[12:01] <butcherbird> Knelix: sorry someone in the office is saying that monitor is making a screeching noise and changing colors...I might be gone a while
[12:01] <Knelix> butcherbird: Sounds bad. It's okay. Thanks for your help, anyway. :-)
[12:04] <nx10> hi, just installed ubuntu, but xorg didn't setup correct resolutions, any advice?
[12:04] <Stork> hi, my XMMS doesn't want to work
[12:05] <Stork> practically no commands work for me
[12:05] <einPaule> how can I tell my own serverhostname ?
[12:05] <funkyHat> nx10, log in to a tty (press ctrl+alt+F1, then log in)
[12:05] <Stork> on the command line i can't run dpkg-reconfigure, xmms
[12:05] <funkyHat> nx10, then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[12:05] <mcdenyer> hey to make a boot disc i just copy the .iso to a blank cd righjt?
[12:06] <nx10> ok, thnx funkyhat
[12:06] <funkyHat> mcdenyer, yep, but not as a file on the data disc, you need to burn the ISO to disc as a disc image
[12:07] <mcdenyer> funkyhat ok how do i do that?
[12:08] <ufk> hiya
[12:08] <AlbertEin_ZaYa> hi!, is it possible to boot ubuntu install from a usb pen drive?
[12:09] <pinpoint> how does one make and make install in ubuntu?
[12:09] <seele96> hi guys, I notice in System monitor that I'm constantly recieving about 5kb in traffic, the traffic is there since i log in, yet netstat does not show any active connections to anywhere, am i safe to assume thats traffic from my neighboors since its a cable modem connection im in?
[12:09] <pinpoint> im getting command not found
[12:09] <mwe> pinpoint: install build-essential
[12:09] <topyli> mcdenyer: are you on windows? what software are you using to burn the install disk?
[12:09] <funkyHat> pinpoint, before trying to compile anything, do sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:10] <nalioth> pinpoint: install "build-essential"
[12:10] <mcdenyer> topyli, im on ubuntu breezy right nowe
[12:11] <mcdenyer> topyli, i have a hoary boot disc but i want ot make one fore breezy so i donty have to update when i install
[12:11] <topyli> mcdenyer: in gnome, you can just right click on the iso file and choose "burn" or something
[12:11] <ufk> i installed ubuntu, and i have a geforce onboard gfx card that i don't use, and a pci s3virge card installed that i do use. when i start ubuntu, x detects the nvidia card and yells that it doesn't find the driver. how can i set so it will ignore that card? i don't see any disable option in the bios
[12:11] <nalioth> mcdenyer: you'll still have to update
[12:12] <mcdenyer> nalioth, yeah i know i just dont want to have to upgrade from hoary
[12:12] <tafsen> If gxine won't play a *.avi file, how do I find out whats missing?
[12:12] <tafsen> If gxine won't play a *.avi file, how do I find out whats missing?
[12:12] <nalioth> mcdenyer: ah, yes. i understand
[12:12] <mwe> ufk: you probably need to read !nvidia
[12:13] <Amon_Re> *blinks*
[12:13] <pinpoint> mwe funkyHat nalioth thanks
[12:13] <funkyHat> np pinpoint
[12:13] <mwe> ufk: no you want to disable the onboard. then don't do that ...
[12:14] <mcdenyer> nalioth, and ubuntu wont let me make a disc image for some reson
[12:15] <einPaule> Does it have negative implications if i change the etc/hosts from "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost.localdomain localhost" to "<IP_ADDRESS> localhost localhost"
[12:15] <funkyHat> mcdenyer, what program in ubuntu are you using to make the image?
[12:15] <einPaule> ?
[12:15] <nalioth> mcdenyer: use k3b
[12:15] <mcdenyer> nalioth do i already have that?
[12:15] <Amon_Re> this is probably a silly question, but, what happens if i boot with a dapper flight cd & decide to install it on a system with breezy?
[12:15] <nalioth> mcdenyer: idk. use apt-get and find out
[12:15] <topyli> mcdenyer: are you in gnome?
[12:16] <mwe> ufk: I had a board with an unboard sound chip. to disable it I had to move a jumper on the board
[12:16] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Amon_Re: It would overwrite the Breezy isntall.
[12:16] <mcdenyer> topyli i think so lol
[12:16] <Amon_Re> mwe, most recent machines should have the ability to disable the onboard sound chip from the BIOS
[12:17] <mwe> Amon_Re: maybe so
[12:17] <lsuactiafner> how would i go about installing ubuntu 386 into a /32bit chroot from a running ubuntu install?
[12:17] <Amon_Re> modern == less then 4 years old
[12:17] <lsuactiafner> or do i need to reboo the machine and change /target ?
[12:17] <topyli> mcdenyer: so why not just burn the damn disc with the file manager. right-click, choose "make a goddamn disc"
[12:17] <mcdenyer> nalioth i installed k3b then install k3blibs then k3blibid lol
[12:18] <mcdenyer> topyli i did
[12:18] <mwe> Amon_Re: this was probably like 5 years ago
[12:18] <nalioth> mcdenyer: ok cool, k3b is the best
[12:18] <mcdenyer> topyli and i get a damn error
[12:18] <topyli> oh damn :)
[12:18] <Amon_Re> PuMpErNiCkLe, without formatting the thing? would doing it through apt-get make any difference?
[12:19] <Amon_Re> (seems i can't use /msg witout registering)
[12:19] <funkyHat> Amon_Re, correct
[12:19] <mcdenyer> nalioth how do i run k3b?
[12:19] <wfx> i must say nautilus is all what i need wen i burn a cd/dvd becouse it does for what it is desined -> write/copy files :-)
[12:19] <nalioth> mcdenyer: alt-f2 > k3b
[12:19] <codept> Hello..
[12:20] <chicken-man> Hi, what do I need to get "startx" ?
[12:20] <anavim> what's the best place to get ubuntu news - is this site any good?  -> http://www.subuntu.com
[12:20] <Seveas> chicken-man, X
[12:20] <wfx> :-)
[12:20] <Amon_Re> chicken-man, well, xorg would be a start ;)
[12:20] <Seveas> chicken-man, x-windows-system-core + some sort of desktop
[12:20] <codept> i got problem can anyone help me please. After instaling ubuntu, after it finished, i can't boot into my hard disk. why?
[12:21] <Amon_Re> codept, what's the error?
[12:21] <chicken-man> Seveas: ahhh
[12:21] <mcdenyer> !multimedia
[12:21] <ubotu> multimedia is, like, totally, for codecs, http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch03.html#sect-music-and-movies ; and for applications, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultimediaApplications
[12:21] <dp__> hi all, are there any channels for disucssing dapper development release?
[12:21] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Amon_Re: Yeah you can upgrade to Dapper using apt-get dist-upgrade
[12:21] <codept> Amon_Re: Just disk boot failure
[12:21] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Amon_Re: I don't recommend you use Dapper until April, though - it's still in alpha testing.
[12:21] <wfx> #touch startx  hi hi  im sorry ;-)
[12:22] <Seveas> wfx, bwaha :)
[12:22] <Amon_Re> codept, there's no floppy in the machine? Disk boot failure is a BIOS error, there are multiple causes for it
[12:22] <mcdenyer> what should i use to play media off the net like movies from ebaums?
[12:22] <chicken-man> Seveas: well I got Fluxbox, but I don't have startX, Xorg is installed
[12:22] <anavim> mcdenyer: xine is my favorite
[12:23] <Seveas> !find startx
[12:23] <mcdenyer> anavim can u help me install it?
[12:23] <Amon_Re> PuMpErNiCkLe, well, 2.6.12 series kernels are incompatible with my mobo (AGPGART issue's)
[12:23] <mcdenyer> anavim i just want to play media off the net and i have gstreamer codecs
[12:23] <Amon_Re> ebaums... *shudders*
[12:23] <Seveas> chicken-man, you need xinit
[12:23] <codept> Amon_Re: I've tested the hard disk on numerous CPU. all give Disk boot Failure
[12:23] <chicken-man> Seveas: ahhhh, good I'll go get it
[12:24] <anavim> !codecs
[12:24] <ubotu> Binary only codecs (such as w32codecs) can be downloaded from plf or cipherfunk, see !easysource for details on these repositories
[12:24] <Amon_Re> codept, if the disk fails on multiple disks i'd assume it's pretty safe to assume the disk itself is foo
[12:24] <anavim> hmmm. that was the wrong one
[12:24] <Amon_Re> codept, download diagnostics software from the manufacturer & test the drive
[12:24] <anavim> mcdenyer: I don't remember what I did, it was trial and error until I got as many different codecs as I could find installed
[12:25] <wfx> chicken-man: maybe you get all with apt-get install gdm
[12:25] <chicken-man> Seveas: "cannot stat /etc/X11/X (file not found)" hmmm ?
[12:25] <kriz> Hi guys
[12:25] <anavim> mcdenyer: basically apt-cache search for the names of the codecs and install them...
[12:25] <Amon_Re> chicken-man, you didn't install an X server
[12:25] <mcdenyer> anavim ok
[12:25] <Seveas> chicken-man, did you install x-window-system-core?
[12:25] <chicken-man> Seveas: I'm sure I did *checks*
[12:25] <kriz> I need someone helps regarding Kernel
[12:25] <codept> Amon_Re: ok
[12:26] <mwe> !helpme
[12:26] <ubotu> If you don't actually ask a question, we can not actually help you.
[12:26] <chicken-man> Seveas: Nope I did not install it :-P
[12:26] <Amon_Re> PuMpErNiCkLe, you don't happen to know the dapper repositories do ya? ;)
[12:27] <mcdenyer> how do i run xorg?
[12:27] <Amon_Re> mwe, help you with...?
[12:27] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Amon_Re: s/Breezy/Dapper
[12:27] <Amon_Re> PuMpErNiCkLe, .... That simple eh? :P
[12:27] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Amon_Re: yup :)
[12:27] <mwe> Amon_Re: did you see what ubotu said right after that? !helpme triggers that. it was a hint to kriz
[12:27] <kriz> There was an Kernel update today
[12:27] <trojaavr> d1 is the only disk i need, correct?
[12:28] <kriz> and after installing or upgrading to the new kernel
[12:28] <chicken-man> mcdenyer: startx <program location> should work
[12:28] <kriz> I cannot boot to Ubuntu anymore
[12:28] <trojaavr> sorry, wrong channel
[12:28] <CanadianSnow> how do i get a script?
[12:28] <Amon_Re> kriz, errors?
[12:28] <kriz> yes, Amon. I get this:
[12:28] <kriz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7430
[12:28] <Seveas> CanadianSnow, script for what...?
[12:28] <CanadianSnow> kriz did you use a live CD or did you actually do a full install?
[12:28] <Amon_Re> CanadianSnow, you write one? or define what yuo need?
[12:29] <CanadianSnow> ok... then how do i write one? :s
[12:29] <Seveas> CanadianSnow, with an editor...
[12:29] <CanadianSnow> like, for when someone sais something, it automatically respons??
[12:29] <Amon_Re> CanadianSnow, what language?
[12:29] <CanadianSnow> english? :p
[12:29] <Amon_Re> kriz, you don't happen to use SATA disks do you?
[12:29] <tech9iner> k mates.. riddle me this.. just ran 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop' and then rebooted.. full reboot dropped me to konsole prompt at tty1 vs login screen?.. have i fudged sompn again mates?
[12:29] <Seveas> CanadianSnow, that's completely off topic in here, go to the channel of your irc client and ask there
[12:29] <kriz> I use ... I forgot. haha.
[12:29] <mcdenyer> !w32codecs
[12:29] <Amon_Re> CanadianSnow, ask your english teacher then ;)
[12:29] <ubotu> w32codecs is probably a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install
[12:30] <kriz> let me see..
[12:30] <Seveas> tech9iner, any clues from /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[12:30] <CanadianSnow> but, i dont know how?
[12:30] <CanadianSnow> to get there i mean
[12:30] <wfx> why not apt-get install gdm?
[12:30] <tech9iner> o course i called up gui login by going to alt-leftArrow till i hit it?
[12:30] <Seveas> CanadianSnow, /join #xchat
[12:30] <mcdenyer> once i have xine installed how do i get firefox tro use it?
[12:30] <tech9iner> Seveas: ty guv.. lemme check..
[12:30] <kriz> well, I don't know if ti is sata
[12:31] <kriz> But my HD is
[12:31] <chicken-man> kriz: read the manual
[12:31] <CanadianSnow> ty seveas
[12:31] <Amon_Re> kriz, i had the same problem, for some odd reason grub thinks my sata disk (boot disk) is hd2 instead of hd0, when you get the bootmenu, select "edit" to see the line's parameters, change (hdx,0) to the proper drive/partition & let it boot, if it works, edit (as root) /boot/grub/menu.lst & execute grub-install
[12:31] <kriz> Samsung SV1203N
[12:31] <CanadianSnow> on this server tho? seveas?
[12:31] <mcdenyer> anavim did u use totem-xine or xine?
[12:31] <CanadianSnow> nm, ty
[12:31] <Seveas> CanadianSnow, yes
[12:31] <truz24> How do you change from GDM to KDM?
[12:31] <mcdenyer> anavim cause i dont see just xine in synaptic
[12:31] <anavim> mcdenyer: let me check
[12:31] <Amon_Re> kriz, if your hd cable is a wide cable, about 5 cm's wide, then it's IDE, if it's a little cable (about 1cm) then it's SATA
[12:31] <Seveas> truz24, apt-get install kdm
[12:32] <cobelloy> hello there all
[12:32] <kriz> Amon, I'll be back
[12:32] <Seveas> truz24, or afterwards: sudo dpkg-reconfigure kdm
[12:32] <nx10> 640x480 res is only showing up, i already reconfiged xserver, any advice?
[12:32] <kriz> I have to eat lunch.
[12:32] <Amon_Re> kriz, famous last words? :P
[12:32] <Solar698> hello
[12:32] <kriz> ha ha ha!
[12:32] <chicken-man> Woohoo Fluxbox starts :-P
[12:32] <cobelloy> hello
[12:32] <Amon_Re> nx10, what hardware?
[12:32] <kriz> No, when I promise somthing, and always keep it
[12:32] <kriz> ;)
[12:32] <kriz> you'll see
[12:32] <nx10> i810 xorg.conf looks fine also
[12:32] <masfworld> hello
[12:33] <cobelloy> hello again
[12:33] <Amon_Re> i might be gone tho, it's past midnight here in Belgium
[12:33] <anavim> mcdenyer: I don't see totem in my recorded install list, just xine-ui and kaffeine-xine
[12:33] <kriz> uff!
[12:33] <PuMpErNiCkLe> nx10: You'll probably have to change the "HorizSync" and "VertRefresh" variable in xorg.conf
[12:33] <kriz> Here it is 3 PM
[12:33] <Amon_Re> nx10, checked your X logfile?
[12:33] <truz24> Seveas, thanks, i had already installed kdm, was looking for the reconfigure command :-)
[12:33] <kriz> BRB
[12:33] <CanadianSnow> i have no sound :(
[12:33] <mwe> !sound
[12:33] <ubotu> hmm... sound is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
[12:33] <masfworld> i have a problem with ubuntu 6.04. At the begin of the installation, ubuntu installer say me alert! /dev/ram do not exist. Somebody can help me??????
[12:33] <Amon_Re> CanadianSnow, put on a CD
[12:34] <PuMpErNiCkLe> nx10: That's usually the problem when resolutions aren't available - it only lists ones that work according to those variables.
[12:34] <nx10> amon_re: where's that log??
[12:34] <anavim> mcdenyer: I also see gstreamer-0.8- <faad,faac,plugins,xvid>, etc
[12:34] <Amon_Re> nx10, iirc /var/log/Xorg.0
[12:34] <Dreamglider> how do i mount the floppy drive
[12:34] <CanadianSnow> mwe that stupid bot is useless 2 me
[12:34] <mwe> CanadianSnow: so I take it you read the wiki?
[12:34] <CanadianSnow> the stuff it gives is crappy and either isn't there or doesn't work or i dont understand it
[12:34] <cobelloy> should just double click the floppy icon dreamglider
[12:34] <masfworld> ?
[12:34] <nx10> i have Xorg.O.log might be it
[12:35] <wfx> a bot :) so the idea is back (anyone can remember on marvin).
[12:35] <Seveas> nx10, /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[12:35] <Seveas> it's a 0
[12:35] <mcdenyer> anavim yes i have installed all the gstreamer stuff already
[12:35] <Amon_Re> nx10, yea, the .log is usually a good sign that it's a logfile ;)
[12:35] <Dreamglider> cobelloy, that wont mount it not on my stationary nor my laptop
[12:35] <masfworld> i have a problem with ubuntu 6.04. At the begin of the installation, ubuntu installer say me alert! /dev/ram do not exist. Somebody can help me??????
[12:35] <Amon_Re> masfworld, don't repeat yourself within the minute
[12:36] <masfworld> sorry
[12:36] <nx10> ok, tons of text there
[12:36] <m0wax> What is the equivalent for /etc/rc.local in ubuntu?
[12:36] <Amon_Re> masfworld, how much ram do you have?
[12:36] <Seveas> masfworld, if you don't know how to debug this - dapper is not suitable for you
[12:36] <crimsun> CanadianSnow: which sound card?
[12:36] <m0wax> I need to run a script automatically at start
[12:36] <Seveas> nx10, search for (EE)
[12:36] <Amon_Re> Seveas, good point
[12:36] <masfworld> 758mb RAM
[12:36] <mcdenyer> anavim, i just dontk now how to get firefox to use the media
[12:36] <crimsun> m0wax: man update-rc.d
[12:36] <CanadianSnow> crimsum i dont know
[12:36] <m0wax> crimsun: thanks

