[09:07] <foolfromhell> It loaded the blue screen with the option to text-install it, but I dont know much about it
[09:07] <variant> astonerbum: from the link i showed you it would seem that that card does not have much more support than that which you already have

[09:08] <uniconformist> where are the repositories?
[09:08] <bobstro> berent:  rsync only sends the differences between files, so slow first time, very fast the 2nd. it's not a ROTATION scheme though. so consider what you really need.

[09:09] <Madpilot> pyrak, have you checked the linuxprinting.org website for info on your printer?

[09:09] <uniconformist> Myrtti: i'm not using linux right now.
[09:09] <bobstro> berent:  well, if you accidentally screw up a file, then two weeks later realize it, you can get that file back with a rotation scheme.

[09:16] <astonerbum> t-rock: seems so...
[09:16] <bobstro> berent:  to restore, you'd need something like a live/boot cd. then you could copy it back from the backup.

[09:18] <theconartist> can it be harmfull the the hardware to run off the hard-drive on which the os was insalled on a different hardware setup?
[09:18] <bobstro> berent:  this works for casual stuff, but not what you'd depend your job on.
[09:18] <astonerbum> erm
[09:18] <astonerbum> hmm
[09:18] <bobstro> berent:  boot the cd on the system you're restoring. then use that to copy files back from the backup.
[09:18] <Madpilot> uniconformist, interesting, but "incorporating software from the Ubuntu Dapper package pools." doesn't equal "uses the actual Ubuntu repos"

[09:29] <predaeus> astonerbum, I would say easiest to begin would be to reboot and disable the other card in bios if possible, probably alsa would detect the other card automatically and it will just work. if not we'll have to see, I am no alsa guru though :-)

[09:32] <UDZGuru> everytime i start pureadmin i got to enter the password
[09:32] <predaeus> zcat[1] , esd seems deprecated
[09:32] <bobstro> indrek:  your INTERNET connection is on your lan?
[09:32] <ALL4N> hey, I tried to create two partitions on my external drive (/dev/sda1) using fdisk. When I do a 'p' in fdisk, it shows to partitions, namely sda1p1 and sda1p2. However, in /dev/,  there is only /dev/sda1.. how come?
[09:32] <UDZGuru> is there a way to reconfigure sudo, so i can start pureadmin without entering the password?
[09:32] <bobstro> ALL4N:  are they formatted?
[09:33] <zcat[1] > astonerbum: err hang on.. there's a way to change the default sound device in system config somewhere..
[09:33] <zie> im on web channel
[09:33] <ALL4N> bobstro: I used mkfs on them if that what you mean
[09:33] <bobstro> zie:  also #accessible
[09:33] <ALL4N> or rather, I can't makefs on them
[09:33] <ALL4N> because they are only /dev/sda1
[09:33] <zcat[1] > UDZGuru: yes.. /etc/sudoers .. there's a man page for it too.. man sudoers
[09:33] <bobstro> ALL4N:  that's just one partition
[09:34] <UDZGuru> okay i'll see. and if i need more assistance i'll come back
[09:34] <jhongy> Can anyone recommend a decent graphical diff viewer?
[09:34] <Schalken> where can i change my monitor's gamma?
[09:34] <jean> hi
[09:34] <predaeus> UDZGuru, probably make a backup of that file, some people had serious issues with login in after messing it up
[09:34] <bobstro> zie:  try #accessible, look for erstazi
[09:34] <ALL4N> bobstro: when I do 'fdisk -l' it only shows /dev/sda1
[09:34] <dpreacher> can anyone help me with a problem with 64-bit edgy eft on dell inspiron notebook installation problem please?
[09:34] <predaeus> UDZGuru, I mean, before you change it...
[09:34] <UDZGuru> thx. i'll do so
[09:34] <jean> when i try to change the host name of my pc i get "the default gateway ip  adress is invalid"
[09:34] <bobstro> ALL4N:  sounds like only 1 partition "took" then.
[09:34] <jean> ???
[09:35] <Schalken> jhongy: kdiff (or was it kompare?) if you are on kde. there is one that was the debian package of the day for gnome, it was on planet.ubuntu.com
[09:35] <ALL4N> bobstro: 'took'?  but when I do 'p' in fdisk they are both listed
[09:35] <Schalken> dpreacher: just ask, dont ask to ask.
[09:35] <Myrtti> astonerbum: did you get any help
[09:35] <dpreacher> i am sorry
[09:35] <astonerbum> Myrtti: ok heres the situation
[09:35] <k00kla>  ????!!!!!!!!!!!!
[09:36] <astonerbum> Myrtti: i have a built-in MB sound card
[09:36] <astonerbum> Myrtti: and a audigy sound card
[09:36] <Myrtti> astonerbum: I was just doing some eggs and chicken and figured out that it could be also about missing codecs?
[09:36] <astonerbum> Myrtti: ALSA wants to output to my MB sound card, not audigy
[09:36] <Myrtti> oh
[09:36] <doc__> Riddell: hi there :)
[09:36] <kent_> hey
[09:36] <Myrtti> astonerbum: I see.
[09:36] <zie> i found him
[09:36] <kent_>  can someone help me again
[09:36] <DanaG> blacklist the onboard sound card's module if you never want to use that sound card.
[09:36] <nonlinear> i've been trying to boot/install fiesty and think i have issues with acpi and pcmcia conflict... anyhow, i was using acpi=off and now my fan runs constantly in xp...  lol does this make any sense?  how can i fix it?  if u can help, please pvt (on web seeking solutions to another prob lol)
[09:37] <kent_> can someone help me with my filesystem problem

[09:37] <Schalken> lol
[09:37] <kent_> i am an administrator
[09:38] <clever> kent_: is it mounted?
[09:38] <kent_> and it wont let me access a partition i made
[09:38] <kent_> yess
[09:38] <astonerbum> zcat[1]  what controls that? i not sure what option that is...
[09:38] <Schalken> kent_: where is it mounted?
[09:38] <ALL4N> bobstro: oh, I wonder if it was wrong I did fdisk /dev/sda1, perhaps I should do fdisk /dev/sda instead
[09:38] <clever> no idea then some1 else can help...:S
[09:38] <kent_> i am in gparted right now and it says its /dev/hdd4
[09:38] <astonerbum> zcat[1]  default mixer track?
[09:38] <predaeus> kent_, is the directory you mounted at readable by you?
[09:39] <bobstro> ALL4N:  i suspect so!
[09:39] <k00kla>  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[09:39] <kent_> do you mean my home dir?
[09:39] <jaims> hello
[09:39] <Myrtti> !english | k00kla
[09:39] <jaims> one question
[09:39] <ubotu> k00kla: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are english only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[09:39] <kent_> i dont think so
[09:39] <jaims> in 'file browser' i typed ssh://xxxxx
[09:39] <predaeus> or executable, not sure which one allows directory access
[09:39] <dpreacher> i downloaded and burnt the iso of 64 bit edgy eft to a CD after checkin the MD5 and the CD boots up fine on the dell notebook and it gives the initial menu to start ubuntu or start bootin from hard disk etc. after pressing enter for the first menu option the graphical booting starts but the ubuntu logo comes as  grayscale and the progress bar just slides left to right n right to left and it...
[09:39] <dpreacher> ...goes indefinitely. nothing comes up further ahead
[09:39] <zcat[1] > astonerbum: it's built into gnome or something, I don't know... other option is to force the audigy driver to load first by putting it in /etc/modules (I think that still works) or put the mobo driver in blacklist..
[09:39] <kent_> do i change something in user accts?
[09:39] <jaims> but i misstyped the password, but asked to 'remember passwd always'
[09:40] <glick> what the heck happened to my beryl 3d-desktop i cant seem to start it again
[09:40] <jaims> how do i correct the password?
[09:40] <glick> armagaton crashed and i had to ctrl-alt-backspace
[09:40] <glick> to get out of it

[09:41] <glick> it doesnt make it 3d anymore
[09:41] <tondar> guys enabled the desktop effects on feisty, could I use some compiz themes now??
[09:41] <predaeus> dpreacher, I think there is an option to have the cd checked in that boot menu. maybe it is faulty
[09:42] <dpreacher> i did check for faults but no error showed up
[09:42] <zcat[1] > !blacklist | astonerbum

[09:44] <glick> the nvidia logo is off centered

[09:46] <sobersabre> hi guys. I have inittab Q.
[09:46] <sobersabre> I know ubuntu doesn't have one.
[09:46] <sobersabre> I would like to discuss the following:
[09:46] <sobersabre> when /sbin/sulogin is invoked in ubuntu, anmd root has ! in the shadow
[09:46] <nonlinear> i've been trying to boot/install fiesty and think i have issues with acpi and pcmcia conflict... anyhow, i was using acpi=off and now my fan runs constantly in xp...  lol does this make any sense?  how can i fix it?  if u can help, please pvt (on web seeking solutions to another prob lol)
[09:47] <sobersabre> why doesn
[09:47] <sobersabre> 't
[09:47] <sobersabre> the sulogin program ask for a password and then doesn't fail ?
[09:47] <sobersabre> is it a special ubuntuish sulogin ?
[09:47] <Roor> yes
[09:47] <Roor> i think :)
[09:47] <sobersabre> how come isn't authentication mechanism bypassed ?
[09:48] <predaeus> nonlinear, did you try to boot once with acpi=on and then see if it fixes windows again?
[09:48] <sobersabre> Roor: I'd like to hear something... more convincing... :)
[09:48] <sobersabre> Roor: do you know whom shall I ask...
[09:48] <mrynit> im on debian now with gnome. will the hot keys for window actions be the same on ubuntu with gnome
[09:48] <sobersabre> I am not talking about sudo.
[09:48] <sobersabre> Roor: thank you.
[09:48] <Roor> :-/ sorry
[09:49] <nonlinear> predaeus:  thanks for the help.  i was just thinking of trying that, but didn't get around to it :)  can you explain to me how these settings in linux install can affect my whole system?
[09:49] <nonlinear> are these bios settings or windows files?
[09:49] <sobersabre> soo... on Debian /sbin/sulogin asks for a password. and this is how you "protect single mode"
[09:49] <jordan> help: I mounted some partitions of another drive and now I cannot access files or write to the disk
[09:49] <Roor> im trying to install the latest nvidia drivers, and it fails saying x server is running, any help? :)
[09:49] <sobersabre> but on Debian root has a valid password, thus is capable of pam authentication.....
[09:49] <Flannel> sobersabre: single user mode will ask for a password if you set a root password.
[09:50] <Flannel> sobersabre: but, really.  If they have hardware access, you have no security.  But you can set a root password to prevent rescue mode login
[09:50] <sobersabre> Flannel, I am actually asking: how come it doesn't ask for a password, when the password is invalid (!/*)
[09:50] <sobersabre> ?>
[09:50] <sobersabre> any insights  ?
[09:50] <Flannel> sobersabre: because the account is locked,
[09:50] <predaeus> nonlinear, actually I have no idea, would be bios settings then though. No idea how linux is changing the bios settings there though.
[09:51] <sobersabre> Flannel: you're using ... these words, "locked", "disabled", but hell, there's a routine authentication going on.
[09:51] <sobersabre> somebody has to say "
[09:51] <Flannel> sobersabre: try locking the root account in debian, and see if single user mode will log you in
[09:51] <jaims> so, anyone knows, how to change the password for ssh access?
[09:51] <Roor> I am trying to install the latest nvidia drivers, and i get "you appear to be running an X server; please exit X before installing".. ive tried it in repair mode too no luck
[09:51] <sobersabre> Flannel: do you know the answer ?
[09:51] <Myrtti> grub password
[09:51] <sobersabre> I mean the result ...
[09:51] <sobersabre> ?
[09:52] <Myrtti> I've got bios password
[09:52] <predaeus> Roor, you probably should stick to the drivers from the repositories and just wait for an update.
[09:52] <nonlinear> predaeus:  yea, i've read it's a bios setting but  i don't have that option in my bios.  i thought it would be weird for a simple command in linux install to have such major impact on entire system LOL
[09:52] <predaeus> Roor, do you really need the newest drivers?
[09:52] <Flannel> jaims: change your user password
[09:52] <nonlinear> anhow, i'm gonna try it now, i'll be back cause i've got more issues :)
[09:52] <astonerbum> ill be back, hopefuly a reboot will solve this problme now :)
[09:52] <Roor> predaeus: i probably should stick to them, but id like to learn, and for some reason when I install them... im not getting good results
[09:52] <Flannel> sobersabre: No, there's no authentication going on.  The root account is locked, so it just logs you in to single user mode without it.
[09:52] <Roor> (have tried)

