[11:13] <sm0k3d> hey guys
[11:13] <diazepam> guys can anyone tell me where i can get "liblame0" for Edgy?
[11:13] <dave_> does anyone know of any help documents for dual screens with different resolutions?
[11:13] <Stormx2> !liblame0
[11:14] <ubotu> liblame0: LAME Ain't an MP3 Encoder. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.96.1-2 (edgy), package size 182 kB, installed size 452 kB
[11:14] <Stormx2> diazepam: You need to enable multiverse
[11:14] <sm0k3d> i have been trying to install realvnc for almost an hour, can any1 help me
[11:14] <KennyR> ardchoille, Another quick question.. Why did I receive Dapper-Drake Live-CD if Edgy is newer?? I received these disks about 2 weeks ago.
[11:14] <diazepam> hmm i thought i had multiverse
[11:14] <diazepam> obviously not
[11:14] <Stormx2> KennyR: Dapper is meant to be easier to support, etc#
[11:14] <Tomcat_> KennyR: I think they don't send edgy CDs...
[11:15] <Tomcat_> KennyR: Because Dapper has long-term support
[11:15] <KennyR> Oh ok, thanks Stormx2 , Tomcat_
[11:15] <ardchoille> diazepam: sudo apt-get install liblam0 , it's in multiverse
[11:15] <sm0k3d> can some1 help me install realvnc (or any program for that matter)
[11:15] <Stormx2> !vnc
[11:15] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[11:15] <Stormx2> Read.
[11:15] <ardchoille> KennyR: The ShipIt service will ship Dapper instead of Edgy, I don't know why.
[11:16] <Lucifel> !freenx
[11:16] <ubotu> FreeNX is advanced remote desktop technology. For more information and install instructions, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeNX
[11:16] <KennyR> ardchoille, Hmm, thats something that should be corrected, if they wish to add more support for newer versions.. But I do have Edgy on This PC, because I downloaded the Live-CD
[11:16] <Phatrabbit|2> http://rafb.net/p/7qATzz15.html
[11:17] <Phatrabbit|2> can somone give me help with that error
[11:17] <Stormx2> KennyR: Its a decision, its not accidental. The basics is that dapper is a more solid platform, and anything which goes wrong is easier to fix, etc. Basically it has a more stable codebase than edgy
[11:17] <ardchoille> KennyR: just as an aside, I will never run Edgy. Dapper has been rock-solid and never gave me a problem. Edgy, on the other hand, has too many problems, IMHO.
[11:18] <diazepam> sorry one more:  Every time i try to compile from source i get this error - does anyone know how to correct:  "checking for gcc... gcc
[11:18] <diazepam> checking for C compiler default output... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables"
[11:18] <KennyR> ardchoille, Do you suppose thats why my sound doesnt work?
[11:18] <ardchoille> KennyR: I could never get sound to work in Edgy either.
[11:18] <alecjw> diazepam, do you have th kernel headers?
[11:19] <KennyR> ardchoille, If im also not mistaken, the reason why my wireless Winbond PCI card doesnt work is because lack of support from Winbond's drivers in Linux..
[11:19] <ardchoille> KennyR: I don't know much about wireless, sorry
[11:20] <KennyR> ardchoille, Well thats ok, I didnt come here for support on that.. Im more interested in what I seen in Dapper's menu on Live-CD
[11:20] <DaveR> where can i get twinview from?
[11:20] <Gerry_W> mackinac: my /media just wasn't big enough
[11:21] <ardchoille> KennyR: I don't think any of the Ubuntu livecd's have dvdshrink. You really need libdvdcss2 to be able to rip/watch most modern dvd's and that lib can't be included due to legal restrictions. You can install dvdshrink, though. I have it.
[11:21] <mackinac> oh really?
[11:21] <KennyR> Well I cant find DVD-Shrink for edgy
[11:21] <ardchoille> KennyR: http://dvdshrink.sourceforge.net
[11:21] <Gerry_W> mackinac: yes. only 2.5 GB. I'll resize it, make it larger
[11:21] <Gerry_W> but later
[11:21] <Gerry_W> right now
[11:21] <KennyR> ardchoille, I looked in the Add/Remove programs, shouldnt it be in there?
[11:22] <Gerry_W> I'm copying to a folder in /home
[11:22] <fong> do i need to create a fat 32 partition when installing a dual boot system?
[11:22] <ardchoille> KennyR: That package has an installer that checks for deps. If the deps aren't installed, it will tell you what you need. All the deps are in the repos.
[11:22] <mackinac> iso of a dvd then eh?
[11:22] <ardchoille> KennyR: dvdshrink is not going to be there.
[11:22] <zmaster> hey all
[11:22] <Gerry_W> yes
[11:22] <rem_> hey .. I installed totem-xine package...but i still cant play divx, xvid etc .. anyone knows why .. ?
[11:22] <zmaster> is there a good gui for converting full res psp videos
[11:22] <KennyR> ardchoille, Thanks for your support, I wouldnt be using Ubuntu if it wasnt for the lovely community..
[11:22] <mackinac> lol i didn't think of that
[11:22] <fong> do i need to create a fat 32 partition when installing a dual boot system?
[11:22] <ardchoille> KennyR: Ditto :)
[11:24] <ardchoille> KennyR: BTW, that link I gave you for dvdshrink is the Linux version, it doesn't need wine.
[11:24] <ghatak> Hi, i use fluxbox as window manager on edgy, the screen resolution keeps getting back to default and does not stay at what i change it to using gnome-control-center every time i restart. How do i change it so that it stays permanent ?
[11:24] <Phatrabbit|2> can somone give me help with that error
[11:24] <Phatrabbit|2> http://rafb.net/p/7qATzz15.html
[11:24] <KennyR> ardchoille, Thanks alot.. i'll be sure to check it out..
[11:24] <rem_> fong you only have to if you want to use the windows disk loader ... if you use grub then no...It could also be convenient to share files with windows...fat32 is easier read/write then ntfs, although thats possible too ..
[11:24] <zmaster> is there a good gui for converting full res psp videos
[11:24] <typecast> Phatrabbit|2: can you paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[11:24] <rem_> hey .. I installed totem-xine package...but i still cant play divx, xvid etc .. anyone knows why .. ?
[11:25] <rem_> on a fresh edgy install ..
[11:25] <zmaster> rem_: you dont have the codecs installed
[11:25] <fong> rem_, can i do away with the fat32 partition? can the ntfs-3g do the job?
[11:25] <fong> !ntfs-3g
[11:25] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[11:25] <Phatrabbit|2> sure
[11:25] <rem_> zmaster...ok but how do i install them .. ?...usually totem-xine package is enough .. ?!
[11:26] <elias__> !mount
[11:26] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter
[11:26] <ardchoille> rem_: sudo apt-get install libxine-extracodecs
[11:26] <DaveR> anyone know how to setup twinview?
[11:26] <elias__> !fstab
[11:26] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[11:26] <elias__> !DiskMounter
[11:26] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - See also !fuse
[11:26] <rem_> I havent tried the ntfs-3g ..i heard it wasnt working flawlessly in the past but that its pretty ok now ... although as i said i havent tested it yet ..
[11:26] <elias__> !fuse
[11:26] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[11:26] <rem_> k thx ard ill try that ,..
[11:26] <zmaster> rem_: since im a newbie i used automatix2 and selected the codec package fro mthere and everything works
[11:27] <Phatrabbit|2> typecast: http://rafb.net/p/ZaYyeD98.html
[11:27] <zmaster> is there a good gui for converting full res psp videos
[11:27] <rem_> yea..i thought about taht too ... i might do that if the extracodec packes dont work... thx zm ..
[11:27] <cornice> ciao
[11:27] <typecast> rem_: you might want to have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Multimedia
[11:27] <ardchoille> !automatix > rem_
[11:27] <fong> rem_, can i do away with the fat32 partition? can the ntfs-3g do the job?
[11:28] <Gerry_W> mackinac: hmmm... now I try to mount it and it says there's no such file or directory
[11:28] <rem_> I havent tried the ntfs-3g ..i heard it wasnt working flawlessly in the past but that its pretty ok now ... although as i said i havent tested it yet ..
[11:28] <rem_> fong..so it should work..but haven tested it ..
[11:28] <Gerry_W> mackinac: I'm sure I typed it out right
[11:28] <typecast> Phatrabbit|2: Driver          "vesa" <--- that's the problem
[11:28] <zmaster> np, does any one know of a good gui to encode video for the psp/ipod
[11:28] <mackinac> Gerry - paste it
[11:28] <mackinac> here
[11:28] <phatrabbit> ohh ic it should be nvidia
[11:28] <sm0k3d> if i download a program off the internet, how can i install it so i can use it?
[11:29] <ardchoille> sm0k3d: Are you sure it isn't in the repos? What is the app name?
[11:29] <phatrabbit> ok i will replace vesa with 'nvidia'
[11:29] <Gerry_W> mackinac: sudo mount -o loop hlm-gtasa.iso /home/alex/GTA
[11:29] <Gerry_W> is what I wrote
[11:29] <sm0k3d> realvnc
[11:29] <assasukasse> hi everyone i was using irfanview on windows and now i need something similar in ubuntu, what should i look for
[11:29] <ardchoille> sm0k3d: Ok, what kind of package is it?
[11:30] <fong> in gparted, i cant seem to make a partition that is extended for the unallocated.. it seems that its grayed-out in the drop down.. why is this so?
[11:30] <sm0k3d> .tar.gz
[11:30] <GreySim> assasukasse: Eye of Gnome or GQView, I think. I'm not sure though. It's been a long time since I've used Irfanview.
[11:30] <typecast> phatrabbit: you might want to have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[11:30] <doomster> hi!
[11:30] <phatrabbit> yer i have followed that
[11:31] <tomcatt> sup
[11:31] <doomster> is there a live CD for use with PPC based machines?
[11:31] <chable> :(
[11:31] <phatrabbit> i changed vesa to nvidia and i get the same error
[11:31] <chable> i bought new hardware
[11:31] <chable> and now , ubuntu wont start the installation
[11:31] <phatrabbit> when i do glxinfo | grep direct
[11:31] <ardchoille> sm0k3d: tar xzf file.tar.gz   unpack it and go inside and read the README and INSTALL files, if any.
[11:31] <mackinac> Gerry_W : do you have room in '/' ?
[11:31] <Gerry_W> yeah
[11:31] <typecast> phatrabbit: fine. then substitute "vesa" with "nvidia"
[11:31] <ardchoille> sm0k3d: Have yo installed build-essential ?
[11:31] <mackinac> try making a dir in / as root, then mount there
[11:31] <Gerry_W> mackinac: I knew that six gigs would come in handy
[11:31] <Gerry_W> :D
[11:31] <sm0k3d>  yea i did that, but all of the files had a lock on them
[11:32] <fong> can the linux-swap partition be a primary partition?
[11:32] <ardchoille> sm0k3d: Did you download it as root?
[11:32] <Frogzoo> chable: hit F6 - change the boot line to add 'acpi=off'
[11:32] <sm0k3d> no
[11:32] <chable> Frogzoo, cheers
[11:32] <Typo> yo
[11:32] <phatrabbit> typecast: i have already subed vesa for nvidia still get the same error
[11:32] <Typo> sup ppl
[11:32] <Gerry_W> mackinac: but I obviously need to install it in a folder inside root, or it will overwrite root
[11:32] <typecast> phatrabbit: you have to restart your x-server
[11:32] <sm0k3d> i thought i should rarely go on root cuz i might screw up linux
[11:32] <phatrabbit> ohhh yer
[11:33] <phatrabbit> cheers
[11:33] <ardchoille> sm0k3d: Very good practice
[11:33] <fong> !linux-swap
[11:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about linux-swap - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:33] <extern> how can I reconfigure xorg server? (to set all the resolution options, etc...)
[11:33] <mackinac> Gerry_W : yeah
[11:33] <chable> anyone here uses Abit motherboard
[11:33] <sm0k3d> god linux is so confusing
[11:33] <Frogzoo> sweet mary the mysql-server update is a monster
[11:33] <ardchoille> extern: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:34] <greasel> Could someone tell me how to make applications start automatically when I sign in?
[11:34] <extern> thanks
[11:34] <assasukasse> GreySym thanks
[11:34] <Frogzoo> greasel: sys -> prefs -> session
[11:34] <phatrabbit> oh uh its all gone wrong lucky i have backup of old conf
[11:34] <Typo> anyone know how to get tor for ubuntu
[11:34] <greasel> Thank you!
[11:34] <Frogzoo> Typo: apt-cache search tor
[11:34] <chable> apt-get install tor
[11:35] <chable> if the right sources are uncommented
[11:35] <Typo> E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[11:35] <Typo> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[11:35] <ardchoille> Frogzoo: That's going to output way too much
[11:35] <Typo> always says that
[11:35] <typecast> Typo: sudo apt-get install tor
[11:35] <chable> :)
[11:35] <arnor> hello World!
[11:35] <chable> yep
[11:35] <Typo> k thx
[11:36] <Typo> i knew it was something like that lol
[11:36] <chable> lol
[11:36] <arnor> is there any mean to reset sources.list ?
[11:36] <chable> arnor, u can edit it
[11:36] <arnor> yes, I know
[11:36] <Frogzoo> !easysource | arnor
[11:36] <ubotu> arnor: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[11:36] <arnor> but I want to turn it back to its initial state
[11:36] <ardchoille> arnor: Did you make a backup before changing it?
[11:37] <chable> u can set it from software sources option in gnome
[11:37] <arnor> ardchoille: I guess
[11:37] <ardchoille> arnor: Then you can restore from the backup
[11:37] <arnor> is there any server where the default sources.list is stored in?
[11:37] <Gerry_W> mackinac: hmmm... no. there isn't enough space. dang.
[11:38] <chable> what that ACPI stands for ?
[11:38] <Gerry_W> mackinac: should I try my fat32 /shared folder?
[11:38] <arnor> chable: www.wikipedia.org ;)
[11:38] <chable> i could try google aswell
[11:38] <chable> :)
[11:38] <arnor> :)
[11:38] <ardchoille> arnor: I have the default sources.list for Dapper. You running Dapper?
[11:39] <arnor> ardchoille: LTS
[11:39] <arnor> 6.06 LTS
[11:39] <arnor> ;)
[11:39] <chable> thats dapper
[11:39] <arnor> I'm just waiting for Ubuntu 7.04 (or higher)
[11:39] <ardchoille> arnor: This is the sources.list that ships with the alternate cd: http://rafb.net/p/F8ftJY13.html
[11:39] <arnor> chable: Dapper?
[11:39] <chable> :)
[11:39] <arnor> yes
[11:39] <arnor> you're right
[11:39] <chable> arnor, yes , dapper drake
[11:39] <dv_> is libdps available for edgy?
[11:39] <arnor> LTS just stands for Long Time Support ;)
[11:40] <chable> yes
[11:40] <dv_> because, I cant find it in they reps
[11:40] <dv_> -y
[11:40] <mackinac> Gerry_W: i don't think that will be a valid mount point either
[11:40] <dv_> only in old ones (warty, hoary)
[11:40] <zmaster> np, does any one know of a good gui to encode video for the psp/ipod
[11:40] <zmaster> np, does any one know of a good gui to encode video for the psp/ipod
[11:40] <Frogzoo> arnor: yes
[11:40] <zmaster> np, does any one know of a good gui to encode video for the psp/ipod
[11:40] <Frogzoo> zmaster: no spam, plskthx
[11:40] <Gerry_W> mackinac: damn. I guess I'll have to resize /media
[11:41] <zmaster> frogzoo: sorry lol had my hand on enter when getting water bottle, but do you have an answer
[11:41] <Gerry_W> mackinac: I'll try /shared, though
[11:41] <fong> does the ubuntu installer automatically set the linux partition to be the active one?
[11:41] <arnor> fong: nope
[11:41] <fong> arnor, ok thanks..
[11:41] <arnor> fong: you'd better keep the Windows partition activated if you use it
[11:41] <dv_> can I use the hoary libdps1 library safely in edgy?
[11:41] <Frogzoo> zmaster: apt-cache search video |grep -i ipod
[11:41] <justin4thirty> Burn it! Burn it to the ground!
[11:42] <fong> arnor, yes, im still in the process of installation, but i'm following this guide http://www.matthewjmiller.net/howtos/dual-boot-linux-and-windows/
[11:42] <chable> thats a great thing i like
[11:42] <arnor> fond: I think that there are some matters with Windows loader if you deactive your Windows partition
[11:42] <bigbang14> could someone explain some things to me about uhci_hcd and ehci_hcd?
[11:42] <chable> u can mount ntfs partition
[11:42] <dv_> hello?
[11:42] <chable> read only
[11:42] <mackinac> Frogzoo: what is the criteria for the mount point of mounting an ISO? , like does it need to be owned by root or in fstab or ?
[11:42] <chable> this way i can accidentally werase anything
[11:42] <fong> and it states that it automatically sets the ubuntu partition active..
[11:42] <DaveR> which package do i need to install to support mp3?
[11:42] <chable> erase*
[11:42] <fong> just double checking
[11:42] <chable> i cant*
[11:42] <Frogzoo> !anyone | bigbang14
[11:42] <typecast> dv_: probably not.
[11:42] <ubotu> bigbang14: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[11:42] <typecast> dv_: isn't there an edgy version of that library?
[11:43] <fong> also, my ext3 partition is in HDA3, should i install my GRUB on hd0,3, or hd0,1?
[11:43] <dv_> typecast, I cant find any
[11:43] <Frogzoo> mackinac: no criteria I can think of - just a standard directory
[11:43] <mackinac> Frogzoo: hmmm ok thanks
[11:43] <fong> how do i know what the numbering is for the primary partitions?
[11:43] <fong> need to know if my ext3 partition is the hd0,1...
[11:44] <mackinac> ah, i see what i did wrong
[11:45] <mackinac> Gerry_W: go ahead and try any folder, such as your /shared
[11:45] <typecast> dv_: indeed. that package neither exists on dapper nor on edgy
[11:46] <elias__> !soundcard
[11:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about soundcard - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:46] <DaveR> anyone know the mp3 decorder i need to install please?
[11:46] <typecast> dv_: i don't think that it is save to install the hoary packet on your edgy system. that may break things

