[12:00] <echobinary> apt-get reinstall?
[12:00] <fusion> what's the full command to reinstall openoffice?  I'm quite the newb =\
[12:00] <graveson> gnomefreak: ok i have copied your complete file and now am using your file as my source file .please see output apt-get update
[12:00] <paradizelost> !openoffice
[12:00] <ubotu> paradizelost: Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[12:01] <eggzeck> fusion: sudo apt-get install openoffice.org2
[12:01] <fusion> thanks a lot.
[12:01] <fusion> i'll see if that works
[12:01] <paradizelost> fusion: or you could use synaptic or aptitude
[12:01] <graveson> gnomefreak : http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13767
[12:02] <eggzeck> fusion: small tip: apt-cache search | egrep openoffice.*
[12:02] <echobinary> alright all - im out for now, ill be back later. have fun!
[12:02] <fusion> eggzeck: what's that do?
[12:03] <gnomefreak> graveson: that is ok for now run what you need to hang out a bit i will check on it as soon as im done with this
[12:03] <sys> hi all.
[12:03] <graveson> gnomefreak: ok thanks
[12:04] <eggzeck> fusion: oops, that's: apt-cache search openoffice | egrep openoffice.*
[12:04] <sys> I gave a ubuntu cd to a friend of mine, and he installed it at his PC
[12:04] <eggzeck> fusion: it will search for any packages that contain "openoffice" in it
[12:04] <paradizelost> sys: K....
[12:04] <sys> he asked me to install some extra software to him, like some compilers and stuff
[12:04] <fusion> oh, ok
[12:04] <josh__> !filetypes
[12:04] <ubotu> josh__: I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[12:04] <crocd> has anybody here installed ubuntu-amd64 iso yet?
[12:04] <paradizelost> sys: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:04] <josh__> !filetype
[12:04] <ubotu> josh__: NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[12:04] <josh__> lol
[12:04] <eggzeck> fusion: it's also using egrep to filter it and tell it to only show those packages that contain the text "openoffice"
[12:04] <josh__> damn
[12:05] <OneTruth> what is the username to execute cgi on ubuntu?
[12:05] <OneTruth> and the group?
[12:05] <sys> but he doesn't have internet access in his home, so I thought I could create a customized CD containing just the packages I want (and their dependencies)
[12:06] <sys> is there a practical way to do this? download only some packages and their deps?
[12:06] <paradizelost> sys: have fun
[12:06] <joona> argh
[12:06] <paradizelost> sys: burn your /var/cache/apt/
[12:06] <joona> i cant get my wifi to work
[12:06] <joona> dlink g630
[12:06] <joona> anybody got that card?
[12:06] <sys> paradizelost, i don't have ubuntu installed here yet, i'm still on debian
[12:06] <fusion> eggzeck: i did sudo apt-get install openoffice.org2 and it said everything was up to date, but it still won't work
[12:06] <sys> :/
[12:06] <paradizelost> sys: then really have fun...
[12:07] <eggzeck> fusion: killall gnome-panel
[12:07] <sys> paradizelost, I was afraid to hear that
[12:07] <eggzeck> and check in Applications->Office
[12:07] <sys> well, thanks anyway
[12:07] <Isyth> !nonfree
[12:07] <ubotu> Isyth: Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[12:07] <fusion> still nothing =\
[12:08] <eggzeck> fusion: try running it from command line with the command: openoffice
[12:08] <fusion> btw...whats aptitude?  i know what synaptic.
[12:08] <gnomefreak> graveson: i will type your name than commands for you to run run the commands as typed please let me know when your ready
[12:09] <graveson> gnomefreak : i am ready
[12:09] <gnomefreak> graveson: gpg --keyserver subkeys.pgp.net --recv 437D05B5
[12:09] <movi> what packages does ubuntu need for mp3 playback ?
[12:09] <gnomefreak> graveson: copy and paste it
[12:09] <Isyth> Hey, if it says "-nonfree" behind a package, does that mean it needs to be payd for, or does it mean it's not part of the free open source project?
[12:09] <gnomefreak> let me know when ready for next command
[12:09] <joona> anybody good at getting wireless up in ubuntu?
[12:09] <josh__> !chm
[12:09] <ubotu> josh__: Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[12:09] <movi> Isyth, the second one
[12:09] <joona> i really frustrated right now
[12:09] <gnomefreak> graveson: gpg --export --armor KEY | sudo apt-key add -
[12:09] <_jason> Isyth: the latter
[12:09] <gnomefreak> shoot
[12:09] <eggzeck> fusion: run it in your term: aptitude
[12:09] <gnomefreak> dont use that one
[12:09] <eggzeck> fusion: did you try to use the command "openoffice"
[12:09] <Isyth> excellent, thank you.
[12:10] <graveson> gnomefreak : ok done
[12:10] <gnomefreak> graveson: give me one sec
[12:10] <josh__> what would i use to see .chm files?
[12:10] <fusion> all i get is command not found
[12:11] <Nihil_85> hi guys! i don't want to start a flame, but i have a question: Intel or AMD? :D i have to buy a processor, possibly dual core
[12:11] <gnomefreak> graveson: gpg --export --armor 437D05B5 | sudo apt-key add -
[12:11] <paradizelost> !tell movi about mp3
[12:11] <gnomefreak> graveson: copy and paste that including the - at the end
[12:11] <eggzeck> fusion: errrr, then you don't have it installed, how can it say that?
[12:11] <gnomefreak> graveson: it should say it imported 1 key or something along those lines
[12:12] <Isyth> thank you!
[12:12] <fusion> eggzeck:  i have no idea =\  it shows up in my application list so i figured it was installed.
[12:12] <Isyth> ciao
[12:12] <graveson> gnomefreak: just - OK
[12:12] <gnomefreak> graveson: run sudo apt-get update now and give me 2 mins i have to reboot
[12:12] <gnomefreak> let me know when i get back please
[12:12] <fusion> eggzeck:  during my install of ubuntu today it said it had some problems getting all packages installed, maybe those were it?
[12:13] <eggzeck> fusion: perhaps, try this: sudo apt-get remove --purge openoffice.org2
[12:13] <eggzeck> fusion: then reinstall it.
[12:13] <fusion> ok
[12:16] <OneTruth> how do i install perl modules?
[12:16] <OneTruth> can i do this with apt-get?
[12:16] <paradizelost> OneTruth: the best way
[12:16] <paradizelost> perl -MCPAN -e shell
[12:16] <paradizelost> say no
[12:16] <paradizelost> then install perl::module
[12:17] <screevo> Can anyone give me any help on how to fix the ATI/Mesa problem?
[12:17] <Drac|Win> My BIOS can't detect that this new CPU is higher than 333MHz. Will Linux be able to override the BIOS processor clock settings and run the CPU appropriately?
[12:17] <_harm> Anyone have some .mp4 files they can send me to test something"?
[12:17] <paradizelost> screevo: you use Xgl?
[12:17] <screevo> I've tried all the HowTo's and FAQ's I can find on the forums.
[12:17] <ShadowNova> Little audio question for you guys. I need the background audio of a song (no lyrics). I removed them with the xmms voice removal plug-in, but now I need to record it. Anyone know how to record it off xmms?
[12:17] <OneTruth> paradizelost: cool, thanx so if i needed tthe CGI::Session module i would type install CGI::Session?
[12:17] <screevo> i'm trying to use frglx
[12:18] <paradizelost> screevo: and it's using the mesa driver so no DRI
[12:18] <paradizelost> yep
[12:18] <fusion> eggzeck:  it works!
[12:18] <OneTruth> paradizelost: awesome thanks
[12:18] <eggzeck> fusion: awesome, glad that helped. Good work :)
[12:18] <paradizelost> you need to add fglrx to /etc/modules, edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf and make sure the driver is fglrx
[12:18] <fusion> eggzeck:  thanks for the help, and for putting up with my newbness =D
[12:18] <paradizelost> then reboot
[12:18] <screevo> i did those
[12:18] <fusion> thanks everyone
[12:18] <eggzeck> fusion: np
[12:18] <screevo> well, not the etc/modules one
[12:19] <paradizelost> screevo: the /etc/modules loads the driver on boot, before the mesa module can get loaded
[12:19] <gnomefreak> graveson: did it fix it?
[12:19] <Captain_Redbeard> Hmm... I guess there are no prekompiled kernels supporting NTFS writing as of now for ubuntu?
[12:19] <Captain_Redbeard> My system refuses me to compile one for myself and no matter what it can't boot and complains about not being able to mount /dev/hda3 as root file system... it can't find it for some reason
[12:19] <paradizelost> !tell Captain_Redbeard about ntfs
[12:19] <domanig> I am dealing with vnc4server and get this error: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file. libstdc++6 is installed.
[12:19] <domanig> any ideas?
[12:20] <OneTruth> also i need RCS apt-get cant find it, is it actually called RCS?
[12:20] <OneTruth> GNU diff
[12:20] <serp> !tell serp about ntfs
[12:20] <graveson> gnomefreak: yes i think so , i have run sudo apt-get update 3 times now ,and the error occured only once . i believe this is normal ?
[12:20] <paradizelost> OneTruth: i don't know
[12:20] <arrick> NTFS SUCKS
[12:20] <Flannel> OneTruth: what's RCS?
[12:20] <screevo> ok, i've added fglrx to /etc/modules. here's hoping... *sudo reboots*
[12:20] <arrick> there told him/her about ntfs
[12:20] <OneTruth> interesting, im installing a wiki that requires RCS 5.7 or higher including GNU diff
[12:21] <OneTruth> paradizelost: i dunno thats all it says...
[12:21] <Captain_Redbeard> paradizelost: well I know all that :p
[12:21] <kbrooks> OneTruth: um
[12:21] <kbrooks> OneTruth: apt-get install rcs
[12:21] <Flannel> oh, yeah.  OneTruth, it's in apt.  package name "rcs"
[12:21] <graveson> screevo: good luck ,i gave up trying already
[12:21] <OneTruth> i think it means Revision Control System
[12:21] <gnomefreak> graveson: it could be
[12:21] <gnomefreak> graveson: run it in about 30 mins
[12:21] <kbrooks> OneTruth: case MATTERS!!!!!
[12:21] <OneTruth> lol yea
[12:21] <domanig> I am dealing with vnc4server and get this error: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file. libstdc++6 is installed.
[12:21] <paradizelost> Captain_Redbeard: you aren't trying to use / as ntfs are you?
[12:22] <OneTruth> lower case, but the site listed it in uppercase so thats what i searched for
[12:22] <OneTruth> Thanks!
[12:22] <graveson> gnomefreak: ok will do ,thanks for your help
[12:22] <kbrooks> OneTruth: "RCS" and "rcs" are not the same
[12:22] <Captain_Redbeard> My main issue is that I can't write to it with the "official" kernel and that I can't boot my home-made kernel
[12:22] <gnomefreak> yw graveson
[12:22] <paradizelost> domanig: did you apt-get install vnc4server?
[12:22] <Captain_Redbeard> paradizelost: haha no ;) ext3
[12:22] <paradizelost> Captain_Redbeard: then you did your kernel wrong...
[12:22] <OneTruth> if i install a perl module do i need to restart anything?
[12:22] <Captain_Redbeard> paradizelost: that's what I thought too...
[12:22] <paradizelost> Captain_Redbeard: did you do an initrd image?
[12:22] <ShadowNova> Can anyone tell me how to record something from xmms? I modified a song with the voice removal plug-in and want to record the new version of the song without lyrics
[12:23] <domanig> paradizelost, yeah.. And then i did vnc4server and got this.. Because it will require a password to access desktops
[12:23] <paradizelost> domanig: try x11vnc or xvncserver instead
[12:23] <Captain_Redbeard> paradizelost: but I've been going over it for several days.... and it is basically exactly the same kernel but with added NTFS write support...
[12:23] <paradizelost> x11vnc does server-side scaling
[12:23] <Captain_Redbeard> I did that just to try... but it stillr efuses...
[12:23] <domanig> paradizelost, commands not found
[12:23] <zeccoz> I'm trying to install ircii
[12:23] <paradizelost> domanig: you'll need to install them
[12:24] <ruzgar> how can i install open office 2.0.2
[12:24] <[Utah] tristanbob> is there a command-line program to send an email attachment that doesn't require an MTA?
[12:24] <zeccoz> And it says the package libc6 is not configured
[12:24] <paradizelost> Captain_Redbeard: did you make the initrd image, put it in /boot, and do the proper entries in /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[12:24] <ruzgar> i have downloaded the .deb packages from openoffice site
[12:24] <jenesuispasbavar> Ubuntu's lost my hostname again, it's missing from the /etc/hosts file, and this time, adding <IP_ADDRESS> localhost.localdomain Tails doesn't work.   ?
[12:24] <[Utah] tristanbob> looking at Mutt and Mailx, they both want Postfix
[12:24] <ruzgar> but i cant install it tehere a lot of packages
[12:24] <paradizelost> [Utah] tristanbob: you cant send email w/o a mail transport agent, be it on your local system or an smtp server you can send through
[12:24] <Captain_Redbeard> paradizelost: Uhm... what would I need an initrd image for? :p shouldn't be needed?
[12:24] <paradizelost> ruzgar: dpkg -i *.deb
[12:25] <zeccoz> >:/
[12:25] <domanig> paradizelost, my problem is really i need to set a password for vncserver
[12:25] <cfedde> can anyone tell me about usb serial adapters on ubuntu?
[12:25] <domanig> x11vnc tells me you are running x11vnc without a password
[12:25] <paradizelost> Captain_Redbeard: yah, it's needed
[12:25] <ruzgar> ok thanks
[12:25] <paradizelost> domanig: you have to specify the password file
[12:25] <paradizelost> domanig: man x11vnc
[12:26] <Captain_Redbeard> paradizelost: Got some goot information about it? Like a link or so? I never had to use it on any other dists I've been running though :x
[12:26] <paradizelost> !initrd
[12:26] <ubotu> What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, paradizelost
[12:26] <[Utah] tristanbob> paradizelost: How come evolution works, without postfix
[12:26] <OneTruth> do i have to restart anything if i install new perl modules?
[12:26] <dabaR> I have a new powerbook, and sometimes when I come back from suspend(sleep), my computer locks up, the keyboard does, anyhow, and the mouse, as I can see the time changing in gnome. I guess the computer does not awake the keyboard+touchpad. It also resets my hardware clock quite often, which screws up my gnome-session, it can not start. If I then ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com, it gets fixed, but I do not always have a network connection, so it is a
[12:26] <ablyss> oneTruth, no
[12:26] <paradizelost> [Utah] tristanbob: you are telling it where the smtp server is right?
[12:26] <OneTruth> weird
[12:26] <paradizelost> OneTruth: shouldn't once you install it
[12:27] <zeccoz> !ircii
[12:27] <ubotu> I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, zeccoz
[12:27] <zeccoz> lol
[12:27] <OneTruth> paradizelost: i installed the CGI::Session module but my installation script says it still isnt there...

