[03:28] <snipex> what do i write in terminal ?
[03:28] <snipex> to start clamav
[03:28] <pha|con> snipex: if you're using linux you don't really need an AV
[03:28] <nick78> hey tony nsplugin wrapper script worked like a charm ty again
[03:28] <gordonjcp> 0ye
[03:28] <snipex> well thats a bit too l8
[03:28] <pha|con> snipex: as long as you're not logged in as root you should be fine
[03:28] <snipex> i did what i did
[03:29] <snipex> so how do i start clamav ?
[03:29] <DanSmir123> /quit: Later
[03:29] <gordonjcp> snipex: what are you using clamav for?  are you running a mail server?
[03:29] <snipex> no
[03:29] <snipex> im running a desktop
[03:29] <snipex> isnt clamav like kaspersky ?
[03:29] <gordonjcp> snipex: ok, so what's the virus scanner for?
[03:29] <gnomefreak> snipex: its in menu or run clamav in terminal should run it as well
[03:29] <snipex> i scan my comp with it
[03:29] <gnomefreak> snipex: its a virus scanner
[03:29] <gordonjcp> snipex: why?
[03:29] <snipex> well
[03:29] <snipex> to delete viruses
[03:29] <Menisk_> snipex: There are 40 or o viruses for linux, and you need to be a retard to get one.
[03:30] <gordonjcp> snipex: have you got viruses?
[03:30] <gnomefreak> snipex: there arnt really any to worry about
[03:30] <snipex> not now
[03:30] <snipex> but if i get them
[03:30] <Menisk_> snipex: You won't.
[03:30] <snipex> how r u sure ?
[03:30] <pha|con> snipex: chances are so close to zero that you'll get one that it may as well be zero
[03:30] <snipex> and if i do ?
[03:30] <gnomefreak> snipex: use menu item or trun from terminal
[03:30] <snipex> where from menu
[03:30] <gnomefreak> guys it doesnt matter why he wants it
[03:30] <gordonjcp> snipex: hang on, are you trying to scan your windows or linux drive for viruses?
[03:30] <snipex> hm
[03:31] <Menisk_> snipex: Linux is not like windows, it is secure. The only way you can get one is if you run a executable called "this is a virus" as root.
[03:31] <snipex> linux
[03:31] <gnomefreak> snipex: well that would depend on what desktop your using but under system i think
[03:31] <gordonjcp> snipex: waste of time then
[03:31] <snipex> im just trying to start clamav so im sure if it ll work later !!!
[03:31] <chadeldridg1> is there a channel for openoffice support ?
[03:31] <Ausicaemia> What's wrong with having it? Doesn't matter why.
[03:31] <gordonjcp> snipex: clamav is mostly for scanning mail for viruses so that Windows machines don't get infected
[03:31] <Gothfunc> i have ubuntu server 6.10.  i did sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop which went fine.  i reboot and X does not start.  i try 'startx' and there is no such command.  is that normal?
[03:31] <snipex> hey ppl
[03:31] <gordonjcp> Gothfunc: running X on a server is madness
[03:31] <snipex> i know what av is
[03:31] <snipex> just tell me command to start it
[03:31] <gnomefreak> Gothfunc: thats a fasle statement and remember it doesnt matter why he wants it
[03:32] <nick78> hey snipex
[03:32] <gnomefreak> snipex: i did already
[03:32] <Gothfunc> gordonjcp: why?
[03:32] <snipex> rly i didnt see
[03:32] <gordonjcp> snipex: sorry, I don't know what the command is.  I've never used a virus scanner.
[03:32] <Gothfunc> gnomefreak: did you mean to address gordonjcp?
[03:32] <gnomefreak> Gothfunc: yes sorry
[03:32] <Gothfunc> :)
[03:32] <snipex> what nick
[03:32] <chadeldridg1> !openoffice
[03:32] <ubotu> a free and open source office suite, including word processor, spreadsheet, presentation, vector drawing and database components.  To install: "sudo apt-get install openoffice.org". User help available in #users.openoffice.org
[03:32] <defrysk> snipex, its something like clamscan /path/to/somefolder iIrc
[03:32] <gordonjcp> Gothfunc: well, X is for desktoppy things
[03:32] <gordonjcp> mainly
[03:32] <gnomefreak> chadeldridg1: ask your question if someone knows they will answer you
[03:33] <Gothfunc> gordonjcp: and?
[03:33] <gnomefreak> snipex: are you on dapper edgy feisty?
[03:33] <snipex> dapper
[03:33] <snipex> LTS
[03:33] <gordonjcp> Gothfunc: it's not really necessary on a server
[03:33] <gnomefreak> snipex: gnome?
[03:33] <Ausicaemia> Anybody know if there is a way to hide all the icons on a GNOME desktop? So that only the wallpaper is showing?
[03:33] <snipex> yh
[03:33] <gnomefreak> snipex: log out and back in again
[03:33] <omha> hey i have a problem with my sound, first there is only sound in the headphones second is that i can hear the bing when ubuntu login screen comes op but my sound does not work when i try to play media for example xmms pops up saying "please check that: you sound card is configured properly You have...."
[03:33] <Gothfunc> gordonjcp: i want to configure ldap stuff via a gui
[03:33] <snipex> u mean restart ?
[03:33] <gnomefreak> snipex: should than be in menu
[03:34] <snipex> ok
[03:34] <BadRobot>  hi there how can i install Ubuntustudio via command line?
[03:34] <gnomefreak> snipex: no just log out
[03:34] <snipex> hoq do i do that
[03:34] <paradroid> Hi all. I just finished the dist-upgrade to 7.04 using the alternate CD. It all worked out fine, all settings seem to have been conserved, apps running, etc. BUT ;) I get a xsession error when I log in to my profile.
[03:34] <snipex> srry im new to linux i used windows 4 dys ago
[03:34] <gnomefreak> snipex: system>quit than log out
[03:34] <defrysk> Ausicaemia, easiest is to install gtweakui for tweaks like that
[03:34] <pike_> Ausicaemia: for in in `ls ~/Desktop`;do mv $i .$i; done maybe ;p
[03:34] <Gothfunc> anyway#
[03:34] <Ausicaemia> ThankyoU!
[03:34] <Ausicaemia> God, I've been asking for like an hour.
[03:34] <pike_> Ausicaemia: err..for i in
[03:34] <Gothfunc> why would install ubuntu-desktop not work?
[03:34] <paradroid> Despite that error I can use my system. If I log in using a guest account I have set up on my machine which has hardly any customisations I do NOT get the xsession error. Any ideas?
[03:34] <mat1980> Gothfunc: no, I think it's not normal. is xserver-xorg installed?
[03:34] <Ausicaemia> Thanks guys, haha.
[03:35] <pha|con> Gothfunc: if you want to admin a server via gui try webmin
[03:35] <pha|con> Gothfunc: low impact and you don't have to muck about with X
[03:35] <Bokeh> webmin :x
[03:35] <snipex> so
[03:35] <Vich> BadRobot -> how did you install it in the first place?
[03:35] <pha|con> heh
[03:36] <snipex> where do i find clamav now ?
[03:36] <Gothfunc> pha|con: the howtos i have found are not for webmin, they are for gnome
[03:36] <gnomefreak> snipex: now it should be in menu, i dont have it installed but should be there
[03:36] <snipex> what menu
[03:36] <pha|con> ahhh
[03:36] <Gothfunc> mat1980: looking
[03:36] <gnomefreak> snipex: applications than system tools i think
[03:36] <snipex> it aint
[03:36] <gnomefreak> snipex: just look through the menus
[03:36] <snipex> i did
[03:36] <omha> i get these errors http://pastebin.com/936746
[03:36] <Bassetts> is it possible to edit the Places menu
[03:36] <snipex> it aint there
[03:36] <snipex> did u see when i wrote
[03:36] <gnomefreak> snipex: did you since you logged back in?
[03:37] <snipex> that i got error
[03:37] <Gothfunc> mat1980: no it isn't.. heh
[03:37] <Bokeh> seriously, recommending webmin to people is like recommending a trolley to a paralized person... it works, but you don't really want to use it on a daily basis
[03:37] <gnomefreak> snipex: what error?
[03:37] <IdleOne> snipex, you might have to add it to the Applications menu but in the mean time you can type clamav in terminal to start it up
[03:37] <snipex> dunno
[03:37] <gnomefreak> snipex: how do you know you got an error than?
[03:37] <snipex> but it was error 4 sure
[03:37] <gnomefreak> snipex: what did it say?
[03:37] <Darii> hi, is there any way to disable these annoying WinXP-like balloon-tooltips at the system-tray?
[03:37] <snipex> applications could not be installed
[03:37] <snipex> hey i know what error is !!!!
[03:37] <Gothfunc> mat1980: installing now :)
[03:37] <mat1980> Gothfunc: well, I guess it's quite hard it could start. :)
[03:37] <gnomefreak> snipex: what did you do just before you got that?
[03:38] <Nutubuntu> Hm ... would troubleshooting a pagefault (in Firefox) be worthwhile? or should I ignore it unless it keeps happening?
[03:38] <snipex> chat here
[03:38] <Bassetts> is it possible to edit the Places menu
[03:38] <Gothfunc> mat1980: not sure why it wasn't installed as a dependancy
[03:38] <gnomefreak> snipex: are you sure you installed it?
[03:38] <snipex> yes
[03:38] <snipex> wait a lil ill check if it even got installed
[03:38] <gnomefreak> snipex: open a terminal and type clamav
[03:38] <jrib> Bassetts: you can add places if you create a bookmark in nautilus
[03:38] <snipex> i did
[03:38] <snipex> unknown command
[03:38] <quintessance> I just updated for the first time in months and, upon restarting my computer, I can't log in. Briefly cuts to a weird text interface then back to the log in screen. I think my disk space might be exhausted but can't use the "Failsafe" Terminal to remove anything
[03:38] <defrysk> snipex, type clamscan
[03:39] <gnomefreak> snipex: than i dont think its fully installed
[03:39] <quintessance> Any suggestions short of downloading the LiveCD?
[03:39] <Bassetts> jrib, ubuntu has added two folders to the places menu that i dont want there
[03:39] <jrib> Bassetts: which ones
[03:39] <snipex> clamscan works
[03:39] <mat1980> Gothfunc: don't forget to install xserver-xorg-video-xxx where xxx is the driver you need. If you don't know which, install xserver-xorg-video-all
[03:39] <defrysk> snipex, good
[03:39] <paradroid> Hi all. I just finished the dist-upgrade to 7.04 using the alternate CD. It all worked out fine, all settings seem to have been conserved, apps running, etc. BUT ;) I get a xsession error when I log in to my profile. Despite that error I can use my system. If I log in using a guest account I have set up on my machine which has hardly any customisations I do NOT get the xsession error. Any ideas? http://pastebin.com/936748
[03:39] <BadRobot> i haven't ,i want to install it?I've installed Ubuntu via cd Vich
[03:39] <Bassetts> Dowloads and Documents, jrib
[03:39] <gnomefreak> defrysk: cheater
[03:39] <snipex> ***  This version of the ClamAV engine is outdated.  ***
[03:39] <snipex> LibClamAV Warning: *** DON'T PANIC! Read http://www.clamav.net/faq.html ***
[03:39] <Gothfunc> mat1980: sure ok
[03:40] <defrysk> gnomefreak, ;p
[03:40] <snipex> version of clamav engine is outdated
[03:40] <cylent77> in xchat how do you reveal the user list mine is not appearing
[03:40] <gnomefreak> snipex: dont panic and read http://www.clamav.net/faq.html
[03:40] <snipex> lol
[03:40] <cylent77> oh nvm
[03:40] <Bassetts> jrib, Downloads was a bookmark, but Documents is fixed there
[03:41] <jrib> Bassetts: yeah someone asked this once.  It's an ubuntu (debian?) patch to nautilus.  The only way to make it not do that is either call the folder something other than "Documents" or to rebuild the package without the patch
[03:41] <snipex> im unninstalling it
[03:41] <gnomefreak> snipex: iirc we dont backport clamav so the version with dapper will stay that version if you want newer install feisty or compile it if you cant find someone that has already
[03:41] <mat1980> Gothfunc: oh.. you even need fonts. metapackage xorg could be easier to install. It will install everything you need, I believe.
[03:42] <Bassetts> jrib, ok, ill just make my folders lowercase, its the linux way anyway
[03:42] <clie5> hello
[03:42] <snipex> ppl
[03:42] <clie5> can you hear me, people?
[03:42] <snipex> u say there is no need for AV on linux ?
[03:42] <clie5> I can't eject my CD from the disc drive.
[03:43] <Gothfunc> mat1980: ok, thanks
[03:43] <paradroid> clie5: Are you trying to eject it by pressing the drive button?
[03:43] <quintessance> I just updated for the first time in months and, upon restarting my computer, I can't log in. Briefly cuts to a weird text interface then back to the log in screen. I think my disk space might be exhausted but can't use the "Failsafe" Terminal to remove anything. Any suggestions short of downloading the LiveCD?
[03:43] <paradroid> clie5: Or are you using the dialogue "Eject" via context-menu?
[03:43] <clie5> It says: "unmount: only bobby can unmount /dev/hda from /media/cdrom0. But the problem is that I've deleted the bobby user account already. oh no
[03:43] <mat1980> clie5: tried with sudo umount?
[03:44] <polyergic> How do I tell X-Chat where to store my logs?
[03:44] <clie5> mat1980, how exactly do i do that? what is the command?
[03:44] <defrysk> omg they killed bobby
[03:44] <IdleOne> snipex, it's not that there is no need it's just that 99%of viruses are written for windows and the few that are for linux you must be very very stupid to get
[03:44] <mike3_> omg they killed kenny!
