[11:49] <a2xm> deFrysk: the weird about it is: on Add/Remove Programs it should be others applications there already checked mark.
[11:49] <kargath64> what's a 686
[11:49] <nrdb> Habblo: if you use ifconfig to set a static IP can you ping your DHCP server
[11:50] <jbond00747> Shinaku: xorg.conf has the higher resolutions listed
[11:50] <Flannel> msikma: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[11:50] <jbond00747> however the gui only lists 640x480 and 800x600
[11:50] <msikma> Thanks, Flannel.
[11:50] <Flannel> msikma: lots of alternatives for you to weigh
[11:50] <Shinaku> have you restarted X since you updated xorg.conf?
[11:50] <jbond00747> Shinaku: I've rebooted
[11:50] <Shinaku> right
[11:50] <Shinaku> I don't know then =)
[11:51] <jbond00747> I'm pretty sure this card will at least do 1024x768, possibly higher
[11:51] <ek0> jbond00747: try pressing ctrl-alt with + or -
[11:51] <Shinaku> ek0, that doesn't woek for me at all
[11:51] <Shinaku> I was about to suggest that
[11:51] <Shinaku> *work
[11:51] <jbond00747> that seems to cycle me between the two options the GUI shows
[11:52] <ek0> Shinaku: used to work before.. i dunno 'bout now
[11:52] <a2xm> deFrysk: my ubuntu-desktop already the newest version
[11:53] <mkns> ek0 - that doesn't work for me either (not that I want to change my resolution, mind you)
[11:53] <ek0> mkns: Shinaku it just worked for me here :P
[11:53] <Shinaku> haha
[11:53] <Shinaku> fair enough
[11:54] <mkns> ek0: fair enough
[11:54] <ek0> and it just gave me a solution to my problem !
[11:54] <ek0> :P
[11:54] <kargath64> also, if I don't want to use any live cd stuff, is the alternate cd better to install from?
[11:54] <Flannel> kargath64: er,if you dont want to start a liveCD, then it's all you can install from
[11:55] <jbond00747> kargath64: From what I know, the result of either installer is basically the same...the alternative cd just lets you use LVM, software raid, and a few things like that
[11:55] <trafiq> hey i have problem after compiling kernel 2.6.17 when i run PC i have "kernel direct mapping up to ..." :/
[11:55] <Flannel> kargath64: oh, I see.  Yeah, if youre solely installing, grab the liveCD, starts you into an installer, no need to wait for it to boot, etc.
[11:55] <Shinaku> so, no one knows anything about TV tuners? ^_^
[11:56] <stefg> Shinaku: analog or DVB ones?
[11:56] <Ramunas> Shinaku: i just got mine last week, just installed tvtime and it worked
[11:56] <Shinaku> analog
[11:56] <Shinaku> it worked on my last ubuntu install, 5.10
[11:56] <vodex> Hiya, computing expert but linux newb here -how do I enable sound with a fresh install? I have mboard-based sound but also a PCI card, can't get any sound to work at all
[11:56] <Shinaku> this time, no chance
[11:56] <kargath64> yeah, i just keep hearing about issues with the live cd
[11:57] <johnny> can someone help me configure a wireless connection
[11:57] <Shinaku> heh, digital around here sucks ;)
[11:57] <hoy> !sound
[11:57] <ubotu> If sound is not working, first try system -> prefrences -> multimedia system selector change it to alsa. If you still have problems then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[11:57] <stefg> !wifi > johnny
[11:57] <kargath64> since this is the 1st graphical installer for ubuntu afaik
[11:57] <johnny> my school is right across the street and i want to piggy back on it
[11:57] <Shinaku> but yeah, I just get this strange green screen in the tvtime window
[11:57] <kargath64> !nforce
[11:57] <Dimitrije> Does some one know where to set up where will g++ search for include (header) files?
[11:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about nforce - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:57] <kargath64> !ethernet
[11:57] <ubotu> I know nothing about ethernet - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[11:57] <jbond00747> kargath64: Give it a try and if it doesn't work then try the alternative. I used the alternative CD for my install, but I wanted to be able to use LVM
[11:58] <stefg> Shinaku: it's not about wether there's a vacuum involved, it's simply switched off by the bradcasting company
[11:58] <johnny> stefg, i only have a mobile centrino wireless device
[11:58] <johnny> will i be able to use just that
[11:58] <johnny> or will i need a wireless card
[11:58] <Flannel> kargath64: theres no downside to using the alternate CD, well, except its textbased and not purdy GUI stuff.
[11:58] <vodex> I don't seem to have syatem -> Preferences ubotu
[11:58] <nikin> hy
[11:58] <Shinaku> No, I'm just in a shit signal area :)
[11:58] <Shinaku> We can get one set of channels through DVB-T
[11:58] <stefg> !language
[11:58] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:58] <Flannel> vodex: what version you using?
[11:59] <vodex> Kubuntu 6.0.6
[11:59] <kargath64> i like text installers
[11:59] <Flannel> vodex: ah, that's why.  These instructions are for ubuntu.
[11:59] <trafiq> can sombody help after compile new kernal i have error "kernel direct mapping tables up to 100000000 @ 8000-8000" : /
[11:59] <kargath64> i'm weird like that
[11:59] <Higgy_> hi, i failed to get 915resolution to install - it says something about a dependency on libc6, which appears to already be available on the system
[11:59] <Madpilot> vodex, try #kubuntu for Kubuntu
[11:59] <jbond00747> kargath64: Then use the alternative CD. (As I mentioned they get you to the same result)
[11:59] <kargath64> sure
[11:59] <vodex> I'm in there, got nothing :/
[12:00] <vodex> besdies ubotu says the same advice...
[12:00] <kargath64> i read that there is compatibility issues with some programs if you choose the x64 version of Dapper
[12:00] <kargath64> anyone know about those?
[12:00] <johnny> if you're piggy backing on a wifi connection do you use a wep key?

[12:01] <kevinz> hello, i am playing with key bindings, like "Control_L", etc. I wonder where these symbols are defined. For example, i wish to know what symbol represent the "+" character
[12:02] <nikin> is there any Linux<---->Windows network transfer stuff than SAMBA? i tryed it and it eats up my whole CPU and still doing about 100kbps on LAN
[12:02] <kargath64> !compatibility

[12:02] <jbond00747> kargath64: I've heard there are some issues with openoffice on AMD64/EMT64, don't knwo any more about it
[12:02] <mkns> System - Preferences - Keyboard Shortcuts
[12:02] <dBL> yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[12:02] <kargath64> this bot is a vacuum :(
[12:03] <kargath64> jbond00747:  thanks for that
[12:03] <mkns> kevinz - i'm confused re: your q re: the + character
[12:04] <kargath64> !amd64
[12:04] <ubotu> AMD64 and EMT64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. See http://tinyurl.com/jv6tc for more information.
[12:04] <kevinz> mkns: i type something like "Control_L|+" in "imwheelrc" but it is not working while "Control_L|T" does work
[12:04] <frogzoo> nikin: check your mii settings
[12:05] <void^> kevinz: 'plus'
[12:06] <kevinz> void^: thank you. may i know where is this defined?
[12:06] <void^> kevinz: uh, not sure. i just use xev for these things.
[12:06] <kevinz> void^: i see. thanks
[12:07] <frogzoo> nikin: install 'net-tools' & run 'sudo mii-tool'
[12:08] <kargath64> i just read the page ubuntubotty sent my
[12:08] <kargath64> me
[12:08] <kargath64> and i need i386 for WINE
[12:09] <jbond00747> well it looks like my video card can't do 1024x768 at 24 bit color, so we are going to try doing it at 16 bit color. Thanks for the help.
[12:09] <kargath64> so can i386 install on AMD64?
[12:09] <frogzoo> kargath64: 686 works fine with wine
[12:09] <kargath64> and work?
[12:10] <kargath64> community docs must be old then
[12:10] <srikat> kargath64: yes
[12:10] <frogzoo> kargath64: for the 3rd time, best desktop choice for a64 cpu is the 686 kernel
[12:10] <srikat> frogzoo: is the same as "PC (Intel x86) desktop CD "
[12:11] <srikat> which links to http://ftp.cw.net/pub/linux/ftp.ubuntu.com/releases/6.06/ubuntu-6.06-desktop-i386.iso
[12:11] <kargath64> sorry, my skull is thick and my experience limited
[12:11] <Luna-Tick> Hello again everyone
[12:11] <habblo> How do you blacklist modules in ubuntu?
[12:11] <habblo> !blacklisting modules
[12:11] <ubotu> I know nothing about blacklisting modules - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[12:12] <habblo> supid bot
[12:12] <stefg> !blacklist
[12:12] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add "blacklist modulename" to the end of that list
[12:12] <srikat> kargath64: no question is stupid. I am paying the price for not asking the very same question that you asked now
[12:12] <stefg> stupid habblo :-)
[12:12] <nobody\> how to remove uw-imap ?
[12:12] <nobody\> dpkg: error processing uw-imapd (--remove):
[12:12] <nobody\>  Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
[12:12] <nobody\>  reinstall it before attempting a removal.
[12:12] <srikat> kargath64: I installed 64 bit Ubuntu on my AMD 64 comp and now 'cos of that I can't install Opera
[12:12] <frogzoo> srikat: that will install fine, then you need 2 install linux-686
[12:12] <srikat> kargath64: so am gonna install 32 bit on top of this
[12:12] <ivanowitch> Hello. A simple quiestion: How do you execute a bash script without running it with sh? i.e. like a binary ...
[12:13] <Luna-Tick> ./
[12:13] <nikin> oh yes, and a security q: what is WPA-s cracktime at the moment (128bit)
[12:13] <srikat> frogzoo: IC...will have to see how to install "linux-686" after installing the 32 bit
[12:13] <frogzoo> ivanowitch: put #!/usr/bin/bash     at the top of the script, chmod +x, & then put it in path, or just ./script_name
[12:13] <Luna-Tick> I don't think WPA-PSK is easily broken
[12:13] <Luna-Tick> WEP is well-gone
[12:14] <habblo> !blacklist
[12:14] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add "blacklist modulename" to the end of that list
[12:14] <frogzoo> ivanowitch: that should read #!/bin/bash
[12:14] <ivanowitch> frogzoo, would you elaborate the last part a bit?
[12:14] <srikat> frogzoo: just confirming once again: To ensure max compatibility w/ all the s/w, the best Ubuntu to install on AMD64 is PC (Intel x86) desktop CD followed by linux-686
[12:14] <frogzoo> ivanowitch: if you do 'echo $PATH' that's the path your shell looks for executables
[12:14] <srikat> is that correct?
[12:14] <kargath64> just curious, what does blacklisting a module do?
[12:14] <habblo> blacklits
[12:14] <nikin> i know about the 15 minutes wep can stand, i use WPA.. (after some atacks :[ ) not yet broken, but i want to know how frequent i have to change the password
[12:14] <ivanowitch> ok, thanks :)
[12:15] <vigilante_> I can't find SMART in the repos, anybody know where it is?
[12:15] <soundray> vigilante_: do you mean smartmontools?
[12:15] <linuxboy> I installed beep-media-player, but it doesn't want to play oggs. It will play mp3s though. an ideas ?
[12:16] <kargath64> linuxboy: that's weird, it should be the other way round
[12:16] <vigilante_> soundray: no, SMART package manager
[12:16] <frederick> are there any programs on ubuntu to trigger highs for people with depression
[12:16] <linuxboy> kargath64: thats what I thought :P
[12:16] <nobody\> can someone tell me how to remove uw-imap because i can't remove it with dpkg -r :/
[12:16] <soundray> vigilante_: oh, smartpm perhaps?
[12:16] <soundray> !info smartpm

