[02:42] <tillint> rosah_keifer, I need real help here, can't figure this out, please give an example how to mount
[02:42] <Joe_CoT> *poke*
[02:42] <AngryElf> what kernel module most likely enables my onboard sound?
[02:42] <DARKGuy> Hm, I'm a bit puzzled with bash scripting here... anybody knows how to search in all .txt files a phrase and show in what file is it at least?
[02:42] <fokuslee> flannel so the subscript is terminated and 1 is returned to wutever called the subscript indicating an error rite?
[02:42] <kitche> AngryElf: what's your sound card
[02:43] <Flannel> fokuslee: right.
[02:43] <kupesoft> I got disconnected
[02:43] <zcat[1] > AngryElf: lspci
[02:43] <fokuslee> Thanks abunch Flannel and arrenlex u guys are great!
[02:43] <Rosh_Keifer> tillint: Most types are automatically detected, so don't worry about the '-' things. Let's say you wanted to mount the first partition of your hard drive to /media/harddrive. You'd do "mount /dev/hda1 /media/harddrive" The format is "mount (device) (place to mount it to)"
[02:43] <arrenlex> DARKGuy: grep "goobar" *.txt
[02:43] <Rosh_Keifer> tillint: This way, if you look in /media/harddrive, you'd see the contents of the device located at /dev/hda1
[02:43] <Li`lEndian> Hello, all, i cant figure out what to do in order to configure the passwd for xvncserver
[02:44] <kupesoft> I have a multi-user environment on a server where I can't trust my users not to hog resources and spawn too many processes (re: fork bomb).  How can I limit resources and processes on a per-user basis?
[02:44] <Li`lEndian> !vnc
[02:44] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[02:44] <kitche> Rosh_Keifer: firmware goes in /lib/firmware
[02:44] <Rosh_Keifer> kitche: THANK YOU
[02:44] <tillint> rosh_keifer, thank you, didnt understand yet, but anyway :)
[02:44] <DARKGuy> arrenlex: Oh wow, I thought it was more complex xD big thanks! :D
[02:44] <tillint> ubuntu wants me to boot

[02:44] <zcat[1] > kupesoft: ulimit ...
[02:44] <ChrisBradley> http://www.unitedstatesoflinux.org/ == #uslinux
[02:44] <tillint> cya after 2 min?-)
[02:44] <AngryElf> kitche, zcat[1]  it's an onboard nvidia -- for whatever reason it's disappeared out of lspci -- shouldn't it still show up regaldless of whether the kernel module is loaded or not?
[02:45] <kupesoft> zcat[1] : man ulimit doesn't work
[02:45] <zcat[1] > AngryElf: yeah.. weird.
[02:45] <adamonline> arrenlex: Thank you!  I can see how that would work... So, basically, if the grep finds something, it will return true if called in a test? Should that be in brackets?
[02:45] <Li`lEndian> ablyss: do'h
[02:45] <ablyss> bash 101 down the hall :P
[02:45] <zcat[1] > kupesoft: try help ulimit ... I think there's a systemwide file (/etc/ulimits or something) that applies limits to login shells too.
[02:46] <kitche> AngryElf: it will be snd_intel8x0 it works with nvidia sound also since nvidia uses AC97
[02:46] <theflyingfool> are there any progs like frost wire in the repos
[02:46] <Rosh_Keifer> kitche: ...There's already a  ipw3945.ucode  in /lib/firmware....
[02:46] <arrenlex> adamonline: this syntax uses the exit code of the command. It's saying: run echo "hello" | grep "hello". If this command returns without error (i.e. string was found) execute code A. Else b.
[02:46] <ablyss> Li`lEndian :-)
[02:46] <arrenlex> adamonline: Or you could use grep -v "hello" to execute A when the code is not found.
[02:46] <adamonline> ablyss: Good point, ANYONE: do you know a good BASH channel?
[02:46] <arrenlex> adamonline: the following is working code that will execute in the shell. Try it:
[02:46] <kitche> Rosh_Keifer: odd try iwlist scan see if it finds AP
[02:46] <dezza2> How can I get 1360x768 desktop resulution using GF 7600GT and a HDTV screen? I can only choose 1024x768 and it dosent fit screen. Please
[02:46] <arrenlex> adamonline: if echo "bob" | grep "bob" ; then echo "bob found" ; fi
[02:46] <Li`lEndian> heh. i am trying to actually connect to a windows machine which uses UltraVnc. would i be able to connect to it using xvncviewer? or is it incompatible?
[02:47] <Rosh_Keifer> kitche: It does.
[02:47] <adamonline> arrenlex: Thank you very much! Great explanation =)
[02:47] <ablyss> wikipedia/bash has some good stuff
[02:47] <jewbilee> nothlit: I tried using ntfslabal and it says use the force option with files, but I read the man and it doesnt say anything about that
[02:48] <nothlit> Li`lEndian, the regular vnc stuff is compatible, the file transfer/chat/screenblanking stuff isn't available
[02:48] <kitche> Rosh_Keifer: ok so your wireless works
[02:48] <nothlit> Li`lEndian, you can always run ultravnc's viewer under wine though
[02:48] <kitche> Rosh_Keifer: just that gnome-network-manager says what that it's disabled?
[02:48] <nothlit> jewbilee, you're not trying to use it on a file, you need to use it on the device
[02:48] <arrenlex> adamonline: If you don't want the shell to print echo "bob", redirect it to null: if echo "bob" | grep -v "bob">/dev/null ; then echo "bob was " ; fi
[02:48] <jewbilee> i know
[02:48] <nothlit> jewbilee, force is usually -f or --force
[02:48] <Rosh_Keifer> kitche: No. It doesn't show it. iwconfig doesn't show it. ifconfig -a doesn't show it. NOTHING SHOWS IT
[02:48] <arrenlex> adamonline: However, there's probably a better way to do it. xD This is just what works for me.
[02:49] <jewbilee> nothlit: i did "sudo ntfslabel  /media/windosws /media/windows
[02:49] <eckounltd> ive got 3 m/b d/l dsl ... will ubuntu allow me to use it to the full extent?
[02:49] <rdv> is there a way to get VNC server to not use a separate X session, i.e. to just take pictures of the screen so that 3D works?
[02:49] <kitche> Rosh_Keifer: you sure ifconfig -a doesn't show it it might be ethx
[02:49] <jewbilee> and thats what it said
[02:49] <eckounltd> 3 mb /sec
[02:49] <tillint> rosh_keifer, tell me that mounting thing again please
[02:49] <dezza2> How can I set screen resulotion manually? 1360x768 is unavailable... please help

[02:49] <nothlit> jewbilee, err you used ntfslabel on folder, not a device

[02:49] <rdv> arrenlex: thank you!
[02:49] <tillint> rosh_keifer, you mean RTFM and shup? ;(
[02:49] <nothlit> jewbilee, devices are under /dev
[02:50] <jewbilee> well
[02:50] <Rosh_Keifer> tillint: Sorry.
[02:50] <Rosh_Keifer> tillint: Wrong name.
[02:50] <jewbilee> nothlit: well how do I change it?
[02:50] <eckounltd> ive got 3 m/b d/l dsl ... will ubuntu allow me to use it to the full extent?
[02:50] <dezza2> thanks
[02:50] <eckounltd> 3 mb /sec
[02:50] <jewbilee> nothlit: all i want to do is rename the folder
[02:50] <Rosh_Keifer> tillint: mount /dev/whatever /media/wherever
[02:50] <Li`lEndian> nothlit: not the best place to ask- but are there any fully cross-compatible vnc servers/clients for windows? am guessing realvnc here.
[02:50] <Rosh_Keifer> kitche: eth0, lo, sit0. Take your pick.
[02:50] <nothlit> jewbilee, type mount and find out which device is mounted to /media
[02:50] <tillint> rosh_keifer, I try
[02:50] <kitche> Rosh_Keifer: hmm that is odd since it sees a AP but Linux didn't make a node for it but do you have an ethernet also?
[02:50] <cerebri> trying to install ubuntu and get the error "less then 4mb of memory --system halted" (had winME before).
[02:51] <cerebri> what to do?
[02:51] <cerebri> :-(
[02:51] <tillint> rosh_keifer, I'm not sure what partitions I have, or what linux calls them, dev what, sigh
[02:51] <arrenlex> cerebri: 4mb of memory? Stop trying to install Linux on your graphing calculator.
[02:51] <cerebri> 128mb ram, 512cache
[02:51] <nothlit> Li`lEndian, yeah, and tightvnc is multiplatform as well, but really they all are, in terms of the basic vnc stuff, and maybe different video encoding
[02:51] <jewbilee> nothlit: /dev/hdc1 on /media/windosws type ntfs (rw,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46)
[02:51] <nothlit> Li`lEndian, the other features don't really travel
[02:51] <Flannel> cerebri: what installer are you using?
[02:51] <cerebri> loadlin
[02:51] <Rosh_Keifer> tillint: Honestly, I can't explain it. You need to look it up. Also try man mount. Manuals can be tough to understand, but sometimes it's the only way.
[02:52] <nothlit> jewbilee, so you first sudo umount /dev/hdc1, then run sudo ntfslabel on /dev/hdc1
[02:52] <cerebri> former running winme(worst os ever as for now).
[02:52] <Shaba1> Rosh tough is and understatement
[02:52] <jewbilee> ok
[02:52] <rich__> I get this when installing sun-java5-jre  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/2002/, can anyone help?

[02:53] <Flannel> rich__: that's... good?  Do you get an error or something?
[02:53] <jewbilee> nithlit: i dont think it worked..
[02:53] <nothlit> Gokul, the man pages are automatically installed with each package
[02:53] <rich__> java wont start
[02:54] <Flannel> rich__: 'start'?
[02:54] <rich__> I tried going to a web page with java but nothing
[02:54] <Flannel> rich__: ah, you need the plugin
[02:54] <adamonline> arrenlex: Hah, there's always a better way to do anything =)  Like what _I'm_ trying to do: find the tty of a new shell I've opened by comparing the contents of /dev/pts before opening the new shell, to the contents of /dev/pts _after_ opening the new shell =D  I'm SURE that's not the best way to do that ;)  Thanks again!
[02:54] <tillint> WTF, I remember my password when I installed this, but now when I type "sudo" and enter my password, it says "invalid password"
[02:54] <rich__> how do I get that
[02:54] <Gokul> nothlit: what package does common C functions like "malloc" etc come in?
[02:54] <b1f30> hey all - does ubuntu have a 'testing' branch like debian?

