[04:01] <jake1> djy88 why do you keep saying that?
[04:02] <TigerCR1200> Kewlb: have you tried rdesktop with the window just almost full screen?
[04:02] <jrib> !multiverse > jake1
[04:02] <squeaks> iwlist eth1 scanning shows several networks, but NetworkManager is only showing "Wired Network", NetworkManager had been working up until recently, what can I look at to figure out how to fix this?
[04:02] <clearzen> hi, does anyone know how I would go about setting up a server to stream videos remotely. with a web browser interface? Or have any ideas? Please point me in the right direction.
[04:03] <djy88> jake1, i am china .my 9200se don't use 3d
[04:03] <jake1> i think i got it jrib
[04:03] <Kewlb> TigerCR1200: I tried.. either I get overlap and can't see everything (one above 1024x800) or I have to do 1024x800 which is just not large enough
[04:03] <jake1> apparently it was commented out
[04:03] <jake1> kewlb you may need to edit your xorg file
[04:03] <TigerCR1200> Kewlb: ahhh the switching desktops seems to be a common issue
[04:04] <Kewlb> seamless window is nice, but if I am in .NET and try to run my app it doesn't bring the app up (keeps it in the background)
[04:05] <SeAofSaRo> hey, can anyone tell me the command to search for a list of packages?
[04:05] <djy88> jake1, welcome to join #ubuntu-cn this is many chines in it .
[04:05] <djy88> jake1, welcome to join #ubuntu-cn this is many chinese in it .
[04:06] <Kewlb> will the default evolution mail client eventually learn what is junk and what is not.. or does it require you to manually mark everything as junk all the time?
[04:06] <jake1> can someone get rid of djy88
[04:06] <jake1> he isn't exactly contributing to the channel
[04:07] <jake1> Kewlb: what does your /etc/X11/xorg.conf look like
[04:07] <Kewlb> jake1 what does the xorg.conf file have to do with rdesktop? just wondering.
[04:08] <djy88> ...
[04:08] <jake1> oh......... sorry
[04:08] <jake1> my bad
[04:08] <david_> how can i add root to my log in screen?\
[04:08] <clearzen> is there anyway I can have access to videos on my computer via a web interface remotely?
[04:08] <Kewlb> no prob jake1 -- thanks for trying to help :)
[04:09] <djy88> .
[04:09] <jake1> i thought you were talking about something else
[04:09] <jake1> i try
[04:09] <jake1> i'll jst keep my mouth shut next time
[04:09] <Kewlb> nah
[04:09] <Kewlb> better to speak up and maybe help then keep quiet
[04:09] <bruenig> can anyone confirm the name of the version of ubuntu after edgy, I heard it was sneaky snake
[04:09] <jake1> clearzen: to watch? or to download then watch?
[04:09] <Kewlb> clearzen -- why not just NAT/PAT to your linux box and install apache
[04:09] <jake1> you could set up an FTP
[04:09] <clearzen> both
[04:09] <jake1> or use Apache
[04:10] <jake1> like what kewlb said
[04:10] <clearzen> I am but I don't know how to stream videos
[04:10] <Kewlb> setup PAT to map some wierd ass port to 80, setup authentication, and then you can get them :)
[04:10] <Kewlb> hrm
[04:10] <Kewlb> streaming
[04:10] <Kewlb> videolan!
[04:10] <Kewlb> but thats not via web interface
[04:10] <jake1> oh....... so you want to stream videos
[04:11] <jake1> you could build a website with all your videos there
[04:11] <clearzen> tight...I'm using something called ubuntu center for a web interface
[04:11] <dipnlik> hi. is it possible to switch desktops in Gnome using the scroll wheel in the desktop?
[04:11] <jake1> and then go to the website and watch them directly on the website
[04:11] <jake1> but that may be slow
[04:11] <bruenig> dipnlik, you can scroll where the workspace switcher is
[04:12] <clearzen> I don't know enough php or mysql to program streaming video in it myself though
[04:12] <bruenig> dipnlik, or you can set up a keyboard shortcut to do it
[04:12] <Kewlb> I know that videolan allows for real streaming
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> dipnlik: hover over the screens and move the wheel
[04:12] <Kewlb> but its not via the web
[04:12] <Kewlb> you would connect in directly to the stream
[04:12] <foo> How can I change the Eterm fonts? Hm
[04:12] <Jack_Sparrow> dipnlik: hover over the screens (bottom right corner) and move the wheel
[04:12] <clearzen> maybe I can figure it out...I'll check out videolan
[04:12] <jake1> yea... kewlb: but then he'll need a client on the other end to watch it
[04:12] <kash> can someone use alien to convert sysvinit deb file to tgz
[04:12] <kash> :)?
[04:12] <DrBanzai> Anybody in here familier with the cluster mode of dvd::rip?
[04:12] <Kewlb> true, but thats the easy part
[04:12] <dipnlik> bruenig , Jack_Sparrow , not what I wanted but that helps, thank you
[04:12] <Kewlb> windows -- media player
[04:13] <clearzen> I want to be able to view and then possibly download if I wish
[04:13] <Kewlb> I setup my Myth HTPC to do that.
[04:13] <clearzen> I want to share my ip with my friends and share
[04:13] <clearzen> media*
[04:13] <jake1> clearzen: that might be hard
[04:13] <Kewlb> hrm... not really sure what solution  for that clearzen
[04:14] <clearzen> I think I'm going to learn more about php and mysql
[04:14] <clearzen> I might have to program parts of it
[04:14] <clearzen> thanks anyway
[04:15] <jake1> but you could i suppose set up a remote server
[04:15] <jake1> type thing
[04:15] <jake1> but that might run slow
[04:15] <jake1> depending on your upload speed
[04:15] <jake1> and depending on the download speed of the remote computer
[04:15] <jake1> bleh.... my wifi is having problems
[04:15] <david_> how can add root as one of my login choices
[04:15] <clearzen> that is what I have setup
[04:15] <czer323> Are there any ubuntu specific rooms for InitNG?
[04:15] <clearzen> sorry I have a remote server
[04:15] <roler> the last few days i've had two 2.6.15 kernel updates, the first one didn't have a changes file in the auto updater program, the second kernel update did but didn't offer version history of the version it was installing. Where can I go to see the changes of the 2.6.15 kernel package?
[04:15] <clearzen> that is running apache2 and mysql
[04:16] <jrib> david_: you mean into GNOME?
[04:16] <dipnlik> can you recommend IM clients other than Gaim, Kopete and Psi?
[04:16] <jake1> david_ it should already be there as a choice
[04:16] <jake1> you just might need to give it a password
[04:16] <david_> yeah in to gnome
[04:16] <Kewlb> david_ I do not believe you can login as root.. you use sudo for all priv commands.
[04:16] <david_> its not there already
[04:16] <jrib> david_: that's a bad idea really and there is no need to do it, checkout the message from ubotu
[04:16] <jrib> !sudo > david_
[04:16] <czer323> !initng
[04:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about initng - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:17] <clearzen> if you want a root terminal type this sudo -s -H
[04:17] <Kewlb> right
[04:17] <Kewlb> only need to do that once in a term and you are root
[04:17] <Kewlb> no need to LOGIN as root.. ever.
[04:17] <clearzen> or sudo passwd root
[04:17] <clearzen> and then su
[04:17] <clearzen> I agree
[04:17] <clearzen> it is a horrible idea to make root a login
[04:18] <david_> i used to run mandrake and rh thy had root login, i thought it was i nice feature if you were going in to do things that you need root privs
[04:18] <Kewlb> thats what sudo is for ;)
[04:18] <clearzen> just put a root shell launcher on the lancher panel
[04:18] <Kewlb> and I noticed if you give the password once in a term session
[04:18] <clearzen> that's what I do
[04:18] <Kewlb> you keep it for that session
[04:18] <jrib> Kewlb: expires after 15 minutes by default
[04:19] <Kewlb> ah
[04:19] <Kewlb> even better
[04:19] <jrib> at least I think it's 15
[04:20] <livingtm> this may not be the appropriate channel, but does anyone know if coldwar or any other such games run on anything other than ati or nvidia?
[04:20] <jbroome> there's something other than ati or nvidia?
[04:20] <livingtm> jbroome, i have a laptop with an intel chipset
[04:20] <czer323> Anyone know of a good preference manager?  Like it will be able to list all the preference xml files in the home directory and open them for editing?
[04:23] <DrBanzai> Anybody in here familier with the cluster mode of dvd::rip?
[04:23] <roler> where can I see package changes/history ?
[04:23] <Kewlb> is there a way to make websites that only show wmv content or content that requires windows media player to use mplayer to play that content?
[04:24] <lostsync^> is there a way to install ubuntu 6.06 without booting into a LiveCD?
[04:24] <TigerCR1200> Kewlb: there is a firefox plugin to use mplayer
[04:24] <lostsync^> im working with a PC that has the slowest CD-ROM still in use
[04:25] <jrib> lostsync^: use the alternate install cd
[04:25] <Xappe> lostsync^: the alternate cd
[04:25] <lostsync^> dope thanks
[04:26] <lostsync^> i pressed "Forward" on the language selection dialog literally 45 mins ago
[04:26] <Kewlb> TigerCR1200: when I try to install that it tells me I also have to install mplayer (the ubunto supported one) and like 10 other things
[04:26] <SeAofSaRo> can anyone help me delete a partially installed debian package?
[04:26] <TigerCR1200> Kewlb: welcome to dependency hell
[04:26] <Kewlb> and according to what I have read.. that will remove my ability to play wmv files.. which is a must.
[04:27] <Kewlb> is there a standalone package for it
[04:27] <TigerCR1200> for the addon?
[04:27] <Kewlb> or even a manual way to compile and add the plugin in
[04:27] <spacemind> hi
[04:27] <w30> lostsync, Is it a Sony cdu535 with a tray? Ha. I got one of those at a Ham fest. :=)
[04:27] <TigerCR1200> have you looked at vlc
[04:27] <SeAofSaRo> hi spacemind
[04:27] <Kewlb> vlc ? probably not.. what is it?
[04:27] <spacemind> i need some help to format a 200gb hd to fat32 in linux, can anyone help ?
[04:28] <TigerCR1200> another video player
[04:28] <Kewlb> oh videolan?
[04:28] <Kewlb> I am familar with it.
[04:28] <TigerCR1200> I think it might support wmv cant remember
[04:28] <TigerCR1200> yes
[04:28] <Kewlb> yeah I have mplayer supporting wmv now
[04:28] <Kewlb> works perfectly
[04:28] <Kewlb> thats why I dont want the package to remove it and install its own version
[04:28] <acersales> hi i have linuxcbt bash programming that is in .bin file format i cannot run it with vlc player
[04:28] <acersales> what else is the way to run it ?
[04:29] <w30> lostsync, I installed RedHat 4.6 with it. It took all night to get it installed.
[04:29] <TigerCR1200> Kewlb: check the mplayer site (assuming you configured it yourself) see if you can find the plugin there
[04:29] <kyja> !paistebin
[04:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about paistebin - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:29] <kyja> whats that url?
[04:29] <spacemind> !pastebin
[04:29] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)

