[11:08] <Spaghetti_Knife> Thanks.
[11:08] <hmmz> there is no network to speak and the router is next to me
[11:08] <hmmz> :P
[11:08] <jpjacobs> :)
[11:08] <raghu206> holycow, in fstab file see there is UUId for every partiiton i need to edit that bcz the drive shud appear which i have formated in windows
[11:08] <hmmz> i just got the router working on ubuntu
[11:08] <hmmz> took all day :(
[11:09] <holycow> raghu206, you can't write to ntfs, just read it
[11:09] <holycow> input the fstab line as the other dude told you
[11:09] <jpjacobs> hmmz, perhaps something wrong with your iptables config
[11:09] <Juhaz> unless you use ntfs-3g
[11:09] <holycow> you will only be able to read it
[11:09] <max_> does anyone have Kiba Dock running?
[11:09] <frogzoo> !ntfs-3g
[11:09] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[11:09] <hmmz> now the only sites i can get wirking are firefox addons one, mozilla.org, getfirefox.com and thats bout it
[11:10] <hmmz> nope, im a compleat linux newbie but im pritty sure im not using that
[11:10] <hmmz> im using e... sometihng.
[11:10] <hmmz> for the file system
[11:10] <momal> well Im under linux my self... I don't want to see his screen just start up programs for him.. without him loosing his screen
[11:10] <holycow> raghu206, and it will appear on next boot.  you need to make SURE you have a folder created at your mount point as well, and you can do a mount /media/mountpoint from command line without rebooting to get the drive to mount AFTER you have the correct fstab line in there
[11:10] <holycow> raghu206, that is kinda the two or three things you need to setup to get it to work
[11:11] <hmmz> and im on Ubuntu 6.06, btw
[11:11] <jpjacobs> momal.. isee.. maybe vnc is the solution you seek. have him activate remote desktop, and then you can fire up apps for him
[11:11] <momal> too slow net for that
[11:11] <jpjacobs> nx?
[11:12] <raghu206> holycow, but the drive doesnt appear as i click on MY Computer .The method u told just mounts the disk on to the specified folder
[11:12] <holycow> raghu206, no it wont appear in my computer ... it will appear as a folder at your mount poitn
[11:13] <jpjacobs> errr... ssh in do export DISPLAY="localhost:0" and then nohup <program> >dev/null&
[11:13] <holycow> in the line that dude gave you its probably something like /media/mountfolder
[11:13] <raghu206> holycow, in order to make it visible u need edit UUId
[11:13] <holycow> just go there and open it up
[11:14] <raghu206> holycow, did u get me ?
[11:14] <holycow> raghu206, i can't give you the details on how that works, i haven't memorized every nuanced behaviour of gnome/nautilus.  i'm just hoping to poitn you in the general direction of getting the drive opened so you can browse it
[11:14] <fuoco> i have this problem, i use r300 driver. glxgears gives me nice results 1600-2000 fps. but when  i try a 3d app like ppracer i get about 2-3fps. flightgear is unusable and uses 100% cpu. when i try ppracer it also happens that while racing suddenly i do get accelleration and 30-40 fps for a few moments, up to a minute maybe, and then it goes back to 3fps. anyone knows what could be wrong?
[11:14] <holycow> making it show up in your nautilus window is really not something i want to help with, that you haveto look up in the man pages
[11:15] <GirlRiver> I am using VLC 0.8.6 on Ubunty edgy to transcode DVD to MP4V and MP4A  but It seems to fail finding AAC codec. Can anyone help please ?
[11:15] <raghu206> holycow, when u set ubuntu u have ur parted drives appear on ur desktop
[11:15] <hmmz> ok the problem is my dsn is screwed
[11:15] <brainiac_ghost> does anyone know if it is possible to read JFS partitions in windows?
[11:16] <e5150> no
[11:16] <holycow> raghu206, i just create a shortcut to them i don't bother with what you are trying to do.  also i don't put extra drives on the ide chain, i mount themn via usb cradles and THOSE appeare automagically on the desktop yes
[11:16] <reverseblade> hmmz, dsn ?
[11:16] <brainiac_ghost> e5150: hmm, theoretically i guess i could make a thing to do it, but i can't be bothered :P
[11:17] <brainiac_ghost> e5150: thing being dll
[11:17] <holycow> anything on the ide chain is part of the system, and if its an extra drive i set it up once and forget about it as its a system level resource not necessearily a removanble media type of device ... at least thats how i treat it
[11:17] <holycow> i hope that makes some sense :)

[11:24] <glyn> I thought I did on the repositories
[11:25] <glyn> where do I put them?
[11:25] <un_operateur> !repositories
[11:25] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[11:25] <un_operateur> glyn, ^^
[11:25] <GreyGhost-Ubuntu> glyn , http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_add_extra_repositories i find that unbelievably helpful ...
[11:27] <glyn> I have Hoary not edgy
[11:27] <glyn> I would just add them again in the synaptic but I have terminals running
[11:27] <un_operateur> glyn, in most cases its safe to replace every edgy with hoary
[11:27] <GreyGhost-Ubuntu> Hoary ? i missed a release i velieve then....
[11:28] <niekie> GreyGhost-Ubuntu, it's before Breezy.
[11:28] <GreyGhost-Ubuntu> niekie , ahh k ..
[11:28] <niekie> It is no longer supported.
[11:29] <niekie> It is 5.04
[11:30] <niekie> Dapper will be supported until June 2009 (June 2011 for servers)
[11:30] <GreyGhost-Ubuntu> oh ... then i obviuosly didn;t know bout it... at that time i was trying to get FC to become user friendly for a noob like muself....
[11:30] <x64_dude> Can anyone help me with installing the nvidia driver for AMD64 ubuntu?
[11:30] <glyn> so I can use the edgy repositories for Hoary?
[11:31] <un_operateur> !nvidia | x64_dude
[11:31] <ubotu> x64_dude: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:31] <niekie> glyn, eh, I don't think so.
[11:31] <glyn> could someone give me a link to the hoary repositories?  heh
[11:31] <niekie> I'm not that knowledgeable though, so ask a seocnd opinion, haha.
[11:31] <GreyGhost-Ubuntu> glyn , i think he meant replace the word Edgy with Hoary
[11:31] <glyn> oh
[11:31] <niekie> *second
[11:31] <un_operateur> glyn, just replace every instance of the work edgy with hoary
[11:31] <x64_dude> un_operateur: it dont work right in AMD64 version
[11:31] <un_operateur> x64_dude, ahh -- sorry
[11:31] <x64_dude> un_operateur: "Error: unable to load nvidia kernel driver! Be sure to have installed
[11:31] <x64_dude> the nvidia driver for your running kernel."
[11:32] <un_operateur> x64_dude, I dont think there are 64 bit drivers for ati/nvidia at the moment
[11:32] <x64_dude> un_operateur: sure there is
[11:32] <un_operateur> x64_dude, for linux i.e.
[11:33] <x64_dude> ubuntu for some reason will not modprobe nvidia driver x64 driver
[11:34] <glyn> added the repositories, and I stil can't get gstreamer
[11:34] <glyn> *still
[11:34] <un_operateur> glyn, you need to update apt first -- run this -- sudo aptitude update
[11:34] <pegs-using-e17> on the topic of ati driver install.. i have used this guide before http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Installation_Guide
[11:34] <glyn> I did
[11:35] <glyn> W: Duplicate sources.list entry http://archive.ubuntu.com hoary/universe Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_hoary_universe_binary-i386_Packages)
[11:35] <un_operateur> glyn, it means you have two enries in sources.list pointing to the same location
[11:35] <brainiac_ghost> scrollkeeper gets on my nerves
[11:36] <un_operateur> glyn, hold up
[11:37] <un_operateur> glyn -- this is exactly what your sources.list should look like -- http://pastebin.ca/289687
[11:38] <glyn> with or without the numbers?
[11:39] <user_deployment> \o
[11:39] <glyn> thanks
[11:39] <un_operateur> glyn, numbers??
[11:39] <glyn> yeah there were numbers on every line on the post
[11:40] <un_operateur> glyn, you mean the line numbers on the left?? no no, they shouldnt be included
[11:40] <reverseblade> How can I be a jedi ?
[11:41] <zircx> does anyone know whether linux has a bbcode editor / generator that would be similar to "Pawsoft FASS" in windows?
[11:41] <zircx> er ubuntu

