[03:41] <imbecile> okay i have a question that im sure will get a few people irritated.. Ho do i compile metasploit?
[03:41] <wireless_blues> n2diy, I can tell you dont know much about this stuff, but I still cannot ping router, but it says its connected, but router does not see laptop
[03:41] <HymnToLife> maul555, see the link !ubotu gave you - it has it all
[03:41] <plyp_werk> rcrook: "lsmod" will list the kernel modules that are currently loaded
[03:41] <pianoboy3333> Anyone here know of the inner workings of sudo? Is it possible to lock certain files for a user?
[03:41] <maul555> k, ill go study it and come back when i get stumped..   thx
[03:41] <SilentDis> bbiab.  got a download going, and I need to use the washroom.  i'll check in later once gdesklets is done downloading :)
[03:41] <glyn> if I download a debian package, how do I install it?
[03:42] <_TsU_> imbecile, just look at the website where you downloaded it :)
[03:42] <maul555> lol @ sadam
[03:42] <bruenig> glyn, sudo dpkg -i whatever.deb
[03:42] <HymnToLife> !dpkg | glyn
[03:42] <ubotu> glyn: dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.
[03:42] <glyn> thanks
[03:42] <band-aid> wireless_blues: ok I am installing ndiswrapper off of the CD
[03:42] <Derek> what is this alternative install like?  I should probably try to find a tutorial to walk me through it
[03:42] <band-aid> wireless_blues: where do I get the drivers? off the CD that came with my laptop?
[03:43] <alexander> sup all
[03:43] <alexander> im trying to set up an EFI boot... i need two partitions for boot? the normal unix partition and a FAT32 partition for ELILO? ive set up lvm partitions with /, /home, and /boot... ive also made a primary fat32 partition for elilo, is this correct?
[03:43] <rcrook> plyp_werk: I know... I need to know how they are loaded. I have a new module for my webcam but the older modules is loading as well. and I am trying to figure out how to prevent the older module from loading
[03:43] <imbecile> _TsU_ , i dont see the instructions
[03:43] <HymnToLife> rcrook, just blacklist them
[03:44] <_TsU_> imbecile, and you wont find them here :)
[03:44] <rcrook> ahh... in module.d/blacklist?
[03:44] <chris86wm> does anyone know how to make a keyboard shortcut that will open a program?
[03:44] <HymnToLife> in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist - add a line like this :               blacklist foo
[03:44] <imbecile> :/
[03:44] <HymnToLife> replace foo with the name of the module of course
[03:44] <rcrook> thanks HymnToLife :)
[03:45] <pianoboy3333> Anyone here know of the inner workings of sudo? Is it possible to lock certain files for a user?
[03:45] <glyn> Why can't I install libqt3-mt on Hoary?
[03:46] <bruenig> hoary, gees
[03:46] <Derek> hey, here's an interesting question.  I have my monitor connected with a DVI plug, does it need to be VGA?
[03:46] <_TsU_> pianoboy3333, you can change the rights for that user so he cant use sudo at all
[03:46] <bruenig> pianoboy3333, you can set it to have permissions so that that user can't access it
[03:46] <_TsU_> lol, bruenig
[03:46] <DigitalNinja> how do I use cdrecord in ubuntu? I'm trying to burn a CD from my server. No X
[03:47] <wireless_blues> band-aid, I am sorry about the delay
[03:47] <HymnToLife> digip1mp, man cdrecord :)
[03:47] <bruenig> man cdrecord
[03:47] <HymnToLife> pwn3d
[03:47] <Derek> TsU, do you know the answer to that?  Whether or not it's ok to use a DVI connection for my monitor
[03:47] <smax> hi
[03:47] <wireless_blues> band-aid, yes off the of wireless card cd, which maybe on your cd that came with the laptop, or you may need to find them online
[03:47] <pianoboy3333> bruenig: _TsU_: so if I create another user X, then with my sudo password, I couldn't edit those files made by user X?
[03:48] <smax> i installed build-essential and still i have no man pages for C library calls
[03:48] <wireless_blues> band-aid, atleast find out who the chipset is from and what it is and get those drivers
[03:48] <_TsU_> Derek, it has nothing to do with the OS :)
[03:48] <HymnToLife> pianoboy3333, sudo runs stuff as root, and root can edit anything
[03:48] <band-aid> wireless_blues: ok, I have all that
[03:48] <bruenig> pianoboy3333, now you still could, with sudo
[03:48] <TheDebugger> smax: You have to add the manpages yourself
[03:48] <smax> how ?
[03:48] <wireless_blues> band-aid, look at http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net at the wiki list of cards for more info
[03:48] <bruenig> no*
[03:48] <smax> is there a tutorial for this?
[03:48] <TheDebugger> smax: In synaptics...
[03:48] <band-aid> wireless_blues: I just did ndiswrapper -i w39n51.inf
[03:48] <bruenig> !info glib-doc
[03:48] <ubotu> Package glib-doc does not exist in any distro I know
[03:49] <pianoboy3333> bruenig: HymnToLife: There's my issue
[03:49] <bruenig> !info glibc-doc
[03:49] <ubotu> glibc-doc: GNU C Library: Documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 2.4-1ubuntu12 (edgy), package size 1641 kB, installed size 1980 kB
[03:49] <TheDebugger> smax: Look for the packages starting with manpage
[03:49] <Derek> alright, good, heh
[03:49] <bruenig> pianoboy3333, well there is nothing you are going to be able to do to make it where the super user can't access it
[03:49] <pianoboy3333> bruenig: that's why I'm wondering if I can limit files to be only edited/not able to be edited by a certain user
[03:49] <HymnToLife> pianoboy3333, if I got it correcly, you want to have a user who can do everything BUT edit given files ?
[03:49] <Derek> does anyone here know how well wine works?
[03:49] <pianoboy3333> HymnToLife: correct
[03:49] <HymnToLife> hmm
[03:49] <bruenig> pianoboy3333, they can only edit it with sudo, and if they don't know the sudo password, then they can't do it
[03:50] <dtg> wine is good
[03:50] <bruenig> pianoboy3333, so just don't tell them your password, and then they can't mess with it
[03:50] <HymnToLife> I know how to have a user being able to run only specific commands
[03:50] <HymnToLife> but not the other way around
[03:50] <pianoboy3333> dtg: yes it is :)
[03:50] <_TsU_> !info pydev
[03:50] <ubotu> Package pydev does not exist in any distro I know
[03:50] <pianoboy3333> bruenig: what do you mean?
[03:51] <_TsU_> anyone used pydev with eclipse here?
[03:51] <jorgp> anyone have any group id 11?
[03:51] <bruenig> pianoboy3333, ok let me get this straight, you are the main user, you have setup an account, and therefore your user's password is also the sudo password, You are trying to setup another user, user X and you want to make sure user X can't edit your stuff.
[03:51] <JAyRULE> whats a good ftp for ubuntu with a good gui
[03:51] <bruenig> or have I mixed that up
[03:52] <bruenig> !info gftp
[03:52] <ubotu> gftp: X/GTK+ FTP client. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.0.18-14ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 44 kB, installed size 76 kB
[03:52] <bruenig> if you mean client
[03:52] <JAyRULE> sorry, whats a good ftp server for ubuntu with a good gui
[03:52] <smax> TheDebugger: thanx
[03:52] <rcrook> woohoo thank plyp_werk and HymnToLife .. worked a charm:)
[03:54] <pianoboy3333> bruenig: kinda, my situation is I'm the main user, and I have setup an account, so my password is obv.the sudo password, and I want to setup another user, who cannot edit config files x, y, and z in like /etc/myconfigfiles/
[03:55] <bruenig> pianoboy3333, right he won't be able to edit those, the only way to edit them is with sudo and he doesn't know the sudo password unless you tell him and so it is fine
[03:56] <pianoboy3333> bruenig: but.... anyone can use sudo, sudo works with your user password...
[03:56] <pianoboy3333> bruenig: you're thinking of su, which uses a root password
[03:56] <_TsU_> not all
[03:56] <bruenig> pianoboy3333, it works with the password of the main user
[03:56] <bruenig> pianoboy3333, not the accounts you setup afterwards
[03:57] <pianoboy3333> bruenig: but this other user also wants to be able install packages and such
[03:57] <bruenig> well it is one or the other
[03:57] <HymnToLife> then configure sudo so apt-get is the only comand the user can run as root
[03:57] <pianoboy3333> bruenig: that's my problem....
[03:57] <bruenig> well you can do that, go through each command that you want to be able to run without sudo
[03:57] <bruenig> but that seems bothersome
[03:58] <pianoboy3333> bruenig: it is
[03:58] <pianoboy3333> uggg
[03:58] <band-aid> can anyone help me with ndiswrapper
[03:58] <bruenig> pianoboy3333, why would he try to write over your stuff
[03:59] <pianoboy3333> band-aid: I actually can, but have you read the wiki first?
[03:59] <bruenig> pianoboy3333, I mean if you give him access to apt-get, he could just apt-get remove everything you have
[03:59] <pianoboy3333> band-aid: I haven't used it in a while also
[03:59] <band-aid> pianoboy3333: yes, I have read the installation guide. I appears to be installed correctyl but my card still shows up as eth1
[04:00] <HymnToLife> bruenig, then make it so he only can apt-get install :p
[04:00] <kimo> How do I re-scan the SCSI bus? I've just powered on my SCSI scanner and I'd like to know if there is a way I can get it recognised without having to reboot.
[04:00] <band-aid> pianoboy3333: when I do ndiswrapper -l it says that the driver is installed
[04:00] <bruenig> what a beating, just buy him his own computer and be done with it
[04:00] <pianoboy3333> band-aid: h, can't help you with that
[04:00] <band-aid> :(
[04:00] <band-aid> how much is ubuntu technical support lol
[04:01] <kd7swh> have you posted to the forum?
[04:01] <pianoboy3333> bruenig: a friend of mine, wants to install parental controls for his son, so he was wondering if he could just lock the config files, because his son wants to still do system crap, like installing/removing packages and such, but that's true, he could just remove the packages
[04:01] <kd7swh> band aid. try posting on the forum
[04:01] <_TsU_> good night all, time to sleep (4am :D )
[04:02] <kd7swh> 4am? where are you france?
[04:02] <band-aid> kd7swh: I have posted under wireless/networking topic title: I haven't the slightest what I'm doing. I haven't gotten any replies yet
[04:02] <_TsU_> kd7swh, Algeria
[04:03] <HymnToLife> oh damn, 4am already
[04:03] <kd7swh> _TsU_ wow, its 8 pm here
[04:03] <_TsU_zZz> lol,
[04:03] <Arafangion> Hello, can I boot the live CD on a 64-bit AMD Dell system without any legacy components, such as USB, etc, and using SATA?
[04:03] <TheDebugger> It's 10pm :D
[04:04] <wiseelben> when I install rubybook, where is it placed?
[04:04] <Maheanuu> anyone here using mdadm to setup and manage raid arrays?
[04:04] <Arafangion> (I attempted to boot the LTS version, but it kept complaining about ATA1 issues)
[04:04] <wiseelben> nvm.. got it, it's /usr/share/docs
[04:05] <Maheanuu> I want to use it on Sata II drives in a raid5 array
[04:05] <pianoboy3333> bruenig: any other ideas?
[04:05] <Maheanuu> Ubuntu uses rpm's doesn't it???
[04:05] <band-aid> I am about to pitch my laptop through the window
[04:05] <bruenig> pianoboy3333, have the day threaten his son and tell him that if he screws anything thing up, he will beat the crap out of him, and then give him the sudo password
[04:05] <bruenig> dad*
[04:06] <kd7swh> this week seems to be a departure from last week, everything I have compiled has just worked lately without a hitch. is there something wrong with my system? LOL
[04:06] <LameBMX> whats a good app to watch for registry changes in windows? ... i gotta install quickbooks in windows for my company ... but im generally sticking with ubuntu ... so i thought i could run it in wine ... too late in the year to try and learn new software
[04:06] <pianoboy3333> bruenig: great....
[04:06] <pianoboy3333> Maheanuu: NO
[04:06] <LameBMX> band-aid, remember to throw it like a frisbee for maximum distance
[04:07] <Arafangion> LameBMX: I would suggest you go for VMware.
[04:07] <pianoboy3333> Maheanuu: ubuntu is based on debian, which uses the debian package system (dpkg -> .deb files)
[04:07] <band-aid> lol its less than a week old
[04:07] <band-aid> wireless is making me want to rip my own legs off
[04:07] <pianoboy3333> band-aid: lol
[04:07] <LameBMX> Arafangion, you think quickbooks would require that much of windows?
[04:08] <LameBMX> i figured id just need to export the reg keys it has and then add them to the registry in wine
[04:08] <kd7swh> LamBMX does it run under wine?
[04:08] <Arafangion> LameBMX: If you have any sort of volume license or something, you might as well just run the dang thing - and VMware is actually not that slow.
[04:08] <kd7swh> lol
[04:08] <pianoboy3333> band-aid: you try asking in #ndiswrapper, or the ndiswrapper mailing list?
[04:08] <Maheanuu> I'm not finding any downloadable  .deb files, is there a translator available to use to possibly change a tarball or a rpm and install it??
[04:08] <band-aid> theres a #ndiswrapper...
[04:08] <pianoboy3333> :)
[04:08] <justin_> How can I see what kernel is installed on my machine (CPU wise) --- because everytime I try to install Ardour it says that my system is not supported (i386) --- even though I am on a PIV.. so I want to make sure the I686 kernel was installed and not the i386 version of it..
[04:08] <Derek> has anyone here ever done an alternative install?
[04:08] <SpitzFire> i could use some help with linux
[04:08] <LameBMX> kd7swh, i dont know .. thats what i was gonna try ... i know it wont install it in wine .. but that dont mean i cant copy the windows install over
[04:08] <dm> Chmod 777 to enable basic user to access and change files correct?
[04:09] <SpitzFire> i,m new
[04:09] <nolimitsoya> !helpme | SpitzFire
[04:09] <ubotu> SpitzFire: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:09] <LameBMX> Derek, i kinda tried with my fake raid .. but it didnt go to well
[04:09] <pianoboy3333> Derek: me, I prefer it
[04:09] <SpitzFire> no shizzal
[04:09] <justin_> dm that's full access ;D
[04:09] <Derek> pianoboy, how hard is it?  I've never really used linux before
[04:09] <justin_> read write and execute access be careful what you change to 777 ;)
[04:09] <SpitzFire> free is me
[04:09] <LameBMX> dm 777 gives all execute axx .. 666 would be rx
[04:09] <SpitzFire> >)
[04:09] <LameBMX> rw ...
[04:09] <Arafangion> So, RE my 64-bit issue, any suggestions?
[04:09] <LameBMX> man chmod for better
[04:09] <kyncani> justin_: uname -a  and /proc/cpuinfo
[04:10] <kd7swh> LameBMX I have used a program called recode to transfer windows registry enteries into wine that may help you get going
[04:10] <justin_> kyncani, That does not help, I know what sort of CPU I have...
[04:10] <SpitzFire> .....>)
[04:10] <justin_> I want to know what Kernel was installed.
[04:10] <SpitzFire> .....>)
[04:10] <kyncani> justin_: as i said, uname -a
[04:10] <HymnToLife> justin_,  uname -r
[04:10] <kd7swh> lol
[04:10] <dm> lamebx thanks
[04:10] <justin_> kyncani, :) ahh
[04:10] <justin_> thanks
[04:10] <band-aid> I think everyone in #ndiswrapper is idle or dead
[04:11] <justin_> I686...
[04:11] <dm> lamebmx  i just opened a root naut and did it that way hehe
[04:11] <LameBMX> kd7swh, i think i remember how to inport them .. i just need to install it in windows and register it so i can find out what keys it does add ...
[04:11] <nolimitsoya> !generic | justin_
[04:11] <ubotu> justin_: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[04:11] <justin_> So then why does Ardour keep telling me that it cannot install on my system because of it being "i386"
[04:11] <justin_> bah
[04:11] <pianoboy3333> band-aid: try the forum or mailing list (prefmailing list is garunteed to be like 70
[04:11] <pianoboy3333> % faster response
[04:11] <SpitzFire> complile
[04:11] <nolimitsoya> justin_, perhaps its a ppc compile, or something...
[04:12] <justin_> nolimitsoya, perhaps...

