[05:37] <fiendskull9> after installing black box
[05:37] <fiendskull9> when i try to boot gnome
[05:38] <InfraRed> Unity: http://www.bittorrent.com/download.myt
[05:38] <InfraRed> it should be in apt somewhere
[05:38] <AndyA> has anyone had GREETER APP. problem on clean install amd64?
[05:38] <fiendskull9> it sais $HOME/.dmrc does not have proper permissions to save, and is being ignored. please give 644 permissions.
[05:38] <Unity> couldn't find it in apt unless we both spelled it wrong
[05:38] <fiendskull9> and then when i click ok
[05:38] <fiendskull9> i get a message saying
[05:38] <fiendskull9> session lasted less than 10 seconds, then goes back to login
[05:38] <InfraRed> Unity: apt-cache search bittorrent
[05:38] <foxbove> ciao
[05:38] <ssam> Unity, i think its installed by default. type 'bt' and press tab
[05:39] <fiendskull9> Unity, Bittorrent is auto installed on ubuntu
[05:39] <ssam> Unity, btdownloadcurses
[05:39] <eeeyore> Is there any way to get Ubuntu to do full automatic hardware redetection on every boot, or force a full automatic hardware redetect?
[05:39] <chmod775> maxkelley, hi dude
[05:40] <ssam> eeeyore, the live cd does it so it should be possible
[05:40] <Unity> ssam: E: Couldn't find package btdownloadcurses
[05:40] <ssam> Unity, thats the application name, i dont know what the packages is
[05:41] <Unity> maybe bittornado
[05:41] <kyncani> eeeyore: i think it already does, the package is named discover or discover1
[05:41] <Unity> grr! apt errors!
[05:41] <ssam> Unity, bittorrent
[05:41] <eeeyore> ssam: i believe the livecd uses a different system
[05:41] <maxkelley> hrmah?
[05:41] <Unity>  dpkg: error processing /var/cache/apt/archives/bittornado_0.3.11-4ubuntu4_all.deb (--unpack): unable to open files list file for package `libgcrypt11': Input/output error
[05:41] <ssam> eeeyore, yeah, it might be a big task, but technically possible
[05:42] <Unity> i get that error trying to install anything
[05:42] <eeeyore> I'm looking for something that isn't a big task ;)
[05:42] <NeverDream> is it possible to burn a cd without crashing my system?
[05:42] <ssam> eeeyore, maybe if you copy the entire live cd on to a partition and try and get grub to boot it
[05:42] <eeeyore> I know i can ask for example dpkg to redetect for the xorg package

[05:54] <patrick52222> ubuntu can use other desktops than gnome is this true
[05:54] <blueOrange> void^: thxs ill take another look. i have been looking but upon seeing contridictory info i was confused about what to do.
[05:55] <wine> winex
[05:55] <void^> patrick52222: of course
[05:55] <ssam> ron_, they work for me
[05:55] <patrick52222> where can i get these desktops then
[05:56] <patrick52222> just to try out
[05:56] <ssam> AndyA, you sometimes have to wait a while to get an answer
[05:56] <ssam> AndyA, have you tried the forums?
[05:57] <aridese> how do i use a *.rpm in ubuntu? with alien?
[05:57] <Arrick> AndyA: pull the trigger, it's easier and the wimps way out
[05:57] <Seveas> aridese, better not use them..
[05:57] <Arrick> AndyA: hehe
[05:57] <_jason> aridese: it's best if you don't, what are you trying to install?
[05:57] <aridese> an xmms-wma plugin
[05:57] <me> aridese it probably won't work
[05:57] <aridese> ah ok
[05:57] <deizi> does bitcomet work on wine?
[05:58] <ron_> bitcomet works without wine
[05:58] <C-O-L-T> how to delete my printer jobs in terminal ?
[05:58] <sinstari> Ok thanks. Here's the problem. During installation, the partitioner takes like an hour or so just to detect file systems and whatever else it is doing. After that, when I tries to actually create partitions, it takes even longer time. I have tried to get around this problem by creating partitions with slackware (which works), but If i choose to skip partition the hdd and start the setup instead, it enters the partitioner anyway...
[05:58] <mike-e> is it possible to log out of gnomea and just have a full screen console?
[05:58] <NeverDream> no way I'm install k3b if it's going to install all that kde crap
[05:58] <ron_> oh :/
[05:59] <me> CTRL ALT F1 will give you a full screen console
[05:59] <Seveas> mike-e, <ctrl><alt><f1>
[05:59] <peck_> how can I change ruby's target? i want "ruby" to point to /usr/local/bin/ruby
 brings you back
[05:59] <NeverDream> especially since the device manager gets it wrong, too
[05:59] <patrick52222> wats ruby
[05:59] <me> And then <ctrl><alt><f7> to get back
[05:59] <Seveas> peck_, remove uby from /usr/local/bin if you don't want to use it
[05:59] <C-O-L-T> Seveas: sorry to disturb, do you know how to delete printer jobs in terminal?
[05:59] <mike-e> thanks
[05:59] <_jason> you guys should really explain the ALT+f7 part first I think
[05:59] <Seveas> C-O-L-T, lprm (see its manpage for details)
[06:00] <peck_> Seveas, what to you mean?
[06:00] <Seveas> peck_, why is there a ruby in your /usr/local/bin?
[06:00] <Seveas> if you don't want to use it: remove it
[06:00] <Enthusiast78> Hi, people! I have installed xubuntu-desktop on a server installation and it comes with no login manager... Which one do you recommend?
[06:00] <ablm> hello
[06:00] <peck_> Seveas, 'cause I put it there when I compiled it
[06:00] <C-O-L-T> Seveas: thanks it works
[06:01] <Seveas> peck_, then why don't you want to use it?
[06:01] <me> ruby is used in amarok and maybe in some other programs. don't remove it
[06:01] <Enthusiast78> gdm?
[06:01] <Seveas> (peck_: a more usefu answer: make sure /usr/bin comes before /usr/local/bin in your $PATH)
[06:01] <AndyA> is anyone here using ubuntu 5.10 AMD64?
[06:01] <peck_> Seveas, exactly, how can I do that?
[06:01] <ablm> someone knows any site or tutorial to install dapper from badger ?
[06:01] <Seveas> peck_, dapper or breezy?
[06:01] <peck_> Seveas, breezy
[06:01] <me> ruby is a scripting programming language (like perl or python)
[06:02] <_jason> ablm: you know dapper is still in development?
[06:02] <diavoloS> how can i get write permission on a specifyed hdd ?
[06:02] <Seveas> peck_, edit /etc/bash.bashrc /etc/profile /etc/gdm/gdm.conf and maybe more
[06:02] <_jason> diavoloS: what filesystem?
[06:02] <NeverDream> Lua is teh best scripting languae
[06:02] <Seveas> (in dapper this madness is reduced to having a path defined only in /etc/environment)
[06:02] <ablm> yes
[06:02] <ablm> i know.. :)
[06:02] <Seveas> !dapper
[06:02] <ubotu> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion :)

[06:03] <Seveas> ablm --^
[06:03] <peck_> Seveas, oh... how could I compile it again forcing installation to /usr/bin/ruby then? might be easier
[06:03] <rmetz> i just installed ubuntu, does any1 know of a good linux tutorial?
[06:03] <ablm> tks :)
[06:03] <Seveas> peck_, you really don't want to do that, you'll overwrite files from Ubuntu packages...
[06:03] <_jason> ubotu: tell rmetz about rute
[06:03] <diavoloS> _jason i want to get write permission on my hard disk what can i do ? now i only have read and execute
[06:03] <_jason> diavoloS: what filesystem does it use?  ntfs, vfat, ext3?
[06:03] <peck_> Seveas, why's that bad? i want 1.8.4 not 1.8.3
[06:03] <sinstari> How old hardware does ubuntu support? I have an amd k6 333 MHz... is that too old?
[06:04] <Seveas> peck_, because you can totally mess things up with it
[06:04] <diavoloS> fat32
[06:04] <venox> sinstari: no, I have a pentium 2 300mhz and everything works fine
[06:04] <shutdown> _jason, hello... I am in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:04] <venox> sinstari: what's your hardware?
[06:04] <_jason> ubotu: tell diavoloS about vfat
[06:04] <Seveas> but anyway: at your own risk: ./configure --prefix=/usr
[06:04] <_jason> diavoloS: pay attention to the table about permissions in the middle of the wiki page ubotu sent you
[06:04] <peck_> Seveas, thx :))
[06:04] <flisol> ggft
[06:04] <CryoTox> The little square thing in the bottom left hand corner.. Its like green, well I accidently removed it, how do I get it back?
[06:04] <robertj> is there any standard that is emerging as a successor to md5?
[06:05] <venox> sinstari: I mean, works fine but a bit slow... if you want speed you'll have to get rid of gnome and maybe firefox. they're too slow here on my box, I use xfce4 and epiphany
[06:05] <sinstari> Actually, I dont know what MB I have, but it has and AMD k6 333 Mhz. My Hdd is an Maxtor 6.7 GB IDE 100
[06:05] <venox> epiphany boots a bit slower than firefox, but it runs damn faster ;)
[06:05] <Eleaf> I can't seem to get jack to work!  Anybody want to help?
[06:05] <venox> hmm
[06:05] <venox> I have 60gb and 384mb ram...
[06:05] <venox> you need at least 128mb ram I think
[06:05] <Seveas> Eleaf, kick jacks ass and he'll work ;)
[06:05] <sinstari> the problem is that I cant even install ubuntu
[06:05] <Eleaf> Seveas, lol.  I was able to get this to work before.
[06:05] <sinstari> I does not accept my partitions
[06:06] <Eleaf> Currently the problem is "cannot load driver module alsa"
[06:06] <Seveas> Eleaf, dapper or breezy?
[06:06] <Eleaf> dapper.
[06:06] <CryoTox> Anyone know how to add it back?
[06:06] <Eleaf> I had this same problem in breezy though.
[06:06] <Seveas> jack is not recommended on dapper (neither on breezy, but dappers soundsystem is much less fucked up than breezys)
[06:06] <venox> sinstari: hmm, I cleaned up my partition table before installing ubuntu
[06:06] <venox> I'm using my p2 300mhz as file server in my network :P
[06:06] <Eleaf> Seveas, well, what should I do?  considering all the audio apps I use rely on jack..
[06:07] <patrick52222> right im at college and i have to do some work in microsoft access is there away ro get Access on ubuntu dapper drake
[06:07] <sinstari> How can you do that? using some other OS like slackware and just delete all partitions?
[06:07] <Seveas> Eleaf, hrmm... I guess you need to find help with someone else. Jack and I have quite a hate-hate relationship
[06:07] <AndyA> OK.... I've installed Ubuntu 5.10 amd64 and now have a greeter application crashing error. Can anyone help me?
[06:07] <Eleaf> hujmm
[06:07] <venox> patrick52222: wine? cedega? do you really need microsoft access? openoffice base can't do the job?
[06:08] <Eleaf> Seveas, it loads up the oss module fine.  How do I get it to use the module alsa if it can't find it?
[06:08] <Seveas> wish I knew
[06:08] <diavoloS> hmm
[06:08] <venox> sinstari: I don't use another OS hehe
[06:08] <venox> well, but you can resize your slackware partitions
[06:08] <Alexi5> hello
[06:08] <Eleaf> Seveas, I put alsa in /etc/modules
[06:09] <venox> and create some new partitions on the remaining space
[06:09] <patrick52222> yes i have to use microsoft as i have to do some work at home and then take it in to college to complete, i like open office better

[06:17] <m0s|> ahh..ok, thanks for the help :)
[06:18] <_jason> diavoloS: you already have the drives in your fstab.  What you want to do is read the wiki page (specifically the table about permissions) and edit your fstab accordingly