[11:52] <typecast> phatrabbit: it broke? what error message did you get?
[11:52] <bigbang14> good on yah!
[11:52] <Mattias> irssi is too great :) i woudlnt be able to live without /lastlog :P
[11:52] <fong> so basically, hda0,1, points to the first primary partition?
[11:52] <DaveR> KennyR: I am unsure of the problem, have you tried GAIM instead?
[11:53] <KennyR> DaveR, Yes iv tried GAIM, but I love aMSN more.. It just started having this problem recently..
[11:53] <phatrabbit> typecast: it went to command line and said xserver has been disabled
[11:53] <sm0k3d> hey
[11:53] <Typo> kennyR Whats the problem?
[11:53] <Typo> I am IM king
[11:53] <phatrabbit> and the blue screen came up giving the standard xserver is screwed errror
[11:53] <KennyR> Typo, ill paste it, hold on
[11:53] <Typo> k
[11:53] <bigbang14> phretor: unfortunaly i dont know the anwser to your question. i suggest maybe googleing for it?
[11:53] <KennyR> Typo, Im having a problem. I get into the first window, where I can login.. I start typing something, then the new version window comes up and everything goes bye bye leaving me with a tray icon that doesnt do anything.
[11:53] <sm0k3d> everytime i add a user to anywhere, it never saves them, can any1 help with this?
[11:53] <varkatope> fong: hda0 ist the first partition on the first harddrive on the first controllerchannel
[11:53] <Typo> for wut instant messenger?
[11:53] <Typo> kopete
[11:53] <Typo> gaim
[11:54] <Typo> ..
[11:54] <KennyR> Typo, aMSN
[11:54] <KennyR> Typo, I can also manipulate this..
[11:54] <varkatope> fong: if you have scsi or s-atat it will be sda0
[11:54] <KennyR> Typo, Ill walk you through step by step of what happens..
[11:54] <Typo> KennyR: just use gaim its brilliant
[11:54] <fong> warkatope, should i follow the minor lines? in this case, since i want to install the GRUB in hda3, thus, should it be hd0,2?
[11:54] <sm0k3d> how come whenever i add a user, it never saves them?
[11:54] <KennyR> Typo, I dislike GAIM
[11:54] <DaveR> KennyR: you may get better support from their own irc, http://www.amsn-project.net/forums/viewtopic.php?t=275&highlight=irc
[11:54] <typecast> phatrabbit: ok. try again and save the file /var/log/Xorg.0.log and paste it
[11:54] <fong> but the cat /proc/partitions shows that hda3 has minor line of 3
[11:55] <typecast> phatrabbit: that file will contain the error messages
[11:55] <bigbang14> i have a usb printer. when i connect it to my pc cups cant always detect it. i looked in the syslog and it showed that it was first found by ehci_hcd and then it seems that it was overridden by uhci_hcd and then wont accept any ports it is given. however very rarely it will connect perfectly and cups can detect it. what could be causing this and how can i stop it? is there an irc for usb issues?
[11:55] <phatrabbit> ok
[11:55] <Typo> KennyR: try kopete?
[11:55] <KennyR> DaveR, Typo, Ill try their webpage first, then return with no luck..
[11:55] <Typo> gaim is brilliant though
[11:55] <varkatope> fong: ok, got caught me, i dont really know ;)
[11:56] <Supre_Me> hello, I would like to change my terminal language to english from swedish. How do I do that?

[12:00] <enoxs> hello, i compiled a 2.6.18 kernel on my box with a hostap kernelpatch. When i try to send frames in the air, wireshark sees them as malformed frames. Somebody how knows how to fix this?
[12:00] <Supre_Me> bigbang14: sorry, what do you mean? I know there should be some kind of command for this because I got help to do it before.
[12:00] <Sobek> however, the 0 does not seem to work over here :/
[12:00] <DaveR> Does anyone know how i can network an installed printer so other computers (windows computers) can print using it?
[12:00] <Sobek> at least not at the beginning
[12:01] <Sobek> Daver "samba"
[12:01] <DaveR> Sobek: is that some software or package?

[12:05] <math_> hello, is there some goed howto for sharing files with a macintosh and ubuntu?
[12:05] <bigbang14> Supre_Me: you want to change the language of the terminal?
[12:05] <math_> I realy dont know how to share my files with the macintosh
[12:06] <math_> i gues I need to use nfs?
[12:06] <math_> but the macintosh doesn't find the pc with ubuntu
[12:07] <Dextorion> Hey. Seting up a desktop machine here, and need some neat program for handeling pictures taken with my camera.  I've looked a bit at googles picasa2. Are there any other options? :)
[12:07] <math_> realy quiet in here...

[12:07] <Phatrabbit|2> sudo cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log > spit.txt

[12:10] <Enselic``> bigbang14: im = private messages? no...
[12:10] <Dextorion> ah, true
[12:10] <Sobek> Dextorion: ups, he hasn't even waited 5 minutes, what a shame
[12:10] <Sobek> maybe that explains why the autocompletion of the name would not work :)
[12:10] <Dextorion> Sobek: yup, my thought exactly.. heh

[12:32] <Desp> I downloaded inte but it couldent complete the installation
[12:32] <Frogzoo> slippyr4: did you enable LBS in the bios?
[12:33] <Frogzoo> slippyr4: did you enable LBA in the bios? (can't type)
[12:33] <zoli2k> Desp: Can you once again write your problem? So you have a problem to start the graphical interface? Do you have a terminal window?
[12:33] <slippyr4> frogzoo, yes, it is enabled. the drive is actually a raid controller (1.2 TB array)
[12:33] <Sobek> slippyr4: as root you can try fdisk, mkfs, (cfdisk  /dev/xdY)
[12:33] <bigbang14> is there a specifc usb help irc?
[12:34] <Desp> yes
[12:34] <zoli2k> bigbang14: I am not sure, but you can ask the forum maybe somebody can help you :)
[12:34] <slippyr4> frogzoo: i've now created a 128MB boot partition and a big partition for the rest of the space. I want to use LVM on the rest of the space - does the installer support LVM? i can't see any mention of it anywhere
[12:34] <Desp> ok zoli2k ill restart and see if i get the problem again
[12:35] <hoagie> One of my partitions (dev/sda2) appears as _PNG why?
[12:35] <tony_> i've got a question: im on 6.10 ubuntu and have a 80gb hd, i want to connect my hd to it... but not have to format the other drive becoause there is music and other files i want to keep... will i be able to do this, and read the files from the other drive? any help helps, thanks
[12:35] <slippyr4> frogzoo: or do i need to set up LVM manually too?
[12:35] <Frogzoo> slippyr4: LVM for your other partitions should be fine - root's a problem so make / ext3
[12:35] <Frogzoo> slippyr4: not sure if the installer will do that, you might need the alternate
[12:36] <Frogzoo> !alternate
[12:36] <ubotu> The Alternate CD (available as of Dapper) is the classical text-mode installation CD. Use it if you wish to upgrade via CD, or for an "expert" mode install. For normal installs, use the Desktop CD, which is also a "Live" CD.
[12:36] <slippyr4> why must i have root as non lvm ? thats what initrd is for
[12:36] <tony_> !multiple harddrives
[12:36] <zoli2k> tony_: If you want only simple add this drive to the system, it will be recognized without any  problem. O course, nor formating is needed.
[12:36] <Hemant> anyone can send the invitation of demonoid.com/ ? plz help
[12:36] <hoagie> One of my partitions (dev/sda2) appears as _PNG why?
[12:37] <tony_> thankz zoli2k
[12:37] <Frogzoo> slippyr4: sure you can, it's a question of what the installer can manage
[12:37] <zoli2k> Hemant: This is ubuntu forum, not demonoid.com forum.
[12:37] <slippyr4> hmmm. i think i will need the alternate cd. LVM tools aren't here
[12:37] <Frogzoo> hoagie: labele2fs
[12:37] <Tehlak> moin moin
[12:38] <Frogzoo> Hemant: apt-get install demonoid
[12:38] <hoagie> what is label2fs?
[12:39] <Frogzoo> hoagie: man labele2fs
[12:39] <extern> how can I set the gamma in xorg.conf file? If I set it through system settings->monitor & display->gamma, then it ruins my xorg.conf file and next time I restart my computer, the monitor doesn't show anything. I've set "gamma 1.17" in the monitor section, but when the kde starts, the monitor still displays it incorrectly, while monitor & display settings show the gamma value as 1.17. If I move the slider back and forth, so it is still 1.17 and
[12:39] <extern> push apply, then everything is displayed properly
[12:40] <hoagie> there is no command like label2fs
[12:40] <hoagie> and it has no manual...
[12:40] <Desp> yes
[12:40] <oclet> i'm drunk
[12:40] <oclet> bitches
[12:40] <Desp> done without problems
[12:40] <Frogzoo> hoagie: soz e2label
[12:40] <oclet> so drunk
[12:40] <oclet> apt-get install wasted
[12:41] <hoagie> ok thanks
[12:41] <Frogzoo> oclet: hit alt f4 to read ubotu's pm
[12:41] <hoagie> shall I reboot?
[12:41] <zoli2k> extern: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/X11R6.8.0/doc/xorg.conf.5.html
[12:41] <oclet> Frogzoo: ur a douche bag
[12:41] <oclet> and not funny
[12:41] <slippyr4> if i was to install to a regular HD, can I at a later date copy the files from my root partition to a different drive, update fstab, update grub / install grub on new drive, and be good to go? or is there more to it than that
[12:41] <oclet> and a dumbass
[12:41] <zoli2k> extern: you can set this in the Monitor Section with the Gamma option.
[12:42] <extern> I have set it
[12:42] <extern> but when the graphicafl environemt starts
[12:42] <bigbang14> i have a printer i cant find a driver for. its an inkjet. is there a list of drivers i should try? should i try and write my own ppd? or can i find my ppd on my windows installation disc?
[12:43] <extern> it seems as if it is ignoring that value
[12:43] <extern> though the monitor settings show the correct value set
[12:43] <zoli2k> slippyr4: Yes it is possible. It is a little bit tricky, but it can be done. You boot up a liveCD mount the two disk. Copy the whole root partition and install grub.
[12:44] <phatrabbit> where can i find info on how to uninstall my nvidia drivers
[12:44] <brosioz> anyone have superkaramba on gnome ?
[12:44] <tony_> so i just hooked up my other HD and tried to access it from Places>Computer>19.1GB Volume and it gave me this error :   error: device /dev/hda1 is not removable
[12:44] <tony_> error: could not execute pmount
[12:44] <Mattias> how do i get wxpython 2.8 if it isnt in the repos?
[12:44] <Daverocks> phatrabbit: you can just not use them, by specifying the driver "nv" in xorg.conf
[12:44] <tony_> any suggestions?
[12:44] <slippyr4> zoli2k. cool, i'll give it a go
[12:44] <zoli2k> slippyr4: but if you use 'cp' for copy be careful to do this with the --preserve flag
[12:44] <brosioz> anyone have superkaramba on gnome ? i can't run liquidwheter :|
[12:44] <Daverocks> phatrabbit: as opposed to the proprietary nvidia driver
[12:45] <zoli2k> slippyr4: this will preserve the original rights of files
[12:45] <slippyr4> surely cp -s wil do the job?
[12:45] <slippyr4> *** cp -a
[12:45] <bigbang14> how can i convert ogg to wma?
[12:45] <phatrabbit> Daverocks: yes
[12:45] <zoli2k> slippyr4: cp -r --preserve
[12:46] <phatrabbit> the updated drivers i have installed
[12:46] <zoli2k> slippyr4: Or you can use rsync
[12:46] <Daverocks> phatrabbit: did you want to roll back?
[12:46] <phatrabbit> yes to the defualt drivers
[12:46] <extern> does anyone have any idea why my desktop environment ignores the gamma value set in xorg.conf after it boots?
[12:46] <slippyr4> zoli2k: or i could use dd and then resize the filesystem
[12:46] <bigbang14> does anyone here have an olivetti any_way simple printer?
[12:47] <zoli2k> slippyr4: Yes, this is also an alternative.
[12:47] <tony_> zoli2k, would these instructions work for what i'm doing.. or anyone http://daryl.learnhouston.com/2006/05/03/adding-a-hard-drive-to-a-ubuntu-linux-box/
[12:47] <hoagie> e2label only works for ext parrtitions mine is fat32
[12:48] <zoli2k> slippyr4: but be carefull, in my edgy installation the fstab does not contain the name of devices like /dev/sda1 but the UUID of hardisk.
[12:48] <slippyr4> i've seen that too. where can you find out the uuid of a new disk?
[12:48] <zoli2k> slippyr4: so if you use dd, on the new disk this value may be different.
[12:48] <hoagie> so how can I make the partition to be displayed as Data instead of _PNG
[12:49] <Desp> I installd dc++ and limewire from sources and installd java but i still cant run dc++ or limewire

