[05:09] <harisund> fuci_: on Windows 2000 you can download a small binary .exe file called putty (http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/latest/x86/putty.exe) and SSH to your home computer using that.
[05:09] <fuci_> harisund: is it possible to put any password-protection for my computer? So not anyone can use it?
[05:09] <harisund> fuci_: SSH uses password protection, in the sense that you will need a username and password to log on to it.
[05:09] <harisund> fuci_: that will be the same as your own user name and password.
[05:09] <fuci_> Ah, ok.
[05:10] <xxpor> where can you download edgy eft?
[05:10] <harisund> fuci_: anyway, next thing is something called screen. Think of it as a multiple window manager for the terminal. Let's have a live demonstration of it. What IRC client are you using?
[05:10] <benje> hello
[05:10] <fuci_> harisund: Irssi currently
[05:11] <benje> did someone use  mcp 430 with intergeated firewall ?
[05:11] <harisund> fuci_: ok. I am guessing you are running irssi in a gnome-terminal, xterm or something?
[05:11] <fuci_> Gnome-terminal
[05:11] <benje> how to configure it to send packet ? thank
[05:12] <harisund> fuci_: ok let's do one thing. Quit your irssi. Within your gnome -terminal command prompt then start screen. Once you execute 'screen' you will be shown a licence and then you can hit enter. You will once again reach the command prompt. In that command prompt, restart your irssi and come back. Is that ok?
[05:12] <fuci_> Yep, brb.
[05:12] <Jimmey> How do I mount something ( A USB device ) so that I can write to it?
[05:13] <dr_willis> Jimmey,  whats the filesystem on the device?
[05:13] <Jimmey> fat16
[05:13] <harisund> Jimmey: typically when you plug it in, you should see a icon on your desktop.
[05:13] <Jimmey> harisund, I do, but it's read only
[05:13] <xxpor> Jimmey: try mkdir /mnt/sda1 && mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
[05:13] <Jimmey> When I try to format it, weird things happen.
[05:13] <xxpor> ok
[05:13] <fuci> harisund: Ok, I exited irssi, typed 'screen' accepted (pressed enter) and restarted irssi, did I do it right. :p?
[05:14] <user__> How do I run a program from terminal?
[05:14] <xxpor> is it "locked"
[05:14] <dr_willis> you format befor you mount things.
[05:14] <harisund> fuci: yep you did. Now you are in what is called a screen window.
[05:14] <Jimmey> dr_willis, it mounts itself when I try to format it, and gparted gets an error.
[05:14] <fuci> harisund: Ok, sounds neat.
[05:14] <dr_willis> Jimmey,  right click and use unmount.
[05:14] <xxpor> user__: just type in the program you want to run
[05:14] <Jimmey> dr_willis, there's only "Eject"
[05:14] <lmosher> Anyone here running fglrx 8.28.8?
[05:15] <dr_willis> eject it then. :P or go to the shell and use sudo umount /media/whateverthenameofthedeviceis
[05:15] <harisund> fuci: basically screen allows you to have multiple windows within the terminal. Once you are done working, you can detach screen, and then go to another terminal (say, through SSH from another machine) and just reattach the screen and everything that was running on the screen (all the windows) are shown once again to you
[05:15] <user__> xxpor: I create a console program with FB, and I run it, but it doesn't work. The program is named "construct".
[05:15] <benje> or how to desactiv the firewall ?
[05:15] <fuci> harisund: ok :o So now it's done?
[05:16] <Jimmey> dr_willis, right
[05:16] <fuci> harisund: I can connect to my comp. and use irssi from distance :p?
[05:16] <Jimmey> dr_willis, then I try to format it
[05:16] <harisund> fuci: So let's give a try. All screen commands begin by typing Ctrl+a together and then giving a command.
[05:16] <FreeMason> can anyone help me setup wpa with ipw2200 on dapper? the tutorial on the web forums is outdated and doesn't work
[05:16] <Jimmey> dr_willis, and it mounts itself when I try that
[05:16] <Gun_Smoke> Back agian this morning for the same problem I've had for a couple of days now.  I can not start Gnome Partition Editor, OR Disks Manager.  I tried both of them last night around 11pm EST and let the wheel spin until I got up this morning.  For both, I get pass the password and then NOTHING.. The wheel just spins and spins..
[05:16] <xxpor> user__: if its in the current directory you need to type ./construct
[05:16] <harisund> fuci: first, you have irssi on one window, right?
[05:16] <fuci> Yes
[05:16] <user__> ahhh...thank you.
[05:16] <xxpor> np
[05:16] <harisund> fuci: create another window within your screen by typing Ctrl+a first, and then c.
[05:16] <user__> xxpor: thank you. I forgot.
[05:16] <dr_willis> Jimmey,   how are you 'formating it' and what do you want to format it to?
[05:17] <xxpor> user__: :)
[05:17] <harisund> fuci: oops....
[05:17] <Jimmey> dr_willis, with Gparted, and fat15
[05:17] <Jimmey> *fat16
[05:17] <harisund> oh God!
[05:17] <fuci> harisund: ok, and i figured out I can jump from terminal to terminal with ctrl+a and the number of the window
[05:17] <fuci> :p
[05:17] <MSch> hi, i tried turning of swap space and suddenly my system feels way more responsive and even applications noticeable start faster. is there any downside to deactivating swap?
[05:17] <harisund> fuci: smart. I was worried I locked you out.
[05:17] <fuci> :p
[05:17] <sioux> people ubuntu is a blond bath...   ndiswrapper too crash the system. SUSE diden't!
[05:17] <harisund> fuci: Here are some commands:
[05:17] <dr_willis> you just said its allready fat16? so you basicially want to reformat it to be  blank? what is this anyway? a usb hard drive?
[05:17] <fuci> harisund: ok
[05:17] <Ng> fuci: ctrl-a ?   will show you a bunch of options available to you :)
[05:17] <benje> a link ? :)
[05:17] <apakatt> is it possible to "downgrade" my system? i have installed kde 3.5.4 but its so buggy so i want to downgrade everything so it uses the packages from the official ubuntu-mirrors.
[05:17] <fuci> Ng: ok. Thanks for the hint :)
[05:17] <Jimmey> dr_willis, it's an MP3 player, and mid-format, it mounts itself :|
[05:17] <xxpor> omg 1hr before drake is downloaded
[05:18] <Ng> apakatt: it's really seriously not a good idea
[05:18] <FreeMason> is there a bug with the kernel in dapper and ipw2200 requiring a patch for wpa to work?
[05:18] <harisund> fuci: Ctrl+a w : List out windows. Ctrl+a A: Name the current window as something. Ctrl+a ": Show windows interactiveyl
[05:18] <xxpor> im going to die
[05:18] <bobovski> man, I'm confused. Firefox says it's using mplayerplug-in.so and it's working but I cannot fine that file anywhere
[05:18] <Ng> apakatt: but if you remove your configs and stuff it may well be ok
[05:18] <bobovski> er, fine=find
[05:18] <Jimmey> bobovski, it's probably somewhere in /home/yourusername/.mozilla/
[05:18] <dr_willis> Jimmey,  now theres an interesting statement.. you are saying as its formating - its automounting at about 50% or so done?
[05:19] <OoberMick> bobovski: try /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/
[05:19] <apakatt> Ng: ok. well, is there any way to do it except removing and installing again package by package?
[05:19] <bobovski> Jimmey: first place I looked, nowhere in there. I did locate and whereis and nothing
[05:19] <Jimmey> dr_willis, yep.
[05:19] <fuci> harisund: This is cool :o I like it
[05:19] <harisund> fuci: cool.... now here's the fun part.
[05:19] <harisund> fuci: So on window 0 you are running IRSSI, right?
[05:19] <bobovski> OoberMick: there it is, thanks!
[05:19] <harisund> fuci: let's assume on Window 1 you are running a kernel compilation, and on Window 3 you are running some code. Ok?
[05:19] <Ng> apakatt: that depends how you did the upgrade
[05:19] <OoberMick> bobovski: np
[05:19] <dr_willis> Jimmey,  check dmesg output. it could be the usb ports are some how resetting. ive seen that befor on some people in here..  personally, id close out gnome and do all the work from the shell/console. that way gnome aint messing with you.
[05:19] <Jimmey> dr_willis, that's exactly what happens
[05:20] <Jimmey> dr_willis, could I work that from another tty?
[05:20] <apakatt> Ng:  i used a mirror from this page http://kubuntu.org/announcements/kde-354.php
[05:20] <fuci> harisund: I only really need Irssi to be run from away, and it's apparently running on window1
[05:20] <dr_willis> Jimmey,  thats  a problem ive not seen personally, and not sure how to properly fix.
[05:20] <harisund> dr_willis: think stopping gnome-volume-manager would help?
[05:20] <fuci> harisund: ctrl+a w lists 0 as bash
[05:20] <dr_willis> harisund,  i tend to just make fstab entrys for everything. :P and disable auto-mounting as much as i can.  Now to close your screen you would do 'ctrl+a d'. Then to reattach it you would do 'screen -r'
[05:21] <Ng> apakatt: if you put all your apt sources back to regular dapper ones you may well be able to just reinstall some core KDE stuff and have it grab the rest, but you are probably going to have to do a lot of package-by-package stuff I would think
[05:21] <Jimmey> dr_willis, I'm shifting to another tty
[05:21] <Jimmey> What should I do from there?
[05:21] <fuci> harisund: ok
[05:21] <harisund> So now, you are finished with your chatting. Then let's say you go to school. You would use putty to login to yur home achine. Then on the command line you would do 'screen -r'
[05:22] <apakatt> Ng:  ok well I give it a shot. thanks
[05:22] <harisund> fuci: it's calling it bash, because initially a bash shell was opened. Do a "ctrl+a A" and rename it to IRSSI for convenience.
[05:22] <FreeMason> can anyone help?
[05:22] <fuci> harisund: Ok.
[05:22] <waspius> i changed my keyboard layout and managed to enable 4 out of 8 special keys..but the sound control buttond work on mplayer but not on xxms..any help ?
[05:22] <Jimmey> dr_willis, what should I do from the console?
[05:22] <delaney> When using windows i can use nero to burn a VCD from a .MPG file. Does anyone know how or if its even possible to do that in UBUNTU
[05:22] <dr_willis> Jimmey,  well you need to close out GNOME so its not auto mounting stuff. ie: log out of X.    plug in the device. see what device its showing up on. (sudo fdisk -l) or check (dmesg) then just mkfs.vfat (or mkfs.fat /dev/sda1) or whatever device it is.
[05:23] <dr_willis> Jimmey,  but if the usb buss is still resetting - this is not going to fix that problem.
[05:23] <Jimmey> Okay
[05:23] <harisund> fuci: This way, you would always be logged in to irssi. You could tell irssi /leave or something, and irssi will log all messages that have a 'fuci' in them,
[05:23] <fuci> Nice. :)
[05:24] <fuci> Ahh
[05:24] <fuci> What port do I use for SSH? Default?
[05:24] <harisund> fuci 22, yeah default.
[05:24] <fuci> Ok
[05:24] <harisund> You can try it from your Windows machine if you want.
[05:24] <fuci> Yeh
[05:24] <Determinist> delaney, you can use nerolinux... i suppose
[05:25] <orbin> delaney: k3b is probably your best bet
[05:25] <Determinist> delaney, but do try k3b first
[05:25] <delaney> Determinist,  saddly that isnt freeware or opensource is it?
[05:25] <Determinist> delaney, nope, but k3b is
[05:25] <bobovski> anyone have experience getting windows media to work in opera?
[05:25] <Determinist> delaney, sudo apt-get install k3b
[05:25] <delaney> Determinist,  k3b didnt seem to want to.  I kept get "this is not an image file" comments
[05:26] <FreeMason> does anyone use wpa on ubuntu with a 2915abg minipci card?
[05:26] <fuci> harisund: thank you for helping me out!
[05:26] <Jimmey> dr_willis, so I should close Gnome completely?
[05:26] <Determinist> delaney, sadly i'll have to say RTFM. there has to be something about it in the help files for k3b. or try google.
[05:26] <harisund> fuci: Sure. I use screen+irssi+SSH all the time :)
[05:26] <delaney> Determinist,  no worries mate thanks for trying
[05:26] <dr_willis> Jimmey,  thats what i would do. if its running in the background - it will still be automounting stuff
[05:26] <fuci> harisund: :)
[05:26] <Determinist> delaney, np mate
[05:26] <harisund> fuci: as you start using them, you will figure out fun things to do with it.
[05:26] <acuster> hey all,
[05:26] <fuci> Hopefully :)
[05:26] <acuster> anyone here write with docbook?
[05:26] <Jimmey> dr_willis, how'd I kill Gnome?
[05:26] <harisund> fuci: one thing would be to automatically start screen every time you login through SSH .. and so on ...
[05:26] <dr_willis> Jimmey,  or edit the fstab and make a manual entry for that device -0  to disable the automounting
[05:27] <acuster> care to refresh my mind on pdf generation?
[05:27] <dr_willis> Jimmey,  log out of X. or sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[05:27] <fuci> harisund: Do I have to activate the SSH server? Or is it allways on?
[05:27] <harisund> fuci: It is always on, and is enabled after every reboot.
[05:27] <Determinist> fuci, it's always on once the daemon is there
[05:27] <harisund> fuci: It will not stop unless you manually stop it
[05:27] <fuci> Ok, that's the way I want it to be :)
[05:28] <FreeMason> is anyone here able to help?
[05:28] <Louisa> xavice: does mplayer have a plugin for firefox?
[05:29] <Louisa> xavice: i got mplayer as a package but no plugins (I THINK)
[05:29] <jpjacobs> Louisa, apt-get mozilla-mplayer
[05:29] <Frostbite_> Can somebody help me with dependancy errors in apt-get install redhat-cluster-suite? http://rafb.net/paste/results/OGZPMM52.html
[05:30] <dfgas> is there a way to make a directory hidden?
[05:30] <Louisa> jpjacobs cheers!!

