[08:38] <Uggggg> I just got my scanner working... does anyone here know how to make it higher than 8-bit color?
[08:38] <thread> Why am I having like zero luck trying to get this 20" lcd run at its native 1680x1050? This is the nvidia driver, and I've got the sync ranges specified correctly and tried all sorts of combinations of the edid ignoring directives.
[08:38] <oo7> LordLimecat, i got confused between you and K3nto  :)  no worries
[08:38] <thread> it just says "No valid modes for "1680x1050"; removing."
[08:38] <LordLimecat> lol
[08:38] <TheVault> installed over 90+
[08:38] <kendrick> i'm having a hell of a time finding a solution for this. i'm running kubuntu 6.10 with KDE 3.5.6, Xorg 7.1.1 and Linux kernel 2.6.17 on an AMD sempron with an Nvidia GeForce FX5200.  when KDE's screensaver comes on and I leave it for a while, I come back and Xorg is taking 100% of my CPU and X becomes unusable. mouse moves, but if I dare click or type, things stop. usually kill with Alt+SysReq+K.
[08:39] <thread> and the highest I can get it to go is 1280x1024
[08:39] <oo7> thread, you need ModeLines
[08:39] <will> If X chrashes all I have to do is restart my computer, right?
[08:39] <LordLimecat> thread--is it possible its an issue with refresh rate? like an invalid refresh assiociated with that rez?
[08:39] <oo7> thread, by any chance is it the dell fpw 2005?
[08:39] <will> Or is it screwed and needs to be reinstalled?
[08:39] <kendrick> a friend happened to mention his Ubuntu (I think he uses XFCE but maybe Gnome) has a similar problem on some laptop. totally different hardware (gfx, cpu).
[08:39] <will> Crashes.*
[08:39] <LordLimecat> will--yes, as long as you havent been uninstalling drivers or messing with the xorg.conf
[08:39] <FurryNemesis> will, does it go back to the login screen
[08:39] <thread> oo7: I tried a modeline, but it didn't seem to help
[08:39] <K3nto> brb i might crash
[08:39] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: what do you mean installed over 90+-
[08:39] <oo7> it must have been the wrong modeline
[08:39] <TheVault> lemme find it real quick
[08:40] <oo7> you definetly need a modeline for that resolution
[08:40] <kendrick> i've seen others with similar issues on forums, but never find solutions.
[08:40] <will> LordLimecat, So I don't have to worry about a renistall if I've been playing with kcontrol?
[08:40] <thread> oo7: it's a samsung syncmaster 205BW, which is likely The Same as the dell screen since dell uses samsung screens sometimes
[08:40] <will> FurryNemesis, I think so.
[08:40] <kendrick> http://www.kde-forum.org/artikel/15881/KDE-Xorg-CPU-usage-increases-until-locks-X.html for example :(
[08:40] <thread> oo7: can you help me find the modeline?
[08:40] <oo7> ya
[08:40] <thread> LordLimecat: yea like I say, I have the sync rates in the xorg.conf
[08:40] <oo7> lemme smoke some medicine first :)
[08:40] <thread> oo7: hah of course :)
[08:40] <LordLimecat> dunno, im not gonna be able to help
[08:40] <LordLimecat> i dont even know what modelines is :(
[08:41] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: I installed the GSTREAMER
[08:41] <LordLimecat> will--lemme see what kcontrol is
[08:41] <oo7> i'll help you, /msg me
[08:41] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: you likely need libdvdcss2
[08:41] <TheVault> how would I acquire that?
[08:41] <will> LordLimecat, KDE Control panel.
[08:41] <IndyGunFreak> hold on.
[08:41] <LordLimecat> will, it doesnt look like you could have done annythin too drastic
[08:41] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: how would i acquire that?
[08:42] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: hang on a sec, i'm looking
[08:42] <LordLimecat> the only time a restart hosed me was when i didnt follow directions, uninstalled my nvidia drivers, messed up my xorg.conf, and issued the command "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop"
[08:42] <LordLimecat> THAT causes issues :D
[08:42] <Slart> ah.. indygunfreak.. the guy that tried to dcc chat everyone a while back =)
[08:42] <IndyGunFreak> Slart: come on, cut me some slack.
[08:42] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Alrighty. Someone was telling me that they disable dvd playback on ubuntu for security reasons, but you manually gotta enable it, someone told me that a few days ago
[08:42] <will> LordLimecat, So if X crashes it'll just log me out?
[08:42] <kendrick> hrm, gotta go make breakfast. mention my nick in your response so i can find it in the traffic later :)
[08:42] <kendrick> thx
[08:42] <LordLimecat> how has x been crashing
[08:43] <Mythmon> is "sudo bash" to get a root command line considered a bad thing? (not a root command line, but this particular way)
[08:43] <K3nt1> yep i crashed
[08:43] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: yeah, its not really security reasons, its legal reasons.. its questionable wether you hve the right to decrypt a DVD you own... go figure
[08:43] <Slart> IndyGunFreak: no problem... slack cut =)
[08:43] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[08:43] <will> LordLimecat, I just see a black screen and a few seconds later I go to login.
[08:43] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault:     http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy#How_to_install_DVD_playback_capability
[08:43] <gaspipe1> hey....
[08:43] <TheVault> Thanks
[08:43] <IndyGunFreak> Slart: i got put in the penalty box for 2 days over that..lol
[08:43] <K3nt1> will: i get a black sceen with music
[08:43] <billymeter> IndyGunFreak: I don't it's it's questionable, I think it's illegal under the DCMA
[08:43] <IndyGunFreak> Slart: but Seveasis a forgiving God.. i mean Mod.. and reinstated me.
[08:43] <gaspipe1> does anyone have shockwave running on firefox for ubuntu?
[08:44] <LordLimecat> personally, i think youd be fine, if the files were messed up, i dont think x would start
[08:44] <K3nt1> will: it just stays black
[08:44] <Slart> IndyGunFreak: what happened? you got a virus or something?
[08:44] <will> K3nt1, My speakers are off right now. :P
[08:44] <IndyGunFreak> billymeter: well, let me rephrase.. its stupid that its illegal, when you own it.
[08:44] <IndyGunFreak> Slart: i was stupid, didn't know what DCC was, so i tried it,
[08:44] <xf00f> gaspipe - I don't believe you can get shockwave on linux, just flash
[08:44] <billymeter> IndyGunFreak: You're preaching to the choir buddy =)
[08:44] <IndyGunFreak> stupidity is the only reason i can give...lol
[08:44] <IndyGunFreak> billymeter: lol...
[08:45] <LordLimecat> IndyGunFreak: its not questionable as to whether you have the right to decrypt a dvd--you DO have the right
[08:45] <LordLimecat> the law just doesnt realize it yet
[08:45] <LordLimecat> :)
[08:45] <Slart> IndyGunFreak: ah.. well.. we all have the "what's this.. let's try it"-gene.. or we wouldn't be using linux ;)
[08:45] <IndyGunFreak> Slart: well let me make a suggestion, DCC isn't one to try..lol
[08:45] <zcat[1] > gaspipe1: You can install wine and the windows firefox, then run shockwave in that. I used to run flash that way before the linux version caught up..
[08:45] <gaspipe1> xfoof
[08:45] <Slart> IndyGunFreak: hehe.. true
[08:47] <gop> is thier a flash ppc version
[08:47] <soundray> gop: no
[08:47] <zyth> gop, gnash
[08:47] <IndyGunFreak> gop:  I don't think so.
[08:47] <zyth> !gnash
[08:47] <ubotu> An open source flash replacement.  It is still beta software. For current status or for more info http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/
[08:47] <zyth> there ya go.
[08:47] <gaspipe1> xf00f: u run flash
[08:47] <gop> !gnash
[08:47] <IndyGunFreak> gop:  I guess thats your answer
[08:47] <gaspipe1> zcat[1] : dumb Q...if I install wine... do i need to install xp also?
[08:47] <zcat[1] > gaspipe1: not at all
[08:47] <gop> gaspipe1:  nope
[08:47] <gop> that what great about it
[08:47] <soundray> zcat[1] : you don't even need a Windows licence
[08:47] <soundray> zcat[1] : sry, I said that to the wrong guy ;)
[08:47] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: any luck?
[08:47] <gop> me to
[08:47] <zcat[1] > soundray: according to monkeyboy I need an MS license just to run Linux :(
[08:48] <gaspipe1> zcat[1] : wow...so i can install wine.. then run lets say itunes from my xp (ubuntu and xp pro are on my same HDD <dual boot> )
[08:48] <gop> you could
[08:48] <thread> here's my xorg.conf and Xorg.0.log: http://rafb.net/p/7xVkJy21.html
[08:48] <gop> gaspipe1:  youc an even use vmserver
[08:48] <thread> 1680x1050 refuses to work
[08:48] <dan_> Does anyone know how change play speeds in XMMS? because its playing songs really fast, all the voices are like chipmonks
[08:48] <gop> and run windows xp inside of
[08:48] <thread> with or without the modeline
[08:48] <gop> ubuntu
[08:48] <LordLimecat> gaspipe1: I am able to take the program folder for world of warcraft from windows, COPY the folder, and run it directly from linux
[08:48] <LordLimecat> no install'
[08:48] <zcat[1] > gaspipe1: in theory. In practise getting stuff to run under wine is often a pita..
[08:48] <LordLimecat> wine is quite good
[08:48] <gop> !vmware > gaspipe1
[08:48] <gop> itunes under winde runs slow
[08:49] <gop> but say program like ff or mirc it works great
[08:49] <gaspipe1> gop: what do u like wine or vmserver?
[08:49] <LordLimecat> games seem to work decent
[08:49] <gop> gaspipe1:  wine is good
[08:49] <gop> for games
[08:49] <LordLimecat> if yer computers beefy
[08:49] <thread> oo7: YGPM ?
[08:49] <directhex> i don't see the point in running specific applications with free, native equivalents under layers like wine
[08:49] <gop> but vmserver is good for full xp desktop
[08:49] <gop> directhex:  true
[08:49] <billymeter> Personally I think RhythmBox is just as good as iTunes
[08:49] <gaspipe1> can i install wine from apps>add/remove?
[08:49] <gop> gaspipe1:  nope
[08:49] <oo7> i'm a medical marijauna patient, i'm getting medicated
[08:49] <billymeter> Just don't have the access to DRM Tunes in the ITMS
[08:49] <directhex> things like itunes. why bother?
[08:49] <LordLimecat> directhex: World of warcraft has no linux equivalent, nor does mirandaIM
[08:49] <oo7> it takes a couple minutes
[08:49] <gop> use sudo apt-get install wine
[08:49] <hflappy> bah still no friggin luck removing vmware-player anyone have problem with removing it?
[08:50] <LordLimecat> nor do a lot of games
[08:50] <zcat[1] > directhex: there's a free shockwave plugin that works? :)
[08:50] <gaspipe1> billymeter: i been using amarak
[08:50] <gop> !install > gaspipe1
[08:50] <IndyGunFreak> hflappy: did it have windows in it, or were you running windows with vmware'd linux?
[08:50] <directhex> LordLimecat, a multi-server im client has no free equivalent?
[08:50] <ZeZu> how can i change a users home directory ?
[08:50] <hflappy> nope
[08:50] <soundray> directhex: sometimes "equivalent" is not equivalent enough, e.g. if you have to collaborate on documents with users on the dark side.
[08:50] <gop> !synpatic gaspipe1
[08:50] <LordLimecat> directhex: not one with as big an addon selection
[08:50] <billymeter> gaspipe1: To install wine, run 'sudo apt-get install wine' at the command line
[08:50] <hflappy> just installed it...configure didn't work had 2 failures and now i can't remove it
[08:50] <hflappy> completely
[08:50] <LordLimecat> kopete is the closest ive seen
[08:50] <xf00f> pretty sure you need a license (or you doid many moons ago when I first used it) - it uses the windows DLLs
[08:50] <LordLimecat> and its slow in irc
[08:50] <oo7> ZeZu, edit /etc/passwd
[08:50] <IndyGunFreak> hflappy: i dont' know man, good luck
[08:51] <hflappy> IndyGunFreak: kew kew...thx
[08:51] <gop> use irssi for irc
[08:51] <LordLimecat> only crazy ppl use terminal for internets
[08:51] <LordLimecat> crazy i say

