[20:05] <fulhack> hey guys. I have a question. Just for fun-.. My laptop has a LED on the "mute" key for the audio. The key itself works great, but the LED does not. How would I go about lighting it?
[20:05] <tc111> amenado: if i decide to start over that was exactly my plan, just encrypt /home and swap, security is a necessity for me and i don't store sensitive data on either /boot or /
[20:05] <linuksnub> hey guys
[20:05] <katswaio> anyone ? :)
[20:05] <OB1FoShoB> minhaaj: it basically craps out telling me it won't install the other packages
[20:05] <linuksnub> I was wondering if anyone had any experience with the newer nVidia drivers?
[20:06] <StevenX> Fryguy--, it says direct rendering yes
[20:06] <tc111> amenado: it just really bugs me that my other notebook worked fine and this one isn't following the rules... ;)
[20:06] <minhaaj> what is the exact error ?
[20:06] <StevenX> i install xgl will restart
[20:06] <lupo632a> ciao
[20:06] <lupo632a> !list
[20:06] <amenado> tc111 good luck my friend
[20:06] <lanuser> linuksnub I do, I install the binary from nVidia myself
[20:07] <tc111> amenado: thank you for your thoughts and suggestions... i'll keep looking and if i find the problem, i'll let you all know what happened
[20:07] <drixomanbeta> i got a blank 320GB disk and i want to dual boot ubuntu with xp...
[20:08] <drixomanbeta> any guideline....
[20:08] <linuksnub> lanuser: i just installed the beta drivers for the new 9 series cards, and it went off without a hitch... however when i reboot, the driver seems to be missing or something like that... i'm at my wits end on this.
[20:08] <amenado> tc111 okay, perhaps you can paste your finding in ubuntu wikis so your experience with encryption would shield some light on others wanting todo the same..
[20:08] <gonzzor1> I'm trying to raise the volume in GXine, but the command ao_volume.v += 5; doesn't raise it, it just sets it to 5, any clues?
[20:09] <minhaaj> !backup
[20:09] <OB1FoShoB> minhaaj: The following packages have unmet dependencies: freevo: Depends: python-freevo (= <IP_ADDRESS>-1) but it is not going to be installed

[20:09] <OB1FoShoB> E: Broken packages
[20:09] <drixomanbeta> i need some guidelines on dual booting a blank 320GB disk using ubuntu and xp...
[20:09] <tc111> amenado: will do... recommend a specific part of the wiki or just focus anywhere on encrypted LVMs?
[20:10] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: install windows, then install ubuntu, ubuntu takes care of the dual boot automatically
[20:10] <minhaaj> great, go to synaptic and fix broken packages
[20:10] <minhaaj> and tell me the error
[20:10] <drixomanbeta> i tried that but windows is unmountable afterwards....
[20:10] <minhaaj> Edit > fix borken packages
[20:11] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: then you did the ubunut install incorrectly, pay attention to the options when you are installing grub
[20:11] <linuksnub> drixomanbeta: just install XP first... if GRUB doesn't install its self as the MBR then windows will take care of it.
[20:11] <OB1FoShoB> minhaaj: when i do that it just acts like nothing happens
[20:11] <minhaaj> werid
[20:11] <minhaaj> weird
[20:11] <minhaaj> did you google the problem ?
[20:11] <OB1FoShoB> of course
[20:11] <drixomanbeta> will the windows boot loader detect the ubuntu system/
[20:11] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: no
[20:12] <StevenX> Fryguy--, is there a configuration tool for compiz-fusion on kde? I can't find it. Like on GNOME there is a configuration tool.
[20:12] <nando> hello... where can i get automatix?
[20:12] <OB1FoShoB> minhaaj: i even posted on freevo's forum over a wk ago, no reply
[20:12] <Fryguy--> StevenX: install compizconfig-settings-manager
[20:12] <Fryguy--> nando: don't use automatix, it is very deprecated
[20:12] <drixomanbeta> i am confused...
[20:12] <Fryguy--> !automatix | nando
[20:12] <nando> sooo what should i use?
[20:12] <rubydiam_> Anddos: is hacker
[20:12] <ankhi> Fryguy--, are you even human? You're firing out answers by the second :P
[20:12] <drixomanbeta> i have xp installed on a 80gb drive i created during its setup...
[20:13] <jujub> amenado : I have returned.
[20:13] <rubydiam_> he sent me a link as PM
[20:13] <Fryguy--> ankhi: i don't really know anything
[20:13] <minhaaj> thats strange
[20:13] <minhaaj> i had this problem with java jre
[20:13] <StevenX> Fryguy--, I have, but I cannot find it.
[20:13] <minhaaj> i removed the package manually and reinstalled it and it worked
[20:13] <drixomanbeta> what do I do then?
[20:13] <rubydiam_> ("41 Anddos: http://sturly.com/ mygirlfriend . jpg") was sent to me by Anddos
[20:13] <ankhi> Fryguy--, ha! Do you happen to not know anything about IceCat/Gnash too? :)
[20:13] <jujub> I was giving some thought to teh drivers for my wifi. If they were going bad, then when I booted from Live cd, would that not work fine?
[20:13] <minhaaj> how about installing each package individually ?
[20:13] <Fryguy--> StevenX: /usr/bin/compizconfig-settings-manager probably.  use dpkg -L to find out what files the package installed
[20:13] <rubydiam_> please kick him out
[20:14] <Fryguy--> ankhi: no
[20:14] <StevenX> Fryguy--, when i try to turn "sudo compiz-config-settings-manager" it says command not found.
[20:14] <minhaaj> sudo apt-get install  python-kaa-metadata
[20:14] <Fryguy--> StevenX: no first dash probably
[20:14] <rubydiam_> Anddos: yt?
[20:14] <drixomanbeta> i got tons of room for more partirtioning for installing ubuntu..
[20:14] <walla1> can anyone tell me when i "GStreamer resource error: OpenWrite" in my terminal when i try and play an mp3 in banshee, i have gstreamer good,bad,ugly
[20:14] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: install windows, then install ubuntu, and pay attention to what it tells you when it gets to the end part for installing grub
[20:15] <OB1FoShoB> minhaaj: i don't know what to do, i really don't want to reload
[20:15] <StevenX> Fryguy--, I tried it w/o the first days, i.e., compizconfig-settings-manager, still cannot be found. It is very bad that compiz is so easy to start on GNOME but hard on KDE.
[20:15] <minhaaj> did you try what i told you ?
[20:15] <minhaaj> sudo apt-get install  python-kaa-metadata
[20:15] <Fryguy--> StevenX: it's for gnome, not kde
[20:15] <linuksnub> after installing the nvidia beta drivers for the new 9 series cards, it works fine the first time that i start the GDM, however when i reboot it reverts back to low-graphics mode... any ideas on this?
[20:15] <jujub> ikonia : mind continuting to assist me with wifi?
[20:15] <Fryguy--> StevenX: like i said, use dpkg -L to see what files it installed
[20:15] <JoshuaRL> who is an admin in here?
[20:15] <Fryguy--> linuksnub: you installing beta drivers that aren't supported = you are on your own
[20:15] <StevenX> Fryguy--, compiz-fusion is for GNOME? Maybe I should switch back to it then. I like the things compiz can do.
[20:15] <OB1FoShoB>   python-freevo: Depends: python-kaa-imlib2 (>= 0.2.2) but it is not going to be installed
[20:15] <OB1FoShoB>                  Depends: python-kaa-metadata (>= 0.7.1) but it is not going to be installed
[20:15] <OB1FoShoB> E: Broken packages
[20:16] <Fryguy--> JoshuaRL: #ubuntu-ops
[20:16] <Amaranth> This IRC client sucks for channel management but that should do for now
[20:16] <minhaaj> paste it in google and search
[20:16] <drixomanbeta> so what do I do when its asking me to install grub?
[20:16] <OB1FoShoB> i have
[20:16] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: install it to /dev/sda (or whatever letter you ahve)
[20:17] <Kunin> Need a little help undoing something.. I broke my sound
[20:17] <Fryguy--> !ask | Kunin
[20:17] <lanuser> linuksnub you sure your booting to the same kernel you installed the driver for?
[20:18] <Kunin> I followed: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EeePC/Fixes#head-e0a73989f4da231d3f1b623f795ffc86e0d6a192  to try and fix the mic... not only did it break the mic but broke all sound
[20:18] <nando> how do i install a RPM package?
[20:18] <Kunin> how do I undo whatever the sudo m-a update... stuff did?
[20:18] <minhaaj> well it worked for me OB i manually uninstalled and reinstalled
[20:18] <Fryguy--> nando: if you insist on installing an rpm, use alien to convert it to a .deb first, but what you are doing is almost certainly wrong.  what specifically are you trying to do
[20:19] <JoshuaRL> PriceChild: hey dude
[20:19] <drixomanbeta> i already tried to dual-boot several time and nothing seems to work out,....
[20:19] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: how many hard drives do you have
[20:19] <drixomanbeta> ubuntu is just messing up my windows....
[20:19] <drixomanbeta> one 320GB...
[20:19] <dr_Willis> a second hard drive makes life so much easier
[20:19] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: so when you boot, you get a menu to boot ubuntu or windows right?
[20:19] <levander> What's the command to get the status of your wifi card?  It's similar to ifconfig...
[20:19] <minhaaj> hey drwillis
[20:19] <minhaaj> :)
[20:19] <dr_Willis> of course ive rarely had issues dual booting with 1 hd.
[20:19] <Fryguy--> dr_Willis: i'd argue it's harder
[20:19] <drixomanbeta> totally blank as i wiped it several time already in my dual booting attempt....
[20:20] <dr_Willis> Fryguy--,  id argue that you are.. well.. :) i wont be mean.... :)
[20:20] <drixomanbeta> yeah....
[20:20] <enigmata> What is wrong here? http://pastebin.ca/1063166
[20:20] <drixomanbeta> that was before i wiped it..
[20:20] <dr_Willis> Fryguy--,  with the new pc's i got i can hit F8 and pick  what hd to boot. makes it even easier. No grub on the windows hd at all.
[20:20] <drixomanbeta> now my disk is clean...
[20:20] <Fryguy--> dr_Willis: 2 hard drives = 2 installs of grub and swapping bios settings to boot from drive to drive, or a grub that has a cross drive dependency
[20:20] <drixomanbeta> i know to i got to install xp first...
[20:21] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: can you answer my question/
[20:21] <drixomanbeta> assuming i done that...what nexrt...
[20:21] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: when you boot, you get the menu, then what
[20:21] <dr_Willis> Fryguy--,  totally wrong..  I install grub to one hard drive.  and it depends on the bios.
[20:21] <Fryguy--> dr_Willis: and the other hard drive
[20:21] <dr_Willis> Fryguy--,  but these are only on newer machines. :)
[20:21] <drixomanbeta> i tried to go i xp and it tell me unmountable erroe...
[20:21] <Kunin> never mind... I figured it out, thanks anyway... that was scary
[20:21] <icarus> is NFS native to linux as much as SMB is native to Win XP?
[20:21] <Fryguy--> icarus: yes
[20:22] <Reivec> if I install and activate dmraid on a live CD, but get no devices in /dev/mapper, what can I do there? I have done this before on other systems and it seems to work, but on this one has little effect
[20:22] <drixomanbeta> but now i want to start over from beginning so i'm wiping the disk.....
[20:22] <newt^^> Can i run games such as wow thru wine? or do i have to get cedega?
[20:22] <icarus> anyone know of a better linux-to-linux protocol besides NFS? or is NFS easy&competent?
[20:22] <Kunin> new question... I've got things basically how I want them... how can I make a recovery USB drive(it's an eee) incase I screw things up again?
[20:22] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=509160
[20:22] <dr_Willis> icarus,  nfs is fairly easy to get going and has been in use for years.
[20:23] <kitche> newt^^: yes wow runs on wine
[20:23] <enigmata> What is wrong here? http://pastebin.ca/1063166
[20:23] <Reivec> newt^^, I believe you can. I have seen several howtos on how to run wow in linux using wine, cedega, or crossover
[20:23] <Fryguy--> icarus: nfs is by far the best lan solution for *nix file transfers
[20:23] <dr_Willis> icarus,  for just doing a few transfers, ssh/scp/sshfs is also handy. but a bit slower.
[20:23] <mariachiac> When installing Ubuntu, after choosing english, pressing install ubuntu, ubuntu logo shows, then screen goes black. What shal I do?
[20:24] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: use safe graphics mode option
[20:24] <icarus> so I can have a nfs daemon and a samba daemon manage the same share (so samba for the win machines and nfs for the nix machines)
[20:24] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: or the alternate cd
[20:24] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: or try noacpi flag
[20:24] <mariachiac> Ok, I'll try that now.
[20:24] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: or use the server install cd and install ubuntu-desktop from apt after getting the base system up and running
[20:24] <minhaaj> corrupt boot cd mariachiac
[20:24] <Fryguy--> icarus: yes
[20:24] <drixomanbeta> assuming i installed xp....the xp setup only detect about 120GB, i don't know why....
[20:24] <dr_Willis> mariachiac,  often the Language dialog pops up so fast.. you dont notice the menu befor it.  hit 'escape' to check out the other options  also.
[20:24] <rsavela> I'm having trouble installing 8.04 on an Asus A8N-Premium - the pata hard disk is not seen by ubuntu.  Passing "insmod=amd74xx" on boot doesn't help either.  Any ideas?  (currently works with Suse 10.3 w/amd74xx on the initrd)
[20:25] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: need to have at least service pack 1, and that is the cause  of your problem btw
[20:25] <icarus> Fryguy--: awesome! because I am having a bad bad time getting ubuntu to correctly mount a smb share
[20:25] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: and it's probably 137gb
[20:25] <icarus> NFS for the win I guess!
[20:25] <drixomanbeta> smth like that...
[20:25] <drixomanbeta> is missing sp1 the reason?
[20:25] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: yes
[20:26] <michele> ciao a tutti
[20:26] <michele> !list
[20:26] <drixomanbeta> so if i install sp1 first i wouln't get the unmountable BSOD after i install ubuntu right?
[20:26] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: you shouldn't
[20:26] <available> asassss
[20:27] <enigmata> Need help setting up network with Samba.
[20:27] <Fryguy--> !samba | enigmata
[20:27] <enigmata> Need help setting up network with Samba. I can't login
[20:27] <mariachiac> How do I get to the s creen to use safe graphics installation?
[20:27] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: press f4
[20:27] <franck> d
[20:27] <enigmata> Fryguy: tried it. Still can't login.
[20:28] <Fryguy--> enigmata: then you don't have your share set up correctly.  make sure you are logging into the correct workgroup or domain
[20:28] <enigmata> Fryguy: it's a Ubuntu/Vista network
[20:28] <drixomanbeta> what'sp1 got to do w/ this unmountable eooro?
[20:28] <drixomanbeta> error?
[20:28] <Fryguy--> enigmata: and turn off ntlm v2 in vista
[20:28] <enos> while trying to install VMware i got the following question:
[20:28] <enos> What is the location of the directory of C header files that match your running
[20:28] <enos> kernel? [/lib/modules/2.6.24-19-generic/build/include]
[20:28] <enigmata> Fryguy: did that through the registry.
[20:29] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: windows xp prior to service pack 1 couldn't detect drives larger than 137gb properly, and so after you install ubuntu and change information on the drive, windows gets confused
[20:29] <idorock89> hey people I just installed avant window navigator. it works ok.
[20:29] <enos> anyone know how I can confirm that the directory listed is correct?
[20:29] <N[]vA> Greetings

[20:29] <idorock89> ?
[20:29] <idorock89> PLEASE HELP
[20:29] <[fields]> bamboo = wacom
[20:29] <Fryguy--> idorock89: some people think it looks better. it's a matter of personal preference
[20:30] <Hilikus> where does the system get the list of things to load that you seen at he beginning the XXX ...... [OK] things?
[20:30] <enigmata> Fryguy: I have Vista home premium. There is no policy editor.
[20:30] <N[]vA> any one had any luck getting a Texas Instruments PCI1620 PC Card Controller (rev 01) card reader working on 8.04?

