[00:00] <waw31> I have a quick question I couldnt find an answer with google
[00:00] <waw31> lately aptitude is asking me the pass twice
[00:00] <nickrud> RyanPrior,  sudo netstat -tlpn , will show you what program is listening to what ports
[00:00] <Orbixx> nickrud: Ok, thanks for looking.
[00:00] <waw31> the second one on building tag database
[00:00] <waw31> is that normal? first time I see it is with 8.04
[00:01] <RyanPrior> nickrud: Hmm, it's called dnsmasq
[00:01] <nickrud> RyanPrior, that's an app that provides a nat for a local network
[00:01] <RyanPrior> nickrud: I don't remember installing it - what might be running it?
[00:02] <Ki11ab33z> how do i uninstall hellanzb?
[00:02] <jthacker> dnsmasq is a DNS / DHCP server, i don't think it does nat
[00:02] <Qwexer> I can not get f-spot to start, I tried to load it in terminal and got this msg... http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63475/
[00:02] <Enul3243> can someone please tell me how to install an icon pack for ubuntu 7.10?
[00:03] <nickrud> jthacker, I think you're right, I'm mixing it up with ipmasq (usually used together, or conflicting?) been a while since I used it
[00:04] <nickrud> Enul3243, you should be able to simply drag it onto the window that opens from system->prefs->appearance, then hit the customize button on the themes tab to change it
[00:04] <SnakeAr2> genii: I have no ideas, what about You?
[00:05] <s2>
[00:05] <genii> SnakeAr2: Yes, I did, eg: SnakeArt: The current idea I'm having is to make a symlink of /dev/input/tablet     to /dev/bus/usb/001/007               since this is the actual physical location it's at.  If this seems to work we can make a new udev rule for it in the symlinks section (hopefully)
[00:05] <smithey93> how can i setup mysql5 to work with lightpd and install phpmyadmin?
[00:05] <dmsuperman> How can I play a DVD with 5.1 surround?
[00:07] <SnakeAr2> genii: You're great. Thanx. I try it now, so disconnecting and see You after a while...
[00:08] <genii> SnakeAr2: The symlink will not survive a reboot
[00:08] <unlink_> how can i upgrade to hardy using a special repository?
[00:08] <smithey93> how can i setup mysql5 to work with lightpd and install phpmyadmin?
[00:08] <nickrud> unlink_, #ubuntu+1 is handling hardy questions until release
[00:08] <unlink_> nickrud: thanks
[00:09] <genii> unlink_: Upgrade instructions to Hardy should be available on the usual page after official release date (April 24)
[00:10] <Ki11ab33z> what editor does ubuntu use by default?
[00:10] <smithey93> gedit
[00:10] <Ki11ab33z> in terminal mode
[00:10] <Ki11ab33z> use vi?
[00:10] <docgnome> nano i think
[00:10] <Kris08> Hi again.
[00:10] <Kris08> Could somebody tell me how to dual boot?
[00:10] <Ki11ab33z> how can i switch this to vi?
[00:10] <smithey93> i dont really like vi, nano is easyer to use i think
[00:10] <docgnome> but vim is installed
[00:10] <demonspork> I have an adaptec AHA-2940 scsi controller card with 2 scsi2 drives plugged into, and the correct driver is loaded, but the ubuntu livecd isn't showing them as available hard drives. How do I access them to install a system on?
[00:11] <docgnome> Ki11ab33z: the EDITOR variable in bash
[00:11] <Ki11ab33z> kkk
[00:11] <Ki11ab33z> tx
[00:11] <SnakeAr2> genii: hmm, I see. I've found that I have no /dev/bus/usb/001/007. I've found that 007 file in /dev/usb/002/ .I made a link to it and called it wacom. Maybe it should work?
[00:11] <honkytoke> hey.. i want to be able to make my programs, but where to start?
[00:11] <hyperstream> When i boot my ubuntu up the only way i can get wireless working is if i go to Sys > Admin > Networks and reenter the password and click ok, then it configures it, here is what dmesg says if i IFdown wlan0 and IFup wlan0 or after a boot when it attempts too itself: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63476/
[00:12] <hyperstream> how can i make this work when i boot?
[00:12] <sparr_> Ki11ab33z: update-alternatives --config editor
[00:12] <Flannel> honkytoke: What sort of programs?
[00:12] <genii> SnakeAr2: PErhaps, this is what we are hoping
[00:12] <hyperstream> it saves the stuff to /etc/network/interfaces i believe
[00:12] <honkytoke> everything :P
[00:12] <Flannel> honkytoke: I meant what language
[00:12] <genii> Ki11ab33z: Also: sudo update-alternatives --config   then choose whatever one you want to be the default
[00:12] <hyperstream> but perhaps its not giving the router the right password, or saving the right password hence having to reenter the password
[00:12] <witakr> Hey yall
[00:13] <swatTX> I get the following error when trying to open a terminal, "There was an error creating the child process for this terminal" ... what'd i screw up now?
[00:13] <genii> sparr_: Sorry didn't see your earlier reply on same
[00:13] <SnakeAr2> genii: but You said that it may not survive the reboot. What we can do in such situation?
[00:13] <hyperstream> hey unop  :) care to help me ?  i got ubuntu working on the laptop, i had to go into a config file and change vesa stating changing from true to false
[00:13] <honkytoke> Flannel: thats what i want to know, im fresh m8, i dont know anything about it

[00:13] <Auctionedllama> Hi everyone
[00:14] <bittin> Hello Auctionedllama
[00:14] <Auctionedllama> I have a question actually
[00:14] <genii> SnakeAr2: I explained this already, eg: " If this seems to work we can make a new udev rule for it in the symlinks section (hopefully)"
[00:14] <bittin> Auctionedllama: !ask
[00:14] <bittin> !ask
[00:14] <ubotu> Please don't ask to ask a question, ask the question (all on ONE line, so others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely answer. :-)
[00:14] <Flannel> honkytoke: Ah, I see.  Well, its probably a good idea to take it to #ubuntu-offtopic then, we'll be able to give you more detailed help for this sort of thing there.
[00:14] <Auctionedllama> I just installed ubuntu studio recently
[00:14] <Auctionedllama> !ask I just installed ubuntu studio recently, and got my ATI card working a few minutes ago, but I can't get compiz to work.. when i enable it the screen goes white

[00:17] <Kris08> Vista
[00:17] <user1>  using linux,i have some friends sharing my internet. i have 30k vacant and 3 friends. is there a way that i define the combine band limit for 3 users combined as 30 k . not 10k for each. that way if 2 are  online they can share 15k each. and if all 3 are online. they will be spreaded 10k each in managed behaviour. any way.i have a dlink switch. and in futer i may take a fourth one and give him a dedicated 20k limit alone. so i need control?
[00:17] <user1> by wondershaper or ebox. or any other, what i have in mind is 30k for 3 users. if all are online 10k is given to each. if 2 are online 15k to each. 1 then 30k to him. and other 4th user gets 20k seperat dedi bandwidth.. how can i do it?tEE!

[00:20] <chuy_max> user1, maybe you want a bandwidth limiting router?

[00:21] <Auctionedllama> I tried that command
[00:21] <Auctionedllama> to no success
[00:21] <chuy_max> user1, or maybe you cant get a modified firmware for it
[00:21] <Kris08> lol
[00:21] <hyperstream> unop: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63480/
[00:21] <Kris08> Which one do I do?

[00:22] <witakr> ?
[00:22] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, then you don't have the proper drivers I guess
[00:22] <WDX> AlexG1: modify /etc/apt/sources.list and comment out the cdrom line
[00:22] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, no output?
[00:22] <AlexG1> thansk WDX
[00:22] <user1> Chui firmware?

[00:22] <smithey93> BarryToeman: thanks mate
[00:22] <Auctionedllama> ya, no output or anything
[00:22] <Auctionedllama> Crap, how can I get the right drivers then mate/
[00:22] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, check which one you are using
[00:22] <Auctionedllama> I assumed I did, I ran Envy, and my resolution never worked until afterwards
[00:23] <Auctionedllama> Check which one what? Check which driver?
[00:23] <AlexG1> genii: WDX's way worked
[00:23] <Auctionedllama> How?
[00:23] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama type this in terminal: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf|grep Driver
[00:23] <genii> AlexG1: Either's good :)
[00:23] <hyperstream> unop: i use Sys>Admin>Network to configure the wlan0 interface. to get it working i have to wipe out the wpa password and reenter it to make it work
[00:23]  * avriette haaaaaaaaaaaaates computers
[00:23] <Auctionedllama> ok
[00:23] <Auctionedllama> Uh
[00:23] <WDX> AlexG1: Genii's way works as well, his is just gui based.
[00:23] <Auctionedllama> want me to copy and pasta it?
[00:23] <SeaPhor> AlexG1: did you have internet access during installation, just a question, i had to fix that for a friend and am working on a better way then the way I did it
[00:23] <Auctionedllama>         Driver          "kbd"
[00:23] <Auctionedllama>         Driver          "mouse"
[00:23] <Auctionedllama>         Driver          "wacom"
[00:23] <Auctionedllama>         Driver          "wacom"
[00:23] <Auctionedllama>         Driver          "wacom"
[00:23] <FloodBot2> Auctionedllama: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[00:23] <Auctionedllama>         Driver          "fglrx"
[00:24] <avriette> heh

[00:24] <Auctionedllama> sorry
[00:24] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, pm?

[00:24] <AlexG1> SeaPhor: I do believe it detected my wifi during install
[00:24] <AlexG1> if not wifi it was lan cable
[00:25] <laughzilla> :s  .... anyone know about importing from canon ixy 800 IS to ubuntu ??
[00:25] <WDX> smithy: a is archive r is recursive v is verbal -- man cp and find out about other options
[00:25] <tom____> freenx vs vnc? What do you recommend? I've heard freenx is a lot faster. I'd like to be able to access a desktop through an ssh tunnel. how hard would that be to do in freenx? should I just stay with vnc?
[00:25] <Auctionedllama> chuy, accept the Pm thingy
[00:25] <SeaPhor> AlexG1: Thanks! :-)) that would eliminate the first question,,, Thanks again
[00:26] <phoenix24> How can I clean my /var/logs directory ?
[00:26] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, I guess you have to register at freenode, aren't you registered?
[00:26] <phoenix24> flush all /var/logs ?
[00:26] <Auctionedllama> nope
[00:26] <Auctionedllama> my bad
[00:26] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, use pastebin then
[00:26] <Auctionedllama> I did
[00:26] <freewilly> hey..put it in /boot/grub/grub.conf & adjust it to your needs
[00:26] <Auctionedllama> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63481/
[00:26] <Auctionedllama> theres link
[00:26] <SnakeArt> genii: I'm here again.  Just as You said: our link in /dev/input/ disappear. Now what next?
[00:26] <AlexG1> Next question is that when I go to compile stuff it gives me a lot of errors about the shell not being bash how do I fix this?
[00:26] <TwinX> !who | Auctionedllama
[00:26] <WDX> phoenix24: Y would you want to? but if it is just individual logs, you can echo '' > /var/log/log.name
[00:26] <ubotu> Auctionedllama: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :)
[00:26] <freewilly> it's for 2 physical disks
[00:27] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, you are using fglrx, so you have to have direct rendering
[00:27] <witakr> Can some one PLEASE help me with my DVD problem? Please?
[00:27] <Auctionedllama> !tab
[00:27] <ubotu> You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[00:27] <genii> SnakeArt: When you made the symlink and then reloaded X, did the tablet work as it was supposed to?
[00:27] <tom____> no thoughts on freenx vs vnc?
[00:27] <Auctionedllama> How do I get that? and how do I use the !tab thing
[00:27] <BarryToeman> tom____: another option is X forwarding: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_X-forwarding
[00:27] <WDX> Anyone got a howto on moving to LDAP Auth entirely? I would like to get rid of file auth
[00:27] <Auctionedllama> Sorry, I usually use MIRC
[00:27] <genii> SnakeArt: If you didn't do this yet, try again
[00:27] <Auctionedllama> !tab chuy_max
[00:27] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tab chuy_max - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:27] <AlexG1> so does anyone know how to change the shell to BASH?
[00:27] <Auctionedllama> eek D
[00:27] <phoenix24> WDX: I'm running low on HDD capacity, and logs are in over GB's now. (trying to make some space)
[00:28] <SnakeArt> genii: I haven't try that, but I will.
[00:28] <N3wbieferLinux> my opengl isn't working..I need to install latest nvida drivers..anyone?
[00:28] <hyperstream> unop: its almost as if the password isnt being encrypted into interfaces properly?
[00:28] <tom____> BarryToeman: doesn't x forwarding require that linux be your client as well?
[00:28] <Auctionedllama> !chuy_max hi
[00:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about chuy_max hi - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[00:28] <Auctionedllama> crap
[00:28] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, can you run other 3D apps?
[00:28] <Auctionedllama> Like?
[00:28] <WDX> phoenix24: the above command will work, but make sure you backup everything you may need first. and stay away from the non human readable logs.
[00:29] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, tremulous
[00:29] <amenado> AlexG1-> you have tried  /bin/bash  ?
[00:29] <Auctionedllama> Mmhm get me a link, I'll try
[00:29] <BarryToeman> tom____: yes, i assumed you were linux-linux
[00:29] <witakr> Tremulous Is wierd
[00:29] <phoenix24> WDX: does any tool exist for cleaning up the logs ?
[00:29] <BarryToeman> tom____: and it isn't really a whole "desktop" view like VNC/NX
[00:29] <hyperstream> N3wbieferLinux: Sytem > Admin > Restricted Drivers
[00:29] <dmsuperman> How can I playback my DVD using my full 5.1 surround sound?