[12:18] <linuxboy> kargath64: seen Elephants Dream ?
[12:18] <nikin> Blender is a nice tool, but isnt easy after that some years with MAX
[12:18] <kargath64> don't get me started -_-
[12:18] <Dimitrije> Is it good? I mean at lease close to other well know applications?
[12:18] <Luna-Tick> If you are looking for a really easy way to really help Ubuntu, join the popularity contest. This sends the packages you use to the Ubuntu developers so that they can put the popular ones on the CDs, give them priority when fixing bugs etc. For details on how to configure popcon, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuPopularityContest - we need lots of users, especially "normal" users before it is any use!
[12:18] <srikat> can someone pls confirm my last statement
[12:19] <srikat> [15:44]  <srikat> frogzoo: just confirming once again: To ensure max compatibility w/ all the s/w, the best Ubuntu to install on AMD64 is PC (Intel x86) desktop CD followed by linux-686
[12:19] <soundray> vigilante_: found it with 'apt-cache search package smart'
[12:19] <kargath64> MAX is a nice tool, but isn't easy after some years with blender
[12:19] <kargath64> :p
[12:19] <vigilante_> soundray: yeah, I found it in Adept, I just didn't recognize the name
[12:19] <nikin> sure... its all about what you are used to
[12:19] <Luna-Tick> I thought 64-bit Dapper could run i386 packages

