[05:09] <moleboy> that's why I came here
[05:09] <IgorSobreira> Pelo, well...i've already seen them man....but nothing works here....i 've already asked here before....somebody told me something about "permissions"...do you know how can i configure it?
[05:09] <Pelo> moDumass,   sudo dkpg-reconfigure xorg-conf
[05:09] <usser> nbjayme: !ffmpeg
[05:09] <moleboy> IS there anyone else that knows?
[05:10] <usser> !ffmpeg
[05:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ffmpeg - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:10] <moleboy> *Is
[05:10] <peepsalot> moleboy, knows what?
[05:10] <moleboy> yes?
[05:10] <Pelo> IgorSobreira,  not realy I can only suggest   menu > system > admin > users , select user,  properties  theck the available options
[05:10] <usser> nbjayme: ffmpeg can do pretty much everything too bad it is console based
[05:10] <moleboy> trying to find a dark but noticeable color sorry
[05:10] <moDumass> Pelo, i cant use console
[05:10] <moleboy> there
[05:10] <moleboy> peepsalot
[05:10] <moleboy> I need to get my internet set up
[05:10] <Pelo> moDumass,   boot in recovery mode
[05:10] <moleboy> with a 2wire/dsl/wireless
[05:10] <moleboy> I can't get it set up
[05:11] <moleboy> peepsalot, you there?
[05:11] <peepsalot> hmm, i don't know what a 2wire is, and never used dsl
[05:11] <nbjayme> usser: yes. the thing is that most multimedia apps support those proprietary format in VCD. :(
[05:11] <Bradford> Pelo, It's telling me to unmount any partition using a number higher than /dev/sda8 ... the only other higher is 9, and that's a locked one.... so now what?
[05:11] <Pelo> moleboy, check the forum for usb wireless or usb wifi
[05:11] <az-debian>  ?????can anyone tell me how to configure gnome-mount to load partitions in read-write mode ? ??
[05:11] <moleboy> where is teh forum?
[05:11] <peepsalot> i have setup a USB gigabit ethernet adapter before though, using ndiswrapper
[05:11] <moleboy> ok
[05:12] <Bradford> Pelo, /dev/sda9 is active swap
[05:12] <nbjayme> say I create a ogg format VCD then I just pop it in the CD and totem should recognize it and play. I hope there's an existing spec on this.
[05:12] <Bradford> pelo, how do I unmount it? and why is it active?
[05:12] <Pelo> Bradford,  aren't you in the live cd ?
[05:12] <doojin> I give up startup manager
[05:12] <Bradford> pelo, yes, that's why I'm like wtf
[05:12] <Pelo> Bradford, restart the live cd and donT' start anything else but gparted
[05:13] <nbjayme> playing VCD is still a hit and miss affair and I'm tired of downloading restricted libraries/plugins. :)
[05:13] <moleboy> where is the forums?
[05:13] <codecaine> anybody know a ftp client that let me mv files fromt eh server?
[05:13] <codecaine> the server
[05:13] <Pelo> az-debian,  you mean in fstab ?
[05:13] <IgorSobreira> Pelo, it seems everything is ok in my users and groups...do i need to restart anything to make changes work?....login again?
[05:13] <crdlb> nautilus is a ftp client :)
[05:13] <crdlb> that can do that
[05:13] <Pelo> IgorSobreira, restarting X would not be overkill I gues
[05:14] <az-debian> do i have to have anything in fstab. gnome-mount can work without it.
[05:14] <moDumass> Pelo, i have managed to turn metastacity on
[05:14] <liquiddoom> !vncoverssh
[05:14] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vncoverssh - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:14] <moleboy> where are the forums pelo?
[05:14] <liquiddoom> !vnc
[05:14] <ubotu> VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[05:15] <Pelo> az-debian,  i was just wondering if fstab is what you meant, I donT know gnome-mount
[05:15] <Pelo> moleboy, www.ubuntuforums.com
[05:15] <Pelo> moDumass,   sudo dkpg-reconfigure xorg-conf
[05:15] <az-debian> no i meant gnome-mount

[05:16] <Pelo> az-debian,  man gnome-mount you'll have all the switches,  or man mount as well
[05:16] <Pelo> err0r, can we help you ?
[05:16] <moDumass> pelo, im going to try and fix it rather than defaulting it

[05:17] <zilly66> what's everyone's favorite CD ripper/encoder?
[05:17] <liquiddoom> Pelo: Nah, I'm just working out streaming.
[05:18] <moDumass> Pelo, thanks man
[05:18] <Pelo> zilly66,  we donT rip cds it 's illigal we donT want to get into trouble with the RIAA
[05:18] <iShock> Hello. I am requiring help killing FrostWire, how would I do it?
[05:18] <zilly66> pelo, haha
[05:18] <moDumass> il probably end up doing what you said anyway
[05:18] <mneptok> Pelo: ripping CDs is legal.
[05:18] <Pelo> iShock,   check in the system monitor and kill java
[05:18] <zilly66> pelo, i just grabbed some CDs from the library, the librarian said i can rip em
[05:18] <Pelo> mneptok, thanks for killing my little joke
[05:18] <mneptok> zilly66: i use jRipper
[05:19] <iShock> Uh, no, I'm not killing Java, I only need to kill Frostwire, not about 17 different java games
[05:19] <mneptok> Pelo: i'm *great* at parties :/
[05:19] <LtL> moleboy - a system admin just told me he knew of two ppl that tried 2wire/usb. Avoid it, they went 4 wire.
[05:19] <zilly66> mneptol, what features does it have?
[05:19] <nbjayme> Please let me know of a VCD creation utility that uses ogg format.  The idea is to pop in the ogg format VCD and have totem autoplay.
[05:19] <Pelo> iShock,   frostwire is a sh process,  or try  sudo killall frostwire
[05:19] <mneptok> zilly66: it works?
[05:20] <Miles_Prower> In Ubuntu-PPC 6.10, on an Ibook G4, the mouse takes like 6 goes-across to reach the width of the screen. How can I make it travel further with the same motion?>
[05:20] <mneptok> iShock: you might want to try GTK-Gnutella
[05:20] <mario_> hi
[05:20] <codecaine> cat get natitilus to show the files on the ftp server
[05:20] <iShock> mneptok, I tried, I failed, I use Frostwire.
[05:20] <iShock> frostwire: no process killed
[05:20] <Bradford> pelo, nothing's changed. I rebooted, alt+f2, sudo gparted and.... those same pertitions are locked...
[05:20] <mneptok> iShock: via con dios. IME, Frostwire has become increasingly poorly built
[05:20] <liquiddoom> Miles_Prower: Preferences > Mouse
[05:20] <Pelo> Miles_Prower,  menu > system > prefs > mouse  I believe you can set the mouse motion in there
[05:20] <mario_> can somebody please give me some help about 3d games?????
[05:21] <biovore> what game?
[05:21] <liquiddoom> mario_: Running them?
[05:21] <zilly66> mneptol, is cdda2wav better than paranoia?
[05:21] <mario_> the thing is
[05:21] <Pelo> Bradford, pick one of the nested linux swap partitons ,  right click remove ( just the one),  menu > edit > apply
[05:21] <mario_> i install them but the screen goes black when I try to play
[05:21] <mneptok> zilly66: why would you want .wav files?
[05:21] <LtL> iShock - ps aux | grep frostwire  then kill -9 PID the frostwire id process
[05:21] <Miles_Prower> liquiddoom: Pelo, both those sections are at max 'high/fast' with no change at all to mouse speed.
[05:21] <Miles_Prower> liquiddoom, pelo: acceleration and sensitivity both do not affect it much
[05:21] <iShock> LtL, huh?
[05:22] <zilly66> mneptok, to turn them into mp3/ogg, of course
[05:22] <LtL> iShock - open a terminal window
[05:22] <Pelo> Miles_Prower, that was my only suggestion
[05:22] <mneptok> zilly66: jRipper goes ntraight from CD to mp3/ogg
[05:22] <iShock> LtL, I just ran ps aux | grep frostwire
[05:22] <mneptok> *straight
[05:22] <Pelo> Miles_Prower,  you might also try chainging the mouse vailues in xorg.conf
[05:22] <Miles_Prower> k
[05:22] <LtL> iShock - any output. are you trying to stop it?
[05:23] <zilly66> mneptok, really? how?
[05:23] <Pelo> Bradford ??
[05:23] <iShock> I'm trying to close Frostwire, and I got some odd stuff I can't make heads or tails out of, want it pastebinned?
[05:23] <mneptok> zilly66: *magic*
[05:23] <mneptok> zilly66: LAME + oggenc
[05:23] <zilly66> mneptok, doesn't it have to start with the raw source?
[05:23] <Bradford> Pelo, I right click on the biggest EXT3 partition (with no lock over it), click delete and I get this "Unable to delete /dev/sda6! Please unmount any partitions having a number higher than 6"
[05:24] <mneptok> zilly66: right. which is on CD.
[05:24] <Pelo> Bradford,  right click ,  unmount
[05:24] <mneptok> zilly66: you can extract first, if you like that
[05:24] <zack> helllo
[05:24] <Pelo> Bradford,  do that for all the partitons listed
[05:24] <mario_> hi
[05:24] <zack> where can i find the ubuntu 7.10 ISO?
[05:24] <zilly66> doesn't every program extract first?
[05:24] <zack> to download
[05:24] <LtL> iShock - the frostwire entry has a process id, just type kill pid  in a xterm. it should die. killall frostwire should work too but that program is buggy.
[05:24] <Pelo> !torrents | zack
[05:24] <ubotu> zack: Torrent downloads for the Ubuntu ISOs are available on all the download pages. For Feisty: http://releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/ (CDs) or http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/7.04/release/ (DVDs)
[05:25] <peepsalot> anyone know what kernel modules are necessary to detect a USB cd drive?
[05:25] <iShock> LtL, I got three different things showing up
[05:25] <zack> is feisty the one that comes with desktop effects correct?
[05:25] <LtL> iShock - type 'top' in a terminal. see if its there, read the idea, type 'q' then kill it
[05:25] <peepsalot> or even what device it would be under?
[05:25] <DShepherd> 7.10???
[05:25] <Bradford> Pelo, Unmount isn't an option for any of the partitions, but where unmount is on the menu, for the locked Swaps there's an option to "swapoff" idk what that means
[05:25] <Pelo> zack, yes
[05:25] <LtL> iShock - logout/login
[05:25] <mario_> 7.10 doesn't even exist

[05:29] <sid32> hey.. I need some help..

[05:29] <moDumass> Pelo, how do i remove twinview though?

