[22:39] <Jaffarkelshac> i am getting an IOPl not enabled error when trying to use office with wine (it worked previously)
[22:39] <nouvo> it's horrible zyx386
[22:39] <poisonkiller> Yooshi: when you have killed all processes, you cant stop ubuntu from using more :S
[22:39] <apophis> ¨!
[22:39] <nouvo> i made a mistake with the eat process
[22:40] <xbj9000> bluefoxx, I was just going to tell you to install xorg-driver-fglrx    :p
[22:40] <Jaffarkelshac> i am getting an IOPl not enabled error when trying to use office with wine (it worked previously)
[22:40] <bluefoxx> xbj9000: ah, well thanks everyone :)
[22:40] <legend2440> K^Holtz:  in synaptic there is package called  mtink. it works well to tell me how much ink is left in my epson. according to the description it may work for canon and hp as well. worth a try i guess
[22:40] <K^Holtz> vocx: Canon measures im pretty sure, the cartridges are always bone dry when im told to replace them (they are clear so i can see). Its no big deal, maybe ill search around for some linux drivers on their site
[22:40] <nouvo> it's horrible
[22:40] <aditya1> funkyHat: u there ?
[22:40] <amenado> whose done gre tunnelling ? is it worth the while or have to go with openvn tunnelling?
[22:40] <xbj9000> bluefoxx did you try that?
[22:40] <K^Holtz> legend2440: thank you
[22:41] <poisonkiller> Jaffarkelshac: use #winehq channel for wine-related questions please
[22:41] <bluefoxx> xbj9000: its downloading now...im on dialup
[22:41] <poisonkiller> Jaffarkelshac: you will probably get better answers there :)
[22:41] <notluke> Anyone know where to find a list of gnutls ciphers?  I can't seem to get slapd to work becaues I don't know how to format the cipher list.
[22:41] <Jaffarkelshac> i will give that a try
[22:41] <xbj9000> it sounds like maybe you don't have ubuntu-restricted-extras, which I believe includes fglrx
[22:42] <xbj9000> sorry that was to bluefoxx
[22:42] <nouvo> my condoleances
[22:42] <AquaFox> I have a reeeally wide wallpaper. I want it to stretch to my 4 desktops (if I ctrl+alt+right I see more of it). How to do that?
[22:42] <K^Holtz> legend2440: unfortunately my IP5000 isnt supported. Ill search around for similar programs tho
[22:43] <apophis> !offtopic | nouvo
[22:43] <nouvo> hi ubottu
[22:43] <xbj9000> aquafox maybe you can just separate the image into 4 sections and use one with each desktop
[22:43] <legend2440> K^Holtz: http://www.linux.com/feature/123734
[22:43] <nouvo> welcome
[22:43] <whileimhere> Aquafox I would love to know that one myself
[22:43] <vocx> K^Holtz, synaptic and apt are really great tools. There seems to be a another one, or maybe is the same: "ink"
[22:43] <funkyHat> aditya1: yes, make sure you're VERY careful when you're selecting which partition you want to install Windows on though. And come back on here when you've booted into the live CD and I (or someone) can talk you through reinstalling GRUB
[22:43] <bluefoxx> xbj9000: no, restricted-extras is indeed installed
[22:43] <AquaFox> xbj9000, does gnome have a feature of a wallpaper per desktop :O?
[22:43] <notluke> nm, found it.  "gnutls-cli -l", though it doesn't appear to have any group options that I can see, like "HIGH".
[22:44] <xbj9000> aquafox I'm not sure, but I know KDE does
[22:44] <AquaFox> :)
[22:44] <nouvo> what is ubuntu's hit?
[22:44] <AquaFox> Thanks.
[22:45] <xbj9000> aquafox on quick checking I didn't find an option for different backgrounds
[22:45] <aditya1> funkyHat: last time i lost all the data, i dont want to lose data this time, i'll 1st install xp then boot ubuntu from live cd, ok ?
[22:45] <rainabba> with FF3 final, how do I explicitly allow popups for a domain?
[22:45] <apophis> nouvo, do you need help? If not you are welcome in the ubuntu offtopic channel #ubuntu-offtopic
[22:45] <AquaFox> xbj9000, thanks :).
[22:46] <nouvo> ah ok
[22:46] <hanophix33> can anyone tell me why flash videos in firefox look very framey or looks like they have "blinds" coming down
[22:46] <tarelerulz> Is a way just to  rewrite the os files themself and not the whole partition. So if you broke the os you could just restore it and keep all the say movies , picture , song , etc personal files on there.
[22:46] <funkyHat> aditya1: yes, be careful when windows is asking you where to install itself, if it hasn't asked you before it says it's copying files or it's started installing, don't let it continue!
[22:46] <nouvo> thank you
[22:46] <funkyHat> aditya1: in fact, if you delete the FAT partition from Linux, you can tell Windows to fill the unused space I think
[22:46] <xbj9000> linux Flash is not well done and tends to run poorly
[22:47] <apophis> tarelerulz, you want to resize a partition? gparted can do that with certain filesytems
[22:47] <vocx> tarelerulz, copy the files you want to an external drive and reinstall. Usually you'd copy your /home
[22:47] <aditya1>  funkyHat: ok, thank you!!! see you soon
[22:47] <hanophix33> xbj9000:  any fixes
[22:47] <poisonkiller> AquaFox: try splitting that wallpaper into 4 pieces
[22:48] <xbj9000> hanophix33 I'm not sure, my PC is fast enough to run it anyway
[22:48] <nouvo> i got an amstrad
[22:48] <poisonkiller> AquaFox: and then you can apply every piece to corresponding virtual desktop
[22:48] <apophis> hanophix33, running compiz?
[22:48] <xbj9000> poisonkiller, we thought of that but gnome doesn't seem to have an option for different backgrounds on different desks
[22:48] <blumm> hi :)
[22:49] <legend2440> K^Holtz: ink should work for you. it is a frontend for Libinklevel which lists your printer as supported
[22:49] <vocx> tarelerulz, it is a smart move to setup a different partition only for your data in case you need to reinstall. Although in many cases, configuration of programs can be restored by simply copying the hidden files in /home
[22:49] <poisonkiller> xbj9000: you can use that compiz 3d cube
[22:49] <anteaya> what is hald and why does it take up so much of my cpu?
[22:49] <xbj9000> ah right hanophix33, turning off desktop effects might help
[22:49] <blumm> is it possible to setup eye of gnome to adjust the size of the viewer to the size of the picture, when opened?
[22:49] <tarelerulz> I know there is a way to just rewrite the os files in windows and I am sure there is way in Ubuntu.  Take Fedora could I could reinstall grub with the installer cd .  I mean all break the os itself at times and just need to over write those files
[22:49] <kidsfinkter> Hi - I get this error when I try to log in to my Ubuntu 8.04 machine: "The GNOME session manager was unable to lock the file 'home/pete/.ICEauthority'." have tried the fixes here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3261023&postcount=10 and here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=5075875&postcount=14 --- can anyone help me?
[22:49] <lufis> Has anyone had any luck trying to connect to the newer models of the razr v3? None of the p2k apps work with my phone.
[22:50] <K^Holtz> legend2440: yea, im in the process of downloading it now
[22:50] <K^Holtz> thanks
[22:50] <vocx> tarelerulz, well, restoring grub is not restoring the whole OS as you may think, but you can do it too in ubuntu
[22:50] <funkyHat> kidsfinkter: can you get to a login shell on the machine and check using df for free space on your / (or /home) partition?
[22:50] <vocx> !grub | tarelerulz
[22:51] <hanophix33> xbj9000: does the newly released flash help?
[22:51] <xbj9000> for some people it seems to yes
[22:51] <xbj9000> are you running on older hardware?
[22:51] <kidsfinkter> funkyHal: plenty of free space on /dev/sda1 - only used 38% of ~70GB drive
[22:52] <hanophix33> xbj9000:  yes and with desktop effects on
[22:52] <incorrect> what package has apache2-ssl-certificate?
