[05:20] <ubot3> waylan: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:20] <JKirk_> so to do it in ubuntu, you have to hit ctrl-alt-f1 and then log in... then you have to do ps -aux and find the gdm services and do a kill
[05:20] <kidbuntu> anyone here who knows how to trace a java file?
[05:20] <nalioth> Purcupt_: there is no root password
[05:20] <JKirk_> then you can install the manual driver
[05:20] <nalioth> !tell Purcupt_ about root
[05:21] <waylan> thanks for the link
[05:21] <Injen> kidbuntu: trace, having a meaning similar to find?
[05:21] <waylan> anyone know about intel graphics on here
[05:21] <waylan> ???
[05:21] <MasterShrek> JKirk_, yes but you can just run /etc/init.d/gdm stop to stop your gdm

[05:22] <ubot3> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[05:22] <kidbuntu> Injen: I don't know. I downloaded an opensource framework. I'm using eclipse and i wanted to trace which java file is the one making the particular program work

[05:22] <ca1> running aplay -l I get an error of no sound card detected but my sound card is listed with sudo aplay -l and I am unable to hear anything while I can hear and play music for instance through sudo rhythmbox. Can anyone plleasse help me??
[05:22] <DDragon> kidbuntu: so you want to locate the file on you computer?
[05:23] <osxdude|laptop> i was right
[05:23] <kidbuntu> DDragon: yes!.
[05:23] <waylan> thanks
[05:23] <saul_> ola!
[05:23] <thoreauputic> cal check if you are in the audio group
[05:23] <JKirk_> is there a good place to get more themes for ubuntu?
[05:23] <Injen> err, kidbuntu, I don't know how to help you.
[05:23] <Pelo> !theme | JKirk_
[05:23] <ubot3> JKirk_: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://art.gnome.org - http://www.kde-look.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[05:23] <ca1> thoreauputic:  I am in the audio group, I checked that already.
[05:24] <JKirk_> thanks
[05:24] <JKirk_> how come no one seems to know about ubuntu ultimate edition?
[05:24] <JKirk_> it rocks!
[05:24] <kidbuntu> DDragon: not exactly locate. with the program running will i be able to find which java file is the one making the program work
[05:24] <JKirk_> has compiz fusion built-in and lots of software...
[05:24] <coopster> kidbuntu, try running ps -Af |grep java
[05:24] <Pelo> JKirk_,  ubuntu ultimate edition is not an official ubuntu release, it is someone's idea of a bad joke,  it is realy pointless
[05:25] <kidbuntu> coopster: running that in where?\
[05:25] <JKirk_> bad joke?  howso?  I'm using it now and it's wonderful
[05:25] <kidbuntu> coopster: terminal?
[05:25] <coopster> kidbuntu, yep
[05:25] <JKirk_> based on the official ubuntu and has lots of extras
[05:25] <Flannel> JKirk_: compiz-fusion is easy enough to add.  As is all the software included.  And you don't get stuck with no-support and automatix.
[05:25] <GoKillPeople> Is there a way I can get my display to go to 1440 X 900 instead of the presets?
[05:25] <Micawber> Thanks for the help..
[05:25] <hubuntu_______> no booting live cd from lilo help here? anyone? just the command for the ubuntu live cd from lilo....
[05:25] <kidbuntu> coopster: whats with that command?
[05:25] <JKirk_> not using automatix
[05:25] <kyncani> JKirk_: what kind of extras ?
[05:25] <Pelo> JKirk_,  it's just ubuntu repackages with a different theme and a butload of default progs you donT' know that you want anyway and that you can get easily enought using the repos system in ubuntu
[05:26] <nalioth> !tell GoKillPeople about xcfg
[05:26] <JKirk_> when I load ubuntu official ,the menu is practially blank...
[05:26] <JKirk_> ultimate has a ton of audio video and some games
[05:26] <waylan> i'm having trouble with figuring out the graphics...i tried the edit in terminal...but there is no list to add to..
[05:26] <GoKillPeople> ah
[05:26] <GoKillPeople> thanks =)
[05:26] <waylan> i'm a n00b be gentle
[05:26] <waylan> lol
[05:26] <coopster> kidbuntu, 'ps -Af' will list all of the running processes including the command line, and adding '| grep java' will display only lines with java in them
[05:27] <Pelo> waylan,  you typed it wrong  it's   X one one , not X L L
[05:27] <Pelo> waylan,  and linux is case sensitive,   so   gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:27] <JKirk_> is there a mac osx looking theme out there for ubunut?
[05:27] <waylan> that's what i put
[05:27] <ca1> I'm having trouble with sound on my computer my user is unable to hear any sound. But sudo can. I already checked groups. and aplay -l doesn't see a sound card though sudo aplay -l does
[05:27] <ca1> help please.
[05:27] <GoKillPeople> /exit Bye!!
[05:27] <Pelo> JKirk_, several , look in the links you were given
[05:28] <GoKillPeople> lol
[05:28] <GoKillPeople> exit isn't it..
[05:28] <kyncani> JKirk_: well, i'm using kde and there are many programs in the menus
[05:28] <lockd> JKirk_: official Ubuntu packages are available for most of those
[05:29] <lockd> btw, is there a way to separate automatix from official, like prefixing or something?
[05:29] <kidbuntu> coopster: hows that helps me to find which file or files?. or just by reading a particular source code
[05:29] <lockd> say, like a /usr/automatix (if that's legal to do with the filesystem)
[05:29] <waylan> it shows the resolutions i need, but what i have right now is sooo blurry
[05:29] <waylan> i don't get it
[05:29] <nalioth> lockd: you should stay away from automatix.  if you've installed it, you're screwed.
[05:30] <Bogus8> so ubuntu has compiz installed by default (once it's enabled).. correct?
[05:30] <lockd> nalioth: why so? I haven't, but would like to know
[05:30] <JKirk_> lockd, I'm not saying the packages aren't out there...just saying it's nice and convenient not to have to load anything myself... :)
[05:30] <Flannel> JKirk_: except you're pre-loading a broken system
[05:30] <thoreauputic> !automatix
[05:30] <ubot3> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[05:30] <nalioth> lockd: all the functionality of automatix is built into feisty, there is no need to use it
[05:30] <Pelo> Bogus8,  more or less   from more info ask in #ubuntu-effects
[05:30] <Bogus8> it's fully blown right?  I've never used it before but is one reason I installed on this laptop
[05:30] <waylan> maybe i need to add 32 after 24????
[05:30] <JKirk_> broken? howso?
[05:30] <waylan> bits?
[05:30] <Bogus8> Pelo: umm, ok
[05:31] <kyncani> JKirk_: there was a post about automatix in ubuntuplanet some days ago, also made it to slashdot i think
[05:32] <kyncani> JKirk_: like very, very broken
[05:32] <Pelo> waylan, in helps if you state the name of the person you are talking to in each line and please stop using the enter key for punctutation , this is a busy channel ,   please uplaod your xorg.conf file to the pastebin so we can have a look

[05:32] <Juno> how do I kill X after ubuntu has all ready booted?
[05:32] <ca1> I'm having trouble with sound on my computer my user is unable to hear any sound. But sudo can. I already checked groups. and aplay -l doesn't see a sound card though sudo aplay -l does
[05:32] <ca1> help
[05:32] <sethk> Juno, control-alt-backspace is one way
[05:33] <JKirk_> why does everyone keep talking about automatix...I'm not using that
[05:33] <sethk> Juno, although that will put you back to the login screen, not stop X entirely.
[05:33] <Juno> that will kill X and get me to the prompt?
[05:33] <rissy> ca1, add yourself to the audio group
[05:33] <Flannel> JKirk_: UUE has automatix in it already.
[05:33] <JKirk_> sethik: no...ctrl-alt-back doesn't work...the gdm just reloads
[05:33] <killown|away> how do i to get recursive directory "wget -r *.bz2 files!"?
[05:33] <Lunis> Juno, it will kill X and restart it
[05:33] <sethk> Juno, control-alt-f1 will give you a non-gui login
[05:33] <Pelo> ca1,  menu > system > admin > users, select the user open theproperties and see that he has access
[05:33] <Juno> I need to stop X completely to install the NVIDIA driver
[05:33] <Flannel> JKirk_: and it does plenty of things non-correctly.
[05:33] <JKirk_> Flannel, has it but I don't use it
[05:33] <JKirk_> can you specifiy?
[05:33] <Pelo> Juno,  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[05:33] <sethk> killown|away, it doesn't reload, because it never stopped running.  As I noted ...
[05:33] <thoreauputic> Juno:   sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[05:33] <Sithe> Hey can someone here help me with Beryl?
[05:34] <riyonuk> I got a software update notification, if I click install updates, will it upgrade to 7.04? Cause theres a button for that too
[05:34] <nalioth> Sithe: join #ubuntu-effects for beryl
[05:34] <JKirk_> I just installed and if it's gonna be a problem, I'd like to reinstall a basic ubuntu before I get to settled in...
[05:34] <Pelo> Sithe,  the ppl in #beryl can
[05:34] <Sithe> Ahh okay
[05:35] <Sithe> How can I get to #beryl?
[05:35] <Sithe> Sorry Im new to IRC
[05:35] <coopster> kidbuntu, well, I had thought you wanted to identify the file that a java program used?  Usually, java programs are run by executing 'java <some_file.jar>' at some point or another, so looking at 'ps -Af' would reveal that jar file
[05:35] <Pelo> Sithe,   type /join #beryl
[05:35] <Sithe> Ty
[05:35] <Rowan> oh i know the problem, sorry gotta rejoin one more time
[05:36] <Lunis> Is there a way to either force an unmount, or tell what is accessing a mount that's keeping it from unmounting?
[05:36] <royel> Hey, I'm looking to setup a PDC with roaming profiles, clients will be both linux and win(xp), I'm confused about whether to use NFS or Samba, I've read something about samba not liking roaming profiles, perhaps someone could confirm this or knows of a good tutorial on this exact thing?
[05:36] <kyncani> Lunis: use lsof
[05:36] <sethk> Lunis, lsof will list open files, and you can search the output for the mount point
[05:36] <thoreauputic> Lunis:  try   lsof | grep <mountpoint>
[05:36] <Pelo> Lunis,  man umount  I think there is an option to force it
[05:36] <hubuntu> does anybody knows which path is used for the init files are  on the install CD in 5.04 / hoary?
[05:36] <Bogus8> is there not a ubuntu repos with Opera on it?
[05:37] <Lunis> :D o
[05:37] <Lunis> ^I'll try lsof
[05:37] <thoreauputic> !opera
[05:37] <ubot3> opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.  Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[05:37] <kidbuntu> but the command that you gave returned this. i dont know what this is " 8037  8019  0 11:25 pts/0    00:00:00 grep java
[05:37] <kidbuntu> "
[05:37] <theman> whats up
[05:37] <Bogus8> thoreauputic: thanks
[05:37] <ca1> Pelo:  I already added myself with sudo nano /etc/group
[05:37] <thoreauputic> :)
[05:38] <theman> hey does ubuntu or linux in general have anything like windows scandisk ?
[05:38] <sethk> kidbuntu, that's the grep command itself, not the one he was looking for.
[05:38] <Pelo> !sound > ca1 check your priviate message windows for a message from ubot3   try this then
[05:38] <kersinc> #panas
[05:38] <MasterShrek> theman, e2fsck
[05:38] <Pelo> kersinc,  /join #panas
[05:38] <theman> do you have to have your drive unmounted?
[05:38] <hubuntu> bogus.. you may as well go to the site of the product... of course it is better to have it through a repository.. but the site is faster :)
[05:38] <JKirk_> !changethemes
[05:38] <ubot3> [Ubuntu]  Install gnome-themes or go to menu, system settings, appearance. [KDE]  For a good KDE guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CustomizeKubuntu
[05:38] <sethk> theman, the various fsck programs.  If you are looking for hardware level, look at badblocks
[05:38] <thoreauputic> theman: yes
[05:38] <Bogus8> hubuntu: yeah, I like using apt to maintain it though
[05:39] <kidbuntu> sethk: can you explain it to me further, i didnt get it.
[05:39] <thoreauputic> theman: running a file system check on a mounted drive would be a Bad Move (tm) :)
[05:39] <theman> is that the best thing out there?
[05:39] <lockd> I have heard that roaming profiles is inherantly broken
[05:39] <kyncani> Bogus8: i think you can find opera in medibuntu repos
[05:39] <coopster> kidbuntu, right, try it without the grep command, it may be that this method won't work in your situation if all you're seeing is the grep command
[05:39] <theman> why such a bad move?
[05:39] <galpa> #ubuntu-es
[05:39] <nalioth> kyncani: opera is availabe from the ubuntu commercial repos
[05:39] <dpgamer> Hey, can anyone explain why ubuntu live cd won't load up on my laptop? It will show various error messages before it even comes up then once the gui shows (when it does show) it freezes.
[05:39] <Bogus8> kyncani: cool... I'm checking things out
[05:40] <thoreauputic> theman: if it is mounted you run the risk of writing to it while checking it
[05:40] <theman> oh
[05:40] <sethk> kidbuntu, he did a ps (process status) command, fed the output to grep (which searches for lines matching a particular word).  In this case you pulled out the line that said "grep java", which is not what he was hoping to find, but was in fact the command you were running to look for the data.
[05:40] <cccvvvppp> wtf
[05:40] <kyncani> nalioth, Bogus8: oh, did not know that (use konqueror and firefox here)
[05:40] <cccvvvppp> [22:40]  ERROR *** Banned: Temporary D-line 14400 min. - (r12/23) Your client nick/user/ircname looks random-generated. Please use another server. (2007/8/9 23.40)
[05:40] <cccvvvppp> lol
[05:40] <cccvvvppp> on efnet via this nick
[05:40] <sethk> kidbuntu, if that's the only line shown, then java is not running at the time you executed the command.
[05:40] <nalioth> cccvvvppp: #ubuntu-offtopic is for offtopic chatter  :)
[05:40] <hubuntu> dpgamner what laptop do you have? model?
[05:41] <Pelo> dpgamer,  do you have a nvidia or ati video card ?  you need to use the alternat install cd , and install the drivers afterwards  cause they aren't opensource
[05:41] <sethk> kidbuntu, I get rid of the problem by adding    | grep -v grep     to the end of the command (which says skip lines containing "grep")
[05:41] <dpgamer> HP dv9000z
[05:41] <dpgamer> pheonix bios, nvidia graphics
[05:41] <Bogus8> kyncani: you should check it out man... it's the bees knees ;)
[05:41] <theman> how would you run e2fsck without having your hard drive mounted
[05:41] <ca1> Pelo:  The volume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. This means either that you don't have the right GStreamer plugins installed, or that you don't have a sound card configured. I'll try those links now. I'll get back to you
[05:41] <Pelo> dpgamer,  you will need to use the alternate isntall cd , it is text based
[05:41] <hubuntu> try the install with safe graphics before the alternate CD
[05:41] <kyncani> Bogus8: it's not gpl, so it's a no-go
[05:42] <Juno> ok, I tried to install the nvidia driver and it said something about missing kernal something or other.  any idea on that?
[05:42] <Bogus8> kyncani: but it's so lovely ;)
[05:42] <kidbuntu> sethk: so for example. the module of the program somehow related to promo pricing. then I do this? " ps -Af |promo java "
[05:42] <Pelo> ca1,  sounds to me like your user is not set to use alsa ,   but someting else,  make sure the user uses alsa ,
[05:42] <hubuntu> yeah.. and they use Qt too :) that's why opera is so portable
[05:42] <hubuntu> or am I wrong?
[05:42] <hubuntu> I read that somewhere
[05:42] <kyncani> Bogus8: yeah, it's the dark side
[05:42] <lockd> so they actually have to pay for Qt
[05:42] <ca1> Pelo:  who do I check that?
[05:43] <dpgamer> Is there anyway to use this install cd in text mode?
[05:43] <Bogus8> kyncani: they used to be pay... give them some time they'll come around
[05:43] <sethk> kidbuntu, that's not likely to work, though, because all you get from ps is the command line that started the command.  Unless the java program happens to have "promo" in the name, it won't show anything.  Also, ps is only good for programs that are running at the time ps is executed.
[05:43] <Pelo> ca1, dbl click on the sound icon in the top pannel , checn the menus and stuff
[05:43] <hubuntu> well trolltech has to survive of the paying companies, right? I honestly v can't say that I have helped them so much (but again... I do not use KDE either :)
[05:43] <JKirk_> I've got a 4 button mouse with roller and for some reason, button 3 invokes cube rotate.. is there a way for me to make it do a backup (as in firefox backup to a previous page)?
[05:43] <Juno> anyone know what kernel it is that NVIDIA tries to download from the website?
[05:44] <sethk> kidbuntu, you might instead try using the find command, perhaps something like:  find / -iname '*promo*'     which finds any files on the box with promo in the name
[05:44] <lockd> Bogus8: what I hate worst is closed-source "freeware" just because it's based on a particular toolkit
[05:44] <JKirk_> Juno, don't worry about it

