[03:40] <Dr_willis> daedra,  i edit the grub menu.lst and get rid of the splash, and fb. as for gdm. disable it from the services. (rc2.d) directory
[03:41] <daedra> Dr_willis: why do I need to trash the fb?
[03:41] <Dr_willis> daedra,  because its lame and slows things down. :)
[03:42] <daedra> but I want small text
[03:42] <Dr_willis> daedra,  and ive had issues with it and my X server  on some machines
[03:42] <Dr_willis> daedra,  squint then.. :) do whateverya want .. its YOUR linux box.. paint it hot pink and puce if ya want to.
[03:42] <daedra> :p
[03:43] <Dr_willis> on some of my machines in the past. Ive had issues werhe i could not use the console if it was 'framebuffered' it would show garbage
[03:43] <aguitel> fsck need administratives atributes
[03:43] <Dr_willis> aguitel,  its a system-wide/kind of tool.. so yes...
[03:43] <daedra> Dr_willis: where is that rc2.d directory?
[03:44] <Dr_willis> daedra,  in /etc/ with all the other rc stuff
[03:44] <Dr_willis> !sysv
[03:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sysv - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:44] <daedra> nice
[03:44] <daedra> r2d2
[03:45] <aguitel> how i fix o repair errors in files,archives directories  ?
[03:45] <Adel> hey guyz can anyone helpme plz??
[03:46] <Dr_willis> aguitel,  as said earlier.. fsck can auto-run when you reboot, or you can force it to run when you reboot.
[03:46] <Dr_willis> !fsck | aguitel
[03:46] <ubotu> aguitel: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[03:46] <Cornell> oh-oh partitioning failed...   I've a 197 Gig partitions on sda, sda5.  I'm trying to repartition it to 2 partitions, 20 gig for / and the rest for /home.  I couldn't change the partition, so I deleted it.  hit the new partition button and created two logical paritions, sda5 and sda6, as / and /home as ext3 and continued... it said it failed.  The other partitions have a Windows XP installation
[03:46] <daedra> Dr_willis: I'm not familiar with disabling services
[03:46] <daedra> Dr_willis: could you walk me through /etc/rc2.d/S13gdm
[03:46] <Dr_willis> daedra,  time to learn then i guess. :) one of the top things for leet-haxors to use.
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Cornell: Are you running livecd?
[03:47] <aguitel> man   fsck
[03:47] <Cornell> yes, Jack_Sparrow
[03:47] <daedra> lol, IntuitiveNipple
[03:47] <Dr_willis> daedra,   more /etc/init.d/README      for a start
[03:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Cornell: I assume you unmounted them first?
[03:47] <aguitel> man fsck
[03:47] <daedra> Dr_willis: k
[03:47] <aguitel> !man fsck
[03:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about man fsck - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:47] <Dr_willis> daedra,  just delete that link. :) it will stop it from running. Its worth learning all about
[03:48] <Cornell> I didn't think they'd've been mounted, Jack_Sparrow
[03:48] <Jack_Sparrow> Cornell: What does gparted or fdisk -l from terminal show your current partitions to be?
[03:48] <Dr_willis> aguitel,  'man fsck' in a terminal to see the man pages for it
[03:49] <daedra> Dr_willis: I'll need to make a copy of it for safekeeping
[03:49] <aguitel> order not found
[03:49] <Dr_willis> daedra,  if you want.. :) this is linux.. paint it pink if you want.
[03:49] <Cornell> Doesn't show sda, just /dev/sdb, /dev/sdg and /dev/sdg1 (fdisk -l), Jack_Sparrow
[03:49] <shiv_j> how do I use/modify bottom part of this for kubuntu? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowtoSetupExternalMonitorForIntel915?highlight=%28CategoryHardware%29
[03:50] <Adel> something happened and the bottom panel disappeared can anyone help me get it back
[03:50] <knix_> I cant sync my "lg chocolate" to bitpim.  Anyone experienced with bitpim or something like it?
[03:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Cornell: Is sdg a usb ?
[03:50] <Riyonuk__> Ok, I installed my driver using ndiswrapper
[03:51] <Cornell> yes
[03:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Cornell: Do you have two internal hard drives?
[03:51] <daedra> Dr_willis: another thing I notice with ubuntu is that once you CTRL+ATL+BKSPC out of gnome it just restarts!
[03:51] <Cornell> No
[03:51] <Riyonuk__> now when I click the nm-applet, it says its connecting, but it never does :/
[03:51] <Riyonuk__> Not even one of the balls turns green
[03:51] <Frogzoo> daedra: yes, that's what that key combo does
[03:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Cornell: One internal hard drive showing up as sdb...  sata or ide drives?
[03:51] <daedra> Frogzoo: I want to kill it.
[03:52] <Dr_willis> daedra,  gdm is a service.. so yes..it restarts when killed.
[03:52] <daedra> Frogzoo: KILL IT WITH FIRE
[03:52] <daedra> Dr_willis: but I just deleted the symlink
[03:52] <Cornell> Tried gparted... "The kernel is unable to re-read the partitiontables on the following devices - /dev/sda"  "... Unmount all mounted paritiions on a device to get full access."  Perhaps the partioning effort of install, Jack_Sparrow ?
[03:52] <Adel>  something happened and the bottom panel disappeared can anyone help me get it back??
[03:52] <Frogzoo> daedra: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[03:53] <Dr_willis> daedra,  so..  :) the service is still running.
[03:53] <Dr_willis> Linux FUNdamentals
[03:53] <Frogzoo> daedra: to stop it permanently, remove the /etc/rc2.d/*gdm symlink
[03:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Adel: right click top panel and add new panel and set it to the bottom of the screen
[03:53] <Dr_willis> the scripts are ran at startup, not every 10 sec.. :)
[03:53] <Cornell> Jack_sparrow: One drive, sata..  Shall I just turn it off, (pull the usbs) and start the livecd again?
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Cornell: I hate it when fdisk and gparted cant agree...
[03:54] <Adel> jack_sparow: i did that and look what happened
[03:54] <daedra> Dr_willis: ahhh, so I'll need a reboot
[03:54] <chris_nut> My xorg.conf file lists the only modes avaialable as 1280 x 800 but the GNOME desktop resolution applet only lets me select 1024 x 768. What's up with that?
[03:54] <Cornell> ;-)
[03:54] <Dr_willis> daedra,  or kill the gdm service
[03:54] <daedra> these services look fun
[03:54] <daedra> yea
[03:54] <Jack_Sparrow> Adel: I am working on a previous problem...
[03:54] <daedra> I'm gonna make some daemons
[03:54] <mosno> chris_nut: probably set your hoz/vert refresh
[03:54] <Adel> http://img523.imageshack.us/img523/1667/screenshotzf2.png
[03:55] <chris_nut> mosno, there is no option in the drop down apart from the default.
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> Cornell: Do that and come back... it cant hurt
[03:55] <mosno> chris_nut: which driver
[03:55] <Adel> jack_sparow: ok can u tell me when ur done?
[03:55] <Dr_willis> daedra,  thats a big jump for someone that dident even know where rc2.d was untill 4 min ago. :)
[03:55] <Cornell> Jack_Sparrow , k
[03:55] <chris_nut> mosno, vesa
[03:55] <Adel> plz
[03:55] <mosno> chris_nut: studied your /var/log
[03:55] <daedra> Dr_willis: I'm familiar with a few things - my learning path is a little screwed up
[03:56] <chris_nut> Adel, you should use full english.
[03:56] <chris_nut> mosno, nope - will poke around for a few minutes.
[03:56] <Jack_Sparrow> Adel: Change your screen res to something lower and see if it changes where that bar sits..
[03:56] <chris_nut> mosno, which specific logfile will be interesting?
[03:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Adel: Wife just got up.. I need to spend time with her.. hope you understand..
[03:57] <notwist> Adel: pidgin = better then gaim
[03:57] <Jaydoggg> Hi All
[03:57] <chris_nut> notwist, pidgin is gaim.
[03:57] <Smithers> Hey JayDog
[03:58] <notwist> chris_nut: no, but it's the same project
[03:58] <Jaydoggg> anyone seen Pelo today?
[03:58] <ShackJack> chris_nut: pidgin is gaim + :)
[03:58] <Adel> jack_sparow: i changed it to 800*600, and its still the same
[03:58] <Smithers> Can't say that I have
[03:58] <IndyGunFrea> chris_nut, there are suddle differences in the two programs.
[03:58] <IndyGunFrea> *subtle
[03:58] <notwist> if pidgin is gaim then windows vista is windows xp
[03:58] <Adel> jack_sparrow: k no prob
[03:58] <abedo> guys I put a php file in var/www  , but when I click a link that point to this file , It open the download dialog instead go to another page .
[03:58] <Adel> thx anyways
[03:58] <Cornell> BTW, jack_sparrow, when livecd comes up, with my widescreen, looks good, but the highest resolution is 800*600 and I can't see the bottom of the windows.  Like where the ok and cancel buttons are.  How can I increase the resolution (without the preferences/screen resolution, which shows 800 as the highest)?  or move the windows without using the title bar.
[03:58] <Jaydoggg> I need help getting grub to see my windows install on another drive, anyone game?
[03:58] <notwist> abedo: php isnt installed correctly
[03:58] <Smithers> notwist: How did you come up with that
[03:59] <notwist> Smithers: huh?
[03:59] <daedra> my bum is in the cheese
[03:59] <Smithers> notwist: Vista is XP
[03:59] <IndyGunFrea> lol
[03:59] <Smithers> notwist: Why do you say that?
[03:59] <Jaydoggg> vista is horrid
[03:59] <notwist> Smithers: i meant "if gaim is pidgin then vista is xp"
[03:59] <mosno> Jaydoggg: and i was strongarmed into buying it
[03:59] <abedo> notwist: how to ensure a correct installation :(
[03:59] <notwist> abedo: of pidgin?
[03:59] <Smithers> notwist: Oh you were being sarcastic
[04:00] <notwist> Smithers: yeah :)
[04:00] <Jaydoggg> i'd have to be at gunpoint to buy it
[04:00] <Smithers> notwist: Got ya
[04:00] <abedo> no of php ..
[04:00] <mosno> Jaydoggg: no laptop comes without it, no decent one at least, not in Australia afaik
[04:00] <acidx> Cornell, to move windows without the title bar, press the alt key and drag the window.
[04:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Cornell: try auto config on your monitor buttons
[04:00] <ShackJack> Jaydoggg: decent guide on auto mounting partitions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[04:00] <Smithers> How do you make a application the default application for that file type?
[04:00] <mosno> Jaydoggg: and i forgot to call the vendor and complain like a good little GNU boy (damn)
[04:00] <notwist> abedo: google for like "ubuntu apache php", there are apt-get commands you can use to make it work instantly
[04:01] <abedo> notwist: installation of php
[04:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Cornell: FYI, I need to go spend time with the wife....  someone can pick up where we left off.
[04:01] <Jaydoggg> mosno here in the states they are starting to get hip and allow either XP or Vista
[04:01] <Cornell> k
[04:01] <Jaydoggg> ShackJack: thx a bunch
[04:01] <mosno> Jaydoggg: i wanted 'no OS'
[04:01] <mosno> why is that so hard?

