[12:01] <ck> variant: ps aux shows compiz running
[12:01] <wolke> variant: but how can i access it, when it's unmounted. it will lose it's /dev-point
[12:01] <variant> wiitard: the default roaming mode will connect you to the first available network without any intervetion from you
[12:01] <noelferreira> how can i give colors to emacs editing. for example to edit java code or #c code?
[12:01] <Dri> Cool.
[12:01] <variant> wolke: no it won't
[12:02] <void^_> i've tried beryl on a gf2mx, it works fine but 2d (scrolling/redraw) and overlay performance is too bad
[12:02] <wiitard> variant: is the NETWORK udner system the same as what ur talking about?
[12:02] <bethany> hey I just installed Ubuntu last week on to my laptop and it wont let me run the centematics on a game i'm playing i was directed to come here, can anyone help?

[12:02] <tokyo25> in win xp when i want to copy a music cd. i use a program called sonic. i use the make an exact copy function, how do i do this with the cd creater or ubuntu?
[12:02] <ck> void: :)
[12:02] <variant> wiitard: there are two entries iirc, network and network tools or something
[12:02] <tokyo25> i wannt to make an exact copy of music disk. i have 1 cd drive
[12:02] <variant> wiitard: put your card into roaming mode in the network gui and it will enable what i was just talking about
[12:03] <variant> tokyo25: in k3b select "copy disk"
[12:03] <ck_> hm 24h disconnect :(
[12:03] <variant> tokyo25: it will image it
[12:03] <ck_> well just an other stupid question, what's the different between beryl and compiz?
[12:04] <variant> ck_: no, somone who owns the "ck" nick joined and kicked you off
[12:04] <jjchico> noelferreira: look at the menus: Options - Syntax highlighting. You should be in java (o whatever) mode, which should occur automatically when you open the file.
[12:04] <tokyo25> krb is a program i will download first?
[12:04] <ck_> ah i see sorry
[12:04] <variant> ck_: beryl is a fork of compiz
[12:04] <variant> tokyo25: k3b
[12:04] <variant> tokyo25: it's like nero burning rom
[12:04] <ck23> well that nick shouldn't be owned i guess
[12:04] <bethany> has anyone ran Diablo 2 lord of disctruction with having Kubuntu as their operating system
[12:04] <variant> tokyo25: apt-get install k3b
[12:04] <Soleil-Raid> Or, there is Nero Burning Rom for Linux.
[12:04] <tokyo25> ya sorry k3b will i need to down first
[12:04] <noelferreira> jjchico: i use emacs not xemacs
[12:04] <tokyo25> ok

[12:04] <variant> ck23: type /whois ck and ask him for it

[12:05] <vagabon1> I'm having trouble getting sound to work on my system - I am following directions from here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 .  I believe my soundcard to be a soundblaster audigy (creative labs) and the driver is emu10k1.  I see the driver in the list when I try sudo modprobe -snd "tab" "tab".

[12:05] <swedekid> can anyone explain this to me? ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/World\ of\ Warcraft/Interface/Addons
[12:05] <variant> swedekid: what about that? it's a path
[12:05] <ck23> variant: it's no problem for me. i can use this nick aswell
[12:05] <Soleil-Raid> tokyo25: http://www.nero.com/eng/nerolinux-prog.php?pak=16
[12:05] <swedekid> well how the crap do i get to it, i tried it and couldnt
[12:05] <swedekid> it doesnt exist
[12:05] <variant> Soleil-Raid: why show him that?
[12:06] <jjchico> noelferreira: also "Alt-X global-font-lock-mode"
[12:06] <chump> swedekid: cd " ~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft/Interface/Addons" i think :P
[12:06] <variant> swedekid: lol, it's hard to help you when you don't have a question (although i realise you are probably feeling a little out of your depth)
[12:06] <wolke> variant: i tried it, and it won't access the stick, when it's unmounted
[12:06] <tokyo25> thanks for help
[12:06] <variant> wolke: then you are doing it wrong
[12:06] <swedekid> wait a sec
[12:06] <swedekid> dang i feel dumb right now
[12:06] <variant> wolke: remember that you need to be root to do those things (sudo command name or sudo -i to become root()
[12:07] <k1gwb> I have a question...in my gnome panel I have the "deskbar" applet, and it works if I choose "button in panel", but if I choose "entry in panel" it shows up properly but I cannot type in the text area.  Any thoughts?
[12:07] <chump> can we do partition on a usb flashdrive ?
[12:07] <Tarkus> im trying to setup my /home as a different partition. do i just make a folder on my partition for the user (mike), and then put all my files in it, then when i install ubuntu, just set the mount point for that partition to /home/?
[12:07] <variant> chump: yes, use gparted or cfdisk
[12:07] <swedekid> yea, that didnt
[12:07] <swedekid> work
[12:07] <swedekid> tried to do it in terminal
[12:08] <wolke> variant:  sudo fdisk /dev/sda
[12:08] <vagabon1> Can anyone recommend any resource other than http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449 for getting sound to work?
[12:08] <funkyHat> Tarkus, yes pretty much... are you copying the files from windows? or another Linux installation?
[12:08] <jordan_> Hey, when using XDMCP, are 3d graphics (say, in WINE) rendered at the server or client end?
[12:08] <nexous> How do I remove the splash screen from feisty?
[12:08] <variant> Tarkus: don't bother making any folders. instead, during install select the other partition as /home ubuntu will put all the files it needs there automatically
[12:08] <variant> Tarkus: then you can copy over the existing files
[12:09] <variant> wolke: i told you to use cfdisk not fdisk
[12:09] <ammmom> hyper_ch
[12:09] <wolke> variant: same thing
[12:09] <Tarkus> variant, but i already have media on the partition.. (music, video, pictures, that iw ant to keep (im not formating that partition)
[12:09] <wolke> variant: same result
[12:09] <variant> wolke: what result
[12:09] <variant> Tarkus: what file system is it?
[12:09] <Tarkus> variant, ext3
[12:10] <Tarkus> variant, everything is ext3
[12:10] <wolke> variant:  FATAL ERROR: Cannot open disk drive
[12:10] <variant> Tarkus: cool, in the installer choose NOT to format it but instead just set the mount point to be /home/ and all your files will be preserved and it will add in what it needs
[12:10] <skeletonix> :D
[12:10] <ammmom> hyper_ch, I'm a notch down on the stupid belt.  Hooray! Are you around???
[12:10] <swedekid> chump: umm, can you walk me through it step by step :/ im sorta ubuntu illiterate
[12:10] <Tarkus> variant, so it wont dump all my video,music, etc.. folders in /home right? cause they should be in /home/mike/, correct?
[12:11] <k1gwb> any thoughts on the deskbar gnome panel applet not accepting entry when the entry field is in the panel?
[12:11] <chump> swedekid: you want to get into this folder ?
[12:11] <nopcode> hey
[12:11] <variant> Tarkus: it will dump them into /home/ easyest way to fix that is post install
[12:11] <swedekid> chump: yep
[12:11] <nopcode> i tried the installation instructions for the nvidia driver but it didnt work
[12:11] <M_42> !pastebin
[12:11] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[12:11] <nopcode> X doesnt start anymore
[12:11] <nopcode> any suggestions?
[12:12] <chump> swedekid: Places > home folders
[12:12] <wolke> variant: would i need to create some device first?
[12:12] <variant> Tarkus: the only concern with putting them in a folder called /mike/ is that the installer might not like that if you then ask it to create a home dir called /mike
[12:12] <chump> swedekid: Places > home folder**
[12:12] <Stumpf> Hey guys, anyone suggest a nice media player (ie Rythymbox/XMMS/Amaroak etc) that has a builtin Equalizer similar to XMMS / Winamp etc?  Or are there other good 'nix utils that work well as an equilizer on the desktop?
[12:12] <variant> wolke: no, as long ast he device is plugged in and not mounted that should work fine
[12:12] <chump> swe
[12:12] <swedekid> chump: done
[12:12] <chump> swedekid: then menu view > show hidden file
[12:12] <usser> Stumpf: that'd be amarok
[12:12] <Tarkus> variant, so, should i just install ubuntu, and then mount it later when ubuntu is installed?
[12:12] <usser> Stumpf: for me at least cause i run kde
[12:13] <chump> swedekid: then you will see the .wine dir
[12:13] <wolke> variant: it doesn't work. :((
[12:13] <swedekid> chump: yea i got it, i feel like a really really big idiot
[12:13] <variant> Tarkus: no, install ubuntu but DURING install, select the advanced partition layout and set your spare partitions mount point to /home but make sure you select DO NOT FORMAT
[12:13] <chump> everybody need to learn somewhere ;)
[12:13] <fbarcenas> Is there any setting that will cause my LCD on my laptop to dim if I haven't touched my laptop in more than say 5 seconds or so, and will brighten when I touch a key?
[12:13] <variant> Tarkus: to make things a bit simpler you can do this
[12:13] <usser> swedekid: dont be u're not alone wine setup threw me off balance too first time i saw it
[12:14] <Tarkus> variant, alright thats what ill do. but then when its done installing. there will be all the content of the drive in /home/ do i move them into /home/mike after?
[12:14] <usser> Stumpf: yep amarok has equalizer
[12:14] <variant> Tarkus: on the spare part create a folder called backup or something and move everything that you want to be in your home folder into that one. then install ubuntu with that part mounted under /home (REMEMBER NOT TO FORMAT IT THOUGH!!!!!) and then run mv ../backup/* ~/ (as the user mike not root)
[12:15] <Juan> how do i see the pppoe connection time?
[12:15] <Yggdrasil> does anyone here know how to get the battery settign to appear on my power manegment preference , its gone :(
[12:15] <variant> Tarkus: this way once you ahve installed you will have /home/backup and /home/mike
[12:15] <variant> Tarkus: and can copy the entire contents of /home/backup into /home/mike
[12:15] <fbarcenas> Is there any setting that will cause my LCD on my laptop to dim if I haven't touched my laptop in more than say 5 seconds or so, and will brighten when I touch a key?
[12:16] <Juan> how do i see the pppoe connected time?
[12:16] <variant> Tarkus: although the permissions on the files in /home/backup will be wrong (you should change the owner and group to that of your user (mike) accordingly
[12:16] <s1icknick> im accessing .doc/.xls files thru a samba share, but am unable to open them without first saving locally. .txt, .pdf and other files open without a problem.  any ideas?
[12:16] <Tarkus> variant, alright, so right now. since i want everything in that partition to be i /home/mike. then there should be only 1 folder on the partition, called "backup" and everything inside there. correct?
[12:16] <Yggdrasil> fbarcenas
[12:16] <Yggdrasil> i dont think so just blank screen after that time...
[12:16] <fbarcenas> Yggdrasil, yes?
[12:16] <VladimirBG> hey all
[12:16] <fbarcenas> Yggdrasil, ahh
[12:16] <psykidellic> hi...how do you find the complete path using ls command?
[12:17] <variant> Tarkus: otherwise if you have /home/mike mixed with all your other files y ou can't just do mv /home/* ./
[12:17] <Yggdrasil> its under settings pwoer manager
[12:17] <VladimirBG> is the situation with ati x1*** series still an issue with feisty?
[12:17] <psykidellic> i want to do ls and output the complete path of all files to a file..
[12:17] <variant> Tarkus: as you would try to copy /home/mike into it's self
[12:17] <crdlb> s1icknick: that's because openoffice doesn't support gnome-vfs
[12:17] <VladimirBG> ati x1*** seris I mean
[12:17] <mon^rch> can somebody tell me how to setup a raid?
[12:18] <Juan> how do i see the pppoe connected time?
[12:18] <s1icknick> crdlb : erm. pardon ? im using kde (if that matters)
[12:18] <crdlb> s1icknick: oh then you need to go to #kubuntu
[12:18] <crdlb> it's completely different on that end
[12:19] <crdlb> their KIOSlaves thing should make it work
[12:19] <Dquestions> any recommendations for screen savers?

