[04:29] <SpeCon> Be back later i'm gone now cya this evening in this channel bye and thanks for all the support
[04:29] <allblacks_> guys the TV is free but i need that IP that all if they would charge money i would pay but nobody is broadcasting rugby in RO
[04:29] <turbo> jetscreamer: What is the login manager one?
[04:29] <vikku> Veinor: yeah , why so sarcastic abt tldp
[04:30] <jetscreamer> turbo: under system settings
[04:30] <Tonar> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=426669&highlight=Login+messages <- got the same problem
[04:30] <howlingmadhowie> SpeCon: probably. the X2s from AMD are also dual core. the chip will certainly support the i386 instruction set and may support the amd64 instruction set. just put the amd disk in the drive and see what it does. if amd64 isn't supported it will tell you soon enough :)
[04:30] <Veinor> some_ux: I think it's legal there.
[04:30] <fuoco> for some reason my firefox on linux is really heavy, whereas in windows and in mac osx it is really fast - is there some problem with my settings ?
[04:30] <jetscreamer> turbo: or hand edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[04:30] <jetscreamer> back it up first
[04:30] <Some_ux> Veinor: thanks
[04:30] <SpeCon> okay thanks
[04:30] <SpeCon> byebye
[04:30] <Veinor> vikku: I just didn't know what it was; I wasn't being sarcastic.
[04:30] <osxdude|laptop> say OS X please
[04:30] <turbo> thanks I'll try
[04:30] <osxdude|laptop> :)
[04:30] <faileas> osxdude|laptop: OS ten ;p
[04:30] <GIn> kubuntu use QT3, right?
[04:30] <howlingmadhowie> fuoco: do you have a bittorrent software running at the same time?
[04:31] <turbo> Ah and btw how can I list the latest changes I made?
[04:31] <Veinor> vikku: the reason that I imagine for it is that it can be a problem compiling everything for the different distributions, so the burden of doign that is shifted to the end-user. Plus compiling gives them more options, such as enabling/disabling certain features.
[04:31] <fuoco> howlingmadhowie: occasionally yes, but not all the time, and firefox seems heavy all the time
[04:31] <theuser_> i have a problem

[04:37] <vila> can someone tell me how to install ubuntu ultimate 1.4 online, without cd, from feisty?
[04:38] <i3luefire> what is ubuntu ultimate 1.4 online?
[04:38] <astro76> vila, ultimate is a 3rd party modification of ubuntu and hence unsupported, but you can install all that software from Ubuntu
[04:38] <torajiro> hello
[04:38] <astro76> especially since it uses automatix
[04:38] <vila> right
[04:38] <allblacks_> now the guys from itv.com are idiots they need Windows media player to watch the games
[04:38] <eddiestone> is anybody using ubuntu Gusty here?
[04:39] <vila> but saw it and liked the configuration, heh
[04:39] <i3luefire> not me
[04:39] <a2> i3luefire: yes, i did. but i didnt see 'title windows'
[04:39] <professorsnapper> Sorry, I'll be more specific. I can't seem to get desktop effects happening on my macbook, and I wonder if anyone has satisfactorily got Feisty fully running on Parallels 2.5
[04:39] <usser> allblacks_: haha now do apt-get install mozilla-mplayer
[04:39] <i3luefire> hmm
[04:39] <inflater> hey all :)

[04:40] <Martiiin> I dont got any sound, dont know whats wrong!
[04:40] <howlingmadhowie> professorsnapper: have you tried things like glxgears?
[04:40] <i3luefire> you are right
[04:40] <torajiro> id like to ask if anyone knows wether its possible for compiz-fusion plugins like ring switcher or app switcher to show contets of the windows even when that windows are minimized. thanks
[04:40] <professorsnapper> howling: what's glxgears?
[04:40] <bhargi> jrib, i read the document and installed llibapache2-mod-php5 even then i am unable to enable php5 module with command sudo a2enmod php5
[04:40] <i3luefire> maybe i copied the wrong file
[04:41] <inflater> i have a smal problem, when I want to compile SDL under Ubuntu Feisty Fawn, it just complains about that gcc cantmake executables
[04:41] <howlingmadhowie> professorsnapper: open a console and type "glxgears" :)

[04:47] <osxdude|laptop> SubSonik, it wouldn't show the resolution right away,...Hey, after you copy it change the resolution in System > Prefrences > Screen Resolution.
[04:47] <osxdude|laptop> I g2g now
[04:47] <professorsnapper> howling: thanks - the gears look OK (between 700 - 900 FPS).
[04:47] <jrib> bhargi: sudo aptitude reinstall libapache2-mod-php5    do they then exist?
[04:47] <SubSonik> osxdude, thank you for the help!

[04:52] <zyth> How do I make sound juicer stop opening automatically whenever I insert a CD?
[04:52] <jrib> zyth: system -> preferences -> removable drives and media

[04:53] <Gentoo> How can i find support in spanish ?
[04:53] <howlingmadhowie> professorsnapper: oops :( that doesn't sound good. i can't think of a reason why it would go that wrong.
[04:53] <booster> will someone please help me figure out this wifi driver problem im having ???
[04:53] <b0uncer> booster: what problem
[04:53] <MaxL> hey
[04:53] <howlingmadhowie> professorsnapper: you're using the 32-bit version on a virtual machine inside osx?
[04:53] <MaxL> Anyway I can get Ubuntu to write in NTFS?
[04:53] <bhargi> jrib, i have one php test file which started to work  now but my local joomla installation still not working
[04:54] <professorsnapper> howling: that sounds about right...
[04:54] <jrib> bhargi: don't know anything about joomla
[04:54] <Otacon22> i can't install xv beacuse the package looks obsolete for apt,  what can i do?
[04:54] <Gentoo> sudo su
[04:54] <professorsnapper> howling: I'm using Parallels 2.5 as my VM software
[04:54] <bhargi> jrib, i mean in side joomla directory i have  a index.php file which is offered for download instead of parsing
[04:54] <booster> well my wifi card wasnt installed from setup so i gotta use ndiswrapper to use the card...well i got the driver in the window now..but under the driver it says Hardware Present:No
[04:54] <jrib> !ntfs-3g > MaxL (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:55] <jrib> bhargi: try the troubleshooting steps on the wiki (clear your browser cache for one)
[04:55] <howlingmadhowie> professorsnapper: then i really don't know what it could be. i'd imagine there are some problems with /etc/X11/xorg.conf but i've never used linux on a modern apple, so i don't know what the right settings would be
[04:55] <vladuz976> my speakers are mute. No sound. I adjust the volume in gnome but it the icon stays MUTE with the little red cross and no sound what soever
[04:55] <vladuz976> can anybody help?
[04:55] <jrib> Gentoo: /join #ubuntu-es
[04:55] <b0uncer> booster: then it's the wrong driver I suppose
[04:55] <bhargi> jrib, yep thanks a lot it working
[04:55] <Pc_Dark> I installed adept, now, how do I get it to when I open the program, it runs as sudo?
[04:55] <Gentoo> Thanks
[04:56] <b0uncer> booster: when you've got a right driver for the chip, and install it, it should say hw is present..until that, your driver is probably wrong
[04:56] <bhargi> jrib, thank bye
[04:56] <jrib> bhargi: np, bye
[04:57] <professorsnapper> howling: I appreciate your thoughts/ effort anyway. I seem to remember some postings on the forums which suggested that Feisty wouldn't fully work on Parallels 2.5 - I had to use a workaround to even load it.
[04:57] <booster> well i tried the one on the cd that came with the card,....and i went to the site and dloaded one from there still no luck
[04:57] <Pc_Dark> can someone please help me?
[04:57] <b0uncer> booster: which card is it?
[04:57] <b0uncer> booster: lspci | grep Wireless
[04:58] <howlingmadhowie> professorsnapper: i understand. is there some other virtualisation software for osx you could try?
[04:58] <Kr0ntab> Pc_Dark, just ask the group
[04:58] <howlingmadhowie> professorsnapper: i imagine there's a version of qemu
[04:59] <astro76> Pc_Dark, from the command line: kdesu adept
[04:59] <astro76> Pc_Dark, the menu entry should be set up that way
[04:59] <Pc_Dark> astro76: How do I edit gnome menu entries?
[04:59] <astro76> Pc_Dark, why are you using adept in gnome? there is synaptic
[04:59] <faileas> yeah theres kju for os x, which is a pretty nice qemu varient
[04:59] <jetscreamer> Pc_Dark: it should 'just work'
[04:59] <jetscreamer> if it doesn't you need something
[05:00] <Martiiin> How do i open tar.gz formats in ubuntu?
[05:00] <Pc_Dark> astro76: I'm trying to figure out why openoffice.org publisher isn't installed, I thought I might need adept
[05:00] <Pc_Dark> Martiiin: tar -xzvf
[05:00] <professorsnapper> Howling: I hear VMware is good, but having already shelled out $80-odd, I was reluctant to cough up more... shall I type qemu in the console? ;)
[05:00] <SubSonik> how do i get the default xorg.conf off the instalation CD, or reset the xorg.conf to the original setting?
[05:00] <jetscreamer> tar x...nm
[05:00] <b0uncer> booster: also when writing to me, please write my nickname in the beginning of the line so I'll see it easier from this text load :)
[05:00] <Martiiin> Pc_Dark am new to linux so... what?
[05:00] <jetscreamer> read line 17 or so of xorg.conf SubSonik
[05:00] <howlingmadhowie> Martiiin: click on them. i think gnome will unpack them automatically. if not, right-click and extract here or extract to directory
[05:01] <jetscreamer> file-roller rocks
[05:01] <astro76> Pc_Dark, openoffice.org doesn't have a publisher, instead the writer is a very capable page layout program itself

 read /usr/share/doc/sysvinit/*; read /etc/init.d/README; man update-rc.d, or if you don't understand that, consider installing 'rcconf', 'sysv-rc-conf' or 'file-rc' instead - see http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/212 :