[04:05] <mosno> oh well
[04:06] <ph8> thnx jack
[04:06] <notwist> mosno: depends on what youre going to use it for as well

[04:09] <barbie> hi, i want to run one of my script after all the services have started... how to do so?
[04:09] <Dr_willis> barbie,  thats what rc.local is for
[04:10] <Dr_willis> !rc.local
[04:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rc.local - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:10] <Dr_willis> Hmm..
[04:10] <Dr_willis> !startup
[04:10] <ubotu> To add programs to start up when you log into your Gnome session go to System>Preferences>Sessions and use the Startup Programs tab. For more information, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup - See !boot for starting non-interactive programs at boot

[04:10] <Cornell> Dang... shutdwon machine, pulled USB, booted...  neither kb nor mouse work :-(

[04:10] <Adel> ok then?
[04:10] <giany911> guys if i run compiz on a new session with xgl server .. is it any faster than running it on a normal gnome session ?
[04:10] <Dr_willis> stdin,  thats all i woudl be doing all day long.... :)
[04:10] <saxartist> Adel: what's listed there?
[04:10] <john__> i was playing with the menus and found something called "Configuration Editor" - i enabled it and opened it up. it looked kind of similar to the Windows Registry (i mean, settings that you can change for various applications etc)
[04:10] <barbie> Dr_willis, i never edited rc.local......... any special pattern or format?
[04:10] <Dr_willis> stdin,  wonder how many mb of factoids the bot has now.
[04:10] <ShackJack> giany911: Don't use XGL is you don't have to...
[04:11] <nslater_laptop> kauer, 1280x800
[04:11] <giany911> ShackJack: so no performance increase ?
[04:11] <john__> i tried moving Configuration Editor and it disappeared from the menu editor, and it's not in my menus at all! :(
[04:11] <ShackJack> john__: It has some use.. but most things it set can be set elsewhere...
[04:11] <Dr_willis> barbie,  its a shell script. be sure to keep exit 0 at the end. and dont start stuff that wont return. unless you spawn it to the bg. with &

[04:11] <ShackJack> giany911: No - XGL is a sort of workaround - if you can use built in AIGLX or Nvidia then go for it..
[04:11] <saxartist> okay, so you have 2 panels
[04:11] <saxartist> delete one of them
[04:11] <giany911> k thx
[04:11] <saxartist> and see if the other works
[04:11] <Adel> which one?
[04:11] <saxartist> Adel: doesn't matter
[04:12] <thavorn> kde are confusing
[04:12] <john__> Shackjack: i like the idea of a single goto place to edit general settings, being so used to windows
[04:12] <Adel> how do i delete it?
[04:12] <Dr_willis> MMxs,  this aint some porn video is it? and the first few secs are an advertisament saying 'go to whatever.com and get the codecs to watch the movie' ?
[04:12] <ShackJack> john__: May have just moved somewhere else or is "unchecked" in the menu... at any rate the command line in gconf-editor you can add it back
[04:12] <Jaydoggg> i'm stuck on trying to boot to windows from grub... here's where i'm stuck 18 : "Invalid or unsupported executable format"
[04:12] <Jaydoggg> This error is returned if the kernel image boing loaded is not recognized as Multiboot or one of the supported native formats (Linux zImage or bzImage, FreeBSD, or NetBSD).
[04:12] <barbie> ok thanks
[04:12] <kauer> nnslater: That is one resolution. Is it the desired one, or the one you are getting forced on you? What is the other resolution?
[04:12] <saxartist> john__: alt-f2, run "alacarte" then put conf editor back
[04:12] <Adel> saxartist: how do i delete it?
[04:12] <john__> thanks you guys. exactly what i needed to know. :-)
[04:12] <ShackJack> john__: I have my desktop set up more or less like windows... single panel accross bottom and gconf was handy foor putting my trash can and home folder on desktop where they ought to be ;)
[04:13] <nslater_laptop> kauer, thats the desired resolution, the one forced on me is something like 1124, 7XX or something?
[04:13] <saxartist> Adel:  sorry, good question.. heh. you can't... change the 'orientation
[04:13] <saxartist> to bottom or what ever
[04:13] <kauer> nslater: 1280x800 is a weird resolution. 1280x1024 would be more normal. Is the one you are getting forced on 1028x768 by any chance?
[04:14] <nslater_laptop> kauer, i am using a widescreen laptop
[04:14] <saxartist> move it around, mess with those numbers until you can see it
[04:14] <Cornell> Rebooted, hit setup, kb works there...  booting from livecd, seems to work now.
[04:14] <saxartist> thats what i did
[04:14] <ShackJack> kauer: Is a regular "widescreen" res for notebooks ;)
[04:14] <nslater_laptop> kauer, yeah - thats the resolution that is forced on me.
[04:14] <Adel> uhu ok thx alot
[04:14] <MMxs> Dr_willis: no, it's normal xvid movie
[04:14] <john__> yah, alacarte is the menu editor thing i was talking about. conf editor disappeared from that menu! :( i'll add a new item using the command "gconf-editor"
[04:14] <Dr_willis> MMxs,  no idea then.. try some other video players, run them from the termional, look for any error/info messages in the termnial
[04:15] <kauer> nslater: is 1280x800 the correct resolution for your laptop screen? i.e, the native resolution?
[04:15] <saxartist> john__: if you run alacarte, you can put alacarte back in your menu
[04:15] <nslater_laptop> kauer, yes - I checked this on Google.
[04:15] <Amaranth> saxartist: right click on 'Applications'
[04:15] <john__> well, i found it the first time by right clicking the menu and clicking "Edit Menus"
[04:16] <Amaranth> john__: that's the recommended way to run it, i'm not even sure why it's in the menu itself
[04:16] <Prowler_1> new beryl stars plugin files i made (kanotix & ubuntu logo's) http://www.beryl-themes.org/content/show.php?content=63718
[04:16] <kauer> nslater: Have you checked the X error outputs? Um, ~/.xsession-errors or similar and any other error logs?
[04:16] <sylverfox> hi, I have a problem with some packages, can somebody help me, please?
[04:16] <kauer> nnslater: Back in 2 minutes...
[04:16] <rshields> 1280x800 is the native resolution on Acer laptops with 15.4" screen
[04:16] <nslater_laptop> kauer, the logs are so big I don't know where to start.
[04:16] <john__> i like the alt+f2. it reminds me of windows' winkey+r. i'll have to change some keyboard bindings later...
[04:16] <Prowler_1> tell me if you like
[04:16] <nslater_laptop> kauer, k - I will look through my logs (again) heh.
[04:16] <Cornell> Dang.... lost all my partitions... byebye XP (that I never used)

[04:16] <ShackJack> !offtopic | Prowler_1
[04:16] <ubotu> Prowler_1: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:17] <Amaranth> Prowler_1: 1) that's spam 2) it's the "snow" plugin :) and 3) you know beryl is discontinued, don't you?
[04:17] <Cornell> And what was that method for moving a window without dragging the title bar
[04:17] <Cornell> ?
[04:17] <ShackJack> Cornell: Hold down ALT
[04:17] <Amaranth> Cornell: alt-click
[04:17] <john__> Cornell: try alt+f7
[04:17] <Cornell> AH, thanks Amaranth , shackjack
[04:18] <Amaranth> john__: wow, even i didn't know that one :)
[04:18] <Amaranth> which is surprising seeing how i work on a WM :)
[04:18] <ShackJack> john__: Good one, john__ !
[04:18] <ShackJack> (dang those IM handles with __ chars at begining/end are annoying)
[04:19] <nslater_laptop> the xorg log says "not using mode "1280x800" no mode by this name" - WTF does that mean?
[04:19] <john__> thanks gusy! i knew alt+m is windows' move command, and i learned it by right-clicking the icon in the top left of the title bar. menu is similar to windows.
[04:19] <saxartist> Adel: test another user account
[04:19] <john__> guys^
[04:19] <Adel> there's only one user on this pc
[04:19] <Amaranth> ShackJack: the ones at the end are default xchat names if 'john' isn't available
[04:19] <dv_> hello
[04:19] <dv_> I accidentally deleted my fonts.alias file
[04:19] <dv_> and now X cannot start
[04:19] <ShackJack> Amaranth: Ahhh... gotcha... my nick is registered @ NickServ
[04:19] <dv_> can anyone give me the file /usr/share/fonts/X11/misc/fonts.alias ?
[04:20] <saxartist> Adel: make another one, then delete it later
[04:20] <Amaranth> dv_: i believe that file is dependent on what fonts you have available
[04:20] <Adel> k
[04:20] <john__> brb
[04:20] <Amaranth> s/available/installed/
[04:20] <dv_> Amaranth, no, it is edited by hand
[04:20] <Amaranth> dv_: not normally
[04:20] <Dr_willis> dv_,  theres a command that remakes them.  i recall. why wereyou editing it by hand?
[04:20] <stdin> dv_: take a look at "man update-fonts-alias"
[04:20] <dv_> and I absolutely need it, otherwise the "cannot open default font 'fixed'" error appears
[04:20] <kauer> nslater: Dunno, but it sure looks like the problem, right?  I'm new to IRC so dunno how you would do that (DON'T dump it to the chat though!)

[04:30] <john__> hey, is it necessary to have the log services running?
[04:30] <exarkun> sylverfox: you could also try dpkg --remove --pending
[04:31] <ShackJack> pchilds: check out #ubuntu-effects or #compiz-fusion for best help...

[04:41] <spheard> hi, I cant see any of the files on my USB disk? anyone any ideas where to begin?
[04:41] <saxartist> Adel: no
[04:41] <saxartist> that's an extra setting
[04:41] <exarkun> spheard: Is the disk mounted?
[04:41] <saxartist> it annoys me
[04:42] <spheard> exarkun: I thought it was meant to automount? how do I check that it is actually mounted?
[04:42] <Adel> oh my friend wants to activate it, and i forgot how i did, can u tell me under which preference it is?
[04:42] <wyrda> salve scusate
[04:42] <wyrda> avrei bisogno di una mano
[04:42] <exarkun> spheard: if you're in gnome, you may have a row of vaguely disk-like icons on your panel
[04:43] <ShackJack> Adel: That's the scale plugin...
[04:43] <wyrda> mi trovo in bash e devo aprire questa cartella Internet Explorer
[04:43] <wyrda> do il comando cd Internet Explorer
[04:43] <exarkun> spheard: usb disks look a little bit different from hard disks, and if you mouse over each one and wait a moment you'll get a popup that gives its name

[04:43] <thavorn> how to add launcher to panel beside right click on panel
[04:43] <wyrda> ops sorry
[04:43] <exarkun> spheard: also, you can open a terminal and just type `mount' to get a list
[04:43] <wyrda> bye
[04:43] <Adel> how can he activate it?
[04:43] <Seoke> When I go to local host its redirecting me to http://localhost/xampp/ wtf...
[04:43] <ShackJack> Adel: Are you using Compiz Fusion?
[04:43] <faileas> Seoke: you have xampp installed?
[04:43] <saxartist> yeah, Adel i can do it in compiz, i don't remember if g can do it
[04:44] <Adel> O ok he doesn't have beryl yet
[04:44] <Seoke> faileas: did, till I realized its a large piece of crap that doesnt work on my computer -_- maybe I didnt completly uninstall it?
[04:44] <faileas> you just need to edit your index.php not to point at XAMPP...
[04:44] <exarkun> spheard: usually it should indeed automount, but sometimes (at least w/ my dapper installs) it fails to notice and you have to unplug it and plug it back in again, or try an explicit mount command
[04:44] <Seoke> faileas: And where is the index.php file located
[04:44] <ShackJack> Adel: You want COmpiz Fusion ;)   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion  Beryl's on its way out...
[04:45] <spheard> exarkun: Im in kde and the only usb like thing on ~$mount is >>procbususb on /proc/bus/usb type usbfs (rw)
[04:45] <faileas> seoke: no idea, i only have xampp on windows
[04:45] <Adel> what do u mean? is it beter
[04:45] <Adel> better*?
[04:45] <Scrippie> interest
[04:45] <Adel> what's the difference between them?
[04:45] <ShackJack> Adel: It's just the remerging of Beryl back into COmpiz - Beryl willno longer be updated.... and better, yes..

[04:46] <exarkun> spheard: Have you tried physically unplugging and then plugging it back in already?
[04:46] <Adel> should i uninstall beryl and replace it with compiz fusion?
[04:46] <ShackJack> Adel: Yep...

