[21:16] <Decinoge> does anyone in here is kinda or somewhat interested in independent game developing?
[21:16] <Jason__> Evening all
[21:16] <Jack_Sparrow> tass1412: dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/YourUserName/Desktop/file.iso bs=4k
[21:17] <tass1412> Jack_Sparrow: bs doesn't matter?
[21:17] <sybariten> is there any reason not to choose Ubuntu 8.04 when doing a new server install?
[21:17] <Jack_Sparrow> tass1412: bigger blocks make it faster
[21:17] <Nx> any amd64 users got mixx to run?
[21:17] <sophs87> LinuxN00b: ok heres what you've gotta do. Fire up a terminal, then type gksudo nautilus
[21:17] <tass1412> Jack_Sparrow: kay, thx
[21:17] <neverblue> linuxNoob, man is a terminal command which give you information about a specific command, in this case: man chown
[21:17] <dan__> anyone?
[21:17] <sybariten> i didnt know 8 was out, i was gonna install 7.10, but then i saw a DL link for 8.04
[21:17] <DRebellion> sybariten: 8.04 is pre-beta
[21:17] <jeffMASTERflex> sybariten: yes, it's alpha software. alpha can go boom any time
[21:17] <Decinoge> no one, fine
[21:17] <neverblue> !anyone | dan_
[21:17] <ubotu> dan_: 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?
[21:17] <nemilar> sybariten: don't install 8.04... bad things will happen
[21:17] <sybariten> DRebellion, jeffMASTERflex : oh, didnt know it was at such a young stage. thanks!
[21:17] <nemilar> sybariten: it's not even in beta yet
[21:18] <sybariten> nemilar: okay
[21:18] <nemilar> 8.04 = 2008, month 4 is the release (scheduled for the 24th of March)
[21:18] <linuxNoob> gksudo nautlius work
[21:18] <linuxNoob> :D
[21:18] <dan__> where do I get the KDE build essentials package?
[21:18] <linuxNoob> thx yo
[21:18] <Nx> I installed it from synaptic and add/remove
[21:18] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[21:18] <Dexterex>  don't install 8.04... bad things will happen! jajaj
[21:18] <Nx> I can (occacsionally) get as far as the first directory selection but then it crashes
[21:19] <Dexterex> apt-get dan__
[21:19] <Jack_Sparrow> !build-essential
[21:19] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first)
[21:20] <jeffMASTERflex> dan__: first you install the regular "build-essential" package, then you install the necessary kde dev libraries needed for your program
[21:20] <steveire> Hey. I'm not sure I can play avi files, and I can't find any on the net. Someone got a link to one?
[21:20] <Parsec300> usr13, libk3b2-mp3 is the package you need to install and libk3b with apt-get then you should be able to directly burn musicCD from MP3
[21:20] <sophs87> Does anyone have a problem in matlab and compiz? everything is blank when i fire it up.
[21:20] <dan__> how do I find out which packages I need?
[21:21] <jeffMASTERflex> sophs87:  i think matlab is swing based. if it is, it will have issues with compiz
[21:21] <neverblue> dan_, you can always do a search
[21:21] <usr13_> dan__: What are you trying to do?
[21:21] <sophs87> drat :(
[21:21] <neverblue> sophs87, run it in a terminal, and see if you get any output telling you abour errors ?
[21:21] <dan__> I'm trying to install Kmuddy
[21:21] <steveire> Hmmm, seems I didn't have ffmpeg. Thought I did.
[21:21] <nemilar> Linux programs have such great names
[21:22] <jeffMASTERflex> nemilar: sarcasm i hope...
[21:22] <Nx> anyone?
[21:22] <jack-desktop> does anyone know bash and can help me?
[21:22] <neverblue> !anyone > Nx
[21:23] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: Since you are trying to compile a KDE app, it would seem to make sense that you should ask for help in Kubuntu...(even though you want to run it under gnome)
[21:23] <neverblue> jack-desktop, there is a #bash channel
[21:23] <nemilar> jeffMASTERflex: haha
[21:23] <StrangeCharm> i'm having trouble hibernating a fujitsu laptop - when i click hibernate from the power menu, it just goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor, and i can't do anything. can i remedy this?
[21:23] <jeffMASTERflex> Nx: i've used mixx before but never on amd64. 64 bit is useless unless you have 4GB of ram and over. i stick with 32 bit and mixx runs without issues
[21:23] <dan__> ok, thanks
[21:23] <Equ1n0x_> Aew
[21:23] <Jack_Sparrow> StrangeCharm: IS that ati video?  I saw something about hibernate on those
[21:23] <sophs87> jack-desktop: what would you like help with?
[21:24] <Nx> thanks
[21:24] <Nx> I'm really new, do I have to download the 32bit bins?
[21:24] <StrangeCharm> Jack_Sparrow: no, i'm using an intel gpu with the intel modsetting driver
[21:24] <neverblue> Nx, that depends, but usually yes
[21:24] <xxxBooGerxxx> what is the comand to format a second hard drive?
[21:24] <Jack_Sparrow> StrangeCharm: k, different issue..
[21:25] <usr13_> dan__: http://www.kmuddy.com/files/debian/kmuddy_0.8-1~getdeb1_i386.deb
[21:25] <neverblue> xxxBooGerxxx, gparted will assist with that, and more
[21:25] <Nx> whats the path of minimum download?(56k)?
[21:25] <Kossilar> I'm having trouble with my videocard. I've installed the NVIDIA drivers, but I have to reinstall them every time I restart my computer in order to be able to use my system.
[21:25] <jeffMASTERflex> jack-desktop: if you want to become a bash #1 stunna, i recommend checking this page out: http://linuxcommand.org/
[21:25] <Jack_Sparrow> xxxBooGerxxx: YOu can use gparted or cli
[21:25] <Nx> I just installed it synoptic
[21:25] <b4l74z4r> i understand that you are automatically root for 5 minutes after you have typed the password, doesn't that represent a security risk?
[21:25] <StrangeCharm> Jack_Sparrow: the issue's not the driver, or you think there's a different issue with this driver
[21:25] <jack-desktop> jeffMASTERflex, i don't want to learn bash, i want to understand what this script is doing, because i think it's wrong.
[21:25] <xxxBooGerxxx> neverblue gparted isn't working for me
[21:25] <neverblue> Nx, please keep questions/posts to a single line
[21:25] <DRebellion> b4l74z4r: you are only root if you type sudo
[21:25] <dan__> it's actually the newer beta version of Kmuddy that I'm trying to install
[21:25] <neverblue> xxxBooGerxxx, errors?
[21:25] <usr13_> dan__: That may be older version... so disregard
[21:26] <pepperjack> Kossilar: i think there may be something with linux-restricted-modules and nvidia module that does that i havent messed with it in a long time though so not sure if that is a bug you are seeing
[21:26] <xxxBooGerxxx> yeah
[21:26] <jeffMASTERflex> jack-desktop: so you want other people to confirm that it's worng instead of confirming it yourself? what about teaching a man to fish?
[21:26] <jack-desktop> jeffMASTERflex, i don't fish.
[21:26] <freyyr> Kossilar: are you root?
[21:26] <jeffMASTERflex> jack-desktop: well then you might not eat today
[21:27] <Jack_Sparrow> StrangeCharm: What I saw was specific for Ati
[21:27] <xxxBooGerxxx> neverblue somthing about label error
[21:27] <jack-desktop> jeffMASTERflex, i know many programming languages (vbs, vb6, java, c++, php), i could probably pick up on bash in a second or two but i'd rather just ask someone else
[21:27] <StrangeCharm> Jack_Sparrow: thanks anyway
[21:27] <neverblue> xxxBooGerxxx, put it on pastebin please
[21:27] <jeffMASTERflex> !pastebin | jack-desktop
[21:27] <ubotu> jack-desktop: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)

