[03:05] <erUSUL> dalila: dalila afaik ps mouse are not "hotplug" you may need to reconfigure x or even reboot to make sure that the kernel sees the mouse... to reconf X try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[03:05] <John[1] > Could someone help me one on one to help me fix my problem?
[03:06] <erUSUL> John[1] : Updated and fixed xserver-xorg-core packages has been uploaded. It is now safe to upgrade the  system with 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade'. To make sure that your mirror has the new version do 'sudo apt-get update' then 'apt-cache policy  xserver-xorg-core' and check that the candidate is 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10.4
[03:07] <munsa> dalila sudo dpkg reconfigure xserver  i think
[03:07] <freaky_> webguy: to make it more readable, something like: echo -e '\n-----------------------------\n'`date`'\n-----------------------------\n'
[03:07] <BHSPitLappy> is xserver-xorg-core 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10.3 safe?
[03:07] <munsa> Anyone know how to make your own repositorys
[03:07] <munsa> ??
[03:08] <webguy> thanks!
[03:08] <John[1] > I ran the command and I have the 1:1.0.2 Obuntu 10.4 but it says it is not installed
[03:08] <munsa> I have a biunch of debs I want to put into a repo
[03:08] <Thunderpants> BHSPitLappy, no
[03:08] <dalila> is it possible just to reconfigure mouse without doing entrie xserver  i dont want to mess to much with tihs
[03:08] <BHSPitLappy> munsa, there's a howto in ubuntuforums.org
[03:08] <dalila> John[1] : i dont have the link for the xserver file but i can send you the file if you want
[03:08] <BHSPitLappy> munsa, try a search there?
[03:08] <pd222> How do I change the font size and icon size in the desktop ?

[03:11] <BHSPitLappy> rukuarti1, yes, I can unplug that eth cable and plug it into my laptop, and it'll work.
[03:12] <pd222> shawnr_: ok did that
[03:12] <pd222> ok got it now
[03:12] <rukuarti1> BHSPitLappy: can you /msg me what happens when you type "ifconfig" in a terminal?
[03:12] <frahi> BHSPitLappy: check if /var/log/messages contains some kernel failures
[03:12] <rukuarti1> frahi: oh, didja steal the problem? :P
[03:12] <shawnr_> pd222, the desktop is actually a folder (of file) so you need to set nautilus folder zoom icon properties
[03:12] <pd222> shawnr_: thanks i got it to shrink now
[03:13] <MasterShadow> puh
[03:13] <pd222> I also have one more size problem. In thunderbird, gaim etc, the font size is too huge, how can i reduce it too

[03:13] <John[1] > <erUSUL> I did that and it says just what you asked me to check.
[03:13] <Thunderpants> bit_doidao, check its 10.4
[03:13] <rukuarti> SkimO: Sure thing mate
[03:13] <SkimO> bit_doidao: backup your current /etc/X11/xorg.conf first
[03:14] <John[1] > now what
[03:14] <SkimO> rukuarti can you dcc send me the file please?
[03:14] <rukuarti> SkimO: workin' on it

[03:17] <Ash-Fox> eternalswd, there is a dynamic port option you can use, which will create a simple socks5 proxy port on your side.
[03:18] <rukuarti> BHSPitLappy: /msg me "ifconfig -a" as well :p

[03:22] <immolo> I was wondering does linux show hyperthreading as two cpus?
[03:22] <SkimO> rikiartic didnt worked :( it is for an Intel board, I have an ATI one, Satellite A75
[03:22] <axisme> yes
[03:22] <SkimO> anyone with a toshiba Satellite A75? I need /etc/X11/xorg.conf file please
[03:23] <[MysT] > Hi people!! Anywones knows how to run nvclock-gtk? or nvclock-qt? (i have Kubuntu dapper). Seems non of the apps/commands exist
[03:23] <frahi> SkimO: !google toshiba Satellite A75 xorg.conf
[03:23] <[MysT] > and i have allready installed
[03:23] <SkimO> frahi: already did that :P
[03:24] <SkimO> browising google over links is not good
[03:24] <kq> the other day i received an auto-update of xorg-server, and when i rebooted, gdm couldn't start because of this error "ee: no device detected - fatal error: no screens found"... i tried to restore my backup of xorg.conf, but nothing... and i already tried to reconfigure xorg-server (although i don't know if i did it right; the first time i did it with aticonfig) but it doesn't work... any idea of what i should do?
[03:24] <fyrestrtr> SkimO: http://plaza.ufl.edu/redboots/
[03:24] <SkimO> kq: We are in the same here, I am starting to believe the update was broken
[03:24] <Crusader_Tech> Could someone help a Linux-Curious Tech get his nVidia 6200 working on a fresh install of Ubuntu?
[03:24] <fyrestrtr> you both need to read the topic
[03:25] <Hobbsee> kq: SkimO see the /topic
[03:25] <cast> how common are bad experiences with this ntfsresize?
[03:25] <cast> Crusader_Tech: its in the wiki
[03:25] <fyrestrtr> !nvidia
[03:25] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:25] <kq> Hobbsee: damn it's a common thing  :/
[03:25] <SkimO> hehehe, nice topic!
[03:25] <SkimO> thanks!
[03:25] <kq> Hobbsee: thanks
[03:25] <SkimO> doing IRC over text mode is something I didnt do since 8 years ago!
[03:26] <Crusader_Tech> Well that's the problem.  I was following the instructions on the Ubuntu site, and I see all of 2 commands to do in term.  that's great, but the second one isn't working.
[03:26] <cast> SkimO: we do it all the time, us irssi users :)
[03:26] <fyrestrtr> !doesn't work > SkimO
[03:26] <Crusader_Tech> The first step seemed to download and install it, but the second command is giving an error about an m5d sum.  I'm assuming it's the command to actually enable the driver.
[03:26] <SkimO> cast: does mphoenix by vasaggo works with irssi ? hehehe
[03:27] <rukuartic> Does anyone know if you can do a Server install from the Desktop ISO?
[03:27] <SkimO> I will c ya all, gotta solve this fast enough!
[03:27] <fyrestrtr> Crusader_Tech: which instructions are you following?
[03:27] <fyrestrtr> rukuartic: you cannot.
[03:27] <Crusader_Tech> Let me find them, and thank you for the help.
[03:27] <Ragnaroek> sup?
[03:27] <LOLZebra> sup
[03:27] <SkimO> rukuartic: kind off...
[03:27] <rukuartic> SkimO: How so?
[03:27] <SkimO> rukuartic, install minimal, then remove packages...
[03:27] <LOLZebra> interest
[03:27] <Ragnaroek> I'll think about it
[03:27] <fyrestrtr> you can't install minimal from the desktop cd, only from the alternate dc.

[03:27] <fyrestrtr> err, cd.
[03:28] <SkimO> ok gotta go.. c ya guys!
[03:28] <rukuartic> skiidoo: Later!
[03:28] <fyrestrtr> !away > h4ch3r
[03:28] <kq> so now there's a new package, i could fix the xorg issue by simply doing apt-get install xserver-xorg-core ?
[03:28] <fyrestrtr> kq: sure.
[03:28] <rukuartic> fyrestrtr: So the server install CD, is the biggest difference no XOrg?
[03:29] <fyrestrtr> rukuartic: no.
[03:29] <kq> fyrestrtr: thanks a lot
[03:29] <fyrestrtr> rukuartic: different kernels, different options, etc.
[03:29] <fyrestrtr> rukuartic: for a guaranteed fun time, always use the alternate cd :)
[03:29] <rukuartic> fyrestrtr: Eh, I'm not enough of a poweruser to know what a differenct kernel would do for me... care to enlighten me?
[03:30] <kapheroph> hello all :)
[03:30] <Crusader_Tech> fyrestrtr: Now I can't find the post.  Could you link me to the instructions, and I'll try again.
[03:30] <fyrestrtr> rukuartic: well for one, if you have any modern processor, you probably want a -686 kernel, which has support for SMP (that's dual processors, or hyperthreading support). The default -386 kernel is optimized for 486 machines.
[03:30] <fyrestrtr> !nvidia > Crusader_Tech
[03:31] <Crusader_Tech> I know windows very well, and I'm a PC Tech for a living. So I should be able to understand move of the instructions you give.
[03:31] <Crusader_Tech> *most
[03:31] <fyrestrtr> to be honest, knowing windows very well might be a disadvantage to you.
[03:31] <tom__> coucou
[03:31] <rukuartic> fyrestrtr: Ah, only with a 386 I think... I'll probably end up using the server install though. Would you happen to have another bit of information for me?
[03:31] <Crusader_Tech> That is true fyrestrtr.
[03:32] <freaky_> gotta run thx ttyl
[03:32] <fyrestrtr> rukuartic: what do you plan to use the machine for?
[03:32] <sorush20> hi what linx header should I install?
[03:32] <rukuartic> fyrestrtr: I heard its dumb to mess with permissions on files (eg in /sbin)... but I'm looking for a way to let users reboot the computer from ssh... Is it possible to let that happen by setting "reboot" as a special group, then giving out group membership to those people?
[03:33] <rukuartic> fyrestrtr: CounterStrike server :P its a hobby.
[03:33] <rukuartic> sorush20: The ones associated with yer kernel :P
[03:33] <selinuxium> hi all, I am looking for an ebook reader app. Any recommendations? Opening text files in gedit is a pain because you lose where you are!
[03:33] <fyrestrtr> rukuartic: ermmm *blink* You want people to be able to reboot? Anyone?
[03:33] <OoberMick> rukuartic: you can do this with sudo
[03:33] <rukuartic> sorush20: "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)" I think
[03:33] <fyrestrtr> sorush20: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[03:33] <rukuartic> fyrestrtr: Nope, people in the "reboot" group
[03:33] <ISOLATEDViRuS> how do i enable the XGL super cool stuffs?
[03:34] <fyrestrtr> !xgl > ISOLATEDViRuS
[03:34] <rukuartic> ISOLATEDViRuS: Go onto http://wiki.ubuntu.com" and search for "xgl" they have a good howto.
[03:34] <fyrestrtr> rukuartic: yes, that's one way to do it.
[03:34] <rukuartic> OoberMick: Yeah, but everytime I use visudo it whines at me. I can't get the syntax right :P

[03:34] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs

[03:37] <frahi> this is a line that enables user 'frahi' to use etherwake
[03:38] <rage> Hey, is it possible to use the windows key as a modifier key and use it to bring up the gnome panel by its self? So example, pressing Windows + C will bring up a calculator and Windows button will bring up the panel?
[03:38] <frahi> there are many good examples
[03:38] <frahi> rage: yes
[03:38] <fyrestrtr> rage: windows key is mapped to 'meta' so yes.
[03:39] <rage> Mmmmm
[03:39] <rage> Well, I've mapped it to mod4
[03:39] <Crusader_Tech> fyrestrtr: Mind taking a look at that error?
[03:39] <rage> but I cant bind it to bring up the panel
[03:39] <fyrestrtr> what error?
[03:39] <rage> When its a modifier
[03:40] <Crusader_Tech> when I try to install the nvidia drivers
[03:40] <Crusader_Tech> sorry
[03:40] <pluto_> hello
[03:40] <fyrestrtr> except, the grand error of life......
[03:40] <Crusader_Tech> Error: your X configuration has been altered.
[03:40] <Crusader_Tech> This script cannot proceed automatically. If you believe that this
[03:40] <Crusader_Tech> not correct, you can update the md5sum entry executing the following

[03:40] <Crusader_Tech> md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum
[03:40] <Crusader_Tech> otherwise edit manually /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the Driver section
[03:40] <Crusader_Tech> from nv to nvidia.
[03:40] <rukuartic> frahi: Thanks for that... ...now what does NOPASSWD do, just tell them that they don't need to type their password for conformation?

