[03:57] <jrib> kenthomson: pastebin your sources.list and a list of what packages you installed manually
[03:57] <kenthomson> jrib, alright!
[03:57] <fnf> I've seen screenshots of GNOME notification messages with nice thumbnails, not just ordinary tooltips, but my system just shows the normal tooltips. Does anyone have the same issue ?
[03:57] <psygrass> billy: i tried now to run search for updates and i got the same message.
[03:58] <Cave`> can I integrate my sudo password in a launcher commands?
[03:58] <felixruina> pc05b:  just holler when you need me :)
[03:58] <jrib> Cave`: use gksudo
[03:58] <kylequamme> peace otu
[03:58] <Cave`> roger:)
[03:58] <kylequamme> peace out
[03:58] <fnf> The notifications of Rhythmbox in particular, they're just normal tooltips.
[03:58] <Vilhelms> Is it safe to upgrade to gnome 2.18?
[03:58] <psygrass> billy: when i try to (show updates) the update manager shows up then goes off...... but the icon still in the systray
[03:58] <simon> Hey. When I am updating my ubuntu do I have to do sth after downloading all packeges . Do I have install them or it will be done automatic ??
[03:58] <jrib> fnf: did you enable the album art plugin?  I'm not sure what version of rhythmbox that was included in
[03:59] <I3ooI3oo> sorry bayriders : I don't have any good advice,
[03:59] <billy> psygrass:  well darn.  I've got a repository for Google Earth, but I'm not sure that'll solve your problem.
[03:59] <mbac> does ubuntu have a borg-style voice-synthesizer?
[03:59] <psygrass> ok
[03:59] <jrib> Vilhelms: no, but it might be ok to install it in a different place if you know what you are doing
[03:59] <mbac> you know, so you can make something say "we are the borg. resistance is futile. muffins for breakfast tomorrow" and it'll speak it just like the borg?
[03:59] <soweto76> Vilhelms, I think gdm starts xfce with /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc
[03:59] <rm_you> mbac: omg I NEED that now :P
[03:59] <scarnia> Has anyone sucessfully compiled a kernel with support for jmicron chipset present in 965p boards?
[03:59] <mbac> it can't be that hard, it's probably just like 100 voice synthesizers all playing at once
[03:59] <rm_you> Someone should get on that :P
[04:00] <jrib> fnf: "Cover Art" seems to be the exact plugin name
[04:00] <Vilhelms> soweto76, no it uses startxfce4
[04:00] <kenthomson> jrib, In day to day operations there is nothing wrong with my system, I can update all packages, run synaptic, aptitude apt-get, and do everything. the command "sudo apt-get -f install" to tell me everything is OK. It is onyl aptitude -f install, that is screwing things up!
[04:00] <fnf> jrib: yes, and its tooltips show the song's picture too. But the tooltip is just, well, old rectangle, not one looks like a cartoon dialog.
[04:00] <EnsignRedshirt> Mmmmmm... muffins....
[04:00] <rm_you> just make a new voice plugin for festival "borg" :P
[04:00] <jrib> fnf: oh, I'm not sure I understand.  Did you link to the picture you saw?
[04:00] <kenthomson> jrib, my sources.list is here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10486/
[04:00] <billy> psygrass:  the best I can recommend is to go to ubuntuforums.org and start a thread.  Someone there will be able to help you.  Just remember to take deep breaths regularly. :)
[04:00] <jrib> kenthomson: aptitude probably worries about recommended packages too
[04:00] <fnf> jrib: sure, http://www.gnome.org/start/2.18/notes/en/
[04:01] <jrib> kenthomson: I ignore aptitude when it tells me packages are broken...
[04:01] <ardchoille> jrib: It does by default but you can disable that option
[04:01] <fnf> jrib: you may see the tooltip "Another user is viewing your desktop" is pretty.
[04:01] <omeil> is there any small app i can test my java on?
[04:01] <psygrass> billy: lol... ok. thanx a lot.
[04:01] <jrib> kenthomson: (I listen to apt-get) though
[04:01] <kenthomson> jrib, i manually installed packages like azureus (from jar) wengophone audacious, and other inconsequential stuff
[04:01] <billy> psygrass:  no prob.  wish I could have been a better help.  At least I did no harm.
[04:01] <pipe> irc.freenode.net
[04:01] <wtigerguy> totem is not working it says it needs necessary plugins
[04:01] <psygrass> billy: is there a way to back things up... just in case somethings goes wrong.. like this?
[04:01] <fnf> jrib: But mine is normal tooltip, not sure whether I disabled something. I tested it in a new Feisty system in vmware, still the same.
[04:02] <pipe> hi all
[04:02] <I3ooI3oo> www.time.gov
[04:02] <I3ooI3oo> have clock there
[04:02] <kenthomson> jrib, i want the command sudo aptitude -f install to go give cleam output, this is what it gives to me, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10483/, What do you suggest i do?
[04:02] <pantico> hi all
[04:02] <kenthomson> !hi | pantico
[04:02] <ubotu> pantico: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:02] <billy> psygrass: not of this nature, I don't think.  the closest thing would be a "system restore", which I don't know if ubuntu does.
[04:02] <jrib> fnf: well that's gnome 2.18, it may be why.  It also might be themeable now, I'm not sure
[04:02] <kenthomson> fnf, if a tooltip woories you so much; what about the candy-wrapper on the pavement? ;-)
[04:03] <fnf> jrib: are you using GNOME overthere ?
[04:03] <soweto76> Vilhelms, yes but startxfce4 calls /etc/xdg/xfce4/xinitrc unless you have a custom one in .config/xfec4
[04:03] <psygrass> billy: thanx. i will try to look for it.
[04:03] <jrib> fnf: yes, by notifications are yellow rectangles
[04:03] <fnf> kenthomson: 'course not, I'm mainly a console user :) just curious
[04:03] <wtigerguy> i need help
[04:03] <kenthomson> fnf, alright! than
[04:03] <fnf> jrib: thanks.
[04:03] <billy> wtigerguy:  what plugins do you need?
[04:03] <kenthomson> jrib, so?
[04:03] <jrib> kenthomson: pressing enter will give you clean output, and then I imagine you will be missing things you want
[04:03] <Vilhelms> soweto76, Yeah it seems to do so
[04:04] <kenthomson> fnf, i too aspire one day to become a complete console user!
[04:04] <wtigerguy> i don't know i am trying to play dvd's
[04:04] <kenthomson> jrib, thats what i guesses i thought i would meet someone with deeper insight into this problem ;-)
[04:04] <Stonekeeper> anyone know how to setup fake raid from the dapper server CD? IE a way of installing dmraid from the installer?
[04:04] <kenthomson> jrib, what do you suggest
[04:04] <pipe> someone got Compiz?
[04:04] <kenthomson> !raid | Stonekeeper
[04:04] <ubotu> Stonekeeper: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[04:04] <kenthomson> pipe /join #compiz
[04:04] <fnf> kenthomson: yeah, it's real fun and efficient that way. Web browsing is the only thing that keeps me from shutting X though
[04:05] <kenthomson> fnf, you have w3m
[04:05] <billy> wtigerguy:  do you have the universe and multiverse repositories enabled in Synaptic Package Manager?
[04:05] <rausb0> kenthomson: w3m rocks
[04:05] <pipe> ok thnx
[04:05] <pipe> :P
[04:05] <kenthomson> fnf, w3m and elinks allow extremely effecient web-browsing in text-mode
[04:05] <kenthomson> rauble, sure as hell!
[04:05] <fnf> kenthomson: no images for you there though, I used links with framebuffer but that doesn't work with all sites.
[04:05] <wtigerguy> i don't know how i am new to this
[04:05] <Roadrunner1985> hello can somebody tell me how to activate 5.1 audio in ubuntu 5.10?
[04:06] <kenthomson> fnf, but graphics = X. So you can't want expect to watch movies, play-games at the CLI ;-0
[04:06] <CaptainMorgan> I don't see pid's for users... is there a way to kick someone from a server if they've already connected?
[04:06] <I3ooI3oo> roadruner 5.10 ot 6.10 ?
[04:06] <CaptainMorgan> via ftp, or sshd?
[04:06] <kenthomson> CaptainMorgan, ask in #help
[04:06] <pipe> how can i install a file.patch?
[04:06] <Roadrunner1985> ah sorry. 6.10
[04:06] <billy> wtigerguy:  no worries.  In the top panel, click on System, then Administration, then Synaptic Package Manager.  Let me know when you have it opened.
[04:06] <kenthomson> pipe, patch file-old file-new
[04:06] <sidny4> when I run aMSN it quickly minimizes to the tray and I can't access it. In the terminal it leaves: attempt to provide package tls 1.5 failed: tls 1.50 provided instead
[04:06] <fnf> kenthomson: not quite ;) except gaming, which I love nethack, I can watch movies with mplayer.
[04:06] <kenthomson> pipe, sudo it
[04:06] <sidny4> any idea how to fix that?
[04:07] <kenthomson> fnf, at the CLI?
[04:07] <pipe> ok
[04:07] <jrib> pipe: you don't install them, you use patch.  patch -p N < file.patch   see 'man patch' for an explanation of the -p thing
[04:07] <CaptainMorgan> kenthomson,  I don't understand.. this concerns ubuntu
[04:07] <kenthomson> jrib, so?
[04:07] <fnf> kenthomson: yeah, mplayer and links use the framebuffer to display high-res/high color depth at the console.
[04:07] <Roadrunner1985> I3ooI3oo, it is ubuntu 6.10
[04:07] <kenthomson> fnf, didn't know that
[04:08] <fnf> kenthomson: you may get at max 1024x768x24 with the vesafb.
[04:08] <I3ooI3oo> i saw that... looking
[04:08] <Roadrunner1985> okay
[04:08] <kenthomson> fnf, what are the packages i need to do that
[04:08] <jrib> kenthomson: ignore it really, or look into each line and find out what it says you need and why you can't have it etc.
[04:08] <wtigerguy> ok
[04:08] <kenthomson> jrib, ok
[04:08] <sidny4> is there a way to update TLS? I get the error: attempt to provide package tls 1.5 failed: package tls 1.50 provided instead
[04:08] <fnf> kenthomson: you just need to enable the framebuffer, vesafb is the most reliable, which can be enabled by passing vga=xxx as a kernel param

[04:10] <jrib> busfahrer: beryl is not in ubuntu repositories
[04:10] <EnsignRedshirt> kenthomson: Have you mixed using aptitude with apt-get or some other apt program?  I don't know the details, but I have heard that once you start using aptitude, you should always use aptitude.

[04:11] <wtigerguy> ok reddy
[04:12] <billy> |NewUser|: having 3 operating systems ought not be a problem.  the supergrub disc can fix your MBR automatically, or you can use it to boot into any of your OS's.
[04:12] <kenthomson> fnf, i'll look it up
[04:12] <Andy___> How do i change my screen res to 1280x800? Its not in the settings

[04:13] <kenthomson> fnf, that works perfectly fine and my whole system is perfectly fine, it is just that "sudo aptitude -f install" that is driving me nuts
[04:13] <|NewUser|> billy: I just want to fix my GRUB .. well now having a problem " GRUB loading stage1.5.,  GRUB loading. Please wait... "Error 17"
[04:13] <Andy___> Thanks, now how do i get proper ATI drivers or this isnt necesary?