[05:04] <jetscreamer> sebrock: ^^
[05:04] <b0uncer> booster: ok..isn't familiar to me, but anyway. how did you install the windows driver with ndiswrapper exactly?
[05:04] <booster> drag and drop
[05:05] <b0uncer> ok
[05:05] <minopausa> hi babies
[05:05] <sinisterguy> has anyone had any success with bitpim and the samsung u740 phone on feisty?
[05:05] <howlingmadhowie> sebrock: actually, it's easier than that. usually the contents of /etc/rc2.d, /etc/rc3.d, /etc/rc4.d and /etc/rc5.d are the same. they are just symbolic links to the scripts in /etc/init.d
[05:06] <Meyvn> hey all, I am trying to install Ubuntu 7.04 on my new Fujitsu Siemens Amilo P2530, using the Alternate Install CD (since the Live CD failed to work). Ubuntu installs but fails to boot X server, it finds a display device, but no suitable drivers. Where do I go from here?
[05:06] <sebrock> I know, its already fixed :D
[05:06] <b0uncer> booster: there's a chance it's a Dlink card actually, or something close to that, and the chip on the card could be tricky
[05:06] <rob_p> sebrock: man update.rc.d
[05:06] <b0uncer> but let's see..
[05:06] <sebrock> update-rc.d was what I was looking for
[05:06] <b0uncer> which ndiswrapper version did you install, booster?
[05:06] <Some_ux> ok, so ssh works
[05:07] <Meyvn> Oh, I'm using an ATI card (Mobility X2300 128 MB)
[05:07] <b0uncer> booster: ndiswrapper -v
[05:07] <booster> b0uncerwell the name of the card is a trendnet TEW-423PI