[05:29] <mario_> i downloaded them from applications add/remove

[05:29] <mario_> is that wrong or what?
[05:29] <rong_> Hey folks
[05:30] <peepsalot> Pelo, it boots the liveCD, but eventually it wants to configure the CD Drive
[05:30] <rong_> Has anyone able to install pidgin yet here?
[05:30] <Pelo> sid32,   menu > system > pref > main menu , at the bottom restor or reset
[05:30] <mneptok> rong_: don't ;)
[05:30] <peepsalot> Pelo, I don't understand why, it works enough to get it to that point
[05:30] <Pelo> peepsalot,  ah ,  I donT' know about that ,  try checking in the forum
[05:30] <moDumass> Pelo also would removing Option Twinveiw 1 destroy everything?
[05:30] <mario_> but i also tried  "trigger" and "scorched 3d"
[05:30] <sid32> pelo: can't get to menu
[05:30] <mneptok> rong_: let go of the "OMG A NEW NUMBER I MUST HAVE IT" virus
[05:30] <sid32> only thing in systems is help and quit
[05:31] <Pelo> moDumass,  err,   check in the forum I saw that a while ago but I realy had no use for it so I don' tremember
[05:31] <ferdy> hii

[05:31] <bullgard4> How does Ubuntu calculate the 'last full capacity=3937 mAh' of my battery?
[05:32] <zack> whats the difference between the DVD and the Iso's?
[05:32] <zack> what more do you get?
[05:32] <Pelo> sid32,   open a terminal  and type alacarte  that's the menu editor
[05:32] <mario_> pelo, can you help me
[05:32] <sid32> tried that.. doesnt load anything
[05:32] <moDumass> awesome
[05:32] <n2diy> bullgard4:  that is what your battery is reporting to the system.
[05:33] <sid32> also, lost my firefox bookmarks
[05:33] <Pelo> zack, they are all iso , ithey are disk images,  one is for a dvd with lots of package to save bandwidth during install , the other is a cd
[05:33] <Bradford> Pelo, Ok, I got it, thank you! I might be back :(
[05:33] <Pelo> mario_, I'm sorry you got lost in the frey , gimfe me a minute
[05:33] <bullgard4> n2diy: How can the battery know this value?
[05:33] <mario_> pelo, you just tell me when
[05:34] <Pelo> mario_,  I just had to read back,
[05:34] <reptyl_> newb here. i just downloaded thunderbird-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.gz. how do i instal it? thanks
[05:34] <n2diy> bullgard4:  It doesn't, your system reads the battery voltage and type,  and guestemates it.
[05:34] <Pelo> mario_,  if you hadded them from the add/remove menu they should work ,  unless you have video driver issues which might explain it,   did the other games work for you ,  the ones that are part fot eh default isnatll ?
[05:35] <Pelo> reptyl_, just use the one synaptic it will be less trouble
[05:35] <Pelo> reptyl_,  or use the info here   http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[05:35] <bullgard4> n2diy: I doubt your answer. The voltage is irrelevant.
[05:35] <mario_> the ones who come with the regular installation work perfectly, but the ones I add, in 3d, won't work
[05:36] <Pelo> mario_,  does your video card support 3d accelereation ?
[05:36] <mario_> pelo, i think i have my drivers updated but if there's a way to know it, tell me
[05:36] <ajmorris_> can this start menu be gotten for normal gnome menus? : http://linuxmint.com/pictures/screenshots/bianca-2.2/08.png
[05:36] <n2diy> bullgard4:  Really? How long can you run your laptop on a battery with zero voltage?
[05:36] <Pelo> mario_,  what's your video card ?
[05:36] <reptyl_> Pelo, the one in synaptic is only version 1.5 ...
[05:36] <kazol> Is it worth setting up RAID-1 on a workstation with 2x80GB on the same EIDE channel or will it become a bottleneck?
[05:36] <mario_> pelo, I think so, because I use beryl, although I quit that when I'm gonna play
[05:36] <Miles_Prower> ubuntu-ppc 6.10, @ boot: prompt.. how do i enter single-user mode?
[05:36] <mario_> pelo, nvidia
[05:37] <Motoko-chan> Hello. I'm trying to get WPA set up on 6.10, on an ipw2200 card, but am getting errors.
[05:37] <mario_> pelo, do you need the model?
[05:37] <Motoko-chan> Mostly "Failed to set encryption"
[05:37] <Pelo> mario_,   look in menu > system > admin ( or prefs)  click the restricted driver menu options,  see if that does anything
[05:37] <[Meta] > Hey, I have a Sansa c250, can anyone tell me how I can retrieve the music from it?
[05:37] <bullgard4> n2diy: Not very long. It is still irrelevant for determining the last full capacity.
[05:37] <kazol> Is it worth setting up RAID on a workstation?
[05:37] <DrChaos> hello. I was hoping someone could point me to some documentation on how to vpn into a watchguard firebox iii 1000  with kvpnc or openswan or suggestions on how else I might be able to connect
[05:38] <Pelo> reptyl_,  I'm a bit swampt right now , if you want to give compiling a shot yourself instructions are in this link http://cutlersoftware.com/ubuntuinstall/
[05:38] <HiddenHax> hey does anyone know a gui tool that can be used to move files with admin abilities?
[05:38] <Motoko-chan> DrChaos, if you use PPTP VPN, you can use several clients for that.
[05:38] <kazol> How come I cannot measure the temp. of my HDs in gdesklets?
[05:38] <Motoko-chan> IPSec VPNs on the Firebox are... interesting.
[05:38] <mario_> pelo, I see my nvidia driver, is that what I should see?
[05:38] <kazol> The HDs definetely have temperature sensors, and I tried installing lmsensors.
[05:39] <Motoko-chan> kazol, it depends on what you want out of the workstation.
[05:39] <n2diy> bullgard4:  Not very long!? Ok. This is the first time you mentioned "last full capacity."
[05:39] <Pelo> ajmorris_,  yoiu can'T get that menu in ubuntu  it's an opensuse thing
[05:39] <cables> help! I just opened my trash, and somehow all the items in /var/run are showing up in trash:
[05:39] <DrChaos> but I need to create an ipsec connection not pptp...
[05:39] <Pelo> mario_,  install it
[05:39] <ajmorris_> Pelo, kk, tks
[05:39] <Pelo> cableroy,  put them back then
[05:39] <Pelo> ajmorris_, hold on
[05:39] <mario_> pelo, how? double click? do I have to search it in the internet?
[05:39] <Motoko-chan> DrChaos, if you use the firebox tools to create the keys, any decent IPSec client _should_ work.
[05:39] <cables> Pelo, they're not actually in ~/.Trash
[05:40] <bullgard4> n2diy: I mentioned 'last full capacity' at 05:31h.
[05:40] <Pelo> mario_,  dbl click
[05:40] <cables> Pelo, they're in /var/run, but Nautilus shows them as being in the trash
[05:40] <DrChaos> Motoko-chan, can you send me to some documentation on how to configure a connection
[05:40] <kazol> Motoko-chan: Would it become a bottleneck if I transcoded\recorded DVDs on 2x80GB EIDE (on the same channel)?
[05:40] <HiddenHax> hey does anyone know a gui tool that can be used to move files with admin abilities?
[05:40] <Pelo> cables,  I give up,  you'll have to figure it out
[05:40] <Motoko-chan> DrChaos, I'm actually trying to get some help right now too, maybe I'll look into it later.
[05:40] <cables> HiddenHax, hit alt-f2 and type gksudo nautilus
[05:40] <mario_> pelo, it says, in use
[05:40] <DrChaos> everything I've foudn assumes a higher level of knowledge that I seem to posses
[05:40] <HiddenHax> cables thanks
[05:40] <DrChaos> sp*
[05:41] <DrChaos> Motoko-chan, what are you seekign help on
[05:41] <mario_> pelo, i fucked things up
[05:41] <Motoko-chan> kazol, might be, although the encoding will be the bottleneck most of the time
[05:41] <DrChaos> ?
[05:41] <tonyyarusso> !ohmy | mario_
[05:41] <Pelo> mario_, it is installed then
[05:41] <Motoko-chan> Wifi stuff.
[05:41] <ubotu> mario_: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[05:41] <Pelo> mario_, how ?
[05:41] <n2diy> bullgard4:  0513 hours, it is 2338 hours now, you think we've been reading this all that time?
[05:41] <Motoko-chan> Getting an intel 2200 working over WPA
[05:41] <EADG> HiddenHax: Krusader i think.
[05:41] <DrChaos> Motoko-chan, I think you maybe SOL. one of my employees went through hell trying to get that to work and gave up...
[05:41] <[Meta] > HELP.
[05:41] <[Meta] > :(
[05:41] <mario_> pelo, i uninstalled the driver by accident now I have to restart to use it (excuse me)
[05:42] <kazol> Motoko-chan: So do you think it will take considerably longer since it is on the same channel (I beleive they cannot multitask)?
[05:42] <Motoko-chan> Draconicus, heh
[05:42] <Pelo> ajmorris_, look in this link go back several days,  ithink I have seen that menu in there,  when you find it look for the name of the app in synaptic and see if you can install it ,if not you might have to download it    http://debaday.debian.net/
[05:42] <mario_> pelo, if my driver was installed, what do you think could be the possible problem?
[05:42] <Motoko-chan> kazol, if you are going between the drives, perhaps/

[05:47] <Pelo> sigh,
[05:47] <IowaDave> cables: what's in the trash folder? the actual files, or links to them?
[05:48] <cables> IowaDave, nothing's in the trash folder. They're showing up in Nautilus' "virtual" trash folder (type trash: in the nautilus location bar)
[05:48] <[Meta] > Fuck.
[05:48] <DBO> [Meta] , watch the swearing
[05:48] <IowaDave> cables: ok, that's a new one to me. just wanted to clear it up here on the channel.
[05:49] <cables> IowaDave, ok
[05:49] <USSJoin> I have an external ext3 hard drive. How do I make it automount so that a user (say, me) can have access?
[05:49] <DBO> cables, IowaDave, no they are actually in ~/.Trash
[05:49] <[Meta] > Yeah, well maybe I wouldn't be swearing if someone could actually help me
[05:49] <Pelo> cables,  check in /root/.Trash
[05:49] <cables> DBO, they're NOT in ~/.Trash, that's what I just said.
[05:49] <cables> Pelo, not there either
[05:49] <USSJoin> USSJoin: I've read the tutorials online, but they seem to be getting bypassed by Ubuntu's builtin mounting of USB drives.
[05:49] <Parmenion> lol .. whats the problem ?
[05:49] <cables> When I hover over them in Nautilus's trash thingy, it says Location: /var/run
[05:49] <USSJoin> And I like the builtin mounting.
[05:49] <Pelo> [Meta] , what's your problem ?
[05:49] <[Meta] > I have a Sansa c250, right?
[05:50] <Parmenion> ok ...
[05:50] <DBO> cables, alright technically yes its a combination of several folders, but most anything you delete will be in ~/.Trash
[05:50] <[Meta] > And it appears to have "lost" all of the music on it.
[05:50] <ayande_> Does anyone know what I should do in order to make phpmail work?
[05:50] <Pelo> cables,  have you looked  in the forum for answers
[05:50] <[Meta] > But on Windows, I can find all the music.
[05:50] <Parmenion> ok...
[05:50] <Talaman> hmm
[05:50] <cables> Pelo, I don't know what to search for
[05:50] <Parmenion> werid ... what filesystem?
[05:51] <[Meta] > How do I find out, Parmenion?

[05:52] <Parmenion> ok ... now does it show up as an MTP player on windows ?
[05:52] <Parmenion> if it does, use gnomad2
[05:52] <[Meta] > Yes, Parmenion
[05:52] <[Meta] > gnomad. :/
[05:52] <Parmenion> it works for my creative zen
[05:52] <Parmenion> gnomad2

[06:06] <mario_> zie, thanks. the thing is, the sreen goes black and I can't do a thing
[06:06] <py_geek> zie: python rulz!!!! Take that, BASIC!!!!

[06:06] <mario_> zie, I have my nvidia drivers installed
[06:06] <zie> hold on py_geek
[06:07] <ry4n> python is the new basic
[06:07] <[Meta] > I used to code BASIC.

[06:08] <samsm> StriderZ: Wait, my bad! Applications launched after Squeak is quit have sound.
[06:08] <zie> hmm
[06:08] <zie> do you have the permissions to play 3d, or the proper tools?
[06:09] <StriderZ> samsm: somehow, squeak is locking you soundcard. Probably a special way you need to run it so that it plays nice. Haven't used it in a long while though and it would depend on your specific sound setup.
[06:09] <mario_> zie, i don't know exactly, you tell me
[06:09] <ferronica>  what command to use to edit sources.list
[06:09] <mario_> zie, I installed the os myself

[06:15] <SeveredCross> Oooh.
[06:15] <SeveredCross> Someone's touchy.
[06:15] <pushpop> anyone know a good tool to test for an open smtp relay on your server?
[06:15] <zie> download the game in there
[06:15] <Dolphin07> mneptok, what was that sudo command again?
[06:15] <SeveredCross> Pastebin isn't that bloody hard.
[06:15] <[Meta] > No.
[06:15] <UnluckyMike> meta: it says you should be able to mount it, it is showing up as a scsi drive
[06:15] <[Meta] > How do I mount it?
[06:15] <zie> it should work

[06:16] <SeveredCross> Oh.
[06:16] <SeveredCross> sudo mount -a
[06:16] <SeveredCross> After that.
[06:16] <SeveredCross> Pastebin the output of that command, if any.
[06:16] <SeveredCross> Then issue just the mount command
[06:16] <Bradford> how do you flash bios

[06:16] <SeveredCross> And pastebin the output of that.
[06:16] <SeveredCross> Woot?
[06:16] <Bradford> linix said too
[06:16] <[Meta] > The MP3 player is VFAT?
[06:16] <SeveredCross> Okay.
[06:16] <louish> Hi all.   I install wu-ftpd and when I try to start it "/etc/init.d/wu-ftpd"  nothing happens.  How can I see why it isn't starting?
[06:17] <SeveredCross> I wonder why you can't see the files.
[06:17] <SeveredCross> What player are you using?