[09:53] <jaims> bye all
[09:58] <predaeus> Roor, you would have to bring down the x server first to do that. but it is really recommended to stick to the repository version as this can lead to your x server not starting on next reboot sometimes. and also it will overwrite/mess with the repository version installed (maybe uninstall that first). to bring down X you can hit ctrl-alt-f1, login then run "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop" then run your nvidia install script and afterwards restart X with "sud
[09:58] <predaeus> o /etc/init.d/gdm start"  if it does not automatically swtich to the gdm login screen, hit ALT-f7 to do so.
[10:00] <papodaca> when is the new kernel come out????!
[10:00] <MenZa> !kernel
[10:00] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[10:00] <compengi> why do you want a new kernel?
[10:00] <papodaca> @kernel
[10:00] <bloodMuffin> how do i install mplayer through synaptic?
[10:01] <Madpilot> papodaca, when the new version of Ubuntu comes out - October
[10:01] <papodaca> no....
[10:01] <papodaca> the update the kernel some times
[10:01] <papodaca> *they
[10:01] <predaeus> bloodMuffin, hit ctrl-f  then enter mplayer and enter.
[10:01] <predaeus> bloodMuffin, you could also install with the Add/Remove application.
[10:02] <predaeus> bloodMuffin, or per command line, with "sudo apt-get install mplayer"
[10:02] <compengi> madbrain, go to system>admistration>synamptic>then click on search and enter mplayer
[10:02] <compengi> Madpilot, *
[10:02] <predaeus> bloodMuffin, after searching for it in synaptic with ctrl-f you can tick it for installation and then apply.
[10:02] <compengi> you could do that through the terminal
[10:02] <compengi> ;)
[10:03] <bloodMuffin> hm i did isntall through synaptic once but whenever i tried to play a file it would error on me
[10:04] <bloodMuffin> it gives fatal error : Error opening/initializing the selected video_out(-vo) device.
[10:04] <predaeus> bloodMuffin, that is probably due to wrong video output settings for mplayer. yes that is
[10:04] <predaeus> bloodMuffin, try running it from a terminal like "mplayer -vo x11 filename"
[10:04] <predaeus> bloodMuffin, see "man mplayer" for different -vo options
[10:05] <predaeus> there is also -ao for audio out options
[10:05] <Roor> predaeus: thank you, going to try now, sent you a pm, appreciate iT!
[10:05] <Tarkus> anyone know why some of my programs stay in the taskbar on all workspaces?

[10:07] <bloodMuffin> predaeus: i used the command you gave me, but it plays sound only, and no video window shows up
[10:07] <herbaliser> how can i change my screen resolution, i can only set it as high as 1027X768
[10:07] <predaeus> Tarkus, if it is a gnome-panel setting then right click on the window list on the panel and scan the options for something that would show windows from all desktops. else it might be compiz or beryl that you are running, if so ask in #ubuntu-effects  they know for sure
[10:08] <herbaliser> i also changed the xorg.conf file
[10:09] <nonlinear> i can't load initrd from cd... can't boot, install, or even validate the CD... can anyone help?
[10:09] <predaeus> bloodMuffin, I am not sure but if a window appears then the -vo option should be ok. probably a codec that mplayer can only play the audio of. not sure. do you know if the video works in linux? you could also try other players like  totem, vlc, etc.
[10:09] <predaeus> !codecs > bloodMuffin   (please see the private message of ubotu for details on codecs)
[10:09] <fitzyofoz> Hi all
[10:09] <herbaliser> hi
[10:09] <nonlinear> predaeus: acpi=off worked
[10:10] <bloodMuffin> predaeus: yea ive opened the file with totem and vlc, however totem messes up the time counter so my subs wont play
[10:10] <nonlinear> :)
[10:10] <predaeus> nonlinear, *g* funny
[10:10] <nonlinear> totally
[10:10] <nonlinear> thanks
[10:10] <predaeus> nonlinear, but now linux is messed again or not?
[10:10] <DarthShrine> I have a CX23880 chipset TV card and would like to use VLC to stream it to another computer, but first, how would I find out the device name?
[10:10] <herbaliser> anybody can help me on changing screen resolution?
[10:10] <fitzyofoz> I've never logged into IRC before so bear with me
[10:10] <predaeus> bloodMuffin, vlc works great with subs
[10:10] <nonlinear> predaeus: i can't install linux cause can't load initrd.gz from the CD... the only way is the WABI installer, but i'm trying to do a real install
[10:10] <astonerbum> Hey guys thanks for the help, i got it working
[10:11] <nonlinear> i think i'm having problems buring CD or DVD, they never pass Nero validation even when burning at 1X in xp safe mode
[10:11] <bloodMuffin> predaeus: yea the subs work in vlc, but the sound has a squeaky feel to it
[10:12] <insmod> nonlinear: what is nero?
[10:12] <fitzyofoz> @herbaliser System menu-> preferences -> Screen Resolution
[10:12] <predaeus> nonlinear, oh, did you try verifying the md5 checksum? compare the one generated on your .iso with the ones written on the ubuntu donwload page to see if the iso is ok.
[10:12] <bloodMuffin> predaeus: i was hoping mplayer would deal with both the subs and the sound would play well
[10:12] <nonlinear> insmod: nero is a cd/dvd burning utility
[10:12] <predaeus> astonerbum, cool
[10:12] <herbaliser> fitzyofoz that i know but i what to raise the resolution can only choose 1024x768
[10:12] <nonlinear> predaeus: yeap, md5s all check out
[10:12] <fitzyofoz> ahh, you need to edit you xorg.conf file
[10:12] <insmod> nonlinear: ah
[10:12] <fitzyofoz> and dd the resolutions
[10:12] <fitzyofoz> add
[10:13] <CoF> my RAID 0 shows up as 2 hardrives, how do I fix?
[10:13] <nonlinear> wait... is it possible to calculate a checksum for a burned CD
[10:13] <herbaliser> did that still doesn't show up
[10:13] <melchior> how do I free the swap? I have 200/1024 system memory used and 400/2048 swap used
[10:13] <predaeus> nonlinear, hm no idea then sorry. I think there is a "check cd" option in the boot menu of the cd
[10:13] <fitzyofoz> what sort of card
[10:13] <nonlinear> insmod: don't worry about nero, it's jsut crappy spyware bloatwaer these days
[10:13] <nonlinear> heh
[10:13] <astonerbum> Turns out the following problems: WAVE was muted for my SoundBlaster card (dont know why) and my other card was taking over. So I disabled it by commenting it's loading out in /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base (snd-via23xx) (anyone with a K8V may need to do this)
[10:14] <astonerbum> and obviously unmuting the wave
[10:14] <nonlinear> predaeus: yea, htere is a checkCD option, however I can't load it cause it requires initrd be loaded first LOL
[10:14] <predaeus> nonlinear, oh, I feared so...
[10:14] <nonlinear> yea
[10:14] <mike01gr_> hi
[10:14] <nonlinear> I can burn a cd tommorrow at work,
[10:14] <nonlinear> just swant it now... is there any way I could make an uncompressed DVD and install from that?
[10:15] <nonlinear> cause the problems are with uncompressing (i think)
[10:15] <herbaliser> fitzyofoz send you message
[10:15] <herbaliser> card is 6800 XT
[10:15] <fitzyofoz> in that case can you send me you're xorg.conf

[10:21] <essdeekay> I had to reset my MBR using a Vista CD, but now my Ubuntu live CD can't see a couple of ext3 partitions I had
[10:21] <Ranpha1> herbaliser open your ports
[10:21] <predaeus> nonlinear, sounds interesting, but mind that if this messes your boot sector up you will be stuck without windows and without linux. you can fix that with the windows cd though.
[10:21] <essdeekay> What's the easiest way to reset my MBR from within Linux, gain access to the partitions and then reset the entire drive to unallocated space?
[10:22] <Cpander>   !
[10:22] <Ranpha1> essdeekay : use supergrub

[10:23] <fitzyofoz> no worries, is herbaliser you're handle on the forums
[10:24] <Ranpha1> mrynit maybe it better to choose a linux that's better for your PC. Ubuntu need some resources. I find my laptop 1ghz 128mb too slow for ubuntu .
[10:24] <nonlinear> predaeus:  thanks for the caution!  i've got the mbr backed up tho, in acronis
[10:24] <herbaliser> fitzyofoz havent registered on forum
[10:24] <mrynit> it was xubuntu