[21:27] <RancidLM> i have a laptop i wanna install ubuntu on the only thing is the cdrom is broken on it and it doesn't support USB boot.. is there a way to do a internet install with floppydisk boot or something?
[21:27] <jeffMASTERflex> jack-desktop: then go ahead and paste it, maybe someone might help
[21:28] <jughead> which logfiles should I check to see why my fileserver keeps losing its connection?  There's no monitor and I hate having to do a hard reset every time it stops working
[21:28] <arooni-mobile> when i do <control> + r ... i expect it to search *all* commands ever entered on any terminal instance.  right now, it (1) only seems to search terminal history for the current terminal, and (2) has a limited search back history... how can i fix both of these issues?
[21:28] <Jack_Sparrow> !install > RancidLM
[21:28] <void^> arooni-mobile: use zsh
[21:28] <arooni-mobile> void^, whats that
[21:29] <arooni-mobile> void^, is that an alternative to bash?
[21:29] <jeffMASTERflex> arooni-mobile: yessir
[21:29] <arooni-mobile> oh noes
[21:29] <arooni-mobile> but i like bash
[21:29] <void^> bash doesn't support searching the history of other instances afaik
[21:29] <jeffMASTERflex> arooni-mobile: it's almost exactly like bash but with a few more features among other things. you might like it
[21:29] <usr13_> jughead: You might just look at the network configuration for some sort of error or unorthox setting.
[21:29] <xxxBooGerxxx> neverblue it kind of hard for me right now I'm not at the machine
[21:30] <arooni-mobile> jeffMASTERflex, but i already have a .bashrc file; and know the basics of how that works
[21:30] <Jagatuba> Okay I've searched the forums, but nothing seems to help. I've found threads discussing similar problems, but not exactly the same. My problem is when I insert my thumb drive into the usb port it won't mount. It used to but all of the sudden in the last week none of the drives I have will mount. They do contain data, and I can access them in Windows, so I know that there is nothing wrong with the drives themselves. I get an error perta
[21:30] <usr13_> jughead: Is it static or dhcp?  (If dhcp, change to static)
[21:30] <dan__> I have a Radeon 9250 video card, that works in windows, but doesn't work in Gutsy
[21:30] <dan__> has anyone tackled this problem before?
[21:30] <jeffMASTERflex> arooni-mobile: then don't use zsh and maybe someone can help you with your problem hopefully
[21:31] <jughead> usr13, it's a static IP address that's outside the range of the DHCP addresses for the router
[21:31] <usr13_> dan__:  ATI cards are a bit of a problem for us.
[21:31] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: fyi flgrx will NOT work with that card.. just in case you  installed that
[21:31] <arooni-mobile> jeffMASTERflex, do you use it?
[21:31] <arooni-mobile> what do you like bout it
[21:31] <dan__> I did install it. it didn't work.
[21:31] <Jagatuba> has anyone else had this problem?
[21:31] <usr13_> jughead: Good....
[21:31] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: It is NOT supposet to work with that card...
[21:31] <Fernando> exit
[21:32] <Syko> ATI is worthless in Linux T_T
[21:32] <dan__> any idea how to get it to work? >Jack_Sparrow
[21:32] <jeffMASTERflex> arooni-mobile: i don't use it. I don't need the features it provides.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_computer_shells
[21:32] <kyleBAKED> how can i check the exact name of the wifi driver i have installed? i need it for wpa_supplicant
[21:32] <usr13_> jughead:  How is it loosing connection?  Could it be a hardware problem?  Maybe the NIC?
[21:32] <jughead> usr13, it will work (I can ssh, mount the remote shares, etc) for a little while then it stops working - everything is on but the connection is lost
[21:33] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: YOu must remove flgrx  and in most cases reinstall libgl1-mesa-glx
[21:33] <DRebellion> kyleBAKED: lsmod
[21:33] <usr13_> jughead: Is there an indicator light on the NIC, that is lit when connected?  And does it go out as well?
[21:33] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: THe card works fine.. just NOT with fglrx
[21:33] <nemilar> jughead: are you having the problem that your ssh connection gets terminated after a certain period of time?  I didn't see your original question.
[21:33] <usr13_> jughead: What does ifconfig say when it is disconnected?
[21:33] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: The ati docs are very specific about that.
[21:33] <jughead> usr13, it stays green; if I unplug it it blinks yellow then goes back go green still no response
[21:33] <DragonOS> Hi , I having problems with the gnome clock applets, I can't get to show 12 hour clock, even if I add my custom strftime, I know its a locale problem but how can I fix this
[21:34] <Jagatuba> Does anybody know why my usb drive will not mount?
[21:34] <Syko> bad partition?
[21:34] <Jack_Sparrow> Jagatuba: have you tried to mount them manually
[21:34] <nemilar> DragonOS: it's set to Clock Type: 12 Hour?
[21:34] <jughead> usr13, I can't run the ifconfig command; there's no monitor hooked up to is
[21:34] <DRebellion> Jagatuba: what is the error message?
[21:34] <proprietarysucks> jughead: ssh in and run it
[21:34] <neverblue> jughead, ssh in ?
[21:34] <sophs87> Jugatube have a look at the fdisk -l
[21:34] <wyseur> ellow, I can't seem to mount my firewire HD, anybody has a clue
[21:35] <Jagatuba> yeah they will but thats a big pain in the rear they used to mount automaticallly
[21:35] <dan__> how do I uninstall the fglrx? > Jack_sparrow
[21:35] <jughead> that's the issue I'm having projektdotnet / neverblue  -  after soe random amount of time I can't ssh in - no route to host is the error.
[21:35] <wyseur> I have to know where I can find my firewire disk
[21:35] <sophs87> Jugatuba: Then sort out ur fstab
[21:35] <Jagatuba> I've searched the forums, but nothing seems to help. I've found threads discussing similar problems, but not exactly the same. My problem is when I insert my thumb drive into the usb port it won't mount. It used to but all of the sudden in the last week none of the drives I have will mount. They do contain data, and I can access them in Windows, so I know that there is nothing wrong with the drives themselves. I get an error pertaining
[21:35] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: USe synaptic to completely remove fglrx and install the other
[21:35] <usr13_> jughead: How do you get it to re-connect?
[21:36] <dan__> fglrx isn't in the package manager
[21:36] <usr13_> jughead: Do you have Xserver running on that machine?
[21:36] <jughead> usr13, I have to do a hard reset
[21:36] <neverblue> jughead, wired or wireless ?
[21:36] <Spee_Der> Good afternoon folks. Home early for a change....  Hope all are well....
[21:36] <Nx> nautilus randomly crashes on me, everything else works fine but from gnome the icons are gone and nautilus refuses to run
[21:36] <jughead> usr13, yes - I also use NX to connect to remote desktop
[21:36] <jeffMASTERflex> dan__: yes, it is
[21:36] <jughead> neverblue, it's a wired connection
[21:37] <usr13_> jughead: Get rid of the Xserver for one thing.
[21:37] <mcquaid> does any other desktop capture util besides recordmydesktop play nice with compiz?  the theora format is giving me issues with other programs
[21:37] <Jagatuba> how do I go about sorting out my fstab
[21:37] <DamagePlan> PLease can someone tell me the default font and style for a gnome desktop
[21:37] <dan__> I might have already uninstalled it
[21:37] <usr13_> jughead: ... because you sure don't need X
[21:37] <Jagatuba> sorry noob here
[21:37] <neverblue> Jagatuba, sorting out ?
[21:37] <jeffMASTERflex> dan__: it's xorg-driver-fglrx
[21:37] <neverblue> !enter | Jagatuba
[21:37] <ubotu> Jagatuba: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[21:37] <usr13_> jughead: Is it a certain amount of time?
[21:38] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: xorg-driver-fglrx
[21:38] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: Sorry, Im laggin
[21:38] <jughead> usr13, yesterday it was less than one hour; before that maybe 2-3 hours

[21:38] <ubotu> moon: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[21:39] <neverblue> bonjour moon :)
[21:39] <Jagatuba> sophs87 what do you mean: Then sort out ur fstab
[21:39] <Cpudan80> Jack_Sparrow: The heinlein server is going ok (if you're in the US)
[21:39] <Cpudan80> The other ones were misbehaving fore me
[21:39] <usr13_> jughead: Could it be some sort of sleep mode induced by the bios?
[21:39] <dan__> how do I direct my statements to someone like you're doing?
[21:39] <nemilar> DamagePlan: system - preferences - appearance... it's in there
[21:39] <DRebellion> !tab | dan__
[21:39] <ubotu> dan__: You can use <tab> for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line.
[21:39] <barfender> I am getting 'no signal' from my monitor. This happens after 30min of activity in console mode and in xfce with fglrx loaded.
[21:40] <moon> bonjour neverblue
[21:40] <Cpudan80> dan__: include the persons name at the front, hit tab for most clients
[21:40] <jughead> usr13, I don't think so - I have not messed with the BIOS and it was working just fine (on all the time) until about a week ago
[21:40] <fiXXXerMet> A test print page comes out fine, but printing from firefox messes up the margins...  Text runs off of the side of the page?  I have the correct drivers installed and this happens for two different printer models.
[21:40] <jeffMASTERflex> dan__: type the first couple of letters then press tab
[21:40] <Cyrus25801> I have installed internet explorer 6 on wine but when i run it all i get is a blank white block
[21:40] <dan__> I see
[21:40] <DRebellion> Cyrus25801: this is not an ubuntu issue. go ask microsoft.
[21:40] <neverblue> tab == autocompletion
[21:40] <Drew> can i interupt?
[21:40] <usr13_> jughead: Still think it's some sort of hardware issue, but first off, I would uninstall all un-necessary software.
[21:41] <barfender> I dont understand what could be causing the problem. This never occured when i was using feisty
[21:41] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow: Ok, flgrx is uninstalled
[21:41] <palomer> hello
[21:41] <palomer> I'm trying to install mint
[21:41] <palomer> but I can't seem to partition
[21:41] <neverblue> !enter | palomer
[21:41] <ubotu> palomer: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[21:41] <existone> Drew: just ask your question :)
[21:42] <BodOmLaW> kk
[21:42] <palomer> ok, I can't figure out how to partition
[21:42] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: Search for libgl1-mesa-glx    and install it
[21:42] <neverblue> palomer, using which tool ?
[21:42] <Cyrus25801> DRebellion: well since i am running wine it is a linux issue.and i wouldn't be running IE if i wasn't using a ip camera that needed active x
[21:42] <palomer> erm, the mint installation program
[21:42] <Jack_Sparrow> palomer: Sounds like a question for the Mint room...
[21:42] <DRebellion> Cyrus25801: ip camera?
[21:42] <BodOmLaW> I wanna migrate to ubuntu from xp, and i want to dual boot with xp(just for gaming) in RAID-0
[21:43] <BodOmLaW> is i doable?
[21:43] <Jagatuba> I don't know if the output from dmesg|tail would help anybody to figure out the problem, but I can post it
[21:43] <jeffMASTERflex> palomer: #linuxmint.com
[21:43] <usr13_> palomer: Are you doing a dual boot system?
[21:43] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow:  it's already installed, mark it for reinstallation?
[21:43] <BodOmLaW> yes
[21:43] <DRebellion> jeffMASTERflex: i think just dmesg would be more useful
[21:43] <ompaul> !dualboot | BodOmLaW
[21:43] <palomer> I'm trying to dual boot
[21:43] <ubotu> BodOmLaW: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo - MACs: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MacBookPro https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot
[21:43] <Cyrus25801> DRebellion: Internet protocol camera. a camera that you run on a network that you assign a ip address to
[21:43] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: that couldnt hurt
[21:43] <BodOmLaW> thanks
[21:43] <usr13_> palomer: If not, just let the auto partitioning thing take over and do it for you.  Or take the suggestions it gives you.
[21:43] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: Next I am going to ask you to post your xorg.conf to the pastebin...
[21:44] <palomer> ahh, got it!
[21:44] <palomer> thanks!
[21:44] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow:  ok.
[21:44] <ircleuser> I have enabled the restricted drivers for my ati radeon card. The colour depth isn't right, colours are all wrong. cany anyone help?
[21:45] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow:  I'm a Ubuntu newb if you didn't notice.
[21:45] <BodOmLaW> hey Ubuntu has no problem with RAID0 right?
[21:45] <Otacon22> what can be an intelligent use of 20 old pc in a local network, all together?
[21:45] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: Starting out by trying to compile a kde app in gnome is not the easiest path to take
[21:45] <DRebellion> BodOmLaW: i don't see any reason why linux wouldn't be able to handle RAID
[21:45] <blizzkid> is there anyone in here who is able to create a joomla component?
[21:45] <DRebellion> Otacon22: cluster computing
[21:45] <Otacon22> DRebellion, yes, but for what
[21:46] <BodOmLaW> and can you partition while you instal it?
[21:46] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow:  but if you live in the kiddy pool, you'll never learn how to swim
[21:46] <DRebellion> Otacon22: donate cpu cycles to some project that needs them

[21:46] <BodOmLaW> and can you partition while you instal it?
[21:46] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: We are here to help... just dont want to see you drown before you can swin
[21:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Cyrus25801: We have said repeatedly that this is not the place to ask...
[21:47] <Flare183> !wine > Cyrus25801
[21:47] <[nrx]> can  you change the 'depth' within xorg.conf and just expect it to work?
[21:47] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow:  where is Xorg.conf located?

[21:49] <RoxanneEDM> ok jack
[21:49] <Cyrus25801> I have been to #WineHQ and no one bothers answering my questions.but thanx any way
[21:49] <Nx> nrx:usually X has to be restared
[21:49] <DRebellion> RoxanneEDM: if researching with the bot yourself, could you /msg instead. thanks.

