[12:01] <waxyfresh> gnomefreak, nothing right now but the other day i went to0 uninstall/install something and the computers said it wanted to uninstall GDM gnome display manager i think?just wondering why apt sometiems wants to remove important stuff
[12:01] <eternaljoy> foxiness: no
[12:01] <the_real_q> qbert
[12:01] <gnomefreak> waxyfresh: because of what you are removing
[12:01] <the_real_q> you have my nick
[12:01] <gnomefreak> waxyfresh: or you are using autoremove and shouldnt be
[12:01] <bruenig> waxyfresh, but what were you removing the other day, if you were removing xserver-xorg then yeah it might want to also remove gdm
[12:01] <foxiness> eternaljoy: to use DVD a replace of HD space?
[12:01] <gnomefreak> bruenig: it will
[12:02] <Pelo> paul201,  sorry to drop you like this but I have to go ,  I am very sorry
[12:02] <gnomefreak> all gui apps will be removed
[12:02] <paul201> its fine
[12:02] <bruenig> foxiness, he wants a dvd that he can put into the drive that will allow him to boot into his already existing linux partition
[12:02] <neil__> gnomefreak: I removed the symlinks to libtotem-complex-plugin.*
[12:02] <qbert> qbert_, i told ya to stop
[12:02] <neil__> now, opening the news window gives a realmedia player for 5~ seconds
[12:02] <paul201> can someone help me partition my harddrive so i can installubuntu
[12:02] <neil__> however it then goes grey again, and I get a message telling me realplayer.bin had to close...
[12:02] <waxyfresh> bruenig, i think it was something like openoffice parts or some font files,nothing that should of had to do anyhting with GDM
[12:02] <paul201> ?
[12:03] <velko> qbert, you're out for blood, eh?
[12:03] <gnomefreak> neil__: reinstall realplayer sounds like a bad incomplete install (use command line so you can see errors)
[12:03] <paul201> someone?
[12:03] <Panterh3art> :]
[12:04] <Panterh3art> hey velko :D
[12:04] <velko> Panterh3art, hi

[12:05] <maccam94> anyone here familiar with lvm?
[12:05] <paul201> i need help with partition my harddrive
[12:05] <eternaljoy> foxiness: go bacl to sleep dude
[12:05] <bruenig> mikebeecham, it shouldn't have, what makes you think it has disappeared
[12:05] <paul201> partitioning*
[12:05] <gnomefreak> mikebeecham: what did you change in that file?
[12:06] <neil__> gnomefreak: http://news.bbc.co.uk/media/avdb/news/video/87000/bb/87649_16x9_bb.ram is the path to the actual file
[12:06] <neil__> "opening location" in realplayer works fine
[12:06] <neil__> but it crashes inside of firefox...
[12:06] <mikebeecham> bruenig: Because there is not Main Partition icon on my desktop any more, and when I try to navigate to it, there is no entry for it via File manager...my secondary partition is there, but not the primary
[12:06] <kingcobra> hello
[12:06] <foxiness> eternaljoy: realy am so tried
[12:06] <maccam94> anybody here know much about lvm? i'm having trouble with an lvm xfs partition mounting with an incorrect size
[12:06] <mikebeecham> gnomefreak: All I did was take the windows section and cut/paste it above the linux entries in the list
[12:06] <beg1689> hello?
[12:06] <gnomefreak> neil__: i need all this info on bug report. if you have a crash report add it to the bug report also
[12:06] <gnomefreak> mikebeecham: did you use cut or copy?
[12:06] <neil__> gnomefreak: ok :)
[12:06] <brunoUT> yo peeps
[12:06] <beg1689> Can someone tell me how to compile a kernel module from a single .c?
[12:07] <Apollo101> velko theres no way to get the apps back.. any way?   (but i can get all my settings back right?)
[12:07] <mikebeecham> cut
[12:07] <mikebeecham> gnomefreak: cut
[12:07] <bruenig> mikebeecham, do sudo mount -a to see if it shows up and then if it doesn't do sudo mount /dev/hda1 to see
[12:07] <gnomefreak> neil__: im building ff atm after patching so not much i can do atm
[12:07] <brunoUT> can someone tell me what x-window is or x server
[12:07] <brunoUT> im trying to install from a dvd
[12:07] <brunoUT> and im getting those errors
[12:07] <velko> Apollo101, if you restore the /home directory from the backup you'll restore just the settings
[12:08] <foxiness> i remember something about press enter
[12:08] <gnomefreak> mikebeecham: paste your menu.lst file to pastebin for someone to look at
[12:08] <mikebeecham> gnomefreak: will do....
[12:08] <velko> Apollo101, if you restore the whole partition, you'll get the apps too :-)
[12:08] <bruenig> the menu.lst shouldn't affect his hda1 from mounting especially since it appears to be some sort of non essential partition
[12:08] <sammm> just installed ubuntu, how do i go about sorting wpa over wireless?
[12:08] <mikebeecham> gnomefreak: would you mind pasting the terminal command again...I've been using Linux about 2 weeks
[12:08] <brunoUT> what is "xsetup"
[12:08] <mikebeecham> gnomefreak: I know it's gksudo something
[12:08] <PriceChild> brunoUT, i thought you had ubuntu installed and were installing matlab?
[12:09] <gnomefreak> bruenig: if i had to guess mikebeecham missed something maybe didnt paste or something
[12:09] <bruenig> I am guessing fluke
[12:09] <gnomefreak> mikebeecham: gksudo gedit /etc/boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:09] <sammm> any encountered a bug with ubuntus grub installer?
[12:09] <Quarupt> Okay so how can I tell what version of ubuntu I am running?
[12:09] <whtet> can i reconnect to lost ssh connection ? how can i do that?
[12:09] <gnomefreak> maybe didnt space windows and linux lines?
[12:09] <sammm> windows blue screens when trying to boot now
[12:09] <gnomefreak> ok im out for a bit while this damn thing builds
[12:10] <bruenig> Quarupt, cat /etc/lsb-release | awk -F= '/CODENAME/ {print $2}'
[12:10] <Quarupt> what is the latest?
[12:10] <Quarupt> Dapper?
[12:10] <foxiness> Quarupt:  lsb_release --help
[12:10] <Quarupt> what is the latest stable?
[12:11] <mikebeecham> gnomefreak: this is so annoying...I am cutting/pasting your command and my menu.lst is empty again?
[12:11] <velko> Quarupt, etch :-)
[12:11] <velko> Quarupt, no it's a joke. the last stable ubuntu is edjy
[12:11] <Quarupt> So I am behind if i am running 6.06 dapper?
[12:11] <Steil>  mikebeecham: put quotation marks before gedit and after lst
[12:11] <velko> Quarupt, dapper is the long supported version
[12:11] <ripzaw> Quarupt: far behind...
[12:12] <foxiness> Quarupt: feisty on week of 19 apr
[12:12] <velko> Quarupt, is meant for corporate use and such
[12:12] <Quarupt> How can I upgrade?
[12:12] <mikebeecham> Steil: nope...still empty
[12:12] <brunoUT> what is X windows?
[12:12] <brunoUT> can anyone help me with that?
[12:12] <bruenig> brunoUT, it controls the gui
[12:12] <Steil> mikebeecham: open the terminal....type in "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[12:12] <Steil> without the quotes
[12:12] <bruenig> well sort of, it is what provides the gui
[12:12] <ardchoille> !upgrade | Quarupt
[12:12] <ubotu> Quarupt: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:12] <brunoUT> i get an error from that in the terminal when i try installing
[12:12] <brunoUT> what is going on?
[12:12] <PriceChild> brunoUT, installing what?
[12:12] <mikebeecham> Steil: No such file or directory
[12:13] <sammm> i can't boot windows any more after installing ubuntu
[12:13] <brunoUT> matlab
[12:13] <tommy1987> anybody know of a kubuntu Edgy deb package for gimpshop?
[12:13] <PriceChild> brunoUT, so you're already in ubuntu?
[12:13] <Steil> mikebeecham:  try tacking a sudo before the cat
[12:13] <brunoUT> yes i am pricechild
[12:13] <ripzaw> if office XP and photoshop 7 can work with that crossover.... its goodbye bill gates forever....
[12:13] <brunoUT> i am trying to install in the terminal
[12:13] <mikebeecham> Steil: Command not found
[12:13] <foxiness> sammm: vista?
[12:13] <brunoUT> using the sh install command
[12:13] <Steil> mikebeecham: sudo cat /boot/grub/menu.lst doesnt work?
[12:14] <ardchoille> !gimpshop | tommy1987
[12:14] <ubotu> tommy1987: gimpshop is a hack that makes The Gimp look and feel more like Photoshop.  A .deb for Ubuntu is available via http://plasticbugs.com/?page_id=294
[12:14] <mikebeecham> Steil: Just removed the quotation marks!!!!
[12:14] <Apollo101> velko thanks alot !
[12:14] <Quarupt> ardchoille, that doesnt tell me how to upgrade
[12:14] <sammm> no foxiness, xp pro
[12:14] <Steil> so it worked?
[12:14] <PriceChild> brunoUT, you tried the instructions i gave you?
[12:14] <mikebeecham> Steil: Yes...I shall cut/paste into pastebin and popst the link
[12:15] <ardchoille> Quarupt: What are you upgrading?
[12:15] <sammm> windows trys to boots and kicks up a blue screen complaining about unmounted partitions
[12:15] <magic_ninja> to update don't you just go in change ur repos and then apt-get upgrade-dist
[12:15] <foxiness> Quarupt: gksudo update-manager -d -c "after press alt+f2"
[12:15] <brunoUT> ....
[12:15] <brunoUT> u there pricechild?
[12:15] <tommy1987> thanks
[12:15] <PriceChild> brunoUT, yes?
[12:15] <ardchoille> Quarupt: It most certainly does tell you how to upgrade, but you have to actually read the page and follow the links.
[12:16] <tommy1987> I want to explore a new distro, would you guys be able to advise any?
[12:16] <foxiness> tommy1987: ask google :)
[12:16] <takmabeyin> pardus
[12:16] <mikebeecham> Here guys...I dont understand it...but maybe you know....http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14772/
[12:16] <velko> tommy1987, what do you expect from it?
[12:16] <mjr> tommy1987, Debian GNU/Hurd
[12:16] <tommy1987> I could ask google but there is so many to choose form
[12:16] <velko> mjr, lol!
[12:17] <foxiness> tommy1987: vista if it a distro ...
[12:17] <tommy1987> I was thinking of debian
[12:17] <Quarupt> ardchoille, no I did read the whole page it just says you cannot skip and gives a summary of each version, maybe you should read it?
[12:17] <velko> tommy1987, if you are comming from ubuntu you'll be right at home in debian
[12:17] <ardchoille> Quarupt: I did, there's a link that akes you to a page with the commands to run.
[12:17] <tommy1987> ;-)
[12:17] <velko> tommy1987, i don't know if that counts as new distro though
[12:18] <tommy1987> Anybody involved with this new ubuntu magazine?
[12:18] <neil__> gnomefreak: I have submitted what I can and assigned it to you

[12:20] <Lam_> velko, mjr:  thanks
[12:20] <PriceChild> crazy_monito, DON'T paste that into this channel!
[12:20] <Soccrmastr20> ram songs are realplayer
[12:20] <mjr> Lam_, or what velko said if you need to reconfigure it as well; that just generates it from debconf information
[12:20] <foxiness> anyone know about hendaus problem can help
[12:20] <mikebeecham> gnomefreak: Did you get that link ok mate?
[12:20] <crazy_monito> PriceChild: off-topic

[12:28] <ardchoille> deus: Oh, I don't know.
[12:28] <mikebeecham> bruenig: Did you get my pastebin link mate?
[12:28] <bruenig> podcatcher is a stupid name, but in any sense, realplayer can subscribe to podcasts
[12:28] <crdlb> deus, penguintv
[12:28] <Soccrmastr20> hendaus: refer to the multimedia codecs section of your ubuntu desktop guide. follow all the directions there then try
[12:28] <velko> deus, no it's plain rss
[12:29] <bruenig> mikebeecham, I was away, you never gave any confirmation as to what sudo mount -a and sudo mount /dev/hda1 did
[12:29] <crdlb> deus, it's exactly what you're looking for
[12:29] <bruenig> I meant rhythmbox not real player above
[12:29] <mikebeecham> bruenig: It did nothing mate
[12:29] <wiseelben> anyone know of a program that can tag m4a files?

