[16:32] <largehadron> where abouts are you ChrizC. i have a cd of hardy.
[16:32] <ChrizC> Chousuke; no torrent software, and as I said, can't download anything without my Windows install failing.
[16:32] <ChrizC> bazhang; already asked it a while ago.
[16:32] <ChrizC> grim76__: No ftp clients.
[16:32] <Chousuke> weird :/
[16:32] <ChrizC> largehadron; South West of UK.
[16:32] <largehadron> hmm.. i'm in Reading.
[16:32] <_Zeus_> ChrizC: if you use torrents, you can recover the torrent where you left off
[16:32] <ChrizC> bit too far
[16:33] <largehadron> you tried downloading azureus.  graphical torrent client.
[16:33] <_Zeus_> a crash doesn't matter
[16:33] <grim76__> ChrizC: you have a commandline ftp client that is built into windows.
[16:33] <ChrizC> _Zeus_, can't you read? I've got no torrent software!
[16:33] <_Zeus_> ChrizC: then get some!
[16:33] <Chousuke> sounds like he can't download *anything* :/
[16:33] <_Zeus_> !vuze
[16:33] <Pici> !ot
[16:33] <ChrizC> IT WON'T ALLOW ME!
[16:33] <ChrizC> ¬¬
[16:33] <Jack_Sparrow> ChrizC Please tone down the attitude
[16:33] <Chousuke> which would indeed be a problem
[16:33] <_Zeus_> !azureus
[16:33] <_Zeus_> ChrizC: if you can't download anything, then we can't really help you here.
[16:33] <Jack_Sparrow> !minimal > ChrizC
[16:33] <_Zeus_> find someone who can
[16:33] <Pici> ChrizC: If you have a Windows problem, please join ##windows, we cannot helpyou with that, sorry.
[16:34] <bazhang> the minimal is only 9mb.
[16:34] <Chousuke> that doesn't make any sense though; how the hell can you not download anything
[16:34] <Chousuke> windows can't be *that* broken
[16:34] <ChrizC> Pici; THIS ISN'T ABOUT MY WINDOWS.
[16:34] <ChrizC> ¬¬
[16:34] <Chousuke> seeing as you can IRC just fine.
[16:34] <_Zeus_> (11:32:15 AM) ChrizC: Chousuke; no torrent software, and as I said, can't download anything without my Windows install failing.
[16:34] <_Zeus_> obviously, it is about windows
[16:34] <warnet> pici : thanks alot pici
[16:34] <Pici> ChrizC: Lets start over, Whats the problem you are having?
[16:34] <cads> is there a way to optimize my system so that the file explorer loads faster and is more snappy (an so that in general things are more responsive)?
[16:34] <arvind_khadri> ChrizC, use the minimal install
[16:34] <Pici> warnet: did that fix the issue?
[16:35] <Chousuke> cads: buy more RAM
[16:35] <ChrizC> my problem is, the CD sent to me by Ubuntu is failed
[16:35] <Jack_Sparrow> cads add ram, how much are you running
[16:35] <warnet> pici : i'll try it when going home
[16:35] <ChrizC> and I need it installed asap
[16:35] <cads> 512
[16:35] <IMaverick> is it possible to create 2-3 different sites like x.com, y.com in my laptop ... i wnna do it just to learn php.. what should i do... i already install apache
[16:35] <cads> yeah, i suppose that really isn't enough
[16:35] <_Zeus_> ChrizC: so why can't you download a small file?
[16:35] <jepp> does anyone know how to change language package of abiword?
[16:35] <Chousuke> IMaverick: you don't need a domain to run a website locally
[16:35] <ChrizC> _Zeus_, is that small file an iso?
[16:35] <arvind_khadri> cads, its enough...just check how much swap you have
[16:36] <Jack_Sparrow> ChrizC yes
[16:36] <ChrizC> then I can't burn it propely
[16:36] <Pici> ChrizC: The smallest install iso is 8 mb.
[16:36] <ChrizC> properly*
[16:36] <Chousuke> IMaverick: just install apache, php and connect to http://localhost/whatever.php
[16:36] <warnet> pici : now, i'll collect alot information about this problem
[16:36] <ChrizC> we're going around in circles here, honestly.
[16:36] <_Zeus_> ChrizC: you know what, we really can't do anything for you here
[16:36] <maszlo> any one here have ubuntu on one of the mini dells they released, eeepc or anything like that.. debating on a sub-notebook or a nice N series nokia
[16:36] <arvind_khadri> !minimal | ChrizC
[16:36] <IMaverick> chouske,  want ot create it... how could i do it
[16:36] <_Zeus_> i understand you got a bad cd, but we can't fix that
[16:36] <Jack_Sparrow> ChrizC then we cnat help you..  Fix your hardware, or fix windows or find a friend and dl it ..
[16:36] <Chousuke> IMaverick: you'll have to read some manuals to set it up correctly, but you'll have to find out how, yourself.
[16:36] <ChrizC> arvind_khadri: READ. READDD MYYYY LINESSS.  You need to make a cd image, not just put it on the cd.
[16:40] <_Zeus_> shingouz: are you on a live cd?
[16:40] <grim76__> Probably what is happening is the .iso file is burned to the disk vs. the actual image.
[16:40] <shingouz> _Zeus_: nope, this is a hd install
[16:40] <_Zeus_> bastii don't think you can extract the iso like that
[16:40] <sleepy> Can someone help me get the audio to work when I play MKV files? I am new to Ubuntu, so I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
[16:40] <Pici> jepp: sudo apt-get install packagename
[16:40] <_Zeus_> grim76__: agreed
[16:40] <warnet> ok
[16:40] <jepp> Pici, I want the spelling checker to check in another language. so i downloaded a package from here http://www.abisource.com/download/abispell.phtml
[16:40] <bazhang> sleepy, using vlc?
[16:40] <ChrizC> what a surprise, no LUG's near here.
[16:40] <_Zeus_> ChrizC: if you download the iso, you could try burning it from the broken live cd
[16:40] <warnet> pici : thanks alot pici
[16:41] <mftom> i removed Quiet and Splash and now this is what happens when i try to shutdown: "halt: unable to iterate IDE devices: no such file or directory"
[16:41] <ChrizC> _Zeus_; the burning problem isn't with Windows. It's with the actual drive.
[16:41] <mftom> and its stuck, it wont shut down, anyone know why?
[16:41] <jepp> Pici, but i don't know what to do with this packages
[16:41] <sleepy>  bazhang> No, I'm using Mplayer
[16:41] <_Zeus_> ChrizC: i don't think you're right
[16:41] <ChrizC> _Zeus_ how so
[16:41] <Chousuke> ChrizC: and there's no way for you to do an USB install? :/
[16:41] <bazhang> sleepy, vlc works great with those
[16:42] <ChrizC> Chousuke I have an mp3 player,
[16:42] <maszlo> mftom:  you removed that from your /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[16:42] <sleepy> Ok, Well I'll try, give me one sec to install
[16:42] <cads> arvind_khadri: my swap partition is listed in fstab? how do I check it's size? what's a good size?
[16:42] <Chousuke> sleepy: you may need to install the w32codecs package
[16:42] <_Zeus_> cads: type free in a termina;
[16:42] <_Zeus_> how much ram do you have?
[16:42] <Pici> jepp: For what language?
[16:42] <sleepy> How do I do that?
[16:42] <LinuxGhost> Help, Does someone know how to repair boot hanging?
[16:42] <arvind_khadri> cads, double the size of the ram
[16:42] <jepp> Pici, german
[16:42] <LinuxGhost> Help, Does someone know how to repair boot hanging?
[16:42] <Chousuke> ChrizC: hm, it might work, if you can somehow get ubuntu on it
[16:42] <bazhang> sudo apt-get install vlc sleepy
[16:42] <Chousuke> ChrizC: and then boot from it
[16:42] <sleepy> No, I mean the win32codecs
[16:43] <ChrizC> Chousuke; how? It's 1gb (but I suppose the iso is small)
[16:43] <_Zeus_> arvind_khadri: bad advice
[16:43] <shingouz> _Zeus_: mount also seems to give strange results, /sys /proc /var/run /var/lock /dev /dev/shm /dev/pts and /sys/kernel/security on it. personally i generate a big question mark. how the hell does this thing actually mount stuff?
[16:43] <bazhang> go to www.medibuntu.org and get the package sleepy
[16:43] <tj1515> how can i get a ntfs drive to be mounted at start up right now i have to click on it to mount
[16:43] <mftom> maszlo: yes i was told i can do that instead of removin it from livecd
[16:43] <Chousuke> ChrizC: I'm not sure how to do an USB install, but I know it's possible... now If I just could remember the factoid
[16:43] <ChrizC> also, Chousuke, my USB devices don't get turned on until windows bootup.
[16:43] <bazhang> !usb
[16:43] <_Zeus_> shingouz: can you pastebin /etc/fsatb?
[16:43] <arvind_khadri> _Zeus_, depends upon the ram size i know but its safe to use it...
[16:43] <_Zeus_> ChrizC: of course they don't
[16:44] <Chousuke> ChrizC: then you probably need to tweak some bios setting to make it boot from USB
[16:44] <erUSUL> arvind_khadri: imho that was a good rule when people had 16-512 MB of ram today with ranges on the 1GB-4GB is too much. equal to ram just in case they want to hibernate is more than enough
[16:44] <_Zeus_> arvind_khadri: exactly.  For ex, if you have 2gb ram, a 2gb swap is plenty
[16:44] <Chousuke> ChrizC: most modern (and not so modern) computers can boot from USB
[16:44] <_Zeus_> if you have 512mb, then you would want double
[16:44] <sleepy> How do I install the win32codecs?
[16:44] <ChrizC> Mine's about 8 years old.
[16:44] <ChrizC> It was meant for ME x.x
[16:44] <cads> I almost wish the system was more swappy: I only have 19 megabytes of main mem free yet a gig of swap is free - y swap is roughly 3 times y memory
[16:44] <sleepy> VLC player plays the MKV, but no audio
[16:44] <bazhang> sleepy, the instructions are on the page
[16:44] <maszlo> mftom: not really sure how that would help other than if your boot if goofed up.. that just removes the ubuntu logo and displays all the output of boot
[16:44] <arvind_khadri> erUSUL, _Zeus_  roger that sir :)
[16:44] <sleepy> What page?
[16:44] <maszlo> mftom: its just sitting there now?
[16:45] <Chousuke> cads: *no* you don't
[16:45] <sleepy> I missed your post
[16:45] <_Zeus_> cads: why would it use swap if it has 19mb ram free?
[16:45] <mftom> yeah lol
[16:45] <Pici> a   jepp: I think there is a package in the repositories you can use, try State: not a real package
[16:45] <bazhang> www.medibuntu.org sleepy
[16:45] <warnet> pici : see u later
[16:45] <Chousuke> cads: swap is *slow*, RAM is fast
[16:45] <shingouz> _Zeus_: the box is not currently on the network but even fstab looks strange, it does not have entries for / anywhere. or anything else for that matter except the cdrom and floppy. root and home are mounted in anycase because i can get on the filesystems
[16:45] <Pici> jepp: Er sorry. sudo apt-get install aspell-de
[16:45] <Chousuke> cads: the OS will avoid using swap at all costs.
[16:45] <Chousuke> cads: because it's horribly slow
[16:45] <corq-ubu> I have weird "hanging" behavior in Hardy when I have audio input through the line-in jack; it resolves promptly when I unplug the line-in, but I don't see any errors in dmesg - where else might I look? PulseAudio is otherwise well-behaving. I need to record from this jack. Ideas?
[16:45] <mftom> yeah a friend of mine said the same thing on how that wouldnt help anything unless my computer froze on bootup but jack sparrow seems to think that would have helped so i tried it out.
[16:45] <arvind_khadri> cads, swap is used when all of the main mem is used up
[16:45] <_Zeus_> shingouz: and the system runs fine?
[16:45] <warnet> pici : nice to meet you
[16:45] <shingouz> _Zeus_: yup
[16:45] <_Zeus_> shingouz: do you have a /etc/fstab~ file?
[16:45] <jepp> Pici, this isn't a package which is used by abIspell i think
[16:45] <shingouz> _Zeus_: yes i do
[16:46] <shingouz> wait
[16:46] <shingouz> sec
[16:46] <_Zeus_> shingouz: take a look at that file
[16:46] <cads> I feel like the main mem is being used to store unimportant pages, and it bottlenecks when critical things are trying to run
[16:46] <shingouz> _Zeus_: nope, only /etc/fstab
[16:46] <_Zeus_> shingouz: crap
[16:46] <Chousuke> cads: that's not true
[16:46] <_Zeus_> anyone know how to force recreation of fstab?
[16:46] <Chousuke> cads: as long as swap is not in use, you're good.
[16:47] <Pici> jepp: The package dependencies of abiword would leave me to believe that it is
[16:47] <Chousuke> cads: if it starts swapping, *then* you can worry about having unneeded things in RAM
[16:47] <maszlo> mftom: you happen to make a backup that before hand?  it is probably a syntax error.. space or typo or something... that should not keep it from booting.. tahts how all my installs boot
[16:47] <shingouz> _Zeus_: i *do* have /etc/fstab but not /etc/fstab~
[16:47] <erUSUL> cads: not true. memory used for disk caching is directly reclimable by the system...
[16:47] <erUSUL> !ram > cads
[16:47] <_Zeus_> !fstab
[16:47] <jepp> pici, ok i try
[16:47] <mftom> im just gonna uncomment off the original stuff that was there and put it back to normal
[16:47] <_Zeus_> how can shingouz force auto recreation of fstab??
[16:47] <_Zeus_> shingouz: can you check out /etc/mtab?
[16:48] <cads> i'll check out the guides
[16:48] <Chousuke> cads: to make it short: Linux knows better than you how to use swap and RAM. :)
[16:48] <shingouz> _Zeus_: sec
[16:48] <jepp> Pici, doesn't work
[16:48] <jfincher> so I've got my samsung blackjack II connected via USB to my Hardy desktop, and it shows up in lsusb, but I don't have a /dev/ttyACM0 that I can use as a USB modem -- anyone know what's gone wrong?
[16:48] <legend2440> shingouz: in order to see the  fstab~ file you have to hit  ctrl+h to un hide it
[16:48] <uzivatel> zdar
[16:48] <shingouz> _Zeus_: the same systems are mentioned in mtab as i have listed before
[16:48] <_Zeus_> shingouz: i assume you are working in a terminal
[16:48] <cads> Chousuke: there are alternate swapping methods as well
[16:48] <uzivatel> jj
[16:48] <uzivatel> njp
[16:48] <uzivatel> hello
[16:48] <bazhang> !cz
[16:49] <_Zeus_> how in the world did you know that?
[16:49] <LinuxGhost> Help, Does someone know how to repair boot hanging?
[16:49] <bazhang> his .cz join
[16:49] <_Zeus_> !ask
[16:49] <erUSUL> legend2440: *~ are not hidden they are files created by some text editors as backups. but not all editors create them
[16:49] <shingouz> _Zeus_: you assume correctly. legend2440 ls -a /etc/fstab* only gives me fstab
[16:49] <Pici> jepp: Sorry, ask again in here then. I thought that would fix it.
[16:49] <_Zeus_> shingouz: thanks.  also thanks legend2440 for being through
[16:49] <_Zeus_> Pici: do you know how to recreate fstab?
[16:50] <jepp> does anyone know how to change language package of abiwords dictionary?
[16:50] <shingouz> _Zeus_: my personal favorite for fstab recreation is vi ;)
[16:50] <sixhat> cads: You can try to increase the swappiness: echo 100 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness
[16:50] <_Zeus_> shingouz: i see...
[16:50] <sleepy> The medibuntu install instructions failed with " Failed to fetch " on all of the files

