[12:01] <randomwalker> dell inspiron 640m aka 1400
[12:01] <d_> i've tried apt-get install yast but doesn't work :)
[12:01] <d_> doesn't find it...
[12:01] <stefg> d_ : wrong distro ... #suse is next door :-)
[12:01] <nickrud> rlfol
[12:01] <aro> randomwalker, one sec
[12:01] <d_> uhm
[12:01] <gglser> funkyhat: it says: Couldnt find Trash
[12:01] <funkyHat> hacked_kernel, because it deletes everything inside the object you specify, so if you accidentally type the wrong thing you could destroy your system... it's only as dangerous as the person that's typing
[12:01] <sonictwin> dyrne: ahhh its on /dev/sda2
[12:01] <d_> stefg:  i'm using ubuntu feisty
[12:01] <thor> @gg in nautilius type ctrl H
[12:01] <thor> that will show ur trash
[12:02] <danlock2> Hacked_kernel: lets say that you're in the home folder or any folder for that matter, and you run rm -rf */* it'll prolly nuke everything below you.
[12:02] <funkyHat> gglser, /home/username/.Trash (the . is important)
[12:02] <erUSUL> seesul: no problem
[12:02] <thor> its in ur home directory
[12:02] <xelados> hacked_kernel: 'rm' gets rid of files. Deletes them permanently, right? the -r flag tells it to delete that folder _and everything that's in it_. The -f flag means 'force', which obviously means that it should ignore any errors and delete files anyway.
[12:02] <hermanandpauline> ok to rationalise my question - evolution and gaim dont recognise a net connection but firefox and this does, i use 3rd party driver
[12:02] <xelados> If you did something like 'rm -rf ~', your entire home directory would be gone.
[12:02] <gglser> funkyhat: sorry for the stupid questions! and thanks for the help
[12:02] <d_> uff
[12:03] <siloko> talking about dangerous commands I turned my root into a swap partition when not paying attention !!
[12:03] <jacque1> hi everyone.  i'm back again.  i rebooted my machine and I still don't have sound.  I
[12:03] <xelados> Actually, I have a funny story to relate when it comes to rm.
[12:03] <wimdows> how do I install the kernel source? do I need to extract the source bz2 archive?
[12:03] <xelados> I installed a second instance of linux on Ubuntu.
[12:03] <xelados> chroot or something
[12:03] <ab__> cello_rasp I only have 2 laptops connected by wireless... cannot test other connection. It works locally though
[12:03] <hacked_kernel> funkyHat: what if I miss typed rmdir ~/*  instead of ~/abc  it wil also deletes everything inside my home dir
[12:03] <xelados> I thought I was in the chroot and wanted to get rid of it, so I did an rm -rf /
[12:03] <xelados> Ended up breaking my entire system!
[12:03] <jacque1> I found out that for some reason the GUI in ubuntu doesn't show the group "audio" as existing.  hence, I thought it was gone.
[12:03] <Gerro> seesul: think there is a way to have celestia output the constellations currently above your location as your desktop background.
[12:04] <d_> hello...does anybody know how to make working sound card (HDA ATI SB) with ubuntu feisty? must I install Yast? i can't find it..
[12:04] <sercik> hi
[12:04] <funkyHat> hacked_kernel, no because rmdir won't delete a directory unless it's empty
[12:04] <thor> i did a chmod 777 -R
[12:04] <bthornton> Where is the bash prompt style defined?  (i.e. instead of just "-bash-3.00#", I want it to be "[user@host directory] ")
[12:04] <thor> wiped out sudo priviledges
[12:04] <BigToe> Why doesn't Ubuntu Server recognise my HP Deskjet 5440?
[12:04] <stefg> hermanandpauline: you do not semm to be connected through a router... i'd try to 'sudo apt-get remove avahi daemon network-manager'. avahi has some strange behaviour on pppoe networks
[12:04] <xelados> funkyHat: Why does it insist on it being empty to delete? :\
[12:04] <cello_rasp>  ab__ its usually a network issue if it works locally.
[12:04] <danlock2> bthornton: your hostname prolly?
[12:04] <Gerro> d_: ubuntu is debian based so uses .deb instead of .rpm files so no yast, use synaptic or dpkg
[12:04] <xelados> That always bugged me about rmdir
[12:04] <xelados> Makes it kinda useless.
[12:05] <danlock2> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rm_%28Unix%29 talks about rm -rf
[12:05] <jacque1> !audio
[12:05] <ab__> cello_rasp thanks, I'll check that
[12:05] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[12:05] <d_> Gerro: sorry, i'm newbie and i didn't know Yast was something like aptitude but for suse :S
[12:05] <dyrne> bthornton: google some .bashrc prompt examples
[12:05] <d_> ubotu i look for it..thank you
[12:05] <gortba> Hi. Is there a command that shows the hardware profile?
[12:06] <thor> sysinfo
[12:06] <thor> @gortba sysinfo
[12:06] <funkyHat> xelados, you can use --ignore-fail-on-non-empty .... but I find rm -r works just as well and is quicker to type ;)
[12:06] <BigToe> Why doesn't Ubuntu Server recognise my HP Deskjet 5440? I plug it in and have installed loads of different packages, but it's not printing and this is really annoying.
[12:06] <gortba> ok thanks.
[12:06] <hacked_kernel> funkyHat: thats means if I want to delete a dir and everything under it, to open each dir to delete all files in that dir before I delete the parent dir
[12:06] <d3t> helo free world
[12:06] <nickrud> gortba, also lshw and dmidecode from the command line, all you want and more than you'd think
[12:06] <dyrne> BigToe: i hate troubleshooting printer using the gnome gui tool.