[11:41] <abhinay> anybody has problem with the mplayer ? i am getting fatal error: Mplayer interrupted by signal 11 : decode_video , mplayer crashed by bad usage of cpu/fpu/ram
[11:41] <un_operateur> glyn, did you update apt afterwards?
[11:41] <glyn> yeah
[11:42] <glyn> E: Couldn't find package gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg
[11:42] <un_operateur> glyn, I just searched http://packages.ubuntu.com for gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg -- it seems it is not included on hoary
[11:43] <glyn> heh what can I do to get video working then?
[11:43] <un_operateur> glyn, one sec
[11:45] <un_operateur> glyn, here http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/g/gst-ffmpeg/gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg_0.8.7-7ubuntu1_i386.deb

[11:51] <nuked_omen> wsjunior, yes, type gnash in synaptic, click the package and click apply
[11:51] <spikeb> wsjunior: in the system menu, under administration, select software sources.
[11:52] <spikeb> wsjunior: in that window, click on the internet updates tab, and make sure backported updates is checked.
[11:52] <spikeb> wsjunior: after that, you will be able to install gnash (and other stuff) from the backports repo :)

[12:02] <GreyGhost-Ubuntu> !hi | arnor
[12:02] <ubotu> arnor: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[12:02] <un_operateur> capitalize the H -- Hello World! :)
[12:02] <spikeb> hey arnor
[12:02] <arnor> what's up guys?
[12:02] <arnor> ;)
[12:03] <arnor> could someone say me what are the major differences between Ubuntu 6.06 and 6.10?
[12:04] <spikeb> arnor: sure
[12:04] <spikeb> arnor: 6.10 has newer versions of almost every package, and a much shorter support lifetime.
[12:04] <nuked_omen> the numbers
[12:04] <arnor> "support lifetime" ?
[12:04] <un_operateur> arnor, one's called "dapper drake" and another's called "Edgy Eft"
[12:04] <arnor> nuked_omen: thx ;)
[12:04] <spikeb> arnor: how long it will get updates.
[12:04] <arnor> un_operateur: merci. lol :)
[12:05] <arnor> I'm using by now Ubuntu 6.06 "Dapper..."
[12:05] <un_operateur> arnor, it's like asking what the difference between windows XP and windows Vista are
[12:05] <teclo-> Hello, how can I ask acidrip to rip only a few minutes from a DVD ?
[12:05] <spikeb> un_operateur: edgy doesn't suck :(
[12:05] <arnor> and I'd like to know if I can want for Ubuntu 7.x to upgrade my system
[12:05] <un_operateur> or in your speak -- the difference between windows NT 5.1 and NT 5.2
[12:06] <un_operateur> spikeb, I didnt say it did, did i?
[12:06] <nuked_omen> why does vista suck?
[12:06] <sltgroove> XP is crap, Vista much worse- when win- 2K
[12:06] <arnor> un_operateur: ok
[12:06] <spikeb> un_operateur: in a roundabout way, yes.
[12:06] <spikeb> un_operateur: you said it was the vista of ubuntu releases :P
[12:07] <nuked_omen> people who use XP will have to eventually use vista
[12:07] <un_operateur> spikeb, I'm quite positive i didnt make such a corollary  :)
[12:07] <nuked_omen> whether they like it or not
[12:07] <sltgroove> hehehe
[12:07] <spikeb> arg
[12:07] <spikeb> un_operateur: darn you, let me smear your efforts!
[12:07] <spikeb> heh
[12:07] <un_operateur> spikeb, I can tell you tho -- i didnt use Edgy for too long -- so i cant really comment about it
[12:08] <spikeb> hehe un_operateur, did you move back to dapper or forward to feisty?
[12:08] <sltgroove> me dare not to say- in da mom on OS X 10.3.9- but using ubuntu and ( argh.. don't trow anything on me... ) SuSe 10.2
[12:09] <un_operateur> spikeb, I dunno if i could call it feisty -- I use quite a few debian etch packages and some edgy ones too
[12:09] <spikeb> hehe
[12:09] <spikeb> un_operateur: ahh ok
[12:09] <spikeb> un_operateur: so you use something that could be called "begging for trouble" :P

[12:09] <koregaonpark> Hello. I pulled the power plug of my Ubuntu machine and now it won't start up anymore.
[12:10] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, that wasnt a very clever thing to do was it?
[12:10] <koregaonpark> well, no, un_operator
[12:10] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, can you boot up into single user/recovery mode?
[12:10] <koregaonpark> I can boot into root.
[12:11] <koregaonpark> It takes me to the command prompt and I type in startx
[12:11] <koregaonpark> i think there's something wrong with the bootloader.
[12:11] <koregaonpark> okay, now i managed to boot into my user account
[12:12] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, so what happens after startx ?
[12:12] <koregaonpark> i typed in 'login', logged in, hit sudo startx
[12:12] <koregaonpark> uh, now that it's booted up
[12:12] <koregaonpark> i see an error, un_operator

[12:12] <koregaonpark> POWER MANAGER: this program cannot start until you start the dbus system service.
[12:12] <llama32> is there a way to force apt-get to ignore all dependencies? [i know it's unsafe, but i'm only installing devel packages full of headers, that have ~ 15mb of un-needed dependancies >:(]
[12:13] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, hmm - ok -- sudo bash   first
[12:13] <koregaonpark> The error message contd.: it is strongly recommended you reboot your computer after starting messagebus
[12:13] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, then -- /etc/init.d/dbus start
[12:13] <koregaonpark> okay, in terminal?
[12:13] <un_operateur> yes
[12:14] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, then -- /etc/init.d/gdm start
[12:14] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, then press CTRL+ALT+F7
[12:14] <grazie_> Any Opera users online getting quite frequent lock ups? (sorry if this is duplicated - having network problems too)
[12:14] <koregaonpark> step 1 done.
[12:15] <un_operateur> grazie_, if you are having network problems -- opera is going to inherit them to, no? :)
[12:15] <un_operateur> grazie_, what kind of network problems?
[12:16] <sltgroove> rotten cables :P
[12:16] <koregaonpark> un_operator, it has pulled me out of xwindow... "there already appears to be an xserver running on display :0. should another display number by tried?"
[12:16] <grazie_> un_operateur : not getting boths problems at the same time.
[12:16] <grazie_> un_operateur : network is due to ISP
[12:16] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, after which command did that error happen??

[12:19] <_Jack_Daniels_> I'm new to ubuntu, i've always used Slackware, and i'm wondering where is the script ip_forward that, in slackware, is under "/etc/rc.d/rc.ip_forward"
[12:19] <un_operateur> _Jack_Daniels_, you'll need to make one yourself or modify  /etc/sysctl.conf
[12:20] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, what does the blue screen say?
[12:20] <_Jack_Daniels_> ok thank you
[12:20] <koregaonpark> un_operator, the same message... should a new display no. be chosen.
[12:20] <koregaonpark> un_operator, it tried 6 times then gae up

[12:23] <koregaonpark> it took me to the ubuntu login screen
[12:23] <mauricek> it does not work for me
[12:23] <koregaonpark> i chose restart tehre
[12:23] <koregaonpark> there*
[12:23] <mauricek> thx
[12:23] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, you saying it has worked then?
[12:24] <koregaonpark> it's rebooting, un_operator
[12:24] <koregaonpark> damn, no, back at the prompt
[12:24] <koregaonpark> un_operator, starting xwindow
[12:24] <koregaonpark> back to the same gnome screen
[12:24] <un_operateur> gnome screen?
[12:25] <gizim> Where does Ubuntu store the Crontab logs?
[12:25] <un_operateur> gizim, errm, that depends -- root's cron jobs or user's cron jobs?