[03:44] <paradroid> Oops
[03:44] <snipex> oh
[03:45] <snipex> extensions r different why didnt i remember it
[03:45] <mat1980> clie5: sudo umount mountpoint
[03:45] <snipex> any1 knows mp4 to mp3 converter ?
[03:45] <defrysk> sudo umount /media/cdrom0
[03:45] <snipex> or mp4 player ?
[03:45] <clie5> mat1980, thanks!
[03:46] <IdleOne> snipex, just practice common sense and dont download everything you see. if you didnt iniate the installation of an application then dont allow it. if you didnt innitiate the download then dont accep the file....
[03:46] <snipex> idle
[03:46] <snipex> althrough i dont know extensions exactly
[03:46] <snipex> what extension do pics have in linux ?
[03:46] <RedPlantain> whatever you give them
[03:47] <IdleOne> .jpeg .jpg .gif same as windows
[03:47] <snipex> oh
[03:47] <quintessance> How do you cut straight to the terminal before the log-in screen presents itself?
[03:47] <Vich> sorry BadRobot, I misread you
[03:47] <snipex> .exe is .deb ?
[03:47] <clie5> hello, does anyone have quick access to a windows (98/xp/wista) computer?
[03:47] <IdleOne> snipex, no
[03:47] <TehDarkLiquid> extensions are merely for file identification
[03:47] <Vich> ubuntu studio is a standalone version of ubuntu
[03:47] <snipex> aaaaw
[03:48] <clie5> I have a windows file that I need to extract from. if you can help, please let me know
[03:48] <Igr> How do i open .EXE files with UBUNTU
[03:48] <snipex> what extensions do viruses on linux have
[03:48] <snipex> igr u need emulator
[03:48] <Gothfunc> clie5: what file?
[03:48] <defrysk> snipex, .virus
[03:48] <Igr> Snipex: how do i get?
[03:48] <TehDarkLiquid> exe files are windows binaries
[03:48] <quintessance> Igr: Wine will sometimes work.
[03:48] <TehDarkLiquid> they aren
[03:48] <snipex> well
[03:48] <TehDarkLiquid> they aren't written to execute on a linux kernel
[03:48] <snipex> google win4lin
[03:48] <clie5> Gothfunc, it's a file for my PDA's keyboard.
[03:48] <TehDarkLiquid> you need WINE
[03:48] <Igr> How do i get WINE
[03:48] <clie5> Gothfunc, could you kindly help
[03:48] <Vich> BadRobot: not sure you can update your standard ubuntu to ubuntu studio, but you can certainly install all the packages it has
[03:48] <Gothfunc> clie5: what extension?
[03:48] <clie5> exe
[03:48] <snipex> defrysk i aint joking
[03:49] <Nutubuntu> Firefox seems very unstable. Pagefaults, crashes X ... what's up with that?
[03:49] <Gothfunc> clie5: wine, vmware, qemu, virtualbox?
[03:49] <defrysk> snipex, you will have to learn to forget the windows way in linux
[03:49] <Vich> BadRobot: perhaps you should ask in #ubuntustudio
[03:49] <snipex> defrysk !!!!
[03:49] <clie5> i'm really not familiar with any of those. I'm pretty fresh to ubuntu.
[03:49] <pha|con> Igr: sudo apt-get install wine
[03:49] <snipex> i am still learning
[03:49] <Gothfunc> clie5: www.virtualbox.com
[03:49] <Igr> ive done that
[03:49] <snipex> and i know quite alot for a 4 day ubuntu user !!!
[03:49] <Igr> what should i do now?
[03:49] <quintessance> How do I get to terminal if "Failsafe Terminal" doesn't work on log-in screen?
[03:49] <Gothfunc> oops
[03:49] <defrysk> snipex, lesson one : forget windows thoughts and ways
[03:49] <Gothfunc> clie5: www.virtualbox.org
[03:49] <Gothfunc> ignore first url
[03:50] <snipex> defrysk : what extensions can contain virus ?
[03:50] <pha|con> Igr: after it's installed you run the .exe file from the command line....  wine filename.exe
[03:50] <Gothfunc> clie5: you can install windows on that
[03:50] <defrysk> snipex, I have no idea,
[03:50] <Gothfunc> clie5: and it'll run within your ubuntu installation
[03:50] <Igr> Its more program working for windows than linux
[03:50] <clie5> Gothfunc, i don't want to install window-
[03:50] <supremesonic> snipex, lesson 2, be happy with your os. And let it be happy with you.
[03:50] <clie5> Gothfunc, i just want to extract a file from this file
[03:50] <Gothfunc> clie5: i believe it's in the ubuntu repositories
[03:50] <pha|con> snipex: it doesn't have to have an extension
[03:50] <IdleOne> snipex, here the thing there is no Windows = Linux way of doing things. Windows does it's thing in it's own way and Linux does it in a completly different way so trying to match things up like saying this in windows = this in linux is not going to help you
[03:50] <snipex> aaaargh
[03:51] <pha|con> snipex: in linux files don't have to have extensions to be executed
[03:51] <quintessance> IdleOne: Although there is much overlap
[03:51] <mat1980> snipex: don't rely on extensions.
[03:51] <clie5> i would prefer not to install any virtual stuff.
[03:51] <Vich> defrysk: how to access msdos in ubuntu?
[03:51] <snipex> so
[03:51] <Gothfunc> clie5: you will probably need windows again, might as well have it available
[03:51] <Igr> Why is it more computers using Windows than Linux?
[03:51] <snipex> i can get virus from every file then
[03:51] <Vich> defrysk: and where the hell is internet explorer
[03:51] <snipex> because bill gates is evil
[03:51] <kel39ru> hey, guys, does it matter where the swap partition is on, primary or logical?:)
[03:51] <supremesonic> gothfunc, for what?
[03:51] <pha|con> Igr: because windows comes pre-installed on most computers.
[03:51] <Igr> yes
[03:51] <Igr> but
[03:51] <mike3_> Igr, Why would you asked something like that. ;)
[03:51] <quintessance> Can anyone read what I'm typing?
[03:51] <Nutubuntu> quintessance, yes
[03:51] <IdleOne> quintessance, there is but better to forget what you know about windows and learn the linux way then go back to what you remeber in windows
[03:51] <Vich> Igr: pre-built computers, tradition, software/hardware compatability
[03:51] <Igr> why is it more programs to windows
[03:51] <mike3_> quintessance, of course
[03:51] <mat1980> snipex: Bill Gates is not evil, but yes you can get viruses with all files.
[03:52] <pha|con> Igr: because more people have windows
[03:52] <clie5> is there anybody here who either has quick access to windows or virtualbox/wine (as Gothfunc says)?
[03:52] <snipex> because it is more widely used
[03:52] <snipex> mat
[03:52] <Igr> ...
[03:52] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: mostly contextual things
[03:52] <Vich> Bill Gates is actually a philanthropist
[03:52] <snipex> microsucks
[03:52] <pha|con> Igr: basically it's a case of where the money is
[03:52] <snipex> is web
[03:52] <Igr> Daemon tools doesnt work for linux.
[03:52] <snipex> and
[03:52] <snipex> check it
[03:52] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: like for graphic designers, it's adobe photoshop
[03:52] <pha|con> Igr: you don't need daemon tools for linux
[03:52] <cbo78> hi, is anybody having problem with syslog not logging remote message?
[03:52] <Igr> lol u dont?
[03:52] <ZeZu> this #windowsbashing ?
[03:52] <quintessance> Cool. So how can I get to the terminal if "failsafe terminal" isn't working and I can't log in. Can I press a key on startup to go straight to terminal?
[03:52] <supremesonic> gothfunc, I never use windows anymore. I use wine for some stuff yes but what I can't use I wont use.
[03:52] <Gothfunc> Igr: linux doesn't need daemon tools? :P
[03:52] <Igr> :P
[03:52] <Igr> ok
[03:52] <Vich> no ZeZu!
[03:52] <Igr> nice

[03:52] <snipex> ah
[03:52] <pha|con> Igr: no, if you want to mount an iso just type sudo mount -t iso9660 -o loop filename.iso /mnt in the command line
[03:52] <snipex> forget microsucks
[03:53] <Igr> okok
[03:53] <Vich> lol defrysk
[03:53] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: for some people it's impossible to not use windows for SOME things
[03:53] <supremesonic> gothfunc, if it don't follow a little *nix standard I simple want use it.
[03:53] <pha|con> Igr: if it's not an .iso you can convert it to one with any number of programs
[03:53] <clie5> is anybody here currently on windows?
[03:53] <jrib> snipex and others: please move the windows vs. linux talk to #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:53] <defrysk> Vich, not lol , its a businessmodel
[03:53] <Igr> yes but in the iso file it is .EXE fiels.
[03:53] <kel39ru> so, can anyone tell me plz is it no difference where the swap is on, primary or logical partition? -.-
[03:53] <Igr> files
[03:53] <clie5> Is anybody here currently using virtualbox or wine, etc?
[03:53] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: such as the graphic designer example
[03:53] <rsl> Howdy, kittens.
[03:53] <jrib> !anybody | clie5
[03:53] <quintessance> clie5: I'm on a friend's Windows machine to sort out my Ubuntu machine.
[03:53] <Music_Shuffle> clie5, ##winehq?
[03:53] <pha|con> Igr: then you run the .exe file with wine
[03:53] <Igr> ok
[03:53] <Igr> ill test
[03:53] <supremesonic> gothfunc, aDOPE photoshop? hmm what about gimp. Might not be as good as aDOPE photoshop but it is almost. And its improving fastly.
[03:53] <ubotu> clie5: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[03:53] <rsl> What's the eclipse-platform [not eclipse itself]  in Synaptic?
[03:53] <pha|con> Igr: but you have to check the the compatibilty list to see if it will even run.
[03:53] <clie5> quintessance, could you help with a quick thing?
[03:54] <Vich> defrysk, you have to ask yourself whether it is better Bill Gates donate money to charities or avoid tax another way
[03:54] <Nutubuntu> t/y jrib
[03:54] <adrian_> hi
[03:54] <quintessance> Ask away
[03:54] <Vich> I mean, he could just pay taxes with the money saved from charities
[03:54] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: it's SIGNIFICANTLY worse than adobe ps
[03:54] <mat1980> snipex: however extensions in Linux doesn't mean anything. Usually programs doesn't care about extension, they use other approach to find the type of a file.
[03:54] <IdleOne> !offtopic | Vich
[03:54] <ubotu> Vich: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:54] <adrian_> may i ask a question?
[03:54] <snipex> mat come to #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:54] <IdleOne> adrian_, ask
[03:54] <Nutubuntu> !ask |adrian
[03:54] <ubotu> adrian: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[03:54] <Igr> How did u say that i should write?
[03:55] <Vich> huh?
[03:55] <pha|con> snipex: usually programs in linux check the file's header to see if it's a compatible file-type
[03:55] <Vich> what was that?
[03:55] <supremesonic> gothfunc, nope its not,
[03:55] <defrysk> Vich, his institute gives a dime to receive a dollar
[03:55] <Igr> wine run  thefile.exe?
[03:55] <clie5> quintessance, i need to get a file for my pda, but the CD that came with it has only an exe file. i think that if we ran it on windows, we can extract a prc file that i can install in linux. can you check it out?
[03:55] <adrian_> do you know of any good windows emulators to use when playing poker online?
[03:55] <jrib> Vich: because it is so busy, this channel is only for ubuntu support, you can discuss other things in #ubuntu-offtopic.  Thanks
[03:55] <pha|con> Igr: in command line type wine filename.exe
[03:55] <rsl> Anyone here ever install eclipse-platform?
[03:55] <cbo78>  hi, is anybody having problems with syslog not logging remote message?
[03:55] <Gothfunc> adrian_: best is to get a dedicated poker machine with windows xp on it.  pokertracker and such don't run well on virtualisations
[03:55] <Vich> jrib, where others removed for contributing to that conversation?
[03:55] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: there's another example
[03:56] <Frogzoo> cbo78: you need to log @ the priority
[03:56] <Igr> how do i get WINE?
[03:56] <quintessance> Could you upload the exe to a one-click uploaded?
[03:56] <Frogzoo> !wine
[03:56] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[03:56] <adrian_> crap
[03:56] <quintessance> *uploader
[03:56] <Vich> Igr -> apt-get ?
[03:56] <pha|con> Igr: i already told you.... sudo apt-get install wine
[03:56] <Igr> ok
[03:56] <supremesonic> gothfunc, yes?
[03:56] <Frogzoo> Igr: don't use the ubuntu wine repo which is dated, use the budgetdedicated repo mentioned in the ubuntu wiki doc
[03:56] <ZeroA4> Gothfunc, are not you just lost in Gimp cos the diferent names ands menus ?
[03:56] <cbo78> my router sends log via UDP to my ubuntu machine
[03:56] <Vich> pha|con -> is there an alternative to daemon tools in ubuntu?
[03:56] <Igr>  /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-2.6.20-16-generic_2.6.20-16.29_i386.deb
[03:56] <Igr> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[03:56] <Gothfunc> adrian_: alternatively, you can run pokertracker on linux if you google, but you are limited to pokerrooms that work on wine then
[03:56] <pha|con> Vich: not that i know of, but i've never had a need for one, so there may be.
[03:56] <bronze> !fonts
[03:56] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[03:56] <Gothfunc> ZeroA4: i'm sure
[03:57] <mat1980> clie5: try to attach the pda to te pc. If it uses the usb mass storage standard there is no need to install anything. In any case I guess that exe is useless in Linux.
[03:57] <morpheus> anybody know any warehouse apps for linux/php, I've scoured sourceforge but nothing there that fits the bill
[03:57] <supremesonic> gothfunc, there is almost always alternatives to windows/mac programs for linux. But not always.
[03:57] <cbo78> I changed the syslog.conf
[03:57] <cbo78> local7.*			/var/log/routerlinksys7.log
[03:57] <adrian_> ok
[03:57] <Igr> It doesnt work,.