[00:29] <witakr> Can some one PLEASE help me with my DVD problem? PREEEEETTTYYYYY Pleeeeeeease?
[00:29] <WDX> phoenix24: use aptitude to look for a log ratation

[00:29] <tom____> BarryToeman: is nx faster than vnc? any downsides to it?
[00:29] <witakr> lol
[00:30] <Auctionedllama> uhm chuy, I can't seem to find it
[00:30] <witakr> chuy_max: yeah, i like it too.. its just wierd though
[00:30] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, tremulous is a game, you can get it in synaptic
[00:30] <Auctionedllama> o

[00:30] <Auctionedllama> downloading now, found it
[00:30] <witakr> Auctionedllama: or Add/Remove
[00:30] <tom____> what's the difference between sudo and gksudo?
[00:30] <Auctionedllama> Ya found it
[00:31] <WDX> phoenix24: apt-get install  lograte -- should be a straightforward config
[00:31] <Auctionedllama> also, off topic, but is there a photoshop for Ubuntu?
[00:31] <Flannel> Auctionedllama: GIMP
[00:31] <WDX> phoenix24: s/lograte/logrotate/
[00:31] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, GIMP, installed by ubuntu cd by default
[00:31] <Auctionedllama> oo
[00:31] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, you should have it if you installed the standard CD
[00:31] <Auctionedllama> lemme look at this
[00:31] <witakr> Flannel: HA!, GIMP is great! but it isnt at the level of Photoshop
[00:31] <phoenix24> WDX: thanks I'm looking into it.
[00:31] <Auctionedllama> I installed studio, and yes I have it
[00:31] <CapaH> How difficult is it to take 20 gigs off of /usr and give it to /var ?
[00:32] <Auctionedllama> also, brb tremolous is installing, don't logoff chuy :P
[00:32] <chuy_max> tom____, gksudo is graphical, sudo is not
[00:32] <MrPeepers310> hey, ubuntu can see my webcam but whenever i try to use it with canorama it tells me that it's not connected when it's actually built into the laptop!
[00:32] <tom____> chuy_max: ah..thanks :-)
[00:32] <fortytwo> qt vs gtk2 vs wxwidgets... gtk2's window redraw methods seem very very slow on my system when resizing widgets compared to qt, wx widgets... is this normal?
[00:32] <BarryToeman> tom____: I believe with NX windows can only act as the client, and not the server
[00:32] <witakr> chuy_max: can you help me with my DVD issue?

[00:33] <MrPeepers310> hey, ubuntu can see my webcam but whenever i try to use it with canorama it tells me that it's not connected when it's actually built into the laptop!

[00:34] <tom____> BarryToeman: I know. i want to nx from windows to ubutu
[00:35] <Flannel> CapaH: ext3 has no problem moving the end of the partition, the beginning sometimes causes problems (well, always is more complicated, lots of times is doable)

[00:36] <dryrot> is there 64 bit xen server for 64 bit ubuntu ?
[00:36] <tom____> BarryToeman: alright..thanks :-)
[00:36] <Flannel> CapaH: Assuming youre not on LVM this is.  Since, on LVM it's super easy.  But, you'll need to boot to a liveCD and then use Gparted (thats easiest, you could use others)
[00:37] <smithey93> hey guys, is there any other sort of dock appart from awn? because i only want 2 launch programs from it, no minimise them into it

[00:37] <s2> im trying to get ubuntu to boot from the live cd onto my laptop but it doesnt seem to be working. Ive gone into the BIOS and told the computer to boot from the cd, but it insists on starting up in windows. Ive read on the help forums that the way around this is to get smartbootmanager on a floppy but my laptop can only have a cd drive OR a floppy drive in it at one time, does anyone know a way around this?
[00:38] <rycole> hey all. when trying to ./configure the apache portable runtime with the mysql flag enabled, does anyone know why it'd say "checking for mysql_init in -lmysqlclient_r... no

[00:38] <SnakeArt> genii: And still nothing
[00:38] <s2> yea
[00:39] <bazhang> s2: this is for a dual boot? you might consider unetbootin or wubi then
[00:39] <s2> install ubuntu
[00:39] <witakr> dmsuperman: do a clean install of <IP_ADDRESS>
[00:39] <s2> no dual boot, im trying to get a fresh start with this comp.
[00:39] <smithey93> s2: download the alternate disk, its a hell of a lot easyer
[00:39] <s2> ill try that
[00:39] <dmsuperman> witakr, where can I get <IP_ADDRESS> from?
[00:40] <Auctionedllama> hey chuy
[00:40] <smithey93> s2: go for it:), if not, tell it not to boot from the harddrive an only from the cd if its possible on your bios
[00:40] <Auctionedllama> Tremulous is almost done

[01:02] <Amelie22> someone told me that ubuntu is made especially for blackpeople, is that true ?
[01:02] <g3nocide`> I'm running 7.10 on an acer laptop with a broadcom wireless card. every time i start up i need to go into the network manager, retype the network key for my wpa network, and then it will connect. it will not auto connect on start up. anyone know of a script or something i can use to auto up this when ubuntu starts???
[01:02] <Kevin`> theunixgeek: no, you would have to repair grub
[01:02] <Daisuke_Ido> McJester, shouldn't be, should be exactly the same
[01:02] <hyperstream> theunixgeek:  i think you have to rework grub
[01:02] <SeaPhor> kristofernathan: sorry not any that havent been covered,,, will it boot off of the live cd?
[01:02] <hyperstream> caues xp puts its on 'bootloader' on the hdd
[01:02] <theunixgeek> drat...
[01:02] <bazhang> theunixgeek: you would need to do some grub fiddling then yes you could get both to boot easily
[01:03] <Amelie22> anyone?
[01:03] <kristofernathan> SeaPhor: no, i had to install using the text
[01:03] <bazhang> Amelie22: not here

[01:03] <Amelie22> stop what ?
[01:03] <Amelie22> i am asking a question

[01:03] <Amelie22> are you racist ?
[01:04] <icesword> bazhang, so early,good morning.
[01:04] <Amelie22> do you have a problem with blackpeople ?
[01:04] <kristofernathan> hyperstream: no i changed my video card because it was flickering in and out here and there and when i rebooted ubuntu wouldnt boot
[01:04] <bazhang> hello icesword
[01:04] <brunner> I mean, how do I just get raw access to my modem at /dev/ttyACM0?
[01:04] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, did you try the wiki? (the link ubotu gave you), you should properly install your drivers following that guide, did you stuck on some point?