[04:29] <spacemind> :)
[04:29] <Kewlb> duH!
[04:29] <Kewlb> let me look
[04:29] <specialbuddy> can anyone help me out with fglrx?
[04:29] <spacemind> !fat32
[04:29] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[04:30] <spacemind> !format
[04:30] <ubotu> Partitioning programs: !GParted or QTParted  -  Formatting partitions: see the manual page for mkfs ("man mkfs")  -  Mounting partitions in Gnome: System -> Administration -> Disks
[04:30] <TigerCR1200> specialbuddy: whats the problem with it?
[04:30] <jackson> I can't seem to change the size of my system fonts. like the font that the clock uses or the font that the minimized windows use. I've tried all the options in System > Preferences and the only one that does anything is lowering the DPI. is there a reason for this? I can't find any way to change the font face. the problem started when I installed KDE and I've since removed it
[04:30] <ootput> how do i get something like orage to startup when i log in?
[04:30] <specialbuddy> well it worked before and now it's not working
[04:30] <Kewlb> TigerCR1200: doesn't seem to be a firefox plugin for it on mplayerhq.hu
[04:31] <specialbuddy> and fglrxinfo says mesa
[04:31] <acersales> hi i have linuxcbt bash programming that is in .bin file format i cannot run it with vlc player any way to play on ubuntu ?
[04:31] <specialbuddy> but I checked xorg.conf and it says it's using fglrx
[04:31] <sess> sorry, can someone tell me how to reenable the trashcan on my desktop?
[04:31] <specialbuddy> so somehow it changed
[04:31] <bruenig> ootput, put it in the startup commands in system>preferences>sessions
[04:31] <TigerCR1200> specialbuddy: check your xorg.conf make sure it is still using fglrx as the driver
[04:32] <nomasteryoda> sess, was it on the desktop  or in the taskbar?
[04:32] <Crescendo_> Is there anything I can do to enable multiple things to play sound at once?  ( So I don't have to close XMMS and Firefox and wait a few seconds, to boot firefox back up and watch a video. ))
[04:32] <specialbuddy> yeah I checked that but I'm using Xgl now too so I think that might have screwed something up last time it upgraded
[04:32] <barata> which one is better, kopete or gaim?
[04:32] <specialbuddy> do you think that has something to do with it?
[04:32] <sess> nomasteryoda: it was on the taskbar
[04:32] <acersales> hi i have linuxcbt bash programming that is in .bin file format i cannot run it with vlc player any way to play on ubuntu ?
[04:32] <DarkMageZ> Crescendo, are the video's under flash player?
[04:32] <barata> is kopete dependent on gaim?
[04:32] <TigerCR1200> specialbuddy: could be
[04:32] <bruenig> barata, they are similar enough that I would just use the one that corresponds with your DE as that means less libs and less clutter
[04:32] <nomasteryoda> sess, you can add any of those applets by rightclick taskbar,
[04:32] <nomasteryoda> drag to where you want
[04:32] <ootput> bruenig: you wouldn't happen to know how to do that with xfce, would you? would .xinitrc work?
[04:33] <acersales> hi i have linuxcbt bash programming that is in .bin file format i cannot run it with vlc player any way to play on ubuntu ?
[04:33] <TigerCR1200> specialbuddy: I would try going back with out XGL and try it out that way
[04:33] <bruenig> ootput, not sure.
[04:33] <TigerCR1200> Kewlb: hmmm search google for the plugin instructions?
[04:33] <specialbuddy> well Xgl was working before no problem
[04:33] <jake1> try in a terminal 'sudo passwd root <password>
[04:33] <jake1> then logout use 'root' as the username
[04:33] <jake1> what's not there?
[04:34] <Kewlb> acersales if no oen has answered your question, there is a tool like daemon tools that can play .bin/.cue
[04:34] <sess> nomasteryoda: is there a way to put a trashcan on my desktop?  thats what I really want, so I can put it into kiwa-dock
[04:34] <nomasteryoda> sure
[04:34] <specialbuddy> but even if I don't use Xgl it's still not working
[04:34] <jackson> I can't seem to change the size of my system fonts. like the font that the clock uses or the font that the minimized windows use. I've tried all the options in System > Preferences and the only one that does anything is lowering the DPI. is there a reason for this? I can't find any way to change the font face. the problem started when I installed KDE and I've since removed it
[04:34] <barata> thanks bruenig
[04:34] <nomasteryoda> sess, i do that with the gconf-editor
[04:34] <TigerCR1200> specialbuddy: what driver are you using in your xorg.conf?
[04:34] <quiet> jake1: you recommend that in here and you're likely to get kicked.
[04:34] <Kewlb> acersales: CDEmu
[04:34] <Kewlb> acersales: is the name of the program
[04:35] <barata> Chu, are you chinese? do you use qq with gaim?
[04:35] <Chu> No, I am not.
[04:35] <acersales> kewlb really i have used that in windows but i couldnt find in linux
[04:35] <barata> okey
[04:35] <barata> any chinese/user who uses gaim/kopete for qq?
[04:35] <Kewlb> acersales: its called CDEmu for Linux -- installed it today -- it works.
[04:35] <specialbuddy> Driver          "fglrx"
[04:35] <nomasteryoda> sess, do as user and click Edit, search for trash
[04:35] <acersales> kewlb thanks
[04:35] <matiu> I did a kernel update or something and now sound stopped working after reboot
[04:35] <matiu> How do I make it work again?
[04:36] <TigerCR1200> specialbuddy: not sure then, I would start all over with the FAQ's on how to set up ATI drivers
[04:36] <acersales> Kewlb, i will try now ;) thanks a lot i was wondering there would be something ;) thanks again
[04:36] <specialbuddy> that's weird that it just changed it
[04:36] <Kewlb> acersales: you will have to install the linux headers or something like that.. it takes about 30-40 mins to get installed
[04:36] <roler> where can I see package changes/history in ubuntu?
[04:36] <matiu> alsaplayer says it's using a "null plugin"
[04:36] <acersales> kewlb i can do apt-get rite ?
[04:37] <Kewlb> acersales: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-69530.html
[04:37] <SeAofSaRo> what is the dpkg man command?
[04:37] <TigerCR1200> !dpkg
[04:37] <ubotu> dpkg is the Debian package maintenance system, which together with apt forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit.
[04:37] <tjb891> i just used the program deborphan to remove what it called orphned packages, unfortunately after i removed the orphaneed libraries i noticed that in orphaned applications it had some legitimite applications, cold it have deleted anay libraries i need?
[04:37] <tjb891> *could
[04:37] <sess> great, thanks nomasteryoda
[04:37] <Kewlb> acersales:  no problem on the help.. I used it today to load a cisco voice ccie CBT stuff
[04:37] <acersales> Kewlb, there is no apt-get for it i guess
[04:37] <sess> worked perfectly
[04:38] <acersales> Kewlb, this is i want
[04:38] <Kewlb> acersales: ??
[04:39] <acersales> i mean i cannot find in apt-cache search Kewlb
[04:39] <Kewlb> acersales: you can do the apt-get for the build-essentials and for the linux headers.. but you do have to manually compile CDEmu -- it worked fine for me tho just
[04:39] <flasher> how can i tell whether my old computer has USB 2.0 or USB 1.0 ports? I ask because I want to know whether USB 1.0 has less power (to charge my iPod).
[04:39] <Kewlb> acersales: can't find what package?
[04:39] <nomasteryoda> flasher, usb 1.0 is lower power
[04:40] <nomasteryoda> lsusb
[04:40] <nomasteryoda> or lspci
[04:40] <flasher> nomasteryoda: what's lsusb?
[04:40] <nomasteryoda> a command
[04:40] <nomasteryoda> to findout what usb things are plugged in
[04:41] <flasher> nomasteryoda: i don't need to know what things are plugged in, just wthere my comp has usb 1 or usb 2
[04:41] <nomasteryoda> flasher, and lspci
[04:41] <nomasteryoda> will tell you what usb controller you have
[04:41] <flasher> ok
[04:41] <nomasteryoda> alogn with lots of other stuff
[04:41] <nomasteryoda> along
[04:42] <Aphex_Twin> can I find a freeware alternative to Macromedia (Adobe) Flash development tools?
[04:42] <xHitSx> hello
[04:42] <flasher> so this is what i got when i did lspci: 0000:00:04.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01)
[04:42] <xHitSx> hi
[04:42] <flasher> does "rev 01" mean usb version 1?
[04:42] <acersales> Kewlb, i have downloaded build-essential
[04:42] <quiet> Aphex_Twin: not reallt. use wine or crossover office to run flash or dreamweaver or fireworks
[04:42] <supermiguel> does gdesklets make your computer slower?
[04:42] <acersales> Kewlb, what is linux headers ?
[04:42] <barata> is there a way to explode rpm in ubuntu?
[04:43] <quiet> rev 1 means USB 1.1
[04:43] <flasher> quiet: thanks.
[04:43] <nomasteryoda> mine is like rev a4
[04:43] <SeAofSaRo> Aphex_Twin : Ya, Macromedia's stuff is really proprietary
[04:43] <SeAofSaRo> unfortunate too because it's become a standard
[04:43] <Aphex_Twin> I found an open source compiler for swf
[04:43] <Kewlb> acersales: guessing its the linux header files for your version.
[04:43] <nomasteryoda> dualboot if you must have macromedia flash
[04:43] <SeAofSaRo> and from what I've read Macromedia/Adobe really don't care anything about linux users
[04:43] <nomasteryoda> use linux for your exploration
[04:44] <niki_> question : i'm installing kubuntu using a live cd...it's been erasing my 40gig hard drive for nearly 3 hours now.  it hasn't locked up or froze, it's still working (showing the rotating 'busy' icon in kde)....is this normal?
[04:44] <quiet> SeAofSaRo: that's not true.
[04:44] <flasher> So if usb 1.1 means lower power, what does lower power mean? Does it just mean that it takes a longer time to recharge my gizmos, such as my iPod?
[04:44] <nomasteryoda> SeAofSaRo, true
[04:44] <nomasteryoda> lol
[04:44] <Kewlb> acersales: just follow the instructions to get them using the `uname -r`
[04:44] <SeAofSaRo> quiet: explain.
[04:44] <nomasteryoda> quiet, really for their software packages it is... only plugins they care about.
[04:44] <acersales> Kewlb, i cannot download from apt-get ?
[04:44] <flasher> because my 5th gen 30 gig iPod is suppossed to have a battery life of upto 14 hours, but after 30 minutes of playing some audio, and then pausing it, 2 days later, it's fully drained
[04:44] <Kewlb> acersales: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[04:45] <barata> is there a way to explode rpm in ubuntu?
[04:45] <SeAofSaRo> well has anyone else signed the waiver to get a 64-bit flash plugin?
[04:45] <nomasteryoda> flasher, i would get a stand-alone usb charger for the ipod
[04:45] <quiet> adobe has a full-time linux developer... flash 9 is very close to release for linux... it's runnign successfully on ubuntu, rhel, gentoo(that's what the developer uses), and some others.
[04:45] <nomasteryoda> or a 10$ usb card
[04:45] <nomasteryoda> er, usb2
[04:45] <flasher> nomasteryoda: why? Do you mean just in my case, since I have a usb1.1 computer?
[04:45] <acersales> Kewlb, thanks a lot
[04:45] <nomasteryoda> or that second option
[04:45] <roler> where can I see package changes/history for ubuntu?
[04:45] <niki_> question : i'm installing kubuntu using a live cd...it's been erasing my 40gig hard drive for nearly 3 hours now.  it hasn't locked up or froze, it's still working (showing the rotating 'busy' icon in kde)....is this normal?
[04:45] <nomasteryoda> roler, just sec
[04:46] <SeAofSaRo> see, i've only read the opposite about flash 9
[04:46] <flasher> nomasteryoda: can you tell me more of what you mean by "lower power"?
[04:46] <nomasteryoda> sure
[04:46] <nomasteryoda> hang on
[04:46] <flasher> i guess it's an electrical question
[04:46] <flasher> ok.
[04:46] <flasher> i'll wait
[04:46] <quiet> SeAofSaRo: it's simple economics... it's not that they don't care about linux users, it's that it's simply not advantageous to spend so much money on linux development until it has more of a market share.  but it can't get more of a market share until it gets support for apps like macromedia and adobe, and such... a bit of a catch-22.
[04:46] <SeAofSaRo> the letter i read from one of adobe's CEO's sounded like he really didn't care about getting a 64-bit flash 9 setup for linux users
[04:46] <quiet> SeAofSaRo: where did you read that? i'm speaking from the adobe linux developers blog.
[04:47] <wastrel> ubunto
[04:47] <quiet> i don't about 64-bit flash.
[04:47] <quiet> and i don't care... i don't run 64-bit hardware... and that's exactly why.
[04:47] <SeAofSaRo> exactly, it's all about the $
[04:47] <tonyr1988> Sorry to butt in the middle of a discussion, but my desktop died (methinks a motherboard problem) and I want a new one (it needed an upgrade anyway). The thing is - I have a new hard drive, new sound card, etc. Who's your favorite OS-less customized desktop dealer?
[04:47] <quiet> it's not very well supported yet.
[04:47] <SeAofSaRo> which is why Adobe products aren't a great solution for linux users
[04:47] <Kewlb> newegg -- buld it yourself
[04:47] <Kewlb> cheaper that way
[04:48] <wastrel> tonyr1988:  yes i've heard good things about newegg
[04:48] <tonyyarusso> I need some GIMP help: trying to make an animated gif out of three still gifs (just a rotating icons thing), and don't know how to do that since I'm not very familiar with the GIMP interface yet.
[04:48] <nomasteryoda> flasher,  http://www.usbpluspower.org/
[04:48] <quiet> Xara Xtreme will be to Linux soon though.. which will be freaking fantastic... finally.. a production quality graphics tool.
[04:48] <SeAofSaRo> they have barebone systems at newegg.com also
[04:48] <DarkMageZ> flash 9 for linux should be ready next year
[04:48] <TigerCR1200> !gimp
[04:48] <ubotu> An advanced image manipulation application for Ubuntu. See http://www.gimp.org for tutorials and more information.
[04:48] <flasher> nomasteryoda: thanks
[04:48] <wastrel> tonyyarusso:  put them in 3 diff layers on the same image and save as gif
[04:48] <nomasteryoda> np
[04:48] <SeAofSaRo> xara is cool
[04:48] <nomasteryoda> who xara?
[04:48] <quiet> gimp is an okay program.. but it's not a prime-time tool.
[04:48] <tonyr1988> I've done simple "building" on desktops, but never from scratch (motherboard and all) - easy enough to do???
[04:48] <SeAofSaRo> i'm actually having a lot of trouble getting maya installed
[04:48] <SeAofSaRo> blender rocks
[04:49] <SeAofSaRo> once again, free and available in synaptic
[04:49] <niki_> question : i'm installing kubuntu using a live cd...it's been erasing my 40gig hard drive for nearly 3 hours now.  it hasn't locked up or froze, it's still working (showing the rotating 'busy' icon in kde)....is this normal?
[04:49] <flasher> nomasteryoda: i don' think it helps
[04:49] <Kewlb> tonyr1988: pretty simple if you ask me.  you can also buy a barebones from newegg as well (I believe) so that the motherboard and other components are already in for you
[04:49] <bruenig> niki_, I am going to say no
[04:49] <TigerCR1200> niki_: Ill guess its not
[04:49] <tonyyarusso> wastrel: How exactly should I go about creating those layers and putting them in / in what order?  I tried mucking with some add layer and paste stuff last night, but it never turned out quite right (only had two of the three images in the end, or a white layer separately).  Also, where do I specify the timing between them?  On save?
[04:49] <tonyr1988> Sweet - I'm off to newegg! Thanks everyone
[04:49] <niki_> bruenig, TigerCR1200, what should i do?
[04:49] <roler> hmm
[04:49] <flasher> nomasteryoda: it talks about new design
[04:50] <nomasteryoda> http://www.usb.org/home
[04:50] <Kewlb> grr.. I am having no luck finding the mplayer plugin on the addon mozilla site :(
[04:50] <quiet> http://www.xaraxtreme.org/
[04:50] <TigerCR1200> niki_: honestly Im not sure, maybe start over but dont take my word
[04:50] <Kewlb> although every doc I have seen said download it from that site.. you think they would link it, lol
[04:50] <nomasteryoda> Kewlb, add the repos
[04:50] <RedGhost> Why are the Canadian repositories so slow :(
[04:50] <Kewlb> nomasteryoda: when I do that they want me to install THEIR version of mplayer that does not support wmv
[04:51] <nomasteryoda> ah
[04:51] <nomasteryoda> ic
[04:51] <roler> nomasteryoda, ; can't find it?
[04:51] <flasher> nomasteryoda: are you sure that the USB 1.1 ports supply less power than USB 2.0 ports?
[04:51] <wastrel> tonyyarusso:  timing is when you save it i think.  as for layers, play with the layers dialog.  you can raise and lower layers and delete them
[04:51] <niki_> TigerCR1200, i actually did that...the first time i let it run 45 minutes before restarting
[04:51] <tonyyarusso> RedGhost: I really don't know, but often had trouble with them.  Switched to Ireland's.
[04:51] <nomasteryoda> flasher, i know they do
[04:52] <tonyyarusso> wastrel: Is there an expanded view so I can see all of the layers that exist at once?
[04:52] <Mr_Awesome> is there a bash function to simply create a file?
[04:52] <RedGhost> tony, I am getting < 1kb when my average download is like 1mb/s, I might switch to the USA ones.
[04:52] <Kewlb> nomasteryoda: if I do the apt-get for the firefox mplayer plugin it wants to remove the existing version, add their version, etc.... unfortunantly no way to add it as a standalone since it doesn't detect mplayer already installed
[04:52] <TigerCR1200> niki_: you could try getting a gparted live cd and just erasing the drive then try that way.
[04:52] <flasher> nomasteryoda: can you give a reference source please? Coz someone else told me they supply same power
[04:52] <nomasteryoda> i have usb 2.0 drives that will not work without 2 usb 1.1 or one usb 2.0 connections
[04:52] <wastrel> tonyyarusso:  the layers dialog lets you see what you've got yes
[04:52] <nomasteryoda> ya
[04:52] <nomasteryoda> same, but not same amps ...hangon
[04:53] <tonyyarusso> RedGhost: US is no better :(
[04:53] <RedGhost> Dammit.
[04:53] <supermiguel> does any one knows if gdesklets make your computer slow when it loads the deamon
[04:53] <Kewlb> hrm.. I found them to be pretty fast thus far.
[04:53] <tonyyarusso> wastrel: Okay, that will help alleviate some confusion.
[04:53] <Kewlb> but I also have MetroEthernet to my house.
[04:53] <TigerCR1200> supermiguel: it can be ram intensive
[04:53] <TigerCR1200> just ask jiSh
[04:53] <supermiguel> TigerCR1200: what do you mean?
[04:54] <tonyyarusso> supermiguel: Yes, it does.  It uses quite a bit of RAM, as well as CPU, thus heating up the machine noticably.  (Although they are quite fun.)
[04:54] <jiSh> wha
[04:54] <jiSh> my ubuntu channel be highlighted.
[04:54] <TigerCR1200> supermiguel: it can use alot of ram, and cpu at times
[04:54] <TigerCR1200> jiSh: was a gdesklet question about ram
[04:54] <jiSh> :P
[04:54] <supermiguel> there is one that will use less tam and cpu?
[04:54] <jiSh> use conky
[04:54] <supermiguel> conky?
[04:54] <jiSh> about..4MB of ram
[04:54] <TigerCR1200> yeah conky is a good option set it up fairly easily
[04:55] <jiSh> yes one sec i find you good thread
[04:55] <TigerCR1200> search the forums for conky
[04:55] <nomasteryoda> flasher,  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Power_supply
[04:55] <jiSh> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205865&highlight=conky
[04:55] <jiSh> supermiguel: look at that thread for screenshot/install
[04:56] <supermiguel> umm
[04:56] <supermiguel> does it work with gnome>
[04:56] <TigerCR1200> yes supermiguel I am using it right now
[04:57] <supermiguel> what can you do with it?
[04:57] <TigerCR1200> supermiguel: read the thread, it will tell you
[04:58] <bl4cktone> Hey guys what is universe apt repository?
[04:59] <tonyyarusso> !universe
[04:59] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[04:59] <miyako> is there a proxy server that is simpler and lighter weight that squid that anyone could recommend, I'm trying to set up something really simple to forward http, and to access it outside my network.  squid seems like overkill, and after a week of trying to make it work, overcomplicated for what I need.
[05:00] <Falcongrinder> hello helpful people :)
[05:01] <supermiguel> hello
[05:01] <Wiseguy> hey guys if i install openoffice through synaptic, is it going to install the gcj stuff again?
[05:01] <supermiguel> ye
[05:01] <Wiseguy> bah
[05:01] <Falcongrinder> noob here, trying to figure out how to make xmms my default mp3 player and mplayer my default movie player
[05:02] <Falcongrinder> is there a config file I could nano to change this?
[05:03] <supermiguel> right click on a mp3 file and click on properties ->open with
[05:03] <Falcongrinder> and thats it? thanks!
[05:04] <Dr_Willis> Amazing how Difficult Linux can be. :P
[05:04] <supermiguel> thas it
[05:04] <miyako> I like linux being complicated, keeps the riff-raff away :-P
[05:05] <inglor>  hey, I need some help :) my power button (the one that pops the menu that lets you log out) doesn't work
[05:05] <inglor>  instead of working it makes everything in the x but the mouse irresponsive
[05:05] <inglor> anyone?
[05:06] <w30>  /part
[05:06] <inglor> what?
[05:06] <wastrel> inglor:  does system->quit do the same thing?
[05:07] <inglor> lemme check
[05:07] <inglor> wasterl, yes
[05:08] <BluR> if I group something in a pattern how do I reference it later?
[05:08] <BluR> $0 isn't working
[05:08] <wastrel> inglor:  you ctrl-alt-backspace to fix?
[05:08] <inglor> wasterl, what?
[05:09] <bl4cktone> when I see this in my source.list it means I'm already setup for universe?
[05:09] <bl4cktone> deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper-updates universe multivers
[05:09] <specialbuddy> I have a usb harddrive and I was wondering how I can change the fstab so that they are given the same drive everytime it's plugged in
[05:09] <bl4cktone> had to generate my source.list with sorce-o-matic
[05:09] <bl4cktone> source-o-matic
[05:09] <wastrel> inglor:  what do you do when it freezes?
[05:09] <specialbuddy> because all of my music is on it and I don't want to select the music folder everytime I disconnect/reconnect
[05:10] <Flannel> bl4cktone: no.  you need just plain dapper as well, dapper and dapper-updates
[05:10] <inglor> wastrel, cold reset
[05:10] <Flannel> bl4cktone: (on different lines)
[05:10] <jtkiefer> anyone know where the logs for failed, logins, su, and sudo are kept?
[05:10] <DarkMageZ> Flannel, it's best if you pastebin your entire sources.list
[05:10] <DarkMageZ> Flannel, ops :P
[05:10] <dibblego> how do you find out the version of the latest or an install package with apt-get?
[05:10] <dibblego> *installed
[05:10] <bl4cktone> Is the universe a program I can open Flannel?
[05:11] <ladydoor> weird question...does anybody know how to turn on insults in sudo when you get the password wrong? i know how to open visudo, but from there?
[05:11] <wastrel> inglor:  what does ctrl-alt-backspace do?  (that should kill X, which should then restart.)  or try ctrl-alt-f1 to drop to terminal (ctrl-alt-f7 will return)
[05:11] <czer323> Random question: I know that ram usage at least on my windows side, I try to keep to a minimum. Yet, I seem to be maxing out my 640MB pretty much non-stop with Ubuntu/gnome.  The desklets are ram hogs too!  10-20mb each.
[05:11] <Flannel> bl4cktone: no, it's a collection of software, you can peruse it via synaptic, or packages.ubuntu.com, if you'd like though
[05:11] <bl4cktone> like synaptic
[05:11] <inglor> control+alt+f1 works
[05:11] <bl4cktone> Ohhh ok
[05:11] <fokuslee> hi hi
[05:11] <inglor> control+alt+backspace does too
[05:11] <inglor> doesn't help me much
[05:11] <fokuslee> does any one have a prebuilt wine for k8?
[05:11] <BluR> what is wrong with this?:
[05:11] <BluR> $HTTP["host"]  =~ "^(www.)?([^\.] +.)norbauer\.com" {
[05:11] <BluR> 	server.document-root = "/var/www/$1norbauer.com"
[05:12] <czer323> Any suggestions about how to minimize ram usage?  Perhaps a memory manager for emptying the cache more often?
[05:12] <flasher> nomasteryoda: you said that your 2.0 drives won't work without 2 usb 1.1 ports because each drive needs 2 1.1 cables plugged in? Also, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus#Power_supply doesn't say anything about the difference in power supply between usb 1.1 and 2.0
[05:12] <mckinnoj> hey guys i have a question
[05:13] <inglor> wastrel, you there?
[05:13] <wastrel> inglor:  i'm not really sure but i think this may be a problem relating 3d acceleration?  your graphics card.
[05:13] <mckinnoj> i've done this before on my computer but i've forgotten how to do it
[05:13] <tonyyarusso> czer323: Ubuntu will actually try to keep the ram filled pretty well to minimize disk access.  That is not necessarily an indication of decreased performance (unless you can observe such).
[05:13] <inglor> wastrel, to be honest I recently installed aiglx, it's probably what might've cause it,
[05:13] <mckinnoj> i need to access the Windows partition on my hard drive...i know that there is a shell script for it...where can i find it?
[05:13] <wastrel> inglor:  that "logoff" window fades the screen and pops up the logoff buttons.    your X is still responding to keyboard commands.  but your display is locked up.
[05:13] <inglor> wastrel, but is there any easy fix?
[05:13] <wastrel> i have no idea
[05:13] <richee> hi folks, I want to play an avi file but the qulaity of it is so bad that I can't see a thing, tried mplayer avifile-player but still the same
[05:13] <richee> ?
[05:13] <nomasteryoda> flasher, well i know it is different for some devices... maybe they are not using standard usb specs
[05:13] <nomasteryoda> hmm
[05:13] <wastrel> maybe a smart person will help you next inglor :]
[05:14] <czer323> Tonyyarussa> There's only been one occasion when I noticed it was starting to do a lot of paging from the hd.  I just thought it was unusual.
[05:14] <inglor> wastrel, do you know such a person :P?
[05:14] <wastrel> inglor:  if you turn off your 3d accel does it still happen?
[05:14] <jtkiefer> does anyone know where the logs for failed, logins, su, and sudo are kept?