[16:50] <_Zeus_> !ask | LinuxGhost
[16:50] <_Zeus_> Jack_Sparrow: umm...
[16:51] <bazhang> sleepy, you dont need the repos for that
[16:51] <erUSUL> LinuxGhost: you will have to be more specific and informative if you want help
[16:51] <_Zeus_> shingouz: i don't understand why your system works
[16:51] <bazhang> sleepy, only the one package

[16:51] <ratnakar> hi folks
[16:51] <_Zeus_> shingouz: i guess you could try your hand at doing it yourself, but i don't get how / can be unmounted
[16:51] <_Zeus_> !hi
[16:51] <shingouz> hehe.. this is insane. mount tells me the dirve is not mounted but thunar can see it nicely. i can also work on the apparently *un*mounted filesystem from a terminal without any problems
[16:51] <Jack_Sparrow> _Zeus_ It would still need some work, but it would give you a basic starting point
[16:51] <tzolkin> Someone Help me, I mount my ntfs disk in XUbuntu, but I can't write it. How can I fix it??
[16:51] <shingouz> _Zeus_: ditto :D
[16:52] <ratnakar> how do i change a password for vsftp virtual user?
[16:52] <_Zeus_> shingouz: i assume you have rebooted?
[16:52] <sleepy> Oh I see, ok I'm downloading the .dep file for the win32codecs, I'll install in one second when it's done
[16:52] <shingouz> _Zeus_: a few times, this is not a new install
[16:52] <legend2440> erUSUL: thats strange. i can only see the fstab~ file in my /etc  if i select  view >show hidden files
[16:52] <_Zeus_> tzolkin: use the driver ntfs-3g?
[16:53] <ratnakar> hi linuxghost
[16:53] <erUSUL> legend2440: maybe nautilus has a different menaing for hidden file as a shell user my definitio is tradicional unix e.g files that begin with a dot
[16:53] <erUSUL> legend2440: XD
[16:53] <sleepy> After install, do I need a reboot?
[16:53] <Nece228> why fglrx is slower than radeon in compiz?
[16:53] <ratnakar> can u please tell how do i change password for my vsftp virtual user?

[16:55] <lubyou> if I remove network-manager, will i lose the internet access? i have a box where ubuntu desktop is installed, but since that box is running headless, i want to remove x11 and the depending packages
[16:55] <_Zeus_> lubyou: i don't think you'll lose internet, no
[16:55] <erUSUL> lubyou: you will have to configure network via /etc/network/interfaces
[16:55] <sleepy> Do I need to reboot the machine after installing the win32codecs to get them to work? Because after running the install I still don't get audio
[16:56] <_Zeus_> sleepy: i doubt it
[16:56] <sleepy> Then what else can I try to get MKV audio to work, it's the only kind of file I'm having trouble with
[16:56] <shingouz> sleepy: do you get the audio anywhere on the system right now?
[16:56] <cads> is there a tool like for firefox which can analyze exactly what the heck it's doing with 24% of my memory? firetop, perhaps :D
[16:56] <sleepy> Yes, everywhere else
[16:57] <nnull> what do i need to play youtube etc in firefox pls?
[16:57] <_Zeus_> !flash | nnull
[16:57] <lubyou> erUSUL http://dpaste.com/79764/. thats my network/interfaces. The box is currently connected over ppp0. Does that config seem ok to you?
[16:57] <shingouz> sleepy: i would check the settings on the application you have problems with first, maybe it is trying to shoot the sound off to oss when you are running alsa or vice versa
[16:58] <sleepy> I'm running Alsa, and I've tried setting it to Alsa as it was initially set on "default"
[16:58] <nnull> what do you guys use for flash in firefox? only reason i ask is i remember last time, i tried 3-6 different flash packages and only 1 worked..
[16:58] <erUSUL> lubyou: yep seems ok. althought never used interfaces with ppp connections...
[16:58] <erUSUL> nnull: flashplugin-nonfree
[16:58] <_Zeus_> nnull: i use flashplugin-nonfree
[16:58] <lubyou> mkay, better double check that :)
[16:58] <nnull> ahh k
[16:58] <_Zeus_> erUSUL: dang you
[16:58] <Jack_Sparrow> sleepy Have you tried playing with Totem?
[16:58] <LinuxGhost> After ive installed ubuntu studio  on my pc and restarted it, it hanged/froze too long and needed to reboot many times.Now when i boot my PC usually it hangs, ive tried to repair it clicking "ESC" key at booting start as Root and Generic Recovery even though unsuccessfully:-(
[16:58] <nnull> non-free sounds like it costs u somehow lol
[16:58] <meuserj> Ok... I'm trying to create a pbuilder environment, but I have a bit of an unreliable internet connection... unfortunately, when the creation process fails to download a file, it deletes everything it has downloaded so far and I have to start again from the beginning.  Unless I'm missing something, I can't find a way to turn that "feature" off.  I'm starting my third attempt....
[16:59] <shingouz> sleepy: and that application you are having problems with does not have the sound muted?
[16:59] <sleepy> Not muted, and don't know about Totem
[16:59] <erUSUL> _Zeus_: ;P
[16:59] <shingouz> sleepy: hammer? :p
[16:59] <_Zeus_> meuserj: yeah, i don't think that's a feature, i think it's sort of a neseccity
[16:59] <_Zeus_> you could use a torrent
[16:59] <Jack_Sparrow> sleepy Here is where I found the reference http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=748992

[17:00] <Jack_Sparrow> sleepy sudo apt-get install totem
[17:00] <sleepy> ok one sec for me to do that

[17:01] <_Zeus_> LinuxGhost: can you use a live cd to back up your files?
[17:01] <sleepy> By the way, the link you gave me doesn't seem to work for me
[17:01] <Jack_Sparrow> sleepy No idea, maybe try and play your files
[17:01] <sleepy> Still no audio v.v
[17:02] <Jack_Sparrow> _Zeus_ See if that link works for you that I gave sleepy
[17:02] <shingouz> *buntu is ... well.. interesting. well working familiar things are a lot different and just to get to the features takes some reading. like the missing inittab and now fstab and mtab
[17:02] <sleepy> Oh shoot I got it
[17:02] <_Zeus_> Jack_Sparrow: works fine
[17:02] <shingouz> sleepy: what was it?

