[12:01] <x386> is there a way around this?
[12:01] <ruben-> What package do I have to install to have "su-to-root" on my system?
[12:01] <mjrclark> phixnay; My crontab worked without adding crond to that locatio (or any other)
[12:01] <HymnToLife> phixnay, no, the cron daremon is run automatically
[12:01] <ockie> im still quite new at this, so I might be wrong. but i checked my device manager and it doesn't state my ethernet card under the list. instead is shows "CK804 Ethernet Controller, supposedly PCI, and as networking Interface devide and vendor say Unknown. Im using my mobo's buil-in card (K8N Diamond)
[12:01] <HymnToLife> ubotu, tell ruben- about root | ruben-, see the private message from ubotu.
[12:01] <Almindor> laters
[12:01] <Frogzoo> ruben-: you don't want to do that
[12:01] <magic_ninja> is there a good command-line mp3 player that suppoorts lage m3u files and random
[12:01] <ruben-> Frogzoo: Then I wouldn't have asked
[12:01] <royel> phixnay: there is no difference using halt or shutdown -h,  shutdown give a broadcasted message whereas halt does not
[12:02] <betatux> phixnay, you must not add crond to startup programs in session , cron is started when you're system boots , /etc/init.d/cron restart
[12:02] <mjrclark> ruben; if sudo -s does not work, maybe it is fakeroot
[12:02] <Frogzoo> ruben-: sudo -i
[12:02] <phixnay> cool, ok thanks
[12:02] <ruben-> Thanks both.
[12:02] <royel> phixnay: for example, if you have multiple users connected to that machine, using "shutdown -h" will send everyone a message that the system is going down"
[12:02] <compengi> can i check netstats for a specific user without logging in to that user?
[12:03] <phixnay> royel: sounds like a fun thing to do to a network if you're the admin. The system is going down NOW!
[12:03] <royel> phixnay: lol
[12:03] <royel> phixnay: it's even more fun not sending them the message :)
[12:04] <ruben-> mjrclark, Frogzoo: Can I make it prompt an input for a user, in GUI, not console?
[12:04] <ockie> royel: im still quite new at this, so I might be wrong. but i checked my device manager and it doesn't state my ethernet card under the list. instead is shows "CK804 Ethernet Controller, supposedly PCI, and as networking Interface devide and vendor say Unknown. Im using my mobo's buil-in card (K8N Diamond)
[12:04] <phixnay> royel: ok, is there anyway I could make cron say something like "Do you want to shutdown now [Y/n] ?" and time out in 10 seconds?
[12:04] <Frogzoo> ruben-: running gui as root is a bad idea
[12:05] <royel> phixnay: I'm sorry, your asking the wrong person :(
[12:05] <redbox> how can I tell if the ubuntu time zone change patch is compatible with 5.1 ?
[12:05] <phixnay> ok, I'll see if anyone else knows
[12:05] <royel> phixnay: I would guess it's possible, but sounds more like a script function call or something
[12:05] <phixnay> yeah
[12:05] <ruben-> Frogzoo: It's to run a vpn client.
[12:05] <phixnay> maybe that function is build into shutdown though
[12:05] <phixnay> maybe not
[12:06] <Orfeous> what X-server is fastest? my seems to be very slow.
[12:06] <phixnay> anyone: is there anyway I could make cron say something like "Do you want to shutdown now [Y/n] ?" and time out in 10 seconds?
[12:06] <betatux> phixnay , you can't send input to a cronjob when it executes
[12:06] <Orfeous> how can i see what X-server i am using?
[12:06] <redbox> phixnay: write a shell script that cron runs and sends to stout
[12:06] <redbox> stdout*
[12:07] <WhsteverCreamsYo> dal.net
[12:07] <seamus7> Why won't my Windows partition (which I've set to noauto) show up in 'Places' after I mount it?
[12:07] <betatux> Orfeous, Xorg -version
[12:07] <phixnay> ok how about this: how do I safely turn cron off if I don't want it to execute the command this time?
[12:08] <betatux> phixnay, you can stop cron by typing : sudo /etc/init.d/cron stop , BUT , it's not recommended because other programs rely on cron
[12:08] <RkyRaccoon55> i am having some serious trouble getting my graphics drivers to work
[12:08] <RkyRaccoon55> can anybody here help me out?
[12:09] <betatux> phixnay, type : man at
[12:09] <Spartacus> How do I get the Nick list to show with Xchat? ;)
[12:09] <redbox> where can I see the security patches released by ubuntu?
[12:09] <Frogzoo> ruben-: ssh
[12:09] <malik> can any one help me install creative pd0040 webcam?.......i have tried all the wiki pages but i cant seem to have it working.......i will gladly pay for the help
[12:10] <phixnay> alright, I'll give "at" a try

[12:10] <Spartacus> anyone know how I can make the nick/member list show?

[12:12] <thmo> my ubuntu just went down, crashed, and now i can't get into my bios for some odd reasson, is this a know issue? it's a laptop
[12:12] <thmo> i get a grub error 22
[12:12] <mzanfardino> I'm interested in using my Fujitsu 4120C scanner.  It's a USB scanner, and I can see the device with xsane.  I can initiate a scan, but it will time out after 10-15 seconds... Anyone have any thoughts/direction?
[12:12] <inono> how do you get manpages for common C library functions like connect, bind, fprintf, etc?
[12:13] <puki> hi
[12:13] <Cdeszaq> thmo: There should be no reason not to get into your bios, especially if you get a grub error
[12:13] <thmo> normaly i have no problems, but seems like grub takes complete control, even though it registers that the bios butten has been bpressed
[12:13] <rapid> puki: don't they should up "man fprintf"
[12:14] <compengi> can i check netstats for a specific user without logging in to that user?
[12:14] <thmo> Cdeszaq what i thought, but it just skips pass it, even when it knows ive pressed the button
[12:14] <inono> How do i get manpage for strlen ??
[12:15] <rapid> inono, same way as you would with any other man page.
[12:15] <thmo> says entering blablabla, then goes to grub :(
[12:15] <sijmen> Anyone knows a good gnome rsync client?
[12:15] <sijmen> *app

[12:18] <Turgon> One of the very few things I miss since I moved from Windows is the option to organise current windows in a mosaic. Is there a way to do this in Ubuntu? Thanks for your time.
[12:19] <betatux> compengi, what do you mean by netstats ? the output of the command netstat ?
[12:19] <mykhul> what can i use for scping files in gnome?
[12:19] <compengi> betatux, yes
[12:19] <mzanfardino> Mightn't someone know of a channel on which I can discuss my scanning issue?  I've exhausted my research and was hoping for some live help...
[12:20] <Cdeszaq> Turgon: I believe Beryl has a plugin that can do this
[12:20] <mcphail> mykhul: nautilus?
[12:20] <psykidellic> Hello all, been working with a new Ubuntu 6.1 heavily from yesterday (shifted to full time Linux and Mac after being a Windows user till one week back) and playing around with it, trying to compile mysql, php, apache and in general playing with Synaptic Manager and apt-get and I absolutely love it. Thank you for Ubuntu!
[12:20] <betatux> compengi, well , you could do : sudo netstat -apltne | grep "USERID"
[12:20] <madd_matt> Does the ubuntu installer come with anything like VNC so I can help my friend do her install?
[12:20] <compengi> betatux, okay, thanks
[12:21] <Turgon> Cdeszaq : thx, I'll try it then next time I have some free time for tweaking :-)
[12:21] <betatux> madd_matt, system->preferences->Remote Desktop
[12:21] <mykhul> mcphail, how do i install it?
[12:21] <Mixx> madd_matt it is called Terminal Server Client
[12:22] <madd_matt> Well i need a server on the installer -- A client won't help
[12:22] <mcphail> mykhul: nautilus is the default file browser in gnome.
[12:22] <mykhul> oh!
[12:22] <Mixx> madd_matt it is called Terminal Server Client you use that to connect, as betatux said, the server is under sys/pregs/rd
[12:22] <mykhul> i meant how to i scp files to a remote host?
[12:22] <mykhul> i don't use ftp with my freebsd servers
[12:22] <betatux> madd_matt, Remote Desktop enables a terminal server server
[12:23] <mcphail> mykhul: type "ssh://user@location" into the address bar then drag and drop
[12:23] <toulouse> hi, does anyone here know how i can use Mac OS X under ubuntu on an amd machine??
[12:23] <madd_matt> toulouse, you mean in an emulator/ virtual machine?
[12:24] <toulouse> yes
[12:24] <toulouse> like qemu i guess?
[12:24] <mykhul> thank you mcphail, you taught me a great trick! <3
[12:24] <schwachs> i am running ubuntu in vmware but when i check my /proc/cpu it's only showing 1 cpu...
[12:24] <mcphail> mykhul: :)
[12:24] <schwachs> is there something i need to change?
[12:24] <Frogzoo> toulouse: you need an intel version of MacOS X, that will run under vmware, or qemu
[12:25] <schwachs> (er to recognize my c2duo)
[12:25] <psykidellic> since this topic has come up, which OS emulator do you think is the best for Linux? I use Parallels on my MacBook....
[12:25] <betatux> toulouse, read : http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Vmware_how_to
[12:25] <toulouse> Frogzoo: what about pearpc? does that work
[12:25] <madd_matt> toulouse, pearpc isn't as good as the link betatux sent you.
[12:25] <adaminla> i have a new ipod nano. do i have to format it via win fat 32 before i can use it with daper?
[12:26] <madd_matt> adaminla, that would be recommended, but you can use a mac formatted one with linux too.
[12:26] <toulouse> ok, but i do have a legit copy and dont really like the idea of ripping off apple, i will need to get an x86 copy though?
[12:26] <mcphail> adaminla: are you sure it isn't fat32 already?
[12:27] <adaminla> no, but i just took it out of the box
[12:27] <mcphail> adaminla: i bought an iPod shuffle recently, and it was fat32 formatted
[12:28] <piro> does anyone here have a hotswap sata array working?
[12:28] <adaminla> cool, but i'm still a bit of a newb. how do i check this?
[12:29] <adaminla> is there a web page some where with the info i need?
[12:30] <trav> hey how do i set up evolution, skipping pas the email set up, since it doesn't work for yahoo?
[12:30] <Mixx> mcphail that is a neat trick
[12:31] <betatux> trav , create a dummy email address ? and continue .... ?
[12:31] <trav> oh
[12:31] <trav> ok
[12:31] <betatux> trav , i have no experience with evolution , i'm using thunderbird
[12:32] <mcphail> Mixx: makes life easier at times, doesn't it?
[12:32] <trav> well see i was using kontact before i switched to GNOME, what is the GNOME equivilent of kontact?
[12:32] <Dritzen> I'm trying to run SimCity 3000 Unlimited but keep getting errors about not being able to find libraries such as this error
[12:32] <Dritzen>  LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.2 /usr/local/games/SC3U/sc3u
[12:32] <Dritzen> /usr/local/games/SC3U/sc3u: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[12:33] <betatux> trav , i've no idea , gnome user here
[12:33] <Dritzen> Even if I put it in /usr/local/games/SC3U/lib  it doesn't seem to find it,  the file is in /lib
[12:33] <HymnToLife> Dritzen, interesting, where did you get it from ?
[12:33] <macd> trav, Evolution is.
[12:33] <trav> ok
[12:33] <trav> thanks
[12:33] <Dritzen> I bought it a long while ago, it's a Loki game but loki went out of business
[12:33] <Dritzen> Just trying to get it to run :\
[12:34] <trav> macd: how do i use evolutions calender and appt. features?
[12:34] <CaptSaltyJack> hey all.. quick Q.  you know how in programs like Gaim, if someone msg's you and their chat window is not active, it glows in the taskbar??  with the Emerald theme I'm using.. it's barely noticeable.. glows from like black to grey.  how do i change that setting so it glows  a diff color?
[12:34] <macd> trav, open the program and use them.
[12:34] <macd> CaptSaltyJack, ask in #ubuntu-effects
[12:34] <CaptSaltyJack> will do, thanks.
[12:35] <Dritzen> I used the latest patch for Simcity 3000 but I just can't seem to get it to run
[12:35] <dmb062082> hey what was the work around for wp_tray?
[12:35] <royel> Dritzen: just hit yourself in the head with a brick an pretend that it was SimCity that made your head hurt, this way you'll save yourself hours an get the same results :)
[12:35] <Landon> Hey all, do you guys know the command to start fluxbox? I've sudo apt-get installed fluxbox, then restarted X, yet still nothing happens
[12:35] <Dritzen> Royel: haha, I may just give up and play lincity or something
[12:35] <CaptSaltyJack> Landon: did you change your session to fluxbox at the login screen?
[12:35] <Dritzen> Landon:  Have you tried startx ?
[12:35] <joevandyk> Orders have a billing_address_id and a shipping_address_id.  Those ids reference an Address ID.  Every order should have a unique billing_address_id and a shipping_address_id -- they should never be repeated.  What would that database constraint look like.
[12:36] <CaptSaltyJack> Landon.. at the login screen, click "Session" and choose Fluxbox.
[12:36] <joevandyk> In other words, a given Address ID should only appear once in a Order
[12:36] <joevandyk> in  either the billing or shipping address id
[12:36] <Landon> CaptSaltyJack: Thanks, I'll try that, but after I restarted X, the screen went black where my login should have been
[12:36] <trav> macd: im currently looking at the page where i create the POP and i just entered a string of random numbers to get to teh calender- but could i just open straight into the calender?
[12:36] <joevandyk> I don't want to have an Address be both a shipping and billing address -- and I don't want to allow an Address to be used by two different Orders
[12:36] <y0hm> what is a good virus scanner for ubuntu/debian  for scanning windows files ?
[12:36] <Landon> CaptSaltyJack: So I just typed in my username
[12:37] <macd> trav, next time you open the program it will go into the main view.
[12:37] <Landon> Dritzen: What's that?
[12:37] <CaptSaltyJack> hmm, weird
[12:37] <joevandyk> damn it, wrong channel
[12:37] <betatux> y0hm, clamav
[12:37] <Dritzen> Landon:  from a command line, startx is the command to get XWindows running.  But do what they said earlier, change your session to fluxbox
[12:37] <trav> oh
[12:37] <trav> ok
[12:37] <Landon> Dritzen: Alright then, brb
[12:37] <Crescendo> How much trouble will I get in if I disable, after using for a good while, backports and proposed updates?
[12:38] <CaptSaltyJack> hey, how do I make it so when i hit ctrl+alt+del, it brings up the window that asks if you want to logout/shutdown/reboot/etc
[12:38] <y0hm> beta , I tried clamav a few weeks ago , but it was unable to scan rar3 archives , and I have quite a lot of those !
[12:38] <mcphail> CaptSaltyJack: install windows :)
[12:39] <CaptSaltyJack> har har
[12:39] <CaptSaltyJack> Kubuntu has it set up that way
[12:39] <Mesh> hello
[12:39] <CaptSaltyJack> ok answer me this, is there any key shortcut?
[12:39] <CaptSaltyJack> i don't care what it is really
 ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-- password is 'root'
[12:39] <CaptSaltyJack> could be <Super>Delete for all i care
[12:39] <AndrewB> CaptSaltyJack: hit the power button? that works
[12:39] <CaptSaltyJack> nah, something keyboard controlled..
[12:39] <Cdeszaq> How is the best way to download all/most multimedia codecs?
[12:39] <seamus7> why does Nautilus display my external USB hard drives even when they're not mounted??
[12:39] <AndrewB> CaptSaltyJack: in the preferences there is a key shortcut thing.
[12:39] <CaptSaltyJack> which prefs?
[12:39] <Mesh> would someone here happen to know why a ubuntu pc with 2 nic has both invert their ip config randomly ?
[12:40] <mcphail> CaptSaltyJack: you can set shortcuts from the system -> prefernces menu
[12:40] <CaptSaltyJack> ok.
[12:40] <AndrewB> CaptSaltyJack: sorry can't check only in VT just now..
[12:40] <gemini9> i am using firefox browser on kubuntu, -how can i view frames on www.ytmnd.com?
[12:40] <CaptSaltyJack> ahh ok.
[12:40] <CaptSaltyJack> i see it
[12:40] <AndrewB> :)
[12:41] <CaptSaltyJack> btw.. the guys in #ubuntu-effects sent me back here :)  about changing the glow/flash color of taskbar window icons. they said it has nothing to do w/ Beryl
[12:41] <CaptSaltyJack> it's a GTK setting
[12:41] <Dritzen> Cdeszaq:  If you install VLC, it has most codecs already built in
[12:41] <Mesh> both nics work just fine, but some times when I boot  I find their ip has been inverted
[12:41] <y0hm> betatux : is that a clamav limitation (unable to scan rar's ) that you know of , or was I perhaps doing something wrong ? I could scan all other files.
[12:42] <seamus7> Cdeszaq: follow the directions for installing the codecs on the unofficial guides... like for instance http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Edgy#Multimedia_Players_.26_Browser_Plug-ins
[12:42] <betatux> y0hm, i'm not sure but i do know that you explicitly have to add an option to the clamav virusscanner telling it to scan archives , but i'm not sure if rar3 is supported , zip/rar/tar.gz etc are supported for sure
[12:42] <CaptSaltyJack> so, when a person in a chat window (that's not active) msg's me and the taskbar flashes a certain color..how do I change that color?
[12:43] <mcphail> y0hm: did you use the "--unrar" flag?
[12:44] <Meshi> I guess noone knows
[12:44] <dmb062082> arg jimmey are you around?
[12:44] <seamus7> Why would my file system browse (nautilus) list my external USB hard drives when they're not mounted yet it won't list my unmounted Windows partition???
[12:44] <dmb062082> I Need that work around for wp_tray
[12:44] <pavs> how to chat with another user in bash shell
[12:44] <y0hm> mcphail : so , with --unrar it temporarily unrars it & then scans it ?
[12:44] <mcphail> y0hm: that's what the man page suggests...
[12:45] <mcphail> y0hm: i don't have any .rars to try
[12:45] <betatux> !talk | pavs
[12:45] <lumination> what's up guys... my /media/cdrom shortcut is setup to /dev/hda, and I'm seeing no /dev/hda device, or any hdX device whatsoever, because my internal drives are SATA, and then I have an external at /dev/sdb, but no /dev/sdc... any clues as to what's going on here?  it doesn't show up in my hardware information either