[12:37] <CanadianSnow> sure jengoo
[12:37] <Amon_Re> jengoo, godo for them
[12:37] <Amon_Re> good even
[12:37] <Milk> is there a safe way to transfer your OS drive (/root and all the rest) to a new drive without reinstall?
[12:37] <masfworld> Seveas why ubuntu isn't to me?
[12:37] <mwe> masfworld: 6.04 is an alfa release.
[12:37] <tech9iner> so Seveas.. wtf am i looking for in var/log/Xorg... please?.. ;] ] .. recall lappys booting to tty1 prompt vs gui login ?
[12:37] <mwe> masfworld: use 5.10 instead
[12:38] <mwe> masfworld: it's stable
[12:38] <johnes123> what is the command to check your ip address from the terminal?
[12:38] <Seveas> masfworld, dapper is the unstable development branch. It's not yet ready for general public
[12:38] <Milk> johnes123, ifconfig
[12:38] <bjv> anyone using a USB wireless adapter?
[12:38] <tech9iner> ifconfig johnes123
[12:38] <Seveas> bjv, usb wireless is a pain
[12:38] <tech9iner> ahem.. eh.. echo echo lol
[12:38] <crimsun> CanadianSnow: how new is the computer?
[12:38] <masfworld> ok
[12:39] <bjv> Seveas: well, pci doesnt sound like much fun to me
[12:39] <bjv> Seveas: do you recommend it?
[12:39] <mcdenyer> anavim ok i installed k3b
[12:39] <mcdenyer> anavim now how do i make the image thing
[12:39] <anavim> mcdenyer: I haven't had too much luck with the browser plugins - I just download the videos and watch them from xine
[12:39] <yaaar> word
[12:40] <yaaar> anybody round here got the sims to work in wine?
[12:40] <Seveas> bjv, yes
[12:40] <mwe> mcdenyer: tools->burn cd image
[12:40] <anavim> mcdenyer: not too familiar with k3b myself
[12:40] <nalioth> mcdenyer: k3b > tools > burn cd image
[12:40] <anavim> anyone have a favorite ubuntu news site?
[12:41] <anavim> I need a news fix
[12:41] <mcdenyer> ok ty got it
[12:41] <Seveas> anavim, fridge.ubuntu.com
[12:41] <bjv> Seveas: ok, im looking at the wired cards listed on the hardware wiki page
[12:42] <malv> fridays are nice
[12:42] <bjv> any particular ones? i use no wireless currently
[12:42] <bjv> wpa is probably something i want
[12:42] <malv> so who here has received corrupted cds in the mail?
[12:42] <malv> I seem to constantly get them, which is very odd
[12:43] <Seveas> malv, none of the 1400 I got are corrupted
[12:43] <Pupeno> Why does emacs-snapshot-common wants to remove openoofice2 ?
[12:43] <malv> 3 shipments spaced over 9 months have all resulted in corrupted disks
[12:43] <Amon_Re> well, here goes nothing... (dist-upgrade)
[12:43] <malv> Seveas: I must have bad luck
[12:44] <kriz> I'm back !
[12:44] <Amon_Re> wb kriz
[12:44] <kriz> ;)
[12:44] <tech9iner> after rebooting if i press 'alt - left/right arrow' i find the gui login awaiting input?..
[12:44] <kriz> See? I told you I will be back :D
[12:44] <nx10> only have 3 EE in Xlog but that's for synaptics touchpad which works fine though
[12:44] <johnes123> is there a list of terminal commands posted somewhere?
[12:44] <tech9iner> but wtf keeps bootup from showing it first please?
[12:44] <Amon_Re> johnes123, not that i know off
[12:45] <kriz> Anyway, I am currentl running WIndows since I cannot boot my precious Ubuntu
[12:45] <anavim> Seveas, awesome, thx
[12:45] <joaquim> hello, first time in ubuntol and in this irc.
[12:45] <Amon_Re> kriz, identified your HD yet? ;)
[12:45] <johnes123> is there another command similar to ifconfig but provides exactly your ipaddress?

[12:46] <Amon_Re> johnes123, couldn't you use host for that?
[12:46] <tech9iner> hey.. could my bootup to login screen prob be related to my playing round in session mngr maybe?
[12:46] <blacks> ifconfig | grep "inet addr" | sed something
[12:46] <fatejudger> I just swapped my hard drive out of my computer and stuck it in another computer
[12:47] <fatejudger> the new computer doesn't recognize the Primary Hard Drive
[12:47] <fatejudger> I'm guessing the MBR is to blame
[12:47] <Amon_Re> fatejudger, check your jumpers
[12:47] <johnes123> Amon_Re, i'm pretty new to this, how would i do that?
[12:47] <kriz> it's HDA
[12:47] <fatejudger> Amon_Re: I'm pretty sure that the jumpers aren't to blame, since they were both primary HDs
[12:47] <CanadianSnow> crimsun its really old
[12:47] <CanadianSnow> I got it off my neigbour for free
[12:48] <Amon_Re> fatejudger, if your BIOS can't identify/find the drive, then it's not properly connected, to big for the machine, or has a faulty cable
[12:48] <CanadianSnow> and i dont know anythin thats in it
[12:48] <crimsun> CanadianSnow: that really doesn't help. Please use lspnp -v (from pcmcia-cs) to obtain the info.

[12:48] <CanadianSnow> crimsun from what? :s
[12:48] <fatejudger> Amon_Re: well I checked the connections twice, the cabling was working this morning, and it's only a 30 gig HD
[12:49] <kriz> Crimsum: After installing the Kernel update, I cannot boot to Ubuntu anymore [Whichever kernel I choose]
[12:49] <crimsun> CanadianSnow: in a terminal, lspnp -v
[12:49] <crimsun> kriz: what's the error?
[12:49] <fatejudger> Amon_Re: I haven't checked the jumpers, but I'm guessing Dell sets all of their HDs as primary
[12:49] <kriz> Crimsum: This is the error:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7430
[12:49] <CanadianSnow> ok
[12:49] <Amon_Re> kriz, when you get the bootmenu, select "edit" then replace (hd0,0) with (hd0,2) & try to boot, if it boots, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst & run grub-install
[12:49] <Amon_Re> fatejudger, they usually use cable select mode
[12:49] <CanadianSnow> i've dont it lots of times before, and i put it in pastebin a while ago

[12:51] <mark_> Amon_Re, cool :)
[12:51] <kriz> I replace hd0,0 with hd0,2 got it.   ***taking notes***
[12:51] <Amon_Re> kriz, kinda forgot the keys used in the grub menu,  but it should tell you wich ones to press
[12:52] <kriz> ok

[12:55] <ompaul> cr1mson, your own
[12:55] <Amon_Re> cr1mson, it's the same as your own user account

[12:56] <amicrawler> i alien it
[12:56] <mwe> nicholaspaul: install the dependencies first
[12:56] <nalioth> nicholaspaul: why are you in here all the time?
[12:56] <Seveas> Amon_Re, ompaul, don't lie please: by default there is no root password.
[12:56] <nicholaspaul> nalioth, THERE you are :)

[12:57] <Amon_Re> Seveas, there isn't? i thought the installer set it by default to the same password as the created user, didn't knowx
[12:57] <Amon_Re> -x
[12:57] <crimsun> CanadianSnow: that's not what I asked for. I asked for lspnp -v
[12:57] <mwe> nulldrone: is it listed in the notebook wiki?

[12:58] <CanadianSnow> uh
[12:58] <CanadianSnow> fine
[12:58] <ompaul> Amon_Re, as Seveas pointed out, actually root is disabled, you get sudo to do the work and it needs your password to do as superuser