[03:40] <pluto_> does anybody of you have problems with capturing audio?
[03:40] <Crusader_Tech> ah, thx fyre, I'll get that.
[03:40] <fyrestrtr> Crusader_Tech: just open up /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- find Driver "nv" and change it to Driver "nvidia"
[03:40] <rukuartic> pluto_: Short crazy idea... try running your program with "aoss"... might be having software mixing problems?
[03:40] <pluto_> i can hear myself on the microphone but programs cannot capture audio
[03:41] <fyrestrtr> Crusader_Tech: save the file, and then restart X (sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart)
[03:41] <Crusader_Tech> thanks, i'll go do that now, if I can find it.  I'm still not used to the file system in linux
[03:41] <frahi> rukuartic: yes
[03:41] <rage> frahi and fyrestrtr: So yeah, I can either use it as the modifier or as Super_L, but I cannot get it to be a modifier and use it to launch the panel by itself
[03:41] <fyrestrtr> Crusader_Tech: sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:41] <rukuartic> Crusader_Tech: Its fairly logical once you get used to it... Its nice because its organized and what not... all the programs in /bin, etc etc.
[03:41] <rukuartic> Crusader_Tech: If you look around for "Linux file system explained" on google they'll give you a quick overrun of it.
[03:42] <Crusader_Tech> thanks rukuartic
[03:42] <Crusader_Tech> well, this put me in some kind if editor.  Man I feel like a newb
[03:43] <pluto_> nope that didn't work
[03:43] <rukuartic> Crusader_Tech: We were all newbs once. This is a friendly place though, don't worry :)
[03:43] <rage> frahi and fyrestrtr: Basically I'm trying to replicate the way Windows treats the windows key, if you're arnt familar with it. Pressing the Windows key brings up the panel, but you can also use it as a modifier key i.e Windows + C to bring up a calculator. I want to replicate this in Gnome, use it as a modifier as well as something to bring up the panel.
[03:43] <Crusader_Tech> good to hear
[03:43] <pluto_> i think some problem in alsa config
[03:43] <kartik> I have dumped ubuntu locally and want to install packages from it using ftp, how do I do that? ftp://user:pass@ipaddress/ubuntu dapper main restricted seems not working!
[03:43] <rukuartic> rage: Get xbindkeys
[03:43] <tristan__> hello all. Is it difficult to compile the kernel?
[03:43] <rage> Mmmm
[03:43] <kyja> please, I have asked many times. gnomebaker does not startup. it will in another login but not this one,. I realy need to fix it.
[03:44] <fyrestrtr> Crusader_Tech: just scroll down till you see Driver "nv" -- change it to Driver "nvidia" -- then, look at the bottom of the screen, you'll see a bar with shortcuts to commands, stuff like ^O -- find the one that's for 'Write'. ^ is the ctrl key, so if its says ^O Write, hit ctrl+O
[03:44] <SkimO> change the topic for:  If your xorg is broken after a recent update, then:  apt-get upgrade
[03:44] <fyrestrtr> tristan__: normally, you don't need to do it, if you do, its not difficult.
[03:44] <chamo> kyja, have you run it in sudo once at least ?
[03:44] <pluto_> but it used to work the first time i booted to ubuntu,then from the second time...........
[03:44] <SkimO> laters
[03:44] <kyja> mmm no
[03:44] <pluto_> does anybidy know how to fix that??
[03:44] <kyja> chamo: I will try that
[03:45] <tristan__> fyrestrtr, well I would need to because ACPI for toshiba seems to not be compiled in the kernel provided with Ubuntu
[03:45] <Dimensions> how do i add a script to run as normal user on start up of ubuntu ?
[03:45] <rukuartic> rage: xbindkeys-config will help you configure it, xbindkeys will apply it. So set it to run when you login, (System>Preferences>Sessoins | Startup Programs)
[03:45] <espenel> ?
[03:45] <rukuartic> rage: It being "xbindkeys"
[03:45] <fyrestrtr> !kernel > tristan__

[03:46] <rukuartic> ubotu: need to reboot?
[03:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about need to reboot? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:46] <r000t> someone pls help.. as soon as my screensaver starts my whole computer hangs????
[03:46] <kyja> it is not already running.
[03:46] <Crusader_Tech> fyrestrtr: when I search the file for "NV" I get "phrase not found".
[03:46] <rukuartic> r000t: don't use a screensaver?
[03:46] <fyrestrtr> Crusader_Tech: nv not NV
[03:46] <tristan__> rukuartic, and also to extend my battery life because it onlu last 1h40... I could decrease the screen luminosity
[03:46] <fyrestrtr> Crusader_Tech: stuff in linux is case sensitive
[03:46] <Crusader_Tech> fyrestrtr: same thing
[03:46] <Crusader_Tech> I see that now.  still doesn't see it
[03:46] <rukuartic> tristan__: gotcha... might be worth it. But its pretty tough, as I've understood.
[03:46] <pluto_> does anybody here know how to fix alsa config?