[10:26] <bloodMuffin> when i play a video in vlc during fight scenes the impacts sound horrible
[10:26] <XZC> Hi, i have a problem when installing... I get a HDC error, I testedwith 2 computers, 2 HDDs same error on both, noone of them are Iable to install XP on... 1ghz and 450mHz. Im getting frustrated
[10:27] <fitzyofoz> Should be there momentarily
[10:27] <essdeekay> Any way to work out my hard disk model from within Linux - say from a log file or something?
[10:27] <ph> essdeekay: dmesg
[10:27] <predaeus> bloodMuffin, look for an equalizer in the audio options
[10:28] <essdeekay> ph: Thanks
[10:28] <bloodMuffin> predaeus: which equalizer setting would help?
[10:29] <tarelerulz> I upgrade to 2.6.20 kernel and I was wondering what is good about it ? anyone has anything to say
[10:29] <nonlinear> does anyone know if there is a step by step guide to configure wireless network?  it appeared to me to be set up correctly, and i was connected, but couldn't get past the gateway
[10:30] <MindOfChaos> So what do people think about Ubuntu being preinstalled on dell computers
[10:30] <MindOfChaos> As a option
[10:30] <Myrtti> tis cool.
[10:30] <tarelerulz> I hope Dell does it . I mean the more people that try linux out the better.
[10:31] <ph> does anybody know if there is a possibility to get a wlan-mananger like the one from windows for ubuntu (automaticaly connect to a wlan if its reachable etc., select the wlan from gui)?
[10:31] <Myrtti> tarelerulz: they are
[10:31] <MindOfChaos> http://searchenterpriselinux.techtarget.com/originalContent/0,289142,sid39_gci1253364,00.html
[10:31] <herbaliser> Dell is going to shipp ubuntu and that's great hope other will follow
[10:31] <tarelerulz> Nice I might get one .
[10:31] <Ix0s> MindOfChaos, I think it will make many people reliase that microsoft aint all so great :)
[10:31] <wedontneed> i couldnt install my nvidia driver i wrote: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common this. But then i cant do anything?
[10:31] <MindOfChaos> yea
[10:31] <MindOfChaos> yes
[10:31] <predaeus> bloodMuffin, no idea, or maybe if it is like giving nasty spikes then it might be too loud, probably inthe alsamixer settings or soemthing, like overshooting or something
[10:31] <MindOfChaos> It is awesome news
[10:31] <herbaliser> they did a survey for it with customers in 70 % prefered the option
[10:31] <ph> MindOfChaos: if they don't bill anything for install and ship ubuntu its great
[10:31] <tarelerulz> I just upgrade to 6.10 to 7.04 and  beryl  don't work and some other stuff
[10:32] <MindOfChaos> oh
[10:32] <MindOfChaos> Beryl works on mine
[10:32] <the_sultan> i just added a line to my sources.list file but keep getting the error : E: malformed line 6 in source list
[10:32] <MindOfChaos> just follow the instructions on the Beryl website
[10:32] <essdeekay> ph: That'll be the thing - depends how much extra they charge for the Ubuntu option ... I seriously doubt it'll be free...
[10:32] <bloodMuffin> predaeus: yea at all the fight scenes the impacts sound like if my speakers were blown or something, but they dont when i play with other media players
[10:32] <ph> essdeekay: yes
[10:33] <fitzyofoz> wedontneed - there's one more step that you need to do after installing the packages
[10:33] <the_sultan> can somebody help me with adding a line to my sources.list file
[10:33] <Ix0s> Even if it isnt free it will be alot cheaper than Vista install
[10:33] <predaeus> bloodMuffin, maybe tweak  Settings/Preferences/Audio/Defaul audio volume
[10:33] <tarelerulz> So what is so great about 2.6.20 kernel. ?
[10:33] <Roor> predaeus:  i took advice and installed the drivers in the ubuntu update for nvidia, but when I reboot, it says it cannot find the display, and I have to replace the xorg.conf
[10:33] <wedontneed> fitzyofoz: then i dont know i will i do i couldnt understand can i explain me? pls
[10:33] <oldude67> i have a stupid question, is anyone in the linux world trying to get a uni based down loader going ??? so that if its in one form it will switch it to another?
[10:33] <Ix0s> Anyhows I was messing about on vista yesterday, and after using beryl it just looks like an exact copy of beryl's effects -_-
[10:34] <sivaji> how to check my kernel version
[10:34] <hylje> Ix0s: no wobbly
[10:34] <fitzyofoz> yep, just getting the exact command
[10:34] <Roor> ix0s: besides the cube? ;p
[10:34] <xjkx> i want php4 ;/
[10:34] <fitzyofoz> jump to a terminal and type sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[10:34] <fitzyofoz> that should do it
[10:34] <xjkx> php5 uses apache2 thing
[10:35] <_rd_> i'm having probs getting distcc going between breezy lappie and fiesty server
[10:35] <Ix0s> I dont mean about wobbly and cube, just mean like live previews on taskbar, alt+tab thing, programs like fading in, its a really OBVIOUS copy!
[10:35] <Roor> fitz: i get an error that says it cannot proceed automatically, x config has been altered, gives me "md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum" to do instead, which i have done before with the same results
[10:35] <mrynit> it was the screen saver that got me. running the update fine now. no errors!!
[10:36] <Ix0s> But beryl is still better than that, plus its slow as hell vista! took about 2 mins to load the desktop -_-
[10:36] <Roor> ix0s: i hate the word copy :(
[10:36] <fitzyofoz> hmm, what version of Ubuntu are you running
[10:36] <Ix0s> Roor, Hehe,
[10:36] <Gyro54> What is the equivalent to Ghost?
[10:36] <Ix0s> Anyway that was a little off topic ill shut up now :)
[10:37] <Roor> fitx: feisty, i got the live cd and installed off that
[10:37] <the_sultan> fitzy im having the same prob here atm with edgy
[10:37] <tondar> installed avant window navigator how would I run it ??
[10:37] <Irek> hello
[10:37] <oldude67> Ixos: i had a p4 built and told them to leave the hard drive blank when they asked me if i wanted vista
[10:37] <tondar> plz help me
[10:37] <sivaji> sivaji@sivaji-desktop:~$ firefox
[10:37] <sivaji> (firefox-bin:5587): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "qtengine",
[10:37] <fitzyofoz> In feisty you should be able to use the restricted drivers manager
[10:37] <Irek> can I ask U
[10:37] <melchior> anyone else listen to mcplusplus?
[10:38] <tondar> how do I run the avant window manager?
[10:38] <predaeus> Roor, hm I've no idea sorry, ubuntu updates should work fine. try reinstalling, or uninstalling/installing etc.
[10:38] <Irek> Is anyone there
[10:38] <melchior> avant?
[10:38] <adam> sielu
[10:38] <tondar> yeha
[10:38] <tondar> yeah
[10:38] <tarelerulz> do any of you know where the berly config file is ?
[10:38] <tondar> the window manager tool "avant"
[10:38] <melchior> tondar: usually if it doesn't show up in gdm, your need to exec it from .xsession
[10:38] <predaeus> bloodMuffin, did that help?
[10:39] <fitzyofoz> edgy in the other hand, after the sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx, you should be able to run sudo nvidia-glx-config enable and if needs be run md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum and then run sudo nvidia-glx-config enable again and then restart the X-server
[10:39] <tondar> melchior:  how?
[10:39] <melchior> tondar, and choose default from gdm
[10:39] <Irek> How can I install ubuntu 7.0.4 to fakeRaid
[10:39] <bloodMuffin> predaeus: mm not really...
[10:39] <darkstar> i'm having trouble getting my nVidia driver to work and have to use the "nv" driver to boot X
[10:39] <concept10> tondar, instructions are on the wiki
[10:39] <tondar> melchior:  gimme the add?
[10:39] <tondar> melchior:  thanks
[10:39] <predaeus> bloodMuffin, hm did you restart vlc, I don't know if it changes it on the fly.
[10:40] <predaeus> bloodMuffin, apart from that I've no idea sorry.
[10:40] <darkstar> I'm currently getting the error "NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate rankine object"  -- anybody know what that means?
[10:40] <bloodMuffin> predaeus: hm yea..thanks for the help though
[10:40] <melchior> tondar, for example, I run a window manager called ratpoison. the ratpoison execuatble is /usr/X11R6/bin/ratpoison or something, so 'echo exec /usr/X11R6/bin/ratpoison > .xsession && chmod a+x .xsession'
[10:40] <melchior> and choosing default session at the login should do the trick
[10:40] <levander> Someone call tell me how to know which nvidia driver I need?  nvidia-glx use to work under Edgy, but with Feisty it messes up the screen resolution.
[10:41] <tondar> melchior:  will try
[10:41] <bloodMuffin> predaeus: one other thing, do you have any idea why totem is reading a movie as being only 3 seconds long when its actually over 40 minutes long?
[10:41] <Horscht> hi
[10:41] <fitzyofoz> the screen resolution thing has happened to nearly everyone
[10:41] <fitzyofoz> Well at least a lot of people that I have spoken to
[10:41] <mc__> bloodMuffin: have you tried any other video player?
[10:41] <darkstar> Can somebody help me with my nVidia drivers?
[10:41] <fitzyofoz> darkstar - Which driver set
[10:42] <levander> darkstar: i'm in here looking for help with them too
[10:42] <Horscht> gnome-rdp (remote desktop client) was working until a few days ago, now it tells me " error during the connection to the database"
[10:42] <bloodMuffin> vlc reads the correct time
[10:42] <fitzyofoz> From Nvidia site or the repositories
[10:42] <melchior> what refresh rate is easier on the eye? 50 or 55?
[10:42] <Horscht> i tried to completely remove it using synaptic already
[10:42] <Horscht> and then reinstall it
[10:42] <bloodMuffin> mc__: vlc reads the correct time...
[10:42] <Horscht> same error occurs
[10:42] <Ix0s> melchior, I spose the higher the refresh rate the easier it is on the eye
[10:42] <levander> melchior: if it's an LCD, use it's native resolution, if it's a CRT, 55 would be better, but it's still really low
[10:42] <mneumonic> r irc.icq.com
[10:42] <predaeus> bloodMuffin, no not really, but I think those things are codec issues
[10:43] <darkstar> fitzyofoz, i went to the nvidia website and got the driver from there. I got it all installed but i still can't boot X using that driver because i get the error: NVIDIA(0): Failed to allocate rankine object
[10:43] <bloodMuffin> predaeus: ok, thanks for the help though
[10:43] <darkstar> fitzyofoz, no clue what that means. I have to go into xorg.conf and change my driver to "nv" just to boot X
[10:43] <predaeus> np
[10:43] <Ayabara_> I'm editing prefs.xml in gaim to use a dark theme. is there a way to comment out stuff in xml files?
[10:43] <fitzyofoz> darkstart - alright, give me a second
[10:44] <levander> Ayabara_: <!-- xml stuf -->
[10:44] <darkstar> fitzyofoz, k
[10:44] <fitzyofoz> darkstar - The card is ?
[10:44] <tondar> melchior:  hey worked, thanks a million
[10:44] <Ayabara_> levander, great. thanks
[10:44] <darkstar> fitzyofoz, can't remember. how do i check from linux?
[10:45] <the_sultan> fitzy: could i just do what u said by manually changing the xorg.conf file
[10:45] <darkstar> fitzyofoz, I think it's a GeForce 700 GO or something like that
[10:45] <XZC> WHat is error code: HDC 0x70 when I try to start OR install Ubuntu???
[10:46] <fitzyofoz> OK, and ubuntu is edgy or feisty
[10:46] <darkstar> fitzyofoz, i'm using edgy
[10:47] <Horscht> where is gnome-rdp's database located?