[04:30] <HentaiSushi> can anyone help me get rid of linux?
[04:31] <bruenig> Derek, it is not hard at all, I used it the first time I ever installed linux which was the first time I had ever installed an OS (windows had always come preinstalled)
[04:31] <HentaiSushi> er
[04:31] <HentaiSushi> because its my friends pc
[04:31] <HentaiSushi> and he wants it gone
[04:31] <Angelus> !cdburning
[04:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cdburning - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:31] <bruenig> Derek, basically instead of clicking and pointing, you use the arrows to highlight and then enter
[04:31] <jrobinson> you could do the old "rm -rf *" (don't actually do this)
[04:31] <Fire> nah
[04:31] <Derek> oh, wow, that's pretty easy, heh
[04:31] <kd7swh> driverva90, I can't cook either
[04:31] <wiseelben> HentaiSushi: well, you would need your WinXP CD
[04:31] <Derek> I thought you would have to configure a bunch of stuff in the command line
[04:31] <Fire> alot of people are doing good sorts of things
[04:31] <HentaiSushi> no
[04:31] <HentaiSushi> dual boot
[04:31] <Fire> what they are
[04:31] <Some_Person> Is there a GarageBand-like app for Ubuntu?
[04:31] <HentaiSushi> i want to only get rid of linux
[04:32] <Derek> how will that solve my black screen problem though?  Will ubuntu boot and be able to see it
[04:32] <band-aid> wow Intel's so called drivers for the 3945ABG completely suck
[04:32] <band-aid> back to ndiswrapper
[04:32] <bruenig> what is garageband
[04:32] <HentaiSushi> what if i reformat my partition that has linux on it?
[04:32] <HentaiSushi> will that get rid of it?
[04:32] <jrobinson> yep
[04:32] <band-aid> do this
[04:32] <wiseelben> HentaiSushi: i wouldn't do that. It would get rid of it, but then you can't boot into windows.
[04:32] <HentaiSushi> but what about the boot menu
[04:32] <band-aid> get partition magic
[04:32] <Fire> i would have to foward ports to send you a os
[04:32] <HentaiSushi> thats what keeps happening
[04:32] <HentaiSushi> the GRUB messse sup
[04:32] <isenmike> hello
[04:32] <band-aid> put in your XP CD and in the recovery console do FIXMBR
[04:33] <bruenig> HentaiSushi, just reinstall windows
[04:33] <kyncani> HentaiSushi: fdisk /mbr in windows will take care of that
[04:33] <band-aid> and it will fix your MBR
[04:33] <HentaiSushi> i dont have that CD
[04:33] <jrobinson> You could install GAG (graphical boot manager)
[04:33] <Some_Person> GarageBand is an iLife app for Mac OS X that lets you mix music loops and your own voiceovers to make music
[04:33] <bruenig> HentaiSushi, bittorrent it
[04:33] <Fire> so we can,t cuss here

[04:34] <Angelus> thanks :)
[04:34] <bruenig> !automatix | wiseelben
[04:34] <ubotu> wiseelben: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe

[04:34] <dibblego> why do I not see my DLink DWL-G510 WLAN NIC under lspci - not even as an Unknown Device?

[04:35] <Some_Person> Thank you
[04:35] <isenmike> any of you folks have a dual-monitor setup?
[04:36] <dibblego> yes
[04:36] <wiseelben> bruenig: I don't use autogayix. Maybe you should stop pinging me before I am forced to attack you via your unprotected SSH again
[04:36] <Fire> i am
[04:36] <HentaiSushi> i have dual moniter
[04:36] <Angelus> how do you make a program the default when opening the extension?

[04:36] <Fire> sorry
[04:36] <LameBMX> okay this should all be workin fine .. guess in 1.7 the elimintaed the extra steps ...
[04:37] <dibblego> isenmike, you need xinerama to do what you want
[04:37] <LameBMX> but i still do not get a wifi adapter in my network thing
[04:37] <isenmike> i'll look into that, thank you
[04:37] <Fire> i would have been a three headed dragon
[04:38] <Fire> anyone know how to make a bloody marry drink wit a beer
[04:38] <fiendskull9> hey
[04:38] <fiendskull9> is there any straight forward guides to setting up a small home email server?
[04:38] <fiendskull9> all i can find is ones for like, enterprise buissnesses
[04:39] <imbecile> bruenig, I am trying to make an installer for source, any hints?
[04:39] <isenmike> i did a search in synaptic for "xinerama" and I see a bunch of extension libraries but not the program itself
[04:39] <fiendskull9> imbecile, you mean an auto source installerA?
[04:39] <bruenig> imbecile, I have no idea what you just asked me, source?