[21:49] <StrangeCharm_> if hibernation isn't working what's an obvious candidate for the thing that might be broken to cause it?
[21:49] <RoxanneEDM> why, someone else might find the info useful
[21:50] <DRebellion> RoxanneEDM: this channel is just too busy
[21:50] <Jack_Sparrow> RoxanneEDM: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/54258/
[21:50] <RoxanneEDM> it is??? i see me and you talking
[21:50] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: Checking now
[21:50] <RoxanneEDM> and Jack_Sparrow too
[21:50] <RoxanneEDM> Jack_Sparrow:  thank you  ;)
[21:51] <Jack_Sparrow> RoxanneEDM: And I am rather busy.. as you can see.
[21:51] <Flare183> get use to it
[21:51] <RoxanneEDM> i see that
[21:51] <Gibbwake> ok Im at the recovery prompt with root. I cant boot normally because of a printing port cupsd error. What can I type at the command prompt to nuke all printing services since I dont even have one?
[21:51] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: I thought you said you had a radeon?
[21:52] <Jagatuba> Ok let's see if anyone can figure this out.
[21:52] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow:  I do. I have onboard graphics too. But I want to use the radeon card
[21:53] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: HAve you disabled your onboard video in the bios/cmos?
[21:53] <Jagatuba> My usb drives used to mount automatically when I plugged them in. Now they don't. I just get an error
[21:53] <infornography> I have gutsy installed on my laptop. Earlier I was connected it up to my monitor which has a much bigger screen (same resolution though). It worked fine, but now its disconnected, I cant have any resolution other than 640x480. It should be 1680x1050. Anybody know how to fix it?
[21:53] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow: I'm using the on-board graphics right now, because I get a black screen when I enable the card in bios
[21:53] <ADemiG0D> i just installed ubuntu 7.04 on a desktop, how do i upgrade it to 7.10?
[21:53] <nemilar> ADemiG0D: run update-manager
[21:53] <Flare183> !upgrade | ADemiG0D
[21:53] <ubotu> ADemiG0D: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[21:53] <[nrx]> can someone please help me sort out the colour/depth on my ati radeon card please?
[21:54] <DRebellion> Jagatuba: it would help if you told us the error ;)
[21:54] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: Ok...  it might be easier to change the bios, have you sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to vesa mode then finish the changes...
[21:54] <ADemiG0D> thanks, i'll check it out
[21:54] <liniaal> infornography , you have to check the "screens & graphics screen"
[21:54] <liniaal> (administrator)
[21:54] <bugspray> [nrx]: vi /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[21:54] <Jagatuba> something about a bad super block and missing codepage or helper
[21:54] <linuxNoob> yay i got wine running
[21:54] <ADemiG0D> ah hah, i cant believe i missed that, thanks again
[21:54] <infornography> I have checked it. All options other than 640x480 are now gone
[21:54] <linuxNoob> i am god
[21:55] <[nrx]> bugspray, just the 'depth' line? it's currently at 24
[21:55] <Jagatuba> do you need verbatim
[21:55] <Flare183> linuxNoob: no your not
[21:55] <linuxNoob> lol
[21:55] <nickrud> Gibbwake: sudo mv /etc/rc2.d/S19cupsys /etc/rc2.d/K19cupsys to stop cups
[21:55] <linuxNoob> im using linux for the first time ever today
[21:55] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: How about editing xorg... line 65 to vesa
[21:55] <linuxNoob> i feel accomplished :)
[21:55] <Gibbwake> nickrud: thanks. whatll that do?
[21:55] <tass1412> does that work?:

[21:56] <bugspray> linuxNoob: if this is your first day using linux; then no problem exclaiming that you are God. that feeling is understandable
[21:56] <nickrud> Gibbwake: it will stop the cups daemon from starting . Cups is so deeply engrained in gnome (ubuntu) that removing it is not practical
[21:56] <nemilar> Jack_Sparrow: your xorg and his xorg lines don't necessarily coincide
[21:56] <tass1412> Flare183: and how about helping? (that text was flooding more than mine...)
[21:56] <Jack_Sparrow> nemilar: I am looking at his in the pastebin..  :)
[21:56] <[nrx]> what's the standard colour depth? is it 64?
[21:56] <nemilar> Jack_Sparrow: haha, my bad
[21:57] <Jagatuba> DRebellion: do you need a verbatim quote of the error?
[21:57] <bugspray> [nrx]: try setting it to 24
[21:57] <nemilar> [nrx]: 24
[21:57]  * nickrud laughs, anyone thinking Jack_Sparrow could make that mistake :)
[21:57] <[nrx]> bugspray, it's already at 24
[21:57] <nemilar> [nrx]: try 32
[21:57] <Jack_Sparrow> nickrud: tag... Hi buddy
[21:57] <[nrx]> nemilar, okay. i'll give that a bash
[21:57] <nickrud> Jack_Sparrow: hey there. Just stopping in on my coffee break
[21:57] <heyjoe`> gcc -o hello hello.c it tells me stdio.h is not found.... what am i doing wrong? is there a package i need to install ?
[21:57] <[Rollerman]> hola
[21:57] <[nrx]> nemilar, just by editing xorg.conf?
[21:57] <nemilar> heyjoe`: need build-essential
[21:57] <DRebellion> Jagatuba: of course
[21:57] <Tiancai> i'm trying to set scim as the default input method, but it just wont work... I already installed smart pinyin and chinese language support, then i run "im-switch -z fi_FI -s scim" but it won't change scim as the default. I've already rebooted a couple times.
[21:58] <Tiancai> can you help me?
[21:58] <[Rollerman]> hola??
[21:58] <bugspray> nemilar: that is not a valid color depth. 16 is the next that he should now try as a fallback if 24 is no-go
[21:58] <nemilar> [nrx]: what's the problem?
[21:58] <Jagatuba> k hang on a sec
[21:58] <Gibbwake> nickrud: whats the difference between k19 and s19?
[21:58] <nemilar> bugspray: 32 is valid
[21:58] <ruben-> DRebellion: It works now, after reinstall - don't know how, did the exact same thing :)
[21:58] <de4dsnake> hey, can neone help me troublshooting grub? ive got error 2 on first reboot after freshinstalling from live cd?
[21:58] <nemilar> bugspray: 24 is preferred however
[21:58] <lmnop> wud up gangsta
[21:58] <bugspray> 32 is only transparency layers over 24
[21:58] <ahunter_> wat up g
[21:58] <[nrx]> nemilar: everything was fine.. but graphics were slow, so i enabled restricted drivers. Now that it's enabled, colour depth is crap. it's currently set to 24
[21:59] <nickrud> Gibbwake: if you take a look at  ls  /etc/rc2.d , you'll see a bunch of services, S** means start in this order , K** means stop in this order (or don't start at all)
[21:59] <[nrx]> nemilar, all skin tones have a blue hue
[21:59] <DRebellion> ruben-: excellent
[21:59] <sybariten> uhm, i installed ubuntu via that windows-installer-thingy
[21:59] <bugspray> [nrx]: is your driver set to vesa?
[21:59] <Gibbwake> awesome
[21:59] <sybariten> and... well... now i am booting for the first time
[21:59] <ruben-> DRebellion: as soon as i logged on it said "use sudo ... ", works perfect :) I like :p
[21:59] <[nrx]> bugspray, set to flgrx (or whatever it is, sorry)
[21:59] <StrangeCharm_> in the forums, i read that hibernation not working is a common problem in ubuntu. is that true?
[21:59] <sybariten> but it stopped at a thing...  "starting local scripts" or something ... i had to press Alt-F1, and got a new prompt
[21:59] <Gibbwake> nickrud: how long should the sudo mv take? its not really doing anything
[21:59] <nickrud> Gibbwake: fyi , /etc/rcS.d is run first (and corresponds to recovery mode) then /etc/rc2.d
[22:00] <bugspray> [nrx]: has this fglrx install yet worked on this setup?
[22:00] <sd32> i just got a cross site scripting warning from the wikipedia  ubuntu article
[22:00] <nickrud> Gibbwake: you got the command line back? It's done
[22:00] <Jack_Sparrow> ahunter_: May I PM for a sec..
[22:00] <josh__> anyone know of a way to remove special characters from file names
[22:00] <de4dsnake> hey, can neone help me troublshooting grub? ive got error 2 on first reboot after freshinstalling from live cd? anyone please? I found that error 2 means drive not found. But live cd does see the drive and is able to mount it
[22:00] <nickrud> Gibbwake: mv is move, or rename
[22:01] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow: line 78 says "screen"
[22:01] <bugspray> [nrx]: set driver to vesa, do a little more research THEN try redo of fglrx install
[22:01] <[nrx]> bugspray, not as yet no. I had it as vesa before and it was fine but graphics were very slow. I'm running MythTV you see. So I enabled restricted drivers, now video speed etc is fine, but the colours all wrong on MythTV
[22:01] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: change default depth
[22:01] <infornography> exit
[22:02] <Alyxander> [nrx]: what graphics card?
[22:02] <bugspray> [nrx]: colors, etc with fglrx were fine with other apps?
[22:02] <andy_> Hi I'm running 7.10. Last week for "no reason at all" gnome began taking a long time to start after the gdm sign in. Any idea where to start looking for the problem?
[22:02] <Jagatuba> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sde1,    missing codepage or helper program, or other error
[22:02] <[nrx]> bugspray, not really. I can see the colour depth isn't quite right
[22:02] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow: ok, done
[22:02] <edju> dwnloaded kubuntu amd64 for an hp laptop and booted into it.  no recognition of the video driver - not surprising - it needs the linux driver from nvidia, which I havee on a cd.  i have a prompt, though.  how to start the install?  text install is OK with me.
[22:03] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow: restart and change bios?
[22:03] <Jack_Sparrow> yep
[22:03] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow: k
[22:03] <jimat> de4dsnake: what s the content of menu.lst?
[22:03] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: remember
[22:03] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[22:03] <sybariten> what should i do if ubuntu doesnt wanna go beyond "running local boot scripts (etc/rc.local)" ???
[22:03] <bugspray> [nrx]: not seeing the color problem myself, i would suspect problem with driver installed. (it most likely doesn't 100% match your card)
[22:03] <OldGreg> ok. so I just somehow managed to lock myself out of my own system
[22:04] <pepperjack> OldGreg: always a classic
[22:04] <OldGreg> yup
[22:04] <[nrx]> bugspray, it's sitting at gnome desktop just now and the colour is pretty much okay.
[22:04] <pepperjack> OldGreg: you can boot to single user shell and run passwd username
[22:04] <theRealballchalk> who's using FireGL V3200?
[22:04] <OldGreg> it's not that. it's permissions
[22:04] <[nrx]> bugspray, but if i fire up MythTV, I can see all the skin tones are off, everything has a blue hue to it
[22:04] <Gibb> nickrud: damn, still have that cupsd error on boot, its hanging up on it
[22:04] <pepperjack> OldGreg: what did you do?
[22:05] <de4dsnake> jimat: I wont b able to paste it, because its on another machine. However it doesnt even got the grub menu. the error occurs before.
[22:05] <OldGreg> i was messing with the permissions on some of the files in my home directory, and now I can't get Gnome or KDE to run. it can't create the hidden files in my home dir
[22:05] <Alyxander> [nrx]: what graphics card?
[22:05] <OldGreg> i can access the folders as root in recovery mode, so it's all there
[22:05] <OldGreg> i just can't log in normall
[22:05] <OldGreg> *normally
[22:05] <[nrx]> Alyxander, ATI Radeon
[22:05] <bugspray> [nrx]: so, get info on your card verified, research all versions of ubuntu-specific-fglrx ATI drivers available. if no ubuntu-specific driver 100% compatible with specifically YOUR card, try ATI driver from ATI
[22:06] <Jagatuba> DRebellion?
[22:06] <pepperjack> OldGreg: so a sudo chown -R $USER:USER ~   <-- fixes?
[22:06] <pepperjack> OldGreg: er chown -R $USER:$USER
[22:06] <Jack_Sparrow> [nrx]: Which number radeon
[22:06] <Alyxander> either way you can use envy to install the latest driver and then use the control center to make adjustments. be careful though
[22:06] <OldGreg> PepperJack: I haven't tried that
[22:06] <jimat> de4dsnake: see if it you run: "grub", then "find /boot/grub/stage1" if it can find where grub is
[22:06] <OldGreg> two minutes
[22:06] <Jack_Sparrow> [nrx]: 9500 and lower can not use fglrx
[22:07] <DRebellion> Jagatuba: i don't know
[22:07] <Jagatuba> dang
[22:07] <quittt> hey
[22:07] <jimat> de4dsnake: if not found, you may need to reinstall grub
[22:07] <DRebellion> Jagatuba: what format is the drive?
[22:07] <nickrud> Gibb: a sec
[22:07] <Jagatuba> FAT 16
[22:07] <Alpha_Cluster> how do i get it so that under visual effects that custom will work? for some reason only extra and normal do things and by clicking custom it only does what is set in extra
[22:07] <de4dsnake> jimat: where should i look for grub. I  after mounting the hard drive i can see grub in the boot folder
[22:08] <Jagatuba> it's weird because it used to automount
[22:08] <barfender> I am getting 'no signal' from my monitor. This happens after 30min of activity in console mode and in xfce with fglrx loaded. What could be the problem and could HardyHeron/Aplha fix this?
[22:08] <__IaN__> HI! only 1 newbe question, how can i be root user???
[22:08] <Jagatuba> even like a couple of weeks ago i used it
[22:08] <pepperjack> !root | __IaN__
[22:08] <ubotu> __IaN__: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[22:08] <OldGreg> PepperJack: tried it. says missing operand after :
[22:08] <Jack_Sparrow> barfender: Dont look to hardy to fix a gutsy problem
[22:09] <Jagatuba> the only thing I've done since them is installed some updates to ubuntu
[22:09] <coldboot|home> How is Evolution these days? Does anyone use it with Exchange Server?
[22:09] <Jack_Sparrow> __IaN__: USe sudo or gksudo
[22:09] <pepperjack> OldGreg: so basically do this insteal sudo chown -R OldGreg:OldGreg ~  <-- where OldGreg is your username
[22:09] <Jagatuba> gksudo
[22:09] <nickrud> Gibb: ls /etc/rc2.d , make sure  that S19cupsys does not exist, and K19cupsys does.
[22:09] <__IaN__> thanx very much
[22:09] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[22:09] <OldGreg> pepperjack: just realized there was a tilde at the end of that
[22:09] <quittt> how do I change terminal fonts?
[22:09] <pepperjack> __IaN__: welcome to ubuntu
[22:09] <Gibb> nickrud: ok
[22:09] <[nrx]> Jack_Sparr, not sure... it's from HIS
[22:09] <de4dsnake> jimat: OK. i managed to paste after all http://paste.ubuntu.nl.org/54261/