[05:15] <asldfjwof> any suggestions which file system type i should create my linux part?
[05:15] <botxj> ext3 maybe!
[05:15] <botxj> i mean, it's the only choice!
[05:15] <fokuslee> mckinnoj what are u talking about
[05:15] <acersales> Kewlb, all goes well from the tutorial but when it comes to modprobe it gives no output
[05:15] <yanger> asldfjwof, any. ext3, reiserfs, and jfs work wonders :)
[05:16] <fokuslee> ntfs should be visibal
[05:16] <botxj> whoa, i forgot about those file systems
[05:16] <mckinnoj> fokuslee, there is a shell script that you can install that allows you to access your windows partition on ubuntu
[05:16] <asldfjwof> ext2 or ext3, what is the diff?
[05:16] <fokuslee> and mounted
[05:16] <Senesence> Anyone know how to get "Python 2.5 IDLE" working on ubuntu? I'v looked around everywhere but I can't find anything on the topic.
[05:16] <botxj> ext3 is obviously better than ext2
[05:16] <Krokinole> The Ubuntu forums seem to be down!
[05:16] <flasher> nomasteryoda: by the way, am i on 1.1 or 1.0. -----> 0000:00:04.2 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 USB (rev 01)
[05:16] <asldfjwof> botxj how is that obvious?
[05:16] <bimberi> ubotu tell mckinnoj about ntfs
[05:16] <acersales> Kewlb, all goes well from the tutorial but when it comes to modprobe it gives no output
[05:16] <jtkiefer> so I guess nobody has the answer to my question about the logs
[05:16] <inglor> krokinole, working fine for me
[05:16] <yanger> asldfjwof, google explains better
[05:17] <inglor> warstel?
[05:17] <bimberi> mckinnoj: the /msg from ubotu should have a link for you
[05:17] <BluR> anyone know how I can capture a regular expression from a $HTTP["host"]  =~ regex?
[05:17] <wastrel> inglor:  i don't know how - but X functions fine without 3d accel...
[05:17] <asldfjwof> google also has<PHONE_NUMBER>35 pages to reference
[05:17] <botxj> asldfjwof beats the heck outta me man, but it's in the numbers
[05:17] <Kewlb> acersales: hrm.. i'll look at that in a sec, busy screwing something up right now
[05:17] <inglor> wastrel, but does it with aixgl inbound?
[05:17] <Krokinole> inglor, this is mystifying - rest of ubunty site works fine
[05:17] <wastrel> inglor:  i don't know what aixgl is :]
[05:17] <wastrel> inglor:  gotta go.. :]
[05:17] <fokuslee>  does any one have a prebuilt wine for k8?
[05:17] <acersales> Kewlb, take your time
[05:17] <yanger> asldfjwof, google actually has 2320000 referenced
[05:17] <yanger> :)
[05:17] <jtkiefer> again, does anyone know where the logs for failed, logins, su, and sudo are kept?
[05:17] <inglor> wastrel, it's similar to XGL
[05:17] <Mangix> !itunes
[05:17] <ubotu> itunes is not available on Linux, but there are many audio player alternatives (see !players). For Daap clients (sharing music with other iTunes clients on the network), install banshee
[05:17] <inglor> wastrel, only much better and integrated into X
[05:18] <fokuslee> !wine
[05:18] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[05:18] <reptyle> jtkiefer, /var/log/auth.log usually.
[05:18] <Flannel> flasher: all versions of USB provide 5V
[05:18] <asldfjwof> yanger: wouldn't that be relative to what you searched for?
[05:18] <Mangix> !players
[05:18] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[05:18] <Krokinole> Anyone using ATI Xpress 200m?
[05:18] <jtkiefer> reptyle, thanks
[05:18] <Mangix> hey
[05:18] <Mangix> anyone know how to manage an iPod in Ubuntu?

[05:19] <yanger> asldfjwof, .. but really... googling or ext3 and ext2 found a list, somewhat cumbersome list, yes, but if u read the titles, they can tell you ALOT ;) let's say... title says "ext2 vs. ext3" oh! my! comparisions :) http://www.sccs.swarthmore.edu/users/03/nori/maenad/geek/di8k-debian/node29.html