[17:07] <nnull> !ubuntustudio
[17:07] <trigpin> need help can't connect t wpa

[17:08] <SliMM> Hello.
[17:08] <SliMM> How can I solve the problem with obex?
[17:09] <SliMM> „Operation not supported by backend“
[17:09] <LinuxGhost> _zeus_: live cd of ubuntu studio?
[17:10] <_Zeus_> LinuxGhost: ANY LIVE CD
[17:10] <CheeseTrap> Hello all  :)
[17:10] <LinuxGhost> _zeus_:plz, explain me
[17:11] <nnull> what do you guys use for bittorrent client?.. ive looked at KTorrent and Tranmission, they seem like very very basic programs... anyr reason i cant run asuruas* ?
[17:11] <CheeseTrap> Is there a nerd in the house?  I'm having issues trying to manually set alternate DNS servers for my new Ubuntu install, but every time I reconnect the settings are being overridden by my provider
[17:11] <_Zeus_> LinuxGhost: use either an ubuntu live cd, or a kubuntu live cd, or an xubuntu live cd, or any other distro's live cd
[17:11] <xomp> anyway to have gnome auto arrange icons on the desktop? looks a bit unprofessional with icons scattered here and there lol
[17:12] <CheeseTrap> I have triwed even chmodding /etc/resolv.conf to r/r/r/r but it still manages to edit the file  :P
[17:12] <LinuxGhost> _zeus_: is that to reinstall all the systm?
[17:12] <_Zeus_> LinuxGhost: yes
[17:12] <wes> Hey, I'm new to Ubuntu and, probably unsurprisingly, wireless isn't working. Would anyone care to help?
[17:12] <legend2440> xomp: right click desktop choose clean up by name
[17:13] <CheeseTrap> Hi wes, I'm new myself but what kind of wireless is it?  A device that works on the mobile network, or a wireless router?
[17:13] <xomp> thanks legend2440 but is there a way to have it do this each time something is added/removed from the desktop?
[17:13] <cyban> Not sure why I get this all the time in Terminal (sudo: unable to resolve host cyban-laptop) ?
[17:13] <shingouz> CheeseTrap: either make the file immutable or do a nice small script that copies your preferred DNS settings every time your network gets its dhcp ack
[17:14] <klikklak> Hi, has anyone built gamefu 0.2 beta?  I get the following error: http://pastebin.com/d3bf1fcb
[17:14] <kaffeefilter> cyban: maybe you should include your hostname in your /etc/hosts?
[17:14] <klikklak> something about fpic, should I add something in the makefile?
[17:14] <wes> CheeseTrap: I have a wireless enabled laptop attempting to connect to a wireless router
[17:14] <legend2440> xomp: if there is i don't know it
[17:14] <xomp> legend2440, hmm ok thanks. Would you know how I would go about adding my home directory and "Computer" directory as shortcuts to my desktop in Gnome? :)
[17:15] <CheeseTrap> Thanks for the answer shingouz, what is the best way to make the file permanent?  I thought "sudo chmod 0444 /etc/resolv.conf" would have done that
[17:15] <wes> I'm hardwired in to it now, running ubuntu and I have vista (boo) also bootable
[17:16] <legend2440> xomp: in terminal type   gconf-editor  browse to   /apps/nautilus/desktop/volumes_visible
[17:16] <hmmmmm> guys, i want to run something before I even login as a user, how do I start a service that way?
[17:16] <shingouz> CheeseTrap: make it immutable but be aware that sometimes you do not get a working connection if the dhcp client cannot modify the resolv.conf
[17:16] <IdentifyTarget> Hey all! how do I find out what version of ubuntu I'm using?
[17:16] <cyban> kaffeefilter, ah forgot that got removed - its <IP_ADDRESS> right?
[17:16] <_Zeus_> IdentifyTarget: lsb_release -rd
[17:17] <arvind_khadri> IdentifyTarget,  lsb_release -a
[17:17] <CheeseTrap> Shingouz, what do you mean by immutable?  Isn't chmod 0444 completely read-only?
[17:17] <hbalanzar> Hi everyone, has anybody had problems with vertical lines on LCD after, persistant after reboot on POST. After installing UBUNTU 8.04?? (intel 915 Chipset)
[17:17] <IdentifyTarget> 8.04.1
[17:17] <IdentifyTarget> latest?
[17:17] <arvind_khadri> IdentifyTarget, ya
[17:17] <shingouz> CheeseTrap: nope. there are extended attributes on ext3. man attrib
[17:17] <kaffeefilter> cyban: yeah, <IP_ADDRESS> and ::1
[17:18] <IdentifyTarget> cool, one more question. I have WINE installed, how do I update it?
[17:18] <anothernewb> no hylafax users i take it
[17:18] <xomp> thanks legend2440 lol, would be much simpler for Gnome to make it an obvious option, especially for those coming from Windows to Linux.
[17:18] <CheeseTrap> thanks again Shing
[17:18] <jfm001old> anybody using realplayer 11
[17:18] <arvind_khadri> IdentifyTarget, it would get update when you run dist-upgrade if there is a new version in the repo
[17:18] <IdentifyTarget> what the hell, #WINE is invite only.... :\
[17:18] <CheeseTrap> Xomp, you can also just drag and drop  :)
[17:19] <arvind_khadri> IdentifyTarget, their support channel is #winehq
[17:19] <CheeseTrap> Xomp>>  or right click and make link then drag that
[17:19] <IdentifyTarget> ty
[17:19] <arvind_khadri> IdentifyTarget, welcome :)
[17:19] <xomp> CheeseTrap, drag and drop doesn't work to place the Computer and Home icons to the desktop, I've tried from damn near every possible location that Computer & Home show up lol
[17:20] <hmmmmm> guys, i want to run something before I even login as a user, how do I start a service that way?
[17:20] <mizipzor> is there anything on the livecd that lets my resize existing partitions?
[17:20] <CheeseTrap> xomp> okay sorry, I just tried with a regular folder  ;)
[17:20] <xomp> mizipzor, gparted
[17:20] <emilien_> have weird wpa problem
[17:21] <mizipzor> xomp: thanks
[17:21] <Guma_> I am trying to install 8.04 on my new system with two HD RAID 0 (Stripe) and installer sees them as two seperate SCSI4 and 5 hard drives. Any one can help. In Bios it is setup as striped.
[17:21] <IdentifyTarget> hey can ubuntu natively mount isos?
[17:21] <shingouz> hmmmmm: put it in your .bashrc ?
[17:21] <xomp> CheeseTrap, yeah, some things you can drag from the menu list to your desktop, but Home & such just simply open if you try and drag them lol. So backwards feeling from an old Windows user standpoint.
[17:22] <xomp> IdentifyTarget, sudo mount -o loop /path/to/iso/yourfile.iso /home/username/a_folder_of_your_choice
[17:22] <jamil123456789> I have geany on ubuntu and windows. Geany runs fine ubunu but on windows when I compile the java code a console appears for a second and I dont see compilation errors in geany
[17:22] <IdentifyTarget> sweet
[17:22] <emilien_> I can connect to wpa router, and ping google
[17:22] <emilien_> but i have no internet
[17:23] <xomp> IdentifyTarget, I made an "ISO" folder in my /home directory, it's easier to remember when you're mounting :) You'll notice an CD icon on your desktop too that you can open.
[17:23] <Osse> Is there a quick way to make 2 files into one (just containing text) and sorting the lines? =)
[17:23] <IdentifyTarget> cool.
[17:23] <CheeseTrap> shingouz, attrib --h and man attrib tell me i haven't got that, and sudo apt-get install attrib says it's not available...  if you meant another use of chmod, the word 'immutable' doesn't appear anywhere in the chmod manpage according to the search tool for string 'immu' - any suggestions?
[17:23] <cyban> kaffeefilter, thanks, does it have default as <IP_ADDRESS>/ip4-allhosts or needs to be <IP_ADDRESS>/system-name
[17:23] <jamil123456789> any help ?
[17:23] <emilien_> anyone help me with my wpa problem
[17:24] <_Zeus_> jamil123456789: what is geany?
[17:24] <IdentifyTarget> one more question. Am I doing something wrong, trying to connect  to SMB share? Places -> Connect to Server -> Windows Share -> share name -> connect...Instantly pops up "Can't display location, no application is registered to handle this"
[17:24] <xomp> jamil123456789, try asking in #windows
[17:24] <shingouz> CheeseTrap: sec, let me check
[17:24] <jamil123456789> geany is light weight IDE
[17:24] <_Zeus_> IDE?
[17:24] <hmmmmm> emilien_: just a suggestion, but if you put everything into one single post, I am sure you might make it easier for someone else to assist you
[17:24] <imura> hello
[17:24] <jamil123456789> Integrated development Environment
[17:24] <phoenixz> Quick verification.. a RAID5 3 disk setup, basically will have me loose 30% of the total capacity, right? thats to say, 3x300GB RAID5 would give me a 600GB device, no?
[17:24] <_Zeus_> !hi
[17:25] <xomp> _Zeus_, an IDE similar to Eclipse and such :)
[17:25] <cyban> phoenixz, -1 drive yes
[17:25] <emilien_> ok, i can connect to my wpa router i can ping google but when i open firefox or opera no internet
[17:25] <CheeseTrap> Osse:  maybe some use of cp --link?    type cp --help into a terminal window for details
[17:25] <shingouz> CheeseTrap: apt-get install attr
[17:26] <CheeseTrap> Osse>  that might be for making shortcuts not linking two files together though, i'm only new myself  :)
[17:26] <phoenixz> cyban: thanks!
[17:26] <Osse> CheeseTrap - cp is copy.
[17:26] <Dustan> what is it called when I want to use the terminal to manipulate the text in a file?
[17:27] <xomp> Dustan, sed ?
[17:27] <jim_p> nano textfile
[17:27] <^Devious^> hi
[17:27] <CheeseTrap> Osse>  yes but on windoze copy source1+source2 dest = concatenate multiple files  :P
[17:27] <shingouz> Osse: cat file1 >> file2 adds file1 after file2
[17:27] <cyban> Dustan, nano/vi/sed/pick a text editor
[17:27] <xomp> gksudo gedit /path/file.txt?
[17:27] <CheeseTrap> so I was trying to see if cp had such an option
[17:27] <xomp> take a pick lol
[17:27] <IdentifyTarget> Is this normal for SMB shares in ubuntu "Can't display location, no application is registered to handle this"
[17:27] <Dustan> I want to remove X characters from the end of each line
[17:27] <Pers3UX> Hi, when i enter 'sudo somecommand' in terminal it says: sudo: unable to resolve host ENIAC (eniac is my systems name)
[17:27] <^Devious^> whats the current topic? And hello ubuntu world :)
[17:27] <Osse> shingouz - Yeah, I just found that out =) But sorting? cat | sort maybe?
[17:27] <shingouz> Pers3UX: add eniac to your /etc/hosts
[17:27] <^Devious^> I get that error "unable to resolve"
[17:28] <^Devious^> sometimes
[17:28] <cyban> Pers3UX, add <IP_ADDRESS>/computername to hosts in Network
[17:28] <^Devious^> its usually after a sudo apt-get install
[17:28] <shingouz> Osse: sed might help. depends on what you mean by "sorting"
[17:28] <cyban> and <IP_ADDRESS>/computername
[17:28] <Pers3UX> Shingouz, ok thx
[17:28] <^Devious^> but I've noticed its a warranted issue - when installing other programs, or not cleaning up after sudo install
[17:28] <^Devious^> I could be wrong?
[17:28] <^Devious^> Im only new to the CLI
[17:28] <emilien_> need help with wpa runnign ubuntu hardy can't connect to wpa
[17:28] <Osse> shingouz - Thanks anyways, found out . cat file1 >> file2 && cat file2 | sort > filesort.txt
[17:29] <legend2440> !hostname | ^Devious^
[17:29] <cyban> emilien_, does the network adapter see the wireless network?
[17:29] <^Devious^> Doesnt Knetwork manager allow it?
[17:29] <emilien_> cyban, yes
[17:30] <IdentifyTarget> ubuntu uses gnome right?
[17:30] <^Devious^> ubuntu is gnome
[17:30] <IdentifyTarget> k
[17:30] <^Devious^> kubuntu is kde
[17:30] <domanti> Hey, is there someone that can help me get my wireless card working. I'm a total noobcake, and can't seem to get it going. Its a BCM4306. I've tried nsdwrapper (sp?), but its a no go.
[17:30] <cyban> emilien_, try deleting any manual config you set up from the nm-applet (System tray) and from Network in Sys/Admin/Network
[17:30] <hmmmmm> guys, i want to run something before I even login as a user, how do I start a service that way?
[17:30] <^Devious^> you can have gnome on Kubuntu by doing sudo aptget ubuntu-desktop - and vice versa for ubuntu
[17:31] <Rolaulten> Good morning. It would seem that gnome lost my theme was set up...I booted up my computer, got an error saying one of the Damon's that gnome was looking for could not be found...and now my theme is back to the default settings
[17:31] <shingouz> hmmmmm: right after boot you mean before any user logs on? check out upstart
[17:31] <^Devious^> I find Gnome better on my older machines - for my faster ones - KDE is better.....thats just my preference
[17:31] <cyban> hmmmmm, system/preference/session
[17:32] <IdentifyTarget> where do I config ubuntu auto login?
[17:32] <IMaverick> how could i creat multiple domain name locally ...

[17:33] <cyban> emilien_, left click the Network icon in the system tray, does it show the network?
[17:33] <IMaverick> to test different sites created in php locally
[17:33] <hmmmmm> erUSUL: so adding it in system/preference/session, isnt going to do it ?
[17:33] <mizipzor> if i started gparted with "sudo gparted", what is the reasons all buttons are disabled? resize and such
[17:33] <emilien_> cyban, yes
[17:33] <quaal> how do i make nautilus windows not pop up all over the place whenever i plug in my usb hub and it automounts all the usb drives

[17:35] <scampbell> Does anyone know how to get rsyslog to output rfc 3339 format under hardy?
[17:35] <emilien_> cyban, no im on my laptop
[17:36] <luigi> !it
[17:36] <hmmmmm> erUSUL: so adding the /etc/init.d/service start in /etc/rc.local, should start the 'service', without user interaction (aka: logging in) ?
[17:36] <cyban> emilien_, ah ok, create a new wireless network using the one in the system tray, then right click and edit wireless
[17:36] <Vladimir[LV]> Hello! I have some trouble with loading, please help me! (I have RAID-1) ;/ : mount: mounting /dev/md0 on /root failed device or resource busy

[17:37] <mizipzor> in gparteds "show features", nothing except read is green for ntfs, what additional software do i need to install?
[17:37] <unop> hmmmmm, what does your script do exactly?
[17:37] <^Devious^> im back
[17:37] <erUSUL> hmmmmm: no if you have a /etc/init.d/service script just use "sudo update-rc.d service defaults" to add it to boot sequence
[17:37] <sca> hey guys... anyone know how i can configure the audio jacks of my sound card?
[17:37] <cyban> nnull, any Linux distro should be fine if you dont install a bunch of junk on it
[17:37] <^Devious^> on a p3 600?
[17:37] <^Devious^> Im sitting on a p3 933 right now
[17:37] <H0T_R0D> i want to install the latest pidgin, when i do ./configure its aking me for GTK+ 2.0 development headers, can i get them from the universe ubuntu?
[17:37] <^Devious^> started off with 64mb ram now I have 320
[17:37] <cyban> Vladimir[LV], Fake Raid?
[17:38] <nnull> ^Devious^ƺ wow, what OS you running mate? ubuntu?
[17:38] <Vladimir[LV]> cyban: software raid-1 mirroring
[17:38] <^Devious^> Puppy 4.0 was quite good with 64mb ram only and worked with wireless much better than DSL 2.4 for me
[17:38] <shingouz> ^Devious^: p2-300 so do not complain :)
[17:38] <unop> H0T_R0D, run this.  sudo apt-get build-dep pidgin
[17:38] <gpled> is there a way to align open windows on your desktop, automatically?
[17:38] <nnull> cyban, my testing with LiveCD's on the machine didnt go to well.. im hoping this is for the fact the machine has very low RAM...
[17:38] <cyban> Vladimir[LV], is there a fakeraid controller? if so make sure its disabled or it will mess up the softraid
[17:38] <^Devious^> Yes now I am running KUBUNTU - I also installed gnome (Sudo apt-get install ubuntu-deskop)
[17:38] <unop> H0T_R0D, and you probably want to make a debian package out of your source - for easy uninstallation later
[17:39] <^Devious^> and lots of other goodies from reps
[17:39] <cyban> nnull, probably just create a larger swap file
[17:39] <gpled> think they call it window tilling
[17:39] <^Devious^> nnull - give puppy a go...im not saying its the be all and end all
[17:39] <nnull> ^Devious^ƺ what X does puppy have mate?
[17:39] <^Devious^> I had to go through about 8 distros to get my dell machine working from the start

[17:40] <H0T_R0D> how do i make the .deb instlation
[17:40] <^Devious^> I could not believe the difference in speed
[17:40] <nnull> ^Devious^ƺ oh?

I actually modified the dell power supply to fit a sata controller and 200gb seagate.....I waste way too much HDD
[17:42] <hog> mizipzor, 'mount'
[17:42] <cyban> emilien_, ok then you just need to add DNS numbers probably
[17:42] <mizipzor> hog, thanks
[17:42] <emilien_> cyban,  dns whats that ?
[17:42] <cyban> emilien_, System/Admin/Network/DNS
[17:42] <^Devious^> Yeah I got rid of windows 2000 (I Nlited a copy of win2k and it used around 40mb ram idle + drivers)  and removed puppy - The KUBUNTU install took a while though but to be expected