[05:31] <ubotu> lamp is a shortcut for Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}. To setup a LAMP server on Ubuntu, install the packages libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, and mysql-server-5.0. You can also choose 'install a LAMP server' from the server install cd boot menu. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[05:31] <orbin> FreeMason: had a look at this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo ?
[05:31] <orbin> don't know if that's relevant
[05:32] <linux__alien> could some one help me please?
[05:32] <Ubuntu-fr331> me too
[05:32] <harisund> Why does ubotu talk about LAMP when only mysql is asked for?
[05:32] <srn> anyone have tv-out working with compiz?

[05:32] <Seveas> linux__alien, just pop the cd in and follow instructions
[05:32] <Seveas> !compiz > srn
[05:32] <FreeMason> i'll try that orbin

[05:33] <Louisa> jpjacobs: do you know what i have to type in the mozilla address bar to see all my plugins?  its something like "plugins:"
[05:33] <linux__alien> Ok Thanks but there arent any problems with Ubuntu with 64 bit right?
[05:33] <tarzeau> about:plugins
[05:33] <Louisa> thanks
[05:33] <FreeMason> orbin, i realise it's the same documents i've already read
[05:33] <orbin> linux__alien: iirc, there are some issues w/ 64 and flash/multimedia/java ...  one of those ... not sure on the specifics.  from what i hear, most people stick w/ the 32bit install since there isn't any real benefit as of yet
[05:33] <Seveas> linux__alien, there's no flash for 64bit and several codecs are missing
[05:33] <FreeMason> orbin, it seems like my wireless card can't associate to the AP
[05:33] <surgy> ok
[05:33] <surgy> anohter question
[05:33] <erUSUL> linux__alien: things like flash, w32codecs or wine afaik will not work
[05:34] <surgy> i need codecs
[05:34] <surgy> for ubuntu 64
[05:34] <srn> Seveas: that really didn't help me...
[05:34] <linux__alien> wont there be any big differences in the performance between a 32 bit and 64 bit
[05:34] <enyc> linux__alien: depends on the application
[05:34] <orbin> FreeMason: have you tried the forum?
[05:35] <pluma> Amazing. I just changed the JVM eclipse uses in its start-up script to Sun's and the memory usage dropped to about 1/10 of what it was with GNU's JVM.
[05:35] <linux__alien> no from the OS perspective the booting .
[05:35] <ompaul> srn, xgl has its own channel #ubuntu-xgl it is beta softwaer but they know lots about it
[05:35] <bobovski> anyone been sucessful in getting opera to play embedded windows media files?
[05:35] <enyc> linux__alien: certain few things are noticable improved... A lot will be little different... a few will be reduced performanec (in 64bit).
[05:35] <pluma> I can finally actually USE Eclipse in real-time!
[05:35] <enyc> linux__alien: there are quiite a few things that wont work in 64bit
[05:35] <relux> enyc: Oh, such as?
[05:35] <linux__alien> what do you people advice. i ve got the 32 bit cd too. Should i install 64 bit or 32 bit ? since this is the first time i am trying Ubunti
[05:36] <linux__alien> Ubuntu
[05:36] <PuppiesOnAcid> Does anyone know a good place to buy shoes online?  Preferably the "Kangaroos" brand?

[05:36] <FreeMason> anybody here a ubuntu certified professional?
[05:36] <_gpg_> salut
[05:36] <_gpg_> oops
[05:36] <_gpg_> hey
[05:36] <relux> enyc: To quite a few things not working in 64
[05:36] <Captain_Fleming> Someone here knows a good ftp client?
[05:36] <PuppiesOnAcid> _gpg_: bonjour
[05:36] <enyc> relux: there are programs in i386 asm like zsnes

[05:37] <_gpg_> PuppiesOnAcid>: :)
[05:37] <Captain_Fleming> thnx
[05:37] <enyc> relux: there are programs that need i386 arch  like  dosemu
[05:37] <enyc> relux: there are programs that dont complile/run properly in 64bit  like openoffice.org2
[05:37] <PuppiesOnAcid> _gpg_: I spent a little time in a French speaking African country this summer...that's about all the french I know :P
[05:37] <enyc> relux: there are non-free programs that do not have 64bit binaries  like  flashplayer-nonfree
[05:37] <relux> enyc: Yeah, there are actually very few things that dont compile on 64bit
[05:37] <relux> enyc: I would say "quite a few" is an overstatement ;)
[05:38] <enyc> relux: o well whatever ;-)
[05:38] <dr_willis> zsnes dont like 64bit - due to its use of assembly code.

[05:38] <pluma> Question: Is there a way to set up a local POP mail server, which downloads e-mail regularly from other POP servers? I have mailboxes on about four different servers and I'd like to be able to access the mail from everywhere without having to leave them on the respective servers. My Linux box should be on the net 24/7, so having it act as a single-user mailserver would be neat.
[05:38] <dr_willis> and thats a biggie for me.! :P but snes9x works (i think(
[05:38] <linux__alien> So If thats the case i guess you all want me to stay with 32 bit edition right?
[05:38] <enyc> pluma: yes... use  fetchmail
[05:38] <dr_willis> I switched back from 64bit to 32bit
[05:38] <linux__alien> dr_willis, why?
[05:38] <enyc> pluma: you will nood a local SMTP service (mta) but you dont need port-25 in from outside world  necessarially
[05:38] <enyc> pluma: you can use  pop3 daemons that exist already....
[05:38] <relux> linux__alien: You can use 64 bit fine. You will just have to run 32 versions of those apps such as snes or others that dont compile on 64
[05:39] <enyc> pluma: you can use  fetchmali to fetch remonte pop boxes and deliver into local smtp queue
[05:39] <Crusader_Tech> Hello Everyone.  New Ubuntu user here.
[05:39] <kyja> pluma: why dont you have all these multipul accounts forward to one you will check on a regualar basis>?
[05:39] <pluma> enyc: Why would I need a SMTP service? Isn't SMTP mail-out only?
[05:39] <jorgp> if I have a list of packages in a text file, how can I pass them to apt-get
[05:39] <dr_willis> linux__alien,  too many little issues.  and a few big ones.. plus i dident really gain from going to 64bit - other then bragging rights.
[05:39] <harisund> jorgp how was the package list generated?
[05:39] <jorgp> each line is a package name
[05:40] <jorgp> harisund, I generated it
[05:40] <jorgp> harisund, with vi
[05:40] <harisund> jorgp if it just a package name that you want installed, you can simply do "cat file_name | xargs apt-get --yes --force-yes install"
[05:40] <enyc> pluma: you need it ofor the local mail deliveries
[05:40] <linux__alien> relux, i dont mind doing that. I need Gcc, vi, Mp3 Player, Firefox, Movie Player, Gaim, Gtkmm and IRC Chat and of course some plugins which i can use the 32 bit versions
[05:40] <erUSUL> pluma: fetchmail fw mail to the local smtp server
[05:40] <enyc> pluma: into which fetchmail hands its mails
[05:40] <Crusader_Tech> Ubuntu found everything on my machine, except my Nvidia 6200.  I found in the forum two commands to basically download the nvidia package, and enable it, or something like that.  I got it downloaded and installed, but when I run the command to enable it, I get an error.
[05:40] <zparta> anyone know of a good howto to crack wireless networks
[05:40] <jorgp> harisund, thank you
[05:41] <enyc> pluma: eg.g   delivers to<EMAIL_ADDRESS> based on fetchamil config
[05:41] <harisund> jorgp ok . Did it work?
[05:41] <pluma> kyja: Not all of the servers support forwarding, plus I want to be able to leave it on the "server" (i.e. my Linux box) so I can read it without having to remove it from the server AND without having the server go all "out of space" on me
[05:41] <Rotlaus> I've mounted a NFS Share to a directory. As user i can not write into this directory and as root i can not 'cd' into this directory. How can i set the rights properly?
[05:41] <enyc> pluma: you wouldnt need  remotely accessible  smtp for that as-such....
[05:41] <jorgp> harisund, will know in a min
[05:41] <relux> Linuturk_code: You will be fine...there are some great tutorials to getting the 32 bit firefox plugins
[05:41] <enyc> pluma: but you have to think about reply addressess and soforth
[05:41] <t-thing> hi. Howto copy url with keyboard from irssi running under screen in a gnome-terminal?
[05:41] <linux__alien> relux, which means that i will have all the plugins and codecs but the 32 bit variant and not the 64 bit one right? So i can install the 32 bit version of those programs and plugins and things should be fine right?
[05:41] <relux> err, linux_alien that is. Check out the ubuntuforums.org
[05:41] <Linuturk_code> relux, ;p
[05:42] <relux> linux__alien: Yep..
[05:42] <pluma> enyc: I can still use the SMTP servers of the other mail servers for that. They don't really care where the mail comes from, they just send it (heck, half of them don't seem to care whether the sender e-mail and username match).
[05:42] <Linuturk_code> is there really a big performance boost when running the 64 bit version of ubuntu instead of 32 bit ?
[05:42] <linux__alien> relux, will i ve any problems with PPPOE connection in Ubuntu?
[05:42] <kyja> pluma: oh I now see your trouble :/
[05:42] <harisund> t-thing: if you are running it under gnome-terminal, just highlight the text or URL and you can paste it into a browser by using middle click
[05:42] <jorgp> harisund, yes thanks..
[05:42] <harisund> ok cool jorgp
[05:43] <enyc> pluma: fine
[05:43] <relux> Linuturk_code: Depends on what you are doing.. you'll notice the biggest performance boost when doing things like encoding/decoding audio/video.
[05:43] <relux> linux__alien: no
[05:43] <enyc> pluma: but you need SMTP accessible to localhost on the box... in order for fetchmail to deliver its mails
[05:43] <enyc> pluma: and you need to run a pop3 server
[05:43] <Ash-Fox> relux, I like how you can tell the future, will my mouse break on me?
[05:43] <relux> Ash-Fox: Most likely
[05:43] <Ash-Fox> All hail relux!
[05:43] <Linuturk_code> relux, what are we talking? 50% increase? what about load time and such?
[05:43] <t-thing> harisund: I don't want to use mouse. Like I said, with keyboard. Like a command "copy latest url to clipboard" or something like that would be nice
[05:44] <enyc> pluma: sumlp way is to use ubuntu's postfix  and install courier-pop3d  and use UNIX login usernames/passwords ...
[05:44] <enyc> pluma: err... Simple  way   even
[05:44] <relux> Linuturk_code: It depends on what you're doing...30% or so? I don't do much stuff like that
[05:44] <harisund> t-thing: no idea. Sorry :(
[05:44] <t-thing> harisund: np
[05:44] <Linuturk_code> relux, I'm just trying to figure out if it's worth all the extra work getting firefox plugins and such working
[05:45] <linux__alien> I am starting my install of Ubuntu (64 Bit edition) Hope everything goes fine and i hope to be here in Ubuntu
[05:45] <pluma> kyja: Trouble? The issue is currently this: I have a GMail account, an account on the local university's student mail server, a private account and an account on my father's website. I can't be arsed to check them all when I'm on different computers. I also can't just leave them on their servers because some of them are strict on mailbox space (the university only gives me a 20MB home directory, for example).
[05:45] <richee> linux__alien: Which u luck
[05:45] <richee> wish u luck
[05:45] <Linuturk_code> relux, but like you said, it depends on what you are doing . . . average desktop stuff won't benefit from what you say :)
[05:45] <linux__alien> richee, Thanks !!
[05:45] <richee> linux__alien: np
[05:46] <pluma> enyc: So what packages then? courier-pop3d and postfix?
[05:46] <relux> Linuturk_code: Yeah, I can't say. I have not run the 32 version on my my 64 machine to know the difference. I am just telling you from what i've read
[05:46] <Linuturk_code> pluma, so pull them down with Thunderbird or Evolution
[05:46] <enyc> pluma: id try them...  im a fraim im busy and cant tell you a lot more... sorry
[05:46] <enyc> pluma: fetchmail too
[05:46] <orbin> Crusader_Tech: what commands, and what errors?  (use a pastebin if more than two lines)
[05:47] <pluma> enyc: No problem at all. Happy about any advice I can get.
[05:47] <Ubuntu-fr331> bye at next time
[05:47] <bobjones_> hi, cansome one give me a hand setting up a ftp server of the ubuntu cd, so i can do an ftp install locally, i have the server running, but the installer compilans that it cant find the files
[05:47] <pluma> Linuturk_code: But that would require me to run TB or Evo in the background and also would put them into the TB or Evo directory of my home dir, wouldn't it? Also, how am I supposed to share that inbox as mailserver?
[05:48] <Linuturk_code> ah, nvm, that's way over my head. I thought you were looking for a mail program
[05:48] <Linuturk_code> pluma, ^^