[03:46] <webguy> how do i set up three different pop/imap accounts under one user?
[03:47] <mansu> hi all
[03:47] <Crusader_Tech> and to double check, I am in xorg.conf
[03:47] <fyrestrtr> Crusader_Tech: scroll down to Section "Device"
[03:47] <r000t> rukuartic: is that a fix ... or a solution.. or is it dont use a dist that dont passes fixes through proper q&a
[03:47] <Crusader_Tech> I see it
[03:47] <fyrestrtr> Crusader_Tech: you'll see there Driver "something" -- whatever that something is, replace it with nvidia
[03:47] <tristan__> Anyone knows if the next kernel will have toshiba ACPI compiled?
[03:47] <Crusader_Tech> it's "vesa" at the moment
[03:47] <kyja> I dont understand that. gthread?
[03:48] <rukuartic> r000t: Its a fix and a solution :P don't use a screensaver, your comp doesn't hang. Using old hardware?
[03:48] <mansu> i am a kde user and hence i would like to use kde... what is the best way to do it in ubuntu, install ubuntu and apt-get install kde or install kubuntu? but i also use some x and gnome apps.. so i need all of them
[03:48] <kyja> gthread
[03:48] <fyrestrtr> Crusader_Tech: doesn't matter, just replace it :)
[03:48] <Crusader_Tech> seems the file is read only. *sigh*
[03:48] <rukuartic> mansu: Installing from the kubuntu iso would be easier, but its just as plausible to install kubuntu-desktop from apt-get.
[03:48] <r000t> rukuartic: it worked before the xorg upgrade.. i have a nvidia 6600
[03:48] <fyrestrtr> Crusader_Tech: you need to open it with sudo close the program, and open it by typing this command exactly:
[03:49] <IdleOne> "gdk-imlib1 linux-image-386 linux-restricted-modules-386 totem " these for packages are being held back for upgrade is this normal?
[03:49] <tristan__> mansu, I have tried both. I would advise you to do the first because you will get more programs
[03:49] <fyrestrtr> sudo pine /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:49] <IdleOne> four*
[03:49] <r000t> rukuartic: athlon 64x2 2gb ram .. not old
[03:49] <rukuartic> r000t: Mmm... not technical on that level... Is it every screen saver or just that one?
[03:49] <sorush20> guys i keep getting this error what do I do http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21474
[03:49] <r000t> rukuartic: as soon as i open screensaver properties it hangs .. and i mean the whole comp.. not only X
[03:49] <mansu> tristan__, ok will install ubuntu and then update... tht sounds good enough..
[03:50] <realist> r000t: could it be you're using opengl screensavers, without glx support enabled drivers?
[03:50] <rukuartic> r000t: never heard of that happening o-o, thats odd. like I said, not the most knowledgable user here... just following my old windows fix. if there's a problem thats too hard to fix, work around it :P
[03:50] <tristan__> mansu, after do a sudo apt-get install kde-desktop-environment and not only kde
[03:51] <Crusader_Tech> fyrestrtr: sudo: pine: command not found
[03:51] <pluto_> or better yet install kubuntu-desktop package
[03:51] <OoberMick> r000t: it sounds like your hardware is hanging. I have a similar problem with my radeon card.
[03:51] <fyrestrtr> Crusader_Tech: sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:51] <realist> r000t: otherwise it could be just driver and/or hardware issue
[03:51] <Crusader_Tech> ok.  looks like some kind of editor?
[03:51] <mansu> tristan__, will do that thx... are there any tutorials or links for this?
[03:52] <pluto_> is there a way to configure alsa?
[03:52] <r000t> realist: im usung nvidia proprietary drivers
[03:52] <tristan__> mansu, well it is not too hard. You install ubuntu, open the terminal type it and wait for the download and installation
[03:52] <pluto_> mansu just install the kubuntu-desktop package from synaptic
[03:53] <Nimwei> Where is the default make path?
[03:53] <Crusader_Tech> fyrestrtr: That one worked.  It seems to have put me into some kind of editor.
[03:53] <Nimwei> or make install
[03:53] <mansu> pluto_, thx
[03:53] <r000t> OoberMick: it started after the xorg update yesterday
[03:53] <fyrestrtr> Nimwei: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:53] <tristan__> it seems many people have troubles with the new xorg...
[03:53] <pluto_> mansu_ remember kubuntu desktop takes a lot off your broadband
[03:54] <mansu> pluto_, i am a developer, so i need the regular gcc stuff.. is there a standard package that will install all the developer tools?
[03:54] <OoberMick> r000t: and did you read the topic?
[03:54] <fyrestrtr> mansu: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:54] <Nimwei> fyrestrtr: Ok, so build-essential will install make, but what will the path be once its installed?
[03:54] <mansu> pluto_,  hmm can you give me an approximate size of the kubuntu-desktop?
[03:54] <mansu> fyrestrtr, thx
[03:55] <tristan__> mansu, 500Mo I think
[03:55] <OoberMick> Nimwei: /usr/bin/make
[03:55] <realist> r000t: have you since upgraded to 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10.4 ?
[03:55] <Nimwei> OoberMick:  Thanks
[03:55] <tristan__> mansu, for kde-desktop-environment
[03:55] <pluto_> mansu_   actually it is package which installs all the packages in kubuntu,takes about 400MB of download
[03:55] <r000t> OoberMick: that i have tries i use the old xorg and there is no difference
[03:55] <Crusader_Tech> fyrestrtr: That command seems to have opened some kind of editor i'm not familiar with.
[03:55] <mansu> tristan__, hmm thats about half my monthly limit :(
[03:55] <pluto_> mansu_ if you don't need all the software just install kdebase for the basic KDE
[03:56] <tristan__> mansu, then just install Kubuntu and not Ubuntu
[03:56] <OoberMick> r000t: old and new x.org cause the same problem but it only started yesterday?
[03:56] <realist> r000t: did you reconfigure xorg after the upgrade?
[03:56] <realist> It 'may' have clobbered your xorg.conf
[03:56] <tristan__> maybe it is even possible to install kde-desktop-environment after installing Ubuntu using a Kubuntu CD but I don't know. Others might know
[03:56] <r000t> realist: i copied over my old working xorg.conf
[03:56] <fyrestrtr> Crusader_Tech: use the arrow keys to scroll, find the line, change it, then look at the bottom for commands. The ^ symbol means the ctrl key. Find the command to save or write. If it says ^O Write, hit ctrl+O
[03:57] <mansu> pluto_, yeah will do that probably, or will look for a kind soul who will provide me with some b/w
[03:57] <r000t> OoberMick: exactly
[03:57] <Crusader_Tech> Thanks fyre
[03:57] <realist> r000t: have you tried glxinfo etc?
[03:57] <r000t> nope
[03:57] <lale> hello all
[03:57] <r000t> realist: im pretty sure it has to do with gl..
[03:57] <lale> I have problems burning DVDs
[03:57] <lale> with k3b
[03:57] <jpjacobs> !mbr
[03:57] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:58] <r000t> realist:  do i fix it
[03:58] <pluto_> mansu_ you'll also need to install gtk2-qt-engine to render gtk apps (i.e with smooth borders....)
[03:58] <OoberMick> r000t: sounds like realist may be on the right path. Do you have backup of xorg.conf?
[03:58] <[b] urk> Is there a way to send mail from terminal in ubuntu?
[03:58] <realist> OoberMick: they'd copied over their old working config though
[03:59] <r000t> OoberMick: already restored it when i downgraded my xorg. .. to my old working one
[03:59] <lale> k3b burns the DVD, says it's all OK, but then I am not able to mount the DVD neither on my ubuntu PC nor on others.  This is a DELL latitude D610... Can anyone point me to a solution?
[03:59] <lale> burning under windows works
[03:59] <Crusader_Tech> fyrestrtr: Maybe i'm not ready for this.  I can't even move around in this editor.
[03:59] <pluto_> lale_ have you tried burning with gnomebaker?
[04:00] <lale> not yet
[04:00] <Crusader_Tech> fyrestrtr: Arrow keys dont do anything.
[04:00] <realist> I guess when you stop X, make sure the nvidia-glx kernel module actually unloads
[04:00] <lale> but don't they use the same backend?
[04:00] <r000t> OoberMick: lots of people on another channel had the sam problems with x and got so pissed off they changed dist
[04:00] <realist> rmmod nvidia=glx
[04:00] <realist> modprobe nvidia-glx
[04:00] <mansu> pluto_, will do that also
[04:00] <lale> pluto_: I don't have many other DVD to kill
[04:01] <lale> pluto_: :-(
[04:01] <pluto_> lale_,oh
[04:01] <OoberMick> r000t: perhaps you should try reinstalling the nvidia stuff. I don't have an nvidia card but it sounds like the problem lies there
[04:01] <OLhome> xgl option when installing ubuntu now?
[04:01] <realist> r000t: also, make sure you're running xserver-xorg-core/dapper uptodate 1:1.0.2-0ubuntu10.4
[04:01] <webguy> how do i set up three different pop/imap accounts under one user?
[04:01] <lale> pluto_: I remember having read something about that problem but I can not really find the document again... :8
[04:02] <realist> OLhome: I wouldn't recommend running it on older hardware, or production systems...
[04:02] <r000t> OoberMick: already tried that :)
[04:02] <pluto_> lale_,isn't k3b a seperate application?gnomebaker is just a front end
[04:02] <Luc1> How use swat? I install package: samba amd swat. In browser http://localhost:901 dont go.
[04:02] <lale> pluto_: yes but both should use the same utilities for writing data
[04:02] <lale> anyway, let's try
[04:03] <BeepAU> hey guys, i wanted to ask you about playing games in linux. does it match up to windows? will all games play on ubuntu?
[04:03] <axisme> BeepAU, no
[04:03] <axisme> BeepAU, I use cedega for some
[04:03] <axisme> its good for some and bad for others
[04:03] <pluto_> BeepAU_,not all of them work
[04:03] <BeepAU> axisme -- don't you have to pay to use cedega?
[04:03] <axisme> The big titles tend to play better than the middle of the market ones
[04:04] <axisme> Yes but I pay for it
[04:04] <axisme> if you dont want to use cedega then good luck :-P
[04:04] <OoberMick> r000t: I'm running out of ideas ;) Make sure you have newest (10.4) version of X. Stop X. remove and reload the nvidia drive (like realist) suggests. start X. If that doesn't work... cry
[04:04] <axisme> its like 4 a month
[04:04] <BeepAU> axisme -- how much is it? is it availabile all over the world?
[04:04] <pluto_> lale_,you were right both of them are frontends
[04:04] <r000t> OoberMick: done all that already .. already crying .. thanks anyway man :(
[04:05] <webguy> can anyone help me?
[04:06] <realist> r000t: if all that fails, it might be worth trying the card with the open source "nv" drivers
[04:06] <pluto_> webguy_,what happened ?
[04:06] <try_iT_556> webguy, what is the problem?
[04:06] <lale> anyway I don't have any blank DVD at hand
[04:06] <webguy> how do i set up three different pop/imap accounts under one user?
[04:06] <realist> Failing that, try the card in another slot, or another PC
[04:06] <axisme> beepau, it doesnt replace windows though...if you play lots of games...dual boot
[04:06] <bahadir> hello guys
[04:06] <pluto_> lale_,have you checked format in which it is burnt?
[04:06] <bahadir> cld you pls advise how to start xgl
[04:07] <webguy> pluto_: try_iT_556 ?
[04:07] <BeepAU> axisme -- i was thinking i'd like to get rid of windows eventually, but i might keep it if games in ubuntu are going to be difficult.
[04:07] <pluto_> lale_,do DVD's burnt in linux work in windows?
[04:07] <try_iT_556> webguy, witch mail client do you use?
[04:08] <axisme> BeepAU, just keep it for games. I removed it and went Ubuntu all the way. I regret it when i try to play games though
[04:08] <pluto_> webguy_,well i use evolution
[04:08] <bahadirt> cld you pls advise how to start xgl
[04:08] <nabil2199> i have a HP omnibook xt 6200 with an ati radeon mobility m6 ly i tried to install the ati  driver but the x server crashes
[04:08] <erUSUL> pluto_: if burned with joliet extensions (large filenames) there will be no problem
[04:08] <lale> pluto_: what do you mean by format?  DVDs burnt in linux do not work in windows
[04:08] <webguy> try_iT_556:  postfix
[04:08] <try_iT_556> webguy, i use thunderbird, and i can create as many accounts as i want
[04:08] <bahadirt> !xgl
[04:08] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing (window) manager) and XGL (Xserver architecture layered on top of OpenGL) howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager XGL+compiz help in #ubuntu-xgl  See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems
[04:08] <webguy> i need to create accounts on the server
[04:08] <Linuturk_code> BeepAU, games in ubuntu are great
[04:09] <axisme> erm no they arent
[04:09] <BeepAU> axisme -- if it's in this list (http://transgaming.org/gamesdb/) does that mean i can play it in cedega?
[04:09] <try_iT_556> webguy, hummmm little bit complicated.... i dont work with postfix.. really sorry
[04:09] <pluto_> lale_,there will be some format option,i don't know i don't have a DVD writer
[04:09] <webguy> thx anyways
[04:09] <BeepAU> Linuturk_code -- why do you say that?
[04:09] <fmarostica> Anyone known any deb package for glade3?
[04:09] <axisme> in theory....but not all work without issues
[04:09] <webguy> how about you pluto_
[04:09] <webguy> any ideas?
[04:09] <nabil2199> plz help
[04:09] <try_iT_556> webguy, have you look on a channel about postfix?
[04:09] <Linuturk_code> BeepAU, I play a few. Liquid War, Armagetron, Cadimum, Battle for Wesnoth
[04:09] <pluto_> webguy_,nope i have no ideas how to do that
[04:09] <Linuturk_code> BeepAU, I have Homeworld and SimCity 2000 installed via wine
[04:10] <OoberMick> Linuturk_code: i quite like globulation
[04:10] <Linuturk_code> BeepAU, it's not that hard, if you work at it a little
[04:10] <webguy> urg - any other help areas?
[04:10] <pluto_> BeepAU_,Deus EX works well with wine as well
[04:10] <Linuturk_code> there are plenty of native games out there that rock hard
[04:11] <jpjacobs> BeepAU, try Nexuiz... reall sweet
[04:11] <Linuturk_code> FROZEN BUBBLE
[04:11] <nalpha> anyone know what's another software FTP except gFTP coz gFTP is not stable
[04:11] <BeepAU> jpjacobs -- what's that?
[04:11] <jpjacobs> an fps like quake/UT/...
[04:11] <jpjacobs> and free !
[04:11] <Linuturk_code> BeepAU, are you on Ubuntu right now?
[04:11] <BeepAU> Linuturk_code -- yep
[04:11] <lale> jpjacobs: there should be named "cube" or something like that
[04:11] <jpjacobs> nalpha nautilus :p
[04:12] <nalpha> hah
[04:12] <nalpha> can?
[04:12] <lale> jpjacobs: try www.happypenguin.org
[04:12] <nalpha> sure? how i don't know about it... lol
[04:12] <jpjacobs> places>connect to server
[04:12] <BeepAU> so, what is Nexuiz exactly?
[04:12] <Linuturk_code> BeepAU, open up Synaptic, and do a search for these games. "Wesnoth" "Liquid War" "tron"
[04:12] <jpjacobs> see their site
[04:12] <jpjacobs> nexuiz
[04:12] <c0nfidencal> <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:13] <c0nfidencal> upz
[04:13] <Linuturk_code> BeepAU, and another game that starts with C (I think it's cadium
[04:13] <Linuturk_code> )
[04:13] <try_iT_556> do you guys know how can i list all DLL that an application needs? i am cross compiling windows application on UBUNTU
[04:13] <jpjacobs>  www.nexuiz.com
[04:13] <Linuturk_code> BeepAU, Chromium << that's it
[04:13] <chamo> what's the package containing the "aclocal" command again ?
[04:13] <frahi> try_iT_556: there is a tool, i guess its called dependency walker or something
[04:14] <try_iT_556> thx frahi
[04:14] <jpjacobs> BeepAU, like lale said try www.happypenguin.org
[04:14] <Linuturk_code> jpjacobs, is Nexuiz in the repos ?
[04:14] <jpjacobs> nope
[04:15] <jpjacobs> Linuturk_code, but you can download it from their site, and you don't need to compile or anyting, it just runs when you unpack it
[04:15] <Linuturk_code> .deb ?
[04:15] <fmarostica> is There glade3 deb package for ubuntu dapper drake?
[04:16] <jpjacobs> Linuturk_code, nope, just a tar
[04:17] <Linuturk_code> so with tar's, you just unpack them to your home directory and they should work?
[04:17] <nox-Hand> Am I correct in assuming DVD ISO burning is called growisofs? Or what is it?
[04:18] <jpjacobs> Linuturk_code,  it does here
[04:18] <Mr0bvious> I do'nt have a glade3 package. I'm using universe and multiverse too.
[04:18] <Mr0bvious> *don't
[04:19] <Luc1> How invoke SWAT, use my web browser to connect to http://localhost:901?
[04:19] <tamashumi> hello
[04:19] <realist> Linuturk_code: .tar.gz are usually source, which you'd need to configure and compile
[04:19] <ISOLATEDViRuS> i downloaded a mp3 to .ogg converter in the package manager, was this automatically installed and if so how do i access it?
[04:20] <realist> ISO, what was the package called?
[04:20] <Mr0bvious> ISOLATEDViRuS: I just use mp32ogg
[04:20] <ISOLATEDViRuS> i forget, why?
[04:20] <Linuturk_code> realist, but tar are usually binaries that will run out of the box?
[04:21] <realist> Linuturk_code: they could be... would you really trust it though!?
[04:21] <tamashumi> guys any of you have some experience with raid arrays on linux?
[04:21] <tamashumi> I have a problem with it
[04:21] <Linuturk_code> realist, well, my first stop for software is Synaptic
[04:22] <Mr0bvious> Linuturk_code: The tar could just be source code needing to be compiled.
[04:22] <sexcopter8000m> any recommendations for a program to transcode mp3's to a lower bitrate?
[04:23] <realist> Linuturk_code: My instinct would be to try running "dpkg -l |grep mp3" from a console/terminal
[04:23] <realist> sexcopter8000m: lame
[04:23] <ISOLATEDViRuS> where does the package manager download to?
[04:24] <realist> ISOLATEDViRuS: It downloads .deb to /var/cache/apt/archives/
[04:24] <sexcopter8000m> realist, thanks
[04:24] <Mr0bvious> ISOLATEDViRuS: It just downloads a deb package that is made for Ubuntu. It installs it and probably deletes it.
[04:24] <realist> ISOLATEDViRuS: it would most likely install the binary you're after to /usr/bin/
[04:24] <Mr0bvious> Eh I take that back, maybe not deleted.
[04:24] <Jenga> can anybody tell me how much benefit there is in using the Kolivas patchsets?
[04:24] <realist> Mr0bvious: depends on apt's configuration
[04:25] <Linuturk_code> realist, Mr0bvious my guess is, he's installed something from Synaptic and it didn't create an automatic menu for him, right ISOLATEDViRuS
[04:25] <Linuturk_code> ?
[04:26] <Linuturk_code> In which case, he should open Synaptic back up, find the package he installed, right click on it, and select the List Installed Files option to see where everything is installed to and find the file to execute
[04:26] <berg> tc de onde
[04:27] <Mr0bvious> ISOLATEDViRuS: dpkg -l | grep ogg
[04:27] <Mr0bvious> ISOLATEDViRuS: Don't paste it here
[04:27] <Mr0bvious> ISOLATEDViRuS: Use a pastebin (pastebin.ca or whatever is in the /topic)
[04:29] <realist> It's more than likely "mp32ogg"
[04:29] <Mr0bvious> realist: I agree.
[04:30] <wheels3572> Can anyone help me with these errors I get when I try to run the update manager please

[04:31] <wheels3572> I know about Pastebin lol
[04:32] <wheels3572> I dont understand how I can get a virus in Linux
[04:32] <wheels3572> lol
[04:32] <realist> wheels3572: usually they need to be installed, some how.
[04:32] <Mr0bvious> wheels3572: You didn't. You gotta use the sudo command not su
[04:32] <wheels3572> ahhhhhhhhhh not su ok :)
[04:33] <Mr0bvious> wheels3572: And please use a pastebin instead of flooding a channel.

[04:33] <axisme> the fact he can su at all is surprising :-P
[04:33] <axisme> oh i can too
[04:33] <axisme> how odd
[04:33] <axisme> hehe
[04:33] <wheels3572> Ohhh ok Mr0bvious
[04:33] <Mr0bvious> I know how to use su instead of sudo.
[04:33] <ISOLATEDViRuS> MrObvious, is there a way to mp32ogg an entire directory?
[04:33] <Mr0bvious> ISOLATEDViRuS: cd /path/to/dir && mp32ogg *
[04:34] <Mr0bvious> ISOLATEDViRuS: Use the * wildcard
[04:34] <drpc> hello
[04:34] <Mr0bvious> drpc: Hi
[04:34] <ISOLATEDViRuS> so for example, cd /path && mp32ogg *.mp3   ?
[04:34] <Mr0bvious> ISOLATEDViRuS: Yup
[04:34] <drpc> Mr0bvious i want help
[04:34] <joshua__> What's the deal with sudo anyways...it seems more logical to just set the root password and use su...you're doing mostly the same thing, just less typing...?
[04:34] <ISOLATEDViRuS> thanks a ton dude.