[05:10] <b0uncer> booster: and do you have the Ubuntu package 'ndiswrapper-utils-1.8' installed?
[05:10] <b0uncer> that's needed
[05:11] <Invisionfree> Can someone help me to resize a Windows Vista partition (NTFS Format) I am using Ubuntu Live CD and it's all I have <- Sorry for the repeat, I might've slightly err...Typoed, but I fixed ot
[05:11] <SubSonik> my xvidtune is not letting me resize the screen. I keep getting a "you have requested a modeline that is not possible..." message. Any suggestions
[05:11] <tatters> I running on a fujisu seiens m7400
[05:12] <b0uncer> booster: this page ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper ) should help you out..I'd still try to use the drivers off the CD, and before following those steps on the help site, purge all ndiswrapper packages with 'apt-get remove --purge ndiswrapper-package-name-here'
[05:12] <keito> does anyone on here have openarena that can give me the ip of the master server -- found in the settings menu of the game
[05:13] <booster> b0uncer  .  ...i installed the OS then i put the disk back in after i rebooted and i installed the package i needed to run the ndiswrapper
[05:13] <Kr0ntab> SubSonik, are you trying to get a specific resolution?
[05:13] <Invisionfree> Can someone help me to resize a Windows Vista partition (NTFS Format) I am using Ubuntu Live CD and it's all I have, any suggestions?
[05:13] <Pc_Dark> how do I create more workspaces
[05:13] <Pc_Dark> only 2 are on my desktop
[05:13] <Pc_Dark> I want 4-5
[05:13] <Hydrate> Invisionfree boot into the live cd and download gparted
[05:13] <Hydrate> that should do it
[05:13] <SubSonik> Kr0ntab, no, I get the resolution I want, just the edges of the sceen are not visible
[05:13] <astro76> Pc_Dark, right-click properties on the workspace switcher
[05:13] <Meyvn> hey all, I am trying to install Ubuntu 7.04 on my new Fujitsu Siemens Amilo P2530, using the Alternate Install CD (since the Live CD failed to work). Ubuntu installs but fails to boot X server, it finds a display device, but no suitable drivers. Where do I go from here? Btw, I'm using an ATI Mobility X2300 GPU
[05:14] <Invisionfree> Hydrate: I don't think it works well with Vista partitions.
[05:14] <Some_ux> ok, so now i've setup my linux box with samba, but i cant log into it, from the vista desktop
[05:14] <Some_ux> what do i need to setup ?
[05:14] <Kr0ntab> SubSonik, oic....  and silly question im sure, but have you adjusted the monitor?
[05:14] <usser> Some_ux: smbpasswd -a
[05:14] <Hydrate>  Invisionfree a vista partition should be no different from an XP one, the only issue you shoulld have is to do with it being NTFS
[05:15] <usser> Some_ux: add a user that can connect remotely
[05:15] <Some_ux> usser: ok
[05:15] <SubSonik> Kr0ntab, it is not a monitor, it is a sony KP-57WS520 tv. PS. no such thing as dumb question. I admit I am a bit of a noob and might have overlooked something
[05:15] <usser> Some_ux: sudo smbpasswd -a
[05:15] <Hydrate>  Invisionfree i installed ubuntu dual booting from vista, doing exactly what im saying, but i ended up removing vista because it pailed in comparrison
[05:15] <tatters> if I synched my entire /me/home inc .hidden from my desktop to my laptop, is there anything I might need to filter out to prevent problems?
[05:15] <Invisionfree> I like Vista, but registration is bugged..
[05:16] <realnewguy> hey guys, ive been using ubuntu for about a week now, but ive noticed that everytime i need to do some tasks that require admin authority i use the 'sudo' in the CLI, but how do i define the root user name and password?
[05:16] <Hydrate>  Invisionfree i just fouund it was slower, especially for gaming, i tripple my vista framerate in ubuntu. not to mention if you download compiz fusion, looks wise ubuntu owns
[05:16] <usser> realnewguy: u dont really want to do that on a desktop pc
[05:16] <jdubb> Does AMD62 X2 work on ubuntu, or any linux distro for that matter?
[05:16] <usser> realnewguy: in a server it makes sense
[05:16] <realnewguy> oh ok then, ty
[05:16] <Some_ux> realnewguy: sudo passwd
[05:16] <usser> jdubb: it should work
[05:16] <Kr0ntab> SubSonik, ahh... understood.  I woulld just be guessing as I really haven't run into that issue.
[05:16] <Some_ux> I think
[05:17] <Kr0ntab> SubSonik, well with a smaller device anyway.
[05:17] <Some_ux> not sure, been using ubuntu for 2 days :P
[05:17] <Pichu0102> Does anybody know of a Linux command line AIM client that can send a message on a timed basis?
[05:17] <jdubb> I just bought a new ASUS MN2-SLI DELUXE  motherboard with AMD64 X2 and it keeps locking up on every install  :(
[05:17] <SubSonik> Kr0ntab, hey, I have been at this for three days now. any help would be appretiated.
[05:17] <rob_p> realnewguy: It's considered better practice to continue to use sudo and leave the root login disabled.
[05:17] <b0uncer> booster: did you notice my privmessage?
[05:18] <realnewguy> ive done "chmod 0700 home/joe" i got told its necessary, what does this permission 0700 do?
[05:18] <usser> jdubb: if u have a ubuntu dvd u can try command line installation mode
[05:18] <usser> jdubb: when does it lock?
[05:18] <Invisionfree> Hydrate: Like I said, it won't resize it...I did sudo gparted and it won't resize :(
[05:18] <rob_p> realnewguy: Who told you to do that?
[05:19] <realnewguy> i read it somewhere actually sorry, i wasnt told directly,
[05:19] <nephish> if i do not have nfs open to the internet (closed off by firestarter) would it be safe to have an nfs share chmod 777 for my home LAN ?
[05:19] <Invisionfree> Is it possible to resize your only partition from the Ubuntu live CD?
[05:19] <rob_p> realnewguy: Well, it's debatable.  Basically it makes your home dir only accessible by your user.
[05:19] <Some_ux> smbpasswd -a does not work
[05:19] <jdubb> after loadig drivers.  its weird...ive been trying to install openfiler and at one point it did make it in the install, but i stopped it to look at something and ive never been able to install it or anything else
[05:20] <realnewguy> ah ok, well i guess it didnt hurt then
[05:20] <salah> any idea to my problem?
[05:20] <b0uncer> booster: sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.8 ndisgtk && sudo ndisgtk
[05:20] <jdubb> ive tried text install from a CD and still the same thing...i cant even do a MEDIA CHECK
[05:20] <vladuz976> my speakers are mute. No sound. I adjust the volume in gnome but it the icon stays MUTE with the little red cross and no sound what soever
[05:20] <usser> Some_ux: sorry sudo smbpasswd -a yourusername
[05:21] <Invisionfree> vladuz976: Have you tried right clicking it and unchecking "Mute" ?
[05:21] <zero> hey guys, i got some source code how the hell do i install it?
[05:21] <vladuz976> Invisionfree, no
[05:21] <MrObvious> zero: Careful on the language. And what kind of code is it?
[05:21] <Invisionfree> Try it then vladuz976 :O
[05:21] <jdubb> usser: any ideas?
[05:21] <tatters> where does koffice applications store user data
[05:22] <vladuz976> Invisionfree, thanks. you know also when I plug in headphones, i hear sound on both speakers
[05:22] <tatters> korganizer etc
[05:22] <MrObvious> tatters: Just a guess but it might be ~/.koffice or ~/.kde
[05:22] <GillesM> hello since an upgrad with gusty or perahps other thing I have the boot message : kernel panic not init found any idea ?
[05:22] <zero> well i got it in tar lets say
[05:22] <shwouchk> I installed php and I am told it does not support sqlite... what should I do to enable it?
[05:22] <astro76> !compile | zero
[05:22] <ubotu> zero: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[05:22] <Invisionfree> That I'm not real sure of vladuz976, is it plugged in fully?
[05:22] <Invisionfree> Is it possible to resize your only partition from the Ubuntu live CD?
[05:22] <vladuz976> Invisionfree, yes, this has been a problem for a while
[05:22] <MrObvious> zero: Just make sure there isn't a deb first that you can get through Ubuntu.
[05:23] <vladuz976> Invisionfree, always on the speakers and the headphone
[05:23] <zero> lol wel... i mean its moblock
[05:23] <vladuz976> really annoying when you wanna use skype to make a call
[05:23] <zero> so i dunno excactly what it is
[05:23] <tatters> nope nothing there with thoise names or anything resembling
[05:23] <MrObvious> vladuz976: I wonder why. :\
[05:23] <zero> but for some reason wen i try compiling it in terminal
[05:23] <zero> i cand cd to dekstop
[05:23] <GillesM> /hoin #ubuntu-fr
[05:23] <Pc_Dark> is there anything like ctrl+alt+del in ubuntu to kill a program
[05:23] <zero> from home
[05:23] <Pc_Dark> without command line?
[05:23] <vladuz976> MrObvious, because everybody can hear the full conversation
[05:24] <shwouchk> I installed php and I am told it does not support sqlite... what should I do to enable it?
[05:24] <MrObvious> vladuz976: I was being sarcastic. :p
[05:24] <Xyhthyx> Pc_Dark: Command line is still the best way to kill programs, but there's the system monitor.
[05:24] <Some_ux> ok, so now vista sees the user but it cant find any folders on the linux machine
[05:24] <MrObvious> shwouchk: Wouldn't mysql be better?
[05:24] <MrObvious> !lamp
[05:24] <ubotu> LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[05:24] <astro76> Pc_Dark, system > administration > system monitor
[05:24] <GillesM> since an upgrad with gusty or perahps other thing I have the boot message : kernel panic not init found any idea ?
[05:24] <Pc_Dark> Thanks
[05:24] <vladuz976> MrObvious, sorry, i am little frustrated
[05:24] <MrObvious> vladuz976: It's okay.
[05:24] <Invisionfree> Pc_Dark?!
[05:25] <Xyhthyx> Pc_Dark: You can make a ctr+alt+del shortcut for system monitor but it won't launch if you lock up, a terminal will.
[05:25] <astro76> Pc_Dark, you can also run xkill (from command line or alt+f2) then click on the window of a program to kill
[05:25] <BBking> Somebody any idea why I can't change my resolution to 1440 x 990 ?
[05:25] <BBking> My driver is installed
[05:25] <Invisionfree> Is it possible to resize your only partition from the Ubuntu live CD?
[05:25] <shwouchk> MrObvious: I have mysql, but Im the only one who will use the server, and it is simpler to configure and more secure...
[05:25] <vladuz976> MrObvious, ubuntu is just not ready for laptops I think. just too many things to deal with to get it working
[05:25] <MrObvious> shwouchk: MySQL is pretty easy to set up.  I cant open digg, I cant connect to Y!M, etc... what could the reason be?
[05:26] <vladuz976> Invisionfree, and everything working ok?
[05:26] <MrObvious> vladuz976: Eh IDK. I diagree somewhat. I think Linux with everything can be a problem.
[05:26] <GillesM> thanks astro
 Somebody any idea why I can't change my resolution to 1440 x 990 ?
 My driver is installed
[05:26] <Textbook> Aminux: you running an AIGLX driver or XGL?
[05:26] <MrObvious> vladuz976: Hardware support is really improving though.
[05:26] <tparcina> how to check, from CLI, is some service running?
[05:26] <Aminux> Textbook: running AIGLX driver
[05:27] <MrObvious> BBking: Does it not give an option when you change the resolution?
[05:27] <vladuz976> MrObvious, i think it's a great OS for servers and programmers maybe, but for the average joe it takes too much time to configure
[05:27] <BBking> No it does not
[05:27] <BBking> It's not in the list Mr0bvious
[05:27] <Invisionfree> Is it possible to resize your only partition from the Ubuntu live CD?
[05:27] <MrObvious> vladuz976: The thing is, it's a different mentality from Windows. You need to remember it's gonna be different by nature but it teaches you more about your computer.
[05:27] <binarydigit> Invisionfree: what kind of partition
[05:27] <bulmer> tparcina: ps -aux
[05:27] <MrObvious> BBking: Okay you'll need to edit xorg.conf. Do you know how?
[05:27] <Invisionfree> binarydigit: NTFS
[05:27] <Textbook> BBking: run sudo dpkg -reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[05:28] <BBking> No actualy
[05:28] <vladuz976> MrObvious, I want to do print, I cannot use any of my designs, because Linux apps don't have color management. I just don't understand why people put time into writing software that is not usable in reality
[05:28] <kidbuntu> !nexius
[05:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about nexius - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[05:28] <binarydigit> Invisionfree: you can use gparted but im not sure if it comes on the livecd, you could apt-get install it from the livecd though
[05:28] <Aminux> Textbook: so,what could be causing this ?
[05:28] <Textbook> BBking: pick your driver, then it will give you a list of resolutions, use the space bar to select the ones you want
[05:28] <MrObvious> vladuz976: Try gimp? :\
[05:28] <Invisionfree> binarydigit: I did, and it is not resizing it..
[05:28] <Textbook> Aminux: #ubuntu-effects
[05:28] <Some_ux> ok, so how do i share a linux folder to the vista desktop
[05:28] <binarydigit> Invisionfree: ....
[05:28] <MrObvious> BBking: Okay type in a terminal gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:28] <shwouchk> MrObvious: sqlite is simpler
[05:29] <vladuz976> MrObvious, I understand, I used to enjoy that as a student, i was running archlinux, now i am working and and with ubuntu on my laptop i just cannot keep up with others
[05:29] <Invisionfree> binarydigit: What?
[05:29] <MrObvious> shwouchk: Whatever. I'm not sure honestly. Google might be the best bet.
[05:29] <BBking> done Mr0bvious
[05:29] <binarydigit> Invisionfree: gonna fill me in on the .... or just ending it like that?
[05:29] <vladuz976> MrObvious, i am talking about gimp. it has no color management, and it won'T have it anytime soon
[05:29] <vladuz976> MrObvious, not even the new release does
[05:29] <binarydigit> any error msgs?
[05:29] <shwouchk> MrObvious: for future reference, you need php-sqlite
[05:29] <tparcina> bulmer: yes, but I would like to check status of services. I need command that is similar to "service status ftpd" on RHEL
[05:29] <Invisionfree> binarydigit: You don't need it filled in, I told you, it just won't resize it :D
[05:29] <MrObvious> BBking: 1 min
[05:30] <binarydigit> Invisionfree: can then i cant help you ;)
[05:30] <BBking> :->
[05:30] <binarydigit> er, ok*
[05:30] <bulmer> tparcina: man update-rc.d
[05:31] <i3luefire> i bought a used computer from the boeing surplus store in seattle for $5 and it was a p3 800MHZ with an it has 512MB of PC100 RAM in the form of 4 sticks of 128MB on a decent ASUS mobo that includes lots of options in the bios it has 4 or 5 pci slots one agp slot that i think is 4x and 1 isa slot. i have a 15GB IBM hard drive 2 pci 10/100 nic cards, a pci soundblaster sound card. and a pci...
[05:31] <i3luefire> ...nvidia g-force mx4000. the power supply is a 230watt antec i think.    i also have a zip100 drive and a 4x dvd drive. i am running fiesty on it but it locks up after about 8 minutes of use or after you open firefox or any type of app that uses the net. what is the most likely problem? processor, power supply, nic, or mobo?
[05:32] <martiiin> I recently installed cedega, and what do i need to run most of the games at high graphics without lagg, is there any OPENGL thing i need or something!
[05:32] <sirjoebob> hello all... i am looking for a relatively cheap, USB tv tuner that will work with ubuntu on my laptop
[05:33] <sirjoebob> anyone know of any?
[05:33] <zero> guys, how do i enable my back and forward buttons on the side of my mouse in ubuntu?
[05:33] <winbond> i3luefire, couls be bad ram, run the memory test from the ubuntu cd
[05:33] <MrObvious> i3luefire: PSU maybe. Or RAM.
[05:33] <Kr0ntab> vladuz976, have you looked at the package gimp-ufraw ?
[05:33] <Kr0ntab> basic color management via little cms
[05:33] <MrObvious> BBking: Okay now scroll down to the part that says.....
[05:34] <zero> can anyone tell me how to get my extra mouse buttons to work?
[05:34] <MrObvious> Section "Screen"
[05:34] <astro76> !mouse | zero
[05:34] <ubotu> zero: Enabling extra mouse buttons: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ManyButtonsMouseHowto  - Enabling serial mouse: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SerialMouseHowto
[05:34] <i3luefire> i ran the memtest it passed
[05:34] <vladuz976> Kr0ntab, no
[05:34] <MrObvious> BBking: Go to Section Screen then under that it says Subsection  "Display", do you see that?
[05:34] <zero> thnx alot ubotu
[05:34] <BBking> yes
[05:34] <MrObvious> zero: That's a bot. Say thanks astro76  :P
[05:34] <tatters> been trying to sync my laptop and desktop using unison and ssh, does anyone know if I will have problems if I sync my entire /home folder including hidden
[05:34] <mauri> how to converter mp3 to wav
[05:35] <BBking> Multiple sections
[05:35] <winbond> i3luefire, when it crashed what error do u get?
[05:35] <i3luefire> i will try putting a new power supply in
[05:35] <i3luefire> it just froze up
[05:35] <mauri> do someone know how to converter mp3 to wav
[05:35] <i3luefire> could not do anything
[05:35] <MrObvious> BBking: Okay you see it sorts it by depths. Do you see like 800x600, 1024x768, etc.?
[05:35] <alesan> hallo, is it possible to install a i386 package on ubuntu64? (skype)
[05:35] <alesan> if not, *why* not?
[05:35] <MrObvious> i3luefire: Okay yeah try that. Then if it doesn't work run memtest from the Ubuntu CD.
[05:36] <BBking> Yes Mr0bvious
[05:36] <admin21ten> hello all!
[05:36] <MrObvious> BBking: Let me guess, there is no 1400 whatever resolution you want, right?
[05:36] <BBking> Exactly :)
[05:36] <MrObvious> BBking: I think you said 1450x1000?
[05:36] <rob_p> i3luefire: Is the processor overheating?  Check the processor fan, ensure good case airflow, etc.
[05:36] <BBking> 1440 x 990
[05:37] <i3luefire> i did run the memtest from the ubuntu DVD on the second or third time i did a clean install
[05:37] <winbond> i3luefire, and u should use xubuntu, cause u dont have much ram
[05:37] <lgc> !paste
[05:37] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:37] <MrObvious> BBking: Eh 10 by 10 off. Okay at the end after the 1280x1024 on each depth push Tab and type in "1440x990" on the depth lines. I would probably only do it for 16 and 24 bit depths.
[05:37] <i3luefire> i dont think the proc is over heating
[05:37] <astro76> i3luefire, 512 MB is plenty of ram for Ubuntu
[05:38] <i3luefire> i even tried underclocking it to 533MHZ
[05:38] <MrObvious> i3luefire: I'm still saying PSU.
[05:38] <rob_p> i3luefire: Power supplies are cheap so it couldn't hurt.
[05:38] <astro76> i3luefire, 230 Watts is pitifully small for adding high end graphics cards and such
[05:38] <winbond> astro76, in ur opinion, i think anything less than 1gig is not enought
[05:38] <BBking> There is no 1280 x 1024 too :/
[05:38] <MrObvious> winbond: He doesn't need XUbuntu as Gnome or KDE can run fine on 512MB of RAM. I run Gnome on 512.
[05:38] <MrObvious> BBking: Okay well you get the idea I think.
[05:39] <BBking> Yeah :)
[05:39] <BBking> Trying it
[05:39] <BBking> now
[05:39] <MrObvious> BBking: THen when you're done just push File->Save. Then hit Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to restart X.
[05:39] <BBking> Okay
[05:39] <i3luefire> thanks for all the help. all of you.
[05:39] <winbond> MrObvious, i know it will run, but xubuntu will run faster
[05:39] <MrObvious> i3luefire: YW.
[05:39] <MrObvious> winbond: True.
[05:39] <Darius> hello
[05:39] <astro76> winbond, I agree but it still works well, and most new users in here do not want xfce
[05:39] <MrObvious> winbond: But it's his system.
[05:39] <sirjoebob> if ubuntu doesnt do well on 512, use xubuntu. i have a pc with a p3 and 256 meg of ram running xubuntu with a tv tuner
[05:39] <MrObvious> Darius: Yo!
[05:40] <MrObvious> sirjoebob: Lol that's funny.
[05:40] <MrObvious> BBking: Let me know if it works.
[05:40] <sirjoebob> it runs great
[05:40] <Xyhthyx> I've been using Ubuntu on 512 for a year now, been running wonderfully even with all the stuff I've put in it.
[05:40] <BBking> Ofcourse
[05:40] <sirjoebob> zero lag. running linksys wireless
[05:40] <MrObvious> sirjoebob: Of course! It's linux. :)
[05:40] <Darius> this has probably been asked 1000 times, but how do I go about changing my refresh rate in ubuntu?
[05:40] <admin21ten> anyone in here running ubuntu-server?
[05:40] <MrObvious> BBking: Okay I await the answer. :)
[05:40] <MrObvious> !ask | admin21ten
[05:40] <ubotu> admin21ten: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:41] <MrObvious> Darius: Let me look a secodn.
[05:41] <sirjoebob> lol. i used to run ubuntu on my lappy with 512M of ram and an intel celeron M.... so, it should run fine
[05:41] <Darius> okey...
[05:41] <sirjoebob> i have since upgraded to 1.5 GB of ram so i can run virtualbox w/o lag
[05:42] <MrObvious> Darius: Hmm It's in xorg.conf under Section "Device" for your GPU.
[05:42] <BBking> Hmm
[05:42] <Darius> okey...