[08:52] <gaspipe1> wine didn't install
[08:52] <dan_> thank you
[08:52] <billymeter> LordLimecat: I know, I was thinking ahead and held down shift when typing lynx =)
[08:52] <LordLimecat> lol
[08:52] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: is it working
[08:52] <ZeZu> oo7, thanks
[08:52] <billymeter> LordLimecat: I got too excited.
[08:53] <LordLimecat> thats disturbing
[08:53] <LordLimecat> :(
[08:53] <billymeter> lol
[08:53] <LordLimecat> and by the way
[08:53] <LordLimecat> this is gonna get me kicked, or killed, or worse
[08:53] <LordLimecat> but Vi sucks
[08:53] <LordLimecat> seriously
[08:53] <billymeter> !!
[08:53] <LordLimecat> im sorry, it does
[08:53] <billymeter> Heresy.....
[08:53] <soundray> gaspipe1: have you enabled the universe repository?
[08:53] <Mythmon> uhoh... i smell a holy war...
[08:53] <LordLimecat> cant frikkin exit a file without blowing it up by hitting the wrong keyt
[08:53] <gaspipe1> soundray: ahhh not sure
[08:53] <billymeter> LordLimecat: lol
[08:54] <LordLimecat> i have to worry about what each key i press could do :(
[08:54] <LordLimecat> i try to type hello and a nuke launches
[08:54] <soundray> gaspipe1: and make sure you're on i386
[08:54] <gaspipe1> soundray: was that a plug-in for Amorak to play mp3?
[08:54] <LordLimecat> nano FTW
[08:54] <kelsin> LordLimecat: if you want a quick easy "I don't want to do anything but hit arrows and letters" then don't use Vi, simple as that, clearly Vi is not for you
[08:54] <gaspipe1> soundray: I am using 64 bit
[08:54] <LordLimecat> its not :(
[08:54] <LordLimecat> thats why god made guis
[08:54] <kelsin> doesn't mean Vi sucks, it means you like Guis
[08:54] <soundray> gaspipe1: sorry, no wine on amd64 unless you jump through some extra hoops
[08:55] <billymeter> I'm wearing a shirt that says "fsck!"
[08:55] <LordLimecat> well, anyone who suggests a noob use vi to edit fstab is evil
[08:55] <soundray> gaspipe1: there are instructions on the forums
[08:55] <Mythmon> speaking of wine, how hard is it to get Photoshop CS2/CS3 Beta to work on Wine?
[08:55] <billymeter> LordLimecat: I'll agree with that
[08:55] <kelsin> LordLimecat: agreed as well
[08:55] <gaspipe1> soundray: ok... right after I installed ubuntu 64 I read not to install that b/c it isn't supported...just my luck
[08:55] <obelix> Where does 'scantv' save it's config file?
[08:55] <IndyGunFreak> billymeter: how many people do you think know what that shirt means?
[08:55] <gaspipe1> soundray: thanks though...
[08:55] <IndyGunFreak> obelix: scantv?.. never heard of it.
[08:55] <obelix> haha :)
[08:56] <soundray> gaspipe1: I think the forums author you want to look for is called Kilz
[08:56] <billymeter> IndyGunFreak: Probably not many. They all think it's the other "f" word in code.
[08:56] <obelix> IndyGunFreak: it should output a xawtv config file
[08:56] <l337h4l> Anyone had problems with the Nautilus DVD burning since updates in Feisty yesterday
[08:56] <Msword> quick question: what should i format my drive for(I'm dual booting windows) for ubuntu?
[08:56] <gaspipe1> soundray: once Fiesty Fawn comes out can I upgrade that to i386 w/o doing a reformat and reinstall?
[08:56] <ubuntudan> anyone know how to fix xmms when the play speed is all messed up, songs play super fast for me >.<
[08:56] <IndyGunFreak> obelix: hmm

[08:56] <IndyGunFreak> billymeter: yeah, you're likely right
[08:56] <l337h4l> ty
[08:56] <LordLimecat> from the Vi lovers in here, i take it at least 2 of you (billy, kitche) are decently versed in linux?
[08:56] <soundray> gaspipe1: first of all, going to i386 is a downgrade IMO ;)
[08:56] <gaspipe1> is there an easy way to nistall flash?
[08:56] <LordLimecat> i have an issue noones been able to answer, and i dunno if its an issue
[08:56] <CBunny> how do i boot the live cd text mode?
[08:57] <billymeter> LordLimecat: Not really. I'm still pretty much a n00b.
[08:57] <gaspipe1> soundray: u use 64?
[08:57] <soundray> gaspipe1: and second, no, you can't -- do a fresh install instead.
[08:57] <LordLimecat> @ boot: PCI: cannot allocate region 3 of...........
[08:57] <Msword> what should i format my drive for ubuntu?
[08:57] <IndyGunFreak> obelix: can you just open a terminal and type "scantv" no quotes?
[08:57] <LordLimecat> then the load screen appears
[08:57] <soundray> gaspipe1: I do, on five cores at this time ;)
[08:57] <obelix> yup
[08:57] <d-s-d> i tried to create a cron-job that starts mplayer. But mplayer will only play for a second or so and then exits... why is that?
[08:57] <IndyGunFreak> obelix: and what happens?
[08:57] <ubuntudan> XMMS Play speed? Anyone? Help? Pretty Please?
[08:57] <lillpelle> http://hurf.mine.nu/micke/irctex/result-5820.png (58 x 46) 249 bytes
[08:57] <obelix> it scans
[08:57] <gaspipe1> soundray:  so u don't use wine?
[08:57] <soundray> gaspipe1: no need
[08:57] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntudan: ? whats wrong with it.. to slow, to fast, what/
[08:57] <TridenT_Boy3555> Help...
[08:58] <Msword> should i use ext3 for ubuntu?
[08:58] <ubuntudan> IndyGunFreak, Too fast, voices are all high pitched and everything is like 1 and a half times faster id say
[08:58] <Hirvinen> Msword: ReiserFS or Ext3 should be good.
[08:58] <soundray> !clone > gaspipe1, this will get you up and running quicker if you do decide to reinstall
[08:58] <soundray> Msword: short answer or long answer?
[08:58] <gaspipe1> soundray: ok....is there something u use?
[08:58] <Msword> what do you recomend using
[08:58] <LordLimecat> !clone > LordLimecat
[08:58] <Msword> doesn't matter on length
[08:58] <soundray> Msword: short answer is yes
[08:58] <gaspipe1> !clone
[08:58] <ubotu> To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type "dpkg --get-selections > ~/my-packages", move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type "sudo dpkg --set-selections < my-packages && apt-get dselect-upgrade"
[08:58] <xf00f> to be fair vi is an abomination - it should at least have a line of text on screen to tell you how to enter commands. As it is you end up deleting/overwriting half your menu.lst trying to insert a line :/
[08:58] <billymeter> LordLimecat: Probably the most advanced Linux thing I've done has been getting the Broadcom driver to work in Slackware.

[08:59] <Msword> would using Gnome Partition Editor work well?
[08:59] <Stormx2> Yo. w32codecs lets media player play only audio of .rm files. How can I get it to play video also?

[08:59] <ubuntudan> IndyGunFreak, Dont suppose u got a fix for that?
[08:59] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntudan: hmm i have no idea what would cause that... have ou tried Beep Media Player?.. its very similar to Xmms?
[08:59] <gaspipe1> soundray: i wasn't gett'n the info when u typed !clone > gaspipe1
[08:59] <Msword> soundray, is Gnome Partition Editor a good program for partitioning?
[08:59] <LordLimecat> sdac221x_: one second
[08:59] <d-s-d> can someone help me?
[08:59] <kitche> xf00f: you probably never have used vi before have you :) it's much harder then vim lol
[08:59] <kelsin> LordLimecat: when I use vim I get a "INSERT" line when I'm in insert mode...
[09:00] <LordLimecat> i knwo what yer talking about
[09:00] <ubuntudan> IndyGunFreak, i think i just messed up a setting, clicked something accidently, this has happend before a loong time ago, cant remember how to fix though
[09:00] <najzlijiji> hey can somebody tell me how to delete mistyped repository in /etc/apt/sources.list?
[09:00] <soundray> sdac221x_: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:00] <K3nto> LordLimecat: how can i change from "froce GLX" to anything else in beryl without starting it? i changed it to that to experiment and now when i start beryl, everything freezes
[09:00] <LordLimecat> kelsin: thats not as clear as it could be -_-
[09:00] <xf00f> used vi before we had things like X terminals at uni. hated it
[09:00] <soundray> gaspipe1: it's in your private messages
[09:00] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntudan: sorry, i went through the settings, can't find anything that would make it do that
[09:00] <soundray> Msword: yes
[09:00] <Msword> k ty
[09:00] <ubuntudan> IndyGunFreak, lol yeah its messed up hehe

[09:01] <billymeter> Is SLI supported in the nVidia driver?
[09:01] <kelsin> LordLimecat: again then Vi is not for you guys, use a gui program, there are PLENTY, but complaining about Vi using features that make it as good as it is isn't helping
[09:01] <sdac221x_> soundray:  i don't have a /boot  directory on my system
[09:01] <gaspipe1> soundray: holy crap....i didn't even see that.....this is a first lol
[09:01] <Stormx2> w32codecs lets media player play only audio of .rm files. How can I get it to play video also?
[09:01] <oo7> sdac221x_, sudo mount /boot
[09:01] <soundray> sdac221x_: are you on ubuntu?
[09:01] <LordLimecat> sdac221x_:  i found it for you
[09:01] <LordLimecat> sudo cp /boot/grub/menu.lst /boot/grub/menu.lst.backup
[09:01] <LordLimecat> sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:02] <sdac221x_> soundray: i am on xubuntu but shouldnt make diff right ?
[09:02] <gaspipe1> soundray: alright thanks again!!
[09:02] <soundray> sdac221x_: indeed, it shouldn't
[09:02] <|Jason8|> Hey guys, when I put any ubuntu CD in my drive and reboot my computer, the Ubuntu splash screen comes up with the menus.  Well, my keyboard and mouse both stop functioning.  Any idea why?
[09:02] <LordLimecat> kelsin: vi jibes are partly in jest, since so many ppl are fanatical about it
[09:02] <ubuntudan> anyone know how to fix xmms when the play speed is all messed up, songs play super fast for me anyone know what to do for that?
[09:02] <sdac221x_> oh hold on
[09:02] <LordLimecat> i realize for gurus, its probably pretty coolk
[09:02] <sdac221x_> yes found it
[09:02] <LordLimecat> :)
[09:03] <soundray> !repeat > ubuntudan
[09:03] <najzlijiji> is there anyone able to help me here???
[09:03] <LordLimecat> najzlijiji: whats the issue?
[09:03] <soundray> sdac221x_: it's at the top of the file, the timeout option
[09:03] <ubuntudan> Point taken lol
[09:03] <billymeter> Does anyone else have an issue with the sound not working with Quake III Arena or Enemy Territory?
[09:03] <LordLimecat> ubuntudan: if noone answers, google  or ubuntuguide.com are good resources....id get used to using them
[09:04] <sdac221x_> is it safe to uncomment the "# Pretty colours" entry in grub file ?
[09:04] <will> What's KDE?
[09:04] <sdac221x_> i mean uncomment #color cyan/blue white/blue
[09:04] <najzlijiji> i have mistyped wrong repository and then it chrashed .. so i removed all of reps... and yet that one that was bugging me is still there.. in /etc/apt/sources.list
[09:04] <soundray> ubuntudan: not to pretend I know how to help you, but have you tried another player, like mpg321 (command line)
[09:04] <kelsin> billymeter: make sure you have the alsa-oss packages installed (I'm not sure if this is it)
[09:04] <ubuntudan> LordLimecat, lol been all over every doc i could find, this was my last hope hehe
[09:04] <will> !KDE
[09:04] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the K Desktop Environment. To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop", or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE . Latest KDE veresion is 3.5.6 for Edgy and 3.5.5 for Dapper. See http://kubuntu.org for more information.
[09:04] <billymeter> kelsin: Thanks, I'll check that
[09:04] <LordLimecat> ubuntudan: what...exactly is happening?
[09:04] <najzlijiji> so now i have to remove that and put back thos default
[09:04] <st0n3cutt3r> gyaresu: are you back?
[09:04] <ubuntudan> soundray, noper, dont know how to do that
[09:04] <Stormx2> will: please /msg ubotu
[09:04] <kelsin> billymeter: those games might still use OSS, not also, installing alsa-oss (I thinkt hat's the name) will add the oss-emulation with alsa
[09:05] <billymeter> kelsin: Alright, just installed that package, I'll test it out now.
[09:05] <ubuntudan> LordLimecat, My songs started playing really fast, like the play speed was increased, high pitched voices and stuff, happend a while ago cant remember how i fixed it though
[09:05] <LordLimecat> kelsin: isnt aoss installed by default?
[09:05] <soundray> ubuntudan: install mpg321 with your favourite package manager and run 'mpg321 filename.mp3'
[09:05] <oo7> ubuntudan, mess with the input/output in the xmms preferences, also check out amarok as an alternative
[09:05] <korzen> siema
[09:05] <st0n3cutt3r> if anyone can help me with these instructions:   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Belkin_F5D7050_ver_3000_%28Ralink_rt73_driver%29?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDevice%29   I would be very grateful
[09:05] <kelsin> LordLimecat: obviously for him it wasn't, since he just installed it
[09:06] <LordLimecat> oh :|
[09:06] <kelsin> LordLimecat: I'm unsure whether in different ubuntu releases it is already installed. If the default Ubuntu desktop doesn't have any apps that use OSS, I bet they would remove it
[09:06] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Alright, its working
[09:07] <LordLimecat> kelsin: i dont remember SUCCESSFULLY installing alsa or aoss, but when a doc suggested i use it for firefox to fix flash sound, it was there and worked
[09:07] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: ok.. cool.  if your DVD playback is real choppy...   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA
[09:07] <LordLimecat> im usin 6.10, maybe its new
[09:07] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Yeah, just a lil choppy
[09:07] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: you prolly need to enable DMA
[09:07] <K3nto> how can i change the rendering for beryl w/o starting it? right now it is at GLX or something and i need it back to Nvidia. every time i start beryl it freezes.
[09:07] <LordLimecat> st0n3cutt3r: what do you need help withj
[09:08] <IndyGunFreak> folow the instructions at that link i just sent.
[09:08] <billymeter> kelsin: Okay, I get a Could not mmap dma buffer PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ error when running it now
[09:08] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Thanks for helping me out. Anyway I can make Xine Movie Player my default DVD player of choice? I got another movie player that pops up and I don't want that player
[09:08] <ubuntudan> LordLimecat, Looking at the time on XMMS, the seconds are going by faster then they should, its going 2 seconds for every REAL second
[09:08] <hflappy> has anyone had a prob wit vmware-player and can't uninstall it?  dpkg is complaining bout sum --configure prob or sumtin
[09:08] <K3nto> LordLimecat: do you know?
[09:09] <|Jason8|> When I put any ubuntu CD in my drive and reboot my computer, the Ubuntu splash screen comes up with the menus.  Well, my keyboard and mouse both stop functioning.  Any idea why?
[09:09] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: i know there's a way to do that, just not sure how... Xine rocks by the way
[09:09] <st0n3cutt3r> LordLimecat: I just need to know anything that I need to download for it to work, and where to get those things, because I have no internet access with ubuntu at all right now
[09:09] <mbac> is there a decent graphic boot editor?
[09:09] <hflappy> so how do i get it to remove completely from aptitude so it don't go thru the vmware-player's --configure process
[09:09] <colbert> Hello, how can I set VLC to play a certain movie file like .mpg or .avi ??
[09:09] <oo7> K3nto, start beryl-manager only?
[09:09] <LordLimecat> K3nto: no, i dont , but i think theres a relationship between glx and nvidia?
[09:09] <K3nto> yeah
[09:09] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Then I picked it out myself personally
[09:09] <LordLimecat> ie, one and the same?
[09:09] <K3nto> and no bery
[09:09] <TheVault> :)
[09:09] <K3nto> not
[09:09] <LordLimecat> oh, you want to get rid of beryl for now
[09:09] <kelsin> billymeter: http://www.happypenguin.org/show?Quake%203%20Arena&start=10
[09:09] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: yeah, i think thats what i usually do, cuz it usually opens Totem for me, and I prefer VLC
[09:09] <mbac> i mean, i'm impulsively just going to edit the grub config with vi but someone told me last night that these gee whiz graphical tools can do a lot these days
[09:09] <LordLimecat> rightclick the emerald, go to window manager, and select metacity
[09:10] <oo7> beryl-manager --no-force-window-manager --no-force-decorator
[09:10] <oo7> maybe
[09:10] <billymeter> kelsin: Thanks for the link
[09:10] <kelsin> billymeter: people suggest stuff on that page to solve that error (next time try googling the error :))
[09:10] <up365> colbert, open the file and change the "open with" to VLC
[09:10] <TheVault> Yeah, that Totem kinda is a lame player(no offense to the creator, sorry)
[09:10] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: I don't care for it either, VLC is awesome.
[09:10] <TheVault> Yeah, VLC is another good one
[09:10] <TheVault> Use it on windows(oh god, he said windows) and its a excellent player
[09:11] <kelsin> Totem depends on your gstreamer plugins, once you install a bunch (esp from multiverse and other reps) it's fine
[09:11] <LordLimecat> TheVault: the most delicious part is multicasting+web client