[10:49] <Roor> I installed the nvidia drivers and enabled it in the restricted drivers manager, when i reboot, it says no displays found, which i keep getting... i have a new nvidia card, 8800 gts .. could that be the problem?
[10:49] <fitzyofoz> possibly
[10:49] <Roor> hmm...
[10:49] <fitzyofoz> no displays
[10:49] <fitzyofoz> can you get into X or not?
[10:49] <fitzyofoz> or does it crash
[10:49] <Roor> im in it now, revert to old xorg.conf
[10:49] <Roor> but it doesnt get that far with nvidia drivers
[10:50] <Roor> just boots into terminal to fix
[10:50] <fitzyofoz> ahh, maybe drop the default color dept in the xorg.conf
[10:50] <Roor> hmm.. really
[10:50] <fitzyofoz> or edit your working config file and change the nv to nvidua
[10:50] <fitzyofoz> nvidia
[10:50] <Roor> yea i tried that, same thing
[10:50] <fitzyofoz> that might work
[10:50] <Roor> tried composite enable and 0 too

[10:56] <__matte__> hallo everybody. I have a copy of ubuntu 6.10 installed, and would like to try the 7.04. I already downloaded the iso file. When i insert the disk, my classic old ubuntu will start. How can i do it? Do i have to burn the iso file, or just the file inside of it??
[10:56] <the_sultan> burn the iso
[10:56] <Myrtti> __matte__: check your bios settings
[10:57] <__matte__> bios is set to start from cd
[10:57] <Ix0s> __matte__, You burn the iso thats it
[10:58] <fitzyofoz> roor - the link to the pastebin thing http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19413/
[10:58] <fitzyofoz> that's my file
[10:58] <__matte__> ok

[11:00] <ATAMAH> hey ppl, can someone help a newbie, please?:) basically wanted to have a dual boot system. installed xp, installed ubuntu after that ona different partition, after reboot it launches the grub console - and i am lost there.
[11:00] <JJ|Laptop> isn't grub a boot loader?
[11:01] <ATAMAH> it is
[11:01] <Kakashi`> i need help with setting up dhcp3 server, i've been browsing around the tutorials but i cant get it working
[11:01] <Techno_> Hello, how do you reinstall adept
[11:01] <JJ|Laptop> my only run-ins with it have been with jsut seleting the O.S.
[11:01] <Ayabara_> I have installed a theme by dragging it to 'Theme Preferences'. It says it's correctly installed, but I can't find it afterwards.
[11:02] <Gerro> Ayabara: maybe its an "invisible" theme XD
[11:02] <Ix0s> Ayabara, Try going into theme details, and seeing if its under control/window borders/icons
[11:02] <JJ|Laptop> and my laptop with only windows working and a busted debian install
[11:02] <killerbunny> How do i add stuff to the righ mouse menu on desktop ?
[11:02] <Zorlin> Good day. Does anyone need help?
[11:02] <Kakashi`> I need help with dhcp3 ... :(
[11:03] <Zorlin> !dhcp
[11:03] <ubotu> dhcp is Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, a protocol for automatic IP assignment from a router. Ubuntu uses dhclient as a DHCP client but other ones (and DHCP servers too) can be obtained from the !repos. More info at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DHCP
[11:03] <Gerro> JJ|Laptop: debian? this is ubuntu channel, dual boots usually suck like that, don't see why you don't do a regular install
[11:03] <JJ|Laptop> *on
[11:03] <ATAMAH> Zorlin: basically wanted to have a dual boot system. installed xp, installed ubuntu after that ona different partition, after reboot it launches the grub console - and i am lost there.
[11:03] <Zorlin> !dualboot
[11:03] <ubotu> Dual boot instructions:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo (x86/AMD64) - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot (Macintosh)
[11:04] <Ayabara_> Ix0s, it was under control and worked. thanks
[11:04] <Zorlin> The grub console? You'd have to pick an item from the list using the arrow keys and hit enter
[11:04] <JJ|Laptop> Gerro: i didn't ask a single question about debian, or any question at all actualy :p
[11:04] <Zorlin> Or do you mean something else?
[11:04] <AbdusSalam> I have two GeForce 7900 GS SLI (256M),  though only one of the cards is showing up in the device manager
[11:04] <Ix0s> Ayabara, They always go to there for me too
[11:04] <JJ|Laptop> Zorlin: that's what i was getting at :p
[11:04] <AbdusSalam> is it possible to run ubuntu in SLI?
[11:04] <Gyro54> _matte_, if you have a fast connection you should just install via the online update.
[11:05] <Roor> abdus, i believe i saw something about that on the nvidia website...
[11:05] <Ayabara_> Ix0s, Maybe because it's not a "complete theme". It has no default Icon set
[11:05] <Kakashi`> Zorlin: i already know about the Knowledge base of dhcp, however i can't dhcp3 working on my feisty
[11:05] <__matte__> gyro54... do u mean the regular update ubuntu gets?? or is it something different??
[11:06] <fitzyofoz> roor - How did you go?
[11:06] <Ix0s> Ayabara, Yeah thats what it seems to be :)
[11:06] <Zorlin> Kakashi`: I'm not experienced in that subject... but could you give me some more details? Won't it start, or it appears to start but doesn't do anything etc?
[11:06] <AbdusSalam> i have just installed the latest 64bit ubuntu, my processor is a intel core 2 duo  6600 @ 2.4 ghz
[11:06] <AbdusSalam> should i have installed the x86?
[11:06] <Zorlin> Abdus: Depends on your needs
[11:06] <Zorlin> !amd64
[11:06] <ubotu> AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information.
[11:06] <Roor> fitz: gonna try some of your config, rebooting
[11:07] <Ix0s> AbdusSalam, According to the gentoo channel theres no real need to run a 64 bit desktop :P
[11:07] <Gerro> Ix0s: gives better performance
[11:07] <ATAMAH> Zorlin: would appreciate somehelp on this: i have installed ubuntu on a partition different from winXP. after installation i get the grub console, which i am not familiar with. what should i do to be able to dual boot?
[11:08] <AbdusSalam> i really want to get sli to work, why waste one of my  video cards? another thing is that i have a 24" widescreen flatpanel lcd, the resolution is at 1920x1200 which is correct
[11:08] <AbdusSalam> but only at 50Hz
[11:08] <AbdusSalam> it should be 60
[11:08] <Zorlin> ATAMAH: I'm not entirely sure what console you are referring to
[11:08] <Ix0s> AbdusSalam, Plus theres a weird thing about whether core duo is actually 64 bit :S
[11:08] <AbdusSalam> and i changed the xorg file
[11:08] <Gerro> 50hz is good rate for how it handles
[11:08] <Zorlin> just a sec
[11:08] <DeTlEfF> hi @ all
[11:09] <Gerro> I haven't quite figured that out how sometimes it says 50hz but others it will say like 70
[11:09] <ATAMAH> Zorlin: iit's the first time i saw this too...basically it has a limited number of commands, like chainloader, kernel, etc.
[11:09] <Gerro> atamah: I think you went to recovery console for grub
[11:09] <Gerro> atamah: do you have a # prompt
[11:09] <Zorlin> Oh.
[11:10] <ATAMAH> no, i had grub>   prompt. now booted from ubuntu dvd to get here
[11:10] <Zorlin> ATAMAH, this seems like a problem with menu.lst
[11:10] <labanux> how can i install ubuntu from my hdd? using the .iso file?
[11:10] <Zorlin> its located in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[11:10] <ATAMAH> let's see...
[11:10] <Gerro> atamah: yeah try to mount your hard drive with the live cd then edit /boot/grub/menu.lst on there
[11:11] <labanux> in debian i do this with using hd-media image, is ubuntu has something like this too?
[11:11] <Ookami_desu> Hi, i have ubuntu 5.10 and i'd like to purge the user's data and account since im selling  my machine forward. is it recomended to just reinstall or can i just remove the user and set up a temp user? im upgrading to a better system.

[11:12] <labanux> where can I get the image for installing from HDD ?
[11:13] <eck> AbdusSalam: i think python is a nice language to start with

[11:15] <Ix0s> Seveas, Hehe i doubt it :P
[11:15] <Aryra> hello
[11:16] <Aryra> :P
[11:16] <s_spiff> well he probably tried to save his butt from gettin kicked :P
[11:16] <Aryra> I was wondering, is there any way of 'tricking' ubuntu into thinking it's a lower version than it is?
[11:16] <Aryra> because mine didn't upgrade properly, and thinks it did...therefore I need to upgrade again
[11:16] <Aryra> but the button for upgrading isn't there.
[11:17] <fsckit> can someone tell me how to find a package that's installed? i used apt-get but what i thought would start it in the command line isn't. it's named something else i guess
[11:17] <Flannel> Aryra: just go to a terminal, and `sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade`
[11:17] <AbdusSalam> ERROR: this .run file is intended for the

[11:17] <__matte__> i have one more question! I own an old win98 laptop,56mb ram. Could i try to install a ubuntu version in it? Where can i find it??
[11:17] <Aryra> flannel: it thinks it IS upgraded, thats the thing
[11:17] <Seveas> Aryra, try apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:18] <Aryra> seveas: just did, and have before. It's convinced its upgraded
[11:18] <Aryra> seveas: I know it hasn't.
[11:18] <Flannel> Aryra: apt-get doesn't "think" it's anything.  It just knows versions
[11:18] <Seveas> Aryra, how do you know?
[11:18] <Aryra> well, the reason its like this is because I had a powercut during installation of the update
[11:19] <Aryra> >_<
[11:19] <Flannel> fsckit: dpkg -c /var/cache/apt/archives/[package] .deb
[11:19] <Aryra> it didn't even get around to installing.
[11:19] <fsckit> Flannel, thanks, i'll try it

[11:19] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[11:19] <Flannel> fsckit: for [package]  type the package name you installed, then hit tab, it ought to complete it with the verisons (and add the .deb)
[11:19] <AbdusSalam> i found the 64bit version now i have this error:
[11:19] <AbdusSalam> An NVIDIA kernel module 'nvidia' appears to already be loaded in your kernel.
[11:20] <AbdusSalam> how to i unload it
[11:20] <sanityx> AbdusSalam, rmmod nvidia
[11:20] <sanityx> or modprobe -r nvidia
[11:21] <Aryra> graahhh
[11:21] <Aryra> somewhere in the gconf, there must be something that tells ubuntu what version it is right?
[11:21] <Aryra> or in some file.
[11:21] <fsckit> Flannel, thanks, done the trick
[11:22] <Myrtti> Aryra: you tried sudo apt-get -f install?
[11:22] <Aryra> yup

[11:22] <Aryra>   imlib11 gftp-common tcltls docker sox imlib-base kmplayer-base

[11:28] <Almindor> hey guys, anyone know why evince would display PDF files very ugly? (font, but printed, they are ok)
[11:28] <Flannel> Aryra: and your sources.list?
[11:28] <Almindor> it happened when I updated to fiesty
[11:28] <Almindor> edgy was ok
[11:29] <Flannel> Aryra: er, nevermind.  I can divine them from that paste
[11:29] <Almindor> the fonts look almost "nibbled" on sides, no aliasing, but my font setting in gnome is LCD (right)
[11:29] <Aryra> :P
[11:29] <Almindor> *antialiasing
[11:29] <Almindor> I tried reinstalling evince with fontconfig and freetype but no difference
[11:30] <Flannel> Aryra: and what isn't working?  Do you have `ubuntu-desktop` installed?
[11:30] <Hagg2> !telia
[11:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about telia - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[11:30] <Almindor> font*
[11:30] <Aryra> yes I've got ubuntu-desktop