[04:36] <tristan__> drpc, sudo apt-get install kde-desktop-environment
[04:36] <Mr0bvious> wheels3572: Does it ask for your password?
[04:36] <wheels3572> yes
[04:36] <wheels3572> and I type it in
[04:36] <tristan__> drp, gives you a full install of KDE like if you have installed Kubuntu
[04:36] <Mr0bvious> Oh. Hmm dunno.
[04:36] <Mr0bvious> I don't use GUI junk, just apt-get
[04:36] <wheels3572> lol I know makes 2 of us stumped me too
[04:36] <wheels3572> lol
[04:36] <wheels3572> Ahhhhh
[04:36] <Mr0bvious> sudo apt-get install (package)
[04:36] <drpc> E: Couldn't find package kde-desktop-environment
[04:37] <Mr0bvious> Or sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade upgrades your entire system with the latest.
[04:37] <Linuturk_code> Mr0bvious, why not use aptitude ?
[04:37] <erUSUL> drpc: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[04:38] <kyja> grrrrrrr
[04:38] <drpc> OK
[04:38] <Mr0bvious> drpc: In a terminal cat /etc/apt/sources.list and paste it to a pastebin website. There is one in the topic if that doesn't work what erUSUL suggested.
[04:38] <wheels3572> Ohhh thanks I didn't know about that command :)
[04:38] <drpc> yes
[04:38] <Mr0bvious> Linuturk_code: Just the way I roll.
[04:38] <Mr0bvious> wheels3572: You're welcome.
[04:38] <jpjacobs> kyja, what's the prob? constipated? :p
[04:38] <drpc> can u give me new sources.list
[04:38] <joshua__> the "gui junk" is pretty handy when your just browsing... :?)
[04:38] <magus_x> my problem solved by itself
[04:38] <magus_x> o.o
[04:38] <kyja> jpjacobs: =]  hehe
[04:38] <magus_x> Tomcat_, : thats good lol
[04:39] <Linuturk_code> Mr0bvious, I'm just curious, b/c I heard that apt-get doesn't handle dependencies as well, that's all
[04:39] <Mr0bvious> drpc: DO what erUSUL said about the sudo apt-get...
[04:39] <drpc> ok i do it now
[04:39] <Mr0bvious> Linuturk_code: It should be the same. I never had any problems.
[04:39] <kyja> jpjacobs: I dont understand why gnomebaker works in another login but not this one. it acts like it will start but never opens. terminal says a thread of it already exits yet it realy does not.
[04:39] <joshua__> MrObvious, can you search the avail. packages from the command line?
[04:40] <joshua__> ..err terminal..
[04:40] <tristan__> When I installed Kubuntu it did not installed the package kde... Why?
[04:40] <speed0001>  :)
[04:41] <jpjacobs> kyja, that's prolly some stale lockfile
[04:41] <kyja> jpjacobs: stale lockfile??
[04:41] <speed0001> jpjacobs
[04:41] <gdb> tristan__: There is no package called "kde"
[04:41] <jpjacobs> kyje, like gnomebaker crashed, or being killed. look in a dir like .gnomebacker or something like that
[04:41] <Mastastealth> hey guys, i just uncheck "Enable Wirless" in my netowrk manager, and now my wireless USB key (which was using ndiswrapper) seems to be completely undetected. problem is, i dont see the "enable wireless" anymore. where can i manually reenable it?
[04:41] <jpjacobs> speed0001, hm?
[04:41] <tristan__> gdb, in my synaptic there is...
[04:41] <Jenga> Can anybody tell me what benefit there is in using the Kolivas patches when compiling a kernel?
[04:42] <gdb> tristan__: *shrugs*
[04:42] <gdb> There is no "kde" package.
[04:42] <Mr0bvious> tristan__: dpkg -l | grep kubuntu-desktop <-does that return anything?
[04:42] <tristan__> Mr0bvious, yes
[04:42] <Mr0bvious> Ok
[04:42] <Mr0bvious> Then KDE is installed.
[04:42] <sexcopter8000m> ok, how can i change the quality of ogg files to save on space?
[04:42] <smbrow14> I'm having sort of a strange problem that I'm hoping someone can help me with: for some reason, I can only open some of the applications in System -> Administration (eg, synaptic, device manager
[04:43] <Mr0bvious> smbrow14: Errors?
[04:43] <tristan__> Mr0bvious, yes I know I am running it. But if I click to install the package called kde it proposes me to install thinks like kstars which I don't have right now and which I thought was in the kde-desktop-environment package
[04:43] <smbrow14> the window freezes and a dialog box pops up asking me to force quit
[04:44] <kyja> jpjacobs: you mean perhaps in its binary directory or directories that it uses are lacking permissions for it?
[04:44] <smbrow14> this happens with the Users and Groups program and a few others
[04:44] <kyja> created a new user and it works :/
[04:44] <kyja> strange. like it conflicts with something
[04:45] <Mr0bvious> tristan__: Why do you want to install the package kde?
[04:46] <jpjacobs> kyja, if it's a lockfile try looking in various dir's for files named lock or .lock
[04:46] <Mr0bvious> tristan__: KUbuntu's installer automatically installs everything KDE.
[04:46] <tristan__> MrObvious, well I was just wondering why when installing Kubuntu it does not install the package KDE
[04:46] <Mr0bvious> tristan__: Because it's named something
[04:46] <kyja> jpjacobs: oh ok I will look
[04:46] <Mr0bvious> tristan__: Because it's named something else
[04:46] <Mr0bvious> kde-desktop something
[04:46] <rpn> Hi ... big problem.. no sound, all codecs installt
[04:47] <phantom> heya all!
[04:47] <s> hello
[04:47] <s> is there any way i can get a job_id calling lpr?
[04:47] <phantom> hello =-)
[04:48] <flask-> howdy
[04:48] <phantom> and that i don't really know since i don't use a printer here too often =-P
[04:48] <Mr0bvious> tristan__: Sorry kubuntu-desktop
[04:48] <tristan__> MrObvious, yes but if I click to install kde it proposes me to install kstars, automake, kdeadmin etc...
[04:48] <flask-> so I need to install ubuntu in "safe graphics mode" but I'm using the "alternate" install CD and that isn't an option. how do I achieve the same thing?
[04:48] <Mr0bvious> phantom: Ditto
[04:48] <Mr0bvious> flask-: Why do you need the "safe" mode?
[04:48] <ISOLATEDViRuS> is there an escape character to cancel or halt the current task the terminal is performing?
[04:49] <Mr0bvious> flask-: I think there is a text mode
[04:49] <DrFinn> Need some help! Everytime i use gedit this is what I get "cannot open display:" !
[04:49] <Mr0bvious> ISOLATEDViRuS: Which process are you running?
[04:49] <joshua__> ISOLATED-> ctrl-c?
[04:49] <ISOLATEDViRuS> its a terminal command i started
[04:49] <phantom> but i have a question of my own that i'm hoping that someone might know the answer to...  does Xubuntu/Ubuntu support SMP?  i got a 2.4GHz AMD2 X2 here saying that it's only 1.2 GHz...  and i'm thinking is seriously hindering my performance...
[04:49] <Mr0bvious> ISOLATEDViRuS: Which one?
[04:49] <flask-> Mr0bvious: well the wiki page for my laptop says to use "safe graphics mode", and when I try it in "text mode" (same thing?) it hits a certain point and then the video gets all messed up, hard to describe really.
[04:49] <Mr0bvious> phantom: Yes.
[04:49] <ISOLATEDViRuS> joshua helped me, thanks man.
[04:49] <flask-> Mr0bvious: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/DellInspironE1405?highlight=%28e1405%29
[04:50] <DrFinn> Need some help! Everytime i use gedit this is what I get "cannot open display:" !
[04:50] <Mr0bvious> flask-: Oh. Not sure
[04:50] <joshua__> would be careful though, its not good to ctrl-c some thigns when they are running, i caused myself to need to reinstall because of that
[04:50] <Mr0bvious> ISOLATEDViRuS: You need to be sure which command. Just tell us which command.
[04:50] <phantom> Mr0bvious, ok, so how do i get it to see that i have an SMP machine then?  i found the K7 headers but i'm not quite sure how to use them... on top of that, i couldn't find any kernels with apt or synaptic.
[04:51] <Mr0bvious> Sometimes dpkg or apt can be tempermental like that.
[04:51] <Leo_Laporte> hi ubuntu guys!
[04:51] <Mr0bvious> phantom: The package will be linux-image-2.6.....smp
[04:51] <phantom> Mr0bious, hmmm...  ok.  brb.  thanks
[04:51] <DJAdmira1> Leo_Laporte: hello :P
[04:51] <Mr0bvious> phantom: Oh wait
[04:51] <Leo_Laporte> anyone with any clue if which wireless maker makes linux workable drivers?
[04:51] <Mr0bvious> phantom: It's the 686
[04:52] <Mr0bvious>
[04:52] <Mr0bvious>  linux-image-2.6.15-23-686 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on PPro/Celeron/PII/PIII/PIV SMP/UP
[04:52] <DrFinn> Need some help! Everytime i use gedit this is what I get "cannot open display:"  . What should I do?
[04:52] <feesh> Hey guys, I'm having some serious trouble with my nvidia card, I've got the driver installed and stuff, but GL just crashes the X server, in gentoo you have to do an eselect set opengl nvidia, but I'm not sure what the counterpart is in ubuntu
[04:52] <Mr0bvious> DrFinn: More to the error?
[04:52] <DrFinn> nothing else
[04:52] <DJAdmira1> Leo_Laporte: you can make just about any wireless router work with ubuntu.
[04:52] <DJAdmira1> !wireless
[04:52] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:52] <Leo_Laporte> not router
[04:52] <Leo_Laporte> wireless cards.
[04:52] <phantom> Mr0bvious i foudn the one saying K7, i hope that's ok. since i think that the AMDs are K7's or K8's.. i can't remember right off hand what AMD2's are.
[04:53] <Mr0bvious> Umm.
[04:53] <DJAdmira1> well i don't use wireless much but that link probably would be of help to you
[04:53] <Mr0bvious> linux-image-2.6.15-23-k7 - Linux kernel image for version 2.6.15 on AMD K7 SMP/UP
[04:53] <DrFinn> This what i get : "cannot open display: /etc/rc.local
[04:53] <DrFinn> Run 'gedit --help' to see a full list of available command line options.
[04:53] <DrFinn> "
[04:53] <Mr0bvious> It says SMP
[04:53] <Mr0bvious> That's the key word
[04:53] <Mr0bvious> phantom: You can try the 686 kernel or the k7.
[04:53] <phantom> Mr0bvious it said that it supported SMP, so i'm crossing my fingers on this one.
[04:53] <Scottrix> hey everyone
[04:53] <feesh> !nvidia
[04:53] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:53] <Mr0bvious> phantom: Any AMD processor like K6 or newer will be 686 I think.
[04:53] <Leo_Laporte> ubuntu does have some wireless drivers out of the box right?
[04:54] <Mr0bvious> Leo_Laporte: Which chipset?
[04:54] <phantom> Mr0bious, is there any manual configuring i have to do to get to boot into the kernel?  *shudders*
[04:54] <Scottrix> anyone fiddled around with writing to a NTFS partition from linux?
[04:54] <Mr0bvious> phantom: Just choose the kernel version from the boot menu that comes up after your BIOS is done booting and switches to the boot loader.
[04:55] <darkowl> hello
[04:55] <phantom> Mr0bvious, great!  thanks so much.  BRB in the new kernel =-)
[04:55] <darkowl> i have a question...
[04:55] <Mr0bvious> phantom: Eh you might not need to. THe only other thing is if you have ATI/NVidia that needs kernel headers, you'll need
[04:55] <Mr0bvious> Dang.
[04:55] <darkowl> how to set that when i install new packages it doesnt ask me for cd ?

[05:01] <munsa> how do you .gz a whole bunch of fileS?
[05:01] <Leo_Laporte> you think i can run ndiswrapper on a live cd boot first?
[05:01] <realist> munsa: man tar
[05:01] <Mr0bvious> ISOLATEDViRuS: I think that's for the order of file names or something. I'd just convert them for nw.

