[15:58] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: you probably need   apt-get install libglib2.0-dev
[15:58] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, gotcha
[15:58] <slapstics-12> is anyone familiar with fuppes server here? Im having some problems with my ps3 not being able to detect it as a media server. I can get the fuppes web interface up so i think I got it generally setup right, but I believe the problem is coming from me not configuring with multicast file right on this tutorial (http://www.howtoforge.com/set-up-a-linux-playstation-3-media-server-with-ubuntu8.04) I dunno if the <IP_ADDRESS>/8 is a

[15:58] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, thx
[15:58] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: you're welcome
[15:58] <tdn> How do I rip a DVD in Ubuntu?
[15:59] <Orange_> hi
[15:59] <hischild> !find mc
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> kiwi_ Did you add repos/sources manually?
[15:59] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Okay, according to this, the binary drivers shipping with nvidia do *support* your card. So what you need to do is, restart your system, and then check System -> Admin -> H/W. We want to get the binary drivers. Can you do that?
[15:59] <hspaans> korcan: is extra people need to be able to run commands under root then just put them in the group "admin"
[15:59] <onats> hello all, is anyone encountering video flickering on ubuntu 8.10?
[15:59] <Orange_> hi
[15:59] <kiwi_> Jack_Sparrow, no, i didnt
[15:59] <thebloggu> tiyowan, yes
[15:59] <korcan> hspaans, thanks :)
[15:59] <korcan> got it
[15:59] <hwilde> !find mc hardy
[15:59] <hischild> Jack_Sparrow, it's in the normal repo's, but it's called mc
[15:59] <hwilde> I don't want *mc* just package mc
[15:59] <hwilde> !info mc
[15:59] <hspaans> onats: closed source ati driver?
[15:59] <Jack_Sparrow> !info mc
[15:59] <hwilde> voila
[16:00] <kiwi_> Jack_Sparrow, mc is a package in aptitude but not in synaptic
[16:00] <hwilde> kiwi_, anyways it is in my synaptic
[16:00] <onats> hspaans
[16:00] <onats> yeah
[16:00] <kiwi_> just an example
[16:00] <hwilde> kiwi_, hit reload in your synaptic then search again
[16:00] <onats> well i just found out how to fix it
[16:00] <kiwi_> hwilde, ok, search what? ┬Ęmc┬Ę?
[16:01] <Jack_Sparrow> kiwi_ it shows up in synaptic for me
[16:01] <hspaans> onats: but yes more people have it
[16:01] <onats> hspaans, fyi, just set vlc player video output to X11. reference here: http://sarp.erdag.org/index.php/2008/12/solved-video-flickering-on-ubuntu-810-with-ati-graphics-card-using-compiz/
[16:02] <kiwi_> hwilde, sorry, ahem, how do i reload synaptic?
[16:02] <alexmax> I just installed a qt4 program, and I'm not using the default gtk theme.  However the qt4 program looks almost native and not out of place.  Why is this?
[16:02] <hwilde> kiwi_, search midnight it shows up... commander it shows up.... search name mc and it shows up... it's in synaptic
[16:02] <hspaans> onats: I have ati without flickering and to honest, vlc is a piece of *bliep*
[16:02] <alexmax> what does ubuntu use for making qt4 apps look like the gnome theme?
[16:02] <onetinsoldier> kiwi_: there is a big button on the left that says 'reload'
[16:02] <tiyowan> kiwi_: mc's there in synaptic.
[16:03] <hwilde> alexmax, try installing gtk-qt-engine
[16:03] <hwilde> !info gtk-qt-engine | alexmax
[16:03] <sacamano> Hi. So I have an old pc laying around, and I want to convert it into like a media center to hook up to my TV. I plan to hook it up via S-video and a standard audio cable. I'm not too interested in fancy features, like HD, or tv-recording (I'm not hooking it up to a TV tuner card) I just want to be able to play movies, music.....maybe browse the internet in a fairly simple menu format. What do you all recommend?
[16:03] <tiyowan> hspaans: Someday you've got to help me get rid of this flickering with my ATI card.
[16:03] <alexmax> hwilde: No, it already works, I'm wondering what ubuntu uses to get that effect
[16:03] <onetinsoldier> kiwi_: err, it may not exactly be on the left.. but more like up top
[16:03] <kiwi_> hwilde etc sorry guys, mybe thats my mistake, but this graphical installer that comes default with gnome, thats synaptic, right? sorry.
[16:03] <Gnea> tiyowan: which ati card?
[16:03] <thebloggu> tiyowan, done
[16:03] <alexmax> It doesnt use gtk-qt-engine
[16:03] <alexmax> yet it still looks like my theme
[16:04] <mogra> does the Intel chipset work fine in 8.10? including Intel X3100 graphics?
[16:04] <onats> hspaans, what do you use to play videos?
[16:04] <alexmax> its just curiosity, really
[16:04] <Gnea> kiwi_: synaptic is a GUI package management program
[16:04] <hwilde> kiwi_,   System -> Admin -> Synaptic
[16:04] <hspaans> onats: gstreamer or mplayer
[16:04] <tiyowan> Gnea: X1400 Mobility. It's the only issue left with my system. Everything else has been tweaked to perfection.
[16:04] <Gnea> tiyowan: which laptop make/model?
[16:05] <onetinsoldier> kiwi_: the answer to your question is, yes
[16:05] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Okay, did the nvidia drivers show up in H/W drivers?
[16:05] <tiyowan> Gnea: Dell Inspiron 6400
[16:05] <Gnea> !laptop
[16:05] <tiyowan> Gnea: er 9400.
[16:05]  * Gnea checks
[16:05] <torero> !ru
[16:05] <kiwi_> hwilde, actually ißŞ┐ talking about this ┬Ę├ídd/remove applications┬┤ thing
[16:05] <thebloggu> tiyowan, yes, because uninstallign envy dont seem to uninstall the drivers, so it is in use
[16:05] <tiyowan> Gnea: Tried that already. Apparently it's a known bug.
[16:06] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Hmmm....it's still using the envy drivers?
[16:07] <thebloggu> tiyowan, i think so
[16:07] <Gnea> tiyowan: hrm, according to this: http://www.islabinaria.com/samu/ubuntu/ubuntu-vs-windows-on-dell-inspiron.html  it should work just fine... but it's pretty vague
[16:07] <_Zeus_> Anyone know how to fix this? sox formats: no handler for detected file type `audio/mpeg'
[16:07] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Wait one.
[16:09] <jpjacobs> I'm having problems typing in java apps (like matlab and freemind): after a while, the program stops accepting input from the keyboard. Does anyone know how to solve this?
[16:09] <tiyowan> Gnea: Thanks for the link.
[16:09] <kiwi_> hwilde etc. sorry, i was not using synaptic but something else called add/remove applications. synaptic indeed shows the mc. so everything is fine and i will stick to aptitude in future.
[16:09] <onetinsoldier> skipper027: hello... is flash working for you yet?
[16:11] <onetinsoldier> kiwi_: so many package managers.. so little time
[16:11] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Did you try deactivating them and and rebooting? I'm doing some digging.
[16:11] <thebloggu> tiyowan, ok i'll do that
[16:12] <mogra> synaptic is not a package manager, technically it's a front-end
[16:12] <jonjoe> hey can anyone help me put ibex on a usb so i can use it as a boot disk to install it onto a coputer
[16:12] <thebloggu> tiyowan, btw, do you think 8.04.1 LTS may have better support ? since i had some problems with the kernel too in 8.10
[16:12] <Koordin> hi, i have an annoying problem, every 5 minutes i have to write 'sudo dhclient' in order to reconnect
[16:12] <hwilde> kiwi_, aptitude and synaptic are basically the same thing tho.
[16:12] <kiwi_> onetinsoldier,synaptic doesnt look too bad. what do you think. aptitude or synaptic? :-)
[16:12] <Koordin> (on windows i have no problem keeping a connection longer)
[16:12] <jonjoe> hey can anyone help me put ibex on a usb so i can use it as a boot disk to install it onto a coputer
[16:12] <onetinsoldier> apt-get, aptitude, synaptic, dpkg, add/remove programs... lol
[16:12] <bakermd> Anyone have experience installing Ubuntu on a CF card?  I have an IDE to CF card adapter, and a 4GB CF Card.  Install shows all kinds of errors... not sure what to tell from it
[16:13] <mogra> if my vote counts, I vote aptitude
[16:13] <hwilde> kiwi_, synaptic is whate veryone else uses
[16:13] <hspaans> kiwi_: what is wrong with dselect?
[16:13] <jonjoe> hey can anyone help me put ibex on a usb so i can use it as a boot disk to install it onto a coputer
[16:13] <bakermd> DRDY ERR / ICRC ABRT
[16:13] <hwilde> bakermd, what kind of cf card is it
[16:13] <bakermd> SanDisk Extreme III
[16:13] <tiyowan> thebloggu: I think so, I've checked the ubuntu site, and the 8.10 *definitely* supports your card. What I want us to do is to get rid of that envy stuff, install the proprietary drivers from nvidia, then try to modify xorg.conf if need be.
[16:13] <mogra> hwilde: if we all used what everyone was using, we'd be using Windows, now wouldn't we? :D
[16:13] <Gnea> tiyowan: well, this one isn't ubuntu, but the author gives a process that should work in ubuntu: http://james.jamesandkristin.net/install-gentoo-linux-on-a-dell-inspiron-e1705
[16:13] <bakermd> 200x card - 30 MB/sec
[16:13] <bakermd> 4GB
[16:14] <thebloggu> tiyowan, ok
[16:14] <jonjoe> hey can anyone help me put ibex on a usb so i can use it as a boot disk to install it onto a coputer
[16:14] <kiwi_> hwilde, ok, i go with that one. finally. point.
[16:14] <bakermd> I have it set to 5V mode
[16:14] <onetinsoldier> kiwi_: aptitude. it has a btter tracking system, and smarter dependency solving, supposedly. it tracks whether a package was auto-installed to solve a dependency
[16:14] <onetinsoldier> better*
[16:14] <kiwi_> onetinsoldier, hmmmm, in that case ...
[16:14] <axisys> what is the right way to change my hostname. i want it to stick followed by reboot as well
[16:14] <FrozenPY> Hello, i cant boot the installation of Ubuntu, i've tried downloading 8.04 and 8.10, the BIOS is configured to boot from the CD/Room, when it tries to boot it says (Press ESC to boot from CD), press ESC and nothing happends, i see the XP windows.. i tried booting from USB, but i get the same error, and i changed the CD/Room and the same, any help?
[16:15] <jonjoe> hey can anyone help me put ibex on a usb so i can use it as a boot disk to install it onto a coputer
[16:15] <Jack_Sparrow> !install > jonjoe
[16:15] <mogra> aptitude also _is_ the package manager, rather than just being a front-end
[16:15] <axisys> just change is /etc/hosts file and reboot?
[16:15] <hspaans> jonjoe: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/ch04s03.html.en <-- this can also work for ubuntu
[16:15] <Koordin> hi, i have an annoying problem, every minute i have to write 'sudo dhclient' in order to reconnect
[16:15] <thebloggu> tiyowan, done, restarted x and now seems using vesa (or at least not using the envy one :P )
[16:15] <bakermd> Koordin: You could cron it...
[16:15] <ryan___> quit
[16:16] <Jack_Sparrow> tiyowan Are you trying to install on a dell laptop
[16:16] <Koordin> bakermd: or i could try and fix the problem
[16:16] <nightrid3r> FrozenPY check the cd in windowsxp if it has only one file on it you made an error burning it. you should burn it as an image to work
[16:16] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Okay, go to H/W drivers again. Remember we want the prop. drivers.
[16:16] <hwilde> onetinsoldier, I like the batter tracking system.  it leads me to a lot of cookies
[16:16] <bakermd> Koordin: Sorry, was being sarcastic.  Are there entries in /var/log/messages when the problem occurs?
[16:16] <Koordin> bakermd: :)
[16:17] <Milos_SD> I can't install lexmark z2320 driver on AMD machine... here is the error: Lua error detected: While parsing install.lua: config/run.lua:1047: attempt to concatenate local 'cpu_speed' (a nil value)  .... is there a way to fix this?
[16:17] <tiyowan> Jack_Sparrow: Well, I've got intrepid on an inspiron 9400; x1400 mobility radeon. The only issue I had left is flickering video. When I switch to metacity, it works.
[16:17] <thebloggu> tiyowan, ok, straange, a lot.. before envy if i went to restricted drivers nothing appeared. now after uninstalling and deactivating it does appear and i may activate it..
[16:17] <onetinsoldier> hwilde: hehe, i gave my baby a cookie, he said,   tanks for ebby ting
[16:17] <stareux> \me dsq
[16:17] <stareux> \ qsd
[16:17] <FrozenPY> nightrid3r: i know, its good. when i start window i can even see the Autorun MSG from the cd
[16:17]  * stareux qsd
[16:17] <thebloggu> tiyowan, should i, or restart ?
[16:17] <ikonia> stareux please stop
[16:18] <d33p61u3> hi ppl. I need some help. my sound stopped working on my laptop when i turned it on this morning. Was working hundred percent. I know it's not the hardware (sound works from a live cd) but i have no idea where to look for a solution. I only get a little static noise from my speakers when something is suppose to be playing
[16:18] <nightrid3r> FrozenPY did you check the md5sum before burning?
[16:18] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Oh good. Yeah activate those drivers and restart.
[16:18] <FrozenPY> yes, its good
[16:18] <Koordin> bakermd: no there is not
[16:19] <bakermd> hmm
[16:19] <tiyowan> Gnea: Could you check this our, please? http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-967778.html
[16:19] <bakermd> Koordin: What do you see when issuing ifconfig after the 1 minute has elapsed ( and you are offline )
[16:19] <drizzy77> wunnymush: thanks for the steps to setup x-fi sound card yesterday, worked perfectly and I finally have sound on my machine.
[16:20] <thebloggu> tiyowan, rebooting
[16:20] <Koordin> bakermd: i'll try next deconnection : )
[16:20] <FrozenPY> nightrid3r: yes, its good, checked it with MD5 Check Utility v2.3
[16:20] <onetinsoldier> wunnymush: can i get that?
[16:20] <Charley> hi is someone able to help me with my ubuntu problem?
[16:20] <tiyowan> !ask > Charley
[16:21] <Gnea> tiyowan: did you try turning all desktop visual effects off?
[16:21] <nightrid3r> FrozenPY maybe some setting in the bios. it should work cos u have xp on the machine
[16:21] <bakermd> ;)
[16:21] <onetinsoldier> drizzy77: did you use that open-sourced drivers that creative released back in november?
[16:21] <Gnea> Charley: not if we don't know about it
[16:21] <nightrid3r> Charley don't ask to ask
[16:21] <onetinsoldier> drizzy77: or is there something newer now that hey've been open-sourced?
[16:22] <Koordin> bakermd: http://rafb.net/p/EQwlN628.html (i'm using the wifi connection)
[16:22] <FrozenPY> nightrid3r: the settings should be good coz tried "Choose Default Setting", then i just changed the boot secuence
[16:22] <Charley> i just installed ubuntu and i have a linksys wusb11 that i cant install can someone help me figure this out
[16:23] <tiyowan> Gnea: The problem disappears when I switch to metacity. It's only with compiz that it acts up. I've researched the problem, and it seems that the ATI drivers seem to have a slight problem with Compiz. I think the compiz team is working on it though. But from what I've gathered, it's an ATI problem; because when I disable the prop. drivers, all is good.
[16:23] <nightrid3r> FrozenPY strange, this should do it, i'm out of options now
[16:23] <thebloggu> tiyowan, done, now you want the xorg.conf ?
[16:23] <drizzy77> onetinsoldier: i think it was just the drivers released back in November
[16:23] <Gnea> tiyowan: yeah, that seems to be the consensus
[16:23] <bakermd> Koordin: So that would be wmaster0 then, correct?
[16:23] <FrozenPY> nightrid3r: =[ nobody knows =\
[16:23] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Okay. Does everything seem to be good visually?
[16:23] <onetinsoldier> drizzy77: roger. do you have a link to instructions or anything?
[16:23] <Koordin> bakermd: eth0 i think ; how can i check ?
[16:24] <FrozenPY> but with Wubi it get a good install.. but i dont want wubi.. sucks
[16:24] <thebloggu> no, resolution extremely low
[16:24] <thebloggu> 640x480 i think
[16:24] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Verify that the prop. drivers are enabled in H/W drivers?
[16:24] <drizzy77> onetinsoldier: not with me, i am at work and have them wrote down at home
[16:24] <GuilhermeCunha> eth1 e eth0 with equal ip address
[16:24] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: interesting. what card? i have noproblem with compiz, with settings maxed if i choose to max them out
[16:24] <thebloggu> tiyowan, but it is using compiz
[16:24] <thebloggu> tiyowan, yes
[16:24] <onetinsoldier> drizzy77: roger that. wish i could get them! :-)
[16:24] <Koordin> GuilhermeCunha: but i have no ethernet cable connected, so eth1 should be off
[16:25] <axisys> i got the hostname change instruction from ubottu
[16:25] <bakermd> Koordin: eth0/1 should be physical - and yes, the fact that eth0 and eth1 have the same address is incorrect - make sure to disable one of the interfaces
[16:25] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, evidently the headers are not included with libglib2.0-dev
[16:25] <dethstar> :(
[16:25] <Koordin> bakermd: which one i disable ? and how ? i have no physical cable connected