[12:06] <dyrne> !cups > BigToe
[12:07] <BigToe> dyrne, I said ubuntu server.
[12:07] <funkyHat> hacked_kernel, if you want to delete a directory, look at it in Nautilus and click delete ;-)
[12:07] <aro> randomwalker, sorry I took so long, I was frantically searching for a solution but I have failed in that department. The only thing I can suggest is to google your model of laptop, or video card, or monitor type with common keywords. Or wait for someone else who can help you that would know the answer ;(
[12:07] <seesul> Gerro: sounds very cool, my child loves the stars and I had a lot of software running in windows for astronomy, could even connect tele to laptop. It is one of the mainreason why I have been holding back from making the switch completely
[12:07] <BigToe> If I had a GUI I probably would have fixed this by now, dyrne.
[12:07] <xelados> funkyHat: Yeah, no kidding.
[12:07] <wimdows> where can I find the kernel source?
[12:07] <danlock2> funkyHat: i don't use a gui ;-).
[12:07] <BigToe> But instead I have SSH. :S
[12:07] <danlock2> !print
[12:07] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[12:07] <randomwalker> aro: thanks for your help
[12:08] <BigToe> danlock2, that's no help
[12:08] <danlock2> why?
[12:08] <BigToe> most of the stuff there is aimed at GUI users.
[12:08] <randomwalker> aro: i wasted a lot of time trying to increase the screen resolution in my current machine (which has an nvidia card) and ran into exactly the same problem
[12:08] <danlock2> ah, okay.
[12:08] <nickrud> BigToe, try pointing you web browser at :631 on the remote host
[12:08] <Dracula}X{> Does anyone know how to share internet over firewire in ubuntu?
[12:08] <funkyHat> hacked_kernel, there's nothing WRONG with using rm with options like r and f, all I was saying is it can be dangerous, as long as you make sure you type the right thing you'll be fine ;)
[12:08] <randomwalker> aro: i don't want to waste time again, so i'm just going to use vista until it works by default in perhaps a future ubuntu release
[12:09] <hacked_kernel> funkyHat: by the way I deleted a whole partition by mistake using rm -r-f :)
[12:09] <d_> sorry...must I use alsa..oss or what to make my sound card working ?
[12:09] <Wiseguy> hey guys i just installed an app that put a shorcut in my menu automatically when i installed it in 6.10, but in 7.04 it doesnt place one... is there someway i maybe need to refresh the menu?
[12:09] <funkyHat> hacked_kernel, ouch
[12:09] <aro> randomwalker, I can also suggest researching "915resolution" fix
[12:09] <dyrne> Wiseguy: you can pkill gnome-panel
[12:09] <jacque1> can anyone tell me what /proc/asound/oss/sndstat tells me?  I have a soundblaster but this log says "SigmaTel" which is the disabled on-board soundcard.
[12:10] <BigToe> nickrud, thank you thank you thank you!
[12:10] <aro> randomwalker, though it sounds pretty hit or miss from what I'm reading
[12:10] <randomwalker> aro: thanks.. perhaps when i have more time
[12:10] <BigToe> I found the printer, and pressed add, and it added the printer!
[12:10] <nickrud> BigToe, yw.
[12:10] <funkyHat> d_, ALSA is the linux sound system... you don't have much choice I'm afraid
[12:10] <d_> nice..doesn't work..uff
[12:10] <gortba> ok. lshw and sysinfo didn't work. I'll be more specific--I'm trying to see if my soundcard is working. How can I do this?
[12:10] <dsmith_> Interesting   http://rjdohnert.wordpress.com/2007/04/01/dell-linux-first-look/
[12:10] <funkyHat> d_, what soundcard do you have?
[12:10] <d_> uhm
[12:11] <d_> it's onboard
[12:11] <d_> on my laptop
[12:11] <gortba> It's a soundblaster
[12:11] <d_> wait i can tell you exactly which model..
[12:11] <foomanchew> how do I allow anymous users to access a samba share on a linux server ?
[12:11] <d_> (my laptop is acer ferrari 1000)
[12:11] <funkyHat> gortba, cat /proc/asound/cards
[12:11] <LjL> !kernel > wimdows    (wimdows, see the private message from Ubotu)
[12:11] <foomanchew> that is they do not have to use an account to authenticate ?
[12:11] <gglser> anyone here know how TeX can be used with Ubuntu? wouldnt want to go back to windows just for TeX
[12:11] <gortba> funkyHat: Trying that now.
[12:11] <jacque1> funkhat, what does this file tell me?  see my question above...
[12:12] <dyrne> gglser: what is TeX?
[12:12] <polm> How can I install Edgy to my RAID ? I've setup the stripe in BIOS, but Edgy only offers the individual drives for installation.
[12:12] <LjL> gglser: well no, for something like TeX you'd definitely need windows.
[12:12] <nickrud> gglser, install tetex, and or latex
[12:12] <LjL> (gglser, kidding.)
[12:12] <thor> you could try it under WINE
[12:12] <Ikonia> polm: fake raid -is not a great idea, software raid would be better
[12:12] <gglser> LjL: lol
[12:12] <polm> Ikonia: can I install to a software raid?
[12:12] <LjL> gglser, what's the problem with getting TeX running?
[12:12] <Ikonia> polm: I think you have to use the alternate cd
[12:13] <gglser> nickcrud: hmm I just read some posts and they all said it doesnt work well
[12:13] <polm> Ikonia: alternate cd?
[12:13] <gglser> LjL: still have to try
[12:13] <funkyHat> jacque1, no idea... sorry :/ looks like it's what bits of OSS emulation you have set up though
[12:13] <wimdows> cheers Ljl - figured out you just have to extract the Bzip2 archive yourself after apt-get install linux-source
[12:13] <Ikonia> polm: yes, there is a desktop cd, a server cd and an alternate cd
[12:13] <funkyHat> d_, can you run cat /proc/asound/cards please
[12:13] <polm> Ikonia: ahhh..gotcha.