[22:52] <xbj9000> did you try turning the effects off, hanophix33?
[22:52] <tarelerulz> Vocx I  know grub is just the boot loader ,but I was just saying it was easy to reintall it.   I have never seen such as option in Ubuntu's install cd.  The reason I ask about all this is broke my windows install and I  made me thing about maybe I should look into back up Ubuntu so that can't happen to me on here.  It is my main os.
[22:52] <hanophix33> xbj9000:  no, didnt think that would have anything to do with it
[22:53] <xbj9000> well it could free up some CPU for Flash
[22:53] <george> free
[22:53] <hanophix33> i see
[22:54] <xbj9000> also hanophix33, are you trying to browse youtube by any chance?
[22:54] <hyppias> is wammu useful to connect to a nokia 6021 ?
[22:54] <vocx> tarelerulz, I have a hard time reading your post. Anyway, you can reinstall grub with "update-grub", but as you say, with the install CD as with fedora, no. But maybe with the grub cd.
[22:54] <Li-Plus> can anyone help me figure out why the nvidia kernel module isn't building with the nvidia program to automate the process
[22:55] <purplestar> is there a FTP client for Hardy?
[22:55] <xbj9000> gftp
[22:55] <vocx> !ftp| purplestar
[22:55] <purplestar> ok great
[22:55] <purplestar> gFTP recommendd by most people?
[22:55] <xbj9000> I like it
[22:55] <vocx> !best | purplestar
[22:56] <purplestar> i know "best" is relative :)
[22:56] <apophis> oh thats a nice factoid ;D
[22:56] <blumm> purplestar: theres nothing comparable to flashfxp or ftprush in windows :/
[22:56] <tarelerulz> What is good bit torrent client?   I have Azureus ,but I broke it some how .
[22:56] <apophis> purplestar,  gFTP will suit you for a start maybe you try different ones later
[22:56] <doubled> hi, i was wondering where i can obtain foobar.
[22:56] <vocx> !torrent | tarelerulz
[22:56] <amenado> tarelerulz-> you're looking for the grub command in the iso?  you may hve to decompress the initrd to see it
[22:57] <george> how does gdesklets work?
[22:57] <|seb|> how get local changes to an installed package?
[22:57] <purplestar> is there a good HTML editor for Hardy?
[22:57] <|seb|> is there some apt-get command?
[22:57] <vocx> |seb|, what "local" changes?
[22:57] <purplestar> apophis, ok
[22:57] <amenado> tarelerulz-> or perhaps its in the squash file system
[22:57] <purplestar> apophis, is there a good HTML editor for Hardy? something similar to NVU?
[22:57] <rjre> does gFTP support recursive subdirectory transfers?
[22:57] <MrWizeGuy1983> wb Yooshi
[22:57] <|seb|> vocx: i made changes to modules.alias in the linux kernel image and want to revert them
[22:58] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983:  I've been back a few times
[22:58] <MrWizeGuy1983> you get your virtual memory sorted out yet Yooshi ?
[22:58] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983:  I know what is causing the sudden spike
[22:58] <MrWizeGuy1983> what was it?
[22:58] <purplestar> is there a good WYSIWYG HTML editor for Hardy?
[22:58] <vocx> |seb|, I'm not familiar with that term. You recompiled the kernel or what?
[22:58] <doubled> hi, i was wondering where i can obtain foobar?
[22:58] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983: not really... but gparted says I have a swap partition worth 2.9GB
[22:58] <|seb|> vocx: no i just tweaked a default install
[22:58] <kidsfinkter> funkyHat: plenty of free space on /dev/sda1 - only used 38% of ~70GB drive
[22:58] <hanophix33> xbj9000:  no ted.com
[22:58] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983: searching in nautilus suddenly hordes everything, ram, swap, cpu
[22:59] <Dasmoover> hey does anyone know how to get rid of the desktop folder?
[22:59] <|seb|> vocx: can dpkg or apt-get tell you how your install differs from virgin install?
[22:59] <MrWizeGuy1983> what does nautilus do Yooshi ?
[22:59] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983:  in other words, I can't do local search because of that
[22:59] <nickrud> |seb| you can do apt-get source <package> , you'll get the pristine source along with a diff
[22:59] <purplestar> apophis, any clue?
[22:59] <xbj9000> hanophix33: I asked because there is a youtube plugin for Totem that works well
[22:59] <Yooshi> nautilus? Thats part of your file browser and ftp
[22:59] <purplestar> IndyGunFreak, hey there
[22:59] <|seb|> nickrud: THANK YOU!!!
[22:59] <vocx> |seb|, you mean you modified a text file named modules.alias?   I don't think it can tell you, but you should be able to reinstall it.
[22:59] <IndyGunFreak> purplestar: hey...
[22:59] <MrWizeGuy1983> hmmm
[22:59] <kidsfinkter> Dasmoover: simple way is to install TweakUbuntu and use it to use the home folder as the desktop folder
[22:59] <kidsfinkter> then delete the desktop folder
[23:00] <purplestar> IndyGunFreak, you will know this :) is there a good WYSIWYG HTML editor for Hardy?
[23:00] <wabash> Does anyone here program Ruby? I'd like to find a good editor or IDE
[23:00] <MrWizeGuy1983> only using 29.3 mb on mine Yooshi does it only do it when you search?
[23:00] <Dasmoover> kidfinkter: I did, anyway to get rid of the emblem?
[23:00] <wabash> For Hardy
[23:00] <|seb|> vocx: yea
[23:00] <anteaya> doubled: you have been mis-lead.  Foobar is a dummy word to mean "your code goes here"
[23:00] <IndyGunFreak> purplestar: hmm, idont know why you'd think i'd know that...lol i think there's one...
[23:00] <xbj9000> here is another trick you can try, hanophix33: pause the flash video and let it load, then go in /tmp and you should see it in there with a name like "Flash546ghy78js.flv"
[23:00] <IndyGunFreak> !wysiwig
[23:00] <kidsfinkter> Dasmoover: what emblem where?
[23:00] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983:  thats right, if I do any searching it rips from my resources
[23:00] <purplestar> IndyGunFreak, if you remember what its called, please let me know
[23:00] <Dasmoover> on my homme folder there's the desktop emblem
[23:00] <billenium> My gnome-panels are gone... I removed them and reinstalled them but they are still gone :( Help!
[23:00] <Yooshi> MrWizeGuy1983:  I can use nautilus normally without searching though
[23:00] <apophis> purplestar, I dont know of any wysiwyg editor :)
[23:01] <peterlh> when i ssh to a machine, my term is still called<EMAIL_ADDRESS>really annoying when trying to find the right window... how come? should i install anything?
[23:01] <hanophix33> xbj9000: thanks
[23:01] <apophis> sorry
[23:01] <nickrud> !resetpanels | billenium
[23:01] <purplestar> apophis, :P
[23:01] <purplestar> !html editor
[23:01] <kidsfinkter> Dasmoover: r-click the home folder > emblems > remove the emblem --- does it really matter?
[23:01] <MrWizeGuy1983> where do you go to search? i generally go to places and search
[23:01] <IndyGunFreak> purplestar: seamonkey composer maybe?
[23:01] <vocx> |seb|, if you only modified the text file I don't see how that is such a big problem, might as well ask for the same file form another user. But I fail to see how it would be useful to read the source code for such small change.
[23:01] <IndyGunFreak> i think thats it.
[23:01] <billenium> !reset

[23:03] <IndyGunFreak> nickrud: lol, thats exhaustion coming out, some people keep me up till 3-4am asking questions..lol
[23:03] <vocx> purplestar, dude, it's obviously not the exact spelling...
[23:03] <aditya1> But I still have my doubts, whether a grub residing in the MBR can boot windows by jumping to the boot sector of the first partition...

[23:04] <xbj9000> snowie: reset?