[16:25] <Charley> i have a linksys usb11 that i dont know how to set up.. i checked the web and couldnt find anything that would help me.. does anyone have an anwser?
[16:25] <drizzy77> onetinsoldier: if you are on later today i can get them to you when i get home
[16:25] <bakermd> So on my Install Ubuntu on CF issue - I can not even boot the Live CD when the IDE-CF is connected - but can if the IDE is disconnected
[16:25] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: X1400 mobility radeon. It works fine with all the effects. Only problem is flickering video. To fix that, I need to switch to metacity. But then no 3D. :) It's a minor annoyance actually.
[16:25] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: give me the exact error message you get.. do you have the  pkg-config  package installed?
[16:25] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Okay, *now* we need your xorg.conf file, please.
[16:25] <hwilde> dethstar, what file do you want
[16:26] <Koordin> i'm almost sure that eth0 is my wifi connection
[16:26] <bakermd> Koordin: Are you using CLI or GUI?  I use CLI, which would be sudo ifconfig eth1 down
[16:26] <hwilde> Koordin, type "iwconfig" and it will tell you which are wireless
[16:26] <Koordin> ok eth0 is the wireless one
[16:26] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: oh, roger.. i think i get a little flickering too with opengl stuff like screensavers. otherwise no flicker
[16:26] <bakermd> That should not be the case... very odd
[16:26] <bakermd> Run the iwconfig as hwilde suggested
[16:27] <bakermd> brb
[16:27] <thebloggu> http://paste.ubuntu.com/90901
[16:27] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, yes I do have pkg-config installed, and the error message says "You must have the GTK+ 2.0 development headers installed"
[16:27] <Koordin> bakermd: that's what i've done to tell that eth0 is the wireless one
[16:27] <tiyowan> Gnea, onetinsoldier: Could you guys help me with thebloggu's problem? He's running intrepid with the nvidia prop. drivers on a geforce4 ti 4200 card. The nivida drivers support his card, but now we're getting very low resolution.
[16:27] <thebloggu> tiyowan, xorg.conf here http://paste.ubuntu.com/90901
[16:28] <onetinsoldier> drizzy77: i might not be here, but no worries. at least i have sound with an onboard sound card for now... but my X-Fi is also sitting in a PCI-e slot just waiting. ;-)
[16:28] <hwilde> dethstar,   sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
[16:28] <dethstar> hwilde, already been done
[16:28] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Thanks buddy. Now I need to do some more digging. Wait one.
[16:28] <Gnea> thebloggu: what version of the nvida driver do you have installed?
[16:28] <thebloggu> tiyowan, ok, thank you very much :)
[16:28] <thebloggu> 96
[16:28] <thebloggu> Gnea, 96, sorry
[16:28] <mostyfriedman> I want to enable database relations in phpmyadmin and I can't figure out how to do that in ubuntu .. anyone willing to help ?
[16:28] <hwilde> dethstar, what is this a configure script or something?
[16:29] <Gnea> thebloggu: 173 doesn't work?
[16:29] <dethstar> hwilde, yes
[16:29] <hwilde> dethstar, can you pastebin the configure script please
[16:29] <Finnish_> Anyone online with ATI Radeon HD3450 (or something like)? I'm having problems with HDMI output
[16:29] <thebloggu> Gnea, supposingly wont because my card is legacy i think
[16:29] <hwilde> mostyfriedman, /join #mysql
[16:29] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: ok, that's different than what you said before. before you said GLib headers... so, that means the Glib headers dependency was solved
[16:29] <thebloggu> Gnea, only 71 and 96 support it
[16:29] <mostyfriedman> hwilde, it's ubuntu related question because the packagers have changed the ways files and directories are
[16:29] <Gnea> thebloggu: okay, I wasn't sure how far back it had gone
[16:30] <Koordin> i've written "sudo ifconfig eth1 down" and my connection seems to have become stable
[16:30] <hwilde> mostyfriedman, the mysql people will be able to help you more than anyone here.
[16:30] <tiyowan> Gnea: I checked the nvidia page on the ubuntu site. The prop. drivers shipping with intrepid support his card.
[16:31] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: try...   apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev
[16:31] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: hello
[16:31] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Ok, buddy. Now type this from a terminal please, "sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings"
[16:31] <Gnea> thebloggu: so what happens when you load X up?
[16:31] <amerinese> anyone using the fish shell?  does your "save_function" function work?  mine is missing.  8.10, fish version 1.23
[16:31] <thebloggu> Gnea, tiyowan dont know if it helps, but it maybe another kind of problem because i go to nvidia-settings and the monitor detected is crt but my monitor is lcd
[16:31] <tiyowan> Gnea: He's stuck on 640x480.
[16:31] <thebloggu> tiyowan, done that :P
[16:31] <komputes> any good command line tools to show you your public IP address?
[16:32] <nblracer> need some help, i\mounting a raid; it is a hardware base promise fastrack tx2000, the os is on another drive
[16:32] <Gnea> tiyowan: safe-mode?
[16:32] <thebloggu> Gnea, nothing, it behaves normally but very low resolution
[16:32] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Ok. So you can't change the resolution from nvidia settings right?
[16:32] <ikonia> nblracer the way I'm reading the info on your device it is a windows fakeraid device
[16:32] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, already installed the libgtk2.0-dev package... thanks
[16:32] <nblracer> i would like to mount it as read only, btw
[16:32] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: ok.. what is it your are tying to compile?
[16:32] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, the new pifgin
[16:33] <nblracer> ikonia: meaning? i saw that there was linux drivers
[16:33] <thebloggu> tiyowan, only to 320x240 and 640x480
[16:33] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, the new pidgin
[16:33] <ikonia> nblracer the device is classed as a "fake raid" controller from teh documents I'm reading, there are linux drivers but they are VERY old and don't look compatible with modern kernels from what I'm reading
[16:33] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: where cani get it?
[16:33] <mogra> does the Intel chipset work fine in 8.10? including Intel X3100 graphics?
[16:33] <ikonia> nblracer: I'm just reading a little more on them now
[16:33] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: i will download it and try to compile it
[16:33] <Playboy_> Would it be advisable to dual boot Linux on my Intel Mac?
[16:33] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Still digging. Could you pastebin your xorg.conf again? Gnea could take a look at it.
[16:33] <Gnea> thebloggu: can you pastebin /var/log/Xorg.0.log please?
[16:33] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, pidgin.im
[16:33] <thebloggu> tiyowan, Gnea and on Configure i can only choose separate x screen..
[16:34] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: how did you download the source?
[16:34] <mogra> Playboy_:  should work just fine. Can even use Apple's Boot Manager, iirc.
[16:34] <thebloggu> tiyowan, Gnea  xorg.conf here http://paste.ubuntu.com/90901
[16:34] <Gnea> thebloggu: yeah, saw that, looking for the logfile
[16:34] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, by selecting the download link...
[16:34] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Ah yes. Post the logfile, please.
[16:34] <Playboy_> mogra: k, i'll look into it. Thanks.
[16:34] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, brb
[16:34] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: ok
[16:34] <nblracer> ikonia:  thanks; ubuntu seems to see the hardware fine each drive.partition, just not as a single raid disk
[16:35] <onetinsoldier> !pigdin
[16:35] <ikonia> nblracer: I've just read on teh release notes that the drivers are only for the 2.4 kernel so the fake raid setup from your windows build won't be visable
[16:35] <onetinsoldier> !pidgin
[16:35] <Finnish_> !hdmi
[16:35] <ikonia> nblracer: it also appears that the drivers for linux where very bad anyway even if they where usable in a 2.6 kernel
[16:35] <thebloggu> tiyowan, Gnea /var/log/Xorg.0.log here http://paste.ubuntu.com/90907
[16:35] <asymetrixs> hi, what do i need if i use a raid controller which supports hotplug? do i need special kernel modules which support this hotplug feature too?
[16:36] <NET||abuse> hmm, did big foremost scan on the disk image i took from the camera's sd card,, it recover about 30 avi,mov and mpg files but none of them are playable according to totem and vlc
[16:37] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: version 2.5.3 tarball?
[16:37] <nblracer> ikonia:  is there any work around, should i down grade kernels, an Open source software drivers that can be used
[16:37] <echinos> !sound
[16:37] <ikonia> nblracer don't downgrade the kernel, a 2.4 kernel won't work and open soruce software won't work on it
[16:37] <Gnea> thebloggu: okay, looks like you've got the right driver, but it's not catching the monitor correctly... what monitor do you have and what sort of connection is it using?
[16:37] <Playboy_> Linux is not supported by bootcamp :(
[16:37] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Hey, looks like you've got some monitor problems. What's your monitor's model?
[16:38] <ikonia> nblracer: there are notes of using the 2.6 kernel to get a fake raid array built but it has to be assembled from scratch (wiping the disks) and doesn't seem to support rebuilding existing arrays
[16:38] <NET||abuse> and recovered 1900 images alltogether,, there are about 20 or 30 that are not viewable at all and another 30 or so that are viewable but like 3 different images spliced together, and then another bunch with greyed out sections.
[16:38] <nblracer> ikonia: or is my best bet to part ion my drive and install win Xp on it?
[16:38] <mogra> Playboy_: huh, I know YDL used to work fine with bootcamp
[16:38] <Gnea> thebloggu: by connection, I mean:  VGA, DVI or HDMI
[16:38] <mogra> oh, wait, that was Chooser, bootcamp's predecessor
[16:38] <ikonia> nblracer I don't know how that card works in windows, but I it seems a better option than linux
[16:38] <thebloggu> Gnea, tiyowan Samsung SyncMaster 710N LCD with VGA
[16:39] <Gnea> thebloggu: nice. one sec
[16:39] <Playboy_> mogra: ah
[16:40] <nblracer> ikonia: last question, you have been a great help; will a bootable version of Windows like BartPe see the raid
[16:40] <ikonia> nblracer: no idea
[16:40] <ikonia> nblracer: I suspect not
[16:40] <ikonia> nblracer: the guys in ##windows may help better than that
[16:40] <alexmax> I'm net-installing ubuntu 8.10 on a virtual server.  I got an error message that it couldn't download a certian package, yet i hit continue and installation continues.  Did it 'fix' it somehow or is the installtion going to flip out when i reboot?
[16:41] <loufoque> lately whenever I connect with ssh in command line to another server my password is asked with a GUI even though my public key is already on the server. How do I disable this?
[16:41] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: do you have a link to a pastebin of you xorg.conf file?
[16:41] <thebloggu> onetinsoldier, http://paste.ubuntu.com/90901
[16:42] <torero> !ru
[16:42] <onetinsoldier> thx
[16:42] <bidossessi> anybody knows where i could find a fairly recent linux - others TCO comparative study, or article?
[16:42] <ikonia> !offtopic | bidossessi
[16:42] <Gnea> bidossessi: www.distrowatch.com, www.linux.com
[16:43] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: i see you have some stuff in there, but it loos a little on the empty side.
[16:43] <Sergej-FSE-Suhl> uirc.net
[16:43] <Gnea> thebloggu: try commenting out the bit in xorg.conf about loading the glx module
[16:44] <wunnymush> stil having problem to get a flash chat site to load all the features on it
[16:44] <hwilde> wunnymush, please go here and tell me what version you have  http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507
[16:44] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: looks a little on the empty side. is this all stuff that's been manually entered in?
[16:44] <tiyowan> Gnea: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=777564 <- maybe?
[16:44] <wunnymush> hwilde: i'll do that
[16:44] <thebloggu> onetinsoldier, no, it was generated from the driver install
[16:45] <thebloggu> Gnea, exactly the same, drivers load but resolution low
[16:46] <CntrySheepFahker> Does anyone know why when I try to watch a streaming/ flash video online the sound doesn't work and the picture is very choppy/laggy?
[16:46] <tiyowan> Gnea: Maybe he needs to reconfigure xorg.conf and manually select his display?
[16:46] <Gnea> tiyowan: i was thinking something similar :)
[16:46] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: ok, roger. i know of a way to generate the file that might work better for you. then, with that file, you would specify the driver that you want to use and any options(such as "AddARGBGLXVisuals") by entering them in manually
[16:46] <CntryTrousrTrout> anyone?
[16:46] <wunnymush> hwilde: this is the version: LNX 10,0,15,3
[16:47] <hwilde> wunnymush, ok so that is a good sign.  now what page are you trying to view that doesn't work
[16:47] <alexmax> is there a command that can time how long it takes for a process to complete?
[16:47] <tiyowan> Gnea: So how would we go about doing this? I'd to like to learn how to fix stuff like this. :)
[16:47] <hwilde> alexmax, put the word time before the command
[16:47] <garthdb> Sorry - Newbie question.  I just installed Ubuntu and I have a few other hard drives on the system, but when I try to save anything to them it says it can't read or write to them.  Any ideas on how to fix this?
[16:48] <hwilde> garthdb, are they windows drives
[16:48] <garthdb> hwilde: I formatted them with GParted to ext3
[16:48] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: however, it might not work any better at all. but you wouldn't lose anything by trying. it's up to you
[16:48] <thebloggu> onetinsoldier, how ?
[16:48] <hwilde> garthdb, are they mounted ?
[16:48] <garthdb> hwilde: yup
[16:48] <thebloggu> onetinsoldier, of course :)
[16:48] <wunnymush> hwilde: http://chat.sol.no    i can use the chat, but the chat dropdownmenu doesn't work, and when the chat window apear it's missing a big element
[16:48] <hwilde> garthdb, what are the mountpoints
[16:49] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: it requires a number of steps.. but it's not too bad. just make sure to make a backup of your current xorg.conf file... i will paste in the instruction in the next couple of lines.
[16:49] <garthdb> hwilde: one is /media/iTunes
[16:49] <thebloggu> onetinsoldier, backed up already
[16:49] <CntryTrousrTrout> Does anyone know why when I try to watch a streaming/ flash video online the sound doesn't work and the picture is very choppy/laggy?
[16:49] <garthdb> hwilde: I'm using it for a itunes media server
[16:50] <garthdb> or so the is the plan
[16:50] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Follow onetinsoldier's lead. It's time to do some xorg.conf surgery. :)
[16:50] <thebloggu> tiyowan, ok :)
[16:50] <jreyes33> I have a question
[16:50] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: i have no idea if this will work at all. actually, since you guy have been trying to much, i get a bad feeling it won't. but here goes
[16:51] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: 1) determine what display_manager you use with --> cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager  2) log out of x-windows  3) Ctrl+Alt+F1  4) login to the console termminal  4) sudo invoke-rc.d <display_manager> stop (ie invoke-rc.d gdm stop, this shuts down x-windows completely)  5) sudo Xorg -configure (this command should create a full xorg.conf.new file in the root users home directory)
[16:51] <onetinsoldier> 6) make a backup of your old xorg.conf file first if you wish --> sudo cp -v /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.old  7) sudo cp -v /root/xorg.conf.new /etc/X11/xorg.conf  8) now it's time to try your new xorg.conf file by starting x-windows back up --> sudo invoke-rc.d <display_manager> start
[16:51] <jreyes33> can anybody help me out here?
[16:51] <hwilde> garthdb, type in cd /media/iTunes   then type  "touch test.txt"
[16:51] <Jonatan> Hej
[16:51] <soundray> jreyes33: just ask
[16:51] <garthdb> hwilde: permission denied
[16:51] <hwilde> wunnymush, that chat does not look right to me.
[16:52] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: what you can do is copy and paste that all into a text file and save it on your hard drive so you can read it with the 'less' command