[09:11] <oo7> !kb
[09:11] <ubotu> While it is common in the computing field to consider 1kB (one kilobyte) = 1024B (1024 bytes), the correct equation, according to standard IEEE 1541, is 1kB = 1000B. On the other hand, 1KiB (one kibibyte) = 1024B  -  Same goes for all multiples
[09:11] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Says DMA can be dangerious
[09:11] <Kuba> ok okj:)
[09:11] <Kuba> sory:)
[09:11] <LordLimecat> lol
[09:11] <up365> colbert, I know I'd like to change default player also
[09:11] <happyface0> how can I install this in just terminal? http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[09:11] <Kuba> are that pockets enough to compile kernel?
[09:12] <mbac> apparantly the gnome system tool is supposed to have a boot editor
[09:12] <mbac> whoa
[09:12] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: i dont know what danger it poses, but i've always enabled it w/o issue(note.. i think my DVD drive is dead..lol)
[09:12] <argetlam> I looked in the supported list on the wiki says it works out of the box but is not supported in Installed system
[09:12] <Kuba> are that pockets enough to compile kernel??
[09:12] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Maybe DMA got hungry lol
[09:12] <argetlam> Do I have hope of getting it to work or do I need a different card
[09:12] <IndyGunFreak> maybe
[09:12] <Halcy0n> Can anyone tell me where apt/synaptic would get its HTTP proxy settings?  Apparently I have an http proxy set somewhere and synaptic keeps trying to use it when I launch it.
[09:12] <st0n3cutt3r> LordLimecat: can you help me with it?
[09:12] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: like i siad, it was making a wierd noise last night, so its prolly time for a new one

[09:13] <LordLimecat> st0n3cutt3r: ....lemme check
[09:13] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Yeah maybe, but mines fairly new, bought it last year
[09:13] <LordLimecat> do you know how to use the terminal?
[09:13] <Kuba> re that pockets enough to compile kernel?
[09:13] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Best of all mine is portable
[09:13] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: now that is good.
[09:13] <st0n3cutt3r> LordLimecat: I think for the most part all I think I need to get files for is step 2
[09:13] <DemisM> when you first load ubuntu you get the loading bar with ubuntu on it is there anyway to change or get rid of this?
[09:13] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Man ubuntu players DVDs better than on Windows
[09:14] <TheVault> *plays dvds better than Windows
[09:14] <Shaba1> hello all
[09:14] <LordLimecat> you should be able to copy-paste those commands into the terminal
[09:14] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: yeah, i really like VLC...
[09:14] <LordLimecat> apt-get will automagically grab them for you
[09:14] <TheVault> I am on a Pentium 3 Computer with 256mb of ram and a 20gig HD and my computer is running super fast
[09:14] <sherdog88> hi, how can I install ubuntu from hdd ? i don't have cdrom. only iso image
[09:14] <oo7> Halcy0n, Open Synaptic, Settings > Preferences > Network
[09:15] <TheVault> On windows, the playback skips badly
[09:15] <colbert> up365:  Okay what we do is right-click the media file, go to Properties and then "open with" and select our player from the list, it will then make it default for all files of that type
[09:15] <Halcy0n> oo7: yea, it wasn't set in there.  I finally found it.  It was buried in gconf.
[09:15] <TheVault> I'm a windows guy(oh man, he said windows again) and I'm loving Ubuntu already :)
[09:15] <recon39> could someone help me with adding permissions to a dvd player
[09:15] <bjv> does the 6.06 CD include gparted?

[09:16] <yell0w> bjv, yes
[09:16] <argetlam> Do I have hope of getting it to work or do I need a different card
[09:16] <billymeter> kelsin: Thanks I got it to work. I did Google it a few days back and I found the echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct"... thing. It didn't work because I didn't have that package installed. Thanks for the help.
[09:16] <LordLimecat> the thing about windows, its not customizeable, so ppl like me who like to explore their system have nothin new to do after the first 6 months with xp
[09:16] <techie> Anyone! How do I make my totem movieplayer read my cdrom?
[09:16] <TheVault> *TheVault slaps bill gates, and bows down once again to linux*
[09:16] <kelsin> billymeter: np

[09:17] <Coffeegrindah> has anyone in here played with the persistant live / USB drive stuff?
[09:17] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak helped me out on that problem
[09:17] <whieimhere> I was wondering if by using either XFCE or Enlightenment 17 is there a decrease in the system resource usage in comparison to say the GNOME - Metacity combo?

[09:18] <DemisM> how do I add some environment variable so that when gdm starts it loads it?
[09:18] <oo7> decrease
[09:18] <joshjosh> _MaPuChE_ can you get to the "Start of Install Ubuntu" screen?
[09:19] <dg1> _MaPuChE_: To start with, type your problem entirely on one line ;) Helps when there's 1k+ people around.
[09:19] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: thats a really good FAQ to hang on to, shows how to do just about everything
[09:19] <techie> TheVault... thanks I will give it a try
[09:19] <AJIEXA> what a program i must use to open "flv" file format ?
[09:19] <LordLimecat> linux_kid: I've never done this before, but for lack of anyone else answering, i notice that under places, theres a connect to server option
[09:19] <whieimhere> oo7 and XFCE is an increase?
[09:19] <LordLimecat> you would probably want to "connect to windows share"
[09:19] <rysiek|pl> guys, got a problem here. a friend tried running fglrx + beryl a wee bit too hard and he "lost" (don't ask...) his libGL.so.1 file (and now e.g. amarok won't start); now, libGL.so.1 is a symlink to libGL.so.1.2 (both are gone), and both are in the package libgl1-mesa-glx... but that doesn't want to reinstall, complaining that it's "impossible to create a symlink (/usr/lib/libGL.so.1): no such file or directory" anybody any ideas? apart
[09:19] <rysiek|pl> from obviously copying the file from my system to his...
[09:19] <Chief> @AJIEXA: vlc
[09:19] <LordLimecat> from there, dunno
[09:19] <dimych> Sound doesn't come out after system boot, but all settings in volume controls are correct. After some up/down of sliders (to max position and then back) it starts to work normally. What can be a reason?
[09:19] <linux_kid> LordLimecat, its a windows pc, so it wont show up as a recongnized printer
 you can use VLC
[09:20] <LordLimecat> oh
[09:20] <oo7> gnome would use more memory than XFCE
[09:20] <LordLimecat> sorry then
[09:20] <whieimhere> Aliexa though it wont give you a timeline slider
[09:20] <Mythmon> how difficult is it to get steam games (CS:S, HL2, etc) to work under wine?

[09:20] <dg1> I'm the same TheVault! :)