[11:31] <Aryra> obviously.
[11:31] <ICS_NIC> anyone up for helping me out with Internet Connection Sharing!
[11:31] <Gerro> ICS_NIC: what is that?
[11:31] <Nvening> hi, how to i manually create a new resolution in 7.04 because i want to setup my lcd tv properly??
[11:31] <johnt> zcat[1] : gooday!! :-)
[11:32] <Flannel> Aryra: one thing you ought to do is get rid of the edgy sources.  But, if that's all you've done, how do you know it's broken?
[11:32] <adaptr> Nvening just add it to xorg.conf
[11:32] <ICS_NIC> Gerro everythign is setup correctly though i dont have internet on the client :S
[11:32] <Nvening> ill try thanks
[11:32] <Aryra> it turned off in the middle of installing the new version
[11:32] <Gerro> Nvening: edit your the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[11:32] <Aryra> I'm pretty sure it didn't finish
[11:32] <Aryra> I was watching it, being as bored as I was.
[11:32] <Flannel> Aryra: but, apart from the fact that you did that, you don't see anything broken
[11:32] <Gerro> ICS_NIC: internet connection sharing? umm.. do you have like a router or switch?
[11:33] <Aryra> its operating normally for ...what is it? 6.10? 6.something
[11:33] <Aryra> its not 7.04 though.
[11:33] <ICS_NIC> Gerro host= xp     client= edgy.. and its a nic to nic connection
[11:33] <He1> can anyone help me?? i have only 60hz on my monitor (hansol 920d)
[11:34] <Flannel> Aryra: I dont know what you were expecting to happen with 7.04, but there isn't that big of a visual change.  Get rid of your edgy repositories, I think you've come out alright.
[11:35] <Aryra> flannel: ok...I hope so.
[11:35] <ICS_NIC> Gerro so wht do u think i should do
[11:35] <He1> i have ubuntu 7.0.4 and gnome desktop but only 60hz monitor refreshrate
[11:36] <louis_> Same, my moniter only goes up to 85hz and ubuntu only gives me a choice of 60 or 87
[11:37] <Gerro> ICS_NIC: I think you should try either ftp or ssh if you want to trade files but if you want to share a connection then you will have to specify the xp one as the default gateway
[11:37] <He1> how can i fix it?? install a monitor driver??
[11:37] <Aryra> flannel: removing those repo's...it didn't like that
[11:37] <Gerro> Hel: edit your xorg.conf or use nvclock perhaps
[11:38] <Aryra> flannel: I cant get back into synaptic
[11:38] <Aryra> >_>
[11:38] <Gerro> Aryra: reinstall it with apt-get
[11:38] <He1> thx gerro
[11:38] <Gerro> Aryra: did it crash? if so kill it and python
[11:38] <Aryra> gerro: no thats not the issue
[11:38] <Aryra> E: Malformed line 34 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list (dist parse)
[11:38] <Aryra> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[11:38] <ICS_NIC> gerro , thts wht i did! im using kerio winroute lite.. and it worked fine for about 11 month but yesterday it simply stopped
[11:38] <Aryra> *sighs*
[11:39] <ICS_NIC> gerro , i can ping myself on both pcs.. as well as share files.. though theres no internet connection on the client:S
[11:39] <Nvening> after editing xorg.conf do i have to restart to make the new resolution appear, i just modified an existing resolution setting instead of creating a new one??
[11:39] <Gerro> Aryra: that isn't a problem just remove line 34 from sources list
[11:39] <Gerro> Aryra: find a site that has a repository for a linux distro and they usually say do sudo blah blah and edit some file
[11:39] <Aryra> I'll wait for the livecd to download and use that
[11:39] <Aryra> *sets about backing up various files*
[11:39] <Gerro> Aryra: just find that one, sorry I forget which it is
[11:40] <Gerro> Aryra: no reason to reinstall that is a minor issue
[11:40] <Aryra> gerro: THAT one is
[11:40] <Gerro> ICS_NIC: ah then bridge the connection on the windows client
[11:40] <Aryra> gerro: its my original one that's annoying me
[11:40] <ICS_NIC> gerro , wht do u mean..
[11:40] <doc__> hi there
[11:40] <Nvening> anyone?
[11:41] <Aryra> gerro: involving upgrade issues >_< been here for 20 mins on that already.
[11:41] <Gerro> ICS_NIC: open up networks on the windows host and hold shift then select both connections, to left says create bridge do so. then it creates a connection between those two routes
[11:41] <Aryra> gerro: no functional issues except for the fact I cant update to 7.04. So...I'm writing over the top of it :P much easier
[11:41] <Aryra> nvening: no
[11:41] <Gerro> Aryra: never upgrade just reinstall, seriously its not that cheap for a second hd or flash drive to store a few files
[11:41] <Nvening> kk, hmmmmmmmmm
[11:42] <Aryra> nvening: or at least, I didn't.
[11:42] <Aryra> gerro: heh, yeah
[11:42] <ICS_NIC> gerro .. shouldnt kerio winroute lite take care of tht?! i never done this b4.. and it worked perfectly
[11:42] <Aryra> nvening: you trying to do hz or resolution?
[11:43] <Gerro> ICS_NIC: well if that doesn't work the technique you have to do is create a virtual bridge between those two connections
[11:43] <Aryra> nvening: 'cause you need to add things in about 5 or 6 lines in there
[11:43] <sercik> could someone help me how to configure a firewall for ftp access?
[11:43] <Aryra> nvening: for resolutions anyway.
[11:43] <Ix0s> !firewall | serick
[11:43] <ubotu> serick: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[11:43] <ICS_NIC> Gerro u mean between the NIc tht has the dsl connection.. and the nic thts used for home network?
[11:43] <Gerro> ICS_NIC: I was trying something similar to run colinux on my windows box
[11:44] <Gerro> ICS_NIC: yeah exactly, bridging it tells the windows OS to link those routes
[11:44] <ICS_NIC> gerro and i uninstall kerio winroute?
[11:44] <Gerro> ICS_NIC: I have no clue what that app is, i did that sort of stuff before with just windows
[11:45] <ICS_NIC> hmm
[11:45] <ICS_NIC> k ill give it a try
[11:45] <Gerro> ICS_NIC: its probably been around since 95 which didn't have certain features and now is just bloatware
[11:45] <ICS_NIC> though Gerro could u help me through it! am obviously a newbie..
[11:45] <Gerro> ICS_NIC: dead apps are infamous for that stuff
[11:45] <papauwe> <IP_ADDRESS>