[05:19] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[05:19] <yanger> asldfjwof, :) ext3 has journaling. ext2 doesn't
[05:21] <jtkiefer> in terms of secondary partitions though if you want interoperability with windows just for file storage and transfer fat16 and 32 work as well I think
[05:21] <asldfjwof> yanger: not to be a pretentious snob, but I fully understand file systems.  There are many different fs and I know that certain fs work better with various OS's.
[05:21] <JoseStefan> any known recent issues with update-rc.d ?
[05:21] <yanger> asldfjwof, so, why are u asking about ext2 and ext3?
[05:21] <asldfjwof> Granted Ubuntu isn't something "new", I wasn't sure if using a particular fs with Ubuntu offered any pros.
[05:21] <ladydoor> JoseStefan: what're you trying to do?
[05:21] <asldfjwof> I just want to get it installed so I can try out Ubuntu
[05:22] <ladydoor> asldfjwof: ext3 is probably the best for ubuntu, as it's the default
[05:22] <JoseStefan> ladydoor, update-manager said there was a new flash version available
[05:22] <asldfjwof> I'm a freeBSD/Mandrake guy
[05:22] <asldfjwof> thanks ladydoor
[05:22] <yanger> :| it depends what you're using it for. if your just playing with it, ext3 is great, ext2 isn't recommended anymore?
[05:22] <bl4cktone> JoseStefan: You da man!
[05:22] <ladydoor> JoseStefan: err...what was your question about update-rc.d?
[05:22] <ladydoor> asldfjwof: np
[05:22] <JoseStefan> ladydoor, it failed because of it, wondered if there was any known issues with it
[05:23] <fernando_> i mess up while cutomising my pc how do i restore it to the original way
[05:23] <fokuslee>  does any one have a prebuilt wine for k8?
[05:23] <ladydoor> JoseStefan: is the flash you're using from a standard ubuntu repo or from somewhere else?
[05:23] <JoseStefan> ladydoor, yes
[05:23] <ladydoor> fokuslee: please stop repeating yourself. ask on a wine channel.
[05:24] <ladydoor> JoseStefan: well, now that we've covered both options...which is it?
[05:24] <JoseStefan> ladydoor, standard from repos
[05:24] <ladydoor> JoseStefan: ah, ok. does sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade spit out any errors, and if so, would you pastebin them?
[05:24] <Kewlb> it works WAHHOOO!!!!!!!!!
[05:24] <Bryce> hey guys i hate to be that asshole who just walks in and asks a question, but i cant't for the life of me figure out how to google for it correctly
[05:25] <Bryce> i want to stop a module from loading without just moving it from the modules folder
[05:25] <Bryce> and it's not in /etc/modules
[05:25] <Bryce> where would it be listed
[05:25] <Kewlb> found the manual download for the firefox mplayer plugin, got it installed and it works perfectly for playing wmv files and streaming content that only windows media player is suppose to play
[05:25] <Bryce> and i grepped through all of the text files in /etc/modprobe.comf
[05:25] <bruenig> Kewlb, why didn't you just use the repo?
[05:25] <teimu> why can't i set my resolution to 1280x1024. i've downloaded the nvidia drivers, changed to "nvidia" vs "nv" in xorg.conf, but still, nothing. any ideas?
[05:26] <Bryce> does your screen support it?
[05:26] <teimu> yea
[05:26] <Bryce> is that configured correctly?
[05:26] <teimu> i had it on breezy
[05:26] <Kewlb> bruenig: it would have removed the version I had installed that supported the wmv codecs
[05:26] <teimu> Bryce, well, how do i know if it's configed correctly
[05:26] <bruenig> Kewlb, the one you had wasn't from the repo was it?
[05:26] <Kewlb> bruenig: nope, built it manually
[05:27] <JoseStefan> ladydoor, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24056
[05:27] <bruenig> yeah, that is why I don't build stuff manually unless I absolutely have to
[05:27] <Bryce> teimu: Check the horizontal and vertical syncs and see if they match up with your monitor
[05:27] <jtkiefer> Ok, I officially hate the gnome movie player, I can't for the life of me to play this dvd, it keeps giving coded errors
[05:27] <jtkiefer> err codec errors
[05:27] <Kewlb> heh
[05:27] <Captain_Redbeard> Hmm where can i find info about the so called "break my ubuntu" repositories?
[05:27] <Kewlb> gtkiefer mplayerhq.hu
[05:28] <Bryce> teimu: What sort of monitor is it lcd? crt? laptop lcd?
[05:28] <jtkiefer> despite the fact that I've downloaded all the available codec packs via apt-get
[05:28] <teimu> lcd
[05:28] <jtkiefer> Kewlb, I'll check it out
[05:28] <ladydoor> JoseStefan: i'm really sorry...i don't know what to tell you
[05:28] <Bryce> teimu: what make? and model?
[05:28] <Kewlb> jtkiefer: I ran into this today, I had to remove the apt-get ones.. and manually download configure and make the mplayer from mplayerhq -- but everything is working great now
[05:28] <JoseStefan> ladydoor, is there a log of cmds done with sudo?
[05:28] <teimu> samsung syncmaster 912T
[05:29] <ladydoor> Captain_Redbeard: deb http://www.microsoft.com main
[05:29] <Bryce> Anyone know how to find all modules that will be loaded? It's not in /etc/modules and i can't figure out where to look from there
[05:29] <drcode> hi all
[05:29] <drcode> any one know about project of voice fillter
[05:29] <jtkiefer> Kewlb, ugh, just rm -rf / my drive now for all the work it'll take
[05:29] <drcode> so I can fillter my own voice?
[05:29] <jtkiefer> :)
[05:29] <ladydoor> JoseStefan: i don't know...sorry.
[05:29] <jtkiefer> jk
[05:29] <Kewlb> jtkiefer: eh wasn't THAT bad.. it did take about 2 hours though
[05:30] <Captain_Redbeard> I would like to try out X11R7.1 and I can't find any packages for it anywhere so I thought I'd try there... :p
[05:30] <Kewlb> jtkiefer: also there was an error on the doc I found giving instructions.. and had to take out a configure line to get it to compile
[05:31] <jtkiefer> Kewlb, I took the time and bandwith to download and install KDE so I'm gonna check out the options on that first before I resort to uninstalling and reinstalling a default package just to get one filetype to work
[05:31] <jtkiefer> oops, I meant mediatype not filetype
[05:31] <jtkiefer> but thanks for the advice
[05:31] <Captain_Redbeard> How about edgy repositories then? :p
[05:31] <Captain_Redbeard> anyone?
[05:31] <specialbuddy> can someone please help me with fstab?
[05:31] <Kewlb> jtkiefer: how bad was the KDE install?.. I like KDE better.. but now that I got everything working right I be damned if I am screwing with it
[05:32] <Bryce> Redbeard: i Hvent found any XllR7.1 packages yet
[05:32] <Kewlb> what about fstab specialbuddy
[05:32] <briguyd> with xmodmap, is there any way to modify a modifier key, in order to have capslock be shift+capslock instead?
[05:32] <Kewlb> also for the love of god.. is there a better IRC client other then XChat
[05:32] <Bryce> get opera
[05:32] <Bryce> and use the chat in there
[05:33] <briguyd> Kewlb, which?
[05:33] <Bryce> that's what i'm doing
[05:33] <jtkiefer> Kewlb, i downloaded and instlaled BitchX which works pretty well
[05:33] <briguyd> Kewlb, err... why?
[05:33] <specialbuddy> Kewlb, I have a usb hd with 3 partitions and everytime I plug it in the drives go to different folders
[05:33] <specialbuddy> I want to make it so that each partion goes to a certain folder
[05:33] <Bryce> automount would probably be your problem
[05:33] <Kewlb> ahh BitchX . an old school client
[05:33] <Kewlb> makes me remember the old days when I installed linux just to winnuke people.
[05:33] <Bryce> specialbuddy: are they going into /media/<something>
[05:33] <SSXS> well you could try konversation
[05:33] <briguyd> with xmodmap, can you modify a modifier key, for example to have lock be shift+capslock instead?
[05:33] <SSXS> konversation really rocks
[05:34] <specialbuddy> yeah
[05:34] <Dr_Willis> i download and compule xchat 2.4 :P
[05:34] <Bryce> briguyd: I'm not sure but i thought that you could only do a 1 -> 1 change
[05:34] <Kewlb> ah
[05:34] <Kewlb> this is xchat-gnome 0.0. -1
[05:34] <czer323> Any users tried GimpShop?  Opinions please?
[05:34] <Kewlb> heh
[05:34] <jtkiefer> Kewlb, it was a pain just because it took awhile to download and install and the main kde packages and programs was about 700 megs or so, but it hasn't been bad since then, though the session management on the login screen makes switching back and forth from gnome to kde and visa versa a bit of a pain
[05:34] <specialbuddy> then /media /usbdisk-1
[05:34] <specialbuddy> etc.
[05:34] <briguyd> Bryce, what does that mean?
[05:34] <mickey> hello, im pretty new to ubuntu
[05:34] <Blinker_> ok, so i've tried a dozen different mount option variations and I cant get ubuntu to mount a partition on the local drive for user rw access. ideas anyone?
[05:34] <SSXS> well...
[05:35] <ubunturos> mickey, what brings you here?
[05:35] <Bryce> specialbuddy: try editing the file /etc/fstab and setting it up explicitely in there
[05:35] <Dr_Willis> Blinker_,  and whats the file system on the drive?
[05:35] <specialbuddy> but If I have my music on it, I don't want to have to change the directory all the time to make it work
[05:35] <SSXS> does that mean that u cant run kde apz on ubuntu ?
[05:35] <Kewlb> jtkiefer: ah.. downloads not that bad for me.. my company pays for me to have a Metro Ethernet connection
[05:35] <SSXS> without the kde files?
[05:35] <mickey> well im having some trouble learning some new tricks, my friend told me to try you out
[05:35] <bruenig> SSXS, you can, just need the kde libs
[05:35] <specialbuddy> I know I need to change /etc/fstab but I'm having a hard time with it
[05:35] <SSXS> ohhhh
[05:35] <Xenguy> mickey: ask away
[05:35] <ubunturos> do you have any reference books?
[05:35] <Bryce> specialbuddy: what troubles are you having?
[05:35] <Blinker_> Dr_Willis: ext3. see also: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24057
[05:35] <mickey> im trying to access files on my other windows partition, and he said it has something to do with etc/ something
[05:35] <mickey> rewriting code
[05:35] <SSXS> yeah... but thats weird... I run kubuntu and it comes preconfigured to run gnome and kde file
[05:35] <Kewlb> nothing better then 10MB fiber drop right to your house.
[05:36] <briguyd> Bryce, what do you mean by a 1 -> 1 change?
[05:36] <ubunturos> yes, you need not re-write code
[05:36] <mickey> nice
[05:36] <ubunturos> but edit the /etc/fstab file
[05:36] <mickey> yeah thats what i think he was saying
[05:36] <jtkiefer> SSXS, if you want to use purely KDE I suggest Kubuntu, if you want to switch back and forth it isn't too hard to get KDE and gnome to both be installed and switcheable at login
[05:36] <mickey> fstab
[05:36] <Dr_Willis> Blinker,  for my ext3 drives. i make a directory in the mounted drive. and then assign the permissions on THAT to be r/w by the users i want. (sort of a 2nd home for them)
[05:36] <specialbuddy> I just want it to go to certain folders but I don't know what to change
[05:36] <Dr_Willis> Blinker,  i dont assign the 'whole' drive (hdb1) to be owned by them,
[05:36] <specialbuddy> because 1 is fat32 and the other 2 are ntfs
[05:36] <jtkiefer> kewlb, spoiled
[05:36] <ubunturos> I'll post  a link where you can learn to
[05:36] <Xenguy> mickey: backup the original /etc/fstab first :-)
[05:36] <mickey> thanks
[05:36] <ubunturos> edit the /etc/fstab file
[05:36] <Bryce> mickey: Try NTFS-3g http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=23836054&forum_id=2697
[05:36] <mickey> ok, how do i find that, lol sry, new to this
[05:36] <ubunturos> or ..alternatively, just try one command..
[05:36] <mickey> i know the terminal tho
[05:37] <Kewlb> jtkiefer: nah.. I usually do not tunnel my internet traffic through it. its mostly for a site-to-site vpn straight to cisco
[05:37] <ubunturos> open gnome-terminal
[05:37] <ubunturos> and type
[05:37] <Bryce> briguyd: like you can only take one key and make it another
[05:37] <ubunturos> sudo mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /media
[05:37] <Bryce> birguyd: you can't take one key and have it act like a combo of keys
[05:37] <ubunturos> this would allow you to acess
[05:37] <Kewlb> jtkiefer: but if I have something large to download i'll turn off the split tunnel on the router and tunnel everything through the ME connection.. and yep.. it flies.
[05:37] <RaggedJack> I have added all of the multivers universe repositories to my sources.list and I can not get java to install apt-get says it does not exist.  I have followed the faq but still no joy any suggestions I did an apt-get update after editing the sources.list file as well.
[05:37] <sess> anyone have a wacom device configured properly?
[05:37] <ubunturos> the C: drive of windows under the folder /media
[05:37] <mickey> ok
[05:37] <briguyd> i think theres ways to do shift and alt and stuff to keys, but i was wondering if you could so that for a modifier key, like caps lock
[05:37] <ideas> you guys ever heard of these people?  needing to find a host that offers ssh access and it seems not many good ones do ...  www.NexusNetworks.com ... love to hear your experiances...
[05:38] <briguyd> ideas, dreamhost allows it, too
[05:38] <Xenguy> mickey: assuming the windows partition is hda1 of course
[05:38] <mickey> this is odd...
[05:38] <mickey> it asks me for my password, and it wont type anything in
[05:38] <Gevaudan82> ideas: try eapps.com ...they give you full administrative access and tomcat support if you need it using virtuozzo
[05:38] <ladydoor> mickey: it's so people can't see its length
[05:38] <Bryce> special buddy:  copy and paste me what you have
[05:38] <mickey> ooo
[05:38] <ladydoor> mickey: it's just a better security precaution than windows uses
[05:38] <nrdb> I am trying to setup the vmware-player package but it is failing saying "Module vmnet is not loaded" can anyone help?
[05:39] <specialbuddy> !pastebin
[05:39] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[05:39] <Bryce> ideas: try Rimu Hosting, full virtual servers using zen
[05:39] <Bryce> xen*
[05:39] <ubunturos> so, you can supply the password?
[05:39] <mickey> mount: special device /dev/hda1 does not exist
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> nrdb,  why not install the vmware server also? :P
[05:39] <ubunturos> so you don't have the C: drive in windows?
[05:39] <chowdaryharsha> hi.......can i know how to install another browser
[05:39] <ideas> ladydoor, contact me
[05:39] <chowdaryharsha> ??
[05:39] <ideas> zen sucks.. rather use vmware
[05:39] <ladydoor> ideas: about your question? i don't know the answer. sorry
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> chowdaryharsha,  apt-get install opera, or dillo, or whatever ya want
[05:39] <mickey> well, i made the dual boot after i installed windows, im using the same drive
[05:39] <Dr_Willis> !opera
[05:39] <supermiguel> chowdaryharsha: which one do you want
[05:39] <ubotu> opera is an advanced and free (only as in price) web browser.  Install it via Applications->Add/Remove..., making sure that "Show commercial applications" is checked. For more info on opera please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OperaBrowser
[05:39] <bruenig> chowdarharsa, what browser?
[05:39] <Xenguy> mickey: this should display your partitions:  fdisk -l
[05:39] <mickey> k
[05:39] <ideas> ladydoor, no Ithe answer about your vmware player quewstion
[05:40] <rendo> I'm trying to install mysql-server and I'm following the ubuntu dapper guide wiki http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_MYSQL_Database_Server and I get this message mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failederror: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'   What am I doing wrong?
[05:40] <chowdaryharsha> may i know to install another browser
[05:40] <specialbuddy> Bryce, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24058
[05:40] <Gevaudan82> nrdb: hmm...i had no problem installing vmware player on ubuntu...worked out of the box...might try updating your kernel via symantec if you aren't at the latest
[05:40] <ubunturos> see which one do you want to mount
[05:40] <nrdb> Dr_Willis: there is no vmware server package .
[05:40] <jtkiefer> ugh, firefox is much better than opera
[05:40] <Bryce> ideas: Xen is the future, a 2-8% performance hit beats the crap out of the 20-35% hit from vmware
[05:40] <ladydoor> ideas: i'm afraid that wasn't my question. you've got me confused with someone else
[05:40] <ladydoor> ideas: thank you anyway, though.
[05:40] <jtkiefer> though I'm somewhat dissapointed with plugin and extension issues that it keeps causing
[05:40] <Gevaudan82> rendo: you need to start the service.../etc/init.d/mysql start
[05:40] <ideas> ESX doesn't have a 20-35% performance gap
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> nrdb,  do it the old fashioned way then and download it from the vmware site.
[05:40] <nrdb> Gevaudan82: kernel just updated package reloaded.
[05:40] <mickey> partition 1
[05:40] <Dr_Willis> nrdb,  i been playing with it all week.. its .. fun.
[05:40] <briguyd> does anyone here know how to use xmodmap?
[05:40] <Kewlb> hrm.. never heard of Xen.. is it virtual machine software?
[05:40] <ubunturos> mickey, http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html should help you too
[05:40] <ideas> yes
[05:41] <rendo> Gevaudan82: It's already running, and still comes up with that message.
[05:41] <mickey> kk
[05:41] <st4hl> hi, i have a question in ubuntu server installation, what is the difference between "install to the hard disk" and "LAMP" ? just the AMP part?
[05:41] <Blinker_> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24057 I need to know how to set the options for sda4 so that any user can r/w
[05:41] <mickey> well let me make sure its configured correctly for doing this..
[05:41] <ideas> and its like compairing a car in the 1920's (xen) compaired to a sports car in the 2010 (vmware)
[05:41] <nrdb> Dr_Willis: there seems to be a package dependancey problem here.
[05:41] <mickey> im running windows/ubuntu off of 1 drive, and theres 2 partitions. 1st partition is windows, 2nd is ubuntu im guessing
[05:41] <Hit3k> ideas i'd rather have the classic
[05:41] <Bryce> specialbuddy: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24059
[05:41] <Gevaudan82> rendo...mysql by default has no root password...so you should be able to type mysql -u root and get in...if it doesn't work, easiest way is to uninstall, reinstall and then set you a root password using mysqladmin passwd root newpassword (check this to make sure, i belive it is the right order though)
[05:41] <Kewlb> st4hl: just guessing but install to hard disk is prolly basic install while LAMP will install apache, php, mysql as well
[05:42] <Bryce> you just had to replace the smbfs with ntfs
[05:42] <ideas> vmware was around before xen Hit3k
[05:42] <ideas> ;)
[05:42] <st4hl> nod
[05:42] <ideas> so guess its a classic
[05:42] <rendo> I'll try that, thank you.
[05:42] <ideas> just use an older version ;) haha
[05:42] <ubunturos> mickey, are you using  a SATA hdd?
[05:42] <mickey> yup, a raptor
[05:42] <Gevaudan82> xen is supposed to be faster...but well vmware has more support so i'm sticking with vmware for the time being as you probally should for compatibility with basically all guest OSs
[05:43] <specialbuddy> thanks Bryce
[05:43] <mickey> pretty nice drives other than the fact that theyre hard to work with
[05:43] <ubunturos> umm...
[05:43] <Bryce> ideas: Have you read the differences between Xen and Vmware and how they both work differently? BInary patching is not capable of being as fast as para-virtualization, especially now with Pacifica and VT
[05:43] <Kewlb> I got a question about vmware -- can you run the guest-os full screen in one workspace and easily switch over to other workspaces ??
[05:43] <rendo> Umm, I uninstalled, and re-installed and it STILL comes up with the same error about using password: NO
[05:43] <Hit3k> why has noone mentioned qemu
[05:43] <Hit3k> ?
[05:44] <Gevaudan82> kewlb...not with vmware player as far as i know...correct me if i am wrong though...with vmware workstation i know you can
[05:44] <Bryce> no problem specialbuddy
[05:44] <Bryce> qemu is a pain in the ass
[05:44] <Bryce> it's great when you get it to work, dare i say fantastic
[05:44] <mickey> its not gonna work is it?
[05:45] <specialbuddy> actually that didn't work Byrce
[05:45] <rendo> Is there a guide somewhere that WORKS for installing mysql and other related web hosting services?
[05:45] <Gevaudan82> rendo...do a sudo /etc/init.d/mysql status just to appease me :)
[05:45] <Kewlb> Gevaudan82: I am guessing that workstation is not free.... my problem is that I do a lot of dev in vb.net and using rdesktop in full screen works ok, but in rdesktop there is no easy way to minimize it.. you have to disconnect or log off
[05:45] <briguyd> haha! i DID IT!
[05:45] <Bryce> specialbuddy: what errors did it give you?
[05:45] <briguyd> woo!
[05:45] <specialbuddy> none it just doesn't work
[05:45] <briguyd> Bryce, now shift+Capslock is capslock for me
[05:45] <Kewlb> I need a solution that will allow me to work full screen in a windows OS (remote desktop or VM) and easily switch workspaces between that and the linux os
[05:45] <specialbuddy> they mount but not to the folders I want