[04:39] <fowgre> isenmike: I just finally got a KVM switch so that I could use a single monitor/mouse/keyboard and I'm loving it... now I've got some room to rest my elbows ;)
[04:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gamepad - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[04:39] <fiendskull9> isenmike, xinerama isnt a program, its a background service
[04:40] <imbecile> i have a tar.gz file i'm trying to install
[04:40] <slop> anyone know how to install a usb gamepad?
[04:40] <fiendskull9> slop, if its logitech, should be plug and play
[04:40] <liquiddoom> imbecile: Open it with Archive Manager
[04:40] <imbecile> ok
[04:40] <fiendskull9> imbecile, tar xvf <tarball>
[04:40] <isenmike> fiendskull9, I'm pretty new to linux (installed ubuntu yesterday)... how do I install it?
[04:40] <fiendskull9> imbecile, cd to the directory, ./configure, make, make install
[04:40] <Angelus> guys? how do you make an application the default? For example, I would like to use MPlayer to play my mp3s
[04:40] <imbecile> tar xvzf pkg.tar.gz?
[04:40] <pianoboy3333> What happened to like dtg or whatever his name was.....
[04:40] <slop> fiendskull9: its not....its some off brand....i had it working once, but i used automatix, and the option in automatix to install usb gamepad stuff is no longer in automatix
[04:41] <liquiddoom> imbecile: It might need to be compiled though. There should be a "readme" file in the package
[04:41] <fiendskull9> slop, hmmm
[04:41] <imbecile> liquiddoom
[04:41] <imbecile> oops
[04:41] <fiendskull9> he needs buildessential too
[04:41] <fiendskull9> imbecile, sudo apt-get install buildessential

[04:41] <bruenig> imbecile, what are you trying to install?
[04:41] <tb77> Angelus: right click on an mp3 there should be an option there

[04:42] <bruenig> Angelus, right click on a file, go to properties, and change the open with, it will apply to all files with that format

[04:56] <Derek> I need advice... I had this problem where I couldn't see anything after booting the live cd, and people told me to do an alternate cd install
[04:56] <Derek> but do I just have to do the alternate cd install, or do I have to download drivers for my video card?
[04:56] <Fire> sorry my bad
[04:57] <Fire> whats the topic
[04:57] <bruenig> ahmet_, are you on kubuntu or ubuntu?
[04:58] <Fire> yeaah i am
[04:58] <Derek> can anyone advise?
[04:58] <Fire> advive on what
[04:58] <Derek> this is the problem
[04:58] <Derek> I boot with the live cd, and after the ubuntu load screen, my monitor goes black
[04:58] <Fire> wlcome to tthe new world
[04:59] <khermans> Derek, X is not properly configured most likely
[04:59] <Derek> before, people told me that I needed to use the alternative cd, but I'm wondering if I also need to do anything fancy with drivers, etc
[04:59] <Derek> how do I go about fixing that then, khermans?
[04:59] <Fire> i booted on vmware
[04:59] <khermans> Derek, use the safe VGA option
[04:59] <khermans> when you start the CD
[04:59] <Derek> I tried that, still black
[04:59] <khermans> Derek, is this a 'normal' monitor?
[04:59] <Derek> no, widescreen
[05:00] <Derek> 1680x1050 res
[05:00] <Derek> my grpahics card is a radeon x1900
[05:00] <Fire> must be some hard core tech suport here
[05:00] <khermans> hrmm, dunno -- has it ever worked?
[05:01] <element43> could someone suggest to me a 100% (or as close as possible) ubuntu compatible sound card? My onboard sound is utter crap.
[05:01] <Fire> i,m just one in million
[05:01] <carlfk_lap> element43: how much $ you want to spend?
[05:01] <nolimitsoya> element43, via envy is a nice circut
[05:01] <Derek> not on this computer, no
[05:01] <element43> CarlFK, doesn't really matter.. lets say under 200 to be fair
[05:01] <Derek> but this is my first attempt
[05:01] <khermans> element43, soundblaster live
[05:02] <kd7swh> where can I get faad2 and faad2-dev?
[05:02] <minerale> I would like to be able to 'print' something into a pdf file, is this possible?
[05:02] <Ediehow> anyone figured out how to use the dell mediadirect button?
[05:02] <JAyRULE> TooR4u, khermans, bruenig - thanks guys.  i'm using Ubuntu 6.10- the Edgy with all updates. khermans i copied the command and it installed a bunch of stuff, but toward the end, i got a few lines of errors
[05:02] <nolimitsoya> element43, i believe the 'terratec fly' cards are envy chips...
[05:02] <element43> so the envy chipset works well?
[05:02] <carlfk_lap> minerale: OO writer has an "export to pdf"
[05:02] <carlfk_lap> element43: I have an envy - I like it
[05:02] <unikon> anyone else have issues lookin at myspace pages
[05:02] <nolimitsoya> element43, it noes, and its non resampling too :)
[05:02] <minerale> carlfk_lap: what package do I need to install?
[05:02] <minerale> carlfk_lap: it's a firefox page from a secure site
[05:02] <carlfk_lap> minerale: it is part of the basic install
[05:02] <khermans> JAyRULE, what were the errors?
[05:02] <band-aid> !wifi
[05:02] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:03] <nolimitsoya> element43, but with your budget, perhaps you want to take a look at maudio instead? same envy chip, but much better output/input stages
[05:03] <Fire> iiIii,m down wit that
[05:03] <Derek> does anyone think I'll be able to see stuff if I do the advanced install, after the install is complete, if I can't see anything with the live cd?
[05:03] <minerale> carlfk_lap: i'm talking about a pseudo printer device
[05:03] <carlfk_lap> 00:09.0 Multimedia audio controller: Ensoniq ES1370 [AudioPCI]  - hooked to my sterio.  sounds good.
[05:03] <khermans> Derek, probably not
[05:03] <JAyRULE> khermans i just msg'd the errors
[05:04] <element43> ok cool! Thanks everyone. Im gonna run over to newegg and see what I can find
[05:04] <khermans> JAyRULE, priv?  i did not see them
[05:04] <JAyRULE> oh okay
[05:04] <Derek> so how would I go about installing the video driver during the instal process?  I think that's what I need to do
[05:04] <epotter> Kind people.  I'm having difficulty installing edgy desktop on a machine w/ SATA drives.
[05:04] <JAyRULE> E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[05:04] <JAyRULE> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[05:04] <JAyRULE> E: Couldn't rebuild package cache
[05:04] <epotter> Edgy server seemd to work fine, but DT doesn't detect disk.
[05:04] <khermans> Derek, is this edgy?
[05:04] <Fire> no shizzal
[05:04] <Derek> yeah, 6.10, right?
[05:04] <Fire> you know why that is
[05:05] <JAyRULE> yeah
[05:05] <carlfk_lap> minerale: oh that.  not sure.  it can't be hard.  worst case, save to HD, lood in OO, export...leme see if that works
[05:05] <Derek> I heard something about "x" not being configured correctly
[05:05] <epotter> Dapper worked fine, and is running but I'd like to reload w/ edgy.  how can I force edgy to detect my sata?
[05:05] <JAyRULE> Ubuntu 6.10
[05:05] <Derek> what does that mean?
[05:05] <JAyRULE>                 - the Edgy Eft - released in October 2006
[05:05] <JAyRULE> all updates
[05:05] <nolimitsoya> Derek, the x server is what handles you graphics and inout devices
[05:05] <nolimitsoya> *input
[05:05] <Fire> 1 freedom
[05:05] <khermans> Derek, Xorg is the graphical display server
[05:05] <Derek> does anyone know what I could do to fix it?
[05:06] <khermans> Derek, it is probably due to your widescreen
[05:06] <nolimitsoya> Derek, install and configure the proper drivers
[05:06] <khermans> Derek, i bet the driver loads fine, but your modelines are wrong
[05:06] <Derek> how do I install and configure the drivers if I can't see anything, though?  THat's what I'm confused about
[05:06] <Derek> Khermans, can you think of what I might be able to do to fix it?
[05:06] <nolimitsoya> Derek, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:06] <band-aid> ok guys
[05:06] <plyp_werk> Derek: and you're just using the LiveCD, right?  not installed yet?
[05:06] <carlfk_lap> minerale: just saved from FF and opened in OO.  looks about right, but not perfect
[05:06] <Fire> what wrong with graphicaling displaying stufff
[05:06] <band-aid> how do I unblacklist a driver
[05:06] <plyp_werk> nolimitsoya: i don't think he installed
[05:07] <nolimitsoya> Derek, or sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:07] <khermans> Derek, heres an option -- dpkg-reconfigure xorg-server
[05:07] <nolimitsoya> plyp_werk, installed what?
[05:07] <plyp_werk> ubuntu
[05:07] <khermans> Derek, in the command line. and choose the VESA driver instead
[05:07] <Derek> correct plyp, live cd
[05:07] <nolimitsoya> plyp_werk, doesnt matter
[05:07] <andre> someone needed restricted formats

[05:08] <Derek> I'm very new to linux, so this stuff is a little over my head
[05:08] <nolimitsoya> JAyRULE, just close down synaptic/aptitude or any other package manager you might have running
[05:08] <Derek> should I do an install using the alternate cd, or should I try the live CD again?
[05:08] <Derek> with the live CD, hwo do I access a command line?
[05:08] <nolimitsoya> Derek, id say use the alternate
[05:09] <nolimitsoya> Derek, alt+f2
[05:09] <Derek> wel the problem is I can't see anything iwth the live cd
[05:09] <Derek> so I don't know how I'm going to be able to get a command line
[05:10] <Winter-1> hey
[05:10] <SurfnKid> Hey everyone, Wish you all a Happy and safe New Year 2007, Lets get more ppl on linux and open source
[05:10] <Derek> so I should 1) install using the alternate installer
[05:10] <Derek> then 2) do what?
[05:11] <nolimitsoya> Derek, 2) see if it works :)
[05:11] <Derek> heh, then once it doesn't work?
[05:11] <nolimitsoya> Derek, come back :)