[20:30] <idorock89> well I have seen the dock of mac and it feels more functional
[20:30] <Hilikus> thanks Fryguy--
[20:30] <idorock89> is awn as functional as that

[20:31] <enos> where the heck does ubuntu install the C headers?
[20:31] <enos> matching the running kernel
[20:31] <Fryguy--> enigmata: did you install the kernel headers package
[20:31] <kitche> enos: most likely under /usr/src
[20:32] <Lynet> enos: /usr/src/linux-headers-xxxxx, if you installed the kernel headers package.
[20:32] <tannji> Can anyone help me configure Pulse Audio in 8.04?
[20:32] <N[]vA> any one had any luck getting a Texas Instruments PCI1620 PC Card Controller (rev 01) card reader working on 8.04?

[20:33] <Reivec> anyone had any issues with dmraid and nforce 650i chipset?
[20:33] <Fryguy--> tannji: so then ask a more specific question
[20:33] <enigmata> Fryguy: kernel headers package?
[20:33] <Fryguy--> enigmata: yes
[20:33] <enigmata> Fryguy: BTW, here is the registry change made: http://www.vistax64.com/vista-security/100683-lan-manager-security-setting-vista-home-premium.html
[20:33] <tannji> Morb, No Audio at all...  followed the read-me... get working meters while playing DVD, but no output to phones or speakers
[20:34] <idorock89> which is the best program for doing some java programming?
[20:34] <enigmata> Fryguy: Where do I find the kernel headers package?
[20:34] <Heinstein> #blender-pt
[20:34] <Fryguy--> idorock89: i like using vim, also check out emacs, or eclipse

[20:35] <idorock89> ok thanks people
[20:35] <idorock89> you have all really helped me a lot
[20:35] <enigmata> Fryguy: Can't find much for "'kernel headers package' Ubuntu" on google.
[20:36] <Fryguy--> enigmata: first google result for me: http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-kernel-headers
[20:36] <tannji> Crim:  no result,  let me open my meter
[20:36] <crimsun> enigmata: linux-headers-$(uname -r)  is the package you need
[20:37] <crimsun> tannji: does the command appear to hang, or does it complete after 10 seconds?
[20:37] <tannji> crim:  "bash: command substitution: line 2: syntax error: unexpected end of file

[20:37] <jh5386> can anyone out there  help me with mounting hdd?
[20:38] <tannji> I entered it twice, causing the syntax error, I believe
[20:38] <crimsun> tannji: you need to copy and paste the precise command, but omit the ` and the '
[20:38] <tannji> crim: kk
[20:38] <Fryguy--> jh5386: mount /dev/devicenamehere /mnt/locationhere

[20:38] <enigmata> How do I retreive my password in /usr/bin/passwd
[20:38] <enigmata> I accidently changed it.
[20:39] <Fryguy--> enigmata: /usr/bin/passwd is an executable, your password is stored in /etc/shadow
[20:39] <Fryguy--> enigmata: use the passwd command to change it
[20:39] <enigmata> Fryguy: tried that... 3 tries.
[20:39] <enos> Why does EVERYTHING always works on Ubuntu! I love it!
[20:39] <tannji> Crim:  It plays the sound, according to my meter, but I can not hear it
[20:39] <Fryguy--> enigmata: and?
[20:39] <keshavkhera> enos, i love it too :D
[20:40] <dr_Willis> enigmata,  its not in /usr/bin/password thats the binary file to change the password. passwords are saved in /etc/shadow . and its not very easy to 'recover' a lost password. You can change the password without knowing the old one, using various methods
[20:40] <Hilikus> Lynet how do i remove something so that it dosent start? should i just delete the file from /etc/rc6.d?
[20:40] <geek_inn2> enos thankgod when everything works i had troubles most of the time.
[20:40] <geek_inn2> keshav...indian?
[20:40] <krim> Is there a way to install for example the latest version of Wine via aptitude?
[20:40] <dr_Willis> krim,  theres a unoffical repo that has the latest wine.
[20:40]  * enos remembers the old redhat 5.2 days = everything almost never worked
[20:40] <dr_Willis> check the !wine factoid
[20:41] <Fryguy--> krim: ubuntu upgrades software for you automatically, if you want to check manually, sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade
[20:41] <dr_Willis> !wine | krim
[20:41] <enigmata> Fryguy and DrWillis: http://pastebin.ca/1063184
[20:41] <jh5386> fryguy: failed to mount because ntfs is marked to be in use
[20:41] <Fryguy--> krim: if you are looking for a version outside of ubuntu repositories, check out getdeb.net, keep in mind this will probably cause undesirable behavior

[20:41] <WattoDaToydarian> Hey does anyone know how to configure ubuntu 8.04 to automatically mount a cd/dvd on insert to a specific dir?
[20:42] <Fryguy--> jh5386: type df, is it already mounted somewhere
[20:42] <tannji> crimsun:  the sound file p[layed, spiking  my audio meters, but no sound over phones or speakers
[20:42] <morbyt1> how to talk to my smartcard which is connected in a pscsd compatible usb-terminal?
[20:42] <Fryguy--> WattoDaToydarian: it gets mounted in /media automatically
[20:42] <dr_Willis> enigmata,  You will need to boot to rescue mode/recovery mode and set a new password for the user with 'passwd username'
[20:42] <krim> dr_Willis, Fryguy--: ah not recommended. thanks
[20:42] <Hilikus> Lynet so just rm the file?
[20:42] <Lynet> Hilikus: Or you can use System - Administration - Services if you prefer to do it in a gui.
[20:42] <crimsun> tannji: pastebin the output from `amixer -c0', please.
[20:42] <homeofpoe> Will the libapache2-mod-ifier package for gutsy work under my Hardy installation?
[20:42] <dr_Willis> krim,  if you want the latest.. well thats the risks.. (not very big risk) but its all up to you.
[20:42] <Lynet> Hilikus: Yeah. It is just a link to the real script in init.d.
[20:42] <jh5386> fryguy: it was in a windows pc and i want to put it on ubuntu and keep the data
[20:42] <moped> @find ubuntubooks
[20:43] <Vinchenzo28> whats the best boot manager?
[20:43] <Fryguy--> Vinchenzo28: grub

[20:43] <RenatoSilva>  "/home/renato/martian/kmodule/martian.c:659: erro: ‘SA_INTERRUPT’ undeclared (first use in this function)"
[20:43] <Vinchenzo28> Fryguy--: how can i config it
[20:43] <RenatoSilva> what is this error?
[20:43] <MidClassGuy28> i have linux-restricted-modules installed almost every other week there is a update to it i want to remove it. is this safe to remove it?
[20:43] <Lynet> Vinchenzo28: Depends a bit on what your exact requirements are. For most uses, grub is considered the best one.
[20:43] <enigmata> Dr_willis: I got into e/tc/shadow under su. I see my username followed by a bunch of random characters???
[20:43] <tannji> :crim, I copied it, how do I use pastebin?
[20:43] <Fryguy--> Vinchenzo28: plenty of resources on the first page of this google result: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=ubuntu+grub&btnG=Search

[20:44] <WattoDaToydarian> Fryguy--, Does gnome mount it? I am running mythbuntu using the frontend profile and it doesn't use gnome
[20:44] <Fryguy--> WattoDaToydarian: this is #ubuntu, not #mythbuntu, sorry
[20:44] <lukehasnoname> Is there any sort of official changelog for the 8.04.1 release?
[20:44] <dr_Willis> enigmata,  in theory you could 'delete' the password, and the user would be able to login without entering a password.. but if you have rights to edit that file.. you shoudl also have rights to run 'sudo passwd username' and change the password  correctly.
[20:44] <tannji> crim:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/25255/
[20:45] <Fryguy--> enigmata: if you are su, just type "passwd <username>" to set a new passwd for that user
[20:45] <WattoDaToydarian> Fryguy-- oops I'm sorry about that...

[20:46] <jh5386> fryguy: what about this: mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sbd1/media/drv2_vol1 -o force , will that keep the data?
[20:46] <Fryguy--> jh5386: probably not, i asked you a while ago to type df and see if it's already mounted
[20:46] <Hilikus> Lynet not all of them are in the gui. rc2 is the bootup mode right?
[20:46] <tannji> crims
[20:46] <enigmata> Fryguy: That did it.
[20:46] <tannji> hmm
[20:46] <crimsun> tannji: your paste is cut off at the top.  Can you redirect the output to a text file, then pastebin its contents?
[20:47] <RenatoSilva> I'm trying to compile a modem driver source code on Hardy. It gives me an error. What's the ebst place to search for help?
[20:47] <rsavela> Any ideas as to how I can make and IDE disk visible to Ubuntu on an nForce 4 chipset?  (amd74xx?)  cdrom does work.
[20:47] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: google
[20:47] <Fryguy--> rsavela: is the disk visible in bios
[20:48] <Lynet> Hilikus: Depends on what part of the boot you are talking about. Most deamons, networking etc is started from rc2.d. And then there is the very early kernel stuff, most of which is handled by the initial ramdisk loaded by the kernel.
[20:48] <rsavela> yes, works with Suse 10.3 - 2.6.22 kernel with amd74xx driver
[20:48] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: except google. that's obvious ;)
[20:49] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: google is a search engine, you are searching for help, i am confused
[20:49] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: irc channels if you need it very well explained
[20:49] <rsavela> I had to put the amd74xx first in the initrd though.
[20:49] <tannji> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25257/
[20:49] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: this one would work i guess, or #linux, or grab a list of channels using /list and pick one
[20:49] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: i don't memorize an index of every irc channel in existence, sorry
[20:49] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: ok

[20:50] <GreenDelta> Hey, can someone help me with gedit? i write some php data and wondered if they are UTF-8 or iso? is it possible to get the encoding of a text file in ubuntu?? i did not find anything in "Properties"
[20:50] <Hilikus> Lynet well my problem is that it seems a have a repeated entry to start lirc. ath the end of the XX..... [OK] phase ttheres one for lirc: starting remote control ..... [failed]
[20:50] <RenatoSilva> does anyone known martian modem driver?
[20:50] <RenatoSilva> I'm in trouble with it
[20:50] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: just paste the error
[20:50] <Fryguy--> !pastebin | RenatoSilva
[20:50] <joaopinto> GreenDelta, it shoudl match your system locale.. UTF-8
[20:50] <joaopinto> Great_Briton, on the "Save as" dialog, the encoding is displayed
[20:51] <joaopinto> ops, meant GreenDelta
[20:51] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25258/ (some msgs are portuguese)
[20:51] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: erro = error
[20:51] <rsavela> GreenDelta - try the "file" command
[20:52] <GreenDelta> ok then i does not understand the following: I have a meta tag in my html saying the file is UTF 8-Encoded. Most Special chars are working ü and so on, but in some other areas (but same chars) i get sth. like that: 1  2

[20:52] <GreenDelta> sth. like that �
[20:52] <Lynet> Hilikus: Sounds more like an error in the lirc script. Which you should find in /etc/init.d. What happens if you run it manually?

[20:54] <Fryguy--> well, friday
[20:54] <Lynet> Hilikus: If it works fine manually but not a boot time, then my first guess is that it is run too early. That is, before some driver or service it needs is started.

[20:57] <ali_sh_ali> thanks for this good help for us
[20:57] <Fryguy--> enigmata: then your workgroups are probably messed up
[20:57] <lukehasnoname> !piracy > lukehasnoname
[20:57] <enigmata> Fryguy: what's the simplest way to correct that?
[20:57] <Fryguy--> enigmata: change workgroups so they match
[20:57] <vaportrailnew123> whats a good p2p to use
[20:57] <crimsun> tannji: interesting, thanks!  how about:  pasuspender -- aplay -Dplughw:0 /usr/share/sounds/*up.wav
[20:57] <Fryguy--> vaportrailnew123: i like rtorrent
[20:58] <vaportrailnew123> how bout one like limewire
[20:58] <Fryguy--> pretty sure that's available for linux
[20:58] <enigmata> Fryguy: I forgot to mention that I can ping the ubuntu machine from Vista, but the Ubuntu machine won't ping the Vista machine.
[20:58] <Fryguy--> enigmata: both on same subnet?
[20:58] <vaportrailnew123> well, i personally dont like limewire specificly due to adwares
[20:58] <Fryguy--> enigmata: firewall?
[20:59] <tannji> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25259/
[20:59] <enigmata> Fryguy: Vista has been demilitarized and neutered.
[20:59] <vaportrailnew123> rofl;
[20:59] <Fryguy--> vaportrailnew123: all of the non-torrent p2ps have that
[20:59] <Fryguy--> enigmata: so.. same subnet or no?
[20:59] <enigmata> Fryguy: how do I check the subnet in Ubuntu?
[20:59] <Fryguy--> ifconfig
[20:59] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: this articvle doesn't cover hardy

[21:01] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: you'll need to use the alternate cd to install
[21:01] <tannji> crimsun, did it again, returned same string
[21:02] <WiltonStone> I have a quick question, i have downloaded the alternate cd twice already and it keeps coming up with the exact same "
[21:02] <Fryguy--> enigmata: then figure  out what firewall you have on vista that is preventing you from pinging, as that is probably the cause of your other networking problem
[21:02] <WiltonStone> incorrect hash"
[21:02] <mariachiac> Does that mean installation by text?
[21:02] <Bulzor> can anyone name a good extraction program for ubuntu?
[21:02] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: yes
[21:02] <crimsun> tannji: I'm not really interested in what string it returns.  I'm asking whether you can /hear/ the sound.
[21:02] <Fryguy--> Bulzor: for what format
[21:02] <Bulzor> r00
[21:02] <Fryguy--> Bulzor: unrar
[21:02] <joaopinto> !rar | Bulzor
[21:02] <Fryguy--> Bulzor: might be unrar-nonfree or something
[21:02] <tannji> crimsun:  sorry!   no, I can not hear the sound
[21:02] <WiltonStone> if i got the same incorrect hash twice, what is the possibility that it is actually ok to use
[21:03] <Bulzor> ok thx alot boys :P
[21:03] <crimsun> tannji: thanks.  Is this post-resume (from suspend-to-*)?
[21:03] <Fryguy--> WiltonStone: 0
[21:03] <vaportrailnew123> ok, ill look at frostwire
[21:03] <WiltonStone> where can i get a good copy from?
[21:03] <joaopinto> WiltonStone, are you referring to the md5 sum hash ?
[21:03] <WiltonStone> yes
[21:03] <Fryguy--> WiltonStone: make sure you are using the right hash, a new version of 8.04.1 came out recently
[21:03] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: that article doesn't work
[21:03] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: no idea then sorry
[21:03] <WiltonStone> yeah, i downloaded that twice last night
[21:03] <joaopinto> WiltonStone, not it is not.. the hash must match the one provided on a main mirror
[21:03] <Freenod1> hi always
[21:04] <tannji> crimsun:  lost me there.  are you asking if my box went to sleep, and then was un-suspended?
[21:04] <WiltonStone> maybe they just havent updated the new hash for 8.04.1
[21:04] <RenatoSilva> does anyone have tried martian modem on hardy?
[21:04] <crimsun> tannji: correct.
[21:04] <Freenod1> where is the java plugin for Konqueror 3.5.9. Thanks
[21:04] <tannji> crimsun... it has not suspended during our session
[21:04] <joaopinto> Freenod1, probably you should ask on #kubuntu
[21:04] <WiltonStone> where can i find the 8.04.1 hash? i cant seem to find it
[21:04] <crimsun> tannji: no, I mean before we began troubleshooting.
[21:05] <drixomanbeta> i keep on getting unmountable drive when i load xp in grub...
[21:05] <Freenod1> ok thanks
[21:05] <Freenod1> how can I change my nickname