[12:22] <FatB> Hello everybody...
[12:22] <Dimitrije> I am going to install blender, is there support channel for this application?
[12:23] <kargath64> /join #blenderchat
[12:23] <FatB> I'm very newIto ubuntu and I've just a simple question =)
[12:23] <Luna-Tick> Yes?
[12:23] <FatB> I installed yesterday the latest version (dapper)
[12:23] <frederick> can anybody tell me things about c programming
[12:23] <Luna-Tick> This isn't really the place to ask, frederick
[12:24] <FatB> Then I added some programs, Wlan with WPA and VMWare Workstation
[12:24] <esor> could somebody tell me any good repository list? I've found on ubuntuforums but I don't remember where
[12:24] <kargath64> it's a good language, and you'll need to buy a reference book
[12:24] <ardchoille> !easysource
[12:24] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[12:24] <esor> ty
[12:24] <kargath64> !sources.list
[12:24] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[12:24] <FatB> So is it save for me to click "Install all updates"
[12:24] <kargath64> ahhh
[12:24] <Luna-Tick> Probably :)
[12:25] <mkns> do you mean safe?
[12:25] <Luna-Tick> How did you install those programmes
[12:25] <FatB> He wants to get 180MB of Updates and I'm not sure if my system will crash
[12:25] <FatB> I mean safe, yeah
[12:25] <mkns> why would it crash?
[12:25] <Luna-Tick> It shouldn't
[12:25] <mkns> who is "he"?
[12:25] <Luna-Tick> It downloads the updates onto your machine
[12:25] <Luna-Tick> and installs them one by one
[12:25] <Luna-Tick> so it isn't a major as it sounds
[12:25] <frfx> does somebody know some nice little games i can download with apt-get?
[12:25] <flydream> #ubuntu-cn
[12:25] <zcat[1] > any idea how I'd make bootup force the order sound devices get detected? It was working under breezy but now things seem completely random....
[12:26] <Luna-Tick> frfx - go into Applications > Add/Remove and look under Games :)
[12:26] <kargath64> battle for wesnoth
[12:26] <kargath64> in synaptic
[12:26] <FatB> But VMWare Workstation compiled something with the headers for 23er kernel and ubuntu wants to install the 26er one
[12:27] <nikin> what do you mean with "nice little games?" :D
[12:27] <frfx> i know..but maybe somebody knows something nice :)
[12:27] <Luna-Tick> Briquolo is nice
[12:27] <zcat[1] > sorta got it working using /etc/modules but two cards use the ens1371 chipset.. it detects one as /dev/dsp1, then the usb sound device as /dev/dsp2 then the second card as /dev/dsp3
[12:27] <FatB> So will I be able to start vmware after the installation?
[12:27] <zcat[1] > (onboard sound is /dev/dsp)
[12:27] <frfx> games that can run good on older hardware
[12:27] <Luna-Tick> Supertux?
[12:28] <mkns> FatB: probably not, so you probably want to install the headers for 2.6.15-26 as well
[12:28] <move> can someone tell me why something like /usr/games/gnome-same --screen=0 wont work?
[12:28] <mkns> FatB: when you install the new kernel, your old one will still be available for you to choose at bootup time
[12:28] <a2xm> hi all, I've weird menu, on Add/Remove Programs it should be others applications already checked mark on System Tools, in fact there's only one.
[12:28] <FatB> and I will need to reinstall vmware after the update
[12:28] <Luna-Tick> How did you install vmware?
[12:28] <vigilante_> I am looking to install Engage docker, does that come with E16, or is there a seperate download?  I am reading abou it the forums, but no good info yet
[12:28] <Bakemono> hi
[12:28] <mkns> FatB: so if you find things don't work, you can always reboot into the older kernel to fix things
[12:28] <move> hi.
[12:29] <FatB> sure
[12:29] <Luna-Tick> FatB? How did you install Vmware?
[12:29] <mkns> FatB: for example, my wireless card no longer worked when I upgraded the kernel, so I needed to reboot to the older kernel to download a new package, install it and then rebooted back to the new kernel where things now worked
[12:29] <kargath64> frfx: battle for wesnoth is excellent strategy
[12:29] <kargath64> and free
[12:29] <kargath64> ~30MB
[12:30] <FatB> yesterday... with a few beers and the notebok in the bed =)
[12:30] <FatB> @Luna-Tick
[12:30] <kargath64> well, gtg
[12:30] <Luna-Tick> I mean, did you get it from a website, or through synaptic?
[12:30] <kargath64> wish me luck ^^;
[12:30] <FatB> website
[12:31] <FatB> You can download a 30 Day Trial on the official website
[12:31] <FatB> Just download the tar file
[12:31] <nikin> kargath: but dont forget it req a 3D card
[12:31] <Luna-Tick> The player is available through Add/Remove
[12:31] <mkns> vmware server is free, mind you
[12:31] <Luna-Tick> No - I beg your pardon
[12:32] <Luna-Tick> The entry is there but it "is not available in any software channel"
[12:32] <nikin> have luck
[12:32] <msikma> Ohhhhh
[12:32] <msikma> Of course
[12:32] <msikma> 16 MB probably is not enough even for the default 5.10 installer.
[12:32] <msikma> (RAM)
[12:33] <finalbeta> Ubuntu is giving an error, I'm suposed to have a broken packed. I start synaptic to use broken packed filter, I find bmp-docklet is broken with a rubbish description. Can only remove it, not even reinstall.
[12:33] <finalbeta> WWhat does it do?
[12:34] <trafiq> any idea how to fix problem after compiling kernel 2.6.17 "kernel direct mapping tables up to 100000000 @ 8000-8000" ?
[12:34] <Luna-Tick> FatB: If you got it off a website, I couldn't be sure whether it would work or not. As was said, if you upgrade and it doesn't then you can always go back into the old kernel. You are better to upgrade and try and get VM to work, than not to update.
[12:34] <Luna-Tick> Okay, well I'm off - bed time
[12:34] <finalbeta> Hmm, nevermind, I think I know, upgraded to toem xine, must be one of the deskdocklets I don't use anyway.
[12:35] <neutrinomass> trafiq: 2.6.17 kernels shouldn't really be used on Dapper machines because of various compatability issues ....
[12:35] <msikma> I guess it just stops right in the middle of initializing the base system installer because I have 16 MB RAM.
[12:35] <msikma> Oh well!
[12:36] <neutrinomass> msikma: I hope that you were at least trying the alternate cd ....
[12:36] <msikma> I was trying the 5.10 CD which doesn't have the nifty installer.
[12:36] <msikma> And 4.10 as well, same results.
[12:36] <neutrinomass> msikma: Ahh yes..... where was the problem? During booting ?
[12:36] <johlin> Every time I click a link in amsn, it fires up mozilla. How do I make it use firefox instead?
[12:36] <trafiq> neutrinomass,  hm all 2.6.17 have problems? like <IP_ADDRESS> , <IP_ADDRESS> etc?
[12:37] <msikma> Hmm... seems that the last line is [    56.122538]  input: AT Translated Set 2 keyboard on isa0060/serio0
[12:37] <msikma> It's just initializing things.
[12:37] <msikma> Maybe it also does not help that it detected that the processor is 59.990 MHz :-)
[12:37] <neutrinomass> trafiq: Not just 2.6.17. Anything after 2.6.15 because of changes with udev (AFAIK). It was discussed on the ubuntu-devel list a couple of months ago ....
[12:38] <neutrinomass> msikma: I'm quite sure you can install it on that.... give me a sec ....
[12:38] <neutrinomass> msikma: (I have breezy on a P100 with 40MB RAM, but that's a much stronger box than yours :P )
[12:38] <trafiq> neutrinomass,  thx
[12:39] <move> can someone tell me why something like /usr/games/gnome-same --screen=0 wont work?
[12:39] <msikma> I was able to install it on a 400 MHz laptop (6.06) which runs excellent. Then again, that is a rather strong machine with 192 MB RAM.
[12:39] <trafiq> neutrinomass,  what version should i compile?
[12:39] <ompaul> *** what you are about to see *** is a massive ban clear out in about 30 seconds ***  this is not an attack on freenode or anything of the sort but it will flood the channel for a second or two
[12:39] <neutrinomass> trafiq: Why do you want to compile a kernel ?
[12:39] <ompaul> *** what you are about to see *** is a massive ban clear out in about 5 seconds ***
[12:39] <trafiq> neutrinomass,  faster booting and better performance?;) dont know im learning ...
[12:40] <ompaul> back in a couple of seconds
[12:40] <msikma> I didn't see a billion bans being removed yet! Lag?
[12:41] <neutrinomass> msikma: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems ?
[12:41] <msikma> Yeah, I tried the server install, but I guess I'll try fooling around with the boot line first now
[12:41] <ompaul> okay doing that now
[12:42] <neutrinomass> msikma: Then again, you can always do what I did: Put the HD on another computer and install from there. Then swap back the drives :)
[12:42] <n1gke> I could use some help with the libc6 file.
[12:44] <Hit3k> whoa
[12:44] <Hit3k> thats a big ban list
[12:44] <ardchoille> I can just imagine the ban list for this channel
[12:44] <msikma> I guess it's not really viable to install Ubuntu on that computer.
[12:45] <msikma> Well, that's okay. I still have that laptop.
[12:45] <neutrinomass> msikma: All you'd get is a terminal anyway. You might want to try Damn Small Linux (or muLinux or any smaller distro) on it though ...
[12:45] <n1gke> The cwirc program I'm trying to use calls for libc6 2.6.6-0, but my Ubuntu 606lts wont accept it. It wants libc6 >=2.6.6-6
[12:45] <neutrinomass> msikma: Don't expect KDE and Firefox on it, at any rate :P
[12:45] <msikma> I only need a terminal (and the Python interpreter) :)
[12:46] <brad> I can't download anything
[12:46] <msikma> I was gonna use it for testing out Python scripts, but I can still use that laptop for that. Just gotta find a way to prevent the graphical greeter from starting.
[12:46] <neutrinomass> msikma: Well, you might want to try a network install .... maybe that will work but don't take my word for it :-/
[12:46] <nikin> msikma: what do you want to do with it?
[12:46] <nikin> ok i was slow
[12:46] <nikin> :D
[12:47] <msikma> nikin: well, right now I'd like to stop the graphical login from appearing :)
[12:47] <linuxd00d> gaim on windows xp sucks
[12:47] <msikma> I think it's called GDM?
[12:48] <linuxd00d> msikma: do you just want to use virtual console
[12:48] <msikma> Yeah, the interpreter.
[12:48] <frogzoo> i've compiled qemu 0.8.2 - but I have an application which just hangs & cpu goes 100%
[12:49] <linuxd00d> the interpreter
[12:49] <goatpussy> hi guys, i am trying to adjust my xorg.conf to take 1400x1050 as my resolution, but when i startx the computer crashes and i get blank screen
[12:49] <goatpussy> where could i get more detailled error information ?
[12:50] <operativ1> is that for a widescreen setup?
[12:50] <brad> Do you have two graphics cards?
[12:50] <brad> That happened to me
[12:50] <stefg> !fixres
[12:50] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type this in a console: sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  -  To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:50] <linuxd00d> msikma: if you just want to be using the Virtual console when you login or whilst you computer is booting up press CTRL-ALT-F1
[12:50] <stefg> goatpussy: have you read thru the hwto already?
[12:51] <goatpussy> operativ1: no normal setup, only one video card
[12:51] <goatpussy> yeah i did, several times
[12:51] <brad> Anybody else having problem connecting to every repository?
[12:51] <goatpussy> i also tried using the xorg.conf from the linuxlaptop guide
[12:51] <goatpussy> they all give me a blank screen, but no error info
[12:51] <stefg> goatpussy: have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[12:51] <amee2k> hi all
[12:52] <amee2k> i'm on ubuntu desktop 6.06 and did this: http://h0x.net/p/?x=26  -   how can i get these perl docs?
[12:52] <goatpussy> stefg, thats what i did, nothing ther
[12:53] <goatpussy> and the strange thing is, if i use ctrl + alt + backspace, it doesn't even respond anymore
[12:53] <stefg> goatpussy: it might be a dpms problem... what card, what monitor?
[12:54] <Dimitrije> !nvidia
[12:54] <neutrinomass> brad: What sort of problems ?
[12:54] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:54] <GnarusLeo> how do I access my files via bluetooth on a gsm phone?
[12:54] <GnarusLeo> !bluetooth
[12:54] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[12:54] <brad> neutrinomass, It won't let me connect to any repository and before I can try to dl anything it says it's not authenticated
[12:54] <goatpussy> its a laptop monitor, and a geforce 7400 card
[12:54] <bimberi> amee2k: to you have the 'main' repository enabled in your sources.list?
[12:54] <goatpussy> 15inch laptop monitor
[12:55] <stefg> goatpussy: and it's native resolution is 1440x1050?
[12:55] <neutrinomass> brad: What's the error when you try to connect? Is this an expert installation ?
[12:55] <goatpussy> 1400x1050 yes
[12:56] <goatpussy> http://mdessus.free.fr/Divers/Asus_v6j_linux.html
[12:56] <goatpussy> i even tried this xorg.conf, as it is made for this laptop V6J
[12:56] <Dimitrije> Is GeForce FX 5200 legacy?
[12:56] <goatpussy> but still white screen
[12:57] <ompaul> !enter
[12:57] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[12:57] <stefg> goatpussy: hmmm..  do you run the nvidia driver from 'restricted', or do you use nv ?
[12:57] <Arafangion> Why is it that every damn time I upgrade in ubuntu, something bad happens?
[12:57] <amee2k> bimberi: is that "Ubuntu 6.06 LTS (binary)" ?
[12:57] <theshibboleth> How do I go about mounting a usb device if it doesn't automount?
[12:57] <amee2k> (in Software Properties)
[12:57] <Arafangion> This time, I happened to use ATI's drivers, and it broke X11 in the upgrade.
[12:57] <brad> neutrinomass, It's a regular synaptic installation and the error is :Could not download all repository indexes
[12:57] <brad> The repository might be no longer available or could not be contacted because of network problems. If available an older version of the failed index will be used. Otherwise the repository will be ignored. Check your network connection and the correct writing of the repository address in the preferences.
[12:57] <amee2k> (in Software Preferences...)
[12:57] <goatpussy> stefg i tried bot
[12:57] <goatpussy> both
[12:58] <GnarusLeo> how do I access my files via bluetooth on a samsung phone?
[12:58] <bimberi> amee2k: yes, if "Officially supported" shows below that heading
[12:58] <harry> why do i get a message "segmentation fault" when i'm trying to run mplayer
[12:59] <ompaul> harry, you tried to compile it?
[12:59] <neutrinomass> theshibboleth: To begin with, it should be automounting. If it isn't, you should file a bug report. Now, to manually mount it you'll have to do a "sudo mount /dev/sdaX /media/usbdisk" , replacing X with the number at which the USB device is. You may have to create /media/usbdisk ....
[12:59] <harry> ompaul: what do you mean i tried to compile it??
[12:59] <amee2k> bimberi: yeah.
[12:59] <ompaul> harry, did you compile it?
[12:59] <neutrinomass> brad: Use pastebin (see topic) to paste your /etc/apt/sources.list
[12:59] <stefg> goatpussy: I'd try to sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and tell the exact amount of video-memory to it. Also try to disable all other resolutions except 1400x1050
[01:00] <trafiq> neutrinomass,  one question more u say 2.6.17 have problem with dapper, can i compile hm linux-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.bz2  ?
[01:00] <harry> ompaul: how will i know if i had compiled it??
[01:00] <stefg> and disaple dpms,
[01:00] <harry> ompaul: i just runned sudo apt-get install mplayer
[01:00] <ompaul> harry, okay if you can't answer the question you did not compile it
[01:00] <harry> ompaul: and after that i did sudo apt-get install mplayer-fonts
[01:00] <neutrinomass> trafiq: You CAN compile it and it is LIKELY to work flawlessly, but there are high chances that it will not. It's not that you don't stand any chances of getting it to work. Why do you want to compile the new kernel in the first place ?
[01:01] <bimberi> amee2k: hm, try updating the repositories (sudo apt-get update) and retry installing perl-doc
[01:01] <goatpussy> stefg, i tried that before, i'll try again
[01:01] <brad> neutrinomass, I pasted it
[01:01] <trafiq> neutrinomass,  if i compile i should get more performance and little faster system true?
[01:01] <theshibboleth> neutrinomass: well to be fair, I should say that the device is a cell phone. I want to perform file transfers with it, but I don't really know how at all. I looked into some programs that are supposed to work with similar phones, but they don't support my particular model (a Samsung SCH-A850 phone).
[01:01] <harry> ompaul: do i need to compile it?
[01:01] <goatpussy> i think it might have something todo with the auto detection of my monitor
[01:01] <stefg> goatpussy: bottom line: don't trust autodetection... tell the values manually
[01:02] <ompaul> harry, no
[01:02] <harry> ompaul: so whats with segmentation fault message from the terminal??
[01:02] <ompaul> harry, a seg fault is a sign that something is *very* wrong with a program or its environment
[01:02] <goatpussy> stefg, that would be nice if asus provided me with all these values :)
[01:02] <gnomefreak> trafiq: you might but you lose all the updates that ben made to it. so you wont get ubuntu security updates or anything like that
[01:02] <nikin> theshibboleth: what do you want to send? pictures?
[01:02] <stefg> goatpussy: lspci
[01:02] <neutrinomass> trafiq: Not always. You could even get a slower system ;) Or you might get negligible speed benefits. If it's for the speed benefits alone, don't bother... Of course, if you have time on your hands, you might want to do it for the fun of it ;)
[01:03] <theshibboleth> nikin: pictures, ringtones (I'm assuming they're midis), that sort of thing
[01:03] <harry> ompaul: how would you help me with my problem??
[01:03] <neutrinomass> brad: Can you please provide a link ? It should have given you a link after pasteing ....
[01:03] <ompaul> harry, what version is it, to find this out do: sudo apt-cache policy mplayer
[01:03] <amee2k> bimberi: that fixed it. ty :)
[01:03] <frogzoo> trafiq: if your reason for installing a newer kernel is for speed increases, you'd best stick with what you have
[01:03] <trafiq> neutrinomass,  thx for help ;) gnomefreak  too ;)
[01:03] <brad> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19224
[01:03] <ompaul> harry, sorry you don't need sudo to do that
[01:03] <goatpussy> stefg : if i am not mistaking that is limited information ?
[01:04] <neutrinomass> theshibboleth: Ah.... not sure about that. No idea how cell phones interoperate with computers .... at any rate, yes, it should still be a bug report :)
[01:04] <harry> ompaul: thought so. coz i'm using dapper drake
[01:04] <bimberi> amee2k: yw :)
[01:04] <neutrinomass> trafiq: No problem. Feel free to pop in if you have any other questions ....
[01:04] <stefg> goatpussy: at least it will tell you the bus-ID of the graphics adater and give an overview of what's detected
[01:05] <goatpussy> 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation: Unknown device 01d8 (rev a1)
[01:05] <goatpussy> so this means its on PCI:1:0:0 right
[01:05] <stefg> yup... but unknown device is not good
[01:05] <ompaul> harry, that comment does not relate to the issue at hand, you don't need user 0 abilities (those of root) to run apt-cache policy, when you do run that command what version does it tell you is installed?
[01:05] <goatpussy> yeah well i set my xorg.conf back to the default one
[01:06] <neutrinomass> !kernel > trafiq
[01:06] <goatpussy> but what i am missing here is, if this guy on the page already made the xorg.conf for asus V6J, why is it not working with my computer ?
[01:06] <neutrinomass> trafiq: You might find that useful :)
[01:06] <harry> ompaul: Installed: 2:0.99+1.0pre7try2+cvs20060117-0ubuntu8

[01:06] <GStubbs43> Hi everyone, Right now I have 4 partitions on my HD, 10gb for Windows, 8gb for Shared FAT32,  18gb for Linux, and 1.5gb for Swap, can I use a GParted LiveCD and make the FAT32 smaller and ext3 Ubuntu bigger?
[01:06] <theshibboleth> neutrinomass, as it turns out the phone shows up in the Device Manager. It just can't interact with it I guess

[01:07] <stefg> goatpussy: can you ctrl-alt-F1 to a console?
[01:07] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[01:07] <jayson> sorry neutrinomass
[01:07] <ompaul> harry, you did not need to paste all that - please use paste.ubuntu-nl.org in future
[01:07] <goatpussy> stefg nope
[01:07] <ompaul> harry, all I wanted was the verstion :)
[01:08] <goatpussy> would be alot easier if i could
[01:08] <harry> ompaul: ok. wakarimashta
[01:08] <goatpussy> but now i cannot either
[01:08] <neutrinomass> theshibboleth: Not sure mate, sorry. I've never tried connecting a phone.... Maybe try google ? I know topyli (who usually hangs out in #ubuntu-offtopic) was especially proud of getting his phone to work (I think it was a Samsung but can't be too sure ) ....
[01:08] <steveire> does anyone else find themselves often typing ubnutu or ubunut and have to correct it?
[01:08] <neutrinomass> brad: Ok, you're missing a couple of lines from your sources.list