[12:46] <ted_> Hi. I am experiencing some weird behaviopur with my mounted drives (drives being accessible, writable etc but not listed as mounted drives!!). What useful commands are there, other than 'mount', that I could use to diagnose?
[12:47] <bofh80> HI people
[12:47] <royel> lumination: what does: sudo mount  output?
[12:47] <trins> did anyone install the intel c++ 9.01.046 "non-comercial" or other version in edgy ?

[12:48] <CorpseFeeder> uninstalling bittorrent has somehow destroyed my java installation and re-installing bittorrent and java does not fix the problem. Is anyone able to determine from this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6959/ which component of java is missing which I need to re-install?
[12:48] <wolfdart> betatux, oh! ok...
[12:48] <lumination> (new install--no bookmarks until I go to del.icio.us)
[12:48] <AndrewB> Cdeszaq: go for a restart  it will fix that.
[12:48] <wolfdart> betatux, tks for info!

[12:49] <bofh80> agahahah. got it.. .
[12:49] <pavs> show I should typ sudo apt-get install talk?
[12:49] <ted_> In my fstab I have this entry : "/dev/hdh1       /home/ted/Mounts/IDE_Slave     reiserfs user,auto,(rw)     0       0". If I navigate to home/ted/Mounts/IDE_Slave, my data is there. But when I execute 'mount' or use Disk Manager, the partition is listed as not being mounted? What gives?
[12:49] <betatux> wolfdart, you're welcome
[12:50] <wolfdart> =)
[12:50] <betatux> pavs, yes and i think you also need talkd
[12:50] <TashKavarish> this computer has two network cards, both are configured with fixed ips in different subnets, they work fine but sometimes after a reboot the ip configurations are inverted. how do I prevent this ?
[12:51] <ted_> I just want to check - does anyone see this text? My name appears in purple < > whereas everyone else is in blue?
[12:51] <AndrewB> ted_: yes.
[12:51] <royel> ted_: if your data is there as expected, what exactly is the problem?
[12:51] <betatux> TashKavarish, are both network cards identical ? same brand and type etc ?
[12:51] <sijmen> My console font is kinda big. Can I change it without a kernel rebuild?
[12:51] <TashKavarish> no, one is integrated onboard, the other is a pci gigabit nic, netgear ga311 if im not mistaken
[12:51] <ted_> royel: because I want to understand things. How can my data be there if mount reports the device as not being mounted?
[12:51] <AndrewB> sijmen: yes it is set in the grub config iirc
[12:51] <DJ_Sim> hi
[12:51] <lumination> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6960/
[12:52] <ted_> AndrewB: thanks
[12:52] <AndrewB> sijmen: change the res for GRUB to use.
[12:52] <TashKavarish> the reason for having both is the gbit one is with a crossover to my 2nd pc which isnt connected to the router/net
[12:52] <AndrewB> welcome DJ_Sim
[12:52] <royel> ted_: sudo mount ?
[12:52] <betatux> TashKavarish, and the problem is that it gives nic1 the address that nic2 should have and visa versa ?
[12:52] <ted_> royel: same
[12:52] <TashKavarish> yeah they invert their configs, but not always
[12:52] <TashKavarish> some times they keep em, others they dont
[12:52] <royel> ted_: what is the output of that?
[12:52] <betatux> TashKavarish, i've seen that before ... some time ago ...
[12:52] <TashKavarish> if i change em back things work again, but itd be nice to prevent it
[12:53] <TashKavarish> happen to remeber a fix? :)

[12:53] <ted_> royel: several of my mounted drives, plus a few unregognised entries. Too much to copy & paste here though
[12:53] <AndrewB> ted_: use the pastebin
[12:53] <colbert> 3. Look for those packages in /var/cache/apt/archives/ <-- this is from a guide.. what does this mean ??
[12:53] <betatux> TashKavarish, i was in Fedora then , but i think i made an alias in /etc/modules.conf ... alias eth0 <drivername> and alias eth1 <drivername>
[12:54] <lumination> anyway, what's the likelihood of my device being on some other interface?  It's a laptop if that helps... I've tried hdX and sdX
[12:54] <AndrewB> colbert: they are packages downloaded using apt, they are storred there for install. normally so that you dont need to download everytimg you need to reinstall
[12:54] <TashKavarish> err?
[12:54] <betatux> TashKavarish, that way the eth0 and eth1 should never change
[12:55] <CorpseFeeder> anyone here know how to troubleshoot java problems? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6959/

[12:55] <con-man> lolololol
[12:55] <AndrewB> ted_: line 12?
[12:55] <AndrewB> ted_: is line 12 not the line?
[12:56] <TashKavarish> betatux: that file says not to edit directly
[12:56] <ted_> AndrewB: Nope. That is my other SCSI disk. That is OK
[12:56] <colbert> Andre: Plz take a look at http://forum.beryl-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=70&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=330    I am unsure of steps 2 and don't know how to do step 3 (what the command is)
[12:56] <AndrewB> con-man: do not abuse the bot. It is flooding the channel.
[12:56] <con-man> ok
[12:56] <con-man> -_-
[12:56] <betatux> TashKavarish, try /etc/modules
[12:56] <con-man> me in a box /[-_-] \
[12:56] <AndrewB> ted_: hate to say it be try a reboot. May fix the problem.. I once had that.. =/
[12:56] <dmb062082> nm got it hooah
[12:56] <ted_> AndrewB: I am expecting to see 'dev/hdh1 Mounts/IDE_Slave'
[12:56] <lumination> hdh
[12:57] <lumination> Jesus
[12:57] <lumination> lol
[12:57] <lumination> I'm hoping you have some raidage going on
[12:57] <lumination> heh
[12:57] <Carlo> anyone knows how to force gpart to start partition search after a selected cylinder?
[12:57] <ted_> AndrewB: OK, I will give that a try. Although I have rebooted once already but perhaps 2nd time lucky.
[12:57] <AndrewB> who ever had the java error.. you have no main.
[12:57] <TashKavarish> betatux: # Please do not edit this file directly is in /etc/modules what should I use to create those aliases then ?
[12:57] <AndrewB> I think..
[12:58] <royel> ted_: try this: umount  /home/ted/Mounts/IDE_Slave
[12:58] <royel> ted_: see if that actually make your data unavailable
[12:58] <betatux> TashKavarish, /etc/modprobe.d/aliases i think
[12:58] <ted_> royel: "umount: /home/ted/Mounts/IDE_Slave: not mounted"
[12:58] <royel> ted_: might need to use : sudo umount
[12:59] <ted_> royel: yep, I did it with sudo.
[12:59] <royel> ted_: what type of file system is that drive?
[12:59] <colbert> Someone please look at first post here: http://forum.beryl-project.org/viewtopic.php?f=43&t=70&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=330    I am unsure of steps 2 and don't know how to do step 3 (what the command is)
[12:59] <ted_> royel: ResierFS
[12:59] <leopartux> hi  what is the link for ubuntu live cd
[12:59] <TashKavarish> betatux: hmm says command not found
[12:59] <lumination> so if my cd/dvd writer was detected at all at install, there should be a pretty little fstab entry or no?
[12:59] <royel> ted_: mount /dev/hdh1  /home/ted/Mounts/IDE_Slave
[01:00] <royel> ted_: err sudo of course :)
[01:00] <betatux> TashKavarish, sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/aliases
[01:00] <AndrewB> leopartux: http://www.ubuntu.com/products/GetUbuntu/download?action=show&redirect=download
[01:00] <TashKavarish> oh
[01:00] <leopartux> thanks AndrewB
[01:00] <ted_> royel..lol, already treied that :-) But here it is "sudo mount -t reiserfs /dev/hdh1  /home/ted/Mounts/IDE_Slave - - - mount: special device /dev/hdh1 does not exist
[01:00] <ted_> "
[01:01] <AndrewB> colbert: That won't work. The guy has added svn repos to his /etc/apt/source.list which I doubt you have. He has packiges arcived which I doubt you have. it is just how he got it working. I doubt it will work for many others.
[01:01] <lumination> it was /media/cdrom0 heh
[01:01] <lumination> same dev entry tho
[01:01] <lumination> crazy
[01:02] <colbert> AndrewB: ok
[01:02] <TashKavarish> betatux: so I add alias eth0 onboard and alias eth1 netgearga11 to that file ?
[01:02] <TashKavarish> is there something else i need to do like to use those aliases?
[01:02] <betatux> TashKavarish, you must add the correct driver 'onboard' is not a driver
[01:02] <lumination> aight now how do I check to see if DVD and write capabilities are detected?
[01:02] <ted_> AndrewB: royel: thanks for your help. I'm off to bed though. I will have another look at this mystery tomorrow :-)
[01:02] <royel> ted_: IDE drive?
[01:02] <TashKavarish> ah ok
[01:02] <betatux> TashKavarish, do lsmod and read the driver names from that list
[01:03] <ted_> royel: yep - IDE
[01:03] <AndrewB> ted_: np good luck
[01:03] <pavs> ubuntu uses xinetd or inetd? how do I know what ma i using
[01:03] <royel> ted_: sudo modprobe ide-disk
[01:03] <HymnToLife> pavs, inetd only by default
[01:03] <colbert> AndrewB: Here http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=2189174&postcount=10   would that work for me ??
[01:03] <HymnToLife> but you can apt-get install xinetd if you want
[01:04] <lumination> :D
[01:04] <ted_> royel: returns nothing?
[01:04] <lumination> *puppydog eyes*
[01:04] <royel> ted_: dmesg | grep -i hd
[01:04] <mbk^lappy> hello all
[01:04] <AndrewB> I think so colbert try it.
[01:04] <royel> ted_: might need to pastebin that to me
[01:04] <TashKavarish> so if one drive is r8169 i add alias eth1 r8169?
[01:04] <Savage-{> anybody know if ubuntu and linspire are going to change the names of ubuntu and freespire to one name?
[01:04] <betatux> TashKavarish, yes , that's the idea
[01:05] <lumination> why shouldn't you edit the /etc/modules file directly?  are there more dependencies than the initramfs image?
[01:05] <colbert> AndrewB: There's a list of debs there, so the command is: "dpkg -i http://download.tuxfamily.org/3v1deb/pool/edgy/3v1n0/beryl_0.1.5+svn20070117-r2769+3v1ubuntu0_i386.deb"  for example  ??
[01:05] <ted_> royel: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6963/
[01:05] <betatux> Have to go now , night night , hitting the sack
[01:05] <kitche> Savage-{: from what I read they are just sharing technology with each other
[01:05] <TashKavarish> great now i just need to find the 2nd's driver
[01:05] <leopartux> live cd and desktop cd  are same?
[01:05] <foxiness> when i do this mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sda1 it end with  "ext2fs_mkdir: Attempt to read block from filesystem resulted in short read while creating root dir"
[01:05] <TashKavarish> is this temporary or will it stay through a reboot ?
[01:05] <AndrewB> colbert: personally I would downlaod them then dpkg -i [file] .deb
[01:06] <betatux> TashKavarish, it should stay after reboot
[01:06] <TashKavarish> neat, thank you
[01:06] <foxiness> the sda is a usb ext drive
[01:06] <betatux> TashKavarish, best of luck with it , i'm off
[01:06] <leopartux> there are only desktop cd server install cd ann alternate cd
[01:06] <royel> ted_: the Maxtor is your slave?
[01:06] <AndrewB> leopartux: it is not merged with desktop cd
[01:06] <madd_matt> I'm unfamiliar with gnome/ubuntu installer.  How can I describle how to get to network configuration?
[01:06] <CorpseFeeder> java broken - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6959/ - how to fix?
[01:06] <AndrewB> leopartux: it is NOW merged with desktop
[01:06] <ted_> royel: yep
[01:07] <royel> ted_: sudo fdisk /dev/hdh
[01:07] <royel> ted_: then P to print out partitions.. Q once you have identified all the partitions

