> how do i put ubuntu on a computer with xubuntu?
[08:05] <jim> a very empty, powerless shell
[08:05] <tenchi21> soldats, after i instal that and then open it using the apps menu i get a white box
[08:05] <AliRezaTaleghani> thoreauputic: yep , i get what u mean :) thanks
[08:05] <Adantan_Alex> like test if it works
[08:05] <thoreauputic> Adantan_Alex: sudoa ptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[08:05] <nickrud> Matth I've seen people come here with that error, but I don't know the cause, sorry
[08:05] <Adantan_Alex> what if ubuntu doesnt work? what do i do?
[08:06] <thoreauputic> Adantan_Alex: aorry sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[08:06] <thoreauputic> Adantan_Alex: it probably will :)
[08:06] <Adantan_Alex> yes but if it doesnt?
[08:06] <Slart> Adantan_Alex: install something else?
[08:06] <jim> teach it a trade... get it a job... pay it minimum wage... beat it... kick it... make it write bad checks...
[08:06] <thoreauputic> Adantan_Alex: umm... it's just gnome + extras
[08:06] <Adantan_Alex> and im dual booting windows and ubuntu
[08:06] <thoreauputic> Adantan_Alex: just do it
[08:07] <thoreauputic> Adantan_Alex: you choose the gnome session before login when it's installed
[08:07] <thoreauputic> Adantan_Alex: the dual boot has nothing to do with it :)
[08:07] <Adantan_Alex> so if i install it the next time i load my computer on the boot loader it will show windows, ubuntu and xubuntu? o0
[08:07] <bazhang> they give ops with fruit loops these days?
[08:08] <jim> are you saying it doesn't boot?
[08:08] <AliRezaTaleghani> thoreauputic: "The user `shayne' is already a member of `admin'."   this was the out put, as i told the 'shayne' use exist , and as u told, it's a member of "admin" group,   maybe i asked my question wrong!
[08:08] <AliRezaTaleghani> i want to remove the need of passeord intering, when i use "sudo" for a command, ! ;)
[08:08] <jim> oopsloops!
[08:08] <thoreauputic> Adantan_Alex: no - grub show swin and Ubu - thelogin options show xubuntu or ubuntu
[08:08] <Flannel> AliRezaTaleghani: Why do you need to do that?
[08:08] <Adantan_Alex> wow thanks
[08:08] <AliRezaTaleghani> Flannel: cos, i use sudo more :)
[08:08] <tenchi21> I installed alsmamixergui and that didn't work for getting stereo sound working
[08:08] <Adantan_Alex> and if i chose can i un install ubuntu at 1 stage?
[08:08] <thoreauputic> Adantan_Alex: adding ubuntu-desktop doesn't chnagethe underlying operating system
[08:09] <AliRezaTaleghani> i know their is a way with editing the "etc/sudoer" file, but i can't remmber that
[08:09] <Adantan_Alex> yes but can i chose to un install ubuntu at 1 stage?
[08:09] <thoreauputic> Adantan_Alex: if you use aptitude, yes - you would do  sudo aptitude purge ubuntu-desktop
[08:09] <Adantan_Alex> and that will get rid of ubuntu?
[08:09] <pantsd_> I filed my first bug on launchpad :)
[08:10] <thoreauputic> Adantan_Alex: I think you ar econfused
[08:10] <Adantan_Alex> ....
[08:10] <pantsd_> Do you think there is anymore information I should attach to it ? [ https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ghc6/+bug/213775 ]
[08:10] <thoreauputic> Adantan_Alex: ubuntu-desktop is  a desktop like xfce in xubuntu
[08:10] <jim> Adantan_Alex: what means .....?
[08:10] <joe1> gluer: right click the panel click properties and uncheck expand
[08:10] <Adantan_Alex> ah so its like installing a game?
[08:10] <thoreauputic> Adantan_Alex: that is, it's just a collection of apps :)
[08:10] <Adantan_Alex> awsome ty
[08:11] <Adantan_Alex> so sudo apt-get ubuntu-desktop
[08:11] <thoreauputic> Adantan_Alex: it's like installing any complex set of apps yes
[08:11] <joe1> any way to "purge" system of out dated stuff (my partition is quickly getting crammed)
[08:11] <Adantan_Alex> yeah i just installed wine
[08:11] <Adantan_Alex> so yeah its ok
[08:11] <Adantan_Alex> thanks
[08:11] <thoreauputic> Adantan_Alex: NO - sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[08:11] <bullgard4> unop, thoreauputic, Flannel: Thank you for explaining.
[08:11] <Adantan_Alex> oh yeah soz
[08:11] <thoreauputic> bullgard4: np :)
[08:12] <joe1> what is this ubuntu-desktop install?