[17:43] <Vladimir[LV]> cyban: stop, there is no raid controller internal ;/
[17:43] <nnull> oh ok
[17:43] <^Devious^> the one thing I didnt hugely appreciate with the kubuntu install is - you dont choose your packages........they take the "It just works" approach
[17:43] <carnelain> hello all
[17:43] <cyban> emilien_, DNS=domain name server (IP Address of a server that translates IP addresses into Domain Names) you can get a list of available ones from your ISP's website
[17:43] <mizipzor> what must i install in order for gparted to be able to resize ntfs partitions?
[17:43] <^Devious^> hi carnelain
[17:43] <carnelain> I having some trouble upgrading to 8.04
[17:44] <sca> does anyone knows how can i configure two jacks to be sound outputs?
[17:44] <cyban> Vladimir[LV], When you boot up theres no Raid anything that is displayed like press Control C for Raid Config?
[17:44] <^Devious^> For resizing partitions I ALWAYS use something called HIRENS BOOT CD - or if you need something thats more legit ULTIMATE BOOT CD
[17:44] <cyban> mizipzor, Partition magic works well
[17:44] <carnelain> One way or the other the upgrade got stuck
[17:44] <mizipzor> cyban: isnt that windows only?
[17:44] <genii> mizipzor: ntfsprogs
[17:44] <nnull> ^Devious^ƺ yea im pretty sure thats with all of the install iso's apart from the alternative CD
[17:44] <cyban> no
[17:44] <carnelain> could somebody help me out?
[17:45] <mizipzor> genii: installing that now
[17:45] <^Devious^> two sound outputs?
[17:45] <^Devious^> do you have a mixer?
[17:45] <^Devious^> is it two sound cards or just one
[17:45] <genii> mizipzor: Also your ntfs partition should have been chkdsk'd from inside Windows and made clean
[17:45] <Vladimir[LV]> cyban no ;/
[17:45] <sca> just one
[17:45] <purld> I did an installation of ubuntu and now my WinXP partition appears inside an extended partition. XP won't boot. Can anyone help?
[17:46] <emilien_> cyban,  can you help me find it im in france my provider is freebox
[17:46] <mizipzor> genii: i dont use windows no more :p the only reason its still ntfs is that i dont have enough temporary storage to reformat it all
[17:46] <sca> i want to connect mi microphone and speakers at the same time....
[17:46] <cyban> Vladimir[LV], hrm, other than just starting over again and trying to set up the softraid im not sure, 99% of the time its just the install options you chose
[17:46] <emilien_> cyban,  is this it ? http://www.robtex.com/dns/freebox.fr.html
[17:46] <^Devious^> well mizipzor - Hirens boot cd - does exactly that - its a CLI dos based boot disk providing your machine can boot from CD
[17:47] <sca> not microphone sorry, my earphones...
[17:47] <mizipzor> ^Devious^, my box dont have a cd device
[17:47] <carnelain> can somebody help me with a stuck upgrade?
[17:47] <genii> mizipzor: Unfortunately linux has no satisfactory replacement tool for CHKDSK (or older SCANDISK). But you can mark the filesystem clean by force, not recommended.
[17:48] <cyban> emilien_, <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> add those to DNS in Network
[17:48] <purld> http://pastebin.com/d46b83579 GParted is showing my WinXP partition (/dev/sda5) inside an extended partition /dev/sda2. How do I fix it?
[17:48] <mizipzor> genii: then ill take the not recomended route ;) once i backup anything that i remotely care about
[17:50] <emilien_> cyban,  ok added no luck il reboot
[17:51] <Vladimir[LV]> cyban what install options?
[17:52] <^Devious^> nnull - yeah.... Although the amount of software available just blows me away to be honest with linux...... I've been trying linux since Red hat 7.2 - And now I'm in love with Kubuntu.....Feels like there is something missing but I'll get there
[17:52] <genii> mizipzor: man ntfsfix
[17:52] <Andeh> Hi. How do I decrease vertical line spacing very much in OpenOffice?
[17:52] <citizen42alpha> KDE seems clunky compared to Gnome.
[17:52] <Andeh> I've gotten it down to zero but it's not nearly enough with the font size
[17:52] <mizipzor> genii: much needed, thank you
[17:53] <ghost1k> hi 2 all
[17:53] <Zidatron> hey guys
[17:53] <^Devious^> purlD - Hirens boot cd would help with this problem - it has some MBR fixing tools - Im not sure if MBR is corrupt or not - you might even want to try installing GAG 4.0 - which is a boot loader that can hide partitions and do lots of magical boot things - its free
[17:53] <^Devious^> no cd.... ok
[17:53] <carnelain> sorry for asking again, but could somebody help me on an upgrade thats stuck?
[17:53] <^Devious^> so - who had the 2 outputs? Who needs help with that one
[17:53] <^Devious^> oh my goodness.......I have like a 20+ second lag  with this thing
[17:54] <liza0> hello
[17:54] <case^> hi
[17:54] <^Devious^> whoever wanted to get 2 outputs going if its 2 sound cards basically you can do a line in line out config - its even better if you hook it up to a mixerr......if you wanted to get both cards outputting simeltaenously this would have to be done at driver level or with a Virtual DJ style mixing program...........
[17:54] <ghost1k> hi
[17:54] <^Devious^> I have done 3 sound cards in one machine --- going way back when I was a DJ
[17:54] <^Devious^> 1 isa sound card 2 PCI
[17:54] <^Devious^> KDE I personally find is actually much better recently - I definitely preerred GNOME back in the red hat 7 days......but KDE is heaps better now for me........ GNOME is way faster though - just lacking what KDA has hey
[17:54] <^Devious^> *kde
[17:54] <genii> mizipzor: There is another one for explicitly forcing the fs to be marked clean, but it eludes me offhand (I do not use ntfs anymore). When you try to mount it it may say something about how to do it from there
[17:54] <case^> force 0 0
[17:55] <liza0> is there a way  to install xfce on ubunut server without getting the additional apps like media players office apps ,etc ?
[17:55] <^Devious^> brb
[17:55] <kitche> liza0: install xfce4
[17:55] <mizipzor> genii: roger, that quote goes in basKet for reminding me
[17:55] <Zidatron> i have the following problem: i use ubuntu-64 and want to compile a program for i386, and gcc gives me: "undefined reference to `__umoddi3'" - i think that means gcc cant find the 32bit-libgcc, but apt says lib32gcc1 is installed
[17:55] <Zidatron> how can i solve that?
[17:56] <Zidatron> or, wheres the problem?
[17:56] <^Devious^> im not sure about that one liza I installed blackbox and a few others as WM's only
[17:56] <^Devious^> I wish I knew how to write programs for linux full stop Zida - I wonder who can help u
[17:56] <liza0> ok
[17:57] <HKhan> is it possible to get a list of packages that haven't been installed from "stable", (so any debs from other repos etc)?
[17:57] <^Devious^> brb all
[17:57] <BinaryFu> I'd love to learn how to write programs, specifically for the gui.
[17:57] <carnelain> my upgrade stopped running whilst trying to update Grub. I now have a blinking cursor in me distribution upgrade screen
[17:57] <Zidatron> ^Devious^: well, its not a program for linux, but im pretty sure _someone_ knows how to solve this
[17:57] <carnelain> what can I do to resume the upgrade
[17:57] <BinaryFu> I've got an idea for one, but I have no clue how to go about it. :D
[17:57] <Andeh> Is there a trick to make vertical line spacing lower than 0 in OO Writer? Cause at 0 it's still too big for my design
[17:58] <Andeh> and the value doesnt want to go lower than 0
[17:58] <Zidatron> BinaryFu: why dont you just read some tutorials for gtk or qt?
[17:58] <Zidatron> google is your friend.
[17:58] <hog> carnelain, so you in a console not on X?
[17:58] <^Devious^> yeah.....sorry zida - let us know
[17:58] <BinaryFu> Zidatron: Hmmm...good point. gtk is what I'd be looking for then, for gnome I presume...
[17:58] <carnelain> hog, exactly
[17:59] <BinaryFu> Zidatron: What was it you were trying to figure out, btw?
[17:59] <Zidatron> BinaryFu: yes, for example. if you want to code for gnome specifically, who might also want to look into glib
[17:59] <Zidatron> BinaryFu: i wanted to compile a program for i386 on my 64bit machine
[17:59] <^Devious^> I was amazed with Konsole Aliases yesterday...... So simple compared to DOS
[17:59] <hog> carnelain, can you switch consoles(Alt+Fn{x}) and ps to see if the update is running if not, see what is in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[17:59] <Zidatron> but gcc doesnt seem to find the right libs/headers
[18:00] <ndee> hello there, what's the best flash player for using in ubuntu? Sometimes, I don't get sound for a flash movie when I listen to music in rhythmbox.
[18:00] <BinaryFu> Zidatron: I think the only way to do that is to include all the i386 tools it needs.
[18:00] <carnelain> hog, sorry what is that shortcut?
[18:00] <jimcooncat> What's a simple way to make a personal repository?
[18:00] <BinaryFu> Zidatron: So, in short, a pain in the ass.
[18:00] <^Devious^> What are some good BEGINNER program tools for creating applications ZIDA?
[18:00] <Zidatron> BinaryFu: you wouldnt know how to do that?
[18:00] <hog> carnelain, Ctrl+Alt+Fn(x), x=1,2,3,4...6
[18:00] <Zidatron> ^Devious^: no idea. a text editor?
[18:00] <Zidatron> (gedit, gcc, ld?)
[18:01] <Guma_> Can you turn on multi monitor support in LiveCD
[18:01] <^Devious^> really?
[18:01] <^Devious^> wow
[18:01] <BinaryFu> Zidatron: I haven't messed with ia64 since...hmmm...Breezy? But if I recall, you have to add the i386 repositories to your apt, and then it's the usual, but you don't want to slap too much in there, so be selective on your downloads.
[18:01] <IntuitiveNipple> Zidatron: to build 32-bit on 64-bit install the package lib32gcc1 and and use the -m32 flag to gcc
[18:01] <Zidatron> ^Devious^: maybe the qt package would be nicer to you, with QtDesigner you can actually design the form (window) with your mouse..
[18:01] <rrittenhouse> How do you make a .deb from source? The source (barry) already has a debian folder I just can't remember the command to try and build it.
[18:02] <^Devious^> thanks zida
[18:02] <Zidatron> IntuitiveNipple: as i wrote earlier, lib32gcc1 seems to be installed.
[18:02] <IntuitiveNipple> rrittenhouse: fakeroot debian/rules binary
[18:02] <Zidatron> welcome
[18:02] <^Devious^> I think I'll start off by getting better at the CLI
[18:02] <rrittenhouse> IntuitiveNipple, thanks
[18:02] <carnelain> hog, one program returned a failure not sure which one
[18:02] <IntuitiveNipple> Zidatron: Is the Makefile using -m32 ?
[18:02] <Zidatron> IntuitiveNipple: and i am using -m32, but gcc says he cant find __umoddi3 and __udivdi3 ..
[18:02] <^Devious^> before I write apps
[18:03] <IntuitiveNipple> Zidatron: ahh.... you need the other libs, let me try and remember which!
[18:03] <BinaryFu> ^Devious^: Learn the programming you want, learn the CLI as you need it.
[18:03] <Zidatron> Ill be nice here and let you try.
[18:03] <IntuitiveNipple> Zidatron: do you have  gcc-multilib  installed?
[18:04] <jaysonsantos> Hello people, I'm receiving 'CRL has expired' when i try to revoke a certifiy in openvepn, how can I remake this crl file ?
[18:04] <itsatrick> Does Evolution crash for anyone else?  It usually happens when I type in my password.
[18:04] <Zidatron> ARGH
[18:04] <Zidatron> IntuitiveNipple: No, i havent installed gcc-multilib.
[18:04] <Zidatron> IntuitiveNipple: thanks very much.
[18:04] <BinaryFu> itsatrick: Evolution *never* crashes for me. That being said, I use Thunderbird...
[18:04] <renouveaux> bonsoir
[18:04] <^Devious^> been using evolution fine
[18:05] <Zidatron> im used to build the gcc with USE=multilib, oddly enough i find it easier with gentoo^^
[18:05] <true\false> Right, I want to use VM software to run Ubuntu over Windows.. But my disks are NTFS formatted, is this a problem?
[18:05] <^Devious^> although now you mention it
[18:05] <^Devious^> it DID crash the first time
[18:05] <aho> ubuntu
[18:05] <aho> whops
[18:05] <^Devious^> I prefer evolution - its faster on my slow system
[18:05] <IntuitiveNipple> Zidatron: That is a meta-package so ensure the version matching the gcc version you're using is installed by it - otherwise install the specific version package manually
[18:05] <imura> ! flash player
[18:05] <BinaryFu> true\false: No, it's not a problem, you can just use WUBI and you won't need a VM.
[18:05] <^Devious^> False its not a problem
[18:05] <imura> !flash player
[18:05] <aho> true\false .. its not a problem
[18:05] <^Devious^> In the VM you should set up a VIRTUAL DISK
[18:06] <aho> the format of the image is independent of the disk format stored in the image
[18:06] <aho> if that makes any sense
[18:06] <true\false> Ok... I understand
[18:06] <Roland-> hello, I have a problem, wireless won't exceed 1 mb/s , any ideas what do I have to tweak ? I mean it's 64 mbits and the router is in the house. with windows I had 3 mb/s
[18:06] <jepp> does anyone know how to hide columns in openoffice writer?
[18:06] <^Devious^> and then format it to the  OS's Desire whether it be Linux, Dos, win, Be,mac or  anything else
[18:06] <^Devious^> and then it will install on the VM
[18:06] <imura> i don't know how to install flash player
[18:06] <true\false> Thanks, will download it tonight. :) And I guess it might be easier to shove my old 80GB HDD into this computer and run ubuntu off that?
[18:06] <imura> can someone give a hand
[18:06] <arfanzubi> hi
[18:06] <arfanzubi> djiadf
[18:06] <Zidatron> woohoo, it works..
[18:07] <arfanzubi> what's work?
[18:07] <^Devious^> Roland - I used to sell wireless gear for a living
[18:07] <^Devious^> you do know the 8/1 rule?
[18:07] <Roland-> nope
[18:07] <true\false> Eurgh this channel is too active/cluttered, but thanks. :) I'll just try ubuntu in VM first.
[18:07] <^Devious^> well your router might be a gazillion Mbps but your internet wont be
[18:07] <^Devious^> true false
[18:08] <^Devious^> I can help you
[18:08] <^Devious^> no probs
[18:08] <cyban> imura, go to Applications/Add Remove Select All Available Applications at the top, then search for Flash
[18:08] <^Devious^> What VM software are you using
[18:08] <BinaryFu> true\false: Well, you can do something else, which is kind of nice for the 'doze users out there, there's WUBI on the live CD for Ubuntu now. WUBI allows you to install Ubuntu into Windows, as if it were a Windows program. You'll have the dual boot option and everything once it's installed, and it'll give you a very good idea of what it's like, without having to figure out all those pesky partitioning issues...(Until you're ready to re
[18:08] <Roland-> lol
[18:08] <true\false> ^Devious^: Virtualbox is what I installed
[18:08] <erUSUL> Roland-: sudo iwconfig wlan0 54M
[18:08] <Roland-> my internet is 100 mbps full
[18:08] <^Devious^> Microsoft VPC doesnt really like linux distros that much - I found VMWARE was quite good
[18:08] <Roland-> if I plug in the cable I have 11 mb/s
[18:08] <^Devious^> I've never tried virtual box
[18:09] <carandraug> anyone knows how to find the actual refresh rate? Taking a look at xorg.conf "VertRefresh" only gives me a range of values.
[18:09] <^Devious^> WHOAAAA 100Mbps Internet???? What kind of internet is that?
[18:09] <^Devious^> ADSL2+ is like 20 - 24Mbits
[18:09] <true\false> BinaryFu, any real downsides to that?
[18:09] <Zidatron> BinaryFu: btw, i wanted to ask you earlier, but you _do_ know that ia-64 is a completely architecture than amd64/x86_64?
[18:09] <Roland-> is out isp band
[18:09] <^Devious^> Cable is like 30mbits
[18:09] <Vladimir[LV]> cyban: "The problem is as far as I can understand is that the HDD isn't yet detected in the kernel when RAID is assembled. I quickly fixed it only if I manually edit /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init and put sleep 10 after line log_begin_msg "Mounting root file system...". After this I updated initramfs with sudo update-initramfs -k all -u"
[18:09] <Roland-> is the largest in here
[18:09] <Roland-> and we have metropolitan network
[18:09] <Vladimir[LV]> cyban: =)
[18:09] <Roland-> we kind of all have 100 mbps in our country
[18:09] <BinaryFu> true\false: Zero downsides 100% upsides.
[18:09] <true\false> ^Devious^, got it reccomeded from another ubuntu user. :)
[18:09] <sidewalk> when i login on gnome in Ubuntu, I get really big windows saying "Error loading" something, can't get the complete error message, do you guys know how to get rid of it?
[18:09]  * ^hellfire^ siema
[18:10] <true\false> BinaryFu, and I guess no file system issues, as I'm already NTFS?
[18:10] <sidewalk> alot of popups
[18:10] <^Devious^> if youre using an actual WIFI hotspot then it could be the BURST rate of 3mb's - in Aus with Telstra bigpond wireless burst speeds are up to 3mbs
[18:10] <sidewalk> i tried removing .gnome, .gnome2 and .gnome2_private, restarting gdm but it didnt help
[18:10] <BinaryFu> Zidatron: Yeah, I just use ia-64 as short for all of it. I don't bother with 64 bit, and won't until they have everything worked out 100%.
[18:10] <^Devious^> cool true/false nice sounding app then hey..... If youre using windows I've got an idea for you
[18:10] <cyban> Vladimir[LV], good to know, I dont do kernel arguments, odd that you had to
[18:10] <imura> cyban thanks
[18:10] <BinaryFu> true\false: Nope, zero issues. It installs inside the Windows partition.
[18:10] <sidewalk> anyone?
[18:10] <Zidatron> BinaryFu: just wanted to let you know.
[18:11] <JeyPeyy> Someone knows where to find the ubuntu source code?
[18:11] <true\false> ^Devious^: Windows XP MCE, possibly moving to Vista (Depending on what I can scrounge from uni)
[18:11] <jmp-eax> but
[18:11] <jmp-eax> sorry, wrong typed
[18:11] <BinaryFu> Zidatron: np bud, I fully understand, and it's appreciated.
[18:11] <mib_hgr24k> how do give everyone all permission on a text file?
[18:11] <BinaryFu> Zidatron: I should have been more clear in my explanation.
[18:11] <Zidatron> ^^
[18:11] <sidewalk> mib_hgr24k: chmod
[18:11] <^Devious^> If youre moving to vista (I've used it) I'd just go to Kubuntu with Compiz
[18:11] <Zidatron> BinaryFu: i forgive you :D
[18:12] <^Devious^> try it out in Vbox
[18:12] <mib_hgr24k> sidewalk: chmod xxx *
[18:12] <sidewalk> mig_hgr24k: chmod ugo+rwx file
[18:12] <sidewalk> mig_hgr24k: that gives all users full access to the file
[18:12] <^Devious^> But on a less opinionated topic - you will def want to defrag using something like JKDEGRAG sevral times - google it up
[18:12] <Nono> \join #ubuntu--fr
[18:12] <^Devious^> Windows default defrag is useless
[18:12] <mib_hgr24k> for some reason when i copy from old winduhs partition, I get bunked up connections..
[18:12] <^Devious^> well.....not entirely
[18:12] <mib_hgr24k> permissions I mean
[18:13] <true\false> ^Devious^, will look at kubuntu with compiz in a second then ta
[18:13] <Roland-> that's it
[18:13] <BinaryFu> Ya know, I've never been a fan of KDE...looks close enough to Windows to fool ya, and operates enough like linux to frustrate ya. :D
[18:13] <Roland-> im switching back to windows
[18:13] <Roland-> better multitasking
[18:13] <Roland-> :)
[18:13] <Roland-> cya
[18:13] <^Devious^> lol @ binary fu
[18:13] <true\false> Gah I can't wait to get a second desktop.. Laziness+]
[18:13] <^Devious^> Better multitasking? I disagree for sure there
[18:14] <BinaryFu> Yeah I was gonna call foul on that "better multi-tasking" part.
[18:14] <mib_hgr24k> sidewalk, tyvm
[18:14] <BinaryFu> I mean, c'mon...
[18:14] <^Devious^> On my p3 933 with no ram on it - Im running 5 pagers (Spaces) and running HEAPS
[18:14] <true\false> Well, if you're used to something, it's just awkward to hange
[18:14] <sidewalk> when i login on gnome in Ubuntu, I get really big windows saying "Error loading" something, can't get the complete error message, do you guys know how to get rid of it?
[18:14] <^Devious^> when i was running win2k it just wouldnt play ball
[18:14] <^Devious^> youd load firefox, word and a few other things and it would just die
[18:15] <JeyPeyy> where can I find all of Ubuntu's source code?
[18:15] <^Devious^> I totally agree true/false
[18:15] <^Devious^> It is VERY awkward to change
[18:15] <nubuntu> anybody give me some tips on good newbie resources to learn about gaining, granting, and restricting remote access?
[18:15] <BinaryFu> true\false: I found the only way I could really learn Linux, was to do away with Windows...I kept running back to it every time something got hard.
[18:15] <^Devious^> thats why I've tried linux ever since red hat 7.2 and gone back and forwards
[18:15] <BinaryFu> Once I killed off Windows completely, I started to get really comfortable with Linux. And learned tons.
[18:15] <true\false> BinaryFu: I can't get rid of windows completely, so I don't plan to do that, I just want some linux experience
[18:16] <^Devious^> but now I have Kubuntu 8.04 (They have alpha 8.10 now so I've heard) I must say Linux has improved VASTLY since then
[18:16] <^Devious^> no more modifying the boot process to load my promise ATA PCI card, no more config mouse drivers
[18:16] <Zidatron> ^Devious^: how do you know?
[18:16] <JeyPeyy> please someone answer: Can I find all of the source code ubuntu uses somewhere?
[18:16] <true\false> Red Hat \o/
[18:16] <^Devious^> how do I know what?
[18:16] <Zidatron> ^Devious^: so you're talking about ubuntu, then?
[18:16] <Zidatron> JeyPeyy: sure.
[18:17] <^Devious^> yeah Im on kubuntu right now
[18:17] <Zidatron> but i have know idea where.
[18:17] <JeyPeyy> Zidatron: Where?
[18:17] <BinaryFu> true\false: Just give yourself like...weekends or something like that, where you don't allow yourself access to windows at all.
[18:17] <Zidatron> JeyPeyy: as i said, no idea where. do you have bzr?
[18:17] <true\false> BinaryFu: Heh, easier said than done when I'm a CS student, and prefer .NET as a platform
[18:18] <BinaryFu> true\false: Anytime you run into an issue, google it, read up on it, learn. If you go, "Dammit, I really need a program to play my mp3s!!!" look it up, find out what's available and try them out. That is the single most best advice I can give.
[18:18] <BobC2> I just upgraded after 2.5 yrs from 6.06 to 8.04    Yahhhhhoooooo and had to tell someone   WOW and AMAZING
[18:18] <^Devious^> well the reason that is no longer a reason because im lazy now - that i switched over to kubuntu is from what I read programming applications is much better in linux as well as cracking wireless networks and general HTML