[01:07] <mbk^lappy> my machine was running ubuntu, in fact for 30 some days just fine, i come home today and the video is all messed up, literally ar right shift for like 4 different bars, I was wondering is there any way to fix this without restarting X, or the machine
[01:08] <AndrewB> !ati | nixnoob
[01:08] <ubotu> nixnoob: please see above

[01:09] <royel> AndrewB: pastebin was being slow for me
[01:10] <AndrewB> heh
[01:10] <ted_> royel: I am confused? I assume you mean because no partitions are listed?
[01:10] <trav> hey so opera doesn't play video on webpages
[01:10] <kitche> royel: that's why you don't use pastebin.com it's sloww use another pastebin
[01:10] <llol> can installing ubuntu on raid thru the Alternate cd be a pain sometimes?
[01:10] <royel> ted_: you have no partitions
[01:10] <royel> kitche: no doubt
[01:10] <CorpseFeeder> kitche: it used to be... I don't know if it still is or how to tell
[01:10] <AndrewB> ted_: do you have files on the hdd?
[01:10] <trav> or myspace, i just get a grey space wherever the bands pages have a music or video player
[01:11] <ted_> royel: Then what is my home/ted/Mounts/IDE_Slave mapped to then?
[01:11] <AndrewB> trav: you need flash

[01:12] <SSKossu> I got a strange install problem, regardless of what I choose as install option I end up with black screen, as if my gfx card would not be properly working, even the CD goes idle as ubuntu has loaded properly. Anyway to fix this?
[01:12] <llol> it tends to cause weird stuff to happen

[01:13] <sgray> xorg.conf help
[01:13] <royel> ted_: my guess is that /home/ted/Mounts/IDE_Slave actually is not a mount, but a directory with actual data at this point.
[01:13] <AndrewB> ted_: I think you have no filesystem..
[01:13] <trav> andrewB: how do i enable the repositories..im looking at the wiki but its not making much sense
[01:13] <AndrewB> yeah

[01:14] <Ireclan> I need to bestow root permissions on a binary. How do I do this?
[01:14] <shatrat> dmb062082, theres a program called istanbul that is pretty popular for that, I havent used it myself though
[01:14] <dmb062082> ok thanks
[01:14] <AndrewB> colbert: sudo dpkg -i [debFile]
[01:14] <shazow> hiya, it seems my script in ~/.xprofile is not loading on startup with kubuntu (worked with other distributions), does *buntu use a different file for loading things on startup and such?
[01:15] <AndrewB> trav: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#Installing_Additional_Software
[01:15] <shatrat> Ireclan, root permissions? or executable permission?
[01:15] <AndrewB> dmb062082: also vnc2swf is another
[01:15] <sgray> envy script will that work with ATI
[01:15] <Ireclan> Root. It needs the root permissions to run in fullscreen.
[01:15] <llol> hey guys on a ubuntu alternate cd when the continue after partitioning the raid drives when the BOOTstrap section begins it lock on console-terminus
[01:15] <AndrewB> Ireclan: man sudo
[01:16] <llol> sgray
[01:16] <shatrat> Ireclan, that sounds bad, you can run it with sudo executablename though
[01:16] <sgray> ya
[01:16] <llol> sgrayi dont remember
[01:16] <quaal> anyone know why when i change my screen resolution (in system/preferences/screen resolution) it doesnt change?
[01:16] <llol> sgray what ubuntu u have
[01:16] <sgray> but envy you run it and it will give you more resolutions right
[01:16] <llol> envy i think is NVidia specific maybe im wrong
[01:17] <Ireclan> shatrat, what do you mean, "That sounds bad,"?
[01:17] <sgray> ubuntu 6.10
[01:17] <llol> ok
[01:17] <sgray> i tried editing the xorg.conf file
[01:17] <sgray> no go
[01:17] <shatrat> Ireclan, well, generally nothing should need to be run as root unless it is modifying some kind of system files or settings or processes
[01:17] <dmb062082> ahh istambul does not work with beryl/xgl =(
[01:18] <llol> well thats if you have a nvidia video card
[01:18] <llol> and the process works
[01:18] <sgray> modeline "1280x768@75" 105.64 1280 1312 1712 1744 768 782 792 807
[01:18] <shatrat> envy works for ati as well
[01:18] <Savage-{> kitche: oh I see
[01:18] <sgray> awesome
[01:18] <Savage-{> kitche: thx
[01:18] <Ireclan> shatrat: so you advise against it? Perhaps knowing the program of which I speak would help?
[01:18] <llol> what kinda card ya got sgray
[01:18] <llol> oh cool
[01:19] <llol> very well done program
[01:19] <sgray> so you just run it and it configures the card while hooked up to a monitor working in a good refresh and res
[01:19] <sgray> ati radeon 9550
[01:19] <llol> it will install a tool for ya
[01:19] <llol> on the applications system tool
[01:19] <sgray> cool
[01:19] <llol> what envy does for ya is get the headers
[01:19] <llol> and other stuff
[01:19] <llol> after that u can get ur own drivers and run in from the command
[01:20] <llol> when u do run the script
[01:20] <Ferret> Ireclan: Given that you said it needed to be root in order to run fullscreen, I would say "that's a load of rubbish"
[01:20] <llol> let it update ur CONF.

[01:23] <Ferret> A needed fsck you didn't do seriously impairs having your computer work at all
[01:23] <mcphail> Ferret: ext3 doesn't need routine checks
[01:23] <sgray> ya what about RAID
[01:23] <mcphail> Ferret: it is an ext2 hangover
[01:24] <Cryoniq> I just ran a electrical consumption analysis on what my box consumes.. heh.. the box (only) is at 138 wh (that is 138 Watt per hour) :P
[01:24] <foxiness> Andrewb,royal,feert and mcphail , thanks a lot guys
[01:24] <shaun_> hey
[01:24] <shaun_> can someone help me get sound working>?
[01:25] <AndrewB> np foxiness
[01:25] <Ferret> mcphail: I didn't realise it took much actual time (a full check?)
[01:25] <Cryoniq> It is on 24/7 so over 9 past months it consumed 696 Kwh :P
[01:25] <Ferret> mcphail: haven't used ext3 in a while. ;p
[01:25] <shaun_> anyone?
[01:25] <James2432> I have a question, is it possible to install UBUNTU in console mode only?
[01:25] <mcphail> Ferret: my 300gig partition takes a while to fsck :)
[01:25] <lazrpark93> How do you change your default media player(s)?
[01:26] <Cryoniq> Buuut... that test was under windows.. so I did it under Ubuntu.. and it consumes 10% less.. hmm.. hmmm...
[01:26] <thmo> anyone know why a grub error 22 would screw up ones bios?
[01:26] <Ferret> mcphail: Yeah, last time I used it was probably a 2G disk ;p
[01:26] <kitche> James2432: with the alternate cd yes
[01:26] <Boxxertrumps> hello
[01:26] <Cryoniq> Anyone got a good explanation for that? :D
[01:26] <Landon> Hey all, how do you make a MP server on you computer using music you already have in folders?
[01:26] <James2432> kitche: where would I find these?
[01:26] <Boxxertrumps> is there any way to install ubuntu without using a boot CD?
[01:26] <L0cKd0wN> ok so for you people with xorg problems....
[01:26] <L0cKd0wN> REFORMAT
[01:26] <L0cKd0wN> it solves everything
[01:26] <L0cKd0wN> :)
[01:27] <Cryoniq> All except a screwdriver through the motherboard :P
[01:27] <kitche> James2432: from the same place that you got the desktop cd
[01:27] <L0cKd0wN> hey i tried here in this room for 3 days with no luck
[01:27] <James2432> kitche: thank you ^_^
[01:27] <L0cKd0wN> it was my last hope obi wan
[01:27] <L0cKd0wN> :P
[01:27] <Cryoniq> But it is allways worth a try :)
[01:27] <Ferret> !netinstall | Boxxertrumps
[01:27] <ubotu> Boxxertrumps: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[01:28] <Boxxertrumps> i dunno, stabbing your motherboard has some thereputic qualities.
[01:28] <Ferret> Landon: What's MP?
[01:28] <lazrpark93> How do I change my default video player to something other than Totem?
[01:28] <Ferret> Landon: Do you mean MPD?
[01:28] <Landon> Ferret: Yeah
[01:29] <Landon> Ferret: I have the clients, but I can't figure out how to put the music on a server
[01:29] <James2432> Would a Dual Xenon processor count as I386?
[01:29] <llol> sgray u still there
[01:29] <Buffalo> I installed ubuntu and i havent network but yesterday on live cd yes, somebody can help me? :S
[01:29] <Cryoniq> Anyway... I was about thinking replacing my thomson 44" widescreen backprojecting TV today with a Panasonic HD Ready 44".. turned out that thing was consuming twice as much.. 280 wh... 0o (just thought I mention it in general interest )
[01:29] <Ferret> Landon: in /etc/mpd.conf (or wherever it is on ubuntu) near the top there'll be an item that tells you where to put music.  You can put the music in there, or symlink to it, or symlink to directories containing it, whatever.
[01:29] <Enselic``> !networking | Buffalo here's a good start
[01:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about networking - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:30] <royel> !offtopic | Cryoniq
[01:30] <Enselic``> !network | Buffalo here's a good start
[01:30] <ubotu> Cryoniq: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[01:30] <ubotu> Buffalo here's a good start: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:30] <Landon> Ferret: Thanks, I'll give it a try
[01:30] <Cryoniq> oh.. sorry :)
[01:30] <Enselic``> Buffalo: ... well that was not good unless you need wireless
[01:30] <llol> why would the debootstrapper fail int eh alternate install cd
[01:30] <llol> ?
[01:30] <llol> any ideas
[01:31] <Ferret> Landon: Then run mpc update; wait for it to finish (running mpc to check), and then you can add it all to a playlist using mpc ls and mpc add (hint: mpc ls somedirectory | mpc add)
[01:32] <Landon> Ferret: How do I run mpc update?
[01:33] <Ferret> Landon: in a terminal.  You might need to install it, it's useful for doing bulk-adding and such ;p
[01:34] <Landon> Thanks Ferret, let me give this a try now
[01:34] <James2432> does anyone know the diffrence between the alternate and the server CD/
[01:34] <James2432> obviously server is for servers...
[01:35] <ytoox_> hey, how do I configure a wireless presenter?
[01:35] <kitche> James2432: by default server cd installs a server kernel
[01:35] <AndrewB> James2432: server will have things like apache mysql php ssh etc  alternative is same[ish]  as desktop cept no GUI install.
[01:35] <madd_matt> Can somebody point out where I could find a terminal emulator on the gnome menus?  I'm trying to help somebody remotely.
[01:35] <James2432> ok thank you ^_^ <3 ubuntu :D
[01:36] <Xzenome> Hi do you guys know of an IRC client for *nix that is like Besirc, HydraIC
[01:36] <ardchoille> madd_matt: Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[01:36] <Xzenome> HydraIRC or MIRC
[01:36] <madd_matt> ardchoille, thanks.
[01:36] <Xzenome> (Sorry about the split message)
[01:36] <madd_matt> Xzenome, i'm partial to xchat.
[01:37] <royel> madd_matt: Applications >Internet >Terminal Server...
[01:37] <owlhoot> Hello, I'm totally new to Ubuntu, and trying to install a binary file in the terminal
[01:37] <AndrewB> Xzenome: hydrairc works on GNU/Linux IIRC
[01:37] <Ferret> Xzenome: Sounds like xchat
[01:37] <Xzenome> I'm using that at the moment, but I prefer the style of MIRC and HydraIRC
[01:37] <Ferret> owlhoot: Can you tell us more about it?  It might turn out you don't need to.
[01:38] <owlhoot> it is a linux version of google earth
[01:38] <ytoox_> hey, how do I configure a wireless presenter?
[01:38] <p0seidon> ??
[01:38] <Xzenome> AndrewB: No, I just checked HydraIRc doesn't work on *nix
[01:38] <AndrewB> !wireless | ytoox_
[01:38] <ubotu> ytoox_: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:38] <kitche> Xzenome: you can install mirc in wine
[01:38] <AndrewB> Xzenome: damn sorry.
[01:38] <royel> Xzenome: real men use irssi :)
[01:38] <ytoox_> ok
[01:39] <dsquare> hi
[01:39] <AndrewB> hello dsquare
[01:40] <royel> !hi | dsquare
[01:40] <ubotu> dsquare: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:40] <owlhoot> ferret, the filename is GoogleEarthLinux.bin, and when I do a sudo it starts the process then says it cant find the file even though i have verified it is in the directory
[01:40] <royel> Xzenome: it's not for girls :)
[01:40] <dsquare> thanks. :)

