[09:06] <Alexiel> Is there any reason why i wouldn't be able to access the files on partitions ubuntu mounts in /media? I can see them all but i can't manipulate them at all. I need unrestricted access
[09:06] <biberao> having problems to set xgl on dapper could anyone help pls?
[09:06] <_jason> Alexiel: what filesystem?
[09:07] <NigelS> sfar_win: ok root dir I meant by that the root dir in your current tree - e.g. the one you get from the disc you booted off.  When you mount your HD root partition you want to trick it as it were into thinking that that is your root dir - then when you run grub-install it will reference the current menu.lst on disk if you see what I mean? an alternative would be to run grub-install with the --root-directory option which is listed in the man file
[09:07] <Alexiel> ext3
[09:07] <Alexiel> _jason
[09:07] <_jason> Alexiel: change the permissions
[09:07] <Alexiel> sorry, forgot to prefix
[09:07] <_jason> Alexiel: using chown and/or chmod
[09:07] <_jason> Alexiel: if you want unrestricted access: chmod 777 /media/foo
[09:07] <robinl1111> Hi
[09:08] <Alexiel> _jason thanks
[09:08] <_jason> Alexiel: np, you'll probably need to use sudo too
[09:08] <Alexiel> got it
[09:08] <sfar_win> NigelS: I understand.. Will "chroot" automatically change root dir to the mounted root? or will i have to do "chroot /dev/hda1" or something?
[09:08] <NigelS> TheFaction20: right, the message log implies it should - try /dev/sdc2 please :) if that doesn't work try fdisk /dev/sdc and see what the layout is
[09:08] <BlueOrange> NigelS: you said a "segmentation error: was a bug in the program.  i was thinking it just ment i made a mistake in entering the syntax, like putting in extra spaces, no ?
[09:09] <NigelS> TheFaction20: oh, or cat /proc/partitions should list them iirc
[09:10] <duelboot> i get the following error when I log on "insmod: can't read <snip> vesafb.ko...I understand it's cause I have ATI...how do I stop it from trying to find it?
[09:10] <NigelS> sfar_win: you have to specify the directory in the tree, so not the device node
[09:11] <duelboot> can anyone help? ^^^^^
[09:11] <NigelS> BlueOrange: yeah, it is an error in the program though one possible source of the error (e.g. that provokes the bug) is unanticipated user input on the part of the programmer (and bad programming) other possbilities include the use of a binary on a system with different versions of libraries to the intended ones. it means it tried to access memory that it was not entitled to and the kernel stepped in to stop it
[09:11] <sfar_win> NigelS: Ok i will try.. thank you for being helpful
[09:11] <danny_osl> excuse me, what package do I need to reinstall to provide alsa sound modules?
[09:11] <themachine> fixed the problem for ftp. permissions in the directory must be read-only even for root for the server to work
[09:11] <TheFaction20> NigelS: neither worked, when i did "fdisk /dev/sdc" it said unable to open /dev/sdc
[09:11] <NigelS> sfar_win: as I say, just run grub with that switch if you're more comfortable
[09:12] <themachine> I mean the vsftpd server*
[09:12] <biberao> help :\
[09:12] <NigelS> TheFaction20: that's odd - the messages implied it detected the drive and gave it the name sdc
[09:12] <TheFaction20> NigelS: i then did the cat /proc/partitions and idk what to do from here
[09:13] <Alexiel> _jason sorry to bother you again, but that command doesn't work even with sudo. I get a lock icon on all files, but when i have nautilus open with sudo i can access them. apparently it's already 777
[09:13] <BlueOrange> NigelS: ah, ok interesting.  OMG! it worked ! ur right. i guess u were able to decipjer from the syntax that it was either or and not both. ineresting though that the program seemed to accept me selecting both outputs. well when i did just the tv it actually worked! i was then able to switch back to the lcd !!!
[09:13] <_jason> Alexiel: well that command only gives you access to the main folder
[09:13] <Alexiel> _jason is there a command to set all files and fiolders underneath that?
[09:13] <Alexiel> *folders
[09:14] <_jason> Alexiel: yes, but you generally don't want everything to have 777 permissions.  For example, a text file shouldn't be readable
[09:14] <ubuntu> hey is this suitable chanel for a lame newbe question ? ;]
[09:15] <_jason> ubuntu: perfect place for it
[09:15] <ompaul> !ask

[09:15] <ubuntu> so
[09:15] <ompaul> !enter
[09:15] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[09:15] <ubuntu> a classical problem on ubuntu 5.10 with root account
[09:15] <BlueOrange> NigelS: OH! it would be SOOO much better if i could have both output on at the same time.  I wish i tired this when i still had windows installed to see if it would work.  so does it seem like this should be a hardware limitation? or maybe under windows i could have both outputs wokring at the same time? its odd that it was able to output SOMETHING to both outputs but then the tv was garbage .
[09:15] <ompaul> ubuntu, put it all on one line
[09:15] <_jason> Alexiel: I am going to eat, there is something you can do using ``find'' to change only directories and only files.  Someone else can probably show you how.  I'll be back in about 10 minutes
[09:15] <ompaul> ubuntu you using the live CD ?

[09:15] <graveson> how do i mount an ntfs partition under linux
[09:15] <ompaul> !tell ubuntu about root
[09:15] <Alexiel> thanks
[09:16] <ompaul> !tell graveson about ntfs
[09:16] <ompaul> graveson, please read the message from the bot
[09:16] <duelboot> i get the following error when I log on "insmod: can't read <snip> vesafb.ko...I understand it's cause I have ATI...how do I stop it from trying to find it?
[09:16] <BlueOrange> NigelS: is there a way i can automate this so i can easily toggle between tv and lcd? preferable right from my desktop without having to manual open a terminal window etc ?
[09:16] <NigelS> BlueOrange: yeah, one possibility is that it was forcing the tv to have the same refresh rates as the lcd - which of course is way off - you might want to search for help on the card/software and also the ubuntu wiki with the term "twin head" as I've never personally set that up myself " :)
[09:16] <ubuntu> ok, so i accidentaly chmoded /etc to 700 so i can't sudo and it's impossible to boot system
[09:17] <Ribs> ubuntu: You should be able to boot into single user mode
[09:17] <BlueOrange> NigelS: right that is probably it. ill keep digging ! :)
[09:17] <NigelS> graveson: mount -t ntfs - or use the disk guide program
[09:17] <caike> Folks.. my apache2 isn't working and ALSO I get no answering from pinging myself (<IP_ADDRESS>) ... does one thing have to do with the other ?
[09:17] <NigelS> TheFaction20: any luck?
[09:17] <_jason> Alexiel: do you have more than one user that needs to access the drive?  it may be easier to just chown everything
[09:17] <ubuntu> i can boot system in rescue mode, but it prompts for root passwd
[09:17] <graveson> NigelS:what is the disk guide problem
[09:17] <Alexiel> _jason it's a media server, so i need everyone to be able to read it
[09:17] <tamale> anyone know how much about the windows extfs driver?  I just installed it but the partition is coming up empty

[09:18] <Seveas> !xgl
[09:18] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/XglHowto - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems. It works ONLY on dapper. Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/
[09:18] <_jason> ubuntu: boot with a livecd and follow instructions on !sudo for disabling root

[09:18] <Ribs> great minds think alike :>
[09:18] <TheFaction20> NigelS:i dont know what to do with the cat /proc/partitions
[09:18] <ompaul> biberao, go to channel #ubuntu+1 they know more about it
[09:18] <TheFaction20> NigelS:like after i input it
[09:18] <NigelS> TheFaction20: oh, what does it say?
[09:18] <eggzeck> caike, that's not enough information :) , is apache2 running?
[09:19] <eggzeck> check the processes
[09:19] <caike> eggzeck, yes it is...
[09:19] <TheFaction20> NigelS: how can i send it with out flooding?
[09:19] <NigelS> graveson: if you go to the admin menu (iirc) there's a disk management app which can mount your drives if you like
[09:19] <caike> eggzeck, I have installed apache2 many times this way, and it worked.. but right now it isn't.. when I try to access localhost through firefox, it somes out
[09:19] <_jason> Alexiel: ok here, this will affect all the directories (remember, you must cd /media/foo first).  find . -type d -exec sudo chmod 777 '{}' \;             you may want to change the chmod to echo first just so you make sure it works right
[09:19] <caike> eggzeck, it 'times out'

[09:19] <ruffy543> hey all
[09:20] <Alexiel> _jason thanks, and thanks for your patience too :)
[09:20] <Seveas> yohan, stop repeating
[09:20] <ompaul> yohan, your spamming the channel if someone knew they might answer
[09:20] <yohan> sorry...
[09:20] <ruffy543> i reccently re-installed ubuntu.  and am having trouble geting xserver to work.  i fixed the problem before but i forgot how.  could anyone be of assistance?
[09:21] <_jason> Alexiel: we have to do files next, that would be 'find . -type f -exec sudo chmod 666 '{}' \;              that would give everyone read and write permissions to all the files.  If you want them to just be able to read them, you would use 444
[09:21] <NigelS> yohan: looks like you missed an option in your custom kernel - you have the neccesary SCSI modules for that HD / SATA modules if that's what it is?
[09:21] <_jason> Alexiel: ignore the initial ' before find
[09:21] <TheFaction20> NigelS:its thhere
[09:22] <graveson> is it safe or recommended to use an ntfs partition under linux.the reason being is that i have a maxtor drive that is only supported by windows and it looks like it has some windows sectors i cannot get rid of with cfdisk or fdisk
[09:22] <Alexiel> _jason that's excellent, i'll give that a go
[09:22] <NigelS> TheFaction20: you have to tell me the link :P
[09:22] <eggzeck> caike, try restarting it
[09:22] <yohan> NigelS: yeah ive understood that, but im not sure which module i need for SATA? There is an SATA module that i have not included but it says its deprected
[09:22] <_jason> Alexiel: please remember to cd to the right directory first or you will screw stuff up :)
[09:22] <Alexiel> _jason: don't worry, i will
[09:22] <NigelS> yohan: yeah, dont use that one, use the one in the other secion and the one you need depends on your SATA controller
[09:22] <TheFaction20> NigelS:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10853
[09:22] <ruffy543> no one can help me?
[09:23] <caike> eggzeck, I have.. many times... it still doesn't work
[09:23] <yohan> NigelS: is it under file systems?
[09:23] <NigelS> graveson: you can read, but not write, it's perfectly safe to read
[09:23] <geppy> I've tried `mount -o remount,ro /`, but it errors out, saying that "/ is busy".  I'm well aware of that; is there a way for me to force the remount read-only?
[09:23] <caike> eggzeck, I get no reply from pinging localhost also
[09:23] <purple^haze> does anybody know see through terminal/console name
[09:23] <yohan> NigelS: how may i find out?
[09:23] <_jason> purple^haze: what do you mean?
[09:23] <ruffy543> am i even voiced?
[09:23] <_jason> ruffy543: you are
[09:23] <tonyyarusso> ruffy543: Yes.
[09:23] <ruffy543> lol
[09:23] <ruffy543> good
[09:23] <ruffy543> so i take it no one knows how?
[09:23] <graveson> nigels : that is the problem ,i need this disk for my linux system i do not care about windows
[09:23] <NigelS> yohan: have a look in the HD guide in ubuntu if you can get in there - it tells you - or read your motherboard manual or even open the case and look for the chip :)
[09:24] <gilesw> evenin all
[09:24] <NigelS> graveson: then format it?
[09:24] <duelboot> _jason, presume he wants transparency
[09:24] <tonyyarusso> ruffy543: I didn't even see the question; scrolling up now...
[09:24] <purple^haze> _jason,  u running terminal  and u can see ur desktop through
[09:24] <yohan> NigelS: alright, but if i find out which controller, how may i match a module with it?
[09:24] <ruffy543> thnx tonyyarusso
[09:24] <_jason> ruffy543: you should pastebin errors that you get.  Maybe also /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[09:24] <_jason> purple^haze: are you using gnome's terminal?
[09:24] <ruffy543> it's just xserv doesnt start
[09:24] <NigelS> TheFaction20: no no no! you type "cat /proc/partitions" not with fdisk in front
[09:25] <tonyyarusso> ruffy543: You might be looking for dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg.  For a chance at specific help, so what _jason said.
[09:25] <purple^haze> _jason,  yes sir
[09:25] <NigelS> TheFaction20: fdisk is a disk partitioning tool
[09:25] <ruffy543> im afraid i dont understand tonyyarusso
[09:25] <NigelS> TheFaction20: cat displays stuff, concatenate also etc
[09:25] <_jason> purple^haze: edit > current profile > effects > transparent background
[09:25] <svenne> noen noske folk her
[09:25] <ruffy543> just type that in and it will allow me to reconfigure it?
[09:25] <purple^haze> _jason,  thank u
[09:26] <NigelS> yohan: in the kernel config it will be obvious as the names match it, if not then read the help given
[09:26] <graveson> nigels:that is the problem ,i have already with ext3 but in var/log/messages file i am receiving an error which refers to the orginal format of the purchased disk ie XFS: bad magic number
[09:26] <Comrade_Sergei> is it possible to use windows media player on linux
[09:26] <tonyyarusso> ruffy543: 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' allows you to go through some configuration steps again.  It doesn't sound like that's your issue now though, so maybe not.  See what other people say first.
[09:26] <TheFaction20> NigelS: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10855
[09:26] <Comrade_Sergei> i tried to use wine and it doesnt exactly work
[09:26] <void^> it's not even possible to use windows media player on windows sometimes.
[09:26] <tonyyarusso> Comrade_Sergei: Not to my knowledge, but there are plenty of good players.
[09:27] <NigelS> Comrade_Sergei: possibly with wine, but there's rarely a need - what do you think you need it for?
[09:27] <Comrade_Sergei> works slightly
[09:27] <tonyyarusso> Comrade_Sergei: Why are you trying?