[05:53] <Linuturk_code> richee, there is phpmysqladmin
[05:54] <philth> phpmyadmin*
[05:54] <skarface> phpmyadmin
[05:54] <Linuturk_code> richee, I also remember seeing a gui in the Add/Remove . . . menu
[05:54] <bobjones_> hi, cansome one give me a hand setting up a ftp server of the ubuntu cd, so i can do an ftp install locally, i have the server running, but the installer compilans that it cant find the files
[05:54] <Linuturk_code> richee, I haven't used that one, but I have used the phpmyadmin from the repos, and it works great
[05:54] <richee> not phpmyadmin i too use it
[05:54] <richee> anything else gtk based?
[05:55] <atoponce> richee: there is the mysql query browser
[05:55] <Linuturk_code> richee, take a look in the Add/Remove menu
[05:55] <Linuturk_code> there is one in there somewhere, but I haven't used it before
[05:55] <richee> let me check
[05:55] <atoponce> it can connect to local and remote servers
[05:56] <Phlexonance> Ubuntu wont boot on my new pc. I have downloaded the amd64bit version and updatet my bios but it just wont boot. (amd athlon 64 X2 3.8, asus M2N32-SLI DEL with latest bios)
[05:57] <harisund> DBO: are you around?
[05:57] <FunnyLookinHat> Phlexonance, Have you tried the regular 32 bit version?
[05:57] <lukus001> how do i mount NTFS drives?
[05:57] <bigs>         #Xgl-ubuntu    where is everyone in there?
[05:57] <FunnyLookinHat> Phlexonance, also, are you sure that you are selecting the CD-ROM drive as your boot device?
[05:57] <FunnyLookinHat> bigs, usually afk
[05:58] <Phlexonance> FunnyLookinHat yes, it lets me select a language and stuff and then it freezes at the loading screen, you know the one with the loading bar
[05:58] <bobovski> does anyone happen to know where I can get the mplayer plugin for opera?
[05:58] <FunnyLookinHat> Phlexonance, oh ...  hmm...       Have you tried the regular 32 bit CD?
[05:59] <bigs> can someone help me getting compiz to to work
[05:59] <Phlexonance> FunnyLookinHat yes, hmm but that was before I updatet my bios. but on the other hand i have a 64 bit cpu :/
[05:59] <bigs> its apparently instaled
[05:59] <richee> cant find the mysql query browser
[05:59] <bigs> apt-get install compiz
[05:59] <bigs> <----ubuntu
[05:59] <atoponce> richee: i thinx it is in universe. if not, you can get it from the mysql site
[05:59] <FunnyLookinHat> Phlexonance, 64 bit linux is not worth it at this point.  You will just have issues getting a lot of multimedia packages working at no help to you
[06:00] <FunnyLookinHat> Phlexonance, so give the 32 bit a try and see if it works?
[06:00] <richee> atoponce: can u tell me the exact package name
[06:00] <bigs> ????
[06:00] <atoponce> yeah. hold on...
[06:00] <Phlexonance> FunnyLookingHat oh, I thought the i386 kernel wont work on a 64 bit cpu, well Ill try again, maybe the bios update helped
[06:00] <sp3tt> Where can I get pdftosrc for ubuntu?
[06:00] <FunnyLookinHat> Phlexonance, the 386 kernel works GREAT on amd 64 chips...  that's what my desktop is running   : )
[06:01] <atoponce> richee: mysql-query-browser and there is alo mysql-admin
[06:01] <richee> atoponce: I have mysql-admin
[06:02] <FunnyLookinHat> sp3tt, what package is that for?
[06:02] <bobovski> what is gecko-sdk?
[06:02] <sp3tt> FunnyLookinHat: well, it used to be a part of tetex-bin.
[06:02] <nox-Hand> Hey
[06:02] <sp3tt> But it seems it is no longer available.
[06:02] <nox-Hand> I want an apt-get remove command's output lessed to a .txt file. How might I do this?

[06:02] <FunnyLookinHat> sp3tt, have you added the universe and multiverse repositories to your sources.list file?
[06:02] <bigs> anyone wanna help me with getting compiz up and running?  I havent done anything except apt-get install compiz
[06:02] <sp3tt> FunnyLookinHat: hmm.

[06:03] <sp3tt> deb http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper universe multiverse

[06:06] <bobovski> what does "ln -s /usr/lib/mozilla/libxpcom.so /usr/lib " do?
[06:06] <nox-Hand> any ideas?

[06:06] <richee> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'ashish'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[06:06] <FunnyLookinHat> nox-Hand, what exactly is your problem?  No X running?
[06:06] <nox-Hand> FunnyLookinHat: exactly -I got a new kernel, so no X
[06:06] <nox-Hand> I need the binary driver installed again, FunnyLookinHat
[06:07] <FunnyLookinHat> nox-Hand, err...  that makes no sense if you did the update through the package manager
[06:07] <FunnyLookinHat> nox-Hand, how did you get the new kernel?
[06:07] <atoponce> using the query browser? you need to have the account setup prior
[06:07] <atoponce> use mysql-admin to setup the account
[06:07] <Bloody_Angel> im new in this, but I think that sudo command do not work, when i type sudo <command> he asks for pass but i cant type anything
[06:07] <nox-Hand> FunnyLookinHat: got one from kernel.org, make oldconfig, make && make_modules install, make install, nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:07] <nox-Hand> The manual way
[06:07] <FunnyLookinHat> Bloody_Angel, it won't show you what you are typing, so just type and hit enter
[06:08] <FunnyLookinHat> nox-Hand, .........
[06:08] <nox-Hand> FunnyLookinHat: :)?
[06:08] <Bloody_Angel> thnx FunnyLookinHat
[06:08] <richee> atoponce: U can only login I guess not create an user
[06:08] <FunnyLookinHat> nox-Hand, that's not good.   In ubuntu, you should get any and all updates through the package manager (Synaptic).  Installing custom compiled kernels sort of puts you out on your own limb because the MOTU's have not tested and verified them to work with the rest of ubuntu
[06:09] <atoponce> using mysql-admin you can
[06:09] <FunnyLookinHat> nox-Hand, which, apparently, it obviously doesn't seem to want to work with your X setup.
[06:09] <FunnyLookinHat> nox-Hand, at a console, if you type "startx" does X start up?
[06:09] <nox-Hand> FunnyLookinHat: it says in the basic guides that with new kernels, nvidia binary driver needs to be compiled again..
[06:09] <nox-Hand> FunnyLookinHat: no, it does not start
[06:09] <FunnyLookinHat> >_<
[06:10] <FunnyLookinHat> nox-Hand, ok, try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:10] <FunnyLookinHat> nox-Hand, sorry, put a sudo before that
[06:10] <richee> hehehe, logged in
[06:10] <nox-Hand> FunnyLookinHat: I know that much ;) Cheers will try
[06:10] <atoponce> cool
[06:10] <erUSUL> nox-Hand: i use 'sudo update-grub' instead of nano /boot/grub/menu.lst ;)
[06:11] <FunnyLookinHat> nox-Hand, ok, I'm afriad you may just have to start doing some overhauling of your packages, removing that kernel you installed, and hopefully you won't have to fresh install
[06:11] <FunnyLookinHat> nox-Hand, (though at this point, a fresh install may be the easiest way)
[06:11] <nox-Hand> FunnyLookinHat: erm...........
[06:11] <nox-Hand> FunnyLookinHat: I can just boot up my old kernel... FunnyLookinHat
[06:11] <TokenBad> friend updated from breezy to dapper and rebooted..now it fails to load the x server
[06:12] <Klaidas> I want to redirect traffic on my computer on port 80 to port 81. Like, when someone opens http://my.ip.add.ress they get redirected to http://my.ip.add.ress:81 . Should I use iptables? If so, wthat would be the syntax? Or maybe I should just edit apache's configuration?
[06:12] <FunnyLookinHat> nox-Hand, right.... but didn't you say you messed with your driver and xorg?
[06:13] <FunnyLookinHat> nox-Hand, err... sorry I see that you said it was telling you to.  Yea, boot up the old kernel from grub and then go with that    : )
[06:13] <richee> hey folks I don't think mysql-admin has a query browser to run sql statements
[06:14] <nox-Hand> FunnyLookinHat: I would rather fix my GFX :) I will keep trying :)
[06:14] <mememe> there is a new version of ubuntu?
[06:14] <FunnyLookinHat> nox-Hand, heh ok

[06:15] <FunnyLookinHat> mememe, 6.06.1 simply refers to a security update or something of that sort...  i'm not that familiar with the naming but they are just simple updates that you have received over the past month or two
[06:15] <Zero_Signal> can you give me a help please?
[06:15] <TokenBad> any info on this? friend updated from breezy to dapper and rebooted..now it fails to load the x server

[06:16] <Ng> if you're running dapper and keep it up to date, you have it already
[06:16] <FunnyLookinHat> mememe, it also means that they image they are now sending out to people includes security updates to a certain point iirc