[01:05] <Amelie22> yes i know
[01:05] <hyperstream> kristofernathan: have you tried selecting the kernel you want to boot into and pushing E, then E again and taking Splash and Quiet off and then hit enter then B to boot the kernel with the newly modified Boot command? so you can see what exactly happens
[01:05] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- all it said to do was to go to restricted drivers manager and isntall
[01:05] <theunixgeek> Amelie22: Ubuntu is made for all to use :)
[01:05] <Amelie22> but what about the design/ergonomy
[01:05] <Amelie22> maybe the person lied to me ...
[01:05] <theunixgeek> Amelie22: better than Windows
[01:05] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- I did so, and restarted twice, and no difference
[01:05] <hyperstream> Does anyone know how to get my Laptops : build in mouse pad and its 2 buttons working instead of a usb mouse??
[01:05] <bazhang> !ot | Amelie22
[01:05] <ubotu> Amelie22: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:05] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- and it says they're activated
[01:05] <hyperstream> built*
[01:05] <Kris08> Could someone tell me how to use this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63479/ please?
[01:05] <Amelie22> he told me that ubuntu was designed especially for blackpeople
[01:05] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- also I am dualbooting windows, so could the drivers be crossing over?
[01:05] <Amelie22> ah thanks ill ask in offtopic
[01:05] <theunixgeek> Amelie22: I agree with bazhang - that is not a support question ;)
[01:05]  * Daisuke_Ido sniffs the air
[01:06] <theunixgeek> what's the best emulator for Ubuntu?
[01:06] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, no, that's not possible
[01:06] <bazhang> ready to call ops on amerie22
[01:06] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- alright
[01:06] <LjL> theunixgeek: emulator of what?
[01:06] <hyperstream> Does Wacom have anything to do with my laptops mouse pad ??
[01:06] <theunixgeek> LjL: Windows
[01:06] <LjL> (and what's "best"?)
[01:06] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, that's odd
[01:06] <Daisuke_Ido> smell a bridge...  something lurking underneath...
[01:06] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- I saw a download link for a driver on ATI's website but its a .run and I don't know how to run it
[01:06] <theunixgeek> LjL: one that can get me up to a 1200 x 1024 resolution, has network connectivity, and sound.
[01:06] <witakr> Can someone please help me figure out why i get this error when trying to activate DVD decryption?.... sudo: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh: command not found\
[01:06] <Daisuke_Ido> theunixgeek, wine.
[01:06] <LjL> theunixgeek: ah, so it's a PC emulator you're talking about.
[01:07] <chuy_max> theunixgeek, there is no such thing as windows emulator (WINE=wine is not an emulator)
[01:07] <Daisuke_Ido> or virtualbox
[01:07] <chuy_max> theunixgeek, you can use an x86 emulator and install windows, or emulate the windows api with wine
[01:07] <theunixgeek> Daisuke_Ido: Wine doesn't support the software I want to run
[01:07] <bazhang> witakr: you have libdvdread and libdvdcss installed?
[01:07] <theunixgeek> chuy_max: well, a PC emulator
[01:07] <witakr> yes, i was following this:
[01:07] <theunixgeek> chuy_max: that can emulate Windows
[01:07] <witakr> !DVD
[01:07] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[01:07] <theunixgeek> that's what I meant ;)
[01:07] <chuy_max> theunixgeek, qemu
[01:07] <Starnestommy> witakr: run it as 'sudo sh /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/install-css.sh'
[01:07] <LjL> theunixgeek, vmware, virtualbox, qemu, bochs. roughly in order of speed.
[01:07] <hyperstream> !touchpad
[01:07] <ubotu> For a comprehensive Synaptics Touchpad guide, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad
[01:08] <theunixgeek> LjL: I like that list; thanks
[01:08] <Kris08> Could someone tell me how to use this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63479/ please?
[01:08] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- how do I run a .run?
[01:08] <LjL> theunixgeek: also, /msg ubotu best
[01:08] <witakr> Starnestommy: OK, I will try that but that means there is a correctio needed on that info page...
[01:08] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, ./file.run
[01:08] <bazhang> Kris08: some background info please first
[01:08] <dmsuperman> What's a gnome browser beside firefox? anybody?
[01:08] <kristofernathan> okay i got logged in by adding vga=771 to the kernal line
[01:08] <LjL> !browsers > dmsuperman    (dmsuperman, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:08] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- so it should be in terminal
[01:09] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- ./ati-driver-installer-8-4-x86.x86_64
[01:09] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, yeah, but following the instructions you should have downloaded the same thing (automatically I guess, I don't quite remember)
[01:09] <witakr> Starnestommy: OK, I get this error now: sudo: /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh: command not found
[01:09] <SeaPhor> kristofernathan: cool,
[01:09] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- all the instructions said were to click one button in administrator so..
[01:09] <witakr> Starnestommy: wait, thats not the error
[01:09] <LjL> dmsuperman: to begin with, Firefox is not a GNOME browser, it's just a browser that uses GTK. anyway, these are GNOME browsers: epiphany-browser, galeon. and these are browsers mostly using GTK: midori, dillo, edbrowse, kazehakase
[01:10] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, hey man, did you loaded the fglrx module?
[01:10] <witakr> Starnestommy: here is the correct error: sh: Can't open /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh
[01:10] <SeaPhor> kristofernathan: now you may need to re-config the xorg.conf
[01:10] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, sudo modprobe fglrx or something like that?
[01:10] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- wait give me that wiki link again?
[01:10] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, I think this one is what you need: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI
[01:10] <dmsuperman> LjL, I just needed any browser that would run in gnome, I'm trying to get firefox <IP_ADDRESS> because there's an obnoxious bug in .13 and .14, and in trying to reinstall it I somehow broke it, so I needed something else to find it until then
[01:10] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- woa lemme try these.. the last ones were different
[01:11] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- I have studio.. is that like gutsy or what?
[01:11] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, it is a X1600 right?
[01:11] <Auctionedllama> x1650
[01:11] <LjL> dmsuperman, for that matter, KDE browsers run in GNOME too...
[01:11] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- and yes, is studio like feisty or gutsy?
[01:11] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, yeah, it should be
[01:11] <g3nocide`> I'm running 7.10 on an acer laptop with a broadcom wireless card. every time i start up i need to go into the network manager, retype the network key for my wpa network, and then it will connect. it will not auto connect on start up. anyone know of a script or something i can use to auto up this when ubuntu starts???
[01:11] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, dunno, that depends on which one you installed
[01:11] <LjL> dmsuperman: anyway, try epiphany-browser, midori or kazehakase, i'd say
[01:12] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, remember if it is 7.04 or 7.10?
[01:12] <hyperstream> g3nocide`:  just solved that 5 mins ago get wicd
[01:12] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- I installed studip
[01:12] <dmsuperman> LjL, oh, alright. I thought it mattered
[01:12] <hyperstream> g3nocide`: forget network  manager
[01:12] <Art> So, anyone have experience with Wallpapoz?
[01:12] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- aww crap.. lemme check
[01:12] <g3nocide`> hyperstream: available via synaptic ?
[01:12] <LjL> dmsuperman: it matters, in that installing a KDE browser will result in getting a ton of KDE libraries installed, too.
[01:12] <bazhang> Art: using compiz?
[01:12] <hyperstream> g3nocide`: let me get you ubuntu guide
[01:12] <SeaPhor> kristofernathan: do you know how to reconfig video drivers?
[01:12] <Art> bazhang, yeah, I am
[01:12] <Kris07> I'm sorry
[01:13] <hyperstream> g3nocide`:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=527488&highlight=wicd
[01:13] <g3nocide`> hyperstream: thanks, pm me the link if you can
[01:13] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- how do I check?
[01:13] <hyperstream> too me hours
[01:13] <Kris07> I lagged out and didn't get anything since my explanation
[01:13] <hyperstream> took*
[01:13] <dmsuperman> LjL, oh. thanks :D
[01:13] <g3nocide`> sweet, thanks
[01:13] <bazhang> Art: there should be an option in compiz to use movies etc as background
[01:13] <hyperstream> g3nocide`:  you know anything about touchpads ?
[01:13] <Art> bazhang, I'm using it to get a different wallpaper for each of my 4 workspaces
[01:14] <bazhang> Art: or to have different bg's on different desktops
[01:14] <Art> it works, but it is very laggy when switching
[01:14] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- i think its 7.10 sao
[01:14] <hyperstream> unop: fixed it with wicd instead of network manager
[01:14] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, System -> about ubuntu
[01:14] <Kris07> So, does anyone know how to use this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63479/ ?
[01:14] <Art> I'm not sure how people get it to be simply the different wallpapers per workspace, rather than having them switch all the time
[01:14] <bazhang> wallpapoz may not still be maintained Art; not sure about that though
[01:14] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- k its 7.10
[01:14] <hyperstream> unop:  do you have any experience getting touchpads working? ive tried many sites etc
[01:14] <chuy_max> Auctionedllama, thats gutsy
[01:15] <bazhang> Kris07: some background info first please
[01:15] <Art> bazhang, I think it is, but I'm not sure, I got it via apt-get
[01:15] <Auctionedllama> chuy_max- kk folliwing driver instructions, I'll ask if I need help, thanks!
[01:15] <chuy_max> ok
[01:15] <unop> hyperstream, hmm, seen !touchpad ?
[01:15] <Kris07> bazhang, I want to dual boot Vista with Ubuntu already installed. I asked earlier and a user gave me this link, but I don't know what to do with it.
[01:16] <hellmitre> hyperstream: what machine are you running on?
[01:16] <hyperstream> unop: sure have i enable it and gui applications to configure it say the xorg.conf needs to have the line to enable it, yet its already there
[01:16] <hyperstream> hellmitre:  its a MSI notebook
[01:16] <bazhang> Kris07: then install vista and fix grub afterwards /msg ubotu grub for the link
[01:16] <hellmitre> MSI?
[01:16] <hyperstream> hellmitre: m610 i believe
[01:17] <Art> As an aside, I'm not sure that my Gusty installation recognizes the existance of my aux battery
[01:17] <hyperstream> hellmitre:  Micro-star International
[01:17] <hellmitre> have you tried out the qsynaptics program or modifying your xorg.conf file?
[01:18] <unop> hyperstream, hmm, i'm not really sure - you could try reconfiguring xorg to see if that helps.   sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg
[01:18] <adam_> can someone help me with playing dvds in mplayer?
[01:18] <hyperstream> hellmitre: all the q/g synaptics say i need to enable it in the xorg.conf ive followed the !touchpad link to enable it
[01:18] <hyperstream> unop:  unplug usb mouse while i do this yes?
[01:19] <hellmitre> SHMConfig "on"?
[01:19] <bazhang> adam_: please describe the errors you are getting; is this gutsy
[01:19] <unop> hyperstream, you don't need to do that
[01:19] <hellmitre> adam_: you might want to try installing libdvdcss2 and VLC
[01:19] <hyperstream> hellmitre:  yes, and gsy application said i needed: SHMConfig "true"
[01:19] <adam_> bazhang, yes, gutsy, i have installed libdvdcss2, and i am getting screensaver control () error
[01:19] <Art> Does Gutsy have any problems recognizing auxillary batteries?
[01:19] <hyperstream> hellmitre: Option "SHMConfig" "on"
[01:19] <hellmitre> hrmm
[01:20] <hellmitre> that's in the Synaptics touchpad section?
[01:20] <Aval0n> anyon in here ever gotten an spdif signal from an intel HD audio pin header?
[01:20] <bazhang> adam_: have you tried other players? vlc as hellmitre suggested?
[01:20] <chronos_> How can I grab the sun jre for my hardy computer?
[01:20] <adam_> bazhang, i have not tried vlc
[01:20] <hellmitre> it's a great video player
[01:20] <adam_> bazhang, is it better than mplayer?
[01:20] <bazhang> chronos_: please ask in hardy channel
[01:20] <hellmitre> hell, media player: it'll play about anything you can throw in it
[01:21] <unop> hyperstream, let's have a look at your xorg.conf file
[01:21] <Art> Does Gutsy have any problems recognizing auxillary batteries? I'm using a Dell Latitude D630 (atg), and I don't think that Ubuntu is accessing my aux battery
[01:21] <hyperstream> hellmitre: its in the: Section "InputDevice" with the Identifier "Synaptics Touchpad"
[01:21] <hyperstream> alright ill upload it brb
[01:22] <adam_> hellmitre, sorry, i do have vlc installed, but havent tried it.. i will now
[01:22] <mc-george> hello, I'm having a great deal of trouble setting up my wireless router, could some one please help me?
[01:22] <Cyberai> Has anyone gotten a sata drive to recognize?
[01:22] <Kris07> bazhang, Thanks.
[01:22] <bazhang> mc-george: use a browser to connect to it
[01:22] <hellmitre> adam_: have you installed the libdvdcss libraries and libdvdread?
[01:22] <hyperstream> unop: hellmitre : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/63484/
[01:23] <mc-george> bazhang: its not recognizing the wifi card
[01:23] <SeaPhor> how do i install vlc?
[01:23] <mc-george> bazhang: so I can only used the wired
[01:23] <NetEcho> Hi I'm working on an Acer Aspire laptop with a busted screen, if I hook up an external monitor to it the BIOS and Windows XP Safe mode display on that monitor but not windows xp non-safe mode.. I was wondering if Ubuntu would accomodate the external monitor from Install and post install
[01:23] <bazhang> mc-george: router or computer?
[01:23] <mc-george> bazhang: computer
[01:23] <adam_> hellmitre, vlc is the shizzle.. thanks
[01:23] <hellmitre> hyperstream: you need to tab over the SHMConfig and following parts so it fits in line with the other stuff
[01:23] <hellmitre> adam_: you're welcome
[01:24] <bazhang> mc-george: what chipset on that wifi card
[01:24] <hyperstream> hellmitre: brb giving that a shot- ctrl alt backspace, or full reboot?
[01:24] <mc-george> bazhang: TRENDnet TEW-444UB
[01:24] <hellmitre> simply restart X
[01:24] <hellmitre> ctrl alt del
[01:24] <adam_> now i need help with my audio i think
[01:24] <adam_> hellmitre, is it usual for the sound to be low in vlc?
[01:24] <NetEcho> does anyone know if ubuntu install supports dual monitor and external monitors?
[01:24] <unop> errdil, ctrl+alt+backspace - hyperstream
[01:25] <IsAB> i remember there was a file you could edit to configure custom windows at predefined positions/sizes to start once you start X, anyone can point me to the right direction? (using xfce if that matters)
[01:25] <hellmitre> yeah, you can turn it up with the little half-orange (in human theme) bar
[01:25] <hellmitre> that's the volume
[01:25] <hellmitre> you can actually get it louder than is probably good for your speakers at full volumes
[01:25] <bazhang> mc-george: that would be the brand and model; we need the actual chipset such as broadcom etc what does lspci say about that card? just the one line not all of lspci thanks
[01:25] <brunner> I don't suppose anyone here has experience with communicating with GSM phones through a serial port, eh?
[01:26] <adam_> hellmitre, its really quiet on my lappy
[01:26] <mc-george> bazhang: I can't find it
[01:26] <tds5016> hey. can someone tell me the biggest changes from 7.10 to .04?
[01:26] <Art> Does Gutsy have any problems recognizing auxillary batteries? I'm using a Dell Latitude D630 (atg), and I don't think that Ubuntu is accessing my aux battery
[01:26] <bazhang> tds5016: there are plenty of links on the web for that
[01:27] <tds5016> bazhang, I've been looking, and haven't seen a changelog.
[01:27] <sudobash> how do i tell chmod to allow write access for a single specific user and not to a whole group?
[01:27] <bazhang> mc-george: this is usb or pcmcia card or what
[01:27] <rycole> hey all. does anyone know which ubuntu package contains apr_dbd_mysql.so, so i can use "DBDriver mysql" in my apache config?
[01:27] <mc-george> bazhang: usb
[01:27] <Sivik> anyone here use servercp?
[01:27] <bazhang> mc-george: then lsusb
[01:27] <Starnestommy> sudobash: chmod u+w file
[01:28] <sudobash> where do you tell it which user you are specifying?
[01:28] <mc-george> bazhang: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 157e:3007  is the only non kb/mouse one
[01:28] <bazhang> tds5016: arstechnica has one
[01:28] <tds5016> bazhang link?
[01:28] <unop> sudobash, you need to use chown first - chown $USER file; chmod u+w file
[01:28] <Starnestommy> sudobash: change the user with 'chown username filename'
[01:28] <hyperstream> unop:  hellmitre : i have tried both of these options: "on" and "true" with no results, error message: GSynaptics couldn't initialize: You have to set 'SHMConfig 'true' in xorg.conf or XF86Config to use Gsynaptics
[01:28] <bazhang> www.arstechnica.com tds5016
[01:28] <SeaPhor> kristofernathan: you still there? you do know you will have to either edit xorg (best way) or edit boot menu ie,,, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:28] <tds5016> I was lookin' for a direct link. haha.
[01:28] <adam_> bazhang, can you help me with my volume?
[01:28] <Sivik> !ati
[01:28] <ubotu> For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:29] <Sivik> !servercp
[01:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about servercp - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[01:29] <unop> hyperstream, can you paste your new xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:29] <hyperstream> unop:  sure give me 2 secs mate
[01:29] <Condoulo> I have a question. I am having to reinstall Windows.... and well I have a certain issue, I dual-boot with Ubuntu, so it will probably destroy GRUB or something along the lines of that.... so would I just have to find a way to reinstall GRUB afterwards or what
[01:29] <g3nocide`> hyperstream: i grabbed wicd via synaptic, i try to /etc/init.d/wicd start and it doesnt stay running, any ideas?
[01:29] <Condoulo> or would I have to reinstall Ubuntu
[01:30] <mc-george> bazhang: any idea?
