[09:28] <maggi> there are pre-built appliances
[09:28] <Tonren> Maul555: In fact, VMWare Server is trying to run WINDOWS in Linux.

[09:33] <maggi> you also got a trigger for custom live CDs? :\
[09:33] <maggi> i'm trying to build a custom live cd from ubuntu 6.10. all i want is using a patched kernel instead of the one that came with caspar. my problem: after booting caspar from the cd (testing done with VMWare) and chosing my patched kernel, the kernel fails to boot because it isnt able to open /scripts/caspar (message: "/init: .: 124: Can't open /scripts/caspar") and ends up with a panic. any idea?
[09:33] <jrib> !customlivecd | maggi

[09:33] <conq\afk> /load -rs c:\program files\mirc\scripts\casper\page
[09:33] <jrib> yes :)
[09:33] <maggi> okay then
[09:33] <maggi> it doesnt work!
[09:33] <maggi> what now?
[09:33] <nekr0z> A camera used to connect to my laptop OK, now after some update F-Spot says I'm not allowed to access USB device or something like this. I have found in forums, camera should be in /etc/udev/rules.d/45-libgphoto2.rules to work, mine IS ALREADY there, I seem to be stuck. Any ideas?
[09:34] <maggi> the tutorial does not discribe using a different kernel with the live cd
[09:34] <conq\afk> //say $$mircdir
[09:34] <maggi> hey?
[09:34] <maggi> jrib
[09:35] <maggi> i saw that guid myself
[09:35] <aigarius> here is a new problem. OpenOffice + MS TTF core fonts. Worked fine untile sometime this week. Now random fonts disappear from my document. As in the text is still there and shows up, if I change the font, but that specific font shows as blank even in the font chooser. Export to PDF somehow has the tendency to trigger which fonts are affected at the particular moment.
[09:35] <maggi> guide
[09:35] <maggi> it's not what i want to do
[09:35] <maggi> i want to use a different kernel
[09:35] <esshark> hi - will be in the ubuntu 7.04 the current nvidia driver?
[09:36] <PriceChild> esshark, #ubuntu+1 please. And it include 9631
[09:36] <sbn> I'm having problems with the desktop cd
[09:36] <sbn> IT doesn't load X on my pc
[09:37] <TheMonkeyMoo> so has anyone had any luck getting a UPEK touchchip fingerprint scanner working?
[09:37] <maggi> lol you guys are funny -.-
[09:37] <PriceChild> sbn, tried safe graphics mods?
[09:37] <rdw200169> i'm curious what everyone here thinks:
[09:37] <maggi> dont post me links to tutorials
[09:37] <PriceChild> sbn,  *mode
[09:37] <maggi> i need help
[09:37] <_ant_> nekr0z : you there?
[09:37] <rdw200169> does Ubuntu need an Ubuntu-specific firewall administration tool?
[09:37] <nekr0z> _ant_: yep
[09:37] <PriceChild> rdw200169, No. All ports are closed by default. Use firewall or guarddog to manage it
[09:37] <maggi> firestarter
[09:38] <_ant_> nekr0z : i once had a permissions problem with my camera and this is what i did http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=428146
[09:38] <PriceChild> rdw200169, maggi yeah firestarter sorry :P
[09:38] <kitche> or plain iptables
[09:38] <sbn> PriceChild yes I did
[09:38] <finer> i have a centrino CPU, so i installed i686 kernel. should i keep the i386 version, or is there no value?
[09:38] <nekr0z> _ant_: tnx, I;ll have a look.
[09:38] <jrib> maggi: I have no idea about your issue, you just asked if there was a factoid so I showed you, hope you sort it out
[09:38] <rdw200169> what about something similar to how OS X does their firewall
[09:39] <Tonren> Is there a way to unAce an Ace archive OTHER than unace, without using VMWare or a windows partition? anyone know?
[09:39] <maggi> :\
[09:39] <maggi> okay
[09:39] <kitche> rdw200169: linux doesn't have a tool like *BSD tool at least fromw hat I have seen
[09:39] <maggi> it doesnt make any sense
[09:39] <Jowi> maggi, you can not change kernel on the live cd. but you can after you've installed the system (or create your own live cd somehow)
[09:39] <jrib> Tonren: why?  out of curiousity
[09:39] <rdw200169> but it can
[09:39] <Tonren> jrib: I really want to play Fallout, but I lost my disc and the download is an Ace archive
[09:39] <maggi> Jowi: this is what i did...
[09:39] <coco> uit
[09:39] <_ant_> nekr0z : use lsusb to find the device # then use chmod go+w /proc/bus/usb/bus#/device#
[09:39] <TheMonkeyMoo> finer: I believe you want either the smp kernel or i386 generic. I am running i386 generic on my centrino
[09:39] <Errhec> hi anybody knov how to set the dual screen on radeon 9200 from boot on?
[09:39] <jrib> Tonren: right, but why don't you use unace?
[09:40] <maggi> as i said, the kernel wont boot correctly and ends up with a panic
[09:40] <_ant_> nekr0z : it is not a permanent fix but will let you use it when you need it
[09:40] <Tonren> jrib: Apparently it's not compatible with the particular Ace I downloaded
[09:40] <rdw200169> from my experience, firewalling in linux, even with firestarter, has been an absolute pain, which i think should be solved
[09:40] <jrib> Tonren: do you have unace-nonfree?
[09:40] <Tonren> jrib: Er, um... no.
[09:40] <maggi> the error message: "/init: .: 124: Can't open /scripts/caspar"
[09:40] <kitche> rdw200169: it's as easy as *BSD firewalling probably even easier but firestarter is just a frontend really to iptables
[09:41] <Jowi> maggi, try with and without initrd
[09:41] <jeanre> why does mysql not create a tmp/mysql.sock?
[09:41] <Tonren> jrib: It's not in any of my repos
[09:41] <rdw200169> kitche: oh, i know, but it has a bunch of major flaws
[09:41] <jrib> !info unace-nonfree | Tonren
[09:41] <ubotu> tonren: Package unace-nonfree does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[09:41] <maggi> without initrd? is that possible?
[09:41] <Tonren> Yeah, see?
[09:41] <nekr0z> _ant_: a permanent one would sound more nice :( but thank you anyway...
[09:41] <jrib> heh, I'm on feisty, give me a sec
[09:41] <maggi> it contains important kernel drivers...
[09:41] <Tonren> jrib: I'm on Edgy
[09:41] <colbert> Hi guys I am confused about my Power Management, I have set my computer to Hibernate after 30 mins and when I come home twice now, I press power button and it goes right back on in Ubuntu, everything is fine except my USB mouse never works ????
[09:41] <Tonren> jrib: How is Feisty, btw?
[09:42] <_ant_> nekr0z : you could use that script or write your own but otherwise, sorry
[09:42] <nekr0z> _ant_: god, the thing worked like a dream 2 weeks ago!!!
[09:42] <rdw200169> kitche: i'm not proposing a replacement of iptables, just a better, Ubuntu-specific, mDNS friendly, solution
[09:42] <Jowi> maggi, no it is a temp filesystem
[09:42] <maggi> i know
[09:42] <_ant_> nekr0z : oh, mine never worked...
[09:42] <maggi> so
[09:42] <maggi> how do i boot without it?
[09:42] <_ant_> nekr0z : i have to type those two lines everytime i want to use it
[09:43] <jrib> Tonren: nice, some nifty new features.  What's the exact error message from unace?
[09:44] <nekr0z> _ant_: wonder why you still keep using it. I would smash the thing after 10th time :))))
[09:44] <rdw200169> something that can set up complex routing, and implement the firewalling to go with :)
[09:44] <WC`> quick question about restarting gnome
[09:44] <maggi> but Jowi: i'm using that kernel (and initrd) right now!
[09:44] <rdw200169> for example, dual gateways, or multiple lan's
[09:44] <jrib> Tonren: you could try running unace in wine
[09:44] <maggi> it just does not work for the live-cd
[09:44] <WC`> occasionally my menus freeze, so i restart gnome with ctrl alt backspace
[09:44] <_ant_> nekr0z : well to be honest i dont use my cam very much, i have to save those commands to a text file so i remember them
[09:44] <WC`> when i log in again
[09:44] <WC`> i have no menus
[09:44] <Jowi> maggi, you said you got panic.
[09:45] <maggi> yes
[09:45] <alber73> hello
[09:45] <WC`> also, all my other programs have terminated
[09:45] <WC`> how do i get my menus back?

[09:45] <Tonren> jrib: Where do I get it?  download.com or somethin'?
[09:45] <Jowi> maggi, so it works fine on your installed system but not when burned to cd?
[09:45] <maggi> right
[09:45] <shadedream> wow
[09:45] <shadedream> lots of people in channel here ;)
[09:45] <Jowi> maggi, that is a tad stranger.
[09:46] <maggi> :D
[09:46] <jrib> Tonren: winace.com is what I would try
[09:46] <maggi> i mounted the squashfs to see wether the file is at the right place
[09:46] <shadedream> anyone by any chance have any experience installing ubuntu on a sparc?
[09:46] <maggi> ...it is :\
[09:46] <maggi> so strange..
[09:46] <jrib> Tonren: they seem to have 2.5 for linux on their home page too
[09:46] <Tonren> jrib: Hmm
[09:46] <reap> .
[09:47] <maggi> the kernel is patched, maybe this has something to do with it?
[09:47] <Tonren> jrib: Thanks for the tip

[09:49] <_ant_> well look at that...
[09:49] <jeanre> dont you love it when mysql fails to start
[09:49] <Jowi> maggi, you might want to try it on a different pc. or do you have only modules included that fits the machine you're on now? might be specific to your hardware somehow..
[09:49] <maggi> yes, maybe
[09:50] <Smog_21> Hello, it is my first time here in Ubuntu IRC Chat
[09:50] <rwx--r--r> okIE _ant_
[09:50] <maggi> i'll try it on a different pc
[09:50] <maggi> give me a sec
[09:50] <Jowi> maggi, you get any more info other than "panic.."?
[09:50] <maggi> yes
[09:50] <maggi> ah
[09:50] <nekr0z> _ant_: hmmm... have you found the script that mounts the whole thing, like /etc/rc.d/rc.udev they got in Slack? I think I know the bug there... Just came over an idea.
[09:50] <maggi> i tried it with VMWare
[09:50] <maggi> ...only
[09:50] <shadedream> _ant_:  are you familiar with sparc installation beyond directing me to that link? ;)
[09:50] <maggi> but the stock kernel works fine

[09:51] <_ant_> nekr0z : i didn't even play with it, dont use cam much and was content with the two liner to use it
[09:51] <Smog_21> Thank you
[09:51] <_ant_> nekr0z : but that is cool
[09:51] <shadedream> the generic and ide-generics did not work

[09:54] <joe4444> Ng, well it's been discontinued a long time so i couldn't find any info at all on their website
[09:54] <joe4444> i know there are driver database websites... anything like that for BIOS firmware?
[09:55] <Ng> joe4444: normally I'd expect to find even old things in their support section or on their ftp site. I wouldn't want to upgrade my BIOS with something I found on a random site ;/
[09:55] <_ant_> Ng : good advise
[09:55] <joe4444> Ng, maybe they have an ftp i didn't see before... it's an off-brand i got from a friend so it seems their support isn't the best
[09:56] <joe4444> i guess DDR333 isn't too bad tho if i can't fix it
[09:56] <joe4444> probably wouldn't even notice a difference considering i just went from 512mb to 2gb =)
[09:57] <dimeotane> is there  a terminal command to list the capabilities of my burner?

[09:58] <maggi> caspar is the loader on the ubuntu-live cd
[09:58] <maggi> it boots up the kernel
[09:58] <euclid__> is there are file with the messages from boot but not like the /var/log/messages, that seems to be too full of detailed information?