I experienced something similar with Caldera (befora the SCO days ;) and I wonder if it has something to do with the kernel... The mouse won't work (tried with 2 mouses, that worked undder windows in the same machine)... anyone?

[05:53] <ameyer> not that ancient
[05:53] <alaa> does any one know how to install hotmail msn on that ubunto
[05:53] <Gh0st> Geek_: Going to Partition when I install Ubuntu from CD. My plan is this: To run the recovery disc that came with the laptop (contains factory settings of the laptop), thus putting it at basic settings. [I have a list of programs that I'll want to be sure to put back on Windows.]  Then, follow the method you just mentioned about installing and partioning. My question: Is my plan efficient?
[05:53] <alaa> or yahpp
[05:54] <Pelo> hubuntu,  I suggst you look up the mouse model in the forum see if anything is mentionned
[05:54] <Injen> Anyone have recommendations for backup software? Anything better than keep?
[05:54] <vexati0n> alaa: install hotmail? don't you just go to the website?
[05:54] <ameyer> some motherboards still have ps/2 ports, and you can still buy ps/2 mice
[05:54] <Pelo> Injen,  do a search in synaptic see what comes up
[05:54] <Geek_> Gh0st: DON'T partition from ubuntu... partition from vista.
[05:54] <thedonvaughn> alaa: confused.. what do u mean "install" hotmail or yahoo?
[05:54] <alaa> in ubuntooooooo
[05:54] <genii> alaa: look into kopete or gaim/pidgin

[05:54] <alaa> well in gaim it works
[05:54] <thedonvaughn> alaa: u can use your favorite mail client that supports POP3 to read your hotmail or yahoo email.
[05:54] <Gh0st> Geek_: So, recover, then partition, then boo and install?
[05:54] <Geek_> i had issues with that, only got saved by XP's checkdisk

[05:54] <MISTERTibbs> JKirk_: what are your mouse specs??
[05:55] <kritical> vexati0n, they're still in production, motherboards are still manufactured with PS/2 ports... I don't understand how you can claim it as ancient.... the majority of KVM's still require PS/2
[05:55] <Depeche> Hey, I've got an ATI Radeon AIW 8500 and Ubuntu 7.04 only gives me 800x600 @ 60 hz as the best option. What do I do to fix this?

[06:16] <IdleOne> np
[06:16] <alaa> pelo : but i love  the now things
[06:16] <Pelo> alaa, these will come in handy   http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php  http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[06:16] <hunteke> hey, to anyone who uses thunderbird or evolution: is there a way to automatically collect Thunderbirds message filters that I've set up?  Or do I have to manually recreate them in Evolution
[06:16] <MISTERTibbs> muhammad: system>administration>software sources
[06:16] <Pelo> alaa,  what is your native language ?
[06:16] <pramz> hunteke, you have to manually recreate them
[06:16] <hunteke> pramz: durn, but thanks
[06:16] <kyncani> IdleOne: you sure ? Bots keep getting abused ;)
[06:17] <alaa> pelo : that ubntu things is great so fast but so complicated
[06:17] <thoreauputic> IdleOne: it's over-rated ( I'm a bot and I can tell you ;-) )
[06:17] <hunteke> durn is now the new spelling of damn, btw
[06:17] <pramz> hunteke, and personally I prefer thunderbird, seems to handle folders with lots of messages better than evolution
[06:17] <hunteke> ah
[06:17] <IdleOne> thoreauputic, and kyncani  :)
[06:17] <alaa> pelo: wait let me do this again
[06:17] <MISTERTibbs> JKirk_: still there??
[06:17] <Pelo> alaa,  you'll get the hang of it eventualy, it's not that complicated
[06:17] <hunteke> pramz, It's my mail client of choice too but I need a calendar client
[06:17] <hunteke> that plays well with iCal
[06:17] <hunteke> and I thought I'd check out evolution
[06:17] <alaa> pelo: there is a green mark on it what is that means
[06:17] <pramz> hunteke, thunderbird + lightning
[06:17] <JKirk_> MISTERTibbs, ok... in gaim yahoo now
[06:18] <alaa> pelo : is it installed or what?
[06:18] <hunteke> lightning?  oh! I have heard of that
[06:18] <Pelo> alaa,  it means the package is installed,
[06:18] <pramz> hunteke, I use it with calendar actually. Evolution does not do caldav properly
[06:18] <Pelo> alaa,  try right click , reinstall
[06:18] <hunteke> good to know, good to know
[06:18] <alaa> pelo then how i get to it
[06:18] <bullgard4> I am looking for a better alternatve for OO.o Base. The OO. Base frontend does not provide a keyboard shortcut for 'Go to the next record', 'Go to the last record', 'Go to the previous record'. The 'Search for a record' keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F only opens if the cursor is prevously placed at certain screen areas. 43000 records, GUI mandatory.
[06:18] <Pelo> alaa,  should be in the menu,  > applications > internet

[06:19] <alaa> pelo : am angry
[06:19] <sloucher> Anyone experienced this? I'm log into a remote computer with ssh. When I do a command with a lot of output such as ps -ef - I loose the connection. Anyone know what I should start to look at?
[06:20] <thoreauputic> alaa: IRC has its own rules
[06:20] <hunteke> alaa: regarding winxp serv pack being easier and ubuntu being complicated, I might point out that it's because  you don't know it, and you are familiar with WinXP
[06:20] <Pelo> alaa,  the caracter repeats are annoying
[06:20] <alaa> pelo : thank you buddy
[06:20] <JKirk_> jkirkn
[06:20] <Pelo> alaa,  share and enjoy
[06:20] <MISTERTibbs> JKirk_: send me ID so I can add buddy