[16:52] <hwilde> garthdb, ok so it's mounted as root or something
[16:52] <hwilde> garthdb, you need permissions on the mountpoint
[16:52] <jreyes33> ok, I'm installing ubuntu on my friend's computer and there are conflicts with the graphics card (i guess) because we can't get the graphic installer to work
[16:52] <garthdb> hwilde: can I chmod it with sudo?
[16:52] <wunnymush> hwilde: it worked fine when i used windows
[16:52] <soundray> jreyes33: what graphic installer?
[16:52] <Gnea> onetinsoldier, tiyowan, thebloggu: I was thinking step 5) would be sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[16:52] <garthdb> hwilde: I'm sure I'm getting all the terms wrong :)
[16:53] <fungo> make-kpkg apply the ubuntu patches to the kernel i'm compiling?
[16:53] <onetinsoldier> Gnea: have you done that before? it's like, yuk!
[16:53] <torero> !ru
[16:53] <jreyes33> soundray: the normal installer, the one everyone uses
[16:53] <soundray> garthdb: first, you should check whether it's writable as sudo: 'sudo touch test'
[16:53] <Gnea> onetinsoldier: yeah, it's pretty minimalistic... it works sometimes
[16:53] <soundray> jreyes33: so you're having trouble with the CD?
[16:53] <Nbomb3> I just installed Ubuntu on my computer, in double-boot mode, and in Windows, my speakers and everything work fine.  But in Ubuntu, my speakers are only putting out maybe half the sound they should be, and on top of that, the headphones don't work at all in Ubuntu...
[16:54] <garthdb> hwilde: it doesn't give me an error
[16:54] <tiyowan> Gnea: From what I can get from the forums, he needs to select his screen *manually*. Let's see what happens.
[16:54] <thebloggu> Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan tried step 5 and the screen went black
[16:54] <onetinsoldier> Gnea: this way it's done by the Xorg guys, and has worked quickly and nicely for a few guys. it doesn't always work out tho.
[16:54] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: did you leave x-windows?
[16:54] <thebloggu> yes
[16:54] <Gnea> tiyowan: yeah
[16:54] <torero> !ru
[16:54] <jreyes33> soundray: yeah, but i checked it for errors and it has none. I have already tried with two 8.10 CDs and one 8-04
[16:54] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: did you shut x-windows down completely?
[16:54] <soundray> jreyes33: how far do you get in the boot process?
[16:55] <Gnea> onetinsoldier: well, just in case it doesn't work, we've got bases covered
[16:55] <thebloggu> onetinsoldier, i think so, i stopped gdm and went to the terminal
[16:55] <onetinsoldier> Gnea: roger that
[16:55] <soundray> garthdb: did it create the test file when you tried with sudo?
[16:55] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: hmmmm, strange
[16:55] <hwilde> wunnymush, this is what the page loks like to me:  http://helios.aethon.com/tracker/hwilde/juleradio.png
[16:55] <jreyes33> soundray: i get to the menu where you can choose to run ubuntu, install it, memtest, check cd, etc. after I select install or run I get some graphic issues
[16:56] <garthdb> hwilde: yup looks like it did
[16:56] <torero> #ubuntu_ru
[16:56] <soundray> jreyes33: please describe
[16:56] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Give a shot at trying the full series of steps onetinsoldier posted?
[16:56] <thebloggu> Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan it went completely black, control-c, control-z, control-alt-backspace dont work
[16:56] <unr3a1> hey all
[16:56] <wunnymush> hwilde: that's the radiowindow
[16:56] <unr3a1> how can I make a usb drive bootable in linux?
[16:56] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: you didn't go to  Ctrl+Alt+F7 did you?
[16:56] <thebloggu> no
[16:56] <onetinsoldier> ok
[16:56] <Gnea> !usb | unr3a1
[16:57] <garthdb> hwilde: I'm assuming I should just change the permissions at the mount point, what would be the best to change them too?
[16:57] <jreyes33> soundray: I selected run ubuntu from live cd and I get to see the progress bar, but after it's completed the screen stays black with some spots in the middle, sorry I can't get a screenshot
[16:57] <onetinsoldier> Gnea: anyway, that command usually creates a pretty full xorg.conf file
[16:57] <unr3a1> Gnea: I already have ubuntu installed.  What I want to do is put the image on the USB flash drive, and make the drive bootable.  I know how to do that in windows, but not when I am logged into linux
[16:57] <garthdb> hwilde: I should have to "admin" type users and I like them to both be able to read at write to it
[16:58] <garthdb> hwilde: *two
[16:58] <unr3a1> Gnea: nvm... I see it
[16:58] <soundray> jreyes33: thanks, that makes it much clearer. Have you tried the "Safe Graphics" option?
[16:58] <thebloggu> Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan it went completely black, control-c, control-z, control-alt-backspace dont wor
[16:58] <Gnea> unr3a1: :)
[16:58] <thebloggu> Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan wait
[16:58] <jreyes33> soundray: not yet, don't really now how
[16:59] <Gnea> thebloggu: can you switch to ctrl-alt-f1?
[16:59] <thebloggu> Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan i pressen alt-control-f1 and it went to terminal again
[16:59] <hwilde> garthdb, I dunno but the issue is you don't have permisisons on the mount point
[16:59] <soundray> jreyes33: it's one of the options on the menu you described earlier.
[16:59] <tiyowan> Gnea, onetinsoldier: Is it possible to take the monitor section from the xorg.conf file here http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=65925 and post it into his file? Because the one in the link is using the same display as his.
[16:59] <mekr> Im in Live CD right now, installing ubuntu, in Manual Disk formating section, need help, i can install it in 1 disk (26gb total size) and its ntfs, i need to create other partitions of the 26gb disk?
[16:59] <Gnea> thebloggu: instead of trying to run gdm, you can test it with X itself ... just type X and press enter... it may take a little while, but if it works right, you should get a grey screen with an 'x' cursor - ctrl-alt-backspace should back it out
[17:00] <thebloggu> Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan it says Xorg: symbol error: /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers//vga_drv.so: undefined symbol: xf86GetPciVideoInfo
[17:00] <onetinsoldier> OH!
[17:00] <Gnea> oh my
[17:00] <tiyowan> Umm...
[17:00] <jreyes33> soundray: ok, let me see what happens. Thanks. one more question: does this mean I'm going to have problems with the graphics card when ubuntu is already installed?
[17:00] <thebloggu> Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan this after it went to the terminal
[17:00] <thebloggu> lets test x now
[17:01] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: that is certainly a problem
[17:01] <Gnea> tiyowan: that might work (the monitor section)
[17:01] <garthdb> hwilde: thanks for helping me trouble shoot it
[17:01] <soundray> jreyes33: that's hard to say, because at this stage we don't know exactly what the problem is. Is there anything unusual about this machine or its graphics that you know of?
[17:01] <thebloggu> Gnea, onetinsoldier X worked
[17:01] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: that command usually creates a nice full xorg.conf file... but then you have to specify the driver in it
[17:02] <russ> how can I set the different wallpaper on dual monitors?
[17:02] <Gnea> thebloggu: check your driver in xorg.conf
[17:02] <tiyowan> Gnea: I'm thinking, instead of having him manually reconfigure his xorg.conf file, we could *cheat* by getting the screen section in there.
[17:02] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Could you post your xorg.conf now?
[17:02] <thebloggu> Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan xorg.conf is the same
[17:02] <Gnea> tiyowan: well, if he needs to, we'll give that a shot.. he seems to be making some success
[17:02] <jreyes33> soundray: my friend told me he has just removed his graphics card and is now running on the mainboard graphics, but Windows isn't having any problems with that
[17:02] <thebloggu> Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan including the commented glx part
[17:03] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: well, what about that error?
[17:03] <soundray> jreyes33: do you know the make of the onboard graphics chip?
[17:03] <thebloggu> Gnea, onetinsoldier tiyowan should i try to reconfigure x again ?
[17:04] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: alli know is that error message you got absolutely must be solved before anyting is going to work right
[17:04] <jreyes33> soundray: I'm not sure, it's a Biostar mainboard. But so far the installer is already running
[17:04] <thebloggu> onetinsoldier, how ?
[17:05] <unr3a1> Gnea: Thanks for the link.  Much appreciated
[17:05] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: that i don't know
[17:05] <Gnea> thebloggu, tiyowan, onetinsoldier: yeah, try tiyowan's idea with the monitor section
[17:05] <soundray> jreyes33: I see, is he just booting the installer for the first time with the "new" setup?
[17:05] <Gnea> unr3a1: cheers :)
[17:05] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: I've got no clue about that symbol error.
[17:05] <mekr> Im in Live CD right now, installing ubuntu, in Manual Disk formating section, need help, i can install it in 1 disk (26gb total size) and its ntfs, i need to create other partitions of the 26gb disk? or just install it and format it ?
[17:06] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, yes.. version 2.5.3 tarball, and I'm running intrepid 64bit
[17:06] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: but yes.. go with Gnea and tiyowan for now.. add the screen section from that page. i'm googling the error
[17:06] <CntryTrousrTrout> Does anyone know why when I try to watch a streaming/ flash video online the sound doesn't work and the picture is very choppy/laggy?
[17:06] <dr_willis> mekr,  the installer can resize if you want it to..   I normally resize with gparted and leave part of the HD unalocated.. and let the installer install to that.
[17:06] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: roger. i downloaded it. busy with another fellow for the moment
[17:07] <thebloggu> tiyowan, what should i do ?
[17:07] <jab> my sound isnt working, checked alsa, any ideas?
[17:07] <soundray> CntryTrousrTrout: perhaps you're using gnash. Install flashplugin-nonfree instead.
[17:07] <jreyes33> soundray: if you mean with the safe graphics, yes. But if you mean if he has booted ubuntu before, no. This is the first time he's installing/trying to install ubuntu
[17:07] <tiyowan> Gnea, thebloggu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/90928/ <- This has got the screen section, but ATI drivers.
[17:07] <CntryTrousrTrout> soundray: I downloaded shock flash from their site.
[17:07] <soundray> jreyes33: I mean first time since he removed the graphics card
[17:07] <mekr> dr_willis: ill create a new partition, may i choose logical or primary?
[17:07] <onetinsoldier> Gnea and tiyowan and thebloggu: there is a hit on bugs.launchpad.net...  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/265035
[17:08] <soundray> CntryTrousrTrout: remove that and gnash (if it's installed) and install flashplugin-nonfree through the package manager.
[17:08] <thebloggu> tiyowan, can you make a paste of what you think it may be ?
[17:08] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Could you post your xorg.conf again please? Lemme check.
[17:08] <Gnea> !bug 265035
[17:08] <jreyes33> soundray: what i said, when he had his graphics card he never tried installing ubuntu or any linux distro
[17:08] <dr_willis> mekr,  linux can use either one.
[17:09] <onetinsoldier> Gnea and tiyowan and thebloggu: looks like it might be an ABI problem and an as yet unsolved bug for this other guy that had the issue
[17:09] <mekr> dr_willis: whats the difference?
[17:09] <wunnymush> hwilde: where do i upload my chatwindow?
[17:09] <thebloggu> tiyowan, , http://paste.ubuntu.com/90901
[17:09] <CntryTrousrTrout> soundray: If this helps heres plugins I have installed from about:plugins    http://pastebin.com/m29958065
[17:09] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: ok, i'm going to try it out now
[17:09] <MisterChief> I had to cancel in the middle of downloading/installing updates because of my crappy wifi connection. Now I can't update without it puking errors everywhere.
[17:09] <Gnea> onetinsoldier: nice call
[17:09] <dr_willis> mekr,  disk partiioning basics.. check google/wiki pages.. In short. You can have 4 Primary Partitions per disk.. One can be  an Extended partition that holds Logicals...
[17:10] <MisterChief> anyway to fix this?
[17:10] <jab> could anyone tell me why i cant hear sound? i checked alsa and everything is at 100%
[17:10] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: Hmm...but the binary drivers supports his card. And I've got people with his display model using intrepid properly. And his display works (somewhat) using envy.
[17:10] <onetinsoldier> Gnea: thanks. but i didn't read the bug thread too closely. take a look if you haven't yet
[17:10] <Gnea> onetinsoldier: k
[17:10] <soundray> CntryTrousrTrout: okay, in that case installing the packaged version won't make a difference
[17:11] <Arrick> hey all, im having a problem getting my laptop (running latest stable) to record music using audacity, any ideas?
[17:11] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: roger.. take a look at my link. i'm going to try and help dethstar for now
[17:11] <Arrick> I need to get it to record
[17:11] <soundray> jreyes33: any difference when trying the Safe Graphics option?
[17:11] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: Thanks.
[17:11] <onetinsoldier> yep
[17:11] <CntryTrousrTrout> so then I do have plugins I need thus far correct?
[17:11] <thebloggu> onetinsoldier, thank you :)
[17:11] <soundray> CntryTrousrTrout: as far as I can tell, yes
[17:11] <thebloggu> tiyowan, Gnea you checked my xorg.conf ?
[17:12] <COITO> OMG GUYS!!! LHC will start working next week!! here: http://ptlancer.freehostia.com/
[17:12] <wunnymush> !pastebin
[17:12] <tiyowan> thebloggu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/90928/ <- This is the file we're going to take stuff from all right?
[17:12] <jab> could anyone help me? i kno its a noob issue, but i just got back from surgery and just want to watch a dvd
[17:12] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: you're welcome. wish i knew how to fix it though
[17:12] <jab>  could anyone tell me why i cant hear sound? i checked alsa and everything is at 100%
[17:12] <MisterChief> this channel is still useless to those needing help outside of the easy google shit. Nice to see nothing has changed.
[17:12] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: you still here?
[17:12] <thebloggu> tiyowan, ok
[17:12] <CntryTrousrTrout> soundray: So anymore suggestions?
[17:13] <The_Joe_> I've installed the Restricted nVidia drivers but apparently my max resolution is 640x400 - which I know it's not
[17:13] <tiyowan> Oh dear. *same* problem as thebloggu's.
[17:13] <dekkong> The_Joe_: do you have Nvidia X-Server Settings?
[17:13] <soundray> CntryTrousrTrout: check whether something else is hogging your CPU
[17:13] <The_Joe_> dekkong, Yes
[17:13] <jreyes33> soundray: yes. It's actually now working. But it's not working in full resolution, i.e. if you move the mouse to the edges of the screen you get to scroll the screen. Monitor res: 1440x900
[17:13] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, ye
[17:13] <The_Joe_> dekkong, I can't change the resolution there either
[17:13] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, yes
[17:14] <dekkong> The_Joe_: hmm
[17:14] <thebloggu> The_Joe_, welcome to the club :P
[17:14] <dethstar> anyone used the new dell keyboards..  :P
[17:14] <jab>  could anyone tell me why i cant hear sound? i checked alsa and everything is at 100%
[17:14] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Ok. I need you to copy the Monitor section into your xorg.conf file okay? But make a backup first, please.
[17:14] <hischild> dethstar, that's offtopic here.
[17:14] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: ok, i'm going to try it out now
[17:14] <Gnea> dethstar: I prefer logitechs :)
[17:14] <thebloggu> tiyowan, backup done, ok
[17:14] <dethstar> hischild, ty for bringing that to my att
[17:14] <AutoMatriX> The_Joe_, resolution problem in your Xorg ?
[17:15] <KST_> hi
[17:15] <KST_> hi
[17:15] <soundray> jreyes33: that's likely to be okay once the system is installed properly. Your friend may have to enable a proprietary driver then (System-Administration-Hardware Drivers).
[17:15] <The_Joe_> AutoMatriX, Yes