[01:40] <Gothfunc> hi.  i'm using mixxx, and i'm trying to output the left channel to one device and the right channel for another, but bizarrely, it won't let you do it.  does anyone know how to get around it, or whether there is any other software out there that can output to two devices depending on the channel?
[01:40] <owlhoot> thanks
[01:41] <AndrewB> royel: one of the head devs is a girl.. and she is head of staff on PDPC/Freenode ;)
[01:41] <royel> AndrewB: just dont tell her I said that then :)
[01:41] <Ferret> owlhoot: It might be better for you to read that, the guy on there calls himself new to ubuntu aswell, so he'll probably run into the same issues as you
[01:41] <Snowman3388> anyone want to help me with ubuntu?:D
[01:41] <SoulPropagation> !ask | Snowman3388
[01:41] <ubotu> Snowman3388: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:41] <Ferret> owlhoot: If you have any problems that doesn't help with then please ask in here again with the relevant error messages etc. :)
[01:41] <royel> AndrewB: then again, maybe she wants to be a man! :)
[01:42] <AndrewB> royel: not that I know of ;)  remember there is ubuntu-women too hehe
[01:42] <Ferret> Gothfunc: Make it output to both, and mute the right on one side and mute the left on the other
[01:42] <Ferret> Gothfunc: I doubt you need any extra software to do that, the only hard bit is getting it to duplicate sound on both devices I suspect
[01:42] <AndrewB> Ferret: ick ick LinuxForums.org  :(
[01:43] <Ferret> Gothfunc: Search around? ;)
[01:43] <Xzenome> I it possible to make XChat's layout look like MIRC's? Preferably without compiling and mucking about with the source.
[01:43] <Ferret> AndrewB: It was a highly relevant search result ;)
[01:43] <speck> I installed ubuntu recently and after login only appears a dark screen and a mouse cursor. Please help
[01:43] <drx> Can anyone tell me if there a relatively easy way to install Xen on a Debian (Ubuntu) server?
[01:43] <dimeotane> sometimes when I boot my notebook, sound doesn't work... I try killall esd oss alsa    no change any suggestions?
[01:43] <owlhoot> Thanks ferret, i am checking the posts out now
[01:43] <Snowman3388> I'm new to linux, I was running ubuntu on one hard drive and had windows on another with a third storage drive.  I'm running off the live cd right now and I can't figure out how to mount my linux drive to access my /etc/fstab file
[01:43] <Ferret> Xzenome: Don't be afraid of new things.  you'll get the hang of it soon enough, it's easy.
[01:43] <Gothfunc> Ferret: it won't actually let you assign more than one device, even though it has a device allocation for each channel.  i have googled this and no one seems to want to output to two channels, which to me is weird!
[01:43] <SoulPropagation> How come ubuntu's default interface is so... earthy?
[01:44] <dimeotane> brown is in
[01:44] <dimeotane> I'm tired of techno ipod white
[01:44] <Xzenome> Ferret: I live to be able to see all of the channels at the same time.
[01:44] <dimeotane> silver and black
[01:44] <AndrewB> Snowman3388: sudo mkdir /media/hdd       sudo mount /dev/[what ever]  /media/hdd    cd /media/hdd
[01:44] <ldejan> anyone who can recommend a nice desktop? (currently using fvwm-crystal)
[01:44] <AndrewB> ldejan: gnome
[01:44] <bruenig> xfce is fun
[01:45] <Snowman3388> that's the problem I don't know which drive it is
[01:45] <Smiley> hi guys, my laptop died, i just found a old cd, 6.06. can i install it and update it online once its installed?
[01:45] <Cowlens> is there anything aside from WINE that can run MS Office?
[01:45] <Xzenome> Smiley: Yes.
[01:45] <bruenig> !upgrading | Smiley, yes you can
[01:45] <ubotu> Smiley, yes you can: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:45] <Snowman3388> crossover?
[01:45] <kitche> Cowlens: yes but hte other two costs money
[01:45] <AndrewB> Snowman3388: ok do sudo fdisk /dev/hda   hit p   do you see an ext3 drive?
[01:45] <SoulPropagation> dimeotane: that's not the popular opinion. faik ubuntu isn't designed with iconoclasts in mind
[01:45] <Xzenome> Smiley: Just type "sudo update-manager -c"
[01:45] <Cowlens> kitche, oic! whay are their names?
[01:45] <AndrewB> Cowlens: try an alternative.. OpenOffice.
[01:45] <ardchoille> ldejan: I would recommend Fluxbox, hwoever, no one except you can choose what works best for you :) Try them all and choose one.
[01:46] <Cowlens> *what
[01:46] <kitche> crossover and cedega
[01:46] <speck> I installed ubuntu recently and after login only appears a dark screen and a mouse cursor. Please help
[01:46] <Landon> Ferret: It won't let me copy music into the folder
[01:46] <mossy> hi
[01:46] <SoulPropagation> AndrewB: That's not what he was asking
[01:47] <bruenig> !hi | mossy
[01:47] <ubotu> mossy: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:47] <Xzenome> speck: You've already asked once and without more detail we don't know the cause. Sorry.
[01:47] <AndrewB> SoulPropagation: what who was asking?
[01:47] <Ferret> Gothfunc: Bit of a tough one to search for that
[01:47] <SoulPropagation> AndrewB: Cowlens' question.. maybe he prefers and/or needs MSO
[01:47] <Ferret> Gothfunc: have you tried asking in #alsa ?
[01:47] <mossy> sorry, is somewhere any polish channel about ubuntu, because my English is not well ??
[01:47] <Gothfunc> Ferret: good idea, cheers :)#
[01:47] <Snowman3388> I don't think it's hda Andrew
[01:47] <SoulPropagation> !pl | mossy
[01:47] <ubotu> mossy: Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[01:47] <bruenig> !pl | mossy
[01:47] <AndrewB> SoulPropagation: well i apologise for trying to promote Free Software.
[01:48] <dmb062082> ahh last question... the cool kicker launcher for gnome, how do i get it...
[01:48] <AndrewB> Snowman3388: try hdb  hdc  etc  if it is scsi or sata it will be  sda  sdb sdc etc
[01:48] <Cowlens> yup, i need to run msoffice 2003 on edgy, what are the other software that can run it aside from WINE
[01:48] <mossy> how can I change this channel for #ubuntu-pl ??
[01:48] <Ferret> Landon: You probably need permissions to put files there; what does 'ls -ld /blah/blah' (whatever the music directory is) tell you?
[01:48] <dmb062082> i.e. the applications/main menu
[01:48] <AndrewB> mossy: /join #ubuntu-pl
[01:49] <Ferret> Cowlens: Other programs based on wine
[01:49] <Xzenome> I have a load of "quick buttons" on my laptop, is there a program I can use to detect which one is pressed and then map a command to it.
[01:49] <dmb062082> cowlens" xoveroffice and vmware ha
[01:49] <Snowman3388> it's ide
[01:49] <SoulPropagation> AndrewB: that's not my point, my point was this isn't the time
[01:49] <mossy> thx :)
[01:49] <bruenig> SoulPropagation, a lot of people don't know of the alternatives, I had someone in here trying to get me to help them install crossover because they wanted to burn a cd, and they only knew windows
[01:49] <SoulPropagation> Xzenome: yes, system > prefs > kb shortcuts
[01:49] <AndrewB> SoulPropagation: well I _DID_ apologise. Chill.
[01:49] <Ferret> Xzenome: What's your desktop environment?
[01:49] <royel> Snowman3388: sudo dmesg | grep -i hd
[01:49] <Xzenome> gdm
[01:49] <orangefly> can anyone help with gl desktop crashing....???....
[01:50] <SoulPropagation> AndrewB: I'm not upset, just trying to explain my point
[01:50] <dmb062082> how do i implement the newer gnome main menu?
[01:50] <Landon> Ferret: It is root, is there a way to unlock root in the file manager so I can just cut and paste my music?
[01:50] <bruenig> dmb062082, by newer you mean slab?
[01:50] <yettenet> Can anyone help me with tron?
[01:50] <dmb062082> yes
[01:50] <yettenet> I want to run amarok at a specified time, but it doesn't want to
[01:50] <dimeotane> how can i reset the sound in my notebook... any suggestions?
[01:50] <dmb062082> this bruenig: http://reverendted.files.wordpress.com/2006/06/screenshot-gnome-main-menu-favorite-apps.png
[01:50] <owlhoot> Ferret, i got it fixed. I changed the permissions, then went into the file manager interface and opened it with the debi package installer. the rest was a snap. Thanks.
[01:50] <Ferret> Xzenome: Probably what SoulPropagation said ... you can check if X can "see" them by running xev and pressing them.  If it doesn't you may need some special driver for that kind of keyboard, which you'll have to search for somehow
[01:51] <yettenet> ubotu: cron
[01:51] <ubotu> cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto  -  There is also a decent Howto at http://www.tech-geeks.org/contrib/mdrone/cron&crontab-howto.htm
[01:51] <ardchoille> yettenet: How are you doing that?
[01:51] <orangefly> can anyone help with gl desktop crashing....???....
[01:51] <Pudduh> Hey guys, quick one this time. Is there a graphical tool which I can use to change permissions on files and drives without having to sudo chmod through the command prompt?
[01:51] <gholen> What the hell is ./psc and why is it using some 94% of my cpu?
[01:51] <Cowlens> AndrewB, its ok.. i like openoffice but most of my officemates are used to MSOffice and there were lots of presentations done in Powerpoint and most of its animations are not in openoffice
[01:51] <AndrewB> Well I have seen your point. SoulPropagation. People do not know they have alternatives. I would rather people knew of them, and did not support multi million poind monopalizing corperations. Your own choice not to let people know of alternatives. I suppose they should just 'know' eh?
[01:51] <yettenet> ardchoille: 30 6 * * * env DISPLAY=0. /usr/bin/amarok
[01:51] <Ferret> Landon: Create a symlink in that directory that points to somewhere you can write to.  For example, I have: "/var/lib/mpd/music -> /usr/local/playlists", and then I have: "drwxrwxr-x 7 root audio 280 2006-11-12 16:15 /usr/local/playlists"
[01:52] <bruenig> dmb062082, that is not the "new gnome menu" unless they did something I didn't read, it is an alternative, This appears to be a howto to get it on ubuntu https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Slab
[01:52] <Smiley> hi guys, my laptop died, i just found a old cd, 6.06. can i install it and update it online once its installed? << sorry if i asked again
[01:52] <Smiley> i just hit install on ubuntu now :)
[01:52] <dmb062082> thanks =)
[01:52] <SoulPropagation> Landon: you don't want to do that -- press alt-f2 and run sudo nautilus
[01:52] <ardchoille> yettenet: If you are attempting to run a GUI app via a cronjob, you need to preceed your command with "env DISPLAY=:0.". Like this: 00 04 * * * env DISPLAY=:0.  command
[01:52] <SoulPropagation> Smiley: yes
[01:52] <yettenet> Oh
[01:53] <yettenet> I missed the ":"
[01:53] <yettenet> Damn
[01:53] <yettenet> :)
[01:53] <gholen> Smiley: yes, you kan
[01:53] <ardchoille> yettenet: lol
[01:53] <royel> Smiley: yes you can, me personally I would not upgrade, if you mean to a new release, since Dapper (6.06) is teh best release already, IMO :)
[01:53] <Smiley> SoulPropagation: kool, and its simple (im a 2year old gentoo user :))
[01:53] <SoulPropagation> Smiley: just update your sources.list when you're done, then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[01:53] <Cowlens> also, the filter part of excel is somehow has a different display in openoffice when there are images embeded in the cells.. so thats why somehow, on a need basis, we do still need MSoffice
[01:53] <royel> !upgrade | Smiley
[01:53] <ubotu> Smiley: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:53] <Smiley> i might need help with that later guys, i know how to do stuff in gentoo, is tehre like a conversion guide for ubuntu somehwere?
[01:53] <Ferret> Smiley: You're a two year old gentoo user?  How can you reach the keyboard?  Doesn't it break from the dribbling?
[01:53] <orangefly> i take it this is a lost cause....last try....can anyone help with gl desktop crashing....???....
[01:53] <yettenet> I had the same problem some days ago and as far as I can remember, you were the one who helped me out then as well :)
[01:53] <Smiley> Ferret: :D
[01:54] <yettenet> I knew I was going to reinstall the system so I wrote that line out
[01:54] <yettenet> :)
[01:54] <royel> Ferret: lol, that was mean :)
[01:54] <yettenet> Well, too bad I can't pay attention when I'm too damn tired
[01:54] <Cowlens> dmb062082, xoveroffice and vmware are the names
[01:54] <Cowlens> thanks
[01:54] <Ferret> orangefly: Don't use broken software, I guess? ;P  Sorry, not really helpful
[01:54] <Pudduh> Hey guys, quick one this time. Is there a graphical tool which I can use to change permissions on files and drives without having to sudo chmod through the command prompt?
[01:54] <Ferret> orangefly: You should try to find some kind of error messages, I think
[01:55] <Landon> SoulPropagation: That definitely worked, thanks
[01:55] <orangefly> what do you use with xgl then....???....
[01:55] <gholen> Someone?
[01:55] <Cowlens> hmm... need to restart, updates done
[01:55] <Ferret> Pudduh: Have you tried using your file manager, clicking on files, checking the menus, searching in help?
[01:55] <SoulPropagation> Smiley: 2 years on gentoo and still using a keyboard? I thought you'd have interfaced yourself through the keyboard port using electrical impulses from your tongue
[01:55] <SoulPropagation> Landon: awesome
[01:55] <Smiley> SoulPropagation: i have, cept i've got a cold ;)
[01:55] <Pudduh> Ferret: Well I can't use my file manager because I can't become root in Ubuntu for a start.
[01:56] <SoulPropagation> Smiley: so whenever you try to make an n it comes out as a b
[01:56] <Smiley> buh!
[01:56] <Pudduh> Ferret: I just want to set file permissions in nautilus without having to resort to chmod. Just being blatantly lazy, thats all :)
[01:56] <Ferret> Pudduh: You can run your file manager as root; you open a terminal and type "sudo nautilus"
[01:56] <Pudduh> Ferret: And my laziness has been rewarded! Thanks :D
[01:57] <SoulPropagation> Pudduh: you can also press alt-f2 to bring up a run box
[01:57] <Ferret> Pudduh: Don't forget to be sensible with your root programs ;)
[01:57] <yettenet> ardchoille: It still doesn't work :S
[01:57] <yettenet> Don't know what the problem could be
[01:57] <yettenet> I'm gonna try reinstalling cron :)
[01:57] <Pudduh> Thanks Ferret & Soul ^^
[01:57] <Pudduh> I will! :D
[01:57] <SoulPropagation> no prob Pudduh
[01:58] <Pudduh> Farewell guys! :D
[01:58] <kondor21> well guys, I am still having a problem mounting my hard drive :)  how  many nights running?  learning a lot about linux along the way though hehehe
[01:58] <drkm> I am trying to upload a directory which has other directories with files in them.. is there a way I can upload it via ftp/ncftp which will automatically create the right directories for me?
[01:58] <mikeh0209> why would ones ethernet card loose connectivity when the screensaver starts
[01:58] <SoulPropagation> I just had a bad thought. What happens when someone says "!hi | !hi"
[01:58] <ardchoille> yettenet: Can you paste that one line from your crontab please?
[01:59] <kapnkrunch> is the feisty fawn ready to be downloaded... or better yet, safe?
[01:59] <kitsuneofdoom> I have random core.##### files appearing in my home folder. Do they serve any purpose?
[01:59] <drkm> I am trying to upload a directory which has other directories with files in them.. is there a way I can upload it via ftp/ncftp which will automatically create the right directories for me?
[01:59] <kitche> kapnkrunch: for people that don't know linux very well it's not really safe