[12:13] <gortba> funkyHat: I did what you said but I'm not sure what I'm looking at.
[12:13] <nickrud> gglser, I haven't used it ever on ubuntu, so ....
[12:13] <gglser> LjL: wanted to see if anyone had suggestions with what was better to isntall
[12:13] <d_> yes wait
[12:13] <gglser> nickcrud: k thanks!
[12:13] <logixoul> hi. can anyone help with http://rafb.net/p/B04YKq18.html ? I'm in the Kubuntu LiveCD right now.
[12:13] <d_> funkyHat: root@next:/proc#  cat /proc/asound/cards
[12:13] <d_>  0 [SB             ] : HDA-Intel - HDA ATI SB
[12:13] <d_>                       HDA ATI SB at 0xb0000000 irq 17
[12:14] <funkyHat> gortba, you should be looking at a list of the soundcards in your computer
[12:14] <gglser> LjL: on the latex website it says: Your system distribution or vendor has probably provided a TeX system including LaTeX.  Any one know of a place where I can check/read any reviews?
[12:15] <d_> funkyHat: volume is up..but can't hear anything...in "sound preferences" if I click Test..can't hear anything too...
[12:15] <funkyHat> d_, ok so the soundcard is being picked up by ALSA... it could be that there's another volume control you need to change
[12:16] <d_> o_O
[12:16] <d_> how many volumes? :D
[12:16] <funkyHat> d_ in the volume control window go to preferences and tick all the boxes
[12:16] <jacque1> d_, have you ever had your sound working properly?
[12:16] <LjL> gglser, the basic package is tetex-bin i think. not a heavy tex user at all here
[12:16] <funkyHat> d_ well probably just master/front and PCM are the ones you need to worry about
[12:16] <f0rtune> im having a problem, im trying to make a bootable CD of xubuntu, but when i use the CD/DVD creator, it askes me to 'Create From Image' or 'Create with file', when i click 'Create from Image', nothing happens, anyone know why?
[12:16] <d_> jacque1: with windows yes...with ubuntu no
[12:16] <gglser> LjL: allright
[12:17] <funkyHat> gortba, yeah it should show the internal sound card too, unless you've disabled it in your bios config
[12:17] <d_> funkyHat: i've just used gnome-mixer and picked up ALL VOLUMES...but doesn't work o_O
[12:17] <jacque1> d_, ok - thanks.  I am having sound problems - but mine just started 2 days ago.  thought it may have been related.
[12:17] <nickrud> f0rtune, just right click the iso file, and select burn
[12:17] <cbs> whats the best Nvidia driver to use with feisty?
[12:18] <f0rtune> nickrud: will it burn it as a file or an image?
[12:18] <nickrud> f0rtune, as an image
[12:18] <dyrne> cbs: nvidia-glx should be pretty up to date
[12:18] <f0rtune> nickrud: ok thanks
[12:18] <gortba> funkyHat: Can you please look at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/20421/ and tell me if my Sound Blaster is working?
[12:18] <funkyHat> cbs I'd go with the drivers you get from the nvidia-glx package
[12:18] <nickrud> f0rtune, gnome does some things too simply ;)
[12:18] <cbs> dyrne: is there anything better?
[12:19] <funkyHat> gortba, which sound blaster is it?
[12:19] <void^_> cbs: nvidia-glx-new for cards newer than gf4
[12:19] <gortba> funkyHat: The only info I have is a booklet. Do you mean 16 PCI
[12:20] <cbs> so apt-get install nvidia-glx-new?
[12:20] <f0rtune> so i read that Dell is going to make computers that have Ubuntu pre-installed, is that true, and if it is, when will they hit US shelves?
[12:20] <funkyHat> gortba, it's a Soundblaster 16 PCI?
[12:20] <gortba> yes funkyHat
[12:20] <demon_spork> is anybody here familiar with the Beryl-Project site Wiki?
[12:21] <funkyHat> gortba, cool ;-). I have an ISA one of them somewhere.
[12:21] <Jowi> f0rtune, seems like it's true. but that discussion is better to have in #ubuntu-offtopic (non-support questions and general chat)
[12:21] <d_> uhm...can anybody help me with my sound card?
[12:21] <funkyHat> gortba, I think the SiS card is your soundblaster
[12:21] <demon_spork> is anybody here familiar with the Beryl-Project site Wiki? I need to revert an article back to another revision due to sabotage, and I need the instructions that someone deleted, but I can't figure out how to do it
[12:21] <logixoul> demon_spork: ask in #beryl
[12:21] <gortba> funkyHat: Ok good--so it should be working then right?
[12:21] <demon_spork> thx
[12:21] <funkyHat> gortba, yep
[12:22] <demon_spork> how do I register on freenode?
[12:22] <demon_spork> I need to in order to join #beryl
[12:22] <kitche> !register | demon_spork

[12:22] <cbs> unable to initialize frontend: dialog
[12:22] <gortba> funkyHat: Then I don't know what to do because I don't get any sound at all from my computer.

[12:23] <slvmchn> oh whoops demon_spork i'm so sorry, i thought i was in a different chan!
[12:23] <d_> funkyHat: do you think is ok if i change volume by gnome-mixer ?
[12:23] <slvmchn> my bad
[12:23] <logixoul> Can anyone help me with http://rafb.net/p/B04YKq18.html ? I'm in the Kubuntu LiveCD right now. Pretty please :)
[12:23] <d_> or must I use other mixer in my ubuntu ?