[06:17] <[Meta] > I'll just transfer them via CD.
[06:17] <mario_> zie, I started the game but, as the screen went black I couldn't controll anything so I had to ctr+alt+backspace to restart the graphics
[06:17] <SeveredCross> You can see files.
[06:17] <SeveredCross> But not MP3's?
[06:17] <SeveredCross> That makes NO sense.
[06:17] <[Meta] > Yes.

[06:17] <[Meta] > *encoded
[06:17] <UnluckyMike> meta it might not show the .mp3 part if it is associated with a media player

[06:17] <SeveredCross> That would have nothing to do with it.
[06:17] <[Meta] > They appear as .DATs
[06:18] <SeveredCross> UnluckyMike: Nautilus doesn't do that, does it?
[06:18] <fsckr> whats the command using sudo to give me root? again
[06:18] <SeveredCross> [Meta] : They're probably encoded to match your DAP maybe.

[06:18] <liquiddoom> I've made a custom init script, how do I start it at boot?

[06:18] <benkoo> biovore: thks
[06:18] <SeveredCross> What are you trying to transfer these files off of anyway?
[06:18] <[Meta] > Oh.
[06:18] <colbert> can someone help, simple error i think but can't figure it out: http://pastebin.ca/471820
[06:18] <[Meta] > An MP3 player.

[06:19] <[Meta] > *them
[06:19] <zie> ok honestlly i dont know
[06:19] <zie> then
[06:19] <SeveredCross> colbert: You can't use the > thing with sudo.
[06:19] <SeveredCross> Doesn't work quite that well.
[06:19] <SeveredCross> If you really need to do that.
[06:19] <colbert> oh
[06:19] <SeveredCross> IMO, it looks like a bad idea.
[06:19] <zie> sounds like you have an issue with the game
[06:19] <SeveredCross> What you need to do is type sudo -s
[06:19] <SeveredCross> Then issue that command.
[06:19] <zie> not the os
[06:19] <Dolphin07> Thanks SeveredCross
[06:19] <colbert> ahh
[06:19] <iter> ugh punctuation
[06:19] <SeveredCross> You're welcome Dolphin07.
[06:19] <zie> so i wouldnt know
[06:19] <StriderZ> colbert: sudo sh -c '<whatever>' would work, too
[06:19] <DanaG> or sudo -i
[06:20] <mario_> zie, i don't think is the game because that happens with other two
[06:20] <colbert> thanks
[06:20] <SeveredCross> Ah, I didn't know the -c shortcut.
[06:20] <SeveredCross> I know sudo -i and sudo -s
[06:20] <zie> ohh
[06:20] <mario_> zie, but thanks anyway
[06:20] <zie> welcome

[06:37] <Schalken> anyone know where i can get a deb for pidgin 2.0?
[06:37] <crdlb> I already !pastebin'ed

[06:38] <Toma-> Schalken: unless you compile it yourself, its a little risky at the moment
[06:38] <ry4n> schalken.. what diffs are there between feisty's and latest
[06:38] <Schalken> Toma-: why?
[06:39] <bullgard4> How does Ubuntu calculate the 'last full capacity=3937 mAh' of my battery?
[06:39] <UnluckyMike> isn't feisty's beta 6 anyway?
[06:39] <Toma-> Schalken: who knows what someone might package. it could ruin your system, especially at a later point when its in backports or something
[06:39] <Toma-> Schalken: wait till a reputable packager makes a deb
[06:39] <Schalken> ry4n: pidgin has tango icons and a little better interface.
[06:39] <cycom> Man, I'm going insane trying to get this stupid remote to work.
[06:39] <Schalken> Toma-: okay then.
[06:39] <kosnick> before updating to 7.04 i used network monitor and i could see the traffic. now i cant , i can just see the icon of it and change some properties. Is this a bug?

[06:40] <zor0> how can I see disk activity on my ubuntu system?
[06:41] <kosnick> zor0 : what do you mean "activity"?
[06:41] <zor0> like total mb/s read and write
[06:41] <zor0> or some other measure of how "busy" my disks are
[06:41] <bullgard4> crdlb: Where from has ACPI got this information?

[06:41] <kosnick> zor0 : have you tried Applications-> Accesorries-> Disk user analyser?
[06:41] <iter> didn't that get released today?

[06:42] <kosnick> zor0 : maybe conky will help you too. Just google about "conky"
[06:42] <Schalken> Toma-: any word on weather they plan on backporting it?

[06:44] <Toma-> Schalken: not specifically
[06:44] <kosnick> zor0 : i dont know what cli util is. Could you explain?
[06:44] <crdlb> bullgard4: the same way it can read the make of the battery, the design capacity, etc
[06:44] <jpiccolo> if i have alot of RX errors, would that cause a slow lan file transfer?
[06:44] <crdlb> that particular value may be remembered by the kernel and not stored in hardware
[06:45] <crdlb> but the others certainly are in the hardware
[06:45] <nol13> hi, is there a n64 emulator that runs on linux? whats the best snes smulator?

[06:45] <Toma-> nol13: yeh, muopen64 is probably the best 64 emulator
[06:45] <kosnick> how do i monitor network traffic?
[06:46] <bullgard4> crdlb: Your answer is wrong. The make of the battery is a constant. The 'last full capacity' changes as a function of time.
[06:46] <nol13> cool
[06:46] <Toma-> nol13: sorry, mupen64
[06:46] <crdlb> bullgard4: that's why I said that value may be remembered by the kernel

[06:48] <kosnick> Toma : well i used netowrk monitor on my panel with 6.10 and i could see the download/upload rateson my panel . Now after upgrading i can not see these rates any more
[06:48] <Toma-> kosnick: ahh.
[06:48] <axident> can someone help a linux newb out, I have 2 partitions on my 1 harddrive.  1 = XP 2=Vista.  Now I decided that I was going to get rid of XP and install Ubuntu on that partition.  Install worked great, except now I am getting NTLDR is missing when trying to boot to Vista.  How can I fix this?  I don't have a floppy drive on this computer so making a Ubuntu boot disk would have to be done on a USB key.... wondering if there is an easie
[06:48] <axident> r way though.
[06:48] <mariov> back
[06:48] <mariov> hi
[06:48] <mariov> ry4n, still there?
[06:48] <Toma-> kosnick: if youre into monitoring, gkrellm is a nice one.
[06:49] <kosnick> Toma : do you know anything about it?
[06:49] <nol13> axident, vista'd
[06:49] <Toma-> kosnick: just add network monitor to your panel
[06:49] <Toma-> rather than using the terrible nm-applet
[06:49] <kosnick> toma : i did but it does not work as it used to
[06:49] <ry4n> mariov yes
[06:50] <ry4n> use pastebin this time
[06:50] <pushpop> what channel can i find hep with beryl?
[06:50] <Toma-> kosnick: :( not sure how to help you sorry
[06:50] <alberto> hey guys do you know a good video editor software that lets put titles and makes slideshows too?
[06:50] <Toma-> pushpop: #ubuntu-effects
[06:50] <DARKGuy> pushpop: #beryl or #ubuntu-effects
[06:50] <mariov> ry4n, sorry about that i couldn't send any message but i have now the paste bin link http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19209/
[06:50] <SirBob1701> hmm event with the extra token in my essid i can't get my realtek 8185 to get asignal strength over 0
[06:50] <kosnick> toma : thx anyway
[06:51] <DARKGuy> hey, anybody knows how to spawn another X (with gdm and all) without killing my current X session ?
[06:51] <mariov> ry4n, you just tell me what to do
[06:51] <ry4n> mariov: looks like your video drivers are working well
[06:51] <ry4n> mariov have you tried glxgears
[06:52] <vanberge> would anyone in here be willing to try to help me get an external DVD drive working?  if i plug in, nothing happens whatsoever.  :-(
[06:52] <mariov> ry4n, the glxgears is that animation on green red and blue?
[06:52] <ry4n> mariov: gears.. and if you wait the fps should print out in the terminal
[06:52] <ry4n> should be > 5000 at least
[06:53] <DARKGuy> vanberge: usb? maybe Ubuntu doesn't detect it? o.O I dunno, never messed with one of those but it may be something to look for :P
[06:53] <SirBob1701> i think the fiesty realtek drivers have an issue with wep
[06:53] <mariov> it showd this, X connection to :0.0 broken (explicit kill or server shutdown).
[06:53] <axident> is there anyone able to help me fix my vista/linux dual boot issue... I am kinda stuck on what do in order to get vista working again without wiping out grub...
[06:53] <ry4n> mariov: well it appears you can't create an opengl surface
[06:54] <mariov> ry4n, and that means?....is there a way to solve that?
[06:54] <skpayne> anyone willing help with wireless connection.  wireless is detecting a neighbors network, but not mine.
[06:54] <beland> why when I do chmod +s i got S in mod ???
[06:54] <jpiccolo> sweet!!! i just fixed my network speed issue!
[06:55] <vanberge> DARKGuy, it is USB... but i don't have any idea where to start with ubuntu detecting it...
[06:55] <thebillywayne> vanberge, lsusb to see if Ubuntu has detected it.
[06:56] <ry4n> mariov: hmm.. in the olden times this usually meant that you weren't a member of the video group
[06:56] <DanaG> Any idea why my pulseaudio fails assertion like that?
[06:56] <beland> why when I do chmod +s i got S in mod ???
[06:56] <ry4n> mariov: can you pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:57] <mariov> ry4n, but ....this is my desktop, I installed the os myself that sounds weird
[06:57] <vanberge> thebillywayne,    Bus 004 Device 003: ID 0ac9:0010 Micro Solutions, Inc.
[06:58] <vanberge> that is the only device i could see even being possible.

[06:58] <skpayne> can someone help with a wireless access question...  can detect neighbor's wireless but not my own.  just installed Ubuntu
[06:58] <splifter> can anybody tell me where xchat-gnome save the log files
[06:58] <ry4n> mariov: open your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file using sudo. check this section: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19211/
[06:59] <holycow> does anyone know if there is an 'equalizer' app that  brings up all volume sources to say a preset of say 65% and lowers any sound sources over the preset back down to 65%?  that way all sound sources particularly online with things like youtube would be easier to listen to without constantly fidling with the sound toggle
[06:59] <thebillywayne> vanberge, did you alter anything in your "Removable Drives and Media Preferences"?
[06:59] <thinman1189> Hi all. I seem to be having some trouble updating from dapper to edgy. I boot to a black screen. I tried going into grub and deleting all instances of 'splash quiet' or 'quiet splash' but it hasn't helped. I checked the site and I've seen similar cases but none of the solutions have helped. I ultimately am just going to update to feisty so if there's a way for me to just skip fixing edgy and go straight to updating to feisty that'd be gre
[06:59] <vanberge> thebillywayne, nope...  :-/
[06:59] <ry4n> holycow: you mean normalizer.. and no i don't
[06:59] <splifter> can anybody tell me where xchat-gnome save the log files
[07:00] <holycow> ry4n, normalizer indeed *nod*
[07:00] <splifter> can anybody tell me where xchat-gnome save the log files
[07:01] <vanberge> thebillywayne,  that device is detected.  it shows up on lsusb.  if i unplug it, it goes away
[07:02] <splifter> does anyone know where xchat-gnome saves the logfiles?
[07:02] <kosnick> zor0 : still here?