[12:20] <Juan> how do i see how long has the pppoe connection been active?
[12:20] <GaiaX11_> psykidellic: give mor details please
[12:20] <JoeR> Heu
[12:20] <Tarkus> variant, so right now on my partition that im going to mount to '/home' there is about 6 folders (videos, pictures, documents, music, etc..) and they all contain many files in each. so now do i make another folder called backup, and move all of those folders into there, making backup the only folder at the root of the partition?
[12:20] <JoeR> Hey*
[12:20] <JoeR> Can anyone help me?
[12:20] <Dquestions> how about for comp sci classes.. anything that rivals paper?
[12:20] <psykidellic> okay... i have two folders .... positive and negative
[12:21] <JoeR> I got a belkin wireless g.. Doesn't seem to be working on linux or Its me who don't know how to setup
[12:21] <psykidellic> now i want to create an index ... with data: positive {completepath of files in directory positive}
[12:21] <JoeR> Please help.
[12:21] <Clinton__> Tarkus: create your backup directory, and them "mv music videos ... backup" Make sure the destionation directory is last
[12:22] <JoeR> Anyone know my problem?
[12:22] <sander___> crdlb: hey man
[12:22] <variant> Tarkus: seeing as there are only 6 folders don't bother
[12:22] <dyrne> JoeR: this a pcmcia card or intrenal pci?
[12:22] <variant> Tarkus: just leave them where they are
[12:22] <variant> Tarkus: and copy them one at a time post isntall
[12:23] <JoeR> USB
[12:23] <sander___> crdlb: i got now to work my ati drivers
[12:23] <Juan> how do i see how long has the pppoe connection been active?
[12:23] <variant> Tarkus: but i can't stress enough the importance of being carefull with the partitioner, check, double check and triple check before you do anything
[12:23] <sander___> crdlb: now q3a runs ok, very nice :)
[12:23] <crdlb> sander___: you mean you got fglrx working on dapper?
[12:23] <variant> Tarkus: and make backups now rather than later
[12:23] <CoRnJuLiOx> has anyone here used cdemu? i'm trying to mount the .cue image by using 'sudo mount /dev/cdemu0/ /mnt' but its asking me to specify a filetype. cdemu's website says to just add '-t iso9660' to the command but then it complains that its the wrong fs type
[12:23] <Tarkus> variant, copy them one at a time to /home/miek after its installed and /home/mike is created?
[12:23] <CCmonster> what program do i use to mount image files? like .cue and .bin?
[12:23] <variant> Tarkus: yep
[12:23] <variant> CCmonster: cdemu
[12:24] <Tarkus> variant, what do you mena make backups now? you mean the folder? i though iw asnt doing that since there is only 6 folders.
[12:24] <sander___> crdlb: i got ati drivers (that i have downloaded from www.ati.com), i just clear all drivers that ubuntu installs by default for this board, and after, i installed the original drivers of ati
[12:24] <dyrne> JoeR: lsusb see if it shows up. other than that no idea if a driver is avaialble id make sure you sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)   if that doesnt work id search ubuntuforums.org for the card model. maybe need ndiswrapper and the windows driver
[12:24] <Slart> how can I force alsa to rescan for soundcards without rebooting?
[12:24] <GaiaX11_> psykidellic: for example if I am in my home I can output the path to a file with:     pwd > my_home_path; cat my_home_path. But, I am not sure if it is what you want. So, if you go to #bash they will certainly help you better :-)
[12:24] <JoeR> I did lsusb
[12:24] <JoeR> and it poped up
[12:24] <wiitard> Variant. My wireless goes unstable after Disconnecting it or Disabling it. I must restart every time.
[12:24] <dyrne> JoeR: ifconfig -a   show it?
[12:24] <variant> Tarkus: i mean, if you have  a usb disk now is a good time to put your important files on it :)
[12:25] <JoeR> Hmm.
[12:25] <CCmonster> whats the apt-get call name variant?
[12:25] <JoeR> I don't know but I gotta get off windows
[12:25] <bytecolor> psykidellic, you just want a text file with full pathnames to files in positive/ ?
[12:25] <sander___> crdlb: i removed fglrx/ati of ubuntu installed here by default, and the vesa driver
[12:25] <JoeR> and go back on linux
[12:25] <variant> CCmonster: probably cdemu, run apt-cache search cdemu
[12:25] <JoeR> I hate switching :@
[12:25] <CCmonster> caceh?
[12:25] <Tarkus> variant, oh, alright. ok thanks for the help ill start installing now.
[12:25] <variant> Tarkus: good luck
[12:25] <CCmonster> wots the diff between apt-cache and apt-get?
[12:25] <sander___> crdlb: after, i installed the original drivers and this works perfect, quake 3 are running nice :D
[12:25] <JoeR> Anyway I can have both loaded at same time
[12:25] <jordan_> Where does 3d graphics get rendered when using XDMCP.. server or client side??
[12:25] <JoeR> with a progeram
[12:26] <sander___> crdlb: im so happy heheh
[12:26] <TP8192> Hey guys
[12:26] <jorgp> CCmonster: apt-cache shows what packages are in cache, apt-get can install/remove packages
[12:26] <dyrne> JoeR: vmware. i prefer vmware server its a free download you can run xp on a virtual machine
[12:26] <Dquestions> WHat would you guys recommend for inclass nonetaking?
[12:26] <crdlb> sander___: just watch out for kernel upgrades
[12:26] <tokyo25> i installed k3b using the sudo apt-get, but when i clcik it it wont open
[12:26] <dyrne> JoeR: other options but vmwrae is easiest
[12:26] <tokyo25> its in the sound n video menu
[12:26] <JoeR> Hmm
[12:26] <wiitard> Variant: My wireless will go unstable if i DC or Disable it. It will say I am connected, but i can't browse or connect to anything.
[12:26] <TP8192> Did anyone run across the "Buffer I/O error on device fd0, logical block 0" or \
[12:26] <JoeR> But if I use vmare I need to reinstall linux?
[12:26] <TP8192> or "initram..."?
[12:27] <TP8192> I've found the cause to that prob!!!
[12:27] <jorgp> Dquestions: I use vi, but then again, I use vi for everthing
[12:27] <sander___> crdlb: hey man, do you know some about how to running xmame in the ubuntu?

[12:27] <crdlb> sander___: not really but I doubt it's very hard :)
[12:27] <sebas_> tokyo25: or from the terminal
[12:27] <dyrne> CCmonster: dont think its in repos i usually have to download it
[12:28] <wiitard> It just wont let me browse

[12:28] <TP8192> How can I make it recognize it...?
[12:28] <wiitard> but ubuntu configured it automatically
[12:28] <JoeR> True , maybe cuz none of there users use linux btw.

[12:30] <JoeR> Oh and the funny part is that the LIVE CD recognized my dlink connections got my signal but didn't work
[12:30] <CCmonster> is the standard mplayer the best version?
[12:30] <JoeR> This doesn't even get anything lol