[05:19] <Jack_Sparrow> The wheel on my mouse quit working after the last update...  I have xorg.conf open and ready to edit if anyone can help
[05:19] <munsa> how do you .gz a whole bunch of files?
[05:19] <Magicdead> uhm could anyone help me getting my 2nd monitor svideo tv up to 1360x768 resolution ?
[05:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !backup
[05:19] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi
[05:19] <munsa> I can .tar.gz them with the gui but i want to just .gz them
[05:19] <fredl> munza - with gzip
[05:20] <Jack_Sparrow> munsa: that will tell you the basics
[05:20] <treb0r> munsa: tar them up first
[05:20] <realist> munsa: it appears you have difficulty reading.
[05:20] <munsa> eat me realist
[05:20] <ISOLATEDViRuS> yo guys, what do i need to run XGL?
[05:20] <realist> munsa: you expect people to help you, yet you have appauling manners.
[05:20] <sn3f3ru> Hi; anyone has experience with nagios?
[05:20] <munsa> no, i just dont like you realist
[05:20] <sn3f3ru> kororaa.org for XGL
[05:20] <munsa> i think you come in here just to upset peple
[05:20] <xevil> Jack_Sparrow: do you have option "ZAxisMapping" "4,5"  set in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
[05:21] <Jack_Sparrow> let me check
[05:21] <ISOLATEDViRuS> thanks sn3f3ru!
[05:21] <lesshaste>  how do you remove the white margins from a pdf doc?
[05:21] <Jack_Sparrow> xevil: yes it does
[05:21] <munsa> so I have a package .tar.gz and I want to make it just .gz how can I do that?
[05:21] <Jack_Sparrow> xevil: and thanks...
[05:21] <sn3f3ru> Hi; anyone has experience with nagios?
[05:21] <xevil> hmmm... should work
[05:22] <Jack_Sparrow> xevil: and was working..
[05:22] <tkrin> sn3f3ru:  a little, what's up?
[05:22] <OoberMick> munsa: gz works on files
[05:22] <Jack_Sparrow> and does work in (Dont shoot me) XP
[05:22] <tkrin> sn3f3ru:  although, it's not channel specific.  ;)
[05:22] <fredl> munsa - you can gzip a <<file>>, not <<files>>
[05:22] <xevil> maybe the new package is still broken a bit...
[05:22] <realist> munsa: untar && ungzip && gzip
[05:22] <OoberMick> munsa: yes what fredl said
[05:23] <ISOLATEDViRuS> uhh.. im on ubuntu, not kororaa...
[05:23] <Jack_Sparrow> xevil: I will try a differnt mouse on reboot just to see if it something in the update did not like the logiteh mouse
[05:24] <xevil> Jack_Sparrow: I don't expect that will matter
[05:24] <J_P> hey, anyone know where I find psycopg2 package to dapper ?
[05:24] <sn3f3ru> if you just want to see it; unless you have a very strong machine I don't think xgl is usable
[05:25] <fredl> realist, is the module fglrx loaded with you?
[05:25] <munsa> ooberMick If I cd to the folder, I have 200 files inside I want to gzip, how do I select them all?
[05:25] <Jack_Sparrow> xevil: I do see a bunch of wacom input device stuff that I dont remember being there.
[05:25] <krank_> I think I have the nvidia driver installed, but I want to make sure. Also I can't find any nvidia configuration.
[05:25] <fredl> realist, do you also have /lib//modules/2.6.15-26-686/volatile/fglrx.ko ?
[05:25] <Jack_Sparrow> krank  go to terminal glxgears -printfps
[05:26] <fredl> is it possible to see what .deb a file belongs to?
[05:26] <munsa> Hey, does anyone know where I can get a copy of the Kororaa XGL live CD?
[05:26] <xevil> Jack_Sparrow: that's in my xorg.conf as well, but my mouse is working
[05:26] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[05:26] <krank_> Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[05:26] <krank_> Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
[05:26] <OoberMick> munsa: you want to gzip 200 files. i.e. have 200 gz's at the end?
[05:26] <fredl> munsa - you can gzip a <<file>>, not <<fileSSS>>
[05:26] <Brkopac> got it thanks
[05:27] <Brkopac> Another question, is there anyway to enable the 4th mouse button on my mouse?
[05:27] <fredl> munsa - why do you want to have multiple files in one .gz anyway?
[05:27] <krank_> What do you think Jack, not installed?
[05:27] <Paddy_EIRE> hey guys im trying to install a package form source, I've extracted the tar.gz and cd to dir then done ./configure now what do i do
[05:27] <ketsugi> Paddy_EIRE: make
[05:27] <Paddy_EIRE> k
[05:27] <Jack_Sparrow> krank  did you try glxgears?
[05:28] <Dru> has the forum gone tits up
[05:28] <ketsugi> Paddy_EIRE: then after that's done, sudo make install
[05:28] <krank_> yeah, said this Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[05:28] <krank_> Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual
 make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.
[05:28] <munsa> fred1 I want to make a home repository, I have a ton of .deb files, things I downloaded, I had to re-install ubuntu and now I wan my files back
[05:28] <urmom> am i the only one who cannot get into the ubuntu forums right now?
[05:28] <munsa> you see
[05:28] <ketsugi> huh, you sure you did the ./configure right?
[05:28] <munsa> Hey, does anyone know where I can get a copy of the Kororaa XGL live CD?
[05:28] <Dru> forums gone tits I think
[05:29] <Dru> been up & down all day
[05:29] <Jack_Sparrow> krank_: Dosent look like your drivers are installed correctly, did you use the Nvidia website or the Ubuntu website
[05:29] <J_P> hey all, are there somethink like as apt-get.org for dapper ? Becouse I try fnd psycopg2 to dapper, but not find.. :-(
[05:29] <phantom> Mr0bvious, are you still here by any chance?
[05:29] <krank_> Synaptec from within ubuntu...recommended route?
[05:29] <munsa> Damn
[05:29] <munsa> this sucks
[05:29] <fredl> munsa - then why do you not like to use 'tar' instead? just use tar xjvf files.tar.gz * in that dir
[05:29] <Jack_Sparrow> !nvidia
[05:29] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:29] <krank_> er Synaptic
[05:29] <rjm1982> munsa: Asking the same question again usually isnt going to get you the answer you want
[05:29] <phantom> It seems that updating to my new kernel (the SMP one) has broken my nvidia drivers.. how do i fix them?
[05:30] <jbroome> reinstall nvidia
[05:30] <Dru> cant u install nvidia using automatix
 do u know what im supposed to do with this error 'make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.'
[05:30] <jbroome> !automatix
[05:30] <ubotu> Automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[05:30] <munsa> rjm1982 do you realize you just lost 10 seconds of your life typing that useless responce?
[05:30] <Jack_Sparrow> Dru: Friends dont let friends try automatix
[05:30] <ketsugi> Paddy_EIRE: sounds like you didn't ./configure properly
[05:30] <Dru> lol
[05:30] <frahi> automatix is a bad idea
[05:31] <Dru> not used it myself
[05:31] <ezenu> why? seems to save a lot of time
[05:31] <Jack_Sparrow> or easyubuntu
[05:31] <magus_x> i need help, my printer is acting strange, this is the problem:  left is how it should print, right is how it prints : http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/6451/testehh2.jpg
[05:31] <phantom> jbroome reinstalling the nvidia-glx thru apt or synaptics does not work.  is there any other way to do it?
 nothing went wrong during ./configure
[05:31] <ketsugi> then I dunno
[05:31] <Jack_Sparrow> ezenu: Tends to BREAK systems
[05:31] <phantom> jbroome is there some kind of reconfigure i can do thru dpkg?
[05:31] <frahi> ezenu: it breaks some rules that are needed to keep a system running well
[05:31] <ISOLATEDViRuS> guys, how do i install or run XGL on ubuntu?
[05:31] <Jack_Sparrow> ezenu: If they come here they LEARN how to do it
[05:32] <OoberMick> munsa: what do you want? lots of files all gzip'd as separate files?
[05:32] <ezenu> i suppose
[05:32] <frahi> ISOLATEDViRuS: there are some good howtos in the web
[05:32] <ISOLATEDViRuS> i read the explainations, and i got confused -__-
 goin to dl the rpm instead and convert to deb
[05:32] <tristan__> Is there anyone who can tell me where the file smb.conf is located?
[05:32] <ketsugi> what software is that, Paddy?
[05:32] <munsa> OoberMick I am trying to re-install alot of .deb files I have
[05:33] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: Alien is gonna get you one of these days
[05:33] <fredl> munsa - you can actually put put more files in one .gz. It is described under 'Advanced Usage' in the manual page.
[05:33] <ezenu> tristan__, I think, /etc/samba
[05:33] <lee_carraher> tristan__, /etc/samba
[05:33] <OoberMick> munsa: What has that got to do with gzip?
[05:33] <tuxtheslacker> hey, how do I zip a folder?
[05:33] <tuxtheslacker> like actual zip, not gzip.
[05:33] <ISOLATEDViRuS> does anyone have a link that has step by step directions (walkthrough) on a simple installation of whats needed for XGL, and how to execute it?
[05:33] <ISOLATEDViRuS> everything i read confused the hell out of me <_<
[05:34] <lee_carraher> tuxtheslacker: man zip
[05:34] <magus_x> xgl is a crap, lol
[05:34] <urmom> where is xorg.conf located?
[05:34] <fredl> munsa, cat file1 file2 | gzip > foo.gz
[05:34] <Jack_Sparrow> etc/x11/xorg
[05:34] <urmom> thnx
[05:34] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[05:34] <ISOLATEDViRuS> i know its an early alpha thing, but i really want to test out the cube and 32 desktop stuffs
 yeah thats what i was thinking although upon double checking the ./configure output it says GTK++ isnt installed correctly and another thing glibs or something like that but i will leave for now as i know this will go on
[05:35] <Jack_Sparrow> Paddy_EIRE: good luck,..
[05:35] <munsa> OoberMick because when I try to make the repo it keeps asking me fore Packages.GZ
[05:35] <fredl> munsa, but: If  you  wish to create a single archive file with multiple members so that members can later be extracted independently, use an archiver such as tar or zip. GNU tar supports the -z option to invoke gzip transparently. gzip is designed as a complement to tar, not as a replacement.
[05:35] <magus_x> i need help, my printer is acting strange, this is the problem:  left is how it should print, right is how it prints : http://img514.imageshack.us/img514/6451/testehh2.jpg
[05:35] <OoberMick> munsa: Packages.gz it just a LIST of the files
[05:36] <fredl> munsa, Packages.gz is something entirely different.
[05:36] <munsa> I see
[05:36] <OoberMick> munsa: which is then gzip'd obviously
[05:36] <munsa> oh this is bad
[05:36] <gdb> magus_x: I don't get it.  Left is using one font, right is using another, and neither are examples of printed output.
[05:37] <magus_x> gdb
[05:37] <magus_x> nope
[05:37] <ISOLATEDViRuS> is there a .m4a to ogg converter?
[05:37] <linux__alien> is anyone running an AMD 64 bit system ? If yes what version of Ubuntu have you installed ? 64 bit or 32 bit? and what you advise?
[05:37] <magus_x> gdb: i dont have a digital camera
[05:37] <magus_x> gdb: so i resized the second screen to show how's the output
[05:37] <munsa> I am getting a "FAILED TO CHECK FOR INSTALLED APPPLICATIONS when i try to add remove applications
[05:37] <sethk> magus_x, use a screen capture program
[05:37] <realist> munsa: I did say it wasn't trivial to set one up, however; http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/quick-reference/ch-package.en.html might give you some clues.
[05:37] <munsa> This is a major failure of your software management system. Check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information: 'sudo apt-get update'.
[05:38] <gdb> magus_x: meaning you altered the right hand image to mimic what the printed output looks like?
[05:38] <OoberMick> munsa: I you want a mirror of debian files look at http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/net/debmirror
[05:38] <magus_x> gdb: yup
[05:38] <gdb> magus_x: Ok, that makes more sense. ;-)
[05:38] <Jack_Sparrow> magus_x: You might try selecting a different printer then going back to the correct printer to see if having it reload the driver works..  Just a thought.. that is quite odd..
[05:39] <phreakys> hi
[05:39] <magus_x> Jack_Sparrow, : i will try...
[05:39] <Jack_Sparrow> 890 people answer Hello
[05:39] <phreakys> i just installed the java jdk. anyone knows what dir it installs?
[05:39] <realist> munsa: next time, save your 'package state', rather than your packages, i.e. dpkg --get-selections > backup.list
[05:40] <OoberMick> munsa: if on the other hand you just want to install all of the debs you can just do dpkg -i *
[05:40] <lee_carraher> phreakys: /usr/lib/jdk
[05:40] <phreakys> tnx lee
[05:40] <Jack_Sparrow> OoberMick:  Ouch,
[05:40] <lee_carraher> phreakys: i mean /usr/lib/java, sorry
[05:40] <realist> Anyway, time for this black duck to sleep.
[05:40] <Jack_Sparrow> night
[05:40] <gdb> magus_x: Just to ensure that the document looked ok, I'd open it OOo Writer, save it as a PDF, and make sure it looks right in Evince.
[05:40] <realist> OoberMick: I suggested that a while back, apparently it's not an option for munsa for some reason.
[05:41] <munsa> OoberMick the problem is I backed up 300 plus .deb files from my last ubuntu install, now I want to re-install them, clicking on them one-by-one would take a year, and that is without the dependancies problem
[05:41] <phreakys> ok, thanks again. was trying to install bluej, so i need the dir.
[05:41] <magus_x> Evince?
[05:41] <gdb> magus_x: Yeah, that's the default PDF viewer that you get when you double click a PDF in Nautilus.
[05:41] <krank_> !nvidia
[05:41] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[05:41] <magus_x> ah
[05:41] <magus_x> k
[05:41] <gdb> magus_x: it's the "free acroread" ;-)
[05:41] <krank_> Jack_Sparrow, still there?
[05:41] <Jack_Sparrow> yep
[05:41] <Jack_Sparrow> for a mintue
[05:42] <krank_> Those instructions did not seem to work
[05:42] <gdb> Since an HTML document will look different when printed depending on the browser, but a PDF will *always* look the same printed or on screen, I'd like to see if the document looks right as a PDF, when we see on the computer exactly what should come out of the printer.
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> FYI I am running NV 6600 pci-e
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> krank_: where did they give an error?
[05:42] <linux__alien> i ve a weird problem with ubuntu 64 bit . I get connected to the internet and when i leave the internet connection idle for sometime and then when i again start browsing i am unable to browse using Firefox, though IRC Chat and Synaptic works, i am unable to browse
[05:42] <Dru> lucky my machine is getting near retirement
[05:42] <Jack_Sparrow> krank_: what card are you running
[05:43] <linux__alien> Could some one help me with a solution
[05:43] <krank_> Those nvidia modules were already installed, should I uninstall, then reinstall?
[05:43] <krank_> 6800 agp
[05:43] <munsa> Ok I have a big problem,  when I click on add remove programs I get this.... Failed to check for installed and available applications
[05:43] <munsa> This is a major failure of your software management system. Check the file permissions and correctness of the file '/etc/apt/sources.list' and reload the software information: 'sudo apt-get update'.
[05:43] <Jman888> Is it possible to make a custom cd to install after installing ubuntu that will install all essential ubuntu things(Im tired of going thru it all everytime i install ubuntu)
[05:43] <Dru> 9800Pro 256 AGP lol
[05:43] <nerdzyboy> Hi
[05:43] <darkowl> i have another problem when i am compiling links i get an error: comfigure:error:no graphics drivers found. i want to use links with fb, so why doesnt it work ?
[05:44] <Jack_Sparrow> krank_: but how they were installed and which versions were installed is the key, yes I would pull out the ones you got and try the ones from the Ub site
[05:44] <OoberMick> munsa: you are trying to do something that isn't very easy. Either you install the all (dpkg -i *) or install the ones you want one at a time or delete the ones you don't want then install the rest. Or install debmirror and work out how it works.
[05:44] <gdb> Jman888: I'd suggest something easier, and that's to install all the software you want, then save your selections list.  When you install a new machine, copy the list over, set it, and do a dselect upgrade.
[05:44] <saiko> hi, can someone tell me the command and options i should use to delete a non-empty dir ?
[05:44] <Narf> hello