[12:24] <funkyHat> d_ either should be fine
[12:24] <d_> uhm..
[12:24] <makuseru> hi, i have a problem, i had a HP DVD writer and ive tried diffrent programs and diffrent brands of dvds, but it never burns one correctly, i always get errors, someone said K3B had a problem with HP writers, but ive tried more than just k3b, i dont need anything special for hp writers do i?
[12:24] <d_> so my problem is not for volume...but for sound card..probably i must install audio drivers... :(
[12:24] <LjL> !tex > gglser    (gglser, see the private message from Ubotu)
[12:24] <nickrud> tinin, where'd you get that package, it's not in my lists
[12:24] <funkyHat> d_ did you look in preferences and tick all the other boxes for other controls?
[12:25] <gglser> LjL: wow thanks
[12:25] <tinin> nickrud, its a contability program
[12:25] <nootrope> I'm trying to install 7.04 and when I click the Install shortcut on the Live desktop, it tries to load an administrative app but then it closes it shortly thereafter and the supposed installation disappears.
[12:25] <d_> funkyHat: i can't understand what you mean to tick...
[12:25] <navets> can somebody help me set up s-video on ubuntu
[12:25] <d_> on devices ?
[12:25] <nickrud> tinin, but where's it from? how'd you install it?
[12:26] <funkyHat> d_ in the volume control window, click edit > preferences
[12:26] <funkyHat> d_ then you'll have a list of tracks
[12:26] <jrib> navets: nvidia?
[12:26] <odat> what is the terminal command to discover your internal ip address from your router?
[12:26] <d_> hem..i use mixer by terminal so i don't have edit..preferences... oo_O
[12:26] <funkyHat> d_ stupid question ;-) is there a volume control knob somewhere on your laptop?
[12:26] <tinin> nickrud from packages avaliable at a spanish linux project, based on ubuntu, i think (well, i needed them, but i could not get it to work)
[12:26] <d_> i can't find volume control in menu :)
[12:26] <navets> jrib: no its a intel onboard graphics card
[12:27] <nootrope> odat: ifconfig -a
[12:27] <nickrud> tinin, so how'd you install them?
[12:27] <d_> funkyHat: yes...and it's at max
[12:27] <d_> :)
[12:27] <darkstrikerd> can i use beryl with intel onboard?
[12:27] <funkyHat> d_ ah sorry, I meant if you right click on the volume icon next to the clock, then click open volume control
[12:27] <jrib> navets: hmm, don't know about those
[12:27] <d_> ah ok wait sorry
[12:27] <navets> jribk thx
[12:27] <funkyHat> darkstrikerd, I think so
[12:28] <funkyHat> Oh err...
[12:28] <funkyHat> Actually I don't know if they do AIGLX...
[12:28] <funkyHat> So you might have to use Xgl
[12:28] <d_> funkyHat: ok..it's all ticked...and all UP...
[12:28] <d_> but doesn't work...
[12:28] <tinin> It tells me this when i do "sudo aptitude purge nominalinex" ---> Making a copy of your BBDD in /root... --- /var/lib/dpkg/info/nominalinex.postrm: line 41: /etc/init.d/mysql: it does not exist          dpkg: error al procesar nominalinex (--purge):          error 127
[12:28] <funkyHat> :(
[12:28] <cox37777> has anyone ever had a grup 18 error?
[12:28] <nickrud> tinin, if you'd put your error up on paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[12:29] <Jowi> darkstrikerd, depends on the chipset of your video card. I use it fine with a 945GM
[12:29] <tinin> nickrud Thats all
[12:29] <chrisjs169|brb> i accidentally disabled the login manager, how can i reenable it?
[12:29] <dyrne> chrisjs169|brb: depends. what did you do?
[12:29] <funkyHat> d_ if you click File > Change Device you can't see any other devices to the one you've selected can you?
[12:29] <d_> i have 2 devices..
[12:29] <d_> alsa and oss
[12:29] <darkstrikerd> Jowi: funkyHat: thanks
[12:29] <d_> i use alsa...but with oss doesn't work too :(
[12:29] <funkyHat> ok that's not it then :(
[12:30] <OD_Jonno> anyone know anything about installing Wubi?
[12:30] <AndyC2> hi
[12:30] <tinin> nickrud I think it's trying to make a copy of a database or so, but i also uninstalled mysql yet
[12:30] <chrisjs169|brb> dyrne: well, actually it was my friend that did it....I believe they unchecked 'Graphical Login Manager' in the controls
[12:30] <AndyC2> im having an issue with device icons
[12:30] <OD_Jonno> anyone?
[12:30] <AndyC2> my usb stick icon is the normal hard drive, not the removable one
[12:30] <nickrud> tinin, ah, it's looking for mysql to turn it restart it, probably. A silly fix would be to install mysql, uninstall the package, then uninstall mysql. And file a bug
[12:30] <tinin> and i can't even upgrade anything
[12:30] <funkyHat> Anyone - is pulseaudio installed by default in Feisty?
[12:30] <Yggdrasil> chrisjs169|btb you talking about gdm ?
[12:30] <Jowi> darkstrikerd, use aiglx instead of xgl though (just add the composite option to your xorg.conf if you use egdy or later (haven't installed feisty yet))
[12:31] <chrisjs169|brb> Yggdrasil: yeah
[12:31] <tinin> nickrud thanx i'll try that way
[12:31] <Yggdrasil> hmm.. try sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[12:31] <Yggdrasil> ?
[12:31] <nathan_> Anyone know howto do a animated wallpaper?
[12:31] <funkyHat> d_ checked all the mute buttons too?