[12:52] <Desp> no
[12:52] <Desp> where can i download it
[12:53] <zoli2k> Desp: It is a good and fest alternative.
[12:53] <Desp> ok
[12:53] <Desp> and how can i remove limewire and dc++
[12:54] <bigbang14> how do you convert ogg to wma

[12:58] <ardchoille> Phatrabbit|2: Did you compile the nvidia drivers?
[12:58] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: looks like error on wacom device
[12:58] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: post your xorg.conf
[12:59] <desp_> zoli2k:  why I can reach my host from my linux box but not from the WAN or local ?
[12:59] <Phatrabbit|2> no i installed them using
[12:59] <Blais1> Hi can anyone help me with setting the correct resolutionan drefresh rate for my monitor?
[12:59] <Phatrabbit|2> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[12:59] <Phatrabbit|2> i will paste my xorg.conf
[12:59] <desp_> nice dc++ working
[12:59] <desp_> thanx alot bro
[01:00] <ardchoille> Phatrabbit|2: Ok, did you edit xorg.conf and then restart X ?
[01:00] <Phatrabbit|2> the only thing i edited was
[01:00] <Phatrabbit|2> driver and it said vesa so i changed it to nvidia
[01:00] <zoli2k> desp_: I did not understand the question.
[01:00] <Phatrabbit|2> and when i restart x everything crashes
[01:01] <desp_> when i open my host on browser Its open but when i open it on other box it dont
[01:01] <desp_> weird
[01:01] <zoli2k> Phatrabbit|2: Try to remove the Load "glx" line from your xorg file.
[01:01] <Meltdown79> Hey guys, have anyone of you gotten Dreamweaver MX 2004 to work on Ubuntu 6.10??
[01:01] <Mattias> zoli2k: im having that and im running fine
[01:02] <Mattias> using GeForce 7800 GT

[01:02] <Tominator> hi. since the last kernle update, my prism2.5 card doesn't work anymore... what is wrong with it?
[01:02] <zoli2k> desp_: do you have DNS set correctly?
[01:02] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: change Driver "vesa" to Driver "nvidia"
[01:03] <desp_> how can i check it ?
[01:03] <Phatrabbit|2> yer i do then i restart and it crashes
[01:03] <desp_> it sould be my static ip right
[01:03] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: and you need to increase resolution too, wait, ill remake the xorg.conf and fix it all
[01:03] <Phatrabbit|2> ohh thanks so much ive been trying for the last 4 hours and i am going slightly mad!
[01:03] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: btw, whats the error?
[01:03] <ardchoille> Has anyone gone to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ and looked at the fifth option in the Syntax drop down list? What's up with that?
[01:04] <Phatrabbit|2> it cant restart Xserver and you get the blue screen asking if u want to see the error
[01:04] <desp_> when I run nmap it show me that everything ok and 1 host up
[01:04] <zoli2k> desp_:  the /etc/resolv.conf contains the current DNS serves IP. Our you can set and control this by "network-admin" from the control panel.
[01:04] <Phatrabbit|2> i find it abit hard to grab that text and put it into a file
[01:04] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: do you use wacom tablet at all?
[01:04] <IdleOne> ardchoille, seems pastebin either get hacked or it's an actual syntax
[01:05] <Phatrabbit|2> not sure what wacom is sorry
[01:05] <ardchoille> IdleOne: Yeah
[01:05] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: okay, ill remove that too then ^_^
[01:05] <varkatope> Meltdown79: wine / crossover office
[01:05] <Phatrabbit|2> FYI: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[01:06] <Phatrabbit|2> oops
[01:06] <Phatrabbit|2> nvidia-glx is already the newest version.
[01:06] <Phatrabbit|2> nvidia-kernel-common is already the newest version.
[01:06] <Meltdown79> varkatope yepp, i have tried to follow those guides for wine, i got my photoshop to work but not dreamweaver mx2004
[01:06] <c1|freaky> hi all. is there anywhere a wiki page describing how i can make and use encrypted filesystems on a partition and how to use it and what the advantages and disadvantages are?
[01:06] <sadafds> hey pls click this link!! http://800Call.info/ptp.php?usr=confucio342

[01:06] <tanim> hi, getting error when i mount a CD in my drive
[01:07] <tanim> "device doesn't have read permissions for this account"
[01:07] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: this should work, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6209/   restart computer after that
[01:07] <Phatrabbit|2> CHEERS !

[01:08] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: sec ill see what i can do about those
[01:08] <tanim> i should mention i am mounting the CD as a user
[01:08] <monzie> i followed all the step given in the ubuntu wiki to set it up
[01:08] <unop> tanim,  what exact command are you using?
[01:08] <babo> so I'm typing away on irc, and suddenly the window minimizes. This happens often.
[01:08] <monzie> and all it does it freezes up the system
[01:08] <babo> Also, the caret jumps to the cursor mark without me pressing anything :-(
[01:08] <monzie> help please!
[01:09] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: go to the bottom and copy everything from the lil window with all text in
[01:09] <babo> I've adjusted the touchpad sensitivity ( I think ) but the problem still happens. Am I the only one with this issue ? it's an edgy vanilla install ...
[01:09] <gansinho> hello, does anybody knows if the kubuntu bleeding edge package has still development packages or just the final releases?
[01:09] <zoli2k> desp_: you should set DNS to the value given by your internet provider.
[01:09] <Phatrabbit|2> ok np
[01:09] <Flannel> gansinho: what?  Feisty is alpha still.  If that's what you're asking
[01:10] <Flannel> gansinho: it just has the versions it'll release with
[01:10] <desp_> where
[01:10] <Phatrabbit|2> Mattias: ok before i go how can i get the exact error
[01:10] <monzie> how do i fix the ati binary driver problem?
[01:10] <Ubuntu85> ragazzi avrei bisogno di creare una tap virtuale sapete dirmi come procedere?
[01:10] <desp_> ok 1 sec
[01:10] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: look if its the 3d card device or any other device name in the blue screen
[01:10] <Flannel> !it | Ubuntu85
[01:10] <ubotu> Ubuntu85: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[01:10] <Ubuntu85> ok
[01:11] <gansinho> Flannel: nope, there are some repos called "kubuntu bleeding edge KDE" in source-o-matic and I wanna know if these sources has just fresh new packages for Kubuntu or development versions of the packages
[01:12] <Harksaw> So when I try to go to my bank's website, firefox always crashes. What's another browser that isn't likely to crash?
[01:12] <Phatrabbit|2> Mattias: usually i do somthing like cat cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf > xorg.txt   can i do somthing like that
[01:12] <monzie> can someone please tell me how to fix the binary driver problem?
[01:12] <unska_> okay guys im having some serious problems! i did a: mount -o loop filename.img /home/unska/ and now i cant access to my computer anymore, everything stopped working
[01:12] <Phatrabbit|2> where is that error written to
[01:12] <unska_> the mounting itself worked fine but i have lost the access to all files etc
[01:12] <Flannel> gansinho: bleeding edge usually means less than stable
[01:13] <phretor> hi there
[01:13] <Frogzoo> unska_: that was a really bad place to mount a cd
[01:13] <phretor> I've already posted my problem on #kubuntu: http://www.google.com/search?q=there+are+differences+between+boot+sector+and+its+backup+not+automatically
[01:13] <vorbote> unska_: you asked for it :-) quick solution "sudo telinit 1" and unmont the image file while in single user mode.
[01:13] <gansinho> Flannel: thanks!
[01:14] <Frogzoo> unska_: ctrl alt del - & don't mount the cd there next time
[01:14] <Flannel> gansinho: you might try asking in #kubuntu, they'll know more, because it's apparently their repository (http://kubuntu.org/packages/kde-latest)
[01:14] <vorbote> unska_: or just reboot the machine.
[01:14] <gansinho> Flannel: thanks!
[01:14] <unska_> Frogzoo, im on alt+ctrl+f1 view
[01:14] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: usually logs is in /var/log somewhere
[01:14] <unska_> i cant log on to my account :p
[01:14] <unska_> i didnt restart my ubuntu though
[01:15] <unska_> would that fix it?
[01:15] <vorbote> unska_: yes
[01:15] <unska_> i should mount stuff to /mnt? :p
[01:15] <Watakach> hi everybody !
[01:15] <Flannel> unska_: /media is standard on ubuntu (well, a subdir thereof)
[01:16] <vorbote> unska_: that's the canonical mounitng point. /media is used by the gnome vfs server
[01:16] <Phatrabbit|2> Frogzoo: when xserver screws up and you get the blue screen asking if u want to check the error what path does that error get saved to
[01:16] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:16] <ardchoille> IdleOne: That's actually a programming language. Wikipedia has an article about it.
[01:16] <Frogzoo> unska_: 'sudo umount /home/unska'
[01:16] <Phatrabbit|2> cheers
[01:16] <Phatrabbit|2> ok gonna give it a go now
[01:16] <IdleOne> ardchoille, lmao well ok then
[01:17] <jazz__________> hi
[01:17] <IdleOne> !hi jazz__________
[01:18] <Watakach> Hello, I    got a big probleme... my menu.lst is  is empty....
[01:18] <zoli2k> how can I protect a package to be upgraded? I installed a deb package from debian sarge with  higher version number.
[01:18] <Flannel> !pin | zoli2k
[01:18] <ubotu> zoli2k: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[01:18] <Watakach> if someone want to help me, it will be realy nnice
[01:19] <zoli2k> Flannel: Thx
[01:19] <jazz__________> gaim crashes every time i start a discussion with a msn user
[01:19] <Flannel> zoli2k: but, mixing debian/ubuntu isn't a very good idea.  They aren't guarenteed binary compatability.  Just, something to be aware of
[01:19] <Frogzoo> Phatrabbit|2: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:19] <IdleOne> Watakach, what did you do before the list got emtied?
[01:19] <Intensity> Hi. I'm getting RAID errors like "sdc2 has same UUID but different superblock to sda2; sdc2 has different UUID to sda2" when booting.  sd[a-d] 2 are a RAID6 that worked fine previously.  Temporarily one of the drives couldn't be seen properly with another kernel.  Does this mean that some kind of drive renumbering took place transparently?
[01:19] <cbx33> what's up Watakach
[01:19] <jazz__________> gaim crashes every time i start a discussion with a msn user
[01:19] <cbx33> ask your question
[01:19] <mkay__> hi guys. i installed edgy. my problm is, that my pci and usb dont work. in dapper i have startet with usb=bios pci=bios in the kernel-parameters. how i have to start in edgy?
[01:20] <ardchoille> jazz__________: We heard you
[01:20] <Watakach> i try to make a nother boot with a script grubed
[01:20] <jazz__________> wha i have to do?
[01:20] <Watakach> so now im on knoppix to put my backup file of menu.lst