[09:28] <misfit> Hye, quick question. I cannot view gmail.com because it asks me to install PSM. But I cannot find it in the package list lol
[09:28] <NigelS> Comrade_Sergei: an odd answer - what do you actually want to *do* with it? by library do you mean software wise or it's catalogue stuff?
[09:28] <ruffy543> svenn, i dont understand what you are saying
[09:29] <lampshade> misfit, what browser?
[09:29] <misfit> mozilla
[09:29] <NigelS> TheFaction20: strange - no /dev/sdc - what happens if you unplug and plug back in the drive inside the msssage log?

[09:30] <TheFaction20> NigelS:what was the line for that again?
[09:30] <Root_Of_All_Evil> yes it does really suck
[09:30] <tonyyarusso> Comrade_Sergei: You can use amaroK in Gnome, it will just grab a few libraries.
[09:30] <NigelS> gilesw: you've installed all the extra codecs etc?
[09:31] <NigelS> TheFaction20: tail -f /var/log/messages

[09:31] <svenne> ruffy543  what kind of burning program do u use?
[09:31] <tonyyarusso> gilesw: Doesn't play anything meaning what?
[09:31] <tonyyarusso> graveson: I've heard of JFS...
[09:32] <graveson> nigels: yes completely ,i do not know where it getting that error from,i partitioned the disk using cfdisk

[09:34] <graveson> tonyyarusson : can i show you s snapshot of what the disk has done .it has created 4 partitions ,eventhough i formatted the complete disk and only one partition can be mount.
[09:34] <gilesw> i just think there should be a link on the desktop to install what's needed with a disclaimer
[09:34] <tonyyarusso> abre: I use rhythmbox myself, but amaroK is probably the most popular.  VLC has it's good points too, as does mplayer, for non-library types.
[09:34] <Comrade_Sergei> wine and apt-get are like the only programs i use anymore
[09:34] <tonyyarusso> graveson: Sure; not sure if I can help, but I'll take a look.
[09:34] <gilesw> and i had to manually create a modeline for my monitor to use 100hz refresh rate
[09:35] <gilesw> things that a non techy would be clueless about
[09:35] <twirpie> hello?
[09:35] <NigelS> gilesw: I agree about the monitor issue - my number 1 bug bear with installs atm - but the link idea I think has been rejected so far due to legal concerns still
[09:35] <misfit> anyone know anything about PSM for mozilla.
[09:35] <zipper> gilesw, a non-techy probably wouldn't know why his screen was flickering
[09:35] <abre> can i get rhythmbox to play m4a?
[09:35] <zipper> or even notice
[09:36] <sethrd> For glxinfo, should DIrect Rendering be done by Mesa DRI?
[09:36] <pia_> what should i put in "/etc/sudoers" for an ordinary user to be able to reboot without using sudo ?
[09:36] <poap> how do i can into he dpkg-reconfigure of the screen resolution?
[09:36] <tonyyarusso> twirpie: Hi.
[09:36] <NigelS> zipper: you won't notice flickering unless it was about 60Hz probs :)
[09:36] <twirpie> wow this is kewl hope ya dont mind another noob coming in :)
[09:36] <misfit> hello twirpie
[09:36] <twirpie> hi

[09:37] <abre> tonyyarusso, yeah
[09:38] <graveson> tonyyarusso:what is the website for the pastebin
[09:38] <tonyyarusso> biovore: Sorry, I misdirected a tab-complete earlier.  How'd you go about building your mplayer with full supports?
[09:38] <sethrd> misfit: Not yet. I just ran glxinfo | grep direct and that is what showed up. I've heard that on some cards, direct rendering just works, and I was curious if it was suppose to be done with Mesa DRI.
[09:38] <qzn> i'm the ubuntu from a minute ago, and i try to mount the disc to chmod the /etc , no luck with mounting yet
[09:38] <biovore> from CVS
[09:38] <misfit> Mesa is software I think. run glxgears to give you an idea if acceleration is working too
[09:38] <poap> what is the command to reconfigure the resolution of the screen please?
[09:39] <Comrade_Sergei> wow thanks tonyarusso this is awesome!
[09:39] <tritium_> poap: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:39] <poap> thanks
[09:39] <biovore> The mplayer that comes with ubuntu has problems with some acc streams
[09:39] <can> lk
[09:39] <NigelS> gilesw: yeah, as I say the monitor thing has been an issue for some time
[09:39] <tonyyarusso> biovore: Ah.
[09:39] <can> selamn aleykm
[09:39] <misfit> sethrdIf it is working you should have something like direct rendering: Yes
[09:39] <TheFaction20> NigelS:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10856
[09:40] <pia_> poap, there is a menu for it too under Preferences if you just want ot change resolution
[09:40] <rohan_bisht> topic pastebin
[09:40] <sYs^> Do you have any ideas about this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=150277
[09:40] <can> hello
[09:40] <sethrd> misfit: Yeah, I get direct rendering = Yes, but was curious if it was suppose to be done with Mesa DRI. I get slow redraws on screen, and my system isn't slow by any means. It's not as good as systems today, but it's not a bad system.
[09:40] <can> :)
[09:41] <twirpie> so far i have learned to get mp3 working, videos working, irc working, learned how to make vcd's and burn them here with ubuntu, but i fail to see what is better then windows. i mean it is more complicated to do simple tasks that windows does perfectly. the only difference i can see is linux is safer against viruses. so why should i bother with linux?
[09:41] <can> jvh
[09:41] <eizesus> hi all, is there any good visual ftp client for ubuntu?
[09:41] <bobbyd> can anyone suggest a g GUI front end to MAME for ubuntu/linux ?