[09:20] <TheVault> dg1: yuppers. Next thing i'll do is setup my printer
[09:21] <rysiek|pl> anybody?..
[09:21] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: yeah I know what you mean
[09:21] <st0n3cutt3r> can anyone help me understand some instructions for installing a wireless adapter on ubuntu?
[09:21] <Taime1> i dont know, will, im sorry...
[09:21] <joshjosh> _MaPuChe_ press F6 at the boot screen and add noapic nolapic to that line
[09:21] <kelsin> _MaPuChE_: you can use the text install program, it's one of the options from the boot menu, hit f3 or f4 to see what option it is
[09:21] <jussi01> linux_kid, try www.linuxprinting.org
[09:21] <Coffeegrindah> does anyone know what to do with the "ubuntu" user after setting up a persistant live USB stick with a new user?
[09:21] <linux_kid> jussi01 ok
[09:21] <minimec> st0n3cutt3r: usb wifi adapter?
[09:21] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: i don't know if this will help you... but what i do, in case links change,e tc, and its something REALLY useful(like how to configure my TV card)
[09:22] <whieimhere> If I want the XFCE desktop what package do I install? I do not want o eliminate the GNOME desktop though
[09:22] <joshjosh> whieimhere: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[09:22] <st0n3cutt3r> minimec: yes
[09:22] <megafauna> Hi, how do I download a missing library file? What is the terminal command?>
[09:22] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: I have a Canon ip1700 printer, know of any install guides on how to get that running?
[09:22] <_MaPuChE_> ok... ill try... anythin else i should keep in mind?
[09:22] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: i open the file in Opera, and save it as an .mht file(more or less, a snapshot of the website)... and save those useful .mht's with my backups.. :)
[09:22] <scooterskin> what version would be best to install on a amd 3800 dual core?
[09:22] <st0n3cutt3r> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Belkin_F5D7050_ver_3000_%28Ralink_rt73_driver%29?highlight=%28WifiDocs%2FDevice%29
[09:22] <Pinnen> which is the most featureistic msn-client for linux?
[09:23] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: no i really don't, sorry
[09:23] <|Jason8|> Is it possible to load software off of a kubuntu CD onto an ubuntu system?
[09:23] <jussi01> Pinnen, amsn
[09:23] <minimec> st0n3cutt3r: plug it in and try iwconfig in a console. You will see if your adapter was recognized.
 Gaim (IMO)
[09:23] <Chief> does somebody know, how to add a menu section to grub, which will do a fsck on my /
[09:23] <_MaPuChE_> ok thx for the help
[09:23] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Alrighty, i'll see what I can come up with
[09:23] <whieimhere> JoshJosh Thank you
[09:23] <st0n3cutt3r> i tried that and it was, but it failed to identify a network
[09:23] <Flannel> |Jason8|: You mean use the Kubuntu CD as a repository?  Is it an Alternate CD?
[09:23] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: printer support and wireless support, might be two of Linux's bigger drawbacks.
[09:23] <jussi01> |Jason8|, yes
[09:23] <Pinnen> jussi01: Coffeegrindah: ok, tnx.. will try them out later then :)
[09:23] <|Jason8|> That's possible?
[09:23] <|Jason8|> Wicked.
[09:23] <joshjosh> wheimhere: When you restart x you'll have to click settings and choose your desktop from there
[09:23] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Yeah, I had a nightmare with my Broadcom 43xx on my laptop(but got it working)
[09:24] <Flannel> |Jason8|: Ubuntu and Kubuntu are the same distro, just with different WMs
[09:24] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: yeah, i'm scared to try wireless just yet...like is aid yesterda, i spent 17hrs on dual monitors..lol
[09:24] <whieimhere> joshjosh Thanks
[09:24] <joshjosh> no prob
[09:24] <Flannel> Chief: you want to touch /forcefsck then reboot
[09:24] <oo7> fear not, a unified wireless subsystem went into the mm kernel recently, so linux may use it soon
[09:24] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Wow
[09:24] <oo7> s/linux/linus
[09:24] <joshjosh> indygunfreak: It's not too hard. I have the horrid dell 1390 card and I got it working in about an hour...
[09:24] <Uggggg> I finally got my scanner working
[09:24] <TheVault> oo7: That sounds like good news about wireless :D
[09:24] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: here's the crappy part, i had it set up in an hour, ...
[09:24] <linux_kid> How do i find out what PCL version my printer uses?
[09:25] <Uggggg> I had to extract firmware from the windows driver to do it
[09:25] <Uggggg> LOL
[09:25] <IndyGunFreak> i just couldn't get it set up like I wanted it set up.
[09:25] <|Jason8|> Flannel, can I upgrade ubuntu breezy with kubuntu dapper?  I really like KDE
[09:25] <joshjosh> indygunfreak: But ActuallyI could've done it in 15 minutes if i would've just restarted after modprobe ndiswrapper hah
[09:25] <IndyGunFreak> i hosed my xorg.conf at leat 60x..lol
[09:25] <Chief> @Flannel: thx
[09:25] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: I know what your saying.
[09:25] <jussi01> linux_kid, which printer is it?
[09:25] <joshjosh> jason8: Update normally then sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[09:25] <oo7> linux_kid, linuxprinting.org!
[09:25] <linux_kid> jussi01, lexmark x2250
[09:25] <IndyGunFreak> joshjosh: i had it set up in no time, it was getting it set how i wanted it, and i kept screwing up xorg.conf..lol
[09:25] <linux_kid> oo7 they called it a paperweight
[09:25] <minimec> st0n3cutt3r: ok. In gnome you can configure your device in the network settings in the settings menu.
[09:26] <Flannel> |Jason8|: If you don't want ubuntu, yeah.  You'll want to remove ubuntu, install kubuntu, then upgrade.  Or remove ubuntu, upgrade, then install kubuntu.  And, this only works with the Altenrate CD, Desktop CD can't be used as a repository
[09:26] <linux_kid> oo7, but i still need it to work
[09:26] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: My laptop is my baby, I do all my linux testing on my desktop, and when I feel i have mastered everything or enough to call it my primary OS, then I will
[09:26] <joshjosh> indygunfreak: I gotcha on that. I keep screwing my xorg.conf up trying to get my resolution correct
[09:26] <prepuzio> good evening. getting crazy with wpasupplicant. works very well hand launched but for some reason does not start automatically. /etc/default/wpasupplicant has the ENABLED=1 and OPTIONS="-i ath0 -D madwifi -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -B" lines. Any ideas please please please ????
[09:26] <oo7> shitty
[09:26] <jussi01> linux_kid, it probably is then
[09:26] <minimec> st0n3cutt3r: There is also a network-manager-applet for the taskbar.
[09:26] <IndyGunFreak> joshjosh: yeah, fortunately, i've always been a backup freak, so even if i had to erase and reinstall, i'm almost always ready
[09:26] <linux_kid> jussi01, but i still need it, and a while ago someone told me it supported pcl
[09:26] <joshjosh> indygunfreak: HAh. YOu have better habits than me. I'm a loose cannon on this thing
[09:27] <IndyGunFreak> joshjosh: lol
[09:27] <joshjosh> st0n3cutt3r: Have you been in here all night?
[09:27] <TheVault> joshjosh: patients has its rewards
[09:27] <TheVault> joshjosh: I would know
[09:27] <LordLimecat> er....i just installed mythTV, and its askin gor the mysql password?
[09:27] <|Jason8|> Flannel, what's the difference between the Alternate CD and the Desktop CD?  I just have one CD, I assume that's the desktop CD
[09:27] <LordLimecat> i do not recall setting one
[09:27] <joshjosh> TheVault: Yeah. I need to learn that haha
[09:27] <darkcommon> Its my mainboard "MSI K8MM3" compatible with Beryl or XGL/Compiz
[09:28] <kelsin> |Jason8|: the easiest way to get kbuntu, is like the first response said, upgrade to ubuntu dapper the normal way, and then install the kubuntu-desktop packages
[09:28] <Coffeegrindah> how would I go about adding a USB drive as a bootable option for my local install of GRUB, that is, I've got GRUB On my ThumbDrive, I just need my local install to point to a boot record on my usb drive
[09:28] <prepuzio> why does the wpasupplicant package does NOT install an /etc/init.d/wpasupplicant script ???
[09:28] <Flannel> |Jason8|: the Desktop CD is the liveCD, it's just a disk image (and that's how it installs, by copying the image), the Alternate CD is the textmode installer, it installs by installing all the packages from it's local repository (on the CD)
[09:28] <TheVault> joshjosh: lol. When I was setting up wireless(using the live cd on my laptop) boy I was cussing left and right at it cause it would not work. Then finally, I used a differ method and it worked
[09:28] <oo7> LordLimecat, you'll probaby want to get familar with mysql, and an easy way is to install apache+php+phpmyadmin, phpmyadmin being a web interface for creating the database, creating users, setting permissions to local users only, etc...you'll probably want apache for other things on mythtv (ie, mythweb)
[09:28] <|Jason8|> Okay, tahnks a lot
[09:28] <darkcommon> Flannel the ALTERNATE is an CD for update ubuntu, nostle
[09:29] <joshjosh> TheVault: Same here. I had that with sabayon 3.26...Then I full installed, did everything, got mad it didn't work...restarted it and everything was fine.
[09:29] <Flannel> darkcommon: er... What?
[09:29] <joshjosh> TheVault: Sabayon is a hog though, so I switched to ubuntu yet again
[09:29] <oo7> LordLimecat, but if you didn't set one, i bet you have local access without a password, so username = root, password is just blank/null
[09:29] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: well, i figured out my DVD problem wasn't my DVD player at all, when I tried MythTV, it seems it screwed up my Codecs.. i just re-installed them, and now its working
[09:29] <BrendanM> Wireless support is probably the single biggest shortcoming of Linux
[09:29] <darkcommon> its an CD for update Ubuntu. mostly
[09:29] <LordLimecat> alright
[09:29] <TheVault> joshjosh: I'm only good in Ubuntu
[09:29] <IndyGunFreak> drive is still clicking though, so its on its way to the pc graveyard
[09:29] <LordLimecat> yea, sigh, ill have to learn apache :(
[09:29] <Flannel> darkcommon: no it's not.  It's an install CD, and can be used to upgrade.
[09:29] <prepuzio> ok guys see that my wpasupplicant problems are too tough for you 8-) 8-) good night then !
[09:29] <TheVault> joshjosh: Kubuntu is good but I know where most things are at in Ubuntu
[09:29] <LordLimecat> dont look forward to it, websites just never got my fancy :(
[09:29] <con-man> IndyGunFreak: clicking hard drive? thats never good
[09:30] <eck> LordLimecat: apache is pretty sanely configured, it shouldn't be too hard
[09:30] <darkcommon> its best to use the Desktop disc to install P
[09:30] <oo7> just install apache, there's not much to configure unless you want a custom setup
[09:30] <IndyGunFreak> con-man: clicking dvd drive actually... just as bad..lol
[09:30] <globe> Has anybody any experience with NFS?
[09:30] <IndyGunFreak> con-man: i dont' mess with clicking hard drives, i jus replace them, cuz they always seem to go bad when you least suspect it.
[09:30] <Coffeegrindah> anyone good with GRUB?
[09:30] <arrenlex> !anyone | Coffeegrindah
[09:30] <Flannel> !anyone | Coffeegrindah
[09:30] <ubotu> Coffeegrindah: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[09:31] <prepuzio> please, is anyone reading me ? just want to make shure gaim is working properly, thanks.
[09:31] <TheVault> I HATE GRUB! It was a nightmare when I had no clue on what I was doing
[09:31] <IndyGunFreak> !supergrubdisk
[09:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about supergrubdisk - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:31] <kelsin> prepuzio: yes we see you
[09:31] <eck> grub is the best
[09:31] <TheVault> I'm going to get me some grub lol
[09:31] <arrenlex> TheVault: Do you see something wrong with "I hate it because I don't know what I was doing"? xD
[09:31] <Flannel> prepuzio: yep
[09:31] <IndyGunFreak> Coffeegrindah: sorry, i suck wth Grub, if it wasn't for the fact Ubuntu does it automatically, i'd be lost..lol
[09:31] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: lol, later
[09:31] <scooterskin> hello, can anyone tell me which version would be best to install edgy or dapper?
[09:31] <prepuzio> thank you Flannel
[09:31] <xf00f> System->Preferences->Network Proxy probably
[09:31] <IndyGunFreak> !botsnack
[09:31] <ubotu> Yum!
[09:31] <eck> Coffeegrindah: what is your question, i will see if i can help
[09:32] <oo7> edgy = newer packages, but less stable, while dapper = stable packages, but not necessarily the newest
[09:32] <Coffeegrindah> hate to repeat a big question again, but i need it to point to the boot record on my USB drive, My machine won't natively do it
[09:32] <TheVault> arrenlex: When I first dual booted, I had no clue about ubuntu at the time, so when I deleted the linux partitions, grub did not let me boot back into Windows....but I know how to fix all that now, but it was a nightmare
[09:32] <Uggggg> anyone know how to make links I click in xchat open with firefox instead of terminal
[09:32] <eck> Coffeegrindah: if your bios cannot see the usb drive, neither can grub
[09:32] <scooterskin> thx
[09:32] <admin__> I need help installing Tor
[09:32] <IndyGunFreak> Tor?
[09:33] <arrenlex> !tor
[09:33] <eck> (it is in the grub documentation)
[09:33] <ubotu> tor: anonymizing overlay network for TCP. In component universe, is optional. Version <IP_ADDRESS>-1 (edgy), package size 763 kB, installed size 1556 kB
[09:33] <admin__> This guide: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/11/02/how-to-install-tor-privoxy-kubuntu-606-610/
[09:33] <Uggggg> goodluck andmin
[09:33] <oo7> Uggggg, good question
[09:33] <Uggggg> I just use my windows box
[09:33] <globe> um...I set up an NFS share on a Ubuntu computer to dump a hard drive from a laptop running Ubuntu live.  I can connect to the share and I can write to it, but I can't move files from the mounted harddrive to the network because of user permissions. Any ideas how I can accomplish this?
[09:33] <st0n3cutt3r> minimec: I'm not sure how to do any of that, sorry about the delay I have college stuff to deal with
[09:33] <Uggggg> it was too much trouble to get tor working in ubuntu
[09:33] <Coffeegrindah> my bios "can" but won't for some reason..  it;s odd It says it will boot from a USB device, just not flashdrives
[09:33] <IndyGunFreak> Uggggg: whats it do?
[09:33] <Uggggg> TOR?
[09:33] <Uggggg> *_*
[09:33] <st0n3cutt3r> joshjosh: no, I went to bed like 8 hours ago, got up and started at it again 2 hours ago
[09:33] <admin__> said I need to comment out: logfile logfile and jarfile jarfile how do I do this?
[09:33] <Uggggg> tor.eff.org
[09:34] <Barbalander> i have problem with xorg. It freezes and looks like LSD drugs. Then the computer reboots.
[09:34] <gio> it
[09:34] <eck> Coffeegrindah: are you trying to put grub on your hard drive and have it boot from the flash drive, or putting it on the flash drive itself?
[09:34] <Flannel> Uggggg: You can install Tor easily (it's in universe)
[09:34] <MalfermitaKodo> Hi, I wanted to know whether it is safe to shrink NTFS partitions using the Ubuntu installer
[09:34] <gio> italy
[09:34] <ncaller> Is there a package to install vmware-server with or only player?
[09:34] <Flannel> !it | gio
[09:34] <ubotu> gio: Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[09:34] <Uggggg> not the latest version
[09:34] <Uggggg> like 10 year old versions
[09:34] <Uggggg> maybe
[09:34] <gays> If i buy a domain, what else do it need to get it to point to my dedicated server? =p
[09:35] <oo7> gays: dns
[09:35] <minimec> st0n3cutt3r: sudo apt-get install network-manager network-manager-gnome
[09:35] <ncaller> so best to just go download it
[09:35] <oo7> see afraid.org
[09:35] <gays> oo7: Ok, do they provide it for free?
[09:35] <kelsin> admin__: that guide tells you to edit some files (it uses vim, you can use gedit) and then comment some lines, it depends on the format of those files you're editing. It should be pretty easy to figure out what the comment format is
[09:35] <oo7> yes
[09:35] <oo7> or you can setup your own
[09:35] <Coffeegrindah> ech: well I've actually have it on my thumbdrive (installed at work) I need my local grub, to point to that
[09:35] <kelsin> admin__: if that guide is confusing to you, Tor is probably not something you need to mess with
[09:35] <gays> oo7: ok thanks :D
[09:35] <eck> gays: some registrars will do it for you
[09:35] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: is there anyway to fix the choppy playback of flash videos? Like when I am on youtube, its all choppy
[09:35] <minimec> st0n3cutt3r: The next time you start your gnome session you should have a new applet in the taskbar, where you can configure your device.
[09:35] <Uggggg> tor is easy to install and setup in windows
[09:35] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: I don't know, i've never had that problem.
[09:36] <arrenlex> TheVault: 7 or 9?
[09:36] <TheVault> 9
[09:36] <Uggggg> I just use vnc to remotely use it via a win2k box
[09:36] <TheVault> arrenlex: I have nine
[09:36] <Flannel> Uggggg: no, they're not old.
[09:36] <admin__> ok, but I don't see the "logfile logfile" nor the "jarfile jarfile" string
[09:36] <oo7> gays: to be honest, i personally know that afraid.org has a vuln and a select few can create or edit any entries to any domains hosted at afraid.org
[09:36] <MalfermitaKodo> no one can tell me about that?
[09:36] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: Flash works fine for me.
[09:36] <Uggggg> hahah
[09:36] <eck> Coffeegrindah: you only need grub in one place, either on your hard drive or on the flash drive (there is no need to chainload it)
[09:36] <Uggggg> yeah they are
[09:36] <Uggggg> i just checked
[09:36] <kelsin> admin__: pastebin the file you're editing
[09:36] <Uggggg> like min 4 versions behind
[09:37] <kelsin> !pastebin > admin__
[09:37] <Flannel> Uggggg: Edgy has <IP_ADDRESS> and Dapper has <IP_ADDRESS>, Those are right on schedule for when they were released
[09:37] <eck> Coffeegrindah: i would try just booting off the flash drive, since that is a bit easier
[09:37] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Hmmm, maybe its my computer
[09:37] <Coffeegrindah> eck i cant
[09:37] <gays> Ok, but i bought a domain from godaddy, i selected paypal. but i havent paid anything for it yet. How long time does it take before i get a confirmation mail? =\
[09:37] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: maybe...
[09:37] <Coffeegrindah> thats why I'm here
[09:37] <Coffeegrindah> :)
[09:37] <oo7> gays: 2 minutes maybe
[09:37] <Uggggg> running an older tor client is just asking for trouble
[09:37] <zcat[1] > how do I "repair" having used the nvidia installer? I've tried to delete them manually, and reinstall nvidia-glx, restricted-modules and xserver-xorg-nv but when I reboot I still have to manually modprobe nvidia before I can get X to start and most of the time it still won't run properly. At the moment I'm using the 'nv' driver.
[09:37] <eck> Coffeegrindah: well, it's an issue that you have to work out with your bios :-)
[09:37] <TheVault> No offense, but paypal SUX
[09:37] <Flannel> Uggggg: Ubuntu freezes the versions of any software it's released with.  After that, only bugfixes and security patches are backported
[09:38] <IndyGunFreak> i hate paypal
[09:38] <Uggggg> lol if then...
[09:38] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: They shut down my account for no apparent reason
[09:38] <gays> oo7: Hmm, i ordered for a few hours ago. But after i setup the billing agreement it said "Order is already placed" or something =\
[09:38] <Uggggg> its a feature to run old versions not a bug
[09:38] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: well, my reasons for not liking them, are really political(they are rabidly antigun, along with Ebay)/...
[09:38] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: My friend had the same problem
[09:38] <Flannel> Uggggg: you'd want to check the changelogs to see what bugs have been fixed.  If the subsequent releases are all just bugfixes, then in theory, the versions in dapper and edgy are identical to the newest release
[09:38] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: does this video work
[09:38] <IndyGunFreak> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgZQ_It0weI
[09:38] <billymeter> gays: I had my domain up and running from them in about 10 minutes after I paid
[09:39] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Lemme try
[09:39] <Coffeegrindah> eck: but if I can just point it to the kernel on /dev/sdb1 then I could bypass the secondary GRUB couldn't I?
[09:39] <kiran> Hi, I'm using edgy on a Dell inspiron 6400 with ATI X1400, but just can't find a way to install my drivers, could someone help me plz?
[09:39] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: thats my favorite youtube video ever...lol
[09:39] <TheVault> I LOVE THAT VIDEO INDYGUNFREAK
[09:39] <TheVault> its funny and true
[09:39] <IndyGunFreak> hd
[09:39] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[09:39] <st0n3cutt3r> minimec: how can I do that if I am not connected to the internet in the first place?
[09:39] <Coffeegrindah> eck; I need it on the flash drive to boot remotely, but I need it locally to well.. boot
[09:39] <eck> Coffeegrindah: yes, in theory you could, but i doubt it will work if you can't boot from the device itself; to do so you would need to make sure you have it as a grub device, instructions to do that are here: http://www.novell.com/documentation/suse91/suselinux-adminguide/html/ch07s04.html
[09:40] <admin__> logfile= http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8670/
[09:40] <gays> billymeter: Hmm, maybe i did something wrong. I had a hard time registring an account =P I think ill try again=P
[09:40] <Uggggg> http://tor.eff.org/docs/tor-doc-unix.html.en
[09:40] <aschwo> hey, i've got some problems getting ubuntu to recognize my SATA HD on a 965p chipset mobo, can anyoen help me out?
[09:40] <eck> Coffeegrindah: basically you need to make sure grub can see the device when you're in a grub shell, and make sure there is a device mapped to it
[09:40] <billymeter> gays: I'd suggest checking oyur Paypal account to see if the payment went through
[09:40] <Coffeegrindah> eck: cool I'll check it out ..
[09:40] <Coffeegrindah> thanks
[09:40] <minimec> st0n3cutt3r: Ok. There is a network-setting in your settings menu. There you should see the new wireless device.
[09:40] <billymeter> gays: If it did, try talking to the customer service folks
[09:41] <linux_kid> How do i find the version of pcl on a windows printer?
[09:41] <TheVault> keep seeing this thing jumping up and down lol
[09:41] <teeL> ops didnt notice the nick >.<
[09:41] <eck> Coffeegrindah: especially look at section 7.4.2
[09:41] <renu> hey people, i wanna upgrade from dapper to edgy, but the update manager doesn't show me that there is a needed update (and i don't wanna do it in the terminal as there are warnings that can mess up the comp)... so what do you recommend me? is it ok if i wait for the stable version of feisty?
[09:41] <Coffeegrindah> already there :)
[09:41] <teeL> billymeter: I didnt get to any paypal confirmation or anything like that.. ill try support.
[09:42] <st0n3cutt3r> minimec: I can see the wireless device and even configure it, but it can't find the network for some reason :/
[09:42] <renu> anybody? :d
[09:42] <billymeter> teeL: You should be able to log in and view your account history. If you see that GoDaddy charged you, then well they have your money. If not, then maybe something happened and you have to do another transaction.
[09:42] <mdasilva> yo
[09:42] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Mac killed my inner child LOL
[09:42] <Remorse_> hi
[09:42] <Flannel> renu: gksu "update-manager -c"
[09:42] <billymeter> I <3 Macintosh
[09:42] <Uggggg> I just got openoffice 2.1 working... the fonts don't look like squiggles anymore  YAY!!!!
[09:42] <Flannel> renu: Since Dapper is a LTS, it won't nag you about Edgy unless you ask (with the -c)
[09:43] <TheVault> uggggg: Congrats
[09:43] <renu> Flannel, that's what I did, but then i get a message saying my system is up to date
[09:43] <jexdawg> how can i configure the mplayer plug-in to play .wmvs, quicktime files, and files other than just flash, which is all it handles now? basically, where can i edit what the mplayer plugin handles? please help, its a huge pain not being able to stream any file type that isn't flash.
[09:43] <mdasilva> out of interest
[09:43] <Remorse_> unsure
[09:43] <Uggggg> jex automatix will install all the crud
[09:43] <Flannel> renu: you didn't add the -c probably
[09:43] <Uggggg> even though everyone here will tell you it will kill your rig
[09:43] <arrenlex> jexdawg: mplayerplug-in doesn't handle flash. o_O
[09:43] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: lol.. i know, its hilarious
[09:43] <Flannel> Uggggg: please don't recommend automatix here.
[09:43] <renu> Flannel, but i did :)
[09:43] <minimec> st0n3cutt3r: you will not find any network with this. you may want to search a network on a console with the appropriate tool. one moment please ...
[09:43] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: But I can relate to that video
[09:43] <IndyGunFreak> !automatix
[09:43] <ubotu> 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
[09:43] <jexdawg> well, i'm a liar, i coudln't remember exactly what it does play so i said flash. anyways, haha, it still doesn't play .wmvs and i'd like it too.
[09:43] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: really?.. i never used a mac
[09:43] <renu> i typed in the terminal sudo upadate manager -c -d
[09:44] <teeL> billymeter: Nope, its not in the history..
[09:44] <Uggggg> !worksforeveryone
[09:44] <Uggggg> haha
[09:44] <IndyGunFreak> !justworks
[09:44] <coshx> is there a good tutorial/wiki for writing a deb package for ubuntu? been searching google, but the ones i've found seem out of date.
[09:44] <arrenlex> jexdawg: go to about:plugins in firefox and pastebin the entire page, please.
[09:44] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about justworks - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:44] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Yeah, I use one everyday at school for my Multimedia Class
[09:44] <arrenlex> !pastebin | jexdawg