[03:57] <Vich> pha|con, I tend to dump cds to images and burn them later
[03:57] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: i know, and i'm very appreciative of this fact.  yet gimp doesn't even come close to adobe products like ps and illustrator
[03:57] <ZeroA4> Gothfunc, there is an mod for Gimp. that changes layout and names of menu to the same of PS...
[03:57] <clie5> mat1980, the exe file is not for desktop software.
[03:57] <quintessance> clie5: Once you've done that, message me the URL.
[03:57] <Vich> and rather than burn a disc, sometimes I would like to browse it
[03:58] <cbo78> and sysklogd
[03:58] <cbo78> SYSLOGD="-u syslog -r"
[03:58] <pha|con> Vich: if you save them as .iso then you don't need anything like daemon tools.  linux can mount .iso natively
[03:58] <adrian_> one more question, if you dont mind?
[03:58] <clie5> quintessance, message you the file?
[03:58] <Gothfunc> adrian_: just ask
[03:58] <mat1980> clie5: can't understand what you mean.
[03:58] <supremesonic> gothfunc, Im sure you can do the 99.99% of the same in gimp as you can in adobe ps, however I don't know about illustrator I have never used it.
[03:58] <Vich> cool pha|con, thanks
[03:58] <clie5> quintessance, ok. pls hold on
[03:58] <quintessance> Upload it to a one-click uploader? Can you transfer files on FreeNode?
[03:58] <clie5> quintessance, i'll find a place to upload.
[03:58] <kane77> Vich, and if you have .bin or something else there are little programs to convert them...
[03:58] <clie5> quintessance, no
[03:58] <quintessance> Ok
[03:59] <Vich> inkscape > illustrator
[03:59] <kane77> Vich, look for bin2iso
[03:59] <pha|con> Vich: yeah, like kane77 says.  i believe there's bin2iso and nrg2iso, etc
[03:59] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: i have encountered things that can't be done in gimp that can in ps.  i also have encountered things that are done differently.  so sure, for an amateur designer this is fine, but when you need the industry standard, it's not
[03:59] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: i wish adobe would release products for linux tbh
[03:59] <Vich> kane77, pha|con -> that's awesome, because I have multiple image formats
[03:59] <Frogzoo> Gothfunc: all a matter of time
[03:59] <Vich> thanks kane77 and once again pha|con
[04:00] <adrian_> i am used to red hat on my school, and there the window you are in is the one where the mouse are, but ubuntu seems to be set like windows, the active window is the top one, do you know how i set it to work the same way as red hat?
[04:00] <Gothfunc> Frogzoo :)
[04:00] <Igr> I cant install WINE :(
[04:00] <gdi2k> I'm implementing some disk usage quotas for some users. However, I'm having a hard time figuring out how to have the server notify the users when they're approaching or exceeding their limits. anyone got a clue?
[04:00] <Igr> doesnt work
[04:00] <pha|con> Vich: just search in synaptic for whatever types you need to convert
[04:00] <Frogzoo> Igr: sure you can
[04:00] <Igr> How?
[04:00] <jrib> adrian_: system -> preferences -> windows
[04:00] <quintessance> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/35217 - this is my problem, except I can't use the failsafe terminal. Any suggestions?
[04:00] <Igr> doesnt work
[04:00] <dr_willis> adrian_,  you mean 'activate window on mouse over'
[04:00] <chadeldridge> I know this should go to #beryl but there is no one alive in that channel so I ask here.   When i lock my machine with Beryl on the screensaver usually locks up and i have to reboot my machine ... any options to fix it ?
[04:00] <misty> hi, please help this ubuntu / deb newbie.  I can't find the appropriate package for cups!  Is it cupsys?  That wants to install x11
[04:00] <pha|con> !wine | igr
[04:00] <ubotu> igr: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:00] <Nutubuntu> In a new installation of Feisty, Firefox 2 is constantly crashing. Sometiimes it takes X with it. Sometimes it pagefaults. How would I troubleshoot this?
[04:00] <Igr> ok
[04:00] <adrian_> yes
[04:00] <misty> ubuntu server, so no cute gui tools
[04:00] <Frogzoo> !wine | Igr: only way you can't is if you didn't read the wine doc - so go do that:

[04:00] <Vich> Gothfunc -> I have to agree about photoshop, but I've found Inkscape suitable for all type of vector-based art
[04:00] <IdleOne> chadeldridge, #ubuntu-effects
[04:01] <Vich> there is only so much functionality you need with a drawing program
[04:01] <adrian_> nice thanks
[04:01] <Gothfunc> Vich: interesting, never heard of it, i'll try that :)
[04:01] <supremesonic> gothfunc, im sure that there are extensions for gimp to do the things you can do in ps. However I wish more professionel developers would release games and programs under linux aswell. When that starting to happen people see no reason why to use linux over windows.
[04:01] <Otacon22> how can i see by shell the process that consume the most part of the cpu without using top?
[04:01] <clie5> quintessance, i've uploaded it. pls go to http://files-upload.com/325257/StowawayPalmv16.exe.html
[04:01] <pha|con> Vich: debends on the application (of the final product, not the actual saftware)  if you're doing print quality stuff you need a high powered app
[04:01] <gdi2k> misty: it's cupsys
[04:01] <Nutubuntu> Could the OT stuff go to ubuntu-offtopic please
[04:01] <chadeldridge> Ill try that chanel ...
[04:02] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: yes, i can mess about with extensions and i MIGHT get gimp to work ALMOST like ps, but i could just install ps and save myself a lot of effort
[04:02] <Nutubuntu> Could the OT stuff go to ubuntu-offtopic please
[04:02] <misty> Is there a way to make it not install the X stuff?
[04:02] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: and have it perfect
[04:02] <supremesonic> gothfunc, :)
[04:02] <Vich> misty -> yes
[04:02] <nivekc1> anyone know where i can get intel 845 drivers for vista?
[04:02] <misty> Vich: how? :)
[04:03] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: as Frogzoo implies though, perhaps adobe can't ignore linux for much longer
[04:03] <Igr> !wine
[04:03] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:03] <supremesonic> gothfunc. It would't be too hard for adobe to make *nix version of their programs, but they simply wont bother because for now it can't pay of.
[04:03] <supremesonic> gothfunc, yep :) for now as I said :p
[04:03] <jrib> nivekc1: ask in ##windows
[04:04] <Vich> misty -> that's called a bare-bones setup if you want to google it. I found this guide: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/minimal
[04:04] <gdi2k> misty: I don't think those bits of X are a problem - I don't think it's the entire xorg package
[04:04] <quintessance> Is there a keyboard shortcut to exit X Windows and cut to terminal?
[04:04] <Gothfunc> :)
[04:04] <misty> gdi2k: ok, I just didn't think ubuntu-server used x at all
[04:04] <quintessance> Found it! Ctrl + Alt + F1
[04:04] <nivekc1> ok, man i hate vista!! lol if it wasnt for my customers i would never use it again!
[04:04] <pha|con> supremesonic: that's part of the problem, i think.  some ppl won't use linux because X company won't make product for linux, and X company won't make the product cause there aren't enough ppl using linux
[04:04] <pppoe_dude> hi i cant seem to connect my pda (sony clie) to gnome-pilot or jpilot, for some reason (i used to do this ok in edgy, but not in feisty now)
[04:04] <supremesonic> gothfunc, http://www.jmonkeyengine.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=93&Itemid=1
[04:04] <pha|con> vicious cycle
[04:04] <chadeldridge> quintessance:  that doesnt actually close X though ... just drops you to a shell
[04:04] <ZeroA4> quintessance, CTRL+ALT+Fx where X = 1-6 - F7 return to X
[04:04] <pppoe_dude> any ideas? dmesg recognises a device
[04:05] <gdi2k> misty: take a look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-14346.html
[04:05] <Vich> nivekc1 -> that's the other reason linux isn't adopted in the real world: business applications
[04:05] <quintessance> Ah, OK!
[04:05] <misty> gdi2k: thanks, I will look
[04:05] <supremesonic> pha|con, yep, but as soon as some people start doing it. Other people will do it to for not lose the market.
[04:05] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: cute.  i'll give it a go
[04:05] <Vich> too many businesses run off msoffice, so that windows, windows server, etc follow
[04:05] <quintessance> All I need is the shell to free up some space.
[04:05] <ZeroA4> quintessance, to really close X - Ctrl+Alt+Backspace... But GDM runnig as servie will restart X
[04:05] <quintessance> Yeah - htat was the problem
[04:06] <quintessance> Was a GDM bug when no disk space left (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/35217)
[04:06] <quintessance> clie5: I'm sorting that out for you now
[04:06] <pha|con> Vich: a lot of companies run linux on the backend.  i work for the city of NY and even though all of our workstations are MS most of the server base is *nix
[04:06] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: i may even develop a game with that engine :)
[04:06] <supremesonic> gothfunc, it was just to show that some companies are starting to develop in multiplatform languages like java. Or c++ with libraries there only are multiplatform. And/or they might even make their own libraries
[04:07] <Prez_> hello...
[04:07] <misty> well, my test install of ubuntu on vmware worked flawlessly.  I was able to find and install every app that my server currently runs, without any issue at all.  It took me less than an hour actually.  :)  So I will definitely be updating all my servers from suse to ubuntu in the very near future :)
[04:07] <supremesonic> gothfunc, its a very nice engine. If I remember its under BSD licenses.
[04:07] <pha|con> Vich: all of our VM servers are linux and any VoIP stuff we have is on linux & asterisk
[04:07] <Prez_> quick question.. is there a way I can view a wep key from my keyring?
[04:07] <clie5> quintessance, ok. thanks. i'll wait
[04:07] <Vich> that is cool pha|con
[04:07] <WeeJeWel> What app can open CAB files?
[04:07] <misty> cabextract
[04:07] <defrysk> WeeJeWel, cabextract
[04:07] <quintessance> clie5: The exe was a self-extracting archive, but it contains a Windows installer. You need to connect your PDA to a Windows machine to install it, I think!
[04:07] <WeeJeWel> thx
[04:08] <adrian_> thanks gothfunc pokerstars is working now
[04:08] <Vich> I develop web apps, and while we support php and jsp just about every customer asks for aspx
[04:08] <quintessance> PDAs really don't work very well with Linux - I've never been able to Hotsync or anything
[04:08] <Felarin> WeeJeWel: from what i remember, 7zip should be able to let you see the contents of a cabinet file
[04:08] <supremesonic> gothfunc, its build upon LWJGL. Means that anything opengl can, it can. And if it can't do that you can just edit the source. Its better for companies to use that kinda things because its a fully featured engine, however if theres something they don't like they can just edit it. Saves resources.
[04:08] <pha|con> Vich:  customers often do not know what they want
[04:08] <Gothfunc> adrian_: in what?
[04:08] <Nutubuntu> In a new installation of Feisty, Firefox 2 is constantly crashing. Sometiimes it takes X with it. Sometimes it pagefaults. How would I troubleshoot this?
[04:08] <adrian_> wine
[04:08] <misty> now I'm gonig to install ubuntu client under vmware :)
[04:09] <pha|con> Vich: they have "kind of an idea about what they might like it to look like and how it should function"
[04:09] <misty> s/client/desktop
[04:09] <quintessance> clie5: Just for the sake of clarity, the archive contained Setup.exe, README, Software License Agreement.pdf, Software License Agreement.txt
[04:09] <quintessance> Sorry I can't be of any more help.
[04:09] <Vich> pha|con: well, I think it has a lot to do with databases
[04:09] <Gothfunc> adrian_: yeah stars, pokerroom and i believe fulltiltpoker work on linux
[04:09] <misty> quintessance: did you try cabextract on the setup.exe?
[04:09] <Vich> pha|con: they consider oracle and mssql the only options
[04:09] <Gothfunc> dunno about the others
[04:09] <misty> he should contact the developer to get the prc and pdb files, that is silly
[04:09] <Vich> pha|con: and mssql has the lowest cost of total ownership
[04:09] <adrian_> but not party?
[04:09] <pha|con> Vich: that's when you give them a short lesson on OSS options
[04:09] <jrib> pha|con, Vich: please move the conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:10] <adrian_> partypoker*
[04:10] <supremesonic> gothfunc, if you are up to it I would gladly join you in making a game with jME
[04:10] <Nutubuntu> I wish I could get /ignore working in Xchat. I miss it.
[04:10] <Vich> lol
[04:10] <Nutubuntu> t/y jrib
[04:10] <Vich> it's too easy to go off-topic
[04:10] <ulaas> hey, is there a way to dump only a specified folder within a repo?
[04:10] <quintessance> misty: I'll give it a try
[04:10] <jrib> I'm just going to ban next time
[04:10] <Gothfunc> adrian_: i don't think so.  it's either party or ftp that doesn't
[04:10] <Vich> so many like-minded people here
[04:10] <pha|con> jrib: sorry....going there now
[04:10] <adrian_> ok thanks
[04:10] <Gothfunc> supremesonic: private :)
[04:10] <supremesonic|afk> brb
[04:10] <adrian_> will stop by when i need more help :)
[04:10] <quintessance> clie5: Was it a HDR file, you were looking for?
[04:10] <misty> for the record every time I've come here and asked an ubuntu-related question, I've gotten a high-quality answer in less than a minute :)
[04:11] <phanter> hi there. How do I find on which /dev/something my external hard disk is matched?
[04:11] <misty> phanter: dmesg
[04:11] <Nutubuntu> I'm getting pretty annoyed, to be blunt. This is the only place I know for Ubuntu support (my ignorance maybe) and to see it gummed up with thousands of words about bill gates is eeevul or similar religious warfare is really disappointing.