[01:59] <Landon> Ferret: My music is the folder, I did mpc update, but do I have to make playlist? Or can I just play songs? If I have to make a playlist, where can I do that at? And if I don't, why won't it show me my music?
[02:00] <Priswell> I'm having trouble installing a network printer. The Printer is on a Windows machine, so I'm trying to install it as a network printer. The print dialog box keeps asking me for a network name and password. To the best of my knowledge, my network doesn't have a password. How do I install this printer?
[02:00] <kapnkrunch> kitche, lol but linux isn't safe for people who don't know linux very well
[02:00] <kondor21> Right, here is my problem.  Apart from the fact I still need to edit my fstab a bit (ignore that bit) I finally managed to mount hdb1 to /home (yipee) however, when it did it it then hid (lost +found?) all my users.
[02:01] <kitche> kapnkrunch: well you have a point there well for people that don't know there way around really well
[02:01] <Landon> Ferret: NVM, figured it out ;)
[02:01] <mikeh0209> why would ones ethernet card loose connectivity when the screensaver starts
[02:01] <Ferret> Landon: yah.  mpc ls == music library, mpc playlist == your playlist.  mpd takes a while to figure out
[02:02] <mangojambo> hey guys ... I want to record some video tutorials, but i dont know what I can to use to do this ...
[02:02] <kondor21> anyone out there good at solving mounting problems?  it is not a windows mount just plain ol ext3
[02:02] <Ferret> Priswell: Then the username should be anonymous and the password blank.
[02:02] <SoulPropagation> kondor: WHat's the problem?
[02:03] <Priswell> Ferret: Thank you!!!!!
[02:03] <Frogzoo> !anyone | kondor21
[02:03] <ubotu> kondor21: 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?
[02:03] <Ferret> Priswell: Don't thank me until it works, my memory ain't great.  Might have to look it up. ;)
[02:03] <mangojambo> I hearded about xvidcap, but it don't record sound, that's true?
[02:03] <mikeh0209> i am trying that question asking philosophy
[02:04] <kondor21> Frogzoo did, no one answered :) so thought I would throw my hand up with an "anyone" sure you understand
[02:04] <kondor21> SoulPropergation  Well, I have got as far as being able to mount hdb1 to my /home  but in doing so it hid all my users.
[02:05] <kitsuneofdoom> I have random core.##### files appearing in my home folder. Do they serve any purpose? I think they are program core dumps, but they take up a lot of space and I'm not sure of their use
[02:05] <Ferret> kondor21: When you mount a partition to a directory, all the files in that directory underneath become inaccessible from that location. ;)
[02:05] <Ferret> kondor21: Unless you mean the partition you mounted there should contain files, but doesn't
[02:05] <kitche> kitsuneofdoom: yea they are core dumps
[02:06] <kitche> kitsuneofdoom: you can delete then if you wish
[02:06] <Frogzoo> kondor21: new mounts overlay the file system at the mount point - you'll need to transfer the users on the root partition over to the new /home
[02:06] <kondor21> Ferret, so I will have to copy them to somewhere and slide the copy over when the new partition is mounted?  or do you think I should mount elsewhere?
[02:07] <Chiaroscuro> 'hah
[02:07] <Chiaroscuro> oops
[02:07] <greenpete> Hi all! Anyone up to helping me mount a FAT32 partition? I have googled and checked the ubuntu till I'm so confuzzed!
[02:07] <Frogzoo> kondor21: mount the new partition elsewhere, eg. /mnt - & copy over the users from the root partition
[02:08] <Ferret> kitsuneofdoom: You can prevent them appearing for that user too, if you like
[02:08] <edgey_> help please http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n39/mredgey/Untitled.jpg
[02:08] <Frogzoo> greenpete: what do you have as your line in fstab?
[02:08] <marshall> yo guys, whats the command to mount /dev/hdb to /media/hdb?
[02:08] <greenpete> Mmm not sure which line do you mean?
[02:09] <owlhoot> Ferret are you still there... i got google earth to run but it crashes my system each time
[02:09] <shriphani> hello. could someone please tell me where the .xsession file is located?
[02:09] <Ferret> kondor21: You could temporarily mount it elsewhere and mv the directories over
[02:09] <Frogzoo> greenpete: if you want the partition to mount automatically, you'll need to add a line to /etc/fstab
[02:09] <kondor21> Frogzoo: So I would still need to copy them even though I am mounting in /mnt ?  copy them to /mnt?  I should explain I got them back as I did not fstab the mount just terminal mount to test
[02:09] <Frogzoo> !windows | greenpete
[02:09] <ubotu> greenpete: For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[02:10] <Ferret> owlhoot: Can you describe the crash, or any error messages?
[02:10] <edgey_> help please read http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n39/mredgey/Untitled.jpg
[02:10] <owlhoot> no error messages. it crashes so hard everything locks up and i have to hard reboot
[02:10] <kondor21> Hang on a second, I think I can answer my own question.  Need to just mount to /mnt
[02:10] <jvai> lol!! hey ppl
[02:10] <kitsuneofdoom> Ferret: how?
[02:10] <greenpete> It's a slave drive that I formatted in windblows, does that make a difference?
[02:10] <Frogzoo> kondor21: mount the new partition to /mnt - copy over /home/* to /mnt, then unmount /mnt & remout it as /home  - clear as mud?
[02:11] <edgey_> help please read http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n39/mredgey/Untitled.jpg
[02:11] <greenpete> uboto: why do you think I am here!
[02:11] <greenpete> Yup!
[02:11] <Ferret> edgey_: Do you mean an onscreen one, or a keyboard multicaster, or some other weirdness?
[02:11] <Frogzoo> greenpete: ubuto is a bot: read the link it posted
[02:11] <edgey_> onscreen one
[02:11] <kondor21> Frogzoo: yes, I think I will make a mental note to backup /home incase I decide to change the hard drive in future
[02:12] <Ferret> kondor21: You should either move the directories with mv or copy them with cp -av
[02:12] <greenpete> Ok thanks!
[02:12] <Ferret> kondor21: Otherwise the permissions will go funky
[02:12] <Frogzoo> !ntfs | greenpete soz, this should be right
[02:12] <ubotu> greenpete soz, this should be right: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[02:12] <shriphani> Frogzoo, can you tell me where the .xsession file is ?
[02:12] <Frogzoo> shriphani: ~
[02:12] <Ferret> edgey_: try gtkeyboard
[02:12] <Frogzoo> shriphani: if it's not there, you'll need to create it
[02:12] <shriphani> ok Frogzoo
[02:12] <greenpete> Looks good thanks, bye!
[02:13] <Alonea> my computer wont restart or shut down. The screen just goes black, but the computer never shuts off
[02:13] <kondor21> Ferret, thanks, off to study how to use mv :)  6 night since moving to linux, I am enjoying it and the learning curve is steep but not impossible thanks to you guys
[02:13] <shriphani> Frogzoo, so if i want to boot fluxbox thru a dm it needs to be in .xsession and if i want to use startx it needs to be in .xinitrc
[02:14] <rellik> arggg :(  you get so used to active channels like #ubuntu and #ruby-lang, etc..  then when I have a windows question, of course #windows is all but silent..  does that mean linux is buggier since it has more active support channels? :)
[02:14] <kondor21> !terminal
[02:14] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[02:14] <Priswell> Ferret: You were right. It didn't work.
[02:14] <kungfugoat> everytime I switch to a text console, my screen gets corrupted
[02:14] <Gartral> my sound stoped working
[02:15] <Gartral> amarok wont play
[02:15] <kungfugoat> ahh...2007
[02:15] <EdgEy> thankyou Ferret
[02:15] <EdgEy> i broke my keyboard somehow
[02:16] <kungfugoat> Windows is getting worse, linux is getting better and Apple is, well, Apple
[02:16] <EdgEy> while removing a few packages i thought i didn't need
[02:16] <Alonea> I can't really think exactly when it started, but I think it was soon after I got fglrx working for my video card so I could have 3ds acceraltion to run ePSXe and UT2004 properly
[02:17] <EdgEy> now my keyboard well... doesn't work in X. i don't want to reboot since if it's broken then i'm screwed
[02:17] <rellik> EdgEy do you have SSH access?
[02:18] <EdgEy> i can try and set it up?
[02:18] <Cdeszaq> what is the kde version of gedit?
[02:18] <rellik> EdgEy SSH is always a great backup in case your inputs/video/etc gets messed up
[02:18] <EdgEy> never realised I was so fast at typing with a mouse
[02:18] <Pancakes> Could someone help me do a partition with ubuntu (Never done it before)?
[02:18] <rellik> EdgEy (as long as you have a second comp, of course)
[02:19] <n2diy> Cdeszaq: kedit?
[02:19] <EdgEy> rellik i'm using an onscreen keyboard atm
[02:19] <Chiaroscuro> lol
[02:19] <jvai> alonea.. was it working perfectly bfore? i went thru that yesterday!
[02:19] <Meheren> My Argus DC 1540 isn't reconized by ubunut, how can I get it working? (lsusb sees it but that's all eth communication i have with it)
[02:19] <Ferret> Priswell: I dunno then. That works for shares that don't have a password set on them
[02:20] <Ferret> Priswell: What are you using to connect to the printer?
[02:20] <jvai> but it's working now, i did a trick thru the bootmenu...
[02:20] <Alonea> yeah, it was fine. I am pretty sure it started happening after I did the video card, which was hell getting to work since the 2 previous tried killed my screen completely (it was black)
[02:21] <Meheren> It's a digital still camera I inted to use as a webcam because it doubles as one :p
[02:21] <Priswell> Ferret: ethernet > router > Windows machine>  Printer on USB port.
[02:21] <Pancakes> I need some help with doing a partition.:/
[02:21] <Alonea> jvai: I tried doing aspc or something like that, forgot the letters already...bit tired, but I set it to off on the boot option thing
[02:21] <Ferret> EdgEy: have a look at the bottom of /var/log/Xorg.0.log for keyboard related errors
[02:21] <Pancakes> If you have a few minutes, it'd be apprecaited:/
[02:21] <Ferret> Priswell: And what program at the client end?
[02:22] <jvai> oooo! u mean. "acpi=off" @ alonea
[02:22] <Alonea> yes!
[02:22] <Meheren> Pancakes, state your problem
[02:22] <tim167> how can i show the amount of RAM in my computer in the terminal ?
[02:22] <Pancakes> Meheren, just doing the partition alone.
[02:23] <Meshezabeel> I just downloaded a ubuntu binary with a .deb extension, how do I install this?
[02:23] <Pancakes> after I go to "manually edit partition table" I get a bit confused.
[02:23] <tim167> is there a terminal command to show how much RAM i have ?
[02:23] <Meheren> Pancakes, uuum ok what you need help with?
[02:23] <vrkhans> i am trying to install xubuntu
[02:23] <JPMaximilian> tim167: sudo lshw
[02:23] <EdgEy> nothing there Ferret. i've not rebooted or restarted X, it just.. broke
[02:23] <foutrelis> tim167: A command I know of is "top"
[02:23] <tim167> JPMaximilian: thanks
[02:23] <Meheren> Meshezabeel, type in a terminal sudo dpkg -i <package>
[02:23] <tim167> foutrelis
[02:24] <tim167> thanks
[02:24] <foutrelis> np
[02:24] <Meshezabeel> thanks Meheren!
[02:24] <Meheren> np
[02:24] <vrkhans> but i dont know why but the installer is not showing me the all the partitions
[02:24] <Ferret> EdgEy: Does it still work in terminals?
[02:24] <vrkhans> i already have windows installed
[02:24] <Alonea> be back in a sec. trying something
[02:24] <vrkhans> on one of my partition
[02:24] <EdgEy> i can't test
[02:24] <Priswell> Um. . .I'm using Ubuntu 6.10
[02:24] <Pancakes> Meheren, after "manually edit partition table", I would go to rezize, then right there I get lost.
[02:24] <Ferret> EdgEy: because you might not be able to switch back? :/
[02:24] <Pancakes> I've never done a partition before.
[02:24] <Priswell> Ferret: Ubuntu 6.10
[02:25] <Meheren> Pancakes, please tell me what you need help with so i can help you
[02:25] <EdgEy>  ctrl alt f1 doesn't work, but also that
[02:25] <Meheren> Pancakes, get lost with what?
[02:25] <Pancakes> With what to do next.
[02:25] <marshall> yo guys, whats the command to mount /dev/hdb to /media/hdb? ive already tried 'sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb /media/hdb' but i get  wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdb,
[02:25] <Meheren> after resizing it?
[02:25] <Ferret> Priswell: I mean, the dialog or program or whatever you're using from where you're trying to add the network printer?
[02:25] <vrkhans> the installer is just showing me the whole hard drive without any other information on it
[02:25] <EdgEy> marshall,  hdb is a drive
[02:26] <shaun_> can someone help me getting sound to work?
[02:26] <shaun_> its not working at all
[02:26] <Ferret> marshall: /dev/sdb is a whole disk. /dev/sdb1 is the first prtition
[02:26] <Pancakes> While resizing it I suppose.
[02:26] <vrkhans> like other partition
[02:26] <Ferret> errr, hdb
[02:26] <EdgEy> marshall,  you need sdb1 or so
[02:26] <z_malloc> i am having trouble with hylafax, my fax modem and upstart.  when i boot up, the faxboard does not become ready until i restart hylafax.  any ideas?
[02:26] <vrkhans> i dont know what to do
[02:26] <Meheren> uum drag the bar to the left or right depending on what size you want.
[02:26] <EdgEy> hdb yeah lol
[02:27] <Pancakes> Meheren, how much should I give it?
[02:27] <EdgEy> man
[02:27] <ubuntu> aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[02:27] <Priswell> Ferret: I'm not sure what you mean by "program". I'm trying to install a network printer from the Printers menu under System in Ubuntu 6.10. Sorry if that's not what you mean.
[02:27] <vrkhans> help me i am new
[02:27] <ubuntu> bando de fi duma eguaaaaa
[02:27] <Ferret> EdgEy: Well, for future reference you can use 'sudo chvt 1' to change to terminal 1, but correct, don't try it
[02:27] <EdgEy> is there some sort of magic 'keyboard driver' package heh
[02:27] <ubuntu> fi do cuuuuu
[02:27] <Meheren> Pancakes, what partition are you resizing?
[02:27] <JamesG> Is there an easy way to determine what the compile options are for an ubuntu package? Specifically, php?
[02:28] <Pancakes> I don't have any other partitions:/
[02:28] <Ferret> EdgEy: Try 'loadkeys us' (or uk or de or whatever) in a terminal to see if it resets keyboard o.o
[02:28] <Pancakes> I guess the 'only one' :/
[02:28] <vrkhans> it is not showing any partion
[02:28] <Ferret> EdgEy: No, I have a better idea, brb
[02:28] <Meheren> Pancakes, ok so your resizing one partiton to make room for ubuntu, is this correct?
[02:28] <vrkhans> i think it doesnt read my partition table
[02:28] <marshall> EdgEy: mount: special device /dev/sdb does not exist (same for sdb1)
[02:28] <Pancakes> Meheren, that is correct.
[02:29] <spiraldark> I am running ubuntu 6.10, and I keep hearing refrences to "mencoder" but I don't have it... how do I get it?
[02:29] <hatdragon> I've googled for an hour and browsed the ubuntu forums for longer, but I must be an idiot or something--how do I prevent Ubuntu from logging me off after I've been idle for some time?
[02:29] <jrib> !info mencoder | spiraldark
[02:29] <ubotu> spiraldark: mencoder: MPlayer's Movie Encoder. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre8-0ubuntu8 (edgy), package size 3171 kB, installed size 7956 kB
[02:29] <EdgEy> marshall,  hdb1 not sdb sorry
[02:29] <marshall> EdgEy: ok
[02:29] <Pancakes> Meheren, if you desire, you could give me a link to a tutorial, and I'll ask you questions after that.
[02:29] <EdgEy> marshall,  sdb is sata ;p
[02:29] <spiraldark> thanks