[06:21] <bobbyd_> m0s|, I just searched on the wiki for nvidia and it was the first link :)
[06:22] <blueOrange> NigelS: ok great, that helps, thxs.
[06:22] <ASTX813> Morning, gang.  Can anyone help me figure out why I can't get nVidia graphics to play nice?
[06:23] <m0s|> bobbyd_,  haha, okey ;D
[06:23] <bobbyd_> does anyone here have a software raid array that stops correctly when then do "mdadm -sstop /dev/md0" ?
[06:24] <bobbyd_> I'm wondering if it's a general problem...
[06:24] <ASTX813> Or my wireless, but really, I'm more interested in getting glx working
[06:24] <bobbyd_> ASTX813, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia?highlight=%28nvidia%29
[06:24] <Enthusiast78> which package installs the fancy X11 cursor?
[06:24] <simpo> can i define any module argumnets in /etc/modules ?
[06:24] <ASTX813> bobbyd_, followed that step by step last night
[06:24] <bobbyd_> ASTX813, what's the problem?
[06:25] <ASTX813> Lemme find you the error in the log...
[06:25] <sebastian> I have been trying and trying to get my .vmx file to stay as a .vmx file, but when I open it in VMware player or click on it in Gnome/KDE.  it turns intoo  a a.txt  file .
[06:25] <bobbyd_> simpo, no, they go somewhere else, don't remember where though...
[06:25] <blueOrange> NigelS: is there something else i need to do to install the code? it does seem to have worked i got "setting up make"
[06:26] <sebastian> I have been trying and trying to get my .vmx file to stay as a .vmx file, but when I open it in VMware player or click on it in Gnome/KDE.  It turns into a .txt file.
[06:26] <phildini> hi. can anyone point me in the way of a good tutorial for setting up a secure ftp server on ubuntu? either that or can someone describe how to do it?
[06:26] <ron_> error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.4/config/Makefile (No such file or directory)
[06:26] <ron_> what do i need?
[06:27] <ron_> :/
[06:27] <Jimmey__> phildini, I'll talk you through..
[06:27] <Jimmey__> P.M. me.
[06:27] <sebastian> I have been trying and trying to get my .vmx file to stay as a .vmx file, but when I open click on it in Gnome/KDE.  It turns into a .txt file.  Also in VMware player it is a .txt file.
[06:27] <ASTX813> bobbyd_, OK, I no longer have that log because I tried different things after that way failed. but synaptic installed everything fine, nvidia-glx-config enable ran, but nothing happened when I restarted X
[06:27] <NigelS> blueOrange: a "normal" series of instructions to build a program would be to run a configure script with ./configure from the same dir ( that's not essential but quite useful for some projects so they include one) then to run "make" just on its own.  Then optionally to install the compiled binaries into the system tree with make install
[06:27] <bluesign> i have an issue with my video card, OpenGL renderer string says "Mesa DRI Intel(R) 852GM/855GM 20050225", i heard that mesa is software acceleration, is it true?
[06:27] <thoffmeyer> are the forums down?
[06:27] <bobbyd_> phildini, I think it comes as pasrt of openssh, it's called sftp, if you really mean secure ftp, if you just mean, set up and ftp site and secure it, then just look at the various ftp packages, and check you don' thave any ports open you don't need :)
[06:28] <Jimmey__> bluesign, download .rpm drivers from the Intel website, and use alien to convert them to .deb.
[06:28] <Plitskin> hi help please...
[06:28] <bluesign> Jimmey__: thanks a lot
[06:28] <Plitskin> how come that when I open a file I can't edit it?
[06:28] <ASTX813> Plitskin, be more specific
[06:28] <Plitskin> like...
[06:28] <Jimmey__> bluesign, I think I have the .deb here, now
[06:28] <Jimmey__> Are you using a laptop?
[06:28] <xxenon> is there a way to lower the frequency of my athlon (old 1200+) ?
[06:28] <Plitskin> vi grub.lst
[06:28] <Plitskin> I can view the content
[06:29] <void^> xxenon: bios or jumpers
[06:29] <bobbyd_> ASTX813, you need to put /var/log/Xorg.0.log somewhere I can look at it
[06:29] <m0s|> bobbyd_, Codega costs $$$ :/
[06:29] <Plitskin> but I can't edit anything...
[06:29] <ASTX813> Plitskin, try sudo vi grub.lst
[06:29] <NigelS> blueOrange: but in any event read the "INSTALL" file which is usually in the root dir of the source code by convention and that should tell you what steps it needs; also there might be specific make "targets" for this program
[06:29] <Plitskin> ok thanks I'll try that
[06:29] <ASTX813> Plitskin, I'm assuming you know how to use vi
[06:29] <ron_> error: invalid Python installation: unable to open /usr/lib/python2.4/config/Makefile (No such file or directory) <--- ??? plz
[06:29] <bobbyd_> m0s|, it's pretty cheap, only a few pounds. Also, plain wine runs a lot of games now
[06:29] <bobbyd_> m0s|, its only about $4 a month...
[06:29] <ASTX813> Plitskin, if you're not familiar with vi, it has a learning curve.  Try pico or some other editor.
[06:29] <m0s|> bobbyd_,  yeah, but i dont got any $$ s i have to go with Wine :p
[06:30] <xxenon> void^ - well..it's a laptop ...
[06:30] <bobbyd_> m0s|, get a job!
[06:30] <m0s|> bobbyd_,  haha, yeah, everyone tells me  ;)
[06:30] <bobbyd_> Plitskin, use nano :)
[06:30] <NigelS> iirc vanilla wine will run WoW now - though not 100% on that; there are guides out there to follow for it
[06:30] <ASTX813> bobbyd_, that log is gone, but gimme a few to redo the steps and i'll have it for ya
[06:30] <bobbyd_> m0s|, get a job doing somethign you like :)
[06:30] <bobbyd_> ASTX813, k
[06:30] <sebastian> you can install Windows inside LInux using the free VMware player!
[06:31] <void^> xxenon: heh.. i don't think the older athlons have frequency scaling :/
[06:31] <bobbyd_> NigelS, I just cba with it, I'd much rather just plug and play with cedega ;)
[06:31] <Elsan_> Is there any danger to uprading to Dapper? I know some people who did it and it beautifully but I'm still wondering...
[06:31] <sebastian> I have been trying and trying to get my .vmx file to stay as a .vmx file, but when I open click on it in Gnome/KDE.  It turns into a .txt file.  Also in VMware player it is a .txt file.
[06:31] <bobbyd_> Elsan_, yes, my sound stopped working and it's difficult to go back...
[06:31] <bobbyd_> Elsan_, it's 3 months off being finished...
[06:31] <bluesign> Jimmey__: it seems to be source rpm ? or am i mistaken?
[06:32] <blueOrange> NigelS: thxs, i know this stuff is basic, but i am just figuring it out. ok so i hadnt done the config thing, there is no install file, just a readme.  it looks to me like the last step is "make install" but i still dont seem to have the command at my disposal.
[06:32] <bobbyd_> sebastian, stop pasting the same thing over and over. What your pasting doesn't even make sense
[06:32] <Plitskin> ASTX813 - Not really :)
[06:32] <AndyA> here goes nothing. have anyone had Greeter application error on Ubuntu 5.10 amd64?
[06:32] <Jimmey__> bluesign, download the .rpm, and then, in the terminal, install alien: 'sudo apt-get install alien'
[06:32] <bobbyd_> sebastian, are you asking a question?
[06:32] <sebastian> yep
[06:32] <Elsan_> bobbyd_: Ok, it's that someone I know updated it and now he has wireless support and it just seems to work much better. And Kubuntu Breezy has some bugs on my system
[06:32] <NigelS> bobbyd_: hmm, cedega is not always as plug and play as it should be; quite often it's play - oh dear the game's been patched, time for another work around so go and edit that text file to avoid the nasty memory issue etc :)
[06:32] <bluesign> Jimmey__: yeah I converted it into deb
[06:33] <sebastian> for VMware player I need my .vmx file, but when I try and save the .vmx file.  it turns into a .txt file
[06:33] <bobbyd_> Elsan_, kubuntu dapper is great, but my sound doesn't work :)
[06:33] <Jimmey__> bluesign, in that case, just dpkg the deb
[06:33] <Plitskin> I didn't think that just a text editor could have such a learning curve...?
[06:33] <iocaste> i'm having sound problems as well
[06:33] <bluesign> Jimmey__: it extracted a tar.gz to /usr/X11R6/dripkg
[06:33] <NigelS> bobbyd_: I also think for some supported titles like BF2 etc, it's a little rich to say they work when most servers are unavailable given that they require anti-cheating software that does not work yet
[06:33] <Elsan_> boddyd_: What's really new with Kubuntu Dapper? I already have KDE 3.51 and all...
[06:33] <bobbyd_> NigelS, yeah, but that's just the nature of things being patched, at least it works for most of the stuff most of the time
[06:33] <iocaste> been trying to find a solution for weeks :(
[06:33] <bobbyd_> NigelS, yes, that's poor
[06:33] <Plitskin> anyway... With Grub, which should I change so I could make windows my default os to load?
[06:33] <LoCusF> !firefox1.5
[06:33] <ubotu> You can use firefox 1.5 by following this wiki page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FirefoxNewVersion
[06:33] <Jimmey__> bluesign, give me a minute..
[06:34] <B_166-ER-X> how come if i have deleted a folder of mine i stored on my / partition,   the 'hd space left' didnt change ?
[06:34] <bluesign> Jimmey__: thanks a lot
[06:34] <bobbyd_> NigelS, I'd prefer native versions, but I know that's very difficult sometimes
[06:34] <NigelS> bobbyd_: I accept that it's part of the chasing game we'll have to play but still, it's not 100% plug and play all the time, it can get messy as any subscriber will tell you :)
[06:34] <Plitskin> there's a groot thing there but it's commented...
[06:34] <sebastian> to crate the .vmx file the stuff is put in a text editor.  and then saved as a .vmx file.  ,but for me they are just staying as a .txt file it seems.
[06:34] <NigelS> bobbyd_: yeah, only the idealists and there are few of them seem to do it now
[06:34] <bobbyd_> NigelS, yes, true, but it is PnP for Wow :)
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> Plitskin,  Plitskin  edit the menu.lst - it has a 'default' - grub starts counting at 0, so if yoiur windows was the 4th entry.. it would be default 3
[06:35] <bobbyd_> NigelS, I was trying onthe game I'm working on, but it seems it's becoming impossible for some complex reasons
[06:35] <thinkloop> I setup exim4 for my mail servr. I am trying to send emails to the mail server from other accounts (gmail, hotmail) and i get this error
[06:35] <Dr_Willis> Plitskin,  or 'Default saved" and it will rember the last entry you selected.
[06:35] <thinkloop> PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550 relay not permitted
[06:35] <NigelS> bobbyd_: the example I gave was for WoW :) and that memory issue that prevented right clicking with the mouse was there for a good few months - the lastest cedega version has new mem management so avoids it
[06:35] <fiendskull9> is it possivle to ghost image my linux partition, to restore whenh i want to?
[06:35] <mikael_> Hi, all my USB devices just disappeared after an upgrade? (my logitech wireless keyboard and mouse mostly) does anybody know if that might be because some modules weren't loaded-- I am running 2.6.15-19-amd64-k8
[06:35] <Frogzoo> B_166-ER-X: the file space won't be freed until all procs using those files release their file handles
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> fiendskull9,  'mond0/mindi' makes that fairly easy.
[06:36] <Dr_Willis> fiendskull9,  oops "Mondo" and "Mindi"
[06:36] <bobbyd_> NigelS, I've only used the latest version. I think they should say that it works with a specific version, and make sure they're not lying :)
[06:36] <Jimmey__> bluesign, I forgot how to check if the drivers worked..
[06:36] <Jimmey__> =-(
[06:36] <blueOrange> i know this is really basic, but i could use additional assistance if anyone is willing
[06:36] <fweemgar> HEY
[06:36] <Frogzoo> Jimmey__: look for /var/log/messages where the driver attaches to the hardware
[06:37] <fweemgar> Can anyone help me with a screen resolution problem?
[06:37] <Jimmey__> bluesign, what Frogzoo said
[06:37] <bluesign> Jimmey__: hmm thanks
[06:37] <bobbyd_> fweemgar, just ask the question
[06:37] <Frogzoo> !tell fweemgar about res
[06:37] <NigelS> blueOrange: when you say the make install command is not at your disposal - how so? with make installed now, there should be an "install" target inside the makefile which tells it where to put stuff; have you followed the steps before then though?
[06:37] <bobbyd_> Jimmey__, lsusb too
[06:37] <fweemgar> Oh,  all right
[06:37] <tjansson> fweemgar: look in the file xorg.conf in /etc/X11
[06:37] <AndyA> Greeter Application problem people... Ubuntu 5.10 amd64
[06:37] <taneli> I am just installing xorg-driver-fglrx for ATI Radeon X300 card and now it asks cards bus identifier...what should i put there...my card is at PCI-Express
[06:38] <NigelS> bobbyd_: heh yeah; in the few years I've subscribed I think the punkbuster issue is the only one to seriously annoy me
[06:38] <Plitskin> hmmm... this is gonna take a while to get used to...
[06:38] <bobbyd_> NigelS, yes, it's pretty stupid.
[06:38] <Sebischn> !bootlog
[06:38] <ubotu> Sebischn: I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[06:38] <taneli> can someone help ? :)
[06:38] <fweemgar> Well, I am running umbuntu on a toshiba portege 7020CT.  The video adapter is a neomagic magicmedia 256
[06:38] <blueOrange> NigelS: i thought i went through all the steps but when i call the pgram, it says that command is not available.
[06:38] <wezzer> so is dapper going to be late?
[06:38] <sfar> whats the dapper channel?
[06:38] <Frogzoo> !helpme
[06:38] <ubotu> If you do not actually ask a question, we can not actually help you.
[06:38] <fweemgar> The only resolution I can set the OS to is 640x480
[06:38] <NigelS> bobbyd_: I started the voting on PB months and months back - at the time I was annoyed about BF one!
[06:39] <Dr_Willis> sfar,  read the topic? :P
[06:39] <Jimmey__> sfar, #ubuntu+1