[22:09] <jimat> grub
[22:09] <jimat> find /boot/grub/stage1

[22:10] <de4dsnake> jimat: yes it does
[22:10] <DRebellion> cox377: rm -r ~/.Trash
[22:10] <[nrx]> front of the box says 'X1550 PCI Express'
[22:10] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow: ok, that froze on the Ubuntu flash screen, but worked up till then
[22:11] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow: Splash, not flash
[22:11] <VvWolverinevV> hi, i've been having trouble with ubuntu randomly logging out while i'm working, i have no idea how to even start troubleshooting that
[22:11] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: so are you in recovery mode ?
[22:11] <Jagatuba> some one earlier said it may be a problem with my fstab?
[22:11] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: or did you turn on the onboard again.
[22:11] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow: No, I changed back to onboard in bios
[22:12] <freyyr> VvWolverinevV: do you mean that the xserver restarts?
[22:12] <[nrx]> Alyxander: have you had this problem, too?
[22:12] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: Did you try reconvery mode and the sudo dpkg....
[22:12] <VvWolverinevV> freyyr: how do i know?
[22:12] <heyjoe`> i'm getting the following error when i type sudo apt-get install build-essential Failed to fetch http://za.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux-source-2.6.20/linux-libc-dev_2.6.20-16.32_i386.deb  404 Not Found

[22:12] <VvWolverinevV> freyyr: im a n00b
[22:12] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow: recovery mode with the PCI enabled?
[22:12] <de4dsnake> jimat: that find command gives me (hd0,0). Any more ideas?
[22:12] <Alyxander> [nrx]: yes
[22:12] <Dmole> can anyone tell me what is happening with the escape sequences in this BASH command?:          export com=`echo "$com" | perl -pi -w -e 's/\\/\\\\/g;'`;
[22:12] <freyyr> VvWolverinevV: like, does the screen do dark, you wait a few minutes, and then it kicks you back to the login screen?
[22:13] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: Yes, onboard off, recovery mode... and the command I gave
[22:13] <[nrx]> Alyxander - how did you resolve it?
[22:13] <jrib> Dmole: \\ is \
[22:13] <barfender> Jack_Sparrow maybe, but ive searched all over the net and haven't found any solution to why the monitor goes black..i mean fglrxinfo and glxgears | grep "direct" confirms that everything works.
[22:13] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow: sudo dpkg... is the command?
[22:13] <VvWolverinevV> freyyr: the screen goes dark, i see a few lines of bash that go to quick to read and then i get the login again, yes
[22:13] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[22:14] <jimat> de4dsnake: try reinstall grub, in the grub shell: root(hd0,0), then setup(hd0), then exit
[22:14] <edju> anyone?  i'd love to get this installed!
[22:14] <NMaji1> I currently get my IP by DHCP from my ISP.  How can I find out what this IP is remotely? Is there a way I can have a cron job run wget on whatsmyip.org and email it to myself or something?  I'm pulling at strings here, I really don't even know if what I want to do is feasible.
[22:14] <Alyxander> i was using svideo and an nvidia card i installed the driver with envy. and then used the control center to adjust the video settings
[22:14] <Dmole> jrib: yah I want \ to be replaced with  \\ but i get this error :         Substitution replacement not terminated at -e line 1.
[22:14] <Jack_Sparrow> dan__: select vesa mode and 1024 res and accept all other defaults
[22:14] <freyyr> VvWolverinevV: does it happen while you're typing?  sometimes you can accidentally hit the shortcut to kill X
[22:14] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow: ok, going to do it now
[22:14] <[nrx]> Alyxander: MythTV control center?
[22:14] <zibor> alguien me puede ayudar con el amule
[22:14] <Alyxander> ati gives you with the catalyst control center. that you get when using envy
[22:14] <VvWolverinevV> freyyr: which is?
[22:14] <OldGreg> pepperjack:didn't fix
[22:14] <de4dsnake> jimat: i tried reinstalling already with no success
[22:14] <bugspray> edju: what is it you are trying to do? sorry i haven't payed attention
[22:14] <jrib> Dmole: I don't know perl, but sed 's/\\/\\\\/g' should work
[22:14] <[nrx]> Alyxander, not sure what envy is, sorry :/
[22:14] <OldGreg> sorry. smiley appeared out of nowhere

[22:15] <[nrx]> I have the restricted driver installed tho.. but can't find anywhere to configure the card! :(
[22:15] <bugspray> edju: you are only stumped on how to install the nvidia driver?
[22:16] <jimat> de4dsnake: is it a RAID harddisk?
[22:16] <freyyr> VvWolverinevV: running any special window managers (beryl, compiz)?  That happened to me a couple times due to instability
[22:16] <fiXXXerMet> |startup
[22:16] <Alyxander> Jack_Sparrow: envy works if your careful and also it gives you  a way to configure your cards
[22:16] <VvWolverinevV> freyyr: compiz
[22:16] <de4dsnake> jimat: yes raid0, sorry if i havent mentioned before
[22:16] <fiXXXerMet> Erm what is the bot command?
[22:16] <jrib> Dmole: hmm ok, maybe I'm wrong with sed (just tried).  Let me play
[22:16] <VvWolverinevV> freyyr: how did you fix it?
[22:16] <Alyxander> ubuntu doesnt include that and its the easiest way to get them to work
[22:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Alyxander: Envy is NOT something to be recommended in here...
[22:17] <freyyr> VvWolverinevV: I stopped using compiz.  My issue was the ATI driver was (at the time) not fully supported with compiz
[22:17] <Flare183> !evny
[22:17] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about evny - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[22:17] <Alyxander> people complain that thye have had problems ive used it for both ati and nvidia and have been happy
[22:17] <Flare183> !envy
[22:17] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »
[22:17] <[nrx]> s there an envy equivalent then?
[22:17] <freyyr> VvWolverinevV: you might try updating your drivers
[22:17] <edju> bugspray, that would work - though so would a text install, i don't neeed a gui now.  trieed various drivers with dpkg-reconfigure, but some of the configs stump me.
[22:17] <freyyr> VvWolverinevV: otherwise, i'm not sure.
[22:17] <NMajik> On a similar note to my above question, can an email be sent from a CLI?
[22:17] <VvWolverinevV> freyyr: are they not automatically updated through the repos?
[22:17] <Alyxander> Jack_Sparrow: why is that? its functional
[22:17] <VvWolverinevV> freyyr: i may try disabling compiz if it happens again, thanks for the advice
[22:18] <freyyr> VvWolverinevV: not the official ones, if you're using them.
[22:18] <freyyr> VvWolverinevV: okay
[22:18] <Jack_Sparrow> [nrx]: sudo aticonfig
[22:18] <coz_> VvWolverinevV, you also may want to go to #compiz-fusion and talk with adamk about ati  solutions for your system
[22:18] <bugspray> edju: one sec; i am googling the pertinant ubuntu specific nvidia tutorial. i did it once before myself; it went fine
[22:18] <Jack_Sparrow> Alyxander: It causes other problems
[22:18] <jimat> de4dsnake: I never experience it, but I know a good link which may help: http://ohioloco.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=630644
[22:18] <VvWolverinevV> freyyr: i have a geforce card
[22:18] <Alyxander> yes I know people screw up the xorg.conf at times but its normally contributed to no one helping them
[22:18] <freyyr> VvWolverinevV: hmm, I'm not sure then.  sorry.
[22:18] <coz_> VvWolverinevV, you are using nvidia?
[22:19] <coz_> VvWolverinevV, and which card specifically?
[22:19] <VvWolverinevV> coz_: yes, well at least nvidia hardware
[22:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Alyxander: Way worse that that.. and a topic for...  offtopic
[22:19] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey all, I've noticed that my "X" process is eating up my processor usage after a while of use. What is up with this? It never happened before
[22:19] <VvWolverinevV> coz_: evga geforce 8600GT
[22:19] <coz_> VvWolverinevV, and which driver version is installed?
[22:19] <Jack_Sparrow> VvWolverinevV: bugger of a card
[22:19] <paule118> evV, and which driver version is installed?
 VvWolverinevV: bugger of a card
[22:19] <VvWolverinevV> coz_: unsure, i would have to check when i get home
[22:20] <Alyxander> but from experience it works and for what he needs to do is the best and easiest solution and its on topic, he has ubuntu and is trying to get mythtv to work and asked if there was a way to configure the colors on the card
[22:20] <VvWolverinevV> Jack_Sparrow: how so?
[22:20] <coz_> VvWolverinevV,     glxinfo|grep OpenGL\ version
[22:20] <sterling> Hey guys
[22:20] <VvWolverinevV> coz_: im on my macbook atm :P
[22:20] <ircleuser> all i wanna do is change the damn colour depth! :(
[22:20] <coz_> VvWolverinevV, oh you are not at the system  ok
[22:20] <paule118>  and which driver version
[22:20] <sterling> Anyone know anything that runs .lit files for Ubuntu?
[22:20] <Alyxander> but what ever [nrx] pm me if you need help
[22:20] <edju> bugspray, thanks, but i just got the gui - used the vesa driver.  i can install the nvidia one after kubuntu is all set.  thanks agin.
[22:20] <sybariten> is there any way to see all, or at least parts of, the bootup messages, from an SSH machine?
[22:20] <Jack_Sparrow> VvWolverinevV: If you look at the nvidia binary drivers page.. specifically excluded
[22:20] <bugspray> edju: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=263851
[22:20] <WhoNeedszzz> anyone ever have any problems with the "X" process?
[22:20] <de4dsnake> jimat: that link describes how to install a fake raid as secondary harddrives. Im actually trying to installl kubuntu on my raid hd
[22:21] <sybariten> i am asking because this machine i am typing from has a screen, but i'm thinking of moving it to another room... and i need to know if the startup is OK now or not
[22:21] <VvWolverinevV> Jack_Sparrow: link?
[22:21] <Jack_Sparrow> VvWolverinevV: If your card does not appear in this [WWW] list of cards known by Ubuntu 7.04 NVIDIA binary drivers (e.g. the 8600GT) then there is no Ubuntu 7.04 supported binary driver.
[22:21] <bugspray> edju: i did find the compiz/beryl stuff VERY buggy and i regretted fooling with it
[22:21] <de4dsnake> jimat: also im unsure if i reallly have a software raid or hardware raid
[22:21] <Jack_Sparrow> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[22:22] <bugspray> Jack_Sparrow: thanks
[22:22] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[22:22] <jrib> Dmole: hmm, no it's working fine with sed as I posted
[22:22] <Jack_Sparrow> bugspray: There may be a better soultion by now.. I just dont know it
[22:22] <RazzoRz> Hey Folks!
[22:23] <VvWolverinevV> Jack_Sparrow: wow who would know to check that before building a system?
[22:23] <WhoNeedszzz> if anyone has had a "X" process high usage problem please pm me
[22:23] <edju> bugspray, good to know.  in order to do the install, gotta disconnect here.  bookmarked the url.  thanks.
[22:23] <jimat> de4dsnake: when you install windows, did you install a driver with a special CD first before installing windows?
[22:23] <jrib> Dmole: echo '\\\\' | perl -pi -w -e 's/\\/\\\\/g;'  works here too
[22:23] <Flare183> !language > dogshi1
[22:23] <Jack_Sparrow> VvWolverinevV: I expect a good solution soon...
[22:23] <bugspray> edju; np, good luck
[22:24] <Dmole> jrib: yah i think it's the export ''; that is messing up the escape
[22:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Everyone, play nice...  I need some lunch....
[22:24] <de4dsnake> jimat: i didnt install windows yet
[22:24] <RazzoRz> Having a issue with Hang time while rebooting and shutting down... is there a way to find out what is delaying the shutdown or rebooting?