[02:30] <Meheren> Pancakes, that's alright... soo umm probally 8 gigs minimum....
[02:30] <Meheren> Pancakes, how big is your hard drive?
[02:30] <exs> guys, i need a screen recorder, to record my screen for about 5 min
[02:30] <n2diy> hatdragon: is it logging you out, or just forcing you to enter a password, to halt the screen saver?
[02:30] <Pancakes> Meheren, not sure actually, but I'll just give it 10.
[02:31] <Alonea> ok, back, now what did you do to get it to shutdown?
[02:31] <hatdragon> it's logging me out. I never see it, so it obviously only happens after I've been idle for at least half an hour
[02:31] <Meheren> Pancakes, that's probbaly fine
[02:31] <d00by> can anyone help me with twinview? for some reason, it works fine at 2048x768, but when i try to do 2048x1024 only one screen works
[02:31] <n2diy> hatdragon: is it a laptop?
[02:31] <hatdragon> n2diy, I do have a screensaver that goes on before that
[02:31] <hatdragon> n2diy, nope, desktop. And I'd like to keep it running all the time
[02:31] <z_malloc> i am having trouble with hylafax, my fax modem and upstart.  when i boot up, the faxboard does not become ready until i restart hylafax.  any ideas?
[02:31] <Pancakes> So Meheren, after I choose resize, what would I do?
[02:32] <psykidellic> Hit3k, a newbie here. Excuse my ignorance but how do I run some graphical application e.g. Nautilius under sudo mode? I want to change permission of a folder using the graphical interface. I know I can do chmod but I just wanted to try the graphical approach?
[02:32] <d00by> can anyone help me with twinview? for some reason, it works fine at 2048x768, but when i try to do 2048x1024 only one screen works
[02:32] <trav> so i pasted the thing for ubuntu edgey eft on that thing i looked at on the restricted formats dcoumentation...
[02:32] <ElbridgeGerry> How do I get mp3s embedded in webpages to work? (I've already got the codec, it's just embedded pages like YTMND, and don't direct me to ubotu, I've already checked.)

