[07:49] <biovore> change the login screen on gdm?
[07:49] <Rhisc> yes
[07:49] <biovore> at the login screen isn't there an option to configure gdm
[07:49] <biovore> I swore there was
[07:49] <roryy> Rhisc: system -> administration -> login screen setup
[07:49] <silent> it is possible, to change ubuntu dapper beta to official without reinstalling system?
[07:49] <jadaz87> !tell Dutchy about language
[07:50] <jadaz87> slient yes
[07:50] <Rhisc> roryy: thanks
[07:50] <silent> how? just type few commands?
[07:50] <jadaz87> silent running the upate manager
[07:50] <Dutchy> oh im sorry i said i %^&** up, could you please ignore that work and have a look at my question? :)
[07:50] <Dutchy> word*
[07:51] <gill> soundray, haha, the test print is just ejecting every pice of paper one by one ;-)
[07:51] <krotaz> has anybody installed DRI driver for a Intel 830M chipset, pleas help me!!!   :(
[07:51] <Dutchy> its most likely a simple command but I happen to be clueless
[07:51] <silent> just use update manager to change from beta to official? how it works? it will change all packages in my system or what?
[07:51] <roryy> Dutchy: you left out the [version]  ?
[07:52] <_jason> Dutchy: what part are you on?
[07:52] <jadaz87> silent it will do upgrades/updates just like you get now
[07:52] <biberao> hey
[07:52] <roryy> Dutchy: i'd just to 'ln -sf /opt/gaim[version] /bin/gaim /usr/bin/gaim'
[07:52] <roryy> do, even
[07:52] <Dutchy> the very last command, i left in [version]  which i should have replaced with -2.0.0beta3
[07:52] <biberao> how do i get my dear wireless card on ubuntu get net on it with wpa-sk?
[07:53] <jadaz87> silent just make sure you keep up with the updates during the dapper beta period so there will not be a pileload of updates
[07:53] <Dutchy> roryy, because i already made one incorrect this doesnt work
[07:53] <roryy> Dutchy: -f 'forces' ln to replace the existing one
[07:53] <krotaz> biberao wich chip does your card use???
[07:53] <drbreen> is there a way to disable the automounter for usb drives ?
[07:53] <_jason> Dutchy: sudo ln -fs /opt/gaim[version] /bin/gaim /usr/bin/gaim, but replace it this time :)
[07:53] <jadaz87> silent i upgraded from breezy to dapper :-D
[07:53] <Dutchy> roryy, ah ok thanks, ill try it
[07:53] <biberao> krotaz its a intel proset 2200
[07:53] <silent> update manager will "told me" about official version?
[07:54] <krotaz> biberao have you tried with ndiswrapper????
[07:54] <soundray> gill: at least there's progress ;)
[07:54] <Dr_Willis> drbreen,  i just edit the fstab and mount them manually
[07:55] <gill> soundray, indeed now mtink works and detects the printer and the ink levels but escutill is still dead
[07:55] <biberao> krotaz i just tried with networking thing
[07:55] <biberao> but just got wep
[07:55] <Dutchy> thanks roryy and _jason for the 'f', that worked... now lets hope i remember it for the next time i need to do something like this :)
[07:55] <krotaz> beberao: ok, hold on let me check if your chip is supported by ndiswrapper
[07:56] <biberao> ok thx
[07:57] <soundray> gill: much as I dislike recommending closed software, sometimes the only way to get a (newer) printer working is Turboprint.
[07:57] <drbreen> Dr_Willis: i want to disable automount for i administer a school internet cafe
[07:57] <drbreen> so i do not want people to be able to automount their drives
[07:57] <krotaz> biberao: on the command line put lspci and look for your wireless card
[07:57] <whyami> if I don't use a GUI with my ubuntu, is there a way to know if restart is required after apt-get upgrade?
[07:57] <Dr_Willis> drbreen,  now - thats an interesting idea.
[07:57] <gill> soundray, I think if I can get the correct ppd it might work better, using the generic Epson Stylus ppd might not be so good. at least I know the escutill works to an extent
[07:58] <Dr_Willis> you mean not able to MOUNT their drives at all?
[07:58] <gnomefreak> whyami: more than likely just kernel updates or hal updates since you dont have gui
[07:58] <biberao> krotaz yes its there
[07:58] <krotaz> biberao: are you on a lap top???
[07:58] <biberao> a little far away
[07:58] <biberao> from it
[07:58] <biberao> lol
[07:58] <biberao> but i wrote what you said
[07:58] <biberao> :P
[07:58] <Spofer> Can someone explain to me what's the big deal of compiling drivers & other software to 64-bit cpus?
[07:58] <roryy> whyami: usually an update is only required if you've upgraded the kernel (linux-image-* packages), and perhaps the libc6 package.  Usually the mail advisories say whether or not a system restart is required.
[07:59] <biberao> i cant connect it to wired at the moment
[07:59] <drbreen> Dr_Willis: the problem is whenever a new drive is plugged in, konqueror or whatever on each client pops up a nice little windows stating it could not be opened
[07:59] <biovore> Spofer: differnt architecture..
[07:59] <drbreen> err mounted
[07:59] <whyami> roryy: what are the mail advisories? Is there a way to automate this? Right now it sounds like I have to look at what all the updates are.
[07:59] <gnomefreak> Spofer: alot of apps dont come pre-compilied for 64 bit
[07:59] <krotaz> biberao: the wireless card is pci or comes with your laptop???
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> drbreen,  kde has some feature where you can lockdown almost anything.
[08:00] <drbreen> Dr_Willis: in the end i want to write it into the fstab so they can mount it manually with option "user"
[08:00] <gill> soundray, interestinly gutenprint isn't available via apt-get
[08:00] <roryy> whyami: hrm. i don't know about automating it, sorry. i'll get the mailing list info for you
[08:00] <biberao> krotaz i did lpci and it appeared
[08:00] <Spofer> unless the code has specific calls to memory, what's the problem?
[08:00] <drbreen> Dr_Willis: where is it located ?
[08:00] <biberao> i dont know if its integrated or not
[08:00] <Spofer> what's different in the architecture?
[08:00] <Nafallo> has anyone seen /dev/md0p1? is it supposed to be generated automagically?
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> drbreen,  its a complex topic - ive seen covered in some web sites and a few mags..   kde has a lot of config files you cn tweak.
[08:00] <Dr_Willis> drbreen,  not sure about gnome.
[08:01] <gnomefreak> Spofer: mainly the processer
[08:01] <roryy> whyami: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-security-announce  -- has an archive there
[08:01] <Spofer> can you explain?
[08:01] <gnomefreak> Spofer: most apps for ubuntu are for 32 bit processors
[08:01] <whyami> roryy: I see. Thanks.
[08:02] <soundray> gill: it's probably still called gimp-print in the repos
[08:02] <gnomefreak> Spofer: 32bit= intel processors for most part 64 bit is the amd 64bit pro. and ppc are the mac ones
[08:02] <eod_punk> how do you tell what version of the kernel you have?
[08:02] <Nafallo> gnomefreak: amd64 is up-to-date. not many packages missing, and that's the way it's always been in Ubuntu.
[08:02] <Spofer> gnomefreak: but what's so different? how come you can't just recompile?
[08:02] <biberao> krotaz
[08:02] <biberao> ?
[08:02] <gnomefreak> Nafallo: i beg to differ you still cant get a working flash among other things
[08:02] <eod_punk> soundray: thanks for the help yesterday
[08:02] <gnomefreak> Spofer: re-compile what? the kernel?
[08:02] <soundray> eod_punk: how did you get on?
[08:02] <krotaz> biberao:your chipset is pro/wireless 2200 bg???
[08:03] <immolo> gnomefreak, thats the best part of 64bit no flash
[08:03] <Nafallo> gnomefreak: well, that's the one. the other is OO.o2 :-P.
[08:03] <gnomefreak> lol
[08:03] <Spofer> gnomefreak: the kernel - ok
[08:03] <eod_punk> soundray: i'm on it right now.  just trying to get my wifi card working
[08:03] <biberao> krotaz yes
[08:03] <Nafallo> immolo: word! :-)
[08:03] <roryy> Spofer: 32-bit has been the most common architecture for a long time, and a lot of coders made assumptions about the size of variables (say C's int type) which may not be valid on 64-bit systems. making code '64-bit clean' can be a big effort
[08:04] <gill> soundray, it's insalled, does that means it's an old version? should I download it drectly and compile it?
[08:04] <eod_punk> soundray: is there a command to tell what version of the kernel you have like in DOS?
[08:04] <soundray> eod_punk: uname -a
[08:04] <Nafallo> so, no input on where /dev/md0p1 might be?
[08:04] <eod_punk> soundray: thank you
[08:04] <Spofer> getting drivers for 64bit arch can be really frustrating
[08:04] <drbreen> Dr_Willis: i do not use gnome. kde is waaaaaaaay better than this interface-nazi-thing. for me.
[08:04] <krotaz> biberao: it seems to work (thats what ndiswrapper says,) check this link
[08:05] <krotaz> biberao: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/List#I
[08:05] <gnomefreak> Spofer: your better off running a 32 bit kernel if you can
[08:05] <biberao> see
[08:05] <Spofer> brb
[08:05] <gill> eod_punk, I've never seen that program in DOS ;-)
[08:05] <biberao> i cant download dude
[08:05] <biberao> .P
[08:05] <biberao> i mean i cant do any apt-gets
[08:05] <biberao> .p
[08:05] <eod_punk> i'm trying to fidle with ndiswrapper as well
[08:05] <Dr_Willis> drbreen,  i agree
[08:05] <melot> hello
[08:05] <erUSUL>  /away
[08:05] <soundray> gill: if you feel up to it, sure. If you're conservative, its better to stick with what the repositories provide.
[08:05] <soundray> it's
[08:06] <melot> im having problems on my FWD  and stanaphone account
[08:06] <melot> can anyone help me?
[08:06] <x405> Uh, what kind of help do you need?
[08:07] <Dr_Willis> :0
[08:07] <melot> the software is use is SJphone, somtimes it connects and sometimes it doesnt
[08:07] <melot> when i use the other PC in windows it connects flawlessly
[08:07] <snoopy__89> hi guys, one question, I've just installed Ubuntu I am trying setup some more soft on my comp. I really dont know how can log in as a root on my ubuntu is it necessairly to instal anyth.? am a begining user ... some hints ?
[08:07] <krotaz> biberao: ok, if you go to System--->Administration ----->Network
[08:07] <soundray> !tell snoopy__89 about root
[08:08] <HymnToLife> !tell snoopy__89 about root
[08:08] <Spofer> gnomefreak: what's the deal with flash?
[08:08] <melot> im supecting my ubuntu to have some mapping problems or so
[08:08] <biberao> krotaz
[08:08] <biberao> the problem is
[08:08] <biberao> it doesnt appear
[08:08] <biberao> the WPA option
[08:08] <biberao> its only WEP
[08:08] <x405> melot: Have you checked the packet loss?
[08:08] <soundray> !enter
[08:08] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[08:08] <melot> well im pinging the server well
[08:09] <x405> What's the packet loss at? 0%?
[08:09] <melot> x405: how to check packetloss?
[08:09] <fiendskull9> hey, is synaptic open sourced?
[08:09] <soundray> Spofer: you need 32-bit Firefox to run the Macromedia flash plugin
[08:10] <krotaz> ok so ubuntu detects your card but you have to connect usin WPA intead of WEP???
[08:10] <Oradeanul> i`m having trouble setting up a virtual host on apache ...anyone can help ?
[08:10] <Spofer> but i can't run the 32-bit firefox on the 64-bit ubuntu.... :)
[08:10] <drbreen> finedskull9: i suppose
[08:10] <Spofer> soundray: or can i?
[08:10] <gnomefreak> you can if you run it in chroot iirc
[08:10] <fiendskull9> drbreen, alright, i dont mean all of apt, just the gui PM.
[08:10] <biberao> krotaz yes
[08:10] <soundray> Spofer: you can, but it takes a bit of fiddling.
[08:10] <x405> Open up a console, type in ping and the IP address or domain name of whatever you're having issues with. ie to ping google, you type in: ping google.com
[08:11] <soundray> Spofer: someone reported here that they were able to run the 32-bit version, downloaded direct from mozilla.org
[08:11] <melot> x405 ok saw it...it says %0
[08:11] <soundray> Spofer: the clean way is to set up a 32-bit chroot environment, though
[08:11] <soundray> !chroot
[08:11] <ubotu> well, chroot is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575
[08:11] <Spofer> soundray: just run it? no emulation or anything?
[08:11] <gnomefreak> soundray: sounds like someone had a few too many to drink lol
[08:11] <melot> 5 pockets sent and recieved
[08:11] <melot> packets
[08:11] <x405> melot: Uhm, is this windows?
[08:12] <krotaz> ok let me check the forums because i've never done a connection with wpa but we can learn hold on
[08:12] <gnomefreak> x405: no
[08:12] <melot> x405 ubuntu linux
[08:12] <cT|Binary> Im new to linux, so I have a question, im dual booting windows/ubuntu and should I format the second partition in FAT32?
[08:12] <gnomefreak> cT|Binary: do you have windows installed already?
[08:12] <biberao> ok thx dude
[08:12] <x405> Ah, because I'm running debian, and the ping command keeps pinging untill I stop it.
[08:12] <cT|Binary> yes
[08:12] <drbreen> fiendskull9: http://www.nongnu.org/synaptic/
[08:12] <melot> x405: so am i
[08:12] <gnomefreak> cT|Binary: do you have ubuntu installed already?
[08:12] <cT|Binary> nope
[08:13] <gnomefreak> ah
[08:13] <cT|Binary> :S
[08:13] <gnomefreak> cT|Binary: no dont use fat32 use ext3
[08:13] <gill> heh gcc isn't installed
[08:13] <gleesond> how do I stop ubuntu from overwrighing my /etc/resolv.conf... it trys to auto detect the nameservers but gets the wrong ip's I know the right ip's
[08:13] <cT|Binary> ok thank you
[08:13] <soundray> Spofer: no emulation or anything. You do need some 32-bit libraries I think.
[08:13] <melot> x405: what sip do you use?
[08:13] <gnomefreak> gill: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[08:13] <drbreen> cT|Binary: use reiserfs ;)
[08:13] <CanadianSnow> I think my "tar" is broken
[08:13] <soundray> Spofer: but they may be the same ones that come with Openoffice
[08:13] <gnomefreak> CanadianSnow: how do you figure?
[08:13] <CanadianSnow> !pastebin
[08:13] <ubotu> from memory, pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269
[08:14] <Spofer> soundray: OpenOffice is 32-bit?
[08:14] <gnomefreak> Spofer: yes
[08:14] <gill> gnomefreak, thanks
[08:14] <gnomefreak> gill: yw
[08:14] <Spofer> That's interesting....
[08:14] <gnomefreak> there might be an OOo 64bit
[08:15] <eod_punk> am I correct in thinking that a copy of the kernel source does not get installed from a default inubuntu install?
[08:15] <eod_punk> *ubuntu
[08:15] <HymnToLife> eod_punk> yes you are
[08:15] <gnomefreak> eod_punk: corret
[08:15] <gnomefreak> correct even
[08:15] <gnomefreak> apt can get it though iirc
[08:16] <CanadianSnow> check pastebin just put it in
[08:16] <eod_punk> how would one go about putting one in /usr/src/ ?
[08:16] <gnomefreak> CanadianSnow: can you paste the link?
[08:16] <Oradeanul> i need something.domain.com to go in a directory, but I also want domain.com to go somewhere else ..., domain.com and http://ip are working fine (each in it's own directory) but the subdomain something.domain doesn't want to work, do you want me to paste the lines in apache somewhere?
[08:16] <x405> melot: sip? Sorry. I've spent the last two days dealing with a router from hell.
[08:16] <nono> ??