[11:46] <Aryra> gerro: :P
[11:46] <coolgeek> Guys, ive when i boot i want to go straight to tty1 instead of tty8 how would i do that?
[11:46] <coolgeek> Guys, if when i boot i want to go straight to tty1 instead of tty8 how would i do that?
[11:47] <Aryra> wait, your IP is <IP_ADDRESS>? OMG WE ARE ON THE SAME PC! XD
[11:47] <coolgeek> didnt mean ive
[11:47] <Aryra> <_<
[11:47] <Gerro> coolgeek: i was wondering where you would edit that since no /etc/inittab file on ubuntu
[11:47] <Aryra> *runs*
[11:47] <coolgeek> Gerro: there is a inittab file
[11:47] <coolgeek> and LOL at Ayra
[11:47] <Gerro> coolgeek: where!?
[11:48] <Aryra> ;)
[11:48] <coolgeek> Gerro: you can only see it as root
[11:48] <dettoaltrimenti_> where is the apt-get log kept?
[11:48] <coolgeek> try sudo cat  /etc/inittab
[11:48] <Gerro> ICS_NIC: just toy with those setup wizards, good luck with things
[11:48] <coolgeek> Gerro: try sudo cat /etc/inittab
[11:48] <coolgeek> Gerro: but editing the run level of init doesnt work..
[11:49] <Gerro> cat: /etc/inittab: No such file or directory
[11:49] <coolgeek> SUDO
[11:49] <coolgeek> SUDO
[11:49] <coolgeek> SUDO
[11:49] <coolgeek> Gerro: you have to be root
[11:49] <Gerro> # cat /etc/inittab
[11:49] <Gerro> cat: /etc/inittab: No such file or directory
[11:49] <coolgeek> Gerro: type exactly this..
[11:49] <coolgeek> Gerro: sudo cat /etc/inittab
[11:50] <hypronix> hello everybody. it seems all my USB drives get mounted as read-only even though mtab reports them as rw. i've tried sudo mount -o remount,rw but no luck, same thing. can't chown them to my regular user either. any ideas, thanks!
[11:50] <Gerro> coolgeek: same
[11:51] <Gerro> coolgeek: try this sudo su
[11:51] <coolgeek> Gerro: what happens when you type: locate inittab
[11:51] <PingFloyd> hypronix: what filesystem?
[11:51] <coolgeek> Gerro: why would i want to try that?
[11:51] <Gerro> coolgeek: get a # prompt
[11:51] <coolgeek> whats that got to do with anything?
[11:51] <hypronix> PingFloyd: two partitions, one is vfat one is hfsplus
[11:52] <coolgeek> Gerro: what happens when you type locate inittab
[11:52] <Gerro> /usr/lib/upstart/migrate-inittab.pl
[11:52] <Gerro> /usr/share/vim/vim70/syntax/inittab.vim
[11:52] <aceninja> Hi
[11:52] <PingFloyd> don't know the stipulation of hfsplus, but with fat ones you usually need to mount with some extra options since they don't have all the needed facilities
[11:52] <coolgeek> Gerro: thats all?
[11:52] <Gerro> coolgeek: I did updatedb and locate inittab as root still same
[11:52] <aceninja> Can someone plz Help me?
[11:53] <PingFloyd> hypronix: like mounting with uid= and gid=
[11:53] <coolgeek> locate doesnt need to be as root
[11:53] <Gerro> coolgeek: yeah I'm using xubuntu
[11:53] <Ix0s> !ask | aceninja
[11:53] <ubotu> aceninja: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:53] <aceninja> I'm a n00b who is trying to setup an existing RAID1 partition on Ubuntu
[11:53] <bingnet> Hi Room, Here's hoping for some expertise: I'm restoring my Feisty root partition which consists of everything but /home. I'm using rsync.
[11:53] <PingFloyd> and umask=
[11:53] <Gerro> aceninja: do you know what RAID1 is?
[11:53] <hypronix> PingFloyd: this is from mtab: /dev/sdd1 /media/XLNT vfat rw,nosuid,nodev,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,utf8,umask=077 0 0
[11:53] <aceninja> I have a RAID1 setup already in BIOS with stuff on it
[11:54] <aceninja> Yes RAID1 for backup
[11:54] <aceninja> I had it setup on WinXP
[11:54] <bingnet> That is, I used rsync to create the backup.
[11:54] <Gerro> aceninja: check the alt cd for raid support
[11:54] <aceninja> Now I have installed Ubuntu on a different standalone hdd
[11:54] <Woodrag> somehow it is not possinble to choose for wpa in my gnomenetworking applet when i try get logon to my wifinetwork....
[11:54] <aceninja> but I still see the two raid drives as separate entities in Ubuntu
[11:54] <bingnet> Problem is, when I restored the filesystem I encountered numerous errors during boot including kernel panic, unable to find /
[11:54] <coolgeek> Gerro: i dont know much about xubuntu
[11:55] <Woodrag> tried the whole shebang in the docs but nogo ;-(
[11:55] <coolgeek> Gerro: what did you want to edit in there anyway?
[11:55] <Gerro> coolgeek: updatedb does though
[11:55] <christine_> hello gud day. i can not delete my trash . it has an error no permission where can i find the folder of the trash files so that i will delete it using sudo(terminal)?
[11:55] <Gerro> coolgeek: just edit out a few virtual terminals and add a few desktop tweaks
[11:55] <aceninja> The thing is I am not trying to Install Ubuntu on RAID hadd
[11:55] <aceninja> hdd
[11:55] <tsairox> hello
[11:55] <aceninja> I just want Ubuntu to recognize the existing RAID1 partition
[11:56] <coolgeek> Gerro: so if i wanted to boot straight into tty1 how would i edit that file?
[11:56] <aceninja> Anyone have any idea how this can be done?
[11:56] <Gerro> christine_: its .trash in your /home/user folder try doing ls -a from terminal
[11:56] <aceninja> Do I need to use DMRAID?
[11:56] <coolgeek> Gerro: so if i wanted to boot straight into tty1 how would i edit that file?
[11:56] <Gerro> coolgeek: I have no clue.. doesn't it boot into tty1 by default? maybe comment out all the others?
[11:56] <christine_> Gerro: thanks!
[11:57] <tsairox> anyone know how to use an Ubuntu box as a gateway for other computers running winxp?
[11:57] <Gerro> coolgeek: its good to have a few for background stuff
[11:57] <coolgeek> no it boots to tty8 GUI
[11:57] <aceninja> Gerro: Do you know how to use dmraid?
[11:57] <cacac2> im testing my new irc script
[11:57] <liquid> aceninja: you may find you have a device for your raid device already in /dev/mapper/
[11:57] <Gerro> aceninja: hmm not too good with dma
[11:58] <aceninja> liquid: this is what I get when i type ls /dev/mapper -->control  isw_dacafhih_Raid 1 Data
[11:58] <christine_> how can i remove a directory which is not empty?
[11:58] <Gerro> tsairox: download the ubuntu server edition and read up on linux routing
[11:58] <liquid> aceninja: mount it like your a randy dogg!
[11:58] <aceninja> liquid: How do i set it up so that Ubuntu recognizes it as a RAID 1 array?
[11:58] <aceninja> liquid: how do I mount?
[11:58] <PingFloyd> christine_: rm -rf but be careful with it
[11:59] <ReK_`> 15 judges of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals have unanimously reversed dismissal of a RICO class action suit against Microsoft and Best Buy, which claims the companies engaged in fraud in promoting Microsoft's MSN online service. (RICO is a statute originally intended to help prosecutors go after organized crime.)
[11:59] <Woodrag> somehow it is not possinble to choose for wpa in my gnomenetworking applet when i try get logon to my wifinetwork....
[11:59] <liquid> aceninja: Try mounting it to prove the premise first then deal with auto mounting eh?
[11:59] <Gerro> aceninja: do man mount from terminal
[11:59] <Woodrag> tried the whole shebang in the docs but nogo ;-(
[11:59] <tsairox> Gerro: can I not just use my ubuntu 7.04 regular edition
[11:59] <liquid> aceninja: best to google and learn that one as its a basic premise of linux stuff. teach a man to fish and all that :)
[11:59] <Gerro> Woodrag: wpa requires extra files be installed check synaptic
[11:59] <PingFloyd> christel: could use rm -r instead.  It will prompt more though
[12:00] <christine_> PingFloyd: thanks! it work! :)
[12:00] <Woodrag> ok thanx
[12:00] <aceninja> liquid: WILCO :)
[12:00] <liquid> aceninja: glad I could help
[12:00] <christine_> linux rocks!
[12:00] <Gerro> tsairox: you could do that but if its off then no connection for the other comps, and its generally wasteful if it has a fully featured gui just sitting around running
[12:00] <kraut> moin
[12:00] <nicolai_> hi
[12:00] <aceninja> liquid: googling mount now...
[12:00] <eks> hi there
[12:00] <AbdusSalam> how do i temporarily disable X
[12:01] <tsairox> Gerro: my linux box is always on
[12:01] <liquid> christinL indeed it does...ive gone through far fewer keyboards since abandoning Vista in favour of Ubntu
[12:01] <sercik> you can press ctrl+alt+F1
[12:01] <nictau> i require some assistance
[12:01] <Gerro> tsairox: hmm guess you could try xubuntu 6.06 if you want a lite gui
[12:01] <eks> AbdusSalam: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[12:01] <AbdusSalam> with ctrl alt backspace X just restarts
[12:01] <burepe> The IRC wiki says "If you start a new local channel, please adhere to the #ubuntu-CC naming convention" where is there a list of the country codes? Is Japan ja or jp?
[12:01] <eks> in a console
[12:01] <AbdusSalam> oh thanks
[12:01] <sercik> then as root do: service gdm stop
[12:01] <Gerro> tsairox: 2.4 kernel probably more fit for being a server setup too
[12:01] <AbdusSalam> thanks eks
[12:01] <nicolai_> i want to buy a tv tuner card (digital, hdtv, germany, astra, satelite, not too expensive) which should i choose?
[12:01] <eks> np AbdusSalam
[12:01] <tsairox> Gerro: Hmm? I'll consider that
[12:01] <nictau> can someone assist me in installing the GCC compiler on ubuntu
[12:02] <eks> nicolai_: I suggest u try searching "tv tuner card linux OR ubuntu" on google
[12:02] <nicolai_> sudo apt-get install build-essentail nictau
[12:02] <eks> sudo apt-get build-essentials*
[12:02] <Nvening> hi, how to i setup and configure multiple screens in 7.04?
[12:02] <eks> (without the *)
[12:02] <nicolai_> without the s*
[12:02] <liquid> eks: you're too fast...you got that out before me :P
[12:02] <nicolai_> only -essential
[12:02] <Gerro> tsairox: sorry its a bit late kind of sleepy, perhaps see you around and tell me how things go
[12:03] <Gerro> nictau: apt-get install build essentials gcc g++
[12:03] <tsairox> Gerro: thanx rest well
[12:03] <eks> liquid: I got 5 cofee cup ;)
[12:03] <liquid> Nvening : do you have an nvidia card? if so there is the nvidia util called... (will check)
[12:03] <Nvening> ati :)
[12:03] <Gerro> nictau: maybe shove in gcc with specific version numbers for legacy support
[12:03] <liquid> eks: you can have another on me :P
[12:03] <nictau> couldnt find pakage build
[12:03] <eks> Nvening: if aticonfig
[12:04] <broedje> is there a llong manual for debian, somewhere?
[12:04] <predaeus> burepe, I think it matches the one for web addresses (domain names)
[12:04] <aceninja> liquid: I tried to mount using : mount isw_dacafhih_Raid 1 Data
[12:04] <aceninja> mount: only root can do that
[12:04] <eks> sorry, if ati => aticonfig
[12:04] <liquid> nictau: drop the space in between build and -essential
[12:04] <eks> broedje: yes
[12:04] <Gerro> build-essential I meant sorry nictau
[12:04] <aceninja> liquid: I got the error that says only root can mount??
[12:04] <liquid> aceninja: sudo -s
[12:04] <nictau> is it essential or essentials?
[12:04] <burepe> predaeus, thanks
[12:04] <eks> broedje: http://people.via.ecp.fr/~alexis/formation-linux(french)
[12:04] <broedje> grml
[12:04] <Trackilizer> Hey guys, need your help.
[12:04] <Gerro> broedje: try the documentation at www.linux.org its great reading for that
[12:04] <broedje> huh? and english?
[12:04] <Nvening> eks: is that  a package?
[12:04] <liquid> nictau: buils-essential
[12:05] <eks> Nvening: a package and a program :)
[12:05] <Gerro> aceninja: do sudo su to become root and mount it
[12:05] <eks> broedje: 2 sec I'll have a look
[12:05] <broedje> cool
[12:05] <Trackilizer> is there app one can download that will write data on to floppies, cause i can't seem to be able to acces them.
[12:05] <nictau> im still erroring
[12:05] <liquid> Nvening: nvidia-settings - but I think Im too late with that answer :P
[12:05] <Gerro> broedje: if you don't speak that language then translate the page, lots of online sites translate for you
[12:05] <nictau> Unmet dependencies
[12:05] <Nvening> i just call programs packages now, for simplicity XD
[12:05] <Nolt> Hello. I need to run firefox in Fluxbox but my mouse doesn't work, there are maybe some key shortcuts to run terminal in fluxbox ?????????????? HELP
[12:06] <Nvening> haha, thanks anyway liquid
[12:06] <aceninja> I tried sudo -s to login as root
[12:06] <Gerro> Nolt: do alt + f2 to get a console
[12:06] <liquid> Nvening: you need to mount the /dev/mapper/nvi[....] 1 device
[12:06] <liquid> not the shortest ones
[12:06] <liquid> if that makes sense
[12:06] <eks> broedje: what level ?
[12:06] <liquid> the shortest one is the disc eg hda
[12:06] <aceninja> and i typed" mount isw_dacafhih_Raid 1 Data "
[12:06] <broedje> Gerro: i speak it but flite and emacspeak isnt
[12:06] <broedje> dont
[12:06] <Nolt> Gerro: alt+f2 change for me a desktops
[12:07] <nictau> could someone just PM me and walk me through this, been a long time since ive used linux
[12:07] <Nvening> liquid: What? lol
[12:07] <eks> Nolt: Ctrl + Alt + F2
[12:07] <eks> and alt + F7 to come back
[12:07] <broedje> eks well, i need scripting, and .... advanced?
[12:07] <MrStein> After installation, is there no succes report ? Like a dialog "Ubuntu successfuly installed" with an OK button ?
[12:07] <eks> broedje: but what is your current level ?
[12:07] <broedje> far from guru, but no gui thangs
[12:08] <broedje> huh? of knowledge? im noob
[12:08] <eks> MrStein: yes there is
[12:08] <MrStein> eks: so if there is nothing (just empty desktop) does that mean there was an error ?
[12:08] <broedje> level.... i dont use ubuntu, i have grml
[12:09] <eks> MrStein: try to reboot and you'll see :
[12:09] <eks> :)
[12:09] <broedje> so my level is higher than yours ;-P
[12:09] <MrStein> eks: that just hangs :-P
[12:09] <eks> ^
[12:09] <eks> ^^
[12:09] <nictau> does ubuntu come standard with a GCC?
[12:09] <MrStein> eks: so if there is no dialog at all, that i a bug ?
[12:09] <Nolt> eks: i dont need tekst mode cuz I need run a firefox but my mouse doesnt works...
[12:09] <eks> broedje: if you really want to know linux deeper, I suggest Linux From Scratch :)
[12:10] <eks> if it's too long then I suggest sysadmin books
[12:10] <zingiestlemur> hello
[12:10] <broedje> you mean another install? not for the next 3 years :-D ... i did installs for the last five
[12:10] <ravee1981> hi
[12:10] <Nolt> anyother ideas ??
[12:10] <ravee1981> can anyone tell me how to install a bin file in ubuntu?
[12:11] <broedje> eks: ah you mean the book
[12:11] <eks> broedje: LFS != install; LFS == building :)
[12:11] <PeterH> Anyone familiar with FreeNX?
[12:11] <eks> broedje: the book's pretty good too
[12:11] <broedje> eks : you mean lfs is not install but building?
[12:11] <eks> yes, kinda
[12:11] <sanityx> Hey will yakuake work in gnome?
[12:11] <eks> ^^
[12:12] <broedje> k
[12:12] <Heavenquake> My Alt GR key won't work. How can that be?
[12:12] <broedje> eks very nice, you got a clue
[12:12] <eks> broedje: actually you build your system from scratch
[12:12] <broedje> yea heard of
[12:12] <nictau> would ubuntu 5.10 be pretty old in terms of its GCC compiler and other goodies?
[12:12] <jpjacobs> broedje, another great general linux book is !rute (see !rute)
[12:12] <MrStein> Can someone (else than eks) please double-confirm, that a good installation procedure ends with a message saying that the install was finished, please ? (for Ubunut 7.04 dekstop i386)
[12:12] <eks> really instreasting but you'll need some free time ^^
[12:12] <zingiestlemur> how can i access the ext2 and 3 partitions from WinXP?
[12:13] <stittel> nictau: Not very old, but pretty old.
[12:13] <eks> zingiestlemur: 2 ways
[12:13] <Gerro> zingiestlemur: you have to get a special windows driver to access them
[12:13] <eks> 1) ext2fs.exe;
[12:13] <jpjacobs> zingiestlemur, there are drivers for that -> google
[12:13] <broedje> but i need some time to consolidate i think..... feel like brainwashed after five yars of red hat mandrake suse openbsd > ubuntu > dsl > grml
[12:13] <MrStein> zingiestlemur: look for ext2fs or similar on google, there are several software packages for that purpose
[12:14] <broedje> jpjacobs: thnk
[12:14] <Heavenquake> What can I do to make Alt Gr work? Nothing happens when I press it along with fx 2
[12:14] <eks> zingiestlemur: fs-driver.org
[12:14] <Taras> hello