[04:49] <kteoh> hi guys, i have a new laptop here (vostro 1400)...ubuntu autodetected my ethernet and intel 3945 wireless (restricted driver), but im having two issues as to getting the network connection up and going
[04:49] <ssa> hello , how can i install s3 graphics prosavag?
[04:49] <kteoh> the ethernet card on the back with light up and all, but ubuntu cannot get an IP via DHCP, nor can it use a static IP
[04:50] <kteoh> will*
[04:50] <exarkun> spheard: the general form is `mount <device> <location>' - <device> will be something like /dev/sda1 (or sdb1 or sdc1, etc).  <location> should just be any existing (empty) directory, which is where you'll be able to access the files after it's mounted
[04:50] <exarkun> spheard: usually something in /media/ is used for <location>
[04:50] <ssa> i had this but for fedora http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?s=&threadid=168951
[04:50] <Cornell> Ok...install done, doing the updates
[04:50] <ssa> any help please?
[04:51] <kteoh> patience is a virtue :)
[04:51] <_jonathan_> mcd: terminal >> sudo cp <original file with complete location> usr/share/wallpaper

[04:51] <mcd> hay ssa - have you tride a google search at google.com/linux?
[04:51] <moyer> how do i see how much video memory have installed?
[04:52] <PriceChild> ssa, #ubuntu-effects and I dont't think you are going to be able to on that card :)

[04:52] <ShackJack> ssa: You want Compiz Fusion ;) Beryl is no more... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion... and I think PriceChild is right ;)
[04:52] <ssa> pricechild why?
[04:52] <mcd> shackjack - like said a newbie will ask there next time....
[04:52] <PriceChild> ssa, because they're old... weak... you won't get decent 3d acceleration for xgl, and I'm not sure whether their drivers support aiglx. I don't know.
[04:53] <ssa> pricechild which cards is good ?
[04:53] <PriceChild> ssa, intel
[04:53] <jacob> i can't seem to hear any music or sound effects i play in my laptop, can somebody help me
[04:53] <moyer> my intel sucks
[04:54] <moyer> get nvidia
[04:54] <PriceChild> !sound | jacob
[04:54] <ubotu> jacob: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[04:54] <PriceChild> moyer, what card do you have?
[04:54] <moyer> intel 82854G
[04:54] <thavorn> !smbfs
[04:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about smbfs - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[04:54] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[04:54] <moyer> nope desktop, smff
[04:54] <ShackJack> moyer: Yeah you need at least a 9 series for decent 3d effects performance... though they run pretty goot...
[04:54] <Seoke> How can I login as root so I can change the permissions of a folder from root only being able to create and modify to everyone?
[04:55] <moyer> exactly
[04:55] <ssa> pricechild how much cost me?
[04:55] <jacob> how can i tell if alsa is selected?
[04:55] <JoaoJoao> hello
[04:55] <moyer> i cant run it over 1024x768
[04:55] <moyer> its slow and choppy as hell

[04:55] <jacob> how can i tell if ALSA is  selected
[04:56] <ssa> pricechild no intel celeron 2,4
[04:56] <ShackJack> jacob: Prefs -> Sound

[04:56] <PriceChild> jacob, that factoid explained how to check
[04:56] <LiberCogito> Does anyone know where opera puts deleted torrents on ubuntu?  They aren't in trash.
[04:56] <spiderfire> hello
[04:57] <Seoke> How do I login as root?
[04:57] <PriceChild> !sudo | Seoke
[04:57] <ubotu> Seoke: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[04:57] <spiderfire> can i bootfrom  a dchroot?
[04:57] <sp1nter> moyer: have you downloaded the drivers
[04:57] <jacob> PriceChild:i don't know if reading that site is worth reading, it was working before and i did nothing have it mute like that
[04:57] <mattwalston> Why are there so many how-to documents offering a fix for "slow to establish ssh connection" but a patch has not been offered?  Is this a feature that should be solved some other way?
[04:57] <moyer> is there any screen reso between 1024x768 - 1280x1024 ?
[04:58] <PriceChild> jacob, then figure out what you broke.
[04:58] <Lumiere> 1280x1024 is not a correct 4x3 resolution
[04:58] <Lumiere> 1280x960 is
[04:58] <Lumiere> and there's an 11xx by 8?? in there
[04:58] <moyer> well those are my options... can i use xandr to set the other
[04:58] <LiberCogito> Does anyone know where opera puts deleted torrents on ubuntu?  They aren't in trash.
[04:58] <spiderfire> can i install a 64bit system into a 32 bit system and boot from either?
[04:59] <_jonathan_>  LiberCogito: I think they're completely removed
[04:59] <Seoke> So whats would be the command line to make everything in /var/ able to be created and modified by every user?
[04:59] <Lumiere> spiderfire: you cannot install x86-64 onto something that is x86-32
[04:59] <ssa> pricechild why did you canceled me?
[04:59] <Lumiere> but you can install x86-32 to x86-64
[04:59] <PriceChild> ssa, cancelled you?
[05:00] <ShackJack> LiberCogito: prolly under your home folder in hidden .opera folder ?
[05:00] <ssa> pricechild i ask you how much cost me?
[05:00] <acke> ssa yea i would like to know much you cost too
[05:00] <PriceChild> ssa, I don't know. But I don't think its worth you buying a new graphics card just for this.
[05:01] <spiderfire> Lumiere: ok i understand
[05:01] <moyer> whats the command to change screen reso again.. "xandr"?
[05:01] <Seoke> So whats would be the command line to make everything in /var/ able to be created and modified by every user?
[05:01] <spiderfire> Lumiere: but can a 64bit tree reside within a 32 bit tree?
[05:01] <PriceChild> spiderfire, no
[05:01] <Cornell> Ok... feisty's installed... how do I get it to recognize/work with my Samsung widescreen and have higher than 800*600 resolution?
[05:01] <ShackJack> Seoke: Why would you want to do that?
[05:01] <progress0r> quick question: why is it that sometimes i remove an application and get a freaking huge list of core kde applications that need to be autoremoved? If i do this then my system will be hosed. I was removing mythtv.
[05:01] <ssa> pricechild thanks
[05:02] <JoaoJoao> I was trying to install 7.04 in a HP Pavillion notebook and X won't load. Based on what I've read, the original nvidia driver is incompatible with GeForce Go. Is that correct?
[05:02] <spiderfire> PriceChild: but what if you just booted from a 64bit kernel to use it?
[05:03] <PriceChild> spiderfire, 64bit kernels don't work on 32bit systems
[05:03] <macogw> whats the thing you put with "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to make it not ask extra questions?
[05:03] <spiderfire> PriceChild: right but the filesystems stay the same no?
[05:03] <PriceChild> macogw, -pcritical
[05:03] <roachmmflhyr_> can someone please help me with a database im trying to get working on a webserver
[05:03] <macogw> PriceChild: thank you
[05:03] <kteoh> spiderfire: the CPU must support 64-bit instructions for it to work

[05:07] <ShackJack> JoaoJoao: By Vesa, you mean VGA selected from boot startup , I assume ;)
[05:07] <dmglouis> has anyone had their right click menus disappear behind the application?
[05:07] <CotH> Hi.  Does anyone know a way to fix Wifi Radar if the edit, delete and disconnect buttons seem to be non-responsive?
[05:08] <dmglouis> well it still appears
[05:08] <JoaoJoao> the boot process works, but when it will try to get into X, it hangs
[05:08] <dmglouis> but behind it
[05:08] <thavorn> windows vista is so so slow
[05:08] <dmglouis> all the way on the desktop
[05:08] <JoaoJoao> ie Keyboard works, but I can't even press CTRL+ALT+F1 to get to a terminal

[05:09] <Seoke> I need to login as root and not sudo how do I do that?
[05:09] <macogw> Seoke: sudo su -
[05:09] <macogw> Seoke: to switch to root
[05:10] <macogw> Seoke: you cant login as root plain though. the root account is locked
[05:10] <sp1nter> macogw: su root
[05:10] <macogw> sp1nter: root acount is locked...remember?
[05:10] <Seoke> To change the permission on a folder its just sudo chmod 777 /var/ right?
[05:10] <kteoh> i know cp can use filename1 ... filenameN destination format, but does it also support {file1,file2,group1/{file3,file4}} as well? that's where the error is in the Makefile
[05:11] <macogw> Seoke: dont chmod /var
[05:11] <Seoke> I want to make that folder read and writable by everyone
[05:11] <sp1nter> macogw: sorry only half paying attention
[05:11] <mojiro> anyone got any modeline for 1920x1440 @ 72Hz? all web modeline creators i tried produce akward modelines non fixable with xvidtune?

I'm using Feisty
[05:11] <thavorn> what command to use if I wanna go to etc/network/interface
[05:11] <macogw> Seoke: that's a bad plan
[05:11] <Seoke> Well why don't I?
[05:11] <bulmer> kteoh: make sure the last option on that list is a directory
[05:11] <macogw> Seoke: security hazard
[05:12] <JoaoJoao> I got the alternate CD, so I can install everything  text-mode and then install the nvidia proprietary driver
[05:12] <macogw> Seoke: you dont need to do it all command line either
[05:12] <macogw> Seoke: right click on your menu
[05:12] <macogw> Seoke: and go to "edit menus"
[05:12] <ShackJack> JoaoJoao: Sonds like a plan ;)

[05:15] <linuxor> Hi, how to add a sound.ogg to a vedio.ogg ?? thx
[05:15] <JoaoJoao> How does this "driver update cd" work btw?
[05:15] <macogw> MARIUSmarius: looks good to me, but oh well.  ya want microsoft's fonts or red hat's free/libre "liberation fonts"?

[05:15] <Seoke> macogw: It says cannot open display
[05:15] <TrashLikeUs> hi
[05:16] <macogw> MARIUSmarius: red hat's are supposed to be a drop-in replacement, but i havent tried them yet.  to get microsoft's, install the msttcorefonts package from add/remove, or just get the "ubuntu restricted extras" from add/remove and youll have fonts and codecs and everything
[05:16] <TrashLikeUs> i got a problem with libGL.so, i ve installed the newer nvidia driver 9631, but it seems that it has broken the possiblity to use OpenGl
[05:17] <macogw> Seoke: where does it say that?
[05:17] <Adel> i installed compiz fusion how do i run it?
[05:17] <Seoke> Terminal
[05:17] <fatbrain> Hi, can I somehow get a on-screen keyboard? Like what you'd expect on a tablet-pc?
[05:17] <anandanbu> Does anyone know how to obtain the sudo permissions on right click of the mouse i had it before but now i am unable to find it
[05:17] <hinogi> need that for my tablet as well fatbrain hehe

[05:18] <pezcado> hi
[05:18] <TrashLikeUs> any idea someone?
[05:18] <JoaoJoao> couldn't I put the nvidia drivers in a "driver update cd" so I don't have to install Ubuntu text-mode?
[05:18] <Seoke> Nevermind got it to work
[05:19] <MARIUSmarius> 30 MB restricted :) it'll take a while for me :)
[05:19] <MARIUSmarius> but
[05:19] <pezcado> hey is there a way to display all the connected users of this channel?
[05:19] <pezcado> i'm using xchat
[05:19] <macogw> pezcado: click where it says the number of users, and they should be listed
[05:19] <MARIUSmarius> I'we installed counter strike with wine. I think, that fonts for game are taken from ~/.wine/driver_c/windows/fonts
[05:20] <macogw> MARIUSmarius: after you get the fonts, they should be in /usr/share/fonts/truetype/
[05:20] <macogw> MARIUSmarius: then just copy tahoma to the directory you name
[05:20] <MARIUSmarius> ok, i'll try :)
[05:20] <linuxor> Hi, how to add a sound.ogg to a vedio.ogg ?? PLEASE

[05:28] <etzerd> I'm having a problem with google earth
[05:29] <Jokk> sorry
[05:29] <Jokk> XLV, how to mount it
[05:29] <aoirthoir> casperzshado, fusion is beryl.
[05:29] <XLV> Jokk, its done automatically usually, look into /media folder
[05:29] <Jokk> hmm
[05:29] <Jokk> its not there
[05:30] <etzerd> everytime I load google earth the planet just flashing, it cannot stay still, it seems like it's missing something or whatever I don't know. Can somebody help me?
[05:30] <Jokk> XLV, generally its not a flash memory but mobile phone with flash card
[05:30] <aoirthoir> Jokk, ive had trouble with it recognizing my flash also...so I got a usb flash adapter..and that is recognized as a usb drive
[05:30] <casperzshado> whats the point of fusion then?
[05:30] <MARIUSmarius> well, it's new :)
[05:30] <dmglouis> i think beryl first started from fusion and then they remerged
[05:31] <MARIUSmarius> there's many people now working on it :)
[05:31] <Jokk> aoirthoir, the card is in the phone
[05:31] <dmglouis> no wait beryl started from compiz
[05:31] <MARIUSmarius> yes
[05:31] <XLV> Jokk, then there might be an option in cellphone to work as media storage device, or else you might need to take additional steps for the mem card in it to work as media storage device
[05:31] <MARIUSmarius> compiz was first
[05:31] <Corvus> join #ubuntu-fr
[05:31] <aoirthoir> dmglouis, yes
[05:31] <etzerd> everytime I load google earth the planet just flashing, it cannot stay still, it seems like it's missing something or whatever I don't know. Can somebody help me?
[05:31] <Jokk> XLV, in win it found it like a storage device
[05:32] <XLV> Jokk, google for ubuntu and your cellphone make and model
[05:32] <aoirthoir> Jokk, how is your cellphone connected?
[05:32] <aoirthoir> Jokk, via usb?