[12:31] <Rescue9> hmmmm... no gentoophiles huh.
[12:31] <TP8192> HELLO???
[12:31] <wolfeon> is there *any* reason to use the 64 bit build on a AMD X2? virtualization still works the same on the 32bit build, right?
[12:31] <CCmonster> whats the :2 for?
[12:31] <Rescue9> TP8192: what is your question?
[12:31] <JoeR> Ughh.. I see
[12:31] <dyrne> CCmonster: 1 didnt work :)  im not sure why 2 does but it seems to
[12:31] <JoeR> Ill guess ill go now lol.
[12:31] <JoeR> Its hopeless
[12:31] <wiitard> are  there any one to help me wifi connextion
[12:32] <wolfeon> omg, this channel is going so fast it is impossible
[12:32] <tokyo25> ill try this
[12:32] <daedra> wiitard: yes
[12:32] <wolfeon> 1266 users... holy crap
[12:32] <CCmonster> lol
[12:32] <daedra> I can help with ra0 (RaLink) cards
[12:32] <dyrne> JoeR: google search like 'site:ubuntuforums.org cardmodel'
[12:32] <wolfeon> is there an advanced ubuntu channel? :)
[12:32] <wiitard> daedra: my wifi will say i connected but it wont let me browse
[12:32] <CCmonster> ubuntu is BLOWING UP :)
[12:32] <wolfeon> I remember I was in one, but I don't remember
[12:32] <GaiaX11_> psykidellic: Ok. But I think in this case #bash is better than google
[12:32] <Juan> how do i see how long has the pppoe connection been active?
[12:32] <TP8192> Rescue9: The LiveCD of Ubuntu does not recognize my USB key
[12:32] <JoeR> I don't have a card I have a USB..
[12:32] <Steve^> My printing is being a little dodgy, how can I restart CUPS without doing a full reboot?
[12:32] <tokyo25> more ppl in here than the windows roon
[12:32] <tokyo25> sign of the times?
[12:32] <dyrne> JoeR: yeah
[12:32] <TP8192> Rescue9: It's very important as I wish to install Ubuntu on it.
[12:33] <daedra> wiitard: never use network-manager, its still crap
[12:33] <kitche> wolfeon: not really at least that is official ubuntu channel
[12:33] <wiitard> daedra: what should i use?
[12:33] <wolfeon> kitche: I think I was in +1 or motu :P
[12:33] <daedra> wiitard: I recommend, before using network-manager, to look under ubuntuforums.org for your card name
[12:33] <daedra> wiitard: what is your chipset for your wireless card?
[12:33] <kitche> wolfeon: #ubuntu+1 is for the upcoming release of ubuntu
[12:33] <wolfeon> kitche: I know
[12:33] <wiitard> daedra: INTEL PRO BG
[12:33] <JoeR> The funny part is that in hardware it finds my card. IM just having trouble getting it to find networks. Not even an options Or even setting it up!
[12:34] <wiitard> daedra: so what app i should use?
[12:34] <dyrne> JoeR: does ifconfig -a show a device if so do. sudo ifconfig eth0 down; iwlist ath0 scan; sudo iwconfig ath0 essid networkname; sudo dhclient ath0      where ath0 is whatever device
[12:34] <tritium> wiitard: that's well supported
[12:34] <kitche> wolfeon: so really it's not advance it's more of a bug fix channel :)
[12:34] <wolfeon> kitche: you wouldn't happen to know if there is any pro of using 64 bit on the AMD X2 if I am using virtualization and the system is below 4 gigs?
[12:34] <CCmonster> i get some error in mplayer
[12:34] <dyrne> JoeR: er sudo ifconfig ath0 up first
[12:34] <Goldline> 1985
[12:34] <CCmonster> i just did sudo apt-get install mplayer
[12:34] <wiitard> Tritium: but it wont let me connect unless i restart
[12:34] <Rescue9> Ok... one last time.. :-P Anyone in here used gentoo and can give me your thoughts on it vs ubuntu?
[12:34] <Yggdrasil> ccmonster what is the error ?
[12:34] <daedra> wiitard: no "app". just use console, using any help you get from ubuntuforums.org
[12:34] <tritium> wiitard: ipw2200?
[12:34] <tritium> Hi lineman60
[12:34] <wiitard> tritium: yes
[12:34] <dyrne> CCmonster: welcome to the dark side
[12:35] <CCmonster> lol
[12:35] <kitche> wolfeon: hmm probably not but since it's not true 64-bit, it might work I m not a big fan with x86_64 yet since it has hiccups
[12:35] <lineman60> hello
[12:35] <JoeR> Im a noob at linux so it sounds chinese to what ur saying
[12:35] <JoeR> lol
[12:35] <tokyo25> ive never tried gentoo. ubuntus my first experience of linux
[12:35] <wolfeon> kitche: X2 isn't true 64?
[12:35] <wolfeon> how so?
[12:35] <Juan> how do i check the dsl status?
[12:35] <CCmonster> error opening/initializing the selected video_out (-vo) device
[12:35] <Rescue9> yea... thats what I see a lot tokyo25
[12:35] <tokyo25> im interested in trying bsd soon
[12:36] <lineman60> tritium, whats your plans for the summer/
[12:36] <dyrne> JoeR:  i know its a little offputting but doing that in a terminal will tell you if the card is working. i dont know the gui tools very well
[12:36] <Yggdrasil> CCmonsters right click  on the video screen and then do configure
[12:36] <Yggdrasil> perhaps
[12:36] <CCmonster> wot was i thinking, VLC did the trick :)
[12:36] <tritium> lineman60: just working like always...
[12:36] <wiitard> PLZ THANK me :)
[12:36] <wolfeon> Yggdrasil: why did you choose that nick? :)
[12:36] <kitche> wolfeon: it's x86 with 64bit extensions
[12:36] <Yggdrasil> chose it ?
[12:36] <JoeR> What exactly do I need to type.?
[12:36] <Yggdrasil> i cant remember
[12:36] <wolfeon> kitche: ohhh, I se :)
[12:36] <Yggdrasil> ive had it for 10 years
[12:37] <Yggdrasil> its a tree
[12:37] <wolfeon> aha..
[12:37] <Yggdrasil> it is me
[12:37] <SlimeyPete> CCmonster: if you're using command-line mplayer, run it with "mplayer -vo <device> filename". You can get a list of devices by typing "mplayer -vo help" I think. Try a few.
[12:37] <bododo> hi folks :)
[12:37] <wolfeon> Yggdrasil: just interesting.
[12:37] <Yggdrasil> yes
[12:37] <Yggdrasil> its for the tree, not the distro and not the name of the ship ;)
[12:37] <bododo> whene i try to start apache2 i got this erreor: Segmentation fault (core dumped) any idea, please, of what it may be?
[12:38] <tokyo25> can anyone tell me a quick way to use k3b, i need to copy 2 music cds. but when i click it it wont open
[12:38] <SlimeyPete> tokyo25: try running it from a terminal. See if it prints any error messages.
[12:38] <tokyo25> im not very good at navigating and using terminal yet
[12:38] <Yggdrasil> open a terminal
[12:38] <Yggdrasil> and type k3b
[12:38] <bododo> tokyo25: is it well installed? are you under gnome?
[12:38] <SlimeyPete> tokyo25: just type "k3b" and hit enter.
[12:38] <Yggdrasil> oh yea hit enter
[12:38] <dyrne> JoeR: does 'ifconfig -a' show a device if so assuming the device is ath0 could be wifi0 or whatever ..do: sudo ifconfig eth0 down; sudo ifconfig ath0 up; iwlist ath0 scan; sudo iwconfig ath0 essid networkname; sudo dhclient ath0      where ath0 is whatever device
[12:38] <tokyo25> when i find k3b how do i run it, in terminal
[12:38] <tokyo25> im using gnome
[12:39] <wiitard> Do i use Iwfconfig to connect to wireless
[12:39] <JoeR> Ill try man
[12:39] <bododo> tokyo25: since k3b is written for kde, you need some kde libs
[12:39] <JoeR> Im a noob at this
[12:39] <wiitard> *iwconfig
[12:39] <JoeR> But ill try
[12:39] <tokyo25> ahh
[12:39] <tokyo25> aynaptics?
[12:39] <tokyo25> synaptics
[12:39] <Yggdrasil> whats the error
[12:39] <tokyo25> will i get em there
[12:39] <isandirlappy_> hey guys
[12:40] <Jozxyqk> hello i have a question.. does anyone know how i can configure exim4 on ubuntu, to allow "suffix" email addresses? like<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and<EMAIL_ADDRESS>?
[12:40] <bododo> tokyo25: just install K3B via synaptics and it will get you the requested libs
[12:40] <bododo> anyone for my apache segfault? :(
[12:40] <tokyo25> ok will try. thanks
[12:40] <bododo> tokyo25: you're welcome :)
[12:40] <Jozxyqk> i had it set up in an old debian system in exim4.conf.template but i dont think that is a simple "copy over to new systeM" thing
[12:40] <Juan> how do i check the dsl status - time connected?
[12:41] <matt__> bododo: tricky one, did you install it from the ubuntu packages?
[12:41] <Rish1> How would I make GAIM autostart when ubuntu first loads up?
[12:41] <bododo> matt__: yes, using synaptic
[12:41] <dyrne> Juan: ps aux might tell you for the process
[12:42] <Jamesbro> h
[12:42] <bododo> matt__: even the error log isn't helpfull :(
[12:42] <Juan> dyrne, i want to know how long has the dsl connection been active
[12:42] <jo__> hello good night
[12:42] <bododo> tokyo25: btw you can use brasero, it's a good tool too, i like it
[12:43] <matt__> bododo: what's the command you're using to start Apache again (sorry i missed it)
[12:43] <lethu> Rish1, System --> Preferences --> Sessions --> then add gaim to startup programs
[12:43] <TP8192> DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO MAKE UBUNTU LIVECD RECOGNIZE MY USB KEY...?
[12:43] <tokyo25> ok ill try that too. thanks
[12:43] <Rish1> lethu: thanks
[12:44] <lethu> Rish1, yw
[12:44] <dyrne> Juan: dunno maybe something in /var/log .. maybe cat /var/log/wvdialconf.log or something
[12:44] <bododo> matt__: i use /etc/init.d/apache2 but i think there's somethning otrher apachectrl or such
[12:44] <bododo> i used to use httpd start under FC6
[12:44] <Jchord> My ubuntu 7.4 server is not telling my router it's name and i need it to for setting up services
[12:44] <TP8192> PLZ?
[12:44] <TP8192> someone...?
[12:45] <dyrne> Jchord: ive noticed that too. blank hostname in some routers
[12:45] <bododo> TP8192: try mound /dev/sda1 /mnt/flash
[12:45] <Jchord> is there any way to fix that
[12:45] <bododo> of course you'll have to mkdir flash
[12:45] <tokyo25> all though it takes a bit of learning, i cant believe there are so many free tools for linux, that u wud pay for in windows
[12:45] <CCmonster> ok, so samba wont flippin work
[12:45] <TP8192> bododo: it doesn't let me mount 'cause I have no sa access.
[12:46] <bododo> matt__: what cmd are you using?
[12:46] <matt__> bododo: ps aux | grep apache  - anyone apache process running?
[12:46] <gwashburn> the bug at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/88570 says the fix was committed. how do I get the fix?
[12:46] <Jchord> id did orginaly but then it stoped after a reinstall
[12:46] <TP8192> bododo: which leads me to another question... how can I get sa access in LiveCD?
[12:46] <matt__> bododo: /usr/sbin/apache2ctl start
[12:46] <jo__> somebody has a good hint how to set up different gnome desktop profiles?? I'm running ubuntu7 on laptop. when switching from twinview to 1 screen, icons out off place, got lost, any hint here?
[12:46] <bododo> matt__: no apache process yet
[12:46] <Tarkus> what does it mean when a file in a terminal 'ls' is light blue? like "examples"?
[12:46] <CCmonster> ok, so i downloaded a .gz file
[12:46] <CCmonster> how do i compile or use it rather
[12:47] <dyrne> Jchord: sudo gedit /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf  then edit the send host-name "whatever" and save and restart networking i think
[12:47] <Rish1> How do I change my theme? I just installed the Vista-Classic and I have it in the Emerald Themer list, but when I click/double click, nothing happens
[12:47] <Jchord> thanks i will try
[12:47] <bianconeri> Hello guys, I have a seemingly easy problem, I have Feisty on an HP laptop, everything was working fine. Then one day I try to log in, it logs in for 5 seconds and then brings me back to the login screen. I created a new user and that seems to work fine, so there must be something wrong with my original account....how could I probe whats wrong with it?
[12:47] <noelferreira> how can i give emacs syntax highlighting?
[12:47] <tritium> CCmonster: what did you download?  I hope you checked for ubuntu packages first...
[12:47] <bododo> matt__: the same error, but doesn't apachectl just start the service in init.d ?
[12:47] <CCmonster> gnomad
[12:47] <bytecolor> Tarkus, try the file command
[12:47] <bytecolor> file filename
[12:48] <matt__> bododo: yes that will make apache run at start-up
[12:48] <noelferreira> how can i give emacs syntax highlighting?
[12:48] <bododo> matt__: yes, that's it actually that's not the same under FC
[12:48] <dyrne> noelferreira: it wont help much. youll still be using emacs :)
[12:48] <bododo> anyway, it still gives me the same error :(
[12:48] <VladimirBG> what is happening with the bug that plages Dell laptop owner with ati mobility x1*00 graphics?
[12:48] <bytecolor> noelferreira, /join #emacs
[12:48] <matt__> dyrne: how dare you :)
[12:49] <tritium> CCmonster: gnomad2 is in the repos