[12:29] <Soccrmastr20> hendaus: should be the same anyway

[12:32] <crdlb> deus, from the changelog for 2.85: "# Discovered workarounds for Mozilla crashes in Ubuntu and Fedora"
[12:32] <wiseelben> Soccrmastr20: yep, that's the beauty of it all. It actually stores the stuff you're using in memory so it's a bit faster

[12:36] <wiseelben> bruenig: yeah why don't you figure out how to tag m4a's for me
[12:36] <MagusKn> what's the best news reader program?
[12:36] <bruenig> !info python-mutagen | wiseelben I should showed you
[12:36] <ubotu> wiseelben i should showed you: python-mutagen: audio metadata editing library. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.1-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 66 kB, installed size 368 kB
[12:36] <bruenig> there is the library, you know python, get to it
[12:37] <mikebeecham> bruenig: Well done mate...all sorted.  I wonder whether Windows did not boot down properly last time, and so the partition was not set correctly
[12:37] <bruenig> mikebeecham, good
[12:37] <wiseelben> bruenig: thanks for linking me to a library
[12:37] <bruenig> mikebeecham, yeah that is what the error said
[12:37] <mikebeecham> Ahhh ok
[12:37] <wiseelben> bruenig: I havn't seen any frontends that actually tags m4a's
[12:38] <bruenig> wiseelben, you know python...
[12:38] <wiseelben> bruenig: i think this is better for bash and you know all that fi hctiws esac stuff
[12:38] <bruenig> yeah I dominate case
[12:38] <mikebeecham> bruenig: However, I have just tried to open up the menu.lst, and it is still empty...I was using the following command: gksudo gedit /etc/boot/grub/menu.lst  Is that correct?
[12:39] <bruenig> mikebeecham, no, /boot/grub/menu.list not /etc/boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:39] <klimraamkosie> how do I send a file as an attachment on an email from bash?
[12:39] <bruenig> wiseelben, what is hctiws
[12:39] <wiseelben> switch bacwkards duh
[12:39] <bruenig> wiseelben, right but what is that in bash
[12:40] <wiseelben> closes  a switch statemnet? i dunno
[12:40] <mikebeecham> bruenig: Great..thanks...am I able to remove previous kernels, or will that upset things?
[12:40] <bruenig> there is no switch statement
[12:40] <foug> sammm: cdburn.exe won't open
[12:40] <wiseelben> in bash? i'm pretty sure there is
[12:40] <velko> klimraamkosie, mutt is one of the best email clients. ever
[12:40] <foug> i downloaded the resource tool kit thing
[12:40] <bruenig> mikebeecham, you can remove them if you want, you might want to just comment them out by putting #'s in front of the lines so that if you decide later, you can put them back
[12:40] <wiseelben> what kind of scripting language is this
[12:40] <mikebeecham> bruenig: and by that I mean just from the menu.lst
[12:41] <klimraamkosie> velko: will it let me send a file to an email address with one command?
[12:41] <velko> klimraamkosie, yep
[12:41] <bruenig> wiseelben, I have never seen switch, pretty sure it doesn't exist
[12:41] <klimraamkosie> awesome!:D

[12:51] <mikebeecham> The question is this.....I have a problem with my screensavers.  It seems to play a small version of my screensaver within another larger version of the same screensaver.  There seems to be a sharp edge to the smaller one that distinguishes it from the larger one.  Incidentally, when I click to quit, and the quit window comes up, I notice the same edge of a window within the larger window...all very strange?
[12:51] <kitche> alen: then you probably have to raise it
[12:52] <alen> have to raise ? how ??
[12:52] <brunoUT> darn this is hard
[12:52] <hacked_kernel> When the final version Fiesty will be released?

[12:54] <brunoUT> whatever i type does nothing

[12:56] <fevel> can someone please help? I used alien to convert vmwareworkstation into deb and installed it. bBut when I run /usr/bin/vmware-config.pl it returns an error message in the end
[12:56] <me> is there any big game on linux ?
[12:56] <brunoUT> ??
[12:56] <brunoUT> PriceChild?
[12:56] <bruenig> fevel, aliening vmware is probably not a good idea
[12:56] <SeveredCross> fevel: Compile it without the RPM
[12:56] <jrib> brunoUT: sudo sh /media/cdrom/install -t
[12:56] <PriceChild> jrib, bah :)
[12:56] <bruenig> fevel, aliening small things here and there, probably harmless, but vmware is definitely not something you want to do that on
[12:56] <PriceChild> brunoUT, what jri.b said sorry
[12:56] <fevel> Yes but now it kind of broke apt-get
[12:56] <SeveredCross> Not compile it, but rather just install it via the tarball
[12:56] <SeveredCross> It shouldn't break apt unless you did something REALLY bad.
[12:57] <SeveredCross> What's the apt-get error>
[12:57] <bruenig> !alien
[12:57] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[12:57] <bruenig> dangerous
[12:57] <fevel> and I cant uninstall it
[12:57] <fevel> cant install anything to tell u the truth
[12:57] <rockzman> Can anyone help me i need to install mysql 4 instead of 5 on my server is that possible? (ON 7.04)

[01:02] <PriceChild> bruenig, there is no difference
[01:02] <brunoUT> he couldnt get it to work in ubuntu either

[01:03] <rml> New to Ubuntu: how do I delete temp files and cache? (just know how it's done on the dark side)

[01:05] <SeveredCross> Yes phasegen.
[01:05] <brunoUT> -c -h -m -p
[01:05] <crdlb> phasegen, I'd even recommend it
[01:05] <SeveredCross> In fact, it's recommended that you use x86.
[01:05] <brunoUT> what on earth?????
[01:05] <SeveredCross> The x64 version is just not that stable.
[01:05] <SeveredCross> Not as stable as x86 anyway.
[01:06] <PriceChild> phasegen, also some packages are not packaged for x86_64
[01:06] <fevel> can someone help me fix my apt-get
[01:06] <PriceChild> fevel, what's wrong with it?
[01:06] <brunoUT> PriceChild can u go to another channel and help me
[01:06] <brunoUT> this is getting nothing done
[01:06] <bruenig> fevel, you have to tell us what the error is, and use pastebin please
[01:06] <brunoUT> go to #bruno

[01:06] <PriceChild> brunoUT, Please give us the error it is returning
[01:06] <fevel> it tells me to run apt-get -f install, when I do it returns
[01:06] <fevel>  duplicate value for user-defined field `Original-Maintainer'
[01:06] <fevel> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)
[01:06] <brunoUT> its not error this time
[01:06] <brunoUT> i typed what i just said
[01:06] <PriceChild> brunoUT, what is it then?
[01:07] <brunoUT> and its giving me all these options:
[01:07] <PriceChild> brunoUT, that's _all_ it gave you?
[01:07] <phasegen> Thank You All Very Much...    I needed that.
[01:07] <brunoUT> -c -h - -l --login -m -p -s --shell
[01:07] <PriceChild> brunoUT, have you read the readme file, does it say anything about the instillation in there?
[01:07] <bruenig> fevel, sounds like it is saying that the package's control file has two entries for original maintainer
[01:07] <brunoUT> yeah i follow those steps and they do not work of course
[01:07] <bruenig> seems odd that that would be enough to shut dpkg down
[01:07] <fevel> bruenig: My noobness makes me have no idea what that means
[01:08] <bruenig> fevel, it is an error I have never seen and I can't begin to think of how to fix it, I mean maybe some dpkg -r --force-all package kind of thing might do it, very funny error
[01:08] <fevel> bruenig: if it helps: it started after I installed vmware with an aliened .deb package
[01:08] <bruenig> fevel, yeah bad idea
[01:09] <bruenig> fevel, try removing that package
[01:09] <brunoUT> GAHHHH
[01:09] <brunoUT> GAH
[01:09] <fevel> bruenig: I cant...it just tells me to apt-get -f install
[01:09] <fevel> bruenig: lol
[01:09] <bruenig> fevel, it must tell you more than that
[01:09] <brunoUT> it says INVALID OPTION when i type su with no do Price
[01:10] <bruenig> !sudo
[01:10] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:10] <PriceChild> brunoUT, i didn't tell you to type su with no do.
[01:10] <wiseelben> bruenig: I finally got m4a and aac support on easytag...
[01:10] <brunoUT> ok....someone else did then
[01:10] <bruenig> wiseelben, yeah how about conky repository updates
[01:10] <PriceChild> brunoUT, Nope they didn't
[01:10] <fevel> bruenig: since i installed it with dpkg -i i did a dpkg -r vmwareworkstation
[01:10] <wrox> hi! can anyone suggest a good linux program to rip DVD's to DivX ?