[06:39] <bobbyd_> NigelS, The game I'm working on is based on Unrel Engine 3, so technically we should be able to doa linux version, but we're using some closed source win32 libs which could scupper that idea
[06:39] <whyami> sfar: dapper is #ubuntu+1
[06:39] <fweemgar> And on winXP I set it to 1024x800
[06:39] <tjansson> I there any gnome native burner apps similar to k3b - the buildin nautilus is miserable.
[06:39] <AndyA> I'm asking a question... greeter application error
[06:39] <NigelS> bobbyd_: but they never acknowledged it as an issue; even with it being towards the top of the voting ranks for months upon end
[06:39] <Frogzoo> tjansson: would you believe....k3b ?
[06:39] <kergoth> anyone using cedega under dapper? entire box hangs when trying to run world of warcraft under it :(
[06:39] <bobbyd_> NigelS, it's poor
[06:39] <bobbyd_> NigelS, it's the only thing that's made me think of unsubscribing
[06:39] <sfar> thanks whyami :)
[06:40] <fweemgar> How do I run/use xorg?
[06:40] <thinkloop> anyone got exim4 setup?
[06:40] <AndyA> and I'm still not getting any hekp... Patience is a virtue
[06:40] <erez_> tjansson: gnomebaker
[06:40] <fiendskull9> yay
[06:40] <NigelS> bobbyd_: yeah same here - that same annoying advice in the changelogs saying that we should update it was starting to get to me :P
[06:40] <fiendskull9> my logitech cam works finally
[06:40] <deizi> how the hell you get bitcomet to work?
[06:40] <hengx_> anyone using wifi-radar?
[06:40] <tjansson> Frogzoo: :D - what im using now - but just thought that not all gnome was happy with that bulidin thing -Just converted after 4 years with KDE
[06:40] <ASTX813> WOW, bobbyd_ , I was WAY too tired last night and made a major retarded mistake!
[06:40] <Ribs> fweemgar: sudo dpkg-reconfigure something...
[06:40] <bobbyd_> fweemgar, you need to set up your monitor settings in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:40] <patrick52222> hello im having problems running limewire i have installed it and java to run but when i click limewire it doesnt run
[06:40] <iocaste> i've seen in multiple forums that if you're having problems with sound using the ALI 5451 chipset, you should disable 'Jack Sense' in Alsamixer, however there is no slider for 'Jack Sense' in alsa mixer. Can anyone help?
[06:40] <Ribs> just trying to remember what the 'something' part is
[06:40] <whyami> fweemgar: have you done dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[06:40] <bobbyd_> ASTX813, :)
[06:40] <blueOrange> AndyA: hang in there! somone will help u eventually ! :)
[06:40] <Ribs> I have the same issue on my tecra
[06:40] <fweemgar> no, I have no
[06:40] <NigelS> blueOrange: ok, are you sure that there wasn't an error along the way? what were the steps you took and what output did you get?
[06:40] <fweemgar> not*
[06:40] <fweemgar> I don't know how
[06:41] <Joetheodd> fweemgar: sudo dpkg-reconfigure server-xorg
[06:41] <fweemgar> I'm a total linux n00b
[06:41] <Ribs> fweemgar: Are you using Breezy?
[06:41] <fweemgar> yessir
[06:41] <bobbyd_> patrick52222, run it from a shell
[06:41] <fiendskull9> patrick52222, did you create the launcher yourself?
[06:41] <fweemgar> I run that in the command prompt?
[06:41] <Dj_RapRap> I tried to change my hostname in /etc/hosts, when i did it, i keep getting this error: "sudo: unable to lookup dhcppc1 via gethostbyname()
[06:41] <Dj_RapRap> " - no matter what i do, any suggesstions?
[06:41] <AndyA> I'll die eventually, too.
[06:41] <ASTX813> bobbyd_, I have ATI Radeon!  Last night someone with my same laptop put me on this path, but I guess he has a different configuration than I do
[06:41] <Joetheodd> fweemgar: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (spelling correction)
[06:41] <patrick52222> how do i run it from shell
[06:41] <bobbyd_> ASTX813, LOL
[06:41] <bobbyd_> patrick52222, open a shell, type the name of the program (probably limewire)
[06:41] <patrick52222> i used the launcher from applications--->internet
[06:42] <bobbyd_> patrick52222, by the way, azureus is good and works out of the box
[06:42] <protoloco> I have a FTP server that i can just upload/download files in my USER directory, hhow can i tell VSFTPD that i wanna upload files in root apache page /var/www/html/ , in there i wanna upload files
[06:42] <ASTX813> I'm so pissed at myself.  People in here were telling me to go to bed and I refused cuz I thought for sure I'd get it
[06:42] <blueOrange> NigelS: I did: "sudo apt-get install make" resulted in: "
[06:42] <blueOrange> opops didnt mean to push <return> :)
[06:42] <Dj_RapRap> I tried to change my hostname in /etc/hosts, when i did it, i keep getting this error: "sudo: unable to lookup dhcppc1 via gethostbyname()" - no matter what i do, any suggesstions ?
[06:42] <iocaste> how do i disable 'Jack Sense' in sound config?
[06:42] <NigelS> I love azuereus - such clever data visualisation displays - I like the swarm view :)
[06:42] <Jimmey__> protoloco, you can tell Apache to set the DocumentRoot to /home/ftp, perhaps
[06:42] <_tcc> What do I need to dual boot windows and linux?
[06:42] <gimmulf> How do i get nvidia-xconfig  ?
[06:43] <patrick52222> where do i get azureus  from
[06:43] <gimmulf> i need to run that
[06:43] <Jimmey__> _tcc, an ubuntu install CD.
[06:43] <Jimmey__> _tcc, and a Windows installation.
[06:43] <_tcc> No crap lol.
[06:43] <_tcc> But how?
[06:43] <NigelS> limewire isn't a BT client though is it?
[06:43] <bobbyd_> NigelS, oh. :)
[06:43] <NigelS> :)
[06:43] <Frogzoo> _tcc: typically grub - but lilo can handle this, perhaps not as intuitively
[06:43] <patrick52222> no it isnt thats why i want limewire
[06:43] <bobbyd_> patrick52222, limewire is evil :)
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> !azureus
[06:43] <ubotu> somebody said azureus was a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AzureusHowTo
[06:43] <Jimmey__> _tcc, the install procedure asks if you want a dual boot. You got to press enter a few times, and tell it how many GBs Ubuntu can have.
[06:43] <Plitskin> there's no save button or ctrl + s in vi?
[06:43] <bobbyd_> patrick52222, but you should try to run it from a sheel to see where it goes wrong
[06:44] <gimmulf> Where do i get nvidia-xconfig  ?
[06:44] <gimmulf> need to configure xorg
[06:44] <bobbyd_> Plitskin, don't use VI, it's crazy, use nano
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> Plitskin,  spend an hr and read a vi tutotial or 2   'vimtutor' is an itneractive one.
[06:44] <Frogzoo> Plitskin: esc : wq
[06:44] <_tcc> Jimmey__, install procedure?
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> Plitskin,  learning vi is worth the hassle. :P
[06:44] <patrick52222> in the shell do i just put limewire and enter
[06:44] <Kuyaedz> can anyone tell me the app (gnome) responsible for keyboard recognition including hardware keys (volume, etc)
[06:44] <blueOrange> NigelS: I did: "sudo apt-get install make" resulted in: "reading packages lists...done    building dependency tree . .. done new packages insatlled: make" . . . . . "setting up make"
[06:44] <bobbyd_> Plitskin, learning VI isnt' worth the hassle ;)
[06:44] <Plitskin> ok guys, thanks
[06:44] <_tcc> I have 200 Gigs
[06:44] <NigelS> blueOrange: ok, so you installed make - what next?
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> bobbyd_,  Blasphmy!
[06:44] <Frogzoo> bobbyd_: LIES!!
[06:45] <_tcc> So I will allocate like 100 to ubuntu and 100 to winXp.
[06:45] <bobbyd_> Dr_Willis, oh come on, it's nonsense
[06:45] <_tcc> But....I am on ubuntu right now...so how can I install windows?
[06:45] <Frogzoo> !start an editor war
[06:45] <ubotu> kate is a much better editor than emacs.
[06:45] <Jimmey__> _tcc I've got 40.  I can do things with it faster then any other editor ive tried.. and its the defacto tool on minimal rescue/live cd's so when the chips are down.. odds are you will need to know the basics of vi.
[06:46] <NigelS> blueOrange: two separate words "make install" but quite often there's more to be done first; often "make" on its own
[06:46] <ssam> there are vi cheat sheets on the net, if you print out one of those then vim is easy(ish)
[06:46] <AndyA> amd64 -> ubuntu 5.10 -> Greeter application crashing error....
[06:46] <patrick52222> how do i run limewire in a shell
[06:46] <blueOrange> NigelS: ps i never did a .configure as that file is not listed in the directory.
[06:46] <bobbyd_> Dr_Willis, I've been using linux for 7 years and I've never needed to know vi
[06:46] <gimmulf> Where do i get nvidia-xconfig  ?
[06:46] <bobbyd_> Dr_Willis, oh yeah, and it smells of wee :)
[06:46] <bobbyd_> Dr_Willis, have you tried scite? or slickedit?
[06:47] <NigelS> Stallman doesn't know how to use vi I think :)
[06:47] <NigelS> but then he wouldn't
[06:47] <ssam> the trouble with nano is that i still do :wq instinctivly and it gets left in the file
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> bobbyd_,  you are proberly actually using Linspire. and ive been using Linux for 30 years!
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> :P
[06:47] <Dr_Willis> ssam,  :P been there... done that.
[06:47] <eggzeck> vi > nano
[06:47] <patrick52222> how do i run limewire in a shell
[06:47] <bobbyd_> Dr_Willis, ahh, so you've been using it longer, therefore you're right! heh
[06:47] <NigelS> patrick52222: you type the name of the program, then press enter
[06:48] <AndyA> gimmulf I probably know less than you, but since no one is paying attention... You get it in console, right?
[06:48] <Dr_Willis> bobbyd_,  that was your logic as well.. Plus everyone knows that real men use sed!
[06:48] <fallen1> has anyone had dapper start crashing at xwin startup
[06:48] <bobbyd_> Dr_Willis, and, um linux hasn't been around 30 years, but I've been using it for 50!
[06:48] <ssam> anyway real men take the case off there hard disk and edit files with a magnet
[06:48] <gimmulf> AndyA: ?
[06:48] <bobbyd_> Dr_Willis, no, my logic was that vi smells of weewee
[06:48] <loco_gr> Hello
[06:48] <arkanis> hi
[06:48] <ASTX813> fallen1, everyone's had that at some point i think.  check /var/log/Xorg.0.log for errors (EE)
[06:49] <michaelb> Hey there -- I have a question: I'm having trouble reformatting a hard disk using gnome's "disks" gui tool.
[06:49] <Dr_Willis> bobbyd_,  i think its a "PEKAC" problem. :P
[06:49] <sudomania4> are the ubuntu forums down?
[06:49] <Dr_Willis> oops PEBKAC...
[06:49] <NigelS> :P
[06:49] <ssam> sudomania4, i think so
[06:49] <bobbyd_> Dr_Willis, I think it's a 1D10T problem!
[06:49] <ASTX813> sudomania4, i think so, i'm out too
[06:49] <ssam> michaelb, try gparted
[06:49] <loco_gr> I try to access the ubuntuforum.com and it goes really slow
[06:49] <bobbyd_> Dr_Willis, and you missed a "B" in pebkac
[06:49] <arkanis> I'am new to linux and I wanted to install ubuntu, but everytime I try it fails at the base install
[06:49] <sudomania4> yeah, why are they down?
[06:49] <bobbyd_> arkanis, what does it say?
[06:50] <fallen1> has anyone had dapper start crashing at xwin startup
[06:50] <Frogzoo> !tell arkanis about fixinstall
[06:50] <ssam> sudomania4, no the forum seems to be back now
[06:50] <_jason> !dapper
[06:50] <ubotu> Dapper Drake will be the next release of Ubuntu - due June 1 (see: http://tinyurl.com/qyrkq). Join channel #ubuntu+1 for discussion :)
[06:50] <Dr_Willis> fallen1,  not lately.
[06:50] <arkanis> It says that I should check the bootstrap something
[06:50] <loco_gr> sudomania4, are you sure ??
[06:50] <fweemgar> How do I configure my neomagic magicmedia 256 to run at a higher resolution (than 640x480)?  I can't get anywhere with the screen resolution selector.
[06:50] <Johannesen> do I need to bring my wireless lan up in /etc/network/interfaces when I use wifi-radar and wpa_supplicant?
[06:50] <arkanis> but I can't find a file with that name
[06:50] <fallen1> did it in the past
[06:50] <AndyA> I'm willing to sell half of my brain for an advice on solving the Greeter application error on Ubuntu 5.10 amd64.
[06:50] <NigelS> fallen1: do you get kicked back to gdm login screen or the X server crashes completely?
[06:50] <bobbyd_> arkanis, what's machine is it? CPU memory HD?
[06:50] <fallen1> complete
[06:51] <ssam> arkanis, there could be a problem with the install cd
[06:51] <MetaMorfoziS> i'm installed opera on my notebook
[06:51] <arkanis> very old: 500mhz, 1Gbyte RAM, 8Gbyte HD
[06:51] <fallen1> it dies when starting gdm
[06:51] <sudomania4> there back up
[06:51] <NigelS> fallen1: read through the log - it's not crashin most probs it's just not succeeeding in starting
[06:51] <MetaMorfoziS> but it doesn't start
[06:51] <ssam> AndyA, did you try the forum?
[06:51] <arkanis> Dell Latitude
[06:51] <MetaMorfoziS> i'm downlaoded the deb form opera.com
[06:51] <fweemgar> How do I configure my neomagic magicmedia 256 to run at a higher resolution (than 640x480)?  I can't get anywhere with the screen resolution selector.
[06:51] <MetaMorfoziS> but when istart it it said segment error
[06:51] <bobbyd_> arkanis, does the live CD work? or the dapper one?
[06:51] <fallen1> machine locks solid
[06:51] <fweemgar> ...and xorg didn't help, either
[06:51] <MetaMorfoziS> anybody help me please
[06:51] <arkanis> live cd?
[06:52] <ssam> !fixres
[06:52] <ubotu> Please read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[06:52] <fweemgar> okay
[06:52] <MetaMorfoziS> !opera
[06:52] <ubotu> opera is, like, not in the Ubuntu repositories, but you can always download the latest Opera .deb package from http://www.opera.com/download/ and then see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/OperaBrowser
[06:52] <bobbyd_> fweemgar, set the right numbers for the refresh rate of your monitor in xorg.conf
[06:52] <arkanis> I just have the install cd
[06:52] <NigelS> fallen1: weird; not happening on mine with latest stuff (nvidia drivers, xgl etc)