[02:54] <nothlit> Gokul, wouldn't know, sorry

[02:56] <kitche> kupesoft: yes

[02:57] <Rosh_Keifer> Shaba1: Hmm.. You answer this one, since you know. :P
[02:57] <cerebri> Flannel: ?
[02:58] <nothlit> jewbilee, use ubuntuguide.org, it shows you how to correctly mount ntfs
[02:58] <nothlit> jewbilee, or you can cheat and use uid=jewbilee, but thats not the correct way
[02:58] <Flannel> cerebri: I'm not familiar with loadlin, sorry.  Do you have a CDRom?  why not use a regular install CD?

[03:13] <saif> :S wonder why it's so slow
[03:13] <saif> i donno, i have an amd64 ml-37 2ghx
[03:13] <A-L-P-H-A> sapage, you want it as a server, or client?
[03:13] <saif> i thought the performace would be better than this ( takes about 3 minutes to open visual studio )
[03:14] <saif> but then again, it is microsoft visual studio! ;)
[03:14] <arrenlex> saif: Of course it should be better than that! What OS are you trying to use?
[03:14] <A-L-P-H-A> saif, hmm... blame MS.  virtualize win2k.
[03:14] <rich__> what's the command to install the java5 plugin?
[03:14] <arrenlex> !java | rich__
[03:14] <ubotu> rich__: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[03:14] <grompf> Hi,has anyone else had problems making lm-sensors work with edgy?I keep getting a message saying it can't access sysfs.Strace shows that the sensors command is trying to open /sys/class/hwmon.Anyone knows what is supposed to be there?
[03:15] <saif> trying windows xp pro on vmware player
[03:15] <arrenlex> rich__: That was unhelpful. It's sun-java5-plugin
[03:15] <grompf> mine is empty
[03:15] <saif> anyway
[03:15] <arrenlex> saif: xD Any chance you could try an older system?
[03:15] <saif> if i find one around to download!
[03:15] <saif> will go looking!
[03:15] <saif> thanx!
[03:15] <arrenlex> saif: Visual Studio AFAIK will run on Wine. Futhermore, if you're using a language not invented by MS, you can use a Linux IDE.

[03:22] <kazuka> thats what I am trying to figure out this semester,.
[03:22] <saif> kazuka, goodluck!
[03:22] <Mez> arrenlex - any pluing just comes back with error coder -203 saying it cant insrtall
[03:22] <php-freak> hey guys how can i uninstall php5? its not the package version, but someone here helped me install it a long time ago, and i need to install from the package manager?
[03:22] <faeryNatsuki> do you know a place to get the openoffice 2.1 debs for ubuntu? or the repositories witth them?
[03:23] <arrenlex> Mez: Give me an example of one such plugin
[03:23] <Rosh_Keifer> I can't seem to copy from ntfs into my reiserfs... It's getting permission denied errors all over the place, even as root. What gives?
[03:23] <Mez> arrenlex, https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3104/
[03:23] <arrenlex> Mez: Those aren't plugins, those are add-ons\extensions. Plugins are very different: like flash.
[03:24] <Mez> arrenlex, ok, well - I meant extensions
[03:25] <Rosh_Keifer> This is awful. I can't copy my old files onto this. I can't use wireless...
[03:25] <Rosh_Keifer> You guys have some serious bugs to work out.
[03:25] <holycow> actually no
[03:25] <holycow> you need to get supported hardware
[03:25] <Rosh_Keifer> This IS supported hardware!
[03:25] <holycow> you are welcome to ask for a refund tho
[03:25] <holycow> :)
[03:26] <Rosh_Keifer> The wireless card is one of the most supported ones out there. The external hard drive is just a removable storage device!
[03:26] <holycow> and go talk to microsoft WHY they don't release ntfs specs
[03:26] <powoso> hi
[03:26] <holycow> then come and talk to us about getting read/write access to it
[03:26] <jewbilee> I think I accidently removed the first repository on the list in Synaptic, can anyone tell me how to readd it?
[03:26] <holycow> Rosh_Keifer, so whats the problem?
[03:27] <Rosh_Keifer> I know Linux. I'm not some newbie who's trying Ubuntu as a first time Linux. I'm installing it for my friend. I KNOW that NTFS stuff is almost good enough to reliably WRITE. Not being able to read files properly is a joke!
[03:27] <Madpilot> ubotu, repos | jewbilee
[03:27] <ubotu> jewbilee: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[03:27] <holycow> Rosh_Keifer, ehe all cool i'm buggin ya.  however, ntfs read works fine
[03:27] <Rosh_Keifer> holycow: The system sees my card, knows it's a wireless card, but doesn't make a node for it. It can read the files in an NTFS external hard drive but can't copy them.
[03:27] <DARKGuy> Rosh_Keifer: It is, based on your linux config :) if you'd give some detail on your fstab, devices and such, maybe we could help you read them
[03:27] <holycow> Roscar, i read from ntfs via usb mount every day, its no big deal
[03:28] <snide> hey guys how do i switch from gdm to kdm ?
[03:28] <jrib> snide: install kdm
[03:28] <Rosh_Keifer> DARKGuy: It's just an external USB hard drive. It reads fine. Copying is what doesn't work.
[03:28] <snide> oh thats all?
[03:28] <snide> alright cool ty
[03:28] <jewbilee> Madpilot: I know that, I need to know what the first one in the list is called
[03:28] <wastrel> hi
[03:28] <jrib> snide: should set itself up (I think)
[03:28] <powoso> dont want to intrude or anything but i just installed the window based prototype installer and it isn't working
[03:28] <kazuka> saif: hey dude
[03:28] <DARKGuy> Rosh_Keifer: Was it auto mounted?
[03:28] <holycow> Rosh_Keifer, no idea, i just buy whats supported, plug it in and go.  infact i buy laptops install ubuntu and wiereless just works.
[03:28] <snide> roger that
[03:28] <Rosh_Keifer> DARKGuy: It was.
[03:28] <Mez> arrenlex: any ideas/
[03:29] <arrenlex> Mez: Nope, sorry.
[03:29] <DARKGuy> Rosh_Keifer: try unmounting it and mounting it manually with the terminal, specifying some options? I don't know much about external USB devices other than my MP3, but that could be a wild guess o.o
[03:29] <Virtuall> Rosh_Keifer, maybe you're having problems with your reiserfs, not ntfs?
[03:29] <Rosh_Keifer> holycow: By all logic wireless in this laptop SHOULD just work, especially with the degree to which this card is supported. Ubuntu comes with drivers automatically modprobed and firmware to boot!
[03:29] <DARKGuy> Virtuall: good one o.o
[03:29] <Geoffrey2> holycow, lucky you....wireless is the #1 pain on this notebook of mine
[03:29] <Rosh_Keifer> Virtuall: Both are just fine, thanks.
[03:29] <saif> kazuka, yes?
[03:29] <holycow> Geoffrey2, not luck, research.  i'm not embellishing at all.  i buy em for the company.
[03:29] <holycow> Rosh_Keifer, what card?
[03:30] <Rosh_Keifer> holycow: Intel 3945.
[03:30] <wastrel> i have ipw2200
[03:30] <holycow> i have that in my asus z96f right next to me, works
[03:30] <wastrel> it Just Works <3
[03:30] <holycow> Roscar, oh are you running edgy?
[03:30] <Rosh_Keifer> holycow: I've been working on it for well over two hours. Figured out that while the ipw3945 driver is probed, the card is recognized as a network device, the firmware is present, etc... There is no node created.
[03:30] <holycow> i should say it works in dapper, i'm sticking with that,  not sure if there is an issue in edgy, didn't test that yet
[03:31] <Geoffrey2> holycow, well, I already had this computer and decided to try Ubuntu on it, so I was pretty much stuck with what I had...however, can you reccomend any good PCMCIA wireless cards that work well with Ubuntu?
[03:31] <Rosh_Keifer> holycow: Goodie. Newer means less functional. JOY.,
[03:31] <snide> !pcmcia
[03:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about pcmcia - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:31] <jewbilee> How can I reset my Ubuntu install back to defaults?
[03:31] <snide> aw come on u should know something about it, ubuntu bot lol
[03:32] <holycow> Geoffrey2, i don't have my list with me.  there is a list of tested pcmcia wireless cards on the wiki tho by manufacturer
[03:32] <Bobz19> hey jewbilee , any link with the jubilee i know?
[03:32] <kupesoft> Geoffrey: ralink-based cards
[03:32] <holycow> Rosh_Keifer, the one thing about ubuntu is that a) it freezes off of debian unstable, and b) it releases every 6 months
[03:32] <jewbilee> Bobz19: play on words
[03:32] <Geoffrey2> holycow, ok, thanks...my problem here is that it's a Broadcom chipset...and I've quickly picked up that Broadcom and Linux just don't get along....period....
[03:32] <jewbilee> How do i reset my ubuntu install without having to totally reinstall ubuntu
[03:33] <JohnFlux> Hey all
[03:33] <wastrel> broadcom you have to use ndiswrapper right?
[03:33] <holycow> Rosh_Keifer, dapper is the FIRST thoroughly useable release imho
[03:33] <Rosh_Keifer> holycow: I think you mean it releases every six months since Dapper. Breezy was around for a year, if I remember correctly.
[03:33] <wastrel> warty was plenty usable
[03:33] <wastrel> meh
[03:33] <zYe> can anyone tell me how to insert a .dll into the wine directory?
[03:33] <powoso> hey i was wondering if someone could help me out
[03:33] <JohnFlux> anyone know how to get init to load a module
[03:33] <holycow> Geoffrey2, i have a bunch of those laptops ... acer 3620's they seem to work fine ... hmmm.
[03:33] <JohnFlux> I need init to load ide-generic
[03:33] <wastrel> i thought potato was pretty usable tho.  so evs
[03:33] <holycow> Geoffrey2, it is true tho
[03:33] <holycow> Roscar, wrong
[03:33] <Dalebuntu> I'm new to Ubuntu and having an issue with Hibernation. The choice to hibernate appears on the shutdown menu, but, when I select it, it just blanks the screen leaving a blinking cursor. Nothing ever happens. Help!
[03:34] <holycow> Rosh_Keifer, even, its always been 6 months
[03:34] <Rosh_Keifer> holycow: Well, good to know. Shiny isn't always good. Time to go to trusty ol' Dapper.