[01:20] <staar2> hello
[01:20] <ardchoille> xopher-: Thank you
[01:21] <staar2> how can i use ira in ubuntu
[01:21] <jazz__________> less annoying nickname??jazz rocks!!
[01:21] <IdleOne> ira?
[01:21] <staar2> i need to use ira with nokia 5100 ???
[01:21] <zoli2k> Flannel: It is the libyaz-dev package, so it should be fine I think.
[01:21] <staar2> infrared connection
[01:21] <iturk> hi there guys is there a way to replace the lilo in the masterboot again after another OS has been placed there  ?
[01:21] <jose> hola
[01:21] <IdleOne> jazz__________, jazz rocks fine the ___________ that is wasted space and takes up room on my screen is annoying
[01:22] <jazz__________> ok
[01:22] <IdleOne> ty :)
[01:22] <Flannel> iturk: you'll just have to re-install lilo
[01:22] <staar2> :-!
[01:22] <jose> alguien habla espaol ?
[01:22] <Flannel> !es | jose
[01:22] <ubotu> jose: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[01:22] <staar2> i need to use ira with nokia 5100 ???
[01:22] <unska_> Frogzoo, vorbote thanks, everything is perfect again hehe
[01:23] <ardchoille> jazz_time: W00T! :)
[01:23] <IdleOne> jazz_time, better :)
[01:23] <jose> okok
[01:23] <jazz_time> lol
[01:23] <iturk> Flannel: ok i will try
[01:23] <Watakach> IdleOne: I cant put my backup file of menu.lst, because its a read only file system (im try to do it on knoppix)
[01:24] <arno__> lo i m new user under linux
[01:24] <unop> Watakach,  mount your drive a read/write (on knoppix)
[01:24] <arno__> it's great
[01:24] <IdleOne> Watakach, sorry dont know how to fix that
[01:24] <unop> as*
[01:24] <IdleOne> arno__, welcome
[01:24] <Watakach> unop, i did chmod, but it doesnt want to change
[01:24] <jazz_time> so,What have i to do whit gaim?it crashes every time a msn user inveites me to a chat...
[01:25] <humbolto> I am having apt authentication problems over and over again with EDGY repos! What might be the reason?
[01:25] <Phatrabbit|2> Mattias: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6213/
[01:25] <humbolto> edgy and edgy backports
[01:25] <Phatrabbit|2> no luck with ur config
[01:25] <IdleOne> jazz_time, you can use Amsn sudo aptitutde install amsn
[01:25] <sebrock> does anyone know how I swap channels in Alsa+
[01:25] <sebrock> ?
[01:25] <jazz_time> now i use amsn but i gaim is better
[01:25] <Watakach> unop, i cant write one this file...
[01:25] <unop> Watakach,  no no, on the desktop, click your drive/device, right click, mount -> as read/write (or what it's named there)
[01:26] <Watakach> ok i try
[01:26] <desp_> zoli2k: I have 2 dns in my resolv.config and no one of them my isp ip
[01:26] <Intensity> Also, ubuntu install cd is not recognizing the SATA disk.  sd[a-c]  show only when I boot from the CD.  But the kernel is showing all 4 sd[a-d] .  There is one of the four drives that initialize separately in BIOS.  The system was working before but somehow the RAID superblocks have been modified.  And I'm getting the errors I described above.  Any ideas?
[01:26] <desp_> should i remove them both ?
[01:26] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: it fails to open glx drivers
[01:26] <unop> Watakach,  knoppix mounts devices are read-only by default, if you want to change anything, you must remount them as read/write
[01:26] <Phatrabbit|2> yup
[01:27] <Phatrabbit|2> where was your pastebin config again mattias i want to double check somthing
[01:27] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: i installed my nvidia with beryl, and it worked, maybe you could try it too http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install_Beryl_on_Ubuntu_Edgy_with_nVidia
[01:28] <Phatrabbit|2> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6213/
[01:28] <Phatrabbit|2> i got it
[01:28] <iturk> Flannel: i have this option for lilo in the man -> lilo.real -M /dev/XXX [ mbr | ext ]       install master boot record !!!! so the device should be hda, do you think its correct ?
[01:28] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: xorg.conf is okay, its not that
[01:28] <unop> Intensity,  is that the live CD or alternate CD?
[01:28] <Mattias> Phatrabbit|2: well i gotta go, try that guide and it should work
[01:28] <Mattias> good luck
[01:28] <Phatrabbit|2> ok thanks for ur help
[01:28] <Phatrabbit|2> cheers
[01:30] <Intensity> unop: It's server install.
[01:31] <unska_> Frogzoo, so how should i mount this image now?
[01:31] <Intensity> unop: I could reboot the machine again and let you know the separate screen information that is given for that particular SATA device...
[01:31] <unop> Intensity,  that'd definitely help in troubleshooting
[01:31] <Intensity> unop: But, the real mystery is how the UUID changed...  In any case, I need to fix it to be consistent.
[01:31] <unop> Intensity,  ahh, UUID problem
[01:31] <Watakach> unop, thx it wasnt put read write , but its steal downst make it.. but i will try other thigs now i can write.. i must go dinner see ya
[01:32] <KennyR> what kind of Media Player can play WMA, MP3, etc
[01:32] <Frogzoo> unska_: 'sudo mkdir /mnt ; sudo mount -o loop blah.iso /mnt'
[01:32] <unop> Intensity,  well, is this a UUID problem in relation to something like /etc/fstab?
[01:32] <unska_> Frogzoo, why not use the /media ?
[01:32] <Phatrabbit|2> Frogzoo: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6213/
[01:32] <Phatrabbit|2> any ideas on how to get it to load glx properly
[01:33] <unop> Intensity,  in most cases, it's safe to use the old-style device names instead of UUIDs, perhaps you could try that
[01:33] <Frogzoo> unska_: that's for HAL
[01:33] <Intensity> unop: jmicron pcie-to-sataii-ide raid controller
[01:33] <unska_> Frogzoo, what his this HAL?
[01:33] <desp_> zoli2k: I did but i still cant reach the host from othe box
[01:33] <unska_> btw i had the /mnt on default
[01:33] <Frogzoo> unop: grub gets cranky if you do that
[01:34] <zoli2k> desp_: can you ping the IP ?
[01:34] <Frogzoo> !hal
[01:34] <ubotu> hal: Hardware Abstraction Layer. In component main, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu17 (edgy), package size 347 kB, installed size 1112 kB
[01:34] <desp_> from the linux box
[01:34] <zoli2k> desp_: yes
[01:34] <desp_> yes i can
[01:34] <desp_> and the host too
[01:34] <desp_> how to stop the ping
[01:34] <unop> Frogzoo,  errm, i've never seen that happen -- i've grub get cranky when the device the UUID points to changes and is no longer available, and thats extremely annoying, i dont see the point to UUIds
[01:35] <zoli2k> desp_: CTRL-C
[01:35] <Intensity> unop: I'm not specifying anything manually; the boot doesn't get anywhere.  I get the messages about UUID's being differently upon kernel bootup.
[01:35] <desp_> 41 packets transmitted, 41 received, 0% packet loss, time 40048ms
[01:36] <unop> Intensity,  well, let us know the exact messages as you seen them
[01:36] <desp_> so ?
[01:36] <koregaonpark> hey all. can someone tell me how to prevent my slave hard disk from mounting to /media? I'm going to be formatting that drive and putting windows on it...
[01:37] <desp_> and i cant even ssh the box from local (my lapto)
[01:37] <Phatrabbit|2> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6213/  can anyone help with my nvidia driver issue
[01:38] <dcordes> koregaonpark: remove the relating line in /etc/fstab
[01:38] <Intensity> unop: I'm getting RAID errors like "sdc2 has same UUID but different superblock to sda2; sdc2 has different UUID to sda2" when booting.  sd[a-d] 2 are a RAID6 that worked fine previously.
[01:38] <desp_> hrmmm
[01:38] <koregaonpark> dcordes, ah okay. so i would have to open it in gedit right? sudo gedit /etc/fstab?
[01:40] <unop> Intensity,  ok, from the previous few lines before that messages, what does linux appear to be doing? is it verifying something or trying to mount this RAID device?
[01:41] <Intensity> unop: It's mounting the RAID device because it's a RAID6 for the root filesystem.  It worked before, so I'm not sure what changed.  And, any idea why I can't see the last drive when I boot into rescue mode with the CD?
[01:42] <Frogzoo> unop: sudo update-grub will helpfully replace your device names with the UUID
[01:42] <dcordes> koregaonpark: damn right
[01:42] <dcordes> !fstab | koregaonpark
[01:42] <ubotu> koregaonpark: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[01:42] <koregaonpark> dcordes, thanks!
[01:42] <dcordes> koregaonpark: no problem mate
[01:44] <unop> Intensity,  I'm not really sure about the missing drive in rescue mode -- doesnt linux have anything to say about this drive while booting up into rescue mode? does hdparm list any information about them once in rescue mode
[01:45] <fstarter> ??
[01:45] <fstarter> !!
[01:45] <Intensity> unop: No, no information is reported.  Only sda through sdc appear in any dmesg output.  No sdd information shows at all.  But when I boot the other kernel, it does show.
[01:45] <dcordes> Intensity: define previously
[01:45] <kestaz> how to upgrade to feisty ?
[01:45] <fstarter>      ....
[01:45] <dcordes> what's that? korean?
[01:45] <koregaonpark> hey dcordes, hdb1 only shows up in /media and not in the fstab file.
[01:45] <koregaonpark> dcordes, can i just go ahead and wipe out hdb1 and install windows?
[01:45] <steff> my problem: sometimes i start and i can see only the brown ubuntu background the mousepointer - and for a very short time i can hear the start up sound - after taht a restart approx. 2 times more and it works
[01:46] <dcordes> koregaonpark: what in media is it? /media/hdb1 ?
[01:46] <unop> Intensity,  by other kernel, do you mean normal mode? because there's a difference
[01:47] <koregaonpark> dcordes, i have my secondary hard disk (80 gb) mounted in /media/hdb1
[01:47] <Intensity> dcordes: I set up Annvix just early today and it booted fine.  I then added two IDE drives temporarily.  This shifted renumbering or threw something off.  (Or perhaps this was because one of the drives wasn't attached all the way).. But ever since then, while I get grub to load, I don't get any defaults loaded.  So I have to enter the command line myself.  Annvix ships with another 2.6 kernel that is recognizing the drive.  But now it's not getting
[01:47] <dcordes> koregaonpark: ah sure you can :) but i should inform you, that when you first install linux and then windows, windows will overwrite your master boot record which includes grub