[06:53] <ubotu> Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, ASTX813

[06:54] <j2daosh> hey... question about computer hardware... anyone in here savvy?
[06:54] <Cyorxamp> Hey folks..... I have -no- ttyUSB in /dev     -  I need them.. badly.. lsusb can see the fact I have 5 usb ports - how can I get my ttyUSB's ?!!?
[06:55] <j2daosh> Cyorxamp, what do you need a ttyusb for?
[06:55] <Cyorxamp> j2daosh, USB devices - what do you think
[06:56] <ASTX813> Forums back up, maybe
[06:56] <Dr_Willis> wow.. such a clear and percice answer.. :P
[06:56] <arkanis> bobbyd_ what can I do, when the life cd works?
[06:56] <mattwestm> how do I get jsp support on apache?
[06:56] <j2daosh> lol dr
[06:56] <arkanis> I still have no clue what the problem is
[06:56] <patrick52222> is it posible to install KDE on ubuntu dapper drake and still be able to use the gnome desktop
[06:56] <Cyorxamp> j2daosh: it's a program called gnokii that can communicate with a nokia phone over USB.
[06:56] <NickGarvey> !kde
[06:56] <ubotu> kde is, like, A powerful, free desktop environment for UNIX. IRC: #kubuntu #kde ; install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop ; ISOs: http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/breezy/
[06:56] <j2daosh> oh ok... now i gotcha
[06:56] <j2daosh> i was like... plug it in...
[06:57] <Dr_Willis> patrick52222,  yes. trivially easy.
[06:57] <NickGarvey> yeah, I have 3 envis
[06:57] <AndyA> it just came to me..... i'll never get an answer here.. Bye
[06:57] <patrick52222> Dr_willis: could you give me a link or tell me how to
[06:57] <dg> does anyone know how to get automounting of usb devices working? I installed via debootstrap so I'm probably missing some package/configuration
[06:58] <Dr_Willis> patrick52222,  check the kubuntu homepage  :) you install them all with apt-get and the login screen has a menu to pick what to use.
[06:58] <j2daosh> ok well if it is anything like my jump drive i have connected, or my samsung t809, just plugging it in should sufice
[06:58] <crimsun> dg: for a gnome environment?
[06:58] <dg> i'm using kde..
[06:58] <BlueOrange> gideon@G-ubuntu:~/atitvout$ make
[06:58] <BlueOrange> cc -Wall -O2 -g -DVERSION=\"0.4\" -I./lrmi-0.6   -c -o atitvout.o atitvout.c
[06:58] <BlueOrange> make: cc: Command not found
[06:58] <BlueOrange> make: *** [atitvout.o]  Error 127
[06:58] <ruzgar> hello how can i unmount and remount all of my drives without restarting my pc?
[06:58] <patrick52222> ok thanks will try
[06:58] <j2daosh> assuming ur ubuntu is setup default it should detect and mount automagically
[06:58] <crimsun> dg: installing kubuntu-desktop will pull in everything necessary
[06:58] <NigelS> BlueOrange: you don't have a compiler :)
[06:59] <NigelS> BlueOrange: install gcc - though I think there's a build-essentials package or some such for getting a lot of stuff
[06:59] <dg> crimsun: I did, it pops up a dialog when the disk is plugged in but it doesn't successfully mount the disk
[06:59] <BlueOrange> NigelS: y not!? that sounds bad! is it not part of the default ubuntu install !?
[06:59] <tristanmike> BlueOrange, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[06:59] <patrick52222> can some one give me the link to the kubuntu website
[06:59] <j2daosh> BlueOrange, sudo apt-get install gcc;sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[07:00] <j2daosh> essential
[07:00] <Frogzoo> NigelS: BlueOrange 'build-essential'
[07:00] <tristanmike> BlueOrange, no, not every one needs to or wants to compile, so no real need to put on cd
[07:00] <sebastian> I got a .vmx file, but instead of it being a .vmx file it is a .txt file.  anyone know how I can solve this problem?
[07:00] <BlueOrange> ah, thxs all, working on it . . .
[07:00] <NigelS> BlueOrange: no it isn't part of the default install. Tbh I think if you don't recognise an error saying there's no compiler the reasoning is that you prob don't want a compiler :)
[07:00] <BlueOrange> lol
[07:00] <tristanmike> patrick52222, http://www.kubuntu.org/
[07:00] <BlueOrange> but its the only way to install this additional code, right ?
[07:01] <kergoth> gah, i wish fglrx would stop panicing
[07:01] <NigelS> BlueOrange: I don't know I don't use an ATI card and haven't had this problem
[07:01] <_tcc> Can someone help me in allocating space for winXP?
[07:01] <Frogzoo> kergoth: do you know/use the _seveas repo fglrx?
[07:01] <Jimmey__> _tcc, ?
[07:01] <NigelS> _tcc: sure, I have a black sack here somewhere
[07:02] <kergoth> Frogzoo: dont know of it, what is it?
[07:02] <_tcc> I mean with qtparted or something.
[07:02] <Frogzoo> !seveas
[07:02] <ubotu> Seveas has a semi-popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[07:02] <_tcc> I don't want to do anything stupid.
[07:02] <thinkloop> if i want to .tar up a whole folder how would i do that?
[07:02] <deizi> what programs REALLY works on wine?
[07:02] <Frogzoo> kergoth: including the 8.22.5 fglrx
[07:02] <ruzgar> anyone help me?
[07:02] <_tcc> tar cvvf file.tar dir/
[07:03] <segphault_> I want to make my Nautilus default folder size 75% but have my desktop folder size be 100%... is there a way to set desktop folder size independently
[07:03] <ruzgar> is there a way to unmount and remount all drivers without restarting my pc?
[07:03] <BlueOrange> sudo apt-get install gcc worked. but sudo apt-get install build-essentials resulted: "sudo apt-get install build-essentials" .
[07:03] <No_ThAnKs> hello, i have the error message "unable to copy the users's X autorization file" when i try to open synaptic...Does anyone know what it is ? Many Thanks
[07:04] <NigelS> BlueOrange: in the singu;ar
[07:04] <tristanmike> BlueOrange, "build-essential"  no "s"
[07:04] <NigelS> singular*
[07:04] <Plitskin> oh God this could get very uncomfortable... :-(
[07:04] <mattwestm> how do I install support for jsp pages?
[07:04] <BlueOrange> (oops) resulted in "E: Couldn't find package build-essentials
[07:04] <BlueOrange> "
[07:04] <BlueOrange> ah
[07:04] <gimmulf> Where do i get nvidia-xconfig  ?
[07:05] <michaelb> ssam: Big thanks, man! I tried qtparted, with no luck, but gparted seemed to do the trick! Everything is working 100% smoothly now!
[07:05] <_tcc> Anyone?
[07:05] <segphault_> gimmulf: you need the nvidia-glx package
[07:05] <BlueOrange> ok great, thxs . . . progress . . .
[07:05] <_tcc> I need help in allocating space for a winXP install.
[07:05] <tristanmike> 15 gig
[07:06] <gimmulf> segphault_:  i have it
[07:06] <_tcc> I mean the actual process.
[07:06] <gimmulf> segphault_:  bash: nvidia-xconfiig: command not found
[07:06] <segphault_> gimmulf: it puts the utility in /usr/bin/nvidia-xconfig
[07:06] <NigelS> gimmulf: typo etc
[07:07] <NigelS> _tcc: well do you have a free partition? assuming my offer of a bin wasn't good enough
[07:07] <Yoric> Does anyone have a suggestion on how to upgrade to linux-image-2.6.15-19-686 without breaking my whole system ?
[07:07] <gimmulf> segphault_:  hmm i dont have it there just nvidia-settings
[07:07] <gimmulf> NigelS:  what?
[07:07] <tristanmike> _tcc, if you have windows, get something like partition magic, make some free space, install Ubuntu on said free space
[07:08] <NigelS> gimmulf: typo - i.e. a typographical error - you made one, you typed the command incorrectly
[07:08] <crimsun> Yoric: on a breezy system? You'd need the udev from dapper, too, and you'd need to remove hotplug.
[07:08] <iguanatech> good afternon everybody
[07:08] <_tcc> I have ubuntu installed.
[07:08] <crimsun> Yoric: in other words, it's much more reliable just to grab dapper flight 5 and dist-upgrade
[07:08] <_tcc> I want to just make a windows partition, I need help with that.
[07:08] <iguanatech> excuseme i cant read my diskete device
[07:08] <Yoric> crimsun, yes, this is a breezy system.
[07:08] <Yoric> crimsun, can you detail the process / point me to a howto ?
[07:09] <Frogzoo> !tell _tcc about windows
[07:09] <birdfish> I've installed apache2 webserver on my ubuntu server
[07:09] <birdfish> However, when I try to start it, I get an error
[07:09] <Yoric> sudo apt-get upgrade be sufficient ?
[07:09] <thinkloop> anyone ever get this error PERM_FAILURE: SMTP Error (state 9): 550 relay not permitted
[07:09] <_tcc> right
[07:09] <Yoric> that is, "would sudo apt-get upgrade be sufficient ?"
[07:09] <crimsun> Yoric: for dist-upgrading to dapper, or for pulling in those packages from dapper?
[07:09] <Frogzoo> !tell _tcc about mountwindows
[07:09] <Yoric> crimsun, well, to get a bootable system with these packages.
[07:09] <birdfish> (98)Address already in use: make_sock: could not bind to address [::] :80 no listening sockets available, shutting down.  Unable to open logs
[07:10] <Alexi5> it seems ubuntu is not very good with laptops
[07:10] <birdfish> Anyone know why I get this error?
[07:10] <_tcc> or games
[07:10] <_tcc> lol
[07:10] <Yoric> I don't know if have to dist-upgrade for that.
[07:10] <Frogzoo> birdfish: ps aux |grep http
[07:10] <birdfish> Frogzoo: thanks :)
[07:10] <crimsun> Yoric: you'd need to recompile udev from dapper on your breezy system, remove hotplug, and install the newer kernel from dapper
[07:10] <BlueOrange> NigelS: (all) please see my paste
[07:10] <Yoric> Alexi5, currently, I'm having trouble getting it to boot on my laptop.
[07:10] <NigelS> _tcc: I assume you're talking about games *written for* windows? :P

[07:11] <_tcc> No, I mean I want to dual boot.
[07:11] <_tcc> Windows and Ubuntu.
[07:11] <_tcc> I want to just add a partition to install on.
[07:12] <_tcc> Can someone help with that?
[07:12] <Yoric> crimsun, do you suggest dist-upgrading or recompiling udev from dapper ?
[07:12] <NigelS> gimmulf: did you type the command correctly this time?
[07:12] <crimsun> Yoric: dist-upgrading at this point.
[07:12] <Yoric> ok
[07:12] <NigelS> _tcc: so atm you don't have a free partition or an area of unpartitioned space?
[07:12] <gnomefreak> Yoric: dapper related questions please see #ubuntu+1
[07:12] <Yoric> gnomefreak, ok
[07:12] <_tcc> NigelS, no that is what I am trying to do.
[07:12] <ASTX813> Well that sucked
[07:12] <Blippe> _tcc, if you have the place the installer will partion the harddrive all by itself (after asking you)
[07:13] <birdfish> Frogzoo: grep returned no results.  I then tried to start apache2 again, but got the same error
[07:13] <gimmulf> NigelS:   sudo /usr/sbin/nvidia-glx-config   tells me to: Usage: /usr/sbin/nvidia-glx-config [enable|disable]  &  sudo /usr/sbin/nvidia-glx-config enable says: http://pastebin.com/621923
[07:13] <lafferpt> grep stands for what?
[07:13] <_tcc> Windows will make its own partition?
[07:13] <NigelS> _tcc: well the problem there is that I don't think there's a tool in gnome etc that lets you *resize* an ext/reiser partition.  partition magic might though
[07:14] <BlueOrange> NigelS: u see my paste ?
[07:14] <Frogzoo> birdfish: you've got something running on that port already, maybe apache?
[07:14] <NigelS> BlueOrange: no?
[07:14] <birdfish> Frogzoo: It is a clean install of both ubuntu-server and apache2
[07:15] <tristanmike> BlueOrange, on pastebin? you must paste the link here for us
[07:15] <Frogzoo> birdfish: telnet localhost 80
[07:15] <birdfish> Frogzoo: I have done nothing to either (except apt-get apache2 and try to start it)
[07:15] <BlueOrange> NigelS: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10765
[07:15] <Frogzoo> birdfish: or just point your browser at it...