[05:42] <MrObvious> Darius: I'm sure there is a way to do it through Gnome.
[05:42] <BAdz> anyone familiar with libvisual?
[05:43] <revilodraw> can i use an apple airport with ubuntu?
[05:43] <sirjoebob> so , does anyone know of a cheap usb tv tuner that will run OOB with ubuntu? RCA connections preferred....
[05:43] <MrObvious> !ask | BAdz
[05:43] <ubotu> BAdz: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:43] <Darius> yes, but the trouble is that...
[05:43] <Darius> in nvidia setting I kan only get 85hz....
[05:43] <BAdz> ok... i dont know how to get any visualizations for amarok
[05:43] <illusion> :O
[05:43] <BAdz> i have libvisual installed... but idk where to get any visuals
[05:44] <davidfwatson> I just booted my ubuntu install into recovery mode because I am now using a lower resolution screen than I used to and I can't see what's going on when it boots normally. How do I lower the default resolution?
[05:44] <revilodraw> is it possible to use an apple airport with ubuntu?
[05:44] <MrObvious> Darius: Try reading this thread: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=469981&highlight=change+refresh+rate
[05:44] <nbkr> davidfwatson, System -> Settings -> Resolution
[05:45] <MrObvious> revilodraw: What chipset does it use? I got a feeling it's BCM 43xx.
[05:45] <davidfwatson> I'm in recovery mode, which is a command line prompt
[05:45] <Kr0ntab> BAdz, libvisual-0.4-plugins
[05:45] <BBking> Mr0bvious: Not working yet. But I bet it's my bad, installed Ubuntu earlier today.
[05:45] <nbkr> revilodraw, Airport is the Apple Accesspoint, correct? It's not a wlan card? Than it should be no problem if apple doesn't use a propriatry protocol.
[05:45] <BBking> How did I open that config file?
[05:45] <MrObvious> BBking: Did you File/Save?
[05:46] <MrObvious> BBking: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:46] <BAdz> Kr0ntab: ive installed libvisual-0.4-plugins
[05:46] <BBking> Yes, I did
[05:46] <BAdz> but do i have to create my own visuals?
[05:46] <i3luefire> i also picked up another computer from the surpluss store with a very similar config including a good asus mobo and 230psu but it is a dual slot1 P3 500MHZ with 768MB ram in the form of 2x 256MB sticks plus 2x 128MB sticks and it runs fine but i  cant get Amarok to work on it under kde. it just keeps loading and loading and loading and loading and loading....
[05:46] <radioaktivstorm> hello, question... why does my filter in evolution not work on incoming messages unless i select the ones i want to apply it on and explicitly click "Apply Filters" I would really love to be able to use filters.
[05:46] <BBking> It's like Modes		"1024x768"	"800x600"	"640x480"	"1440x990"

[05:46] <revilodraw> nbkr: ok.. if i buy one, how do i tell ubuntu to talk to the airport and vice versa
[05:46] <MrObvious> Whoa!
[05:46] <MrObvious> BBking: Learn to use a pastebin.
[05:47] <MrObvious> !pastebin
[05:47] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:47] <Kr0ntab> BAdz, Ohhh.... i see....
[05:47] <BBking> True, sorry
[05:47] <MrObvious> BBking: It's okay. It's quiet this morning fourtinately.
[05:47] <nbkr> revilodraw, You have to setup your wireless card. This can be done via the network manager or by edititing some configuration files.
[05:47] <MrObvious> BBking: Try putting the 1440x990 before 1024x768
[05:48] <BBking> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36794/
[05:48] <revilodraw> nbkr: im using wireless internet now.. if i were to buy an apple airport, would ubuntu recognise it? how? sorry for asking lotgs of questions
[05:48] <i3luefire> that one came with a 40GB HD though
[05:48] <Kr0ntab> BAdz, libvisual has a wiki... but its documentation is quite sparse...
[05:49] <i3luefire> and i got it for $5 too
[05:49] <faileas> revilodraw: it should, but there's better routers for the money IMO
[05:49] <Invisionfree> Guys, if I wish to resize a VISTA partition, and I only have an Ubuntu Live CD, how would I do it? GParted is not doing it for me :(
[05:49] <zero> wat is the default password for my root account
[05:49] <BAdz> :/ arite ill check it out. thanks Kr0ntab
[05:49] <nbkr> revilodraw, Airport is a wireless access point, just like the one you're using now.
[05:49] <Kr0ntab> BAdz, but they do have a channel here, #libvisual
[05:49] <MrObvious> revilodraw: Is this a wireless NIC?
[05:49] <BBking> Mr0bvious, restart again?
[05:49] <dug> !root | zero
[05:49] <ubotu> zero: 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
[05:49] <faileas> invasionfree: partion manager in vista
[05:49] <MrObvious> revilodraw: IMO I'd get a Linksys WRT54G or if you can afford it a WRT54GL and mod it to DD-WRT so it works great.
[05:50] <revilodraw> MrObvious: whats an NIC? yeh, but my router cant connect to speakers or printers
[05:50] <erlinux> hi
[05:50] <nbkr> revilodraw, Everything you did with your current access point has to be done with the new one. Sorry, but I can't tell you more. I never used an apple airport.
[05:50] <MrObvious> BBking: Use Ctrl+Alt+Backspace.
[05:50] <nbkr> revilodraw, NIC = A network card.
[05:50] <MrObvious> BBking: Yeah try it.
[05:51] <MrObvious> revilodraw: Why would an AP need to connect to a speaker or printer? That's what a computer does, not an AP.
[05:51] <MrObvious> revilodraw: Unless you have networked devices that you can use which is really high end probably.
[05:51] <davidfwatson> is there a a way to change the default resolution from grub for just one boot?
[05:51] <BBking> Can't choose it yet :|
[05:51] <Jack_Sparrow> How do I find what channels a user is in at the moment if he is not in this one
[05:52] <revilodraw> MrObvious and nbkr: ok well thank you i dont think ill get one... im exceedingly tired and a lot of what u r saying that i would usually understand is going over my head.thanks for your help and goodnight.
[05:52] <faileas> Jack_Sparrow: try whois ;p
[05:52] <Jack_Sparrow> got it thanks