[05:46] <ladydoor> JoseStefan: good luck!
[05:46] <Kewlb> and dual-display not an option on a laptop and Citrix is not an option either on the server.
[05:46] <Xenguy> mickey: do you know what the windows filesystem is (NTFS, or ...?) ?
[05:46] <Bryce> speicalbuddy: oh crap that's my bad hold on
[05:46] <briguyd> anyone want the xmodmap file?
[05:46] <nrdb> Hit3k: with qemu I have had a lot of trouble with it NIC setup.
[05:46] <ladydoor> briguyd: well, it was you that figured it out! good work.
[05:46] <mickey> ntfs
[05:46] <mickey> no fat for me
[05:46] <briguyd> ladydoor, wouldnt have done it without your help
[05:46] <Bryce> briguyd: can you send me that xmodmap file?
[05:46] <n0dl> is there anywat to get rid of the system beep?
[05:46] <briguyd> hold on, ill pastebin it
[05:46] <briguyd> !pastebin
[05:46] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[05:47] <ubunturos> oh...then there would be a different mounting procedure, mickey
[05:47] <ladydoor> briguyd: well...glad to help!
[05:47] <mickey> sweet, as long as it works
[05:47] <linlin> heh hey mickey
[05:47] <Xenguy> mickey: please preface with my nick, as this channel is busy, and I'm on other channels too :-)  Meanwhile, NTFS can be mounted, but only read-only IIRC (without special tricks anyway)
[05:47] <mickey> haha hey will
[05:47] <linlin> forgot i had this romo open
[05:47] <specialbuddy> so what's the difference between vm player and vm server?
[05:47] <mickey> how do i do that
[05:47] <linlin> room*

[05:47] <supermiguel> micky
[05:48] <mickey> ?
[05:48] <supermiguel> mickey: type on the console sudo apt-get install libfuse2 fuse-utils
[05:48] <briguyd> it's actually quite simple, just took a while to figure it out exactly
[05:48] <mickey> done
[05:48] <Bryce> briguyd: well that's good, what's the pastbin link?
[05:48] <supermiguel> then download http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-ntfs/libntfs8_1.12.1-1_i386.deb
[05:48] <specialbuddy> that's still not going to work Bryce?

[05:49] <briguyd> Bryce, sure
[05:49] <nostrum> hey guysssssssssss
[05:50] <supermiguel> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-ntfs/libntfs8_1.12.1-1_i386.deb, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-ntfs/ntfsprogs_1.12.1-1_i386.deb, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/f/fuse/libfuse2_2.4.2-0ubuntu3_i386.deb, http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/f/fuse/fuse-utils_2.4.2-0ubuntu3_i386.deb
[05:50] <nostrum> I just installed ubuntu but startx is doing NOthin!
[05:50] <briguyd> it's pretty sweet, especially after working off and on on this for weeks
[05:50] <nostrum> whats the dilli yo
[05:50] <nostrum> I got dapper drake
[05:50] <nostrum> but gnome is no go
[05:50] <Bryce> specialbuddy: the problme was that they were commented out
[05:50] <mickey> ok all 4 done
[05:50] <specialbuddy> I know
[05:50] <nostrum> anyone to help?
[05:50] <nostrum> peas
[05:50] <specialbuddy> I uncommented them before
[05:51] <supermiguel> mickey:  do you installed all of them?
[05:51] <nostrum> please
[05:51] <grndslm> anybody know how i can request a certain ip from my router??  i need it to be a static address?
[05:51] <mickey> not yet, ill do that
[05:51] <ubunturos> mickey, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions this link should help you
[05:51] <Bryce> specialbuddy: and they had the ntfs?
[05:51] <nostrum> grndslm: yup
[05:51] <supermiguel> ok
[05:51] <cess_> grndslm, depends on router
[05:51] <supermiguel> do that
[05:51] <specialbuddy> yeah
[05:51] <nostrum> grndslm: i know
[05:51] <supermiguel> and let me know
[05:51] <Bryce> nostrum: try apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[05:51] <specialbuddy> but I don't think it can be ntfs
[05:51] <nostrum> grndslm: is linksys>?
[05:51] <specialbuddy> it has to be nfs or smbfs
[05:51] <nostrum> Bryce: thanks
[05:51] <supermiguel> grndslm: www.no-ip.com
[05:51] <Bryce> specialbuddy: why not
[05:51] <nostrum> Bryce: I thought it came auto with the cd...
[05:51] <briguyd> ladydoor, you like?
[05:51] <Bryce> nostrum: what cd did you use?
[05:51] <supermiguel> tell then to give you an static ip
[05:51] <ladydoor> briguyd: like what?
[05:51] <mickey> for everything, it says that its already been installed, after the first one
[05:51] <Kewlb> hrm.. I wonder if hydraIRC will work on wine
[05:51] <nostrum> grndslm: what you mean by static exactly?
[05:52] <ladydoor> briguyd: oh, just a sec...
[05:52] <briguyd> the capslock thingy
[05:52] <nostrum> Bryce: the Alternate cd
[05:52] <supermiguel> ok
[05:52] <grndslm> i can't install openwrt on it....and i need it to be a local IP, not a domain name
[05:52] <supermiguel> now type
[05:52] <specialbuddy> I don't think it can read ntfs unless you have nfs or smbfs
[05:52] <supermiguel> sudo dpkg -i libfuse2_*.deb fuse-utils_*.deb ntfsprogs_*.deb libntfs8_*.deb
[05:52] <Bryce> nostrum: It should have but something may have been accidently clicked
[05:52] <ladydoor> briguyd: sweeeeeet!
[05:52] <grndslm> i need it to be <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:52] <nostrum> grndslm:oh ok
[05:52] <nostrum> grndslm: you dont do that at the router level
[05:53] <mickey> says no file or directory after some coding
[05:53] <supermiguel> nop
[05:53] <nostrum> grndslm: you specify static address at the machine
[05:53] <grndslm> nostrum, in the networking app?
[05:53] <briguyd> ladydoor, hehe, thanks, let me know if it works for you
[05:53] <supermiguel> are you sure
[05:53] <supermiguel> you install all 4 of them?
[05:53] <nostrum> grndslm: and then you specify a range of dhcp addresses on teh router
[05:53] <mickey> yeah ill try 1 more time
[05:53] <ladydoor> briguyd: oh, i'm not going to use it! but thanks
[05:53] <Bryce> Anyone know where the list of modules that gets loaded is?
[05:53] <ideas> on startup?
[05:53] <ladydoor> briguyd: i could *not* do without control to the left of a
[05:53] <Bryce> not /etc/modules
[05:53] <grndslm> nostrum, i was going to try it, but it says: "Unable to copy the user's Xauthorization file."
[05:53] <Bryce> well in addition to that
[05:53] <nostrum> grndslm: i dont know what app you are referring to i just started with ubuntu but im familiar with networking
[05:53] <ideas> chkconfig --list
[05:53] <ladydoor> briguyd: thank you, though.
[05:54] <supermiguel> there are 4
[05:54] <nostrum> grndslm: the deal is that you must use a static address set at the machine
[05:54] <Bryce> i have a ath_pci that keeps getting loaded and i've got a hack where i just renamed the .ko's but i want to just remove them from being able to be loaded
[05:54] <nostrum> grndslm: and the info gets sent to the router
[05:55] <ideas> /etc/modules and comment out the line
[05:55] <nostrum> grndslm: once i get ubuntu installed on this machine here i guess ill figure out which tool to use...
[05:55] <grndslm> hmm....well, i get it...but i can't open this damn network-admin program and i don't know the command lines to set that up
[05:55] <briguyd> ladydoor, im sure you could change it so the control is without the shift and caps is with it
[05:55] <mickey> i downloaded the 4 from your post previously, where all links were in 1 post, and i installed them
[05:55] <Bryce> ideas: it's not in /etc/modules
[05:55] <nostrum> grndslm: in Gentoo it is a file called /etc/conf.d/net
[05:55] <briguyd> then you could free your control key for something else
[05:55] <mickey> 2 of them went fine, the others wanted to reinstall
[05:55] <Bryce> ideas: i think it gets loaded by hotplug or some system like that
[05:55] <supermiguel> reinstall them
[05:55] <mickey> ok
[05:55] <bl4cktone> i'm trying to backup my gdm.conf-custom but I'm at a loss of what to type it's in etc/gdm
[05:55] <nostrum> grndslm: i am not sure where the net configuration is in ubuntu tree yet
[05:56] <Bryce> grndslm: check /etc/network/interfaces
[05:56] <grndslm> i'd have to add something then?
[05:56] <grndslm> umm....lemme see if i can google that
[05:56] <[1] Kewlb> I guess that answers my question
[05:56] <ladydoor> briguyd: true true, but i really can't think of what. however, i'm glad you've found a setup that works for you :-)
[05:57] <spacey_> Anyone seeing 2.6.17-8-generic #2 SMP crashing amd64?
[05:57] <spacey_> make that, anyone *else*?

[05:58] <ladydoor> briguyd: what do you mean?
[05:58] <nostrum> I went to change the bootloader to lilo and it like went crazy and had to repartition the drives again...
[05:59] <nostrum> hmm i dont think i like ubuntu
[06:00] <nostrum> also, its ugly how it starts up
[06:00] <darnell_> is there an active desktop proggy that will allow my desktop to move
[06:00] <Bryce> nostrum: edgy will be significantly quicker startup because of upstart
[06:00] <inglor> hey, what's the bash command to log out?
[06:00] <nostrum> Bryce: what?
[06:00] <nostrum> Bryce: what is edgy?
[06:00] <nostrum> Bryce: a new release?

[06:01] <Bryce> nostrum: yup
[06:01] <nostrum> I wasnt upset about the time for startup... i was more mad by the seemingly randomly tab-delimited output for the boot
[06:01] <nostrum> for instance, in gentoo everything is more similar for output of program startup

[06:02] <n0dl> how would i start up my wireless card?
[06:02] <Kewlb> acersales: what way did you do?
[06:02] <n0dl> is it ifup eth0?
[06:02] <Bryce> eyequeue: you rock
[06:02] <acersales> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountIso
[06:02] <the1> n0dl:it could be
[06:02] <eyequeue> Bryce, seemed apropros heh
[06:02] <nostrum> the gentoo booting output is so clean with one message per line, etc so you can tell what is actually happening
[06:02] <inglor> my shutdown button isn't working :S
[06:02] <n0dl> the1: theres more than one way?
[06:02] <acersales> i converted my .bin .cue to iso file and just simply mount
[06:02] <nostrum> inglor: in command line: halt
[06:03] <x2mJokada> exit
[06:03] <Kewlb> acersales: that works for iso images.. not for REAL .bin/.cue images
[06:03] <Bryce> eyequeue: haha just fit perfectly
[06:03] <the1> n0dl: first of all, you do know that eth0 is your wifi card?
[06:03] <acersales> Kewlb, but bchunk can convert within one minute so no problem ;)
[06:03] <inglor> 1)it's not working
[06:03] <inglor> 2)my actual logout button isn't working, at all
[06:03] <eyequeue> nostrum, we dpnt care abous gentoo on #ubuntu, but "nosplash" seems to be what you want, at boot, if you were actually looking for support on that :-/
[06:03] <Kewlb> acersales: cool.. glad you got it figured out.
[06:04] <acersales> Kewlb, thanks and same to u got to go
[06:04] <acersales> ubuntu
[06:04] <x2mJokada> leaving
[06:05] <ladydoor> nostrum: to get rid of the usplash, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and remove "splash" from the kernel's boot options
[06:05] <ladydoor> eyequeue: ^
[06:05] <lastnode> anyone know how i can stop ubuntu from putting icons for my disks on the desktop?
[06:05] <n0dl> the1: well im not sure. I dmesg and i see that it detected my wireless card ipw3945 Intel PRO/Wireless
[06:05] <eyequeue> ladydoor, yeah, he probably does want the change to be permanent, eh
[06:06] <justin_> Is there any command in console, that will tell me my refresh rate in X?
[06:06] <n0dl> when i ifconfig however only one device shows (eth0)
[06:06] <the1> n0dl: what is your iwconfig output?
[06:06] <ladydoor> lastnode: check the gconf-editor. it has an option somewhere, i think. but *i* don't know where it is and don't use gnome, so i can't be more specific.
[06:07] <ladydoor> eyequeue: yeah. though it does get put back in at any kernel update--i used to boot without a splash and always had to edit menu.lst.
[06:07] <lastnode> thanks aly
[06:07] <lastnode> ladydoor,
[06:07] <ladydoor> lastnode: yes?
[06:07] <lastnode> sorry, bad tab complete
[06:07] <lastnode> i said thanks ladydoor  :-)
[06:07] <eyequeue> ladydoor, uplash is broken on edgy presently, so i add the nosplash bootparam manually, since i want to see if it gets fixed, heh
[06:08] <ladydoor> lastnode: no problem :-)
[06:08] <ladydoor> eyequeue: it's broken? huh. when did that happen?
[06:09] <eyequeue> ladydoor, within the pst week, i'd say.  i get references to an inability to find something for 640x800, even though i don't use that
[06:10] <eyequeue> ladydoor, it's edgy, i don't mind, at least it boots, heh
[06:10] <ladydoor> eyequeue: that's really weird. i guess i should wait a while before rebooting, huh?
[06:10] <ladydoor> eyequeue: oh! that would be the problem. i use dapper
[06:10] <eyequeue> ladydoor, heh
[06:11] <eyequeue> ladydoor, it's only on a small partition here, i'm in dapper now, as is usual for me