[01:47] <extern> has anyone managed to access cell phones' file system?
[01:47] <Phatrabbit|2> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6213/  can anyone help with my nvidia driver issue
[01:47] <koregaonpark> dcordes, ohh damn! i need to be able to access my primary installation of ubuntu edgy!
[01:48] <koregaonpark> dcordes, thanks for the links!
[01:48] <KennyR> Does anyone know where to get some XMMS Themes/Skins??
[01:48] <pablo_> hi! how do i join ubuntu box to a windows 2003 domain?
[01:49] <dcordes> koregaonpark: it is a bit tricky restoring GRUB after a windows installation when you are new. but when you read all that stuff you should be able to do it
[01:49] <Steil> KennyR: They're the same as winamp classic skins, check winamp.com
[01:49] <unop> pablo_,  http://google.com/linux :)
[01:49] <ghatak> Phatrabbit|2: looks like your driver is not installed correctly
[01:49] <KennyR> Steil, You can load Winamp skins into XMMS?
[01:49] <koregaonpark> dcordes, okay... it doesn't look too hard, i have a dapper live cd
[01:49] <Steil> KennyR: Winamp classic
[01:49] <Steil> not the modern skins
[01:49] <Spee_Der> KennyR, sudo apt-get install xmms-skins
[01:49] <KennyR> sweet
[01:49] <KennyR> thanks
[01:49] <dcordes> KennyR: xmms uses the same format. i have the good oldskool skin here
[01:49] <Steil> you can also load equalizer presets fro winamp
[01:50] <KennyR> So I cant load the modern themes??
[01:50] <KennyR> =(
[01:50] <dcordes> koregaonpark: there you go. that's all you need
[01:50] <KennyR> I have the Blues, Modern Theme
[01:50] <dcordes> dunno
[01:50] <dcordes> i only have the good old winamp one
[01:50] <Steil> modern themes wont work
[01:50] <koregaonpark> dcordes, thanks again, i'll let you know how it goes...
[01:50] <Koelkast> hello
[01:50] <dcordes> koregaonpark: good luck
[01:50] <Koelkast> hello guys, I got a question
[01:51] <aatdark> feel free to ask :D
[01:51] <dcordes> !ask | Koelkast
[01:51] <ubotu> Koelkast: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:51] <Koelkast> already made a forum post about it, but decided to ask it here as well :D
[01:51] <KennyR> Is there a way to minimize XMMS to a tray icon?
[01:51] <Phatrabbit|2> ghatak: i have installed them .. i think
[01:51] <steff> no ideas ?
[01:51] <Koelkast> Well I just installed xubuntu 6.10 and it comes with gxine, and well I just downloaded the win32 codecs
[01:51] <Phatrabbit|2> ghatak: i just installed the deb package for the latest drivers
[01:52] <Koelkast> and If i run a mpeg file, it only gives me video, no sound, altough I get sound when playing wav files, so Its not the sound settings I think
[01:52] <dcordes> KennyR: i once used a program called alltray. i was able to put everything in tray with it! very nice tool. you just install it and run the programs you want in tray with "alltray programname"
[01:52] <KennyR> dcordes, Do you know where I can get this tool?
[01:52] <Koelkast> and mp3s dont work either, i also tried to install totem, but it gives less result then gxine does :/
[01:53] <Crippy-Boy> keolkast, look at restricted formats on the wiki
[01:53] <Intensity> unop: Hmm. The jmicron pcie-to-sataii-ide raid controller state of affairs looks pretty ugly.  Still, I don't know why it wouldn't be seen in a later 2.6 kernel...
[01:53] <KennyR> Koelkast, im using XMMS and its playing my mp3's mastered... iv never heard my songs sound so better
[01:53] <dcordes> KennyR: not really. i would have to google it too
[01:53] <dcordes> there are debs!
[01:53] <Phatrabbit|2> .12-28.1_i386.deb
[01:53] <KennyR> dcordes, Do you know the name at least?
[01:53] <Koelkast> yes I read all that, and i installed the win32 codecs, but i think its weird i dont get sound on mpeg files but do get video
[01:54] <Phatrabbit|2> ghatak: i done  sudo dpkg -i nvidia-glx_1.0.8776+<IP_ADDRESS>-28.1_i386.deb
[01:54] <Crippy-Boy> Depends which codec the video is using for sound
[01:54] <dcordes> KennyR: ah you should read what i say :P
[01:54] <KennyR> dcordes, Nevermind, I seen your above comment, its called alltray, correct/
[01:54] <desp_> zoli2k: the file interfaces is empty ..../etc/network/interfaces
[01:54] <desp_>  what should i have there
[01:54] <desp_> ?
[01:55] <dcordes> yep yep
[01:55] <desp_> my ip ?
[01:55] <KennyR> dcordes, Yeah.. there was alot going on ATM..
[01:55] <koregaonpark> dcordes, i have only 1 linux partition, you think it's wise to use super grub disc?
[01:55] <KennyR> dcordes, im sorry..
[01:55] <dcordes> KennyR: nvm
[01:55] <koregaonpark> dcordes, i mean only 1 linux install
[01:55] <dcordes> koregaonpark: yes super grub disc saved my as* several times
[01:55] <zoli2k> desp: configure your network with "sudo network-admin"
[01:55] <ghatak> Phatrabbit|2: depends which card you got .....
[01:55] <koregaonpark> dcordes, okay, great!
[01:55] <unop> Intensity,  well, from what you have told me, it looks like a UUID clash if thats how this controller works (i.e. assinging UUID to the various devices)  or it appears that your disk might have dropped out of the array configuration and the device has detected that it has a different superblock as a result
[01:55] <dcordes> koregaonpark: if you won't be able to restore it with SGD you will at least be able to boot
[01:55] <Koelkast> what about VLC should I try that?
[01:56] <desp_> ok then
[01:56] <mackinac> VLC plays almost everything without needing to install codecs
[01:56] <unop> Intensity,  s/device/controller/
[01:56] <dcordes> Koelkast: depends on what you are going to do with it
[01:56] <Phatrabbit|2> i have a 6600 GT
[01:56] <Koelkast> alright, just playing user submitted videos
[01:56] <dcordes> mackinac: except w32 stuff
[01:56] <Koelkast> alright lemme try that
[01:57] <desp_> what about domain name its empty should i put my host there ?
[01:57] <Koelkast> k installing it atm
[01:57] <Intensity> unop: I think that it may have been renumbered (swapping sdc and sdd).  But that wouldn't explain all of the errors I got because it was comparing sda to sdX where X is in b, c, d.
[01:58] <koregaonpark> dcordes, just 1 thing...  will hdb1 still mount at /media after i install windows?
[01:58] <unop> Intensity,  it's likely that that drive that it is complaining about is failing/ is about to fail .. you should use SMART to rule that out
[01:58] <dcordes> koregaonpark: yep
[01:58] <dcordes> most likely
[01:58] <mackinac> dcordes, I don't know about all, but it plays some win stuff
[01:58] <Koelkast> Btw I also searched alot of this problem, even tough i tried alsa mixer and everything, i cant get surround to work, on a Realtek AC97, people say its impossible on some forums, so best choice is to buy a sound card?
[01:59] <koregaonpark> dcordes, okay, so ill most probably be able to access my win partition?
[01:59] <linc> i've searched and searched and can't find out how to NOT have certain modules loaded at boot up
[01:59] <dcordes> koregaonpark: indeed
[01:59] <mackinac> i have it playing wma right now
[01:59] <dcordes> bbl
[01:59] <unop> Intensity,  well, that doesnt explain why 3 devices are detected normally and one isnt

[02:01] <Koelkast> vlc plays it perfectly
[02:01] <aardvark972> hello
[02:01] <linc> can anyone help me out? there are a few kernel modules i don't want ran at bootup. they block me from using ndiswrapper
[02:01] <Koelkast> I also installed the mozilla plugin for vlcplayer
[02:01] <Koelkast> thx alot :D
[02:01] <Koelkast> Altough I still wonna fix gxine :p
[02:02] <aardvark972> I have installed ubuntu 6.10 on my thinkpad t40 laptop; I am looking for a way to configure the built-in wireless card
[02:02] <mackinac> plays wmv too . . .
[02:02] <aardvark972> some forums say that the built-in card is unsupported, but those are relatively old
[02:02] <Koelkast> oh yes, darn totem is still standard media player
[02:02] <Koelkast> how do I change it to VLC?
[02:02] <aardvark972> is that really so? or is there a way to make it work...
[02:02] <aardvark972> ?
[02:02] <DGilmour> hi everybody
[02:03] <Intensity> unop: But the partial recognition is only an issue when I am using ubuntu.  I am only using ubuntu for the purposes of recovery.  I can't burn another CD at the moment.  So I'm just guessing that it is not supported in ubuntu.  The main problem is what caused the UUID's to change.  And why I'm not getting a real menu in grub anymore.  And, why I'm not able to mount the RAID6 root filesystem.
[02:03] <DGilmour> I'm learning to develop gui applications on Linux
[02:03] <DGilmour> could anyone tell me a good work or web resource for it?
[02:03] <DGilmour> for now I'm trying glade
[02:03] <Koelkast> If I got VLC now, do I still need xine / or totem?  or Can I delete those?
[02:03] <linc> no one can help me out with my kernel modules problem?
[02:03] <mackinac> Koelkast:  R-click on a media file, properties, open with
[02:04] <mackinac> deleting totem will break ubuntu-desktop metapackage
[02:04] <Koelkast> thx Mack, sorry cant pm, not registered
[02:04] <mackinac> not a huge problem except for dist upgrade
[02:04] <Koelkast> ok
[02:05] <desp_> Usage:program_name [address] [:port]  what is this mean ?
[02:05] <Koelkast> well got enough HD space anyways, wont delete totem then :D
[02:06] <elkbuntu> !register | Koelkast, registering is easy
[02:06] <ubotu> Koelkast, registering is easy: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration

[02:06] <Enselic``> desp_: [this]  means "not obligatory"
[02:06] <desp_> why do i need it
[02:06] <desp_> ok
[02:07] <desp_> should i restart networking now ?
[02:07] <Enselic``> desp_: I dont know why you need it, I dont know what program you refer to
[02:07] <fiveiron> http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS2657814070.html
[02:07] <Koelkast> k done
[02:07] <Koelkast> I registered :D
[02:08] <unop> Intensity,  I'm not sure how this controller works -- I have a feeling that what happens here is linux reads the superblock of the devices and based on it, assigns them into the RAID array of a mapped UUID .. but since one of the drive reports another superblock now, linux is complaining
[02:09] <Intensity> unop: The error message I got the from the kernel is already self-contradictory.
[02:09] <Intensity> unop: It says that the UUID is the same and that it is different.
[02:10] <yaman> where can i find a driver for this (ATI SB400 - AC'97 Modem)

[02:11] <Richard> i am using hp laptop now!
[02:11] <yeniklasor> no
[02:12] <yeniklasor> Richard : Did you do anything manual for webcam driver?
[02:13] <Richard> why i cant use Fn+f7 and Fn+f8,it's nothing!
[02:13] <Richard> oh ,i know, if you are use ubuntu,the webcam can be use
[02:13] <unop> Intensity,  there'sa difference in UUID and superblock .. it's reporting the same UUID for the devices but that hdcX reports a different superblock .. in any case, I'm not really sure how to go on from here, it might be as simple as reassigning hdcX back into the set or it could be that hdcX is failing/failed .. ic ant be sure
[02:14] <xtknight> Richard: what are fn+f7 and fn+f8 supposed to do?
[02:14] <yeniklasor> lights
[02:14] <yeniklasor> I can use that
[02:14] <Richard> it's dark and light
[02:14] <xtknight> dark and light, what?
[02:14] <xtknight> oh brightness and contrast?
[02:15] <yeniklasor> yes
[02:15] <xtknight> yeah those keys just don't work sometimes since they use software hooks
[02:15] <Richard> yes
[02:15] <Intensity> unop: When I changed the configuration in BIOS from basic to the other mode (I forget what it's called), I now get in ubuntu: /dev/sdb: SCSI2 (0,0,0) (sdb) - 327.7 kB ATA Config Disk.  What on earth would that mean?  A 327.7 kB disk drive?  It's sitting beside the other three 300GB disks.  Any idea what that means???
[02:16] <yeniklasor> System-->Preferences-->Keyboard
[02:16] <yeniklasor> choose true one
[02:16] <Richard> what's choose?
[02:17] <unop> Intensity,  I'm quite convinced at this moment that the disk is "dead" .. perhaps you have some SCSI tools that your HDD's vendor has given you, use that to test the drive
[02:17] <yeniklasor> And ubuntu don't support my Raid 0 harddisks
[02:17] <yeniklasor> Richard : There is HP drivers
[02:17] <xtknight> yeniklasor: what raid0 controller?
[02:17] <yeniklasor> you can try :)
[02:18] <yeniklasor> yes raid0
[02:18] <xtknight> which controller?
[02:18] <yeniklasor> 80 GB+80 GB samsung harddisks With raid 0
[02:18] <praveer_fedora> is there audio support for intel 865gvhz board on ubuntu 6.06lts?
[02:18] <yeniklasor> and ntfs
[02:19] <Intensity> unop: Well, it's not SCSI; it's SATA.  And, the drives are now.  And, they are being recognized when I boot the other 2.6 kernel (where I see sda through sdd).  It's only under ubuntu where I do not see sdd.
[02:20] <yeniklasor> xtknight : What do you mean with controller?
[02:20] <Richard> it's hp v3212TU,what should i choose?
[02:20] <yeniklasor> VIA raid tolls ?
[02:20] <Koelkast> hmmm my boxes are crackling a bit tough
[02:20] <Koelkast> with vlc
[02:21] <Phatrabbit|2> Hi all if i have a AMD 64+ Geforce 6600 GT which one do i download from http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[02:21] <unop> Intensity,  I've seen "dead" drives report anomalous sizes .. and you seem to have that too .. SCSI or SATA (the error message there is a little misleading) you should verify the consistency of this drive at this point
[02:21] <xtknight> praveer_fedora: it's the ALC202A chipset.  i think alsa may support it, but i'm not sure
[02:21] <xtknight> yeniklasor: no, what chipset for the raid0?
[02:21] <praveer_fedora> there are drivers for Redhat, Novell or SUSE but none for debian based ones @ http://downloadfinder.intel.com/scripts-df-external/Product_Filter.aspx?ProductID=1704&lang=eng
[02:21] <mackinac> boxes?
[02:22] <Richard> yeniklasor it's hp v3212TU,what should i choose?
[02:22] <xtknight> yeniklasor: via onboard raid i assume?
[02:22] <yeniklasor> yes
[02:22] <Intensity> unop: But under Ubuntu it's clearly marked separately from the other drives - with the string "ATA Config Disk".  So that can't be because of what the actual drive is reporting.  And, the partition table shows fine when I boot the other kernel.
[02:22] <yeniklasor> Richard : wait
[02:22] <Phatrabbit|2> Hi all if i have a AMD 64+ Geforce 6600 GT which one do i download from http://www.nvidia.com/object/unix.html
[02:22] <xtknight> praveer_fedora: it should work in the latest alsa with the intel 8x0 driver
[02:22] <Richard> so what should i choose?