[05:32] <Adel> hey can anyone tell me how to remove compiz?
[05:32] <Jokk> aoirthoir, yes
[05:32] <Jokk> XLV, ill
[05:32] <Traveler2> .
[05:33] <insomninja> XLV, I think you misunderstood me, what I'm searching for is not the resolution parameters for X, but to set up the resolution, for the TTY terminals (ctrl+alt+F#), which afaik is done with a vga=### addition to the boot line in /bod/grub/menu.lst, only I can't find the correct three digit number...
[05:33] <linux__alien> i am new to Ubuntu just installed it Have been a Fedora User. i want to know how to upgrade the Ubuntu Kernel. I am using 7.04
[05:33] <etzerd> is anyone here ever use Google Earth?
[05:33] <etzerd> everytime I load google earth the planet just flashing, it cannot stay still, it seems like it's missing something or whatever I don't know. Can somebody help me?
[05:33] <woof65> here is hopefully a simple question. a program I am using has instructions for how to set up remote administration, and part of that is replacing "localhost" with the linux computer's name in a configuration file. where can I find the proper computer name?
[05:33] <PriceChild> linux__alien, why do you want to upgrade it?
[05:33] <aoirthoir> Jokk, are you able to connect other USB drives to your computer?
[05:33] <Jokk> yes
[05:33] <Jokk> my mouse is with usb too
[05:33] <Jokk> and the web camera
[05:33] <aoirthoir> Jokk, when you connected the phone in windows, did you have to install a special driver?
[05:33] <floriaki1> how can i make a second hard drive that is already in the computer a pure file storage drive (just like external hard drives)?
[05:34] <linux__alien> PriceChild, Its got 2.6.20 i believe so thought of upgrading it to 2.6.21 . Not for any particular reason
[05:34] <Jokk> aoirthoir, nope
[05:34] <PriceChild> !highno | linux__alien
[05:34] <ubotu> linux__alien: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos.
[05:34] <XLV> Jokk, remove it from usb port, reinsert it, then in a shell run dmesg, paste the results in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[05:34] <rabidweezle> how do you set what resolutions X can use?
[05:34] <linux__alien> PriceChild, I might do some Kernel programming and for this kernel i should get the kernel headers
[05:34] <linux__alien> is that available ?
[05:34] <floriaki1> how can i make a second hard drive that is already in the computer a pure file storage drive (just like external hard drives)?
[05:34] <macogw> hinogi: im asking on #debian.  it actually worked fine in feisty....well, except that it couldnt do 1024x768
[05:34] <linux__alien> or do you advice me to compile a new kernel ?
[05:35] <PriceChild> linux__alien, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic
[05:35] <PriceChild> linux__alien, I strongly advise you against upgrading the kernel
[05:35] <linux__alien> PriceChild, Oh Ok
[05:35] <PriceChild> linux__alien, you might also want the "build-essential" package
[05:35] <macogw> rabidweezle: by editing /etc/X11/xorg.conf  the easy way to do that is "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[05:35] <insomninja> rabidweezle: you can edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf (you need superuser permissions to save)
[05:35] <aoirthoir> linux__alien, you should wait until the auto upgrade is offerred
[05:35] <rabidweezle> thanks mac and insom
[05:35] <Jokk> XLV, oh
[05:35] <Jokk> it found it auto :)
[05:36] <Jokk> im seeing the files
[05:36] <Jokk> 10x
[05:36] <JoaoJoao> so, how does the driver update cd work?
[05:36] <aoirthoir> linux__alien, but be careful with that even, ubuntu isnt very good generally at upgrading the kernel even that way, and I have had sudden breakage of important things when thats occured
[05:36] <linux__alien> aoirthoir, Oh isnt an upgrade to the kernel not offered yet? Is it because Ubuntu is targeted towards desktops, the move is slow ? i am new to ubuntu . Just got converted from Fedora . So i am asking this so forgive me if the question is stupid
[05:36] <floriaki1> how can i make a second hard drive that is already in the computer a pure file storage drive (just like external hard drives)? the drive has still got windows xp installed on it, could someone please help me?
[05:36] <PriceChild> linux__alien, aoirthoir the kernel will not be updated to 23, unless you decide to upgrade to gutsy in october
[05:37] <PriceChild> linux__alien, the kernel you are using is perfectly fine and you don't need to worry about using a new kernel. You will only break things
[05:37] <aoirthoir> PriceChild, im not talking about that, im talking about whenever it specifically offers a kernel upgrade..i dont upgrade the kernel except then
[05:37] <linux__alien> PriceChild, So i ve a doubt here so once Ubuntu releases a version the kernel upgrades wont happen until Ubuntu releases the next version is it?
[05:37] <JoaoJoao> Or until a security flaw is found, I guess
[05:37] <PriceChild> linux__alien, yes. It keeps things stable.
[05:37] <floriaki1> can anybody help me with formatting a hard drive so it's a file storage drive??
[05:38] <aoirthoir> linux__alien, its not a stupid question at all...basically ubuntu is a new OS each version. even with the LTS versions for instance, you dont often get new versions of certain software, just security fixes
[05:38] <PriceChild> linux__alien, or as JoaoJoao says... on important security patches or critical bug fixes
[05:38] <pkundu> hi how to disable the message showed when someone quit or join or someones status changes in xchat
[05:38] <aoirthoir> linux__alien, if you are looking for something that upgrades more then redhat desktop coming out in september might be useful
[05:38] <linux__alien> How does new security bug fixes installed. Is it patched or a newer version of the kernel. How is it in Ubuntu?
[05:38] <drknick> Hello @ all
[05:39] <boris_> what is the path to file et-linux-2.60.x86.run on my desktop ?
[05:39] <floriaki1> how can i make a second hard drive that is already in the computer a pure file storage drive (just like external hard drives)? the drive has still got windows xp installed on it, could someone please help me?
[05:39] <PriceChild> linux__alien, it will notify you top right.. you click the bubble, put in your password, then agree to updates and press "go" kinda thing
[05:39] <PriceChild> linux__alien, stop worrying... and remember "if it ain't broke, don't fix it"
[05:39] <aoirthoir> linux__alien, you will get a notice that offers you to upgrade various software packages when the upgrades are available.
[05:39] <PriceChild> boris_, ~/Desktop/name_of_file
[05:40] <floriaki1> how can i make a second hard drive that is already in the computer a pure file storage drive (just like external hard drives)? the drive has still got windows xp installed on it, could someone please help me?
[05:40] <aoirthoir> linux__alien, while other distros allow convient upgrades to the kernel, I would be very careful with updating the kernel in ubuntu, as mentioned, using their update mechanism and only doing so when the kernel was offered, has broken my system 3 times.
[05:40] <linux__alien> PriceChild, I am not worrying just basically getting to know how ubuntu community and developers move ahead . As i told you ve been a fedora Core user since 1 but got kind of frustrated with Fedora and that trigerred me to change to Ubuntu. Infact have been a KDE User also . Now trying Gnome
[05:42] <matahari> hi
[05:42] <asleepguy> HOWDY!!!!
[05:42] <matahari> i get the following message: Warning: /bin/java does not exist
[05:42] <aoirthoir> linux__alien, I feel you. I really like a lot of things about ubuntu. But there are some things I need to do that it cant, so Im checking out other distros as well
[05:42] <matahari> sun-java6-jre is installed
[05:42] <matahari> but smartsvn won't run anymore
[05:42] <Lustblader> i'm having trouble getting into ubuntu
[05:42] <asleepguy> is your computer on?
[05:43] <Lustblader> it started after installing xp again.. seems the MBR got cleaned... How to repair my grub-loader???
[05:43] <PriceChild> !fixgrub | Lustblader
[05:43] <ubotu> Lustblader: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:43] <Lustblader> thx PriceChild
[05:44] <woof65> How can I find the network name of my computer in ubuntu?
[05:44] <asleepguy> unotu, Do you have responses on macros?
[05:44] <Jack_Sparrow> I need some help setting up sauerbraten if someone has done it before
[05:44] <JeevesMoss> can someone help me fixing a res issue on my laptop?  I installed ubuntu-desktop, and now all I get is lines down the lefthand side of the screen
[05:44] <asleepguy> ubotU*
[05:45] <thavorn> what is the meaning of master boot record?
[05:45] <linux__alien> Is Ubuntu used by the kernel developers or only by new users? Coz if its used by kernel developers, those guys try out new things by compiling the vanilla kernel. So will that break things ?
[05:45] <Ade3> hey guyz can someone help me? the window's titlebars disappeared:S
[05:45] <Lustblader> thavorn that's where all the boot info is stored
[05:45] <JeevesMoss> thavorn:  it's where the disk stores where the fimes are on your idsk
[05:45] <Jack_Sparrow> thavorn: the first track and sector with info on how to boot your system
[05:45] <JeevesMoss> Jack_Sparrow:  lol, look who it is
[05:46] <tunedout> hello
[05:46] <Jack_Sparrow> JeevesMoss: For a few while I wait for the wife.. yes
[05:46] <thavorn> with dual boot, the boot record is store in windows partition or linux partition
[05:46] <JeevesMoss> Jack_Sparrow:  lol, how's your weekend going?
[05:46] <drknick> neither, nor
[05:46] <chaKKo_1521> http://www.pennergame.de/ref.php?uid=1521
[05:46] <Jack_Sparrow> JeevesMoss: Great as always...  thanks...
[05:46] <drknick> @ thavorn
[05:47] <JeevesMoss> Jack_Sparrow:  do you know about how to fix the ubuntu-desktop video issue?
[05:47] <Jack_Sparrow> thavorn: It would be better to tell us what you are trying to do or what the problem is.
[05:47] <Jack_Sparrow> JeevesMoss: Which issue.. more than one atm
[05:47] <thavorn> oh no problem, just wanna trial and error different scenario.
[05:48] <Adel> hey jack can u help me with something plz?
[05:48] <JeevesMoss> Jack_Sparrow:  I installed ubuntu-desktop, and now insted of a screen, I get lines down the left hand side of the screen
[05:48] <Jack_Sparrow> thavorn: there are two main sections of the mbr.. the boot section and the pointers for up to 4 primary partitions
[05:49] <exyan> anyone got any suggjestions on fonts? they look so sharp and all
[05:49] <stuart-> do i use csh in ubuntu if i wanna play around with c++?
[05:49] <Jack_Sparrow> JeevesMoss: on boot how far does it get?
[05:49] <MannyZ> hello! is there any requirements for compiz-fusion?
[05:50] <JeevesMoss> Jack_Sparrow:  It gets through the boot process to where it would normally show the log in screen
[05:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Adel: I am looking at 2 different problems atm and one of my own...
[05:50] <thinlace> i am having a really wierd problem. i compiled a script language called Squirrel, I can see the application Sq in the bin directory, but when I run it from the command I get The program 'sq' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install ispell
[05:50] <Adel> jack_sparrow: Oh ok
[05:50] <MannyZ> hello! is there any requirements for compiz-fusion?
[05:50] <thavorn> I am refurbishing some old P4 computers for poor family, do not want that toy system, is ubuntu the most user friendly linux?
[05:50] <Adel> can anyone help me with something plz?
[05:50] <JeevesMoss> Jack_Sparrow:  basclly I just would like to know how to drop into shell before it hits the log in GUI so I can remove it.
[05:50] <Jack_Sparrow> JeevesMoss: So you dont get to the login screen..
[05:50] <MannyZ> Adel what?
[05:50] <exyan> how do I check what kernel am I running?
[05:51] <drknick> uname -a
[05:51] <drknick> @ exyan
[05:51] <Adel> Mannyz: well i downloaded compiz fusion and i dunno if it has to do with it but the titlebars disappeared
[05:51] <JeevesMoss> Jack_Sparrow:  yes, I get the log in screen, but it's the log in screen that's all messed up
[05:51] <MannyZ> hmm
[05:51] <MannyZ> i havent even downloaded compiz yet :D..
[05:51] <MannyZ> cant help...
[05:51] <MannyZ> is there any requirements for compiz-fusion?
[05:52] <aoirthoir> 3d
[05:52] <Jack_Sparrow> JeevesMoss: SInce it seems to be accessing the grub on your install I would try to rename it with live cd so it cant find it and it should get you to a shell.. sorry if that is a hack of an answer..
[05:52] <Adel> can anyone else help me with my problem?
[05:52] <PriceChild> Adel, ask in #ubuntu-effects please
[05:52] <Adel> ok thanks
[05:52] <aoirthoir> Adel, compiz fusion is experimental
[05:52] <fia> is there a ubuntu support channel in swedish?
[05:52] <JeevesMoss> Jack_Sparrow:  I can access GRUB when it boots, but what do I need to edit to be able to kick it into shell when it boots?
[05:53] <bonde> got error in python "mapping = array.array('b', mapping).tostring()" AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'array' ?
[05:53] <Jack_Sparrow> JeevesMoss: ok.. one sec...
[05:53] <JeevesMoss> Jack_Sparrow:  thanks.  I just don't feel like removing and installing the OS ang configuring the mess again
[05:53] <hsatera> anyone here uses bittornado?
[05:53] <XLV> JeevesMoss, if it boots but hangs when gdm loads, just press ctrl+alt+F1 to go into a terminal screen
[05:53] <hsatera> xD
[05:54] <JeevesMoss> XLV:  damn, your right, I forgot about that
[05:54] <Cornell> There's a command that I was given earlier, that reports the horiz and vert  for a device (nVideo driver, Samsung Syncmaster)... Can anyone remind me what it is?
[05:54] <Jack_Sparrow> XLV: thanks..
[05:54] <oliver_g> hi
[05:55] <oliver_g> any idea why I can't put music on my usb mp3 player in Rythmbox?
[05:55] <XLV> Cornell, from a shell, xvidtune -show
[05:55] <PriceChild> oliver_g, rhythmbox doesn't do that yet does it? Is it just a random mp3 player?
[05:56] <JeevesMoss> XLV:  that worked.  thanks
[05:56] <linux__alien> PriceChild, In the Updates available there are some updates regards to the kernel should i install it ? one is linux-generic, linux-headers-generic,linux-image-generic
[05:56] <JeevesMoss> Jack_Sparrow:  thanks again man
[05:56] <PriceChild> linux__alien, yes?
[05:56] <stuart-> what programs can i use to learn c++ in ubuntu?
[05:56] <oliver_g> PriceChild: yes it's a very cheap mp3 player, noname basically
[05:56] <XLV> Cornell, error. that reports current modeline
[05:56] <oliver_g> PriceChild: this is on Dapper - doesn't Rythmbox support writing to player there yet?
[05:56] <Cornell> Thanks XLV, but it was for the horiz sync and vert refresh, my apologies for being unclear.
[05:57] <Adel> PriceChild: no one is answering in #ubunto-effects
[05:57] <Jack_Sparrow> Cornell: Cant you find that in the hardware docs ...
[05:57] <PriceChild> Adel, then be patient
[05:57] <mortrak> hi, someone can help me to fix the refresh rate y use the correct values in the xorg.conf but when i use the intel driver my monitor goes out of range (sorry about my english)
[05:57] <PriceChild> oliver_g, I don't think so... Just copy your mp3s manually using nautilus
[05:58] <oliver_g> the player is recognized as portable_audio_player, and RB shows its songs, but I can't drag songs to it
[05:58] <Cornell> That would imply that I could find such docs
[05:58] <linux__alien> PriceChild, I am installing almost all the updates
[05:58] <thinlace> anyone know why i can't run a command when it clearly is right there in the directory?
[05:58] <oliver_g> PriceChild: ok thanks...
[05:58] <linux__alien> that shouldnt screw up anything right?
[05:58] <PriceChild> thinlace, use a ./ infront of the command
[05:58] <PriceChild> linux__alien, nope
[05:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Cornell: It dosent imply that you tried looking for them.
[05:58] <PriceChild> linux__alien, of course its always good practice to keep backups :)
[05:58] <rdking> can and how do you upgrade a complete ubuntu install from 5.04 to 6.10
[05:59] <pike2k> how do I get an installed app to autostart with Feisty Fawn ?
[05:59] <bobbob1016> rdking, you upgrade to 5.10, then 6.06, then 6.10
[05:59] <PriceChild> rdking, you are meant to go through breezy... which has reached end of life and doesn't have repositories up. I suggest backing up and reinstalling.
[05:59] <fia> help in swedish someone?
[05:59] <thinlace> PriceChild, WOW, why does that work? what is the meaning of that?
[05:59] <PriceChild> !se | fia
[05:59] <ubotu> fia: Svensk Ubuntu- och Kubuntusupport hittar du pa #ubuntu-se resp. #kubuntu-se
[05:59] <FireFox> hi
[05:59] <PriceChild> thinlace, Ok...
[05:59] <bobbob1016> rdking, or you can reinstall, it'd be a cleaner install
[05:59] <kazim59> !limewire
[05:59] <ubotu> limewire is a popular P2P client running on the Gnutella network. To get it running, install !java first, then download Limewire from http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and finally run runLime.sh. Consider !FrostWire as an alternative.
[05:59] <linux__alien> PriceChild,  backups :-o
[05:59] <FireFox> I am doing this  g++ main.cpp -lHelloWorld.so
[05:59] <linux__alien> i am remembered of Fedora ;-)
[05:59] <thinlace> pricechild, can you explain why that works?
[05:59] <PriceChild> thinlace, in a shell, you have something called a $PATH. type "echo $PATH" to see it.
[06:00] <kazim59> which is better Limewire or FrostWire?
[06:00] <bobbob1016> rdking, and backup your data
[06:00] <FireFox> I get this error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lHelloWorld.so
[06:00] <FireFox> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
[06:00] <PriceChild> thinlace, that is basically the list of places your shell looks when you run a command.
[06:00] <thinlace> ech $PATH
[06:00] <rdking> ok thanks...noticed no repos, but didn't want the hassle, thanks though
[06:00] <thinlace> ?
[06:00] <thinlace> i'll try it
[06:00] <kazim59> !java
[06:00] <ubotu> 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. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[06:00] <PriceChild> thinlace, in a terminal
[06:00] <PriceChild> thinlace, as you can see... that list doesn't include the current working directory ;)
[06:00] <FireFox> anyone?
[06:00] <StoneNewt> anyone else noticed that kde4base-data and kde4libs-data share a fair number of files?
[06:00] <bobbob1016> does anyone know a program that will autosplit DVD's for me?  I have 14 gig of data that I need on DVD's, is there a program that will auto-span them?
[06:00] <thinlace> yeah I know, i was just regurgitating what you said. i am half asleep
[06:00] <thinlace> sorry
[06:00] <kazim59> FireFox: what did you do?
[06:00] <FireFox> i made shared object
[06:01] <PriceChild> thinlace, so the ./ tells bash to run the file in the current directory instead of searching for an executable named the same in your PATH
[06:01] <Cornell> Good point Jack_Sparrow
[06:01] <FireFox> g++ -c HelloWorld.cpp
[06:01] <woof65> How can I find the network name of my computer in ubuntu?
[06:01] <FireFox> g++ -o HelloWorld.so -shared HelloWorld.o
[06:01] <kazim59> FireFox: try -lHelloWorld
[06:01] <kazim59> not .so
[06:01] <FireFox> then
[06:01] <FireFox> g++ main.cpp -lHelloWorld.so
[06:01] <FireFox> let me see
[06:01] <FireFox> same error
[06:02] <Jack_Sparrow> FireFox: sudo ?
[06:02] <Usrl> I set my computer up to show it's boot stuff, like all the different "USB device founds" and whatnot when it boots up. How do I change that back to the logo with the loading bar?
[06:02] <FireFox> yes
[06:02] <kazim59> FireFox: /join #c
[06:02] <redmonkey> uhoh! the fox is on fire!;)
[06:02] <rem> Hey, anyone knows what can be done when the panel in gnome is blocked at 182 pixels ? i tried with gconf-editor, but it says 24pix in there ... the panel is however big and showing 182 in properties ...?