[07:16] <ghanthar> hi everyone
[07:16] <_tcc> lets see...
[07:16] <ASTX813> Is there a way to get dpkg to only reconfigure one section of xorg?
[07:16] <NigelS> gimmulf: you were after the nvidia-config tool yes? I have the ubuntu nvidia packages and it's there
[07:16] <Cyorxamp> should pl2303 make a ttyUSB0 whatever usb 'thing' is plugged in?
[07:16] <birdfish> Frogzoo: I used "telnet localhost 80" on the server.  And I'm connected
[07:16] <NigelS> gimmulf: *nvidia-xconfig
[07:16] <ghanthar> is there anybody who could solve the keyboard prob on dapper
[07:17] <Frogzoo> birdfish: well try "GET /"
[07:17] <neighborlee> is it just my hardware combo giving it grief or has anyone else seen dapper livecd's installer not quite work yet ? (    wont format ext3 right and  gives errors as a result)
[07:17] <gimmulf> NigelS:  sudo: nvidia-xconfig: command not found
[07:17] <gnomefreak> ghanthar: dapper channel is #ubuntu+1 please use that for dapper related issue oh and i havent heard of a keyboard issue in dapper
[07:18] <birdfish> Frogzoo: actually, I just typed the ip of the server and :80.  It sent me to a directory where I clicked on "apache2-default" which sent me to the apache page.
[07:18] <arkanis> I'am a bit confused. I read that you can specify the vga (when you install) for example 792 for 1024x768
[07:18] <idefix> if I use "Save As" in some linux program, can I just type ./subdirectory/filename?
[07:18] <BlueOrange> NigelS: im afraid i need to go now :( just when we were getting somewhere !
[07:18] <arkanis> but I have only code 0 to 7 (0F00 t0 0100)
[07:18] <ghanthar> thanks gnomefreak and sorry and did not know that the dapper chan was different
[07:18] <gimmulf> NigelS:  and i have nvidia-settings, nvidia-kernel-common, nvidia-glx packages installed
[07:18] <Cyorxamp> should pl2303 make a ttyUSB0 whatever usb 'thing' is plugged in?
[07:18] <lafferpt> how do I install an english hash dictionary?
[07:19] <BlueOrange> NigelS: il will leave my window open, so if u get a change, please review my paste and give me any next step advice u see fit.  THANK YOU ALL! May the electron g-ds continue to smile upon you!
[07:19] <NickGarvey> idefix: I see no reason why not.. only one way to find out though eh?
[07:20] <idefix> NickGarvey, 'cause it doesn't work!
[07:20] <gimmulf> NigelS:  i only find /usr/sbin/nvidia-glx-config
[07:20] <NigelS> gimmulf: have you install nvidia-xconfig though?
[07:20] <idefix> error accessing 'file:///subdirectory/filename': File not found
[07:21] <gimmulf> NigelS: cant find it in synaptic
[07:21] <NickGarvey> I guess . refers to / then
[07:21] <idefix> NickGarvey... it works!!
[07:22] <luckyshot> i have a dlink usb network adapter.... how would ubuntu recognize it??
[07:22] <leif_> hey all, how do i add /usr/local/lib to my lib path ?+
[07:22] <kergoth> argh. fglrx needs to stop panicing when i run wow in cedega :(
[07:23] <gimmulf> NigelS:  really cant find it, been searching on nvidia in synaptic but it doesnt show up, also added like all respitorys
[07:23] <luckyshot> i have a dlink usb network adapter.... how would ubuntu recognize it??
[07:23] <NigelS> gimmulf: hmm, I think nvidia-xconfig was a recent addition by nvidia - the program is in dapper but not in breezy I think
[07:23] <NigelS> gimmulf: what do you need it to do?
[07:23] <gimmulf> NigelS:  i have nvidia-settings
[07:23] <Yoric> Well, actually, it turns out that my pcmcia oops appears even with a 386 kernel...
[07:24] <idefix> cool, the GAIM conversation timeout time is exactly 1:01 minute
[07:24] <gimmulf> NigelS:  i need to get an xorg.conf with twinview.. been trying for 5 hours :)
[07:24] <idefix> it occurs over and over again
[07:24] <NigelS> gimmulf: nvidia settings isn't about setting up the xserver though
[07:24] <NigelS> gimmulf: your best bet is not to use a program - just go and read the manual on the nvidia site and edit your xorg.conf file accordingly
[07:24] <zipper|> hmm, for some reason i have no trouble connecting to freenode from mirc on my windows box, but my linux box with xchat-gnome simply cannot connect? "connection timed out" every time
[07:24] <gimmulf> realised that, really would like that nvidia-xconfig tool
[07:24] <gimmulf> NigelS:  thats what i've tried
[07:25] <lafferpt> does anyone got a portuguese servers sources.list?
[07:26] <NigelS> gimmulf: really? you've followed the instructions and it won't work?  you know you can just download that program from the nvidia site don't you?
[07:26] <NigelS> gimmulf: or install your own drivers even if you so wish
[07:27] <whyami> when I run vlc from the command line, all this garbage prints in the terminal window. Why is this happening?
[07:27] <crimsun> whyami: ...because that's the way vlc works.
[07:27] <NigelS> gimmulf: e.g http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-xconfig/nvidia-xconfig-1.0.tar.gz
[07:27] <crimsun> whyami: want more spew? use -vvv
[07:28] <NigelS> gimmulf: and you followed: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8178/README/appendix-g.html ?
[07:29] <Plitskin> hi are there any predefined shortcut keys such as how I bring up the terminal window or shutdown the computer in Ubuntu?
[07:30] <gimmulf> i dont want to read 5 pages to get my monitors running, i just want to run a program and get t running in 1 minute without beeing some kind of rocket science professor.. so fxxxxxing tired of it now but i guess i should read that shit :(
[07:30] <gimmulf> guess i should get windows :)
[07:30] <doubletwist> Anyone successfully connect two computers together using eth1394? [firewire]
[07:30] <michaelb> Plitskin: try going to System-preferences-keyboard shortcuts
[07:31] <Plitskin> yes!
[07:31] <doubletwist> When I connect my ubuntu box to a debian box, everything works fine, but the instant I try to ping from the ubuntu box, it hard-freezes, and I have to reset.
[07:31] <Plitskin> I was finally able to do it
[07:31] <Plitskin> vi wasn't so hard to learn after all :)
[07:31] <Plitskin> uhmm... vim
[07:31] <bobyfixer> any one compiled mechcommander 2 under linux ?!!!!
[07:31] <NigelS> gimmulf: I gave you a link to the program! maybe if you'd had some kind of initiative from the start you wouldn't have spent 5 hours doing it!  Reading isn't a think to  balk at either; it's how you get to understand what something is doing
[07:32] <Plitskin> michaelb - thanks I'll take a look
[07:32] <gimmulf> NigelS:  a link would be great, i dont want to understand how it works i just want to use it :)
[07:32] <doubletwist> I also tried between windows and debian, but still can't ping between them. The debian box [connected to windows]  gives a bunch of entries in dmesg: "sender nodeid lookup failure"
[07:33] <JoeMorris> how come ubuntu is the most active
[07:33] <JoeMorris> on freenode, always people here :)
[07:33] <NickGarvey> www.distrowatch.com
[07:33] <gimmulf> NigelS:  didnt find a link to the software there
[07:33] <NickGarvey> look at the hpd compared to others
[07:33] <michaelb> JoeMorris: because Ubuntu is one of the most popular distros...
[07:33] <cycus_zwisus> JoeMorris, ubuntu is the easiest distro on earth, that's why :)
[07:33] <JoeMorris> cycus:  Not really
[07:34] <zipper> !nvidia
[07:34] <ubotu> I heard nvidia is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368
[07:34] <michaelb> cycus: except for linspire, mepis, and pclinuxos
[07:34] <sebastian> test
[07:34] <JoeMorris> cycus:  Dapper isnt final yet so maybe when it hits final
[07:34] <gnomefreak> easy depends on who you are and what you know
[07:34] <JoeMorris> cycus but breezy is behind fedore core 5
[07:34] <sebastian> .vmx file is created by putting the stuff in a text editor.  and saving it as filename.vmx.  ,but my .vmx files Linux thinks are .txt and so they won't work
[07:34] <JoeMorris> or whatever the current version is
[07:34] <sebastian> anyone know how to solove this problem?
[07:34] <cycus_zwisus> michaelb, these are not linuxes
[07:34] <Karmander> I need help for the configuration of my mouse
[07:34] <HOEHAVER> hey during the last step of the install for ubuntu5.10 if all of the packages dont get to configure because lets say someone pressed alt ctrl delete
[07:35] <ubuntu__> bye
[07:35] <HOEHAVER> how would you start the configuration process over
[07:35] <Karmander> Anybody knows why Ubuntu couldn't detect my mouse??
[07:35] <JoeMorris> see
[07:35] <john_linux_newbi> Hi guys Bug Buddy wants to know the path to send mail.  I have no idea how to find the path.  Can anyone help?
[07:35] <HOEHAVER> with out reinstalling the whole thing
[07:35] <JoeMorris> ubuntu needs some fixin
[07:35] <JoeMorris> karmander which version?
[07:35] <cycus_zwisus> they are a mix of windows and linux
[07:35] <sebastian> your  mouse is possibly not compatible
[07:35] <Karmander> JoeMorris 5.1
[07:35] <JoeMorris> ok what mouse?
[07:36] <majd> Hey, i'm having two small problems. The Eject button my cd/dvd players don't work, i have to right click on desktop and then eject from there. Secondly, whenever i restart, Num Lock is off...why?
[07:36] <Karmander> JoeMorris Genius serial port
[07:36] <sethrd> If I use GARnome to get 2.14, will it get all the deps for me?
[07:36] <Joetheodd> JoeMorris, use dapper if you want bleeding edge technology.
[07:36] <sebastian> I think the having to eject the CD's from Linux is normal
[07:36] <HOEHAVER> _jason can you help
[07:36] <HOEHAVER> maybe?
[07:36] <detunedwarlock> Ubuntu and ATI not working please help! followed 3 guides and reconfigured xorg.conf, still can't make it work
[07:36] <JoeMorris> joetheodd i did, was installing and testing some new distros
[07:36] <cycus_zwisus> ati drivers
[07:36] <JoeMorris> dapper is nice
[07:37] <JoeMorris> suse is nice, fedora is nice
[07:37] <Xenguy> majd: IIRC the numlock issue is covered on the wiki somewhere
[07:37] <detunedwarlock> downloaded those too cycus
[07:37] <JoeMorris> each in their own ways
[07:37] <Joetheodd> majd: numlock is a bios problem, I believe. As for the CD, type eject /mnt/cdrom0 (to unmount and then open drive)
[07:37] <NigelS> gimmulf: 18:26 < NigelS> gimmulf: e.g http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-xconfig/nvidia-xconfig-1.0.tar.gz
[07:37] <sethrd> If I use GARnome to get GNOME 2.14, will it get all the deps for me?
[07:37] <john_linux_newbi> Bug Buddy wants to know the path to send mail.  I have no idea how to find the path.  Can anyone help?
[07:37] <detunedwarlock> nothing is giving me direct render
[07:37] <michaelb> cycus_zwisus: see http://www.pclinuxos.com/ , http://www.mepis.org/ , and http://www.linspire.com/ -- I'm not sure what you mean by a mix of linux and windows, but maybe that will clear things up
[07:37] <majd> JoeMorris, Xenguy cool thanks
[07:37] <Alexi5> how do you guys rate intel new intel duo core processors
[07:38] <lafferpt> where can I find the original mirror repositories for my country?
[07:38] <sethrd> Alexi5: They are awesome.
[07:38] <Xenguy> !tell majd about numlock
[07:38] <JoeMorris> xenguy?
[07:38] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell lafferpt about sources
[07:38] <baconbacon> lafferpt, you could try adding your country code
[07:38] <baconbacon> like ca.archive.ubuntu.com
[07:38] <Xenguy> JoeMorris: ?
 JoeMorris, Xenguy cool thanks
[07:39] <JoeMorris> was talking to majd
[07:39] <john_linux_newbi> I'm sure this is really far below the level of everyone here - but Bug Buddy wants to know the path to send mail.  I have no idea how to find the path.  Can anyone help?
[07:39] <gnomefreak> lafferpt: just dont put country code in the security.archive or however its writen
[07:39] <Xenguy> JoeMorris: then prepend his nick :-)
[07:39] <sethrd> Anyone running GNOME 2.14 on Breezy?
[07:39] <lafferpt> gnomefreak, tks
[07:40] <gnomefreak> john_linux_newbi: you need to set up sendmail for that i would say choose the saave option and copy paste it into your bug report
[07:40] <gnomefreak> lafferpt: yw
[07:40] <JoeMorris> you know i remember when ubuntu first came out
[07:40] <gnomefreak> save*
[07:40] <Yoric> Alexi5, can't boot with one of them yet :)
[07:40] <JoeMorris> and there were only a few users
[07:40] <HOEHAVER> does anyone know how to finish the final step of installation for ubuntu 5.10 when it was interupted
[07:40] <Yoric> But they're supposed to be good.
[07:40] <JoeMorris> ubuntu took off like a rock :)
[07:40] <HOEHAVER> the part after it reboots and is configureing packages
[07:40] <JoeMorris> #lycoris used to be kickin
[07:41] <gtek> can anyone answer any questions regarding edubuntu????
[07:41] <john_linux_newbi> thank you gnome freak I did that.  How can I go about setting up send mail?
[07:41] <JoeMorris> then it went poof and merged with mandrake
[07:41] <zipper> So, what editor do you guys recommend for php programming? (not a console editor)
[07:41] <gnomefreak> HOEHAVER: next boot might contimue it if not that not sure you could try running sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[07:41] <zipper> !sshd
[07:41] <ubotu> rumour has it, sshd is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SSHHowto
[07:41] <Xenguy> JoeMorris: there is #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:41] <gnomefreak> zipper: anjuta i think supports php
[07:41] <detunedwarlock> !ati drivers
[07:41] <ubotu> detunedwarlock: I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[07:42] <zipper> gnomefreak, i'll try it out, thanks
[07:42] <ab0rted> why should i choose ubuntu as my desktop?
[07:42] <gnomefreak> !ati
[07:42] <ubotu> I guess ati is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=423589