[06:27] <Frankenstein> im having problems with my linksyss wireless g/b pci card... lspci returns: 0000:01:0b.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless and the networking prompt shows it, i can activate it, set the bssid to my Access Point, click ok, etc... but after i go back it says its deactivated... what can i do?
[06:27] <mememe> yeah
[06:27] <Zero_Signal> well... i reconfigured the Xorg and reinstalled the MesaGL libs... gotta reboot... brb
[06:27] <Zero_Signal> exit
[06:28] <FunnyLookinHat> TokenBad, sudo apt-get install -f iirc
[06:28] <FunnyLookinHat> wait
[06:28] <FunnyLookinHat> lol
[06:28] <FunnyLookinHat> TokenBad, don't type the irrc
[06:28] <FunnyLookinHat> TokenBad, do this in a console: sudo apt-get install -f
[06:28] <FunnyLookinHat> TokenBad, then we need to do a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[06:28] <curuxz> Hey guys
[06:28] <FunnyLookinHat> hey curuxz    : )
[06:29] <curuxz> quick question if anyone is about :)
[06:29] <Gassed> How do I configure the apache service?
[06:29] <curuxz> im trying to get my main user account to be basicaly root
[06:29] <curuxz> but not root
[06:29] <mememe> surgy,now you should remove to # from all the places that have a weird internet adress..
[06:29] <Frankenstein> Gassed, #apache
[06:29] <sorush20> can I let people know about money saving tips?
[06:29] <curuxz> i want the root account and me to be equals
[06:29] <mememe> have to go
[06:29] <mememe> C'ya
[06:29] <kjm> curuxz  - why do you want to do that?  Very insecure, better to use sudo
[06:29] <Frankenstein> !ops
[06:29] <ubotu> Help! lilo, Keybuk, mdz, Amaranth, tritium, ajmitch, crimsun, ogra, CarlK, Seveas, Burgundavia, apokryphos, thoreauputic, nalioth, Madpilot, ompaul, rob, Hobbsee, imbrandon, DBO or gnomefreak!
[06:30] <Seveas> Frankenstein, ?
[06:30] <teethdood> I have a video problem that's stomped me for a while now :(
[06:30] <gnomefreak> Frankenstein: ?
[06:30] <surgy> mememe: i did that and writeout
[06:30] <surgy> mememe: now what?
[06:30] <gnomefreak> sorush20: please do it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[06:30] <sorush20> Frankenstein: your not allowed to use that optioin..
[06:30] <curuxz> kjm im an experienced user, running a very secure Lan, I am aware of the risks but because im safe behind my fire walll i want my 3 development stations to work together in harmony, without passwords or permission errors, however i dont want to move everything over to the root account
[06:31] <curuxz> i have made my self a memeber of the root user group, but its not doing it, root directories are still not writeable to me
[06:31] <ziottt> hi
[06:31] <Ropechoborra> How do i mount an ipod ??
[06:31] <FunnyLookinHat> teethdood, what is your issue (video problem)?
[06:31] <nalioth> !tell curuxz about root
[06:31] <billybennett> when installing a program it asks me su -c "make install" what is the ubuntu version of that?
[06:31] <ziottt> anybody has tried to install the plugin for files .ape on k3b?
[06:31] <Seveas> curuxz, even experienced users should not be silly about security...
[06:31] <surgy> mememe: do i just start dling packets?
[06:31] <Seveas> billybennett, sudo make install
[06:31] <curuxz> are you THE Seveas?
[06:32] <FunnyLookinHat> billybennett, have you checked for the program in the Ubuntu repos??
[06:32] <Seveas> curuxz, depends on how many seveases you know
[06:32] <FunnyLookinHat> billybennett, rather than compile it....
[06:32] <kjm> curuxz - I am a very experienced user as well.....experienced enough to not use root unless required.  But, you could create a "root" group that has the permissions you wish, and add users to it.
[06:32] <curuxz> the guy i would like to thank for the FreeNX debs that i use on all my pc's?
[06:32] <billybennett> FunnyLookinHat, yes it used to be in the repos but its gone now... it was outdated anyways
[06:32] <fdoving> kjm: there is already a root group.
[06:32] <Seveas> that would be me, but you need to thank slh for them
[06:32] <FunnyLookinHat> billybennett, ooh, ok.   Would you mind posting a bug to update the program so the MOTU team can put it on the to-do list?
[06:32] <surgy> error: couldnt find package
[06:32] <curuxz> kjm tried that, for some reason it aint enough, i need a way of making the system think i am root
[06:32] <kjm> fdoving , curuxz - well there you go.
[06:32] <teethdood> Totem displays downgraded video (8-bit) while Mplayer plays videos fine with the X11 (XImage/Shm) video driver. How do I change the totem video driver?
[06:33] <billybennett> FunnyLookinHat, I'd love to .... when I type sudo make install it says command not found?
[06:33] <kjm> curuxz - I don't know then.  I've never been silly enough to think of trying something like that.
[06:33] <harisund> Hello! Does anybody have any experience with NAT (IP Masquerading), DHCP server and DNS on Linux? basically I want to use my LInux as a router :
[06:33] <Seveas> !compiling > billybennett
[06:33] <joumetal> How could I check speed of my ram by software?
[06:33] <FunnyLookinHat> billybennett, yea...   I think you're lookin for sudo "make install" maybe?
[06:34] <Seveas> harisund, install dhcp3-server and get that working on the local net, then come back for nat ;)
[06:34] <surgy> ok well this is tunring into horse shit
[06:34] <erUSUL> Ropechoborra: you can't use gtkpod or other program to access it iirc
[06:34] <kjm> curuxz - install windows.  Login as administrator and enjoy the extra "security" you get from running your OS like that
[06:34] <curuxz> kjm, i have a locked office, secure lan and only use my computer for development I know its odd to want to run effectively as root all the time but there are reasons, plus the fact i cant just stay loged in as root since i need multiple accounts to be doing this :(
[06:34] <Ropechoborra> erUSUL apt-get gtkpod ?
[06:34] <billybennett> I must be an idiot, I just read that page and tried sudo "make install" and no luck.. I've already done ./configure
[06:34] <jpjacobs> harisund, there is a howto at the gentoo site that also works for ubuntu (except, replace emerge by apt-get install)
[06:34] <harisund> Seveas I see, so dhcp3-server installs that. Can I configure it to be a DHCP server on only eth1 and not eth0 (since eth0 is public, to the modem, and eth1 is to the switch, my local LAN)
[06:34] <Seveas> harisund, yes
[06:35] <zparta> anyone know of a good howto to crack wireless networks ?
[06:35] <harisund> jpjacobs: oh ok ... how do I search for it? (I don't even know what keywords to type in for google.). There is supposed to be a project called linux-router project, but that website seems to be down.
[06:35] <kjm> curuxz - again, I don't know.  I've always used sudo -i to get local root access when required.  But, never running permantly like that.
[06:35] <curuxz> since as Seveas will tell you logging onto the same freenx account multiple times can cause all kinds of problems....hence i want to run in root all the time, but need multiple root accounts
[06:35] <FunnyLookinHat> zparta, err...  airsnort is the program you are looking for
[06:35] <FunnyLookinHat> zparta, and it's in the repos iirc
[06:35] <harisund> Thanks Seveas I will have a look .... so installing that package will only enable my linux box to act as a dhcp server, but it won't actually share the internet, right? Just like a gateway for the computers on the lan ..?
[06:36] <fdoving> harisund: i suggest installing and using the 'ipmasq' package, it does everything you want in one.
[06:36] <Maen> Hello.
[06:36] <harisund> oh neat ... thanks fdoving ..
[06:36] <zparta> FunnyLookinHat: does it support atheros chipset it says nothing on the homepage
[06:36] <jordanau> what is the open source equivalent of asp.net
[06:36] <ompaul> !broadcom > frankenstein
[06:36] <zparta> and when i try it doesnt seam to work either :P
[06:36] <FunnyLookinHat> zparta, yes, it does...  use the orinoco driver (you will see the option for it)...
[06:36] <FunnyLookinHat> zparta, at leeast, i'm failry sure
[06:36] <zparta> ok
[06:36] <jpjacobs> harisund: www.gentoo.org/doc/en/home-router-howtoo.xml

[06:36] <curuxz> Seveas: have you noticed how Amsn wont work under a FreeNX client, do you know of any work around for this? :(
[06:36] <rub> i am buying one celeron (m) is that good to install and to work linux ?
[06:36] <Maen> could someone explain me how to install VPN , please?
[06:37] <billybennett> FunnyLookinHat, none of those commands work... Ive tried them again and again before I came here.. I know its something stupid I'm forgetting
[06:37] <harisund> jpjacobs: I guess you added an extra o in the end to rhyme with gentoo ? ;)
[06:37] <fdoving> harisund: you basically set the dhcp-adress-pool and the dns-forwarders and you're set.
[06:37] <FunnyLookinHat> rub, celeron chips are pretty poor perfmance chips overall, but yes it will work fine with linux.
[06:37] <Seveas> curuxz, newver noticed
[06:37] <harisund> fdoving: thanks a ton ... jpjacobs thanks a ton too ... you too Seveas .. I will get back after I have read the documentation and the comments in the default configuration files :)
[06:37] <nicodarious> hello all
[06:37] <FunnyLookinHat> billybennett, hmm...  it's been a while since I had to run a make install as root...  so I forget as well...     : (
[06:37] <lmosher> Has anyone ever seen that error before?
[06:38] <curuxz> kk, just wondered. It may be a bug with Java or something since i think Amsn is a java applet, and i dont like gaim
[06:38] <teethdood> FunnyLookinHat, all of a sudden videos in all apps play at 8-bit instead of full color. The only thing that works is MPlayer using X11 (Ximage/Shm)
[06:38] <teethdood> I tried reinstalling all the codecs to no avail
[06:38] <nicodarious> i'm now to Ubuntu and the Devian framework kindof and i was wondering, Does the latest Ubunt support GLx for the nvidia cards vorrectly?
[06:38] <FunnyLookinHat> teethdood, totem is using the wrong video driver thingy...
[06:38] <Seveas> curuxz, amsn is TCL, not java ;)
[06:38] <nicodarious> correctly*
[06:38] <FunnyLookinHat> teethdood, Why not just use mplayer or gxine all the time?
[06:38] <cica> hi all :-)

[06:39] <g333k> Hi I'm using ubuntu 6.06, I want to install fuse and fuse-libs but I dont have that pkgs in aptitude why?
[06:39] <teethdood> FunnyLookinHat, gxine does the same thing. MPlayer doesn't do DVD menus :(
[06:39] <billybennett> Anyone know how to find out a version number from apt-get ?
[06:39] <Seveas> !find fuse

[06:40] <FunnyLookinHat> teethdood, whoah...  hmm...    sorry that one is above me  : (
[06:40] <nicodarious> Does Ubuntu support installation of LGX drivers for NVIDIA cards correctly or do you have to work around everything to get to it?
[06:40] <erUSUL> zuhause01xx: yes
[06:40] <quiet> where is the ubuntu gnome icon located?
[06:40] <Seveas> g333k, fuse-utils is what you need -- the fuse driver is in the kernel
[06:40] <lamego> zuhause01xx, if it is already formated, sure, edit your /etc/fstab
[06:40] <nicodarious> err GLX
[06:40] <doublehp> how do I get USB stick automounted ?
[06:40] <ralf_h> Is there a mplayerplugin for firefox and Ubuntu? If not , what do you use to view MS format video/streams?
[06:40] <lamego> but first mount it on a temporary dir and move your data there
[06:40] <FunnyLookinHat> nicodarious, legacy nvidia drivers?  yes.  nvidia-glx-legacy is the package i think
[06:40] <FunnyLookinHat> !nvidia
[06:40] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:40] <quiet> ralf_h, there is.
[06:40] <erUSUL> ralf_h: it is
[06:41] <Seveas> doublehp, it should automount when you p[lug it in
[06:41] <ziottt> for the ape plugin on k3b Ive got this thing:
[06:41] <ziottt> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20901
[06:41] <quiet> ralf_h, i believe it is mplayerplug-in
[06:41] <ziottt> whats do I need yet
[06:41] <teethdood> FunnyLookinHat, thanks for your help mate :) well, thanks for answering everyone else's questions as well :)
[06:41] <g333k> Seveas: But I dont have fuse-utils either
[06:41] <nicodarious> FunnyLookinHat yes.  that's what i was looking for.  Ubuntu isn't the Debian Etch )testing) type is it?
[06:41] <doublehp> Seveas: it isnt; /dev/sda1 is created, but wont show in df -h
[06:41] <g333k> lamego: I'm planning to use local devices support with ltsp
[06:41] <ralf_h> quiet, OK I will look for it. I tried mplayerplugin, but no match...
[06:41] <quiet> ralf_h, search for mplayer, you will find it.
[06:41] <doublehp> Seveas: there is not aither any thing about it in system messages
[06:41] <lamego> g333k, ok :)
[06:41] <Seveas> doublehp, does it shouw up in mount or in /media/
[06:42] <Seveas> !universe > g333k
[06:42] <doublehp> Seveas: no
[06:42] <ralf_h> quiet, I did look for mplayer, but the plugin didn't show up. Is it hidden somewhere?
[06:42] <nicodarious> FunnyLookinHat i'm looking for something that's still running gcc 3.5 or whatnot.  on top of that, i just want my GAMES to run on Linux.. and without GLX rendering, the systems are useless.
[06:42] <FunnyLookinHat> nicodarious, actually, ubuntu is pulled from debian etch when we sync up
[06:42] <Seveas> doublehp, does 'pmount /dev/sda1' work?
[06:43] <quiet> ralf_h, do you have universe and multiverse repos enabled?
[06:43] <erUSUL> ralf_h: mozilla-mplayer ??
[06:43] <FunnyLookinHat> nicodarious, oh hmmm...   im not sure.   why are you concerned about the compiler used?
[06:43] <ralf_h> quiet, Have to check. How do I activate them?