[01:30] <unop> hyperstream, you can do this for ease.   sudo aptitude install pastebinit;  cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf /var/log/Xorg.0.log | pastebinit  # and give us the link it returns
[01:30] <Starnestommy> Condoulo: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[01:30] <hyperstream> g3nocide`:  i just followed the site, i grabbed the package, and went to Apps Internet Wicd set it up and rebooted to test, worked fine here
[01:30] <hyperstream> unop:  oooo very nice
[01:31] <g3nocide`> that wont run for me when i click that menu item
[01:31] <bazhang> looking now mc-george
[01:31] <g3nocide`> i get nada
[01:31] <mc-george> bazhang: thanks
[01:31] <Dephenom> how can i stop my wireless from crashing on me after an hour or so? i have had to reset three times tonight already because my wireless connection crashes, i have looked everywhere i can think of on the Ubuntu wiki and nothing remotley close to my problem is on there
[01:31] <tds5016> firefox 3 still gonna be the default?
[01:31] <Sivik> yes tds5016
[01:32] <amenado> Dephenom-> your wireless card is? which chip does it uses?
[01:32] <Sivik> Dephenom: is it a bcm43xx?
[01:32] <Dephenom> a lspci shows 06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection (rev 02)
[01:32] <Sivik> Dephenom: ok
[01:32] <bazhang> mc-george: what does ifconfig show; two entries (eth0, lo) or three
[01:32] <hyperstream> unop:  just reading synaptics cannot locate the hardware thanks to the info in the .log
[01:33] <SeaPhor> Dephenom: what encryption does it use?
[01:33] <hyperstream> unop: ill upload it now
[01:33] <amenado> Dephenom-> does the wireless card have a sleep mode feature? ie when not in use for so many minutes, it hibernates?
[01:33] <tds5016> sivik will firefox 3 even be stable by that point?
[01:34] <Dephenom> amenado, not a clue its bundled with the sono viao, all i know is it shuts down when my screensaver is on and nothing but a reboot of the entire laptop will bring it back
[01:34] <mc-george> bazhang: just those 2
[01:35] <harry000> hi guyes
[01:35] <harry000> guys
[01:35] <Sivik> hi
[01:35] <mikee> one questo
[01:35] <Dephenom> SeaPhor, WEP
[01:35] <scorch_> does system 76 fixes work in 64 but version?
[01:35] <scorch_> bit
[01:35] <Sivik> do you have an issue harry000?
[01:35] <hyperstream> unop: blah im getting wireless issues again
[01:35] <Sivik> hyperstream: wireless card?
[01:36] <mikee> smb. a graphical slic client for hardy workin?
[01:36] <SeaPhor> Dephenom: what brand is it, have you checked bios settings?, HP has many settings in bios for wlan/wwan/lan
[01:36] <Sivik> hp is probably a broadcom
[01:36] <harry000> I have a general question about performance of Ubuntu. I have installed Ubuntu since 2 years now. I have never got good performace from Ubuntu (or any Linux). Its always been little slugish.
[01:36] <harry000> is it just my computer....?
[01:36] <hyperstream> Sivik: built into laptop i believe
[01:36] <scorch_> harry: yes
[01:37] <Sivik> hyperstream: what does lspci tell you?
[01:37] <harry000> I have hp dv5000 with ati radean 200m
[01:37] <Dephenom> SeaPhor, its a Sony Viao, ill check the bios on next reboot
[01:37] <harry000> graphics card..
[01:37] <hyperstream> Sivik: gets errors like: Wlan0: RX non-wep frame, but expected encryption
[01:37] <chuy_max> harry000, linux can even run on an ipod
[01:37] <Sivik> harry000, don't ever expect 3d drivers for that card
[01:37] <chuy_max> harry000, so your issue may be graphical desktop
[01:37] <harry000> i think, it will be because of driver issue with graphics card
[01:37] <Sivik> hyperstream, what wireless card?
[01:37] <kindofabuzz> when i go to places then my home folder or Desktop folder it uses Thunar.  Open from anywhere else it uses nautilus. where is that setting?
[01:37] <bazhang> harry000: that is a really old video card
[01:37] <SeaPhor> harry000: I have 3x performance on my Ubuntu partition, I hate booting into windows now
[01:37] <hyperstream> Sivik:  RaLink RT2500 802.11g cardbud/minipci (rev 01)
[01:37] <harry000> okay
[01:38] <harry000> hmmm...
[01:38] <hyperstream> Sivik:  im thinking of using ndiswrapper:/
[01:38] <Sivik> hyperstream, you probably have to use ndiswrapper for that
[01:38] <shyster317> How can I get my soundblaster audigy to play in 5.1?
[01:38] <AlabamaHit> Hello
[01:38] <hyperstream> Sivik: it works every now and then
[01:38] <Sivik> hyperstream, i'm trying to get my desktop's pci ralink to work and the only way it will is via ndiswrapper
[01:38] <harry000> so, it is defintely the graphics card...
[01:38] <hyperstream> Sivik: i had this working using wext
[01:38] <Sivik> harry000: you have to set xorg.conf to vesa to get in the first time
[01:38] <Sivik> hyperstream, i have never used that
[01:39] <amenado> Dephenom-> yeah thats the weak point right now of ubuntu, hibernation...so try not to get it into screensaver mode..
[01:39] <hyperstream> Sivik: where do i locate the driver in the windows folder?
[01:39] <AlabamaHit>  Was wondering if someone could tell me what is the best Torrent program to use......that has the feel of uTorrnet...Im using kTorrent but it works badly......
[01:39] <hyperstream> unop:  sorry mate trying to get the laptop back online
[01:39] <Sivik> AlabamaHit, best is in the eyes of the person, just look for one and try it
[01:39] <Stroganoff> AlabamaHit: Transmission
[01:39] <mc-george> bazhang: you still there?
[01:39] <harry000> no, ubuntu 7.10 automatically installs the drivers (restricted one)..
[01:40] <Dephenom> amenado, kinda hard when you leave it on all the time ;) but ill check the bios
[01:40] <harry000> i never had isssue with instalation or drivers.. its is just the sluggish performace..
[01:40] <tds5016> can someone tell me if a version of java ships with ubuntu 8.04
[01:40] <tds5016> and if so, whcih?
[01:40] <harry000> i think the card is not very well supported...
[01:40] <Sivik> harry000, thats because its a ati and ati and linux don't work well together
[01:40] <harry000> also.. i do get 3d acceleration too.... with relativerly okayish performace...
[01:40] <Stroganoff> harry000: if this isnt fast enough you have some problems: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=741631
[01:41] <twistage> How hard is it to upgrade to Hardy when it is released?
[01:42] <bazhang> mc-george: you still there? that card requires the firmware to be loaded in order for the card to be recognized before ndiswrapper can do its work; here is a link how to do that---> http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?p=2863896#post2863896
[01:42] <Stroganoff> twistage just use the upgrade manager. its easy. if you are using envy for graphics drivers, you have to uninstall them first
[01:42] <harry000> thanks guys...
[01:42] <AlabamaHit> With Wine do the programs run as good (same) as if they where in Windows?
[01:42] <mc-george> bazhang: thanks
[01:42] <twistage> AlabamaHit: Not really
[01:43] <kindofabuzz> what is ubuntu Terminal Emulator?  saw it as a choice in prefered apps
[01:43] <twistage> AlabamaHit: Its hit and miss, some work really well, while others dont
[01:43] <harry000> i will still stick with ubuntu... because... it is getting so good with every release...
[01:43] <Stroganoff> AlabamaHit many programs run as fast as on windows in most aspects. have you tried "Transmission" (bittorrent)
[01:43] <AlabamaHit> Stroganoff: nope fixing to try it now :)
[01:44] <aubrac> How do I  rebuild the xorg.conf that was generated during installation?
[01:44] <harry000> AlabamaHit: Wine is not an emulator. It provides the libraries that windows program needs to run.
[01:44] <Starnestommy> aubrac: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[01:45] <harry000> so, in most cases, the perormance will be as good as running windows....
[01:45] <harry000> AlabamaHit: see this: http://wiki.winehq.org/BenchMark-0.9.5
[01:45] <twistage> Is there usually a lot of trouble with things breaking upon new distro releases?
[01:46] <bazhang> twistage: you have a support question or just want to chat
[01:46] <twistage> bazhang: Im just curious
[01:46] <Stroganoff> twistage usually there's not much trouble
[01:46] <Jackx> hiya everyone
[01:46] <Fag00t> No, that's what I said.
[01:46] <Jackx> hey I have a question
[01:47] <Jackx> is there a 64 bit for intel processors regular server ubuntu version?
[01:47] <Jackx> 7.1
[01:47] <hyperstream> !ndis
[01:47] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:47] <AlabamaHit> sorry for all the questions just new to linux..just over a week now :)
[01:47] <aubrac> Starnestommy: Thank you. That worked once I unplugged my second monitor and rebooted. Otherwise it just asked questions about my keyboard and wrote an nearly empty file.
[01:48] <bazhang> Jackx: yes sure
[01:48] <Jackx> hmm
[01:48] <AlabamaHit> Also how can i mirror my linux? i have it set up great and dont want to lose this is this possibel? i tried Remaster but it failed redicoulsly...v7.10 im using
[01:48] <Fag00t> KJulian: Press Alt+F4
[01:48] <Twistage> Anyone ever have problems with Gnome not loading correctly upon boot? It seems like once every 10 boots Gnome freaks out and doesn't load my settings
[01:48] <Jackx> because whenever I download the intel + amd 64 bit version
[01:48] <Jackx> i get the file
[01:48] <Jackx> amd64
[01:48] <Jackx> and for some reason
[01:48] <FloodBot2> Jackx: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:48] <Jackx> whenever I try to load it
[01:48] <bazhang> x86_64 is the one you want Jackx
[01:49] <noble-> Twistage: yeah I have that problem now and then
[01:49] <Jackx> ok.
[01:49] <Jackx> could you maybe point me at a link please?
[01:49] <Jackx> i have been looking for it for a while now
[01:49] <bazhang> AlabamaHit: you want to clone it? to have it be ready to copy to another box; what is your goal in this could you clarify please
[01:50] <mc-george> bazhang, now the light on the card goes on, but I tried with just wireless and it doesn't work
[01:50] <tailsfan> how long does it usually take to compile a kernel?
[01:50] <Ki11ab33z> whats a good gui torrent downloader?
[01:50] <Ki11ab33z> for ubuntu
[01:50] <tailsfan> KTorrent
[01:50] <icesword> tailsfan, depends ?how fast is cpu
[01:50] <tailsfan> 1.6 Ghz
[01:50] <LjL> !good > Ki11ab33z    (Ki11ab33z, see the private message from Ubotu)
[01:50] <bazhang> mc-george: you need to load two modules in ndiswrapper per the instructions
[01:50] <tailsfan> Processor = CPU?
[01:50] <hyperstream> Ki11ab33z: azureus
[01:51] <tailsfan> azureus I think kinda loads slow
[01:51] <mc-george> bazhang, I did everything in the guide you linked me to
[01:51] <AlabamaHit> bazhang: I want to be able to if(when) I crash this install to be able to reinstall the same way it is now with the updates and programs...and look (theme layout) if possible.
[01:51] <hyperstream> tailsfan: depends on your system :) and whats 2-3 seoncds?
[01:51] <icesword> tailsfan, hmm,i would say it is not fast,may take an hour or so
[01:51] <nonewmsgs> kill
[01:51] <bazhang> AlabamaHit: best bet would be to have a seperate /home partition then
[01:51] <tailsfan> OK
[01:51] <nonewmsgs> mistell
[01:52] <tailsfan> because I have to make my own custom kernel for thsi tutorial I'm following
[01:52] <nonewmsgs> Ki11ab33z: i like ktorrent
[01:52] <Twistage> Anyone know a solution to broken hibernation/suspend modes. In Vista I could hibernate for long periods of time without my laptop dying and in Gutsy it'll last maybe an hour at most.
[01:52] <icesword> tailsfan, hmm,just do it....
[01:52] <tailsfan> I am now as I type
[01:52] <DevBug> hello
[01:53] <AlabamaHit> ned to reboot be right back
[01:53] <DevBug> im look for a professional graphical interface based on visual of windows xp
[01:53] <DevBug> any suggestions?
[01:53] <icesword> tailsfan, yeah,
[01:53] <g3nocide`> hyperstream: this is the error im getting from the wicd.log
[01:53] <g3nocide`> dbus.exceptions.DBusException: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.AccessDenied: Connection ":1.52" is not allowed to own the service "org.wicd.daemon" due to security policies in the configuration file
[01:53] <bazhang> DevBug: a linux distro? or what; please clarify
[01:53] <mohadib> DevBug "professional"?
[01:54] <tailsfan> but is this normal? for when I try to do "iwconfig wlan0 (Nintendo Wi-FI USB Connector/Ralink 2570 USB Device) mode monitor" I get a "Device or Resource Busy" message,?
[01:54] <DevBug> the best visual solution implements visual of windows xp in linux
[01:54] <bazhang> DevBug: linux xp
[01:54] <DevBug> independent of window manager (kde, gnome, xfce)
[01:54] <tailsfan> I would do the tutorial on Windows, but I don't have the right USB Device
[01:55] <DevBug> bazhang,  what official site?
[01:55] <hyperstream> g3nocide`: not sure sorry
[01:55] <bazhang> DevBug: please note that linux xp is not supported here; search for yourself please
[01:55] <wolfgang> ddd
[01:55] <tailsfan> linux xp kinda stinks
[01:55] <tailsfan> you're paying for something that should be fore
[01:55] <huggybeers> Are there any internal modems that will work with ubuntu
[01:55] <g3nocide`> hyperstream:  do you know where teh config file lives?
[01:55] <mc-george> bazhang, what should I do now?
[01:55] <bazhang> tailsfan: let him find out for himself ;]
[01:55] <DevBug> i believe this is wrong seen around here, but I would views on the best ways of implementing
[01:56] <AlabamaHit> k
[01:56] <bazhang> DevBug: that is not supported here so please take it elsewhere thanks
[01:56] <ari_stress> morning all
[01:56] <computermesh> does anyone know how to alphabetize a column in an open office spreadsheet?
[01:56] <DevBug> im interest em development the solution based on ubuntu 8.04 implements xp visual
[01:56] <AlabamaHit> bazhang: Now what was you saying would be best for me to do to be able to re-install the system the way it is?
[01:56] <hyperstream> unop:  ok: http://paste.stgraber.org/2538
[01:56] <bazhang> DevBug: gnome-look.org has what you want then
[01:57] <DevBug> ok bazhang
[01:57] <DevBug> thank
[01:57] <DevBug> s
[01:57] <DevBug> :)
[01:57] <tailsfan> I can't wait till Hardy's Release, I'll be ordering the day it's released :D
[01:57] <Dephenom> computermesh, same as you would in an Excel spreadsheet
[01:57] <FloodBot2> DevBug: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[01:57] <computermesh> Dephenom, I've never used an excel spreadsheet. Sorry.
[01:57] <bazhang> AlabamaHit: if you have a seperate home partition then if your system gets borked then just fresh reinstall and all your settings etc are saved
[01:58] <AlabamaHit> bazhang: is therer a link to that cause i really dont understand
[01:59] <Twistage> Does anyone know if there is a fix to incorporate redirected direct rendering for Intel graphics?
[01:59] <SeaPhor> AlabamaHit: do a google with "ubuntu seperate home partition" in the search
[01:59] <AlabamaHit> ok
[01:59] <Dephenom> computermesh, there should be a button on the toolbar with "a -> z" or "z -> a" highlight the data you want sorted and click one of them
[01:59] <computermesh> Dephenom, thank you. I will take a peek and see if I can find it.
[01:59]  * tailsfan wishes that certain are not so complicated and long
[01:59] <SeaPhor> AlabamaHit: or pm me and ill give you a link
[02:00] <tailsfan> certain things*
[02:00] <Orbixx> Still having trouble finding a solution for: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=757234
[02:00] <bazhang> AlabamaHit: sorry; when you first install, normally you just have the swap partition and then the / (or root) partitions; if you have also a /home partition then the stuff the OS uses (in / ) can be replaced without having to reformat your settings, saved data, files etc.
[02:00] <computermesh> Dephenom, thank's I found it. Appreciate your help.
[02:00] <Dephenom> computermesh, no probs
[02:01] <unop> hyperstream, all i can think of is the touchpad isnt a synaptic touchpad - what does lspci/lshw say about this device?
[02:01] <pharoh> hey,at 10.27 in http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-CgqWlX_GsI,what's that?and how can i do that?
[02:02] <AlabamaHit> bazhang:  i have a  home dir.
[02:02] <chuy_max> hi, is it possible to instruct grub to boot automatically to a specified kernel just once?, that's so I can make a script that reads something like: restart to windows, restart to kernel 2.6, etc.
[02:02] <hwy> shangwu hao
[02:03] <tailsfan> you mean something like OpenSUSE?
[02:03] <bazhang> AlabamaHit: as do we all; but it needs to be on a seperate partition to be safe from reformatting; bit of a difference there
[02:03] <bazhang> !cn | hwy
[02:03] <ubotu> hwy: For Ubuntu help in Chinese 您可以访问中文频道： #ubuntu-cn 或者 #ubuntu-tw  或者 #ubuntu-hk
[02:04] <inxane> chuy_max:  dunno if that is possible in grub, but if you are booting linux first, you could write a script that modifies your menu.lst file upon boot
[02:04] <hyperstream> unop:  let me upload
[02:04] <AlabamaHit> bazhang: you mean on a complete different hard drive?
[02:04] <sami> SSh
[02:04] <sami> kan jemand deutsch
[02:04] <inxane> Girl:  IRCing as root is stupid
[02:04] <SeaPhor> AlabamaHit: i just sent you a link
[02:04] <bazhang> AlabamaHit: not really; just a seperate partition of the hard drive
[02:05] <ion> I wanna a software the same as corel draw there is any ?
[02:05] <ethan961> it is assking to be hacked, running IRC as root, Girl
[02:05] <ferbyboy> im trying to bridge my ethernet port to my wireless card is there a way to do this simply?
[02:05] <chuy_max> inxane, sounds complicated
[02:05] <Orbixx> ferbyboy: Probably not, ha ha.
[02:05] <icesword> who is root
[02:05] <inxane> chuy_max:  why would you want to do that anyway?
[02:05] <ion> ?
[02:06] <inxane> icesword:  Girl was
[02:06] <witakr> alllllrighty!, got my DVDs playing... but I had to use VLC instead of the totem and xine... i like vlc better anyway
[02:06] <ferbyboy> im trying to connect my xbox360 to my pc, my pc uses the wireless card..i did this in vista and it worked great until some crap happened dont konw what went wrong
[02:06] <bazhang> ion: how does this relate to ubuntu support?
[02:06] <chuy_max> inxane, I want to have scripts that say: Restart to windows, restart to kernel 2.6.x, restart to 2.4.x, and so on
[02:06] <ion> bazhang: something that runs in ubuntu
[02:06] <ferbyboy> all i had to do was highlight both and click bridge conection... now i heard linux is better than windows so im wondering whats the catch with this..could this help or is windows a god in this catagory?
[02:06] <hyperstream> unop:  nothing at all to indicate a touchpad
[02:07] <NW2190> Hi I just made a presentation in open office and used custom fonts in it. Is there a way to somehow make the fonts work on a windows computer?
[02:07] <chuy_max> inxane, if you boot windows, for instance, that will not work just once, since windows will not modify menu.lst
[02:07] <bazhang> ion what does corel draw linux alternative return for you in a popular search engine of your choice?
[02:07] <tailsfan> ferbyboy, that is strange, because on Vista, I just use ICS on Vista fir my Xbox 360 Connection
[02:08] <ferbyboy> yeah
[02:08] <ferbyboy> me 2
[02:08] <ion> bazhang: what ?
[02:08] <ferbyboy> it worked fine until i restarted my computer
[02:08] <ferbyboy> and its vista messing up on the bridge