[02:33] <xtknight> crazy_bus: where exactly are you looking?
[02:33] <mastermixer> IdleOne, it's a music organizer / tag editor.. it can do mass stuff like mass renaming, tag edition
[02:34] <dave1> thx, i'll try that again, but last time it just crashed it instead

[02:34] <Phatrabbit|2> where can i find the sourcelist again
[02:34] <unimatrix9> http://azureus.sourceforge.net/howto_linux.php
[02:34] <xtknight> praveer_fedora: ok.  well his card should be working.  there might be a switch in the mixer he needs to check (like analog/digital output) to get it to work properly.  other than that, it's detected by ubuntu and the driver has been loaded
[02:34] <Enselic``> xtknight: ah, ty
[02:34] <crazy_bus> firefox-edit-prefrences-content-default font
[02:34] <praveer_fedora> xtknight: ok,

[02:35] <unimatrix9> k750i run it from the new dir...dont use the one from synaptic...
[02:35] <mackinac> !find mbox

[02:35] <ubotu> Package/file audio-tag-tool does not exist in edgy

[02:36] <praveer_fedora> xtknight: yes, ty, i am trying that
[02:36] <mastermixer> cbx33, heard of it lots of times, but i don't think i had given it a try.. i didn't like rythmbox though.
[02:36] <cbx33> amarok is nice

[02:36] <Phatrabbit|2> Ash do you know the actual path to the file
[02:36] <mastermixer> IdleOne, i'm gonna do it now, thanks for the attention.. if you happen to remember the name of a good application for that, please let me know of it
[02:36] <larson9999> been using gnome regularly for a month or so now.  got about 12 years of linux under my belt.  the question i have is, "why the heck is it so hard to configure anything in gnome?"
[02:37] <IdleOne> mastermixer, yup np
[02:37] <larson9999> s/anything/everything
[02:37] <Phatrabbit|2> its ok its /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:37] <xtknight> larson9999: probably because you haven't been using gnome for 12 years.  gnome!= linux :)
[02:37] <MsK`> hi
[02:37] <mackinac> mastermixer:  i think "audio tag tool" might be worth lookin at
[02:37] <ashaman> Phatrabbit : /etc/apt/
[02:37] <xtknight> larson9999: what specifically did you find difficult?
[02:38] <MsK`> does (k)ubuntu edgy cd has rt61 module ?
[02:38] <Frogzoo> larson9999: you don't say what your problem is
[02:38] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman:  how can i use apt-get to get that file
[02:38] <larson9999> xtknight: no, not gnome for 12 years straight.  but off and on.  but many desktops so i have a decent frame of reference.
[02:39] <xtknight> larson9999: i haven't had to mess around with gnome much, but in general i find the gnome desktop very easy to configure and use.  most dialogs are simple and straight-forward.  give me an example ?
[02:39] <ashaman> Phatrabbit : once you have the repo added do a sudo apt-get update
[02:39] <cbx33> larson9999, on that note
[02:39] <larson9999> xtknight: sure, i'll give some example
[02:39] <Phatrabbit|2> ta
[02:39] <ashaman> Phatrabbit : then sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[02:39] <cbx33> I wanted to change the taskbar panel font colour
[02:39] <cbx33> you can't do that
[02:40] <xtknight> cbx33: you probably can with a theme file
[02:40] <cbx33> can gnome and kde live side by side nicely?
[02:40] <ashaman> It will install the lastest drivers from the new repo
[02:40] <xtknight> cbx33: yes
[02:40] <HentaiSushi> lol
[02:40] <cbx33> xtknight, tried it.....but then I didn't spend muh time
[02:40] <xtknight> cbx33: i dont know of any other desktop that lets you change font color on the taskbar though.  does kde?
[02:40] <cbx33> no idea
[02:40] <cbx33> xtknight, but it is possible I know cos fedora do it
[02:40] <agliv5> Greetings all :) Is it possible to create 5 Partitions when installing Ubuntu 6.1?
[02:40] <xtknight> i dont think you can dock gnome for that
[02:40] <cbx33> xtknight, oh no
[02:40] <cbx33> I love gnome
[02:40] <cbx33> I develop all my apps for gnome
[02:40] <xtknight> cbx33: possible with fedora and gnome?
[02:41] <larson9999> xtknight: the icons on the desktop.  i'd like to change the size en masse, i only see a way to change the sizes one by one
[02:41] <cbx33> xtknight, yes
[02:41] <xtknight> cbx33: ah complain to ubuntu then ;P
[02:41] <cbx33> xtknight, heh
[02:41] <Kajin> Can I make an SSH connection with the Place > Connect to Server.. window and then delete it from my desktop while still having it under Places?
[02:41] <mackinac> you can tweek gnome a ton if you don't mind mucking through the theme xml
[02:41] <PoHxD> where can i find a mouse-driver for logitech mx518 (ubuntu linux)
[02:41] <xtknight> larson9999: alright.  hmm, lets see
[02:41] <cbx33> Kajin, I just turn my dsktop off
[02:41] <Watakach> unop, thx a lot i think its  work now !!!
[02:41] <cbx33> xtknight, is it just a case of.....apt-get install kde-desktop?
[02:41] <cbx33> sorry
[02:41] <Watakach> i had just to unmount and mount the disk.... THX A LOT
[02:41] <xtknight> cbx33: er im' not sure
[02:41] <cbx33> kubuntu-desktop
[02:41] <cbx33> heh
[02:42] <larson9999> xtknight: there is an option that restores them all to original size but not one to resize them all at once.  at least it's not in the same place.
[02:42] <PoHxD> where can i find a mouse-driver for logitech mx518 (ubuntu linux)
[02:42] <PoHxD> where can i find a mouse-driver for logitech mx518 (ubuntu linux)