[12:49] <ziggy23> Hi...I am trying to get Firestarter to start in the tray on startup and have issues.  See http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20091/.  Ideas, anyone?
[12:49] <CCmonster> im a fan of amarok, too bad it wont work that well :O
[12:49] <Tarkus> bytecolor, aah, so its a symbolic link. thanks
[12:50] <Tarkus> bytecolor, how do i remove a symbolic link from somewhere?
[12:50] <matt__> bododo: do you have any apache modules installed?
[12:50] <bododo> matt__: yes the php one
[12:50] <bododo> matt__: is apache_common still required even with apache2 ?
[12:51] <bianconeri> Hello guys, I have a seemingly easy problem, I have Feisty on an HP laptop, everything was working fine. Then one day I try to log in, it logs in for 5 seconds and then brings me back to the login screen. I created a new user and that seems to work fine, so there must be something wrong with my original account....how could I probe whats wrong with it?
[12:51] <bytecolor> Tarkus, just the link, not the file it points to?
[12:51] <polysynaptic> anyone working with Feisty and ra2500, WPA2 on DDWRT, no network manager?
[12:51] <acidBURN> what command would I used to find out what driver is being used for the pcmcia card ???
[12:51] <bytecolor> gotsta run (install ubuntu on my moms pc!)
[12:51] <JoeR> Hey im back
[12:51] <CCmonster> its too bad amarok cant do everything :( i would love to just have a one stop shop for audio
[12:51] <philwhln> Tarkus: unlink <path to the file>
[12:51] <JoeR> It said ath0 not found device
[12:51] <matt__> bododo: no i dont think so. just apache2-common
 hp was paid by M$ to sabatoge you
[12:52] <bododo> matt__: that's what i though too...
[12:52] <Tarkus> bytecolor, because i acidentaly copied a symbolic to another partition.
[12:52] <obiwan_> how can i install video-device for isight????
[12:52] <Tarkus> bytecolor, so i just want to remove that link, not the files..
[12:52] <bianconeri> SnapLinux heh,  funny
[12:53] <acidBURN> need some help in getting some driver info from the pcmcia card
[12:53] <polysynaptic> really? so ra2500 doesn't work in feisty at all?
[12:53] <danlock2> OMG, i'm going to KILL this remote access thing.
[12:53] <bytecolor> Tarkus, if it's a sym link 'ln -s' rm will just remove the link
[12:53] <JoeR> It said ath0 not found device
[12:53] <matt__> bododo: which php module package did you install?
[12:54] <Tarkus> bytecolor, ok, thanks
[12:54] <JoeR> Guess I installed ubuntu for nothing. can't even get net working lol
[12:54] <dyrne> JoeR: ath0 is my device youre will be different 'ifconfig -a' will show you yours eth0 is the hardline and lo the loopback anything else should be it
[12:55] <bododo> matt__: the version 5
[12:55] <JoeR> lol..
[12:55] <ixian_> would you guys say that the ntfs-3g driver is generally reliable? because i think it just wiped out all my music (i have a backup luckly)
[12:55] <bododo> matt__: btw, i'm on a PPC
[12:55] <brentc4m> i can't get my mic to record, i've set it up dozens of times before, i've enabled the master capture and mic capture channels and turned them up all the way, if i turn up the amic channel on playback i can hear myself through the speakers
[12:55] <JoeR> Mine is etho0
[12:55] <brentc4m> also recording through analog mix works
[12:55] <brentc4m> anyone got a clue?
[12:55] <polysynaptic> JoeR: try feisty with a RA2500 chipset
[12:55] <dyrne> JoeR: all this can be dont in the graphical envinronment id search ubuntuforums.org for your usb device
[12:55] <sebas_> ixian_: i think that feisty has NTFS native support
[12:55] <JoeR> What the heck is that.
[12:55] <ziggy23> I am trying to get Firestarter to start minimized when I boot Ubuntu.  If I enter the command "sudo firestarter --start-minimized in the session manager, no icon appears in the tray.  How do I fix?
[12:56] <dyrne> goban: dont==done
[12:56] <JoeR> I did already.
[12:56] <JoeR> I searched but nothing works.
[12:56] <matt__> bododo: libapache2-mod-php5? just checking you don't have apache1.* version
[12:56] <kraudio> hi all
[12:56] <bododo> matt__: yes, that's not idiot, i could be that silly!!! will check right now :) thanks
[12:56] <CCmonster> ok so , i can copy files over to my gf's XP computer, but she cant get onto mine
[12:57] <tuxub> hi, my 2 usb hd (2.5") are not mount automaticaly. one is w95Fat32 and the other is NTFS. they both appear under dmesg and can be mount manually without problems... what's missing?
[12:57] <acidBURN> will ifconfig show driver info
[12:57] <bododo> matt__: no, no, i installed the right one :(
[12:58] <JoeR> Ehh of well I quit..
[12:58] <jules> i've been having some issues with my Audigy SE under ubuntu x64. ALSA recognizes the card and loads the module ca0106 (i think that's the one...it isn't and EMU10k chip). Anyway, when the system attempts to play a sound, the only output is a gratingly annoying white noise.
[12:58] <jules> any suggestions?
[12:58] <whatitis> ok im probably gonna get flamed for this
[12:58] <palomer> hello
[12:59] <matt__> bododo: there maybe some kind of dependency problems with your PPC version
[12:59] <palomer> i installed ubuntu
[12:59] <Alonea> I seem to be having a lot of problems with mounting and umounting lately. My thum drives are no longer automounting and I could not eject my cd drive
[12:59] <palomer> but i dont know the root password
[12:59] <abg> if i want to type in japanese, once i have the language installed, how do i switch to it?
[12:59] <Alonea> I had to stick a in the little hole to eject the disk and it didn't mount again when I put a different disk in there. What's going on?
[12:59] <palomer> i dont remember setting it
[12:59] <Alonea> there is also a locked folder called My Book now in my /media folder too. My Book is my external hdd, but its not even plugged in at the moment
[12:59] <whatitis> where can i d/l a copy of XP sp2?
[12:59] <dyrne> palomer: i tell you a secret. there isnt one
[12:59] <palomer> EHHH
[12:59] <palomer> when i type su
[12:59] <Alonea> the only thing new that I have put on my system is Vmware server. Would that cause anything?
[12:59] <palomer> it asks me for a password
[01:00] <tuxub> palomer, its your normal user password
[01:00] <palomer> tried that
[01:00] <palomer> failed
[01:00] <dyrne> palomer: by default not root pass is set so you cant su. you can sudo command or sudo -s or sudo -i for a root term
[01:00] <kitche> tuxub: not for su
[01:00] <bododo> matt__: everything seems fine! or is it just because i'm using a ppc?
[01:00] <bododo> :'(
[01:00] <tuxub> sorry
[01:00] <tuxub> sudo
[01:00] <PyL> Hello all, it is not difficult to study linux and programming in C++, but what is difficult is that i can't keep the right mood (state) for constantly studying them, what do you guys do for this? how do you manage or you don't have such a problem?
[01:00] <tuxub> i suppose is talking about sudo
[01:00] <whatitis> what is a good bittorrent site?
[01:00] <dyrne> whatitis: isohunt of course :)
[01:00] <JoeR> torrentspy.com
[01:01] <tuxub> palomer, there is no password for root
[01:01] <brentc4m> PyL, you can't make yourself enjoy it

[01:10] <jo__> mike71b: samba?
[01:10] <TP8192> ok... solved everything all by myself ;)
[01:10] <danlock2> so, should SSH be easy to configure from the terminal.

[01:11] <jasper> after installing the latest nvidia drivers and beryl, when I try to initialize it I get an error.. would someone be able to help?
[01:11] <jo__> mike71b: sounds like permission issue
[01:11] <bimberi> cotton: C I'd say
[01:11] <mike71b> Oddly enough about one in ten tries gets me in, no passwd
[01:11] <dyrne> jasper: what error?  just a line or two dont flood :)
[01:11] <cotton> Unacceptable
[01:12] <Vulcan40> fresh install of Feisty with new Nvidia 7600gs video card. Enabled restricted drivers now on boot get Unsupported Video Mode. What should I do
[01:12] <JeffAMcGee> Is there anything I should do after I upgrade most of my hardware?
[01:12] <mike71b> Thats what is so weird about it, every once in a while the contents pop right up, or if in edgy works flawlessly
[01:12] <ziggy23> danlock: Have found SSH from terminal a bear to configure, but I am a newbie!