[09:44] <joshjosh> gstreamer lets you play wmv
[09:44] <jexdawg> ok
[09:44] <minimec> st0n3cutt3r: iwspy is the tool.
[09:44] <TheVault> Only thing I like about the Mac is the Dock
[09:44] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[09:44] <admin__> thx
[09:44] <joshjosh> TheVault: HAH!
[09:44] <IndyGunFreak> i gues everything has to have some redeeming qualities.
[09:44] <billymeter> teeL: Then the transaction most likely didn't go through. Try registering it again.
[09:45] <TheVault> joshjosh: What?
[09:45] <IndyGunFreak> Uggggg: do you use automatix?
[09:45] <kelsin> coshx: the best place I found is the New Maintainers Guide on the debian documentation page. Still, deb's been around so long it's tough to find a good basic guide :-(
[09:45] <joshjosh> TheVault: There's alot of things to like about the mac. I hate the dock personally
[09:45] <minimec> st0n3cutt3r: iwspy eth0 or so ...
[09:45] <Uggggg> yes on over 20 machines
[09:45] <coshx> kelsin: thanks. i'll check it out.
[09:45] <Uggggg> no problems
[09:45] <Flannel> renu: er, no -d, that's if you're on edgy and wan to upgrade to feisty (while still unstable).  You should use gksu not sudo, but I don't think that'd cause the problem.    Please do not recommend it here.
[09:45] <TheVault> BrendanM: I have not a clue how to set it up
[09:46] <Uggggg> lol
[09:46] <jexdawg> arrenlex: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8671/ <- my about:plugins
[09:46] <TheVault> joshjosh: nothing at the moment, just made a new panel with the "Look alike feel" but no magification thing on the right of my screen
[09:46] <renu> Flannel, I have edgy cd, and I could upadet from the cd, but I'm afraid that the programs on the cd are not latest versions compared to what I have on my laptop (with usual updates for dapper)... so do you think such an update would make sense...?
[09:46] <minimec> st0n3cutt3r: I have to correct myself type iwlist eth0 scanning
[09:46] <joshjosh> TheVault: You try gdesklets? They have a toolbar launcher
[09:46] <Uggggg> flannel I throw down the gauntlet to you... show me one instance of a killed system (other than nvidia drivers)  by the newest build of automatix2
[09:46] <IndyGunFreak> Uggggg: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy   thats a better place to send them
[09:46] <sacater> i doubt it. but has anyone got a server they dont use, or care little about, if they do i am looking to use for free by remote, root would be prefered
[09:47] <arrenlex> jexdawg: remove the totem-mozilla package and everything will magically work for you.
[09:47] <IndyGunFreak> Uggggg: i've not even had issues with the Nvidia Driver, but thats another issue.
[09:47] <Flannel> IndyGunFreak: ubuntuguide isn't safe either.  (it wasnt, then it was, it is't again), send them to the wiki.
[09:47] <Barbalander> when i start xorg i get fanzy colors fading all over the screen. Then my computer reboots. I've used nvidia-config.
[09:47] <TheVault> joshjosh: thats not the same. I want it where I put my mouse over the icons, it does what the mac dock does
[09:47] <IndyGunFreak> Flannel: i don't know, i've had no issues with that wiki, and i always give it to folks
[09:47] <joshjosh> TheVault; The toolbar launcher has magnification, but it looks stupid. Sounds like you want something like kiba
[09:47] <joshjosh> TheVault: What vers of ubuntu you running?
[09:48] <TheVault> joshjosh: 6.06
[09:48] <Flannel> IndyGunFreak: It's canon fr this channel again, not to use ubuntuguide anymore
[09:48] <jexdawg> i used automatix to install mplayer and several codecs - perhaps that constitutes the majority of my problem. should i uninstall them all (with automatix?) and just redo it via terminal?
[09:48] <renu> Flannel, I've just tried with gksu, but the same shit happens again :(
[09:48] <slew> is there a way to get a nifty little shadow behind the windows in gnome?
[09:48] <joshjosh> TheVault: Well, kiba's a bit tricky and you have to have beryl installed to use it...
[09:48] <arrenlex> jexdawg: Did you hear what I said?
[09:48] <Flannel> renu: pastebin your sources.list
[09:48] <IndyGunFreak> Flannel: first i've saw that
[09:48] <jexdawg> nope... sorry, i'll search for it
[09:48] <coshx> slew: beryl or the other xgl wm
[09:48] <arrenlex> (13:47:10) arrenlex: jexdawg: remove the totem-mozilla package and everything will magically work for you.
[09:48] <IndyGunFreak> Flannel: i've linked it a bazillion times
[09:48] <slew> coshx, neither
[09:48] <BrendanM> There's a ton of docks out there: http://www.gnome-dock.org/trac
[09:48] <TheVault> joshjosh: Well I don't have beryl installed nor do I think my graphics card could handel that
[09:49] <jexdawg> how does one go about removing the totem-mozilla package? (sorry, noob)
[09:49] <joshjosh> TheVault: Alright. Try the gdesklets toolbar launcher

[09:49] <jexdawg> i know how to use synaptic. alright, i'll give it a try, thanks arrenlex
[09:49] <TheVault> BreandanM: I seen that url but I did not think you could download that
[09:49] <TheVault> Don't know where to download it
[09:50] <renu> ok, thanks, ubotu!
[09:50] <arrenlex> jexdawg: Use synaptic to remove totem-mozilla.
[09:50] <joshjosh> TheVault: sudo apt-get install gdesklets
[09:50] <TheVault> joshjosh: wheres the homepage of gdesklets
[09:50] <joshjosh> It's basically a widget engine for gnome.
[09:50] <admin__> how do restart a process?
[09:50] <Flannel> admin__: which one?
[09:51] <teeL> billymeter: Should i register as Private or Public?
[09:51] <admin__> privoxy
[09:51] <joshjosh> it seems to be down at the moment
[09:51] <TheVault> nvm found the homepage of it
[09:51] <BrendanM> TheVault, sure why couldn't you download it?
[09:51] <Flannel> admin__: usually its a script in /etc/init.d/
[09:51] <billymeter> teeL: The domain name? Is it refering to the Whois information?
[09:51] <admin__> is it easier to just restart the computer?
[09:51] <globe> is it possible to give myself permission to mount & umount remote nfs shares?  I can only mount them as root and only access them as user (which I cant because they were mounted as root)
[09:51] <TheVault> BrendanM: where is the download link, Don't see it
[09:52] <kelsin> admin__: you're guide tells you: sudo /etc/init.d/privoxy restart
[09:52] <renu> Flannel, it's on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8675/
[09:52] <jexdawg> arrenlex, when i choose to uninstall totem-mozilla, synaptic says that i must also remove: ubuntu-desktop .... that seems kind of important, no?
[09:52] <BrendanM> TheVault, here's a forum thread by somebody who installed it: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=302570
[09:52] <teeL> billymeter: I think its the whois information. But it just says: Private or Public
[09:52] <TheVault> Thanks
[09:52] <dg1> Back later :) Good luck TheVault!
[09:52] <BrendanM> Here's for the other one: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=351281
[09:52] <admin__> how do I copy text from this program?
[09:53] <arrenlex> !ubuntu-desktop | jexdawg
[09:53] <ubotu> jexdawg: k/ed/x/ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage. It depends upon other packages and brings them in; you can safely remove it, but it is recommended that you re-install it when upgrading.
[09:53] <Codpair> um...is this where i can get help? my computer wont start without using live cd
[09:53] <billymeter> teeL: That's up to you. It's asking if it will put your personal information in the Whois database, or if you want to keep it private you'll register it through Domains By Proxy and it'll hide your personal information.
[09:53] <kelsin> admin__: what is "this program"
[09:53] <TheVault> Thanks guys for all the help, but I gotta go
[09:54] <TheVault> Thanks once again :)
[09:54] <Flannel> Codpair: what error do you get? (what have you done so far to your computer?)
[09:54] <kelsin> admin__: from most X programs you can select the text, then middle click where you want to paste