[06:21] <MISTERTibbs> JKirk_: send u id
[06:21] <Pelo> alaa,  you have msn,  I think gaim handles yahoo, but I am not sure,  check in the applicatiosn menu
[06:21] <JKirk_> MISTERTibbs<EMAIL_ADDRESS>that?
[06:21] <MISTERTibbs> JKirk_: wait
[06:21] <IdleOne> Pelo, it does
[06:21] <alaa> pelo i donot like gaim
[06:22] <hunteke> sloucher: no, haven't experienced that, but I have experienced a cracked box refusing to do certain things
[06:22] <hunteke> like ls of certain directories
[06:22] <hunteke> and ps or top commands
[06:22] <alaa> pelo isnot there any other way to install yahoo
[06:22] <Pelo> thank you idle, I know nothing about instant msging applications,  they are the spawn of the devil
[06:22] <Kent_> gaim handles yahoo chat, no cam / mic support though
[06:22] <alaa> Peelo thanks again man
[06:22] <Pelo> alaa,  I do not know,  look in www.ubuntuforums.org, search for it  see if anything comes up
[06:22] <IdleOne> Pelo, indeed they are but my kids like them so I check them out also
[06:23] <alaa> Pelo : you know how to use that terminal thing?
[06:23] <Pelo> alaa,  http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[06:23] <IdleOne> Pelo, they are overrated lol
[06:23] <sloucher> hunteke: that's a thought. It's onlly when there's long output though. Like ps -u will work because it's only a couple of lines.
[06:24] <IdleOne> hehe that terminal thing
[06:24] <kyncani> Pelo: IdleOne is now a bot, hence his kids surely are little linux boxens
[06:24] <royel> Hey, I'm looking to setup a PDC with roaming profiles, clients will be both linux and win(xp), I'm confused about whether to use NFS or Samba, I've read something about samba not liking roaming profiles, perhaps someone could confirm this or knows of a good tutorial on this exact thing?
[06:24] <hunteke> sloucher: huh.  not sure what to tell you.  I assume you've googled?
[06:24] <Pelo> IdleOne,  I remember when I taught swimming I had to keep up on the saturday morning kids shows so I could relate to my pupils
[06:24] <hunteke> you might get on the openssh mailing list and ask
[06:24] <thoreauputic> IdleOne: terminal case I fear ;)
[06:24] <Twomby> Anybody here familiar with truecrypt and Forcefield ?
[06:25] <sloucher> hunteke: googling now
[06:25] <hunteke> let me know what you find, eh sloucher? I'd be curious
[06:25] <JKirk_> MISTERTibbs, you still here?
[06:25] <IdleOne> thoreauputic, :) Pelo kyncani we should all know better then to be offtopic :)
[06:25] <MISTERTibbs> JKirk_<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[06:25] <Pelo> Twomby,  I'm going out on a limb here but I assume they have channels
[06:25] <hunteke> (but not curious enough to do the work myself, I suppose!)
[06:25] <alaa> PELO : thanks buddy
[06:25] <Twomby> Pelo : Can't find any... :/
[06:25] <thoreauputic> :)
[06:25] <Pelo> IdleOne,  we're safe the op is on our siide
[06:26] <w30> Pelo, ha, when I became a grandfather I got introduced to SpongeBob and TeleTubbies etc.
[06:26] <Zelest> For some reason, Ubuntu puts my NIC into 10mbit half-duplex.. I've had it using 100mbit full-duplex in both Windows and FreeBSD.. why is this and how can I change it? I tried "sudo ifconfig eth0 media 100baseTX" and got "port: SIOCSIFMAP: Operation not supported" .. what does that mean?
[06:26] <IdleOne> Pelo, true
[06:26] <Pelo> Twomby,  google for their site  they might have a faq or a forum
[06:26] <JKirk_> MISTERTibbs, doesn't work :( won't let me add that
[06:26] <IdleOne> w30, telletubbies is evil. dont let the kids watch it
[06:26] <JKirk_> MISTERTibbs, says it's not on the serverlist
[06:26] <IdleOne> on that note...goodnight folks
[06:26] <scipio> Twomby: i installed trucrypt following a howto in the forums. works ok
[06:26] <Twomby> yeah, been there, done that, I guess I'll just have to be a little more patient : ) Thanks though !
[06:26] <Pelo> w30,  you have my sympaties,  but it's fun to see them smile mind
[06:26] <w30> IdleOne, Jerry Farwell sure didn't like it.
[06:26] <Pelo> g'night IdleOne
[06:27] <MISTERTibbs> JKirk_: run gaim.  add your yahoo account add me to buddy list and send message
[06:27] <JKirk_> MISTERTibbs, k... just tried
[06:27] <IdleOne> w30, any show that speaks to your children like they are idiots is evil...   I created a volume under Windows, but can't access it under ubuntu
[06:28] <IdleOne> ok now Im out
[06:28] <kahrytan> Anyone know where I can get zlib package?
[06:28] <IdleOne> night to all and happy Ubuntu'ing
[06:28] <Pelo> IdleOne,  how do you feel about shows that talk to adults like they are idots ? we've just covered most of network and cable tv
[06:28] <royel> Pelo: lol
[06:29] <kyncani> kahrytan: apt-cache search -n zlib ?
[06:29] <scipio> Twomby: i have the exact same setup but it works for me. sadly i don't know much about how i made it to work.
[06:29] <caner> there is a problem with the scim input method. i writes normal latin alphabet in some programs and uses a weird alphabet in some programs. how can i set it stable to normal english alphabet?
[06:29] <royel> w30: dont turn it off
[06:29] <scipio> Twomby: so i guess i can't help you much more than to confirm that it's possible
[06:29] <astro76> !info zlib1g | kahrytan this one?
[06:29] <ubot3> kahrytan this one?: zlib1g: compression library - runtime. In component main, is required. Version 1:1.2.3-13ubuntu2 (edgy), package size 72 kB, installed size 172 kB
[06:29] <Zelest> Anyone? :(
[06:30] <JKirk_> MISTERTibbs, ??? do you get the msg?
[06:30] <kahrytan> astro76: the one clamav needs
[06:30] <Pelo> Zelest,  anyone what ?
[06:30] <Twomby> scipio : Thanks, I know I'll get it to work someday.. I was rather looking for a shortcut instead of having to read a lot, I'm in a little hurry :)
[06:30] <Rprp> I just made my USB bootable with feisty (This how-to: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/06/17/ubuntu-feisty-on-your-usb-drive-finally/) but, is it possible to 'install' ubuntu on a USB drive? SO i can run apache, mysql, and php ?
[06:30] <MISTERTibbs> JKirk_: wait
[06:30] <w30> royel, it's one of those stupid hp jobs.
[06:30] <Pelo> w30,  the graphical one is not an aption i take it ?
[06:30] <royel> w30: what command are you issuing, or are you using the reboot button from within a DE?
[06:30] <Zelest> Pelo, Who knows why Ubuntu can't use my realtek card in 100mbit full-duplex when both Windows and FreeBSD can.. :(
[06:30] <scipio> Twomby: good luck :)
[06:30] <astro76> kahrytan, that's the one then, should be auto installed when you install clamav, in fact it should be installed by default in feisty
[06:31] <kyncani> kahrytan: if you install clamav, it will automatically pull in zlib1g
[06:31] <J-_> !xorg

[06:31] <The_Band-aid> Zelest: do you have the correct drivers installed
[06:31] <Twomby> scipio : Do you use the Gui (Forcefield) or the command line interfaace ?
[06:31] <w30> royel, all of them the graphical and or the command line "reboot"
[06:31] <Pelo> Zelest, probably jsut a config thing, look up the card model in the forum and see if there are any instrucions
[06:31] <kahrytan> astro76: compiling it.
[06:31] <scipio> Twomby: command line
[06:31] <EJ> im looking for a web interface for MySQL to use with Feisty, any suggestions other than webmin ?
[06:31] <jmg> hey all
[06:31] <kahrytan> astro76: I prefer to keep antivirus updated
[06:31] <royel> w30: certainly won't make a difference I'm sure, but maybe try: sudo shutdown -r now
[06:31] <jmg> !dvdrip
[06:31] <scipio> Twomby: basically i only use one command to mount the volume since i created it in windows using gui
[06:32] <Twomby> scipio : let's say I have a volue mounted on sda6
[06:32] <Zelest> The_Band-aid, No clue.. I use the default kernel.
[06:32] <Twomby> *a volume
[06:32] <w30> royel, shutdown works just fine graphical and command line
[06:32] <Zelest> Pelo, Will do.
[06:32] <Twomby> how would you do it  with a command line ?  I tried via forcefield but to no avail.  I can't quite grasp all the logic, I feel a little stupid ;)
[06:32] <Pelo> g'night folk
[06:32] <royel> w30: shutdown -r  gives the flag to reboot
[06:32] <MISTERTibbs> JKirk_: i sent pm on yahoo
[06:32] <Twomby> g'night Pelo !
[06:32] <JKirk_> how do I install the "plugins" to allow dvd playback in movie player or gxine?
[06:32] <Rprp> I just made my USB bootable with feisty (This how-to: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/06/17/ubuntu-feisty-on-your-usb-drive-finally/) but, is it possible to 'install' ubuntu on a USB drive? SO i can run apache, mysql, and php ?
[06:33] <w30> royel, errr I never tried shutdown -r ; Is that a reboot command?
[06:33] <alaa> pello:
[06:33] <JKirk_> MISTERTibbs, didn't get it :(
[06:33] <alaa> good night
[06:33] <MISTERTibbs> JKirk_: sorry.  ok we do this here.

[06:33] <astro76> JKirk_, libdvdcss2 is what you need
[06:33] <alaa> ANY one knows how to download java for games
[06:33] <scipio> Twomby: give me one minute please to reboot in linux to give you the exact syntax :)
[06:33] <scipio> brb
[06:34] <astro76> !java | alaa
[06:34] <ubot3> alaa: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[06:34] <royel> w30: it's a bit of an overkill for a single user system since I'm sure you know it's rebooting, but yes ": shutdown -r now" broadcasts a message to users an -r flags to reboot.

[06:37] <MISTERTibbs> JKirk_: i have yahoo happy face.  send message
[06:38] <royel> w30: for some reason I am thinking of that "soft power-off" option, or something similiarly named could be of some trouble, And then I've been known to be wrong... a couple times.
[06:38] <JKirk_> MISTERTibbs, oh..I wasn't activated I guess
[06:38] <MISTERTibbs> JKirk_: :)
[06:39] <astro76> cables, try useradd
[06:39] <scipio> Twomby, ok it's easy: trucrypt /mnt/shared/xxxx /mnt/tc         (the /mnt/shared/xxxx is the location and name of the volume you want to mount)
[06:39] <cables> astro76, ok, thanks
[06:39] <weston> hey guys how dio i find out if i have i386 ubuntu or amd 64 ubuntu unstalled?

[06:40] <w30> royel, you are thinking soft power off option in bios somewhere?
[06:41] <skrypt> Can someone link me to a How To on upgrading from pidgin 2.0.1 to pidgin 2.1
[06:41] <royel> w30: yes, might be of no use, but can't hurt to look.
[06:41] <bullgard4> What is meant by 'environment' in man env: "Set each NAME to VALUE in the environment and run COMMAND."?
[06:41] <w30> royel, or are you thinking of a Ubuntu config file womewhere?
[06:42] <mttr> can't seem to get hybernate or sleep to work on my feisty on a p5b deluxe mb

[06:42] <alaa> what does this message  means Could not open the file /home/alaa/Desktop/jre-6u2-linux-i586-rpm(2).bin.
[06:42] <scipio> Twomby, no problem
[06:42] <astro76> bullgard4, printenv will show the "environment variables"
[06:42] <alaa> HOW CAN I EXCTRACT IT
[06:43] <royel> alaa: normally the first thing I do when someone comes in spamming useless text as yourself is ignore them, you were lucky tonite an got a bit of my bad mood.
[06:43] <astro76> alaa, java is also available in synaptic
[06:43] <royel> w30: hopefully it will be of some use, gl
[06:43] <alaa> astro : thanks
[06:43] <alaa> astro?
[06:44] <alaa> Astro : not because you know and  we donot know  you trat us as a teacher