[04:11] <misty> phanter: when you plugged in the usb hd, it would have told you.  Probably sd something
[04:11] <jrib> !support > Nutubuntu (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:12] <Nutubuntu> t/y jrib
[04:12] <quintessance> Nutubuntu: If you're not being helped with your problem, it's likely that no-one who's reading the channel knows the answer
[04:12] <Nutubuntu> quintessance, I realize that. It's also possible no one *sees* it in the traffic. So keeping the traffic on-topic is kind of important.
[04:13] <misty> Nutubuntu: I did not see your question.  Can you re-post if you still don't have teh answer?  I'm new to ubuntu but know quite a lot about linux in general.
[04:13] <Nutubuntu> Well, in a new installation of Feisty, Firefox 2 is constantly crashing. Sometiimes it takes X with it. Sometimes it pagefaults. How would I troubleshoot this?
[04:13] <user___> \
[04:13] <quintessance> Most people's problems seem to be getting answered. Mine wasn't and I repeated it a few times because I guess no one knew the answer. When I investigated more and came up with a more specific question to ask, several people answered.
[04:14] <clie5> quintessance, no. i was looking for a PRC file, please
[04:14] <misty> Nutubuntu: run firefox from the command-line
[04:14] <Otacon22> how can i see by shell the process that consume the most part of the cpu without using top?
[04:14] <clie5> quintessance, perhaps you're right.
[04:14] <misty> at least that way you have a chance of seeing the error message as it crashes
[04:14] <clie5> quintessance, perhaps i need to connect my pda to a windows computer.
[04:14] <Frogzoo> Nutubuntu: you could run memtest for 10 mins
[04:14] <misty> you can also run it with truss, and put the output in a file
[04:15] <misty> if it's always FF crashing it's highly unlikely to be a mem issue, just my opinion
[04:15] <user___> Hello, I have a problem: if I connect to samba using nautilus; the modified time of the file copied to samba is the current time; if I copy a file from windows; it's the modified time stays the same. I asked in the #samba channel, and I was told that this was a client-related issue
[04:15] <quintessance> clie5: When I ran setup.exe said you needed a desktop application already installed. When I extracted it contained 2 unextractable archives, HDR file, EX_file, BIN file, INX file and nother Setup.exe file
[04:15] <user___> So is there something wrong with nautilus?
[04:15] <Nutubuntu> misty, t/y - IDK truss, but will find out about it ... Frogzoo, I ran memtest for a day before installing, I think the RAM is fine
[04:16] <phanter> I did dmesg, it tells me that it sees the drive, but how do I know which link in /dev/ to use ?
[04:16] <misty> it's strace
[04:16] <misty> I had a flashback to solaris
[04:16] <miramana> Nutubuntu, ff is known to crash on bad far-asian pages, try adding fonts
[04:16] <misty> Nutubuntu: I p/m'd you
[04:17] <Nutubuntu> miramana, t/y ... the pages were unlikely to have any asian fonts though
[04:17] <Nutubuntu> misty, t/y, got it
[04:17] <phanter> it said: usb 5-6: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 4
[04:17] <phanter> and more of course :)
[04:17] <Yoriel> hi
[04:18] <quintessance> I like it when I have problems with my system, I learn so much about Linux.
[04:18] <mike3_> Whoa
[04:18] <Yoriel> how i can be a rt73 ready to work
[04:18] <mike3_> quintessance, :)
[04:18] <Yoriel> in ubuntu
[04:18] <Nutubuntu> quintessance, I agree ... up to a point ... :)
[04:18] <mike3_> quintessance, You want problems. :) rm -rf /etc/rc*
[04:18] <mike3_> :)
[04:18] <quintessance> Hehe - it's frustrating too. Especially when I had a problem during exams
[04:18] <Yoriel> i install the rt73 module following a n ubuntu forum
[04:18] <quintessance> Hah
[04:19] <mike3_> You'll have a problem then. :0
[04:20] <durab> Hi I have a wg111v2 usb wireless dongle and I am trying to get it working
[04:20] <durab> there is a lot of conflicting info on forums etc
[04:20] <Nutubuntu> Question about dump / restore - the description says for ext2 fs - does that include ext3 fs (which are ext2 + journaling, if I understood correctly)?
[04:20] <durab> it seems feisty should support it, and wpa out of the box?
[04:20] <misty> yes ext3 is ext2 with journalling
[04:20] <misty> Nutubuntu: I've asked you some questions in p/m
[04:20] <mik3> anyone know how to force telnet to use a proxy server?
[04:21] <WeeJeWel> mik3, use Putty
[04:21] <Nutubuntu> Sorry, misty, I caught up with them a second ago though
[04:21] <mik3> WeeJeWel: no
[04:21] <mik3> anyone know how to force telnet to use a proxy server via iptables
[04:21] <tuna-fish> I want to reformat a partition. However, the second I unmount it, it remounts to /media/disk. How Can I make the computer stop doing that?
[04:22] <tuna-fish> there is no fstab entry for it
[04:22] <misty> ack
[04:22] <misty> I guess he crashed it again
[04:22] <phanter> So I am trying to find where my external hard drive can be found, in which link in /dev/.... I did dmesg, but I am not sure where to find that "mount point"
[04:23] <Andeh> Hey
[04:23] <Rprp>   ChanServ Duiv` GameServ Global MemoServ NickServ OperServ QIB Quis|afk Rprp Tim
[04:23] <Andeh> Is it possible to access my windows registry from ubuntu?
[04:23] <quintessance> How do I check out my harddisk stats in the terminal? Just use a partitioning program?
[04:23] <mik3> phanter: does dmesg show your external drive?
[04:23] <Andeh> Cause i need to copy my macromedia settings into the wine registry, and if possible i'd like to do it without rebooting into windows (that literally takes 20 minutes to boot!!)
[04:23] <Nutubuntu> back ... sorry ... I was trying a google search to find out about strace -- in Firefox, and of course it crashed X ... :\
[04:23] <misty> phanter: do dmesg | grep sd
[04:23] <mik3> quintessance : stats? as in storage space etc?
[04:23] <quintessance> yeah
[04:24] <mik3> quintessance : df -h
[04:24] <DanSmir123> Hello all
[04:24] <quintessance> Thank you
[04:25] <mik3> anyone here semi mediocre with iptables? i need to make telnet route through a proxy
[04:25] <DanSmir123> is it possible to view wmv files in firefox?
[04:25] <Andeh> Is it possible to access the Windows Registry from ubuntu?
[04:25] <Andeh> I need to copy my Macromedia settings for Flash to work in wine, and if possible, do this without rebooting.
[04:25] <Andeh> Can I?
[04:25] <phanter> misty:  I think it sees it, but I cannot mount it or something
[04:25] <Andeh> DanSmir123: I think you can do that with MPlayer
[04:25] <mik3> Andeh: probably not
[04:26] <Andeh> mik3: Oh. Then I need to reboot into windows and export the REG file, then import it in wine. Yay :(
[04:26] <mik3> Andeh: at least you're losing the leash microsoft has on you?
[04:26] <durab> "The forums are currently offline while we add a few new features :) ooohh how exciting!"
[04:26] <durab> does anyone know how to use ndiswrapper to get a usb wireless dongle working?
[04:26] <leo|term> i am trying to install a samba (domain controller) server on a small network, i am following this guide (got link if you want), and all seems fine until i try to log on with a windows computer, any ideas what might be wrong?
[04:26] <Nutubuntu> misty, I pm'd you regarding strace
[04:27] <misty> Nutubuntu: I didn't see that, please send it again
[04:27] <misty> phanter: please pastebin the output you got from dmesg, and any error message you get when tryign to mount.  http://rafb.net/paste is a good place to do that
[04:27] <mik3> durab : dongle? who makes it?
[04:27] <mcp_> Does ubuntu have an easy to use file-compare-program? Something like windiff in windows.
[04:27] <durab> netgear wg111v2
[04:27] <mik3> so broadcom eh?
[04:27] <Nutubuntu> misty, re-sent
[04:27] <mik3> durab : did you check ndiswrapper's site?
[04:28] <IdleOne> !register | Nutubuntu
[04:28] <ubotu> Nutubuntu: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[04:28] <misty> Nutubuntu: I totally did not get it
[04:28] <misty> lol
[04:28] <kitche> mcp_: probably diff since that's what windiff is based on
[04:28] <misty> Nutubuntu: I'm hoping you did not typo my nick ;)
[04:28] <durab> there is a tantalizing link to a forum post that supposedly solves it, but the forums are down. I will look at the site, I just wanted to know if feisty supported it out of the box as I have read
[04:28] <IdleOne> Nutubuntu, you need to register to be able to send priv msg
[04:28] <Nutubuntu> Ohhhh ... I get it, I can't PM if not reg.  :)
[04:28] <misty> ahh, yeah
[04:28] <mcp_> but diff is command line only. I want something easy (read GUI)
[04:29] <mik3> durab: i would assume it would since it's one of the common chipsets
[04:29] <phanter> I tried the dmesg thing, but I cannot find my external drive. I think it tells me to look for sda, but there is no sda in /ded/.
[04:29] <misty> mcp: kdiff
[04:29] <mik3> phanter: paste your dmesg output into a pastebin
[04:29] <jrib> mcp_: try meld
[04:29] <Nutubuntu> Okay, what I asked was, I'd use alt-ctl-f1 to get to a non-x terminal, 'strace firefox', alt-ctl-f7 (?) to come back to x, then stress firefox by ... I dunno, running a search in google? that's what crashed it last time ;p ... and then look at the trace? something like that?
[04:29] <omglazers> Can anyone suggest a linux program for converting music files like flac -> mp3?
[04:29] <Ercle> I have just set up two monitors, and i would like to run each as a different 'desktop cube' with Beryl but setting MultiMonitor Mode to Multiple cubes doesn't do anything. Can anyone suggest what i may be doing wrong?
[04:30] <kitche> Nutubuntu: umm use a terminal for strace so open terminal and type strance firefox
[04:30] <mik3> omglazers: soundconverter
[04:30] <durab> mik3: where do I start? if I got to sys->admin->network there is a device there but I am unable to select wpa
[04:30] <omglazers> mik3, I was just about to install that but I didnt know if there's a catchall that lots of nux users have
[04:30] <Nutubuntu> kitche ... when x crashes my term crashes with it ... would that make a difference?
[04:31] <durab> I'm not sure if the device is in fact my device, or a placeholder or anything really
[04:31] <kitche> Nutubuntu: probably but if it's X crashing then it's more then firefox
[04:31] <hellogoodbye> the funky red marker pen tool in compiz, how do i clear it after drawing?
[04:31] <Andeh> mik3: I am losing the leash microsoft has on me. Funny how i need to use it to acheive a state where I no longer need to use it.
[04:31] <mik3> omglazers: the last time i converted music i had to use soundconverter to convert from flac to wav, then lame to convert wav to mp3
[04:31] <asep> howto uninstall automatix2 ?
[04:31] <mik3> durab : this is with fiesty?
[04:31] <omglazers> mik3, Any idea if it can handle m4a?
[04:31] <durab> yeah, downloaded the image last week
[04:32] <mik3> omglazers: not sure, i don't mess with m4a
[04:32] <hoagie> hey
[04:32] <Jack_Sparrow> asep: You dont... that is why we tell people NOT to use it
[04:32] <durab> I get wmaster0 and wlan0 in the sys->network dialog, but no wpa option
[04:32] <mcp_> jrib, meld is cool, thanks
[04:32] <Nutubuntu> kitche, it's only firefox that causes it. sometimes ff just crashes itself, sometimes it takes x down with it.
[04:32] <omglazers> mik3, normally I dont either but someone sent me a few and ive got to deal D:
[04:32] <mik3> durab: look over by the clock where it shows network connections, then click on the right ssid and it should prompt you
[04:33] <durab> nice, like osx. but only wep options available, my billion router only likes to work using wpa prekey
[04:33] <Yoriel_> how can be able to use my rt73 on ubuntu
[04:33] <durab> I will have a dig around, you've got me thinking. thanks for your help so far
[04:33] <Nutubuntu> I'll have to come back to this issue later; gtg. Misty, kitche - everyone - thx and see you later
[04:34] <Yoriel_> is possible, i do 3 differents install options and nothing
[04:34] <asep> Jack_Sparrow : so ..?
[04:34] <Igr|> how do i mount a iso file?
[04:34] <Otacon22> how can i see by shell the process that consume the most part of the cpu without using top?
[04:34] <Jack_Sparrow> !automatix
[04:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Reinstall comes to mind
[04:34] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe

[04:54] <zt1180> no hang on i will get it
[04:54] <xpoint> NET||abuse, it failed with freebsd NAS
[04:54] <miramana> reed026, , http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/GRUB#Error_18
[04:54] <NET||abuse> xpoint, well, depends on the drivers available from the hardware vendor
[04:55] <ahlfors> Is anyone running ubuntu on a dell latitude d630?  I am considering buying one, and would install linux.
[04:55] <mik3> zt1180: are you using restricted drivers?
[04:55] <NET||abuse> xpoint, nas boxes are very specific with drivers, so you really have to make sure you buy kit with linux driver supprot
[04:55] <jrib> !java > endo (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:55] <hellogoodbye> is it wise to reinstall compiz?
[04:55] <xpoint> NET||abuse, i belived any intel i386 with 8M ram was all i need
[04:55] <mik3> hellogoodbye : why do you need to?
[04:56] <NET||abuse> the pc will work sure.. but the nas box itself (you are talking network attached storage right?) the box with all the drives is what's important
[04:56] <miramana> reed026, your boot parttion is too far from the beginning of the disk
[04:56] <reed026> miramana, so I would need to create a smaller partion that would include the ubuntu server?
[04:56] <hellogoodbye> mik3: quite a few effects have stopped working suddenly, i've tried disabling and re-enabling
[04:56] <reed026> would that render the HD useless though?
[04:57] <mik3> hellogoodbye: can you use beryl? that seems to be the choice in those hippie effects..