[09:41] <void^> "slow redraws on screen"?
[09:41] <bobbyd> eizesus, konqueror :)
[09:41] <rohan_bisht> how to use pastebin
[09:41] <sYs^> eizesus: i prefer IglooFTP-PRO
[09:42] <qzn> twirpie - less bluescreans, more stable, cheaper ;]
[09:42] <misfit> sethrd what card is it?
[09:42] <sethrd> misfit: Radeon 7500 Mobility 64MB.
[09:42] <] BreliC[> twirpie, everyone has different opinions on why linux is better or preferable
[09:42] <misfit> yay! ATI lol
[09:42] <biovore> twirpie: your stuck on the GUI.. the power of unix is on the command line..  Piping, awk, grep, and others
[09:42] <void^> twirpie: it's way easier in the long run
[09:42] <poap> I am not sure about my optimal screen resolution, so what do i check in the resolution configure?
[09:42] <twirpie> sure its free but i havent had any other problems besides viruses with windows
[09:42] <graveson> tonyyarusso:it is avalable on the pastebin
[09:42] <misfit> Have you installed the fglrx drivers?
[09:42] <] BreliC[> twirpie, personally, i agree with the philosophy.  i am against the kind of code hoarding and secrecy surrounding proprietary quasi-monopoly companies
[09:42] <duelboot> viruses and money
[09:42] <qzn> so, anyway, how can i mount a hdd running on live cd ?
[09:42] <rohan_bisht> how to use pastebin Pl help
[09:43] <] BreliC[> rohan_bisht, just go to www.pastebin.com and paste your info into the box
[09:43] <misfit> wait tI think those are for higher cards, maybe 8500+
[09:43] <can> aloooooooooo
[09:43] <biovore> qzn: sudo mount /dev/whatever /mount/<somedirectory>   see man mount
[09:43] <sethrd> misfit: No, not yet. I haven't started doing anything with it.
[09:43] <duelboot> qzn, yes
[09:43] <twirpie> i have noticed a bit of quickness from ubuntu compared to windows xp and also i can burn cd's much quicker'
[09:43] <tonyyarusso> graveson: Okay.
[09:43] <qzn> tried, the result is "wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
[09:43] <qzn> "
[09:43] <eizesus> i have noticed the fast burning also...
[09:44] <misfit> ubuntu has a bunch of drivers native rather then the ati ones. Let me check something
[09:44] <JAyRULE> i just installed ubuntu and my network card isnt working... you'd think there was a way to remedy that in the 'device manager' but there isnt... do u guys know how to get it up and running?
[09:44] <duelboot> i get the following error when I log on "insmod: can't read <snip> vesafb.ko...I understand it's cause I have ATI...how do I stop it from trying to find it?
[09:44] <eizesus> some'thin else, video manipulation also fastend up
[09:44] <TheFaction20> NigelS: you there
[09:44] <green_earz> twirpie: the desktops are way way better than xp
[09:45] <twirpie> i am having a hard time getting ubuntu to identify all my cdroms though
[09:45] <sethrd> misfit: Well, are you going to be on later? I'm actually on my way out the door, and thought I would check that, and work on it a little later.
[09:45] <Sashi> !ntfs
[09:45] <caike> Folks.. I get no reply from a ping to localhost... anyone ?
[09:45] <ubotu> I guess ntfs is the filesystem used in Windows NT and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[09:45] <misfit> sethrd : found something. My card is a 9600xt so I can use the fglrx drivers. But have a look here http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=122094
[09:45] <qzn> and the same result i get with hda1 hdb1 and all other drives in /dev
[09:46] <can> kj
[09:46] <duelboot> twirpie:  can you mount it/them?
[09:46] <sethrd> Got to go folks. Thanks for the help misfit.
[09:46] <Sashi> hmm
[09:46] <Sashi> how do i get the nfts package?
[09:46] <twirpie> whatcha mean? im a super noob.... just started linux 3 days ago
[09:46] <Sashi> or w/e
[09:46] <misfit> Now worries, later!
[09:46] <NigelS> TheFaction20: that implies that a drive (sdc) was added - I don't quite understand what has then gone wrong - as from what you say /dev/sdc doesn't exist
[09:47] <green_earz> twirpie: and you can strip the linux/gnu system down to suit your needs
[09:47] <tonyyarusso> graveson: That is a bit odd.  (As a side note, 559GB?!?)
[09:47] <twirpie> no idea how :(
[09:47] <Alexiel> does samba have a gui in ubuntu by default?
[09:48] <Sashi> a lil problem
[09:48] <misfit> *no worries..ops
[09:48] <Sashi> i dont see any windows partitons in ubuntu
[09:48] <Sashi> so how do i get it to work?
[09:48] <azurehuesofblue> Everytime I start ubuntu now... an archive manager opens up trying to open a specific tar.bz2 file... I deleted the file, but it still does it, and it's not in my sessions (startup thing) either... where is the file telling it to do this?
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> !windows
[09:48] <ubotu> Dr_Willis: What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[09:48] <Dr_Willis> !vfat
[09:48] <ubotu> Download and run http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter to make your windows or mac partitions mount automatically.  If you wish to set it up yourself by hand, read: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[09:48] <twirpie> tell me is a virus scanner needed for linux or should i pass?
[09:48] <TheFaction20> NigelS: what should i try now?
[09:49] <deefzi> is there a way to make gtk1-based applets to look quite the same as gtk2-apps. they are just so plain ugly
[09:49] <void^> (someone should fix that diskmounter script to ignore #-commented lines in fstab)
[09:49] <tonyyarusso> twirpie: Do you use anything like vnc, mailserver, webserver, that sort of thing that would be open to outside connection?  Or just default setup?
[09:49] <twirpie> just irc
[09:50] <tamale> so i never did get an answer... is there an easier way to set up dual monitors that doesn't involved practically coding xorg.conf ?
[09:50] <tonyyarusso> void^: Have you found a contact point for that script to know who someone is?
[09:50] <tane|> I have ATI Radeon X300 PCI-E with AMD65 kubuntu 5.1, should i install drivers provided by Ubuntu
[09:50] <tane|> or provided by ati
[09:50] <tane|> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI?highlight=%28driver%29%7C%28Ati%29
[09:51] <tonyyarusso> tamale: There is, but I don't know it.  You'll have to try to catch one of the people who have done that.  There are some tools.
[09:51] <misfit> tane| I would look into the ubuntu drivers first
[09:51] <green_earz> twirpie: check out > http://www.linux.org/lessons/index.html     for some back ground into the linux world
[09:51] <graveson> tonyarusso: yes it is actually a 600gb drive ,any ideas
[09:51] <void^> tonyyarusso: no, i was just trying to help someone earlier and noticed the script does a simple grep to figure out if a device is in fstab already..
[09:51] <twirpie> thanks greenie :)
[09:51] <tonyyarusso> tane|: Are you a gamer that needs acceleration?
[09:51] <green_earz> np
[09:51] <tamale> tony:  Any places you could point me?
[09:51] <tane|> tonyyarusso nope...but i want acceleration to work
[09:51] <misfit> ttane|: I am used to the ati ones since I came form slackware but ubuntu drivers are nice and work great with my ati
[09:51] <tonyyarusso> graveson: Unfortunately, no.
[09:51] <tane|> i may play q1
[09:52] <sady> hejloov
[09:52] <tane|> one problem is that i cant identify my card slot
[09:52] <gilesw> does anyone here have a problem with gaim displaying a corrupted file list?
[09:52] <tonyyarusso> tane|: Right.  Well, if you must have it, seveas' repo has fglrx packaged, but there are still some bugs.  Otherwise, live with the defaults.
[09:52] <tane|> when it asks it
[09:52] <gilesw> buddy list rather
[09:52] <gilesw> when i scroll it all goes nuts
[09:52] <sady> join #<kviz-slo>
[09:52] <tonyyarusso> tamale: Try the wiki, search dual monitor.  Let me know what comes up.
[09:53] <tane|> tonyyarusso: ye, i know, meaby i should buy NVIDIA card :)
[09:53] <tane|> if i want to full dirver support
[09:53] <azurehuesofblue> tamale, I have the same problem.
[09:53] <selinium> When using a shell script I have written, if I double click the icon it asks if i want to display, run, run in term or cancel. How do I get it to just run it?
[09:53] <kingspawn> anyone know how to control what a laptop does when you close the lid?
[09:53] <misfit> haha if you can afford it I would tane|
[09:53] <BWD> what do i need to install to get my pentium-m to throttle? it's stuck at 600mhz by default
[09:53] <azurehuesofblue> I've gotten used to one monitor lol
[09:53] <NigelS> TheFaction20: I'm not sure, I need to think about why it isn't working - that latest paste was a result of what happened when you plugged it in just now?
[09:53] <tamale> it just sounds ridiculously hard... everything i've read about getting dual monitors to work and editing the xorg.conf file manually...
[09:54] <misfit> tane|: I only have a 9600xt but the drivers are pretty good it seems for even gaming
[09:54] <abre> can anyone help me find the gstreamer0.8-faad packages, apt-get says it  cant find them
[09:54] <Dr_Willis> tamale,  what card?
[09:54] <tamale> i don't even KNOW my monitor's safe refresh rate settings
[09:54] <tane|> misfit do you have pci express ?
[09:54] <azurehuesofblue> tamale until I can learn to code the dang thing xorg.conf
[09:54] <TheFaction20> NigelS: yeah after i typed in the message log line. thats what came up when i replugged in the external drive
[09:54] <_jason> abre: it's in multiverse
[09:54] <tamale> 7800 GT
[09:54] <_jason> ubotu: tell abre about multiverse
[09:54] <misfit> sadly no :-( stuck with my agp ... it's x8 though!! errr,,,
[09:54] <NigelS> TheFaction20: it's plugged in now?
[09:54] <abre> _jason, i have that enabled i believe
[09:54] <Eleaf> uhh
[09:54] <tonyyarusso> tamale: Okay, xinerama is one of them, but I can never remember if it's the recommended one or not.
[09:55] <_jason> abre: are you sure you don't have backports multiverse instead of breezy multiverse?  you cna pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ if you want
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> tamale,  with nvidia cards, you proberly want to lookinto the 'twinview' docs and examples. Its an alternative to xinerama
[09:55] <twirpie> is there such thing as a serving script for linux? like xchat but with xdcc and fserv. anyone know?
[09:55] <tamale> xinerama is just an option that lets you specific if the monitors should be treated as a single unit i think
[09:55] <tane|> misfit my only problem is what to put there when installer asks PCI SLOT address
[09:55] <abre> _jason, yeah, you were right
[09:55] <NigelS> tamale: it's pretty straight forward - just follow the instructions in the nvidia docs
[09:55] <tane|> i dont know it
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> twirpie,  proberly oooodles of them - dependng on the irc client.
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> lspci gives the pcslot address
[09:55] <Dr_Willis> i think
[09:55] <tamale> nigel - everything i've seen is one person explaining how they set it up for their particular setup
[09:55] <TheFaction20> NigelS: yes it is
[09:55] <tamale> no one has MY setup, so i don't know what to do
[09:56] <twirpie> i got one i used for windows but i cant get it running here :(
[09:56] <misfit> tane| eek. I am not familiar with pci-e
[09:56] <arrick> tonyyarusso: you sent me a message earlier, I had to go to my other pc and put the live cd in, in order to read the chat, can you resend please?
[09:56] <Sashi> umm
[09:56] <azurehuesofblue> tamale, so you think twinview is the option we need and not xinerama?
[09:56] <NigelS> tamale: go to nvidia.com and read the driver docs
[09:56] <tane|> ye, meaby someone is
[09:56] <Sashi> lil help
[09:56] <NigelS> tamale: look at the section starting "twin view"
[09:56] <Sashi> what should the mount point be
[09:56] <misfit> Have you tried search the community forums for it?
[09:56] <Sashi> if im trying to mount ntfs partition
[09:56] <Dr_Willis> twinview is Nvidiaas answer to xinerama.
[09:56] <tane|> Someone with ATI CARD ON PCI-E ?
[09:56] <abre> _jason, thaks
[09:57] <_jason> abre: np
[09:57] <tamale> the driver docs only reference Xfree86
[09:57] <BWD> can someone tell me where i can find info about how to configure powernowd to correctly clock my pentium-m?
[09:57] <azurehuesofblue> I'm going to look at the nvidia docs... I might just post my xorg.conf files up here if any 1337 person can code it for me :-P
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> tamale,  its identical config file/options
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> tamale,  you can google for example of peoples xorg.confs that have twinview enabled
[09:58] <Dr_Willis> tamale,  and yes - it can take some work/tweaking
[09:58] <tonyyarusso> arrick: 'sudo mkdir /etc/rcbackups/ && sudo cp /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm /etc/rcbackups/ && sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm'
[09:58] <tamale> Dr_Willis:  I'm just afraid i could spend an entire day on it and not be any closer to getting it to work
[09:58] <azurehuesofblue> Dr_Willis... it's a bitch! excuse my french. lol
[09:58] <tonyyarusso> arrick: That one?
[09:58] <Xardas> hi
[09:59] <arrick> thanks tonyyarusso:, yep thats it
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> tamale,  "Just DO it" :P lol
[09:59] <tamale> I just don't have that kind of time
[09:59] <Xardas> i have a question: how could i add a second panel in xfce? i use breezy
[09:59] <NigelS> TheFaction20: right - and sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /tmp def doesn't work?
[09:59] <BWD> ugh
[09:59] <Dr_Willis> tamale,  i had to read/learn/figure it out.. OR you could install/test the mepis live cd.. and steal its xorg.conf - it has a tool to enable twinview.
[09:59] <arrick> Is the && the beginning of a second commadnd?
[09:59] <AOS> i cant visit google unless i go by IP
[10:00] <tamale> isn't there a gui for dual monitors in fedora?
[10:00] <NigelS> tamale: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/1.0-8178/README/appendix-g.html is the relevant section
[10:00] <AOS> i think it is a DNS problem
[10:00] <arrick> tonyyarusso: is the && the beginning of a second command?
[10:00] <twirpie> man i think windows made me lazy.... or stupid....er :)
[10:00] <azurehuesofblue> Dr_Willis... no way... how clever... I'm looking for the mepis live cd!
[10:00] <Zanga> !mp3
[10:00] <ubotu> methinks mp3 is a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[10:00] <tamale> thanks nigel, i guess i'll just have to wait until some day when i have a lot of free time  :)
[10:00] <arrick> twirpie: It killed me, I thought running computers was brainless till I started running linux
[10:01] <NigelS> tamale: also http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/nvidia-xconfig/nvidia-xconfig-1.0.tar.gz is the new nvidia config tool - not in breezy i think yet - I think it should be compatible with the version of the drivers in breezy though; might let you do it
[10:01] <NigelS> tamale: or about 15 mins :)
[10:01] <TheFaction20> NigelS: yeah it doesnt work
[10:01] <twirpie> thats where im at lol
[10:01] <Dr_Willis> azurehuesofblue,  all i did was find some one elses xorg.conf and learned from it.. and tweaked it a little.
[10:01] <AOS> I have a dns problem
[10:01] <tamale> my xconfig utilitiy actually works fine
[10:01] <tonyyarusso> arrick: It separates commands, yes.
[10:01] <azurehuesofblue> k, you think the mepis livecd is worth a shot though?
[10:01] <tritium_> tamale: it's also in /usr/share/doc/nvidia-glx/README.gz
[10:01] <tamale> but it's funny there's hardly any useful settings
[10:02] <dylan_> because i cannot join #fedora, does anybody know how to add repositories in fedora?
[10:02] <NigelS> TheFaction20: you're using breezy?
[10:02] <Aesop> Hey, can anyone offer some help on using Cinelerra?
[10:02] <arrick> ok
[10:02] <TheFaction20> NigelS:version 5.1 idk if thats breezy
[10:03] <twirpie> lol i've had to read more in the past 3 days learning linux then my elongated 7 year stay in high school :)~
[10:03] <TheFaction20> NigelS: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10861   <----thats what i get when i run the message log with the drive in
[10:03] <azurehuesofblue> dylan_ why cant you join #fedora?... you can just follow the IDENTIFY thing... put in your password or whatever.
[10:03] <NigelS> TheFaction20: I mean ubuntu version 5, breezy badger :)
[10:03] <dylan_> azurehuesofblue: i dont know why ... it just wont let me
[10:03] <tonyyarusso> twirpie: Maybe that's why it took 7 years...
[10:03] <TheFaction20> NigelS:i assume so its a version 5.1 disk
[10:04] <NigelS> TheFaction20: ah! well that looks like our problem - that doens't look good - this drive works in windows bte?
[10:04] <arrick> tonyyarusso: Thanks
[10:04] <TheFaction20> NigelS:yeah it works in windows
[10:04] <azurehuesofblue> dylan_ that sucks, I used to use fedora... Ubuntu is harder but more rewarding I think... sorry I cant help.
[10:05] <tonyyarusso> arrick: Working to your satisfaction now?
[10:05] <twirpie> hmmmm......no comment :)
[10:05] <arrick> rebooting on the dinosaur right now
[10:05] <dylan_> azurehuesofblue: thanks, i think.  is yum or apt better?
[10:05] <kiroh> hi all! does somebody know how can i configure de s-video output?
[10:06] <arrick> tonyyarusso: you know if ubuntu supports Lexmark printers?
[10:06] <duelboot> i get the following error when I log on "insmod: can't read <snip> vesafb.ko...I understand it's cause I have ATI...how do I stop it from trying to find it?
[10:06] <Installer36> arrick yes
[10:06] <arrick> ok
[10:06] <tonyyarusso> arrick: Might depend on the printer; there are lists.
[10:06] <Installer36> you may need to laod rivers
[10:06] <azurehuesofblue> dylan_ apt... I just like ubuntu more.
[10:07] <arrick> installer36: where can I find the list, and a reference on how to install the printer?
[10:07] <Installer36> arrick what model
[10:07] <arrick> Lexmark X6170 USB
[10:07] <jafar00> hi
[10:07] <Installer36> brb
[10:07] <arrick> installer36: I would like to install it without the gui if I can
[10:08] <jafar00> Is this the right place to ask about ubuntu 64bit?
[10:08] <NigelS> TheFaction20: could be a hardware issue then; I'm watching planet earth on bbc1 atm but that looks like the requests were timing out and ti gave up, and removed the drive - it would be good to google on those errors, I shall look into it in a bit I think
[10:09] <arrick> tonyyarusso: thanks, its working right now for me, if only I can get that darn printer installed, so I can network it
[10:09] <twirpie> are exe's run the same way as in dos? or is it alittle different?