[07:43] <Blippe> !wma
[07:43] <ubotu> well, restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed here can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[07:43] <neurosis> ab0rted: use freebsd, its way better
[07:43] <neurosis> :p
[07:43] <Karmander41> JoeMorris what? an usual mouse
[07:43] <Plitskin> uuuhh
[07:43] <zipper> !ftpd
[07:43] <ubotu> I give up. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, zipper
[07:43] <Plitskin> well... that was quite some learning today
[07:43] <rukuartic> zipper: What you lookin' for?
[07:43] <ab0rted> neurosis i detest windows, im only using it atm because of gaming
[07:44] <neurosis> what games do you like to play?
[07:44] <ASTX813> Well that went ok, finally, but now one of my fonts is huge
[07:44] <Xenguy> neurosis: yeah, it'll curl you hair faster too =)
[07:44] <JoeMorris> karmander41:  you need to reconfigure the x config
[07:44] <Karmander41> JoeMorris i went to /dev/mouse and the file doesn't exist
[07:44] <Plitskin> I wonder what's next...
[07:44] <rukuartic> ab0rted: Oh, you mean why Ubuntu vs. Other linux distros?
[07:44] <zipper> !apache
[07:44] <ubotu> I guess apache is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP
[07:44] <neurosis> Xenguy: : haha... ive  been on the month toe curl
[07:44] <ab0rted> yes rukuartic
[07:44] <Karmander41> JoeMorris how can i do that?
[07:44] <rukuartic> zipper: use /msg ubuotu topic for help
[07:44] <neurosis> i started using debian for a break
[07:44] <Eleaf> mmmm
[07:44] <Xenguy> zipper: vsftpd
[07:44] <JoeMorris> Option "Device" "/dev/ttys0"
[07:44] <JoeMorris> Option "Protocol" "Auto"
[07:44] <rukuartic> ab0rted: This channel is the biggest reason
[07:44] <neurosis> i love freebsd
[07:44] <ab0rted> lol rukuartic
[07:44] <rukuartic> ab0rted: You're not gonna find another distro with as much as a supportive help channel
[07:44] <Blippe> ab0rted, cause it is the easy debian!
[07:44] <gtek> has anyone used edubuntu to set up thin clients?
[07:44] <neurosis> but debian is allot easier to get running
[07:44] <Plitskin> oh yeah, got to set lamp too
[07:44] <rukuartic> ab0rted: That, and debian's really easy to install packages and stuff.
[07:44] <Joetheodd> At the risk of being irrevelant, FreeBSD is UNIX, not Linux.
[07:45] <Plitskin> I guess I'll do it tomorrow
[07:45] <ab0rted> well gentoo is bigger rukuartic
[07:45] <Plitskin> thanks guys
[07:45] <Blippe> gtek, i fiddled with it!
[07:45] <Plitskin> I appreciate it
[07:45] <neurosis> ab0rted: honesly, this is the best help channel ive ever been to in my life...
[07:45] <Plitskin> laterz
[07:45] <Karmander41> how can i install my mouse help me please
[07:45] <Joetheodd> Well, FreeBSD is BSD, not UNIX, but closer to UNIX than Linux.
[07:45] <neurosis> not allot of ego nonsense here
[07:45] <JoeMorris> im using dapper
[07:45] <HOEHAVER> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[07:45] <rukuartic> ab0rted: Yea, I've been around with a few distros, I've never found a more supportive help channel. Most of them are like "RTFM!!!!"
[07:45] <HOEHAVER> how do i do this
[07:45] <JoeMorris> is 5.10 using xfree86?
[07:45] <HOEHAVER> ?
[07:45] <rukuartic> ab0rted: Or people don't talk to you at all.
[07:45] <Xenguy> neurosis: if it were GPL'd, I might look at it.
[07:45] <Blippe> Joetheodd, bsd is about much unix as macosx and linux
[07:45] <JoeMorris> for the older versions of ubuntu it was
[07:45] <AlphaVista> JoeMorris: No
[07:46] <JoeMorris> ok
[07:46] <HOEHAVER> i for real need help if any one can help me
[07:46] <Karmander41> anybody knows how to configure a mouse in Ubuntu
[07:46] <ab0rted> but i need something to convince me on installing ubuntu and using it as my main desktop
[07:46] <exigence123> I'm having one hell of a problem caused by the ubuntu install CD - apparently, it wiped the partition table on a drive to be used for dual-booting
[07:46] <JoeMorris> karmander41 By default Linux is not for serial mouse, instead it will detect PS/2
[07:46] <JoeMorris> karmander41 thats your issue
[07:47] <ubuntu__> hi
[07:47] <arkanis> what does "the debootstrap program exited with an error (return value  1)" mean?
[07:47] <JoeMorris> karmander im not sure which file its on
[07:47] <Karmander41> ok thank you
[07:47] <ab0rted> i like debian but
[07:47] <ubuntu__> how can i view files that are on my pc ?
[07:47] <Blippe> arkanis, depends on when it did, install?
[07:47] <JoeMorris> oh wait
[07:47] <ab0rted> what makes ubuntu better?
[07:47] <hurax> arkanis: means the installation program has produced an error somewhere
[07:47] <JoeMorris> xorg.conf
[07:47] <MrRio> HOEHAVER, just ask your question
[07:47] <JoeMorris> i think
[07:47] <Xenguy> Joetheodd: GNU == GNU's Not Unix :-)
[07:47] <hurax> had that all the time with the defect cds...
[07:47] <exigence123> Joe or anyone else, have any ideas how I might go about fixing a partition table and getting to that ntfs partition when windows installer can't even see the drive / recovery console is helpless for it?
[07:47] <AlphaVista> JoeMorris: yes
[07:48] <arkanis> so I can't a
[07:48] <rukuartic> ab0rted: Like I said, the support channel. All linux distros are essentially the same, the only diff is redhat vs debian
[07:48] <JoeMorris> karmander:  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:48] <HOEHAVER> the final stage of installation was interupted when it was configuring pacages and when i run sudo apt-get update or upgrade i get this message
[07:48] <JoeMorris> karmander:  sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:48] <HOEHAVER> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[07:48] <arkanis> blippe, it says I should look in /target/var/log/bootstrap.log but I can't find this file...
[07:48] <Blippe> ab0rted, it is supposedly easier to install and maintain... (linux for humans)
[07:48] <cycus_zwisus> after installing ati drivers shouldn't it be enough to edit xorg.conf and substitute "ati" with "fglrx"?
[07:48] <HOEHAVER> how do i do what it asks
[07:48] <ab0rted> yeah but ubuntu doesnt have portage ;p
[07:49] <JoeMorris> karmander:  Check the mouse section and see if it detected it as a serial mouse
[07:49] <rukuartic> ab0rted: Like I said, the support channel. All linux distros are essentially the same, the only diff is redhat vs debian
[07:49] <sethrd> If I want to get GNOME 2.14 on my Breezy system, so I need to use GARnome, or is there an easier way of doing it?
[07:49] <sethrd> And please, do not say just upgrade to Dapper. I tried that last time, and I foobared my system.
[07:49] <Joetheodd> Xenguy: Yeah, I know, but FreeBSD is BSD, not GNU =p
[07:49] <gnomefreak> sethrd: i havent heard of a way at all yet due to versions of libs ect clashing
[07:50] <JoeMorris> sethrd dapper isnt final, what do you expect
[07:50] <Xenguy> ab0rted: debian variants can compile from source *or* use binaries
[07:50] <sethrd> JoeMorris: I'm very aware of that.
[07:50] <sethrd> gnomefreak: Ok, thanks.
[07:50] <cycus_zwisus> sethrd, garnome seems the easiest way but some packages ubuntu uses are too old for successful compilation
[07:50] <Blippe> arkanis, is it during a normal install the "target" is nothin if it was during a debootstrap to get 32 bits to run under a 64 bits enviromnent it is where you debottstrapteed 'em, so again, when does this problem appear?
[07:50] <rukuartic> Hey, anyone had experience dualbooting a laptop thats already got Win2k installed on it? If you partition the HD and then install Ubuntu, will it run Grub at boot, or will I have to configure that myself?
[07:50] <ab0rted> will my genitalia get bigger if i use ubuntu instead of other linux distros?
[07:50] <sethrd> Well, is it possible to have the deskbar on 2.12?
[07:50] <ab0rted> lol ;p
[07:50] <JoeMorris> sethrd:  i love trying test versions cause i havent seen a linux distro ive liked yet for primetime till recently...... now its starting to get good :)
[07:50] <Dr_Willis> ab0rted,  it worked for my wife.
[07:50] <rukuartic> ab0rted: Thats just a way to get banned from here >>;
[07:50] <Xenguy> Joetheodd: you implied that bsd is better because it is closer to unix; my point is that gnu/linux is *intentionally* different from unix, and that is OK
[07:51] <arkanis> blippe, I can't say exactly
[07:51] <gps> it should grub for you rukuartic
[07:51] <Blippe> ab0rted no, we got apt-get... it is better :P
[07:51] <JoeMorris> sethrd which dapper did you try?
[07:51] <d3v11> Error: Kernel source code is incomplete - header file dm.h not found. <-- what can i do?
[07:51] <ab0rted> sorry rukuartic
[07:51] <gps> ab0rted: other
[07:51] <sethrd> JoeMorris: I did a dist-upgrade. I know, not the smartest thing...
[07:51] <JoeMorris> sethrd:  no problems with dapper flight 5 actually that i installed from scratch
[07:51] <rukuartic> ab0rted: Yea <<; Either way, I said, the community is the best reason to use ubuntu
[07:51] <Blippe> arkanis, you don't know what you are doing? are you installing or not?
[07:51] <hurax> well i had the same with a defect cd, are you sure yours is ok?
[07:51] <rukuartic> ab0rted: Its also pretty secure...
[07:51] <exigence123> hoe, were you talking to me about dpkg
[07:51] <rukuartic> !tell ab0rted about root
[07:51] <sethrd> JoeMorris: I'll have to grab the ISO then.
[07:51] <Davey> sethrd: I did a dist-upgrade too, works perfectly for me, XGL and everything :)
[07:51] <d3v11> how can i check what version of the kernel i have?
[07:52] <JoeMorris> sethrd:  but remember its not final
[07:52] <sethrd> Davey: It messed up my X.
[07:52] <Xenguy> ab0rted: I would add that the technical merits of debian based systems is another compelling reason to choose Ubuntu
[07:52] <arkanis> yeah,i'am installing, but I can't say what the pc could'nt copy or install
[07:52] <JoeMorris> sethrd i had issues with it dont get me wrong, but nothing fatal or anything
[07:52] <Davey> sethrd: what's wrong with it?
[07:52] <aridese> is there a linux MS publisher - type program?
[07:52] <Blippe> aridese, several..
[07:52] <Xenguy> ab0rted: plus the fact that is licensed GPL, and is non-commercial
[07:52] <gps> googlepages.com ;)
[07:52] <aridese> can you recommend the one with the least learning curve?
[07:53] <Blippe> aridese, but none tha imports .pub-files
[07:53] <d3v11> Ne1 knows how to check kernel version?
[07:53] <phrowzen> hey
[07:53] <sethrd> Davey: When I got past boot, and it loaded up GDM, there were lines going across the screen. I can't really describe it. It was unusable in that state though.
[07:53] <Xenguy> aridese: for desktop publishing, see scribus
[07:53] <aridese> Blippe, i don't need that, i need to make a pamphlet for school in a day or two (been procrastinating :-/)
[07:53] <Xenguy> brb
[07:53] <ab0rted> alright then, im convinced
[07:53] <phrowzen> has anyone tried touch rdpserver as an alternative vino solution? rdp is probably the one thing built by microsoft ive liked.. its quite efficient over slow networks, vnc can be unbearably slow sometimes
[07:53] <sethrd> ab0rted: Conviced of what?
[07:53] <aridese> Xenguy, ill check it out, thanks
[07:53] <Davey> sethrd: well, make sure you have your current kernels restricted modules installed if you use proprietary Nvidia or ATI drivers, it is not installed automatically
[07:54] <ab0rted> i just wish the shipit disks didnt take so long
[07:54] <sethrd> Davey: Only drivers I'm using not supplied by install are for my wireless card.
[07:54] <asymmetry> ab0rted: I could just mail them to you.
[07:54] <sethrd> Davey: I didn't touch anything for my ATI Radeon 7500 Mobility.
[07:54] <Davey> sethrd: are you using fglrx or ati?
[07:54] <ab0rted> by the time they get here a new stable release is out =\
[07:54] <sethrd> Davey: Direct Rendering worked by default. Sure, only got scores of like 500, but it's fine.
[07:54] <Blippe> aridese, i think scribus are a good "substitute"
[07:54] <d3v11> i have to compile a software on my computer.. but it says that i'm missing the kernel sources.. where can i download them? and how do i check which version of the kernel i have?
[07:55] <sethrd> Davey: Honestly, I couldn't tell ya.
[07:55] <aridese> Blippe, ok =)
[07:55] <ab0rted> asymmetry really?
[07:55] <Mischevious> anyone here have ipod nano and can do me a humungus favor ?
[07:55] <rukuartic> d3v11: Checked the wiki yet?
[07:55] <asymmetry> ab0rted: Sure. Just need an address, and whether you want CDs or DVDs.
[07:55] <Davey> weee! 73 Dapper updates today :)
[07:55] <phrowzen> Mischevious, i do but im at work right now
[07:55] <asymmetry> ab0rted: But, FYI, Dapper comes out in a very short time.
[07:55] <d3v11> rukuartic, yes.. checked everywhere
[07:55] <rukuartic> d3v11: I know its there, I just don't know the command :P
[07:55] <Mischevious> phrowzen, okay.
[07:55] <ab0rted> ok then ill wait for dapper
[07:55] <Davey> asymmetry: June/July is hardly close ;)
[07:55] <sethrd> Davey: It looks like as of now I'm using the ati driver.
[07:55] <phrowzen> Mischevious, does that still help you?
[07:56] <rukuartic> d3v11: You're right! :O lemme check around real quick
[07:56] <Mischevious> phrowzen, no ..
[07:56] <phrowzen> okay.. sorry
[07:56] <asymmetry> Davey: No, but April is.
[07:56] <Davey> asymmetry: and it's been delayed 6 weeks
[07:56] <asymmetry> Davey: Which puts it in May.
[07:56] <Davey> asymmetry: it will not be released in April
[07:56] <Davey> no, June :)
[07:57] <asymmetry> Davey: Well, I tend to trust the Ubuntu site. And they say April. So until I see something there, I'm going to say April.
[07:57] <bobbyd> hi
[07:57] <Mischevious> it's pushed back to june
[07:57] <sanhauru> re :)
[07:57] <Mischevious> anyone here have ipod nano and can do me a humungus favor ?
[07:57] <Blippe> the ubuntu site says 1st june
[07:57] <asymmetry> Ubuntu site, Release Schedule: Ubuntu 6.04 (The Dapper Drake): April 2006
[07:57] <bobbyd> I'm trying to add a new disk to a raid array, when I do "sudo mdadm --add /dev/md0 /dev/sda" I get "mdadm: Cannot open /dev/sda: Device or resource busy" but sda isn't mounted...
[07:58] <amonkey> i have a usb->serial convertor, how can i figure out what /dev/* it is being linked to?
[07:58] <Mischevious> asymmetry, it's june 1st
[07:58] <d3v11> rukuartic, seems like no one knows that command.. been looking all day :P
[07:58] <Davey> asymmetry: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseSchedule - go read
[07:59] <rukuartic> d3v11: You mean kernel headders?
[07:59] <rukuartic> d3v11: I think, I think... its "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[07:59] <Davey> asymmetry: and the ML post from Mark Shuttleworth, http://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2006-March/000058.html
[07:59] <lafferpt> I installed aspell-pt package, where is the dictionary location?
[08:00] <ab0rted> hey those ubuntu cakes in fridge.ubuntu look yummy
[08:00] <Blippe> asymmetry, and it is ubuntu 6.06 (dapper drake)
[08:01] <d3v11> rukuartic, doing that it says that I already has the latets package
[08:01] <d3v11> latest even
[08:01] <Blippe> if you want the latest it is just "kernel-headers"
[08:02] <Blippe> d3v11, and if you want the whole source, you should get "kernel-tree"
[08:02] <rukuartic> d3v11: how about "sudo apt-get install linux-tree$(uname -r)?
[08:02] <rukuartic> adur... without the ? or "
[08:02] <fiendskull9> !java
[08:02] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[08:02] <d3v11> what i want is to compile truecrypt.. but then it needs "kernel source" files.. and when trying to compile it says:Error: Kernel source code is incomplete - header file dm.h not foun
[08:03] <Cyorxamp> Hi my kernel is 2.6.12-10-386 - I need 2.6.13 for something

