[18:31] <Duke_Fluke> peter120980,  run the command 'sudo updatedb' then 'locate xorg.conf'
[18:31] <JFactor> mcisbackuk: I dont know which ones to delete it there doesnt seem to be anything added
[18:32] <insigne> oie
[18:32] <mcisbackuk> adelie: Let me guess, it's an Intel 915 series graphics chip right?
[18:32] <adelie> 950
[18:32] <MeNoS> ikonia
[18:32] <mcisbackuk> JFactor: The ones that are exactly the same as the error you were getting
[18:32] <adelie> mcisbackuk: 950
[18:33] <JFactor> mcisbackuk: there arent any
[18:33] <mcisbackuk> adelie: Intel 915/950 graphics chipset has no 3D support that i know of...I think in windows it may even 'fake' a lot of the support, I was reading up on it yesterday, no pixel shader high end support etc. So I would assume linux is same.
[18:33] <peter120980> ok gonna go try that sudo thing
[18:33] <mcisbackuk> JFactor: Then if there's no errors, there's no problem....
[18:34] <JFactor> But there is a problem
[18:34] <crdlb> mcisbackuk: ... it may not have pixel shaders, but provide 3d acceleration
[18:34] <mcisbackuk> crdlb: I know, but because of limitations on these chipsets, 3d support is pretty useless anyway, it can't hold it's own.
[18:35] <crdlb> mcisbackuk: it's enough for compiz :)
[18:35] <crdlb> so not entirely useless
[18:35] <adelie> mcisbackuk: stealthy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=512691 are you perchance using ubuntu 64-bit edition?
[18:36] <JFactor> mcisbackuk: because with this whenever I install a plugin it fails because the final three packages wont download
[18:36] <shift1> is there any way to reset everything to default without having to install ubuntu over again?
[18:36] <mcisbackuk> JFactor: Please remove any occurrences in sources.list for the errors you are getting, you said AMD64 gutsy-updates, so start with that ;) Then re-run the updates, but make sure to re-enable the updates sources in system>Admin>Software Sources

[18:37] <sedra> hi
[18:37] <shift1> Is there anyway to reset everything to default and remove all softwares that didnt come default.. without having to install ubuntu all over again?
[18:37] <peter120980> ok i did the "sudo updatedb" i got a blinking cursor for a bit then it went back to the comannd prompt.  I have also managed to locate xorg.conf as well
[18:37] <adelie> crdlb: what is has allows it to run, which is different than lowering your desktop footprint by offloading your desktop to your graphics card. compiz with software rendering defeats the purpose of switching to compiz unless the purpose was eye candy
[18:37] <mcisbackuk> shift1: Not really.....
[18:38] <altra22> back guys ubuntu didn't make it here is the result of all commands http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2116/2225897441_957822d2ff_o.png
[18:38] <shift1> is there a command i can use to install the new updates without using GUI then?
[18:38] <DRebellion> peter120980: that is normal behaviour of updatedb
[18:38] <mcisbackuk> sudo apt-get upgrade

[18:39] <bastones> Hello. I am trying to make my Belkin USB G wireless adapter work with my Ubuntu laptop, and I am not getting anywhere with it. I tried adding a wireless connection via 'Networking' with no luck (from a Ubuntu documentation) any help appreciated
[18:39] <ubuntu_> hi, I need help. I have my system down and have booted with Kubuntu livecd. I have mounted my home partition and now am creating a new user in console so that I can login and restore my session. I type this command: useradd -p test -d /media/user1/home user1  when I logout and login the password test is not recognized. Is there something wrong I am doing?
[18:39] <ubuntu_> moreover, if I wish to get back into livecd, what user and password should I use?
[18:39] <peter120980> ok ill edit the xorg.conf file and see what happens
[18:39] <altra22> usr13 you still here ?
[18:40] <DRebellion> ubuntu_: you're just editing the ramfs that the livecd set up. not the hard drive.
[18:40] <mcisbackuk> JFactor: Remove the bottom 4 lines and retry, it's trying to get updates twice
[18:40] <bastones> * sorry I mean my ubuntu desktop
[18:41] <ubuntu_> DRebellion: so, what does this mean? I am doing something wrong? Can you advice please? I was told to do so for getting into my profile using a livecd distro with kde
[18:41] <void^> ubuntu_: with -p you need to specify an encrypted password. it doesn't take a clear text password on the commandline.
[18:41] <jahsmac> ./whois chanserv
[18:41] <adelie> bastones: while possible not very encouraging, I found this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=416248. are you familiar with nswrapper? and do you have a landline to get packages to make the wireless work?

[18:43] <DRebellion> !install | thecoolone19
[18:43] <ubuntu_> ok, thks
[18:43] <adelie> ubuntu_: when you added the user, did you chroot to your system before adding the user, othwerwise you only added the user to the live session, which would be reset on restart'
[18:43] <_nmap> whats the package name for install the C man-pages with apt-get? When i type man qsort my ubuntu dont find the man page.