[06:43] <jdahm> hey, when my laptop is turned on my fan is ALWAYS on, drawing a lot of power and a tremendous loss in battery life, under windows the fan only went on after the laptop was on for about 12 hours (the laptop is really well cooled) is there any way to get it to scale the fan power?
[06:44] <ralf_h> quiet, THX!
[06:44] <jdahm> oops, I mean resulting in
[06:44] <diogo> does clamav, spampd and spamassassin work "out of the box" when I install them with aptitude? with postfix already installed...
[06:44] <doublehp> Seveas: as root, yes; it creates /media/sda1 ; I ll try as user ... user cant pmount
[06:45] <Seveas> doublehp, what's the error message?
[06:45] <jdahm> and I have one more question, how do you get wireles printing to work/ I have a printer attached to an airport and I know the IP, but it isnt working with CUPS
[06:45] <doublehp> Seveas: in my langage: permission refused (not allowed)
[06:45] <doublehp> Seveas: in my langage: permission refused (not allowed) for /usr/bin/pmount:
[06:45] <Seveas> doublehp, right...
[06:45] <Seveas> doublehp, are you in the plugdev group?
[06:46] <doublehp> Seveas: I have 3 end users on the box ...
[06:46] <nicodarious> FunntLookinHat cause i've been trying and trying for about a week now to get my nvidia card running on Debian Etch, but either the binary from nvidia wants the gcc3.4 (Etch has gcc4.1 installed, so it's constantly yelling at me during installation) or the kernel modules or whatever they are for the GLX drivers are non-existant...  i'm running low on time, patience, and resources here... i want something to work besides an M$ system....
[06:46] <Seveas> doublehp, only end users in the plugdev group can make things automount
[06:46] <doublehp> Seveas: hal is, not my users
[06:46] <nalioth> !tell rbman about dualboot
[06:46] <doublehp> Seveas: in the end, will you make it automount at plug time ?
[06:47] <Seveas> doublehp, sudo adduser your_username plugdev
[06:47] <FunnyLookinHat> nicodarious, what you want then is to install ubuntu....    we release packages that only work in our repos... and that include nvidia-glx-legacy   : )
[06:47] <Seveas> for all 3 users
[06:47] <Seveas> then it will mount at plug-in-time
[06:47] <doublehp> Seveas: ok, added 3 users; all can pmount
[06:47] <Seveas> doublehp, then it should now work when you plug it in
[06:47] <doublehp> Seveas: problem is that only the one running MANUALLY pmount will be able to use it ...
[06:48] <nicodarious> FunnyLookinHat well it's about time i find something half decent here....  terrible it took me so friggin long though, heh.
[06:48] <Seveas> doublehp, that is in fact by design
[06:48] <nicodarious> i'm downloading the 700MB ISO now.
[06:48] <PSurge> if i install Ubuntu 5.10 as a server can i use dist-upgrade to upgrade it to 6.06?
[06:48] <FunnyLookinHat> nicodarious, sorry it took so long...     a lot of us are quite busy right now doing bug updating and stuff preparing for edgy eft devel and release    : )
[06:48] <Seveas> if you put the drive in /etc/fstab with different mount options, pmount will call mount for the drive
[06:49] <doublehp> Seveas: unpluged/repluged ... did not automount after 10s
[06:49] <fyrestrtr> PSurge: sure
[06:49] <doublehp> Seveas: no activity in syslogs after 1mn
[06:49] <Seveas> doublehp, is the user who is logged in in the gui in the plugdev group?
[06:49] <diogo> do I have to reconfigure postfix after installing clamav?
[06:49] <ENE|Toxic> Using wlan on a network without any authentication; would it be sufficent to execute "iwconfig wlan0 essid <essid>", and the run dhcp to get connected to that network?
[06:50] <Sucker28> hi
[06:50] <PSurge> thx fyrestrtr
[06:50] <doublehp> Seveas: 2 useres are loged in GUI; *all* users have been put in the group, and can use pmount
[06:50] <Seveas> hmm
[06:50] <nicodarious> FunnLookinHat oh that's fine.  i don't mind waiting as long as i know that there's something going on..  i'm not a dev myself, but i've already talked a few friends into giving up M$ for good and am looking to spread the linux community quite a bit.  i just need to find something to give them that will actually work well and is user friendly.
[06:50] <teethdood> crazy question: how do I reinstall all apps in Drapper? (ie wipe out all configurations, just a refresher of all packages)
[06:51] <Seveas> doublehp, does lshal say that that drive is removable? (pipe lshal through less and search for sda1 to find the drive)
[06:51] <FunnyLookinHat> nicodarious, give ubuntu a try and tell me how you like it  : )    but I'm warning you now, don't add any non-ubuntu repos to your sources.list    it breaks things   : )
[06:52] <cfedde> how do I set the locale for my system?
[06:52] <doublehp> Seveas: storage.removable = true  (bool)
[06:52] <polo3> hola
[06:52] <erUSUL> cfedde: System> Admin>language support
[06:52] <erUSUL> !es > polo3
[06:52] <cfedde> erUSUL: Is there a way to do that in server?
[06:53] <Seveas> doublehp, then I am puzzled nad thinking this is a bug in pmount
[06:53] <erUSUL> cfedde: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure localeconf
[06:53] <nicodarious> FunnyLookinHat i'll keep that in mind.  thanks for the warning.    know anything about Cedega being installed on Ubuntu and running well? i know my laptop runs Kubuntu and runs Cedega quite well.  it's just another niche i can throw at people to help get them away from M$.
[06:53] <cfedde> erUSUL: cool! thanks
[06:53] <doublehp> Seveas: shall I restart some services ?
[06:53] <erUSUL> cfedde: no problem
[06:53] <FunnyLookinHat> nicodarious, I ran cedega with my ubuntu install and it was great (apart from the problems that cedega has with certain games, etc.)
[06:54] <FunnyLookinHat> nicodarious, I also had a lot of luck with wine   : )
[06:54] <knapper> Hey, does anyone know an application/plugin that will resume azureus transfers instead of the screensaver (ie when I go away, it resumes, when I come back it pauses)
[06:54] <Seveas> doublehp, last attempt: make sure it's unmounted and not in /etc/fstab then remove and plug back in -- if that still fails: file a bug
[06:55] <rbman> I've got an existing ubuntu system and I have a second drive with windows on it that I'd like to be able to dual boot to,  what are the propper steps?

[06:55] <rbman> ng to help with the appropriate windows entry for menu.lst? ubotu's linked faqs do NOT seem to address this configuration.
[06:55] <nicodarious> FunnyLookinHat of course.  Cedega is also being worked on.  but it does great with a lot of popular games.  and the OO.o is perfect for the Officers here too.  They love my laptop with it and use it for their presentations a lot.  Since i am not a dev, i would like to think that this is the way i can help out the Linux community.
[06:56] <FunnyLookinHat> nicodarious, Yea, very true.   Well we all appreciate your help in both spreading and assisting people in using ubuntu   : )
[06:56] <nicodarious> helping to 'free people's minds' if you could say that

[06:57] <teethdood> how do I revert my month-old dapper install to a fresh new install? (wiping all my configs)
[06:57] <rbman> ahhh...
[06:58] <rbman> doh!
[06:58] <doublehp> Seveas: there is nothing called hal in /etc/udev/*/* ....
[06:58] <nicodarious> FunnyLookinHat, oh and one more thing (it's kind of my thing)  how is E16 on Ubuntu?  i'm sort of stuck on the WM heh.
[06:58] <ENE|Toxic> Using wlan on a network without any authentication; would it be sufficent to execute "iwconfig wlan0 essid <essid>", and the run dhcp to get connected to that network?
[06:59] <harisund> ENE|Toxic: I would also add mode managed, but what you said seems to be sufficient in most cases.
[06:59] <linux__alien> i ve installed Ubuntu
[06:59] <linux__alien> Successfully
[06:59] <FunnyLookinHat> nicodarious, I've never run enlightenment ( I assume that is what you are referring to) but I've heard good things  : )    I'm personally a gnome fan and don't really deal with much else
[06:59] <linux__alien> This is my first experience with Ubuntu
[07:00] <harisund> jpjacobs: that page is awesome. Thanks a ton. Seriously :)
[07:00] <linux__alien> is there mp3 support in ubuntu?

[07:00] <doublehp> Seveas: storage.removable = true for sda only, not for sda1
[07:01] <doublehp> Seveas: sda1 has "volume.policy.should_mount = true" !!!
[07:01] <nicodarious> FunnyLookinHat ah, i understand. and yes, i was refering to Enlightenment.  I was just wondering and making sure that i would be able to use such a thing with Ubuntu. it's my favorite WM.  low on memory, and very responsive.  not to leave out flexible and highly customisable.
[07:01] <Seveas> doublehp, that means you should file a bug ;)
[07:02] <doublehp> Seveas: I need a fix for yesterday ... for my friend (I am using ssh to fix his box 400 miles away)
[07:02] <waspius> anyone know how i can configure xmms sound controls?ie.volume up/down etc
[07:03] <dravas> What can I do in apt-get to enable like Rar and stuff in Archive Manager?
[07:03] <FunnyLookinHat> nicodarious, oohh yea, it's good to go with ubuntu  : )     You might want to try using xubuntu (it's a xfce/e16/wm) based ubuntu installation
[07:03] <erUSUL> dravas: unrar
[07:03] <dravas> ok
[07:03] <lamego> dravas, make sure you have universe/multiverse enabled
[07:04] <nicodarious> FunnyLookinHat is it the same thing as Ubuntu?  just configured differently to the different WMs?
[07:04] <Unkill>
[07:05] <Unkill>  -  ?%)
[07:05] <FunnyLookinHat> nicodarious, yea, just as ubuntu installs gnome, kubuntu installs kde, and xubuntu installs lightweight interfaces   : )
[07:06] <nicodarious> FunnyLookinHat oh sweeT1  this is good news indeed!  i think i'm falling in love with the distro already!
[07:06] <FunnyLookinHat> nicodarious, I know i did a long time ago.

[07:17] <dust0> ok ok.... then no answer to tha question...
[07:17] <pebkac> because i had to go change my sources to install muine, because someone is too fucking lazy to put muine 0.8.5 in backports.
[07:18] <pebkac> and it also decided to install a slew of mono packages, which then called on pretty much ALL of edgy for dependencies.

[07:28] <bobovski> Hi all. Ubuntu is recognizing my .tex files as executables. How do I change this?
[07:28] <Ash-Fox> JraNil, I don't believe there is. I could be wrong, try asking the network channel #freenode
[07:29] <JraNil> Ash-Fox, Thanks for ur answer : )
[07:29] <Ash-Fox> bobovski chmod -x *.tex
[07:29] <bobovski> thanks Ash-Fox
[07:29] <aaaaaa> Hi
[07:30] <wisp> quick question: does ubuntu use vanilla-soures as standard? and what version is the current stable?
[07:30] <bobovski> Ash-Fox: hurm. Will that change globally or just in the dir I'm in?
[07:30] <QwertyManiac> 6.06 LTS @ wisp
[07:30] <Ash-Fox> bobovski, directory you're in. It will remove the executable flag from all tex files in that directory.
[07:30] <neutrinomass> wisp: No. It uses a patched kernel and dapper (the latest stable Ubuntu release) uses 2.6.15
[07:30] <wisp> neutrinomass: thanks
[07:31] <QwertyManiac> 2.6.15-26
[07:31] <aaaaaa> does anyone here need a website made?
[07:31] <bobovski> Ash-Fox: any way you know to do it globally?
[07:31] <covOPprometheus> anyone knows where to find a list of all supported WLAN-cards?
[07:31] <wisp> neutrinomass: reason i ask is because i use gentoo and i'm having trouble getting my new USB keyboard working.. i googled and found a guy with the same problem.. his got solved after updating ubuntu 4 days ago though...
[07:31] <Ash-Fox> bobovski, do you even have a graphical LaTeX editor installed?
[07:31] <psiklone> hey: whenever I try to boot using grub I get Error 17 Cannot mount selected partition anyone know why?
[07:32] <linuxboy> does anybody know of any study guides for LPI 199 ?
[07:32] <wisp> so now i'm thinking about trying the vanilla-sources

[07:35] <dojo> thx so i just put in apt-get install -f and retry
[07:35] <Ash-Fox> that will remove any executable flag in the current directory and that directory's subdirectories. and will make sure folders keep their executable flag.
[07:35] <bobovski> Ash-Fox: ok thanks. I just want to automatically open tex files in emacs...not choose to run or display or whatever. I think my folder permissions are screwy. Thanks for the help

[07:36] <dr_willis> waspius,  nrmally the no cd cracks ive seen just replace the main binary.exe in the games dir. (backup the original)
[07:36] <eyequeue> i've killed off nautilus, told it to save the changes to the session, logged out and in, and told it to stop saving changes to the session (since i don't want that) ... but nautuls keeps coming back upon relogin