[21:05] <tannji> crimsun, it may have, but I am not sure...  what can I do to check or refresh that state?
[21:05] <Novus> does anyone have any idea how I can redirect the data from saidar to a file?
[21:05] <crimsun> tannji: ok, can you reproduce the symptom after a fresh (re)boot?
[21:05] <boogieman> anyone knows how to troubleshoot uTorrent w/wine ?
[21:06] <tannji> crimsun... yes, it has never worked... so it reproduces at any point
[21:06] <Fryguy--> boogieman: you find an error, you google the error (or ask somebody), and work from there.  or you just use one of the many torrent clients available native to linux
[21:06] <boogieman> i just want to associate .torrents with uTorrent in Firefox.. but when i try to select the program i cant
[21:06] <tannji> crimsun, the only sound event I have heard is system beeps
[21:06] <numen> hello, any tips for getting gnome-menus application menu back? currently it shows just small white box, tried to reinstall it, didn't work and also if i use another username menu is showing
[21:06] <boogieman> Fryguy: i already done that
[21:06] <boogieman> thats why im hjere
[21:06] <RenatoSilva> I've run a make all that didn't work then a make install. Did this affect my system?
[21:07] <dr_Willis> boogieman,  check the forums - theres a trick or to - needed to be doen to do that..  i looked it up once ages ago.
[21:07] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: no
[21:07] <boogieman> ok thnx
[21:07] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: thanks
[21:07] <Fryguy--> boogieman: what did you do in firefox
[21:07] <fritzophrenic> hey, I'm running an installer for a game on multiple CDs...how do I take out the first CD to put in the next? Ubuntu won't let me eject it with the hardware button, and it tells me an application is preventing me from unmounting when I try doing it from Ubuntu
[21:07] <dr_Willis> boogieman,  i recall some script that did it.
[21:07] <crimsun> tannji: please download http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh, save it to your Desktop, and run it using `bash ~/Desktop/alsa-info.sh'
[21:07] <WiltonStone> i found the new hashes, it can be found here: http://releases.ubuntu.com/8.04.1/MD5SUMS
[21:07] <tannji> crimsun:  will do
[21:07] <WiltonStone> i dont see why they dont put it on the main site
[21:07] <joaopinto> fritzophrenic, if your are doing that using wine, please ask on #winehq
[21:08] <boogieman> thnxxxxx
[21:08] <WiltonStone> turns out it is the correct hash
[21:08] <boogieman> joapinto
[21:08] <tannji> crimsun, copy all and save it as a text document to desktop?
[21:08] <RenatoSilva> does anyone know martian modem?
[21:08] <joaopinto> boogieman, uTorrent is not a linux native app. you cant associate it directly from firefox
[21:08] <fritzophrenic> I am, but Ubuntu, not Wine, is preventing me from ejecting the disk
[21:08] <crimsun> tannji: did it tell you a url?  If so, just tell me the url.
[21:08] <joaopinto> you will need to create some wine wrapper
[21:08] <virtualroadside> anyone know what files happen to be in ~/.cache/ ?
[21:09] <Fryguy--> virtualroadside: thumbnails from nautiluis mostly
[21:09] <joaopinto> boogieman, you are aware that there are several inux native torrent clients.. right ?
[21:09] <drixomanbeta> i want to dual boot ubuntu and xp but i keep on getting a unmountable drive for xp in grub    any idea?
[21:09] <virtualroadside> ah, tnx
[21:09] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: did you install sp1 yet?
[21:09] <tannji> crimsun, the above link opened a page of text....  did not initiate a download
[21:09] <dr_Willis> fritzophrenic,  thats a common probl;em with some multidisk games. the Wine Guys may know of the proper work arounds.. I normally copy ALL the disks data to a single directory and run the installer from that dir. No cd's needed.
[21:09] <amenado> fritzophrenic-> you may have to go to a different console and mount/dismount the cdrom?
[21:09] <Fryguy--> tannji: file | save as
[21:09] <drixomanbeta> i will....
[21:09] <crimsun> tannji: you're supposed to save the file to your Desktop