[01:11] <fevel> bruenig: and it just tells me that duplicate maintainer thing
[01:11] <PriceChild> brunoUT, I recommend you contact MATLAB's support or the place you got the software from for help with instillation if the readme doesn't help you further.
[01:11] <wrox> bruenig: thx
[01:11] <bruenig> fevel, try sudo dpkg -r --force-all vmwareworkstation

[01:12] <XiXaQ> is there any significant performance improvement when running Feisty under vmware, because of the VMI support?
[01:12] <fevel> nope
[01:12] <MasterOfDisaster> gksudo for programs with a GUI
[01:13] <PriceChild> XiXaQ, I've only run the beta with un-turn-offable debugging but I would guess there is a significant increase.
[01:13] <bruenig> why is the gksudo dialog such a drag, with the screen getting dark, it just looks like crap
[01:13] <Yahooadam> looks exactly like vista lol
[01:13] <bruenig> A nice pop up would be far better than that thing
[01:13] <safer> Fresh ubuntu installed: what's the newest and best drivers for my ATI Radeon 9800 XT?
[01:13] <PriceChild> bruenig, it ensures you don't miss the fact that its asking for password, so that you don't keep clicking elsewhere trying to get into other windows.
[01:14] <PriceChild> bruenig, it needs to lock everything else out to ensure nothing snips the password.
[01:14] <PriceChild> bruenig, if it can't, it tells you such
[01:14] <PriceChild> Yahooadam, other way around
[01:14] <jrib> bruenig: you can disable it if it really bothers you (somewhere in gconf)

[01:14] <NBrepresent> here's what i've got right now: http://i19.tinypic.com/2dgnvd1.png
[01:15] <PriceChild> ciscosurfer, Can I help you? :)
[01:15] <ciscosurfer> NBrepresent, you can use GParted on the Live CD
[01:15] <crdlb> safer, on edgy I'd still have to suggest (regretfully) fglrx, but on feisty I'd say use the open source driver included in ubuntu
[01:15] <ciscosurfer> PriceChild: nah, just saying "hello"
[01:15] <NBrepresent> I'd like to get that unallocated space at the end of the ext3 partition
[01:15] <PriceChild> ciscosurfer, hey :)
[01:15] <NBrepresent> ciscosurfer: i'm using it right now ;)
[01:15] <safer> OK - ty
[01:16] <bruenig> NBrepresent, that isn't going to happen unless you completely format that extended partition
[01:16] <NBrepresent> ugh, really?
[01:16] <dimas__> can anyone give me a hand to set up my webcam?
[01:16] <ciscosurfer> NBrepresent, the GParted web site has very good documentation on it to get you started http://gparted.sourceforge.net/index.php
[01:16] <bruenig> NBrepresent, or are you talking about the unallocated space at the end
[01:16] <jrib> !webcam > dimas__    (dimas__, see the private message from ubotu)
[01:16] <NBrepresent> the documentation is actually not that great, i read pretty much all of it today.
[01:16] <bruenig> I figured not since it is 7 mb
[01:16] <NBrepresent> i'm talking about the 23 gb in the middle.
[01:17] <NBrepresent> i'd like to use it in hda5
[01:17] <bruenig> NBrepresent, yeah format
[01:17] <ciscosurfer> NBrepresent, okay, so what is your question again, we'll try to help you out :-)
[01:17] <dimas__> i would like to have a human been to help me with this please
[01:18] <ciscosurfer> NBrepresent, you can select the unallocated space and then format it however you like
[01:18] <NBrepresent> the question is that i'd like my extended partition to take up all of that unallocated space, specifically the ext3 inside it
[01:18] <Yahooadam> wtf ubuntu is taking agees to boot
[01:18] <bruenig> !webcam | dimas__ did you at least look through the documentation
[01:18] <ubotu> dimas__ did you at least look through the documentation: Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[01:18] <NBrepresent> ciscosurfer: i'm thinking that that's the easiest way to go
[01:18] <ciscosurfer> NBrepresent, can you resize the unallocated space??
[01:18] <ciscosurfer> NBrepresent, nm, dumb question
[01:18] <NBrepresent> heh
[01:19] <duckzin> finally..
[01:19] <ciscosurfer> NBrepresent, you'd have to have it formated before you could resize it and then only allowable to what is available
[01:19] <dimas__> is there any human been able to help me to set up my web cam,...if i am here is because i had red the web pages about it and havent success
[01:19] <Scunizi> anyone been able to compile digikam for Gnome? How?
[01:19] <bruenig> what is that fat16 at the top of the disk for
[01:19] <NBrepresent> i guess i'll just format it as ext3 and keep it separate. i don't want to bother setting everything up again.
[01:19] <bruenig> dimas__, but is the webcam in the supported cams list
[01:19] <duckzin> anyone running bmpx on dapper/
[01:20] <xehp> he is

[01:21] <fenrig> hi
[01:21] <kevinh90> can someone help me get direct rendering working for my ati rage mobility card(mach64 chipset)(not radeon compatible)(not fglrx compatible)

[01:21] <fenrig> is there a tool to shutdown ubuntu after a custom time
[01:21] <cafuego_> fenrig: `at'
[01:21] <jrib> fenrig: the shutdown command does that
[01:21] <bruenig> fenrig, sudo shutdown -h seconds
[01:21] <cafuego_> (and shutdown too ;-)
[01:21] <kevinh90> fenrig: shutdown -t 123
[01:21] <T0uCH> bruenig i cant apply modification to the files source.list
[01:22] <kevinh90> can anyone help me? i cant believe i am the only one who has ever attempted this
[01:22] <bruenig> T0uCH, open the file as root, gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[01:22] <duckzin> touch: are you using sudo to do so?
[01:22] <fenrig> -t or -h ?
[01:22] <jrib> fenrig: you don't even need any, but to see what they do, go to 'man shutdown'
[01:22] <kevinh90> fenrig: i dont remember
[01:22] <T0uCH> no... i am not really familliar to linux
[01:23] <T0uCH> but i'll try
[01:23] <kevinh90> g2g
[01:23] <dimas__> bruenig what you did not understand?
[01:23] <bruenig> fenrig, it is -h
[01:23] <bruenig> dimas__, the entire last message was incoherent
[01:23] <dimas__> ok
[01:24] <dimas__> i did install the drive spca5xx
[01:24] <duckzin> please anyone running bmpx on dapper?
[01:24] <NBrepresent> i think i cut my losses. i put the unallocated space inside the extended partition, but couldn't make it join the hda5 so i just made it hda7
[01:24] <NBrepresent> hm, maybe it'll keep me organized.
[01:24] <NBrepresent> thanks for your help
[01:25] <bruenig> what a messy table
[01:25] <duckzin> no kiddin
[01:25] <NBrepresent> bruenig: mine?
[01:25] <bruenig> yep
[01:25] <dimas__> i am using camorama but saids "can not connect to video device"
[01:25] <Epic720> I am getting a random screetching coming out of my speakers, has anyone else had this problem?
[01:25] <NBrepresent> it's not my fault, the extra partitions are there because Dell leaves hidden system restore partitions
[01:25] <duckzin> dimas__ get mplayer
[01:26] <cafuego_> Epic720: only when I play sepultura.
[01:26] <bruenig> NBrepresent, you can delete them
[01:26] <dimas__> what are you talking about duckzin?
[01:26] <NBrepresent> i guess i'm leaving them on in case i ever sell this comp, i can just revert to factory settings
[01:26] <Epic720> I was playing amarok. But it continued after I paused it...
[01:26] <bruenig> NBrepresent, I had the same thing on my compaq and I just removed them, your warranty or whatever is gone anyways so it doesn't matter
[01:26] <duckzin> NBrepresent, still a HD tho... you can erase it
[01:26] <duckzin> like the guy said up there
[01:26] <NBrepresent> yeah, that's true
[01:27] <NBrepresent> well, it's reboot time for me. i'm on the livecd right now
[01:27] <wakady> how to set mplayer to work with multimedia keys
[01:27] <duckzin> bruenig: i can't find a lib for dapper... and you seem to know a lot

[01:34] <DustWolf> indeed

[01:34] <Dasnipa`> stupid spammers
[01:34] <cafuego_> Samyel: A child running a dcc exploit to disconnect users.
[01:34] <kitche> wakady: if you asked a question no onew seen it sicne the channel was +m muted

[01:35] <wakady> ok here is the question again
[01:35] <gRaCiOsO> what is the syntax to put a gateway with ifconfig
[01:35] <gRaCiOsO> ?
[01:35] <r0bby> what the hell was that
[01:35] <cafuego_> gRaCiOsO: I don't use ifconfig, you use route.
[01:35] <r0bby> er heck
[01:35] <r0bby> sorry
[01:35] <_Johny|away> !ifconfig
[01:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ifconfig - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:35] <J-_> argh ctcp flood from the bots
[01:36] <wakady> i want to set dvdrom speed to lower speed than default bec. its too noisy
[01:36] <cafuego_> gRaCiOsO: 'sudo route add default gw x.x.x.x' or 'sudo route add -net x.x.x.x gw y.y.y.y'
[01:36] <rennen01> gRaCiOsO, one second
[01:36] <mikebeecham> whats with all the bot spam?
[01:36] <DustWolf> ;p
[01:37] <mina_linux_Tux> even anyone answer me , ..... can i use that on your ubuntu  to insert my module to the kernel,  apt-get install module-assistant kernel-headers-$(uname -r) build-essential .. and then make a .deb for it and install it with apt, or dpkg

[01:37] <rennen01> but first bring thenic down
[01:37] <rennen01> *the nic

[01:38] <NBrepresent> hey, back now
[01:39] <NBrepresent> well now that i have that space to use, how do i mount it?
[01:39] <jrib> NBrepresent: mount what?
[01:39] <mina_linux_Tux> is there anything understandable in what i'm asking about ?
[01:39] <NBrepresent> my hda7 partition
[01:39] <jrib> NBrepresent: just once or every time on boot?
[01:39] <NBrepresent> every time on boot
[01:39] <r0bby> sudo mount -t fsType /dev/hda7 /mnt/hda7
[01:39] <NBrepresent> i have fstab open
[01:39] <bpasham> lspci: soory .. due the flood .. I' I'm trying to find messages for me .. There is no Stack trace as it is happening at the initial stage of the install process .. some ten lines comes out .. with last line as Kernel Panic ..Not Synching: Aiee ... Killing Interrupt handler ..
[01:40] <r0bby> you need replace fsType with the file system type
[01:40] <jrib> NBrepresent: 1) create a mount point (sudo mkdir /media/hda7) 2) add it to /etc/fstab
[01:40] <r0bby> and /mnt/hda7 has to exist.
[01:40] <jrib> !fstab > NBrepresent    (NBrepresent, see the private message from ubotu)
[01:40] <NBrepresent> ok
[01:40] <NBrepresent> ok
[01:40] <Absolute0> i just ran sudo /dev/hda and created a hda3 partition but its not showing up in /dev ...
[01:40] <NBrepresent> does it matter where in fstab i put that line?
[01:40] <Absolute0> anyways i can refresh /dev ?
[01:41] <jrib> NBrepresent: no
[01:41] <NBrepresent> super
[01:41] <jrib> NBrepresent: just put it at the end
[01:42] <Absolute0> ?
[01:42] <mina_linux_Tux> hellooooooooooooooooooooo
[01:42] <Absolute0> i just ran sudo /dev/hda and created a hda3 partition but its not showing up in /dev ...
[01:42] <mina_linux_Tux> may anyone answer me
[01:42] <blanky> hi
[01:42] <Absolute0> so i cant do makefs on /dev/hda3
[01:43] <rockzman> !feisty
[01:43] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn") should be released in April 2007.