[17:15] <jab>  could anyone tell me why i cant hear sound? i checked alsa and everything is at 100%
[17:15] <resnostyle> hey guys. i am intereted in installing ubunut on a new windows machine using a dual boot. i installed it on one machine with 2000 pro and it worked but i am curious how well it would work with XP.
[17:15] <Gnea> !sound | jab
[17:15] <Arrick> misterchef you could always delete temp files and see if it allows you to run it
[17:15] <AutoMatriX> The_Joe_, just coming in, so I did not see the eact question ... but I might have an anwer
[17:15] <Anacranom> resnostyle, the same
[17:15] <Pici> resnostyle: IT would work exactly the same.
[17:15] <jab>  could anyone tell me why i cant hear sound? i checked alsa and everything is at 100%
[17:15] <Gnea> tiyowan, thebloggu: the intrepid way of configuring X seems to have changed radically
[17:15] <resnostyle> jablo: i found pluggin headphones will allow me to hear when sounds isnt coming out speakers (laptop)
[17:16] <The_Joe_> AutoMatriX, Ok - well I've installed the Restricted nVidia Drivers and my resolution won't go higher than 640x400
[17:16] <Gnea> !repeat | jab
[17:16] <tiyowan> thebloggu: After copying the Monitor section, I want you to copy the entire Screen section into you xorg.conf file, except for the line beginning with Device.
[17:16] <The_Joe_> AutoMatriX, The card is an old GeForce2 MX200 if it helps
[17:16] <jab> thanks reno
[17:16] <Anacranom> The_Joe_, are they "enabled" and "in use"?
[17:16] <jreyes33> soundray: I've worked with that before. So that's it, thanks a lot! Right now it's in the installation process. Thanks
[17:16] <thebloggu> The_Joe_, Geforce legacy ? once again, join the club
[17:16] <AutoMatriX> The_Joe_, nost very 'nice' but it worked using the Xorg config file I stole from a 7.04 version ;)
[17:16] <The_Joe_> Anacranom, Yes - as far as I know
[17:16] <thebloggu> time to make some tshirts :P
[17:17] <resnostyle> Anacranom: pici: have you heard of major problems when doing this? i am nervous about changing my xp install to put this up there.
[17:17] <The_Joe_> thebloggu, Sounds like a good idea!
[17:17] <CntryTrousrTrout> soundray: Such as? Now I do have compiz running, but it doesn't effect my video from harddrive. SO I dont know there. Umm my sound source is HDMI, which took me awhile to even get it working, but ive tried default alsa ect and no go. As far as hogging cpu I wouldn't know how to check that. Ive had linux for 4 days now.
[17:17] <Anacranom> The_Joe_, go to system>admin~>hardware... and it ill show
[17:17] <The_Joe_> Anacranom, Yes it definitely is
[17:17] <thebloggu> The_Joe_, if my xorg.xonf solves the problem i tell you The_Joe_
[17:17] <The_Joe_> thebloggu, Thanks
[17:18] <Hoffly> Hi guys, i have been trying for ages not to set up alsa. i got it working for a2 days then mysteriously after a reboot it stopped working. I read that OSS is better but that dosent work either.
[17:18] <Anacranom> and u have installed nvidia-settings ?
[17:18] <tiyowan> thebloggu: After copying the monitor and screen sections, I want you to pastebin your file again so I can take a look.
[17:18] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: ok, i'm installing libgtk2.0-devright now
[17:18] <jab> thank you reno, plugging headphones made it work for some reason *throws hands up*
[17:18] <The_Joe_> Anacranom, Yes. That installed with the drivers
[17:18] <soundray> CntryTrousrTrout: one way is to run gnome-system-monitor and click on the '%CPU' header to order processes by CPU use.
[17:18] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, okay
[17:18] <resnostyle> jab, i know its quite weird.
[17:18] <Anacranom> The_Joe_, the sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings ?
[17:19] <resnostyle> jab, i checked on the internet and noticed someone else used that as soltuion even after everything is completed correctly.
[17:19] <AutoMatriX> The_Joe_, so I guess you might download a live version of ubuntu 7.04 and copy and paste your xorg.conf :)
[17:19] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: i just got  ./configure --prefix=/usr   to complete successfully
[17:19] <joejc> can anyone help me with a problem?
[17:19] <The_Joe_> AutoMatriX, If only the burner worked
[17:19] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: doh! wait!
[17:19] <Karti> Hi all, quick question about another user with admin rights on the pc. I would like to get my wife to move away from Windows(It won't be easy) but if I clone my drive and add her as a user are there specific groups that she has to be in to amend add software etc. Many thanks
[17:19] <resnostyle> joejc: i would advise you just state you problem, instead of asking can someone help you.
[17:19] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: not quite yet...   XScreenSaver extension development headers not found.
[17:19] <Pici> resnostyle: No, I've had no issues with any dual boot installs I've done.  2000 is not much different than XP.
[17:19] <The_Joe_> Anacranom, Yes yes yes - it's installed
[17:20] <soundray> joejc: that's impossible to tell without a description of the problem
[17:20] <ackbahr> Hi! How do I suspend (stop) and restart a process from command line (SSH)?
[17:20] <AutoMatriX> The_Joe_, I'll paste mine then, it is also an olg Geforce
[17:20] <The_Joe_> !ask | joejc
[17:20] <The_Joe_> AutoMatriX, Ok - thank you
[17:20] <resnostyle> ackbahr: you need the id number, then run kill
[17:20] <soundray> ackbahr: Ctrl-Z to suspend, 'bg' to make it run in the background, 'fg' to return it to the foreground.
[17:21] <aaron_> test
[17:21] <Anacranom> The_Joe_, i'll pastebin my xorg.conf and you can look at the subsection with the resolutions..
[17:21] <ackbahr> resnostyle: but what signal do I send?
[17:21] <ackbahr> (for start and stop)
[17:21] <dr_willis> ackbahr,  you may want to check out some bash guides and 'job controll' chapters.
[17:21] <soundray> ackbahr: please try my suggestion first
[17:21] <thebloggu> tiyowan, http://paste.ubuntu.com/90936/
[17:21] <Gnea> aaron_: 1
[17:21] <resnostyle> ackbahr: not sure. kill but i think you need other parameters
[17:21] <ackbahr> soundray: But I nohup-ed the process....
[17:21] <Anacranom> The_Joe_, http://pastebin.com/f9f4d0d0
[17:22] <Pici> dethstar: The easiest way to ensure that you have all the build dependencies for something that is already in the repositories would be to do a: sudo apt-get build-dep packagename
[17:22] <thebloggu> tiyowan, forget to erase a screen section :P
[17:22] <The_Joe_> Anacranom, Ok - I'll try it
[17:22] <dr_willis> ackbahr,  'screen' may be very worth learning about. :) its a handy tool for keeping jobs in the background
[17:22] <Anacranom> The_Joe_, sorry wrong box
[17:22] <joejc> i just upgraded and i cant use the visual effects any more and becuse my graphics driver isnt working and when i reinstal it and restart i get an error a need to use the default graphics configuration
[17:22] <dethstar> Pici, it will do that for a package that you're compiling from source?
[17:22] <Anacranom> The_Joe_, wait 1, i send the correct one
[17:22] <The_Joe_> Anacranom, Ok
[17:23] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: you will need to install the following...     apt-get install libstartup-notification0 libstartup-notification0-dev
[17:23] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Put the entire device section first. Then the monitor section. Then the screen section.
[17:23] <whyameye> ever since I switched to FF/ubuntu I've had this problem with flash have some flash menus etc. showing up BELOW jpgs etc. on a web page when they are supposed to be on top. Any known fix for this?
[17:23] <soundray> ackbahr: 'man kill' in that case. The docs of the program should tell you what it does when you send the various signals.
[17:23] <ackbahr> soundray: ok
[17:23] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, thx.. I'll try that
[17:23] <ackbahr> dr_willis: I'll look into it
[17:23] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: that's not all.. hang on
[17:23] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, k
[17:24] <CntryTrousrTrout> soundray: cpu resources is cpu1 4 percent cpu2 is 10 percent, under %cpu only process is the windows I have up at this time..
[17:24] <joejc> ne one?
[17:24] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Module section first. Then device. Then monitor. And finally screen.
[17:24] <The_Joe_> Anacranom, May not need to - someone is sending me their xorg which is for legacy nVidias
[17:24] <Pici> dethstar: If the package is already in the repos, then it will get the build-depends for that package, which are likely the same thing for the new source.
[17:24] <ackbahr> soundray: It doesn't tell much about what the various signals do, actually....
[17:25] <Anacranom> The_Joe_, ok, well here it is if you want to take a look, i manually input the resolutions i wanted... http://pastebin.com/f3e9c2cd0
[17:25] <soundray> ackbahr: that's because it depends on the program that receives the signals how it deals with them.
[17:25] <adrenaline> anybody know how I can change my default browser in ubuntu?
[17:25] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: apt-get install libgtkspell0 libgtkspell-dev    ...then there's more!
[17:25] <amikrop> Hello. supertux-stable has no icon in the menu. Any fix, please?
[17:25] <Pici> ackbahr: man signal   has more info
[17:25] <thebloggu> tiyowan, http://paste.ubuntu.com/90939/
[17:25] <ackbahr> Pici: I'll try this, thanks!
[17:26] <soundray> CntryTrousrTrout: that's not the problem then. From which site are you trying to play videos?
[17:26] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Hang on, buddy. I need to step outside for a moment.
[17:26] <thebloggu> tiyowan, ok
[17:26] <ackbahr> soundray: Well, "stop" and "cont" seem to work for me.... :D
[17:26] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: apt-get install libxml2 libxml2-dev
[17:26] <The_Joe_> Anacranom, Ok - I'll try that.
[17:26]  * The_Joe_ restarts X
[17:26] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: you getting all this?
[17:27] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, have em
[17:27] <adrenaline> nevermind I found it
[17:27] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: ok.. still mopre yet for me
[17:27] <onetinsoldier> more*
[17:27] <soundray> adrenaline: System-Preferences-Preferred Applications
[17:27] <Pici> onetinsoldier: Thats the same thing that you should get from apt-get build-dep pidgin (or whatever source you're trying to install)
[17:27] <jeffrey_> hi, is there any listing of good dedicated server providers which provide/support ubuntu server?
[17:28] <The_Joe_> Anacranom, If anything - that made it worse
[17:28] <unr3a1> Gnea: when I try to use syslinux to make the drive mountable, it says that the mount point is a folder.   why would it be saying this?
[17:28] <Anacranom> The_Joe_, as with anything, always backup the original first
[17:28] <The_Joe_> Anacranom, Yes I have a backup
[17:28] <CntryTrousrTrout> soundray: hulu.com, but ive tried other sources
[17:29] <soundray> CntryTrousrTrout: are youtube videos playing okay?
[17:29] <Anacranom> The_Joe_, what did you do? i was just showing you mine? i am running a 8600 and 8.04 so mine will be different
[17:29] <CntryTrousrTrout> let me check that forgot about youtube
[17:29] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: apt-get install libgstreamer0.10-0 libgstreamer0.10-dev
[17:29] <unr3a1> Gnea: like, no matter what I try, the apps that make the usb stick bootable are not allowing me to use the mount point, /media/disk
[17:30] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: apt-get install libmeanwhile1 libmeanwhile1-dev
[17:31] <dr_willis> unr3a1,  perhaps it wants the /media/DEVICENAME
[17:31] <amikrop> Can somebody send me /usr/share/app-install/icons/supertux.png (or .xpm) please, because I deleted it by mistake?
[17:31] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: sorry.. i had that a little worng
[17:31] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, I got it.. thx
[17:31] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: apt-get install libmeanwhile1 libmeanwhile-dev
[17:31] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, it compiled for me
[17:31] <joejc> anyone know how to use an ipod as an external hd and install ubuntu on it
[17:31] <CntryTrousrTrout> soundray: same thing glitchy, pausey, laggy, and no sound lol
[17:31] <soundray> amikrop: just reinstall the package that installed it
[17:32] <whyameye> ever since I switched to FF/ubuntu I've had this problem with flash have some flash menus etc. showing up BELOW jpgs etc. on a web page when they are supposed to be on top. Any known fix for this?
[17:32] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, all is well  ;)
[17:32] <soundray> CntryTrousrTrout: have you tried disabling compiz?
[17:32] <whyameye> another example: http://www.robotshop.us/
[17:32] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: ahhh, ok! cool. now, how did you get past the gtk2 headers? that's the last thing i was aware that you were stuck on
[17:32] <amikrop> soundray: that didn't work
[17:32] <RizR> Is there a way to move windows to the other monitor if I have a dual head setup? system is ubuntu8.10/gnome/compiz/nvidia (proprietry)
[17:32] <tiyowan> thebloggu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/90950/ <- This is what your xorg.conf should look like.
[17:32] <soundray> amikrop: what didn't work?
[17:33] <CntryTrousrTrout> soundray: yeah last night
[17:33] <ackbahr> Thanks all, see you!
[17:33] <soundray> CntryTrousrTrout: sorry, I'm out of suggestions then
[17:33] <amikrop> soundray: to reinstall the package it installed it
[17:33] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, like Pici said.. I ran the build-dep for pidgin and it everything else I needed.  Which happened to be alot.
[17:33] <amikrop> soundray: no package installed it. it was there by default
[17:33] <CntryTrousrTrout> soundray: well the way I did it was through appearance and back to default appearance no the extra .. within compiz itself is there a checkbox to disable all compiz for time being?
[17:33] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, which funny, because I thought since I hadn
[17:34] <amikrop> soundray: can you send it to me, please?
[17:34] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: ahhh, i see. i have to remember that... build-dep!
[17:34] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, purged the old pidgin.. then the deps would still be there
[17:34] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: you already install it?
[17:34] <joejc> are my questions so hard no one can answer them??
[17:34] <tiyowan> !patience
[17:35] <dethstar> I had the old version installed.. but the tray icon kept on crashing.  So I wanted to try and compile the new one
[17:35] <CntryTrousrTrout> soundray: honestly I believe it's crappy firefox
[17:35] <soundray> amikrop: I don't have it
[17:35] <amikrop> ok
[17:35] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: roger... did you already install it. did you install it with make install? or some other way?
[17:35] <Neppord> hi
[17:35] <amikrop> soundray: ok
[17:35] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, yes.. make install
[17:35] <amikrop> soundray: Super Tux does not have an icon in the menu. What can I do?
[17:36] <Jaikkuli> hi all, can someone direct me in the right direction to running 32bit software on 64bit ubuntu? 8.10 to be specific
[17:36] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, well, it's still compiling.. but it looks like it should work.
[17:36] <fosco__> Jaikkuli, nothing special, just run the executable
[17:36] <whyameye> Jaikkuli: check out getlibs.
[17:36] <onetinsoldier> dethstar: roger. for future reference, i highly recommend using 'checkinstall' to install source packages. ;-)
[17:36] <joejc> im being patent i just want to know if anyone can help me?
[17:36] <soundray> amikrop: copy it from /usr/share/games/pixmaps to the location where it's missing.
[17:36] <whyameye> Jaikkuli: and lib-ia32 or something like that.
[17:36] <Hangwire> hi people.
[17:37] <DRebellion> Jaikkuli, I'm pretty sure you can run it just like any other executable
[17:37] <Hangwire> I have a question.
[17:37] <Jaikkuli> DRebellion, well i cannot seem to
[17:37] <tiyowan> thebloggu: http://paste.ubuntu.com/90950/ <- This is what your xorg.conf should look like. You still there, buddy?
[17:37] <soundray> Jaikkuli: what specifically are you trying to run?
[17:37] <Neppord> is there somebody who can give me a fast hint on where to find how compatible the ATI Radeon HD 4550 card is with Ubuntu and compiz fusion?
[17:37] <amikrop> soundray: it isn't there
[17:37] <thebloggu> tiyowan, yes
[17:37] <dethstar> onetinsoldier, yeah.. i saw that in the INSTALL notes. Thx.