[06:02] <MannyZ> hey! should i download the version 0.4 of compiz or the 0.5? the 0.4 is stable and o.5 is on developement
[06:03] <Traveler2> add "quiet splash" back to the end of the kernel parameters line in menu.lst
[06:03] <PriceChild> MannyZ, #ubuntu-effects plaese
[06:03] <Usrl> Traveler2: /etc/menu.lst?
[06:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Cornell: What make and model on the monitor and video card you are using
[06:03] <Traveler2> yep
[06:04] <Traveler2> look right at the bottom
[06:04] <Usrl> Traveler2: does not exist
[06:04] <MannyZ> well..
[06:04] <Traveler2> sorry
[06:04] <MannyZ> nobody is anwsering there
[06:04] <bulmer> Usrl: its in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:04] <PriceChild> MannyZ, then you are patient and wait.
[06:04] <Usrl> bulmer: thanks
[06:04] <MannyZ> ok..
[06:04] <pike2k> how do I get an installed app to autostart with Feisty Fawn (Desktop)?
[06:05] <Traveler2> as bulmer says
[06:05] <MannyZ> well i was jsut asking the opinion from #ubuntu guys..
[06:05] <Usrl> pike2k: system -> session manager
[06:05] <Traveler2> you'll need sudo to edit it
[06:05] <pike2k> thx Usrl I'll take a look
[06:05] <Usrl> pike2k: should be in there, should be fairly straightforward to add it to the list
[06:05] <Usrl> Traveler2: that's fine, I run as sudo all the time.
[06:05] <pike2k> didn't know where to start to look, was looking for startup / autostart hehe
[06:05] <Usrl> <*IS KIDDING*
[06:05] <Cornell> Samsung Syncmaster 205BW  nVideo GEForce 6150 LE, Jack_Sparrow
[06:06] <bonde> got error in python "mapping = array.array('b', mapping).tostring()" AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'array' ?
[06:06] <anandanbu> How do i install GTK+ in Ubuntu 7.04
[06:06] <hybirdbe> i'll ask my question later , i need to go eat
[06:08] <PriceChild> anandanbu, you want the libgtk libraries?
[06:08] <haijun> hola
[06:09] <anandanbu> PriceChild: can you help me with that
[06:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Cornell: http://shopper.cnet.com/lcd-monitors/samsung-syncmaster-205bw-black/4014-3174_9-32081064.html#p5   75  x 81 max rates on the monitor
[06:09] <PriceChild> anandanbu, is that what you want though?
[06:10] <anandanbu> PriceChild: I need to run my GTK programs
[06:10] <PriceChild> anandanbu, like what?
[06:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Cornell:   	 1680 x 1050 / 60 Hz      max res...   now need to see what your card can do
[06:11] <alyssum> how can launch a program in GNOME with a special environment variable? (i don't want to use terminal to load it up everytime!)
[06:11] <anandanbu> PriceChild: may i pm you
[06:11] <PriceChild> anandanbu, i'd rather it stayed in channel.
[06:12] <XLV> alyssum, system>preferencies>sessions
[06:12] <anandanbu> PriceChild: ok i tried to run the hello world program provided in the GTK tutorial and i get error of missing some dependenices
[06:13] <XLV> Jack_Sparrow, it can do that res.. most cards after 2002 or so got 400MHz ramdacs
[06:13] <PriceChild> anandanbu, what missind dependencies?
[06:13] <Cornell> Well... I've got 1680 x 1050 at 60 hz... I can't see the bottom of the screen, and the letters are illegible... my other choice (System/Preferences/Screen resolution) 1400x 1050, which is skewed, stretched and I also lose the bottom of the screen there.
[06:13] <Cornell> I'm trying to figure out how to get it to be one smaller than 1680, Jack_Sparrow
[06:13] <XLV> Cornell, use xvidtune to perfect the modeline
[06:14] <anandanbu> PriceChild: 'atk' says so
[06:14] <PriceChild> anandanbu, pastebin the error please
[06:14] <alyssum> XLV: to do startup on login?  but actually the problem is about setting an environment variable and having the application run with that variable (and only that one application)
[06:14] <Andrew67> can anyone tell me how to add myself to the lp group?
[06:15] <linux_> how i can check thet i have no any nvidia drivers ?
[06:15] <toed> my firefox window is all 'greyed out' as if it's crashed, but it's actually working fine
[06:15] <toed> is there a way to get rid of the greyness
[06:15] <Cornell> Cool XLV... just gotta work out how to work it...
[06:16] <XLV> alyssum, you could create a bash script on your home dir, with eg export VARIABLE=<whatever> ; /path_to_program/program , chmod +x that bash script, then in sessions instruct to load that script
[06:16] <Cornell> And just in time... gotta go... Thanks Jack_Sparrow  and xlv
[06:16] <XLV> Cornell, well, set it to auto, so all changes are visible
[06:16] <alyssum> linux_: if you want to use the restricted nvidia drivers, goto to system->restricted drivers manager and you can enable them
[06:17] <JoaoJoao> hello
[06:17] <JoaoJoao> Is the GeForce GO board incompatible with Ubuntu 7.04?
[06:17] <linux_> alyssum , dont use tehm any other that may be somewhere ? ( i want to reinstall all ) ?
[06:17] <XLV> Cornell, then play with up,down, left,right, shorter, wider etc, to get the modeline to show perfectly on your screen
[06:17] <Usrl> Ok, for clarity on the quiet boot thing, what do the different options do? "ro" "quiet" and "splash"?
[06:17] <Usrl> I'm assuming that quiet tells it to boot without showing the text, and splash tells it to use the usplash screen?
[06:17] <Jack_Sparrow> XLV: Wasnt sure about the integrated video on his box so wanted to make sure..
[06:18] <XLV> Cornell, then press show to see the new modeline, add it to monitor section in xorg.conf, then set it as active ( first ) in screen section
[06:18] <JoaoJoao> and how can I put the proprietary nvidia driver in a ubuntu driver update cd?
[06:18] <XLV> Cornell, remember to name it something like "1680x1050_mine" to deiffenciate it from standard 1680x1050
[06:18] <linux_> alyssum , dont use tehm any other that may be somewhere ? ( i want to reinstall all ) ?
[06:18] <alyssum> linux_: i don't really understand what you are saying.  you can see what drivers you have right now by running this command: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep Driver
[06:19] <PriceChild> JoaoJoao, yes. it is compatible, use the restricted driver manager to install the proprietory driver, from system > admin
[06:19] <alyssum> linux_: if you have an nvidia card you are likely using either 'nv' (free) or 'nvidia' (restricted)
[06:19] <alyssum> XLV: thanks, let me try that then...
[06:20] <Vinchenzo28> whats a good video capturing program (just to record the desktop)
[06:20] <linux_> alyssum i have the nv one, should i install also the nvidia (NVIDIA-Linux-x86-100.14.11-pkg1.run) ?
[06:20] <Usrl> Vinchenzo28: gtk-recordmydeskop ?
[06:20] <Usrl> Vinchenzo28: it's something like that
[06:20] <Vinchenzo28> i'll look it up
[06:21] <XLV> linux_, the nv one is the xorg/x11 community driver, nvidia is the binary nvidia driver
[06:21] <XLV> !nvidia | linux_
[06:21] <ubotu> linux_: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:22] <TimK65> OK, you guys. I've given up on getting either (don't ask) of my wireless cards to work "natively" in Feisty 64-bit; now I'm trying to use ndiswrapper. But ndiswrapper isn't installed and doesn't seem to be on the CD! What's the deal?
[06:22] <XLV> !ndiswrapper | TimK65
[06:22] <ubotu> TimK65: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:22] <hybirdbe> okey , i am back , i would like to know hot to install my nvidea grapich drivers
[06:22] <hybirdbe> oeps nevermind
[06:22] <TimK65> ubotu: I've read those docs several times. They do not address the question I'm asking now.
[06:23] <hybirdbe> okey i would like to know hot to install my nvidea grapich drivers
[06:23] <XLV> TimK65, open synaptic package manager and install it
[06:23] <hybirdbe> sryy for the spam
[06:23] <XLV> !nvidia ! hybirdbe
[06:23] <XLV> !nvidia | hybirdbe
[06:23] <ubotu> hybirdbe: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:23] <TimK65> XLV: Synaptic doesn't find it, not even if I insert my Feisty CD and start the package manager from there (a message comes up that says basically "you've inserted a CD/DVD with packages, do you want to run the package manager?").
[06:24] <hybirdbe> tnx
[06:24] <linux_> XLV , so waht is better nv or nvidia ?
[06:24] <TimK65> XLV: PS I have no network connectivity on the Ubuntu machine; that's the problem I'm trying to solve with ndiswrapper.
[06:24] <XLV> linux_, nvidia
[06:24] <XLV> TimK65, maybe you need additional repositories
[06:24] <XLV> !repositories | TimK65
[06:24] <ubotu> TimK65: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[06:25] <TimK65> XLV: Such as? Again, I have no network connectivity.
[06:25] <TimK65> XLV: I.e., the CD is all I have.
[06:25] <linux_> XLV , i need to uninstall nv before im installing nvidia ?
[06:26] <TimK65> ubotu: I'm smart enough to look at the CD and try to figure out where the packages are, but I didn't see ANY packages at all when I looked. Mysterious.
[06:26] <XLV> TimK65, http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/misc/ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 download it from the pc you got connectivity, install it with dpkg -i <package_name>
[06:27] <XLV> TimK65, http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/source/ndiswrapper
[06:27] <hybirdbe> xlv , thanks for the info
[06:27] <Adel> to change my nick should i sign out and sign in again?
[06:27] <TimK65> XLV: How am I supposed to get it from one PC to the other? (There's more to that question in a moment.) And pardon me, but why the hell isn't it on the CD? -- The "more to that question" is that I really don't want to install a distribution that isn't self-sufficient enough to let me do everything from one machine.
[06:27] <nuke13> Hello all, long time to see....
[06:28] <XLV> TimK65, cd has limited packages, get the dvd, get a switch/hub and connect the laptop to that with an eth cable, get the dvd ubuntu
[06:28] <nuke13> TimK65: does the other computer not have a network or internet connection?
[06:28] <jayantjayant> hi all
[06:28] <bullgard4>  exit
[06:29] <jayantjayant> i am a newbie to linux and absolutely new to ubuntu
[06:29] <TimK65> XLV: If there is a 64-bit DVD, I'm not aware of it. When I downloaded, the only 64-bit option I saw was the CD.
[06:29] <jayantjayant> got a ubuntu 4.1 version - 'warty warthog'
[06:29] <pussfeller> whts the program that controls the image that shows while your machine is booting, usplash?
[06:30] <linux_> i need to uninstall nv before im installing nvidia ?
[06:30] <TimK65> nuke13: Of course it does, but look: I've been running Linux for nine years, and having to "bootstrap" a Linux installation with another machine is an unacceptable step backward.
[06:30] <pussfeller> i installed kubuntu desktop and now my bootup splash thingee is kubuntu, not ubuntu!
[06:30] <JDLimbo> jayantjayant, why didn't you install the latest version
[06:30] <jayantjayant> i have an internet connection . problem is when i run sudo apt-get update . it says file not found
[06:30] <XLV> TimK65, plus if you dont want to install ubuntu, theres about a 1K other distribs to try http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/release/
[06:30] <nuke13> well what did you expect it to say?
[06:30] <pussfeller> i couldnt find an image in link in the usplash init.d thingee!
[06:31] <jayantjayant> hi JDLimbo , i happened to get the ubuntu CD only
[06:31] <XLV> TimK65, its not like anyone here is getting a salary from canonical
[06:31] <tehk> Anyone know if its possible to force an app to exit cleanly before shutdown?
[06:31] <TimK65> XLV: I like what I've seen of Ubuntu, but this isn't looking good. I have indeed looked for other distributions, but I haven't found anything yet that seems to be any better. Oh well. I think I'll move on. Thanks anyway. PS I never said anybody here was getting a salary from anywhere, as far as I can remember.
[06:32] <nuke13> bo hu
[06:32] <XLV> another one bites the dust