[08:12] <thoreauputic> Adantan_Alex: the advantage of using aptitude in this case is that if you want to remove ubuntu-desktop later aptitude will also uninstall the dependencies
[08:12] <Adantan_Alex> ok thanks
[08:13] <Flannel> AliRezaTaleghani: you shouldn't remove the password prompt, just enter your password.  Security is a wonderful thing, and once you get through a week or two, you'll use sudo less and eventually almost not at all (and if you aren't, you may be doing something wrong)
[08:13] <AliRezaTaleghani> :D i found that way! if anybody like to do that, this is the way
[08:13] <AliRezaTaleghani> add the following line to "/etc/sudoers"
[08:13] <AliRezaTaleghani> %<your-user-name> ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL
[08:13] <thoreauputic> joel it's the way Ubuntu knows what to install for a full desktop - it's a "metapackage"
[08:13] <AliRezaTaleghani> Flannel: ;) i do that
[08:13] <Adantan_Alex> oh 1 more thing
[08:13] <joe1> ohh interesting
[08:13] <Adantan_Alex> nm
[08:14] <Adantan_Alex> thanks
[08:14] <Flannel> AliRezaTaleghani: We know how, its not a good practice.
[08:14] <AliRezaTaleghani> Flannel: but, i use "sudo" more that 100 times in a day, if i use it less :D
[08:15] <AliRezaTaleghani> Flannel: i know, what u mean about scurity, but this is my home PC , by the way, tnx for ur help :*
[08:15] <Flannel> AliRezaTaleghani: You're probably doing somethign wrong then.  And you should probably go outside more.  Using the computer for 17 hours every day isn't healthy.
[08:15] <joe1> lol yeah 17 hours is pushing mentally insane
[08:15] <Flannel> AliRezaTaleghani: Sudo stores the password for 10 minutes, you know that right?  What are you using sudo for 100 times every day?
[08:15] <Adantan_Alex> lol?
[08:15] <AliRezaTaleghani> Flannel: yep, :'(, a bit more, aroung 19 - 20 hour in a day
[08:16] <joe1> you need a g/f or b/f
[08:16] <joe1> (sorry low blow)
[08:16] <Flannel> AliRezaTaleghani: What are you using sudo with 100 times a day?
[08:16] <maek> Flannel please don't jump the gun and ban people without looking at what they have actually done   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/61713/
[08:16] <Flannel> AliRezaTaleghani: since, I honestly think you're doing something wrong setup wise.
[08:16] <AliRezaTaleghani> Flannel: cos, i damage my PC more, :)
[08:17] <AliRezaTaleghani> Flannel: it's ur kind. :)
[08:17] <Flannel> maek: You were pasting.  And that was ages ago.
[08:17] <maek> Flannel, it was an honest mistake ... a warning could have been sufficient
[08:17] <Flannel> maek: The ops temporarily ban you, until the paste is over.
[08:18] <maek> well you made a mistake and banned me permanently
[08:18] <crdlb> maek: he's not even an op
[08:18] <gbates31> hi
[08:18] <joe1> hey gbates
[08:18] <maek> I was a little miffed because I was in the middle of helping someone solve a problem
[08:18] <gbates31> does anyone here use linux?
[08:18] <joe1> all of us
[08:18] <headrx> no no one here does
[08:18]  * gg thinks he is booooosssss
[08:18] <tenchi21> ok ubuntu is seeing my soundcard as having 2 cards and I need to force it to set it fr stereo only having a right speaker working sucks
[08:18] <maek> yep gbates31
[08:18] <gbates31> wtf
[08:19] <maek> Linux Linux Linux
[08:19] <joe1> this is a ubuntu chat....of course we use linux
[08:19] <gbates31> i have ubuntu 7,10 installed right now and i want to dual boot with windows XP and not lose any files.  how do i do this?
[08:20] <joe1> you should have windows installed first, makes it much easier
[08:20] <kindofabuzz> stick it in and install, it will know windoze is there
[08:20] <joe1> then make two other partitions (or three) for root (linux os), /home (partition for user files) and SWAP
[08:20] <gbates31> *head thru wall*
[08:20] <kindofabuzz> just don't delete it =)
[08:21] <gbates31> ok thanks
[08:21] <joe1> why do you want windows installed?
[08:21] <Adantan_Alex> no u make at least 10 gigabytes of free space
[08:21] <gbates31> i cant live much lnger without Team Fortress 2
[08:21] <joe1> try wine
[08:21] <kindofabuzz> i thin tf works in wine
[08:21] <n-iCe> is there any vmware for ubunru?