[12:59] <davebgimp> Hello. I'm running breezy with a soundblaster audigy 2. It works great. However, I installed wine and any application I try to run through it has no sound. I've tried selecting both alsa and oss as drivers, with no luck. EsounD gave me extremely broken and chppt sound, basically unusable. Is there anything anyone thinks I could try?
[12:59] <Amon_Re> ompaul, so it's the same as in OSX apperantly, never really noticed it (always use sudo)
[12:59] <mwe> CanadianSnow: is that the ubuntu kernel or a custom one?
[12:59] <ompaul> Amon_Re, ehh no it is free software but we won't go there :-)
[12:59] <CanadianSnow> ummm I just installed from a Ubuntu CD my Dad got from Work
[12:59] <nulldrone> mwe, yup that's the problem no aspires in the 3000 class are listed.. i guess i'll just have to TIAS
[12:59] <ompaul> why would audio tracks play fast
[12:59] <Amon_Re> ompaul, well, the same as in Darwin then, the free software foundation of OSX ;)
[01:00] <ompaul> Amon_Re, touche
[01:00] <nulldrone> mwe, and of course i'll put the outcome up on the wiki
[01:00] <CanadianSnow> ummm I just installed from a Ubuntu CD my Dad got from Work mwe
[01:00] <crimsun> CanadianSnow: reboot into the bios and tell me what sound card values there are
[01:01] <VR^> how do i move all, let's say, JPG files from a folder to another, using the terminal? i want to move all JPEGs in subfolders as well.
[01:01] <mwe> nulldrone: that'd be great. also try google to see if anyone has installed any linux distro on it to get hints for the installation
[01:01] <CanadianSnow> how do i do that crimsun?
[01:01] <enyc> VR^: hrrrm
[01:01] <BurgerMann> When I install KDE applications I need to specify where QT is installed, but I don't know where it is! :(
[01:01] <enyc> VR^: you could use find  to find the files you want
[01:01] <graft> VR^: you want to move all the JPEGs in a directory tree to some other folder?
[01:01] <nulldrone> mwe, i've seen stuff on the 3003, but not the EXACT model I have (some issues getting the battery monitor it seemed)
[01:01] <mwe> nulldrone: I did that for mine and found a dedicated site
[01:01] <VR^> enyc: good point
[01:01] <enyc> VR^:and pipo this into xargs to perform moves ?
[01:01] <psycode4> alguien habla espaol?
[01:02] <tech9iner> k mates..
[01:02] <cr1mson> I think I fixed it.  Thank you. :)
[01:02] <g1m> hello
[01:02] <nulldrone> mwe, and the resolution of the issue went over my head, lol
[01:02] <graft> yeah do like... mv `find . | grep -i \.jpg ` <wherever>
[01:02] <enyc> VR^: I reccoment getting xargs to execute 'echo ' commands ... instead of doing real mv commands first ;-)
[01:02] <mwe> nulldrone: I guess your odds are good though then
[01:02] <VR^> enyc: thanks
[01:03] <nulldrone> mwe, yeah.. probably, we'll see :P
[01:03] <tech9iner> 1st probs on my 2nd 'sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop'  ;[.. old lappy locked up.. to powered down n back up..
[01:03] <CanadianSnow> how do i do that crimsun?
[01:03] <g1m> i have a problem with ndiswrapper: i cannot set my ESSID via iwconfig or editing the /etc/ndiswrapper/<driver>/<id>.conf file .. why is that ?
[01:03] <tech9iner> then tried running xubuntu install call again..
[01:03] <graft> is XFCE awesome?
[01:03] <nulldrone> graft, depends on who you ask ;)
[01:03] <tafsen> if Im gonna update from php4 to php5 on apache. Do I need to remove php4 first?
[01:03] <tech9iner> term output tells me to run 'dpkg --configure -a'.. i did..
[01:03] <graft> well, i'm asking you, i guess
[01:04] <mwe> g1m: did you use a driver that is reported to work with ndiswrapper?
[01:04] <nomin> can someone in here tell me if it's normal to be getting port scanned every minute of every day from different IP's located around the world?
[01:04] <graft> nomin: if you're at pentagon.gov, maybe
[01:04] <graft> or defenselink.mil i guess
[01:04] <nulldrone> graft, i have never used it... so i can't answer for myself
[01:04] <nomin> I've been getting port scanned like crazy lately
[01:04] <g1m> mwe: no, it is not in the list.. but dmesg, ifconfig and the rest of iwconfig look good
[01:04] <FarrisG> do the Ubuntu su/sudo packages work differently from the debian ones? For some reason, this install script for a tool I'm testing (zimbra) creates a bunch of directories as my regular user instead of the root or admin user created for the tool, and it breaks permissions for the tool
[01:04] <mwe> g1m: last time I used ndiswrapper my problems went away once I installed a driver listed on ndiswrapper.sf.net
[01:05] <g1m> mwe: can i install any driver that seems to use the same chipset ?
[01:05] <nomin> Most of the port scans are originating from china
[01:05] <tech9iner> then trying to run install again and it keeps failing and suggesting i run .. oh wait.. rereading and finally noticed ''sudo apt-get -f install' only to fix.. mea culpa AGAin! ;] ]
[01:06] <mwe> g1m: no not all drivers will work. I had to install a different version to get mine to work a while back
[01:06] <tech9iner> nomin: hadnt been googling for porn again riiiiight?!!?? rofl wink wink
[01:06] <mwe> g1m: what's the error iwconfig gives you?
[01:06] <g1m> mwe: so trying some different windows-drivers could fix the problem?
[01:06] <mwe> g1m: possibly
[01:06] <nomin> tech9iner, nope
[01:06] <g1m> mwe: no error.. i just can't change my ESSID
[01:06] <g1m> mwe: it's always "off/any"
[01:06] <graft> nomin: how do you detect your portscans?
[01:07] <mwe> g1m: not even in dmesg?
[01:07] <tech9iner> man google stock dropped worst ever in their history today.. dayamn!
[01:07] <g1m> nope, no error
[01:07] <nomin> graft, the logfile in my router
[01:07] <mwe> g1m: hmm. well I'd try a different driver version and google
[01:07] <amicrawler> what is the best deb distro out there and lots of lots of games and video mp3 etc:
[01:07] <g1m> mwe: k, thanks
[01:07] <grew> does anyone know why when i do an apt-get update or apt-get install <anything> when its downloading it sits for a good 5 minutes on each thing saying "[Waiting for Headers] "?
[01:08] <graft> nomin: what does it log? requests on closed ports? or what?
[01:08] <nomin> graft, I keep seeing IP's under "incoming" in my router's log file along with what port it's trying to access
[01:08] <graft> what port is it?
[01:08] <nomin> different ports, lately it's mosly been 1026 and 1027

[01:29] <CanadianSnow> graft I have no sound... Ubuntu doesn't see the sound card
[01:29] <Ruth_Lemos> psycode: don't think so. at least not breezy