[06:34] <XLV> jayantjayant, , http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/feisty/release , if you can find someplace with abundant bandwidth
[06:35] <jayantjayant> but JDLimbo/XLV , the path in the /etc/apt/sources.list should be correct
[06:35] <blizzardx> E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?
[06:35] <jayantjayant> why does it say File not found
[06:35] <XLV> !repositories | jayantjayant
[06:35] <ubotu> jayantjayant: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource

[06:55] <stuart-> my pppoe connection starts automatically during boot, and it is connected, but i can't actually send/receive packets, i can't surf, i can't pidgin, etc. until i sudo poff and pon
[06:55] <stuart-> what gives? it would be inconvenient for other users on my pc as they won't have sudo access to poff/pon
[06:56] <fifth-element> j
[06:56] <niekko> Murlidhar: Have you checked http://sourceforge.net/projects/tsemgr/
[06:56] <ectospasm> stuart-:  perhaps put those commands in rd.local?
[06:56] <ectospasm> stuart-:  rc.local, scuse me
[06:57] <Murlidhar> niekko: thnks i will just check it
[06:57] <thursday11010> i'm having trouble connecting to my webserver...apache2 on xubuntu.  i can connect from the server itself, but not from other boxes on the LAN.  the softwall firewall on the server has the appropriate port open.  the apache configuration files are all unedited...any ideas?
[06:57] <thechris> (do not ! me)  I need to install ubuntu from a linux installation other then the liveCD.  any help?
[06:57] <ectospasm> stuart-:  /etc/init.d/rc.local
[06:57] <stuart-> ectospasm, what does that do? run the program during startup or enables users to run pon/poff?
[06:57] <ectospasm> stuart-:  runs them at boot
[06:58] <ectospasm> stuart-:  rc.local runs after all the other init scripts run
[06:58] <aldin> XLV, ok, thanks
[06:58] <stuart-> ectospasm, wow, looks like c++ or something. where do i make it run?
[06:58] <ectospasm> hrmm...
[06:59] <ectospasm> stuart-:  lemme look
[06:59] <stuart-> ectospasm, alright, cool. i'd like to insert poff -a first then pon dsl-provider
[06:59] <Usrl> So does anyone know how to enable my splash screen on boot/shutdown again? =/