[04:14] <Andy___> ok thanks, im reading the page you sent
[04:14] <billy> |NewUser| : download the disc I linked to.
[04:14] <kenthomson> fnf, what ya suggest
[04:15] <billy> wtigerguy:  everything come back OK?
[04:15] <kenthomson> billy, could you hell me?
[04:15] <fnf> kenthomson: in which case I'd backup the package cache, /etc and reinstall the system
[04:15] <|NewUser|> billy ok.. then burn it to CD? then boot from that disc?
[04:15] <wtigerguy> it says 404 error not found
[04:15] <billy> correct
[04:15] <fnf> kenthomson: if it's fixed, it's not guaranteed to be broken someday anyway.
[04:15] <firedog> i am having trouble getting beryl working. its in synaptic for me to install and the command line says that deb is not found as a command
[04:15] <rizhun> jrib - I've done that and set it up. Everything loads normally except I can't actually see whats on the second monitor.  Anything that opens on it, I have to right click on and 'Move' to the working display.
[04:15] <kenthomson> fnf, could you be a little more detailed, i am a newbie. iwhat is backing up cache
[04:15] <billy> wtigerguy:  you copy/pasted that into a terminal right?
[04:15] <wtigerguy> yes
[04:15] <kenthomson> fnf, did you meant if its NOT fixed..?
[04:15] <coeus> will an air port exterme card work with edgy?
[04:16] <php-freak> any one know of palces where I can support open source software, and they show my link on there site showing my company supported them?
[04:16] <kenthomson> !hardware | coeus
[04:16] <ubotu> coeus: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[04:16] <EnsignRedshirt> firedog: "deb" is not a command.  What did you try to do?
[04:16] <coeus> thanks
[04:16] <thee3> my login screen is scrolling. how do i fix that?
[04:16] <fnf> kenthomson: assuming you've downloaded a lot, upon reinstalling you don't want to download hundreds of MBs again, just backup the cache and reinstall.
[04:16] <fnf> kenthomson: ah, sure.
[04:16] <billy> wtigerguy:  sorry.  here it is.  `sudo wget http://download.videolan.org/pub/libdvdcss/1.2.9/deb/libdvdcss2_1.2.9-1_i386.deb`.
[04:16] <tehxed> Can anyone help with a Beryl related issue?
[04:16] <kenthomson> php-freak, all open-source programs need donators they may proudly display your company name
[04:16] <jrib> tehxed: try #ubuntu-effects
[04:17] <tehxed> jrib: Ehh.. I am about to.
[04:17] <Vilhelms> I'm having problems with alsa. Like, half the time I boot it won't work, and whenever I try to play anything I get 'device is busy' so I have to restart. Does anyone know why or how I could fix it? I'm getting really tired of this problem :(
[04:17] <kenthomson> fnf, how does one backup the cache. THis is a heavily modified ubuntu system, and i spent countless hours manually compiling and installing packages. You are asking me to take up a big ordeal,
[04:17] <firedog> ensignredshirt, i am looking at a wiki on Beryl... and it says that the repositories could be installed from synaptic, which doesnt have beryl listed, or through command line
[04:17] <fnf> kenthomson: the whole system config lies in /etc, your data should be in a separate /home already. So there's no hesitate to reinstall
[04:17] <fnf> kenthomson: it's in /var/cache/apt/archives
[04:17] <firedog> ensignredshirt, the command it says to add is deb http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/ edgy main
[04:17] <kenthomson> fnf, right! and where are my manually installed progs?
[04:18] <EnsignRedshirt> firedog: That is not a command. That is a line to be added to sources.list.
[04:18] <billy> wtigerguy:  did that one come back OK?
[04:18] <fnf> kenthomson: I take it that you kept the deb packages ?.
[04:18] <Andy___> The things only support installs for 9500 and above, i have ati mob radeon 9200, i just have to configure x or do i have to install something?
[04:18] <coeus> kenthomson I dont see airport extreme listen any where
[04:18] <kenthomson> fnf, so you mean to say i backup /home /etc and /var/cache/apt/archives, and than re-install
[04:18] <php-freak> kenthomson: do you know where I can get a list of open source software companies that I can support that will show my link to my company showing that I supporeted them?
[04:18] <fnf> kenthomson: or you installed with 'make install' only ?
[04:18] <firedog> ensignredshirt, OHH, i guess i would add that using a txt editor?
[04:18] <kenthomson> fnf, they didn't have the .debs, only tar.gz, which needed to be ./configure && make
[04:19] <kenthomson> fnf, moreover checkinstall normally doesn't work for me and complains a lot
[04:19] <fnf> kenthomson: yup, and the customized data is intact, installing is faster  easier
[04:19] <kenthomson> coeus, sorry no idea
[04:19] <wtigerguy> no
[04:19] <Andy___> The things only support installs for 9500 and above, i have ati mob radeon 9200, i just have to configure x or do i have to install something?
[04:19] <kenthomson> php-freak, sorry i don't have a link
[04:19] <nikolaos> Is there any way to get VPN working (easily?) with ndiswrapper?
[04:19] <fnf> kenthomson: checkinstall 1.6.0 should work fine, what's your Ubuntu version ?
[04:19] <EnsignRedshirt> firedog: If the wiki that you are using doesn't explain it, then it may be a bad wiki (at least for someone with your experience).
[04:19] <kenthomson> php-freak, but you can go to gnu.org, and maybe they have a link like top-donators. And try bigwig OS-apps like GIMP, Amarok, GNOME, etc
[04:20] <Vilhelms> I'm having problems with alsa. Like, half the time I boot it won't work, and whenever I try to play anything I get 'device is busy' so I have to restart. Does anyone know why or how I could fix it? I'm getting really tired of this problem :(
[04:20] <kenthomson> fnf, 6.10
[04:20] <kenthomson> fnf, do you think my sources.list is causing all this problems?
[04:20] <wtigerguy> it is not working
[04:20] <firedog> ensignredshirt, i clearly am not that experienced, im just trying to get the 3D effect provided by Beryl to work, and at the same time learn new thing
[04:20] <|NewUser|> billy: can i use USB to boot sUper GRUB?
[04:20] <fnf> kenthomson: by installing with 'make install', you risked having a broken system anyway. the install script can do whatever it pleases, and it's not surprising that it may touch one of the files apt is controlling.
[04:21] <wtigerguy> that is werd
[04:21] <bullgard4> !mc | bullgard4
[04:21] <fnf> kenthomson: I'll have a look.
[04:21] <billy> |NewUser|:  never tried it.  seems feasible though.
[04:21] <kenthomson> fnf, what about me telling aptitude to "yes" and work its magic, if you are fairly experienced than from the output of aptitude -f install you could spot the possible hazards if i told it yes
[04:21] <kenthomson> fnf, but if i did checkinstall package, it complained like HELL. i wanted to get the package(s) installed, so there was no other but to use 'make'. WHat do you say i do in such a scenario than?
[04:22] <fnf> kenthomson: I have limited experience with aptitude misbehaving, since I usually take it very carefully upon installing new software.
[04:22] <|NewUser|> billy: there is a Problem. that.. i m using another PC.. this one d0nt have writer :< how can i burn super grub with writer.. damn my laptop have writer but .. the laptop not going start coz 0f grub.
[04:22] <EnsignRedshirt> firedog: Cool, just be careful--you can really muck up your system.  I haven't tried beryl, so I can't help you with that.
[04:22] <pipe> mmmm
[04:22] <fnf> kenthomson: what are those that weren't working with checkinstall ?
[04:22] <kenthomson> fnf, don't remember now., but pretty much 99/100 packages don't work with checkinstall
[04:23] <Andy___> I am going to reboot into ubuntu, BRB
[04:23] <kenthomson> fnf, personal experience
[04:23] <firedog> ensignredshirt, ya, ive heard that if this goes wrong, bad thigns happen, but im ok with that, im still on a fresh install
[04:23] <billy> wtigerguy: sudo apt-get install libdvdnav4 libdvdplay0 libdvdread3
[04:23] <khally> my cpu is at 3% but my box is going really slow and my load average is huge!!   how do i find out what's going on???
[04:23] <kenthomson> fnf,  what about me telling aptitude to "yes" and work its magic, if you are fairly experienced than from the output of aptitude -f install you could spot the possible hazards if i told it yes
[04:23] <pipe> hem... i'm just a newbie :P and i don't know what mean that number i have to insert in patch -p N ...
[04:23] <jrib> pipe: what are you trying to do?
[04:24] <wtigerguy> that worked
[04:24] <fnf> kenthomson: the sources.lst looks normal, can you comment the custom repos to see if it works ?
[04:24] <billy> wtigerguy:  sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
[04:24] <kenthomson> billy, could you please look at my problem?
[04:24] <omeil> Can someone here test something for me?
[04:24] <Vilhelms> I'm having problems with alsa. Like, half the time I boot it won't work, and whenever I try to play anything I get 'device is busy' so I have to restart. Does anyone know why or how I could fix it? I'm getting really tired of this problem :(
[04:24] <kenthomson> fnf, let me do that
[04:25] <kenthomson> fnf, you should understand that there are no-signs of a broken system except the command aptitude -f install complaining
[04:25] <jrib> !someone | omeil
[04:25] <ubotu> omeil: 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?
[04:25] <pipe> sry, its for compiz (in that channel don't answer me, so i ask to you)... is a patch for compiz, there was a crash in compiz.real at first boot... i found this patch  but ... XD
[04:25] <billy> wtigerguy: if that one comes back error, do this one > sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh
[04:25] <fnf> kenthomson: I see, did it happen just recently ?
[04:25] <wtigerguy> it says command not found
[04:25] <jrib> pipe: are you supposed to patch source code?
[04:25] <billy> kenthomson:  sorry.  what were you trying to do again?
[04:25] <pipe> i think yes
[04:25] <grantgm> Vilhelms: what soundcard do you have?
[04:25] <jrib> pipe: have you built compiz from source before?
[04:25] <fnf> kenthomson: after commenting them, apt-get update once more.
[04:25] <billy> wtigerguy:  the second one came back error?
[04:26] <pipe> no, just installed
[04:26] <Vilhelms> grantgm, IXP SB400 AC'97 Audio Controller
[04:26] <jrib> pipe: have you ever built anything from source?
[04:26] <kenthomson> billy, HELP; Here is the output of "sudo aptitude -f install" http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10483/, my sources.list is here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10486/. Aptitude wants to remove seemingly working packages ( i use them everyday) like abiword, gfxboot, audacious, beryl, amarok. Other than the output i get my system is perfectly stable i can install all packages using apt-get and aptitude perfectly fine moreover apt-get -f install to gives a clean ou
[04:26] <kenthomson> tput. please help
[04:26] <pipe> yes
[04:26] <wtigerguy> the second one worked
[04:26] <kenthomson> fnf, ok let's see
[04:27] <fnf> kenthomson: the package DB may also be messed up if there're different versions of the same package lie in multiple repos.
[04:27] <billy> wtigerguy:  yeah, there's a difference in the directories.  do this now > sudo apt-get install totem-xine
[04:27] <fnf> kenthomson: in which case, you may try moving /var/lib/apt/* (not all of them, keep the keys).
[04:27] <mozul> I tried to install 6.10 last night on a new system with one HD on IDE and another pair of HD's set up on a hardware raid card as a mirror.  The BIOS sees the raid array as a disk.  however on my alternate install cd I only got the opportunity to format/partition the IDE-HD.  Wasn't I supposed to be able to format/partition the raid mirror as well?
[04:27] <firedog> how do i get the correct permissions to modify sources.list
[04:28] <billy> kenthomson:  I don't know about that my friend.  limited experience there.
[04:28] <Seveas> !sudo | firedog
[04:28] <ubotu> firedog: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:28] <fnf> firedog: chown to your user, not recommened though
[04:28] <jrib> pipe: if it only patches a single file you can just go to the difrectory that contains the file and do 'patch < file.patch'.  Otherwise you need to specify -p N  where N is the number of '/' to strip from the beginning of the paths in the patch.  For example -p1 will change /foo/bar to foo/bar.  'man patch' explains this in detail
[04:28] <billy> firedog:  in terminal > sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[04:28] <Seveas> fnf, that's a very stupid idea
[04:28] <firedog> billy, thanks
[04:28] <kenthomson> fnf, I am sure i have multiple versions of same packages in all those repos
[04:28] <wtigerguy> ok that worked
[04:28] <billy> firedog: no problem.
[04:28] <Seveas> firedog, don't do what fnf sayd...
[04:29] <billy> wtigerguy:  you should be able to watch DVD's now.
[04:29] <fnf> Seveas: yeah, and I said /not/ recommended, or you're saying about my previous line ?
[04:29] <pipe> ok man thnx ;)... lets try
[04:29] <kenthomson> fnf, uncommented sources.list, apt-get update and than aptitude -f install is giving the same output as before, it didn't help
[04:29] <jrib> kenthomson: there is nothing wrong with your system..  aptitude is just being stupid.  You are wasting your time
[04:29] <eshaase> i'm using firefox <IP_ADDRESS> and I've noticed that firefox uses *alot* of CPU and lags alot for lots of sites (javascript?), any suggestions?
[04:29] <firedog> seveas, i dont even know what he said
[04:29] <fnf> kenthomson: let me check the /var/lib/apt again for files that are safe to remove.
[04:29] <grantgm> Vilhelms: do you have flash installed?
[04:29] <kenthomson> jrib, i too would like to think that
[04:29] <firedog> billy, whats the default root pass?
[04:29] <Vilhelms> grantgm, Yes
[04:29] <Seveas> firedog, good :)
[04:29] <Seveas> firedog, sudo wants your own pass
[04:29] <wtigerguy> ok thanks is there a link that i can got and save all that
[04:30] <omha> firedog, you passwor
[04:30] <omha> d
[04:30] <billy> firedog:  you in a LiveCD?
[04:30] <Seveas> !sudo | firedog, see here for all info about sudo
[04:30] <ubotu> firedog, see here for all info about sudo: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:30] <grantgm> have you upgraded to flash 9?
[04:30] <kenthomson> fnf, lists(folder), periodic(folder), extended_states(file), these three are there in /var/lib/apt
[04:30] <kenthomson> Seveas, may i ask you a question?
[04:30] <Seveas> kenthomson, you are already doing so :)
[04:31] <grantgm> i found that helped (although didn't totally solve) my sound problems
[04:31] <kenthomson> Seveas, but the following one is bigger so i asked, anyways...
[04:31] <kenthomson> Seveas, Seveas, HELP; Here is the output of "sudo aptitude -f install" http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10483/, my sources.list is here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10486/. Aptitude wants to remove seemingly working packages ( i use them everyday) like abiword, gfxboot, audacious, beryl, amarok. Other than the output i get my system is perfectly stable i can install all packages using apt-get and aptitude perfectly fine moreover apt-get -f install to gives a
[04:31] <kenthomson>  clean output. please help
[04:31] <hang3r> "sudo apt-get --reinstall --purge install update-manager update-notifier" will reinstall all traces of update-manager and update-notifier including configuration correct?
[04:31] <Seveas> kenthomson, try apt-get instad of aptitude
[04:31] <jolger> hey... just a quick question: is there any way i can enable timestamps in xchat? x_x (totally new to xchat :P)
[04:32] <fnf> kenthomson: I lack the time to actually try it in a VM, but you may move the *Packages and *Sources in /var/lib/apt/lists away
[04:32] <kenthomson> jolger, Settings>preferences, select text-box and than, enable time-stamps
[04:32] <Seveas> kenthomson, this looks like you mixed dapper and edgy packages, or edgy and feisty ones
[04:32] <billy> eshaase:  lots of folks are having that problem.  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=16283233  I don't know what the solution is though.
[04:32] <fnf> kenthomson: and update the system.
[04:33] <kenthomson> Seveas, apt-get -f install works perfeclty fine. there are no signs of broken system anywhere, but just this stubborn aptitude -f install complaining. apt-get -f install is clean too
[04:33] <AJIEX1> hi all
[04:33] <billy> !hi | AJIEX1
[04:33] <ubotu> AJIEX1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:33] <kenthomson> Seveas, no i ain't mixed the packages for any distro except edgy
[04:33] <Seveas> kenthomson, then don't use aptitude. It's pretty anal sometimes about wanting to remove things
[04:33] <jolger> ah... DOH... could have found out myself -_- just me not reading through the text again XD
[04:33] <AJIEX1> sombody use Berly ?
[04:33] <jolger> well thanks anyways...
[04:33] <billy> I do AJIEX1.
[04:33] <jolger> i had beryl...
[04:34] <jolger> but it slowed my system too much...
[04:34] <kenthomson> Seveas, you should however note that sudo aptitude install or remove package works perfectly fine
[04:34] <kenthomson> Seveas, i wanted to have a clean sudo aptitude 0f install so i asked
[04:34] <billy> AJIEX1:  Beryl gets upset when you call it berly though.  :(
[04:34] <kenthomson> fnf, you recommend me actually doing it?
[04:34] <AJIEX1> have you 1 second pause when you change tabs in firefox or gaim ?
[04:34] <grantgm> Vilhelms: try getting flash 9 from http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
[04:34] <grantgm> download the tar.gz
[04:34] <Seveas> kenthomson, try aptitude install --reinstall [all the packages it wants to remove]
[04:34] <Vilhelms> grantgm, okay
[04:34] <billy> AJIEX1:  no.  sometimes my firefox window spills over the screen a touch.  not always, but sometimes.
[04:35] <fnf> kenthomson: yup.
[04:35] <grantgm> give it a go and see how it works...its just that flash 7 was notoriously bad for screwing up the whole sound system
[04:35] <fnf> kenthomson: if it doesn't work, just move it back and things will get back to normal.
[04:35] <Vilhelms> grantgm, Do I need to restart after I do that?
[04:36] <AJIEX1> billy: hmm i use it and everething is good, but I have 1 second pause(may be 0,5 second) when a change tabs (firefox, gaim, opera ... )
[04:36] <fnf> kenthomson: it looks like aptitude DB is in a inconsistent state, so we try to update the whole DB again, without additional repositories.
[04:36] <grantgm> Vilhelms: you should just need to restart firefox...but if your sound isn't working at all right now, then you're best off just restarting the whole system
[04:37] <billy> AJIEX1:  remember that Beryl is still beta software.  I get little bugs like that sometimes.  With time, Beryl will fix it all.
[04:37] <grantgm> does anyone know how to restart sound without rebooting?
[04:37] <Administrador_> Hello all.....
[04:37] <billy> grantgm:  sudo /etc/init.d/alsa restart
[04:37] <AJIEX1> billy: what's your videocard ?
[04:37] <kenthomson> fnf, and how do i move all the *sources *packages away? is it "sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists*sources* /home/ken/backup && sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists*packages* /home/ken/backup
[04:37] <billy> AJIEX1:  Intel ICH7 family
[04:38] <AJIEX1> billy: I have Geforce 7600 gs
[04:38] <grantgm> billy: /etc/init.d/alsa: No such file or directory
[04:38] <cezeta> I need some help, Im installing ubuntu desktop 6.10 on a pavilion, and I get and error WHEN cd boot. The problematic mod its wlan...  hiy can I deactivate that to use the boot cd and install ubuntu?
[04:38] <kenthomson> fnf, and if i update aptitude again by commeting-out the additional repos, ain't we doing the same thing but in a more civilized manner? ;-)
[04:38] <AJIEX1> billy: you run on a notebook ?
[04:38] <kenthomson> cezeta, go to the BIOS and select boot-from-cd and first priority
[04:38] <fnf> kenthomson: "sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists/*Sources /home/ken/backup" and "sudo mv /var/lib/apt/lists/*Packages /home/ken/backup"
[04:39] <ph8> eep - i've just installed apache2-mpm-event and i don't have apachectl! can anyone tell me which package contains it?
[04:39] <grantgm> billy: the only thing in there is alsa-utils, which doesn't seem to affect anything
[04:39] <billy> grantgm:  sorry.  sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
[04:39] <kenthomson> fnf, what about this;  if i update aptitude again by commeting-out the additional repos, ain't we doing the same thing but in a more civilized manner?
[04:39] <fnf> kenthomson: just a check, as I'd prefer a reinstall. I cannot afford a broken system
[04:39] <billy> grantgm:  you tried that and it didn't work?
[04:39] <cezeta> kenthomson: my problem is not that...  i know how to boot, but when ubuntu start booting from cd, try to setup the WLAN and CRASH . :(
[04:39] <fnf> kenthomson: not quite the same.
[04:40] <kenthomson> cezeta, you may need some additional parameters while booting ubuntu and not just start-liv-cd option or maybe the alternate install cd, sorry i can't help more
[04:40] <Smoke2k> any suggestions on garage band substitute for ubuntu?
[04:40] <kenthomson> fnf, alright let me do it than
[04:40] <Smoke2k> my brother is going to be disappointed i took garage band off computer
[04:40] <hang3r> The following apt-get "apt-get --reinstall --purge install update-manager update-notifier" will remove all configuration of update-manager and update-notifier and reinstall them both, is that correct? Someone answer ffs...
[04:40] <billy> Smoke2K : something like Jokosher?
[04:40] <grantgm> billy: i just did "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils stop", which succeeded, but i'm still playing a video with sound
[04:41] <billy> grantgm:  I keep forgetting that most Ubuntu'ers don't use alsa anymore.  Not sure what's used instead of alsa now.
[04:41] <kenthomson> grantgm, you may need to load-unload a certain module through modprobe or something, i don't know much
[04:41] <JohnPhys> billy:  why would they not use alsa?
[04:42] <cezeta> kenthomson: I know :(  pherhaps you can help me howto ask that
[04:42] <kenthomson> billy, first we had the OSS mixer and as of now all modern distros use Alsa instead
[04:42] <cezeta> becouse my englush sux ;(
[04:42] <kenthomson> cezeta, alright i will do it
[04:42] <cezeta> ;)
[04:42] <billy> JohnPhys:  that's what I was told.  I know that I have alsa.  kenthomson:  Oh.  Maybe one of you two could help grantgm then.  :)
[04:42] <hang3r> cezeta, "Sucks"
[04:43] <billy> grantgm:  is your mixer set to use alsa?
[04:43] <kenthomson> cezeta, you are booting a u.6.10, right? And what machine are you on?
[04:43] <cezeta> jejejej hang3r sorry, I not english speaker
[04:43] <cezeta> Yes, 6.10 destop
[04:43] <cezeta> desktop, sorry
[04:43] <kenthomson> cezeta, and what machine 32-bit processor?
[04:43] <kenthomson> cezeta, why is the w-lan automatically automatically switched on, can you manually disconnect it before booting?
[04:43] <cezeta> well, its a 64 bit, but I dont wankt 64, I using 32 bits only
[04:44] <grantgm> yea, i'm pretty sure that i am using alsa rather than oss
[04:44] <kenthomson> cezeta, ok what about the second question
[04:44] <Smoke2k> billy could you please help me here?
[04:44] <kenthomson> grantgm, all of us are
[04:44] <cezeta> I think, 6.10 see my WLAN and try to load the module but CRASH :(
[04:44] <billy> grantgm:  strange that sound would still be playing then.  I don't know man.
[04:44] <grantgm> np. thanks anyways
[04:44] <kenthomson> grantgm, you can check by selecting it in volume icon in the gnome-panel and than file>device>select it here
[04:45] <cezeta> No, its no switched on, its OFF, but ubuntu 6.10 detect and try to load module (w-lan is OFF)
[04:45] <billy> Smoke2k:  I'm not really familiar with Garage Band.  I just know that Jokosher is a multi-tracker.
[04:45] <grantgm> kenthomson: yea, that's what led me to believe that i'm using alsa...although changing that doesn't seem to have any effect
[04:45] <cezeta> how can I say the install program "not load wlan" :P