[08:17] <Drac[Server] > I changed the hostname via the "hostname" command and changed /etc/hosts accordingly. Why has the hostname reverted to the old one? What can I do to permanently change it?
[08:17] <gnomefreak> CanadianSnow: are you cd'ed to wher eyou downloaded the tar?
[08:17] <CanadianSnow> Desktop
[08:17] <gleesond> how do I stop ubuntu from overwrighing my /etc/resolv.conf... it trys to auto detect the nameservers but gets the wrong ip's I know the right ip's
[08:17] <gnomefreak> CanadianSnow: and you cd Desktop before running that command?
[08:17] <krotaz> biberao: wich ubuntu are you using??? breezy, hoary or drapper???
[08:18] <HymnToLife> Dapper, not Drapper ;)
[08:18] <gnomefreak> CanadianSnow: delete the tar and clear your download history and re download the tar (saw this this morning
[08:18] <CanadianSnow> oh wow, thx nm the filename was wrong
[08:18] <gnomefreak> ah
[08:18] <bakert> hey all hi
[08:18] <gnomefreak> CanadianSnow: you can use tab complete
[08:18] <CanadianSnow> caz I have an older downloaded one i guess and it doesn't have the .0.2
[08:18] <gnomefreak> ah
[08:19] <CanadianSnow> tab complete?
[08:19] <x405> Uh, real quick. Anyone have a cheatlist for the codes for the live-cd? I'm booting it on an old desktop...doesn't seem to like the video display. Works fine untill it starts the xserver, then the display looks like a fuzzy TV.
[08:19] <Drac[Server] > CanadianSnow: type a partial filename or path, then hit the tab key.
[08:19] <gnomefreak> CanadianSnow: yes like you do in here type first few letters of it and hit tab button
[08:20] <CanadianSnow> cool thx :P
[08:20] <dj_baggio> hi :)
[08:20] <_jason> x405: it should let you press f1 for a menu I think expert is 'expert' or 'live-expert', something like that...
[08:20] <CanadianSnow> bye people
[08:20] <krotaz> biberao!!!!
[08:20] <biberao> yes pls

[08:20] <krotaz> wich ubuntu are you using??? drapper, hoary or breezy???
[08:20] <Oradeanul> i need something.domain.com to go in a directory, but I also want domain.com to go somewhere else ..., domain.com and http://ip are working fine (each in it's own directory) but the subdomain something.domain doesn't want to work, do you want me to paste the lines in apache somewhere?
[08:20] <melot_> 5.10 breezely
[08:21] <x405> Yeah I know that, but I was just looking for a way to use minimal vga and not try to use any specific drivers, just to trouble shoot.
[08:21] <krotaz> sorry melot I was asking to biberao
[08:21] <pilgrim> I'm trying to setup a secure account in evolution . In the account  editor  in the sending tab I changed "use secure connection " to "always". Now what do I do?

[08:23] <Seveas> Drac[Server] , check /etc/hostname
[08:23] <eod_punk> ok I believe that tar is a compression format but what is the gz?
[08:24] <gnomefreak> gz=gunzip iirc
[08:24] <Seveas> eod_punk, gz is the compression, tar is just putting several files in one file
[08:24] <x405> gz is a compression format, tar just globs the files...Ithink
[08:24] <eod_punk> ahhh ok so i had it backwards
[08:24] <eod_punk> thanks
[08:24] <eod_punk> so much stuff to learn now
[08:25] <tweety> hello
[08:26] <eod_punk> hi tweety
[08:26] <gnomefreak> hi
[08:27] <tweety> i'm looking for some program for ubuntu like MC
[08:27] <gnomefreak> tweety: ubuntu has MC if you mean midnight commander
[08:27] <eod_punk> thanks for all the help everyone i'll be back later i'm sure, i need to go do some manual labor now
[08:27] <tweety> ohh thanks
[08:27] <gnomefreak> !info mc
[08:27] <ubotu> mc: (midnight commander - a powerful file manager), section universe/utils, is optional. Version: 1:4.6.0-4.6.1-pre4-2 (breezy), Packaged size: 2048 kB, Installed size: 5712 kB
[08:28] <gnomefreak> tweety: you need to enable universe repos
[08:28] <PantyTickler> installed automatix with firefox lpugins, but windows media files crash firefox, any suggestions
[08:28] <gnomefreak> PantyTickler: dont use automatix please
[08:28] <gnomefreak> !automatix
[08:28] <ubotu> I heard automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, such as !easyubuntu.
[08:28] <Dr_Willis> Please - just Say no to Automatix
[08:28] <DeepSpaceAnt> hey guys, i have a mysql server running and im trying to connect to it through a program running on a different machine and i get "x.x.x.x is not allowed to connect to this server" - how can i allow all IP's to connect to my mysql server
[08:29] <drbreen> !easyubuntu
[08:29] <ubotu> easyubuntu is an easy-to-use program for installing all your favorites. Java, Nvidia/ATI, and more. It is as safe as the team can make it. It doesn't change any settings by default. http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ or #easyubuntu
[08:29] <PantyTickler> i only used it for java and firefox plugins
[08:29] <Pluk> !bumps
[08:29] <ubotu> Syntax error in line 1. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Pluk
[08:29] <HymnToLife> DeepSpaceAnt> this is lightly offtopic here... read the mysql manual, it's all witen in there
[08:32] <PantyTickler> cause then you have to reconfigure pluginsjava
[08:32] <gnomefreak> you do? i never had to configure plug ins for java
[08:32] <slyguy> anyone know the default root password on oem dapper drake 6.06 ???
[08:32] <PantyTickler> plugins for firefox
[08:32] <gnomefreak> slyguy: your user password
[08:33] <gnomefreak> PantyTickler: no you dont
[08:33] <Spofer> how do i make the x reload the xorg.conf file?
[08:33] <richard_> hi
[08:33] <Flannel> !tell slyguy about root
[08:33] <richard_> hi can anyone tell me how to make a trashcan?
[08:33] <slyguy> and what if that isn't working?
[08:33] <PantyTickler> well doesnt matter cause automatix saved the hassle
[08:33] <HymnToLife> Spofer> Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
[08:34] <slyguy> Flannel: there's not anything else to try?
[08:34] <Flannel> PantyTickler: automatix is a horrible idea.
[08:34] <_jason> richard_: there should be one in your panel, if it got removed just right click on the panel > add to panel and select trash can
[08:34] <Flannel> slyguy: there is no root password.
[08:34] <schultzi> ok, im on a livecd now, and i need to mount /dev/hda3 somewhere so i can copy live cd files to it, but when i try to mount it in a directory that i specify, it wont mount, can anyone help?
[08:34] <HymnToLife> PantyTickler> if you don't want any hassle, go back to Windows...
[08:34] <PantyTickler> seems to work fine for me
[08:34] <Flannel> !automatix
[08:34] <ubotu> I guess automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, such as !easyubuntu.
[08:34] <gnomefreak> PantyTickler: we dont deal with automatix i would talk to arnieboy (the person who wrote it)
[08:34] <drbreen> schultzi: use sudo
[08:34] <slyguy> !automatix
[08:34] <Flannel> use EasyUbuntu next time
[08:34] <whiteshadow> quit
[08:34] <drbreen> sudo mount /dev/stuff /stuff
[08:34] <schultzi> drbreen: i am
[08:35] <salpta> is this a good place for a general question, or is there a better channel for a question concerning apt-get?
[08:35] <linuxgeekery> !tell schultzi about mount
[08:35] <HymnToLife> you can ask here salpta
[08:35] <_richard> anyone know where the trashcan folder is?
[08:35] <_richard> or make a new trashcon on panel?
[08:35] <_richard> *trashcan
[08:35] <gnomefreak> _richard: ~/.trash i think
[08:35] <gnomefreak> _richard: right click panel and add trashcan
[08:36] <salpta> ok then, How do I keep apt-get from trying to search the install cd when trying to upgrade certain packages?
[08:36] <linuxgeekery> _richard: right click, add to panel, trash
[08:36] <gnomefreak> right click panel add to panel than trashcan
[08:36] <_richard> theres only add to panel
[08:36] <gnomefreak> or trash
[08:36] <gnomefreak> _richard: after you click add to panel
[08:36] <linuxgeekery> salpta: remove it from /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:36] <_richard> theres no trashcan
[08:36] <gnomefreak> or just put a # infront of it
[08:36] <_richard> to add on
[08:36] <linuxgeekery> salpta: I think you can also do that from synaptic, but I never use synaptic
[08:36] <salpta> thats just it, it isnt in the list but its still saying to insert the disk.
[08:37] <drbreen> but there has to be a trashcan ?
[08:37] <gnomefreak> _richard: wastebasket
[08:37] <slyguy> flannel: I had to set my current pass to something else and then change the root
[08:37] <drbreen> ah!
[08:37] <_richard> nope
[08:37] <_richard> no wastebasket
[08:37] <gnomefreak> ummmmmmm i was just in there
[08:37] <_richard> nvm
[08:37] <_richard> got it
[08:37] <_richard> thanks
[08:37] <_richard> guys
[08:37] <drbreen> _richard: what have you done to mess this up ?
[08:37] <Madpilot> !enter
[08:37] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[08:37] <Flannel> slyguy: I don't believe you.  Unless you've changed something.  ask in #ubuntu+1 (I presume youre on dapper) if theres a bug regarding it or not.
[08:37] <_richard> i accidnetally delteted the default panel
[08:38] <_richard> its cool now thanks
[08:38] <_richard> another problem
[08:38] <_richard> does anyone know how to restart the script for svn for amarocK?
[08:38] <gnomefreak> _richard: please say a full line stop hitting enter after every word or two
[08:39] <Madpilot> gnomefreak, saw you were going for membership - cool! Good luck.
[08:39] <gnomefreak> ty Madpilot
[08:40] <marcus_> hi
[08:40] <slyguy> Flannel: I don't know but now it works...
[08:40] <esor> czym sie rozni automatix od easyubuntu?
[08:41] <Flannel> esor: easyubuntu, although I don't understand the question.
[08:41] <esor> ups sry wrong window
[08:41] <esor> !!
[08:41] <ubotu> esor: parse error: Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[08:41] <Belkin> !mplayer
[08:41] <ubotu> somebody said mplayer was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MplayerInstallHowto  For compiling, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31061
[08:41] <esor> I mean what Is difference between Automatix and EasyUbuntu
[08:42] <_richard> does anyone know how to resrt the script for amarocK?
[08:42] <jramsey> how can i display the version of binutils i have installed?
[08:43] <Flannel> esor: if you go to the easyUbuntu page, they have a comparison
[08:43] <gnomefreak> esor: easyubuntu is written and maintained by ubuntu members afaik and automatix is writtena nd maintained (if maintained) by a single user who doesnt even support it if you have an issue
[08:43] <gnomefreak> oh and the way the code is ran
[08:44] <esor> ty ;)
[08:44] <Belkin> xchat doesnt start it says " Segmentation fault " any ideea ?
[08:44] <Drac[Server] > How do you change the controls in fceu?
[08:44] <Varios> I'm looking to install a new splash screen.  I looked at the wiki, and it said that the PNG must be 640 x 480 16 colors.  Is this  rule set in stone?
[08:44] <gnomefreak> jramsey: apt-cache policy program name
[08:45] <jramsey> gnomefreak, ty
[08:45] <gnomefreak> Varios: i wouold say yes since the word must is used
[08:45] <ubuntu> r there anyone writes in turkish
[08:45] <gnomefreak> jramsey: yw
[08:45] <PantyTickler> okay lets start the kde vs gnome argument...:P
[08:45] <gnomefreak> jramsey: you might beable to do binutil --version
[08:45] <gnomefreak> or somethng like that
[08:46] <gnomefreak> PantyTickler: join #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[08:46] <PantyTickler> i was kidding
[08:46] <HymnToLife> both suck anyway, whoo needs GUIq ? :p
[08:46] <HymnToLife> GUIs*
[08:46] <jramsey> gnomefreak, i also saw ld -v but the apt-cache seems like the more consistent way across all installed pkgs; and i did try binutil -v but it's a collection of utilities so apt-cache is the way to go
[08:46] <x405> People who like to run more than one program at a time?
[08:47] <Belkin> xchat doesnt start it just flash the screen and then its quit ... it says " Segmentation fault " any ideea ?
[08:47] <Dr_Willis> Belkin,  which is to say.. "its crashing" :P
[08:47] <x405> Belkin: Messed up settings?
[08:47] <HymnToLife> x405> you know you can run multiple comand lines at a time, just press Crtl+Alt+F(1~9) ;)
[08:47] <Belkin> x405 i didnt touch anything
[08:48] <gnomefreak> Belkin: try sudo apt-get install --reinstall xchat
[08:48] <eugman> Anyone know all the programs that can open .dar files?
[08:48] <x405> Yeah...but keeping track of which virtual console has which program...not all that fun...
[08:48] <gnomefreak> eugman: dar files?
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> eugman,  i cant say that ive ever seen a .dar file befor
[08:48] <Papageno> How do I determine what my network card's MAC is?
[08:48] <x405> papa: ifconfig
[08:48] <gnomefreak> Papageno: ifconfig
[08:48] <Dr_Willis> ifconfig shows it i think
[08:48] <haakonn_> ifconfig -a
[08:49] <gnomefreak> eugman: do you mean tar files?
[08:49] <Papageno> Thanks!
[08:49] <x405> Look for 'HWaddr'
[08:49] <eugman> nope
[08:49] <Belkin> gnomefreak thanks ... trying
[08:49] <eugman> Kdar makes .dar files
[08:49] <haakonn_> oh, -a is only necessary on windows, never mind :)
[08:49] <Belkin> gnomefreak same thing
[08:49] <gnomefreak> dont know what kdar is but if it makes them it should beable to open them
[08:50] <Belkin> yeah it should
[08:50] <eugman> It can but as far as I know the only program that can open then on windows is dar.
[08:50] <holysmoke> whats the best way to add a second storage drive to fstab?
[08:50] <gnomefreak> Belkin: sudo apt-get remove --purge xchat  than sudo apt-get install xchat
[08:50] <holysmoke> my computer sees the draive as hdb1 but I cant mount it
[08:51] <eugman> dar is command line and I perfer gui unarchivers when possible.
[08:51] <Drac[Server] > Doesn't ANYONE know how to configure fceultra?!
[08:51] <gnomefreak> eugman: im gonna go out on a limb and say ubuntu doesnt deal with dar files
[08:51] <x405> Ugg...okay, I'm having some problems booting a livecd on an older desktop, the display is...well...pretty glitchy.
[08:51] <Papageno> How do I tell Ubuntu to reset its network connections and re-setup through the DHCP?
[08:51] <x405> Looks like a combination of abstract art and a fuzzy tv.
[08:52] <nomike> hi
[08:52] <x405> The CD just booted perfectly on an alternate computer, and widows 2000 works fine on the one that's giving problems.
[08:52] <nomike> I could not get java in opera 9 working (dapper)
[08:52] <eugman> gnomefreak , in what way do you mean? That it's really out of the mainstream or do you mean something else?
[08:52] <nomike> could you please help me
[08:52] <Drac[Server] > I'm going nuts, here.
[08:53] <gnomefreak> eugman: im willing to bet there isnt a program for ubuntu to open dar files or make them
[08:53] <HymnToLife> x405> maybe it's using a resolution higher thn the minitor can support
[08:54] <x405> Hymn, I tried it at 800x600 in 16 bit...in 2000 it works fine at the 1280xwhatever setting at 24 bit.
[08:54] <Drac[Server] > Doesn't anyone use emulators on Linux anymore?! D:
[08:54] <x405> Drac, have you read the man pages?
[08:54] <Drac[Server] > x405: Yes. They're useless.