[08:21] <joe1> http://www.fsckin.com/2007/10/15/how-to-run-team-fortress-2-half-life-2-hl2-ep-12-in-ubuntu-using-wine/
[08:21] <gbates31> tfc or tf2?
[08:22] <kindofabuzz> look it up
[08:22] <n-iCe> !xmware
[08:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xmware - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[08:22] <joe1> that link will do it for you
[08:22] <kindofabuzz> google tf2 wine
[08:22] <n-iCe> !vmware
[08:22] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it. Instructions can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware - See also !virtualizers
[08:22] <thoreauputic> !info vmplayer | n-iCe
[08:22] <ubotu> n-ice: Package vmplayer does not exist in gutsy
[08:22] <thoreauputic> hhmm
[08:22] <thoreauputic> !info vmware-player | n-iCe
[08:22] <ubotu> n-ice: Package vmware-player does not exist in gutsy
[08:22] <gbates31> tf2 will work ok on this laptop, but emulating it?  ill pass
[08:22] <thoreauputic> I give up :)
[08:23] <Adantan_Alex> ur not emulating
[08:23] <joe1> yeah that's not emulating
[08:23] <gbates31> wine isnt emulation?
[08:23] <Adantan_Alex> wine loads windows .exe files
[08:23] <gbates31> madness
[08:23] <pajamian> wine actually stands for Wine Is Not and Emulator
[08:23] <scheater5> gbates31: lol - Wine Is Not an Emulator.
[08:23] <pajamian> *an
[08:23] <thoreauputic> Wine Is Not an Emulator +
[08:23] <gbates31> oh
[08:24] <thoreauputic> gbates31: it recreates the windows api IIRC
[08:24] <gbates31> iirc?
[08:24] <kindofabuzz> gbates31, www.winehq.com
[08:24] <pajamian> yes, it's not an emulator because it doesn't emulate the CPU.  You have to have an i386 cpu for it.
[08:24] <unop__> provides an implementation of the windows API rather
[08:24] <thoreauputic> If I remember Correctly
[08:25] <thoreauputic> unop__: right - thanks, more accurate :)
[08:25] <Adantan_Alex> plus u should of dual boot windows and ubuntu
[08:25] <Adantan_Alex> i did
[08:25] <pajamian> basically it just provides a wrapper or translation layer from the windows API to the corresponding Linux ones.
[08:25] <unop__> thoreauputic,  more accurate but not enough i dont think :)
[08:25] <joe1> I see no reason to install a whole OS just for TF2
[08:25] <gbates31> i have wine, bit it doesnt work for some progs.  plus having 64-bit proc can be annoying sometimes
[08:26] <thoreauputic> unop__: ah well - I can't say I understand it really anyway :)
[08:26] <Adantan_Alex> well ur next option is to re install windows
[08:26] <pajamian> gbates31: I actually recommend that for a workstation you install the 32 bit versino of ubuntu, even on a 64 bit machine.
[08:26] <Adantan_Alex> that will work too
[08:27]  * thoreauputic wonders if the disease that causes people to use "u" instead of "you" is some kind of Internet virus...
[08:27] <gbates31> i was cruising around the pirate bay for the past week and got some old abandonware and other stuff that id rather not hassle around with wine
[08:27] <Adantan_Alex> ....
[08:27] <codename> How would I add Compiz to my applications menu
[08:27] <codename> in 7.10
[08:27] <JanPeter> it is much quicker
[08:27] <unop__> thoreauputic, dint u no tat alredi? :)
[08:27] <codename> Thanks
[08:27] <pajamian> thoreauputic: lazy typing disease?  it's spread via a computer virus?
[08:27] <joe1> sudo apt-get install compizconif-settings-manager
[08:27] <codename> I did.
[08:27] <codename> Now what?
[08:27] <codename> I still don't see it
[08:28] <joe1> you installed the settings manager?
[08:28] <Xawas> Yesterday I changed my network driver fram rt61pci to rt61 and works great now. But now I do not get Mongrel to work. No brower respond to the http://<IP_ADDRESS>:3000 anymore.. Anyone knows why?
[08:28] <thoreauputic> pajamian: heh - wel i guess I can't complain. My typing is atrocious
[08:28] <codename> yea
[08:28] <codename> now what?
[08:28] <pajamian> thoreauputic: hehehe
[08:28] <thoreauputic> pajamian: as evidenced by that last post :)
[08:28] <joe1> now it should be in preferences under advanced desktop settings
[08:28] <Adantan_Alex> no oz
[08:28] <unop__> thoreauputic, you forgot a fullstop there. :)
[08:28] <Adantan_Alex> soz*
[08:28] <thoreauputic> unop__: oh, the shame!