[23:04] <eimajenthat> hello all, I was looking at the boot options in my grub menu.lst.  After the location of the kernel image, it says "ro quiet splash".  I'm guessing "quiet" suppresses some of the output, and "splash" throws up a splash screen, but doesn't "ro" usually stand for "read-only"?  What is it making read-only, and why?
[23:05] <purplestar> apophis, kompozer was exactly what I was after!  Im used to NVU on Vista and its the same as NVU :) thanks

[23:05] <xbj9000> snowie what do you mean by reset
[23:05] <purplestar> IndyGunFreak, whats KDE?

[23:05] <Snowie> as if it was new
[23:05] <IndyGunFreak> purplestar: lol, you can't be serious
[23:05] <vocx> eimajenthat, I don't exactly now either, but it seems it mounts the kernel read only so no one can modify it, or if it fails it becomes read only, something like that.

[23:07] <apophis> Elijah, ifconfig
[23:07] <nickrud> eimajenthat I'd have to watch the boot sequence again to be sure
[23:07] <IndyGunFreak> purplestar: affirmative, presuming you install all the kde dependencies(which apt-get/synaptic will do when you install it)
[23:07] <soundray> ZLemur: only the alternate CD
[23:07] <ZLemur> without messing anything up, i mean. got windows on the same hdd and don't want to break it

[23:08] <nickrud> oooh, gtoaster at one time it was almost the best, xcdroast era
[23:08] <purplestar> is gnomebacker a lot better than brasero?
[23:08] <IndyGunFreak> purplestar: they are both very good apps...i don't think you'd be disappointed with either
[23:09]  * IndyGunFreak hates brasero
[23:09] <purplestar> IndyGunFreak, ok
[23:09] <billenium> I guess i just have to reinstall ubuntu :(
[23:09] <vocx> purplestar, please no "which is best" questions, they are boring
[23:09] <xbj9000> zlemur I would run the ubuntu CD and choose 'manual' for the partitioning step, and re-use your existing linux partitions
[23:09] <private_meta> soundray: i forgot to search before i asked, so now i'm following something in the ubuntu forums
[23:09] <IndyGunFreak> and vocx i would NEVER EVER EVER, question the intelligence of ubotu..:)
[23:09] <opt1k> hey, where can i find a program for ubuntu to configure my saitek gm3200 mouse ?
[23:09] <purplestar> vocx: is boring a good app for gnome?
[23:09] <xbj9000> purplestar I think gnomebaker has more options,
[23:09] <ZLemur> ok..thats fairly safe to do then, i take it.
[23:09] <purplestar> xbj9000: ok
[23:09] <vocx> IndyGunFreak, ubotu is dead, long live ubottu.
[23:10] <vocx> purplestar, ???
[23:10] <ZLemur> i'm afraid i'll make some stupid mistake and end up pooching everything :/
[23:10] <purplestar> vocx:  just playing with ya ;)
[23:10] <IndyGunFreak> xbj9000: ?  lol what do you want burning software to do.. it burns cds, burns dvds, burns audio cds, burns images..
[23:10] <xbj9000> zlemur, yes as long as you don't put a checkmark by 'format' on any of your windows partions
[23:10] <ZLemur> good enough
[23:10] <apophis> ZLemur, ALWAYS have a safe copy of your data
[23:10] <xbj9000> true facts  ^
[23:10] <soundray> !mouse | opt1k
[23:10] <ZLemur> yeah apophis
[23:10] <IndyGunFreak> apophis: some people live on the edge
[23:10] <ZLemur> just dont want hassle
[23:11] <ZLemur> speaking of hassel, ndis wrapper is a pita to get going offline
[23:11] <xbj9000> zlemur you can also use your /home partition without formatting it, and keep your xubuntu user data
[23:11]  * IndyGunFreak borked windows several times while learning to install Linux..
[23:11] <purplestar> is there an app for Hardy that converts between formats, eg. flv to 3gp. etc?
[23:11] <opt1k> tx soundray
[23:11]  * apophis has paid 1000€ for NOT having a safe copy ;) think twice before doing something wrong
[23:11] <billenium> How can i install the xubuntu desktop?
[23:11] <private_meta> How can I change the sound for the gnome-terminal audio bell?
[23:11] <xbj9000> indygunfreak I was just siting the only difference I know of between gnomebaker and brasero
[23:11] <billenium> !xubuntu
[23:11] <ZLemur> keeps complaining that it wants the 64bit version cd even though i installed 32 bit
[23:11] <soundray> billenium: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[23:12] <ZLemur> i DO have a 64bit proc though
[23:12] <IndyGunFreak> xbj9000: you said k3b had more features, i was just wondering what those features were
[23:12] <purplestar> private_meta: by pulling the cats tail as you open the terminal :-)
[23:12] <xbj9000> no I didn't mention k3b
[23:12] <funkyHat> aditya1: still here? :) don't worry, tons of people do dual-boot, I've done it before (don't use windows anymore), it works ;)
[23:12] <weesyz> ubuntu how do I fully remove apache2 and do a fresh install of apache2 on ubuntu. I tried sudo apt-get remove apache2, but it still leaves the config files, so I deleted the apache2 directory and everytime I go to install it by sudo apt-get install apache2, then it doesn't download all the config files and apache2 doesn't start.
[23:12]  * soundray dualboots Xandros and Ubuntu
[23:12] <IndyGunFreak> xbj9000: ok.
[23:13] <purplestar> is there an GUI app for Hardy that converts between formats, eg. flv to 3gp. etc?
[23:13] <shellclear> boa tarde a  todos
[23:13] <vocx> weesyz, use "sudo aptitude purge <package>"
[23:13] <weesyz> in the software packages how do you totally remove a package and it's config files and install it again
[23:13] <ariqs> why doesn't snaptic package manager have sdl_net ?
[23:13] <xbj9000> purplestar try sound converter
[23:13] <IndyGunFreak> purplestar: i know vlc will play flv, not sure about converting.
[23:13] <purplestar> IndyGunFreak: ok
[23:13] <nickrud> weesyz   dpkg -l
[23:13] <private_meta> purplestar: what?
[23:13] <IndyGunFreak> eh see, sound converter, never heard of it
[23:14] <ZLemur> i'm obviously pretty new to linux...is it more hassle to install 64bit ubuntu over 32bit? as in, are there windows xp esque driver/whatever issues between the versions?
[23:14] <nickrud> weesyz erm,   dpkg -l '*apache*' | grep ^ii , sudo apt-get remove <those packages> , then install apache2 again
[23:14] <apophis> I dont know has mencoder a gui? dont think so?
[23:14] <cycom> ZLemur: to an extent, yes, but it's not too bad.
[23:14] <nickrud> weesyz erm, apt-get remove --purge that is
[23:14] <purplestar> private_meta: do you know how I can convert flv to 3gp?
[23:14] <cycom> ZLemur: do you have 4gb of ram or higher?
[23:14] <vocx> ZLemur, if fact, there are issues. Head to to 64-bit subforums of ubuntuforums.org to learn more.
[23:14] <purplestar> !3gp
[23:14] <MrWizeGuy1983> ZLemur, i'm on 64 bit ubuntu and it works great with all my drivers, but java plugin isn't available for 64 bit yet
[23:14] <ZLemur> long as i can get my wirelessworking, i'm happy. something i have yet to be able to do with any linux distro. i'm proly just too new to understand how
[23:14] <ariqs> why doesn't snaptic package manager have sdl_net ?
[23:14] <xbj9000> zlemur 64 will cause you to have to do a couple of steps to get java and flash working but it's worth it if you do any video conversion / copying
[23:15] <soundray> !info libsdl-net1.2 | ariqs
[23:15] <ZLemur> i don't, just basic use
[23:15] <cycom> ZLemur: how much ram do you have?
[23:15] <private_meta> purplestar: well, if you take the detour to mpg maybe
[23:15] <ZLemur> 2gb
[23:15] <vocx> ZLemur, for basic use you may as well stay with 32-bit
[23:15] <ZLemur> ok
[23:15] <cycom> ZLemur: don't bother with 64 bit
[23:15] <qbert> is their a CD writting application that comes with ubuntu ?