[08:54] <gill> Totem could not start: The video output is in use by another application
[08:55] <freemanen> is there anyway to get linux games that requiers direct x 9 to work in linux with wine?
[08:55] <gill> no idea what is using the video output ..,.
[08:55] <oblib> I can't figure out what I set my samba password as (or if I even did). How can I reset it or remove it?
[08:55] <x405> freeman: There's a thing called cedega.
[08:55] <x405> It's basically a commercial port of wine.
[08:55] <x405> Works better, but you have to pay for it.
[08:55] <gill> x405, damn BSD licence has ruined wine
[08:56] <oblib> yeah, we would be better off without any gaming alternatives </sarcasm>
[08:56] <x405> Check it out at http://www.transgaming.com/ there's a free two week trial.
[08:57] <freemanen> oki thanks
[08:57] <jramsey> Papageno, do u have dhcp-client installed?
[08:57] <gill> oblib, we would be better if people could honour their source code by not making money out of someone elses work, do you think any of the wine companies would have a product at all without the original wine?
[08:58] <gill> oblib, at the very least give some of the code back to the original project, if not run your business on a suport modle
[08:59] <eugman> sbackup doesn't do archiving , correct?
[08:59] <PantyTickler> has the GPL actually ever been held up in court
[08:59] <gill> PantyTickler, yes check out the FSF website, they use the terms in court all the time
[09:00] <oblib> gill, yes of course that would be nice, but I doubt without transgaming we would have any good game version of Wine. I don't subscribe by the way.
[09:00] <Drac[Server] > x405: AHA!  README files are so much more useful. I found what I need.
[09:01] <Mesh> is this the german or english channel?
[09:01] <oblib> I can't figure out what I set my samba password as (or if I even did). How can I reset it or remove it?
[09:01] <gnomefreak> english
[09:01] <nomike> Mesh: german one is #ubuntu.de
[09:01] <PantyTickler> kew
[09:01] <x405> Mesh: Ach lebershun der vonch!
[09:01] <Mesh> thanks!
[09:02] <x405> I have no clue what I said...
[09:02] <bosco> so has anyone messed with the timeout of sudo
[09:02] <gill> oblib, I'm not against business making money out of OSS per say, but I'd rather they would play fair, forking free software into propritory is not moraly right, even if it is legal.
[09:02] <nomike> x405: at least it's not german
[09:02] <PantyTickler> you said your wife has huge pink nipples
[09:02] <LetsSurf> hello all
[09:03] <LetsSurf> how do I upgrade Ubuntu BB to Ubuntu DD
[09:03] <gnomefreak> gill: PantyTickler please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:03] <LetsSurf> ?
[09:03] <oblib> can anyone help me?
[09:03] <bosco> oblib, on what?
[09:03] <gnomefreak> LetsSurf: change the sources to point to dapper instead of breezy and run sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[09:04] <oblib> I can't figure out what I set my samba password as (or if I even did). How can I reset it or remove it?
[09:04] <LetsSurf> gnomefreak: thanks ;)
[09:04] <gnomefreak> LetsSurf: for more in depth look please join #ubuntu+1
[09:04] <HymnToLife> oblib> sudo smbpasswd -a username
[09:04] <sklav> hey guys whats the name of a personal finance software on linux?
[09:04] <bosco> oblib, your sudo password
[09:04] <gill> gnucsh
[09:04] <PantyTickler> oblib: uninstall reinstall
[09:04] <gill> gnucash rather
[09:04] <HymnToLife> sklav> GNUCash if I remember well
[09:04] <gnomefreak> LetsSurf: before you do any of that please install ubuntu-desktop
[09:04] <sklav> thanks HymnToLife
[09:05] <sklav> that is what i was looking for
[09:05] <sklav> i was thinking gnumeric
[09:05] <sklav> but that was not it
[09:05] <sklav> ;)
[09:05] <eugman> I want to do full system archive backups on my computer. Do I have any options?
[09:05] <LetsSurf> gnomefreak: ok will do that first
[09:05] <bosco> oblib, you best bet is to do a complete reinstall
[09:06] <amonkey> how can i play a folder like a dvd? all the vobs and what not are in the folder.
[09:06] <oblib> HymnToLife, it says Sorry, try again
[09:06] <sklav> amonkey, try xine or mplayer
[09:06] <gnomefreak> !dvd
[09:06] <ubotu> DVD playing is possible in ubuntu. You may need libdvdcss2, which is available via http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages (section extras)
[09:07] <oblib> bosco, isn't there an easy way to require no authentication?
[09:07] <LetsSurf> I'm so impressed with ubuntu, taken xp of my laptop and now working with ubuntu :)
[09:07] <amonkey> sklav, i know i can watch a dvd with those programs when it's on a disk, but i can't get it to use a folder with vobs in it
[09:07] <LetsSurf> just managed to get wlan working on it, wasn't easiest thing in the world with wpa etc but get it works now :)
[09:07] <sklav> that im not sure
[09:07] <sklav> but i would assume so
[09:08] <kbrooks> hmm
[09:08] <bosco> oblib, well i dont know on that one i have never had to do that i always new my sudo password but just take everything you need and put it on an external and then reinstall
[09:08] <jramsey> how often is /var/log/syslog created? if it is daily, how many days of syslogs are kept? is this configurable?
[09:09] <oblib> bosco, so you use your sudo password when you log on to share from Windows?
[09:09] <william__> is there any way I can make a bash script input my password? i have a script that needs to be run in root but I don't want to type in my password everytime
[09:10] <sklav> willian try running it thre cron if possible as user root
[09:10] <x405> chmod it to suid.
[09:10] <LetsSurf> brb reboot, fingers crossed
[09:10] <oblib> william__, have you ever worked with your sudoers file?
[09:10] <william__> i don't know what a sudoers file is so no.
[09:10] <x405> Try chown'ing the file to root, then chmod it +s.
[09:10] <bosco> oblib, you best bet is to install vmware on that one i dont know aobut that one but if you can let me know
[09:11] <x405> The file will run with root permission no matter who runs it.
[09:11] <bosco> oblib, and try and boot your windows partition inside of windows
[09:11] <william__> how do i chown something
[09:11] <bosco> oblib,  my bad inside of linux
[09:11] <oblib> bosco, ? I am sharing ubuntu files with a windows computer over the network
[09:11] <bosco> oblib, well then thta is possible
[09:11] <x405> As root: chown root file
[09:12] <edgardpacheco> Hello everybody :)
[09:12] <x405> So, if the file is named hello, you type: chown root hello
[09:12] <jramsey> william__, sudo chown rood fname
[09:12] <jramsey> root
[09:12] <edgardpacheco> what does the "chown" command do?
[09:12] <bosco> oblib once in windows no root password should be required
[09:12] <sklav> chown = change ownership
[09:13] <edgardpacheco> oh
[09:13] <oblib> william__, the sudoers file allows you to execute a file without typing your password everytime
[09:13] <edgardpacheco> thanks
[09:13] <jramsey> edgardpacheco, changes file owner
[09:13] <bosco> brb everyone
[09:13] <edgardpacheco> :)
[09:13] <x405> Then you want to chmod it.
[09:13] <oblib> bosco, that's the problem, it's asking for a password in Windows
[09:13] <x405> chmod +s file
[09:13] <x405> chmod +x file
[09:13] <sklav> sudo user filename will ask for a password even on my system
[09:14] <william__> the chown thing worked, thank you very much jramsey
[09:14] <jramsey> william__, np
[09:14] <oblib> william__, if your script is "/usr/bin/hello" than putting this line in /etc/sudoers will let you run it without a password:   [yourusername]  ALL= PASSWD:ALL, NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/hello
[09:14] <oblib> mine has this for example
[09:14] <oblib> %admin ALL= PASSWD:ALL, NOPASSWD:/sbin/halt
[09:15] <oblib> that lets everyone in the admin group run halt without a password.
[09:15] <whiter> !java
[09:15] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[09:15] <bosco> oblib, well then put it back in linux and put it back as non  root
[09:15] <william__> oh ok. thanks everyone.

[09:19] <gymsmoke> anyone tried the global search and replace in vi on Ubuntu 5.10 ?
[09:19] <odat> hi everyone
[09:19] <gymsmoke> it doesn't seem to work!
[09:20] <gymsmoke> :s/old/new/g - says "Pattern not found: old"
[09:20] <gaatmx> hi there: Could someone please direct me to the  dapper support chanel?
[09:20] <gymsmoke> but /old - goes right to the first occurrence
[09:20] <LetsSurf> I'm trying to install VLC, i've added universe my sources.list, but when I try to install I get some errors, vlc: Depends: libavahi-client3 (>= 0.6.0) but it is not installable
[09:20] <gnomefreak> gaatmx: #ubuntu+1 for dapper
[09:20] <oblib> jramsey, like this:
[09:21] <oblib> hold on
[09:21] <oblib> jramsey ALL= NOPASSWD:ALL
[09:21] <oblib> I think
[09:21] <oblib> Definitely not recommended though.
[09:22] <jramsey> oblib, is the first ALL for all machines? i see it seems to be a machine name in the INFO pages
[09:22] <oblib> you aren't the root user for a reason, and one of those reasons is system security
[09:22] <oblib> jramsey, I'm not sure, I think I got mine off the internet.
[09:23] <jramsey> oblib, yeah it took some getting used to where ubuntu doesnt really have a root user; i am used to being root but it is safer the way ubuntu does it
[09:23] <gymsmoke> yep - this is a bug
[09:23] <nice> nalioth are you here?
[09:23] <oblib> jramsey, really once the system is set up, you shouldn't need to sudo that much anyway. I ended up adding the things that still come up often. It looks like this:

[09:25] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: thanks... vi is broke in Ubuntu
[09:25] <jramsey> oblib, ty

[09:25] <gnomefreak> gymsmoke: iirc there is one or 2 already
[09:25] <grey> jramsey, evolution will download mail from your comcast inbox or not?
[09:26] <LetsSurf> wheres the best place to get themes from ?
[09:26] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: searching for "vi search and replace" none found... guess not too many people use vi any more
[09:26] <gnomefreak> gnome-look.org or art.gnome.com  LetsSurf
[09:26] <Spec> How can I find out what's "using" my entropy? :-/
[09:26] <biovore> (evolution should be able to download from a comcast pop box)
[09:26] <jramsey> grey, yeah inbox is fine; i cannot send but i know it is because i've the settings wrong ... i have encryption enabled and i am unsure .. comcast web site is useless
[09:26] <LetsSurf> gnomefreak: thanks
[09:26] <gnomefreak> biovore: check under vim since vi isnt in ubuntu
[09:27] <LetsSurf> anyone one have any idea why VLC, is failing to install for me ?? vlc: Depends: libavahi-client3 (>= 0.6.0) but it is not installable
[09:27] <gnomefreak> sorry not biovore  i meant gymsmoke
[09:27] <x405> Lets, are you using apt/dpkg?
[09:27] <morgoth666> why
[09:27] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: ok
[09:27] <bliss_> hi
[09:27] <biovore> jramsey: I don't think comcast runs ssl
[09:27] <andres_> hi
[09:28] <grey> jramsey, have you seen http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/index.jsp?faq=EmailOutlook_Express17686 ?  You can follow most settings for evolution
[09:28] <LetsSurf> x405: apt
[09:28] <morgoth666> why
[09:28] <x405> Lets: When was the last time you did apt-get update?
[09:28] <LetsSurf> x405: 5mins ago
[09:28] <jramsey> biovore, i am unsure ... grey i called comcast "high quality tech support" and they said :) "we don't support full Outlook only Outlook express" so i will go cherry pick my full Outlook settings and see if that works but i went thru this once already
[09:28] <gnomefreak> LetsSurf: maybe enable multiverse
[09:29] <x405> Hmm, odd.
[09:29] <morgoth666> why
[09:29] <Spec> do dns servers use random?
[09:29] <gnomefreak> morgoth666: ok you can stop that now
[09:29] <LetsSurf> gnomefreak: that different that universe I asume
[09:29] <gnomefreak> LetsSurf: yes
[09:29] <grey> jramsey, there doesn't seem to be any special security settings for comcast's outgoing smtp server.  you should be able to use smtp.comcast.net for outgoing
[09:29] <gnomefreak> LetsSurf: on the lines that end in universe add a space and type multiverse
[09:30] <gymsmoke> jramsey: time for a new isp
[09:30] <bliss_> i am in a liveCD as i cannot boot into my ubuntu desktop
[09:31] <moparfan90> hello. whats the command to start apache?
[09:31] <jramsey> grey the Use Secure Connection checkbox throws me because it isn't in Outlook and i'm not sure about the Authentication Type
[09:31] <andres_> ubuntu_es
[09:31] <dereks> moparfan90: /etc/init.d/httpd start
[09:31] <HymnToLife> moparfan90> if it is installed it shoul run on bootup
[09:31] <dereks> i believe
[09:32] <HymnToLife> but sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start should do the trick if it doesn't for some reason
[09:32] <jramsey> gymsmoke, if comcast cannot get their cable access more reliable (it goes down on a daily basis) i am going
[09:32] <moparfan90> dereks, no such file or directory
[09:32] <eugman> Is there a trivial way to have a full system backup to which an installation can be rolled back to?
[09:32] <dereks> moparfan90: then do that but instead of httpd do apache2
[09:32] <moparfan90> o0k
[09:33] <grey> jramsey try "never"
[09:33] <sharpy> how do install a package again with apt-get install? i pressed control c by mistake..