[01:31] <tritium> CodyDH: but you should be able to specify size, including by percentage
[01:31] <CodyDH> tritium: Awesome
[01:31] <F43RY> My ubuntu system doesn't open .png file anymore
[01:31] <hunkyspunky2> hello
[01:31] <psycode> PuMpErNiCkLe, bummer.. I'll have to get knoppix then
[01:32] <mcdenyer> i have xine installed now how do i get it to play on firefox?
[01:32] <CodyDH> tritium: Any idea what kind of bootloader it uses? Grub for PPC?
[01:32] <tritium> psycode: the installer can resize partitions.  What do you need gparted for?
[01:32] <tritium> CodyDH: not grub, but I can't recall the name
[01:32] <PuMpErNiCkLe> CodyDH: Yaboot, I think.
[01:32] <hunkyspunky2> i used gparted as my graphical partiontion manger ... i ran mine via live cd
[01:32] <tritium> that's it, PuMpErNiCkLe
[01:32] <psycode> tritium, i want to create a new drive from the free space in my ubuntu partition...
[01:32] <mwe> psycode: or the gparted live cd
[01:32] <kriz> I have a problem.
[01:33] <kriz> [who dosn't? :P]
[01:33] <hunkyspunky2> so if i install grub.. on my drive..
[01:33] <hunkyspunky2> i can run ubuntu?
[01:33] <kriz> Can somebody help me?
[01:33] <tritium> psycode: you can use mkfs
[01:33] <mwe> psycode: does knoppix have gparted? not only qtparted?
[01:33] <hunkyspunky2> i already got it installed
[01:33] <kriz> My problem is
[01:33] <hunkyspunky2> just don't got grub installed
[01:33] <CodyDH> PuMpErNiCkLe: Cool. Thank you
[01:33] <psycode> tritium, mkfs?
[01:33] <PuMpErNiCkLe> CodyDH: np :)
[01:33] <kriz> that I cannot boot to Ubuntu after the Kernel update
[01:33] <dhart> hi
[01:33] <tritium> psycode: yes
[01:33] <CodyDH> tritium: One last question :) Any idea if Ubuntu/Linux in general can read OS X partitions? (HFS+, I believe....)
[01:33] <psycode> tritium, what's that?
[01:34] <PuMpErNiCkLe> kriz: You should be able to select the kernel you were using before the update in teh Grub menu.
[01:34] <anavim> CodyDH: it reads them fine, but I don't recommend writing to HFS+
[01:34] <kriz> Neither of the kernel that I have works
[01:34] <tritium> psycode: it's a command for building filesystems
[01:34] <F43RY> None program I have is able to open .png files. Any suggestions?
[01:34] <kriz> all of them gives me the same error:
[01:34] <tritium> F43RY: using which application?
[01:34] <CodyDH> anavim: Cool... so anyways, I could copy my MP3s off?
[01:35] <kriz> this error:
[01:35] <F43RY> all
[01:35] <kriz> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7430
[01:35] <anavim> CodyDH: mount -t hfsplus /dev/your-drive /media/folder
[01:35] <anavim> CodyDH: yes
[01:35] <CanadianSnow> who wants to help me?
[01:35] <mwe> kriz: the error you posted sounds like a damaged file system
[01:35] <tritium> F43RY: what changed since you were last able to open them?
[01:35] <F43RY> I don't know
[01:35] <CanadianSnow> how do I find stuff about my sound in the bios?
[01:35] <mwe> kriz: or partition
[01:35] <anavim> CodyDH: /media/folder is the name of a folder you create
[01:35] <F43RY> I don't remember
[01:35] <FlannelKing> My gnome won't start.    Anyone help?
[01:35] <CanadianSnow> mwe think you could help me? :) plz?
[01:35] <tritium> FlannelKing: did you look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log ?
[01:36] <kriz> mew: does that mean....there is no solution ?
[01:36] <Peggerr> http://www.hacktopia.net/
[01:36] <grim76> kriz: what format is the partition?
[01:36] <tritium> CanadianSnow: try lspci and lshw to find out about your sound card.  Also, look in /proc/asound
[01:36] <kriz> ext2
[01:36] <F43RY> It drives me crazy
[01:36] <mwe> CanadianSnow: what's the problem again?
[01:36] <grim76> kriz: can you boot to recovery console?
[01:36] <F43RY> what could I check?
[01:37] <kriz> no, neither the recovery
[01:37] <tritium> F43RY: did you remove any installed packages?
[01:37] <F43RY> no, absolutely
[01:37] <tritium> something had to have happened, F43RY
[01:37] <grim76> kriz: hmmm might want to see if you boot to the ubuntu cd and see if it will see the partition correctly
[01:37] <CodyDH> anavim: OK... thank you.
[01:37] <F43RY> I agree but what
[01:37] <kriz> a guy, here told me to change (hd0,0) to (hd0,2)  But, I noticed that it alread is (hd0,2)
[01:37] <F43RY> i don't have any idea
[01:38] <kriz> so, since I remembered that my boot is in hd0,3, I changed to ir
[01:38] <kriz> it
[01:38] <MrPockets> is there a way i can message a windows box on my LAN via UBUNUT
[01:38] <kriz> and it gave me the following:
[01:38] <psycode> Is there a way to update to the newest kernel and write to NTFS from ubuntu?
[01:38] <CanadianSnow> mwe i have no sound
[01:38] <kriz> this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7431
[01:38] <F43RY> what should I check?
[01:38] <FlannelKing> tritium, would that just be for local logins? or XDMCP as well?  Since I can log in locally, just not via cygwin/xwin
[01:38] <tritium> F43RY: please run this: "apt-cache policy ubuntu-desktop", just to verify that it is installed (and hence all of its dependencies)_
[01:38] <trackilizer> Hey guys need your help.
[01:38] <CanadianSnow> and tritium I have done that, it doesn't find anything, check my pastebin
[01:39] <mwe> CanadianSnow: does lspci list the card?
[01:39] <F43RY> ok, just a moment
[01:39] <tritium> FlannelKing: did you enable XDMCP?
[01:39] <CanadianSnow> mwe no
[01:39] <PuMpErNiCkLe> psycode: Not through apt, afaik.
[01:39] <trackilizer> I just upgraded my video card and i can't see anything where the login screen should be.
[01:39] <grim76> kriz:  not sure on that one
[01:39] <mwe> CanadianSnow: then I don't know what to do
[01:39] <PuMpErNiCkLe> psycode: It's available for Dapper, but not Breezy.
[01:39] <CanadianSnow> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7347 mwe
[01:39] <trackilizer> So, i just tpyed in my user name and password and heard the login music.
[01:39] <nomin> does openoffice.org2 run on ubuntu?  It wouldn't open at all on mine (5.10) so I just uninstalled it.  I need to decide wether to try openoffice again or just install other programs.
[01:39] <CanadianSnow> pumpernickle think you could try helpin me plz?
[01:40] <FlannelKing> tritium yeah, and I can get to the login screen (and actually, I can log in using KDE, just not gnome)
[01:40] <ardchoille> I need to exec a binary upon login, how do I do that? Putting /path/to/binary in ~/.xinitrc didn't work, putting it in /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc didn't work either
[01:40] <PuMpErNiCkLe> CanadianSnow: Possibly, what's the issue?
[01:40] <tritium> nomin: the beta of openoffice.org2 in 5.10 works well
[01:40] <trackilizer> I then typed "crtl + F1" and installed bitchx to chat here.
[01:40] <cemmel> question: I'm trying to compile WindowLab, and when i run make it gives me the following error (among many others): "X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory". does anyonw know what library it's referring to and/or how to get it for ubuntu?
[01:40] <anavim> trackilizer: try booting in safemode for starters
[01:40] <kriz> wow! I guess I am the first one to have that problem :P hehe [Since I didn't see any report in the Ubuntuforum]
[01:40] <trackilizer> What is it i should do?
[01:40] <psycode> PuMpErNiCkLe, i see... thanks
[01:40] <Kianus> Hm.. Is nVidia-drivers installed by default?
[01:40] <ompaul> Kianus, no
[01:40] <ompaul> Kianus, they are not free
[01:40] <trackilizer> anavim, how?
[01:40] <tritium> Kianus: no, but there are easily installed.
[01:40] <tritium> !tell Kianus about nvidia
[01:40] <ompaul> Kianus, that is to say not free software, free gratis
[01:40] <anavim> trackilizer: nm, you switched to a virtual terminal
[01:40] <mwe> kriz: is ubuntu on hda3 or hda4?
[01:41] <kriz> hda3
[01:41] <trackilizer> anavim, i have no idea what you're talking about.
[01:41] <Kianus> tritium: thanks
[01:41] <mwe> kriz: then grub should say (hd0,2) and that's what you had
[01:41] <MrPockets> can i message a windows box on my LAN using an ubuntu?
[01:41] <nomin> trituim, would you happen to know just why openoffice wouldn't open on my system?
[01:41] <kriz> hda4 is the Swap, if I remember correctly...
[01:41] <F43RY> impossible to check packages list. That machine is in an intranet
[01:41] <mwe> kriz: can you mount the partition from a live cd even?
[01:41] <CanadianSnow> ya tritium, lshw doesn't even see anything
[01:42] <anavim> trackilizer: sorry, I can't remember the name of the tool to reconfigure video settings
[01:42] <kriz> haven't try to mount from the Live cd.
[01:42] <tritium> okay, CanadianSnow
[01:42] <trackilizer> Crap!
[01:42] <CanadianSnow> pumpernickle ubuntu doesn't see my soundcard
[01:42] <trackilizer> oh well, thanks anyways
[01:42] <mwe> kriz: try it. see if you get an error and if you do post it
[01:42] <PuMpErNiCkLe> CanadianSnow: I don't see anything in your lspci that looks like a soundcard... what *should* it be seeing?
[01:42] <kriz> how do I mount from the Live cd?
[01:43] <kriz> mount /dev/hda3/rescute ?
[01:43] <kriz> rescue
[01:43] <mwe> kriz: mkdir -p /mnt/hda3 && mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3
[01:43] <mwe> kriz: as root or with sudo
[01:43] <mwe> kriz: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/hda3 && sudo mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/hda3
[01:44] <kriz> ok
[01:44] <dcode> I'm using dapper flight 2 with KDE and as soon as I login and KDM launches KDE, I lose use of the keyboard....any ideas what could cause that?
[01:44] <mwe> dcode: using an alfa release could cause that :)
[01:45] <hunkyspunky2> hello
[01:45] <hunkyspunky2> can anyone help me out with reinstalling grub?
[01:45] <dcode> mwe, I know it's a development release...but I figured it woulda been discovered by now...and it has worked before
[01:45] <F43RY> ok, I disconnect this machine and connect the other. I'll update you later
[01:45] <hunkyspunky2> i installed windows after i installed linux
[01:45] <CanadianSnow> pumpernickle thats the problem? I should have one somewhere, but it doesn't see it
[01:45] <mwe> dcode: you need to post errors from the log files
[01:45] <hunkyspunky2> and now i'm told to reinstall or repair grub...
[01:45] <CanadianSnow> I want sound.... but I cant get it :( (pumpernickel
[01:46] <hunkyspunky2> can anyone help me out with installing it from a bootable floppy?
[01:46] <dcode> right-o mwe
[01:46] <PuMpErNiCkLe> CanadianSnow: What should it be seeing?  What's your soundcard?  (Maker, model #, integrated/pci...)
[01:47] <anavim> hunkyspunky2: you need to follow the steps to recovering ubuntu after windows install on the ubuntu wiki
[01:47] <mwe> !grub
[01:47] <ubotu> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[01:48] <MrPockets> can i message a windows box on my LAN using an ubuntu?
[01:48] <anavim> what ubotu said  :)
[01:48] <mwe> MrPockets: message it?
[01:48] <PuMpErNiCkLe> MrPockets: Using what protocol?
[01:48] <MrPockets> yes
[01:48] <anavim> MrPockets: like with Instant Messenger?
[01:48] <mwe> MrPockets: what do you mean by messaging it?
[01:49] <butcherbird> MrPockets: net message?
[01:49] <MrPockets> yes
[01:49] <MrPockets> net message
[01:50] <mwe> MrPockets: you'd typically you smbfs to mount shares and stuff I don't know about messages
[01:50] <tritium> MrPockets: gaim (Applications->Internet->Gaim Internet Messenger) support many protocols
[01:50] <kirtis> MrPockets: Samba can do the net message thing, but i don't recall the syntax.  man samba. ;)
[01:50] <MrPockets> just in windows you can netmessage via dos, im wondering if Ubuntu has a similar function
[01:51] <butcherbird> MrPockets: maybe with dosbox never tried though
[01:51] <butcherbird> MrPockets: samba prob best bet
[01:51] <mwe> kirtis: samba? isn't that for windows to communicate with linux rather than the other way around?
[01:51] <MrPockets> just sudo apt-get samba?
[01:52] <kirtis> mwe: It does both
[01:52] <CanadianSnow> pumpernickel, oh, i have no idea
[01:52] <mwe> kirtis: hm. I just use smbfs to mount windows shares. no samba
[01:52] <butcherbird> sudo apt-get install samba to search for a package apt-cache search packagename
[01:52] <PuMpErNiCkLe> CanadianSnow: Is it a pci card or an integrated chip?
[01:53] <ki4ikl> does anyone in her eknow abotu icecast?
[01:53] <ki4ikl> i need help configuring it
[01:53] <mwe> kirtis: I've used samba to get windows to see linux shares though
[01:53] <cemmel> does anyone know why my /usr/X11R6/lib/X11 not contain any .h files and what one can do about this on ubuntu?
[01:53] <samwiser> Hi I am a brand new ubuntu user can someone help guide me through a few things?
[01:53] <PuMpErNiCkLe> ki4ikl: There's a #icecast channel - you might have some luck there.
[01:53] <musashiden> can i get some help with mplayer?
[01:54] <samwiser> I need a step by step guide of how to be able to play mp3s?
[01:54] <mwe> musashiden: you'll need to ask a specific question
[01:54] <Xenguy> !mp3
[01:54] <ubotu> mp3 is, like, totally, a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[01:54] <samwiser> and also how to install my ati radeon graphics card?
[01:54] <anavim> cemmel: are you looking for libx11-dev?
[01:54] <samwiser> thanks ubotu!
[01:54] <mwe> !ati
[01:54] <ubotu> ati is probably at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10
[01:54] <cemmel> anavim, i think that's it -- thanks :)
[01:54] <ki4ikl> krap no one is talking in icecast, krap
[01:55] <musashiden> i get this error when trying to open any video file with mplayer:
[01:55] <musashiden> Error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device.
[01:55] <mwe> musashiden: what is the selected vo device?
[01:55] <CanadianSnow> I dont know pumpernickel, sorry, but it does see pci, just, i dont/didn't know what that means
[01:56] <kent> musashiden, you need to configure mplayer to use a video output that it can use.  look through the manual for mplayer
[01:56] <CanadianSnow> pumpernickel, should i open the box and see whats inside???
[01:56] <PuMpErNiCkLe> CanadianSnow: That would work.  Check if it's an actual add-on card or just a motherboard component.
[01:58] <akant> do any of you use the quake2 package binary with osp mod's?
[01:59] <varsendagger> how do you get quake2 to work?
[01:59] <varsendagger> hey why doesn't the spellchecker in abiword work?
[01:59] <s1gnAl> hi guys, can someone help me troubleshoot why X won't start? I've looked at the logs and they don't yield much info....
[01:59] <akant> quake2 runs great under Breezy
[01:59] <akant> you have to install the pak files off the cdrom
[02:00] <varsendagger> ahh
[02:00] <akant> my question is for mods
[02:00] <frazmanw> hey I am used to having a network icon in gnome file manager, and I don't. All my samba etc works but other computers are not showing in the file manager as there is no network tab. is there a fix?
[02:00] <varsendagger> --- con't have the quake 2 cdrom
[02:00] <akant> You can download the quake2 demo and use those .pak files
[02:00] <CanadianSnow> pumpernickel im thinking its an add in but ill check
[02:00] <Xenguy> s1gnAl: have you tried 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'  ?
[02:00] <PuMpErNiCkLe> CanadianSnow: k
[02:00] <akant> the debian .deb had a great setup script
[02:01] <akant> which is missing in ubuntu?
[02:01] <blacks> how can I get a list of packages that dpkg-reconfigure works on?
[02:01] <s1gnAl> well, I cant even get a terminal when it starts up, it appears to go through init and then I get a black screen
[02:01] <musashiden> kent, how do i do that? :/
[02:01] <s1gnAl> I have already reinstalled once
[02:01] <akant> go to ftp.idsoftware.com and download the quake2 demo
[02:01] <Xenguy> s1gnAl: nvidia videocard by any chance?
[02:01] <Kriz> hi
[02:01] <Kriz> I'm back
[02:01] <akant> and extra the data into a dir on your system/
[02:02] <s1gnAl> xenguy: no, readeon chipset on laptop
[02:02] <s1gnAl> *radeon
[02:02] <musashiden> mwe: erm, i dont know >_<
[02:02] <akant> then just apt-get the quake2 package
[02:02] <PuMpErNiCkLe> blacks: man dpkg-reconfigure
[02:02] <Xenguy> s1gnAl: hrm, so it is not even getting to the point where it tries to load X ?
[02:02] <akant> and make sure the stuff in the data dir is in your /usr/lib/games/quake2 folder I believe
[02:02] <Xenguy> s1gnAl: or is it?
[02:03] <s1gnAl> xenguy: well Im not sure, looking at the logs it appears that it might be, but doesn't go all the way for whatever reason
[02:03] <blacks> PuMpErNiCkLe, I see how you can reconfigure all, but not how to see a list
[02:03] <MrRio> hey
[02:03] <Xenguy> s1gnAl: nod... so if you do Ctrl-Alt-F2, can you get to a console/command prompt?
[02:04] <PuMpErNiCkLe> blacks: dpkg -l
[02:04] <s1gnAl> xenguy: yes, correct
[02:04] <vortexdude> hello everyone, i am a big linux noob and i'm trying to simply edit the menu.lst file for the Grub boot loader, but it always says that i do not have permission.  How can I get permission? I thought that i was the admin...
[02:04] <s1gnAl> xenguy: ahh scratch that, no I cant
[02:04] <anavim> vortexdude: with sudo
[02:04] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vortexdude: sudo gedit /path/to/menu.lst
[02:04] <vortexdude> ok what is sudo?
[02:04] <Kriz> .. looks like they left.
[02:04] <Kriz> Anyway
[02:04] <Kriz> Guys/girls
[02:05] <s1gnAl> xenguy: I tried F2 all the way to F12, can not get a terminal
[02:05] <PuMpErNiCkLe> vortexdude: It's a 'do as superuser' command.
[02:05] <varsendagger> vortexdude, that is the superuser acces with your own password
[02:05] <fatejudger> how do I mount my NTFS drive in the CLI?
[02:05] <vortexdude> hmm ic, thanks alot guys
[02:05] <Kriz> I am not able to boot to Ubuntu since the Kernel Update [Yesterdays?]
[02:05] <Kriz> Can somebody help me?
[02:05] <armosfighter> what do i do to switch back to windows
[02:05] <armosfighter> cause the cd isnt booting up
[02:05] <Xenguy> s1gnAl: wow, hard to make progress with a command-line.  Looks like you'd have to boot off the install CD with the 'rescue' option or something similar
[02:05] <s1gnAl> fatejudger: mount /dev/whatever /mnt/point, there might be a flag for the NTFS file system, cant remember....
[02:06] <vortexdude> varsendagger, it said getedit: command not found
[02:06] <anavim> armosfighter: take the cd out
[02:06] <navarone> armosfighter, take cd out and reboot
[02:06] <armosfighter> it is out
[02:06] <Kriz> anyone can help me?
[02:06] <vortexdude> oh i spelled wrong...
[02:06] <armosfighter> what are you talking about
[02:06] <armosfighter> lol
[02:06] <vb_coder> is there an open ssh server that will run on windows?
[02:06] <theneonshadow> what does the command sudo mean
[02:06] <armosfighter> im trying to get rid of ubuntu and install windows is that so hard
[02:06] <_jason> theneonshadow: super user do
[02:06] <cyphase> how can you prevent Evolution from sending out your name with an email on a per email basis?
[02:06] <s1gnAl> xenguy: is there a guide somewhere on using the rescue function? I tried that previously when I had this problem and I didnt have any luck
[02:07] <navarone> armosfighter, is your bios set to boot from cd-rom first?
[02:07] <vb_coder> theneonshadow, sudo is like having admistrative priviledges to do things normal users cant do
[02:07] <armosfighter> no idea
[02:07] <kent> musashiden, hmm, either from a terminal by running (man mplayer) or look at mplayers homepage.
[02:07] <kirtis> armosfighter: boot from your windows cd and choose repair windows, then do "fixmbr"
[02:07] <theneonshadow> vd_coder: ahhh i see
[02:07] <armosfighter> how do i boot from my windows cd
[02:07] <armosfighter> ?
[02:07] <varsendagger> vortexdude, type sudo gedit menu.1st
[02:07] <musashiden> kent, i mean, what exactly am i looking for in that manual
[02:07] <Kriz> When I try to boot
[02:07] <Xenguy> s1gnAl: hrm, ubotu just says this: "I guess rescue is Boot the install cd with rescue as boot parameter for system rescue mode"
[02:07] <Kriz> I get this error or message:

[02:08] <kent> musashiden, how to configure mplayer. You need to edit a file if i remember correctly.  its probably in .mplayer in your home.
[02:08] <liable> armosfighter: just you need to delete the partition, and rewrite the mbr
[02:08] <Xenguy> s1gnAl: basically you'd have to boot off the CD in rescue mode, then mount your hard-drive and have a look around...
[02:08] <vortexdude> varsen, thanks alot :)
[02:08] <navarone> armosfighter, restart computer and press "del" key when it is almost set...you should see a msg at bottom telling you how to enter set up...when you see msg press whatever key and enter bios setup. Go to Boot section and chnge the boot order so that cd-rom is fiorst
[02:08] <Xenguy> s1gnAl: maybe see if /etc/X11/xorg.conf exists (the X config file)
[02:08] <s1gnAl> xenguy: well I basically already did that, but with Knoppix
[02:09] <theneonshadow> whats the command for unpacking rmp files
[02:09] <Xenguy> s1gnAl: yeah, Knoppix is good
[02:09] <armosfighter> okay
[02:09] <armosfighter> ill be back if it doesnt work
[02:09] <navarone> armosfighter,  ok
[02:09] <vb_coder> wine says i need an active x control can anyone help?
[02:10] <saik0> Wow somebody installed a linux distro cant install windows? never thought I'd see the day
[02:10] <Xenguy> s1gnAl: if there is an X conf file, then try reducing colour from 24 to 16; also try reducing the resolution options if that doesn't work
[02:10] <grimmy> hah
[02:10] <dell500> anyone know how to stop the command cp in console from copying the rest of the contents it's copying?
[02:10] <Xenguy> s1gnAl: otherwise, maybe someone else here has better ideas than me, or search the wiki/forums
[02:10] <dell500> just close the terminal?
[02:10] <navarone> saiko...armosfighter could not install because he didn't realize he needed cd-rom to boot first
[02:10] <PuMpErNiCkLe> theneonshadow: rpm?
[02:11] <PuMpErNiCkLe> !rpm
[02:11] <ubotu> rpm is, like, the Redhat Package Management file. Very similar to Debians DEB files, but require alien to install. ask me about !alien
[02:11] <PuMpErNiCkLe> !alien
[02:11] <ubotu> methinks alien is a program to convert RPMs to DEBs. Can give problems. Website: http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/
[02:11] <vb_coder> saik0, nope i cant get wine to work
[02:11] <s1gnAl> xenguy: hmm, looking at something here, looks like my videocard is configured as a PCI card, I believe this chipset is on an AGP bus
[02:11] <vb_coder> can you help?
[02:11] <Xenguy> s1gnAl: not being a hardware guy, that means more to you than me :-)
[02:11] <musashiden> kent, found it. but what do i put in here?:   vo=
[02:12] <musashiden> x11 ?
[02:12] <navarone> s1gnAl, I think that is normal...my card is agp but is listed in pci slot
[02:12] <saik0> navarone, Yea i saw that. But CDROM had to be first in the bootloader to install ubuntu you know...
[02:12] <theneonshadow> .rpm
[02:12] <theneonshadow> its LimeWireLinux.rmp
[02:12] <medgno> is nvidia.com not working, or is it just my bad internet?
[02:12] <kent> musashiden, from reading for example the mplayer homepage you should get some alternatives to try from. I dont really know.  But x11 is one of the yeah..
[02:12] <s1gnAl> darnit
[02:12] <navarone> saiko...he did not have ubuntu installed he was trying and was going to go back to windows...at least that was the jist of it from what i read
[02:12] <varsendagger> it seems like i have to run apt-get update like everyday, what is the deal? it complains "cannot stat package
[02:13] <ubuntu_> can anyone help me out with installing grub with the ubuntu live cd?
[02:13] <navarone> saiko> we'll see if he gets back...<s>
[02:13] <musashiden> kent, well iam still getting the same error..
[02:13] <_jason> ubotu: tell ubuntu_ about grub
[02:13] <ubuntu_> navarone... whats going on buddy,
[02:13] <kent> musashiden, then try some other alternatives. There are some of them right?
[02:13] <Xenguy> s1gnAl: so are you looking at /etc/X11/xorg.conf then ?
[02:13] <PuMpErNiCkLe> theneonshadow: alien -d /path/LimeWireLinux.rpm
[02:13] <musashiden> kent, dont know...
[02:13] <saik0> navarone, ah ok. misunderstood
[02:13] <navarone> hi ubuntu...ummm...the name sounds familiar but the face is iffy
[02:14] <ubuntu_> but.. i tried the grun there i downloade it and it supposed to make a bootable floppy..
[02:14] <clemslacker> having trouble playing preview clips at netflix, any suggestions on what player to use
[02:14] <saik0> !tell ubuntu about grub
[02:14] <ubuntu_> but it kicks out with an eroor about some output file error
[02:14] <saik0> !tell ubuntu_ about grub
[02:14] <theneonshadow> how do i use 'fakeroot'
[02:14] <_jason> theneonshadow: what are you building?
[02:15] <kent> musashiden, can you run a terminal?   if so, then run the command "mplayer -vo help".  There you see a list of alternatives. Then you can try from the terminal by running "mplayer -vo [prefered output]  file.avi".  change file.avi to the file you want to play. (it requires that you know how to use the terminal though.. do you? (not all do)
[02:15] <theneonshadow> it says i need to be either root or fakeroot to run the command alien -d. i can go load in root, i just don't know what fakeroot is. Just wondering cuz its a new word for me
[02:15] <kent> musashiden, xv, x11, sdl are some of the alternatives.
[02:15] <Xenguy> !fakeroot
[02:15] <ubotu> Xenguy: I'm not sure, is it larger than a breadbox?
[02:15] <Xenguy> heh
[02:16] <_jason> musashiden: have you installed your video drivers?
[02:16] <ubuntu_> can anyone help me out in here.. instaed of pmming me with links.. to info i don't understand very well?
[02:16] <_jason> theneonshadow: fakeroot is a command, if you tell use what you are trying to do there may be an easier way we can tell you
[02:16] <ubuntu_> navarone..
[02:16] <musashiden> _jason, if you mean the codecs, then yes
[02:16] <ubuntu_> you now anything about this?
[02:17] <grimmy> Does anyone know how or a link off hand where I can find good information for changing my resolution to 1280x1024? thanks
[02:17] <_jason> musashiden: no, I mean video drivers :P like nvidia or ati
[02:17] <navarone> about what ubuntu_?
[02:17] <Xenguy> !resolution
[02:17] <ubotu> methinks resolution is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[02:17] <theneonshadow> _jason: Im trying to install LimeWire from the file LimeWireLunix.rpm file on my desktop
[02:17] <cemmel> why don't i have a .xsession file?
[02:17] <musashiden> well, the actual graphic hardware is an i810, but the system recognises it as a "Mesa driver"
[02:17] <iKernel> Hi everyone
[02:17] <_jason> ubotu: tell theneonshadow about limewire
[02:17] <navarone> theneonshadow, why not get a deb file? Isn't there one available?
[02:17] <zenmaster> Hi, I'm having a hard time getting azuraus working.
[02:17] <zenmaster> I have pppoe internet.
[02:18] <zenmaster> And it's telling me there is a problem with my nat.
[02:18] <theneonshadow> navarone: idk this is what the site gave me
[02:18] <_jason> theneonshadow: ubotu sent you an easier way
[02:18] <musashiden> _jason, well, the actual graphic hardware is an i810, but the system recognises it as a "Mesa driver"
[02:18] <theneonshadow> _jason: yeah i see that thanks dude
[02:18] <zenmaster> I do not have a router, I used pppoeconf to set it up and  onnect.
[02:18] <iKernel> How would I spread an ubuntu installation dvd over multiple CDs? (It is a live dvd as well as an installation dvd.)
[02:18] <ubuntu_> navarone.. can u help me out with installing grub?
[02:18] <poningru> theneonshadow: did you get your answer about fakeroot?
[02:18] <_jason> musashiden: hrmm I see.  I don't know about that then...
[02:18] <theneonshadow> Does linux have '!java' preinstalled or do i need to get it?
[02:19] <_jason> ubotu: tell theneonshadow about java
[02:19] <poningru> theneonshadow: there is a java in that site
[02:19] <theneonshadow> poningru: no further than it is a command
[02:19] <zenmaster> Any ideas about what is going on?
[02:19] <zenmaster> Why I can't get azuraus to work?   What he sent you now references !javadebs, so you can just write 'javadebs' to him in the private message and he will give you the info
[02:19] <poningru> so you would do something like
[02:20] <iKernel> zenmaster: You need to open the port in the firewall, and, if you're behind a router, you need to foward that port to your computer.
[02:20] <theneonshadow> Baino: how much junk does it install
[02:20] <_jason> !automatix
[02:20] <ubotu> I guess automatix is messy, breaks all sorts of security guidelines, and is not open to improvement. In short: DO NOT USE IT!
[02:20] <Baino> whatever you want it to, you can select it
[02:20] <navarone> !automatix
[02:20] <theneonshadow> baino: i mean, its not gonna like flood a 40 gig hd will it?
[02:20] <poningru> theneonshadow: instead use easyubuntu
[02:21] <zenmaster> iKernel, I'm not behind a router. I'm directly to the internet. And unless the default install of ubuntu comes with a firewall I don't have one setup.
[02:21] <mianiak> is thee a way i can dual boot w/ ubuntu and winxp and share the main
[02:21] <mianiak>                  email folder. so no matter what os i am on at the time i can check my
[02:21] <poningru> theneonshadow: do not use automatix
[02:21] <mianiak>                  email and store it all in the same place, i use thunderbird on winxp.
[02:21] <theneonshadow> poningru: alright..
[02:21] <poningru> theneonshadow: easyubuntu gives you choice
[02:21] <zenmaster> iKernel, BitTorrent is working fine, but I Have a private site that won't let me use it.
[02:21] <theneonshadow> poningru: ahhh thats what i wanted to hear!
[02:21] <BurgerMann> I've got a .deb package file but don't know how to install it. When I double click it's opened in Ark! :S
[02:21] <Baino> you can pick what you want to install, so no...it will just get packages for various things and set it up, if it's messy I don't know, but I'm sure it wouldn't be to bad just installign frostwire that way, if you're having issues with limewire
[02:22] <kirtis> BurgerMann: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[02:22] <medgno> if it takes me more than 30 hops to get to a host, is there any way to still connect to it?
[02:22] <gordonau> hi guys, how do you get apt-get to force a certain version? thanks
[02:22] <BurgerMann> kirtis: thx
[02:22] <BurgerMann> kirtis: I should remember that ;)
[02:22] <zenmaster> And the other thing thats wierd. Is I used synaptic to install apache2. And now I can't get apache2 to start. No matter what I do.
[02:22] <navarone> mianik...not likely if mailbox is on ntfs and ubuntu cannot write safely to it...or on ubuntu and windows does not recognize the partition in order to access inbox...etc
[02:22] <poningru> !apache
[02:22] <ubotu> apache is, like, totally, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP or, for Ubuntu server information, http://www.ubuntulinux.org/support/documentation/faq/installation-custom
[02:22] <zenmaster> The error log does'nt say anything.
[02:22] <mianiak> navarone:  ok , thanx, what if it was on fat?
[02:23] <ubuntu_> when i try to install grub via terminal with live cd..
[02:23] <ubuntu_> i get this error
[02:23] <navarone> mianik...possibly...but I have never tried...maybe someone else would know
[02:23] <ubuntu_> /dev/mapper/casper-snapshot does not have any corresponding BIOS drive.
[02:23] <ubuntu_> what does that mean?
[02:23] <mianiak> ok
[02:23] <PuMpErNiCkLe> medgno: Not if you'ree still using igrp. ;p
[02:23] <ubuntu_> can anyone help?
[02:23] <ubuntu_> please?
[02:24] <theneonshadow> uhh wheres a good place to get easyubuntu

[02:24] <allan_> hey, can anyone here get sound working on the game frozen bubble?
[02:24] <tag> I'm opening ion in an Xnest server, I used to use gnome-terminal inside of it but I wanted the more traditional XTerm font because it's easier on my eyes than any of the truetypes.  But when I open a normal xterm inside it, it doesn't get the right size, and vim/top/other ncurses apps don't use the full height of the window.
[02:24] <ubuntu_> i ran install last night...
[02:24] <ubuntu_> it went to the grun install
[02:25] <ubuntu_> and then power went out..
[02:25] <_jason> allan_: yes
[02:25] <ubuntu_> now all i need to do is install grub
[02:25] <tag> I have to resize the window before it gets it right
[02:25] <ubuntu_> can u help me out?
[02:25] <medgno> PuMpErNiCkLe, I have no clue. I'm on my college's internet connection, and figure, if they can, they do it in the worst way
[02:25] <navarone> ubuntu I would reinstall...power outage may have messed up a lot
[02:25] <ubuntu_> i don't want to resstart the installation
[02:25] <ubuntu_> navarone
[02:25] <PuMpErNiCkLe> medgno: lol
[02:25] <gordonau> hi guys, how do you get apt-get to force a certain version? thanks
[02:25] <zenmaster> How does one go about starting bittornado?
[02:25] <ubuntu_> it only interrupted the grun install
[02:25] <ubuntu_> so navarone can u help me out?
[02:26] <medgno> PuMpErNiCkLe, all I can say is, 300Bps sucks arse
[02:26] <_jason> allan_: if you use esd, you probably need to kill it

[02:26] <Misnix-afk> mianiak, it should work on fat, make a backup of your mail before you try

[02:27] <ubuntu_> thtas all i nedd to do
[02:27] <ubuntu_> everything else is on there
[02:27] <allan_> esd?
[02:27] <PuMpErNiCkLe> medgno: That's not a net connection... that's a telegraph O_o
[02:27] <navarone> ubuntu_ the pointis that even if you could install grub you may be left with a corrupted install anyway
[02:28] <_jason> allan_: it's the sound daemon that is enabled by default
[02:28] <ubuntu_> well i would like to try, i an't got any important data on it now
[02:28] <rob> anyone else running Dapper on amd64?
[02:28] <medgno> PuMpErNiCkLe, no kidding. But in a few months, it'll be upgraded to 56kbps. Whee.
[02:28] <navarone> ubuntu_ all the more reason to make sure it is properly installed from the beginning
[02:28] <ubuntu_> navarone.. can u please help me out?
[02:28] <_jason> allan_: it let's you play multiple sounds at once.  But frozen bubble probably doesn't use it, so it can't access the sound card
[02:28] <allan_> ah
[02:28] <_jason> lets*
[02:28] <mianiak> misnix: thanx
[02:28] <allan_> so if i just end its process, i'd be cool?