[23:15] <purplestar> private_meta: so how do I convert from mpeg to 3gp?
[23:15] <Alex|ubuntu> upgrade to kernel 2.6.24-19 screwed up my graphics card driver; is there a special channel for this?
[23:15] <cycom> ZLemur: 32 bit will give you less hassle, and the advantages of 64 bit are lost if you don't do that kind of work and you don't have 4gb of ram
[23:15] <private_meta> purplestar: I don't know a reason why you shouldn't be able to... I just didn't do it yet
[23:16] <ariqs> thankyou soundray, let me see if this works
[23:16] <Elijah> what is command to open grub menu.lst in terminal
[23:16] <ZLemur> ok, now, that said, how am i supposed to get my wireless working? i went throug the motions i found on the forums for getting it from the cdrom, but it complains that it wants the 64bit disc
[23:16] <xbj9000> qbert I think gnomebaker comes standard
[23:16] <purplestar> !burn | qbert
[23:16] <Elijah> gksudo gedit?
[23:16] <cycom> Elijah: nano
[23:16] <soundray> ariqs: are you compiling?
[23:16] <cycom> Elijah: oh, dksudo gedit will work too, if you have X running
[23:16] <neoser1> elijah the command is vi /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:16] <cycom> Elijah: gksudo*
[23:16] <xbj9000> elijah:  sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:16] <Alex|ubuntu> or gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[23:16] <ariqs> yes, soundray
[23:16] <private_meta> cycom: heh... saying "it's not too bad" when talking about compatability (in your case 64bit) always means for me I will encounter those small issues massively :)
[23:16] <xbj9000> lol
[23:16] <cycom> hehe. a plethora of responses.
[23:16] <purplestar> private_meta: so in other words you have no clue how to convert from flv to 3gp? :P
[23:17] <neoser1> qbert i prefer nautilus cd burner is more easy that you think
[23:17] <soundray> ariqs: then you'll need libsdl-net-dev
[23:17] <Elijah> what does the gk beofre gksudo do?
[23:17] <cycom> private_meta: bah. get better hardware then :)
[23:17] <Elijah> or stand for
[23:17] <BABA_RECORD> !help i need to know how to install the webcamera divers in ubuntu 7.10
[23:17] <ariqs> got it, soundray
[23:17] <Alex|ubuntu> somethign relating to graphics
[23:17] <qbert> neoser1: thanks
[23:17] <apophis> !gksudo | Elijah
[23:17] <xbj9000> purplestar, sound converter may do it but I don't think it does video
[23:17] <soundray> ariqs: sorry libsdl-net1.2-dev
[23:17] <Alex|ubuntu> like i said, graphics =D
[23:17] <cycom> private_meta: my big issue right now with 64-bit vista is that not many TV tuners have 64 bit support.
[23:17] <vocx> Elijah, it's just the graphical interface
[23:17] <Elijah> apophis, thanks so much
[23:17] <purplestar> BABA_RECORD: upgrade to Hardy 8.04 and it contains drivers for your webcam
[23:17] <private_meta> purplestar: http://www.gromkov.com/faq/faq2004-0072.html
[23:17] <neoser1> i am here to help
[23:17] <unop> purplestar, ffmpeg -i file.flv file.3gp
[23:18] <Elijah> apophis, what is the term called for what you just did? Show me info like that
[23:18] <purplestar> unop: let me try that commend
[23:18] <BABA_RECORD> purplestar can you give me a direkt link plz
[23:18] <private_meta> cycom: Well, the reason why I don't use linux as a main operating system (if I can avoid it) is because of murphy's law, and it applies EVERYWHERE
[23:18] <weesyz> Syntax error on line 129 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: see it's not replacing the config file
[23:18] <aditya1> funkyHat: But I still have my doubts, whether a grub residing in the MBR can boot windows by jumping to the boot sector of the first partition...
[23:18] <unop> purplestar, that's basically how you'd do it with ffmpeg .. but you might want to tweak certain video and audio parameters .. see the ffmpeg manpage
[23:18] <ArchMetatron> is there a way to give the password in one command for sudo so you are not promted like -p=password or something
[23:18] <apophis> Elijah, I used a factoid and sent it to you, you can type !help, to get the manual of ubottu and also the list of factoids
[23:19] <neoser1> weesys you can write the line???
[23:19] <Elijah> for the record, Ubuntu has 5-10 more years until true explosion, hardware support is a main factor that is gaining steam
[23:19] <purplestar> unop: no didnt work, no sound
[23:19] <vocx> aditya1, it can, I have my setup like that.
[23:19] <whileimhere> I downloaded a GDM theme how can I install it?
[23:19] <Elijah> apophis, thanks
[23:19] <Elijah> !help
[23:19] <soundray> ArchMetatron: not really, since that wouldn't be safe
[23:19] <purplestar> BABA_RECORD: go to ubuntu website and download 8.04
[23:19] <ianliu_89> is there a way to make a widescreen in "normal" resolution? I mean, "cut" the borders of the widescreen so it is normal
[23:19] <unop> purplestar, refer to my last statement to you
[23:19] <BABA_RECORD> ubuntu 8.04
[23:20] <aditya1> funkyHat: i want to install xp only to play games, i have not played my best game since more than a year from now
[23:20] <weesyz> root@sp0505b:/etc/apache2/mods-available# ls
[23:20] <weesyz> root@sp0505b:/etc/apache2/mods-available# ls
[23:20] <weesyz> see all my apache2 folders are empty
[23:20] <DonaldD> hi all
[23:20] <aditya1> vocx: but i have 1st installed linux, now i want to install xp, thats where the problem comes in
[23:20] <apophis> Elijah, you're welcome
[23:20] <purplestar> unop: i cannot read through 20 pages of paramaters
[23:20] <vocx> weesyz, dude, don't use the root account, that's probably the issue. You've messed with the root account.
[23:20] <neoser1> weesyz you can change to /etc/apache???
[23:20] <DistroJockey> whileimhere, goto System - Administration - Login Windows then go to the Local tab and use the Add... buttom
[23:20] <nickrud> weesyz dpkg assumes that you removed the data from that dir on purpose, and won't put the stuff back without you explicitly requesting it
[23:21] <DistroJockey> button^
[23:21] <unop> purplestar, then ffmpeg cannot help you
[23:21] <hard3r> HI
[23:21] <purplestar> unop: I am not educated to understand those ffmpeg switches. so I wanted to know if someone knows the command already
[23:21] <hard3r>
[23:21] <apophis> !dualboot | aditya1, not that big of a problem
[23:21] <hard3r> Is there a converter to amv in linux ?
[23:21] <weesyz> How can I request it?
[23:21] <purplestar> unop: you are full of shit as usual
[23:21] <weesyz> unop
[23:21] <soundray> purplestar: I suggest you apologise for that
[23:21] <whileimhere> DistroJockey: I thought that was how but I do not seem to have that option under the Administration dropdown
 purplestar, then ffmpeg cannot help you <--- you really think this comment is accurate and helpful?
[23:21] <neoser1> vocx one can enter to these directories without root, you can not edit!!!!"
[23:21] <hard3r>
[23:21] <hard3r> Is there a converter to amv in linux ?
[23:21] <soundray> purplestar: unops comment is spot on
[23:22] <nickrud> weesyz    dpkg -l '*apache*' | grep ^ii ,   sudo apt-get remove --purge <those packages> , sudo apt-get install <those packages>
[23:22] <DistroJockey> whileimhere, that's odd
[23:22] <unop> purplestar, i use ffmpeg but i dont know all of its parameters off of the top of my head .. if i need tweaking, i refer to the manpage, and i am not doing that for you .. help yourself, i am showing you a way
[23:22] <Alex|ubuntu> upgrade to kernel 2.6.24-19 screwed up my graphics card driver; is there a special channel for this?
[23:22] <purplestar> soundray: are you saying that ffmpeg cannot convert to 3gp?