[05:54] <Clavi> Question: Compared to "the two other" big os'es, Ubuntu (gnome/xfce/and KDE i've tried) has "slower" window buildup. Moving windows over other windows (dependable on programs) show clearly the window beeing drawn.
[05:54] <neramos> hows everyone ?
[05:54] <MrObvious> !hi | neramos
[05:54] <ubotu> neramos: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[05:55] <tparcina> what ftpd is sugested to be used with Ubuntu?
[05:55] <Clavi> I've seen this in every version LInux I used. Is there a way to get rid of this?
[05:55] <MrObvious> !ftp | tparcina
[05:55] <ubotu> tparcina: FTP clients: !Nautilus, !gFTP (for !GNOME) - !Konqueror, !Kasablanca, !KFTPGrabber (for !KDE) - See also !FTPd
[05:55] <MrObvious> !ftpd | tparcina

[05:55] <dug> tparcina: you might want to use an ssh server instead of an ftp server
[05:55] <MrObvious> tparcina: Take your pick. lol
[05:55] <neramos> tparcina: easy use would be kasablanca
[05:55] <overclucker> Clavi, better graphics card support
[05:56] <MrObvious> Clavi: What kind of GPU do you have?
[05:56] <tparcina> dug: why?
[05:56] <realnewguy> hey guys is there someway to setup ubuntu so that i can log into my home pc from my uni? (taking into account that the pcs at uni run windowsxp though ;S)
[05:56] <neramos> realnewguy: yes ssh
[05:57] <dug> tparcina: ssh is more secure, transmissions are encrypted.  but if you just want a public ftp server, read only, that could work fine too
[05:57] <tparcina> MrObvious: yes, I was hoping there is one that's recommended by distribution
[05:57] <qaldune> realnewguy install ssh server and use putty at your uni pc
[05:57] <neramos> realnewguy: ssh on a usb stick and run if from there and ssh into your home pc
[05:57] <MrObvious> realnewguy: VNC.
[05:57] <Clavi> Nvidia 128 megs. Mind you, I compare it with XP under dual boot.
[05:57] <Invisionfree> Can someone help me resize a VISTA NTFS partition? GParted will not do it.
[05:57] <erlinux> how do i get flash on opera?
[05:57] <neramos> Invisionfree: you need to install ntfs drivers
[05:57] <Distro^Junkie> Invisionfree: use the vista partitioner
[05:57] <Moufou> how i install ubuntu  with windows vista any ideas
[05:58] <faileas> invasionfree: do it from vista
[05:58] <realnewguy> cool, can i find vnc/ssh server in synaptic? (im a gui noob)
[05:58] <jetscreamer> Invisionfree: vista has a resizer
[05:58] <MrObvious> Clavi: What is the output of the following terminal command? cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep nv
[05:58] <Jack_Sparrow> Clavi: what video drivers are you using and what model nvidia
[05:58] <jetscreamer> yes realnewguy
[05:58] <Some_ux> ok, so i see a printer in the Linux server but i cant see any folders ?
[05:58] <rob_p> tparcina: FTP is insecure.  SSH offers adequate file transfer support via scp and sftp.  It's worth looking into...
[05:58] <faileas> Moufou: repartition from vista, install ubuntu in the new partition
[05:58] <tparcina> dug: I was thinking maybe some sort of secure ftp
[05:58] <MrObvious> erlinux: IDK how but I got it to work. :\
[05:58] <Some_ux> from samba
[05:58] <erlinux> k
[05:58] <Moufou> any tutorial how i do that
[05:59] <MrObvious> erlinux: I'll have to find it for you.
[05:59] <tparcina> rob_p: can you recommend one sftp?
[05:59] <rob_p> tparcina: I use cmdline sftp.
[05:59] <MrObvious> erlinux: http://www.opera.com/linux/docs/plugins/install/
[05:59] <Distro^Junkie> wife likes ubuntu and I like gentoo so the compromise was to use virtualbox and install gentoo lol
[05:59] <rob_p> tparcina: ...but I'm sure there are graphical ones out there.
[05:59] <Clavi> MrObvious:  Driver "nvidia"
[05:59] <nonix4> Hmm, to use intelfb... do I need anything besides video=intelfb in menu.lst?
[06:00] <MrObvious> Clavi: Okay so you have the NVidia driver installed. Good.
[06:00] <erlinux> k
[06:00] <MrObvious> Clavi: Are Desktop Effects enabled?
[06:00] <rob_p> tparcina: From a windows box, you can use winscp.
[06:00] <Clavi> Jack_Sparrow: driver used is normal nvidia, dont know the exact model card, but its' fairly new
[06:00] <Moufou> any tutorial how i do that
[06:00] <tparcina> rob_p: I don't need graphical, I'll try that one. what's package name - sftp?
[06:00] <Jabu> hi
[06:00] <MrObvious> Jack_Sparrow: I just checked and he has the NVidia driver installed fine.
[06:00] <rob_p> tparcina: man sftp
[06:01] <rob_p> tparcina: You should already have it.
[06:01] <tparcina> rob_p: what's winscp?
[06:01] <Jack_Sparrow> MrObvious: did you look at xorg at all
[06:01] <MrObvious> Moufou: Try google.
[06:01] <MrObvious> Jack_Sparrow: Yup.
[06:01] <Jack_Sparrow> k
[06:01] <tparcina> rob_p: ok, I'll try sftp. thank you
[06:02] <Clavi> MrObvious: yes, I tried without too, that helps a lot. Not redrawing window while resizing/moving also helps a lot. But it's still not as responsive as I hoped.
[06:02] <MrObvious> Jack_Sparrow: I had him output cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep nv and the output was Driver "nvidia" or somethign like that.
[06:02] <rob_p> tparcina: WinSCP is a windows client that supports scp, sftp, etc. in case you need to transfer files using a windows box.
[06:02] <dug> tparcina: yeah you can do secure file transfers (sftp) with ssh, see for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SSH_file_transfer_protocol
[06:02] <Some_ux> ok, me be stupid. I forgot to uncomment stuff from the smb.conf
[06:02] <Some_ux> works now
[06:02] <MrObvious> Clavi: Hmm odd.
[06:02] <Moufou> so i have to install one more tieme the vista and do the partition in order to instal ubunto?
[06:02] <Jack_Sparrow> MrObvious: I would still like to see the xorg pasted to the pastebin... but ok
[06:02] <MrObvious> Clavi: How much system RAM do you have installed?
[06:03] <rob_p> tparcina: It's what my clients use to access their content on my server.
[06:03] <MrObvious> Jack_Sparrow: You can have him do that but you'll find what I did checked xorg.conf for which driver he had.
[06:03] <rob_p> tparcina: Anyway, good luck.
[06:03] <Clavi> MrObvious: Enlightenment really speeded things up, but I'm missing the environment when I don't have it ;)
[06:03] <Jack_Sparrow> Clavi: How did you install that driver?
[06:03] <cappiz> where can i get the source for compiz-fusion? is it the same as 	 compiz-0.5.2.tar.gz ?
[06:03] <tparcina> rob_p: dug: thank you both. If I stuck somwhere I'll contact channel.

[06:03] <bullgard4> How can I run the SysRq function on a x86 laptop computer using kernel 2.6.20-16generic? Pressing the SysRq key doesn't do it.

[06:05] <Invisionfree> Can someone help me resize a VISTA NTFS partition? GParted will not do it.
[06:05] <MrObvious> Clavi: I wonder if you can try optimizing Gnome or something as you're using a lot of memory apparently just booting the computer. That's why it's slower. Try getitng at least 512 if you can.

[06:10] <i3luefire> also i tried about 6 different installs of ubuntu on my second hard drive and would like to remove them all and do a new clean install with the version and options and packages that i have finally settled on as the ones that i like.
[06:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Clavi: Too much.. a bit overkill, on the overall but you are swapping quite a bit to disk...
[06:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Sept 07 got first lines from shrimpani on #Voyager
[06:11] <Jack_Sparrow> It saves the first 4 files to the desktop
[06:11] <Jack_Sparrow> It needs to give them a file extension with a date as in xorg.conf.09072007.10.31.am or similar
[06:11] <Jack_Sparrow> He is also working on saving a text copy of fdisk -l and an image of the boot sector to the same desktop folder
 Moufou: you can do it from vista, no need to reinstall
[06:11] <Jabu> MrObvious: Actually it is quiete easy... The stuff I am concerned with is that I don't know what it is doing "behind that window"
 but how i do that thats my question
[06:11] <MrObvious> Pc_Dark: I can't say from here.
[06:11] <dug> tech13: what version of wine do you want that has the fix?  You can get a more recent deb by adding a new source to apt-get: http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
[06:11] <MrObvious> Holy flood!
[06:11] <Jack_Sparrow> very sorry folks
[06:11] <Clavi> MrObvious: I'm running xfce, Konsole, maybe a Firefox and settings. That's it ;)
[06:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Please understand that was not intentional
[06:11] <MrObvious> i3luefire: Just edit the grub.conf and put make default under the Winblows entry.
[06:11] <faileas> Moufou: IIRC diskpart. never done it myself, but its part of the disk management plugin
[06:12] <MrObvious> Clavi: Wow you are swapping a lot thoug.
[06:12] <tech13> dug:  according to the guys in #winehq, it was fixed after 0.9.44, which is the last .deb.
[06:12] <Gh0Sty2K> it says Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault.
[06:12] <i3luefire> the other people that use my main computer dont like ubuntu
[06:12] <Gh0Sty2K> what does that mean?
[06:12] <Clavi> overclucker: what does it do?
[06:12] <Moufou> i pass  thanks 4 help any way
[06:12] <i3luefire> i thought i had to set the default number
[06:12] <i3luefire> in the menu.lst file
[06:13] <overclucker> Clavi, if you do sysctl -w vm.swappiness=100 then it will make you unload to swap more often, it's good if you have less ram
[06:13] <faileas> !compiz-fusion
[06:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about compiz-fusion - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[06:13] <faileas> !compiz