[18:45] <PiranhaP> Dukan: hello.  Sorry, didn't expect any greetings :)
[18:46] <Seth275> Hi everyone.
[18:46] <peter120980> still get the same problem after i change the xorg.conf file to what the forums suggest. One thing i was wondering was about my BusID "PCI:2:0:0", this is a PCI-E slot, coul this possibly be wrong?
[18:46] <void^> ubuntu_: perhaps, i don't really know what you're trying to do.. the path doesn't look right either way
[18:46] <shift1> when playing mpegs, wmvs, etc.. whats the better choice for EASY use VLC or MPlayer
[18:46] <brobostigon> bastones: i think its ndiswrapper, not nswrapper
[18:46] <adelie> ubuntu_: when you are in the live session, run `chroot` with the root directory of your normal system you want to fix as the argument. in my case that would mean, for example, mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /media/home, followed by chroot /media/home then adduser...
[18:47] <unagi> what command do i need to issue for mencoder to strip the audio from a video file
[18:47] <Seth275> I'm a bit confused. Currently I'm trying to compile my own kernel but for some reason the system is missing important header like sys/types.h. Do I have to installe a seperate packet to get them?
[18:47] <bod_> dreamnid, hey dude, remember me,. the loading bar problem?
[18:47] <altra22> Shift1 this is the result of sudo iwconfig    http://pastebin.com/d2db9b693
[18:47] <adelie> sorry, it is ndiswrapper, not nswrapper
[18:47] <bastones> Not sure what to do to get my wireless USB adapter to work, I don't have any experience about what ndiswrapper is or whatever, and how to use it to get my adapter to work.
[18:48] <ubuntu_> what if I wish to get back into live cd. What is the live cd username and password?
[18:48] <Dukan> ok, PiranhaP, I understand

[18:49] <kbrooks> um
[18:49] <kbrooks> i need to encrypt swap.
[18:49] <brunner> is there a GUI tool that will do a search and replace in multiple files?

[18:56] <brobostigon> Skrux: well it works for me,
[18:56] <adelie> bastones: if getting a different wireless adapter is not an option, then sorry to say you would most likely your best option is switching back to windows. However, if part of your reason for using ubuntu is because you value your freedom and right to privacy, I highly recommend using windows 2000, as it doesn't have all the back doors of xp or vista

[19:04] <altra22> Yes because now iam on the router and there is no routers nearby
[19:04] <TIRC_8758> cia a tutti