[12:31] <andreas_> Hi. How do I enable SLAB? I have just installed it via automatix2
[12:31] <nickrud> tinin, put /var/lib/dpkg/info/dominalinex.postrm on paste-nl.org
[12:31] <d_> funkyHat: i have 2 devices..one is HDA ATI SB (ALSA) and the other is CONEXANT ID 2BFA (OSS)
[12:31] <Xen_> hello all
[12:31] <OD_Jonno> can ANYONE help me with installing Wubi?
[12:31] <d_> funkyHat: no mute buttons activated... :(
[12:31] <tinin> but i don't like that program to write at root
[12:31] <LjL> !automatix > andreas_    (andreas_, see the private message from Ubotu)
[12:31] <nickrud> tinin, probably only need to comment out a couple of lines
[12:31] <funkyHat> d_ the OSS one is your modem
[12:31] <Jowi> darkstrikerd, ...and I have to add that I only have 512MB ram and the integrated intel chip use shared ram and it flies :)
[12:32] <d_> mm
[12:32] <tinin> nickrud ok
[12:32] <lbawinowns> Hi guys, Anyone know how to set Thunderbird as main email-program?
[12:32] <chrisjs169|brb> Yggdrasil: I believe I tried that a few times....even went as far as removing and purging gdm, ubuntu-desktop, and xserver-xorg (and reinstalling all of them)
[12:32] <d_> funkyHat: boh :( i will look better tomorrow so now i can to sleep...at the moment...thank you... ;(
[12:32] <andreas_> !worksfor me

[12:33] <paozinho> someone know how to "pilot" Avidemux ??? Im with a Error =/
[12:34] <wimdows> does anyone here have a RocketRaid card?
[12:34] <chrisjs169|brb> Yggdrasil: says the X server is already active...hold on
[12:34] <Jowi> darkstrikerd, if you use edgy it should be as simple as to enable the composite option and press ctrl-alt-backspace to restart the x server.

[12:36] <darkstrikerd> paozinho: what error?
[12:36] <Bidash> do i have x windows after installing ubuntu?
[12:37] <Bidash> X-Windows
[12:37] <Yggdrasil> oh that makes me really want beryl
[12:37] <funkyHat> jacque1, 'use external amplifier' switch
[12:37] <kitche> Bidash: yes if you installed
[12:37] <jacque1> oh ok..
[12:37] <darkstrikerd> nathan_: animated wallpaper is a beryl feature?
[12:37] <Bidash> kitche is x-windows an alternative to gnome and kde or something different?
[12:37] <gortba> funkyHat: are you still around?
[12:38] <kitche> Bidash: gnome/kde runs on top of X
[12:38] <Bidash> ah
[12:38] <Bidash> kitche thanks
[12:38] <funkyHat> gortba, yep
[12:38] <gortba> funkyHat: would you mind helping me to try and get my sound up and running?
[12:38] <gortba> First, I should tell you that Im using Fedora Core 6 not Ubuntu.
[12:39] <mneptok> gortba: #fedora
[12:39] <bruenig> !offtopic | gortba
[12:39] <ubotu> gortba: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!

[12:39] <mneptok> gortba: this channel is for help with Ubuntu
[12:39] <Bradford> Hey, looking for advice on WiFi card in Ubuntu. I have tried everything to get it to work.
[12:39] <JammasterJay> I have a quick question (im a newbie - ebuntu) running from root is bad...got that...how do i know if im running fror root or not?
[12:39] <Jowi> logixoul, maybe you should try to reboot after that time fix?
[12:39] <gortba> yeah I know. You guys are just much more friendly.
[12:39] <mneptok> gortba: so switch
[12:39] <bruenig> JammasterJay, root is not enabled by default so you are never running as root unless you have set root up
[12:40] <funkyHat> gortba, hm. In that case you should direct your questions to #fedora ... I haven't used Fedora for years and anyway this channel is for help with Ubuntu.
[12:40] <mneptok> Bradford: pcmcia?
[12:40] <gortba> Actually, my other computer has Ubuntu on it.
[12:40] <JammasterJay> bruenig: Excellent
[12:40] <JammasterJay> Thxs
[12:40] <funkyHat> gortba, I agree with mneptok, install Ubuntu :-)
[12:40] <Bradford> mneptok, what's that?
[12:40] <nickrud> tinin, looking
[12:40] <Jowi> JammasterJay, in the terminal, if there is a # you're running as root. if there is a $ you're running as a normal user.
[12:40] <logixoul> Jowi: not sure what "time fix" you are thinking of, but I already rebooted like 5 times to no avail ;)
[12:40] <mneptok> Bradford: is it a PCMCIA card?
[12:40] <chrisjs169|brb> dyrne / Yggdrasil - using startx says connection to ":0.0" refused by server
[12:41] <gortba> hehe. Yeah--I've never had problems like this with my ubuntu system. Alright I'll go try Fedora. Thanks.
[12:41] <zlx> I just installed ubuntu but when its loading it does about 3% of the bar and freezes then says "/bin/sh: can't access tty; job control turned off" anyone know why?
[12:41] <Bradford> I think it's a minipci, broadcom
[12:41] <Yggdrasil> well hell

[12:41] <Yggdrasil> nathan_ thats sick

[12:41] <Goldline> I have been looking on the wbesite but.. i couldnt find anyhting, are there screenshots of the opensuse dsitrubution? like how it looksl ike if everything is installed & ready
[12:41] <mneptok> Bradford: good luck. worst Linux support of any hardware vendor.
[12:41] <Jowi> logixoul, is your date/time correct?
[12:42] <mneptok> Bradford: me? i'd buy another card and end the frustration.