[02:08] <ferbyboy> i didnt touch nothing and everyhting was working fine until i booted it up and now its all messed up....the bridge is the problem
[02:08] <ion> bazhang: I have gimp but I don't know how to used it..
[02:09] <bazhang> ion just suggesting some search terms for you to use
[02:09] <tailsfan> the only prob I have is that for whenever I wanna watch videos and all, I have to set my connections to pirvate
[02:09] <chuy_max> inxane, I just googled, I want exactly this: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-347094.html
[02:09] <ion> bazhang: right.
[02:09] <chuy_max> inxane, you'll find the reason there
[02:09] <carl1410>  I've tried http://<IP_ADDRESS>:631/printers/ML-1710
[02:09] <carl1410> Still not working... Any clues?
[02:10] <SeaPhor> carl1410: 1-no port specified, 2 is it shared and network available?
[02:10] <Twistage> Does Gutsy allowed for connection bridging out of the box?
[02:10] <tailsfan> Twistage no
[02:10] <inxane> chuy_max:  did you read the first reply from kwilliam?
[02:11] <sier> http://pastebin.com/dca23fbb
[02:11] <chuy_max> inxane, yeah
[02:11] <inxane> chuy_max:  i think that might be your only solution
[02:11] <SeaPhor> carl1410: does your printer have its own ip address, or is it shared from your pc?
[02:11] <RenegadeY2K8> home do you open a .run?
[02:11] <inxane> chuy_max:  a batch file and a script
[02:11] <chuy_max> inxane, unfortunately, sounds dangerous
[02:11] <chuy_max> inxane, it would be a kick ass feature in grub
[02:12] <chuy_max> inxane, I've screwed ext partitions by reading writing constantly using ext2ifs driver
[02:12] <RenegadeY2K8> i need help
[02:13] <inxane> chuy_max: no clue then
[02:13] <ion> bazhang: cheers man I sorted
[02:13] <AutoMatriX> hi folks, can someone tell me how to login to my speedtouch modem with telnet, entering the username and password on the same command-line ?
[02:14] <bazhang> RenegadeY2K8: a question or description of your issue would be helpful
[02:14] <kindofabuzz> telnet <ip> <name> <pass>? did you try that?
[02:15] <kindofabuzz> AutoMatriX, you can probably just type the ip into a browser too
[02:15] <carl1410>  SeaPhor: Did not select Share Printers  Thanks, I got it.
[02:15] <AutoMatriX> kindofabuzz, I'll retry
[02:15] <AutoMatriX> kindofabuzz, that's just the start ... i want a dump of my incoming phonecalls to a textfile .... got may powerfailiures here
[02:15] <genii> AutoMatriX: telnet does not have a mechanism for automatic password insertion
[02:16] <SeaPhor> carl1410: :-))
[02:16] <AutoMatriX> genii, thanks, that keeps me from searching .... any idea how to solve that ?
[02:17] <inxane> AutoMatriX:  for VoIP calls?
[02:18] <inxane> AutoMatriX:  also, the modem would have to have some type of tcpdump for that to work
[02:18] <AutoMatriX> inxane, let's say that I want an automatic dump of my incoming voip calls in an asii file
[02:18] <spydez> Can anyone give me some help on the trackerd daemon? Specifically, why is it using 3.1 gigs of ram?
[02:19] <genii> AutoMatriX: No,the closest you can get without password insertion is just something like: telnet -l username -p port IP/Name         and then hope you get a prompt for pasword
[02:19] <AutoMatriX> inxane, it can be done by hand, but I always have to enter username and pwd,
[02:19] <inxane> AutoMatriX:  are you using ekiga or something?
[02:20] <genii> AutoMatriX: Although some browsers support syntax also of:      telnet://username:password@IP-or-Name:port
[02:20] <AutoMatriX> inxane, no that speedtouch (a 716 V5) has a built-in voip/wlan/router/modem