[10:00] <Maul555> rowland:  dump fiesty
[10:00] <Maul555> !!!
[10:00] <PriceChild> !feisty > rowland (support in #ubuntu+1 )
[10:00] <jeanre> how do I use apt-get to remove a package and its configus?
[10:00] <maggi> arrummzen: you meant a _GUI_ tool & yes
[10:00] <gubluntu> apt-get remove pacakge
[10:00] <billy> Maul555 : post the error.
[10:00] <Lamego> gubluntu, depends on your question :)
[10:00] <arrummzen> maggi, can it be run without X11?
[10:01] <billy> Maul555 : if it isn't too long.
[10:01] <Lamego> jeanre,  apt-get --purge remove package
[10:01] <maggi> arrummzen: it wouldnt be a _GUI_ tool then... ;)
[10:01] <arrummzen> maggi, I didn't ask for a GUI tool!
[10:01] <arrummzen> I asked for a TUI tool...
[10:01] <Maul555> yeah, umm... errr... give me a min...
[10:01] <sebrock> devilspie devilspie devilspie :D

[10:02] <rowland> Anyone know a PERMANENT fix for  2nd gen iPod in Edgy
[10:02] <PriceChild> arrummzen, adduser ?
[10:02] <borisyeltsin> So I have a whole bunch of receipts I want to scan in and track in some system. Any recommendations on a system to use?
[10:02] <PriceChild> rowland, fix for what?
[10:02] <jeanre> and reconfigure it?
[10:02] <Tonren> Grr... Fallout ALMOST works
[10:02] <arrummzen> maggi, a TUI program is a tool that runs in text mode but it isn't "command line", something like midnight commander is TUI.
[10:02] <maggi> ah okay
[10:02] <maggi> no
[10:02] <jeanre> because I remove the /etc/mysql dir
[10:02] <maggi> :D
[10:02] <arrummzen> PriceChild, I was looking for something a bit more advanced than that...
[10:02] <maggi> afaik
[10:02] <PriceChild> arrummzen, Sorry :)
[10:02] <n-iCe> How can I install automatix ?
[10:03] <n-iCe> To install swift
[10:03] <gubluntu> n-ice, you dont
[10:03] <jeanre> and reinstalling mysql does not recreate it
[10:03] <Lamego> gubluntu, that error usually means you are trying to use an IP address which is not set on any of your network interfaces
[10:03] <PriceChild> !automatix | n-iCe
[10:03] <ubotu> n-iCe: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[10:03] <arooni> folks
[10:03] <_ant_> arrummzen : i think the word is console based no?
[10:03] <n-iCe> !install
[10:03] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[10:03] <arooni> i have a folder /etc/asterisk that i cant access .... it says 'persmission denied' when i try to cd to it
[10:03] <arooni> any ideas?
[10:03] <n-iCe> gubluntu,  why not
[10:04] <n-iCe> PriceChild, a terminal command ? do you have one ?
[10:04] <maggi> arooni, you need to be root
[10:04] <gubluntu> lamego, im behind a firewall, with an external ns pointing to my external ip of the router with correct ports forwarded... how do i add my external ip to my interface without messing my network setup
[10:04] <arooni> maggi: ok how can i do this
[10:04] <_ant_> arroni : i have had that problem, i did a su -i to get a root prompt and then did what i had to do...
[10:04] <ddude> hello all
[10:04] <jeanre> anyone?
[10:04] <n-iCe> !swiftfox
[10:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about swiftfox - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:04] <gubluntu> n-ice.. sorry.. i have had bad experiances with automatix a long time ago..
[10:04] <n-iCe> gubluntu,  why ?
[10:04] <maggi> arooni, "sudo <your command>" executes this command as root
[10:04] <jeanre> how do I get apt to recreate the /etc/mysql dir with files?
[10:04] <n-iCe> Then how can I install swift ?
[10:04] <pyrohotdog> Anyone know why Gnomebaker won't show mp3's? I have lame installed...
[10:04] <arooni> _ant_: it said.... invalid command (-i)
[10:04] <gubluntu> !swift
[10:04] <arooni> to sudo
[10:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about swift - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:04] <_ant_> maggi: you cant sudo "cd"
[10:04] <rowland> PriceChild Edgy wont mount this particular model because of a Raid/Hal problem.  I've tried a fairly lengthy fix involving 7 downloads which sorts it but only until restart it seems.
[10:04] <ddude> i have Ubuntu Edgy and i can't find my """/etc/inittab""" !!!!
[10:05] <PriceChild> Not a clue sorry rowland.
[10:05] <maggi> _ant_, i didnt told him to do so ;)
[10:05] <Lamego> gubluntu, you can't set your external IP on that server, your problem is that all your servers should be configured to your intranet IP, not to the internet one
[10:05] <maggi> arooni, try "sudo ls /etc/asterik"
[10:05] <Maul555> billy: its not giving me the error this time...  but xserver refuses to start none the less...
[10:05] <_ant_> maggi: sorry, :X
[10:05] <rwx--r--r> arooni:  try to give read n execute permission to that user
[10:06] <arooni> rwx--r--r: how would i do that
[10:06] <billy> Maul555 : you need to reconfigure.
[10:06] <Lamego> the port forwarding takes care of moving the data into your local IP
[10:06] <arooni> i'm a neebwie
[10:06] <rowland> why is my name not coloured when someone replies
[10:06] <jeanre> damn
[10:06] <jeanre> what is wrong here
 http://programming.reddit.com/info/19c36/comments </advertisement>
[10:06] <PriceChild> rowland, what client?
[10:06] <mitsuhiko> anybody how wants textmate for ubuntu -> reddit it please :)
[10:06] <jeanre> I can not get mysql to recreate the /etc/mysql/ entries
[10:06] <Maul555> billy: its supposed to do that automaticly, and even when i did reconfigure, i got no better results
[10:06] <maggi> arooni, to which user? root?
[10:06] <Lamego> rowland, because thats the default on xchat, highlight when someone writes your nick
[10:06] <rowland> do you mean version.....sorry Xchat
[10:06] <arooni> maggi: i want to give my normal user (chasetoys) the ability to access and read/edit these files in /etc/asterisk
[10:07] <youser> so i got feisty fawn to boot the live cd on my intel 965 chipset!!!!
[10:07] <PriceChild> youser, > #ubuntu-effects
[10:07] <gubluntu> lamego, ah.. trying that now..
[10:07] <youser> trying to dual boot though i cant resize my windows partition with any partition programs
[10:07] <billy> Maul555 ; when you reconfigured did you see a new video driver to choose from?
[10:07] <maggi> arooni, you should read some unix basics
[10:07] <jeanre> anyone got ideas?
[10:07] <youser> effects?
[10:07] <maggi> try
[10:07] <maggi> "man chmod"
[10:07] <rowland> rowland
[10:08] <Maul555> i saw nvidia, just like i saw it before... only this time, it doesnt work at all
[10:08] <XarvoX> hi all
[10:08] <Lamego> gubluntu, but well, be sure to not mess, service names, like virtual hosts on apache, with hostnames/IPs
[10:08] <maggi> you will know what to do afterwards...
[10:08] <arooni> maggi: which should i do?  chmod 077 asterisk ?
[10:08] <billy> !hi | XarvoX
[10:08] <ubotu> XarvoX: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[10:08] <XarvoX> does anyone have time to help a noob? :)
[10:08] <XarvoX> thank yoU :D
[10:08] <Lamego> you can use external hostnames for virtualhots, and long they are bind to the intranet IP
[10:08] <Lamego> as
[10:08] <jeanre> ok someone can help me with my mysql issue?
[10:08] <dimeotane> xarvox : can't hurt to ask yer questions
[10:08] <Lamego> !anyone
[10:08] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:08] <rowland> Maul555 I have just installed feisty, getting a nvidia insert CD rom error.  I've been advised to dump feisty
[10:09] <gubluntu> lamego.. worked... :D thanks
[10:09] <PriceChild> rowland, feisty is not released yet
[10:09] <rwx--r--r> arooni:  thats user iz related with particuler group or others group And What permissions particuler user have or dir..
[10:09] <Maul555> rowland:  fiesty is an unstable build and will have problems
[10:09] <Lamego> rowland, you should open a bug report if you found a bug on feisty
[10:09] <youser> feisty is all that works for me
[10:09] <youser> even remotely
[10:09] <XarvoX> i installed ubuntu 6.10 on a powermac g3 (blue/white) and fell in love completely, but when i tryed to install it on my main computer (powermac g4 quicksilver) it simply will not boot.. (same cd)
[10:09] <rowland> PriceChild, I was told to try it to see if it sorts my iPod mount issue
[10:09] <arooni> rwx--r--r: i have no idea how to find that out
[10:09] <ompaul> !worksforme | youser
[10:09] <Maul555> billy:  i think the easiest thing to do here is just put an ati card in the computer, i didnt have any problems when i ran ubuntu on my ati card last time...
[10:09] <ubotu> youser: Common Sense: Just because you can, does not mean you should. Think before you do. "Works for me" does not mean it is ok. The latest version of everything is not always useful if you aim for stability.