[21:10] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: so why are you in here asking again if you haven't tried the solution yet?
[21:10] <fritzophrenic> okay, thanks dr_Willis
[21:10] <RenatoSilva> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/martian-modem/+bugs ---> this page notes martian-modem source package, but I can't find that package in Synaptic. What's it?
[21:10] <joaopinto> fritzophrenic, your question is related to a Wine based install... in linux you dont usually run installers from the CD, specially when they need to be changed
[21:10] <boogieman> no answer
[21:10] <boogieman> i have a little question, i made a little script to make uTorrent run in ubuntu 8, when the program launched the first time wine removed the app from my home folder and put it in the c:/ viertual drive... thats not the problem.. the problem is that i cannot associate .torrent to uTorrent because its in c:/ drive and i do not know how to do that...
[21:10] <StevenX>  I just installed compiz-fusion, and it is working fine except for one thing. My application switcher, etc. is not working
[21:11] <StevenX> for example, alt+tab does nothing, and I've already reverted to the default layout.
[21:11] <drixomanbeta> just want to make sure if i  install sp1 and then ubuntu i would not recieive the unmountable error...would I?
[21:11] <tannji> crimsun... I think this might be bad, lol.  when saving to desktop "Error stating file '/home/tannji/Desktop/utils': No such file or directory"
[21:11] <saxin> boogieman: where are you from?
[21:11] <crimsun> tannji: `wget http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh'
[21:11] <Fryguy--> boogieman: is there any reason you are using utorrent instead of one of the half dozen or so native linux torrent clients available
[21:11] <joaopinto> drixomanbeta, there is no relation between SP1 and your problem
[21:11] <Fryguy--> joaopinto: he's installing windows to a machine that doesn't recognize the full size of the hard drive, it is probably the source of his problem
[21:11] <drixomanbeta> any solution to the BSOD problem?
[21:12] <boogieman> saxin: does it matter?? im writing like this because i have a terrible hangover i can barely see
[21:12] <joaopinto> boogieman, since your question is more wine related, that ubuntu or linux... please try asking on #winehq
[21:12] <drixomanbeta> that's the one i'm worried about...
[21:12] <boogieman> fryguy: its my favorite client
[21:12] <joaopinto> Fryguy--, is question is not about that.. is about the inability to mount a windows partition from linux
[21:12] <Fryguy--> boogieman: so then point firefox to a command, something like wine "C:/Program Files/uTorrent/uTorrent.exe" then
[21:12] <joaopinto> drixomanbeta, is your partition fine ? can you use from windows ?
[21:12] <joaopinto> i mean.. use it
[21:12] <drixomanbeta> yeah....
[21:12] <Fryguy--> joaopinto: no it's not, it's about being unable to boot windows
[21:13] <wubrgamer> anyone?
[21:13] <drixomanbeta> i haven't installed sp1 yet..
[21:13] <tannji> crimsun, object not found
[21:13] <drixomanbeta> which i will right now...
[21:13] <Fryguy--> joaopinto: at least that's what he was claiming an hour ago, with the same error message
[21:13] <joaopinto> boogieman, so please ask for help on ##windows.. since your problem is related to the windows install.. and not to Ubuntu
[21:13] <mado> well guys ...
[21:13] <tannji> crimsun, should I copy that and past to terminal?
[21:13] <drixomanbeta> i just want some insight so i don't have to start over again.....
[21:13] <mado> i tried "amd64" ... and it doesn't work too!
[21:14] <joaopinto> drixomanbeta, do get it from a proper place.. a windows chan
[21:14] <crimsun> tannji: wget 'http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-driver.git;a=blob_plain;f=utils/alsa-info.sh'
[21:14] <tannji> crimsun: 403 Forbidden - Error lookup file
[21:15] <user_> hello- has anyone here used pptp pppd  on ubuntu?
[21:15] <Fryguy--> tannji: just visit the url, get the text output, then file save as
[21:15] <Fryguy--> !ask | user_
[21:15] <Fryguy--> woot it's bazhang
[21:15] <drixomanbeta> some how ubuntu dual boot is causing that unmountable error so i should be in the right place....
[21:16] <bumblebee> hi, can someone recommend me a free burning program that i can use to burn the iso file to a cd?
[21:16] <joaopinto> drixomanbeta, have you tried to mount it from the terminal ?
[21:16] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: you are, now install sp1 and don't say anything else until you have
[21:16] <Fryguy--> bumblebee: imgburn
[21:17] <joaopinto> drixomanbeta, not really.. dual boot has nothing to do with your ntfs partition problems
[21:17] <bumblebee> ok ty Fryguy--
[21:17] <RenatoSilva> does this compile on hardy? https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/intrepid/+source/martian-modem/20080617-1
[21:17] <Striking7> Heya all.  I'm trying to create a script that'll check if a process is listening on port 3000, and if it is kill it.
[21:17] <Fryguy--> RenatoSilva: try it and see
[21:17] <Striking7> Grep is being evil to me though.
[21:17] <ikonia> Striking7: what process is it ?
[21:18] <Striking7> I have this line: netstat -nap | grep 3000 | grep  -o "[0-9]{4,6}"
[21:18] <Fryguy--> Striking7: use netstat
[21:18] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> hi all i ran into a problem while trying to install ATI prapritry drivers. it almost installed perfectly but it gave me a error . main prob is this "X Server: unable to detect" any1 know how i can get my X server back up and running .
[21:18] <Striking7> So this should grab the only 4 to 6 digit numbers from netstat's output and give it to me.
[21:18] <cast> Fryguy--: lol.
[21:18] <Striking7> But the grep -o gives me nothing
[21:18] <Fryguy--> cast: ?
[21:18] <Striking7> It never matches.
[21:18]  * cast looks at Striking7's cmd
[21:19] <Striking7> if I take out the {4,6} it'll output each number on a line, so it's matching the digits.
[21:19] <Fryguy--> Striking7: try egrep
[21:19] <joaopinto> DroP-PsyChoSiS, yoou should use the version available on the repositories
[21:19] <Striking7> thanks cast
[21:19] <x3> is there a way to display users in room in x chat
[21:19] <RenatoSilva> Fryguy--: nice mess
[21:19] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> can u pls tell me how to reinstall it joaopinto
[21:20] <joaopinto> if you have installe the one from the ATI site.. i have no idea..
[21:20] <ninjabob7> does anyone know how to get midi sound in java?
[21:20] <x3> i see loads or pessoas portuguesas aqui
[21:20] <cast> netstat -nap | grep 3000 | awk '{print $NF}' gets you closer to your goal :)
[21:20] <Striking7> Fryguy--: egrep works
[21:20] <user_> !ask I have been trying to install pptpd on my box, but I it wont compile, and i get a "/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o no such file or directory error"  Does anyone know of a better pptp client?
[21:20] <Striking7> cast - for some reason when I try doing that with awk, it just prints the whole input line
[21:20] <Fryguy--> Striking7: and like cast said, awk is better at pulling pid from matching lines anyway
[21:21] <boogieman> latersss dudes
[21:21] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> joaopinto, im want to install the praprietry driver but i cant coz of this X server thing :(
[21:21] <Striking7> cast: my first hunch was to use awk as well.  printing $0 gives me the whole input line -like it didn't recognize field seperators
[21:21] <user_> I have been trying to install pptpd on my box, but I it wont compile, and i get a "/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o no such file or directory error"  Does anyone know of a better pptp client?
[21:21] <admin_> how do i kill all connections from ip x
[21:21] <Striking7> Fryguy--: agreed.  Awk was being moody with me.
[21:21] <Fryguy--> Striking7: and 1 prints first column, and 2 prints second column, etc
[21:21] <Striking7> Fryguy--: I know - but it wasn't.  I first tried this:
[21:22] <Striking7> netstat -nap | grep 3000 | awk "{ print $4 }"
[21:22] <Striking7> But it gave me the whole input line
[21:22] <Striking7> Changing the 4 to anything from 0 to 7 gave me back the whole input line.
[21:22] <Striking7> (this is on gutsy)
[21:23] <Fryguy--> i'm not on linux so i don't know what the format of netstat -nap is
[21:23] <joaopinto> Striking7, ' { print $4 }'
[21:23] <tannji> crimsun, I copied the text from your first url, saved it as a text document on the desktop... the other links do not work for me
[21:23] <StevenX> guys. i have a problem. I installed compiz-fusion and it seems to be working great, except for my application switchers. alt+tab, super+tab don't seem to be doing want they should be doing.
[21:23] <crimsun> tannji: ok, can you execute it as a bash script?
[21:23] <Fryguy--> StevenX: so change the configuration for them
[21:23] <Striking7> joaopinto: the single quotes make a diff?
[21:23] <JKAlfer> hey all...  i can't figure out how to enable the sphere deformation in compiz... any help?
[21:23] <Fryguy--> StevenX: use compizconfig-settings-manager if necessary
[21:23] <joaopinto> Striking7, yes.. all the difference
[21:23] <StevenX> Fryguy--, but shouldn't they be working?
[21:23] <Fryguy--> StevenX: maybe
[21:24] <StevenX> at least alt+tab should do something.
[21:24] <Striking7> WHOA!
[21:24] <StevenX> Fryguy--, k, will try
[21:24] <StevenX> Fryguy--, thanks
[21:24] <Striking7> joaopinto: That fixed it! Thanks.
[21:24] <Striking7> Fryguy--, cast, joaopinto, my worries are over.  Thanks!
[21:24] <Desolator> Please anyone able to help with PPPoE problems, fast. After I connect, about 1-2 minutes, I get disconnected for no apparent reason. Here's the `plog' output: http://pastebin.com/d7ae6f4
[21:24] <user_> anyone know of a good pptp client for ubuntu?
[21:24] <tannji> crimsun, I renamed the text files as alsa.info.sh, and tried to run it in terminal, no returned string, no action
[21:24] <JKAlfer> hey all...  i can't figure out how to enable the sphere deformation in compiz... any help?
[21:25] <Fryguy--> user_: pptp-client is a nice package, and network-manager has pptp support built in
[21:25] <zelrikriando> I have sound issues
[21:25] <joaopinto> !compiz | JKAlfer
[21:25]  * zelrikriando hates the sound system on ubuntu
[21:25] <JKAlfer> thanks
[21:25] <crimsun> zelrikriando: what sort?
[21:26] <user_> Im new to debian based linux, could you tell me how to install that package?
[21:26] <Jester45> is there a way to when a system is done booting to have it play/beep something on its internal speaker? doesnt have to be a song and i would rather it not be a song, just a tone for 2 or 3 secs so i know its finished booting. i have 5 servers that is quite anoying pinging the address untill i get a reponse when i could just hear the tone
[21:26] <Fryguy--> user_: sudo apt-get install package name
[21:26] <crimsun> tannji: `bash /path/to/wherever/you/saved/alsa-info.sh'?
[21:26] <Jester45> !apt
[21:26] <Fryguy--> user_: if you are in ubuntu, just right click on the network icon on top right and set up a vpn there
[21:26] <SunmanXII> can i format an external hard drive into ntfs using gparted?
[21:26] <zelrikriando> crimsun, sometimes , my sound fails...I cant recover easily...and now I am trying to open the sound preferences...no way it's opening
[21:26] <Fryguy--> SunmanXII: yes
[21:26] <Jester45> if you would like to know more user_ read above
[21:26] <Fryguy--> SunmanXII: wait, no
[21:26] <crimsun> zelrikriando: when does your sound "fail"?  What were you attempting?
[21:26] <user_> thank-you
[21:26] <SunmanXII> haha which one is it fryguy?
[21:26] <Fryguy--> SunmanXII: it's no
[21:26] <joaopinto> Jester45, install the beep package.. and add the beep into /etc/rc.local
[21:26] <zelrikriando> crimsun, I dont know when it fails...usually it fails when I dont use it
[21:27] <SunmanXII> what do i use to do it then?
[21:27] <Fryguy--> SunmanXII: windows
[21:27] <Jester45> joaopinto: thanks
[21:27] <zelrikriando> crimsun, I never figured out when it starts to fail
[21:27] <admin_> how do i kill all connections from ip x
[21:27] <admin_> how do i kill all connections from ip x
[21:27] <crimsun> zelrikriando: erm, ok.  Are you using something like a Java or Flash applet?
[21:27] <zelrikriando> crimsun, sometimes I am on youtube...might be related...
[21:27] <user_> E: Invalid operation pptp-client
[21:28] <Fryguy--> user_: sudo apt-get install pptp-client, and like i said, just right click on the network icon on the top right of your screen and set up the vpn that way
[21:28] <zelrikriando> crimsun, but is there something to with flash when I want to listen mp3's?
[21:28] <crimsun> zelrikriando: yes, there's breakage there.  Try installing libflashsupport.
[21:28] <Fryguy--> zelrikriando: create a file in /etc/firefox-3/ called firefoxrc, add the line FIREFOX_DSP=aoss there ,and then apt-get install alsa-oss
[21:28] <wil> hey is there a way to install a app to a removable drive like in windows?
[21:28] <dbmoodb> user_: pptp is not very secure
[21:28] <cast> wil: sure.
[21:29] <kyncani> admin_: setup a firewall. Use for example firestarter (graphical) or ufw (console mode)
[21:29] <user_> true dbmoodb
[21:29] <tannji> crimsun: I used " bash ~/home/tannji/Desktop/alsa-info.sh"  it just sends the cursor to the next line in terminal
[21:29] <admin_> kyncani: no, I meant something like tcpkill
[21:29] <user_> but with our fiewall, it is secure enough for now
[21:29] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> can anyone tell me pls y i cant connect to my X server
[21:29] <dbmoodb> wil: what do you mean --- what are you trying to make portable ?
[21:29] <joaopinto> wil, not a software from the repositories.. one built for source or installed from binaries.. yes
[21:29] <Fryguy--> tannji: chmod +x ~/home/tannji/Desktop/alsa-info.sh  and then ~/home/tannji/Desktop/alsa-info.sh
[21:29] <wil> cast: how so? im trying to get open office 2.3 on my eeepc buy want to have it installed on my removalbe drive to keep space free
[21:29] <dbmoodb> user_: with any firewall its not secure it removes security
[21:29] <Refefer> Hey there, having an installation issue with ubuntu
[21:29] <Refefer> I think it's installing it's bootloader onto the wrong hd
[21:30] <kkrusty> is there a repository for gngeo?
[21:30] <x3> is there a way to display users list in xchat/
[21:30] <Refefer> and thus, after I reboot, it loads up Windows XP
[21:30] <user_> well i could use l2tp, but if a router doesnt support ipsec then mitm attacker can still see traffic...
[21:30] <Refefer> and does not give me the option
[21:30] <Fryguy--> Refefer: how many hard drives do you have
[21:30] <tannji> crimsun: bash: +x: command not found
[21:30] <user_> what would you suggest?
[21:30] <dbmoodb> Refefer: during the installation you can pick which one (hard disk to install too) last time i installed if i remmeber correctly --if that doesn't work you can just disconnect / disable in bios the second / other drives
[21:31] <dbmoodb> user_: ..... ssh ? tunneling
[21:31] <crimsun> tannji: try wget "http://git.alsa-project.org/?p=alsa-driver.git;a=blob_plain;f=utils/alsa-info.sh" && mv index* alsa-info.sh
[21:31] <kkrusty> anyone?
[21:31] <fritzophrenic> I was just told in #winehq to check if I have direct rendering enabled...the command they gave was gixinfo, or possibly gixgears, but I get "command not found" for each...any idea what the correct command is?
[21:31] <Refefer> Fryguy--: I have 2- 1 pata, 1 sata
[21:31] <user_> I wish, but our ssh isnt secure either...
[21:31] <user_> v2
[21:31] <wil> just how would i make sure it installs the app to the removable drive when im compling it
[21:31] <Fryguy--> Refefer: disable/remove all hard drives that aren't of the type you are trying to install ubuntu to, and try again
[21:31] <enigmata> Fryguy: it was McAfee.  GEEZE!
[21:31] <tannji> crimsun:  use wget in terminal, browser,  or just click that url?
[21:32] <Ayabara> neither rhythmbox or amarok will play my mp3 files anymore. mplayer/vlc plays them. any ideas?
[21:32] <Fryguy--> user_: ssh can be very secure, what is the problem
[21:32] <zelrikriando> Fryguy--, crimsun I did what you both said