[01:09] <neutrinomass> !easysource > brad
[01:09] <WhiteNinja> harry.. u r sure he understood japanese? *smile
[01:09] <ompaul> harry, that is the latest version, so there is no issue with running that on standard hardware, are you having other issues
[01:09] <harry> ompaul: nope. the system was just freshly installed
[01:09] <stefg> goatpussy: so i'd write a new xorg.conf like mentioned before and see if it changes something. You could even try the driver from nvidia com and build it on your machine, if the one from 'restricted' does not work
[01:09] <neutrinomass> brad: You're missing some lines that refer to Release.gpg .... that will sort out your authentication issue. As to the connection problems, I'm not quite sure....maybe a firewall is up ?
[01:10] <brad> neutrinomass, What lines am I missing?
[01:10] <ompaul> harry, most strange
[01:10] <harry> ompaul: i couldlt see the mplayer on my menu. then i tried to run it on terminal. that was the message i got
[01:10] <neutrinomass> brad: Ooooops, sorry my bad. It's OK .... (you're not missing any lines )
[01:10] <bimberi> jayson: try 'sudo dpkg -r jre'
[01:11] <jayson> ok ill try :)
[01:11] <harry> WhiteNinja: i dont know for sure.  hehehehhe
[01:11] <jayson> hm
[01:11] <ompaul> harry, it should run the same
[01:12] <bimberi> hm?
[01:12] <neutrinomass> brad: Ok, you're missing only one. Try adding 'debhttp://au.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dappermainrestricted' to the top of the file ...
[01:12] <jayson> bimberi check this... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19226
[01:12] <harry> ompaul: i dont know for sure. but i installed the libcvss something". to play DVD's. then i installed mplayer
[01:12] <goatpussy> stefg : thanks for the help, i'll give it a go
[01:13] <vigilante_> Hi all, if interupted during apt-get install, (all dowloaded fine but not installed, how to I continue the install?
[01:13] <linuxd00d> BRB guys, Switching to Ubuntu
[01:13] <harry> ompaul: before running it i installed also  sudo apt-get install mplayer-fonts
[01:13] <stefg> vigilante_: simply issue the command again
[01:13] <WhiteNinja> harry... there is a howto in the wiki... for playing dvd.. even with strange codecs... maybe u r missing some libs or packages
[01:13] <ompaul> harry, that is not an issue
[01:13] <neutrinomass> harry: Programs should never raise segmentation faults. Whenever they do, it's a bug. It would be great if you would file a bug report ....
[01:13] <eitch0000_> how can I make an automatic ubuntu installation?
[01:14] <ompaul> harry, or at least should not be
[01:14] <jayson> i feel really scared haha.. first time i heard linux tell me that something is in very bad state
[01:14] <bbrazil> eitch0000_: define 'automaitc'
[01:14] <neutrinomass> eitch0000_: What do you mean ?
[01:14] <vigilante_> stefg: there are many packages, I originally tried to install them with adept
[01:14] <WhiteNinja> segmentation faults r mostly a hint for a defect hdd... try fschk
[01:15] <ompaul> harry, can you paste the full message in the pastebin (http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org) and throw the url here
[01:15] <bimberi> jayson: I have to say this is new territory for me :/  -  i'm not sure whether you should try to reinstall if you have jre.deb somewhere or just force its removal
[01:15] <bbrazil> WhiteNinja: bad memory actually, although usually it's bad code
[01:15] <harry> WhiteNinja what exactly do i need to type
[01:15] <eitch0000_> just have all settings on a disc, boot from PXE tell the installation where to get the settings and come back in an hour and the installation is over
[01:15] <jayson> haha ok.. thanks guys
[01:15] <eitch0000_> so I don't have to go through the installation...
[01:15] <jayson> im a noob here haha but i think it's my fault
[01:15] <neutrinomass> WhiteNinja: Um... how can a segmentation fault be an HD error? If it's a hardware issue, then my bets would be on an overheated/defective CPU ...
[01:15] <jayson> i did a Ctrl^C while running alien
[01:15] <jayson> ><
[01:15] <jayson> my bad i think
[01:15] <bbrazil> eitch0000_: look into fai.
[01:15] <jayson> then i installed the resultant .deb
[01:15] <eitch0000_> bbrazil: fai?
[01:16] <ompaul> harry, reboot and try the memory tester in the grub menu - press esc as the box it starting
[01:16] <harry> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19227
[01:16] <jayson> i didnt knw i can mess linux this bad.. haha
[01:16] <harry> ok
[01:16] <WhiteNinja> neutrinomass: trust me.. i am always playing with several hdd's in one box, formatting, changing sectors/headers for different os and so on... the most segmentation fault is a "wrong" formatted hdd
[01:16] <bbrazil> eitch0000_: see the fai-* packages. It's for automated installs
[01:17] <neutrinomass> jayson: If you want to mess up Linux, remove libc6 ;) You'll see what real failure looks like (to anybody reading this: Don't do it )
[01:17] <eitch0000_> bbrazil: thx
[01:17] <bbrazil> eitch0000_: that's pretty industrial stuff though
[01:17] <jayson> oh my neutrinomass
[01:17] <jayson> can you tell me the equivalent of that file in windows? :D
[01:17] <ompaul> 6% left in mirror making bbrazil
[01:18] <eitch0000_> bbrazil: thx
[01:18] <brad> neutrinomass, What's the two letter code for usa?
[01:18] <brad> us?
[01:18] <bbrazil> brad: us
[01:18] <bbrazil> jayson: user32.dll
[01:18] <jayson> anyway.. im having a good experience with ubuntu despite this "little" prob
[01:18] <neutrinomass> WhiteNinja: A segmentation fault is an error occurs when you try to address memory not in your address space (ok, my terminology is not good). You don't have access to memory address X, and you try to address it .... how can an HD provoke such behaviour? (Not meaning to be offensive, but I'm interested in an explanation for it .... )
[01:18] <bbrazil> neutrinomass: theoritically if you got bad code from the hdd, it could cause a segfault. Or if the kernel wasn't reseliant enough
[01:18] <trafiq> neutrinomass,  one more q ;) Dapper repo work with 2.6.16 ?
[01:19] <jayson> neutro
[01:19] <jayson> :)
[01:19] <jayson> in my pov its actually accessing ram that's not allocated for your program :)
[01:19] <jayson> ive tried that with link lists haha
[01:20] <WhiteNinja> neutrinomass: because the file is written on a space on the hdd, which is corrupted but not known to the os ... the result is the same as a wrong adress in memory
[01:20] <neutrinomass> trafiq: As I said earlier, anything beyond 2.6.15 is likely to cause issues. Having said that, I've heard of people happily running 2.6.16 on their Dapper boxes :) But no, I don't think you will find a source package for it in the repos.... try www.kernel.org
[01:20] <bimberi> jayson: i don't have any confident advice for you, apart from googling "Package is in a very bad inconsistent state" and see how others got out of it :|
[01:21] <trafiq> okey!:)
[01:21] <jayson> thanks bimberi i appreciate your effort :)
[01:21] <harry> ompaul:what now???
[01:22] <neutrinomass> bbrazil: Yes but 1. HDs remap bad sectors 2. A damaged HD will cause system lockups before anything (because it's talking nonsense to the kernel) 3. Filesystem inconsistencies would be corrected/diagnosed by the filesystem code ... not ?  Still won't work
[01:22] <harry> hello??
[01:23] <neutrinomass> bbrazil: I'm not saying it's not a possibility, but it's a highly unlikely one (then I'm get I'm quite likely to be wrong... )
[01:24] <bbrazil> neutrinomass: 1 yes, but they can only remap so many and it is'nt gaurenteed to catch everything. 2. I'm thinking magnetic media damage, not firmware damage 3. ext3 doesn't do that. Can I interest you in ZFS?
[01:24] <neutrinomass> brad: Did you do a 'sudo apt-get update' ? (or "Reload" in synaptic)
[01:24] <brad> Yeah
[01:24] <brad> When I refresh in synaptic the error is still there
[01:24] <harry> neutrinomass: can i ask you something??
[01:24] <neutrinomass> harry: Well  you just did, so I don't think a second question would be a problem :P
[01:25] <WyldChyld> hey
[01:25] <brad> For all the apt>rpmtalk that goes on i've never had an rpm repository randomly stop working
[01:25] <WyldChyld> any linux live distro for the ps2 out there?
[01:25] <sioux> hi
[01:25] <bbrazil> WyldChyld: check distrowatch.net
[01:25] <WyldChyld> did
[01:26] <WyldChyld> never found any
[01:26] <neutrinomass> bbrazil: Agreed on 1,2 . When my HDs fail, it usually shows up as filesystems ending up corrupt and being checked by ext3 (even without system crashes etc.). I wasn't implying that ext3 has a mechanism for checking whether specific files are corrupt..... I've heard of ZFS which seems to be neat btw ;)
[01:26] <sioux> how I do start swat? I have swat at inetd.conf and service but when I point at localhost:901 it is not reacble :-(
[01:27] <harry> neutrinomass: ubuntu 6.06 was just freshly installed right this day. and i runned the update manager and installed everything. after that my system went wrong. i cant run synaptic with my password. i cant run firestarter. all the icons on m y menu are gone. my mouse sensitivity is too fast. when erasing something i have to press backspace repeatedly
[01:28] <sioux> harry reinstall all
[01:28] <rlj> i have an issue where the left control key on my keyboard has stopped working (does nothing) (works fine in other os's). any ideas?
[01:28] <neutrinomass> harry: Sounds serious .... it happened right after installing the updates ?
[01:28] <harry> neutrinomass: you got that right. right now this is the 4th time i installed ubuntu again. right now. i dont feel like installing all updates
[01:28] <neutrinomass> harry: I take it that you didn't touch your sources.list or anything weird in general ...
[01:28] <linuxd00d> rlj: it may be that ur keyboard isnt on the right configuration
[01:29] <brad> Thanks for the help guys but i'm going back to fedora core
[01:29] <linuxd00d> brad: what fedora are you using
[01:29] <WhiteNinja> harry... have u installed plp-tools?... that was the package that did the same on my box, after deinstalling them (from safe-reboot at console) the box was right again
[01:29] <harry> neutrinomass: i touched it just to install my bunch of applications. i got the source from the source generator
[01:30] <Blackbeard> test
[01:30] <aicra> close
[01:30] <harry> WhiteNinja: no coz i dont know what that was
[01:30] <rlj> linuxd00d, yeah, might be but in that case, it's the fault of some app since i didn't change it manually
[01:30] <linuxd00d> oh right
[01:30] <harry> WhiteNinja: dpkg: ../../src/packages.c:191: process_queue: Assertion `dependtry <= 4' failed.
[01:30] <harry> E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly
[01:30] <linuxd00d> go to system preferences then keyboard
[01:30] <neutrinomass> harry: Are you sure you get sources.list for dapper and not for anything else? (Take a look at /etc/apt/sources.list and see if "dapper" is all over the place.... you don't want "edgy","breezy","hoary" or "warty" )
[01:31] <Blackbeard> hey guys... can anyone tell me if there are any nice online games for ubuntu ?
[01:32] <harry> WhiteNinja: thats the message i got after installing mplayer again just right now
[01:32] <rlj> linuxd00d, the keyboard config in xorg.conf is fine, correct pc105 model and se layout
[01:32] <WhiteNinja> blackbeard: go for the wiki... linux-games... there are lots of hints
[01:32] <rlj> linuxd00d, where's  the default console keyboard config again?
[01:32] <Blackbeard> year i read it @whiteninja
[01:32] <neutrinomass> harry: Generally speaking, you don't really need to mess with sources.list manually - you can add the repos from synaptic (just saying this so that you know in the future ) ...
[01:32] <linuxd00d> blackbeard: www.nexuiz.com
[01:33] <ompaul> harry let it test your ram - if that comes back okay then I would look at the hard drive - however I have to go now
[01:33] <linuxd00d> rlj: i will find out
[01:33] <Blackbeard> thank you linuxd00d i#l have a look
[01:34] <FlangeR> Hi all. Q: I have Ubuntu 5.10 installed, but I'm having repository problems. Synaptic says: (translated) Could not retrieve the status from  http://packages.freecontrib.org breezy/main Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/packages.freecontrib.org_plf_dists_breezy_main_binary-i386_Packages). Anyone have ideas what I'm doing wrong?
[01:34] <arto> I need some help with aticonfig to enable two monitors..
[01:34] <arto> !aticonfig
[01:34] <ubotu> I know nothing about aticonfig - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:34] <arto> !fglrx
[01:34] <neutrinomass> harry: To test your RAM, restart and choose "memtest86" from the boot menu ....
[01:34] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:34] <linuxd00d> rlj: the defaults are generics
[01:34] <harry> neutrinomass: i got everything just for dapper. i removed all that is listed from the original and pasted what i got from the source matic
[01:34] <linuxd00d> i was using 101-pckey
[01:34] <rlj> linuxd00d, it would seem unlikely to me that the keyboard model or regional layouts were messed up though
[01:34] <harry> neutrinomass: i've already tested my ram
[01:34] <WhiteNinja> harry... the fastest way for being sure to have no hardware-failures AND a correct system is to reinstall (u have said u have a fresh install)... try to change ur partitions-size, so the partition is new formatted.. then u will have a good ubuntu-system in one hour, or so
[01:35] <rlj> linuxd00d, since my swedish characters work without issues
[01:35] <rlj> linuxd00d, as well as pipe and lessthan and greaterthan which normally do nothing if not pc105 is set correctly
[01:35] <linuxd00d> blackbeard: it may be www.nexuiz.org, its a game built on quake engines
[01:35] <harry> WhiteNinja: its like your saying to install everything. i've already installed
[01:36] <linuxd00d> rlj: ok
[01:36] <WhiteNinja> sometimes thats the fastest way *sigh... if u r unsure what u have changed after install
[01:39] <dibblego> what is the typical way of installing Apache modules - there aren't any listed on the ubuntu repositories?