[12:26] <mojojojo_> hi there.  I'm trying to connect throough USB modem (SpeedTouch Thomson) to ADSL. I followed instructions and now I get "LCP: connection terminated by peer" and nothing else :(... Can you help me?
[12:26] <sioux> https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu do you know if there is a irc channel to discuss these bugs?
[12:26] <arnor> mojojojo_: I've tried 3 or 4 years ago with Knoppix and another distros
[12:27] <arnor> mojojojo_: drop your USB modem. Buy an ethernet one
[12:27] <arnor> life is beautiful with ethernet modems
[12:27] <koregaonpark> un_operator, what shall i do now?
[12:27] <un_operateur> mojojojo_, it might mean that a setting is incorrect -- recheck the configuration
[12:27] <Tron`> don't know
[12:27] <koregaonpark> un_operator, i'm back in gnome
[12:27] <mojojojo_> arnor :D :D, no chance, I need connection right now :),
[12:27] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, if you are in gnome it means everything worked
[12:28] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, do you mean the terminal instead?
[12:28] <koregaonpark> un_operator, ubuntu still won't boot up
[12:28] <koregaonpark> un_operator, it took me to the command line and i manually typed in startx
[12:28] <koregaonpark> un_operator, i am now in the root account
[12:28] <Seveas> arnor, ;)
[12:28] <mojojojo_> un_operateur yeah, but to tell the trutch I copied ready configuration (which is supposed 100% correct).
[12:29] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, please try and keep messages together so we can keep track of context -- dont split them over lines
[12:29] <HeathenDan> how do i remove read-only status for several files?
[12:29] <rausb0> usb modems mostly use undocumented proprietary protocols. dont use them.
[12:29] <koregaonpark> un_operator, affirmative
[12:29] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, did you startx or sudo startx ?
[12:29] <koregaonpark> un_operator, startx
[12:30] <koregaonpark> un_operator, from root@desktop:
[12:30] <rausb0> un_operateur: startx should be enough since the X wrapper is suid root
[12:30] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, and after startx, it took you to the desktop ??
[12:30] <koregaonpark> un_operator, it has taken me to the root desktop. i see an error message on screen
[12:31] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, you dont need to startx as root -- just do it under your shell
[12:31] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, well duhh.. you startx as root, where do you expect the desktop to take you :)
[12:31] <koregaonpark> un_operator, i have no choice, when i boot up the computer i am taken to root@desktop.
[12:31] <rausb0> koregaonpark: you shouldnt have log in as root on the text console. log in as normal user, then startx.
[12:32] <koregaonpark> rausb0, i'll just reboot
[12:32] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, ehh -- it should do that
[12:32] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, shouldnt **
[12:32] <rausb0> koregaonpark: you get a root shell on reboot? without asking for password?
[12:32] <midgetg0at> Anyone notice a problem in Edgy - Gnome where if you add a launcher to a panel, and then try to move it, it looses 100% of the launcher information?
[12:32] <koregaonpark> rausb0, yes that is correect
[12:32] <midgetg0at> i'ts done it to me EVERY TIME i try to position it after i add it to panel
[12:32] <rausb0> koregaonpark: i'd say your system is pretty f*cked up
[12:33] <koregaonpark> rausb0, i did nothing but shut down my computer manually!
[12:33] <rausb0> koregaonpark: which ubuntu version, from which media did you install?
[12:33] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, you said you pulled the plug from under it  :)
[12:34] <Seveas> bad move :)
[12:34] <koregaonpark> rausb0, this is 6.06 from cd
[12:34] <koregaonpark> un_operator, isn't that a manual shut down?
[12:34] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, lol no
[12:34] <koregaonpark> un_operator, i've done this windows and os x
[12:34] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, thats called bad-operational-tendency-syndrome :)
[12:35] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, linux is not windows or apple eh
[12:35] <rausb0> koregaonpark: pulling the plug can hardly be called a "manual shutdown"
[12:35] <koregaonpark> rausb0, un_operator, so I just gotta format and install?
[12:35] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, even with windows/apple -- you should never do that -- you risk losing/corrupting data -- and as you have seen it happen, the risk it high
[12:36] <koregaonpark> un_operator, i don't usually, but my computer was on for a day and i didn't have a monitor to spare to shut it down with.
[12:36] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, well, we gotta find out what is failing and whats dropping you into the root prompt -- hopefully if we correct that, it ought to be ok
[12:36] <rausb0> koregaonpark: i bet it says something like you have to check the file system manually when booting, then dropping you to a root shell, right?
[12:37] <koregaonpark> rausb0, it says exactly that!
[12:37] <rausb0> koregaonpark: alright, your filesystem is damaged
[12:37] <koregaonpark> it says try running e2fsck with an alternate superblock
[12:38] <rausb0> koregaonpark: if it even doesnt find the superblock, its more damaged that i thought
[12:38] <koregaonpark> rausb0, well, i guess i'm done then
[12:38] <rausb0> koregaonpark: btw, why didnt you tell us this message earlier?
[12:39] <koregaonpark> rausb0, because i was able to boot into gnome
[12:39] <koregaonpark> rausb0, i can still access my data.
[12:39] <rausb0> koregaonpark: under linux, you should read error messages, understand them and _take them seriously_
[12:39] <rausb0> koregaonpark: messages are there for a purpose
[12:40] <koregaonpark> rausb0, yes sir.
[12:40] <koregaonpark> rausb0, i'm new to this.
[12:40] <rausb0> koregaonpark: that why i am telling you
[12:41] <koregaonpark> but seriously, how come this has never happened to my windows or os x installs?
[12:41] <rausb0> koregaonpark: so reboot and stay on the root shell in text mode
[12:41] <koregaonpark> is linux more volatile?
[12:41] <samu2> WOW, I should have installed the nvidia drivers a long time ago. The screen savers are a hundred times smoother now.
[12:41] <koregaonpark> rausb0, what?
[12:41] <mauricek> I can't download the correct format for mediaplayers::: Help me
[12:41] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, damage does occur to windows/apple systems -- but it is hidden from you so you can get the desktop up (not a good thing)
[12:42] <rausb0> koregaonpark: then type in: fsck.ext3 -fy /
[12:42] <koregaonpark> un_operator, i understand.
[12:42] <koregaonpark> rausb0, one min
[12:42] <mauricek> Media player
[12:43] <rausb0> koregaonpark: and if it doesnt work, try this: fsck.ext3 -fy -b 8193 /
[12:43] <koregaonpark> rausb0, the superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2 filesystem
[12:43] <koregaonpark> rausb0, okay
[12:43] <rausb0> koregaonpark: ext2? ubuntu uses ext3 by default
[12:43] <un_operateur> rausb0, koregaonpark, you might want to use  fsck.ext2 instead
[12:43] <mauricek> ubuntu 5.04 version can't play any video?
[12:44] <koregaonpark> un_operator, okay i'll try ext2
[12:44] <T1> hey can anyone help me calibrate a joystick please
[12:44] <rausb0> un_operateur: i wonder how koregaonpark managed to install ubuntu with ext2 fs
[12:44] <GreyGhost-Ubuntu> mauricek ,what format do u want?
[12:44] <koregaonpark> btw i have to add the "/" too right?
[12:44] <rausb0> koregaonpark: yes
[12:44] <un_operateur> rausb0, he probably changed that -- or installed an older version -- hoary/breezy
[12:44] <mauricek> mediaplayer
[12:45] <rausb0> un_operateur: he said it is 6.06
[12:45] <koregaonpark> rausb0, both the ext3 attempts failed, trying ext2
[12:45] <koregaonpark> un_operator, i might have changed that
[12:45] <mauricek> I don't care as long as it works for ubuntu 5.04
[12:45] <un_operateur> rausb0, he could have dist-upgraded to 6.06
[12:45] <digTro> Hi, I'm having a problem with switch workspace shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt+Arrow Key). The left side keys are not working, but the right side ones are working. Also there seems to be no problem with the individual keys
[12:45] <GreyGhost-Ubuntu> mauricek , ummmm i meant ... which format are the videos in? .avi ... .mp4 ?
[12:45] <koregaonpark> un_operator, my primary partition is an empty fat32 30gb
[12:45] <koregaonpark> un_operator, i have the 6.06 cd
[12:45] <digTro> I mean the left side Ctrl and Alt key combination
[12:46] <rausb0> koregaonpark: the live cd or the alternate cd?
[12:46] <T1> anyone know how to change the sensitivity of a joystick, globally
[12:46] <mauricek> windows media
[12:46] <mauricek> mp3
[12:46] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, fat32??  <scratches head and frowns>