[01:43] <PriceChild> !nickspam > monito
[01:43] <fluoblack> what do you want to do Absolute0?
[01:43] <h3xis> Absolute0, restart udev
[01:43] <monito> PriceChild: what' is that?
[01:44] <jrib> mina_linux_Tux: just ask your question (repeat it after about 15 minutes if no one knew the first time or try other support options)
[01:44] <PriceChild> monito, see the pm from ubotu
[01:44] <NBrepresent> jrib: do i have to give options?
[01:44] <monito> got it. i'm newbie in IRC, thanks.
[01:44] <jrib> NBrepresent: what filesystem is this?
[01:44] <NBrepresent> ext3
[01:45] <jrib> NBrepresent: just put "defaults" for options if you don't want any options then
[01:45] <meck0_> I accidently deleted a directory (with shift+del) and want it back :/ how can I do that? its an ext3 partition
[01:45] <NBrepresent> and dump and pass?
[01:46] <comodo> can someone tell me the command to check for 3d rendering
[01:46] <anut> !samba
[01:46] <NBrepresent> jrib: i can leave dump and pass blank?
[01:46] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[01:46] <jrib> NBrepresent: no, read the last 3 paragraphs in 'man fstab'.   :P
[01:47] <h3xis> T0uCH, nothing. a virus is usually written under the win32 platform.
[01:47] <T0uCH> so i can watch p0rn0 lol?
[01:48] <cornel1> Generally, correct me if I'm wrong, it dies.
[01:48] <h3xis> T0uCH, i guess
[01:48] <T0uCH> and .exe files does it run on?
[01:49] <PriceChild> !ohmy | T0uCH
[01:49] <ubotu> T0uCH: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:49] <NBrepresent> jrib: i understand 'pass' but not dump
[01:49] <T0uCH> PriceChild:  im sorry :( lol
[01:49] <h3xis> T0uCH, .exe files cant run within linux.
[01:49] <h3xis> they can, just not natively
[01:49] <jrib> NBrepresent: 0 is fine
[01:49] <atselby> Anyone here have Firestarter?
[01:50] <PriceChild> !anyone | atselby
[01:50] <ubotu> atselby: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:50] <T0uCH> so if i have a installation files for a program in exe... i shouldn't open it right?
[01:50] <h3xis> T0uCH, you can but it wont do anything. it's not been written for the gnu/linux environment
[01:50] <atselby> ...Alright.
[01:50] <atselby> Can anyone help me get Firestarter to run at startup?
[01:50] <Yahooadam> well after like 18 hours messing around, ubuntu finally works
[01:51] <jrib> Tom47: you can try to use wine, but in general you will find good linux alternatives that you are better off using
[01:51] <h3xis> atselby, what do you mean firestarter? the app itself? firestarter is just a frontend for managing iptables
[01:51] <Yahooadam> i can see why linux isnt widely adopted yet
[01:51] <PriceChild> atselby, add "gksudo firestarter" to system  > preferences > sessions > startup
[01:51] <jrib> T0uCH: you can try to use wine, but in general you will find good linux alternatives that you are better off using
[01:51] <atselby> gksudo?
[01:51] <T0uCH> is there a place where i can find linux program outside the add/remove command in the menu
[01:51] <atselby> I had tried sudo and it did not run.
[01:51] <PriceChild> Yahooadam, I guess you're unlucky with the hardware
[01:51] <atselby> pricechild: okay.
[01:51] <h3xis> T0uCH, you can but it's not recommended unless you have a reason to do so
[01:52] <PriceChild> atselby, note that the firewall is always running... firestarter is just a way to see what its doing

[01:52] <anut> Can anyone aid me with getting XP to talk to my Samba share?  Do I need to create a new user with the same username I use on XP?  Or can I have Linux recognize my XP username "Alex" as my linux account "anut"?  Or am I speaking utter nonsense?
[01:53] <h3xis> anut, you can either set it so that you dont need a login, thus using the parameter guest = ok, OR you can create a user in XP that has the same name within the linux box, OR you can create a samba share account name within the linux box, but im fuzzy on how to do that
[01:54] <Yahooadam> pricechild - it seems so
[01:54] <bhavi> how to generate SSH Keys?
[01:54] <Yahooadam> one question though, how can i get ubuntu to start with eth0 enabled - i keep having to do sudo ifup eth0
[01:54] <bhavi> and upload it
[01:55] <h3xis> bhavi, ssh-keygen -t rsa
[01:55] <atselby> pricechild: yes I know.
[01:55] <atselby> pricechild: thank you.
[01:55] <cornel1> anut, I've found the easiest thing is to have the users defined on all machines, (mine is a small home LAN)
[01:55] <Valstorm> hello
[01:55] <NBrepresent> jrib: how do i change permissions on the mounted folder? it's at /media/junk but i created it as root, so i can't use it yet
[01:55] <Valstorm> :D
[01:55] <bhavi> Where to save it
[01:55] <jrib> NBrepresent: use chmod and chown appropriately
[01:55] <jrib> !permissions > NBrepresent    (NBrepresent, see the private message from ubotu)
[01:56] <h3xis> bhavi, that's up to you
[01:56] <Valstorm> I have a question, I want to reinstall Ubuntu edgy, what can I do for a complete clean install?
[01:56] <Valstorm> Do I have to format?
[01:56] <Valstorm> Or is it okay to reinstall?
[01:56] <jrib> Valstorm: that would be the best/easiest way
[01:56] <h3xis> Valstorm, you wipe the disk within gparted, which is part of the installation
[01:57] <Valstorm> Hexis what about windows xp though?
[01:57] <Valstorm> would that not get damaged?
[01:57] <h3xis> what about it?
[01:57] <Xanthus3545> can someone please help me with an install
[01:57] <Valstorm> I have both you know.
[01:57] <bhavi> How to upload my keys on Launchpad?
[01:57] <Valstorm> dual boot thing.
[01:57] <h3xis> Valstorm, do you want to keep xp?
[01:57] <jrib> Xanthus3545: what are you installing?
[01:57] <Valstorm> Nope
[01:57] <crimsun> bhavi: see the left pane of your profile.
[01:57] <corevette> !ask|Xanthus3545
[01:57] <ubotu> Xanthus3545: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:57] <Xanthus3545> the latest version of Unbunta
[01:57] <Valstorm> Well I need XP to check web!
[01:57] <h3xis> Valstorm, dont do anything then. during the install it will give you the option to wipe the disk
[01:58] <anut> Setting guest ok = no doesn't do it.  Windows still prompts me for a user / pass, and it doesn't work if I just enter my linux user / pass.
[01:58] <h3xis> Valstorm, the install CD gives you a browser and desktop alongside the installer
[01:58] <corevette> What do you need Xanthus3545
[01:58] <alphi_> can anyone here help with an RTAI installation issue ?
[01:58] <anut> Err, setting guest ok = yes, even.
[01:58] <crimsun> alphi_: you're almost certainly better off in an RTAI-specific channel.
[01:58] <Xanthus3545> jrib the problem I am having is this when I do the regular install I get graphical interface failed
[01:58] <Valstorm> Okay thanks
[01:59] <Xanthus3545> when I use safe mode it did not install the bootloader
[01:59] <Valstorm> I might as well get started with it

[01:59] <corevette> Xanthus3545, does Gnome even load up?
[01:59] <h3xis> anut, in your smb.conf under the share, you say Read only = no and guest ok = yes, sorry
[01:59] <T0uCH> is there any files finder... like limewire but who running safely and great on linux?
[01:59] <Xanthus3545> in safe mode it loaded the live cd
[01:59] <h3xis> T0uCH, limewire is available for linux
[01:59] <Xanthus3545> but when I did the the install opetion no it did not
[01:59] <jrib> T0uCH: frostwire, gtk-gnutella
[02:00] <bhavi> OK if i give ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.  command not found..
[02:00] <jrib> Xanthus3545: try the alternate cd and look into filing a bug
[02:00] <T0uCH> but these are not in the program list?
[02:00] <h3xis> anut, make sure to restart the samba service so that it will read any settings you made
[02:00] <jrib> bhavi: that's not a command
[02:00] <bhavi> then
[02:00] <Xanthus3545> what is si the alt cd sorry new to this
[02:00] <jrib> bhavi: that's a file you can open and view the contents of
[02:00] <corevette> Xanthus3545, theres something called the Alternative CD that will install Ubuntu, but without loading the graphical interphase
[02:01] <jrib> Xanthus3545: it's kind of hidden away, visit releases.ubuntu.com and you should spot it right away
[02:01] <bhavi> nano  ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub right
[02:01] <Xanthus3545> ok
[02:01] <Xanthus3545> thank you
[02:01] <crimsun> bhavi: click "Update SSH keys", then paste the actual contents into the text entry box, then click "Import Public Key"
[02:01] <corevette> Xanthus3545 The Alt-CD pretty much is a text based installation, but its just as easy as the normal one
[02:01] <hendaus> somebody help please!
[02:01] <anut> Gr.  Still no joy. (Does turning off Samba in the services window, then turning it on again, actually restart it?)

[02:02] <NBrepresent> jrib: i ran 'sudo chmod 777 /media/junk' but when i check permissions using nautilus, it says i still can't write to the folder
[02:02] <h3xis> anut, i'm not sure... go /etc/init.d/samba restart
[02:02] <jrib> NBrepresent: nautilus is dumb, check if you can write to it in the terminal first
[02:02] <hendaus> bruenig,  is there a way to convert 5 files dat2mpg from vcdgear?
[02:02] <bruenig> if /media/junk is ntfs or vfat, I think you have to set permissions with umask
[02:03] <bruenig> hendaus, don't know, ask the channel not me
[02:03] <hendaus> Helpers  is there a way to convert 5 files dat2mpg from vcdgear?
[02:03] <T0uCH> ok.. i cant acces a install files that is in .rpm... archives not suppoted... what should i do to make it run
[02:03] <amicrawler> how do i change my resalution
[02:03] <Cryoniq> How many commandos do you know that can erase entire partition in SUDO?

[02:04] <jrib> NBrepresent: escape the spaces like this:  a\ file\ with\ spaces  or surround it in quotation marks like this:  'a file with spaces'
[02:04] <NBrepresent> jrib: word
[02:04] <spenc3> can seem to install nvidia driver properly.

[02:05] <NBrepresent> why would it omit that directory?

[02:08] <Cryoniq> Yeah.. that would be a good advice :)
[02:08] <hendaus> Helpers  is there a way to convert 5 files dat2mpg from vcdgear?
[02:08] <bruenig> noelferreira, avimerge -i file1 file2 file3 -o outputfile.avi
[02:08] <anut> Rio79, if you're trying to share it to a Windows machine, you'd use Samba.  To do that, you can go to System / Administration / Shared Folders.
[02:08] <hendaus> ./vcdgear -dat2mpg /media/cdrom0/2.DAT gawwar2.mpg <-- now how can to add 3 converter files
[02:09] <spenc3> sizzam: yup. and then now it is having issue with libwfb when it starts.

[02:09] <anut> Rio, are you trying to share to another Linux machine, or to a windows machine?
[02:10] <Rio79> anut windows
[02:10] <brunoUT> yo peeps.....i have a question.....when i open the terminal and type: ls.....shouldnt i see the contents of my desktop?
[02:10] <jrib> Xanthus3545: it should automatically setup grub, the alt cd should do it for you as well
[02:10] <anut> In that case, Samba's the way to go.  I can help you get it installed if you need.
[02:10] <brunoUT> bc i see the contents of my home folder.....is something wrong?
[02:10] <bruenig> brunoUT, should see the contents of your home folder
[02:10] <sizzam> spenc3: are you on edgy or feisty
[02:10] <bruenig> brunoUT, ls Desktop
[02:10] <hendaus> bruenig,  noboby answering my question :<<
[02:10] <brunoUT> ok thanks man
[02:10] <T0uCH> everything i try to instal does work... is there a file type that always work on fisrt attempt and do not require to adjust settings?
[02:10] <bruenig> brunoUT, or cd Desktop && ls

[02:10] <comosicus> whant a girlfriend
[02:10] <spenc3> sizzam: feisty
[02:10] <T0uCH> doesn't

[02:11] <Xanthus3545> well it did not and blew out both my xp and vista installs LOL
[02:11] <Rio79> anut hrmmm... is installing it necessary?  there no other way?
[02:11] <hendaus> bruenig,  ./vcdgear -dat2mpg /media/cdrom0/2.DAT gawwar2.mpg <-- now how can to add 3 converter files
[02:11] <Rio79> hrmmmm
[02:11] <comosicus> whant to chat................................off topic
[02:11] <bruenig> 3 converter files, I don't know what that means