[05:15] <band-aid> I have a quick question, how do I unblacklist a driver'
[05:15] <madman91> how can i remove thewordidontwant
[05:15] <biotrox> hello all
[05:15] <nvhanh> Hi
[05:15] <biotrox> happy new year 2007
[05:15] <nolimitsoya> madman91, backspace?
[05:15] <Fire> its free biotch
[05:15] <biotrox> have a bit problem
[05:15] <nvhanh> Thanks Happy new year
[05:15] <Fire> yeah happy new year
[05:15] <epotter> hey all, how do you get edgy desktop to detect a SATA controller on install?
[05:15] <ubuntu> happy new year!
[05:15] <biotrox> can't play midi files
[05:16] <nolimitsoya> !midi | bio
[05:16] <ubotu> bio: Trouble playing MIDI files? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo
[05:16] <biotrox> !midi
[05:16] <ubotu> Trouble playing MIDI files? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MidiSoftwareSynthesisHowTo
[05:16] <madman91> nolimitsoya: for 20 files? cmon now .
[05:16] <nvhanh> I have a problem with wireless connection
[05:16] <plyp_werk> epotter: hmm...maybe depends on the controller?  mine worked without problems
[05:16] <North64> how can I install an rpm in ubuntu?
[05:16] <madman91> for i in *; do mv -- $i ${i#word-to-remove}; done
[05:16] <nolimitsoya> madman91, word or files?
[05:16] <epotter> dapper worked fine, edgy doesn't.
[05:16] <madman91> North64: install alien .. then run sudo alien -d file.rpm
[05:16] <biotrox> north64 use alien
[05:16] <madman91> nolimitsoya: files
[05:16] <North64> thank you :)
[05:16] <epotter> it's on board
[05:16] <biotrox> !alien | north64
[05:16] <ubotu> north64: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[05:16] <nolimitsoya> madman91, use 'rm <file>' to remove a file
[05:16] <epotter> I have dapper up now and can rund a dmesg.
[05:17] <Fire> shizzal
[05:17] <epotter>  ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 cmd 0x9F0 ctl 0xBF2 bmdma 0xF600 irq 217
[05:17] <madman91> nolimitsoya: sorry.. lemme re-explain ... i have file 1-word 2-word 3-word .... i want to remove all the -word from every file name
[05:17] <plyp_werk> madman91: rm *-word
[05:18] <epotter> so what do I need to do w/ edgy to get it to use the same.
[05:18] <nolimitsoya> madman91, using what filemanager? thunar has a nice bulk rename tool. :) im sure nautilus does too
[05:18] <plyp_werk> madman91: might want to do "ls *-word" first to see if it's the correct files before you remove them
[05:18] <plyp_werk> madman91: ohhh
[05:18] <plyp_werk> madman91: wait
[05:18] <madman91> plyp_werk: yea
[05:18] <plyp_werk> madman91: i thought you meant remove the file
[05:18] <plyp_werk> heh
[05:18] <plyp_werk> k, don't do what i said
[05:18] <madman91> plyp_werk: i found an old command ... for i in *; do mv -- $i ${i#word-to-remove}; done ... but its not working
[05:18] <Winter-1> why cant i see the userlist in xchat
[05:19] <nolimitsoya> Winter-1, we are anonimous ninjas -.-
[05:19] <North64> surprising that rpm is not nativly supported, seems like everyone and their child are offering drivers and such in rpm format
[05:19] <kyncani> madman91: replace # with %
[05:19] <nolimitsoya> *-i+y
[05:19] <mister_roboto> madman91: for n in *-word; mv $n `cut $n -d'-' -f1`; done
[05:19] <Winter-1> lies
[05:19] <madman91> mister_roboto: that will work?
[05:19] <madman91> kyncani: lemme try
[05:19] <mister_roboto> yes
[05:19] <nolimitsoya> North64, rpm is evil :F
[05:20] <nvhanh> Who can help me with wireless connection?
[05:20] <mister_roboto> madman91: try it on a copy
[05:20] <DarthNader> any suggestions for program to convert .mpg to sound-only mp3?
[05:20] <nvhanh> I cant connect with WL
[05:20] <Fire> power dir pro
[05:21] <DarthNader> hmm lemme check it out
[05:21] <khermans__> DarthLappy, ffmpeg ?
[05:21] <plyp_werk> nvhanh: type "iwconfig" and tell me if you see details about a wireless card
[05:21] <Fire> lets see what ports i still have open
[05:21] <nvhanh> ipw3945
[05:21] <TooR4u> how to know the class of the IP?i mean classA,classB..etc
[05:21] <madman91> mister_roboto: i know .. i copied :D dont worry
[05:21] <madman91> mister_roboto: bash: syntax error near unexpected token `mv'
[05:21] <DarthLappy> khermans__: What?
[05:22] <Winter-1> found out why ;)
[05:22] <plyp_werk> nvhanh: i use ipw3945 on my laptop :)
[05:22] <plyp_werk> nvhanh: do you see eth1 in "iwconfig"?
[05:22] <Atomix> so
[05:22] <Atomix> thanks
[05:22] <nvhanh> Now I use WINDOWS
[05:22] <khermans__> DarthLappy, ffmpeg is a program
[05:22] <mister_roboto> madman91: copy paste, you must have the types of quotes wrong
[05:22] <Fire> you guys ever get any pussy
[05:22] <Firebird> I installed Amarok on Ubuntu Edgy but it quits right after the splash screen (worked fine on Dapper), does anyone have any ideas to try? :)
[05:22] <Atomix> um, do i have to dl synaptics or is it already on the comp
[05:22] <Edgy-Paladine> I am having a big problem
[05:22] <DarthLappy> khermans__: Why are you telling me this?
[05:22] <nvhanh> Because i cant connect with LI
[05:22] <madman91> mister_roboto: i copy pasted your line

[05:23] <Winter-1> is there an ubuntu equivalent of photoshop
[05:23] <plyp_werk> nvhanh: the driver should work just fine on ubuntu 6.10
[05:23] <Atomix> gimp
[05:23] <n73n53> kitty
[05:23] <Winter-1> gimp doesnt do the job well
[05:24] <Atomix> although there are a few differences
[05:24] <kyncani> madman91: like someone said,  for f in *; do mv -- "$f" "${f%WORD}"; done
[05:24] <Atomix> they are in essence, the same
[05:24] <nvhanh> My lap top is Compaq V3018
[05:24] <Winter-1> i tried instaling PS using wine but it crashes too much
[05:24] <Atomix> i gave used photochop and gimp, i like gimp better
[05:24] <nolimitsoya> Winter-1, gimp is plugin compatible, so just export the plugins you need
[05:24] <Atomix> *i used photoshop
[05:24] <nvhanh> I just install Ubuntu (Christian)
[05:25] <Firebird> Did you know there's an Ubuntu Satanic Edition? :)
[05:25] <Winter-1> ive been using photoshop for 6 years
[05:25] <Atomix> anyone
[05:25] <Atomix> where can i GET synaptic
[05:25] <Fire> i hear a little eithnic in the air
[05:25] <nolimitsoya> Atomix, its already installed
[05:25] <Atomix> where
[05:25] <kyncani> Firebird: yeah, it installs windows too ;)
[05:25] <Fire> i,m whity
[05:26] <nolimitsoya> Atomix, system->administration... something :)
[05:26] <Firebird> lol kyncani :)
[05:26] <nvhanh> Driver for Wireless is OK but I cant connect
[05:26] <Fire> i,m down wit black brotheres
[05:26] <Firebird> Atomix, if you have trouble finding it try Alt+F2 and type synaptic. Then click OK
[05:26] <nolimitsoya> Atomix, almost everything you might need is already installed :)
[05:26] <Firebird> err Execute I mean
[05:26] <Atomix> oh
[05:26] <Atomix> I'm a moron
[05:26] <Atomix> ^^
[05:26] <Firebird> :)
[05:26] <Fire> i never banged a black chick yet
[05:26] <madman91> kyncani: not working
[05:26] <madman91> kyncani: mv  says that they are the same file
[05:26] <madman91> kyncani: mv  says that they are the same file
[05:27] <Winter-1> fire you dont wanna get aids
[05:27] <kyncani> madman91: means those files do not finish with WORD
[05:27] <madman91> oh yea... sorry .. its 1-word-1 2-word-2
[05:27] <Fire> sort of did a asion
[05:27] <dibblego> what driver do I use for a RT61 chipset WLAN card?
[05:28] <nolimitsoya> !wifi | dibblego
[05:28] <ubotu> dibblego: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:28] <kyncani> madman91: like someone said,  for f in *; do mv -- "$f" "${f/-WORD-/}"; done
[05:28] <kyncani> madman91: i think
[05:28] <Winter-1> i need to find something like photoshop for linux that isnt gimp
[05:28] <Fire> does somethinthing something count
[05:28] <plyp_werk> Winter-1: why not gimp?
[05:28] <HentaiSushi> someone here said there was a windows boot loader?
[05:28] <Atomix> ok, synaptics confuses me
[05:29] <Winter-1> too confusing for me
[05:29] <Atomix> even with the howto
[05:29] <Winter-1> been using photoshop for 6 years
[05:29] <Firebird> anyone for the amarok not starting problem? It was suggested on a forum to downgrade libqt3-mt, but I'd rather not mess around...
[05:29] <hyphenated> Winter-1: what features do you actually use?
[05:29] <nolimitsoya> Atomix, try apt then
[05:29] <madman91> kyncani: same file
[05:29] <nolimitsoya> Atomix, 'sudo apt-get install <whateveryouwant>' in a terminal
[05:29] <Winter-1> umm
[05:29] <dibblego> nolimitsoya, that page says absolutely nothing about RT61
[05:29] <murchadh`> !gimpshop
[05:29] <ubotu> gimpshop is a hack that makes The Gimp look and feel more like Photoshop.  A .deb for Ubuntu is available via http://plasticbugs.com/?page_id=294
[05:29] <plyp_werk> Winter-1: heh...it's almost the same.  a couple of interface differences, but it's the same idea
[05:29] <Winter-1> yea
[05:30] <Winter-1> except for the layer styles part
[05:30] <HentaiSushi> is there any way to get rid of the GRUB
[05:30] <HentaiSushi> ?
[05:30] <dibblego> HentaiSushi, install windows?
[05:30] <nolimitsoya> HentaiSushi, yes, you can exchange it for lilo, fex
[05:30] <HentaiSushi> its already installed
[05:30] <HentaiSushi> i dont have the cd
[05:30] <nolimitsoya> HentaiSushi, but why?
[05:30] <HentaiSushi> i want to get rid of linux
[05:30] <kyncani> madman91: means some files do not have -WORD- in their filename
[05:30] <nolimitsoya> HentaiSushi, you need to install the windows boot loader, and for that, youll need the cd.
[05:30] <Fire> aouh
[05:30] <nolimitsoya> HentaiSushi, just download one if youve got a legal key :)
[05:31] <HentaiSushi> theres no like random boot loader software?
[05:31] <Firebird> there's a linux program for that too I believe, it can restore the windows boot loader
[05:31] <khermans__> HentaiSushi, sure!
[05:31] <HentaiSushi> where do i find my key at :S
[05:31] <dibblego> what driver do I use for a RT61 chipset WLAN card?