[12:46] <mauricek> thank you
[12:47] <koregaonpark> un_operator, yes, i recently formatted that to fat32. i was trying to figure out how to merge the previously ext3 patrition with my ubuntu one
[12:47] <GreyGhost-Ubuntu> mauricek , i think u'll need a new media player ... u'll find the info on that page ..
[12:48] <T1> mauricek: sounds like a codec problem
[12:48] <koregaonpark> un_operator, rausb0, anything else i could do?
[12:48] <berbear> i have problem adding files from winxp to my linux box via samba. i can login but cant copy files over... what can i do?
[12:48] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, what dod the fsck do/say?
[12:49] <koregaonpark> un_operator, the superblock could not be read or does not describe a correct ext2/3 filesystem
[12:49] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, ok -- is / a fat32 or extx file system? let me get that straight
[12:50] <rausb0> koregaonpark: i understand that you formatted your ubuntu partition (which was ext3) with fat32?
[12:50] <berbear> i have problem adding files from winxp to my linux box via samba. i can login but cant copy files over... what can i do?
[12:51] <koregaonpark> un_operator, there are two partitions, one is fat32, one is either ext2 or 3, it might be that the fat32 partition has become the boot partition or whatever
[12:51] <un_operateur> berbear, can you navigate to smb://name/share  -- where name and share correspond to a machine name and share respectively
[12:51] <rausb0> koregaonpark: and which one is the ubuntu root partition (mounted on /)?
[12:52] <koregaonpark> ubuntu is ext3/2
[12:52] <koregaonpark> fat32 is empty
[12:52] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, ok, thats better -- relief
[12:52] <koregaonpark> un_operator, rausb0, brb
[12:52] <rausb0> koregaonpark: okay, and which device is the ext2/3 partition? (like sda2, hda5, ...)
[12:53] <digTro> Hi, I'm having a problem with switch workspace shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt+Arrow Key). The left side keys (Ctrl+Alt combination) are not working, but the right side ones are working. Also there seems to be no problem with the individual keys..
[12:53] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, I think it's better you reinstall witht he right layout -- and avoid using fat32 at all
[12:53] <berbear> yes
[12:53] <berbear> un_operateur: yes
[12:53] <rausb0> un_operateur: i guess you are right
[12:54] <un_operateur> berbear, and do you see any files then?
[12:54] <berbear> un_operateur: yes
[12:54] <un_operateur> berbear, what happens when you try and copy them across to a folder locally -- tell us the right error messages if any
[12:54] <berbear> un_operateur: brb in 5mins
[12:54] <un_operateur> 5mins ? :o
[12:55] <chrishoeppner> Hi
[12:55] <chrishoeppner> how do I check my glibc version?
[12:55] <bun-bun> anyone know if there is a plugin for xmms to play wma files?
[12:55] <rausb0> chrishoeppner: ls -l /lib/libc.so.6
[12:56] <un_operateur> bun-bun -- sure -- if you search the repos -- you should find a package called xmms-wma/v
[12:56] <un_operateur> bun-bun, you might be interested in w32codecs too
[12:56] <un_operateur> !w32codecs | bun-bun
[12:56] <ubotu> bun-bun: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[12:56] <bun-bun> already have w32codec
[12:56] <bun-bun> s
[12:56] <chrishoeppner> bun-bun: i've installed the w32codecs pack and can play wma
[12:57] <bun-bun> from xmms?
[12:57] <chrishoeppner> yeah
[12:57] <un_operateur> bun-bun, you should be able to play wma from any app if you have the right codecs
[12:57] <un_operateur> bun-bun, anyway -- try this at a terminal -- sudo aptitude install xmms-wma
[12:59] <user_deployment> un_operateur, sudo aptitude install xmms-wma does not exist
[12:59] <user_deployment> try for yourself
[12:59] <bun-bun> i can play wma files through totem etc, just not xmms
[01:00] <user_deployment> amarok bun-bun  ?

[01:00] <bun-bun> which leads me to believe xmms needs its own plugin
[01:00] <un_operateur> !xmms-wma
[01:00] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about xmms-wma - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:00] <user_deployment> see un_operateur ?
[01:00] <bun-bun> user_deployment# totem is my default, don't have amarok installed
[01:00] <user_deployment> amarok roks have ti just in case
[01:01] <un_operateur> user_deployment, apt-cache policy xmms-wma says -- I have Installed: 1.0.5-3
[01:01] <user_deployment> you oon gnome right ?
[01:01] <Flannel> un_operateur: which repository?
[01:02] <user_deployment> hmmm
[01:02] <bun-bun> user_deployment# rather not install kde libs
[01:02] <un_operateur> Flannel, feisty/universe -- which explains why others dont see it
[01:02] <user_deployment> right un_operateur
[01:03] <berbear> un_operateur: back.. sorry. wat do u mean by copy locally? as in copy paste from anywhere on my system to the place where im sharing using samba?
[01:03] <un_operateur> berbear, the other way around --
[01:04] <koregaonpark> rausb0, hda1 is fat32.
[01:04] <un_operateur> berbear, copy from remote location to local folder
[01:04] <satish> anybody know how to disable full screen controls in totem?
[01:04] <Nookie^> !unrar
[01:04] <ubotu> unrar is rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression  There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[01:04] <mauricek> why is it so complicated to download executable mutlimedia???
[01:04] <berbear> un_operateur: yea i can copy a file from winxp box to my linux desktop
[01:04] <un_operateur> bun-bun, user_deployment  http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/x/xmms-wma/
[01:04] <mauricek> I just want it simple
[01:04] <rausb0> koregaonpark: like un_operateur said, better reinstall
[01:05] <mauricek>  there are just away too many steps...
[01:05] <koregaonpark> okay. no problemo. i'll install another os, pull my files and format the partition
[01:05] <koregaonpark> cheers rausb0, un_operator, thanks for helping me out...
[01:05] <un_operateur> mauricek, because most multimedia is encoded in restricted formats -- and that is why ubuntu doesnt include the packages by default
[01:06] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, you might want to think carefully about the layout before installing eh

[01:07] <un_operateur> koregaonpark, the next time around -- you'll have a better system (as long as you learn from this mistake)

[01:08] <T1> lol
[01:08] <berbear> un_operateur: yea i can copy a file from winxp box to my linux desktop. but when i connect to smb:///mycomputer watever file i try to copy it says it already exists. and when i selected replace, it says file cant be deleted
[01:08] <koregaonpark> un_operator, but sometimes you just have to... like if the system hangs. it's happened with os x
[01:08] <T1> sysrq s, u, b :p

[01:09] <T1> lol
[01:09] <koregaonpark> un_operator, well, if i had no control over my car and it was hurtling towards a cliff-edge, i'd rather pull off the wheels than let it keep rolling

[01:35] <Skyrail> I'm having some problems and I haven't a clue what they actually are and I am wondering if anyone can help. When I try to log in normally I get this error: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b134/einsteinshamster/STA60027.jpg and when I log into failsafe gnome I get this error: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b134/einsteinshamster/Screenshot-19.png please could someone help :)
[01:39] <NineTeen67Comet> Skyrail: I'm pretty sure it's an xorg.conf problem (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) .. but I'm not coherent enough right now to pick it apart .. If you can Google around for a stock un-edited xorg.conf, save the one you have, and paste the new one in (when I can't get X I use elinks via cli (ctrl+alt+f2) to cruz the web for answers, then use wget to download files ..
[01:40] <Skyrail> NineTeen67Comet: heh ok thanks so much, I hope that works :)
[01:40] <NineTeen67Comet> Skyrail: is this a fresh install? Or did you get in and muck with stuff (like I do :) ) ..
[01:41] <Skyrail> NineTeen67Comet: I am trying to install some linux ATi drivers in order to get two screens
[01:42] <NineTeen67Comet> Skyrail: aha .. (I'm a dual monitor user myself) .. I would bet your xorg.conf file is a little wrong right now .. (ATI is evil to Linux often times) .. if you can get it back to where it'll let you see your desktop, back that file up and press on with experimenting with stuff ..
[01:43] <exs> I'm trying to buy a PCI atheros (chipset) wifi card, does anyone know a list of them?..

[02:20] <rusher> e2fsck
[02:20] <rusher> i mean
[02:21] <w3ccv> pfaftle, sounds like a hardware problem, is the disk still spinning, pluged in, mounted, etc. beyond that I can't be of help
[02:21] <pfaftle> can someone please tell me how to fix--> ALERT! /dev/hda1 does not exist. dropping to a shell... goes into busybox and says:
[02:21] <max_> are there any programs to help you create bootsplashes and kdm themes? or sites with tutorials?
[02:21] <Skyrail> Is there any way to access the harddisk from the Live CD and replace a whole folder?
[02:21] <gnomefreak> max_: gimp
[02:22] <pfaftle> w3ccv: happens while trying to boot file system
[02:22] <pegs-using-e17> max: try this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto
[02:22] <gnomefreak> pfaftle: new install?
[02:22] <ahowes> Hi there can anyone help???  Can ubuntu do any sort of low level disk scan and fix bad sectors in a hard drive??
[02:22] <pfaftle> gnomefreak: yes
[02:22] <max_> gnomefreak: that dosnt answer anything
[02:22] <gnomefreak> pfaftle: open /boot/grub/menu.lst and change hda to sda see if that helps
[02:22] <w3ccv> pfaftle, boot from CD - check the partition table, sounds like it is corrupted
[02:22] <Skyrail> anyone know if you can access the harddrive of a PC using the Live CD so I can replace a folder?
[02:23] <gnomefreak> max_: you asked for an app to help you make images gimp == the app
[02:23] <un_operateur> Skyrail, sure
[02:23] <pfaftle> gnomefreak: its a plain ATA hdd
[02:23] <max_> gnomefreak: i didnt ask for a prgogram to make images
[02:23] <alguien21> There's some girl????
[02:23] <timo901> hi i keep getting (you do not have permission to install into this directory )
[02:23] <gnomefreak> pfaftle: understood the kernel has changed
[02:23] <pegs-using-e17> Skyrail: if its an ntfs partition it will be harder to write to it though
[02:24] <Skyrail> I completely messed up some config files in /etc/X11 and so I want to replace that folder with the one on the disc
[02:24] <gnomefreak> max_: yes you did    are there any programs to help you create
[02:24] <timo901> i have even tryed /home/
[02:24] <pfaftle> w3ccv: i'm a linux noob, i don't know how to check the table
[02:24] <w3ccv> Skyrail, mount the hard disk partition you need, on /mnt  then you can get to it.
[02:24] <midgetg0at> k i'm really confused guys...i cant log into my samba share from XP..getting really frustrated.
[02:24] <gnomefreak> max_: do you want to costumize or create
[02:24] <pfaftle> gnomefreak: ok, so how do i change to sda?
[02:24] <max_> gnomefreak: i said sreate splash screens and kde themes, meaning put them togther from images and such i alreazdy have, made
[02:24] <timo901>  midgetg0at:what dose it say
[02:24] <midgetg0at> its just not letting me login from XP
[02:24] <Skyrail> w3ccv: ok thanks I'll give it a try :)
[02:24] <un_operateur> Skyrail, thats not going to work the way you think -- most files in that folder are generated on the fly - they arent just pulled off a package
[02:24] <w3ccv> pfaftle, use fdisk /dev/hda
[02:25] <midgetg0at> i just get prompt after prompt after prompt
[02:25] <pegs-using-e17> max: try this for the boot splash https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto

[02:29] <midgetg0at> sudo smbpasswd
[02:29] <stefg> !samba | midgetg0at
[02:29] <ubotu> midgetg0at: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[02:29] <midgetg0at> right
[02:29] <orgy`> hi

[02:29] <linnuxxy> how to install ZipArchive   for php5 in dapper?
[02:30] <midgetg0at> is the fact that xp is vmware causing a problem?
[02:30] <stefg> can be... can you ping all your boxes? real or virtual?
[02:31] <un_operateur> linnuxxy,  you probably need to download that php module  from the php archives
[02:31] <slacktyro> my k3b is return me a writing error: input/output error
[02:31] <Vuen> hey guys, what's a free open source alternative to Outlook? in particular i want the calendar features, etc.
[02:31] <midgetg0at> hrm...i wonder if windows is tryign to send an encrypted password to samba
[02:31] <stefg> midgetg0at: vmware sets up a virtual NAT router inside your machine... so your virtual XP is sort of firewalled
[02:31] <midgetg0at> but samba isnt storing it encrypted..or vice cersa.
[02:31] <thoreauputic> Vuen: Evolution
[02:31] <midgetg0at> virtual xp has it's own IP though.
[02:32] <kazik> czesc
[02:32] <aled> un_operateur: this is Skyrail on another PC
[02:32] <Vuen> thoreauputic: does evolution come with standard ubuntu? or do i need to install it using synaptic?
[02:32] <thoreauputic> Vuen: which is the Ubuntu default app anyway
[02:32] <orgy`> yesterday i opened a *rm video with mplayer (because it was the only program to play it correctly). it worked good, but afterwards i didnt have any sound with other programs even after a restart O_o

[02:33] <Vuen> thoreauputic: :) thanks. i'm not actually in ubuntu right now, i'm asking for a friend, which is why these questions seem strange. thanks

[02:33] <gnomefreak> !grub > pfaftle
[02:33] <aled> un_operateur: ok I'm guessing I login here? I've only ever used the cli once and only to mess around so nothing complicated
[02:34] <stefg> slacktyro: check 'dmesg' if there's any error related to your Burner in it
[02:34] <timo901> smb.conf