[08:04] <arkanis> blippe, it can't load zlib1g (say couldn't download package)
[08:04] <AlphaVista> 2.6.15-19-386
[08:04] <toni__> Is it possible to use NTFS on ubuntu?!?
[08:04] <toni__> plz help
[08:04] <Cyorxamp> !ntfs
[08:04] <ubotu> rumour has it, ntfs is the filesystem used in Windows NT and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[08:04] <toni__> thx, man
[08:05] <bobbyd> I can dd from /dev/sda, but I get this:"rob@phoenix:~$ sudo mdadm --zero-superblock --force /dev/sda
[08:05] <bobbyd> mdadm: Couldn't open /dev/sda for write - not zeroing"
[08:05] <Cyorxamp> what kernel does Dapper use!?
[08:05] <bobbyd> anyone know whay that's happening?
[08:05] <AlphaVista> 2.6.15-19-386
[08:05] <AlphaVista> twice ive said that
[08:05] <ab0rted> AlphaVista is teh ubuntu guru
[08:05] <selinium> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-announce/2006-March/000058.html
[08:05] <ab0rted> ;p
[08:05] <AlphaVista> lol
[08:05] <venox> huhh... why the tango-icon-theme doesn't work with ROX (packaged on xubuntu-desktop)?
[08:06] <gtek> HELP need assistant with edubuntu
[08:06] <gnomefreak> !helpme
[08:06] <ubotu> If you do not actually ask a question, we can not actually help you.
[08:06] <arkanis> and it defintly fails when wants do unpack "makedev"
[08:07] <NickGarvey> !edubuntu
[08:07] <ubotu> [edubuntu]  an Ubuntu version suitable for classroom use. See http://edubuntu.org or visit #edubuntu
[08:07] <gnomefreak> edubuntu works great here
[08:07] <gtek> I loaded edubuntu onto a new server that I built I assumed that the setup would automatically setup LTSP and the thin cleint server
[08:08] <d3v11> when trying: sudo apt-get install linux-tree$(uname -r) i get the message that it can't find the package: linux-tree2.6.12-10-686-smp
[08:08] <gnomefreak> gtek: it doesnt
[08:08] <d3v11> ne1 knows what to do=
[08:08] <d3v11> ?
[08:08] <afief> What is the worst thing that could happen if i upgrade to dapper now?
[08:08] <gnomefreak> gtek: go to the site above that ubotu posted for edubuntu and they should have instreuctions
[08:08] <ogra> gtek, http://wiki.edubuntu.org/EdubuntuInstallNotes
[08:08] <gnomefreak> afief: it leave you without an os
[08:09] <roast> d3v11: apt-cache search linux-tree, look for the package you want, and then install that.
[08:09] <AlphaVista> you can try sudo apt-get install `uname -r`
[08:09] <gnomefreak> afief: i would wait till at the very least april 20th-21
[08:09] <frank23> afief: having an unusable dapper
[08:10] <toni__> what is the best alternative msn messenger for ubuntu?
[08:10] <dabaR> Yo!
[08:10] <gnomefreak> toni__: gaim or amsn
[08:10] <mojojojo_> hi! can I set so for a particular application sudo will not ask for password?
[08:10] <ASTX813> If I don't disable my wifi card (turn off the switch) before the computer boots up, it freezes when it gets to the setting up ALSA
[08:10] <toni__> ok
[08:10] <toni__> thx
[08:10] <afief> frank23: i don't mind unstable, as long as i can get my data out of it
[08:10] <NickGarvey> what happens when there are multiple thin client servers on a network?
[08:10] <afief> gnomefreak: i thought they are not releasing at 20.april anymore
[08:10] <ASTX813> As soon as it got past ALSA, I could enable the card and the system boots fine
[08:11] <gnomefreak> afief: that is what unstable means (it can break at any time loss of data is kind of with that)
[08:11] <Joetheodd> Is there some reason mozilla-firefox is in security and not main? =p
[08:11] <gnomefreak> afief: april 20th is beta release
[08:11] <gnomefreak> june 1 is final release
[08:11] <afief> gnomefreak: i don't mind loss of data i'm currently working on. loss of data that's already saved is scary...
[08:11] <ASTX813> Anyone know of any connection there?
[08:11] <frank23> afief: data should be pretty safe... worst case scenario: recover it with a live cd or another linux partition
[08:12] <mojojojo_> can I set so for a particular program sudo will not ask for password?
[08:12] <rukuartic> Any Linux file backup/archive programs out there worth using?
[08:12] <kergoth> jesus, the fglrx-kernel-source package is completely and utterly useless
[08:12] <roast> mojojojo_: look up NOPASSWD
[08:12] <kergoth> debian/rules has spaces on a line that should have a tab, breaking make's attempt to parse it
[08:12] <Joetheodd> afief: See where you're coming from. I'm in the habit of control+s after every tiny change i make =p
[08:12] <afief> frank23: so if my linux system breaks down, i got lot's of stuff saved in my home directory. how can i access that with a liveCD?
[08:12] <roast> mojojojo_: something like 'username ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/slay' in sudoers
[08:12] <gnomefreak> afief: ok if you dont mind getting up one day and dapper not being able to boot install it if that bothers you than dont install it
[08:12] <mojojojo_> roast, thx :)
[08:13] <roast> mojojojo_: gl
[08:13] <afief> Joetheodd: we two have the same habbit after working too long on windows i guess
[08:13] <arkanis> hm, when I have the ubuntu-image and alcohol120% in which mode should I burn the cd?
[08:13] <ASTX813> !alsa
[08:13] <ubotu> [alsa]  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=32063, see also !dmix
[08:13] <rukuartic> afief: mount the HD, then cd /mnt/hdx/home/<yourusername>
[08:13] <bobbyd> does anyone here use software raid?
[08:13] <fangorious> none of my gnome-user-share shares are showing up. I have two linux machines and an apple and none of them see the other two. firewalls are turned off on all three
[08:13] <ASTX813> !freeze
[08:13] <ubotu> What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, ASTX813
[08:13] <mulima> hi
[08:13] <afief> gnomefreak: no i don't mind, as long as i can recover my saved data somehow. if you could kindly tell me how to do that....
[08:13] <fangorious> the only thing i see when browsing the network in ubuntu is an empty "Windows Network"
[08:14] <Joetheodd> afief: Heh, basically programming class, having to save before recomping while testing something, but yeah, it helps on Windows, lol
[08:14] <ASTX813> afief a live cd will give you access to all partitions, then just copy them off to a network share
[08:14] <frank23> afief: boot the live cd, mount the / partition of the HD. then copy the data somwhere. burn it or something.  If you have important data that you are scared to lose, you should be making regular backups anyways
[08:14] <rukuartic> frank23: any good linux backup programs out there?
[08:14] <afief> rukuartic: isn't there some permission game i would have to play? or is the home directory open to read by everybody?
[08:14] <aridese> how do i set up a network printer in ubuntu?
[08:14] <f8> hi, is there a channel for ATI help?
[08:14] <gnomefreak> afief: that would depend on what you want to save. i suggest using live cd to do that but there is no such thing as "this is possible or not possible" in dapper
[08:14] <rzr> f8: #ATI
[08:14] <fangorious> aridese: as a server or a client?
[08:15] <f8> on this server?
[08:15] <rukuartic> afief: Not sure. Give it a shot, go grab a livecd and see if you can do it :P
[08:15] <aridese> fangorious, as a server
[08:15] <frank23> rukuartic: I don't really know them...
[08:15] <fangorious> aridese: do you have the printer configured locally, through System->Administration->Printing?
[08:15] <afief> joetheodd: yeah, that's where i took it off: programming VB(sorry people, i was fourth grade when i did that! don't shot me!)
[08:15] <sethrd> Ok, so the Dapper Drake torrent sucks.
[08:15] <aridese> fangorious, yes
[08:16] <gnomefreak> sethrd: ;) its not too bad
[08:16] <ariel> Hello boys
[08:16] <sethrd> I got 2 seeders and 4 leechers.
[08:16] <fangorious> aridese: what type of clients are you serving to?
[08:16] <afief> okay then... me will now save all data somewhere safe and do a nice apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:16] <gnomefreak> thats not that good
[08:16] <aridese> fangorious, windows clients
[08:16] <ariel> I m from Argentina
[08:16] <sethrd> gnomefreak: I've had it running for 30 minutes, and only connected to 6 people, 2 seeders and 4 leechers.
[08:16] <ASTX813> what is module i2c?
[08:16] <ASTX813> !i2c
[08:16] <ubotu> ASTX813: Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[08:16] <ariel> where are you from?
[08:16] <fangorious> aridese: you should be able to just install the samba server and it will automatically share the printers
[08:16] <ASTX813> not helpful
[08:16] <afief> anything i should prepare before doing that?
[08:16] <rukuartic> ASTX813: If you want help, http://google.com
[08:16] <gnomefreak> afief: back up everything and do a clean install
[08:16] <hid3> Evening everyone. Let's say I have a heavy traffic from/to a certain host. What takes fewer resources to process a request to/from that host: a route or a firewall rule?
[08:17] <sethrd> gnomefreak: Sadly, I'm whoring Ubuntu's bandwidth by doing a regular HTTP download.
[08:17] <rukuartic> ASTX813: Don't just ! the bot =\. Try /msg ubotu <question> for better help
[08:17] <aridese> fangorious, unfortunatly that's not the case -- i have samba installed :-/
[08:17] <frank23> afief: what's the rush though. why not just wait for the dapper release?
[08:17] <rukuartic> ASTX813: doesn't spam the channel.
[08:17] <rukuartic> afief: frank23 has a good point
[08:17] <ASTX813> sorry
[08:17] <Nefass> Hello
[08:17] <afief> clean install?:( don't have enough blank CDs here, is there a network install option
[08:17] <exigence123> Would it be possible to create a DOS bootdisk using this ubuntu live CD?  I'm basically a nix noobie
[08:17] <Nefass> somebody can help me in bios ?
[08:17] <fangorious> aridese: are the windows machines able to browse your ubuntu machine?
[08:17] <aridese> fangorious, yes
[08:17] <gnomefreak> afief: for dapper not sure but i hear alot of people having issues with upgrading
[08:17] <afief> frank23: well, i would have been willing to wait for the end of april, but 1st june is too far away
[08:18] <fangorious> aridese: so they see the file shares, just not the printer?
[08:18] <gnomefreak> afief: april 20th do it than
[08:18] <Nefass> PLEASE
[08:18] <frank23> afief: is there a new feature in dapper you can't live without?
[08:18] <afief> gnomefreak: your advice is my command sir
[08:18] <aridese> fangorious, i had to configure the samba config file to get them to see the printer, but they cant print
[08:18] <gnomefreak> ^^ will be released for people to test than
[08:18] <exigence123> nefass, you might want to ask your question so people know what you need
[08:18] <aridese> fangorious, they don't have the required driver, but when i install it, it doesnt work -- there's no automated utility?
[08:18] <afief> frank23: basicly not, i'm still messing around with linux and trying to get a bunch of different things to work
[08:18] <aridese> fangorious, i suspect is futzed the configuration file somehow
[08:18] <gnomefreak> oops :(
[08:19] <gnomefreak> ok lets move to #ubuntu+1 please for the dapper talk
[08:19] <afief> frank23: but right now i tried to install cinelerra and dvdstyler and couldn't because a bunch of missing dependencies
[08:19] <ubuntu_> Hello
[08:19] <exigence123> sooo.... anyone, DOS bootdisk creation while on a live CD?  I haven't a clue.
[08:19] <f8> i cn't get my video card to work so i'm using irssi, how can i learn the basic command?
[08:19] <gnomefreak> afief: you need the repos enabled
[08:19] <venox> huh. apt-get recommends me gtk-engines-smooth
[08:19] <venox> but there's no gtk-engines-smooth anywhere.
[08:19] <venox> hahahaha
[08:19] <fangorious> aridese: in System->Administration->Printing there might be something for configuring smb sharing, but I don't have a printer so I can't check
[08:19] <afief> gnomefreak: which? I've already enabled universe and multiverse
[08:19] <fangorious> aridese: have you checked /var/log/cups/*
[08:20] <aridese> fangorious, ok, ill look
[08:20] <frank23> afief: how did you try to install those?
[08:20] <gnomefreak> afief: are they the backport universe adn multiverse?
[08:20] <themachine> I don't understand why the annonymous login for proftpd won't accept my email for a passwd
[08:20] <f8> can anyone give me the help command for irssi?
[08:20] <rukuartic> themachine: are you telling your FTP program to log in anonymously? usually its like ftp -A
[08:20] <gnomefreak> f8: /help
[08:20] <afief> frank23: downloaded from their webpages, they weren't in the repositories
[08:20] <mulima> anyone knows if the "Cap Processor Usage patch" could be used in ubuntu ?
[08:21] <mulima> http://www.tls-technologies.com/CPU/cpu-intro.html
[08:21] <f8> thanks gnome, do i place a keyword after /help?
[08:21] <afief> gnomefreak: ummm... how do i check that? I enabled the options in synaptic repository maneger basicly
[08:21] <frank23> afief: as source? that's the best way for programs not in ubuntu
[08:21] <gnomefreak> f8: not for help menu what are you wanting to do with irssi?
[08:21] <eirejah> hey guys what do i need to setup printing on ubuntu ?
[08:21] <afief> frank23: no, as DEB, i'm still having my problems compiling more complicated packages from source
[08:21] <eirejah> !printing
[08:21] <ubotu> methinks printing is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters or http://www.linuxprinting.org
[08:21] <f8> i'm trying to manage being in multiple rooms
[08:21] <gnomefreak> afief: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.llist
[08:22] <gnomefreak> f8: ctrl+n will move to next ctrl+p will move back
[08:22] <JAyRULE> i just tried to install ubuntu.. i just put the disk in, reboot, and i get an error saying "ISOLINUX 2.04 2003-04-16 isolinux: Disk error 01, AX = 4229,9F"  is there anyway around this?
[08:22] <gnomefreak> ctrl+ #of room will move you right to it
[08:22] <jbroome> sounds like a bad burn
[08:22] <frank23> afief: compiling from source is better than installing non ubuntu .debs
[08:22] <sethrd> JAyRULE: Did you download the ISO or order the disks?
[08:22] <Fr33-> hello
[08:22] <afief> gnomefreak: okay i'm there, now how can i check if the backport is enabled?
[08:23] <f8> thanks gnomefreak...
[08:23] <JAyRULE> i downloaded the iso... i dont think it would be a bad burn because i installed an earlier version of it on a newer system
[08:23] <sethrd> JAyRULE: If you downloaded the ISO, try getting a disk new and reburning it.
[08:23] <f8> also, whats the command to remain sudo?
[08:23] <sethrd> JAyRULE: Using the same disk?
[08:23] <jbroome> f8: sudo -s
[08:23] <btdown> sudo su
[08:23] <Fr33-> i have 1 problem
[08:23] <gnomefreak> afief: the lines that have universe and multiverse in them first make sure no # infront than tell me what they say
[08:23] <Fr33-> i have fuck my Console T_T
[08:23] <gnomefreak> Fr33-: language please
[08:23] <MaCinTof> Hi
[08:23] <Fr33-> sorry
[08:24] <afief> frank23: but it is also a good deal more complicated... if there was a simple way to do it i would, but things like supertux and zsnes were the biggest thing i ever compiled
[08:24] <rybuntu> anyone know how to remove the ubuntu icon next to applications in gnome?
[08:24] <NickGarvey> !tell Fr33- about language
[08:24] <JAyRULE> sethrd/sethrd ... ill retry the same disk on a different pc... ill be back...
[08:24] <JAyRULE> brb
[08:24] <yggdrasil> howhow can i tell how fast my network connection is ?
[08:24] <rybuntu> anyone know how to remove the ubuntu icon next to applications in gnome?
[08:24] <yggdrasil> ie 10mb 100 11
[08:24] <sethrd> Anyone here running an ATI Radeon 87500 Mobility?
[08:24] <sethrd> Er, an ATI Radeon 7500 Mobility that is.
[08:24] <afief> gnomefreak... that's a very long list but there are some #ed lines containing the word "backports"
[08:25] <gnomefreak> afief: paste me everything in that list to pastebin please
[08:25] <afief> sethrd: me running ATI x600 mobility
[08:25] <afief> !pastebin
[08:25] <ubotu> from memory, pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org - Install webboard for easy pasting from the gnome taskbar ,
[08:25] <gnomefreak> brb while your doing that
[08:25] <frank23> afief: I know what you mean. What I do sometimes is if a deb needs one upgraded dependancy, I use a single package from dapper or debian unstable to upgrade it
[08:25] <sethrd> afief: Eh, not nearly the same card. Thanks though.
[08:26] <afief> sethrd: you're welcome, a bad try at paying the community back a bit:)
[08:26] <sfar-ubu> The following packages have been kept back:
[08:26] <sfar-ubu>   hplip-data libtagc0 rfb
[08:26] <sfar-ubu> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 3 not upgraded.
[08:26] <sethrd> afief: It's fine. THanks though.
[08:26] <sfar-ubu> when i typed "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" .. what does that mean?
[08:26] <sfar-ubu> "kept back"
[08:27] <shambling> hi, howto check/edit what kernel modules are loaded from term?
[08:27] <patrick52222> is there good P2P Application for dapper drake
[08:27] <ericsp> hi I upgraded from breezy to dapper and I am facing a problem with libcamel
[08:27] <sethrd> patrick52222: Frostwire.
[08:27] <afief> gnomefreak: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10768
[08:27] <ericsp> anyanone familiar witht that bug?
[08:27] <frank23> afief: dvdstyler has breezy packages! http://dvdstyler.sourceforge.net/wiki/Installation
[08:27] <afief> frank23: so, do you have some tips for compiling not too complicated stuff(not kernel and gnome...)
[08:28] <patrick52222> where do i get  Frostwire
[08:28] <NickGarvey> !frostwire
[08:28] <afief> frank23: weird their main webpage didn't have it
[08:28] <JAyRULE> sethrd/jbroome... i just retried it on a newer system and it reads the disk just fine...
[08:28] <NickGarvey> !tell patrick52222 about frostwire
[08:28] <mojojojo_> ok, now's really important question...  I can't see it or edit... Is there a workaround?
[08:28] <gnomefreak> afief: give me a minute please keep that file open
[08:28] <sethrd> JAyRULE: Is this on a laptop?
[08:29] <frank23> afief: if you wnat to compile a new version of something in the ubuntu repositories,  sudo apt-get build-dep packagename  will get all the build deps
[08:29] <NickGarvey> !tell mojojojo_ about language
[08:29] <twopeak> Ive been trying all day to fix my keyboard to be in the belgian layout. Is there anyone who has some help on this, or should i re-install ubuntu?
[08:29] <ericsp> hi I upgraded from breezy to dapper and I am facing a problem with libcamel
[08:29] <DominusSuus> I'm trying to get DRI working on Dapper flight 5 - I'm getting libGLCore.so errors :(
[08:29] <NickGarvey> twopeak: man setxkbmap
[08:29] <JAyRULE> sethrd.. yeah... i retried it on a laptop and it works fine.. it's not working on an old pc.. 300mhz pc
[08:29] <roast> mojojojo_: you mean it /was/ there, and now it's not?
[08:29] <mojojojo_> ok, now's really important question... I  messed up /etc/sudoers... I can't see it or edit... Is there a workaround? :]
[08:29] <NickGarvey> !tell ericsp about dapper
[08:29] <frank23> afief: if not, the project documentation usually lists the dependancies (-dev packages)  or just install them using the ./configure error messages
[08:30] <JAyRULE> sethrd.. why do u ask.. what would the difference be/
[08:30] <NickGarvey> mojojojo_: use visudo
[08:30] <patrick52222> how do i install frostwire
[08:30] <sethrd> JAyRULE: I'm running on a laptop, and I had to block certian ports when loading the installer.
[08:30] <roast> NickGarvey: will visudo restore the file if it's not there?
[08:30] <afief> frank23: a new version? there is program x version 1.5 in the repo, would apt-get build dep get me ready to install version 2?
[08:30] <mojojojo_> roast,  well it's there, but I edited it and seem to have made mistake...
[08:30] <sethrd> JAyRULE: Not ports, certian IRQs or something or rather. Found it online because I was having issues booting.
[08:31] <JAyRULE> sethrd.. oh it works fine on the laptop.. but im trying to install ubuntu on an old pc..tower...
[08:31] <Xenguy> roast: it prevent the original file from getting screwed up AFAIK
[08:31] <NickGarvey> roast: don't think so, but if it is there which it may be, then it should let him do what he wanted
[08:31] <sethrd> JAyRULE: Right.
[08:31] <void^> JAyRULE: old pcs may have broken cd boot support
[08:31] <roast> Xenguy: yea, that visudo will do. that's what it's there for :)
[08:31] <roast> mojojojo_: when editing /etc/sudoers, always use visudo
[08:31] <frank23> afief: If version 2 uses the same libraries as version 1.5, it would work yeah.
[08:31] <s|k> how do I install a tar?
[08:31] <jbroome> patrick52222: download it from here http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/frostwire/FrostWire-4.10.9-1.i586.deb?download
[08:31] <ericsp> thanks nick
[08:31] <roast> mojojojo_: if you don't want to use vi, set your EDITOR environment variable to your editor of choice
[08:31] <mojojojo_> NickGarvey, no, it says I don't have permission to do that :(
[08:31] <Xenguy> s|k: what app?
[08:32] <gnomefreak> afief: here is a full sources.list to paste in place of yours http://pastebin.com/622027
[08:32] <jbroome> patrick52222: sudo dpkg -i frostwire.deb
[08:32] <JAyRULE> void^> borken cd boot support?  sooo...i cant install it on this system? (the old tower)
[08:32] <s|k> Xenguy: eclipse
[08:32] <Xenguy> s|k: tar xvf tarball <-- to unpack the tarball
[08:32] <void^> JAyRULE: use bootdisks (yes, disks, 3,5", slow, annoying..)
[08:32] <Xenguy> s|k: tar zxvf tarball <-- to unpack the tarball if compressed
[08:32] <JAyRULE> ahh damn
[08:32] <JAyRULE> haha
[08:34] <gnomefreak> f8: to close a single window use /wc  if you didnt already know (you have to be seeing the page you close with that
[08:34] <exigence123> On trying to access a floppy drive while using a live CD - Error: given UDI is not a mountable volume
[08:34] <Xenguy> s|k: BTW I see packages for Eclipse stuff; do: apt-cache search eclipse
[08:34] <exigence123> is there any way to do this?
[08:34] <robertj> ok, I know this is on the list of very bad ideas but is there a way to run two processess & have them share a port & choose which one receives the packets bast on source ip address?
[08:34] <mojojojo_> it's like a deadlock.. in order to edit suders I have to have permission from that file and because it is broken system won't let me in... therefore I can't fix it :(.... any ideas?
[08:34] <eirejah> hello does anyone know where i can hpjis driver ??
[08:34] <s|k> Xenguy: yeah there's a lot, I don't know which to install