[05:36] <HentaiSushi> wait
[05:36] <HentaiSushi> kyncani: if i do that, what about the windows boot loader?
[05:37] <Firebird> HentaiSushi, I found the program, it's called ms-sys. Unfortunately, it only does the same as fdisk /mbr
[05:37] <Fire> sound sound slike
[05:37] <HentaiSushi> ok so how do i ultimately solve this
[05:37] <fowgre> <--- thinks that Fire is a bot
[05:37] <HentaiSushi> will "lock C:" and then "fdisk /mbr" do it?
[05:38] <Fire> click of a forty 5

[05:38] <nolimitsoya> element43, what is?
[05:38] <mem_> ok i have installed 3 different medial players and none will play my mp3 files
[05:39] <element43> HentaiSushi, i don't know if your name is creative, slightly off-beat, or potentially offensive.
[05:39] <Winter-1> nevermind
[05:39] <Firebird> lol
[05:39] <kdub> anyone here know anything about xgl?
[05:39] <HentaiSushi> element43, its a pun
[05:39] <element43> ?
[05:39] <HentaiSushi> you have to know japanese however to understand it :/
[05:39] <element43> ahh
[05:39] <nolimitsoya> HentaiSushi, no you dont :P
[05:39] <Winter-1> anyone wanna walk me through how to compile this into a .deb

[05:40] <element43> nolimitsoya, explain to me in a pm plzzzzz
[05:40] <HentaiSushi> everyone
[05:40] <element43> sorry my z key got stuck.
[05:40] <lnknpk04> quick question.  I have my wireless and my WPA encryption working, but everytime i restart the computer, ubuntu automatically tries to connect to my apartment complex's wifi which is unencrypted and open instead of my personal one which has WPA encryption and does not broadcast its ssid
[05:41] <HentaiSushi> it says that the "fdisk /mbr" command will write a new mbr, isnt that what loads the boot loader or whatever?
[05:41] <HentaiSushi> wont that fix it altogether?
[05:41] <HentaiSushi> then i can just delete the partitions?
[05:41] <lnknpk04> any ideas on how to get it to automatically connect to mine instead of the other?
[05:41] <mem_> ok this is more helpful than mime chat LOL later wankers
[05:41] <Firebird> won't you be without OS then HentaiSushi ? you said you have no windows cd
[05:41] <HentaiSushi> i have windows installed
[05:41] <HentaiSushi> dual boot
[05:41] <Firebird> ah, right
[05:41] <HentaiSushi> im in windows now
[05:42] <HentaiSushi> so will "fdisk /mbr" fix my problem?
[05:42] <kd7swh> does anyone here use newspost?
[05:42] <kyncani> HentaiSushi: i think so, but i would follow the opensuse url i gave you. And you can handle partitions with a knoppix live cd and qtparted
[05:43] <HentaiSushi> i can handle partitions no prob
[05:43] <lnknpk04> any ideas?
[05:43] <HentaiSushi> i just want to make sure it wont mess me up alltogether
[05:43] <wastrel> HentaiSushi:  have you asked in a windows channel?
[05:43] <HentaiSushi> er
[05:43] <HentaiSushi> theres a windows channel

[05:44] <SilentDis> 'lo :)
[05:44] <plyp_werk> it seems like they only work in magical circumstances
[05:44] <plyp_werk> and i can't duplicate that magic

[05:44] <john__> hello newbie question i have xubuntu 6.06 i got pppconfig working fine however gnome-ppp isn't working
[05:44] <HentaiSushi> two number signs worked though

[05:45] <bcstv> My trash is not working correctly. It takes a long amount of time to move an item off the desktop into the trash bin
[05:45] <john__> ok i will download kppp
[05:45] <john__> kppp is like 22mb a lot longer to download :(

I have my wireless and my WPA encryption working, but everytime i restart the computer, ubuntu automatically tries to connect to my apartment complex's wifi which is unencrypted and open instead of my personal one which has WPA encryption and does not broadcast its ssid
[05:46] <lnknpk04> any ideas on how to get it to automatically connect to mine instead of the other?
[05:46] <kd7swh> sorry you have dialup john_
[05:46] <john__> yeah
[05:46] <Jordan_U> lnknpk04: Are you using network-admin or network manager?
[05:47] <SilentDis> john__, you and me in the same boat on that one :(
[05:47] <lnknpk04> i believe network-admin .  The one that is shaped like the signal bars on a cell phone
[05:47] <bcstv> any ideas why trash hangs?
[05:47] <kd7swh> I am so glad to be rid of dialup
[05:47] <jimmygoon> bcstv: Do you mean that when you delete items it hangs for like 30sec -1 min ? becuase I'm having the same issu
[05:48] <SilentDis> bcstv, are you connected to a slow-loading remote file system perchance?  (like an ftp server or some such that's mounted)
[05:48] <HentaiSushi> wait i have an idea
[05:48] <kd7swh> on the other hand there is nothing like 300 baud packet radio
[05:48] <lnknpk04> Jordan_U:i believe network-admin .  The one that is shaped like the signal bars on a cell phone
[05:48] <bcstv> jimmygoon:exactly!
[05:48] <lnknpk04> sorry, forgot to put your nick
[05:48] <bcstv> silentdis: I have a ftp server mounted local
[05:49] <kd7swh> does anyone here use newspost?
[05:49] <Jordan_U> lnknpk04: Sorry, I only know how to help you by changing /etc/networking/interfaces which that does not use :(
[05:49] <jimmygoon> I don't. Its flat out my FS on my HD :( It stinks to have to wait everytime I clean my desktop
[05:49] <TooR4u> how to change desktop background manually
[05:49] <SilentDis> bcstv, it might be trying to check a .Trash-username there.  do you have the same problem when you unmount it?
[05:49] <TooR4u> Change desktop option is not working
[05:49] <TooR4u> Any ideas?
[05:49] <bcstv> I will unmount and see
[05:50] <lnknpk04> Jordan_U: I take back my previous statement.  I'm suing netowrk manager
[05:50] <Jordan_U> TooR4u: Not working in what way.
[05:50] <TooR4u> when ever i tried to change the desktop background it just loading.....
[05:50] <SilentDis> bcstv, outside of that, i'm not sure what else could be causing it, unfortunatly
[05:50] <jimmygoon> SilentDis: for the problem to occur would I have to be deleting files off of the mounted FS?
[05:50] <lnknpk04> Jordan_U: i did a google image search and figured out which was which
[05:50] <TooR4u> Jordan_U, when ever i tried to change the desktop background it just loading....
[05:50] <bcstv> I als have Apache
[05:51] <Jordan_U> lnknpk04: I could tell by your description of it, manager is the one that does not work :(
[05:51] <lnknpk04> ah, gotcha
[05:51] <SilentDis> jimmygoon, that would be my assumption... but i'm just not sure how nautilus handles the whole .Trash system very well.  I mean, i know how it's supposed to work, but not exactly what checks/balances it goes though each time.
[05:51] <lnknpk04> i guess I shouldn't complain...at least its working!
[05:51] <lnknpk04> its just an annoyance
[05:52] <TooR4u> how to change the desktop background manually(Through cmd prompt?)
[05:52] <ellempira> hey guys one question, can i make GRUB to load a module so i can use a wireless keyboard to make a selection on my boot menu?
[05:52] <hope13> libflash-mozplugin doesn't work for me, what flash plugin should i download?
[05:52] <kdub> anyone gotten beryl to run on dual monitors here?
[05:52] <hope13> no
[05:52] <Jordan_U> ellempira: Doubtfull.
[05:52] <SilentDis> ellempira, i assume the wireless keyboard connects back up to a little dongle that's connected via USB?
[05:52] <Winter-1> in MacOSX you can have the background be like a slideshow so the wallpaper is constantly changing. can this be done in ubuntu?
[05:52] <El_brujo> were can i find the SDL-1.2.10 source?
[05:53] <ellempira> that's right SilentDis
[05:53] <hope13> yes winter it can be done
[05:53] <Winter-1> how?
[05:53] <hope13> >,>
[05:53] <SilentDis> ellempira, in your bios, enable usb keyboard in bios.
[05:53] <plyp_werk> ellempira: then it should work like any other USB keyboard
[05:53] <hope13> fine one seck let me read the ubuntu book
[05:53] <HentaiSushi> in one second :x
[05:53] <raf256> do you find it annoying that most hardware shops do not know realibly if the things they sell will work in linux?
[05:53] <hope13> in 2 min
[05:53] <hope13> lol
[05:53] <Jordan_U> Winter-1: Though scripting I am sure, I don't know of an automatic way of doing it.
[05:53] <SilentDis> ellempira, for specifics on how to do that, you'd have to check out your bios mfg info page... or at least give us a bit of info on your kit so I can look it up for you :)
[05:54] <plyp_werk> raf256: ya, i've been annoyed at that for about 12 years...but it's gotten better over that time ;)
[05:54] <ellempira> yes is supposed to work but i doesnt.....i already checked that on my bios...
[05:54] <SilentDis> raf256, ohhhh yes.  i've yet to find a hw shop that has a CLUE about *nix in general :(
[05:54] <raf256> plyp_werk: because I am preparing a poll about this problem
[05:54] <Winter-1> another question i have is in gnome is there any way to get the panel sizes smaller than 23 px
[05:54] <Derek> alright, so I encountered a problem with the install.  I couldn't use their bootloader because it wasn't recognizing my xp install, so now I can't figure out how to boot at all
[05:54] <raf256> the poll will be ready in few ours and will be placed on http://www.limcore.com/linux/
[05:54] <raf256> the results will be published :)

[05:56] <hope13> i dunno
[05:56] <hope13> lol
[05:56] <SilentDis> ellempira, i'm not finding any direct info or the like, unfortunatly.  google has failed me :(
[05:57] <Derek> I think tomorrow I'm just going to clean out my system, install linux, then xp
[05:57] <Derek> or maybe xp first, then linux
[05:57] <SilentDis> Derek, i'd recommend that order vice versa ;)
[05:57] <Derek> the problem is I'm wrestling with vista boot loader which is really terrible
[05:57] <hope13> winter:The source code for this application is at http://planetearthworm.com/projects/wp_tray/files/wp_tray-0.4.6.tar.gz, but Bill has built it for Ubuntu and made it available at http://wildbill.nulldevice.net/ubuntu/wp-tray_0.4.6-1_i386.deb.

[05:58] <Derek> so I"m not sure how to go about doing that
[05:58] <hope13> can some1 tell me what to dl so flash will work on my Firefox?
[05:58] <band-aid> g'night
[05:58] <SilentDis> Derek, through experience, i've found it's best to install xp to the first partition, and leave the rest of the drive completely empty.  then do the rest in linux.