[04:50] <kenthomson> HELP; I am trying to boot a ubuntu 6.10 live cd-32bit, on my 64-bit computer. When i select boot-from-cd, it starts loading all the modules, but when it wants to load wlan (please note that i have manually switched wlan off), it tries it and than crashes. it tells me something like: "firmware not found in module bcmxxx". And than a blank screen-nothing. Please help me get past this annoying startuo-issue. PLease direct all your answers to "cezeta" as
[04:50] <kenthomson>  it is his problem and i just helped him frame it better
[04:51] <cezeta> Ufff, thanks dude, really thanks :P
[04:51] <kenthomson> cezeta, i really think you are better off searching at ubuntuforums.org, about keywords like "wlan crashes cd" and "module bcm"
[04:51] <cezeta> yes, i will copy you question and will post there...  THANKS YOU A LOT :)
[04:52] <I3ooI3oo> kenthomson is there a reason you aren't using the 64bit version ?
[04:52] <matthew_> when feisty comes out, what is the best way to upgrade from 6.10 to feisty?
[04:52] <kenthomson> I3ooI3oo, this question is of "cezeta" please direct your questions to him, i just framed the question
[04:52] <kenthomson> cezeta, I3ooI3oo says "Why don't you use 64-bit ubuntu"?
[04:53] <VXWorks> hi all... I'm trying to install kismet, but when I run ./configure it says there is no libncurses! but libncurses5 is installed! Please anyone help me
[04:53] <billy> matthew_, replace "edgy" with "feisty" in your sources.list, `sudo apt-get dis-upgrade` and HOPE FOR THE BEST!!
[04:53] <cezeta> I3ooI3oo: just becouse some peole say that thers not enougth software for 64 (and its a laptop)
[04:53] <kenthomson> cezeta, a probably answer would be, most of the apps are not 64-bit and it is a lot harder to setup java, shockwave and flash on a 64-bit.
[04:53] <billy> *dist-upgrade, that is.
[04:53] <VXWorks> hi all... I'm trying to install kismet, but when I run ./configure it says there is no libncurses! but libncurses5 is installed! Please anyone help me
[04:53] <cezeta> so, i dont care about 64 bits.
[04:54] <kenthomson> cezeta, have you tried about switching wlan-ON and than booting it up?
[04:54] <matthew_> billy: what about using the GUI upgrade tool that ubuntu has? Or is apt-get still the best way?
[04:54] <kenthomson> cezeta, what make is your wlan-card? Company-model-name?
[04:54] <I3ooI3oo> while i can see your point about the software i would pose the question what do you plan on doing ? not what did everyone else say
[04:54] <cezeta> Its a broadcom
[04:55] <billy> matthew_ : hmm... I've heard good things about the GUI.  Myself, I'm going to wait to make sure there aren't horror stories before attempting it.
[04:55] <cezeta> came with a pavilion dv6000 series
[04:55] <cezeta> i dont know the exacly model....   (i cant even boot linux)
[04:56] <cezeta> i just whant to startup without the bcmxxx  module
[04:56] <matthew_> billy: thats what I thought, I might even run feisty in vmware for a while just to let them get the major bugs out
[04:56] <cezeta> how can I do that on "other boot options"=
[04:56] <cezeta> =
[04:56] <financier> can i get any help here
[04:56] <CharlieChester> anyone know anything about streaming video from a webcam to the net?
[04:56] <billy> financier:  sure we can help.  what's up?
[04:57] <Crazytom> how do I edit grub to stop showing the splash screen permanently
[04:57] <ikonia_> Crazytom nosplash
[04:57] <billy> matthew_ : well, they've been working on it a while.  I had Feisty on my laptop, Sony Vaio, and it worked fine.  When they release it, it should be fairly stable.  Expect frequent updates though.
[04:57] <cezeta> kenthomson: what do you think about the diferences installing 6.06 a. 6.10 on my laptop?
[04:57] <Crazytom> ikonia, what?
[04:58] <LightCatcher> Does it normally take forever to add a GPG key?
[04:58] <VXWorks> hi all... I'm trying to install kismet, but when I run ./configure it says there is no libncurses! but libncurses5 is installed! Please anyone help me
[04:58] <ikonia_> billy / matthew_ fesity support is in #ubuntu+1 and #ubuntu-offtopic maybe a better place for discussion
[04:58] <cezeta> becouse, the 6.06 i can install it whithout prpblems
[04:58] <billy> LightCatcher: sometimes it takes me a while.
[04:58] <matthew_> CharlieChester: do you listen to The Linux Link Tech Show?
[04:58] <ikonia_> Crazytom the boot option is "nosplash"
[04:58] <CharlieChester> matthew_: I have never heard of it.
[04:58] <Crazytom> ikonia, will that permanently disable it?
[04:58] <ikonia_> Crazytom yes
[04:58] <Crazytom> thanks
[04:58] <billy> Crazytom:  edit /boot/grub/menu.lst.  put nosplash on the end of the kernel line that you don't want the splash for.
[04:59] <matthew_> CharlieChester: go to tllts.org and download the latest show (lastnight) they talked about a project for webcams
[04:59] <pc25b_> fr
[04:59] <financier> my x-window cannot start. error is No devices detected. here is the story. i install ubuntu with my old agp videocard. i upgrade my system to pci-e video. when i view the detail error log,it seems x-window is still using the agp video card.
[04:59] <billy> Crazytom:  oh sorry;  ikonia_ already helped you.  ikonia_ knows better than I.
[04:59] <ardchoille> billy: You can just remove the word "splash" for the same effect
[04:59] <ikonia_> financier if you have changed the motherboard/video card you'd be better doing a fresh install
[04:59] <matthew_> CharlieChester: I can't remember the project name
[04:59] <omeil> X Error: BadDevice, invalid or uninitialized input device 169