[06:59] <logreeval> I am having problems with "wmvdmod.dll" for Mplayer, where do I put this file?
[07:00] <BleSS> does the repositories are different from ubuntu server that from ubuntu desktop?
[07:00] <PriceChild> BleSS, no
[07:00] <PriceChild> BleSS, just different starting packages in each.
[07:00] <ectospasm> stuart-:  actually, don't touch /etc/init.d/rc.local
[07:00] <PriceChild> BleSS, remember the server doesn't have a gui ;)
[07:00] <ectospasm> stuart-:  add your commands to /etc/rc.local
[07:00] <stuart-> ectospasm, alright
[07:00] <jinxed-> Is there a way to make a back up of my dvds onto a single sided dvd-r?
[07:00] <ectospasm> stuart-:  it's sorta commented
[07:01] <ectospasm> stuart-:  basically put everything before "exit 0"
[07:01] <stuart-> ectospasm, done. thanks. will try rebooting after i'm done downloading.
[07:01] <stuart-> man i need to get a router going so i dno't have to put up with this stuff
[07:02] <jetscreamer> jinxed-: apt-cache search dvdshrink
[07:02] <BleSS> I've a VPS and I think that is installed with ubuntu desktop instead of server
[07:02] <thechris> is the ubuntu install in initrd?
[07:02] <ectospasm> stuart-:  I make no guarantees of that working
[07:02] <jetscreamer> jinxed-: there are many many more ways
[07:02] <jinxed-> jetscreamer, do you prefer that over k9copy and kc3
[07:02] <jetscreamer> jinxed-: i prefer doing it myself manually.. i just know some names
[07:03] <stuart-> kays. before i reboot, anyone else know why i'm connected to the internet but can't access pages or ping or anything till i reconnect at boot?
[07:03] <jinxed-> jetscreamer, it's just I am trying to figure out how to get a program to compress it ennough to fit on a dvd
[07:03] <BleSS> is there any way of update but using ubuntu server?
[07:03] <KurtKraut> BleSS, what makes you belive it is a desktop instalation ?
[07:03] <Usrl> BleSS I believe so, google ".deb on CD" or something like that
[07:03] <adoul90> i downloaded kopete but it can only send webcam not voice
[07:03] <JDLimbo> I'm trying to remove the vista partition on a dual-boot, I have the ubuntu filesystem backed up in the tar.bz2 format. If I reformat and reinstall, then restore from that backup, will it set it up dual-booted with a blank partition where the vista partition used to be?
[07:03] <jetscreamer> jinxed-: try the ?dvdshrink stuff , all i know...
[07:03] <jetscreamer> or k9copy and there are others... many others
[07:04] <jetscreamer> some in sources some not
[07:04] <jetscreamer> try them all
[07:04] <BleSS> KurtKraut: because is installed packages as linux-sound-base
[07:04] <sexnow> I have enable "share folder" on system administrator on both pc using feisty fawn but still cannot connect to other pc
[07:04] <ectospasm> stuart-:  what does ifconfig show when you can't connect?
[07:04] <Flannel> JDLimbo: the filesystem is backed up relative to a folder (/ in this case) knowing nothing of individual partitions, so as long as you point it to your new partition, you'll be ok (well, for the extraction anyway)
[07:04] <jinxed-> hmm
[07:05] <stuart-> ectospasm, everything as usual. that's why i know i'm connected. i even have my usual IP, etc.
[07:05] <ectospasm> some people don't know how to stick around after asking a question
[07:05] <stuart-> it's just that, i can't.. 'connect' to websites
[07:05] <jinxed-> My computer recognizes blank cds no problem but it can't recogize blank dvds... anyone know what the problem is.... and yes it is a dvd burner
[07:05] <BleSS> because there are packages installed as linux-sound-base (used on desktop rather than server)
[07:05] <JDLimbo> Flannel, thankyou
[07:05] <KurtKraut> BleSS, 'uname -a' prompts what kernel version ?
[07:05] <ectospasm> stuart-:  can you resolve names?
[07:05] <stuart-> ectospasm, nope
[07:06] <ectospasm> stuart-:  are you going through a router or anything?
[07:06] <Usrl> Does anyone know how to configure Kubuntu to show the splash screen on boot/shutdown again? I turned it off, but I can't remember how.
[07:06] <fevel> Is there another way to access the trash insteas of an icon on the gnome panel??
[07:06] <ectospasm> stuart-:  or is the modem connected directly to your PC
[07:06] <stuart-> ectospasm, direct. with other less bundled distros i'd have to pon dsl-provider manually
[07:06] <ectospasm> fevel:  ~/.Trash
[07:07] <stuart-> and ubuntu seemed to do it automatically for a while, then one day it started and wouldn't stop
[07:07] <ectospasm> I dunno, sounds like a problem with the DSL setup
[07:07] <jetscreamer> jinxed-: sometimes, or used to be, a symlink was not created in /dev linking a dvd to the block device...  do written dvd's work? a blank cd/dvd won't show much... cat the block device
[07:08] <Usrl> Does anyone even know a good GUIDE for it? -.-
[07:08] <jinxed-> jetscreamer, yeah I just created and iso from a written dvd
[07:08] <BleSS> KurtKraut: <IP_ADDRESS>-xen
[07:08] <ectospasm> stuart-:  I've used several Linux-based firewall products, connecting through DSL, and I never had any problems with that aspect
[07:08] <jinxed-> but now when i put in my blank dvd nothing happens
[07:08] <jetscreamer> jinxed-: define 'nothing happens'  what do you expect to happen when you put in a blank
[07:08] <XLV> stuart-, you could try loading whatever kernel modules needed, in /etc/modules i guess its not loading modules when needed
[07:08] <BleSS> KurtKraut: cat /etc/issue -> Ubuntu 6.06 LTS \n \l
[07:08] <xxx_> how can i control the CPU speed fans in ubuntu?
[07:08] <finalbeta> How do I perform checkdisks manually?
[07:09] <ectospasm> finalbeta:  fsck
[07:09] <jetscreamer> fsck finalbeta .. on unmounted partitions
[07:09] <jinxed-> jetscreamer, I see that there is a disk on the desktop that is blank
[07:09] <stuart-> ectospasm, i mean it DSL works fine. it's just the bootup thing. i have to sudo reconnect every reboot and it's fien for me, but not the other computer illiterate people in my family
[07:09] <sdouble> Sometime in the night, my computer decided to stop receiving mouse clicks.  I then tried to restart X and it just sat there for awhile until I did a hard reset.  I'm looking at the /var/log/messages file and see a bunch of -- MARK -- during the computer's idle time last night and in the middle of them is "syslogd 1.4.1#20ubuntu4: restart."  Then MARKs again.  The next non-MARK log is the signal 15 of me trying to fix it.  Can anyone help
[07:09] <sdouble>  me out here?
[07:09] <ectospasm> stuart-:  my rc.local workaround may work for you then
[07:09] <jetscreamer> jinxed-: ok that's gnome... but does your burning app see it
[07:09] <jenos> hello
[07:10] <jinxed-> jetscreamer, no
[07:10] <jetscreamer> or kde whichever
[07:10] <jetscreamer> ah
[07:10] <jenos> i have a problem, who can help me
[07:10] <finalbeta> Thnx, should ubuntu do this after bad shut downs? It seems t do it at the worst possible times
[07:10] <KurtKraut> BleSS, unfortunately my own server is offline at the moment. But I wouldn't be so sure based in these kind of pacakges that this install is a desktop one.
[07:10] <stuart-> ectospasm, cool. will try it out now
[07:10] <jetscreamer> yes that is when it wants to finalbeta
[07:10] <thechris> sdouble: cat /dev/input/mice ;  (or whatever is listed in xorg.conf) move mouse, click.  should give output.  ctrl+c to quit
[07:10] <jetscreamer> one of the times
[07:10] <ectospasm> finalbeta:  I think fsck is set to check every 30 boots
[07:10] <jetscreamer> jinxed-: not sure.
[07:11] <jinxed-> hmm
[07:11] <jetscreamer> the days vary, but yeah around 30
[07:11] <shrek3> how to share file using samba? one windows, one ubuntu 7.04
[07:11] <bzaks> shrek3
[07:11] <thechris> sdouble: alternatively, you can reboot from the liveCD, which should still work if it worked in the past, and check the mouse.
[07:11] <BleSS> KurtKraut: ok, thanks
[07:11] <bzaks> shrek3: first off: terrible movie
[07:11] <jetscreamer> jinxed-: does cat /dev/dvd (or whatever the dvd is) return anything?
[07:11] <khyron320> hey im having allot of problems seeing gigabit speed with samba im seeing some errors mainly:  rx_no_buffer_count: 561
[07:11] <khyron320>      rx_missed_errors: 354
[07:11] <bzaks> shrek3: 2nd, go to ubuntuguide.org it's one of the things under samba
[07:12] <sdouble> mouse works great now.  It just randomly does that.  Like there's a glass pane over everything that just prevents clicks
[07:12] <jetscreamer> ctrl+c to halt it if it does jinxed-
[07:12] <XLV> shrek3, system/administration/shared folders, to enable samba in ubuntu
[07:12] <sdouble> it has done this many times
[07:12] <fyrestrtr> is there something equivalent to joost for linux?
[07:12] <kambei> What is the recommended method, or is there a guide, for installing from a USB flash drive?
[07:12] <Flannel> !install | kambei
[07:12] <ubotu> kambei: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[07:12] <shrek3> XLV: have done that, but where to find the share folders?
[07:12] <Flannel> kambei: there's a guide on the first link
[07:12] <kambei> Flannel: Thank you.
[07:12] <khyron320> i ran iperf and it was showing 717mb/sec ..

[07:13] <sdouble> thechris: my cat output is a bunch of crazy symbols everywhere.
[07:13] <shrek3> XLV; go to places , got it. thanks u
[07:13] <ectospasm> Abhilash:  sounds like /usr/bin/sudo is corrupt
[07:13] <Abhilash> what shall i do?
[07:13] <etzerd> hello all
[07:13] <Abhilash> ectospasm, what shall ido?
[07:13] <jinxed-> jetscreamer, nope it says there is no medium in there
[07:13] <thechris> sdouble: yes, that is the signals the mouse is sending to the computer.  if the mouse were not plugged in, or malfunctioning, it would show nothing
[07:13] <ectospasm> Abhilash:  I dunno, good question
[07:14] <ectospasm> Abhilash:  does it fail for every incantation of sudo
[07:14] <Abhilash> yes
[07:14] <etzerd> I just use the feature that call Desktop Multiplier it screw up my system completely. My graphic is all mess up.
[07:14] <etzerd> can anyone tell me how to remove that thing?
[07:14] <jetscreamer> jinxed-: i take it you tried >1 blank ... do written dvd's function as expected?
[07:15] <shrek3> can I change the host name?
[07:15] <Abhilash> ectospasm, any idea?
[07:15] <jetscreamer> sure
[07:15] <Abhilash> when i issue sudo command .. i am getting error -bash: /usr/bin/sudo: Input/output error
[07:15] <jetscreamer> /etc/hostname iirc
[07:15] <sdouble> thechris: everything is working fine right now.  I'm just a little annoyed about the problem I stated that randomly happens.  It's happened at least 20 times now
[07:15] <jenos> I CAN UPDATE MI REPOSITORIES FOR UBUNTU BREEZY 5.10
[07:15] <jinxed-> jetscreamer, yeah blank cds work for burning and written dvds/cds work and I tried more than one blank dvd
[07:15] <stuart-> it worked
[07:15] <jenos> PLEASE HELP ME
[07:15] <Abhilash> when i issue sudo command .. i am getting error -bash: /usr/bin/sudo: Input/output error
[07:15] <KurtKraut> jenos, please, turn of caps lock.
[07:15] <ectospasm> Abhilash:  perhaps boot into rescue mode and reinstall sudo that way
[07:15] <jetscreamer> sdouble: i think i've seen that before, no idea though
[07:15] <jenos> ok
[07:15] <stuart-> ectospasm, thanks.
[07:15] <KurtKraut> jenos, *off
[07:15] <linux__alien> i am getting this error configure: error: "libxf86vm headers not found"
[07:15] <linux__alien> when compiling ogre3d
[07:15] <ectospasm> stuart-:  did it work?
[07:15] <stuart-> ectospasm, like a charm
[07:16] <linux__alien> has anyone compiled ogre3d in ubuntu?
[07:16] <ectospasm> stuart-:  sweeet
[07:16] <etzerd> I just use the feature that call Desktop Multiplier it screw up my system completely. My graphic is all mess up.
[07:16] <thechris> sdouble: well, you can alway tail the last 500 messages or so from dmesg and /var/log/messages to see if anything comes up for that time span.  tail -n500 <file>
[07:16] <shrek3> host and hostname is it the same?
[07:16] <etzerd> can anyone tell me how to remove that thing?
[07:16] <stuart-> ectospasm, not happy that ubuntu's acting funny though. it screws up most of the time after i install xubuntu-desktop
[07:16] <thechris> sdouble: and dmesg | tail -n500
[07:16] <ectospasm> shrek3:  usually
[07:16] <jenos> someone knows a generator or repositories for ubuntu breezy 5.10
[07:16] <shrek3> how to edit? I go in etc/hostname, cannot edit
[07:17] <fyrestrtr> jenos: breezy is no longer supported.
[07:17] <ectospasm> stuart-:  yeah, I wouldn't trust anything but a fresh install of any of the three main systems (Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Xubuntu)
[07:17] <ectospasm> stuart-:  but that's just me
[07:18] <ectospasm> shrek3:  maybe sudo /etc/hostname?
[07:18] <thechris> shrek3: i would guess either some form of conf.d/hostname, or that you need to gksu gedit /etc/hostname
[07:18] <sdouble> thechris: I've said what's in my messges file  I have the MARK lines and then a single line that says "syslogd 1.4.1#20ubuntu4: restart." followed by more MARKS  This is the time it happened because I was using it before the MARKs and started using it again after them
[07:18] <sdouble> I'll post it on the paste
[07:18] <stuart-> ectospasm, not only that. you can't uninstall the other packages after you cross-installed other desktops
[07:18] <jenos> ouch
[07:18] <jenos> thanks
[07:19] <stuart-> ectospasm, pure xubuntu gave me problems with nvidia too, and yeah, the poff | pon error too. classic ubuntu's still the best, though i could use a faster WM
[07:19] <shrek3> can I change hostname by using gedit?
[07:19] <shrek3> sudo ...
[07:19] <jinxed-> My DVD burner a TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TS-L532A can see and play dvd/cds and burn cds fine but it doesnt not see any medium when i put in a blank dvd
[07:19] <jetscreamer> yes shrek3
[07:19] <shrek3> how?
[07:19] <Flannel> shrek3: gksu "gedit /path/to/file"
[07:19] <jetscreamer> /etc/hostname iirc, as i said, shrek3
[07:19] <thechris> shrek3: gksu gedit /etc/hostname
[07:19] <Flannel> !hostname | shrek3
[07:19] <ubotu> shrek3: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hostname  and /etc/hosts . WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. Alternatively, use the gui at system>administration>networking on the "General" tab
[07:19] <Flannel> shrek3: make sure you change both files, or you'll no longer be able to sudo
[07:20] <akos> how can I make windows computer names to resolve on linux?
[07:20] <Flannel> shrek3: Of course, you can also just go to administration > networking
[07:20] <XLV> akos, add them at /etc/hosts