[23:22] <BABA_RECORD> !help i need to know how to install the webcamera divers in ubuntu 7.10
[23:22] <whileimhere> Yeah it is
[23:22] <vocx> neoser1, but you can use sudo to gain temporary access. He probably did a lot more.
[23:22] <ArchMetatron> soundray, im trying to try rox with rox-sessinon, it needs root access in .xsession for exec 0launch http://.....  suggestions?
[23:22] <DistroJockey> whileimhere, Hardy Gnome?
[23:22] <Alex|ubuntu> lol
[23:22] <neoser1> çAlex|ubuntu, you hace a old kernel installed ???
[23:22] <Alex|ubuntu> have/had?
[23:22] <apophis> 3gp is an mpeg 4, I am quite sure ffmpeg can do that
[23:22] <whileimhere> I am using 7.10
[23:22] <DistroJockey> ahh
[23:22] <soundray> purplestar: no, I'm saying that if you can't be bothered to read the docs, ffmpeg can't help you (which is what unop said in the first place)
[23:22] <purplestar> soundray: are you suggesting that ffmpeg cannot convert from flv to 3gp?  Because if it can, then IT CAN HELP ME
[23:23] <hard3r>
[23:23] <hard3r> Is there a converter to amv in linux?
[23:23] <ArchMetatron> im so NOT concerned about that type of security, when stuff doenst work, security becomes securities biggest danger
[23:23] <Alex|ubuntu> my computer automatically downloaded kernel 2.6.24-19 and in the process destroyed my graphics card driver
[23:23] <purplestar> soundray: but your comment is not accurate, because if ffmpeg can actually convert from flv to 3gp, then it can help me.
[23:23] <Alex|ubuntu> reinstalling it doesn't work
[23:23] <aditya1> apophis: actually i want to install xp, i have already installed linux ubuntu 7.10, last time when i installed xp after linux , linux crashed
[23:23] <soundray> purplestar: not unless you read the docs
[23:23] <ArchMetatron> maybe i should go back to puppylinux, everything runs as root, no users
[23:23] <hard3r>
[23:23] <hard3r> Is there a converter to amv in linux?
[23:24] <vocx> !repeat | hard3r
[23:24] <nickrud> ease up with the arguing, please
[23:24] <purplestar> soundray: if I get the command from someone who has already worked it out, then it will work.
[23:24] <DistroJockey> whileimhere, nothing about GDM or maybe it's in Sessions in Administration?
[23:24] <amenado> purplestar-> you seem to be reluctant in reading the documentation, now one here can possibly remember all the options
[23:24] <xbj9000> aditya1 I find that, when possible, it's best ti install xp THEN Linux
[23:24] <unop> purplestar, part of using ffmpeg is using its manpage -- if you can't be bothered with reading that necessity, use something else
[23:24] <neoser1> Alex|ubuntu, you can write these directions in a block and execute one line by one line????
[23:24] <Alex|ubuntu> sure...
[23:24] <Alex|ubuntu> i'll bet i've already done them before though
[23:24] <neoser1> Alex|ubuntu, enter to /etc/X11
[23:24] <purplestar> amenado: some people may write it down for future reference and future use.  I always do
[23:24] <soundray> purplestar: you're not getting anything from me, that's for sure, seeing how you rewarded unop for his attempt to help
[23:24] <whileimhere> I am not sure but I will try the old fashioned way  --- rebooting
[23:25] <purplestar> soundray: my life will go on without any help from you or unop
[23:25] <neoser1> rename the xorg.conf > xorg.old
[23:25] <Alex|ubuntu> neoser1: ok
[23:25] <xbj9000> lol someone is impatient to convert their porn
[23:25] <amenado> purplestar-> well thats you, some of us dont have a pencil in hand.. :P
[23:25] <neoser1> change to /etc/init.d
[23:25] <purplestar> amenado: its called copy and paste :)
[23:25] <apophis> aditya1, I've done it that way with EasyBCD http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 ...
[23:25] <viZ0r> Heylozzzzz evrybody....!
[23:25] <Elijah> how do i monitor by bandwidth in ubuntu
[23:25] <purplestar> amenado: no pencil required :)
[23:25] <viZ0r> ;)
[23:25] <neoser1> ./gdm stop (this close gnome beware
[23:25] <aditya1> xbj9000:  even i know that, but i have installed linux more than a half a year ago , now i want to install xp to play games
[23:26] <amenado> purplestar-> come on man, just go and look it up..its that easy i hope
[23:26] <Elijah> how do i find broken packages too
[23:26] <xbj9000> elijah you can add an app to the task panel
[23:26] <aditya1> apophis: 1st linux and then xp right ?
[23:26] <nouvo> ;
[23:26] <Elijah> xbj9000, what app do you use?
[23:26] <purplestar> amenado: actually its not.  I scrolled through the man pages for ffmpeg and I could not find anything about 3gp
[23:26] <xbj9000> yeah sorry aditya1, I don't have windows installed at all
[23:26] <viZ0r> it has been long sisnce i visited hea....
[23:26] <apophis> yes, but the startup is a bit different after that, becuase you use the windows boot manager
[23:26] <weesyz> nickrud: thanks!
[23:26] <neoser1> run the x configuration utility (X -configure) this let a xorg.conf.new in a root directory (this command run in root method)
[23:26] <nickrud> weesyz yw
[23:26] <xbj9000> elijah I think it's just called system monitor
[23:27] <purplestar> amenado: if you ever figure out how to convert a flv to 3gp, then plese let me know :)
[23:27] <Elijah> oh, i see that
[23:27] <Elijah> it is very basic but good for now
[23:27] <aditya1> xbj9000: even i dont like win xp but i do it for playing games
[23:27] <amenado> purplestar-> sure will, btw what is it for?
[23:27] <neoser1> execute X -config /root/xorg.conf.new
[23:27] <neoser1> this ultimate command let you start X please probe the mouse and keyboard
[23:27] <xbj9000> neoser1, configuring X that way hasn't worked for me and many others since Hardy
[23:27] <viZ0r> can aneone tell me wot version of ubuntu is currently in release ???
[23:28] <vocx> aditya1, I don't think it would be hard, just set up unpartitioned space, then install XP, then grub gets erased, then reinstall grub, and then you have the dual boot setup.
[23:28] <Elijah> purple, wont "super" do that?
[23:28] <weesyz> Forbidden
[23:28] <weesyz> You don't have permission to access /~hlds1/ on this server.
[23:28] <neoser1> press Control C to exit
[23:28] <nouvo> haha
[23:28] <weesyz> I get that in apache with userdir
[23:28] <neoser1> to me in every machine on my home network
[23:28] <Alex|ubuntu> xbj: i've tried many other non-working ways.
[23:28] <neoser1> YESSSS
[23:28] <Rael420> can  someone reccomend a desktop gadget program other than gdesklets, hardly any of their gadgets work anymore
[23:28] <weesyz> apache doesn't auto set directory mods?
 : Heyaaa
[23:28] <weesyz> with ubuntu
[23:28] <Elijah> why is pidgin the default chat client for ubuntu? Isn't x-chat superior?
[23:28] <Alex|ubuntu> what do you mean by "(17:27:55) neoser1: this ultimate command let you start X please probe the mouse and keyboard"?
[23:28] <purplestar> amenado: i have a FLV file from youtube that I want to upload to my mobile phone
[23:29] <bluester> viZ0r - Hardy 8.04
[23:29] <amenado> weesyz-> proly not
[23:29] <aditya1>  vocx:But I still have my doubts, whether a grub residing in the MBR can boot windows by jumping to the boot sector of the first partition...
[23:29] <Elijah> is x-chat on ubuntu anywhere?
[23:29] <neoser1> copy /root/xorg.conf.new in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and reboot
[23:29] <Hermanon> hi how can i install GTK+ 2.0 development headers ?
[23:29] <apophis> Elijah, X-Chat is IRC only, Pidgin can do IRC, ICQ, MSN and much more
[23:29] <aditya1> viZ0r: hi, do i know you ?