[06:00] <earthen> Hey guys I just hooked up an older computer i had with Ubuntu badger on it would it be ok to just update it right to Edgy or should I go to Dapper first?
[06:00] <gaten> can anyone help me with my vncserver? connection is refused but the server is running
[06:00] <SilentDis> ellempira, hmm... that could work, but most BIOS have a setting to enable the USB keyboard at a 'bios' level, so you can use it for everything.  mine did, at least... :P
[06:00] <HentaiSushi> hey, is my name actually offending anyone here?
[06:00] <Winter-1> meh only an i386
[06:00] <SilentDis> HentaiSushi, i believe the best place for such a discussion is #ubuntu-offtopic ;)  otherwise, we usually don't care hehe
[06:00] <waterpear> HentaiSushi, guess not
[06:01] <Firebird> yay, solved my amarok problem by removing amarokrc
[06:01] <IdleOne> earthen, why not backup /home then do a fresh install
[06:01] <ellempira> SilentDis, hm...i see... that option enable the USB usage? or does specify that its for mouses and keyboard?
[06:02] <bcstv> SilentDis I stopped the ftp server and the same problem exists. How do I find a .Trash on the ftp server
[06:02] <SilentDis> ellempira, iirc, the option in my bios read "USB Keyboard" and the options available were "BIOS" or "OS"
[06:02] <earthen> IdleOne, no reason other than i was hopeing if it would be quicker this way
[06:02] <IdleOne> earthen, prolly wont work and isnt recommended anyhow
[06:02] <SilentDis> bcstv, if you're browsing it from nautilus, view > show hidden files will show it.
[06:02] <kralcymerej> I am having problems with my panels not appearing when I boot up my system
[06:02] <SilentDis> bcstv, otherwise, from a prompt, it's ls -l
[06:02] <SilentDis> bcstv, er, ls -al
[06:02] <kralcymerej> it's almost every other time I load up
[06:03] <earthen> IdleOne, I know upgrading too edgy on my laptop was a real mess but on my desktop I wasn't sure
[06:03] <SilentDis> kralcymerej, are you running beryl/compiz?
[06:03] <kralcymerej> I don't think so (but forgive me I am really new to this whole Linux thing)
[06:04] <kralcymerej> what is beryl/compwiz? should I be running it?
[06:04] <ellempira> SilentDis, well i got an option that's call "Plug&Play" in which you can select between OS or BIOS...and i have the "USB Support" "Enabled" i'm very sad because i've just bought a keyboar/mouse combo that's really nice :b
[06:04] <SilentDis> kralcymerej, you'd know if you were ;)  crazy wiggly windows everywhere heh.
[06:04] <IdleOne> earthen, desktop or laptop chances are you will end up with a messed up system so best bet is to backup your files and do a fresh install
[06:05] <kralcymerej> any ideas as to why I might have totally intermittent  panels?
[06:05] <h0ndaracer2> hey waht is its under my network vmnet8 and vmnet1
[06:05] <SilentDis> ellempira, i'd (obviously) have to be there to actually 'see' what options were available in the bios to you.  i'd be happy to take this to pm/prv room if you were able to look at it at the same time as chatting with me, so we could figure out where that option is :)
[06:05] <earthen> IdleOne, yeah maybe your right, I'll maybe do both just for fun LOL
[06:05] <h0ndaracer2> my firewall says tpye unknown
[06:05] <IdleOne> earthen, hehe thats cool also if you want to lol

[06:06] <earthen> IdleOne, thanks for the heads up
[06:07] <ellempira> SilentDis, well give me 1 min and i turn on my notebook
[06:07] <IdleOne> earthen, np
[06:07] <HentaiSushi> alright
[06:07] <HentaiSushi> boot with floppy and type fdisk /mbr
[06:07] <HentaiSushi> tahts what i ultimately was told
[06:07] <SilentDis> ellempira, ok.  i'll be available for about 30-45 min before my head hits the keyboard, we'll see what we can do :)
[06:07] <HentaiSushi> but ikll do it later
[06:07] <El_brujo> were can i find the SDL-1.2.10 source?

[06:08] <Dicander> I'm running debian sid on an ASRock K8NF6G-VSTA motherboard. The graphics card and network card started working when i switched to sid and kernel 2.6.18 (from Ubuntu 6.10). Unfortunately I can't get sound from my integrated sound card. According to the documentation I should be using snd_hda_intel. The module is loaded but alsamixer says: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[06:08] <SilentDis> bcstv, that's a trash folder created by nautilus, yes...   with the ftp spot unmounted, i'm unsure what else could be causing a slow responding trash bin though.  sorry :(
[06:09] <bcstv> Thx for your help anyway! :)
[06:09] <SilentDis> bbiab all :)
[06:09] <Dicander> I never tested sound in Ubuntu but I assume it did not work well there either.
[06:12] <IdleOne> someone wanna help me figure out why I dont here any sound from websites using firefox?
[06:12] <Firebird> maybe something already uses the soundcard, you can fix that using aoss
[06:13] <IdleOne> Firebird, how do I use aoss?
[06:13] <server_> conect #ubuntu
[06:13] <server_> hey
[06:13] <Firebird> first, enter this in a terminal:  sudo apt-get install alsa-oss

[06:13] <jevangelo> i just configured wine with automatix2
[06:13] <server_> does anybody know how da crap do i install a rpm pakage ?
[06:14] <jevangelo> its awsome
[06:14] <Firebird> IdleOne, then you need to edit a file: gksudo gedit /etc/firefox/firefoxrc
[06:15] <Firebird> IdleOne, change "none" into "aoss" so that it reads FIREFOX_DSP=?aoss?
[06:15] <server_> how do i install a rpm package ??
[06:15] <Firebird> save and that should do it, restart firefox
[06:15] <decaf> server_: you can convert to deb with alien
[06:15] <Firebird> !rpm | server_
[06:15] <ubotu> server_: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[06:15] <wastrel> server_:  it's usually best not to use rpm.  are you sure the software you are trying to install isn't available from the ubuntu repository?
[06:16] <decaf> server_: but this is probably not a good idea
[06:16] <Alethes> I've done major damage to a slackware system using alien generated slackpacks from rpms
[06:16] <server_> ohhh i c thanx
[06:16] <Alethes> the biggest issue is permissions
[06:17] <server_> so how da crap do i install a tgz packages instead of a rpm ?
[06:18] <server_> actually im kinda new onto this thing of linux but id prefer linux over win
[06:18] <IdleOne> server_, what are you looking to install?
[06:18] <n2diy> server_: use nautilus
[06:18] <Firebird> any luck with firefox IdleOne? :)
[06:18] <server_> im traying 2 isntal some updates for vmware
[06:19] <server_> actually thats an othe issue  i cant fine a windows xp .vmx
[06:19] <decaf> server_: vmware works
[06:19] <decaf> server_: what do you need ?
[06:20] <server_> i need 2 run some design suites from win and also i need internet explorer 2 chek some stuff on certains sites
[06:20] <decaf> server_: get and install vmware server
[06:20] <lnknpk04> i'm trying to access my shared windows folders but am having some trouble.  anyone have a link to a guide?
[06:21] <decaf> server_: install a 'linux-headers' package and use vmware server's tar.gz dist
[06:21] <server_> haha sounds easy but where do i gat linux headers ?
[06:21] <server_> get**
[06:22] <decaf> it seems java-package doesn't support java 6, is there another way to instal jdk6 ?
[06:22] <Arafangion> server_: apt-get install linux-headrs , perhaps?
[06:23] <decaf> server_: apt-get install 'headers for your kernel'
[06:23] <decaf> server_: uname -a
[06:24] <Arafangion> decaf: Headers for *the* kernel, you mean? Not neccessary those with the kernel you are currently running.
[06:25] <Arafangion> decaf: The reason they are separated now is because the correct one depends on the one that *glibc* was compiled with.
[06:25] <Gorillasmalls> i need help configuring my pcmcia car