[21:32] <Klick__> Hey all, I just installed hardy on a IBM X41, and I was wondering how i can tell it to always run at 1.5ghz when I'm pluged into the wall, and only run at 600mhz when I'm on batery power
[21:32] <dbmoodb> user_: ssh is very secure
[21:32] <user_> my work doesnt support ssh v3
[21:32] <Fryguy--> user_: there is no ssh v3
[21:32] <dbmoodb> v1 one is not that great but ssh 2 is good. there is no such thing so far as i know as ssh v3
[21:32] <user_> oh, well then whats v2
[21:32] <dbmoodb> !openssh
[21:32] <boogieman> hi... im here again... a little question.. how do i associate torrents with ktorrent (just installed it)
[21:33] <zelrikriando> Fryguy--, then reboot?
[21:33]  * dbmoodb hits head
[21:33] <Jab> Is there a how to out there to fix choppy sound when playing mp3 music in hardy?
[21:33] <cast> wil: ./configure --prefix and --exec-prefix will tell it where to install, statically compile whatever it is if you can
[21:33] <Fryguy--> zelrikriando: i guess
[21:33] <user_> openssh has holes in it all the time
[21:33] <cast> user_: no it doesn't.
[21:33] <dbmoodb> user_: please go look this up
[21:33] <Fryguy--> user_: no it doesn't
[21:33] <zelrikriando> Fryguy--, I cant reboot...
[21:33] <Hilikus> was there a kernel update release recently? like last week or so?
[21:33] <dbmoodb> openssh has not had a hole for a few years now(of note in anyway)
[21:33] <Fryguy--> user_: and certainly not any more or less than any other piece of security-relevant software
[21:33] <zelrikriando> Fryguy--, the logout button isnt working anymore
[21:33] <user_> true
[21:33] <wil> cast: so what would complinging look like? example?
[21:34] <Brucevdk> Ayabara: sudo apt-get install libmad0 lixbine1-ffmpeg | then try in amarok?
[21:34] <Refefer> Fryguy--: The issue (I think) is that windows is on Disk 2, with the mbr on disk 1, and ubuntu is being installed on Disk 2, and writing the mbr on disk 1.  I don't want to lose either's ability too boot up.  Anyway I can tell it to write to the mbr on Disk 1
[21:34] <Refefer> ?
[21:34] <dbmoodb> user_: please stop and think. pptp is insure by its design and i dont hink that has been fixed
[21:34] <fritzophrenic> any idea how to determine if I "have direct rendering enabled"?
[21:34] <Fryguy--> Refefer: i told you what to do
[21:34] <dbmoodb> Refefer: in the installer ....
[21:34] <user_> it hasn
[21:34] <cast> wil: whats the app
[21:34] <Fryguy--> fritzophrenic: glxinfo | grep -i direct
[21:34] <fritzophrenic> gixinfo gives "command not found"
[21:34] <wil> cast:open office
[21:34] <zelrikriando> Fryguy--, in fact...my toolbar isnt working anymore
[21:34] <cast> hm.
[21:34] <crimsun> tannji: terminal
[21:34] <Fryguy--> fritzophrenic: are you running X?
[21:34] <fritzophrenic> yes
[21:35] <dbmoodb> when its says grub instal.. last time i installed / from the alt cd you might get it (pick the second / drive you want)
[21:35] <dbmoodb> glxinfo not fixinfo fritzophrenic
[21:35] <Fryguy--> dbmoodb: his problem is he has pata and sata drives and grub is getting confused which drive to install to
[21:35] <cast> should ubuntu users use aptitude install or apt-get install?
[21:35] <dbmoodb> Fryguy--: so he should tell it which one
[21:35] <Fryguy--> cast: it doesn't really matter
[21:35] <zelrikriando> my system is half frozen...what should I do
[21:35] <user_> oh, i was thinking of ssl v2 vuln, not ssh, sorry
[21:35] <Fryguy--> dbmoodb: yes, and grub gets it wrong
[21:36]  * dbmoodb ....
[21:36] <Ayabara> Brucevdk, already installed, but now it suddenly works again..
[21:36] <Ayabara> oh well
[21:36] <Fryguy--> dbmoodb: which is why i told him to remove all drives of the other interface from his computer when he's installing
[21:36] <Brucevdk> Ayabara: how about Rhythmbox?
[21:36] <TiZ_> Hi. I've copied some fonts over from my Windows partition, and I want to use them as my system fonts. Except they're displayed a couple pixels higher than they're supposed to be. Is there anything I can do to correct this?
[21:36] <fritzophrenic> yes, gixinfo gives "command not found"
[21:36] <zelrikriando> crimsun, my system is half frozen now...what should I do???
[21:36]  * dbmoodb ah is this a known bug (i suggested that before you Fryguy-- if you care to scroll) but last time i installed there was an option just choose the drive you want
[21:36] <dbmoodb> it there isn't then i will file a bug
[21:36] <Fryguy--> TiZ_: play around with font hinting in the appearance menu
[21:36] <RoRza> can anyone tell me how to lock ubuntu without turning off ?
[21:36] <Fryguy--> fritzophrenic: it's glxinfo
[21:36] <RoRza> like locking in windows
[21:37] <crimsun> zelrikriando: "half-frozen"?  What did you do?
[21:37] <TiZ_> I'll give it a shot, Fryguy--.
[21:37] <tannji> crimsun, ran that in terminal
[21:37] <Fryguy--> RoRza: click the power button, and one of the options should be lock screen
[21:37] <dbmoodb> RoRza: yes i can they removed it from the system options. go to system logout and its there
[21:37] <cast> Fryguy--: oh. in the past apt-get didn't things as automagically installed or manually, so aptitude would come through and want to remove a whole lot of packages it deemed unneeded. thus in debian stable land mixing the two is to be avoided if you want to keep things simple. was wondering if its the same in ubuntu
[21:37] <fritzophrenic> oh, 'el' not 'eye'
[21:37] <x3> yea  press ctr alt del and choose lock desktop
[21:37] <Refefer> Fryguy-- and dbmoodb: If I was to disconnect my sata drive, which is what my computer boots from, wouldn't it still install the bootloader on the wrong drive?  After all, once I reinstalled ubuntu, it'd still install the bootloader on the drive that is not booted from
[21:37] <RoRza> ?
[21:37] <zelrikriando> crimsun, nothing...I tried to reboot about trying what you said...
[21:37] <fritzophrenic> need a new font, apparently
[21:37] <Fryguy--> Refefer: i said disconnect the other drive
[21:37] <Ayabara> Brucevdk, rhythmbox as well.
[21:37] <dbmoodb> RoRza: you can add an applet for the gnome-panel (look for the lock screen applet)
[21:37] <x3> or lock screen
[21:37] <Fryguy--> Refefer: if you boot from the sata drive, then disconnect the pata drives
[21:37] <Brucevdk> Ayabara: ok great
[21:38] <zelrikriando> crimsun, I think it started to break when I tried to acces my sound preferences though...the GUI never came up
[21:38] <dbmoodb> Fryguy--: your missing the point he wants ubuntu on one and not the other
[21:38] <Ayabara> Brucevdk, yes :-)
[21:38] <Kernel> hello all. i uninstalled open office as i never use it....and now when it says i have upgrades....it wants to upgrade open office? how is this possible?
[21:38] <Fryguy--> dbmoodb: i'm not missing any point, he's not giving us any specifics
[21:38] <RoRza> 10x ...guys
[21:38] <user_> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-security-announce/2008-May/000706.html
[21:38] <tannji> crimsun: 15:33:42 (61.59 KB/s) - `index.html?p=alsa-driver.git;a=blob_plain;f=utils%2Falsa-info.sh' saved [20364]
[21:38] <crimsun> zelrikriando: ok, so can you reboot?
[21:38] <dbmoodb> .... your not reading
[21:38] <Kernel> open office just takes up space for me...and adds large downloads when updating.
[21:38] <Ayabara> any better musicplayers for gnome than rhythmbox? isn't there an amarok-like alternative?
[21:38] <zelrikriando> crimsun, how?
[21:38] <Refefer> Fryguy--: but then I can't install ubuntu on my pata drive...
[21:38] <crimsun> tannji: right, now, did you `mv index* alsa-info.sh'?
[21:38] <user_> not a big fan of open office, i like vim
[21:38] <Fryguy--> dbmoodb: neither are you, you were the one who is just like "oh install grub on the right drive" without paying any attention to the context of the problem
[21:38] <crimsun> zelrikriando: power-cycle the machine?
[21:38] <zelrikriando> crimsun, my taskbar frost
[21:39] <zelrikriando> ok
[21:39] <tannji> crimsun, will now
[21:39] <dbmoodb> amarok is good. there is a gtk based alternative exaile
[21:39] <TiZ_> The hinting didn't help, unfortunately. I think it's in the font itself. Is there anything I can use to make it come down lower?
[21:39] <Fryguy--> Refefer: so you want to install ubuntu on a drive, and then boot from a different drive?
[21:39] <dbmoodb> Fryguy--: .... its an ubuntu problem
[21:39] <Refefer> Fryguy--: exactly
[21:39] <Fryguy--> dbmoodb: yes
[21:39] <tannji> crimsun: mv: cannot stat `index*': No such file or directory
[21:39] <Fryguy--> Refefer: if the drives are different interfaces, I don't know how to trick grub into using the right drive, sorry
[21:39] <dbmoodb> Fryguy--: i told you thats what he wanted to do. now if you had read that ...ah nevermind
[21:39] <crimsun> tannji: where did you save the file?
[21:39] <user_> E: Couldn't find package pptp-client
[21:40] <user_> still no dice
[21:40] <Fryguy--> user_: like i said, just right click on the network icon on the top right of the screeen and configure your vpn there
[21:40] <user_> no dice also
[21:40] <dbmoodb> try network-manager-pptp-gnome
[21:40] <dbmoodb> and apt-get build-dep on that package perhaps
[21:41] <tannji> crimsun: the only file I have saved is alsa-info.sh, on the desktop
[21:41] <ninjabob7> does anyone know how to get midi working with java? I can play midi files with Timidity++, but Java can't find a sequencer
[21:41] <crimsun> tannji: no, wget saved the file somewhere.  What directory are you at in the Terminal?
[21:42] <TiZ_> Is there any program that will let me bring the characters in a font down lower? It's a really good looking font, but it's a couple pixels too high and that ruins it. :|
[21:42] <crimsun> ninjabob7: you need to either close timidity and/or pasuspend
[21:42] <tannji> crimsun:  ah.....  ~$
[21:42] <Seracht> hi, what's the application that has all the music codecs that I should get?
[21:42] <amenado> i didnt know wubi have Read-Only Demo mode (live cd desktop it says)  -- am comparing a wubi install on a guest xp (on vbox) and an xp as host
[21:42] <ninjabob7> well it doesn't work even before i installed timidity
[21:42] <tannji> crimsun, cd to desktop then?
[21:42] <crimsun> tannji: sure, or provide the full path
[21:42] <dbmoodb> Seracht: gstreamer ? or xine ?
[21:42] <ninjabob7> i installed a lot of midi packages but it still doesn't work
[21:42] <Seracht> dbmoodb I meant like mp3 codecs
[21:43] <ninjabob7> i also tried the alsa-oss wrapper
[21:43] <dbmoodb> Seracht: gstreamer or xine
[21:43] <crimsun> ninjabob7: alsa-oss is irrelevant here
[21:43] <ninjabob7> http://www.tuxguitar.com.ar/tgwiki/doku.php?id=doc:error_midi_unavailable_linux
[21:43] <dbmoodb> trying playing the .mp3 in totem
[21:43] <Seracht> I swear I thought it was some universal codec pack
[21:43] <Seracht> hmm
[21:43] <ninjabob7> first result for the error
[21:43] <johnnypea> hello ,can somebody tell what " 403 Forbidden" means?
[21:43] <crimsun> ninjabob7: the issue is by default, pulseaudio grabs the audio device exclusively, so you need to either use timidity or jackd.
[21:43] <ninjabob7> so how?
[21:43] <Fryguy--> TiZ_: like i said, you  need to play with the font hinting
[21:44] <Devlin_> Evening ladies and gents
[21:44] <TiZ_> Fryguy-- Font hinting did nothing.
[21:44] <Devlin_> I have a problem
[21:44] <crimsun> ninjabob7: well, does your hardware provide a sequencer?  (likely not)
[21:44] <ninjabob7> the sound works in java, just not the midi music
[21:44] <Fryguy--> TiZ_: then you are out of luck
[21:44] <ninjabob7> don't think so
[21:44] <Fryguy--> johnnypea: it means the website isn't allowing access to that resource
[21:44] <user_> E: Unable to find a source package for network-manager-pptp-gnome
[21:44] <TiZ_> I see. Well, thank you anyways.
[21:44] <ninjabob7> but the snd_seq_midi module is loaded
[21:44] <crimsun> ninjabob7: /dev/seq* access is problematic with pulseaudio.  Use ALSA directly.
[21:45] <zelrikriando> crimsun, ok I rebooted using 'sudo reboot' (I had a terminal handy)
[21:45] <johnnypea> it says when I whant to download or update repositores? why is that?
[21:45] <ninjabob7> ok, so how do i do that?
[21:46] <zelrikriando> crimsun, for now the sound is back but I dont know for how long it will be like this
[21:46] <crimsun> ninjabob7: you need to describe precisely what you're trying to do, which means you need to tell me which applications you're using.
[21:46] <crimsun> ninjabob7: (that are related to audio)
[21:46] <crimsun> zelrikriando: did you install libflashsupport?
[21:46] <zelrikriando> crimsun, yeah
[21:47] <Devlin_> For some weird reason, when I copy files from CD/DVD in the gui(nautilus/metacity/gnome) it marks them read-only and I have to manually sort them out
[21:47] <zelrikriando> crimsun, I dont like when the sound fails...my whole system is going wild when that happens
[21:47] <ninjabob7> crimsun: I'm trying to run a java-based game that uses midi for music. everything works, including sound, except the music. there are no other apps open except whatever loads with xfce
[21:48] <tannji> crimsun:  Wget command did this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/25264/  I dont see a path to where it saved to, and it is not in the download folder or desktop
[21:48] <ninjabob7> here is the error message: "javax.sound.midi.MidiUnavailableException: Audio Device Unavailable"
[21:48] <user_> okay, well lets get back to the basics... I downloaded the tarball for pptpd, and when i compile it, i get "/usr/bin/ld: crt1.o: No such file: No such file or directory" does anyone know where to get the ctrl.o library?
[21:48] <Fryguy--> user_: sudo apt-get install pptpd
[21:48] <crimsun> tannji: it's in your $HOME.
[21:48] <tannji> crimsun:  I see how busy you are, I am in no hurry  = )\
[21:49] <crimsun> tannji: mv -f ~/index* ~/alsa-info.sh
[21:49] <ygor_abreu> Hey guys..dows any1 know how can i convert to a video file, the webcam logs that amsn create?  they are .cam extension...
[21:49] <erUSUL> user_: whay are you compiling from source???
[21:49] <user_> because i like source
[21:49] <Fryguy--> user_: if you like source, then you probably shouldn't be using ubuntu, and you should use a distribution more suitable for source compilations
[21:50] <erUSUL> user_: sudo apt-get build-dep pptpd
[21:50] <user_> My first time with deb based linux
[21:50] <Fryguy--> user_: in ubuntu, the ubuntu way is to use the precompiled binary packages in it's repository for as much as possible.  you are defeating a large point of the purpse of ubuntu
[21:50] <user_> i figured i would give it a try
[21:50] <dbmoodb> user_: enjoy the apt-get
[21:50] <Devlin_> yes, user_ - learn to love apt-get, it is your best buddy.
[21:50] <Reformer81> user_: Yeah, you'll love apt. :)
[21:50] <user_> lol
[21:51] <johnnypea> please, I cannot update or download new repositores due to "403 Forbidden" thing? please can anybody help, I am looking for a solution for almost a month
[21:51] <user_> y
[21:51] <user_> sorry y unintended
[21:51] <Reformer81> ygor_abreu: Look into ffmpeg.
[21:51] <Fryguy--> johnnypea: what repository
[21:51] <amenado> hmmm ...something new .. Connect to a 802.1x protected wired network... was this on hardy before? or only on 8.04.1 ?
[21:51] <dbmoodb> johnnypea: try changing the repositories your are using
[21:51] <dbmoodb> amenado: i think it was on gutsy
[21:51] <crimsun> ninjabob7: / tannji: I'm away to find a new wifi hotspot, should be able 15-20 mins.
[21:52] <amenado> dbmoodb-> not on my gutsy...i havent not seen this before
[21:52] <tannji> crimsun, roger
[21:52] <dbmoodb> mmm perhaps i had installed it --- its for vpn i think
[21:52] <Gigi> how can I access the pastbin... need to ask something!!
[21:52] <johnnypea> everything worked but from out of nothing it stopped working...I can update or download no repositores at all
[21:52] <Fryguy--> !pastebin | Gigi
[21:52] <Reformer81> Gigi: http://paste.ubuntu.com
[21:52] <Fryguy--> johnnypea: what repository
[21:52] <Gigi> thanks.
[21:52] <Gigi> Had the older link
[21:53] <TiZ_> Hey, is it possible, when you click a link to download a file in firefox, to open it as root?
[21:53] <Reformer81> TiZ_: Thankfully, no.
[21:53] <johnnypea> Fryguy--, all of them :(
[21:53] <amenado> dbmoodb it must only on 8.04.1  i just installed it via wubi...anyone else can confirm if this is available a part of stock install on 8.04 hardy ?
[21:53] <erUSUL> TiZ_: you need windows for that XD