[22:24] <sb_> hello, is this the right forum to ask a question about remote desktop protocol?

[22:25] <de4dsnake> jimat: but previously when i had raid 2 i didnt need to do nething for windows installation. havent installed ubuntu on the system prev. tho

[22:34] <phroughy> lollo: you will probably have to use sudo if you made it with root.  so "sudo mv /the/file/you/want/to/move /where/you/want/to/put/it"
[22:34] <WhoNeedszzz> jaggy, google it

[22:41] <xomp> Does anyone know if it's possible to install & run ubuntu Gutsy from a portable hard drive?
[22:41] <jrib> adelie43: restricted-manager
[22:41] <Slart> xomp: if you can boot from it I'd say yes
[22:41] <adelie43> xomp: yes. even usb key  :)
[22:41] <adelie43> jrib thanks
[22:41] <RazzoRz> sb: if this helps let me know .... http://www.rdesktop.org/
[22:41] <bugspray> xomp; sure it is. a boot manager may be the only issue
[22:41] <Kloss> Slart: do you know a list with many of those programs. i would recognize my old one there!
[22:42] <Slart> WhoNeedszzz: no process called X there.. where did you see this process?
[22:42] <lollo> well guys, i've used the command mv as u suggested but the backup file has been only copied :S
[22:42] <WhoNeedszzz> Slart, it is in the xfce-taskmanager
[22:42] <Slart> Kloss: you could search in synaptic.. or use the Add/Remove menu
[22:42] <xomp> bugspray, I have the ability to boot to a usb device in my PC, wasn't sure if it took an act of congress to install/boot Gutsy from it lol. Thanks
[22:42] <dman> Slart: X is the graphical backbone of almost all linux
[22:42] <WhoNeedszzz> Slart, xfce4-taskmanager*
[22:42] <lollo> i'll remove it from the root using rm .. !
[22:42] <Slart> Kloss: or run "apt-cache search mp3 player" and see what it comes up with
[22:42] <xomp> although it does take an act of congress to get Gutsy to work on my Optiplex :/
[22:43] <Slart> dman: mm.. indeed.. but there is no process called X, is there?
[22:43] <cyrus82> hello, is the hardy alpha 4 iso out yet?
[22:43] <phroughy> lollo, good job :P
[22:43] <bugspray> xomp: i don't know about the act of congress. rather bipartisan these days... maybe you'll only need the stars to be aligned properly
[22:43] <lollo> the command mv copies or cuts the file ? ?
[22:43] <WhoNeedszzz> dman, I am having it read 99% after idling
[22:43] <Slart> WhoNeedszzz: hang on.. I'll check my xubuntu machine again
[22:43] <lollo> thx LoL

[22:45] <WhoNeedszzz> Slart, dman, I see "X" in xfce4-taskmanager

[22:45] <RazzoRz> My other silly question is!...  i have recorded my desktop and the program that records the desktop uses a ogg format!... now from what i am reading and being told that a Ogg format is a Sounds Format. and when i try to upload it to youtube it fails... anyone has a answer for me?
[22:46] <xomp> RazzoRz, .ogg is a container
[22:46] <dman> Slart: i don't know. My xubuntu install isn't functioning currently, so i can't check. regardless, it is the graphical server, unless it's something utterly unrelated...
[22:46] <RazzoRz> Xomp: explain
[22:46] <magnetron> RazzoRz: you can use the avidemux program to convert it to something else
[22:46] <xomp> RazzoRz, .ogg can support multiple subtitle, audio and video streams.
[22:46] <LockesRabb> anyone have experience with tilda? or at least the ubuntu keyboard shortcuts?
[22:46] <RazzoRz> xopm: thank you  Magnetron Ty...
[22:47] <xomp> RazzoRz, I'm not sure if youtube supports .ogg files or not. But I do know .avi works :)
[22:47] <dman> WhoNeedszzz: did you try to kill it?
[22:47] <Slart> WhoNeedszzz: I've got that process there too.. very strange
[22:47] <WhoNeedszzz> LockesRabb, tilda just brings up a cmd prompt
[22:47] <magnetron> RazzoRz: you can find avidemux in applications > add/remove
[22:47] <WhoNeedszzz> dman, it is a root process
[22:47] <RazzoRz> xomp: i know that it don't due to the fact that i have yet to upload anything..
[22:47] <lollo> ok, i've another question ... someone can tell me if these files: initrd.img.old ; vmlinuz vmlinuz.old    can be removed without damage the whole system ?
[22:47] <RazzoRz> magnetron: Ty
[22:48] <LockesRabb> whoneedszzz yes, but i want to know how to make the prompt go away when im done with it
[22:48] <nagyv> hi! how can I connect from my phone to my laptop via bluetooth? I would like to send a file over to the computer. I could connect already with MultiSync, but my phone can't find the laptop.
[22:48] <K3nt21228> hello
[22:48] <WhoNeedszzz> LockesRabb, whatever the key is to bring it up
[22:48] <LockesRabb> whoneedszzz, whenever im done with it, i type exit, but then later when i want to use it again, i have to restart tilda
[22:48] <K3nt21228> i was hoping someone with C++ knowledge could help me out?
[22:48] <RazzoRz> magnetron: it don't seem to be there
[22:48] <dman> WhoNeedszzz: hmm
[22:48] <Slart> WhoNeedszzz: ah.. it's the xorg process.. I compared the process id's.. I have no idea why it translates it into X though... bad xfce.. bad bad xfce
[22:48] <WhoNeedszzz> dman, i have to go, will u be on in a couple hours?
[22:48] <dman> lollo: those are essential
[22:49] <LockesRabb> ahhh...
[22:49] <lollo> here UBUNTU question only .. !
[22:49] <bugspray> magnetron: WHAT a NICK! reminds me of either transformers or pokemon, but still...very cool
[22:49] <dman> WhoNeedszzz:  probably
[22:49] <quittt> hey, do you know how?
[22:49] <LockesRabb> thanks whoneedszzz
[22:49] <WhoNeedszzz> dman, ok thanks

[22:49] <LockesRabb> whoneedszzz question, how do i change tilda preferences?
[22:49] <xerxes1358> I have a question about wine + VBA. I hear different stories. Does Office 2003 WITH support for VBA work or not? I need to write VBA code.

[22:49] <K3nto> im having a little trouble with some C++ code
[22:50] <lollo> okz :D
[22:50] <bugspray> magnetron: you should consider using a little more care in showing others your level of transformers knowledge
[22:50] <LockesRabb> whoneedszzz i figured it out, just had to right click on it
[22:50] <LockesRabb> thanks
[22:51] <magnetron> bugspray: ;) the transformer you are thinking of is named megatron. megatron != magnetron
[22:51] <|newbie|> ciao
[22:51] <dman> lollo: the vmlinuz in root is actually a symlink to a file in /boot