[02:11] <bruenig> comosicus, take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:11] <Rio79> anut thats okay.... at least you gave me direction.  thanks mang!
[02:12] <sizzam> spenc3: I'm seeing forum posts from people having the same problem.   Check out this post, there is a link to a post with a solution that may work for you:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=402741&highlight=nvidia+wfbScreenInit
[02:12] <comosicus> that is not my problem.....bruening....just whant to be seen
[02:12] <anut> No worries. If you don't have Samba installed already, if you go to System / Administration / Shared Folders, it should give you the option to install it automatically.  Any specific reason you're nervous about installing it?
[02:12] <comosicus> i'm trying to configure ekigasftphone.......but at connection type is  when i choose 56k modem nothing happens.......my comp freez

[02:12] <hendaus> bruenig,  is it works like that
[02:13] <sizzam> spenc3: the last post in that thread has a link to the instructions that fixed it for one user
[02:13] <bruenig> hendaus, no, change the | to &&
[02:13] <spenc3> sizzam: thanks for the link, let me look into it :)
[02:13] <Rio79> anut ahhh i just want to minimize the amount of programs that i would be installing.  thats all
[02:13] <persona> ANyway to search websites with x started ?
[02:13] <persona> without err
[02:13] <jrib> persona: what do you mean?
[02:13] <TwistesdTexan> Anyone have a clue on how to make my printer icon to go away. No print jobs pending.
[02:13] <anut> Rio, Samba is more a service than a program, it takes up very minimal system resources.
[02:13] <hendaus> bruenig,  ok thanx, thats everything i need to convert 3 files
[02:13] <jrib> persona: try lynx
[02:14] <persona> I just used envy to update my nvidia drivers. Asked to reboot. When it restarted. Would not go into x
[02:14] <Rio79> anut hrmm...oh okay
[02:14] <bruenig> hendaus, you can just do those commands one at a time
[02:14] <anut> Try that menu option I gave you, then.
[02:14] <jrib> persona: in that case, try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and revert to 'nv' as your driver, then start X and sort the problem
[02:15] <hendaus> bruenig,  ok how 2 at one time
[02:15] <persona> Ok .. thanks alot jrib
[02:15] <h3x0r_> #/holden
[02:15] <bruenig> hendaus, it never does two things at once
[02:15] <bruenig> hendaus, it does one and then the other
[02:16] <slavko> #freenode
[02:16] <profoX`> speaking of printing..... is it normal that I don't get "out of paper" messages and stuff like that on my laptop? :)
[02:16] <bruenig> probably a driver issue
[02:16] <anut> Speaking of Samba, I'm still having trouble getting Windows to log into my samba share, I give it my linux username and password, no joy.  Try setting the share to guest ok = yes, still no joy.
[02:16] <profoX`> bruenig: hm, I use the hpijs thing I think
[02:17] <profoX`> bruenig: would be a big driver issue, since a lot of printers are HP!
[02:17] <brunoUT> breuenig: i am trying to un compress a tarball and i get the following error : gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
[02:17] <bruenig> that is the only thing that makes sense
[02:17] <hendaus> bruenig,  so between each converter an && and thats all ?
[02:17] <brunoUT> whats that mean?
[02:17] <bruenig> hendaus, if you must
[02:17] <profoX`> bruenig: but so it does work on other printers? ;)
[02:17] <profoX`> bruenig: well only a small problem
[02:17] <bruenig> brunoUT, the file isn't gzipped
[02:17] <profoX`> brunoUT: well maybe it is not in gzip format.. is the extension .tar.gz?
[02:18] <brunoUT> yes thats the extension
[02:18] <brunoUT> what should be my command to um compress it?
[02:18] <profoX`> brunoUT: well, maybe you downloaded the wrong file
[02:18] <profoX`> brunoUT: I get that sometimes on sourceforge if I try to wget
[02:18] <bruenig> gunzip -c file
[02:18] <bruenig> or maybe it is just gunzip file
[02:18] <profoX`> its just gunzip
[02:19] <TwistesdTexan> Anyone have a clue on how to make my printer icon to go away? No print jobs pending.
[02:19] <bruenig> well -c says decompress
[02:19] <brunoUT> the guide says to do : tar xvfz hplip-1.7.3.tar.gz
[02:19] <brunoUT> but that does not work
[02:19] <N-J> a quick question...when a window is minimized the icons of it in the toolbars get faded...which is very disorienting
[02:19] <CarlFK> where is the dialog that runs apps on login?
[02:19] <N-J> how can I not let them fade?
[02:19] <bruenig> brunoUT, tar xf
[02:19] <bruenig> brunoUT, why are you installing that
[02:19] <CarlFK> I need to take something out
[02:19] <brunoUT> bc my hp printer does not work yet
[02:19] <bruenig> !info hplip
[02:19] <corevette> brunoUT what version of ubuntu are you using
[02:19] <ubotu> hplip: HP Linux Printing and Imaging System (HPLIP). In component main, is optional. Version 1.6.9-0ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 534 kB, installed size 2544 kB
[02:19] <brunoUT> the newest
[02:19] <bruenig> brunoUT, sudo apt-get install hplip
[02:20] <brunoUT> not beta
[02:20] <bruenig> brunoUT, you should also be able, assuming you have gui, to go to system>administration>printing
[02:20] <ami1> hi. what is a normal temperature for a centrino cpu? i think mine is over heated..
[02:20] <bruenig> and just keep clicking next
[02:20] <corevette> brunoUT you might want to wait for feisty....the next version which comes out on the 19th, has better support for HP printers if i'm not mistaken
[02:20] <h3xis> ami1, what is it reporting?
[02:20] <brunoUT> hmmm
[02:20] <bruenig> hp printers are always well supported
[02:20] <brunoUT> maybe ill shall wait then
[02:20] <bruenig> hp is very open source friendly
[02:20] <cafuego_> amil: Depends on the model and what it's doing.
[02:21] <ami1> start as 76 going up to 90C
[02:21] <brunoUT> but on my last install i had it workin fine
[02:21] <brunoUT> now it wont work of course
[02:21] <cafuego_> amil: As well as the ambient temperature.
[02:21] <cafuego_> amil: That's way high, yes.
[02:21] <bruenig> brunoUT, did you go to system>administration>printing
[02:21] <h3xis> ami1, had the same thing happen. that's high. you need to have it sent in to be looked at
[02:21] <cafuego_> is the fan broken?
[02:21] <brunoUT> yes i did
[02:21] <TwistesdTexan> never mind it went away.
[02:21] <ami1> how can i know if it the OS or hardware issue?
[02:22] <Ireclan> Someone mind telling me how to get Java and Open Office OFF my computer?
[02:22] <h3xis> ami1, boot up a livecd of another distro (knoppix) and see if it's reporting the same thing
[02:22] <N-J> a quick question...when a window is minimized the icons of it in the toolbars get faded...which is very disorienting
[02:22] <N-J> how can I not let them fade?
[02:22] <brunoUT> ahhhh
[02:22] <h3xis> Ireclan, go into synaptic, do a search for both of them, and remove them
[02:22] <bruenig> Ireclan, sudo apt-get autoremove openoffice.org
[02:22] <brunoUT> i clicked shift backspace again

[02:22] <Ireclan> bruenig: I want to do it through Synaptic.
[02:23] <bruenig> Ireclan, well then do it, why ask
[02:23] <brunoUT> ahhh i did it again
[02:23] <Ireclan> bruenig: Because it's giving me hassels.

[02:25] <bruenig> lol
[02:25] <bruenig> he still does it
[02:25] <brunoUT> what was that other command for uncompressing tarballs?
[02:25] <bruenig> brunoUT, collect your thoughts, and then ask a coherent question, don't put "I clicked printers" on a line
[02:25] <smo>  if  lsmod | grep -e "nv" ; then        how can i join a awk command after the grep to have only nv as result not nvidia for exemple ?? bruenig i know you re good :)
[02:25] <Ireclan> h3xis: Can I read off some files and you tell me if they're safe to remove?
[02:25] <h3xis> Ireclan, yes
[02:25] <brunoUT> haha ok my bad
[02:25] <brunoUT> let me calm down
[02:25] <corevette> bruenig Stop being a spam nazi, your almost as bad as him
[02:25] <GaiaX11> brunoUT: Try this one: tar zxpvf file
[02:26] <bruenig> smo, what does the output look like right now
[02:26] <brunoUT> thanks Gaia ill try it
[02:26] <foug> so i just burned ubuntu onto a cd, i can test it before installing right? just put the disk in and restart?
[02:26] <foug> or is the live CD a different download?
[02:26] <corevette> yes foug....the live cd/install cd are the same
[02:26] <foug> awesome, i love you guys
[02:27] <corevette> foug when you put it in your computer the live cd comes up..and an option to install
[02:27] <smo> i jsut want to list nv module now for exmple nvidia is running so it return the nvidia
[02:27] <smo> bad
[02:27] <Ireclan> H3xis: Because when I try to remove Open Office, Synaptic blathers on about wanting to upgrade packages (~37 MB of upgrades, to be exact!)...
[02:27] <smo> not what i want
[02:27] <h3xis> Ireclan, so upgrade them
[02:27] <Ireclan> H3xis: Dialup.
[02:27] <brunoUT> GaiaX11: says not in gzip format
[02:27] <h3xis> Ireclan, ouch
[02:27] <bruenig> smo, when you do lsmod | grep -e "nv" what is the exact output, and what do you want it to be
[02:27] <smo> nvidia not yet installed when i launch this script normally but nv could be loaded
[02:27] <h3xis> Ireclan, well, did you run the command that i told you?
[02:27] <Ireclan> H3xis: which one?
[02:27] <smo> it return nvidia
[02:28] <smo> and all asoicated modules
[02:28] <h3xis> Ireclan, sudo apt-get --purge remove openoffice.org
[02:28] <bruenig> smo, pastebin the output
[02:28] <GaiaX11> brunoUT: So try it: tar xpvf
[02:28] <Flannel> Ireclan: use apt-get, I believe it won't argue.  Although, you'll have to know all of the pacakges you need to remove
[02:28] <Flannel> h3xis, Ireclan, that'll just remove the metapackage
[02:28] <Yahooadam> sigh
[02:28] <Yahooadam> im getting "Cannot find or run the base session script, will try the GNOME failsafe session for you"
[02:28] <Yahooadam> what should i do ?
[02:28] <brunoUT> GaiaX11: it says this does not look like a tar archive.....the file name ends with .tar
[02:29] <Ireclan> H3xis: Here are the files-
[02:29] <h3xis> Ireclan, if there are a lot use pastebin