[06:26] <Gorillasmalls> cmon now
[06:26] <Gorillasmalls> lol
[06:27] <decaf> server_: vmware server doesn't need
[06:27] <IdleOne> Firebird, right now sound is least of my issues firefox is bogging down my machine so bad I had to restart X
[06:27] <konam> decaf reconstructor, the app that let you make an ubuntu livecd derivative (with your own customization), doesn't install in dapper
[06:27] <Firebird> ouch
[06:27] <LameBMX> k why dont my wifi nic show up ... ndiswrapper is loaded in lsmod ... dont know of anything to do after that :/
[06:27] <konam> by some dependencies....
[06:27] <server_> well if i dont need them how can i start emulating windows ?
[06:27] <decaf> konam: I need one too
[06:27] <LameBMX> !wireless
[06:27] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[06:28] <n2diy> Gorillasmalls: ok, your card is plugged in?
[06:28] <decaf> server_: just read some docs at vmware.com, ok?
[06:28] <konam> decaf you can't install it too?
[06:28] <cafuego_> server_: You boot a windows install cd and install.
[06:28] <IdleOne> Firebird, any reason why firefox would start doing this...started earlier this morning
[06:29] <iLLf8d> IdleOne one of your extensions probably updated and is a pos
[06:29] <Firebird> sorry IdleOne, no idea... I'm pretty much a linux newbie :)
[06:31] <burepe> Ktorrent just started crashing on me. Can anyone tell me how I can fix it? This is the out put when I start it in the command line http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39490/ and this is what the crash handler says http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/39491/ Thanks
[06:32] <Dark_Nexus> anyone awake?
[06:32] <IdleOne> iLLf8d, seems you may have been right about the extensions. uninstalled them and firefox *crossed fingers* seems ok but I still dont have any sound
[06:32] <Arafangion> Dark_Nexus: Gee, some people ask silly questions, don't they?
[06:33] <Firebird> no Dark_Nexus, we're typing this while we sleep :) it's a lot of fun, you should give it a try
[06:33] <lnknpk04> !windows
[06:33] <ubotu> For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[06:33] <Dark_Nexus> quite the skill
[06:33] <Dark_Nexus> i should start practicing
[06:33] <lnknpk04> !shared folder
[06:33] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about shared folder - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:33] <Dark_Nexus> had a question about xinerama
[06:33] <zero> hey
[06:33] <Dark_Nexus> if anyone would be willing to help me, i would really appreciate it
[06:33] <lnknpk04> can someone tell me how to access my windows shared folders from ubuntu?
[06:33] <imbecile> how do i install perl?
[06:33] <zero> ive a question about installing a driver for a dial up modem
[06:33] <zero> ive the driver already
[06:34] <Arafangion> imbecile: It might actually already be installed.
[06:34] <zero> i just need help installing
[06:34] <Firebird> else try sudo apt-get install perl
[06:34] <n2diy> imbecile: how do you know it isn't installed already?
[06:34] <kdub> synaptic package manager is probably the easiest way to install perl, imbecile
[06:34] <haxr4hire> lnknpk04: sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt
[06:34] <n2diy> imbecile: how do you know it isn't installed already?
[06:35] <lnknpk04> haxr4hire: is that for windows when its partitioned or if its on a network.  I want to do this for a computer thats on my network
[06:35] <zero> the readme says to use the make command, but it says there is not a make command
[06:35] <imbecile> ahh turns out i have it
[06:35] <haxr4hire> o
[06:35] <IdleOne> zero, sudo aopt-get install build-essential
[06:35] <n2diy> imbecile: good
[06:35] <Arafangion> imbecile: perl is one of the things that you can generally assume exists on *any* unix or linux system.
[06:35] <zero> does that require... internet access???
[06:35] <imbecile> i need to compile this stuff :/
[06:35] <Arafangion> imbecile: What does perl have to do with compiling stuff?
[06:36] <IdleOne> zero,  yes
[06:36] <haxr4hire> lnknpk04: did you try going to Places -> Network Server
[06:36] <n2diy> imbecile: with perl?
[06:36] <zero> i need to install the driver to get internet access
[06:36] <erisco> are there any basic flight simulators for ubuntu?... I know there are some decent games
[06:36] <imbecile> well what im trying to compile is a perl app
[06:36] <zero> ;)
[06:36] <imbecile> i was wondering why it wasnt working
[06:36] <violot> erisco: Trt FlightGear
[06:36] <lnknpk04> i did, and it shows me my workgroup, but when i double click on it i get an error
[06:36] <Dark_Nexus> i've got my xinerama set up nicely working on dual monitors, my default resolution is on 1280x1024, however, i've got a horizantal setup so each workspace spans both screens.  however, when i try to change resolutions, it will switch to a clone mode and display the same thing on both screens.  i've tried messing around with my xorg.conf file, but no luck.  any way to get it so that other resolutions will use the horizantal setup?
[06:36] <IdleOne> zero,  packages.ubuntu.com to download packages and burn to cd then you can install to your ubuntu box
[06:36] <boknoy> im wondering if its possible to install freebsd over ssh from ubuntu
[06:36] <Firebird> you beat me to it violot :)
[06:36] <Arafangion> imbecile: Perl apps do not need compilation - the source code is directly executed with perl. (It's an interpreter)
[06:36] <zero> what will it do?
[06:37] <burepe> lnknpk04: Samba is what you need.
[06:37] <lnknpk04> "couldn't display smb:///workgroup" The location is not a folder
[06:37] <burepe> !samba
[06:37] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[06:37] <erisco> violot, FlightGear wasn't a package... want me to google it?
[06:37] <lnknpk04> its installed
[06:37] <violot> erisco: Maybe it's called fgfs or fg I don't recall
[06:37] <boknoy> im wondering if its possible to install freebsd over ssh from ubuntu?
[06:37] <violot> Lemme check
[06:37] <violot> (to erisco)
[06:37] <Firebird> it is a package according to apt-cache
[06:37] <IdleOne> zero,  build-essential will install make and a few other rthings to enable you to install your driver
[06:37] <imbecile> Arafangion, does ruby have anything to do with perl?
[06:37] <burepe> follow that link on how to set up lnknpk04
[06:37] <Firebird> flightgear - Flight Gear Flight Simulator
[06:37] <lnknpk04> now its pulling up the workgroup but only recognizing itself
[06:38] <burepe> really
[06:38] <damian> ubuntu-installer.exe
[06:38] <lnknpk04> burepe: i just set it up a couple minutes ago
[06:38] <burepe> have you tried smb4k
[06:38] <burepe> ?
[06:38] <lnknpk04> isn't that only for KDE?
[06:38] <burepe> no
[06:38] <violot> erisco, sudo apt-get install flightgear
[06:38] <lnknpk04> oh
[06:38] <Arafangion> imbecile: Ruby is a language that purports to be inspired by Perl, and is apparently also similar to Python.
[06:38] <lnknpk04> lemme give that a shot then
[06:38] <erisco> violot, big file eh? looks really fun though :D
[06:38] <haxr4hire> anyone know whats the best way to setup NetgearWG111 (usb dongle wireless)
[06:38] <erisco> violot, thanks very much for the info
[06:38] <Arafangion> imbecile: However, perl is currently faster than Ruby.
[06:39] <violot> erisco, No problem, have fun :)
[06:39] <burepe> lnknpk04: are you sure that your windows comps are not on another network like, mshome or workgroup ?
[06:39] <boknoy> would u know if its possibel to install bsd over ssh from linux i got a ubuntu box that i want to convert
[06:39] <Dark_Nexus>  i've got my xinerama set up nicely working on dual monitors, my default resolution is on 1280x1024, however, i've got a horizantal setup so each workspace spans both screens.  however, when i try to change resolutions, it will switch to a clone mode and display the same thing on both screens.  i've tried messing around with my xorg.conf file, but no luck.  any way to get it so that other resolutions will use the horizantal setup?
[06:39] <zero> im at the packages.ubuntu.com page, what do i download?
[06:39] <lnknpk04> burepe: its only one other computer.  its on WORKGROUP, which is what i set up samba for
[06:40] <imbecile> Arafangion, its definately not the easiest to install
[06:40] <IdleOne> zero, look for a package called build-essential
[06:41] <zero> im not seeing it
[06:41] <Arafangion> imbecile: It's actually rather easy to install, especially since, as you noted, perl is *already* installed. :)
[06:41] <lnknpk04> installing smb4k now...
[06:41] <Arafangion> zero: type "sudo apt-get install build-essential"
[06:41] <zero> im trying to install a driver
[06:41] <burepe> lnknpk04: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently?highlight=%28windows%29

[06:41] <lnknpk04> thanks
[06:42] <imbecile> Arafangion, sorry i know its kinda wierd but may i pm you for help?
[06:42] <Arafangion> zero: Do you have a friend who runs ubuntu and has net access?
[06:42] <Winter-1> anyone know how to install ubuntustudio-desktop
[06:42] <zero> no
[06:42] <Arafangion> imbecile: Sure, but I could be slow to respond.
[06:42] <zero> why cant i install the driver without the package?
[06:43] <Dark_Nexus>  i've got my xinerama set up nicely working on dual monitors, my default resolution is on 1280x1024.  i also have a horizantal setup so each workspace spans both screens.  however, when i try to change resolutions, it will switch to a clone mode and display the same thing on both screens.  i've tried messing around with my xorg.conf file, but no luck.  any way to get it so that other resolutions will use the horizantal setup?
[06:44] <madman91> Dark_Nexus: i'm jealous of your xinerama :D
[06:44] <lnknpk04> smb4k finds it
[06:44] <Dark_Nexus> heh
[06:44] <Dark_Nexus> i'm liking it, got the additional monitor for christmas
[06:44] <SilentDis> stupid question of the day:  is it possible to set seperate desktop backgrounds on each virtual desktop?
[06:44] <IdleOne> zero,  because to install the driver you need to type make rest-of-command and you dont have make
[06:45] <Dark_Nexus> if your window manager supports it, yes
[06:45] <IdleOne> zero, http://packages.ubuntu.com/dapper/devel/build-essential there you go
[06:45] <Dark_Nexus> what manager are you using?
[06:45] <madman91> Dark_Nexus: does it bother you that you have to move your eyes so much ?
[06:45] <Dark_Nexus> no, they need the exercise
[06:45] <n2diy> SilentDis: yes, right click on the panels, and play around.
[06:45] <Gorillasmalls> my update manager is not working it is telling me E: Type 'wget' is not known on line 54 in source list /etc/apt/sources.list
[06:45] <Gorillasmalls> E: The list of sources could not be read.
[06:45] <Gorillasmalls> Go to the repository dialog to correct the problem.
[06:45] <SilentDis> Dark_Nexus, Gnome 2.16 w/ beryl 0.1.4
[06:45] <Gorillasmalls> how do i fix that
[06:46] <IdleOne> !easysource Gorillasmalls
[06:46] <haxr4hire> anyone know how to setup NetgearWG111 (usb dongle wireless)
[06:46] <IdleOne> !easysource | Gorillasmalls
[06:46] <ubotu> Gorillasmalls: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[06:46] <Dark_Nexus> i'm not really to sure about gnome, i only have experience with xfce
[06:46] <fr500_> Gorillasmalls: the lines on sources.list should begin with deb or deb-src, chck line 54
[06:46] <Dark_Nexus> the desktop utility that comes with it might have the optiontoo
[06:46] <fr500_> haxr4hire: is it detected?
[06:46] <Gorillasmalls> thank you fr500
[06:46] <fr500_> no prob Gorillasmalls
[06:47] <mwalker_mewconsu> can anyone help me with this error? I just installed Ubuntu and ran the updates but I received this error

[06:47] <erisco> violot, "flightgear" doesn't appear to work
[06:47] <zero> now, what do i do with the build essential package?
[06:47] <SilentDis> n2diy, not seeing an option there, unfortunatly :(
[06:48] <zero> how do install it?
[06:48] <Dark_Nexus> i've got my xinerama set up nicely working on dual monitors, my default resolution is on 1280x1024.  i also have a horizantal setup so each workspace spans both screens.  however, when i try to change resolutions, it will switch to a clone mode and display the same thing on both screens.  i've tried messing around with my xorg.conf file, but no luck.  any way to get it so that other resolutions will use the horizantal setup?
[06:48] <IdleOne> can somebody tell zero  how to add a CD repo to his source so he can install from CD
[06:48] <Dark_Nexus> and yes, i am just copying and pasting that :/
[06:49] <erisco> violot, "fgfs", got it, thanks
[06:49] <SilentDis> IdleOne, you're looking for apt-cdrom :)
[06:49] <IdleOne> zero,  would be alot easier and faster if you just got a NiC card and a router
[06:49] <n2diy> SilentDis: hmm, no, I'm not either, I could do that in FC1
[06:50] <zero> no dsl access...bad location
[06:50] <IdleOne> zero,  to install from the cd you are going to burn you will type in terminal apt-cdrom install build-essential
[06:50] <SilentDis> IdleOne, the command is sudo apt-cdrom add.  it'll prompt you through putting the disk in, etc
[06:50] <IdleOne> SilenceGold, thank you
[06:50] <IdleOne> ahhh
[06:50] <n2diy> !cdrom
[06:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cdrom - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:50] <IdleOne> well
[06:50] <zero> ive got it on the desktop
[06:50] <zero> i just used a jumpdrive to transfer it

[06:52] <Firebird> /usr/share/xmms/Skins
[06:52] <nevron> !update
[06:52] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[06:52] <haxr4hire> fr500, no and its WG111t
[06:52] <h3xis> nevron, sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade
[06:52] <haxr4hire> fr500, no and its WG111t
[06:52] <n2diy> nevron: sudo updatedb
[06:52] <SilentDis> IdleOne, I'm SilentDis, btw ;)  anyway, it SHOULD be sudo apt-get install <packagename>, in this case build-essential.  once the CD is in the local list, it'll poll that first, then online.
[06:53] <nevron> ok hexis thx
[06:53] <IdleOne> SilentDis,  sorry:)
[06:53] <damian>  what program do I use to decompress 7zip files??