[22:51] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[22:51] <RazzoRz> magnatron: is there a cmd in term that i can get avidemux?
[22:51] <pablocpg> i have read that a lot of people have had the same proble due the alc861
[22:51] <ADN69> Ello!
[22:51] <dman> ADN69: hey
[22:52] <bugspray> magnetron: okay. that seals it. you are a geek. or maybe a nerd. i don't know, but knowing that kind of stuff can get rocks thrown at you in some circles
[22:52] <pablocpg> but i don't know how to solve it
[22:52] <lollo> i see these files in " / " , is it normal dman ?
[22:52] <pablocpg> some body can help, is really bad be without sound
[22:52] <ADN69> I just installed Ubuntu 7.10, and i wanna know how can i install Beryl template...
[22:52] <lollo> lol pab
[22:52] <RazzoRz> magnetron: sorry for the misspelling ,,, is there a way to D/l it from Term  for avidemux
[22:52] <pablocpg> i can't hear even a beep system
[22:52] <EricBlair> i prefer 'nerd,' as in revenge of
[22:52] <ADN69> I have aquamarine-0.2.1
[22:52] <magnetron> RazzoRz: use the synaptic program and search for "avidemux"
[22:52] <dman> lollo: yeah, there should be a few. anything in there is not to be messed with. to be safe, only delete things in /home
[22:52] <pablocpg> please help me
[22:53] <lollo> ok dman you've been very wise
[22:53] <RazzoRz> magnetron: thats odd says its installed
[22:53] <lollo> thx !!!
[22:53] <dman> lollo: just a fellow ubuntu user =]
[22:54] <kahrytan> Anyone know how to force  Sound Juicer to use MP3 codec and ignoring preferences? Codec is installed
[22:54] <RazzoRz> magnetron: got it .. thanks
[22:54] <ADN69> or just an simple mirc version...not this xchat..
[22:54] <Blah> How do I go root in Ubuntu?
[22:54] <dman> Blah: why?
[22:54] <bugspray> Blah: try sudo su
[22:55] <jrib> !root > blah (read the private message from ubotu)
[22:55] <jrib> bugspray: please do not recommend that
[22:55] <Blah> dman: I need to shut down my firewall (shorewall) and su does not work
[22:55] <magnetron> bugspray: i never thought of transformers when choosing this nick, i chose it because of the electromagnetic meaning. then all i here on IRC "OMG U R MEGATRON TRANSFORMER" so i eventually learned that some ppl (like you) associate it with transformers.
[22:55] <dman> jrib: ditto. very dangerous...
[22:55] <kahrytan> !root | Blah
[22:55] <ubotu> Blah: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[22:56] <bugspray> Blah: note su -m to run graphical apps, too
[22:56] <jrib> Blah: how did you manage to install shorewall without knowing about root and sudo in ubuntu?
[22:56] <DRebellion> bugspray: Blah: actually, gksudo
[22:56] <magnetron> bugspray: i think YOU are the one with a too extensive Transformer and Pokémon knowledge
[22:56] <Some_Person> Can we run Mac programs on ubunut?
[22:56] <dman> Blah:  if you **really** need to log in as root,know the risks, and turn off your internet first. then search ubuntu forums for a tutorial.
[22:56] <Jack_Sparrow> jrib: I just sent off the latest upstreamdev log-modules to your email account.  PM me when you have looked them over.  Back later..
[22:56] <kahrytan> bugspray->  gksu ....
[22:56] <jrib> Jack_Sparrow: cool, I will
[22:56] <lollo> well the last question: i've 3 partitions, 1 for linux and the other 2 for data storage ... These 2 partitions have the mount point in /media (as default) ... well, if i format Ubuntu i don't format these partitions i hope ..
[22:57] <dman> Some_Person:  not that i know of, but i suspect there is a workaround if you really need to.
[22:57] <pablocpg> somebody know about sound bugs?
[22:57] <bugspray> magnetron: okay... so you got me. damn! (/me peers about nervously) - that's not a bad thing, is it?
[22:57] <dman> lollo: not unless you specify to. the filesystem isn't an actual folder layout. it's something completely different
[22:57] <matthijs> JOIN ubuntu_motu
[22:58] <kahrytan> Anyone know how to force  Sound Juicer to use MP3 codec and ignoring preferences? Codec is installed
[22:58] <Blah> jrib: I just installed it, no problem there. Now I need to shut it down for some tests, and "etc/init.d/shorewall stop" doesn't work.
[22:58] <dman> lollo: just to be safe, tho, unplug them. it's worth the time for the peace of mind'
[22:58] <quittt> how do I change console's font and encoding?
[22:58] <magnetron> bugspray: not at all. /join #ubuntu-offtopic , i think you'll like it there
[22:58] <quittt> !font
[22:58] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[22:58] <jrib> Blah: k, read the link ubotu gave then
[22:58] <Blah> dman: Thanks, I will try that
[22:58] <Gibb> how do I unmount so I can run fsck properly to do a diskcheck?
[22:59] <jrib> quittt: did the command I suggested not work?
[22:59] <DRebellion> Gibb: umount /dev/<drive>
[22:59] <dman> Blah: np
[22:59] <Blah> jrib: Will do, thanks
[22:59] <quittt> jrib, I remember that there was a easy programme for that
[22:59] <Some_Person> dman: like?
[22:59] <Gibb> DRebellion: how do I find the drive names that are mounted?
[22:59] <dman> quittt: it's in ~/.bashrc look online for  a tut.
[22:59] <DRebellion> Gibb: df
[23:00] <dman> Some_Person:  i don't know any, but i **vaguely** remeber someone mentioning one. nothing else tho. sorry!
[23:00] <quittt> dman, I want to change the whole system
[23:00] <Gibb> DRebellion: thx
[23:01] <dman> quittt:  maybe /etc/bash.bashrc?

[23:03] <lollo> the 2 partitions that i have in the folder /media , i must move them or i've understood bad ?
[23:03] <oem__> !flashissues
[23:03] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[23:03] <iari> bardyr: What do you mean type ? Until now I used Checkpoint's SecureClient on my Windows.
[23:03] <pablocpg> please helpme with the sound?

[23:04] <StrangeCharm> thanks jrib
[23:05] <quittt> done =]
[23:05] <dman> lollo: the partitions should be okay, actyually. i thought you meant seperate disks. backup if you're going to reformat the ubuntu partition tho just in case

[23:06] <lollo> ok dman, so if i format ubuntu i don't format the other partitions ( 1 of that is in another HD ) ... that was my question .. :S
[23:06] <jrib> pablocpg: what client are you using?
[23:06] <jrib> !usplash > quittt (read the private message from ubotu)
[23:06] <pablocpg> jrib, ubuntu
[23:06] <bardyr> iari, install network-manager-pptp network-manager-vpnc and a VNC option will appear in the network manager, im not sure if it will work but its worth the try
[23:06] <jrib> jaggy: irssi, weechat, bitchx
[23:06] <jaggy> thnx
[23:07] <plectru1> dman: i have a seperat panel on my second screen, but it is missing the notifiers like nm-applet
[23:07] <jrib> pablocpg: what irc client to talk with me now?
[23:07] <pablocpg> jrib #ubuntu
[23:07] <jrib> !sound | pablocpg
[23:07] <ubotu> pablocpg: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[23:07] <iari> bardyr: Thanks, I'll give it a try.. :)
[23:09] <dman> plectru1: add the notification area
[23:10] <plectru1> dman: all the other applets are available and i do not find an option in gconf to activate nm-applet on the second screen
[23:10] <dman> lollo: you have to do it manually, not guided when you reinstall tho. otherwise it will wipe them. you have to specifically format just the ubuntu partition and not the others.
[23:11] <x-punk> how do I install google earth on 64 linux?
[23:11] <x-punk> fixes itself using the googleearthlinux.bin file?
[23:11] <dman> plectru1:  you can't just add the network monitor applet?
[23:11] <ubuntu> what's up
[23:12] <jrib> !medibuntu | x-punk
[23:12] <dman> ubuntulog: not much. you?

[23:12] <jrib> x-punk: yeah, it's packaged in there

[23:12] <jrib> nemilar: yes?
[23:12] <nemilar> Zee is spamming
[23:13] <nemilar> (see directly above)
[23:13] <plectru1> dmon: i can add the network monitor applet, but i need the nm-applet and the pidgin notifier...
[23:13] <jrib> nemilar: thanks
[23:13] <nemilar> thank you all powerful one
[23:13] <Codenut> I am running fiesty right now, is there a good reason to upgrade to gutsy
[23:13] <plectru1>  dman: i can add the network monitor applet, but i need the nm-applet and the pidgin notifier...
[23:13] <nemilar> jrib: just so I know, is the command ops or "op"
[23:13] <jrib> nemilar: you did it correctly, though both may work.  ubotu is just sleeping...
[23:14] <nemilar> oh true
[23:14] <nemilar> bots gotta rest, too, ya know
[23:14] <bardyr> Codenut, nice desktop effects and newer drivers, better hardware support, etc
[23:14] <dman> plectru1:  the notification area applet contains both of those. maybe it just won't replicate the icons twice? maybe it's a bug.
[23:14] <Codenut> Thanks bardyr
[23:14] <feierfox> hello
[23:14] <feierfox> i'm looking for a tool to find duplicatet-files and to auto-delete them
[23:14] <Codenut> I may do it.
[23:14] <alesan> !firewire
[23:15] <Codenut> I have heard that fiesty is better for my ham radio BBS software
[23:15] <Slart> Codenut: I'd say that upgrading to gutsy was worth it... I think the restricted drivers is new and compiz is not bolted on.. some people have had problems, luckily I'm not one of them
[23:15] <mkz> is there a way to determine the web server servicing a web site?  I'd like to know if a host is running apache
[23:15] <Codenut> I am running an AMD processor.
[23:15] <alesan> what is a program to watch output from a dv camera?
[23:15] <dman> Codenut: if there;s no really good reason, it's probably best to stick with what works =P
[23:15] <JordiGH> Yay!
[23:15] <JordiGH> synaptics touchpad works with .24 kernel.
[23:15] <dman> Codenut: bad things do happen...

[23:15]  * ManarD- omg!!! terrorist planes strike NY again!! http://s2.gladiatus.ro/game/c.php?uid=53000
[23:15] <Slart> mkz: can't you check the server response? some developer tools for firefox?
[23:15] <bardyr> mkz, reqeust a page that does not exits
[23:15] <bardyr> mkz exists|
[23:16] <Codenut> Yes, bad things happen everywhere.
[23:16] <JordiGH> Still no sound, but at least now applications seem to believe that a sound card exists (probably something muted in a non-obvious way).
[23:16] <JordiGH> Compiz working, sorta, kinda.
[23:16] <jrib> mkz: netcraft is one way, telnet and some knowledge is probably another way
[23:16] <dman> see you all later. dinnertme here
[23:16] <dan__> Jack_Sparrow: you here?
[23:16] <EricBlair> no bad things in heaven
[23:16] <JordiGH> This is progress.
[23:16] <Codenut> I am new to linux (5 years) so I think I will wait until there is a have to rather than a why?
[23:16] <plectru1> dman: i do not need the notification area on my first screen, only on the second one. Is it not possible to change the screen id of the notification area to screen 2?
[23:17] <DjViper> Codenut: 5 years?
[23:17] <Slart> Codenut: try the LTS version coming out this spring, hardy...
[23:17] <EricBlair> new @ 5 yrs. i c.
[23:17] <mkz> thanks. I've got the webdeveloper addon installed in ff and sure enough checking the response header tells me the server type (among other things).  Thanks
[23:17] <Slart> mkz: you're welcome
[23:17] <bardyr> Codenut, well gutsy was a really nice improvement over feisty, but if everything is working theres no need
[23:17] <nemilar> Hardy isn't going to be out for a few months
[23:18] <DjViper> nemilar: 3
[23:18] <Codenut> Yep, started with Red hat 7.1 and have been confuzed ever since.
[23:18] <DjViper> Codenut: hehe
[23:18]  * Slart gets confused by windows these days
[23:18] <nemilar> DjViper: just under, actually ;)
[23:19] <DjViper> nemilar: with downloadtimes at lauch... that dead on :P
[23:19] <DjViper> +s
[23:19] <mkz> .part
[23:19] <nemilar> lol
[23:19] <Codenut> Still studying the zen of the file structure. There is stuff EVERYWHERE!!!!
[23:19] <nemilar> DjViper: scheduled release date is the 24th
[23:19] <jrib> Codenut: FHS is your friend
[23:19] <DjViper> Codenut: yeah, unlike in windows where all the 'folders' are empty ;)
[23:19] <Codenut> And then the sticky bit..........................
[23:20] <nemilar> <3 the sticky bit
[23:20] <DjViper> Codenut: there are lots of 'cheatsheets' on the web about the dir-structure
[23:20] <Codenut> Really?
[23:20] <Codenut> How would I google?
[23:20] <nemilar> Unix Filesystem Structure ?
[23:20] <DjViper> _I_ for one would not mind seeing a change in the dir-structure tho... there is a lot of backwards stuff there
[23:21] <EricBlair> googles easy, imo
[23:21] <Codenut> Thanks, I will google that thanks.
[23:21] <Codenut> I gotta go eat!!! Ta!
[23:21] <ramsesx> salu
[23:21] <Codenut> salut

[23:27] <drunkmuppets> user13_ | When you say ip forwarding you don't mean port forwarding correct?
[23:27] <Juhaz> screen, what else?
[23:27] <sybariten_2> usr13_: naaah, why would they call it GUN ??
[23:27] <sybariten_2> ;)
[23:27] <Pelo> sybariten_2, gnu screen ?
[23:28] <bbc> I want to install Kdevelop can I install on GNOME?
[23:28] <Pelo> sybariten_2, what do you mean xserver ?