[10:14] <arrick> Installer36: Lexmark X6170 USB, in case you missed it earlier
[10:14] <CrocoJet> jafar00, Hi ! :)
[10:15] <deefzi> tamale, it's like my eyes were to bleed acid every time i have to strumble in those menu-jungles
[10:15] <aucirob> I have a .run file on my desktop
[10:15] <arrick> How do I uninstal GNOME?
[10:15] <tamale> deefzi:  Yah, those are absolutely horrid. on the same subject, i'd like to know how to get the standard xfonts (like misc for example) available as options to use everywhere (under the font preferences tool)
[10:15] <o-1> people
[10:15] <arrick> from the terminal
[10:15] <Mischevious> IdleOne, looks like the server is down ..
[10:15] <trappist> aucirob: that's not the preferred way to install the drivers.
[10:15] <IdleOne> arrick, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[10:15] <fiendskull9> arrick, you have to be out of linux to work it.
[10:15] <IdleOne> Mischevious, so it isnt me then ok thanks
[10:16] <o-1> both my totem 1.2.1 and 1.4 now cant change subtitles font
[10:16] <aucirob> How do i do it then.?
[10:16] <arrick> is that going to uninstall the GNOME?
[10:16] <trappist> arrick: if you have the universe repository enabled, just say sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx linux-restricted-modules
[10:16] <kleinlappies> hello
[10:16] <IdleOne> arrick, it will install the ubungu gnome desktop
[10:16] <arrick> I am on the server terminal ok
[10:16] <IdleOne> ubuntu*
[10:16] <arrick> I want to get rid of the GNOME completely
[10:16] <arrick> its to slow on this pc
[10:17] <Mischevious> arrick, sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[10:17] <fiendskull9> arrick, then you wont be able to boot to linux
[10:17] <arrick> ok thanks
[10:17] <arrick> ouch
[10:17] <Mischevious> fiendskull9, that's not true
[10:17] <Mischevious> thats a lie ...
[10:17] <trappist> Mischevious: that won't do it
[10:17] <arrick> I wnat to keep the server
[10:17] <Mischevious> arrick, dont listen to him
[10:17] <twirpie> whats the difference between ubuntu kubuntu and edubutu?
[10:17] <Mischevious> that is wrong
[10:17] <arrick> ok
[10:17] <trappist> ubuntu-desktop is a meta-package.  uninstalling it won't do anything.
[10:17] <aucirob> I have Nvidia drivers installed, but I want to install the new ones for LINUX , is it the same process?
[10:17] <Mischevious> arrick, you will just not have a graphic desktop
[10:17] <kleinlappies> what is the best way to upgrade bager to drake?
[10:17] <arrick> thats what I wan
[10:18] <arrick> I also have xubuntu on here as well
[10:18] <Mischevious> okay
[10:18] <fiendskull9> Mischevious, calm down, if he has another operating system installed before ubuntu, he will only boot to that system.
[10:18] <cute_bettong> Seveas, can you tell anything from this error as to why my agp is failling? http://pastebin.com/623789
[10:18] <Mischevious> you can still use that with gnome gone if you choose
[10:18] <axa123>  Hi, can someone please tell how can I set "aspell" as default, and set some other (non-english) dictionary as default also (it it is posibble on that level)?
[10:18] <Mischevious> fiendskull9, you are wrong again
[10:18] <Mischevious> fiendskull9, lol
[10:18] <arrick> ok
[10:18] <dabaR> twirpie: kubuntu is a collection of KDE applications on the desktop, and edubuntu is a collection of gnome apps+apps for schools.
[10:18] <jafar00> anyone got a sources.list for ubuntu64?
[10:18] <twirpie> ohhhh ok i see thats neat
[10:19] <fiendskull9> Mischevious, thats why 2 days ago when i uninstalled gnome. i just landed in windows?
[10:19] <trappist> Mischevious: ubuntu-desktop doesn't contain anything.  it just depends on a lot of gnome packages, and uninstalling it won't remove anything.
[10:19] <Mischevious> fiendskull9, lol, un related
[10:19] <Mischevious> trappist, yea, you are right.
[10:19] <aucirob> I have Nvidia drivers installed, but I want to install the new ones 81.for LINUX , is it the same process?
[10:19] <aucirob> 81.78
[10:19] <trappist> aucirob: why?
[10:19] <ArukiRei> hello, i'm trying to set up an ftp server on my webserver using Proftpd... does anyone know what the standard username and password is.. I think it's Username : nobody but i don't remember the password
[10:19] <fiendskull9> Mischevious, no its not, if he uninstalls gnome with 2 operating systems installed, he will only get to one of them
[10:19] <axa123>  Hi, can someone please tell how can I set "aspell" as default, and set some other (non-english) dictionary as default also (it it is posibble on that level)?
[10:19] <aucirob> just to be updated
[10:19] <Mischevious> fiendskull9, thats not true buddy
[10:19] <IdleOne> !tell aucirob about nvidia
[10:19] <aucirob> do i need to?
[10:19] <Mischevious> fiendskull9, not true at all
[10:19] <trappist> ArukiRei: it's usually "anonymous"
[10:20] <jafar00> does nobody know anything about ubuntu64?
[10:20] <Mischevious> trappist, can you tell fiendskull9 that uninstalling gnome doesn't hurt ubuntu installs at all ...
[10:20] <trappist> fiendskull9: gnome isn't an operating system.  it's a collection of software.  removing it doesn't remove the operating system or modify the bootloader.
[10:20] <fiendskull9> Mischevious, i neverr said it huirt ubuntu! i said he cant acsess it, christ.
[10:20] <kleinlappies> can i upgrade to drake or must i rather reinstall with iso (cd) ?
[10:20] <benutzer> Hi, can anyony tell me, how i set the time-configuration from UTC back to local time?
[10:20] <trappist> kleinlappies: you can upgrade to it.
[10:20] <Mischevious> fiendskull9, you are wrong, no gnome = a server install.. which is an option from the cd buddy
[10:21] <trappist> benutzer: sudo tzconfig
[10:21] <benutzer> it's not tzconfig....
[10:21] <Mischevious> fiendskull9, it wont affect grub which is what boots the OS
[10:21] <trappist> benutzer: tzselect then
[10:21] <Caike> jafar00, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=92672
[10:21] <benutzer> ahhh, i'll try
[10:21] <fiendskull9> Mischevious, HE WANTS TO UNINSTALL GRUB!
[10:21] <arrick> Mischevious: thats better, now I can see the thing when I startx to the xubuntu, and its faster
[10:21] <kleinlappies> trappist thanks. and if i install kde ontop of ubuntu will it still be ok
[10:21] <arrick> nope
[10:21] <Mischevious> fiendskull9, no he doesn't
[10:22] <Mischevious> omfg you are a stupid moron
[10:22] <arrick> just the desktop
[10:22] <Mischevious> just go away
[10:22] <twirpie> this may sound silly but does ubuntu and its apps update automaticly or do i need to update manually?
[10:22] <trappist> kleinlappies: yes.  the preferred way to do that is "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop"
[10:22] <cyberserver> people, I am thinking on setting up a new system base on AMD Athlon64 or Athlon 64x2. Anyone has good motherboard references for this? I was thinking of Asus A8N-VM/A8N-VM CSM but I read numerous problems with nvidia mb (IDE, Network,Sound) and Linux..
[10:22] <trappist> Mischevious: please adhere to the CoC
[10:22] <spacey> Mischevious: please don't use that kind of language/tone
[10:22] <Mischevious> trappist, sorry.. just stupid people irk me
[10:22] <apeitheo> How would I make Ubuntu allow a cd to be taken out without unmounting it?
[10:22] <trappist> Mischevious: cut it out man.
[10:22] <arrick> mee to mee to
[10:22] <kleinlappies> trappist sweet
[10:22] <fiendskull9> Mischevious, i simply misunderstood, i thought i said he wanted to uninstall gnome.
[10:23] <trappist> apeitheo: you can't eject a mounted cd
[10:23] <apeitheo> It's nice that you can put a cd in and have it automount, but how would I make it auto_un_mount
[10:23] <Mischevious> arrick, so you just want to run a server?
[10:23] <arrick> yep
[10:23] <fiendskull9> kleinlappies, keep in mind, i belive that command installs all kubuntu programs too.
[10:23] <Mischevious> apeitheo, right click it and hit eject
[10:23] <arrick> with my printer attahed, so I can network it, and share files from it
[10:23] <apeitheo> trappist, Mischevious: so there isn't any way to have it do that automatically?
[10:23] <tritium_> Mischevious: be nice to others please, or you'll be gone
[10:23] <Mischevious> arrick, cool.
[10:23] <Mischevious> apeitheo, yea if you right click and hit eject
[10:23] <apeitheo> Mischevious: well, okay :)
[10:23] <themuffenmann> i know this is an Ubuntu server, but has anyone used Solaris UNIX 10?
[10:23] <trappist> apeitheo: if you do it from the frontend (as Mischevious suggested) it should automatically umount then eject
[10:24] <twirpie> this may sound silly but does ubuntu and its apps update automaticly or do i need to update manually?
[10:24] <apeitheo> trappist: I personally don't mind but I'm finding it hard to describe to my mother who is using Ubuntu.
[10:24] <trappist> twirpie: you need to tell it to update
[10:24] <fiendskull9> trappist, was klein wanting to install just kde enviro? or all the apps with it.
[10:24] <cyberserver> Do you face problems browsing sites where there are dynamic layer menus and flash, where the menus are not shown because the get behind the flash movie?
[10:24] <twirpie> how?
[10:24] <trappist> apeitheo: I totally understand

[10:26] <shawn__> i cannot go to google with its URL
[10:26] <fiendskull9> kleinlappies, but apt-get install kubuntu-desktop will install everything, if you just want the kde enviroment, its sudo apt-get install kde-base.

[10:31] <arrick> mischevious: I haven't seen my printer on either of the lists, does that mean its not supported by ubuntu?

[10:32] <PistolPedro> :-p
[10:32] <graveson> how do you check if applications need updates and is it recommended to update when and if they are available
[10:33] <tritium_> PistolPedro: please stay on topic
[10:33] <kapputu> can someone help setup my wireless?
[10:33] <PistolPedro> tritium_, i'll try :-P
[10:33] <Sashi> hey
[10:33] <Sashi> wheres the kernel source?
[10:33] <PistolPedro> hi Sashi
[10:33] <PistolPedro> you can apt-get it
[10:33] <Sashi> no no
[10:33] <Sashi> where is it installed
[10:33] <PistolPedro> Sashi, oh, not sure...
[10:33] <soundray> kapputu, we'll try if you say what the problem is.
[10:33] <arrick> pistolpedro: I only have the xubuntu gui installed, and there is no system.admin.printing
[10:33] <tritium> Sashi: dpkg -L <packagename> to list files in a package
[10:33] <PistolPedro> arrick, yea that gui is on gnome
[10:34] <kapputu> I'm not able to get a ip address assigned
[10:34] <themuffenmann> has anyone tried or used Solaris UNIX 10?
[10:34] <themuffenmann> just curious..if so, how is it?
[10:34] <soundray> kapputu, static or DHCP?
[10:34] <kapputu> and the wireless interface is mentioned as ath0 instead of wlan0
[10:34] <kapputu> dhcp
[10:34] <ArukiRei> anyone else know what the password for proftpd user nobody??
[10:34] <kapputu> I didn't configure my network during installation
[10:34] <arrick> PistolPedro: I already figured that part out when I tried finding it before
[10:34] <PistolPedro> arrick, :-P
[10:34] <tritium> kapputu: ath0 would be an Atheros chipset.  Is that what you have?
[10:34] <soundray> kapputu: ath0 means your interface is supported by the madwifi driver. Doesn't make a difference otherwise.
[10:35] <PistolPedro> arrick, i don't know how to edit without a gui, i just know i selected my printer using the gui and it's always worked perfectly
[10:35] <arrick> haha
[10:35] <kapputu> tritium, could be. I got this from a friend so I don't know what chipset it is
[10:35] <kapputu> soundray, my ethernet works
[10:35] <arrick> I couldnt get the gnome gui to boot all the way on my dinosaur
[10:35] <Sashi> erm
[10:35] <tritium> kapputu: look at the output of lspci
[10:35] <PistolPedro> arrick, lol..
[10:35] <Sashi> whats the kernel source package name
[10:35] <Alexiel> Is there a gui which i can configure samba through? i remember having one under FC but i can't find one in ubuntu
[10:35] <soundray> kapputu: I'm talking about wireless.
[10:36] <kapputu> tritium, what am I looking for?
[10:36] <PistolPedro> Alexiel, system>admin>shared folders ?
[10:36] <tritium> kapputu: your wireless chipset
[10:36] <kapputu> yes it's Atheros communications
[10:36] <soundray> tritium, if the device name is ath0, it must be atheros/madwifi.
[10:36] <tritium> soundray: as I told him
[10:36] <kapputu> soundray, yeah I know. I was just mentioning that there is no problem with DHCP
[10:36] <arrick> is there a xubuntu room that might be able to help me out a little better than in here?
[10:37] <Seveas> #xubuntu
[10:37] <Alexiel> PistolPedro, thanks that should do nicely
[10:37] <kapputu> tritium, so what do I do next?
[10:37] <PistolPedro> Alexiel, no problem.
[10:37] <Sashi> tritium, whats the package nae
[10:37] <Sashi> name*
[10:37] <kapputu> I remember that it worked out of the box last time I installed Breezy
[10:37] <PistolPedro> arrick, and #xfce for xfce
[10:37] <tritium> Sashi: did you install it?
[10:37] <arrick> ok thanks
[10:37] <Sashi> i dont even know what the kernel source package name is :P
[10:37] <shawn__> hey
[10:37] <PistolPedro> shawn__, hi
[10:37] <shawn__> can anyone help me with some DNS problems
[10:38] <PistolPedro> shawn__, shoot
[10:38] <soundray> kapputu: so when you try to assign an ip, do you try to obtain it through DHCP or by static assignment?
[10:38] <tritium> Sashi: apt-cache search linux-source
[10:38] <kapputu> obtain it through DHCP
[10:38] <kapputu> should I try assigning a static one?
[10:38] <tritium> kapputu: are you using dapper?  #ubuntu+1 is the dapper channel
[10:38] <kapputu> no Breezy
[10:38] <Sashi> linux-patch-ubuntu-2.6.12 - Ubuntu patches to Linux 2.6.12
[10:38] <Sashi> linux-source-2.6.12 - Linux kernel source for version 2.6.12 with Ubuntu patches
[10:38] <kapputu> gubuntu
[10:38] <soundray> kapputtu, no, I'm just trying to get an idea of what the problem is.
[10:38] <tritium> Sashi: you've found your answer
[10:39] <shawn__> PistolPedro, i cant go to any big websites (google) by URL, only if i ping it and go to it through the IP
[10:39] <PistolPedro> shawn__, okay, tell me the dns server you are using
[10:39] <shawn__> PistolPedro, i have no idea
[10:39] <shawn__> PistolPedro, how do i find out?
[10:39] <PistolPedro> shawn__, go to system>admin>networking select the device you are using and hit the dns tab
[10:39] <zbbb> hello, does anyone have any idea how to throttle network throughput in ubuntu?
[10:40] <shawn__> PistolPedro, k
[10:40] <kapputu> soundray, is there any way to scan the wireless networks around?
[10:40] <soundray> kapputu: Have you configured a DHCP server on the wireless network?
[10:40] <kapputu> soundray, yes I'm able to get wireless access from Windows
[10:40] <soundray> kapputu, iwconfig ath0 scan, I think.
[10:41] <bmk789> anyone interested in developing a debian based distro please come to #medeix
[10:41] <zbbb> i mean, using some existing controlpanel. it seems it is not possible to throttle the throughput of the network anywhere
[10:41] <steven_> hi everyone.  i am a linux newbie and just bought this sony vaio fee550g.  I spent the morning installing breezy, but i can't get the sound to work.