[04:57] <mat1980> xpoint: maybe this could help http://jonpeck.blogspot.com/2006/11/how-to-configure-80-fileserver-in-45.html
[04:57] <miramana> reed026, it is not the size that matters, but position
[04:57] <hellogoodbye> i just like the cube etc
[04:57] <mike3_> mik3, what's with the name stealin gbud
[04:57] <xpoint> NET||abuse, yes i just want to use one of the old pc i have for this here, i know i can bay NAS hardware drives but i dont even have shoes :-)
[04:57] <hellogoodbye> it just very suddenly stopped working
[04:57] <mik3> mike3_: i've had this longer than you =P
[04:57] <hellogoodbye> im using the built in compiz setup in feisty
[04:57] <reed026> I guess I still don't exactly understand how to fix it then miramana
[04:57] <mike3_> mik3, Sure you have bud.
[04:57] <mike3_> mik3, You're gay
[04:57] <mike3_> :)
[04:57] <mik3> mike3_: uh, ok?
[04:57] <DanSmir123> Anyone, how can i activate multidesktop cube?
[04:58] <mik3> mike3_: what are you like 15?
[04:58] <hellogoodbye> dan: system, prefs
[04:58] <NET||abuse> xpoint, so what exactly isn't working?
[04:58] <mike3_> mik3, What are you? Homo?
[04:58] <hellogoodbye> mike3_: bye!
[04:58] <Pici> !coc | mike3_
[04:58] <ubotu> mike3_: The Ubuntu Code of Conduct to which we ask all Ubuntu users to adhere can be found at http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct/
[04:58] <DanSmir123> GUYS, someone know hot to activate multidesktop cube?
[04:58] <miramana> reed026, you should install it into partition within the first 1023 cyls
[04:58] <neverblue> anyone know how to NOT let a keypress toggle 'xset -dpms' ?
[04:58] <mike3_> My apologies. I wasn't aware of the channel rules
[04:59] <mik3> mike3_: so you go around being a degenerate twat by default?
[04:59] <neverblue> take it outta the channel kids
[04:59] <mike3_> mik3, When it's needed yes.
[04:59] <varun0> in gnome-utils, the memory applet says "33% in use by programs. 62% in use as cache". What does "62% in use as cache" mean? What sort of cache is this?
[05:00] <neverblue> else /ignore *!*@host all
[05:00] <DanSmir123> CUBE multidesktop, hot to activate guys?
[05:00] <igoR> Hello, when I'm trying to install Fifa Manager 07 with WINE, I can't continue after that a window popup which is full white with the title "Electronic Arts. Inc", what do I need to see what this Electronic Arts Inc. windows says?
[05:00] <mike3_> varun0, What it says
[05:00] <xpoint> mat1980, thanks perfectly for me
[05:00] <DanSmir123> :'(
[05:01] <DanSmir123> svolochi vi vse. vot
[05:01] <xpoint> NET||abuse, freebsd is not working for me :-)
[05:01] <varun0> mike3_: It doesn't say what sort of cache it is. Is this some sort of kernel caching?
[05:01] <neverblue> igoR, first you should check if that game will even run in Wine
[05:01] <NET||abuse> ??? ok,, so just install ubuntu,, what's the problem?
[05:01] <Tomcat_> igoR: That's a wine question, ask in #winehq
[05:01] <neverblue> NET||abuse, the user :)
[05:01] <Pirate_Hunter> hey people, in general how do i make ubuntu give me access to write to a folder?
[05:01] <NET||abuse> neverblue, guess so :)
[05:01] <hellogoodbye> can someone help me fix my compiz please?
[05:02] <xpoint> NET||abuse, problem is to install ubuntu again :-)
[05:02] <neverblue> Pirate_Hunter, consult 'ubuntu guide'
[05:02] <Tomcat_> Pirate_Hunter: chmod u+w <folder>, or do it in Nautilus.
[05:02] <HymnToLife> Pirate_Hunter, change permissions and/or ownership for it
[05:02] <NET||abuse> xpoint, not a problem,, that's like fun!!
[05:02] <hellogoodbye> pirate: chmod +w folder
[05:02] <HymnToLife> with chmod and chown, respectively
[05:02] <mik3> igoR: i'm guessing it uses directx which AFAIK wine doesn't support  that spiffy graphic rendering stuff from MS
[05:02] <dasmaze> varun0, it's everything that is not a program, as far as i know. Every Picture, Document, etc that was in use gets put there.
[05:02] <zt1180> it says 'desktop effects could not be enabled'
[05:02] <DanSmir123> Can i install visual studio on ubuntu?
[05:02] <NET||abuse> zt1180, ok,, umm, go to gnome-terminal then type in glxinfo | grep direct
[05:02] <mat1980> DanSmir123: http://en.opensuse.org/Compiz
[05:02] <mik3> zt1180: are you using ATI restricted drivers for your video card?
[05:03] <xpoint> NET||abuse, maybe, but i only install things one  time, and stay with it, if it dont work i reformat the drive :-)
[05:03] <zt1180> im not shure
[05:03] <mat1980> DanSmir123: I guess visual studio will not install on ubuntu.
[05:03] <DanSmir123> mat1980: only you love me here
[05:03] <NET||abuse> zt1180, just run glxinfo and see if DirectRendering yes is there...
[05:03] <varun0> dasmaze: maybe my understandings of the kernel are shaky, but wouldn't memory usage of docs/pictures/etc be part of the programs that have loaded those things?
[05:04] <igoR> mik3, you know if Cedega support directx?
[05:04] <mat1980> DanSmir123: http://compiz.org/FAQ/Users#Why_can.27t_I_get_the_cube_rotation_to_work.3F
[05:04] <LungaN> How do i open ports in ubuntu
[05:04] <kitche> igoR: cedega and wine both support directx wine is a bit behind just a tad though
[05:04] <mat1980> DanSmir123: :)
[05:04] <r00tintheb0x> Ports like FreeBSD ports?
[05:04] <dasmaze> varun0, linux attempts to fill the Memory with everything it finds, for later use. Everything you loaded stays there, as long as the space isn't needed by any other program
[05:04] <Pirate_Hunter> HymnToLife: how cna i change permission to a folder if it says im not the owner?
[05:04] <dasmaze> Pirate_Hunter, sudo chmod
[05:04] <mik3> igoR: based on what i'm reading I would assume so
[05:05] <pike_> LungaN: sudo iptables -L   to see current firewall rules.  everything is ACCEPT by default (open)
[05:05] <r00tintheb0x> sudo chown username:groupname file Pirate_Hunter
[05:05] <kitche> r00tintheb0x: umm that is to change owner not permissions
[05:05] <pike_> LungaN: firestarter is a decent front end to iptables you can install
[05:05] <r00tintheb0x> oh
[05:05] <terlmann> dasmaze : isnt that stupid ?
[05:05] <r00tintheb0x> sorry heads buzzin... working hard @ work already
[05:05] <varun0> dasmaze: ahh that makes a lot more sense. so whenever a program loads or something, it replaces data in the cached portion?
[05:05] <endo> !divx | endo
[05:05] <dasmaze> terlmann, why?
[05:06] <r00tintheb0x> !chmod | Pichu0102
[05:06] <ubotu> Pichu0102: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[05:06] <r00tintheb0x> !chmod | Pirate_Hunter
[05:06] <ubotu> Pirate_Hunter: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[05:06] <Pirate_Hunter> r00tintheb0x: would this work - sudo chmod u+w /usr/share/games/xmame/roms/
[05:06] <endo> !divx | endo
[05:06] <terlmann> why would you load up your ram unless you had  , like , gigs of it
[05:06] <r00tintheb0x> Pirate_Hunter yes.
[05:06] <neverblue> anyone know how to NOT let a keypress toggle 'xset -dpms' ?
[05:06] <dasmaze> varun0, if there is free space available, it fills that, the cache gets overwritten if it fills all available memory.
[05:06] <r00tintheb0x> that'd allow users to write to that directory.
[05:06] <varun0> terlmann: maybe so that none of the ram is unused?
[05:06] <terlmann> what if you wanted to game ?
[05:06] <Pirate_Hunter> r00tintheb0x: kk will try it out
[05:07] <terlmann> you would need a ton of ram in a hurry
[05:07] <r00tintheb0x> sure thing.
[05:07] <GenNMX> Linux will use ALL available RAM if needed, unlike Windows, which generally keeps some free for its virtual memory usage by default.
[05:07] <varun0> terlmann: (just speculating here, but) what if it fills up everything, just to be efficient, no matter how much you have?
[05:08] <dasmaze> terlmann, everything in the cache has already been loaded into RAM, so why waste CPU on deleting it? It just stays there till someone replaces the space
[05:08] <terlmann> well if it isnt keeping track of it why bother ?
[05:09] <Pirate_Hunter> r00tintheb0x: nothing happened once I typed that... is that how it works?
[05:09] <mike3_> GenNMX, why
[05:09] <mike3_> GenNMX, Which would you say is better? What advantages do one have over the other?
[05:09] <raf256> mike3_: usused RAM == wasted ram
[05:10] <cylent77> i dont like beryl. it slows my system down
[05:10] <raf256> mike3_: works faster often; Although it isnt REALLY good yet (it will be after adding swap prefatch)
[05:10] <raf256> cylent77: on good gfx card it should speedup I thought?
[05:10] <cylent77> its counter productive
[05:10] <raf256> turn of the eyecandy then
[05:10] <cylent77> raf256: my systems specs are p4 3.4ghz, 1gig ram, 6600 nvidia geforce card. should be more than sufficient
[05:10] <raf256> off
[05:10] <cylent77> and it still sorta lags
[05:10] <brucewang> hey guys, i was wondering what package i need to play vcd (bin/cue) files in totem
[05:11] <mike3_> cylent77, I know why.
[05:11] <mike3_> cylent77, Just can'te remember. :0
[05:11] <mike3_> =)
[05:11] <dasmaze> cylent77, you probably did something wrong, than
[05:11] <mike3_> cylent77, Oh wait, it was related to the version of nvidia drivers I was using.
[05:11] <defrysk> brucewang, bin cue files need to be burned on cd : cdrdao write blah.cue
[05:12] <cylent77> bs; i didnt do crap wrong. i just installed this Linux Mint
[05:12] <cylent77> and then nvidia drivers
[05:12] <brucewang> my pc runs on a 1.6ghz hamster on a wheel and its still pretty fast with ubuntu
[05:12] <mike3_> cylent77, Try getting the newest nvidia drivers.
[05:12] <defrysk> cylent77, what you did wrong is installing linux mint
[05:12] <cylent77> how do u record a video of your desktop ?
[05:12] <neverblue> anyone know how to NOT let a keypress toggle 'xset -dpms' ? (I am trying to keep a display off for a length of time)
[05:12] <cylent77> defrysk: whats wrong with Mint?
[05:13] <brucewang> defrysk,  totem says it can play it, justs needs the plugin
[05:13] <defrysk> cylent77, its not supported here
[05:13] <mike3_> cylent77, There is camstudio for windows.
[05:13] <cylent77> mike3_: i want to record my ubuntu desktop. NOT windows
[05:13] <cylent77> defrysk: i aware of that.
[05:13] <mike3_> cylent77, so vnc fropm a windows box
[05:13] <mike3_> ta da
[05:13] <defrysk> brucewang, cue bin files are image files , not playable files
[05:13] <cylent77> mike3_: You kidding? thats stupid
[05:13] <dasmaze> cylent77, http://www.google.de/search?hl=de&q=screen+capture+linux&btnG=Google-Suche&meta=
[05:14] <brucewang> defrysk,  also vlc player plays them
[05:14] <defrysk> brucewang, then install vlc
[05:14] <Pici> cylent77: I've been hearing good things about recordmydesktop lately, I believe its in the ubuntu repos.
[05:14] <brucewang> defrysk,  vlc sound is garbled with me
[05:15] <cylent77> cool Pici, thanks. i'll install it once my updates are done.

[05:19] <mik3> raf256: thanks
[05:19] <raf256> Imker: hi2u
[05:19] <naiaxl> anyone know how to fix the sound in a ubuntu? i previewed a file of emule, and my sound doesn't work. Thank you
[05:19] <neverblue> naiaxl, that makes no sense
[05:19] <raf256> naiaxl: try sudo alsaconf   try if other programs (amarok) works
[05:19] <mike3_> cylent77, That's stupid?
[05:20] <brucewang> IdleOne,  i'm not sure that codec is the problem, i need a plugin
[05:20] <mike3_> cylent77, Go tell that to the owners of Iron Geek then.
[05:20] <terlmann> naiale
[05:20] <terlmann> naiaxl
[05:20] <mike3_> cylent77, That's how they accomplish their stuff.
[05:20] <terlmann> what is the file format ?
[05:20] <naiaxl> thank you 4terlmann, but no program with sound works
[05:20] <mike3_> cylent77, I should smack you for insulting me.
[05:20] <terlmann> on
[05:20] <cylent77> mike3_: i want to capture my desktop not the CLI
[05:20] <kitche> mike3_: you mean that's how he does stuff
[05:21] <mike3_> cylent77, I was providing you some help.
[05:21] <naiaxl> the file was a mp3
[05:21] <terlmann> go to applications
[05:21] <terlmann> accessories
[05:21] <terlmann> terminal
[05:21] <kitche> mike3_: since Iron Geek is one guy
[05:21] <mike3_> cylent77, It will capture the desktop
[05:21] <mike3_> kitche, Along with the community making videos.
[05:21] <naiaxl> i cannot hear nothing in firefox too
[05:21] <kitche> mike3_: umm he's the only one that makes the videos
[05:21] <mike3_> kitche, A lot of people use that application.