[12:42] <nickrud> tintin, gksudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/info/nominalinex.postrm , put a # at the start of line 41, save and remove the package
[12:42] <JammasterJay> Can anyone recommend a Do All - Multimedia player? ....i cant seem to play my mp3's with my fresh ubuntu install
[12:42] <f0rtune> xubuntu was made for pc's that have lower specs right?
[12:42] <Bradford> mneptok, Thanks, do you know of anything to read up about that? Who makes the best card?
[12:42] <crdlb> f0rtune: it has lower RAM requirements
[12:42] <f0rtune> crdlb: thanks

[12:43] <JammasterJay> Bruenig: Codecs...hmm...riiiiight...
[12:43] <dyrne> chrisjs169|brb: sudo update-rc.d -f gdm defaults    should work if gdm is in /etc/init.d/ then sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[12:43] <bruenig> zlx, you will have to upgrade to 6.10 and then again to 7.04

[12:45] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[12:45] <dyrne> Aerotwelve: can you paste a line or two of error? no more than 2 lines
[12:45] <Aerotwelve> Sure,
[12:45] <mneptok> tondar: you can use mount, i think. .dmg is just a funky Apple re-roll of an iso image
[12:45] <dyrne> Aerotwelve: or just pastebin the whole thing
[12:45] <logixoul> Jowi: no, the time wasn't correct - it's correct in the installed Kubuntu but in the LiveCD it showed up as 4 hours earlier. Adjusted it now, but do you think this was the problem?
[12:46] <logixoul> Jowi: anyway, I'll try again now
[12:46] <tondar> mneptok: iso for a pack of icons ?
[12:46] <tondar> mneptok: what is the command ?
[12:46] <Jowi> logixoul, are you able to enter failsafe/recovery mode in ubuntu and run a fsck on that partition/disk?
[12:46] <mneptok> tondar: .dmg is just a funky Apple re-roll of an iso image
[12:46] <Aerotwelve> Well, it's on a different computer, but the end of the output says "Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
[12:46] <Aerotwelve> I can get more, if needed
[12:46] <tondar> mneptok: ok, what is the command that I have to issue?
[12:46] <Jowi> logixoul, yeah, if the time difference is to big you will get complaints.
[12:46] <mneptok> tondar: mount -t loop /path/to/.dmg /path/to/mount/point
[12:47] <mneptok> i think
[12:47] <tondar> mneptok: thanks
[12:47] <malv2> how do I see the boot log ?
[12:47] <imperfectus> So no one has seen this behavior with the scsi emulation?
[12:47] <malv2> what file is the boot log in?
[12:47] <logixoul> Jowi: yup, I can go into recovery mode and run fsck, but won't it be the same if I do it from the LiveCD?
[12:47] <mneptok> but there's a good chance those icons are worthless. they might be resource-forked for HFS+
[12:48] <Jowi> logixoul, I'm afraid that the live-cd might have the wrong time/timezone, so if you do it from there you will get the same error... (a guess but I think it's a valid guess)
[12:48] <Bradford> mneptok, wow that's cheap
[12:49] <logixoul> Jowi: I see, thx.
[12:49] <mneptok> Bradford: by far the path of least sesistance. the Intel 3945ABG has great support in Ubuntu.
[12:49] <chrisjs169|brb> sudo update-rc.d -f gdm defaults doesn't seem to work, but from what it looks like, GDM starts to load (I see a background) but the login 'window' doesn't appear
[12:49] <mneptok> *resistance
[12:49] <Aerotwelve> dyrne: Well, it's on a different computer, but the end of the output says "Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration. Sorry, didn't realize you could PM
[12:50] <dyrne> Aerotwelve: well im not sure id do sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg first and user vesa driver to get up and going.
[12:50] <logixoul> Jowi: but right now I'm trying to use Kubuntu's install tool to resize the partition (I intend to cancel it after that step, as it's already installed). That should be safe, right?
[12:50] <Jowi> logixoul, no idea. uncharted territory for me :)
[12:50] <Aerotwelve> dyrne: Alright, thanks, I'll try that
[12:51] <logixoul> okay
[12:51] <Yggdrasil> dam what do you need hardware wise to run beryl ?
[12:51] <Bradford> mneptok, thx for your help!

[12:51] <navets> does anyone know how to set up s-video on linux?
[12:51] <defendguin> is feisty fawn suppose to include an app to configure X if need be?
[12:51] <Yggdrasil> navets what video card ?
[12:51] <mobutu> when I switch user in gnome on feistry, my mouse stops working, why is that?
[12:51] <arnon> 7.04 - anyone managed to use d-link usb wlan on it?
[12:51] <dyrne> Aerotwelve: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to try to start x. dunno how familiar you are with linux
[12:52] <navets> Yggdrasil: onboard intel 128 mb
[12:52] <Yggdrasil> navets , sorry cant help :(
[12:52] <tinin> nickrud, it's needed to make some tricks to installl this on ubuntu, I just need to unistall it manually or with aptitude. But thanx, that must be the important file, i'll try
[12:52] <navets> Yggdrasil: thx ne way
[12:53] <nickrud> tinin, that's why aptitude won't remove it.
[12:53] <Yggdrasil> navets, there might be a man page for your intel video driver. under man pages
[12:53] <tinin> http://pastebin.ca/483882
[12:53] <tinin> nickrud
[12:53] <chrisjs169|brb> dyrne:  sudo update-rc.d -f gdm defaults doesn't seem to work, but from what it looks like, GDM starts to load (I see a background) but the login 'window' doesn't appear
[12:53] <_Puppy_> I've got a problem with sound capture on my ubuntu machine. Can anyone help?