[19:05] <fatih> bod_: i used like this   ' sudo chmod 775 /var/www
[19:05] <bastones> oh
[19:05] <bastones> I found the model number, is that what you need?
[19:05] <fatih> bod_: wrong?
[19:05] <bod_> fatih,  no thats fine
[19:05] <fatih> bod_: so still same
[19:05] <bod_> fatih,  but you might need to do the same for your php files
[19:05] <DRebellion> bastones: what is it?
[19:06] <altra22> usr13 i will try to test the commands i will be back ;) thx again
[19:06] <fatih> bod_: hmm. so this is a big problem. coz i am creating them now and testing under localhost
[19:06] <TIRC_8758> !command
[19:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about command - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[19:06] <bod_> fatih, no, its little
[19:06] <bastones> F5D7O50 I believe or o5o or 050
[19:06] <bod_> fatih, which ever program your using to make them, load the program with sudo,. eg sudo gedit
[19:07] <bastones> i think its F5D7050
[19:07] <H_O_S> however gksu "update-manager -c -d"works. i doubt i can update from dapper to gutsy ?
[19:07] <DRebellion> bastones: i have F5D7050uk
[19:07] <fatih> bod_: ahh i forgot this totally
[19:07] <debaser_> hi, i have ubuntu 7.10 installed as the only os on my desktop now i want to install windows without removing ubuntu is this possible if so how do i do it?
[19:07] <brunner> you guys know of a GUI tool that will do a search and replace in multiple files?
[19:07] <bod_> fatih, ok,. lemme no if it helps
[19:07] <bastones> yes that's the one I have... except its without the uk at the end...
[19:08] <bastones> what would I have to do to make it work on my Ubuntu computer?
[19:08] <usr13> debaser_: If you left the first partition for MS Windows, yes, if not... no
[19:08] <DRebellion> bastones: it worked out of the box for me
[19:08] <MM2> I have in a NTFS partition folder "Häävideo" and it is hidden in Ubuntu. How I can access that folder in Ubuntu?
[19:08] <adelie> brunner: because that is technical, that is a much mire appropriate thing to do from a command line, but if you want to IM me, I'd be happy to show you how / give some specific examples for whatever you are trying to do
[19:08] <bod_> MM2, try ctrl+H
[19:09] <debaser_> usr13, i dont think i left any on the first partition
[19:09] <DRebellion> bastones: ok, i'll try and help you debug it
[19:09] <adelie> MM2: hit Ctrl-h
[19:09] <DRebellion> bastones: can you describe in detail what you have tried so far?
[19:09] <usr13> debaser_: If you left the master drive for MS Windows yes.  If your computer will boot to the second drive, yes. (Depends on the hardware too.)
[19:09] <magnetron> hi! how do i enable the AAC support in ffmpeg?
[19:09] <brunner> adelie: I appreciate that.  I was going to use perl, but I was afraid of messing things up.  I'll PM you.
[19:09] <fatih> bod_: works perfect. thank you very much for hint
[19:09] <adelie> MM2: files are hidden by prepending them with a period
[19:09] <bastones> oh, really? I'll go try now, would I have to go to Networking to setup a wireless connection, or install it on the Ubuntu computer from the CD installation. Not sure if it'll work as it states the sys requirements windows 98+
[19:09] <bod_> fatih, no problems (donations welcome) lol
[19:09] <jughead> How do I download a website to edit? I need to download, make changes, and republish a web page
[19:09] <bastones> I've not tried any steps like drivers or anything, just read around to find a solution
[19:10] <mikebeecham> can anyone help me with an answer to this problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=73
[19:10] <bod_> jughead, fttp acces
[19:10] <debaser_> usr13, i have two hard disks, one ntfs and the other for ubuntu alone what if i interchange these hard disks will it work then?
[19:10] <usr13> debaser_:  Is / are your hard drive(s) IDE or ISA or SATA?
[19:10] <ejer> jughead: filezilla or gftp are FTP programs which let you download and upload from web server
[19:10] <Skrux> brobostigon ?
[19:10] <debaser_> usr13, IDE
[19:11] <usr13> debaser_: Sure, if you change out the hard drive, it will boot what ever's on them.
[19:11] <DRebellion> bastones: use system > administration > network to set up the options. are you using encryption?
[19:11] <jughead> ok thanks bod_ and ejer
[19:11] <Skrux> did you copy all the contents of the cd in a directory and executed the .exe with wine only ?
[19:11] <debaser_> ok thanks usr13
[19:11] <bod_> jughead, no probs
[19:11] <pyrops> hi i have a problem with my sound.. there is a red X on top of the speaker icon
[19:11] <debaser_> but tell me usr13 how can i boot from ubuntu again? how will dual boot work?
[19:11] <bod_> Does anyone feel brave enough to help with this :http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=4224157#post4224157
[19:11] <usr13> pyrops: That mean's that it is muted.
[19:12] <H_O_S> hmm it seems nobody ever updates his version with update-manager ?
[19:12] <usr13> pyrops: Un-mute it.
[19:12] <bod_> pyrops, means your sound is either not configured or muted
[19:12] <WillOne> what I have done is: created 2x 25gb partitions. One for XP, which is installed and running fine. Now I've started Ubuntu Live and selected the Partition with ext3 file system and now it says Mount Point, what do I select?
[19:12] <debaser_> usr13, if i do that will i still be able to boot to ubuntu
[19:12] <rrittenhouse> I cant install Flash running Gutsy on 64bit.. I was told I need to edit the postinst file under the control.tar.gz file but im having problems re-adding it to the archive.. HELP! :)
[19:12] <bastones> DRebellion: I am using an older version of Ubuntu which I'll update later on... is it the same one by going to sys configuration (under Computer) then Networking or Computer>network?
[19:12] <usr13> debaser_: If you do what?
[19:13] <bod_> rrittenhouse, no you dont,.pm il walk you through it
[19:13] <pyrops> its not muted, it mentions that there is something wrong with the GStream ??
[19:13] <adelie> brunner: still there?
[19:13] <cosmodad> WillOne: if you want your Ubuntu system to reside in just one partition (likely if you are a newbie), choose / as mountpoint.
[19:13] <debaser_> usr13, if i change the slave hard disk to the master and vice versa
[19:13] <WillOne> cosmodad, I wanted a dual boot and yeah, I'm a newbie.
[19:13] <DRebellion> bastones: i recommend you update to the latest ubuntu before trying anything as it may fix your problem to get the latest drivers etc.
[19:13] <usr13> debaser_: No, if you change from slave to master or from master to slave it will NOT work.
[19:13] <brobostigon> cosmodad: you always need / and swap, so always two partitions.
[19:13] <ejer> bod_: i would just take splash out of grub options for easy fix
[19:14] <cosmodad> brobostigon: yeah sure
[19:14] <bastones> okay ill do that now and get back to you... thanks
[19:14] <neozen> personally I've always felt that /home should be split off on a desktop machine
[19:14] <cosmodad> brobostigon: well technically you don't need swap
[19:14] <debaser_> usr13, then there is no way that i can use both os now?
[19:14] <adelie> rrittenhouse: a very simple solution, though not ideal, is to install kvm to give yourself a vitrual 32 bit enviroment
[19:14] <usr13> debaser_: If your computer will boot slave or master, you can change bios settings to boot one or the other.
[19:14] <cosmodad> WillOne: see what brobostigon says: one more for swap is advisable too
[19:14] <neozen> and var as well on a server
[19:14] <ejer> rrittenhouse: what error are you getting?
[19:14] <avery_> my compiz wont start after I install this startup manager and change my startup logo
[19:14] <debaser_> usr13, ok i understand
[19:14] <WillOne> I don't know what that is :(
[19:15] <WillOne> I'm a real newbie.
[19:15] <rrittenhouse> ejer, If i try and install flash it just dosent "work"
[19:15] <adelie> Bruners: you still there?
[19:15] <usr13> debaser_: Linux will boot from slave or master.  MS Windows will only boot from master, (unless you have bios that will boot slave)
[19:15] <cosmodad> WillOne: unless already done, you should create another partition for swap space. And choose the big space for / as I said.
[19:15] <pyrops> usr13; apparantly i need to install GStream plugins
[19:15] <ejer> rrittenhouse: this is a known bug... what info are you using to fix it
[19:15] <kaz1nsky> are there any opensource drivers for ati cards better than the ati drivers?
[19:15] <pyrops> how might that be done?
[19:15] <debaser_> usr13, how do i find out if i have that kind of bios?
[19:15] <zkjellberg_> What can I do to maximize battery life on a laptop? Would using something like XFCE help conserve battery life?
[19:15] <Jockeo> What application do you recommend to burn CD's and DVD's?
[19:16] <cosmodad> WillOne: swap space is hard-disk space used for paging when running out of RAM. Windows does something similar but uses a file instead of an entire partition.
[19:16] <ejer> debaser_: you can boot windows from grub
[19:16] <bod_> ejer, but i want the loading bars
[19:16] <avery_> anybody have driver for v-gear webcam
[19:16] <cosmodad> WillOne: just create another partition and type it as swap space.
[19:16] <rrittenhouse> ejer, A friend of mine had to edit the postinst file under the control.tar.gz and edit the md5sums's etc but i cannot get the file back INTO the control.tar.gz
[19:16] <ejer> Jockeo: i like k3b
[19:16] <WillOne> Okay.
[19:16] <debaser_> ejer, even if windows is on the slave?
[19:16] <MeNoS> install java on PPC64 arch ?
[19:16] <ejer> rrittenhouse: i would not do it this way
[19:16] <ejer> debaser_: yes
[19:16] <cosmodad> WillOne: how much RAM do you have?
[19:16] <WillOne> 1024
[19:16] <ejer> rrittenhouse: gimme a sec
[19:17] <DRebellion> zkjellberg_: well, yes as it uses less cpu time than something bigger like GNOME or KDE
[19:17] <freepenguin> hello
[19:17] <rrittenhouse> ejer, Its just how my friend sitting here did it but the way he did it actually inserted the file back into the archive.. it wont work here
[19:17] <debaser_> ejer, i already have ubuntu install. so how do i configure grub to do that?
[19:17] <Jockeo> ejer: It works on Gnome as well? (Just thinking of the K in the name)
[19:17] <adelie> brunner: oops, mispell. you there?
[19:17] <ejer> Jockeo: all kde apps work in gnome
[19:17] <Jockeo> ejer: ok thx!
[19:17] <zkjellberg_> DrRebellion, Are there any debian distros which are lightweight for that purpose?