[05:47] (ulph/#ubuntu) darkowl: have you tried "apt-get build-dep links"?
[05:48] (darkowl/#ubuntu) that wont install it with --enabled-graphics
[05:48] (realist/#ubuntu) munsa: next time you may want to just save your package state, rather than the packages themselves...
[05:48] (OoberMick/#ubuntu) munsa: you should be able to remove he "file" lines from sources.list and it should be ok
[05:48] (realist/#ubuntu) munsa: i.e. dpkg --get-selections >myselections
[05:48] (finalbeta/#ubuntu) What is fb? I would like to know because everytime someone sais it I get highlighted (notified)
[05:48] (mcphail/#ubuntu) darkowl: does the README tell you which libraries are required?
[05:48] (darkowl/#ubuntu) framebuffer
[05:48] (realist/#ubuntu) then to restore them, dpkg --set-selections <myselections
[05:48] (sholden/#ubuntu) Question...  has anyone successfully set up MP3 support for amaroK under Breezy?  I've been searching for answers and I do have the gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly package installed, but I still cant seem to play audio.  Any help would be great...
[05:48] (GoodGolly/#ubuntu) rukuartic: possibly /dev/cdrw or /dev/dvdrom ?
[05:49] (rukuartic/#ubuntu) GoodGolly: Nope not quite...
[05:49] <smoser> anyone successfully running Xnest on dapper?  I try running via 'xinit -- /usr/bin/Xnest :8' but Xnest is rejecting the connections to it.

[05:49] <GoodGolly> rukuartic: i do not know what to tell you, then
[05:49] <GoodGolly> rukuartic: sorry
[05:49] <ulph> darkowl: libdirectfb-dev or something maybe, apt-search is your friend

[05:58] <sholden> Question...  has anyone successfully set up MP3 support for amaroK under Breezy?  I've been searching for answers and I do have the gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly package installed, but I still cant seem to play audio.  Any help would be great...
[05:59] <DrCurl> sholden: use libxine-extra
[05:59] <Goop2> I used xmms or whatever it is.. it worked for me
[05:59] <Goop2> I dont actualy remember what it was called :P
[05:59] <munsa> OoberMick: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21483
[06:00] <munsa> man dunno what I did wrong
[06:00] <DrCurl> is there something I can do for the speed of my repositories, they are really slow?
[06:00] <sholden> ok....
[06:00] <ErickPC> is there support for ubuntu in spanish?
[06:00] <bbrazil> DrCurl: try a different repo?
[06:00] <mcphail> DrCurl: try a different mirror
[06:00] <ErickPC> someone speaks spanish?
[06:00] <rjm1982> DrCurl: different time
[06:00] <sholden> actually, im using dapper... brain fart
[06:00] <mcphail> !es
[06:00] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[06:00] <sholden> apologies
[06:00] <fmarostica> is There glade3 deb package for ubuntu dapper drake?
[06:01] <sholden> it's not finding libxine-extras
[06:01] <DrCurl> bbrazil: is there a repos list somewhere?
[06:01] <sholden> and i have all repos enabled in sources.list
[06:01] <bbrazil> DrCurl: probably, try CC.archive.ubuntu.com
[06:01] <bbrazil> DrCurl: where CC is your country code
[06:01] <DrCurl> sholden: if you search for libxine, what do you get
[06:01] <ErickPC> gracias
[06:01] <DrCurl> thanks bbrazil
[06:02] <bbrazil> DrCurl: probably a full list on the website
[06:02] <DrCurl> canada repos was fast in the past but it is now a real pain
[06:02] <boudahxl> Any xgl/compiz guru around? I installed quinn's repository packages works well btw. But synaptic is offering upgrades... Safe?
[06:02] <mcphail> DrCurl: try us repos
[06:03] <boudahxl> tx
[06:03] <OoberMick> munsa: Could the files have been corrupted?
[06:03] <Cyball> hi can somebody told me if the HP 3100 LaserJet is supported by Ubuntu ??? because i does not find the driver
[06:03] <sholden> DrCurl: libxine-main1, libxinerama1, libxine-dev, libxinerama1-dbg, libxinerama-dev
[06:03] <mcphail> boudahxl: depends on what you mean by "safe"
[06:03] <klm-> what's the quickkey for userlist on xchat?
[06:03] <DrCurl> sholden: 2 sec
[06:03] <munsa> OoberMick, I suppose, i dont know how but I suppose.  Oh .well, looks like im just gonna have to - re download everyting
[06:04] <boudahxl> mcphail: like still working after update
[06:04] <munsa> OoberMick do you have a suggestion for me, about backing up my files the next time? ?
[06:04] <mcphail> boudahxl: the quinn repos will break some things from time to time
[06:04] <yin_yang2k> HELP: Hi, I got a problem with the auth.log  it sometimes freeze and wont update with any new happenings on the system.
[06:05] <Dimensions> hi i have added a script to run on boot in cron ... but its not running any one knows why ??
[06:05] <mcphail> boudahxl: most recently they broke sub-pixel font rendering and access to synaptic
[06:05] <yin_yang2k> HELP: Hi, I got a problem with the auth.log  it sometimes freeze and wont update with any new happenings on the system. PM me
[06:05] <munsa> Where can I get a list of repositories, for like good apps and good programs I want to have a huge list of programs
[06:06] <mcphail> boudahxl: i'd suggest if you have a "stable" xgl/compiz system, comment out the quinn repo on your /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:06] <OoberMick> munsa: if you want to backup deb and not download them again i'd recommend running a mirror. the debmirror package does this. the other option is just to use get/set selection but this will require redownloading any packages that are missing
[06:06] <boudahxl> mcphail: ahh I see, but originally only quinn's repo worked for my 64bit so I was wondering... last time I updated over my quinn's (2 months ago) it broke compiz completely
[06:07] <DrCurl> sholden: libxine-extracodecs
[06:07] <DrCurl> sholden: you need to have multiverse enabled
[06:07] <mischko> How do I change the default boot operating system in Ubuntu Server?
[06:07] <mcphail> boudahxl: afaik, quinn's repo is still the only reasonable way to go for xgl, but their policy on new packages is dangerous
[06:08] <munsa> OoberMick where can I get debmirror and where can I get lists of repositories? Unsupported is ok I just want to have a big selection of apps to choose from
[06:08] <mcphail> mischko: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:08] <Cyball> HELP !!! need help with HP 3100 LaserJet .... is there a driver fot that printer ???
[06:08] <mischko> mcphail, I've seen it but I don't know what the number is for the OS I want to boot in the list. Did I miss something?
[06:08] <don_jr> Anyone around to answer some newbie to linux questions?
[06:08] <boudahxl> mcphail: thank you very much, much appreciated, I guess I'll stick with my current setup
[06:09] <boudahxl> no update I meant
[06:09] <UKMatt> hey does anyone know if the core has been fixed and OK to update?
[06:09] <toaster^> is there a command to search in installed packages?
[06:09] <don_jr> I'm completely new to *nix systems, want to try it out.  Is umbuntu the way I should go to see if I like it?
[06:10] <Thunderpants> UKMatt, check u r installing 10.4 and not 10.3
[06:10] <UKMatt> thunderpants, yup ty
[06:10] <OoberMick> munsa: debmirror is in universe
[06:10] <Thunderpants> yw :)
[06:10] <TheGateKeeper> don_jr: Windows to Ubuntu Transition Guide:http://www.pcmech.com/show/os/917/
[06:10] <Goop2> don_jr: I use Kubuntu.. it works pretty good for me
[06:11] <don_jr> Does it support wireless networking?  And thank you for the link
[06:11] <Warbo> Would it be relatively safe to install Edgy's deskbar-applet package in Dapper? I reported a bug for it, but apparently it is fixed in Edgy (and isn't eligable for backports)
[06:11] <modplug> ubuntu hangs after login screen, any idea what might be wrong?
[06:11] <Warbo> modplug: Have you tried a failsafe GNOME session, or a failsafe terminal?
[06:11] <tristan__> anyone familiar with samba under ubuntu?
[06:12] <modplug> no, i to be honest i wouldn't know what to do with a failsafe terminal
[06:12] <Warbo> modplug: If they work then you can try starting up GNOME one application at a time, and narrow down the problem
[06:12] <TheGateKeeper> don_jr: yw :-) I don't use wireless on linux at the moment, but I think it does, just make sure you buy linux friendly hardware
[06:12] <Gassed> has anyone here ever used a Fossil Abacus Wrist PDA?
[06:13] <urmom> hey guys
[06:13] <don_jr> deffinatly need to check that out then.  I already have the hardware installed on this PC using XP.....I'll look and see if it's compatible.. Thanx again
[06:13] <Warbo> modplug: The first thing I do in a failsafe terminal is run "gnome-terminal", since I can then run more than one program at a time
[06:13] <urmom> does bluetooth work out of the box on an ibook g4?
[06:13] <modplug> maybe it hangs because i updated xorg recently?
[06:13] <jpjacobs> any terminal can do that...
[06:14] <don_jr> oh yeah, does the unbutu gnome terminal support multiple desktops like some I've read about?  that sounds very handy
[06:14] <Warbo> modplug: There was a problem with Xorg, but I think it has been fixed. Also, that problem stopped X loading at all
[06:14] <Ng> don_jr: multiple tabs? ctrl-shift-t :)
[06:14] <don_jr> great!
[06:15] <Gassed> How do I HotSync a USB connected Palm OS Device with J-Pilot or KPilot?
[06:15] <TheGateKeeper> don_jr: you can get wireless with linux drivers otherwise: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_Windows_Wireless_Drivers_.28Ndiswrapper.29
[06:15] <drpc> help
[06:15] <drpc> install kde
[06:15] <drpc> how
[06:15] <Warbo> urmom: I find KDE's bluetooth is more "out-of-the-box", since in GNOME you need to start some servers, setup PIN config files, etc. (and I still end up using Konqueror for file transfers anyway)
[06:15] <modplug> i tried to ctrl-alt-backspace and then startx ... it hangs while loading window manager
[06:15] <Warbo> drpc: go into a package manager and install "kubuntu-desktop"
[06:16] <Warbo> modplug: Is this just regular GNOME, or some weird XGL/AIGLX/Compiz thingy?
[06:16] <don_jr> what's the difference between kubuntu and ubuntu it's self?
[06:16] <rjm1982> is there a kde alternate to gnome-network-manager ... that seems to be the only way i can reliably (read: automatically) connect to the different WPA networks i connect to...
[06:16] <Warbo> don_jr: Just the default packages that are installed
[06:16] <bbrazil> rjm1982: as is I believe that is the best way to do it
[06:17] <don_jr> okay, as a first timer I'm going to keep it simple and just go with what I have downloaded...lol
[06:17] <modplug> this is of course XGL / compiz :)
[06:17] <Warbo> Kubuntu is in main, so it is still the same package repos for both
[06:17] <sholden> DrCurl: I have "deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse" in my sources.list, shouldnt that do the trick?
[06:17] <drpc> E: Broken packages
[06:18] <Warbo> modplug: OK, then it seems to be Compiz which is failing.   Are there many retail games and other software out that will run in a *nix system? or is it all have to be found and DL'd?
[06:18] <DrCurl> sholden: no
[06:18] <drpc> E: Broken packages
[06:18] <Dru> nn all
[06:18] <AlexThunder> !xgl
[06:18] <modplug> Warbo: change theme?
[06:18] <Goop2> don_jr: not much, but there is some
[06:18] <drpc> i get erorr E: Broken packages
[06:18] <esc_ape> so, I have a question about the forums. how long does it take for a howto thread to be reviewed and posted? I created a howto and posted the thread over 24 hours ago and its still not up.
[06:18] <sholden> DrCurl: what do i need to add?
[06:18] <DrCurl> sholden: deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper universe multiverse
[06:19] <Goshawk> hi
[06:19] <DrCurl> sholden: disable the backports
[06:19] <don_jr> Okay, so why choose linux over windows or mac if the software is so limited?
[06:19] <warlock> how to "join" a screen session again?
[06:20] <Ng> screen -r
[06:20] <Goop2> don_jr: I personaly think its faster, has less glitches, FAR less chance of malware..
[06:20] <Warbo> modprobe: Metacity is GNOME's default window manager. Compiz replaces it, so if it is Compiz screwing up then trying Metacity should work
[06:20] <Goshawk> don_jr: look around you and let me know if you don't find enought software
[06:20] <Goop2> don_jr: I have a dual boot: Kubuntu and WindowsXP
[06:20] <munsa> Where can I get a list of Ubuntu File Reposatories??
[06:21] <Ng> don_jr: because, with literally thousands of packages available to install, you generally find whatever you want already available for free. Granted games are an unfortuntae exception to this if you want the latest, flashy games
[06:21] <dr_willis> don_jr,  i dont find the software limited.
[06:21] <Goshawk> munsa: you can locate a package in a ubuntu version in packages.ubuntu.com
[06:21] <don_jr> Goop2: I've thought of doing that.
[06:21] <Warbo> don_jr: I find Windows and OSX FAR too limited. You should really have a go on my PC to see what crazy stuff I have it doing :)
[06:21] <dr_willis> Games are for the weak. :)
[06:21] <sholden> DrCurl: I owe you one.  Thanks a lot!
[06:21] <munsa> Goshawk: Thanks man
[06:21] <don_jr> then I"m weak....but I want it for more than that.
[06:21] <Goop2> hehe
[06:21] <don_jr> games I can play on my laptop when I'm bored....lol
[06:22] <Goshawk> munsa: you are welcome
[06:22] <modplug> Warbo, but to use it it requires an exisiting x-server right? - startx hangs at loading window manager
[06:22] <DrCurl> sholden: np, was a pleasure to help
[06:22] <Warbo> Commercial games do seem to be a problem. Gish is very hit and miss for me (currently it misses all the time, and I have to restart X)
[06:22] <Goshawk> dr_willis: you are right, coding is better :D
[06:22] <Ng> don_jr: fire up synaptic and search for "game" or "games" or something like that, you'll find a lot of things that are fun to play for a few minutes ;)
[06:22] <Goop2> don_jr: do you have a spare hard drive kicking around somewhere?
[06:22] <don_jr> I DL'd Solaris 10 and I can't get it to install properly, then was told about ubuntu....1 disk compared to the 5 for solaris...it's worth a shot.  I can always reformat and go back...lol
[06:22] <dr_willis> Goshawk,  or chatting in IRC
[06:23] <Dimensions> how do u save something after editing in nano ?
[06:23] <DrCurl> wow, us repos is waaaaaaaayyyy faster than ca
[06:23] <Goop2> don_jr: maybe that 80 year old computer youve been saving? :P
[06:23] <don_jr> Goop2 I may have another HD but if so it's old and very small
[06:23] <Warbo> modplug: Try "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" to bring the login window back. GDM doesn't load a window manager until you login (so log into a failsafe terminal)
[06:23] <warlock> thanks for the screen help
[06:23] <don_jr> I think maybe 4g is the biggest I have available
[06:23] <Ng> Dimensions: ctrl-o (the letter o, not the number 0)
[06:23] <Goshawk> don_jr: the differencies between solaris and ubuntu are not only 9 cds...
[06:23] <Warbo> Dimensions: I use ctrl-X (exit) then it asks me. Press Y then Enter
[06:23] <Ng> Dimensions: it should say at the bottom
[06:23] <dr_willis> don_jr,  define 'old and small' :) 4gb is good for a ubunut test system
[06:23] <don_jr> I'm hopeing ubuntu will be worth it.
[06:24] <Dimensions> Ng:  it says ^O write out
[06:24] <Warbo> brb
[06:24] <Goop2> don_jr: actualy.. try running a live CD without installing..
[06:24] <Ng> Dimensions: that's bizarrely arcane wording for "Press ctrl-o to save"
[06:24] <don_jr> live CD?   You wont have to install and lose everything
[06:25] <don_jr> smart ass
[06:25] <don_jr> lol
[06:25] <avu> you left me no choice :(
[06:25] <ancorey> ol  TODOS
[06:25] <avu> ;)
[06:25] <don_jr> Goop2 where can I get that?
[06:25] <Gnonthgol> don_jr: Linux can be run from all typed of partisions: first, last, CD, USB, over network, you name it
[06:26] <Goop2> don_jr: should be on the site with the other ones
[06:26] <munsa> GoshHawk : I want to add all of these files to Synaptic or something so I can go threw and just click and install them what do I just add packages.ubuntu.com to my etc/apt/sources.list file???
[06:26] <Goop2> don_jr: Ill look
[06:26] <marianet> hello
[06:26] <Ng> avu: windows 1.0 was released in 1985 ;p
[06:26] <marianet> hello, can anybody help me
[06:26] <marianet> i have installed knoppix,
[06:27] <avu> ng: doh! but, erm, well, nobidy used that one anyway!
[06:27] <marianet> and i would like
[06:27] <marianet> to install ubuntu right now,
[06:27] <ompaul> marianet, you should go to #knoppix
[06:27] <marianet> no, wait
[06:27] <Ng> don_jr: if you're downloading the regular install CD for dapper, that is a live cd too, when you boot from it, it will boot a regular ubuntu and then offer an install icon on the desktop
[06:27] <marianet> does ubuntu erase all the instalation
[06:27] <don_jr> Okay, going to save this channel and work on things for a bit.  I'll install ubuntu on my laptop so I don't mess up my good PC here.  I'll keep this up and remember the channel for later use.  Thank you all very much
[06:27] <marianet> i supose
[06:28] <Gnonthgol> marianet: The easyest is to install ubuntu from a install cd
[06:28] <Goop2> don_jr: I just remembered.. there is no Live CD for Dapper Drake.. The install CD IS Live
[06:28] <msoul> mmmm, why am I getting this msg *fluxbox depends: menu (>= 2.1.19) but it is not installable? and how can I fix it?
[06:28] <jake1> i'm hoping someone in here can help me out
[06:28] <dudus> marianet: if you have enogh space in a different hard drive or partition you can install ubuntu there, without affecting other partitions
[06:28] <don_jr> I'm downloading Ubuntu fomr the site it's self, what ever that is is what it is.  I believe it's a live CD with the option to install later
[06:29] <marianet> does lilo recognize others partitions? i have windows, and knopix already installed
[06:29] <Ng> don_jr: that should indeed be the case :)
[06:29] <Goop2> don_jr: its got a button on it to install from a live session
[06:29] <don_jr> good
[06:29] <modplug> Warbo: yeah, tried that... it "hangs" after login
[06:29] <don_jr> We'll see what happens in a couple hours after it finishes installing then
[06:29] <don_jr> thanx again and ya'll have a good day
[06:29] <dudus> marianet: ubuntu uses grub and yes it recognizes
[06:29] <marianet> how many space do i need to install ubuntu=?
[06:29] <marianet> disk space?
[06:29] <dudus> marianet: most of the times
[06:30] <ok> hello
[06:30] <Tourinho> hello there... I have a x700 graphic card and it used to work very well... but some time ago I upgrade my system and since then my graphic doesnt work.. does anyone know what could happened?
[06:30] <jake1> i tried to install Ubuntu today on my AMD64 ML-32 Turion Acer Aspire 5003WLMi laptop but i can't read anything on the installation part cuz most of the screen is black, the only part that shows up is the far right hand side
[06:30] <dudus> marianet: I would give it 2GB minimum
[06:30] <marianet> thanks dudus
[06:30] <dudus> marianet: but it's possible to install in a smaller partition
[06:30] <jake1> does Ubuntu support my graphics card?