[12:53] <Yggdrasil> and you basicly need to adjust your xserver xconf file
[12:54] <navets> Yggdrasil: yea last time i did that i had no graphics
[12:54] <tinin> nickrud sorry it's in spanish, but now i can see what aptitude is trying to do and i'll do it manually
[12:54] <nickrud> tinin, I understand your uncertainty
[12:54] <dyrne> chrisjs169|brb: sudo apt-get install xinit  (you should have it already) then 'xinit' you can then launch gnome-panel& and gnome-session&  to at least get a gui
[12:54] <Aerotwelve> dyrne: Okay, I ran it up until the part about color depth. The program quit with this warning: "xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customized configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20070511175323. Any thoughts?
[12:54] <Yggdrasil> navets google. and thats the way to do it, jsut backup your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file, pretty basic if you can copy a file to a different file name
[12:54] <logixoul> Jowi (and others): If I have unallocated space and *after that* a partition, then I cannot enlarge it directly, but rather I should use a low-level partition copy tool (what's the name again?), then delete the old partition and just _then_ enlarge the new partition. Is that correct?
[12:55] <d2812> JammasterJay : See PM re:codecs
[12:55] <ubuntuuser1988> Hello I want to COMPLETELY UNISTALL BERYL.. delete settings and all.. NO BERYL..
[12:55] <ubuntuuser1988> how to ?
[12:55] <tinin> nickrud laguage problems, but i speak esperanto too
[12:55] <dyrne> Aerotwelve: try sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart        now
[12:55] <Aerotwelve> Alright
[12:55] <nickrud> tinin, no spanish here, but I do read bash at about a 10th grade level. That's an easy one for me :)
[12:55] <logixoul> ubuntuuser1988: I believe you need to use Synaptic to uninstall beryl, then delete ~/.beryl to get rid of the settings
[12:56] <ubuntuuser1988> do u believe .. or are u SURE ?
[12:56] <t3hfr3ak> ok i need help setting up multiple monitora
[12:56] <funkyHat> ubuntuuser1988, first off, when you installed beryl, what method did you use to make beryl start on login?
[12:56] <logixoul> ubuntuuser1988: almost sure, but I've never used ubuntu.
[12:56] <ubuntuuser1988> just added     "beryl-manager" command to the System > Sessions
[12:56] <navets> Yggdrasil: yea im not afraid of chainging it its just i cant find a guideline to doing it with my video card
[12:56] <Jowi> ubuntuuser1988, you can try "sudo apt-get remove --purge beryl" and then "rm -r /home/user/.beryl*"
[12:56] <Aerotwelve> dyrne: Okay, my screen flashed three times, and I got the same error as before. "Failed to start the X server (your graphical interface). It is likely that it is not set up correctly."
[12:56] <_Puppy_> Can someone help me get my mic to work with Ubuntu? I think I have a problem with sound capture and I'm pretty much lost.
[12:57] <dyrne> Aerotwelve: you tried the vesa driver?
[12:57] <funkyHat> ubuntuuser1988, ok, so firstly remove it from there. next go to synaptic, do a search for beryl, and remove all the beryl packages (you might want to click 'completely remove')
[12:57] <Aerotwelve> dyrne: Yes.
[12:57] <funkyHat> ubuntuuser1988, then as logixoul said delete .beryl (which is in your home folder)
[12:58] <dyrne> Aerotwelve: and chose some lower resolutions too? it will try the resolutions in xorg.conf file from highest to lowest
[12:58] <Yggdrasil> ok
[12:59] <ubuntuuser1988> So first: sudo apt-get remove --purge beryl    and then      "rm -r /home/user/.beryl*"
[12:59] <ubuntuuser1988> and then Synaptics
[12:59] <ubuntuuser1988> ???
[12:59] <t3hfr3ak> anybody know how to get S-VIDEO output working
[12:59] <Jowi> ubuntuuser1988, either use apt-get or synaptic. different tools to achieve the same thing.
[12:59] <Aerotwelve> dyrne: I chose all of the resolutions. It said X server would attempt to find the highest possible resolution
[01:00] <dyrne> Aerotwelve: you can 'sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf'  and near the bottom of page change DefaultDepth  24     to 16 and the gdm restart again.
[01:00] <Aerotwelve> dyrne: No problem
[01:00] <dyrne> Aerotwelve: or keep dpkg-reconfigureing trying diff things until it works
[01:01] <`008> I recently installed Ubuntu 6.06 on my laptop, so it can work with Windows.
[01:01] <Asauce> How do I open a .cmg file in ubuntu?
[01:01] <Jowi> t3hfr3ak, usually it is as easy as connect the svideo cable and reboot. depending on your video card that is. I think nividia and ati has their own setup thing for it (I've only used generic cards for svideo)
[01:01] <`008> Unfortunately, I can't access the part of my drrive that has all my stuff.
[01:02] <funkyHat> ubuntuuser1988, don't bother with the apt-get command
[01:02] <Jowi> t3hfr3ak, in some cases you need to enable svideo in your bios, in others it is already enabled or not necessary.
[01:02] <sdfasdf2> can anyone tell my why feisty+ipw2200 refuses to play nice with wpa-psk?
[01:02] <Jowi> t3hfr3ak, for example "crt+tv" in BIOS/CMOS
[01:03] <Aerotwelve> dyrne: Hmm, looks like the same error. Any suggestions on what to change in reconfigure?
[01:03] <Jowi> t3hfr3ak, the important thing is to connect the cable *before* you start the computer
[01:03] <tinin> nickrud i think i have to remove just 34 to 38 lines here (translated) http://pastebin.ca/483895
[01:03] <imperfectus> I just want the darn DVD drive to read DVD's ;)
[01:04] <dyrne> Aerotwelve: try cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log  what does it say again near the bottom?
[01:04] <`008> Is dual booting Windows and Ubuntu supposed to hide the contents of the other's partitions?