[05:21] <IdleOne> cylent77, sudo aptitude install gtk-recordmydesktop recordmydesktop
[05:21] <kitche> mike3_: I know him personally
[05:21] <cylent77> mike3_: BUT WHY? theres obviously a linux screen capture utility. VNCing from windows and using a windows capture program IS STUPID imo. its DOABLE but just stupid
[05:22] <terlmann> if it was a mp3 you have to install codiecs
[05:22] <cylent77> IdleOne: Thanks
[05:22] <terlmann> you cant listen to any without it
[05:22] <terlmann> hm..
[05:22] <brucewang> irongeek has some cool stuff
[05:22] <mike3_> cylent77, It was a suggestion man..
[05:22] <IdleOne> cylent77, synaptic is your freind.... :)
[05:22] <mike3_> cylent77, I don't know of any linux capture applications.
[05:22] <SourceCode> how do i convert ps to pdf in ubuntu?
[05:22] <cylent77> mike3_: thank u
[05:22] <jetscreamer> gimp does screencapture, there is even a package in sources to make a mini movie of your desktop (like for a help file / tutorial)
[05:22] <naiaxl> terlmann: install? but before to do it, my sound worked
[05:22] <mike3_> cylent77, You're very welcome.
[05:22] <cylent77> mike3_: read what IdleOne said above. RECORD MY DESKTOP
[05:22] <cylent77> mike3_:  sudo aptitude install gtk-recordmydesktop recordmydesktop
[05:22] <mike3_> kitche, You say you know him personally?
[05:23] <jetscreamer> apt-cache search pdf | grep ps
[05:23] <terlmann> you had mp3s working in ubuntu ?
[05:23] <naiaxl> yes
[05:23] <naiaxl> xmms
[05:23] <terlmann> ok
[05:23] <mike3_> cylent77, Fantastic, go ahead and install it then. Why do you need my permission.
[05:23] <IdleOne> mike3_, let it go :)
[05:23] <terlmann> check that speakers are on , volume is up , cable is fully inserted in right port
[05:23] <cylent77> mike3_: : i will :) thanks
[05:23] <brucewang> ive chatted with irongeek a few times via email
[05:23] <kitche> mike3_: yes I know most of infonomicon
[05:23] <terlmann> then open a terminal and run sudo alsaconf
[05:24] <mike3_> kitche, He is the only one that do the recording? How come he has a section devoited to third party recordings?
[05:24] <bronze> How can I change the screen resolution of the login screen?

[05:25] <Pirate_Hunter> Is it possible to gain full access only to the sub folder and not the main folder im just wondering?
[05:25] <kitche> mike3_: I just checked his site and I don't see any 3rd party section
[05:25] <mike3_> Pirate_Hunter, Yes that's actually one of the few security problems people face.

[05:27] <Lin> NightMare: explain your problem.
[05:27] <Pirate_Hunter> mike3_: "...one of the few security problems people face", how much of a security risk is giving full access to one folder especially in my case if it is the mame roms folder
[05:27] <NightMare> i couldn't get it connected
[05:27] <Lin> NightMare: be more precise.

[05:34] <askand> In the Gnome Compiz Preferences I was able to make a setting that would show the desktop if I hade the mousepointer in any of the corners..now that setting is gone.how do I get it back?
[05:35] <brucewang> rejser,  where does it show up to open? i cant seem to find it
[05:36] <loki_> hmmm... I delete a lvm volume i was not suppose to delelte, is there anyway to recover it ?

[05:39] <rejser> :D
[05:39] <NightMare> i was configuring my dialup on KNOPPIX 5.0.1 but i couldn't get the modem why do u think that is
[05:41] <marcel__> I am using ubuntu 7.04 as a Virtual machine in VMWare on my Gateway laptop and I do not have sound
[05:42] <marcel__> when I used it as a live CD, sound was no problem but when I installed it in WM, sound disappeared
[05:42] <NightMare> i know that it is on COM3 but still it says "Device Busy!"
[05:42] <pcom> marcel__: stupid question, but you're sure you've got the drivers? and you're sure whatever you're playing has support?
[05:43] <misty> I'm trying to install ubuntu 7.04 desktop in Vmware 6, and no matter which option I choose (Install, Safe mode, Check disk for errors), it hangs as soon as I make my choice
[05:43] <marcel__> yeah, as I said before installing, I used the live CD and everything worked, after I installed it in WM it is gone and there is this message:
[05:43] <marcel__> he volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured.
[05:44] <misty> Is there a known issue with vmware 6? ubuntu server installed just fine
[05:44] <brucewang> anyone recommend a cd burning package for bin/cue files?
[05:44] <pcom> marcel__: sure, just making sure. okay, well grab the gstreamer plugins to be sure
[05:45] <marcel__> how do I do that?
[05:45] <pcom> http://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/download/ should help
[05:45] <pike_> brucewang: i dont know if its best but i usually use cdemu to mount the cue/bin file.  to burn it though..
[05:46] <pike_> !iso
[05:46] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[05:46] <^^^GOTIC^^^> fedora?bad and good linux?
[05:46] <pike_> brucewang: you might want to convert to iso
[05:46] <lazellama> anyone know why i can't see /home/me/.fluxbox?
[05:46] <marcel__> should I go with GSM streamer plugin good, bad or ugly?
[05:46] <synic> I've got an external usb harddrive formatted with ext3.  When I plug it in, it mounts, but my user does not have write permissions to it.  How can I fix this?
[05:46] <brucewang> pike_,  what should i use to convert to iso?
[05:46] <pcom> anyone help me with booting in minus the GUI?
[05:47] <lazellama> it says it can't find it, nor can i see it, but i can get to it.
[05:47] <pcom> lazellama: the . makes it invisible
[05:47] <pike_> lazellama: sudo chown -R $USER:$USER ~    <-- might  fix it
[05:47] <lazellama> oh. why?
[05:47] <pcom> marcel__: all
[05:47] <lazellama> ok
[05:47] <preaction> marcel__: all of them, so that all the formats will work
[05:47] <pike_> lazellama: lol wait.  ls -a  to see hidden files
[05:47] <marcel__> ok
[05:47] <NightMare> hay pcom
[05:47] <NightMare> my problem is with the modem
[05:47] <NightMare> it does detect it but it says "Device Busy!" am using KNOPPIX 5
[05:47] <fire_storm_> hi , when i try to start desktop effects it gives me this error "The Composite extension is not available"
[05:47] <NET||abuse> hmmmm, would anyone know ,, will there be a picassa for linux ever?? that's such a nice program,, i really like it..
[05:48] <wietz0r> It's there
[05:48] <wietz0r> NET||abuse: There's a port I think
[05:48] <Pici> NightMare: This is the #ubuntu channel, not the Knoppix channel.
[05:48] <wietz0r> NET||abuse: http://picasa.google.com/linux/
[05:48] <NET||abuse> wietz0r, ohhh,,, :) nice
[05:48] <mike3_> NET||abuse, That's online with google.
[05:48] <pike_> brucewang: try k3b first. i havent used it in a while so maybe it supports em now
[05:48] <lazellama> k
[05:49] <brucewang> pike_,  thanks
[05:49] <lazellama> any idea why when i try to run fluxbox it says that the location can't be found. i've tried serveral ways. i've tried loading it from .fluxbox/startup and i've tried exec=startfluxbox from fluxbox.desktop in xsessions
[05:50] <mike3_> lazellama, what about from .xinitrc
[05:50] <lungan> How do i forward ports in ubuntu?
[05:50] <mike3_>  ?
[05:50] <mike3_> lungan, google via iptables routing
[05:50] <mike3_> ?
[05:50] <pcom> lungan: you have to set up routing
[05:50] <pike_> lazellama: a simple way that should work is echo exec startfluxbox > ~/.xinitrc; xinit   i dunno why that wouldnt work
[05:51] <neil> Hey guys
[05:51] <w116tjb> yo
[05:51] <neil> Nvidia website states for the latest version: Improved NVIDIA X driver interaction with ACPI daemon.
[05:51] <neil> Have they fixed resuming from standby?
[05:51] <Fa1> hi
[05:51] <neil> Assuming people know it fails currently...
[05:51] <mike3_> fluxbox is just a pain in the ass if you plan on using at your primary WM.
[05:51] <mike3_> Honestly stupid if you ask me, unless you want to dig and learn.
[05:51] <mike3_> Just get used to the command line.
[05:51] <w116tjb> Mike3_: Try using XFCE...
[05:51] <lungan> If i don't have done anything with my security is all ports opened then?
[05:52] <fire_storm_> hi , when i try to start desktop effects it gives me this error "The Composite extension is not available"
[05:52] <Fa1> just a little question: is there problem with compiz and the Win-Key?
[05:52] <lazellama> mike3_, no i havn't tried that whats the .xinitrc read by? and if i do it that way would it still load gdm first for me to chose the session?
[05:52] <wietz0r> fire_storm_: Is your driver supported ?
[05:52] <mike3_> w116tjb, I rather stick with KDE. I've used all those before. I like something that is more automated. I'm a X slackware user.
[05:52] <mike3_> So you can imagine.
[05:52] <fire_storm_> i use nvidia restricled drivers
[05:52] <mike3_> lazellama, do this
[05:52] <iFries> Hi! :-) Is there anyone that can tell me how to resize a directory full of pictures with imagemagick? I can't figure out the right command ..
[05:53] <mike3_> lazellama, chmod -777 /etc/init.d/gdm
[05:53] <fire_storm_> wietz0r : before i formated my PC it used to work
[05:53] <lazellama> mike3_, k..
[05:53] <mike3_> lazellama, then echo "start fluxbox" > ~/.xinitrc
[05:53] <mike3_> that should do it.
[05:53] <pike_> fluxbox is a nice. load damn small linux and tell me its not a slick wm. fluxbox + conky is pretty slick
[05:53] <marcel__> I am trying to install gstreamer  - I did ./configure, but when I type "make" it says no file specified
[05:53] <mike3_> lazellama, might be the wrong command for .xinitrc though
[05:53] <Fa1> marcel__: why are you compiling it?
[05:53] <neil> fire_storm_: need to check compositing is turned on in your xorg.onf
[05:53] <marcel__> just followng instructions to install it
[05:53] <neil> .conf
[05:53] <Fa1> marcel__: I mean there are prebuild packages
[05:54] <mike3_> pike_, Definately a good WM. However, as a replacement for windows it doesn't come even close.
[05:54] <lazellama> mike3_, should i do "start fluxbox" like you said or "startfluxbox" all in one?
[05:54] <Fa1> marcel__: are you using feisty?
[05:54] <mike3_> lazellama, I'm not to sure what calls up fluxbox
[05:54] <Toma-> Have the most recent hal updates messed up anyone elses systems?
[05:54] <lazellama> ok
[05:54] <marcel__> 7.04 ?
[05:54] <pcom> marcel__:what does the gstreamer doc say?
[05:54] <fire_storm_> neil : how can i do that?
[05:54] <lazellama> i will try brb.
[05:54] <mike3_> lazellama, Ask somebody here. I don't use fluxbox
[05:54] <Fa1> could anybody help me to fix the Super-Key with Compiz?
[05:54] <neil> Nvidia website states for the latest version: Improved NVIDIA X driver interaction with ACPI daemon. Does anyone know if this fixes resuming from standby?
[05:54] <lazellama> mike3_, i think startfluxbox calls ity
[05:54] <neil> fire_storm_: Type sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:54] <mike3_> lazellama, ok try it.
[05:54] <DanSmir123> how can i see wmv files over web? GUYS
[05:54] <miramana> lungan, run iptables -L and it will tell your current firewall rules
[05:54] <marcel__> it isays 'type make to compile the package'
[05:54] <sebastian> How do i mount my camera? In other words, how do i mount my USB removable drive,thingy.. in Feisty Fawn ???
[05:55] <neil> check you have :
[05:55] <neil> Section "Extensions"
[05:55] <neil>         Option "Composite" "Enable"
[05:55] <neil> EndSection
[05:55] <pike_> lazellama: try sudo /etc/inti.d/gdm stop; then put exec fluxbox in .xinitrc and run xinit  itll work if flux is installed
[05:55] <dosage> fal: what do you mean fix?
[05:55] <neil> sorry for the past :)
[05:55] <krame> hello
[05:55] <neil> paste,...ahhh
[05:55] <mike3_> lazellama, Take in mind by doing a chmod -777 to your gdm file, you will have to login via CLI then do a "startx"
[05:55] <Zaq> sebastian: I just plug in mine and it's automagical
[05:55] <Fa1> sebastian: It shoud be automounted
[05:55] <krame> somebody speak spanish?
[05:55] <Pici> !es | krame
[05:55] <ubotu> krame: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[05:55] <sebastian> Zaq, Fal, OK :/
[05:55] <mike3_> lazellama, You can always edit the gdm config file to have it load fluxbox instead of gnome if you want. You'll have to goolge on how to do this
[05:55] <sebastian> Mine doesn't
[05:55] <Fa1> could somebody help me with Compiz (Super-Key doesn't work), please
[05:56] <sebastian> I can see it ass a USB device in "lsusb"
[05:56] <bronze> !mouse
[05:56] <ubotu> Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
 its says policy ACCEPT
[05:56] <ProN00b> anyone wana recommend me a good apt-gettable game ?
[05:56] <mike3_> sebastian, Doesn't mean it has the proper module assosicated with the device.
 nothing more
[05:56] <pcom> marcel__: cd to the dir its in and type 'sudo sh install.sh' i think thats how i did it
[05:56] <fire_storm_> neil : i cant find any of those..
[05:56] <mike3_> associated
[05:56] <IdleOne> ProN00b, search for games in synaptic there are several
[05:56] <Arenlor> ProNOOb I like Einstein myself
[05:56] <dosage> Fal: I fought with that for the past couple hours, I ended up changing key conbinations to avoid the use of <Super>
[05:56] <askand> Will compiz-fusion be default in gutsy?