[10:42] <PistolPedro> shawn__, okay delete those, and try this one...  <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:43] <soundray> graveson, neither kde nor gnome are window managers btw.
[10:43] <shawn__> PistolPedro, k
[10:43] <Seveas> Joetheodd, by contributing significantly to Ubuntu for a long period
[10:43] <Joetheodd> Seveas: I know. That was a bad attempt to be funny. =)

[10:45] <Khamael> Seveas: ok. is most popular progs that easy to install?
[10:46] <PistolPedro> Khamael, yes
[10:46] <Seveas> Khamael, around 17000 of them
[10:46] <Seveas> Khamael, applications  add applications

[10:46] <shawn__> PistolPedro, it works now
[10:46] <kapputu> brb
[10:46] <Seveas> birdfish, or dpkg -l | less
[10:46] <birdfish> Seveas: Sweet, thanks!
[10:46] <PistolPedro> shawn__, :-)

[10:47] <shawn__> PistolPedro, i took out the <IP_ADDRESS> and put in my old other one and the one you gave me
[10:47] <PistolPedro> shawn__, okay good. you don't want to use the <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:47] <I586> anyone to help install ubuntu grub
[10:47] <arrick> pistolpedro: nope, its usb printer, i went to http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Lexmark_Printers and it says you have to mount your usb file system
[10:47] <maxkelley> say... I can't switch vterms... is this a known problem?
[10:47] <soundray> kapputu: sorry, I had a wetware failure. Try 'iwlist wlan0 scanning'
[10:48] <maxkelley> I586: it's default installed.
[10:48] <PistolPedro> arrick, i don't know sorry...
[10:48] <TheFaction20> has anyone been successful in installing Ubuntu on an external usb drive?
[10:48] <I586> <maxkelley i want to make  a boot  floppy disk

[10:48] <ubotu> I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, PistolPedro

[10:50] <soundray> sg47_: Hi
[10:50] <Sashi> what command to extract a tar.bz2
[10:50] <Sashi>  file?
[10:50] <sg47_> soundray, my wireless works but I'm using someone else's wireless
[10:50] <TheFaction20> alright thank you
[10:50] <tamale> spearion: I JUST resolved this problem myself
[10:50] <PistolPedro> sg47_, lol
[10:51] <sg47_> it doesn't work when I use my own
[10:51] <soundray> sg47_: interesting. Someone isn't being very careful in your neighborhood.
[10:51] <sg47_> soundray, well yeah but I'd like to use my own
[10:51] <PistolPedro> sg47_, you should not do that, a man in illinois got in trouble for doing that recently.
[10:51] <tamale> spherion:  I used the ext3 file system because the windows driver for ext3fs is much much better than anything that tries to work with ntfs or fat under *nix
[10:51] <sg47_> PistolPedro, yes I know that
[10:51] <_jason> Sashi: tar xvjf file.tar.bz2
[10:51] <sg47_> I'm just testing it
[10:52] <Sphearion> tamale ALL my partitions are ext3
[10:52] <soundray> sg47_: do you use the Networking dialog in System-Admin?
[10:52] <Joetheodd> Will it be safe to just install regular wine via downloading and building source, instead of using the repositories?
[10:52] <Khamael> does the ubuntu installer support things like reiserfs and/or xfs? and what is the best for desktop use?
[10:52] <sg47_> soundray, yes I don't have any option to specify if it's a shared key or open
[10:52] <tamale> spherion:  Then you should be able to chmod -R 777
[10:52] <sg47_> I can do that in Windows
[10:53] <tamale> (as root of course)
[10:53] <Joetheodd> Khamael: I'm not sure if it supports reisterfs or xfs, but ext3 is the best for desktop.
[10:53] <Sphearion> i have the partitions setup in the fstab and the directories made. but it says permission denied when anyone but my main username tries to access them
[10:53] <tamale> yah that's the third entry in the permissions setup
[10:53] <tamale> chmod 775 for read for everyone
[10:53] <tamale> 777 for read/write for everyone
[10:53] <Sphearion> 777 is read write execute
[10:53] <soundray> sg47_: not even if you click on ath0 and the Properties button?
[10:53] <Sphearion> its movies and music I doubt I need the x
[10:54] <tamale> you need the x if you want people to browse directories
[10:54] <Sphearion> ahh thats the issue then
[10:54] <mwe> only for dirs
[10:54] <Joetheodd> tamale: x is executable, not readable. r = readable
[10:54] <Sphearion> how would I recursively change all the directories (ONLY) to 777
[10:55] <tamale> that I'm not sure of :)
[10:55] <mwe> find /mount/point -type d -chmod +x {} \;
[10:55] <soundray> Joetheodd: he's still right
[10:55] <mwe> find /mount/point -type d -exec chmod +x {} \; that is
[10:55] <Joetheodd> soundray: oh. =p
[10:55] <tamale> nicely done mwe
[10:55] <dragon> i`ve finished ubuntu installation. There was no problem during installation. But system stops booting at 'starting hotplug subsystem'. what schould i do now?

[10:56] <montbazin> Hello, I need some help. When I tried to install Ubunto on a PC I got following message: "Starting System log daemon: syslogd, klogd." ant the everyting was bocked. Any idea about what to do ?
[10:56] <steven_> lol
[10:57] <Sphearion> ohh
[10:57] <soundray> Sphearion: try '{}' (with quotes) and the spaces exactly as in mwe's suggestion
[10:57] <Sashi> ack
[10:57] <Sashi> i need help mounting ntfs
[10:57] <Sashi> it says i dont have permission
[10:57] <mwe> no, no qoutes around {}
[10:57] <tamale> ask your mother first before you try to mount anything
[10:57] <soundray> !ntfs
[10:57] <ubotu> hmm... ntfs is the filesystem used in Windows NT and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[10:57] <tamale> only she can grant permission for mounting
[10:58] <arrick> what is RSDP during boot of ubuntu?
[10:58] <Sphearion> awesome
[10:58] <ax9> is Ubuntu faster than XP pro?
[10:58] <Eleaf> lol
[10:59] <soundray> ax9: faster to install, yes.
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> ax9,  i find it is. on my system
[10:59] <Dr_Willis> MUCH faster to install.. and runs faster
[10:59] <c0llin> hello
[10:59] <ncp> i have installede ubuntu in english, how can i cange it do danish? its ubuntu server
[10:59] <tamale> I just had an awesome idea....  there should be a repository for xorg.conf files for ALL SORTS of different configurations, so newbies like me don't have to know how to code!!!  OR.. better yet, a tool that AUTOMATICALLY genererates an xorg.conf file for you after you give the setup you want
[10:59] <mwe> ubuntu took longer to install than xp here
[11:00] <ax9> is internet faster!
[11:00] <ax9> ?
[11:00] <arrick> what is ubuntu's command for 'emerge'
[11:00] <Dr_Willis> tamale,  thought of that befor also.. - and there are many config tools out there.
[11:00] <tamale> for me, the install took way longer, but that's only 'cause i didn't know wtf i was doing
[11:00] <soundray> montbazin: Try a few boot options: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootOptions
[11:00] <Dr_Willis> arrick,  time to read up on 'apt-get'
[11:00] <arrick> thanks
[11:00] <Steve^> mwe, it takes longer to boot too
[11:00] <schnable> hello, im installing an ubuntu system manually. if i don't want any gui, do i need to install the ubuntu-desktop package? I would like to have the same functionality as the "server" install
[11:00] <mwe> ax9: um. the internet is limited by whatever connection you have
[11:00] <ncp> i have installede ubuntu in english, how can i cange it do danish? its ubuntu server i have installede, so theres no x...
[11:00] <mwe> Steve^: really? it's way faster here
[11:01] <tamale> i haven't found any "config tools" for dual monitors  :p
[11:01] <mwe> Steve^: XP takes a minute and another minute or so before the desktop is ready here
[11:01] <tonyyarusso> ncp: You'll need to get the language pack, and then set the language in your .profile, iirc.
[11:01] <soundray> mwe: you probably installed openoffice and all kinds of other stuff with ubuntu that doesn't come with XP :)
[11:01] <mwe> Steve^: ubuntu about one minute until the desktop is ready
[11:01] <c0llin> during install(amd64) the screen is stalled on blue
[11:01] <phrowzen> iirc = ?
[11:01] <tamale> Steve^:  My xp bootup takes 23 seconds, my ubuntu bootup takes 3 minutes
[11:01] <Steve^> mwe, well time from desktop opening to being useable is longer in XP. But I think XP wins overall..
[11:01] <arrick> I think I'm going back to the window print server, thanks for all the help
[11:02] <tonyyarusso> !iirc
[11:02] <ubotu> [iirc]  "If I Remember Correctly", (If I remember correctly... )