[09:33] <morgoth666> why
[09:33] <nansub0111> hello all. each time I do an update. the syntaptic update manager tells me it can not update totem. has anyone had a similar problem and do u know how to fix it?
[09:33] <grey> sharpy dpkg --configure -a, I think
[09:33] <morgoth666> why
[09:33] <HymnToLife> holysmoke> sudo mkdit /path/to/mount/point
[09:33] <HymnToLife> mkdir*
[09:33] <holysmoke> thanks
[09:33] <gnomefreak> dpkg has nothing to do with apt-get
[09:33] <morgoth666> why
[09:33] <HymnToLife> damn
[09:34] <dereks> nansub0111: are you sure there is an update?
[09:34] <HymnToLife> bielstien or wharver the hell his nick was changed his nick
[09:34] <grey> if installation is interrupted dpkg will finish configuring packages
[09:34] <gnomefreak> morgoth666: please stop saying hi its spamming and annoying
[09:34] <morgoth666> why
[09:34] <biovore> jramsey: comcast don't support anything

[09:35] <biovore> jramsey: I had thunderbird doing..  I think all it is a pop, plain text
[09:35] <grey> jramsey, ok, i thought the problem was with outgoing mail.  we need to reconfigure your incoming mail
[09:35] <x405> Maaan...
[09:35] <morgoth666> why
[09:35] <holysmoke> thanks
[09:36] <jramsey> ok so i have the authentication type as Login; is that correct?
[09:36] <LetsSurf> x405: gnomefreak: still the same error on multiserve, can I install vlc using a different method ?
[09:36] <gymsmoke> nice! i report a bug at launchpad, and get "an error occurred"
[09:36] <gnomefreak> LetsSurf: multiverse?
[09:36] <plipo> #ubuntu-nl
[09:36] <jramsey> gymsmoke, hehehe bug in the bug reporter
[09:36] <gnomefreak> gymsmoke: what is the error?
[09:36] <grey> jramsey, what's the security setting for POP (incoming mail)?
[09:36] <buckwild> can anyone think of why doing a manual mount when you get into linux would work given the same parameters
[09:36] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: "an error occurred"
[09:37] <gnomefreak> gymsmoke: they have been working thier buts off on launchpad
[09:37] <buckwild> but for some reason doesn't work automatically in /etc/fstab
[09:37] <zF> Can someone give me the syntax to run a jar file?
[09:37] <jramsey> grey, Always ... i tried whenever possible and never ... maybe i've two settings wrong and am chasing my tail
[09:37] <gnomefreak> gymsmoke: iirc there is a bug on that lol
[09:37] <gnomefreak> zF: jar file.jar
[09:37] <holysmoke> now how do I get my regular user to have permissions to mount that drive?
[09:37] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: so you can't report bugs because the bug reporter has a bug... hehe

[09:38] <senjin> are there any good documentation on instaling nvidia forcewere for ubuntu?
[09:38] <LetsSurf> gnomefreak: sorry yeah, did spell it right in my sources.list, I just double checked
[09:38] <nmoore> i have changed from using a swap partition to a swap file, does anyone know how I can get software suspend to pick up the data in this swap when i turn back on?
[09:39] <Seveas> zF, java -jar bla.jar
[09:39] <zF> Seveas, thanks, just found it in google as well.
[09:39] <gnomefreak> LetsSurf: can you please paste your /etc/apt/sources.list file to pastebin
[09:40] <zF> Seveas, I got this error: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: org/apache/log4j/Layout

[09:40] <zF> Seveas, I don't see it.
[09:41] <buckwild> I dont know why I can do a mount command with the same parameters once I'm in linux, but the mounts can't mount automatically
[09:41] <buckwild> that makes zero sense
[09:41] <Seveas> zF, it's not there - hang on
[09:41] <zF> and I have universe/multiverse.
[09:41] <buckwild> anyone have any clue about this?

[09:41] <raptros-v76> ?
[09:41] <random_guy> ubuntu on a mac
[09:41] <grey> jramsey, so your "recieving email" tab has "POP" selected, with server "mail.comcast.net" and whatever your username is, with "use secure connection" set to never?
[09:42] <Seveas> random_guy, sure
[09:42] <gnomefreak> maybe it was mailing list i read that on :(
[09:42] <zF> Seveas, already the newest version :(
[09:42] <raptros-v76> random_guy: whats the question?
[09:42] <random_guy> cool, so i got a g3 ibook and i want to use the vga output plug for an external monitor
[09:42] <Determinist> Seveas, may i pm please?
[09:42] <zF> I didn't change a single thing on this machine, I dunno why this suddenly wouldn't work anymore
[09:42] <LetsSurf> gnomefreak: http://pastebin.com/689123
[09:42] <Seveas> Determinist, sure, no need to ask
[09:43] <Determinist> Seveas, yeah well, might as well be polite :)
[09:43] <Seveas> Determinist, you'd be the first ;)
[09:43] <gnomefreak> gymsmoke: not real sure i think i read it on mailing lists
[09:43] <random_guy> the external monitor is not picked up by hardware detection
[09:43] <ubuntu> hi
[09:43] <raptros-v76> random_guy: guess what? i use an acer (originally a windows running thing) and i have exactly the same problem
[09:43] <WK|Dutchy> tbh Seveas most tech channels have a 'the channel works fine' policy, so thats why he asked :)
[09:43] <zF> Hrmmm. Seveas, I just ran ./restartScript
[09:43] <random_guy> and i dont know how to write an xorg.conf monitor entry well
[09:44] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: strange... i just re-installed vi (i'm on a server, so i don't have any gewey's)... and now it's working...
[09:44] <zF> and Azureus launched. lol.
[09:44] <raptros-v76> random_guy: i have no idea what drivers oen would need
[09:44] <random_guy> ok thanks anyway
[09:44] <raptros-v76> random_guy: maybe gnomefreak knows
[09:44] <sharpy> my version of firefox in ubuntu is 1.0.8 ... how can I upgrade it to 1.5.x?
[09:44] <gnomefreak> LetsSurf: put a # infront of the deb cdrom repo and than take the # away from the other repos except the sarge ones (debian repos are bad in ubuntu)
[09:44] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: i know that vi uses sed syntax, so who knows... maybe a lib was borked along the way the first time
[09:44] <gnomefreak> raptros-v76: what do i know?
[09:44] <polpak> !tell sharpy about ff1.5
[09:45] <random_guy> how to use external monitor on a g3 ibook
[09:45] <gnomefreak> gymsmoke: your on breezy right?
[09:45] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: (i'm not big on giving developers stupid things to track down)
[09:45] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: yeah
[09:45] <raptros-v76> gnomefreak: how to get a vga port to work
[09:45] <gnomefreak> gymsmoke: if it doesnt work it needs to be fixed
[09:45] <gnomefreak> raptros-v76: not a clue sorry
[09:45] <random_guy> oh ya by the way the command line does show up
[09:45] <polpak> raptros-v76: what video driver are you using?
[09:45] <random_guy> but x wont start
[09:46] <random_guy> so that would mean it just needs some xorg.conf settings right?
[09:46] <polpak> random_guy: yes
[09:46] <raptros-v76> it also needs drivers
[09:46] <raptros-v76> ?
[09:46] <gnomefreak> there is a vga driver in xorg i thought
[09:46] <jramsey> grey, got it!!  found it here => http://support.easystreet.com/software/evolution/evolution.html
[09:46] <polpak> gnomefreak: there is
[09:46] <raptros-v76> is there?
[09:46] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: agreed.  but forcing the reinstall worked... so i can't really say that it's repeatable... either a lib got borked, or a dep that wasn't met the first time (which isn't uncommon in ubuntu)
[09:46] <raptros-v76> polpak: is there a way to set it to autodetect?
[09:46] <ubuntu> having a small problem booting into ubuntu desktop, [4294672.005000]  pnp: PnPACPI:METHOD_NAME_CRS failure for pnp0c01  taarget filesystem does not have  /sbin/int
[09:47] <gnomefreak> gymsmoke: forcing is not really something i ever do :(
[09:47] <LetsSurf> gnomefreak: sorry but still getting the same error
[09:47] <grey> jramsey, great hope it works
[09:47] <Joetheodd> hey how can I take a few minutes out of a MPG file and put it into a new one?
[09:47] <jramsey> grey, i just sent/rcvd email ... ty!
[09:47] <polpak> random_guy: is X starting at all? or dos it just crash?
[09:47] <random_guy> it crashes
[09:47] <random_guy> it tries to start and cant
[09:47] <Xenguy> Joetheodd: audacity  ?
[09:47] <gymsmoke> gnomefreak: i wasn't sure where vi is to un-install it first... my fear was that it's part of the base (not something i can uninstall remotely)
[09:47] <gnomefreak> LetsSurf: did you sudo apt-get update
[09:47] <x405> random: What chipset did you specify?
[09:47] <LetsSurf> gnomefreak: yes :)
[09:48] <random_guy> i get a blue screen that says it cant start
[09:48] <Xenguy> Joetheodd: that might be just audio, hrm
[09:48] <gnomefreak> gymsmoke: its not a lib it should beable to be uninstalled
[09:48] <raptros-v76> polpak: is there a way to get xorg to autodetect on the vga port?
[09:48] <random_guy> hmmm i didnt specify one
[09:48] <raptros-v76> me?
[09:48] <Xenguy> Joetheodd: you need video editor (apt-cache search video |grep editor)  ?
[09:48] <polpak> raptros-v76: generally you have to configure xserver to display on the other port
[09:48] <ubuntu> DBO: Any ideas please
[09:49] <random_guy> raptros you dont even get a command line?
[09:49] <Joetheodd> xenguy ok
[09:49] <gnomefreak> LetsSurf: looks like your missing a very inporant repo like the deb main repo
[09:49] <gnomefreak> important even
[09:49] <livingdaylight> hi, I have a gz archive on cd and i don't know how to extract or unzip it
[09:49] <random_guy> could i possibly copy the monitor section generated by my desktop on the same monitor and copy it to the ibook's xorg.conf?
[09:49] <livingdaylight> it is in /media/cdrom1
[09:50] <raptros-v76> random_guy: no, ive got everything working, im just asking about someting
[09:50] <polpak> livingdaylight: tar -xzvf /media/cdrom1/file
[09:50] <livingdaylight> polpak, i'll try that
[09:50] <polpak> livingdaylight: unless it's not a tarfile, in which case you can gunzip it
[09:50] <raptros-v76> random_guy: it depends
[09:50] <raptros-v76> random_guy: what is the setup you have?
[09:50] <ubuntu> having a small problem booting into ubuntu desktop, [4294672.005000]  pnp: PnPACPI:METHOD_NAME_CRS failure for pnp0c01  taarget filesystem does not have  /sbin/int

[09:51] <smok3_> q: a step-by-step guide on how to install kubuntu on my external usb drive (386 version that is)?
[09:51] <jramsey> grey is there an evolution setting to have it start automatically when ubuntu boots and i log in?
[09:51] <random_guy> well i got the ibook and the pc desktop, the pc uses linux and can use the monitor but the ibook cant
[09:51] <livingdaylight> polpak: MIME type: application/x-gzip
[09:51] <gnomefreak> LetsSurf: feel free to add your country code but not really needed
[09:51] <raptros-v76> but the ibook works on its own moniter?
[09:51] <grey> jramsey you can set it as a session in GNOME
[09:51] <random_guy> so both systems on same monitor
[09:52] <livingdaylight> polpak: type it says is gzip archive?
[09:52] <random_guy> well yes it works on its own monitor but backlight is breaking
[09:52] <polpak> livingdaylight: did you use tar?
[09:52] <jramsey> grey, u mean when i log out check the save session with evolution running and it'll start henceforth?
[09:52] <raptros-v76> random_guy: ibooks are laptops, right? does it work on its own moniter?
[09:53] <raptros-v76> oh, just realized u answered my question
[09:53] <random_guy> ya it works with its own monitor
[09:53] <grey> jramsey you could probably do it that way
[09:53] <ubuntu> i cannot reinstall as to much info will be lost
[09:53] <raptros-v76> ok, so you need it to display on the other moniter
[09:53] <random_guy> but i would rather get rid of tht entry and only use external
[09:53] <raptros-v76> and the ibook runs ubuntu?
[09:53] <grey> jramsey or run gnome-session-properties, go to the startup programs and add the progam "evolution --component=mail" minus the quotes, of course
[09:53] <random_guy> yes it does
[09:53] <asdasdasd> jest kto z polski??
[09:54] <livingdaylight> polpak: yea, used tar but its not worked, command line is going crazy
[09:54] <random_guy> i have it in live mode, it doesnt detect monitor
[09:54] <ubuntu> raptros-v76: ibook?
[09:54] <polpak> livingdaylight: did it give an error?
[09:54] <smok3_> q: a step-by-step guide on how to install kubuntu on my external usb drive (386 version that is)?

[09:55] <grey> jramsey yep
[09:55] <raptros-v76> (look at the topic)
[09:55] <livingdaylight> polpak: /bin/tar: /bin/tar: cannot execute binary file

[09:56] <gnomefreak> random_guy: irssi
[09:56] <gnomefreak> ;)

[09:56] <LetsSurf> gnomefreak: :( I'm having no luck with this
[09:56] <random_guy> k wait a sec.
[09:56] <gnomefreak> LetsSurf: did you add the repo i gave you
[09:56] <random_guy> i have both computers
[09:56] <jramsey> grey so Evolution --component=mail is added to Startup Programs and i left the order column as the default of 50 ... correct?
[09:56] <raptros-v76> random_guy: paste the output from x onto pastebin
[09:56] <livingdaylight> polpak: i did sudo tar -xzvf /media/cdrom1/conradaa
[09:56] <LetsSurf> gnomefreak: yeah, and did an update, then tried the install but I still get the same error
[09:57] <livingdaylight> or should i just write 'file'?