[01:39] <WhiteNinja> u can do a "sudo apt-get upgrade ... or update.. but it will be longer
[01:40] <Seveas> dibblego, look for libapache2-mod-*
[01:40] <cybernetic_core> hello
[01:40] <cybernetic_core> i got a question
[01:40] <dibblego> Seveas, excellent thanks
[01:40] <cybernetic_core> can i insert avatar(picture) on gaim messenger????
[01:40] <harry> neutrinomass: well what should i do now??
[01:41] <cybernetic_core> can i insert avatar(picture) on gaim messenger????
[01:41] <cybernetic_core> someone?
[01:41] <cybernetic_core> first time?
[01:41] <Seveas> cybernetic_core, tools  accounts
[01:41] <Seveas> pick account, click edit
[01:41] <harry> neutrinomass: does having 2 OS on my same harddisk is an issue??
[01:41] <Konstable> how can I resize my swap/ext3 partitions?
[01:41] <Seveas> and there's the place to add a picture
[01:41] <cybernetic_core> hold on
[01:42] <moogman> Hello. Does anyone know how I can remove the data on my MBR?
[01:42] <linuxd00d> format the hardrive XD
[01:42] <cybernetic_core> i have modify not edit
[01:42] <Seveas> linuxd00d, that doesn't help
[01:42] <Seveas> cybernetic_core, same thing ;)
[01:42] <cybernetic_core> ok
[01:42] <cybernetic_core> then?
[01:42] <Seveas> moogman, do you want something else in the mbr instead?
[01:42] <moogman> harry:, Many people
[01:42] <harry> moogman????
[01:42] <Angelic2`> moogman: why?
[01:42] <harry> moogman what many people??
[01:42] <moogman> harry, Sorry.. many people dual-boot, its not normally a problem
[01:43] <Seveas> cybernetic_core, you should see the 'Buddy Icon' setting there
[01:43] <Seveas> click open to select another image
[01:43] <AidyMole> hey which / directories aren't needed for booting?
[01:43] <moogman> Seveas, frogzoo: Because I have two disks, both with an MBR
[01:43] <srikat> I want to install 32 bit ubuntu on top of my existing 64 bit. Do I need to first format the partition on which the current one resides?
[01:43] <WhiteNinja> harry... normally not... the safest way for having windows and linux/bsd or something like that is formatting the hdd with windows for the first primary partition with windows in it.. after that u can us the partition-tool of the other os
[01:43] <Seveas> AidyMole, depends on your definition of booting
[01:43] <moogman> Seveas, frogzoo: And I think my BIOS is choosing the wrong one, so I'm not getting any kernel updates etc.
[01:43] <Seveas> moogman, select your bios to pick the correct disk and it won't be in the way ;)
[01:44] <harry> WhiteNinja: thats exactly what i did
[01:44] <Seveas> moogman, alternatively you can play with dd to fill the first bytes of the disk with zeroes
[01:44] <cybernetic_core> thanx Seveas
[01:44] <moogman> Seveas, No. I just want to remove the old MBR.
[01:44] <cybernetic_core> i was blind
[01:44] <srikat> ..
[01:44] <srikat> I want to install 32 bit ubuntu on top of my existing 64 bit. Do I need to first format the partition on which the current one resides?
[01:44] <moogman> Seveas, That doesn't sound like a sane solution :-p
[01:44] <Seveas> srikat, yes
[01:44] <cybernetic_core> :D
[01:44] <frogzoo> moogman: be VERY careful you enter this exactly "sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1"  if you omit the count, you'll scrub your disk :)
[01:44] <srikat> ok
[01:45] <Seveas> moogman, it's the only solution
[01:45] <harry> WhiteNinja: i dont know whats wrong right now.  i only have 40gB harddisk and i have 2 OS
[01:45] <snk00sj> ok, so now i did the dpkg-reconfigure, and X boots up correctly
[01:45] <snk00sj> but when  use system>administration>resolutions, i can see 1280x... etc
[01:45] <snk00sj> but no 1400x1050, although i think the current resolution s right
[01:45] <AidyMole> Seveas: well the root partition of this comp is nearly full, but I don't have a livecd nor a cd writer, so I thought I'd mount some things on the current /home part
[01:45] <moogman> frogzoo: How did you know it was /dev/hda that I wanted to modify? ;)
[01:45] <snk00sj> in the xorg.conf is only 1 resolution, howcome i can select multiple in the GUI of screen resolutions ?
[01:45] <Seveas> AidyMole, if /home is on a sepearate partitio you can keep it
[01:46] <moogman> Seveas, frogzoo: I think what I wanted to do was remove the MBR on both disks, and then re-install grub.
[01:46] <moogman> moogman@eyebrow:~$ ls /boot; ls /boot/grub
[01:46] <moogman> abi-2.6.15-26-686  config-2.6.15-26-686  grub  initrd.img-2.6.15-26-686  System.map-2.6.15-26-686  vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-686
[01:46] <moogman> device.map
[01:46] <WhiteNinja> harry.. that would be enough for windows (like 10-20 gb) and the same for linux
[01:46] <frogzoo> moogman: seems like overkill
[01:46] <harry> WhiteNinja: i only assigned 7.5 GB for C:\ and another 7.5 for the other partition. to save my files. then i installed ubuntu choosing the option of "use the largest available space
[01:46] <moogman> frogzoo: I don't have a menu.lst in /boot/grub :S (Nor dies it boot up the 2.6.15-26 kernel)
[01:46] <moogman> *does
[01:47] <harry> WhiteNinja: so when loading windows i have 7.5GB in C and 7.5GB on D:
[01:47] <cybernetic_core> Seveas:  one more question? when i use proxy in kvirc it seems like it dont use it when to try to login
[01:47] <valdo1604> list
[01:47] <WhiteNinja> that looks normal...
[01:47] <frogzoo> moogman: from the grub command, 'find /boot/grub/menu.lst'   should figure out where your kernel's gone
[01:47] <Seveas> cybernetic_core, can't help you there, I don't use kvirc
[01:47] <AidyMole> Seveas: I'm no noob or so, I know exactly what to do, I simply need to know what / directories I can copy
[01:47] <Seveas> AidyMole, none
[01:47] <moogman> frogzoo: File not found
[01:48] <cybernetic_core> Seveas: what program do u recommend?
[01:48] <moogman> frogzoo: Or do you mean when booting?
[01:48] <frogzoo> moogman: from the grub command, 'find /etc/passwd'
[01:48] <cybernetic_core> x chat?
[01:48] <WhiteNinja> but it is normally a good idea to make partions of the new os manually, too... maybe u want a safe place for ur files with linux, too ;-)
[01:48] <moogman> frogzoo: File not found again :)
[01:48] <Seveas> cybernetic_core, I'm using xchat -- it's not bad
[01:48] <cybernetic_core> ok man
[01:48] <cybernetic_core> thanx
[01:48] <cybernetic_core> :)
[01:48] <moogman> frogzoo: Would I have to do 'root /dev/sda1' first?
[01:48] <frogzoo> moogman: remember where you mentioned reinstalling grub ;) ?
[01:48] <Seveas> AidyMole, /usr and /bin are arch-dependent
[01:48] <AidyMole> Seveas: jeezz, I'm sure I can copy var
[01:49] <linuxd00d> cybernetic_core: i use Konversation
[01:49] <Seveas> and /etc and /var depend on things installed in /bun and /usr
[01:49] <AidyMole> so the others are ok,except boot
[01:49] <Seveas> so only thing that's safe to copy is /home
[01:49] <frogzoo> moogman: actually, might be looking on the wrong disk maybes...
[01:49] <harry> WhiteNinja: how about trying to shut down my whole system. it might work right. then turn it on again and install mplayer??
[01:49] <AidyMole> Seveas: you don't understand
[01:49] <Seveas> /var especially can't be copied -- you'd f*ck up dpkg doing that
[01:49] <Seveas> AidyMole, no, you are trying to take shortcuts while ther are none
[01:49] <AidyMole> Seveas: I'm goind to mount them on the partition that currently is /home
[01:50] <moogman> frogzoo: Ok, so my /boot/ is on /dev/sda1. I have (/dev/sda2 and /dev/sdb1) as a LVM physical volume.
[01:50] <Seveas> AidyMole, ok, I give up -- you're beyond help :/
[01:50] <moogman> frogzoo: What I'm *thinking* is that it may be picking up the MBR of /dev/sdb or something.
[01:50] <WhiteNinja> try to reboot in recovery-mode, first... start ur x-session with startx manually... then look, if it works better (sometimes it does, starting the root-console before)... try to remove mplayer first before reinstall)
[01:50] <AidyMole> Seveas: no you
[01:51] <linuxd00d> oh guys, when i tell my machine to shut down, it gets to unmount LVM and seems to stall
[01:51] <Blackbeard> hmm can i unzip a zip file with linux ?
[01:51] <AidyMole> yes
[01:51] <linuxd00d> blackbeard yes
[01:51] <Seveas> Blackbeard, yes, with the unzip command
[01:51] <Blackbeard> like rar?
[01:51] <Gullstad> Whats a good application to burn *.img-files with?
[01:51] <linuxd00d> yes
[01:51] <Seveas> or with file-roller (gnome) or ark (kde)
[01:51] <AidyMole> is there an ubuntu channel where peeps aren't total noobs
[01:51] <Seveas> Gullstad, k3b i expect
[01:51] <frogzoo> moogman: try 'root (sd0,0)'  & see if find can pickup something
[01:52] <linuxd00d> aidymole, people have to start somewhere
[01:52] <Seveas> !attitude > AidyMole
[01:52] <AidyMole> linuxd00d: but it's annoying
[01:52] <EdwardFerrond> is there any maintenance required for ubuntu?
[01:52] <psycose> hi
[01:52] <frogzoo> AidyMole: if I wasn't a noob, I might know...
[01:53] <AidyMole> EdwardFerrond: no
[01:53] <linuxd00d> yeah, i have knowledge of linux but not to the extenet of some of these people
[01:53] <Seveas> EdwardFerrond, of course there is
[01:53] <mikearthur> AidyMole: did you just start being a pro then?
[01:53] <frogzoo> EdwardFerrond: mostly if you just enable the auto updates, things run pretty smoothly
[01:53] <AidyMole> mikearthur: I'm using linux for 2 years
[01:53] <Seveas> EdwardFerrond, things like security updates aren't installed automatically (although it's pretty close to automatic)
[01:53] <psycose> i've just noticed the file /etc/init.d/hdparm does not exist (dapper i686, hdparm installed) what about you ?
[01:53] <moogman> frogzoo: grub> root (sd0,0) - Error 23: Error while parsing number
[01:53] <AidyMole> and I've used tons of distro's incl gentoo
[01:53] <Seveas> AidyMole, so you're just a newbie by now
[01:53] <moogman> frogzoo: grub> root (hd0,0)  - Error 21: Selected disk does not exist
[01:53] <AidyMole> I really know what I'm doing
[01:54] <EdwardFerrond> is there a registry like windows to be cleaned and maintained?
[01:54] <Seveas> AidyMole, anyway, read what ubotu read and change your attitude please
[01:54] <mikearthur> AidyMole: wooah, you used GENTOO, you must be a pro
[01:54] <moogman> frogzoo: Sorry to be a pain :)
[01:54] <Seveas> if you know what you're doing you don't need help from us
[01:54] <darkbutterfly> hi
[01:54] <EdwardFerrond> is there a registry like windows to be cleaned and maintained?
[01:54] <linuxd00d> people, when i shut down my laptop i get to the last process i think, unmounting LVM it says ok but does not shut down automatically?
[01:54] <Seveas> EdwardFerrond, no
[01:54] <linuxd00d> is this a problem or do i just shut my laptop off
[01:55] <darkbutterfly> i'm having some problems with easytag, does anyone have any suggestions?  it keeps crashing on me.
[01:55] <Seveas> linuxboy, does it say "will power off now" or something similar?
[01:55] <linuxd00d> no
[01:55] <AidyMole> mikearthur: I for sure know that /home isn't the only directory that doesn't need to be on the root partition, as Seveas thinks
[01:55] <laptop_> how do i activate tvout mode on ati mobility 7500?
[01:55] <Seveas> AidyMole, that's not what I think ...
[01:55] <EdwardFerrond> hmm, so I can just keep it on without maintenance, and it won't crash?
[01:55] <Seveas> AidyMole, read your question and my answers again please
[01:55] <mikearthur> AidyMole: what does then, pro
[01:56] <darkbutterfly> hello?
[01:56] <Seveas> EdwardFerrond, as long as you regularly install security updates: yes
[01:56] <darkbutterfly> can anyone help me?
[01:56] <linuxd00d> seveas: no it just get to the part i explained above
[01:56] <AidyMole> mikearthur: well that was what I was asking
[01:56] <moogman> frogzoo: Doofus error, ran grub as root, and 'root (hd0,0)' works, but not '(sd0,0)'
[01:56] <EdwardFerrond> okay, thanks :)
[01:56] <mikearthur> darkbutterfly: use a different version or different program
[01:56] <darkbutterfly> i'm new to linux and don't know what to use
[01:57] <Seveas> linuxd00d, I think you're bitten by a well known bug where it won't perform the actual shutdown. If you don't actually use LVM it
[01:57] <frogzoo> moogman: but you have no ide drives, they're all sata, correct?
[01:57] <Seveas> 's perfectly safe to cut the power
[01:57] <moogman> frogzoo: I can now see /grub/menu.lst from grub. Should I do install (hd0) ?
[01:57] <moogman> frogzoo: Yes, they are sata
[01:57] <darkbutterfly> i don't know what other programs do the same thing, i've tried cowbell, but it gives me some problems with some of the albums
[01:57] <Blackbeard> @linuxd00d : i extracted zip file but which file is like exe in windows?
[01:57] <linuxd00d> yeah
[01:58] <linuxd00d> blackbeard: yeah just run it
[01:58] <srikat> Blackbeard: .deb is like .exe/.msi AFAIK
[01:58] <Seveas> srikat, closer to .msi then .exe, .exe is not always an installer
[01:58] <frogzoo> moogman: if it was me, I'd boot from here
[01:58] <srikat> right
[01:58] <Blackbeard> hmm.. there is no deb file
[01:58] <srikat> Blackbeard: did you download a source file?
[01:58] <linuxd00d> seveas, cheers so i dont have to worry if i f*ck up my machine
[01:59] <WhiteNinja> for my opinion the equivalent to .exe is .sh :-)
[01:59] <moogman> frogzoo: Right, just incase it messes up, I wouldn't have saved the changes. Cheers, be back in a bit :)
[01:59] <Seveas> WhiteNinja, not really, .sh is more like .bat
[01:59] <psycose> I don't have any /etc/init.d/hdparm (dapper i686, hdparm installed) any tips ?
[01:59] <Blackbeard> no not only sources
[01:59] <Seveas> Blackbeard, what are you trying to install?
[01:59] <Blackbeard> there are some exe files... but i think they don't work
[01:59] <WhiteNinja> Seveas: u r right... my mistake :-(
[02:00] <Blackbeard> nexuiz
[02:00] <linuxd00d> Blackbeard: have you downloaded the right version for linux or windows?
[02:00] <Seveas> Blackbeard, ah - you're going to have to compile that
[02:00] <laptop_> how do i activate tvout mode on ati radeon mobility 7500?
[02:00] <Seveas> Blackbeard, /join #ubuntu-classroom -- I'll guide you through it in that room, it's a bit less crowded
[02:00] <linuxd00d> Seveas: i thought that nexuiz was already precompiled
[02:01] <Blackbeard> yes thank you