[12:28] <paradizelost> well, time to head home.  cya all later

[12:29] <revartj> hello
[12:29] <revartj> i have to problem
[12:29] <Drac|Win> Being ignored isn't fun. :|
[12:30] <dutch> ok, but not intereseting in installing another browser
[12:30] <bretzel> Hi there, Where can I get the source-code of that /bin/login program ??? I want to make my hands on an idea ... :-)
[12:30] <Kyral> liferea
[12:30] <Kyral> is good
[12:30] <dutch> kyral: thanks
[12:30] <ablyss> gnu.org i beleive bretzel
[12:30] <revartj> i have intalled vls, but i don't have egg to run
[12:31] <Flannel> bretzel: you can get it from the repositories.  get the source instead of the binary
[12:31] <tescoil> Just about everything I've tried to compile from source returns a load of syntax errors -- I don't believe it.
[12:31] <bretzel> ablyss: I went and found that downloading stuff from there seems very deep in sublinks because I had no luck to find any sources
[12:31] <Drac|Win> My BIOS can't detect that this new CPU is higher than 333MHz. Will Linux be able to override the BIOS processor clock settings and run the CPU appropriately?
[12:31] <jenesuispasbavar> Ubuntu's lost my hostname again, but this time adding <IP_ADDRESS> localhost.localdomain <hostname> to /etc/hosts doesn't work.
[12:32] <tescoil> ./configure goes fine, but as soon as you run make, it goes berserk.
[12:32] <Flannel> Drac|Win: erm, does your motherboard support the CPU?  Maybe you need to reflash the bios.
[12:32] <revartj> the problem is --> Error: Unable to load /usr/lib/vls/dvbinput.so
[12:32] <revartj> ??
[12:34] <harisund> Flannel, what's difference between ~/.irssi/config and ~/.irssirc ? Can they both hold the same contents?
[12:34] <Fix_> does anybody know the name of gettext dev package on dapper ? can't seem to find it
[12:35] <Flannel> harisund: Ive never used ~/.irssi/config just the rc file.  what do you put in the /config?
[12:37] <roo_> when you hold a key down it should continue to 'press' until you let go.. e.g. kkkkkk.
[12:37] <roo_> However, when I hold a key down, no matter for how long, all I get is one letter.
[12:37] <roo_> This is recent behaviour :/
[12:38] <Flannel> roo_: I believe thats configurable, if its not in "keyboard" itll be in accessibility
[12:38] <Seq> has anybody experienced an issue on dapper where nautilus is keeping an external device in use, thus causing it to refuse to be unmounted?
[12:38] <Flannel> Seq: #ubuntu+1
[12:38] <_harm> does ubuntu come with a terminal run browser?
[12:38] <_harm> like dillo?
[12:39] <roo_> Flannel, thanks i'll look into that dude.
[12:39] <Flannel> _harm: "come with" pre-installed? no.  Its in the repositories though
[12:40] <Seq> thanks Flannel
[12:40] <_harm> ah ok thx
[12:41] <OneTruth> I need to move a directory from one ubuntu server to another, how do i do that?
[12:41] <Captain_Redbeard> OneTruth: cp? ;)
[12:41] <Captain_Redbeard> OneTruth: Are they connected in any way?
[12:41] <OneTruth> Captain_Redbeard: yes through a network
[12:41] <Captain_Redbeard> OneTruth: got samba? or FTP?
[12:41] <bretzel> hello... I need the source code for the /bin/login program.... I can't find it anywhere!...
[12:41] <OneTruth> Captain_Redbeard: one has ftp
[12:42] <OneTruth> i can use that, im dumb
[12:42] <OneTruth> Captain_Redbeard: thanks ;)
[12:42] <Captain_Redbeard> bretzel: It's part of binutils I think...
[12:42] <bretzel> afk -- smoking time
[12:42] <Captain_Redbeard> OneTruth: No prob :)
[12:42] <Fix_> OneTruth: scp ?
[12:42] <bretzel> binutils... good I check it :-) ....
[12:42] <jenesuispasbavar> How do I change my hostname in Breezy? None of my programs start.
[12:42] <OneTruth> Fix_:  what is scp?
[12:42] <Fix_> cp over ssh
[12:42] <Fix_> on your server
[12:43] <Fix_> scp -r dir username@server:./destination
[12:43] <Captain_Redbeard> Fix_: A bit overkill with SSH copying files on an internal network don't you think? :)
[12:43] <OneTruth> ohh cool
[12:43] <Fix_> don't know if it is internal
[12:43] <OneTruth> maybe but thats cool to know
[12:44] <Captain_Redbeard> Fix_: True true But I assumed it...
[12:44] <Fix_> Captain_Redbeard: I know more machines running ssh daemon than ftp
[12:44] <Fix_> :)
[12:44] <jenesuispasbavar> I tried editing /etc/hosts in recovery mode but my programs still don't start.
[12:44] <paradizelost> i'm downloading the  dapper disk at 2MBps
[12:44] <paradizelost> 2500KBps
[12:44] <Fix_> Captain_Redbeard: do you by any chance know the dapper package for gettext dev ?
[12:45] <Captain_Redbeard> Fix_: Ah, sorry not really :/
[12:45] <Fix_> thnx anyway
[12:45] <Captain_Redbeard> Time to switch OS....
[12:45] <Captain_Redbeard> be back in a few...
[12:46] <doug_b> does anyone here own a video ipod and use ubuntu with it?
[12:47] <roo_> Flannel, that worked - thanks a lot man.
[12:48] <OneTruth> what is the ftp command to put a directory?
[12:48] <paradizelost> mput IIRC
[12:48] <ruzgar> can i play quicktime movies on linux?
[12:48] <paradizelost> puts more than 1 file,
[12:49] <OneTruth> mput ok
[12:49] <Bilange> ruzgar: not out-of-the-box, but its possible, yes
[12:49] <paradizelost> ruzgar: try using easyubuntu
[12:49] <OneTruth> says not a plain file?
[12:49] <paradizelost> !tell ruzgar about easyubuntu
[12:49] <ruzgar> ok thanks
[12:50] <OneTruth> paradizelost: why does it say, "not a plain file" ?
[12:50] <paradizelost> you may be in ascii mode
[12:51] <paradizelost> type bin
[12:51] <paradizelost> then mput
[12:51] <OneTruth> paradizelost:  says im in binary
[12:51] <OneTruth> paradizelost: same thing
[12:51] <paradizelost> k.  then you'll need to mkdir the directory, then cd into it, and mput all the files
[12:51] <OneTruth> ok
[12:51] <OneTruth> cool
[12:52] <delmar> Any recommendations for some kinda Antivirus for ubuntu? I notice evolution doesn't have anything, not that it matters too much since the mail server has lots of AV protection already... but i would still like some feedback on some AV software for my linux workstation.. anyone?
[12:53] <paradizelost> delmar: i recommend clamav
[12:53] <Skwid_> hum
[12:53] <delmar> paradizelost, cheers.
[12:53] <delmar> anyone else?
[12:53] <Skwid_> is there any howto on how to arrange the fonts in ubuntu ???
[12:54] <eggzeck> Skwid_: what do you mean arrange?
[12:54] <Skwid_> i don't know
[12:54] <Skwid_> they look crappy
[12:54] <Skwid_> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=20976
[12:54] <Skwid_> i found this
[12:54] <Skwid_> but it's quite old
[12:54] <eggzeck> Skwid_: you can change fonts with System->Preferences->Font
[12:54] <Skwid_> was wondering if there was anything newer for dapper
[12:55] <daryl> I'm having a difficult time installing winetools.  could someone refer me to a good wiki/howto?
[12:55] <ablyss> Skwid, you can try adjust the settings on fonts by using gnomes font utility
[12:56] <asdx> there is some way for detecting a shared printer on a lan?
[12:56] <asdx> and add it
[12:56] <daryl> asdx: yes
[12:57] <asdx> hm, how?
[12:57] <daryl> asdx: go to system > administration > printing
[12:57] <daryl> asdx: double click add printer
[12:58] <daryl> addx: select network printer, then select windows printer from the drop down menu
[12:58] <chripher> does somebody know why I can not boot with a HP370 chip
[12:58] <asdx> daryl, and?
[12:58] <grout58> anyone had any luck getting the Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 to run under ubuntu
[12:58] <daryl> asdx: then you'll be required to enter your network password logon if your at work.  if your at home, it should just show you the computers w/printers shared in the host drop down box
[12:59] <daryl> asdx: select the name of the printer in the host drop down box.  then select the printer from the pritner drop down box.  then hit forward.
[12:59] <asdx> ok
[12:59] <grout58> all i can choose for resolution is 1024x768
[12:59] <ShadowNova> Can anyone here tell me how I can record the output of xmms? I modified a song with a few plug-ins and I'd like to record the new output.
[01:00] <chripher> can somebody help me wih install error with HP370 disk controller
[01:00] <iNiku> ShadowNova: I think there's a disk writer output plugin
[01:00] <ablyss> ShadowNova, i forget the name but there is a plugin for saving the xmms output to a wav file