[11:02] <mwe> tamale: 23 secs to boot XP ?!
[11:02] <soundray> tamale: have a look at the bum package
[11:02] <Steve^> !recursion
[11:02] <soundray> !info bum
[11:02] <ubotu> Steve^: I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[11:02] <tamale> from pressing enter at grun till i can actually use the desktop
[11:02] <ubotu> bum: (tool to manage bootup scripts), section universe/admin, is optional. Version: 1.3.2-1 (breezy), Packaged size: 55 kB, Installed size: 348 kB
[11:02] <sg47__> soundray, I got it working by setting the WEP authentication to Automatic instead of Shared
[11:02] <mwe> tamale: that must be a record
[11:02] <Ryand> can anyone here help me get my sound working?
[11:02] <montbazin> soundray: thanks, ill try that, it worked fine on another computer, do you think it has to do with the computers BIOS?
[11:02] <soundray> sg47__ great
[11:02] <tamale> mwe:  which one? lol
[11:02] <c0llin> can someone help me with an install?
[11:02] <tonyyarusso> tamale: Mine's 45s - 1m.
[11:02] <ncp> tonyyarusso : is it possible to se it for the whole system an not only my profile. all my webpages is also loaded with the wrong encodings, its not utf-8
[11:02] <tamale> i think it's the networking in bunut
[11:02] <tonyyarusso> c0llin: Just ask your question.
[11:03] <soundray> montbazin: it often does. I had to use the noapic option here, and flip an option in the BIOS setup as well.
[11:03] <c0llin> the screen went blue during the install
[11:03] <tonyyarusso> ncp: That I don't know.  Probably something in /etc, but I'm not sure.
[11:03] <mwe> tamale: well booting xp in 23 seconds is really fast I think
[11:03] <Zanga> were can i see a list of programs fr linux ???
[11:03] <Ryand> can anyone here help me trouble shoot my sound problems?
[11:03] <tamale> 2.6ghz amd64  3800+ x2  :)
[11:03] <mwe> !tell Ryand about sound
[11:03] <arrick> as much as I love this stuff, I can't seem to find the info to run ubuntu as a print server ith my printer, Lexmark X6170.
[11:04] <tonyyarusso> Zanga: System > Administration > Synaptic
[11:04] <ax9> when i use a Knoppix live-cd, browsing the web using firefox is faster than XP using Firefox, is it the same with Ubuntu?
[11:04] <soundray> Zanga: freshmeat.net
[11:04] <Ryand> mwe: i went through that
[11:04] <Zanga> !tell Zanga about sound
[11:04] <mwe> ax9: it's about the same for me. maybe a little faster in linux
[11:04] <tonyyarusso> c0llin: And just stayed there?
[11:04] <montbazin> soundray: You know I'm quite a newby, what is "noapic"?
[11:04] <mwe> Ryand: then ask away
[11:04] <soundray> montbazin: black magic :)
[11:04] <c0llin> tonyyarusso: still on a blue screen
[11:05] <tonyyarusso> c0llin: Breezy or Dapper?
[11:05] <tamale> you know that blue bar that goes sideways in xp?  mine doesn't even make it across once  hehe
[11:05] <Ryand> mwe: i have on board sound and it shows up in my device manager
[11:05] <rufsketch1> hello again everyone
[11:05] <sg47__> ax9, I noticed that browsing is very very fast with Ubuntu. Now if only I can get vpn working
[11:05] <montbazin> soundray: Jeezas !
[11:05] <c0llin> tonyyarusso: Breezy
[11:05] <tonyyarusso> c0llin: It might also help attract attention if you say at which stage, detail is helpful.
[11:05] <soundray> montbazin: APIC stands for "advanced programmable interrupt controller", but I don't really know what it does.
[11:05] <rufsketch1> tonyyarusso, that fixed it, thnx
[11:05] <bsdfox> hey, any awk/sed guys here..? I'm trying to run acpi -V and parse just the numbers for cpu temp (ie: 52) and nothing else.. I've been trying to figur eit out for a while but can't get it working
[11:05] <Ryand> mwe: I can also play songs without getting any errors, but there is not sound
[11:05] <tonyyarusso> c0llin: ShipIt pressed CD or downloaded/burned?
[11:05] <c0llin> burned
[11:06] <rufsketch1> i have a bigger problem now though.  i cant use sudo.  it keeps telling me my password is incorrect
[11:06] <Ryand> mwe, i have headphones and ive tried all the ports
[11:06] <mwe> Ryand: try alsamixer and make sure master and pcm is unmuted and turned up
[11:06] <munzir> Hi, I just downloaed a .sit.hqx file and I want to extract it, how?
[11:06] <Ryand> mwe: i did that
[11:06] <munzir> rufsketch1: then your password is incorrect ;)
[11:06] <ncp> how do i change the language on ubuntu server for the whole system?
[11:06] <tonyyarusso> c0llin: Did you verify the ISO first to make sure the disk isnt corrupted?
[11:06] <rufsketch1> it is not
[11:06] <montbazin> soundray: Ok, thans I will try to gest some more information about what you just t(old me, Thanks
[11:06] <mwe> Ryand: you are aware that turning up the volume doesn't necesarely mean it's unmuted?
[11:06] <rufsketch1> it is most certainly correct.  i even logged out and logged in recovery as root to make sure it was correct
[11:07] <c0llin> tonyyarusso:how.
[11:07] <Ryand> mwe: how do i tell if its muted then
[11:07] <tonyyarusso> ubotu: tell c0llin about md5sum
[11:07] <ax9> the ubuntu software list on www.distrowatch.com looks usefull and impressive!
[11:07] <mheath> rufsketch1: sudo password != root password.
[11:07] <mwe> Ryand: in alsamixer it should have mm below the channel if it's muted
[11:07] <soundray> munzir: you need proprietary software for the sit. Search freshmeat.net for stuffit
[11:07] <soundray> munzir: for the hqx part, you need the macutils package and a program that is called hexbin, iirc.
[11:07] <mheath> rufsketch1: It wants YOUR password.
[11:08] <Beforewisdom> Hi.  I munged my sudousers file.   I tried using the livecd as a rescue, but once there I can't find /etc on my hardrive ( as opposed to the disc ).  I guess I need to mount my hard drive.  Any ideas how to do this or where to read about it?
[11:08] <Ryand> mwe, nothing has an mm under it
[11:08] <mwe> Ryand: hmm
[11:08] <rufsketch1> wheath, i'v tried my password as well, but it doesnt work
[11:08] <Ryand> mwe, surround and does
[11:08] <Ryand> mwe: but thats it
[11:08] <tonyyarusso> c0llin: One of those links should help you out.  (check your pm from the bot)  I'm guessing something went wrong in the download/burn process.  (I hope.)
[11:08] <rufsketch1> it doesnt do what i ask it to after i put in my password
[11:08] <mheath> rufsketch1: And this is the user that you specified while doing the Ubuntu install?
[11:08] <mwe> Ryand: does it show your sound card name, in alsamixer?
[11:09] <rufsketch1> there is only one user other than root that i specified
[11:09] <rufsketch1> and that is the one i am using
[11:09] <Ryand> mwe: it says intel ICH5
[11:09] <soundray> Beforewisdom: I suggest you boot in recovery mode instead of from the CD. That way, you'll have access to /etc as normal.
[11:09] <mwe> Ryand: is that it?
[11:09] <mwe> Ryand: or is it wrong?
[11:09] <Beforewisdom> soundray..that is great, how do I do that?
[11:09] <Ryand> mwe: hmm, i think so
[11:10] <mwe> Ryand: try lspci in a terminal and look for the sound chip name
[11:10] <Ryand> mwe, ok
[11:10] <munzir> soundray: thanks  a lot I will check
[11:10] <l_> Hi! I somehow managed to b0rk my python installation on a breezy box.
[11:10] <rufsketch1> wheath there is only one user other than root that i specified
[11:10] <rufsketch1> , and that is the one i am using
[11:10] <soundray> Beforewisdom: during the boot, after the BIOS messages, you can get to the grub menu (may need to press Esc). Recovery is an option you can select from that menu.
[11:10] <l_> The help()-function is no longer available, even though i installed python-docutils ...
[11:10] <mheath> rufsketch1: just try "sudo test" for me. Make sure you enter in the password for the current user.
[11:11] <rufsketch1> ok
[11:11] <ax9> whats it called when a command-line is controlled remotely from another computer on the internet?
[11:11] <Ryand> mwe, its right
[11:11] <soundray> ax9: magic?
[11:11] <Beforewisdom> soundray:  Thanks I will give it a shot, bye
[11:11] <tonyyarusso> ax9: ssh is probably what you're getting at.
[11:11] <rufsketch1> wheath i did it
[11:11] <mwe> Ryand: I'm not sure then. try asking in the room again
[11:11] <rufsketch1> it returns nothing
[11:11] <ax9> remote terminol ?
[11:11] <mheath> rufsketch1: Then whats the problem? sudo is working.
[11:12] <Ryand> mwe, ok, thanks
[11:12] <rufsketch1> well, when i tell it to do something, it doesnt
[11:12] <mheath> You just told it to do something.
[11:12] <mheath> And it worked.
[11:12] <tonyyarusso> ax9: That's what that lets you do, yes.  (ssh = secure shell, man ssh for details)
[11:12] <rufsketch1> how do i know it worjked
[11:12] <soundray> ax9: remote termin*a*l
[11:12] <rufsketch1> it didnt return anything
[11:12] <mheath> ....
[11:12] <mheath> It worked.
[11:12] <mheath> Trust me.
[11:12] <rufsketch1> ok
[11:12] <mheath> try to do exactly what you were trying to do again
[11:12] <Ryand> Can anyone help me with my onboard sound problem, its onboard shows up in the alsamixer but i still don hear anything
[11:12] <rufsketch1> how about the update thing
[11:13] <__mikem> last I checked checked shells don't understand plain english, especially spoken and not typed
[11:13] <rufsketch1> it says there are 72 updates.  i click to update, i put in my password
[11:13] <rufsketch1> but nothing returns
[11:13] <_jason> rufsketch1: what does 'groups' return?
[11:13] <rufsketch1> in sudo?
[11:13] <rufsketch1> jason: in sudo?
[11:13] <_jason> rufsketch1: no as your normal user
[11:13] <Ryand> Can anyone help me with my onboard sound problem, its onboard shows up in the alsamixer but i still don hear anything
[11:13] <mheath> _jason: thats irrelevent, we've already established that he can sudo. He's obviously in the admin group.
[11:14] <rufsketch1> oh, just type that into tthe terminal
[11:14] <rufsketch1> let me see
[11:14] <_jason> mheath: sorry, I just joined
[11:14] <rufsketch1> there is only one user other than root that i specified
[11:14] <rufsketch1> rufsketch1 and that is the one i am using
[11:14] <rufsketch1> adm dialout cdrom floppy audio dip video plugdev lpadmin scanner
[11:14] <soundray> Ryand: have you checked all cables? And how are you testing sound?
[11:14] <__mikem> Ryand, Wish I could, but I never had any problem with sound
[11:14] <mheath> rufsketch1: open a console
[11:14] <_jason> mheath: he doesn't appear to be in admin
[11:14] <rufsketch1> sorry, i copied and pasted the wrong thing before
[11:14] <rufsketch1> lol
[11:14] <_jason> rufsketch1: did you do an expert install?
[11:14] <rufsketch1> ok
[11:14] <rufsketch1> an expert install?
[11:14] <Ryand> soundray: i have headphone and ive tried all the ports
[11:15] <Ryand> soundray: even the mic
[11:15] <_jason> rufsketch1: did you get a root account after you installed?  can you su to root?
[11:15] <mheath> rufsketch1: You're making things up.
[11:15] <rufsketch1> im not making anything up
[11:15] <rufsketch1> whats an expert install?
[11:15] <soundray> Ryand: if your sockets are color coded, use the green one.
[11:15] <Ryand> soundray: im getting nothing from any of them
[11:15] <rufsketch1> if it helps.  i wa shaving problems with xserver when i installed ubuntu and i had to reconfigure it...
[11:15] <__mikem> !lart rufsketch1
[11:16] <htrp> what would happen if i disable DHCP ?
[11:16] <soundray> Ryand: use the green one for what follows.
[11:16] <rufsketch1> ARGH!  im confused
[11:16] <__mikem> it must be an l and not a 1
[11:16] <Ryand> soundray: ok
[11:16] <rufsketch1> ok, h/o
[11:16] <mheath> rufsketch1: Or you didn't run my command properly, or you've modified your sudoers file. Theres no way that "sudo test" would have just returned nothing and no errors with a plain sudoers file and a user who's not in admin.
[11:16] <soundray> Ryand: are you sure you don't have any loudspeakers somewhere? Testing sound with headphones can be bad for your ears.
[11:16] <rufsketch1> i opened a console
[11:16] <rufsketch1> not what
[11:16] <Newbieee> Hello! Who knows How do I start ubuntu from a CD-Live...After Booting?
[11:16] <rufsketch1> now what*
[11:16] <rufsketch1> me
[11:16] <Ryand> soundray: yeah, i have them
[11:16] <rufsketch1> mheath
[11:17] <__mikem> Newbiee, just pop the cd in and it should boot automaticly
[11:17] <_jason> rufsketch1: can you su to root?
[11:17] <rufsketch1> i dont know what that means?
[11:17] <arrick> hey all, is ubuntu linux kernel2.2 or higher?
[11:17] <soundray> Ryand: much better if you use those. Now, what are you doing to make it play sound?
[11:17] <rufsketch1> or how to do it
[11:17] <mwe> arrick: 2.6
[11:17] <_jason> rufsketch1: type 'su' and enter the root password.  Tell me if you never set a root password
[11:17] <arrick> newbie: you aveto have the cd in before you boot
[11:17] <arrick> thanks
[11:18] <rufsketch1> i set a root password
[11:18] <Ryand> soundray: im using xmms and sound events in sound prefrences
[11:18] <Zanga> how do i install a program that i have on my desktop
[11:18] <Zanga> ??
[11:18] <__mikem> sudo passwd root to set the root password
[11:18] <arrick> what is GCC 3.2?
[11:18] <htrp> what would happen if i disable DHCP ?
[11:18] <rufsketch1> yeah, it logs me in as root
[11:18] <mwe> arrick: I dont think any linux distro uses a 2.2 kernel these days
[11:18] <mheath> Newbieee: Try just putting in the CD and booting the computer. If the CD doesn't start (You'll see a screen that says Ubuntu), you'll need to modify some settings on your computer's BIOS.
[11:18] <__mikem> um its the gnu compiler collection
[11:18] <arrick> thanks
[11:18] <_jason> rufsketch1: cat /etc/sudoers and copy and paste the contents to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ , then give us a link
[11:18] <arrick> mwe: I'm just goign throught eh hoops to install the lexmark printer drivers kit
[11:18] <Newbieee> mikem It boot but it start in something like dos
[11:19] <rufsketch1> h/o
[11:19] <rufsketch1> before that
[11:19] <rufsketch1> i have an idea
[11:19] <Zanga> _jason how do i install a program that i have on my desktop ?
[11:19] <Newbieee> Cr-Dos
[11:19] <twirpie> whats a windows emulator do anyways? is it so you can run things like windows? run exe's? what???
[11:19] <Zanga> Newbieee , bestiale
[11:19] <mwe> arrick: yes. it's not supported by foomatic and friend. ie linux native?
[11:19] <_jason> Zanga: did you check if the program was in synaptic?
[11:19] <__mikem> !tell twirpie about wine
[11:19] <soundray> Ryand: close xmms for now, just for sanity.
[11:19] <arrick> nope
[11:19] <Zanga> _jason, it`s not in synaptic
[11:19] <Ryand> soundray: done
[11:19] <mwe> arrick: I see
[11:19] <arrick> lexmark x6170
[11:19] <_jason> Zanga: what program?
[11:19] <beuno> simple question, Im trying to do a bash script for backup purposes, how do I know in bash if something is a directory or not?
[11:19] <__mikem> twirpie look at the pm from ubotu
[11:19] <mheath> Newbieee: What does the screen say? (When it looks like DOS)
[11:19] <IkLoma> someone that can help me with this problem? https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/36512
[11:20] <arrick> they dont have a driver for it yet, butI can use their developers kit to create one
[11:20] <soundray> Ryand: in the sound prefs dialog, have you checked "Enable..." and "Play system sounds"?
[11:20] <twirpie> i see so its basicly to run win stuff
[11:20] <__mikem> well, yes and no
[11:20] <erez> beuno: you make a test like this : [ -d file_name ]
[11:20] <fernandokts> Hi! do anyone know how to compilate GRUB in UBUNTU?
[11:20] <Ryand> soundray: yes
[11:20] <AndyA> hi! I have a greeter application crashing error. Can anyone help me?
[11:20] <rufsketch1> ok
[11:20] <rufsketch1> i just did
[11:20] <rufsketch1> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[11:20] <Zanga> Newbieee, intra pe ubuntu-ro
[11:20] <__mikem> there are a lot of windows programs that either won't work under wine yet or need to be sort of forced to run
[11:20] <rufsketch1> im not getting any response
[11:21] <twirpie> is wine the same as win4lin and crossover office?
[11:21] <mwe> arrick: byt lexmark provides a linux driver then?
[11:21] <rufsketch1> jason
[11:21] <Installer36> arrick > one person said to try the Dell 960 drivers...but most said not available
[11:21] <beuno> erez: can you be more specific on how to use it?
[11:21] <_jason> rufsketch1: cat /etc/sudoers and put it on pastebin, why are you trying to install with apt?
[11:21] <arrick> mwe: just the developers kit for linux
[11:21] <soundray> Ryand: now here's a small bug I experience here. In order to activate those checks, I have to close and re-open the dialog. Could you do that, too, pls.
[11:21] <__mikem> its not easy, your better of using vmware to run windows as a guest os under linux, or just avoiding emulation all togeather
[11:21] <mheath> Newbieee: I can't help you if you don't answer any of my questions.
[11:21] <mwe> arrick: don't you think it's hard?
[11:21] <rufsketch1> _jason I'm trying to get nvidia drivers to work.  and this is how the online tut says to do it
[11:22] <__mikem> wine not like win4lin or crossover office
[11:22] <_jason> rufsketch1: we have to fix your sudo first
[11:22] <beuno> erez: this is what Ive got: http://pastebin.com/623927
[11:22] <rufsketch1> ok
[11:22] <Ryand> soundray: it is enabled
[11:22] <rufsketch1> but that means its broken right?
[11:22] <arrick> I don't know, goin to give it a shot though, Havent been to 4 years of computer programming and developing for notihung
[11:22] <soundray> Ryand: did you close and re-open?
[11:22] <rufsketch1> if i dont get a response
[11:22] <__mikem> wine is just a compatibility layer, the latter is used to literally run windows under linux (yes that does sound strange i Know) so you can use things like word
[11:22] <beuno> erez I want to check if it's a dir, and then Ill zip it and move it
[11:22] <Ryand> soundray: yep
[11:22] <_jason> rufsketch1: yesm we'll fix it as soon as you show me your sudoers :)
[11:22] <rufsketch1> lol
[11:22] <rufsketch1> ok
[11:22] <AndyA> If I boot recovery mode and then run startx I got Gnome running but with an error "Failed initializing HAL" and withought login.
[11:22] <AndyA> What is HAL?
[11:22] <mheath> IkLoma: That bug report says that sound is broken. Its been submitted because that user is looking to get it fix. Either the user is wrong, or there is very little anyone in here will be able to do to help you.
[11:22] <soundray> Ryand: can you play any of the sounds you select there, now?
[11:22] <twirpie> hmmm might be good to run my mirc script then right?
[11:23] <beuno> Hardware Abstraction Layer
[11:23] <__mikem> twirpie check out www.winehq.com
[11:23] <erez> beuno: file_name is the thing you want, you make a test like: if [ -d file ] ; then ...
[11:23] <__mikem> for more info
[11:23] <Ryand> soundray, i can click play, but no sound
[11:23] <twirpie> k
[11:23] <AndyA> thx... now how do I fix that?
[11:23] <rufsketch1> it says permission denied _jason
[11:23] <__mikem> rufsketch1 do a chmod 777 on the file
[11:23] <_jason> rufsketch1: didn't you type 'su' and then your root password?
[11:23] <rufsketch1> oh
[11:23] <rufsketch1> lol
[11:23] <arrick> What is GCC 3.2?