[02:09] <cyber_brain_mfkg> is there on the web some kind of protocol for free SMS???
[02:09] <fyrestrtr> cyber_brain_mfkg: no, sms costs money.
[02:09] <cyber_brain_mfkg> hm...
[02:10] <fyrestrtr> damn, just found out I have $210 in traffic violations :(
[02:10] <cyber_brain_mfkg> my telephone company alows me to send 5 SMS messages during one day
[02:10] <cyber_brain_mfkg> over the internet
[02:11] <cyber_brain_mfkg> so i wondered if there is something similar?
[02:11] <Seveas> fyrestrtr, err.. bad :/
[02:11] <Seveas> cyber_brain_mfkg, not really
[02:11] <cyber_brain_mfkg> Seveas: ?
[02:12] <fyrestrtr> not that bad really, seeing as there is no point system in Kuwait, but yeah, I have to pay it. Crap.
[02:12] <shinobi2> what do you guys use for file manager?
[02:12] <fyrestrtr> they are from May -- speeding on the way to work.
[02:12] <Seveas> shinobi2, nautilus and good'ol coreutils (cp, mv, rm)
[02:13] <shinobi2> Seveas: *sigh* .... no mc? emelFM?
[02:13] <Seveas> mc sometimes
[02:13] <Seveas> mc plays nicer with ssh than nautilus does
[02:14] <shinobi2> where can i get mc? it did not come with distro
[02:14] <a2xm> hi all, what is the best VCD player for gnome?
[02:14] <Seveas> shinobi2, you can install it with synaptic or apt-get
[02:14] <Seveas> a2xm, totem, vlc and mplayer are popular
[02:14] <shinobi2> apt-get install mc ; didnot work
[02:15] <fyrestrtr> hrmm, 3ddesk is pretty ... ermm, useles.s
[02:15] <Seveas> !universe > shinobi2 # look at what ubotu sends you shinobi2
[02:15] <Seveas> fyrestrtr, quite
[02:15] <Seveas> better use compiz if you want that kind of thing
[02:15] <fyrestrtr> yeah but compiz + ati = headaches
[02:16] <Seveas> fyrestrtr, works fine for me
[02:16] <fyrestrtr> plus, for some unexplained reason -- it just stopped working on my nvidia box -- complaining now that it can't find the composite extension.
[02:16] <fyrestrtr> Seveas: you must not be on a laptop then.
[02:16] <a2xm> Seveas: ubuntu 6.06 comes incl. mplayer right? but not for me.
[02:17] <Seveas> a2xm, applications  add/remove
[02:17] <Seveas> there you can find mplayer
[02:17] <Seveas> fyrestrtr, actually I am on a laptop
[02:17] <Seveas> radeon mobility 9600
[02:17] <fyrestrtr> its very unstable on my machine (ati x300). Random lockups (yes, I tried all the fixes).
[02:18] <fyrestrtr> 0000:01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M22 [Radeon Mobility M300]
[02:18] <a2xm> Seveas: right, on my add/remove, mplayer already checked mark. but i coundn't find it on the menu. weird?
[02:18] <fyrestrtr> a2xm: did you install it?
[02:18] <srikat> a2xm: what happens when you type "mplayer" in terminal?
[02:19] <darth_gimp> Where can I ask about specific software?
[02:19] <Seveas> a2xm, odd, try launching it from the terminal (gmplayer or mplayer)
[02:19] <a2xm> Seveas: command not found for both
[02:19] <fyrestrtr> darth_gimp: on that software's website or channel (if available)
[02:19] <fyrestrtr> a2xm: you need to install it first.