[12:14] <jars> hey
[12:14] <knugen> im having weird problems with ndiswrapper and a philips CPWUA054D device. ive followed all the guides without any error messages, it just isnt working (showing up in network config)
[12:15] <Heavenquake> eks: that the AT-sign(from emails) would appear, as it usually does

[12:15] <lieter> Hi, i changed my gdm theme and now i dont see a login screen, just a busy mouse cursor. please help
[12:15] <Taras> i let the errors sit a while like i always do, bt nothing seems to work
[12:16] <eks> Heavenquake: ok (last folk I asked this question told me "a console" so I just check ^^)
[12:16] <liquid> lieter: dpkg-reconfigure x?
[12:16] <eks> Heavenquake: r u using a laptop ?
[12:16] <liquid> lieter: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:16] <Heavenquake> eks: nope.
[12:16] <lieter> liquid: its a gdm prblem, not a x right?

[12:17] <hume> hi...after upgradgin to feisty my samba setup seems corrupt, windows computers cannot see my linux shares - anyone knows what can be wrong? homes are set as shares in smb.conf

[12:17] <liquid> lieter: my bad
[12:18] <stittel> lieter: I don't know where the GDM config files are stored exactly, becaus I use Kubutnu, but you might want to find them unter /etc and revert back to the previous theme.
[12:18] <Heavenquake> eks: except for those requiring Alt Gr
[12:18] <eks> Heavenquake: ok, and your keyboard ?
[12:18] <Taras> im uploading the pictures i took of the error...
[12:18] <Heavenquake> eks: what do you mean?
[12:18] <eks> Heavenquake: did you test another keayboard ?
[12:19] <eks> or the same with another os ?
[12:19] <stittel> lieter: Also purging and reinstalling gdm might be an option. But you have to be careful then to reinstall every package that got removed with gdm, because it depends on it (at least "ubuntu-desktop").
[12:19] <Heavenquake> eks: oh, no I didn't. But this one worked well until I reinstalled Ubuntu

[12:19] <zaen> hello i have a question... i just downloaded the megabundle for looking glass and it says "It is recommended that you install LG3D into /usr/share on the target machine     You can choose to install it somewhere else but then LG3D will not be added a gdm session type."  how do i do this?
[12:20] <zaen> the *.bin file is on my desktop
[12:20] <zaen> i am totally new to linux
[12:20] <eks> Heavenquake: does AltGr fails under both the console (full console, not X term) and Gnome/KDE ?
[12:20] <Cyrus25801> what adobe programme can I use to make flash games/thingies
[12:20] <stittel> zean: Serious answer you don't like: Don't manually mess with window mangers if you are new to Linux, let it be.
[12:20] <Heavenquake> eks: yes. All of it. Also in Enlightenment(as it's what I am running right now)
[12:21] <stittel> zean: Alternativ answer: chmod you bin file to u+x and just run it on console.
[12:21] <mc__> Cyrus25801: i dont think the dev-programms are avaible on linux
[12:21] <jacquesdupontd> im testing my script

[12:22] <stittel> zean: In detail: Open a shell, type "cd ~/ Desktop", type "chmod 755 name of binfile", type "./nameofbinfile" or "sudo ./nameofbinfile".
[12:22] <nonlinear> yeap
[12:22] <Heavenquake> eks: loadkeys: error reading keyboard mode
[12:22] <nonlinear> eks: yeap
[12:22] <stittel> zean: You will probably need to do the letter.
[12:22] <Cyrus25801> mc__: so there is no flash for linux
[12:22] <stittel> *latter
[12:22] <nonlinear> first of all, this is a pentium 5 at 1.73, 1.5 gb ram, single 100 gig hd
[12:22] <Heavenquake> eks: also: KDGKBMODE: Bad file descriptor
[12:22] <stittel> Cyrus25801: There is flash for Linux.
[12:22] <nonlinear> toshiba laptop
[12:22] <uniconformist> zaen: why do you keep messing with the files.  geeeeez.
[12:23] <Cyrus25801> Ok
[12:23] <eks> Heavenquake: look on google for this error, maybe you'll find something interesting
[12:23] <stittel> zean: But as I said: If you are new to Linux, don't try this stuff.
[12:23] <zaen> sorry... i'm just used to windows and i didn't realize
[12:23] <nonlinear> my first question is, is 1gb big enough swap for linux on this system?  just using it for web, personal stuff, etc.
[12:23] <liquid> nonlinear : I have never seen any of my systems go over 150mb of swap useage
[12:23] <eks> nonlinear: I suggest 3 partitions : one linux (ext3), one windows (fat) and one Docs (fat or ext3)
[12:23] <uniconformist> zaen.  it's okay.  i just don't like noobs, that's all.
[12:23] <liquid> so yes:P
[12:24] <nonlinear> really?  i thought the std. was ram*1.5 or ram *2
[12:24] <stittel> nonlinear: Usually you take the double amount of your RAM for swap, because with this you can still sanely use swap without the system become too slow.
[12:24] <eks> nonlinear: if you've got more than 1GB of RAM you d'ont realy need swap
[12:24] <nonlinear> eks: yea, i've read that scheme, however i'm worried about working with files > 4gb
[12:24] <uniconformist> nonlinear: swap is used for old hardware.
[12:24] <stittel> nonlinear: The reason for swap = RAM*2 is not that you need so much swap in most every day operatings, but that this is an amount of swap you could still practical make good use of if needed.
[12:24] <nonlinear> oh, it's not like pagingfile
[12:24] <eks> nonlinear: then use ext3 for your Doc partition
[12:25] <nonlinear> i thought it was virtual ramm... sorry
[12:25] <eks> with the appropriate driver to access then under windows
[12:25] <dj-fu> nonlinear: it is
[12:25] <stittel> nonlinear: If you've got 1 GiB of RAM and 1 GiB of swap you will be fine, if you don't to crazy stuff with your maschine.
[12:25] <uniconformist> actually swap is important if you don't have enough RAM.  swap can be important when services take up a lot of RAM.
[12:25] <_hao>  :D
[12:25] <Heavenquake> eks: I get some french and german results
[12:25] <nonlinear> oh, i'm getting different ansers here lol
[12:25] <stittel> nonlinear: And you are still better of than a user with 512 MiB of RAM following the swap=2*RAM rule.
[12:25] <nonlinear> anyhow, is 1gb enough for linux, since i have a lot of ram and not doing anything intensive
[12:25] <eks> Heavenquake: in PV give me the french ones :)
[12:25] <dj-fu> I run 4gb of swap, 2gb of ddr2-667 in my laptop - mostly so that if I'm using stuff and it end sup in swap, I can still suspend-to-swapspace.
[12:25] <Taras> any help for installation would be helpful
[12:26] <stittel> nonlinear: 1 GiB is perfectly enough. I also have 1 GiB and my system almost never uses the swap space at all.
[12:26] <gav240z> can anyone point me in the right direction upgrading from Edgy Eft to Fiesty Fawn on AMD 64 bit version ?
[12:26] <nonlinear> stittel:  cool, that''s what i figured, just wanted to check before i partition
[12:26] <Taras> or i could try my friends CD that he orderd a long time ago
[12:26] <uniconformist> SWAP is important on servers that eat up a lot of RAM.
[12:26] <nonlinear> cool, thansk
[12:26] <Taras> and what would be a good size for a partitiom?
[12:27] <axz> hi all
[12:27] <eks> nonlinear: Swap can be usefull only if you *need* it (video-editing, wana suspen-to-swapspace, or things like that)
[12:27] <DjViper> has anyone created a Pidgin 2.0 .deb yet?
[12:27] <stittel> gav240z: If your edgy system is having a lot of self-made mess (like numerous third-party packages) I would remove them first to make sure only official edgy packages are installed.
[12:27] <PeterH> Is it possible to remote in to an Ubuntu box as console without logging?
[12:27] <stittel> DjViper: http://www.getdeb.net has Pidgin packges for i386 and amd64 as well.
[12:28] <gav240z> I don't think I have too many 3rd party packages
[12:28] <gav240z> mainly just drivers and beryl
[12:28] <Heavenquake> eks: I sent you the link, right?
[12:28] <DjViper> stittel: thank you
[12:28] <stittel> gav240: You don't strictely need to remove them, but I'd recommend it. The chances of your upgrade going well are far better if only edgy packages from the officiall repositories are installed.
[12:29] <killerbunny> Is it possible to add programs to the menu that appars when you press the second mouse button on desktop
[12:29] <stittel> gav240: So remove Beryl and stuff. Beryl has officall feisty packages anyway, so you won't need them anymore.
[12:29] <killerbunny> ?
[12:29] <aceninja> liquid: are u there?
[12:29] <gav240z> ok
[12:29] <liquid> aceninja : yup
[12:29] <nonlinear> ok, here's my real questoin.... i have a 100gb drive in toshiba laptop, currently with 1 active partition and an extended divided into 3 logical.  it looks like this |xp (12 g)|docs and settings (13.x g)|working fragmented drive (26.48 g)|and 'archive  i have xp on it and need that for data analysis and writing for work (that is priority on this machine).  i also have a large collection of files that goes along with that.
[12:29] <nonlinear> shit
[12:29] <nonlinear> lol
[12:29] <gav240z> at this stage I'm still a linux noob
[12:29] <stittel> gav240: After your system is in a sane state and after you made a backup, run update-manager and everything wil go automatically from there.
[12:29] <gav240z> I might wait a while until I have a better understanding of everything
[12:30] <axz> is there a wine release for x64?
[12:30] <gav240z> yeah I get an error message using upgrade manager
[12:30] <gav240z> if I post error will that help?
[12:30] <indrek> Where can i see the patchlist of ubuntu's latest kernel?
[12:30] <stittel> gav240z: If you are new to Linux, making a back up of home and making a clean install of Feisty might also be a good idea (not needed if you have /home on a seperate partition as it is recommendable).
[12:30] <zie> hello
[12:30] <uniconformist> nonlinear: don't complicate your life that way.
[12:30] <DjViper> stittel: where on that site exactly?
[12:31] <gav240z> ok
[12:31] <aceninja> liquid: I have a question about the mount command, I know mount /dev/cdrom for example can be used to mount the CDROM if that is the path to the cdrom and the system recognizes it, my RAID1 is in/dev/mapper so how do I mount the damn thing? I tried mount /dev/mapper isw_dacafhih...it didnt work
[12:31] <stittel> DjViper: It's right on the front page.
[12:31] <Heavenquake> lunchtime, brb
[12:31] <stittel> DjViper: Make sure you are downloading the package for your architecture. The page defaults to i386, if you run amd64 you must change it first.
[12:32] <uniconformist> aceninja: you have to enable RAID in the kernel.