[06:44] <firebird619> Is there something that can be put into .asoundrc to get sound from both hw:0,0 and hw:0,1 at the same time?
[06:44] <royel> alaa: you've downloaded a red hat package, use synaptic or apt-get.
[06:44] <royel> !java | alaa
[06:44] <ubot3> alaa: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[06:45] <alaa> Astro: am lost in that site you gave me
[06:45] <astro76> alaa, just go to synaptic and search for sun-java6-jre and install it
[06:45] <alaa> Astro: i think i will shoot myu self
[06:45] <alaa> Astro : thanks buddy
[06:46] <w30> alaa, I think you have type sh /home/alaa/Desktop/jre-6u2-linux-i586-rpm(2).bin
[06:46] <Rprp> I just made my USB bootable with feisty (This how-to: http://xubuntublog.wordpress.com/2007/06/17/ubuntu-feisty-on-your-usb-drive-finally/) but, is it possible to 'install' ubuntu on a USB drive? SO i can run apache, mysql, and php ?
[06:46] <gaas> alaa: can also do 'apt-cache search sun-java6-jre'
[06:46] <weston> whats the diff between sun java 5 and 6?
[06:46] <zoexii> what is the command to display my ip address?
[06:46] <alaa> PPl: plz yellow ppl i am lost what shall i doo
[06:46] <astro76> w30, no reason to install a java rpm
[06:46] <royel> zoexii: ifconfig
[06:46] <zoexii> royel, cool,
[06:46] <zoexii> thanks
[06:47] <gaas> Rprp: have you checked out portableapps.com ?
[06:47] <Twomby> Rprp : I'm curious as to why you would like to run apache off a usb drive?
[06:47] <astro76> alaa, what is the problem?
[06:47] <gaas> zoexii: ifconfig (as root or sudo)
[06:47] <alaa> Am Losst
[06:47] <w30> alaa or else chmod ugoa+x <the bin file name>  then just type the file name
[06:47] <JKirk_> kahrytan, I followed the repository how-to on medibuntu ... now what?
[06:47] <Rprp> Twomby: Im gonna take a holiday, And i want to test some PHP files etc ...
[06:47] <astro76> alaa, what is the problem?
[06:47] <w30> alaa, you are on an rpm distro? right?
[06:47] <astro76> he's on ubuntu!
[06:48] <cables> How do I find the permissions of a folder from the terminal, then apply them to another folder with a similar format?
[06:48] <gaas> Rprp: portableapps  gives you a portable XAMPP server on a usb stick
[06:48] <alaa> Astro: am new her and this is really getting me so crazy from morning tell now and am tryoing to type in that termnial thing
[06:48] <royel> I assumed he is on Ubuntu asking support questions in a ubuntu support channel :)
[06:48] <Twomby> Rprp : I see!!  I'm no experience user here, I was simply curious :)
[06:48] <jetole> hey guys, I am trying to grab the ubuntu kernel source code with apt-get source linux-image-generic and apt is giving me errors such as this => Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-meta/linux-meta_<IP_ADDRESS>.28.1.dsc  Could not open file linux-meta_<IP_ADDRESS>.28.1.dsc - open (2 No such file or directory)
[06:48] <alaa> What rpmmmmm
[06:48] <jetole> does anyone know why, I did a apt-get update first and it's not telling me that it's an unknown package
[06:48] <kahrytan> JKirk_: Did you install packages?
[06:48] <alaa> Astro : this is the very first time am using this ubunto
[06:48] <astro76> alaa, forget the rpm, you opened synaptic before right? system>admin>synaptic package manager
[06:48] <w30> alaa, if you are on Ubuntu distro just delete that file and get a .deb package
[06:48] <royel> cables: ls -l
[06:49] <cables> royel, thanks
[06:49] <alaa> Astro i did
[06:49] <cables> royel, how do i apply those in a similar format?
[06:49] <alaa> Astro : i did open it
[06:49] <astro76> alaa, ok go there again, hit search, and enter sun-java6-jre
[06:49] <JKirk_> kahrytan, do I do it with synaptics?
[06:49] <zoexii> ok, hi, I want to let someone on the other side of the internet use my machine via vncviewer, but my machine is behind a cablemodem/router, do I give them the IP address of the modem for them to connect?
[06:49] <kahrytan> JKirk_: Yes
[06:49] <astro76> alaa, then check it, and click Apply to install
[06:50] <alaa> searshing
[06:50] <astro76> alaa, also please read this guide
[06:50] <astro76> !synaptic | alaa
[06:50] <ubot3> alaa: synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[06:50] <gaas> zoexii: yes.  also setup the router to direct vnc traffic to the linux box
[06:50] <linux_> i can replave gnome with kde ?
[06:50] <alaa> astro: what is that termial thing
[06:50] <JKirk_> what do I install?
[06:50] <kahrytan> JKirk_: You can use apt-get in console too.
[06:50] <royel> cables: it's a bit confusing maybe.. but: sudo chmod ### /file/folder <-- where ### is replaced by the number of the permissions you wish to give
[06:50] <zoexii> gaas, this is called port forwarding? how do I know the port for vnc?
[06:50] <astro76> !terminal | alaa
[06:50] <ubot3> alaa: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[06:51] <JKirk_> should I do a search on restricted?
[06:51] <aldin> hi, can someone tell me what ! and x mean in /etc/group
[06:51] <kyncani> linux_: install packages kubuntu-desktop and kde and you're done
[06:51] <olrrai> do u know a program to edit an ISO image?
[06:51] <zoexii> gaas, and that would be modem firmware settings yes?
[06:51] <Kumaru> is there any good channel for Wine help?
[06:51] <gaas> zoexii: ususually 5900 or 5901.  see man page
[06:51] <linux_> kyncani , in kde i will have all my pakages that i have installed wirh synaptic ?
[06:51] <alaa> Astro: they are typing so fast  i could not read what you wrote
[06:52] <gaas> zoexii: modem 'firmware' - actually firewall
[06:52] <rosensturm> Is there a way to save the color settings I make using the nvidia x server settings dailog? When I restart or when the screensaver runs, the color settings go back to default.
[06:52] <skrypt> what's the command to get the build essentials?
[06:52] <kyncani> linux_: yes, but if you're using kde, you might consider using kde apps rather than gnome apps, they're better integrated with the desktop
[06:52] <alaa> Astro ? in system tools there is root terminal
[06:52] <alaa> Astro : what is root and normal
[06:52] <zoexii> gaas, ok, but I change firewall settings in the modem firmware, or does Ubuntu have a default firewall too?
[06:52] <kahrytan> JKirk_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu
[06:52] <gaas> skrypt: apt-get install build-essential
[06:53] <SyNiK> rosensturm: run "sudo nvidia-settings" then save the configuration file before exiting, this should save your color settings on reboot.
[06:53] <astro76> alaa, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[06:53] <kahrytan> JKirk_: Follow that link and instructions (https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu)
[06:53] <|_ocke> it seems since i upgraded to feisty i no longer have getty and therefore have no login prompt on ctrl-alt-f1-6
[06:53] <gaas> zoexii: usually with some web front end accessed by navigating to http://<IP_ADDRESS> (or something like that)
[06:53] <|_ocke> and tehrefore cant login to the system except in kdm or in recovery mode (which works fine)
[06:53] <|_ocke> however i cant install nvidia drivers in recovery mode
[06:54] <weredragon> Does Ubuntu, create a harddrive partition, when installed.  So when you boot up the computer you have a choice about which OS to run.  If so does it keep all of your old files on the original OS?
[06:54] <gaas> weredragon: yes
[06:54] <weredragon> Thank you :)
[06:54] <alaa> Asro : am sorry for giving you hard time  but you are ppl so wounderfull
[06:54] <rosensturm> SyNiK, I see nothing about saving a configuration file.
[06:54] <Kumaru> gaas seriously?
[06:54] <|_ocke> also, i have no /etc/inittab
[06:55] <gaas> Kumaru: yes... you just need to kind of know what you are doing when you set up the partitions
[06:55] <alaa> astro : you and pelo are my best ubunto friends
[06:55] <astro76> |_ocke, ubuntu uses upstart now
[06:55] <JKirk_> kahrytan, I've got libdvdcss2 installed already... but totem movie player won't play dvd :(
[06:55] <Kumaru> gaas: i see
[06:55] <gaas> weredragon: have you performed the install already?
[06:55] <weredragon> gaas: No.
[06:55] <SyNiK> rosensturm: i haven't got nvidia-settings in front of me, but its there, something like save settings to xorg configuration file or something, but you need to run it as "su" (root) so that it has the permissions to edit that file.
[06:55] <kahrytan> JKirk_: sudo apt-get install w32codecs
[06:55] <kyncani> |_ocke: upstart does not use inittab i think
[06:55] <weredragon> I was worried about loosing my files.
[06:56] <gaas> weredragon: first of all - back up all your important files on some other media.  Then..
[06:56] <alaa> Astro: you know the commands where i can use
[06:56] <|_ocke> astro76, what is upstart? and what does it have to do with no getty running and no possibility to login except in graphical mode?
[06:56] <gaas> weredragon: with that saftey net in place - go ahead and partition your hard drive
[06:56] <gaas> brb
[06:56] <astro76> |_ocke, it's a replacement for init: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[06:56] <weredragon> And thats where I am stumped.
[06:56] <|_ocke> ctrl-alt-f1 shows the startup messages, ending with a message about ALSA, which was the last before the gui loaded
[06:56] <rosensturm> SyNiK, I see it now but it doesn't seem to save anything about the color settings.
[06:57] <Penguinsaremyfri> Anyone know where to get gdesklets? Their site is not working. Or a better widget alternative if there is one
[06:57] <scipio> weredragon,  if you don't have the partitions already done it's best to backup data before doing that. only because partitioning a hard with data on it may cause data loss. run a disk defrag so all your data it's on one end of the hard
[06:57] <alaa> Astro friend:
[06:57] <MasterShrek> Penguinsaremyfri, screenlets
[06:57] <astro76> |_ocke, and has nothing to do with getty not running
[06:57] <MasterShrek> !screenlets | Penguinsaremyfri
[06:57] <ubot3> Factoid screenlets not found
[06:57] <JKirk_> when I try gxine I get an error about no demuxer
[06:57] <|_ocke> hmm.. why could getty not be running after upgrading to 7.04?
[06:57] <Penguinsaremyfri> Ok, I will look at that one. Thanks
[06:57] <bullgard4> astro76: Thank you for your answer. But I would like to know what Linux considers that 'environment variables' are. Other operationg systems understand 'environment variables' differently.
[06:57] <Dankmizter> Im a 100% new user to Linux os. Im using Ubuntu 7.04. where is a good place to learn what I can do with linux
[06:58] <weredragon> scipio: Ah ok.  Because right now I have ubuntu running on a virtual machine, before I was going to go ahead and install it.
[06:58] <Dankmizter> the help file just leads me in circles.
[06:58] <SyNiK> rosensturm: it should do, i havent tried it recently but make sure you are running it with sudo and test to see if the settings are still there after an X restart (ctrl+alt+backspce).
[06:58] <|_ocke> i really really need to be able to login without x running :P
[06:58] <|_ocke> if i manually kill it or stop kdm from running on startup, i simply cant login and it sits on the last message before it would load normally
[06:58] <kahrytan> JKirk_:  You install gstreamer codecs yet?
[06:58] <LuiCal> hello guys, i need technical support with openoffice, please help
[06:59] <scipio> weredragon, yes, basically the partioning process is what might cause data loss. after that is done you just point the ubuntu install to the right partion and it won't touch your windows stuff
[06:59] <Twomby> scipio : Everything works fine !!! Thanks a bunch !!!!!
[06:59] <JKirk_> found the answer ...had to install libxine1-ffmpeg
[06:59] <alaa> Asro : thanks for your wounderfull help
[06:59] <scipio> Twomby, excellent :)
[06:59] <gaas> weredragon: depending on how your files are distributed throughout your harddrive will you be able to split up your hard drive well
[06:59] <|_ocke> i can still switch between terminals with ctrl alt f1-6, but 2-6 are just blank with a cursor and 1 is the startup output
[06:59] <kahrytan> JKirk_: You should grab VideoLAN (vlc)
[06:59] <Kumaru> well, i just made the stupid mistake of hitting ctrl alt and backspace to see what would happen
[06:59] <astro76> bullgard4, that's basically it, a bunch of shell variables
[06:59] <weredragon> Thanks gaas and scipio, I'll go run the defrag.