[08:28] <joe1> advanced desktop effects settings to be exact
[08:28] <codename> No, I know that, I'm trying to get a Compiz settings manager on my Applications menu
[08:29] <codename> Where I can just click it
[08:29] <joe1> you can just click it there in system, preferences, advanced desktop effects settings.....
[08:29] <Adantan_Alex> .... lol
[08:29] <unop__> Xawas, http://<IP_ADDRESS>:3000 should never have worked in the first place, does http://<IP_ADDRESS>:3000 work?
[08:30] <joe1> if you really want it in applications also just right click the applications and go to edit menu and add it a hundred times wherever you want ;)
[08:30] <Xawas> unop__, nope
[08:31] <Xawas> unop__, it says that: ** Starting Mongrel listening at <IP_ADDRESS>:3000, so it should work.. It did work..
[08:31] <Xawas> but not anymore..
[08:31] <unop__> Xawas, i'm assuming mongrel is a network service here .. is it even running? do you have anything listening on port 3000?
[08:31] <Oprtz> hello
[08:31] <gatestone>  I just wonder...has anyone attempted to start a distribution based on Webmin?
[08:31] <pajamian> Xawas: that means it is listening on all available interfaces (<IP_ADDRESS> is a special code for that), you cannot, however, access it at <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:32] <Xawas> unop__, kinda new to linux world, but is there a cmd to check what is listening on diffrent ports?
[08:32] <pajamian> Xawas: netstat -l
[08:32] <unop__> Xawas, ps aux | grep -i mongrel; netstat -antp | grep -i :3000
[08:32] <Oprtz> can somebody tell me please how a person get " initramfs " error while installing ubuntu ? what is this? how to protect against it? thanks
[08:32] <scheater5> anyone know their way around vnc? I got some weirdness trying to screen share into OSX
[08:32] <Xawas> unop__, tcp        0      0 <IP_ADDRESS>:3000            <IP_ADDRESS>:*               LISTEN     6762/ruby
[08:33] <Wayne^R2> "netstat -a" once got a coworker of mine fired for figuring out who was using VNC to spy on us - it was the boss.  lol
[08:33] <joe1> Oprtz: with that error try the alternative cd
[08:33] <pajamian> Oprtz: that error meas either your install CD is corrupted, you have a defective cd rom drive, or bad RAM.
[08:34] <Oprtz> i tried alternate CD as well
[08:34] <unop__> Xawas, hmm, looks good so far .. what does this give you?  http://localhost:3000
[08:34] <pajamian> Oprtz: did you run the install CD test from the boot menu?
[08:34] <Xawas> unop__, it just hangs...
[08:34] <ikm> pajamian: but i can install windowsXP on same DVD rom drive.
[08:35] <pajamian> Oprtz: did you run the install CD test from the boot menu?
[08:35] <unop__> Xawas, it could be that mongrel or ruby have a problem .. does mongrel have any logfiles you can examine?
[08:35] <ikm> somebody told me that i want to repair my MBR
[08:35] <unop__> Xawas,  you could also try this?   wget http://localhost:3000
[08:35] <ikm> yes i boot with the alternate CD test .. test was OK
[08:36] <joe1> can you run live distro at all?
[08:36] <pajamian> ikm: ok, well this is not am MBR problem.  It won't even load up the install, right?
[08:36] <ikm> joe1: NO
[08:36] <joe1> sounds like RAM issue to me now
[08:36] <ikm> pajamian: exactly
[08:36] <Adantan_Alex> yep
[08:36] <Xawas> unop__,  ok two secs
[08:36] <pajamian> ikm: I would lean towards a RAM problem, run memtest from the boot menu
[08:36] <joe1> run the RAM test over night
[08:36] <ikm> so any solution or i need to buy another HDD?
[08:36] <joe1> let it do like 10 passes
[08:37] <joe1> it's not HDD it's RAM
[08:37] <joe1> run the test and search for errors
[08:37] <Xawas> unop__, Connecting to localhost|<IP_ADDRESS>|:3000...  (just hangs there)
[08:37] <joe1> just let it go 12-24 hours
[08:37] <pajamian> no, it's not HDD, if the HDD were the problem it would still boot up the Live CD
[08:37] <Xawas> unop__, doesnt seem to be anything in the log file either
[08:37] <Adantan_Alex> !alternate | ikm
[08:37] <ubotu> ikm: The Alternate CD is a classical text-mode install CD. It supports a wider range of hardware than the !LiveCD, and can also be used as an upgrade CD.  Look for the alternate checkbox on the Ubuntu download page - See also !minimal
[08:37] <ikm> joe1: but rar is working perfectly under XP
[08:37] <unop__> Xawas, try restarting mongrel (i don't know how that is done) .. see if that helps somehow
[08:38] <pajamian> ikm: you will probably see an error in memtest by the time it finishes the first pass, if you see any errors you need not continue running it, you know at that point your RAM is bad.