[21:53] <TiZ_> Hm. Then where else am I going to put the fonts I download?
[21:53] <dbmoodb> what Reformer81 . it is possible -- yes i can confirm that (its part of stock)
[21:53] <Devlin_> That's easy
[21:53] <Fryguy--> johnnypea: all of them what? there are hundred of ubuntu repositories in existence, and you aren't using them all, which ones are you using
[21:53] <Reformer81> TiZ_: Just download it then use sudo to do what you need.
[21:53] <erUSUL> !fonts | TiZ_
[21:54] <Fryguy--> TiZ_: open up fonts:// in nautilus and drag drop
[21:54] <dbmoodb> * what Reformer81 said -- its is possible but its NOT A GOOD IDEA.
[21:54] <Gigi> I'm trying to make wine work... but when I type winecfg I get this  http://paste.ubuntu.com/25265/
[21:54] <drpcken> is it possible to disable the laptop touchpad when a usb mouse is connected?
[21:54] <Reformer81> dbmoodb: Well, I guess I made a bad assumption ... thought something that stupid shouldn't be possible :)
[21:54] <TiZ_> Thanks for the responsiveness, guys.
[21:54] <johnnypea> Fryguy--, you mean the source of repositories?
[21:54] <TiZ_> :)
[21:54] <Fryguy--> johnnypea: yes
[21:54] <amenado> drpcken-> possible, if you tinker with it in the xorg.conf file
[21:54] <Fryguy--> Gigi: do you have a ~/.wine/drive_c already/
[21:54] <dbmoodb> Reformer81: yes your answer is better for end users i suppose
[21:55] <ygor_abreu> Reformer81: thx mate
[21:55] <johnnypea> Fryguy--, I have tried the US and CZECH download servers but none of them are working for me
[21:55] <Gigi> Fryguy-- I do not, but when I click on autodetect, it appears... but if I do close and reopen, drive c goes away....  It has been long time not using windows nor wine... so do not remember
[21:55] <dbmoodb> johnnypea: what version of ubuntu are you on ?
[21:55] <Ali__> Anyone have used a wireless connection on DELL VOSTRO 1500 in ubuntu?
[21:55] <drpcken> how can i open and edit my xorg.conf?  its been a couple months since i turned on my ubuntu box :)
[21:55] <johnnypea> dbmoodb, 8.04 HARDY
[21:55] <Fryguy--> drpcken: gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:56] <Gigi> drpcken I guess - gedit /etc/xll/xorg.conf
[21:56] <Ali__> ?????????/
[21:56] <Fryguy--> Ali__: which card? the dell card or the intel card
[21:56] <drpcken> the reason i want to disable touchpad is because sometimes, for no reason at all the mouse cursor will start drifting right or left... i'm assuming its the touchpad
[21:56] <dbmoodb> Ali__: it should work
[21:57] <Ali__> I think it has detected the card
[21:57] <dbmoodb> have you tried to use it ?
[21:57] <Ali__> but it needs the network name
[21:57] <Gigi> Readint the error it says "err:dosmem:setup_dos_mem Cannot use first megabyte for DOS address space, please report
[21:57] <Gigi> "
[21:57] <Fryguy--> so then give it th enetwork name
[21:57] <user_> okay, now i have pppd, where do i find the package for pptp-client, i only seep the rpm and tarball option?
[21:57] <Ali__> but I want an applicaion to search for wireless networks and connect to
[21:57] <Fryguy--> user_: sudo apt-get install pptpclient i think, or apt-cache search pptp and check out the results
[21:58] <Fryguy--> Ali__: click on the network icon on the top right of your screen
[21:58] <johnnypea> :(
[21:58] <dbmoodb> its called networking-manager and its in the top right hand corner just try that :)
[21:58] <dr_Willis> Gigi,  i see that message all the time.. even on programs that work...
[21:58] <dbmoodb> you have wifi networks near you yes ?
[21:58] <Ali__> It needs the network name!
[21:58] <user_> my networking manager doesnt have crap
[21:58] <erUSUL> !info pptp-linux | user_
[21:58] <Fryguy--> Ali__: browse the interface some more, there is a scan option there
[21:58] <dbmoodb> user_: get the pptp package for it
[21:58] <Ali__> Is it exactly the name that is seen in windows?
[21:59] <dbmoodb> network-manager-pptp-gnome
[21:59] <dbmoodb> Ali__: yes
[21:59] <Fryguy--> user_: enable the universe and multiverse repositories in synaptic
[21:59] <Fryguy--> user_: in the system menu
[21:59] <drpcken> ok how about this, is it possible to disable the little eraser head thingy on laptop keyboards?  you know that controls the mouse cursor?
[21:59] <zelrikriando> crimsun, do you think it's fixed now?
[21:59] <Ali__> Well, how can I make sure that the wireless card is detected?
[22:00] <dbmoodb> well go lspci -v |grep wire
[22:00] <Fryguy--> Ali__: use ifconfig and iwconfig and make sure you have a wireless interface
[22:00] <dbmoodb> if that fails try lspci -v --- find your wireless card
[22:00] <johnnypea> I dont understand that, everything else works for me excluding the Updates for Ubuntu
[22:00] <Ali__> thanks
[22:01] <Qubed> sooo uhhh
[22:01] <Qubed> why is my ubuntu sucking?
[22:01] <Fryguy--> !ask | Qubed
[22:01] <ninjabob7> crimsun: so how do I use alsa instead of pulseaudio? I have the xfce4-mixer-alsa package installed, but I don't know how to tell it to use that one
[22:02] <Fryguy--> !pulse | ninjabob7
[22:02] <satlan> what is the shortcut to change direction? (ctrl-shift in windows)
[22:02] <Qubed> k....how do I make firefox, or a lot of other apps, actually start....the process starts, it shows in the taskbar, and then it disappears, and leaves a sleeping process
[22:02] <Gigi> its working
[22:02] <Gigi> I killed the old .wine folder and now it goes through
[22:03] <Gigi> thanks!
[22:03] <Fryguy--> Qubed: what video card are you using
[22:03] <Qubed> ati radeon 9200 if I recall
[22:03] <Qubed> yeah that sounds right
[22:03] <Fryguy--> Qubed: are you using 3d desktop effects
[22:03] <user_> user_: enable the universe and multiverse repositories in synaptic>> i dont see multiverse and universe
[22:03] <Qubed> no
[22:04] <unop> Qubed, does this happen to firefox only?
[22:04] <Fryguy--> Qubed: are you sure
[22:04] <RenatoSilva> I've configured my DSL connection through #pppoeconf, but now I need to make my other dialed connection to work. I've got to put my modem driver working, I use Gnome-PPP to connect and it goes ok, but the only way to make internet really work was by commenting these lines [http://pastebin.com/d53d9fed8]  in /etc/network/interfaces and restarting the system. I believe my prior DSL config was the cause of not being able to
[22:04] <Qubed> well, firefox is the main thing, like it will start for a while, then if I close it, I can't get it to start again
[22:04] <Salvat> hi every one
[22:04] <Finiras> I am looking for a command that lets me see system information - such as processor, RAM storage, free disk space - I do not have access to a graphical interface
[22:04] <Qubed> also uhh, the visual boy advance........it started weirding out on me doing the same thing
[22:05] <unop> Qubed, ok, make sure that firefox hasn't crashed and you have defunct/hung processes lying about - same with your advance
[22:05] <Fryguy--> Finiras: cat /proc/cpuinfo, free, and df are the 3 commands you can use
[22:05] <Salvat> can anyone post some information that acutually works of how to install lineage2 in ubuntu
[22:05] <Qubed> I killed all firefox processes
[22:05] <Finiras> fryguy-- thanks I'll try it
[22:05] <unop> Qubed,  killall -9 firefox-bin  # at a terminal to make sure
[22:06] <user_> i hate myself for switching to ubuntu :(
[22:06] <Fryguy--> user_: so then switch back to whatever you were using before
[22:06] <Broken> Hello - I've just built a new box from components I got from ebuyer. I had to get a replacement motherboard, because the previous one was a) unstable and b) wouldn't pass POST later on.
[22:06] <user_> no compiling from sourch?
[22:06] <Qubed> yeah, no process killed, they is all dead
[22:06] <Salvat> i love ubuntu it blows windows away
[22:06] <Salvat> just give your self time and you will learn
[22:06] <Reformer81> user_: Linux shouldn't make you hate yourself.  So go to whatever you used before and be happy :)
[22:06] <Broken> Unfortunately, now I'm suffering stability problems.
[22:06] <user_> CentOS
[22:06] <phish> Why is it when I try to load a fullscreen game at 640x480 it seems like the monitor is at a much higher resolution "emulating" 640x480?
[22:06] <unop> Qubed, now launch firefox from a terminal and see if it spits out any error messages that might help troubleshoot
[22:07] <Fryguy--> Salvat: that's a subjective opinion, and doesn't apply to user_ since he comes from a somewhat more advanced linux backround
[22:07] <Salvat> i just made the switch a week ago and have already reintalled 4 times l;ol
[22:07] <unop> user_, what do you mean by "no compiling from source" ?
[22:07] <Broken> When I try to format my hard drive with GParted in Ubuntu, it freezes.
[22:07] <Qubed> *blink blink* holy **** it started
[22:07] <Broken> I do not have this problem when simply deleting partitions.
[22:07] <user_> I love linux, but switching distros is a little frustrating
[22:07] <Salvat> use the free cd
[22:07] <Salvat> that you wrote
[22:07] <Broken> It seems to me that it's either when I create a new partition or when the partition gets formatted that the problem arises.
[22:07] <user_> i cant get pptp to compile now... I finally got the ppp daemon running
[22:08] <user_> and i have no idea what package thing your talking about
[22:08] <unop> Qubed, how do you usually launch firefox? from the menu or a launcher?
[22:08] <Fryguy--> user_: compiling in ubuntu is just as hard as compiling in centos
[22:08] <Qubed> launcher or menu doesn't work
[22:08] <Qubed> but starts fine from terminal
[22:08] <Salvat> can anyone point me to a group that couljd help me with win and lineage2
[22:08] <unop> user_, or as easy ...
[22:08] <crater_fan> Hi all, I am unable to use mplayer / vlc to play any of my video files. vlc plays just the audio, mplayer freezes after showing a black video window. Any hints what is wrong ? I tried reinstalling mplayer and w32codecs, no change. :(
[22:08] <Finiras> if i have access to the ubuntu partition from windows, is it possible to retrieve passwords or change them?
[22:08] <Salvat> wine and lineage2
[22:08] <Fryguy--> Finiras: change yes, retrieve, no
[22:08] <user_> well people here are telling me if i want to compile from source to switch distros again
[22:09] <crimsun> zelrikriando: libflashsupport should fix that particular symptom, but it may introduce instability.
[22:09] <user_> is there a place to get a bunch of popular libraries?
[22:09] <crimsun> zelrikriando: (the underlying issues are all fixed in intrepid)
[22:09] <unop> user_, that would be bad advice -- and that's not true -- sometimes you do have to compile and that's fine in ubuntu too
[22:09] <Fryguy--> user_: right, it's not the way you should be installing software in most distributions of linux
[22:09] <Fryguy--> user_: distributions pre-package software for you for a reason (centos included)
[22:09] <crimsun> ninjasenses: remove the pulseaudio package, for starters
[22:10] <user_> true, RPM has its frustrations too
[22:10] <greenfishx3> how do i find out if im running i386 or i686 kernel?
[22:10] <Fryguy--> greenfishx3: i386
[22:10] <RenatoSilva>  I've configured my DSL connection through #pppoeconf, but now I need to make my other dialed connection to work. I've got to put my modem driver working, I use Gnome-PPP to connect and it goes ok, but the only way to make internet really work was by commenting these lines [http://pastebin.com/d53d9fed8]  in /etc/network/interfaces and restarting the system. I believe my prior DSL config was the cause of not being a
[22:10] <greenfishx3> Fryguy--: sorry?
[22:10] <unop> Qubed, not really sure what is happening there -- maybe there's a problem with the gnome desktop keeping windows open
[22:11] <Fryguy--> greenfishx3: use uname to check
[22:11] <unop> user_, what are you compiling?
[22:11] <user_> pptp
[22:11] <Fryguy--> unop: a package that is in ubuntu repositories
[22:11] <Qubed> I'd bet on something like that...because the visual boy advance thing, the main window starts up, but when the game is supposed to start, it doesn't....
[22:11] <user_> it wont find it...
[22:11] <greenfishx3> thank you Fryguy--
[22:11] <user_> i dot see it in package manager too
[22:11] <unop> user_, maybe you don't have all the ubuntu repos enabled
[22:12] <Reformer81> user_: Could you pastebin your sources.lst file?
[22:12] <Niklas_E> is there any icq client where you can change skin and gui?
[22:12] <unop> !repositories | user_
[22:12] <Fryguy--> user_: i don't you earlier to enable multiverse and universe repositories in synaptic, in the system menu
[22:12] <Fryguy--> Niklas_E: pidgin
[22:12] <user_> user_: enable the universe and multiverse repositories in synaptic
[22:13] <broken_quiche> Does anyone know of a reason for a livecd to freeze when formatting hard disk partitions?
[22:13] <user_> cant find that option
[22:13] <Fryguy--> broken_quiche: bad burn, incomptaible hardware, or a bad hard disk, or other bad hardware
[22:13] <Reformer81> broken_quiche: First make sure it's actually frozen.  That process can take a while without showing any progress.
[22:13] <drpcken> if i have the xorg.conf open, how can i disable a line?  for instance if i want to disable a piece of hardware?
[22:13] <unop> user_, not synaptic -- but software properties -- actually, see the wiki that ubottu just recommended
[22:13] <broken_quiche> I left it for around 40 minutes.
[22:13] <w30> broken_quiche, maybe it runs out of memory
[22:13] <Reformer81> drpcken: Add # to the beginning of the line.
[22:13] <Bulzor> can anyone help me with a problem regarding firefox?
[22:13] <icenate001> hi i tried to burn ubuntu to cd... but it didnt work said invalid cd type.. when i ran the setup
[22:14] <Fryguy--> broken_quiche: make sure the disc is valid (run verify disc), and if it is, try using the alternate cd to install.  if you still have problems, conduct some basic hardware diagnosis to make sure that all of your hardware is working correctly
[22:14] <unop> !ask | Bulzor
[22:14] <broken_quiche> Heh, it's got 4GB.
[22:14] <Fryguy--> !ask | Bulzor
[22:14] <broken_quiche> of RAM
[22:14] <Bulzor> firefox crashes when i visit certain websites
[22:14] <Reformer81> Bulzor: What sites?
[22:14] <broken_quiche> Fryguy--: Yeah, I did check CD for defects.
[22:14] <drpcken> so what if i want to disable a whole section of "InputDevice"?
[22:14] <Bulzor> like this one www.blabbermouth.net
[22:14] <Reformer81> Bulzor: What version of Firefox?  And what errors, if any, does it give you?
[22:14] <Fryguy--> drpcken: append '#' to each line you want to comment out
[22:15] <broken_quiche> I'm thinking that this may be a hardware problem; I've only just built this box and I had a faulty mobo last time.
[22:15] <geirha> icenate001: http://screencasts.ubuntu.com/Downloading_and_Burning_an_Ubuntu_ISO
[22:15] <icenate001> ty
[22:15] <broken_quiche> Well, OpenSUSE has done this.
[22:15] <Reformer81> broken_quiche: If you're getting the same problem from two different distros, it's most like hardware-related.
[22:15] <user_> actually someone mentioned that pptp isnt secure earlier.. Is there any way i can do a PoC on my works pptp server to prove to them that we can't use this old and busted method of VPN
[22:16] <broken_quiche> Reformer81: I mean that OpenSUSE succeeded in doing the job, sorry.
[22:16] <broken_quiche> And thanks.
[22:16] <Fryguy--> user_: this isn't the correct place to be asking about conducting security audits on corporate  networks
[22:16] <Reformer81> broken_quiche: Oh, okay.
[22:16] <broken_quiche> Thanks to you, also, w30
[22:16] <user_> k...
[22:16] <Bulzor> It's the newest version of firefox and i dont get any error messages when it crashes
[22:16] <Fryguy--> Bulzor: what page
[22:16] <w30> Bulzor, Firefox gets flaky for me when I visit porn sites; I think they run about scripts on you when you load their pages so Firefox crashers rather than let them have their way with yo. Ha!
[22:16] <Reformer81> Bulzor: Try running 'firefox' from a terminal.  When it crashes, check the terminal window for error messages.
[22:17] <w30> about a million
[22:17] <Qubed> aye I'm back....I just found out that I can't get firefox to show up as a user, but running as root it starts up fine, does that help any?
[22:17] <Bulzor> ok i will try
[22:17] <Fryguy--> Qubed: going back to my original question from quite a few minutes ago that you ignored.  are you running 3d effects, and are you sure