[01:01] <duckdown> Hey all.  I try to use a proxy or TOR before IRC, and I'm currently using XCHAT, but when I DCC chat an eggdrop or a person, my home IP keeps being displayed!  How can I prevent this?  I want to filter my DCCs also!
[01:01] <anto9us> grout58, you may need to add monitor specs to your xorg.conf file see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:02] <eod_punk> can you restart ub
[01:02] <chripher> can someody help me  wiht error in install
[01:03] <soundray> !helpme
[01:03] <ubotu> If you do not actually ask a question, we cannot actually help you. :)
[01:03] <eod_punk> untu can you restart ubuntu without actualy restartin the computer?
[01:03] <soundray> eod_punk: you can restart individual services as needed.
[01:03] <chripher> High Point 370 problems I think
[01:03] <eod_punk> ahh ok soundray
[01:03] <asdx> daryl, it dosn't work, it seems that don't detect automatically. i'll try manually
[01:03] <eod_punk> thanks
[01:04] <soundray> eod_punk: look at /etc/init.d/*
[01:04] <asdx> daryl, the printer is an hp 3550 and is plugged on windows xp.
[01:04] <WildZeck> eod_punk,  for X just ctrl + alt + bacspace
[01:04] <gnomefreak> duckdown: i would ask that in either #xchat or #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:04] <soundray> eod_punk: most of the files are scripts that you can call with 'sudo /etc/init.d/service restart'
[01:04] <Bilange> eod_punk: if you just want to restart the graphical interface, theres ctrl+alt+backspace, too. Dont try it before saving anything, as it KILLS the processes started after X was started :)
[01:05] <chripher> what about me
[01:05] <Bilange> so thats a way of restarting without rebooting... in a way
[01:05] <vincenz> !wpa
[01:05] <ubotu> rumour has it, wpa is enable the universe repository, then "sudo apt-get update", and then "sudo apt-get install wpasupplicant".  See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WPAHowto for more details
[01:05] <trainstroker> how do i edit startup progs
[01:05] <soundray> !tell chripher about ask
[01:05] <soundray> trainstroker: what do you want to do?
[01:06] <trainstroker> i have 5 copies of the same prog start whn i boot ubuntu
[01:06] <chripher> !hp370
[01:06] <ubotu> chripher: No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[01:06] <soundray> trainstroker: what program is that?
[01:06] <chripher> I can not be more specific
[01:06] <gnomefreak> chripher: if you ask us we might be able to help or point you in right place for help
[01:07] <chripher> I can not reboot after install
[01:07] <trainstroker> gaim
[01:07] <soundray> chripher: post the error message to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[01:07] <chripher> no error my pc keep on rebooting
[01:08] <soundray> trainstroker: it's probably a threaded program that shows up several times in the process list, although it really only runs once.
[01:08] <chripher> but I think the proble i my diskcontroller it is an HP370
[01:08] <soundray> chripher: what makes you think that?
[01:08] <domanig> x11vnc automatically stops after 1 session has logged out, how can I prevent this? and how to set a password?
[01:08] <trainstroker> no the programs fight over which prog should connect to my account
[01:08] <trainstroker> brb
[01:09] <chripher> because I can not see any disks in live either
[01:09] <soundray> chripher: is that a SCSI controller?
[01:10] <chripher> no it is a High Point 370 disk controller commmon few years ago
[01:10] <iNiku> an ATA RAID controller, I believe
[01:10] <chripher> no Raid
[01:10] <iNiku> no? okay
[01:11] <anto9us> chripher, it's likely your /boot will need to be somewhere that your bios can see
[01:11] <anto9us> chripher, then you may need a kernel module to see the controller correctly
[01:11] <chripher> ehm u men what now
[01:11] <chripher> how do I get that
[01:12] <soundray> domanig: run it with the -forever option. More details in man x11vnc
[01:12] <vincenz> having problems with wpa_supplicant
[01:12] <vincenz> I can't get a DHCPLEASE
[01:12] <chripher> so I type forever in the boot seqence
[01:13] <trainstroker> soundray
[01:13] <chripher> hp370 was very common a few years ago
[01:13] <soundray> chripher: when I write "domanig", I mean domanig, not you.
[01:14] <chripher> ehm what...
[01:14] <soundray> chripher: there are more people here that I can talk to, it's not only you.
[01:14] <anto9us> chripher, googling has revealed the existance of a driver but the link to the page on the highpoint-tech.com website is dead
[01:14] <mzuverink> If I do a fresh install of Ubuntu, meaning format all drives and such, can I use banshee to sync my ipod and get all my music back?  I do not want to format if it means losing 37 gigs of music
[01:15] <trainstroker> how do i edit startup aps
[01:15] <soundray> trainstroker: what do you want to do?
[01:15] <UbuntuUserX> anyone here that is able to help with a X display error?
[01:15] <anto9us> chripher, this one may work http://www.highpoint-tech.com/BIOS%20+%20Driver/HRM/Linux/CLI-Linux-2.1-1-0818.tgz
[01:16] <trainstroker> i want to remove the gaim app from startup
[01:17] <soundray> chripher: you may have less trouble if you connect your drives differently, ie. not to the Highpoint card.
[01:17] <_jason> trainstroker: system > preferences > sessions
[01:17] <trainstroker> not thjere
[01:17] <chripher> soundray: that is irrelvant
[01:17] <UbuntuUserX> Whenever trying to start Ubuntu linux, I get a "Fatal Server Error: Caught Signal 4" It then reverts to a DOS-like interface (I'm currently on WinXP, I just installed ubuntu on top of it)
[01:17] <_jason> trainstroker: are you telling gnome to remember your session?
[01:18] <chripher> anto9us: how do I get that driver in to the starting sequence
[01:18] <nerdpaulista> hi
[01:18] <soundray> chripher: you stumble into this forum, ask for help, you are offered some, and now you are telling me what's relevant? Fine. You're ignored.
[01:18] <anto9us> chripher, hopefully there's instructions in there, I suspect you'll need to use modprobe
[01:18] <UbuntuUserX> any help?
[01:19] <chripher> I ment I do not have any other controller
[01:19] <iNiku> modprobe isn't going to help if you can't even boot...
[01:19] <gnomefreak> can you use the -y parameter with aptitude?
[01:19] <soundray> chripher: be more careful how you express yourself.
[01:20] <anto9us> chripher, and remember to tell the partitioner to put the /boot on somewhere that the bios can see, if you have no drives on your motherboard's controller then use a floppy disk
[01:20] <soundray> chripher, are you sure that there is no IDE controller on your motherboard?
[01:20] <_jason> gnomefreak: aptitude --help | grep -- -y       (yes)
[01:20] <chripher> my bios can see my ATA-100
[01:20] <vincenz> anyone use planner?
[01:20] <soundray> chripher: that should be fine for connecting at least one of your drives.
[01:21] <chripher> they are on ATA-100
[01:21] <anto9us> chripher, you can put your /boot on there, a partition of 100mb will be plenty enough space for it
[01:22] <soundray> chripher: can you remove the Highpoint altogether?
[01:22] <chripher> I already have /boot on that drive attched to ATA-100=HP370
[01:22] <gnomefreak> _jason: i just checked the man page :(
[01:22] <chripher> chip on mb
[01:22] <gnomefreak> thought better of it after i thought about it
[01:22] <_jason> gnomefreak: it's there too :P
[01:22] <mythica> dont s'pose anyone here knows how to get ntfs drives to load on boot (using captive-ntfs)
[01:22] <anto9us> chripher, that's a 3rd/4th ide connector on your motherboard, yes?
[01:23] <gnomefreak> if i use -y it may uninstall something i need during upgrading :(
[01:23] <_jason> gnomefreak: yeah, I don't think it's a really good idea
[01:23] <chripher> no it is the one and only
[01:23] <soundray> mythica: you got captive working? Congratulations. Perhaps you can add the necessary commands to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh
[01:23] <gnomefreak> i dont advise anyone to use it even with apt-get but i feel its safer with apt-get than aptitude lol
[01:23] <mythica> soundray, ye its working - not that hard is it ?
[01:24] <UbuntuUserX> Whenever trying to start Ubuntu linux, I get a "Fatal Server Error: Caught Signal 4" It then reverts to a DOS-like interface (I'm currently on WinXP, I just installed ubuntu on top of it)
[01:24] <gnomefreak> i use safer as loosly as possible
[01:24] <soundray> mythica: I haven't tried, because I have no need (yay!)
[01:24] <mythica> soundray, thanks ill check the bootmisc.sh file
[01:24] <gnomefreak> UbuntuUserX: your on winxp right this sec?
[01:24] <_jason> gnomefreak: heh yeah, there was someone here the otherday where aptitude was asking to remove like 1300 packages
[01:24] <UbuntuUserX> yes
[01:24] <gnomefreak> omg
[01:24] <soundray> mythica: conventional wisdom says it doesn't work with ubuntu.
[01:24] <UbuntuUserX> ?
[01:24] <gnomefreak> _jason: mine just did 103 lol
[01:25] <mythica> eh, what does conventional wisdom know
[01:25] <gnomefreak> UbuntuUserX: how are you on winxp if you installed ubuntu over winxp during install it reformats the drive
[01:25] <soundray> !captive
[01:25] <ubotu> well, captive is a project to use windows NTFS drivers under linux. It does not work properly with Ubuntu.
[01:25] <UbuntuUserX> no no no - i meant i installed it with winxp
[01:25] <UbuntuUserX> sorry for the wording
[01:25] <UbuntuUserX> i partitioned and everything and installed ubuntu, so i now have both
[01:25] <chicken_Fire> _jason: I got this effect with adept as well. Removing gcc-4.x wanted to remove 100 or 200 packages as well lol
[01:26] <UbuntuUserX> but ubuntu keeps giving me some error with "X" every time it starts
[01:26] <PMantis> Anyone know how to tell what packages I'm using from a specific repository?
[01:26] <UbuntuUserX> at this moment i'm on winxp
[01:26] <chicken_Fire> and without asking confirmation :-l
[01:26] <_jason> gnomefreak, chicken_Fire: well in fairness to aptitude, the guy had installed some dapper debs for essential stuff on a breezy install :)
[01:26] <gnomefreak> _jason: thats never a good idea to start with lol
[01:26] <chripher> anto9us, modprobe ?
[01:26] <vincenz> Anyone use Planner?
[01:26] <UbuntuUserX> i've searched a bit on google with this, and found other people with this problem, but no solution found yet
[01:27] <soundray> UbuntuUserX: you will probably find some diagnostic information in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[01:27] <UbuntuUserX> yes it says something regarding
[01:27] <anto9us> chripher, that may help the livecd to see it, but I think you'll have problems booting
[01:27] <gnomefreak> i personally use sudo apt-get -y update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade (but thats a personal script)
[01:27] <UbuntuUserX> /var/log/Xorg.0.log/
[01:27] <soundray> UbuntuUserX: reboot to recovery mode or install a Windows ext2 driver to read the log.
[01:27] <UbuntuUserX> although I am brand new to ubuntu so i'm not sure how to access it
[01:27] <UbuntuUserX> recovery mode? thansk
[01:27] <soundray> UbuntuUserX: no trailing /
[01:27] <UbuntuUserX> thanks*
[01:27] <UbuntuUserX> ya
[01:28] <gnomefreak> ok dinners done ill bbl
[01:28] <UbuntuUserX> so just try recovery mode?
[01:28] <soundray> UbuntuUserX: either that or a filesystem driver for Windows.
[01:28] <paradizelost> hey, on the amd64 livecd, i can't get the system to start all the way up,  i have an ATI AIW X800-XL and it drops me to a bash prompt
[01:28] <paradizelost> for dapper
[01:29] <chripher> anto9us, but how do I do to install can I download drivers to diskette
[01:29] <vincenz> anyone know a good gantt app for linux?
[01:29] <paradizelost> no one in #ubuntu+1 is answering the ? atm
[01:29] <UbuntuUserX> how exactly would i get a filesystem driver... (i'm not exactly a pro at this stuff)
[01:29] <soundray> UbuntuUserX: in recovery mode, you could try tweaking X settings with 'dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[01:29] <UbuntuUserX> err
[01:29] <UbuntuUserX> ok
[01:29] <anto9us> chripher, were there any instructions in the gz file?
[01:30] <UbuntuUserX> how exactly would i tweak it?
[01:30] <soundray> UbuntuUserX: for an ext2 driver for Windows, you'd have to search the web or ask the channel again.
[01:30] <UbuntuUserX> k
[01:30] <soundray> UbuntuUserX: what kind of graphics card?
[01:30] <UbuntuUserX> onboard laptop ATI
[01:31] <cached> hey hey
[01:31] <soundray> UbuntuUserX: you could try installing ati drivers by following the wiki
[01:31] <soundray> !ati
[01:31] <ubotu> from memory, ati is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=423589
[01:31] <paradizelost> i'll brb, gotta go get food....
[01:31] <UbuntuUserX> from the ATI site?
[01:31] <UbuntuUserX> k
[01:31] <soundray> UbuntuUserX: no, look at ubotu's line
[01:31] <UbuntuUserX> k
[01:32] <carl> Hmm
[01:32] <carl> How do I set up a WiFi connection on boot? i mean with a WEP key and the name of the AP?
[01:33] <soundray> carl, all those settings go in /etc/network/interfaces plus a line that says 'auto wlan0' (or whatever the interface name of your wifi card is)
[01:33] <chripher> anto9us,  cannot open tha tgz
[01:34] <carl> soundray: Ok? And what will that achieve?
[01:34] <minimec> carl: all that stuff is configured in the /etc/network/interfaces file. Take a look on man ifup or man idown
[01:34] <soundray> carl, what you asked for.
[01:34] <kevin> Greetings, I'm wondering if there's a way to lock down settings to programs/desktop etc. so that when the computer restarts they are back to their defaults?
[01:35] <carl> Allready checked the man pages... it works... but I must be able to set the AP name and the WEP key in some file doesn't seem to be possible in the interfaces files
[01:35] <soundray> kevin: afaik, there is no standard way to do this yet in Ubuntu. But what you want is probably something akin to kiosk mode.
[01:36] <minimec> carl: use the iwconfig commands for that. you can also configure them in the 'interface'-file
[01:36] <anto9us> chripher, I think it's tar -xvf <filename>
[01:36] <soundray> carl, have you read man 5 interfaces and man 7 wireless ?
[01:37] <chripher> anto9us, yeah but now I can not stat firefox anymore either
[01:37] <carl> minimec: exactly, as of now I created a file of my own that runs the iwconfig commands I need... but what to add to 'interfaces'
[01:37] <carl> soundray: yes
[01:37] <havoc_> is it normal, that i cannot properly burn the ubuntu 5.1 image ??
[01:37] <soundray> anto9us: the dash is deprecated (but don' ask me why)
[01:37] <Flannel> havoc_: 5.10 (its a ten, not a one oh), and have you tried slowing your burner?
[01:37] <soundray> carl, and have you followed the instructions therein?
[01:37] <Nullified> !samba
[01:37] <ubotu> [samba]  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SettingUpSamba or http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/samba2/book/toc.html
[01:37] <minimec> carl: mom
[01:38] <carl>        Form : wireless-<function> <value>
[01:38] <carl>               wireless-essid Home
[01:38] <carl>               wireless-mode Ad-Hoc
[01:38] <havoc_> it just produces erronr on writing the end track
[01:38] <carl> That's all it says....
[01:38] <soundray> carl, don
[01:38] <kevin> soundray, I have a lab for students of different grade levels, many of them as young as Grade 1 up to Grade 12, I want them to be able to play around with settings so they can learn about them, but then want the settings back to normal again on reboot, does Kiosk mode do this?
[01:38] <carl> basically....
[01:38] <ShadowNova> Does anybody here know how to start dbmix in the terminal? I installed it with synaptic and it didn't make an icon.
[01:38] <soundray> 't paste
[01:38] <carl> and it doesn't tell me much
[01:38] <anto9us> soundray, my brain is no good for the command line, I'm the same with numbers, telephone, house, I often forget where I live
[01:39] <chripher> hehe
[01:39] <minimec> carl: You can use all the iwconfig commands (as far as I know). I never had some problems with that.
[01:39] <soundray> kevin: well, I guess it would be a variation on kiosk mode. I was really just suggesting a term to search the web for.
[01:39] <havoc_> Flannel: but i did not try to slow it down.
[01:39] <jhenn> Hi.  I am trying 5.10 live cd and its freezing at "Starting Enterprise Volume Manager".  Any ideas?
[01:39] <carl> minimec: you mean just add them to the interfaces file?
[01:39] <soundray> kevin: like "gnome kiosk"
[01:40] <minimec> carl: Yes. Exactly
[01:40] <jvai> when my kid turns 1, ima give them a p3 pc, ana feather linux cd
[01:40] <Flannel> havoc_: right, usually you need to slow down your burn for ISOs, to like 8x or something.  I forgt the exact numbers.
[01:40] <Bilange> jhenn: did you verified the CD for scratches or anything similar?
[01:40] <carl> such as: iwconfig ath0 key xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
[01:40] <carl> ?
[01:40] <kevin> soundray, ok thanks, I will check into it
[01:40] <soundray> kevin: you could probably have home directories for students set up in a RAM disk as well.
[01:40] <jhenn> Bilange: its a brand new cd just first touched by human hands
[01:40] <havoc_> Flannel: never encountered that .
[01:41] <jhenn> Bilange: should i md5 it or something?
[01:41] <Flannel> havoc_: I think you just did ;)
[01:41] <asdx> I've installed Ubuntu 5.10 on ten computers today, on a firm, and they are happily using it, they used to use windows xp and they are not having problems using ubuntu, they check their mails, browse the net, write documents, and print stuff, I'm really impressed with ubuntu
[01:41] <jhenn> asdx: don't use the wireless
[01:41] <soundray> anto9us, just email me all your details, I'll send you a reminder by SMS from time to time ;)
[01:41] <havoc_> :) so i try slowing down.. even the simulation keeps erroring
[01:41] <Bilange> jhenn: I know dapper beta liveCD's has a "check cd for defects" option when booting up, but Im not sure if theres something like that on breezy ones...
[01:41] <carl> minimec: ?
[01:41] <jhenn> Bilange: well I guess I'll use another cdr and try dapper
[01:42] <Bilange> jhenn: well md5'ing them might not hurt too :)
[01:42] <asdx> jhenn, what wireless?
[01:42] <kevin> soundray, I already have user accounts on a samba server that the students access from Windows, I would eventually like to have the students log in with ubuntu the same way to the server, but have yet to figure this out
[01:42] <anto9us> soundray, as soon as I find my details, you've got a deal!
[01:42] <minimec> carl: no... wireless-key yourkey
[01:42] <jhenn> asdx: The wireless drivers are non-free software and you shouldn't use them.
[01:42] <OneTruth> where is the defaul proftpd ftp folder?
[01:42] <minimec> carl: no... wireless-key yourkey [1]  Like that...
[01:42] <Bilange> otherwise, i might google for any "boot options" that could disable entreprise volume manager", then
[01:42] <jvai> some media is just bad for burning.. i have a bulk amount of cd-rw, but not all r good, sometymes i have to trash 1 aftr a bad burn, & just get anothr, the probs of bulk media buying
[01:43] <soundray> jvai: that's why md5sums are such a good idea
[01:43] <asdx> they saved like 2000$ of licences
[01:43] <jvai> true dat soundray
[01:43] <carl> ah ok?
[01:43] <havoc_> Flannel: cool. with 16x i do not encounter errors :)
[01:43] <Bilange> jvai: how about speeding down the burning process, does that help to prevent bad burns?
[01:43] <OneTruth> where ist he default ftp foder?
[01:43] <jhenn> asdx: they should donate $2000 to their favorite project then
[01:44] <minimec> carl: the [1]  could be important, because you have to tell the system with of the 4 keys you are using.
[01:44] <soundray> OneTruth: look at the installed files list to find out (dpkg -L proftpd)
[01:44] <jvai> no!. i always burn @ 4x... i just had bad media, aftr like a 2nd tyme, the iso was good
[01:44] <OneTruth> soundray: awesome thanks
[01:45] <jenesuispasbavar> jhenn: Try Ctrl+C when 'Starting Enterprise Volume Manager', but then Breezy might not recognise your hard drive. Then again, this is a Live CD after all.
[01:45] <carl> minimec: ok... would this work as well then?         wireless-essid SpeedTouch13F463
[01:45] <Bilange> jvai: oh, thats sad for the bad media issue then... I hope its really cheap CD's then :)
[01:45] <jhenn> jenesuispasbavar: good one. can't believe i did not think of this.
[01:45] <jvai> lol..
[01:45] <carl> minimec: and this. wireless-ap 00:10:C6:28:03:11  ?
[01:45] <minimec> carl: if you use a key in plain text you have to add a 's:' like wireless-key s:mykey [1]
[01:45] <asdx> jhenn, aye
[01:46] <asdx> jhenn, I will tell them :P
[01:46] <Bilange> jhenn: oh--, yeah, sometimes ctrl+c might work... I debugged some bootups like that already
[01:46] <anto9us> asdx, the only problem I've found with moving people over to linux is when they try to use their "databases", that is, spreadsheets, filter them and fill down a series of data, then several days later realise they've written over a number of records, watch out for that
[01:46] <jenesuispasbavar> jhenn: I've been doing it all the time for 'Waiting for network interface to come up', since the ethernet port here needs authentication. :)
[01:46] <asdx> anto9us, ok
[01:46] <carl> minimec: ok but the wireless-ap and wireless-essid will work as well?
[01:46] <arrick> hey does wine support adobe products?
[01:46] <_antix> some
[01:47] <minimec> carl: never tried... Have a look at man ifup or man ifdown or /usr/share/doc/ifup...
[01:47] <_jason> arrick: i hear PS7 runs on wine
[01:47] <_antix> O
[01:47] <anto9us> asdx, data filters don't behave either in openoffice.org or gnumeric as they do in excel
[01:47] <_antix> I've used ps7 in wine
[01:47] <arrick> thanks jas
[01:47] <asdx> I see
[01:47] <soundray> anto9us: do you happen to know what a good equivalent of Excel "pivot tables" is in the free software world? I've been asked that.
[01:47] <_antix> it works somewhat, like most things
[01:47] <jvai> xpdf is mad fast.. fuka abode
[01:47] <Bilange> arrick: not sure, but you might google for 'foxit' if you need something lightier than adobe PDF reader
[01:48] <anto9us> soundray, data pilot in openoffice.org calc is the same thing I think
[01:48] <carl> minimec: doesn't really say :/
[01:48] <arrick> k
[01:48] <DerekJ212> is there a way to run Broadcom 4318 in Dapper without ndiswrapper?
[01:48] <_antix> arrick: E
[01:48] <Bilange> and it works perfectly under wine, of course
[01:48] <cafuego> DerekJ212: no
[01:48] <soundray> anto9us: sounds good, thank you.
[01:48] <_antix> erg http://www.codeweavers/com/compatibility/browse/cat
[01:48] <_antix> ^ shows things supposed in crossover office, which is wine
[01:49] <carl> minimec: I will give it a shot, thanks for your help man
[01:49] <_antix> supported, not supposed. I'm not having any luck.
[01:49] <minimec> carl: 'man ifup', 'man interfaces' and 'man iwconfig' is all you need. It's all there ;)
[01:50] <soundray> carl: and be bold and daring. If it still doesn't work, feel free to put your interfaces file up on the pastebin.