[08:34] <Xenguy> s|k: np
[08:34] <f8> thanks gnomefreak
[08:35] <gnomefreak> robertj: im thinking if its on the list of very bad ideas you wont get an answer in here
[08:35] <roast> mojojojo_: oh I see.
[08:35] <gnomefreak> yw f8 i was assuming you closed the terminal to close a window but wasnt sure
[08:35] <roast> mojojojo_: none come to mind right now.
[08:35] <roast> mojojojo_: sorry :\
[08:35] <f8> yeah
[08:36] <roast> mojojojo_: robertj's seems to be worth a try if you have physical access to the machine
[08:36] <gnomefreak> robertj: i would try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic see if they will help you with very bad ideas
[08:36] <ROBOd> hello!
[08:36] <rukuartic> say Hi ROBOd
[08:36] <mojojojo_> roaet, ok, thx... I'll try that.. I just hope it won't use sudoers in that mode either :/
[08:37] <mojojojo_> roast,
[08:37] <Xenguy> mojojojo_: that problem must have been solved before
[08:37] <ROBOd> i have installed french language for my ubuntu system
[08:37] <ROBOd> and when i logon ... i get the error: fr_FR.UTF-8 not found
[08:37] <ROBOd> using system default
[08:37] <ROBOd> what to do?
[08:37] <pedro> hi, i installed manually JRE and now firefox crashes. I made link from /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so to the java directory. Any ideas ?
[08:37] <JAyRULE> void^: wait a sec, im on the ubuntu website and i dont see anything about boot disks... how would i create them?
[08:38] <ROBOd> i got lang-pack-fr lang-pack-support-fr lang-pack-gnome-fr(-base)
[08:38] <roast> Xenguy: it has. visudo
[08:38] <ROBOd> suggestions?
[08:38] <patrick52222> i just installed frostwire, when i click it it doesnt load up
[08:38] <graveson> what is the daemon for starting up the raid devices
[08:38] <gnomefreak> !raid
[08:38] <ubotu> raid is, like, totally, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaidConfigurationHowto
[08:38] <frank23> ROBOd: je sais pas mais tu peux essayer  #ubuntu-fr  /  #kubuntu-fr  aussi
[08:38] <Xenguy> roast: I mean a solution after locking out sudoers
[08:39] <Xenguy> roast: or can visudo solve that too?
[08:39] <Unity> can someone look at this apt-get problem: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10769 i am unable to install anything i always get this problem
[08:39] <gnomefreak> lol @ frank23 he speaks english pretty well
[08:39] <ROBOd> frank23: thanks
[08:39] <roast> Xenguy: I don't think so..
[08:39] <roast> Xenguy: the point is that visudo is supposed to protect against it, the very same way warnings work.
[08:40] <gnomefreak> Unity: can you paste your /etc/apt/sources.list file on pastebin please
[08:40] <Xenguy> roast: there has to be a workaround recovery for that kind of problem, hrm
[08:40] <JAyRULE> is there a way to create boot disks for ubuntu?
[08:40] <roast> Xenguy: it'll be a security risk
[08:40] <linuxel> Hello
[08:40] <Xenguy> roast: I suppose so
[08:40] <ROBOd> gnomefreak: true, i'm romanian, i first learned english. i, of course, and nore i'm in the process of learning french (hence i want to use ubuntu in french :) )
[08:40] <gnomefreak> ;)
[08:41] <patrick52222> i just installed frostwire, when i click it it doesnt load up does anyone know why
[08:41] <frank23> ROBOd: Oh. I just assumed you were French
[08:41] <Xenguy> mojojojo_: can you use the install cd to boot into recovery mode, or some approach like that?
[08:41] <ROBOd> frank23: pas problme :)
[08:41] <chiboogi> quelle langue on parle ici ?
[08:42] <NickGarvey> :)
[08:42] <Xenguy> !tell mojojojo_ about rescue
[08:42] <Xenguy> mojojojo_: NOTE: I don't know for sure that this will work; it's just an idea to explore
[08:42] <frank23> chiboogi: english. there are other channels for other languages

[08:43] <jackson_> how do I update GNOME to 2.14 with synaptic?
[08:43] <gnomefreak> jackson_: in breezy?
[08:43] <jackson_> yes
[08:43] <gnomefreak> jackson_: you cant
[08:44] <jackson_> all right
[08:44] <jackson_> thanks
[08:44] <gnomefreak> jackson_: and if you try compiling it you will more than likely run into major issues

[08:45] <Armagguedes> hello
[08:45] <f8> gnome, how do i minimize then get back to irssi?
[08:45] <Armagguedes> does Breezy work well w/ an Intel/PRO 2200BG wifi card out of the box?
[08:45] <gnomefreak> f8: minimize what?
[08:45] <f8> so that i can get back to my command line...
[08:46] <roast> Armagguedes: it should. Warty worked fine with my 2915 card out of the box
[08:46] <rukuartic> gnomefreak: Eh... what's 5.10? Breezy?
[08:46] <roast> Armagguedes: haven't used my 2915 in Breezy yet.
[08:46] <Xenguy> f8: Ctrl-Z, or just use 'screen'
[08:46] <afief> gnomefreak, i copied your list, first it gave me errors about the numbering. after #ing all the numbers i still get an error
[08:46] <fiendskull9> is there any kind of gamespy/xfire chat and server browasing client for linux?
[08:46] <gnomefreak> yes rukuartic
[08:46] <roast> I take it back. Hoary, not Warty.
[08:46] <f8> how do i get back after ctrl+z?
[08:46] <Xenguy> f8: (I mean learn to use screen)
[08:46] <roast> f8: fg for foreground
[08:46] <rukuartic> fiendskull9: I don't know, you can use wine though
[08:46] <afief> gnomefreak: E: Malformed line 130 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist)
[08:46] <Xenguy> f8: fg
[08:46] <gnomefreak> f8 dont know what ctrl z does never used it
[08:46] <Xenguy> f8: (for 'foreground')
[08:47] <roast> Xenguy: :P
[08:47] <rukuartic> gnomefreak: ctrl z is the same as (almost) <command> &
[08:47] <f8> thanks..
[08:47] <fiendskull9> rukuartic, but wine doesnt work for xfire, as xfire immediately minimizes to task bar
[08:47] <Xenguy> gnomefreak: suspends a job on the command-line
[08:47] <fiendskull9> and gamespy will try and launch c:/programfiles?game
[08:47] <gnomefreak> afief: dont copy the part with the numbers just look under that you will see the part that looks like where i pasted and paste that
[08:47] <Xenguy> roast: heh, now I see it
[08:47] <fiendskull9> not the linux command
[08:47] <rukuartic> fiendskull9: Run winecfg, tell it to put the program in the taskbar.
[08:47] <JoeMorris> Do you Ubuntu? (c)Canonical
[08:47] <gnomefreak> Xenguy: ty
[08:47] <Xenguy> roast: but you have 10 fingers =)
[08:47] <fiendskull9> ok
[08:47] <Xenguy> gnomefreak: yw
[08:48] <roast> Xenguy: actually, I was only using 5 because I had my book open, and had to keep my page :)
[08:48] <Xenguy> roast: bah :P
[08:48] <roast> Xenguy: but heh
[08:48] <MrPockets> noob Q: how do i use the floppy drive?

[08:49] <rukuartic> Anyone know a good application to make tidy and clean looking graphs for web viewing? (Eg: System statistics like CPU/XFer etc)
[08:49] <nny> error 16 in grub
[08:49] <NickGarvey> nny: did you delete the linux partition?
[08:49] <Armagguedes> can someone tell me of a couple of guides to bringf a fresh (k)ubuntu install up to speed? (repos/tweaks/that sorto f thiung)
[08:49] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell nny about grub
[08:49] <gnomefreak> nny: that should tell you what the error is and help you fix it
[08:50] <roast> huh. I just realized how ubuntu's versioning system works.
[08:50] <gnomefreak> year/month
[08:50] <roast> year.number-of-month
[08:50] <nny> NickGarvey: no... gotta dual boot.. not new to linux, chrooted into the old root partition and trying to reinstall grub to the mbr
[08:50] <roast> that's weird though..
[08:50] <roast> gnomefreak: what happens in 2014?
[08:50] <Xenguy> roast: different, but seems to work alright
[08:50] <gnomefreak> 14.04
[08:50] <gnomefreak> or 4.04
[08:50] <nny> looking over ubotu stuff
[08:51] <roast> gnomefreak: hm.. 14.04 works
[08:51] <themachine> what ports do I usually need to forward for my ftp server?
[08:51] <xerxez> is splashscreen the thing that shows when it boots up?
[08:51] <themachine> 21 isn't working..
[08:51] <big> oh yeah, im going to see that tonight also
[08:51] <gnomefreak> xerxez: splash screen = the little thing when gnome loads

[08:52] <roast> themachine: you need to forward 21 and a range of data ports for ftp to work
[08:52] <NickGarvey> themachine: put on 20 also
[08:53] <Xenguy> NickGarvey: point taken (but sometimes it is not so busy in the channel)
[08:53] <big> I have a presario 2100 with ati igp320m video card...i cant get any display on my laptops lcd, i am using a secondary monitor to be able to trouble shoot...i am currently on ubuntu, any ideas on how i can get my display working?
[08:53] <xerxez> gnomefreak, okey, so it's the the ubuntu logo and the status of the boot?!? what's that called then? somehow it didn't show up after i reconfigured the new kernel
[08:53] <roast> themachine: if you're using proftpd, look up PassivePorts
[08:53] <gnomefreak> xerxez: usplash iirc
[08:53] <MrPockets> i made the changes the site on !floppy told me to, but how to i exit :-X
[08:53] <big> msg me if you have any ideas
[08:53] <NickGarvey> roast: do you know how well proftpd handles passive connections?  vsftpd it won't work for me
[08:53] <xerxez> gnomefreak, oh my.. you know where in menuconfig i can find it?
[08:54] <ruzgar> how can i make a .deb package from a .sh file?
[08:54] <gnomefreak> xerxez: you cant :( iirc
[08:54] <roast> NickGarvey: it works fine with the passiveport range defined.  I've never had any luck with proftpd and port 20
[08:54] <georgy> big ; try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:54] <rukuartic> I'm planning to install Ubuntu on an unpartitioned hard drive with windows, and I'd like to be able to dual boot without reformatting. When I install ubuntu, will it take over the boot loader with GRUB?
[08:54] <xerxez> gnomefreak, okey..
[08:54] <NickGarvey> well I guess I'll try it then
[08:54] <gnomefreak> ruzgar: you run .sh files not install
[08:54] <roast> NickGarvey: hey, it took me 5 years to figure it out :)
[08:54] <nny> so yeah.. i guess a grub-install would work.... not sure what broke it... filesystem is readable by livecd...
[08:54] <georgy> big : then you can change your configuration
[08:54] <RyanB> If anyone has a minute, I am having tourble mounting my ntfs and fat32 harddrives and i could use some help
[08:54] <NickGarvey> rukuartic: yes if you tell it too, but if you don't tehn you will only be able to boot windows
[08:54] <roast> NickGarvey: the annoying thing was the 21/20 + proftpd combo worked 25% of the time for that period.
[08:55] <MrPockets> NickGarvey, how do i save the changes i just made?
[08:55] <rukuartic> NickGarvey: So when you drop the CD in the box, it'll ask you if you want to dual boot, and if you tell it yes it'll take over the boot process?
[08:55] <NickGarvey> roast: mm well I guess I'll play
[08:55] <NickGarvey> MrPockets: to what?
[08:55] <MrPockets> i followed the steps on the !floppy site
[08:55] <big> nick garvey?