[10:09] <youser> except i cant resize my hard drive im wondering if its because its a sata 500gb hd?
[10:09] <PriceChild> rowland, ah... well now that it doesn't, best you don't use it ;)
[10:09] <pyrohotdog> Anyone know why Gnomebaker can't see mp3s?
[10:10] <rwx--r--r> !oracle
[10:10] <ubotu> If you -must- install oracle .... here's a good place to start: http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/linux/install/xe-on-kubuntu.html
[10:10] <rwx--r--r> thanks ubotu.. for the oracle stuff
[10:10] <ompaul> !codecs  > pyrohotdog
[10:10] <rowland> PriceChild, haven't tried that yet got stuck with the whole Nvidia thing!!!
[10:10] <Lamego> thats oracle XE
[10:10] <_ant_> !chmod | arooni
[10:10] <ubotu> arooni: The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard - file permissions are explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[10:10] <maggi> arooni, how do you want to set file permissions for owner/group/everyoun?
[10:10] <billy> Maul555 : I've found that when struggle is met with increased resistance, the path of least resistance is the one to take.  <-- My zen for the day.
[10:10] <maggi> everyone
[10:10] <_ant_> arooni : you have to read to learn
[10:10] <rwx--r--r> arooni:  then u have to read some unix basics.
[10:10] <rowland> Shouldn't my name highlight in Xchat???
[10:11] <ompaul> rwx--r--r, you can do /msg ubotu keyword and get it to tell you what you need quitely
[10:11] <PriceChild> rowland, support in #ubuntu+1
[10:11] <Maul555> billy: is that your way of saying i should do that without making it look like your giving up?
[10:11] <pyrohotdog> I have lame installed already...I can play mp3s just fine.
[10:11] <maggi> lol
[10:11] <XarvoX> when trying to boot from live cd (v.6.10, powermac g4) i get to the first text input (boot option) but regardless of what i try it crashes my computer.. Does ANYONE have a ide of what to do?
[10:11] <_ant_> ompaul : i didn't know that.
[10:11] <rwx--r--r> _ant_:  yes u are right i suggest that too
[10:12] <billy> Maul555 : man, if I had more experience with nvidia drivers I really would go the distance.  But I don't, so I can't.  I'm sorry that script hasn't helped you.  Before installing the new chip, try posting in the ubuntu forum that I linked you to.  It's worth a shot.
[10:12] <ompaul> _ant_, and then you can do !keyword > person (here you tell person to check message from bot)
[10:12] <rwx--r--r> XarvoX:  did you check CD media?
[10:12] <dimeotane> XarvoX:  try  the dapper 6.06 cd... also check the ubuntu forums
[10:12] <Maul555> its allright, the ati card isnt a wimp, it will do fine....
[10:12] <_ant_> ompaul : i'm obsorbing.. keep it coming :P
[10:12] <XarvoX> rwx--r--r: its a known good cd (worked on my powermac g3)
[10:13] <gubluntu> lamego.. i have one more question for you now.... trying the http://site:7071/zimbraAdmin     trys to download a binary file in firefox
[10:13] <XarvoX> dimetonate: ive tryed v 6.06 aswell (official printed cd) same issue..
[10:13] <ompaul> _ant_, I think maybe twice a year I would say use google and not give a url but those would be very strange situations
[10:13] <dimeotane> XarvoX:  just cause it works on one.. doesn't mean it's good.  my new Dell laptop could hardly read a CD-R burned on my older toshiba
[10:13] <Lamego> gubluntu, that usually means you are missing some module
[10:13] <rwx--r--r> !install
[10:13] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[10:13] <Maul555> billy:  just dont be suprised if i have some ati driver questions in about 10 min... lol...
[10:13] <ompaul> _ant_, don't get worn out
[10:13] <Lamego> to interpret the files instead of just dumping them to your browser
[10:14] <deiaccord> XarvoX, is your G4 set to boot from CD?
[10:14] <_ant_> ompaul : strange just means "new" to me, i like strange
[10:14] <dimeotane> xarvox: when you boot it and it 'doesn't work... what happens?
[10:14] <billy> Maul555 : :)
[10:14] <ddude>  i have Ubuntu Edgy and i can't find my """/etc/inittab""" !!!!
[10:14] <XarvoX> dimeotane; i have 2 cd, one _original_ release with the ubuntu paper case and so on, so that one should work
[10:14] <rwx--r--r> XarvoX:  Read The installationg guide on the web
[10:14] <gubluntu> lamego.. changed it to https and it worked
[10:14] <ompaul> _ant_, msg me for more stuff this is turning into a convo
[10:14] <ddude> Help needed,  i have Ubuntu Edgy and i can't find my """/etc/inittab""" !!!!
[10:14] <Lamego> so you are good, its safer :P
[10:14] <XarvoX> ive already installed it on my g3 and that worked fine.. this seems like a bit more dificoult problem.. :/
[10:15] <radioaktivstorm> hello. is it possible to reset the settings for my user account.  im having an issue where the gnome-settings-daemon keeps restarting, and then eventually just gives up
[10:15] <dimeotane> XarvoX: so when you boot it how far do you get?
[10:15] <rowland> Whoohoo iPod problem mounting resolved in Feisty!!!! Now I have Nvidia problems....when using Synaptic it says insert CD.  I do but it doesn't recognise it!!!!
[10:15] <Lamego> rowland, do you have an internet connection ?
[10:15] <Lamego> on your ubuntu box ?
[10:15] <rowland> Lamego  Yes
[10:15] <ddude> please :D somebody? i have Ubuntu Edgy and i can't find my """/etc/inittab""" !!!!
[10:16] <Lamego> rowland, sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:16] <Lamego> remove the cdrom entry
[10:16] <Lamego> and: sudo apt-get update
[10:16] <jeanre> can someone post /etc/mysql/my.cnf on pastebin for me please
[10:16] <sebrock> could anyone please help me getting devilspie to work? I've installed it with synaptic
[10:16] <XarvoX> after the live boot option (about 10 secs after boot) it rolls for about 15-30 secs and then crashes. i cant see anything after the boot option, and i assume my computer crashes when the capslock light wont turn on anymore
[10:17] <jeanre> hmmm anyone please?
[10:17] <Lamego> !anyone > jeanre
[10:17] <Jowi> radioaktivstorm, rename (or remove if you don't care about having backups) .gnome, .gnome2* and .gtkrc*. that's as close as you can get I think
[10:18] <sebrock> anyone?
[10:18] <Lamego> !anyone
[10:18] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:18] <dimeotane> xarvox: there are various booting options for ubuntu you may need to try.  I've managed to get xubuntu on a really old imac and it works nicely.    Did you try searching the ubuntuforums.org for your problem?
[10:18] <billy> Maul555 : I'm going to disconnect for a moment.  BRB
[10:18] <jeanre> Lamego: I did ask a real question
[10:18] <XarvoX> dimeotane, since im total noob on linux, i dont even know what to search for..
[10:18] <radioaktivstorm> Jowi, thanks! also, is there any way i can get kde to stop overriding the settings gnomeside?
[10:18] <william> Hi all, could someone help and explain to me how to mount a new serial ATA HD that everyone using this computer is able to store data on it.
[10:18] <Lamego> ah
[10:19] <Lamego> sorry, i saw, now
[10:19] <phpnub> Hola!
[10:19] <Jowi> radioaktivstorm, no idea. I haven't used kde in years.
[10:19] <dimeotane> XarvoX: ok.. I can help.. what's the mac version we should look up
[10:19] <XarvoX> .. ive been using mac for 18 years now, but im total deadbeat when it comes to linux and boot procedures...
[10:19] <arooni> folks... su -i doesnt do anything
[10:19] <arooni> i get an invalid command
[10:19] <XarvoX> :D mac version?
[10:19] <billy> arooni: there's no root in ubuntu.
[10:19] <Flannel> arooni: it's sudo, not su.  Are you sure you need a shell?
[10:19] <dimeotane> XarvoX: thats ok... consider it a new hobby... it takes time to get the feel for it..
[10:19] <XarvoX> indeed it does :)
[10:19] <Lamego> jeanre, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9704/
[10:19] <phpnub> arooni, -i is an invalid option
[10:19] <Jowi> arooni, "sudo -i" might be what you're looking for
[10:19] <william> the partition part and the formating wasn't the problem but after mounnting I just can't get write access for ordanry user
[10:19] <dimeotane> XarvoX: yea I think you said it's a G4 or something?
[10:20] <billy> arooni:  for whatever superuser tasks you need, place a `sudo` before it.
[10:20] <radioaktivstorm> Jowi, thanks. i tried installing kde to see what it was like...but i like gnome better. the problem im having is that now i have a mix of four or five different themes and its a real mess. hopefully your suggestion will help :)
[10:20] <XarvoX> dimeotane, ya, powermac g4 867mhz quicksilver (year 2001)