[06:59] <LuiCal> please help me with openoffice issues
[06:59] <kahrytan> JKirk_: No nonsense video player. Doesnt rely on codecs installed.
[06:59] <kyncani> |_ocke: upstart should have provided the ttys i think. If not, look into /etc/event.d, the command line to get ttys are there
[06:59] <weredragon> And back up my files.
[06:59] <SyNiK> Kumaru: lol, now you know ;)
[06:59] <gaas> weredragon: have you tried using a livecd just to make sure you really want to install ubunutu?
[07:00] <JKirk_> I've got vlc... first one I tried...works fine...but it's semi-transparent in full screen... looks wierd
[07:00] <bullgard4> astro76: Thank you.
[07:00] <weredragon> gaas: Yes, I have ubuntu running on a virtual machine.
[07:00] <weredragon> I like it a lot.
[07:00] <astro76> JKirk_, that's strange, vlc is a better choice for dvd, since it does menus and everything right
[07:00] <|_ocke> kyncani, /etc/event.d/tty1 contains "start on runlevel 2 - 5, stop on 0 1 and 6
[07:01] <astro76> |_ocke, sounds right, then 'respawn' and 'exec /sbin/getty 38400 tty1' ?
[07:01] <gaas> weredragon: virtual machine... on what operating system?
[07:01] <|_ocke> astro76, yes
[07:01] <weredragon> Windows.
[07:02] <Penguinsaremyfri> screenlets.org is not working either
[07:02] <gaas> weredragon: hmm... is that with vmware?
[07:02] <Ann> hi
[07:02] <d0lph1nK1ng> i installed network-manager vpnc plugin to connect to my schools Cisco IPSec VPN network for my mail.  thunderbird downloads my IMAP folders, but not any messages.  any ideas?
[07:02] <Kumaru> VLC FTW
[07:02] <m4st3r> Ann//hi
[07:02] <weredragon> Quite correct.
[07:02] <kyncani> |_ocke: yes, so you should have had a tty as i understand it. Nevertheless, log into X, then ( sudo getty 38400 tty1 & ) should give you a tty
[07:02] <|_ocke> i just tried running 'sudo exec /sbin/getty 38400 tty1' manually and it said exec not found
[07:02] <m4st3r>
[07:02] <Ann>
[07:02] <Ann>
[07:02] <weredragon> I tried two others, before I got one to work though.
[07:02] <m4st3r>
[07:02] <royel> |_ocke: I'm curious why you didnt use the server install flavor if you dont need the gui?
[07:02] <rosensturm> SyNiK, just tried, nothing.
[07:02] <Ann>
[07:02] <Ann> ?
[07:02] <Ann> ..
[07:02] <Geek_> ...
[07:02] <m4st3r>
[07:02] <astro76> !english | Ann m4st3r
[07:02] <ubot3> Ann m4st3r: The #ubuntu, #kubuntu and #xubuntu channels are english only. For a complete list of channels in other languages, please visit http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InternetRelayChat
[07:03] <|_ocke> royel, i didnt say i dont need the gui, i use the gui, and am trying to get my opengl support back
[07:03] <m4st3r>   ;;
[07:03] <Ann> astro76 / okok
[07:03] <SyNiK> rosensturm: sorry bud, i'm fresh out of ideas
[07:03] <royel> |_ocke: ah
[07:03] <|_ocke> but i cannot install nvidia drivers without being in command mode with x stopped
[07:03] <m4st3r>
[07:03] <m4st3r> astro76//sorry
[07:03] <hiroshiX> is there korean chess for linux?
[07:03] <Ann> um..
[07:03] <kyncani> |_ocke: right ..
[07:03] <|_ocke> kyncani, it worked! finally
[07:03] <Ann> linux?
[07:03] <gaas> with my dabbling with virtual machines, there's definitley a performance hit.  You'll see it'll run much faster in "reality"
[07:04] <kyncani> |_ocke: how's that ?
[07:04] <Hail_Spacecake> does the livecd version of ubuntu come with the dd command?
[07:04] <astro76> |_ocke, that doesn't sound good, exec is a bash built-in
[07:04] <alaa> Thanks Yellow ppl for helping me
[07:04] <Penguinsaremyfri> Anyone know a good desklet/widget engine
[07:04] <gaas> Ann: yes ... we are discussing linux
[07:04] <Ann> um..
[07:04] <|_ocke> should i change the line in event.d/tty1 to not include 'exec' since it doesnt seem to be working..
[07:04] <Ann> I'm sorry
[07:04] <|_ocke> and i dont u nderstand why it wouldnt exist either
[07:04] <kyncani> |_ocke: nope !
[07:04] <weredragon> gaas: Yea, though I tried using QEMU, and Virtual Box.
[07:04] <LuiCal> please help me with openoffice my issue, ive finally installed my printer and it works fine when i test it with CUPS, but when i try to print an openoffice document, a printer logo appears in my pannel for a few second and then disappears, and nothing happens, please help
[07:04] <Ann> Do you speak easily Please
[07:04] <weredragon> VMware seems to be a good virtual machine for it.
[07:04] <|_ocke> i gotta get these drivers installed before something else screws up, ill brb
[07:04] <kyncani> |_ocke: exec is the marker for the command line upstart should run when the event appear
[07:05] <varun0> gaas: AFAIK, if you use a newer proc with virtualization extensions, it's pretty close to realtime
[07:05] <hiroshiX> is there chinese chess for linux?
[07:05] <gaas> weredragon: Yup.. I used QEMU to run damnsmalllinux.
[07:05] <ari_stress> hiroshiX: what is chinese chess?
[07:05] <|_ocke> k back in a min
[07:05] <gaas> varun0: I thought DSL was a little sluggish.  Maybe it's jjust my system
[07:06] <zoexii> ok, so I think I set up port forwarding to let someone with vnc view my desktop, is there any good way to test if it works?
[07:06] <hiroshiX> it's similar to regular chess, but it has some different pieces and a different board layout... plus they are round pieces labeled with chinese characters
[07:06] <Penguinsaremyfri> Anyone know a good desklet/widget engine for linux?
[07:06] <varun0> gaas: DSL?
[07:06] <CheeseGardener> I typed in sudo time fsck -p -f /dev/sdb1, but for some reason the terminal seems to be doing things, but isn't displaying any text or a time left.  Why is this???
[07:06] <|_ocke> i logged in on tty1 and it says -bash: no job control in this shell
[07:06] <gaas> varun0: damnsmalllinux.  I ran this distro of linux with QEMU
[07:07] <LuiCal> please help me with my openoffice issue
[07:07] <varun0> gaas: ahhh.....sorry.....my bad.
[07:07] <LuiCal> please
[07:07] <hiroshiX> it's also called qianhong
[07:07] <gaas> varun0: damnsmalllinux is a great portable distro
[07:07] <varun0> gaas: what proc do you have?
[07:07] <kyncani> Penguinsaremyfri: gnome -> gdesklets, kde -> superkaramba. Don't like none of them though
[07:07] <varun0> gaas: haha......yea I've heard of it, just never heard it called DSL :-)
[07:07] <CheeseGardener> Does anyone know what is happening?  is it checking my drive?
[07:07] <gaas> varun0: some cheapo AMD turion 64 processor
[07:07] <hiroshiX> xiangqi
[07:07] <CheeseGardener> Or why perhaps it isn't displaying a time?
[07:07] <IN1HIT|spatchE> ok
[07:08] <scipio> LuiCal, just an idea since i'm also kinda new but did you check if openoffice uses the right printer when it tries to print?
[07:08] <thoreauputic> CheeseGardener: as far as I know "time" only displays a time when the command finishes
[07:08] <|_ocke> ok, in the shell i tried sudo NVIDIA-100whatever and it is not runnign and i cant ctrl c
[07:08] <astro76> CheeseGardener, I would guess it's running, time displays nothing until the command finishes
[07:08] <Penguinsaremyfri> thanks
[07:08] <gaas> varun0: I know this is offtopic, but if you've got an old computer that you want to make usefull - DSL is the way to go
[07:08] <CheeseGardener> oh ok astro
[07:08] <LuiCal> yeah, it is using the rigth printer
[07:08] <rosensturm> SyNiK, I see I just have to add "nvidia-settings -l" to my startup.
[07:08] <CheeseGardener> the command isn't displaying anything though, astro76.  It seems to be working though
[07:08] <varun0> gaas: so I've heard
[07:08] <IN1HIT|spatchE> How do I install my NVIDIA driver for a 6600gt
[07:09] <thoreauputic> !nvidia
[07:09] <ubot3> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:09] <kyncani> !nvidia | |_jocke
[07:09] <ubot3> |_jocke: please see above
[07:09] <|_ocke> ok so, i came back to the gui terminal i launched the getty process from and i ctrl c fromt here
[07:09] <LuiCal> can someone help me please? i cannot print openoffice docs
[07:09] <varun0> gaas: never had a chance to try it. I have a P166 lying around, I should give it a shot
[07:09] <gaas> LuiCal: can you print with other applications?
[07:10] <CheeseGardener> astro76, as long as the light is going on the drive, then it is doing something to it right?
[07:10] <LuiCal> well when i installed the drivers, cups made a test print, and it was fine
[07:10] <gaas> varun0: the really cool think about it is that they really found the best apps for a slow machine.. in the end, though - it was just a novelty for me
[07:10] <astro76> CheeseGardener, yeah
[07:10] <Gh0st> Geek_: I'm using the CD right now.
[07:10] <|_ocke> kyncani, so, im not running gnome, im running kde, how can i get to the restricted driver manager?
[07:11] <Geek_> Gh0st: liveCD?
[07:11] <gaas> LuiCal: Can you still successfully print a test page from CUPS?
[07:11] <astro76> |_ocke, you need to install the package restricted-manager
[07:11] <[MooN] > Do anybody have an idea why I cant see movie files while I use Beryl themes, but works fine when I use default Gnome theme?:)
[07:11] <Gh0st> GeeK_: I did what you said a partitioned using Vista. Then, booted Ubuntu via LiveCd. When I go to install on drive, I go to about step 4 when it goes into partioning.
[07:11] <|_ocke> oh hmm
[07:11] <thoreauputic> [MooN] : try a different driver ( X11 etc) in the preferences
[07:11] <|_ocke> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[07:11] <|_ocke> perhaps that is my problem
[07:11] <LuiCal> yep i can
[07:12] <[MooN] > thoreauputic: Okay, thanks:)
[07:12] <|_ocke> im gonna let that finish and get a beer in the meantime
[07:12] <Geek_> Gh0st: at step 1, it mentions an alternate install method, does it not? you used that right?
[07:12] <|_ocke> brb
[07:12] <scipio> LuiCal, can you open the file with another aplication and try to print from there? maybe even convert it to pdf? or try to search on the forums for your specific printer to see if anyone else had the same problems
[07:12] <thoreauputic> [MooN] : various movie apps vary in their prefs
[07:12] <Geek_> (going off memory)
[07:12] <Gh0st> Um...Hold on. Let me see.
[07:13] <LuiCal> let me see
[07:13] <skrypt> How do I add stuff to the "start" menu
[07:13] <MasterShrek> skrypt, right click it
[07:13] <Gh0st> Ready to install? Once you answer a few questions, the contents of the live CD can be installed on this computer so you can run the system at full speed and without the CD.
[07:13] <Gh0st> Answering the questions should only take a few minutes.
[07:13] <Gh0st> Please choose the language used for the installation process. This language will be the default language for the final system.
[07:13] <Gh0st> That's what it says at step one.
[07:13] <thoreauputic> skrypt: right click, menu editor
[07:13] <skrypt> ty
[07:13] <scipio> skrypt, go to system-preferences-main menu
[07:14] <Gh0st> After I choose English, it asks me to choose the time zone.
[07:14] <scipio> or that
[07:14] <scipio> :)
[07:14] <rives> i have 2 hard drives one master one slave one is running ubuntu(this reive and the other is blank and currently formatted to ntfs
[07:14] <Gh0st> After the time zone, it asks me to choose the type to keyboard.
[07:14] <rives> 	at the moment i dont have any permisions to save data and the second drive
[07:14] <rives> i was wondering if i needed to refomat it or if any one knew how to reset the permissions on the other dive
[07:14] <rives> its not as simple as right clicking
[07:15] <rives> unless im missing some thing
[07:15] <kyncani> !ntfs | rives
[07:15] <ubot3> rives: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[07:15] <weston> whats the flash plugin for firefox?
[07:15] <MasterShrek> rives, is there a reason it is ntfs?
[07:15] <Gh0st> After keyboard, it goes into Partitioner. Now, I have two choices: Guided  use entire disk & Manual.
[07:15] <rives> no
[07:15] <Gh0st> Do I choose Manual?
[07:15] <MasterShrek> making it a linux fs would be a better option
[07:15] <astro76> weston, flashplugin-nonfree
[07:15] <MasterShrek> ext3 never has to be defragmented
[07:15] <rives> the os(sin2k) failed and i tryed to reinstate file sys to recover
[07:15] <gaas> rives: you need to give your self write permissions to the mount point, I think for starters.. Also - it should be mounted read-write in the /etc/fstab file
[07:15] <orbisvicis> !crontb
[07:15] <ubot3> Factoid crontb not found
[07:15] <rives> ... it failed