[23:29] <sauvin> Elijah, pidgin is multiprotocol. xchat is probably what you'd want if you want irc mainly.
[23:29] <weesyz> It use to on my home server
[23:29] <xbj9000> elijah if you want to learn and edit a lot of config files then read about conky
[23:29] <soundray> Elijah: it is. Pidgin is more versatile, that's why it's standard
[23:29] <Elijah> apophis, ok, thanks
[23:29] <purplestar> amenado: I can convert it on Vista, but I am tossing Vista for Ubuntu.  But sadly I cannot convert flv to 3gp on Ubuntu
[23:29] <vocx> aditya1, and I told you it can because that's how I have set it up
[23:29] <unop> purplestar, http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?thread=10188
[23:29] <Elijah> purplestar, doesn't "super" do that
[23:30] <purplestar> it keeps saying Error while opening codec for output stream #0.0 - maybe incorrect parameters such as bit_rate, rate, width or height
[23:30] <amenado> purplestar-> i can only envy you, i dont have cellfone that can once web stuff, im pure n simple, phone only features ..
[23:30] <neoser1> 17:27:55 is probe your keyboard and mouse movements and keylocks (numlock scroollock and capslock

[23:30] <soundray> neoser1: who are you talking to?
[23:30] <xbj9000> SUPER is a windows app, but yeah it rules
 nawww....yew may knoe me if yew r regular hea...
[23:31] <purplestar> vocx: its my mobile phone format to play videos.  I download youtbube videos as FLV and then convert them to 3gp, then use bluetooth to upload to my mobile phone and watch the videos on my phone :)
[23:31] <neoser1> soundray to Alex|ubuntu

[23:31] <aditya1> vocx: cool, did u lose any data from linux partitions after u insstalled xp ??

[23:32] <vocx> aditya1, I didn't lose information, but there is always the chance, so stop using computers or take chances.
[23:32] <Alex|ubuntu> neoser can't i just message you?
[23:32] <bluester> viZ0r: let me see
[23:32] <ShereKhan> How do I control what happens when I press the power button on the chassis on an old computer? I have installed Ubuntu 8.04 server with no GUI on it, and I want the power button to trigger a clean shutdown. But currently I either get a direct shutoff, or nothing at all, depending on wether I add "ACPI=force" to the boot. BIOS is from 1999.
[23:32] <xbj9000> purplestar I dunno if you could run SUPER in WIne maybe
[23:33] <neoser1> hi alex|ubuntu i am here waiting for you
[23:33] <Alex|ubuntu> ok
[23:33] <unop> purplestar, trust me, if you had the patience, you could have figured it out from the man pages, you just have to understand what each option does and whether or not you want it to apply to your task -- patience and trial-and-error
[23:33] <aditya1>  vocx: i have tried it many times,
[23:33] <vocx> ShereKhan, maybe that's to old, and it can't do what you want
[23:33] <purplestar> xbj9000: i dont know what SUPER is
[23:33] <purplestar> unop: ok fair enough comment, thanks
[23:33] <ShereKhan> vocx: The weird thing is that I am pretty sure it worked earlier with Debian :o\
[23:34] <xbj9000> it's a free windows app that converts anything
 : itz wz....ummmm.... Fusion_Fx
[23:34] <aditya1> i never knew that its possible to use the same copy of linux after installing xp
[23:34] <neoser1> Alex|ubuntu, i can write a e-mail with the commands for you???
 : em back hea afta sou lond...bro.....
[23:34] <purplestar> unop: the command I got from that website, gives this error: Incorrect frame size.  Any suggestions?
[23:34] <baseLine> hi, where can i find the option to change the numbers of Desktops under gnome?? O_o
 : i really missed this #channel....sou much....
[23:35] <Alex|ubuntu> yes please
[23:35] <Alex|ubuntu> wait no
[23:35] <Alex|ubuntu> yes
[23:35] <amenado> ShereKhan-> seems like a good candidate for an event..perhaps look around how event are handled now.. /etc/event.d
[23:35] <vocx> ShereKhan, why does it have to be the power button? Can't you do a simple shutdown on the terminal or something?
[23:35] <purplestar> unop: ffmpeg -i input.flv -s 176×144 -vcodec h263 -r 25 -b 200 -ab 64 -acodec mp3 -ac 1 -ar 8000 output.3gp
[23:35] <neoser1> which is your email?? i can write now
[23:35] <xeer> I made a deskbar object linking to a script.. how can i get the file system path of the object dropped onto my item?
[23:35] <purplestar> unop: do you think the problem is the -s 176×144 ?
[23:35] <unop> purplestar, now this is where i open up the manpage, find otu which option refers to frame size and then tweak its value -- -s is probably it
[23:35] <ShereKhan> vocx: Not if I run it headless (no monitor/keyboard). Especially if it means I have to power up another computer, log in to the server with SSH and do a shutdown from there :p
[23:36] <xbj9000> baseline can't you just right-click on the pager and change it in there?
[23:36] <baseLine> no
[23:36] <xeer> I made a deskbar object linking to a script.. how can i get the file system path of the object dropped onto my item?
[23:36] <funkyHat> aditya1: as long as you get bit in the windows installer right where it asks where to install, you won't loose any data
[23:36] <xbj9000> baseline, I can..
[23:36] <Alex|ubuntu> neoser1 did you get my email?
[23:36] <unop> purplestar, you can also omit frame size if you wish to keep the existing values intact ..
[23:36] <ZLemur> gahhh
[23:36] <baseLine> ooh
[23:36] <amenado> ShereKhan-> would you consider ctrl+alt+del as same feature? look into that
[23:36] <vocx> ShereKhan, interesting
[23:36] <baseLine> thx xbj9000 :o)
[23:36] <ZLemur> so i just installed ubuntu over the old partition xubuntu was on
[23:36] <gla234> what the f
[23:36] <ZLemur> now i get a disk boot failure
[23:36] <aditya1> funkyHat: ok, cya after i install xp
[23:36] <xbj9000> :(
[23:37] <gla234> ubuntu is blocking all my ports at default?
[23:37] <xbj9000> explain the failure?
[23:37]  * ZLemur shoudl have known better
[23:37] <purplestar> unop: then I get this error. Unsupported codec for output stream #0.1
[23:37] <ZLemur> won't boot
[23:37] <jrib> gla234: ubuntu blocks nothing by default
[23:37] <ZLemur> no boot loader or anything
[23:37] <ZLemur> just says 'disk boot failure, insert system disk and press enter'
[23:37] <gla234> http://tinyurl.com/2ghusu
[23:37] <amenado> gla234-> no iptables rules by default, default policy is accept
[23:37] <NetEcho> gla234 Ubuntu / Linux doesn't block ports unless you set it up
[23:37] <xbj9000> oh I see
[23:37] <ShereKhan> amenado: No, I definitely want it to be the power button
 : ????
[23:37] <mysterycool> James Blunt hugged me!
[23:37] <xbj9000> well you will have to clear the MBR
[23:37] <gla234> argh
[23:37] <gla234> but TCP test failed! UDP test will not be performed.
[23:37] <mysterycool> I know it's off-topic but I am so excited!
[23:37] <xbj9000> zlemur
[23:37] <purplestar> unop: just to convert a flv to 3gp is so easy on MS Windows,  But I cannot do it on Ubuntu.  Looks like I need to keep MS Windows after all :(

[23:37] <mysterycool> And I am a guy and not gay :p
[23:37] <s3a> y cant i get into my router to change its settings (i have the D-Link DI-504 and an ethernet cable from its main port to my motherboard's built-in ethernet port?
[23:38] <mysterycool> !ubuntu-offtopic
[23:38] <xbj9000> it's simple really zlemur, but you will need a DOS boot floppy lol
[23:38] <gla234> amenado: NetEcho TCP test failed!   I want clean shutdown (i.e. "halt -p now"), not a reboot.
[23:39] <ZLemur> is there a util onthe ubuntu disk todo whati need to do?