[02:30] <ryanakca> Is there a command line utility that can append 5 seconds of silence to a sound file?
[02:30] <Auctionedllama> Hi
[02:30] <Auctionedllama> Anyone here?

[02:31] <Vicfred> xd
[02:31] <edju> website has quicktime media.  i think vlc will play mov files, , but the media look for plugins.  which file can i edit to have vlc play these plugins?
[02:31] <Auctionedllama> Ya, so anyways, I was in here earlier and ma trying to get my ATI card to work, and I ran a ton of installations and debugs and everything.. and I can't get it to play 3d games or use compiz, and the command says I'm still connected to mesa.. any help would be fantastic
[02:31] <Randocal> If I have made changes to my /etc/exports file, is there a way for me to make those changes active without having to restart the NFS service?
[02:32] <LjL> ryanakca, should be doable with sox
[02:32] <AlabamaHit> anyone good with torrent software?
[02:32] <Auctionedllama> me
[02:32] <LjL> ryanakca: "man sox", search for "concatenate" and "silence"
[02:32] <Auctionedllama> SO.
[02:32] <Auctionedllama> can anyone help me?
[02:32] <IndyGunFreak> what is there to be good with?
[02:32] <LjL> !anyone
[02:32] <ubotu> 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?
[02:32] <linuxpoet> anybody at MySQLCon?
[02:32] <IndyGunFreak> you either open a port, or don't open a port.
[02:32] <Pelo> Auctionedllama, restate your issue I just came in
[02:33] <Auctionedllama> Ya, so anyways, I was in here earlier and ma trying to get my ATI card to work, and I ran a ton of installations and debugs and everything.. and I can't get it to play 3d games or use compiz, and the command says I'm still connected to mesa.. any help would be fantastic
[02:33] <Pelo> Auctionedllama,  I assume there is no restricted driver for your card ?
[02:33] <Auctionedllama> I followed the main tut, which didn't work, which lead a secondary, and a third, and then back to the second one and after 2 hours everything, I got no where
[02:33] <Auctionedllama> No.. ther eis
[02:33] <Pelo> Auctionedllama, ???
[02:33] <Auctionedllama> Also.. in the midst of everything I can't access my restricted driver thing now
[02:34] <Auctionedllama> it says I'm missing a module
[02:34] <Pelo> Auctionedllama, lovely,  how old is this installation of ubuntu ?
[02:34] <Auctionedllama> 7.10 studio
[02:34] <Auctionedllama> 7.10 Ubuntu studio
[02:34] <Pelo> Auctionedllama, how long ago did you install it ?
[02:34] <Auctionedllama> mmh
[02:34] <Auctionedllama> 2 days ago
[02:35] <ari-linux> hi
[02:35] <Pelo> Auctionedllama, clean install it , it will take you 30 min and then you can start with a clean slate to install the resteicted drvier and get the proper 3d support
[02:35] <Auctionedllama> mmh
[02:35] <Auctionedllama> format the whole thing?
[02:36] <b1n0ry> not sure if this is an ubuntu or a gnome question, but how do i make my fonts not look like crap?
[02:36] <Auctionedllama> Oh man, it took forever to get the screen even working, but ok
[02:36] <Pelo> Auctionedllama, put your /home folder on a seperate partiton,  that way you won'T need to format the whole thing,  well actualy the first time around you'll need to but from now on you won'T need to
[02:36] <Auctionedllama> Ok, can you give me the link to the tut to start out with
[02:36] <Auctionedllama> so just format my partition?
[02:36] <LjL> b1n0ry: that's not really a valid question to begin with... "look like crap" is pretty subjective, and i have no idea what you'd mean.
[02:36] <Auctionedllama> and save the home folder?
[02:36] <sparr_> why would my shell be interpreting (which is to say, sending to perl) the single quote (') character as \xE2 instead of \x27 ?
[02:37] <Pelo> Auctionedllama, does the live cd work for you ?
[02:37] <Auctionedllama> yes
[02:37] <Auctionedllama> or
[02:37] <b1n0ry> they seem to be a bit fuzzy, maybe "bulky" is a better word, and many websites look like i'm trying to read them through one of those stupid magnifier lens things... almost like the DLP "rainbow effect"
[02:37] <Auctionedllama> not sure if its live
[02:37] <Acoustyk> what is a good iso mounter for ubuntu
[02:37] <Acoustyk> ?
[02:37] <Auctionedllama> all I kn w is, it installed so
[02:37] <LjL> !enter | Auctionedllama
[02:37] <ubotu> Auctionedllama: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[02:37] <LjL> !mountiso | Acoustyk
[02:37] <ubotu> Acoustyk: To mount an ISO disc image, type « sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint> » or use the "gmountiso" package - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[02:37] <LjL> Auctionedllama, please DO stop using enter as punctuation
[02:37] <Auctionedllama> soz my bad
[02:38] <Auctionedllama> Ok, ok, so your saying to save my home folder, and to format my whole linux partitiona dn restart all over correct?
[02:38] <b1n0ry> i'm used to the 'crisp' fonts from windoze, i guess. these all look a bit cartoony or something... i dunno, hard to describe
[02:39] <Pelo> Auctionedllama, boot the live cd,  goto the system admin menu , gnome partiton editor,  resize your current ubuntu partion down to about 10 gig , make a new ext3 parttition in the unallocated space and that will be your /home ,  mount your old ubunt partion, and your new /home partion , copy the whole /home folder to it ,  then start the installer,  and when asked select manual pattitioning,  you can tell it where everyting goes
[02:39] <LjL> b1n0ry, it might help if you select "full" hinting rather than "medium" hinting, although i'm not sure where that's set up in GNOME, as i use KDE. or it's possible that you have an LCD but are using CRT antialiasing, or vice versa
[02:39] <gaspipe1> hey people
[02:39] <Pelo> Auctionedllama, you'll be keeping your /swap partiton , you'll need taht
[02:39] <mohadib> do you have a bunch of files in /home you want to save?
[02:39] <ryanakca> LjL: back, sorry, thanks ;D
[02:40] <Auctionedllama> ok, my linux partition is already 9 gigs
[02:40] <Auctionedllama> I can't make it any smaller
[02:40] <Auctionedllama> Also, there is nothing worth keeping in home
[02:40] <Acoustyk> ok is there an easier noob iso mounter?
[02:40] <Auctionedllama> I'll just format my whole partition, and get rid of it
[02:40] <mohadib> Auctionedllama then just format
[02:40] <mohadib> and start over
[02:40] <Acoustyk> i just tried the -o loop terminal thing and it didnt work
[02:40] <Pelo> LjL, rigth click desktopl  , chagne wall paper , font tab , for the hinting bit
[02:40] <Auctionedllama> ok, gonna format everything I guess..
[02:41] <decay> !lamp
[02:41] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[02:41] <Pelo> Acoustyk, got an error msg ?
[02:41] <LjL> Pelo: *change wallpaper*? you aren't joking?
[02:41] <b1n0ry> LjL there's settings for 'monochrome' 'best contrast' 'best shapes' and 'subpixel smoothing (lcd)' - subpixel smoothing looks the 'best' - i guess...
[02:41] <Pelo> LjL, it starts the whole appearance dialog of gnome
[02:41] <Auctionedllama> Can someone give me a link to the driver installation tut?
[02:41] <kevarm> I'm new to linux and I just need help in setting up the newest version of Java...I'm having a bit of a problem
[02:41] <Acoustyk> it just lists the usage of the command
[02:41] <Auctionedllama> Hey, can someone give me a link to the ATI driver isntallation?
[02:41] <Acoustyk> like if I asked for help
[02:41] <Auctionedllama> so when I'm done formatting I don't have to search
[02:41] <LjL> b1n0ry: if you're on an LCD, i guess. i'm not sure what the others actually mean, it's probably full/medium/slight hinting in more confusing words...
[02:41] <solexious> [Q] How can i list files over a certan size in a folder?
[02:41] <Pelo> LjL,  sys > prefs > appearance gets you to the same dialog
[02:41] <AlabamaHit> Dont Envy do it?
[02:42] <Auctionedllama> Alabama are you asking me thhat?
[02:42] <dmsuperman> There is a big lack of support for hotkeys and text replacement with really customizable solutions in linux, and I know PHP, so I'm going to program one. I haven't, however, worked with Linux very long to know much about programming for it. Is there a guide on how to do it? I don't have a problem with the PHP, it's things like where would I store the php script, how can i make it so it executes everytime, where would I store con
[02:42] <dmsuperman> figuration files, etc.
[02:42] <AlabamaHit> Kinda
[02:42] <Pelo> Auctionedllama, dont, start with the binary ,  just start with the restricted driver in the system admin menu
[02:42] <Auctionedllama> Well I thought it did, but its not working
[02:42] <AlabamaHit> I thought that Envy Installed the lastest driver for you.
[02:42] <Pelo> Auctionedllama, then come back here
[02:42] <NW2190> Hi, I'm thinking of learning some type of C to work more on linux apps.   I am very confused ATM D;
[02:42] <Pelo> Acoustyk, google cdemu
[02:43] <LjL> b1n0ry, that makes no sense, freetype is used by both gnome and kde.
[02:43] <b1n0ry> kde, on the other hand, uses qt for rendering which i've been told is 'slightly' better
[02:43] <NetEcho_> I just installed Ubuntu on a laptop
[02:43] <Acoustyk> thanks i bunch
[02:43] <NetEcho_> the laptop has 2 wifi cards.. the internal one and the PCMCIA one
[02:43] <Pelo> Auctionedllama, start by clean installing ubuntu,  then come back here,  and we'll walk you through the rest , do not install anything extra until you'Ve come back
[02:43] <Auctionedllama> ok
[02:43] <Auctionedllama> bbl
[02:43] <NetEcho_> the PCMCIA one is a SMC card that I have gotten working with an atheros driver before but ubuntu keeps defaulting to the internal wifi card and its causing issues
[02:43] <Auctionedllama> dont leave pelo
[02:44] <AlabamaHit> Pelo: can I pm you?
[02:44] <NetEcho_> how do I fix this?
[02:44] <b1n0ry> weird thing is, like firefox on linux vs. windows - windows sites are readable, linux i have to sit there and tweak it to get it to actually look right. same browser, same website, different os...
[02:44] <Pelo> Auctionedllama, you have an hour
[02:44] <Auctionedllama> ok
[02:44] <gaspipe1> anyone know how to turn off the "logging" in when you start ubuntu?
[02:44] <Pelo> NetEcho_, black list your internal card module in modprobe
[02:44] <NetEcho_> and how do I do that?
[02:44] <b1n0ry> i get half a headache reading websites right now. i'll check in ##gnome
[02:44] <dmsuperman> b1n0ry, I know what you're saying, a lot of the fonts (even after installing the msttfcorefonts package) still look screwed, and I even set the font to the same default that it is in windows
[02:44] <NetEcho_> I don't even know the internal card its not even my laptop
[02:44] <LjL> b1n0ry: different fonts, too. you can get the Microsoft fonts on Ubuntu if you want - although they'll still not look exactly the same as on Windows (and can look pretty bad if you have the wrong hinting style selected)
[02:44] <LjL> !fonts > b1n0ry    (b1n0ry, see the private message from Ubotu)
[02:45] <Pelo> gaspipe1, menu > system > adim < login screen,  3rd tab I think

[02:45] <LjL> dmsuperman, try full hinting.
[02:45] <NetEcho_> Pelo,  how do I do this?

[02:45] <dmsuperman> LjL, full hinting?
[02:45] <LjL> dmsuperman: see discussion above...
[02:46] <Pelo> NetEcho_,   open a terminal ,  type lsmod  locate the module for your internal wifi in there,  make a note of it ,  then type  sudo modprobe -r  modulename  that will remove it from the list
[02:46] <b1n0ry> ty LjL
[02:46] <NetEcho_> will it remove it permanently?
[02:46] <gaspipe1> Pelo: "disable multible logins for a single user"?
[02:46] <Pelo> NetEcho_,  it should,  if not   man modprobe , see what options exist to permenantly do it
[02:47] <Pelo> gaspipe1, yes,  , you'll need to select which users logs inautomaticaly form the drop down list
[02:47] <edaniel> My mouse cursor just started intermittently jumping towards the top of the screen.  It happens usually when something is loading or starting, and when I click links in FF.