[03:34] <Rosh_Keifer> holycow: Whee! Downgrade! :P
[03:34] <ubuntu1> hey is there someone who know some Web e-mai gui server
[03:34] <jewbilee> how can I reset my Ubuntu back to defaults?
[03:34] <ubuntu1> with NNTP
[03:35] <Rosh_Keifer> holycow: No Beryl for this lappy, though. :(
[03:35] <Geoffrey2> holycow, Dell Inspiron 6000....so it's a Dell OEM of a Broadcom wireless chip.....on wireless I keep losing the network every few hours, and if it runs for any length of time beyond that on wireless, the card takes the whole computer down with it
[03:35] <holycow> Rosh_Keifer, people complain about debians release cycle, after you have run something as bleeding edge as ubuntu you start to see WHY debians release cycle is awesome *qc*
[03:36] <holycow> Geoffrey2, oh! yes indeedy
[03:36] <holycow> thats just weird
[03:36] <freezey_> i am tryin to burn MP3 cd's with K3B but its just not working... i can burn freakin double layer dvds but not a dam MP3 cd
[03:36] <anddy> I've installed gcc.. and now i'm trying to do ./config for an app and i get the following message -- no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH. Can someone tell me how to correct this?
[03:36] <holycow> Geoffrey2, they release some sort of binary blob ... and this is the crap we get for tryiing to work with proprietary companies
[03:36] <jewbilee> what Program do I use to burn an ISO to disc?
[03:36] <holycow> when it crashes it can't be fixed

[03:37] <holycow> oh good call, forgot about that
[03:37] <chovy> where can i find the system requirements for ubunutu?
[03:37] <Geoffrey2> which would be great if I no longer need to boot into Windows every time I want to go to a Flash heavy page, and there's a lot of those out there
[03:38] <holycow> chovy, basically anything over 500mhz and 512 megs of ram
[03:38] <zac1> how do i install xcircuit
[03:38] <Dalebuntu> Any hibernation gurus out there?
[03:38] <holycow> chovy, its all you need to know.  the hard part is making sure your system 'components' are supported.  please do LOTS of research on that
[03:38] <chovy> holycow: is there an official doc?
[03:39] <wastrel> zac1:  use synaptic,  system > administration > synaptic package manager
[03:39] <ctothej> Hey. I have compiz running. How do I configure it?
[03:39] <holycow> chovy, nothing super official. there is a doc for supported network cards on the wiki, there is a doc on supported laptops on wiki, there are website pages out there athe describe support for other components such as modems, chipsets and so forth.  nothing on one page no
[03:39] <chovy> holycow: i'd like to install edubuntu on an old pc for my wife's librarian...but it only has a 2GB drive.
[03:40] <holycow> thats fine
[03:40] <wastrel> that should be sufficient
[03:40] <holycow> stick as much ram into it as you can tho
[03:40] <chovy> i can do updates, etc? i just installed ubuntu and it was about 2gb
[03:40] <holycow> yeah no prob
[03:40] <holycow> basic install is what? 1 gig? something like that
[03:40] <chovy> holycow: 2gb
[03:41] <chovy> i mean, i just installed it flat out...and ran the updates.
[03:41] <holycow> chovy, don't forget that you can always remove packages you don't need.  basic install is a FULL DESKTOP with ALL APPS for that category
[03:41] <chovy> that came out to just under 2gb
[03:41] <chovy> yeah, i'm wondering if edubuntu is more or less.
[03:41] <holycow> remove a few things you don't need to give your self a bit of space
[03:41] <holycow> chovy, probably  more, it includes a lot of childrens apps
[03:41] <chovy> i hate to pay $40 for an 80gb drive when all i need is 6.
[03:42] <holycow> don't forget to do sudo apt-get clean to remove the downloaded packages once in a while
[03:42] <Dalebuntu> Does Xbuntu have a smaller footprint?
[03:42] <chovy> i'm really interested in edubuntu since it's for a jr. high.
[03:42] <chovy> i will try on the 2gb, then go from there if it fails
[03:43] <holycow> chovy, sure, just ask
[03:43] <chovy> the school just paid 50k to microsoft for licensing fees.
[03:43] <Dalebuntu> Any takers for a hibernation question?
[03:43] <chovy> chaps my hide.
[03:43] <holycow> chovy, for that money you could update all the machines, provide training as well
[03:43] <holycow> chovy, me too dude, me too
[03:44] <chovy> holycow: i know...but administrators don't care. they are clueless.
[03:44] <holycow> *nod* yeah i see that too
[03:45] <chovy> there's usually one or two tech people for a school, and they aren't the best.
[03:45] <nothlit> Chousuke, O_O holy....
[03:45] <holycow> chovy, time to get on topic again
[03:45] <holycow> next question?
[03:45] <chovy> what's the topic?
[03:46] <holycow> ubuntu :)
[03:46] <holycow> lol
[03:46] <holycow> ubuntu specific basic install/user support more specifically
[03:46] <holycow> politics and other are off the table

[03:53] <ammiel> bruenig, basically i just need this for wine, i mean is there a way i can just get the 32 bit libraries through synaptic?
[03:53] <jaebird> anyone a DVD UDF person here?
[03:53] <ubuntu__> bruenig: well i'll soon find out
[03:53] <ubuntu__> ammiel:  for?
[03:53] <bruenig> ammiel, not sure, I believe that there are some threads on wine for 64 bit in the forums
[03:53] <Juan> dcc transfers are slow for me, no matter which client i use, how to i make them faster?
[03:53] <ammiel> ubuntu__ for wine
[03:53] <bruenig> mzuverink, a more specific error message might help
[03:53] <ammiel> ok ill look it up or figure it out
[03:54] <jaebird> I burned a standard DVD+R disc, the filenames are cropped to 8.3 under ubuntu, but full in WinXP
[03:54] <jaebird> if I remove the ISO9660 from fstab and only allow udf I see the full file names but permissions are all wrong.
[03:55] <ubuntu__> bruenig:  compiling now, ty :)
[03:55] <bruenig> ammiel, this looks promising, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297280
[03:55] <jaebird> it seems that ubuntu is mounting it as ISO9660 instead of UDF?? WinXP claims the FS is UDF
[03:55] <jaebird> anyone?
[03:55] <lupine_85> -t udf
[03:55] <ubuntu__> bruenig:  nope did not work
[03:56] <bruenig> ubuntu__, I doubt you are able to make that decision so quickly
[03:56] <jaebird> lupine_85: mount option?
[03:56] <lupine_85> yeah

[03:59] <AlienX> I'm having a bit of an issue with my Nvidia geforce4 420 go. I am able to successfully get the nvidia driver to work but it looks like the viewable display is about half of what my monitor is capable of and the resolution goes down to 800x600. Anyone have any suggestions?
[03:59] <bruenig> ubuntu__, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/ntfs-3g/ get debs from there
[03:59] <holycow> AlienX, typiclally the answer is the correct vertical and horizontal refresh rates ... however, is this a laptop?
[03:59] <bruenig> mzuverink, that package is from a third party source, perhaps there is a problem with it?
[04:00] <AlienX> holycow, yeah, it's a laptop.
[04:00] <AlienX> holycow, I posted on the forum as well http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=340890
[04:00] <holycow> AlienX, i would google refresh rates of the lcd anyway and restart x ... thats a start
[04:00] <jewbilee> I cant seem to get the flashplugin-nonfree to install
[04:00] <AlienX> holycow, Thanks, I'll give that a go.
[04:00] <dabaR> jewbilee: errors?
[04:00] <ubuntu__> jewbilee:  get it from adobe.com
[04:00] <bruenig> jewbilee, flash 9 just came out, you should get that
[04:00] <holycow> AlienX, cool, lets us know if it works
[04:01] <jewbilee> bruenig: how?
[04:01] <bruenig> jewbilee, simple howto, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=279990
[04:01] <AlienX> holycow, absolutely.
[04:01] <grompf> Anyone knows why i2c_sensor module doesn't exist under edgy?
[04:02] <mzuverink> bruenig, the main issue is that I install trevinos source list, it was a deb file with full sources from mainy repos.  Now the wpasupplicant package is updatable but the updated deb is broken.  When I attempt to remove the offending source list deb it also wants to do the update to the wpasupplicant.  is there a way to just force the removal of that source list deb without doing nything else?
[04:03] <jaebird> i use flashblock
[04:03] <jgedeon> sg NickServ IDENTIFY 600156
[04:03] <anddy> why when i install build-essentials is ncurses not found?
[04:03] <ubuntu__> bruenig:  ty
[04:04] <HymnToLife> jgedeon, always use the server tab for this ;)
[04:04] <bruenig> mzuverink, source list deb, do you mean trevinos repository when you say that? Because to do that just open your sources.list and delete it. If you want to remove that deb from your computer, first try sudo apt-get remove wpasupplicant, and if that doesn't work sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/wpasupplicant_0.5.7+3v1ubuntu4_i386.deb
[04:04] <jgedeon> HymnToLife: Yea I know..  Changing it now.
[04:04] <dabaR> jaebird: you are not from winipeg, are you?
[04:04] <jewbilee> Bruenig: thanks that worked great!
[04:04] <barnabas> hi
[04:04] <alek66> I installed vmware-server and It wont let me set my serial number anyone has any ideas?
[04:04] <dabaR> wassup barnabas

[04:05] <dabaR> OK.
[04:05] <barnabas> how do i clear /var/lib/dpkg/available ?
[04:05] <ubuntu__> bruenig: u know so much, u rock ty mate :)