[06:54] <h3xis> damian, run sudo apt-cache search 7zip. it should return the name of the package that will allow you to do so
[06:54] <Dark_Nexus> zero, use cd ..
[06:54] <missingXtension> help my usb moousean kyboard dot work even though lspci shows the conetion

[06:54] <h3xis> fotoflo, is it IDE or SATA?
[06:54] <n2diy> IdleOne: what are your choices if you right click it?
[06:54] <fotoflo> IDE
[06:54] <haxr4hire> how do u setup wg111t ?
[06:54] <edgarin_> Hi to all people
[06:54] <h3xis> fotoflo, which partition is it in?
[06:54] <Terminus> !ntfs | fotoflo

[06:55] <IdleOne> n2diy, it isnt me it is zero  who needs to install buold-essential wich is sitting on his desktop
[06:55] <fotoflo> there's only one on that drive
[06:55] <fotoflo> i dont think its NTFS
[06:55] <SilentDis> IdleOne, sure.  sudo dpkg -i ~/desktop/build-*.deb should do the trick :)
[06:55] <fotoflo> ubuntu is running on my slave drive
[06:55] <fotoflo> mhwhahah
[06:55] <fotoflo> err... and windows is on the master drive
[06:55] <Dark_Nexus> i've got my xinerama set up nicely working on dual monitors, my default resolution is on 1280x1024.  i also have a horizantal setup so each workspace spans both screens.  however, when i try to change resolutions, it will switch to a clone mode and display the same thing on both screens.  i've tried messing around with my xorg.conf file, but no luck.  any way to get it so that other resolutions will use the horizantal setup?
[06:55] <n2diy> IdleOne: roger that, Zero, what happens when you right click it?
[06:56] <SilentDis> IdleOne, oops, that's sudo dpkg -i ~/Desktop/build-*.deb  (caps are important, after all :)

[07:00] <fotoflo> which part of it
[07:00] <Dark_Nexus> i've got my xinerama set up nicely working on dual monitors, my default resolution is on 1280x1024.  i also have a horizantal setup so each workspace spans both screens.  however, when i try to change resolutions, it will switch to a clone mode and display the same thing on both screens.  i've tried messing around with my xorg.conf file, but no luck.  any way to get it so that other resolutions will use the horizantal setup?
[07:00] <fotoflo> the whole thing?
[07:00] <h3xis> you need to add a line
[07:00] <fotoflo> err
[07:00] <h3xis> it's /etc/fstab

[07:01] <h3xis> fotoflo, why?
[07:01] <zero> how about pm
[07:01] <Murchadh> !UUID
[07:01] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in the terminal: "blkid" (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[07:01] <beasty> nn y'all

[07:04] <h3xis> missingXtension, try running sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and see. it should ask you about keyboard and mouse in there, if i remember correctly

[07:06] <zero> n2diy, i opened nautilus ;)
[07:06] <n2diy> zero, with sudo?
[07:07] <zero> yes
[07:07] <n2diy> zero, I don't know why you moved it, but anyway, try and extract/open now, to the file system.
[07:07] <missingXtension> isnt there a phigh missing the the command to reconf xorg?
[07:08] <h3xis> missingXtension, what?
[07:08] <zero> n2, ive it extracted to the root so its like this filesystem/build-essential/bunch of files

[07:09] <fotoflo> it comes with a music player that cant play mp3s
[07:09] <h3xis> fotoflo, oh it can ;P
[07:09] <Dark_Nexus> that's because mp3's are a protected format
[07:09] <fotoflo> you just have to say abracadabra?
[07:09] <h3xis> yeah
[07:09] <Dark_Nexus> which you technically need a license for its decoder

[07:10] <trying2install> oh man.  At least tell me somewhere where I can get some help?
[07:11] <LameBMX> xmms is nice
[07:11] <h3xis> xmms is dead

[07:11] <jordan> Hey I am having some problems with ubuntu
[07:11] <Dark_Nexus> i prefer amarok
[07:11] <Kris_S> Anyone have any hints on installing beryl with dapper?  Everything I try to add gives me an "ubuntu" equivalent instead of the actual version
[07:11] <fotoflo> but not for audio
[07:11] <h3xis> zero, run sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:12] <trying2install> fotoflo: yeah I'm honestly starting to think you have the right idea.
[07:12] <LameBMX> trying2install, delete hda3 so its just free space .. then select hda .. and check for largest freespace
[07:12] <Jordan_U> I no longer have a URL bar in Firefox
[07:12] <h3xis> fotoflo, audacious is winamp like
[07:12] <n2diy> zero, run updatedb, and try it again.
[07:12] <jordan> My internet connection is unusally slow
[07:12] <fotoflo> i remember using xmmc about 6 years ago, downloading that
[07:12] <h3xis> get it missingXtension ?
[07:12] <fotoflo> no good?
[07:12] <trying2install> Lam_ thankyou.
[07:12] <h3xis> fotoflo, it's no longer maintained
[07:12] <wastrel> Jordan_U:  view > toolbars > navigation toolbar
[07:12] <missingXtension> nope its probly a module
[07:12] <jordan> My internet connection is only slow with ubuntu, now with windows
[07:12] <h3xis> fotoflo, audacious is the SAME just better
[07:12] <fotoflo> neither is soundjam - still the best for mac
[07:13] <missingXtension> it  happens as the kernel is booting
[07:13] <LameBMX> n e ways i was asking if anyone knows how to pep up vlc ... my first install it played vides nice .. they looked a bit crappy though
[07:13] <fotoflo> k
[07:13] <missingXtension> it does it at my generic kernel too
[07:13] <Jordan_U> wastrel: Thanks.
[07:13] <LameBMX> this time they are a bit stuttery here and there (bearable) but its like better than dvd resolution on a normal TV
[07:13] <n2diy> h3xis: audacious hasl replaced audacity?
[07:13] <h3xis> no
[07:13] <h3xis> omg
[07:13] <h3xis> XD
[07:13] <n2diy> has*
[07:14] <arrenlex> n2diy: I believe they are different things entirely.
[07:14] <h3xis> theyre two diff programs n2diy
[07:14] <missingXtension> damn i guess ubuntu is not playing nice this whole week
[07:14] <Dark_Nexus> i've got my xinerama set up nicely working on dual monitors, my default resolution is on 1280x1024.  i also have a horizantal setup so each workspace spans both screens.  however, when i try to change resolutions, it will switch to a clone mode and display the same thing on both screens.  i've tried messing around with my xorg.conf file, but no luck.  any way to get it so that other resolutions will use the horizantal setup?
[07:14] <n2diy> Roger
[07:14] <missingXtension> dark_nexus: did u try running aticonfig --help it has a xinerama command
[07:15] <trying2install> LameBMX: seems to be working. ty. Hope it doesn't touch my other partitions.
[07:15] <LameBMX> trying2install, please note that linux will need at least 2 partitions ... / and swap (though i read somewhere about creating a swap file and mounting it as swap
[07:15] <Dark_Nexus> missingXtension, i have not, i will do that
[07:15] <LameBMX> trying2install, the linux tools are good for that stuff
[07:15] <trying2install> LameBMX: yeah have a 745 meg swap ready.
[07:15] <n2diy> Is audacious in the repos?
[07:15] <LameBMX> ahh cool cool
[07:15] <h3xis> n2diy, im not sure
[07:15] <missingXtension> i cant remember cause i have a aiw and my second display is tvout
[07:16] <wastrel> !audacious
[07:16] <h3xis> n2diy, you can check though :P
[07:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about audacious - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:16] <LameBMX> i had 2GB swap file and never activated it lol
[07:16] <Kris_S> is there a way to get the ubuntu system to use real version numbers instead of the ubuntu versions?
[07:16] <LameBMX> 1gb ram though ...
[07:16] <n2diy> h3xis: yes, but I'm working with a problem now, so that will have to wait. :)
[07:16] <h3xis> n2diy, alright XD
[07:16] <LameBMX> havent touched swap yet ... heck saw ram touch 90% like once
[07:16] <trying2install> LameBMX: you find that with 1GB ram you don't need swap
[07:16] <pianoboy3333> What's a good program for burning dvds? Is there a good program for lightscribe?
[07:16] <trying2install> ?
[07:17] <h3xis> pianoboy3333, not sure about lightscribe but i think theres one built into gnome
[07:17] <LameBMX> trying2install, dont know .. this is like my 15th install in the past 2 weeks ..
[07:17] <missingXtension> well thanks for the help guys but debian has been nothing but troube for me ill try someone else
[07:17] <zero> n2diy, when i use the command u said, terminal says that it couldn't find build-essential
[07:17] <h3xis> pianoboy3333, i think it's called gnome bake? nero linux works too but neither have lightscribe support
[07:17] <LameBMX> i tend to break new things really fast till i figure out how to fix them

[07:29] <wastrel> mmm |
[07:30] <madman91> seanzer: how would i do that?
[07:30] <seanzer> madman91: well, I suppose there's the package manager or the cli method using apt-get
[07:30] <seanzer> madman91: couldn't tell you exactly, i don't use ubuntu
[07:30] <madman91> seanzer: its the newest package
[07:30] <Innomen> Behold the greatest threat to the adoption of open source, the irate semi skilled teen :)
[07:30] <h3xis> Innomen, what?
[07:31] <n2diy> zero, I have a great memory, but it is short. :) If you can find it on the CD just right click on it , and open it.
[07:31] <seanzer> madman91: are there past versions or experimental versions you could use?
[07:31] <wastrel> <3 innomen  :]
[07:31] <madman91> seanzer: yea i guess
[07:31] <Innomen> Question, will extension developed for windows firefox port to ubuntu? I'm just reading at this point, i havent tried it yet.

[07:31] <seanzer> Innomen: most do, some don't
[07:31] <Innomen> h3xis: scrool up if you didnt "hear" me

[07:31] <Innomen> seanzer: thank you very much :)
[07:31] <seanzer> Innomen: things that are plugins for windows functions obviously don't port over very well
[07:31] <zero> IdleOne, could you help me please