[06:13] <reallyjoel> What do I do with the .run driver file I just downloaded from ATI? ./ doesn't work.
[06:13] <Gh0Sty2K> What does Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg received a segmentation fault. mean?
[06:13] <Gh0Sty2K> It happens when i use apt-get install samba
[06:13] <Clavi> overclucker: cool... do I need to put that in a script at startup too?
[06:14] <Pc_Dark> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion easy enough
[06:14] <Pc_Dark> ;)
[06:14] <overclucker> Clavi, sysctl -w vm.swappiness=100 goes from 0 to 100, 60 is ubuntu default
[06:14] <dug> tech13: i bet they'll update that deb soon, but if you want to compile yourself, you might try adding linux headers: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r`
[06:14] <lesshaste> are there any apps for detecting which wireless networks are available?
[06:14] <bruenig> lesshaste, iwlist
[06:14] <overclucker> to change permanantly, do: vim /etc/sysctl.conf (change vim to your default editor) and add this new line to the end: vm.swappiness=100
[06:15] <Clavi> MrObvious: what would you recommend for swap?
[06:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Thankfully there were no family secrets stored in my buffer.  FYI the script that saves a copy of xorg,fstab,sources,and grub boot now works.
[06:15] <MrObvious> i3luefire: Oops I ment menu.lst file.
[06:15] <reallyjoel> What do I do with the .run driver file I just downloaded from ATI? ./ doesn't work.
[06:15] <dug> lesshaste: if wireless is working, you can just click on the icon in the top bar and see all the access points in range, or one command line type: iwlist scan
[06:15] <overclucker> but it may not suit your purposes to use 100,
[06:15] <bruenig> Jack_Sparrow, four lines long?
[06:15] <MrObvious> Clavi: Dunno. I'd say a Gig. buy some more memory right away.
[06:15] <overclucker> you could try 90
[06:15] <nathan> when I use xmms, my sound is loud as hell.. it's only when I play videos and movies that it's too quiet and vlc (only vlc) has no sound in some files and sound in others..
[06:15] <lesshaste> dug, thanks.. I was looking for something will continuosly monitor the networks while I walk around
[06:15] <bruenig> or you could do it with a for loop in 3
[06:15] <Jack_Sparrow> bruenig: YEp about that
[06:15] <tonyyarusso> reallyjoel: chmod +x first (should be in the instructions I think)
[06:16] <Clavi> overclucker: ok, I'll try that.
[06:16] <dug> lesshaste: i'd maybe do a google search for 'ubuntu war driving' or something like that maybe :)
[06:16] <Clavi> MrObvious: Thanks... will do
[06:16] <lesshaste> dug, ok thanks :)
[06:16] <overclucker> clavi: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2005/10/07/memory-swap-management/#comment-77307
[06:16] <reallyjoel> tonyyarusso, Should I write that alone on a line, or use the filename after?
[06:16] <MrObvious> Clavi: :)
[06:16] <bruenig> lesshaste, if you are war driving, you really want to get familiar with iwlist and the other cli stuff not the front ends
[06:16] <tonyyarusso> reallyjoel: filename after
[06:17] <Some_ux> where is it customary to place application which all users will require, or that are common to the system ?
[06:17] <lesshaste> bruenig, ok.. I am actually just trying to work out where I can connect more easily
[06:17] <reallyjoel> tonyyarusso, k, thanks
[06:17] <Some_ux> ie... the program files form linux

[06:17] <bruenig> Some_ux, what program is it?
[06:17] <h1st0_> _Ulver_: xchat
[06:17] <BBking> Mr0bvious, there is nothing wrong with this, is there? http://rafb.net/p/u4f2p676.html
[06:17] <h1st0_> _Ulver_: if your looking for an X client if not use irssi
[06:17] <Some_ux> bruenig: no-ip
[06:18] <i3luefire> so in my menu.lst this is my windows entry what do i need to do to it?

[06:18] <Some_ux> cool
[06:18] <tonyyarusso> reallyjoel: define "nothing happens"
[06:18] <BBking> Realy weird >_<
[06:18] <BBking> *Really
[06:18] <MrObvious> BBking: If you can't get it maybe someone else will have an idea. Did you change the resolution?
[06:18] <bruenig> Some_ux, if it is a conventional file system hierarchy complaint thing that you are compiling yourself, it is conventional to put it in /usr/local
[06:18] <reallyjoel> tonyyarusso, I get a new line. No feedback whats so ever
[06:18] <MrObvious> BBking: I mean through Gnome.
[06:19] <tonyyarusso> reallyjoel: that's normal
[06:19] <BBking> Uh...how?
[06:19] <Gh0Sty2K> Is it possible to get Ubuntu to verify against a windows 2000 Active directory user account? If so how?
[06:19] <_Ulver_> h1st0, I'm using Xchat but 'by standard' it's really simplory. I can install plugins, I know but do you know another one?
[06:19] <bruenig> Some_ux, if it is not fhs complaint, you should stick it in its own directory in /opt
[06:19] <reallyjoel> tonyyarusso, so now what?
[06:19] <BBking> I just went to System etc
[06:19] <PriceChild> _Ulver_, xchat or xchat-gnome ?
[06:19] <_Ulver_> xchat
[06:19] <MrObvious> BBking: Guh. IDK honestly. I think if you go System -> Preferences -> Desktop something or Display something.
[06:19] <reallyjoel> tonyyarusso, nvm =)
[06:19] <tonyyarusso> reallyjoel: In Linux, the system assumes that things will work, and only bothers telling you if something went wrong, as opposed to Windows, which gets excited when it succeeds and gives you a "Yay!!" popup.
[06:20] <Some_ux> ok
[06:20] <reallyjoel> tonyyarusso, yeah but I have no idea what chmod does, or why I had to execute it on the file first
[06:20] <MrObvious> _Ulver_: Make sure you don't use xchat-gnome. It's a bug of Ubuntu to install that by default. :\
[06:20] <tonyyarusso> reallyjoel: sets the executable bit on the file
[06:20] <reallyjoel> tonyyarusso, mkay
[06:21] <bruenig> MrObvious, no it isn't
[06:21] <MrObvious> bruenig: What isn't?

[06:32] <i3luefire> i am out of practice on irc
[06:32] <lesshaste> MrObvious, thx
[06:32] <shwouchk> Pici: I found a fix... it's a bug
[06:32] <dug> Some_ux: wine is difficult to compile from source.  You need to use git to get the latest sources and install a bunch of dependencies for it to compile: http://www.winehq.org/site/git http://wiki.winehq.org/Recommended_Packages
[06:32] <bruenig> wine is not that hard to compile
[06:32] <Invisionfree> Pici can I check if a partition is mounted?
[06:32] <i3luefire> thanks for the help MrObvious
[06:33] <niuq> hi, a friend of mine, installed windows after linux, so the grub it was erased or something, i'd like to know how can he retrieve the grub
[06:33] <dug> bruenig: that's great for us to know
[06:33] <Puaff> please, I have an intel nic in motherboard and ubuntu 7.04 doesn't found it, which is the proper driver?
[06:33] <Pici> Invisionfree: mount will return everything that is mounted
[06:33] <ikonia> niuq: you have to reinstall grub
[06:33] <MrObvious> i3luefire: YW. DId you get gedit up with your menu.lst yet? YOu never answered me before.
[06:33] <afs> do we have a resident apt/dpkg 'expert'?

[06:33] <MrObvious> Oops
[06:33] <niuq> ikonia: and how i do that?
[06:33] <Invisionfree> Rofl..
[06:33] <bruenig> dug, don't lie to people, perhaps if it required patching or something it might be hard, but it is straight forward, ./configure make make install
[06:33] <ikonia> niuq check the link in the pm you've just been sent
[06:33] <nalleman> Hi. maybe a somehow strange question, but how should I do to install a deb package
[06:33] <Pici> afs: Ask us the question and perhaps we can answer.
[06:33] <ompaul> i3luefire, so what you do is in a terminal: sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst  and in there you will have a word "default" and it will at the moment have a value of 0 - you need to change this to a higher number, 0 is the first entry in the list of grub that is booted, and you can count the entries below that until you come to windows or whatever its name is and then remove the number 0 and replace it with that number have a nice day

[06:33] <afs> Pici: . I've got a small dpkg/apt problem. I interrupted a dist-upgrade (while fetching packages) to change to a faster mirror. All new dist-upgrade attempts only mention a bunch of packages are held back, and no updates are performed. any clues?
[06:34] <niuq> ikonia: ok thx
[06:34] <ikonia> hey ompaul didn't see you awake
[06:34] <dug> bruenig: read what i posted.  it is not as simple as .configure make sudo make install, there are numerous dependencies.  Some_ux is a complete beginner at compiling.
[06:34] <ompaul> ikonia, I didn't I just appeared :)
[06:34] <MrObvious> Hey ompaul
[06:34] <Pici> afs: run sudo apt-get install -f
[06:34] <ikonia> ah
[06:34] <dudeicles> BBking: Do you have nvidia-glx installed?
[06:34] <Invisionfree> bruenig: Is there any reason if I "sudo gparted" that GParted wouldn't format my NTFS Vista partition?
[06:34] <ompaul> MrObvious, :)
[06:34] <bruenig> dug, my bad, sudo apt-get build-dep wine ; ./configure; make; make install
[06:34] <lesshaste> MrObvious, thx
[06:34] <BBking> dudicles, how can i check that
[06:34] <afs> pici: 0 upgraded 0 newly installed 0 to remove and 86 not upgraded
[06:34] <MrObvious> lesshaste: YW.
[06:34] <bruenig> that is 25% harder than I first advertised
[06:34] <Some_ux> make and make install seem to have created the no-ip executable