[09:54] <Codpair> (first time user)
[09:54] <teeL> billymeter: Ok, the private one is cheaper, and i dont need my personal information in the whois database =p But when i press Private it just adds the private domain, do i have to remove the other one?
[09:54] <Codpair> i installed it
[09:54] <LordLimecat> someone mentioned i should grab php, phpmyadmin, and apache

[09:55] <Jvik> wrong *
[09:55] <jexdawg> arrenlex, sorry for all the questions, but i just uninstalled totem-mozilla and ubuntu-desktop. afterwards, i went to reinstall ubunut-desktop and it says other changes must occur, including the installation of totem-mozilla. seems like i'm running in circles?
[09:55] <teeL> billymeter: Ok, i'll just take the public one ^^
[09:55] <Flannel> Uggggg: Mozilla has instructions on copying stuff over
[09:55] <rlevitin> I compiled it from source, and i need help with either fixing the crashing issue or uninstalling a source compiled program...
[09:55] <Jvik> Same message if i try to go places -> desktop
[09:55] <Flannel> renu: I don't know.  Looks like everything is in order.  You probably don't want to upgrade though, automatix is liable to break your system on upgrade.
[09:55] <arrenlex> jexdawg: Don't reinstall ubuntu-desktop.
[09:55] <jexdawg> alright. i imagine its not vital then?
[09:56] <Flannel> renu: actually, update-manager could be seeing the third party packages and refusing to upgrade... but, I don't know if it'd do that.
[09:56] <renu> Flannel, yes, that's what I'm afarid of too :d You think I should wait then for feisty?
[09:56] <arrenlex> jexdawg: It's a metapackage. It depends on other packages so you can install ubuntu-desktop rather than installing 5000 packages that ubuntu actually consists of. It itself doesn't actually contain anything.
[09:57] <Flannel> renu: Feisty won't be any better (unlessyou were planning on installing Feisty clean).  To upgrade to feisty, you'd still have to upgrade through edgy.
[09:57] <jexdawg> arrenlex: ah! okay, got it. thanks.
[09:57] <rlevitin> how do i uninstall packages compiled from source?
[09:57] <LordLimecat> nvm -_-

[09:57] <Jvik> My desktop has disappeared. The wallpaper is gone. When i try to use Places -> HDD1 i get the message :"There is no act associated to this location". Not sure if its exactly that it would be in english, because i have norwegian ubuntu. Same message if i enter Places -> Desktop. What is wrong? Please help me
[09:57] <arrenlex> rlevitin: execute make uninstall in the source directory. In the future, use checkinstall.
[09:57] <Codpair> dose anyone know what error 18 is?
[09:57] <arrenlex> !checkinstall | rlevitin
[09:57] <ubotu> rlevitin: checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[09:57] <teeL> billymeter: Im about to checkout now, but godaddy asks for "New PayPal Information. Please enter in a friendly name to identify this PayPal account: " I dont know what to type there
[09:57] <Flannel> rlevitin: make uninstall (if possible), otherwise delete all the files it installed.
[09:57] <renu> Flannel, and what if I update from the cd I have already? do you think that would be the best solution maybe?
[09:58] <billymeter> teeL: I think you put in your paypal username there.
[09:58] <teeL> ok
[09:58] <Flannel> renu: do you have the Desktop CD or the Altenrate CD?
[09:58] <rlevitin> Flannel: i dunno every file it installed
[09:58] <eck> Jvik: try entering 'mount' and seeing if the disk is mounted

[09:58] <illriginal> Hey guys, how come my character map doesn't have the n with the ~ above it? That's a hispanic/latin character
[09:58] <renu> i have a desktop one at the moment, but i can easily download the other one, if you that that'd be better
[09:58] <Flannel> rlevitin: you'll have to grab the source again.  This is why we use package management ;)
[09:58] <arrenlex> rlevitin: That's why you use checkinstall =P
[09:59] <Jvik> eck, is that the problem when i even cant find the desktop ?
[09:59] <kelsin> ussually compiles programs go into /usr/local (instead of /usr to keep /usr only system packages)

[09:59] <Markok765> NO PROBLEM
[09:59] <Ippatsu> Hi all! I'm using 6.10 and I have a problem with audacity: it doesn't show any text (screenshot: http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/2693/adacityym2.png ). I had the same problem also while installing Wolfenstein Enemy Territory, so I suppose it's a problem with libwxgtk - has anyone an idea on how I could fix it? Or: how can I restore *all* ubuntu fonts?
[09:59] <renu> Flannel,  i have a desktop one at the moment, but i can easily download the other one, if you that that'd be better (forgot to lighten you :)
[09:59] <jexdawg> arrenlex: i love you. i think mplayer is a pretty annoying and crappy plugin and poor replacement for windows media player and quicktime and stuff, but at least it works now. it still has to completely buffer before streaming, but at least it finally works. thanks a lot.
[09:59] <eck> Jvik: if you split up your install over more than one partition/device then if one of those goes away it could cause problems like that
[09:59] <Flannel> renu: I don't think it'd help anyway, probably the same issue you have now.  What you might want to do is check out launchpad.net for bugs in update-manager.  Someone might have had this same thing, and a workaround is available, or whatnot (or an explanation)
[09:59] <arrenlex> jexdawg: Don't be mean to mplayer. It owns my soul.
[10:00] <illriginal> Hey guys, how come my character map doesn't have the n with the ~ above it? That's a hispanic/latin character
[10:00] <Jvik> eck; i only use one partition
[10:00] <arrenlex> jexdawg: Shouldn't have to buffer completely. Can you right-click on a movie, go to preferences, and make a screenshot for me?
[10:00] <eck> Jvik: weird -- maybe you have filesystem corruption? look in /lost+found
[10:00] <Codpair> um...i cant start my comp w/o the live cd...i get an error every time i try
[10:00] <renu> ok, thanks Flannel!

[10:01] <green_> hi flannel, do u know how to configure k3b so it will erase dvd-rw's?
[10:01] <Flannel> Codpair: error 18 is "Selected cylinder exceeds maximum supported by BIOS", What's the layout of your partitions?
[10:01] <eck> Jvik: that is not necessary, just try sudo ls -la /lost+found/
[10:01] <Comrade-Sergei> how do i change the rights on a HDD (read, write etc) via a  command prompt?
[10:01] <eck> Jvik: if you can't open a terminal switch to a VT with ctrl-alt-f1
[10:01] <jexdawg> it is the devil, but the devil is hip, so its all good. anywho, why exactly was totem-mozilla bringing my video playing abilities to its knees?
[10:01] <rlevitin> arrenlex: checkinstall before i use make install? or instead of?
[10:01] <eck> Comrade-Sergei: what filesystem?
[10:01] <kelsin> Ippatsu: you aren't connecting with vnc are you?
[10:02] <Comrade-Sergei> eck fat32
[10:02] <arrenlex> rlevitin: Instead of. It makes a .deb package for you, which is then installed.
[10:02] <Jvik> eck,  can enter terminal
[10:02] <Codpair> flannel:i dont know, when i installed, i just said erase the hard drive
[10:02] <Ippatsu> kelsin: no, I'm not using vnc
[10:02] <arrenlex> rlevitin: ./configure, make, sudo checkinstall
[10:02] <jexdawg> sure arrenlex, one second
[10:02] <Jvik> eck, http://hashbin.com/2c8.html
[10:02] <eck> Comrade-Sergei: it is an option when you mount the filesystem, the details are in the mount man page (i think basically you have to mount it with uid=something)
[10:03] <Comrade-Sergei> eck its already mounted can i change it now?
[10:03] <eck> Jvik: it doesn't look like that is the case
[10:03] <globe> exit
[10:03] <eck> Jvik: i am not sure what the problem is, sorry
[10:03] <Flannel> Codpair: hmm.  Right, that shouldn't be an issue then, if you just let the installer take care of it.  Well, except that it obviously is.
[10:03] <eck> Comrade-Sergei: you have to do something like mount -o remount,uid=something /mnt/fat32
[10:03] <teeL> billymeter: Oh, its working now :D But is it possible to set up reverse dns to my dedicated server for free? =p
[10:03] <Markok765> How much FASTER will ubuntu be than a 2000 pro install?
[10:04] <Codpair> flannel:it happens while my computer is doing something like GRUB i think
[10:04] <Flannel> renu: another place you might look would be the forums (ubuntuforums.org)
[10:04] <eck> Markok765: if it is, probably not much faster
[10:04] <Shinoda> would anyone have any idea why sudo alsactl store 0 doesn't do its job between reboots (ie, snd settings are always reset)? it used to, but i experimented a bit with 2 cards and now it doesn't (and yes, 0 is the correct card index). tia for any help
[10:04] <illriginal> Hey guys, how come my character map doesn't have the n with the ~ above it? That's a hispanic/latin character
[10:04] <Markok765> eck: its a 226mhz with 64m ram laptop
[10:05] <eck> Markok765: it will be slow no matter what :-)
[10:05] <Comrade-Sergei> eck yea i changed that to mount -o remount,uid=something /HDD and it didnt do anything...
[10:05] <billymeter> teeL: I'm not sure if GoDaddy supports that or not. Might have to try using a service at DynDns.com or equivalent
[10:05] <eck> Markok765: _maybe_ you can load X + fluxbox without swapping, but good luck launching any apps that are useful to you
[10:05] <teeL> billymeter: Ah ok, ill try dyndns. Thanks for helping :)
[10:05] <arrenlex> !xubuntu | Markok765
[10:06] <ubotu> Markok765: xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce instead of Gnome. For more info, see http://www.xubuntu.org and http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Xubuntu/ - To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop". | For support, see #xubuntu | See also: !ubuntu and !xubuntu-channels
[10:06] <billymeter> teeL: No problem.
[10:06] <eck> Comrade-Sergei: look at the mount point and see if the ownership of files has changed
[10:06] <PocketIRC> I have an external Usb-harddrive. which format should I use on it if I want to use it in A)ubuntu or B)ubuntu and winxp
[10:06] <Sonderblade> illriginal: maybe because it is two characters
[10:06] <Comrade-Sergei> eck its still root
[10:06] <eck> arrenlex: 64 MB is not even close to enough for xubuntu
[10:06] <arrenlex> PocketIRC: fat32
[10:06] <Flannel> Codpair: yeah, that's a GRUB error.  Since youre obviously in reinstalling mode... try reinstalling, when asked about partitioning, create a small one (~50MB) for /boot and then a second one for the rest (/)
[10:06] <HymnToLife> PocketIRC, ext3
[10:06] <jexdawg> arrenlex: my mplayer preferences --> http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d148/whytfnot/Screenshot-mplayerplug-inconfigurat.png
[10:06] <illriginal> Oh windows it's just a character.
[10:06] <Markok765> arrenlex: i have tried that, and it wont let me connect to the internet. ubuntu works on my 3ghz with 1GB ram machine very well
[10:07] <illriginal> LIke I said that character is used in both spanish and latin.
[10:07] <illriginal> it's just 1 character.
[10:07] <Codpair> ok, ill try that
[10:07] <eck> Comrade-Sergei: check that it took properly by just issuing the mount command
[10:07] <Flannel> Codpair: just make sure that the /boot is the first partition on the drive (hda1)
[10:07] <kelsin> illriginal: I found it by selecting "By Unicode BlocK" from View and then looking in the Latin-1 Supplement block
[10:07] <cedric30> ? I have a big problem, I had to shut down my computer badly and now gnome is very long too start and all the windows i open are long too, I had some errors on my disk using fsck and now I have no error but it is ever long
[10:07] <cedric30> ?
[10:07] <eck> illriginal: can you enter it without going through the character map, e.g. with copy and paste?
 why?
[10:08] <Markok765> Can you launch ubuntu from a usb drive?
[10:08] <illriginal> wait.. kelsin it's in the character map? and select unicode block?
 why ext3?
[10:08] <cedric30> Someone have ever had this prob?
[10:08] <Coffeegrindah> Markok765 yes ..
[10:08] <eck> Comrade-Sergei: no, just 'mount'
[10:08] <Comrade-Sergei> Markok765 yes if your mobo supports it
[10:08] <illriginal> YES!!!!
[10:08] <cusco> Markok765: if your bios supports booting from a usb flash drive,yes
[10:08] <HymnToLife> PocketIRC, because FAT32 is old and ugly
[10:08] <illriginal> kelsin you rock!!!
[10:08] <illriginal> thanks a lot man... finally i found it lol
[10:08] <kelsin> illriginal: I think that is a common character so it's way lower in the unicode spec then others, I don't understand it fully though
[10:08] <arrenlex> PocketIRC: 'cause you said you wanted to share it with winxp, which can't read ext3 without special drivers.
[10:09] <illriginal> heh
[10:09] <cedric30> Someone could help me to find a solution without re install all
[10:09] <cedric30> ?
[10:09] <Markok765> cusco: Do i have to set any flags, eg boot flag, and will it install directly to usb?
[10:09] <HymnToLife> arrenlex, so ? just install them
[10:09] <factotum> so you think there will ever be an actual manual or docs for using QTParted?
[10:09] <riotkittie> cedric30: solution for what?
[10:09] <cedric30> I have done a fsck 3 times
[10:09] <factotum> I just installed it and cant find anything on how it works
[10:09] <illriginal> kelsin
[10:09] <arrenlex> HymnToLife: It's a USB drive. So I assume it'll be taken to many computers. He'd have to install special drivers on them all. No guarantee he'd have permissions to do it on them all, either.
[10:09] <cedric30> riotkittie: the start of gnome is very long
[10:09] <illriginal> what combination of numbers/letters/keys do i need to press in order to use it?
[10:09] <cr4z3d> where should i go to ask questions about customizing ubuntu? (login screen, themes ect)
[10:10] <PocketIRC> ok so if I share my external with XP=fat32    just ubuntu=ext3?
[10:10] <cedric30> riotkittie: My system had crash and I had to shutdown
[10:10] <wastedtime> hi , i am trying to use a kubuntu live cd on an intel 945 Gm , i reconfigure xserver .. and the screen loads up....and i get a blank screen with a pointer
[10:10] <wastedtime> any suggestions
[10:10] <Coffeegrindah> Markok765 - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent?highlight=%28liveusb%29
[10:10] <kelsin> illriginal: I think you can click and drag it from char map, past that I have no idea
[10:10] <illriginal> oh ok
[10:10] <illriginal> thanks kelsin
[10:10] <cedric30> riotkittie: now the start of gnome and soft are very long
[10:10] <oo7> so i accidently deleted my fstab...i just manually recreated it.  time to reboot.  wish me luck.
[10:11] <cogeno> How do you accidentily delete your fstab...
[10:11] <oo7> so you want the story....
[10:11] <cedric30> riotkittie: I have made a fsck 3times and it had corrected some errors....
[10:11] <Flannel> cogeno: running as root, because you're silly
[10:11] <cedric30> riotkittie: but it's ever long
[10:11] <Markok765> cogeno: i once deleted the firmware of my mp3 player, i returned it
[10:11] <arrenlex> jexdawg: Looks fine, except that you should set your video driver to x11, audio to alsa, and check "connect to rtsp media over tcp". But this won't change the buffering, just compatibility.
[10:11] <Markok765> OH GOD MY LAPTOP IS SLOW
[10:11] <riotkittie> cedric30: oh. no clue, sorry.
[10:11] <PocketIRC> ext3, ext2 what difference ?
[10:11] <arrenlex> Markok765: This the 233mhz laptop?
[10:11] <cogeno> Markok765: I've done that several time on my chipod. I just restored it :D
[10:11] <factotum> anyone know how to resize a partition on qtparted? the option is greyed out for some reason, even as root
[10:12] <cedric30> Markok765: Me too
[10:12] <arrenlex> Markok765: When did you come to this realisation?
[10:12] <kelsin> illriginal: you hold down ctrl and shift, then type F1 then let go aparently
[10:12] <oo7> i was downloading a torrent, which i thoguht was to a large partition, but the large partition wasn't mounted, so it was being downloaded to my / partition.  so overnight it filled up the HD.  so this morning i was wondering why the partition wasn't mounted, so i edited my fstab, while my HD was completly full.  when i saved my fstab, it was saved as an empty file and i lost the data within.  pretty shitty eh?
[10:12] <Flannel> factotum: You can't resize mounted partitions.  that's most likely why.
[10:12] <kelsin> illriginal: (that's 'f' then '1', not the f1 key)
[10:12] <illriginal> oh lol
[10:12] <illriginal> hold on
[10:12] <riotkittie> cedric30: do you have any other accounts on the computer? can you log in as another user and see if the  slowness affects that account, too?
[10:12] <Coffeegrindah> eck: yeah looks like my machine doesn't like even looking at the drive..  see's my USB HDD no problem though..
[10:13] <illriginal> Nah doesn't work
[10:13] <cedric30> riotkittie: no no other account
[10:13] <kelsin> illriginal: (it's working for me in gedit and gnome-terminal)
[10:13] <Coffeegrindah> eck: as far as using my persistant home I *can* still do it though, I just need to use my livecd
[10:13] <illriginal> at least not on x chat
[10:13] <factotum> Flannel: oh alright, I wish they would include that in their documentation, oh wait ther isn't any
[10:13] <Coffeegrindah> boourns
[10:13] <illriginal> ok hold on
[10:13] <arrenlex> oo7: If you boot from the liveCD, you can mount your target partition, clean it out, and recreate the ftsab from the one made by the cd.
[10:13] <Markok765> arrenlex: yes
[10:13] <eck> Coffeegrindah: gross, some bioses actually make a distinction between different kinds of usb devices... i have a computer that has boot options for different kinds of usb devices, even though they should all reallly be the same
[10:13] <oo7> i manually recreated it
[10:13] <kelsin> illriginal:  and since irssi is in gnome terminal, here too
[10:13] <whazilla> how do i install Qt >= 3.3 ?
[10:13] <Markok765> cogeno: it was a gameboy advance sp mp3 player
[10:13] <arrenlex> whazilla: apt-get install libqt3-mt
[10:14] <oo7> with with out the UID numbers, i used the /dev/ location
[10:14] <factotum> wondeful, i get to whipe the hard drive all over again, again.
[10:14] <Jvik> When i start up computer the content in desktop is gone and wallpaper is gone and when i try to enter places -> Desktop i get the error "Can't open file:///home/jvik/Desktop" "There is no act associated to this location" I have norwegian ubuntu, so i transelated it myself.  :\ I get the same message when i try to enter my harddrives.
[10:14] <cedric30> riotkittie: it's come from my PC crash and now all is very long to start someone tell my it's come from my system file and I have to format ....
[10:14] <arrenlex> whazilla: Or are you compiling a QT app? If so, apt-get install install kdelibs4-dev
[10:14] <Coffeegrindah> eck: yeah .. my laptop at work treat my USB HDD as a SCSI external, my flash drive as a flash drive, both work fine their though .. I was hoping .. meh .. of well I only need it when I'm at work anyway
[10:14] <cedric30> riotkittie: but I can't save all my partition
[10:15] <whazilla> checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0.3) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!