[10:02] <livingdaylight> i'm used to pastebin looking differently
[10:02] <ll> it is a DSL conection
[10:02] <ll> the modem is a usb modem
[10:02] <gnomefreak> Anticept: synaptic

[10:02] <unforcer> gnomefreak: ok.. so I have /dev/sda
[10:02] <gnomefreak> unforcer: i would leave it alone if its booting
[10:02] <tombs> hi all
[10:02] <Anticept> ah, but synaptic isnt finding it
[10:02] <LetsSurf> gnomefreak: hero of the day, thanks gnomefreak that fixed it

[10:03] <ubotu> it has been said that kernelsource is apt-get install linux-source-<your kernel version>
[10:03] <LetsSurf> gnomefreak: was
[10:03] <LetsSurf> gnomefreak: what was it ?
[10:03] <grey> unforcer grub uses weird devices names, can you set your bios to boot from usb first?
[10:03] <ubuntu> reptros-v76 what happens after that is i think another shell prompt appears any way i will try that and find out the nameof the shell
[10:03] <gnomefreak> LetsSurf: you didnt have a full sources.list
[10:03] <gnomefreak> you were missing major repos
[10:03] <unforcer> grey: whaat? :D
[10:03] <ll> both computers are already conected and i can share files
[10:03] <gnomefreak> !kernel-source
[10:03] <biberao> hey
[10:03] <gnomefreak> !+kernel-source
[10:03] <biberao> wireless wpa-sk cant make it work help
[10:03] <ubotu> methinks kernel-source is if you need to install the kernel source for your running kernel, sudo apt-get install linux-source-$(uname -r), more than likely though, all you need is to install the kernel headers for your running kernel. (if you need to compile a module) sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[10:04] <raptros-v76> ubuntu: so go back through the problem
[10:04] <grey> unforcer: you want to boot from a usb stick instead of hard disk, right?
[10:04] <majd> Hi, rhythmbox gives me a "Could not open resource for writing" error whenever i try to play a song...the song plays in all other players...and i just can't find a player as good as rhythmbox

[10:08] <bth_> what tool do I use to install a RPM?
[10:08] <raptros-v76> ubuntu: you mean like /sbin/init?
[10:08] <raptros-v76> not int, right?
[10:08] <HymnToLife> !alien
[10:08] <ubotu> from memory, alien is a program to convert RPMs to DEBs. Its use is discouraged, as it could create serious problems. Website: http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/
[10:08] <gnomefreak> bth_: i wouldnt i would look for a deb
[10:09] <bth_> erg.
[10:09] <HymnToLife> but yeah, look for a DEB first
[10:09] <livingdaylight> polpak: i tried to extract it from gui but it says that it is not supported
[10:09] <livingdaylight> archive type not supported?
[10:09] <biberao> i think i know understand the problem
[10:09] <biberao> :X
[10:09] <biberao> well
[10:09] <biberao> gtg
[10:09] <biberao> play snooker
[10:09] <bth_> well, I know there is no deb.
[10:10] <bth_> my choice is RPM or tar.gz
[10:10] <MenZa> bth_: I've never had any problems with Alien. Simply do "sudo alien filename.deb" followed by "sudo dpkg -i filename.deb"
[10:10] <x405> Go for the tar.
[10:10] <MenZa> Alien <3
[10:10] <bth_> okay tar it is
[10:10] <gnomefreak> bth_: what app is it?
[10:10] <bth_> it's Wildfire, an XMPP server
[10:11] <gnomefreak> ah
[10:11] <bth_> http://www.jivesoftware.org/downloads.jsp
[10:11] <thedeadliving5> sweet thanks its downloading now
[10:11] <sharpy> !mplayer
[10:11] <ubotu> hmm... mplayer is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MplayerInstallHowto  For compiling, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31061
[10:11] <thedeadliving5> is there anything else I need to do to use it?
[10:11] <ubuntu> raptros-v76 i thought it was /sbin/int   but if this seems incorrect then yes init since there may be no such file as int?
[10:12] <majd> Hi, rhythmbox gives me a "Could not open resource for writing" error whenever i try to play a song...the song plays in all other players...and i just can't find a player as good as rhythmbox
[10:12] <raptros-v76> thedeadliving5: good. btw http://www.xmms.org/ has cool stuff for xmms.  there are also plugins for it.  xmms is pretty cool
[10:12] <thedeadliving5> thanks
[10:12] <MenZa> majd: I highly recommend "Listen" -- it's Rhytmbox-like. Otherwise, permissions?
[10:12] <Luke> unforcer: thanks
[10:13] <raptros-v76> ubuntu: yeah, i dont have a file called int in /sbin
[10:13] <MenZa> http://listengnome.free.fr, majd.
[10:13] <majd> i just want an itunes-like interface and i want it to be fast
[10:13] <majd> anything else is extra
[10:13] <MenZa> majd: it's very iTunes like.
[10:13] <imc_> Looking for info about making the suspend key (Fn+F5 on this Compaq v4020us) work - anyone have a pointer?
[10:13] <imc_> under dapper
[10:13] <MenZa> Artist and album-browser
[10:13] <unforcer> Luke: np
[10:13] <MenZa> http://www.menza.org/upload/listen.png majd
[10:13] <ubuntu> raptros-v76 then it must be /sbin/init
[10:13] <raptros-v76> majd: itunes and fast are mutually exclusive
[10:14] <raptros-v76> ubuntu: yeah. that would be bad.
[10:14] <raptros-v76> ubuntu: umm.
[10:14] <majd> MenZa, that looks perfect
[10:14] <majd> haven't even heard of it before
[10:14] <majd> thanks
[10:14] <raptros-v76> ubuntu: lets see, what architecture is your computer?
[10:14] <MenZa_> majd: http://www.menza.org/random/listen.png
[10:14] <MenZa_> There it is.
[10:14] <MenZa_> (My connection died :\)
[10:15] <mxpxpod> is there anyone using network-manager with bcm43xx?
[10:15] <majd> MenZa, i'm not kidding lol, the interface is exactly what i was looking for
[10:15] <MenZa> Goody.
[10:15] <MenZa> http://listengnome.free.fr
[10:15] <thedeadliving5> ok one last thing im having trouble with
[10:15] <MenZa> It's optimised for Dapper (which I'm using), but there is a Breezy repos available.
[10:16] <cT|Binary> Will someone please walk me through installing ATI Drivers? thanks