[23:39] <NetEcho> gla234 see its not ubuntu :P
[23:39] <xbj9000> probably somehow with the live Ubuntu disc even
[23:39] <amenado> ShereKhan-> seems like a good candidate for an event..perhaps look around how event are handled now.. /etc/event.d
[23:39] <gla234> NetEcho: ^_^
[23:39] <xbj9000> zlemur yes I'm sure, but I haven't done it
[23:39] <ZLemur> hrm
[23:39] <Elijah> how do i open terminal fastest way possible
[23:39] <vocx> anteaya, haldm the hardware abstraction layer, a very important part of the system. Do know how much is it for you?
[23:39] <ShereKhan> amenado: Can I create a power-button-event? Is there a man-page for events/event.d?
[23:39] <ZLemur> i'm not even 100% sure as to what it is i really need to do.
[23:39] <purplestar> unop: Unknown codec 'libmp3lame'
[23:40] <amenado> gla234-> are you referring to your linux box as the router or an external box as a router?
[23:40] <vnieto> Hi, can some give me a link about how can I run and existing windows over ubuntu with virtual box?
 : ok....sowwweeee....
[23:40] <ZLemur> in the past, i'd boot from the floppy and 'fix mbr'
[23:40] <ZLemur> but i dunno what that'll do to linux
[23:40] <gla234> amenado: external
[23:40] <amenado> ShereKhan-> i'd try man event.d
[23:40] <unop> purplestar, you're prompting me to answer on a philosophical level .. tools like ffmpeg are built for versatility and tweakability so you can convert from any format to any format and do anything in the conversion process .. the same kind of underlying libraries are used on windows, but the GUI hides from you the essence of the program -- both have advantages and disadvantages ..
[23:40] <purplestar> xeer: well i canot get a flv to convert to 3gp, so I need to keep Windows for that Im sad to say
[23:40] <xbj9000> you can probably boot to a root prompt with the cd and do fdisk -mbr
[23:40] <anteaya> vocx: is fluctuating on top
[23:40] <purplestar> unop: is there a GUI front end for ffmpeg?
[23:40] <anteaya> vocx: but showing up on top consistently
[23:40] <xbj9000> but ask for second opinions on that one
[23:41] <anteaya> vocx: had a problem earlier
[23:41] <xeer> purplestar: ffmpeg will convert that without problems if you install it right.
[23:41] <ZLemur> sigh
[23:41] <anteaya> vocx: wouldn't open a terminal
[23:41] <unop> purplestar, you might not have mp3 support installed .. install the w32codecs and try again
[23:41]  * sauvin still wants to know what 3gp is
 : dear...you can use vmware worstation for runnnin linux ovr windows...!
[23:41] <anteaya> vocx: i had to shut off with the power button
[23:41] <amenado> gla234-> am sorry i forgot what was the issue, its your linux box or the router you cant get to? can you ping localhost? route table okay?
[23:41] <s3a> can any1 help me connect my router to my comp so i can set it up so that i can use it to share my internet connection?
[23:41] <anteaya> vocx: can work now, but curious what happend
[23:41] <soundray> vnieto: that's next to impossible. It would be like trying to run the same Windows installation on different machines -- you'd have to switch lots of drivers around.
[23:41] <xbj9000> here zlemur
[23:41] <xbj9000> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351&highlight=fdisk+mbr
[23:41] <vocx> anteaya, can you check out the log for suspicious behavior, check out System > Administration > System logs
[23:41] <ShereKhan> amenado: I have no such manpage. The only manpages I have with "event" in them are iwevent and eventlogadm, and none are relevant
[23:41] <unop> purplestar, there are a couple of GUI front-ends to ffmpeg .. but i dont know of any .. but they won't work if you try and encode audio in mp3 if you have no mp3 encoders installed
[23:42] <X-Seti> ..
[23:42] <vocx> sauvin, some movie format for cell phones, it is kewlz for kewl kids
[23:42] <sauvin> Oh, pfft.
[23:42] <amenado> ShereKhan-> you may have to google for it, i have read that article from an ubuntu book excerpt..good explanations
[23:42] <anteaya> vocx: thanks will look
[23:42] <gla234> amenado: nah man thanks for helping me, but this is something I have to do my self, I just realised my router is at default settings block most of the outgoing ports, so no wonder my tcp failed.. but I just assumed for a minute it was linux...but I appreciate youre trying to help me :)
[23:42] <X-Seti> I feel alittle let down by ubuntu right now, even through this is the best package out there
[23:42] <anodesni>  Hi, my speakers philips spa 1300 are broken. I want to replace them with logitech x-230 2.1 set. Is this a good choice for the money?
[23:42] <unop> sauvin, 3gp is like mpg -- only it's for mobile devices, it helps by reducing the amount of data needed to store video and audio data
[23:42] <xbb> hello
[23:42] <soundray> anodesni: this is not a good place to ask. Perhaps ##hardware
[23:43] <purplestar> unop: how do I install mp3 encoder?
[23:43] <purplestar> unop: and it keeps saying Incorrect frame size
[23:43] <Elijah> how do i switch workspaces the fastest?
[23:43] <ZLemur> thanks man
[23:43] <s3a> anodesni: go for x530 or x540
[23:43] <Alex|ubuntu> either scroll on the background
[23:43] <ZLemur> xbj9000, i'll letcha know if it works
[23:43] <ASULutzy> Man, whoever said OpenSuse 11 was better than Hardy is crazy. KDE4 is tricky, so I tried their Gnome... The Gnome menu made me want to shoot myself in the face.
[23:43] <amenado> gla234-> no sweat, sometimes just another pair of eyes or ears, points to the not so obvious things at times
[23:43] <soundray> Elijah: Ctrl-Alt-right/left
[23:43] <cheeseboy> is there anyway i can get ossv4 to work with mednafen?
[23:43] <xbj9000> k please do, and good luck zlemur
[23:43] <Alex|ubuntu> elijah: scroll on back ground or ctrl-alt-left/right/up/down
[23:43] <s3a> anodesni: those are super cheap and very good in my opinion surround sound systems
[23:43] <ZLemur> thanks
[23:44] <unop> purplestar, install the w32codecs and liblame0 packages .. and try again
[23:44] <xbj9000> s3a get your other problem figured out?
[23:44] <gla234> amenado: aint taht the truth :)
[23:44] <ZLemur> if not for my eee and it's onlineness i'd be smurfed heh
[23:44] <anodesni> s3a, isn't the bass too loud? Isn't that a problem?
[23:44] <unop> purplestar, for the frame size issue, remove the option to change the frame size
[23:44] <Elijah> soundray, sweet
[23:44] <Elijah> Alex|ubuntu, what does scroll on background do?
[23:44] <s3a> xbj9000: o lol i went and trained my biceps instead
[23:44] <xbj9000> haha
[23:44] <Elijah> Alex|ubuntu, wow! i get it
[23:45] <LordFlashy> I have a Radeon 9800pro and it seems a lot of the 3d games are flickery when I play them
[23:45] <xbj9000> I don't even remember the issue
[23:45] <s3a> anodesni: i have x530 and u can control the bass physically
[23:45] <Alex|ubuntu> elijah: :D
[23:45] <purplestar> unop ill try that
[23:45] <amenado> ShereKhan-> http://www.linux.com/feature/125977?theme=print
[23:45] <vocx> LordFlashy, turn off Compiz
[23:45] <X-Seti> Does anyone here run a server, and successful had no problems
[23:45] <LordFlashy> how can I do that?