[02:47] <rusher> some dvd ley you right click and copy and pase iso
[02:47] <aled> un_operateur: yeah 0% loss
[02:48] <rusher> i had many problems upgrading from dapper - edgy
[02:48] <midgetg0at> ok, so how do i verify that my share definition is setup correctly?
[02:48] <un_operateur> aledd, nice -- now type these commands in -- aptitude remove xserver-xorg-core; aptitude install xserver-xorg-core
[02:48] <timo901> midgetg0at:you would be surprised at how network connections can be confusing
[02:48] <Zaggynl> cmt^^, k9copy
[02:48] <midgetg0at> k, but lets not jump into configuring networks that appear to be working correctly when we haven't even verified the samba share definition....
[02:49] <un_operateur> aled, hows it going?
[02:49] <aled> un_operateur: oh sorry, yeah didn't see that
[02:49] <un_operateur> midgetg0at, can you access your samba shares locally ?
[02:50] <un_operateur> aled, oops -- my bad -- typed your name out wrong :p
[02:50] <pegs-using-e17> would anyone have an idea what this could be... i have dapper installed.. and after a while of uptime (like just now.. been up for 4 hours) the hdd in this machine starts ticking as though it parks the heads, then unparks.. reads.. then parks them again (i think thats what its doing anyway).. it doesnt seem to happen in windowz
[02:50] <rausb0> pandrew: sudo rmmod ehci-hcd
[02:50] <un_operateur> aled, just in case you want them again -- aptitude remove xserver-xorg-core; aptitude install xserver-xorg-core
[02:50] <timo901>  midgetg0at:i was just checking
[02:50] <midgetg0at> yes, i can access them locally.
[02:51] <aled> un_operateur: ok thanks :) its doing it now
[02:51] <un_operateur> midgetg0at, by locally i mean smb://machinename/share -- smb://ipaddress/share etc
[02:51] <midgetg0at> yes, i know
[02:51] <midgetg0at> that is where i'm at.
[02:51] <midgetg0at> smb://localhost/WWWRoot
[02:51] <sight> can somebody help me with mounting ext3 partition with write access for user?
[02:51] <timo901> erwin_:http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=06/09/05/2055232
[02:52] <un_operateur> midgetg0at, i hope you know localhost is different to <machinename> :)
[02:52] <un_operateur> midgetg0at, and that you've tried both
[02:52] <erwin_> timo901: i'll have a read, thank you
[02:52] <midgetg0at> if you're asking can i access it locally, localhost is fine.
[02:52] <timo901> your welcome
[02:52] <midgetg0at> and yes, it works with machine name as well....
[02:52] <aled> un_operateur: I really need to learn more cli stuff as it's pretty interesting and very useful
[02:52] <timo901> let me know how you get on, wireless can be tricky
[02:52] <futzilogik> does anyone know how sound juicer determines the title infos for my cd? (cause it get's it completely wrong)
[02:53] <un_operateur> midgetg0at, I'm asking if both smb://localhost and smb://$HOSTNAME  work the same
[02:53] <rausb0> aled: command line rules :)
[02:53] <midgetg0at> indeed they do.
[02:53] <T1> futzilogik: gets then from a server on the net
[02:53] <aled> rausb0: :D
[02:53] <erwin_> okay :p
[02:53] <futzilogik> T1, do you know which one?
[02:53] <aled> I need to learn more stuff about it as I get more interested in setting up more complicated stuff
[02:53] <un_operateur> midgetg0at, i wasnt following all along -- but how was XP failing to connect?
[02:53] <rausb0> aled: i do many things on the command line, even when running X
[02:54] <midgetg0at> it just keeps prompting me for user/pass
[02:54] <T1> futzilogik: freedb i think
[02:54] <timo901>  futzilogik:should be able to find out in the configuration side of things /settings
[02:54] <aled> rausb0: I use it for simple things like moving, renaming and editing files as most people should do realy, I'm hoping to learn more about networking and networking booting and administration using Linux, so it'll be useful
[02:54] <futzilogik> T1, kscd uses freedb and it doesn't find anything
[02:54] <pandrew> rausb0: thanks, i'll try it now, one moment
[02:54] <un_operateur> midgetg0at, if you tail /var/log/samba/log.smbd -- you'll find out why it was failing
[02:55] <midgetg0at> ok, sec...
[02:55] <aled> un_operateur: it's finished :)
[02:55] <futzilogik> timo901, hey, it's a gnome application, there are no such settings in a gnome app ;-)
[02:55] <un_operateur> aled, reboot :) and cross yer fingers :)
[02:55] <aled> ok
[02:55] <midgetg0at> k, hnow do i tail :)
[02:55] <un_operateur> aled -- this is how its done -- shutdown -r now
[02:55] <T1> futzilogik: does it just do it for one cd or all of them?
[02:56] <aled> un_operateur: I just typed reboot and...erm it rebooted lol
[02:56] <un_operateur> midgetg0at,   at a terminal -- tail -f /var/log...
[02:56] <un_operateur> aled .. nice ha ha :)
[02:56] <futzilogik> T1, usually it get's it right, but I have burned a sampler of my own, and now it says this is an album of "moist", whoever this is ....
[02:56] <midgetg0at> when i try to login on the windows box...it should be showing up on tail?
[02:57] <futzilogik> T1, it's a pitty it doesn't use cd-text cause all the info is there on the cd...
[02:57] <T1> futzilogik: if its your own compliation it will probably just find the closest match, the best thing to do is submit the track listing to freedb
[02:57] <midgetg0at> because nothigns showing up
[02:57] <un_operateur> midgetg0at, the log.smbd will log why the login attempts from windows XP were failing
[02:57] <timo901> futzilogik: well i did sey configure
[02:57] <un_operateur> midgetg0at, check to see if that file actually exists there
[02:58] <futzilogik> time901: you mean ./configure --enable-sth?
[02:58] <cmt^^> Zaggynl - thanks for the tip, looks promising
[02:58] <un_operateur> midgetg0at,  ls -l ,,,
[02:58] <slacktyro> i'm able to record cds but no able to record dvds, what can it be?
[02:58] <midgetg0at> interesting...i just see server starts in that file
[02:58] <midgetg0at> apparently the samba server is never getting hit...
[02:58] <aled> un_operateur: no luck :( there's another error file after the first one which is pretty big
[02:58] <un_operateur> midgetg0at, xp is failing because something's amis -- if the server was never hit -- the xp will complain about the share not existing
[02:58] <timo901> midgetg0at:hit ?
[02:58] <midgetg0at> i tried to access the share from both vmware xp and an actual xp box.
[02:59] <Zaggynl> cmt^^, I have very good experiences with it, but always burn first on a DVD-RW
[02:59] <timo901> did it work ?
[02:59] <un_operateur> aled, ok, in brief -- can you tell us what the new error is saying?
[02:59] <midgetg0at> well, if the server was hit, it's not getting logged in taht file.
[02:59] <aled> un_operateur: give me a min, just restarted again
[03:00] <un_operateur> midgetg0at, ahh vmware -- have you made sure that the vmware host OS name is different to ubuntu's machine name?
[03:00] <timo901> some how i dont think samba is to blame
[03:00] <midgetg0at> yes, they are different
[03:00] <futzilogik> ok, thanks T1 + timo901!
[03:00] <midgetg0at> timo901: it doesnt even work from an actual xp box...
[03:00] <yakumo> hello i install some software using wine and the shortcut appear on my desktop but when i double when i try to execute it error mssg appear any can help me with this
[03:00] <un_operateur> midgetg0at, rather than try using the same username and password -- try something different -- create a new user on samba and try again
[03:00] <midgetg0at> so far it's not acting like a vmware problem.
[03:01] <midgetg0at> ok, sec.
[03:01] <un_operateur> yakumo, do you know how to use wine?
[03:01] <midgetg0at> so i need an ubuntu user w/ the same name first...
[03:02] <timo901> i done a network my self,not once did i try a fix samba just my connection
[03:02] <yakumo> i setup using sudo wine 'program name'
[03:02] <un_operateur> midgetg0at, no different username and password -- completely different to your windows one
[03:02] <yakumo> i setup using sudo wine 'program name' or the .exe
[03:02] <aled> un_operateur: I think it's a more detailed file of the previous one but it goes on about how it can't find some font files, PCI scanning, loading files and modules and then ends with the same piece of information that no screens found
[03:02] <justin__> anyone know how to get borders to work after i start beryl-manager? i have tried to reload window manager and it doens't change anything
[03:02] <Vuen> egad
[03:02] <Vuen> sudo wine is almost certainly a bad idea
[03:02] <IdleOne> yakumo,  cd to directory where program is installed then type wine programname to start the program
[03:02] <Vuen> trojaned windows programs will scribble all over your harddrive
[03:03] <timo901> justin__: are barders windows ?
[03:03] <un_operateur> yakumo, what i want to know is if the program installed probably or not?
[03:03] <timo901> sort of like the fames around the window ?
[03:03] <justin__> timo901, what?
[03:03] <justin__> yes
[03:03] <un_operateur> Vuen, windows viruses can only affect the ~/.wine directory -- thats about it
[03:03] <un_operateur> aled .. hmm, just one moment
[03:03] <justin__> timo901, like i have no title or the close buttons or nothin
[03:03] <slacktyro> there're a lib to be able to record dvds?
[03:03] <timo901> when then you have a beryl problem ,what you card ?
[03:03] <Vuen> un_operateur: not if you run them as root. wine mounts z: as /
[03:03] <elysium444> !wine
[03:03] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[03:04] <timo901> justin__:i know what you mean
[03:04] <Vuen> un_operateur: so if you sudo wine <virus>, it can scribble all over your root partition
[03:04] <justin__> nvidia, 6800 GT it's not that
[03:04] <midgetg0at> Failed to initialise SAM_ACCOUNT for user test. Does this user exist in the UNIX password database ?
[03:04] <midgetg0at> and i did create the user....
[03:04] <yakumo> the folder name appear on /home/yakumo/.wine/drive_c/Program Files so i think it is install
[03:04] <aled> un_operateur: ok, I don't paticularly want to reinstall Ubuntu as well as I have quite a few files on there I should of really backed up...but I dind't
[03:04] <timo901> justin__:you have that configured correctly have you ?
[03:04] <justin__> timo901, it's not the card it's a setting i have missing or something
[03:04] <justin__> timo901, yes b/c games work
[03:05] <timo901> didi it work the first tiem you logged on
[03:05] <stefg> there have been studies to see, if wine is vulnerable by virusses. They didn't find a single /worm/Trojan/Virus working on wine properly... That's how bad wine is: won't even run the most common win-programs :-)
[03:05] <whimsical> damn stefg - wine sux
[03:05] <justin__> timo901, no i have jsut installed beryl, and i havn't been able to get window borders unless i use Metacity as my window manager
[03:05] <thoreauputic> stefg: submit a bug repoert ;p
[03:05] <midgetg0at> k...so now i use that new user account (test/test) from windows to connect to the share...
[03:05] <timo901> ok justin__:
[03:05] <thoreauputic> *report
[03:06] <midgetg0at> and WTF - it works
[03:06] <slacktyro> stefg: the driver is working with cds
[03:06] <midgetg0at> bah, what a waste of time!
[03:06] <un_operateur> aled, well, not just yet -- try this -- at the terminal -- sudo aptitude remove x11-common; sudo aptitude install x11-common
[03:06] <Vuen> stefg: obviously the programs won't understand the linux file system; it's not like they'll know how to make themselves autorun through wine. the point is if you sudo wine, they can WRITE there, and some viruses do that. do you really want a win32 program writing itself to /boot for example?
[03:06] <midgetg0at> anyway, thanks guys, finally got it working :)
[03:06] <timo901> regoing to have to restart all the beryl sevices
[03:06] <midgetg0at> now i can go smoke and cry because my daughter will be up soon and i've yet to do any real work tonight :-/
[03:06] <slacktyro> stefg: i already see dvds here, but now i'm not able to mount it
[03:06] <midgetg0at> anyway, thanks again
[03:06] <Vuen> stefg: even if it can't execute anything malicious, i sure don't want it to have write acccess.
[03:06] <elysium444> can wine and cedega both be installed?
[03:06] <pandrew> removing ehci_hcd helped! :-) thanks. now another question: can i try somehow something between the two? so that it will still be faster?
[03:06] <Vuen> elysium444: yep
[03:06] <elysium444> thanks
[03:07] <IdleOne> elysium444, sure
[03:07] <timo901>  midgetg0at: congrats man
[03:07] <timo901>  justin__: still with me ?
[03:07] <emun> is the mythtv live cd  bootimg from cd and staying there or do I have to install the os bcause i already have ubuntu  and where can i diwnload the livecd
[03:07] <pandrew> also about usb 2.0 is there a fixed timing? i mean can it be the problem that a crystal in my device is not the required
 i browse on my folder where the program is installed and error mssg appear 'components mswinsck.ocx or one of its dependecies is not correctly installed
[03:07] <pandrew> frequency?
[03:08] <justin__> timo901, no i not sure what you mean? everything in beryl is working.. the cude, the bluring water drops... just have no borders around my windwos
[03:08] <un_operateur> yakumo, you need to copy that file across from a windows system32 folder
[03:08] <aled> un_operateur: done
[03:08] <un_operateur> yakumo, into wine's system32 folder obviously
[03:08] <Vuen> justin__: you need to add ARGBVisuals to your xorg.conf
[03:08] <slacktyro> to record dvds, is necessary any lib?
[03:08] <alper> hello guys, I ve downloaded an icon package, how can I use it??
[03:08] <timo901> justin__:dont worry we will sort this out
[03:08] <yakumo> but i do't have windows install...
[03:08] <Vuen> justin__: look on the wiki on www.beryl-project.org to see how to do that
[03:08] <un_operateur> aled -- ok, next one -- sudo dpkg-reconfigure --priority low gdm
[03:08] <timo901> i had this problem my self
[03:08] <yakumo> but i don't have windows install...
[03:09] <highneko> Dpkg says: No packages found matching *mplayer*. But i used to be able to get these packages just by uncommenting my sources.list file. Is there some copyright problem they're having maybe?
[03:09] <stefg> !mplayer