[06:36] <wheels3572> !logitech > wheels3572
[06:36] <user__> dr_willis: thank you. ;)
[06:36] <wizard> Recently, alt+f2 stopped bringing up the run command window.  This is incorrect because the keyboard shortcut application says that alt+f2 should bring up the run dialog.  Alt + f7 works, as well as f10, f5, and f4 combinations.  Can I revive my run command shortcut?
[06:36] <wheels3572> Ahhh no Ubotu
[06:36] <msoul> dr_willis: it'd break X would it?
[06:36] <dr_willis> user__,  root ussage is Faq #1. :P
[06:36] <user__> Ha!
[06:36] <dr_willis> msoul,  i dont know if the X issue is fixed yet or not.
[06:37] <jake1> SiS M760 dr_willis
[06:37] <dr_willis> jake1,  you could always download and use the alternative install cd. it has a text based installer
[06:37] <wheels3572> Since Ubotu isn't around can anyone tell me how and if my Logitech QUickCam Express will work iwth Ubuntu?>
[06:37] <wizard> Thanks! That worked!
[06:38] <jake1> oh
[06:39] <jake1> how do i make a boot cd in XP
[06:39] <jake1> i'm normally a Mac user
[06:39] <dr_willis> a boot cd?  to boot what?
[06:39] <jake1> to boot Ubuntu installer
[06:40] <rhyddin> don't need one .. boot off the ubuntu cd
[06:40] <dr_willis> to burn an .iso file under windows - i reccomend you download and use the 'burn at once' tool
[06:40] <dr_willis> which is free/gpl
[06:40] <jake1> rhyddin: if i had a ubuntu cd tht would be great
[06:40] <rhyddin> lol
[06:40] <harisund> I have a question guys. Is it possible to create a SSH tunnel to and from the local machine itself? I want to tunnel traffic through 8888 to port 80 on the same machine :)
[06:40] <rhyddin> yeah, I guess that's the rub
[06:42] <iGama> how do i create a .deb for dictionary files like myspell ? i have de .dic and .aff, does anyone know?
[06:42] <dravas> !grub
[06:42] <mcphail> harisund: it would probably work, but isn't there a better way?
[06:43] <ubuntu> .
[06:44] <ubuntu> ...
[06:44] <iGama> how do i create a .deb for dictionary files like myspell ? i have de .dic and .aff, does anyone know??

[06:56] <doctorshim> hey!
[06:57] <doctorshim> there was a recent update for the X window system... :/
[06:57] <foomanchew> anyone tried Ubuntu on G4 poerbook
[06:57] <foomanchew> oops powerbook
[06:57] <doctorshim> and now I can't get X running anymore.
[06:57] <doctorshim> Has this happened to anyone else?
[06:57] <jkernsjr> anyone here have trouble with dapper and not being able to change the "open with" in nautilus?
[06:57] <foomanchew> doctorshim, there is an update for that
[06:57] <mcphail> doctorshim: there has been a further update which fixes this
[06:57] <g-nome>  how can i tell rhythmbox NOT to open when an iPod is plugged in?
[06:57] <doctorshim> foomanchew, mcphail: I'll check it out.
[06:57] <ryan_> yea
[06:57] <fdoving> foomanchew: i run it on a G4 iBook, and it's great :)
[06:57] <ryan_> it's really annoying
[06:57] <ryan_> I hate rythmbox
[06:57] <foomanchew> fdoving, wiireless ?
[06:57] <axisme> on a side note, macs suck
[06:58] <fdoving> foomanchew: works.
[06:58] <ryan_> you suck
[06:58] <Ng> g-nome: system->preferences->removeable drives and media, then in the multimedia tab i think, you can untick the media players option
[06:58] <foomanchew> axisme, I aint asking
[06:58] <jkernsjr> anyone here have trouble with dapper and not being able to change the "open with" in nautilus?
[06:58] <axisme> Mine died after the first week :-(
[06:58] <foomanchew> fdoving, from the get go or do i have to patch
[06:58] <doctorshim> ah! I see the update.
[06:58] <foomanchew> axisme, must be a lemon
[06:58] <axisme> then the second one was getting to scarily high temps
[06:58] <cello_rasp> does anyone know how i can get the blackdown java for ubuntu easily
[06:59] <fdoving> doctorshim: to fix x: login to the console. run 'sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade;sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart', voila.
[06:59] <g-nome> Ng: thanks!
[06:59] <axisme> at that stage i got my money back
[06:59] <fdoving> foomanchew: no patching, works by default.
[06:59] <califfo> did anyone of you use rssh's mkchroot script without problems? I 'd like to run a secure ftp server
[06:59] <doctorshim> fdoving, I'm updating X right now.
[06:59] <foomanchew> fdoving, I am about to run through the install
[06:59] <doctorshim> thanks for tips.
[06:59] <fdoving> doctorshim: great :)
[06:59] <Ng> cello_rasp: do you specifically want the blackdown one? sun's java is available in the dapper repositories (as is blackdown)
[06:59] <cello_rasp> sun jre is terribly slow
[06:59] <foomanchew> fdoving, does it support WPA personal and enterprise ?
[07:00] <TheGateKeeper> cello_rasp: any particular reason you want that one?
[07:00] <Ng> cello_rasp: blackdown is just the sun one recompiled afaik, I'd seriously doubt it'd be faster than sun's
[07:00] <doctorshim> Meanwhile I'm updating my Gentoo box. ^.^
[07:00] <axisme> foomanchew you might need to install gnome network manager for that
[07:00] <foomanchew> ah
[07:00] <doctorshim> Sure's slower than Ubuntu...
[07:00] <cello_rasp> Ng they are actually different
[07:00] <Ng> cello_rasp: but anyway, blackdown is the j2re1.4 package and sun's is sun-java5-bin, both in multiverse
[07:01] <Elephant> hi all
[07:01] <munsa> Hello, can someone please help me? I am having problems installing any packages, everytime  I try to install from the add/remove thing it says, "not avaiable in any channel" Then whenever I try to install from apt-get or something else I get some wierd dependancy error