[23:45] <Elijah> do you guys know how i use the cube, i middle click (wheel) and drag and it works but not when a window is open
[23:45] <anodesni> s3a, I know, but a lot of people on internet complain about the loud high bass
[23:45] <purplestar> unop: Package w32codecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[23:45] <Alex|ubuntu> elijah: i find that the fastest, but u need dekstop effects to use it.. which i'm currently trying to fix
[23:45] <anodesni> s3a, even when bass sis at lowest level
[23:45] <s3a> xbj9000: i think i no wat the problem is, cuz i just realized my hd is too small to extract wat i wanted
[23:46] <vnieto> viZ0r: Not linux over windows, windows over linux
[23:46] <bluester> purplestar: try here... http://blog.mypapit.net/2007/04/ffmpeg-based-batch-flv-to-3gp-converter-scripts.html
[23:46] <anodesni> s3a, they're probably soundfreaks though
[23:46] <unop> !w32codecs | purplestar
[23:46] <vocx> !ccsm | Elijah LordFlashy
[23:46] <LordFlashy> thanks :D
[23:46] <unop> purplestar, you'll need to enable the medibuntu repos for the w32codecs package
[23:46] <s3a> anodesni: well i dont no bout others but i have no problem with my bass and u can physically control it if ur "controlling software" isnt good enuf
[23:46] <Elijah> vocx, The cube works but jut not when a window is open
[23:47] <vocx> Elijah, never used compiz, sorry
[23:47] <s3a> anodesni: i read in a review that x530 in 2.1 mode (which is kinda like what ur buying) suks alot
[23:47] <Elijah> how do you use the cube while a window is open, i thought there was a way to use the super button
[23:47] <happymonkey> how do I ask xmodmap to interpret one key for multiple keys?
[23:47] <purplestar> bluester: is that script safe to use?
[23:47] <anodesni> s3a, ok thnx
[23:47] <purplestar> unop: ok
[23:47] <neoser1> Alex|ubuntu get the e-mail????
[23:47] <vocx> happymonkey, like K for Control-Alt-K?   I don't know.
[23:48] <DistroJockey> Elijah, Ctrl+Alt+left or right arrow or left mouse button
[23:48] <happymonkey> vocx: yes, exactly I have a multimedia remote I'm trying to use with evince for page forward and back etc.
[23:48] <Yooshi> !ubuntu-tweak
[23:48] <Yooshi> man you guys need to find that one :D
[23:48] <Elijah> DistroJockey, is there a way to use with the mouse?
[23:48] <happymonkey> vocx: for a presentation I must give
[23:49] <DistroJockey> Elijah, use ccsm to look at/change the bindings
[23:49] <vocx> happymonkey, I briefly read the xmodmap page, seems like it would be possible, read it already?
[23:49] <happymonkey> vocx: yes, but most likely more briefly than you
[23:50] <happymonkey> vocx: I think I just put a space, actually between each, let me try
[23:51] <chaco> how do i make the cube work?
[23:51] <vocx> happymonkey, what you need is a suitable expression, look at the examples. Sorry, no other way around but to try a few times.
[23:51] <bluester> purplestar... I would go through the code and see if you have all the modules first. I used several scripts from this site without harm to my system. However, the thing I had issues with were the scripts error out and I had to 'find' the application it called for. :-(
[23:51] <chaco> i have compiz.real working
[23:51] <Elijah> i keep getting broken evolution sttuff now, how do i fix this
[23:51] <happymonkey> vocx: yes, I believe you are correct, I thought perhaps someone here had already done something like this
[23:51] <Kirsch> hey guys, i have a mdadm raid that i would like to permanetly kill, but i have tried all sorts of things, can anyone help?
[23:51] <Elijah> with simple-ccsm install and some otehr stuff earlier
[23:51] <Kirsch> i've tried to fail the drive, stop it and remove it but i constantly get device busy
[23:51] <soundray> !ccsm | chaco
[23:51] <chaco> but when i press ctrl+alt+win
[23:52] <purplestar> bluester: ol
[23:52] <purplestar> ok
[23:52] <dmsuperman> Elijah, more description than "broken stuff" will be necessary for help
[23:52] <chaco> i just get them like flying
[23:52] <schyffel> Hi, I have some problems installing the new mythtv-packages. (Conflict about /var/lib/mythtv/) Anyone got some news on that?
[23:52] <vocx> happymonkey, maybe something like "keysim K = Meta_L Alt_L K"
[23:52] <happymonkey> vocx: yes, the 2nd example gives it away
[23:52] <chaco> how do i install that?
[23:53] <chaco> the latter one?
[23:53] <ZLemur> meh. no dice yet xbj9000
[23:53] <Elijah> dmsuperman, let me start pidgin and do a pastebin
[23:53] <ZLemur> first bit appeared to work, but no change upon reboot
[23:53] <soundray> chaco: through synaptic
[23:53] <chaco> ok
[23:53] <X-Seti> :)
[23:54] <schyffel> So, noone heard anything about the new mythtv-packages I take it?
[23:54] <X-Seti> can you upgrade from ubuntu desktop to server version without  losing any working (contents)
[23:54] <soundray> schyffel: you could pastebin the error
[23:54] <LordFlashy> vocx: I can't seem to see where to disable it in simple-cssm
[23:55] <xbj9000> zlemur, what happened?
[23:55] <ZLemur> i went throug the motions in grub and it appeared to do what it needed to - no errors or anything. when i rebooted, i still had disk boot failure
[23:55] <schyffel> soundray: Problem is, my installation is in swedish, so you woulg get partly swedish error msg
[23:55] <ZLemur> i'm going to try it again just in case
[23:55] <soundray> X-Seti: the desktop is a superset of the server base
[23:55] <vocx> LordFlashy, well I think special effects can be disabled with just System > Preferences > Appearance
[23:55] <soundray> schyffel: that's fine, I'll get the gist
[23:56] <soundray> schyffel: du ska inte tro det blir sommar ;)
[23:56] <neoser1> soundray have reason i prefer desktop and configure it as server....
[23:56] <Jokka[Tux]> Any progg i can play dvds in? exept vlc ofc...
[23:56] <anteaya> vocx: thanks for the direction to check my system logs vis a vis hald.  I don't know what I am looking for and today's file is too big to paste to you.
[23:57] <soundray> neoser1: pardon?
[23:57] <gla234> whats the quickes and shortest command in bash, to print ip/gatewya etc?
[23:57] <anteaya> vocx: am open for other suggestions and information  thanks
[23:57] <Stormx2> gla234: ifconfig?
[23:57] <neoser1> you are right, I prefer the desktop and configure as server is very easy.....
[23:57] <vocx> anteaya, well if you say that hald is running then it must be outputting stuff to the logs real time, maybe that tells you something, but who knows.
[23:57] <schyffel> soundray: Ok, in a bit.
[23:57] <purplestar> unop: this claims to do it.. http://www.winff.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=34&Itemid=60
[23:57] <Elijah> what is the fastest way to open the terminal
[23:58] <gla234> Stormx2: yes but I cant see my gateway
[23:58] <colaser> I'm having trouble updating acpid in order to upgrade to Hardy. sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a succeeds but doesn't fix it, and sudo apt-get install -f says "cannot create /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/fan1_min: Permission denied". /sys/devices/platform/applesmc.768/ exists. What should I do?
[23:58] <Elijah> i use alt+f2 and then type gnome-terminal
[23:58] <Stormx2> Elijah: Assign a shortcut key? Switch to another tty?
[23:58] <gla234> unless gateway is known as something else in linux?
[23:58] <vocx> Elijah, setup a terminal to open at startup, so next time you log in it is already open. There you are  hax0r.
[23:58] <ZLemur> ok, xbj9000, so now, trying to those steps in grub again, 'find /boot/grub/stage1' says 'file not found;
[23:58] <soundray> Elijah: Ctrl-Alt-T
[23:58] <anteaya> vocx: there is definitely lots of output to logs, but I don't know how to recognize an anomaly
[23:59] <neoser1> colaser you haverunning  the root account???
[23:59] <ZLemur> oh, wait, didn't use sudo
[23:59] <schyffel> soundray: http://paste.ubuntu.com/21980/
[23:59] <ZLemur> hangon
[23:59] <IndyGunFreak> vocx: you h@V3 l33t h@X0r $killz
[23:59] <vocx> IndyGunFreak, yea
[23:59] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[23:59] <soundray> neoser1: please don't advise people to use root
[23:59] <neoser1> in these command is obviuosly needed