[03:09] <houseB> hi.. can an ADSL modem work as a dialup ?
[03:09] <aled> un_operateur: ok done so

[03:09] <highneko> stefg: Thanks, but that's not exactly the answer I was looking for. :3
[03:09] <justin__> Vuen, awesome thanks, must have missed that step
[03:09] <un_operateur> aled -- CTRL+ALT+F7 ..
[03:10] <justin__> timo901, thanks for the help though
[03:10] <Vuen> justin__: http://wiki.beryl-project.org/wiki/Install/Ubuntu
[03:10] <timo901> sorted ?
[03:10] <stefg> highneko: read carefully... the sentence starts with ... enable the universe repo .... :-)
[03:10] <aled> un_operateur: it just takes me back to that error screen
[03:10] <aled> should I reboot?
[03:10] <Vuen> justin__: until you get emerald working, remember alt+click moves windows and alt+middleclick resizes them
[03:10] <gabi> hi - i need some help with setting thunderbird on Dapper
[03:11] <un_operateur> aled -- ok -- back to command prompt and this -- sudo /etc/init.d/gdm reload
[03:11] <emun> please where is the livecd for mythtv available for download
[03:11] <stefg> highneko: forgot to sudo apt-get update after editing /etc/apt/sources.list?
[03:11] <justin__> Vuen, thanks
[03:11] <timo901> Vuen:its an easy problem to solve ,looks like he has
[03:11] <highneko> stefg: No.
[03:11] <timo901> sudo apt-get update -f
[03:11] <aled> un_operateur: ok it says Changes will take effect when all current X sessions have loaded...
[03:12] <gilnim> I installed Windows XP on a second partition (E:/)- Win wrote its bootsector on the first partition (C:/)
[03:12] <gilnim> after that I installed ubuntu on the first partition (C:/)
[03:12] <gilnim> i thought grub would recognise win xp but it didn't. i can boot ubuntu but i donno what to do to get win xp to boot
[03:12] <gabi> i get an error saying the mail server responded 5.7.0 when trying to send mail from thunderbird
[03:12] <un_operateur> aled -- ok  -- sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart;
[03:12] <stefg> !grub
[03:12] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:12] <highneko> I was asking, I used to be able to get these packages just by uncommenting that file. Is the package available for you people? maybe it's just my local mirror?
[03:13] <un_operateur> highneko, can you pastebin your sources.list please
[03:13] <aled> un_operateur: failed to start the X server again, I haven't a clue whats wrong :(
[03:13] <gilnim> stefg: i need some help restoring windows - not grub ...
[03:13] <un_operateur> aled, can you tell me briefly what the error is saying? what files are missing? etc
[03:13] <highneko> this one should do it right? deb http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[03:14] <un_operateur> gilnim, you said you installed XP to C:  and then ubuntu on C: ... errm, what does that say?
[03:14] <emun> who knows how to install mythtv
[03:14] <stefg> gilnim: look into /boot/grub/menu.lst, you'll find a premade entry for a win-boot there, just uncomment it and adapt it to your situation
[03:14] <gilnim> un_operateur: i installed xp on E: and linux after that on C:
[03:14] <gilnim> stefg: doesn't work
[03:15] <stefg> !does:t work
[03:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about does:t work - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:15] <un_operateur> gilnim, the boot sector to windows usually must always reside on C: -- if you install anything on C: afterwards it gets overridden -- so the bootsector no longer exists
[03:15] <stefg> !doesnt work
[03:15] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about doesnt work - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:15] <gilnim> stefg: i'm not quite sure how grub counts the partitions
[03:15] <stefg> !doesn't work
[03:15] <ubotu> Please elaborate, your question or issue may not seem clear or detailed enough for people to help you. Please give more detailed information, errors, steps, and possibly configuration files (use the !pastebin to avoid flooding the channel)
[03:16] <_3lj> hey all, im having problems, im trying to install ubuntu server, to just get to the comand line, and to install fluxbox ontop, and i have used apt-get to install all the xserver stuff, but whenenver i try and start it, i get an "Error: Couldn't connect to XServer" is this common/anyone else had it? / know of any sites which tell me how to fix it?
[03:16] <gilnim> un_operateur: i know - i want to know if someone knows how to restore it
[03:16] <stefg> gilnim: grub counts by starting at 0, not at 1... /dev/hda1 == (hd0,0)
[03:16] <IdleOne> ubotu, tell gilnim about grub
[03:17] <gilnim> does it count the difference between primary and extendet parition?
[03:17] <aled> un_operateur: give me a mo
[03:17] <stefg> gilnim:  please read the grub manual
[03:17] <emun> bye, simce i cam not get help  with this mythtv stuff
[03:17] <gilnim> cya
[03:18] <un_operateur> gilnim, you'll need to restore the win bootloader to c:\ .. install ubuntu on someother extended partition (not C:) .. and then configure grub to boot windows of C: and ubuntu of the partition to which /boot corresponds to
[03:19] <stefg> un_operateur: he'd get ntldr missing, if that's the case
sorry but i don't have windows install is there any way to fix it??? :)
[03:19] <aled> un_operateur: http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b134/einsteinshamster/STA60028.jpg that is what I get
[03:20] <un_operateur> stefg, thats always how i've dual booted
[03:20] <un_operateur> stefg, how do you do it?
[03:20] <un_operateur> yakumo, you have a windows CD perhaps??
[03:20] <yakumo> yup
i have windows xp cd
[03:21] <stefg> un_operateur: i have a 100 MB service/boot/grub partition ... somewhat to complex to explain in 2 lines

[03:22] <un_operateur> yakumo, ok, what was the name of the file again?
[03:23] <Afief> How do i upgrade from Dapper to Edgy?
[03:23] <spikeb> !upgrade
[03:23] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
sori but what file again??? :)
[03:25] <stefg> _3lj: Why don't you use fluxbuntu?... have you already done 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' ?
[03:25] <_3lj> i tried fluxbuntu, but was trying to learn how to do it from scratch, perhaps where im going wrong :-P
[03:26] <un_operateur> stefg, thats what i mean too -- C:\ as 100Mb -- E:\ as say 20GB -- linux boot next and / after that -- XP installs to E:\ but writes boot.ini to C:\ and NTLDR to boot sector -- ubuntu installs normall on /boot and / but overwrites the bootsector -- if it is then configured properly to boot windows off of C: and linux off of /boot it ought to work
[03:26] <Russel> hiho
[03:26] <un_operateur> yakumo, what is the name of the file that you are missing in wine??
[03:26] <thoreauputic> _3lj: first install x-window-system-core, and maybe at least an xterm
[03:26] <sally2> can one share files between mac osx and ubuntu?
sori wait for a moment.
[03:27] <Russel> i got a problem: i installed dapper and updatet to edgy but now if i want to login to gnome the gnome loads and crashes (after loading update manager)
[03:27] <theblue> Hi all.
[03:27] <_3lj> (and no i havent tried, that, dare i ask, what does that do? (im a bit new to linux, just getting the hang of apt-get, what does dpkg do? :-/)
[03:27] <pedro> Hi all. I want to install beryl in my desktop.
[03:27] <stefg> _3lj: you are probably miising some packages (xfonts is very popular to be forgotten). That's where metapackages help, because the draw all the right dependencies
[03:27] <theblue> Is there a way to have a common set of login/passwords, home directories, etc. across several servers?
[03:27] <Russel> it crashes me back to gdm if i try to login again the whole pc freezes can't even get to a tty
[03:28] <un_operateur> aled, ok, i'm just doing a search ATM -- bear with me
[03:28] <pedro> but i dont know what 3d card i have?
[03:28] <aled> un_operateur: it's ok, the wait for Christmas takes long enough, in your own time as you've been such a great help to me so far :)
[03:28] <pedro> how can i know? anyone know a good howto about beryl?
mswinsck.ocx
[03:29] <_3lj> stefg: ah ok, ill try the dpkg and also look to make sure i have gotten all the xfonts, thanks for the help, brb
[03:30] <thoreauputic> _3lj: x-window-system-core and xterm should give you a base: install fluxbox and startx should then start it, although better would be startfluxbox
[03:31] <thoreauputic> or startx /usr/bin/startfluxbox
[03:32] <savvas> does ubuntu have a dns cache program?