[01:12] <Alonea> jasper: X errors are normal
[01:13] <Alonea> jasper: its referring to the lack of a wacom tablet. there is a way to turn that off, but I forgot how.
[01:13] <jasper> Alonea: it doesn't start though? or am I missing something
[01:13] <kraudio> hi all
[01:13] <SlimeyPete> jasper: that error occurs because Ubuntu always configures X to look for a Wacom tablet, even if you don't have one. Ignore it
[01:13] <kraudio> someone use joost with ubuntu?
[01:13] <SlimeyPete> it won't break anything
[01:13] <tim167> why can't i paste text from OpenOffice into a Thunderbird mail !?
[01:13] <mike71b> I don't think permissions, same user and passwd b/t edgy and feisty
[01:14] <Alonea> jasper: sometimes I have to do it a couple times before the password box comes up. Sometimes I have better luck does the command in the Run Command dialogue
[01:14] <mike71b> Any other ideas on the windows browsing problem?
[01:14] <lmosher> What's a good PDF reader that has abilities similar to acrobat that will let me select and copy pictures?
[01:14] <Vulcan40>  fresh install of Feisty with new Nvidia 7600gs video card. Enabled restricted drivers now on boot get Unsupported Video Mode. What should I do
[01:14] <dyrne> tim167: there are in effect two clipboards  stuff copied in one doesnt always paste when a app uses the other. that might be it
[01:14] <jasper> I think I've started beryl... but all that happens now is the taskbar is gone
[01:14] <SlimeyPete> lmosher: Acrobat. Or else xpdf is quite good (not sure if it lets you copy images though)
[01:14] <tim167> dyrne: ok so how do i work around this ?
[01:14] <mike71b> Vulcan, are you getting dropped to the terminal when booting?
[01:15] <Alonea> lmosher: konqueror does that just fine.
[01:15] <lmosher> SlimeyPete, it looks like acrobat won't install from apt. Where do I get it? says no installation candidate?
[01:15] <Vulcan40> mike71b no
[01:15] <thebillywayne> Vulcan40, reboot in recovery mode.  then, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:15] <lmosher> Alonea, I'm on gnome
[01:15] <Alonea> lmosher: on the select text you can save the selected area as text or a picture.
[01:15] <SlimeyPete> lmosher: it's proprietary software. It might be available if you enable Universe and Multiverse, I'm not sure. If not, just go to the Adobe Acrobat Reader website and grab it from there.
[01:15] <Alonea> lmosher: ok. know nothing from the differences from kde to gnome. what opens the pdfs in that?
[01:16] <kr3ml> is there a shortcut key that I can press to be able to close all the open windows...? you know the same button that is in the bottom left
[01:16] <abg> i recently installed japanese, but now that it's set up, i don't know how to switch back and forth between that and english. is there a hotkey to switch between them?
[01:16] <Vulcan40> thanks will try
[01:16] <shmeelAway> two questions:  if i buy a PCMCIA soundcard, will it work on fiesty? and how do i get the fingerprint scanner working, what program?
[01:16] <jasper> Alonea: okay.. now I've lost the taskbar and window resize options.. and no beryl whatsoever :( anyone knows how I can get it back?
[01:16] <jo__> mike71b: but even same user and password, you are for system not the same one. under windows you'll have to set permissions to write and read for all users, perhaps, at least i know this problem when sharing folder s in linux network,,,
[01:16] <kr3ml> sorry... not closed... minimized!
[01:17] <tim167> how do i copy a text from OpenOffice to Thinderbird ?
[01:17] <Alonea> jasper: sorry. don't know
[01:17] <kitche> !codecs | jlu
[01:17] <ubotu> jlu: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[01:17] <tim167> * how do i copy a text from OpenOffice to Thunderbird ?
[01:18] <GaiaX11_> tim167: do you want to send the text by email?
[01:18] <thebillywayne> tim167, select the field, right click it, select copy, move the cursor to the thunderbird window.  right click the field and select paste.
[01:18] <Alonea> lmosher: if kubuntu uses konq, what does ubuntu use? I thought they used same or similar stuff
[01:18] <SlimeyPete> tim167: it should just work, but if it doesn't then copy the text into a text editor first then insert it into the email
[01:18] <jlu> kitche: its not the codecs. i lack hardware accelleration. and with beryl it's even worse.
[01:18] <tim167> GaiaX11 yes, i tried avery copy/paste action, none works
[01:18] <lmosher> Alonea, As a general rule if it starts with a K it's for KDE...
[01:18] <mike71b> Yep permissions are wide open on the folder... sometimes the contents will be displayed and I copied a 3 gig folder over... just every once in a while no wait icon but straight into the folder and I can read or write there ... just strange fine as day under 6.10
[01:18] <GaiaX11_> tim167: Open office can send it straight away
[01:18] <jinxed> Is XGL different from beryl?
[01:19] <tim167> SlimeyPete: there are 3 images in my OpenOffice text, which i also want to copy to my email
[01:19] <kitche> jinxed: yes XGL is a server that beryl/compiz can use to work
[01:19] <jlu> kitche: everything looks like crap. especially in full-screen.
[01:19] <Alonea> lmosher: I get that, but I am saying what is the gnome equivalent, and maybe it does same as ours does.
[01:19] <SlimeyPete> jinxed: XGL is an extension for the X server. Beryl is a program which can make use of this extension.
[01:19] <kitche> jlu: then don't use beryl
[01:19] <tim167> GaiaX11, i want the text in my Oo document to be part of a larger mail i have in Thunderbird
[01:19] <mike71b> If i try the whole browsing sequence from menu to network to computer to share right into the folder ....
[01:19] <jasper> using ctrl+alt+backspace and startx I did get the taskbar back.. still dont know what to do about the beryl error though
[01:19] <jinxed> SlimeyPete, how would i go about getting xgl
[01:19] <lmosher> Alonea, I've tested it.
[01:20] <GaiaX11_> tim167: You do not need to copy/paste to send it.
[01:20] <kitche> jlu: beryl/compiz still ahevs oem problems with playing videos among other multimedia things
[01:20] <Scottc> Are there any C++ IDEs for Ubuntu?
[01:20] <kristian> hello
[01:20] <SlimeyPete> jinxed: use synaptic to install xserver-xgl, IIRC
[01:20] <mike71b> About one in 10 gets me in ... the fail box 9 out of 10
[01:20] <GaiaX11_> tim167: Configure openoffice to use thunderbird then
[01:20] <jinxed> SlimeyPete, whats synamptic?
[01:20] <Scottc> something that makes a makefile for me maybe? manages coding projects?
[01:21] <dyrne> Scottc: most people end up using vim with syntax highlighting. there is kdevelop i think a number of others
[01:21] <SlimeyPete> jinxed: the package manager. System -> Tools -> Synaptic Package Manager. It's the main way of installing software on Ubuntu.
[01:21] <Alonea> lmosher: ok. sorry then. Don't know what else does pdfs.
[01:21] <jlu> kitche: hehe, yeah, well. i guess i could get rid of beryl (even though it was acctually what made me go ubuntu). but, even if i do, things do not work properly. in mplayer it works somewhat better than in totem, but there's still problems with motion.
[01:21] <tim167> GaiaX11 the problem seems to be i cant copy an image from a Oo doc to thunderbird, text alone works
[01:21] <kitche> jlu: what's your video card?
[01:21] <Soccrmastr> the "main" way, I never use Synaptic
[01:21] <jlu> kitche: i915
[01:21] <SlimeyPete> jinxed: if you're using Kubuntu then it's called Adept, or if you're in a terminal it's called apt-get. They're all basically the same thing.
[01:22] <xDCDx> hello
[01:22] <mzanfardino> is there some way to determine if one or more vector exists for a layer (programmatically)?
[01:22] <kitche> jlu: that should have hardware acceleration
[01:22] <mzanfardino> nm
[01:22] <GaiaX11_> tim167: Have you tried evolution?
[01:23] <tim167> GaiaX11, nah i'll fix it this way, importing the pics manually, thanks anyway!
[01:23] <jlu> kiche: oh yes, the card does. it seems ubuntu it not using it though. but don't take my word for it technically - it's just my way of describing what i'm seeing. it looks like when you turn off hardware acceleration under windows.
[01:23] <GaiaX11_> tim167: configure you account in evolution. Config openoffice to use evolution
[01:23] <GaiaX11_> tim167: Ok. It's up to you :-)
[01:24] <kitche> jlu: yeah see XGL actually takes away hardware acceleration but think your probably using AIGLX which comes with X
[01:24] <jinxed> SlimeyPete, what did you say about IIRC I found the xserver-xgl but not IIRC
[01:24] <kitche> jlu: what does glxinfo|grep rendering tell you in a terminal
[01:24] <SlimeyPete> jinxed: sorry... IIRC means "If I Remember Correctly". It's an abbreviation which is commonly used on IRC. You don't need to install it.
[01:25] <xDCDx> I added 'PATH=$PATH:/usr/sbin/heura' to /etc/bash.bashrc and rebooted. This new path has the scripts, foo.sh, that works by typing 'foo.sh' when I'm a regular user. When I do 'sudo -i', I can do foo.sh and works fine. But 'sudo foo.sh' says: 'foo.sh: command not found', but 'sudo /usr/sbin/heura/foo.sh' works fine.
[01:25] <jlu> kitche: without beryl running it says "direct rendering Yes"
[01:25] <xDCDx> what's the problem?
[01:25] <jinxed> alright i installed xserver-xgl how do I switch it to that instead of whatever it was running on before SlimeyPete
[01:25] <jlu> kiche: i have no idea wat AIGLX or XGL is... :)
[01:26] <rr_lap> why cant i set mode monitor on my wifi card?
[01:26] <pieman> anyone here running an nforce 5 or 6 chipset with a core 2 duo?
[01:26] <tim167> is there a commandline program to rescale an image (make it small for web) ? thanks
[01:26] <SlimeyPete> jinxed: just log out and then back in again. You won't notice any difference unless you load Beryl or Compiz, though.
[01:27] <jasper> when I click on the beryl-manager or beryl-settings-manager icons they don't even start
[01:27] <xDCDx> tim167: try 'man convert', or search for imagemagick on google
[01:27] <mjr> tim167, convert and mogrify from the imagemagick package do wonders for command line image manipulation
[01:27] <Scottc> why this os look like mac?
[01:27] <jlu> kitche: i while back when i was messing with this someone told me to configure gstreamer using some command i cant remember to use "vx".
[01:27] <jinxed> k
[01:27] <jinxed> brb
[01:27] <shmeelAway> two questions:  if i buy a PCMCIA soundcard, will it work on fiesty? and how do i get the fingerprint scanner working, what program?
[01:27] <tim167> mjr, xDCDX ok i'll check it thanks!
[01:28] <mjr> shmeelAway, 1) depends on the card 2) probably not, but I'm not sure
[01:28] <Scottc> hey why ubuntu look like mac so much?
[01:28] <Scottc> :O
[01:28] <mrrcp> sc0tt_,   ?
[01:28] <nickrud> jasper, are you using an ati card?
[01:28] <holycow> Scottc, why not?
[01:28] <shmeelAway> mjr, what card types work?
[01:28] <pieman> hern.. having some issues with SMP with my core 2 duo... for some odd reason /interrupts shows all 0's for core 1 and seems like core 0 is doing all the work and the flow is not sharing between both cores... so wondering if any other nforce 5 or 6 chipset  and core 2 duo people are having any issues like that...
[01:29] <jasper> nickrud: I'm using an nvidia 6600 GT with the latest drivers
[01:29] <Scottc> It looks like mac ok?
[01:29] <jdraper> what's a good X app for monitoring my net/cpu/mem load, battery status, etc?
[01:29] <nickrud> jasper, then I will just watch and learn :)
[01:29] <jdraper> im using fluxbox
[01:29] <mjr> shmeelAway, refer to http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/index.php?vendor=All#matrix
[01:29] <pieman> conky
[01:29] <holycow> shmeelAway, make sure the pcmcia card is known to have an open source driver and its available in your version of ubuntu
[01:29] <jdraper> i need something small
[01:29] <jdraper> conky is big
[01:29] <holycow> or what mjr said
[01:29] <pieman> edit conkyrc..........
[01:29] <shmeelAway> mjr, holycow alright thanks
[01:29] <mike71b> Sometimes I can display the contents of a widows share, I can read, copy from, and write to the folder.. 9 out of 10 times I get folder contents could not be displayed... flawless with 6.10, permissions aren't a problem what changed with samba b/t edgy feisty?
[01:29] <pieman> and make it small....
[01:29] <mjr> oops, actually that matrix is outdated, but it has the new link at top, http://bugtrack.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Main
[01:29] <danlock2> okay, here goes nothing.... i'm starting to hate server edition
[01:30] <Scottc> srsly this thing looks like a mac clone
[01:30] <shmeelAway> mrj, everything listed on that page works?
[01:30] <mjr> shmeelAway, no. Read the legend.
[01:30] <shmeelAway> ahh k
[01:32] <Pelo> Scottc,  apple copies from the best
[01:32] <kitche> Scottc: gnome was actually used on Mac classic along ago
[01:32] <danlock2> okay, so, after i install openssh-server, i need to configure my stupid eth0
[01:32] <bododo> hi again :)
[01:33] <Slart> I'm having progblems with my Nforce4 on board soundcard (CK804, uses module snd_intel8x0). In my dmesg I get a line that says "[   38.505690]  Intel ICH: probe of 0000:00:0d.0 failed with error -12". What program/software is doing the probing? where can I find what this error message means?
[01:33] <jlu> kitche: you don't happen to know the command for changing video output in totem? there was some special program that had to be run, not like mplayer where you can change things from within the program...
[01:33] <bododo> i want to download all the packages for an apache, php mysql packages to install them on a non Internet-connected machine, how can i do? (dependencies resolution)
[01:34] <Pelo> !sound | Slart   check your pm windows for a msg from ubotu
[01:34] <ubotu> Slart   check your pm windows for a msg from ubotu: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[01:34] <kitche> jlu: nope but it's probably -nv maybe or xv added to the totem command
[01:34] <nickrud> bododo, there's an app called apt-zip: it will put the debs you need onto a removable device, like a thumbdrive
[01:34] <bododo> nickrud: is it available by default or should i install it?
[01:35] <jlu> kitche: it was gstreamer-config or something... hmm. thanks anyway...