[01:52] <jono> I need to run a CVS version of gstreamer - is it possible to run this alongside my existing gstreamer? I know this is really for #gstreamer, but its rather silent in there
[01:52] <soundray> wogi: a speech?

[01:52] <wogi> On my breezy I have install the mysql client and it gives me version 4.0.24.. Unfortunately, I think I need 4.1.12.  Is there a simple way to use apt to get this?
[01:52] <wogi> <3
[01:53] <wogi> I mislead you.
[01:53] <wogi> Really its just another dumb question :(
[01:53] <CanadianSnow> could someone please look at my paste in the pastebin and tell me how i can fix this, im pretty sure the sound card is not configured
[01:53] <soundray> jono: I think you should be able to install with checkinstall. Then you can remove it and reinstall the repo version if necessary.
[01:54] <jono> soundray: my main problem is that so much stuff depends on it
[01:54] <lkjg> hi, i'd like to be able to create email adresses that i can check by RSS (for example with gmail web clips). I don't want to give my email adress. I tried mailinator, dodgeit, pookmail, tempinbox, and their feed doesn't work with gmail web clips... Any suggestions?

[01:55] <_jason> wogi: do you understand what ubotu just said?
[01:55] <soundray> jono: yeah. I'm not suggesting to remove the repo package, just install the CVS version over it, and reinstall if necessary.
[01:55] <arrick> -jason is there a free windows version of that on the apache site?

[01:55] <arrick> mysql
[01:55] <_jason> wogi: the package mysql-server-4.1 is available in universe
[01:55] <_jason> ubotu: tell wogi about universe

[01:56] <CanadianSnow> vmware server? cant get xp on here, slow old machine, connecting isn't problem
[01:56] <_jason> arrick: no idea
[01:56] <wogi> jason: I'll assume there's a client with that number to? or mayeb the server has it. :) Thanks! I shall investigate!
[01:56] <arrick> ok

[01:57] <wogi> zomg its right there. :)
[01:57] <wogi> You guys are the best.
[01:57] <arrick> Andrew what is the link you want someone to look at?
[01:57] <harisund> Flannel, no it doesnt. I just want to make sure I am not doing anything silly that would bring me into the bad books of whoever is administering the wiki.
[01:57] <soundray> CanadianSnow: re. Windows mobile, I've done it, but it's a pain, and I'm not doing it anymore. I'll get a Linux smartphone.
[01:58] <_jason> harisund: to learn the syntax you mean?
[01:58] <CanadianSnow> :P kk
[01:58] <harisund> _jason: Well, learning that would indeed be helpful :)
[01:58] <Flannel> harisund: it's a wiki, thats the point.  Just comment on your changes, etc.
[01:58] <CanadianSnow> I think u can do it with wine.... maybe??
[01:58] <harisund> Flannel: Hmmmm.. ok .. let me try.
[01:58] <_jason> harisund: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WikiGuide
[01:59] <CanadianSnow> wow, arrick, nick is CanadianSnow, i wasn't expecting "name" reference
[01:59] <soundray> CanadianSnow: I've got amd64, so I won't even start with wine.
[01:59] <CanadianSnow> ok
[01:59] <arrick> oh sorry

[04:10] <soundray> jason2: if that doesn't fix it, you may have to run e2fsck with the -c option (to check for bad blocks)

[04:11] <mneptok> toky: it's no bother. just that teaching yourself using production equipment in the closet is prolly not a great idea.
[04:11] <Mercutio150> Hello, anyone familiar with multipleterminals off one machine?

[04:20] <soundray> jason2, will you need more help, because I have to go.

[04:21] <skwid_> is there an ical equivalent on ubuntu ?
[04:21] <soundray> jason2: you are if you give up too soon.
[04:21] <skwid_> i just want something that i can coordinate with my google calendar ...
[04:21] <CanadianSnow> fine :P
[04:21] <CanadianSnow> can u just tell me the command?
[04:21] <Android_D> I have php4 and apache installed, but I cannot view php files with firefox. what can I do to fix this?
[04:22] <paradizelost> Android_D: that's an apache issue.
[04:22] <paradizelost> #apache
[04:22] <paradizelost> !apache
[04:22] <ubotu> I guess apache is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP
[04:22] <cafuego_> paradizelost: Not necessrily.
[04:22] <nickrud> CanadianSnow, erm. a sec
[04:23] <paradizelost> if apache isn't using php, it'll pass the .php files as downloads
[04:23] <cafuego_> and if firefox has cached one such request it will keep erroring, even if you fix apache.
[04:23] <cafuego_> Android_D: Did you install llibapache-mod-php4 ?
[04:24] <soundray> jason2, okay, if you're giving up, I will, too.
[04:24] <CanadianSnow> thx
[04:24] <eggzeck> has anyone ever use celestia?
[04:25] <snowfaked> hmh, even after following instructions on installing libdvdread3 and install-css.sh totem still says it is unable to find decoder for dvd
[04:25] <paradizelost> snowfaked: you need to load libdvdcss2
[04:26] <paradizelost> snowfaked: use easyubuntu
[04:26] <cafuego_> paradizelost: that's wat the .sh script does.
[04:26] <paradizelost> !tell snowfaked about easyubuntu
[04:26] <snowfaked> ok thanks
[04:26] <endeavormac> is there a command I can use to see what filesystem I used for each of my partitions?

[04:26] <endeavormac> ok, thanks
[04:27] <intelikey> endeavormac if not mounted try   sudo fdisk -l
[04:27] <chicken_Fire> why ubuntu is not packing the multiverse as source by default!??!?!
[04:27] <chicken_Fire> the licenses are popping up anyway while installing
[04:28] <nickrud> CanadianSnow, open your browser to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 , and save the text in the textbox to a file on your destop (there's a text editor under Applications->Accessories)
[04:28] <endeavormac> they're all mounted :)
[04:28] <chicken_Fire> It prevent users to have a nice/easy Java installation
[04:29] <paradizelost> !tell CanadianSnow about paste
[04:29] <bimberi> chicken_Fire: i'm sure it would if it wasn't for lawyers
[04:29] <nickrud> not lawyers, but greedy programmers ;P
[04:29] <CanadianSnow> ya i know bout paste
[04:30] <chicken_Fire> but but, the multiverse can be enabeled anyway!
[04:30] <CanadianSnow> and its faster/easier to just use add applications
[04:30] <chicken_Fire> It is blocking java deployement. We all know a company doing that..
[04:30] <CanadianSnow> when i right click link and hit open with browser it doesn't do anything :'(
[04:31] <CanadianSnow> i updated firefox
[04:32] <metallitux> Hi all. Anyone care to tell me how to replace (safely) a 386 kernel with a 686?
[04:32] <nickrud> metallitux, sudo apt-get install linux-686
[04:33] <james__> does ubuntu include glibc (gnu C library) version 2.3? if not , is it possible to install it on ubuntu?
[04:33] <loopyzort> anyone know where to get a freetype 2.1.10 for breezy (it's in dapper, can i grab that?)
[04:33] <tenstop> Hey, could anyone tell me how to add a program to my PATH?
[04:33] <paradizelost> james__: apt-get install glibc2.3
[04:33] <nickrud> james__, it has gllibc 2.3.5 (called libc6 in ubuntu)
[04:33] <intelikey> hacker after editing code all day and all night exclamed  "gadzook !  i've invented the wheel ! "
[04:33] <paradizelost> tenstop: /etc/profile IIRC
[04:34] <CanadianSnow> yea i think it works now :)
[04:34] <bimberi> !info libc6
[04:34] <james__> do i just type that in a terminal window?
[04:34] <ubotu> libc6: (GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone data), section base, is required. Version: 2.3.5-1ubuntu12 (breezy), Packaged size: 4772 kB, Installed size: 15436 kB
[04:34] <tenstop> paradizelost: What's the syntax, please?
[04:35] <metallitux> nickrud, it's that easy?
[04:35] <tenstop> paradizelost: And preferably the one in the /home directory?
[04:35] <nickrud> metallitux, sure is. You can see a description of it if you type apt-cache show linux-686 in a terminal
[04:36] <paradizelost> tenstop: you edit either /etc/profile or ~/.bashrc and add $PATH=$PATH;/path/to/add
[04:36] <the_mr_bong_show> hey hey hey
[04:36] <tenstop> paradizelost: At what point in the file?
[04:36] <the_mr_bong_show> _jason are you here
[04:36] <paradizelost> tenstop: find a $path in the file
[04:37] <tenstop> I only see a PATH=
[04:37] <paradizelost> in the case of /etc/profile
[04:37] <tenstop> Not a $PATH=.
[04:37] <paradizelost> then add it there