[10:21] <phpnub> Flannel, does that work for piped commands?
[10:22] <Flannel> phpnub: Eh?  sudo -i opens a shell.  If you want to pipe commands, you'll need to use sudo on the second command, or perhaps the "tee" command, depending on what sort of thing you're piping
[10:22] <plyskin> anyone have a good guide for getting dual monitors working in XGL with Beryl , with ATI Radeon 9800 card?

[10:25] <arrummzen> Flannel, how can I check?
[10:25] <bulmer> they have vista in Nigeria? hehehe..or is that warez?
[10:25] <Flannel> arrummzen: lsb_release -a
[10:25] <shatrat> adrian_, if it's installed just use "wine /path/to/some/executable.exe" to run a win32 executable
[10:25] <jrib> phpnub: what place?
[10:25] <arrummzen> bash: lsb_release: command not found
[10:25] <phpnub> jrib, it's an ftp site
[10:25] <colorred> MADMODMIKE: are you installing vista or ubuntu?
[10:25] <MADMODMIKE> want ubuntu
[10:25] <phpnub> jrib, my smb links still work with no problem
[10:25] <Flannel> arrummzen: er... Are you on linux?
[10:26] <arrummzen> Flannel, yea....
[10:26] <adrian_> shatrat: would do but can't seem to find it
[10:26] <jrib> phpnub: how did you add it?
[10:26] <Flannel> arrummzen: You're using what flavor of ubuntu?
[10:26] <shatrat> adrian_, find what?
[10:26] <arrummzen> Flannel, I don't know =P
[10:26] <Flannel> arrummzen: Ubuntu? Kubuntu? Xubuntu?  What did you install?
[10:26] <jeanre> ok I guess no one has a clue on my mysql error
[10:26] <arrummzen> Flannel, I didn't do that install myself.
[10:27] <arrummzen> Flannel, The docs say it is "Ubuntu 6.06"
[10:27] <Flannel> arrummzen: I see.  Ok, well, uh, what color is the desktop?
[10:27] <adrian_> shatrat: where wine is located
[10:27] <XarvoX> dimeotane, ive done that exactly (as stated in first entry) but didnt get further than the first screen, and the responce given in the thread is for 64bit processor.. i have 32.. :/
[10:27] <MTec007> whats it mean when the cd loads almost into X (and probably into X) and the screen is black?
[10:27] <phpnub> jrib, File -> connect to server -> ftp with login
[10:27] <D--> Odd question. In installed Ubuntu, then added Xubuntu-desktop via package manager. Is there any way for me to remove some of the junk it forces me to install like AbiWord and Thunderbird?
[10:27] <shatrat> adrian_, its a program youve installed, it doesnt matter where it is.  you have a "wine" command to use
[10:27] <D--> If I try in synaptic, it forces me to remove xubuntu
[10:27] <arrummzen> Flannel, well, I'm logged in via SSH from a RHEL machine... I don't see what desktop color would tell you...
[10:27] <Flannel> D--: yeah, just remove them, it'll remove the 'xubuntu-desktop' metapcakage, no big deal
[10:27] <MADMODMIKE> inside ubuntu not sure for install over windows vista
[10:27] <dimeotane> XarvoX: someone else here says, "the only thing that I know of that can sometimes stop Linux being installed on a Mac is the CD/DVD rom"
[10:27] <Flannel> !metapackage | D--
[10:27] <D--> oh
[10:27] <bulmer> MTec007: your video can not handle high resolution
[10:27] <ubotu> D--: A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions.
[10:27] <adrian_> shatrat: okey, in the terminal then?
[10:27] <MTec007> what can i do?
[10:28] <MTec007> i loaded safe mode
[10:28] <shatrat> adrian_, yes
[10:28] <D--> the thing is
[10:28] <Flannel> arrummzen: What does 'uname -a' give?
[10:28] <D--> once it removes the metapackage

[10:28] <tanubis> anyone know how to get a USB nexxtech VGA webcam working on ubuntu?
[10:28] <colorred> MADMODMIKE: unless dualbooting, vista does not affect installation
[10:28] <D--> won't autoremove list everything else that was part of xubuntu-desktop as save to remove?

[10:28] <Galga> hi

[10:29] <billy> I want to send Automatix2 to a friend of mine who has a slow internet connection and zero experience with linux and computers in general.  Can I put the automatix2 deb file on a disk, and all she'll need to do is click on it and it'll install?
[10:29] <Flannel> arrummzen: Er... did you compile your own kernel?
[10:29] <adrian_> shatrat: you're i don't, so i just type in "wine" in the terminal then?
[10:29] <rust> hey peeps, quick one I hope.  Im on a 12 hour shift and haven't tried kde for quite a while.  Is it safe to just "apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" or will it shaft any of my gnome setup?
[10:29] <Flannel> !automatix | billy
[10:29] <ubotu> billy: automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[10:30] <arrummzen> Flannel, the guy that setup the machine did.
[10:30] <jrib> phpnub: interesting, it's not even opening for me

[10:30] <Lamego> rust, it is not dangerous, but yes you can get some menu mess
[10:30] <phpnub> uh oh
[10:30] <MTec007> bulmer; what can i do?
[10:30] <AngryElf> what is ubuntu's dual-monitor support like?
[10:30] <Galga> lol ubotu
[10:30] <phpnub> jrib, do you know if there was a vfs update this week I haven't used this feature since last weekend
[10:30] <billy> Allow me to rephrase.  Is all that is required to install a .deb file is to click on it and Ubuntu will take care of the rest, with limited user interaction?
[10:31] <bulmer> MTec007: for what? umm pay me money maybe if its okay with you?

[10:31] <AngryElf> plyskin, "shotty at best?"
[10:31] <Flannel> arrummzen: Well, we were trying to figure out what eversion of ubuntu you had.  But, honestly, I don't think you're running Ubuntu.  Or, well, if it is, its... far from stock.  You apparently have no hostname, and the lack of lsb_release frightens me as well.
[10:31] <rust> Lamego, thanks, I can deal with menu mess, as long as long as I can open a terminal and evolution I should be ok
[10:31] <jrib> okaratas: you can try wine
[10:31] <jrib> !wine | okaratas
[10:31] <ubotu> okaratas: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[10:31] <bulmer> okaratas: maybe try vmware
[10:31] <Flannel> arrummzen: but, you need to enable the universe repository, xemacs21 is in universe.
[10:31] <MTec007> bulmer; whats it mean when the cd loads almost into X (and probably into X) and the screen is black?
[10:31] <Flannel> !universe | arrummzen

[10:32] <adrian_> shatrat: okey, should easy, i'll give it a try, thanks a lot

I just don't want her to have an exhausting first experience with an OS other an Windows and kill it for her.  She has LOTS of multimedia stuff.  I thought it'd be a good solution.

[10:41] <Jowi> PaulButler, you need to be more precise than that I afraid.
[10:41] <Flannel> Lamego: no, but it implements a standard, and there are plenty of other h323 clients for other OSs
[10:42] <shatrat> billy, im immature like a fox.  I spent like 5 minutes installing codecs right after I installed and I haven't run into anything I couldnt play since.
[10:42] <PaulButler> Jowi: yeah, i'm looking through the manual... it's an Attansic L1 Gagabit Lan controller
[10:42] <linxeh> PaulButler: yeah, but what chipset is the nic? often they are broadcom - you need to go to the asus website and lookup the motherboard and find out (maybe by looking at the manual, or the windows downloads for the nic drivers)
[10:42] <MTec007> hello, how can i change the resolution before X loads? im using 6.10 live cd

[10:43] <MTec007> bulmer: never got a option for screen res, but i did try safe mode

[10:43] <bulmer> MTec007: umm F3 on the menu during boot?
[10:44] <OuZo> anybody using LVM?