[08:38] <joe1> that doesn't matter, RAM is used much differently in linux
[08:38] <joe1> it's much more efficient
[08:38] <Adantan_Alex> true
[08:38] <Adantan_Alex> and it uses a partition
[08:38] <joe1> RAM never goes to waste in linux, so if there is a problem at all it could cause it not to boot correctly
[08:38] <ikm> ohhhhh
[08:38] <pajamian> ikm: Linux tends to be less forgiving of bad RAM than windows.
[08:38] <Xawas> unop__, nope.. hehe nothing works.. so wierd.. all this happend after i changed the network driver..
[08:38] <joe1> in Windows RAM is only partially used so if you have an issue at the end of a stick or something like that it would never be caught unless you hit like 90% + RAM use
[08:39] <Adantan_Alex> yes but the live CD uses about 384 megabytes of RAM
[08:39] <joe1> no it doesn't, it uses 100% but only 384 at a time ;)
[08:39] <joe1> that's how linux uses RAM
[08:39] <Adantan_Alex> true
[08:39] <x0x> hello
[08:39] <joe1> hi x0x
[08:39] <bobbo85> I can't seem to record any audio, can anyone help me?
[08:39] <x0x> how do i install nameserver
[08:40] <ikm> listen, i tried to install windowsXP on the same machne and i get this error " Unexpeced error (32769) occurred at line 5218 in d:\xpsprtm\base\setup.c
[08:40] <Adantan_Alex> do u have a C Drive?
[08:40] <unop__> Xawas, i'm not sure this is a problem with the network driver but i also don't know enough about mongrel (first time i am hearing of it) to troubleshoot the service ..
[08:40] <pajamian> ikm: we can't troubleshoot your windows problems here.
[08:40] <joe1> sorry I don't know much about windows
[08:40] <x0x> is there anyway to create nameserver on ubuntu?
[08:40] <joe1> I would just recommend the RAM test
[08:40] <Xawas> unop__, mongrel is another webserver like webrick, if you ever heard of that?
[08:41] <ikm> ahhhh ok :)
[08:41] <ikm> so u guys sugges me to cheke RAM ?
[08:41] <Adantan_Alex> private chat
[08:41] <thoreauputic> x0x: sudo apt-get install bind9  <-- that's only one way though
[08:41] <pajamian> ikm: yes
[08:41] <joe1> yeah do the mem test
[08:41] <joe1> from the ubuntu cd
[08:41] <unop__> Xawas, not really :) not much into ruby and it's extensions, i gathered it was a webserver
[08:41] <Adantan_Alex> if there r any more errors then private chat me
[08:41] <pajamian> ikm: there is a very handy program for that you can access from the boot menu of the Live CD called memcheck.
[08:41] <ikm> if i get ram errors , need to change ram then
[08:41] <DJones> ikm: You could try in ##windows, they might be able to help with a windows install problem
[08:41] <x0x> thoreauputic i have it.. what i need to do now?
[08:41] <thoreauputic> x0x: i think you need to do some reading
[08:41] <Adantan_Alex> i know about windows
[08:42] <x0x> i want like ns1.something.com for dns
[08:42] <pajamian> ikm: yes, but if you have more than one stick pull one out at a time to find out what the bad stick is, you probably don't have to replace all of them.
[08:42] <unop__> x0x, what kind of name resolution are you trying to provide? netbios or dns?
[08:42] <thoreauputic> x0x: google is your friend in this case - also read the Ubuntu server help - see http://help.ubuntu.com
[08:42] <x0x> unop__ dns
[08:42] <Adantan_Alex> hey with serve edition can u make ur own domain for free?
[08:42] <ikm> i have only 1 stick of 512RAm :)
[08:42] <Xawas> unop__, hehe ok ;-) hmm well thx anyway =)
[08:43] <joe1> time to upgrade RAM anyways ;)
[08:43] <MrMist> I'm running the new ubuntu beta and got a few issues. How do I approach this ? I'd like to help :)
[08:43] <thoreauputic> unop__: x0x seems to be trying to become a sysadmin overnight ;p
[08:43] <tarelerulz> If you install kde via synaptic it should work right with out missing with it ?
[08:43] <joe1> 512....Ubuntu will lag a little (and XP will be.....worse than it already is)
[08:43] <Adantan_Alex> the RAM could be damaged
[08:43] <pajamian> Adantan_Alex: you have to purchase domain names from a proper domain registrar.  If you already own a domain name you can usually get subdomains of it for free, though.