[02:47] <linkinxp> hello
[02:48] <pitr256> NetEcho, the module is loaded on boot up from the file /etc/modules

[02:48] <NetEcho_> Pelo, I think both wireless cards use the atheros drivers
[02:48] <NetEcho_> cause I only see atheros in there but the external card is not active

[02:48] <Pelo> NetEcho_, isnT' there a listing that looks like the model number for your card in there ?
[02:49] <Pelo> NetEcho_, or ... can you disable your internal card from the bios ?
[02:49] <NetEcho_> Pelo,  nada the closest to wifi drivers I see in there is ath_pci and ath_hal
[02:49] <NetEcho_> pelo I can try but its a very limited bios
[02:49] <NetEcho_> gimme a min
[02:49] <b1n0ry> LjL thanks, i found this too http://howtoforge.com/sharp_fonts_gnome
[02:49] <gaspipe1> Pelo: not sure if it worked but I guess I will see next time I boot up
[02:50] <Pelo> gaspipe1, you did notice my second advice right ?  abut the 5th tab ?
[02:50] <dmsuperman> LjL, I've seen that, and I'm thinking that I would install my script to /opt/MYSCRIPT/script.php then config in ~/.MYSCRIPT.conf or some such thing, but I was just wondering if there was some guide for common practices _like_ that
[02:50] <gaspipe1> ahh no
[02:50] <pitr256> NetEcho, if it's a laptop, you should be able to turn off the internal card using a function key or a button. What kind of laptop is it?
[02:50] <gaspipe1> Pelo: no srry
[02:50] <Pelo> gaspipe1, scratch that ,  5th tab,   secutiry,    activate automatic login
[02:50] <gaspipe1> Pelo: ok TY!
[02:50] <Pelo> gaspipe1, and put back the other one
[02:50] <kevarm> Pelo, Well...I downloaded the java file from their website...and when I go to open it I get the msg: Could not open the file /home/kevarm/Desktop/jre-6u5-linux-i586.bin. gedit has not been able to detect the character coding. Please check that you are not trying to open a binary file. Select a character coding from the menu and try again.
[02:51] <Pelo> kevarm, what exactly is this  file ?
[02:51] <gaspipe1> Pelo: will do thanks!!
[02:51] <pitr256> NetEcho,  if it's a laptop, you should be able to turn off the internal card using a function key or a button. What kind of laptop is it?
[02:51] <NetEcho_> Pelo,  nah the bios doesn't let me dissable any hardware, only allows to put a password on and change boot order
[02:51] <NetEcho_> pitr256, Acer Aspire 3680
[02:51] <Pelo> NetEcho_, in the chipset section usualy
[02:51] <NetEcho_> very limited pos
[02:51] <IdleOne> kevarm: what is wrong with the java in the repos?
[02:52] <LjL> dmsuperman: not sure. anyway i don't get the lack of hotkeys thing
[02:52] <kevarm> Pelo, It's the java file i downloaded from java.com. http://java.com/en/download/linux_manual.jsp?locale=en&host=java.com It's the one labeled: Linux (self-extracting file)
[02:52] <NetEcho_> Pelo,  there is Information, Main Security Boot and Exit its nothing like a standard bios either
[02:52] <pstangcjd> kevarm: its a binary you need to execute it not open it with an editor
[02:52] <Pelo> NetEcho_,  no bios is that limited,  dig deeper
[02:52] <Pelo> kevarm, why are you not installing java from the repos ?
[02:52] <NetEcho_> Pelo, trust me this one is. I've never once on any system in the hundreds of machines I've worked with found a bios this limited
[02:52] <Pelo> NetEcho_, main,  look for a section abot chipset
[02:52] <kevarm> I just installed Linux and am not familiar with it...what is the repos?
[02:53] <dmsuperman> LjL, I used an app called AutoHotKeys on windows. It had it's own scripting language, and allowed you to do pretty much any sort of keycombination, action, or window manipulation by defining either hotstrings (by typing X, it backspaces and types Y) or hotkeys (key combos)
[02:53] <IdleOne> !repos | kevarm

[02:53] <IdleOne> !java > kevarm look for a tab from ubotu  and follow the instructions
[02:53] <pitr256> NetEcho_, you want to diable the internal wireless card?
[02:53] <DrX> how do you auto mount a remote Windows share when Ubuntu starts up?
[02:53] <NetEcho_> forums will probably take too long. as I've said its not myh laptop
[02:54] <kevarm> IdleOne, Thanks, I'll check it out.
[02:54] <dmsuperman> LjL, I've researched it, and everybody is in agreement that the support (or lack thereof ) in linux for apps like these is virtually nonexistant. I found a single app that had very limited text replacement capabilities, but that's the extent of it. I'm a programmer, so my general solution to something like this is to write my own :D
[02:54] <NetEcho_> pitr256, yea cause it has issues connecting to the building wifi for tenants yet my card works fine
[02:54] <linkinxp> whats the name for wireless in devices????
[02:54] <IdleOne> NetEcho: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=669267
[02:54] <Pelo> kevarm, open menu >system > admin > software sources,     check all th boxes in the 1st and 3rd tab,  reload and then  open synaptic , in the admin menu, search for java
[02:54] <IdleOne> NetEcho: that is a different model but might help you
[02:54]  * Pelo is typing too slow tonight, even IdleOne  can give advice faster then he can
[02:55] <IdleOne> lol hey! that sounds like a insult almost sorta kinda
[02:55] <NetEcho_> IdleOne,  I hope it works
[02:55] <NetEcho_> probably uses the same driver
[02:55] <linkinxp> how i list my hardware???
[02:55] <IdleOne> NetEcho: read it over couple times before you start entering commands
[02:55] <Pelo> linkinxp, system > prefs> hardware info
[02:55] <linkinxp> Pelo:  trough console i need to know the name of the device i forgot wireless device
[02:55] <NetEcho_> IdleOne,  it looks like it wants me to completely re-install the drivers
[02:56] <Pelo> linkinxp,  try lspci
[02:56] <LjL> dmsuperman: uhm, i don't quite see how you could do that with PHP to be honest. how would you send keystroke or mouse movements from PHP...? i'd look at things like "xmacro". besides, "Linux" doesn't mean anything... i'm on KDE, and KDE offers configurable hotkeys or mouse gestures for many things, including "input actions" which can instruct KDE programs to do basically anything (keyboard input, etc).
[02:56] <LjL> not sure about GNOME.
[02:56] <NetEcho_> its odd I can connect to a wireless B network but the usual Wireless G network that works a lot better I can't with her internal card
[02:56] <gaspipe1> where should I go to learn how to use/install WINE for ubuntu?
[02:56] <IdleOne> NetEcho: it wants you to remove what you got and use what driver they used. make sure that you have the same chipset /model card as they do
[02:57] <IdleOne> !wine | gaspipe1
[02:57] <ubotu> gaspipe1: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[02:57] <linkinxp> Pelo:  nop i need the name its Wlan0?
[02:57] <sjovan> gaspipe1: www.winehq.com
[02:57] <NetEcho_> thats not the card we want to use tho
[02:57] <NetEcho_> thats the card we want to disable
[02:57] <IdleOne> gaspipe1: #winehq and search for wine in Synaptic package manager
[02:57] <dmsuperman> LjL, sure they all have their own little hotkey support, but it's very limited. what I liked about autohotkey is that pretty much anything you wanted to set as a trigger, or for the action of that trigger, was possible. and I do mean linux, I'd rather not make it dependent on the window manager
[02:57] <NetEcho_> I have a PCMCIA SMC Wifi card
[02:57] <gaspipe1> IdleOne: TY!
[02:57] <Pelo> linkinxp, not sure then
[02:57] <dmsuperman> LjL, also, I can do it with PHP and C or C++
[02:57] <Orbixx_> I accidentally set a password for my root account (used to servers), before discovering the ways of sudo on Ubuntu.
[02:57] <IdleOne> NetEcho: I dont know about that sorry
[02:58] <Orbixx_> How do I have it back to how it was?
[02:58] <gaspipe1> sjovan: TY
[02:58] <dmsuperman> LjL, I'm much more familiar with PHP, so I'd write essentially the whole thing in that, with the exception of the keystroke manager in C or C++ (which i'm far less familiar with)
[02:58] <edaniel> My mouse cursor keeps jumping up towards the top of the screen.  I don't have a touchpad, it's a thinkpad with the little joystick in the keyboard.  It worked fine a week ago, and I have had Ubuntu on this machine for almost a year. Any ideas on how I can run this down?
[02:58]  * Pelo says : "fine , let IdleOne handle the channel tonight ... "
[02:58] <NetEcho_> does Ubuntu have a non-command line hardware manager section sorta like windows?