[17:37] <krekiere> Hi, does the acer better in the crashed of ubuntu's installation ? *_*
[17:37] <soundray> amikrop: then you should 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install supertux-data'
[17:37] <soundray> Jaikkuli: please don't use that.
[17:37] <Hangwire> Could i try xfce on Ubuntu with Gnome? and how?

[17:38] <DRebellion> Neppord, there is the free driver ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver ), and the nonfree ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI )
[17:38] <Hangwire> fosco_, how can i switch back to Gnome?
[17:38] <Jaikkuli> soundray, fair enough, thanks

[17:39] <DRebellion> christianp, sorry, i've never done it myself.
[17:39] <robophred> christianp I did that ages ago.  if the computer has network boot in bios use that
[17:40] <Hangwire> fosco_, i see, so my Gnome settings like themes, etc, wont get deleted and i can switch back to gnome from gdm?
[17:40] <robophred> christianp if it doesnt, you can probably find a floppy sized network boot tool somewhere, but I dont know of any
[17:40] <christianp> whyameye, i robophred but i need another server in the same network... and i read it's not so simply
[17:40] <christianp> ;)
[17:40] <Hangwire> fosco_, i see, so my Gnome settings like themes, etc, wont get deleted and i can switch back to gnome from gdm?
[17:40] <Tsuroerusu> Hey, I'm trying to setup my media center PC (Uses Radeon HD3200 onboard graphics) but by default it insists on using 1080p as the resolution, but I have a 720p TV, how do I force it to use 720p or 1280x720 ?
[17:41] <tonyyarusso> christianp: how come you couldn't do it from the floppy?
[17:41] <christianp> robophred, a netinstall will be nice...
[17:41] <robophred> christianp it was actually relatively easy for me, although I did screw up the hp network printer in the process
[17:41] <thebloggu> sorry tiyowan just a minute
[17:41] <Torne> when i set my screen resolution to 1920x1080 all fonts below a certain size become hideously ugly. They look fine at 1360x768...
[17:41] <tiyowan> thebloggu: I'm here, buddy.
[17:41] <robophred> christianp if I recall properly, I did it from a guide in the ubuntu wiki
[17:41] <Hangwire> fosco_ , i see, so my Gnome settings like themes, etc, wont get deleted and i can switch back to gnome from gdm?
[17:41] <christianp> tonyyarusso, i try using DSL, but it freeze (kernel panic)
[17:42] <christianp> i try robo
[17:42] <robophred> it was my very first ubuntu install, on a laptop with a broken cd drive and a battery life of 1.7 minutes
[17:42] <christianp> thanks
[17:42] <amikrop> soundray: thanks
[17:42] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: so.. what did you guys find out for thebloggu ?
[17:42] <isle85> hello, I have a pb but I read a message that could be the fix I was looking for. The pb is that I don't understand where to "boot with a parameter irqfixup". someone could help ?
[17:42] <energY_> How do I share a printer using cups?
[17:42] <thebloggu> tiyowan, done, logging in now
[17:42] <hwilde> isle85, does your systme boot or not
[17:42] <fosco__> Hangwire, nothing will be deleted
[17:42] <isle85> yeap
[17:42] <unr3a1_> how do I mount an ISO to my virtual cdrom drive?
[17:43] <soundray> !mountiso | unr3a1_
[17:43] <hwilde> isle85, open a terminal type "gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[17:43] <tonyyarusso> christianp: DSL on the floppy?  Not just a bootloader?
[17:43] <Hangwire> fosco__ thank you for the help :)
[17:43] <thebloggu> tiyowan, exactly the same..
[17:43] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: Well, we're trying a custom-made xorg.conf file.
[17:43] <joejc> on the boot loader screen it has the os version followed by the kernal version can and change the kernal?
[17:43] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: roger.
[17:43] <isle85> hwilde: yes, but I read that : "Dead USB after startup"  				 				Re: Dead USB after strartup!
[17:43] <isle85>  			 		   		 		 		 	Quote: 	 	 		 			 				 					Originally Posted by jcaveman 					 				 				If your booting with the noapic option, you might want to add irqfixup to the boot options.