[19:19] <ejer> jlcarneiro_: dif font sizes/spacing?
[19:19] <jlcarneiro_> no.
[19:19] <jlcarneiro_> same text same fonts

[19:19] <ejer> poss
[19:19] <jlcarneiro_> It's set to A4 on all machines
[19:19] <brunner> no =/
[19:20] <usr13> jlcarneiro_: May be that you have paper size set wrong
[19:20]  * ejer bets on font differences
[19:20] <Pici> jlcarneiro_: or a4 ;), as long as its consistant.

[19:21] <bod_> ejer, play a file in totem and it will install gstreamer + extra plugins
[19:21] <ejer> bod_: only if that file uses a noninstalled codec
[19:21] <bastones> DRebellion: I can't update to the latest version as I havent got internet connection on my desktop as the wireless isn't working. I havent got any blank RW CDs... is there any other way to get the adapter working for my IC?
[19:21] <usr13> jlcarneiro_: Are you sure you are seeing same document on both machines?  (Look at file size and see if they are same.)
[19:21] <DRebellion> !minimal | zkjellberg_
[19:21] <ubotu> zkjellberg_: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want (the installer is like the one on the !Alternate CD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD
[19:21] <brunner> zkjellberg_: I would think that Ubuntu with powernowd (which comes by default) would be as good as any
[19:21] <bod_> ejer,  yer,.,. an flv does it fine
[19:21] <jlcarneiro_> ejer and Pici: I didn't change anything in the text. Just opened it... Could it be line spacing, fonts or page size?
[19:21] <ejer> zkjellberg: xfce
[19:21] <DRebellion> bastones: are you running gutsy (7.10)?