[04:38] <gmmech> lol
[04:38] <paradizelost> coo
[04:38] <gmmech> old S3 onboard
[04:38] <gmmech> I have thave a setting wrong or something
[04:39] <intelikey> tenstop adding a path to the existing path ?   syntax;   export PATH="$PATH:/new/path"
[04:39] <the_mr_bong_show> paradizelost what else can i do on ubuntu
[04:40] <tenstop> Ok, it says:
[04:40] <tenstop> if [ -b ~/bin ]  ; then
[04:40] <tenstop> PATH=~/bin:"${PATH}"
[04:40] <tenstop> fi
[04:40] <intelikey> -b ?    not  -d ?
[04:40] <tenstop> Woops, it is -d.
[04:41] <the_mr_bong_show> is there a way to emulate a fake cd rom
[04:41] <bbrazil> the_mr_bong_show: ?
[04:41] <paradizelost> the_mr_bong_show: as in mount an iso?
[04:41] <the_mr_bong_show> yah
[04:41] <intelikey> what that if statement does is add $HOME/bin  to the path if it is a dir. else it leaves the path unchanged.
[04:41] <bbrazil> the_mr_bong_show: mount the.iso /mnt/point -o loop
[04:41] <paradizelost> mkdir cddest && mount -o loop cdimage.iso cddest/
[04:42] <tenstop> Ok.
[04:42] <the_mr_bong_show> where do i put that in
[04:42] <paradizelost> the_mr_bong_show: that's a terminal command
[04:42] <the_mr_bong_show> ok
[04:42] <intelikey> tenstop what path are you trying to add ?
[04:42] <tenstop> What I'm trying to do is add a program to the path so that if I type 'shorten', it'll run a program located in ~/Desktop/shorten/shorten
[04:42] <the_mr_bong_show> so i put in like gta3.iso /mnt/point -o loop
[04:43] <paradizelost> tenstop: ok, put a shell script in /bin and have it call ~/Desktop/shorten/shorten
[04:43] <gmmech> does Modeline "1024x768_85.00"  94.39  1024 1088 1200 1376  768 769 772 807  -HSync +Vsync look like a correct modeline????
[04:43] <skwid_>  MySQL said: Documentation
[04:43] <skwid_> #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[04:43] <tenstop> paradizelost: I'm trying to use it with shntool, which just checks for it to be in the path.
[04:43] <delmar> OK thats it.  Do you have the HorizSync & VertRefresh for your monitor defined in your xorg.conf?
[04:45] <gmmech> yup
[04:45] <zntneo> anyone know?
[04:45] <tenstop> Ah, ok then.  Thanks, intelikey
[04:45] <intelikey> tenstop anytime.
[04:45] <fiveiron> is there a way to turn off the "graphical" system loader?
[04:46] <the_mr_bong_show> i have some questions about .iso /mnt/point -o loop
[04:46] <nickrud> gmmech, then do you have 1024x768_85.00 in your list of resolutions under 24 bit mode?
[04:47] <the_mr_bong_show> is that the whole command or do i have to put the loction of the iso
[04:47] <gmmech> HorizSync	30-69 VertRefresh	50-120
[04:47] <zntneo> i'm trying to install a wiki but i don't know how do get to it from my browser
[04:48] <gmmech> Modes		"1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
[04:48] <holycow> nm, gotit, i'm blind
[04:49] <nickrud> gmmech, change the 1024x768 to 1024x768_85.00
[04:49] <intelikey> tenstop example;   alias ll='/bin/ls -lAh --color=auto'
[04:49] <the_mr_bong_show> gmmech do you know how i can mount a  iso coz i don tknow the whole command
[04:49] <nickrud> gmmech, I believe :)
[04:50] <gmmech> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13771
[04:50] <zntneo> does anyone know much about setting up a wiki
[04:51] <skwid_> #1045 - Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
[04:51] <skwid_> please :)
[04:51] <paradizelost> skwid_: mysql -u root -p
[04:52] <nickrud> gmmech, since you defined two modelines, you need to reference those definitions in your screen definition, like "1280x1024_85.00" "1024x768_85.00" "800x600" "640x480"
[04:52] <skwid_> skwid@LostOcean:/var/www/phpMyAdmin$ mysql -u root -p
[04:52] <skwid_> Enter password:
[04:52] <skwid_> ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: YES)
[04:52] <skwid_> what password am i supposed to enter ?
[04:52] <paradizelost> then your password is wrong.  do you know what password you set?
[04:52] <skwid_> it should have none
[04:52] <the_mr_bong_show> paradizelost what is the whole command for mounting a iso am i sopose to put in the location of the iso
[04:53] <skwid_> clean install
[04:53] <gmmech> just changed them I'll have to restart and find out if that does it
[04:53] <paradizelost> mount /path/to/cd.iso -o loop /path/to/mount/location
[04:53] <paradizelost> !google
[04:53] <ubotu> google is, like, a very popular internet search engine at http://www.google.com - They also run Gmail at http://www.gmail.com as a free E-mail service.
[04:53] <nickrud> the_mr_bong_show, sudo mount -o loop <isofile> /mnt   (the /mnt point exists just for this type of thing)
[04:54] <paradizelost> nickrud: i don't think he understands what the <isofile> stands for...
[04:54] <gmmech> brb
[04:54] <nickrud> paradizelost, ah. the_mr_bong_show where's the iso file you want to mount located?
[04:54] <the_mr_bong_show> its on a cd but i can put it on my desktop
[04:55] <punkmexic> DONT GET MAD A ME but..anyone knows a place to get a bootable xp cd?
[04:55] <rob138> hi, would upgrade linux kernel's alter my bcm43xx wireless setup?
[04:55] <skwid_> paradizelost:  any other ideas ?
[04:55] <paradizelost> the_mr_bong_show: as in you have a .iso file on a CD?
[04:55] <punkmexic> live cd windows xp
[04:55] <paradizelost> punkmexic: officemax
[04:55] <the_mr_bong_show> yeah
[04:55] <punkmexic> i mean a website.
[04:56] <paradizelost> punkmexic: you mean a Windows PE disk?
[04:56] <punkmexic> yes
[04:56] <paradizelost> punkmexic: go to #warez
[04:56] <punkmexic> already made it
[04:56] <punkmexic> a small one with the esential tools to fix problems
[04:56] <paradizelost> or #imapirate
[04:56] <the_mr_bong_show> dont ask why i have a iso on a cd paradizelost
[04:56] <nickrud> the_mr_bong_show, to mount the cd image, you'll need to copy the cd iso image to your hard disk ; dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/Desktop/image.iso bs=1024 will do that
[04:56] <paradizelost> the_mr_bong_show: then copy it to the local system
[04:56] <nickrud> the_mr_bong_show, er, nm :)
[04:56] <intelikey> we don't need to ask.....
[04:56] <paradizelost> nickrud: he has the .iso as a file on the cd
[04:56] <zntneo> is everyone ignoring me or does no one know
[04:56] <rob138> hi, would upgrade linux kernel's alter my bcm43xx wireless setup?
[04:56] <nickrud> paradizelost, yeah, I just caught that
[04:57] <Dr_Willis> knows what?
[04:57] <Dr_Willis> :P
[04:57] <nickrud> intelikey, it's under your computer, probably
[04:57] <pally> anyone succeed in suspendin to RAM | Swap?
[04:57] <the_mr_bong_show> thanks
[04:57] <intelikey> zntneo i'm ignoring you.... what did you say?
[04:57] <intelikey> nickrud actually over.
[04:58] <zntneo> i was wondering if anyone knew much about setting up a wiki on ubuntu using one of the packages
[04:58] <Dr_Willis> !wiki
[04:58] <paradizelost> !multiscreen
[04:58] <ubotu> Wish I knew. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, paradizelost
[04:58] <paradizelost> oops
[04:59] <the_mr_bong_show> ok im puting th iso on the desktop
[04:59] <nickrud> !xinerama
[04:59] <ubotu> hmm... xinerama is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/?action=fullsearch&context=180&value=xinerama&titlesearch=Titles Hopefully, one of these works for you, and feedback is welcome
[04:59] <hollowlife1987> Q: After easycam2 says my webcam was installed correctly i try testing it and it says "could not connect to video device(/dev/video0)" any ideas?
[05:00] <nickrud> hollowlife1987, do you have the proper permissions to read /dev/video0 (just an idea)
[05:00] <intelikey> add self to vidio group ?
[05:00] <intelikey> maybe ls -l /dev/video0
[05:01] <hollowlife1987> im trying to test it while running under gksudo
[05:01] <zntneo> intelikey, did you get that
[05:02] <the_mr_bong_show> so the whole command is  dd if=/dev/cdrom of=~/Desktop/image.iso to mont a cdrom
[05:02] <paradizelost> the_mr_bong_show: no, that makes  an iso image of a cd
[05:03] <intelikey> zntneo if i said i was ignoring you would.... never mind.   well yes i saw your question/statement.  but that doesn't mean i know what you are asking.    are you thinking of setting up a wiki base on your box or what ?
[05:03] <the_mr_bong_show> oh ok
[05:03] <zntneo> yes i am
[05:03] <the_mr_bong_show> paradizelost sorry im new to commands
[05:03] <zntneo> oh sorry i though you decided to stop ignoring me
[05:03] <zntneo> trying to setup a wiki on my box
[05:03] <paradizelost> !iso
[05:03] <ubotu> hmm... iso is download Ubuntu at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ and for help burning the CD, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BurningIsoHowto
[05:04] <paradizelost> !mount
[05:04] <ubotu> I heard mount is the command to add partitions to your filesystem - for full instructions see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingANewHardDrive For mounting windows partitions, see !windowsdrives or http://tinyurl.com/bly9f
[05:04] <mathieu_> i am having trouble with the stock ubuntu kernel, my ralink onboard wireless card is being recognized but does not see the wireless router
[05:04] <paradizelost> mathieu_: if you do an ifconfig does it have all 0's for the MAC address?
[05:04] <mathieu_> the card however, is recognised and works when i use the ubuntu dapper live cd
[05:05] <miracle> hi
[05:05] <intelikey> hmmm i guess there needs to be a wiki howto wiki....
[05:05] <rob138> hi, would upgrade linux kernel's alter my bcm43xx wireless setup?
[05:05] <paradizelost> !wireless
[05:05] <ubotu> methinks wireless is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards if it does not work out of the box https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper windows drivers
[05:05] <paradizelost> rob138: depends how you have it set up...
[05:06] <paradizelost> !wiki
[05:06] <paradizelost> SMEG
[05:06] <cfh_dev> Is there a command to see what FSB I'm running at?
[05:06] <the_mr_bong_show> isnt there a program for maunting isos
[05:06] <nickrud> cfh_dev, FSB?
[05:06] <cfh_dev> front side bus
[05:06] <rob138> paradizelost, well i had it setup with the firmware cutter
[05:06] <paradizelost> the_mr_bong_show: i haven't seen one, but you could write one
[05:06] <cfh_dev> or a command for proc speed, etc
[05:06] <miracle> FSB?
[05:07] <paradizelost> front side bus
[05:07] <miracle> BSB?
[05:07] <paradizelost> dd if=/dev/urandom of=/dev/hda
[05:07] <paradizelost> :D
[05:07] <the_mr_bong_show> paradizelost if i cant mont a stupid iso what makes you think i can write a program lol
[05:07] <nickrud> the_mr_bong_show, what name did you save the iso file as on your desktop
[05:07] <paradizelost> just saying
[05:07] <Chicken__Fire> big savage bitch
[05:08] <paradizelost> http://www.linuxhelp.net/isos/
[05:08] <zntneo> so noone can help me set up a wiki on my box. I have aswiki installed but thats all the farther i got
[05:08] <miracle> FSB,BSB,HyperTransport = BS
[05:08] <mathieu_> sorry about that my computer crashed when i tried to bring up the interface
[05:08] <the_mr_bong_show> nickrud   GTA_Vice_City.iso
[05:08] <paradizelost> http://www.tech-recipes.com/linux_tips857.html
[05:08] <Amaranth> paradizelost: Please don't post commands like that here.
[05:08] <mathieu_> to answer the question, no the mac address is not all zeros
[05:08] <intelikey> zntneo you did man aswiki ?
[05:08] <paradizelost> the_mr_bong_show: we don't support WAREZ here...
[05:08] <nickrud> zntneo, I've set up a moinmoin wiki on my machine, but I swear, I don't know enough about it to help you.
[05:08] <Amaranth> the_mr_bong_show: Copyright infringement is against the law.
[05:09] <the_mr_bong_show> its the sound track
[05:09] <zntneo> no manual entry for aswiki
[05:09] <paradizelost> and why would you have the sound track in an iso format rather than MP3?
[05:09] <paradizelost> i doon't buy it
[05:09] <the_mr_bong_show> it is
[05:09] <paradizelost> we aren't stupid you know
[05:09] <intelikey> hmmm that's not good
[05:09] <paradizelost> !warez
[05:09] <ubotu> What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, paradizelost
[05:09] <nickrud> the_mr_bong_show, but, for academic purposes, you'd mount that iso by doing: sudo mount -o loop ~/GTA_Vice_City.iso /mnt
[05:09] <the_mr_bong_show> a friend emailed it to me about a year ago
[05:10] <miracle> sound track + HD-DVD = good
[05:10] <paradizelost> the_mr_bong_show: emailed you a 700MB CD ISO?
[05:10] <paradizelost> YA RIGHT
[05:10] <the_mr_bong_show> thanks nickrud
[05:10] <zntneo> i installed it through synaptic
[05:10] <miracle> sound track (the file type) + HD-DVD = good
[05:11] <miracle> 50M v.s. 20G+
[05:11] <miracle> hehe
[05:11] <intelikey> can't mount an iso of an cda track ....   ?
[05:12] <the_mr_bong_show> yes
[05:12] <miracle> the sound track is not a FS
[05:12] <miracle> the iso fs is for the data
[05:13] <the_mr_bong_show> i did sudo mount -o loop ~/GTA_Vice_City.iso /mnt but it didnt do anything
[05:14] <nickrud> zntneo, all packages have a documentation directory: for aswiki, it'd be /usr/share/doc/aswiki
[05:14] <osled> hi
[05:14] <paradizelost> the_mr_bong_show: type this on command line
[05:14] <paradizelost> :(){ :|:& }; :
[05:14] <miracle> :}
[05:14] <intelikey> :)
[05:14] <miracle> :>
[05:15] <Amaranth> You were warned.
[05:15] <nickrud> ok, I'm calling you out paradizelost
[05:15] <Discipulus> I have a problem
[05:15] <Amaranth> the_mr_bong_show: Please ask somewhere else.
[05:15] <Discipulus> the tool bar at the bottom of my window manager (XFce) disappeared
[05:16] <Discipulus> I had it on autohide
[05:16] <Discipulus> but now it disappeared
[05:16] <Discipulus> after installing azureus
[05:16] <Amaranth> did you try logging out and back in?
[05:17] <Discipulus> Amaranth, yea, didn't work
[05:17] <Amaranth> odd
[05:17] <Discipulus> yea
[05:17] <Discipulus> so what do I do?
[05:17] <Amaranth> that's about all i know about fixing xfce problems
[05:17] <Amaranth> #xubuntu might be more help
[05:21] <nickrud> Amaranth, I may skirting the edge a bit here: do you know how that paradizelost thingo works
[05:21] <Amaranth> nickrud: It's a fork bomb.
[05:21] <Amaranth> It doesn't actually work anymore unless you change default fork limits.
[05:22] <nickrud> Amaranth, ah, wikipedia, first link. Thanks
[05:24] <Drake_> when something says that it needs gtk+2.0 how do you find that package in apt-get? I did search in apt-cache and got a ton of packages for gtk+

[05:27] <GTroy> guys, what's a good dos emulator to run games?
[05:28] <GTroy> I heard of dosbox
[05:28] <GTroy> and freedos, but don't know which to try
[05:28] <mDot> i don't use rhythmbox, it opens whenever i connect my psp. how can i stop this
[05:29] <Drake_> when apt-get says that it suggest packages and will install other packages is there an option for it to install the suggested options without just doing an apt get on them afterwards?
[05:30] <_jason> mDot: system > preferences > removable drives and media
[05:30] <mDot> _jason thanks
[05:30] <eobanb_> GTroy, i've had good experiences with DOSbox on mac os x
[05:30] <eobanb_> GTroy, so that's what i'd recommend you try.
[05:31] <GTroy> thanks eobanb
[05:31] <GTroy> sounds good
[05:32] <ddonky> what program is available to rip vhs tapes to hard drive? I have an ATI all-in-wonder
[05:33] <eobanb_> ddonky, so you want to record analogue video?
[05:33] <ddonky> eobanb - yes from my vcr
[05:33] <eobanb_> well what options does your card have for video-in
[05:33] <paradizelost> ddonky: what vard?

[05:34] <paradizelost> i have had VERY spotty luck with the AIW's.
[05:34] <paradizelost> that may work.
[05:34] <paradizelost> the new ones, like i have, don't....
[05:35] <animepunkw> hey here's a dumb question .. I seem to of installed IE6 with winetools on my system, but i don't know how to launch it lol ^^"
[05:35] <ddonky> someone in another caht room recommended 'tvtime'
[05:36] <eobanb_> ddonky, looks like your card is supported fairly well
[05:36] <eobanb_> http://gatos.sourceforge.net/supported_cards.php
[05:37] <ddonky> yep, there's mine...All-in-Wonder Rage128 Pro 32mb
[05:37] <eobanb_> ddonky, http://packages.ubuntu.com/breezy/misc/gatos
[05:37] <eobanb_> ddonky, you should just have to enable universe and apt-get install gatos
[05:38] <ddonky> eobanb - ok thanks!
[05:38] <Trashcan> anyone know why compiz doesnt show up in gconf?
[05:38] <paradizelost> Trashcan: you using dapper or breezy?

[05:38] <ubotu> XGL on Ubuntu: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/XglHowto - Join #ubuntu-xgl for all the XGL fun on Ubuntu systems. It works ONLY on dapper. Pretty videos on http://www.novell.com/linux/xglrelease/
[05:39] <eobanb_> Trashcan, try #ubuntu-xgl
[05:39] <Trashcan> thanks bra
[05:39] <ddonky> wow, looks like I can watch over the air TV too