[01:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dell - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:35] <jlu> kitche: :)
[01:35] <nickrud> bododo, you'll need to install it, it's in universe

[01:35] <kitche> jlu: well it all depends on what totem is using sicne it can use gstreamer or xine think my way is the xine way
[01:35] <bododo> nickrud: thanks a bunch!! :)
[01:36] <nickrud> bododo, yw
[01:36] <jlu> kitche: would you say xine is better (to me it's just another acronym.. :) )
[01:36] <kitche> jlu: it might be but myself I use vlc since it handles everything that I want
[01:36] <bododo> nickrud: a last question, please :) can i specify a directory and not a drive for the packages retrievement?
[01:37] <morodock_> trying to change my boot image with splashimage (hd0,1)/boot/grub/images/ubuntu.xpm.gz - but I don't think my hd is named hd0. How do I find out what my boot drive device is called?
[01:37] <bobbob1016> I'm trying to do the seamless windows setup from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeamlessVirtualization and I can't seem to get it working, it to work seamless.  I've installed XP in it, and when I run the rdesktop command, it just sits there
[01:38] <nickrud> bododo, if I remember correctly, no. But, that was a long time ago, it may have gotten better.
[01:38] <bobbob1016> did anyone set up the seamless windows?
[01:38] <ubuntuEdgy> dose any one know why my "login sound" has stopped working after upgrading to feisty.
[01:38] <bododo> nickrud: ok, thanks again :)
[01:38] <dyrne> what is seamless? something using qemu?
[01:38] <Pelo> morodock_,   (hd0,0) means   hdA,B where A is the hdd and B is the partition,  the numberring system starts with 0,   check your grub menu for and copy the (hd0,0) of your regular ubuntu boot menu idem
[01:38] <makuseru> how can i extract a .7 archive
[01:39] <jlu> kitche: i've tried vlc too. under beryl it crashes like a plane from an hezbollah conference.
[01:39] <Pelo> ubuntuEdgy,  maybe it was turned off,  check in menu > system > prefs > sounds
[01:39] <morodock_> Pelo: thanks man :)
[01:39] <bododo> nickrud: actually i'm used to fedora core, and i (shame on me) don't know how to install these downloaded packages on that connexion-less machine
[01:39] <Pelo> makuseru, using fileroller but you 'll need to add 7zip support, get if from synaptic
[01:39] <ubuntuEdgy> Pelo:i tryed that it wont even play the soounds
[01:39] <Pelo> ubuntuEdgy, check the forum
[01:40] <ubuntuEdgy> just silence, but i can hear the drums at start
[01:40] <nickrud> bododo, as a last resort, change to the directory where you mount the device, then sudo dpkg * will install all of the debs you've downloaded in a sane way
[01:40] <Manawyddan> Hi, everyone, can anyone give me a bit of information? i know this question may be off topic, but here it goes: Is it possible to install Ubuntu on an Apple computer with the new Intel Core CPU's?
[01:40] <Pelo> ubuntuEdgy,  make sure the path to the file is correct
[01:40] <nickrud> bododo, but I think I remember apt-zip writing a script for that
[01:41] <ubuntuEdgy> Pelo:  its correct /usr/share/sounds
[01:41] <Pelo> Manawyddan,  I think you are suppose to use the x86  cd to do that
[01:41] <bododo> nickrud: ok thank you! say i mkdir /mnt/virtual-usb-key will this make it? :)
[01:41] <Pelo> ubuntuEdgy, codecs ?
[01:41] <dyrne> Manawyddan: try the livecd
[01:41] <nickrud> bododo, if you just plug in the thumbdrive, it should automagically show up under /media
[01:41] <dyrne> Manawyddan: doesnt apple do some restricted bios thing though?
[01:41] <bododo> nickrud: no usb thumb right now :(
[01:42] <bianconeri> Hello guys, I have a seemingly easy problem, I have Feisty on an HP laptop, everything was working fine. Then one day I try to log in, it logs in for 5 seconds and then brings me back to the login screen. I created a new user and that seems to work fine, so there must be something wrong with my original account....how could I probe whats wrong with it?
[01:42] <ubuntuEdgy>  Pelo: nah it worked before
[01:42] <nickrud> bododo, hm.
[01:42] <rr_lap> why cant i set mode monitor on my wifi card?

[01:43] <bododo> nickrud: actually, i don't see the difference (IMHO) since this utility will work a FMS level, no matter if it's a drive since it's mounted, right?
[01:43] <Manawyddan> dyrne: that's my doubt
[01:43] <Pelo> gravemind,  , rr_lap    this is the channel where you could get help but there doesn't seem to be anyone with the skills to help you atm , sorry

[01:44] <Manawyddan> but isn't the the version x86 only for 32bit computers?
[01:44] <nickrud> bododo, when I used it I had to create a partition for apt-zip to mount and unmount. It was written to scratch a particular person's itch. I'm reading the manpage now
[01:44] <Manawyddan> ok, thanks.
[01:44] <rr_lap> is it a driver issue?
[01:44] <dyrne> bobbob1016: using localhost?

[01:57] <SirBob1701> or do you think their might be a software issure or a router issue?
[01:58] <Pelo> SirBob1701,  physical damage seems a likely suspect, especialy if it was working properly before

[02:07] <ubuntunoob> keeps saying x server is running
[02:07] <crimsun> ubuntunoob: because on Debian-based systems, by default, runlevels 2-5 are identical.  You really want to stop gdm or kdm.
[02:07] <Bradf0rd> Does anyone know how to open ports for Bittorrent?
[02:07] <ubuntunoob> jlu:its called parted, install it
[02:07] <Xenguy> jlu: partimage is worth a look IIRC