[06:11] <n0dl> ladydoor: sorry about that

[06:13] <n0dl> the1: alright thank you ill try it out :)
[06:13] <the1> man ifconfig and man iwconfig for more options
[06:14] <n0dl> oh btw is there anyway to turn of system beep?
[06:14] <briguyd> anyone?
[06:14] <eyequeue> n0dl, system > preferences > sound
[06:14] <n0dl> eyequeue: in CLI
[06:14] <JoseStefan> ladydoor, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1520874
[06:15] <n0dl> if you know a way :)
[06:15] <eyequeue> briguyd, for login, !/.bash_profile
[06:15] <eyequeue> n0dl, no
[06:15] <n0dl> eyequeue: aaa i
[06:15] <n0dl> c
[06:15] <the1> eyequeue:that will allow you to change gnome sounds, but what bout the beep you get when for example, you backspace too far on a virtual terminal console?
[06:15] <n0dl> thanks anyway
[06:15] <the1> *about
[06:15] <eyequeue> the1, sis you look there?  look at system beep
[06:15] <n0dl> the1: well i read xsetb off xsetb 0 0 0

[06:16] <briguyd> eyequeue, just add the command to the end of that file?
[06:17] <kendals> How do I open .bin files in Ubuntu?
[06:17] <kendals> Without burning them...
[06:17] <eyequeue> briguyd, or anywhere in the sequence you want it.  the file is a bash script basically, so use that syntax
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> the idea of a 'bin' file is vague.. what KIND of  file is it supposed to be.
[06:17] <Gevaudan82> kendals: chmod +x *.bin && ./*.bin
[06:17] <briguyd> eyequeue, what syntax?
[06:17] <Dr_Willis> :) ie. ya refering to a cue/bin or some sort of installer?
[06:18] <kendals> Thanks Gevaundan82.
[06:18] <Dr_Willis> kendals,  thats to install a binary installer package..
[06:18] <eyequeue> briguyd, any thing you would add to a bash script :)  /usr/bin/foo --some --things /here  maybe :)
[06:18] <Dr_Willis> kendals,  your 'without burning them' statement - imples you are working with a cdrom image file.
[06:19] <kendals> Ahh, yeah, Dr Willis.
[06:19] <kendals> It has a cue file as well, so yeah- image.
[06:19] <eyequeue> !cue
[06:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cue - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[06:19] <kendals> lol.
[06:19] <Dr_Willis> convert them to iso , then mount them with the loopback filesystem trick.. Not srue  if you can mount a cue/bin  directly
[06:19] <eyequeue> not sure what that is
[06:19] <kendals> Ahh okay....so how do I convert to iso?
[06:19] <kendals> NeroLinux?
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> i forget. :P bhunnck or somthing like that
[06:20] <kendals> Or, how do I burn them to cd then?
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> k3b can burn them to cd i hear.. never done it however with it.
[06:20] <krazykit> i think k3b will burn bin/cue
[06:20] <ladydoor> kendals: bchunk converts to iso
[06:20] <kendals> ahh, ta.
[06:20] <Gevaudan82> kendals: i think k3b has support....apt-get install k3b
[06:20] <briguyd> eyequeue, but if i just add a command to the end, it'll run?
[06:20] <the1> bchunk - CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr
[06:20] <Dr_Willis> i do seem to recall theres some trick to get k3b to do it.
[06:20] <the1> apt-get install bchunk
[06:21] <eyequeue> briguyd, presuming it's something bash can decipher.  be sure to use /full/path/to/app too
[06:21] <kendals> grabbing k3b and bchunk now :)
[06:21] <eyequeue> briguyd, and nothing interactive, like sudo asking you for a password :)
[06:21] <briguyd> bah, where is xmodmap stored?
[06:22] <the1> /usr/bin?
[06:22] <eyequeue> whatis: option requires an argument -- s
[06:22] <eyequeue> usage: whatis [-dhV]  [-r|-w]  [-s section]  [-m systems]  [-M manpath]  [-C file]

[06:22] <Gevaudan82> Anyone here had a problem with the elusive "8254 timer not connecteed error" that a lot of people seem to have...add noapictimer to the end of the grub boot line works but i'm curious to what this line actually does and what the performance impact is if any?
[06:22] <eyequeue> -w, --wildcard             the keyword(s) contain wildcards.

[06:22] <eyequeue> sorry
[06:23] <eyequeue> not sure where that came from even
[06:23] <Kewlb> aight night guys, wife wants some attention before bed.
[06:23] <Kewlb> thanks for all the help.
[06:23] <ladydoor> eyequeue: pastebin...
[06:23] <eyequeue> ladydoor, random client spew, unknown cause
[06:23] <ladydoor> eyequeue: works for me
[06:24] <ladydoor> eyequeue: what client?
[06:24] <eyequeue> ladydoor, xchat, i'm in gnome right now even
[06:24] <ladydoor> eyequeue: wow.
[06:24] <nilothiago> oi! como instalo o AMSN no ubuntu?
[06:25] <eyequeue> ladydoor, lol yeah, but trying to compare dapper and edgy apps these days, for future support reasons, heh
[06:26] <CharonX> Question. I have installed sun-java 5.0(jdk) and also java 1.4.2(jdk) via the package manager. My system uses 1.4.2 by default. Can I make it use 5.0 without manually changing all of the symlinks ?
[06:27] <Gevaudan82> charonx: update-alternatives --config java
[06:27] <eyequeue> update-alternatives ?
[06:27] <CharonX> Thanks ...
[06:27] <CharonX> That was easy, thanks guys
[06:27] <eyequeue> nice little tool
[06:27] <CharonX> I did not know of that program before
[06:27] <CharonX> Yea...
[06:28] <rathel> hey I got a folder with a bunch of RAR files with MP3s in them, how do I get XMMS to play from RAR or is there another player that allows me to do that?
[06:28] <Bryce> eyequeue: if you were curious they were hidden as modules.alias and modules.dep in /lib/modules/<kernelversion>
[06:28] <eyequeue> Bryce, ahhhhhh, that does make a bit of sense i guess
[06:28] <Gevaudan82> rathel: is it too much effort to just extract them?
[06:28] <Bryce> eyequeue: i must be off thanks again! Take care! I dont' know when i'll be back because my college blocks IRC
[06:29] <Gevaudan82> rathel: i have a feeling very few players would support this
[06:29] <Bryce> bye all
[06:29] <eyequeue> Bryce, take care until then :)
[06:29] <rathel> hmm... does, foobar2000 work under wine? cuz I can just use that
[06:29] <CharonX> rathel, mp3s are already in a compressed format. Thats quite odd to play them from a rar ?
[06:30] <eyequeue> and odd implies very few apps would code in support for it heh
[06:30] <Gevaudan82> out of curiosity how does .tar.gz stack up against .rar anyway?
[06:30] <CharonX> rathel, you could try mounting the rar .....
[06:31] <rathel> they're on a networked computer with emule :x
[06:31] <eyequeue> Gevaudan82, well, tar was written for tape backups and has become somewhat of a standard, but oyu might want to tar.bz2 if you want compression over compatibility
[06:32] <Gevaudan82> good info, thanks
[06:35] <eyequeue> Gevaudan82, "every" *nox box can probably handle .tar.gz btw, so there's reason it's still so common, heh   bzip2 is still new in the scheme of things
[06:35] <eyequeue> s/nox/nix/
[06:37] <Maczimus> hi
[06:37] <darnell_> is there  a page that tells what is different about edgy eft?
[06:38] <jedispam> whats up
[06:38] <jedispam> how is everyone doing
[06:39] <the1> still breathing
[06:39] <mainer> rathel:    http://www.rarsoft.com/
[06:40] <rathel> mainer: yup that's what I used to archive them
[06:40] <jedispam> cool
[06:41] <jedispam> anyone have call of duty 2 running?
[06:41] <jedispam> on a distro
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> perhaps with cedega
[06:41] <Dr_Willis> or is there a nativbe linux port of that one?
[06:42] <jedispam> with cedega
[06:42] <jedispam> is what i've herad
[06:42] <jedispam> heard
[06:42] <jedispam> i'm wondering if anyone has had experience with it
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> My experience with cedega.. is that im better off rebooting to windows.
[06:42] <Dr_Willis> :)
[06:43] <Dr_Willis> sadly
[06:43] <Yggdrasil> hello ,anyone know where i can get some old world mac help for ubuntu?
[06:43] <mainer> rathel:  then unrar them you'll have the mp3's
[06:43] <the1> call of duty 2 is ported to macOS...you would think the developers would just do a port to linux along with or even in place of that
[06:44] <rathel> mainer: nah that's okay I'll just use Foobar2000 under wine
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> the1,  they dont want to spend the effort.. or support costs. sadly..
[06:44] <the1> not to troll, but I think Linux has more market share than MacOS
[06:44] <rendo> Why is it extremely difficult to install and get apache php and mysql to work with dapper?
[06:44] <CharonX> Hmm anyone know of a firefox extension that syncronizes extensions like some syncronize bookmarks ?
[06:44] <Dr_Willis> support for linux from a comercial game.. is a bigger hassle then on the mac.
[06:44] <the1> rendo: I think  there is a LAMP package that makes it easier
[06:44] <Gevaudan82> the1: it does...but having a corporate backing has its benefits
[06:44] <rendo> !LAMP
[06:44] <ubotu> offically the LAMP stack is: Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}, Setup LAMP on Ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP  ; See also server cd install menu ; however jdub had this to say:  Linux, Apache, Most-of-our-scripting-languages-start-with-a-P, Postgresql (and that other one) :)
[06:44] <Yggdrasil> the1 this mac is ancient.. and its running linux
[06:44] <Yggdrasil> pretty awesome
[06:44] <rendo> Thank you.
[06:45] <Yggdrasil> having some problems getting it into an udated kernel
[06:45] <CharonX> Yggdrasil, OS X or a open source linux distro ?
[06:45] <Yggdrasil> uh
[06:45] <Yggdrasil> ubuntu
[06:45] <Yggdrasil> its a mac clone from the 90's
[06:45] <mainer> rathel: cool,in case its handy  http://frankscorner.org/ its very good
[06:45] <CharonX> That is old
[06:45] <Gevaudan82> rendo: if you don't want to go the LAMP route, try searching "perfect install 6.06" in google...it will set you right up
[06:48] <marko2> can someone help me install this thing? I've tried the regular CD and it goes painfully slow (i assume its because I only have 256MB, not sure). So I got the alternate CD and when I go into text mode, it says it's booting kernel, but then it reaches a black screen and stays there for ever
[06:48] <jedispam> reset
[06:49] <Gevaudan82> marko2: the live cd should boot w/ just 256 mbs of ram...what happens when you use the livecd---how far do you get?
[06:49] <Maczimus> marko you may be able to try the "safe graphic install mode"
[06:49] <kendals> How do I get my asoundrc file to be back to default?
[06:50] <Gevaudan82> Maczimus: doesn't the livecd use the vesa driver anyway and not try to detect your graphics card?
[06:50] <Maczimus> wasnt real sure but there is an option?
[06:51] <Maczimus> finally got dual boot and wireless working on my laptop YAY!
[06:51] <marko2> Gevaudan, i'm not sure if it goes all the way, but it literally takes 10 minutes to load up a screen
[06:51] <morzel> morning
[06:52] <Maczimus> oh and i have had systems start in the "safe mode" vs normal installer
[06:52] <Gevaudan82> Maczimus: i did so once, but i've decided just to stick w/ vmware for the time being...i ran into trouble reinstalling windows and getting grub reconfigured again
[06:52] <marko2> macziums, how do I do that?
[06:53] <Maczimus> tell me about it....twice it happened to me but i wanted more speed and it'll let me play with things but trust me. i imaged my hard drive BEFORE the install this time :)
[06:53] <Gevaudan82> marko2: it's a livecd so it should take a while but definitly not 10 minutes...once you get into gnome, if you do, try installing to the hard drive and see if performs improves after install
[06:54] <marko2> ya, i do get into gnome, but within gnome again it literally takes like 10 minutes to go from one step of the wizard to the next
[06:54] <marko2> launching the install itself takes  very long
[06:54] <Zvezdichko> Hello, community! I'm running Kubuntu on a slow Pentium 3 machine, and I can say It's flying. Maybe this is one of the best distros I've ever installed
[06:55] <kendals> How do I get my asoundrc file to be back to default?
[06:56] <Neo8750> restore it from the backup you made?
[06:56] <Gevaudan82> marko2: sounds like a deeper issue than the graphics card and likely not attrituable to your machine's 256 mb ram and questionable performance...i've only had problems like that when i change my hostname to something weird and then gnome apps take forever to boot until restart...more specific to redhat distros but oh well
[06:57] <the1> maybe run top and see if something is hogging the cpu?
[06:57] <marko2> it's strang though, why doesn't the alternate CD work
[06:57] <the1> and if it is not something necessary for the install then killall it?
[06:57] <rendo> Gevaudan82 I followed the "perfect setup" junk and I'm still getting the same issues with mysql when trying to set the root password.... mysqladmin: connect to server at 'localhost' failederror: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'
[06:57] <james__> hello
[06:58] <tom_> How do I find the video card's bus identifier for my ati radeon 9800 pro 128mb?
[06:58] <the1> if the cd is bad you should see errors in dmesg, right?
[06:58] <JoseStefan> dont upgrade to the new flashplugin-nonfree (bug 61349)
[06:58] <Maczimus> marko when the normal cd didnt work the alt did.... not sure what your problem may be...may want to run the ram check from the cd as bad ram can cause many problems...
[06:58] <Gevaudan82> rendo: when you uninstalled did you do a complete removal not just a removal?
[06:58] <marko2> maybe it's the way my cd roms were hooked up, i've got now only 1 DVD drive and it's on the secondary, i'll give it a shot again
[06:58] <detra> Hello ... I just installed ubuntu again ... I keep adding universe and multiverse to sources.list ... but still it can't find flashplugin-nonfree in apt-get ... what should I do ...
[06:58] <rendo> Probably didn't do a complete removal, what does that entail?
[06:58] <mainer> kendals:  /var/lib/alsa/asound.state
[06:58] <marko2> macziums, the normal one worked, but went slow, the alt didn't work at all
[06:59] <Maczimus> hmmm
[06:59] <mileskeaton> If your network (between your Ubuntu box and an internal net) was going REALLY slow, what tool would you use to debug it?
[06:59] <james__> i just recently switched from windows xp to ubuntu i was a windows user for 6 years im having a issue regarding torrent speeds on ubuntu .
[06:59] <mileskeaton> I'm on a dual-boot Ubuntu laptop that just 3 days ago started going REALLY slow on all network activity.
[06:59] <mileskeaton> (Like for example: when SSH'd into a remote box, typing, what shows up on the screen lags many seconds behind what I typed.)
[06:59] <mileskeaton> When I boot into Windows, the same SSH session is flying.  So it really is my Ubuntu, not the network itself.
[06:59] <mileskeaton> Any thoughts, anyone?  I'm stumped.
[06:59] <Gevaudan82> rendo: try it...i don't know for sure but once i locked myself out of mysql and after doing a complete removal and then reinstall i was in...use mysqladmin to set a new password
[06:59] <mileskeaton> (ps aux / top doesn't show anything unusual)
[06:59] <rendo> How do I do the complete removal?
[06:59] <Gevaudan82> rendo: use synaptec
[07:00] <james__> i just recently switched from windows xp to ubuntu i was a windows user for 6 years im having a issue regarding torrent speeds on ubuntu .
[07:00] <rendo> ... And?
[07:00] <Maczimus> mileskeaton, ive heard disbling ipv6 speeds up the network....sorry cant remember where i found it, maybe on digg.com
[07:00] <Gevaudan82> rendo: right click, it's the last option...should be complete removal or total unistall or something like that
[07:00] <mutk> mileskeaton, What type of network connection are you using ?
[07:00] <Gevaudan82> rendo: referring to mysql-server btw
[07:00] <the1> mileskeaton: if you are doing multiple things on the network and interactive traffic is slow, install wondershaper.  It automatically prioritizes interactive traffic; gives you nice low latency at little cost to bandwidth
[07:01] <mileskeaton> I'm on a Cat5 connected to internal network, that has a T3 to the world.
[07:01] <mileskeaton> the1: re: wondershaper. thanks. I'll try it.
[07:01] <mutk> mileskeaton, Ok, static or DHCP assigned address?
[07:01] <mileskeaton> static IP
[07:02] <mutk> mileskeaton, Ok. One of 2 NIC's?
[07:02] <Halpo> what compiler do you guys use?
[07:02] <mutk> s/of/or
[07:02] <mileskeaton> mutk: only one GigE ethernet in this laptop. also has a wireless, but that's disabled on the hardware level.
[07:02] <Gevaudan82> Halpo: compiler for what? if talking gcc v4.0.3
[07:02] <mutk> mileskeaton, Check with ifconfig    command - See if any errors or carrier drops are occuring.
[07:03] <mileskeaton>           RX packets:2088 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
[07:03] <mileskeaton>           TX packets:2343 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
[07:03] <mileskeaton>           RX bytes:677247 (661.3 KiB)  TX bytes:277732 (271.2 KiB)
[07:03] <mutk> mileskeaton, Ok looks good
[07:03] <Halpo> does synaptic package manager install gcc when you download it (yeah the c/c++ version)
[07:03] <mutk> mileskeaton, ethtool eth0   See if it's running at Gig speeds
[07:03] <mileskeaton> mutk: thanks for your help, so far. I really appreciate it.
[07:03] <Gevaudan82> Halpo: install build-essential
[07:03] <mutk> mileskeaton, No problem :)
[07:04] <Gevaudan82> Halpo: or build-essentials i can't remember
[07:04] <mileskeaton>         Speed: 100Mb/s
[07:04] <mileskeaton>         Current message level: 0x00000007 (7)
[07:04] <mutk> mileskeaton, Right that _may_ be something to do with it. Is duplex half or full?
[07:05] <mileskeaton> full
[07:05] <mutk> mileskeaton, A GigE card should show Speed: 1000Mb/s \n        Duplex: Full
[07:05] <shinobi2> i want to be able to rdp into ubuntu, what do i need to install on ubuntu?
[07:05] <mutk> mileskeaton, Do you have a GigE router/switch at all?
[07:05] <n0dl> the1: what would i do after ifconfig up eth1? i tried sudo dhclient eth1 but it doesnt assign me an ip
[07:06] <n0dl> ive looked on the forums for my card inten pro/wireless 3945 and found something but the solution did not work
[07:06] <Gevaudan82> shinobi2: remote desktop? you already have vino...just set it up under System - Preferences - Remote Desktop
[07:06] <the1> have you tried configuring your network with system administration networking/