[04:05] <bruenig> !thanks
[04:05] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[04:05] <jewbilee> How do I install the Java 5 JDK?
[04:05] <ubuntu__> jewbilee:  java is in synaptic
[04:05] <Torist> anyone know what to do to enable cgi execution in apache2? what lines do i have to add to the apache2.conf?
[04:05] <bruenig> jewbilee, sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk
[04:05] <der0b> alek66: are you pasting it from an email or manually entering it..  I had that happen before, pasting it worked for me..  YMMV
[04:05] <barnabas> i have searched forum after forum and haven't found the command
[04:06] <jewbilee> bruenig: thanks again :)
[04:06] <Juan> dcc transfers are slow for me, no matter which client i use, how to i make them faster?
[04:06] <alek66> der0b, I paste but the optiion for enter the serial, which i have, i disable
[04:06] <tonyyarusso> Juan: Get a faster connection?
[04:06] <samalex> Groovy!  My first few minutes on Ubuntu, and it's nice!  I love the new KDE... it's been probably 3 years since I really used a GUI Linux desktop
[04:07] <Juan> nope, it not either my connection or the user serving
[04:07] <wastrel> kde eh
[04:07] <bruenig> barnabas, on my machine /var/lib/dpkg/available is a text file, so rm it
[04:07] <alek66> der0b,  i can see the enter serial but it isn avaliable, though i runned as root and regular user
[04:07] <yanger> is there any documenation on how automount works in ubuntu 6.10? i installed ubuntu on two PCs, one automounts usb drives and cd/dvds, the other PC does not automount at all.
[04:07] <ubuntu__> bruenig:  prob. it is time to update my ubuntu to new ver.
[04:07] <der0b> alek66: what do you mean by isn't available?
[04:07] <Juan> i should be getting around 60kb/s on that fserve, but i don't get more than 25 on any fserve
[04:07] <bruenig> ubuntu__, what are you running?
[04:07] <ubuntu__> bruenig:  5 :)
[04:08] <tekkou> Hi all, I'm having trouble switching my laptop over to Ubuntu... it can't recognize my DVD drive. Any chance someone can help me?
[04:08] <alek66> der0b, let me make a screenshot OK?
[04:08] <bruenig> ubuntu__, yeah at least to dapper if not edgy
[04:08] <tonyyarusso> Juan: Is it being shaped?
[04:08] <dabaR> yanger: same installation setup?
[04:08] <Juan> what do you mean
[04:08] <bigfuzzyjesus> orly
[04:08] <jewbilee> bruenig: one more question, how do I install the JRE now?
[04:08] <tonyyarusso> Juan: Your ISP could be limiting it.
[04:08] <yanger> dabaR, yep. same mainboard, different video cards, and different hdds, but similar
[04:08] <ubuntu__> yanger:  chk under admin. "removable drive /media"
[04:08] <HymnToLife> tekkou, what do you mean 'it can't regognize" ?
[04:08] <bruenig> jewbilee, sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jre
[04:08] <Juan> just dcc?
[04:08] <anddy> why when i install build-essentials is ncurses not found? how can I correct this?
[04:08] <ubuntu__> sorry i mean yanger
[04:08] <jewbilee> bruenig: my savior man
[04:08] <ubuntu__> yanger:  is that what u mean?
[04:08] <dabaR> yanger: I mean same ubuntu, not ubuntu vs. xubuntu or something weird...
[04:08] <HymnToLife> anddy, drop the final s
[04:08] <tonyyarusso> Juan: Who knows.  Sometimes they muck with stuff by port
[04:09] <clayg> i kinda like that 'server' install, and being able to ssh in from my couch and install/config what i like
[04:09] <clayg> for a straight up server install would there be anhy reason to go newer than breezy?
[04:09] <HymnToLife> !nuild-essential
[04:09] <yanger> oh, same ubuntu
[04:09] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nuild-essential - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[04:09] <clayg> for a straight up server install would there be anhy reason to go newer than breezy?
[04:09] <yanger> ubuntu__, yep
[04:09] <tekkou> Hymn - during the install, it doesn't have the ability to mount the drive... says I'd need a floppy for it, or a network install
[04:09] <barnabas> i don't have the access it says denied
[04:09] <der0b> alek66: you should be running the installer with sudo, when it asks for the serial, you should be able to copy it from the vmware email, and right click the terminal window to paste it in
[04:09] <Flannel> clayg: you should go with dapper, breezy will be unsupported in three months
[04:09] <jrib> clayg: yes, use dapper.  breezy is near EOF
[04:09] <tonyyarusso> clayg: Apps.  For instance, sobby won't work prior to edgy.
[04:09] <jrib> clayg: erm EOL I mean :)
[04:09] <HymnToLife> clayg, yess, because Dapper has LTS
[04:09] <yanger> ubuntu__, "removable drive /media" ?
[04:09] <bruenig> anddy, what do you mean can't find ncurses?
[04:09] <HymnToLife> so no upgrade needed for five years
[04:09] <alek66> der0b,  I already installed and it never asked me for a serial
[04:10] <yanger> ahh, preferences -> removable drives/media
[04:10] <barnabas> breunig it doesn't let  me rm
[04:10] <ubuntu__> yanger:  nada, in admin, under removable chk option 'auto mount'
[04:10] <anddy> bruenig: during a ./configure it fails and says it can't find libncurses
[04:10] <alek66> der0b, I wanted to enter my serial and I can see the botton but its disable. like visual basic button.avaliable=false
[04:10] <AlienX> well sadly, that didn't work :(
[04:10] <barnabas> rm: cannot remove `/var/lib/dpkg/available': Permission denied
[04:10] <bruenig> anddy, sudo apt-get install libncurses5-dev
[04:10] <bruenig> barnabas, sudo rm
[04:10] <der0b> alek66: and you've run sudo vmware and tried it?
[04:11] <ubuntu__> bruenig:  yep it wont work on old syste
[04:11] <ubuntu__> system*
[04:11] <alek66> der0b, yes I wrote that up
[04:11] <der0b> alek66: Just double checking, did you install from the tar installer?
[04:11] <alek66> der0b, yes i did
[04:11] <anddy> Worked.... thansk bruenig
[04:12] <yanger> ubuntu__, it's all checked..
[04:12] <yanger> on both machines
[04:12] <bruenig> anddy, as a general rule build-essential only installs the tools required to compile. Things like libncurses aren't needed to compile, they are dependencies for what you are specifically compiling. You will have to get those yourself
[04:12] <tekkou> Hymn - my drive is a QSI DVD+-RW SDW-082
[04:12] <der0b> alek66: It should be allowing you to enter the serial, have you tried reinstalling?
[04:12] <dabaR> ya...
[04:12] <dabaR> nm
[04:12] <jewbilee> When I try to install using a jar, using the command "java -jar bluej-213.jar" I get an error saying "Failed to load Main-Class"
[04:12] <alek66> der0b, no. i was trying to aboid it
[04:13] <ubuntu__> yanger:  on chk in fstab , if noauto aint there
[04:13] <der0b> alek66: I can't think of another solution..  you might want to see if somebody else can help.  re-installing won't hose your VMs, it's only going to replace the vmware application and re-biuld the kernel mods.  I would go for it
[04:13] <barnabas> how do i make a new file?
[04:14] <ubuntu__> barnabas: new file for?
[04:14] <alek66> der0b, i just re intalled and never ask for the seriak
[04:14] <bruenig> barnabas, won't whatever uses that make a new file when it uses it again?
[04:14] <alek66> seria
[04:14] <yanger> UUID=c6fc52ab-4307-45de-80aa-917b881d8e4c /media/sda1     jfs     defaults        0       2 is what i see
[04:14] <der0b> alek66: then I would ask again and see if anyone else can help you.  sorry.
[04:14] <bruenig> barnabas, if not you can do sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/available and then just save it with nothing in it
[04:15] <alek66> der0b, I cant create a vm i only can connect to a remote one
[04:15] <yanger> i've never seen a fstab like that :| reminds me of solaris
[04:15] <alek66> der0b, I wanted to install mac os x-86 to check it out
[04:15] <FFFOrever> how can i strip audio from some avi files?
[04:15] <yanger> FFFOrever, ffmpeg
[04:15] <ubuntu1> alek66 you can't install Mac os
[04:15] <FFFOrever> want to tell me how with ffmpeg?
[04:16] <ubuntu1> alek66 VMware for WIndows you need to convert it to ISO to work with VMware
[04:16] <der0b> alek66: I think you may have installed the wrong version, sounds like you only installed the remote console
[04:16] <ubuntu__> yanger:  what kinda of fs
[04:16] <yanger> FFFOrever, man ffmpeg :) ffmpeg -i file.avi out.mp3
[04:16] <yanger> ubuntu__, jfs
[04:16] <der0b> alek66: check vmware site and make sure you're downloading the whole vmware server package
[04:17] <barnabas> smart guy
[04:17] <barnabas> seems to be ok now
[04:17] <jewbilee> How do I install BlueJ?
[04:17] <ubuntu__> yanger:  is noauto , there under options?
[04:17] <barnabas> thanks
[04:17] <ubuntu1> alek66 now go to System-Administration-Synaptic
[04:17] <alek66> ubuntu1, ok, i'm there
[04:17] <ubuntu1> alek66 then then you will see vmware
[04:17] <yanger> ubuntu__, i just showed u what i had in fstab, no, no noauto
[04:17] <qwehnce> i installed ubuntu on a 500mhz p3 with 256 ram, once i get past gdm it begins to load nautilus, the screen flashes and kicks back to gdm

[04:18] <qwehnce> voodoo

[04:18] <qwehnce> yanger, voodoo
[04:18] <ubuntu__> jewbilee:  no install needed, just java -jar filename.jar
[04:18] <jewbilee> I get an error when I do that
[04:18] <der0b> alek66: http://download3.vmware.com/software/vmserver/VMware-server-1.0.0-28343.tar.gz would be the right download, not the client.
[04:19] <ubuntu__> jewbilee:  running as root?
[04:19] <jewbilee> Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from bluej-213.jar
[04:19] <yanger> qwehnce, google around, you may need to install voodoo modules?
[04:19] <jewbilee> yea
[04:19] <ubuntu1> alek66 then you can use alien to convert form tar to deb package
[04:19] <bruenig> jewbilee, that could be a problem with whatever you are using
[04:19] <ubuntu__> jewbilee:  do u have java runtime installed?
[04:19] <bruenig> alien converts rpm to deb not tar to deb
[04:19] <jewbilee> ubuntu__: I install the java5 jdk, then went to install the JRE and it was already installed
[04:19] <qwehnce> yanger, i also have an unconfigured pvr-350
[04:19] <yanger> qwehnce, make sure your xorg.conf has the right driver as well

[04:23] <leal> kitche: wii remote driver
[04:23] <xenos76> !FAT32
[04:23] <der0b> alek66: you didn't create VMs with the player, it only plays.  you need to install server

[04:24] <kitche> leal: wmd
[04:25] <bruenig> mzuverink, you could do that but you wouldn't be able to add that repo again because that update would be there constantly, I told you earlier to remove trevinos repo from the sources.list by just deleting it
[04:25] <ubuntu1> !mail
[04:25] <ubuntu__> holycow:  cant dcc from terminal
[04:25] <ubotu> mail is another medium to communicate. Ubuntu mailinglists can be found at http://lists.ubuntu.com