Adding irqfixup to the boot options kept the usb ports from being disabled.
[17:43] <christianp> tonyyarusso, i can't understand... it's too difficult for me :(
[17:43] <robophred> is there a channel for c  compiler help?  gcc is throwing strange errors at me
[17:43] <robophred> apparently const unsigned int is not const
[17:43] <hwilde> isle85, open a terminal type "gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst"
[17:43] <endro_> #kpli-bogor
[17:43] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Try changing the resolution from nvidia settings?
[17:44] <thebloggu> tiyowan, yes
[17:44] <tonyyarusso> christianp: what is too difficult?
[17:44] <mib_gzov5guf> Hello All
[17:44] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Ok. Last try. *Reboot* your system, then try to change the resolution from nvidia settings again. And check whether it's detecting it as an LCD now.
[17:45] <christianp> tonyyarusso, i make a boot floppy... it starts a system... and then? how can i boot fromusb?
[17:45] <xaeroe> is it possible to get smooth fullscreen flash video with 8.10 x64?  i tried the plugin from synaptic and the alpha.  regular size is ok, fullscreen is extremely choppy
[17:45] <thebloggu> tiyowan, ok
[17:45] <hischild> How can i let a script execute a command on a remote box via SSH? Got passwordless login.
[17:45] <isle85> This is the problem hwilde : I typed what you said
[17:46] <thebloggu> tiyowan, mayve a just should change to 8.04
[17:46] <soundray> hischild: 'ssh username@remotehost /path/to/script'
[17:46] <christianp> tonyyarusso, it asks for the kind of boot i want to do (a lot of options)
[17:46] <christianp> but now?
[17:46] <hischild> soundray, the /path/to/script can be on the remote server?
[17:46] <hwilde> isle85, ok good so now you have a text editor right ?
[17:46] <tonyyarusso> christianp: A few questions:  a) can your system read CDs but not boot them, or does it have no CD at all?  b) how old is the system (approx.)?
[17:46] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Give the reboot a shot first, then let me know how that went.
[17:46] <soundray> hischild: yes
[17:46] <hischild> soundray, and anything can be done as long as no user input is required, correct?
[17:46] <christianp> tonyyarusso, it have no cd
[17:47] <isle85> hwilde: yes, but where to add that parameter ? which line ?
[17:47] <Neppord> DRebellion: what about this driver(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonHD)
[17:47] <christianp> i don't know how old isit
[17:47] <mib_gzov5guf> I've recently installed ubunto 8.10, when I try to activate Nvidia drivers, I get an empty error message and nothing happens what the problem?
[17:47] <christianp> i boot from floppy and now dsl is wating for my choose in a "boot:" prompt
[17:47] <joejc> whats command to edit grub?
[17:47] <hischild> mib_gzov5guf, you have to update first. Go to the update screen and click on reload.
[17:47] <hwilde> isle85, you are looking for a line near the top that says # kopt
[17:47] <christianp> now how can i say "starts from usb?"
[17:47] <ks> what's good way to set JAVA_HOME in ubuntu, in centos i have /alternative?
[17:48] <mib_gzov5guf> before updating the system, no dialog box appeared
[17:48] <ks> is /etc/profile a good way?
[17:48] <hwilde> isle85, delete the # sign so that line is uncommented, then add your irqfixup to the list of options
[17:48] <DRebellion> Neppord, interesting... I don't think I've come across that one before. Looks good.
[17:48] <CntryTrousrTrout> soundray: do you know why my firefox doesn't have this location? /etc/firefox/firefoxrc . I am using firefox 3.0 though I do think I'm going to try to add command FIREFOX_DSP="aoss"
[17:48] <tonyyarusso> christianp: *Approximately* how old?  I'm trying to figure out if it can just boot USB natively.
[17:48] <tonyyarusso> christianp: DSL is the wrong floppy to use for this.
[17:48] <christianp> no it can't
[17:48] <soundray> hischild: if you wanted to run X programs via the ssh link, you'd have to ssh -X
[17:48] <isle85> hwilde: is it this one ? : # defoptions=quiet splash
[17:48] <hwilde> isle85, you are looking for a line near the top that says # kopt
[17:48] <christianp> tonyyarusso, ah,ok
[17:49] <soundray> hischild: user interaction isn't normally a problem
[17:49] <hwilde> isle85, # kopt=root=UUID=a608355f-cfbe-4627-a7b3-c83942161322 ro
[17:49] <christianp> so, what other?
[17:49] <tonyyarusso> christianp: all right.  Let me double-check whether a utility does USB - brb.
[17:49] <thebloggu> tiyowan, the same
[17:49] <isle85> hwilde: ok, I saw it. What to do if I can't boot with that new option
[17:49] <tiyowan> thebloggu: I'm out of ideas then. :(
[17:50] <joejc> any  one know the command to edit grub???
[17:50] <thebloggu> tiyowan, me too
[17:50] <The_Joe_> thebloggu, No luck?
[17:50] <thebloggu> Gnea, onetinsoldier other ideas ?
[17:50] <thebloggu> The_Joe_, no
[17:50] <sysdoc> Firefox>What is the switch to have it open with the profile manager?
[17:50] <soundray> CntryTrousrTrout: that's old advice, it doesn't apply to version 3
[17:50] <mogra> joejc: JFGI, http://www.google.com/search?q=edit+grub
[17:50] <hwilde> isle85, well you could/should try it manually first, if you hit ESC to get into grub, hit down to the kernel line, hit E to edit, go to the end of hte line and add the option you want to test, hit enter to boot.  if it works, make it permanent in the file
[17:51] <hischild> soundray, I've got my laptop and pc tightly integrated with each other, but now i want to automate the features i've implemented so far. The audio is send to the pc from the laptop, file sharing via sshfs from pc to laptop and vice versa is running and synergy for a single keyboard/mouse for both. I can do all of this in a single script, but i prefer to only have to run 1 script instead of 2.
[17:51] <thebloggu> joejc, gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[17:51] <ks> uh never mind i'll use /etc/environment
[17:51] <sysdoc> !firefox profile manager
[17:51] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Could you type xrandr from a terminal btw? Does it show only two resolutions?
[17:51] <joejc> thank you
[17:51] <CntryTrousrTrout> soundray: ok well I already did the apt-get install alsa-oss what is that? cause I already had newest alsa lol
[17:51] <isle85> hwilde: ok, thanks.
[17:51] <Armored_Azrael> Anyone know how to get Xilinx FPGA USB Programmer drivers?
[17:51] <sysdoc> !firefox
[17:52] <thebloggu> tiyowan, yes
[17:52] <christianp> tonyyarusso, i try feather linux, with the same problem
[17:52] <tonyyarusso> christianp: It looks like it does, provided that your BIOS is new enough to at least understand the presence of the USB drive.
[17:52] <bidossessi> christianp, what problem?
[17:52] <christianp> it's waiting for a choice
[17:52] <christianp> boot:
[17:52] <The_Joe_> joejc, As root!
[17:52] <The_Joe_> joejc, And backup first
[17:52] <tonyyarusso> christianp: The floppy you want to make is SBM - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManager.  You will then prepare the USB drive with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick.  Alternatively, you could look into any of the network options listed at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation#Server%20and%20network%20installations.
[17:53] <thebloggu> tiyowan, i'll try to set 1280x1024 with xrandr
[17:53] <soundray> CntryTrousrTrout: do you not have audio in firefox at all?
[17:53] <CntryTrousrTrout> soundray: None
[17:53] <Hangwire> what do i need to type to get XFCE desktop environment from the repos?
[17:53] <bidossessi> christianp, does your bios allow booting from usb?
[17:53] <Hangwire> sudo apt-get ... ?
[17:53] <christianp> bidossessi, no
[17:54] <hischild> Hangwire, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[17:54] <Hangwire> hischild, thanks.
[17:54] <Eurysilas> OK, I am getting highspeed for the first time in my life. It is DSL, complete with a Westell VersaLink Model 327W modem. What do I need to know, and do you guys need the ISP?
[17:54] <tiyowan> thebloggu: I'm sorry, mate. I'm out of ideas on this atm.
[17:54] <bidossessi> christianp, does your support legacy usb devices
[17:54] <sinan> how i can tell diff to exclude particular pathes (as opposed to particular file names)?
[17:54] <bidossessi> christianp, does your bios support legacy usb devices?
[17:54] <Sonic93> Can you be banned here just like I was banned from #fedora?
[17:54] <whyameye> synaptic tells me I have flash10 but firefox plugins tells me flash9. ?
[17:54] <thebloggu> tiyowan, ill try something from here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution
[17:54] <hwilde> !fixres
[17:54] <soundray> CntryTrousrTrout: have you tried playing simple plain audio, such as the pronunciation guides on answers.com?
[17:54] <hwilde> try that ^^
[17:54] <christianp> bidossessi, how can i check this?
[17:55] <hwilde> Sonic93, just behave yourself
[17:55] <Sonic93> Ok. No offtopic, then.
[17:55] <Sonic93> Right?
[17:55] <hwilde> !ot
[17:55] <bidossessi> christianp, it should be part of your bios options, depends on what mobo you have
[17:55] <hwilde> Sonic93, /join #ubuntu-offtopic if you want to random chatter
[17:55] <unr3a1_> soundray: thank you for the info on mounting iso images.  it is much appreciated
[17:55] <CntryTrousrTrout> soundray: Okay now that did have sound
[17:55] <soundray> unr3a1_ yw
[17:56] <Sonic93> Thanks for telling me beforehand, ubottu. I was a martyr on #fedora.
[17:56] <bidossessi> !bot
[17:56] <hischild> Sonic93, ubottu is our channel bot. He ain't no person. :-) anyway, to offtopic :)
[17:56] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Yep. That might work. Does xrandr enable you to switch to higher resolutions?
[17:56] <sjust1216> has anyone had problems with nvidia drives after update to the latest kernel
[17:56] <mogra> most distro rooms on freenode don't like off-topic, Sonic93
[17:56] <sjust1216> drivers*
[17:56] <soundray> CntryTrousrTrout: in that case, leave audio well alone -- your problem is just Flash
[17:56] <KST_> hi
[17:56] <bidossessi> sjust1216, not really, why?
[17:57] <hischild> certain sounds with pulse audio sound "cracky" or with a bit of noise. \
[17:57] <sjust1216> they wont load
[17:57] <soundray> CntryTrousrTrout: unfortunately, I have no idea how to attack it. Please ask the channel again, mentioning that plain audio works and video is choppy.
[17:57] <KST_> '
[17:57] <KST_> "
[17:57] <KST_> "
[17:57] <CntryTrousrTrout> soundray: Thx for ur time :)
[17:57] <bidossessi> sjust1216, did you run your upgrade after your distro-upgrade?
[17:57] <KST_> \
[17:58] <istofix> Hello all
[17:58] <sjust1216> nope just regular updates
[17:58] <eli_> How do I convert 6 channel flac to dts in ubuntu?
[17:58] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: sorry, no ideas here. that bug(error message) has to get resolved first
[17:58] <istofix> when using Synaptic Package Manage to install nvidia driver I get the following error:
[17:58] <istofix> E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the download directory
[17:58] <Eurysilas> OK, I am getting highspeed for the first time in my life. It is DSL, complete with a Westell VersaLink Model 327W modem. What do I need to know, and do you guys need the ISP?
[17:58] <hischild> !apt-fix | istofix
[17:58] <sjust1216> tried envy and the ones from repository
[17:58] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: No luck with thebloggu yet. Now I'm thinking maybe it's a known issue or something. Reconfiguring x shouldn't give that symbol error.
[17:59] <bidossessi> sjust1216, i didn't do anything, special, just ran the distribution upgrade, and all was working...
[17:59] <sjust1216> I'll give it a try
[17:59] <CntryTrousrTrout> Does anyone know why when I watch movies from websites the video has no sound and the video is also choppy. Although plain audio does work in the browser itself.
[17:59] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: well, did you ever read the link i gave? about the known bug?
[17:59] <bidossessi> sjust1216, so maybe you could remove whatever you have installed, clean up your cache and start from scratch (just with nvidia of couser :))
[17:59] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: nvm... i see what you're saying now
[17:59] <thebloggu> tiyowan, no luck
[18:00] <sjust1216> working on it
[18:00] <bidossessi> good luck
[18:00] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: still did you read that link i gave?

[18:01] <unr3a1_> I am out*
[18:01] <unr3a1_> I will see you guys later
[18:01] <unr3a1_> thank you again for all the help
[18:01] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: I did skim over it. But I was a bit excited because I got a lot of posts on that card and display being fixable. I'll take another look at that link again. Thanks, mate. :)
[18:02] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: roger that. i understand about getting excited too, believe me
[18:03] <KST343> hi
[18:03] <topsub> i am trying to install webmin in ubuntu jeos and i keep getting dpkg-deb: 'webmin_1441_all.deb' is not a debian format archive.   how can i install webmin?
[18:03] <hischild> !webmin | topsub
[18:03] <hischild> topsub, are you running intrepid or hardy?
[18:03] <KST343> ..
[18:03] <KST343> what
[18:03] <Ad_> topusb,apt-get install webmin
[18:03] <topsub> 8.04
[18:04] <Eurysilas> OK, I am getting highspeed for the first time in my life. It is DSL, complete with a Westell VersaLink Model 327W modem. What do I need to know, and do you guys need the ISP?
[18:04] <hischild> Ad_, did you even read that factoid i just gave?
[18:04] <istofix> I tried : sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a
[18:04] <hischild> !ebox | topsub
[18:04] <BacTalan> I'm trying to install Ubuntu off a flash drive, but the installer doesn't show any of my drives when it gets to the partition menu
[18:04] <istofix> still I'm getting the same error message: E: Could not get lock /var/cache/apt/archives/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the download directory
[18:05] <thebloggu> tiyowan, Gnea onetinsoldier i'll just install 8.04 thank you everyone for the time consume
[18:05] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: There's a possible fix there...hmmm....
[18:05] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: ok, good luck. you'll probably have better luck with your hardware with 8.04 ;-)
[18:05] <tiyowan> thebloggu: You *could* try renaming /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vga_drv.so to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vga_drv.so.off, then following onetinsoldier's steps again to see whether you get an auto-generated xorg.conf file.
[18:06] <topsub> can i do a sudo apt-get install ebox?
[18:06] <thebloggu> tiyowan, ok, last try how ?
[18:06] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: you might wait for one very last try! tiyowan says there might be a possible fix there. he 's reading about the bug right now
[18:06] <thebloggu> onetinsoldier, ok
[18:06] <Jack_Sparrow> BacTalan Are you following our tutorial on how to do that?
[18:07] <Jack_Sparrow> topsub ebox seems to have some issues as well as webmin..
[18:07] <topsub> does ebox work the same as webmin?
[18:07] <tiyowan> thebloggu: First, rename the file /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vga_drv.so to /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vga_drv.so.off.
[18:07] <thebloggu> can i do that from command line ? how ?
[18:07] <topsub> lol so seems there isn't a good solution for this huh?
[18:07] <hischild> Jack_Sparrow, it's broken on intrepid, though the latest version seems to work fine even on intrepid.
[18:07] <ringo> hola
[18:07] <qwerty2008> hi there, I just uninstalled pulseaudio, why is "PulseAudio Sound Server" still showing up as an available choice in Sound Preferences?
[18:08] <Jack_Sparrow> hischild Correct, just wanted to highlight those concerns to him/her
[18:08] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: mv /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vga_drv.so /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/vga_drv.so.off
[18:08] <hischild> Jack_Sparrow, good point made.
[18:08] <linuxkrn> hey guys, can someone verify that on 8.04 policykit files are incorrectly grouped to avahi (120) and not policykituser (122) ?
[18:08] <linuxkrn> oh, and btw they are in /usr/lib/policykit
[18:08] <jeff008> hello every body, i try to install hardy server with lvm2 ...  Is there any body who can help me? thank U for help ;)
[18:08] <thebloggu> onetinsoldier, done
[18:09] <tiyowan> thebloggu: After renaming the file. Try onetinsoldier's steps again.
[18:09] <tiyowan> thebloggu: 1) determine what display_manager you use with --> cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager 2) log out of x-windows 3) Ctrl+Alt+F1 4) login to the console terminal 4) sudo invoke-rc.d <display_manager> stop (ie invoke-rc.d gdm stop, this shuts down x-windows completely) 5) sudo Xorg -configure (this command should create a full xorg.conf.new file in the root users home directory) 6) make a backup of your old xorg.co
[18:09] <hischild> Linuturk_, look fine for me
[18:09] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: ok.. cool. follow tiyowan's lead

[18:14] <thebloggu> onetinsoldier, tiyowan it created a corg.conf file in my home

[18:14] <Sonic93> In what way is Ubuntu better than Fedora?
[18:14] <tiyowan> thebloggu: That's good. :) Could you paste that file?
[18:14] <hischild> Sonic93, you know you shouldn't take polls here.
[18:14] <nalioth> Sonic93: #ubuntu-offtopic would be a better place for that question
[18:14] <Sonic93> hischild: No I don't. I just got on here.
[18:14] <onetinsoldier> thebloggu: roger that... now, copy that file to /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[18:14] <Sonic93> Ok.

[18:15] <joejc> is it possible to downgrade ubuntu?
[18:15] <thebloggu> onetinsoldier, tiyowan wait.. now it is not using nvidia driver

[18:15] <The_Joe_> Sonic93, Stop arguing and ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:15] <tiyowan> thebloggu: nvm that. Could you pastebin that file, please?
[18:16] <jyuuenpan> bich

[18:25] <hspaans> bulio: its just zfs with snapshots btw
[18:25] <bulio> hspaans: I know, but I haven't seen that in Linux
[18:25] <Delvien> tiyowan: going through it now trying to manually install 180 drivers
[18:26] <bulio> I know OSX has something similar, but I've yet to see it on Linux
[18:26] <tiyowan> Delvien: Good luck.
[18:26] <hspaans> bulio: OSX used the GNU design mostly ;-)
[18:26] <Delvien> tiyowan: it workes :)

[18:28] <Flare183> !xorg | tiyowan
[18:29] <MatBoy> has anyone an howto for Ubuntu with LVM on softraid during the install ?
[18:29] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: yes.. it's   dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[18:29] <[TiZ]> Can anyone help me migrate my mail from Evolution to Claws Mail?
[18:29] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: Thanks.
[18:29] <onetinsoldier> yep
[18:29] <Flare183> [TiZ]: I might be able too
[18:30] <[TiZ]> Flare183: Excellent. Please do. :)
[18:30] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Ok, buddy, time for surgery again. :) But this time we're operating on a good file, so hopefully this should work. "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[18:30] <nexus23> i have an empty external hard drive that i want to use as a backup what do i need to do ?
[18:30] <thebloggu> need to stop x ?
[18:30] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Yes.
[18:30] <[TiZ]> Flare183: Would you prefer to do it via private message?
[18:30] <michelecs_> Hi. After resizing my swap partition, Hibernation is not working any more. Any idea?
[18:30] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: whoa.. i do believe that will get rid of the good file? will it not?
[18:30] <Flare183> [TiZ]: That would be fine
[18:30] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: make a backup of it first
[18:31] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: Eh, yes. :) I need tea, too.
[18:31] <hspaans> [TiZ]: its on the website of claws
[18:31] <joejc> nexus23, why not just drag files?
[18:31] <nexus23> its completely empty
[18:31] <thebloggu> onetinsoldier, tiyowan uups, started already
[18:31] <nexus23> no partitions no nothing
[18:31] <hspaans> michelecs_: swap is smaller then you memory?
[18:32] <nexus23> should i format in ntfs or ext3
[18:32] <tiyowan> thebloggu: It's ok. I've got your xorg.conf pastebin. Did the dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg cmd start?
[18:32] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan and thebloggu: well the original copy of might still be in your home directory
[18:32] <onetinsoldier> of it*
[18:32] <joejc> nexus23, i dont think it matters if ur just using it for backup
[18:32] <thebloggu> onetinsoldier, tiyowan :P it switched to what it was previously
[18:33] <thebloggu> very simple xorg :P
[18:33] <michelecs_> hspaans: No, it was about double, but I made it even larger because sometimes I was told "Not enough Swap Space" when hibernating
[18:33] <joejc> nexus23, what r u going to back up?
[18:34] <nexus23> movies music etc
[18:34] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Doesn't it ask you any questions?
[18:34] <thebloggu> yes, only for the keyboard
[18:34] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Not for the display?
[18:34] <rioch> I've connected to a samba share, but where is it mounted? In file manager it shows up as smb://blah blah but another application that I want to point to that path doesn't understand smb.
[18:34] <thebloggu> no
[18:35] <daniboy> i tried fdisk yet i still dont see my sd card there, why? do i need drivers or something for it?
[18:35] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Hmm.
[18:36] <andax> what is the ubuntu way to configure wlan to come up automatically on boot? I don't like this 'windowmanager handles network' thing. I know how to set it up and all, I'm just asking if there is an 'ubuntu way' like setting it up using a gui or something. ?
[18:36] <shausam27> hi
[18:36] <Org-Mode> lol what is the "ubuntu way"?
[18:36] <n8tuser> andax -> man interfaces
[18:37] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan and thebloggu: perhaps he should use the file created by the Xorg -configure command, then add the Screens section from that post you found that had the same monitor as he does? i dunno
[18:37] <Seveas> Org-Mode, first street on the left from main street ;)
[18:37] <Org-Mode> haha
[18:37] <joejc> nexus23, id use ntsf so if ur using a windows machine you can still use it
[18:37] <michelecs_> hspaans: Found it! I need to update the UID in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/resume
[18:37] <MatBoy> is it possible to have LVM over raid during the install ?
[18:38] <tiyowan> onetinsoldier: Good point.
[18:38] <onetinsoldier> tiyowan: yeah, but for all i know they're already the same.
[18:38] <thakiddoo> I just installed 8.10 on 3 laptops of different models (all dell though). when i hit fn+up, fn+dn or volume up and down, the screen locks on me.  unable to input from keyboard or usethings like the application, places or system menu UNTIL i reload gnome via Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+f7.  anybody know of this?
[18:38] <shausam27> how do i put sercurty on some of my flies so you have to type in a password
[18:38] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Could you post the old xorg.conf file again; the one auto-generated? (not the small one) I'll edit it and get back to you.
[18:39] <andax> Org-Mode: this ubuntu thing seems to be aimed at the complete newbie, it even setup my mobile broadband in 2 seconds after connecting the phone, everything is working out-of-the box, zero errors... so it seems to be that there should be a way to configure wireless to come up at an earlier runlevel without needing to create a startup script for it.
[18:39] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Oh wait. I have it here. Wait one
[18:39] <thebloggu> tiyowan, ok thank you
[18:39] <Seveas> andax, set it as 'system setting' in NM. There are no runlevels to speak of in ubuntu
[18:40] <andax> Seveas, thank you
[18:40] <tobi> tobi
[18:40] <Seveas> andax, (yes, runlevel 0, 1 and 6 are there but 2345 are all the same)