[07:16] <Sithe> Does anyone know if ATI Drivers mess up Ubuntu for good? Someone just told me that
[07:16] <rives> that i can deal with
[07:16] <Geek_> !ati
[07:16] <ubot3> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:16] <orbisvicis> i hear a lot of people complain about ati drivers
[07:16] <Geek_> hmm
[07:16] <orbisvicis> the fglx ones i mean
[07:17] <Sithe> I installed an ATI driver.. then uninstalled it then installed the fglx.. and now I dont have the right resolution
[07:17] <Gh0st> Geek_: I choose Manual, do I not?
[07:17] <m4st3r> When appear Ubuntu next version?
[07:17] <Geek_> Gh0st: definately yes
[07:17] <MasterShrek> rives, if you add your user to the disk group, you will be able to read and write to it (if it isnt ntfs) if you want it to be ntfs you must install and configure ntfs-3g
[07:18] <astro76> m4st3r, October, 7.10 = 10th month of 2007
[07:18] <MasterShrek> wow what was warty? 4.10?
[07:18] <Sithe>  installed an ATI driver.. then uninstalled it then installed the fglx.. and now I dont have the right resolution
[07:19] <Bogus8> why does a window go "black and white" but yet it's still functional?
[07:19] <MasterShrek> that will make exactly 3 years ive been using linux
[07:19] <MasterShrek> :)
[07:19] <[MooN] > Bogus8: It goes into zombie mode.
[07:19] <Bogus8> [MooN] : and that means?
[07:19] <Gh0st> GeeK_: I choose Manual. And... IT asks me to specify a partition for the root file system (mount point "/") with a minimum size of 2GB, and a swap partition of at least 256 MB.
[07:19] <marginoferror> MasterShrek: Is there a "proper" way to use the FUSE ntfs r/w driver in Ubuntu?  Something that avoids manually editing fstab?
[07:20] <Sithe>  installed an ATI driver.. then uninstalled it then installed the fglrx.. and now I dont have the right resolution
[07:20] <p1ls> yo whats a smiliar program to flasget?
[07:20] <Geek_> Gh0st: does it allow you to resize an excsisting partiton?
[07:20] <astro76> marginoferror, ntfs-config is a gui for ntfs-3g
[07:20] <MasterShrek> i believe so marginoferror , just run ntfs-3g /dev/[device]  /mount/point      i think
[07:20] <Gh0st> Um...As in Edit Partition?
[07:21] <Gh0st> *Geek_:

[07:21] <orbisvicis> !atd
[07:21] <ubot3> Factoid atd not found
[07:22] <Geek_> Gh0st: yeah. use it to split the linux partition as needed...
[07:22] <p1ls> !atd
[07:22] <ubot3> Factoid atd not found
[07:22] <Geek_> then select mount points
[07:22] <p1ls> yo whats a smiliar program to flasget?
[07:22] <p1ls> ??!
[07:22] <Geek_> p1ls: I use DTA on FF and wget (not a download accelerator but damn useful)
[07:23] <p1ls> which one is with gui
[07:23] <Geek_> DTA
[07:23] <Gh0st> Geek_: Here's what it says when I choose to edit: 'New Partition size in Megabytes: 10485' 'Use as: ntfs' and 'Mount Point: /media/sda3'.
[07:24] <pmcnabb> is it possible to initiate a pxe boot remotely?
[07:24] <Geek_> ghost: it has a slider?
[07:24] <p1ls> how to install it sudo apt-get install dta?
[07:24] <Gh0st> Geek_: Yes.
[07:24] <Geek_> p1ls: no, through firefox
[07:24] <elfmage> I have a question about drivers    I know ubuntu fins all the drivers for install but what about new hardware
[07:24] <Geek_> Gh0st: use that to resize. for swap and /
[07:24] <Geek_> then you can reformat in next step i think
[07:25] <Gh0st> Geek_: So, what do I do? I'm not really following. Step-by-step, if you could?
[07:25] <Geek_> Gh0st: going off memory. use the slider to shrink the partition. create new partition. assign partitions to / and swap
[07:26] <CheeseGardener> Could someone help me decipher something terminal outputted?
[07:26] <p1ls> i need one that will show u all files of a webisite
[07:26] <kyncani> elfmage: new hardware are either already more or less supported by existing drivers or will be supported in gutsy (or not supported at all ...)
[07:26] <bullgard4> What does 'MM' mean in the environment variable 'MM_CHARSET'?
[07:26] <p1ls> does ff dta does that?
[07:26] <Geek_> firefox/Down Them All ;)
[07:27] <Gh0st> Geek_: Ok. So, editing the partition I made in windows, I change the size to...How's 500MB for swap, and the rest for Root File system?
[07:27] <CheeseGardener> I need some help trying to understand a 'fsck' report that terminal prompted me with...
[07:27] <Geek_> p1ls: err... wget will grab everything. DTA grabs all links
[07:27] <Geek_> Gh0st: rule of thumb is 2x ram for swap unless you have a lot of ram
[07:28] <|_ocke> k its still setting up packages, i bet that was the problem :P
[07:28] <Gh0st> Geek_: So...256 x2 = 512 MB for Swap?
[07:28] <luyi> sssss
[07:28] <Geek_> yeah
[07:28] <Geek_> too much swap is wasteful
[07:28] <|_ocke> Gh0st, i recommend more for that small amount of ram
[07:28] <p1ls> geek what about one that shows u files of website
[07:29] <CheeseGardener> Could someone help me read a 'fsck' report quickly?  it won't take long
[07:29] <Gh0st> Geek_: You mean 2x the amount of MY ram?
[07:29] <|_ocke> i had problems when i had 512, i imagine 768 would have made as much difference as 4gb, but i just was sick and tired of waiting 10 mins for it to swap data in and out of swap and mem
[07:29] <Frenchie> :)
[07:29] <astro76> Gh0st, yeah 1GB would be good for your swap
[07:29] <n2diy> CheeseGardener: pastebin it for us.
[07:29] <CheeseGardener> k brb
[07:29] <kyncani> |_ocke: buy more ram
[07:29] <ameyer> I have 128 MB of RAM and 298 MB of swap  on my lappy o_O
[07:29] <p1ls> geek what about one that shows u files of website
[07:29] <|_ocke> kyncani, i dont buy computer equipment
[07:30] <ameyer> apparently that's the way Debian automagically does things
[07:30] <Gh0st> Astro: >.< Haha. Um..How do I find my RAM? I forgot how much it was on this laptop.
[07:30] <|_ocke> mostly because i dont need to as i get all the stuff i need for free from clients old systems they are disposing of
[07:30] <Sithe> How do I install the fglrx driver?
[07:30] <astro76> Gh0st, type free -m
[07:30] <CheeseGardener> http://pastebin.com/d1e135e23
[07:30] <|_ocke> and partially because i can barely afford rent and electricity, let alone food and comptuer parts :P
[07:30] <CheeseGardener> Could someone tell me what that says, more or less?
[07:30] <n2diy> CheeseGardener: looking
[07:30] <Gh0st> Astro: In terminal?
[07:31] <astro76> Gh0st, yeah
[07:31] <kyncani> |_ocke: :) well, here, old equipments are vax, old unixes and alpha. And i can afford equipment :)
[07:32] <|_ocke> right now im running an athlonxp 3000+ at 2.1ghz, 512mb DDR, 80gb HD, a 256mb nvidia fx5500, all of it i got free
[07:32] <Gh0st> Astro: Is it my Total Mem?
[07:32] <titleB> what does it mean u need to be identified to join that channel?
[07:32] <astro76> Gh0st, yes
[07:32] <p1ls> geek what about one that shows u files of website
[07:32] <n2diy> CheeseGardener: I don't understand the command sequence "time fsck"?
[07:32] <Gh0st> Astro & Geek_: Ok, then my total is 438. So...876 MB?
[07:32] <kyncani> |_ocke: well, i think you would be more confortable with some more ram
[07:32] <|_ocke> i have about 25 or 30 other 10-80gb HDs in a box, 6 or 7 towers of varying states of disassembly, and like 10 processors, dozens of video, sound, and network cards, and whatever other junk you can imagine
[07:33] <Ayabara> I'm trying to upgrade from feisty to gutsy. I run ' gksudo "update-manager -d", and the output is::
[07:33] <Ayabara> gksudo "update-manager -d"
[07:33] <Ayabara> warning: could not initiate dbus
[07:33] <Ayabara> current dist not found in meta-release file
[07:33] <|_ocke> kyncani, oh i know i would, but dont have the budget :P
[07:33] <|_ocke> i have liek 5GB of PC100 and 133 :D
[07:33] <CheeseGardener> time fsck just tells you how much time elapsed in the output
[07:33] <astro76> titleB, http://www.wikihow.com/Register-a-User-Name-on-Freenode
[07:33] <kyncani> |_ocke: steal it (kidding)
[07:33] <|_ocke> but i just got the second 256mb DDR chip like 2 months ago
[07:33] <|_ocke> was on 256 for awhile, that was when i was having the swapping problems
[07:33] <kyncani> |_ocke: i must say kde with 2G ram is something else :)
[07:33] <n2diy> CheeseGardener: ok, so, what is the problem, besides the error message?
[07:34] <sauvin> KDE with only a single gig is //nice//.
[07:34] <Geek_> Gh0st: its a matter of preference really ;), my main ubuntu rig is 1 gb ram so i hardly need any
[07:34] <travellingSalesM> hi, can someone help me to set my default video output? i have all the video plugins but mplayer, totem, realplayer all of them just show me a blue screen with sound
[07:34] <Gh0st> Geek_: So..should I just make it 1gb for precaution?
[07:35] <|_ocke> i actually have 2 swap partitions on separate drives, the first is 450MB, the second is 4Gb
[07:35] <Geek_> Gh0st: 1 gb isn't overkill so it should be fine
[07:35] <|_ocke> i swapon the 4gb one when i notice slowness and swap usage
[07:35] <CheeseGardener> there is an error message?
[07:35] <|_ocke> Gh0st, definitely 1gb
[07:35] <Gh0st> Geek_ : Ok... And...Grr...It says too small of size.
[07:35] <CheeseGardener> I thought it fixed the errors, I put -p in for it to fix the errors.
[07:36] <Gh0st> Geek_: Should I try 1.5gb?
[07:36] <Geek_> Gh0st: try 2

[07:38] <CheeseGardener> did it fix them n2diy?
[07:38] <Gh0st> Geek_: Wait...It shows, as the third partition (one I made in Vista): Device - /dev/sda3, Type - Swap, Mount Point - Blank, Format? - Box, Size - 10485 MB (?!), Used - 3200...Is that right?
[07:38] <n2diy> CheeseGardener: I don't know, is your system working?
[07:38] <CheeseGardener> I guess so yes
[07:38] <ari_stress2> hi, anyone here works at dubai?
[07:39] <CheeseGardener> I haven't had any problems
[07:39] <Geek_> o0
[07:39] <Gh0st> Geek_: I noticed that when I chose to 'Use as...' Swap, it automatically changed it to 3200.
[07:39] <n2diy> CheeseGardener: Ok, so don't sweat it, enjoy.
[07:39] <Geek_> sounds like you made the whole thing swap?
[07:39] <whezler> how do you alter the hosts file?

It seems like my system with nividia NEVER has a problem, but my Intel box always does.
[07:40] <Gh0st> Tritium: Sorry. >.< Will not happen again.
[07:40] <tocer> hello everyone. how to open a new tab in exist gnome-terminal from command line, not press <ctrl>-<shift>-t in gnome-terminal

[07:40] <Geek_> ....
[07:40] <luyi> kk
[07:40] <whezler> hate to repeat myself
[07:40] <whezler> but how do you alter the hosts file?
[07:40] <tritium> Geek_: hmm, okay, thanks.
[07:40] <Geek_> yanno, there might be an easier way Gh0st
[07:41] <whezler> I realize full well it's pretty late most places, and yet unrealistically want someone to solve the problem I need fixed as soon as possible :x
[07:41] <Gh0st> Geek_: Ok...So, it's back to normal. Size is still 0485 MB and used is stil 3200MB.
[07:41] <astro76> whezler, what are you using to edit?