[04:25] <der0b> alek66: what you decribed tells me that you installed the console client for connecting to remote vmware servers.  you need to install the server.  i pasted the link a while ago
[04:25] <ubuntu__> holycow:  can u ftp here?
[04:25] <leal> kitche: i need the bluetooth api to python (python-bluez)
[04:25] <yanger> xenos76, ;\ from console, "man mkdosfs"
[04:25] <holycow> oh totally
[04:25] <wastrel> !msgthebot | ubuntu1
[04:25] <ubotu> ubuntu1: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[04:25] <ubuntu__> holycow:  let me set it up
[04:25] <leal> kitche: or something like that...
[04:25] <bruenig> jewbilee, java -jar bluej-213.jar
[04:25] <xenos76> yanger: thank you
[04:25] <tonyyarusso> ubuntu_, holycow: Don't bother - one sec.
[04:25] <LucianSolaris> what is kaffe-bin?
[04:25] <bruenig> jewbilee, that worked for me
[04:25] <ubuntu1>  !msgthebot | wastrel
[04:25] <ubotu> wastrel: Please investigate with me only in /msg or in #ubuntu-bots (see also !Bot). Abusing the channel bots will only result in angry ops...
[04:25] <alek66> der0b, ok, now i got the picture, I am donwloading that one, I will install it now
[04:25] <tonyyarusso> holycow: http://yarusso.no-ip.org/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz
[04:26] <riyonuk_> Its best to download things from just the repositores right?
[04:26] <kitche> leal: you need to download it seperate probably I'm reading their website
[04:26] <jewbilee> bruenig: how did you install your java?
[04:26] <ubuntu__> holycow:  go for it
[04:26] <xenos76> yanger: xenos@tom-desktop:~$ mkdosfs manpages
[04:26] <xenos76> mkdosfs 2.11 (12 Mar 2005)

[04:26] <xenos76> xenos@tom-desktop:~$
[04:26] <holycow> oh hey danke
[04:26] <cas3> whats the program that automates mounting in gnome, so when I plug in a usb harddrive a folder pops up automaticly?
[04:26] <forbin117> hi room!
[04:26] <bruenig> jewbilee, sudo apt-get install sun-java5-bin sun-java5-jdk
[04:26] <ubuntu1> alek66 in what format is macos
[04:26] <holycow> thanks!
[04:26] <yanger> xenos76, "man mkdosfs"
[04:26] <leal> kitche: i did download the python-bluez, but it depends on python-central...
[04:26] <xenos76> ok thanks
[04:26] <mzuverink> bruenig, the source list is a deb file that creates a sources.list.  So unless I remove the deb from synaptic it keeps adding those repos again.   I understand what you mean, but because of that source list deb, the source list keeps remaking itself
[04:26] <ammiel> bruenig, what was the bootstrapping address again?
[04:26] <jewbilee> bruenig: I have those
[04:27] <alek66> ubuntu1, its the jas 10.4.8 dvd
[04:27] <yanger> xenos76, also google for mkdosfs, they may have examples
[04:27] <leal> kitche: python-central conflicts with ubuntu-help.
[04:27] <bruenig> jewbilee, don't know what to tell you
[04:27] <bruenig> !chroot
[04:27] <ubotu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[04:27] <der0b> alek66: ok, after that you should be all set.  be sure you have build-essential installed as well as linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[04:27] <ammiel> thanks
[04:27] <jewbilee> bruenig: damn..
[04:27] <ubuntu1> alek66 and in the final in what format is the file
[04:27] <riyonuk_> anyone?
[04:27] <leal> kitche: sorry, deb-helper...
[04:27] <bruenig> jewbilee, do you have any other java installed, if so you need to remove that
[04:27] <Flannel> riyonuk_: correct
[04:27] <forbin117> I have some questions about compiling a custom kernel. Is there a specific channel for that, or can I ask here?
[04:27] <jewbilee> bruenig: how do i check?
[04:28] <xenos76> yanger: do you know what im looking for? I'm looking for a program either built into Ubuntu or for Ubuntu, that I can format my laptop drive into FAT32. I know what FAT 32 is.
[04:28] <kitche> leal: ah you have deb-helper installed?
[04:28] <Sunset_newbie> hi everyone

[04:28] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted (also "man mkfs" for formatting) - Mounting partitions in Gnome under Dapper: System -> Administration -> Disks - For Edgy, see !fstab and !DiskMounter

[04:28] <ubotu> forbin117: kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[04:28] <riyonuk_> Alright, now why exactly is this? Is it so we know its a stable version and wont h4x my system?
[04:28] <cas3> !usb
[04:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:28] <TooR4u> !mesa
[04:28] <leal> kitche: i'm trying to remove... the alien package depends on it.
[04:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mesa - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:28] <alek66> ubuntu1, I have an iso burned.... to install
[04:28] <Flannel> jewbilee: or at least update your java choice:  update-java-alternatives -l  to list
[04:28] <forbin117> TY wastrel
[04:28] <cas3> whats the program that automates mounting in gnome, so when I plug in a usb harddrive a folder pops up automaticly?
[04:28] <ubuntu1> alek66 and you will run it from the dvd-rom
[04:29] <tonyyarusso> cas3: pmount?
[04:29] <Flannel> jewbilee: you don't need to remove them though, just adding this (if you're on Dapper) will select Suns java: sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun
[04:29] <cas3> I'll try it tonyyarussa
[04:29] <Sunset_newbie> i have a linksys wpc54g question
[04:29] <alek66> ubuntu1, yes... How do I unistall the previous vmware server
[04:29] <ubuntu1> go to Synaptic
[04:29] <ubuntu1> and write the problem
[04:29] <ubuntu__> holycow:  did u get it?
[04:29] <bruenig> mzuverink, bad idea to have your sources.list made by a deb if it creates this kind of problem
[04:30] <jewbilee> bruenig: shoot me
[04:30] <ubuntu1> http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/
[04:30] <cas3> tonyyarusso I already have that installed, but no folder pops up when I plug an external drive into the usb
[04:30] <xenos76> yanger: do you know what im looking for? I'm looking for a program either built into Ubuntu or for Ubuntu, that I can format my laptop drive into FAT32. I know what FAT 32 is.
[04:30] <ubuntu1> alek66 see in this page
[04:30] <jewbilee> bruenig: i was in the wrong directory
[04:30] <ubuntu1> http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/
[04:30] <jewbilee> bruenig: make it slow and painful, please
[04:30] <holycow> ubuntu__, yessir
[04:30] <holycow> thank you :)
[04:30] <kitche> xenos76: mkdosfs
[04:30] <mzuverink> bruenig, yeah, hindsight is a wonderful thing.  Meanwhile what do I do?
[04:30] <leal> kitche: do you know a repo where i can find the python-bluez for dapper??
[04:30] <ubuntu__> holycow:  ok
[04:30] <yanger> xenos76, that command will format your laptop
[04:30] <der0b> alek66: since you installed via the tar binary, you will probably have to run sudo vmware-uninstall-server-console.pl
[04:30] <xenos76> oh ok
[04:30] <bruenig> mzuverink, well remove the deb that created your sources.list go to source-o-matic and get one and go from there
[04:31] <xenos76> yanger: thanks, i missundrstood
[04:31] <bruenig> !easysource
[04:31] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[04:31] <Flannel> leal: universe
[04:31] <tonyyarusso> cas3: is it mounting and just not popping up, or not mounting?  Can you manually mount, or does it not recognize?
[04:31] <tekkou> Looking for help... trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop, but the installer has problems identifying my DVD drive
[04:31] <yanger> xenos76, but u should use a livecd then like slax or knoppix to do that stuff then - although ubuntu's cd could do it too i think..
[04:31] <jewbilee> How do I move a folder and all its contents to another folder?
[04:31] <alek66> der0b,  i did and still tells me that i have it
[04:31] <sivik> what is the difference between ps aux and ps x
[04:31] <ubuntu__> jewbilee:  !mc
[04:31] <Flannel> leal: oh, sorry.  Only in edgy.  Well, you could download the source deb, and compile.  You also might try backports, but I imagine it wouldn't be in there
[04:31] <jewbilee> !mc
[04:31] <ubotu> mc: midnight commander - a powerful file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 1:4.6.1-5 (edgy), package size 2057 kB, installed size 5944 kB
[04:31] <cas3> it doesn't recognize it, no mount
[04:31] <hustler1> how can I list what services are running?
[04:32] <grompf> Hey,has anyone got lm-sensors working normally on Edgy?
[04:32] <xenos76> yanger: well, i have it on an external hard drive so I dont think it will matter.
[04:32] <sivik> hustler1, like chkconfig in redhat right
[04:32] <jewbilee> Im just looking for the shell command..
[04:32] <tonyyarusso> sivik: see 'man ps'
[04:32] <mzuverink> bruenig, thats the problem, it wont let me reemove that deb without updating other stuff.  when the other stuff fails it stops, not removing the deb I asked it to remove in the first place.
[04:32] <ubuntu__> jewbilee:  use mc to move ok
[04:32] <hustler1> in debian
[04:32] <sivik> tonyyarusso, already read it, can't figure out what the different is
[04:32] <yanger> xenos76, you're formatting a external drive you ment?
[04:32] <tonyyarusso> cas3: hrm, that's no good.  Nothing in /dev for it at all?
[04:32] <sivik> hustler1, yeah, i have been trying to find a program that will do it for a long time
[04:32] <bad_cables> is anyone in here a PPC genius?
[04:32] <kitche> leal: not really
[04:32] <yanger> xenos76, ah, ok then.
[04:32] <ubuntu__> jewbilee:  mc will run from console
[04:32] <xenos76> yanger: yeah, its an external laptop drive.
[04:32] <ubuntu1> alek66 did you try it
[04:33] <tekkou> Looking for help... trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop, but the installer has problems identifying my DVD drive
[04:33] <bruenig> mzuverink, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list, hash out the offending repo
[04:33] <yanger> just remember that there's limitations to the size i think
[04:33] <kitche> Flannel: python-bluez isn't in dapper it seems
[04:33] <leal> flannel: any tips? where can i find that source package? what the procedure?
[04:33] <cas3> tonyyarusso: where would the usb stuff be in /dev/
[04:33] <xenos76> yanger: yes, i know its like 120 GB or something like that.
[04:33] <alek66> ubuntu1, der0b BRB
[04:33] <xenos76> yanger: im formating a 40GB drive.
[04:33] <yanger> xenos76, :)
[04:33] <ubuntu__> well i'm off
[04:33] <yanger> enjoy
[04:33] <ubuntu__> cya guys
[04:33] <mzuverink> bruenig, done that, it somehow comes back every time.  Done it through gedit and synaptic
[04:33] <bad_cables> iBook G3 500 with an ATI 128 8mb 2X agp... anyone know how to make the monitor out work with m3mirror??
[04:34] <xenos76> yanger: thank you.
[04:34] <yanger> ubuntu__, eh it worked
[04:34] <cas3> it does show up with a lsusb
[04:34] <ubuntu__> bruenig:  thanks once again
[04:34] <yanger> ubuntu__, after a reboot oddly
[04:34] <ubuntu__> yanger:  lol
[04:34] <ubuntu1> alek66 ok
[04:34] <yanger> but i had to flip the toggle on and off to make it work, weird
[04:35] <tekkou> Looking for help... trying to install Ubuntu on my laptop, but the installer has problems identifying my DVD drive... is there any way to install?
[04:35] <SurfnKid> hi all I seem to have compiled something
[04:35] <SurfnKid> and its gone wrong
[04:35] <SurfnKid> how can i revert it?
[04:35] <tonyyarusso> cas3: /dev/sd? most likely
[04:35] <grompf> Hey,has anyone got lm-sensors working normally on Edgy?
[04:35] <bruenig> mzuverink, don't see why that would happen. Try sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup and then run it again so that you will have no repos
[04:35] <leal> libbluetooth2 on dapper???
[04:35] <ubuntu1> alke66 http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/appliances/directory/648
[04:35] <SurfnKid> hey bruenig
[04:36] <cas3> tonyyarussa: I don't have that folder
[04:36] <bad_cables> are there any mac users in here?
[04:36] <bruenig> hey SurfnKid
[04:36] <SurfnKid> question...
[04:36] <SurfnKid> u familiar with moc?
[04:36] <ubuntu1> alek66 this is the manual http://www.thoughtpolice.co.uk/vmware/howto/ubuntu-server-6.10-edgy-eft-vmware-tools-install.html
[04:36] <dabaR> sup with the epiphany in edgy....
[04:37] <qwehnce> yanger, after reading the xorg.conf and the var/log/Xorg.0, i found and removed all of the wacom input devices from the xorg.conf
[04:37] <bruenig> never heard of moc
[04:37] <tonyyarusso> cas3: File, not folder
[04:37] <riyonuk_> Where can I get limewire or frostwire in the repos?
[04:37] <cas3> well no file
[04:37] <cas3> either
[04:37] <bad_cables> mac?
[04:37] <bad_cables> or moc
[04:37] <bruenig> riyonuk_, frostwire is not in the repos
[04:37] <qwehnce> yanger, it booted and i was able to open a file manager, but it then failed when the background was drawn to the screen
[04:37] <bruenig> riyonuk_, neither is limewire
[04:38] <sivik> what utility would i use in order to set up conditional branching in a script?
[04:38] <bruenig> gtk-gnutella is
[04:38] <riyonuk_> how do I get it then?
[04:38] <bruenig> riyonuk_, from their site
[04:38] <SurfnKid> music on console, its an mp3, playlist player, anyway, this probably applies to all software. I had a version installed, nicely working, but the playlist gave me some issues and I thought well I'll install a newer version see if it fixed any bugs, so I compiled (for the first time) and now I get an error.  I just really want to get rid of everything that I did
[04:39] <qwehnce> yanger, the only error in the var/log was "error opening security policy file /usr/lib/xserve/SecurityPolicy"
[04:39] <bruenig> riyonuk_, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=278134
[04:39] <saviles> i can't seem to get to this specific website (ruizbelvis.org). It works on my other computer which run winxp w/out any issues. I can ping it and it resolves to the correct IP. comparing traceroutes with my winxp system, they are identical, except that on my xubuntu system, it gets a 'no reply' after hop 16. trying telnet on port 80 doesn't work, nor does using wget work either. any suggestions?
[04:40] <yanger> qwehnce, u are using the voodoo driver, right?
[04:40] <qwehnce> yanger, yes it properly detected my drivers
[04:40] <saviles> getting to other websites aren't a problem.
[04:40] <bad_cables> looking for help with a linux mac is like looking for a hooker with manners
[04:40] <yanger> qwehnce, not sure then. google around for xorg voodoo
[04:40] <sivik> saviles, i'm not having a problem getting there
[04:41] <saviles> that's the thing.. i know the site is up and running. but i can't seem to get into it using my xubuntu system.
[04:42] <qwehnce> yanger, could the problem be my voodoo card doesnt support dri which glx needs
[04:42] <saviles> i've restarted it, removed it from the router's dhcp (so it'll get another IP).. nothing's helped.
[04:42] <VoX> qwehnce: er
[04:42] <sivik> saviles, i'm not having a problem getting to it
[04:42] <qwehnce> yanger, if so, is there an easy way to uninstall xgl
[04:42] <VoX> qwehnce: voodoo uses 3dfx, not openGL
[04:43] <sivik> what utility would i use to in order to set up a conditional branching in a script?
[04:43] <zcat[1] > saviles: you have a live chicken and a sharp knife handy?
[04:43] <yanger> qwehnce, u could comment DRI out.. ask in #xorg
[04:43] <qwehnce> VoX, the default installation added all of this glx mess to my xorg
[04:43] <saviles> sivik: okay, what do you think it making it so that i'm not able to access it?
[04:43] <VoX> heh
[04:43] <sivik> saviles, not sure, you having problems getting anywhere else
[04:43] <zcat[1] > saviles: bad magic...
[04:43] <saviles> zcat[1] : i have a sharp knife.. no "live" chicken. :(
[04:44] <sivik> saviles, there may be a problem with a router between you and it and its not letting you get there, like its getting hung and its timing out
[04:44] <saviles> sivik: nope.. none whatsoever... google.com, yahoo.com any any other website comes up fine.
[04:44] <zcat[1] > Could be an issue with path mtu discovery I guess...
[04:44] <sri_> where can i find mesa packages?
[04:44] <saviles> sivik: i would think so to.. but my other winxp system is on the same router and accesses it w/out any issues.
[04:45] <sivik> saviles, that matters not
[04:45] <saviles> zcat[1] : where/whats mtu discovery?
[04:45] <Sunset_newbie> looking for help