[07:22] <caner> i alsways have problem with unraring. i am trying to extract a file from a multi part rar file. although the file is not password protected it sometimes asks for password and sometimes deletes the file it has extracted just after it is done extracting. is this a common problem?
[07:22] <Myelin> Hello, i am migrating to Ubuntu 7.04. Will 192 MB ram enough to get it installed? Thanks.
[07:22] <stuart-> caner, not for me
[07:22] <itguru> Myelin: Sure will be
[07:22] <Dimensional-Door> i need som help, i tried reinstalling bzip2 gzip and tar and i get this error, can anyone help????    http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32639/
[07:22] <sdouble> thechris: here is the /var/log/messages  along with some comments of mine  I was not at my comuter during the -- MARK -- and the line 19 entry  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/32638/
[07:22] <Flannel> Myelin: it will.  You'll probably want to use the alternate CD to install, it'll go faster.
[07:22] <stuart-> btw, are there any faster rar'ing programs out there? ubuntu's default is kinda slow
[07:22] <riotkittie> caner: i have never had that issue. what are you using to unrar?
[07:22] <caner> xrar
[07:23] <Myelin> itguru AND Flanne. Thanks.
[07:23] <XLV> akos, dont know then, maybe setting up samba or some windows pc as wins server?
[07:23] <caner> i found a similar problem on nternet. it was caused by mismatch of file name extensions. but this time i checked the file extensions.
[07:23] <desertc> stuart-: don't use rar - it is proprietary
[07:23] <akos> how can I set up samba?
[07:24] <akos> XLV, i have samba installed
[07:24] <TtyS2> samba works fine with resolving on a win nett
[07:24] <stuart-> desertc, i'd love another rar'er
[07:24] <akos> XLV, but i guess i need to do some configuring
[07:24] <stuart-> desertc, but i have no idea what, for ubuntu
[07:24] <riotkittie> caner:  ah. ive always used the command line tools
[07:24] <ubuntu_> hello
[07:24] <desertc> stuart-: bzip2 is good
[07:24] <ubuntu_> i am using ubuntu 6.10 distro boot from dvd
[07:24] <caner> stuart- is there any faster alternative for ubuntus default unrar prog
[07:24] <privacy> caner: i use UNRAR 3.70 beta 3 freeware on the command line and that workes fine
[07:24] <XLV> akos, edit /etc/samba/smb.conf
[07:25] <ubuntu_> how can install vlc software?
[07:25] <stuart-> btw, i've used k3b too and it seems as slow as ubuntu's default burner. is my pc crappy for ubuntu? xp's apps worked fine though :( and i don't wanna go back to xp
[07:25] <shrek3> if PC 1 is connected to PC 2 for some words document editing? how much ram shall I allocated to PC 2
[07:25] <stuart-> caner, desertc just recommended me bzip2, which i'm gonna try now
[07:25] <akos> XLV, yeah, i knew that... but what should I modify?
[07:25] <riotkittie> stuart-: what are your computers specs?
[07:25] <ubuntu_> i search from sypnatic vlc is not there
[07:25] <caner> stuart- ok lets give it a try
[07:25] <stuart-> riotkittie, p3 667, 768 ram. older, yeah, but it should hold out fine, considering what it did with xp
[07:26] <fyrestrtr> ubuntu_: enable the multiverse and universe repositories
[07:26] <XLV> akos, dont you think its better to read the thousands guides on the web?
[07:26] <akos> i am searching for them
[07:26] <thechris> sdouble: no idea what the issue is.  something is wrting a test output "MARK" to the file every 20 minutes.  syslog reset for some reason.  nothing indicates something going wrong with the mouse
[07:26] <marsjannno> Hi all I have a question. How can i change window decoration in Compiz Fusion?
[07:26] <stuart-> desertc, eh, i already have it. is it text based?
[07:26] <riotkittie> stuart-: wow, and youre seeing better performance under xp? thats crazy. i was using a p3 650/750mhz with 256mb laptop for about a year, and it absolutely flewwww under linux compared to xp
[07:26] <ectospasm> stuart-, caner:  remember that bzip2 only zips single files... you'll need tar to do multiple files
[07:27] <TtyS2> akos: have u installed the smbclient
[07:27] <Dimensional-Door> how do i install tar and gzip if i deleted them/???????
[07:27] <riotkittie> i just got a "new" p4 3ghz with a gig of ram. i feel silly using it for linux :P
[07:27] <akos> TtyS2, yeah
[07:27] <ectospasm> Dimensional-Door:  gimme a sec
[07:27] <Dimensional-Door> ectospasm ok
[07:27] <marsjannno> how to install window decorations in compiz fusion?
[07:27] <fyrestrtr> riotkittie: those are some strange sentiments.
[07:27] <caner> ectospasm which ui do you advice. (or are those uis program specific?)
[07:27] <fyrestrtr> marsjannno: see #ubuntu-effects
[07:28] <stuart-> ectospasm, i have tar, but how do i unrar .r00, .r01, .r02 files
[07:28] <Flannel> Dimensional-Door: Why did you delete them?
[07:28] <sdouble> thechris: hmmm.  It was in that time that this happened.  Makes it a little difficult to debug huh?  Thanks for the help, I'll just continue ripping the little bit of hair I have left from my head.  =]
[07:28] <riotkittie> Dimensional-Door: sudo aptitude install tar and sudo aptitude install gzip    ... in a term /
[07:28] <ectospasm> stuart-:  heh... use unrar
[07:28] <ectospasm> caner:  tar, gzip and bzip2 are command line programs
[07:28] <shrek3> if accessing another pc through samba for word editing, both pc must have open office or just 1 pc install with open office?
[07:29] <stuart-> ectospasm, i just type unrar series.r00 and it'll do the rest for me, right?
[07:29] <ectospasm> Dimensional-Door:  sudo apt-get install tar gzip
[07:29] <riotkittie> fyrestrtr: well, truth be told, it seems like overkill :P  but my linux machines have always been low end. like the aforementioned laptop, and a 366 k7 with 192mb ram and 7gb :\
[07:29] <fyrestrtr> shrek3: samba is for *file* sharing, not application sharing.
[07:29] <caner> ectospasm. what does xarchiver use to unrar files?
[07:29] <ectospasm> stuart-:  you'll have to read the manpage, I don't use unrar very often
[07:29] <Dimensional-Door> flannel becuase i was getting erroe, riotkittie and ectospasm, imgetting erros when trying to install
[07:29] <thechris> is there a location that shows the content of the livecd in a downloadable form without making me download the live cd?
[07:29] <riotkittie> and  i mean, they were fine for what i used them for :P
[07:29] <liberfiasco> ermm.. this si freenode? :D
[07:29] <liberfiasco> ok
[07:29] <ectospasm> Dimensional-Door:  why did you delete them?
[07:29] <Flannel> thechris: What do you mean in a downloadable form?
[07:30] <LeoUA> hi2all

[07:30] <bobovski> hi all, has anyone had success getting the logitech v220 wireless mouse working?
[07:30] <shrek3> fyrestrtr: I know, since samba is the emulator for windows, most people do that for simple MS word editing
[07:30] <eegore> What is the status on the next release
[07:30] <Dimensional-Door> riotkittie ok i sec
[07:30] <thechris> Flannel: i want just the kernel an initrd
[07:30] <fyrestrtr> shrek3: samba is not an emulator for Windows.
[07:30] <Flannel> thechris: http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.list  the .list files are all the contents of the CD, http://releases.ubuntu.com/7.04/ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.manifest the .manifest file is everything the live image has in it.
[07:30] <fyrestrtr> shrek3: the people who think that are mistaken.

[07:31] <soundray> !gutsy > eegore, please read the private message from ubotu
[07:31] <Flannel> thechris: you'd want to just download the package that has that.  through the repositories.  I imagine it's the linux-image-[version] -generic
[07:31] <riotkittie> since when is samba a windows emulator?
[07:31] <shrek3> fyrestrtr: is a whole suite of program for domain control?
[07:31] <riotkittie> samba is for networking.
[07:31] <stuart-> samba, de janiero
[07:31] <saigondragon> lol
[07:31] <shrek3> for sharing file in windows
[07:31] <riotkittie> if there's a windows emulator, its WINE... and Wine Is Not an Emulator ;P
[07:31] <fyrestrtr> shrek3: samba is a set of programs to allow networking between linux and Windows. It is not a Windows emulator or anything beyond that.
[07:31] <eegore> I thought samba was for the smb protocol
[07:32] <ectospasm> eegore:  and CIFS
[07:32] <riotkittie> eegore: 'tis
[07:32] <eegore> and cifs
[07:32] <wepeel> hi all. has anyone had any luck getting the logitech v220 wireless mouse to work in edgy?
[07:32] <adoul90> can anyone tell me how can i connect my tv using ubuntu?
[07:32] <shrek3> someone told me it can also do domain control?
[07:32] <stuart-> Windows Is Not worth Emulating
[07:32] <ectospasm> shrek3:  yes, it can
[07:32] <noelferreira> there's anything better than vmware?
[07:32] <fyrestrtr> shrek3: it can.
[07:32] <marsjannno> noone on #ubuntu-effects helps me. How to use emerald window decorations on compiz fusion?
[07:32] <shrek3> do I need to install extra thingy?
[07:32] <Flannel> marsjannno: have you tried #compiz-fusion?
[07:32] <soundray> !tvout > adoul90, please read the private message from ubotu
[07:32] <shrek3> for samba to act as a domain controler
[07:33] <saigondragon> i think they are two different things marsjanno
[07:33] <ectospasm> shrek3:  http://samba.org
[07:33] <thechris> Flannel: i'm in gentoo right now, and i'm not too familiar with dpkg
[07:33] <justinwray`away> marsjannno: After you have it installed use `emerald --replace&`
[07:33] <saigondragon> i have compiz fusion and it works just fine
[07:33] <c10ck> I am trying to resize my main partition using gnome partitioner, but am unable to unmount, due to other devices need to be unmounted manually. i have tried "umount -a" but says devices are all busy
[07:33] <adoul90> !tvout
[07:33] <ubotu> For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*)
[07:33] <caner> how can i fasten my usb port? it is really slow for file trasfers (i.e to a flash memory) compared to windows
[07:33] <soundray> c10ck: you can't resize from a running system. Boot a live CD and do it from there.
[07:34] <c10ck> oh ok
[07:34] <wepeel> oh geez, nevermind the battery wasn't in tight :(
[07:34] <c10ck> soundray, thank you
[07:34] <stuart-> caner, you have the weirdest problems. flash memory is tons faster for me than direct from camera/phone/etc.
[07:34] <Flannel> thechris: Well, you'd download the deb file, and then use dpkg to extract it, and then you can get at the goodies.  Or even just unpack it, since you don't need to do any reconfiguring
[07:34] <noelferreira> there's anything better than vmware?
[07:34] <eegore> well, is it safe to update my 32 bit dapper boot to feisty then?
[07:34] <fyrestrtr> noelferreira: a separate computer.