[02:42] <dave1> hi, can anyone please tell me how to restart X in ubuntu 6.10 using bash, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart" doesnt work
[02:42] <cbx33> larson9999, is there not an option in the gconf editor?
[02:42] <xtknight> PoHxD: one's included
[02:42] <Frogzoo> PoHxD: you don't need a mouse driver
[02:42] <oddipoddi> anyone know if ubuntustudio is an OS by it self like kubuntu or is it an "expansion" to ubuntu?
[02:42] <PoHxD> it doesnt work :S
[02:42] <Watakach> unop, im gonna try it im gonna reboot ! thx again !
[02:42] <PoHxD> the muse isnt even turned on
[02:42] <Frogzoo> !mouse | PoHxD read the example mouse config
[02:42] <ubotu> PoHxD read the example mouse config: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[02:42] <xtknight> dave1: it should.  what happens when you type that command?
[02:43] <xtknight> dave1: is your X broken?
[02:43] <PoHxD> tnx
[02:43] <mastermixer> mackinac, "audio tag tool" seems to be a great app indeed, but doesn't have a package listed on synaptic
[02:43] <Watakach> unop, byebye
[02:43] <xtknight> larson9999: you're right on that one.  there is no dialog to customize icon size afaik
[02:43] <dave1> xtknight the screen goes black and a "_" prompt flashes at me
[02:43] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman: ok i done sudo apt-get update but it didnt download anything, so it proberly thinks i have the latest realease
[02:43] <matason> Anyone running PDT Eclipse on Ubuntu 6.06? It's really slow!!
[02:43] <xtknight> dave1: looks like your X is broken.  type 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and then 'sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart'
[02:43] <larson9999> xtknight: editing the start menu with the 'edit menus' dialog you get from right clicking the start button only says, "show" and "don't show"
[02:43] <mackinac> hmm, do you have universe and multiverse active?
[02:43] <matason> Almost unusable
[02:43] <oddipoddi> anyone know if ubuntustudio is an OS by it self like kubuntu or is it an "expansion" to ubuntu?
[02:44] <dave1> ctrl-alt-backspace works fine tho
[02:44] <xtknight> larson9999: double click a menu item to edit it
[02:44] <xtknight> larson9999: ( or right click, props )
[02:45] <mackinac> mastermixer: package name = tagtool ... sorry :)
[02:45] <xtknight> matason: is regular eclipse slow too?
[02:45] <larson9999> cbx33: maybe there is but why wouldn't be in the same menu as the 'restore all'?
[02:45] <babo> when i plug in my headphones, they don't work
[02:45] <cbx33> true
[02:45] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: you need to do a sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[02:45] <babo> my normal speaker sound works fine though
[02:45] <zyth> What's that DVD ripping program that comes with Kubuntu?
[02:45] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: then reboot
[02:45] <mastermixer> mackinac, installing it, thank you =)
[02:46] <Enselic``> zyth: K3B?
[02:46] <Phatrabbit|2> ahh thats what i needed
[02:46] <Phatrabbit|2> thanks
[02:46] <larson9999> xtknight: when i right click an item in the start menu there are only options to add it to different places.  no edit option.
[02:46] <dave1> xtknight, when i type ctrl-alt-backspace that restarts it fine tho?
[02:46] <zyth> k9 something
[02:46] <zyth> I think
[02:46] <xtknight> larson9999: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/misc/1060-there-icon-size-option-gnome-gui.html
[02:46] <xtknight> dave1: really?
[02:46] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman: how can i remove my old nvidia drivers
[02:46] <xtknight> dave1: kubuntu or ubuntu?
[02:46] <doojin> hi
[02:46] <Phatrabbit|2> so i can start fresh
[02:46] <dave1> xtknight, ubuntu 6.10
[02:46] <matason> xtknight: Hmm I don't fully understand it all, I wanted to work on PHP projects so I just downloaded PDT All in One - should I try some other version?
[02:46] <doojin> What seems to be the common difference between debian and ubuntu?
[02:46] <xtknight> dave1: i have no idea why it's not working
[02:46] <mackinac> mastermixer:  np
[02:46] <Enselic``> Is the notably better desktop performance with the 2.6.20 kernel a myth, or has anyone here experienced it?
[02:46] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: how did you install them
[02:46] <xtknight> matason: hmm.  well it looks like pdt is some plugin for eclipse?
[02:47] <xtknight> Enselic``: i am using 2.6.20
[02:47] <oddipoddi> anyone know if ubuntustudio is an OS by it self like kubuntu or is it an "expansion" to ubuntu????
[02:47] <matason> xtknight: Yes it provides the extras for working with PHP stuff
[02:47] <dave1> xtknight, wouldnt "/etc/init.d/gdm restart" restart gdm rather than X?
[02:47] <xtknight> Enselic``: i do notice faster startup, i think.  try applying the realtime/dyntick/tickless patches for 2.6.20 (i386 only) then you may see improved performance and battery life
[02:47] <xtknight> dave1: restarting gdm should restart X
[02:47] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: If you used apt-get then it will update them
[02:48] <dave1> xtknight, is that what the ctrl-alt-backspace command does?
[02:48] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: but before you reboot run sudo nvidia-xconfig
[02:48] <koregaonpark> Hey. I'm installing Windows on my secondary (slave) hard disk. I've erased it and am attempting to install, but the Windows setup says that I must delete my Ubuntu partition because the setup needs to write some files to the primary disk.
[02:48] <xtknight> dave1: that restarts Xorg itself actually
[02:48] <Meltdown79> guys, anyone of you got Dreamweaver mx 2004 to work in ubuntu 6.10? I have been following guides ect but its not working. =)
[02:48] <Enselic``> xtknight: is there a central place for kernel patches?
[02:48] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman: using sudo dpkg -i package_file.deb
[02:48] <Enselic``> xtknight: like that one
[02:48] <xtknight> dave1: i guess to restart Xorg itself you can do 'sudo killall X'
[02:49] <xtknight> Enselic``: not really, but i can get you the link for that one i was talking about
[02:49] <oddipoddi> does adobe products work on ubuntu?
[02:49] <Enselic``> dave1: pkill gdm && sudo gdm start
[02:49] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman: can i use envy if i used sudo dpkg -i package_file.deb
[02:49] <aatdark> oddipoddi probply with wine .
[02:49] <larson9999> xtknight: yes, i saw that post before.  so, how do you get to desktop preferencse?  i go to system->settings-> but there is no desktop preferences.  only desktop background.
[02:49] <xtknight> Enselic``: http://www.tglx.de/projects/hrtimers/2.6.20/   apply with 'bzcat ../asdf.bz2 | patch -p1' to /usr/src/linux/  kernel tree
[02:49] <xtknight> Enselic``: and 'sudo -s -H' before that since it requires root to modify /usr/src/*
[02:49] <dave1> xtknight, how do i restart it after killing it?
[02:50] <xtknight> dave1: usuaully X restarts on its own
[02:50] <Enselic``> xtknight: I've arleady started to compile, but Ill consider it next release ;)
[02:50] <Enselic``> xtknight: how come its not part of the vanilla kernel?
[02:50] <dave1> ok thx, will try that
[02:50] <xtknight> dave1: obviously your X is broken if gdm restart and killall X doesn't work, what's the log say?
[02:50] <koregaonpark> Can anyone please help?
[02:50] <xtknight> Enselic``: it will be in 2.6.21.  it's just slightly beta atm and ports to amd64/arm are still in the works so it can't be merged to the multi-arch tree
[02:51] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: dpkg -r package.deb will remove it
[02:51] <stork> is it possible to stop one x screen and leave the other running?
[02:51] <xtknight> larson9999: not sure, really
[02:51] <ashaman> Phatrabbit I don't use envy
[02:51] <xtknight> stork: yes just kill that particular X that is pointing to :DESKTOP
[02:51] <Phatrabbit|2> awsome thanks
[02:52] <stork> xtknight, sorry, what? you lost me
[02:52] <koregaonpark> Hey. I'm installing Windows on my secondary (slave) hard disk. I've erased it and am attempting to install, but the Windows setup says that I must delete my Ubuntu partition because the setup needs to write some files to the primary disk.
[02:52] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: np
[02:52] <Koenh> Hello, anyone who knows if Kubuntu already folows the new DST for America?
[02:52] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: hope you get it
[02:52] <stork> xtknight, i have dual monitors configured, is it possible to turn one off with the command line? i.e. screen 1 but not screen 0
[02:52] <xtknight> larson9999: edit->preferences in nautilus
[02:52] <zyth> when does daylight savings time start?
[02:52] <Phatrabbit|2> lol
[02:52] <Sodan> hello everbody
[02:52] <xtknight> stork: maybe 'xrandr'
[02:52] <larson9999> xtknight: so if you click on an item in the start menu and right click on it, say gparted, you get an option to edit it?
[02:53] <Sodan> i need some help with the installation of ubuntu 6.10
[02:53] <Frederick> folks my ubuntu file system is corrupted is there any winows applycation I can use to acess my data and try to save at least something?
[02:53] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: How long have you been using ubuntu
[02:53] <xtknight> larson9999: nah, just 'add this launcher to start menu' or something
[02:53] <Sodan> cause my sata-controller suxx
[02:53] <koregaonpark> Sodan, yes?
[02:53] <Phatrabbit|2> for about a week now
[02:53] <xtknight> larson9999: the menu editor for gnome is great tho, so that's not really an issue imo
[02:53] <koregaonpark> Sodan, oh sorry... I have no idea about sata-controllers.
[02:53] <xtknight> larson9999: i think it perevents accidental context menu selection by n00bs
[02:54] <Koenh> zyth: normally they are changed begin of 2007...
[02:54] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: once you get the hang of repos you will like it
[02:54] <Phatrabbit|2> im half way through reading the online ubuntu how to, its just i forget alot of commands
[02:54] <sidjster> whats the matter with youi sata ?
[02:54] <Koenh> but i have to know if they are already changed in kubuntu...
[02:54] <olioBeato`> i ALREADY like it !
[02:54] <desp> hi again
[02:54] <xtknight> stork: if you're using nvidia, nvidia-settings
[02:54] <larson9999> xtknight: so how do you get to the menu editor?
[02:54] <Phatrabbit|2> yer ive been trying to configure my xorg for 6 hours straight
[02:54] <xtknight> larson9999: right click the top menu bar and click edit menu
[02:54] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: I can understand that there is alot to learn
[02:54] <desp> I mad some changes and the host get down :(
[02:55] <Phatrabbit|2> i cant figure out why GLX wont load and i think it might be becuase i have the wrong drivers
[02:55] <desp> what should i check to fix the error
[02:55] <stork> xtknight, no way to switch it off without restarting X
[02:55] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6213/
[02:55] <xtknight> stork: hmm.  nvidia?
[02:55] <PoHxD> what is the program X :P
[02:55] <PoHxD> X
[02:55] <stork> xtknight, yeah
[02:55] <larson9999> xtknight: and then it opens a window entitled "Edit Menus"
[02:55] <xtknight> PoHxD: X is the desktop foundation, more commonly called Xorg (www.x.org)
[02:56] <Sodan> can anyone help us??? with have a problem with the installation of ubuntu 6.10 on a sata-hdd.
[02:56] <xtknight> larson9999: right.....
[02:56] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: if you are using the nv drivers then you will not get glx to work but the way i have shown you will get it up and running
[02:56] <PoHxD> ok, whats a deskop foundation, is it the same as GNOME?
[02:56] <xtknight> larson9999: can you do what you want from within there?
[02:56] <sidjster> whats the deal with the sata install?
[02:56] <xtknight> PoHxD: it's the underlying component that interfaces with the hardware to display 2d and 3d graphics.  gnome is a desktop environment
[02:56] <ashaman> just remember to run nvidia-xconfig
[02:56] <dave1> xtknight, killall X gives "X: no process killed"
[02:57] <PoHxD> ok, why is Xorg better that gnome?
[02:57] <PoHxD> feks gnome...
[02:57] <larson9999> xtknight: that is only letting me decide either to show or not show an item.  no way to add or edit the item as far as i can tell.
[02:57] <xtknight> dave1: what about 'startx' ?
[02:57] <sidjster> what do you mean xorg is better than gnome??
[02:57] <xtknight> PoHxD:  gnome uses Xorg
[02:57] <koregaonpark> Argh. Does no one know?
[02:57] <PoHxD> whats the difrence between Xorg and gnome :S  ?ok
[02:58] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman:  yer i hope this works, 6 hours straight and no luck is driving me nutters
[02:58] <xtknight> PoHxD: well, sort of, anyway.  gnome is run on top of xorg i should say
[02:58] <PoHxD> now i understand, :P
[02:58] <varkatope> larson9999: just rightclick
[02:58] <xtknight> PoHxD: as is kde and xfce..
[02:58] <PoHxD> mm
[02:58] <xtknight> larson9999: sorry, you must have missed my last msg.  double click or right click->properties
[02:58] <agliv5> I'm installing Ubuntu any was wondering if anyone would recommend or dissaprove of using the jfs datasystem?
[02:58] <ashaman> Phattrabbit: you will get it
[02:58] <xtknight> agliv5: i dont know.  instead of ext3 i'm not sure why you'd use it
[02:59] <xtknight> agliv5: less compatibility than the ubiquitous e2/e3fs
[02:59] <ashaman> koregaonpark: what do you need
[02:59] <Aldoliel> agliv5: Any particular reason you want to use jfs?
[02:59] <dave1> xtknight, it complains that X is already running, so i would need to stop X first, how would i do that?
[02:59] <larson9999> varkatope, xtknight: right click doesn't do anything.  double clicking either.
[02:59] <PoHxD> whats the best IRC program? im using GAIM at the moment, but i dont like it :P
[02:59] <xtknight> dave1: maybe your Xorg lock file is stuck, maybe that's the problem.
[02:59] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman:  sudo nvidia-xconfig enable
[02:59] <xtknight> dave1: does it say anything about a lock when you type startx?
[02:59] <xtknight> larson9999: ubuntu 6.10?
[03:00] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman:  isnt it sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[03:00] <agliv5> xtknight, Aldoliel, according to http://linuxgazette.net/122/TWDT.html#piszcz jfs and xts and jfs have the fastest benchmark results...
[03:00] <larson9999> xtknight: yeah
[03:00] <Frogzoo> xtknight: really depends what you're looking for in an irc client
[03:00] <xtknight> Frogzoo: PoHxD actually
[03:00] <ashaman> Phatrabbit: yea
[03:00] <xtknight> larson9999: and you're using the "alacarte" menu editor?  check with "ps ax | grep alacarte"
[03:01] <xtknight> agliv5: well xfs is supposed to be pretty good
[03:01] <larson9999> xtknight: 4239 pts/1    R+     0:00 grep alacarte
[03:01] <larson9999> jason@jasonntu:~$ ps ax | grep cart
[03:01] <larson9999> 14249 pts/1    R+     0:00 grep cart
[03:01] <dave1> xtknight, i pm'ed u the output
[03:02] <xtknight> larson9999: goto applications->accessibility in the menu editor for example.  then double click 'onscreen keyboard'  you dont see edit options?
[03:02] <xtknight> dave1: i didn't get a pm
[03:02] <xtknight> dave1: pastebin it if all else fails
[03:02] <dave1> ?
[03:02] <xtknight> dave1: make sure you have a registered nick or you can't pm people on this irc network, i think
[03:03] <agliv5> xtknight, so would you suggest xfs over jfs?
[03:03] <dave1> how do i do that?
[03:03] <xtknight> agliv5: yeah, i'm pretty sure xfs has a more solid foundation.  i used it myself for a while and it seemed faster for big files iirc
[03:03] <xtknight> dave1: /msg nickserv register
[03:03] <xtknight> agliv5: i dont know about that.  he says it's taking hours to mount a file system.
[03:04] <larson9999> xtknight: i get an error message could not launch /usr/bin/gok
[03:04] <xtknight> agliv5: that's just plain wrong
[03:04] <dave1>  /msg NickServ HELP REGISTER
[03:04] <anchovy> why i cant find the touchpad device in the xorg.conf?
[03:04] <xtknight> larson9999: where did the error come from?
[03:05] <xtknight> anchovy: it's probably called "synaptics" or it's just recognized as a regular mouse?
[03:05] <larson9999> when i clicked on-screen keyboard
[03:05] <xtknight> larson9999: hmm i have no idea.  maybe your gnome is borked
[03:06] <davetheunclean> xtknight, i tried to pm u again
[03:06] <Phatrabbit|2> ok ashaman u there mate
[03:06] <anchovy> i also can not find the synaptics, i am not sure if it is recognized as a regular mouse.
[03:07] <agliv5> xtknight, which test are you refering to?
[03:07] <xtknight> anchovy: do you need to edit the mouse config for a particular reason?
[03:07] <xtknight> agliv5: the one you linked http://linuxgazette.net/122/TWDT.html#piszcz
[03:07] <Frogzoo> anchovy: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:07] <ashaman> Phatrabbit i sure am
[03:07] <larson9999> xtknight: perhaps.  this is an OLD file system but i cleaned out all the proper directories. i'll check it out on a fresh install on another machine.
[03:08] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman: ok i done sudo nvidia-glx-config enable and then i got the error Error: your X configuration has been altered.
[03:08] <jpoeta> HoW CAN I INSTALL A dOC?
[03:08] <Phatrabbit|2> This script cannot proceed automatically. If you believe that this
[03:08] <Phatrabbit|2> not correct, you can update the md5sum entry executing the following
[03:08] <Phatrabbit|2> command:
[03:08] <Phatrabbit|2> md5sum /etc/X11/xorg.conf | sudo tee /var/lib/x11/xorg.conf.md5sum
[03:08] <Phatrabbit|2> otherwise edit manually /etc/X11/xorg.conf to change the Driver section