[02:29] <matteo> salve
[02:29] <ubuntu_> can u tell me how to install grub separatly?
[02:29] <_jason> allan_: if you want you can kill it with 'killall esd', then to run it again after you are done playing, hit ALT+F2 and enter 'esd &'
[02:29] <kirtis> ubuntu_: boot from a live cd, chroot into the filesystem and re-run grub-install. Easy. ;)
[02:30] <ubuntu_> okay can u tell me how to do this , so a newbie can understand this
[02:30] <mianiak> misnix: would i have to make a seperate partition so i can share this email?
[02:30] <F43RY> hi, all. My system suddently stopped open .png files with any program. Can someone help me?
[02:30] <misnix> mianiak, I have my thunderbird mail dir on a sun solaris machine, exported to unix/linux using nfs, exporting to windows using samba
[02:30] <theneonshadow> ubotu: tell theneonshadow about limewire
[02:30] <allan_> thank you
[02:30] <navarone> kirtis...the point I am trying to make with him is that because he had a power failure during the install he should consider seriously reinstalling
[02:30] <rob> kirtis: i understood what you said and thought that sounded a little difficult for a guy who hasnt figured out how to change his nick from ubuntu
[02:30] <kirtis> It was slightly sarcastic.  He's going to have a hard time no matter what he does.
[02:30] <mianiak> misnix: does that work with dual boot?
[02:31] <ubuntu_> navarone... can u tell me how to do it step by step please? for anewbie?
[02:31] <rob> kirtis: keen, your right,  ubuntu_ you dont happen to have a second partition set up that you can just install the operating system on instead do you?  thats what i do whenever i digmyself a six foot hole
[02:31] <misnix> mianiak, a seperate partition woks best
[02:31] <vb_coder> wine says i need an active x control can anyone help?
[02:31] <navarone> ubuntu_ he have no data to lose...if anything is even still there...and it will take me more time to explain to you the process than it will take to reinstall. That is what I have been trying to tell you
[02:32] <mianiak> misnix: thanx, i will give it a go,
[02:32] <juan_> hi... somebody's here
[02:32] <Nexact> Hey all, I've just installed a fresh ubuntu with GCC-4.0... I want to compile a program but I need stdlib.h/stdio.h ... where can I get these files? thanks
[02:32] <F43RY> please, help. My system doesn't open .png files
[02:32] <ubuntu_> how do i run grub install via live cd?
[02:32] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Nexact: You should install the 'build-essential' package.
[02:33] <misnix> mianiak, using fat on the one machine should work fine with dual boot
[02:33] <ubuntu_> can anyone just tell me please?
[02:34] <rob> ubuntu_: i have no idea, and figureing it out would take most users quite a bit of time and be unsuported and difficult.  are you sure you cant just re-install somehow?
[02:34] <ubuntu_> i really don't want to reinstall for how long it takes
[02:34] <mianiak> misnix: ok
[02:34] <ubuntu_> and i don't got any data to lose
[02:34] <navarone> ubuntu do "sudo fdisk -l" and see if anything is still there I dunno if you need sudo on live cd though
[02:34] <armosfighter> still need help with installing windows...
[02:34] <armosfighter> i have an hp pavilion
[02:34] <armosfighter> so it has a thing for it
[02:34] <armosfighter> the commands arent working

[02:35] <armosfighter> yes
[02:35] <liable> armosfighter: boot from it, run fixmbr
[02:35] <misnix> mianiak, actually I think there's a howto on the thunderbird website
[02:35] <armosfighter> and how do i boot from it
[02:35] <rob> ubuntu_ j if you dont know what sudo fdisk -l does, you need to just re-install
[02:35] <Nexact> Hey all, I've just installed a fresh ubuntu with GCC-4.0... I want to compile a program but I need stdlib.h/stdio.h ... where can I get these files? thanks (my net crashed sorry for repeat)
[02:35] <armosfighter> change the boot priority thing so cd is first
[02:35] <armosfighter> ?
[02:35] <theneonshadow> how do i unpack a zip file
[02:35] <liable> armosfighter: the same way you booteed the ubuntu cd to install ubuntu
[02:36] <navarone> ty rob ty
[02:36] <liable> unzip
[02:36] <armosfighter> when i press del nothing happens
[02:36] <armosfighter> it just goes on to installing ubuntu
[02:36] <_jason> theneonshadow: accessories -> archive manager, or unzip like liable said
[02:36] <theneonshadow> ah nvm i got it to work, i guess i just had to do it twice
[02:36] <grew> what is the package that contains the microsoft fonts?
[02:36] <navarone> armosfighter, I thought you wanted ubuntu?
[02:36] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Nexact: You should install the 'build-essential' package.
[02:36] <armosfighter> not anymore because of my dvd drive
[02:36] <liable> armosfighter: try f8, f12, esc whatever, should tell you what key to press when the thing turns on.
[02:36] <theneonshadow> _jason: i got it it just didnt work the first time for some reason
[02:37] <armosfighter> k
[02:37] <navarone> armosfighter, then maybe put windows cd in drive...?
[02:37] <_jason> theneonshadow: yeah, I've noticed that behavior as well... :/
[02:37] <armosfighter> k

[02:38] <PuMpErNiCkLe> mark_: hm
[02:38] <_jason> theneonshadow: it works fine if you right click and hit 'extract here' or if you press the 'extract to' button in the archive manager isntead of dragging
[02:39] <navarone> F43RY, search for libpng in synaptic and install  "12" I think will work

[02:39] <_jason> adsadasd: welcome to ubuntu, let us know what they are and we can try to help you

[02:42] <rob> Danial: so when your firewall is not on you cant connect to chats?
[02:42] <grew> Xappe: i have universe and multiverse and restricted setup in my sources.list, yet i cant find that package
[02:42] <navarone> F43RY, are you getting any error messages?
[02:42] <grew> also, does anyone know where the firefox icon gets installed to?
[02:42] <F43RY> no
[02:43] <F43RY> I can't open them from any applications
[02:43] <rob> grew: try searching your harddrive for firefox or mozilla
[02:43] <Danial> rob: yes but its not firewall I think its ISA server or soemthing but when we click on configure it says Microsoft firewall client
[02:43] <grew> rob: theres a /usr/share/pixmaps/firefox.xpm but its not the firefox logo
[02:43] <navarone> grew  /usr/share/pixmaps
[02:43] <F43RY> i'm the owner of the files and perms are 644
[02:44] <F43RY> in a folder 755
[02:44] <rob> grew: do you have a diffrent than normal theme? because some themes override your default icon
[02:44] <grew> rob: no im specifying the icon specifically
[02:44] <rob> Danial: i'm not the best to help you out, i dont know everything your talking about
[02:45] <rob> grew: whats your goal anyway?
[02:45] <Danial> My other question is that in windows we install our local language support which we can use in almost all programs that support unicode. How do I install a similar language bar in ubuntu
[02:45] <chris> how do i change my account to "owner"
[02:45] <_jason> chris: /nick owner
[02:45] <grew> rob: to put the icon in my xfce4 panel
[02:45] <Danial> so that we can switch to local language and english on program to program basis on web etc.
[02:45] <navarone> grew the icon I have is a blue globe like thing...not one with the orange firefox bit
[02:46] <chris> i mean how do i change my username in Ubuntu to "Owner" status
[02:46] <_jason> chris: 'man usermod', I forget the particular option that is needed
[02:46] <chris> ok, thanks _jason
[02:46] <tsume> anyone know if Adesso drawing tablets work with linux?
[02:47] <tsume> specifically the kernel packaged with ubuntu :)
[02:47] <rob> Danial, i know you can change the whole system with the language tools provided in the system settings, but program to program i dont think there is a default program around for that in Gnome.  (Kde i'm just learning,)
[02:47] <navarone> grew try in your home folder "firefox" folder has some in "icons"
[02:47] <whyameye> I'm having troubles with that I think is called openGl ARB. The problem is trying to build Gem which is a graphics library for the Pure Data programming language.
[02:47] <PuMpErNiCkLe> mark_: http://www.timelyweb.com/free/Management_23721s.html Does this look at all like what you need?
[02:47] <grew> navarone: thats what i have too, i want the orange firefox logo
[02:48] <ssstormy> I have trouble with my video card; all my media players cannot use the Xv output driver; only X11 works, and only in MPlayer.
[02:48] <navarone> grew the orange on is in my firefox folder in home. Look in firefox/icons
[02:48] <rob> grew, you could just download if off google, whats the extention on the icon type you want?
[02:48] <Danial> Should  I keep repeating my questions until some one helps me out? Or I should wait pateintly until someone asks me if I need help?
[02:48] <ssstormy> I just get junk in the media player window if I try and use Xv
[02:48] <ssstormy> anyone familiar with this issue?
[02:49] <rob> Danial,  most likely the same people are going to read your question in 1 min as did 5 min ago,  when my questions dont get answered heres what i do:
[02:49] <grew> navarone: you mean /home/firefox/icons?
[02:49] <rob> I leave the xchat running and stop paying attention for a while, then come back in an hour or so and ask my question
[02:49] <nulldrone> hey does anyone know of good account software for linux, ie. a quickbooks clone or something?
[02:49] <navarone> grew yes
[02:50] <rob> danial: but its up to you, i'm sorry i wasnt more help
[02:50] <Danial> rob: Actually I prefer web based support options but they are not very helpful
[02:50] <navarone> grew if not try google image search for firefox icon png
[02:50] <rob> grew: spreadfirefox ought to have a cache of icons somewhere on their page too :)
[02:51] <Danial> 1. My Cable Operator (LAN in my building) uses ISA or microsoft firewall client. When this client is disabled we can not connect to any chat on windows. How do I install such a thing on ubuntu
[02:51] <_jason> grew: I use this one: http://img245.echo.cx/img245/3401/mozicon1282nz.png
[02:52] <grew> _jason: perfect thanks