[18:18] <^Devious^> + the tst netrc and other network security tools
[18:18] <BinaryFu> BobC2: Welcome back from the stone ages. ;)
[18:18] <alice_> hh
[18:18] <alice_> hi
[18:18] <BobC2> Thanks BinaryFu
[18:18] <^Devious^> My first ubuntu was 5.04
[18:18] <^Devious^> I actually have hte red cd's still
[18:18] <Guma_> will next version of Ubuntu support FakeRAID?
[18:18] <^Devious^> theres a 2cd sleeve
[18:19] <BobC2> ahhh 5.04
[18:19] <BinaryFu> My first was breezy bastard.
[18:19] <cyban> Guma_, No OS ever likes fakeraid heh
[18:19] <BinaryFu> I mean, badger.
[18:19] <LinuxGhost> Hi, everyone.Is there one command to re-upgrade ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 8.04 just to correct some errors at booting system.When i boot my pc it usually hangs and i dont want to reinstall the system because its too hard to install LAMP and OFFICE, ive crashed my head to do that.Please, help me!!!
[18:19] <alice_> hiyah
[18:19] <^Devious^> breezy bastard?? What the? lol
[18:19] <true\false> BinaryFu: Aye, I'll try to get a decent understanding, I'm just too lazy to get it set up right now to be honest
[18:19] <BobC2> I did all on line it wa awesome!
[18:19] <zibri> 5.04.. memories
[18:19] <cyban> I am a Fedora user, tryung Ubunto for a while since F9 sux
[18:19] <BobC2> was*
[18:19] <BinaryFu> Freudian slip.
[18:19] <true\false> I figure that I HAVE to reinstall windows within a fortnight
[18:19] <JeyPeyy> ubottu: Yes I know, but I want to build all of ubuntu from scratch
[18:19] <Guma_> cyban: So I have to get real RAID card? Since the one on my MB will not be supports?
[18:20] <^Devious^> well couldnt you just do this at CLI ??? Sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop?? wouldnt that install packages needed that are missing?
[18:20] <JeyPeyy> using rock linux or something
[18:20] <BobC2> lol
[18:20] <BinaryFu> true\false: But...with WUBI, there's not much "set up" to do. It's like installing a windows program...literally.
[18:20] <Odd-rationale> JeyPeyy: maybe try gentoo ?
[18:20] <^Devious^> Cant you do a software LVM raid or something?
[18:20] <cyban> Guma_, there is no real advantage to fakeraid - use softraid as a replacement
[18:20] <Odd-rationale> JeyPeyy: or LFS?
[18:20] <LinuxGhost> Hi, everyone.Is there one command to re-upgrade ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 8.04 just to correct some errors at booting system.When i boot my pc it usually hangs and i dont want to reinstall the system because its too hard to install LAMP and OFFICE, ive crashed my head to do that.Please, help me!!!
[18:20] <BobC2> Easier than Windows..really!
[18:20] <IntuitiveNipple> JeyPeyy: All the source code is available manually from http://packages.ubuntu.com, or automatically per-package using "apt get source <package-name>"
[18:20] <cyban> fakeraid for Windows, softraid for Linux/UNIX/BSD
[18:20] <^Devious^> linuxghost did you read my response
[18:20] <LinuxGhost> no
[18:21] <true\false> BinaryFu: Hmm, I don't see how that will work entirely :s but it's on the standard image I'll be downloading?
[18:21] <^Devious^> whats the alternate to apt-get that is easier to remove if something goes wrong
[18:21] <^Devious^> i dont remember it
[18:21] <alice_> is this a chat room
[18:21] <^Devious^> let me load up a console and check
[18:21] <Odd-rationale> ^Devious^: aptitude?
[18:21] <^Devious^> BINGO thanks odd ration
[18:21] <^Devious^> thats te one
[18:21] <Guma_> cyban: How can I do that? I am trying to install 8.04 on my 680i SLI MB and in Bios it reports Stripe RAID but Ubuntu sees it as two separate drives. Any help is appriciates.
[18:21] <BinaryFu> ^Devious^: That would work, but if he's got corrupted configs, he might need to do the fancy options I can't remember.
[18:21] <BobC2> yep alice this is a chat room
[18:21] <alice_> kk
[18:22] <BinaryFu> true\false: Yes. And it works using elfin magic.
[18:22] <LinuxGhost> Devious? in command line type sudo apt-get only?
[18:22] <^Devious^> omg I actually made a half valid suggestion.....it means im actually learning something
[18:22] <^Devious^> me pats myself on back
[18:22] <^Devious^> Linux ghost
[18:22] <cyban> Guma_, disable Fakeraid in BIOS, use Ubuntu install to configure a Software RAID array
[18:22] <IntuitiveNipple> Guma_: That sounds like SoftRAID - and you'll need the matching driver. It might be dmraid you need
[18:22] <LinuxGhost> Devious?
[18:22] <^Devious^> you know what I really love that I did in linux
[18:22] <unop> alice_, it's not a chat room - it's a support channel - off topic chat goes in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:22] <^Devious^> if you google how to edit your bash.rc file
[18:22] <Guma_> ok Thanx guys
[18:22] <BinaryFu> ^Devious^: Browse porn without getting a trojan?
[18:22] <alice_> wot do u all talk abut comp
[18:22] <^Devious^> you can add an ALIAS
[18:22] <^Devious^> LOL BINARY
[18:22] <BobC2> Oppps sorry alice
[18:23] <^Devious^> Nah thats why people buy MAC systems!!!! lmao
[18:23] <Pici> !ot | alice_
[18:23] <^Devious^> better for graphics
[18:23] <cyban> If Ubuntu has Softraid options, I assume it does since most every other Linux distro does....
[18:23] <alice_> sorry 4 wot
[18:23] <LinuxGhost> DEvious, put name/nick when u wrte advise
[18:23] <true\false> BinaryFu, ^Devious^ : Thanks, will just try a few different things out between now and formatting. :)
[18:23] <unop> alice_, we support ubuntu here
[18:23] <BinaryFu> ^Devious^: Lies. Ubuntu is peachy for graphics, and macs are PCs now.
[18:23] <^Devious^> ok now im lost between all talks
[18:23] <alice_> oh kk
[18:23] <LinuxGhost> Hi, everyone.Is there one command to re-upgrade ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 8.04 just to correct some errors at booting system.When i boot my pc it usually hangs and i dont want to reinstall the system because its too hard to install LAMP and OFFICE, ive crashed my head to do that.Please, help me!!!
[18:23] <^Devious^> So macs are pc's and peaches are for pears and pc's ?
[18:24] <BobC2> It is a chat room used to help with Ubuntu ...What's in a name?  lol
[18:24] <^Devious^> ok sorry LINUXGHOST
[18:24] <alice_> can u go one2one wid someone
[18:24] <Pici> ^Devious^: This is still a support channel, if you want to chat, please join #ubuntu-offtopic or elsewhere
[18:24] <unop> !pm | alice_
[18:24] <cyban> LinuxGhost, apt-get --help, clean it up a little might fix it
[18:24] <BobC2> best to ask a question here many will see it and help
[18:24] <Odd-rationale> alice_: yes. but you need to registered...
[18:24] <^Devious^> Edit bash rc and  add something like ALIAS GET="sudo apt-get install"
[18:25] <Odd-rationale> !register | alice_
[18:25] <cyban> clean, upgrade, check etc
[18:25] <^Devious^> and then every time you type GET in the CLI it will perform that command
[18:25] <unop> ^Devious^, that will not work for a few reasons
[18:25] <alice_> have u all got webbook or heard of em
[18:25] <Pici> Odd-rationale: You do not need to be registered to send private messages on freenode.
[18:25] <kevin_> hardy heron, dell inspiron 6000, hp p1170 external monitor, i want to soley use external monitor when it's connected to laptop and i want the laptop screen to be off
[18:25] <unop> Pici, hmm
[18:25] <Odd-rationale> Pici: oh sorry. has that change? or always been that way?
[18:25] <^Devious^> so then LINUXGHOST you can then actually easily install several packages including Ubuntu - but as it was mentioned I dont know if that will work
[18:25] <JeyPeyy> Thanx everyone who helped me out
[18:25] <Pici> Odd-rationale: It changed a few months ago
[18:25] <BobC2> <---does not know of webbook
[18:25] <rsc--> alice, whats webbook? ^^
[18:26] <Odd-rationale> Pici: thx for the update...
[18:26] <BinaryFu> kevin_: That's more of a bios issue than Linux.
[18:26] <LinuxGhost> cyban, wount it clean all hard disk?
[18:26] <unop> ^Devious^,  linux (or in this case, bash) commands are case-sensitive .. ALIAS is not a valid command
[18:26] <^Devious^> so it must be lower case unop? Thanks for the knowhow
[18:26] <kevin_> BinaryFu: what?windows can do this no problem
[18:27] <unop> ^Devious^, and "bash rc" wouldn't be a valid rc file for a default bash setup atleast
[18:27] <cyban> LinuxGhost, your in Ubuntu right, not mid install?
[18:27] <BinaryFu> kevin_: Then you have a setting in bios to do so, I presume...what video card are you using?
[18:27] <cyban> kevin_, Close the laptop lid
[18:27] <BobC2> can view YouTube now in 8.04 and it saw my digital camera  too! WhoooHoooo!
[18:27] <LinuxGhost> cyban,ham? i dint understand,sorry
[18:27] <xintron> ok, I'm on this server trying to get syntax hilighting to work in vim but it doesn't. "ls -C" returns with colors but I couldn't set up to get colors in vim, where should I start?
[18:27] <^Devious^> lovely bobc2
[18:27] <kevin_> BinaryFu: intel915 i think
[18:28] <cyban> LinuxGhost, you're all set, on Ubuntu just errors etc, or you're having problems installing?
[18:28] <unop> xintron, :syntax on
[18:28] <^Devious^> I was delighted to find that when I plug in just about any USB printer it picks it up automagically
[18:28] <kevin_> cyban: doesn't do anything, closed lid is closey but screen is till on, as clone
[18:28] <^Devious^> no driver install disks
[18:28] <LinuxGhost> cyban,apt-get --help then clean option?
[18:28] <BobC2> Really is Devious  ... I'm SOOOO impressed
[18:28] <xintron> unop: ofc :)
[18:28] <BobC2> nice pic editing tools too
[18:28] <^Devious^> youtube is REALLY slow with a 1mb gfx card though lol bob
[18:28] <xintron> unop: it's not that easy cuz it won't work with my .bashrc file either (with some colors to it)
[18:28] <Guma_> cyban: How much difference in speed is between real RAID card and dmraid? It is worth getting hardware RAID? I am interested in RAID 0
[18:28] <cyban> LinuxGhost, no just apt-get --help read the different options like sudo apt-get autoclean
[18:28] <^Devious^> and also I was impressed that I plugged in a sata / ide usb converter and it picks up straight off bat
[18:29] <LinuxGhost> cyban, ive installed ubuntu for long time just now having booting troubleshooting
[18:29] <unop> xintron, i fail to see how vim commands are somehow tied with .bashrc ?
[18:29] <BinaryFu> kevin_: Then go into System - Preferences - Screen Resolution and turn of Clone Screens.
[18:29] <BobC2> well its  my 256 mb memory that's slow now
[18:29] <^Devious^> brb
[18:29] <VanarP> Help installing me fluxbuntu with iso please !
[18:29] <cyban> kevin_, try vid card upgrade, also check your power management options - im on a laptop, lid closed, screen on laptop is off
[18:29] <LinuxGhost> cyban, ok i will try now be there ill be back
[18:29] <unop> xintron, or maybe you want to turn syntax highlighting for when you edit a .bashrc? is what what you mean?
[18:29] <xintron> unop: I meant to get the "what it's called, where the username@host: is"
[18:29] <VanarP> help
[18:30] <unop> xintron, that's the bash prompt
[18:30] <xintron> unop: that line colored (copied from my own machine to the server but it still doesn't get that color)
[18:30] <xintron> unop: yeah
[18:30] <cyban> Guma - for RAID 0 IMO its not worth it but thats just opinion, unless you need RAID 3, 5, 7 no point going and spending the cash for the RAID controllers
[18:30] <^Devious^> I wonder how it is possible to install a distro from an ISO at a command prompt booting from BIOS
[18:30] <^Devious^> without a CD
[18:30] <Odd-rationale> !install | ^Devious^
[18:30] <carandraug> anyone knows how to find the actual refresh rate through the terminal? Taking a look at xorg.conf "VertRefresh" only gives me a range of values and xdpyinfo gives me no information on the actual refresh rate (so it seems me)
[18:31] <BobC2> Anyone know if web cams work with 8.04?
[18:31] <BinaryFu> BobC2: Most do.
[18:31] <unop> xintron, well, there are a couple of things that could stop colours from being displayed in a terminal .. one, the terminal itself does not support colours, two, the PS1 variable isn't using colours, three, the TERM evironmental variable is setup wrong for your terminal.
[18:31] <^Devious^> YES BOB
[18:31] <^Devious^> def
[18:31] <citizen42alpha> Cheese Bob.
[18:31] <^Devious^> are you on gnome or kde bob?
[18:31] <hog> BobC2, haven't had any video chat luck yet
[18:31] <BobC2> Ty BinaryFu and Devious
[18:32] <kevin_> BinaryFu: closing laptop lids causes both screens toflick off then back on
[18:32] <kevin_> powermanagement settings are set to blank screen
[18:32] <BobC2> hog I have not tried yet
[18:32] <BinaryFu> BobC2: Best bet, if you want to find out about a specific type, just type "(name of webcam/model number) on ubuntu" and you'll get a lot of nice hits in Google to help you find out if it works fine or not.