[02:29] <bruenig> !hi | Clayton
[02:29] <ubotu> Clayton: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:30] <corevette> hello Clayton
[02:30] <Clayton> hey, I've got an issue with sound using 7.04
[02:30] <xtknight> !feisty
[02:30] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn") should be released in April 2007. Beta is out! http://www.ubuntu.com/news/Ubuntu704Beta Schedule: !schedule - Specifications (goals): https://features.launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/feisty - Help and support in #ubuntu+1 (NOT #ubuntu)
[02:30] <bruenig> Clayton, #ubuntu+1 for feisty support
[02:30] <GaiaX11> brunoUT: man tar
[02:30] <Clayton> ahh
[02:31] <dibblego> how can I easily type non-ASCII characters?
[02:31] <Ireclan> H3xis: "openoffice-core, draw, gnome, gtk, and math". Plus "python-uno".
[02:31] <beg1689> how can i convert the names of like 200 files in one directory to all lowercase?
[02:31] <h3xis> Ireclan, AFAIK, gnome and gtk and python-uno are placeholders and will not be removed
[02:32] <SuperQ> beg1689: rename
[02:32] <Yahooadam> nvm, file was chmodded wrong
[02:32] <SuperQ> beg1689: rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *
[02:32] <SuperQ> beg1689: from the rename man page
[02:32] <beg1689> awesome
[02:32] <Ireclan> h3xis: What is a "placeholder"?
[02:32] <pigsfly> hello, i discovered xunbuntu-desktop after i installed ubuntu, how can i just keep everything minimal that is required for only xunbuntu and not all the unbuntu packges?
[02:32] <smo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/14797/
[02:32] <smo> bruenig
[02:32] <SuperQ> beg1689: yea, rename is nice, takes regexp as filename modifier
[02:33] <beg1689> heh, never even used rename, i use mv to rename stuff
[02:33] <giovanni2121> I'm having trouble following a forums instructions on how to install my audio card, can anyone lend me a hand really quick?
[02:33] <corevette> i can't answer your question, but if you need more help you can try in #xubuntu pigsfly
[02:33] <smo> just search howto cut all before and after the nv in the grep...
[02:33] <atarinox> is Abiword really buggy or something?...I was just working on an article and suddenly everything went bold, but the program isn't recognizing it as bold...
[02:33] <h3xis> Ireclan, i mean dummy packages. i dont know the technicalities behind it and i'm kind of fuzzy on it, but sometimes apt-get says it will remove certain packages when it wont
[02:33] <PriceChild> pigsfly, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexfce
[02:33] <Flannel> pigsfly: when you're removing stuff, as long as whatever you remove doesn't require 'xubuntu-desktop' to be removed, you'll have everything
[02:33] <SuperQ> beg1689: yea, I used to do that too, but rename is much easier to use
[02:33] <beg1689> sweet... worked like a charm
[02:33] <SuperQ> beg1689: it's one of those things that doesn't exist on some commercial UNIXs
[02:33] <pigsfly> thanks!
[02:34] <bruenig> smo, so lines 19-24 is what you are getting when you do lsmod | grep -e "nv", and you are trying to make that output read what exactly

[02:37] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  is ubuntu installed on that computer ?

[02:38] <jhiver> cron trouble, help =)
[02:38] <xyz-abc> cya soon
[02:38] <jhiver> run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
[02:38] <jhiver> /etc/cron.hourly/lcr:
[02:38] <jhiver> run-parts: failed to exec /etc/cron.hourly/lcr: Exec format error
[02:38] <jhiver> any ideas?
[02:38] <bruenig> eternaljoy, are you talking about SGD
[02:38] <Pelo> tbought he said it was a different pc ?
[02:38] <giovanni2121> eternaljoy: what does it mean to load any OS without the need of boot sectors?
[02:38] <h3xis> giovanni2121, so youre saying you downloaded the tar balls, as it states, and youre in the correct dir and it cant find them?
[02:38] <eternaljoy> giovanni2121: its a rescue type DVD that loads OS if something corrupts the MBR
[02:38] <cafuego_> Run it manually and see what it says.
[02:39] <foug> uhm, i'm really bad at life. how do i boot from CD again? don't i press F1 or something when i first start my comp?
[02:39] <giovanni2121> ah
[02:39] <bruenig> eternaljoy, super grub disk
[02:39] <giovanni2121> h3xis

[02:39] <Pelo> foug,  f8 possibly
[02:39] <bruenig> eternaljoy, just google super grub disk
[02:39] <giovanni2121> but i don't know how to change the directory like dos
[02:39] <jhiver> but going a run-parts doens't do it
[02:39] <h3xis> giovanni2121, do this "cd ~" without quotes
[02:39] <smo> if  lsmod $>/dev/null | grep -ew "nv" ; then....
[02:39] <eternaljoy> bruenig: dont think thats it
[02:39] <smo> ?
[02:39] <giovanni2121> sorry i'm new at all of this
[02:39] <h3xis> giovanni2121, then do "cd Desktop"
[02:39] <h3xis> giovanni2121, and that's it
[02:39] <smo> oula
[02:39] <smo> i m tired
[02:39] <atarinox> can somebody recommend a good lightweight word processor? something w/out a lot of bugs or issues
[02:39] <smo> $..
[02:40] <giovanni2121> it says
[02:40] <bruenig> smo, are you trying to get rid of the errors, if so (lsmod 2>/dev/null)
[02:40] <h3xis> atarinox, abiword?
[02:40] <giovanni2121> bash: command not found
[02:40] <Pelo> atarinox,  abiword
[02:40] <giovanni2121> wait
[02:40] <smo> what s the  2 ?
[02:40] <giovanni2121> theres a space
[02:40] <darnell_> err, democracyplayer is so annoying to setup, anyone else know an alternative?
[02:40] <giovanni2121> hold uo
[02:40] <eternaljoy> bruenig: im about to destroy perhaps my MBR and Grub!  In case I do, I need a bootable DVD that will still load Ubuntu and my Windows.  Any ideas?
[02:40] <bruenig> smo, > redirects stdout, 2> redirects stderr
[02:40] <h3xis> giovanni2121, yep
[02:40] <Pelo> atarinox,  koffice if you're running kde
[02:40] <GaiaX11> atarinox: abiword
[02:40] <smo> ok
[02:40] <smo> thx a lot
[02:40] <bruenig> eternaljoy, well SGD is the only thing that I have heard of that comes close to what you are talking about
[02:41] <foug> ok i'm at the ubuntu screen and don't see an option for a live test
[02:41] <bdina> i am looking for some help with the networkmanager applet
[02:41] <foug> where's it at?
[02:41] <giovanni2121> okay
[02:41] <giovanni2121> so now i just keep following the instructions
[02:41] <h3xis> foug, hit enter and it will boot into it
[02:41] <giovanni2121> i should do the next 3 lines
[02:41] <giovanni2121> then do it all over agian for the next 2 files?
[02:41] <h3xis> giovanni2121, yes
[02:41] <comosicus> what is ps aux...or ...top?
[02:41] <giovanni2121> is that right?
[02:41] <foug> enter anywhere?
[02:41] <h3xis> giovanni2121, wait let me see
[02:41] <comosicus> stupid me
[02:41] <Heniez> hai
[02:41] <Pelo> foug,  live cd doesn'T include  abiword,  it uses  Openoffice.org
[02:41] <Heniez> ./] [d
[02:41] <foug> huh
[02:41] <foug> lol
[02:41] <h3xis> giovanni2121, yes
[02:41] <bdina> does anyone have experience with networkmanager?
[02:41] <giovanni2121> h3xis: thanks so much
[02:41] <trevbork> Anyone have any idea how much different feisty is going to be when released on the 19th as opposed to the current version up for download now?
[02:41] <Pelo> foug,  if you just need to make a few notes use  gedit ,  like notepad for gnome
[02:41] <h3xis> giovanni2121, do that with each one. make sure you have the headers installed though
[02:42] <smo> grep: nv: Aucun fichier ou rpertoire de ce type
[02:42] <smo> still there
[02:42] <bruenig> !feisty | trevbork
[02:42] <ubotu> trevbork: The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn") should be released in April 2007.