[10:16] <MenZa> !tell thedeadliving5 about fixres
[10:17] <MenZa> :P
[10:17] <Luke> unforcer: aah it worked! thank you so much! i've been looking for that for so long
[10:17] <raptros-v76> ubuntu: i have no clue.
[10:17] <thedeadliving5> fixres?
[10:17] <raptros-v76> ubuntu: had it worked before?
[10:17] <Luke> unforcer: how did you find out about that  -extra package?i searched through everything that had "samba" in it
[10:17] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: yes, check your query from ubotu.
[10:17] <gnomefreak> thedeadliving5: read your pm
[10:17] <MenZa> There's a link to a wiki guide on it.
[10:18] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: if you wish, I can guide you through it though.
[10:18] <sharpy> when i try to open an application it tells me: cannot load font Sans. How do i add it?
[10:18] <bth_> where can i get a deb for Sun's Java Runtime?
[10:18] <thedeadliving5> thanks
[10:18] <MenZa> The guide should be easy to understand though.
[10:18] <thedeadliving5> please
[10:18] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: alright.
[10:18] <thedeadliving5> i appreciate it
[10:18] <Luke> sharpy: search restricted formats on the wiki... there is a guide
[10:18] <MenZa> Open a terminal and type in "sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf" (you can use gedit if you wish)
[10:18] <MenZa> Type in your password.
[10:18] <sharpy> Luke, wiki? i am sorry could u point me to the website?
[10:19] <ubuntu> raptros-v76 all the time yes just delted sarge on hda2 but ubuntu 5.10 server on hda2 now have grub from hda2 installed and now this problem
[10:19] <bth_> any clues on how i can get the java 1.5
[10:19] <MenZa> Now go down and find "Section "Screen"
[10:19] <MenZa> bth_: there's a package... jre-something
[10:19] <Luke> sharpy: www.ubuntu.com
[10:19] <MenZa> sudo apt-cache search jre
[10:19] <MenZa> try that
[10:19] <thedeadliving5> ive been in this folder before
[10:19] <sharpy> Luke, i meant relative to installing a Sans font.
[10:19] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: yeah, a lot is done there.
[10:20] <bth_> hrmmm i don't have any packages with that NAME listed...
[10:20] <sharpy> Luke, its ok.. i'll peruse there. Hopefully it will be self-evident.
[10:20] <MenZa> Now scroll down to that 'Section "Screen"'
[10:20] <bth_> i have universe but not multiverse maybe that's the problem
[10:20] <raptros-v76> ubuntu: i did that once, got rid of a partition.  that is a very bad idea.  youll have to find your install disk and reinstall ubuntu. first copy out all your important files
[10:20] <majd> MenZa, i have to add a repo to get listen?
[10:20] <MenZa> !tell bth_ about multiverse
[10:20] <Luke> sharpy: you go to the wiki on www.ubuntu.com and search "restricted formats" and there will be a page called that. then on that page you search "sun java"
[10:20] <ubuntu> no way theres to much
[10:20] <MenZa> majd: I think you can do it by just downloading the latest .deb
[10:20] <MenZa> But you ought to add the repo aswell, for updates.
[10:21] <sharpy> Luke, oh..so Sans font is part of sun java?
[10:21] <Luke> sharpy: its not like i can tell you how to make a deb package for sun java on irc"
[10:21] <thedeadliving5> it says default is set at 1280X 800
[10:21] <Luke> sharpy: sans font?
[10:21] <sharpy> Luke, yes.. I am looking for Sans font.
[10:21] <Luke> sharpy: hahaha ooh sorry - i highlighted the wrong person!
[10:21] <Luke> hahahaha
[10:21] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: pastebin your xorg.conf :)
[10:21] <Luke> i'm so sorry
[10:21] <sharpy> Luke, np
[10:21] <thedeadliving5> how do i do that?
[10:21] <Luke> sharpy: i'm like... what the hell... this guy has no idea what i'm talking about
[10:21] <Luke> hahahaha
[10:21] <sharpy> Luke, :-)
[10:21] <Android_D> how can I check my version of Breezy?
[10:22] <raptros-v76> ubuntu: copy important files to the empty partition using your livecd, then reinstall your ubuntu
[10:22] <ubuntu> raptros-v76 its just not possible much to much info
[10:22] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: right, use gedit instead. Press CTRL+Z to close nano. Now do "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[10:22] <MenZa> You have it open in a more user-friendly client now.
[10:22] <Luke> sharpy: i can help with your problem too though
[10:22] <sharpy> Luke, i just want to install a Sans font that an application is requesting. That's all. :-)
[10:22] <sharpy> Luke, okies.
[10:22] <Luke> sharpy: open your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:22] <bosco> lol
[10:22] <raptros-v76> ubuntu: how much of actually important stuff could you have?
[10:22] <sharpy> Luke, ok one sec.. while i load a terminal
[10:22] <Android_D> actually
[10:22] <Luke> sharpy: look at the paths in there and it will tell you where fonts are
[10:23] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: now go to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[10:23] <MenZa> And paste the contents there -- then give me the link.
[10:23] <ubuntu> raptros-v76 230mb
[10:23] <sharpy> Luke, i c tons of fontpaths for misc,cyrilic, 100dpi ..etc...
[10:23] <raptros-v76> ubuntu: how much space do you have on the empty partition
[10:23] <Luke> yea but they all have a common path though right?
[10:23] <Luke> sharpy: like /usr/share/X11/fonts?
[10:23] <Android_D> I type " apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` " and I get "Couldn't find package linuc-headers-'uname -r' .  Why is this happening?
[10:24] <sharpy> Luke, yup. Common path ^^
[10:24] <thedeadliving5> type that all in one line?
[10:24] <Ohzie> Hey, can anybody tell me of a linux program that can open a daa file?
[10:24] <Markus__> hi everyone!
[10:24] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: Press CTRL+Z -- that closes the client.
[10:24] <MenZa> Then do [without the quotes] : "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[10:25] <ubuntu> raptros-76 more than enough its not that its setting up postfix the certs the hours of work I think and i hate to say this but bill G is calling me back to!!!!!
[10:25] <Markus__> i have just installed kubuntu and if i try to start the monitor freezes....do anyone of you know this problem?
[10:25] <MenZa> COPY the contents from there and paste it on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[10:25] <thedeadliving5> command not found?
[10:25] <sharpy> Luke, do I blindly search for a Sans font on the internet and install it in /usr/shar/X11/fonts ?
[10:25] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: what are you typing in?
[10:25] <grey> android_d, make sure those are back-quotes (by tilde) around uname-r and the whole lot is unquoted
[10:25] <raptros-v76> ubuntu: ok depserate measures time
[10:25] <Luke> sharpy: you could do that
[10:25] <bosco> has anyone gotten flash working in ubuntu
[10:25] <Android_D> thanks, grey
[10:25] <Luke> sharpy: i use bitstream vera
[10:25] <MenZa> !tell bosco about flash
[10:25] <Luke> sharpy: which has a sans
[10:25] <thedeadliving5> gedit/etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:25] <MenZa> no, no
[10:25] <sharpy> Luke, oh.. where can I get that?
[10:26] <Markus__> can anybody help me?
[10:26] <MenZa> Do "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[10:26] <MenZa> Without the quotes
[10:26] <Luke> sharpy: there is probably a ubuntu package
[10:26] <raptros-v76> copy your /sbin/init file from the live cd to the hard drive
[10:26] <Luke> sharpy: h/o i'm looking for better solutions. you should already ahve this font - that is the problem
[10:26] <thedeadliving5> ok
[10:26] <Luke> sharpy: what program is it that cant find sans?
[10:26] <sharpy> Luke, mplayer. it's for a specific skin I like.
[10:26] <bosco> MenZa, i did that already and i didnt not work
[10:26] <thedeadliving5> ok now what
[10:27] <bosco> MenZa, didnt work i have already been there to that site
[10:27] <Luke> sharpy: aaah that changes things. you'll have to go in the settings and just pick another font. they have some path hardcoded into mplayer so if you dont have that... it wont work
[10:27] <Android_D> alright
[10:27] <ubuntu> raptros-v76: yes itspretty bleak i will not reinstall again  its about six months of hard work
[10:27] <sharpy> Luke, oh ok. let me see if i can change a font there.
[10:27] <raptros-v76> ok, do what i said
[10:27] <bosco> does anyone have flash working in ubuntu the flashplayer plugin is installed but still cant view flash
[10:28] <Android_D> now I type " apt-get install gcc-3.4 " and the package cannot be found
[10:28] <Luke> sharpy: there is a whole font section in gmapler's preferences
[10:28] <raptros-v76> copy that binary file from the cd to the hard drive
[10:28] <MenZa> Sorry about that, metacity crashed.
[10:28] <Ohzie> bosco: Works fine for me.
[10:28] <Luke> sharpy: mine doesnt actually point to a font, it just points to "/usr/share/X11/fonts/Type1"
[10:28] <bosco> Ohzie, well so what do i do then
[10:28] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: right. Copy all of that and paste it on http://www.pastebin.com
[10:29] <sharpy> Luke, mplayer is asking for a font that ends with .desc
[10:29] <MenZa> bah, I'm on CLI so I have to settle for Lynx ;\
[10:29] <dooglus> I installed xubuntu-desktop, and my gdm login screen has gone all light blue and xubuntu-y.  how can I get it back to the proper ubuntu colours?
[10:29] <Ohzie> bosco: Well, I clicked on the INSTALL MISSING PLUGINS button
[10:29] <Ohzie> And uhh installed flash
[10:29] <Ohzie> And now it works.
[10:29] <MenZa> dooglus: Umm... try doing System -> Administration -> Login Screen
[10:29] <MenZa> (That's GNOME)
[10:29] <sharpy> Luke, it's ok ... ill ask in #mplayer.. more appropiate ya know? :-)
[10:29] <Luke> sharpy: where do you see it asking that?
[10:29] <ubuntu> raptros-v76: please use my nick which  sbin/init are we talking about
[10:29] <thedeadliving5> there isnt anything to paste
[10:29] <bosco> Ohzie, well that did not work for me it says something and i have to custom install it
[10:29] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: ...you must've typed it in wrong.
[10:29] <grimboy> Alright, I have a mouse problem, I have annoying side buttons that I accidently hit and want to turn off and a middle button that always does a paste whatever the application (in firefox it should do stuff with tabs)
[10:29] <Luke> sharpy: good call. i'm pretty sure its an mplayer specific problem
[10:29] <Ohzie> bosco: Well, I'm sorry. That sucks.
[10:29] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: right, let's do this another way
[10:29] <MenZa> do
[10:29] <sharpy> Luke, it's in preferences dialog. :-)
[10:30] <Luke> sharpy: expecially if all your other fonts work. firefox and all that probably use sans too
[10:30] <MenZa> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:30] <Luke> sharpy: mine is looking for .pfd files?
[10:30] <MenZa> And follow the steps
[10:30] <Luke> sharpy: and .ttf
[10:30] <MenZa> Until you get to the resolutions part. Simply toggle the ones you want, thedeadliving5.
[10:30] <bosco> Ohzie, will i use enlightment 17 and that should have nothing to do with it should it
[10:30] <thedeadliving5> ok
[10:30] <Ohzie> bosco: I don't think so.
[10:30] <MenZa> Tell me if you experience any problems
[10:31] <sharpy> Luke, when i type gmplayer, i open preferences and the first font it wants is Sans. If i peruse for other fonts in /usr/local/share/fonts mplayer wants it in .desc way
[10:31] <Luke> sharpy: that is highly strange. since mine isnt doing that i cant really help
[10:31] <Luke> sharpy: sorry
[10:31] <bosco> Ohzie, it sends me here and tells me there is no flash installed         http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
[10:31] <Android_D> I type " apt-get install gcc-3.4 " and the package cannot be found, why is it that gcc-3.4 is not found. (I am following a guide for installing a webcam driver BTW)
[10:31] <Luke> sharpy: at least you know its just a mplayer problem though
[10:31] <sharpy> Luke, true :-)
[10:32] <Luke> sharpy: good luck
[10:32] <bosco> Ohzie, and then it downloads the flash as a .tar file
[10:32] <Firebird8> how do i change the permissions of my CD writer so i do not need to be root to write?
[10:32] <thedeadliving5> how do i go about toggling what i want
[10:32] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: I think it's space.
[10:32] <sharpy> Luke, thanks.. i'll let u know if I find a solution..jsut in case a newbie like me comes across the same prob.
[10:32] <thedeadliving5> they all say 1280X800
[10:33] <bth_> !tell khaladan about multiverse
[10:33] <MenZa> All of them?
[10:33] <Kasirc> Ola
[10:33] <Luke> sharpy: haha thanks
[10:33] <Ohzie> bosco: Yeah, I understand what you're saying. I have no idea how to help you. Sorry.
[10:33] <Ohzie> Try searching in Synaptic for 'flash'
[10:34] <Howitzer> I have a problem with my new 6600GT and the NVidia drivers..
[10:34] <bosco> Ohzie,  i did searchh in synaptic and i installed all of the flash plugins
[10:34] <bosco> Ohzie, thanks for trying to help me'
[10:34] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: ?
[10:34] <bth_> !easysource
[10:34] <ubotu> For an easy to use custom sources.list creator, visit http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[10:35] <thedeadliving5> all the resolutions are the same
[10:35] <MenZa> Hmmm...
[10:35] <Brainlessbob> is there a terminal based synaptic like software?
[10:35] <MenZa> Brainlessbob: yes
[10:35] <MenZa> apt-get
[10:35] <MenZa> :P
[10:35] <Madpilot> Brainlessbob, aptitude
[10:35] <Howitzer> when i use the official ones or the ones from the repo's(Breezy and Dapper), all fonts OUTSIDE of Gnome are really small...(ex: GDM's fonts are small, Fluxbox's, TTYs are fine)
[10:35] <ProN00b> lol, Brainlessbob, synaptic is only an interface to apt-get
[10:35] <Brainlessbob> well... how do i search with apt-get for packages?
[10:36] <Howitzer> apt-cache search
[10:36] <MenZa> apt-cache search <keyword>Z
[10:36] <MenZa> ah, damn
[10:36] <MenZa> Howitzer: you're too quick.
[10:36] <Brainlessbob> thanks :D
[10:36] <Howitzer> meh
[10:36] <bth_> gosh! does anyone know what repository I can find sun-j2sdk1.5 in??
[10:36] <Howitzer> it's a reflex
[10:36] <bth_> It doesn't seem to be in multiverse!
[10:36] <MenZa> Howitzer: I suppose :)
[10:36] <fapeg> hi
[10:36] <Howitzer> on Arch Linux, i always did 'apt-get install' instead of 'pacman -S' -_-
[10:36] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: hmm.. my best guess is to add them yourself then.
[10:37] <thedeadliving5> thats the res i want, but i cant select it
[10:37] <thedeadliving5> thats where I am lost
[10:37] <raptros-v76> bth_: its not in a repository. you have to install it from source
[10:37] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: right. Launch your xorg.conf in gedit, using the command "sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[10:37] <Hexidigital> !tell bth_ about java
[10:37] <Howitzer> edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:37] <MenZa> No worries, thedeadliving5.
[10:37] <MenZa> Now scroll down to the section called "Screens"
[10:37] <Howitzer> go to the Monitor section and add the resolution you want to the corresponding color depth
[10:37] <MenZa> You'll see a number of resolutions there.
[10:37] <Howitzer> oh
[10:37] <Howitzer> Screens section, sorry
[10:37] <MenZa> Simply add the ones you want next to the others.
[10:38] <MenZa> Howitzer: heh
[10:38] <thedeadliving5> now it opened
[10:38] <MenZa> When you're done, save the file.
[10:38] <MenZa> And use CTRL+ALT+SHIFT to restart X.
[10:38] <thedeadliving5> where should i add the ones i want?
[10:38] <Howitzer> save by doing ':save /etc/X11/xorg.conf'
[10:39] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: scroll down to the section calls "Screen"
[10:39] <stpere> MenZa, CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE
[10:39] <thedeadliving5> ok
[10:39] <MenZa> You'll see a number of resolutions, e.g. "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
[10:39] <MenZa> stpere: I know, my mistake :)
[10:39] <kracker> hmm so i have been runing ubuntu 5.10 for quite a while and i just got an old netgeer pcmcia network card WG511 (802.11 G, V2, MADE IN TIWAN)
[10:39] <thedeadliving5> all there is 1280 X 800
[10:40] <kracker> and i'm trying to get it working
[10:40] <iNiku> hey.
[10:40] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: Okay. You see there are several rows of them, right?
[10:40] <thedeadliving5> yes