[10:44] <MTec007> bulmer: f4 VGA
[10:44] <billy> shatrat : now there's a good idea.
[10:45] <drkanzie> Lamego, Im running Beryl successfully with the nvidia-drivers from lupine.me.uk, that means that all is well right?
[10:45] <billy> Maul555 : figured it out yet?
[10:45] <Lamego> I guess so
[10:45] <PaulButler> Jowi: thanks for the info.. I guess I'll go with fiesty
[10:45] <bulmer> MTec007: okay, I assume your video can support VGA right? btw which ubuntu cdrom you have ?
[10:45] <phpnub> jrib, well that didn't work
[10:45] <joe4444> changing the DDR settings in my BIOS shouldn't affect the OS, right?
[10:45] <MTec007> bulmer: 6.10 live cd
[10:46] <Lamego> joe4444, unless your system becomes unstable :D
[10:46] <shatrat> adrian_, there is a linux version of DC++  , there is a how-to here, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28378
[10:46] <shatrat> adrian_, it involves compiling but its pretty clearly explained in that thread.
[10:46] <bulmer> drkanzie: am curious, what video card you have and how much RAM memory to get that going?
[10:46] <MTec007> bulmer: for intel processor
[10:46] <joe4444> in other words, if i have installed Ubuntu when the settings were running DDR400 RAM @ DDR333 it wouldn't make a difference if i configure it @ DDR400?
[10:47] <adrian_> shatrat:okey, thanks I'll check it out
[10:47] <bulmer> MTec007: how long did you wait for things to get working? booting from liveCD takes a little more time you know....
[10:47] <nekr0z> joe4444: I beleive it goes seamlessly.
[10:47] <billy> Maul555 : `sudo ./filename.run`
[10:47] <joe4444> ok just making sure... i can't seem to get DDR400 stable =/
[10:47] <shatrat> adrian_, if you really dont want to try that though, I can still talk you through using wine.  I think youve been going at it the wrong way though, wine doesnt have anything to do with your windowspartition.
[10:47] <Lamego> joe4444, The OS does not care about such settings
[10:47] <MTec007> i waited a while, i loaded the cdrom and went out to eat and came back, and get a black screen
[10:47] <Lamego> thats not an OS issue, its an hw issue
[10:48] <bulmer> MTec007: first you need to prefix your responses with a nick to whom your addressing it to
[10:48] <MTec007> bulmer i waited a while, i loaded the cdrom and went out to eat and came back, and get a black screen
[10:48] <bulmer> MTec007: the screensaver is blank maybe?
[10:48] <joe4444> anyone know how to tweak CAS, etc.?  or a good guide on the subject?  my mobo's manual is worthless... it basically just shows screenshots of the different BIOS menus w/o any details
[10:48] <phpnub> jrib, gonna try another account to see if this problem is system wide
[10:48] <adrian_> shatrat:okey how nice of you, i'll try to get the linux version going first though :)
[10:48] <xamox> anyone have a good performance tweaking guide for edgy?
[10:49] <MTec007> no i tryed to recover from a screensaveer. its just a blank display
[10:49] <bulmer> MTec007: you can try one of the consoles...ctrl+alt+F2 and see if you get a prompt
[10:50] <MTec007> i really beleive the display is too high for the monitor/driver
[10:50] <skreet> I just installed xubuntu-desktop and reboot, but xdm isnt starting xfce4-session, it's starting gterm, or something simliar. Any ideas?
[10:50] <MTec007> bulmer i really beleive the display is too high for the monitor/driver
[10:51] <bulmer> MTec007: that maybe it, so select VGA for now
[10:51] <phpnub> jrib, problem is system wide gonna reboot
[10:51] <Maul555> billy: i think i may have just had a completly uneventful driver install...  ill know in a min...
[10:51] <skreet> Better question, where can I find the session scripts for each session?
[10:51] <MTec007> bulmer it's selected
[10:52] <bulmer> MTec007: you can try one of the consoles...ctrl+alt+F2 and see if you get a prompt <-- did you try this yet?
[10:52] <MTec007> loading...
[10:52] <MTec007> i was at boot menu
[10:52] <billy> I thought most drivers were already in the kernel.
[10:52] <skreet> Thanks, all.
[10:52] <Maul555> whoops, nm... hrmm...
[10:53] <Maul555> hardware acceleration doesnt seem to be working...
[10:53] <drkanzie> bulmer, Always forget the name of my card, it is Nvidia 9800GTX or something similar, 256mb onboard and 2gb RAM
[10:53] <sebrock> still no one here to guide me with devilspie..?
[10:53] <drkanzie> bulmer, it was "the shit" about a year ago
[10:53] <fizzmahon> shatrat, worked a charm thanks
[10:53] <alienseer23> !wpc54g
[10:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wpc54g - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:53] <bulmer> drkanzie: oh okay, you have a pretty good system..just curious as to what specs you got going to have beryl working
[10:54] <sbn> Is there a boot parameterfor vesa driver?
[10:54] <MTec007> bulmer i got the normal no X prompt
[10:54] <eshaase> i've noticed that firefox lags my entire system when i visit certain sites, is there a way to prevent this from hapenning?
[10:54] <Pulshion> Does anyone know why when i run video on video-out on my tv the video is cropped?
[10:54] <dimeotane> anyone know a command to list the detected modes of my burner?
[10:54] <drkanzie> bulmer, Beryl works on pretty low-end systems actually, but yeah, I never have any performance-issues in anything 3d-related with my setup
[10:54] <bulmer> MTec007: you can try one of the consoles...ctrl+alt+F2 and see if you get a prompt <-- did you try this yet?
[10:54] <MTec007> bulmer i got the normal no X prompt
[10:55] <bulmer> MTec007: login console is what's called
[10:55] <sbn> Is there a boot parameter for setting that X uses the vesa driver?
[10:55] <garuhhh> hi! is there any available messenger client supporting voice and video for linux?
[10:55] <Pulshion> Does anyone know why when i run video on video-out on my tv the video is cropped?
[10:55] <MTec007> bulmer yes that
[10:56] <shatrat> fizzmahon, glad to hear that.  Stick with open source drivers on that card. ;D
[10:56] <bulmer> MTec007: then i think for some reason you have a bad cd..or it didnt like your video card/monitor combo
[10:56] <MTec007> cd should be good
[10:57] <bulmer> MTec007: should be...but do a test on it ..its on the menu
[10:57] <sbn> Is there a boot parameter for setting that X uses the vesa driver?
[10:57] <Jowi> Pulshion, can be a number of things. the first that comes to my mind is incorrect vertrefresh rate in xorg.conf (or panel size in CMOS/BIOS might also affect it depends on your hardware)
[10:57] <MTec007> can i install from the login console? do i need to be in X to do that?
[10:58] <MTec007> bulmer can i install from the login console? do i need to be in X to do that?
[10:58] <w0pr> hi there
[10:58] <Jowi> MTec007, use the alternate cd for text based install
[10:58] <sbn> MTec007 the alterate cd is made for that
[10:58] <w0pr> :)
[10:58] <Theory5> hello
[10:58] <AngryElf> huh, almost 2 years w/ ubuntu and the font settings actually work and make things better
[10:58] <AngryElf> it would have been nice if i noticed that sooner
[10:58] <AngryElf> :?
[10:58] <bulmer> MTec007: not once you are booting off of a liveCD
[10:59] <superkirbyartist> Hi everyone.  I am trying to turn on my swap partition automatically.  Can someone help please?
[10:59] <nekr0z> ant30: Wasn't that you named _ant_ some time ago on this channel?
[10:59] <MTec007> bulmer okay so how can i tone down the resolution to say 800x600?
[10:59] <LadyNikon> superkirbyartist: in the install guide.. i believe it tells you what to put into fstab
[10:59] <MTec007> (from login console)
[10:59] <superkirbyartist> LadyNikon: Where can I find the install guide?
[10:59] <ant30> nekr0z, I'm ant30 or ant30_ if the nick aren't recognized
[10:59] <LadyNikon> oh wait
[11:00] <LadyNikon> superkirbyartist: sorry wrong channel
[11:00] <LadyNikon> i thought this was gentoo >.<
[11:00] <Theory5> hey i just installed Ubuntu server edition but when i started it up GRUB loaded, how do i get to use the desktop?
[11:00] <joshjosh> Theory5: there is no GUI
[11:00] <nekr0z> ant30: I see, sorry. I just wanted to thank that guy, he helped me a lot :)))
[11:00] <w0pr> i explane my problem.. i hope someone can help me :) I upgrade dapper to edgy, and eht0 doesn't come up. /etc/network/interfaces isa here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9701/ i donno how to fix it! Someone can help me pls?
[11:00] <Jowi> Theory5, you install an xserver
[11:00] <Xenguy> Theory5: servers typically don't install desktop/GUI
[11:00] <acrophoric> hi guys
[11:00] <LadyNikon> Theory5: you dont get a GUI with server
[11:01] <bulmer> MTec007: you may want to try the "alternative cd" install as oppose to liveCD ..
[11:01] <Jowi> Theory5, "ubuntu-desktop" contain everything you need including gnome.
[11:01] <rdw200169> Theory5: what are you trying to do?
[11:01] <superkirbyartist> LadyNikon I need help.
[11:01] <superkirbyartist> It always forces me to go to gparted and do a swapon.
[11:01] <Jowi> Theory5, or you can install xserver + any other wm
[11:01] <sbn> How can I let the liveCD use the vesa driver?
[11:01] <LadyNikon> superkirbyartist: what are you trying to do?
[11:01] <LadyNikon> i never had a problem with swap before.
[11:02] <PriceChild> HEy superkirbyartist , we need to edit your /etc/fstab file
[11:02] <acrophoric> hey guys i have absolutely 0 experience with linux, and i thought i'd give it a shot tonight. I wanted to install the nvidia drivers but things went terribly bad. can anyone give me a hand?
[11:02] <_Krull_> ok...in a week or two I will get partition magic in the mail to restore my windoz partition to its original size, Right now I want to remove the program that starts before windows and gives me the selection, can someone please guide me thru this (other computer)
[11:02] <PriceChild> acrophoric, explain what went bad, how you tried to install.
[11:02] <Theory5> how do i get to ubuntu-desktop?
[11:02] <superkirbyartist> LadyNikon: I want the swap to be turned on when my computer starts, rather than having to go to system > admin > gparted
[11:02] <Jowi> Theory5, here's a few examples for you https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LowMemorySystems
[11:02] <n-iCe> How can I install Shockwave ? for play games
[11:02] <adrian_> shatrat: i got into trouble with this installation too
[11:02] <Xenguy> !nvidia > acrophoric
[11:02] <Jowi> Theory5, "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" but check the previous link i gave you first to see if that might suite you better
[11:03] <acrophoric> i used the Envy program to install the drivers and after i rebooted, it gave me an API mismatch error
[11:03] <superkirbyartist> LadyNikon and PriceChild: What to put it /etc/fstab?
[11:03] <acrophoric> and i had no clue how to proceed
[11:03] <PriceChild> superkirbyartist, could you pastebin your current /etc/fstab and tell me if you know which harddrive & partition the swap is on.
[11:03] <n-iCe> !es
[11:03] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[11:03] <sbn> How can I let the liveCD use the vesa driver?
[11:03] <superkirbyartist> PriceChild I'll just paste it in #ubuntu-bots
[11:03] <PriceChild> sbn, choose "safe graphics mode"
[11:03] <PriceChild> superkirbyartist, no
[11:03] <n-iCe> How can I install Shockwave ? for play games
[11:03] <PriceChild> superkirbyartist, please pastebin it
[11:04] <shatrat> adrian_, haha, well bookmark i tand try again when youre brave.  in the meantime download the DC++ windows installer to your desktop or something and then do "wine /home/username/Desektop/dcplusplusinstaller.exe" or whatever the file name is.
[11:04] <sbn> PriceChild I said already it doesn't work!
[11:04] <superkirbyartist> !pastebin
[11:04] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[11:04] <PriceChild> n-iCe, there is no version of shockwave for linux.
[11:04] <funkyHat> Anyone else having serious problems with gnome-session?
[11:04] <PriceChild> sbn, well then vesa doesn't work afaik
[11:04] <shatrat> adrian_, hopefully someone will create a package for dc++ in the future
[11:04] <n-iCe> PriceChild,  then what i can do
[11:04] <_Krull_> !uninstall
[11:04] <LadyNikon> " my irl life is calling.." isnt that redundant?
[11:04] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about uninstall - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:04] <PriceChild> sbn, you could try booting up... ctrl+alt+f1 edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and change the device driver to vesa then restarting X.... but I'm pretty sure that safe mode uses it anyway
[11:05] <joshjosh> n-iCe, You can download the windows 32 version of firefox, then run it through wine and install shockwave that way
[11:05] <sbn> Well, I'm using the livecd
[11:05] <Theory5> i dont get what i need to do to get Ubuntu into the desktop
[11:05] <n-iCe> joshjosh,  i'm in swiftfox
[11:05] <sbn> I'm trying to install the ubuntu
[11:05] <sbn> but alternative isn't working probaly
[11:05] <adrian_> shatrat: about almost all the way down it says: Next is to install the actual dcpp program so switch to the linuxdcpp directory that you downloaded) followed by the code : cd ~/linuxdcpp
[11:05] <phpnub> jrib, no such luck it's really broken. I figured out why it was opening in firefox but nautilus is still broken
[11:05] <superkirbyartist> PriceChild http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9708/
[11:05] <PriceChild> acrophoric, Support in channel please.
[11:05] <adrian_> shtrat: what do you mean?
[11:05] <shatrat> adrian_, hold on while I look at it
[11:06] <acrophoric> ok
[11:06] <acrophoric> so can someone give me a hand in solving the API mismatch error i got after using Envy to install the drivers?
[11:06] <Flannel> sbn: What isn'tworking?
[11:06] <lisapc> i tried to install Ubuntu, but it just stops right after chosing INSTALL, any ideas?
[11:06] <Jowi> Theory5, either 1. download the desktop (a live cd) or the alternative (text basexd installer cd) cd image. or: 2. boot your system, login and type "sudo apt-get update" and "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[11:06] <Flannel> lisapc: did you verify the cD?
[11:06] <sbn> Flannel the X
[11:06] <g3nocide> how can i specify specific refresh rates for certain resolutions ? now when i set 1600x1200, the refresh (as stated by gnome) is 65Hz. I put a Modeline in config specifying 60Hz, but no go.
[11:06] <Flannel> sbn: Alternate CD doesn't have X
[11:06] <g3nocide> my monitor image goes all wobbly every once in a while, and i think it's because of the refresh rates
[11:06] <sbn> Well Alternate has other problem
[11:07] <lisapc> Flannel verify how?
[11:07] <Flannel> sbn: Eh?  What problems you having with alternate?
[11:07] <sbn> It won't install probaly
[11:07] <MTec007> bulmer i am affected by this "Intel Graphics driver (i810) won't use high screen resolutions" on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[11:07] <Flannel> lisapc: the "check CD" option (third down, or whatnot)
[11:07] <adrian_> shatrat: i can't find the linuxdcpp it seems
[11:07] <lisapc> Flannel what good is that if it doesnt load anyway
[11:07] <PriceChild> superkirbyartist, do you know what your swap is on? e.g. /dev/hdb2 ?
[11:07] <sbn> http://img95.imageshack.us/my.php?image=imgp0960fw0.jpg
[11:07] <bulmer> MTec007: there you go, try another video card perhaps?
[11:07] <MTec007> i have an i810. no other cards
[11:07] <lisapc> Flannel where can I get the latest Kbuntu iso?
[11:08] <PriceChild> superkirbyartist, because you need to add a line to /etc/fstab similar to my addition at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9710/ but replacing /dev/foo with the path to yours :)
[11:08] <Theory5> how do i get into desktop with Ubuntu server?>
[11:08] <Flannel> sbn: Which step failed though?
[11:08] <superkirbyartist> PriceChild it is /dev/hda5
[11:08] <Flannel> Theory5: the server doesn't have a desktop, so you'll need to install one
[11:08] <TheStef> got Feisty Ubuntu 7.04 alpha running
[11:08] <PriceChild> Theory5, Ubuntu server doesn't include a desktop. sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop to get one
[11:08] <TheStef> it rocks
[11:08] <Theory5> i did that
[11:08] <Symmetria> heh
[11:08] <Theory5> i did the apt-get
[11:08] <Flannel> sbn: did you verify the CD?
[11:08] <PriceChild> superkirbyartist, then do you see where you need to write "/dev/hda5" in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9710/ ?
[11:08] <Symmetria> I just added ubuntu cdimage set to the .za mirror
[11:08] <depinko> how is it possible to empty swap?
[11:08] <Symmetria> wheeeeeeeeeeee
[11:08] <lisapc> where can I get the latest Kbuntu iso?
[11:08] <PriceChild> depinko, "empty"?
[11:08] <Robert1> bulmer: looked on the web couldn't find what I am after. Did find a very long sources.lst file but was to chicken to blindly add it all. Which repository has the LAMP stack?
[11:09] <depinko> PriceChild: to "delete" it
[11:09] <Flannel> Theory5: then reboot and you'll get GDM, Um, I'm sure you can get to it otherwise, but... I'm not entirely sure how
[11:09] <Symmetria> lisapc cdimage.ubuntu.com probably
[11:09] <kitsuneofdoom> I'm trying to open an xterm in an Xnest, and I get:

[11:09] <shatrat> adrian_, is it on your desktop maybe?  try "find linuxdcpp"
[11:09] <PriceChild> depinko, you could remove it from /etc/fstab then remove the partition using gparted
[11:09] <_Krull_> lisapc ftp.yellowdoglinux.com/pub/ubuntu
[11:09] <Theory5> im rebooting now
[11:09] <sbn> flannel: http://img95.imageshack.us/img95/4241/imgp0961vn9.jpg
[11:09] <bigjohnto> anyone know how to recover deleted files in linux please?
[11:09] <Flannel> Robert1: Seveas's has a LAMP metapackage, but without the metapackage, it's still only a half dozen packages.
[11:09] <Flannel> !lamp | Robert1
[11:09] <ubotu> Robert1: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[11:09] <Jowi> bigjohnto, you don't. you restore them from backup
[11:09] <[StingRay] > !rescue
[11:09] <ubotu> To rescue a broken system, boot the alternate install CD and select "Rescue a broken system"
[11:10] <Flannel> sbn: did you verify the CD?
[11:10] <adrian_> shatrat: i think missing downloading since the link didn't work so :)
[11:10] <bulmer> bigjohnto: unless its in the trash still
[11:10] <TheStef> bigjohnto: there are some tools you can download
[11:10] <PriceChild> superkirbyartist, how goes?
[11:10] <joshjosh> for some reason i can't click and drag windows in beryl...it just ceased to work
[11:10] <PriceChild> joshjosh, > #ubuntu-effects
[11:10] <sbn> Flannel yeah
[11:10] <sbn> but with md5sum I got 1 error
[11:10] <_Krull_> People, what is the program installed on my PC that boots to choose which OS I wish to boot?
[11:10] <Flannel> sbn: Er, if the md5sum of your ISO has an error, then you can't burn a good CD
[11:10] <adrian_> shatrat got a link for linuxdcpp where i can download it?
[11:10] <[StingRay] > Can somebody help me with the rescue of my system?
[11:10] <lisapc> what would cause Ubuntu to stop installing right after first menu?  it just stops
[11:11] <Jowi> joshjosh, right click on the beryl icon and restart the window decorator might help
[11:11] <Flannel> _Krull_: Grub
[11:11] <bulmer> _Krull_: boot loader
[11:11] <sbn> flannel burned cd gave it
[11:11] <Theory5> it went back into text mode, not desktop!
[11:11] <Flannel> lisapc: a bad burn
[11:11] <shatrat> adrian_, do you see the step that starts with "sudo cvs -d....."  that is the step that logs into their CVS server and then downloads the source.  Did that not work?
[11:11] <Theory5> please help
[11:11] <superkirbyartist> PriceChild, I don't know what to type.
[11:11] <Flannel> Theory5: do sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start
[11:11] <_Krull_> bulmer, is it on the linux partition?
[11:12] <Flannel> sbn: does the iso you downloaded have a good md5?
[11:12] <PriceChild> superkirbyartist, "sudo gedit /etc/fstab" to open the file. Then make it look like http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9712/ then save. then "sudo mount -a"
[11:12] <lisapc> Flannel how do I do a good burn? :P
[11:12] <sbn> Flannel yes
[11:12] <lisapc> Flannel can I check the ubuntu ISO before burning?
[11:12] <Flannel> lisapc, sbn: Verify your ISO (check the md5), then burn again at 4x
[11:12] <Flannel> !md5 | lisapc
[11:12] <ubotu> lisapc: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/VerifyIsoHowto or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows
[11:12] <shatrat> adrian_, I just followed those two steps and managed to download the cvs source code, so I know it works.
[11:13] <bulmer> _Krull_: grub ? its there
[11:13] <acrophoric> Can anyone give me a hand with an API mismatch error after using Envy to install nvidia drivers?
[11:13] <Flannel> _Krull_: It's split up (grub is two stages), one is in your MBR of your HD, the other is on a partition,
[11:13] <hopeless> hi! i've currently got working fedora and windows partitions on my computer, but i'm looking to try ubuntu. have any of you guys ever switched linux distros? is there a good way to do it in a safe and reversible way?
[11:13] <adrian_> shatrat:that did work, but I can't find it :(
[11:13] <superkirbyartist> PriceChild, thanks, I will try it out.
[11:13] <Flannel> hopeless: You want to install ubuntuovertop of fedora?
[11:13] <hopeless> no
[11:13] <Flannel> hopeless: you want to triple boot?
[11:14] <hopeless> ideally, i'd like to shrink my windows partition down as small as possible
[11:14] <Theory5>  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start didnt work, says command not found for /etc/init.d/gdm start
[11:14] <hopeless> and then install ubunto
[11:14] <rotemj> anyone, system recovery after installing a graphic driver that fuckedup the whole system?
[11:14] <hopeless> but if ubuntu doesn't work out, fedora will still be there
[11:14] <adrian_> shatrat where is linuxdcpp located then, should be the same for everybody right?
[11:14] <shatrat> adrian_, well, it should have created a directory named "linuxdcpp" in whatever directory you were in at the time, probably /home/adrian
[11:14] <hopeless> so yeah, triple booting would be ideal
[11:14] <bulmer> hopeless: yes it will retain the old os as long as you dont use their partitions
[11:15] <adrian_> shatrat: i searched for it in the filesystem bu no luck :(
[11:15] <Theory5>  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start didnt work
[11:15] <Flannel> hopeless: right.  Ok, you'll want the alternate CD (not the desktop CD), then you shrink windows, install ubuntu onto that partition, and then when it asks about installing grub, you don't want to install a bootloader.  Then you'll have to manually add ubuntu to your fedora grub menu (or you can install Ubuntu's grub, and then manually add fedoras entries to the grub menu)
[11:15] <Jowi> Theory5, what error did you get?
[11:15] <Dimitri> hey all
[11:15] <_Krull_> thanks bulmer....Flannel, ......Flannel, or bulmer, I got a live CD that mounts and deals with dos mounted partitions.....what files do I remove on MBR to remove GRUB and bootloader?
[11:16] <Flannel> hopeless: the only issues you'll have is with bootloading (although not a very big issue)
[11:16] <hopeless> i'm sorry... what i'm really asking is, i know a lot of people switch from one linux distro to another. i'm wondering how they went about doing it.
[11:16] <Theory5>  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start didnt work for trying to get the desktop up.
[11:16] <duneatreides> Hello all
[11:16] <k4zzy> Hello. I'm having trouble booting into my fresh install of ubuntu-server. The install seemed to have gone fine, but when it boots up I get the following error: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9713/  Then, nothing further happens. The only thing that seems to happen after this is a cycling of my 6 SCSI drives (RAID 1).
[11:16] <Flannel> _Krull_: Just install whatever other bootloader you want overtop
[11:16] <shatrat> adrian_, try running those two cvs commands again from the how-to and then "ls linuxdcpp"  to list the file
[11:16] <hopeless> why will boot loading be an issue? grub will recognize my existing windows and fedora systems, right?
[11:16] <acrophoric> Anyone please! i am completely clueless, someone steer me in the right direction. "API mismatch error, the NVIDIA kernel module has the version...." i have no idea what to do after using Envy to install nvidia drivers
[11:17] <arrummzen> I enabled the universe repository, but I still can't install emacs or xemacs?
[11:17] <Jowi> Theory5, try "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" to set up the drivers/monitor/keyboard/mouse. then try again.
[11:17] <raven3x7> im on 64bit Edgy and am trying to install wine. im trying to compile it against 32bit libs which are installed but configure doesnt find them even though i specify it to look in /lib32 . anyone can help?
[11:17] <_Krull_> Flannel, I want windows only on this pc, someone is giving me their old pc, so I will install ubuntu on it
[11:17] <Flannel> Theory5: If you don't have that file, It sounds like ubuntu-desktop didn't install properly
[11:17] <voidmage> hopeless: If you have /home on a separate partition and your important config files backed up, you can just install the new distro over your old /, keeping /home as it is
[11:17] <MTec007> bulmer thanks for you help, but i dont want s distro if its this difficult to install and work correctly.
[11:17] <duneatreides> Hello everyone, I have a question about tar
[11:17] <erstazi> Is there a way to have any popup alerts when a crash occurs instead of the top panel?
[11:17] <Flannel> _Krull_: You'll need to get a windows CD, and then run 'fixmbr'
[11:17] <Theory5> so how do i install it properly?
[11:17] <voidmage> Flannel: isn't it fdisk /mbr ?
[11:18] <duneatreides> does the options on tar -xzvf matter?
[11:18] <Maul555> billy:  holy shit, i know what was up with the nvidia problem!!!!  the fan on the vid card doesnt work, it was overheating when i ran opengl apps... lol!!!
[11:18] <goodtimes> So i pull out my keyboard and i pull out my glock, and i dismount your girl and i mount slash proc (/proc)
[11:18] <PriceChild> !ohmy | Maul555
[11:18] <ubotu> Maul555: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[11:18] <Jowi> Theory5, did you recieve any error when you installed ubuntu-desktop?
[11:18] <Theory5> nope
[11:18] <duneatreides> does the order on the -xzvf on the tar command matter
[11:18] <Flannel> Theory5: Wait, you're installing a fresh copy of windows?
[11:18] <voidmage> duneatreides: nope
[11:18] <_Krull_> ok, thanks for all the help Flannel!
[11:18] <Jowi> Maul555, ouch
[11:18] <Flannel> Theory5: sorry, that was for _Krull_
[11:18] <bulmer> MTec007: honestly, i find it difficult too when i first installed it, my choice is SuSE as primary..but i want to be able to use deb style too..so i learned this
[11:18] <Flannel> eh, now I'm confusing myself.
[11:19] <adrian_> shatrat: the code:sudo  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxdcpp.berlios.de:/cvsroot/linuxdcpp co linuxdcpp is the second code,right?
[11:19] <billy> Maul555: the other day I couldn't figure out why my floppy drive wouldn't mount.  Turns out the thing wasn't plugged into a power source. :)
[11:19] <duneatreides> i'm am looking at the tar --help, and I can not figure out how to use the -C option
[11:19] <voidmage> duneatreides: look in 'man tar'
[11:19] <Theory5> after i did sudo aptitude install Ubuntu-desktop a gui thing came up and asked me about how i wanted to recive mail so i did that and then it went back to text
[11:19] <shatrat> adrian_, I dont believe you need a sudo for the second one
[11:19] <duneatreides> is it tar -C=DIR, or tar -C DIR?
[11:20] <lisapc> is line speed is 10.5 Mbps (10502 kbps) any good?
[11:20] <bulmer> lisapc: thats fast enuff for me
[11:20] <shatrat> lisapc, cable speed
[11:20] <raven3x7> im on 64bit Edgy and am trying to install wine. im trying to compile it against 32bit libs which are installed but configure doesnt find them even though i specify it to look in /lib32 . anyone can help?
[11:20] <adrian_> shatrat: should i just tyoe in cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxdcpp.berlios.de:/cvsroot/linuxdcpp co linuxdcpp then?
[11:20] <crdlb> duneatreides, doesn't matter afaik
[11:20] <Theory5> so what should i do now?
[11:20] <Flannel> !chroot | raven3x7
[11:20] <ubotu> raven3x7: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[11:21] <Jowi> duneatreides, probably tar -C DIR or tar --directory=DIR
[11:21] <shatrat> adrian_, that looks good.  just paste everything after the $ in the how-to
[11:21] <rwxr-xr--> lisapc:  its really gr8 and Fastest .. l0ol i have just 500+ kbs
[11:21] <lisapc> shatrat you serious?  thats cable speed?  because I only got a new broadband
[11:21] <Flannel> Theory5: You're sure you don't have /etc/init.d/gdm?
[11:21] <crdlb> duneatreides, I usually do tar -C
[11:21] <Megaqwerty> can I tar a file to a DVD? If so...how?
[11:21] <k4zzy> How can I add "acpi=off" to the boot options on a server-install that hangs at startup on a PCI allocate error? Thanks.
[11:21] <joe4444> anyone know how to match BIOS settings with RAM's CL?
[11:21] <shatrat> lisapc, cable = broadband?
[11:21] <lisapc> rwxr-xr-- thats interesting seeing I only have broadband
[11:21] <Jowi> Theory5, what error did you get exactly when trying to start gdm?
[11:21] <bulmer> lisapc: why the concern of such speeds? you download a lot or upload a lot?
[11:21] <Andune> I need help with a hardware RAID.
[11:21] <Theory5> it said it was not found
[11:21] <Theory5> the command
[11:21] <Theory5> was not found
[11:21] <Andune> I got advice from here a few nights ago to try the alternate CD, but it still doesn't detect it
[11:22] <adrian_> shatrat: then the cvs wasn't found?
[11:22] <Flannel> k4zzy: The boot screen is a little GUI menu on the server CD, right?  You push one of the F keys to get to advanced/expert/whatever where you can give options
[11:22] <hopeless> voidimage: aaahhhhh, thanks!!! i do have /home on a separate partition. however, i've heard that there can be problems sharing the same /home partition between two different distros because of the program configuration files kept hidden in /home. i don't want to destroy my fedora / partition because of some stuff, like a custom-compiled version of audacity, that i don't want to lose in case ubuntu doesn't work out. is there a way to cre
[11:22] <Andune> I have a hardware mirror (RAID-0) of two disks.  Windows lives on the first half, and sees and uses the mirror just fine.
[11:22] <Jowi> Theory5, so ubuntu-desktop was not installed properly. try this again: "sudo apt-get update" and then "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[11:22] <k4zzy> Flannel: Thanks :)
[11:22] <Andune> but when I load Ubuntu (desktop or alternate), it only sees the raw disks and does not see the hardware RAID mirror.
[11:22] <Theory5> k
[11:22] <Jowi> Theory5, do not do anything while it is installing
[11:22] <lisapc> shatrat but it also says: yline speed is 10.5 Mbps (10502 kbps) and your download speed is 1.28 MB/s (1313 KB/s).
[11:22] <arrummzen> hmmmm.... It looks like the Ubuntu system is version "Dapper", but I need a package that is only in feisty. Is there a way to install feisty packages in dapper?
[11:23] <eck> Andune: you need to have the kernel module for your raid card and set up mdadm
[11:23] <lagarto> !beryl
[11:23] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[11:23] <shatrat> adrian_, hmm, maybe you need to install CVS.  "sudo apt-get install cvs"
[11:23] <PriceChild> !revu | arrummzen
[11:23] <ubotu> arrummzen: REVU is a web-based tool to give people who have worked on Ubuntu packages a chance to "put their packages out there" for other people to look at and comment on in a structured manner. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Packages/REVU
[11:23] <joe4444> hopeless, you just want to try ubuntu?
[11:23] <sebrock> my commands in .devilspie does not work. Nothing happens
[11:23] <PriceChild> arrummzen, argh not that...
[11:23] <Andune> I've run Fedora for years, and am familiar with the software RAID configuration, but would much rather use the hardware RAID on my mobo.