[23:28] <DjViper> bbc: yes
[23:28] <syntaxerror55> sybariten_2: synaptic
[23:28] <usr13_> sybariten_2: Just another way of saying open source software.
[23:28] <sybariten_2> usr13_:, Pelo : i did apt-cache search screen  .... spit out a lot ... then i grepped for GNU and gnu .....
[23:28] <bbc> DjViper: how?

[23:28] <sybariten_2> but i didnt see it
[23:28] <DjViper> bbc: apt-get install kdevelop
[23:28] <Pelo> bbc, yes , do it trought synaptic, the appropirate qt libs will get installed as well
[23:28] <Pelo> linchapulin, all over
[23:29] <SexyJames1337> hi there everyone
[23:29] <syntaxerror55> sybariten_2: You mean the GUI for Apt I belive. There are two: Synaptic (gnome) and Adept (KDE)
[23:29] <Shadow6363> hi, im using gutsy and have a motherboard sata raid setup, how do i get it to work in ubuntu?
[23:29] <Pelo> sybariten_2, , try using synaptic, you'll get a much more friendly listing
[23:29] <jimat> !libhal
[23:29] <bbc> I did the same, but it needs some KDE library I think
[23:29] <syntaxerror55> !hi | SexyJames1337
[23:29] <ubot3> Factoid libhal not found
[23:29] <ubot3> SexyJames1337: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[23:29] <tc> hi, i have a weird font bug with gnome-terminal: Mono 9 displays nice in font selector but the letters are all squeezed when terminal updates;
[23:29] <tc> http://images3.hiboox.com/images/0508/euev4y2l.png
[23:29] <sybariten_2> Pelo: headless machine
[23:29] <sybariten_2> syntaxerror55: huh?
[23:30] <syntaxerror55> tc: Wow
[23:30] <mikegriffin> i am trying to resolve a dep for libxml-2.0 >= 2.6.2; i tried installing libxml2-utils libxml2-dev libxml2 with no luck on gutsy.. any advice?
[23:30] <syntaxerror55> sybariten_2: what do you mean by the GNU for Apt. :|
[23:30] <Pelo> sybariten_2, , what does gne screen do anyway,  I'll try to find you tghe correct package name
[23:30] <SexyJames1337> my brother's Windows is corrupted... i was considering installing ubuntu so he can use that instead. but ive never used linux. :P do you think we'd be able to work it out after a bit of practice?
[23:30] <syntaxerror55> mikegriffin: what are you trying to install
[23:30] <sybariten_2> this is so odd, i was totally sure it was either 1) installed from the beginning, or 2) called 'GNU Screen' in apt
[23:30] <syntaxerror55> SexyJames1337: Yes.
[23:30] <Slart> SexyJames1337: yes..
[23:30] <nemilar> SexyJames1337: takes some getting used to, but yeah
[23:30] <SexyJames1337> cool
[23:30] <usr13_> front-end for apt is Synaptic Package Manager.
[23:30] <sybariten_2> syntaxerror55: huh... hmm i never wrote that... some misunderstanding somewhere perhaps
[23:31] <Slart> SexyJames1337: we won't be able to cure whatever made you chose that nickname though.. you're on your own there ;)
[23:31] <SexyJames1337> well ive made the cd ready, so i'll try it out tomorrow. i'll come back here if i need any help ;) is the installation fairly straight forward?
[23:31] <EricBlair> lol
[23:31] <mikegriffin> syntaxerror55: svn co of mysql workbench
[23:31] <overclucker> tc: what does mono 8 give you?
[23:31] <SexyJames1337> haha, the name is kinda a joke
[23:31] <sybariten_2> Pelo: uhm, its like a "windows manager" but for console ... you get something like...  like subshells
[23:31] <tc> syntaxerror: it looks like it's linked to font resolution too... changing its value changes the font sizes which bug
[23:31] <Pelo> tc, looks to me like the spacing is off,  try restarting the terminal  it migth get corrected or try a bigger font like 10
[23:31] <mikegriffin> syntaxerror55: it appears i have resolved all other deps
[23:31] <syntaxerror55> sybariten_2: <sybariten_2> what is GNU Screen called in apt?
[23:31] <EricBlair> is it his brother's?
[23:31] <Slart> SexyJames1337: the only thing people tend to ask questions about is the partitioning
[23:31] <SexyJames1337> oh right
[23:32] <syntaxerror55> SexyJames1337: I'd say to wipe Windows as it is corrupted
[23:32] <Pelo> sybariten_2, screenie  a small and lightweight GNU screen(1) wrapper
[23:32] <SexyJames1337> well i can't dual boot cos I'm not able to reinstall xp, so i just select use whole drive? or is it more complex than that?
[23:32] <Pelo> sybariten_2, is that it ?
[23:32] <sybariten_2> Pelo: shells that run in the background, or console instances...   you can run ICQ or IRC there for instance, then you can detach, from the shell....  and the IRC or ICQ client keeps running in that shell/screen
[23:32] <syntaxerror55> SexyJames1337: and just have Ubuntu take the whole drive.
[23:32] <Slart> SexyJames1337: I'd say use one big partition the first time... if you want you can change it later
[23:32] <SexyJames1337> ok cool
[23:32] <tc> restarting terminal doesnt fix
[23:32] <sybariten_2> Pelo: yep, thats a helper app, i found that one too... i've even used it in the past
[23:32] <tc> 8 looks bad too
[23:32] <syntaxerror55> SexyJames1337: Yeah, the Live CD will guide you through it. It's easier then an XP Install(TM)
[23:32] <sybariten_2> Pelo: (but as i said, itst just a helper app, for Screen...)
[23:33] <Pelo> sybariten_2, ratpoison , keyboard-only window manager
[23:33] <SexyJames1337> we have xp recovery discs, but have lost them. if we want to reinstall in the future should they be able to overwrite over ubuntu easily? thats if he's bothered about going back to windows...
[23:33] <sybariten_2> syntaxerror55: that question meant "what is the correct package name for Screen"
[23:33] <sybariten_2> Pelo: close, but no cigar....
[23:33] <Slart> SexyJames1337: yes.. you can easily install something else over ubuntu.. it won't leave stains
[23:33] <syntaxerror55> sybariten_2: ahhh...misunderstanding, I thought you wanted a "GNU Screen" (GUI) for using Apt
[23:33] <SexyJames1337> nice. sorry, i play games and have a reasonably good pc but im not actually an expert at much tbh
[23:34] <sybariten_2> pelo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[23:34] <sybariten_2> syntaxerror55: ahhh... ok, no. "Screen" is just a name.
[23:34] <Pelo> sybariten_2, that's all I can find in the repos that matches your request
[23:34] <BodOmLaW> do you know if my logitech usb headset will work in ubuntu?
[23:34] <SexyJames1337> ok, thanks for your help, i'll try it out tomorrow.
[23:34] <sybariten_2> Pelo: yeah, me too. This is so odd. This is a very widespread and "standard" unix tool
[23:34] <syntaxerror55> SexyJames1337: some games won't work without Wine or Cedega, and even then some may not work
[23:35] <overclucker> !screen
[23:35] <SexyJames1337> yeh im not playing games on the ubuntu pc, that's just my brothers. i have my own with Vista :P
[23:35] <ubot3> screen is a terminal multiplexer. See http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/3/9/16838/14935 and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Screen
[23:35] <Gun_Smoke> who wrote the bot line for root?
[23:35] <BodOmLaW> vista shouldnt be used for games either
[23:35] <syntaxerror55> sybariten_2: ah. I thought your english was just bad
[23:35] <Slart> syntaxerror55: I'd say some games work with wine/cedega.. and even some of those work badly =)
[23:35] <SexyJames1337> lol im guessing Vista is a dirty word around here
[23:35] <BodOmLaW> Vista=Bad
[23:35] <syntaxerror55> !vista | SexyJames1337
[23:35] <Pelo> sybariten_2, I have screen  a monjtor multiplexer fowith terminal emulation via vt100/ansi
[23:35] <ubot3> SexyJames1337: vista is the new 'operating system' by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org and !windows
[23:35] <SexyJames1337> it doesnt work that badly for me at all :D
[23:35] <SexyJames1337> its just no better than xp
[23:35] <SexyJames1337> in any way
[23:36] <BodOmLaW> lol
[23:36] <Gun_Smoke> I assume it was written for noobs right.. And not actually trying to be truthful?
[23:36] <BodOmLaW> xp is the best windows at the moment
[23:36] <BodOmLaW> stable for games
[23:36] <sybariten_2> Pelo: there it is
[23:36] <BodOmLaW> deosnt was to much resourses
[23:36] <Slart> BodOmLaW: vista is just another os.. try to keep emotions out of it
[23:36] <BodOmLaW> i keep my emotions out
[23:36] <Pelo> sybariten_2, it's installed by default,  alt-f2 to f7 to switch between terminals
[23:36] <mikegriffin> syntaxerror55: http://pastebin.ca/886847
[23:36] <sybariten_2> syntaxerror55: heh... no dude...    aint nuthin bad with that there english of mine
[23:36] <SexyJames1337> ive heard of a lot of people having vista problems... i guess ive been lucky cos I haven't really had any
[23:37] <BodOmLaW> all it is is a gimiks
[23:37] <BodOmLaW> anyways
[23:37] <BodOmLaW> do you know if my logitech usb headset will work in ubuntu?
[23:37] <achilles> hi, i just installed ubuntu 7.10 dvd once installed all i got was a base installation how do i install the rest of the software that comes with the dvd? thanks
[23:37] <neverblue> BodOmLaW, probably
[23:37] <Slart> SexyJames1337: after a week here you'll have heard lots of people having problems with ubuntu.. we do try to help them all though =)
[23:37] <BodOmLaW> kk thanks
[23:37] <Pelo> achilles, menu > applications > add remove
[23:37] <xGeek> Vista has been good to me. The service pack fixed a lot of bugs on my home system however I've seen a lot of strange problems on clients computers.
[23:37] <achilles> thanks pelo:)
[23:37] <MasterShrek> xGeek, vista sp1 is out now?
[23:38] <SexyJames1337> I haven't bothered dling the SP1 beta. think i'll wait
[23:38] <Slart> !ot
[23:38] <MasterShrek> oh beta
[23:38] <neverblue> achilles, the Ubuntu guide is great help, try googling 'ubuntu guide' it helps with package selection
[23:38] <achilles> OK:)
[23:38] <Slart> ubotu?.. sleeping on the job?
[23:38] <syntaxerror55> SexyJames1337: Vista is like any other operating system, except it has bugs and viruses, and half the RAM is to monitor if you're pirating software or music. That's why we hate it.
[23:38] <iari> Is there a way to run a windows emulator under Ubuntu? if I want to connect to a Checkpoint? or run a windows' only software ...
[23:38] <achilles> hey isnt windows always beta? XD
[23:38] <syntaxerror55> Slart: Agh
[23:38] <_b_> ubotu is a bad person
[23:38] <jlulian38> How do you view information on your alsa configuration?
[23:38] <SexyJames1337> i see what you mean syntaxerror
[23:38] <Slart> iari: there's wine.. or virtualbox.. or qemu
[23:38] <sybariten_2> Pelo: well, it wasnt installed here, dont know why... its a fresh but lightweithgt ubuntu install... and i found the package and installed it, it was just called 'screen' so i dont know what i was thinking, sorry to bother
[23:39] <Pelo> achilles, and btw that's not even close to what you can get from the repos, those aer just the universe and  main repos,   goto , menu < system< sotware sources,  check all the boxes on the firts tab and the backport box on the third tab , the reload
[23:39] <sybariten_2> pelo: it was easier when i grepped for "multiplex"
[23:39] <neverblue> iari, Wine will allow you to run Windows software in linux, try asking about it in #winehq
[23:39] <iari> Slart: Which one would you recommend   ?
[23:39] <achilles> pelo thanks since i dont have an active connection i got the dvd instead of the cd:)
[23:39] <soldats> Slart, apparently ubotu will be away for a while but ubot3 is here but probly a little slower
[23:39] <syntaxerror55> SexyJames1337: seriously, try Ubuntu, and you'll fall in love to the point where you'll put it on your computer. :D
[23:39] <Pelo> sybariten_2, no bother, your query got me to research wsometing I wasn't familiar with ,  I learned something
[23:39] <Slart> iari: depends on what you're going to use it for... what kind of software?
[23:39] <iari> neverblue: Thanks
[23:39] <SexyJames1337> haha.
[23:40] <sybariten_2> Pelo: (BTW, try it... there are small tutorials... once you learn it, and if you do some SSH work on occasion, its super duper practical)
[23:40] <Slart> soldats: oh... so we got a temp =)
[23:40] <iari> Slart: Checkpoint VPN, some Trading platforms
[23:40] <Pelo> achilles, well take note of this link then  it will get you more packages if you need them that you can dl and install from a usb drive and such,    www.getdeb.net
[23:40] <soldats> yep
[23:40] <neverblue> sybariten_2, what is ?
[23:40] <SexyJames1337> i have used knoppix a little (the one you boot off cd) I used it to transfer all my bros files onto an external hd after his windows corrupted
[23:40] <sybariten_2> neverblue: google GNU screen
[23:40] <Pelo> sybariten_2, I'm just a basic home user atm,  but i'll keep it in mind
[23:40] <Shadow6363> anyone know anything about using hardware raid in gutsy?
[23:40] <sybariten_2> Pelo: ok
[23:41] <Slart> iari: start with wine.. it's a lot easier on the hardware.. software runs faster.. virtualbox, qemu and the other emulate a full windows machine... which means it'll be a lot slower
[23:41] <achilles> pelo wow awesome i will use this alot:)
[23:41] <syntaxerror55> SexyJames1337: You can also boot Ubuntu from CD to try it. And, god, why did you choose that name?