[12:32] <liquid> aceninja: if you do fdisk /dev/mapper/[devicename]  then list the devices, do you see some partitions?
[12:32] <gav240z> is this because of Beryl?
[12:32] <nonlinear> ok, here's my real questoin.... i have a 100gb drive in toshiba laptop, currently with 1 active partition and an extended divided into 3 logical.  it looks like this |xp (12 g)|docs and settings (13.x g)|working fragmented drive (26.48 g)|and 'archive" for files that don't move like mp3 (40.x g)|  i need xp for data analysis and writing for work (that is priority on this machine and max performance for that).  the docs and setings is next
[12:32] <stittel> gab240z: These are third party repositories.
[12:32] <DjViper> stittel: yeah, its listed, but there is no .deb package
[12:32] <aceninja> when i type ls /dev/mount i get this: control  isw_dacafhih_Raid 1 Data
[12:33] <aceninja> doesnt that mean Ubuntu already recognizes the RAID array?
[12:33] <stittel> DjViper: Just click on "download pidgin".
[12:33] <aceninja> and I just need to mount it??
[12:33] <indrek> Where can i see the patchlist of ubuntu's latest kernel 2.6.20-15-generic?
[12:33] <stittel> gav240z: Blinding using third-party repositories is not a good idea.
[12:33] <aceninja> Or do I need to enable RAID in kernel, if so how?
[12:33] <uniconformist> aceninja: you can't use ls to check if /dev/mount works or not.
[12:33] <gav240z> blinding? what's that?
[12:33] <stittel> gav240z: Comment them out in /etc/aps/sources.list or use Synaptic to do that.
[12:33] <DjViper> stittel: where?
[12:34] <gav240z> ok
[12:34] <stittel> gav240z: Typing mistake, should have been "blindly".
[12:34] <stittel> DjViper: Do you run i386 or amd64?
[12:34] <pihus> anyone knows if there's a plugin/script for gimp to make panroamas?
[12:34] <gav240z> ok thanks
[12:34] <nonlinear> what happened to all my partition support LOL
[12:35] <DjViper> stittel: i386 I guess
[12:35] <lieter> Hi, i changed my gdm theme and now i dont see a login screen, just a busy mouse cursor. please help
[12:35] <nonlinear> will having 3 primary partiotns make anything run slower or anything
[12:35] <chius> hello good morning from spain
[12:35] <predaeus> pihus, google next time http://panotools.sourceforge.net/
[12:35] <jpjacobs> pihus, there is hugin
[12:35] <chius> I have a problem installing ubunutu feisty
[12:35] <jpjacobs> but thats a standalone prog
[12:35] <DjViper> stittel: there is no mention of Pidgin on the frontpage of that site, only on the sidemenu
[12:35] <chius> i get his message from the beginning when i try to install it
[12:35] <chius> Kernel direct mapping tables up to 100000000 @ 8000-d000
[12:35] <zaen> wow took me a while to figure that one out in the shell.. thanks a lot stittel
[12:35] <zaen> its working now
[12:35] <indrek> !kernel
[12:35] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[12:35] <stittel> gav240z: After that try to remove third party packages. But as I said: If you are new to Linux and if your system contains a lot of third party packages, then reinstalling will be the less painful option.
[12:36] <liquid> aceninja: drop the space inbetween the device and the 1
[12:36] <gav240z> ok thank you, I have spent a fair bit of time setting up Ubuntu
[12:36] <stittel> DjViper: http://www.getdeb.net/download.php?release=817&fpos=0
[12:36] <gav240z> and I need alot of 3rd party stuff
[12:36] <indrek> !patch
[12:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about patch - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:36] <gav240z> because I am a web developer
[12:36] <chius> do u have any idea????
[12:36] <gav240z> I'll look into it
[12:36] <chius> Kernel direct mapping tables up to 100000000 @ 8000-d000
[12:36] <liquid> aceninja; or just mount /dev/mapper/1 or /dev/mapper/Data
[12:37] <gav240z> but at this stage it might be easier to stick with Edgy
[12:37] <DjViper> stittel: thanks
[12:37] <liquid> aceninja : paying attention to the caps
[12:37] <stittel> gav240: You can back up your system configuration from /etc and your user configuration will prevail anyway, if you backup your home dir.
[12:37] <stittel> gav240: Reinstalling doesn't mean reconfiguring everything.
[12:37] <gav240z> ok so unlike windows, if I copy those directories it should be safe?
[12:37] <aceninja> liquid: tried them both , this is what i got: can't find /dev/mapper/Data in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[12:38] <stittel> gav240: home dir (user configuration) yes, in /etc you should be a bit more sensitive.
[12:38] <aceninja> liquid: i typed mount /dev/mapper/l
[12:38] <stittel> gav240: for example things like /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow and /etc/group can be copied back safely.
[12:38] <nonlinear> so there are no opinions on how to partition my drive??? lol!  you all had opinions on the swap! ;)
[12:38] <gav240z> ok
[12:39] <[Flux] > swap depends on how much ram you have
[12:39] <stittel> gav240: regarding the other files I'd usually just look what is still missing from the new configuration and then diff the new config files against my current ones.
[12:39] <[Flux] > if you have alot of ram, a smaller swap is okay
[12:39] <[Flux] > less ram means more swap
[12:39] <gav240z> ok thanks for your help
[12:39] <aceninja> liquid: what exactly am I doing wrong here? How come I cant mount the raid volume?
[12:39] <[Flux] > http://kerneltrap.org/node/6594
[12:39] <stittel> gav240z: You're welcome. Good luck updating/reinstalling.
[12:39] <gav240z> gtg will be back soon
[12:39] <[Flux] > there is a discussion on swap
[12:40] <lieter> Hi, i changed my gdm theme and now i dont see a login screen, just a busy mouse cursor. And GDM uses 99% cpu. :( please help
[12:40] <liquid> aceninja : mount /dev/mapper/1[or Data]  /media/drive (/media/drive must exist already tho)
[12:40] <nonlinear> no, i have the swap figured out... need advice on how to create 6 partiotns on a laptop
[12:40] <stittel> <[Flux] > There are limits. You can't make good use of 1 GiB of swap if you have 128 MiB of RAM.
[12:40] <nonlinear> for xp dual boot
[12:40] <indrek> Where can i see the patchlist of ubuntu's latest kernel 2.6.20-15-generic?
[12:40] <[Flux] > yeah, i didnt mention specifics, as i let it get setup automaticly
[12:40] <[Flux] > lol
[12:40] <stittel> <[Flux] > Keeping a sane ratio between RAM and Swap is advisable.
[12:41] <liquid> aceninja : if you just tell it to mount the device it will look in /etc/fstab to check where to mount it. If its not in there it will throw that error. You have to tell it _what_ to mount and _where_ if its not in the fstab
[12:41] <predaeus> nonlinear, normally installing XP first and then ubutnu afterwards works jsut fine. ubuntu will install a boot loader that has a menu where you can chose between booting ubuntu or windows
[12:41] <Taras> can anyone help?
[12:41] <aceninja> liquid: I just did that and got: mount: mount point /media/drive does not exist
[12:41] <[Flux] > heh i have a 4 gig swap lol
[12:41] <fredl> hmm my firefox doesn't play any mpegs anymore after the upgrade to 7.01
[12:41] <stittel> <[Flux] > Since HD prices are not an issue nowadays, you usually set up to maximum Swap you could make good use of. This is why it is recommended to increazise swap size with RAM size.
[12:41] <stittel> <[Flux] > The more RAM you have, the more swap you can sanely use.
[12:41] <[Flux] > 2 gigs of ram, 4 gigs of swap
[12:41] <fredl> seems that once more it's that Totem nightmare that automatically replaced my mplayer :(
[12:41] <liquid> aceninja : use the correct case. Linux is case sensitive too :)
[12:41] <aceninja> liquid: how do i create the mount point ?
[12:41] <yagami> does anyone have problems using external usb harddisks on ubuntu?
[12:41] <jpjacobs> !help>Taras
[12:42] <DjViper> stittel: do you know how to remove gaim aswell? add/remove says I cant, because of dependencies
[12:42] <stittel> <[Flux] > If you have much RAM of course you can also set up less swap, if you like.
[12:42] <liquid> aceninja : mkdir /media/drive
[12:42] <[Flux] > yeah
[12:42] <socceroos> nope
[12:42] <yagami> mine keeps failing while read/write operations and then i'll have to forcefully eject the drive...i've lost data this way too..
[12:42] <nonlinear> predaeus: yeap, i'm just wondering if i should partiotn my drive into 3  extgended (with 2 logical on each) or 1 primary and 1 entended (with 5 logical)
[12:42] <[Flux] > thanks stittel
[12:42] <yagami> doesnt happen with windows though.

[12:42] <[Flux] > i was always a bit confused on that
[12:42] <[Flux] > :)
[12:42] <stittel> DjViper: Does this package prevent you from installing Gaim and Pidgin in parallel?
[12:42] <chius> i dont have such problems because i cant install ubuntu

[12:42] <mpt> I have accidentally set a menu item to trigger whenever I press "Y", thanks to the wonder of GTK's editable menu accelerators. How can I reverse this without turning off the accelerator customization altogether?
[12:42] <DjViper> stittel: dont know yet
[12:42] <yagami> so i was wondering if there are any kernel options i should be aware of that can avert the problem.
[12:42] <socceroos> what is the format of the drive? (fat32/ntfs/ext3)
[12:42] <Taras> oic
[12:42] <fredl> does anybody know why totem doesn't seem to play directly from firefox and how I can debug what's going on?
[12:42] <aceninja> liquid: did the mkdir, now i get :mount: special device /dev/mapper/l does not exist
[12:42] <yagami> anyone?
[12:42] <stittel> DjViper: Don't remove Gaim until you need to.
[12:42] <DjViper> stittel: okay
[12:42] <yagami> socceroos: fat32.
[12:43] <stittel> DjViper: ubuntu-desktop depends on Gaim, just removing Gaim will give you trouble.
[12:43] <MrStein> OK, where the hell are the system requirements hidden ????

[12:43] <liquid> aceninja : was that a one or an ell?
[12:43] <nonlinear> format of my drive??? right now ntfs/ext3,
[12:43] <predaeus> nonlinear, not sure, I think I've got it more like the latter
[12:43] <stittel> DjViper: Before you start Pidgin for the first time, also make sure to backup you ~/.gaim directory.
[12:43] <aceninja> liquid: l
[12:43] <aceninja> should it be a one?
[12:43] <DjViper> stittel: okay, thanks
[12:43] <nonlinear> i want to share some stuff (fat) but i'm concerned about files over 4 gigs, so will decide on taht later
[12:43] <nonlinear> pre: ok,
[12:43] <fredl> does anybody know why totem doesn't seem to play directly from firefox and how I can debug what's going on?
[12:44] <nonlinear> i gotta roboot, i'll be back muhaha
[12:44] <liquid> aceninja : tried the same command with Data instead of l?
[12:44] <aceninja> liquid: yep