[07:07] <feAR`> hi
[07:07] <feAR`> maybe someone uses nvdia with tv-out? :)

[07:08] <cess> amicrawle, dpkg -i
[07:08] <amicrawle> i did a dkpg -i
[07:08] <feAR`> ;]
[07:08] <Gevaudan82> amicrawle: did you do so as root or sudo
[07:08] <amicrawle> that's all
[07:08] <amicrawle> sudo
[07:08] <feAR`> :)
[07:08] <the1> n0dl: so you aren't running X?
[07:08] <marko2> live cd seems to be going faster now with the way i've setup my dvd rom
[07:08] <cess> what do i need to install for a intel core duo t2300?
[07:08] <marko2> question, will there be an option during install tha allows me to format the drive?
[07:08] <mileskeaton> mutk: we do have GigE switch, but only 100baseT/Full out to the world, of course.
[07:08] <Maczimus> marko yes
[07:08] <n0dl> the1: no
[07:08] <Gevaudan82> amicrawle: could be a bad package or you are messing up the path of the .deb file...that's the command no doubt
[07:08] <feAR`> guys, maybe somebody uses nvidia tvout?
[07:08] <james__> i just recently switched from windows xp to ubuntu i was a windows user for 6 years im having a issue regarding torrent speeds on ubuntu .
[07:09] <marko2> thanks
[07:09] <Maczimus> whole drive or it will also partition if u wish
[07:09] <mileskeaton> mutk: but this same physical cat5 cable + 100baseT/Full switch is lightning fast in Windows, and was lighting fast in Ubunutu up until 3 days ago.
[07:09] <Commander-Crowe> hey I can't op in my channel cuz it says I need to be lvl 10
[07:09] <Commander-Crowe> help?
[07:09] <daurnimator> Commander-Crowe: become level 10?
[07:09] <mileskeaton> mutk: I have the feeling that something on the Ubuntu level is iterfering with the network activity, but I can't see what it might be.
[07:09] <Maczimus> ha ha
[07:09] <Commander-Crowe> how?
[07:10] <the1> n0dl:I think your iwconfig output shows that your cards driver is correctly installed, you can do modprobe -l to check for sure.  It think you should be able to configure your card just like you would any network interface.
[07:10] <the1> *I
[07:10] <tom_> How do I open files on a windows network through audacity?
[07:10] <mutk> mileskeaton, Yes I agree, there is something - But doing what we have done so far is logical..
[07:10] <Gevaudan82> tom_ mount the windows folder or network
[07:10] <tom_> thanks
[07:11] <Maczimus> nodl you may try installing Gnome Network Manager, i had to to get my wireless card to show the ssids and such
[07:11] <detra> nobody wanna answer me ?
[07:12] <mutk> mileskeaton, The thing is that the GiGE interface in Linux , if connected to a GigE switch, _should_ auto-neg to 1000/Full if it is working properly. The gateway to the rest of the internet is not important..
[07:12] <shinobi2> Gevaudan82: vino? i have to check it out later, i need to rdp into ubuntu from another OS.
[07:12] <shinobi2> thx
[07:12] <Maczimus> dont see what you asked detra
[07:12] <detra> Hello ... I just installed ubuntu again ... I keep adding universe and multiverse to sources.list ... but still it can't find flashplugin-nonfree in apt-get ... what should I do ...
[07:12] <mileskeaton> mutk: I'm not on the GigE switch directly. Plugged through a 10/100 hub inbetween. That's why it only sees it as 100.
[07:13] <mutk> mileskeaton, Ah ok. Good.
[07:13] <Maczimus> you can try automatix or easy ubuntu detra
[07:13] <abhinay> how to install/recover GRUB for SATA hard disk ?
[07:13] <Flannel> detra: sudo apt-get update
[07:13] <mutk> mileskeaton, What gateway /route out are you using ?
[07:13] <Gevaudan82> detra: vino works great but just one caveat you have to be logged in ubuntu for it to work...you'll get the exact desktop your logged in ubuntu session has...use vncserver4 if you want individual sessions for each login but i've found this creates more problems than it is worth in terms of application profile errors, namely in firefox
[07:13] <detra> Maczimus, explain
[07:13] <detra> Flannel, I did that ...
[07:13] <Flannel> detra: pastebin your sources.list please
[07:14] <Gevaudan82> err, that should have been for shinobi2
[07:14] <detra> Flannel, pastebin ?
[07:14] <Flannel> !paste
[07:14] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)

[07:14] <azureal> hi, how do i change my gdm theme?  (through terminal please...and changing the GtkTheme= line in /etc/gdm/gdm.conf  did not seem to work)
[07:14] <Maczimus> there are two "script" packages for ubuntu that install codecs and other restricted software automatically. i have never had problems with automatix go to getautomatix.com i believe to install/check it out
[07:14] <detra> !paste /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about paste /etc/apt/sources.list - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:15] <Flannel> Maczimus: Don't recommend automatix.
[07:15] <Flannel> detra: You'll need to open it in an editor, go to that website, copy/paste