[18:32] <^Devious^> Id prob just plug it in
[18:32] <xintron> unop: probably the TERM enviromental thing. "tput colors" returns: "tput: unknown terminal "rxvt-unicode"". How do I solve this then?
[18:33] <^Devious^> plug in in plug it in (sings) (yes its from a cheesy commercial)

[18:43] <VanarP> I have already searched for 2 days
[18:43] <Myrtti> Ez try fslint or  trimtrees.pl
[18:43] <BinaryFu> Mikey: We only do noobie sacrifices on Friday night. It's Monday, you're WAY safe.
[18:43] <Mikey> ah good to hear that :P
[18:43] <ezzieyguywuf> cyban: oh i see what your saying, the only problem is that i re-riped them in flac (lossless) and originally had them stored in ogg (lossy), so I don't want to merge them, I just want to know which ones i haven't reripped so i can go buy them, and get them in losssless :-D
[18:44] <Mikey> listen, I gave up on the internet looking for an answer...which I know is around, but just can't seem to find it
[18:44] <Vladimir[LV]> BinaryFu: no, just a flash memory card
[18:44] <Vladimir[LV]> binarydigit
[18:44] <cyban> hrm... cant think of an easy way other than diff
[18:44] <Vladimir[LV]> BinaryFu: data travaler aka
[18:44] <cyban> maybe search for a premade script
[18:44] <BinaryFu> Vladimir[LV]: If you have a flash memory card, and nothing to connect it to the computer...in ANY OS, it's gonna be a HUGE challenge to read that puppy.
[18:44] <Mikey> I'm trying to find a way for ubuntu to search the internet or where ever (like windows update and the such) for drivers of hardware it didn't find

[18:45] <BinaryFu> Vladimir[LV]: But if you have a way to connect it to the computer via USB (typical way to connect them with a reader of some sort) then just plug it in and away you go.
[18:45] <djdano> Hey all, I have a belkin wireless USB hub, and Im running ubuntu hardy heron.  My other non wirelss USB hub plugs in and works, but I can't get this one to work.  Can anyone help me?
[18:45] <vassler> can anyone tell me if there any other elite graphix design apps in linux/ubuntu other than gimp??  please hlp me ?
[18:45] <BinaryFu> Mikey: What vid card?
[18:45] <tactics> does anyone here use gcj?
[18:45] <VanarP> CAN I INSTALL "FLUXBUNTU" USING ISO FILE ?
[18:45] <bazzieb|nb> hey guys, how do i disable SELinux in ubuntu?
[18:45] <Vladimir[LV]> BinaryFu: where i need to CD?
[18:46] <Mikey> It's an on-board ATI Card, made probably only for HP Compaq NX9010 Notebooks
[18:46] <Vladimir[LV]> BinaryFu: some cd /dev/..
[18:46] <vassler> can anyone tell me if there any other elite graphix design apps in linux/ubuntu other than gimp??  please hlp me ?
[18:46] <Mikey> Yeah very difficult to find driver...which is somewhere...just can't find it
[18:46] <tactics> VanarP, never heard of fluxbuntu - but most linux distros use an iso to install yes
[18:46] <bazzieb|nb> having a problem with vmware and i read that i need to disable SELinux
[18:46] <BinaryFu> Vladimir[LV]: You should not need to CD, it should just pop up a window with the contents...but...if it doesn't, you could go to Places and see if it's mounted. Other than that, if you MUST use the CLI, then I would go /media/ and ls to see what's new in there.
[18:46] <tactics> vassler, `elite'?
[18:47] <BinaryFu> Mikey: But it *is* a fairly new ati card?
[18:47] <Mikey> no
[18:47] <Mikey> It's at least 5 years old
[18:47] <unop> VanarP, yes, with some trouble - but if you already have ubuntu installed, you can install the fluxbox package and switch desktops to the same effect.
[18:47] <Vladimir[LV]> BinaryFu: IM HAVE UBUNTU SERVER EDITION.....!
[18:47] <Boothead> hello
[18:47] <Mikey> It's an on-board card
[18:47] <bazzieb|nb> how do i disable SELinux?
[18:48] <BinaryFu> Mikey: Ewww....you may have a tough time finding it then. I'd do a google for ati drivers (model number) ubuntu
[18:48] <benzs_s> noob question: how do you rename files via terminal
[18:48] <BinaryFu> Vladimir[LV]: I gotcha, yeah, just do a CD to /media
[18:48] <unop> benzs_s, use mv or rename
[18:48] <VanarP> but i dont have any distro already ,unop ?
[18:48] <benzs_s> unop: mv, cool
[18:48] <unop> benzs_s,  mv  old_filename new_filename
[18:48] <BinaryFu> Vladimir[LV]: And do an ls to see what's in there, it's probably just mounted as "disk" or something like that.
[18:48] <Mikey> heh BinaryFu: I've spent hours doing that mate :P
[18:49] <BinaryFu> Mikey: What's the model of it again?
[18:49] <unop> VanarP, then burn your ISO to CD and start the install :)
[18:49] <akitra> hallo allerseits jemand der auch deutshc kann?
[18:49] <unop> !de | akitra
[18:49] <Vladimir[LV]> BinaryFu: thank you..!
[18:49] <VanarP> unop, if I could do that why would have I asked for installation through .iso
[18:49] <akitra> ok thx
[18:49] <shuffle21> how can i get later packages than what are supplied with hardy?
[18:50] <shuffle21> like i need scons >= .98
[18:50] <BinaryFu> Vladimir[LV]: No problem, sorry I didn't understand your difficulty with no gui there. :)
[18:50] <LinuxGhost> cyban
[18:50] <VanarP> actually the installation starts using unet
[18:50] <shuffle21> and hardy only has .97\
[18:50] <citizen42alpha> compile.
[18:50] <Mikey> BinaryFu gonna try installing the ATI binary X.Org driver at the moment
[18:50] <LinuxGhost> cyban?
[18:50] <cyban> ?
[18:50] <VanarP> from the iso
[18:50] <le_mischa> shuffle21: www.getdeb.net, hardy backports, hardy experimental
[18:50] <Mikey> The Notebook model is HP Compaq nx9010
[18:50] <Mikey> It's very difficult but I'm assuming a driver exists
[18:50] <unop> VanarP, I guess, without grub or without a CD to burn the ISO to - you can't do it
[18:50] <LinuxGhost> cybann, <<<<<<<<<<<<<<unsuccessfull
[18:51] <cyban> Mikey, tried the Linva drivers?
[18:51] <LinuxGhost> cyban,the problem contiunes
[18:51] <Mikey> let me check that out
[18:51] <cyban> :/ whats it doin again LinuxGhost
[18:51] <cyban> boot issues, but what specifically
[18:51] <vassler> ANYONE?
[18:51] <Mikey> I came across other driver names tbh
[18:51] <shuffle21> Package search results for "scons"No results found for your search. lol
[18:51] <vassler> can anyone tell me if there any other elite graphix design apps in linux/ubuntu other than gimp??  please hlp me ?
[18:51] <gamma-x> anyone have an intell iwl4965 working?
[18:51] <VanarP> But during the installation it tries to mount CDROM and cant continue without it, is there a way to skip that
[18:51] <unop> shuffle21, sudo aptitude install scons
[18:52] <cyban> VanarP, your installing from Network?
[18:52] <Mikey> Ok, here's a good question...how can I find the current driver version of my graphics card?
[18:52] <IdentifyTarget> you guys have GOT to be kidding me. I expect this from windows but from ubuntu......start ubuntu without a computer plugged in "Keyboard fauiler, press F1 to continue or F2 to enter setup"
[18:52] <BinaryFu> Mikey: Can you give me a pastebin of your xorg.conf?
[18:52] <Mikey> Just curious to see if the drivers I just installed are working....
[18:52] <IdentifyTarget> *without a keyboard plugged in
[18:52] <unop> VanarP, how are you starting the install exactly?
[18:52] <rsc--> IdentifyTarget, that's not Ubuntu's fault. that's your BIOS doing that
[18:52] <Mikey> let me see if I can figure out how to do that
[18:52] <cyban> Mikey, cant - you can find generic or multi - go to amd's ati site
[18:53] <gamma-x> im having a lot of trouble trouble trying to get my intel wireless 4965 working. can anyone help?
[18:53] <BinaryFu> Mikey: Just use glxgears in the terminal to see if your 3d is working.
[18:53] <IdentifyTarget> oh well that figures. it is a dell
[18:53] <grim76__> IdentifyTarget: That is bios related not os related.
[18:53] <IdentifyTarget> stupid POS
[18:53] <VanarP> By using UNetbootin
[18:53] <grim76__> IdentifyTarget: there should be an option to ignore errors on boot.
[18:53] <LinuxGhost> cyban, When i boot pc it hangs when booting, i usually press"ESC" key then "Root Recovery Mode" then "Resume" to get booted successful.WHat a pity of me:-( HELP ME
[18:53] <VanarP> It has extracted the iso and created a bootloader
[18:53] <IdentifyTarget> thanks. I'll look into it
[18:54] <Mikey> 3D is working
[18:54] <cyban> LinuxGhost, is there something screwey in the session startup?
[18:54] <Mikey> Nice thanks BinaryFu, I guess that means some kind of Driver is installed
[18:54] <unop> Mikey, grep -i -C 5 driver_name /var/log/Xorg.0.log  #might help
[18:54] <Mikey> Thats a good thing
[18:54] <Mikey> thanks unop
[18:54] <Jampiter> Hi
[18:54] <Jampiter> Is there a way to make GNOME's sound effects thingy play OGGs?
[18:54] <BinaryFu> Mikey: What kind of numbers are you seeing in the output?
[18:55] <unop> VanarP, not sure then - sorry
[18:55] <VanarP> thnks
[18:55] <LinuxGhost> CYBAN, screwy? I just see that image wich swings during bootin stoping in the midle
[18:55] <Mikey> nothing, it's not giving me any values
[18:55] <Mikey> BinaryFu: doesn't seem to be working
[18:55] <BinaryFu> Mikey: In the terminal, you should see something like...
[18:56] <unop> Mikey, if you are speaking to someone in particular - make mention of their name so they know
[18:56] <masterloki> hi there I need an advice, I'm trying to check my /home which is formated XFS
[18:56] <Mikey> I found the Xorg.0.log file
[18:56] <LinuxGhost>  CYBAN, screwy? I just see that image wich swings during bootin stoping in the midle
[18:56] <BinaryFu> 10000 frames in 5.0 seconds = x FPS
[18:56] <cyban> LinuxGhost, could just go to System/Pref/Session and disable thigns 1 at a time, reboot and see which app is hanging
[18:56] <masterloki> but since can mount it, look like I'll need to use the -L option
[18:56] <Mikey> No nothing shows...let me check if I can find within the xorg.0.log file
[18:56] <delta___> Hey there! I need stop stop a raid device, which is currently busy (endless loop in kernel space). Is there any way to stop it anyway?
[18:56] <aib> how to get CPANPLUS on Ubuntu?
[18:56] <unop> Mikey, if i do that command, this is what i get told about the nvidia driver i have-  compiled for 4.0.2, module version = 1.0.0
[18:56] <Mikey> nothing
[18:57] <masterloki> is there a another way to do this?
[18:57] <Mikey> BinaryFu Nothing
[18:57] <Mikey> unop sorry about that
[18:57] <edlv> i downloaded real player from www.real.com/linux . now,how do i install it?please help
[18:57] <Jampiter> Anyone?
[18:57] <BinaryFu> Mikey: No, when you fire up glxgears in your terminal, and you see the little box running, leave the box running...in the terminal, you'll start to see output after about 5 seconds.
[18:57] <Mikey> unop hmm possibly the driver isn't good
[18:57] <unop> Mikey, what driver are you attempting to us?
[18:57] <unop> use*
[18:57] <Mikey> BinaryFu where is the output displayed?
[18:58] <Mikey> unop I'm using the ATI binary X.Org driver
[18:58] <edlv> anyone?
[18:58] <unop> Mikey, in the terminal itself
[18:58] <BinaryFu> Mikey: Just under the input of glxgears in the terminal.
[18:58] <Mikey> unop It installed itself without problems
[18:58] <unop> Mikey, ok, so what command did you give exactly?
[18:58] <IdentifyTarget> ubuntu can install .deb files right?
[18:58] <ill_phaze>  How do I get Ubuntu to boot up using a 1600x1200 resolution every time? Every time I boot it goes back to 1024x768. I've tried saving to xorg and it still does this. Any suggestions?
[18:59] <Mikey> BinaryFu I see it
[18:59] <Jampiter> IdentifyTarget: Yes
[18:59] <IdentifyTarget> what's the command?
[18:59] <unop> IdentifyTarget, sure - ubuntu's packages are .deb files
[18:59] <BinaryFu> Mikey: w00t, now, what's your FPS showing?
[18:59] <Jampiter> Just double click the file i think
[18:59] <Jampiter> and it'll go IdentifyTarget
[18:59] <Mikey> BinaryFu yeah my bad...it has a small delay, didn't realise that
[18:59] <unop> IdentifyTarget, if you want to install something, first look for the package within synaptic
[18:59] <r3dd0> i followed this guide to setup 5.1 sound: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4451132 now everytime i try to start pulseaudio, i get a segmentation fault. How do I find the error? Are there any logfiles?
[18:59] <Mikey> BinaryFu what does that mean I have drivers installed?
[18:59] <IdentifyTarget> unop I did
[18:59] <unop> IdentifyTarget, only resort to manually installing a file if there are no alternatives
[19:00] <unop> IdentifyTarget,   sudo dpkg -i /path/to/file.deb
[19:00] <adityag> how to find out the md5sum of an iso image ?