[07:37] <lamego> pianoboy3333, you are missing some development files
[07:38] <aStRaLgOd> pianoboy3333, sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[07:38] <pianoboy3333> lamego: I did an apt-file on libXrender.la, nothing came up...
[07:38] <dr_willis> heh - faq #3 it seems like - 'sudo apt-get install build-essential'
[07:38] <waspius> dr_willis: yes i know but i applied one but it did not work...ok i will try it again though..thanx
[07:38] <dr_willis> waspius,  often it depends on the version of the isntalled game.. many no cd cracks are for specific versions.
[07:39] <aStRaLgOd> So noone here running WoW on linux eh? lol
[07:39] <pianoboy3333> aStRaLgOd: ummm... I have that package.... I can run make obviously....
[07:39] <lamego> aStRaLgOd, he has the compiler installed
[07:39] <aStRaLgOd> oh ok
[07:40] <pianoboy3333> lamego: I have libxrender1 and libxrender-dev installed.... and I've reinstalled them...
[07:40] <itsmegb> does anybody know much about using zenity with bash scripting? any help would be appreciated
[07:40] <dr_willis> aStRaLgOd,  theres many wine forums/web pages.. on that lame game. :P i had it going under cedega.. then gave up on the game.
[07:40] <pianoboy3333> aStRaLgOd: you can run it under wine quite easily
[07:40] <lamego> pianoboy3333, ops, i was going to suggest those libs
[07:40] <aStRaLgOd> dr_willis: yeah but I went on linux to NOT pay about crap.... lol
[07:40] <aStRaLgOd> pianoboy3333, oh yeah it runs, but it runs at 5 FPS
[07:41] <ProNoob> does anyone have an solution for seeking in flv files ?
[07:41] <pianoboy3333> aStRaLgOd: my friend can run it fine under wine, did you patch the source code? there's somethign about it in the ubuntu wiki in the building wine one
[07:41] <dr_willis> aStRaLgOd,  sounds to me like you dont have yoru ati drivers set up right.. of course wine/cedega and ati - is poften an issue.
[07:41] <lamego> pianoboy3333, could you give me the source link so i can try it myself ?
[07:41] <aStRaLgOd> pianoboy3333, According to the AppsDB of Wine, no need to compile on the newer version
[07:41] <pianoboy3333> lamego: sure
[07:41] <dr_willis> alwo every *$*@ new patch to WoW seems to break the  wine/compatiabilty with the game.,
[07:41] <aStRaLgOd> pianoboy3333, I mean no need for the patch

[07:42] <waspius> eyequeue: thanx
[07:42] <pianoboy3333> waspius: you don't unmount files...
[07:42] <dr_willis> sudo umnount /media/mountpoint
[07:42] <dr_willis> oops.. spelt umount wrong.
[07:43] <sethk> wasauce, pianoboy3333 he might mean umount a file set up for loopback
[07:43] <pianoboy3333> oh, of course I know what that means..... :-s
[07:43] <dr_willis> :)
[07:44] <eyequeue> sof, how do i prevent nautilus from launching at each login?
[07:44] <sethk> wasauce, pianoboy3333, because people take the shortcut and do a loopback mount with mount, rather than losetup followed by mount, it appears you are mounting an iso file, although in fact you are not.
[07:44] <dr_willis> losetup? thats a new one for me to read about. :)

[07:48] <mirak> I am looking for a IRC client who doesn't crash
[07:48] <dojo> network-manager-gnome_0.6.2-0ubuntu7_i386.deb
[07:48] <lamego> mirak, x-chat doesn't crash on me
[07:48] <dojo> so i can get connected to the internet on ubuntu
[07:48] <dr_willis> mirak,  i cant recall  any of them crashing. :P
[07:48] <linux__alien> i ve a weird problem with Ubuntu. I am using pppoeconf to connect to the web . It gets connected and i get ppp0 when i do ifconfig too but after some time an other interface gets created ppp1 and then ppp2 . Hence my Internet becomes slow sometimes
[07:48] <linux__alien> how do i solve this
[07:48] <rbman> lamego, nutz
[07:48] <rbman> ;)
[07:48] <dr_willis> some times its amazing how crash free linux can be.
[07:49] <shawnr_> dojo, 'sudo apt-get install network-manager-gnome'
[07:49] <pianoboy3333> lamego: got it yet?
[07:49] <lamego> pianoboy3333, yes, and building
[07:49] <mirak> lamego: for me it crashes a lot. xchat -gnome also. for exemple if I close the window it crashes
[07:49] <dojo> i tried that it says
[07:49] <dojo> cannot find pakage when i did it
[07:49] <pianoboy3333> lamego: ok
[07:49] <lamego> mirak, xchat-gnome crashes a lot, i am talking about xchat
[07:49] <dr_willis> xchat-gnome is a pain.. normal xchat never crashes on me..
[07:50] <dr_willis> i hate xchat-gnome - so i cant say how crashy it is. :P
[07:50] <dr_willis> just another reason to hate it i guess.
[07:50] <Linuturk_code> dr_willis, i use the generic one, not the gnome specific one
[07:50] <cassidy_> lamego: bug reports are welcome

[07:50] <shawnr_> dojo, then try to install again
[07:50] <dojo> kk thx
[07:50] <pianoboy3333> dr_willis: ummm I like xchat-gnome, and have never had a single problem with it
[07:51] <dr_willis> pianoboy3333,  that proves you are a sicko! :)
[07:51] <ProNoob> does anyone have an solution for seeking in flv files ?
[07:51] <shawnr_> pianoboy3333, gnome's xchat blows... regular xchat is so much better
[07:51] <lamego> cassidy_, I do them with the apps which i use often, xchat-gnome is not the cause, sorry
[07:51] <pianoboy3333> shawnr_: I get that a lot ;)
[07:51] <dr_willis> ive been getting annoyed at the trend in the normal xchat to dumb it down also..
[07:51] <dalfz> after installing xgl, i get the following alot Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display "localhost:1.0".  -- what's this?
[07:51] <mirak> lamego: it crashes less, but I came back to home and it was off
[07:52] <eyequeue> dumbing things down is certainly annoying, agreed
[07:52] <lamego> xchat is much more stable
[07:52] <lamego> pianoboy3333, still building...

[07:53] <pianoboy3333> lamego: I get my error within the first 3 seconds of running make
[07:53] <avis> dalfz, you can comment you the DRI extension on Nvidia cards.
[07:53] <avis> in your xorg.conf
[07:53] <lamego> pianoboy3333, i didn't did anything special...
[07:53] <pianoboy3333> lamego: so something's screwed in my system...
[07:53] <shawnr_> anyone know if evolution has a mail notification tray plugin?
[07:53] <pianoboy3333> lamego: lemme try just running ./configure with no extra crap
[07:53] <lamego> Paladine, what was the filename it was looking for ?
[07:53] <dalfz> avis, i have ati.
[07:53] <lamego> pianoboy3333, i am using --prefix=/usr
[07:54] <pianoboy3333> lamego: I used --prefix=/usr --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu
[07:54] <avis> dalfz i'm guessing you could still do it though i'm not sure that is the solution.  you can dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from a terminal.
[07:54] <avis> add a sudo in there and you'll be fine
[07:55] <pianoboy3333> lamego: do a locate libXrender.la on your sys
[07:55] <avis> fear more beer !
[07:55] <nemesys> hello, I want to add a remote printer to my Ubuntu system.
[07:55] <avis> sorry.
[07:56] <nemesys> is there a way that I can browse which printers are available on the network?
[07:56] <avis> yes nemesys
[07:56] <avis> places -> network servers> then browse all machines
[07:56] <nemesys> thanks!
[07:56] <lamego> pianoboy3333, no, and the build is over, with success
[07:56] <avis> verlcome
[07:56] <avis> velcome
[07:56] <avis> welcome !
[07:56] <pianoboy3333> lamego: so.....
[07:56] <pianoboy3333> lamego: AHHH!!! this is frustrating...
[07:57] <lamego> so, i have no idead where did that lib came from on your makefile :)
[07:57] <lamego> pianoboy3333, make distclean
[07:57] <lamego> :)
[07:57] <nemesys> avis - it only shows 'windows network'
[07:57] <pianoboy3333> lamego: what does that do?
[07:57] <nemesys> avis, it's not a windows printer, it's a CUPS printer.
[07:57] <avis> ok nemesys
[07:57] <nemesys> avis, can I browse those too?
[07:58] <lamego> pianoboy3333, it cleans all the files generated by the compile and configure processes
[07:58] <pianoboy3333> oh
[07:58] <pianoboy3333> sure, I'll try again
[07:58] <avis> in that case i'm not sure how to browse.  i dont know to tell you the truth.  if there was an easy answer im sure someone would answer you.
[07:58] <avis> i dont mean to steal anyones sunshine
[07:58] <pianoboy3333> lamego: same error again....
[07:58] <pianoboy3333> ahhhhh!!!!
[07:59] <nemesys> avis, I have shared the printer through the CUPS webinterface already. When I want to configure a network server, it asks me for the printer's URI and I don't know that :(
[07:59] <avis> i dont know the syntax for that either.
[07:59] <avis> have you ever been to ubuntuforums.org  ?
[07:59] <nemesys> it's supposed to look like ipp://hostname/.....
[08:00] <lamego> pianoboy3333, grep -r libXrender *
[08:00] <nemesys> and then ..... is the name of the printer I believe
[08:00] <avis> they are very helpful there.  just be concise, polite, discreet.
[08:00] <nemesys> but I don't know how to get the name of that printer.
[08:00] <lamego> i dont have that file mentioned anywhere
[08:00] <avis> yeh, something like that but it looks like no one is helping.
[08:00] <Alicia_18> hello
[08:00] <pianoboy3333> lamego: what do I do with the output of that
[08:00] <pianoboy3333> ?
[08:01] <avis> i gotta go nature calls the best of luck to you
[08:01] <StreetSmart> Anyone have any idea on why my gaim buddie icons have suddenly disapeared?
[08:01] <nemesys> well I'll try again a little later, sometimes it's just a matter of how you formulate the question :P
[08:01] <eyequeue> how do i prevent nautilus from launching at each login?
[08:02] <Alicia_18> hay algun spaol???
[08:02] <ompaul> !es
[08:02] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[08:02] <ProNoob> does anyone have an solution for seeking in flv files ?
[08:02] <nemesys> avis, tnx for trying :)
[08:03] <eyequeue> ProNoob, what are they?
[08:03] <ProNoob> eyequeue, what you mean ? flv, thats the flash video format
[08:04] <nemesys> so any CUPS experts on here by any chance?
[08:04] <lamego> pianoboy3333, nothing, i have just checked it is not mentioned on the Makefiles
[08:04] <eyequeue> ProNoob, not familiar with it, i guess grep is out
[08:04] <lamego> pianoboy3333, which means it should not be used on the compile process
[08:04] <ProNoob> eyequeue, they are videos, i said seeking, not searching
[08:04] <nemesys> my question must really be somewhat trivial I think, but I have configured a printer on one system locally, it works fine, I shared it through the webinterface, and now I need to know what it's 'name' is
[08:04] <pianoboy3333> lamego: THEN WTF IS GOING ON! this is totally screwed...
[08:05] <rbman> grub dual boot issue I need some help with, any assistance GREATLY appreciated! -> http://www.phpriot.com/3651
[08:05] <lamego> pianoboy3333, do you have xlib-dev installed ?
[08:05] <pianoboy3333> ooh... I don't know
[08:06] <pianoboy3333> lamego: yes, I have libx11-dev
[08:06] <pianoboy3333> lamego: I don't have xlibs-dev!
[08:06] <Linuturk_code> !upgrade

[08:07] <g333k> Hi, why do I receive this error when I try to edit the hosts.allow file? "sudo: unable to lookup gonzalo-ltsp via gethostbyname()"
[08:07] <pianoboy3333> nope..... didn't work....
[08:07] <jksM> trying to install ubuntu on the Sun T2000... can't get past the partitioning menu... anyone got some hints for me? (I assume there's a catch to it somehow?)
[08:07] <lamego> pianoboy3333, did you rerun configure ?
[08:07] <covOPprometheus> join #ubuntu
[08:07] <pianoboy3333> lamego: no, I'll do that
[08:07] <Linuturk_code> !upgrade > covOPprometheus
[08:08] <eyequeue> pianoboy3333, try a sudo apt-get build-dep gaim, in case