[05:56] <lazellama> mike3_, rgr pike_  rgr. but I don't understand why when i tried it the other way by using .fluxbox/startup or even fluxbox.desktop it said it "didn't exist" or "could not be found"
[05:56] <sebastian> mike3_, How do i solve it then?
[05:56] <Fa1> could somebody help me with Compiz (Super-Key doesn't work), please?
[05:57] <ProN00b> IdleOne, yeah, i could do that, but i wan't someone to recommend one and not search and try all of them myself
[05:57] <IdleOne> Fa1, #ubuntu-effects can help you
[05:57] <Pici> askand: It will at least be in the ubuntu repositories I believe.  I am running it myself.
[05:57] <Fa1> IdleOne: thank you
[05:57] <mike3_> sebastian, Find the supported module for your device. Google is the best place to start.
[05:57] <mike3_> lazellama, .fluxbox/startup is where you put files to startup after fluxbox starts. The fluxbox.desktop I'm not sure about.
[05:57] <iFries> Hi! :-) Is there anyone that can tell me how to resize a directory full of pictures with imagemagick? I can't figure out the right command ..
[05:58] <askand> Pici: Ok I tried to install from someone elses repositories earlier but didnt work..
[05:58] <dinamoj> ff
[05:58] <neil> fire_storm_: Adding it in at the bottom should work I believe
[05:58] <askand> Pici:you dont have to have beryl/emerald installed for it to work, right?
[05:58] <neil> that whole section
[05:58] <mike3_> lazellama, By adding to .xinitrc did it start for you?
[05:58] <Fa1> dosage: sorry, didn't see your message
[05:58] <Pici> askand: No, I dont. I removed that before I installed.
[05:58] <mike3_> sebastian, Which USB device?
[05:58] <fire_storm_> neil : ok i changed it, now i exit?
[05:58] <lazellama> trying now... one sec
[05:58] <Fa1> dosage: you also have feisty?
[05:58] <dosage> Yeah
[05:59] <askand> Pici: did you remove any compizpackages before install? or desktop-effects?
[05:59] <Pici> askand: #ubuntu-effects or #ubuntu+1 might be able to help you if you have more gutsy/compiz questions.
[05:59] <Fa1> dosage: and really no solution other than just changing the keys
[05:59] <neil> fire_storm_: Added the whole section right, 3 lines?
[05:59] <miramana> lungan, so you are open to the wild
[05:59] <neil> now save, exit, and restart x
[05:59] <marcel__> it says can't compile sh
[05:59] <Pici> askand: I did actually, but thats because my repos were all messed up.
[05:59] <neil> ctrl-alt-backspace
[05:59] <sebastian> mike3_, Bus 005 Device 003: ID 04c8:072f Konica Corp.
[05:59] <Fa1> dosage: perhaps I'll install Beryl instead
[05:59] <marcel__> sorry 'can't open compile.sh'
[05:59] <neil> If you messed up it'll fail, and you'll need to go back into a console and remove the lines,should be fine though :)
[06:00] <dosage> Fal: Thats an option, I think my issue is with my keyboard layout
[06:00] <mike3_> sebastian, Is that a camera?
[06:00] <dosage> Fal: I dont think ubuntu "knows" that I have a Super key
[06:01] <Fa1> dosage: I already tried xmodmap, but without results, so it isn't likely to be the Keyboardlayout
[06:01] <miramana> !firewall | lungan
[06:01] <ubotu> lungan: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[06:01] <sebastian> mike3_, Yes.. Its a Konica Revio 420Z
[06:01] <mike3_> dosage, I'm pretty sure Ubuntu has nothing to do with it. it's your key mapping
[06:01] <lazellama> mike3_, what should i do with my /usr/share/xsessions/fluxbox.desktop? should i alter the line Exec= and make it say /home/me/.xinitrc or does .xinitrc get loaded anyway?
[06:01] <kitche> lazellama: .xinitrc is only read by startx leave the .desktop files as is
[06:01] <neil> Does anyone know the current nvidia driver version in the ubuntu repository?
[06:01] <neil> OR how to find out??
[06:02] <neil> I want the new one as it apparently fixes ACPI issues..
[06:02] <mike3_> lazellama, Don't worry about that file. It has nothing to do with loading fluxbox up
[06:02] <lungan> ubotu, ok thx, but i don't think its my firewall, beacuse i can be logged in to diablo 2 in like 10seconds before get connection interrupted
[06:02] <kitche> neil: have to compile it manually most likely
[06:02] <dosage> Well I push the button and nothing happens, not too many things that can go wrong =P
[06:02] <skreet> anyone know how to increase the timeout for remote ssh access?
[06:02] <mon^rch> is there a syntax for joining two video files together?
[06:02] <Kingpin> Has anyone successfully installed drivers for an ATI Radeon x1600pro?
[06:02] <neil> kitche: Lame :( How can I find out whats in the repositories?
[06:03] <Fa1> Kingpin: yes, I have
[06:03] <neil> http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=nvidia&searchon=names&subword=1&version=feisty&release=all
[06:03] <lazellama> kitche, the .desktop file currently has Exec=/usr/local/bin/startfluxbox and that gives errors...so i should just leave it?
[06:03] <jmorales> ola
[06:03] <kitche> neil: by looking at the package version number
[06:03] <neil> tried this, but nowhere mentions the nvidia driver version itself
[06:03] <mike3_> sebastian, You should be able to just mount that camera and extract the pictures ..
[06:03] <Pici> neil: check the changelogs.
[06:03] <Fa1> Kingpin: but actually you just have to klick a button, don't you?
[06:03] <mike3_> sebastian, Ubuntu has that option automatically compiled in the kernel.
[06:03] <sebastian> ok
[06:03] <sebastian> mike3_, But nothing happens when i connect it
[06:03] <Kingpin> I'm not sure I tried downloading the linux drivver of the ati site and i can't seem to run it
[06:03] <mike3_> sebastian,open a shell
[06:04] <sebastian> yeah?
[06:04] <sebastian> Done..  When you plug the camera in, does anything happen?
[06:04] <neil> Pici: Nice one, its 96.31...
[06:04] <mon^rch> how can I join 2 vid files together in linux?
[06:04] <skreet> anyone know how to increase the timeout for remote ssh access?
[06:04] <sebastian> mike3_, Nothing other than that it pops up in the list "lsusb"
[06:04] <miramana> mon^rch, avidemux
[06:05] <marcel__> can anyone help me install gstreamer?
[06:05] <mike3_> sebastian, hrm... I would of thought it reconized it as a mass storage device. For instance a pen drive.
[06:05] <mike3_> Most camera's work that way.
[06:05] <sebastian> Exactly :)
[06:05] <sebastian> Can I mount it by hand?
[06:05] <OmegaCenti> Is there no folder thumbnail software in Linux? I have really been trying to find this. the best I could find was a feature request in 2002 for nautilus... its development status is, "future". I think they weren't kidding.
[06:06] <neil> Will we have to wait for gutsy to get the nvidia 100.x drivers?
[06:06] <sebastian> You know, with the info i get from "lsusb"
[06:06] <mike3_> sebastian, you can try
[06:06] <neil> Tbh they are kinda needed
[06:06] <kitche> neil: compile them yourself if you need them
[06:06] <paulk> any grub guru's in?
[06:06] <mike3_> sebastian, mount /dev/sda1 /dir/dirc
[06:06] <Kingpin> Fal: if you could tell me how you installed the drivers for that card that'd be awesome
[06:06] <skreet> anyone know how to increase the timeout for remote ssh access?
[06:06] <mike3_> sebastian, mount /dev/sdaX /dir/dirc
[06:06] <mike3_> sorry
[06:06] <neil> kitche: Any idea where I can find a guide where to do that?
[06:07] <MSIGuy> So, here's a problem, when ever I try to login as root, using su it tells me I have the wrong password, but when I sudo a command it lets me in.
[06:07] <kitche> !envy | neil
[06:07] <neil> Will it break anything? :D
[06:07] <ubotu> neil: envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[06:07] <MSIGuy> Anyone know why?  lol
[06:07] <kitche> !nvidia | neil follow the guide
[06:07] <ubotu> neil follow the guide: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:07] <mike3_> MSIGuy, yes
[06:07] <Pici> MSIGuy: so, use sudo not su.  sudo is the preferred way to get root access.
[06:07] <mike3_> MSIGuy, do a "sudo passwd root"
[06:07] <user_1> MSIGuy: su is disabled by default in ubuntu
[06:07] <pcom> does anybody know if i'd just use /etc/init.d/gnome-session stop to end the GUI? or would i need to end everything?
[06:07] <miramana> !root ! MSIGuy
[06:07] <MSIGuy> Oh, really?
[06:07] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about root ! msiguy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:08] <Kingpin> Has anyone successfully installed drivers for an ATI Radeon x1600pro?
[06:08] <mike3_> MSIGuy, add your user to the wheel group
[06:08] <kitche> !noroot
[06:08] <ubotu> Regardless of your choice: Please do not advise against user security policy and create a root password, please see !rootsudo
[06:08] <mike3_> MSIGuy, Should be able to do it then
[06:08] <user_1> MsiGuy: Yes. By default, root has no password.
[06:08] <paulk> can anyone help me with a device mapping issue in grub?
[06:08] <Pici> kitche: Thanks, I was looking for that factoid.
[06:08] <MSIGuy> I didn't know that su was disabbled.
[06:08] <miramana> !root | MSIGuy
[06:08] <ubotu> MSIGuy: do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[06:08] <kane77> MSIGuy, you have to set password for su... sudo and su are different things (the same user but in different way)...
[06:08] <sebastian> mike3_, What do you mean with /dev/sdaX
[06:08] <sebastian> ?
[06:08] <MSIGuy> Ah....
[06:08] <mike3_> MSIGuy, You can use either one
[06:08] <kitche> Pici: gnomefreak told me about it in a pm the other day
[06:08] <neil> kitche: Doesnt that page just say to use the restricted drivers thing? The package in the ubuntu repository isnt what I'm after, I want the newer one from nvidia
[06:08] <marcel__> gstreamer installation, anyone?
[06:09] <kitche> neil: it tells you how to compiel one also if you wish
[06:09] <Kingpin> Has anyone successfully installed drivers for an ATI Radeon x1600pro?
[06:09] <kunwon1> Disregard All
[06:09] <Ecnerifed_> lo all, how can i kill a session from console?
[06:09] <Pici> !ops | all
[06:09] <ubotu> all: Help! Mez, LjL, elkbuntu, imbrandon, DBO, gnomefreak, Hobbsee, rob, ompaul, Madpilot, Burgundavia, Seveas, CarlK, crimsun, ajmitch, tritium, Nalioth, thoreauputic, apokryphos, tonyyarusso, PriceChild, Amaranth, jrib, jenda, nixternal, Myrtti or mneptok
[06:09] <gordonjcp> !ops All is spamming
[06:09] <gnomefreak> Pici: ?
[06:09] <gordonjcp> Pici: beat me to it
[06:09] <sebastian> Ecnerifed_, kill [PID]
[06:10] <Pici> gnomefreak: see above
[06:10] <sebastian> Ecnerifed_, Or.. killall [name]
[06:10] <gnomefreak> Pici: handled
[06:10] <troopperi> !kill | Pici
[06:10] <ubotu> Pici: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).   That's a manual mount
[06:11] <Pici> marcel__: Search synaptic for gstreamer, there are multiple packages for you to choose from.
[06:11] <mike3_> sebastian, I'm out for lunch. I will talk to you when I get back if you are around
[06:12] <Pici> marcel__: You might want to just sudo apt-get install totem-gstreamer though
[06:12] <sebastian> mike3_, Thanks, and bon apetit..
[06:12] <sebastian> :P
[06:12] <marcel__> o.k, I will try
[06:12] <user_1> Ecnerifed_: I think something like "killall gnome" would do ?
[06:13] <neil> kitche: Nice one, you mean method 2 on here im guessing? http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_nvidia_feisty#METHOD_2
[06:13] <neil> my only question - upgrading kernels and whatnot will break the graphics, correct/
[06:13] <Kingpin> I get a black screen on startup using restricted drivers any ideas how use the driver w/o this happening
[06:14] <Tm_T> neil: why should it?
[06:14] <troopperi> Kingpin: what card you have
[06:14] <Kingpin> x1600pro
[06:14] <Kingpin> pcie
[06:14] <neil> If you use a custom driver, ie not from restricted modules or a .deb, it does surely?
[06:14] <Tm_T> neil: only if your drivers doesn't upgrade at the same time
[06:14] <neil> If you compile your own, then surely they wont?
[06:14] <neil> :)
[06:14] <coco> hola
[06:15] <Tm_T> neil: no unless you do so
[06:15] <Kingpin> Well the only thing i've tried is the restricted driver that I got from the ati site
[06:15] <neil> Tm_T ok, as I thought then..
[06:15] <neil> Just realised that page doesnt tell you how to compile your own, but how to install the nvidia .run file, but I guess thats fine
[06:16] <user_1> How long does it ussualy take until a bug (via launchpad) is fixed?
[06:16] <Tm_T> neil: well, when you don't use packages, you get responsibility, simple
[06:16] <user_1> Or does the time greatly vary?
[06:16] <neil> Tm_T yup
[06:16] <Tm_T> user_1: yes does
[06:16] <placebo> hi
[06:16] <paulk> i have ubuntu on Hda1 and XP on sda1 , however i am not pointing grub to the right partition for XP and it wont boot
[06:16] <user_1> But there's probably something like a minimum
[06:16] <paulk> http://pastebin.4programmers.net/2699
[06:16] <user_1> time
[06:17] <Tm_T> user_1: yes, like last year
[06:17] <neverblue> anyone know how to NOT let a keypress toggle 'xset -dpms' ? (I am trying to keep a display off for a length of time)
[06:17] <troopperi> Kingpin: tried to change xorg.conf file driver "vesa" to "ati"
[06:17] <user_1> Tm_T: so it could take several months??? lol
[06:17] <Kingpin> troopperi: I'll try that now
[06:18] <Tm_T> user_1: well, it could be already fixed when reported, or it could take a year, it just depends
[06:18] <placebo> i would know a book to learn to use linux please
[06:18] <troopperi> Kingpin: tried to change xorg.conf file driver "vesa" to "ati" and chage it back if it wont work
[06:18] <Kingpin> ok
[06:18] <user_1> Aha. So you just have to wait?