[22:17] <broken_quiche> Are there any BIOS settings that I could change in the hope that things will stabillise?
[22:17] <Qubed> what are 3d effects?
[22:18] <Fryguy--> Qubed: use the gpu to render your desktop, it's enabled by default
[22:18] <broken_quiche> The thing is, I fiddled with BIOS settings before and, um, ended up with my system being unable to pass POST.
[22:18] <Reformer81> Qubed: Turn them on and find out.  Also, Google for "compiz." :)
[22:18] <unop> hmm, firefox crashed on me too visiting blabbermouth.net
[22:18] <Fryguy--> Qubed: if your video card isn't set up correctly it can cause problems
[22:18] <Qubed> unless ubuntu installs 3d stuff automatically, I don't
[22:18] <Qubed> wait
[22:18] <cafree> I messed up my install a little, creating a partition and associating it with media, forgetting that's a folder that actually exists.  How can I "reassign" /media to my root partition?
[22:18] <Qubed> compiz is bad? or good?
[22:18] <Fryguy--> Qubed: it does
[22:18] <broken_quiche> Still, I supose that if that is the case, I can always remove the CMOS battery... right?
[22:18] <Reformer81> broken_quiche: If you're not too good at fiddling with your BIOS, I wouldn't suggest doing it again :P
[22:18] <Fryguy--> Qubed: compiz is 3d effects, installed by default
[22:18] <broken_quiche> Reformer81: Well I don't know whether it was PEBKAC or faulty components.
[22:18] <Fryguy--> Qubed: turn them off in the appearance menu and see if problems persist
[22:18] <Bulzor> this is strange .. when i start firefox in terminal and visit blabbermouth it dont crash :S
[22:19] <tripps> what is recommended, to use my ATI radeon restricted driver supplied by ubuntu, or use the driver install utility from ATI's website? I've heard from wine folks and others that the compiled version from ATI is better.
[22:19] <Fryguy--> cafree: just unmount it
[22:19] <Reformer81> Bulzor: Heh... that is odd :)
[22:19] <greenfishx3> whats the cli command to find out what speed/core your processor have?
[22:19] <Qubed> where would I find out where to enable/disable 3d effects?
[22:19] <Fryguy--> greenfishx3: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[22:19] <Fryguy--> Qubed: in the appereance menu
[22:19] <Qubed> k k
[22:19] <dew> tripps: i had decent luck using EnvyNG to install ati drivers
[22:19] <unop> cafree, unmount your /media partition -- and you have the folder back .. you'll need to disable the partition from loading up again by editing the /etc/fstab file and changing the mount point to where this partition should from now on be mounted
[22:19] <Bulzor> but dude thx alot .. starting firefox in terminal is np :D
[22:19] <Fryguy--> !envy | dew: tripps:
[22:19] <tomd123> cafree: reinstall maybe? if you just installed, you can just do a fresh install to make it clean
[22:20] <cafree> Fryguy--, I think it's more than that.  It's got the actually "pointers" or whatever to my cdroms and such
[22:20] <Fryguy--> cafree: explain
[22:20] <Qubed> oh now this is good *appearance dialog does not show up*
[22:20] <Reformer81> Bulzor: Actually, it is a problem... but if you're okay with it then cool.
[22:20] <dew> Fryguy--: thanks, but i /did/ say EnvyNG ;)
[22:20] <greenfishx3> Fryguy--: hmm i have a 4400+ dual core cpu, that command you gave me says 1000mhz cpu mhz is that normal
[22:21] <cafree> Fryguy--, during the installation, I associated with a partition with /media, like I did with associating another partition with /
[22:21] <Bulzor> :)
[22:21] <Fryguy--> greenfishx3: sure, ubuntu steps down your processors speed when you aren't using it
[22:21] <w30> greenfishx3, proc has lots of specs, just cd /proc and do a cat meminfo and etc. on interesting file names in /proc
[22:21] <tripps> Fryguy--, dew, cool - checking that out
[22:21] <Fryguy--> cafree: so unmount it, and edit fstab so that you don't mount it again
[22:21] <cafree> Fryguy--, now when I mount that partition, I see several files: cdrom, cdrom0, cdrom1, etc etc
[22:21] <greenfishx3> ah cool Fryguy-- and thanks w30
[22:21] <Fryguy--> greenfishx3: look at powernowd if you want details
[22:21] <Bulzor> i'm pretty new to linux but i got to say this is far better than windows :) much much better and faster
[22:22] <cafree> Fryguy-- yeah but now my /media doesn't display cdrom, cdrom0, cdrom1, etc
[22:22] <snoopcat> is there a code that goes in terminal for internet explorer 7?
[22:22] <unop> cafree, copy those directories into the /media folder
[22:22] <dew> i'm actually about to give installing the version from the amd site a crack
[22:22] <unop> cafree, or move them rather
[22:22] <greenfishx3> Fryguy--: awesome ^_^
[22:22] <Reformer81> snoopcat: IE is a Windows program, not Linux.
[22:22] <nibsa1242b> where is the FF3 cache located?
[22:22] <Fryguy--> cafree: so then unmount /media, remove it from fstab and reboot
[22:22] <snoopcat> oh
[22:22] <dew> see if it sorts out my shitty 1080p performance
[22:22] <snoopcat> ok
[22:22] <snoopcat> lol
[22:22] <Bulzor> why use internet explorer in linux? :/
[22:22] <Fryguy--> nibsa1242b: ~/.firefox/somewhere/deep/in/here
[22:22] <cafree> Fryguy--, I think you're misunderstanding what I'm saying.  I did that
[22:22] <tomd123> snoopcat: although ie has been known to run under wine+linux :)
[22:22] <snoopcat> to play a game=)
[22:22] <cafree> unop: that simple, huh?
[22:22] <Reformer81> snoopcat: Use Firefox...
[22:22] <snoopcat> i have wine
[22:22] <cafree> unop, I'll give it a shot
[22:22] <Fryguy--> cafree: and you restarted?
[22:22] <Reformer81> snoopcat: Ah.
[22:22] <Manger> hey all
[22:23] <cafree> Fryguy--, yes
[22:23] <snoopcat> firefox doesnt work
[22:23] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: tomd123 there is always ies4linux
[22:23] <snoopcat> it sucks
[22:23] <user_> snoopcat to play a game???
[22:23] <Manger> i need some assistance with troubleshooting a webcam
[22:23] <Fryguy--> cafree: so now what is the problem
[22:23] <iplaythisgame> I have a question, allow mouse keys keeps enabling. Im not sure what is doing it but it comes on every couple days. Anyone run across this before?
[22:23] <snoopcat> lol yeh
[22:23] <user_> sounds like a social engineering plou
[22:23] <user_> y
[22:23] <unop> cafree, should be -- just make sure you associate this partition with a new mount point now (in /etc/fstab) -- that's it
[22:23] <Manger> are there any webcam gurus in the house?
[22:23] <Fryguy--> cafree: you have /media back on your root partition, and things should be showing up
[22:23] <crater_fan> hello all, mplayer on my m/c freezes when starting a video file. No audio/video just a black window. Any idea what is happening ?
[22:23] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: is the game in java?
[22:23] <Fryguy--> !ask | Manger
[22:23] <snoopcat> well is there a code for hypercam?
[22:23] <snoopcat> yeah it is
[22:23] <dew> crater_fan: probably the wrong video output thingy
[22:23] <snoopcat> i have java
[22:23] <user_> you can use about:cionfig to make  your firefox look like explorer
[22:24] <snoopcat> but somebody said i need IE7
[22:24] <Reformer81> snoopcat: Have you tried it yet?
[22:24] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: yeah, but it doesn't work right with FF3 unless you remove icedtea
[22:24] <cafree> Fryguy--, two things.  A) my /media does not display my cdroms (maybe it shouldn't because they have no disks?), B, my partition, when mounted has entries for cdrom0, cdrom1, etc
[22:24] <snoopcat> yeh...
[22:24] <Bulzor> btw is it possible to start windows xp  inside ubuntu using virtual box if your windows is on a different disk?
[22:24] <crater_fan> dew, I used to use -vo x11 that is not working right now.
[22:24] <cafree> unop,  I'll try that
[22:24] <snoopcat> woah im confused
[22:24] <dew> crater_fan: did you try gl or gl2?
[22:24] <Fryguy--> cafree: so put a disc in and see what happens
[22:24] <crater_fan> dew, how do I know what is the correct parameter now ?
[22:24] <snoopcat> well
[22:24] <Manger> ok will do
[22:24] <Reformer81> Bulzor: No.  Virtual machines won't let you boot an actual partition.
[22:24] <crater_fan> dew, no. I will try now.
[22:24] <snoopcat> can somebody help me get hyper cam?
[22:24] <dew> crater_fan: i dunno, trial and error? ;)
[22:24] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: yeah, but it doesn't work right with FF3 unless you remove icedtea or iceweasel or something... I'll tell you what it is in a min
[22:24] <Reformer81> snoopcat: Look at "Applications -> Add/Remove"
[22:25] <dew> crater_fan: also try xv
[22:25] <cafree> Fryguy--, all right, thanks for your help, but it sounds like this isn't an issue you've run across before.  I'll play around and report back
[22:25] <crater_fan> dew, okay
[22:25] <Fryguy--> cafree: i haven't run across any issue before, i don't use linux
[22:25] <Gman_> i'm trying to install Ubuntu on an HP NetServer LC3. When booting with a bootable CD, the kernel uncompresses fine, but never loads. This happens with all combinations of boot options. It happens as well with the latest Debian (Lenny?). On the other hand, I can boot some other LiveCDs just fine (such as DSL). Any thoughts?
[22:25] <snoopcat> and then what?
[22:25] <Bulzor> Ok Reformer 81
[22:25] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: remove icedtea-gcjwebplugin it conflicts with Java running properly.
[22:25] <snoopcat> ok will do
[22:25] <cafree> Fryguy--, just like the atmosphere, eh?
[22:25] <Fryguy--> cafree: sure
[22:25] <icenate001> my friend is having trouble with CounterStrike:Source it is really laggy for him when he connects to a game using wine.. and on mine it doesnt lag one bit and my computer is much older than his
[22:25] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: then close and reopen FF3 and see if that helps
[22:26] <cafree> Fryguy--, to each his own, I suppose
[22:26] <snoopcat> ok
[22:26] <crater_fan> dew, none of these worked. gl, gl2, x11, xv
[22:26] <Fryguy--> cafree: the contents of /media is autogenerated and used on the fly, so if you put a disc in it should just work.  if you really need to you can just recreate /media/cdrom or whatever.  they are just directories
[22:26] <perlsyntax> what lib to i need to catch wireless packet?
[22:27] <dew> crater_fan: harsh, what gfx hardware do you have?
[22:27] <perlsyntax> is it pcap
[22:27] <Fryguy--> cafree: hald is what is responsible for it
[22:27] <Fryguy--> perlsyntax: yes
[22:27] <snoopcat> there is no iced tea on my system
[22:27] <snoopcat> lol...
[22:27] <crater_fan> dew, I think ATI X1400.
[22:28] <Ace2016> Hi all
[22:28] <Manger> ok.. I have a creative WebCam Notebook Ultra. trying to get it to work.  I think the owner tried some things, as the webcam should have been supported out of the box.  When I try to run camorama or gqcam gives an error and says that the /dev/video0 cannot be found.  lsusb shows it fine, modprobed gspca(the module responsible for the driver for the camera) and still same thing.  I'm thinking I have to symlink something somewhere but I have no idea.  Can anyon
[22:28] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: good because you don't want Icedtea
[22:28] <perlsyntax> fryguy, that what it call on ubuntu?
[22:28] <snoopcat> alrighty
[22:28] <dew> crater_fan: did you install some driver for it? a restricted driver?
[22:28] <Fryguy--> perlsyntax: no idea, apt-cache search should be able to help you find the right library.  probably libpcap
[22:28] <snoopcat> so, is there a code that goes in terminal for hypercam?
[22:28] <saba> someone can help me with a SWF playing problem in Ubuntu??
[22:28] <Ace2016> where can i get flash 10 beta 2 for ubuntu?
[22:28] <Fryguy--> !ask | saba
[22:28] <unop> perlsyntax, pcap (or libpcap) is the library - you probably need something like wireshark or pcaputils to actually interface with the library
[22:28] <dew> crater_fan: in the system menu somewhere there's a thing that'll do it for you
[22:28] <Hilikus> hey guys, im trying to install the nvidia binary driver, im using kernel 2.6.24-19-server. im using envying but i get this error Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 2.6.24-19-server (i686)
[22:28] <Hilikus> Consult the make.log in the build directory
[22:28] <crater_fan> dew, I think so. I did install when I upgraded from 7.10 to 8.04
[22:28] <Ace2016> i mean there is an rpm but no deb
[22:29] <dew> crater_fan: well, check ;)
[22:29] <dew> crater_fan: i gotta go, but good luck ;)
[22:29] <hyphenated> Manger: best bet is to search the forum with the id number you get from lsusb
[22:29] <crater_fan> dew, okay. Thanks for the help.
[22:29] <dew> crater_fan: if you still have trouble, investigate EnvyNG
[22:29] <Fryguy--> Hilikus: so pastebin the make.log
[22:29] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: according to http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=5266&iTestingId=11957 hypercam may work well under Wine
[22:29] <Hilikus> any ideas? the log says /var/lib/dkms/nvidia/173.14.05/build/nv.c:2024: error: implicit declaration of function ‘HYPERVISOR_memory_op’
[22:29] <crater_fan> dew, okay.
[22:29] <perlsyntax> i think i have libpcap
[22:29] <hyphenated> Manger: or if you're lazy, google "ubuntu xxxx:xxxx"
[22:29] <perlsyntax> :)
[22:29] <Hilikus> Fryguy-- you want to see the whole log?
[22:30] <saba> i tried installing all of SWF player (gnash and flashplayer_nonfree) and both stops working in a day or two..
[22:30] <mithraic> A (simple?) Compiz question: How do the settings for fixed viewports in the "Place Windows" plugin work? I tried entering "X Viewport Positions" and "Y Viewport Positions" of (2,1) to specify the top row, second column, to no apparent effect.
[22:30] <Manger> k
[22:30] <nibsa1242b> snoopcat: if you can't make it work under Wine, then I suggest finding some other type of Cam software that does run in linux and using it
[22:30] <icenate001> are there any emulators for windows out there other than wine and cedega that would work for Counter strike source
[22:30] <icenate001> i mean work better for cs:source
[22:30] <mithraic> I'm pretty sure my window selector works fine, since I can enter in (e.g.) the Sticky window rules.
[22:30] <Fryguy--> Hilikus: this looks pretty helpful http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&hs=Fmu&q=nvidia+compile+error++error%3A+implicit+declaration+of+function+HYPERVISOR_memory_op&btnG=Search
[22:30] <molgrum> icenate001: wine is not an emulator
[22:30] <unop> icenate001, wine and cedega are not emulators
[22:31] <Fryguy--> icenate001: wine isn't 'an emulator, and no
[22:31] <icenate001> oh then what is wine considered
[22:31] <Fryguy--> icenate001: a compatibility layer
[22:31] <SuchtKeks> i prefer beer
[22:31] <Hilikus> Fryguy-- yep, read all of them already and nothing
[22:31] <unop> icenate001, an implementation of the win32 API
[22:31] <Bulzor> what's the difference between wine and wineX ?
[22:31] <hyphenated> icenate001: silly semantics :-)
[22:33] <molgrum> Bulzor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winex
[22:33] <unop> icenate001,  crossover  might help - not sure how well it works for games
[22:33] <nibsa1242b> icenate001: have you tried these directions http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=HOWTO+Steam ?
[22:33] <Qubed> alright, so I'm in the appearances thing, and under visual effects there's none normal and extra....what are the differences? also when my firefox was failing, it was set to none
[22:33] <w30> will wine unzip windows zipped with an .exe extension?
[22:34] <Fryguy--> w30: yes
[22:34] <w30> Fryguy--, thanks
[22:34] <hyphenated> w30: even 'unzip' should work on executable zip files
[22:34] <unop> w30, you could use unzip or cabextract to do that without the need for wine
[22:34] <WalloO> w30, yes
[22:35] <w30> wondeful
[22:35] <dr_Willis> in theory at least. :)
[22:35] <iplaythisgame> mouse keys keeps enabling, anyway to remove the option?
[22:35] <w30> wonderful/wonderfull
[22:35] <Fryguy--> w30: right the first time :)
[22:35] <dr_Willis> w30,  i imagine i could find a self extracting exe thats not using zip compression.
[22:36] <renoboy> can anyone here help me with YDL
[22:36] <Fryguy--> !ask | renoboy
[22:36] <w30> Fryguy--, never had phonecis in school; feels handicapped