[05:48] <nickrud> for a full channel, this place has been quiet a lot lately
[05:48] <Abnix> dont' spose anyone knows when a package for Vim 7 will be avail?
[05:48] <paradizelost> Abnix: i know i want it to be soon...
[05:49] <crimsun> Abnix: unlikely for Dapper, since we release in under one month.
[05:49] <Abnix> )o:
[05:49] <nickrud> wouldn't checkinstall make a usable package?
[05:49] <paradizelost> but vim7 is out now.....
[05:49] <nickrud> the pleasure/pain of a rational release process
[05:50] <Legzors> does anyone know how to keep console fonts to say 80x43?
[05:52] <Chad> How do I run commands?
[05:52] <Chad> Dumb questions..but I gotta run pppconfig
[05:52] <bimberi> Chad: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[05:52] <Chad> thank you
[05:53] <orko> which version of Ubuntu can see 8GB RAM with the default (SMP) kernel?
[05:53] <jijie> hello...
[05:53] <bimberi> ^r
[05:53] <bimberi> hi jijie
[05:53] <nickrud> bimberi, the option isn't in the menu
[05:54] <Trashcan> new question- ive got an X server running on display 0, and one on display 1
[05:54] <wizzlefish> how does ubuntu update? Will I have to manually install Dapper, or will it be automatic?
[05:54] <Trashcan> how do i kill both and start a fresh one on display 0?
[05:54] <nickrud> Trashcan, log out of each
[05:54] <Trashcan> well
[05:54] <Trashcan> one is locked up
[05:54] <Trashcan> :)
[05:54] <eobanb_> i dont know whether we should mark the occasion of a significant number of ubuntu users not knowing about gnome-terminal as a milestone indicative of the progress of linux, or quite the reverse; users simply knowing less and less about the computers they rely on.
[05:54] <bwlang> wizzlefish: not automatic... but you don't hav eto reinstall... just run apt-get dist-upgrade
[05:54] <paradizelost> Trashcan: or you  can CTRL+ALT+F2, log in, and sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[05:54] <Trashcan> hm
[05:54] <nickrud> Trashcan, log out of the one that isn't, then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[05:55] <wizzlefish> ok bwlang, and it won't destroy any of the software I installed or my personal files?
[05:55] <Trashcan> that's what i did, it gave a warning about x server found on display 0 and started a new one on display 1, so i have two running :\
[05:55] <Trashcan> i'll do that though. i think it's just that i forgot to log out of this one
[05:55] <bwlang> wizzlefish: not unless something goes badly wrong.
[05:55] <eobanb_> wizzlefish, it will update software you already have installed, and it won't touch personal files
[05:55] <nickrud> Trashcan, then after logout, and in the F2 terminal, killall Xorg
[05:55] <wizzlefish> thank you eobanb_ and bwlang - Dapper looks promising...
[05:56] <jijie> hi tomb, hows ur day?
[05:56] <eobanb_> wizzlefish, yes; i'm running it right now and must say, it's quite polished
[05:57] <paradizelost> nickrud: i've had it not finish the restart if you do the /etc/init.d/gdm restart from a terminal  in X
[05:57] <paradizelost> if you use screen to run it, then its  fine
[05:57] <Trashcan> it said it found a server running on display 1
[05:57] <Trashcan> then when i hit ok, it said unrecognized command: vt9
[05:57] <nickrud> paradizelost, never saw that, but I can imagine it
[05:57] <Trashcan> failed to start x server
[05:58] <Trashcan> and theres still a locked up screen on console 7
[05:58] <nickrud> Trashcan, clt-alt-f2, login, then sudo killall gdm (harsh, I know)
[05:58] <Trashcan> lol ok
[05:58] <Trashcan> :)
[05:58] <Trashcan> any reason you use f2 instead of f1?
[05:58] <ddonky> hmmm - ubunti didn't recornize my tv card. videoinput: Cannot open capture device /dev/video0: No such dev
[05:58] <paradizelost> Trashcan: force of habit
[05:58] <Trashcan> lol ok
[05:58] <nickrud> Trashcan, because it was mentioned by someone else :)
[05:58] <paradizelost> F1-F6 should be the same
[05:58] <eobanb_> ddonky, did you install gato
[05:59] <paradizelost> !gatos
[05:59] <ubotu> paradizelost: NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[05:59] <eobanb_> gatos, i mean
[05:59] <GTroy> eobanb: I've installed dosbox, how do you get to command prompt?>
[05:59] <ddonky> eobanb - yes, with apt-get, you mean?
[05:59] <eobanb_> yes
[06:00] <ddonky> eobanb - do i have to run it or something?
[06:00] <paradizelost> well all, time to call it a night.  bday party tomorrowl!!!!
[06:00] <GTroy> h.bday paradizelost
[06:00] <Trashcan> still same problem - after killall gdm it killed my current working session and left the other
[06:00] <eobanb_> ubotu, gatos is a driver for ATI All-In-Wonder cards.  To install it, enable universe and sudo apt-get install gatos
[06:00] <ubotu> eobanb_: okay
[06:00] <eobanb_> !gatos
[06:00] <ubotu> I guess gatos is a driver for ATI All-In-Wonder cards.  To install it, enable universe and sudo apt-get install gatos
[06:00] <Trashcan> the one in question is just a grey/white/black screen with the little spinning "please wait" cursor
[06:01] <paradizelost> Trashcan: killall -9 X
[06:01] <GTroy> eobanb_: could you tell me how to get to dosbox prompt?
[06:01] <Trashcan> right on
[06:01] <Trashcan> bbl
[06:01] <paradizelost> note the ^ capital X
[06:01] <Trashcan> yea
[06:01] <eobanb_> GTroy, what happens when you just run dosbox
[06:01] <Trashcan> X: no process killed <-- lawl
[06:02] <skwid_> where would be a good place to manual install applications ?
[06:02] <skwid_> /usr/?
[06:02] <GTroy> eobanb_ that's it, I don't know how to
[06:02] <eobanb_> skwid_, probably /opt
[06:02] <eobanb_> GTroy, type 'dosbox' ?
[06:02] <GTroy> dosbox at command prompt command not found
[06:02] <skwid_> eobanb: i thought that was for config
[06:02] <eobanb_> GTroy, did you sudo apt-get install dosbox
[06:02] <GTroy> I installed from source
[06:02] <eobanb_> GTroy, why?
[06:03] <GTroy> eh....
[06:03] <eobanb_> ...what?
[06:03] <GTroy> pffth
[06:03] <GTroy> I dunno, I usually install source first
[06:03] <Trashcan> oh duh, Xorg
[06:03] <eobanb_> GTroy, okay....
[06:03] <Trashcan> if i disappear it worked :D
[06:03] <eobanb_> GTroy, i suggest you just install it through apt
[06:04] <GTroy> eobanb_ doing that now
[06:04] <ddonky> eobanb - do I have to reboot to get all the gatos goodness?
[06:04] <eobanb_> ddonky, you might have to
[06:04] <ddonky> k
[06:04] <scarn> how do i select my monitor?
[06:04] <eobanb_> ddonky, i wouldnt think you would have to, but if it isnt working, then that's what i'd try doing
[06:05] <skwid_> eobanb: isnt it ?
[06:05] <eobanb_> skwid_, what?
[06:05] <skwid_> eobanb: i thought that was for config (/opt)
[06:05] <eobanb_> GTroy, can i ask you why you usually install programmes mostly from source?
[06:05] <eobanb_> skwid_, /etc is for configuration files
[06:05] <GTroy> eobanb_: mostly out of habit
[06:06] <eobanb_> GTroy, that's completely unnecessary on just about all modern distros
[06:06] <mzinz> I have KDE and had Gnome.  I deleted Gnome and now I can't use Eclipse.  What packages do I need to run eclipse?
[06:06] <skwid_> eobanb: why would i put an app there than ?
[06:06] <GTroy> eobanb_heh yeah
[06:06] <eobanb_> skwid_, because LSB says /opt is for extra applications?
[06:06] <skwid_> LSB ?
[06:06] <eobanb_> linux standard base
[06:06] <skwid_> oh, ok
[06:06] <skwid_> url ?
[06:07] <eobanb_> url for what?
[06:07] <jmoncayo> if i login with ssh to my linux box from a windows machine, can i use the X forwarding??
[06:07] <scarn> is there a way to choose the monitor you have?
[06:07] <daryl> I just did a make install of wine source, and then tried to run winecfg, and got an error: Application tries to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
[06:07] <daryl> Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
[06:07] <nickrud> mzinz, how did you delete gnome? (I know how to do kde, and now and then see requests for removing gnome)
[06:07] <skwid_> eobanb: LSB
[06:08] <jmoncayo> daryl, is that for my quest?
[06:08] <daryl> jmoncayo: no... that was my question.
[06:08] <mzinz> nickrud: i forget the command but there were like 3 different people who all had the same answer.
[06:08] <daryl> Anyone know why my i'm getting a DISPLAY not set correctly?
[06:08] <eobanb_> skwid_, uhm, well there's some info here
[06:08] <eobanb_> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_standard_base
[06:08] <rixth> I have a general computing question (actually about power consumption).... If you have two identical computers, one has a 300W power supply, the other has a 500W supply,  they both draw the same watts?

[06:09] <eobanb_> rixth, they are capable of drawing whatever they are rated for
[06:09] <eobanb_> rixth, no more hardware questions please, that's out of the scope of this channel
[06:09] <nickrud> If I wanted to be thorough, it'd be libglib2.0-0 ; but some of the ubuntu tools depend on that. I was curious about a reasonable reomoval
[06:10] <Chad> Alright, I went to the Terminal to run pppconfig, but it says "must be root to blah blah"
[06:10] <eobanb_> Chad, so sudo pppconfig
[06:10] <eobanb_> !tell Chat about sudo
[06:10] <Chad> does my user have to be root, or do I have to be in the root folder
[06:10] <eobanb_> Chad, read what ubotu sent you please..
[06:10] <rixth> eobanb, well, actually- I have a software related question too. Do any/most motherboards have sensors that show total power drawn? (that can be pi9cked up by lmsensors, say)
[06:10] <tritium> Chad: your user has to be in the admin group, and you have to use sudo
[06:10] <Chad> @info sudo
[06:10] <eobanb_> rixth, modern boards have sensors like that, i'm sure
[06:10] <nickrud> rixth, those are 'rated' values; actual usage depends on how many drives, what kind of video card, what extra cards, usb, and
[06:10] <Chad> !info sudo
[06:10] <ubotu> sudo: (Provide limited super user privileges to specific users), section admin, is important. Version: 1.6.8p9-2ubuntu2.3 (breezy), Packaged size: 155 kB, Installed size: 376 kB
[06:11] <Chad> I added my only user to the admins group
[06:11] <bimberi> !tell Chad about sudo
[06:11] <bimberi> (eobanb_ had "Chat")
[06:11] <eobanb_> Chad, the first user you create on an ubuntu system is already in the sudoers file
[06:11] <eobanb_> bimberi, ah, so i did :)
[06:11] <Chad> k
[06:11] <rixth> nickrud, Yeah, but both are identical. What I want to know is: the PSU may be RATED to draw 300 or 500w, but if the computer only needs 170w on average, both PSUs will only draw that amount from the wall, even thoguh they are rated higher?
[06:11] <Chad> Alright
[06:11] <bimberi> eobanb_: :)
[06:11] <nickrud> etc. Identical machines, probably similar actual wattage
[06:11] <intuos_pen> hello, i've been using evolution email client for some time now (ubuntu breezy) and configured all the addresses, accounts and contacts on it, but just today when I tried to launch evolution, it's starting again on "Setup Assistant" like it's just the first time it's being run. how do i recover my settings and email account?
[06:12] <eobanb_> rixth, did i not already say that this channel is not for hardware questions?
[06:12] <nickrud> rixth, exactly
[06:12] <rixth> nickrud, thanks.
[06:12] <Chad> and the reason I'm using pppconfig is cuz i can't user my modem
[06:12] <Chad> I activate it, and it doesn't do anything.  How do I dial with it?
[06:12] <rixth> Chad, is it a winmodem?
[06:13] <nickrud> Chad, install minicom. It will allow you access to the actual at commands for your modem (assuming linux can see it)
[06:13] <bimberi> jmoncayo: only if you have X running on windows - http://x.cygwin.com/ - using VNC or FreeNX might be easier
[06:13] <Chad> I actually dont know
[06:13] <nickrud> Chad, is it an onboard modem, or a pci modem?
[06:13] <Chad> It's a Conexant SoftV90 Data Fax Modem
[06:13] <eobanb_> jmoncayo and bimberi, you may want to check out http://xlivecd.indiana.edu/
[06:14] <nickrud> !conexant
[06:14] <ubotu> NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, nickrud
[06:14] <nickrud> Chad, you gotta pay money for connexant. Google connexant
[06:14] <intuos_pen> evolution on breezy help. anyone?
[06:14] <jmoncayo> eobanb_, is that possible?
[06:14] <Chad> PCI I think
[06:14] <eobanb_> jmoncayo, hm?
[06:14] <nickrud> Chad, that is, pay for full access to the modem, you can run it at 14.4 with
[06:15] <nickrud> a free driver
[06:15] <eobanb_> nickrud, i'm not sure if that's true..
[06:15] <mzinz> I deleted Gnome and now Eclipse won't work on KDE.  Which packages do I need??
[06:15] <bimberi> eobanb_: looks good - thanks :)
[06:15] <Chad> No, i've had this thing for years
[06:15] <Trashcan> kernel panic :)
[06:15] <Chad> It's run at 30-45kbps
[06:15] <nickrud> Chad, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto?action=show&redirect=DialupHowto#head-0164869cfd1c39a2bdff939835094630ba26bdef
[06:16] <Trashcan> while i remember let's address a bigger problem- anyone experience EXTREMELY long "mounting root filesystem" times?
[06:16] <Trashcan> on the order of 3-4 minutes
[06:16] <intuos_pen> anyone here know how to recover lost email settings and account on evolution that comes with breezy badger?
[06:16] <bimberi> Trashcan: only when the fsck is forced (every 30 mounts iirc)
[06:16] <nickrud> eobanb, I may be out of date, true
[06:16] <skwid_> anyone here with an HP laptop ???
[06:17] <Trashcan> its every time
[06:17] <Trashcan> but yeah the fsck was forced kuz i kernel panicked :)
[06:17] <eobanb_> intuos_pen, what happened between when it was working and when you lost the settings?
[06:18] <Chad> Well I have a different modem too
[06:18] <intuos_pen> eobanb_: it won't open on my settings and would start just on "setup assistant" as if i'm using it for the first time.
[06:18] <GTroy> I like this! http://www.google.com/trends?q=ubuntu
[06:18] <daryl> Anyone have a moment to help me with a NVIDIA DISPLAY problem?
[06:18] <eobanb_> intuos_pen, so one day it was working, and then it just randomly stopped working?
[06:19] <intuos_pen> eobanb_: yes.
[06:19] <daryl> !nvidia
[06:19] <ubotu> Help about installing the nVidia drivers on Ubuntu can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[06:19] <intuos_pen> eobanb_: you know how to recover settings in evolution?
[06:19] <skwid_> GTroy: look at the cities
[06:19] <skwid_> that's interesting :)
[06:19] <intuos_pen> ubotu: help with evolution please.
[06:20] <nickrud> intuos_pen, what settings?
[06:20] <eobanb_> intuos_pen, well i'm afraid you'll probably have to restore from a backup or re-create the settings yourself.
[06:20] <Chad> K, I have an Agere Systems PCI Soft Modem
[06:20] <GTroy> skwid_: yeah it's different
[06:20] <intuos_pen> nickrud: evolution is starting on setup assistant again.
[06:20] <eobanb_> Chad, you said you had a conexant
[06:20] <intuos_pen> eobanb: that would be a last resort.
[06:21] <GTroy> skwid_: it looks like stock prices
[06:21] <nickrud> intuos_pen, the account info (what the setup assistant sets) is kept in ~/.gconf ; did you delete that by any chance?
[06:21] <skwid_> :)
[06:21] <skwid_> GTroy: similar ..
[06:21] <intuos_pen> nickrud: nope.
[06:21] <GTroy> skwid_ stock for open source
[06:21] <eobanb_> intuos_pen, well unless you can think of something that might have triggered your situation, i dont know how the settings were lost and thus i dont know from where or how they could be recovered.  see what i'm saying?
[06:22] <daryl> NVIDIA display problem, can anyone help?
[06:22] <eobanb_> !anyone
[06:22] <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? </hint>
[06:22] <GTroy> daryl: I can try
[06:22] <Trashcan> lol
[06:22] <GTroy> eobanb_++
[06:23] <intuos_pen> nickrud: .gconf is still on my home directory.

[06:23] <doubletwist> For anyone who's good with 'vi': Is it possible to tell vi to insert a character '#' at the beginning of the next 50 lines instead of manually inserting it 50 times?