[07:15] <JNeverMind> hi
[07:15] <Maczimus> sorry flannel im still a newb at this but have never had problems with it....
[07:16] <Flannel> tom_: use forward slashes
[07:16] <JNeverMind> ive installed ubuntu server LAMP install a couple of times now, but after 1st reboot, theres nothing
[07:16] <Flannel> Maczimus: Plenty of people have.
[07:16] <Flannel> JNeverMind: nothing?
[07:16] <JNeverMind> pc cant find boot
[07:16] <Flannel> JNeverMind: so, you've got a grub issue? or is it paste grub?
[07:16] <Gevaudan82> JNeverMind: i'm not a LAMP person, but are you trying to access it from something other than localhost? firewall issue maybe?
[07:16] <Flannel> past even
[07:16] <mutk> mileskeaton, Is that the same gateway Windows uses?
[07:17] <tom_> Flannel, it doesn't believe that that location exists...
[07:17] <JNeverMind> install goes just fine.  i add 1 swap, and 1 reiserf at / bootable
[07:17] <mileskeaton> mutk: yep.
[07:17] <JNeverMind> install says completed successfully
[07:17] <geser> azureal: search for GraphicalTheme in the gdm.conf
[07:17] <JNeverMind> but i dont think its finding the boot files for some reason ??
[07:17] <Flannel> tom_: what? you need a protocol
[07:17] <detra> !paste http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24068
[07:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about paste http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/24068 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:17] <Flannel> detra: thanks, just the url, but I got it ;)
[07:17] <JNeverMind> ive installed slack w/lilo and ubuntu desktop many times without probs
[07:18] <Num43> Hi guys:) where can I download ubuntu from?
[07:18] <detra> oh ok
[07:18] <Flannel> Num43: ubuntu.com/download
[07:18] <tom_> Flannel, I'm trying to learn as I go along... what do I google? 'network mounting protocol on ubuntu'?
[07:18] <Num43> somehow...i should have sen that
[07:18] <Num43> seen*
[07:18] <Flannel> tom_: well, what protocol are you using to access it? samba?
[07:18] <Gevaudan82> Num43: that's the worst question i've ever read here in all honesty
[07:18] <azureal> geser, ah, thx-- should i change GtkTheme and GraphicalTheme lines?
[07:18] <tom_> I'm not using any protocol that I'm aware of
[07:18] <mutk> mileskeaton, Hmm. Ok In a terminal do 'wget http://url.to.a.mirror/path/to/a/biggish/file     Substitute a URL to a a bigish file. See if it's an SSH problem.
[07:18] <Num43> It had more to it
[07:18] <JNeverMind> it doesnt even get to grub
[07:18] <Num43> But I hit the Enter key:P
[07:19] <Flannel> tom_: how are you sharing the files?
[07:19] <tom_> The files are shared on a windows computer, I can see them through ubuntu, but mounting them doesn't work
[07:19] <Flannel> detra: alright, so, this is your sources.list, right?  not you currently editing and stuff?
[07:19] <Flannel> tom_: how do you see them in ubuntu?
[07:19] <detra> Flannel, That's my sources.list ...
[07:19] <geser> azureal: changing GraphicalTheme only is enough
[07:19] <Gevaudan82> detra: just use this and you will have no problem:  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_add_extra_repositories
[07:20] <tom_> I go to network servers and it's shown there
[07:20] <Flannel> Gevaudan82: no, he won't.  He's already done that.
[07:20] <Flannel> detra: go to a terminal, type sudo apt-get update, you get any errors or anything?
[07:20] <Rizla420> hellow everybody its Dr. Nick!
[07:20] <Rizla420> j/k, anyone have some free time they could give me some pointers
[07:20] <detra> Flannel, No errors ...
[07:21] <the1> aren't the smb shares shown in gnomes network shares mounted?
[07:21] <Gevaudan82> Rizla420: paste your question
[07:21] <Flannel> detra: alright, and then apt-cache search flashplugin doesn't show it at all?
[07:21] <Rizla420> i have my ubuntu setup perfectly right now (after much trial and error being a boob and all)
[07:21] <RedGhost> If any of you have laptop experience with Ubuntu, I would appreciate your suggestions: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=261257
[07:21] <Rizla420> but as it turns out I have a problem with my WinXp partition
[07:21] <marko2> ok, install in safe graphics mode is going a lot smoother :)
[07:21] <Gevaudan82> Rizla420: i too went through the being a boob stage
[07:21] <Rizla420> who would thunk it right?!
[07:21] <Flannel> !tell tom_ about samba
[07:22] <Flannel> tom_: read the link ubotu sent you
[07:22] <tom_> cheers mate, will do
[07:22] <carthik> Is it possible to edit the tags of mp3 files using rhythmbox?
[07:22] <detra> Flannel, Then is just shows > and nothing else ...
[07:22] <withayanda> anyone have know much about wpa_supplicant?
[07:22] <Gevaudan82> Rizla420: not sure your problem but you can always install gtparted or use fdisk for modifications to the partition
[07:22] <Rizla420> so the low down is that my windows partition is riddled with viruses cuz i like to download *cough* "free" programs
[07:22] <Flannel> detra: >?
[07:22] <detra> Flannel, yeah
[07:22] <Rizla420> so i naturally want to wipe it out and do a fresh install
[07:23] <Flannel> detra: where are you currently?
[07:23] <Rizla420> but im afraid that i'm going to kill grub in the process when winxp trys to rewrite the MBR
[07:23] <Flannel> Rizla420: yep, but you can fix i
[07:23] <Rizla420> whats my best plan of attack
[07:23] <Flannel> !tell Rizla420 about grub
[07:23] <JNeverMind> is there a way to write grub to mbr from the ubuntu-server 606 cd ?
[07:23] <Flannel> that first link, aptly named ;)
[07:23] <detra> Flannel, detra@detra-Ubuntu:~$
[07:24] <Flannel> detra: and then apt-cache search flashplugin and it gives you >?
[07:24] <Rizla420> wow, you guys have a freakin script to point boobs (noobs) like me to for help
[07:24] <Flannel> JNeverMind: server?  I believe so.
[07:24] <Rizla420> now that is first class service :)
[07:24] <detra> Flannel, nothing
[07:24] <mileskeaton> mutk: 642.00K/s !
[07:24] <mileskeaton> mutk: nice fast connection
[07:24] <mileskeaton> mutk: seems to be some kinda latency
[07:24] <rubyphyte> how much memory should the ubuntu server use?
[07:25] <Flannel> detra: ah, so it runs, but doesn't find anything.  And, you're sure you have no errors with the update?
[07:25] <JNeverMind> ive already installed 3-4 times, and it then pc says 'cant find boot record'
[07:25] <detra> Flannel, I tried again ... and it just did nothing and then back to write ...
[07:25] <Flannel> detra: back to write?
[07:25] <detra> Flannel, yeah no errors ...
[07:25] <mutk> mileskeaton, Ok cool, so it _looks_ like it's just SSH that has the problem..
[07:25] <detra> Flannel, Yeah detra@detra-Ubuntu:~$
[07:25] <Flannel> JNeverMind: try grabbing the 'grub superdisk'  from the first link here : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows
[07:26] <rubyphyte> it seems to be using 380M of mem and 570M of swap, and I haven't installed anything but ruby on rails since clean installing it
[07:26] <mutk> mileskeaton, Almost certainly a latency problem. Perhaps the Windows box set's up QoS on it's TCP connections..
[07:26] <james__> can anyone tell me why im having slow torrent speeds
[07:26] <azureal> detra usually it gives you > if a command is incomplete
[07:26] <mutk> mileskeaton, Do you know if your network has a QoS policy in place for network traffic?
[07:26] <mileskeaton> mutk: good point. i'll look into the SSH issue.
[07:26] <Rizla420> totally retarded question.  Flannel since yo pointed me to the guide, its saying that i need the alternate cd.  I just recieved a crapload of disks from Ubuntu via the mail, but none of them is marked explicitly stating which is which
[07:26] <mileskeaton> mutk: thanks again.
[07:26] <azureal> detra like if you just type '
[07:26] <detra> ok
[07:27] <Gevaudan82> james__: thousands of factors including the individual torrent/site you are downloading from...you've determined it is just w/ ubuntu?
[07:27] <Flannel> Rizla420: they're all 'desktop' right?  the liveCD?  Read that part, the LiveCD/Desktop not the alternate/install
[07:27] <mutk> mileskeaton, No problem. We go somewhere in the end. With little guess work :)
[07:27] <james__> yes it is just with ubuntu
[07:27] <james__> ive used windows for 6 years just switched
[07:27] <Gevaudan82> james__: what is the discrepency? meaning you get X kbps in windows and X kbps in ubuntu?
[07:28] <Rizla420> i believe they're all live cd's, but i cant tell since they all look exactly the same (im def going to hand them out at work, i've been praising ubuntu for the past 2 weeks since i installed it)
[07:28] <james__> in windows i get around 110 kb/s in ubuntu im getting 10kb/s
[07:28] <Rizla420> spread the word
[07:28] <Rizla420> or die like turd
[07:28] <JNeverMind> thx flannel
[07:28] <Rizla420> haha, hmm.. booze and computers dont mix
[07:28] <Gevaudan82> james__: what are your other downloads like? and what bt client are you using?
[07:29] <Num43> I'm too much of a gaming addict to give up XP
[07:29] <Gevaudan82> james__: by other downloads meaning downloads via http, ftp, etc
[07:29] <james__> ive try bittornado / azureues / kttorrent or smth
[07:29] <azureal> james__, likely there are many possible causes, as Gevaudan82 said --  client, site, peer:seed
[07:29] <james__> my other downloads are fine about 110kb
[07:29] <azureal> firewall..
[07:29] <the1> Num43: You've been to http://www.tuxgames.com/, right/
[07:29] <james__> yes gev downloads via http
[07:29] <Num43> nope
[07:30] <james__> im i think the problem lies in ubuntu somewhere
[07:30] <Num43> Now I am
[07:30] <Gevaudan82> james__: i don't think this is anything specific to ubuntu...i don't mean to doubt you but try a number of different peers and see if you cap out at 10kbps in all cases
[07:30] <Rizla420> flannel, sorry to other you, you seem to be pulled in different directions.  IM looing over the link
[07:30] <james__> the same torrent in windows ( i have dual boot ) downloads fine
[07:30] <azureal> james__, it can not lie in "ubuntu"
[07:31] <Gevaudan82> james__: i say that because I download at 500kbps which is my cap w/ no problem usign the regular old bit torrent client included w/ ubuntu by default
[07:31] <carthik> Sorry to repeat myself, but: Is it possible to edit the tags of mp3 files using rhythmbox?
[07:31] <Flannel> Rizla420: what?
[07:31] <Rizla420> i've got my setup with /dev/hda2 as my root and /dev/hda5 as my "/home"
[07:31] <Rizla420> which should i install grub on?
[07:31] <azureal> james__, did you choose some kind of super-security when installing ubuntu, or perhaps installed a firewall for ubuntu?
[07:31] <james__> no
[07:31] <Gevaudan82> carthik: no clue, might want to try http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_install_ID3_Tag_Editor_.28EasyTAG.29
[07:31] <Rizla420> typo, HDS2
[07:31] <james__> i just did the stock
[07:32] <Rizla420> crap
[07:32] <james__> thing
[07:32] <Rizla420> HDA2
[07:32] <Flannel> Rizla420: install it to your MBR
[07:32] <zoidberg> hey guys i have a question
[07:32] <azureal> "the stock thing" ?
[07:32] <nightshade> who has java runtime environment on the linux
[07:32] <Flannel> !tell nightshade about java
[07:32] <james__> whatever it installs stock
[07:32] <james__> from the cd
[07:32] <Gevaudan82> nightshade: everyone pretty much
[07:32] <azureal> everyone
[07:32] <carthik> Gevaudan82, okay - thank you, I was wondering if there was a plugin or something to enable tag editing in rhythmbox - seems not :)
[07:33] <zoidberg> my college apparently has a UPX or UPN or something like that protocol so kids with linux can acces their college drives....do u guys know how to use this protocol
[07:33] <zoidberg> ?
[07:33] <Madpilot> carthik, use EasyTag
[07:33] <azureal> james__, is it possible you have an outdated version of bt?
[07:33] <zoidberg> its something like UPX or UPN mount or something
[07:33] <nightshade> i need help i cant seem to make a symbolic link to the java plug-in for the mozilla browser
[07:33] <james__> dont think so
[07:33] <Madpilot> zoidberg, VPN?
[07:34] <carthik> Madpilot, yes, but that won't help me edit the tags from within rhythmbox, right?
[07:34] <Gevaudan82> nightshade: no need, apt-get has the java plugin already
[07:34] <Flannel> nightshade: you're on Breezy? with FF1.5 installed?
[07:34] <Madpilot> carthik, no, but EasyTag is designed to edit id3 tags
[07:34] <zoidberg> Madpilot: can you mount VPN like an ssh folder almost?
[07:34] <nightshade> iam using the linux instrutions off the java site
[07:34] <Flannel> nightshade: you don't need to.
[07:34] <Madpilot> zoidberg, I'm not sure, tbh
[07:34] <Flannel> nightshade: that's what package maangement is for, read the link ubotu sent you
[07:35] <wastrel> ubunto
[07:35] <gene> use automatix to do it niteshade
[07:35] <carthik> Madpilot, of course, I already use easy tag. Today I was listening to a song, and found taht the artist was wrong, and wanted to fix it right then in Rhythmbox, which is why I asked. Thanks for your help.
[07:35] <Flannel> no.  nightshade, don't.
[07:35] <Gevaudan82> nightshade: assuming your extra repos are setup sudo install sun-java5-plugin
[07:35] <Flannel> gene, don't recommend automatix here.
[07:35] <Madpilot> gene, please don't recommend that thing.
[07:35] <daurnimator> whooping dog (zoidberg): i remember seeing SOMETHING to let you do that
[07:36] <azureal> nightshade, are you sudo/root?  you need to be for symbolic links in /
[07:36] <azureal> (to create anything in /)
[07:36] <Flannel> azureal: he doesn't need to make symbolic links at all
[07:36] <nightshade> ya iam su
[07:36] <gene> works great for me
[07:36] <Flannel> nightshade: read the link ubotu sent you
[07:36] <Flannel> !worksforme
[07:36] <ubotu> Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[07:36] <azureal> oh, he doesnt? oh well
[07:36] <Gevaudan82> nightshade: no need to create a symbolic link for the mozzila plugin...use synaptec
[07:36] <Ryan_> is there a way to change my screen resolution a installed kubuntu from a ubuntu live CD
[07:37] <tom_> whats the command to open/edit my /etc/fstab file again?
[07:37] <Flannel> Ryan_: mount the partition and edit the Xorg config
[07:37] <Gevaudan82> tom_: sudo vim /etc/fstab
[07:37] <tom_> thanks
[07:37] <Flannel> tom_: or use nano
[07:38] <Rizla420> Random Q, im trying to log into freenode from Mirc on my win box, but i keep getting disconnected
[07:38] <Gevaudan82> tom_: you'll have to use one or the other command line editors at some point so you might as well get used to them
[07:38] <Rizla420> irc.freenode.net
[07:38] <azureal> Flannel: in my /usr/lib/firefox/plugins i do have a libjavaplugin_oji.so, so i think a symbolic link is indeed needed
[07:38] <Flannel> azureal: Right, but the package manager takes care of it.
[07:39] <azureal> package manager? how do you know he didnt install the binary w/ ./<binary>
[07:39] <Flannel> azureal: He's trying to, because he didn't know of the existance of the one in the repositories.  Which is what we're trying to inform him of.
[07:39] <azureal> lol.. you should just tell him how to finish what he started =P
[07:40] <Rizzla420> alright i got in
[07:40] <azureal> Flannel, which is pretty much one command
[07:40] <Rizzla420> so now im on both my system... time to reinstall meanwhile staying logged in in case i run into any issues
[07:40] <Flannel> azureal: no, because that just creates more headaches for support down the road
[07:40] <Gevaudan82> ^
[07:41] <Rizzla420> flannel, whats the link to the grub info again
[07:41] <JNeverMind> grubsuperdisk cant seem to write to mbr
[07:41] <Gevaudan82> half the shit i used to do and probally still do was half ass...you learn through experience and other people's insight
[07:41] <Flannel> !tell Rizzla420 about grub
[07:41] <azureal> Gevaudan82, you are having headaches w/ JRE?
[07:41] <JNeverMind> i have a an old lappy hd in my pc
[07:41] <Rizzla420> thanks bud
[07:41] <azureal> i can't seem to imagine that happening to me...
[07:42] <azureal> i did have my headaches, but they were about plugins in general... flash/realplayer/quicktime/wmp
[07:42] <Gevaudan82> azureal: not me...it's a cakewalk in ubuntu to install...the ubuntu wiki documents it perfectly and all that is left to do is install the plugin
[07:43] <azureal> how are you supposed to learn anything if you just api (my alias for apt-get install)
[07:43] <Flannel> azureal: #ubuntu-offtopic and I'll be happy to talk about it ;)
[07:43] <Gevaudan82> not everything exists in synaptec...you learn through use and extended use at that
[07:44] <zoidberg> daurnimator: do u remember what it was?
[07:45] <JNeverMind> will the the lamp server install fit on 2gb or 3 gb hd ?
[07:45] <Gevaudan82> JNeverMind: both
[07:45] <Rizzla420> flannel, it seems like from my brief stay here you seem to tbe the grand puba in this channel
[07:45] <Rizzla420> resident tech support?
[07:46] <Flannel> Rizzla420: hardly
[07:47] <Gevaudan82> JNeverMind: but i tend to stay clear from lamp...makes it more difficult in my opinion to integrate with J2ee web containers down the road and create SSL certificates...try searching "ubuntu perfect install" in google...that should get you setup
[07:47] <Bom> what is the best way to test my ATI card is working?
[07:47] <Rizzla420> kudos on lending a hand to the gaggle of people vieing for help
[07:47] <wastrel> Bom:  glxinfo| grep render
[07:47] <Gevaudan82> Bom: search the ubuntu wiki
[07:48] <Rizzla420> your like a person who volunteers at soup kitchens, except the noobs are your bums and your knowledge is the soup :P
[07:48] <Bom> glxinfo| grep render
[07:48] <Rizzla420> -ha
[07:48] <Bom> direct rendering: Yes
[07:48] <Bom>     GLX_ATI_render_texture
[07:48] <Bom> OpenGL renderer string: RADEON 9550 Generic
[07:48] <Flannel> Rizzla420: there's plenty of us, I jsut seem to be one of the few active at the moment.  hardly extraordinary ;)
[07:48] <wastrel> Bom:  it's working
[07:48] <Bom> thanks
[07:48] <Rizzla420> your keep us fed
[07:49] <Rizzla420> i'll probably be coming for a second helping soon, im in the process of reinstalling windows so my MBR is in soon to be wiped
[07:49] <Bom> I dont like Windows
[07:49] <Bom> Vista nees 1gig of ram. that's not the real world.
[07:49] <Gevaudan82> they each have their purpose
[07:50] <SurfnKid> hi
[07:50] <JNeverMind> ive used win since 311 and im steering clear of vista for sure
[07:50] <SurfnKid> has anyone been able to successfully install the TrueMobile Bluetooth 350 model chip to a Dell Laptop on Linux?
[07:51] <Gevaudan82> Bom: rc-1 isn't bad, i've tested it...most of the problems users experience is in a lack of knowledge in configuring windows and the fact that everything is by default turned "on" in windows
[07:51] <Kewlb> windows is not that bad
[07:51] <sess> I need some help with my cpu scaling.  I have powernowd running, and my kernle is built correctly.  My cpuinfo_max_freq and scaling_max_freq don't match, and I can't keep scaling_max_freq set to the correct 1800 mhz.  In fact I can't set it anymore at all
[07:51] <ChrisBradley> Holy crap - 808 nicks
[07:51] <Kewlb> win2k3 and Cisco keep me employed
[07:51] <SurfnKid> !bluetooth
[07:51] <ubotu> For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup
[07:52] <SurfnKid> Kewlb, cisco keeps me employed :)
[07:52] <sess> anyone know anything about cpu scaling?
[07:52] <BTJustice> What is the latest Ubuntu Live CD version?
[07:52] <Kewlb> me too
[07:52] <Gevaudan82> BTJustice: 6.06
[07:52] <Kewlb> working on my 2nd CCIE as we speak.
[07:52] <Flannel> BTJustice: 6.06.1
[07:52] <Halpo> where do i get different themes from?
[07:52] <Kewlb> but if I have to reload unity one more time I am gonna throw this damn MCS server out the window.
[07:52] <BTJustice> Where can you download the 6.06 Live CD at?  I go to Ubuntu's website and I cannot find it.
[07:53] <epiloc> on the corporate scale: the number of windows servers has far outgrown the number of linux or *nix based servers.
[07:53] <Bom> Gevaudan82 true...I just prefer Ubuntu cuz it's free.   I don;t think it supports serial drives.
[07:53] <BTJustice> SATA
[07:54] <Flannel> SurfnKid: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportMachinesLaptopsDell  might be of some help... You'd have to crossreference card numbers
[07:54] <Madpilot> BTJustice, it should - I ran both Hoary & Breezy off a SATA drive - my only HDD is SATA