[02:32] <foutrelis> hmm
[02:32] <EdgEy> d00by,  2048x1024?
[02:32] <Meheren> Pancakes create a new partiton, wake it primary and make it reiserfs
[02:32] <n2diy> hatdragon: ummm, my desktop runs 24/7, and I've never had your problem. GL.
[02:32] <Meheren> *make

[02:33] <Pancakes> Meheren, "reiserfs"?
[02:33] <foutrelis> trav: Try the same apt-get command again :)
[02:33] <trav> what do i have to do? does flash now work, or do i still have to do something?
[02:33] <psykidellic> royel, foutrelis That is from shell? How about starting from application menu? Can I do that?
[02:33] <Meheren> Pancakes, it's my personal favorite filesystem type...
[02:33] <trav> ok
[02:33] <JamesG> reiserfs.. It's killer
[02:33] <d00by> edgey, wait hang on, it should be liek 2560x1024 shouldnt it?
[02:33] <Gothfunc> mp3blaster works... mp3blaster --sound-device /dev/dsp1... but mp3blaster is buggy
[02:33] <Meheren> Pancakes, if you prefer you can choose ext3
[02:34] <d00by> edgey, to do 1280x1024 on 2 monitors?
[02:34] <foutrelis> psykidellic: Sorry I don't know of a GUI way to do that
[02:34] <vrkhans> meheren why you like it
[02:34] <trav> foutrelis: do i just paste the command i got when looking at restricted formats/flash in the help doc?
[02:34] <EdgEy> d00by,  identical monitors?
[02:34] <nozzeh> hello Everyone :)
[02:34] <d00by> edgey, yes
[02:34] <EdgEy> yup 2560
[02:34] <hatdragon> n2diy, yeah, I fiddled with screensaver and power management settings, but it still does it. Is it really not a setting, and just a bug on my machine?
[02:34] <Meheren> vrkhans, it's fast and easy to recover if it fails or get's currupt
[02:34] <vrkhans> hmm
[02:34] <vrkhans> what about ext2 or ext3
[02:34] <foutrelis> trav: You can just press the up arrow on your keyboard.
[02:35] <Meheren> Pancakes, you the partiton you are creating should be roughly 9 gigs
[02:35] <ElbridgeGerry> Anyone know why web-embedded mp3s aren't working for me? Regular mp3s work fine, and wavs and other formats work
[02:35] <GionnyBoss> psykidellic, there's a way to do that... read the Ubuntu guide just clicking on the ? icon
[02:35] <JamesG> reiserfs has an uncertain future. Personally I prefer ext3 for its superior robustness.
[02:35] <foutrelis> trav: You can choose a command you have issued before that way :)
[02:35] <trav> foutrelis: this is what i pasted in:       sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad-multiverse gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly gstreamer0.10-plugins-ugly-multiverse gxine libxine-main1 libxine-extracodecs ogle ogle-gui
[02:35] <trav> Foutrelis, oh i didn't know i could do that
[02:35] <n2diy> hatdragon: It sounds like you changed something, but I have no idea what it might be. At first I thought it was a screen saver setting. Maybe you were playing with security options?
[02:35] <foutrelis> trav: Try this command again :)
[02:35] <vrkhans> hey Meheren: could you help me after pancake
[02:35] <trav> ok
[02:35] <kondor21> when i try to use the cp command like this cp /home/*.* /mnt/*.*  I get lots of ommiting directories, any ideas?  I am root via sudo -s
[02:35] <Meheren> vrkhans, possibly what's your problem?
[02:35] <Ferret> EdgEy: are you able to edit files and start X and check logs and run irc from console?
[02:36] <GionnyBoss> psykidellic, go in 'Working with your desktop' and then 'Advanced Desktop Configurations' and there you will find a short guide to do what you want
[02:36] <Ferret> EdgEy: knowledge-wise?
[02:36] <foutrelis> kondor21: Have you tried that with the -r switch?
[02:36] <EdgEy> kondor21, cp -R
[02:36] <Pancakes> Meheren, I remember there being a mount partition thingy, along with options such as swap and etc., I think that came after resize:/
[02:36] <vrkhans> my problem seems simple but not so simple
[02:36] <JamesG> kondor21: Do cp -r, and *.* is unnecessary. This isn't DOS.
[02:36] <nozzeh> is there a complete newbie guide to Ubuntu to someone that has never touched linux?
[02:36] <d00by> edgy, thats not an option, how do i make it one?
[02:36] <kitche> kondor21: cp -r to cp directories or cp -a
[02:36] <Meheren> yeah, don't worry about it right now.
[02:36] <trav> Foutrelis: do you know how i can make opera my defualt browser instead of konqueror or firefox, also the GRUB lists for ubuntu to chose from(two with some sort of special mode) and two normal, the first is kubuntu, so does that mean the other normal one is ubuntu?
[02:36] <EdgEy> Ferret, i do not know if console will have workung kb
[02:36] <psykidellic> GionnyBoss, Thanks.
[02:36] <ElbridgeGerry> nozzeh: I think we have one in the documentation...Lemme find it.
[02:36] <kondor21> thanks i think its a good chance it needs to -r switch by the looks of all the replies.
[02:36] <Meheren> do you have a ext3 or reiserfs partiton that is about 9 gigs?
[02:36] <hatdragon> n2diy, as far as I know, I didn't change any security settings. I have several programs installed, but all common stuff like beagle
[02:37] <Ferret> EdgEy: Well, we can check that!
[02:37] <Gothfunc> anyone? :|
[02:37] <Pancakes> Meheren, I really don't understand what you mean.
[02:37] <ElbridgeGerry> nozzeh: Are you switching from Windows or Mac?
[02:37] <nozzeh> ElbridgeGerry, cool, i've never touched anything but windows for 15 years
[02:37] <Ferret> EdgEy: Run this command in console (make sure 7 is the terminal X is running on): sudo chvt 1; sleep 5s; sudo chvt 7
[02:37] <nozzeh> windows
[02:37] <EdgEy> Ferret, how will i get back to X if not
[02:37] <Ferret> EdgEy: You have 5 seconds to hit keys D:
[02:37] <EdgEy> ahh, yes
[02:37] <ElbridgeGerry> nozzeh: Okay, here's what you need: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows Have fun!
[02:37] <Meheren> Pancakes, did you make a primary partiton like i askd yet?
[02:37] <vrkhans> i have a 200gb hdd i already made partitions 4 , one for windows and and 3 other , but in this installer i cant see any of those partitions, i dont want to lose my other partitions
[02:38] <EdgEy> how can I check X
[02:38] <n2diy> hatdragon: Sorry, all I can suggest is you retrace your steps and see if you can find something pertinent?
[02:38] <foutrelis> trav: Well.. Maybe it is just a different kernel version. :)
[02:38] <Pancakes> Meheren, I'm not on ubuntu right now, this is my only computer:/
[02:38] <EdgEy> think it's on 9 atm
[02:38] <Pancakes> I'm just going by memory.
[02:38] <mlalkaka> I've connected a USB printer to my computer (running Edgy/6.10), but no /dev/usb/lp0 device file was created. In fact, /dev/usb does not even exist. How can I fix this problem?
[02:38] <vrkhans> just a big chunk of 178gb hdd
[02:38] <foutrelis> trav: As for making Opera your default browser, I cannot help tou :(
[02:38] <foutrelis> *you
[02:38] <Meheren> Pancakes, omgosh....  well ok then just leek it up in the wiki
[02:38] <vrkhans> i dont know i can save my other partions and install linux
[02:39] <vrkhans> on one partition
[02:39] <Meheren> Pancakes, they should have documentaiton as well as screenshots
[02:39] <Pancakes> Meheren, that's why I asked for a tutorial ;)
[02:39] <royel> psykidellic: you could create a custom application launcher, very easy to do
[02:39] <Meheren> vrkhans, it doesn't see ANY of your partitions?
[02:39] <vrkhans> i tried gparted in that also it doesnt show me any partition
[02:39] <Ferret> EdgEy: you can check by looking in the X log
[02:39] <vrkhans> no
[02:39] <Meheren> oo
[02:39] <Meheren> uum just sec
[02:39] <dmb062082> frostwire is not in the repos?
[02:39] <vrkhans> just one blank partition
[02:40] <Meheren> vrkhans, you running windows or wine?
[02:40] <vrkhans> big problem na
[02:40] <Ferret> EdgEy: grep VT /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[02:40] <vrkhans> no right now i am running from the live cd
[02:40] <Meheren> pancakes, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwitchingToUbuntu/FromWindows
[02:40] <hatdragon> n2diy, hmm. Anyway, thanks a bunch. It's been doing it since I installed it a week ago, so I don't remember too well. Any other places (people, channels) I should look to for help?
[02:40] <EdgEy> sudo chvt 1; sleep 5s; sudo chvt 9
[02:41] <Meheren> vrkhans, but do you have wine or windows installed on your comptuer?
[02:41] <kondor21> so just a question while my hdd's whirtl away, is /home the place that fills up the most usually
[02:41] <vrkhans> i have windows installed
[02:41] <Alonea> anyone else know why my computer stopped shutting down?
[02:41] <Meheren> kondor21, usr is very large
[02:41] <whileimhere> !DVD
[02:41] <ubotu> For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[02:41] <n2diy> hatdragon: see if you can find a clue with google, and keep asking here every ten minutes or so.
[02:42] <FabioBr> Hi, anyone knows how to configure a vpn??? I'm having a problem with the configuration
[02:42] <kondor21> guess what i did, doh, i only cp'd home to usr instead of mnt grrrrr!  always double check eh!
[02:42] <EdgEy> Ferret, text works in console
[02:42] <Priswell> Ferret: I got the printer to work! Don't ask me how, though! I had another Ubuntu box running under VMWare on another computer and I copied everything (even when I thought I had already done it that way before) and it finally accepted the settings. Thanks for responding.
[02:42] <drx> Help
[02:42] <EdgEy> Ferret, thankyou
[02:42] <Ferret> EdgEy: Then will be safe to restart X. ;)
[02:42] <hatdragon> n2diy, thanks, again
[02:42] <Ferret> And reboot, whatever
[02:42] <n2diy> hatdragon: nada
[02:42] <EdgEy> actually...
[02:42] <trav> foutrelis: thanks, if its a diff kernal, would it have a different string of numbers? cos both sets seem the same to me
[02:42] <drx> I installed Ubuntu and now there's no boot option for Windows!
[02:42] <EdgEy> hmm
[02:43] <EdgEy> it's not
[02:43] <ElbridgeGerry> drx: What did you choose during installation?
[02:43] <drx> I just did a standard install of 64-bit Ubuntu.
[02:43] <whileimhere> What is the difference between the LAME package from the Seveas server compared to the Synaptic package?
[02:43] <drx> I partitioned manually
[02:43] <EdgEy> Ferret,  if i restart X and keyboard doesn't work, i'm stck at logon
[02:43] <drx> I left the Windows partition alone
[02:43] <Hail_Spacecake> how do I see the IP address of all computers connected to a network?
[02:44] <drx> (FAT32)
[02:44] <drx> and created 1 swap & 1 ext3
[02:44] <Byan> Hail_Spacecake: ... uh? try pinging them all?
[02:44] <drx> all are primary paritions
[02:44] <sijmen> Hail_Spacecake, you could try a broadcast ping
[02:44] <n2diy> Hail_Spacecake: ping -b your broadcast address.
[02:44] <ElbridgeGerry> drx: Okay, sounds good...I'm not familiar with most BIOS...have you checked your boot menu?
[02:45] <Byan> drx: your gonna have to set up grub
[02:45] <Byan> is grub installed?
[02:45] <Ferret> EdgEy: Yes, you might want to do something about that ;p
[02:45] <Hail_Spacecake> what do I put into ping, though?
[02:45] <EdgEy> Ferret, um, /etc/init.d/gdm restart; sleep 60; sudo chvt 2?
[02:45] <Hail_Spacecake> if I don't know what the IP is
[02:45] <Byan> Hail_Spacecake: you don't... you write a script or something to ping every address, or a program
[02:45] <EdgEy> sudo /etc....
[02:45] <Byan> try google
[02:46] <Ferret> EdgEy: Do you know how to setup start-up session stuff in gnome?
[02:46] <Pancakes> That link didn't say anything about doing a partition:/
[02:46] <Ferret> EdgEy: Ahh, you have a login thingy, so that won't help
[02:46] <n2diy> Hail_Spacecake: use the ifconfig command to find the broadcast address of your network, and then ping -b that address.
[02:46] <mlalkaka> I've connected a USB printer to my computer (running Edgy/6.10), but no /dev/usb/lp0 device file was created. In fact, /dev/usb does not even exist. How can I fix this problem?
[02:46] <Ferret> EdgEy: In a terminal, try Alt-SysRq-[
[02:47] <Pancakes> Could someone guide me in doing a partition (I've never done a partition before, and I have no clue what I'm doing).
[02:47] <Ferret> EdgEy: It's a kernel feature, not sure if ubuntu enables it (so check :)
[02:47] <exs> is there any screen recorder for ubuntu??
[02:48] <exs> i need to capture a clip
[02:48] <EdgEy> Ferret, some strange output
[02:48] <dkbg> I am having issues with lm-sensors
[02:48] <Ferret> exs: you mean a video clip thingy?
[02:49] <Pancakes> Does anyone have a link of how to install and partition ubuntu?
[02:49] <exs> yeah...
[02:49] <Ferret> EdgEy: That's cool.  From X, try doing Alt-SysRq-r and then let go of all three buttons and do Alt-F1
[02:49] <Ferret> EdgEy: If that works it gives you a way to get out of X any time you like
[02:49] <dkbg> Pancakes: what exactly do you mean?
[02:49] <EdgEy> woooooooo
[02:49] <EdgEy> yup
[02:50] <exs> Ferret:  a video capture
[02:50] <Ferret> EdgEy: OK, *now* you're safe to restart :D
[02:50] <tompouce> Hi
[02:50] <dkbg> Pancakes: are you trying to dual boot?
[02:50] <Pancakes> dkbg, I want to do a partition (Keep my winddows, and have ubuntu).
[02:50] <kondor21> !install
[02:50] <EdgEy> thanks. vbrb hopefully
[02:50] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[02:50] <ts20_5m0k3> http://digg.com/tech_news/Behind_the_scenes_of_a_news_station_photos <--wow
[02:50] <Pancakes> dkbg, essentially the installation of ubuntu.
[02:50] <tompouce> I downloaded a lot of gtk2 themes, but none are as they are on the screenshots, only the colors change and the button still square. the themes that came with ubuntu are working fine tough,.
[02:50] <dkbg> Pancakes: okay well thats pretty easy, you already have windows installed to the whole hd I guess?
[02:51] <Ferret> exs: vnc2swf looks popular
[02:51] <Pancakes> Should be.:/
[02:51] <Ferret> EdgEy: Don't forget that key combo ;p
[02:51] <kam> hello
[02:51] <Pancakes> I know I need to go to "manually edit partition table", however I get 'lost' after that of what to do.
[02:51] <royel> !hi | kam
[02:51] <ubotu> kam: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:51] <dkbg> Pancakes: okay
[02:51] <kam> is there any wireless guru in here?
[02:52] <tompouce> Could someone help me
[02:52] <royel> !network | kam I am the all knowing guru,
[02:52] <ubotu> kam I am the all knowing guru,: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:52] <_pHI_> hi, do i need to have portmap running (on port 111) if i want to use nfs as a client, i.e. access nfs shares?
[02:53] <EdgEy> Ferret, well, an X restart fixed it. thank you so much :)
[02:53] <whileimhere> Can I use Synaptic to upgrade to Edgy Eft 7.04?
[02:53] <Zemmy> how do I write to WinXP folders on the other partition? I'm dual booting Edgy and XP (obviously)
[02:53] <EdgEy> ? ntfs-3g
[02:53] <EdgEy> ! ntfs-3g
[02:53] <ubotu> ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[02:53] <kam> i cannot get my intel 3945 working on a fujitsu amilo pro
[02:53] <dkbg> Pancakes: http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/installing that walks you through it pretty well
[02:54] <royel> !fuse
[02:54] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing using fuse here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[02:54] <jrib> !upgrade | whileimhere
[02:54] <ubotu> whileimhere: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:54] <whileimhere> Thanks
[02:54] <exs> can someone please help me to install vnc2swf? http://www.unixuser.org/~euske/vnc2swf/
[02:54] <Ferret> ntfs-3g is better ;)
[02:54] <kondor21> !terminal
[02:54] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).  Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[02:55] <royel> Ferret: I agree myself, I just wanted to share that there is a choice
[02:55] <kam> can anyone help me troubleshoot.. i am lost with getting intel 3945 working?
[02:55] <dkbg> Pancakes: you there?
[02:55] <Pancakes> dkbg, on that link, the 9th image, should I choose the first one?
[02:56] <Pancakes> I was told by someone to choose manually edit partition table
[02:56] <dkbg> Pancakes: yeah the first choice is probably best
[02:56] <dkbg> Pancakes: are you only running XP right now with no wacky partitions?
[02:56] <Pancakes> Only XP
[02:56] <dkbg> okay, well the first choice should be fine
[02:56] <Malachi> Hey.
[02:56] <dkbg> you should defrag your hd a few times before you do it
[02:56] <Malachi> Major problem.
[02:57] <Malachi> I can't open links in Firefox from applications like XChat or Wengophone.
[02:57] <Malachi> And I need to open a WengoPhone link to register.
[02:57] <kam> Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work. - any idea how to turn it off?
[02:57] <Pancakes> dkbg, will I get anything else after that to do?
[02:57] <Smiley> hey guys, if i close the lid to my laptop, nothing changes...
[02:57] <royel> Malachi: you try to right click on the link, sometimes you get a menu to copy link, then you can just paste it to FF
[02:58] <Smiley> its still updating now, but anyone give me a quick hint why ? (ive changed the power saving options to hibernate.
[02:58] <Nuute> #beryl
[02:58] <Malachi> royel: Works in X-Chat, but not in WengoPhone. Tried it.
[02:58] <royel> Smiley: that explains why your so "smiley" :)
[02:58] <Pancakes> dkbg, oh thanks for the help in advance.
[02:58] <Smiley> :D
[02:58] <dkbg> Pancakes: I don't think so, just choose the size you want your ubuntu partition to be
[02:59] <Pancakes> What will happen after that?
[02:59] <dkbg> and keep in mind, I'm no expert here :) I've never used that choice heh
[02:59] <kam> can anyone help me troubleshoot.. i am lost with getting intel 3945 working?
[02:59] <Pancakes> Lol dkbg, it's okay. ;)
[02:59] <royel> Malachi: guess you have to type the url manually :(
[02:59] <Malachi> I don't know it, royel.
[02:59] <Pancakes> dkbg, when I get it installed, how will I use the internet?
[02:59] <Malachi> All I have is "Click Here."
[03:00] <Ferret> exs: Erm, have a go with that, but if you have trouble try pyvnc2swf instead, from what I'm reading it's easier to set up
[03:00] <dimeotane> any games suited to a P2 older system?
[03:00] <dimeotane> xscavenger was a good example
[03:00] <Ferret> dimeotane: text-based games? ;)
[03:00] <Pancakes> dkbg, I have a CD for the wireless router I use (Needed to use to get internet for windows)
[03:00] <n2diy> Malachi: check the options in system-preferences-preferred applications.
[03:00] <dimeotane> sure, anything good
[03:00] <kam> can anyone help me troubleshoot.. i am lost with getting intel 3945 working?
[03:00] <Malachi> n2diy: Done already.
[03:00] <dimeotane> that could interest a 'tween'
[03:01] <dkbg> Pancakes: okay well that won't work in ubuntu
[03:01] <dimeotane> (and get em hooked on ubuntu for life)
[03:01] <Pancakes> dkbg, what will I have to do?
[03:01] <dkbg> that could be uquite simple or it could be a little complex
[03:01] <n2diy> Malachi: hmmm?
[03:01] <Smiley> Anyone? Why doesn't my laptop hibernate?
[03:01] <canllaith> Hey, is anyone able to give me the names of the few packages required to build the kernel on ubuntu?
[03:01] <Malachi> n2diy: Tried the preferred applications.
[03:01] <jrib> Malachi: what happens when you try to open the links?  Try 'sudo update-alternative --config x-www-browser'
[03:01] <canllaith> I need to stress test a machine here at work but it doesn't have an internet connection so I'll have to bring the packages to it on a usb stick
[03:02] <kitche> canllaith: build-essential unless you want to make a package
[03:02] <Malachi> jrib: Tried that as well, it's set to firefox. I also set it to /opt/firefox/firefox to be sure.
[03:02] <Pancakes> I'll need to purchase a wireless router for linux, won't I?
[03:02] <dkbg> Pancakes: you'll probably want to install gnome-network-manager to get wireless working nicely
[03:02] <n2diy> Malachi: don't know what else to suggest.
[03:02] <dkbg> Pancakes: no, the router should be alright, its just the hardware in your computer
[03:02] <StoneNote> some laptops haven't eaten enough during the fall to put on a thick layer of fat, and thus cannot hibernate like the other laptops in the winter
[03:02] <canllaith> kitche: That is a meta package, right? Is there a way I can easily find out the individual packages that make it up?
[03:02] <i_is_cat> how do i bring up a list of wireless networks to connect to?
[03:02] <jrib> Malachi: and my question?
[03:02] <Smiley> Pancakes: na, ust find out the IP you can configer the router at.
[03:02] <royel> !ndis | Pancakes
[03:02] <ubotu> Pancakes: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:02] <Smiley> StoneNote: this one is OLD :D
[03:03] <Smiley> 2years :/
[03:03] <Malachi> jrib: Nothing.
[03:03] <Smiley> and its the fatest laptop ever :o
[03:03] <kitche> canllaith: yes packages.ubuntu.com or looka t synaptic but there will be baout 10 packages or so
[03:03] <mlalkaka> I've connected a USB printer to my computer (running Edgy/6.10), but no /dev/usb/lp0 device file was created. In fact, /dev/usb does not even exist. How can I fix this problem? Has the location of /dev/usb/lp0 changed in edgy?
[03:03] <dkbg> Pancakes:  yeah just look around the ubuntu docs, ubuntuforums.org and google, should help you
[03:03] <ecker> anyone in here play ut2003? im trying to install it, so i copied the installer off the 3rd disk and when i try to install it i get alot of mount: /dev/ is not a block device  ??
[03:03] <Malachi> Well, it's okay guys. I'll figure something out.
[03:03] <canllaith> kitche: I don't have an ubuntu system myself, so I need to find the packages online. Thanks :)
[03:03] <kam> can anyone help me troubleshoot.. i am lost with getting intel 3945 working?
[03:04] <Pancakes> I doubt htis will help, but I use a linksys wireless-b usb network adapter
[03:04] <Smiley> ecker: you need to export where the CD's are
[03:04] <Smiley> its in the readme i think on the CD.
[03:04] <i_is_cat> i am using a linksys wireless b usb adapter as well
[03:04] <kitsuneofdoom> I would like to know if there is a script for evolution so I can remove duplicate entries
[03:04] <dkbg> Pancakes: your best bet is just to get ubuntu installed and then fiddle until it works
[03:04] <i_is_cat> works fine except i need to know how to get a list of networks
[03:04] <kam> Kill switch must be turned off for wireless networking to work. - any idea how to turn it off?
[03:04] <Ferret> dimeotane: Hrm, there's loads of 'em, and I don't know what ones are available on ubuntu, but you could try: kdegames, abuse_sdl, gltron, crack-attack, frozen-bubble, bass, bsd-games (bunch of text games, best of which are advent and atc), fish-fillets, dopewars
[03:05] <d00by> can anybody help me with some real basic stuff? I am trying to copy using "cp /home/Chris/Adobe /home/chris/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files" but its not working? it says omitting directory '/home/chris/Adobe'? Any ideas?
[03:05] <LordKeiden> what could consume all my free disk space (20.2GB) and then give it back on a reboot? I'm in gnome, and only firefox and xchat are running.
[03:05] <jrib> d00by: cp -a
[03:05] <Smiley> d00by: cap's in first one, no caps on chris in second one too.