[05:00] <omeil> err soz thought it was just 2 lines :)
[05:00] <billy> OK.  We've got real help in the room now.  I"m OUT>
[05:00] <ikonia_> omeil that means the device with a major number 147 and a minior of 3 could not be opened
[05:00] <billy> Bye y'all.  Have a good day.  I'm off to help a friend put Dapper on her Pentium 3 system.
[05:00] <financier> yes i also upgraded my motherboard and cpu(amd64). is there a way not to do a fresh install just fix the problem
[05:01] <ikonia_> financier you could fix it - but it would be a better idea to do a clean install
[05:02] <|NewUser|> ikonia: having problem with GRUB " GRUB loading stage1.5.,  GRUB loading. Please wait... "Error 17" after that just blank black screen. how can i fix my GRUB?
[05:02] <majimu> jimenez
[05:03] <ikonia_> |NewUser| let me check on error 17
[05:03] <financier> i rather fix it than to do clean install again. i hope you can guide on how to do fix
[05:03] <|NewUser|> ikonia sure. i have 3 OS installed
[05:03] <cezeta> anyone can help me booting ubuntu 6.10 whitout BCMXXX module (the wlan module) <---   boot-cd detect the wlan, try to load the module and CRASH, so I whant to start with an option that not load that module
[05:03] <kenthomson> cezeta, i tried searching the ubuntuforums.org for wlan, and i don't think out of the 249 posts that showed up in the search list any post had a title which meant that ubuntu-live-cd won't boot because of wlan-module-fail. Sorry can't help you more
[05:03] <kenthomson> cezeta, you may try getting a 6.06 boot-cd and boot-it-up.
[05:04] <nugenoa> In 6.06, why can I choose where grub will be installed?
[05:04] <kenthomson> cezeta, thats all i know about it
[05:04] <ikonia_> |NewUser| error 17 is cannot mount selected partition which suggests that either the partition that contains your menu.lst is unmountable (wrong) or your root file system partition is setup wrong (probably the first)
[05:04] <Smoke2k> does anyone have adobe creative suite premium 2.3
[05:04] <cezeta> kenthomson: with 6.06 i can install withoun problems linux. what do you think about diferences beetwin 6.10 and 6.06 ?
[05:05] <|NewUser|> ikonia: then how i set it again? i just put Ubuntu-Desktop Disk in Rom and boot from that. i have just 5 options there..
[05:05] <ardchoille> cezeta: 6.06.1 is much more stable and problem-free.. and it has longer support.
[05:05] <ikonia_> cezeta updated kernel, different init system, etc etc
[05:05] <nugenoa> How do I change where to install grub in 6.06??
[05:05] <cezeta> if you think its same, i install 6.06 and will be happy idem :P
[05:05] <kenthomson> cezeta, than go for-it!, if any there would be only subtle differences which you shouldn't worry about
[05:05] <LightCatcher> What does bash do with the pipe character?
[05:05] <cezeta> pUFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFfffffffff    so, dont tell me more..    :P
[05:06] <ikonia_> !grub >|NewUser|
[05:06] <ardchoille> LightCatcher: the pipe takes the output of one command and sends it to the input of another command.
[05:06] <financier> i rather fix it than to do clean install again. i hope you can guide on how to do fix
[05:06] <kenthomson> cezeta, or you may try this, install a clean ubuntu 6.06 and than IMMEDIATELY upgrade to edgy ubuntu 6.10, through the u.6.06 system. This may work and may fail. But its worth trying. See below for more details
[05:06] <kenthomson> !upgrade | cezeta
[05:06] <ubotu> cezeta: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:06] <LightCatcher> ardchoille: Thank you
[05:06] <nugenoa> kenthomson, In 6.06, how do I choose where to install grub, since I don't want to replace my windows boot loader?
[05:06] <pedro15> hi!
[05:06] <|NewUser|> ikonia: i dont find ther terminal where it is.. i just boot from Ubuntu-Desktop disk
[05:07] <ardchoille> LightCatcher: You're welcome :)
[05:07] <kenthomson> cezeta, ubuntu 6.06 is a great distro with long term support, more software exist for it and is more stabel you will not loose anything by using it.
[05:07] <kenthomson> nugenoa, if you have two physical HDDs than that can happen otherwise not
[05:07] <omeil> can someone test if this works only 5 kb http://files-upload.com/131473/UnixScape.tar.bz2.html i think u need konqueror
[05:07] <cezeta> I undestand, nothing to loose, brand new system, so I will try tu upgrade, if not, Im sure be happy whith my 6.06 :P
[05:07] <ikonia_> |NewUser| you don't find the terminal ???
[05:07] <ardchoille> |NewUser|: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal. Or you can CTRL+ALT+F2 and type in gnome-terminal
[05:07] <cezeta> ubotu: thanks, Im reading that now .P
[05:08] <ikonia_> cezeta why do you want to upgrade ?
[05:08] <ardchoille> |NewUser|: Sorry, that's ALT+F2 , no CTRL
[05:08] <cezeta> jejeje, its a bot :P    (im new here) :D (talking with bots) :p
[05:08] <kenthomson> nugenoa, if you have two HDDS, than the one with the windows installation is having the ms-boot-loader, when ubuntu 6.10 installation asks whether it should install grub on a certain hdd, THAN choose something OTHER than the one with the windows hdd, and you should be safe. Than you can set the ubuntu hdd as master and everything will work, if in the future u wish to unplug the ubuntu HDD, than windows shall boot normally
[05:09] <kenthomson> ikonia, He's got a problem here it is: HELP; I am trying to boot a ubuntu 6.10 live cd-32bit, on my 64-bit computer. When i select boot-from-cd, it starts loading all the modules, but when it wants to load wlan (please note that i have manually switched wlan off), it tries it and than crashes. it tells me something like: "firmware not found in module bcmxxx". And than a blank screen-nothing. Please help me get past this annoying startuo-issue.
[05:09] <|NewUser|> ikonia: but without GRUB how can i select which version of linux i want to run ?
[05:09] <mehmetfy> slm
[05:09] <kenthomson> ikonia, i just framed the question for him, please help him if you can
[05:09] <kenthomson> everybody good-bye and good-night
[05:09] <ikonia_> |NewUser| you boot frmothe livecd
[05:09] <mehmetfy> hi
[05:09] <|NewUser|> kenthomson gn
[05:09] <metalhedd> hello, I have a program I wrote in C++ a while ago, all thats left is the cpp and .h files, no makefile or anything, but its only 2 files.. the thing is i'm not sure how to build this with out make... can someone run me through it really quick? I have to submit this assignment today and I refuse to make a visual studio project out of it. :(
[05:09] <kenthomson> fnf, and YEAH moving those file to another direcotry DIDN'T work, i will have to move them back
[05:10] <|NewUser|> ikonia ya i boot from the Ubuntu-Desktop CD
[05:10] <kenthomson> |NewUser|, HAPPY UBUNTU-ing to EVERYONE
[05:10] <mehmetfy> hello speak something
[05:10] <nugenoa> kenthomson, I am not using 6.10, I'm using 6.06 and I am on one hdd, And I want to install grub to the ext3 partition vice over riding my current windows bootloader.
[05:10] <Zaggynl> Who is running Feisty in here?
[05:10] <fnf> kenthomson: I'm out of idea then, sorry.
[05:10] <PriceChild> Zaggynl, > #ubuntu+1
[05:10] <ikonia_> kenthomson I see - I think he's missunderstanding the crash, the lack of firmware for card will just disable it not crash the boot, so I think he's missunderstanding the problem
[05:10] <Zaggynl> PriceChild, thanks
[05:10] <ikonia_> |NewUser| use grub off the live cd
[05:10] <fnf> kenthomson: perhaps I need to muck with aptitude really bad to see it. ;)
[05:10] <Smoke2k> does anyone have adobe creative suite premium 2.3
[05:10] <ikonia_> Smoke2k why ?
[05:11] <ikonia_> Smoke2k thats an windows based application
[05:11] <|NewUser|> ikonia there is no option like GRUB .. just 5 options there.
[05:11] <Smoke2k> yes it can be run on wine
[05:11] <|NewUser|> ikonia : ya i started my Ubuntu from live CD now
[05:12] <Smoke2k> thats reason i am installing ubuntu
[05:12] <Smoke2k> but i only have osx version
[05:12] <nugenoa> kenthomson, shit "installing GRUB to a location other than the Master Boot Record;"    I have to DL the Alternate install CD.
[05:12] <LightCatcher> Is there a place other than "http://ubuntu.beryl-project.org/quinn.key.asc" that I can get a gpg key for beryl (I'm getting a 404 error)
[05:12] <PriceChild> !ohmy | nugenoa
[05:12] <ubotu> nugenoa: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:12] <Smoke2k> i need xp version
[05:12] <ikonia_> |NewUser| I'll tell you one more time. Pay attention. 1.) boot from the ubuntu cd 2.) in a terminal type "sudo grub" you are now in a grub shell 3.) re-apply the grub settings with the commands "root (hdx,0x) and setup (hdx)" replacing X with the appropriate grub hard drive partitions, to learn more about how to work out those partition read the output of ubotu when you query it with !grub
[05:13] <ikonia_> Smoke2k this isn't a wares house - find the install media elsewhere
[05:13] <|NewUser|> ikonia : okie.
[05:14] <LightCatcher> nevermind guys, I found the gpg key for beryl
[05:15] <nugenoa> Well, so much for ubuntu, time for DSL.
[05:15] <czester> Anyone alive?
[05:15] <czester> I need ubuntu not to lock screen
[05:15] <PupUser-702a9d> 1059 peoiple :)
[05:15] <czester> when suspend
[05:15] <tier`> hrmm whenever i go under system->admin-> networking or time/date or a couple others they never load, they freeze up and i have to force quit them.. and it's unexplainable
[05:16] <ikonia_> czester this has just been discussed
[05:16] <czester> ikonia_: I can't find anything with google, just bugs.
[05:16] <czester> ikonia_: I want to turn off screen locking
[05:16] <freezey> i want to reinstall something and when i apt-get install it it wont replace the config files.... how do i get it to replace the config files as well?
[05:16] <ikonia_> czester I thought your issue was that you couldn't boot edgy
[05:17] <metalhedd> I need to compile a small C++ program I wrote, but I dont have amakefile or anything... i can't get it to build :( can someone help?
[05:17] <tecta> hmm in totem-xine i cant play xvid or dvds but i can play rm files
[05:17] <czester> ikonia_: Everything works fine. Just after resume I don't want to have screel locked with password
[05:17] <ikonia_> metalhedd you don't need a make file, but if you do, you have to make a makefile yourself
[05:17] <ikonia_> czester I thought you couldn't boot - thats what you said 2 minutes ago
[05:17] <ikonia_> czester something about a wirless card crashing the boot
[05:17] <xhost> hello all
[05:18] <czester> ikonia_: That wasn't me
[05:18] <metalhedd> ikonia_: I know that i dont need the makefile, but I dont know how to build it otherwise... I tried gcc -o myExec *.cpp and i got a million "undefined reference to std::cout" messages.
[05:18] <metalhedd> i have no idea how to make a makefile either
[05:18] <ikonia_> metalhedd then you need to debug your c code
[05:19] <metalhedd> ikonia_: its perfect. compiled and built 100% under gentoo... when I installed ubuntu on this machine instead, i lost the makefile, but i salvaged the cpp and h files.
[05:19] <metalhedd> ikonia_: It builds in visual studio too.
[05:19] <ikonia_> metalhedd well keep in mind different distros use different gcc's, headers, libs and locations
[05:19] <jcaceres> hello does any of you has used openmcu, and can tell me some about it's experience
[05:20] <jrib> ikonia_: use g++ for cpp code
[05:20] <jrib> erm, taht was emant for metalhedd
[05:20] <ikonia_> I know - its c++
[05:20] <ikonia_> its not me doing it
[05:20] <ikonia_> ahh
[05:20] <ikonia_> sorry
[05:21] <dellolinux1> * - Freenode is a service of Peer-Directed Projects Center, an
[05:21] <dellolinux1> * - IRS 501(c)(3)
[05:21] <metalhedd> ikonia_: i figured as much, the problem is I dont know where they are or how to reference them, I'm in a real pinch, I need to show my teacher my compiled program under linux, he allows me to use linux instead of Visual studio as long as I can demonstrate the working solution, but now I cant ;( i only have an hour to figure this out.
[05:21] <ikonia_> metalhedd use gentoo you said it worked
[05:21] <metalhedd> ikonia_: gentoo is gone.
[05:21] <ikonia_> metalhedd or join a c++ channel
[05:21] <ikonia_> and debug it
[05:21] <jrib> metalhedd: g++ -o hello hello.cpp   doesn't work?
[05:22] <ikonia_> jrib apparantly not
[05:22] <metalhedd> jrib: no, there are 3 cpp files 3 h files, and it requires ncurses. so I tried G++ -o hello *.cpp -lncurses  no luck, still complains about std::everything.
[05:23] <metalhedd> ikonia_: as I said before, there is nothing wrong with the C++ code, im 100% sure of that, it builds on my teachers machine under visual studio, and it build fine under gentoo.
[05:23] <Seveas> metalhedd, install libstdc++-dev
[05:23] <ikonia_> metalhedd and as I said different distros use different locations and versions, so debug the code to find out what its missind/referencing
[05:24] <cezeta> well, 6.06 its BOOTED :P
[05:24] <metalhedd> Seveas: That is the answer i was looking for.
[05:24] <metalhedd> Seveas: thank you!
[05:24] <Seveas> yw
[05:24] <ikonia_> stdio.h
[05:24] <metalhedd> dunno if it works yet, but i'm assuming it will
[05:24] <UAnon> I hope Feisty is stable when its "officially" released
[05:24] <Seveas> metalhedd, you probably also need libncurses5-dev oslt
[05:25] <metalhedd> Seveas: i think i got it already
[05:25] <Seveas> ok
[05:25] <ikonia_> UAnon thanks for the pointless comment. I hope world peiece will be peaceful when it happens
[05:25] <metalhedd> Seveas: should i use libstdc++5 or 6?
[05:25] <ikonia_> 6 gof gcc 4
[05:25] <ikonia_> typo
[05:25] <UAnon> ikonia, No problem enjoy
[05:25] <tecta> is there a way to downgrade back to edgy from feisty?
[05:25] <ikonia_> 6 for gcc 4
[05:25] <UAnon> Just today I moved a "Documents" folder into one of the hidden folders within my ~/ directory by mistake, and I couldn't use the "Find Files" tool to find the folder, so I had to look by hand
[05:25] <Seveas> metalhedd, 6
[05:26] <drewzf> I modified my sources.list and replaced dapper with edgy and upgraded and it didn't install networking