[19:22] <jlcarneiro_> usr13: lol lol, yeah, I'm looking at the same (pendrive)
[19:22] <brunner> zkjellberg_: never mind, list to ubotu
[19:22] <brunner> listen*
[19:22] <bastones> No, I am running Ubuntu 4.1 I believe. I realize it is incredibily out-dated but I will be updating but I need an IC to do that
[19:22] <bastones> (on my desktop)
[19:22] <ejer> wow
[19:23] <adelie> brunner: sorry, my name is evidently already registered. one sec
[19:23] <brobostigon> zkjellberg: try as distro with enlightenment, there pretty light too.
[19:23] <ejer> congrats bastones! you have oldest ubuntu install i know of :)
[19:23] <bastones> lol
[19:23] <brunner> adante: okay, just PM me when you've got it
[19:23] <ejer> testament to good packaging
[19:23] <usr13> jlcarneiro_: I have no idea, but you could email the document to me and I'll look at it for you, and see if there's something weird about it.  That's all I know to do.
[19:23] <ubuntu_> hi
[19:24] <ozdeb> can anyone here help with installing ipw2200 on debian etch ?
[19:24] <ubuntu_> i haven't been following linux developments for the past while
[19:24] <ubuntu_> how reliable has ntfs-3g gotten?
[19:24] <DRebellion> bastones: erm... i don't think anybody would be prepared to help you with your problems on such an old version, sorry. I recommend you buy some CD RWs and burn gutsy to a disk and install it.
[19:24] <DRebellion> ubuntu_: i think its pretty reliable now
[19:24] <jeffMASTERflex> ubuntu_: reliable enough to use at home without any issues. I don't recommend it in a sensitive work environment though
[19:25] <pyrops> ejer : it seems that they are installed, i tried re installing but nothing happend
[19:25] <ubuntu_> what about for use as /home ?
[19:25] <usr13> bastones: What is  your problem?
[19:25] <ubuntu_> where there would be a lot of RW, mainly for movies and such
[19:25] <ejer> pyrops: what is problem
[19:25] <jlcarneiro_> When I have ONLY cups-pdf on a machine does it use default page sizes?
[19:25] <npodges> what's the best VM for desktop use?
[19:25] <jlcarneiro_> Or should I install a standard printer too?
[19:25] <jeffMASTERflex> ubuntu_: i don't recommend using an ntfs partition as your /home
[19:25] <usr13> bastones: Are you trying to connect to a wired network?
[19:26] <DRebellion> usr13: wireless
[19:26] <ejer> npodges: vmware-player for sinple stuff, vmware server for multiple machines, virtualbox for testing or as alternative to vmware-player
[19:26] <usr13> What wireless card?
[19:26] <bastones> usr13: wireless. My only option is to take the desktop downstairs, apply ethernet/usb connection, connect and update
[19:26] <usr13> bastones: What wireless card?
[19:26] <bastones> then sort out the next problems then
[19:26] <pyrops> ejer:  my sound doesnt work. on the speaker sign there is a red "x". when i click it says that i can disactivate the sound or install the plugins !??!
[19:26] <bastones> usr13: sorry not sure what your 'onna about there
[19:26] <usr13> bastones: Is the wireless card drivers loaded for it?
[19:27] <ejer> pyrops: sounds like sound card is not being recognized... can you get any sound from comp?
[19:27] <bastones> don't think so, whatever you mean
[19:27] <usr13> bastones: what does   iwconfig   say?
[19:27] <caminomaster> hi
[19:27] <DRebellion> bastones: he's running 4.1. can't get wireless usb adapter to work. i told him to upgrade to 7.10 with a cd.
[19:27] <ejer> bastones: you will not get it working without updating IMO
[19:27] <pyrops> ejer: before i updated the version it worked perfectly
[19:27] <ejer> pyrops: what version
[19:27] <bod_> usr13, its a belkin F5D7050 he's havin probs with
[19:27] <bastones> ill connect wired and update it...
[19:28] <usr13> bastones: you would need fully supported wireless card.
[19:28] <ejer> that belkin stick works flawlessly in gutsy
[19:28] <caminomaster> i have an alcatel otc, I connected it through usb but it doesn't appear as storage device... what can i do?
[19:28] <pyrops> ejer: 7.10
[19:28] <usr13> bastones: good Idea
[19:28] <ejer> and i don't know if you can doa dist-upgrade from 4.1 > 7.1 :)
[19:28] <jlcarneiro_> Well, THANKS folks! I'll try to review my line spacing (although I'm pretty sure it hasn't changed)... :)
[19:28] <ejer> pyrops: looks like update may have broken sound
[19:28] <jeffMASTERflex> that upgrade will fail horribly
[19:28] <pyrops> ejer: is there a way to fix it?

[19:42] <adelie42> ejer: mp3 is a patented (I agree software patents are stupid, but they exist) meaning for a media player like an ipod to support mp3, it must pay a royalty. using an mp3 decoder in the US without paying the royalty is illegal in the US... but with most things, people are usually only sued when they use the decoder illegally in a commercial product, like an ipod

[19:49] <MrObvious> outsider12: Perhaps you have a NAT router preventing you from using TFTP and you'll have to forward the port to your Ubuntu box.

[19:50] <bod_> ejer, YAY!!!! EJER GETS A COOKIE!!!!!!
[19:50] <MrObvious> outsider12: IDK if TFTP will go outside of networks anyway. It might be blocked by your ISP and you may have to set up FTP.
[19:50] <ejer> sexy: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=124036 but he spelled quiet wrong
[19:50] <Nik0la0s> why mutt fails to send my mail?

[19:51] <Nik0la0s> ejer, is it simeple and straightforward?
[19:51] <crow_> how can i convert it to wma
[19:51] <brobostigon> Nik0la0s: i mean wikipedia
[19:51] <bastones> Hello... I have tried adding an ethernet & USB cable to connect to the internet with my Ubuntu desktop and it won

[19:52] <bastones> whoops
[19:52] <MrObvious> crow_: Convert OGG to WMA? I'm not sure. I've done MP3s before.
[19:52] <crow_> no
[19:52] <crow_> mp3 to wma
[19:52] <bastones> won't connect, I have tried adding an ethernet network but it keeps crashing when I activate it
[19:52] <ejer> crow_: I don't think you will be doing that with ubuntu tools
[19:52] <crow_> any hints :D
[19:52] <Nik0la0s> Mutt has mail-transport-agent as a dependency which means if you don't have a Mail Transport Agent installed on your system and you install Mutt an MTA will also be installed
[19:52] <outsider12> Mr. 0bvious - any reccomendations, its wierd that solarwinds tftp server works great, but on ubuntu it doesnt work
[19:52] <DRebellion> bastones: I *strongly* recommend you burn gutsy (7.10) to a cd and do a clean install onto your computer.
[19:52] <MrObvious> crow_: WMA isn't that great of a format anyway. MP3s work on everything so I'd just leave it alone.
[19:53] <ejer> crow_: that is a windows codec, and writing it will have to be done in windows IMO
[19:53] <MrObvious> outsider12: Read what the bot sends you for suggestions on your own FTP server:

[19:57] <noneo> Hi all. I have my friend's windows disk attached to my Linux box. He has MBR virus. How to remove it from Linux?
[19:57] <ejer> Nik0la0s: in that case you need to send the mail to their mail relay first
[19:57] <bastones> the thing I'm downloading from ubuntu.com is an .iso extsn, do I just burn it directly onto a CD or...?
[19:57] <Nik0la0s> ejer, how do you propose ill end a test mail then?
[19:58] <bod_> Nik0la0s, sudo apt-get install mailx && sudo apt-get install exim        to get the other things you need
[19:58] <ejer> Nik0la0s: send it internally first to make sure things work
[19:58] <Nik0la0s> ejer, internally toi what address?
[19:58] <ejer> then find out your ISP's mail relay, or set up exim to send via gmail smtp
[19:58] <bod_> Nik0la0s, to you!
[19:58] <Nik0la0s> what my mail address?
[19:59] <bod_> Nik0la0s, yes
[19:59] <ejer> Nik0la0s: to test internally you will need to be able to receive mail
[19:59] <Nik0la0s><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[19:59] <Nik0la0s> ?
[19:59] <ejer> ie you need a mail server like postfix
[19:59] <bod_> Nik0la0s, just send it to your email address
[19:59] <Nik0la0s> to gmail?
[19:59] <ejer> bod_: he needs something listening on port 25
[19:59] <Nik0la0s> nik@dell:~$ echo "Test" | mail -s "hello friend"<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[20:00] <bod_> ejer, this is way confusing,.,.set up thunderbird is my suggestion
[20:00] <Nik0la0s> bod check it out
[20:00] <Nik0la0s> did it came?
[20:00] <ejer> bod_: that is not a server
[20:00] <ejer> will not help at all
[20:00] <ejer> Nik0la0s: http://code.mogrify.org/2006/01/03/using-mutt-with-gmail/?year=2006&monthnum=01&day=03&name=using-mutt-with-gmail&page= look at SMTP command section
[20:00] <bod_> Nik0la0s, echo is a terminal command to print a word
[20:00] <Nik0la0s> bod did the mail came?
[20:01] <ejer> but this is slightly complex stuff... especially if his port is blocked
[20:01] <bod_> Nik0la0s, nope,.,. you need to set up pop to send and smtp to recieve
[20:01] <ejer> then nothing you send direct will go through
[20:01] <Nik0la0s> here is says this
[20:01] <ejer> smtp to send rather
[20:01] <lenov> connect #arad
[20:01] <Nik0la0s> Mutt has mail-transport-agent as a dependency which means if you don't have a Mail Transport Agent installed on your system and you install Mutt an MTA will also be installed
[20:01] <bod_> Nik0la0s, why dont you just use thunderbird/gmail/evolution?
[20:01] <Nik0la0s> i want from cli
[20:02] <MrObvious> hello everyone
[20:02] <ejer> bod_: how does that help
[20:02] <bod_> ejer,  cause then he can use email
[20:02] <Kibbles> anyone know why i lose icons in open office when i customize theme?
[20:02] <ejer> you still have to configure tbird to send/receive which is exact same settings for mutt
[20:02] <Nik0la0s> WHY CANT I SENT AN EMAIL?
[20:02] <ejer> mutt is a mail client just like tbird
[20:02] <MarcoPau> Hey I get this message in syslog when trying to print ERROR: Module ppdev does not exist in /proc/modules. In cups I get /usr/lib/cups/backend/mfp failed
[20:02] <bod_> ejer,  yer but thunderbird setup wizard does that in 1 page
[20:03] <Nik0la0s> how many houts do i ahev to keep trying?
[20:03] <ejer> Nik0la0s: cause your ports are blocked for last time :)
[20:03] <backz> how I add new locales to my ubuntu ?
[20:03] <Nik0la0s> ejer, how do you know?
[20:03] <jeffMASTERflex> bod_: dude, he wants to use a cli client.
[20:03] <DRebellion> !locale | backz
[20:03] <ubotu> backz: To set up and configure your locales, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf
[20:03] <ejer> bod_: ok... so he still has to have all settings, just enters them in GUI rather than CLI
[20:03] <bod_> jeffMASTERflex, oh,.,. right,.,. confused,.sorry
[20:03] <ejer> Nik0la0s: my best guess based on some years troubleshooting ;)
[20:04] <Nik0la0s> ejer, my ports are blocked?
[20:04] <Nik0la0s> i allow all outgoing traffic
[20:04] <Nik0la0s> through the router
[20:04] <ejer> look at your ISPs service info
[20:04] <ejer> it is not your side, it is your internet provider
[20:04] <Nik0la0s> ejer, its not irc problem
[20:04] <Nik0la0s> its soemthign with ubuntu

[20:04] <jamiejackson> why does nautilus have such a hard time opening a folder sometimes, when i can browse through it via CLI just fine? (this is an smbmounted resource that i'm talking about, this time). btw, konqueror loads it up right away. also, this is not an isolated incident. seems to happen all the time. (gutsy)
[20:04] <Nik0la0s> ejer, its not that

[20:05] <ejer> ok Nik0la0s!
[20:05] <Kibbles> Nik0la0s: i doubt it's your ports, actually. which ubuntu are you running, and did you just install?
[20:05] <DRebellion> jamiejackson: by "hard time" do you mean slow? or does it error out?
[20:05] <Nik0la0s> Kibbles, Hardy
[20:05] <adelie42> jamiejackson: i've had the same "problem" nautilus is really slow at times for no particular reason
[20:05] <bod_> Nik0la0s, hardy is only in alpha
[20:05] <ejer> very simple test, try and telnet to port 25 somewhere, this is not brain surgery hehe
[20:05] <Nik0la0s> i know but that not the problem here!
[20:06] <jamiejackson> DRebellion: i'll let you know. i'm going to try opening it now... (i haven't had the patience to let it sit yet)
[20:06] <jeffMASTERflex> Nik0la0s:  you need to hit up ubntu+1 or something. hardy is alpha
[20:06] <Nik0la0s> nik@dell:~$ telnet www.libver.gr 25
[20:06] <Nik0la0s> Trying <IP_ADDRESS>...