[19:00] <genius> anyone know if vmware can read images created by dd ? i want to move my old pc contents to virtual machine
[19:00] <Mikey> BinaryFu: Values between 300 FPS and 1800 FPS
[19:01] <BinaryFu> Mikey: Eh, for a 5 year old card, that's not horribad.
[19:01] <BinaryFu> Mikey: I'd say that things are set up properly.
[19:01] <vassler> best mp3 file editing app linux/ubuntu?
[19:01] <nixbox> is there a tool which can trace function calls when a kernel module is loaded? a kernel space "strace" maybe?
[19:01] <Mikey> BinaryFu: I just gave the damn notebook a good cleaning....incredible what I found....about 50 screws taken out of the notebook
[19:02] <djdano> vassler: I like audacity
[19:02] <vassler> ANYONE knoW?
[19:02] <ill_phaze> How do I get Ubuntu to boot up using a 1600x1200 resolution every time? Every time I boot it goes back to 1024x768. I've tried saving to xorg and it still does this. Any suggestions?
[19:02] <IdleOne> !best > vassler
[19:02] <Myrtti> !caps | vassler
[19:02] <BinaryFu> vassler: I prefer audacity myself.
[19:02] <Mikey> BinaryFu: When I put it back together, I mysteriously, still had left 3 screws left out, which I am clueless where I was meant to put them
[19:02] <spacemonkey> anyone know how to install a program from a CD?
[19:02] <carnelain> hog: it worked
[19:03] <BinaryFu> Mikey: That's okay, they lower the overall weight of the laptop, thus improving portability... >.>
[19:03] <Mikey> BinaryFu: heh good point
[19:03] <Mikey> BinaryFu: If my FPS is displayed that still
[19:03] <Zaiden> Pulseaudio seems to make almost all the sound very choppy, is there a fix for it?
[19:03] <Mikey> means drivers installed?
[19:03] <Mikey> BinaryFu: If my FPS is displayed that still means drivers installed?
[19:04] <BinaryFu> Mikey: The fact that you can see the screen means drivers are installed...and honestly, for a five year old card, I'm betting Ubuntu has the best driver picked out already. You're never going to see OMG graphics on a five year old lappy, but they shouldn't suck horribad either.
[19:04] <adityag> i want to learn about the shortcuts in ubuntu 8.04----like ctrl+w for closing a window.........i want to learn more about them

[19:05] <Jampiter> !shortcuts
[19:05] <Mikey> BinaryFu: I'm not looking for amazing graphics...I just need to ensure proper drivers are installed so I can attempt to enable Dual Display (Cloned) setting
[19:05] <Jampiter> !shortcuts | adityag
[19:05] <r3dd0> spacemonkey, mount the cd and search for an linux installer
[19:05] <BinaryFu> Mikey: Give 'er a shot.
[19:06] <spacemonkey> will that be a .exe file?
[19:06] <Mikey> BinaryFu: have you managed? I know it's complicated
[19:06] <Mikey> BinaryFu: i mean complicated if done manually...which is what I probably will need to do
[19:06] <outblasted> What does bang in '!shortcuts' or '!Keyboard' mean? Where should I type this?
[19:07] <citizen42alpha> any clue as to why my screen dims slightly when hitting the backspace key ?
[19:07] <BinaryFu> Mikey: It's really tricky in ubuntu...usually, you have to...go into System...then Preferences...they Screen Resolution and click the box that says "Clone screens" to clone it. :)
[19:07] <BinaryFu> Mikey: There's also another location you can do it, but I honestly can't remember, I'm a desktop guy myself.
[19:07] <Jampiter> outblasted: Typing in a topic with a ! in front of it here will make Ubottu give you info :)
[19:08] <spacemonkey> r3dd0: there is a setup.exe file, is that it?
[19:08] <r3dd0> spacemonkey, no
[19:08] <Mikey> are you serious!?!?!
[19:08] <outblasted> Jampiter: In this topic? Right here?
[19:08] <skinnymg1> hello
[19:08] <BinaryFu> Mikey: Seriously...I'm a desktop guy.
[19:08] <BinaryFu> skinnymg1: hell-o
[19:09] <Mikey> BinaryFu All the internet said was difficult, complicated, impossible, unavailable lol
[19:09] <Jampiter> outblasted: or in #ubuntu-bots if you don't want to disturb people
[19:09] <BinaryFu> Mikey: Give 'er a shot.
[19:09] <vassler> What elite image design app does anyone perfer other than gimp?
[19:09] <BinaryFu> Mikey: See what happens.
[19:09] <vassler> can anyone tell me if there any other elite graphix design apps in linux/ubuntu other than gimp??  please hlp me ?
[19:09] <r3dd0> spacemonkey, look for a .sh or .bin