[22:38] <Fryguy--> renoboy: ask a specific question, or be ignored, your choice
[22:38] <hyphenated> renoboy:you might have more luck in #yellowdog ..
[22:38] <renoboy> sorry i meant ubuntu
[22:38] <tripps> anyone know if I should recompile wine from source (installed 1.0 from source with directx.c 3d patch) after using envyng to upgrade my vid drivers?
[22:38] <nando> is there a terminal comand i can type in to get cairo dock?
[22:38] <Fryguy--> tripps: no
[22:39] <tripps> Fryguy--, ok cool thanks!
[22:39] <tomd123> nando, probably, I don't use cairo though
[22:39] <Fryguy--> nando: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CairoDock

[22:39]  * ShePoLo seLam
[22:39] <dr_Willis> renoboy,  what specifically do you need help on? PS3 users in here are rather rare.   You have read the info at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PlayStation_3   ?
[22:40] <nando> #cairo-dock-en
[22:40] <w30> nando, start cario with gui then ps aux to find what the command is
[22:40] <renoboy> i need the steps on how to get ubuntu working on my ps3
[22:40] <Fryguy--> renoboy: check this out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PlayStation_3
[22:40] <iplaythisgame> once install the command to start is cairo-dock
[22:41] <dr_Willis> renoboy,  thers guides for it -- also see http://psubuntu.com/
[22:41] <SliMM> hello
[22:41] <Fryguy--> hi SliMM
[22:41] <SliMM> Fryguy--: oh, hello again :P
[22:41] <bzaks> what packages are necessary to set up vmware-server on a 32 bit machine?
[22:41] <bzaks> I keep getting compile errors
[22:41] <iplaythisgame> nando: i had a cairo-dock version in my repos
[22:41] <Fryguy--> bzaks: link to compile errors (or just use virtualbox, which is easier to use)
[22:42] <iplaythisgame> apt-get install cairo-dock
[22:42] <SliMM> Fryguy--: do you have some advice regarding users and groups on a(n) (ubuntu) server?
[22:42] <Fryguy--> SliMM: that's pretty vague
[22:42] <icenate001> my mic is not working its a standard mic jack but everytime i use sound recorder it says configure it in multimedia settings is that under System ->preferences ->sound since i says nothing about a mic
[22:42] <bzaks> will virtualbox read an existing vm from vmware?
[22:42] <dekosx> i bought a sunbeamtech 20 in 1 card reader/controller panel and i cant get ubuntu to read it
[22:42] <saya> zô
[22:42] <Fryguy--> bzaks: unsure
[22:42] <dr_Willis> dekosx,  does it plug in to the usb port? or what exactly?
[22:43] <SliMM> Fryguy--: well, i have a svn repo, a webserver, a ssh (set up with rsa authentication :P)
[22:43] <dekosx> dr_Willis it plugs into a header on the motherboard
[22:43] <oldenglis1> I've got a sound problem. I can get sound from web pages (Pandora, etc.) but when I try to play a video file in VLC, an audio file in Rhythmbox or anything like that I get no sound.
[22:44] <SliMM> Fryguy--: I only want 4 users to be able to access the svn repository and the webserver
[22:44] <dr_Willis> dekosx,  the usb header? or some other special connector?
[22:44] <unop> dekosx, it probably is connected upto the USB bus then -- try this to see if it is listed.   sudo lsusb -v
[22:44] <Fryguy--> SliMM: svnserve has integrated authentication, and so does the webserver
[22:45] <Bulzor> Does anyone know why when I shutdown amarok and start it again it cant find the songs in the playlist anymore it says Local File Does Not Exist
[22:45] <ctx144k> hello all. is there a way to get ubuntu-server 8.04 (not version 8.04.1)?
[22:45] <Fryguy--> SliMM: not an issue of filesystem access
[22:45] <SliMM> Fryguy--: i don't really know how to set up my folders and permissions
[22:45] <nando> whats a shell?
[22:45] <dr_Willis> !shell | nando
[22:45] <SliMM> Fryguy--: what about the web server?
[22:45] <Tux2K8> hello
[22:45] <Fryguy--> nando: a command line application that manages the running of applications
[22:45] <Tux2K8> how do I add these : ACCEPT     udp  --  anywhere             anywhere            udp dpt:4672
[22:45] <Tux2K8> ACCEPT     tcp  --  anywhere             anywhere            tcp dpt:4662
[22:45] <Tux2K8> to iptables?
[22:45] <Fryguy--> SliMM: like i said, it manages permissions too, if you are using apache check out .htaccess
[22:45] <dr_Willis> nando,  terminal=shell=command line = cli = other names also. :)
[22:45] <SliMM> Fryguy--: ok, thanks
[22:46] <unop> errm, a terminal isn't the same as a shell  (being pedantic)  :)
[22:46] <Fryguy--> Tux2K8: iptables in ubuntu is set to accept everything by default
[22:46] <craigbass1976> is there a wa y without wine to get IE 6 and 7 on hardy?
[22:46] <Fryguy--> Tux2K8: if you want an interface for managing iptables, try firestarter
[22:46] <Fryguy--> craigbass1976: no
[22:46] <unop> craigbass1976, i don't think so
[22:46] <craigbass1976> bah
[22:46] <Fryguy--> craigbass1976: you could install virtualization software and install another copy of windows virtually
[22:46] <Madassasin> !nvidia
[22:46] <unop> craigbass1976, you could use something like crossover office (which is a wine offshoot)
[22:46] <mariachiac> ubuntu installtoin completes with alternate installation cd. However, when rebooting, it shows the ubuntu loading screen, then screen goes black. What's the issue?
[22:47] <craigbass1976> no no... no virtual windows
[22:47] <craigbass1976> ok. just checking
[22:47] <unop> craigbass1976, what is wrong with wine anyway?
[22:47] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: poor detection of your graphics card.  Change your drive in /etc/X11/xorg.conf to "vesa" so you can actually get the machine to come up with a gui, and then identify what video card you use, and the driver necessary for it, install the driver and be on your way
[22:47] <WalloO> craigbass1976, try reactos... maybe it can work... but in a VM
[22:48] <Tux2K8> Fryguy--:  if so , why my KAD is always firewalled in amule? (amule is in high ID)
[22:48] <craigbass1976> Just don't want it.  the only thing I'd need is IE, and I read somewhere there was a way to do it, but didn't see a reference to hardy in the docs
[22:48] <icenate001> hmm i think i found out part 1 of my sound problems the speaker wasnt pluged in... :(
[22:48] <Fryguy--> craigbass1976: you can't run internet explorer without wine. period
[22:48] <dekosx> unop http://pastebin.com/m358874e7 is the output, i cant find it on there
[22:49] <mariachiac> Friguy- can you please tell me how to accomplish this in private message?
[22:49] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: ctrl-alt-f1, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf, scroll down to your video device, change driver to vesa
[22:49] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: then sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart
[22:49] <mtx1> anyone know what would cause a black screen right after gdm loads im guessing, it happens on live cd and my installation on hd. i have been using ubuntu for 3 years now and never this problem,
[22:49] <w30> craigbass1976, there is a package called ie4lin or some such name that installs ie 6 and a wine version specially for ie 6
[22:50] <engineer> hi, i'm trying to format a pen drive but fdisk keeps telling me unable to write to partition table
[22:50] <vierranet> use gparted
[22:50] <w30> craigbass1976, search synaptic for ie or something
[22:51] <Madassasin> I'm having problems with the Nvidia binary driver. The screen goes empty after the log-in, I only see an orange background and the mouse cursor. Any ideas, please?
[22:51] <unop> dekosx, you probably will find that if you plugged in a memory stick or something else in your reader, linux'll pick it up
[22:51] <humberto_> engoneer umount pen drive
[22:51] <Fryguy--> Madassasin: if you create a new user account with adduser, does that account exhibit the same behavior
[22:51] <unop> dekosx, memory card*
[22:51] <dekosx> unop ive tried, it doesnt work
[22:51] <vierranet> yes unmount pen drive
[22:51] <humberto_> and use gparted
[22:52] <Madassasin> Fryguy--, will try
[22:52] <notclive> craigbass1976: http://www.tatanka.com.br/ies4linux/page/Main_Page this is what your thinking about, it requires wine though
[22:52] <engineer> humberto_ the pen drive is not mounted
[22:52] <mtx1> anyone know what would cause a black screen right after gdm loads im guessing, it happens on live cd and my installation on hd. i have been using ubuntu for 3 years now and never this problem, i left on vactation and came back to black screen on boot, i have tried fsck all drives with no problems??? please help
[22:52] <humberto_> sure?
[22:52] <vierranet> ok use gprted
[22:52] <humberto_> check whit gparted
[22:53] <dekosx> unop ive got an AsRock motherboard with one of their proprietary wifi headers, which doubles as a 4pin usb header, which is what ive hooked this up to
[22:53] <unop> dekosx, unplug whatever you have plugged in on the reader -- open up a terminal and issue this command.  sudo tail -f /var/log/dmesg # and then plug something into the reader -- if all goes well, you should see some activitity in the terminal
[22:53] <Jane_ux> how can I lock the position of the desktop icons in ubuntu-gnome???
[22:53] <vierranet> if you dont have gparted just sudo it
[22:53] <humberto_> sudo apt-get install gparted
[22:53] <J-a-K-e> hello, does anyone know how to setup a bass crossover for pulseaudio?
[22:54] <dekosx> unop absolutely nothing
[22:54] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> does any1 know at all how i can get my x server to be detected coz i cannot detect it while trying to install my radeon 9200 proprietery drivers . Pls is there any1 here who can help me get my x server to be detected again ?
[22:54] <Fryguy--> DroP-PsyChoSiS: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[22:55] <Jane_ux> anyway to lock the position of the desktop icons in ubuntu-gnome or the whole desktop, I av been searchin this for months :(
[22:55] <jorisslob> I have trouble getting my clock (2.22.2) on the panel to display the correct time. I am on a dual boot machine, so I changed the etc/default/rsC file so it uses the internal clock as local time, but the panel display doesn't seem to listen to that. `date` in console gives the correct time. How can I convince clock application of this setting?
[22:55] <unop> dekosx, strange, might be something to do with the wireless device as you said -- you could try chasing this up in ##hardware and/or #debian
[22:56] <BlakStone> What's a good image dupliate finder that shows a side-by-side compare?
[22:56] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> Fryguy--, i have done that what do i do when in that window do i say yes or no ?
[22:56] <unop> BlakStone, fdupes and gthumb
[22:56] <BlakStone> i left for like a couple hours and the answer someone gave me is gone out of buffer :(
[22:56] <humberto_> engineer try whit umount /media/pendrive
[22:56] <Fryguy--> DroP-PsyChoSiS: no idea
[22:56] <BlakStone> gthumb eh
[22:56] <drixomanbeta> okay i am back and installed sp2
[22:56] <unop> BlakStone, yea, should be installed by default
[22:56] <engineer> humberto_ the pen doesn't show up there
[22:57] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: service pack 2 is a windows product, how does it relate to ubuntu for you ?
[22:57] <BlakStone> fdupes is commandline isn't it?
[22:57] <drixomanbeta> anyidea how to dual boot ubuntu so i don't get a xp unmountable error..
[22:57] <jorisslob> Guides and helpfiles say that the clock should have a preference option to turn UTC off, but it doesn't
[22:57] <BlakStone> I want something that can do side-by-side and show me the pics so i can make sure they re dupes
[22:57] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: so now install ubuntu
[22:57] <unop> BlakStone, indeed
[22:57] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: to dual boot ubuntu you need to install ubuntu post wndows XP, ubuntu should handle it all for you
[22:58] <K915> wow
[22:58] <drixomanbeta> previously i did that but i got a BSOD xp unmountable erroe
[22:58] <Madassasin> Fryguy--, The new users has the same problem
[22:58] <Madassasin> *user
[22:58] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: and now you have sp2 installed, so it probably won't be an issue
[22:58] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: thats not a window or ubuntu error, can you be more specific
[22:58] <Fryguy--> Madassasin: no idea
[22:58] <kramer3d> hi, how well does ndiswrapper work vs the wireless drivers that come with ubuntu 8.04?
[22:58] <Reaper> Can you set a color blink on a chan msg with Xchat?
[22:59] <Fryguy--> ikonia: he's already been helped, he's just being stubborn
[22:59] <Reaper> You can never know when there's something written on another chans.
[22:59] <ikonia> Fryguy--: I see
[22:59] <unop> BlakStone, ok, here is something for you to consider -- if you performed a md5sum or sha1sum check on all images in a folder and you get a couple with the same checksum/hash - whats the chance that these images are not the same?
[22:59] <Reaper> With the default settings.
[22:59] <obidiah> kramer3d: it depends on your card. but in my experience, ndiswrapper is better 90% of the time
[22:59] <ikonia> Reaper: always use the native drivers if possible
[22:59] <Madassasin> Fryguy--, this also happened on opensuse 11, so how to I switch back to the nv driver?
[22:59] <kramer3d> O_O
[22:59] <kramer3d> thanks obidiah
[22:59] <obidiah> use the windows 98 driver for your card
[22:59] <Fryguy--> Madassasin: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the driver
[22:59] <Reaper> ikonia: how's that?
[22:59] <Madassasin> Fryguy ok
[22:59] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration
[22:59] <DroP-PsyChoSiS>    file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080705235837
[22:59] <DroP-PsyChoSiS>  after getting this error msg it didnt help :( can any1 else pls tell me how to get my xserver to be detected again?
[22:59] <drixomanbeta> previously i had no service pack on xp and i installed ubuntu and then i got a BSOD after i tried to load from Grub
[22:59] <ikonia> Reaper: if possible use the kernel based drivers
[23:00] <obidiah> kramered: use the windows 98 driver for your card
[23:00] <Reaper> Alrighat.
[23:00] <kramer3d> why dont they just make ndiswrapper the default :/
[23:00] <drixomanbeta> now i installed xp w/ sp2...so what's next..
[23:00] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: then you need to get the error, and report it back to we can assis
[23:00] <tomd123> unop: they are the same if the hashes work out, it would have to be a once in a lifetime thing if it does happen
[23:00] <Fryguy--> DroP-PsyChoSiS: it's detected fine, paste /var/log/Xorg.log or something
[23:00] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: you need to install ubuntu next
[23:00] <drixomanbeta> huh?
[23:00] <obidiah> kramer3d: it's a political thing
[23:00] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: you need to install ubuntu next
[23:00] <K915> hi all :]
[23:00] <ikonia> K915: hello
[23:00] <Fryguy--> kramer3d: because it involves the user of closed source non-linux proprietary drivers which is against the philosophy that ubuntu chose to adopt when picking packages to be available in the base system
[23:01] <obidiah> kramer3d: it's not politically correct from an open source ideology point of view
[23:01] <unop> tomd123, you should be telling BlakStone that -- not me :)
[23:01] <drixomanbeta> would it result in that BSOD again...?
[23:01] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: no
[23:01] <tomd123> unop: whoops, I mean blackstone
[23:01] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: no, and if it does get the exact error and report it back
[23:01] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: stop being stubborn and just go install
[23:01] <obidiah> kramer3d: but in practice you end up using ndiswrapper for the wireless card and the proprietary driver for video
[23:01] <drixomanbeta> okay...
[23:01] <Lyk4n> A guy is getting windows support in here, lol..
[23:01] <ikonia> Lyk4n: no he's not
[23:01] <Fryguy--> Lyk4n: no
[23:01] <lymeca> .join #rt2x00
[23:02] <tomd123> Lyk4n = fail
[23:02] <obidiah> Lyk4n: ndiswrapper allows you to use a windows .inf file to run a wireless card
[23:02] <Fryguy--> yawn i'm tired
[23:02] <Madassasin> Is anyone able to help with the nvidia proprietary driver? After I log in, all I see in a mouse cursor with an orange background 0.0. Ideas, please?
[23:03] <ikonia> Madassasin: does the problem go away if you switch to something such as nv or vesa
[23:03] <Lyk4n> I know that, I came in after he said he has just installed service pack 2 for XP and was asking for what to do next..
[23:03] <Madassasin> ikonia, yea, nv works
[23:03] <Lyk4n> Sorry if I misunderstood, that's when I came in..
[23:03] <ikonia> Madassasin: so it is driver speciic
[23:03] <Lyk4n> my mistake..
[23:03] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> Fryguy--, http://pastebin.com/m48572389
[23:03] <Madassasin> ikonia, yep, but I need that driver for hardware acceleration :(
[23:03] <ikonia> Madassasin: what driver version and what card do you have
[23:04] <Madassasin> ikonia, I'm not usre 'bout driver version, it's the latests available in the repositories (including backports and proposed), but my card is 8800GT
[23:04] <kramer3d> how do i find out what wireless card i have?
[23:04] <drixomanbeta> so now i'm at the partition screen...
[23:04] <Fryguy--> DroP-PsyChoSiS: no errors, i dont' see what the problem is, sorry
[23:04] <tomd123> kramer3d, if its pci, do lspci and find it
[23:04] <ikonia> Madassasin: have you always had this problem with the drivers
[23:04] <kramer3d> kk
[23:04] <drixomanbeta> do i create a new logical or primary partition?
[23:05] <obidiah> kramer3d: in a shell, enter the command: 'lspci -vvv'
[23:05] <jorisslob> Ok, fixed it with gconf-editor
[23:05] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: primary
[23:05] <obidiah> also do lsusb
[23:05] <Madassasin> ikonia, sorta, I had it on opensuse 11 as well and I scrapepd it for ubuntu
[23:05] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: thats up to you, partition as you see fit, but keep it as simple as possible
[23:05] <Madassasin> ikonia, but on gutsy I didn't
[23:05] <drixomanbeta> what's the mount point for the ntfs and the new partition?
[23:05] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> the prob is that it wont detect the xserver while trying to install my proprietry radeon 9200 drivers
[23:05] <ikonia> Madassasin: looks like it's worth logging a bug with nvidia then
[23:06] <ikonia> Madassasin: try the "nvidia-glx" package then, or the nvidia-glx-new, see how they behave differently
[23:06] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: new mount point should be /, leave the ntfs one default
[23:06] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: don't set that up at install
[23:06] <Madassasin> ikonia, I'll try
[23:06] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: pretty much every screen is going to be default
[23:06] <obidiah> kramer3d: once you get the pci id for your wireless card, you can google it
[23:06] <ikonia> Madassasin: just for interests sake
[23:06] <mariachiac> Fryguy-- once I've done the commands you've specified for hte video card. Will i have ot install the drivers?
[23:06] <Madassasin> ikonia, ok, rebooting
[23:06] <DroP-PsyChoSiS> Fryguy--,  http://pastebin.com/m108c1fdd
[23:06] <obidiah> kramer3d: and you can look at the list of drivers recommened at ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net
[23:06] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: what commands
[23:07] <drixomanbeta> do i need a swap space and it being primary or logical?
[23:07] <grgs_> hello ... I need your help
[23:07] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: yes you need swap, probably make it logical
[23:07] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: you can only have primay partitions of 4 or less
[23:07] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: should be able the same size as your ram
[23:07] <Fryguy--> !ask | grgs_
[23:08] <grgs_> ok
[23:08] <Fryguy--> DroP-PsyChoSiS: like i said, no idea
[23:08] <mariachiac> ctrl-alt-f1, sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf, scroll down to your video device, change driver to vesa _Mart_
[23:08] <mariachiac> then sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart _rp
[23:08] <Fryguy--> !fglrx | DroP-PsyChoSiS
[23:08] <Fryguy--> mariachiac: yah, no driver install needed, vesa is always there
[23:09] <mariachiac> ok
[23:09] <Bora> hello, any way to rename a new installed hard drive?
[23:09] <ikonia> Bora: what do you mean, rename ?
[23:10] <drixomanbeta> okay do i leave the boot loader option as it is ?
[23:10] <Bora> I want to have my hard drive name to be Bora on > computer
[23:10] <ikonia> Bora: change the label
[23:10] <Fryguy--> drixomanbeta: put it in /dev/sda
[23:10] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: leave it at default for the installer
[23:10] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: don't change anything
[23:11] <grgs_> I install gutsy ubuntu version and i have problem to HUAWEI E220 3G Modem. The problem is that there is in / dev the ttyUSB0 or ttyUSB1. Any Idea?
[23:11] <drixomanbeta> what
[23:11] <opt1k> hey, what do I have to do to forward ports so i can get my torrent running?
[23:11] <Bora> where to change? i try to right-click and select rename, but it says something about backend not supported
[23:11] <drixomanbeta> i got two guy telling me differnet procedure...
[23:11] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: select the default options for the boot loader
[23:11] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: no you've not
[23:11] <Fryguy--> opt1k: ubuntu runs with a firewall rule to enable everything.  consult your router documentation for how to forward ports on your router
[23:11] <drixomanbeta> the default on my is (hd0)
[23:11] <ikonia> Bora: what file system is on it
[23:11] <ikonia> drixomanbeta: thats fine
[23:11] <drixomanbeta> is that it?
[23:12] <drixomanbeta> okay...
[23:12] <unop> BlakStone, you still here?
[23:12] <Bora> ikonia: i thing it is ex2
[23:12] <opt1k> Fryguy-- I did that, but what service name do I have to put to forward ports for torrents? www? https? i don't get it
[23:12] <Fryguy--> opt1k: the service name doesn't matter it's the port you want to forward, and all torrent clients support running on a different port
[23:13] <Fryguy--> opt1k: consult your router documentation, it's not an ubuntu problem
[23:13] <opt1k> Fryguy--: btw, where can i change the settings to ubuntu firewall, and tx for this one
[23:13] <Fryguy--> opt1k: edit iptables rules manually, if you need a gui, try firestarter