[08:43] <monkeybritches> Domains need to be registered with a registrar
[08:43] <Adantan_Alex> no the live CD worked on my computer and i got 512 megabytes of RAM
[08:43] <unop__> x0x, this could help www.langfeldt.net/DNS-HOWTO/BIND-9/DNS-HOWTO.html
[08:44] <linxeh> ikm: you could try installing the xubuntu-desktop packages if you want to save a bit of ram
[08:44] <unop__> thoreauputic, he probably already is? :)
[08:44] <Adantan_Alex> ok thanks
[08:44] <x0x> tnx unop__
[08:44] <thoreauputic> unop__: that's a scary thought :)
[08:44] <ikm> linxeh: bt i like ubuntu :) i will buy more RAM
[08:44] <pajamian> ikm: then run the memtest, if it finds bad RAM you will have to replace the stick.
[08:44] <linxeh> thoreauputic: thats a rather arrogant attitude... many people, especially in small businesses, are forced into becoming sysadmins
[08:45] <linxeh> ikm: sure - but the xubuntud-desktop packages are ubuntu, its just a different window manager (XFCE4, and it looks good, albeit blue by default!)
[08:45] <Netham45> is it illegal to install a DVD decoder, such as libdvdcss onto Linux?
[08:45] <linxeh> Netham45: where do you live ?
[08:45] <Netham45> linxeh, USA
[08:45] <thoreauputic> linxeh: yes, but they don't learn by expecting to find all the answers in an IRC channel generally - and if you think I'm arrogant you must be new here :)
[08:46] <joe1> lol
[08:46] <pajamian> linxeh, ikm: installing xubuntu will help with cases where there is not a lot of ram to begin with, not where the RAM is bad.
[08:46] <linxeh> pajamian: sorry, I missed the bit with bad ram - I only just rejoined
[08:46] <pajamian> ikm: run memtest, I think you'll find it shows errors by the end of the first pass.
[08:47] <linxeh> Netham45: maybe then. you might have DMCA issues I guess. realistically, I doubt anyone is gonna care though
[08:47] <unop__> thoreauputic, that's not true .. #ubuntu has the answers for absolutely everything .. with all the gentoo and archlinux folk asking questions in here :)
[08:47] <Netham45> linxeh, well, I'd rather not put my self in potential legal issue.
[08:47] <thoreauputic> unop__: heh
[08:48] <pajamian> Netham45: if you want legal advice consult a lawyer, if you want technical advice we can tell you *how* to install libdvdcss, but not give you legal advice on it.
[08:48] <linxeh> Netham45: millions of people do it
[08:48] <Netham45> heh
[08:48] <unop__> thoreauputic, haven't you noticed, you can have a half hour troubleshooting session with someone suggesting commands and files, only to find out later they are running an entirely different distro and half the things you suggested don't work as a result.
[08:49] <linxeh> unop__: thats because linux is ubuntu!
[08:49] <linxeh> :)
[08:49] <pajamian> Netham45: that said, I have yet to hear of someone getting arrested for installing libdvdcss, especially if your only reason for doing so is to play your legally purchased DVDs.
[08:49] <thoreauputic> unop__: Oh yes. that was especially true in the warty-hoary era :)
[08:49] <Netham45> pajamian, ok.
[08:49] <thoreauputic> unop__: Nostalgia just isn't the same any more... ;p
[08:51] <unop__> thoreauputic, it continues in here from time to time .. when you do ask why they don't go to the right channels .. you get a "ohh well, they won't help me, i'm a n00b." :)
[08:51] <dibblego> !wireless
[08:51] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[08:51] <thoreauputic> unop__: ah, there's some truth in that I guess
[08:52] <thoreauputic> unop__: I used to be a #debian regular - I wasn't arrogant enough for that channel in 2002 ;)
[08:52] <unop__> thoreauputic, you saying we're easy pushovers in here eh?
[08:52] <unop__> :)
[08:52] <joe1> night all
[08:52] <thoreauputic> unop__: do you remember bob2 ?
[08:52] <unop__> ciao
[08:52] <pajamian> unop__: well, to be fair, channels for specific projects often times don't have enough active developers montioring the channel to be able to help people all the time.
[08:53] <unop__> thoreauputic, can't say i do
[08:53] <wangfg> why my suspend to disk not works?
[08:53] <thoreauputic> unop__: that guy was a hoot - really sarcastic but also really clueful. I miss him.