[10:15] <WarDog> hi
[10:15] <joshjosh> What do you guys think of Epiphany now?
[10:15] <riotkittie> cedric30: formatting seems drastic. if you are outside of X, like in console, is it slow there as well?
[10:15] <kelsin> illriginal: hold down ctrl+shirt while you press f, then 1, the let go of ctrl+shift
[10:15] <Coffeegrindah> eck: thanks anyways I'm off to work
[10:15] <cedric30> riotkittie: in console no
[10:16] <jexdawg> arrenlex: thanks a lot. you've got my problems completely solved, :)
[10:16] <illriginal> Nah doesn't work for some odd reason.
[10:16] <cedric30> riotkittie: just for some graphic application
[10:16] <whazilla> BOLABO-007:~/kommander/quanta-3.1.2-kde30$ sudo apt-get install install kdelibs4-dev

[10:16] <arrenlex> jexdawg: yw. Don't be mean to mplayer. It's fantastic.
[10:16] <WarDog> anyone here tried the alternate installer cd of feisty herd 5?
[10:16] <meatmanek> k, I'm trying to find a distro to recommend to a friend who wants to try linux. Does Ubuntu's installer allow easy partition resizing?
[10:16] <whazilla> arrenlex:  could not find packet
[10:16] <kelsin> illriginal: http://www.pthree.org/2006/11/30/its-unicode-baby/
[10:16] <mc44> WarDog: try in #ubuntu+1
[10:16] <arrenlex> !kdelibs4-dev | whazilla
[10:16] <kelsin> illriginal: you can try that too,  is U00F1
[10:16] <illriginal> it says U+00F1
[10:16] <ubotu> whazilla: kdelibs4-dev: development files for the KDE core libraries. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.5-0ubuntu3.1 (edgy), package size 1311 kB, installed size 7468 kB
[10:17] <Ferret> meatmanek: All the linux distros with graphical installers likely have gparted on them
[10:17] <WarDog> cause i got a big problem with the partitioner... problem is: wont work
[10:17] <illriginal> how do i do that?

[10:19] <oo7> fstab worked
[10:19] <oo7> :)
[10:19] <Markok765> sorry everyone
[10:19] <Ferret> Mark17: Depends what kind of warning message, and where you're seeing it.
[10:19] <Markok765> Ferret: i thought it would work
[10:19] <Mark17> !Warning Azureus did not shutdown tidily....... (i need to close this but i can't close it normally)

[10:22] <WarDog> ok, can anyone tell my why the feisty herd 5 alternate installer crashes when you try to use a NOT guieded partitioning mehtod? and: is there a workaround?

[10:23] <mc44> riotkittie: because early adopters deserve to suffer
[10:23] <MaartenLx> not sure if thats free though
[10:24] <Ferret> lorenz: It should just be as easy as -- install ntfs-3g and fuse, add a line to fstab that's the same as a normal vfat/ntfs type line except with 'ntfs-3g' as the filesystem
[10:24] <keir_> but i'm new to linux so really wanted someon eno msn or something that could talk me thru it

[10:24] <jexdawg> arrenlex: nevermind - i think it was just the video i was watching was naturally bad quality.... is there a reason, however, that mplayer doesn't have volume controls?
[10:24] <kelsin> Msword: Daemon tool sis a free windows program that will "add" a fake cdrom drive to your computer and let you mount a iso
[10:24] <lorenz> thanks hermans and ferret
[10:24] <Msword> poweriso costs money
[10:24] <lorenz> @keir_: I heard this helped many people http://lhansen.blogspot.com/2006/10/3d-desktop-beryl-and-xgl-on-ubuntu-edgy.html
[10:24] <arrenlex> jexdawg: No, that it doesn't. But your operating system has volume controls.

[10:27] <leeba> thanks
[10:27] <MaartenLx> well thats for windows actually :P
[10:27] <leeba> yesyesyes
[10:27] <riotkittie> mount  a partition on a usb drive? or mount a ntfs partition on a usb drive rw?
[10:27] <joshjosh> wouldn't that slow it down?
[10:28] <joshjosh> crowdeer: What do you need?