[11:24] <ubuntu> Hi.  How can I gain access to my hard drive while using the livecd?
[11:24] <mwe> arrick: it's the c compiler, old version
[11:24] <Ryand> soundray: yes, im looking at alsmixer right now
[11:24] <__mikem> ubotu you have to mount it, but I am not sure how (it can be done though)
[11:24] <ubotu> __mikem: I'm sorry, i don't know what you're talking about
[11:24] <Marbles> anyone know where i can get software enabling me to recieve files from the computer via bluetooth
[11:24] <TLE> Hey, does anybody know of a commandline tool like cp, but with "status output"/"progress output"  ?
[11:24] <mwe> Marbles: it should be installed with ubuntu I believe. I haven't used it though
[11:25] <arrick> mwe: man the whole requirements for their developer package is outdated
[11:25] <soundray> Ryand: does clicking one of those play buttons log an error to ~/.xsession-errors?
[11:25] <arrick> check this out
[11:25] <Joetheodd> Hey, I just installed a USB cordless mouse and it's not working. It worked just fine in Windows, though. Do I have to restart or something?

[11:25] <Marbles> mwe: i use the bluetooth file sharing software that came with ubuntu but at the moment i only know how to send from phone to computer
[11:25] <JoeBlow> Hi.  How can I gain access to my hard drive while using the livecd?
[11:26] <__mikem> JoeBlow you need to mount your hard drive while you are running the live cd, I am not sure how to do it though

[11:28] <rufsketch1> _jason, i dont think i did an expert install

[11:31] <bsdfox> htrp: not for me
[11:31] <_jason> rufsketch1: now read that page about how to disable root
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> htrp,  i perfer firefox for other reasons.

[11:31] <rufsketch1> lol, i understand what sudo is.  just not how to use it :-P
[11:31] <rufsketch1> haha
[11:31] <bsdfox> ozzloy, you in gnome? just go to the keyboard bindings

[11:32] <soundray> Ryand: we're through all the obvious stuff. In alsamixer, do you get any settings to do with IEC?
[11:32] <beuno> erez, that URL did help  :D
[11:32] <Ryand> soundray: where would that be?
[11:32] <arrick> mwe: a guy by the name of brenner helped me get the server going, but he didnt know printers on linux
[11:32] <despedes> hi!

[11:33] <__mikem> ati and ubuntu don't mix
[11:33] <arrick> send it in a pm please
[11:34] <soundray> Ryand: according to http://linux.iuplog.com/default.asp?item=94639 it might help to disable them.
[11:34] <despedes> and it stills running the mesa driver
[11:34] <Ryand> soundray: im not sure how, let me try