[02:42] <giovanni2121> wait h3xis another problem came up
[02:42] <giovanni2121> it says
[02:42] <Flannel> trevbork: it'll be different in bugfixes and stuff only.  Versions won't change much
[02:42] <smo>  if  lsmod 2or&>/dev/null | grep -ew "nv" ; then
[02:42] <smo> same thing
[02:42] <GaiaX11> atarinox: are you?
[02:42] <giovanni2121> sudo:./configure command not found
[02:42] <bruenig> smo, no lsmod 2>/dev/null | grep -ew "nv"
[02:42] <Pelo> atarinox, what are you trying to acheive ?
[02:43] <giovanni2121> sudo:  ./configure:  command not found
[02:43] <h3xis> giovanni2121, you need to change into the directory
[02:43] <smo> yeah i tried the 2 first
[02:43] <smo> then the &
[02:43] <h3xis> giovanni2121, the poster left that out
[02:43] <smo> and same thing
[02:43] <bruenig> giovanni2121, you should not be sudoing ./configure
[02:43] <Pelo> foug,  sorry I got you confused with someone else ,  what was your issue again ?
[02:43] <bruenig> smo, I don't know what the problem is
[02:43] <ber1> i have reinstalled frostwire and sun java several times, and sudo dpkg-configure bash to the No setting, and still my frostwire will open and then close a few seconds later. what gives? (edgy 6.10) how can i make frostwire work and stop closing? does anyone else have this problem?
[02:44] <eternaljoy> bruenig: where can I get latest super grub?
[02:44] <bruenig> frostwire does that
[02:44] <xtknight> ber1, i've heard of the problem before
[02:44] <giovanni2121> im confused
[02:44] <giovanni2121> sorry
[02:44] <eternaljoy> bruenig: http://supergrub.forjamari.linex.org/ ?
[02:44] <giovanni2121> i need to change to what directory
[02:44] <atarinox> GaiaX11, Pelo : It suddenly changed my font from Times New Roman to something else, now Times doesnt even show up in my font list as an option....
[02:44] <bruenig> eternaljoy, google I guess. I used it once and it failed me so I didn't really pay much attention
[02:44] <h3xis> giovanni2121, okay, you ran the first command right?
[02:44] <sid> Can I switch from Russian language to English easily? ie hit a button to go back to english, and another to go to Russian?
[02:44] <Pelo> ber1,  use sun-java-1.6 jre and the latest frorstwire from their site
[02:44] <giovanni2121> yeah
[02:44] <sid> Or do I have to setup separate users.
[02:44] <ber1> how can i make frostwire....... not do that? haha
[02:44] <ber1> 1.6? is that the latest stable build, pelo?
[02:44] <h3xis> giovanni2121, you should have a directory named alsa-driver or something, right?
[02:44] <arooni> how can i get the path of where specific apps are run from
[02:45] <giovanni2121> like on the desktop?
[02:45] <arooni> 'where' doesnt work
[02:45] <GaiaX11> ber1: You have to configure java option
[02:45] <eternaljoy> bruenig: i found an ISo that contains gparted, sysresc and SGD
[02:45] <xtknight> arooni, which or whereis
[02:45] <h3xis> giovanni2121, yes
[02:45] <giovanni2121> yeah i do
[02:45] <bruenig> arooni, which name
[02:45] <bruenig> eternaljoy, goodie
[02:45] <Pelo> ber1,  I beleive so
[02:45] <h3xis> giovanni2121, okay, before you do anything, do you have the kernel headers installed?
[02:45] <ber1> gaiax11, lets pretend hypothetically that i had no idea how to do that (i do of course... i am leet, yo). what would i do?
[02:45] <xyz-abc> pelo, i got this error "i/o error on device hda"
[02:45] <giovanni2121> i dont know what that means so im guessing no
[02:45] <xyz-abc> and it also went to mention which block was screwed up
[02:45] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  when do you get this error ?
[02:45] <xyz-abc> while booting up live linux
[02:45] <h3xis> giovanni2121, okay, run this: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[02:46] <eternaljoy> bruenig: thats great then for if MBR and bootsectors, Grub etc gets corrupted, I can still load Ubuntu or MS Windows!
[02:46] <xyz-abc> the hdd might have bad sectors
[02:46] <GaiaX11> atarinox: So it is font issue and not word processor
[02:46] <xyz-abc> i just dont know how to repair it
[02:46] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  could you be a little more specific,  do you get as far as the boot menu ? as far as the live cd desktop ?
[02:46] <xyz-abc> i can't reformat it
[02:46] <eternaljoy> bruenig: until I can find a perm solution.
[02:46] <xyz-abc> well i booted into live linux
[02:46] <bruenig> you can always boot into live cd and fix grub
[02:46] <giovanni2121> it says its already the newest installed
[02:47] <xyz-abc> but while booting it said "i/o error on device hda... block 56456 .. screwed up"
[02:47] <eternaljoy> bruenig: but would that also see my Windows partition and include that in the restore of grub?
[02:47] <giovanni2121> its the -14 versio
[02:47] <giovanni2121> n
[02:47] <atarinox> GaiaX11: maybe...but abiword was the word processor i was using when everything suddenly changed
[02:47] <h3xis> giovanni2121, alright youre good on that part then. okay, back to the original problem. you said you had a directory named alsa-driver on your desktop?
[02:47] <giovanni2121> yeah
[02:47] <giovanni2121> so do i do
[02:47] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  ok ,   in the desktop menu > system > admin > gnome partition editor
[02:47] <giovanni2121> cd desktop/alsa-driver
[02:47] <giovanni2121> ?
[02:47] <bruenig> eternaljoy, you could probably, you may have to manually edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:47] <eternaljoy> bruenig: I have a bootable ubuntu USB Stick version.  When I load that, how would I restore grub to my HDD from that?
[02:47] <h3x0r_> Hey i just installed NVIDIA graphics drivers and on start up the Nvidia Logo flashes to fast any ideas on how i can prolong its duration ?
[02:47] <h3xis> giovanni2121, are you in your desktop's directory now?
[02:47] <giovanni2121> yeah
[02:47] <xyz-abc> ok
[02:47] <bruenig> !grub | eternaljoy first link pretty much goes over stuff like that
[02:47] <ubotu> eternaljoy first link pretty much goes over stuff like that: 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
[02:47] <h3xis> giovanni2121, then you just do cd alsa-driver*
[02:48] <giovanni2121> should i type: cd desktop/alsa-driver
[02:48] <eternaljoy> bruenig: but doesnt it look for my existing menu.lust and use that?
[02:48] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  use my nick when replying to me, it makes it easier for me to follow
[02:48] <xyz-abc> k
[02:48] <Pelo> xyz-abc, ...
[02:48] <h3xis> giovanni2121, nope. youre already in your desktop. so you do cd alsa-driver*
[02:48] <xyz-abc> pelo: i can't find the gnome partition editor where u specified it
[02:48] <giovanni2121> k im in it
[02:48] <bruenig> eternaljoy, don't think so, either way you can edit your existing menu.lst from live cd
[02:48] <h3xis> giovanni2121, now run that second command
[02:48] <xyz-abc> pelo: should i just go to "install"?
[02:49] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  no
[02:49] <eternaljoy> bruenig: what? which one?
[02:49] <eternaljoy> bruenig: it doesnt need editing
[02:49] <GaiaX11> ber1: sudo update-alternatives --config java
[02:49] <giovanni2121> it said this
[02:49] <giovanni2121> checking for gcc... gcc
[02:49] <eternaljoy> bruenig: my current menu.list is pefect! why edit it?
[02:49] <giovanni2121> checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[02:49] <giovanni2121> See `config.log' for more details.
[02:49] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  the menu at the top ,  there it says  applicatsions, places, system ,  system > admin> gnome partition manager or editor , or something
[02:49] <GaiaX11> ber1: Choose the java that you installed from sun
[02:50] <bruenig> eternaljoy, I was saying that if you wanted to, you could from live cd therefore making live cd restore of grub possible and good
[02:50] <mjr> giovanni2121, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:50] <eternaljoy> bruenig: if I resintall Grub from a liveCD, what menu.list will the new Grub look for?
[02:50] <h3xis> giovanni2121, see what mjr said
[02:50] <bruenig> eternaljoy, it won't
[02:50] <eternaljoy> bruenig: so Grub wont load anyhing?
[02:50] <xyz-abc> pelo: it's not there
[02:50] <bruenig> eternaljoy, grub writes its own menu.lst when you do sudo update-grub
[02:50] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  that is very odd,
[02:50] <eternaljoy> bruenig: if the new grub wont load any menu.list, what good is it?
[02:51] <Pelo> xyr,  ok move to install
[02:51] <eternaljoy> bruenig: where wll it write it to?
[02:51] <giovanni2121> k its installing
[02:51] <xyz-abc> pelo: k
[02:51] <giovanni2121> then when its done i run it again?
[02:51] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  do the install
[02:51] <h3xis> giovanni2121, yes
[02:51] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  when you get to selecting yoru partition,  select the options that lets you edit partitions manualy
[02:51] <eternaljoy> bruenig: you say if I type:  sudo update-grub, it creates a new menu.list!  But wheere does it save it?  it cant save it to the LIVECD
[02:51] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  are you installing ubuntu or kubuntu ?
[02:52] <eternaljoy> bruenig: where exacrtly is the new menu.list saved?  so then I can go there and reaplce it with my orginal menu.list
[02:52] <Flannel> eternaljoy: it does
[02:52] <eternaljoy> Flannel: it does what?
[02:52] <Flannel> eternaljoy: It's saved in the liveCDs filesystem, which exists in memory, like the rest of the liveCD
[02:53] <wiseelben> you need to mount your root system from the LiveCD first
[02:53] <eternaljoy> Flannel: but whe I take out the livecd and want to boot my ubuntu from HDD, wha menu.list will Grub look for?
[02:53] <xyz-abc> pelo: ubuntu
[02:53] <Flannel> eternaljoy: the one on your harddrive
[02:53] <giovanni2121> okay its running alot of lines of code so I'm guessing thats a good sign
[02:53] <giovanni2121> ill do it to the other 3 files and see what happens
[02:53] <eternaljoy> Flannel: how does it know where to look?
[02:53] <h3xis> giovanni2121, make sure youre in their directory, too
[02:53] <Pelo> xyz-abc, ok just checking ,  proceed with install and let me know when you get to the partition selection stuff
[02:53] <xyz-abc> ok
[02:53] <giovanni2121> thanks so much hh3xis and mjr
[02:53] <h3xis> giovanni2121, basically youre just looking for errors
[02:53] <giovanni2121> okay
[02:53] <Flannel> eternaljoy: because the first stage of grub (located in your MBR) knows where to look for /boot
[02:53] <giovanni2121> will do
[02:54] <Flannel> eternaljoy: the first stage (in MBR) knows where the second stage (in /boot) is located
[02:54] <eternaljoy> Flannel: so if I corrupt my Grub now, I load Livevd and type:  sudo update-grub. and then reboot withnout liveCD and it should boot my HDD ubuntu again?
[02:54] <adsims2001> I'm currently using the default driver for wireless networks in Ubuntu 6.10, but it is causing frequent and random crashes in all network applications. I want to try another driver and possibly NDISwrapper, but I want to backup the current driver first. Is that possible? I haven't changed the driver since installing Ubuntu.
[02:54] <ber1> alright i don't really understand this, but i ran sudo update-alternatives --config java and chose the one i already had which was sun java, then ran frostwire and it failed (same problem). so i changed it to the other option, and frostwire refused to even open at all, so i changed it back (to what i had originally) and now... it works... for no reason at all.... wth?
[02:54] <Flannel> eternaljoy: no.  Because it'll be corrupted.  You need to reinstall grub to the MBR to get an uncorrupted version
[02:54] <ber1> but thanks for the help anyways everyone
[02:54] <eternaljoy> Flannel: and how do I do that?
[02:54] <Flannel> eternaljoy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#head-bf3232f10ddf1b078de064622ccbb25225cdb3c0
[02:55] <Pelo> ber1,  how did you install frostwire,  deb or source ?
[02:55] <ber1> .deb, pelo
[02:55] <WaxyFresh> whats the command to see what release your running?
[02:55] <Flannel> WaxyFresh: lsb_release -a
[02:55] <Pelo> ber1,   go into synaptic,  remove java , remove frostwire we'll start from scratch
[02:56] <GaiaX11> adsims2001: Do you have the your_card.inf   ?
[02:56] <eternaljoy> bruenig: why d you always accuse people of bneing a troll when they have struggles to understand?
[02:56] <adsims2001> Yeah, I have all the Windows drivers for the card.
[02:56] <ber1> no pelo, its working now. thats what i said before - it works for no real reason at all, haha.
[02:56] <adsims2001> I might try the opensource RTL8180 driver though.
[02:56] <eternaljoy> bruenig: im very dissappointed you accuse me of trolling just cause I was struggling to understand :(
[02:56] <Pelo> ber1,  oh,  good then,  don't mess with it anymore
[02:56] <ber1> i changed the java version to... what i already had, and it now works pelo. thanks though.
[02:56] <GaiaX11> adsims2001: So you do not need to backup anything then
[02:56] <smo> all right bruenig
[02:56] <adsims2001> It's not running NDISwrapper right now
[02:57] <Pelo> ber1,  :-)
[02:57] <bruenig> eternaljoy, it looked like you were trolling because you asked the same question after I answered it, and then I answered it again in a different way, and then you asked again and I thought you were just winding me up
[02:57] <adsims2001> I'm using whatever comes with Ubuntu.
[02:57] <GaiaX11> adsims2001: install it then
[02:57] <adsims2001> Will there be a way to recover the default Ubuntu driver if I do?
[02:57] <giovanni2121> i have a general question, if I'm using ubuntu 7.04 beta right now
[02:57] <giovanni2121> when the release comes out next weds
[02:57] <giovanni2121> will they just send out updates to update the beta to the release
[02:57] <eternaljoy> bruenig: i dont troll here ever!  I respect everyone times too much!  but pls empahise, some ppl struggle to understand more than others.  pls dont accuse ppl faselely. ty
[02:57] <Flannel> giovanni2121: you just do a normal package update
[02:57] <giovanni2121> or will i need to reinstall
[02:57] <xyz-abc> pelo: "the creation of swap space in partition #5 of IDE1 master (hda) failed"
[02:57] <rockzman> bruenig can i paste you an error that i get installing mysql binary from mysql.com?
[02:57] <sid> giovanni2121: You might need to reinstall.
[02:58] <giovanni2121> moh
[02:58] <GaiaX11> adsims2001: Do this: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper wireless-tools
[02:58] <bruenig> rockzman, I am not a mysql person
[02:58] <giovanni2121> relly?
[02:58] <giovanni2121> really?*
[02:58] <bruenig> oh for installing ok, I guess, but probably should pastebin it
[02:58] <bruenig> !paste
[02:58] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:58] <sid> giovanni2121: probably not, but it's a possibility.
[02:58] <rockzman> bruenig its not a mysql error :P
[02:58] <giovanni2121> k
[02:58] <giovanni2121> thanks
[02:58] <eternaljoy> bruenig: all I wanted to understand was how can I restore Grub and have it use my old menu.list which has an enrrty to load my MS windows too.
[02:58] <adsims2001> alright, i'll try that when i reboot into ubuntu (im in windows right now, since I'm not sure if the wlan driver would hold up for IRC)
[02:58] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  tha'T probably because  linux swap needs to be mounted in a  extended partition , not a primary one
[02:58] <GaiaX11> adsims2001: Then: sudo ndiswrapper -i rt8180.inf
[02:58] <eternaljoy> bruenig: and I still dont know how
[02:58] <xyz-abc> oh wait
[02:59] <bruenig> !grub | eternaljoy the first link should do it
[02:59] <ubotu> eternaljoy the first link should do it: 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
[02:59] <xyz-abc> pelo: i shoulda gone to manual configuration?
[02:59] <eternaljoy> bruenig: ok ty.
[02:59] <eternaljoy> brb
[02:59] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  that was the plan
[02:59] <xyz-abc> pelo: i have terrible memory, lemme try again :D
[02:59] <GaiaX11> adsims2001: you have to issue that command in the folder were the .inf file is
[02:59] <giovanni2121> hey h3xis i ran into a problem with the alsa-utils file
[02:59] <giovanni2121> it says this when i run that long confugre code line
[02:59] <h3xis> giovanni2121, what
[02:59] <giovanni2121> configure: error: this packages requires a curses library
[02:59] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  sharpen your memory fast,  I hate repeating myself
[02:59] <davfigue> Hello everybody
[02:59] <GaiaX11> adsims2001: then: ndiswrapper -l
[03:00] <h3xis> giovanni2121, do sudo apt-get install libncurses5 libncurses5-dev
[03:00] <adsims2001> OK. If all is well I should be able to be back on the channel shortly...
[03:00] <eternaljoy> bruenig: that link is inteesting!  so my question is.  Can I copy menu.list to my Windows partition and tell Grub to load it from there!  this way I can totally remove Ubuntu partition.    I dont need it because I now run Ubuntu from USB stick
[03:00] <GaiaX11> adsims2001: Then:
[03:01] <eternaljoy> bruenig: would that work?  or does menu.list have to be on ext3 ubuntu partition?
[03:01] <bruenig> eternaljoy, no you can't
[03:01] <eternaljoy> bruenig: why not?
[03:01] <bruenig> won't work
[03:01] <giovanni2121> ahh thanks
[03:01] <giovanni2121> how do you know all of this, have you just been using it for long enough to know most problems
[03:01] <GaiaX11> adsims2001: Then go to /etc/modules and write ndiswrapper in the last line and save it
[03:01] <giovanni2121> ?
[03:01] <giovanni2121> or do you help to code
[03:01] <giovanni2121> ?
[03:01] <eternaljoy> bruenig: is there a way of getting Grub to load my MS woindows if there are not ext3 ubuntu partitions on my HDD?
[03:01] <macographer> from the command line, how do i change the path for a program?
[03:01] <h3xis> giovanni2121, been using linux since redhat 7.2. i run debian lenny now
[03:01] <bruenig> eternaljoy, no, it won't know where to find it
[03:02] <xyz-abc> pelo: i'm in the 'prepare partitions' stage and it has by default: "dev/hda"
[03:02] <Pelo> macographer, http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[03:02] <eternaljoy> bruenig: why cant I point it to it using those command on that webpage you gave me?