[02:53] <navarone> _jason that's the one I have in home folder...except it is not "nz"
[02:53] <mcdenyer> i need some help on how to partition my hard drive for ubuntu
[02:53] <Nexact> shredthis = scammer
[02:53] <_jason> navarone: yeah mine isn't nz either, I just found one online that looked like mine
[02:53] <grew> ok, can someone point me in the direction of where the documentation on what main/multiverse/universe is and how to use them?
[02:53] <rob> shredthis: this isnt the best forum for advertising
[02:53] <_jason> ubotu: tell grew about repos
[02:54] <grew> _jason: awesome thanks
[02:54] <rob> can we kick sharedthis?
[02:54] <navarone> _jason normally I'd be worried if I found anything online that looked like mine...;)
[02:55] <MrPockets> i want to burn audio CD. im using gnome baker. i add files, it convets them to "cd format" asks me to insert an audio CD, then fails.
[02:55] <MrPockets> why is this?
[02:55] <drkat> is there a jre package for ubuntu ?
[02:55] <drkat> apt-cache search supplies no results
[02:55] <_jason> ubotu: tell drkat about javadeb
[02:55] <Kyral> !java
[02:55] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[02:55] <drkat> !javadebs
[02:56] <navarone> MrPockets, are you using an external/internal or usb cd-burner
[02:56] <_jason> drkat: ubotu sent you the information
[02:56] <MrPockets> inturnal
[02:56] <drkat> yes I saw that
[02:56] <armosfighter> ...
[02:56] <shredthis> jason  cant message you :/
[02:56] <MrPockets> its a 52X cd burner, what speed should i set for it navarone ?
[02:57] <drkat> I did multiverse in the respos
[02:57] <armosfighter> can i just get a boot disk
[02:57] <drkat> however I cannot find the package name
[02:57] <armosfighter> from microsoft?
[02:57] <armosfighter> and then put in my xp cd
[02:57] <armosfighter> ?
[02:57] <_jason> shredthis: you need to be registered to msg
[02:57] <MrPockets> and should i chose the Eject Disk option?
[02:57] <navarone> MrPockets, if you place a blank cd in drive and then go thru process when windows pops up asking what to do...will it work?
[02:57] <shredthis> jason  can you get on msn or aim or yahoo
[02:57] <_jason> shredthis: why?
[02:57] <mcdenyer> so when partitoning do i have to make a swap
[02:57] <_jason> armosfighter: you can, to do what?
[02:57] <navarone> MrPockets, in my experience I would stick to 8x...sometimes hardware cannot keep up with the throughput of fast drives
[02:57] <MrPockets> im not sure waht your asking. when i place a blank in the drive i get a window titled "CD/DVD creator"
[02:57] <CanadianSnow> hey people
[02:58] <armosfighter> im trying to install windows xp small buisness edition
[02:58] <rob> shredthis: your not a bot?  (surprised look on face)
[02:58] <armosfighter> and get rid of ubuntu
[02:58] <armosfighter> but im having one hell of a time doing it
[02:58] <shredthis> jason  can you get on msn or aim or yahoo
[02:58] <sambagirl> how do you make windows see ubuntu? ubuntu sees windows but not the other way.
[02:58] <rob> armosfighter: hehe irony is fun
[02:59] <sambagirl> does bob2 still work here?
[02:59] <navarone> armosfighter, maybe you can go thru the ubuntu install as far as formating disk and format into fat32...? Maybe drive is now linux filesystem and it confuses windows installer
[02:59] <rob> Microsoft does not want Windows to recongnize other operating systems, hurst the monopoly,
[02:59] <_jason> sambagirl: what do you meann by see?  in a dual boot scenario?
[02:59] <armosfighter> lol so get ubuntu to erase everythign and then pop in the windows cd
[02:59] <armosfighter> ?
[02:59] <CanadianSnow> hi sambagirl
[03:00] <MrPockets> sambagirl, gotta add Ubuntu to the Windows boot loader
[03:00] <armosfighter> would that work
[03:00] <armosfighter> lol
[03:00] <sambagirl> i want to be able to go on my ubuntu computer from upstairs, i move it downstairs to share with friends. see?
[03:00] <Danial> 1. My Cable Operator (LAN in my building) uses ISA or microsoft firewall client. When this client is disabled we can not connect to any chat on windows. How do I install such a thing on ubuntu
[03:00] <sambagirl> but i want to be able to see on that computer things too .
[03:00] <sambagirl> chao
[03:00] <navarone> armosfighter, maybe so...if previous attempt to install ubuntu formatted the drive as ext2/3 then windows may have troubles
[03:00] <armosfighter> kk its a crazy idea but i love crazy ideas
[03:01] <armosfighter> ill be back if i have problems!
[03:01] <sambagirl> so you cannot see ubuntu on windows computer. ok.
[03:01] <sambagirl> does bob2 still work here?
[03:01] <CanadianSnow> donno
[03:01] <_jason> I don't think anyone works here
[03:01] <CanadianSnow> who will help me with my old-ass computer?
[03:01] <CanadianSnow> its an IBM 300CL
[03:01] <navarone> Danial...ubuntu has a firewall...iptables...you can install firestarter which is a gui to configure the firewall. I would then block ports that chat clients/networks use ie 6667 range
[03:01] <drkat> hmm. /var/cache/apt/archives/partial is missing. any suggestions
[03:02] <rob> Danial: you could ask the people in the Debian chatrooms(their generally fairly smart but rude, so dont tell them your running ubuntu, they get angry)
[03:02] <sambagirl> so you cannot see ubuntu computer from windows, that is final answer?
[03:02] <CanadianSnow> probably sam
[03:02] <_jason> drkat: how did you come to the conclusion it was missing?  I have it, but it is an empty folder
[03:02] <CanadianSnow> who wants 2 help me with sound detection?
[03:03] <drkat> apt told me
[03:03] <drkat> lol
[03:03] <sambagirl> you  cannot hear sound canadiansnow?
[03:03] <twan> Hello
[03:03] <twan> I'm having trouble with the license agreement
[03:03] <twan> I only have the options of 'Cancel' and 'close'
[03:03] <twan> when trying to install java
[03:03] <twan> Well
[03:03] <navarone> I hope armos figures out how to abort install after formatting...<s>
[03:03] <twan> #1 - I have renamed the file
[03:03] <_jason> !enter
[03:03] <ubotu> please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying. Write in complete sentences and keep your replies and questions on one line if possible. Thanks!
[03:04] <twan> Would that cause this?
[03:04] <drkat> i fixed it
[03:04] <sambagirl> thanks
[03:04] <_jason> drkat: what did you do for future reference
[03:04] <rob> twan, try scrolling down
[03:04] <drkat> just re-created it
[03:04] <twan> I have heh
[03:04] <drkat> i deleted it by accident
[03:04] <CanadianSnow> someone say CanadianSnow please
[03:04] <twan> It just says --More--
[03:04] <Danial> navarone: how do I install this program you mentioned on ubuntu?
[03:05] <_jason> drkat: oh ok.  Mine is owned by root and has file permissions 755 if you want to make sure yours is the same
[03:05] <CanadianSnow> !enter?
[03:05] <grew> ARGHH
[03:05] <ubotu> please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying. Write in complete sentences and keep your replies and questions on one line if possible. Thanks!
[03:05] <rob> Danial: synaptic, you know how to use it?
[03:05] <navarone> Danial you can use synaptic...just search for firestarter or sudo apt-get install firestarter
[03:05] <CanadianSnow> !bot
[03:05] <ubotu> Yep, that's me! I'm a bot alright. Read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage to find out how to use me. Do NOT play with me in any channel.
[03:05] <grew> now i cant connec to archive.ubuntu.com
[03:05] <poningru> do we include gparted in the live cd?
[03:05] <grew> there we go
[03:05] <CanadianSnow> hello
[03:05] <Nexact> Where's supposed to go the usb device if I plug my mouse? I know it's /proc/bus/usb/001/024 .. but I want to know where's the device in /dev/
[03:05] <CanadianSnow> !ubotu tell CanadianSnow about yourself
[03:05] <navarone> poningru i think qtparted...but I have not used the live cd
[03:05] <twan> does anyone know why this would happen or if it has happened before (i have the file renamed
[03:06] <_jason> poningru: yes
[03:06] <CanadianSnow> uh
[03:06] <navarone> poningru possibly both...?
[03:06] <poningru> awesome
[03:06] <twan> How can I access the terminal?
[03:06] <CanadianSnow> !ubotu tell !all about yourself
[03:06] <_jason> twan: applications menu -> accessories -> terminal
[03:06] <poningru> is it possible to make the live cd just terminal?
[03:07] <twan> There is no accessories
[03:07] <rob> i have what is perhaps a dumb question, whats SMP?
[03:07] <twan> ok
[03:07] <twan> I found it
[03:07] <twan> now how do I exit out of the terminal
[03:07] <rob> is it when you have 2 or more processors?
[03:07] <navarone> rob refers to puters with multiple processors
[03:07] <Nexact> rob, Symetric Multiprocessing
[03:07] <twan> Becuase last time it was stuck on that black screen
[03:07] <_jason> twan: either press the X, or type 'exit'
[03:07] <rob> thanks guys
[03:07] <twan> thanks
[03:08] <CanadianSnow> so
[03:08] <twan> YES
[03:08] <twan> thanks
[03:08] <mcdenyer> for a newb should i set up my main partition for ubuntu as a Primary ext3 journaling... with a / mount point???
[03:08] <CanadianSnow> how do i know what my soundcard is?
[03:08] <twan> its working
[03:09] <Nexact> CanadianSnow, dmesg
[03:09] <mcdenyer> for a newb should i set up my main partition for ubuntu as a Primary ext3 journaling... with a / mount point???
[03:09] <navarone> CanadianSnow, try "lspci | grep audio" in termianl
[03:09] <CanadianSnow> navarone, that does not work
[03:09] <thingfish> misfit_toy: are you watching?
[03:09] <navarone> no?
[03:09] <sethk> mcdenyer, sure.
[03:09] <CanadianSnow> nope
[03:09] <CanadianSnow> it doesn;t do anything
[03:09] <thingfish> that was a good movie.
[03:10] <sethk> mcdenyer, I've been using it for 15 years and that's how mine is
[03:10] <twan> should I get the linux rpm or the binary
[03:10] <twan> which
[03:10] <sethk> mcdenyer, nothing to do with being a noob
[03:10] <twan> is better
[03:10] <twan> sorry for enter as punctuation
[03:10] <navarone> CanadianSnow, what about multimedia instead of audio?
[03:10] <thingfish> ooh, #debian rules.
[03:10] <CanadianSnow> Nexact what does dmesg do?
[03:10] <Nexact> man dmesg will explain you what it do.
[03:10] <mcdenyer> sethk well when i do the auto partition it sets it up as an ext3 with like a mount point of /media/sda1
[03:10] <thingfish> twan.  this is #ubuntu.  they probably let you use enter in here.
[03:11] <CanadianSnow> navarone, Im not sure, but I dont think it finds anything there either... I shall boot up and try
[03:11] <mcdenyer> sethk so the mount point should be at /
[03:11] <sethk> mcdenyer, it's a machine, so it has to do something stupid
[03:11] <twan> 'su' doesn't let me type in a password
[03:11] <mcdenyer> sethk and it should be primary or logical
[03:11] <twan> the letter does not appear
[03:11] <_jason> ubotu: tell twan about sudo
[03:11] <sethk> mcdenyer, primary
[03:11] <_jason> twan: the letters don't appear, that's a feature
[03:11] <mcdenyer> sethk ok what about the swap thing?
[03:11] <thingfish> aTypical: you get around, boy.
[03:11] <grew> !easysource
[03:11] <ubotu> For an easy to use custom sources.list creator, visit http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[03:11] <sethk> mcdenyer, the automatic partitioning does a logical because then it doesn't have to figure out whether it can  :)
[03:11] <aTypical> Hi, thingfish.
[03:12] <aTypical> Yes, I do. ;-)
[03:12] <thingfish> hehe hi aTypical
[03:12] <sethk> mcdenyer, how much real memory do you have?
[03:12] <mcdenyer> sethk like hard drive space?
[03:12] <thingfish> aTypical: I was thinking I knew you from a certain #f--d--a channel.
[03:12] <navarone> Canadian do you know if you have actual card or is it onboard motherboard?
[03:12] <mcdenyer> sethk well im new to ubutnu and have a big ntfs partition with all my windows stuff on it
[03:12] <sethk> mcdenyer, no, I meant memory
[03:12] <mcdenyer> sethk 1 gig
[03:12] <aTypical> thingfish,  I needed to try something other than Fedora.
[03:13] <sethk> mcdenyer, you can skip the swap, then.  It would be very rare for 1 gig to be insufficient
[03:13] <CanadianSnow> !porn?
[03:13] <ubotu> hmm... porn is at http://yousickbuttface.yourmom
[03:13] <thingfish> hehe aTypical
[03:13] <sethk> mcdenyer, and you can always add temporary swap space in the file system if necessary
[03:13] <aTypical> thingfish, what are you doing here?
[03:13] <aTypical> Aren't you an op in #fedora?
[03:13] <thingfish> aTypical: I got that feeling long about FC3, after having been with red hat/fedora since rh7 something.
[03:13] <torpedo|dog> Hello all.
[03:13] <mcdenyer> sethk ok now when i create the partition i just set it to primary and the amount of space i want it to use and leave the rest how it is?
[03:13] <svu_> what would I do if dapper hangs on 'Detecting and initializing hardware" ?
[03:13] <thingfish> aTypical: haha me? an op in #fedora?
[03:14] <thingfish> aTypical: no, not hardly.
[03:14] <torpedo|dog> I seem to have screwed up my Firefox install.
[03:14] <sethk> mcdenyer, I'm not sure what you mean about leaving the rest the way it is.  Obviously, don't touch your windows partitions unless you want to delete them
[03:14] <aTypical> torpedo|dog, remove it and reinstall.
[03:14] <PuMpErNiCkLe> svu_: File a bug report and not use an alpha-testing release? :)
[03:14] <torpedo|dog> And how would I go about such a task, aTypical?
[03:14] <nx10__> hello, i'm only getting 640x480, i have i810, no errors in xlog what else can i do?
[03:14] <mcdenyer> sethk well when i make the ext3 partition there a bunch of different things i can change
[03:14] <aTypical> apt-get remove firefox?
[03:15] <thingfish> aTypical: I've used debian sarge since about a year ago.
[03:15] <torpedo|dog> aTypical, thanks
[03:15] <mcdenyer> sethk, im asking if i need to change any of those
[03:15] <sethk> mcdenyer, oh, take all the defaults
[03:15] <thingfish> I got tired of bugs.
[03:15] <svu_> PuMpErNiCkLe, good advise:) I would love to use dapper - i do not want to downgrade to breezy:(
[03:15] <mcdenyer> sethk, first it asks me pri or logical then how much space to use and then there a list of stuff i can change
[03:15] <aTypical> thingfish, nice.  I tried Debian, but it didn't like my hardware as much as Ubuntu (at least ACPI).
[03:15] <aTypical> thingfish, I also tried SUSE, but it was too KDE for me. :-)
[03:15] <svu_> what is the official way of upgrading breeze to dapper?
[03:15] <PuMpErNiCkLe> svu_: Me too... I can't wait until April when it goes stable.  It is going to be one seriously sweet release.
[03:15] <sethk> mcdenyer, leave everything as is, choose primary, and of course the amount of space you want to use.
[03:15] <mcdenyer> sethk, ok thank you very much for the help man
[03:15] <poningru> how do you turn off the desktop in the livecd?
[03:16] <svu_> PuMpErNiCkLe, do you use it now?
[03:16] <mcdenyer> sethk be back in a bit
[03:16] <poningru> I just want a terminal
[03:16] <geargolem> whats a good proggie for mixing audio and video?
[03:16] <poningru> well
[03:16] <PuMpErNiCkLe> svu_: No, but I'm thinking of trying it on a spare HDD I have.
[03:16] <sethk> poningru, you can do init 1
[03:16] <poningru> oh
[03:16] <poningru> ok
[03:16] <grew> hmm
[03:16] <thingfish> aTypical: oh I believe that.  Debian tends to like somewhat oldish hardware.  You have new computer gear?  I do hear Ubuntu handles new hardware on a peer with Fedora.
[03:16] <CanadianSnow> so
[03:16] <svu_> PuMpErNiCkLe, well, I do not have spare hdd in my G5 - so now that I upgraded - I cannot boot :~((((
[03:17] <CanadianSnow> navarone, what was it you told me 2 try?
[03:17] <grew> is there something i need to do to tell ubuntu to use the universe/multiverse packages over the stable ones?
[03:17] <aTypical> thingfish, yeah, it's a newer laptop.
[03:17] <grew> im assuming thats where things like firefox 1.5 live
[03:17] <_jason> grew: there is no package for firefox 1.5
[03:17] <amicrawler> so ubuntu is a deb distro ?
[03:18] <thingfish> aTypical: well sure, then.  new hardware requires either fedora or ubuntu, or perhaps debian sid if one is up to it.
[03:18] <navarone> Canadiansnow I said "lspci | grep audio multimedia" < - - audio works for me
[03:18] <grew> _jason: that sucks, any particular reason why?
[03:18] <CanadianSnow> navarone, k...
[03:18] <navarone> CanadianSnow, is sound an actual card or onboard?
[03:18] <aTypical> thingfish, sid isn't up to the challenge.
[03:18] <CanadianSnow> I dont think the net's working on ubuntu?
[03:18] <_jason> grew: because ubuntu releases a stable distribution every 6 months and only provides security updates in between.  There are 'backports' but firefox1.5 causes too many problems
[03:19] <CanadianSnow> navarone, its an actual card
[03:19] <navarone> CanadianSnow, what brand?
[03:19] <Andrew[CS] > oh, nm
[03:19] <thingfish> aTypical: can't say I'm surprised.  sarge is such a good fit for me only because I have about 1.5 year old hardware.
[03:19] <rob> grew: using dapper drake (which gnome seems to be broken on right now) seems to be the only way to run firefox 1.5 without installing it by hand
[03:19] <CanadianSnow> navarone, I have no clue, its inside an IBM 300CL
[03:19] <_jason> grew: if you really need firefox1.5 you can install it, there are isntructions on the wiki.  Just do:  /msg ubotu firefox1.5
[03:19] <CanadianSnow> brb
[03:19] <Andrew[CS] > I=CanadianSnow
[03:20] <navarone> CanadianSnow,  it is probably an isa card not pci
[03:20] <CanadianSnow> there?
[03:20] <aTypical> thingfish, I still have Fedora (core 2) on a box at work and it's rock solid.  I'll keep Ubuntu on my laptop and SUSE on my desktop.  Gotta love the flavors of Linux. :-)
[03:20] <CanadianSnow> ok whats isa?
[03:20] <thingfish> hehe I guess, aTypical - I mean competition is good for us all, right?
[03:21] <aTypical> CanadianSnow, industry standard architecture.
[03:21] <aTypical> thingfish, amen to that.
[03:21] <CanadianSnow> oh
[03:21] <samwiser> hey peoples does anyone know how to extract winrar files in ubuntu? I am a bit of a newbie....
[03:21] <haasteem> hi, i was wondering if someone could help me out with a problem i have with my internet connection?
[03:21] <rob> anyone here familiar with konquoror? I would like to know if someone can help me change middle click functionality
[03:21] <CanadianSnow> so i type lscpi?
[03:21] <PuMpErNiCkLe> CanadianSnow: It's like PCI, only less common.
[03:21] <aTypical> CanadianSnow, it's an older architecture.  If you open your box the ISA are long dark brown slots.  They're about 1/3 as long as a PCI slot.
[03:21] <PuMpErNiCkLe> CanadianSnow: And different.
[03:21] <CanadianSnow> ok thanks guys
[03:21] <rob> samwiser: you have to install the rar package from multiverse/universe
[03:21] <_jason> samwiser: install unrar-nonfree from multiverse and then you can use the file roller (the thing that opens when you double click on them)
[03:22] <amicrawler> samwirer get the pkg
[03:22] <aTypical> CanadianSnow, more than you wanted to know, huh? ;-)
[03:22] <samwiser> thanks rob, jason and amicrawler
[03:22] <CanadianSnow> no the slots are black
[03:22] <CanadianSnow> no not really
[03:22] <samwiser> :) man this is a great chat thanks for your help
[03:22] <CanadianSnow> every bit helps
[03:22] <rob> any kubuntu people out there who know how to change middle click functionality with konquoror?
[03:22] <navarone> CanadianSnow,  if it is a sb16 try this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86139
[03:23] <CanadianSnow> uhhhh sb16?
[03:23] <Snoopy>  hi - i just started using ubuntu in the vmware player
[03:23] <Snoopy> i have a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 and when I go to change the resolution
[03:23] <haasteem> i can connect to my isp and it seems to connect to the internet (when i ping www.google.com i get fast response)... however, when i start firefox (or thunderbird, xchat, gaim, etc.) i can't seem to connect
[03:23] <CanadianSnow> and what did u want me to type now that i have terminal open? sorry navarone
[03:23] <haasteem> what is the problem?
[03:23] <Snoopy> to 800 x 600, the screen goes all fuzzy
[03:23] <amicrawler> sam i'v been a long time suse user
[03:23] <rob> awesome i figured it out
[03:24] <Snoopy> where do i go to specify the video card settings
[03:24] <sethk> haasteem, no idea, you need to provide more data than that.  Try running traceroute.  Check your routing tables.  Make sure you don't have IP filter rules blocking traffic
[03:24] <haasteem> what i'vew noticed is that there are no ip addresses assigned to eth0
[03:24] <varsendagger> hasteem i changed the /etc/resolve.config form whatever to nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:24] <haasteem> sethk: what other data would you need?
[03:24] <navarone> CanadianSnow, try these threads http://archives.free.net.ph/message/20060111.093930.93f4c701.en.html   and   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=86139 but would be helpful to know what card it actually is. The first thread is for sbawe and the second for sb16
[03:24] <ubuntu> anyone know the default ssh port
[03:25] <ubuntu> i forgot it
[03:25] <_jason> ubuntu: 22
[03:25] <ubuntu> thanks
[03:25] <CanadianSnow> the only rez i can select are : 800x600 or 640x480
[03:25] <sethk> haasteem, the routing table, any filtering rules in effect, and a traceroute to a site that fails with firefox
[03:25] <SEJeff> ubuntu, if you want to know a default port of a common service, grep the name in /etc/services. Try "grep ssh /etc/services" and it will tell you 22
[03:25] <navarone> CanadianSnow, you computer is geriatric...don't push it too hard it might break a hip
[03:26] <haasteem> sethk: sethk, i get the routing table with route -n?
[03:26] <sethk> haasteem, yes, that shows the current routing table, correct
[03:26] <twan> thanks
[03:26] <twan> figured it out
[03:26] <twan> anyway I can select all in Adept
[03:26] <sethk> haasteem, remember to paste to a paste bot, not to the channel
[03:26] <haasteem> sethk: cool
[03:26] <twan> so I can install everything at once
[03:26] <twan> instead of manually going through each
[03:26] <haasteem> sethk: what about the filtering rules?
[03:26] <SEJeff> haasteem, netstat -r will also show it
[03:27] <twan> or even better, tell me how to get java running in firefox
[03:27] <sethk> haasteem, I believe it is iptables --list, but let me check
[03:27] <twan> it's installed but firefox hasn't detected it.
[03:27] <SEJeff> haasteem, sudo iptables -L
[03:27] <sethk> haasteem, right, -L or --list
[03:27] <humboldt> does anybody know how to troubleshoot nvidia GLX?
[03:27] <haasteem> sethk: ok
[03:28] <navarone> !nvidia
[03:28] <ubotu> nvidia is, like, at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=57368
[03:28] <humboldt> the driver is loaded (X running and logo showing) gut los states GLX not loaded
[03:28] <r3dick> is this the channel where I can ask questions about ubuntu ?
[03:28] <newuser> how can i get my wlan0 co come up. it is installed, but does not come up when i am home.
[03:28] <ARIAN> JOIN/ #UBUNTU-ES
[03:28] <navarone> humboldt, did you install the driver from above?
[03:28] <humboldt> yes
[03:28] <SEJeff> r3dick, yes
[03:28] <ARIAN> join/#ubuntu-es
[03:28] <twan> so getting java running in firefox. I have it installed, what next?
[03:28] <_jason> ARIAN: /join
[03:28] <haasteem> sethk, SEJeff: and a traceroute to a site with traceroute [site] ?
[03:28] <ARIAN> aps
[03:28] <sethk> ARIAN, /join, no spaces, then a space after join
[03:28] <ARIAN> gracias
[03:28] <navarone> humboldt, could you copy and paste your xorg.conf contents to pastebin?
[03:29] <SEJeff> haasteem, yes
[03:29] <haasteem> ok
[03:29] <ubuntu> can you ssh through a terminal?
[03:29] <CanadianSnow> oh... wow...
[03:29] <sethk> ubuntu, you can only ssh through a terminal
[03:29] <CanadianSnow> that second link sure sais alot :p
[03:29] <haasteem> sethk, SEJeff: just a few things before i go to ubuntu (in windoze now, all works fine, btw)
[03:29] <rob> anyone have an idea how to configure two monitors?  (aside from just duplicate displays)
[03:29] <ubuntu> oh lol sorry im newb
[03:29] <CanadianSnow> I dont know how to get into bios???
[03:29] <haasteem> sethk, SEJeff: and a traceroute to a site with traceroute [site] ?
[03:30] <haasteem> oops
[03:30] <ubuntu> sethk: whats the command for using ssh in a terminal?
[03:30] <sethk> ubuntu, ssh
[03:30] <navarone> CanadianSnow, when you boot up press the "del" key or whatever key it mentions to get to setup...then you should be in bios
[03:30] <haasteem> sethk: when i do plog it says PAP authentication failed
[03:31] <r3dick> What is the protocol for using and asking questions with this chat room?
[03:31] <rob> anyone have an idea how to configure xinerama?
[03:31] <navarone> CanadianSnow, I am not familioar with IBM 300's so i cannot say what the exact key is or what to expect as far as the bios is concerned
[03:31] <sethk> haasteem, I think you found your problem, then
[03:31] <Snoopy317> hi - i just started using ubuntu and want to change the desktop resolution from 1024 x 768 to 800 x 600 and when i did the screen appeared all fuzzzy - do i need to change the video card setting ? - any help would be appreciated
[03:31] <sethk> haasteem, but, you said you can talk to your ISP,
[03:31] <haasteem> sethk: when i assign ip addresses to eth0 manually, it still does not work
[03:32] <jbzz_> r3dick:  Just ask your question and see if anyone responds.
[03:32] <sethk> haasteem, if authentication is required, and fails, then I would expect everything else to fail as well
[03:32] <haasteem> sethk: yes, i think so... i can ping to www
[03:32] <haasteem> sethk: it is all kind of strange
[03:32] <CanadianSnow> alright thanks
[03:32] <CanadianSnow> shal be back
[03:33] <sethk> haasteem, I don't use ppp here, so I may not be the best one to help with a ppp problem
[03:33] <sethk> haasteem, but plog is just a diagnostic thing
[03:33] <r3dick> Can anyone tell me where I can get the latest source for the kernel and are there any special compileing instructions.
[03:33] <haasteem> sethk: but i'll go try to get that data now
[03:33] <sethk> haasteem, so possibly all that means is that the diagnostic itself isn't connecting
[03:33] <navarone> I had a ppp problem...but I got Depends...<s>
[03:33] <haasteem> sethk: alright
[03:34] <twan> how can I find out where my firefox is installed
[03:34] <haasteem> sethk: i'll be back in a little while
[03:34] <sethk> navarone, that's why your nick is yellow in xchat
[03:34] <Milk_> hello