[08:53] <unop__> pajamian, you would think so, often enough they can't be asked to hold someone's hand through something that is already documented (in a manpage) :)
[08:53] <preston> im trying and having sucsess with the 8.04 beta 7.10 was problematic for me my question is will i have to upgrade when the final release comes out or will the beta just turn into the final thru updates
[08:54] <thoreauputic> unop__: #ubuntu has become a bit too warm ad fuzzy i think - we need an occasional sardonic comment or two
[08:54] <unop__> thoreauputic, reminds me of greycat in #bash :) he's a badboy :)
[08:54] <thoreauputic> unop__: bad and funny can be a good combination in a xhannel sometimes
[08:54] <pajamian> unop__: that's true too, though less so in my experience.  True newbies ask a lot of those same questions but usually someone will at least point them in the right direction.
[08:54] <thoreauputic> *channel
[08:55] <unop__> thoreauputic, i agree, sometimes a rude comment (for the right reason) is good motivation for the intended person :)
[08:55] <rrob> hi, do you think that is possible to install "Sun Java Communications Suite 5" on ubuntu? im googling without succes
[08:56] <pajamian> rrob: I don't know, if it's  Linux app it should be quite possible.
[08:56] <thoreauputic> unop__: These days if you make asarcastic remark you are accused of not following the Coder of Conduct - silly really
[08:56] <rrob> thoreauputic yes it is for linux, but sun prefer solaris
[08:57] <thoreauputic> rrob: wrong nick?
[08:57] <rrob> and instalation guide looks like for solaris
[08:57] <rrob> ?
[08:57] <rrob> http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-7560/gdila?a=view
[08:57] <unop__> thoreauputic, well, i suppose there's a time and place for comments like that .. for people who aren't used to that culture it can be really frustrating .. and i suppose if you want people to enjoy ubuntu, sarcasm doesn't go well with the definition of ubuntu.
[08:57] <thoreauputic> unop__: sure.
[08:58] <thoreauputic> unop__: I was making a general comment on the insistence on absolute correctness
[08:58] <preston> anyone know if i will need to reinstall the final release or will i just be able to upgrade the beta
[08:58] <rrob> preston: of ubuntu 8.04 ?
[08:58] <thoreauputic> unop__: I'm a softie, actually :)
[08:58] <preston> yes rrob
[08:58] <pajamian> rrob: if it says it's compatible with Linux then it should install fine into ubuntu.
[08:58] <rrob> preston: best way is to clear system and then install new
[08:59] <thoreauputic> unop__: but this is off-topic I suppose ;p
[08:59] <unop__> thoreauputic, lol
[08:59] <pajamian> !hardy | preston
[08:59] <ubotu> preston: Hardy Heron is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (8.04-LTS), due April 24, 2008 - For more info, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardyHeron - CONSIDER IT TO BE BETA SOFTWARE - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1, NOT #ubuntu

[09:04] <thoreauputic> pajamian: ah I see :)
[09:04] <mckulk>  i cant find supported tv cards by ubuntu. can any one give an exact link?

[09:05] <mckulk> pajamian thx.
[09:06] <Homere> what's the difference between ubuntu server and ubuntu desktop from apt's point of view ?   (install via debootstrap)
[09:06] <donkey7186> does anyone know where i can get free tags for the computer
[09:06] <rrob> Homere i use desktop edition
[09:06] <unop> borisfr,  CTRL+SHIFT+U, 5, F
[09:06] <rrob> Homere there is no desktop
[09:06] <rrob> its clean system

[09:07] <mckulk> pajamian for looking suported tv card. do i have to look in multimedia sections?
[09:07] <rrob> unop ... but i think yes .. its standart ascii code
[09:07] <unop> rrob, i dont think it works like it does on windows
[09:07] <pajamian> mckulk: I don't know, look around and see.
[09:07] <rrob> unop ... ugh .. now you know on which system im now .)
[09:08] <unop> rrob, yea, but on linux, the value is read in hexadecimal not decimal
[09:08] <rrob> unop ... dont you know how to set users in webdav?
[09:08] <unop> rrob, you on windows?

[09:09] <tarelerulz> What do you all think about Konqueror compared to  Fire fox ?
[09:09] <radragon16> Can someone help a linux noob with a java problem?
[09:09] <rrob> tarelerulz firefox rulez
[09:09] <rrob> radragon16 whic problem
[09:09] <mckulk>  i cant find supported tv cards by ubuntu. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport for looking suported tv card. do i have to look in multimedia sections?
[09:09] <rrob> tarelerulz but opera is best
[09:09] <radragon16> I have java installed yet when I i try to load an app I get "Error loading applet"
[09:10] <preston> will the beta of 8.04 turn into the final release if i continue to update the beta??