[08:08] <eyequeue> pianoboy3333, i was thinking it would pull in that xlibs.dev if gaim really needed it
[08:09] <dravas> hahaha Netsplit
[08:10] <g333k> Can somebody tell me why I'm not able to edit the /etc/hosts.allow file?
[08:10] <Linuturk_code> g333k, did you use sudo ?
[08:10] <eyequeue> g333k, you probably omitted sudo
[08:10] <g333k> gonzalo@gonzalo-ltsp:/etc$ sudo vim hosts.allow
[08:10] <g333k> sudo: unable to lookup gonzalo-ltsp via gethostbyname()
[08:10] <g333k> eyequeue: See?
[08:11] <g333k> Linuturk_code, eyequeue: See? I didnt forget sudo
[08:11] <pianoboy3333> eyequeue: lamego: no, didn't work....
[08:11] <Ych> whats the command for run "ctrl + r" on win
[08:11] <Ych> ?
[08:12] <lamego> pianoboy3333, :\
[08:12] <pianoboy3333> Ych: no, superkey/windows key + r
[08:12] <eyequeue> pianoboy3333, sorry it didn't,   it was a "won't do any harm" suggestion, just in case.  oh well
[08:12] <pianoboy3333> it's ok
[08:12] <Ych> hmmm
[08:12] <eyequeue> how do i prevent nautilus from launching at each login?
[08:12] <Ych> my modifiers seem to be broken
[08:13] <pianoboy3333> lamego: eyequeue: ok, I have to run, if you come up with anyother ideas, post them at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1405260
[08:13] <lamego> ok
[08:13] <eyequeue> pianoboy3333, will do
[08:13] <g333k> I just realized that I cant edit any /etc file, why?
[08:14] <crocd> g333k: are you uding sudo
[08:14] <lamego> g333k, because you need to be admin for that, use sudo
[08:14] <Bung> can someone tell me how to clear my bash log or whatever you call it, i accidently typed my root password into a terminal
[08:14] <g333k> lamego: crocd: I did see
[08:14] <lamego> Bung, rm ~/.bash_history
[08:14] <BlackBrain> were i can find the new version of fwbuilder for ubuntu?
[08:14] <Wanderer> hmm, if I use kopete and someone I'm talking to has a webcam, will it auto-display or anything?
[08:14] <g333k> gonzalo@gonzalo-ltsp:/etc$ sudo vim dhcpd.conf
[08:14] <g333k> sudo: unable to lookup gonzalo-ltsp via gethostbyname()
[08:14] <Bung> lamego: thanks
[08:14] <sethk> Bung, or just edit the file and get rid of the bad line
[08:14] <kenny> hello all :)
[08:14] <eyequeue> Bung, rm ~/.bash_history
[08:15] <lamego> g333k, did you edited /etc/hosts ?
[08:15] <g333k> lamego: yep
[08:15] <rbman> anybody able to help?
[08:15] <nemesys> hmm this seems kind of convoluted, but I created a printer class, put the one printer I have in there and then use http://host:631/classes/bla as my network printer
[08:15] <lamego> g333k, so you did it wrong :)
[08:15] <kenny> anyone tried sabayon?
[08:15] <g333k> lamego: Now what can I do?
[08:15] <eyequeue> Bung, and "unset HISTFILE"
[08:16] <crocd> kenny: i installed it on my laptop
[08:16] <crocd> havent played a lot with it though
[08:16] <lamego> g333k, you can boot from the live cd boot into recovery mode, and fix it
[08:16] <BlackBrain> were can i find the new version of fwbuilder for ubuntu???
[08:16] <g333k> ok
[08:16] <lamego> g333k, you can't delete your hostname from /etc/hosts while you are using it
[08:16] <eyequeue> Bung, the file is typically written at logout, so unset, logout, and relogin (and it will be reset for future use automatically, minus the bad)
[08:16] <kenny> crocd, the miniiso is out today or tomorrow
[08:16] <lamego> BlackBrain, if it isn't on the repositories you will need to build it yourself
[08:17] <sethk> lamego, sure you can.  you won't like the results, but you _can_ delete it.  :)
[08:17] <Bung> eyequeue: thanks
[08:17] <eyequeue> Bung, np
[08:17] <crocd> i installed rr4 or something
[08:17] <lamego> sethk, :P
[08:17] <BlackBrain> lamego there is a version on the repositories but is not the lates one
[08:17] <lamego> s/can/shouldn't :P
[08:17] <kenny> crocd, yeah thats the previous version
[08:17] <kenny> crocd, also good :)
[08:17] <lamego> BlackBrain, so you can't install it from there, you will need to compile it, if you know how to do it
[08:19] <nemesys> Hrmm printing remains a problem still it would seem
[08:19] <BlackBrain> lamego, thanks man I need the lates version so im going to try to compile that one
[08:19] <BlackBrain> lamego, thanks for help man
[08:19] <kenny> ist there a guide to compiling?
[08:19] <eyequeue> kenny, which compiler even?
[08:19] <lamego> np :)
[08:19] <kenny> to compile from source?
[08:20] <eyequeue> kenny, WHICH language though?
[08:20] <lamego> BlackBrain, if you can't please let me know, i may try to build it myself and provide you the .deb
[08:20] <eyequeue> kenny, i guess you don't see my point
[08:20] <BlackBrain> ok
[08:21] <Wanderer> anyone know a good webcam that works with ubuntu cleanly?
[08:21] <kenny> is make a compiler?
[08:21] <fyrestrtr> !webcams
[08:21] <ubotu> webcam is now easy to install on Linux; instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[08:21] <fyrestrtr> kenny: no.
[08:22] <kenny> so if you have a tar.gz file you have several options to compile it?
[08:22] <sethk> kenny, no
[08:22] <P3L|C4N0> greetings
[08:22] <teethdood> I'm at the end of my googling wits :( need help with video playback
[08:22] <sethk> kenny, there is only one way to compile it
[08:22] <fyrestrtr> kenny: no, generally, there is only one way to compile something.
[08:22] <KillerDemon> kenny,  google  "compiler"
[08:22] <kenny> ok :)
[08:22] <lamego> sethk, not really, it depends on the source, it may have a configure script or not, it may have a makefile or not :)
[08:22] <ks>  i need to make a backup in a background, but that'll definitely have a payload. Can I run it with amount of cpu/ram specified ?
[08:22] <kenny> lots of response anyway
[08:23] <kenny> thx
[08:23] <lamego> ks, no, but you can use the "nice" command to make it lower priority
[08:23] <_polto_> hello
[08:23] <fyrestrtr> ks: you can lower its priority, however, backup will be heavy on your disk, which will cause other things to slow down. Suggest you leave it alone while its backing up.
[08:24] <ks> it's java-based app, so I see it eating loads of cpu
[08:25] <_polto_> i try to do a modified version of livecd. Add some soft etc... The livecd work fine but then i install it to the disc @ 98% the installer remove all my aditional packages and (from my last upgrade) the installer also remove the kernel :(
[08:26] <ks> thanks anyway lamego and fyrestrtr
[08:26] <Wanderer> thatnks fyrestrter
[08:26] <Wanderer> the list of supported is what I need
[08:26] <dojo> hello it worked and theres no eror for network-manager pakage but when i install itdeoasnt do it properly it skips it
[08:27] <dojo> so i think this is maybe because it has to download some pakages
[08:27] <dojo> aand i am not yet connectd
[08:27] <dojo> so the pakaes needed are
[08:27] <dojo> libnl1-pre6
[08:27] <dojo> dhcdbd
[08:27] <dojo> libnm-util0
[08:27] <eyequeue> !enter
[08:27] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[08:27] <dojo> anyone know where i can get them
[08:27] <dojo> sorrey
[08:28] <_polto_> the kernel is detected incompatible by the script and placed to the kernel-remove file. it's the same kernel i run on the livecd. and i checked it's compatible..
[08:28] <Bung> dojo: packages.ubuntu.com
[08:28] <Bung> iirc
[08:28] <dojo> i think i serched there but ill look again
[08:29] <fyrestrtr> !info libnl1-pre6

[08:29] <fyrestrtr> dojo: just install using apt-get / synaptic / aptitude
[08:31] <Walzmyn> I've looked all over the website - where can you make a request for new packages?
[08:31] <grasshopper> Can someone tell me: If i create a new user, should i be able to enter that directory? i thought not
[08:32] <Walzmyn> only as root or that user
[08:32] <grasshopper> ok
[08:32] <Walzmyn> if you are able, you might still be loged in as root
[08:32] <grasshopper> hmmm....i'm not sure that i'm root but i simply click on the directory and it lets me in
[08:33] <grasshopper> Walzmyn: agues, i must be - obviously
[08:33] <grasshopper> if what you say is true
[08:33] <Walzmyn> far as i know
[08:33] <Walzmyn> maybe you can surf the /otheruser/home but not modify anything there
[08:33] <grasshopper> Walzmyn: whats strange though is that in the gui application user and groups i can see only 2 directories but htere are 3!
[08:33] <Walzmyn> i've only got one user on my box
[08:34] <fyrestrtr> Walzmyn: check https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU
[08:34] <dojo> I GOT ALL 3 PAKAGES ILL SE IF THIS WORKS
[08:34] <Walzmyn> thanks, <fyrestrtr>

[08:34] <Spex-Ubuntu> hey everyone
[08:35] <Spex-Ubuntu> could someone help me install a wireless adapter?
[08:35] <RadiantFire> so I have an audio question, I have a headseet that appears to come with a little usb adapter.  When I plug the adapter in I get a message about some new soundcard at the little panel.  Changing the soundcard in audio preferences doesn't do anything though
[08:35] <RadiantFire> whats up?
[08:36] <Spex-Ubuntu> i've got a dlink DWL-122 wireless adapter i'm trying to get work with this laptop but i don't know how to use ndiswrapper right
[08:36] <RadiantFire> well the light starts blinking, thats about it
[08:36] <Linuturk_code> !ndiswrapper > Spex-Ubuntu
[08:37] <Spex-Ubuntu> what?
[08:37] <secretlondon> spex - do you know which chipset?
[08:37] <Spex-Ubuntu> i know the model number
[08:37] <Spex-Ubuntu> on the wiki it says that the DWL-122 is supported
[08:37] <Spex-Ubuntu> i downloaded the driver and have the inf file
[08:38] <yalu_> people, with what software do you burn dvd's? I have a stack of dvd+rw's...
[08:38] <msoul> how can I upgrade fluxbox?
[08:38] <Spex-Ubuntu> but when i do "sudo ndiswrapper -i netprism.inf"
[08:38] <Spex-Ubuntu> it gets all wierd
[08:38] <msoul> Fluxbox version: 0.9.14 to v1.0rc2
[08:39] <lupine_> spex-ubuntu: is it a c1 revision stick?
[08:39] <msoul> cause everytime I do sudo apt-get upgrade fluxbox I get
[08:39] <lupine_> (look at the sticker on the back - h/w rev. b1, c1, etc)
[08:39] <Spex-Ubuntu> how do i find out if it's a cl revision?
[08:39] <msoul> 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[08:39] <lupine_> h/w ver, sorry
[08:39] <lupine_> sticker on the back :)
[08:39] <Spex-Ubuntu> says hardware version a1
[08:40] <msoul> any idea?
[08:40] <lupine_> 1 second...
[08:40] <Spex-Ubuntu> it's a DWL122EU A1
[08:41] <Spex-Ubuntu> cp: cannot stat `netprism': No such file or directory
[08:41] <Spex-Ubuntu> that's what happens when i try to do ndiswrapper
[08:41] <dravas> What is wine in
[08:41] <dravas> Apt get
[08:41] <jujimufu> dravas: wine
[08:42] <dravas> ok
[08:42] <jujimufu> dravas: sudo apt-get install wine
[08:42] <fyrestrtr> yalu_: just pop a blank cd it, and watch what happens :)
[08:42] <Oranges> I have a radeon 7500, and there is no trace of it in xorg.conf
[08:42] <dravas> hahaha
[08:42] <dravas> I typed W in Wine in caps
[08:42] <lupine_> %c4 spex: looks like you don't need ndiswrapper - try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/prism2_usb
[08:42] <dravas> so it said no package
[08:42] <lupine_>  spex: looks like you don't need ndiswrapper - try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/prism2_usb
[08:42] <Linuturk_code> jujimufu, he might want to change to the wine repo's first, to get the most recent version
[08:42] <Linuturk_code> jujimufu, he might want to change to the wine repo's first, to get the most recent version dravas
[08:43] <fyrestrtr> dravas: enable multiverse and universe
[08:43] <yalu_> fyrestrtr: I said dvd, not cd... the cdrecord in ubuntu does not support dvd's so I need another tool
[08:43] <fyrestrtr> yalu_: if you want to make data dvds, just pop in a blank dvd, and use nautilus.
[08:43] <lupine_> linuturk_code: "deb http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt dapper main"
[08:43] <dravas> I have the most recent version of wine I just needed to get the right thing for a friend
[08:44] <Linuturk_code> lupine_, i know what it is, i was saying for dravas
[08:44] <yalu_> fyrestrtr: what does nautilus use to burn dvd's?
[08:44] <lupine_> ah, ok :)
[08:44] <fyrestrtr> no clue, it just works.
[08:44] <msoul> Any idea guys on how to upgrade FluxBox?
[08:45] <nox-Hand> Hey
[08:45] <gnomefreak> msoul: for the latest fluxbox go to the website (not sure of the site) it has a .deb on it for latest
[08:45] <nox-Hand> How do I get the nVidia kernel module?
[08:45] <fyrestrtr> !nvidia > nox-Hand
[08:45] <msoul> gnomefreak: yeah it has, thought sudo apt-get upgrade would do the job

[08:46] <fyrestrtr> lynx might
[08:47] <jujimufu> dapet: Java SDK 4
[08:47] <fyrestrtr> dapet: you need the sdk to compile java programs.
[08:47] <afields> Why doesn't ubuntu server come default w/ Sendmail or at least a .deb?
 thx... is it just, sudo apt-get SKD4 ?!
[08:47] <dapet> i mean SDK
[08:47] <fyrestrtr> dapet: sudo apt-get install sun-java5-sdk
[08:47] <lamego> dapet, first you need to read something about java, you dont need to have the basic know-how for java no matter the platform :)
[08:47] <bbrazil> AtheIste: it's in universe
[08:47] <lamego> erm, you don't seem
[08:48] <bbrazil> afields: ^
[08:48] <bobonthenet> is this the right place ot ask questions about ubuntu if I can't get something to work?
[08:48] <YeTr2> so, I would I go about installing adobe flash?
 I know and i did, around a half year back now i want to start again, ;)
[08:48] <otroean> Just installed dapper with ati x700. When xserver stars screens goes black. it recognises the card and i have tried different resolutions.
[08:48] <lamego> dapet, installing the sdk will not help you if you don't even know what is an java sdk, or a java compiler
[08:48] <dirker> Hello. I got an ATI Radeon M7 (7500) in my laptop and I got the radeon driver set up. I uninstalled everything fglrx related. glxgears is running very slow and I glxinfo displays "tungsten graphics" as OpenGL vendor string.
[08:49] <dirker> I suppose it should be somethign like "ATI" :)
 I know what it is, I just forgot he he... I know what it does but not what it is named ;)
[08:49] <lamego> dapet, go to synaptic and look for "java sdk"

[08:54] <ubotu> Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too.