[03:34] <Snoopy317> hi - i just started using ubuntu and want to change the desktop resolution from 1024 x 768 to 800 x 600 and when i did the screen appeared all fuzzzy - do i need to change the video card setting ? - any help would be appreciated
[03:34] <Milk_> I'm trying to move my root partition and I need to install grub onto the new drive, I'm booted into live cd and am not sure what I can do outside of booting back to the drive I'm trying to replace
[03:34] <Scott_Help> I'm wondering, how do I connect to the internet via Ubuntu, via ethernet card?
[03:34] <Milk_> can anyone help me?
[03:35] <twan> that just pops up firefox sethk
[03:35] <sethk> Scott_Help, exactly the same way you connect to the internet with an ethernet card and windows
[03:35] <Milk_> Scott_Help, it should set it up for you
[03:35] <sethk> twan, no, it will show you the path to firefox
[03:35] <Scott_Help> Hmm..usually this room isn't so dead.
[03:35] <sethk> twan, it's conceivable it might say  ./firefox
[03:35] <sethk> twan, but it cannot just say firefox
[03:35] <Milk_> anyone?
[03:35] <twan> well
[03:35] <Milk_> or am I stuck with a reinstall *shudder*
[03:35] <twan> i'm lokoing for my plugins directory
[03:36] <twan> so I can enable java
[03:36] <navarone> Scott_Help, luckily you are here ti liven the place up
[03:36] <sethk> twan, that's a totally different question
[03:36] <sethk> twan, that's in the firefox configuration dialog
[03:36] <sethk> twan, you get to that from the firefox menus
[03:36] <Scott_Help> Anyone at all?
[03:36] <Milk_> has anyone ever tried to move a root partition?
[03:36] <tim_> does ubuntu update the amount of free space on the disk in real time?
[03:36] <grew> wtf
[03:36] <twan> k
[03:36] <sethk> twan, I believe it is edit/preferences
[03:36] <navarone> Scott you question was answered
[03:36] <Milk_> tim_, what do you mean?
[03:37] <grew> when i attempt to reattach a screen over ssh from ubuntu it disconnects me from the server
[03:37] <twan> um sethk
[03:37] <twan> I don't think you understand
[03:37] <twan> I'm looking for the directory of firefox
[03:37] <tim_> Milk_, i just loaded 1.5 gig of files onto my linux partition, and deleted it, but it still says that i have that space occupied
[03:37] <tim_> Milk_, i have 5 gigs before this, loaded files, deleted them, now i have 3.5 gig
[03:37] <twan> so I can find the plugins directory
[03:37] <twan> where does firefox insall?
[03:38] <navarone> twan try your home folder
[03:38] <sethk> twan, I think, actually, that you are confused, because the question is meaningless
[03:38] <twan> thanks navarone
[03:38] <jbzz_> tim_:  Did you empty the 'Trash' bin ?
[03:39] <sethk> twan, you can do   locate firefox-bin,   but that isn't what you want.   I'm still in zombie mode.
[03:43] <lin_n00b> when trying to install any programs i get an error message saying that there is no C or C++ compiler in the $path? can anybody tell me how to fix this
[03:43] <seishi> my downloads on aMule are always 'queued', what can i do?
[03:43] <PuMpErNiCkLe> lin_n00b: run sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:43] <sethk> lin_n00b, install the c/c++ compiler
[03:43] <_jason> lin_n00b: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:43] <sethk> lin_n00b, what _jason said will install it

[03:49] <tag> copy libjavaplugin_oji.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
[03:49] <CanadianSnow> ya so
[03:49] <nalioth> lgc: then fix your permissions in the fstab

[03:54] <Eroick> any ideas?
[03:54] <mcdenyer> _jason ok
[03:54] <karsten> What VT does ubuntu's X run in by default?  7 or other?
[03:54] <mcdenyer> _jason, ok i just installed breezy i have not changed the source list
[03:54] <karsten> Eroick: apt-cache search 'code editor' for a list of candidates.
[03:54] <mcdenyer> _jason i havnt even updated
[03:54] <mcdenyer> _jason i havnt done anything yet
[03:54] <lin_n00b> hey guys, now after i configure and try to make i get both error 1 and error 2 no matter what program i try to install
[03:54] <nalioth> ubotu: tell mcdenyer about msg the bot
[03:54] <sergio_> hi
[03:54] <Eroick> karsten: i want a recomendation
[03:55] <amicrawler> how do i install all arc for deb ?
[03:55] <mcdenyer> i know about the helpful bot  :)
[03:55] <sergio_> does anybody can helpme?, I can't make work my multifuncional hp psc 1210 as scanner
[03:55] <karsten> Eroick: ... Well, you eliminated the two principle candidates.
[03:55] <mcdenyer> _jason so what should i do first update or change source list then update or do the repository
[03:55] <lgc> nalioth, good thing I asked! But does that mean that I won't be able to use Wine to write anything on /windows? Is it better then to use /fake_windows (Wine defaults)?
[03:55] <Eroick> karsten: nano/vim?
[03:55] <karsten> Eroick: Visual Slickedit is a proprietary tool that a lot of folks like.
[03:55] <karsten> Eroick: vim / emacs.
[03:56] <Eroick> karsten: freeness is of the essence
[03:56] <jhayne> elwow
[03:56] <karsten> Eroick: nedit and gedit have some coding support.  As I said:  most people likely use vim/emacs.
[03:56] <jhayne> e;ow
[03:56] <nalioth> lgc: that is what it means
[03:56] <_jason> mcdenyer: doesn't really matter. You can do either.  If you update the sources first, then everything will update
[03:56] <sergio_> does anybody can helpme?, I can't make work my multifuncional hp psc 1210 as scanner
[03:56] <karsten> Eroick: The essence of this problem is that it's yours not mine ;-)

[03:57] <CanadianSnow> YOU GUYS WERE TALKING TO ME A MINUTE AGO
[03:57] <mcdenyer> _jason ok what source list would you suggest
[03:57] <Eroick> karsten: does vim have support for doing fancy macros? Like textmate for mac?
[03:57] <twan> ok
[03:57] <nalioth> CanadianSnow: watch the capslock, please
[03:57] <mcdenyer> _jason and plz dont link me to source o matic
[03:57] <karsten> Eroick: Sure.  They're called sed scripts ;-)
[03:57] <nalioth> lgc: use the /fake_windows thing you mentioned

[03:59] <karsten> Eroick: You can mark lines with the ' key.  So: 'a <move> 'b sets the marks 'a' and 'b'.  You can then do stuff (move, copy, pipe, etc.) on those marks.