[02:20] <darth_gimp> I'll try the Off-topic Channel

[02:33] <bdfg> could anyone tell me if is it possible now to install linux in a FAT32 partition?
[02:33] <SonicChao> linuxd00d: Can I install it from sudo apt-get install?
[02:33] <jdseek> where do I go for wine help, I am stuck between a rock and a hard place with programs I need for work
[02:33] <linuxd00d> im not to sure
[02:34] <SonicChao> linuxd00d: alright I'll try it.
[02:34] <linuxd00d> ok
[02:34] <SonicChao> linuxd00d: Looks like it came preinstalled.
[02:34] <jdseek> does anyone know how to make wine work?
[02:34] <steveire> you already hav irrsi
[02:34] <JamieBE> Anyone help me on the DVD front please?
[02:34] <steveire> yes
[02:35] <void^> bdfg: no.
[02:35] <SonicChao> !wine > jdseek
[02:35] <bdfg> void^: thx
[02:35] <SonicChao> jdseek: Read ubotu's message.

[02:36] <steveire> what system? is it ld?
[02:36] <goatpussy> i don't have further debug information, so i don't have any lead where to look
[02:36] <linuxd00d> sonicchaos: ok
[02:36] <steveire> bdfg: It depends what you mean by on a fat32 partition
[02:36] <bdfg> I mean...
[02:37] <steveire> You will reformat the partition and the use it fine.
[02:37] <jdseek> i guess i have to go back to suse 10
[02:37] <bdfg> I have a fat32 extended partition with 3 logical partitions inside it
[02:37] <bdfg> i intend to install ubunt on one of those logical partitions
[02:37] <bdfg> is it possible?
[02:37] <jdseek> there isn't anyone in #wine to help me
[02:37] <void^> bdfg: yes.
[02:38] <steveire> yes
[02:38] <bdfg> don't I need at least two partitions? one for swap and the other for /
[02:38] <bdfg> ?
[02:38] <linuxd00d> right guys see you all in a while fag breake
[02:38] <darth_gimp> Is it possible to set up a DOS partition? Or Dual Boot with DOS as an option?
[02:38] <steveire> But you dont have a fat32 extended partion. You have an extended partition with three fat32 logical partitions, if I understand you...
[02:38] <SonicChao> jdseek: Use #winehq
[02:38] <jdseek> ok, thanks
[02:39] <bdfg> steveire: yes
[02:39] <jereth_da_lion> its saying libartsco
[02:39] <steveire> well if you remove one of the logical partitions and leave it as unpartitioned space, you can let the installer install ubuntu on that free space
[02:40] <JamieBE> DVD please anyone?
[02:40] <SonicChao> hello....wow...=D
[02:40] <mrcoyote> Yep all
[02:40] <bdfg> steveire: ok... that was exactly what I was hoping
[02:40] <bdfg> thx
[02:40] <jereth_da_lion> also how can i get dapper to recognize my 3 scsi drives
[02:40] <EdwardFerrond> use xine if it is legal in your country
[02:40] <steveire> it will sort out the partitions for you. I think it will make a swap partition for you.
[02:40] <darth_gimp> steveire, I alreadty have a full install of Ubuntu though
[02:40] <antoniojulio>
[02:40] <Decadent> after installing xgl how can i make my keyboard shortcuts work again?? such as alt+a to minimize a window??

[02:44] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: you might want to convert to the dvd format if you wanna play it on most dvd players though
[02:44] <steveire> JaMiNkLe: Try booting with the recovery option. That will boot with you logged in as root
[02:44] <Bonkers_> !ipod
[02:44] <darth_gimp> No go?
[02:44] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPodHowto
[02:45] <tanath> heh
[02:45] <steveire> then you can type users or something to see the users
[02:45] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: k3b doesn't encode
[02:45] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: try ffmpeg first
[02:45] <echodrive> gday, i want to make an iso from some files,, any help on how to do this would be appreciated,, (dapper)
[02:45] <EdwardFerrond> okay, thanks :)
[02:45] <Bonkers_> grr
[02:46] <shinobi2> the repositories in synaptic shows java 1.4 which is old.  i ve already updated apt-get.  anyone know how to get java 1.5 for dapper? or i'll just have to download the binary from sun?
[02:46] <steveire> darth_gimp: Try looking at the grub documentation
[02:46] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: it's command-line though
[02:46] <steveire> I think I might have seen something there about what you want to do.
[02:46] <steveire> I really should shave
[02:46] <darth_gimp> steveire, Where?
[02:46] <Bonkers_> hey can anyone help me with banshee, i have my ipod shown on desktop and in bamnshee, but i dont know how to add and remove files from it, also i dont have a synchronize button which i think i need
[02:47] <steveire> http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/html_node/index.html
[02:47] <darth_gimp> steveire, Thanks
[02:47] <EdwardFerrond> hmm, but it can encode to dvd?
[02:48] <arto> Pleaseeeeeeeeeee someone. Just need one info. I have made my aticonfig dual head work.. now it shows my desktop on the computer and on the TV too.. however, when I play video on totem the video appears as black..!! what can I do?
[02:48] <Decadent> FurryNemesis, unfortunately my shortcuts don't seem to work even when i try to reamap them, i've setted alt+s to open a terminal but it doesn't work
[02:48] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: do something like 'ffmpeg -i video.avi -target dvd video.mpg'
[02:48] <Decadent> any other suggestions??
[02:48] <EdwardFerrond> hmm...
[02:48] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: then you can burn that file
[02:48] <FurryNemesis> Decadent, can you boot to a previous kernel where your mappings are intact?
[02:48] <EdwardFerrond> how do you burn the .mpg to a dvd
[02:48] <Decadent> yes
[02:49] <Decadent> everything wokred properly
[02:49] <echodrive> need ISO creator anybody?
[02:49] <Decadent> i restarted my gdm
[02:49] <Decadent> for the xgl
[02:49] <Decadent> and now they dont work
[02:49] <Decadent> :S
[02:49] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: with something like k3b or gnomebaker, though i've had issues with gnomebaker not burning things properly
[02:49] <Decadent> everything else works perfectly
[02:49] <EdwardFerrond> k3b can burn a .mpg to dvd?
[02:50] <EdwardFerrond> ah...
[02:50] <EdwardFerrond> okay i found it
[02:50] <EdwardFerrond> thanks :)
[02:50] <tanath> EdwardFerrond: k3b is a program for burning things to CDs, DVDs, whatever
[02:50] <nikin> hy all
[02:50] <moogman> I have found my grub problem, I think. /boot is a directory off /, rather than mounted to /dev/sda1
[02:50] <arto> Pleaseeeeeeeeeee someone. Just need one info. I have made my aticonfig dual head work.. now it shows my desktop on the computer and on the TV too.. however, when I play video on totem the video appears as black..!! what can I do?
[02:50] <shinobi2> can my current ubuntu run kde desktop?
[02:50] <Nikoladze> tanath: I'm running the official build now and that still doesn't work. when I click on the accept terms button nothing happens, not even that yellow bar saying its blocking something
[02:50] <nikin> just neting with live CD :D SMC wlancard sux, but have an other one :D
[02:50] <moogman> So it boots up correctly, from the grub side. But when I try to add a new kernel, it writes the new kernel to the "wrong" /boot/
[02:50] <shinobi2> or i have to install brand new kubuntu?
[02:51] <tanath> Nikoladze: i think i remember that happening to me too... i believe i just restarted it a few times and it worked...
[02:51] <tanath> Nikoladze: or i may have uninstalled another extension to get it working... i don't recall :/
[02:51] <moogman> The problem I'm having now, is that, when I try to mount it says "mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or /boot busy". /dev/sda1 is not mounted, and /boot is empty.
[02:52] <tanath> Nikoladze: actually, i think i did uninstall an extension to make it work. don't remember which one though... what others do you have?

[02:53] <shinobi2> moogman: do you have ubuntu on laptop or on desktop? my main drive is called /dev/sda instead of /dev/hda
[02:53] <tanath> Nikoladze: hmm. i have those too, except for stumble, so it's not those.. try just restarting it a few times
[02:53] <dyn-afk> shinobi2 has a sata drive?
[02:54] <Nikoladze> tanath: right, it wasn't anything to do with java was it?
[02:54] <shinobi2> dyn-afk: oh.. yeah, i think my lappy has a sata drive
[02:54] <vigilante_> I just tried glxinfo, showed gears spinning but no fps, how do I get the fps to display?
[02:54] <moogman> shinobi2: Yes, I have a sata drive. Well, two.
[02:55] <shinobi2> dyn-afk: that's according to the pdf file i dug up for this lappy.  but i never open it to verify if indeed it's a sata

[02:55] <tanath> Nikoladze: no. actually, i do recall that i used a new profile...
[02:55] <dyn-afk> I still have pata drives but I knew linux recognizes sata and usb sticks as if they were scsi drives

[02:55] <deepak> what is the URL for the iso image for the universe repository for dapper?

[02:55] <moogman> vigilante_: glxgears -iacknowledgethatthistoolisnotabenchmark
[02:56] <Nikoladze> tanath: I don't suppose you could just send me the .xpi file could you
[02:56] <zsh> !glxgears
[02:56] <ubotu> To display the FPS in glxgears, run 'glxgears -printfps' in a terminal.
[02:56] <tanath> Nikoladze: o.O i got it from google... isn't that where you got yours?
[02:56] <ubuntu> hey ppl

[02:57] <tanath> ubuntu: gparted
[02:57] <Nikoladze> tanath: yeah, thats where I'm trying to get it but it won't let me, I'll figure it out
[02:57] <vigilante_> moogman: yeah, I know its not a complete benchmark, but it gives me something to go off of
[02:57] <tanath> Nikoladze: wait, you can't even get the xpi??
[02:57] <vigilante_> thx zsh

[03:00] <Nikoladze> tanath: yeah, its not the thing where you have to add it to your list of allowed sites, I even went to d/l another extension so I could add tools.google.com
[03:00] <tanath> Nikoladze: in terminal
[03:00] <moogman> impulze: Try it again.
[03:00] <tanath> Nikoladze: you can add sites in options you know

[03:01] <space_> I use Ubuntu 6.06 but i have used ubuntu 5.10 before in my thinkpad, and i had network-manager-gnome(nm-applet). With 5.10, it was good, i could choose from a list of wireless networks, but since i switched to 6.06, it has not worked, it does not show the wifi networks, and show "no connection", even though i'm online. Could you offer a workable application, which shows the all available network?
[03:01] <elias_> moogman: and there is a binary file /etc/aliases.db, how does this one get created?
[03:01] <moogman> impulze: Try running 'ps -ef | grep [a] pt' at a command line. You cannot have more than one apt program running at the same time

[03:10] <SonicChao> Why do we even want NTFS writing?

[03:10] <SonicChao> I don't see what good it would do writing to a commercial partition.
[03:10] <SonicChao> =(
[03:10] <impulze> moogman,  i dont need to think twice
[03:10] <SonicChao> But thats just my opinion.

[03:10] <J-_> formatted my p4 to linux and crashed it all in the same day lol, damn thing... just formatted/installed everything again
[03:11] <moogman> impulze: sudo gparted

[03:11] <impulze> its runnin already
[03:11] <moogman> impulze: That's the Gnome partition editor, so you can remove/create/edit partitions from there.
[03:11] <abo> how do I ask for flashplugin to be reinstalled, or how can I make sure it is properly installed?

[03:15] <`spider> hi? how do I strat ubuntu installation process and does it come with GRUB or similar?
[03:16] <moogman> a2xm: You'll have to do it a few times, for the different movie types
[03:16] <moogman> a2xm: Or you could just remove totem :p
[03:16] <nikin> nilesh: did it work?
[03:17] <a2xm> moogman: i can't paly VCD with either both
[03:17] <moogman> a2xm: You should be able to play vcds with mplayer, at least.
[03:17] <a2xm> moogman: i prefer mplayer then totem though..

[03:29] <moogman> a2xm: Try  mplayer -ao null /media/cdrom0/MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.DAT
[03:30] <Awesome-o2000> `spider, pop the XP disk in, boot into rescue mode, do fixboot and fixmbr and reboot
[03:30] <srikat> `spider: perhaps booting via XP disk and fixmbr?
[03:30] <moogman> a2xm: Don't wory about that LIRC error, that just means it couldn't find a remote control.
[03:30] <`spider> I don't have an XP CD :)
[03:31] <`spider> anything else
[03:31] <srikat> `spider: then may be you can edit grub so you directly land in windows when you start the comp
[03:31] <`spider> with what command?
[03:32] <`spider> Yay, I'm 10 % of Ubuntu DOwnload :)
[03:32] <a2xm> moogman: the same
[03:32] <srikat> `spider: search for 'editing grub' in the forums.
[03:33] <`spider> ubuntu forums?