[06:18] <Tm_T> user_1: or help fixing it
[06:19] <user_1> Tm_T: How do you do that?
[06:19] <Tm_T> user_1: it depends
[06:19] <vertigo> hello, is there a way to make my login user root in an Ubuntu Gnome install? I would like to be able to trash stuff in the /home/username directory without having to use a terminal
[06:19] <Tm_T> user_1: sometimes bugs need more info, sometimes they are not usable at all and should be closed, sometimes there's testing needed etc
[06:19] <vertigo> right now it reply's with: You dont have rights to do this
[06:20] <user_1> Tm_T: How do I now if more info or tests are needed?
[06:20] <kritzstapf> vertigo: alt+f2: gksudo nautilus
[06:20] <user_1> (I want it to be fixed soon - so I'd help with all the information I have)
[06:21] <wyrdsystir> How do I uninstall Ubuntu from a machine? I have been searching for this answer in forums and on the net and none of the suggestions I have found there work for me
[06:21] <Tm_T> user_1: good question, devel should inform that, though common sense might tell something
[06:21] <Tm_T> user_1: anyway, depends on what is the bug
[06:21] <user_1> Tm_T: So I'd get an email (I reported it via launchpad)
[06:21] <vertigo> kritzstapf: do i have to type that every time?
[06:21] <Tm_T> user_1: maybe
[06:21] <kritzstapf> "every time", why do you want to be root that often?
[06:22] <neverblue> wyrdsystir, because you need to look for "how to install an operating system"
[06:22] <user_1> Thanks. Bye
[06:22] <vertigo> no idea, i just like to be able to access everything without having to type commands.. :)
[06:23] <placebo> hi I need help because i can use beryl in my ubuntu ultimate because i don't found the drivers of my ATI X1700
[06:23] <kritzstapf> vertigo: what about creating a symbol on your desktop which executes "gksudo nautilus", so you can start a nautilus with root-rights without having to use a command
[06:23] <vertigo> would get me a security prob though.. btw, are there any Linux Virusscanners / Adaware scanners? I know linux is extremely safe.. but safe enough to run without?
[06:23] <Pici> !virus | vertigo
[06:23] <ubotu> vertigo: A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[06:23] <vertigo> tnx kritzstapf and Pici :)
[06:23] <Pici> vertigo: er, thats not what I wanted.  clamav is available if you want a virus scanner.
[06:24] <pike_> vertigo: i think rootkit scanners are more popular and that should give you an idea of how safe it is
[06:24] <troopperi> !fglrx | placebo
[06:24] <ubotu> placebo: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:24] <kritzstapf> clamav mainly detects windows-viruses :D
[06:24] <vertigo> lol
[06:24] <placebo> thank you
[06:24] <vertigo> well, i dont want my Linux puter to infect the windows ones..
[06:25] <kitche> vertigo: only if you share files or use the linux computer for a mail server will it be infected
[06:25] <placebo> thank you to all
[06:26] <soyporti> hello, how can i install a pixma 1700 in feisty fawn and in a computer that is not conected to the internet?
[06:26] <wyrdsystir> hello
[06:26] <Kingpin> how do i edit my xorg.conf?
[06:26] <troopperi> Kingpin: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:26] <olliwoll1> hi I have a problem translating a pygtk application I wrote. In which channel I can ask people for help for this topic?
[06:26] <kritzstapf> Kingpin: alt+f2: "gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[06:26] <kritzstapf> :)
[06:26] <kitche> Kingpin: there is three ways really sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf or sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:26] <bronze> Kingpin, sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:26] <kitche> olliwoll1: maybe the gtk channel?
[06:26] <Rei-chan> Hey, I have an older box that 6.10 and Feisty reboot when I stick the CD in. If I grab an older version of Ubuntu, can I serial upgrade to Feisty?
[06:27] <Kingpin> ok i'll pick on of those loll
[06:27] <NET||abuse> hmm, setup picassa there!! bloody rules.. great program..
[06:27] <olliwoll1> kitche: it is more a gettext thing than pygtk
[06:27] <kitche> olliwoll1: then ask gnu channel
[06:27] <olliwoll1> kitche: thanks
[06:27] <olliwoll1> join #gnu
[06:28] <soyporti> anyone knows about a pixma 1700 driver cause i can't find it!

[06:28] <Mind_Distortion> hi
[06:28] <MSIGuy> So I just installed Compiz, and was all good, but after a reboot, all my effects went away...  o.O
[06:28] <MSIGuy> What gives?  lol
[06:28] <hylje> Rei-chan: i believe you can upgrade release by release
[06:29] <Rei-chan> Anyone know if the older versions are still available?
[06:29] <NET||abuse> hah,, a google channel.
[06:29] <NET||abuse> funny.
[06:29] <indigo> OMG...nethack is in universe! what is something so important doing in there?
[06:30] <kitche> indigo: ?
[06:31] <indigo> nethack should be a base package at least
[06:31] <wyrdsystir> is ignoring people done on purpose?

[06:32] <wyrdsystir> great very funny
[06:32] <Mind_Distortion> i 'have an asus m2v but he doesent work with feisy faen! the sound is none
[06:32] <Mind_Distortion> fawn
[06:32] <benmayim> I installed ubuntu server 7.04, it asked during installation if I wanted LAMP or some other server, I picked LAMP, but when I added Ubuntu desktop and searche for apache2.config and the php and mysql config files, there were none. Did LAMP server get installed or not?
 thanks a lot  :)
[06:33] <troopperi> soyporit: if its help :P
[06:33] <kritzstapf> Mind_Distortion: what does alsamixer say?
[06:33] <dotpavan> !patience > wyrdsystir
[06:33] <Mind_Distortion> hda via VT82xx
[06:33] <miramana> benmayim, nothing in /etc ?
[06:34] <benmayim> right, miramana, nothing in /etc.
[06:34] <kacuriel> kacuriel
[06:34] <mypapit> kacuriel?
 the alsamixer say  hda via VT82xx
[06:34] <reed026> miramana, I'm at the partion screen for Loading Ubuntu Server, to overrule this Grub 18 error, should I make 1 partion that is 512mb and then the other partion would have the 139.5gb?
[06:34] <benmayim> Did installing the ubuntu desktop take it away, or did it never install?
[06:35] <kritzstapf> Mind_Distortion: and is this the actual soundchip?
[06:35] <Mind_Distortion> yes
[06:35] <kritzstapf> are the channels unmuted?
[06:35] <dotpavan> benmayim, see your localhost to check of apache is installed
[06:35] <kitche> benmayim: some people say that there is a bug with LAMP install
[06:36] <kitche> benmayim: but what does http://localhost show you
[06:36] <neverblue> anyone know how to NOT let a keypress toggle 'xset -dpms' ? (I am trying to keep a display off for a length of time)
[06:36] <benmayim> how do you see your local host?
[06:36] <kitche> benmayim: in a browser go to http://localhost
[06:36] <miramana> reed026, you can create a 100mb part for /boot to overcome grub's limits and place / anythere
[06:36] <kitche> benmayim: if you use another computer go to http://<ip of server>
[06:37] <benmayim> oh, let me try that, but I don't see how that could work if i have none of the apache2 files in /etc
[06:37] <miramana> reed026, i mean, 100 mb at the beginning
[06:37] <benmayim> be back later.
[06:37] <pcom> benmayin: you do have apache installed and running?
[06:37] <reed026> so I would need a 100mb partion and then I could use the rest for the Ubuntu install? Would I still need a swap and all of that?
[06:37] <dotpavan> benmayim, it would be /var/www
[06:38] <zpc9999> mn,
[06:39] <andax11> vertigo: one should use root acces as carefully considered as Clark uses his superman-powers.... only when it's really important and no one else could do it. To repair something, or install.... and logout as soon as you don't need root access anymore. ;)
[06:40] <benmayim> What do you type in the web browser to see if apache is running?
[06:41] <incorrect> stupid question, but can you assign ip address by host name?
[06:41] <iceportal> benmayim - if it's installed on your computer, just http://<IP_ADDRESS> maybe
[06:41] <gordonjcp> benmayim: try the ip address of your computer
[06:41] <gordonjcp> incorrect: what do you mean?
[06:41] <dotpavan> incorrect, yes, for ex dyndns
[06:41] <incorrect> rather than assign a static ip
[06:41] <gordonjcp> incorrect: or rather, what exactly are you trying to do?
[06:41] <benmayim> or http://localhost?
[06:41] <incorrect> normally you use mac
[06:41] <iceportal> benmayim yes
[06:42] <incorrect> well i would like to say that system001 has .1 as its ip
[06:42] <max_> #examen
[06:42] <iceportal> o.o
[06:42] <incorrect> 002 get .2 so on and so forth
[06:42] <incorrect> rather than doing something like dhcp -> dns updates
[06:42] <omha> what is the mixer called?
[06:42] <gordonjcp> incorrect: I'm still not getting what you're trying to do here
[06:43] <gordonjcp> incorrect: do you mean use hostnames instead of mac addresses?
[06:43] <incorrect> gordonjcp, exactly!
[06:43] <gordonjcp> incorrect: no, you can't
[06:43] <incorrect> oh well :)
[06:43] <Otacon22> how can i see the total consume of the cpu using ps
[06:43] <dotpavan> incorrect, dyndns, no-ip are such services online
[06:43] <incorrect> nevermind
[06:43] <Otacon22> ?
[06:43] <gordonjcp> incorrect: the hostnmae is kind of an alias for the ip address
[06:43] <gordonjcp> it's not, but it helps to think of it that way
[06:43] <gordonjcp> Otacon22: you could use top
[06:43] <Otacon22> no
[06:44] <Otacon22> i need to use ps
[06:44] <incorrect> gordonjcp, well dhcp does transmit the name so i wonder if you could say,  if i get host001 send ip .1
[06:44] <incorrect> its cool, ill think of something else
[06:44] <brk3> is there a way to turn off window transparency in compiz some of my apps appear slightly transparent by default..
[06:44] <gordonjcp> Otacon22: I'm not sure you can use ps for that
[06:45] <Otacon22> gordonjcp, i need something that return to command line, like ps, not like top that stay open, i need to get the ouput and using in a my program
[06:45] <gordonjcp> Otacon22: what about 'cat /proc/loadavg' ?
[06:46] <miramana> Otacon22, top -b -n1
[06:46] <Otacon22> ok, now i try
[06:46] <incorrect> i guess i should assign static ip addresses :S
[06:47] <sparrw> Can anyone recommend a distro with [K] Ubuntu's superior desktop integration and out-of-the-box configuration, but debian's release schedule?
[06:47] <ruks> hey whats a good torrent site besides demonoid.com since its down?
[06:48] <terlmann> thepiratebay.org ?
[06:48] <terlmann> isotorrent.com ?
[06:48] <osxdude> nininova.org? isohunt?
[06:48] <terlmann> google it

[06:48] <Pici> !offtopic
[06:48] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[06:48] <terlmann> Piracy is illegal in my country
[06:49] <sparrw> jhaig: err, i meant the other way around, with stableish packages available SOONER
[06:49] <kitche> Pici: ah that is the switch for it :)
[06:49] <terlmann> freedom of speech
[06:49] <sparrw> Pici: using ubuntu is questionably legal.  so what do we talk about in here?
[06:49] <terlmann> no pirates exist
[06:49] <terlmann> just harmless users
[06:49] <terlmann> ubuntu is illigal!!
[06:49] <terlmann> linux is illegal
[06:49] <Pici> sparrw: Bring it up with the ops if you have problems with the policies. #ubuntu-ops
[06:49] <terlmann> worshop microcrap!
[06:50] <jhaig> sparrw: I'm confused.  You want [K] Ubuntu's release cycle and [K] Ubuntu's desktop integration and configuration?
[06:50] <troopperi> terlmann: explain
[06:50] <Otacon22> gordonjcp, i need also to know the name of the process that consume the largest part of ram
[06:50] <Otacon22> for the cpu i can use: ps aux --sort=%cpu
[06:50] <kitche> sparrw: it's not questionably legal to use linux
[06:50] <sparrw> jhaig: no, i want what i said.  when i say debian, i dont just mean the last step of their releases, i mean the whole thing.
[06:50] <Otacon22> but for memory ram ps aux --sort=%mem don't work
[06:50] <gordonjcp> think you can sort by memory usage too with ps
[06:50] <sparrw> kitche: sure it is, for patent reasons if nothing else
[06:50] <ecstasy`> euuw ubuntu *leave*
[06:50] <gordonjcp> sparrw: no it's not
[06:51] <sparrw> gordonjcp: you MIGHT be violating someones patent, somewhere, by using ubuntu.  that makes it questionably legal.
[06:51] <gordonjcp> sparrw: no, I guarantee you I'm not
[06:51] <sparrw> jhaig: i want the equivalent of debian "unstable" in a ubuntu-like distro
[06:52] <terlmann> freedom of speech would really mean no intellectual property. it would not exist.
[06:52] <sparrw> gordonjcp: so if i told you i had a patent that covered the ext2 and ext3 filesystems, you would say... ?
[06:52] <daquino>  so there seems to be some various uml support packages but yet nothing directly for installing uml ?
[06:52] <terlmann> thoughts cannot be patented
[06:52] <gordonjcp> sparrw: furthermore, unless someone actually comes forward and says that Ubuntu (or any other flavour of Linux) is violating patents, it's not