[02:17] <gravemind> hey does the ubuntu live cd do defragmentation for ntfs, so you get more space for your ubuntu partition :(
[02:17] <CCmonster> where is change session at?
[02:17] <LjL> !pm | Bradf0rd, i don't know how to use ntfs-3g either, i don't like to break drives
[02:17] <ubotu> Bradf0rd, i don't know how to use ntfs-3g either, i don't like to break drives: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first, some find it rude.
[02:17] <gravemind> oops, that hsould be a : )
[02:17] <LjL> just try and follow the instructions i guess
[02:17] <mike71b> thanks gksudo gedit worked great.
[02:18] <MezzoTiNt> since i installed feisty, whenever i put my laptop in standby for the second time, it just goes black and hangs, i'm afraid this is an X issue, but i'm not sure.. any clues ? ( xgl / ati )
[02:18] <LjL> CCmonster: your login screen.
[02:18] <mike71b> Hot to stop and restart samba?
[02:18] <LjL> mike71b:  sudo invoke-rc.d samba restart
[02:18] <Bradf0rd> Does anyone know how to use ntfs-3g?
[02:18] <ubuntunoob> jlu: choose the partiotion, click resize change size to 12GB
[02:19] <barbarella_me> Hanusz_Leszek:/nickserv set passwd oldpassword newpas
[02:19] <CCmonster> LjL, so i set up group and users, and then went into terminal and sambpswd -a danah (gf's user name)
[02:19] <ubuntunoob> jlu: choose the partiotion, click resize change size to 12000
[02:19] <CCmonster> however, i still cannot access
[02:19] <admin_> hi all. i am wondering, how to set up a little script for shuting down other ubuntu computers via ssh... any ideas? i am a really stoopid programmer, btw....
[02:19] <jlu> ubuntonoob: hmm, it's greyed out. i wouldn't suppose it is a problem that it is my mounted system volume? :)
[02:19] <CCmonster> from her windows machine to my ubuntu machine
[02:19] <Punkunity> Myrtti, r u in here?
[02:20] <padee> hi all. i am wondering, how to set up a little script for shuting down other ubuntu computers via ssh... any ideas? i am a really stoopid programmer, btw....
[02:21] <Scottc> this kdevelop lacks intellisense.
[02:22] <yoho> ssh root@hostname shutdown -h 0
[02:22] <mike71b> How do I restart samba in Ubuntu tried services samba restart
[02:22] <ubuntunoob> CCmonster: you may have to log out : then before logging in look in the left corner amongst those for a change session radio-button, choose KDE, then say just for this session....have you installed KDE already?
[02:22] <LjL> mike71b: did  sudo invoke-rc.d samba restart  not work?
[02:23] <Punkunity> what is an easy program to use to make a website, kinda basic, but easy to manage?
[02:23] <CCmonster> its installing as we speak
[02:23] <holycow> Punkunity, the easiest is nvu
[02:23] <holycow> its in the repos
[02:23] <Punkunity> nvu is on feisty?
[02:23] <ubuntunoob> jlu: sorry, I dont know why it would be gryed out, soz
[02:23] <holycow> yep
[02:23] <Punkunity> ok ty
[02:23] <non|inear> i'm having problems with gedit and administrative stuff like users and groups, network, services, etc when i'm logged in root... when i try to open these things, the window is blank and can't load any files (in gedit)... can anyone help me figure out what is going on?
[02:23] <yoho> punku: a wiki
[02:24] <mike71b> I got an unknown initscript with  sudo invoke-rc.d samba restart
[02:24] <Punkunity> holycow nothing came up in synaptic for nvu
[02:24] <luiX_> hi
[02:24] <jlu> ubuntunoob: i'm guessing a livecd is the way to go...? so i can access unmounted partitions.
[02:24] <ubuntunoob> CCmonster, yeah ok, it'll be in the login screen then
[02:24] <holycow> Punkunity, enable all the other repos
[02:24] <LjL> mike71b: err, do you *have* samba installed? :-) (  apt-cache policy samba  will tell you)
[02:24] <Sleepy_Coder> non|inear: It could be that you're opening a file which doesn't exist....which would explain why the window is blank, because you just created it by opening it. :p
[02:24] <holycow> i think its in universe
[02:24] <yoho> usemodwiki is cool
[02:24] <Punkunity> how do i do that holycow, i think they are altready tho
[02:24] <CCmonster> do you use either kde or gnome?
[02:25] <Scottc> Is there any way to get anything like intellisense in kdevelop ?
[02:25] <Sleepy_Coder> Just a best guess though...
[02:25] <mike71b> Yeah, just edited my smb.conf
[02:25] <holycow> i don't have feisty here, i don't remember the app ... i think its systme / admin / software sources
[02:25] <ubuntunoob> jlu: aaahhh, youre in a livecd, thay "may" be the problem - have you mounted, and accessed the volume?
[02:25] <barbarella_me> mike71b:is there a samba in /etc/init.d ?
[02:25] <LjL> mike71b: that you have a smb.conf doesn't mean you have samba.
[02:26] <non|inear> sleepy: it happens when i try to open e.g. menu.lst from the console as root... i can only open it with nano, and when i try that i usually get an authentication eror even though i'm using the right pass.  ANd the only way i can access the network window is from a terminal using gksudo network-admin... and that only works &*sometimes*
[02:26] <ubuntunoob> CCmonster, I use gnome, cause its default, but KDE has good audio apps that i use
[02:26] <jlu> ubuntunoob: no, i'm not in a livecd now. but the partition i want to resize is my mounted ubuntu primary partition. so, i maybe need to use the "gparted livecd" to access the system without it being mounted.... hmm?
[02:26] <fouressence> I've mirrored the entire Ubuntu repository and burned them onto DVDs (dialup at home), but I'm having trouble getting apt-get to use them instead of downloading everything.
[02:27] <CCmonster> i like amarok alot, but it wont flippin run
[02:27] <non|inear> sleepyL when i try to open menyu.lst in gedit, gedit loads but the file doen'st load.  evewntually i force the app to quit
[02:27] <mike71b>  Figured it was using samba in nautilus I can browse to the windows shares... that's smb yes?
[02:27] <CCmonster> it keeps locking up anytime i add to my playlist
[02:27] <LjL> mike71b: no
[02:27] <fouressence> When I have only the dvds in sources.list, it works, but if I also add the online sources, the online ones take over for *everything*
[02:27] <CCmonster> if i logout and switch managers, will it close my programs?
[02:27] <LjL> mike71b: well, yes, it's "smb", but Samba is a server
[02:27] <barbarella_me> mike71b:the client, not the server
[02:27] <kaiechi> can any1 help me, the scroll wheel of my USB mouse doesnt work
[02:28] <ubuntunoob> jlu: oh i get you now - yeah that would be the easy way out. I use hiren's boot cd 8 for that sort of thing though
[02:28] <Punkunity> holycow???
[02:28] <LjL> fouressence: tried just reversing the order?
[02:28] <jlu> ubuntonoob: ah, thanks! you're the most knowledgable noob ever! ;)
[02:29] <fouressence> LjL: Mhmm.  Tried it both ways...
[02:29] <Sleepy_Coder> non|inear: "menyu.lst" doesn't exist. 0.o  Was that a typo?
[02:29] <Punkunity> whats the nvu massive pack?
[02:29] <LjL> Sleepy_Coder: menu.lst
[02:29] <padee> hi all. i am wondering, how to set up a little script for shuting down other ubuntu computers via ssh... any ideas?
[02:29] <non|inear> sleepy: sorry, menu.lst.  i type sloppy and lazy to fix errors:)
[02:29] <ubuntunoob> jlu: hey i was able to resize a partition on my other system using my 6.10 livecd
[02:30] <Sleepy_Coder> Hmm, then I'm clueless. :)  I thought you might have just created a file "menyu.lst". :D
[02:30] <non|inear> hehe
[02:30] <non|inear> i wish that was the prob :)
[02:30] <bulle> padee: just have it execute "shutdown -h now"
[02:30] <Sleepy_Coder> LjL:  I have a picture to show you later of how I tweaked my menu.lst. :D  So freaking rad.
[02:30] <bulle> padee: you might have to add a line to sudo that allows that command for that particular user, without password
[02:31] <tokyo25> when i download a music file from isohunt and try to play it. it ays its encrypted, anything i can do?
[02:31] <jlu> ubuntunoob: thanks for all your help. now - bed. tomorrow - resize partition! ;)
[02:31] <non|inear> it's frustrating to make such a simple edit by having to open menu.lst, edit, save a copy in home, and move to the right dir as root LOL
[02:31] <ubuntunoob> jlu: good lu k :)
[02:31] <Wiseguy> hey guys, are there any tools for mounting dvd images so they act like it was actually burned... daemon tools for windows is the equivalent of what im looking for

[02:31] <LjL> !mountiso > Wiseguy    (Wiseguy, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:31] <c01100011> setting vmplayer to run an existing windows install, I don't want to slip up and accidentally let grub load ubuntu , I am thinking of putting a windows boot floppy image. Will that bypass grub and boot directly into windows
[02:32] <Neil-> HEy all, anyone know about SABnzb?
[02:32] <Sleepy_Coder> non|inear: lol
[02:32] <LjL> Wiseguy: also, there is the "gmountiso" package that lets you do that in a GUI
[02:32] <Neil-> Need http-proxy support for nzb grabbing
[02:32] <polysynaptic> anybody able to help with wireless on Feisty?
[02:32] <Sleepy_Coder> non|inear: You could try installing a different text editor.  MousePad?  Or.....er....I dunno what else.
[02:32] <Sleepy_Coder> non|inear: Or re-installing gedit. 0.o
[02:32] <Quixotic> hi
[02:32] <Wiseguy> LjL cool thanks
[02:32] <Sleepy_Coder> Okay, here's how I wasted 6 hours. :p   http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b100/photoricon/too_much_free_time.jpg
[02:32] <lokk> does anyone know where I can get the Rhythmlet gdesklet data, i installed the the latest gdesklet data files but the rhythmlet ones still don't work
[02:32] <Quixotic> is there any other ubuntu related chat rooms on this server that arent for tech support ?
[02:33] <fouressence> polysynaptic: I could certainly give it a try. :)  Just got it working for myself.
[02:33] <Sleepy_Coder> Well, not quite 6 hours... (exaggeration, but whatever)
[02:33] <bulle> padee: yes, just write a bash script
[02:33] <Neil-> Anyone know if sabnzbd can use a http proxy?
[02:33] <LjL> !channels > Quixotic    (Quixotic, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:33] <polysynaptic> hey fouressence! thanks I would appreciate any input
[02:33] <polysynaptic> fouressence: I use ra2500 with WPAPSK on a DDWRT router

[02:33] <padee> bulle: bash script? hold on, i'll check that on www... no idea how that works..
[02:34] <Quixotic> thx ljl
[02:34] <ubuntunoob> non|inear: pico --- insert file  directory-----
[02:34] <Wiseguy> LjL, or maybe french :P
[02:34] <polysynaptic> I've removed network-manager and network-manager gnome and configured my /etc/network/interfaces with the PSK in text and hex
[02:34] <MezzoTiNt> Sleepy_Coder: that looks awesome :P
[02:34] <polysynaptic> rebooted both my router and my machine and still unable to connect
[02:34] <Sleepy_Coder> MezzoTiNt: Thanks. :D  It was fun. :)
[02:34] <fouressence> polysynaptic: I'm using the ra73, so more-or-less close.  I'd recommend downloading the serialmonkey drivers:
[02:35] <fouressence> polysynaptic: Actually, let me back up a little: does your wireless card work yet?
[02:35] <polysynaptic> I did that too. using this tutorial http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=241565
[02:35] <Tarkus> variant, you still there?
[02:36] <polysynaptic> foure: yes, worked perfectly in Dapper about two days ago
[02:36] <variant> Tarkus: yes, only just
[02:36] <MezzoTiNt> anyone here ran into trouble with xgl and suspend ? the first suspend works, the second hangs the machine >.<
[02:37] <fouressence> polysynaptic: Alrighty.  There are some differences though between Dapper and Feisty, apparently, in regards to wireless...  Have you gone through the serialmonkey tutorial for Feisty?
[02:37] <variant> Tarkus: y0, yes i am
[02:37] <fouressence> **tutorial while using Fesity (not a specific feisty one. puh)
[02:38] <Tarkus> variant, well, i just installed ubuntu, and all my folders are there in /home and /home/mike was created.. i tried to move the folders into /home/mike but it wont let me.. no permissions
[02:38] <padee> bulle: wohaa... that looks fairly complicated... i am a really bad programmer... hm... does that have something to do with cgi? perl?
[02:38] <bododo> hi folks
[02:38] <polysynaptic> fouressence: I may have, can you post me a link?
[02:38] <Tarkus> variant, but, whats really wierd is that i have permissions to move the stuff thats inside those folders..
[02:39] <bododo> i'm trying this:  sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx but this doesn't find any package, is it because i'm on a ppc?
[02:39] <polysynaptic> http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=21765&sid=b926f1d0ac2731c401bc3b0cb2a6227b
[02:39] <fouressence> polysynaptic: I mean just installing the serialmoney drivers in Feisty.  The Dapper stuff confused things a bit.
[02:39] <polysynaptic> confusing that it worked in Dapper, I installed Feisty and it won't work now?
[02:39] <bododo> where install xorg-driver-fglrx is?
[02:39] <Sleepy_Coder> LjL?  Can I PM you something?
[02:39] <variant> Tarkus: yeah, whatever permisions that existed on the files previously are interfearing with your current attempts to move them
[02:40] <fouressence> polysynaptic: That's what I'm saying --there seem to be strange differences like that.
[02:40] <Tarkus> variant, previously they had all permssions to all users, afaik..
[02:40] <polysynaptic> yes, I have installed the serialmonkey drivers. the tutorial in this link is what I was referring to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=241565
[02:40] <fouressence> okee dokes.