[03:35] <timo901> ahh i almost had it
[03:35] <Cosmonaut3030> timo901: apt-cache search tcl-tk
[03:35] <Life> do apt-get update then search for it

also i have download a zip file that has a plugin folder, and the .exe, do i need the plugin folder to completely install it on wine??? :)

[03:37] <Cosmonaut3030> It should work.

[03:40] <arnor> all: Hello :)
[03:40] <timo901> thoreauputic:for instance i should have sudo apt-cache amsn tcl ?
[03:40] <adam0509> do someone knows how to restart X ? I'm making a script...
[03:40] <GreyGhost-Ubuntu> !hi | adam0509 , arnor
[03:40] <ubotu> adam0509 , arnor: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[03:41] <poppyer> hi all, my SHIFT-NUMLOCK to use keyboard simualte mouse is not working, any setting/files should I check
[03:41] <stockfisch_> /etc/init.d/gdm|xgl restart
[03:41] <adam0509> "startx" is for start, bbut is there any "stopx" or something like that ?
[03:41] <adam0509> I'm not using XGL
[03:41] <adam0509> it's for a old PIII
[03:41] <stefg> adam0509: if you run this script from a terminal inside X it will hardly continue after that command :-)
[03:41] <thoreauputic> timo901: no, apt-cache search amsn tcl  ( sudo not needed for search)
[03:41] <un_operateur> yakumo, n/m -- here you are -- www.aliensoftware.co.uk/Files0908/MSWINSCK.OCX
[03:41] <stockfisch_> ah, sorry this is for gnome, not for x
[03:41] <timo901> ohh ok
[03:41] <poppyer> adam0509, try CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE
[03:41] <luxu> I use old p2 300m
[03:42] <timo901> thx
[03:42] <GreyGhost-Ubuntu> how can i get synaptic to display only packages from the CD roM?
[03:42] <un_operateur> yakumo, if you want additional files -- www.dll-files.com
[03:42] <adam0509> stefg => I want to copy xorg.conf.tv to xorg.conf then restart X
[03:42] <arnor> adam0509: or just have a look on "init" documentation
[03:42] <un_operateur> aled, you there?
[03:42] <thoreauputic> timo901: sudo apt-get install apt-howto && apt-howto  ;-)
[03:42] <thoreauputic> seriously
[03:42] <adam0509> it's for a Geforce 256DDR using TV-OUT
 ok thnks
[03:42] <vonbruno> hi all. any expert have 10 mins to help me with kubuntu 6.10 install?
[03:42] <johns^> adam0509: ctrl-alt-backspace kills the x server

[03:43] <ubotu> vonbruno: 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?
[03:43] <adam0509> johns^, => I know, but I want a command so that itt will be INSIDE the script
[03:43] <johns^> ah
[03:43] <adam0509> just avec copying xorg.conf.tv to xorg
[03:43] <johns^> killall gdm
[03:43] <johns^> \?
[03:43] <thoreauputic> vonbruno: also try /join #kubuntu
[03:43] <adam0509> after*
[03:43] <timo901> thoreauputic:yep
[03:43] <timo901> thanks for the wisdom
[03:43] <aled> un_operateur: am now
[03:44] <stefg> adam0509: on ubuntu it's wiser to restart gdm... sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[03:44] <un_operateur> aled, have a look at this -- http://lists.debian.org/debian-x/2006/10/msg00395.html
[03:44] <thoreauputic> timo901: you can find the apt howto on line too
[03:44] <aled> un_operateur: thanks :) will do
[03:44] <un_operateur> aled, well, it's saying -- you dont need that module
[03:44] <adam0509> ...mmm gonna test some things, thanks all for the answer
[03:45] <un_operateur> aled, and that you'll need to comment it out of your xorg.conf gile
[03:45] <thoreauputic> timo901: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/
[03:45] <aled> un_operateur: so I have to comment that line out in the xorg.conf file?
[03:45] <aled> un_operateur: lol ok
[03:45] <un_operateur> aled, ha, yea :)
[03:45] <aled> un_operateur: how will I do that using the command line? sorry If I'm becoming a pain
[03:45] <un_operateur> aled, at the terminal -- sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:46] <un_operateur> aled, no worries -- I learn too eh :)
[03:46] <vonbruno> ok - i'm trying to install ubuntu 6.10 live cd on asus a2d laptop (ati mobility radeon, via chipset, amd) - kernel loads, but installation halts before anything shows up
[03:47] <vonbruno> tried with noapic, nolapic and vga=771
[03:47] <un_operateur> aled, I dunno how the line looks like -- but the point is -- once you find it -- put a # at the beginning of the line
[03:47] <aled> un_operateur: ok I'm guessing it's the one that says Load "GLcore"
[03:47] <wasabi_> when compiling a new kernel, do i have to do it on the same machine or can i just compile it on a different machine and then transfer?
[03:48] <un_operateur> aled, aye, that sure looks like it
[03:48] <DinmO> Is there a good program to safely copy stuff over, because nautilus always just terminates and stops without warning
[03:48] <aled> un_operateur: so just a # at the beginning right?
[03:48] <alper> hi, where can I find the userChrome of Firefox? ./mozilla/firefox/XXXXXXX.XXXXX/chrome/userChrome.css
[03:48] <alper> where is that?
[03:48] <DinmO> And I never know if it copied over right
[03:48] <DinmO> until it's too late
[03:48] <un_operateur> wasabi_, you can do either -- but ideally you should do it on the same machine so it finds the right kernel headers and modules
[03:48] <un_operateur> aled, yes
[03:49] <wasabi_> un_operateur, oh yea! i forgot about that
[03:49] <wasabi_> i was trying to save time because my laptop is fairly slow
[03:49] <aled> ok shall I just now reboot un_operateur
[03:49] <un_operateur> aled, have you saved the file , etc etc
[03:49] <un_operateur> ?
[03:49] <aled> yeah
[03:49] <un_operateur> aled, if you have just verify that the changes are made -- less /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:50] <gili> how does one customize the taskbar
[03:50] <gili> ?>
[03:50] <lmg> oh, that was quick. hi #ubuntu! :)
[03:50] <gili> yes i am new
[03:50] <thoreauputic> alper: in your home directory - hit ctrl-h in nautilus to see hidden dot files
[03:50] <grimeboy> gili, Right click
[03:50] <alper> thanks thoreauputic
[03:50] <grimeboy> gili, Add to Panel
[03:50] <aled> un_operateur: yeah its been saved, now that I've done that less thing how do I get out of it?
[03:50] <grimeboy> gili, Shove what you want on there.
[03:51] <un_operateur> aled -- q :)
[03:51] <lmg> catch you later maybe! *waves*
[03:51] <wasabi_> un_operateur, is there an optimization guide for compiling kernel specific to intel m laptops?
[03:51] <gili> yes i know that
[03:51] <wasabi_> pentium m*
[03:51] <gili> i meant customizing the lok
[03:51] <gili> look
[03:51] <aled> un_operateur: :D I remember that now, sometimes they are pretty simple, I have learnt a lot today :)
[03:52] <gili> like i dont want it to say "applications"
[03:52] <un_operateur> aled -- also remembed this sequence -- CTRL+C incase you get stuck in a utility -- it almost always terminate it and brings you back to the terminal
[03:52] <gili> i want it to say start or GNome or whatever...
[03:52] <grimeboy> Is there a way to get screenshots to not suck on dual head in gnome?
[03:52] <aled> un_operateur: I certainly won't forget that then :)
[03:52] <un_operateur> wasabi -- errm, not that i know off-- its not my speciality -- i've only done it twice and both times it's pretty straight forward as long as you know what modules to include and what not to
[03:53] <aled> un_operateur: do you know where the best place is to learn about the CLI and networking and administrating other PCs using it etc.?
[03:53] <gili> so.....how do i customize the taskbar to Look different
[03:53] <gili> ??
[03:53] <rance> I need some help with a sound card detection problem, I HAVE read the standard ubuntu sound help pages that the ubot spits out, but no avail.  I have read that there is a bug in the alsa module that improperly detects the features of the sound card, but for the record the right module IS loaded, can someone give me a hand, or at least a more informative pointer than the standard sound helps, cause they dont help any more

[03:57] <bibek> any similar programs?

[04:07] <DinmO> Like retry and stuff
[04:07] <thoreauputic> berbear_: yes, but it lets everything in/out
[04:08] <un_operateur> berbear_, its always a good idea to use a firewall
[04:08] <stefg> berbear_: no, and no
[04:08] <berbear_> ok
[04:08] <thoreauputic> by default. iptables has a full ACCEPT policy
[04:08] <un_operateur> stefg, you dont need a firewall if you use a router??