[06:23] <GTroy> !karma gnomefreak
[06:23] <ubotu> gnomefreak has neutral karma
[06:23] <movpclr> anyone know where the gnome startup scripts are?  right now i can only boot into gnome-failsafe
[06:24] <Chad> ALright
[06:24] <GTroy> anyway, what's the issue daryl
[06:24] <Chad> I found a driver that should fit my other modem
[06:24] <intuos_pen> eobanb_: i believe that there is a file that evolution regularly checks to look at the settings and it fails to see it this time that's why it's starts on "Setup Assistant" again. I just don't know what particular file it is.
[06:24] <nickrud> intuos_pen you can examine the raw evolution account settings by running gconf-editor, then navigating to apps/evolution/mail
[06:24] <Chad> Once I download it, how do I go about installing it?
[06:24] <intuos_pen> nickrud: that would be promising. i'll check it out
[06:24] <Chad> I suck with the commands
[06:24] <eobanb_> Chad, are you referring to the agere modem driver?
[06:24] <Chad> yep
[06:24] <intuos_pen> damn, gnome is emulating microsoft registry structure? yay.
[06:25] <eobanb_> Chad, are you sure this driver is not already in the kernel
[06:25] <Chad> If it is it doesn't see it
[06:25] <nickrud> intuos_pen, not quite. It's just reminiscent.
[06:25] <bimberi> http://www.google.com/trends?q=ubuntu%2C+fedora%2C+debian%2C+gentoo     :)
[06:26] <Chad> Eobanb, I dont have the line hooked up to the other modem, the Agere one.
[06:26] <bimberi> (thanks GTroy for pointing that out btw)
[06:26] <cafuego_> bimberi: yeh, looks like it's goign up, just a wee bit ;-)
[06:26] <GTroy> bimberi: the google trends?
[06:26] <bimberi> GTroy: yep :)
[06:27] <eobanb_> Chad, okay.  can you pastebin the output of scanmodem?
[06:27] <GTroy> bimberi: glad someone enjoyed it
[06:27] <Chad> I'm not on ubuntu right now....so I can't do it right now
[06:27] <nickrud> GTroy, I looked at yours, and bimberi, that blue line is pretty :)
[06:27] <eobanb_> Chad, well i can't help you then.  unless i know your modem chipset then i dont know what driver you need.
[06:28] <Chad> can I look it up in windows?
[06:28] <intuos_pen> nickrud: apps/evolution/mail on configuration editor exists and appears to have some values in it.
[06:28] <eobanb_> Chad, perhaps, but i have no idea how to do that.
[06:28] <GTroy> nickrud: it reminds me of progressive stock!
[06:28] <SmokeW33d> can anyone tell me where the xorg conf file is?
[06:28] <SmokeW33d> located
[06:28] <GTroy> or rather instead of stock, progress of open source
[06:28] <intuos_pen> nickrud: btw, .gconf has a directory permission of 077. is this correct?
[06:28] <eobanb_> Chad, i suggest you read this: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[06:29] <SmokeW33d> xorg.conf
[06:29] <SmokeW33d> anyone
[06:29] <SmokeW33d> i duno where it is
[06:29] <eobanb_>  /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:29] <SmokeW33d> thanks
[06:29] <SmokeW33d> lol
[06:29] <SmokeW33d> took long enuff