[03:08] <chx> I have a series of numbers and I would like to get a function that fits them best . To my eyes it looks exponential, but... how could I do this? I have the numbers entered into gnumeric.
[03:08] <Phatrabbit|2> from nv to nvidia.
[03:08] <jpoeta> LIKE A MAC?
[03:08] <jpoeta> dock
[03:09] <xtknight> Phatrabbit|2: just do that md5sum command it tells you but please don't paste >3 lines at a time here (use !pastebin)
[03:09] <Phatrabbit|2> but it seems that my xorg.conf does not update at all
[03:09] <Trunkz> Errm.. something is making my CPU go on practically 100%.. how do I close the running app(s) which are causing this.. I dont know which apps are causing this btw
[03:09] <Phatrabbit|2> sorry xtknight
[03:09] <xtknight> Trunkz: type 'top' in the terminal
[03:09] <Chousuke> Trunkz: run top in terminal
[03:09] <agliv5> xtknight, yes, but which specfic benchmark test are you refering to?
[03:09] <Trunkz> lol thx
[03:09] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman: can you check your pm mate
[03:09] <Trunkz> mythbackend
[03:09] <Trunkz> o.o
[03:09] <Chousuke> then use kill to kill the process.
[03:09] <infidel> Frogzoo, where can i find a list of commands that are common to configuring the system?
[03:09] <Trunkz> Lemme go remove myth actually
[03:09] <xtknight> agliv5: 'filesystem mount time' and below the graph he says 'reiserfs takes a VERY long time...
[03:09] <Chousuke> you need the process id.
[03:10] <TRouBLe_FeTe>  yo
[03:10] <TRouBLe_FeTe>  y'a du monde ?
[03:10] <xtknight> !fr | TRouBLe_FeTe
[03:10] <ubotu> TRouBLe_FeTe: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[03:10] <ashaman> Phattrabbit: i guess private messages are not going through
[03:10] <TRouBLe_FeTe>  ubotu thx
[03:10] <larson9999> xtknight: alacarte isn't installed.  i'm installing it now.
[03:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about thx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:10] <xtknight> ashaman, Phatrabbit|2 register your nicknames to get private msgs
[03:10] <Phatrabbit|2> ashaman:  its ok i think it worked brb i am gonna try it !
[03:11] <Trunkz> Chousuke: Err.. my audio is sorta playing in like a slow-mode stutering
[03:11] <Aldoliel> jpoeta: I believe Gnome can do what you ask, I h no idea how the dock works on a mac though
[03:11] <Chousuke> Trunkz: weird.
[03:11] <Trunkz> yeah.. how can I restart the audio server
[03:11] <Trunkz> daemon* rather
[03:11] <Trunkz> maybe that'd fix it
[03:11] <Chousuke> hmm
[03:11] <Trunkz> I think.. I'm using alsa
[03:12] <jpoeta> YES BUT I WANT TO ENCHULAR MI PC
[03:12] <jpoeta> MAKE MORE NICE
[03:12] <agliv5> xtknight, the time is in sec on the graphic and I'm not qualified to comment on his statement about RAID volumes... what's a RAID volume and why should I care?
[03:12] <Chousuke> jpoeta: don't use caps
[03:12] <Trunkz> nvm.. fixed it, something is wrong with alsa tho xD (I had to transfer it to oss)
[03:12] <Aldoliel> jpoeta: Less caps please?
[03:12] <jpoeta> ok
[03:12] <Frogzoo> !docs | infidel
[03:12] <Aldoliel> Thanks
[03:12] <ubotu> infidel: documentation is to be found at http://help.ubuntu.com and http://wiki.ubuntu.com - General linux documentation: http://www.tldp.org - http://rute.2038bug.com
[03:13] <Aldoliel> jpoeta: What do you want it to look like? A Mac?
[03:13] <xtknight> agliv5: i think his tests are bunk.  it takes me <1sec to mount a reiser volume
[03:13] <Trunkz> Well.. thats half my problems solved.. thanks u two ;p
[03:13] <Trunkz> I got a few more coming your way
[03:13] <Frk> org
[03:14] <jpoeta> yes
[03:14] <xtknight> agliv5: i suggest looking at some benchmarks from other sources as well
[03:14] <Zythion> Hello?
[03:14] <xtknight> !raid|agliv5
[03:14] <ubotu> agliv5: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RaidConfigurationHowto and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO
[03:14] <xtknight> agliv5: well RAID itself is just a way to mirror hard disks for backup, raid0 is actually a way to speedup disk access
[03:14] <xtknight> agliv5: but that doesnt cause long mount times
[03:14] <Trunkz> Firstly.. how do I set modprobe to automatically "modprobe <module>" with the relevant settings (basically.. during bootup, I assume the kernel sends a signl to modprobe to do modprobe saa7134.. I want it to do modprobe saa7134 card=59 tuner=1 basically.. :p)
[03:14] <AMD> what can i use to convert wma to mp3
[03:14] <Aldoliel> jpoeta: Something like this? : http://www.taimila.com/ubuntuosx.php
[03:15] <Trunkz> I think its in modprobe.conf, but not too sure where that is (it isnt in /etc/)
[03:15] <jpoeta> but i want to see in my desktop information about my pc but i don't know how
[03:15] <agliv5> xtknight, but you still think that xfs is good / beter than the others?
[03:15] <xtknight> agliv5: on some things.  there is no one, agnostic, BEST File system
[03:15] <larson9999> xtknight: well, alacarte is better.  more things are configurable and you can add items, etc.  but the main thing i was looking for, the ability to start the program with various parms isn't there like it is in menu editors in most of the other desktops i've used.  do i have to write a script just for that?
[03:15] <xtknight> Trunkz: probably /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
[03:15] <Amaranth> larson9999: with it with what?
[03:15] <Amaranth> larson9999: params?
[03:16] <xtknight> larson9999: just add the params to the end of the cmd line
[03:16] <larson9999> Amaranth: yeah
[03:16] <jpoeta> wait
[03:16] <Trunkz> xtknight: doesnt exist
[03:16] <Amaranth> larson9999: you mean `foo --bar=baz`?
[03:16] <infidel> Frogzoo, thanks
[03:16] <Aldoliel> jpoeta: Hmmm, I'm not sure how you would achieve that
[03:16] <jpoeta> yesssssssssssssssss
[03:16] <larson9999> Amaranth: yep
[03:16] <jpoeta> it's incredible
[03:17] <larson9999> xtknight: in alacarte i don't see a place to give it a custom command line
[03:17] <jpoeta> i love ubuntu system
[03:17] <kray> dito
[03:17] <Aldoliel> Glad to help
[03:17] <Amaranth> larson9999: err, edit the Command line?
[03:17] <xtknight> Trunkz: sorry, what version of ubuntu?
[03:17] <Trunkz> edgy
[03:17] <Trunkz> 6.10 I beliv
[03:18] <xtknight> Trunkz: type "locate tools/modules"
[03:18] <jpoeta> but how
[03:18] <Trunkz> okeh :o
[03:18] <jpoeta> ?
[03:18] <xtknight> jpoeta: but how to do what?
[03:18] <jpoeta> how install
[03:18] <xtknight> !install | jpoeta
[03:18] <jpoeta> really i a noob
[03:18] <ubotu> jpoeta: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[03:18] <Trunkz> meh not much luck
[03:18] <xtknight> Trunkz: nothing returned?
[03:19] <jpoeta> sorry thanks
[03:19] <larson9999> Amaranth, xtknight ok. it's popping up now.  at first the command line wasn't there.  no it is right where you'd expect
[03:19] <Trunkz> no, it gives out some things which dont exist apparently
[03:19] <jpoeta> oh
[03:19] <jpoeta> anothe question
[03:19] <Trunkz> I did a locate modprobe.conf
[03:19] <Quilby> !gmail
[03:19] <ubotu> gmail is a webmail service. For information on using it with Evolution see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingGmailWithEvolution
[03:19] <jpoeta> well i have a VIA UniChrome
[03:19] <Trunkz> didnt bring back the correct one either
[03:19] <jpoeta> and i can't have beryl
[03:20] <xtknight> Trunkz: odd.  what about /usr/share/initramfs-tools/modules ?
[03:20] <jokoon> I can I access the windows registry ?
[03:20] <jokoon> how ?
[03:20] <Quilby> is there any program that i can use to upload files to gmail, and use it as another hard drive?
[03:20] <xtknight> jokoon: with ubuntu? not in any easy way
[03:20] <jpoeta> o don't know how make beryl works
[03:20] <larson9999> Amaranth, xtknight ok. there was only name and comment.  no command. ran it again and command was there.  that's one off the list.
[03:20] <xtknight> jpoeta: beryl can not work with your card.  but ubuntu does not have beryl by default
[03:20] <Trunkz> xtknight: thats not a directory
[03:20] <Aldoliel> jpoeta: I don't think you can have beryl with that card
[03:20] <LjL> jokoon, access your Windows registry from Ubuntu? even if it's somehow possible, it doesn't sound like a good idea to me
[03:21] <xtknight> Trunkz: it's a file
[03:21] <Amaranth> larson9999: you were editing a menu then, not a menu item :)
[03:21] <jpoeta> nooooooooo
[03:21] <rojo^> anyone running two nvidia cards SLI?  Whenever I try enabling SLI (Option "SLI" "Auto" in Section "Device"), X freezes the console and never launches; can't ctrl-alt-F[1-6] .   How do I turn off the "tap-to-click" feature of my laptop touchpad?
[03:21] <Trunkz> Okey
[03:21] <blackest> help I need live cd to boot into 800 by 600 any ideas
[03:21] <jokoon> LjL forget that, I was trying to piss someone about windows to get banned.
[03:21] <jokoon> sorry
[03:21] <Trunkz> but that still wont solve my problem I dont think
[03:21] <jpoeta> but if i buy a NVIDIA Card
[03:21] <LjL> jokoon: ... uh?
[03:21] <jpoeta> ?
[03:21] <Trunkz> since the kernel still will do saa7134 on its own (without the other parameters such as card=59 and tuner=1)
[03:22] <ElbridgeGerry> jokoon: Eh?
[03:22] <Trunkz> which.. will defeat the whole purpose xD
[03:22] <xtknight> jpoeta: yes any modern nvidia card can run beryl
[03:22] <shapras> :-)
[03:22] <rojo^> blackest: you can hit ctrl-alt-minus or ctrl-alt-plus to change desktop resolution
[03:22] <blackest> rojo i tried and it didnt respond
[03:22] <jpoeta> fantASTIC
[03:22] <Trunkz> My next question, will be beryl oriented.. so good luck figurin that one out xD
[03:22] <muuhDBX> whats the linux defrag tool ?
[03:22] <jpoeta> thank you very much
[03:22] <xtknight> Trunkz: there's no reason you should be missing the "modules" file
[03:22] <Trunkz> muuhDBX, you dont really need to defrag linux
[03:22] <muuhDBX> yes i do
[03:23] <Trunkz> as the partition resists fragmentation
[03:23] <jpoeta> see you later master ALDOIEL
[03:23] <LjL> muuhDBX: "defrag". it's been unmaintained for ages, though, and anyway ext3 is quite resilient to fragmentation
[03:23] <Trunkz> Or.. so I was told
[03:23] <muuhDBX> i do alot of files delete and write
[03:23] <Daverocks> muuhDBX: you don't need to defrag ext3
[03:23] <Daverocks> muuhDBX: that doesn't matter. ext3 is designed to not fragment
[03:23] <larson9999> Amaranth: no same item.  the space where command goes was there but just empty.  if you edit a menu there is no space for command.  think the display was borked somehow.  but it's fine now.
[03:23] <Trunkz> lol.. I actually know something xD l33t or what =D
[03:23] <xtknight> muuhDBX: xfs_fsr (file system repait) can defrag XFS
[03:23] <ardchoille> muuhDBX: You don't need to worry about defrag in Linux
[03:23] <jokoon> Is an athlon 2200+ 512mb of ram and a gfti4200 going to make beryl stuff run smoothly ?
[03:23] <xtknight> muuhDBX: i believe ext2/ext3 filesystems have a tuning option.  but defrag isn't needed nearly as much with linux
[03:23] <muuhDBX> ive noticably geting an increase in disk lag
[03:24] <Trunkz> jokoon: not too sure about.. that gfx card
[03:24] <Trunkz> what geforce is it specifically? Gf4?
[03:24] <Aldoliel> jpoeta: No worries :-)
[03:24] <ElbridgeGerry> !synaptics touch pad
[03:24] <__Ace2016__> Well whenever i've run bittorrent i've had majour fragmentation
[03:24] <jokoon> yes the 4th generation of nv cards
[03:24] <Trunkz> ahh k
[03:24] <__Ace2016__> so ext3 needs a defrag tool
[03:24] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: how did you read fragmentation levels?
[03:24] <Trunkz> err.. well, u can try it.. It * shud * work, altho not with all the bells 'n' whistles
[03:24] <jokoon> after gf3 and before the 5k series
[03:24] <Daverocks> muuhDBX: you could use fsck
[03:25] <Frogzoo> muuhDBX: by default, ext sets aside 5% of disk for managing defrags, so you need never defrag yourself
[03:25] <LjL> Daverocks, Trunkz: sorry to contradict, but "ext3 does not fragment" and such are false statements. ext3 simply employs some quite effective tricks to reduce fragmentation, but in the end it fragments like any other filesystem.
[03:25] <__Ace2016__> xtknight: i read it based on what my hard disks sound like when using the downloaded files
[03:25] <Daverocks> LjL: alright, sorry. :P
[03:25] <Trunkz> LjL: same :p
[03:25] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: that does not indicate fragmentation, it could be hitting the page file instead of cache
[03:25] <dave1> xtknight, that seems to restart X but doesnt restart gdm aswell :(
[03:25] <Aldoliel> __Ace2016__: The sound your disks make don't relate to fragmentation.....
[03:26] <Trunkz> * gasp * :O
[03:26] <larson9999> xtknight: now alacarte runs when i do 'edit menus'  aparently, this used to be a real problem in gnome as i found an article dated 9/2006 with the headline "Alacarte: GNOME's long overdue menu editor"
[03:26] <Trunkz> Its.. an OP O_O.. run damnit
[03:26] <Daverocks> muuhDBX: specifically, fsck.ext3 would help you
[03:26] <__Ace2016__> Aldoliel: 10gb of files downloaded in random order means a lot of seeks
[03:26] <Trunkz> (btw.. why is the user-list somewhat non-existant in xchat?)
[03:26] <jokoon> oops I left
[03:26] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: in that case you can tune your VM.  set vm.swappiness to 100 to make reducing cache a last resort?
[03:26] <muuhDBX> isnt fsck just a like file system checker ?
[03:26] <muuhDBX> it dosent defrag anything
[03:26] <LjL> muuhDBX: yes
[03:26] <Daverocks> muuhDBX: it fixes as well
[03:26] <LjL> muuhDBX: correct
[03:26] <muuhDBX> it dosent defrag anything
[03:27] <ElbridgeGerry> muuhDBX: It does.
[03:27] <__Ace2016__> xtknight: i don't use a swap file
[03:27] <DangerDawg> mornin
[03:27] <LjL> ElbridgeGerry: since when?
[03:27] <xtknight> larson9999: hmm
[03:27] <Daverocks> i don't know about defragging, but it does fix something. like repairing bad blocks and stuff
[03:27] <__Ace2016__> xtknight: they are just tv episodes in a massive torrent thats all
[03:27] <balzac> hello. I want to upgrade from breezy badger to edgy eft
[03:27] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: odd.  what filesystem?
[03:27] <balzac> i don't want to bother with burning a CD
[03:27] <LjL> balzac: you need to go through dapper drake
[03:27] <ElbridgeGerry> LjL: Since I started listening to daverocks. =p
[03:27] <xtknight> Daverocks: defragging does not fix bad blocks (format does that)
[03:27] <__Ace2016__> xtknight: it used to be xfs and then ext3
[03:28] <ardchoille> balzac: You can't upgrade directly, you'll have to go to Dapper, and then to Edgy.
[03:28] <adaptr> Daverocks: fsck does not repair bad blocks as a rule
[03:28] <__Ace2016__> but xfs had the nice defrag tool
[03:28] <Aldoliel> __Ace2016__: You aren't using swap?
[03:28] <balzac> LjL, can you tell me the command?
[03:28] <xtknight> Daverocks: defragging moves discontiguous blocks of a file to one big contiguous blob so that the hd doens't have to seek all over the place
[03:28] <LjL> !upgrade > balzac    (balzac, see the private message from Ubotu)
[03:28] <balzac> thanks
[03:28] <__Ace2016__> Aldoliel: nope
[03:28] <Daverocks> ok ok.
[03:28] <Daverocks> i'm learning a lot lol
[03:28] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: i think i may have experienced the same fragfmentation with huge files (like vmware images), and that's when i started using xfs ;)  i can't remember the linux cmd to check fragmentation
[03:28] <Aldoliel> __Ace2016__: That's strange...
[03:28] <phatrabbit> ashaman_: u there mate
[03:28] <dave1> hi, does anyone what code the ctrlaltbackspace shortcut executes?
[03:29] <Quilby> what program can i use to transfer my files to gmail?
[03:29] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: i think the statement applies to MOST people, but certainly not everybody.  ext3 CAN fragment
[03:29] <Psy> hey guys
[03:29] <__Ace2016__> Aldoliel: why? i have 1.25gb of ram and the swap was never used so i got rid of it
[03:29] <xtknight> and i've had ext3 files in 700 segments
[03:29] <ashaman_> sure
[03:29] <xtknight> vs. xfs with one segment
[03:29] <jokoon> Btw when I see a beryl video most of the time it is a spinning cube, so it generally allows only 2 sides to be seen. Isn't there some version of beryl or else where you can see your windows like if you are in a sphere or IN a cube, all that with an increased FOV ?
[03:29] <balzac> i installed easyubuntu but i never got it to work. can i still upgrade?
[03:29] <MarcM> davel - ctrlaltbackspace will restart X
[03:29] <muuhDBX> do you need a WEP WAP if you are going to use wirlees over ssh ?
[03:29] <__Ace2016__> xtknight: how do you know it was in 700 segments? is there a checking app?
[03:29] <Quilby> ok

[03:30] <balzac> i installed easyubuntu but i never got it to work. can i still upgrade or did it destroy my installation?
[03:30] <ElbridgeGerry> Trunkz: You may have more of a chance getting an answer in x-chat's irc channel. ;)
[03:30] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: i think it was called 'extents' but maybe it was only an xfs utility
[03:30] <ardchoille> Psy: You can boot into recovery mode, that'll give you a root shell.
[03:30] <Psy> thanks ardchoille
[03:30] <Trunkz> which I assume.. is #xchat? :P
[03:30] <ashaman_> phatrabbit: do you have your nick registered
[03:31] <Psy> i presume its int he boot menu somewhere?
[03:31] <phatrabbit> ashaman_:  nope
[03:31] <xtknight> __Ace2016__: actually it's 'filefrag'

[03:31] <Aldoliel> Psy: hit escape on boot should bring up the list, it's normally the second entry
[03:31] <ardchoille> Psy: Press the ESC key during boot and you'll get a grub menu. You can choose recovery from that.
[03:31] <ashaman_> phatrabbit: ok you have to be registered for pm's
[03:32] <Psy> cool, thanks :)