[07:02] <hagbard_> Please give me the IP to google.
[07:02] <aum> what fs type is initrd on ubuntu? i want to mount mine
[07:03] <ry4n> aum: hmm.. isn't it just a raw memory file
[07:03] <mariov> ry4n, i don't see a thing in the gedit editor when i type sudo gedit /etc/x11/xorg.conf
[07:03] <thebillywayne> vanberge, curiouser and curiouser.  check your "removable drives..." preferences, just to make sure.
[07:03] <holycow> thinman1189, dapper -> edgy is known to have upgrade issues
[07:03] <holycow> big upgrade issues
[07:03] <ry4n> mariov: capital X11
[07:03] <skpayne> can someone help with a wireless access question...  can detect neighbor's wireless but not my own.  just installed Ubuntu
[07:03] <hagbard_> mariov: gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:03] <aum> ry4n, is there any way i can mount it into the fs?
[07:03] <hagbard_> IP google, please.
[07:03] <catid> problem with FireFox: View>Toolbars>Bookmarks toggle off doesn't persist between runs.. it keeps turning it back on, same for custom toolbars settings (google toolbar won't go away)
[07:03] <holycow> thinman1189, for feisty a lot of effort was put into a smooth dist-upgrade process
[07:04] <mariov> ry4n, still no text is there
[07:04] <ry4n> aum: i think what happens on boot is that it gets loaded into ram. a hex editor might work
[07:04] <SirBob1701> hmm this realtek issue is ticking me off.  Might just buy a new wireless card for my comp
[07:04] <holycow> thinman1189, i would recommend a clean install if you have tha toption, for edgy that will be faster than fixing the dist-upgrade
[07:04] <hikyuu> hello.. dumb question but i cant seem to remember how to add servers on Xchat, also, how might i look up different IRC chatrooms and etc on topics besides ubuntu and etc?
[07:04] <thinman1189> holycow: I want to update to feisty anyway. is there a way I can update it from recovery mode?
[07:04] <hagbard_> Someone, IP to google please!
[07:04] <ry4n> mariov: gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:04] <vanberge> thebillywayne,  mount removable drives is checked
[07:04] <Myrtti> hagbard_: <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:05] <splifter> does anyone know where xchat-gnome saves the logfiles?
[07:05] <hagbard_> Myrtti: Your my life saver.
[07:05] <holycow> i haven't mucked about in recover mode enough to say, i would still recommend a clean install an djust backup /home
[07:05] <Myrtti> hagbard_: np
[07:05] <mariov> ry4n, now
[07:05] <wkdown> quick question, when I install a program, where do the files generally go?  /usr ?
[07:05] <ry4n> wkdown /usr/bin
[07:05] <splifter> /usr/bin
[07:05] <mariov> ry4n, i have the text ant the page you sent me, i think i should paste that, but where?
[07:05] <thebillywayne> splifter, Preferences, Logging.
[07:05] <barelystable> hagbard_: remember, you can always dig @<IP_ADDRESS> whatever.com if you lose your DNS server for a time
[07:05] <wkdown> thats to RUN it .. what about subfiles the program needs in order to run?
[07:06] <barelystable>  youkno, in case you need /other/ domains
[07:06] <ry4n> mariov: see the sections.. find your section called screen
[07:06] <ry4n> compare
[07:06] <thinman1189> holycow:how do I back it up? the only ubuntu cd I have is a dapper distro from an issue of linux monthly and I can't seem to find it. I have a knoppix cd, could I access it from that?
[07:06] <skpayne> any reason why my wireless can "see" neighbor's wireless network, but is not seeing my own?
[07:06] <splifter> thebillywayne: there is no kind of this option...
[07:06] <thebillywayne> vanberge, df to see if it has a device name.
[07:06] <wkdown> ry4n, splifter: what about the dependency files for that program?
[07:06] <mariov> ry4n, I'm seeing it
[07:07] <holycow> thinman1189, ah *hmm* some thinkin/plannin will be reuquired i guess
[07:07] <ry4n> wkdown: some might go in /usr/lib, most settings go in ~/.<program name>
[07:07] <barelystable> skpayne: encryption settings that aren't supported? maybe your SSID is hidden?
[07:07] <holycow> thinman1189, obviously you backup home via usb key, yes you can use knoppix, put a usb flash drive in and yeah just copy it over
[07:07] <thebillywayne> splifter, oh.  XChat-Gnome.  Sorry.  Just use regular XChat.
[07:07] <skpayne> hmm... okay, how might i remedy that?
[07:07] <holycow> reboot and make sure it actually is backed up ... no sense in assuming its backed up when its not
[07:08] <wkdown> ry4n, I thought so (/usr/lib) but this program isnt listed there
[07:08] <splifter> thebillywayne: ok thx
[07:08] <mariov> ry4n, should I replace what i'm seeing for that you sent me from the pastebin
[07:08] <ry4n> wkdown /usr/lib are libraries.. /usr/bin are binaries (aka executables) /usr/src is source code
[07:08] <Kim^J> Now I'm here to help. :)
[07:08] <ry4n> etc
[07:08] <wkdown> what I'm trying to do is add the add-ons for Celestia
[07:08] <ry4n> mariov: how does it differ?
[07:08] <splifter> wkdown: what file?
[07:08] <holycow> now about upgrading, thats a bit of a problem, obviously you can try going directly from dappter to feisty .. that should actually work.  no reason not to.  but chances are there will be things you will haveto fix manually
[07:09] <holycow> thinman1189, thus if you can download a feisty cd and burn it that would be cool
[07:09] <skpayne> barleystable, may I get more info...  maybe ask a few more detailed questions about this wireless item?
[07:09] <holycow> indeed you can download a feisty cd to your hd that will be in /mnt or you can mount it as write in kde/knoppix and save it there and then use the burn software k3b to burn it off
[07:09] <barelystable> skpayne: if your ssid is hidden, it'd need to be setup on the wireless gateway itself
[07:09] <wkdown> splifter, three diff ones ... the model file, texture file and data file
[07:09] <holycow> and install feisty
[07:09] <mariov> ry4n, very much, look at the paste bin link you sent me once again
[07:09] <thinman1189> holycow:okay, thanks for the help. the last time I tried installing ubuntu from a downloaded cd it didn't work and since my current is just destroyed it looks like I'll have to order a feisty cd. unless, is there some sort of way I can test the cd before installing? last time I tried with dapper it would go through the install process and freeze in a pixelated loading screen.
[07:09] <holycow> thinman1189, does that give you a good idea of your options?
[07:10] <eclipse75> whats the name and the location of the alsa driver?
[07:10] <skpayne> I can see it with my windows machines.  works perfectly.
[07:10] <barelystable> if its WPA or WPA2, i've never had good luck on getting those to work under linux (but i haven't tried ubuntu 7.04 right now. current d/ling)
[07:10] <splifter> wkdown: where can i find them?
[07:10] <wkdown> hold
[07:10] <splifter> k
[07:10] <holycow> thinman1189, actually its still working let me guess you probably have a laptop or a box with an intel chipset right?
[07:10] <wkdown> http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/catalog/nonmessiernebulae.php
[07:10] <wkdown> each is ZIPed
[07:10] <skpayne> barleystable:  my windows machines can see it.
[07:10] <holycow> if so thats a known issue, xres has a problem halfway through the process , you just haveto wait 15 to 30 minutes and press enter and it will continue and finish the install actually
[07:10] <thinman1189> desktop with an amd 64 athlon
[07:10] <holycow> its not messed up it just looks like it
[07:11] <holycow> still just try
[07:11] <wkdown> they have a FAQ on adding the add-ons but only specify a directory
[07:11] <holycow> as an option
[07:11] <barelystable> skpayne: ah, then maybe its an encryption thing?
[07:11] <holycow> thinman1189, it is possible also that you have a brand new mobo with the latest chipset right?
[07:11] <m4st3r> hi all
[07:11] <splifter> thx
[07:12] <skpayne> barleystable:  okay, might it have something to do with my particular wireless router (Microsoft MN 500)?
[07:12] <holycow> if so then i guarantee that dapper won't support latest nvidia chipset, i had the kernel team backport nforce 6 drivers but i don't know if it was ever brought to the repost as i ditched anything with nforce on it as a result
[07:12] <thebillywayne> !hi | m4st3r
[07:12] <ubotu> m4st3r: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[07:12] <m4st3r> excuse me, how can i run the bittorrnto?
[07:12] <mariov> ry4n, have you seen that?
[07:12] <thinman1189> my mobo is about a year old. I haven't checked for any driver updates since I built my comp :s
[07:13] <holycow> a year old is probably still too old, nforce 6 drivers were starting to come out then i think
[07:13] <barelystable> skpayne: maybe. i remember hearing that those MS routers weren't the most "compatible" things in the world. I've never used one myself. they always looked sweet though
[07:13] <ry4n> mariov: umm. i opened a seperate room with instruction
[07:13] <m4st3r> i did apt-get install bittorrent
[07:13] <holycow> just a guess tho, hard to say
[07:13] <ry4n> check your tabs or something
[07:13] <holycow> just giving you something to work with
[07:13] <vanberge> thebillywayne, i just ripped the dvd drive out of the external case... lol.   it looks like it has normal ata / power connectors.  maybe will work as internal?  :-)
[07:13] <holycow> thinman1189, again, downloading feisty via knoppix and burning that off is your best bet and least aggravating.  just make sure you right click on your hd mount points on the desktop and set them to write
[07:13] <barelystable> skpayne: you may want to try disabling the security on the wireless connection, try and get your linux machine onto it, and then enabling encryption again and see if it disappears
[07:14] <ry4n> mariov: i have to leave now. so.. i pasted instructions in a seperate room with just us (check your room list or tabs or something). or you can ask someone else
[07:14] <lt> can anyone help me with a nxserver setup?  Currently only one user can be connected at a time, i check the cfg files, but there isnt anything for multiple users
[07:14] <thebillywayne> vanberge, whoah.  well.  no harm in trying.  ;)
[07:14] <eclipse75>  whats the name and the location of the alsa driver id use for teamspeak?
[07:14] <mariov> ry4n, i can't open other rooms
[07:14] <thinman1189> my video card is pretty horrible. it's an xgi volari, lol.
[07:14] <mariov> ry4n, what's the name of the room?
[07:15] <skpayne> barleystable:  sorry for stupid question -- is that easy to do?  Not sure exactly how I'd go about doing that.
[07:15] <kairu0> n
[07:15] <barelystable> skpayne: you'd have to log into your router, and disable encryption if it was enabled. if you never enabled it, then i'll bet its just not compatible
[07:15] <mariov> ry4n, you have been very kind, I thank you a lot
[07:16] <skpayne> If I have a long WEP security key, that means I've encrypted, right?
[07:16] <barelystable> skpayne: the process woudl be different for every router, so you'd have to check your docs
[07:16] <m4st3r> hey, i did apt-get install bittorrent. but don't run!
[07:16] <SirBob1701> my realtek 8185 shows signal strengths of 0 and won't connect to a network i know is good (wep).  I even tried the essid extra character.  can anyone gimme a hand?
[07:16] <barelystable> yeah it does
[07:17] <thinman1189> holycow: my video card is pretty horrible. it's an xgi volari, lol. I'm going to try a back up and a downloaded install cd. Should I try and update my drivers first? I assume that for the download I choose the second option, for 64bit AMD?
[07:17] <skpayne> barleystable:  okay, thanks for thoughts.  I assume if I have long WEP key i have encryption right?
[07:17] <barelystable> and if you're using WEP then linux shouldn't have a problem seeing it. so you might be looking at an incompatibility problem with linux or maybe just that network card
[07:18] <thinman1189> holycow: my video card is pretty horrible. it's an xgi volari, lol. I'm going to try a back up and a downloaded install cd. Should I try and update my drivers first? I assume that for the download I choose the second option, for 64bit AMD?
[07:18] <holycow> thinman1189, no idea, don't you have onboard video by chance? if so you can try that as a default, i have never heard of a volari, no clue what driver that might use
[07:18] <z0rz> How do I just to the last column of ls -l ?  (Aka the file name) I guess I could do something with awk.. but I dont' know to use it...
[07:18] <barelystable> ls -C 1
[07:18] <barelystable> er, no space: ls -C1