[10:28] <crowdeer> I just installed and cant get my dial up modem to work
[10:28] <lorenz> mount an usb drive that is in the ntfs format
[10:28] <lorenz> I want to save my data on it, but cannot write on it
[10:28] <matej> what i must install to play sound when i go over the icon of mp3 file?
[10:28] <leeba> i have ubuntu6.1 server set up and chose LAMPP
[10:28] <joshjosh> crowdeer: what kind of modem is it?
[10:28] <kelsin> joshjosh: wine does emulate windows, it adds the windows api, if a program works in wine, it normally runs fine (I play war3 and wow in wine all the time)
[10:28] <crowdeer> lucent on my ibm laptop
[10:28] <leeba> but I need to add gui since i am not too well versed in command line
[10:28] <joshjosh> crowdeer: go to terminal and type lspci and see if you can see it in there somewhere
[10:28] <Marupa> matej, use ESD.
[10:28] <leeba> how do I do that?
[10:29] <joshjosh> kelsin: I know all about wine. But I was thinking it'd be kinda laggy. I dunno
[10:29] <matej> Marupa, i have selected it, but nothing
[10:29] <urgit> hi, I'm trying to compile usb-rndis-lite in ubuntu dapper but I get some errors, someone can help me
[10:29] <kelsin> leeba: if you want the FULL gui: sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop
[10:29] <Marupa> matej:  Is your soundcard in use?
[10:29] <crowdeer> ok josh where is terminal I am a newbie here'
[10:29] <matej> Marupa, and i have hardware mixing enabled card
[10:29] <Marupa> So do I, but linux doesn't use it.
[10:29] <Ferret> lorenz: A USB drive with NTFS on it?  Unusual...
[10:29] <leeba> so type in sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop?
[10:30] <joshjosh> applications> accessories> terminal
[10:30] <kelsin> leeba: that will install the normal ubuntu desktop yep :)
[10:30] <riotkittie> lorenz: ok, youre going to need to set up ntfs-3g to enable read write to ntfs ...  or use the fat32 sys, or a linux friendly fs. ntfs3g is probably the better option but writing to ntfs from linux is still considered beta, and you risk data loss.
[10:30] <crowdeer> ok brb will look
[10:30] <leeba> kelsin: i am not having any luck with the command to add my ip info
[10:30] <Ferret> lorenz: Anyhow, if you look on the wiki or the forums for instructions for a normal USB pen drive (which will probably use vfat as the filesystem type), you should be able to follow them almost completely, except specify ntfs-3g as the type
[10:30] <joshjosh> how hard is it to set up WoW in Wine btw?
[10:30] <leeba> to get on line to add that desktop
[10:30] <matej> Marupa, btw, do i have to install alsa-utils? Couse i have sound without it?
[10:31] <arrenlex> !wow | joshjosh
[10:31] <ubotu> joshjosh: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php and ubuntugames.org
[10:31] <lorenz> thank you ferret, will do
[10:31] <kelsin> joshjosh: with new wine (> 9.28) easy, runs out of the box (at least did for me)
[10:31] <Marupa> matej = If you use ESD and only ESD, everything should be fine.
[10:31] <joshjosh> kelsin: awesome. i'll have to check it out
[10:31] <lorenz> thanks too riotkittie as well - unfortunately I'll have to use that ntfs hard disk
[10:31] <leeba> This is a great place to find!!!
[10:31] <crowdeer> ok it shows an LT winModem
[10:31] <kelsin> joshjosh: I copied over my windows install and ran it, make sure to use the -opengl flag or set opengl in your wow config file, just look up the game on winehq.com in the appdb, lots of info there
[10:32] <leeba> i set up a root username and password asl well.
[10:32] <crowdeer> josh also has ethernet controller which I am using right now
[10:35] <leeba> when I first login, what command do I put in to add my infomation to connect on line?
[10:35] <crowdeer> I lost Josh
[10:35] <crowdeer> can anybody else help me with dial up modem
[10:36] <riotkittie> not me. i havent seen a modem in years. :P
[10:36] <riotkittie> though i should buy a pcmcia modem card for my laptop, just in case. on the other hand, i dont have a phone line. heh.
[10:37] <arrenlex> Marupa: What brand?
[10:37] <Marupa> arrenlex, Mustek.
[10:37] <wastedtime> hi , i am trying to use a kubuntu live cd on an intel 945 Gm , i reconfigure xserver .. and the screen loads up....and i get a blank screen with a pointer
[10:37] <arrenlex> Marupa: Isn't that a large animal used to pull carts?
[10:37] <wastedtime> an suggestions
[10:37] <Marupa> arrenlex, Har har.
[10:38] <Jowi> leeba, depends on your connection. "sudo pppoeconf" can be used to configure pppoe/pppoa dsl connections. "sudo network-admin" for general connection options.
[10:39] <Jowi> !dsl | leeba
[10:39] <ubotu> leeba: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[10:39] <wastedtime> hi , i am trying to use a kubuntu live cd on an intel 945 Gm , i reconfigure xserver .. and the screen loads up....and i get a blank screen with a pointer..any suggestions ??
[10:39] <crowdeer> are there any techs in here
[10:39] <gleaken> attempting to upgrade to edgy from dapper installation and upgrade-manager -c does not show upgrade button, any suggestions?  Tried reinstalling vte stuff and got nowhere.  There is no error with apt and I even tried disabling all other repositories
[10:40] <Jowi> wastedtime, 945GM is a bit special. not sure with live cd. the package 915resolution need to be installed and you need to use the i810 driver for xorg
[10:40] <GekiPink> Hey all <3
[10:41] <wastedtime> i did actually
[10:41] <wastedtime> still does not seem to work
[10:41] <crowdeer> need help configuring dial up with modem
[10:41] <Jowi> wastedtime, for 915resolution to work a reboot is required (at least for me) that's why I'm unsure how it works with the live cd.
[10:41] <GekiPink> I just booted into a Feisty Herd 5 virtual machine... It's so pretty.
[10:41] <wastedtime> oh
[10:42] <lu-bao> is it normal in xchat-gnome that i cant see users list on right side that its just hided and i cant open it?
[10:42] <oo7> a reboot is rarely required only for a new kernel
[10:42] <fjardt> Where is my Xconfig located?
[10:42] <rlevitin> how do i find which directory holds the C header files that match my running kernel?
[10:42] <lu-bao> omg....
[10:42] <oo7> there's a command that is added to your startup, if you run it, there's no need to reboot
[10:42] <oo7> rlevitin, vmware related?
[10:42] <rlevitin> yes
[10:42] <lu-bao> is it normal in xchat-gnome that i cant see users list on right side that its just hided and i cant open it?
[10:42] <oo7> fjardt, /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[10:43] <Jowi> wastedtime, I was limited to 1024x768 before the reboot.
[10:43] <fjardt> oo7: thanks
[10:43] <oo7> past me in a /msg the error
[10:43] <GekiPink> I haven't been on Ubuntu in ages... it stopped letting me install new versions after... 5.10.
[10:43] <a5c> I have a quick question, I used wget to download a ubuntu iso, but it split it into many pieces "ubuntu.1 ubuntu.1.1 etc." how would I join them? You don't have to answer, I can just go elsewhere.
[10:43] <rlevitin> oo7: im trying to install vmware... but i dunno where my C header files for my kernel are
[10:44] <oo7> it's asking you, right?  then it has a default in []  brackets?
[10:44] <Jowi> fjardt, /etc/X11/xorg.conf is what you're looking for?
[10:44] <Jowi> fjardt, sorry, didn't see oo7 answer
[10:44] <rlevitin> oo7: yeah but that folder is empty
[10:44] <oo7> what is the folder?  and what are the results of "uname -a"
[10:44] <happyface0> guys, should nvidia-xconfig be available once nvidia drivers are installed?
[10:44] <oo7> a5c, that's weird, what wget command did you use?
[10:45] <Jowi> !find nvidia-xconfig
[10:45] <ubotu> Found: nvidia-xconfig
[10:45] <a5c> just wget 'http:// ... "
[10:45] <fjardt> Jowi: is there a way to get the default xorg.conf that ubuntu comes with? when i booted up this morning everything was funky
[10:45] <a5c> of course with an actual link
[10:45] <oo7> it shouldn't split up, sometimes what happens is, if you DL the exact same file twice, the second file will have a .1 appended
[10:45] <oo7> does that sound familar?
[10:45] <gio> italy
[10:45] <rlevitin> oo7: /usr/src/linux/include is the folder, "Linux rlevitin-desktop 2.6.15-28-686 #1 SMP PREEMPT Thu Feb 1 16:14:07 UTC 2007 i686 GNU/Linux" is the uname -a
[10:46] <Jowi> fjardt, not if you didn't back it up. but you can rerun the setup with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[10:46] <fjardt> Jowi: ok, thanks
[10:46] <a5c> no what happend is it reconnected in the middle and put the new connection in a new file
[10:46] <riotkittie> I want to play with Beryl :( ... which brings me to my Next Really Stupid Question!
[10:46] <Marupa> riotkittie, Shoot!
[10:47] <Jowi> happyface0, to answer the question you need to install the "nvidia-xconfig" package
[10:47] <rlevitin> oo7: i probably just need to download the src files for my kernel right?
[10:47] <oo7> try : /lib/modules/2.6.15-28-686/include
[10:47] <fjardt> Does this look like a video card? 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc 3D Rage LT Pro AGP-133 (rev dc)
[10:48] <Marupa> fjardt, Yes.
[10:48] <Jowi> happyface0, think it's in the universe repo
[10:48] <a5c> I have a 30mb file a  500mb one and a 97mb one, I just want to combine them to get the 700mb one i'm looking for. I just don't know how
[10:48] <brit> Hi people
[10:48] <Hasrat_USA> what's up brit
[10:49] <rlevitin> oo7: no luck
[10:49] <Marupa> a5c, what are they?
[10:49] <oo7> a5c: you can try: cat file1 > newfile.iso && cat file2>> newfile.iso && cat file3 >> newfile.iso
[10:49] <brit> Not much. I have a question that can be considered noobish but:
[10:49] <oo7> if they are like you say they are, that should work
[10:49] <Marupa> a5c, Hard to tell what to do if you don't tell us what type of files.
[10:49] <Hasrat_USA> brit: but?
[10:50] <a5c> They are .iso .iso.1 .iso.1.1
[10:50] <Marupa> Any ideas for my Mustek Scanner?
[10:50] <brit> Is there any way to choose a different default audio player for Ubuntu Feisty. I dislike Rhythmbox
[10:50] <a5c> brit: banshee
[10:50] <Marupa> a5c, Yes, as oo7 said, cat them together.
[10:50] <a5c> okay thanks
[10:50] <cedric30> Someone could look my errors http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8680/
[10:50] <cedric30> ?
[10:50] <ompaul> cube3|ZZz, so don't use nick changes here thanks
[10:50] <Hasrat_USA> I do the same. my favourite is XMMS
[10:50] <Jowi> fjardt, that card should use the standard "ati" driver.
[10:50] <rlevitin> oo7: there is no include directory at /lib/modules/2.6.15-28-686, and putting in that directory says it doesn't have an expected "linux" folder
[10:50] <apokryphos> ubotu: players
[10:50] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[10:51] <brit> banshee is what I want to set as my default, but with my ky shortcut, RB opens up
[10:51] <brit> There was a thread on the forum about it, but it dead ended
[10:52] <BigMac> Is there a batch conversion software for ubuntu that when I select a directory, it will add all images in that directory and subdirectories, copy over the original ones and be able to resize them all to like 100x100
[10:52] <lorenz> hello, how can I check what kernel I use? is there a command?
[10:52] <Jowi> lorenz, uname -a
[10:52] <Whatsisname> BigMac, you could write a shell script to do that
[10:52] <Whatsisname> lorenz, uname -a or cat /proc/version
[10:52] <wastedtime> hi , i am trying to use a kubuntu live cd on an intel 945 Gm , i reconfigure xserver .. and the screen loads up....and i get a blank screen with a pointer..any suggestions ??
[10:53] <lorenz> thank you.
[10:53] <apokryphos> BigMac: 'kim' in KDE has this, but I don't know about gnome. Otherwise just use find with -exec or a loop.
[10:53] <BigMac> I am not experiences enough to do that Whatsisname
[10:53] <exs> anyone using feisty?.. if so, do you like it?
[10:53] <Whatsisname> then its time to learn
[10:53] <brit> Love it
[10:53] <brit> But then again, I'm not quite the reviewer you want for that question
[10:53] <apokryphos> BigMac: you don't really need experience; just one command.
[10:54] <BigMac> apokryphos: Well what would that command be
[10:54] <BigMac> I would look it up
[10:54] <cube3|ZZz> Ubuntu says no to non-free video drivers for Feisty
[10:55] <BigMac> but I have like a half hour to get all of these resized and load them into my photobucket
[10:55] <brit> Ubuntu says no to non-free EVERYTHING
[10:55] <brit> lolz
[10:55] <cedric30> Someone could look my errors http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8680/
[10:55] <cedric30> Someone could look my errors http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8680/
[10:55] <cedric30> ?
[10:55] <Jowi> brb
[10:55] <Whatsisname> write a shell script that would find all images in a particular directory using the find command, then copy them in whatever way you want, then use imagemagick to resize them
[10:55] <apokryphos> BigMac: (i) cd to the directory you want to be in, then (ii) find . -iname "*.jpg" -exec convert -resize SOMENUMBER% {} {} \;
[10:56] <apokryphos> BigMac: NOTE: that command is *recursive*. It will resize ALL images in subdirectories to SOMENUMBER percentage
[10:56] <Whatsisname> and it wont copy them
[10:56] <BigMac> apokryphos: so if I wanted to resize all the bmps too 100x100
[10:57] <BigMac> what would I input into that command
[10:57] <downdown> Hi!!!
[10:57] <dabone> Quick question on mapped network drives..  Resizing them.
[10:58] <cedric30> I have a HD problem  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8680/ ?
[10:59] <apokryphos> !ohmy | Whatsisname
[10:59] <ubotu> Whatsisname: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:59] <BigMac> ah thank you I will try this
[10:59] <apokryphos> !philosophy | andre_
[10:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about philosophy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:59] <apokryphos> geh
[10:59] <BigMac> and it will overwrite the file that it resized in each directory
[10:59] <eyalw> hi, planning on buying a 2 dual core Dell notebook. read i need to install something to get advantage of the Duo???
[10:59] <Whatsisname> apokryphos, oh i see I suppose, I was thinking he meant to duplicate them with resized images
[10:59] <andre_> apkryphos hehe
[10:59] <apokryphos> andre_: http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/philosophy
[10:59] <Whatsisname> eyalw, you'll need an SMP kernel and not much else I would think but I'm not sure
[10:59] <zapradon> hello
[11:00] <eyalw> Whatsisname: what is an SMP Kernal ?
[11:00] <apokryphos> BigMac: yes. In each subdirectory as well, so be careful :)
[11:00] <Marupa> How do I check to see if my parallel port is working?
[11:00] <Whatsisname> symmetric multi processing
[11:00] <cedric30> Someone has 30s to give me a hand ?
[11:00] <cris> hi i need some help with the gimp
[11:00] <Whatsisname> bsically a kernel that can take advantage of multiple logical processors
[11:01] <Marupa> cris:  Tried their channel?
[11:01] <zapradon> would an nvidia 6800 be considered a 'legacy' card?
[11:01] <cris> they have one?
[11:01] <eshaase> i'm using edgy and i need *one* package from feisty. i'm assuming that adding a feisty repos to my sources.list is the recommended approach and if so does ubuntu support debian's pinning mechanism?
[11:01] <ompaul> cedric30, you need to say what you want help with
[11:01] <Marupa> cris, Last I checked.
[11:01] <Whatsisname> zapradon, I wouldn't think so
[11:01] <apokryphos> ubotu: philosophy is <alias> free
[11:01] <ubotu> I'll remember that, apokryphos
[11:01] <cedric30> ompaul: I have a disk problem  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8680/
[11:01] <BigMac> alright because the srtucture is lik e/music/artist/album/cover.bmp and there are hundreds of folders in that structure all named cover.bmp
[11:01] <zapradon> glx doesn't seem to want to 'take' :P
[11:01] <eyalw> Whatsisname: ???
[11:01] <brit> Ubotu is a bot?
[11:01] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about is a bot? - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:01] <cris> yeah they have ^^
[11:01] <cedric30> ompaul: and I search to repair it
[11:01] <Whatsisname> eyalw, what
[11:02] <Marupa> zapradon, Are you sure?  Tried glxgears?
[11:02] <matej> is there someone with working cedega 5.2.3?
[11:02] <jin> !nvidia
[11:02] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:02] <zapradon> when I enable it it says it can't find glx extensions
[11:02] <User769> can someone help me install lamp
[11:02] <gyaresu> eyalw: You just need a 'generic' kernel e.g. latest edgy package is linux-image-2.6.17-11-generic you find out what your kernel is my typing the command 'uname -a' in a terminal.
[11:02] <gleaken> anybody willing to help with a dapper to edgy upgrade?  I am trying to upgrade the official way and I am not getting the option to upgrade
[11:03] <ompaul> cedric30, no idea whatso ever - looks like bad ram - maybe memcheck86+ could be run
[11:03] <grayman> the GUI way?
[11:03] <gleaken> grayman: yes
[11:03] <gleaken> grayman: update-manager -c
[11:03] <zapradon> k, I'll try that one!
[11:03] <zapradon> thanks
[11:03] <grayman> you can do it manualy
[11:03] <BigMac> apokryphos: it said find: convert: No such file or directory about 150 times
[11:03] <cedric30> ompaul: I think it's a disk problelm
[11:03] <BigMac> then stopped
[11:03] <gleaken> grayman: no button saying that there is an upgrade shows up
[11:03] <MaartenLx> Hmmm.... I got something weird.... I can no longer change the KDE background in Kubuntu. Whatever I try, the background I selected yesterday (one of the default ones) sticks. Rebooting does not help a bit, I just did ;)
[11:03] <BigMac> does that mean it worked
[11:04] <MaartenLx> Anyone any idea?
[11:04] <tesuki_> can some one help me with gedit? is there a inbuildt function or do i need a plugin to have a "project manager" so I can save which document I had opened?