[03:33] <srikat> yes
[03:33] <moogman> a2xm: Try  mplayer -vo null /media/cdrom0/MPEGAV/AVSEQ01.DAT
[03:33] <moogman> a2xm: With -vo instead of -ao
[03:34] <`spider> Can I use Ubuntu on a old Toshiba notebook with 32 or 64 MB RAM
[03:35] <Awesome-o2000> `spider, xubuntuy
[03:35] <Awesome-o2000> `spider, xubuntu
[03:35] <Miek> yeah, xubuntu would be more suitable
[03:35] <a2xm> moogman: it's only for .dat file... no problem with .avi, .mpg
[03:35] <`spider> and it's mostly the same
[03:35] <moogman> a2xm: I wonder if you try 'mplayer /media/cdrom0'
[03:36] <ce3c> ^ohoel ?
[03:36] <^ohoel> are ports automatically opened whenI need them or do I have to make sure ports are open myself?

[03:36] <a2xm> moogman: same
[03:36] <^ohoel> hows your net going? ;p
[03:37] <a2xm> moogman: btw, can i remove totem?
[03:37] <ce3c> ^ohoel: wireless is working :)
[03:37] <ce3c> but now I've got a new problem ...
[03:37] <^ohoel> ce3c: great news :)
[03:37] <ce3c> yeah :P
[03:37] <moogman> a2xm: Yes, the package is most likely called totem-gstreamer. But mplayer doesn't use totem
[03:37] <ce3c> ^ohoel: you did ever try to install counter-strike?
[03:37] <a2xm> moogman: i just don't like totem and save my space
[03:38] <^ohoel> ce3c: no, as a id fan that would be inappropriate of me ;p
[03:38] <ce3c> oh, anyway, my graphics aren't good...
[03:38] <ce3c> is there something so i can enhance them?
[03:38] <moogman> a2xm: Ok, one last thing to try. mplayer -vcd 0 -cdrom-device /dev/cdrom

[03:40] <`spider> I have Linux Knoppix and it is the most unstable thing; that is why I'm asking
[03:41] <dmsantam> `spider, there is no answer for you. the best thing to do is to give it a go :)
[03:41] <moogman> a2xm: It's pointing to the raw cdrom device, which is likely to be /dev/cdrom. If you do 'ls /dev/cd*', then it will tell you which device to use
[03:41] <dmsantam> `spider, i claim its stable, at least the parts that i use

[03:50] <Miek> mpathy: by default it gives sudo privilages to the "admin" group, rather than your specific user
[03:50] <rpedro> mpathy: anyone on the 'admin' group can use sudo
[03:51] <niruana> i tried https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo

[03:56] <shadeofgrey> okay guys i need help with something
[03:56] <shadeofgrey> how the hell do i decompress a .rar archive that has over 128 seperate .rar archives?
[03:56] <niruana> can somebody help me with WPA-PSK ?
[03:56] <shadeofgrey> it starts out as a .tar
[03:57] <moogman> shadeofgrey: Most probably, if you try to unrar the first one (file.rar or file.r00), then the unrar program will pick them all up
[03:58] <frying_fish> shadeofgrey: unrar the first archive
[03:58] <frying_fish> so either unrar x foo.rar or unrar x foo.part1.rar or something like that
[03:59] <Masticor1> Is there a program that turns wma to mp3 ?
[03:59] <shadeofgrey> okay but whats the commandline command for unpacking a rar?
[04:00] <shadeofgrey> i downloaded the .rar decompressor in synaptyic but i cant figure out how the commandline srtructure works
[04:00] <moogman> shadeofgrey: "unrar"
[04:00] <Dr_Willis> rar --help or rar -help   perhaps

[04:02] <moogman> MaxL: May I suggest you try running the live disk, that will give you a good indication of what hardware is supported, and what isn't
[04:02] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:02] <Dr_Willis> axisys,  under gnome - i thinkthe printscreen key does that.
[04:02] <MaxL> moogman, Live disk?
[04:02] <zsh> has anyone tried installing gtk on badger
[04:03] <MaxL> moogman, I have not even purchased the item yet, I'm just wondering if it will work in Ubuntu,cause I don't wanna buy a pad and find out I gotta bring it back.
[04:03] <dcode> does parted on the livecd support resizing of hfsplus partitions?
[04:03] <axisys> Dr_Willis: that did it thnx
[04:03] <niruana> can somebody help me with WPA-PSK ?
[04:03] <Dr_Willis> axisys,  and it works better then how it wirks  under windows. :P

[04:04] <MaxL> Dr_Willis: What the heck is windows?
[04:04] <cyber_brain_mfkg> !proxy
[04:04] <ubotu> I know nothing about proxy - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu

[04:06] <cyber_brain_mfkg> arto: then u do right click>open>insert subtitle
[04:06] <shadeofgrey> Dr_Willis: okay what exactly do i type to unpack the first one?
[04:06] <tuxtux> xorg.conf is ok
[04:06] <Dr_Willis> tuxtux,  i had similer issue on this desktopmachine.. but then i rebooted an dit worked. (not sure what happened) :P

[04:06] <cyber_brain_mfkg> and choose your subtitle file
[04:06] <axisys> is it possible to pick a section of the screen and then take snapshot of that?
[04:07] <shadeofgrey> i already looked at the wiki page -- it didnt tell me.
[04:07] <GStubbs43> axisys: ksnapshot does that
[04:07] <tuxtux> Dr_Willis: in xorg is ok driver fglrx
[04:07] <space_> i solved the previous problem(nm-applet not working with wifi networks), if anybody has this problem, just remove the lines which contains eth0(wifi device) from /etc/network/interfaces and then /etc/init.d/dbus restart
[04:07] <shadeofgrey> am i to assume that NOBODY in here knows how to unpack rars with the commandline?
[04:07] <sioux> hi people... i am geting crazy to setup swat, I installed all the package and configured the inetd.conf and service but swat won't start.
[04:07] <space_> rar x file.rar

[04:08] <cyber_brain_mfkg> arto:  u must download arabic suport
[04:08] <Dr_Willis> shadeofgrey,  it pays to learn to do rar -help or unrar -help or simile and read.
[04:08] <afief> unrar -e RARFILENAME.rar.
[04:08] <Dr_Willis> because thats how we  just looked it up. :)

can u show the contents of you fstab
[04:18] <axisys> GStubbs43: is there a gnome version of that?
[04:18] <arto> HazemMohamed, I have sent you the email
[04:18] <zzy> how do i do that
[04:18] <GStubbs43> No, but I have it running on Gnome and it works fine. Most kde apps can be run on Gnome anyway.
[04:18] <Snake> Does ubuntu take advantage of technology like hyper threading?
[04:19] <mjr> Snake, yes
[04:19] <a2xm> which one is better for ubuntu: gnomebaker or k3b?
[04:19] <moogman> axisys: Gimp will let you do what you want
[04:19] <axisys> moogman: oh yeah.. i remember now.. thnx
[04:20] <frying_fish> a2xm: whats your environment, gnome or kde?
[04:20] <a2xm> frying_fish: gnome
[04:20] <space_> zzy: in command line: cat /etc/fstab
[04:20] <frying_fish> then I would go with gnomebaker
[04:21] <a2xm> frying_fish: are both support multi sessions?
[04:21] <Snake> Is there any reasons on why ubuntu would read my 2.8 ghz CPU (which I have overclocked to 3.6) as a 1.6 ghz?

[04:21] <frying_fish> think so, I just said gnomebaker on the fact its gtk, not qt
[04:21] <frying_fish> and that will integrate better
[04:22] <mboso> what version of xserver-xorg-core are dapper people running?
[04:22] <a2xm> frying_fish: last time as i remember using gnomebaker it can't support multi sessions
[04:22] <Jezza> So would you say that Gnome-baker is better than Graveman
[04:22] <frogzoo> mboso: packages.ubuntu.com
[04:22] <frying_fish> a2xm: no harming in testing it out again
[04:23] <frying_fish> Jezza: never heard of graveman

[04:26] <erider> jpatota: I'm type the command in the terminal
[04:27] <jpatota> Paddy_EIRE: i would go with the manufacturers hdd tests first
[04:27] <mboso> If i'm running edgy, and want to downgrade just one package, do i have to put dapper in my source.list file?

 how would i go ablout that

[04:27] <UbuntuMonk> Hi everyone
[04:27] <jpatota> Paddy_EIRE: who makes the drive
[04:27] <frying_fish> Paddy_EIRE: go to the manufacturers website, acquire the diagnostic tools and run them

kk, nice one
[04:28] <shadeofgrey> hey thats a question for everybody speaking of edgy....
[04:29] <shadeofgrey> heres the deal
[04:29] <HazemMohamed> arto: it is too slow to send please be patient
[04:29] <UbuntuMonk> can someone point me to a resource for learning Ubuntu from the scratch step by step
[04:29] <erider> jpatota: Ok thanks
[04:29] <shadeofgrey> i had windows xp on my primary disk, and test versions of dapper on my third disk
[04:29] <jpatota> UbuntuMonk: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper
[04:29] <arto> HazemMohamed, no problem.. if you wish, you could send me the link from where I could download
[04:29] <frogzoo> !docs > UbuntuMonk
[04:29] <frogzoo> UbuntuMonk: also, system -> about gnome/ubuntu
 PowerMax is windows only
[04:30] <HazemMohamed> arto: the link has gone, it was on  a forum that was hacked, just wait
[04:30] <shadeofgrey> the third disk still has old builds of dapper on it but when i set the bootloader for my primary install of ubuntu which is now replacing windows on my primary disk -- how do i go about installing edgy on my third drive without putting a bootloader on the third disk?
[04:30] <frying_fish> Paddy_EIRE: there is a cd .iso that you can boot
[04:30] <arto> HazemMohamed, ok.. no problem.

[04:30] <frying_fish> and powermax is what you want to run all the test
[04:30] <HazemMohamed> arto: I think the message was sent
 ok is there any way i can use this from usb flash drive
[04:31] <frogzoo> UbuntuMonk: hoary is quite old, you'd do better with dapper
[04:31] <luvbabe> can someone get my ubuntu system online?
[04:31] <arto> HazemMohamed, the message I received says "Hazem wants to chat"
[04:31] <frying_fish> Paddy_EIRE: boot the cd that you download, then see if it finds it, if not then no
[04:32] <HazemMohamed> arto: that is one message,  there is another
[04:32] <frying_fish> a usb flash drive? what are you on about, is it a harddisk or a solid state device?
[04:32] <UbuntuMonk> frogzoo,  I will try and read the docs first then i will upgrade to Dapper
[04:32] <a2xm> moogman: r u stiil there?
 i have no cds at the mo
[04:32] <arto> HazemMohamed, ok.. I am waiting.
[04:32] <frogzoo> UbuntuMonk: a fair plan
[04:32] <frying_fish> or, do you mean the harddisk is connected via usb>
[04:32] <frying_fish> well no, its a cd, you need it on a cd.
[04:33] <a2xm> moogman: could you let me know your mplayer version pls?