[10:40] <wang_> does anyone know what the SU password is? i just installed ubuntu
[10:40] <raptros-v76> there isnt one
[10:40] <MenZa> !rootsudo
[10:40] <ubotu> Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[10:40] <kracker> but i'm not sure how i can "install" the hardware ...
[10:40] <jonguy> i deleted the hosts tab in network settings and trying to edit etc/hosts but i can not get into root
[10:40] <kracker> i plugged in the card before i started ubuntu but ... no lights turned on ..
[10:40] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: right. So it says something like "1280x1024" on all lines.
[10:41] <thedeadliving5> yes it does
[10:41] <Howitzer> kracker, you have to modprobe the drivers i think
[10:41] <Brainlessbob> How do I scroll up in terminal?
[10:41] <MenZa> Next to it, type "1280x800" [if that's the one you want]  -- on all of them.
[10:41] <JimJty> how can I search a zip file for a specific file
[10:41] <MenZa> So it says "1280x1024" "1280x800" -- on all lines.
[10:41] <MenZa> When you're done, save the file.
[10:41] <thedeadliving5> it only says 1280 X 800
[10:41] <MenZa> Add more
[10:42] <thedeadliving5> right in front of it
[10:42] <MenZa> Just type them in.
[10:42] <MenZa> ...hmm
[10:42] <MenZa> pastebin it, could you?
[10:42] <Howitzer> wait
[10:42] <Howitzer> i'll post you mine
[10:42] <MenZa> Howitzer: don't bother, I'll modify his :)
[10:42] <MenZa> I just hope lynx will do for that...
[10:42] <thedeadliving5> pastbin it?
[10:42] <jonguy> is there any way to edit files while not in root
[10:42] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: http://www.pastebin.com <- put it into the big field and type "send", then post the address in here.
[10:43] <livingdaylight> is there any way to have different backgrounds in each desktop?
[10:43] <MenZa> ...uh oh.
[10:43] <Howitzer> don't think so livingdaylight
[10:43] <livingdaylight> or to have backgrounds rotating?
[10:43] <MenZa> "Unable to connect to X server"
[10:43] <MenZa> :D
[10:43] <Howitzer> MenZa, i'll do it then :-)
[10:43] <kracker> Howitzer, i thought i tried ... using:  sudo modprobe prism54
[10:43] <livingdaylight> Howitzer, thx, shame though. It s no problem in KDE
[10:43] <TehBigOne> MenZa, I have the same problem and edited/saved the file but I still cannot select the resolution I added :<
[10:44] <MenZa> TehBigOne: you have to restart x
[10:44] <TehBigOne> ty
[10:44] <MenZa> by doing ctrl+alt+backspace
[10:44] <thedeadliving5> ok
[10:44] <ubuntu> raptros-v76: ;)
[10:44] <Android_D> whats a good app for recording from webcam straight to file for extended periods of time?
[10:44] <raptros-v76> ubuntu: did it work?
[10:44] <thedeadliving5> http://pastebin.com/689222
[10:45] <ubuntu> just a sec go back to pm
[10:45] <kracker> Still ... even after i ran the command (oh, and no errors or output when running the command fyi) i still did not get a light on :\
[10:45] <kracker> errum a light on the pcmcia network card  rather
[10:45] <Brainlessbob> My terminal writes more lines than my screen can show. Is there a way I can scroll up or make the terminal write slower?
[10:46] <kracker> i did configure the card using the network control panel but ...
[10:46] <sharpy> Luke, no luck.. everyone is asleep in #mplayer
[10:46] <MenZa> Howitzer: care to edit it for me and send it along? I'm on Lynx and it bugs me.
[10:46] <sharpy> Does anyone know how to install a Sans font in gmplayer?
[10:46] <ubuntu> raptros-v76: are we here or in pm section?
[10:46] <Howitzer> What resolutions?
[10:46] <raptros-v76> ubuntu: what?
[10:46] <sharpy> or a Sans font in general that gmplayer can use?
[10:46] <JimJty> how can I search a zip file for a specific file via the command line
[10:46] <sharpy> I get: Sans font not found.
[10:46] <jonguy> newbie with problems is there any way to edit files without being in root?
[10:47] <MenZa> jonguy: well, unless they're system files or the like, you can, by standard :)
[10:47] <Brainlessbob> jonguy: If you edit in terminal you can use sudo
[10:47] <jonguy> etc/hosts
[10:47] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: what resolutions do you want to add?
[10:47] <raptros-v76> ubuntu, ill be back in about 20 minutes.
[10:47] <sharpy> !mplayer sans font installation
[10:47] <ubotu> sharpy: My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[10:47] <Howitzer> /etc/hosts will require root
[10:48] <jonguy> i can't use sudo becuase i deleted host in network connections
[10:48] <sharpy> ?
[10:48] <thedeadliving5> "1280 X800" and "1280 X 1084"
[10:48] <MenZa> Howitzer: you heard him :)
[10:48] <Howitzer> 1280x1084? Oo
[10:48] <MenZa> 1280x800 is there already
[10:48] <Howitzer> why not 1280x1024?
[10:48] <MenZa> Howitzer: just add that and some other generic ones :)
[10:48] <jonguy> and now i have to replace etc/hosts/ without sudo possible?
[10:48] <thedeadliving5> thats what i meant, lol
[10:48] <Howitzer> okay
[10:49] <jonguy> or change
[10:49] <cheesechoker> where do i put new .el files so that emacs can find them?
[10:50] <Howitzer> http://pastebin.com/689236
[10:50] <Howitzer> MenZa, you want it sent via mail?
[10:50] <Brainlessbob> My terminal writes 20+x lines but my screen only show the 20 last lines. How do I see the missing x lines?
[10:51] <kracker> this is what i have it configured as and the error when I try to turn it up ... http://pastebin.com/689233
[10:51] <jramsey> any idea why a windows shared folder on D:\Documents and Settings\folderDesired give me "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "folderDesired"?
[10:51] <Howitzer> Brainlessbob, use the scroll function :D
[10:51] <MenZa> Brainlessbob: ...page up?
[10:51] <Howitzer> jramsey, do you have r-access on it?
[10:51] <thedeadliving5> and i just replace the old one with that
[10:51] <Brainlessbob> I cant... uses ubuntu server
[10:51] <x_ghost> pipe it with more
[10:52] <jonguy> how do i get into root without sudo?
[10:52] <Howitzer> thedeadliving5, yes
[10:52] <Howitzer> jonguy, do 'su'
[10:52] <jramsey> Howitzer, i just changed in on the xp machine to allow network users to change my files and same thing
[10:52] <x405> jo: su or if you want to live a lie, use fakeroot
[10:52] <stevietool> how do you unpack a tar.bz2 file?
[10:52] <jramsey> i can get to Docs and Settings folder
[10:52] <thedeadliving5> thanks guys
[10:53] <jramsey> samba says the contents are unreadable
[10:53] <MenZa> thedeadliving5: no probs
[10:53] <MenZa> hf :)
[10:53] <MenZa> stevietool: open it with archive manager..?
[10:53] <Centaur5> After installing the nvidia drivers for my card shouldn't lspci list the type of video card instead of say that it's unknown?
[10:53] <Howitzer> jramsey, can't really help you much, don't know a lot about those things
[10:54] <jramsey> Howitzer, hold on it was set Read only on XP ... lemme try again
[10:54] <kracker> any suggestions for the error saying "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory"
[10:54] <Howitzer> jramsey, are you root when accessing the samba share?
[10:54] <Android_D> is there any simple way of installing gcc-3.4 when apt-get does not work?
[10:54] <jonguy> x405: does root have a set password
[10:54] <stevietool> Menza: I did the following in a terminal: tar -xjfv file.tar.bz2
[10:54] <kracker> for command: ifconfig -a eth1 up (eth1 is my netgear wireless card, Netgear WG511T Super G 108 Mbps)
[10:54] <x405> Usually...
[10:55] <jonguy> i tried my normal pass and it didnt work
[10:55] <TehBigOne> Is It possible to copy over files from my second hd?
[10:55] <stevietool> Menza: I got tar: file.tar.gz : not found in archive? blub?
[10:55] <jramsey> Howitzer, no ... using file browser ... how do i do sudo on the browser and do i really need to be root?
[10:55] <x405> When you installed, it should've asked for a password for root.
[10:55] <jonguy> i wonder if it has anything with the hosts file screwed up
[10:56] <Howitzer> jramsey, it might work if you're root..
[10:56] <bosco> how do i extract a tar.gz file
[10:56] <Howitzer> try 'sudo nautilus--no-desktop' in a terminal
[10:56] <bth_> bosco, tar zxvf file.tar.gz
[10:56] <x405> bosco: tar -zxvf file
[10:56] <Madpilot> x405, Ubuntu doesn't use an active root acct - there is no root pw by default...
[10:56] <x405> Ah...
[10:57] <Madpilot> ubotu, tell x405 about sudo
[10:57] <TehBigOne> Is It possible to copy over files from my second hd?
[10:57] <stevietool> how do I unpack a tar.bz2 file from terminal?
[10:57] <x405> I'm aware of sudo.
[10:57] <Madpilot> x405, the bot should have sent you a pm - check that URL out
[10:57] <jramsey> Howitzer, that worked to the point where it wants me to authenticate to access the folder
[10:57] <SAM_theman> hey
[10:57] <kracker> hmm, well what does this error messg mean? for the error from command "ifconfig eth1 up" saying "SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory"
[10:57] <SAM_theman> i am having a problem
[10:57] <SAM_theman> i can't hear my games sounds
[10:57] <kracker> arn't we all :)
[10:57] <x405> Yes, thank you for sending me stuff I don't need. Deeply appreciated.
[10:57] <jramsey> Howitzer, is this local authentication?  the default username is root
[10:58] <jonguy> so x405 anyother way to modify files?
[10:58] <Howitzer> no
[10:58] <TehBigOne> Is It possible to copy over files from my second harddrive? please
[10:58] <SAM_theman> only the music on my computer and the themes but can't listen to movies on the web whats going on???
[10:58] <Howitzer> jramsey, it's the user and pass you've given on the XP box
[10:58] <jonguy> hmm
[10:58] <Madpilot> x405, if you're not aware of how Ubuntu handles admin privs, then that URL worth a read...
[10:58] <Howitzer> if you didn't supply one, just try pressing enter whitouth filling in anything
[10:58] <jonguy> tried that
[10:58] <Howitzer> hey again MenZa  :p
[10:59] <jadaz87> hello i was wondering how do i create my own respositories?
[10:59] <jonguy> and i tried the only pass i use for everything
[10:59] <x405> 'root doesn't have a password, use sudo for administrative stuff", I think I get the idea.
[10:59] <Howitzer> jadaz87, http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/repository-howto/repository-howto
[11:00] <Howitzer> modify if necessary for Ubuntu
[11:00] <jadaz87> thanks Howitzer
[11:01] <Howitzer> God it feels good to help people :x
[11:01] <MenZa> Howitzer: word :D
[11:01] <MenZa> Giving back some of the stuff you took, so to speak
[11:01] <Howitzer> i can finally give something back
[11:01] <Howitzer> wth
[11:01] <MenZa> :D
[11:01] <Howitzer> you read my mind :s
[11:01] <MenZa> What can I say? It's a gift :)
[11:01] <jonguy> i deleted the hosts tab so now i can not get into sudo to get into root to modify the etc/hosts/ to something other than nothing
[11:02] <MenZa> sudo apt-get install sudo
[11:02] <MenZa> ;D
[11:02] <jonguy> quite a problem
[11:02] <MenZa> Indeed
[11:02] <MenZa> Synaptic?
[11:02] <jadaz87> MenZa he has no sudo lol
[11:02] <MenZa> jadaz87: I know, I was kidding ;)
[11:02] <x405> Boot using a live-cd and fix it?
[11:02] <jadaz87> synaptic requires gksudo
[11:02] <Howitzer> use fakeroot
[11:03] <MenZa> yeah, use fakeroot
[11:03] <Madpilot> jonguy, reboot to the recover console, and reinstall sudo from there
[11:03] <jonguy> how do i use fake root
[11:03] <x405> Type fakeroot at a console.
[11:03] <jonguy> fakeroot: command not found
[11:03] <Howitzer> okay
[11:03] <Howitzer> First:
[11:03] <MenZa> su ?
[11:03] <Howitzer> do passwd root
[11:04] <Howitzer> enter a password
[11:04] <jonguy> su
[11:04] <MenZa> repeat it.
[11:04] <sharpy> anyone use gmplayer here?
[11:04] <jonguy> crap wrong pc
[11:04] <MenZa> jonguy: :D
[11:04] <Howitzer> then go su and do apt-get install sudo
[11:04] <Howitzer> *then go su and do apt-get -reinstall install sudo
[11:04] <MenZa> --reinstall !
[11:04] <Howitzer> i think
[11:04] <Howitzer> oh
[11:04] <Howitzer> yeah
[11:04] <MenZa> :D
[11:05] <MenZa> I actually made a request on adding "reinstall" as an apt option -- "sudo apt-get reinstall package"
[11:05] <MenZa> Shuttleworth thought it was a good idea
[11:05] <jonguy> i cannot gain acess by using su
[11:05] <jonguy> the passowrd is not working
[11:05] <Howitzer> or you could do it the noob way and whine about how you think Ubuntu sucks and shoot people in your school
[11:05] <Brainlessbob> Is there a way to check in terminal if i have internet access?
[11:05] <x405> Ping a server?
[11:05] <Brainlessbob> what server?
[11:06] <jonguy> i will check into alternatives
[11:06] <x405> Any?
[11:06] <MenZa> Brainlessbob: get lynx =D
[11:06] <x405> Or be 1337 and telnet to google.com port 80, type in GET / and hit enter.
[11:06] <Brainlessbob> well I need to know if i got internet access since im gonna get lynx :P
[11:06] <sleepy_> hello
[11:06] <jonguy> su
[11:06] <tplk> all: Hi! I'm not an Ubuntu user. Do you think, that I could install (and use!)
[11:06] <x405> Try pinging google or something.
[11:06] <jonguy> sorry
[11:07] <sleepy_> yes
[11:07] <tplk> all: Hi! I'm not an Ubuntu user. Do you think, that I could install (and use!) Ubuntu on an old machine: PII 350MHz, 192MB RAM, 4GB HDD?  I am using pirate wifi. i recieve the signal on a laptop. i would like to send the singal to a router so i can get some more computers online.  i got all the parts here but i need to config
[11:07] <sharpy> !mplayer
[11:07] <ubotu> it has been said that mplayer is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MplayerInstallHowto  For compiling, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31061
[11:07] <Howitzer> only way to enable su is by 'sudo passwd root'
[11:07] <jonguy> i deleted the hosts tab from network settings trying to get the internet to work and wala its a bug
[11:07] <Brainlessbob> tplk: Im on ubuntu with my 233mhz 81mb ram scsi drive compaq ^^
[11:08] <patrick_king> !nvidia
[11:08] <ubotu> Please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[11:08] <iNiku> jonguy, that should have nothing to do with sudo
[11:08] <immolo> chcuky_, best way is to buy a wireless router that supports getting info from a wireless signal
[11:08] <jonguy> but it does
[11:08] <varsendagger> hey what's a dikfore?
[11:08] <tplk> Brainlessbob: wow! And do you use desktop environment?
[11:08] <varsendagger> it is in my /usr/bin
[11:08] <x405> varsen: We've heard that.
[11:08] <immolo> or buying a cheap box with a wireless card and make it a router
[11:08] <Brainlessbob> tplk: nah... server  ^^
[11:09] <chcuky_> ok i got 2 routers both netgear
[11:09] <jonguy> the error is unable to lookup  via gethostname()
[11:09] <Madpilot> varsendagger, delete it and see what doesn't work anymore ;)
[11:09] <chcuky_> i got card i got routers
[11:09] <tplk> Brainlessbob: ah
[11:09] <chcuky_> i need to config my lapto to send the singal to a router
[11:09] <Howitzer> Brainlessbob, use fluxbox :p
[11:09] <iNiku> jonguy, oh, sudo does that?
[11:09] <varsendagger> ok
[11:09] <x405> chcuky_, you might want to consider getting something like this: http://shop4.outpost.com/product/4735779?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG
[11:09] <x405> Then plugging the router into that.
[11:10] <immolo> chcuky_, send it back via ethernet
[11:10] <MenZa> What's the lightest de out there -- I might get a low-end laptop soon :)
[11:10] <jonguy> alls i have to do is add something to the etc/hosts file to fix but i cannot edit the file
[11:10] <jonguy> becuase i cannot get into root
[11:10] <bth_> is there a special ubuntu way of adding an init.d script?
[11:10] <Brainlessbob> Howitzer: is fluxbox good?
[11:10] <x405> jon: Boot using a live-cd and edit the file that way.
[11:10] <chcuky_> thats almost what i got
[11:10] <sleepy_> yes
[11:10] <sleepy_> fluxbox is great
[11:10] <MenZa> bth_: umm... System -> Preferences -> Sessions -> Startup Apps :)?
[11:10] <jonguy> wish i had one
[11:10] <chcuky_> fluxbox rules
[11:11] <x405> jon: Well, download one.
[11:11] <Howitzer> it might be a bit hard to adapt at first
[11:11] <sleepy_> sorry, I'm butting in, but it's one of my favorite programs
[11:11] <Howitzer> OR
[11:11] <sleepy_> *shells
[11:11] <Android_D> is there any simple way of installing gcc-3.4 when apt-get does not work?
[11:11] <jonguy> guess so how big?
[11:11] <Brainlessbob> Well... after i get lynx i might get it :P
[11:11] <Howitzer> you could think about switching to DamnSmallLinux
[11:11] <x405> There's damnsmalllinux, 50 mb.
[11:11] <bth_> MenZa when does that run...? at system startup, right
[11:11] <Howitzer> rofl
[11:11] <sleepy_> does anyone know how to change your PATH?