[06:29] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and is annoying.
[06:29] <nickrud> intuos_pen, then for the future, I'm gonna recommend running dovecot imap server, and dropping your mail there. It divorces the mail store from the mail accounts, and will make your email life manageable for the forseeable future :)
[06:30] <eobanb_> jeez, some people these days...
[06:30] <intuos_pen> nickrud: this "dovecot imap server" would be okay to run on laptops?
[06:30] <Chad> Can someone help me set up a dual boot?
[06:30] <nickrud> intuos_pen, everywhere.
[06:30] <Chad> Can I boot up ubuntu with windows?
[06:31] <intuos_pen> nickrud: cool.
[06:31] <eobanb_> Chad, can you rephrase your question
[06:31] <Chad> I want to run Windows and Ubuntu at the SAME TIME, that way I dont have to switch back and forth...dual boot.
[06:31] <eobanb_> what do you mean by 'boot up ubuntu with windows'
[06:31] <nickrud> !info dovecot-imapd
[06:31] <ubotu> dovecot-imapd: (secure IMAP server that supports mbox and maildir mailboxes), section mail, is optional. Version: 0.99.14-1ubuntu1 (breezy), Packaged size: 276 kB, Installed size: 552 kB
[06:31] <eobanb_> Chad, that's not what dual-booting is, that's virtualisation
[06:31] <Chad> k
[06:31] <Chad> well can I do that
[06:31] <intuos_pen> nickrud: i've been looking for this kind of application for so long and all i can think of is configuring a separate web/email server so that I can access it from there.
[06:31] <eobanb_> Chad, sure, but not without a bit of work
[06:32] <chowells2> Chad: qemu, vmware, or buy a second computer
[06:32] <eobanb_> yeah.
[06:32] <|Sivik|> god, it would be nice to have some bloody help on other chanels
[06:32] <|Sivik|> channels
[06:32] <eobanb_> |Sivik|, is there a specific question we can help you with?
[06:32] <|Sivik|> what does "Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual!" mean
[06:32] <eobanb_> |Sivik|, that means there is some problem with openGL rendering on your GPU
[06:32] <|Sivik|> ok
[06:32] <|Sivik|> how do i fix it?
[06:32] <mareks> hello
[06:33] <nickrud> intuos_pen, imap is the current champ. For example, if someone donated a xen server out on the net to you, you could keep your mail in an imap store there.
[06:33] <eobanb_> |Sivik|, i assume you are trying to get openGL to work?
[06:33] <|Sivik|> eobanb: yes
[06:33] <intuos_pen> nickrud: that would be great.
[06:33] <eobanb_> |Sivik|, well what graphics card do you have?
[06:33] <Raven301> When using apt-get ... Can you change the place it downloads from? If so Where do you change it?
[06:33] <mareks> looking for a good wireless 108g (preferrably) or 54g adapter, anyone know of a compatible one?
[06:33] <|Sivik|> ati xpress 200m 128
[06:33] <eobanb_> Raven301, yes, you can, but i wouldn't recommend changing the place so much as adding other places (called repositories)
[06:33] <|Sivik|> mareks: for what, laptop or desktop?
[06:34] <eobanb_> Raven301, if you'd like to manage repositories for apt, just edit /etc/apt/sources.list, but take care not to change the existing entries lest you break apt entirely
[06:34] <mareks> |Sivik|, for ubuntu5.10
[06:34] <mareks> desktop
[06:34] <|Sivik|> mareks: yes, dapper
[06:34] <eobanb_> '108g'?
[06:34] <|Sivik|> mareks: yes, i'm already in ubunt+1 and no one in there can help me
[06:34] <eobanb_> what is a 108g
[06:34] <intuos_pen> nickrud: btw, how do i tell evolution to read my existing records in .gconf and stop running the "Setup Assistant" everytime it is launched?
[06:34] <|Sivik|> 108 is really n not g
[06:34] <Raven301> eobanb_:  ok thanks ... where would I get a list of repositories?
[06:34] <|Sivik|> and i didn't think you could buy a 108 yet
[06:34] <eobanb_> the n spec isnt out yet
[06:34] <nickrud> now, if someone would come up with a rational single user ldap ...
[06:34] <|Sivik|> eobanb: there is a pre-n
[06:35] <eobanb_> Raven301, well what do you need to install?
[06:35] <nickrud> intuos_pen, no clue. That's why I keep my mail in imap
[06:35] <mareks> is there a list of compatible wireless adapters for ubuntu5.10?
[06:35] <Raven301> eobanb_: Xchat
[06:35] <intuos_pen> nickrud: yay.
[06:35] <|Sivik|> mareks: probably, did you google it?
[06:35] <eobanb_> Raven301, x-chat is already installed on ubuntu by default
[06:35] <nickrud> intuos_pen, future, think future :)
[06:35] <eobanb_> Raven301, x-chat is also already in the official ubuntu repositories
[06:36] <intuos_pen> nickrud: i know.
[06:36] <intuos_pen> nickrud: but what is future to me if i'm dead now?
[06:36] <intuos_pen> nickrud: just kidding.
[06:36] <Raven301> eobanb_: oh ... ok ... I'm using the k version and it has the gnome xchat only
[06:37] <eobanb_> mareks, there's no comprehensive list that i know of, but almost any PCMCIA one should work these days
[06:37] <Raven301> eobanb_: So Is there a list of repositories?
[06:37] <|Sivik|> eobanb: are you going to help me
[06:37] <nickrud> intuos_pen, it's tedious, but you can recover your mail out of evolution (been there, done that). Save the directory .evolution . Then install mc. Next, you need to go thru the tedium of pulling out each and every mbox file under that directory, and save them
[06:38] <|Sivik|> !repositories
[06:38] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[06:38] <chowells2> Is there a way to sign my name after making a comment in the ubuntu wiki? ( '~~~~' in MediaWiki)
[06:38] <PPJJ> i CANNOT get ubuntu to work on this pc..omg.
[06:38] <Raven301> thanks
[06:38] <|Sivik|> PPJJ: what is the issue?
[06:38] <PPJJ> anyone ever had it install completely, modules etc, then just sit at a grey underscore that doesnt flash after boot?
[06:38] <nickrud> intuos_pen, I can't tell you the exact filenames, because I imported them into imap, and walked away.
[06:38] <intuos_pen> nickrud: mc is midnight commander?
[06:38] <PPJJ> it goes through the entire typical proces then sits at _
[06:39] <nickrud> intuos_pen, yes
[06:39] <intuos_pen> nickrud: i believ i can work comfortably with the commandline.
[06:39] <ToHellWithGA> i'm having difficulty getting sound working properly on my M-Audio Delta 2496 card.  is anybody in here good at sound tricks?
[06:39] <PPJJ> i can run in recovery mode, thats about it
[06:39] <|Sivik|> PPJJ: is there some sort of issue?
[06:39] <eobanb_> PPJJ, so it's a fresh install?
[06:39] <ToHellWithGA> and hi.  i just installed today.  like ubuntu so far :)
[06:39] <nickrud> intuos_pen, command line would be much faster
[06:39] <eobanb_> !sound
[06:39] <ubotu> Help to fix issues with sound can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
[06:40] <ToHellWithGA> eobanb: thanks
[06:40] <jmg> hey all
[06:40] <|Sivik|> hi jmg
[06:40] <eobanb_> welcome, jmg
[06:40] <PPJJ> eobanb; extremely.. have reinstalled 5 times now using ext3, lvm, different res
[06:40] <jmg> anyone know how to configure an HP printer under kubuntu?
[06:40] <|Sivik|> eobanb: what shouli try?
[06:40] <intuos_pen> damn, evolution is beginning to suck like thunderbird.
[06:40] <GTroy> hey guys if I sudo apt-get installed a program and want to look at the files where would I go?
[06:40] <eobanb_> |Sivik|, for what?
[06:40] <|Sivik|> eobanb: the issues with my xgl stuff
[06:40] <eobanb_> GTroy, what programme?
[06:40] <GTroy> eggdrop
[06:41] <|Sivik|> GTroy: locate eggdrop
[06:41] <eobanb_> |Sivik|, the appropriate channel for that would be #ubuntu-xgl
[06:41] <GTroy> I want to edit the config file
[06:41] <|Sivik|> GTroy: and if that doesn't work, do a updatedb first
[06:41] <eobanb_> GTroy, the config file is probably somewhere in /etc/
[06:41] <|Sivik|> eobanb: i told you i'm already there and no one is alive
[06:41] <|Sivik|> at least that can help me
[06:41] <GTroy> cool thanks eobanb_
[06:41] <intuos_pen> nickrud: so i can use any email client on this dovecot imap server?
[06:41] <GTroy> you've helped a lot today
[06:41] <eobanb_> |Sivik|, well try #ubuntu+1 or just be patient
[06:41] <eggzeck> GTroy, that is kind of offtopic, but go to the eggdrop website.
[06:41] <eobanb_> |Sivik|, this is neither the channel for xgl nor dapper in general, sorry
[06:41] <|Sivik|> eobanb: i have been waiting like 4 hours to hear from someone
[06:42] <eobanb_> |Sivik|, keep in mind that xgl is still a fairly experimental piece of software
[06:42] <eggzeck> GTroy, http://www.eggheads.org/
[06:42] <GTroy> right
[06:42] <eggzeck> GTroy, that should get you started with the eggdrop bot
[06:42] <PPJJ> eobanb; any ideas?
[06:43] <nickrud> intuos_pen, yes. Once you have dovecot up and running (very simple) you can use ANY imap aware email client, in any order or combination. They all see the same mail.
[06:43] <eggzeck> GTroy, it's better to compile and do everything manually
[06:43] <eobanb_> PPJJ, what happens when you boot it normally and then when the underscore appears, hit ctrl-alt-F1 to switch to a virtual terminal
[06:43] <PPJJ> ill try that
[06:43] <eobanb_> PPJJ, it kind of just sounds like an xorg problem to me
[06:44] <PPJJ> what if virt term works?
[06:44] <intuos_pen> nickrud: and dovecot automatically download emails from any email server as soon as it arrives?
[06:44] <Arc> can anyone help me recover my G4 mac?
[06:44] <eobanb_> PPJJ, then you can go about fixing your xorg.conf
[06:44] <eobanb_> Arc, what's the specific problem?
[06:44] <PPJJ> gotcha
[06:44] <Arc> the Ubuntu bootloader seems to have made it impossible to install OS 10.3 now
[06:45] <PPJJ> im somehow managed to wipe out my Xp pro in the process of this, my 50th linux install
[06:45] <PPJJ> i amaze myself daily
[06:45] <intuos_pen> Arc: i didn't know about OS 10.3 but you must have a way to re-initialize the master boot record of your G4 mac.
[06:45] <eobanb_> Arc, the idea is to partition first, install mac os x, and then ubuntu, which itself installs a bootloader to allow you to switch between the two operating systems
[06:45] <eobanb_> intuos_pen, there is no master boot record on powerpc macs
[06:45] <Arc> when i boot up holding down the "c" key, i get a grey screen with a grey apple on it, then after a second or two the optical mouse light goes out (usb power seems to go out) and there's a screen telling me in four languages to hold down the power key or press the reset button
[06:45] <eobanb_> or intel macs for that matter
[06:45] <nickrud> intuos_pen, imap is simply a way of storing mail. You can use procmail to fill the store, or you can create an evolution or kmail filter to put the mail in the store.
[06:46] <eobanb_> Arc, that's a mac os x kernel panic
[06:46] <tag> anyone know how to make nautilus use a socks proxy+
[06:46] <tag> ?
[06:46] <eobanb_> tag, you mean for network shares?
[06:47] <Arc> eobanb_: when I press the "c" key from the ubuntu bootloader it goes further; i get a circular "loading" type animated icon below the apple logo, but then the screen flickers to an entirely grey screen
[06:47] <tag> yea
[06:47] <intuos_pen> nickrud: ah, another program to fetch the mails from the email servers.
[06:47] <Arc> its been sitting on that grey screen for about 5 minutes now
[06:47] <eobanb_> Arc, i assume you have a mac os x install disc in the drive?
[06:47] <intuos_pen> nickrud: how about the built-in fetchmail?
[06:47] <Arc> eobanb_: yes. 10.3
[06:47] <tag> to connect to file servers and what not
[06:47] <jijie> mwahh!....
[06:48] <skwid_> hum
[06:48] <eobanb_> Arc, it sounds like you might have a bad disc.  is it known to work on other computers, or have you tried a different install disc?
[06:48] <Arc> I'd like to setup a quad-boot macosx, ubuntu, fedora, gentoo
[06:48] <skwid_> my flash player doesnt have sound ????
[06:48] <tag> I have a socks proxy into my work
[06:48] <PPJJ> eobanb; nope, ctrl alt f1 did nothing
[06:48] <daryl> I'm having Display problems with my NVIDIA card.  I've followed the instructions at !nvidia.  Could someone help me?
[06:48] <PPJJ> i liws
[06:48] <PPJJ> lied
[06:48] <PPJJ> now it wants my login
[06:48] <PPJJ> interesting
[06:48] <eobanb_> PPJJ, it's just an xorg problem then.
[06:48] <eobanb_> PPJJ, log in as your user as specified in the install process.
[06:48] <tag> and I want to use it to connect to file sharing servers and what not
[06:48] <ormandj> why is the live cd for EMT64/AMD64 named -amd64 if it supports both?
[06:49] <PPJJ> yep
[06:49] <eobanb_> ormandj, they're the same thing
[06:49] <ToHellWithGA> eobanb: my concern with ALSA is labeling controls in the mixer.  the lables "multi 1" "multi 2" and such do not help when i'm trying to control volume levels
[06:49] <Arc> eobanb_: the disk is fine.
[06:49] <jijie> halu!....
[06:49] <eobanb_> ormandj, and it's called EM64T, not EMT64
[06:49] <PPJJ> go ubuntu, make me learn command line trial by fire
[06:49] <ormandj> eobanb: then why named amd64, that was my question :)
[06:49] <daryl> Anyone here, able to help me with my NVIDA display problems?
[06:49] <ormandj> eobanb: sorry, mistype, i'm dyslexic
[06:49] <Arc> is there a way to revert to the original mac bootloader? the one where you can hold down different keys at boot to get different drives to go?
[06:49] <eobanb_> Arc, well i really dont know, but the fact that mac os x is kernel panicking makes it a mac os x problem i'm afraid, not an ubuntu one.
[06:49] <nickrud> intuos_pen yes, you can use that and a mail server and procmail if you like.
[06:49] <jijie> s anyboD here?....
[06:49] <eobanb_> ormandj, because it's just shorter and easier to type/say?
[06:50] <daryl> Anyone here, able to help me with my NVIDA display problems?
[06:50] <eobanb_> Arc, yes, flash the NVRAM
[06:50] <tag> I could always start nautilus with tsocks, but I think there is probably a less brute force way
[06:50] <Arc> eobanb_: how do I do that
[06:50] <eobanb_> Arc, just hold down cmd-opt-P-R on boot
[06:50] <eobanb_> Arc, and do it twice in a row
[06:50] <Arc> you mean control-option p r?
[06:50] <eobanb_> Arc, no, command.
[06:50] <tag> eobanb_: any ideaZ
[06:50] <intuos_pen> nickrud: okay, that would be nice. i won't be bugging you with more questions. i'm planning to read dovecot's documentation sometime later. thanks for all the info's you've told me.
[06:50] <Arc> what's the command key?
[06:50] <tag> ideas even
[06:51] <eobanb_> Arc, i take it you're not a long-time mac user....
[06:51] <Arc> no i'm not.
[06:51] <Arc> the apple key?
[06:51] <PPJJ> eobanb; whats a good place to learn how to fix xorg?
[06:51] <eobanb_> Arc, it's the key with an apple logo on it.  it also has a sort of flower-like symbol on it
[06:51] <Arc> ok.
[06:51] <jijie> hi!....
[06:51] <intuos_pen> eobanb_: btw, does intel-macs have mbr's already?
[06:51] <eobanb_> intuos_pen, no, intel macs use EFI, which does not use an MBR
[06:51] <jijie> hi!....
[06:51] <eobanb_> welcome, jijie
[06:51] <nickrud> intuos_pen, I've been avoiding https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhyIMAP for a long time :)
[06:52] <intuos_pen> nickrud: avoiding? why?
[06:52] <nickrud> intuos_pen, it need editing
[06:52] <lwizardl> any ubuntu guru's awake ?
[06:52] <eobanb_> !anyone
[06:52] <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? </hint>
[06:52] <jijie> thnks.... at last i hav sombody 2 chat on.
[06:52] <daryl> Anyone here, able to help me with my NVIDA display problems?
[06:53] <eobanb_> !anyone
[06:53] <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? </hint>
[06:53] <Arc> eobanb_: ok i did that, the volume at startup was noticably lower
[06:53] <lwizardl> eobanb_ thats funny
[06:53] <Arc> but i still got the ubuntu bootloader
[06:53] <daryl> eobanb_: what you mean?
[06:53] <nickrud> intuos_pen, and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Dovecot is way to complex for most users
[06:53] <skwid_> wow sweet
[06:53] <eobanb_> daryl, just ask your question, don't ask to ask
[06:53] <daryl> eobanb_: i did repeatedly, but didn't want to spam the room w/the long explanation.  so I was waiting for someone to respond
[06:53] <intuos_pen> ubotu: it's between me and nickrud, so there's no need to worry, the borg doesn't understand humans much.
[06:53] <ubotu> intuos_pen: I'm sorry, i don't know what you're talking about
[06:54] <intuos_pen> ubotu: see.
[06:54] <ubotu> I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, intuos_pen
[06:54] <eobanb_> !tell daryl about nvidia
[06:54] <nickrud> !tell intuos_pen about ubotu
[06:54] <daryl> eobanb_: I followed the instructions at that nvidia site.  and i still have this problem.
[06:54] <eobanb_> intuos_pen, ubotu isn't a real person
[06:54] <PPJJ> eobanb; would info about xorg be on wiki.ubun?
[06:55] <tag> how can I make nautilus use a socks proxy to connect to a file share?
[06:55] <Arc> does anyone know how to remove the ubuntu bootloader from a system?
[06:55] <eobanb_> daryl, well instead of us all having to scroll up and find where you explained the issue an hour ago, can you just explain it again?
[06:55] <eobanb_> Arc, i already explained how
[06:55] <daryl> eobanb_: i'm trying to type it
[06:55] <Arc> eobanb_: and I told you, that did'nt work.
[06:55] <intuos_pen> eobanb_: i know :) didn't you see i called him a borg? anyway, it's against the rules to play with the bot. i'm stopping now.
[06:55] <eobanb_> cmd-opt-P-R, Arc
[06:55] <eobanb_> Arc, are you positive you're pressing all four of those keys?
[06:55] <Arc> I did. and it immediatly rebooted with the volume noticably reduced.  and i kept holding it down, and it rebooted again, then i let up.
[06:56] <daryl> eobanb_: the problem is when I run winecfg.  I get a message that the apllication tries to start a window, but no driver could be loaded.  Make sure ythat your x server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.
[06:56] <Arc> yes.
[06:56] <eobanb_> daryl, well that's hardly an issue with nvidia, that's a problem with wine
[06:56] <lwizardl> can someone help me with figuring how I can have this. I'm wanting to have 2 pcs running in a retail store type setup (inventory management, print sales receipts, etc)  1 the main backend server running everything. and 1 front end terminal pulling the information from the backend server and updating as needed
[06:56] <daryl> eobanb_ that explains why reinstalling my nvidia drivers 50 different ways didn't resolve the problem
[06:56] <cafuego_> did you 'su' at all?
[06:57] <daryl> eobanb_ whats the problem?
[06:57] <eobanb_> daryl, i'm not sure...i'd probably ask in #wine
[06:57] <daryl> eobanb_: ok, i'l go try there
[06:57] <bjron> hmm, so I have an iso image which I'd like to use as a source for my dapper upgrade, mounted the image and added it to my sources list, but when i run 'update-manager -d' and get ready to upgrade, the ugrade manager disables the iso file source; does anyone know how to use this image as a source (so I don't have to redownload those packages on the CD)?
[06:58] <eobanb_> bjron, sure, just do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade instead of running the update manager
[06:58] <Arc> does anyone know how to remove the ubuntu bootloader from a system?
[06:59] <PPJJ> eobanb; when i try to edit xorg.conf i get GTK-warning cannot open display.. hm
[06:59] <PPJJ> i wonder if its because i have a PCI video card plugged in with my 7900gt
[06:59] <eobanb_> PPJJ, obviously you can't use a graphical editor like gedit when you're not running X
[06:59] <PPJJ> oh
[06:59] <Arc> I know this system was booting these CDs just two days ago, now it's not.  this is a serious problem if ubuntu is preventing the macosx install CDs from working and there's no way to recover
[06:59] <bjron> eobanb, ah, good thought.  I'm  a bit concerned that running 'dist-upgrade' isn't the only thing the upgrade manager does tho
[06:59] <eobanb_> PPJJ, use nano or vi
[06:59] <PPJJ> vi then?
[06:59] <PPJJ> k
[06:59] <PPJJ> i didnt realize gedit was graphical
[07:00] <eobanb_> PPJJ, and remember use sudo when editing it
[07:00] <PPJJ> ok all i see are blue tildes
[07:00] <intuos_pen> this is a very trivial question and I don't intend to revive religious wars, which is lighter, robust and much more stable on laptops, gnome on ubuntu or kde on kubuntu?
[07:00] <eobanb_> bjron, it is, in fact, all that the upgrade manager basically does.
[07:00] <eobanb_> intuos_pen, purely subjective
[07:00] <nickrud> bjron, can't you simply write that iso to a cd; loading that cd should ask you to upgrade to dapper
[07:01] <bjron> eobanb, cool, thanks :)
[07:01] <eobanb_> intuos_pen, if you're looking for a 'lighter' desktop environment, might i recommend trying xubuntu instead
[07:01] <szming> Hello
[07:01] <eobanb_> welcome, szming
[07:01] <hegemon> must have printing capability.
[07:01] <szming> Tnank
[07:01] <PPJJ> eobanb; it appears completel blank minus blue tildes going down the side
[07:01] <bjron> nickrud, I could, but kinda a waste of a CD
[07:01] <bjron> unless I have my rewritable one around here somewhere . . .
[07:01] <eobanb_> PPJJ, it's /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[07:01] <eobanb_> PPJJ, is that what file you're editing?
[07:01] <PPJJ> yeah i know
[07:01] <PPJJ> yessir
[07:02] <nickrud> bjron, I'm not sure if you can use a loop mounted iso to upgrade from; you might want to ask on #ubuntu+1
[07:02] <eobanb_> PPJJ, i'm going to have to ask you to double check
[07:02] <Zane42> I just got Ubuntu installed but I have a couple of questions.
[07:02] <intuos_pen> eobanb_: xubuntu is indeed light, but i wonder if it's good for laptop (like can i expect it to automatically launch gthumb and import photos from my digital camera like gnome on ubuntu does?).
[07:02] <eobanb_> Zane42, go ahead and just ask
[07:02] <ToHellWithGA> eobanb: the info from !sound has my sound running now, but the mixer is cryptic
[07:02] <PPJJ> actually i didnt do capitalized X
[07:02] <Zane42> 1.  I can't seem to watch videos.
[07:02] <ToHellWithGA> is there any way to re-label the mixer controls?
[07:02] <bjron> nickrud, mb I'll just give it a shot and see :)
[07:02] <PPJJ> ill trythat
[07:02] <eobanb_> PPJJ, on ext3, capitalisation matters.
[07:03] <eobanb_> !tell Zane42 about restricted
[07:03] <Zane42> I assume I need to get a codec
[07:03] <eobanb_> read what ubotu just sent you, Zane42
[07:03] <PPJJ> how the heck do get out of vi
[07:03] <PPJJ> nm
[07:03] <eobanb_> PPJJ, :q! to quit without saving, ZZ to quit with saving
[07:03] <PPJJ> or alt f4 ;p
[07:03] <Chad> Gah, so hard to setup a modem in linux >_>
[07:03] <intuos_pen> PPJJ: press esc several times and type q! on the ":" prompt.
[07:03] <eobanb_> PPJJ, if you dont know how to use vi then use nano
[07:04] <ToHellWithGA> is !sound the only info on sound setup available here?
[07:04] <eobanb_> ToHellWithGA, i dont know of a way to re-label the mixer controls without recompiling that part of gnome, sorry
[07:05] <lwizardl> can ubuntu be used in that way ?
[07:05] <PPJJ> alright, found the xorg.conf
[07:05] <eobanb_> lwizardl, in what way
[07:05] <ToHellWithGA> ok thanks eobanb
[07:05] <lwizardl> can someone help me with figuring how I can have this. I'm wanting to have 2 pcs running in a retail store type setup (inventory management, print sales receipts, etc)  1 the main backend server running everything. and 1 front end terminal pulling the information from the backend server and updating as needed
[07:05] <ToHellWithGA> i'll keep fishing
[07:05] <eobanb_> lwizardl, okay....
[07:05] <Zane42> Ok thanks...
[07:05] <naut> ok, I've installed ubuntu breezy from cd, done apt-get install gcc and gdb, and I still don't have basic c libraries like stdio.h or stdlib.h.  IS there one target that will get all this sort of stuff on for me?
[07:06] <eobanb_> naut, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[07:06] <Zane42> 2.  I have a geoforce card with 2 video outputs...  Only one is currently working.
[07:06] <naut> cheers
[07:06] <Zane42> Any ideas?
[07:06] <PPJJ> boom
[07:06] <PPJJ> eobanb; it's xorg's device is my pci card, i guess that is it
[07:06] <naut> eobanb_, that;s why irc is better than google :)
[07:06] <PPJJ> as opposed to my 7900gt
[07:06] <PPJJ> which the monitors on
[07:06] <eobanb_> PPJJ, you might just want to try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg instead of manually editing your xorg.conf
[07:06] <PPJJ> k
[07:06] <eobanb_> PPJJ, well i dont know your exact setup
[07:07] <daveCB> how do i get ubuntu connect to a windows PC ?
[07:07] <eobanb_> PPJJ, if you have two cards then ubuntu is perhaps trying to use the other card

[07:07] <PPJJ> eo; yep looks like that, its using my first nic also
[07:07] <intuos_pen> lwizardl: LAMP comes to mind.
[07:07] <eobanb_> now, daveCB, can you re-phrase your question?
[07:07] <lwizardl> lamp ?
[07:08] <daveCB> eobanb,  i wan to use a windows cpu connected to a ubuntu cpu
[07:08] <PPJJ> in what way
[07:08] <core__> he wants to connect two computers one with ubuntu the opther one with windows xp
[07:08] <eobanb_> daveCB, 'connected' in what way? do you want to set up a network share?
[07:08] <daveCB> yeah
[07:08] <intuos_pen> lwizardl: Linux, Apache, MySQL, (php, perl, python).
[07:08] <eobanb_> daveCB, then that's what you should have said.  dont worry, that's easy to do, with samba.
[07:08] <eobanb_> daveCB, are the two computers already on the same network?
[07:09] <intuos_pen> lwizardl: in our case, it could be UAMP.
[07:09] <PPJJ> samba a pcanywhere clone?
[07:09] <intuos_pen> PPJJ: no.
[07:09] <eobanb_> PPJJ, no.
[07:09] <daveCB> yeap
[07:09] <Arc> can someone please help me recover my original Mac bootloader?  ubuntu has broken my G4
[07:09] <lwizardl> intuos_pen, ok so basically all i need to do is set it up like a webserver and then use like http://localhost/ on the front end ?
[07:09] <intuos_pen> Arc: can you call apple support?
[07:09] <mediated> Hello.  I'm using firestarter.  I'm trying to share my ath0 over my eth0.  It says my eth0 device is "not ready".  How do i make my device ready?
[07:10] <core__> according to the ubuntu the topic related to davecb's problem is a mess
[07:10] <intuos_pen> lwizardl: that's one of the option.
[07:10] <Arc> intuos_pen: why should it be apple's problem, ubuntu is what broke it
[07:10] <lwizardl> intuos_pen, is there a better way ?
[07:10] <PPJJ> pebcak.