[05:01] <DARKGuy> theflyingfool: you need to set up samba and share the folders, also, to have all the computers in the same workgroup or domain
[05:01] <ubuntu1> smartman don't worry man
[05:01] <ubuntu1> quatro go14000 from what year is this card
[05:01] <theflyingfool> DARKGuy: i can see the computer, but it askes for a usr name and pw
[05:01] <thinh> its from 2005
[05:01] <DARKGuy> theflyingfool: you need to configure samba then
[05:02] <theflyingfool> DARKGuy: and i did the shared folders under administration, shouldnt that set it up for me
[05:02] <ubuntu1> thinh what is the mark of the video card man
[05:02] <DARKGuy> theflyingfool: yes, but it will ask for user and pass
[05:02] <thinh> what u mean
[05:02] <theflyingfool> DARKGuy: how do i get it 2 not ask for a user name and pass
[05:02] <DARKGuy> theflyingfool: if you want to allow access without authentication, you'd have to edit a config file :p
[05:02] <thinh> its an nvidia
[05:02] <ubuntu1> thinh is it nvidia
[05:02] <thinh> yeah
[05:03] <DARKGuy> theflyingfool: go to a terminal and type "gksudo gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf"

[05:03] <ubuntu1> thinh http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=302540
[05:03] <DARKGuy> theflyingfool: Okay, use the search function and type "security ="
[05:04] <DARKGuy> theflyingfool: a line should come up with something like "; security = user"
[05:04] <theflyingfool> DARKGuy:  thats what it says
[05:04] <saviles> thinh: have you ever been here? http://www.linux-on-laptops.com/dell.html
[05:04] <thinh> okey cool thanks
[05:05] <DARKGuy> theflyingfool: the first occurrence is with a # on the line start, don't edit that one but the one before the #'s, which says "; security = user" change it to "security = share" and remove the ";" at the start
[05:05] <DARKGuy> theflyingfool: *before=after
[05:05] <theflyingfool> DARKGuy: do i need to restart samba or anything now
[05:06] <DARKGuy> theflyingfool: yes, save the file and in the same terminal type "sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart" and voil
[05:06] <theflyingfool> DARKGuy: this is probably a dumb question but what is swat
[05:06] <thinh> there is no ubuntu
[05:06] <DARKGuy> theflyingfool: I've never used it, but it's for managing samba using a web interface
[05:06] <ubuntu1> thinh where
[05:07] <DARKGuy> !swat
[05:07] <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
[05:07] <DARKGuy> yeah, that.
[05:07] <underdog5004> Hello, everyone. I'm having trouble getting rtorrent to run automatically on a headless server that I ssh into. I want rtorrent to run on start up. I've already got symlinks from a .sh script that I wrote to rc2.d (link from /etc/init.d/rtorrent /etc/rc2.d/S99rtorrent). I've chmod +x'd the script, and run it manually, which works. It just won't run on start up...
[05:07] <theflyingfool> after i instal swat, how do i use it
[05:07] <DARKGuy> theflyingfool: I don't know since I've never used it :( you could follow the two links that ubotu mentioned though
[05:08] <thinh> the thread is for ati graphics
[05:08] <delire> i recently wrote some 3D network visualisation software packaged for Ubuntu. i quickly need a volunteer (all source code greppable) to test the package for me to ensure a graphical glitch has been resolved. anyone game?
[05:08] <theflyingfool> DARKGuy: ok thanks
[05:08] <DARKGuy> Maybe someone else here does :P

[05:11] <delire> miniman: it's a tricky area. you might try xvidcap
[05:12] <delire> miniman: but really, software of this kind is only good if you are fine with low frame rate capture.
[05:12] <miniman> delire: is xvidcap in any ubuntu repositories?
[05:12] <underdog5004> delire, do I need a good graphics card + drivers or what?
[05:12] <Giant_sea_turtle> so i have to cheak the restricted packages to get the tools to install the drivers for my video card?
[05:13] <delire> miniman: apt-cache search xvidcap
[05:13] <arrenlex> miniman: No it isn't, and it's not very good. You might try istanbul, which is, and is somewhat better.
[05:13] <DARKGuy> Hm, how then, those guys make those beryl videos on the net? they're surely not using fraps... :P
[05:13] <arrenlex> !istanbul | miniman

[05:21] <delire> arrenlex: glxinfo | grep direct
[05:21] <arrenlex> delire: No, I don't. If I did, I would have Mesa GLX indirect.
[05:22] <arrenlex> delire: The opensource driver doesn't support Point.SmoothFlag, though, it seems, so it fell back to software rendering.
[05:22] <arrenlex> delire: I know how to check what my renderer is ;) I have guided many others though it many at ime.