[05:26] <tier`> ok, so every time i reboot or just restart x for that matter, i get an error about the gnome settings daemon not starting and i can't seem to find any resolution to it
[05:26] <drewzf> Now I have a remote server sitting without any ability of getting online
[05:26] <drewzf> And it's 1800 miles away
[05:26] <UAnon> drewzf, That sure does suck, a little bit
[05:26] <drewzf> Is there any way to fix this remotely?
[05:26] <tier`> there's some claim on the forums that gstreamer will fix it but i installed that and no go
[05:26] <ikonia_> not if its not on the network
[05:26] <drewzf> wow
[05:26] <UAnon> drewzf, well if you can't connect to it, then no
[05:26] <drewzf> that's awesome.
[05:26] <Crazytom> [17179580.212000]  ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT]
[05:26] <Crazytom> [17179712.648000]  ACPI: PCI Interrupt Link [LNKA]  (IRQs 4 7 10 *11)
[05:26] <Crazytom>  I think this is where my computer hangs during boot. Can someone tell me what to do about this?
[05:27] <mbac> crazytom, try booting with noacpi option
[05:27] <drewzf> bleh.
[05:27] <drewzf> I'm never touching apt-get again
[05:27] <Crazytom> how exactly do i use a boot option?
[05:27] <predaeus> drewzf: so you rebooted it and it did not come back online or what?
[05:28] <mbac> crazytom, when you're presented with the boot menu, hit edit, find the kernel options line
[05:28] <drewzf> predaeus: Exactly.
[05:28] <mbac> add that option
[05:28] <UAnon> drewzf, what sort of suggestion did you expect about fixing a remote server if its networking is not enabled?
[05:28] <Crazytom> thanks
[05:28] <UAnon> drewzf, is that server connected wirelessly?
[05:28] <edan> can anyone help me edit the grub file?
[05:28] <drewzf> UAnon: I was hoping that I could revert to my old dapper install
[05:28] <ikonia_> how ?
[05:28] <ikonia_> you've just upgraded over it
[05:28] <ikonia_> and its not on the network
[05:28] <UAnon> drewzf, lets assume that you can, how can you revert if you are not able to reconnect?
[05:28] <Pollywog> how do I boot with the acpi option if I can't get to GRUB?
[05:29] <drewzf> I know, a bit retarded of me right?
[05:29] <ikonia_> Pollywog boot from the ubuntu cd
[05:29] <ikonia_> drewzf very
[05:29] <Pollywog> no, it is a logical question
[05:29] <drewzf> I was hoping that it would have saved the old kernel and magically fixed itself, Ubuntu has always been very good to me.
[05:29] <ikonia_> Pollywog I know - and I've just told you the answer
[05:29] <ikonia_> drewzf it updates more than the kernel
[05:29] <drewzf> And I've always been able to revert using a recovery kernel.
[05:29] <metalhedd> Seveas: one step closer, but I could really use a little more guidance... i ran g++ -o Maze *.cpp -lncurses   got NO errors. but ./Maze won't execute. permission denied, even when I chmod it.
[05:29] <BruceLeeds> hello guys
[05:29] <mbac> pollywog, you've got bigger problems than ACPI if you can't get to grub
[05:29] <Pollywog> ikonia: ty I thought maybe there was another option
[05:29] <LOLZebra> hey
[05:29] <UAnon> drewzf, is it networked wirelessly?
[05:29] <ikonia_> Pollywog no
[05:29] <DrthHmstr> hi
[05:30] <drewzf> I see that now, and have since learned the proper way to upgrade, and to install a network boot on my bios.
[05:30] <Seveas> metalhedd, do you have an int main() somewhere in there?
[05:30] <drewzf> UAnon: No, it's an ethernet connection
[05:30] <ikonia_> Pollywog unless you edit it on the fly at boot time
[05:30] <UAnon> Pollywog, I dont know why you are asking about acpi problems when you are unable to get into Grub :)
[05:30] <metalhedd> Seveas: Nevermind actually. couldn't execute it on a fat partition.
[05:30] <drewzf> And I have someone sitting at the server
[05:30] <drewzf> Right now
[05:30] <metalhedd> Seveas: works fine when I copy to ~
[05:30] <ikonia_> drewzf you're screwed
[05:30] <UAnon> drewzf, it wasn't very smart to do a system-wide update without having direct access to the system
[05:30] <metalhedd> Seveas: Thanks a TON
[05:30] <UAnon> drewzf, thats like attempting to "reinstall" Windows 1500 miles away
[05:31] <Pollywog> UAnon: you need a monkey for that, one cabable of initiating reboots
[05:31] <UAnon> drewzf, have that person manually go into Ubuntu and enable the network
[05:31] <LightCatcher> Yes, saveas, I would also like to thank you on behalf of metalhedd :)
[05:31] <elfosardo> 0.5.81
[05:32] <Pollywog> a monkey should be included in the XP box
[05:32] <Tigerman> this might be a silly question, but here goes.. I have been running RedHat with Kerio Mailserver.. Is there anything similar to kerio that run on ubuntu? (Preferrably free, of course)
[05:32] <UAnon> correction, an OS should be included with the XP monkey
[05:32] <predaeus> drewzf: can you ping the server? maybe just the sshd is not running or something similar.
[05:32] <BruceLeeds> i have this on my screen:
[05:32] <BruceLeeds> "Buffer I/0 error on device hdb6, logical block 64
[05:32] <BruceLeeds> Error reading block 8 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read). Ignore error (y)?
[05:32] <BruceLeeds> yes
[05:32] <BruceLeeds> Force rewrity (y)?"
[05:32] <BruceLeeds> I did fsck - but it says that I may loose data... What shall I do?
[05:33] <Seveas> BruceLeeds, buy a new disk and hope to be able to recover your data
[05:33] <Navid> Hey
[05:33] <BruceLeeds> Seveas: that's what I tried
[05:33] <edan> can anyone help me edit the grub file?
[05:33] <ikonia_> edan to do what
[05:33] <Navid> How do I enable tabs in the terminal?
[05:33] <BruceLeeds> Seveas: so you wouldn't do fsck?
[05:33] <DrthHmstr> ?
[05:34] <drewzf> UAnon: The package networking isn't installed.
[05:34] <edan> ikonia_, to change the backround to an image
[05:34] <drewzf> And it's saying eth0 is non existant
[05:34] <Pollywog> edan just reminded me I need to find the URL where it says how to password protect GRUB
[05:34] <ikonia_> edan there is instructions on doing that all over the web
[05:34] <drewzf> I'm having him download the 6.06 server images
[05:34] <UAnon> drewzf, Do you have anyone around the server? Have them install the package manually
[05:34] <drewzf> UAnon: How? Without networking and a CD?
[05:34] <drewzf> Someone is at the server right now.
[05:34] <BruceLeeds> Seveas: I didn't mangage to mount the partition with knoppix
[05:34] <fruitbag> So, any thoughts here/
[05:34] <drewzf> I've tried everything I can think.
[05:34] <UAnon> drewzf, manually, using a USB drive / floppy / whatever
[05:35] <ikonia_> fruitbag ib what ?
[05:35] <drewzf> ooh
[05:35] <drewzf> hmm
[05:35] <ikonia_> on what
[05:35] <edan> ikonia_, im sorry i looked 40 min for it and i didnt find it
[05:35] <fruitbag> ikonia, I wanted to enable tabs in the terminal.
[05:35] <ikonia_> edan poor
[05:35] <edan> ikonia_, every ting is just on colors
[05:35] <clusty> hey
[05:35] <ikonia_> edan http://ruslug.rutgers.edu/~mcgrof/grub-images/ first page on google
[05:35] <clusty> i am runing edgy and need wish
[05:35] <clusty> what bloody package implements this?
[05:35] <UAnon> What sort of a wish?
[05:36] <clusty> tcl thingie
[05:36] <Pollywog> isn't it called wish, the package?
[05:36] <ikonia_> fruitbag its normally an option in gnome-termainl on the menu
[05:36] <clusty> its virtual
[05:36] <Pollywog> it is related to TK and TCL
[05:36] <Pollywog> IIRC
[05:37] <clusty> Pollywog, so what is to be done?
[05:37] <UAnon> When did IIRC come around?
[05:37] <|NewUser|> ikonia: i tried to set GRUB .. but same problem again.
[05:37] <edan> ikonia_, hh sorry
[05:37] <UAnon> I rarely seen people using it just a few years ago
[05:37] <ikonia_> |NewUser| your partition data must be wrong
[05:37] <pestilence> i have mplayer plugin installed, and it plays all the videos found on the mplayer plugin testing ground page, but it won't play any streaming videos (i.e. cnn.com)
[05:37] <BruceLeeds> I have this on my screen:
[05:37] <pestilence> it seems to bounce around on redirects
[05:37] <BruceLeeds> "Buffer I/0 error on device hdb6, logical block 64
[05:38] <BruceLeeds> Error reading block 8 (Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read). Ignore error (y)?
[05:38] <clusty> pestilence, what format is the video?
[05:38] <BruceLeeds>  yes
[05:38] <BruceLeeds> Force rewrity (y)?"
[05:38] <BruceLeeds> I did fsck - but it says that I may loose data...
[05:38] <BruceLeeds> I didn't manage to mount the harddrive with knoppix...
[05:38] <BruceLeeds> What else could I do?
[05:38] <ikonia_> BruceLeeds your disk has a hardware issue - as Seveas told you earlier
[05:38] <|NewUser|> ikonia_: can i set GRUB on another location means with Another linux?
[05:38] <pestilence> clusty: i think it's wmv, but it's a streaming wmv (i think asf is the standard)
[05:38] <BruceLeeds> ikonia: yes, I know, but what shall I do? I can't mount it - even not with knoppix!!
[05:38] <ikonia_> |NewUser| no idea what you asking
[05:38] <Faolchu> Are there any console multiple-IM clients that allow multiple accounts on a single protocol? Centericq offers multi-protocols, but no multi-accounts on any one protocol.
[05:39] <ikonia_> BruceLeeds kiss your data good bye
[05:39] <Seveas> BruceLeeds, then I think it's time to do that panic thing
[05:39] <UAnon> |NewUser|, you can put grub onto a boot/usb/floppy
[05:39] <ikonia_> BruceLeeds this is not an ubuntu issue
[05:39] <pestilence> clusty: i have all the codecs, i think.  i never have trouble playing things outside of firefox in the standalone player
[05:39] <drewzf> UAnon: What package do I want to download?
[05:39] <Seveas> BruceLeeds, try copying an image with dd_rescue and do fsck on that
[05:39] <BruceLeeds> ikonia: ok - which kind of topic is it then?
[05:39] <clusty> pestilence, i had a hard time to install firefox mplayer plugin
[05:39] <UAnon> drewzf, no clue ask ikonia, I only act like I know what Im doing
[05:39] <clusty> cant really help you there
[05:39] <ikonia_> BruceLeeds hardware
[05:39] <BruceLeeds> Seveas: How can I do that, if I am not able to mount it=
[05:39] <BruceLeeds> ?
[05:40] <ikonia_> dd doesn't need to mount
[05:40] <BruceLeeds> ikonia: so who shall I ask then?
[05:40] <ikonia_> BruceLeeds I don't know
[05:40] <BruceLeeds> thanks
[05:40] <BruceLeeds> (honestly)
[05:40] <ikonia_> BruceLeeds but its nothing to do with ubuntu - call a PC support shop and ask them for hardware recovery help if you are that bothered about data
[05:41] <fruitbag> Is C programming really at the root of many software security issues?
[05:41] <ikonia_> fruitbag offtopic
[05:41] <jrib> fruitbag: #ubuntu-offtopic is a better place
[05:41] <ikonia_> fruitbag #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:41] <ikonia_> too slow my figners
[05:41] <jrib> my fingers > your figners
[05:41] <drewzf> ikonia: What package should I download to obtain 'networking'
[05:41] <ikonia_> drewzf none
[05:42] <drewzf> ikonia: Will netwox do it?
[05:42] <ikonia_> no
[05:42] <drewzf> ikonia: How do I get the networking package then?
[05:42] <fruitbag> Very well.
[05:42] <ikonia_> you should have it
[05:42] <drewzf> But I don't.
[05:42] <UAnon> drewzf, I believe you should check whether your Ethernet card is detected altogether
[05:42] <ikonia_> how do you no
[05:42] <ikonia_> know
[05:42] <|NewUser|> ikonia_: on the grub prompt i typed "find /boot/grub/stage1" then its show me two result 1."(hd0,6) this is my Ubuntu Volume And 2."(hd0,7) And this One is Fat file system
[05:42] <drewzf> ikonia: Because when I do dpkg-reconfigure networking it says "Unknown package: networking"
[05:43] <ikonia_> drewzf because that may not be the package name
[05:43] <drewzf> Then why would it be installed to /etc/init.d/networking ?
[05:43] <subMacrolize> I'm having trouble extracting music from my iPod.
[05:43] <ikonia_> drewzf thats just an init script
[05:43] <drewzf> And no, my ethernet card isn't being detected.
[05:43] <Seveas> !find /etc/init.d/networking
[05:43] <jrib> drewzf: netbase  owns that file
[05:43] <ikonia_> drewzf thats a kernel issue
[05:43] <ubotu> File /etc/init.d/networking found in netbase
[05:43] <|NewUser|> ikonia_ : after that i set root (hd0,6)
[05:43] <Seveas> drewzf, package is netbase
[05:44] <UAnon> drewzf, then google and resolve the issue with detecting your ethernet card
[05:44] <|NewUser|> ikonia_ : after that setup that partition?
[05:44] <ikonia_> |NewUser| setup is your boot DISK not partition
[05:45] <ikonia_> eggauah: (hd0)
[05:45] <ikonia_> oops
[05:45] <LightCatcher> How do I learn more about this find command you just used on ubotu that just blew my mind?
[05:45] <ikonia_> example (hd0)
[05:45] <UAnon> LightCatcher, try "man find"
[05:45] <jrib> !ubotu | LightCatcher , you might be interested in apt-file or packages.ubuntu.com package content search, but info about ubotu:
[05:45] <ubotu> LightCatcher , you might be interested in apt-file or packages.ubuntu.com package content search, but info about ubotu:: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[05:46] <LightCatcher> thank you
[05:46] <LightCatcher> I was just amazed that you could make ubotu do it for us
[05:46] <bafoc> !help
[05:46] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[05:46] <apollo13> moin, how kann I add a route (or whatever) to get another gateway for one ip, example: my computer ist <IP_ADDRESS> the default gw is <IP_ADDRESS>, if I request the ip <IP_ADDRESS> I want to use the gateway <IP_ADDRESS> any idea how to do this. If no, it would be enough to use a different gateway for one single port (all traffic normal, smtp other gateway)
[05:47] <UAnon> LightCatcher, ubotu is an IRC bot which is scripted to accept "commands" from users and return information which is sometimes processed internally and the results are thus dynamic
[05:48] <sbn> How can you clean an dvd-rw in ubuntu?
[05:49] <LightCatcher> UAnon: Yes, I know what ubotu is, Thank you! I just didn't know that particular command was available, in other words I didn't realize how powerful ubotu was.
[05:52] <Pollywog> who was looking for "wish" command, are you still here?
[05:52] <fr500> is there something like this for linux http://www.orb.com/