[18:42] <Twile> Hello
[18:42] <Seveas> hello Twile
[18:42] <mnemonic76> How can I run the keyboard layout detection after installation?
[18:42] <theKid_> Got Disconnected.  Sorry to repeat:  I just installed 8.10 on 3 laptops of different models (all dell though). when i hit fn+up, fn+dn or volume up and down, the screen locks on me.  unable to input from keyboard or usethings like the application, places or system menu UNTIL i reload gnome via Ctrl+Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Alt+f7.  anybody know of this?
[18:42] <shausam27> is there a way to put a password on some of my flies
[18:42] <andax> Seveas, thanks for the help, now off to reboot and see if it comes up :)
[18:43] <mnemonic76> The one that asks all the questions to determine the keybd layout.
[18:43] <Seveas> andax, let me know, I've never tried it :)
[18:43] <Seveas> damn
[18:43] <Twile> shausam27: Compact your files into an archive
[18:43] <Twile> then you can password protect the archive
[18:43] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Overwrite your xorg.conf with this http://paste.ubuntu.com/90996/, then try.
[18:43] <Seveas> mnemonic76, system -> prefs -> keyboard comes close but it doesn't ask the questions. It does show pictures of layouts though so you can compare
[18:43] <n8tuser> shausam27 -> will the use of ACL help?
[18:44] <Twile> I usually just use zip files the most because of compatability with other operating systems
[18:44] <gyroscope> how can i disable "install missing plug-in" message in firefox?
[18:44] <hallowname> XcoreChicken: sup?
[18:44] <Seveas> gyroscope, closest answer I know is: go to about:config and try to find the option :)
[18:44] <mnemonic76> seveas: I am using openbox (a minimal setup) is there a terminal command to launch that app?
[18:45] <Org-Mode> Seveas: were you gone for awhile? I remember you from a while back, havent seen you up until just today...
[18:45] <Seveas> mnemonic76, there is, but I don't know it, sorry :)
[18:45] <XcoreChicken> hallowname: nuthn much you
[18:45] <gyroscope> Seveas, ok i'm try :)
[18:45] <Seveas> Org-Mode, I
[18:45] <hallowname> XcoreChicken: back to #GNU_SPOT :P
[18:45] <mnemonic76> Thanks I will try to find!
[18:45] <Seveas> Org-Mode, I've been gone for about 8 months
[18:45] <Org-Mode> wow
[18:45] <thebloggu> tiyowan, the same
[18:45] <Org-Mode> well welcome back :)
[18:45] <Seveas> :)

[18:49] <thebloggu> tiyowan, im out of ideas too
[18:49] <tiyowan> thebloggu: I'd try asking ikonia.
[18:49] <antares> ikonia: lol... thanks

[18:49] <antares> ikonia: for your help

[18:49] <antares> that could know the answer
[18:50] <antares> so i type anyone? :P
[18:50] <thebloggu> ikonia, are you aware of my problem that i stated here ?
[18:50] <forevertheuni> hi all i'm starting teamspeak with aoss, however the sound from other peeps comes with breaks/distorted, so easy question is there any way to improve it? My mic is going well to everyone else. And i've removed pulseaudio, it was creating a lot of problems

[18:52] <tiyowan> ikonia: Could you take a look at thebloggu's problem? We've been trying to fix it for hours now, but with no success. He's running Intrepid with a Geforce4 4200 Ti. Originally, he was using the envy drivers, but that caused his display to distort. After installing the binary drivers, his system detects his LCD as a CRT. Trying dpkg reconfigure came up with a symbol error. But we found a fix for that. He's stuck at low reso

[18:54] <donavan_> RobotCow: yeah I know you can do it that way but when I try to open something from the firefox download window (opening it from the net rather than saving to disc first) it always brings up totem which has yet to play anything I have tried with it
[18:54] <ikonia> thebloggu: thats not ubuntu's page
[18:54] <thebloggu> ikonia, it's pointed by https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[18:54] <ikonia> I thought because of compiz and some driver versions that where shipped gefore 4 was dropped

[18:55] <pegi> hi
[18:55] <tiyowan> ikonia: After installing those drivers, dpkg reconfugure gave this error: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/265035, but that was fixed by following the workaround in one of the comments itself.
[18:55] <c0p3rn1c> joejc: what kind of video card do you have ?
[18:55] <RobotCow> donavan_, send me a link so i can see if mine opens with totem

[19:15] <malianx> c0p3rn1c, alsa does it better
[19:15] <c0p3rn1c> shanenvy: open a terminal and sudo apt-get install glxgears;glxgears
[19:15] <mphill> c0p3rn1c: pulseaudio is mostly broken most of the time still imho
[19:15] <jeff008> then i make a part /boot 500 mo primary ext3

[19:16] <sara-> howd i do that via ssh?
[19:16] <shanenvy> But it wont let me!
[19:17] <shanenvy> My computer is weird.
[19:17] <jeff008> ?

[19:17] <ikonia> thebloggu: tell me if you see an nvidia logo when xorg starts
[19:17] <amen51> hi, i have a question about grub
[19:18] <amen51> i have used grub-update to update my menu.lst
[19:18] <malianx> C0nn0R, I think 04 comes with pulse, but pulse is buggy
[19:18] <hspaans> jeff008: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/downloadmirrors#alternate
[19:18] <jeff008> i don't know if i must make pv like sudo pvcreate /dev/sda2
[19:18] <amen51> but grub does not seem to be using the file, is it possible that and older version is cached somewhere? and is being used
[19:19] <shanenvy> Will I be able to use the cube thing?
[19:19] <hspaans> jeff008: that installer has what you need
[19:19] <ikonia> amen51: how many versions of ubuntu or linux do you have installed on that machine
[19:19] <Gnea> sara-: i'm actually installing it right now
[19:19] <c0p3rn1c> mphill: ´╗┐what is the standard in ubuntu 8.04?
[19:19] <amen51> ikonia, there are many kernels
[19:19] <jeff008> ok i try it hspaans ;)
[19:19] <tiyowan> thebloggu: Hey mate, I'm back. Any luck on your problem yet?
[19:19] <amen51> and two versions of ubuntu
[19:19] <sara-> Gnea, on my machine?
[19:19] <ikonia> amen51: how many versions of ubuntu or linux do you have on that machine
[19:20] <amen51> i'm seeing my older menu.lst
[19:20] <ikonia> amen51: are you using a shared /boot partition
[19:20] <thebloggu> ikonia, restarted x and no logo
[19:20] <amen51> no
[19:20] <ikonia> amen51: stop asnwering questions I'm not asking
[19:20] <Gnea> sara-: that's a joke, right?
[19:20] <c0p3rn1c> shanenvy: yes,  check http://compiz-fusion.org
[19:20] <ikonia> amen51: thats the problem then
[19:20] <sara-> no Gnea
[19:20] <amen51> ikonia, what is the problem
[19:20] <Gnea> sara-: why would I install it on your system?
[19:20] <ikonia> amen51: grub is reading the menu.lst from your other /boot partition, this is what happens if you don't set multi-boot up and just blindly install operating systems next to each other
[19:20] <sara-> dunno
[19:21] <ikonia> thebloggu: let me guess, still bad resolution
[19:21] <Gnea> !freenx
[19:21] <thebloggu> ikonia, resolution is equal and nvidia-settings detects the monitor as crt
[19:21] <thebloggu> ikonia, yes
[19:21] <c0p3rn1c> well I got to go
[19:21] <c0p3rn1c> cu later
[19:21] <shanenvy> Wow, it says press ctrl+alt+right arrow to move it...All it does is switch desktops..Desk 1 and Desk 2
[19:21] <Gnea> sara-: the documentation is there, it's very easy to follow, people here use it and it works. you can't go wrong with it.
[19:21] <shanenvy> It doesn't work.
[19:21] <ikonia> thebloggu: I don't think it's using the nvidia driver
[19:21] <ikonia> thebloggu: I think it's falling back to vesa which is why your shaving poor performance
[19:21] <amen51> ikonia, it used be woking
[19:21] <ziroday> shanenvy: by default ubuntu's compiz is not set to use the desktop cube.
[19:21] <crash-> c.arcti.ca
[19:21] <ikonia> amen51: so ?
[19:22] <thebloggu> ikonia, what should i do ?
[19:22] <sara-> well im such a noob first i forget my password for root then i forget my password AND username after i intalled ubuntu (did this twice earlier on today re installing each time simply because i dont/cant do techie things like alter certain files to regain root access) ... so dunno, i might go wrong with it...
[19:22] <ikonia> thebloggu: I can work this through with you, but I can't at this exact seconds as I'm on a slow connection and not long now until I get off a train
[19:22] <amen51> it was reading the menu.lst in /boot on my new partition
[19:22] <ikonia> I can work this through with you in approx 3 minutes
[19:22] <ikonia> amen51: it's not now
[19:22] <amen51> ikonia, ok what do you suggest
[19:22] <ESphynx> hey guys
[19:23] <Alex_Gaynor> I'm having a problem with my laptop(running Ubuntu 8.10) I'm getting very frequent hard crashes(flashing Caps and Scroll lock keys) pretty soon after booting, less then 10 minutes in I would say, what can I do to diagnose this(I'm at a root shell on that machine)
[19:23] <ESphynx> what's the name of the fancy installer that auto get dependencies?
[19:23] <ikonia> amen51: using a shared /boot partition so only one grub version is installed
[19:23] <ziroday> sara-: to find your home partition you can ls -l your /home dir
[19:23] <ikonia> ESphynx: synaptic
[19:23] <ESphynx> thanks ikonia
[19:23] <ESphynx> ikonia: DOes it come with ubuntu by default?
[19:23] <ikonia> thebloggu: 35 minutes sorry
[19:23] <ikonia> ESphynx: yes
[19:23] <sara-> ziroday, anoutherday perhaps
[19:23] <ESphynx> ok cool thanks
[19:23] <ziroday> ESphynx: or the backend which is apt-get
[19:23] <thebloggu> ikonia, ok, can you explain briefly what you intend to do ? maybe i can search information ? or do you think it's better to go 8.04 as i said ?
[19:23] <ikonia> ESphynx: system -> administration -> menu
[19:23] <mnemonic76> seveas: looks like there is a package called keymapper to do what I want... I am trying it now.
[19:23] <ziroday> sara-: what exactly are you trying to do?
[19:24] <sara-> ziroday, i am rather fond of a file system
[19:24] <amen51> ikonia, is there a guide somewhere which i can use to avoid messing up my system
[19:24] <soundray> Alex_Gaynor: it could be overheating, or it could be a RAM problem, or it could be something more obscure. I'd run memtest86 on it for a while first thing
[19:24] <ESphynx> ziroday: right but apt-get doesn't auto get dependencies ...
[19:24] <theatrus> ESphynx, yes it does
[19:24] <theatrus> so does aptitude and synaptic
[19:25] <Alex_Gaynor> soundray: I really hope it's not a heating problem(it's subzero F here :P ), I've run memtest before, for some reason it always freezes up right after I start it, I've replaced RAM 3 times now
[19:25] <ESphynx> theatrus I thought last time I tried it didn't?
[19:25] <ziroday> ESphynx: apt-get installs dependencies as well :), what exactly are you trying to do?