[09:10] <pajamian> mckulk: it looks to me like there are TV cards in the multimedia section.
[09:10] <unop> tarelerulz, konqueror is mostly used on KDE desktops .. and it's quite cool in the way it can also morph into a file browser .. but it's not as widely used as firefox
[09:10] <Flannel> preston: yes
[09:10] <tarelerulz> rrob, what do you like about opera over Firefox .
[09:10] <preston> thanks Flannel
[09:10] <rrob> mckulk if i can fint some howto (last time for scanner) i try google for "howto gentoo scanner / tv card"
[09:10] <DJones> !final | preston
[09:10] <ubotu> preston: If you installed a Alpha/Beta/RC version of Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy Heron) and have been keeping it up to date, then you are already running the latest version of Hardy. To make sure, type « sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade » in a console.
[09:10] <pajamian> preston: you really need to ask questions about the beta in #ubuntu+1
[09:10] <unop> tarelerulz, opera seems to work faster but it doesn't have as many available extensions as firefox.
[09:10] <rrob> tarelerulz gestures and lot of things
[09:11] <rrob> tarelerulz try it
[09:11] <preston> ah ok thanks pajamian
[09:11] <tarelerulz> For file manger / web browering it is pretty good. If could get it act bit more like firefox I would be set .
[09:11] <radragon16> *lost
[09:11] <mckulkk_>  i cant find supported tv cards by ubuntu. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport for looking suported tv card. do i have to look in multimedia sections?
[09:12] <tarelerulz> I used opera on windows and I really did not say anything that just jump out at me.  The text-to-speech part was the only really cool thing I found on it.
[09:12] <unop> radragon16, is that all of the error message you get?
[09:12] <radragon16> yes
[09:12] <radragon16> with an applet that is
[09:12] <borisfr> another question, I want to install the hardy beta, because someone tell me there is no bugs. 1) is that right ? ^^ 2) if I install hardy, when the final version will be released, will I have to reinstall hardy ? (sorry for my english)
[09:13] <unop> radragon16, i think applets need specific command line options to be launched offline .. you will probably have better luck asking the guys in #java
[09:13] <rrob> borisfr dont do it, wait for finall release
[09:13] <radragon16> This is an online applet
[09:13] <borisfr> why ?
[09:13] <Pi3cH> finall release would be on 16 days
[09:13] <MrMist> argh
[09:13] <rrob> borisfr update may be complicated
[09:13] <MrMist> When will we se default font antialiasing in emacs ?
[09:13] <borisfr> ok ... thanks
[09:13] <rrob> borisfr and some errors could happend
[09:13] <unop> borisfr, 1) wrong 2) you just update available packages
[09:14] <MrMist> Why all this hassle to get it working ?
[09:14] <MrMist> Shouldn't someone point that out for the 8.04 guys? We WANT emacs with aliasing
[09:14] <borisfr> ok
[09:14] <unop> MrMist, you can ask the guys yourself.. please go to #ubuntu+1
[09:14] <radragon16> So you guys have no clue?
[09:14] <[[thufir]]> is there some problem with installing PHP curl?
[09:15] <[[thufir]]> I get an error when installing curl:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/62487/

[09:18] <unop> [[thufir]], yes, and if you are updating via the GUI that could be the reasons apt-get fails at the CLI
[09:18] <ikm> i did but failed :) lol, seems ubuntu dont like me anymore
[09:18] <thundr2> tarelerulz: You could also try #kde.  It might be more active, but I don't know if that specifically would be off-topic.
[09:18] <unop> tarelerulz, or #kubuntu even
[09:18] <rrob> unop ... htacces/htpasswd is for apache ... im using lighttpd .( and lighttpd wiki dont talk about it
[09:19] <unop> rrob, i have no idea about lighthttpd .. maybe the webdav documentation (for lighthttpd ??) has more on users and authentication
[09:19] <[[thufir]]> unop:  I only started trying the GUI update when the curl install failed.  it's chugging away
[09:19] <unop> [[thufir]], ok, let that finish first then

[09:22] <[[thufir]]> sudo aptitude update seems to stall at 99% [Connecting to ca.archive.ubuntu.com (<IP_ADDRESS>)]    as did trying to install curl.  some sort of repository problem?  my networking would seem to be ok.
[09:22] <bazhang> openuser: you can install kde4 very easily with a single command in ubuntu
[09:23] <borisfr> frogzoo => the disk is readable and has no problem, I use it from a long time
[09:23] <Frogzoo> [[thufir]]: maybe a repos down atm - try later

[10:12] <Flannel> chlam: I'd say you'd be able to provide additional drivers at install time, but I think that was only implemented after Breezy.