[19:20] <Nece228> BinaryFu: yes
[19:20] <madrazr> CartoonCat: but today I noticed that djangoproject.com doesn't open with <IP_ADDRESS>
[19:20] <Jampiter> How do I save in Vim?
[19:20] <xbxbxb> does hotplugging an USB device work even before I login? that is, does udev create block devices for it in /dev before I login with my user name?
[19:20] <nrook> :w, right?
[19:20] <BinaryFu> madrazr: Yeah, Sys-ad-net-dns would be the way to go, personally I toss a few in there myself...shouldn't be removing them though...
[19:20] <nrook> (to Jampiter)
[19:20] <CartoonCat> ../../sda and ../../sda1
[19:20] <BinaryFu> Nece228: #1 reason for really crappy slowdown on effects is improperly (or not at all) installed video drivers.
[19:21] <Jampiter> How do I get the commands box to type than in nrook?
[19:21] <lucas_> I'm trying to change my keyboard layout to Dvorak, but it won't change! The layout I want shows up in the... layout picture when I select it, but it just won't change. I'm trying to do this through keyboard preferences
[19:21] <MagicDuck> hi, why don't administrative apps like synaptic and "Login Window" pick up new gtk themes
[19:21] <nrook> Jampiter: try hitting escape first
[19:21] <Nece228> BinaryFu: im using fglrx drivers
[19:21] <Jampiter> Thanks :)
[19:21] <CartoonCat> ieee1934[idstring] before them both
[19:21] <nrook> how can I find really big, recent files?
[19:21] <madrazr> BinaryFu: how to access that?
[19:21] <madrazr> whats the command?
[19:21] <conb123> How do i enable monitor mode in ubuntu for my 802.11 network card?
[19:22] <madrazr> BinaryFu: ouch... sorry... I understood what you said now
[19:22] <IntuitiveNipple> CartoonCat: what device id's does it show though? That should tell you where the sda device is located - if it shows the IEEE1394 interface then that message must be from the disk  markers, not from the Mobo's controller
[19:22] <madrazr> BinaryFu: but that is causing this problem
[19:22] <outblasted> exit
[19:22] <CartoonCat> conb123: you need to install patched drivers in most cases
[19:22] <BinaryFu> madrazr: Very odd.
[19:22] <star> hi.. can anybody solve my problem of connecting net via bluetooth from mobile on ubuntu ?plz.....
[19:22] <CartoonCat> IntuitiveNipple: any ideas?
[19:23] <nrook> it's funny that even when my hard drive is stuffed, all of the command line programs still work
[19:23] <nrook> I'm here in irssi, googling my problem in links...
[19:23] <gamma-x> can anyone help? im trying to install a new kernel and need some direction.
[19:23] <Jampiter> Just install the package gamma-x
[19:23] <case^> nrook: reminds me of bloody gentto
[19:23] <Jampiter> You know how to use apt-get?
[19:23] <Tulimaq> star:  what is the problem ?
[19:23] <BinaryFu> Nece228: I don't use ATi myself, so I don't know what the "proper" drivers would be, but you generally have 2 options - download the drivers from the repositories or going to ATi and getting the drivers from them.
[19:23] <Jampiter> gamma-x:
[19:24] <IntuitiveNipple> CartoonCat: Inspect the file-system itself without mounting it, with a tool like testdisk, or manually using "dd if=/dev/sda1 bs=512 count=1 | hexdump -C"
[19:24] <gamma-x> Jampiter,  yes, i can install a new kernel by using apt-get? wow
[19:24] <conb123> CartoonCat: So are there sperate drivers for different model cards
[19:24] <conb123> *seperate
[19:24] <BinaryFu> Nece228: But I'd make sure the drivers are properly installed, because my bet is that's what's causing your slowdown.
[19:24] <nrook> case^: :)
[19:24] <CartoonCat> oh joy
[19:24] <tomy222> Hi, how i can watch virtual earth from microsoft under linux? there exist an alternative?
[19:24] <Jampiter> gamma-x: So what's the problem?
[19:24] <Nece228> BinaryFu: whats the difference?
[19:24] <Nece228> BinaryFu: everythink else works fine
[19:24] <Jampiter> Open street map maybe tomy222
[19:24] <gamma-x> Jampiter,  how do i find out the most currect kernel?
[19:24] <Jampiter> no images though I don't think
[19:24] <hog> Nece228, have you tried 'Envy' to install ATI drivers?
[19:24] <IntuitiveNipple> CartoonCat: try "fsck.vfat /dev/sda1"
[19:25] <xtremox> hi
[19:25] <CartoonCat> is testdisk nondestrutive? ive got a lot of data on there
[19:25] <Jampiter> gamma-x: the repos will have the most recent version AFAIK
[19:25] <Mikey> BinaryFu Thanks dude, this is gonna help big time, but it's not exactly what I want
[19:25] <case^> is there a # for conky?
[19:25] <CartoonCat> ok, is that one non destrutive?
[19:25] <Jampiter> Just search for the kernel version gamma-x #
[19:25] <xtremox> microsoft vizio alternatives?
[19:25] <Mikey> BinaryFu It will help just the same but it doesn't do Cloned Dual Displays
[19:25] <MagicDuck> This is weird. When I run "syaptic" from the command line it uses my gtk theme, but when I go "gksu synaptic" it uses the default ugly grey boxes. Can somebody explain?
[19:25] <NemesisUK> lo all
[19:25] <alecwh> Hello, is there any way to get IRC links in Firefox to open up in Pidgin? Right now, it does nothing.
[19:26] <case^> alecwh: set your default app for irc:// links
[19:26] <nrook> okay, I've got a huge-ass recent file in /lib/udev/devices called "core"
[19:26] <Mikey> BinaryFu: If this doesn't work out after a month I'll just buy an External VGA Card compatible with linux lol
[19:26] <nrook> I assume nothing bad will happen if I nuke it?
[19:26] <GoddamnDevil> MagicDuck: your themes aint in /usr/share/themes folder
[19:26] <NemesisUK> does anyone know how i can have sound in teamspeak and medal fo honor? only one of the two gets sound when run together
[19:26] <BinaryFu> Nece228: Well...the ones from ATi are the "latest" the ones in the repository are "stable". You could also try going into terminal and typing glxgears and waiting for the output to see what your FPS are. If you're using a very new card, you should be seeing 10,000 FPS+ if not, you don't have open gl working properly, which means you don't have the drivers installed properly.
[19:26] <MagicDuck> oh thank
[19:26] <MagicDuck> thanks
[19:26] <BinaryFu> Mikey: LoL. :)
[19:26] <alecwh> case^: how do I do this?
[19:26] <Jampiter> Ok, I've broken Sudo. How can I revert the sudoers file back to the original?
[19:26] <genii> NemesisUK: Maybe ask in #winehq
[19:27] <citizen42alpha> I am getting a little over a 1000 FPS on the gears.
[19:27] <case^> citizen42alpha: 29088 frames in 5.0 seconds = 5817.580 FPS
[19:27] <hog> Jampiter, ?
[19:27] <NemesisUK> i thought it has to do with sharing the device
[19:27] <case^> on a x800xl
[19:27] <jway> i installed audacious, resized the playlist according to the screen resolution 1600x1200, now I'm back on 1280x1024 and the playlist handle for resizing is not accessible, what do I do?
[19:27] <BinaryFu> NemesisUK: You could try the ALSA drivers in wine.
[19:27] <macrohard> neone tell me wher to get xorg.conf file i mistackaly delted it
[19:27] <NemesisUK> but i'll give that a go
[19:27] <CartoonCat> IntuitiveNipple: oddness, said there were no vfats. im going ot get the vista box
[19:27] <citizen42alpha> =] I am on a 7300go laptop.
[19:27] <NemesisUK> ok cheers
[19:27] <BinaryFu> NemesisUK: Because OSS generally == 1 sound capable program at a time.
[19:27] <alecwh> case^: right now, my firefox is set to use 'purple-url-handler'
[19:28] <NemesisUK> ah ok
[19:28] <alecwh> what's wrong?
[19:28] <Jampiter> hog: Synaptic's now saying I can't apply changes. I might have modified the wrong thing in sudoers
[19:28] <BinaryFu> NemesisUK: If that doesn't work, you could try the PulseAudio.
[19:28] <nrook> is a file called "core" in /lib/udev/devices a core dump?
[19:28] <NemesisUK> thanks Binaryfu
[19:28] <BinaryFu> NemesisUK: If that doesn't work, you could cry softly into your mic.
[19:28] <hog> Jampiter, you were to only uncomment one line right?
[19:28] <NemesisUK> lol
[19:28] <Jampiter> It said I should use visudo
[19:28] <Jampiter> hog
[19:29] <case^> alecwh: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Options+window?style_mode=inproduct#applications_options
[19:29] <Jampiter> I did and I don't know how to use Vim, and I think I added some more enters or something
[19:29] <Mikey> I still have a problem that I can't find how to get Ubuntu to sense my TV
[19:29] <alecwh> case^: Yeah, I'm at the options box, it's just that it doesn't work. =P
[19:29] <alecwh> it's currently set to 'purple-url-handler'
[19:29] <BinaryFu> Mikey: Your...TV?
[19:29] <Mikey> It's connected through the RGB/VGA port.....but it's not sensing it
[19:30] <case^> alecwh: hmm, not a FF user so thats about the end of my knowledge...
[19:30] <Mikey> BinaryFu: Yeah....usually works no problems...but with the Ubuntu drivers...I'm not sure
[19:30] <IntuitiveNipple> CartoonCat: Could the multi-port IEEE1394 device be causing the problem?
[19:30] <BinaryFu> Mikey: Didja try what the guy had listed for changing the xorg.conf file?
[19:30] <alecwh> case^: thanks anyway
[19:30] <r3dd0> http://paste2.org/p/77328 <-- sux :(
[19:30] <lucax> hey guys, ive installed kde on ubuntu... now kde is the default desktop for new users, i want it to be gnome... how do i restore that?
[19:30] <Mikey> BinaryFu: It's not that simple, he already has a Monitor being detected I think
[19:30] <Mikey> BinaryFu: let me check
[19:30] <BinaryFu> Mikey: You could always tell it that it's a generic monitor.
[19:31] <IntuitiveNipple> CartoonCat: Does the device have multiple disks and a controller or is it a single disk? Did the disk get formatted by a system running dmraid and/or a Promise Fastrak controller?
[19:31] <tomy222> mh, ad a website i must install a addon for virtual earth for watching the 3D! But i can' t install under linux!  what i can do?
[19:31] <cyban> Jampiter, cd to etc/ then sudo nano sudoers
[19:31] <hog> lucax, apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[19:31] <BinaryFu> Mikey: You can pretty much dictate everything in xorg.conf, including resolutions permitted, etc.
[19:31] <xbxbxb> is there a reason why USB devices are also named /dev/sdXY just as my SATA devices? what does sd stand for?
[19:31] <lucax> hog: i have that one installed already
[19:31] <alecwh> How do I get irc:// links to open up in Pidgin from Firefox? Right now, in Firefox preferences, irc links are handled by "purple-url-handler". Why doesn't it work?
[19:31] <Jampiter> It says in the file that I have to use visudo to edit it.. do I have to cyban?
[19:31] <IntuitiveNipple> xbxbxb: Yes, because the SCSI sub-system is managing them
[19:32] <Mikey> BinaryFu: let me check it out and search for my second screen
[19:32] <xbxbxb> IntuitiveNipple:  Oh okay.. and what does 'sd' mean?
[19:32] <cyban> no, su in terminal once your in the etc directory copy paste this: sudo nano sudoers
[19:32] <hal_v2> When I go to add/remove hardware I get an error message which says: This is a major failure of your software management system. Please check for broken packages with synaptic, check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information with: 'sudo apt-get update' and 'sudo apt-get install -f'.
[19:32] <IntuitiveNipple> xbxbxb: It means Scsi Disk
[19:32] <hal_v2> Add remove software*
[19:32] <saurabh> i want to make a list of all packages installed through apt-get after i installed ubuntu, how do i do that?
[19:32] <xbxbxb> IntuitiveNipple:  thanks
[19:33] <BinaryFu> hal_v2: And have you gone into the terminal and done a sudo apt-get update ?
[19:33] <CzarAlex> How can I grep the contents of every file on my entire system for the string "moobackup.sh" ?
[19:33] <hal_v2> Yes
[19:33] <BinaryFu> hal_v2: And it didn't fix anything?
[19:33] <hal_v2> Not at all. :(
[19:33] <BinaryFu> hal_v2: Hmmm....don't think it would matter, but you could try apt-get autoclean as well...see if you have broken deps floating around.
[19:34] <IntuitiveNipple> CzarAlex: grep -rn  'moobackup.sh' /*
[19:34] <IntuitiveNipple> CzarAlex: or more accurately: grep -rn  'moobackup\.sh' /*
[19:34] <BinaryFu> hal_v2: You could also try a sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and see if perhaps there were some missing packages it needed to have installed.
[19:36] <Mikey> If I plug a Screen using S-Video out into Ubuntu while it's running will it auto-detect it?
[19:36] <zathras_laptop> a while back i found the command to create a thumbnail for a movie...anyone care to refresh my memory?
[19:36] <testingpepe> hello
[19:36] <CartoonCat> IntuitiveNipple: Ok problem A) Its NTFS, i was sure i formatted FAT32 so I could use it between both OSs
[19:36] <BinaryFu> Mkey: Me == <clue
[19:36] <stefania> hi all. how to install a 3dDesktop on Ubuntu?
[19:36] <BinaryFu> stefania: Define "3D desktop"?
[19:37] <Mikey> BinaryFu: Reason I asked is cause Ubuntu is not finding my second screen
[19:37] <stefania> BinaryFu, like beryl
[19:37] <Mikey> BinaryFu: Not sure how to add it
[19:37] <CzarAlex> Thank you, IntuitiveNipple
[19:37] <Mikey> BinaryFu: Gonna have to check this out
[19:37] <stefania> do you know if Bery is stable?
[19:37] <BinaryFu> stefania: Compiz is installed already. You just need open gl drivers.
[19:37] <phantomcircuit> if i have a program that is fullscreen that goes crazy and wont give let me kill it is there something i can do other than ctrl+clt+backspace?
[19:37] <phantomcircuit> alt*
[19:37] <stefania> how to obtain that drivers?
[19:37] <BinaryFu> Mikey: Yeah, that's gone past my general knowledge and into "This is a problem for laptop users to resolve"
[19:38] <BinaryFu> stefania: What video card would you be using?
[19:38] <IntuitiveNipple> phantomcircuit: Use the magix sys-request to kill all processes on that terminal: Ctrl+Alt+SysRq+K
[19:38] <stefania> I dont know... hw to see?
[19:38] <Mikey> BinaryFu: heh....well your help is greatly appreciated just the same mate :P
[19:38] <phantomcircuit> SysRq ?
[19:38] <danopia> hi
[19:38] <IntuitiveNipple> phantomcircuit: Yes
[19:38] <phantomcircuit> oh i see it now
[19:38] <phantomcircuit> lets see if this works
[19:39] <CzarAlex> IntuitiveNipple, hmm didn't find what I was looking for. I started a cron job over a year ago and i'm not sure where to find it. I'm migrating to a new system and would like to carry that task over. the script that is run is moobackup.sh . I can't find it listed in crontab or cron.weekly (as it runs every friday). Anywhere else I can search?
[19:39] <BinaryFu> Mikey: Very welcome. :)
[19:39] <stefania> I've an NVidia card
[19:39] <IntuitiveNipple> CzarAlex: check in /etc/anacrontab
[19:39] <BinaryFu> stefania: I would go to System - Administration - Hardware Drivers
[19:39] <stefania> 512 mb ram
[19:39] <ianliu_88> What is the best way to develop an application which plots animated graphics on Ubuntu? Any directions? Cairo seems to be REALLY slow on Ubuntu...
[19:40] <stefania> I've installed driver for invidia
[19:40] <BinaryFu> stefania: And see if your NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver is enabled.
[19:40] <phantomcircuit> IntuitiveNipple, yeah that is what i was trying to avoid
[19:40] <IntuitiveNipple> CzarAlex: also, check in /etc/cron.weekly
[19:40] <stefania> yes is enabled
[19:40] <phantomcircuit> i just wanted to kill one program not kill all of them
[19:40] <IntuitiveNipple> phantomcircuit: Well, I did say that kills all processes on the console!
[19:40] <phantomcircuit> a program that paused all the other ones that let you kill them would be very useful
[19:40] <BinaryFu> stefania: Okay...so...you have gutsy gibbon for your OS right now?
[19:40] <kelder> stefania: do you have system > preferences > advanced desktop effects settings
[19:40] <phantomcircuit> IntuitiveNipple, :P
[19:41] <stefania> I've latest Ubuntu vrsion.
[19:41] <CzarAlex> IntuitiveNipple, not in either. Would it matter if I was running ubuntu 5.10?
[19:41] <BinaryFu> stefania: System - Preferences - appearance
[19:41] <CartoonCat> IntuitiveNipple: any ideas about this magic HD that somehow things its part ofa raid setup?
[19:41] <BinaryFu> stefania: Click on the "Visual Effects" tab.
[19:41] <jryan78> I have a folder setup for people to FTP to and when a file is put into that folder I want a email notification sent to me that a file is there.  Is there a program that will do that for me?
[19:41] <stefania> I've'extra selected
[19:42] <stefania> but how to 'rotate' desktop like a 3d effects?
[19:42] <BinaryFu> stefania: Click on "normal" for the typical effects...or Extra for the fancy stuff.......or you can download the advanced settings manager that allows you to customize all your effects.
[19:42] <kelder> stefania: do you have system > preferences > advanced desktop effects settings .. there should be a cube effect you can turn on
[19:42] <IntuitiveNipple> CzarAlex: it might mean some things are in a different location... how about trying this:
[19:42] <kelder> stefania: if you do not have that option in preferences...    sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:42] <BinaryFu> stefania: Well, when you close a window, does it do a little fancy thing, or does it just disappear? If it does a little fancy thing, you have 3d effects on.
[19:42] <fignuts> which package installs the nvidia utility?
[19:42] <Mikey> BE back later..gonna have to re-format Ubuntu lol
[19:43] <stefania> thank you
[19:43] <jryan78> I have a folder setup for people to FTP to and when a file is put into that folder I want a email notification sent to me that a file is there.  Is there a program that will do that for me?
[19:43] <IntuitiveNipple> CzarAlex: sudo find / -type f -iname 'moo*'
[19:43] <BinaryFu> stefania: And if that's not what you want, then you just need to tinker with the options to get the effect you're looking for.
[19:43] <hog> fignuts, nvidia-settings?
[19:43] <fignuts> got it, nvidia-xconfig
[19:44] <stefania> BinaryFu, than you very much
[19:44] <IntuitiveNipple> CartoonCat: If it is supposed to be NTFS, check it with ntfsinfo /dev/sda1