[05:22] <delire> arrenlex: you're right.. i was looking at the last lines thrown. hmm
[05:23] <delire> arrenlex: ok, well i'll check of a system of your configuration of the "known to run" list ;)
[05:23] <delire> arrenlex: thanks alot for trying this.
[05:23] <saviles> sivik: i fixed the issue, although i'm not sure why that would be the problem.
[05:24] <theflyingfool> maybe im stupid but the instructions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently dont work for me
[05:24] <arrenlex> delire: you're welcome. Sorry it didn't work.
[05:24] <sivik> saviles: not sure
[05:24] <saviles> sivik: i turned off my router and switch and restarted them.
[05:24] <saviles> that seemed to have worked.

[05:24] <delire> arrenlex: no problem. i use the proprietary drivers as i do alot of work with hardware shaders. i'm very out of touch, sadly, with the open drivers.

[05:26] <chiarato> hi, I mess up really bad I can't start my linux i was trying to config the video card now nothing appears when linux loads just the log in and than nothing can someone please help me?
[05:26] <Giant_sea_turtle> wes_1977 i just installed ubuntu on a sata drive tonite, did you format the drive?
[05:27] <arrenlex> theflyingfool: Oh! You're trying to mount network shares. Sorry, I misunderstood. Nevermind.
[05:27] <wes_1977> yes. I created 4 partitions (/boot, /, /home, and swap)
[05:27] <Giant_sea_turtle> wes
[05:27] <Giant_sea_turtle> try again but this time just auromaticly let it make the partitions..
[05:28] <wes_1977> ok
[05:28] <theflyingfool> i keep getting wrong filesystem, after following the tutorial
[05:28] <chiarato> Im a noob on linux I need some help please?
[05:28] <Giant_sea_turtle> i thinks its manually format both drives or somthing ..
[05:28] <delire> arrenlex: they certainly have been in the past. lately they have been very stable and performant on my machines. i realise this is far from being a rule.
[05:29] <arrenlex> delire: Really? Have they been upgraded since I last saw them?
[05:29] <arrenlex> delire: Regardless, I like to keep a blobware-free system :) I don't need 3D acceleration at all anyway.
[05:29] <xerophyte> how can i find out the reverse dns stuff .. i mean if i have domain how can i find out which domain its point to ??
[05:29] <chiarato> hi, I mess up really bad I can't start my linux i was trying to config the video card now nothing appears when linux loads just the log in and than nothing can someone please help me?

[05:30] <chiarato> I have a Ati x300
[05:30] <delire> arrenlex: yes, i would far prefer a blobless system.
[05:31] <arrenlex> delire: 8.28.8 sounds oddly familiar. I'm pretty sure that's what didn't work for me. WHat card?
[05:31] <Giant_sea_turtle> chiarato: when you installed the drivers you dident do it correctly :P

[05:31] <delire> arrenlex: right, that's a problem card on the proprietary drivers.
[05:31] <chiarato> if i could go back in time how do i let linux find all my configuration automatically
[05:32] <Giant_sea_turtle> chiarato: there is a command that dose that lets see if i can remember...
[05:33] <chiarato> Giant_sea_turtle: thanks for helping bro'
[05:33] <chiarato> right now i'm on safe mode!
[05:33] <Brady_1> chiarato: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg it will walk you through the steps to reconfig your card
[05:33] <chiarato> that's what i did
[05:34] <Brady_1> select vesa to get up back and running
[05:34] <chiarato> followed every direction but it does not star!
[05:34] <chiarato> and it was working fine!
[05:35] <delire> chiarato: select the graphics driver 'vesa' when you dpkg-reconfigure it this time as Brady_1 suggests. it won't fix itself magically ;)
[05:37] <jamesbrink> help i just installed ubuntu and i cant find ms office
[05:37] <jamesbrink> nvm
[05:37] <delire> harhar
[05:38] <Giant_sea_turtle> i think its xorg -configure, theres a more specific command that resets the settings but i forget
[05:38] <chiarato> what do choose for monitor auto detection?
[05:39] <Giant_sea_turtle> yeah
[05:39] <themightyshawn> I'm trying to enable ports 6500-6600 in ubuntu server, how do I go about this?
[05:40] <chiarato> my monitor is a 17inch gateway just leave *genetic monitor or change that"
[05:40] <Giant_sea_turtle> good luck with that im resetting to see if my drivers work :P
[05:40] <bulmer> themightyshawn: you have services running on those ports?
[05:41] <themightyshawn> one of them in there...can't remember which one.
[05:41] <themightyshawn> just gonna open a range for now until I track down which port
[05:41] <Giant_sea_turtle> yeah that should work, but then you will have to re-install your drivers the proper way after you restart x
[05:41] <chiarato> Giant_sea_turtle: which one?
[05:42] <themightyshawn> bulmer, might as well open all of them actually, this server is behind another firewall
[05:42] <Giant_sea_turtle> the one that messed you up in the first place right?
[05:42] <bulmer> themightyshawn: use netstat
[05:42] <bulmer> themightyshawn: what are you trying to accomplish?
[05:42] <themightyshawn> bulmer, I'm trying to get mythtv-backend to run
[05:43] <bulmer> themightyshawn: which machine is running which? and which one has the firewall?
[05:44] <chiarato> I'm going to restart to see what happens
[05:44] <themightyshawn> it's running on my ubuntu 6.10 server edition box -- well trying to run -- and my linksys router has its firewall up
[05:45] <aSt3raL_> how do i get rid of zombie xmms processes and what are they?
[05:45] <bulmer> themightyshawn: can you elaborate as to what you have in your network? hard to assist when am guessing what you got
[05:45] <saviles> sivik: thanks for all your help. have a good one
[05:46] <Giant_sea_turtle> chiarato: what you change your xorg.conf file it useually saves the one you previously changed in the same folder
[05:46] <rob_p> themightyshawn: Ubuntu does not have a firewall defined by default.  So, unless you configured one, you shouldn't have to unblock any ports.
[05:47] <Giant_sea_turtle> chiarato: /ect/x11/
[05:47] <DarthShrine> How does one obtain sound in Wine?
[05:47] <thinh> anyone good with xorg?
[05:47] <chiarato> thanks man I got it working but how do i use the video card if linux crash?
[05:48] <themightyshawn> I have a total of 6 computers in a star configuration around a linksys router. the computer I'm having issues with I just installed Ubuntu Server on and am trying to get mythtv-backend service to run. it runs as my user, as root, and when I do sudo -u mythtv mythbackend it runs, but when I run the script in init.d it gives me an authentication failed error. Ive tried anything I could think of, then I remembered on the ubuntu pag
[05:48] <themightyshawn> e it said that ubuntu server has all ports diabled by default, so I thought ah-ha! that might be it...I just don't know what else to look for
[05:48] <thinh> i need my laptop to use dvi when i dock it
[05:48] <themightyshawn> I installed ubuntu server so this computer wouldn't be bogged down with a gui
[05:48] <Giant_sea_turtle> chiarato: you have to find the right instructions for making it work, installing, you have to get the right files
[05:49] <chiarato> my bery is not working anymore :(
[05:49] <chiarato> beryl
[05:49] <Giant_sea_turtle> lol brb?
[05:50] <bulmer> themightyshawn: you can isolate your server and just focused on getting connected to it from a client.
[05:50] <jarrod06> hi, im trying to start a vpn connection but its not working, does anyone here have knowledge of this area?
[05:50] <bulmer> themightyshawn: you have switches or hubs between your router and the client pc's?
[05:50] <themightyshawn> switch
[05:51] <themightyshawn> but I can't even get the service started, let alone think about connecting client pcs to it
[05:51] <chiarato> when i minimize my window they disappear what should I do?
[05:51] <bulmer> themightyshawn: are you logged on to your server?
[05:51] <themightyshawn> I'm chatting with you on it.
[05:51] <thinh> dual link mean?
[05:52] <thinh> for dvi?
[05:52] <bulmer> themightyshawn: try netstat -rn and it should show the ports you are using on your server
[05:53] <theflyingfool> i have an odd problem, i got my network share to mount, i forgot to install smbfs... but its mounting twice on my desktop and i only want it 2 mount once
[05:53] <bulmer> netstat only not netstat -rn
[05:53] <jarrod06> anyone know how to set up a vpn client
[05:53] <thinh> how can u have ubuntu autodetect what screen u are using?
[05:53] <tim167> how can I print from the terminal (something like cat somefile.txt > printer ? )
[05:53] <themightyshawn> bulmer, it shows me my ip routing table
[05:53] <Giant_sea_turtle> i think i got my vido drivers working..

[05:59] <holycow> thats all you need to do
[06:00] <trgl> hello can someone help me install Ubuntu