[11:11] <varsendagger> Madpilot, yeah i just can't figure out what this dikfore
[11:11] <MenZa> bth_: when you login to X :)
[11:11] <pax> Brainlessbob: yes, fluxbox is light, simple, elegant yet practicle
[11:11] <Howitzer> bth_, at gnome startup
[11:11] <sleepy_> I need to install something, but gcc isn't working very well
[11:11] <x405> http://damnsmalllinux.org
[11:11] <iNiku> jonguy, you need to find a local root exploit and hack your own box :)
[11:11] <MenZa> oh?
[11:11] <bth_> no that is not what I want. I want to add something to system startup
[11:11] <immolo> Brainlessbob, use links2 :P
[11:11] <Howitzer> iNiku, that's the dumbest thing i've heard :D
[11:12] <Brainlessbob> pax: not as lightweight as terminal only :P
[11:12] <jonguy> thats what i was thinking
[11:12] <MenZa> Howitzer: However, it's true :)
[11:12] <Madpilot> varsendagger, in that case, I wouldn't recommend my method of testing!
[11:12] <x405> Download the iso, burn it, boot the cd, mount your hd, restore the hosts file, viola.
[11:12] <bth_> How can I add something to system startup?
[11:12] <Howitzer> c'mon
[11:12] <stevietool> someone familiar with amarok ?
[11:12] <sleepy_> does anyone know how to change your PATH?, I'm having trouble because none of my programs can compile because they can't find gcc.
[11:12] <x405> bth_: in the rc folders.
[11:12] <jonguy> sounds easier said then done
[11:12] <chcuky_> this what i got for a router      http://www.netgear.com/products/details/WGR614.php
[11:12] <Howitzer> you think a fully updated linux box can be hacked by a person that deleted his /etc/hosts ? (No offence :p )
[11:12] <jonguy> allthough ive yet to do it
[11:13] <iNiku> howitzer, no :D
[11:13] <grimboy> Which config file is for advanced mouse configuration? I have a really annoying mouse with extra buttons that I don't want but hit a lot because I have big chubby fingers.
[11:13] <MrElendig> grimboy: xorg.conf
[11:13] <iNiku> I'm a bit surprised that it kills sudo, though
[11:13] <Howitzer> meh
[11:13] <grimboy> Thanks
[11:13] <jonguy> some offense taken lol
[11:13] <Howitzer> me too
[11:13] <sleepy_> does anyone know how to change your PATH?, I'm having trouble because none of my programs can compile because they can't find gcc.
[11:13] <moparfan90> hello. i just installed apache and fowarded port80... and no one from the out side can see my site...
[11:13] <Howitzer> jonguy, try rebooting
[11:13] <moparfan90> anyone know why?
[11:13] <Howitzer> maybe the Windows way works :x
[11:14] <bth_> what's the proper way to add something to the rc foldres for startup
[11:14] <immolo> chcuky_, you would have to use your laptop to pick the signal up then use ethernet to forward the connection on and then the router will do the rest
[11:14] <HymnToLife> grimboy> there's a wiki page to handle mice with extra buttons
[11:14] <HymnToLife> !ouse
[11:14] <ubotu> No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, HymnToLife
[11:14] <x405> mopar, could be your router. Them buggers are a pai.
[11:14] <HymnToLife> !mouse
[11:14] <ubotu> [mouse]  Enabling extra buttons  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ManyButtonsMouseHowto or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=65471&highlight=evdev Installing extra cursor themes can be done easily with gcursor
[11:14] <simonpca> plop
[11:14] <movpclr> moparfan90: could be because some ISPs block port 80 on your Cable/DSL modem
[11:14] <jonguy> tried rebooting i'll just give the 50meg i trial
[11:14] <Brainlessbob> can i use fluxbox with only a keyboard?
[11:14] <movpclr> moparfan90: I know Adelphia does
[11:14] <moparfan90> oo
[11:14] <moparfan90> how do i check if they did?
[11:14] <immolo> Brainlessbob, yeah
[11:15] <Howitzer> Brainlessbob, don't think so
[11:15] <imc_> hi having an interesting issue with nm-applet; I can't get it to appear. I see a process of nm-applet -sm disable - how can i get this to run enabled so I get the front end to appear on the top panel
[11:15] <immolo> Howitzer, of couse you can
[11:15] <Howitzer> eh
[11:15] <immolo> use fluxbox without a mouse
[11:15] <iNiku> well, renaming /etc/hosts to something else doesn't break sudo on my box
[11:15] <Howitzer> Oo
[11:15] <sleepy_> yeah, there are all kinds of great keyboard shortcuts you can use
[11:15] <x405> ...
[11:16] <movpclr> moparfan90: call them up, but I would check to make sure that if you are using a router, you have pot 80 forwarded properly to your machine.  Alternatively, you could change Apache to run on say, port 800 and then test and see if people can access it before calling.
[11:16] <x405> You tried something that someone said broke their computer?
[11:16] <iNiku> of course
[11:16] <x405> You are truely brave.
[11:16] <iNiku> because I know I can recover from it even if it does break sudo
[11:16] <moparfan90> movpclr, ill change the port.. how would i do this?
[11:16] <immolo> Brainlessbob, after starting up flux for the first time edit $home/.fluxbox/keys
[11:16] <iNiku> and I was pretty sure it wouldn't break anyway
[11:16] <immolo> keyboard shortcuts
[11:16] <sleepy_> can anyone help me with the user PATH?
[11:16] <Brainlessbob> immolo: i see... i keep that in mind
[11:17] <sleepy_> please?
[11:17] <x405> Uh...don't you just type like $PATH =blah to set a new path in a console?
[11:17] <immolo> Brainlessbob, check out the gentoo doc as it has some handy stuff on configuing fluxbox which also will work on ubuntu
[11:17] <movpclr> moparfan90: goto /etc/apache2/ports.conf and add "Listen 800" then restart apache
[11:17] <moparfan90> ok
[11:17] <chcuky_> immolo, how do i forward the siganl. i got regular cables and crossovers
[11:18] <sleepy_> well, I need to set my PATH to recognise gcc, so that I can compile binary
[11:18] <x405> sleepy: http://www.google.com/search?q=linux+set+path
[11:18] <sleepy_> but I don't know how to alter it, or where gcc is
[11:18] <immolo> chcuky_, I guess by using bind
[11:18] <sleepy_> I tried using 'locate gcc', but it returned too many things
[11:18] <Android_D> can I add things to the apt-cache?
[11:18] <x405> type "whereis gcc" in a terminal.
[11:18] <sleepy_> there were probably about twenty folders
[11:19] <iNiku> jonguy, what happens if you type 'sudo id' in a console?
[11:19] <jonguy> btw i was tring to setup a broadband connection and it pppeoconf had a error and said there is no connection (but there is)
[11:19] <sleepy_> ok
[11:19] <sleepy_> I got four that time
[11:19] <moparfan90> how do i restart apache... i forgot the command
[11:19] <immolo> chcuky_, your setup is alittle complated and is pron to error
[11:19] <sleepy_> so how do I add those to the PATH?
[11:19] <tritium> moparfan90: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 restart
[11:19] <jonguy> sudo: unable to lookup via getnamehost()
[11:19] <moparfan90> ok thanks
[11:19] <movpclr> moparfan90: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[11:20] <eck> jonguy: you don't have your hostname set up properly
[11:20] <x405> Yeah...
[11:20] <x405> He deleted his hosts file.
[11:20] <Brainlessbob> My server is odd... it wont shutdown nor restart. it hooksup in restarting/shutdown system
[11:20] <jonguy> no i deleted the tab in network settings
[11:20] <eck> x405: oh...  well i guess that would be it :)
[11:20] <chcuky_> immolo,  well i dont have a steady internet connect i can only use wifi, where do i get bind
[11:21] <jonguy> close to the same
[11:21] <immolo> chcuky_, apt :P
[11:21] <immolo> or if you are a source man isc.org
[11:21] <antiwyrd> hi guys could you give me some help with installing ubuntu please
[11:21] <chcuky_> ok ill check it out
[11:21] <chcuky_> nothing else i can do then
[11:22] <speyer> !mplayer
[11:22] <ubotu> [mplayer]  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MplayerInstallHowto  For compiling, see: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=31061
[11:22] <antiwyrd> i'm booting up in the default mode and its halting  before it gets to the install config
[11:22] <immolo> chcuky_, drop me aline if you get stuck I'm quite interested to see if this willl work
[11:22] <chcuky_> dude i got too many files is there a more specific nane
[11:22] <chcuky_> name
[11:22] <immolo> named
[11:22] <immolo> :P
[11:22] <speyer> what package do i need to be able to compile ?
[11:23] <tritium> speyer: build-essential
[11:23] <speyer> thanks
[11:23] <dooglus> MenZa: thanks, that's what I wanted (the login screen config window)
[11:23] <chcuky_> bind , downloading it now
[11:23] <dooglus> which is the default theme for gdm?  'human'?  or 'human circle of friends'?
[11:24] <iNiku> ah. of course deleting hosts didn't break my sudo because I had a working name server in resolv.conf
[11:24] <bakert> human
[11:24] <sleepy_> does anyone know how to change the PATH?
[11:24] <chcuky_> i down loaded it now how do i open it
[11:25] <bakert> sleepy - which version?
[11:25] <Android_D> can I add things to the apt-cache?
[11:25] <immolo> chcuky_, you need some coffee and alot of reading
[11:25] <sleepy_> I don't know, I need to add gcc to my PATH so that I can compile source
[11:25] <chcuky_> o darn
[11:25] <chcuky_> well i better do something
[11:25] <bakert> sleepy - on breezy?  make an entry in .bashrc in your home dir
[11:25] <sleepy_> because I can't './configure' anything due to it not being able to fine it
[11:26] <sleepy_> breezy is the latest version right?
[11:26] <iNiku> chcuky_, you're going to need LOTS of coffee before you get named to do what you're asking :)
[11:26] <xbox_sky> -f command not found... huh ??? slrn tells me to use -f bla bla in order to install a config file, any suggestions?
[11:26] <MenZa> sleepy_: stable, yes.
[11:26] <sybariten> do you know how hard it is finding web info on the mount with umask syntax, without ending up on pages discussing fstab syntax?
[11:26] <bakert> are you sure gcc is installed?
[11:26] <sleepy_> ok, thanks
[11:26] <MenZa> The latest is Dapper. 6.06
[11:26] <sleepy_> yes
[11:26] <chcuky_> is it that hard
[11:26] <bakert> export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/thing
[11:26] <chcuky_> i dont even have a clue so i should give up
[11:26] <sleepy_> I installed it with apt-get, and it confirms it installation whenever I've tried again
[11:27] <sleepy_> ok
[11:27] <sleepy_> thank you very much
[11:27] <iNiku> no, just do the "a lot of reading" part
[11:27] <chcuky_> well what do i reead
[11:27] <xbox_sky> -f command not found... huh ??? slrn tells me to use -f bla bla in order to install a config file, any suggestions?
[11:27] <iNiku> I'd start with tcp/ip networking basics
[11:28] <EKm> After installation of ubuntu linux it asked me to restart the computer and after doing so it failed to startup at the point where it said: hotplug something or other... It just stopped at that point and didn't say ok next to it after about 10 minutes
[11:28] <tritium> xbox_sky: -f is a switch.  You would use that with a command
[11:28] <xbox_sky> tritrium yup that's what i'm trying to do
[11:28] <bakert> EKm - try Ctrl-C at that point and see if it gets further?
[11:28] <xbox_sky> -f /home/oscar/.jnewsrc --create
[11:28] <EKm> okey dokey
[11:28] <chcuky_> well i am stuck then
[11:28] <xbox_sky> -f command not found
[11:28] <chcuky_> i just wanted someone to help me walk threw it
[11:29] <chcuky_> it didnt know it was going to take a month to read up on the matter
[11:29] <bakert> chcuky_: what format is the thing you have downloaded in?
[11:29] <sleepy_> it says "export: '/usr/bin/gcc' : is not a valid identifier"
[11:29] <xbox_sky> -f
[11:29] <Brainlessbob> Isnt it funny when my 3com router cant find a 3com network card?
[11:29] <iNiku> chcuky_, what exactly are you trying to do with named?
[11:29] <chcuky_> what is named
[11:30] <iNiku> BIND
[11:30] <patrick_king> wats the command to install a .deb file
[11:30] <iNiku> I believe that's the package you just downloaded?
[11:30] <_jason> !deb
[11:30] <ubotu> To install a .deb file: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb  (but note that the program you want might be installable using !apt from the !repos)
[11:30] <bakert> patrick_king: dpkg -i <name of>
[11:30] <chcuky_> dude im trying to take a wifi signal from my laptop and send it to a router
[11:30] <patrick_king> cheers
[11:30] <tritium> xbox_sky: I told you, that's not a command
[11:30] <iNiku> chcuky_, strictly speaking, that's impossible
[11:30] <xbox_sky> tritium sorry?
[11:30] <chcuky_> what no way
[11:30] <bakert> sleepy_: you added a line at the bottom of a file called .bashrc in your home dir?
[11:30] <iNiku> can't be done
[11:31] <chcuky_> for real
[11:31] <tritium> xbox_sky: -f is a command _switch_, but not a command itself
[11:31] <chcuky_> dont seem that hard
[11:31] <sleepy_> there is no .bashrc in my home folder
[11:31] <tritium> iNiku: sure it can
[11:31] <xbox_sky> the program tells me to -f /home/oscar/.jnewsrc --create
[11:31] <iNiku> you mean, you're connectingto a neighbor's wifi on your laptop?
[11:31] <chcuky_> i think it can be done and im  newb
[11:31] <xbox_sky> is that wrong tritium?
[11:31] <bakert> sleepy_: it wont show up with an ls
[11:31] <chcuky_> yes i got his signal steady and strong
[11:31] <tritium> xbox_sky: yes.  What are you trying to do?
[11:32] <sleepy_> I'm not using an ls
[11:32] <tritium> chcuky_: you really shouldn't steal bandwidth
[11:32] <kracker> any suggestions on trying to install a Netgear PCMCIA Wireless network card (WG511T)
[11:32] <chcuky_> i want to take it from my recieveing laptop to a router so i can plug more into
[11:32] <sleepy_> I'm in gnome
[11:32] <bakert> sleepy_: because it starts with a dot but you can see it if you do ls -a or if you try and edit it (vi ~/.bashrc)
[11:32] <iNiku> well, there's no way you can "send the signal to a router"
[11:32] <chcuky_> i dont steal bandwith
[11:32] <chcuky_> i asked for permisssion
[11:32] <sleepy_> so how to I edit it then?
[11:32] <bakert> sleepy_: also, don't put gcc in there, just the folder.  it will look in the folders on your path to find the file.
[11:32] <iNiku> what you could do, if you have a wireless router that can do it, is you could configure the router to connect to their wifi
[11:32] <sleepy_> oh
[11:32] <sleepy_> ok
[11:32] <bakert> sleepy_: but i don't think that is your problem
[11:32] <iNiku> as a client bridge
[11:32] <xbox_sky> i'm trying to run slrn a newsreader and it tells me to create a config file by typing -f /home/oscar/.jnewsrc --create and then it complaisn -f is not a command
[11:32] <sleepy_> in where?
[11:32] <chcuky_> ok
[11:32] <sleepy_> I'm trying to install the nvidia drivers
[11:33] <bakert> sleepy_: if you have gcc installed properly it would surely be on your path
[11:33] <iNiku> or, if you can't do that, you would have to configure your laptop as a NAT router
[11:33] <tritium> xbox_sky: you're missing a command before the "-f"
[11:33] <chcuky_> how do i get into my router settings
[11:33] <sleepy_> and it keeps saying that gcc isn't there, or isn't enabled
[11:33] <tritium> sleepy_: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[11:33] <sleepy_> I used apt-get to install it
[11:33] <Madpilot> sleepy_, have you installed build-essential?
[11:33] <xbox_sky> tritium ok.. but I have no idea what I should type
[11:33] <kracker> grrr, any idea, link to guide, etc would be most helpful
[11:33] <HymnToLife> you don't need GCC to install Nvidia drivrs I think
[11:33] <HymnToLife> !nvidia
[11:33] <ubotu> Please read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[11:33] <bakert> sleepy_: what happens if you do "which gcc" at the command line
[11:33] <Android_D> what does "E: Unimplemented" mean when I use apt-cache add ?
[11:33] <tritium> xbox_sky: read the documentation then
[11:33] <bakert> sleepy_: oh yes, build essentials that will be it
[11:34] <speyer> ls /usr/lib/win32/ the correct directory of win32codecs for mplayer ?
[11:34] <xbox_sky> I have
[11:34] <vinboy> hi
[11:34] <sleepy_> "/usr/bin/gcc"
[11:34] <sleepy_> ok
[11:34] <xbox_sky> same thing it tells me to use the command I've shown above
[11:34] <vinboy> how do I see my log file for D4X?
[11:34] <vinboy> it keep crashing
[11:34] <tritium> xbox_sky: that makes no sense
[11:34] <speyer> !java
[11:34] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[11:34] <xbox_sky> tritium tell me about it
[11:34] <bakert> sleepy_: try sudo apt-get install build-essentials
[11:34] <iNiku> chcuky_, what kind of a router do you have? can it be configured as a wireless client?
[11:34] <tritium> build-essential (no "s")