[03:03] <etzerd> I have a hard time install kubuntu on the 7.04
[03:03] <eternaljoy> bruenig: if I type find /boot/grub/stage1, wont it find it if I copy that whole folder over to my MS windows partition?
[03:03] <bruenig> eternaljoy, it won't work, you can try if you want. I have tired, a little worn down, sorry. I am trying to learn some more sed now, I just kind of keep this open to check in occasionally
[03:03] <eternaljoy> bruenig: ok ty for your time.
[03:03] <etzerd> Hi Pelo
[03:03] <etzerd> Hi ubotu
[03:03] <xyz-abc> pelo: it doesnt say the name, i think i'd better go and grab some real partioning app from synaptic

[03:03] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  wait
[03:03] <rockzman> how do i fix that bruenig
[03:04] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  are you in a app with gparted as the first menu entry ?
[03:04] <etzerd> Pelo, are you tried the beta version yet?
[03:04] <Dreamglider> help im in ubuntu and need to delete a file in windows im at the programm/usblock directory but i cant delete the file
[03:04] <bruenig> rockzman, prefix it with "sudo"

[03:04] <etzerd> Thanks
[03:05] <rockzman> bruenig how can root run the mysql
[03:05] <Dreamglider> regin@laptop:/media/sda1/Program Files/USB System Lock$ sudo rename USBSystemLock.exe USBSystemLockxx.exe
[03:05] <Pelo> Dreamglider,  ubuntu doesn'T write to ntfs drive out of the box,   you are better off rebooting in windows and deleting it in there
[03:05] <Ginja_Ninja> hello. I am running a multiseat setup and for some reson my up arrow on my keyboard launches ksnapshot. Why would that be happening?
[03:05] <h3xis> Pelo, doesnt ubuntu come with ntfs-3g?
[03:05] <bruenig> rockzman, it is saying that it is trying to write to files that need root access to write to them, therefore sudo is my answer, now I am not a mysql person but that is what the error looks like it is complaining about
[03:05] <SeveredCross> Uh, adding NTFS write support isn't very hard.
[03:05] <noelferreira> bruenig: i got an error with avimerge AVI read video frame: avilib - Error reading from AVI file-> 798360.00)
[03:05] <Dreamglider> i know but i have done if before (With help from this chan)
[03:06] <SeveredCross> Make sure you enable multiverse and universe in Synaptic
[03:06] <Pelo> h3xis,  you need to install it
[03:06] <SeveredCross> Then refresh your list.
[03:06] <SeveredCross> Then install ntfs-3g
[03:06] <Flannel> h3xis: ntfs-3g is in Feisty.  But it wasnt stable when anything else was released
[03:06] <Pelo> !ntfs | h3xis
[03:06] <ubotu> h3xis: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse

[03:07] <smo> was after the  |  pipe for me...
[03:07] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  go back further and select manualy edit partitions
[03:07] <SeveredCross> You can probably pipe them actually.

[03:09] <Ginja_Ninja> oh
[03:09] <Ginja_Ninja> right
[03:09] <Pelo> Ginja_Ninja,  you have to move your files to the new drive

[03:11] <Ginja_Ninja> Pelo: Thanks for your help. Thats brilliant
[03:11] <SeveredCross> noelferreira: Read: http://www.arsgeek.com/?p=435

[03:11] <Dreamglider> after installing ntfs-3g how can i remove a file in windows ?
[03:11] <SeveredCross> h00t: Change ntfs to ntfs-3g and change ro to rw
[03:11] <xyz-abc> pelo: i dont get what u mean
[03:12] <bimberi> SeveredCross: k, just looking at the file names in the question
[03:12] <macographer> ok, the question i want to ask is, how do i add a directory to $PATH?
[03:12] <h3x0r_> Any ideas on how i can make the nvidia start up logo last up longer  its only showing for about 0.3 Seconds
[03:12] <SeveredCross> h00t: After you change that and save /etc/fstab, do sudo umount -a and then sudo mount -a
[03:12] <h00t> Seveas, i just want to view ... i still can't even view
[03:12] <giovanni2121> h3xis: it says to restart and then type another line of code, i have a chapter meeting right now but ill be back on around 7 to do that because im transferring some files right now so i'll be able to tell you then
[03:12] <giovanni2121> thanks
[03:12] <Pelo> Ginja_Ninja,  you might want to use the live cd to move your files,  otherwise I don'T think you could access the files again on your original /home folder once you've mounted the new hdd to that location
[03:12] <h3xis> giovanni2121, k
[03:12] <h00t> SeveredCross, , i just want to view ... i still can't even view
[03:12] <SeveredCross> h00t: Is it mounted? Are there errors from sudo mount?
[03:13] <h3xis> h3x0r_, why would you want it to start up longer? i think there's a configuration file or something that may be able to extend the length of time but i'm not sure
[03:13] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  ok , you are in gparted,   to the right of the tool bar there is a drop down list with the available hdd on it,  pick the correct one to install ubuntu on,   list the current partitions on it in for me
[03:13] <giovanni2121> h3xis: it says to use alsamixer
[03:13] <h00t> SeveredCross, it's mounted but i can't see it as "h00t" only as "root" ... gid & uid are correct .. copied from "id" output ...
[03:13] <giovanni2121> but how do i find/run that program?
[03:13] <giovanni2121> or do i need to dl it?
[03:13] <h3xis> giovanni2121, it's part of alsa-utils
[03:13] <tbuss> does anyone know what would cause a external hdd mounted w/ntfs-3g not to be able to share files through samba
[03:14] <h3xis> giovanni2121, to get to it run alsamixer in terminal
[03:14] <giovanni2121> still confused sorry
[03:14] <aubade_> giovanni2121: alsamixer? Ships with Ubuntu, just run it in the terminal.
[03:14] <giovanni2121> okay
[03:14] <h3xis> giovanni2121, what all have you done?
[03:14] <giovanni2121> so just type it by itself and itll be good to go?
[03:14] <noelferreira> bimberi: it won't stop and all i see is strange caracters in my window. is that normal?
[03:14] <giovanni2121> ive done the 4 lines now i have to reboot
[03:14] <h3xis> giovanni2121, okay
[03:14] <giovanni2121> and then type
[03:14] <Rya1> macographer --- just add a directory into whichever folder you have set as the $PATH folder
[03:14] <giovanni2121> cat /proc/asound/version
[03:14] <giovanni2121> to see if i did it correctly
[03:14] <netrat> I'm having the problem described in Bug #58884, https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/58884, in which the keyboard will randomly fail most of the time being with laptops. In the bug report the solution is to add the option "notsc" to the kernel. When I add this option to /boot/grub/menu.lst my laptop fails to bootup. I'm using the 2.6.17-11-generic kernel, the bug report uses the 2.6.17-10-generic kernel in the example. Any ideas?
[03:15] <xyz-abc> pelo: i have only 1 hdd and it tells me that i have 233 gb's of unpartitioned space (the remaining 17 gb are gone?). However, when I try to install windows it tells me i have a total of 5 partitions
[03:15] <giovanni2121> then ill type the alsamixer and see if it works
[03:15] <giovanni2121> also if you're still on around 7
[03:15] <h3xis> giovanni2121, alright
[03:15] <Pelo>
[03:15] <h3xis> giovanni2121, what time is it where you are now?
[03:15] <giovanni2121> can you help me with writing code in grub to pick an os to boot upon startup?
[03:15] <macographer> Rya1: what's the default for DD?
[03:15] <h3xis> giovanni2121, yes

[03:15] <nikin> is there any program in ubuntu that can generate CRC32 for larger files than 2G?

[03:15] <Pelo> xyz-abc,  take a screenshot and put it in the pastebin
[03:15] <macographer> cause i'm pretty sure i didn't do anything unusual.
[03:15] <Pelo> !pastebin | xyz-abc
[03:15] <ubotu> xyz-abc: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[03:16] <macographer> or, i could create a symbolic link..
[03:16] <Cosmo_> ok this is odd, my mom just rebooted her laptop which I installed ubuntu on and now when we put the user name and password in the screen flashes like it is going to boot on in then it askes for the user name and password again
[03:16] <Rya1> yeah try that
[03:16] <Pelo> Cosmo_,  caplocks ?
[03:17] <macographer> the weird thing is, when i type which svn, i get the correct path, but when i type svn, it's still looking for it in the old location.
[03:17] <Cosmo_> nope made sure that was off, let me double check