[23:41] <syntaxerror55> Where are the .deb files stored in 6.06?
[23:41] <iari> Slart: Thanks!
[23:41] <Slart> iari: you're welcome
[23:41] <SexyJames1337> :D I don't use it anymore, my new nickname is KKSlider1337, i was a big fan of animal crossing...
[23:42] <syntaxerror55> SexyJames1337: try -1337
[23:42] <overclucker> achilles: if you have the install dvd in, some packages won't have to be downloaded from the repos, when you install them
[23:42] <necrotic> I'm having trouble with my secondary video card. Xorg recognizes it and I can "use" it, but the screen is very very dark. I've done lots of searching around and haven't found anything about it. The card is an nVidia 6100 built into my motherboard, the primary is an FX 5500 (PCI).
[23:42] <Pelo> syntaxerror55, /var/cache or further down
[23:42] <mikegriffin> syntaxerror55: /var/cache/apt/archives/ ?
[23:42] <Pelo> syntaxerror55, /var/cache/apt/archives
[23:42] <achilles> have a good day guys:)
[23:43] <SexyJames1337> ah, its the leet bit that bothers you. I've got used to using it on nicknames, as if a nickname is taken when i register somewhere i just add it onto the end...
[23:43] <syntaxerror55> Pelo: mikael79_: Thanks. I forgot
[23:43] <mikegriffin> http://pastebin.ca/886847 guesses anyone?
[23:43] <drunkmuppet> i know this isn't an ubuntu question but. I just tried to forward my ip in my dd-wrt using DMZ and now I cant get back into my router. Any ideas
[23:43] <neverblue> necrotic, its not the monitor ?
[23:43] <Pelo> mikegriffin, how about a description of the problem

[23:44] <Slart> oops.. sorry.. no emergency..
[23:44] <syntaxerror55> SexyJames1337: it's really your choice, but I'd use different numbers.
[23:44] <Pelo> mikegriffin, go in synaptic look for libxml or what ever,  and also install the related -dev package
[23:44] <Slart> but he does need a boot somewhere =)
[23:44] <mikegriffin> i did that
[23:44] <neverblue> necrotic, so the cards are which type ?
[23:45] <SexyJames1337> what would you suggest? It's just become a habit now... the 1337 isn't serious, more of a joke
[23:45] <necrotic> neverblue: Primary is an nvida FX 5500, secondary is a 6100 (onboard)
[23:45] <Pelo> mikegriffin, go into synaptic and c heck what is installed, install everyting with libxml if you have to
[23:45] <neverblue> Pelo, sorry, whats the command to config your video card again ? alsways slips my mind
[23:45] <SexyJames1337> oh and about using the cd just to try ubuntu syntax, how do i do that?
[23:45] <syntaxerror55> SexyJames1337: 00, last two numbers of your birthyday, the line number where an annoying bug was on (mine)
[23:45] <mikegriffin> Pelo: that is a really long list of packages, thanks anyway
[23:45] <Pelo> neverblue, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[23:45] <neverblue> necrotic, so both nvidia, have you tried to edit your xorg.conf manually ?
[23:45] <neverblue> Pelo thanks
[23:46] <necrotic> neverblue: yes
[23:46] <neverblue> necrotic, also try   sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[23:46] <Pelo> mikegriffin, stuff with libxml in the name , not the descrition
[23:46] <necrotic> i even tried using just the primary, no luck
[23:46] <neverblue> necrotic, using onboard as the primary?
[23:46] <mdmkolbe|work> I keep loosing sound when firefox crashes.  Is there a way to restart the sound system without rebooting the machine? (I've got apps running I'd rather not have to save/restart.) This is on ubunty 7.10.
[23:46] <syntaxerror55> SexyJames1337: There's an option when you put it in and the computer boots it.
[23:46] <necrotic> neverblue: not right now im not, but i did try that
[23:46] <SexyJames1337> ah, useful
[23:46] <Pelo> necrotic, run the reconfigure command again and  select the vesa driver,  that will at least get you back a gui
[23:46] <Shadow6363> exit
[23:46] <syntaxerror55> SexyJames1337: when you get the CD, trust me, all this will become very clear
[23:46] <mikegriffin> Pelo: $ apt-cache search libxml | awk '{print $1}' | grep libxml | wc -l = 100
[23:47] <Shadow6363> woops
[23:47] <neverblue> necrotic, maybe you xorg.conf isnt setup at the corect refresh rate, etc... maybe the reconfig will help
[23:47] <Pelo> mikegriffin, do you have a gui ?  use synaptic to search for libxml
[23:47] <SexyJames1337> ok cool. also, seeing as I am a noob to irc as well, how do you reply to a person like you are replying to me? is there an easier way than typing it out?
[23:47] <soldats> sudo /etc/init.d/alsamixer restart
[23:47] <necrotic> Pelo: I have a gui on my primary screen. Using it right now without problems.
[23:47] <xzedn> does anyone else have monitor problems with gutsy?
[23:47] <soldats> SexyJames1337, type part of the name then press tab
[23:47] <syntaxerror55> soldats: in the command line
[23:48] <mikegriffin> Pelo: how is that different than what i just posted?
[23:48] <dougemd> hello, I just switched over to Ubuntu. I'm having a problem with the eye candy in compiz...I guess its under appearances in the provided GUI. I have the latest ATI proprietary drivers installed and I have my xorg.conf set to a 1 for composite. I also have AIGLX set to "off"

[23:48] <dougemd> compiz said it couldn't find the driver still though
[23:48] <syntaxerror55> SexyJames1337: :D you figured it out
[23:48] <Pelo> mikegriffin, easier to make sense of
[23:48] <hell_> how can i start the gnome-terminal every time full screen in gnome?
[23:48] <dougemd> well appearance said that

[23:52] <iari> Slart: Do you have a min. to instruct me how to install new software under wine ?
[23:52] <dimas_> anybody know what could be wrong in wine if no software start? maybe something basic?
[23:52] <mdmkolbe|work> soldats: I have no /etc/init.d/alsamixer.  Did you mean /usr/bin/alsamixer or /etc/init.d/alsa-utils?
[23:52] <SexyJames1337> syntaxerror55: Well, goodnight and thanks for your help. I may be back tomorrow

[23:53] <Jangari> how can i mount an ssh server to a point in my file tree?
[23:53] <Pelo> iari, just run the installer with wine
[23:53] <soldats> mdmkolbe|work, hmm it might be alsa-utils
[23:53] <wyseur> anybody has an idea how to solve this : ohci1394: fw-host0: SelfID received, but NodeID invalid
[23:53] <bruenig> alsa-utils just saves and restores alsa levels

[23:53] <soldierboy> Hello all, I just installed KDE4 and when I try to logon I get the following: 'startkde: Could not start D-Bus. Check your installation.'
[23:53] <wyseur> I think its the cause of problem, I can't mount a firewire HD
[23:53] <Pelo> good evening dimas_  my blood pressure
[23:53] <bruenig> alsa itself is a kernel thing
[23:54] <jrib> Jangari: sshfs
[23:54] <Pelo> soldierboy, try asking in #kde
[23:54] <syntaxerror55> SexyJames1337: ok, bye.
[23:54] <dimas_> jejeje are you getting old pelo?
[23:54] <Pelo> dimas_, everyday
[23:54] <Pelo> soldierboy, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel
[23:54] <soldats> bruenig, well i totally forgot the command to restart alsa via cli. i remember something like that to tell mdmkolbe|work to fix his problem
[23:54] <soldierboy> pelo: i did, no responses there
[23:55] <Pelo> soldierboy, #kubuntu may also be an option but remember that not all channels are as well attended as this one, patience is required
[23:55] <Pelo> soldierboy, also try googling the error msg
[23:55] <bruenig> restarting alsa would include modprobing stuff I would have to think
[23:55] <soldierboy> Pelo: thanks, I'll try kubuntu
[23:55] <Jangari> just saw that, jrib, checkin' it out now