[20:12] <astro76> henri1: mostly historical, except some systems like windows demand to be primary

[20:26] <mcquaid> there is just an image to make restore cds.  anyway I read there is an issue that vista will no longer boot once setting up ubuntu to dual boot

[20:38] <jeffMASTERflex> punkshui: if that's the case, you can clear the partiotion table, copy the ghost image over, then restore the MBR with a Windows install disk
[20:38] <ejer> jeffMASTERflex: but that image probably is only system partition, not the hidden ones

[20:55] <StyXman> hi all. if I dist-upgrade from, say, feisty to gutsy, what happens to modified config files? and if I do it by hand, with aptitude? does it ask for overwrite/keep/diff help?
[20:55] <arrrghhh> chuy_max: do you know when they're going to update the repos?  i'd prefer to update it via a more "offical" route i guess

[20:55] <ejer> teadaze: go to terminal with ALT-CTRL-F1 and type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[20:55] <StyXman> teadaze: make the bios boot from the cd, but you can recover your current installation fixing the xorg.conf
[20:56] <ejer> StyXman: it is intelligent about this and will ask
[20:56] <Flare183> StyXman: oops
[20:56] <bascule> xeer: as an indication that you need a better text editor
[20:56] <jeffMASTERflex> xeer: correction, why does gedit fail so miserably.
[20:56] <shift> ejer, first 2 times i tried to run update through GUI, which ended up freezing towards the end. then after that i ran it through Terminal and it seemed to be working fine but then the "N" key was being pressed sum how? every text box i would click on it would keep typing "nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn" by itself.

[21:03] <rinaldi_> pangelovs: make sure its not just the ppc version as the ps3 versioin has packages specially for ps3 hardware
[21:03] <astro76> pangelovs: you need the powerpc version

[21:04] <Rei-chan> package destar. I know nothing of python, all I know is running destar after installation spits out a lot of python which looks like errors, then fails.

[21:04] <Meronik> is there a special channel for wine?
[21:04] <pangelovs> alright, ill try tomorrow

[21:09] <Flare183> quit it people
[21:09] <brittany> ejer: no i havent i just remember there being a fix in the forums somewhere but i cant seem to find it
[21:09] <yMaS>  i just said that i was new to ubuntu
[21:09] <shift> ejer, did u get a chance to look at it?
[21:09] <ejer> brittany: IMO flash should work on 32bit gutsy
[21:09] <Flare183> yMaS: i can understand that just please don't get smart, I said please....
[21:09] <ejer> shift: don't see a problem here
[21:10] <jeffMASTERflex> yMaS: what is the problem you need assistance with?
[21:10] <Kibbles> Flare183: it appears that i'm spamming 'cause i have a sporadic lag problem
[21:10] <brittany> ejer: well it doesnt
[21:10] <Kibbles> bascule: that doesn't change anything
[21:10] <yMaS> jeffmasterflex , now this is what i wanted to hear
[21:10] <shift> ejer, lol well thats good, and just like brittany im having trouble with flash too.
[21:10] <brittany> ejer: i had the same problem with another system, someone gave me a fix they found on the forums and it worked great
[21:10] <iostat> Is there a way to repartition a drive, essecially extend it, while it is mouted?
[21:10] <yMaS> jeff , do u know alot about pcc64 arch ?
[21:10] <NemesisD> anyone know how i'd log in a computer with xmdmp or whatever the heck it's called?
[21:10] <ejer> brittany: when you try to install flash does the install error?
[21:11] <brittany> anyone know where the flash fix is in ubuntu forums
[21:11] <brittany> ejer: nope
[21:11] <neopsyche> Seems stream 0 codec frame rate differs from container frame rate: 300.00 (600/2) -> 15.00 (15/1)
[21:11] <neopsyche> ???
[21:11] <Flare183> !flash | brittany
[21:11] <th0r> NemesisD shouldn't use xdmp as it is insecure...use ssh -X (X forwarding)
[21:11] <ubotu> brittany: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[21:11] <jeffMASTERflex> yMaS: not at all, but maybe someone does. ask your question and maybe someone here can help you out
[21:11] <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.
[21:11] <Purcelly> Quick question, if I install ubuntu from the CD can I uninstall it later back to windows if I am not happy?
[21:11] <ejer> brittany: are you sure? it should fail with md5sum mismatch if it is the same bug
[21:11] <Kibbles> flash is unbroken?!?!
[21:11] <pearlbear> ejer: http://pearlbear.pastebin.com/m12dfe0a0
[21:12] <ejer> brittany: but it does not pop an error, it says it in the terminal
[21:12] <Flare183> Purcelly: depeads on if the cd wiped everything or not
[21:12] <brittany> ejer: which method of install?
[21:12] <shift> brittany, someone gave me the link to the fix earlier, so i know its there.
[21:12] <Flare183> Kibbles: dude it's broken now
[21:12] <shift> brittany, search the forums.. im sure it'll come up.
[21:12] <neopsyche> Purcelly: why would you want to uninstall it? then you would just be unhappy again ;-)
[21:12] <Kibbles> Flare183: damit

[21:12] <CercoLamore> is ubuntu buggy?