[11:23] <Megaqwerty> I want to tar my filesystem to a DVD, assuming there is enough space on the DVD, how would I go about doing this?
[11:23] <lisapc> does that mean my line speed can do 10.5 Mbps (10502 kbps), but al im getting is download speed is 1.28 MB/s (1313 KB/s)?
[11:23] <jrib> sebrock: did you restart devilspie after adding the rules?
[11:23] <Andune> eck:  hmm.  ok I'll do some research on that.  thanks.
[11:23] <shatrat> lisapc, that seems pretty good to me.  download speed is limited by things other than your line speed.
[11:23] <acrophoric> Anyone please! i am completely clueless, someone steer me in the right direction. "API mismatch error, the NVIDIA kernel module has the version...." i have no idea what to do after using Envy to install nvidia drivers
[11:23] <sebrock> jrib, yeah I rebooted
[11:23] <bulmer> Megaqwerty: you cant write to DVD with a tar...you have to burn to it
[11:24] <jrib> sebrock: pastebin what you have
[11:24] <sebrock> jrib, I do get debug info
[11:24] <sebrock> ok
[11:24] <Megaqwerty> bulmer: darn, alright.
[11:24] <adrian_> shatrat: did no change though
[11:24] <hopeless> joe4444: yeah, but i want to make sure that it can run the software i use, and i don't think i can do it from a live disk, if that's what you're hinting at
[11:24] <lisapc> shatrat i tried to install Ubuntu and it stops after install menu!  what can i do?
[11:24] <Andune> eck: any chance it's on the disk and I just need to tell it to load, or if it's not auto-detected, it's not there?
[11:24] <adrian_> ah with sudo before it it seemed to work got to the password and all
[11:24] <shatrat> lisapc, stops? what install menu? whats the last thing it says?
[11:25] <bulmer> hopeless: i advised you earlier, have a separate partition for each os you have on
[11:25] <Hisashi> can anyone help me with nvidia drivers?
[11:25] <lisapc> shatrat the very first menu
[11:25] <adrian_> shatrat: ah with sudo before it it seemed to work got to the password and all
[11:25] <joe4444> hopeless, no i was going to suggest VMware... i used it on XP to try out ubuntu and other distros until i was comfortable enough to format and drop XP for good =)
[11:25] <shatrat> lisapc, using the desktop disk, or the alternative disk?
[11:25] <Andune> !mdadm
[11:25] <ubotu> mdadm: tool to administer Linux MD device arrays (software RAID). In component main, is optional. Version 2.4.1-6ubuntu5.2 (edgy), package size 149 kB, installed size 456 kB
[11:25] <eck> Andune: i think that's likely; i think it's really a matter of getting the kernel to see the raid card
[11:25] <Hisashi> lol... then i'll explain.. i've installed the non-legacy nvidia driver... but i need legacy driver... but in my distro legacy driver by apt-get is disable... can i install the one i've download from nvidia website?
[11:25] <rotemj> hisashi, are you having the same problem as us?
[11:25] <sebrock> jrib, here you go mate: http://www.pastebin.ca/389727
[11:25] <jrib> sebrock: one sec (phone)
[11:25] <shatrat> adrian_, which command seems to work? installing cvs? or using cvs to log into the source code repo?
[11:26] <lisapc> shatrat the desktop CD
[11:26] <voidmage> hopeless: I just keep my XP drives around for the rare rare time I have to boot into xp (flashing my bios or other weird windows-only programs i don't trust wine with my life) or if i need some file from there i haven't copied yet
[11:26] <lisapc> shatrat ANY solutions?
[11:26] <PriceChild> Hisashi, why can't you sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy? What you want is possible though
[11:26] <Andune> eck:  ok.  I wouldn't think I'd need mdadm, since Linux should be largely unaware of the RAID.  It's in the hardware.  I'll go research, thanks for the tip..
[11:26] <raven3x7> Flannel, thanks
[11:26] <adrian_> shatrat: by typing in "sudo cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxdcpp.berlios.de:/cvsroot/linuxdcpp co linuxdcpp" i got to the password and beyond it
[11:26] <shatrat> lisapc, the first menu is the one that lets you pick language right?  Does clicking Next or whatever do nothing?
[11:26] <Hisashi> i know but it answers me that it's not disponible
[11:26] <adrian_> shatrat: is that correct?
[11:26] <lisapc> shatrat shall I try kbuntu instead?
[11:27] <hopeless> bulmer: but i don't have space to create a second /home partition, and i'm worried that ubuntu will alter the configurations kept in my home folder. is this a real problem?
[11:27] <shatrat> adrian_, greart, now do the next part and it should download a ton of stuff
[11:27] <lisapc> shatrat LOL
[11:27] <fo1> hi, when i minimize programs they simply disappear and don't go to my system tray.  any ideas?
[11:27] <Hisashi> oh
[11:27] <Hisashi> it worked now
[11:27] <eck> Andune: yeah, i think you're right -- the key thing is that most "hardware RAID" controllers don't entirely implement raid in hardware, they actually require some firmware or driver to be loaded by the kernel to interact with the raid controller
[11:27] <adrian_> shatrat: what do you mean?
[11:27] <lisapc> where can I get latest stable Kbuntu?
[11:27] <shatrat> lisapc, well, if the liveCD is hanging then you would be better off trying the alternative installer.  You can download it from the same place.  It isnt as pretty but it is more reliable.  Some hardware just doesnt like the liveCD
[11:27] <bulmer> hopeless: another way is to use vmware. or buy another hd to install things to
[11:27] <Hisashi> i've done that by 2 days ago and it failed tks
[11:27] <Theory5> now its saying ubuntu-desktop is an ivaild operation
[11:28] <hopeless> hmm okay. thanks all!
[11:28] <fo1> (they're still running, because if i minimize, say, firefox, and then click on the icon again, it'll come back up on the same page)
[11:28] <shatrat> adrian_, the next step that says "cvs -z3 -d: ...."
[11:28] <Jowi> hopeless, simply create a different user at install time. they should not collide.
[11:28] <Andune> eck:  ahhh.  I see.  OK well I'll go figure out what I've got and how to tell Ubuntu to see it.
[11:28] <Theory5> what do i do now its saying ubuntu-desktop is an invaild operation plz help
[11:28] <jrib> sebrock: you have some syntax errors, to have multiple actions, you need to use (begin)
[11:28] <rwxr-xr--> i just install Opera browser .. but its the iCon is not come in menu?
[11:28] <lisapc> shatrat LOL! i never said LIve CD
[11:29] <adrian_> shatrat: that the code i got through just now
[11:29] <shatrat> lisapc, you said its the "desktop" installer and not "alternative" installer, am I right?
[11:29] <lisapc> shatrat it was the 6.10 dekstop iso
[11:29] <Flannel> Theory5: What command is an invalid operation?
[11:29] <jrib> sebrock: it doesn't really make sense to set two workspaces though, is that what youw ant?
[11:29] <sebrock> jrib, no that was just for testing
[11:29] <Jowi> Theory5, download the desktop or alternate cd. that might suit you better and save you from headache if you're new to the system.
[11:29] <Galga> what is the command in text mode to start ubuntu installation
[11:29] <adrian_> shatrat: the one without sudo in it
[11:29] <shatrat> lisapc, yes, that isa  liveCD, it loads the whole OS into memory and it looks pretty but sometimes it falls on it's face.
[11:29] <rwxr-xr--> when i type on terminal opera the opera window comes
[11:29] <lisapc> shatrat is the 6.10 dekstop iso the livcecd?
[11:29] <sebrock> jrib, all I want really is to center all windows on opening
[11:29] <Theory5> How do i download the desktop????
[11:29] <shatrat> adrian_, ok, so now "ls linuxdcpp" should say something, right?
[11:30] <jrib> sebrock: get rid of the firefox stuff in config.ds, make a new firefox.ds and place a single rule there
[11:30] <Flannel> lisapc: "Desktop" CDs are liveCDs (with installers), Alternate CDs are just installers
[11:30] <Jowi> Theory5, generally the server cd is more advanced
[11:30] <lisapc> shatrat so what shall I do?  my objective is to install Ubuntu on HDD
[11:30] <Flannel> Theory5: What command did you give?
[11:30] <Jowi> Theory5, from http://www.ubuntu.com
[11:30] <sebrock> jrib, how would I do If I want all windows to start centered
[11:30] <Theory5> sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[11:30] <adrian_> shatrat: do I just type: ls linuxdcpp?
[11:30] <lisapc> Flannel so I can get the Alternate CD and it will install Ubuntu on my HDD?
[11:30] <Flannel> Theory5: and what error did you get exactly?
[11:30] <joe4444> hopeless, see my comment about VMware?
[11:30] <Flannel> lisapc: yeah
[11:30] <shatrat> lisapc, well, you could try the normal liveCD installer one more time, with graphics safe settings at the boot prompt.  if it still hangs up I would download and use the Alternative installer.
[11:30] <fo1> oh, i need to add windows to my panel
[11:30] <fo1> fixed
[11:31] <Flannel> lisapc: and, the alternate CD has a bunch of other stuff on the CD, you can use it as a repository
[11:31] <shatrat> adrian_, yes, just to check that it is there. or just "ls" and look for it
[11:31] <lisapc> Flannel but if the livecd wont even load, doesnt that mean my notebook is not supported?
[11:31] <jrib> sebrock: (if (is (application_name) "Firefox") (center))
[11:31] <Flannel> lisapc: nope
[11:31] <jrib> I think
[11:31] <Hydr0p0nX> anyone have a howto on getting compiz to work in 6.10 ?
[11:31] <Flannel> lisapc: liveCD, because of space, has to make some sacrifices in terms of hardare compat
[11:31] <jrib> !compiz | Hydr0p0nX
[11:31] <ubotu> Hydr0p0nX: Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[11:31] <lisapc> Flannel so in your advice I should get the ubuntu Alternative  iso?
[11:31] <Flannel> Hydr0p0nX: #ubuntu-effects will hook you up
[11:31] <sebrock> jrib, I have tried it... doesnt work
[11:31] <Flannel> lisapc: that's all I download anymore
[11:31] <rwxr-xr--> i just install the opera browser .. but the icon is not in menu anywhere.. but when i type opera on terminal the browser window open .. how can i fix
[11:31] <rwxr-xr--> ?
[11:31] <Theory5> E: Invailid operation ubuntu-desktop thats what it says
[11:31] <jrib> sebrock: you created a seperated .ds file?
[11:31] <Hydr0p0nX> thanks
[11:32] <lisapc> Flannel ok :) where can I download the 6.10 alternative Ubuntu Iso?
[11:32] <voidmage> Theory5: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[11:32] <sebrock> Im gonna do a new one
[11:32] <sebrock> from start
[11:32] <Flannel> Theory5: Then that's not the command you're giving it.  You missed the 'install'
[11:32] <shatrat> rwxr-xr--, you can create a menu entry for it by right clicking the Applications menu, although it automatically made one for me in the Internet section...
[11:32] <sebrock> jrib, do I need any other command than the if?
[11:32] <Dimitri> Where can I find a place to download castle wolfenstien: enemy territory?
[11:32] <adrian_> shatrat: it just check my username dir, it's not there
[11:32] <Dimitri> It's not in repos
[11:32] <Flannel> lisapc: same place you download the desktop.  You'll need to click "More Install Options" though
[11:32] <jrib> sebrock: what I said should be enough, this is really good btw: http://live.gnome.org/DevilsPie
[11:33] <Flannel> Dimitri: check the forums (ubuntuforums.org), there are a few HowTos
[11:33] <sebrock> jrib, on the forums this is said to open all windows centered: (if (not (is (window_class) "Gnome-panel")) (center))
[11:33] <rwxr-xr--> shatrat:  i checked in Applications Menu.. but the icon is not there
[11:33] <sebrock> but nothing happens for me
[11:33] <voidmage> lisapc: http://ftp.ale.org/mirrors/ubuntu-releases/edgy/ubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso
[11:33] <Theory5> so i  did
[11:33] <shatrat> adrian_, when you ran the second command did it list a whole bunch of files? There should have been a long output.
[11:33] <Theory5> thanks'
[11:33] <lisapc> Flannel is this the one: "Kubuntu 6.10 - alternaitve-i386.iso" ?
[11:33] <shatrat> rwxr-xr--, well, like I said you can make one, it's not that hard but you might have to find an opera icon
[11:33] <Flannel> lisapc: that'll give you Kubuntu, so if that's what you want, yeah.
[11:33] <TheGateKeeper> rwxr-xr--, it's possible that you might have to logout then login before the menu entry appears
[11:33] <jman_> hi all I am trying to get my wireless card to work., i installed with ndiswrapper but nothing it's not coming up in the network configuration properties dialog any ideas?
[11:33] <lisapc> Flannel is kbuntu better than ubuntu?
[11:33] <adrian_> shatrat: no it didn't just password, I hit enter then nothing
[11:33] <jrib> sebrock: but did you create a seperate .ds for the rule?  I'm not sure if having multiple rules like you had in a single config.ds will work
[11:34] <Hisashi> hey when i install nvidia driver.. should xorg.conf change in someway?
[11:34] <rwxr-xr--> TheGateKeeper:  Should be.. :) so i try that ..
[11:34] <Hisashi> cause i've just done that and it remais the same
[11:34] <jrib> Hisashi: after running nvidia-xconfig, yes
[11:34] <shatrat> adrian_, now do "cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxdcpp.berlios.de:/cvsroot/linuxdcpp co linuxdcpp"
[11:34] <sebrock> jrib, Ok now I have that one in a ds for it own
[11:34] <Hisashi> oh
[11:34] <Flannel> lisapc: Not better, just different
[11:34] <joshjosh> jman_ did you sudo ndiswrapper -i driver.inf?
[11:34] <lisapc> voidmage ok, im now dl Kubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso
[11:34] <sebrock> jrib, guess I have to restart X? how do I do this without rebooting?
[11:34] <Flannel> lisapc: like most things in Linux, it's all personal preference
[11:34] <duneatreides> i downloaded the source code for abiword, I untared in to a directory [ /home/(USER)/downloads ] , I cd'ed into the abiword directory, and I try ./configure and i get the error  " ./configure: No such file or directory"
[11:34] <D--> ctrl+alt+backspace
[11:34] <lisapc> Flannel im now dl Kubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386.iso.
[11:34] <sebrock> alt+cntl+backspace does not work
[11:34] <l2s> hi i installed 6.06 server and it stops booting at ubuntu server 6.06 running local boot script
[11:35] <jrib> sebrock: nah, just:  killall devilspie; devilspie
[11:35] <Flannel> duneatreides: why are you compiling Abiword?
[11:35] <sebrock> ok
[11:35] <l2s> is it supposed to goto a prompt or is that where it is supposed to stop
[11:35] <jman_> joshjosh, I beleive so but i'll try it again brb
[11:35] <D--> killall -9 X?
[11:35] <joshjosh> jman_ alright.
[11:35] <k4zzy> I can't seem to get past a PCI allocation error on startup after a fresh install of ubuntu-server. Any suggestions?
[11:35] <lisapc> Flannel if it stops during install and stuffs up my boot sectors. how can I recover the system?
[11:35] <adrian_> shatrat: same as before: bash cvs cannot be found
[11:35] <Jowi> l2s, you're supposed to get a prompt
[11:35] <Flannel> lisapc: What are you recovering to?
[11:35] <l2s> its been an hr and no prompt
[11:35] <mcscruff> lo all, how do i use a diff GCC to so when i use make i can cross platform compile
[11:35] <sebrock> jrib, no think I have to restart... or at least dont have any windows open?
[11:35] <jrib> adrian_: have you installed cvs?
[11:36] <l2s> i did the lamp server install from the 6.06 server cd
[11:36] <lisapc> Flannel I have Vista on C: atm, and installing Kbuntu on D:
[11:36] <jrib> sebrock: no, I do it all the time, you just need to kill all the devilspie instances and start a new one
[11:36] <duneatreides> Flannel: jjust as an exercise, to increase my linux profiency, and I just want to run ./configure --help, I do not intend to actually compile abiword
[11:36] <Flannel> mcscruff: you don't need to use a different gcc, you just need ... um, some option will crosscompile.
[11:36] <shatrat> adrian_, what?  do "which cvs"
[11:36] <Jowi> l2s, try some different boot options like turning off acpi
[11:36] <l2s> reinstall?