[06:34] <ubotu> BBking: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[06:35] <MrObvious> BBking: Also...
[06:35] <ikonia> Some_ux no-ip ?
[06:35] <dug> bruenig: enough already, you don't even know what he is trying to do.  He is not trying to compile an old version of wine.  He is compiling it from the latest dev sources from scratch
[06:35] <Pici> afs: apt-get upgrade or dist-upgrade doesnt return any errors?
[06:35] <i3luefire> Pici: i did it is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/36800/
[06:35] <MrObvious> BBking: What is the output of cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep nv
[06:35] <afs> no errors
[06:35] <afs> Pici:  the packages are in the state 'held back' whatever that means
[06:35] <Some_ux> ikonia: its a dns server of sorts
[06:35] <afs> Pici: the commands just return to my shell
[06:35] <shwouchk> what is more recommended - lvm or evms?
[06:36] <BBking> Driver      "vvidia"
[06:36] <BBking> *n
[06:36] <ikonia> shwouchk: my opinion - lvm all the time
[06:36] <BBking> Mr0bvious ^
[06:36] <bruenig> dug, I have been following him, just don't lie to people, I get tired of seeing untruths that people use to justify their particular solution. They aren't necessary, just give your solution without misleading people.
[06:36] <dudeicles> BBking: Try this command `glxinfo | grep -i opengl` in terminal
[06:36] <MrObvious> dudeicles: BBking: Okay so you got the nvidia driver installed. Good.
[06:36] <Some_ux> ikonia: allows you to get your IP without a domain name.
[06:36] <Invisionfree> bruenig: Is there any reason if I "sudo gparted" that GParted wouldn't format my NTFS Vista partition?
[06:36] <shwouchk> ikonia: why?
[06:36] <BBking> I knew it :)
[06:36] <MrObvious> BBking: Try dudeicles' command now.
[06:36] <ikonia> shwouchk more support, better tools, less dependencies, intergration with grub and lilo
[06:36] <bruenig> Invisionfree, is it mounted?
[06:36] <Pici> afs: Have you done an update since you interrupted the upgrade?
[06:37] <dug> bruenig: you obviously were not following what he is trying to do.  Because your advice was completely wrong.  Those instructions would compile 0.9.44 of wine, which is exactly what is he not trying to do, since 0.9.44 has a bug he is trying to overcome.
[06:37] <bruenig> Invisionfree, also don't use sudo with graphical applications
[06:37] <BBking> OpenGL : command not found :/
[06:37] <afs> Pici: no

[06:37] <i3luefire> can i edit my menu.lst file using explore2fs under windows xp
[06:37] <i3luefire> ?
[06:37] <ikonia> blinker: mount it and then type "mount" and see what its mounted
[06:37] <dudeicles> BBking: You may not have nvidia-glx installed
[06:37] <ikonia> i3luefire I'd strongly advise against it
[06:37] <bruenig> dug, I did not tell him to compile it, I am just saying that when you direct him don't tell him it is hard to compile when it isn't
[06:37] <scoin> !hi | scoin
[06:37] <Invisionfree> bruenig: The resize/move options, etc., don't work without sudo >.<
[06:37] <dug> bruenig: you need to take a nap, you are being verbally abusive and an asshole to boot
[06:37] <i3luefire> what may happen?
[06:37] <bruenig> dug, instead just tell him what to do without the incorrect unnecessary side note
[06:37] <ikonia> dug easy on the language
[06:37] <BBking> dudeicles: i'll look up the link you gave earlier on
[06:37] <MrObvious> i3luefire: Why? You can do it from Linux using several methods already mentioned.   You are being an asshole to suggest that I was wrong to let him know that compiling wine from source would not be so easy.
[06:38] <i3luefire> but ok
[06:38] <faileas> i3luefire: and windows and unix text files are not the same, you'd need a unix compatable text editor
[06:38] <afs> Pici: trying that now, seems to make 'some' progess-  it is installing newer packages now, but some are still kept back
[06:38] <MrObvious> Invisionfree: It's a command to run GUI apps as root. It's like sudo only for X apps.
[06:38] <ikonia> i3luefire pardon ?
[06:38] <Invisionfree> bruenig: , not as far as I can tell, but them again, I'm not sure what I'm looking for
[06:39] <Pici> MrObvious: gksudo
[06:39] <ompaul> !language | dug
[06:39] <ubotu> dug: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[06:39] <bruenig> dug, it is the easiest possible compile, ./configure make make install is the easiest possible ones, there are hard compiles which require a bunch of configure options and patching and such, but wine is not one of those
[06:39] <afs> Pici: thanks for the pointer
[06:39] <Pici> afs: sometimes it takes a few upgrades to get all the packages.

[06:41] <PriceChild> liam, irc is for talking.
[06:41] <Pici> BBking: sudo -K
[06:41] <i3luefire> it is just that i have tried so many times to do the things that everyone here has suggested and it never seems to work. and i am getting frustrated. can i run my linux under a VM to do the edit?
[06:41] <bruenig> Invisionfree, yeah or just cat /etc/mtab, its a short file
[06:41] <Invisionfree> K
[06:41] <liam> and you can also download files
[06:41] <afs> Pici: at least this time I'm making a 'edgy'stop in between. my box didnt like the dapper->feisty transition
[06:41] <ikonia> i3luefire no as thats a different install
[06:41] <MrObvious> k31th: I know this is off topic but you'll need to install 64 bit Winblows. There is a problem with 32 bit and 4GB as MFT uses it up.
[06:41] <dudeicles> Pici: What does sudo -K do?
[06:41] <PriceChild> liam, what do you want?
[06:41] <faileas> liam: you can't use irc to download, you can send and recieve files via DCC, but not 'download'
[06:41] <Pici> afs: Yes, it isn't reccomended that you skip releases when upgrading.
[06:42] <BBking> same error if i run that Pici
[06:42] <liam> thats the same as downloading
[06:42] <k31th> MrObvious: yeah, i just wondered if ubuntu would see the full 4gb.
[06:42] <ikonia> k31th: if you use 64 bit it would
[06:42] <k31th> does anyone play CS in Cedega?
[06:42] <martiiin_> What does i get "  [ Error writing /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Permission denied ]  "
[06:42] <MrObvious> k31th: Probably not.
[06:42] <Pici> dudeicles: resets the sudo timestamp
[06:42] <Invisionfree> bruenig: I see no /dev/sda# in it
[06:42] <dudeicles> hmmm
[06:42] <Pici> martiiin_: You need sudo privs to write to it.
[06:42] <Jabu> Another maybe comon question i guess: Will i need further stuff to harden ubuntu?
[06:42] <MrObvious> k31th: But 64 bit works better in Linux than Winblows.
[06:42] <dudeicles> he's still having the error though
[06:42] <liam> i just want some apps for ubuntu
[06:42] <k31th> i see.
[06:42] <ikonia> MrObvious thats not true, but this is offtopic
[06:42] <bruenig> Invisionfree, ok and that is the disk with ntfs?
[06:42] <Pici> liam: Use the package repositories.
[06:42] <k31th> ther eis not 64bit flash player etc tho ?

[06:43] <MrObvious> Jabu: Unless it's a server that is exposed to the Internet that does a lot of critical applications, probably not.
[06:43] <Invisionfree> bruenig: Yes, /dev/sda1 holds Vista on an NTFS formatted partition
[06:43] <Jabu> MrObvious: yes. Firewall, ip filter, you know...
[06:43] <liam> it's not there it has dissapeard
[06:43] <MrObvious> Jabu: I haven't seen any viruses really for Linux yet.
[06:43] <bruenig> Invisionfree, ok and there is no option to delete the partition in gparted?

[06:44] <Jabu> MrObvious: yepp, i know, but i dont need to use a virus if somone opens me adoor
[06:44] <bruenig> Invisionfree, you can't partition without losing your files
[06:44] <bruenig> Invisionfree, I mean format without losing
[06:44] <dudeicles> BBking: Try Synaptic Package Manager
[06:44] <MrObvious> Jabu: Is this a critical server or just a small end server or a desktop?
[06:44] <Invisionfree> bruenig: All I'm trying to do is resize, not format...

[06:45] <Pici> BBking: What about sudo -k
[06:45] <bruenig> Invisionfree, what happens when you try to resize?
[06:45] <Jabu> MrObvious: this will be a small end desktop (i guess). But i think i will run a torrent client... so it will serve as a server in that case
[06:45] <markelhas> MrObvious, they are gone

[06:46] <bruenig> Invisionfree, try resizing it down by 1 mb or something really small
[06:46] <Invisionfree> bruenig: Would you like a screenshot of it?
[06:46] <bruenig> no
[06:46] <dudeicles> BBking:  try this. Open' System>Administration>Time and Date

[06:47] <aztec13> you got one of gmail?
[06:47] <markelhas> MrObvious, any tips!
[06:47] <dudeicles> then use the bottom button to synchronize as well
[06:47] <dudeicles> see if that helps
[06:47] <bruenig> Invisionfree, I've never resized ntfs, I know it can be done but I don't know under what conditions, perhaps the drive is fragmented?

[06:58] <BBking> and no
[06:58] <BBking> I cannot
[06:58] <bruenig> jzl, use it as a parameter to the terminal, depending on the terminal, it will look something like "terminalexecutable -e script.sh"
[06:58] <dudeicles> k i had the same problem
[06:59] <Aminux> how do i install AIGLX?
[06:59] <nathan> why is it that for my new account test//testing to sudo he needs to put in HIS password, testing ??
[06:59] <dudeicles> did you reboot?
[06:59] <dug> Gosha: google for 'ubuntu twinview' and you'll see some tips
[06:59] <BBking> Yes dudeicles
[06:59] <Gosha> Okay, thanks
[06:59] <jzl> bruenig: awesome, care to tell me what the -e is?
[06:59] <beerfan> Anyone had problems with latest compiz fusion not showing window borders for WINE apps?
[06:59] <bruenig> jzl, you need to check the man page of whichever terminal you are using, but it stands for execute
[06:59] <bruenig> jzl, some of them are -x
[07:00] <bruenig> jzl, basically the command reads, launch the terminal and execute script.sh
[07:00] <dudeicles> BBking: You may also need to install nvidia-settings
[07:00] <BBking> sudo apt-get install nvidia-settings?
[07:00] <dudeicles> yeah
[07:00] <jzl> bruenig: ok.. just the default one on ubuntu under the Accessories menu
[07:00] <bruenig> jzl, I think that is gnome-terminal, I don't know how the parameters work for it
[07:00] <Aminux> how do i install AIGLX?
[07:00] <BBking> :o Maybe that's it
[07:01] <BBking> installing now

[07:03] <ikonia> Jabapyth nvu is dead
[07:03] <dudeicles> BBking: if you don't see it right awya, I would. That's was how I got mine to work.
[07:03] <ikonia> its been forked
[07:03] <Jabapyth> ...:(
[07:03] <Jabapyth> into what?
[07:03] <ikonia> can't remember the name
[07:03] <dudeicles> BBking: if all taht don't work the last thing I did was the auto resolution checker and rebooted.
[07:03] <ikonia> amv or something
[07:03] <ian_001> i meant for looking at the contents of zip files and other archive types
[07:03] <BBking> i can start nvidia-settings in the terminal
[07:03] <BBking> but i can't configure the resolution
[07:04] <ian_001> i am using openbox and dont have nautilus installed
[07:04] <BBking> auto resolution checker?
[07:04] <BBking> Where can I get it?
[07:04] <dug> ian_001: if you double click a zip or .tar.gz file, nautilus (gnome's file manager) will let you explore them
[07:04] <kdubois> how do you set the side button on a wacom stylus to function as a right click, as opposed to scrollwhell click?