[03:05] <dkbg> can anyone help me with lm-sensors?
[03:05] <putterson> does anybody know anything about tilp here?
[03:06] <putterson> or about usbfs
[03:06] <dkbg> I'm getting "No sensors detected"
[03:06] <jrib> !anyone | dkbg , putterson
[03:06] <ubotu> dkbg , putterson: 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?
[03:06] <jrib> dkbg: did you try running sensors-detect?
[03:06] <dkbg> jrib: well I really don't know what the problem is, I follow a howto and it just doesnt work
[03:06] <dkbg> jrib: yes
[03:07] <putterson> i am having a problem with tilp, it is telling me something about usbfs not working
[03:07] <Pancakes> Sorry about that.
[03:07] <Pancakes> i_is_cat, what did you have to do to get your internet up?
[03:08] <LordKeiden> jrib, good call man. tmp is growing at 100MB per 15 secoonds, or 400mb per minute. what do i do to find what is causing it?
[03:08] <dkbg> jrib: I ran sensors-detect once, it went through with some failures, it gave a list of modules ( a very short one, only included i2c-i801 I think) I did modprobe and such, ran "sensors", and No sensors detected
[03:08] <dkbg> jrib: now when I run sensors-detect it just quits on one of the last questions
[03:09] <whileimhere> I have installed libdvdread3 and when I try to follow the instructions ( sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh ) at https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html it does not work. Anyone know why?
[03:09] <Pancakes> dkbg, I'll attempt to install the ubuntu, then I'll come back and ask for help.
[03:09] <jrib> dkbg: k, I don't really know much about lm-sensors myself
[03:09] <Pancakes> If you're not here when I return, thanks for all of your help.
[03:09] <dkbg> Pancakes: no problem :) hope it goes well

[03:10] <xadloki> Hello, I'm having trouble with .zip and .deb files I download from the internet, everytime firefox completes the download and I try to open it it gives me a warning about security and changes the file to a plain text format ? any suggestions ?
[03:11] <Ferret> LordKeiden: sudo fuser -av file; or sudo lsof | grep file
[03:11] <i_is_cat> the wiki says you need to set your essid and such to your router
[03:11] <jrib> xadloki: is it a firefox-specific problem?  If you download with wget does everything work ok?
[03:11] <i_is_cat> but i want to scan for what routers aer available
[03:11] <i_is_cat> how?
[03:11] <LordKeiden> thanks Ferret , jrib
[03:11] <xadloki> haven't tried I'm pretty new and not sure what wget is
[03:11] <bulmer> LordKeiden: maybe try lsof also

[03:18] <putterson> well you could always download the files from work and save on usb drive and such
[03:18] <echosyp> anyone here in the UK
[03:18] <john> does anyone have streaming problems with amarok
[03:19] <Hasinski> are some webmast4rs here,m im looking 4 some good app for php ... and havent found yet i used to my dremweaver on win, but this just dont wont run under ubuntu :/
[03:19] <Hasinski> john: no, only with exile :(
[03:19] <tompouce> KNY, nice! and for my trouble about themes, do you have an idea?
[03:20] <KNY> tompouce, I missed that question; what was it?
[03:20] <KNY> Hasinski, what was that?
[03:20] <tompouce> I downloaded a lot of gtk2 themes, but none are as they are on the screenshots, only the colors change and the button still square. the themes that came with ubuntu are working fine tough,.
[03:20] <dkbg> Hasinki: are you just looking for a text editor with syntax highlighting?
[03:20] <dkbg> Hasinski: what are you requirements?
[03:20] <KNY> tompouce, are you changing just the window borders?
[03:20] <Hasinski> not exactli, i like to see my files ons erver too and edit them directly
[03:21] <john> having problems with xine streaming
[03:21] <Hasinski> tempuce instal Beryl :)
[03:21] <KNY> I don't mess with themes much; I just use Beryl/Emerald
[03:21] <jens> little question, when I want to remove some default packages like bittorrent, I cant do it because it shows me a dependency on ubuntu-desktop (which I believe is very important package)
[03:21] <KNY> Hasinski, yeah, I have yet to find a decent FTP-capable text editor
[03:21] <KNY> so I started writing one
[03:21] <i_is_cat> tried it but the system is locked down
[03:21] <ecker> grr... everytime i try and mount my cdrom i get mount: block device /dev/hda is write-protected, mounting read-only
[03:21] <KNY> but it's not going very fast
[03:22] <jrib> Hasinski: vim can do that if you like vim
[03:22] <KNY> ecker, is it a CD burner?
[03:22] <shatrat> jens, ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, if you remove any of the default programs you lose it, but you will still have all the other individual packages.
[03:22] <puki> emacs +1
[03:22] <echosyp> anyone in the UK want to tell me what "manko" means
[03:22] <KNY> puki, ?
[03:22] <Hasinski> jrib: must trz
[03:22] <john> kny is dma setup in bios
[03:22] <puki> I vote emacs
[03:22] <royel> john: what kind of problem?
[03:22] <ecker> KNY dvd burner
[03:22] <royel> john: streaming from internet?
[03:22] <john> streaming
[03:22] <putterson> cat, have you tried tor?
[03:22] <john> audio
[03:22] <john> yes
[03:22] <Hasinski> OK, and another Q, what do i use instead of my corel ??
[03:22] <jens> shatrat: thx :-)
[03:23] <tom__> hello
[03:23] <putterson> hello
[03:23] <john> hi
[03:23] <tom__> i just got ubuntu
[03:23] <tompouce> KNY, im using beryl, im changing only the gui themes... :S
[03:23] <echosyp> anyone in the UK want to tell me what "manko" means
[03:23] <Hasinski> GnomeBaker - THE BEST 4 BUNRUNG
[03:23] <echosyp> anyone in the UK want to tell me what "manko" means
[03:23] <shatrat> jens, I think removing default packages can be a problem for upgrading distributions though, so I wouldnt remove it unless you really want to.  although I guess you can just reinstall ubuntu-desktop later
[03:23] <echosyp> anyone in the UK want to tell me what "manko" means
[03:23] <tompouce> i think so
[03:23] <tom__> after getting pissed of at my frequent blue screens
[03:23] <KNY> tompouce, use emerald themes
[03:23] <i_is_cat> tor?
[03:23] <puki> Hasinski, you can RUN coredraw directly on linux
[03:23] <royel> echosyp: I can tell you what /ignore echosyp  means
[03:23] <putterson> yeah it uses socks instead of http
[03:23] <Hasinski> puki: how ?
[03:24] <echosyp> yeah
[03:24] <echosyp> you can tell me
[03:24] <puki> s/coredraw/coreldraw
[03:24] <echosyp> but i still want to know
[03:24] <Hasinski> puki, with wine it just dont wont to install
[03:24] <puki> lol
[03:24] <dkbg> the best code editor with the most features I've found is Kate, unfortuantely its a KDE app
[03:24] <tompouce> KNY, yeah for windows borders, but for the inside i must use gtk2 tehems no? :S
[03:24] <putterson> hey echosyp
[03:24] <echosyp> yo
[03:24] <putterson> try this
[03:24] <echosyp> ?
[03:24] <putterson> http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=manko

[03:25] <echosyp> oh man
[03:25] <i_is_cat> its accessing usb keys etc that doesnt work
[03:25] <echosyp> there is an urbandictionary
[03:25] <echosyp> my bad
[03:25] <KNY> tompouce, like I said, I've not done too much with themes; sorry
[03:25] <Hasinski> tempuce: so download gtk2 theme -> gnome-look.org
[03:25] <putterson> cat, oic you cant use usbkeys?
[03:25] <tom__> does anyone know how I can extract rar files/
[03:25] <putterson> do you have cd burner
[03:25] <jrib> !rar | tom__
[03:25] <ubotu> tom__: rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[03:25] <Chiaroscuro> dkbg: try out jedit, pretty nice
[03:25] <Hasinski> tom: tar -x
[03:25] <Chiaroscuro> lots of customizable plugins
[03:25] <i_is_cat> no
[03:26] <gop> eddgy broke tv out
[03:26] <putterson> hmm
[03:26] <gop> I can't seem to get tv out even after patching the kernel
[03:26] <gop> on my ati 9500
[03:26] <dkbg> Chiaroscuro: its java though :(
[03:26] <tompouce> KNY, ok thanks :P
[03:26] <dkbg> and is quite ugly from I've seen on windows
[03:26] <StoneNote> gop, maybe you should give your ati 9500 a tax break
[03:26] <Hasinski> anyone know how to run corel ??
[03:26] <StoneNote> bwahahahahaha
[03:26] <tompouce> Hasinski, i downloaded about 10 themes, and none are working, i installed theme and only the colors changed, not the shape... :S
[03:26] <gop> hahaha
[03:27] <Chiaroscuro> dkbg: still works pretty nice, you can customize the look a decent amount, on windows i just use crimsoneditor
[03:27] <Hasinski> tempuce: impossible, do u know how ti install themes ?
[03:27] <bruenig> I think you should send it off to haliburton, they will fix it, don't look around though, no bid contract will do
[03:28] <JimBeam> hi, im using ubuntu server: is there a way when i'm doing: "apt-get -f install" to avoid being prompted for the cd? meaning a command i can use that all packeges should be downloaded, not being fetched from the  cd
[03:28] <linux_kid> HELP! I did a port scan and port 443 (HTTPS) came up as open, and I'm not running a web server on my PC!
[03:28] <ledbettj> JimBeam: remove the CD lines from the top of your /etc/apt/sources.lst file
[03:28] <bruenig> JimBeam, remove the cd line from your /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:28] <royel> linux_kid: close it up in your firewall rules then
[03:28] <nrdb> can anyone tell my why the hd command isn't displaying all of a file, 0x50 and 0x7f all I get displayed is one '*' symbol
[03:28] <sosa> linux_kid: lsof
[03:28] <linux_kid> royel, could you explain that...
[03:28] <JimBeam> ledbettj, bruenig: can i "comment" it somehow? for later re-use
[03:29] <StoneNote> JimBeam, comment out the cd line in sources.list, usually the first line. sudo nano /etc/atp/source.list then comment it out then CTRL O then CTRL X then apt-get update
[03:29] <dyrne> JimBeam: the of course apt-get update
[03:29] <itguru> hi everyone :)
[03:29] <ledbettj> JimBeam: sure, use the # sign
[03:29] <bruenig> JimBeam, yeah use #
[03:29] <Hasinski> hi
[03:29] <putterson> hello
[03:29] <itguru> !wifi
[03:29] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:29] <dkbg> how do you do a portscan?
[03:29] <JimBeam> thx to all
[03:29] <linux_kid> dkbg, google it
[03:29] <Hasinski> HOW TO INSTALL COREL ON UBUNTU EDGY ??
[03:29] <bruenig> !caps
[03:29] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[03:29] <itguru> dkbg, you can use nmap to do portscans
[03:29] <ledbettj> dkbg: try 'nmap'
[03:29] <dyrne> dkbg: if your asking you probably want something like nmapfe
[03:29] <StoneNote> Hasinski, first you need to hit your caps lock key
[03:29] <Hasinski> sry
[03:30] <mau> hiya peeps
[03:30] <tompouce> Hasinski, from theme preferences... no?
[03:30] <bruenig> !hi | mau
[03:30] <ubotu> mau: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[03:30] <putterson> !help
[03:30] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[03:30] <Hasinski> tempouce: yes, the easiest and best way
[03:30] <mau> what's the preferred bittorrent client amongst you ubuntuers?
[03:30] <putterson> utorrent
[03:30] <putterson> on wine
[03:31] <tretle> I was wondering if anyone could tell me if its possible to log into ubuntu with your openid handle instead of a normal one
[03:31] <Hasinski> tompouce: just look and the theme description what deos it need
[03:31] <dyrne> mau: i like rtorrent its ncurses or for gui deluge isnt bad
[03:31] <linux_kid> mau, most use just plain bittorrent, but i personally wine utorrent
[03:31] <tom__> ktorrent
[03:31] <tompouce> Hasinski, thats what i do, ah maybe ok
[03:31] <tretle> so when you log into ubuntu you log into all your open accounts at once?
[03:31] <mau> wow
[03:31] <mau> wine huh
[03:31] <mau> i guess i best get to installing it
[03:31] <shatrat> mau, azureus > all in my experience
[03:31] <tom__> is there a way to stream .wmv files?
[03:31] <dyrne> ktorrent is ok but has way to much overhead in gnome for my tastes. same for azureus
[03:32] <Chiaroscuro> use bittyrant over azureus
[03:32] <Hasinski> no one know how tu set up corel on ubuntu machine :( ?
[03:32] <Chiaroscuro> its built on it, but improved
[03:32] <Chiaroscuro> bit-tyrant
[03:32] <shatrat> gimmick
[03:32] <ledbettj> azureus is kind of bloated, but I've had much better success with it that the default bittorrent client.
[03:32] <ledbettj> *that->than
[03:32] <lumination> hey.  What can I do to stop fsck from complaining on boot and throwing me into a maintenance prompt after changing partitions?  I can boot as normal by exiting the maintenance prompt with ^d but I don't want to have to do that every time I reboot
[03:32] <putterson> mau : you should also get microsoft fonts if you are going to be using wine
[03:32] <tompouce> Hasinski, this theme does not need any font or.... its suposed to work the theme is neutronium
[03:32] <royel> Hasinski: is Corel a window binary?
[03:32] <Chiaroscuro> altho, mostly i just fire up a screen with btdownloadcurses!
[03:32] <shatrat> azureus has some lifesaving features though, like distributed tracking
[03:33] <tom__> does anyone know how I can play windows media files?
[03:33] <Hasinski> royel: Vector gfx app, CorelDraw
[03:33] <Chiaroscuro> http://bittyrant.cs.washington.edu/
[03:33] <dyrne> lumination: there is a checkfs.sh or somesuch in /etc/init.d/  you can either sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/whatever or sudo update-rc.d -f whatever remove