[05:52] <fr500> ?
[05:52] <Faolchu> Are there any console multiple-IM clients that allow multiple accounts on a single protocol? Centericq offers multi-protocols, but no multi-accounts on any one protocol.
[05:53] <Pollywog> clusty you still here?
[05:54] <tier`> ... grr
[05:54] <alphagamma> Hi I was wondering if anyone could offer advice about installing DVD / win codecs. I've been on google and played around for a while. The freecontrib archives seem down still...
[05:54] <lvalue> hi, "ifconfig sit3 up" gives me "sit3: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device" what did i do wrong ?
[05:56] <predaeus> alphagamma: I think one needs libdvdcss2 to play dvds.
[05:57] <fr500> !streaming video
[05:57] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about streaming video - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:57] <fr500> is there any software to do streaming  video easly from linux?
[05:57] <tier`> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/59217 ... anyone know anything about this bug? the gstreamer package was already installed when i started getting these settings daemon errors
[05:57] <fr500> like www.orb.com
[05:57] <dyrne> fr500: vlc makes this pretty easy
[05:58] <fr500> dyrne: but have you seen orb?
[05:58] <fr500> dyrne: i mean the whole package like that
[05:59] <dyrne> fr500: never seen orb before
[05:59] <fr500> it pretty good software
[05:59] <fr500> should try it
[05:59] <haxality> hey all.
[06:00] <haxality> having a weird error pop up on boot. something about 'module not found: scanPCI'
[06:00] <KlasRudian> haxality dmesg
[06:00] <KlasRudian> what does it say?
[06:01] <KlasRudian> about the error?
[06:01] <haxality> I already tried greping my dmesg for it and it doesn't have anything
[06:01] <KlasRudian> grep (EE)
[06:01] <KlasRudian> grep (WW)
[06:02] <haxality> ?
[06:02] <Rambo3> haxality, do you have any unused PCI device?
[06:02] <haxality> hmmm.
[06:02] <haxality> what do you mean by unused PCI device?
[06:03] <haxality> I mean, I know what you mean by PCI device, but what do you mean by unused
[06:03] <KlasRudian> dmesg | grep (EE)
[06:03] <Rambo3> do an lspci and look for unknown
[06:03] <KlasRudian> dmesg | grep (WW)
[06:03] <haxality> I can't use grep with parantheses
[06:03] <KlasRudian> :O
[06:03] <haxality> it thinks it's a regex expression
[06:03] <haxality> one sec I'll put it in quotes
[06:03] <haxality> nada
[06:03] <KlasRudian> aaa wait
[06:04] <KlasRudian> i'm thinking about xorg.conf
[06:04] <KlasRudian> sorry my bad
[06:04] <haxality> hahaha
[06:04] <KlasRudian> rofl
[06:04] <haxality> it's all good
[06:04] <KlasRudian> lspci
[06:04] <KlasRudian> does it give you any complete unknow device ?
[06:05] <haxality> hmmmm I don't think so
[06:05] <haxality> no it sees everything
[06:05] <haxality> even the obscure-ass toshiba SD card reader
[06:05] <Gnomer[q] > Hey folks, need a bit of help with graphics
[06:05] <Gnomer[q] > Zaggynl, ;)
[06:05] <haxality> is there a way to view the bootup output
[06:05] <majimu> hola
[06:05] <mindstate> having some trouble getting the java plugin to work with swiftfox..  all my other firefox plugins show up in about:plugins but not java .. java does show up in firefox though..any help?
[06:06] <Rambo3> dmesg is your bootup output
[06:06] <Zaggynl> Gnomer[q] , (:>
[06:06] <Rambo3> has
[06:06] <haxality> ah but it's not, Rambo3
[06:06] <haxality> I mean, it is, but it doesn't have 100% of the bootup output
[06:06] <Gnomer[q] > My system just requires me to reinstall the nVidia driver every time I start
[06:06] <Gnomer[q] > Otherwise, X fails
[06:07] <haxality> one sec though lemme sift through dmesg
[06:07] <KlasRudian> haxality is there anything that's not working propely on you machine then??
[06:07] <bafoc> Gnomer[q] : Did you use the ubuntu gui, or did you download the nvidia installer from their website?
[06:07] <haxality> hmmm
[06:07] <Gnomer[q] > bafoc, from the website.
[06:07] <haxality> afaik, everything is fine
[06:07] <KlasRudian> or is it just a modul it tryes to load and you don't have that hardware??
[06:07] <Gnomer[q] > I needed the video accelerator :)
[06:08] <bafoc> hmm, that's what I used and it works perfect...
[06:08] <bafoc> hmm
[06:08] <UbunAnon> Seveas, <3
[06:08] <bafoc> Ya me to.. to run beryl
[06:08] <bafoc> :-)
[06:08] <haxality> KlasRudian: if I had to venture a guess, that would be it
[06:08] <Gnomer[q] > bafoc, It complains at X about the kernel module
[06:08] <Seveas> UbunAnon, I'm warning you. Last person who stalked me ended with a k-line
[06:08] <bafoc> Gnomer[q] : Can you BCC me your xorg.conf
[06:08] <UbunAnon> Seveas, Im not stalking you its you who is harassing me, a kline is more than welcome though
[06:09] <Phaqui_> Is anyone in here able to help me with my teamspeak problem? You see, I can't seem to be able to talk, or hear anything.
[06:10] <dyrne> Phaqui: other than that its working fine? :)
[06:10] <bafoc> Gnomer[q] : I'm guessing you didn't see any errors during the nvidia install like when it started building the driver with your kernel source?
[06:10] <Gnomer[q] > bafoc, no errors
[06:10] <Gnomer[q] > I'm about to pastebin the conf for you.
[06:11] <haxality> KlasRudian: I guess my next question is where can I find the list of modules that are loaded on boot
[06:11] <Phaqui> yea, it seems to be working fine, the only problem is.. well, yeah, I can't use it for anything since I can't speak nor listen!
[06:11] <bafoc> Gnomer[q] : That's a big file.... would flood the screen
[06:11] <KlasRudian> well
[06:11] <linux_> 1
[06:11] <KlasRudian> "/etc/modules" one place
[06:11] <Gnomer[q] > bafoc, it's text :/
[06:11] <Gnomer[q] > Pastebin = Website
[06:11] <Gnomer[q] > I'm actually using nopaste though
[06:12] <Gnomer[q] > Link to the conf in the notice.
[06:12] <bafoc> Ah, ok.. cool never heard of it... ( guess I'm begining to be an oldtimer of linux and stuff :-) )
[06:12] <Shane-S> not sure what happened, but runnng /etc/init.d/apache start or restart, I get an an error can not chown /var/lock/apache2, any idea why it is doing that, what the default permissions and mod should be on that folder?
[06:12] <bafoc> msg me the link
[06:12] <haxality> KlasRudian: any way I can search through all the text files on my system?
[06:13] <KlasRudian> ??
[06:13] <Shane-S> I just installed it from synaptic and modded my conf file
[06:13] <haxality> I'll just search for 'scanpci' and see what comes up
[06:13] <bafoc> sure hax grep -lir
[06:13] <haxality> oh, how I love grep
[06:13] <Gnomer[q] > bafoc, get it?
[06:13] <bafoc> No bro sorry
[06:13] <bafoc> I'm using BitchX
[06:13] <bafoc> :-)
[06:13] <Gnomer[q] > Sigh.
[06:13] <Gnomer[q] > DCC?
[06:13] <bafoc> sure
[06:13] <pestilence> mediaplayerconnectivity plugin for firefox kicks ass!
[06:14] <haxality> pestilence: yes.
[06:14] <Gnomer[q] > bafoc, meh. http://rafb.net/p/Iqh6IL11.html
[06:14] <Gnomer[q] > To lazy, there is the link.
[06:14] <pestilence> i can watch all the games at the same time :-D
[06:14] <haxality> haha
[06:14] <bafoc> cool got it
[06:14] <bafoc> one sec
[06:15] <alphagamma> predaeus et al, I know I need libdvdcss2 & w32codecs to play dvds and windows media files respectively. The issue is fining/getting a repository to work or finding a location where the packages can be downloaded
[06:15] <jenda> Hmm... I do translations... Is there a way I could have Ubuntu restore a translating session in full, so I wouldn't have to open and resize four windows individually? This would involve one pdf viewer at the top of teh screen, one OO.org window at the bottom, one OO.org fullscreened in the background and a browser open at my dictionary...
[06:15] <jenda> Tips?
[06:15] <pestilence> alphagamma: you can get the codecs from mplayerhq.hu
[06:15] <Gnomer[q] > pestilence, or automatix <.<
[06:15] <welch> i have not had any luck getting my onboard wireless hardware to work in ubuntu, everything i read seems to say my cause is hopeless. do any of you know where i can look for a driver?
[06:16] <pestilence> alphagamma: although they won't be in deb format, you just have put the contents of the archive in /usr/lib/win32
[06:16] <alphagamma> cheers I'll check that up
[06:16] <UbunAnon> I just got a weird error anyone has an idea what just happened?
[06:16] <bafoc> :Gnomer, can you pipe the error to a file and send that over....
[06:16] <daubs> welch, what wifi card do you have?
[06:16] <haxality> welch: what card do you have?
[06:16] <alphagamma> pestilence, what location should I put the DVD codecs in
[06:16] <UbunAnon> grep: 01010011.01100101.01110110.01100101.01100001.01110011.00100000.01101100.01101111.01110110.01100101.01110011.00100000.01110100.01101000.01100101.00100000.01100011.00110000.01100011.01101011.: No such file or directory
[06:16] <welch> i cannot find that information on the emachines site
[06:16] <LightCatcher> Is there a way to make it so I can see who's nicknames are registered or not in Gaim?
[06:16] <Gnomer[q] > bafoc, to be honest I'm not sure how to recreate the error like that.
[06:17] <haxality> welch: what model computer do you have?
[06:17] <Pollywog> pestilence what is that plugin exactly?
[06:17] <welch> emachines m2352
[06:17] <Pollywog> it lets you watch tv ?
[06:17] <haxality> alright give me one second
[06:17] <bafoc> Xorg -configure and then follow what it says
[06:17] <bafoc> from command prompt
[06:17] <UbunAnon> That is so weird, gep gives me random error strings now its "536576656173206C6F76657320746865206330636B00"
[06:18] <UbunAnon> Anyone seen anything remotely familiar "%53%65%76%65%61%73%20%6C%6F%76%65%73%20%74%68%65%20%63%30%63%6B%00" ?
[06:18] <predaeus> UbunAnon, what are you doing?
[06:18] <bafoc> UbunAnon: whats your command line you are typing?
[06:18] <Gnomer[q] > bafoc, xorg -configure isn't a command :/
[06:19] <bafoc> "X" not "x"
[06:19] <bafoc> caps X
[06:19] <bafoc> just as I typed it above
[06:19] <|NewUser|> ikonia u there?
[06:19] <Gnomer[q] > Sigh, it's going to make me kill this x session
[06:19] <Gnomer[q] > V.v
[06:19] <bafoc> hmm, oh yeah, it will
[06:20] <UbunAnon> I was trying to compile some package manually, Sakecvo ECS for Gentoo but its giving me those errors
[06:20] <bafoc> sorry, forgot to mention that
[06:20] <estupendocero> I want to use an ipod nano as removable storage, like a thumb drive, but ubuntu isn't recognizing it like it should. I've tried restarting the machine with the device connected, to no avail. This has always been an issue with USB storage devices, but it's neverbeen mission-critical till now.
[06:20] <Huffalump> Does anyone have experience with ntfs-3g?   I have it installed, but was unable to find out how to search/probe for NTFS partitions.  The instructions on the official site seem to imply that you should automagically know /dev/hda1/foo/bar ... but I don't.  What's the advice here on how to get a list of the partitions (plural, in my case)?
[06:20] <UbunAnon><PHONE_NUMBER>45141163040154157166145163040164150145040143060143153
[06:20] <dalespc> is there web site of ubuntu vid how to
[06:20] <estupendocero> Can I manually mount it?
[06:20] <Gnomer[q] > bafoc, couldn't I just check the log files for xorg?
[06:20] <UbunAnon> estupendocero, thats weird it does recognize my 5G Ipod
[06:20] <bafoc> Sure, send that over
[06:21] <Rep0rter> Hi how do you open a .rar archives ?
[06:21] <Huffalump> dalespc, how to what?  be specific, if you can.  Ubuntu is easy.
[06:21] <dyrne> Rep0rter: install unrar   the nonfree one
[06:21] <Rep0rter> ok
[06:21] <|NewUser|> ikonia: still same problem with the grub :< i am dont know about grub more.. i used Ubuntu first time :<
[06:21] <dyrne> Rep0rter: syntax is just: unrar e file.rar
[06:22] <estupendocero> UbunAnon, yeah, it's never recognized any usb storage device. I remember I've manually mounted thumb drives in the past, but it's supposed to just recognize as soon as it plugs in, right?
[06:22] <dalespc> i am looking for how to in video
[06:22] <UbunAnon> Thats what it does with mine thus yes estupendocero
[06:22] <Huffalump> dalespc, a video of how to..... how to what?
[06:23] <bafoc> Gnomer[q] : try something for me... just a hunch
[06:23] <dalespc> i want to know linux i like this but need to learn it
[06:23] <Gnomer[q] > bafoc, name it.
[06:23] <bafoc> ls /dev/input/mice
[06:23] <Huffalump> dalespc, I understand you're saying you are very new to linux.  That's great!  What are you trying to learn how to do?
[06:23] <bafoc> or ls -al /dev/input/mice
[06:23] <UbunAnon> estupendocero, Seveas was able to auto mount his USB powered dildo-thumb-drive, so its definitely something wrong with your system
[06:24] <Gnomer[q] > bafoc, this would work better if it were in PM
[06:24] <bafoc> sure, PM me
[06:24] <dalespc> i have a game called second life and want to install it
[06:24] <estupendocero> UbunAnon, what could be causing it?
[06:24] <bafoc> :-)
[06:24] <Odd_Bloke> Hi guys, whenever I try to play certain avis, I get "[mp3 @ 0xef7bb0] Header missing skipping one byte." spammed out to the screen and some static-y audio output (though video is fine). I assume I'm missing a codec, but don't know where to look. Playback of MP3 files is fine.
[06:24] <estupendocero> I'd be happy just to manually mount it for now
[06:24] <bafoc> I may need to use xchat..
[06:24] <bafoc> brb
[06:24] <Gnomer[q] > bafoc, k.
[06:25] <Gnomer[q] > One sec, need to register
[06:25] <Gnomer[q] > OR switch nicks
[06:25] <Huffalump> dalespc, I found some instructions.... the commentary is not English, but if you run the line commands... it doesn't look hard.  http://www.ubuntugames.org/SecondLife
[06:25] <Huffalump> dalespc, basically, you need to download second life.  then open a Terminal (where you put in the line commands).  and --it seems-- enter these commands.  presto!
[06:25] <alienseer23> !wine
[06:25] <dalespc> ok thanks
[06:25] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[06:26] <PriceChild> dalespc, it works perfectly... just download their client, extract it, then run ./SecondLife inside it and it launches fine