[07:47] <Geek_> click on format box for the partitions you want to install linux on
[07:47] <Astra> OK !!!!!! Thanks to you
[07:47] <Geek_> no... wait
[07:47] <indigoparadox> I have a Xerox Phaser 6100 which I'm trying to coax into working on 6.06,
[07:47] <Geek_> you need to resize right?
[07:47] <orbisvicis> hmm ... /join #ubuntu-sr
[07:47] <Gh0st> I do...But it does nothing.
[07:47] <Gh0st> Um...I don't really now.
[07:47] <Gh0st> What you see in that pic is what I have right now.
[07:47] <orbisvicis> !rs | astra
[07:47] <ubot3> Factoid rs not found
[07:48] <Geek_> its ru
[07:48] <Geek_> maybe SU ;p
[07:48] <Astra> Please sorry for my stupid question i am first time here!!!
[07:48] <Gh0st> Huh?
[07:48] <tritium> Astra: no worries :)
[07:48] <Geek_> Gh0st: er... are the partitions correct sizewise?
[07:48] <Gh0st> As in..how I made them in Windows?
[07:48] <Gh0st> Yeah.
[07:49] <Geek_> no, as in "are they how you want them"
[07:49] <ramlinux> sa
[07:49] <m4st3r> anyone has x-chat python scripts? Give me plz.... just use study
[07:49] <Gh0st> Um...Let me say it this way, I WANT them how I NEED them.
[07:50] <Geek_> ahh
[07:50] <Gh0st> The third partition, 10gb, is the one I made for Linux.
[07:50] <Geek_> click on new partition table then
[07:50] <Gh0st> Ok.
[07:50] <Smirker_> what's a good IDE for writing ANSI C / C++
[07:50] <Gh0st> All current partitions will be removed, continue?
[07:50] <Geek_> o0
[07:50] <Geek_> NO
[07:50] <Gh0st> You have selected an entire device to partition. If you proceed with creating a new partition table on the device, then all current partitions will be removed.
[07:50] <Geek_> ...
[07:51] <Geek_> no no..
[07:51] <Geek_> no
[07:51] <Gh0st> lmao
[07:51] <Geek_> gah
[07:51] <Geek_> *thinks*
[07:51] <Geek_> dosen't it have gparted seperate?
[07:51] <b_9> why doesn't this work?                          for song in *.mp3; do mplayer $song; done
[07:51] <b_9> kinda works, but not like I expected
[07:51] <bullgard4> English help wanted: What does mean 'to page' in man more: "More is a filter for paging through text one screenful at a time."
[07:51] <Geek_> (sorry, its been a while... i think i used gparted FIRST the last time"
[07:51] <Gh0st> Hm...Let me see if this is what you're looking for.
[07:51] <lione> where to find zaptel.ko
[07:51] <Gh0st> Let me send you a pic again.
[07:51] <m4st3r> anyone has x-chat python scripts? i want them....
[07:51] <Geek_> no no
[07:51] <Geek_> i get
[07:52] <Geek_> close that first
[07:52] <Gh0st> Ok.
[07:52] <Gh0st> Close Install?
[07:52] <Geek_> go see if there's gparted there
[07:52] <Geek_> yeah
[07:52] <Gh0st> Ok.
[07:52] <tritium> !enter
[07:52] <ubot3> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[07:52] <Gh0st> Um...hold on.
[07:52] <Geek_> tritium: erm, we're not ;)
[07:52] <tritium> Geek_: scroll up ;)
[07:53] <Gh0st> Where would I find gparted?
[07:53] <thoreauputic> tritium: the trend in articulate speech in #ubuntu is downwards :)
[07:53] <tritium> thoreauputic: agreed
[07:53] <Geek_> its there. alternately see if you can start it from shell
[07:53] <bullgard4> I am looking for a better alternatve for OO.o Base. The OO. Base frontend does not provide a keyboard shortcut for 'Go to the next record', 'Go to the last record', 'Go to the previous record'. The 'Search for a record' keyboard shortcut Ctrl+F only opens if the cursor is prevously placed at certain screen areas. 43000 records, GUI mandatory.
[07:57] (thoreauputic/#ubuntu) !fr
[07:57] (ubot3/#ubuntu) Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[07:57] (Bogus8/#ubuntu) I think it's related to compiz
[07:57] (frenchie/#ubuntu) merci :)
[07:57] (locke_/#ubuntu) so no i have commandline working but no GUI :D
[07:57] (gonzoism/#ubuntu) this is starting to get to me.  my box is constantly freezing up when i run ubuntu.  when i run slackware or linux-from-scratch, it doesn't lock up.  i like ubuntu best, except for the constant freezing.  it freezes maybe 8 times an hour. for 2 to 5 minutes.   it is enough to drive someone insane.  can someone help me ?
[07:57] (gdb/#ubuntu) bullgard4: PostgreSQL or MySQL (ie; probably beyond the scope of the problem you're seeking to solve).  I don't think there's anything non-SQL that's going to beat OO.o Base on Linux.
[07:57] (Gh0st/#ubuntu) Geek_: You said 1 Gb for basic, right?
[07:58] (m4st3r/#ubuntu) <kyncani>//recommand perl than python?
[07:58] (Geek_/#ubuntu) Gh0st: swap?
[07:58] (Gh0st/#ubuntu) Geek_:
[07:58] (kyncani/#ubuntu) m4st3r: don't know about perl
[07:58] (Gh0st/#ubuntu) Yes.
[07:58] (locke_/#ubuntu) Gh0st yes use 1gb
[07:58] (Geek_/#ubuntu) yeah.
[07:58] (Sithe/#ubuntu) Guys im having MAJOR problems
[07:58] (Gh0st/#ubuntu) Ok.
[07:58] (locke_/#ubuntu) that will be fine
[07:58] (Greg/#ubuntu) Gonzoism the easiest answer to that question is try different hardware =]
[07:58] (kyncani/#ubuntu) m4st3r: i mean, scripting xchat
[07:58] <Greg> or a different version of ubuntu.
[07:58] <Sithe> Can someone help me with a video driver problem?
[07:58] <m4st3r> kyncani:ok
[07:58] <sauvin> I can't "recommend" anything against python because I don't know anything about it. I know perl is pretty darned capable.
[07:58] <Greg> perhaps even kubuntu
[07:58] <gonzoism> greg.  no is a much easier answer.
[07:59] <locke_> kubuntu is nice
[07:59] <locke_> try it
[07:59] <Greg> well in that case try 6.06 instead of 7
[07:59] <Gh0st> Ok. Now what? I have 1000 MiB Linux-swap. And, now a 9 GiB unallocated partition.
[07:59] <locke_> i was running ubuntu and was dead set against using KDE, but ive since switched and am very happy.. except for the fact that i cant use it right now and my video drivers wont install right
[08:00] <kyncani> sauvin: 1~2 years ago, the entire xchat python module documentation would fit on one not-so-big html page ...
[08:00] <gonzoism> i've tried kubuntu.  no difference. its not the wm freezing.  its either the kernel, or maybe something to do with
[08:00] <gonzoism> HALd
[08:00] <locke_> Gh0st for christ sake allocate the rest and sue it
[08:00] <locke_> use it
[08:00] <locke_> as /home or something
[08:00] <Gh0st> >.<
[08:00] <gnuskool> gonzoism, how long does it freeze? gnome or kde, anything in the logs?
[08:00] <bullgard4> gdb: I don't understand you well. My problem is rather simple: The frontend of OO.o Base is insufficient. Does have PostgreSQL a graphical frontend? Does MySQL have a graphical frontend?
[08:00] <Geek_> ghost: allocate the rest to ext3 ...
[08:00] <Geek_> BRB
[08:00] <locke_> bullgard4 there are graphical frontends
[08:00] <locke_> bullgard4 i dont know anything about them though
[08:00] <saylar> bullgard4, try phpmyadmin
[08:00] <Gh0st> Geek_: Ok.
[08:00] <saylar> it is in the repositories
[08:01] <Gh0st> locke_: Should I use round to Cylinders?
[08:01] <spiderfire> hello
[08:01] <gdb> bullgard4: I understand that, no, and no.  I'll summarize: I think you need to either find a way to map keys in OO.o Base to do what you want, or send in a feature request to the developers and use a non-Linux solution in the meantime.
[08:01] <gonzoism> gnuskool yeah,  dmesg gives me ata1 errors. similiar to: [286321.260000]           res 40/00:03:00:00:00/00:00:00:00:00/b0 Emask 0x4 (timeout)
[08:01] <Greg> in that cas gonzoism try a different version of ubuntu
[08:01] <Greg> out of the 6 versions I've installed only 4 worked on my laptop
[08:01] <astro76> Gh0st, yes round to cylinders
[08:01] <gonzoism> gnuskool i think it is specifically the sda drivers in the kernel.
[08:01] <locke_> Gh0st sure
[08:01] <Sithe> Can someone experianced with video drivers help me?
[08:02] <e-Hernick> Sithe: explain your problem
[08:02] <astro76> !ask | Sithe
[08:02] <ubot3> Sithe: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:02] <gdb> bullgard4: I hate to be a naysayer, but I don't think there's Linux software that's going to give you what OO.o Base does + have that feature you're wanting.
[08:02] <spiderfire> how can install flash and java into amd64
[08:02] <Gh0st> Locke_: Also, I'm sorry I have so many questions. But, I'm new to Linux, as was told by several reliable sources to start with Ubuntu.
[08:02] <Gh0st> Astro: Thanks.
[08:02] <e-Hernick> Gh0st: Ubuntu is a good choice.
[08:02] <Gh0st> *and was
[08:02] <sauvin> The entire xchat perl interface documentation, last time I looked, was a medium-sized HTML page. It's enough if you already know the language.
[08:02] <gonzoism> Sithe i've been using video drivers as long as i have been using computers, what is your question ?
[08:02] <linux_> how i can clear all the command from ALT + F2 ?
[08:02] <locke_> Gh0st absolutely, ubuntu is a great ploace to start
[08:02] <astro76> Gh0st, that's what this channel is here for
[08:02] <Gh0st> e-Hernick: Thanks. I think so, too.
[08:03] <e-Hernick> linux_: you want to remove the command history so that other people cannot see them?
[08:03] <weredragon> Whats the best IRC client for Linux?
[08:03] <weredragon> In your opinion
[08:03] <linux_> e-Hernick ,yes
[08:03] <Sithe> gonzoism: My monitor is 1680x1050.. But that is not an option in screen resolution. I have added it my xorg.conf too
[08:03] <Ster-izzle> someone enlighten me: why is every room full of people but like 5 talk?
[08:03] <locke_> weredragon that is a very subjective question
[08:03] <e-Hernick> weredragon: there's no such thing as "best".. I use Konversation right now, but I also like KVirc and irssi
[08:03] <Gh0st> To all: So, 1 GB Linu-sxap and 9 Gb ext3. Apply?
[08:03] <e-Hernick> Gh0st: yes
[08:03] <sauvin> weredragon, xchat.
[08:03] <gonzoism> Sithe intel card ?
[08:03] <Ster-izzle> mmh
[08:03] <Toma-> weredragon: anything that supports text input :) (xchat for gui, irssi for console)
[08:04] <Sithe> gonzoism ATI Radeon X800 GTO
[08:04] <gnuskool> gonzoism, sorry mate, not sure
[08:04] <gonzoism> Sithe laptop ?
[08:04] <locke_> weredragon in many peoples opinion, bitchx is the best irc client, or irssi, but those are commandline only, in others opinion xchat is, and in still others, gaim/pidgin or kopete is the best
[08:04] <thoreauputic> Ster-izzle: some are working but on line, some are away from the keyboard, some are just lurking...
[08:04] <kyncani> sauvin: well, i was just expecting a more mature api :)
[08:04] <astro76> weredragon, the most popular in here are definitely xchat and irssi
[08:04] <Sithe> gonzoism Desktop
[08:04] <locke_> weredragon depends what your style is
[08:04] <Sithe> gonzoism ATI Radeon X800
[08:04] <koshari> weredragon iam using gaim, i dont know that its the best but its installed by default so why not use it
[08:04] <e-Hernick> yeah, xchat is a good value
[08:04] <e-Hernick> very popular, very mature
[08:04] <locke_> /me is using bitchx right now
[08:04] <sauvin> The "api" itself is in its second generation. The documentation could use a bit of polish, yes, but it's apparently all there, you just have to read it.
[08:04] <spiderfire> can i install flash into firefox64?
[08:04] <gnuskool> weredragon, i use xchat, good if youre noob
[08:04] <gdb> weredragon: irssi since it's the best tty client there is, and being tty based, can be run under screen.  as for graphical ones, xchat is the "standard" but sort of stinks.  i liked kvirc (while loathing KDE) but i'm not sure it's around anymore.  i've not used konversation
[08:05] <linux_> e-Hernick , how i can do this ?
[08:05] <gonzoism> Sithe so you added it to your xorg.conf, did you ctrl-alt-backspace ?  did it work ?
[08:05] <Sithe> Nope.
[08:05] <locke_> konversation is ok, but xchat is better
[08:05] <gonzoism> Sithe   i saw something about this the other day.  lemme go back and look for it
[08:05] <e-Hernick> linux_: good question.. under GNOME or KDE?
[08:05] <weredragon> Well then
[08:05] <weredragon> ok.
[08:05] <Sithe> gonzoism alright. Im using the fglrx driver btw.
[08:06] <astro76> spiderfire, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AMD64/FirefoxAndPlugins
[08:06] <kyncani> sauvin: well, i managed to do what i wanted, but it felt very under-documented
[08:06] <locke_> so does anyone have any idea how i could get these nvidia drivers installed being that running the driver from nvidia.com errors to hell and doesnt work
[08:06] <bullgard4> gdb: Understood. I already discussed the problem with a representative of Sun's OO.o Base. He also said I should put a feature request to the OO.o Base developers. But I cannot wait until they have improved the OO.o Base frontend. This database is my main application program.
[08:06] <sauvin> kyncani, yes, it's minimally documented.
[08:06] <e-Hernick> bullgard4: are you able to reach those buttons using the tab key?
[08:06] <linux_> e-Hernick , gnome
[08:06] <bullgard4> e-Hernick: No, I am not.
[08:07] <Gh0st> To all: I got this when I tried to Apply - http://i16.tinypic.com/4qsw8rq
[08:07] <gnuskool> weredragon, best thing really is to try out till you feel happy
[08:07] <e-Hernick> bullgard4: lemme load oo base.. How do I reproduce this quickly?
[08:08] <bullgard4> e-Hernick: You would have to make a form where you can manipulate the data in the underlying table.
[08:08] <GothCloud> Wow... a lot of people in here
[08:09] <Gh0st> Any solutions?
[08:09] <Sithe> Wow... I wish I could get WoW to work lol..
[08:09] <e-Hernick> bullgard4: I suppose you've searched the net.. did you find anybody else with your problem?
[08:09] <nalpha> guys anybody can help me? my Ubuntu Desktop can't be right click? what happen? this situation begun when I tryng to connect to my NAS TS-201 but had compatibility problem cause I'm connect with samba script to folder that I make in Desktop? sry for the english. thanx
[08:09] <gdb> bullgard4: Yeah, I'm really sorry about that.  I hope that they're able to get that feature in there.  You might investigate some real SQL RDBMS systems (PostgreSQL, MySQL) that have some graphical management software (MySQL's is better, but PostgreSQL is generally considered the better RDBMS).  I don't know that that will meet your needs, and the migration to that would likely be outside the scope of your problem.
[08:09] <d0lph1nK1ng> how do i kill a program running on port 500?
[08:09] <frenchie> :'(
[08:09] <d0lph1nK1ng> i don't know what program it is that is running on port 500
[08:10] <GothCloud> A backround program.
[08:10] <Sithe> background prog
[08:10] <Sithe> ohh.. goth beat me to it!
[08:10] <e-Hernick> d0lph1nK1ng: maybe netstat can help you find it
[08:10] <kyncani> d0lph1nK1ng: netstat and lsof can help you find it
[08:11] <Sithe> gonzoism any luck?
[08:11] <Gh0st> I received an error when trying to apply. http://i16.tinypic.com/4qsw8rq
[08:11] <d0lph1nK1ng> thanks guys
[08:11] <gonzoism> Sithe
[08:11] <Sithe> gonzoism yes?
[08:11] <e-Hernick> kyncani: how would you use netstat and lsof to tell what program is using what TCP socket?
[08:11] <gonzoism> Sithe   i'm this far so far.  i couldn't find what i was looking at yesterday.  http://ubuntuforums.org/search.php?searchid=25161467
[08:11] <aba_ec> netstat -apn
[08:12] <kyncani> e-Hernick: I meant or, s/and/or/
[08:12] <bullgard4> Is phpmyadmin a graphical tool?
[08:12] <aba_ec> could give you the PID of the process using a TCP/UDP port
[08:12] <Sithe> gonzoism Do you need help looking?
[08:12] <e-Hernick> aba_ec: that would work fine
[08:12] <gonzoism> Sithe  that is just a search on the forums.    i'm gonna give up here. :)  sorry i didn't fix it for you. :)  sorry i wasn't more help
[08:12] <e-Hernick> what do you need lsof for, then
[08:12] <Sithe> Alright
[08:12] <linux_> so how i can delete the histary of alt + f2 ?
[08:13] <aba_ec> run "netstat -apn" as root
[08:13] <e-Hernick> aba_ec: well, d0lphinking is gone
[08:13] <gnuskool> bullgard4, it is,check the wiki for info
[08:13] <kyncani> e-Hernick: well, it's a matter of taste really
[08:13] <e-Hernick> I don't even have lsof installed
[08:13] <bullgard4> e-Hernick: I am subscribing to the mailing list<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[08:13] <e-Hernick> I like fuser
[08:14] <gonzoism> Sithe you might try asking again.  ati is common.  maybe someone will kknow.   try making a short simple question. :)
[08:14] <e-Hernick> actually, I do have lsof installed in sbin..
[08:14] <e-Hernick> nice output
[08:15] <Sithe> My screen resolution wont go to my monitor resolution. Can anyone help?
[08:15] <Gh0st> What is ntfsresize with the -i option?
[08:15] <bullgard4> gnuskool: Do you mean the Ubuntu wiki in order to check for phpmyadmin?
[08:15] <aba_ec> e-Hernick: try "sudo netstat -tapn"
[08:15] <Gh0st> That's what the error tells me to use.
[08:15] <linux_> so how i can delete the histary of alt + f2 ? []
[08:15] <aba_ec> would give you a shorter output
[08:15] <MasterShrek> anyoen ever played uplink: hacker elite?
[08:15] <MasterShrek> game is awesome =P
[08:16] <gonzoism> linux_  what is logging out to it ?
[08:16] <Sithe> My screen resolution wont go to my monitor resolution. Can anyone help?
[08:16] <Cypher21> My windows side like the x botton and stuff is gone
[08:16] <e-Hernick> Sithe: you're not being specific enough.
[08:16] <nalpha> MasterShrek: what version of UpliNk?
[08:16] <kyncani> e-Hernick: for opened ports, it's lsof's -i option
[08:16] <e-Hernick> Sithe: describe your problem correctly
[08:16] <linux_> gonzoism  , what ? []
[08:16] <MasterShrek> nalpha, i dunno, im looking for my cd lol
[08:16] <nalpha> MasterShrek: I had playing Uplink several years ago. And there is a big bug on it.
[08:16] <kahrytan> !qemu
[08:16] <ubot3> qemu is an emulator you can use to run another operating system - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsXPUnderQemuHowTo
[08:17] <Cypher21> Emerald is mess up and now i do not have any window corners
[08:17] <e-Hernick> Sithe: in one short sentence you should be able to say what version of ubuntu you're running, your video card, the driver you're using, the screen resolution you want to use.. wheter or not you've tried to do anything to xorg.conf..
[08:17] <gonzoism> linux_ one way you can is: clear> /dev/tty2  i think.
[08:17] <MasterShrek> really?
[08:17] <|_ocke> ARGHHHHH
[08:17] <ggoogi> can i have users B, C, D, & E under A user who is not a root user?
[08:17] <e-Hernick> Sithe: don't just say that it's not working. Tell us what's wrong, and what you've tried.
[08:17] <gonzoism> linux_ yeah,  sudo clear>/dev/tty2
[08:17] <Cypher21> How do i get my ubuntu to work again? Emerald is messed up and i can't seem to find a way to fix it
[08:17] <e-Hernick> gonzoism: I don't think that's what he wants to do
[08:18] <Sir_Fawnpug> Has anybody gotten the chance to try Ubuntu Studio yet?
[08:18] <jetscreamer> you can nuke all the .gstuff in ~
[08:18] <gonzoism> linux_  you want stuff to stop writing to it ?
[08:18] <e-Hernick> gonzoism: he's got a command history in the "Run Command" dialogue that appears when he presses alt-F2 in gnome.. and he wants to clear the command history
[08:18] <aba_ec> linux_: alt+f2 is the tty2?
[08:18] <astro76> ggoogi, users you add after the first are not added to admin group by default, so they will not be able to sudo
[08:18] <Cypher21> :(
[08:18] <Sithe> e-Hernick: Ubuntu Fiesty, ATI Radeon X800, Current resolution: 1024x768, Wanted resolution: 1680x1050
[08:18] <Cypher21> :'(
[08:18] <MasterShrek> what kinda bug nalpha ?
[08:18] <e-Hernick> Sithe: have you tried to edit your xorg.conf
[08:18] <bnnagabhushan> 8-)
[08:18] <Gh0st> 'You must specify exactly one device.'
[08:18] <Gh0st> How do I specify the partition?
[08:19] <Sithe> e-Hernick: Yes.
[08:19] <e-Hernick> Sithe: can you paste your xorg.conf on a pastebin
[08:19] <gonzoism> e-Hernick ah.  i   damnit
[08:19] <gonzoism> IT FOZE AGAIN.
[08:19] <gonzoism> THIS IS SO IRRITATING !!!
[08:19] <gonzoism> i can't deal with this.
[08:19] <gonzoism> this is unacceptable.
[08:19] <aba_ec> there is a file called ~/.bash_history. There are all the commands you've executed in bash
[08:19] <koshari> i cant see the big deal of ubuntu studio, after all its just a black theme with a few preinstalled proggies,
[08:19] <linux_> aba_ec , i have delete tty2 and this is not clear the history
[08:19] <Sithe> e-Hernick: I haven't edited it since I last re-installed xorg. Want me to try again?
[08:19] <e-Hernick> gonzoism: you're lagging? try connecting to another server
[08:19] <lockd> ggoogi: what, you mean can you have users "belong" to other users?
[08:20] <gonzoism> linux_ echo hi > ~/.bash_history
[08:20] <Sithe> e-Hernick: But last time I tried it didn't work
[08:20] <gonzoism> e-Hernick no lag.  ubuntu keeps freezing
[08:20] <lockd> ggoogi: or what do you mean by "A" user under B C D, etc
[08:20] <e-Hernick> Sithe: yes, I want you to make sure that in Section "Screen", Subsection "Display", you've got Modes "1680x1050" in there
[08:20] <Cypher21> HOW DO I GET EMERALD to work again? none of the themes load and i can't do anything
[08:20] <nalpha> MasterShrek: the bug is when we accept for job, and they pay half of the sallary first, we can try it always, so we can get money just with accepting and dealing job without need to do the job
[08:20] <Sithe> e-Hernick: Alright. Doing that now
[08:20] <bnnagabhushan> how to use yahoo voice chat?????????
[08:20] <e-Hernick> Sithe: pasting your xorg.conf to a site like pastebin.ca is the next step
[08:20] <MasterShrek> oh i spose nalpha lol never thought of that
[08:20] <Sithe> e-Hernick: I understand
[08:20] <MasterShrek> but dont u get a bad rating for that or something?
[08:20] <e-Hernick> gonzoism: freezing? Any clue what is the source of the freeze?
[08:21] <linux_> gonzoism , hi > ~/.bash_history this is command ?
[08:21] <gonzoism> linux_  no.  echo.    echo anything>.bash_history
[08:21] <Sithe> e-Hernick: does it matter if it is at the begging or the end of the resolutions?
[08:21] <gonzoism> linux_ echo > ~/.bash_history
[08:21] <e-Hernick> Sithe: it should be the first