[07:04] <nathan> can anyone explain to me sudo? why would only knowing your own password be good enough for root access?
[07:04] <PriitM> dug: thank you for the help! I manage to solve the problem with installing java jre 5 :)
[07:04] <dudeicles> BBking: It lets you choose how high you want your resolution, but the first time I did it, it didn't work
[07:04] <dudeicles> BBking: maybe it will work for you. brb
[07:04] <Jabapyth> ikonia: is therer something like nvu I can get?
[07:04] <faileas> nathan: its not quite root account but root privledhes
[07:05] <SeveredCross> !sudo | nathan
[07:05] <ubotu> nathan: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[07:05] <BBking> dudeicles i'll restart now
[07:05] <ikonia> Jabapyth no idea
[07:05] <faileas> sudo gives you root for just that one co,,ad
[07:05] <faileas> command

[07:05] <Gh0Sty2K> how do i restart swat
[07:05] <nathan> I just assumed you needed the root password to do the commands. Is there a way to set it up where users can run root commands by entering the root password?
[07:05] <Gh0Sty2K> it does not seem to recognise the command
[07:06] <SeveredCross> Gh0Sty2K: sudo /etc/init.d/swat restart
[07:06] <kdubois> nathan, you can switch to the superuser with the 'su' command...
[07:06] <Aminux> how can i install ATI open drivers?
[07:06] <Gh0Sty2K> SeveredCross:  says command not found
[07:06] <Gh0Sty2K> SeveredCross:  but i have installed it as far as i am aware
[07:06] <kdubois> Aminux: i think they're installed by default, at least for radeons....
[07:06] <SeveredCross> Gh0Sty2K: Are you sure it's installed? That's the standard way to restart a daemon.
[07:06] <logan_> I am trying to use the restricted NVIDIA driver but when I click it nothing happends
[07:07] <Gh0Sty2K> SeveredCross:  let me recheck
[07:07] <nathan> kbrosnan: I made an account test//testing . when he clicks on synaptic package manager I want it to ask for the root password.
[07:07] <dgjones> Jabapyth, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kompozer
[07:07] <Aminux> kdubois: i uninstalled them by mistake
[07:07] <Journeyman> is there a way to make it so when I use apt to install it puts the program all in /usr/local/PROGRAM
[07:07] <kdubois> Aminux: was it an uninstall of the binaries, or did you just disable it in xorg.conf?
[07:07] <Journeyman> rather than spreading it out among /usr/bin /usr/lib /etc and so on
[07:08] <Aminux> binaries
[07:08] <Jabapyth> dgjones: thaks so much!
[07:08] <Aminux> the xorg.conf is unchanged
[07:08] <afs> nathan: there *is* no root password
[07:08] <logan_> I am trying to use the restricted NVIDIA driver but when I click it nothing happends
[07:08] <SeveredCross> I don't understand why you want to make everyone know the root password.
[07:08] <SeveredCross> How many users are going to be using the box?
[07:08] <nathan> afs: there *is* a root password on my system
[07:08] <SeveredCross> Then modify sudo
[07:08] <SeveredCross> You need to edit /etc/sudoers
[07:09] <afs> nathan: ah. ok ;-) sudo is a per-user privilege thing, it wont ask for the root password
[07:09] <kdubois> Aminux: try sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-ati
[07:09] <afs> (you can use 'su' if you want to enter that one
[07:09] <SeveredCross> Well.
[07:09] <SeveredCross> Sudo can ask for the root password.
[07:09] <SeveredCross> It does on almost every other distro.
[07:09] <nathan> SeveredCross: because if I set it up that way, I could install programs and administer without having to log in as myself or root to do it, and at the same time the user wouldn't be able to mess anything up
[07:09] <SeveredCross> nathan: Then just remove them from the admin group.
[07:09] <beerfan> nathan: sudo bash
[07:09] <SeveredCross> Nobody but users in the admin group can use sudo
[07:10] <kdubois> nathan, you can specify what users get sudo access, you know
[07:10] <SeveredCross> No, not sudo bash, sudo -s or sudo -i
[07:10] <afs> nathan: i'd use sudo -s
[07:10] <Aminux> kdubois: it says already installed
[07:10] <nathan> SeveredCross: I want to be able to administer from anyone's account
[07:10] <reallyjoel> Do I have to do something for executables to be doubleclick-able?
[07:10] <nathan> as in click on synaptic package manager
[07:10] <SeveredCross> Man, you're making this situation complicated.
[07:10] <kdubois> Aminux: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg-video-ati
[07:10] <beerfan> nathan: no you don't
[07:10] <ZAKhan> how to install flash 9?
[07:10] <tuqann> hi, anyone knows why sometimes my Ubuntu system when moving large number of files at the same time or big files from my EXT to my FAT32 they disappear when i boot to my XP system?
[07:10] <PriceChild> reallyjoel, chmod +x /path/to/file
[07:10] <nathan> I just assumed this was how it was set up this whole time and I'm kind of surprised it's far less secure than I thought
[07:10] <Aminux> kdubois: nothing happened
[07:11] <SeveredCross> Modify /etc/sudoers, and if sudo is modified to ask for the user's password and not the root password at the ode lefvel, recompile sudo.
[07:11] <beerfan> ZAKhan: sudo apt-get install flash-nonfree
[07:11] <SeveredCross> nathan: How is it LESS secure to not have a root password?
[07:11] <kronos> can anyone help me with maildrop in a virtual mail setup ? I need maildrop for quota, but I can't get it to work.
[07:11] <PriceChild> beerfan, flashplugin-nonfree
[07:11] <SeveredCross> Not having a root password prevents you from a lot of different attacks.
[07:11] <dug> reallyjoel: or right click the file in nautilus, go to properties,and make it executable
[07:11] <nathan> SeveredCross: because now any old bum who has sudo access is exactly the same as a full root
[07:11] <reallyjoel> PriceChild, I mean the behavior of the file browser
[07:11] <quaal> what is a good burning program
[07:11] <SeveredCross> Then remove their sudo access! Or limit the commands they can run.
[07:11] <PriceChild> reallyjoel, should normally work fine, will ask you whether you want to read or execute
[07:11] <kdubois> Aminux: something might have happened. make sure that somewhere in you xorg.conf the ati driver is specified, and then restart your xserver. hopefully the reconfiguring took effect
[07:11] <SeveredCross> quaal: K3B is probably the best.
[07:11] <ZAKhan> beerfan, "E: Couldn't find package flash-nonfree"
[07:12] <quaal> SeveredCross, it sucks
[07:12] <nathan> SeveredCross: that means all you need for root access is ANYONE's access who is on sudo
[07:12] <SeveredCross> Gnomebaker?
[07:12] <quaal> i'm getting 0% buffer while burning a dvd at 4x
[07:12] <quaal> unacceptable
[07:12] <beerfan> ZAKhan: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[07:12] <nathan> that's dissapointing to me and I think I need to take a break right now..
[07:12] <SeveredCross> nathan: Yeah but that's a bit harder to accomolish.
[07:12] <beerfan> ZAKhan: sorry
[07:12] <SeveredCross> You need to guess a username first.
[07:12] <SeveredCross> Those are a lot harder to guess compared to just trying root and guessing a root password.
[07:12] <kdubois> ZAKhan: download from adobe's website, extract the packages and then put the .so file in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[07:12] <dudeicles> BBking: Is it workign now?
[07:12] <SeveredCross> Despite what you may think, it ends up being more secure, at least IMO.
[07:12] <reallyjoel> PriceChild, Konqueror doesnt say or do a thing when I doubleclick a file that i executable according to Konqueror itself
[07:13] <nathan> SeveredCross: having full access to many users is not more secure than only to one imo.
[07:13] <reallyjoel> i=is
[07:13] <PriceChild> reallyjoel, ahhh i was thinking you were talking nautilus in ubuntu, I don't know sorry
[07:13] <Aminux> kdubois: is this section correct ?
[07:13] <marrabld> can anyone help me. i am trying to install the libmad.0 for K3B.   I didi through the synaptic but K3b is teilling me that it cant find it.
[07:13] <BBking> Dudeicles: I booted up my pc, and I got an error, which prevented me starting ubuntu, so I installed sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[07:13] <user12345> Does anyone here know if, given that I can't boot feisty from the Live CD but can install Dapper, that if I manage to upgrade to feisty ill lose access to the drives again?
[07:13] <SeveredCross> marrabld: sudo apt-get install libmad0
[07:13] <Aminux> kdubois: Section "Extensions"
[07:13] <Aminux> 	Option		"Composite"	"Enable"
[07:13] <Aminux> 	Option		"Composite"	"0"
[07:13] <Aminux> EndSection
[07:13] <BBking> And no it's not working
[07:14] <ZAKhan> beerfan, after installing it usopen.org still gives an error "This application requires features of Flash 9, at minimum"
[07:14] <nathan> it would be more secure if you had no one on the sudo ilst, *I see that*, but in a situation where I don't want to have to log in as root all the time it's kind of insecure.
[07:14] <SeveredCross> nathan: I really don't see your point. If you don't want everyone to have root access, remove their sudo privileges.