[06:36] <poncho1> shane-s sudo gedit filename
[06:36] <killemall> even tho i add listen_port=1000 in vsftpd.conf, its still allowing connections on port21, but not 1000
[06:36] <Rambo3> keeo him baned
[06:36] <Rob_> i just loaded mepis i want to see my win 2k network how do i do it
[06:37] <Shane-S> as the command line waits for me to close gedit before it releases the command line back to me
[06:37] <killemall> oh maybe i should try a port greater than 1025
[06:37] <jacekowski> why 18:36 -!- 1 - #ubuntu: ban<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[by Seveas!n=seveas@ubuntu/member/seveas, 782 secs ago]  - he is banned?

[06:37] <Shane-S> ahh ok
[06:37] <Pici> jacekowski: Contact the person who banned him (Seveas) about that

[06:40] <jenda> PriceChild: well, in a book I'm translating...
[06:40] <Jack> is there anything i can pass to the kernel at boot to skip fsck?
[06:40] <Pici> OO does too much word completion for me...
[06:40] <jenda> PriceChild: and it contains the word 'detoxification' about a thousand times...
[06:40] <PriceChild> jenda, I think it will autocomplete dates and things... but not random words :)
[06:40] <|NewUser|> dyrne: when i type setup (hd0) its shows me succeeded msg n done it? now just reboot?
[06:40] <ladonna> need help with wireless card install....
[06:40] <Pici> PriceChild: It does random words....

[06:41] <mib> hey guys, I want to install ubuntu on a mac, I got the "ubuntu for mac"-cd by shipping, gut there is no autostart and no button to start the installation. What can I do?
[06:41] <ladonna> trying to use madwifi, unsure how to install restricted-modules
[06:41] <Reschat> Does anybody know how to change the gedit default spellcheck-language?
[06:41] <dyrne> |NewUser|: yeah if you have a problem boot back to livecd and edit menu.lst
[06:41] <PriceChild> !install | mib
[06:41] <ubotu> mib: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[06:41] <jenda> whoa... it doesn't even recognise words with spellcheck...
[06:41] <PriceChild> mib, you have to boot off of the cd... you realise this isn't a windows program?
[06:41] <bsnider> they finally fixed mplayer this morning
[06:42] <PriceChild> mib, *mac program
[06:42] <dyrne> bsnider: ? problem with mplayer
[06:42] <ladonna> has anyone successfully installed a wifi card on edgy
[06:42] <colbert> I'm looking for a weather and calculator widget for my desktop, anyone ??
[06:42] <bsnider> dyrne: not anymore
[06:42] <jenda> Solarion: OO.org doesn't recognise any words for spellchecking, and doesn't store any words for completion (there is only one stored, and no new ones are added...)
[06:42] <jenda> Help! :)
[06:42] <Shane-S> does gedit make files with a ~ after them by default or is that an error somewhere?
[06:42] <PriceChild> jenda, did you fix beryl btw?
[06:43] <kalve> colbert: you want a widget that gives you both calculator ADN weather?
[06:43] <jenda> PriceChild: nope
[06:43] <jenda> PriceChild: I have no clue how
[06:43] <Shane-S> like I just edited a file named default, and doing an LS there is now a default~ as well
[06:43] <PriceChild> Shane-S, those are temporary files and its really annoying! :)
[06:43] <mib> PriceChild, what do you mean? It's teh first time I set of a OS on a MAc
[06:43] <bsnider> dyrne: it was a known bug, i read the info on it, but this morning's update fixed it
[06:43] <Seveas> Shane-S, your editor made a backup
[06:43] <PriceChild> jenda, i'd suggest trying to remove/rename your current ~/.beryl dir
[06:43] <Shane-S> k ty
[06:43] <Seveas> Shane-S, gedit and joe do that, probably others as well
[06:43] <colbert> kalve: Sorry, lol no I mean I'm looking for widgets for weather and calculator, etc.. individual ones that can be put on desktop and move around and such
[06:43] <ivx> hey i got one of my friends to try ubuntu, and he decided he didn't like it and just remove the linux partition, now his coomputer won't boot cause of no grub, anyway to fix this?
[06:43] <jacekowski> Seveas: wtf?
[06:43] <PriceChild> mib, You can't start the instillation from inside the OS, you need to boot off of the cd
[06:43] <Shane-S> problem is that will confuse the heck out of apache
[06:43] <ladonna> simple question, how do I install restricted-modules
[06:43] <Seveas> sigh
[06:43] <Shane-S> guess I will stick to PICO
[06:43] <dyrne> bsnider: what id like to see is mplayer switch to mp3lib when it detects a crappily made video so i dont have to -afm
[06:44] <foo> How much bandwidth have you guys seen 1 server push? The hardware I'm working with is a core 2 duo, raid 5 with 3 400GB drives with a 3mware card. Pushing 130mbit continuously.. I see the load at about 70. Server is still responsive, which is good... but iowait is still up there.
[06:44] <PriceChild> grrr
[06:44] <ladonna> trying to install madwifi
[06:44] <Shane-S> gui is just so much nicer :(
[06:44] <Pici> colbert: Check out gdesklets , I dont know the name of the K compatible version
[06:44] <bsnider> dyrne: i think that is what was fixed
[06:44] <Crazytom> my ubuntu bootup is hanging and i tried the noacpi boot option but it still hangs
[06:44] <winmutt> foo: we have alot of servers with gigabit uplinks
[06:44] <dyrne> bsnider: oh :)
[06:44] <|NewUser|> dyrne: after reboot GRUB show me menu 0f OS selection when i try to select Ubuntu or RHEL so msg comes ERROR 17: Cannot mount selected Partition.. same with RHEL too.. but Windows XP selection Working fine.. now what shold i do.. want to use Ubuntu
[06:44] <bafoc> Pici: KDE uses SuperKaramba...
[06:44] <bsnider> dyrne: but it has not been able to play mp3s for about a month now
[06:44] <Pici> bafoc: Thanks
[06:44] <bafoc> np
[06:45] <ScribbleJ> ladonna, if you are on Edgy, sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic
[06:45] <foo> winmutt: Can I PM you? This channel is crazy
[06:45] <mib> PriceChild: I already tried this, but there is anything like "booting from cd" it's just booting Mac like it normaly does
[06:45] <AMD> hi
[06:45] <jenda> gah - fixed. For some reason, english (australia) was the language chosen :/
[06:45] <bafoc> hi AMD, how is ATI?
[06:45] <bafoc> hehe
[06:45] <PriceChild> mib, Im' not familiar with macs, but I'd guess you still have to edit the boot order in the bios
[06:46] <winmutt> foo: 587.05
[06:46] <ladonna> ScribbleJ: i was told this sequence to get my wifi card to work
[06:46] <winmutt> oh wait
[06:46] <dyrne> |NewUser|: id boot from live cd and 'gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst' then pastebin that so we can look at it
[06:46] <bafoc> for Mac's you don't use the BIOS to set your Bootable disk
[06:46] <Reschat> Do anyone know how to change the gedit default spellcheck-language?
[06:46] <foo> winmutt: What's that? :)
[06:46] <Pici> mib: Theres a specific key combination you need to press during boot.  I havent touched a mac in years so I dont know what it is.
[06:46] <dyrne> |NewUser|: er actually /media/hda7/boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:46] <oopsy> hey
[06:46] <Rambo3> |NewUser|, what do you disc partitions look like , and that is grun saying ?
[06:47] <oopsy> I tried using ndiswrapper for my ralink
[06:47] <Rambo3> the menu
[06:47] <jacekowski_> Seveas: why you banned me?
[06:47] <winmutt> foo:183.16mb/s 95th
[06:47] <mib> PriceChild: Good idea, but there is nothing like bios like you'd know it from windwos. Do you know how to get into something like bios on a mac?
[06:47] <oopsy> I tried using ndiswrapper for my ralink, but when I rebooted
[06:47] <Seveas> that one is getting too annoying
[06:47] <oopsy> ubuntu doesn't start
[06:47] <oopsy> it just stays on the booting screen
[06:47] <Crazytom> ladonna, what kind of card do you have
[06:47] <AMD> bafoc: A  Little wet behind the ears :)
[06:47] <alienseer23> hello, if I want a doubble booting machine, is it necessary to install ubuntu after or before windows?
[06:47] <oopsy> in Configuring Network Interfaces
[06:47] <foo> winmutt: Ok, so it's pushing 183mbit/sec... what's 95th?
[06:47] <winmutt> foo: we run mostly debian
[06:47] <PriceChild> mib, I haven't a clue :) have you checked the install guide on the wiki?
[06:47] <alienseer23> ((so sad I am installing windows))
[06:47] <Rambo3> oopsy, doesn't ralink provide native drivers for linux
[06:47] <winmutt> 95th percentile
[06:47] <Pici> alienseer23: Easier if you install it after
[06:47] <PriceChild> mib, That's all I can suggest sorry.
[06:47] <mib> what would be really helpfull Pici, does anybody know this combination?
[06:48] <oopsy> Rambo3, I don't know.. does it?
[06:48] <Pici> mib: I'd try googling for it.
[06:48] <I3ooI3oo> you hold down "c" to boot from CD on a MAC
[06:48] <|NewUser|> Rambo3: before my GRUB not Working .. now my GRUB shows me Selection 0f Wchich OS to load. but now
[06:48] <mib> k, thx
[06:48] <ladonna> Crazytom: belkin F5D7000 ver.7000
[06:48] <|NewUser|> Rambo3 : after reboot GRUB show me menu 0f OS selection when i try to select Ubuntu or RHEL so msg comes ERROR 17: Cannot mount selected Partition.. same with RHEL too.. but Windows XP selection Working fine.. now what shold i do.. want to use Ubuntu
[06:48] <alienseer23> Pici, what do I have to do if I install Ubuntu first?
[06:48] <Rob_> i am soo lost can i have a coach just loaded mepis
[06:48] <ladonna> Crazytom: tried ndiswrapper w/bcmwl5 did not work
[06:48] <Seveas> Rob_, try the mepis channels/forums
[06:48] <Rambo3> oopsy, http://www.ralinktech.com/ralink/Home/Support/Linux.html , take a look at ubuntuforums too
[06:48] <winmutt> foo: you take all the 5 min data points over a month, order them by size and pick the 95th percenile
[06:48] <Rob_> how where
[06:48] <Pici> alienseer23: You may need to reinstall grub after you install windows
[06:48] <bafoc> alienseer23: you have to dd the first 512K blocks from your boot sector and save it to a file...
[06:48] <winmutt> foo: its how real hosting is billed
[06:49] <Pici> alienseer23: actually you WILL need to reinstall grub
[06:49] <winmutt> foo: some marketing weasel came up with it for sure
[06:49] <ladonna> Crazytom: also tried ndiswrapper w/ driver on cd (XP and 98)
[06:49] <jacekows1i_> Seveas: please answer
[06:49] <bafoc> alienseer23: do a google search for dual booting linux and windows, there are tons of docs out there
[06:49] <alienseer23> I won't have to do this if I can get WINE to run, but wine will not install anything?!?!
[06:49] <alienseer23> so, all I would have to do is reinstall grub?
[06:49] <winmutt> when you aggregate alot of 95th customrs into one line you get about a 12-15% markup off the bat
[06:49] <bafoc> Pici: only if you want to use grub as your bootloader
[06:49] <ladonna> Crazytom: I thought it used a broadcom chipset, but apparently not
[06:49] <Crazytom> ladonna, shouldn't need ndiswrapper on a broadcom chip
[06:49] <Horizon> mib: for mac you need to do cmd-opt-O-F
[06:49] <Horizon> on boot
[06:49] <Pici> bafoc: Most people do.
[06:50] <mib> I got it. it's "c"!
[06:50] <Rambo3> |NewUser|, press e to edit  ubuntu line at grub and tell me what it says , also paritions of you disc , is ubuntu on extended , or primery