[02:59] <instabin> I have a canon mx700 printer/scanner/fax hooked up on my network but i cannot get ubuntu to connect to it.
[02:59] <edaniel> No, Pelo, it worked with a clean install, no problems.
[02:59] <LjL> dmsuperman, if you mean "Linux" in general, then exclude any mouse input emulation for a start, because that's clearly impossible, given how any different GUI will use mouse input differently. as for the rest... i think you'll have a hard time writing a keystroke catcher that works universally, with or without X.
[02:59] <SeaPhor> so no one can help me with my wireless issue, or my printer issue,,, how about this, can anyone tell me how to set up my Ubuntu 7.10 machine to be a FTP server as well, just for me and a few friends?
[02:59] <LjL> dmsuperman: closest might be the "lkl" package
[03:00] <psirly> on my laptop the screen is all covered properly with the background but the not the taskbar, it's sized as if i had no widescreen
[03:00] <Pelo> edaniel, hmm,   when you say jump to the top,  can you be a little more detailed ?
[03:00] <psirly> i figured i might tell you guys that
[03:00] <gaspipe1> sjovan: ty that worked :)
[03:00] <IdleOne> !ftp | SeaPhor
[03:00] <ubotu> SeaPhor: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd
[03:00] <dmsuperman> LjL, I wasn't planning on adding mouse support, it isn't in autohotkey and that's what i'm pretty much basing this on
[03:00] <SeaPhor> thats clients,,,???
[03:00] <Pelo> psirly, try restarting x it might reset it ,  crtl alt backspace
[03:01] <LjL> dmsuperman: i'm still unsure how you'd do the keylogging
[03:01] <IdleOne> SeaPhor: read the entire line please
[03:01] <sjovan> gaspipe1: oh shit... nvm. that's a really old version! i'll finde you a tut on how to get the new version. just rememberd it. btw ---> sudo apt-get autoremove wine --purge <--- will remove it
[03:01] <psirly> it does that from start up
[03:01] <dmsuperman> LjL, the other app I was talking about that had the limited support did basically the same thing, only with python, so I'll see if I can use that source from him
[03:01] <psirly> even live cd too i believe
[03:01] <IdleOne> SeaPhor: !FTPd the d is for deamon ( server )
[03:01] <psirly> i think it's a known issue
[03:01] <psirly> i just oculdn't find it in the bug database
[03:02] <Pelo> psirly, oh, hold on,  type gconf-editor, goto  /apps/panel,  look under general I think I beleive I've seen a windescreen option there
[03:02] <Pelo> psirly, no garanties
[03:02] <dmsuperman> LjL, but his used a seperate C or C++ file that caught all the keys, and I tried it out it works perfectly
[03:02] <SeaPhor> IdleOne: i have tried that and cant make it work, i am still a n00b BTW
[03:02] <gaspipe1> sjovan: dam u'r good the people in #winehq just said that
[03:02] <edaniel> Sure, it will skip up, I would guess about 50 pixels at a time intermittently, usually during a page load, or file transfer.  It moves left by 4-5 pixels as well.  It will repeat this until it gets to the top of the screen, and eventually the top left corner.  The more stuff happening, the faster it goes.  Like loading the Google home page makes it hit the top really fast.  Copying a file will make it jump once, but only sometimes.
[03:02] <sjovan> gaspipe1: here is the instructions... http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
[03:02] <Orbixx_> I accidentally set a password for my root account (used to servers), before discovering the ways of sudo on Ubuntu.
[03:02] <Orbixx_> How do I have it back to how it was?
[03:03] <Ntemis> hello
[03:03] <LjL> dmsuperman: that's interesting, the only keylogger that's in the repositories (lkl) i haven't even been able to use.
[03:03] <Ntemis> please help me out
[03:03] <NetEcho_> yea its most definatly running the AR2413 802.11bg NIC when I have a SMC 802.11 EzConnect G SMCWCB-G card
[03:03] <NetEcho_> both of them run on the Atheros Driver
[03:03] <Pelo> edaniel, you don'T mean it move in a choppy fashion,  it jsut moves on it's own without you touching it ?
[03:03] <gaspipe1> sjovan: ty again
[03:03] <Pelo> Ntemis, we can'T we don'T knwo the problem you are having
[03:03] <dmsuperman> LjL, the source wasn't in the repository, it was pretty much just a snippet that somebody else wrote for him
[03:03] <sjovan> gaspipe1: np :)
[03:03] <edaniel> Pelo: correct, it moves on it's own
[03:04] <Ntemis> i have removed the nvidia drivers and restarted the pc using the onboard gfx card via unichrome pro
[03:04] <Ntemis> no go
[03:04] <Pelo> edaniel, before it started misbehaving , did you do an update or someting ?
[03:04] <Orbixx_> Pelo: I've still had no joy with my problem. Got a thread here now, I'm hoping someone knows. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=757234
[03:04] <Ntemis> system is on command line
[03:04] <Ntemis> no desktop
[03:04] <IdleOne> SeaPhor: try this http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/ubuntu-vsftpd-ftp-service-server/ btw google is your best friend :)
[03:04] <psirly> so ijust came to bitch about the widescreen not detecting properly on my intel965 and how my rt2570 isn't supported by default through usb
[03:05] <Ntemis> i tried edit the etc/x11/xorg.cong but complains no x gedit btw
[03:05] <cpotts454> Anybody had any experience with gnucash online banking?
[03:05] <dmsuperman> LjL, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=675751
[03:05] <IdleOne> psirly: bitching is done in #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:05] <dmsuperman> LjL, that's his
[03:05] <sjovan> gaspipe1: after you have followed the instructions, then you can do ---> sudo apt-get install wine <--- :) remember to do sudo apt-get autoremove wine --purge <--- first (just to be shure)
[03:05] <psirly> lol
[03:05] <Pelo> Ntemis, put the nvidia card back in ,  then from the command line , type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ,  select the vesa driver when askied, and leave the rest on default unless you absolutely know better,  then come back here
[03:05] <edaniel> Pelo: I usually update whenever the icon shows up.  This may have happened after the last one, but I don't remember what that was.  I did install a program from the repos, but I have removed that trying to fix this.
[03:05] <psirly> later guys
[03:05] <SeaPhor> IdleOne: yeah i know, right next to the ubuntu forums :-))
[03:05] <dmsuperman> Either that or I'll have to learn Python...it shouldn't be too hard once you know one scripting language
[03:05] <Ntemis> i dont have the nvidia card. it was sold
[03:05] <dmsuperman> LjL, and just extend his
[03:05] <IdleOne> SeaPhor: yup and of course #ubuntu :)
[03:05] <Pelo> edaniel, hmm,  I have no idea,  I thought I might but I don'T , try searching in the forum there might be an answer in there www.ubuntuforums.org
[03:06] <Ntemis> pelo what is next
[03:06] <Pelo> Ntemis, , same procedure  but just let it scan for a driver automaticaly first
[03:06] <edaniel> Pelo: yeah, i looked there, not a lot of info, maybe I'll post.  Can you tell me how I check what the last update was?
[03:06] <Nemesis> What's the easiest and lightest software I can use to set up a one-page, internal web server on my router?
[03:06] <branstrom> How can I get libssl0.9.7 on Ubuntu gutsy? The packages on http://deb.wapper.ru/nginx/ depend on it.
[03:06] <genii> thttpd
[03:07] <Pelo> edaniel, ....    /var/log/dpkg.log might five you some info
[03:07] <Cpudan80> How can I install the java runtime environment?
[03:07] <Orbixx_> Cpudan80: www.sun.com
[03:07] <Cpudan80> The package offered up by ubuntu is the wrong version
[03:07] <genii> Nemesis: thttpd
[03:07] <branstrom> Nemesis: nginx is really good
[03:07] <Pelo> Orbixx_,  no
[03:07] <decay> where is mysql installed?
[03:07] <Ntemis> so when my system is at the bash because it cannot boot i write sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[03:07] <edaniel> Pelo: thank you very much for your help!
[03:07] <Pelo> Cpudan80,  enable the estra repos and install it from synaptic
[03:07] <Nemesis> Thanks guys
[03:07] <Flannel> Nemesis: If its literally one page, you can get by without a proper webserver, just with a simple script.  But that's certainly not easiest.
[03:07] <hylinux> decay: the database is /var/lib/mysql
[03:07] <hylinux> some command is /usr/
[03:07] <Cpudan80> Pelo: Estra?
[03:07] <hylinux> /usr/bin
[03:08] <Pelo> Cpudan80,  menu > system > admin > software sources ,  check all the boxes on the 1st and 3rd tab , then reload
[03:08] <SeaPhor> IdleOne: OK i've installed a bunch of other stuff trying to get a ftp server working,,, this one looks promising,,, how do i get rid of the others?
[03:08] <hylinux> start the mysql: use /etc/init.d/mysql start
[03:08] <IdleOne> branstrom: install libssl-dev  or libssl0.9.8
[03:08] <Ntemis>  so when my system is at the bash because it cannot boot i write sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[03:08] <Nemesis> Flannel: Really? You think it would just be easiest to do a server, because it literally is one page, hah.
[03:08] <LjL> dmsuperman: hah, uses (or at least used at the time of the first posting) xmacro...
[03:08] <Cpudan80> Pelo: Right - but what is the package?
[03:08] <Ntemis> and this will solve my problems?
[03:08] <Pelo> Cpudan80, then open menu > system > admin > synaptic pacakge manager,   search for java,  find sun-java6-jre , -bin , -plugin
[03:08] <branstrom> IdleOne: the packages seem to demand exactly 0.9.7 though
[03:09] <IdleOne> SeaPhor: depending how you install the other apps. but leave them for now as they probably have similar dependencies and you can remove the other apps later
[03:09] <Cpudan80> Pelo: I have all those
[03:09] <Cpudan80> Pelo: they are pitifully old
[03:09] <Flannel> Nemesis: I think it'd be easiest to just use a server, yes, since it'd be "install a package, put page in", but if I were to write one, I'd just have something that serves that text on port 80 regardless of what is asked for (well, that page + headers and such).  It'll get the job done ;)  But yeah, go with a real server.
[03:09] <gaspipe1> anyone have any luck with haveing thier ubuntu look like leopard? or is this not the type of Q you ask in here?
[03:09] <IdleOne> branstrom: then have them update the packages
[03:09] <dmsuperman> I don't think it does anymore
[03:09] <Ntemis> have to go
[03:09] <Pelo> Cpudan80, 6 is the most recent
[03:09] <Ntemis> thanks for the help though
[03:09] <cpotts454> Anybody had any experience with gnucash online banking? I have it installed, and working, now I am starting to get an error message.
[03:09] <dmsuperman> LjL, although I could be totally wrong :P
[03:10] <Cpudan80> Pelo: somehow I've gotten an old version in there
[03:10] <Pelo> cpotts454, you'd probably have to look for a gnucash channel
[03:10] <Cpudan80> maybe I should uninstall it all?
[03:10] <Pelo> Cpudan80, what version of ubuntu do you have ?
[03:10] <branstrom> IdleOne: :/ mhm
[03:10] <Cpudan80> Pelo: gutsy
[03:10] <Pelo> Cpudan80, what do you mean by old ?
[03:10] <Cpudan80> Pelo: The jdk versions and jre versions dont match
[03:10] <IdleOne> branstrom: try the -dev package it should work
[03:10] <Cpudan80> one is 1.4 the other is 1.54
[03:10] <kristofernathan> finally got everything running smoothly.  anyone have problems with the screen flickering in and out?  i'm using a laptop with geforce go 7000 series
[03:10] <Cpudan80> 1.5*
[03:10] <Pelo> Cpudan80, I told you how to eanble the extra repos to get java 6
[03:11]  * Pelo sighs deeply
[03:11] <Cpudan80> Pelo: I have those enabled!
[03:11] <AlabamaHit> Torrents are going to drive me INsane
[03:11] <Pelo> Cpudan80,  then you should be able to get java 1.6 ffrom the backport repos
[03:11] <Pelo> AlabamaHit, what's wrong ?
[03:11] <IdleOne> Cpudan80: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre
[03:11] <Cpudan80> Pelo: It says I have it
[03:11] <AlabamaHit> cant find a program that will let em be conncatible or let more than one action take place at a time
[03:11] <Pelo> Cpudan80,  then you have the most recent
[03:11] <AlabamaHit> one of the torrents Stalled.
[03:11] <Cpudan80> Pelo: well clearly something is wrong
[03:11] <Cpudan80> Pelo: the versions should match
[03:11] <Pelo> AlabamaHit, deluge torent
[03:12] <AlabamaHit> Pelo: is that a program?
[03:12] <genii> Cpudan80: What does: java -version         report
[03:12] <Pelo> Cpudan80, not you might be looking at package versions,  those donT' hve to match,  their just fixes and such
[03:12] <b1n0ry> LjL: following the instructions on that site and with the package you recommended, my desktop looks PHENOMENALLY better! thanks!
[03:12] <LjL> well dmsuperman, as far as files placement goes, if your intention is to make it packageable, then the main executable should be in /usr/bin, any ancillary scripts the user is not supposed to ever call directly would probably be in /usr/lib, and likely you'd want the configuration file as ~/blah.conf. i don't think there's much else to it really
[03:12] <Pelo> AlabamaHit, a torent program
[03:12] <branstrom> IdleOne: The following packages have unmet dependencies: nginx: Depends: libssl0.9.7 which is a virtual package.
[03:12] <branstrom> (and I do have libssl-dev)
[03:12] <darksidedelayue> Hello I have a sony vaoi fz160e and I wish to make my webcam work with ekiga
[03:13] <edaniel> AlabamaHit: You can install Deluge from the Applications menu
[03:13] <Cpudan80> Pelo: Let me remove all my java stuff and go from square 1
[03:13] <dmsuperman> LjL, cool, thanks :D
[03:13] <fedito> Cpudan80: hello, try sudo update-alternatives --config java
[03:13] <LjL> b1n0ry: as i said at the beginning... matter of tastes :) i really dislike that thin Tahoma
[03:13] <Cpudan80> Somehow I have the 5.0 versions too
[03:13] <fedito> this should show the available versions and let you pick one
[03:13] <Cpudan80> I figure if I clear it all out... that'll work better
[03:13] <Nemesis> Uhh, this is kind of a stupid question, but i just installed thttpd under terminal and I have no idea where the hell it went?
[03:13] <IdleOne> branstrom: what version of ubuntu?
[03:14] <LjL> Nemesis: dpkg -L thttpd
[03:14] <b1n0ry> exactly, Nemesis
[03:14] <b1n0ry> that's where it went
[03:14] <kevarm> Pelo, ok...so after I search for java in the synaptic package manager I can install any of the packages it lists? It listed like 100+ packages
[03:14] <branstrom> IdleOne: gutsy
[03:14] <LjL> Nemesis: (why do you care where it "went", anyway? it's a service, so you need to start it with something like « sudo invoke-rc.d thttpd start »)
[03:14] <Pelo> kevarm, look for sun-java6-jre , -bin ,  -plugin , those are all the ones you need
[03:14] <AlabamaHit> Pelo: trying it now
[03:14] <fedito> Cpudan80: try update-alternatives as I told you. you can pick the right one there
[03:14] <AlabamaHit> thanks
[03:14] <Cpudan80> fedito: alrgihty
[03:15] <IdleOne> branstrom: libssl0.9.7 is in fiesty repos http://packages.ubuntu.com/feisty/libssl0.9.7 might help you or might not :/
[03:15] <sayers> kevarm, That is because it lists ALL packages, not one's preselected for users, so sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin and if you want java dev sun-java6-dev
[03:15] <Nemesis> LjL: Didn't realize it was just a service.
[03:15] <sayers> I mean jdk*
[03:15] <AlabamaHit> Pelo: Do you know of a good program to make a backup of my INstallation? so i dont have to install updates and programs again and maybe keep the theme?
[03:15] <LjL> Nemesis, uh... it's a web server. what else can it be?
[03:15] <Nemesis> LjL: Well, I figured there might be some sort of interface?
[03:15] <branstrom> IdleOne: is it safe to add the feisty universe repo in a gutsy install?
[03:15] <branstrom> and is it the right way to solve this? :/
[03:16] <IdleOne> branstrom: mmmm well it cant be good
[03:16] <Pelo> AlabamaHit, just put your /home on a seperate partitions, all your settings and data are in there,  and you do want to install the updates when they come but ..
[03:16] <Pelo> !backup | AlabamaHit
[03:16] <ubotu> AlabamaHit: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning
[03:16] <IdleOne> branstrom: the right way would be for the package maintainer of what you are trying to install to update the package.
[03:16] <Cpudan80> Pelo: The version on the compiler still doesnt match the jre version
[03:16] <LjL> Nemesis: no, a web server is a web server. UNIX programs tend to do one thing and just one. it's possible that there are interfaces (aka front-ends) for it around, although given it's not an extremely popular web server, i doubt it. if you need to configure it, you'll probably want to edit a file in /etc (do type « dpkg -L thttpd », anyway)
[03:16] <branstrom> I should probably just get them to update the packages, but I'm too lazy. Lazy got me searching for a package in the first place, I don't want to build with each new version
[03:17] <branstrom> sigh
[03:17] <Nemesis> LjL: Thanks
[03:17] <ptn107> its probably a bad thing to have ubuntu hardy and debian lenny share the same home folder right?
[03:17] <Pelo> Cpudan80, is java actualy giving you any problems or are you just looking to fix something that is already working ?
[03:17] <Cpudan80> Pelo: oh nevermind - got it
[03:17] <Cpudan80> Pelo: no it was actually not working
[03:17]  * Pelo goes back to doing his stuff
[03:18] <Cpudan80> I had to do update the alternatives to java6
[03:18] <malocite> so VERY sorry about that