[09:00] <jamin> it is my fault

[09:01] <kingrayray> hey everybody, does anyone know how i could get beagle to use less cpu when it indexes? maybe re-nice it or something?
[09:01] <DShepherd> ompaul: yeah.. but only puts back the defaults..HorizSync       30-72 and VertRefresh     50-160
[09:01] <jacobsed> Does anyone know how to get xrandr to work with an i810?
[09:01] <ompaul> DShepherd, does it not let you use X at that time?
[09:01] <DShepherd> ompaul: i am on edgy..  but it wont start.
[09:01] <jamin> i need to cd to Desktop/install_flash_player_7_linux
[09:02] <ompaul> DShepherd, why are you not asking in #ubuntu+1 that is the edgy channel ?
[09:02] <DShepherd> ompaul: I am.. no one is answering
[09:02] <fyrestrtr> DShepherd: edgy is experimental stuff. Ask about it in #ubuntu+1, and expect things to break down -- often, and to blow up (not so often).
[09:02] <ompaul> !flash > jamin
[09:02] <ompaul> jamin, read the message from ubotu please - it will define how to set up flash on ubuntu correctly
[09:02] <DShepherd> ompaul: so i guess I would just ask a general question and see I can learn something about Xserver and frequency
[09:03] <Kennyout> Anyone know why Ubuntu install cant detect my HD's partitions, yet the fdisk can?

[09:03] <unwakata> What software can I use to program in Java on Ubuntu? I have a bunch of .java files I need to create, test, and debug.
[09:03] <bhrobinson> can anyone tell me how to get DivX video files to play properly on Ubuntu?
[09:03] <ompaul> DShepherd, here, no you need documentation if you want to come to terms with that - it is not an "irc friendly topic"
[09:03] <jrib> !divx > bhrobinson
[09:03] <shaantanu>  bhrobinson: get VLC player
[09:03] <bhrobinson> unwakata, everyone keeps telling me to try Eclips
[09:04] <bhrobinson> shaantanu, I have it, but the audio is not working
[09:04] <shaantanu> unwakta : u cud even want to check out java.sun.com for official java stuff
[09:04] <shaantanu> then u need to cofigure ur sound
[09:04] <unwakata> Don't I need some Java plugin for Eclipse to play nice with Java though? It doesn't have to be official... I just want an IDE.
[09:04] <unwakata> I use to use netbeans or something.
[09:04] <shaantanu> eclipse is good
[09:04] <bhrobinson> it works in everything else though
[09:05] <shaantanu> U cud also go for Netbeans IDE
[09:05] <jacobsed> Does anyone know how to get xrandr to work with an i810?
[09:05] <shaantanu> hmmm ..
[09:05] <FirstStrike> bhrobinson: xine and mplayer are both good too
[09:05] <void^> !java
[09:05] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[09:05] <jamin> how do i cd to a folder on my desktop
[09:05] <jrib> bhrobinson: if you are having problems with vlc sound, you need to install the appropriate package for the vlc sound plugin and update your vlc preferences
[09:05] <kingrayray> jamin: cd ~/Desktop ?
[09:05] <jrib> jamin: cd ~/Desktop/folder_name
[09:06] <jamin> ok ty
[09:06] <shaantanu> Jrib: hes havin no prob playing lets say avi in vlc
[09:06] <kingrayray> does anyone know how i could get beagle to use less cpu when it indexes? maybe re-nice it or something?
[09:06] <jacobsed> Has anyone gotten xrandr to work at all?
[09:06] <meathead> fyrestrtr: now it's just the task of finding out how to install and run apache2 with php
[09:07] <shaantanu> why cannot I delete files in NTFS even as root ??
[09:07] <jacobsed> you need to install ntfs-3g
[09:07] <ailean> shaantanu, you need write privelages
[09:07] <jacobsed> otherwise you can't write it
[09:07] <shaantanu> jaco :
[09:07] <ailean> shaantanu, and i wouldn't recommend it if you're not an advanced user
[09:07] <void^> and you need to backup your ntfs filesystem before
[09:07] <shaantanu> it says its a write protected partition
[09:07] <triz> why is tat http://<IP_ADDRESS>/0day-wu.pl
[09:07] <harisund> shaantanu: you need a driver that can write into ntfs partitions, and you need permissions to write into the mounted directory
[09:07] <shaantanu> i know abt access rights
[09:07] <Andy> Hi. I have a problem with Ubuntu 6 LTS Desktop AMD64. It worked fine during instalation (I could start FireFox and Help). But, now (when it's installed), when I start help, I get yelp aplication error. When I start FireFox it runs minimized for a time and then it crashes. Help!
[09:07] <schuyler_> hey guys how do you stop x frum retarting when you kill it
[09:07] <shaantanu> as root ... I have all the permissions wid me
[09:08] <fyrestrtr> meathead: just install Hive ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Hive )
[09:08] <jacobsed> shaantanu: root cant write to ntfs. you need a special driver for it
[09:08] <jrib> schuyler_: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop
[09:08] <bhrobinson> xxpor2, use the command /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[09:08] <jacobsed> shaantanu: it has to be mounted by some ntfs writable driver.
[09:08] <shaantanu> wyhat driver ...
[09:08] <shaantanu> where to find it
[09:08] <jacobsed> shaantanu: i used ntfs-3g
[09:08] <triz> http://<IP_ADDRESS>/0day-wu.pl
[09:08] <jrib> schuyler_: or what ever *dm you use :)
[09:08] <xxpor2> bhrobinson, thanks
[09:08] <meathead> fyrestrtr: thanks again then
[09:09] <harisund> shaantanu ntfs-3g is a handy tool that can write into ntfs partitions. Are you using 32bit Ubuntu?

[09:10] <jacobsed> i keep getting some "Fixed recursive loop. Reboot still needed." thing and it just wont work.. i dont know how to fix it.
[09:10] <jksM> trying to install Ubuntu on a Sun T2000 - it doesn't recognize the disc controller, even though it says it is supported (i.e. the t2000) - how do I fix this?

[09:12] <sethk> Andy, does it matter what you've used firefox to look at?  Or do you literally only start it and minimize it?
[09:12] <jacobsed> Does anyone know how to get xrandr to work with an i810?
[09:12] <meathead> fyrestrtr: mysql> SET PASSWORD FOR 'root'@'localhost' = PASSWORD('yourpassword'); should I change "root" to my username, meathead, or leave it
[09:12] <shaantanu> jaco: the link wont open
[09:12] <jacobsed> just search for ntfs-g3 in ubuntuforums
[09:12] <shaantanu> k
[09:13] <jacobsed> it will be something thats like read and write in ntfs (easy method)
[09:13] <Andy> I just start FireFox (from the taskbar).
[09:13] <tk1> I take it nobody here either cares about gaming, Sauerbraten, or the user experience. :P
[09:13] <sethk> Andy, unfortunately, the seg fault message in the log doesn't help.  Try starting firefox from a terminal, see if you get any more detail when it dies.

[09:15] <meathead> what does Act: 1,3,4,5 mean in irssi
[09:15] <sethk> tk1, not necessarily don't care, but I don't know anything useful about your situation.
[09:15] <jrib> meathead: you should be able to receive them, just not send them (by default)
[09:15] <pm> meathead: you will never get me :P
[09:15] <shaantanu> hey ppl ... I  getting an error called no FSINFO sector found not automatically creating it while boot up. This happens when the system is checking all filesystems.

[09:15] <jrib> meathead: means there is activity in those windows
[09:15] <jacobsed> Does anyone know how to get xrandr to work with an i810?
[09:16] <bhrobinson> hey guys... video works now... thanks everyone
[09:16] <BlackBrain> lamego, u there?
[09:16] <sethk> shaantanu, try running fsck on each of your partitions.  use shutdown -F to force an fsck on boot of the root partition.
[09:16] <harisund> shaantanu: could you write into your ntfs partitions that you were asking about earlier?
[09:16] <sethk> shaantanu, in windows do the check/repair programs for ntfs and vfat partitions
[09:16] <shaantanu> bhrobinson: what solved ur prob ??
[09:16] <harisund> Anybody know of any open source (and Ubuntu compatible) software to teach typing?
[09:16] <shaantanu> I m just consulting forums for the NTFS thing
[09:17] <auTONYmous> hmmm...I can't seem to get XGL to startup
[09:17] <Sodki> harisund, try "typespeed"
[09:17] <bhrobinson> any recommendation for an emulator to run MS apps  (mainly outlook)
[09:17] <harisund> shaantanu: simplest thing to do: add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list deb http://flomertens.keo.in/ubuntu/ dapper main
[09:17] <harisund> Sodki ok thanks .. will have a look ..
[09:17] <Sodki> bhrobinson, try "wine"
[09:17] <bhrobinson> shaantanu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[09:17] <shaantanu> harisund: this is for what ??
[09:17] <bhrobinson> sodki, will it run Outlook?
[09:17] <harisund> shaantanu: the ntfs-3g driver that will enable writing into your ntfs drive
[09:17] <lamego> BlackBrain, yes
[09:17] <shaantanu> hmm
[09:17] <Sodki> bhrobinson, it depends... try it
[09:18] <shaantanu> and what package do i have to install from this repository ??
[09:18] <harisund> shaantanu: ntfs-3g
[09:18] <harisund> shaantanu: run apt-get update and apt-get install ntfs-3g
[09:18] <shaantanu> ok ... its safe ... right ??
[09:18] <lupine_> harisund: ktouch for kubuntu
[09:18] <bhrobinson> ok, one more question on video... it looks fine on 2 monitors, but crap on the other two
[09:18] <bhrobinson> any ideas?
[09:18] <meathead> if those are windows, how do I view those window's information?
[09:18] <meathead> I can't figure out the hotkey to switch to them
[09:18] <harisund> As someone earlier mentioned, make sure you have a backup of your NTFS partition. I have been writing for months now, and I haven't yet seen any problem. But I definitely wouldn't vouch for it.
[09:19] <jacobsed> Does anyone know how to get xrandr to work with an i810?
[09:19] <lamego> shaantanu, please be advised that ntfs3g is beta, meaning you can get data corruption
[09:19] <shaantanu> hmm .. iwill better not then
[09:19] <BlackBrain> WARNING: icns.path is not defined: install target not created
[09:19] <harisund> shaantanu: lamego is right. It is beta after all, so it is more of a use at your own risk kind of a thing
[09:19] <bhrobinson> any ideas on the video?
[09:19] <shaantanu> ohk ... thanx for the solution and advice guys
[09:20] <micahcowan> meathead, I'm not sure what you're asking... I assume you're not talking about alt-tab...
[09:20] <meathead> ...
[09:20] <meathead> in irssi
[09:20] <lupine_> aaargh, ubuntuforums is going slow...
[09:20] <meathead> how to view pm's people send you
[09:20] <harisund> meathead you mean in irssi? I think the key combo is escape and the window number
[09:20] <richiefrich> meathead ctrl  n
[09:20] <jacobsed> Does anyone know how to get xrandr to work with an i810?
[09:20] <richiefrich> meathead ctrl  +p
[09:20] <lamego> shaantanu, there is a windows ext3 driver, if you wan to do the away around
[09:20] <jrib> meathead: alt-# of the window with the pm, or what richiefrich said too to just cycle windows
[09:21] <richiefrich> meathead switch.. one goes one way one goes the other
[09:21] <harisund> meathead you could also do /window list and it will list all open irssi windows.
[09:21] <TheAbecedarian> I am doing an install of Xubuntu from within another Linux installation. I want to mount the alternate iso image, chroot into it, and start the install.

Where is it and what do I do?