[07:19] <Snowman> Hi folks, I know this isn't exactly the channel for this, but I'm wondering if anyone here has any experience with knetworkmanager.  the guys in #kubuntu are at a loss.
[07:20] <z0rz> Hmm, that doesn't seem to be alphabetical
[07:20] <mariov> kim^J, hi, I saw you were here to help, i need some, can you?
[07:20] <thinman1189> holycow: I do but I've never used it. Would Dapper have even operated if there wasn't an available driver?
[07:20] <holycow> thinman1189, well why not try it? what have you got to loose?
[07:20] <holycow> chances are the nv driver might actually work with the onboard video chipset?
[07:21] <deCon> i'm trying to install avant-window-navigator, but when i run this SVN command in term, it just stops
[07:21] <Snowman> basically, I can manually configure my wlan nic via the manually configure option, but when I do that I lose the list of LAN's.
[07:21] <barelystable> its sorted on mine, but right now on my mac. i don't know if ls is different on linux or not
[07:22] <thinman1189> holycow:not much, lol. I hope so. but then what, check to see if there's an available driver for my card? I can't just always work off the onboard, I have windows and the mac theme would crash me without a video card. if there's a driver made by xgi on their site, how can I install it through the command line on start up?
[07:23] <mariov> hello, can somebody please help me , it seems i can't create opengl surfaces with my nvidia
[07:23] <z0rz> Anyone know of a way to do ls -C1 alphabetically?
[07:23] <barelystable> ls -1 | sort
[07:24] <barelystable> like in mario bros., use the pipes
[07:24] <foxiness>  usermod -G vboxusers -a ,it's not run why?
[07:25] <mariov>                                              how can I activate my opengl surfaces on nvidia video card
[07:25] <mariov> help, please
[07:25] <barelystable> if i remember correctly though, both ls -C1 and sort will sort using ASCII values, so capitals come before lowers. maybe thats what your'e seeing?
[07:26] <z0rz> barelystable: You're a genious ;) thanks
[07:26] <barelystable> in which you'll want ls -C1 | sort -f
[07:26] <mrmikegx> Does anyone have problems with fiesty and wireless keybards and mice
[07:26] <thinman1189> holycow:not much, lol. I hope so. but then what, check to see if there's an available driver for my card? I can't just always work off the onboard, I have windows and the mac theme would crash me without a video card. if there's a driver made by xgi on their site, how can I install it through the command line on start up?
[07:26] <barelystable> mrmikegx: problem with it? like morally speaking? i'm not inherently against it. if thats what you mean
[07:27] <mariov> god, help me woth this nvidia card
[07:27] <mariov> with
[07:27] <mrmikegx> no I mean its not recognized
[07:28] <mrmikegx> It happened sometimes on breazy
[07:28] <mrmikegx> or edgy
[07:28] <thinman1189> how do I install a video driver from a site on startup
[07:28] <dfgas__> anyone have problems with soundblaster live 5.1 and only one speaker works?
[07:29] <mrmikegx> When I boot up there sometimes is no keyboard and mouse.  If I go in safe mode then it will work.
[07:29] <Toma-> Has anyone had any experience installing via the harddrive with feisty?
[07:30] <deCon> can someone help me figure out why an install isn't working? i'm in terminal and i insert "svn checkout http://avant-window-navigator.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/ avant-window-navigator" ..then it jumps to black with the cursor instead of doing anything
[07:30] <barelystable> mrmikegx: what kind of connection is it using?
[07:31] <mrmikegx> its a ps2
[07:31] <mrmikegx> but wireless
[07:31] <mrmikegx> a4tech
[07:31] <deCon> anyone?
[07:32] <barelystable> sounds like maybe the receiver doesn't come up fast enough to be detected?
[07:33] <Flannel> deCon: AWN has an Ubuntu repository
[07:33] <|chiz|_> deCon, the link is probably just not responding
[07:33] <mrmikegx> yeah
[07:33] <mrmikegx> is there any way to hardcode it in?
[07:34] <deCon> Flannel, thanks. I installed the repo in the list and updated etc..but it just jumps and does nothing, try again later? the command syntax is proper, correct?
[07:34] <barelystable> maybe theres something in your bios that you could futz with. one of those "legacy" settings
[07:34] <thinman1189> how do I install a video driver from a site on startup?
[07:34] <sid32> hey.. anyone have any experiences with disapearing applications lits?
[07:34] <sid32> lists?
[07:34] <deCon> > Flannel You are a help addict you know
[07:34] <barelystable> if you can get into the bios with the keyboard then it comes up pretty fast
[07:34] <Flannel> deCon: If you added the repository (thats the apt repository, not the svn repository), you shouldn't need to build from source.  But yeah, that syntax lookedgood
[07:34] <sid32> applications menu is totally blank
[07:34] <|chiz|_> thinman1189, what are you trying to do?
[07:35] <deCon> Flannel, I'm following directions on this site...is there another way you could point me to?
[07:35] <deCon> Flannel, http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/UbuntuFeistyHowTo
[07:35] <Smitty> how do you install a .iso?
[07:35] <mrmikegx> yeah i can get into the bios.  I can even get into ubuntu i just have to use safe mode.  I get into save mode with the same keyboard and mouse.
[07:35] <Flannel> deCon: deCon http://awn.wetpaint.com/page/Ubuntu+Feisty+Repository
[07:35] <thelostpatrol> question: is noscript for firefox useful at all in ubuntu or is it not necessary/obsolete?
[07:35] <jpiccolo> RX errors means a bad network card, right?
[07:36] <Hamm_laptop> yeah i've been looking for a good linux app that makes and mounts *.iso files
[07:36] <z0rz> thelostpatrol: it is useful in Ubuntu
[07:36] <mariov>                                                                                how can I get mi nvidia nv18 video card to be able to use opengl textures
[07:36] <Hamm_laptop> so if you find one let me know
[07:36] <thinman1189> |chiz|_: I tried to update from dapper to edgy but I boot to a black screen. I removed splash quiet and quiet splash from the command line but it didn't help. someone else in here suggested it was my video card. I just want to update to feisty anyway so if there's a way to skip fixing edgy that'd be great.
[07:36] <Flannel> deCon: That way doesn't require any compiling, and as such, you get the beenfits of package management
[07:36] <Flannel> Hamm_laptop: eh?  "mount" mounts ISOs
[07:36] <janeNarak> 1126 user !!
[07:36] <thelostpatrol> z0rz, thanks. can you explain how?
[07:36] <z0rz> Cross site scripting is still a possibility on Ubuntu
[07:36] <sid32> repairing damaged aplications?
[07:36] <thelostpatrol> z0rz, oh, i see.
[07:36] <Flannel> !iso | Hamm_laptop
[07:36] <ubotu> Hamm_laptop: To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[07:36] <sid32> list?
[07:36] <thelostpatrol> z0rz, ok, i shall keep it then.
[07:36] <deCon> Flannel, right...i did all that...all the way to the bottom except the affinity thing
[07:37] <DBO> thelostpatrol, it protects against poorly coded javascript that loops over and over
[07:37] <Hamm_laptop> i am a noob heh,....still reading
[07:37] <mariov>                goooooddd hhhhhheeeeeeeellllllllllpppppppp
[07:37] <Flannel> deCon: right.  If you did that (my) page, you don't need to do the other
[07:37] <z0rz> Also, there are vulnerabilities that can get your router password via javascript.  CSS is all the rave now a days, so I'm sure there will be more to come.
[07:37] <deCon> Flannel, oh ok...so i guess it is installed??? the last thing i did was "sudo apt-get install avant-window-navigator-svn"
[07:38] <|chiz|_> thinman1189, are you able to get a console by hitting alt-ctrl-F1?
[07:38] <thelostpatrol> DBO, thanks. in windows i use it to prevent spyware.
[07:38] <barelystable> mrmikegx: found a link that talks about a problem with PS2 and sis mobos, no real solution offered. got a sis based board?
[07:38] <deCon> Flannel, lol...nevermind, its running, i just didn'
[07:38] <Flannel> deCon: sounds good.
[07:38] <deCon> Flannel, didn't think it had installed that way.. thank you again!
[07:39] <mrmikegx> let me check
[07:39] <B123> What is the best way to backup DVD's with ubuntu
[07:39] <Flannel> !dvd | B123
[07:39] <ubotu> B123: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[07:39] <thinman1189> no, I'm not. I used to be able to use ctrl-alt-del + enter to restart. my graphics card is kind of old and unknown. I'm thinking that there just aren't any drivers for it.
[07:40] <B123> okay! im downloading it now.
[07:40] <deCon> Flannel, do you know how to insert a beryl workspace manager into this particular program?
[07:40] <Flannel> deCon: no idea.  You might ask in #ubuntu-effects though
[07:40] <|chiz|_> thinman1189, can you boot single user mode?
[07:40] <Flannel> deCon: er... hmm.  No, I don't know if theyd know either.
[07:41] <SurfnKid> !cue
[07:41] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cue - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:41] <DrChaos> anyone use kvpnc to connect to a watchguard or other ipsec box?
[07:41] <thinman1189> I'm not sure what that means. if I go into grub I can get into recovery mode. I've never been in it before so I don't know what it's supposed to be like but all I get is a command line when it's done.
[07:41] <musya> ok i installed wxwidgets via downloading the file and installing it, but how do i run it?
[07:41] <DrChaos> I need som help
[07:41] <deCon> Flannel, no worries, ill play around. have a good ______ (wherever you are)
[07:41] <vanberge> thebillywayne,  guess what works perfectly as an internal dvd drive... lol
[07:42] <thebillywayne> vanberge, sweet!  hope you didn't pay too much extra for it.  :D
[07:42] <|chiz|_> thinman1189, recovery mode is just what ubuntu calls single user mode
[07:42] <vanberge> thebillywayne, freebee.... hand me  down
[07:42] <thebillywayne> vanberge, awesome.
[07:42] <thinman1189> |chiz|_:then yes I can :s
[07:42] <|chiz|_> thinman1189, basically it gives you a root console
[07:43] <vanberge> ;-)  i didnt know you could do that
[07:43] <thinman1189> |chiz|_:okay. so, what should I do?
[07:44] <mrmikegx> no my board has a via chipset
[07:44] <barelystable> mrmikegx: hmm, welp check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=416356 maybe it will help
[07:44] <|chiz|_> thinman1189, try a dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg first, I would recommend using the video driver nv for now (I think you said that you have a nvidia card) and see where that gets you
[07:44] <barelystable> basically comes down to turning off USB legacy support in the bios i guess
[07:45] <d0lph1nK1ng> does NDisWrapper work for any windows driver?
[07:46] <d0lph1nK1ng> such as a webcam driver
[07:46] <thinman1189> |chiz|_:I have an xgi volari card but I have onboard I could temp use. I'm not sure how I would choose the driver etc. though
[07:46] <barelystable> nope, ndiswrapper means "network driver interface spec"
[07:46] <tsikis> hello there
[07:46] <mrmikegx> ok im going to try this.  Thanks for the help barystable.
[07:46] <d0lph1nK1ng> bummer, thanx barelystable
[07:46] <barelystable> np
[07:46] <tsikis> anyone has any good torrent client that works and dont crash all the time like azureus besides ktorrent?
[07:47] <barelystable> doplin: read something online about a guy whose done like 100 webcam drivers
[07:47] <Angel-SL> !kde-package
[07:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kde-package - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:47] <barelystable> it was on dig a couple of days ago
[07:47] <|chiz|_> thinman1189: when you do the dpkg-reconfigure, it will give you a list of ones that you are currently compiled into your kernel
[07:47] <DBO> barelystable, more like 352 =P
[07:47] <Angel-SL> hey, whats the package to install KDE on Ubuntu? i want both..
[07:47] <DBO> Angel-SL, kubuntu-desktop
[07:47] <HKJGN_> moo..
[07:47] <|chiz|_> thinman1189: when you do the dpkg-reconfigure, you just have to pick the right one :P
[07:47] <barelystable> ha, okie 352
[07:47] <Angel-SL> DBO: that installs KDE on ubuntu, right?
[07:48] <DBO> Angel-SL, sure does
[07:48] <Angel-SL> Okay
[07:48] <thinman1189> okay, thanks. I'll try that.
[07:48] <mariov> i cannot play my 3d games hhhhhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllppppppppppp
[07:48] <barelystable> did he really write 352 drivers or is it a couple of drivers that work for a lot chipsets?
[07:48] <DBO> mariov, chillax, what video card do you have?