[11:36] <lisapc> Flannel can kbuntu installer recognise my empty 20 gig NTFS D: and install unto that?
[11:36] <l2s> how
[11:36] <Flannel> duneatreides: that might be a nice reference.
[11:36] <l2s> it has 2 nics in it and a raid card
[11:36] <l2s> thats it
[11:36] <l2s> power mgt is off in bios
[11:36] <sebrock> jrib, it doesnt go down
[11:36] <jrib> sebrock: join me in #ubuntu-classroom
[11:37] <Flannel> lisapc: you might as well resize it in windows, but yeah, the installer can resize NTFS.
[11:37] <bulmer> lisapc: you need to reformat that partition
[11:37] <superm1> currently for a gnome session, gnome-session-save --kill can be used to initiate a logout. is there an equivalent for kde?
[11:37] <adrian_> to honest i don't know, i made it past the code: sudo cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.linuxdcpp.berlios.de:/cvsroot/linuxdcpp login and left the password empty and hit enter
[11:37] <lisapc> bulmer will my C: and E: drives be untouched?

[11:37] <sebrock> jrib, k
[11:37] <jrib> adrian_: why sudo?
[11:37] <shatrat> jrib, it's in the how-to, im not sure either
[11:37] <lisapc> bulmer can I tell ubuntu to install itself and create the swap parition using ONLY the D: ?
[11:37] <shatrat> adrian_, I mean seriously, use the command "which cvs"
[11:37] <Hisashi> how do i close gnome and go to text mode
[11:37] <bulmer> lisapc: correct, only the ones you partition or format
[11:38] <adrian_> jrib what do you mean?
[11:38] <shatrat> adrian_, cause im pretty sure you just installed it
[11:38] <jman_> joshjosh, tried it again still no go :-(
[11:38] <jrib> adrian_: theres no reason to use sudo
[11:38] <Flannel> mcscruff: --target is the option
[11:38] <lisapc> bulmer i have D: emoty its 20gig.  but I need to keep C: for Vista and E: for data!  Can I tell ubuntu to install itself and create the swap parition using ONLY the D: ?
[11:38] <bulmer> lisapc: if you are sharing the hard disk with another os..you need some manual intervention as you may not like what ubuntu chooses
[11:38] <adrian_> jrib: when is it no reason to use sudo?
[11:38] <mcscruff> Flannel: ty
[11:38] <Flannel> lisapc: Drive letters are meaningless.  ARe they separate drives? or partitions?
[11:38] <lisapc> bulmer so how i do that?
[11:39] <noelferreira> hi people. i use wireless driver rt61 and edgy amd64. every time i try to config the file /etc/network/interfaces my system won't start up. i have to delete the file and bring up ra0 manually with dhcp every time i reboot. any help?
[11:39] <jrib> adrian_: cvs just downloads stuff.  So you don't need access to anything outside your home directory
[11:39] <lisapc> Flannel 1 hard drive, with 3 partitions!
[11:39] <bulmer> lisapc: via the parted during install, choose manual
[11:39] <lisapc> bulmer ok chose manual!  and then can I tell it to create a swap partition using only D: and install ubuntu on D:?
[11:39] <shatrat> adrian_, how about i just send you the source code over IRC? lol
[11:40] <bulmer> lisapc: partition accordingly to your liking
[11:40] <bulmer> lisapc: you may even want to have more than 3 partitions
[11:40] <lisapc> bulmer will it then leave C: and E: as it is?
[11:40] <adrian_> jrib:ok, beginning to be really confused here, I'm new at this so
[11:40] <bulmer> lisapc: yes as long as you dont format it
[11:40] <lisapc> bulmer I cant touch C: and E: as they contain data already
[11:40] <joshjosh> jman_ : Hmm.. What ver of ubuntu and what card?
[11:40] <jrib> adrian_: do you understand what sudo does?
[11:41] <lisapc> bulmer so manual , i can tell it to only use D: ok?
[11:41] <bulmer> lisapc: and also do not attempt to re-designate those partitions
[11:41] <lisapc> bulmer  re-designate ?
[11:41] <bulmer> those partitions that have data..
[11:41] <jman_> joshjosh: it's edgy efty and a netgear ma311
[11:41] <null_> Due to a bad CD-ROM, I had to complete most of my install using 'apt-get install xubuntu-desktop.'  This did not automatically install my wireless card.  How can I go about having it recognize and install my card?
[11:41] <shatrat> adrian_, Did you get the file transfer request?
[11:41] <bulmer> lisapc: like choosing which FS a partition should have  == re-designating
[11:42] <adrian_> shatrat: where should I save it?
[11:42] <posingaspopular> null_: ask in #xubuntu
[11:42] <lisapc> bulmer ok! ill only tell it to alter D: and nothing else.
[11:42] <shatrat> adrian_, doesnt matter...but somewhere that you can find it :D
[11:42] <bulmer> lisapc: okay, good luck
[11:42] <lisapc> bulmer so the ubunt installer can use D: to create swap partition on it?
[11:42] <joshjosh> jman_, is it detecting your card?
[11:42] <adrian_> jrib: no i don't know what sudo means, been using ubuntu for 3 days now so
[11:42] <ShiftyPowers> anyone know how to fix this error? Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0"
[11:42] <posingaspopular> adrian_: superuser do
[11:43] <lisapc> does the kubuntu-6.10-alternate-i386 fit on a 700MB cd-rw?
[11:43] <Jowi> null_, was the base system installed properly from the beginning?
[11:43] <posingaspopular> Su do
[11:43] <eddy> hello, I wouder if there is a other engine for amarok then "xine"
[11:43] <Flannel> lisapc: yeah
[11:43] <crdlb> eddy, gstreamer
[11:43] <lisapc> adrian_ sudo - super user DO
[11:43] <Loonatic64> question.   i have ubuntu installed on 1 hdd and windows installed on a seperate hdd.   i have 3 partitons on my windows drive.  2 are FAT32 and 1 is NTFS.   i have been able to mount the FAT32 drives in ubuntu, but how do i mount my NTFSdrive?
[11:43] <bulmer> lisapc: it can, a swap partition does not have to be in a separate partition, but it is wiser to have it in a separate one, so in your case, add a 4th actually a 5th partition
[11:43] <null_> Jowi, I don't think so.  It had enough to get to the console and for me to finish the install using eth0
[11:43] <lisapc> bulmer i rather leave it all on D: if I can.  can I?
[11:43] <jrib> adrian_: k, well in linux, permissions is a big thing.  Your user (lets say his name is adrian) can only modify files in his $HOME directory (which is /home/adrian usually).  And the rest of the filesystem can only be modified by root (the admin in a way).  To execute things as root you use sudo
 ok thanks but is that beter?
[11:44] <k4zzy> I can't boot into a fresh install of ubuntu-server, I get a PCI allocation error, and it hangs there. I've tried several boot options (ie, noacpi, noapic, nolapic), but I still get the same problem. Can somebody please help me with this?
[11:44] <lisapc> bulmer so ubunti doesnt have to create a seperate partition for swap?
[11:44] <jman_> joshjosh, why wouldn't it, it detected and worked fine during installation?
[11:44] <Magno> holas
 sorry if I spell bad
[11:44] <bulmer> lisapc: you can..but there are extra steps you have to do, like perhaps manually telling which file is a swap
[11:44] <adrian_> posingaspopular: ok is that meant to make me go. Yeah of, course, How clear isn't that now, or what?
[11:44] <crdlb> eddy, you having problems with xine? I like gstreamer though
[11:44] <Loonatic64> does anyone know how i can mount an NTFS drive so i can see it in Ubunut??
[11:44] <bulmer> lisapc: what is the problem of having a 5th partition?
[11:44] <lisapc> bulmer im scared to play around as I cant have C: and E: altered
[11:45] <Flannel> !ntfs | Loonatic64
[11:45] <ubotu> Loonatic64: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[11:45] <lisapc> bulmer in case something goes wrong, i wont be able to remove those partitions Ubuntu created
[11:45] <bulmer> lisapc: if you are scared, umm get another drive for you to play with :)
[11:45] <adrian_> jrib: okey, finally some logic I can understand some part of :)
[11:45] <Loonatic64> ok thanks
[11:45] <Flannel> lisapc: you might want to do all your partitioning in windows
 how du I get gstreamer?
[11:45] <shatrat> adrian_, well it looks like the transfer got aborted, want me to email it to you?
[11:45] <lisapc> Flannel its done!  i cant now touch C: and E:
[11:45] <Loonatic64> and my next question.    is it possible to run World of Warcraft in Ubuntu??
[11:45] <Flannel> lisapc: Right, I mean split up your second partition into a data and a swap partition
[11:46] <Flannel> Loonatic64: yep.  There are howtos in the forums (ubuntuforums.org)
[11:46] <adrian_> I have accept but nothings happening :(
[11:46] <Spartacus> !su
[11:46] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[11:46] <bulmer> lisapc: this is part of the learning process, sometimes you make mistakes..so if you are afraid, then to be safe, get another hard disk
[11:46] <Xenguy> I've read rumours that yes, it is
[11:46] <Jowi> null_, you can try the minimal cd https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[11:46] <crdlb> eddy, I don't know, don't really use amarok much, but I don't gstreamer will work better than xine for you
[11:46] <Loonatic64> great.   thank you very much
[11:46] <D_E_M_O_N_X> hi from where i can  find themes for ubuntu ?
[11:46] <posingaspopular> google
[11:46] <shatrat> adrian_, yeah it aborted, im not sure how dcc in irc works but I think one of us needs to have some ports open.  Probably easier just to email it, its only 400k

[11:46] <eddy> ok
[11:46] <Theory5> okay i did that sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop now it did all this stuff downloading and such and now the screen is blank! what do i do?!?!
[11:46] <eddy> thanks!
[11:46] <D_E_M_O_N_X> o thank you
[11:47] <lisapc> bulmer you are not helping, in fact you are now bordering on trolling.  thats NOT a soluition as im not going to buy a new HDD!  I got what I got, thats it!
[11:47] <Jowi> Theory5, that's the screensaver. press space and you will get your screen back.
[11:47] <Flannel> Theory5: the screen is blank, it went to powersaving.  If you want, push space or whatnot, and it'll come back up
[11:47] <xamox> Is there some type of audio panel? where I can change bass, mid, etc.?
[11:47] <Theory5> thansk
[11:47] <Theory5> thanks
[11:47] <bulmer> lisapc it is your choice, am just telling you the fact, if you are too scared....
[11:47] <D_E_M_O_N_X> can i use kde themes on gnome
[11:47] <D_E_M_O_N_X> or no
[11:47] <jrib> D_E_M_O_N_X: no
[11:47] <crdlb> xamox, some media players have equalizers
[11:47] <D_E_M_O_N_X> 'ok
[11:47] <adrian_> shatrat: ok, send it to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[11:47] <Flannel> D_E_M_O_N_X: no, Gnome themes on gnome (Ubuntu), KDE themes for KDE (Kubuntu), et al.
[11:48] <null_> Jowi, I have Ubuntu up and running.  I just need it to recognize and install my wireless card.  Is there a script I can call?
[11:48] <BigMac> Seveas: you here
[11:48] <duneatreides> i'm having issues with running { ./configure --help  }on the abiword source code that I downloaded.  I keep on receiving the error " no such file or directory"
[11:48] <jrib> D_E_M_O_N_X: you can install kde though and have both gnome and kde
[11:48] <lisapc> bulmer ok cheers :)
[11:48] <lisapc> brb
[11:48] <dimeotane> any suggestions for the best way to do regular system backups to DVD+RW?
[11:48] <Jowi> null_, I don't know
[11:48] <D_E_M_O_N_X> yeah i know
[11:48] <lisapc> bulmer lastly!  IF ubuntu doesnt install proper but wrote the grub. how can i get Vista working again?
[11:48] <Spartacus> Can anyone tell me the difference between su and sudo?
[11:48] <xamox> my audio seems super quiet, I have the volume turned up and my actual hardware volume turned up and it's barely listenable
[11:48] <xamox> cranked up the pre-amp in amarok
[11:48] <D_E_M_O_N_X> from where i can download kde
[11:48] <xamox> doesn't seem to help
[11:48] <cheeseboy> any reason why gfceu disappearswhen i try to configure controls?
[11:48] <dimeotane> Spartacus: su puts you in superuser mode
[11:48] <crdlb> xamox, run the alsamixer command
[11:49] <bulmer> lisapc: i have not toyed with vista yet..so i do not know
[11:49] <dimeotane> Spartacus: sudo just for the single command
[11:49] <Spartacus> ah
[11:49] <Comrade-Sergei> how do you access a folder in terminal with a space in it?
[11:49] <Jowi> xamox, did you connect the plug to line-out or speaker jack?
[11:49] <Flannel> dimeotane, Spartacus, Ubuntu doesn't use su.  If you wan a root prompt, 'sudo -i', but even that is rarely needed
[11:49] <adrian_> shatrat: tell me when you have emailed it, ok?
[11:49] <Flannel> Comrade-Sergei: escape the space (\ ), if you tab complete, it'll do it for you
[11:49] <Jake> I need help configuring my xorg.conf file, so that  i can have seperate x servers for seperate monitors.
[11:49] <shatrat> adrian_, it's sent
[11:49] <Jowi> xamox, (line-out is generally very quiet)
[11:49] <dimeotane> Flannel: u sure?  I just used su an hour ago (or so I thought)
[11:49] <Flannel> lisapc: You'll recover the windows boot thing, with the windows CD
[11:49] <Spartacus> Well, I'm trying to install Ktoons, the guide says to use su >.>
[11:49] <crdlb> Comrade-Sergei, or put it in quotes
[11:50] <lisapc> bulmer i just learned that I can rezise my 20gig D: from vista!  should I resized it to 19gig and leave a 1 gig partition for Ubuntu?
[11:50] <xamox> Jowi, no, it's like it was working before and fro some reason now it's really quiet
[11:50] <btaylor> Comrade-Sergei: you put it in quotes or you escape the space with a backslash
[11:50] <Flannel> dimeotane: you would've have to previously set a root password.  Which, there's no reason to
[11:50] <Jowi> xamox, run "alsamixer" and have a look. best bet.
[11:50] <lisapc> bulmer yeah, bit that takes 1 hour and 15mins and i lose weeks of updates
[11:50] <dimeotane> Flannel: reason is.. you get tired of sudoing everything sometimes
[11:50] <bulmer> lisapc: why so timid with the space..give it a bit more room..maybe 4 gigs?
[11:50] <xamox> Ahh!
[11:50] <lisapc> Flannel i just learned that I can rezise my 20gig D: from vista!  should I resized it to 19gig and leave a 1 gig partition for Ubuntu?
[11:50] <Hisashi> hey do i have to do something to use 1240x1024?
[11:50] <xamox> alsamixer fixed it
[11:50] <Jake> I need help setting up me xorg.conf to run dual monitors on seperate x servers
[11:50] <Comrade-Sergei> Flannel what do you mean escape for example do Program Files
[11:51] <lisapc> bulmer 4 gigs for swap????