[21:12] <Kibbles> Flare183: got my hopes up
[21:12] <Flare183> neopsyche: that's right
[21:13] <brittany> shift: thanks
[21:13] <neopsyche> CercoLamore: I dont think ubuntu is as buggy as windows
[21:13] <Purcelly> So if the CD wipes everything I can't return to Windows?
[21:13] <ejer> "but it's recommended to wait for an official fix" <- it has been since dec 2nd!
[21:13] <jeffMASTERflex> CercoLamore: it's software. all software, with the exception of emacs and vim, is buggy
[21:13] <ompaul> CercoLamore, 99.9999% of the time it is not - so what is the actual question
[21:13] <shift> brittany, np
[21:13] <yMaS> hmm well with Flare183 and ikonia talking nonsense and giving people warning for their so called *attitude and misbehaving* in this channel i don't think everybdy will be getting their questions answered
[21:13] <neopsyche> Purcelly: if your windows is gone.. then yes? what kind of a question is that?
[21:13] <shift> ejer, is the flash bug also not letting youtube work properly?
[21:13] <koojoo>  does anyone know if it is possible for me to change from my MBR partition style to GUID using gparted or some other software that could even fit on a disk??  ( i dont have an OS currently and i have a copy of acronis disk director, paragon partition mgr, and gparted ) but i cannot find how to switch to GUID
[21:13] <bod_> Hi guys,. i seem to remember reading somewhere that you can have a backround picture for grub,. is this true? if so, how?
[21:14] <neopsyche> Purcelly: best option.. install ubuntu on 2nd pc.
[21:14] <ejer> shift: all flash is broken if it is same bug
[21:14] <brittany> shift: it tells me i need to log in, crap forgot my user lol
[21:14] <jeffMASTERflex> yMaS: idle banter like that is the problem. if you want to complain about the mods, hit the #ubuntu-offtopic. if you want any chance of your problem being solved, just ask
[21:14] <Purcelly> K cheers
[21:14] <yMaS> thanks jeff
[21:15] <neopsyche> Purcelly: otherwise .. backup all your improtant data.. then do a dual install or fresh install. NB ubuntu probably wont satisfy you if you are into games.. but otherwise there are probably equivelants for most average office applications for the average office user.
[21:15] <Kibbles> still hoping someone has experienced dissapearing icons in open office
[21:15] <ejer> bod_: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=30341

[21:15] <neopsyche> Purcelly: no offense .. yes .. your windows is not able to be restored .. if it is gone.
[21:15] <jeffMASTERflex> Kibbles: it seems your alone in this respect. when i changed icon themes, openoffice kept the original human theme
[21:15] <bod_> ejer,  you agian,. damn you and your amazing knowledge of ubuntu forums,.,.lol,.,. cheers dudde ,.,.,.,.;)

[21:20] <neopsyche> ejer: so what must i set it to to make it work?
[21:21] <ejer> shift: so my info will not work for you, that forum thread " 32-bit packages: The Ubuntu 7.10 package is available here. Just download the package for your release, double-click the file, and install the package. For other releases, download this zip file and double-click the corresponding file to your release."
[21:21] <ejer> neopsyche: depends on input framerate
[21:21] <ejer> probably -r 15 on input file
[21:21] <[Scooter]> neopsyche: you might want to define a tv standard as well

[21:22] <shift> ejer, sorry but where can i get the packages, and are you talking about update packages or flash?
[21:22] <ejer> shift: that line was from forum post you linked to just before, download his package, double click it and go

[21:23] <ejer> shift: http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=53648&stc=1&d=1198033466 is the fixed flash package apparently

[21:23] <fevel> hey guys
[21:23] <neopsyche> [Scooter]: strange.. 300 apparently!?
[21:24] <ejer> neopsyche: it is not easy to convert qt
[21:24] <jeffMASTERflex> Kibbles: yup, that's where programs store their user-specific settings

[21:25] <shift> ejer, okay im downloading the package, should i just click to install it?
[21:26] <neopsyche> [Scooter]: Apple QuickTime movie (fast start, compressed header)
[21:26] <erUSUL> x-X-x: you did what!!!! o.O what folders have you deleted? not /usr/bin/ i hope....
[21:26] <[Scooter]> neopsyche: then you've got bigger problems, because the FPS can never be greater than 30.  29.97 is the next step down.
[21:26] <Kibbles> is there any way to run bash scripts under windows?
[21:26] <ejer> neopsyche: try running mplayer -identify
[21:26] <[Scooter]> Kibbles: yes
[21:26] <bascule> Kibbles: cygwin
[21:26] <ejer> shift: double click should do it
[21:26] <shift> ejer,  it says "An older verison is available in a software channel... Generally you are recommended to isntall the verison from the software channel, since it isi usually better supported"
[21:27] <Kibbles> thanks. i think i'm going back to windows :(