[11:36] <AndyA> hi. when I boot regulary I got "greeter application crashing..." error, and when I boot recovery mode and then run startx I got "Failed initializing HAL" error. Can someone please help me?
[11:36] <despedes> OpenGL vendor string: Mesa project: www.mesa3d.org
[11:36] <despedes> OpenGL renderer string: Mesa GLX Indirect
[11:36] <despedes> OpenGL version string: 1.2 (1.5 Mesa 6.4.1)
[11:36] <justinl> hey. i have a really dumb question.. is there some page where i can get hte package list for the default ubuntu installation.. like what wm it uses and such?
[11:36] <__mikem> I don't know how a live LINUX cd boots to DOS
[11:36] <mwe> justinl: it uses gnome for default
[11:36] <justinl> thx
[11:36] <mwe> __mikem: me neither
[11:37] <__mikem> Just because your computer is in text mode does NOT mean you are in DOS
[11:37] <psusi> mwe, the ubuntu live cd has nothing whatsoever to do with dos...
[11:37] <mwe> __mikem: but that's what the dude said :)
[11:37] <mwe> psusi: I know
[11:37] <arrick> thats right
[11:37] <soundray> Some people think textmode=DOS.  :P we are here to fix that.. one way or another.
[11:39] <psusi> and unless they are still using 9x then they have nothing to do with dos either
[11:39] <soundray> Joetheodd, Dr_Willis: That's the spirit of Ubuntu! ;)
[11:39] <Dr_Willis> soundray,  Tough Love!
[11:39] <Installer36> Arrick > this is the driver that mwe showed you
[11:39] <__mikem> LONG LIVE UBUNTU! LOL
[11:39] <arrick> ok, thanks
[11:39] <Joetheodd> soundray: ROFLLOLOLOL
[11:39] <mwe> psusi: you can run plain old dos in xp with command.com. it's there :)
[11:40] <arrick> erez: englich is what I said a while ago. hehe
[11:40] <AndyR> lo all
[11:40] <__mikem> actually, most people don't realize that you are not running dos when you run command.com but rather you are running what is called the "windows shell"
[11:40] <soundray> Is it true that "Ubuntu" is African for "I can't configure Debian"?
[11:40] <mwe> soundray: yes ;)
[11:40] <Ryand> soundray: you still with me?
[11:40] <__mikem> soundray no
[11:40] <__mikem> lol
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> soundray,  its african for 'All your base are belong to us"
[11:41] <erez> arrick: ok
[11:41] <soundray> Ryand: yes. I didn't read a reply from you re. IEC -- sorry if I missed it.
[11:41] <psusi> __mikem, actually, the command.com IS the msdos shell
[11:41] <Joetheodd> soundray: I think it means humanity or something, but we can go with that
[11:41] <psusi> __mikem, of course, you don't use that on nt/2k/xp since there's cmd.exe, which is the 32 bit command processor
[11:41] <Ryand> soundray: no problem, i think its set to PCM now
[11:41] <__mikem> actually, I dont understand why we are debating about windows in here anyway
[11:41] <soundray> Ryand: still no sound from the Prefs dialog?
[11:41] <Ongo> hi. when I boot regulary I got "greeter application crashing..." error, and when I boot recovery mode and then run startx I got "Failed initializing HAL" error. Can someone please help me?
[11:41] <ziza> hi
[11:42] <Ryand> soundray: nope
[11:42] <psusi> old habbit I guess... used to be an NT kernel hacker
[11:42] <esc_ape> does anyone know how to pull up a mac address?
[11:42] <arrick> erez: and I still didnt spell it right
[11:42] <arrick> hehe
[11:42] <psusi> esc_ape, ifconfig
[11:42] <Dr_Willis> Ongo,   may be worth wile checking the forums/wiki for that error. and also try reconfigrung your X display.
[11:42] <__mikem> heres an embarasing confession, I used to think a "mac address" was the IP address of a mac
[11:42] <soundray> Ryand: what does 'sudo modprobe snd-pcm-oss' give you?
[11:43] <esc_ape> psusi - would this be it? Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:12:18:43:B7:76
[11:43] <rufsketch1> anyone know where i can get a few good ubuntu themes?
[11:43] <kingspawn> __mikem: score ;)
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> __mikem,  or the address of Mr Mac.
[11:43] <esc_ape> art.gnome.org
[11:43] <__mikem> lol
[11:43] <psusi> esc_ape, yea
[11:43] <Ryand> soundray: nothing happend
[11:43] <Dr_Willis> rufsketch1,  you mean GNOME themes. :P
[11:43] <rufsketch1> thnx
[11:43] <rufsketch1> yeah
[11:43] <rufsketch1> gnome
[11:43] <rufsketch1> lol
[11:44] <ziza> question: How do i find out which patches were applied to the Ubuntu Dapper Drake kernel? Is there some info page regarding this?
[11:44] <__mikem> I actually have a "glossy" version of the default ubuntu theme
[11:44] <esc_ape> psusi - thanks.
[11:44] <Newbieee> mikem and mwe...that`s why I am asking beacause I am so Stup*id...with Windows..and try Ubuntu..And after booting It start CR-DOS
[11:44] <esc_ape> I still am figuring out the whole mac address thing. a computer, modem, and wireless card all have mac addresses, right?
[11:44] <twirpie> hmmm i downloaded some .tar files from xchat lastnight that finished completely but i cant seem to find them :( is tar files not reconized?
[11:44] <Newbieee> I should I know if is not DOS or not?
[11:44] <soundray> Ryand: then it has loaded the OSS compatibility layer without complaint. We can now test sound the ancient Unix way. Do you have a .WAV file lying around somewhere? Preferably a short sound.
[11:44] <mwe> ziza: if you running it, downloading the kernel source package pulls the patches as well I believe
[11:45] <__mikem> Newbieee noone is calling you stupid
[11:45] <arrick> esc_ape: the pc does not have a mac address
[11:45] <__mikem> we don't do that yere
[11:45] <psusi> Newbieee, what the heck is CR-DOS?
[11:45] <__mikem> unless we want to get banned anyway
[11:45] <Ryand> soundray, yes, let me look for a second
[11:45] <arrick> the net components do
[11:45] <Dr_Willis> You mean DR-Dos ?
[11:45] <rambo3> or is it kernel headers
[11:45] <rufsketch1> awwww
[11:45] <__mikem> Maybe DR-SPOCK
[11:45] <rufsketch1> all they have is backgrounds and splashj screens
[11:45] <__mikem> lol
[11:45] <Newbieee> yes sorry DR-Dos
[11:45] <rufsketch1> splash*
[11:45] <ziza> mwe: this is true, but I simply want to know which patches
[11:45] <esc_ape> arrick - the netword cards do, right?
[11:46] <arrick> esc_ape: yes
[11:46] <Newbieee> It`s start in a text screen with some commands...
[11:46] <rufsketch1> oh nvm
[11:46] <psusi> esc_ape, network interfaces have mac addresses... so wireless cards, ethernet cards, etc
[11:46] <jenda> Why can't I set my preferred applications > browser to custom command (firefox %s)? It will always set back to firefox
[11:46] <Newbieee> and I don`t know how to start the Cd-Live
[11:46] <Ryand> soundray: i have a wave
[11:46] <mwe> ziza: I don't know where to check it otherwise. that's what I did when I wanted to find out in breezy a while back
[11:46] <__mikem> does the prompt you see end in a '$' or a '#' newbieee
[11:46] <psusi> Newbieee, dr-dos is not on the ubuntu live cd
[11:46] <HymnToLife> lin clo
[11:46] <arrick> wireless ones will give the mac right on the outside, and if it is internal, you can normally find it printed next to one of the chips on the card, or even use the interface if it is installed already
[11:47] <__mikem> Newbieee: does the prompt you see end in a '$' or a '#'
[11:47] <rybuntu> what do mp3 players show up as under /dev?
[11:47] <twirpie> hmmm i downloaded some .tar files from xchat lastnight that finished completely but i cant seem to find them :( is tar files not reconized?
[11:47] <soundray> Ryand: on the commandline, do 'sudo cat file.wav >/dev/dsp'. Be ready to Ctrl-C quickly in case it sounds unbearable :)
[11:47] <mwe> rybuntu: it depends
[11:47] <jenda> And of course, this way it doesn't work, since I installed 1.5 (for example, in Xchat)
[11:47] <Newbieee> now Is asking me something to choose...like /MUX.../BN-16 ..etc
[11:47] <ziza> mwe: I'd like to compile my own kernel with suspend2 patches, because I really badly need that feature
[11:47] <lastent> i can run my amule, can anybody help me?
[11:47] <mwe> rybuntu: if it's working right it should automount
[11:47] <__mikem> I don't like the sound of what Newbiee is discribing
[11:47] <rybuntu> mwe: im trying to mount mine under vmware its a pmc
[11:47] <psusi> ziza, there's a howto on the forums for that
[11:47] <ziza> mwe: i'm asking about the patches Ubuntu devs applied, because I want to be sure not to miss something important
[11:48] <__mikem> Newbiee does the prompt you are in end in a dollar sign or a pound simble
[11:48] <mwe> ziza: I use it too, but a in complete custom kernel
[11:48] <DonVitoCorleone> sers
[11:48] <DonVitoCorleone> s
[11:48] <psusi> ziza, just install the kernel source package and it includes all the patches
[11:48] <esc_ape> arrick - thanks for the info. basically, I am having disconnectivity problems with my cable modem (I suspect). I read that my isp requires users to "clone the mac address of the modem in your router." so im trying to figure out which mac address that would be & how to enter that info into the router.
[11:48] <redguy> ziza: maybe people at #ubuntu-motu can help you?
[11:48] <Newbieee> Mikem i don`t know...I will try again and tell yoo
[11:48] <arrick> esc_ape: who is your provider/
[11:48] <esc_ape> comcast
[11:49] <twirpie> anyone?
[11:49] <Ongo> hi. when I boot regulary I got "greeter application crashing..." error, and when I boot recovery mode and then run startx I got "Failed initializing HAL" error. Can someone please help me?
[11:49] <psusi> esc_ape, sounds like bogus advice to me.... the modem has its own mac addy and your pc or router has a different one.. that's how the network operates
[11:49] <arrick> esc_ape: and what type of router do you use?
[11:49] <lastent> can anybody help me running the amule??
[11:49] <__mikem> soundray, we should find out, particularly where he got the cd
[11:49] <twirpie> i cant find my tar files :(
[11:49] <esc_ape> linksys wrt54g
[11:49] <Ryand> soundray cat file.wav means the name of my wav file right?
[11:49] <mwe> Ongo: I don't think hald is started in recovery mode
[11:50] <psusi> esc_ape, and what exactly do you mean by connectivity issues?
[11:50] <soundray> Ryand: yes.
[11:50] <__mikem> My brother is a hard core fedora fan, I gave him an ubuntu pressed cd to try, he says he still likes fedora better, (I can't imagine why)
[11:50] <ozzloy> what should i be googling? 'www' key doesn't open firefox.  links in other applications no longer open firefox
[11:50] <Installer36> Ongo > when you boot recovery what happens when you type exit
[11:50] <arrick> esc_ape:you can go to the admin page, <IP_ADDRESS> and got to the advanced page find mac clone and that is where you put in the mac of  the primary pc on your network
[11:50] <rybuntu> wme: it wont automount
[11:50] <mwe> Ongo: you need to supply some log file info ( /var/log/gdm/* ) on pastebin
[11:50] <soundray> Ryand: the path and the filename, actually, unless the file is in your present working directory.
[11:50] <twirpie> bah i need a coffee..... anyone else want one?
[11:50] <twirpie> :)
[11:50] <mwe> Ongo: and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[11:51] <psusi> in general you do not want to mess with mac addresses
[11:51] <soundray> twirpie: yes please. Lotsa cream, lotsa sugar.
[11:51] <redguy> lastent: did you install amule from the repositories, or did you download it by yoursefl and compile it (./configure, make, make install)?
[11:51] <patrick52222> just got the linux mag april issue
[11:51] <Ryand> soundray like this "sudo qwe.wav /home/ryan/Desktop"
[11:51] <esc_ape> psusi - my cable connection will slow down so much that I cannot do anything online. in order to "get back online" I have to unplug/replug in the modem & router...sometimes reboot both computers (both running ubuntu)
[11:51] <arrick> esc_ape: i am attempting to dcc chat with you, you can accept it
[11:51] <psusi> esc_ape, mucking with mac addresses isn't going to help you
[11:51] <patrick52222> but i cant seem to install realsoft 3D as a user and in root it dont insatll
[11:51] <arrick> that way we dont hav a lot of unnecessry traffic here
[11:52] <psusi> esc_ape, how often do you need to reboot the modem to fix this?
[11:52] <psusi> esc_ape, once a day?  once a week?  or once an hour?
[11:52] <rambo3> aren't mac adresses configured buy card manufacturors?
[11:52] <rambo3> built in
[11:52] <esc_ape> psusi - pretty random - although lately its been 2x a day
[11:52] <lastent> redguy repositories
[11:52] <psusi> rambo3, yes... they are generally hard wired by the manufacturer to be a globally unique address, but most modern hardware allows you to override it
[11:52] <soundray> Ryand, no. "sudo cat /home/ryan/Desktop/qwe.wav >/dev/dsp", if qwe is a soundfile on your desktop.
[11:52] <Ryand> soundray that did nothing, i dont think i put in the right command
[11:53] <redguy> lastent: hmm, so what is your problem?
[11:53] <psusi> esc_ape, ok... that has nothing to do with mac addresses... just to make sure, you have one pc plugged into a router plugged into the cable modem right?
[11:53] <Ryand> soundray it went nuts
[11:53] <lastent> red guy i can't get the servers
[11:53] <lastent> redguy i can't get the servers
[11:53] <arrick> esc_ape: have you updated the firmware on your router?
[11:53] <mwe> soundray: I don't think you can sudo cat >
[11:53] <soundray> Ryand: mwe is right.
[11:53] <Ryand> soundray: all kinds of stuff flew through the terminal and my motherboard speaker went nuts
[11:53] <psusi> esc_ape, you need to complain to comcrap and have them send out a field tech to inspect the line
[11:54] <esc_ape> psusi - yes, I have it all plugged in correctly
[11:54] <soundray> Ryand: try without the sudo
[11:54] <mwe> soundray: I think you need sudo su -c 'cat foo > bar'
[11:54] <esc_ape> arrick - firmware is up to date
[11:54] <redguy> lastent: hmm, you mean the server list?
[11:54] <arrick> ok
[11:54] <Joetheodd> mwe: sure you can, it just doesn't do anything other than normal.
[11:54] <lastent> redguy yes
[11:54] <psusi> esc_ape, though yea, removing the router from the picture for a while to test would be good.. make sure that isn't the problem
[11:54] <psusi> esc_ape, but it isn't very likely
[11:54] <psusi> esc_ape, especially if you can fix it by just reooting the modem
[11:54] <mwe> Joetheodd: um. I meant it wont pipe the output with root privs
[11:55] <esc_ape> psusi - yeah, I tried that already. just a direct line to the primary computer. still died.
[11:55] <soundray> Ryand: pls try "cat /home/ryan/Desktop/qwe.wav >/dev/dsp"
[11:55] <mwe> Joetheodd: or redirect it, rather
[11:55] <esc_ape> so, im thinking comcast sucks, no?
[11:55] <psusi> esc_ape, generally if you can reboot the modem to fix it, then the headend sometimes assigns your modem a bad channel that doesn't work for shit.. rebooting it gets it a new channel
[11:55] <Ongo> Installer36  I'm not sure. When I boot as recovery I am root. When I type exit I think I became user. But I'm not sure.
[11:55] <Ryand> soundray without sudo it said device or resource busy
[11:55] <psusi> esc_ape, yes... comcrap sucks
[11:55] <redguy> lastent: hmm, sorry can't help you with that. But I'm sure google can
[11:55] <soundray> Ryand: ah, that's interesting.
[11:56] <rufsketch1> hey, once i download all the update files
[11:56] <rufsketch1> what do i do?
[11:56] <__mikem> I use a cable modem, it is loads better than any dsl or phone line modem
[11:56] <esc_ape> I wonder if they send a tech out if he'll have problems fixing this...considering im not using windows on either computer...both ubuntu
[11:56] <lastent> redguy do u have a server.met file in .amule?
[11:56] <psusi> esc_ape, so you'll need to call and complain to them... a lot.
[11:56] <Installer36> Ongo > when iboot recovery ittakes me to root then I type in exit and it will boot
[11:56] <redguy> lastent: I am not using amule anymore, sorry
[11:56] <Installer36> finish booting
[11:56] <psusi> esc_ape, the morons on the phone generally have a problem with that... so you have to lie and pretend you're using windows... the guy that comes out generally doesn't touch the pc, only services the line
[11:56] <soundray> Ryand: there is probably a hanging program somewhere that's hogging your sound device.
[11:57] <arrick> esc_ape: did what I told you help you out?
[11:57] <twirpie> i cant find my tar files someone help me? :(
[11:57] <psusi> esc_ape, in fact... I never let them touch my pc ;)
[11:57] <arrick> I wanted to verify that I had the right information
[11:57] <rambo3> Installer36: what
[11:57] <Ryand> soundray: its a fresh install, i dont know how
[11:57] <arrick> It turns out I did
[11:57] <redguy> twirpie: could you give more detail?
[11:57] <soundray> Mmm, twirpie, that's just what the doctor ordered. Thanks!
[11:57] <Ongo> Installer36 Is that important?
[11:57] <Newbieee> Ok...after I bootig It`s start Caldera Dr-Dos 7.03
[11:57] <soundray> Ryand: it may have happened during one of your attempts to get it going.
[11:57] <__mikem> speak of the devil
[11:58] <__mikem> Um Newbieee, where did you get this live CD
[11:58] <soundray> Ryand: xmms does that kind of thing occasionally.
[11:58] <twirpie> i downloaded two .tar files lastnight and i cant find them anywhere even though they did finish
[11:58] <Installer36> rambo3> what?
[11:58] <leif_> anyone here useing nvidia 7676 drivers and xorg 7?
[11:58] <esc_ape> arrick - thanks for the help. direct connect didnt go thru for some reason...
[11:58] <Newbieee> from ubuntu site United Kindom
[11:58] <__mikem> BEcause, it shouldn't do that
[11:58] <twirpie> yw soundray
[11:58] <soundray> Ryand: I suggest you disable the gnome sound server (in that dialog) and reboot.
[11:58] <Hexidigital> twirpie, did you check your home folder?
[11:58] <twirpie> yes
[11:58] <redguy> twirpie: try locate or find from the consloe if you remember the filenames
[11:58] <arrick> the default password is ' admin' unless you have changed it already
[11:58] <Ryand> soundray: ok, ill be right back
[11:59] <arrick> whats you IP address?
[11:59] <Newbieee> Is a corrupted Cd
[11:59] <twirpie> i do but whats the command?
[11:59] <Hexidigital> twirpie, what browser? firefox?
[11:59] <happyone> hello
[11:59] <luisvillegas> hi!
[11:59] <esc_ape> psusi - next time the cable goes out, I'm callling & raising hell
[11:59] <twirpie> xchat
[11:59] <Newbieee> ?
[11:59] <Hexidigital> no, what browser did you use for downloading?
[11:59] <arrick> esc_ape: tats why I switched to DSL
[11:59] <__mikem> No, I the cd you have physically in your drive is NOT the ubuntu live cd
[11:59] <RFTim> why does Ubuntu live cd boot with 640X480 resolution?
[11:59] <psusi> esc_ape, aye... do that...
[11:59] <twirpie> none i used xchat to dl it
[11:59] <rybuntu> does anyone know what a usb device shows up as under dev? if its not support will it not show up at all?
[12:00] <redguy> Newbieee: can you give us the webpage you downloaded it from?