[07:48] <mariov> dbo, nvidia
[07:48] <DBO> barelystable, probably somewhere in between
[07:49] <DBO> mariov, more specific please
[07:49] <mariov> DBO, nvidia nv18
[07:49] <Wriest> what kind of application can you use with ubuntu like ares and limewire ?
[07:49] <DBO> mariov, did you use the Restricted Modules helper thing?
[07:50] <mariov> DBO, I don't know what is that, can you tell me?
[07:50] <thinman1189> is java better in 7.04?
[07:50] <musya> ok i installed wxwidgets via downloading the file and installing it, but how do i run it?
[07:50] <Gerro> mariov: updatedb then do locate blacklist play around with that to decide what drivers you don't want loaded and which you do
[07:50] <DBO> mariov, System -> Adminstration -> Restricted Drivers Manager
[07:50] <thinman1189> |chiz|_: Do you know if java is more efficient in 7.04?
[07:51] <|chiz|_> thinman1189: I don't know, what are you trying to run in java?
[07:51] <mariov> DBO, yes, i did that and I have my driver "beeing used" (sorry, spanish version)
[07:52] <DBO> mariov, can you please type glxinfo into a console and put the results into pastebin
[07:52] <thinman1189> |chiz|_: an applet. on windows it takes up 40% of my cpu. in ubuntu it takes up 100% and barely functions.
[07:52] <spinz8r> hi, how do i access hfs partition in Fesity? tks
[07:53] <thinman1189> |chiz|_: release notes said something about java being integrated or something. I'm not sure if it's supposed to be more efficient now.
[07:53] <Toma-> thinman1189: sounmds like a pretty poorly written applet
[07:53] <Wriest> what 2p2 application can I use in ubuntu?
[07:53] <odkjwodwodjkwodj>  hi guys, what is the best linux distribution to be installed on USB flash and that runs under windows? :-)
[07:53] <mariov> DBO, take a look http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19209/
[07:53] <|chiz|_> oh, I'm not sure, I haven't run any java apps yet
[07:53] <DBO> mariov, well that looks wonderful
[07:53] <thinman1189> toma-:it's a very large applet, an mmo :$ .
[07:53] <DBO> mariov, run glxgears and see if you see 3d rotating gears =)
[07:53] <SurfnKid> whats a good ape+cue = mp3 converter
[07:53] <SurfnKid> flac?
[07:54] <jnc> odkjwodwodjkwodj: It's called Offtopic, you can find it quite often in this channel
[07:54] <Toma-> odkjwodwodjkwodj: slax is a great USB based distro, but linux wont "run under windows" without a virtual machine
[07:54] <mariov> DBO, I see them perfectly rotating
[07:54] <DBO> mariov, so whats the problem?
[07:54] <Ademan> when importing photos in f-spot, if you uncheck the "copy images to Photos directory" option, what happens? does it move the images? or make symlinks? or what?
[07:54] <odkjwodwodjkwodj> Toma- thanks, what do you mean by virtual machine?
[07:55] <jnc> SurfnKid: you'll be lucky to find any app that deals with 'ape' or other encumbered formats
[07:55] <tsikis> anyone has any good torrent client that works and dont crash all the time like azureus besides ktorrent?
[07:55] <thinman1189> Toma-:Do you happen to know if java is more efficient in 7.04?
[07:55] <vanberge> thebillywayne, now that i have a working dvd drive - anything special i have to do in order to have dvd playback?  i already did the install libdvdread3
[07:55] <Ademan> odkjwodwodjkwodj: a virtual machine is like a way to have a "computer inside a computer" in a sense
[07:55] <Toma-> odkjwodwodjkwodj: i mean you cant "run" linux from windows. its a total windows replacement. you can run it from something like qemu for windows
[07:55] <mariov> DBO, when I run tremulous (and other 3d games) the screen goes black and i can't do a thing or see anything
[07:55] <jnc> Ademan: good question, answer is "undefined" :(
[07:55] <Toma-> thinman1189: it has a newer version, so i should suspect so
[07:55] <thebillywayne> vanberge, install mplayer?  :)
[07:55] <Ademan> jnc: why's it an option then? :-p
[07:56] <vanberge> thebillywayne,  i thought vlc would handle it
[07:56] <DBO> mariov, can you try planet penguin racer just for kicks?
[07:56] <thebillywayne> vanberge, either/or.  vlc is good too.
[07:56] <Ademan> jnc: rather unfortunate too cause i need it to move them, last time i tried having it copy them i ended up using up my entire hard disk
[07:56] <SurfnKid> jnc, i see, well this will be the last time i convert anything from that format to mp3
[07:56] <jnc> Ademan: hey I didn't write it.  I would presume that f-spot keeps a database, and disabled "copy" option means that it would have a reference to the pathname
[07:56] <Wriest> what is the channel to go to off topic?
[07:56] <vanberge> thebillywayne,  vlc just bombs when i try  :(
[07:56] <odkjwodwodjkwodj> Toma-, i dont want to ruin my windows... i just need to be able to run linux from a usb drive... how to do that? will that affect my windows files?
[07:56] <mariov> DBO, is that on the add/remove tool?
[07:56] <DBO> yes
[07:56] <jnc> SurfnKid: if you ask, I suggest that you figure out how to make Foobar2000 function with WINE
[07:57] <airtonix> does freenode still block tor connections?
[07:57] <user_> can somebody help me to get my proper screen resolution?
[07:57] <SurfnKid> jnc, whats Foobar2000?
[07:57] <Toma-> odkjwodwodjkwodj: if you install ubuntu or slax onto a USB drive, youll be booting off that drive, into a fresh linux each time. it wont effect windows at all
[07:57] <airtonix> sufnkid its a music player
[07:57] <thebillywayne> vanberge, launch vlc from a terminal so you'll see what errors come up.
[07:57] <airtonix> lol
[07:57] <odkjwodwodjkwodj> Toma- thanks alot! :)
[07:57] <thebillywayne> user_, what video driver?
[07:57] <SurfnKid> jnc, :P
[07:58] <Toma-> odkjwodwodjkwodj: np. you can ask more in #slax or check out their website
[07:58] <Ademan> jnc: any idea how i might get it to move everything rather than copy? heck, is there a fspot channel?
[07:58] <user_> oh thanks, nVidia drivers
[07:58] <Ademan> clearly not on this server...
[07:58] <jnc> SurfnKid: foobar2000 has some plugins which make it convenient for exporting to other lossless / lossy formats
[07:58] <mariov> DBO, i'm installing it
[07:58] <SurfnKid> i see
[07:58] <thebillywayne> user_, what resolution you aiming for?
[07:58] <jnc> Ademan: Gnome projects typically use irc.gnome.org
[07:58] <Wriest> can someone tell me the channel to off topic
[07:58] <thinman1189> Toma-: Sorry for the stupid question. My cpu is an amd athlon 64, I presume I should download the 64bit version?
[07:58] <airtonix> jnc: so foobar is native to linux?
[07:58] <Toma-> Wriest: #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:58] <thebillywayne> Wriest, #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:58] <user_> thebillywayne 1280*1024
[07:58] <thebillywayne> boo ya
[07:58] <Wriest> thanx
[07:58] <jnc> airtonix: no sir, it is a windows executable
[07:59] <Ademan> jnc: yeah i just tried there :-/
[07:59] <airtonix> jnc : /cry
[07:59] <jnc> airtonix: I noes.
[07:59] <Toma-> thinman1189: no. get the java package from the repositories with Synaptic. its best to keep to using packages
[07:59] <airtonix> jnc: for winamp also does the same
[07:59] <thebillywayne> user_, have you reconfigured your xserver since installing the nVidia driver?
[07:59] <Toma-> thinman1189: the version you need will be the only version available to you
[07:59] <user_> I don't know how to do that indeed
[07:59] <airtonix> jnc: i want the avs out of winamp native to linux.
[07:59] <jnc> airtonix: I like Amarok, and also exaile
[07:59] <user_> would you mind to explain it step by step?
[08:00] <thebillywayne> user_, well, I'm not very familiar with nVidia, honestly.  Let me ask a general question to the room.
[08:00] <user_> ok
[08:00] <airtonix> jnc: try gnomeMusicBrowser
[08:00] <jnc> airtonix: I hear foobar2000 works perfectly under WINE, which is good for most people
[08:00] <thebillywayne> Don't you have to reconfigure xserver after installing a new video driver?
[08:00] <jnc> airtonix: :)  that sounds new and interesting
[08:00] <bullgard4> The file 'acpiconf.c' is not on my computer. See
[08:00] <thinman1189> Toma-: Sorry for not clarifying. I'm talking about an install cd for ubuntu 7.04. My current ubuntu os has had problems whilst updating to 6.10. I think I'm just going to back up and do a clean install.
[08:00] <jnc> airtonix: veering off topic though haha
[08:00] <vanberge> thebillywayne,  i removed /home/user/.vlc dir ,and works now
[08:00] <airtonix> jnc: does foobar have the adnvancedVisulisationStudio from winamp?
[08:01] <odkjwodwodjkwodj> toma- i should download the .iso file or the .tar file??
[08:01] <airtonix> all: ooh sooryyy
[08:01] <user_> I haven't installed nVidia drivers yet, I'm just trying to figure out how to get a proper screen resolution
[08:01] <thebillywayne> vanberge, oh.  cool.  maybe I should try that (I've been having problems with dvd playback).
[08:01] <bullgard4> (http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/acpi/acpibif.c.) Where can I find it?
[08:01] <Toma-> thinman1189: ahh ok. i hear the 64bit distro is quite good now for managing the last of the 32bit apps like flash
[08:01] <Toma-> odkjwodwodjkwodj: iso. also, dont ask in here, move it to #ubuntu-offtopic if anywhere
[08:01] <bullgard4> The file 'acpiconf.c' is not on my computer. See  (http://people.freebsd.org/~ariff/acpi/acpibif.c.) Where can I find it?
[08:01] <SurfnKid> DBO, got a question about glxinfo
[08:02] <odkjwodwodjkwodj> ok
[08:02] <|chiz|_> thinman1189, you should install the x86 version, stay away from the nightmares of running the 64bit version, unless you really need 64bit computing, and if you're not sure on that one then probably don't
[08:02] <SurfnKid> DBO, would you know why I get this  glxinfo | grep Driver
[08:02] <airtonix> how do i change the text of the commandPrompt?
[08:02] <SurfnKid> Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":1.0".
[08:02] <SurfnKid>  instead of the ATI Mobility Radeon output, if it once worked before
[08:02] <jnc> airtonix: controlled by shell variable PS1
[08:02] <godlygeek> 'scuse me, all, I have a question about acpi/acpid/gnome-power-manager: Got feisty set up pretty easily on my new macbook, and this time around I decided to do things in a more ubuntu-y way, rather than throwing my own shell scripts all over the system.  So, i'm playing with gnome-power-manager and such, and I just accidentally let my laptop run down to 0 battery, taking the whole system with it - shouldn't something have asked the syst
[08:03] <user_> thebillywayne I don't need 3D support at all
[08:03] <JunZiJian> how to del the whole content in vi
[08:03] <airtonix> cheers
[08:03] <jnc> JunZiJian: d<PHONE_NUMBER>3651235 j
[08:03] <godlygeek> JunZiJian: ggdG
[08:03] <jnc> i.e. some ridiculous number, and the command for down one character
[08:03] <thebillywayne> user_, paste your /etc/X11/xorg.conf into the pastebin.
[08:03] <godlygeek> jnc: mine's better.  ;-)
[08:03] <|chiz|_> SurfnKid: are you running an xgl session?
[08:03] <LH> any good linux scripting gurus around?, i have this row where i need to replace (last part of $i) with some acctual code: for i in `find . -maxdepth 1 -type d`; do mkdir /share/(last part of $i) && mount --bind $i /share/(last part of $i); done
[08:03] <thinman1189> Toma-:Last time I tried to install off of a downloaded cd it hang in a pixelated loading screen. is there any way to check that my cd is not corrupted or should I just buy a cd?
[08:03] <JunZiJian> thks a lot
[08:04] <user_> thebillywayne excuse me but, how can I do that?
[08:04] <jnc> godlygeek: You win my hat.
[08:04] <aum> hi - what fs format is initrd in?
[08:04] <jnc> aum: depends on your kernel version
[08:04] <Toma-> thinman1189: you can get a free CD from ShipIt, and you can check the CDs integrity from the inital install screen
[08:04] <aum> <IP_ADDRESS>
[08:04] <thebillywayne> user_, open a terminal (Applications > Accessories > Terminal).  Enter the command: cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:04] <SurfnKid> |chiz|_, yes
[08:04] <godlygeek> LH: when you say "last part of $i", you mean....   if $i is /etc/init.d/ac.d, you want... ac.d?
[08:04] <thebillywayne> user_, then paste the output of that command to the pastebin.
[08:04] <jnc> aum: common initrd formats for kernels prior to 2.6.15 are gzipped ext2 filesystems, squashfs filesystems, or jffs
[08:05] <user_> thebillywayne done, now what?
[08:05] <LH> godlygeek, yeah
[08:05] <jnc> aum: more recent filesystems make use of initramfs
[08:05] <thebillywayne> user_, paste it to the pastebin.

[08:05] <SurfnKid> |chiz|_, it was giving me direct rendering: yes, once before now it doesnt, but the cube works fine
[08:05] <godlygeek> mkdir $i:t, if you're running bash or zsh
[08:05] <aum> jnc, i want to mount my initrd and look inside it
[08:05] <|chiz|_> SurfnKid: that is why you are getting that error, if you log in to a normal gnome/kde session then you won't have that error
[08:05] <jnc> aum: so, I forgot the sequence of events to pick one apart and recreate it, but it's not very simple
[08:05] <LH> thx
[08:05] <thebillywayne> user_, after you've pasted the output of that command to the pastebin, give me the link to your paste.  :)
[08:05] <user_> ubotu thanks pal, didn't know that
[08:06] <jnc> aum: google for like "custom initramfs" might turn up info you could read up on
[08:06] <user_> thebillywayne all right, that I'll do

[08:06] <Snowman> greetings.
[08:06] <thinman1189> Toma-:Yes but I don't want to wait the 10 weeks. I'd rather spend $10 and get it sooner. I checked it from the when I originally tried a while back. Everything checked out but it still didn't work.
[08:06] <Snowman> I realize this isn't the kubuntu channel, but would there be anyone here familiar with either ndiswrapper, or knetworkmanager (ideally both.)?
[08:06] <SurfnKid> |chiz|_, i see, so that has been the confusing part about ATI with XGL, that when im in a normal session direct rendering is working, but isnt once I go into XGL, is this how it's supposed to work?
[08:06] <Toma-> thinman1189: did you get any error messages?
[08:07] <airtonix> umm yeah not sure how to change sheel variables..is it with the ECHO command?
[08:07] <|chiz|_> thinman1189, when you had trouble with the install disc in the past was it the 32bit version or the 64bit version?
[08:07] <user_> thebillywayne if everything went right, it's: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19219/
[08:07] <airtonix> soeey shell variables
[08:07] <jnc> Snowman: i am slowly walking away :/
[08:07] <airtonix> gah...
[08:07] <jnc> airtonix: good guess, mate
[08:07] <Snowman> jnc: eh?
[08:08] <Toma-> thinman1189: and yeh, you can buy it, but that wont help that much. ShipIt only takes around 3 weeks
[08:08] <jordan> Hey, does anyone know much about how XMDCP really works, like is everything (graphics and junk) send uncompressed?
[08:08] <jnc> airtonix: pm if you want a little one-on-one for unix howto
[08:08] <godlygeek> Snowman: actual question, perhaps?  I'm no expert, but I might be able to help.
[08:08] <thinman1189> Toma-:No, it went into the loading screen and the moving portion of the loading bar froze on the right side. after about 5-10mins the screen became pixelated and didn't do anything.
[08:08] <Fylk> Is there any chance that we'll be getting pidgin any time soon?
[08:08] <thebillywayne> user_, you're wanting which resolution again?
[08:08] <Toma-> Fylk: no
[08:08] <thinman1189> Toma-:I think it may be my graphics card. I really want ubuntu but I don't have the money for a new one.
[08:09] <Fylk> Any reason why Toma?
[08:09] <user_> 1280*1024
[08:09] <jnc> jordan: good question, don't know the answer.  it's presumably over the X protocols
[08:09] <godlygeek> airtonx: 'echo' doesn't change shell variables, just can be used to output them.  to change the value of variable 'var' to value 'val', you can just type 'export var=val' (which will also make variable 'var' available to any new programs you launch)
[08:09] <[Meta] > I installed G++ through the Synaptic Package Viewer, where do I find it now?
[08:09] <Toma-> thinman1189: ok. have you tried looking at the boot options from the installer?
[08:09] <mario_> DBO, still there?
[08:09] <jordan> thanks jnc
[08:09] <DBO> mario_, yeah
[08:09] <jnc> [Meta] : 'g++' command?
[08:09] <godlygeek> [Meta] : open up a terminal and type 'g++'
[08:09] <[Meta] > Okay
[08:09] <Toma-> Fylk: compatibility, not needed, and if youre lucky, it might pop up in backports
[08:09] <Snowman> godlygeek: basically, I upgraded to 7.04, and can't seem to get my wireless behaving.  in knetwork manager, I managed to get online by manually configuring the ssid, key, etc.
[08:09] <|chiz|_> SurfnKid: yeah, its kind of crappy but if you want a composite desktop then that is currently the only solution, the xgl desktop steals the direct rendering, so if you find out you're having trouble with some games or something that needs dri then try logging in with a regular gnome/kde session
[08:09] <[Meta] > Weee.
[08:09] <jordan> Also, is there anything I need to do in order to optimize ubuntu 7.04's networking to utilize more than half of the gigabit LAN
[08:09] <[Meta] > *Errrr
[08:09] <[Meta] > That didn't work
[08:10] <DanaG> I actually like the http://repository.debuntu.org package of gaim -- it has the Bonjour plugin.
[08:10] <jnc> Snowman: oh.  another one of those
[08:10] <mario_> DBO, i downloaded the game, and when I tried to play all i could see wass a black screen
[08:10] <Snowman> however, I can no longer see a list of the wlans in the area.  I need to be able to do that to connect to other lans while travelling for work.
[08:10] <DanaG> That's the iChat-compatible LAN chat.
[08:10] <[Meta] > g++: no input files
[08:10] <jnc> Snowman: look at /etc/network/interfaces, is your wifi listed there?
[08:10] <godlygeek> [Meta] : what are you trying to do with g++, exactly?
[08:10] <Fylk> Toma: I don't see the not needed part. Pidgin has a number of important improvements.
[08:10] <mario_> DBO, i could hear, but i couldn't see a thing
[08:10] <[Meta] > Get it to run, godlygeek
[08:10] <jnc> [Meta] : you just ran it, without any input files
[08:10] <jnc> heh
[08:10] <Snowman> jnc: as per my response to godlygeek, I'm online via the wireless, it's just the list of available networks that's not working.
[08:10] <thinman1189> Toma-:When I tried installing I tried all the options and nothing seemed to work. I just went to try and download 7.04 and I got an error message saying the requested url was not found on the server.
[08:10] <[Meta] > ...Ohhhh
[08:10] <[Meta] > I get it.
[08:10] <[Meta] > Hahahaha
[08:10] <godlygeek> [Meta] : g++ is a c++ compiler:  It did run, it just didn't compile anything
[08:11] <[Meta] > So...
[08:11] <[Meta] > If I wanted to run a cpp file
[08:11] <godlygeek> [Meta] : do you know c++?  ;)
[08:11] <Toma-> Fylk: none of them security related :)
[08:11] <thebillywayne> user_, in the terminal, enter this command: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[08:11] <jnc> Snowman: oh... my bad.   'iwlist scanning' do anything for you?
[08:11] <[Meta] > I'm learning. :P
[08:11] <[Meta] > Anyway.
[08:11] <Toma-> thinman1189: try another mirror?
[08:11] <godlygeek> [Meta] : Good enough.  Create a cpp file, then compile it with 'g++ NAME.cpp'
[08:11] <thinman1189> Toma-:I've tried 4
[08:11] <LH> godlygeek, i tried this "for i in `find . -maxdepth 1 -type d`; do mkdir /share/$i:t; done" but that gave me "mkdir: cannot create directory `/share/./test.dir:t': Read-only file system"
[08:11] <mario_> DBO, has that ever happen to anyone?
[08:11] <user_> thebillywayne, done
[08:11] <Snowman> jnc: as in iwlist wlan0 scanning ?
[08:11] <godlygeek> that will create a file named 'a.out' which you can run with './a.out'
[08:11] <[Meta] > Okay. Hang on. I think I have one somewhere
[08:12] <Fylk> Toma: And? Does not improved usability and function count for something? Is that not the point of software?
[08:12] <Toma-> thinman1189: :S
[08:12] <Snowman> yeah, that lists the usual suspects for this neighborhood.
[08:12] <DBO> mario_, I don't really know whats going on unless it is putting the monitor out of sync for some reason
[08:12] <jnc> [Meta] : the 'make' command by default tries to do the right thing, if you have foobar.cc, then you run 'make foobar.cc' it will invoke the 'g++ -o foobar foobar.cc' you want
[08:12] <jnc> Snowman: yup
[08:12] <Toma-> Fylk: if that was the case, there would be 1000 updates to ubuntu every week
[08:12] <thebillywayne> user_, I've added the resolution you wanted to your xorg.conf.  Open your xorg.conf file using this command: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[08:12] <jnc> Snowman: checking dmesg for errors if it doesn't work
[08:12] <Snowman> so it's just knetworkmanager that's borked?  I'm wondering if I shouldn't just try ubuntu.  gnome is likely more polished now than when I last ran it.
[08:12] <mario_> DBO, what do you think, do you want me to send you the xorg.conf file?
[08:13] <Jack31> Where does the SVN command store the files it downloads?
[08:13] <Snowman> jnc: yeah, I can see the lans using iwlist
[08:13] <SurfnKid> |chiz|_, sure thing, I guess stealing is what its doing, so it's using direct rendering isnt? just doesnt show direct rendering to work cuz Xgl is on it, sort of right?
[08:13] <Fylk> Toma: Not really. As will all things, there is a limit to reason. Pidgin is a fairly large update, a number of large improvements. Not only that, but gaim is currently violating copywrite laws.
[08:13] <DBO> mario_, actually im sorry I have to do some work =(
[08:13] <thebillywayne> user_, then delete what's in the file and replace it with this pastebin.  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19220/
[08:13] <thinman1189> Toma-: Oh well, I've got class in the morning. Thanks for the help.
[08:13] <zie> mario, did you find the problem
[08:13] <user_> thebillywayne: ok, and now?
[08:13] <jnc> Snowman: probably some KDE specific thing, yeah
[08:13] <Skiguy> Hm. new problem. gedit won't run. tried reinstalling wtih now luck. anyone else had this problem? have any ideas?
[08:13] <user_> thebillywayne: ok
[08:13] <Snowman> how's wireless under ubuntu?  better than this shite?
[08:13] <Toma-> Fylk: lets continue in offtopic
[08:13] <Skiguy> no luck*
[08:13] <jnc> Skiguy: if you run 'gedit' from a terminal, is there an error?
[08:13] <Skiguy> nope
[08:13] <Skiguy> nuthin'
[08:14] <godlygeek> LH: uh... my bad, that apparently doesn't work in bash.  i'm very used to the niceties of zsh
[08:14] <Skiguy> doesn't start. no error.
[08:14] <zie> try apt - getit
[08:14] <mario_> DBO, thank's anyway, one final thing: how can I tell some other person to help me without having to tell all the story
[08:14] <tsikis> anyone has any good torrent client to suggest besides azureus and ktorrent?
[08:14] <thebillywayne> user_, after you've replaced what was in the file with what's in the pastebin, save the file and close gedit.  Then restart X by pressing ctrl-alt-backspace.
[08:14] <Skiguy> hm. okay. scratch that
[08:14] <[Meta] > g++: /home/c_to_f.cpp: No such file or directory g++: no input files