[07:04] <cica> anyone know where the snoop command is in Ubuntu?
[07:05] <Sp4rKy> please
[07:05] <bbrazil> cica: this isn't solaris. Use tcpdump
[07:05] <fdoving> foomanchew: builtin.
[07:05] <Sp4rKy> what's the software for manage gpg key
[07:05] <foomanchew> fdoving, thx
[07:05] <cica> bbrazil: that the closest thing to snoop?
[07:05] <wsjunior> is there any netinst iso of ubuntu?
[07:05] <bbrazil> cica: yip
[07:05] <erUSUL> Sp4rKy: gpg
[07:05] <foomanchew> Sp4rKy, type apt-cache search pgp
[07:05] <cica> bbrazil: pity coz snoop's a very useful debugging tool
[07:06] <foomanchew> Sp4rKy, type apt-cache search gpg
[07:06] <lophyte> Sp4rKy: seahorse is a GUI manager for gpg keys
[07:06] <foomanchew> oops

[07:06] <lophyte> anyone know how to have a script run automatically when you mount an fs? kinda like an autorun.inf in Windows
[07:07] <bbrazil> cica: you could try tethereal
[07:07] <harisund> foomanchew: I do use the read write ntfs driver ntfs-3g if that is what you are talking about ..
[07:07] <cica> bbrazil: yeah I suppose thats another alternative...
[07:07] <cica> bbrazil: thanks anyway :-)
[07:07] <bhoman> quit
[07:07] <harisund> bhoman /quit perhaps?
[07:08] <cica> bbrazil: do you have any knowledge on VPN?
[07:08] <bbrazil> cica: I know they exist
[07:08] <brandon_> which repository is azureus in?
[07:08] <cica> bbrazil: :-D I see
[07:10] <jkernsjr> what would make it so I can no longer select in the "open with" menu of nautilus?
[07:10] <Warbo> jkernsjr: That menu wouldn't come up if there is only one program assigned to a file. Check in Properties>Open With
[07:11] <mcphail> jkernsjr: nautilus is periodically cranky about such things. Right click on the file and select "properties"
[07:11] <wsjunior> which is the best distro today to use xgl?
[07:11] <jkernsjr> I went to the open with dialog but it wont let me change it from the defalut
[07:11] <wsjunior> is there any netinst iso of ubuntu?
[07:11] <jkernsjr> It works on my other ubuntu box but not on this one
[07:11] <Warbo> wsjunior: Ubuntu and Gentoo probably have the most people using it, so more people to offer help
[07:12] <munsa> can someone please pelase with sugar on top help me figure out what is wrong, I cant install any files, whenever I try i get dependancy errors and when i try add-remove it tells me that the file is not avaiable in any of the repositories
[07:12] <wsjunior> Warbo: is there any netinst iso of ubuntu avaliabe?
[07:12] <mcphail> wsjunior: it is a Novell development, so the SuSE implementation might be quite good
[07:12] <wsjunior> i hate to install ubuntu and have to upgrade more than 100 packages
[07:12] <Warbo> munsa: Try doing this first "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install" < that will sort out any current broken packages
[07:13] <wsjunior> mcphail: is there any netinst iso of ubuntu avaliable?
[07:13] <mcphail> wsjunior: no
[07:13] <DShepherd> nalioth: you around.. I could use some of your wisdom right now?
[07:13] <wsjunior> damn :(
[07:13] <jkernsjr> Warbo: would some funky rights issue keep me from changeing it?
[07:13] <woodgrain> I can't increase screen resolution -- where can I learn how to fix it?
[07:13] <Warbo> wsjunior: If you want to install packages over the network then debootstrap would be a good idea, but takes a little more setting up
[07:13] <nalioth> DShepherd: there is plenty of wisdom in this channel
[07:14] <wsjunior> thats really bad.... i have to install ubuntu and after upgrade more than 100 packafges
[07:14] <bahadir> hello
[07:14] <DShepherd> nalioth: see.. wise stuff like that i nee
[07:14] <DShepherd> d
[07:14] <Warbo> jkernsjr: I don't know. I wouldn't think so, because those settings are stored on a per-user basis, so it is not like it would mess up someone else's settings
[07:14] <woodgrain> gnome only goes up to 1280 ... monitor is 1600
[07:14] <Warbo> !fixres > woodgrain
[07:14] <jkernsjr> Warbo: If i run nautilus as root I can change them!
[07:15] <woodgrain> !fixres
[07:15] <mcphail> Warbo: ubotu is dead
[07:15] <userone> my friends laptop screen is damaged (no image) but ubuntu is still booting up (I assume). I also use ubuntu but I don't know how to connect to his machine and rescue his files. Can anyone help?
[07:15] <woodgrain> mcphail, who killed ubotu
[07:15] <munsa> Warbo :  what can I add to my sources.list file to get a massive file list? I want to have a lot of options you know try out alot of new software
[07:15] <Warbo> jkernsjr: That will either be 1) the files need root permission, or more likely b) root's settings aren't screwed up, but yours are
[07:15] <munsa> ?
[07:15] <bahadir> can you tell me how may I restore my settings in the gdmsetup
[07:15] <mcphail> woodgrain: not guilty
[07:15] <jkernsjr> userone: take his hard drive out and put it in another machine
[07:15] <Warbo> munsa: Do you have Universe and Multiverse?
[07:15] <woodgrain> mcphail, is there another "fixres" tutorial?
[07:15] <surgy> hello
[07:16] <FlimFlamMan> i have a really trivial question... i need to create a shared directory for users on a server.  what
[07:16] <mr3vil> surgy: welcome
[07:16] <jkernsjr> Warbo: I think its the later..where would I find someone who know a lot about nautilus?
[07:16] <munsa> i dont know
[07:16] <seth> Does vim come w/syntax highlighting and if so how can i turn it on?
[07:16] <munsa> Warbo
[07:16] <surgy> mr3vil: thanks
[07:16] <FlimFlamMan> i have a really trivial question... i need to create a shared directory for users on a server.  what's the most appropriate place for that?  /usr/local/?  /var/local/?
[07:16] <bbrazil> seth: :syntax on
[07:16] <Warbo> !universe > munsa
[07:16] <eternalswd> how do I cp a directory?
[07:16] <mcphail> woodgrain: i can'r remember the url, im afraid. try searching the wiki
[07:16] <bbrazil> FlimFlamMan: /srv
[07:16] <munsa> Warbo I havent got the whole repo thing down yet
[07:16] <Warbo> eternalswd: "cp -r directory newlocation"
[07:16] <seth> bbrazil: thanks i forgot it
[07:16] <surgy> anyone mind helping me with apollon?
[07:16] <woodgrain> mcphail, is there a wiki jst for ubuntu?
[07:16] <DShepherd> I am trying to build compiz from source and seemingly its says it depends on libstartup-notification-1.0. The latest release is 0.8.  How can i get around this?
[07:16] <Warbo> help.ubuntu.com/community
[07:17] <mcphail> woodgrain: yes
[07:17] <jordanau> is compiz worth it?
[07:17] <Warbo> I don't think so
[07:17] <DShepherd> jordanau: maybe..
[07:17] <munsa> Warbo : I cant get instant messages on this thing. Its not Xchat its like gnome chat or something
[07:17] <jordanau> does it make things more unstable?
[07:17] <mcphail> jordanau: yes
[07:17] <Warbo> Mind you, I don't like Metacity, and Compiz seems like a crappier version of Metacity
[07:17] <mcphail> jordanau: very much so
[07:17] <Warbo> !universe
[07:17] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[07:17] <jordanau> i like stable
[07:18] <mcphail> jordanau: don't use compiz! :)
[07:18] <jordanau> haha
[07:18] <userone> jkernsjr: thanks...its an old compaq laptop..so he doesnt want to replace the screen..if I remove the hard drive it will only fit into another compaq laptop, right?
[07:18] <woodgrain> mcphail, you are the greatezt
[07:18] <mcphail> woodgrain: what have i done???
[07:18] <jordanau> why do two instances of mplayer plugin crash firefox?
[07:18] <Warbo> Compiz's task-bar-like thing with live previews? Crashes Compiz every time I turned it on
[07:18] <kmasta> i have a quick question, i just dled the latest tarball for firefox, where should i extract it to?
[07:18] <mr3vil> munsa: xchat gnome irc chat
[07:18] <exs> useruserz no, itll fit in any laptop
[07:19] <woodgrain> mcphail, uh ... be helpful an d  nice!
[07:19] <jordanau> kmasta, i would stick to the repos
[07:19] <jkernsjr> userone: should work on any laptop
[07:19] <mcphail> woodgrain: *blushes*
[07:19] <DShepherd> so .. any suggestions?
[07:19] <kmasta> jordan: how do i do that, the .tar.gz file is sitting on my desktop right now
[07:19] <Warbo> kmasta: Either stick to Ubuntu's repos, or search around for an already compiled Ubuntu package of the latest FF
[07:20] <jordanau> kmasta, is there a reason you are trying to change your firefox version?
[07:20] <bahadir> can someone tell me how to restore the command line to default gnome settings in gdmsetup ?
[07:20] <matthew_w> I'm having a problem with login, it crashes and says "no screens found" when X tries to start.
[07:20] <holy_cow> Is there a Ubuntu security chan?
[07:20] <matthew_w> Can anyone help me with this?
[07:20] <PMantis> Can anyone help with vmware on dapper?
[07:20] <jordanau> matthew_w, /topic
[07:20] <kmasta> yea, i just want to be using the latest verison
[07:20] <mcphail> matthew_w: update and upgrade
[07:20] <PMantis> FATAL: Error inserting vmnet (/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/misc/vmnet.ko): Invalid module format
[07:20] <bahadir> tried to set Xgl with "usr/bin/Xgl :1 -ac -accel glx:pbuffer -accel xv:pbuffer" but it failed
[07:20] <w30> user-land, it doesn't need to fit, just wire it up for another computer and let it set on the desk or hang. Just be careful with making a short by knocking it around
[07:20] <bahadir> and now I dont remember the default command line
[07:21] <kmasta> i'm using the <IP_ADDRESS> right now, and i wanna use <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:21] <DShepherd> kmasta: that's a windows fix.. <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:21] <jordanau> kmasta, unless you really need it i would wait until it is updated with dapper
[07:21] <userone> jkernsjr: ok..I'll try to find a spare laptop..until then..can I connect my laptop to his via my router?
[07:21] <kmasta> allright
[07:21] <kmasta> sounds good
[07:22] <jordanau> mcphail, so it is safe to update upgrade now
[07:22] <nalioth> DShepherd: what did you need?
[07:22] <user-land> w30, did you mean me ?
[07:22] <DShepherd> nalioth: windows fix?
[07:22] <jkernsjr> userone: sure, if you both have a network card. then you can mount his hard drive. or if ssh is running on it you can ssh to it. you will have to know what IP address it picks up though.
[07:22] <mcphail> jordanau: yes
[07:22] <nalioth> DShepherd: i don't understand
[07:22] <pattyD> I tried to upgrade to dapper, but I have a big issue..... gnome was not upgraded because it looks like several packages were "held back", at least thats what "apt-get dist-upgrade" says
[07:23] <jordanau> mcphail, thanks
[07:23] <seth> Why aren't the header files in /usr/include?
[07:23] <pattyD> how do I resolve these "held back" packages?
[07:23] <gdb> Does anyone know how to manually acknowledge the "System restart required" notification?
[07:23] <Gecko> pattyD: try to apt-get install them manually
[07:23] <w30> user-land, oops name completion goes wrong again
[07:23] <mcphail> seth: apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[07:23] <seth> mcphail: hm
[07:23] <seth> k
[07:24] <user-land> interestingly, some wmv's are playing well on amd64 :-)
[07:24] <user-land> how come ?
[07:24] <matthew_w> ... uh, the topic is a web page.... how do I do that without X?
[07:24] <pattyD> no dice when I try to install them individually, I get this error:
