[12:03] <kkman> h6w, terminal as well
[12:03] <h6w> kkman, if you do an iwconfig what do you get?
[12:03] <KenSentMe> JanHammer: huh?

[12:03] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:03] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, it didn't do anything after I changed, it still says 85 on the settings, and only allows that
[12:03] <rigonatti> do3es anyone know the url to get a auto mount disk script ?
[12:03] <JanHammer> which is odd.
[12:03] <kkman> h6w, "Access Point not associated"
[12:04] <KenSentMe> JanHammer: maybe check the message from ubotu
[12:04] <kkman> h6w, other then taht it seems OK
[12:04] <Spy> does any1 know about good text editors besides gedit, for gnome editing of php fils
[12:04] <h6w> kkman, ok so your wifi card is working, it's just that it's not associating.
[12:04] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, huh? what message?
[12:04] <rigonatti> !disk

[12:04] <ubotu> I know nothing about diskmount
[12:04] <gray> spy: i've heard a lot of good things about 'bluefish' for php
[12:04] <rigonatti> does anyone know the url to get a auto mount disk script ?
[12:04] <KenSentMe> JanHammer: that one
[12:05] <kkman> h6w, if i remove wpa from the access point i have wifi connectivity 100%
[12:05] <h6w> kkman, ah, so it's wpa that's the problem.
[12:05] <kkman> h6w, Ya
[12:05] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, that message is just what I see in the resolution settings in Preferences
[12:05] <JanHammer> it only allows 85, like I said
[12:05] <seanlap> Does the website http://webproxy.cc/ work in your browser?
[12:05] <KenSentMe> JanHammer: have you checked the wiki page?
[12:06] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, yep, found one page that was supposed to fix it
[12:06] <KenSentMe> jasonm: select the partition you want to format and go to 'partition --> unmount
[12:06] <JanHammer> didn't :P
[12:06] <kkman> h6w, any idea ?
[12:06] <rigonatti> !help
[12:06] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[12:06] <protocol1_> is there a reason why my system halts at grub loading 1.5 for a long period of time and I have to keep rebooting till it loads?
[12:06] <Slaphappy^> has anyone heard about the problem when trying to install packages that a user need to ping like ubuntu.com everytime he needs to install any packages
[12:07] <h6w> kkman, I have never used wpa, so no.  I would suggest going and talking to the linux-wireless people.   I was just looking to see if they have a channel.
[12:07] <rigonatti> !mount
[12:07] <ubotu> Disks store lots of data. Partitioning: try gparted or qtparted  - Formatting: see the manpage for mkfs  - Mounting: system -> administration -> disks
[12:07] <rigonatti> does anyone know the url to get a auto mount disk script ?
[12:07] <Solon12> when i click system / quit, only the "lock screen" button has an icon. is there some way to fix it so all the buttons have icons?
[12:07] <zzzen> protocol1_: I had this once and it was a hardware problem. In my case removing the cdrom drive helped reboot faster
[12:07] <KenSentMe> jasonm: sorry, i see now that i've sent you a message that wasn't meant for you
[12:08] <KenSentMe> !tell JanHammer about fixres
[12:08] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, that's the exact article
[12:08] <jasonm> KenSentMe, it says that the drive is formatted, i dont understand how i see the two drives in say the browser... im new to the linux file system
[12:08] <krang> anyone know how I mightIs there any way to make apt-get "--assume-no", beacuse it isn't in the man page, but I'd rather expect it to be present since there's a "--assume-yes"
[12:08] <jajaja-> hey guys, i am following the quietglow how-to and when i run sudo make, i am gettin an error No rule to make target `modules'
[12:08] <BCK14> Whats a good CD ripper ?
[12:09] <rigonatti> !automount
[12:09] <ubotu> I know nothing about automount

[12:09] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[12:09] <KenSentMe> jasonm: have you clicked unmount?
[12:09] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, that's the article I had two hours ago, and tried it, didn't work :/
[12:09] <AskHL> I just installed aewm (I use Xfce right now). I cannot select aewm from the login screen session selector. How then can I launch aewm ?
[12:09] <KenSentMe> jasonm: when you now go to partition, you can choose the option format as
[12:10] <JanHammer> brb
[12:10] <gray> what does it mean to put an exclamation point in front of a word in irc?
[12:10] <gray> i see everyone doing it =\
[12:10] <BCK14> Whats a good CD ripper ?
[12:10] <boabsta> gray: sends stuff to a bot
[12:10] <KenSentMe> !tell gray about ubotu
[12:10] <jasonm> KenSentMe, yes, i believe you have to unmount to change the filesystem... how do i remount the drive
[12:10] <AskHL> Generally, aewm is just a window manager. So the question is: "how would I switch window manager when it's not in the session selector after installation"?
[12:10] <KenSentMe> jasonm: i thought you wanted to format it
[12:10] <gray> !mount

[12:11] <maccam94> how do i make ubuntu autodetect a new monitor?
[12:11] <jasonm> and i did
[12:11] <maccam94> i'm using 6.06
[12:11] <nikolajb> hello, my kernel is built under gcc "4.0.3", and i have modules built under "4.0" .. is this different?
[12:11] <zzzen> KensetMe: Maybe *you* could help me with my mixer problem described at http://dod.goleshet.com/sndbug ? I've milked ubotu dry and googled like doogle and only got as far as I did (which is quite impressive for an old hippie IMHO ;) )
[12:11] <KenSentMe> jasonm: have you click the apply button yet and see gparted formatting the partition
[12:12] <maccam94> i just set up ubuntu 6.06 at my house, and brought it back to my neighbors. How do i make it pick up the new monitor's settings correctly
[12:12] <protocol1_> zzzen, my friend was telling me I should have a cd'rom in to keep grub happy
[12:12] <jasonm> KenSentMe, i unmounted it and formatted to ext3... i want to now remount the drive
[12:12] <KenSentMe> jasonm: you first choose what you want to do and then click apply to let gparted make all the changes you selected
[12:12] <jajaja-> i am following the quietglow how-to and when i run sudo make, i am gettin an error No rule to make target `modules'
[12:12] <cypher> what package should i install for resolving "X includes" ?
[12:12] <Solon12> when i click system / quit, only the "lock screen" button has an icon. is there some way to fix it so all the buttons have icons?
[12:13] <Arc> can someone help me get this modem working?
[12:13] <Cntryboy> anyone?
[12:14] <boabsta> you know when you see how-tos and there are screen shots of the initial screens to install Ubuntu 5.10, how do you get those?
[12:14] <Arc> it seems that the kernel doesn't know about this vendor/model though it is supported
[12:14] <jasonm> KenSentMe, i already did that, but i dont see it in the browser, for example... when i click places, then computer it shows i have one drive called filesystem, it doesnt show the second drive...
[12:14] <boabsta> Cntryboy: define "doesnt work"
[12:14] <Cntryboy> http://www.nero.com/en/NeroLINUX.html
[12:14] <Cntryboy> thats the site for nero altern for linux right
[12:14] <boabsta> Cntryboy: yer but how does it not work?
[12:15] <boabsta> Cntryboy: does it crash, does it fail to install, what?
[12:15] <Cntryboy> when I go to it, it sits there on a blue screen background and no txt no dl links natta
[12:15] <boabsta> Cntryboy: ppl cant/wont help if the only info you give is "it doesnt work"
[12:15] <KenSentMe> jasonm: the linux filesystem is not like in windows with c:, d: etc
[12:15] <Madeye> guys, Flashplayer installed just fine but it wont play sounds when the movie has sounds.
[12:15] <kr4z> boabsta: he means the site
[12:15] <boabsta> kr4z: aaaah lol
[12:15] <Cntryboy> well if someone tells me a url doesn't work ususally I already know the page doesn't load up
[12:15] <UKMatt> is it better to use gparted, qparted, or does it not matter
[12:15] <Cntryboy> lol
[12:16] <boabsta> UKMatt: gparted if u use Gnome, qparted if u use KDE is best
[12:16] <Fluxboxen> Hi guys, My system still thinks its using java 1.4. even though 1.5 is installed. Whats the command to change the version the OS uses, does anyone know
[12:16] <UKMatt> boabsta, how are they different?
[12:16] <KenSentMe> jasonm: it's built up of different folders that can all be on the same partition, but also that all folders are on one, and only the /home folder is on a second partition
[12:16] <boabsta> Cntryboy: yep, it doesnt work - dont know why lol
[12:16] <KenSentMe> !filesystem
[12:16] <ubotu> I know nothing about filesystem
[12:16] <Cntryboy> okay :(
[12:16] <KenSentMe> !fs
[12:16] <ubotu> I know nothing about fs
[12:16] <Cntryboy> eh im too tired to worry with it today anyways
[12:17] <KenSentMe> !linux
[12:17] <ubotu> linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
[12:17] <boabsta> UKMatt: gparted uses Gnome libraries, QParted uses QT (which is KDE)
[12:17] <Cntryboy> laters
[12:17] <Cntryboy> and thx
[12:17] <UKMatt> boabsta, ahh... any reason gparted wasnt included in add/remove?
[12:17] <jasonm> KenSentMe, really, so how do i tell whats on what drive, for organizational purposes.
[12:17] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, the problem with that article is that it doesn't tell you how to add options for refresh rate :/
[12:17] <JanHammer> that's the problem
[12:18] <boabsta> UKMatt: u may need to add other repositories or something
[12:18] <boabsta> so does anyone know how you get screen shots of a linux install process?
[12:18] <UKMatt> boabsta, nah not the synaptic, the add/remove that is in the menubar
[12:18] <gnomefreak> !info gparted
[12:18] <ubotu> gparted: partition editor for GNOME. In repository main, is optional. Version 0.1-0ubuntu9 (dapper), package size 232 kB, installed size 1280 kB
[12:18] <Subhuman> boabsta, vmware
[12:18] <kr4z> boabsta: you can get those screen shots if you run it in VMware or something
[12:18] <Fluxboxen> Hi guys, My system still thinks its using java 1.4. even though 1.5 is installed. Whats the command to change the version the OS uses, does anyone know
[12:18] <boabsta> Subhuman: okay, thanks
[12:19] <gnomefreak> UKMatt: its in main repo
[12:19] <jasonm> KenSentMe, i just went to disk manager and it says the drives path is "/media/sdb1" and its not inccessible.
[12:19] <UKMatt> gnomefreak, no biggie, i got it through synaptic
[12:19] <jasonm> KenSentMe, when i click enable it doesnt do anything..
[12:19] <boabsta> UKMatt: sorry I dont know, if its in main then it should show as far as I know. I use KDE (*ducks*) so i'm not too familiar with Gnome
[12:20] <UKMatt> boabsta, np, ty
[12:20] <KenSentMe> jasonm: maybe this is helpfull for explaining a bit about the folder structure
[12:20] <kr4z> does anybody know of any good documentation for using dual monitors with fglrx? I can get it half working but it breaks whenever I logout and login as a different user
[12:20] <KenSentMe> jasonm: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxFilesystemTreeOverview
[12:20] <Subhuman> UKMatt, add/remove is very basic, you should use synaptic all the time
[12:21] <boabsta> kr4z: thanks - just noticed your reply
[12:21] <UKMatt> btw, it doesnt hurt anything if I resize my Ubuntu partition to make it larger, i have 1 hd with duel boot with windows
[12:21] <fiyawerx_> is anyone familiar with using freenx?
[12:21] <Subhuman> UKMatt, no it doesnt
[12:21] <UKMatt> subhuman, i usually do, I just happened to be in it
[12:21] <valehru> Im just after installing a docklet for beep media player.......it has a system tray docklet, is there any way I can remove beep from the taskbar and to the docklet only?

[12:21] <UKMatt> subhuman, ty
[12:21] <Subhuman> <- UK
[12:21] <fiyawerx_> i was wondering if these start commands look blatantly wrong to anyone, it seems to be my problem

[12:23] <Rerre211> Hi! I tried shared folders in Ubuntu, but Ubuntu says I should install Samba. I select "ok" for that, but the same propmt comes up each time I start "shared folders". I cannot see the folders in Windows either. I can ping the machines ok. Can anyone help here?
[12:23] <cypher> Usunny, then which one is good
[12:23] <JanHammer> ugh, no one can help me it seems :/
[12:23] <Solon12> when i click system / quit, only the "lock screen" button has an icon. is there some way to fix it so all the buttons have icons?
[12:23] <DarkTower> how do i make it so that when i move folder off other computers or off cd's into my home folder, i automatically get permission to it? I hate having to set permissions every time
[12:23] <Usunny> good one ?
[12:23] <UKMatt> aww, can you resize after you make them?  its telling me that windows and ubuntu sides are locked
[12:23] <KenSentMe> jasonm: it's on an external drive?
[12:23] <cypher> Usunny, yes
[12:23] <Subhuman> Solon12,  you need to login with gdm
[12:23] <jasonm> nope

[12:24] <zommes> can i ask something?
[12:24] <jasonm> KenSentMe, its a second sata
[12:24] <boabsta> zommes: hello, bash on
[12:24] <Solon12> Subhuman - i am logged in though. Whats gdm?
[12:24] <DarkTower> boabsta: i do want permission. but it always copies in without permission, off cds at least
[12:24] <zommes> well, anyone familiar with mud-games?
[12:24] <zommes> and the program TinyFugue
[12:24] <DarkTower> boabsta: pardon me, as read only
[12:24] <RadiantFire> Solon12: gdm is the Gnome Display Manager
[12:24] <boabsta> DarkTower: read only?
[12:24] <boabsta> DarkTower: aah yer
[12:24] <DarkTower> boabsta: yes
[12:24] <RadiantFire> Solon12: it is responsible for handling non-terminal (graphical) logins

[12:25] <Solon12> gdm is running though. sorry, im new to ubuntu and a bit confused
[12:25] <Subhuman> Solon12, the program wheere u type your user in pass in before you ghet to the desktop
[12:26] <DarkTower> how can i make files from cds copy into my home folder without read only. i shouldnt need to constantly reset that for every file off a cd
[12:26] <zommes> Somehow, the responses on my commands are not readable
[12:26] <Subhuman> Solon12, try pushing the power button.
[12:26] <Subhuman> Solon12, and reboot then look
[12:26] <JanHammer> does anyone know why ubuntu would be limiting my res to 85? There's no other choices
[12:26] <JanHammer> er
[12:26] <JanHammer> refresh rate
[12:26] <KenSentMe> jasonm: does the disk manager tell you what filesystem is on the disk?
[12:26] <Solon12> iwhat should i be looking at when i reboot?
[12:26] <kkman> is there anyway to uninstall UBUNTU?
[12:26] <JanHammer> does anyone know why ubuntu would be limiting my refresh rate to 85? There's no other choices
[12:26] <boabsta> JanHammer: look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:26] <JanHammer> heh
[12:26] <JanHammer> I did
[12:27] <DarkTower> kkman: just install whatever else you want over the top of it
[12:27] <JanHammer> boabsta, what would I want to look for?
[12:27] <bon_> how gay is that no flash 8 for linux
[12:27] <kkman> DarkTower, i want to install a fresh copyu of ubuntu

[12:27] <kkman> how do i remove the old installation?
[12:27] <teckfatt> hello, anyone know what software the ubuntu use for auto mount the ex-harddisk(sda)??
[12:28] <DarkTower> kkman: you dont need to "uninstall". just start the install again and do it over the top
[12:28] <boabsta> JanHammer: Section "Monitor" - the VertRefresh and HorizSync are there, look for the specs of your monitor and set those to be the same
[12:28] <boabsta> JanHammer: Like VertRefresh     50-150
[12:28] <kkman> will it be a vanila fresh copy of the os?
[12:28] <MTecknology> I installed qemu and installed WinXP on it but when it got to configuring shit, it froze(just was going to slow) so I tried restarting it with 512 instead 0f 128. It goes into it's bios after 1/2 a second, it goes black and nothing happens, what's wrong?
[12:28] <JanHammer> boabsta, yes, they're set correctly to my monitor
[12:28] <kkman> I wnat all old configuration/file sto be removed
[12:28] <KenSentMe> kkman: you don't have to, just install it again and choose the same partition to install it on
[12:28] <DarkTower> kkman: it wont have any ice cream flavours but yes it will be a fresh new clean install
[12:28] <vernek> Hi guys

[12:29] <boabsta> JanHammer: are you sure your monitor can go higher than 85 at the resolution you are using?
[12:29] <JanHammer> boabsta, that's not the problem
[12:29] <JanHammer> it's that ubuntu ONLY has 85 on the dropdown
[12:29] <JanHammer> I want 60

[12:32] <Raul654> Ken - I don't want it on the toolbar - I want it on the desktop
[12:32] <Arc> KenSentMe: I'm 99% sure it's supported, as evidence by:
[12:32] <vernek> does anybody have faced this problem?
[12:32] <Arc> root@Red:~# usbmodules --device /proc/bus/usb/002/003
[12:32] <Arc> cdc-acm
[12:32] <KenSentMe> Raul654: ah, ok
[12:32] <DarkTower> JanHammer: sorry cant help, havent switched to it yet
[12:32] <fiyawerx_> anyone know what would cause an idle ssh session to just lock up?
[12:32] <JanHammer> utrrhthghhh
[12:32] <vincenz> Anyone know why firefox consumes so much memory?
[12:32] <JanHammer> DarkTower, what did you have to do? X hasn't changed in a long while
[12:32] <joey-> Hello?
[12:32] <teckfatt> KenSentMe: tz, is not fstab, it like pmount, it will auto mount the drive when plug in but not in fstab
[12:32] <Raul654> I just need to know either (a) the name of the trash applet, or (b) how to move an icon from the bar onto the desktop
[12:32] <DarkTower> JanHammer: keep trying on here i would say, some of the devs come on
[12:32] <wizardjames> vincenz , it could be a plugin or theme
[12:33] <joey-> Could anyone help me with a video card issue it seems?
[12:33] <jvai> set the cache to zero
[12:33] <DarkTower> JanHammer: i fortunately could ignore it in my case. i would say play with the xconf file resolution setting
[12:33] <vincenz> Any know when they'll fix the ATI bugs?
[12:33] <joey-> During installation, it will not load up past the Ubuntu... "Check" if you will.
[12:33] <vincenz> And what can I use as alternative at the moment for direct rendering?
[12:33] <JanHammer> DarkTower, haven't found a refresh rate list, I even tried lowering the monitor refresh manually and it didn't change anythiong
[12:33] <JanHammer> gah!
[12:34] <Arc> vincenz: indirect rendering or mesa software rendering
[12:34] <vincenz> Arc: I maent as alternative to fglrx to get direct rendering to work
[12:34] <wizardjames> i got "ubuntu-6.06-desktop-i386_001.iso" on my desktop .. donno when i downloaded it.. soemone tell me what it is? (live cd??)
[12:34] <Arc> vincenz: you really want to spend the $30 to get yourself a nice ATI Radeon 9200
[12:34] <vincenz> For non openGL stuff, just plain 2d stuff... typing in gnometerminal is seriously lagged
[12:34] <Solon12> when i click system / quit, only the "lock screen" button has an icon. is there some way to fix it so all the buttons have icons?
[12:34] <vincenz> Arc: Taht's great, I'll tell my laptop manufacturer
[12:34] <joey-> hahaha radeon 9200
[12:34] <joey-> i have one
[12:34] <joey-> :(
[12:34] <KenSentMe> wizardjames: it's livecd and install cd in one
[12:34] <wizardjames> ok.. that works.
[12:34] <Arc> KenSentMe: any idea?
[12:35] <bioticpro> Im trying to decide between these cards http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductCompare.asp?SubCategory=48&CompareItemList=N82E16814143038%2CN82E16814127203%2CN82E16814133149%2CN82E16814143056 for a dell optiplex gx260, any advice on which to get please
[12:35] <udo> how can i setup my f200 crypto modem i already have ubuntu dapper release?
[12:35] <KenSentMe> Arc: sorry, have you searched the ubuntu forums?
[12:35] <vincenz> Arc: I have an X300
[12:35] <Arc> KenSentMe: yes.
[12:35] <joey-> I have a problem: When I boot Ubuntu on this computer, it goes to the point where it'll start checking itself out, checking my computer. Then when it goes to load X, crashes.
[12:36] <joey-> I have an ATI RADEON 9200.
[12:36] <joey-> But I also have an onboard intel 801e.
[12:36] <joey-> 810e*
[12:36] <vincenz> x300 is quite good imho
[12:36] <joey-> When I take out the video card (radeon), it works fine.
[12:36] <joey-> with it in
[12:36] <Arc> joey-: did you disable the internal video?
[12:36] <joey-> no go
[12:36] <vincenz> I can run oblivion on it
[12:37] <joey-> Arc: I can't even LOAD Ubuntu.
[12:37] <udo> how can i setup my f200 crypto modem i already have ubuntu dapper release?
[12:37] <Arc> joey-: I'm using a system now that has a i915 w/ ati radeon 9200SE 128mb and it runs smooth as silk
[12:37] <Arc> joey-: you'd disable it in the bios.
[12:37] <vincenz> Arc: my x300 has 128MB
[12:37] <zzzen> KenSentMe: Did you have time to look at my sound problem? http://dod.goleshet.com/sndbug

[12:37] <joey-> Going to try it.
[12:37] <KenSentMe> zzzen: i have time, but i doubt i can help
[12:37] <joey-> Arc: Yeah.
[12:37] <joey-> Is it okay if i PM Arc?
[12:37] <Arc> ok try the bios.

[12:38] <joey-> Arc: watch this
[12:38] <joey-> (CPU1) Intel Celeron CPU 1200MHz @ 1195MHz (Trigem Computer, Inc. Lomita mainboard) , 53.94MB free (HDDs) 37.2GB, 12.5GB free
[12:38] <joey-> (VGA3) RADEON 9200 SERIES - Secondary (128MB) (OS) Microsoft Windows XP Professional (SP2), 1d 1h 16m 8s uptime, 1w 3d 9h 6m 3s uptime record
[12:39] <Arc> um ok
[12:39] <joey-> at this point, anything is better than this machine
[12:39] <jvai> totem is now my new wmp, but muuuch simpler, thnk u easy ubuntu
[12:39] <danny-khi> can i access webpages from a socks proxy on port 1080
[12:39] <joey-> anyway, brb
[12:39] <Arc> c'mon someone has got to have experience with usb modems
[12:39] <flavio> OI
[12:39] <flavio> HELLO
[12:40] <jasonm> KenSentMe, it says its a ext3 filesystem
[12:40] <few> Hi everyone! help me somebody I compile new release of mplayer with gui support so which video output driver I've to chose gl or gl2?
[12:40] <zzzen> I'm sure it's a simple newbie thing: oss mixer doesn't see the pcm (alsa mixer does) and after reboots all channels are muted and with volume 0. I don't mind changing my setup to something that is known to work. I just want to have the mixer saved between reboots
[12:40] <void^> few: usually xv, but gl/gl2 won't hurt.
[12:40] <KenSentMe> jasonm: does it give any access path (sorry, i'm on a dutch ubuntu)
[12:41] <few> i don't habe xv there. What should i do?
[12:41] <jasonm> KenSentMe, sorry gparted says its a ext3 filesystem, disk manager says its ntsf
[12:41] <clparker> mac is my favorite
[12:41] <KenSentMe> jasonm: have you closed gparted?
[12:41] <udo> how can i setup my f200 crypto modem i already have ubuntu dapper release?
[12:41] <jasonm> KenSentMe, the access path is /media/sdb1
[12:41] <bon_> why doesnt flash work aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh try this page http://lab.andre-michelle.com/ lots of cool flash experments
[12:42] <jasonm> KenSentMe, ive closed and opened both
[12:42] <JanHammer> does anyone know why ubuntu would be limiting my refresh rate to 85?  And what is better gl or gl2
[12:42] <zzzen> flash doesn't work because *flash* is closed-source shit :)
[12:43] <KenSentMe> jasonm: go to disk manager and to the partition, choose deactivate and the click format
[12:43] <clparker> no its bc ubunto is inferior to mac
[12:43] <hyphenated> JanHammer: because it probed your monitor to get a list of refresh rates, and your monitor didn't report any higher than 85Hz
[12:44] <zzzen> clparker: define inferior. also, do you find ubuntu chatrooms superior to mac ones
[12:44] <KenSentMe> hyphenated: he doesn't want a higher rate but a lower
[12:44] <anonymouse> !vnc
[12:44] <ubotu> vnc is a (slow) way of doing remote desktop, x11vnc uses your current session. A faster remote desktop is !freenx
[12:44] <JanHammer> hyphenated, ffs it ONLY lists 85, nothing lower or higher
[12:44] <jasonm> KenSentMe, its already disabled, theres only an enable button
[12:44] <anonymouse> !freenx
[12:44] <ubotu> freenx is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeNX
[12:44] <KenSentMe> jasonm: can you choose format?
[12:44] <clparker> chatrooms are the only thing ubunto has going for itself
[12:44] <anonymouse> thanks ubotu
[12:44] <hyphenated> JanHammer: for a laugh, run 'sudo ddcprobe' in a terminal, and put the output in a pastebin
[12:44] <cius> zzzen, :-) I ws wondering about that myself
[12:45] <few> what should i do to have XV mplayer video output driver( i compiled it). And what is better gl or gl2( this is what i have at this moment)
[12:45] <fiyawerx_> anon have you got freenx running?
[12:45] <bioticpro> clparker: ubuntu supports more hardware than mac, and is free
[12:45] <fiyawerx_> having a rough time with it here
[12:45] <JanHammer> "sudo: dccprobe: command not found
[12:45] <JanHammer> "
[12:45] <jasonm> KenSentMe, yes
[12:45] <sharket> hello
[12:45] <jasonm> KenSentMe, i just clicked format
[12:45] <KenSentMe> jasonm: then choose ext3
[12:45] <anonymouse> fiyawerx_: until 2 minutes ago i didn't know it existed.
[12:46] <Usunny> any one of you guys got an asus pundit ?
[12:46] <clparker> clparker is my slave name, i go by mohammed akawahow now
[12:46] <anonymouse> fiyawerx_: i came here to see if anyone knew how to enable vnc before a user was logged on.  I'll try freenx
[12:46] <KenSentMe> jasonm: then define a folder in wich the drive should be accesible
[12:46] <Leafw> is there anyway to tell apt-get to do a 'clean' for packages that have not yet been configured ?
[12:47] <jasonm> KenSentMe, formating is now done, it says its ext3 but it says 76.33 gb not availible. and the enable button does not do anything
[12:47] <Leafw> my disk run out of space before finishing the configure
[12:47] <fiyawerx_> anonymouse: im trying to redo it again now, would love to know if you can get it working
[12:47] <jasonm> KenSentMe, what do you mean define the folder
[12:48] <KenSentMe> jasonm: you could change /media/sdb1 to something else
[12:48] <KenSentMe> jasonm: i've mounted a partition to the folder /projects for example
[12:48] <clparker> LINUX IS FOR SLAVES!
[12:48] <jvai> lol
[12:48] <anonymouse> fiyawerx_: will let you know
[12:49] <andax> how do I change the sound card used for alsa oss emulation?
[12:49] <jasonm> can i just call it media because thats what i want in it
[12:49] <clparker> LINUX IS FOR NERDS THAT LIVE IN THEIR MOMS BASEMENT
[12:49] <jvai> linux is for trailsetters
[12:49] <KenSentMe> jasonm: the problem is that all external drives are mounted in media, like /media/cdrom etc
[12:49] <cius> I agree, I get free milk and cookies this way though
[12:49] <zzzen> clparker. You could be a perfect troop for OMF: http://principiadiscordia.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=3&sid=83db529cd76c3330522866a2fcd01110
[12:49] <zzzen> but they don't advertize products, though
[12:49] <KenSentMe> jasonm: but you could call it /media/jason
[12:50] <jasonm> KenSentMe, how do i do that
[12:50] <zzzen> jasonm: sudo mkdir /media/jason
[12:51] <jasonm> now what?
[12:52] <hyphenated> JanHammer: ddcprobe, not dccprobe ;-)
[12:52] <KenSentMe> jasonm: go to disk managaer, your partition, choose deactivate (if needed), click change and fill in /media/jason
[12:52] <zzzen> jasonm: now you have a mountpoint, so you can manually sudo mount /dev/something /media/jason
[12:52] <zzzen> or add it to fstab
[12:52] <rigonatti> hi all !
[12:52] <KenSentMe> jasonm: or you could do what zzzen says
[12:52] <rigonatti> does anyone know how to move a directory and copy trough terminal ?
[12:52] <KenSentMe> rigonatti: hi there
[12:52] <rigonatti> !terminal
[12:52] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via applications -> accessories -> terminal (gnome) or kmenu -> system -> konsole (kde). Manuals: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BasicCommands
[12:53] <Usunny> mv <folder>
[12:53] <jonex> I installed the normal ubuntu, and now I want 64bit dual core support. But I can't find any such kernel in my reposotories.
[12:53] <KenSentMe> rigonatti: cd /var/www is change to folder /var/www, cp is copy
[12:53] <jonex> What to do?
[12:53] <kkman> Looking for a tutorial /how-to for installing wpa
[12:53] <kkman> any suggestions ?
[12:53] <KenSentMe> !tell kkman about wpa
[12:54] <lnxkde> someone knows a good place to buy a domain?
[12:55] <fiyawerx_> anonymouse: i get this when setting it up "COMMAND_START_KDE=/usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session startkde"
[12:55] <jonex> lnxkde, Depends on the ending, godaddy is alright for com, net and org I guess.
[12:55] <fiyawerx_> looks like it doesnt like that command for some reason
[12:55] <ryanakca> would it be possible to install ubuntu with debian boot floppies? and then when you run /usr/sbin/base-config, just put in ubuntu repos instead of deb?<
[12:56] <jasonm> still doesnt work
[12:56] <jasonm> thanks for the help
[12:56] <JanHammer> hyphenated, oh ^_^
[12:56] <jasonm> i have to go to work
[12:56] <jasonm> thanks again guys, bye
[12:56] <sysdoc> lnxkde, aplus.net
[12:57] <JanHammer> hyphenated, want me to PM you it?
[12:57] <fiyawerx_> rather, "Invalid value " on that error above
[12:57] <hyphenated> JanHammer: pastebin. eg: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[12:57] <fiyawerx_> comes up for gnome too
[12:58] <JanHammer> hyphenated, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16295
[12:58] <pooya> is there a Human theme for thunderbird?
[12:58] <JanHammer> Pooya, google is your friend ^_^
[12:58] <pooya> JanHammer, couldn't find one
[12:59] <sysdoc> human?
[12:59] <pooya> JanHammer, found one for firefix
[12:59] <pooya> yes
[12:59] <pooya> Human is default theme for ubuntu
[12:59] <JanHammer> yes
[12:59] <JanHammer> I know
[12:59] <Jemt> !dapper
[12:59] <ubotu> dapper is the 4th and latest release of Ubuntu. Version 6.06 LTS, codename "Dapper Drake"
[12:59] <ebaad>  i have done the upgrade to Dapper, shall i restart the system to see the difference
[01:00] <Jemt> ebaad: Yes
[01:00] <ebaad> thanks
[01:00] <pooya> also, any recommendation on how to take care of filesystem?
[01:00] <Jemt> ebaad: Depending whether Dapper contains a new kernel, it might be enough to just restart X
[01:00] <sysdoc> question: will the upgrade break a custom kernel?
[01:00] <Jemt> ah, bugger
[01:00] <TonySt> Right.... I updated to kubuntu 6.6, and accidently erased most of my config files. I can reconstruct most of them, but one thing is puzzling me: The volume on my machine is now almost inaudibly low. Anyone know why, or how I could fix it?
[01:01] <Jemt> TonySt: I prefer adjusting the volume using aumix - try that
[01:01] <Usunny> im thinking about geting the 64bit version of ubuntu, is that a really bad idea ? sounds like lots of stuff dosent work :S
[01:01] <pattersj> how to get KDE packages in order to write them to CD without apt-get?
[01:01] <Jemt> TonySt: If it dosn't exist, then 'apt-get install aumix'
[01:01] <Foci> Hey all i'm about to start my first install of Ubuntu... any suggestions??
[01:02] <Trooper_> anybody give me some steam + wine or cedega help
[01:02] <Jemt> Usunny: I can recommend Breezy if that exists in a 64 bit version. It is quite stable. Dapper sucks in my opinion
[01:02] <Usunny> hmm ok :s
[01:02] <fiyawerx_> man even after apt-get install gnome-desktop, i still get Invalid value "COMMAND_START_GNOME=/usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session gnome-session"
[01:02] <livingdaylight> i dont understand why people use Suse
[01:02] <TonySt> Jemt: Well, the thing is, i'm not connected to the internet just yet, that's been erased with the configs. I'll work on getting the net up right now, as i'll need that someday anyway.
[01:02] <TonySt> Jemt: thanks
[01:02] <compengi> in ubuntu can i know my uptime?
[01:02] <livingdaylight> xpm -Uvh? Yikes!
[01:02] <sysdoc> OK, let me ask this then. Is there a www page for detail instructions on how to upgrade to dapper, and the requirements?
[01:02] <gnomefreak> compengi: uptime
[01:02] <fiyawerx_> type uptime at a console prompt, will do it, compengi
[01:03] <jrib> ubotu: tell sysdoc about upgrade
[01:03] <Jemt> TonySt: Welcome :)
[01:03] <sysdoc> jrib, thank you
[01:03] <he11work> anyone here know why ubunto stops while loading and cant configure my wireless interface and just stops there and keeps trying till eventually i have to restart???
[01:03] <fiyawerx_> does anyone know a correct gnome startup command besides the one above?
[01:03] <jrib> sysdoc: that page doesn't have requirements, but if you can run breezy, then dapper should be ok
[01:03] <Solon12> when i click system / quit, only the "lock screen" button has an icon. is there some way to fix it so all the buttons have icons?
[01:04] <Jemt> he11work: I had the same problem - it took 1-5 minutes until it gave up. But when I logged into Gnome, it worked fine
[01:04] <Jemt> he11work: That was in Breezy though
[01:04] <Jemt> Solon12: Using Dapper og Breezy ?
[01:04] <udo> how can i setup my f200 crypto modem i already have ubuntu dapper release?
[01:04] <he11work> hmm idk what ig ot... im using Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake)
[01:04] <Jemt> Solon12: And have you changed the theme ? There is a bug in the Human theme. Don't know if it has been solved yet
[01:04] <rigonatti> hi all ....does anyone know why a script run in KDE and do not in Gnome ?
[01:05] <Solon12> Jemt: im using the newest version of ubuntu. yes, i changed the theme
[01:05] <Frem> How can I make firefox open mailto links using Thunderbird instead od Evolution?
[01:05] <JanHammer> hyphenated, prod.
[01:05] <Jemt> Solon12: Then try another theme - it might contain a bug
[01:06] <Jemt> Frem: You can set it in "Prefered applications"
[01:06] <jrib> Frem: system > preferences > preferred applications
[01:06] <Jemt> Frem: It is in one of the Preferences menues
[01:06] <andax> how do I change the default sound card used by old OSS-only apps?
[01:06] <hyphenated> JanHammer: that's where it gets some of the mode info for your monitor from, and is probably why you can only pick 85 for the refresh rate
[01:06] <Fluid0> to upgrade to dapper drake, i run the cd and then?
[01:06] <Solon12> Jemt: ive tried 3 different themes. same thing
[01:06] <jrib> ubotu: tell Fluid0 about upgrade
[01:06] <JanHammer> hyphenated, and how do I change?
[01:06] <Jemt> Solon12: Hm, weird. Don't know what could be causing it then
[01:07] <he11work> jemt:i'm running dapper drake u have any idea what i can do to fix it??
[01:07] <Leafw> anyone on powerpc? How can one set the command key to be the control key? It's not in the keyboard preferences
[01:07] <Jemt> he11work: Nope, unfortunately not.
[01:07] <he11work> bah thanks
[01:07] <rigonatti> can I resize icons on Gnome ? or change the size?
[01:07] <Jemt> he11work: I simply don't know - i just lieved with it.

[01:08] <grodius> Hi could someone help me im trying to compile the GAIM beta from source and I cant figure it out
[01:08] <jonex> What kernel should I use for my dual core athlon cpu?
[01:08] <rigonatti> can i even set my mime types icons manually ?
[01:08] <Jemt> he11work: And do you know which card there is your wireless? (ie. eth1)
[01:08] <rigonatti> !icons
[01:08] <ubotu> Want to see volume/trash icons on the desktop? Go to /apps/nautilus/desktop in gconf-editor (Gnome) or go to http://kudos.berlios.de/kf/kisimlar/tipsntrix.html#showtrash (KDE)

[01:09] <jrib> !fishing
[01:09] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots
[01:09] <Jemt> he11work: I doubt it is ra0 - I've never seen that in Ubuntu
[01:09] <grodius> jrib i wasnt aware of any available debs, where are they?
[01:09] <Jemt> he11work: What chipset ?
[01:09] <jrib> ubotu: tell grodius about gaim2
[01:09] <he11work> Jemt thats what it says when i run iwconfig and when i do the network settings thing
[01:10] <Jemt> he11work: Paste 'ifconfig -a' to a pastebin
[01:10] <salah> hi people. I have a joystick which is plugged in to the game port on my sound card, where is the device by default? (like /dev/sound0 or something)
[01:10] <he11work> im on my windows OS right now since i cant get into ubuntu
[01:10] <fiyawerx_> after installing gnome-desktop, does this look wrong to anyone? /usr/bin/dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session gnome-session

[01:12] <judah> wizardjames: stick with something with an atheros chipset or prism2 chipset for most functionality.
[01:12] <Socceroos_Woooot> !gaim2

[01:13] <ardchoille> fiyawerx_: I installed the Ubuntu desktop CD

[01:19] <arigoss> there are "packages" that are installed, that I don't know how to access
[01:19] <arigoss> they aren't in the edit menus either

[01:21] <arigoss> so i have to access them in terminal socceroos?
[01:21] <Socceroos_Woooot> arigoss: does the system menu have "About Gnome" in it?

[01:21] <fiyawerx_> anonymouse: i just redid the install with dpkg and the file from freenx, it installed fine, and i still have the same problem, the client connects and then nothing happens
[01:22] <Socceroos_Woooot> arigoss: hmm ok
[01:22] <Socceroos_Woooot> pandamonium: and thanks!
[01:22] <fiyawerx_> like it just never starts anything on my client machine, if i look in the session manager, the sessions there, i just don't know what to do with it, hehe
[01:22] <kr4z> neotard: I'm trying to use my laptop's LCD and an external VGA monitor with one desktop across them, and I got it half working, but there seems to be an invisible part where my mouse can go that's off the edge of my laptop's LCD (it's a smaller resolution)
[01:22] <constantine-xvi> getting bunches of 403's when i try to apt-get update, have tried archive , se.archive, us.archive and the first mirror on the US list
[01:22] <arigoss> should I have a systems menu socceroos? and if so, why don't I? heh
[01:22] <anonymouse> fiyawerx_: well i'll try using command line to install instead.  i am just annoyed that there's a package manager GUI and I can't use it =)
[01:22] <neotard> kr4z:  if the screens are different resolutions, it will
[01:22] <anonymouse> will let you know what i find.
[01:23] <few> How to play all video's in one player ( mplayer) I want one stoping another running not like now - new running old playing how to do this
[01:23] <pandamonium> arigoss, if you look at your menu at the top, clicking is there "Applications Places System"?
[01:23] <kr4z> neotard: ah
[01:23] <Socceroos_Woooot> arigoss: if you installed the gnome version you would.  You might have another ubuntu flavour (kubuntu or xubuntu)
[01:23] <fiyawerx_> oh, yeah im doing all this via sssh from work into home so have to use the command line anonymouse
[01:23] <sysdoc> I tell you guys something this channel just rocks. I installed Mandriva and popped into their channel and it was dead. You guys are doing a great job here. Keep it up
[01:23] <neotard> kr4z:  the desktop is essentially one BIG rectangle, and your two monitors are little squares looking into it.
[01:23] <Socceroos_Woooot> sysdoc: onya! :)
[01:24] <sysdoc> lol
[01:24] <kr4z> neotard: is there no way to stop the mouse from going there?
[01:24] <neotard> kr4z:  as you can imagine, if you have a smaller and a bigger sitting next to each other there will be dead space.
[01:24] <arigoss> no
[01:24] <pandamonium> did you enjoy the game Socceroos_Woooot ?
[01:24] <arigoss> if I goto edit the menu, a system tools shows up that doesn't actually show in the menu
[01:24] <Socceroos_Woooot> pandamonium: no :P
[01:24] <fiyawerx_> gonna enable some logging and see what i get
[01:24] <fiyawerx_> ls
[01:24] <fiyawerx_> oops
[01:24] <Socceroos_Woooot> pandamonium: don't start me.  And it's O/T :)
[01:24] <neotard> kr4z:  no, but the mouse only knows about the big rectangle, not the little ones :)
[01:24] <arigoss> actually, it just says system. My bad
[01:24] <arigoss> system tools in add/remove application
[01:25] <pandamonium> Socceroos_Woooot, you're through though... so let's leave it at that
[01:25] <few> Do you ignore me? How to open new video in the same player( Mplayer) Help please
[01:25] <Socceroos_Woooot> pandamonium: indeed :)
[01:25] <Kodfish> Hey! yesterday i heard it is possible to run xfce under ubuntu without installing xubuntu. is that true?
[01:25] <constantine-xvi> unable to apt-get from 5 different mirrors
[01:25] <pandamonium> fair dinkum mate ;)
[01:25] <he11work> Jemt: u here still?? i got my stuff now :D
[01:25] <Jemt> he11work: show me :)
[01:25] <he11work> sweet :D
[01:25] <he11work> ok...
[01:25] <neotard> Kodfish:  sure, why wouldn't it be?
[01:26] <kr4z> neotard: hmm, ok. There's another problem I'm having though, whenever I log out and log in as a different user the dual monitors stop working
[01:26] <constantine-xvi> Kodfish: apt-get install xfce4, assuming your apt-get is up
[01:26] <he11work> join #nub so i dont spam here
[01:26] <he11work> :P
[01:26] <Socceroos_Woooot> few: unlikely you're being ignored. just that people don't know
[01:26] <kr4z> neotard: in very strange ways
[01:26] <Kodfish> thanks! =D
[01:26] <Kodfish> how do i switch to it after i get it?
[01:26] <kr4z> neotard: in that the mouse can go off the edge of the screen, but it's not the side where the other monitor used to be
[01:26] <pandamonium> (and no... I don't know any aussies who actually say that except for that bloke from home and away
[01:26] <he11work> Jemt: join #nub please so i can spam that useless chan instead of this one :p
[01:26] <Socceroos_Woooot> pandamonium: lol
[01:27] <constantine-xvi> Kodfish: b4 you log in, click Options, then session
[01:27] <KenSentMe> Does anyone know how i can make media files on my desktop show up by a certain icon, rather than showing a thumbnail of the content?
[01:27] <Kodfish> cool. thanks a ton.
[01:27] <pandamonium> anyway, tinkering in ubuntu is a little trickier than other distros
[01:27] <neotard> Kodfish:  after you restart gdm, before logging in make sure to choose a different session
[01:27] <Sloppy> hello?
[01:27] <KenSentMe> hi?
[01:27] <pandamonium> not trickier as such... more PITA using sudo
[01:27] <Sloppy> I have a quick question
[01:28] <neotard> pandamonium:  you can always "sudo bash" :)
[01:28] <constantine-xvi> can anyone else apt-get update from any archive without getting a bunch of 403s?
[01:28] <Socceroos_Woooot> pandamonium: aahh, or 'sudo -i'
[01:28] <Sloppy> I am settting up two drives in raid 0, should I have each drive on its own channel or can I just plug them both into one
[01:28] <pandamonium> neotard, does that open up a su enabled terminal?
[01:28] <neotard> pandamonium:  try it out :)
[01:28] <kr4z> neotard: any ideas about the second problem?
[01:28] <LjL> constantine-xvi: sure
[01:28] <valehru> does ubuntu support the 2.4 kernel?
[01:28] <constantine-xvi> LjL: which archive?
[01:29] <LjL> constantine-xvi: a mixture of the french and italian ones, currently
[01:29] <pandamonium> even our lass is getting to grips with it though
[01:29] <neotard> kr4z:  I was looking because I didn't off the top of my head :)
[01:29] <kr4z> ahh
[01:29] <Socceroos_Woooot> valehru: The Hoary release (5.04) does
[01:29] <billybennett> Can someone help me run a command every 15 mins using cron?
[01:29] <valehru> ok thx
[01:29] <kr4z> neotard: I suspect it has something to do with gnome
[01:29] <Caroline_wp> Hey everyone
[01:30] <LjL> !cron
[01:30] <ubotu> cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. There is a decent howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[01:30] <neotard> kr4z:  assuming your configuration of xorg is good, there shouldn't be any change there.
[01:30] <billybennett> hi Caroline_wp
[01:30] <distanceisdeath> how do i install a .bin?
[01:30] <valehru> need 2.4 for open mosix thx Socceroos_Woooot
[01:30] <pandamonium> i don't know if it's ubuntu putting things in strange places or what but webmin seems to need some tweaking
[01:30] <kr4z> neotard: I used the "Screen Resolution" thing to change the resolution to 1024x768 when I took off the second monitor one time, and then when I changed it back dual monitors stopped working on that user
[01:30] <neotard> kr4z:  tbh, don't know much about the x environment much.  but spent the last couple of weeks twiddling with fglrx and radeon drivers :)
[01:30] <kr4z> heh
[01:30] <kr4z> I see
[01:31] <ardchoille> distanceisdeath: a .bin file needs to be launched:  sh filename.bin
[01:31] <carlos> hello
[01:31] <valehru> distanceisdeath, ./nameoffile.bin
[01:31] <valehru> sh filename bin
[01:31] <distanceisdeath> okay
[01:31] <kr4z> neotard: I've been trying to figure this out for like a week :S
[01:31] <pandamonium> but i *do* like the usb pendrive support
[01:31] <kr4z> neotard: fglrx doesn't seem to have much documentation
[01:31] <carlos> necesitoooo ayuda
[01:31] <ardchoille> !sp
[01:31] <ubotu> I know nothing about sp
[01:31] <ardchoille> !es

[01:32] <guard> kr4z: /usr/share/doc/xdriver-fglrx. read this is more then enough doc
[01:32] <kr4z> ahhh
[01:32] <kr4z> thanks
[01:32] <guard> ur welcomed
[01:32] <carlos> hello
[01:32] <neotard> kr4z:  doesn't talk about all the incompatibilies you'll come in contact with once you have it running :
[01:32] <neotard> :p
[01:32] <guard> kr4z: all docs for any installed package is in /usr/share/doc/packagename
[01:32] <pandamonium> a proper operating system doesn't need to know what format a drive is, and ubuntu just mounts the flash disk
[01:33] <Socceroos_Woooot> valehru: i'm terribly sorry, i think that answer was wrong, i'm checking it
[01:33] <distanceisdeath> it says it cannot execute the binary file
[01:33] <he11work> Jetm:join #nub again please :D
[01:33] <he11work> forgot aobut the kick on spam hting :p
[01:33] <valehru> Socceroos_Woooot, thx..
[01:33] <neotard> pandamonium:  how would an operating system operate w/o knowing what filesystem it is using?
[01:33] <kr4z> guard: hmm, there doesn't seem to be a directory for fglrx
[01:34] <kr4z> neotard: incompatibilities?
[01:34] <guard> kr4z: dpkg -L xdriver-fglrx will tell you where the docs are
[01:34] <pandamonium> sorry neotard the layers beneath the o/s i mean
[01:34] <guard> kr4z: or if you are more familiar with synaptic you can check installed files
[01:34] <kinnetica> can anyone help me change the default mp3 player?  i just installed xxms and have had troubles making it the default.
[01:35] <neotard> pandamonium:  the bios is below the os...
[01:35] <jrib> !default
[01:35] <ubotu> To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations"
[01:35] <Socceroos_Woooot> valehru: yes, i've checked on http://packages.ubuntu.com (searching for linux-image).  Ubuntu has been 2.6.x since it's first release.  Apologies for initially misleading you

[01:35] <kr4z> guard: apparently the documentation is the copyright and the changelog :S
[01:35] <valehru> Socceroos_Woooot, no problem
[01:35] <pandamonium> what i mean is at o/s layer it tells the application layers "i've got it" and they believe it
[01:35] <neotard> use pastebin
[01:35] <valehru> you wouldnt know a distro with that kernel though?

[01:36] <he11work> im not using ubunto.. im on windows atm.... till i can figure this out :d
[01:36] <constantine-xvi> no matter what mirror i use, most of the repositories bounce out with a 403 in apt-get update
[01:36] <Jemt> he11work: Put it on pastebin.org
[01:36] <valehru> @ Socceroos_Woooot , you wouldnt know a distro with that kernel though?
[01:36] <he11work> k

[01:39] <guard> kr4z: sorry seems i have lot to do to restore the system before my renistall. i am sure i got the docs from the dir i told you about check the zip files and installed files on your sys. good luck and now i have 6-7 hours of config and restore take care
[01:39] <ebaad> I have tested almost everything
[01:39] <Socceroos_Woooot> ebaad: sorry about that
[01:39] <JanHammer> I fixed my res issue
[01:39] <ebaad> no problem
[01:39] <ebaad> congrats Janhammer
[01:39] <JanHammer> turns out if I just set the res in xorg, X auto calcs the needed refresh
[01:39] <ebaad> you have been struggling with it for a while
[01:39] <JanHammer> so now I'm on 60
[01:40] <ebaad> wow
[01:40] <ebaad> thats great news
[01:40] <JanHammer> yeah :P
[01:40] <pandamonium> generic question: if i am using a mail server, would it suffice to change my mx record at my ISP/domain host to my IP and will my server here pick it up or do I need to setup DNS?
[01:40] <he11work> Jemt: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16301
[01:40] <neotard> JanHammer:  it doesn't always get it right :)
[01:40] <he11work> if it worked thats it
[01:40] <ebaad> hey whatever works man
[01:40] <JanHammer> neotard, luckily this time it did ^_^
[01:40] <Mouzz> I have accidently removed 13 packages which I need... I have removed libgl1-mesa-dev which led to 13 pkg's to be removed... (I have names). Now if I try to reinstall them, I get dependency error's... Can anyone assist?
[01:40] <he11work> Jemt:first its ifconfig -a then its iwconfig, then its lspci -v i think
[01:40] <Jemt> he11work: Checking
[01:40] <judah> pandamonium: dns will have to resolv whatever domain you use for mail to the ip of the primary mx.
[01:41] <steve> pan: you'd need dns
[01:41] <he11work> thanks Jemt :D
[01:41] <neotard> Mouzz:  just uninstalled and want to reinstall, when you do system says you need another package and it won't be installed?
[01:41] <constantine-xvi> does anyone know what on mars is wrong with the package archives?
[01:41] <ebaad> i guess now i will try to work on the things that were not working in Breezey
[01:42] <ebaad> just one comment that I lost the installation of office suite
[01:42] <pandamonium> judah, can i set that ip at my remote dns only or do i need to set it up on the local system too?
[01:42] <Mouzz> neotard: If i try to install e.g. lib-cairo2-dev, it sais: libcairo2-dev: Depends: libcairo2 (1.0.4) but 1.1.10 is to be installed
[01:42] <Jemt> he11work: My guess would still be eth1 being your wireless network card. Try 'dhclient eth1' to optain an IP adress to it. You could also try using the Networking manager found under "Administration" or "Preferences" (don't remeber which)
[01:42] <JanHammer> heh, did you guys notice that dapper drake doesn't have xscreensaver installed default? :/
[01:43] <KenSentMe> JanHammer: it works now? great!
[01:43] <judah> pandamonium: sounds like you might want to draw it out on paper.. and your dns for the domain will have to correspond to where your mail is sent.
[01:43] <Jemt> he11work: Wait.. You need to set a SSID first - 'dhclient eth1' alone won't work
[01:43] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, yep :>
[01:43] <fiyawerx_> anonymouse: im ready to give up on i386 as well, heh
[01:43] <steve> xscreensaver seems to be there, CLI not as normal though
[01:43] <judah> you can update the main ip for your domain to something other than what it's already set too.
[01:43] <KenSentMe> JanHammer: you added 1280 or what?
[01:43] <neotard> Mouzz:  what's "dpkg --configure --pending" do for you?
[01:43] <JanHammer> yeah, and X calced the needed refresh KenSentMe
[01:43] <KenSentMe> JanHammer: cool
[01:44] <JanHammer> the monitor didn't go boom
[01:44] <he11work> Jemt: ive already configured all that stuff, the only thing left is the dhcp i think.. i did all the commands for the right freq,mode,essid,key and whatnot
[01:44] <judah> ie.. foo.org used to be <IP_ADDRESS> and then you update the dns record so that foo.org now points to <IP_ADDRESS> where you want to start running your mail server.
[01:44] <Mouzz> neotard: no output at all
[01:44] <judah> ie.. don't change the ips of the machines.. change the dns records.
[01:45] <JanHammer> KenSentMe, if you ever see anyone with that problem be sure to remember that :P
[01:45] <judah> then of course.. configure postfix to accept mail for foo.org AND NOT BE AN OPEN RELAY..
[01:45] <neotard> Mouzz:  when you do install using apt, add "-f"
[01:46] <judah> open relay == SO BAD..
[01:46] <pandamonium> judah, i have a domain with a certain supplier who provides a DNS management tool. i can set mx there. if i set that to my local IP, i have a hardware router with the ubuntu box behind (client side). what i was wondering is... do i need to setup a dns on the local side of the router?
[01:46] <he11work> Jemt: this is what ive already done with it http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16303
[01:46] <judah> and if you don't know about that.. plz learn about that before setting up a mail server.
[01:46] <Mouzz> neotard: I installed XGL (which worked) but I wanted to uninstall so I backtracked my steps and instead of 'apt-get install [pkg-X] ' I did a 'apt-get removed [pkg-X] ' and I didn't realize it would remove 13 pkgs
[01:46] <neotard> open relay can get your port closed on some ISPs :)
[01:47] <Jemt> Checking
[01:47] <Mouzz> neotard: With -f, still the same result
[01:47] <he11work> thanks Jemt :D
[01:47] <Jemt> :)
[01:47] <carverk> who are the maker of prosavage graphics cards
[01:47] <judah> pandamonium: as long as your local machine (the mail server) can resolv names to the internet you will be fine.. you don't HAVE to run bind on your mail server.
[01:47] <KenSentMe> JanHammer: i sure will
[01:47] <Jemt> he11work: Sorry, I don't know the iwconfig tool. Use the Networking manager
[01:47] <neotard> Mouzz:  have you changed anything in your /etc/apt/Sources.list recently?
[01:47] <judah> pandamonium: as long as the internet knows how to get to your local server.
[01:47] <Jemt> he11work: I can't say if you have messed up some configuration files now
[01:48] <neotard> Mouzz:  sounds like you have discrepencies between the repository and your local machine.  try an "apt-get update" then reinstall
[01:48] <neotard> Mouzz:  reinstall the package you want :)
[01:48] <he11work> jemt: ive tried that.... and i configured it, and activated it and i hit ok and it goes and does its thing and i dont get any errors, but then i try to go online and it doesnt work, and then if i try to use the dhcp on network manager then it freezes up when i hit ok
[01:48] <JanHammer> hum, where have half the screensavers gone on the settings? and BSOD (that one was uber :/)
[01:49] <Mouzz> neotard: yes... I removed the sources of the packages I had installed...
[01:49] <neotard> Mouzz:  that would be it then
[01:49] <neotard> Mouzz:  :)
[01:49] <judah> he11work: it'll return.. it's just waiting for your dhcp lease..
[01:49] <constantine-xvi> neotard: unless my corner of earth is in bizarroland, the apt archives are bouncing out 403s
[01:49] <judah> he11work: make sure you get a valid nameserver from your dhcp server..
[01:49] <judah> he11work: check in /etc/resolv.conf for a line mentioning nameserver
[01:49] <he11work> judah: ive waited over 3 minutes before.. the clock on the comp even freezes
[01:49] <neotard> Mouzz:  if you removed a source from Sources.list, then you need to run update
[01:49] <JanHammer> hum, where have half the screensavers gone on the settings? and BSOD (that one was uber :/)
[01:50] <judah> he11work: well i doin't know anything about that then.. sorry.
[01:50] <neotard> Mouzz:  if you're using one of the graphical tools choose the update option, or run "apt-get update" from the commandline
[01:50] <he11work> thansk anyway judah ill try looking in /etc/resolf.conf when i get back on ubuntu
[01:50] <pandamonium> ok... thanks judah. i'm going to use a remote smtp with authentication to send mail rather than a local service. i think i can set my server to do that, yes?
[01:50] <neotard> Mouzz:  sorry, "sudo apt-get update"
[01:50] <Jemt> he11work: Hm, weird.
[01:50] <neotard> constantine-xvi:  I haven't had any issues
[01:51] <he11work> Jemt:yeah and ive read up everything i can about the belkin g wirless F5D7000 wireless cards
[01:51] <constantine-xvi> neotard: what archive do you use?
[01:51] <Jemt> he11work: Could be a driver problem
[01:52] <Awesome-o2000> he11work, I had the same problem. My kernel panicked and froze my box every timme. I gave up on it. I wish you the best
[01:52] <he11work> lol thanks Awesome-o2000 :P
[01:52] <neotard> constantine-xvi:  default sources
[01:52] <constantine-xvi> odd
[01:52] <Awesome-o2000> sorry man but I dont see any evidence of ndiswrapper working yet
[01:52] <neotard> constantine-xvi:  just installed php5
[01:53] <he11work> damn i dont wanna buy a new damn wireless card.. that would suck.. but ide be much cheaper then getting an actual version of windows....
[01:53] <Mouzz> neotard: I added sources, ran update, installed packages, [tried em out] , removed sources, ran update, uninstalled packages...
[01:53] <Mouzz> neotard: That's what happened I think.
[01:53] <pandamonium> i've also been having some printer trouble... it seems quite trivial but i've tried a few things
[01:53] <neotard> Mouzz:  yeah, but you probably updated more than just that package it sounds like
[01:53] <vanberge> hellwork, you trying to get wireless to work on a laptop?
[01:53] <he11work> no a desktop
[01:53] <Awesome-o2000> he11work, the problem wasnt with my network card - I had two of them and one was unused
[01:53] <Usunny> " but ide be much cheaper then getting an actual version of windows...."  <-- :D
[01:54] <pandamonium> local printing is fine
[01:54] <vanberge> hellwork, did you try ndiswrapper?
[01:54] <Snowfairy> I had to switch motherboards and it's not using eth0 and eth2 as my ethernet ports, is there a way to get it to renumber those properly?
[01:54] <he11work> i treid the command in ubuntu, but it said it wasnt a valid command... i think i had it installed on my comp but for some reason coudlnt get it to install when i tried to install it
[01:55] <JanHammer> Another question: what happened to xscreensaver in 6.06 of ubuntu? it's HIGHLY sugarcoated and screensavers have been removed
[01:55] <fletc900> Yeah
[01:55] <pandamonium> but from a windows machine (the wife's laptop) it doesn't seem to want to play at all. i have samba installed and can see the ubuntu box and connect using samba
[01:55] <vanberge> hellwork, i think you have to add the universe and multiverse  repos to get ndiswrapper
[01:55] <sysdoc> Will the dapper upgrade throw in a nvidia driver by default?
[01:55] <vanberge> hellwork, then you can do apt-get install ndiswrapper
[01:55] <fletc900> use linuxant it works!
[01:55] <JanHammer> Seveas, are you a dev?
[01:55] <neotard> Mouzz:  hmm, lib-cairo.. what version of ubontu you working on?
[01:55] <Mouzz> neotard: What would be the best way to undo all that I have done? :) Is it possible?
[01:55] <pandamonium> but the printing doesn't want to know at all
[01:55] <fletc900> CRTL-Z
[01:56] <JanHammer> Another question: what happened to xscreensaver in 6.06 of ubuntu? it's HIGHLY sugarcoated and screensavers have been removed. And how do I get it back? >:|
[01:56] <he11work> vanberge: im running windows XP right now to get online, i cant plug in
[01:56] <vanberge> ahh, gotcha
[01:56] <fletc900> Use the socket
[01:56] <pandamonium> incompatible drivers it says
[01:56] <neotard> Mouzz:  do and "apt-get clean" follow by "apt-get update" then "apt-get upgrade"
[01:56] <vanberge> can you use shortcut keys to switch between desktops?
[01:56] <vanberge> 1-4 ?
[01:56] <fletc900> yes
[01:57] <jrib> vanberge: yes, check in system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[01:57] <Mouzz> neotard: 6.06
[01:57] <he11work> vanberge: idk how to get both my OS's running at the same time.....
[01:57] <neotard> vanberge:  by default in X it's CTRL-LEFT/RIGHT
[01:57] <vanberge> jrib: tyvm
[01:57] <vanberge> hellwork, you can't plug in wiht network at al?
[01:57] <neotard> vanberge:  CTRL-ALT-LEFT/RIGHT, rather
[01:57] <vanberge> neotard: tyvm...
[01:57] <vanberge> :-)
[01:58] <Aap> hi i have a little prob: i want to play Enemy Territory, but when i run it, my resolution is changed and the game doesn't run
[01:58] <Usunny> define little :s
[01:58] <he11work> vanberge: no i cant... is there any other way??
[01:58] <Aap> sombody has a clue?
[01:58] <vanberge> hellwork... do you ahve dual boot set up?
[01:58] <he11work> eyah
[01:59] <Mouzz> neotard: "apt-get clean; apt-get update; apt-get upgrade" with what sources? Should I remove the XGL sources I added before?
[01:59] <vanberge> hellwork:  so you ubuntu can see your ntfs partition?
[01:59] <he11work> yeah
[01:59] <sysdoc> vanberge, there ya go
[01:59] <vanberge> hellwork, i suppose you might be able to download the ndiswrapper  package?
[02:00] <Aap> anybody tried to play "enemy territory" here?
[02:00] <neotard> Mouzz:  clean, clears out your repository of all the newer pacjkages you downloaded.  update will then rebuild the pointers in the fr the repository.  upgrade will then check dependencies and do the necessary work.
[02:00] <neotard> Aap:  play it all the time
[02:00] <SeanTater> artsd has some memory leak as is consuming 50% of available memory
[02:00] <vanberge> sysdoc: what do you mean?
[02:00] <neotard> Aap:  no, idk why you'd have issues though :)
[02:00] <he11work> vanberge:and how do i install it then in linux??
[02:00] <he11work> what are the commands?
[02:00] <dicesquirrel> Question... I just installed tdfsb from Synaptic, from one of the Ubuntu repos, and when I try to run it, I get a freeglut error like so. http://pastebin.ca/69477
[02:00] <sysdoc> vanberge, not to but in or anything but you are on the right track.
[02:00] <SeanTater> how do I stop artsd on it's memory-hoarding rampage?!
[02:00] <Aap> neotard: you have nvidia?
[02:01] <neotard> Aap:  nope
[02:01] <Aap> i have
[02:01] <dicesquirrel> What can I do to get this running? I can run other opengl apps like Enemy Territory just fine.
[02:01] <vanberge> lol, sysdoc - maybe you can tell hellwork the correct command to install the package?  :-)
[02:01] <sysdoc> vanberge,  suck down the drivers in windows and then bang them in via ndiswrapper
[02:01] <vanberge> i dont remember it
[02:01] <sysdoc> ya I can do that
[02:01] <Aap> dicesquirrel: how did you get ET running?
[02:01] <sysdoc> not a problem
[02:01] <he11work> Seveas
[02:01] <he11work> bah
[02:02] <he11work> sysdoc, will u join #nub and explain it to me there :p
[02:02] <dicesquirrel> Aap: easily? there were no problems.
[02:02] <Aap> weird
[02:02] <dicesquirrel> Anyone have any experience using TDFSB? It looks ungodly cool, right out of Neuromancer or something.
[02:02] <Awesome-o2000> he11work, ndiswrapper is what killed me. SUpposedly it works, but I havent seen it do so
[02:03] <sysdoc> he11work, sure be right there
[02:03] <Aap> on my comp, ET can't start and turns the resolution into something really small
[02:03] <he11work> thanks
[02:03] <sysdoc> 1 sec
[02:03] <vanberge> Awesome-o2000: i use it in my laptop and have had no prolems.
[02:03] <he11work> i was running the live knopix cd for a while and i tried using ndiswrapper there to get it working... but it just wouldnt work for me :'(
[02:03] <Awesome-o2000> i wonder what causes that panic in kthread on my system...
[02:03] <neotard> dicesquirrel:  no.. but just installed it and got the same error :D
[02:03] <vanberge> Awesome-o2000: that might be why it  works for me... i dont use kde
[02:03] <dicesquirrel> neotard: heh, awesome. What's a squirrel to do?
[02:03] <vanberge> maybe?
[02:04] <Awesome-o2000> I dont use kde either.
[02:04] <ardchoille> he11work: There are some ndiswrapper users in #lfd, maybe they can help you out with it
[02:04] <vanberge> hellwork...  it hinki can help you if you need
[02:04] <he11work> join #nub if you can help me :D
[02:04] <he11work> thanks once again
[02:05] <cookiecaper> :\ I'm having problems with my new ATi card ... it keeps telling me no GL support is present for a lot of things, although I've installed all the fglrx stuff I can find and the official drivers.
[02:05] <Aap> i don't understand that ET shit anymore
[02:05] <Aap> one cool game on linux, and i can't play it
[02:05] <Awesome-o2000> cookiecaper, welcome to ATI on linux.
[02:05] <Awesome-o2000> Aap, what happened?
[02:05] <BSG75> hiya, I just installed banshee upon recommendation from here for my ipod.. anyone know how I tell to put songs in my ipod?
[02:05] <Awesome-o2000> no more et?
[02:05] <cookiecaper> Awesome-o2000, great, thanks man. Will someone help? : (
[02:05] <Aap> Awesome: it crashes when i want to start
[02:06] <Aap> well it never starts actually
[02:06] <Socceroos_Woooot> BSG75: banshee gets recommended a lot. Another is gtkpod
[02:06] <dicesquirrel> Aap: when I used it on Fedora Core 5, the first few times I started it up, I had to wait a long time before it would finally start up. And it would do that low-resolution scrolly desktop thing to me too.
[02:06] <dicesquirrel> Aap: Have you run it in the terminal?
[02:06] <Awesome-o2000> Aap, your video drivers are screwed up? it works great here
[02:07] <Aap> dicesquirrel: both in terminal and applications/other/ET
[02:07] <Socceroos_Woooot> BSG75: ignore that, i didn't read your question clearly :/
[02:07] <Aap> Awesome: i don't know about the drivers
[02:07] <dicesquirrel> BSG75: I've had more success with gtkpod, personally.
[02:07] <dicesquirrel> Aap: what sort of messages does it give you? Any error messages?
[02:07] <dicesquirrel> Aap: There's a lot of threads about ET on the forums, might want to check there to see if anyone's had a similar experience.
[02:07] <BSG75> kk I will install gtkpod.. I plugged in my ipod and ubuntu saw it right away .. I just can't tell banshee to actually do something other than burn songs to cd
[02:08] <BSG75> which is rather annoying
[02:08] <Aap> i checked all forums
[02:08] <dicesquirrel> BSG75: Totally. I'm not a big fan of banshee. I use gtkpod for my iPod shuffle, and Rhythmbox for everything else :)
[02:09] <dicesquirrel> Aap: Does it hang, or actually crash?
[02:09] <vanberge> anybody good with 'vlc' ?
[02:09] <BSG75> hehe brb installing gtkpod
[02:09] <vanberge> trying to make it play dvd's
[02:09] <Usunny> vanberge , whats up?
[02:09] <Usunny> mkay ?
[02:09] <Aap> dicesquirrel: it's starting (still in the terminal) and my screenresolution changes
[02:09] <dicesquirrel> vanberge: have you used easyubuntu or automatix or something to install the appropriate codecs?
[02:09] <Usunny> im guessing it wont work ? :>
[02:10] <Usunny> vlc don't need no codecs ?
[02:10] <vanberge> dicesquirrel: Usunny,  i installed the proper codecs... totem-xine can play dvd just fine.  but i like vlc better.  :-)
[02:10] <Usunny> what kind of file is it ?
[02:10] <Aap> i downloaded the latest patch now
[02:10] <vanberge> Usunny: a dvd disk
[02:10] <Aap> so cross them fingers!
[02:10] <Usunny> ah
[02:10] <Usunny> i see
[02:10] <Intelligi> I almost got everything archived on another computer now.
[02:11] <dicesquirrel> Aap: if there aren't any errors, don't move your mouse to scroll the desktop or anything, just let it work for a while. If after five minutes of patience and no movement it hasn't started, then something's wrong.  I don't know, it's odd. VLC seems to work worse on Linux for me than it does on PC or Mac.
[02:11] <Aap> dicesquirrel: ok
[02:11] <Usunny> hm i really don't know then, sorry
[02:11] <Aap> i'm going to let it run and go for a smoke :d
[02:11] <dicesquirrel> vanberge: I've resigned myself to totem, personally, I find no big fault with it.
[02:11] <cookiecaper> :\ I'm having problems with my new ATi card ... it keeps telling me no GL support is present for a lot of things, although I've installed all the fglrx stuff I can find and the official drivers.
[02:12] <Aap> dicesquirrel: Sys_Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem
[02:12] <Aap>
[02:12] <vanberge> dicesquirrel: it must just be buggy... its playing fine now
[02:12] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: what sort of errors are you getting? API errors or something of that nature?
[02:12] <vanberge> when i would do it before, it would just close
[02:12] <dicesquirrel> vanberge: yeaaah, VLC is kinda sketchy like that for me too. Dunno what the deal is.
[02:12] <nGen> 20
[02:12] <Aap> dicesquirrel: Sys_Error: GLimp_Init() - could not load OpenGL subsystem -> you got that too?
[02:12] <vanberge> dicesquirrel: k... thnks.  :-)
[02:13] <nGen> ops
[02:13] <Intelligi> Nevermind, I just accidentally deleted th 1 file...some large porn file...
[02:13] <dicesquirrel> Aap: hrm... no, I didn't. What sort of card do you have?
[02:13] <Intelligi> Anyway, how do I save all my emails in Outlook Express?
[02:13] <Intelligi> It doesn't seem possible.
[02:13] <Aap> dicesquirrel: nvidia geforce
[02:13] <Mouzz> Is there something like a cache file for the /etc/apt/sources.list or something? I had removed a certain entry but it keeps popping up when running apt-get update.
[02:14] <cookiecaper> dicesquirrel, stellarium says, sdl: Couldn't set 1024x768 video mode: Couldn't find matching GLX visual!, mplayer -vo gl says [gl]  no GLX support present, tuxkart PW: Unable to open a suitable graphics window,
[02:14] <dicesquirrel> Aap: and how did you get your drivers for it?
[02:14] <Frederick> folks how do I remove the fortunes in portuguese? they suck
[02:14] <Aap> dicesquirrel : apt-get ....
[02:14] <lufis> If I compiled my kernel without iptables support, does that mean i have no firewall protection?
[02:14] <cookiecaper> dicesquirrel, I might be missing some stuff too, I haven't ever had functional 3d acceleration on here ... I just got this ATi card today.
[02:14] <crimsun> lufis: via netfilter, correct
[02:14] <dicesquirrel> Aap: I've found that either easyubuntu or Automatix works best for grabbing and applying the best drivers for your GPU. Try one of those, maybe?
[02:15] <lufis> crimsun: what?
[02:15] <Aap> dicesquirrel: so format my pc and put easyubuntu on it?
[02:15] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: ahh, there's a wiki entry that should work for you, it did for me... one sec
[02:15] <TLE> How can I execute a script at login time as root, add it in .xsession ?
[02:15] <dicesquirrel> Aap: no no, easyubuntu is just a program you run after you've installed ubuntu. Not like another distro or anything that drastic
[02:15] <Aap> ok, i'm in the really big resolution now
[02:16] <Aap> oh
[02:16] <Aap> can i apt-get that?
[02:16] <callie> hi guys, anyone ever lost the middle click paste function before?
[02:16] <Socceroos_Woooot> TLE: add it to /etc/rc.local
[02:16] <Mouzz> lufis: unless you have a different firewall than netfilter (unlikely) you don't have a firewall
[02:16] <dicesquirrel> Aap: Don't think so... but go to ubuntuforums.org and search for easyubuntu. It's a stickied thread
[02:16] <pianoboy3333> I recently compiled the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel, but internet doesn't work in it, does anyone know what I can do?
[02:16] <Aap> okay thx,
[02:16] <Aap> i started ET from the applications panel now
[02:16] <carmen> hola
[02:17] <Aap> and i'm in large resolution, maybe it will come, but in ps aux, i don't see it
[02:17] <carmen> hola alguien quiere charlar un rato con migo
[02:17] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[02:17] <gnomefreak> !es
[02:17] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[02:18] <dicesquirrel> hehe...wow
[02:18] <NILTON> hello
[02:18] <Intelligi> Ok, copied the .dbx files.
[02:18] <Intelligi> I am ready to install Ubuntu!
[02:18] <gnomefreak> !ati > cookiecaper
[02:18] <TLE> Socceroos_Woooot: Thanx, is that file executed when I log in as a user ?
[02:18] <carmen> hello
[02:18] <Intelligi> I have some questions about that.
[02:18] <Intelligi> Can anyone help me?
[02:18] <gnomefreak> carmen: join #ubuntu-es for spanish
[02:18] <dicesquirrel> Intelligi: good on you, Intelligi! Glad you're coming over to the Light Side
[02:19] <gnomefreak> Intelligi: ask them and we will see what we can do
[02:19] <Snowfairy> Is there some sort of manual configuration to the mpg123 previewing MP3 files in Nautilus?  It used to work, but I've had to change motherboards (hence sound).   Sound works, but previewing does not anymore.
[02:19] <Socceroos_Woooot> TLE: no, at boot time
[02:19] <dicesquirrel> Intelligi: you're not using the liveCD?
[02:19] <Snowfairy> Everything I can find online, simply says install mpg123... I've uninstalled and reinstalled and even done dpkg-reconfigure.  To no avail.
[02:19] <Intelligi> Ok, I want to completely get rid of Windows 98. I no longer want to use this OS at all. Should I format my hard drive first or something, or just stick the Live CD in?
[02:19] <Snowfairy> I remember when you didn't have to rely on Linux to do it for you ;)
[02:20] <carmen> HELLO
[02:20] <ardchoille> Intelligi: the install cd will take care of that for you
[02:20] <Aap> dicesquirrel: i can't even start easyubuntu (couldn't open display)
[02:20] <ardchoille> carmen: hello
[02:20] <dicesquirrel> Intelligi: you can use the LiveCD to completely wipe the computer and install Ubuntu. It's quite awesome!
[02:20] <Intelligi> Ok, good.
[02:20] <Intelligi> Later.
[02:20] <gnomefreak> carmen: for spanish join #ubuntu-es
[02:20] <dicesquirrel> Aap: hrm... any error messages?
[02:20] <vanberge> lol
[02:20] <carmen> HELLO ardchoille
[02:20] <vanberge> intelligi is the man
[02:20] <Aap> RuntimeError: could not open display
[02:21] <dicesquirrel> Aap: and if easyubuntu doesn't work, Automatix also does a lot of what easyubuntu does, including nvidia drivers
[02:21] <fiyawerx_> hey guys, im trying to decide which to use between kubuntu or just the gnome manager, why do you guys choose gnome?
[02:21] <vanberge> fiyawerx_: i use gnome because it is softer
[02:21] <gnomefreak> fiyawerx_: ask that in #ubuntu-offtopic please
[02:21] <Bot_Builder> hmm, none of the backup utils are working for me.  I get stuff like
[02:21] <Bot_Builder> mirrordir: error trying chown/chgrp regular file: /media/hda1/home/michael/.Trash/bulb.gif: Operation not permitted
[02:21] <jrib> fiyawerx_: you should try both, it's highly subjective
[02:21] <ardchoille> dicesquirrel: please don't recommend automatix to folks
[02:21] <cookiecaper> Thanks gnomefreak and dicesquirrel, I'll reboot now and let you know how it goes. : )
[02:21] <vanberge> fiyawerx_: kde is more 'bubbly' in my opinion.  louder colors, etc.
[02:21] <salah> is there any other ways to open a application with sudo without having a console open?
[02:21] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: why not?
[02:22] <Bot_Builder> odd thing is I prefixed it with sudo
[02:22] <ardchoille> !automatix
[02:22] <ubotu> automatix is a script that automates installation of some items and has been reported to break your system while doing that, please see http://help.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserDocumentation instead.
[02:22] <Snowfairy> Can anyone tell me how to manually configure the mpg123 previews in nautilus?  The packages are installed, but something about the configuration isn't.
[02:22] <dicesquirrel> eek
[02:22] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: things changed
[02:22] <carmen> HELLO
[02:22] <TLE> Ohh, I'm not sure that'll work. You see the problem is that I have that damned DHCP bug, so my internet doesn't start up at boot time. But I can "fix" it by disable/enable eth0 once I have logged in. But I'll give it a try and see if it works
[02:22] <dicesquirrel> It certainly worked well for me, I'm sorry, I didn't know of its instability
[02:22] <fiyawerx_> i'd be happy with either if i could get freenx working, lol
[02:22] <BSG75> hmm anyone use gtkpod with the Rockr?
[02:23] <gnomefreak> ardchoille: can i pm you real fast please?
[02:23] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: automatix doesn't cause any problems anymore?
[02:23] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: sure :)
[02:23] <gnomefreak> ty
[02:23] <Mouzz> neotard: thnx for the help! I think I'm good now...
[02:24] <dicesquirrel> I just know that it worked beautifully for me when I installed Ubuntu two weeks ago.
[02:24] <dicesquirrel> Compared to the week-long ordeal I went through to get everything similar running on Fedora Core 5... much nicer
[02:24] <Snowfairy> Automatix has successfully broken systems.  If it worked for you, consider yourself lucky.
[02:24] <Snowfairy> You're the exception, not the rule. :)
[02:24] <Mouzz> dicesquirrel: Does it install _all_ or can you choose which parts to install?
[02:24] <dicesquirrel> Mouzz: you can choose
[02:24] <pianoboy3333> I recently compiled the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel, but internet doesn't work in it, does anyone know what I can do?
[02:25] <gnomefreak> Snowfairy: it has changed
[02:25] <JanHammer> prod to all ubuntu geeks
[02:25] <dicesquirrel> Mouzz: some of the stuff I didn't find necessary
[02:25] <JanHammer> how do I add to the menu?
[02:25] <Mouzz> dicesquirrel: indeed...
[02:25] <Aap> how do you start automatix?
[02:25] <Snowfairy> gnomefreak, on a system as easy to break as linux in the first place :) (it's almost getting as easy to break as windows) automatix would still be considered risky >P
[02:25] <dli_> pianoboy3333, you missed the NIC driver?
[02:25] <dicesquirrel> Applications>Accessories>Alacarte, JanHammer
[02:25] <JanHammer> thanks
[02:25] <pianoboy3333> dli_: ooohhh.. maybe..
[02:26] <pianoboy3333> damn
[02:26] <gnomefreak> Snowfairy: this is not a debate it is ok everything 3rd party is use at your own risk but we are not against automatix
[02:26] <Aap> ok is working (automatix)
[02:26] <dicesquirrel> Aap: good
[02:26] <Snowfairy> gnomefreak, last I knew it was heavily recommended not to use automatix.
[02:27] <Snowfairy> and I still won't recommend it.
[02:27] <gnomefreak> Snowfairy: different developers and now its  ateam
[02:27] <Snowfairy> if you like it, good for you.
[02:27] <boricua> i dont understand neither add/remove  NOR synaptic finds eboard but apt-get does, do they use different config files?????
[02:27] <gnomefreak> i wont either but truthfully you dont wanna talk bad about either in here
[02:27] <JanHammer> finally, my favorite screensavers :>
[02:27] <Snowfairy> I will certainly say that it breaks systems and is not recommended.
[02:27] <dicesquirrel> boricua: as far as I know, they all use apt-get.
[02:27] <Mouzz> Where can you temporarily disable gdm for, say, runlevel 3?
[02:28] <boricua> dicesquirrel: then i have no explanation for that behaviour
[02:28] <neotard> Mouzz:  can just turn it off with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[02:28] <dicesquirrel> boricua: I chalk up a lot to "magic" and leave it at that :D
[02:28] <Snowfairy> Automatix == Use at your own risk.
[02:28] <Aap> dicesquirrel: wow that automatix is great
[02:28] <gnomefreak> Snowfairy: do as you wish
[02:28] <dicesquirrel> Aap: heh, I'd do a reboot before saying that. See if everything works
[02:28] <Aap> argh
[02:29] <dicesquirrel> Aap: At the very least, restart xorg for those new drivers to take effect.
[02:29] <Aap> oh hell i don't care, we'll see
[02:29] <Mouzz> neotard: but it crashes the system on start... But I presume I could move /etc/rc3.d/Sxx_gdm...
[02:29] <Aap> /etc/init.d/xorg restart?
[02:29] <Intelligi> Didn't work.
[02:29] <Intelligi> I don't have enough memory to run the Live CD.
[02:29] <neotard> Mouzz:  start in single-user mode
[02:30] <neotard> Mouzz:  it's an option in the grub menu
[02:30] <dicesquirrel> Intelligi: How much do you -have-?
[02:30] <Intelligi> 128.
[02:30] <neotard> Mouzz:  you'll startup to a root prompt and no X services will load.
[02:30] <Mouzz> neotard: but I need a network :)
[02:30] <dicesquirrel> Aap: just alt-ctrl-backspace works fo rme.
[02:30] <debian_> anyone here familiar with getting the "top" button below the scroll wheel on a logitech mx310 to be mapped as the "middle" button instead of having to press down the scroll wheel? i got all the buttons on the mice working and are detected when i run xev, but im not familiar with how to remap the button functions
[02:30] <neotard> Mouzz:  that will load a network
[02:31] <neotard> Mouzz:  it's everything but X services, dumping you to a root commandline
[02:31] <jrib> debian_: xmodmap can do it (you can interchange the buttons).  You familiar with it?
[02:31] <debian_> not particularly, but ill google up on it for a while, thanks
[02:31] <dicesquirrel> Intelligi: hmm, that seems fairly low-spec for an Ubuntu install... 256 seems to be the average minimum. Xubuntu is much more resource-light, perhaps that would be better for you?
[02:31] <Mouzz> neotard: I see :) didn;t know that...
[02:32] <Intelligi> *sigh*
[02:32] <Intelligi> Guess I'll just stay with Windows until I can afford another stick of memory.
[02:32] <cookiecaper> It didn't work guys : ( fglrxinfo returns Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual! and none of the stuff opens ; (
[02:32] <jrib> debian_: well basically you can use this to change buttons 6 and 7: pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 7 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20      <-- you can pop that in ~/.xmodmaprc and it gets loaded when gnome loads or you can just run xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 2 3 4 5 7 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20"
[02:32] <dicesquirrel> Intelligi: let's see what can be done before we go jumping to something like XFCE, though
[02:33] <pjw> hi, all. I have written a simple script, for example: #!/bin/bash export SERVER_ROOT="path" and it doesn't work. Why? Doesn't Ubuntu allow to run scripts?
[02:33] <debian_> jrib: thanks a bunch
[02:33] <gnomefreak> pjw: are they on seprate lines?
[02:33] <ardchoille> pjw: did you make it executale?
[02:33] <dark_light> pjw, you must do chmod +x name
[02:33] <pjw> yes
[02:34] <pjw> chmod +x - It have also
[02:34] <pjw> it has*
[02:34] <woopwoop> I am having problem with my aspect ratio in programs that use Xine. I have a widescreen monitor and everything is displayed squished almost as though Xine is locked into rendering at 4:3. The video window looks like a widescreen video played on a 4:3 monitor and stretched out. How can I let Xine know the proper dimensions for my monitor?
[02:35] <neotard> pjw:  it's not an ubuntu issue, I use custom scripts all the time :)
[02:35] <pjw> english language isnt my first language, i'm sorry for mistakes
[02:35] <Rebecca354> Can anyone help me out with my WEP key, for some reason I can't connect to my WIFI using my key
[02:36] <jrib> pjw: are you sure it doesn't work?  (your script loads a new bash and exports the variable there)  To see this, add the line: echo SERVER_ROOT             in your script
[02:36] <Rebecca354> Someone was saying I need to enter my key in HEX form but I don't speak HEX
[02:36] <dark_light> pjw, english isn't my first language too. but your english seems fine
[02:36] <jrib> pjw: tat should be: echo $SERVER_ROOT
[02:36] <cookiecaper> dicesquirrel, It didn't work : ( fglrxinfo returns Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual! and none of the stuff opens ; (
[02:36] <pjw> jrib: I check it by echo
[02:36] <ardchoille> jrib: ah hah! it's a variable, that's why
[02:36] <carme> nchat.com
[02:36] <Rebecca354> any ideas?
[02:36] <vanberge> is there a way to set the default program for ipods?  i.e. when i connect my ipod, rythmbox opens
[02:36] <Mouzz> neotard: I have installed XGL (upgrading some X libs from other repositories) and then tried to uninstall it. Now gdm freezes the system on startup. Where do I start with the repair? I would like to go back to the packages in at most universe or so... Is there a way? (have tried the apt-get clean, update, upgrade)
[02:37] <pjw> It doesn't work
[02:37] <carme> HELLO
[02:37] <jrib> pjw: the echo line is in your script?
[02:37] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: hmm.... I'm combing the forums
[02:37] <pjw> no
[02:37] <jrib> pjw: try that, you will see what is happening
[02:37] <ardchoille> carme: why are you back under a diff nick? Yes, we see you in the channel.
[02:37] <spikeb> vanberge: system>preferences>removable drives and media
[02:37] <pjw> ok
[02:38] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: could you open your xorg.conf (in /etc/X11/ ) and tell me what driver it says you're using?
[02:38] <neotard> Mouzz:  in single-user mode does startx work?
[02:38] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: and is this after a restart of xorg?
[02:38] <vanberge> spikeb: tyvm
[02:38] <dark_light> pjw, your script will not export variables unless it uses the export command
[02:38] <carme> HOLA UN CHAVO QUE QUIERA CHARLAR UN RATO CON MIGO
[02:38] <Mouzz> neotard: yes it does.
[02:38] <jrib> !es
[02:38] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[02:38] <Rebecca354> anyone else having problems using their WEP key for wireless network?
[02:38] <dark_light> pjw, the SERVER_ROOT should be seen only inside the script
[02:38] <neotard> Mouzz:  so you can use X in single-user mode?
[02:38] <ardchoille> jrib: he's been told many times, he isn't listening
[02:39] <cookiecaper> yes, this is after a restart, and xorg.conf says I'm using ati
[02:39] <jrib> ardchoille: oh
[02:39] <dark_light> pjw, try export SERVER_ROOT="something"
[02:39] <cookiecaper> I installed the official drivers from the site before you gave me that link ... is that messing things up maybe?
[02:39] <pjw> I have written a script: #!/bin/bash echo $HOME it works
[02:39] <Rebecca354> Do I need to put prefix my key with s: ?
[02:39] <Mouzz> neotard: yes I can. It's works
[02:39] <neotard> Mouzz:  odd, because gdm uses the same settings.
[02:40] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: okay, let me post my xorg.conf to a pastebin, and you can compare yours to mine
[02:40] <dark_light> pjw, so your problem is that you are trying to export a variable without the export command
[02:40] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: what card are you using?
[02:40] <dark_light> pjw, help export
[02:40] <pjw> dark_light: I would like to configure by a script
[02:40] <cookiecaper> dicesquirrel, 9600 Pro
[02:40] <jrib> pjw: try this: #!/bin/bash  export SERVER_ROOT="path"; echo $SERVER_ROOT
[02:40] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: not too terribly far off from mine. I'm using a 9000 Mobility
[02:40] <paradizelost> hey all, anyone know of a good howto for setting up an openvpn server on dapper?
[02:40] <pjw> ok
[02:41] <jrib> pjw: and then run your command like this: echo $SERVER_ROOT; ./script.sh ; echo $SERVER_ROOT
[02:41] <Rebecca354> Can anyone help me out, I'm having trouble with my WEP key for my WIFI network
[02:41] <dicesquirrel> http://pastebin.ca/69485
[02:41] <jrib> pjw: your script works, but it doesn't do what you want it to :)
[02:41] <dark_light> pjw, yes, i got it
[02:41] <cookiecaper> dicesquirrel, ok, I'll check it out
[02:41] <Mouzz> neotard: starting gdm, I see a mouse cursor and the background maybe but then it goes into text mode and shows a text cursor (underscore) not blinking
[02:42] <init_6> Hi all.  Anyone in here use Kyocera 650 EVDO
[02:42] <dark_light> pjw, you might find a better explanation on #bash, that is a bash-related channel
[02:42] <neotard> Mouzz:  are you running ati or nvidia drivers?
[02:42] <nf4> what port is ident
[02:42] <nf4> on
[02:42] <dicesquirrel> So, does anyone know how to get TDFSB working without that freeglut error? Heh, back to my original question.
[02:42] <ardchoille> pjw: #bash is awesome for bash-related stuff
[02:42] <grodius> Can someone help me? I installed flash for mozilla but I still cant use services like YouTube
[02:43] <gnomefreak> carme: join #ubuntu-es  you are muted now
[02:43] <ardchoille> gnomefreak: thank you :)
[02:43] <paradizelost> hey all, anyone know of a good howto for setting up an openvpn server on dapper?
[02:44] <Mouzz> neotard: /etc/gdm/gdm.conf containing "GdmXserverTimeout=0" wouldn't help , now would it :) I had it in there to prevent some other  crash but forgot to remove it... I'll try again :)
[02:44] <dark_light> grodius, how you installed flash?
[02:44] <Mouzz> neotard: I'm running fglrx btw
[02:44] <dark_light> grodius, you may need the flashplugin-nonfree package
[02:44] <nf4> the flash plugin is old too like flash 7 io belive
[02:45] <nf4> maby older
[02:45] <cookiecaper> dsqu, they're the same with the exception of the monitor's and your touchpad, although you load module i2c and I don't.
[02:45] <nf4> no wait 7 is what you need wine for
[02:45] <nf4> the flash plugin is way old
[02:45] <cookiecaper> dicesquirrel, they're the same with the exception of the monitor's and your touchpad, although you load module i2c and I don't.
[02:45] <cookiecaper> : )
[02:45] <realcoolguy> hey grodius, does it play without sound? or does it not play at all?
[02:45] <dli_> what's the version libwnck18 in dapper ?
[02:46] <jrib> pjw: to run your script and get it to do what you want, you can do this: . ./script.sh    OR    source script.sh
[02:46] <cookiecaper> I do get some errors about AGPPART or something in dmesg ... should I try disabling that?
[02:46] <pjw> jrib: SERVER_ROOT="path"; echo $SERVER_ROOT - It works inside the script, but it doesn't work out of the script
[02:47] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: you can always give it a try, backup backup backup :D
[02:47] <jrib> pjw: yes, because when you just run the script like that, it starts a new instance of bash and changes it there.  If you do    . ./script.sh     OR     source script.sh      it should work I think
[02:47] <Ap0s7le> Hey all, from what I can see you have a beautiful project going with Ubuntu... Quick question though, will it run fine on an older system of 800mhz?
[02:47] <Mouzz> neotard: Still the same... I see gdm starting up, brown background, round 'busy' mouse cursor, then the screen becomes black again and I see a text cursor... system halts (presumably 100% load). Something with the greeter?
[02:47] <jrib> pjw: that's the same way stuff in your ~/.bashrc does it
[02:48] <pjw> ok
[02:48] <dicesquirrel> cookiecaper: I have to be off, but if you want to talk with me some more if this problem persists, you can talk to me on AIM. Same name as here. :)
[02:48] <gnomefreak> carmen: you are now un mutted i sugest you speak english in here or go to #ubuntu-es
[02:49] <cookiecaper> ok, thanks. : )
[02:49] <boricua> apokryphos: best thing to do is to try it
[02:49] <apokryphos> ?
[02:50] <nf4> any one know what port ident is on
[02:50] <Ap0s7le> Quick question, will Ubuntu run ok on an older system of 800mhz?
[02:50] <realcoolguy> how much ram?
[02:50] <pjw> jrib: I have done it, it works!, thank you very much
[02:50] <vanberge> is there anything special you have to do with amarok to make it work with an ipod??
[02:50] <nf4> 800mhz should be fine if you have enough ram
[02:50] <spikeb> Ap0s7le: that processor will do fine. how much ram?
[02:51] <Ap0s7le> I think 256
[02:51] <jrib> pjw: np
[02:51] <spikeb> Ap0s7le: yeah, it will do fine.
[02:51] <spikeb> Ap0s7le: if it's too slow for you, try xubuntu.
[02:51] <zack> how do i install nvidia 81.78 drivers on breezy?
[02:51] <NickGarvey> xubuntu is sweet
[02:51] <NickGarvey> all about the right click
[02:51] <Ap0s7le> What is that?
[02:51] <rob_p> nf4, 113
[02:51] <nf4> you need to have at least 512mb imo
[02:51] <ardchoille> Ap0s7le: I'm using Ubuntu on an older system and it works fine for me :)
[02:51] <nf4> my system idle uses 250-300mb
[02:51] <NickGarvey> 512 for what?
[02:52] <zack> how do i install nvidia 81.78 drivers on breezy?
[02:52] <realcoolguy> I agree with nf4, 512/768 for a good experience (with all gui stuff, and processes/services running)
[02:52] <Ap0s7le> OK, thanks all. If it runs slow I'll just slap some more ram in it
[02:52] <NickGarvey> 512 for ubuntu? I run it fine on 256..
[02:52] <nf4> i would say you need a minium of 512mb of ram to run ubuntu
[02:52] <boricua> apokryphos: xubuntu is ubuntu but with xfce.org
[02:52] <pianoboy3333> anyone know about compiling kernels?
[02:52] <NickGarvey> I dunno maybe not, but I use gnome and stuff and it works ok for me
[02:52] <Leafw> anyone on powerpc knows how to make the command key be the control key? In kde this is trivial, but in gnome I can't see any option in the keyboard prefs
[02:52] <apokryphos> boricua: what?
[02:52] <spikeb> pianoboy3333: i know enough to seek out premade configs, and compile from that
[02:53] <gnomefreak> boricua: apokryphos knows that i think
[02:53] <NickGarvey> Leafw: maybe.. smoething in metacity or something.. I dunno I use kde
[02:53] <boricua> apokryphos: sorry not meant for you
[02:53] <zack> how do i install nvidia 81.78 drivers on breezy?
[02:53] <apokryphos> =)
[02:53] <apokryphos> zack: grab and install them from nvidia.com
[02:53] <Leafw> NickGarvey : "in metacity or something" :) oh right
[02:53] <boricua> apokryphos: no i am not
[02:53] <PORDO> when i use "switch user" and return to a login where the screensaver is going, it asks me for my password again, even though i just entered it.  is this problem being worked on?
[02:54] <Leafw> and which from all logs is the log of apps when they crash? the Add/remove crashes, the alacarte menu editor crashes ..
[02:54] <Ap0s7le> Also, I want to be able to use the desktop of the new Ubuntu box on this machine via SSH. I was told that's possible?
[02:54] <pianoboy3333> spikeb: my wifi isn't working in the <IP_ADDRESS> kernel, I figured it was because when I compiled I didn't end up with a restricted-modules package to install, I used: 'make-kpkg -initrd --revision=686 kernel_image kernel_headers modules_image' to compile, do you know if I need to add anything for a restricted-modules package?
[02:54] <zack> apokryphos, i downloaded the .run file but it wont work when i type sh filename.run
[02:54] <NickGarvey> Leafw: :)
[02:54] <spikeb> pianoboy3333: no ta clue
[02:54] <vanberge> would anybody be interested in helping me get my ipod recognized by 'amarok' ??  :-)
[02:54] <pianoboy3333> great
[02:54] <apokryphos> zack: what's the error? You're going to need to follow a guide to get all the necessary stuff
[02:54] <apokryphos> vanberge: check in #kubuntu
[02:55] <cookiecaper> Hwo do I install the xorg from Breezy? I'm in dapper now.
[02:55] <zack> apokryphos it has to do with compiling the kernal
[02:55] <vanberge> apokryphos: is amarok a kde app?
[02:56] <apokryphos> vanberge: yes
[02:56] <apokryphos> though it of course runs fine in gnome
[02:56] <vanberge> apokryphos: shoot... i dont even use kde.
[02:56] <Toma-> !irda
[02:56] <ubotu> I know nothing about irda
[02:56] <Toma-> :|
[02:56] <apokryphos> vanberge: doesn't matter :)
[02:56] <zack> apokryphos it says "no precompiled kernal interface was found to match my kernal"
[02:56] <vanberge> yeah but if you install kde apps then it instlls that huge kde base package doesnt it?
[02:56] <Ap0s7le> I want to be able to use the desktop of the new Ubuntu box on this machine via SSH. I was told that's possible?
[02:56] <apokryphos> zack: does it not try to get one from the net?
[02:56] <JanHammer> urg
[02:57] <JanHammer> another problem :P
[02:57] <Leafw> and the hplip doesn't get configured no matter what. May there by old conf files lying around? How to fix this mess?
[02:57] <JanHammer> I can't get my USB mic to work
[02:57] <JanHammer> on ubuntu
[02:57] <zack> apokryphos i have the option toget it from the nvidia ftp site but then it tells me no matching precompiled kernel interface was found
[02:58] <apokryphos> zack: and then?
[02:59] <zack> apokryphos i click ok and then it tells me i appear to compilng the nividia kernel module with a diffferent compiler than the one that was used to compile the running kernel
[03:00] <FarrisG> could some perl/curl-savy person help me troubleshoot this problem I've had with gotmail for a month?
[03:00] <Ap0s7le> I want to be able to use the desktop of the new Ubuntu box on this machine via SSH. I was told that's possible?
[03:00] <apokryphos> zack: do ./NVidiablahblah --help
[03:00] <apokryphos> zack: there's an option to use a different compiler, I think.
[03:01] <apokryphos> zack: actually, you may have luck trying to use dapper's nvidia. Shot in a dark, but worth a try.
[03:01] <hyperspace> Can anyone recommend a db diagram/design tool that is nice and compatible w/ Ubuntu.. for MySQL
[03:01] <ReleaseX> i'm having trouble burning dvds in k3b that are readable on a mac
[03:01] <tonyyarusso> Ap0s7le: There's remote desktop stuff (which I have tried) as well as X forwarding over ssh (which I have not).
[03:01] <Geoffrey2> is there any easy way to determine what music formats are supported by the gstreamer plugins you already have installed?
[03:01] <zack> apokryphos ./nvidia what?
[03:01] <GTroy> anything remotely similar to quicksilver for linux?
[03:01] <riddlebox> can I play a .gsm file in ubuntu?
[03:02] <apokryphos> zack: the nvidia driver you downloaded
[03:02] <apokryphos> GTroy: yes, katapult
[03:02] <apokryphos> it's good, but it could get better
[03:02] <zack> apokryphos , the filename?
[03:02] <apokryphos> yes
[03:02] <GTroy> thanks apokryphos
[03:02] <azureal> hi, why does "apt-get install qtparted" fail?
[03:03] <apokryphos> azureal: what's the error message?
[03:03] <GTroy> azureal check your repos
[03:03] <apokryphos> qtparted is in main
[03:03] <GTroy> or listen to apokryphos
[03:03] <GTroy> see you guys
[03:03] <azureal> ah
[03:03] <[Yatta] > how can i load a module higher up the ladder?? ( i hope that made sense?!?!)
[03:04] <azureal> apokryphos:  E: Couldn't find package qtparted .. i guess apt-get update wasnt enough?
[03:04] <[Yatta] > i want to load a module before a particualar module that is in my lernel
[03:04] <apokryphos> azureal: dapper/breezy?
[03:04] <ardchoille> azureal: did you enable universe and multiverse repos?
[03:04] <tonyyarusso> azureal, apokryphos: I've seen some people who don't have any repos enabled at all - don't know why.  That's my 2 cents.
[03:05] <teckfatt> hello, anyone know what software or package ubuntu used for auto mount the ex-harddisk(sda)? something like pmount and what else?
[03:05] <apokryphos> tonyyarusso: unless they specifically did that, it should never be the case.
[03:05] <eeejay_> what package gives me all the glib man pages?
[03:05] <apokryphos> ardchoille: qtparted is in main
[03:05] <hyperspace> teckfatt: ex-harddisk?
[03:05] <ardchoille> apokryphos: ah, ok
[03:05] <hyperspace> teckfatt: external?
[03:06] <tonyyarusso> apokryphos: I know, that's why I was confused when I read pastebins of like 3 people who only had the CD enabled.
[03:06] <teckfatt> hyperspace: yes
[03:06] <apokryphos> unless you're on breezy
[03:06] <azureal> tony: yea, that's probably it.. i'll check....

[03:08] <realcoolguy> whoa, slow down misery, don't get banned by spamming
[03:08] <realcoolguy> (oops I meant flooding)
[03:08] <apokryphos> !repeat
[03:08] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[03:08] <inmiserysshadow> sorry for the flooding...I am having trouble installing
[03:09] <inmiserysshadow> the installation keeps hanging at 50%
[03:09] <spikeb> dont flood again.
[03:09] <garryF> No error message, tjust a hang?
[03:09] <teckfatt> hyperspace: no....i try to use the archlinux, most of the package need to install by own....so i just want to know which software ubuntu used...
[03:09] <realcoolguy> does it give you an error message, or does it just hang?...
[03:09] <m4zt3r> when trying to play a dvd disc, i get the message "The source can't be read. Maybe you don't have enough rights for this, or source doesn't contain data"  I mean it says this on EVERY DVD i try and play on my pc
[03:09] <inmiserysshadow> it just hangs...again, my appologies for the flooding
[03:10] <tuxtheslacker> hey, how would I get my kernel headers?
[03:10] <m4zt3r> it says "Error reading NAV packet" also
[03:10] <realcoolguy> hmmm check the md5 sum on the disc? (could be bad...)
[03:10] <[Yatta] > uname -r
[03:10] <apokryphos> tuxtheslacker: /msg ubotu headers
[03:10] <tuxtheslacker> sudo apt-get install kernel-header-$(uname -r)
[03:10] <tuxtheslacker> ?
[03:10] <m4zt3r> no these are bought DVDs
[03:10] <m4zt3r> all retail
[03:10] <zack> im still having trouble installing the nvidia driver 81.78 has anyone done it for breezy?
[03:10] <tuxtheslacker> !tell headers
[03:10] <garryF> Is there a triangle in any window that you see when it hangs? Click the triangle if so. It might be expecting a userresponse.
[03:10] <ubotu> I know nothing about tell headers
[03:10] <[Yatta] > !tell modules
[03:10] <ubotu> I know nothing about tell modules
[03:11] <rixxon> uhm, what was the command to display system version information? :S
[03:11] <inmiserysshadow> no garry no triangles...I am still running from the friggin cd.....bah
[03:11] <tuxtheslacker> any help would be greatly appriciated.
[03:11] <rixxon> !modules > [Yatta]
[03:11] <ubotu> I know nothing about modules
[03:11] <tuxtheslacker> ubotu apparently forgot :-)
[03:11] <ubotu> I know nothing about apparently forgot :-)
[03:11] <apokryphos> guys, for ubotu usage see /msg ubotu ubotu
[03:11] <apokryphos> !botabuse
[03:11] <ubotu> Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots
[03:13] <reXin> can anybody give me a hand with chain loading ubuntu via ntldr?
[03:13] <garryF> How long have you waited for the hang to pass?
[03:14] <TLE> Socceroos_Woooot: Thanx man, It works, finally internet when I boot. NICE
[03:14] <ubuntunewbie> ...hello?
[03:15] <realcoolguy> hello, yes there are peoples here ubuntu newbie
[03:15] <zack> im still having trouble installing the nvidia driver 81.78 has anyone done it for breezy?
[03:15] <ubuntunewbie> alright, awesome.
[03:15] <realcoolguy> is that a specific nvidia driver?
[03:16] <ubuntunewbie> so, I just got ubuntu a few weeks ago, and it's awesome.  But, I forgot the password for my admin account.   Am I totally screwed?
[03:16] <HartNot> Hey all, does anyone know how I can read a chm file?
[03:16] <realcoolguy> admin account ... is that the root account or the first account you created?
[03:16] <Bassetts> ubuntunewbie: admin account?, did you make one yourself then?
[03:16] <hyperspace> HartNot: install xchm
[03:16] <Flannel> HartNot: xchm would do it.
[03:17] <hyperspace> HartNot:  sudo apt-get install xchm ;)
[03:17] <ubuntunewbie> The first account I made.
[03:17] <KevinIN72> hey i chmod 666 my www folder and now none of my websites are working can anyone help
[03:17] <pppoe_dude> ubuntulog, you are not
[03:17] <pppoe_dude> ooops
[03:17] <pppoe_dude> ubuntunewbie, you're not
[03:17] <reXin> no dice with a some chain booting help? trying to work around EFI here... cause my machine has no BIOS
[03:18] <pppoe_dude> ubuntunewbie, i think there's a shadow file somewhere that you can reset and get your password back/change it
[03:18] <KevinIN72> can anyone help me please im kind of in a hurry
[03:18] <garryF> The answer about how to recover a lost password, would be of interest to me too.
[03:18] <zack> realcoolguy yes it is
[03:18] <realcoolguy> well he might have an easier work around... is there user accounts you have that you know of that you can log in with?
[03:18] <ubuntunewbie> no, there was only that one
[03:18] <pppoe_dude> KevinIN72, did you change anything else?
[03:18] <zack> realcoolguy, its the newest one from the website i thinK
[03:18] <tuxtheslacker> gar! I know there's no chance in hell, but does anoyne in here go to pennstate?
[03:18] <Flannel> garryF: you can't recover it, you boot into recovery mode, and then set it to something else
[03:18] <realcoolguy> zack, which card is it?
[03:18] <ardchoille> doesn't single user mode drop the user into a root prompt?
[03:19] <KevinIN72> pppoe_dude: no i just did a sudo chmod 666 www
[03:19] <Flannel> ardchoille: yes
[03:19] <holycrapitsme> i originally bought Limewire Pro for Redhat, well im running ubuntu now and it does not run due to java being in a different place
[03:19] <holycrapitsme> how do i fix it?
[03:19] <garryF> Flannel Just as good. :)
[03:19] <ubuntunewbie> okay, so how do I boot into recovery mode?
[03:19] <tuxtheslacker> I kinda need to get kvnc working, and it just hangs... then it disconnects.
[03:19] <NickGarvey> KevinIN72: not a very good idea...
[03:19] <zack> realcoolguy, my card is a 6800gs but the driver is the universal linux driver
[03:19] <pppoe_dude> KevinIN72, change it back to 766 i guess?
[03:19] <NickGarvey> ubuntunewbie: grub should have put the option on your grub menu
[03:19] <garryF> It should be a choice on your cd.
[03:19] <KevinIN72> pppoe_dude: oops :( will that fix it
[03:19] <ardchoille> Flannel: so a forgotten password can be changed via single user mode?
[03:19] <garryF> oh
[03:19] <pppoe_dude> KevinIN72, not sure... but worth a try
[03:20] <Flannel> garryF: there are pages and pages on the web about how to reset passwords.  Yeah, at the grub menu, change it to "recovery mode" or whatever, and you'll get nothing but a root prompt, which you can then use to update the password file
[03:20] <Flannel> ardchoille: yep
[03:20] <ubuntunewbie> oh, okay, thanks.
[03:20] <garryF> Nice. Now I know what todo from there, if I ever have that issue. :)
[03:20] <garryF> Thanks Flannel
[03:20] <Unintentional> hey, how do I add a blank line to a string.  i.e. 'echo "Something\n\n"' except, something that works.
[03:20] <KevinIN72> pppoe_dude: it didnt do anything, do you think it changed all the files in the folder??
[03:21] <NewGuy> Hello everyone
[03:21] <zack> how do i close out of x? do its just like a big terminal?
[03:21] <pppoe_dude> KevinIN72, it shouldn't do that unless you used a -R option
[03:21] <zack> ctrl alt backspace brings me to my login
[03:21] <pjfc> DBO: everything is working fine
[03:21] <KevinIN72> pppoe_dude: i didnt
[03:21] <apokryphos> zack: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[03:21] <pppoe_dude> KevinIN72, what kind of error do you get on your webserver?
[03:21] <pppoe_dude> KevinIN72, and you might want to try #aoache
[03:21] <apokryphos> zack: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start to get it running again
[03:21] <ardchoille> zack: CTRL+ALT+F1
[03:21] <pppoe_dude> * #apache
[03:21] <realcoolguy> zack, have you looked at http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Breezy  ? for installing your drivers?
[03:21] <apokryphos> ardchoille: that won't kill X
[03:21] <NewGuy> I'm having Apache2 issues.  I am trying to add a folder but it doesnt show up in the browser.
[03:21] <Kyral> Prolly permissions issues
[03:22] <KevinIN72> pppoe_dude: take a look urself http://kpclan.selfip.com/Events.html
[03:22] <ardchoille> and then sudo init 3
[03:22] <Kyral> Everyone needs read and execute
[03:22] <KevinIN72> pppoe_dude: it changed all my folders to files
[03:22] <NewGuy> the perms are identical to the default folder perms
[03:22] <Flannel> ardchoille: that won't stop it, just switch you out of it.
[03:22] <ardchoille> Flannel: oh, ok. someone told me that drops to runlevel3 (shutsdown X)
[03:22] <pjfc> DBO: the difference was that you properly indicated xserver-xorg in the sudo dpkg command, earlier advice suggested xorg-xserver
[03:22] <NewGuy> how do I make another sites-enabled folder like the 000-default one.  it's like a virtual folder.
[03:23] <Flannel> ardchoille: no, it jsut switches you to a tty
[03:23] <ardchoille> Flannel: ok, I just learned something
[03:23] <pjfc> does anyone know how to get wine to work on dapper amd64?
[03:24] <pjw> Does Posix Standard define the suite of applications? For example: wget, su, kill etc.
[03:24] <Unintentional> trying again.  anyone know how to include a line break in a string?
[03:24] <hollowman8904> how do you get your ntfs partation mounted?
[03:24] <NickGarvey> !ntfs
[03:24] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[03:24] <Flannel> NewGuy: a2ensite
[03:25] <Isaiah> can someone help me with a laptop question
[03:25] <Toma-> pjfc: tried googling 64bit wine?
[03:25] <realcoolguy> Isaiah, only if it's easy ;)
[03:25] <NickGarvey> Toma-: have mercy.. 64 bit wine (cries)
[03:25] <NewGuy> the permissions on my new files in the /var/www/newfolder directory are the same as the others, but it's not enabled in the apache2 sites-enabled folder.  How do I enable them?
[03:26] <pjfc> Toma: Ya, the instructions on http://wiki.winehq.org/WineOn64bit don't seem to work.
[03:26] <infinity_> how do i write to external harddrives in ntfs format from ubuntu? it always says read-only
[03:26] <Toma-> pjfc: how so?
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> InfDONT
[03:26] <Flannel> infinity_: you can't write ntfs
[03:26] <Kyral> infinity_: its because its DANGEROUS
[03:26] <Warbo> infinity_: That's because it always is read-only. Sadly
[03:26] <Jack_Sparrow> infinity_:  Dont do it
[03:26] <Toma-> ubotu: tell infinity_ about captive
[03:26] <realcoolguy> yeah, it's only dangerous if windows is going to access it at some point
[03:27] <infinity_> ok... well how do i setup shares i can see from a windows pc?
[03:27] <Flannel> NewGuy: files in /var/www don't need to be enabled
[03:27] <Toma-> !captive
[03:27] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[03:27] <Warbo> realcoolguy: Why else would you use NTFS?
[03:27] <pjfc> Toma: not sure, I still can't install wine.
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> Set up a fat 32 partition
[03:27] <Jack_Sparrow> both systems can read and write it
[03:27] <realcoolguy> see ubotu's answer... but backup your data and use at your own risk
[03:27] <NewGuy> the new folder in /var/www/newfolder seem to, the stuff in the new folder doesnt show up in the browser.
[03:27] <pjfc> Toma: when I get to this part "LDFLAGS="-L/lib32 -L/usr/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/lib32 -Wl,-rpath,/usr/lib32"  ./configure" I am not sure what to do.  This statement does nothing
[03:28] <NewGuy> No error message though :(
[03:28] <realcoolguy> I would much prefer that you use the nice programs that allow windows to access linux file formats (i've found they worked rather seemlessly)
[03:28] <Warbo> !explore2fs
[03:28] <ubotu> I know nothing about explore2fs
[03:28] <Warbo> hmm. changed
[03:28] <Toma-> pjfc: looks like a pretty shoddy environment bariable...
[03:28] <Toma-> variable even
[03:29] <JohnnyX> disconnected
[03:29] <JohnnyX> can anyone help me?
[03:29] <FunnyLookinHat> Anyone know how I can take a gnome screenshot using the terminal?  I killed the menu that had the icon.