[06:00] <tim167> print from terminal to printer ?? help! thanks :)
[06:00] <levander> On my Ubuntu box, I'm trying to connect to a printer on the network which is connected to an XP box.  When trying to connect to this printer using the "New Printer" wizard under Ubuntu I am asked for a password to connect to the machine the printer is attached to.  However, when I do the "New Printer" box on a completely different XP machine on the network, I am not asked for a password.  Why does the Ubuntu box ask me for a password?
[06:00] <trgl> When I boot install iso of Ubuntu
[06:00] <theflyingfool> other then gksu nautilus is there a way to open the file browser with full right privlages
[06:00] <Gunslinger|Deags> hey could someone walk me through an install of xubuntu off of the ubuntu minimal cd last time i was in here i was told it could be done
[06:01] <trgl> I cant see anything when I boot the iso
[06:01] <saturn_> Theflyingfool, can you help me?
[06:01] <trgl> Please help
[06:01] <chiarato> I have a xorg.conf.old which is my back up how do use that instead of the on i'm using now?
[06:01] <theflyingfool> saturn_:  i havnt been paying much attention to the chat what is your problem
[06:01] <levander> Gunslinger|Deags: you probably install the minimal system, then point at the online repositories and "apt-get install xubuntu-desktop"
[06:01] <trgl> Xp newbie please help :(
[06:02] <levander> Gunslinger|Deags: you could look and see if xubuntu-desktop is on the CD
[06:02] <tim167> trgl: maybe your video card isnt correctly configured, can you see some kind of text interface ?
[06:02] <Gunslinger|Deags> its not
[06:02] <Gunslinger|Deags> they told me to install the "server" option
[06:02] <trgl> yes
[06:02] <Gunslinger|Deags> so i did that
[06:02] <thinh> anyone know the code to activate dvi port?
[06:02] <trgl> its fine
[06:02] <levander> Gunslinger|Deags: then install the minimal system, then "sudo aptitude xubuntu-desktop" - aptitude is better than apt-get
[06:02] <saturn_> SOMEONE HELP ME PLEASE!!!
[06:02] <Gunslinger|Deags> but now i am all stuck at this text thing
[06:02] <trgl> until it gets to the desktop
[06:02] <fokuslee> hey im trying to learn some basic shell scripting im stuck on one part does anyone have time to help me its very short : )
[06:03] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok
[06:03] <trgl> then all the icon and dead black pixel overlapping window
[06:03] <Gunslinger|Deags> one sec
[06:03] <levander> Gunslinger|Deags: what is this next thing?
[06:03] <Gunslinger|Deags> let me try that
[06:03] <trgl> So I can't see anything , let alone install
[06:03] <saturn_> :(
[06:03] <levander> Gunslinger|Deags: is /etc/apt/sources.list pointing at the CD or at the online repositories?
[06:03] <arrenlex> levander: Why exactly is aptitude better than apt-get? xD
[06:03] <tim167> trgl: what machine (hardware) ?
[06:03] <tonyyarusso> arrenlex: Better handling of dependencies on removal
[06:03] <levander> arrenlex: all i know if aptitude does orphan tracking
[06:03] <Giant_sea_turtle> chiarato: you can copy and past the old one using gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf in the terminal (for now anyways)
[06:03] <Taime> so, is THIS the official ubuntu channel or is it the one in freenode?
[06:04] <trgl> Please guy help me
[06:04] <tonyyarusso> Taime: You're on freenode
[06:04] <theflyingfool> Taime: they are one in the same
[06:04] <arrenlex> levander, tonyyaruso: is apt-get's autoremove feature not equivalent to what aptitude does?
[06:04] <Taime> i see
[06:04] <Giant_sea_turtle> chiarato: also the old one could be the messed up one :P
[06:04] <Taime> fi guess irc servers can host any channel?
[06:04] <tonyyarusso> arrenlex: I'm not sure - I don't think it existed when I switched ;)
[06:04] <levander> arrenlex: orphan tracking is where if a package gets installed as a dependency of another package, which is later removed, if that dependency is not yet being used by yet another package, the dependent package is remove
[06:04] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok levander it sis something then gave me a list of -(letters) and wants me to input something
[06:04] <trgl> Why is my install screen full of black pixel and overlapping windows?
[06:05] <arrenlex> levander: I know that, thanks. (22:04:14) arrenlex: levander, tonyyaruso: is apt-get's autoremove feature not equivalent to what aptitude does?
[06:05] <trgl> How can I fic this? Please help I really wanna try Ubuntu
[06:05] <levander> arrenlex: I don't think it is the same, because everyone's told me to use aptitude and that the first thing they say, orphan tracking, I could be wrong
[06:05] <tim167> trgl: I'm not sure what you mean by overlapping windows...
[06:05] <levander> Gunslinger|Deags: paste this "list of letters"
[06:05] <illusina> What is the best linux pro-audio type channel on freenode?
[06:05] <Gunslinger|Deags> how am i suposed to do that
[06:05] <Gunslinger|Deags> its on another system
[06:05] <arrenlex> levander: Was that a while ago? autoremove is fairly recent, and ubuntu-only: debian doesn't include it.
[06:05] <Gunslinger|Deags> theres a huge list
[06:05] <tim167> trgl: just guessing here, but you could try this:
[06:06] <saturn_> Theflyingfool please join #driver channel, i'll write my problem
[06:06] <trgl> Think of really slow computer running 100%pc usage on vista
[06:06] <trgl> except worse
[06:06] <levander> arrenlex: i think it's been a month last time i heard that, i could be wrong...
[06:06] <morph_> hello can someone help me? im not running ubuntu, but dreamlinux... im wondering if its possible to run beryl while testing this off a live cd
[06:06] <tim167> trgl: do ctrl+alt+F1
[06:06] <tonyyarusso> trgl: It could be that you have a graphics/monitor configuration unsupported by the Desktop CD.  That one is limited in capability, due mainly to disk size constraints.  An installation via the !alternate CD can handle a much wider variety of setups, so may be worth considering.
[06:06] <morph_> im a ubuntu user and just wanted to see what dream linux had to offer
[06:06] <crav> holycow: took a while to do, but it was nice and easy, thanks a lot
[06:06] <trgl> I had the same problem when I first install Suse
[06:06] <tim167> trgl: so that you reach a terminal window
[06:07] <tonyyarusso> morph_: you might check out Kororaa, a live cd with XGL and compiz, if not.
[06:07] <trgl> yes I reach the desktop of ubuntu
[06:07] <morph_> kororaa? is it another distro?
[06:07] <tonyyarusso> morph_: yes
[06:07] <trgl> But its all mess up I can barely see the install Icon
[06:07] <trgl> I can't see the pointer either
[06:07] <tonyyarusso> morph_: Just for showcasing the gooey windows stuff.
[06:07] <tim167> trgl: then type exactly this: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" (without te quotes) and do enter
[06:08] <trgl> so do I do alt+ctlr+f1 and type it in?
[06:08] <Gunslinger|Deags> does anyone know how to properly get xubuntu using sudo and have it install?
[06:08] <morph_> thanks tonyyarusso
[06:09] <mzanfardino> quick question: what is the cli command to determine free space on a disk?
[06:09] <thinh> is okey to not to have any busid in device section of xorg?
[06:09] <rob_p> df -h
[06:09] <mzanfardino> rob_p: thank you
[06:09] <rob_p> welcome
[06:10] <n2diy_> mzanfardino: df -h
[06:10] <mzanfardino> n2diy_: sadly, a little slow.. :)
[06:10] <n2diy_> mzanfardino: ?
[06:11] <mzanfardino> n2diy_: rob_p answered first! :)
[06:11] <Gunslinger|Deags> does anyone know hwo to use sudo to get xubuntu i installed the "server" option of the minimal cd and i am trying to convert it to xubuntu
[06:11] <n2diy_> mzanfardino: :/
[06:11] <arrenlex> Gunslinger|Deags: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[06:11] <Gunslinger|Deags> ok
[06:12] <n2diy_> mzanfardino: if you want to be a geek, then just df. :)
[06:13] <tim167> trgl: yes, but I remember now that's when you would have got an error message from X, maybe try to install from the ubuntu Alternate install CD, that worked for me on several pc with similar problem as yours
[06:14] <black_13> does ubuntu have dev-c++?
[06:15] <Gunslinger|Deags> arrenlex that will make the install just as if i were to install it off the xubuntu cd correct?
[06:17] <mzanfardino> TheDebugger
[06:17] <arrenlex> Gunslinger|Deags: Yes.
[06:17] <cas3> I cant get my usb to work, dmesg gives me this: hub 1-0:1.0: over-current change on port 1

[06:18] <trgl> Guys please help me install this ubuntu. I been staying up for three days trying to get this to work.
[06:18] <mzanfardino> trgl: what are you wanting to do?
[06:18] <arrenlex> !ask | trgl
[06:18] <ubotu> trgl: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[06:18] <trgl> I got to the command prompt line but I don't knwo what to do
[06:18] <mamboadm> how do i set root password?
[06:18] <mzanfardino> trgl: are you interested in installing the desktop?
[06:19] <trgl> Yes
[06:19] <arrenlex> trgl: Gnome? KDE? xfce?
[06:19] <cas3> how do I get my usb to work?
[06:19] <mzanfardino> trgl: start with "apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[06:19] <trgl> Im using Window
[06:19] <trgl> right now
[06:19] <mzanfardino> trgl: if you want the gnome desktop
[06:19] <theflyingfool_> i am starting to hate networks
[06:19] <mzanfardino> trgl: so you are at the windows command prompt?
[06:19] <Fear_of_C> I'm running 6.10 AMD64 on an Asus A8JS, and the sound keeps randomly not working
[06:19] <black_13> arrenlex not g++ but the ide http://www.bloodshed.net/devcpp.html
[06:19] <riotkittie> i am starting to hate my inability to do anything cool
[06:19] <Giant_sea_turtle> my card has no acceleration support dammit i suck :(
[06:19] <protocol1> is there a way to reactivate my linux partition after installing winxp on a seperate one?
[06:20] <arrenlex> Giant_sea_turtle: What card?
[06:20] <Fear_of_C> it works again when I reboot, then fails for seemingly no reason

[06:21] <arrenlex> black_13: Looks like a Windows app.
[06:21] <cas3> !usb
[06:21] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about usb - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:21] <black_13> yeah it does
[06:21] <arrenlex> black_13: So use a Linux IDE.
[06:21] <mzanfardino> trgl: what is your ultimate goal?  Do you want to replace windows with linux, run it as a virtual machine under windows, or create a new linux installion and dual-boot?
[06:21] <black_13> arrenlex i am just curious
[06:21] <riotkittie> ok really stupid question time.
[06:22] <arrenlex> riotkittie: The answer is, in fact, 42.
[06:22] <riotkittie> if i can ssh into my laptop from my laptop, it stands to reason that my ssh server is working, yes? :P
[06:22] <mzanfardino> riotkittie: that would stand to reason, yes
[06:23] <MAKAVELI9> hey

[06:23] <black_13> so far im using anjuta but i cant seem to figure out how set the font size and some ofther features of anjuta
[06:23] <blanky> is there a way to 'transcode' (?) mp4 to avi?

[06:25] <mzanfardino> blanky: pardon me, I ment to denegrate the poor support...
[06:25] <trgl> What be the best way to learn C+++ and C#
[06:25] <trgl> Linux or window?
[06:25] <blanky> I thought gentoo people were pretty nice
[06:25] <mzanfardino> trgl: you are on a linux irc channel, what do you think?
[06:25] <blanky> trgl: it doesn't matter! but in linux you'll have more exposure
[06:25] <tim167> trgl: but i think you'd have more chances of succes using the ubuntu Alternate install ISO
[06:25] <trgl> How long does it take
[06:25] <fokuslee> blanky i asked someone to explain a small thing in scripting he gave me a fork bomb instead
[06:25] <blanky> and it might be easier to build things
[06:25] <riotkittie> mzanfardino:  heh. i dont really /use/ it ... but having neither a burner nor independant external storage of some sort, i cant completely leave it alone.  i have to back all of my stuff up there. and it houses 97% of my mp3s :P
[06:25] <blanky> fokuslee: wow
[06:26] <arrenlex> fokuslee: Aw, what a nice fellow. :)
[06:26] <fokuslee> well his kinda enuff to warn me not to exec haha
[06:26] <trgl> How long would it take a person to learn C# and C+++ ? Years or months?