[06:50] <ladonna> Crazytom: I used ndiswrapper on another belkin w/bcmwl5 worked as advertised. that is why im confused
[06:50] <bafoc> Pici: installing grub after you have installed windows from CD... that's harder than installing windows first, then linux :-)
[06:50] <cableguy> whenever i run 3d games it causes my system to freeze
[06:51] <Pici> bafoc: I had already suggested to him to install linux second, he wanted to know what to do if he did it in the other order.
[06:51] <Rob_> how can i connect linux to a windows network to see shares
[06:51] <Rambo3> |NewUser|,  ok is it on first extended ?

[06:51] <ladonna> Crazytom: nothing, it doesnt even show in networking just modem and wired. I'm using the wired connection now....

[07:05] <belyle> howdy all, I'm using gaim beta 6 and my system keeps wanting me to "upgrade" to gaim beta3-ubuntu.  I've tried locking the package version in synaptic, but it still insists that I need to upgrade.  It wouldn't be a big deal, really, except when I 'upgrade,' the AIM/ICQ plugin no longer works/loads.  Is there a way to hardcode/blacklist the gaim update so it will stop bugging me about it?
[07:05] <|NewUser|> no im in freddy@freddy
[07:06] <Rambo3> PriceChild, thats safe mode
[07:06] <estupendocero> I'm trying to mount this ipod - it's not in fstab, it's not in mtab, it doesn't autodetect, and I can't find anything online. What gives?
[07:06] <|NewUser|> Rambo3 : now im on on propmt freddy@freddy$
[07:06] <Rambo3> type tartx
[07:06] <Rambo3> startx
[07:06] <PriceChild> Rambo3, Its definitely not a good idea to start a root X ;)
[07:06] <Pollywog> if I chmod 600 my /boot/grub/menu.lst will my machine still boot?  I think it will but I am unsure
[07:06] <|NewUser|> Rambo3: X: user not authorized to run the X server, aborting
[07:07] <Rambo3> ok
[07:07] <Rambo3> |NewUser|,  type : /etc/init.d/gdm start
[07:07] <|NewUser|> ya X server start i type sudo startx
[07:07] <|NewUser|> i m on terminal
[07:08] <eigenlambda> oic... lol
[07:08] <eigenlambda> postrm scripts are hidden in /var/lib/dpkg/info/
[07:08] <Rambo3> |NewUser|,  type : gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.list
[07:08] <eigenlambda> so all i need to do is run those commands manually, and delete the script there hehe
[07:09] <Crazytom> ladonna, how did you conclude it was a broadcom chip?
[07:09] <bishopek> I have a problem with gnome-ppp/wvdial with nozomi. I have o Globetrotter Fusion+ card and gnome-ppp is somehow not working. Here is the output: http://rafb.net/p/zuNrg995.html - What could be wrong? Is it because the differences in the commands?

[07:10] <Rambo3> |NewUser|,  type : gedit /boot/grub/menu.list
[07:10] <ladonna> Crazytom:  i wasnt sure, it is the same as the other belkin i have that uses a broadcom chipset
[07:10] <Rambo3> since you are root
[07:10] <eigenlambda> fortunately, dpkg is more open than gnome as to what its up to
[07:10] <|NewUser|> Rambo3: ya file is not open is not .list its .lst
[07:10] <|NewUser|> Rambo3 now its open.
[07:10] <ladonna> Crazytom:  the driver that was on the cd did not work with ndiswrapper either, is this of any consequence?
[07:10] <LightCatcher_> is it "safe" to run programs (like firefox and gaim) while ubuntu is installing updates?
[07:11] <Pollywog> Light in general, yes
[07:11] <Crazytom> ladonna, same version card?
[07:11] <Pollywog> LightCatcher_:  in general, yes
[07:11] <Rambo3> change groot  to 0.6 then scroll down and change parameters as you did on boot
[07:11] <Rambo3> ,
[07:11] <Pollywog> LightCatcher_: unlike that other OS
[07:12] <ladonna> Crazytom:  not sure, sorry. that is why I was tring to use madwifi becaus ei thought this card uses a different chipset
[07:12] <LightCatcher> pollywog: Thanks. What if firefox and gaim themselves are being updated?
[07:12] <Pollywog> LightCatcher: in that case, better to stop them and then update
[07:13] <LightCatcher> thank you
[07:13] <Husio> hello
[07:13] <BouRne> how to disable the boot splash screen-windowsxp-like ?
[07:13] <ladonna> Crazytom:  when using bcmwl5 i received invalid driver. when using the driver from the cd with ndiswrapper, the driver loads but the card does not show up anywhere
[07:13] <Crazytom> ladonna, any chance that you could try the other card?
[07:14] <Pollywog> Bourne in kdm?
[07:14] <Jasperk> hey nobody know some page with information about install drivers....
[07:14] <Husio> which idiot has banned half of polish ubuntu users?
[07:14] <ladonna> Crazytom:  the other card is installed in another system
[07:14] <BouRne> Pollywog: no, like when it boots... and loads the system....
[07:14] <|NewUser|> Rambo3 : dont understand the file :< means on start There is 5 options to set
[07:14] <jrib> Husio: try #ubuntu-ops but you should consider using a more friendly attitude
[07:14] <ladonna> Crazytom:  that is why im confused. i tried the exact same procedures on this card as i did on the card that is functional
[07:15] <|NewUser|> Rambo3: title. Root. kernel. initrd. savedefault. boot
[07:15] <Husio> hey, someone allready tryed to speak to those dude...
[07:15] <Pollywog> Bourne: I think that is in grub if I understand you correctly
[07:15] <|NewUser|> Rambo3: i set the kernel parameter?
[07:15] <Husio> and he said that it's ok
[07:15] <Husio> so... no comments
[07:15] <Rambo3> |NewUser|,  root(hd0,6)
[07:15] <BouRne> Pollywog: hmmmmm.....
[07:15] <Crazytom> ladonna, you can't swap temporarily?
[07:15] <PriceChild> Husio, #ubuntu-ops We are aware of your concerns
[07:15] <BouRne> Pollywog: i will take a look at that
[07:15] <Rambo3> |NewUser|,  and root=/dev/hda7 on all
[07:16] <|NewUser|> Rambo3: okie
[07:16] <Pollywog> and in kdm there are two ways to disable the boot splash you see when kdm starts
[07:16] <Rambo3> and groot(0,6)
[07:16] <Pollywog> depending on the version of KDE
[07:16] <ladonna> Crazytom:  what are you suggesting? trying to determine if its the card or the something else?
[07:16] <Crazytom> ladonna yes, I'm over my head here if anyone else wants to take over.
[07:17] <Rambo3> |NewUser|, groot=(hd0,6)
[07:17] <Rambo3> only one
[07:17] <bryguy_> I'm trying to get Ubuntu or Fedora installed on an old thinkpad.  Boots only from floppy or hard drive, no cdrom drive.  It has a nonbootable usb port, and I have a 1GB USB disk.

[07:18] <Crazytom> ladonna, i'll be here for a bit i'm trying to get my computer to boot in under ten minutes
[07:19] <ladonna> Crazytom:  i have an extra D-Link AirPlus Xtreme DWL-G520 H/W Ver::B2 F/W Ver::3.1.6 will this work?
[07:19] <|NewUser|> Rambo3 : ya get it change it to (hd0,6)
[07:19] <Crazytom> ladonna, what chipset is it
[07:19] <Crazytom> Does anyone know if ubuntu will hotplug wireless cards?
[07:19] <ladonna> Crazytom:  not sure i think it is atheros
[07:19] <topgun553> Hey Could someone tell me how to set up my Wireless Router (Linksys) with Ubuntu so no one can steal my internet?
[07:20] <ladonna> Crazytom:  is there a way to confirm on the card?
[07:20] <CharlieChester> Pollywog: thanks.
[07:20] <LightCatcher> CharlieChester: I was having problems with the canadian repos the other day, so I removed "ca." from all of them.
[07:20] <Rambo3> topgun553, wire it

[07:21] <PriceChild> Valdebbo, XChat > network list > choose your network then press "Edit..."
[07:21] <metres>  Hi all I have problem installing kaffeine under a 32bits chroot I got these errors : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10497/
[07:21] <PriceChild> Valdebbo, you can add them there :)
[07:21] <Valdebbo> Thanks, PriceChild!
[07:22] <topgun553> Rambo3, I don't even know what I would need on that page
[07:22] <topgun553> Is there an easy thing to change in the admin of a linksys router only to let my laptop have wireless?
[07:23] <dyrne> topgun553: mac filtering?
[07:23] <CharlieChester> strange. websterwoord, milone, pretty much any third party ones are failing
[07:23] <bafoc> is there a google bot setup on freenode or on this channel?
[07:23] <Valdebbo> I'd recommend setting WPA, disabling SSID transmit and applying MAC filtering.
[07:23] <Rambo3> topgun553, open firefox type wiki wpa
[07:23] <topgun553> dyrne, whats mac filtering?
[07:23] <grantgm> topgun553: yea, mac address filtering is probably the best way
[07:23] <colbert> Has anyone here tried to view Quicktime movies on apple.com/quicktime?? If I load a page  that links to HD Trailers, firefox freezes
[07:23] <eXistenZ> any geek around here?
[07:23] <CharlieChester> wpa in ubuntu? The chance of getting gnome network manager working with that is small
[07:23] <Crazytom> Does anyone know if ubuntu will hotplug wireless cards?
[07:24] <topgun553> What is mac filtering?
[07:24] <Valdebbo> Unfortunately MAC filtering in itself doesn't help, because MAC addresses are spoofable.
[07:24] <dong> hi
[07:24] <|NewUser|> Rambo3: i change those fields. now save the file and reboot?
[07:24] <zmaster> Hey all, since Gnome 2.18 just got released, how can i upgrade to it ??
[07:24] <Rambo3> |NewUser|, yeah
[07:24] <|NewUser|> Rambo3: 1 more thing..
[07:24] <grantgm> a mac address is a unique identifier for each different network device
[07:24] <dong> hi@all
[07:24] <eigenlambda> zmaster: why the fuck would you want to do that?
[07:24] <eigenlambda> are you a gnome developer?
[07:24] <PriceChild> !ohmy | eigenlambda
[07:24] <ubotu> eigenlambda: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:24] <zmaster> calm down asswipe
[07:24] <|NewUser|> Rambo3: for Windows XP i set root (hd0,0)
[07:25] <CharlieChester> topgun553: also simply consider turning down the transmission power to about 10% if you can. The best protection in the world is them not being to tune in to your wireless!
[07:25] <PriceChild> !ohmy | zmaster
[07:25] <ubotu> zmaster: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[07:25] <grantgm> topgun553: so you can set up your router to only allow connections from you laptop's wireless card
[07:25] <eigenlambda> ps- gnome has plenty of information about how to build it from source if you're trying to use gentoo
[07:25] <rizhun> Can anyone tell me how to restart X? /etc/init.d/gdm restart just gives me a blank screen...

[07:25] <rizhun> shatrat: I would like to do it from a script.
[07:25] <PriceChild> Yodude, ubuntu doesn't include beryl
[07:25] <|NewUser|> And for RHEL i set root (hd0,5) ANd kernel /boot/vmlinux-2.6.9-5.EL (on /dev/hda6)
[07:26] <eigenlambda> Yodude: that's because it isn't packaged in the repository you're using yet
[07:26] <Yodude> nono i have the RC installed
[07:26] <zmaster> isnt it good to upgrade to the latest gnome version
[07:26] <yo2lux> An Intel Pentium 4 at 2Ghz and 512MB RAM, 128MB Video Card is enough to run Ubuntu with GNOME at good speed ?