[08:14] <|chiz|_> SurfnKid: yeah something like that
[08:14] <DanaG> uTorrent under Wine, perhaps?
[08:14] <Skiguy> running it is okay.
[08:14] <user_> thebillywayne: saved
[08:14] <Flannel> tsikis: bittornado, it's already installed.
[08:14] <zie> is he compilling
[08:14] <Skiguy> trying to sudo open xorg.conf is the no go
[08:14] <DanaG> s/u//
[08:14] <godlygeek> LH: in that case, you should be able to use ${i##*/} instead of $i:t
[08:14] <tsikis> i know but it aint getting much of speed
[08:15] <[Meta] > Meh.
[08:15] <[Meta] > I'll mess with it later.
[08:15] <Snowman> can the ubuntu livecd use/install things like ndiswrapper?
[08:15] <[Meta] > And probably end up using the KDE compiler and environment. :/
[08:15] <godlygeek> [Meta]
[08:15] <jnc> godlygeek: typo?
[08:15] <rummik> where is inetd or xinetd?
[08:15] <Snowman> if so, then I could likely install ubuntu and see if it's just the kde crap that's the problem.
[08:15] <mario_> DBO, ?
[08:15] <jnc> Snowman: if you like KDE, use it
[08:15] <godlygeek> [Meta] : /home/c_to_f.cpp probably doesn't exist
[08:15] <rummik> or is there something i should be using instead of inetd or xinetd?
[08:15] <jnc> what can I say
[08:15] <orbin> Snowman: tried asking the folk in #kubuntu?
[08:15] <[Meta] > It does exist
[08:16] <godlygeek> [Meta] : you probably meant '~/c_to_f.cpp'
[08:16] <[Meta] > ..
[08:16] <Snowman> orbin: yeah.  they sent me here as they had no idea what was wrong.
[08:16] <[Meta] > What?
[08:16] <godlygeek> ~ expands to your home directory.
[08:16] <jnc> home directory is not /home
[08:16] <godlygeek> either that, or /home/USERNAME/c_to_f.cpp
[08:16] <jnc> it is /home/username
[08:16] <user_> thebillywayne: after I edit the file and save it, what should I do next?
[08:16] <airtonix> Snowman: well i jst looked at the wireless network manager for my lappy...and its seems way more improved than dapper
[08:16] <Snowman> airtonix: kde or gnome?
[08:16] <mraudiofreak> could someone help me work through a "Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost'" for a myth install, i've had it working before but this time it just won't go. The troubleshooting page isn't really working.
[08:16] <SurfnKid> |chiz|_, then thats fine :) dont do much gaming so no biggie I just wanted to get direct rendering: no, under xgl clarified, and you did it :)
[08:16] <zie> home is /home
[08:16] <Jack31> Where Does the SVN subversion command store the source it downlaods?
[08:16] <Toma-> DanaG: youre really quite random :D
[08:17] <[Meta] > Okay.
[08:17] <thebillywayne> user_, restart X.  ctrl-alt-backspace.  when you sign back in, you should see 1280x1024 in the options for Screen Resolution.
[08:17] <[Meta] > I think it compiled
[08:17] <Snowman> zie: home is /home/<username>, no?
[08:17] <zie> i use that alot when proggraming python
[08:17] <[Meta] > Now what?
[08:17] <jnc> mraudiofreak: sounds a lot like MySQL access denied  error
[08:17] <[Meta] > Oh
[08:17] <[Meta] > I see the a.out
[08:17] <airtonix> snowman: i did a netboot install from my isp's local mirror....its running beryl off the bat in grand style
[08:17] <zie> i just use /home
[08:17] <user_> thebillywayne: ok, thank you very much
[08:17] <Skiguy> okay. so "sudo gedit etc/X11/xorg.conf" prompts for a password, hangs for way too long, then resets to the prompt
[08:17] <thebillywayne> user_, be sure to report back, K?
[08:17] <[Meta] > Okay. I get it.
[08:17] <orbin> Snowman: well i'm not sure if knetworkmanager is the same as gnome's, but you're saying you don't see any networks in the applet?
[08:17] <airtonix> snowman: gnome
[08:17] <[Meta] > It worked too. :D
[08:17] <airtonix> snowman: i havent tried yet...
[08:18] <[Meta] > 'Twas just a program to convert celsius to fahrenheit.
[08:18] <Snowman> orbin: yeah.  I can connect, as I'm here using the NIC, but when I try to use the applet to select a different lan, I can't see any.
[08:18] <Skiguy> "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" works fine
[08:18] <DivineMonkey> Anyone know how i would completely reinstall from a bash recovery prompt?
[08:18] <thebillywayne> Skiguy, are you using Ubuntu or Kubuntu or Xubuntu?
[08:18] <rummik> i'm installing vmware, it wants either inetd or xinetd to be on here. shouldn't they be here? or should i just install one?
[08:18] <Snowman> orbin: which isn't going to help much at work, or at a client site.
[08:18] <godlygeek> [Meta] : A command line tutorial might be in order.  ;)  http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/
[08:18] <rohan> what does this error signify ? http://rafb.net/p/I09FKq79.html
[08:18] <orbin> Snowman: and iwlist scan shows them?
[08:18] <user_> thebillywayne: sorry man, didn't work
[08:18] <jnc> [Meta] : are you doing this for school? there's seriously better things to learn than C++ on a whim
[08:18] <Snowman> orbin: yep.
[08:18] <|chiz|_> SurfnKid: yeah, hopefully the boys at ati will give us a better driver with hardware composite support and we won't have to run this xgl desktop anymore... till then..
[08:18] <Snowman> orbin: so it's just that applet.
[08:18] <mario_> Who in the world can help me with my 3d games, none of them work, and I have my nvidia drivers installed???????????????????
[08:19] <thebillywayne> user_, did you try Preferences > Screen REsolution?
[08:19] <[Meta] > godlygeek, thanks for that, I wanted to learn it. :/
[08:19] <godlygeek> jnc:  You're wrong, c++ is the most useful thing in the world.  :-p
[08:19] <Toma-> mario_: run one in the terminal and see what the error message is
[08:19] <user_> thebillywayne: yep, same old resolutions
[08:19] <benanzo> Hello, I am interested if stock ubuntu kernel ia32 2.6.20-15-generic has support for EFI in mactels.  I apt-get installed elilo which also pulled down efibootmgr but that requires module efivars, which isn't available.
[08:19] <jnc> godlygeek: it's a joke set unto humanity by B.S.
[08:19] <mario_> toma-, there's no error
[08:19] <[Meta] > Most programs are written in C++
[08:19] <user_> thebillywayne: how can I make sure I did paste the correct lines?
[08:19] <Toma-> mario_: what games are you running?
[08:19] <Snowman> jnc: for a joke, it's quite the useful language.
[08:19] <mario_> toma-, the game starts but I can't see anything, i can hear
[08:19] <godlygeek> [Meta] : if you intend to run linux for the long run, you definitely want to learn how to work your way around a command line.
[08:19] <rummik> should i install inetd or xinetd?
[08:19] <zie> mario: go to System/Administration/Restrected Drivers Manager
[08:20] <[Meta] > I know. x.x
[08:20] <jnc> Snowman: IMO only because Ruby had not been developed yet
[08:20] <mario_> toma-, i've tried them all, from planet penguin racer, to tremulous and it's the same thing
[08:20] <godlygeek> jnc: So are you a C guy or a Java guy, then?  ;-)
[08:20] <[Meta] > I had Linux for about a month last time and I could do some basic stuff.
[08:20] <Toma-> mario_: do you know what pastebin is?
[08:20] <Snowman> jnc: ruby is amusing to me as well.  I do both, as well as some java.
[08:20] <mario_> zie, i talked to you earlier and
[08:20] <zie> enter your password
[08:20] <zie> i think i can help now
[08:20] <thebillywayne> user_, open the file that we just edited.  gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf.  Look in Section "Screen" and see if "1280x1024" is in the "Modes" line.
[08:21] <godlygeek> [Meta] : At the very least, understanding how to make and navigate directories, absolutely, relatively, and relatively to ~, will all come in VERY useful.
[08:21] <senectus> Hey peoples :-)
[08:21] <godlygeek> [Meta] : Oh, and list directory contents and such.  ;)
[08:21] <Skiguy> does the remote session use xorg.conf for display settings?
[08:21] <jnc> Snowman: I'm pleased with Ruby.  Nothing in it strikes me as quirky or senseless
[08:21] <Snowman> orbin: suggestions?
[08:21] <thebillywayne> !hi | senectus
[08:21] <ubotu> senectus: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[08:21] <zie> make shure the video card is set, thats my help. also make shure linuxs supports the video card
[08:21] <mario_> zie, thanks
[08:21] <[Meta] > I know how, godlygeek. I just don't know many shortenings
[08:21] <orbin> Snowman: can you connect to the network if you select "connect to other wireless" and manually enter details?
[08:21] <zie> go to google, type "does linux support "video card name""
[08:21] <zie> welcome
[08:21] <LH> godlygeek, worked great, thx
[08:22] <senectus> When I upgraded to feisty, it tells me it DID upgrade Firefox but if I do a Help -> About is says I'm still using 1.5... any reasons why?
[08:22] <godlygeek> jnc: Admittedly, c++ has some syntactic oddities, but it's quite nice that it compiles down to machine code and runs fast.
[08:22] <Snowman> jnc: all languages have their quirks.  it's just a matter of whether or not yours match the language. ;)  I find c++ logical, java to be it's pale shadow, and ruby to be oddly different, but nice.
[08:22] <thebillywayne> Is the nv driver the best driver for nVidia users?
[08:22] <godlygeek> LH: no prob.
[08:22] <user_> thebillywayne: it is, do I have to restart?
[08:22] <rummik> is there a reason both inetd and xinetd aren't here?
[08:22] <zie> i dont thank so the billy
[08:22] <isilloke> oy
[08:22] <Bradford> Hey, does anyone know how to change the boot priority in Grub???
[08:22] <thebillywayne> user_, well, ctrl-alt-backspace should have done it.
[08:22] <mario_> toma-, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/19212/ is it?
[08:22] <Snowman> orbin: no, I don't see anything in the options for wireless, I have to go into "manual configuration" and set up the interface through that.
[08:22] <isilloke> edit menu.lst
[08:22] <thebillywayne> zie, well user_ is using the nv driver for his GeForce3 and he can't even get 1280x1024.
[08:23] <jnc> Bradford: uh, boot "priority" like savedefault?
[08:23] <Snowman> [Meta] : because the universe hates your computer.
[08:23] <thebillywayne> Bradford, change the default number in /boot/grub/menu.lst.
[08:23] <orbin> Snowman: again, not sure if it's going to be the same, but what can you see when you right-click on the applet?
[08:23] <godlygeek> so, does this mean that no one in the channel knows anything about power settings?  :)
[08:23] <isilloke> bradford : change the line default =,
[08:23] <[Meta] > Yep.   Marry me. (*giggle*, a rare thing on IRC)
[08:23] <user_> thebillywayne: stupid question: should I have installed the nVidia drivers before doing all the things you told me?