[02:42] <variant> tokyo25: no
[02:42] <bododo> personne? :(
[02:42] <tokyo25> ok
[02:42] <variant> tokyo25: it's not something you can reliably mesure
[02:42] <fouressence> polysynaptic: Arrrff, sorry, I have to get going.
[02:42] <MezzoTiNt> bododo: i'm using fglrx and glx
[02:42] <Tarkus> variant, alright, so i run that command to every folder in /home beside /home/mike (replace theDir with the folder name) correct?
[02:42] <MezzoTiNt> stuff..
[02:42] <variant> Tarkus: yep
[02:42] <tokyo25> mayve sum1 shud start a survey? ;)
[02:42] <Tarkus> variant, besides*
[02:42] <bododo> MezzoTiNt: i can't install it, is it because i'm on a ppc?
[02:42] <variant> Tarkus: then you should be able to move them into /home/mike
[02:42] <variant> Tarkus: absolutly NOT /home/mike though
[02:42] <Tarkus> variant, alright. thanks, gonna do that now
[02:43] <bododo> MezzoTiNt:  sudo apt-get install xorg-driver-fglrx ? right?
[02:43] <bododo> that doesn't work for me :(
[02:43] <MezzoTiNt> bododo: welll... did u have to add repositories ?
[02:43] <Sleepy_Coder> Okay, well, if there happen to be any opers for this channel listening, this should so go in the topic--if nobody minds me sayin so:  [17:37:14]  <non|inear> thanks so much for your help!  the support in this commonuity is unbeleivable

[02:44] <dooglus> does anyone have any advice on how to stop firefox crashing so often in feisty?

[02:44] <variant> dooglus: never crashes for me
[02:44] <Sleepy_Coder> I just felt warm and fuzzy inside for like 2 secs. :p
[02:44] <dooglus> variant: so you advice is that I should steal your computer?
[02:45] <variant> Tarkus: check the file permissions on them but if they are owned by anyone other than a user named "mike" then yes
[02:45] <variant> dooglus: you can have it seeing as it's al aptop and the screen broke yesterday
[02:45] <bododo> MezzoTiNt: still here, bro?
[02:45] <Tarkus> variant, it didnt work
[02:46] <variant> Tarkus: what command are you using?
[02:46] <variant> Tarkus: and what error did you get?
[02:46] <Tarkus> variant, it spat out a line for ever file in /music (thats the one i did first) and said 'operation not permited' beside them..
[02:46] <dooglus> is there any way I can get firefox to at least dump core when it crashes, so I can raise a reasonable bug report?
[02:46] <MezzoTiNt> bododo: i think i found the issue...
[02:46] <fsckr> to mp3's with amarok is all i need is the gstreamer?

[03:00] <swedekid> whenever i try to run WoW, my computer partially freezes but i can still move my mouse, any help?
[03:00] <Alonea> I seem to be having a lot of problems with mounting and umounting lately. My thumb drives are no longer automounting and I could not eject my cd drive without sticking a pin in the little hole on my drive to force it to eject. Also now have a locked folder called My Book which is my external hdd, but its not even plugged in now. Now my cdrom won't mount automatically like it usually does and...
[03:00] <Alonea> ...its a lot of trouble for me to figure out how to mount each one in new folders that I have to make and keep track of it.
[03:00] <r5a> ive tried switching mezzotinit
[03:00] <r5a> no effect
[03:00] <cables> Don, try closing all Firefox windows and hit alt-f2, then type firefox -safe-mode
[03:00] <drew> swedekid, try running -opengl after link to your wow.exe
[03:00] <mike71b> I have a lot of .flv files from youtube, what can I use in ubuntu to edit them ?
[03:00] <MezzoTiNt> nasty
[03:00] <cables> Don, see if it works in safe mode
[03:00] <BlueLaguna> Which package would pyrexc be in?
[03:01] <JonDubya> does ubuntu handle rpms?
[03:01] <rAstari> lol
[03:01] <cables> !rpm | JonDubya
[03:01] <usser> JonDubya: no
[03:01] <ubotu> JonDubya: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[03:01] <Don> Do you mean there is a "safemode" for Firefox?
[03:01] <swedekid> drew: whatdo i type in terminal?
[03:02] <cables> Don, yes
[03:02] <r5a> wait
[03:02] <variant> Don: i would mv .mozilla .mozilla-backup before doing anything
[03:02] <r5a> whats the number of keys
[03:02] <r5a> nvm
[03:02] <cables> variant, he's not "doing anything"
[03:02] <variant> Don: assuming you ahve any bookmarks or anything you want to keep
[03:02] <JonDubya> Does openvpn work with ubuntu?
[03:02] <cables> variant, i'm not telling him to clear his profile
[03:02] <mike71b>  Editing .flv files in ubuntu anyone? ?
[03:02] <MezzoTiNt> JonDubya: yes it does for me
[03:02] <Don> Yeah, I tried moving .mozilla to make sure it wasn't a profile issue but it didn't help.
[03:02] <rAstari> swedekid:is Swedish easy to learn, I'm moving to Malmo - I'm English
[03:02] <variant> Don: shame
[03:02] <r5a> WTF
[03:02] <JonDubya> MezzoTiNt: is it a package install or manual?
[03:02] <cables> Don, ok, that was my idea... sorry.
[03:03] <r5a> i just tried all the diffrent generic keybord settings
[03:03] <r5a> and they all still entier random symbols for keys
[03:03] <imperfectus> What script starts hald?
[03:03] <Don> He he no worries!
[03:03] <r5a>  is my forward slash
[03:03] <drew> swedekid, should be something like "wine /home/swedekid/.wine/drive_c/Program \Files/World \of \Warcraft/WoW.exe -opengl" check the exact directory link, I was just guesing on it.
[03:03] <MezzoTiNt> JonDubya: i did mine manual coz i wanted the latest version
[03:03] <swedekid> rAstari: not really, took me a couple years and im still not fluent, btw i live in kentucky

[03:04] <dealc> Is there anyway to see what packages are installed?
[03:04] <rAstari> swedekid: yeah ive started off with a prog. called "Rosetta Stone"
[03:04] <mike71b>  Editing .flv files in ubuntu anyone? ?
[03:05] <Don> OK, I gave firefox -safe-mode a shot but no dice.  It still does the same thing.
[03:05] <MezzoTiNt> dealc : look in your package manager ( synaptic )
[03:05] <Quixotic> if i put a . in front of a folder name will it make it hidden ?
[03:05] <Don> Most pages aren't loading all the way, if at all.
[03:05] <swedekid> rAstari: ive heard of it, but i just learned off the internet
[03:05] <swedekid> best way to learn would be to actually hear people speak it
[03:05] <MezzoTiNt> Quixotic: sortof...
[03:05] <dealc> MezzoTiNt: I have the non-GUI 6.10 server
[03:05] <swedekid> and btw most swedes speak english too

[03:07] <mike71b> I saw a thread on the overheating laptops on ubuntu forums the other day but didn;t read all of it

[03:08] <basbhat> any other ideas
[03:08] <jlu> rastari: yeah, i have many english/american friends. and none of them can speak a word (well, maybe a couple) after several years here.
[03:09] <eck> r5a: i think there's something you can dpkg-reconfigure that will guide you through autodetecting the keyboard; in the text installer there is a whole set of steps where you enter the letters you see and it detects what layout you have
[03:09] <basbhat> no im doing it for educational purposes
[03:09] <unc`matt> hi i need help with alsa mixer
[03:09] <gravemind> r5a do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and make sure you have the right keyboard selected
[03:09] <tritium> basbhat: take it somewhere else, basbhat
[03:09] <imperfectus> Anyone at all know how I turn off the automounting of CDROMS and stuff?
[03:09] <basbhat> tritium any suggestions?
[03:09] <Don> I even disabled ipv6 but it didn't help either.
[03:09] <eck> imperfectus: are you using gnome?
[03:09] <Quixotic> anyone know where i can find a wine support channel? like what server / channel would something like that be on ?
[03:09] <swedekid> drew: i tryed wine /home/swedekid/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/World of Warcraft/Launcher.exe -opengl but that didnt work
[03:09] <rAstari> jlu:which part you in?? Is Malmo a good place?
[03:09] <tritium> imperfectus: System->Preferences->Removable Drives and Media
[03:09] <MezzoTiNt> imperfectus: do u want them not automounted at all... or just not to appear on your desktop ?
[03:10] <eck> Quixotic: #winehq
[03:10] <swedekid> drew: it says wine: cannot find '/home/swedekid/.wine/drive_c/Program'
[03:10] <usser> Quixotic: that'd be #winehq

[03:11] <jlu> rastari: i'm in stockholm. sure, malmo is nice. it's close to copenhagen and they kinda mash up into a sprawl nowadays. if i didn't live here, malmo would probably be it.
[03:11] <Don> I also tried downloading Firefox <IP_ADDRESS>, <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> and running them from their own local directory.  They all did the same thing.
[03:11] <MezzoTiNt> ah yeah.. i had a crappy dvd once which only played when i shutdown the thing..
[03:11] <rAstari> imperfectus: were you able to before, and if so, did you alter or install anything?
[03:11] <mike71b> Anyone else here ever use EMC for CNC operations ?
[03:11] <dealc> Is there anyway to see what packages are installed?