[01:04] <t3hfr3ak> jowi: I have the cable connected and everything... i was working with Windows
[01:04] <sdfasdf2> okay i lied feisty is playing nice with everything
[01:05] <chamberlain> hi everyone, i just have a quick question about changing the volume via the cli.  I have a remote on my TV card, and i need to make it change the volume.  I can't remember the command to change the volume, + and -.  Anyone know the command I need to use?
[01:05] <nickrud> tinin, all you have to do is comment out line 41.
[01:05] <tinin> nickrud too late
[01:05] <Jowi> `008, short answer: yes. windows has no native driver for ext3 and in linux you need to mount the fat32/ntfs.
[01:05] <Jowi> !ntfs | `008
[01:05] <HostilePenguin> fstab
[01:05] <ubotu> `008: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[01:05] <navets> does anyone here know how to use wine?
[01:05] <dyrne> navets: ?
[01:05] <tinin> trying again nickrud
[01:05] <Aerotwelve> dyrne: The last two lines are "(II) UnloadModule: "vbe" " and "(EE) Screen(s) found, but none have a usable configuration.
[01:06] <Jowi> t3hfr3ak, what video card do you have?
[01:06] <nathan_> Hey guys, had to run a away for a sec.  Anyone look at the Matrix clip from you tube I linked?
[01:06] <t3hfr3ak> jowi; NVidia GeForce 7600 GS
[01:06] <soundray> navets: wine file.exe
[01:06] <`008> bash: Thank you.
[01:06] <nathan_> Animated Matrix code wallpaper
[01:06] <HostilePenguin> is your window ubuntu dual boot and dual drive?
[01:06] <dyrne> Aerotwelve: you have an nvidia card or intel?
[01:06] <navets> dyrne: i would like to know if wine will let me take my program of windows that lets me use s-video and let me use it on linux
[01:07] <Aerotwelve> dyrne: I have an ATI. I can boot into Windows and get the exact model, if needed.
[01:07] <nickrud> tinin, the postrm isn't very nice, it shouldn't be playing around in home. The issue is that mysql isn't there, and they don't check for it first. Either they should check, or depend on mysql. Skipping the mysql restart will allow that package to be removed.
[01:07] <chamberlain> navets: you will have to use a native driver for that functionality
[01:07] <nathan_> HEre is what I mean that I'm looking for: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYgV2GlsufI
[01:07] <nonewmsgs> are there any recomendations on brand names for an LCD?
[01:07] <nathan_> I personally like samsung monitirs
[01:07] <chamberlain> i like LG
[01:07] <navets> chamberlain: do you know if there is a way for me to use svideo through an intel graphics card
[01:08] <dyrne> Aerotwelve: lspci -v would tell you probably just pgup or down to scroll.  im not too familiar with ati cards. i only know they are sometimes problematic but vesa driver should workd
[01:08] <nathan_> Although NEC has been making qality build monitors for quite some time.  The last forever like Hondas.
[01:08] <chamberlain> navets: depending on the card, i've heard a lot of success through the i915 driver
[01:08] <chamberlain> navets: whats your card's model?
[01:08] <nonewmsgs> thanks guys
[01:08] <navets> chamberlain: ill check 1 sec
[01:08] <Znow> Can anyone help me with PartitionMagic?
[01:09] <ethereality> How do you force two windows to close when they aren't responding?
[01:09] <nathan_> Znow, why use Partiotion magic?
[01:09] <`008> Does Ubuntu 6.06 have a C/C++ compiler?
[01:09] <Znow> what else to use?
[01:09] <navets> intel 945 driver: i810
[01:09] <Znow> nathan_
[01:09] <nonewmsgs> it's a payware version of gpart.  if you pay fot it it has to be better right? :P
[01:09] <Aerotwelve> dyrne: For some reason, I'm getting system beeps when trying to scroll up, so I can't.
[01:09] <soundray> Znow: Partition Magic is closed source and not Ubuntu related. Not particularly reliable, either.  I'm going to add their repos. Thanx
[01:10] <nickrud> `008, make, gcc, a couple other essentials for compiling
[01:10] <Znow> so I have to use gparted?
[01:10] <Jowi> t3hfr3ak, I think you use "sudo nvidia-settings" or similar for that. but I am not 100% sure since I haven't owned a nvidia card for some time...
[01:10] <Znow> where to get?
[01:10] <nickrud> tinin, good luck
[01:10] <dyrne> Aerotwelve: lol sorry shift pgup
[01:10] <soundray> Znow: it comes with ubuntu Desktop CDs
[01:10] <nathan_> Znow:  sudo apt-get intstall gparted
[01:10] <Znow> I dont got that
[01:10] <ethereality> You don't have to use gparted, but it's the simplest ...
[01:10] <Znow> where from nathan_?
[01:10] <soundray> Znow: what do you have?
[01:10] <Znow> atm
[01:10] <Znow> PartitionMagic
[01:10] <chamberlain> navets: your card is an i8110, so it should work, check out http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Dual_Monitor_Intel_i810_i915
[01:10] <nathan_> Soundray, Ubuntu 7.04 doesn't included the gparted anymore
[01:10] <Jowi> !nvidia | t3hfr3ak (maybe you can find into here)
[01:10] <ubotu> t3hfr3ak (maybe you can find into here): To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:11] <`008> What command do I enter into bash to apt-get the compiler, linker, etc.
[01:11] <`008> ?
[01:11] <dyrne> `008: build-essential
[01:11] <nonewmsgs> nathan type sudo apt-get install gparted
[01:11] <soundray> nathan_: is that true?
[01:11] <Aerotwelve> dyrne: Heh. lspci returns: "VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Raedon Mobility X1400 (prog-if 00 [VGA] )" Any use?
[01:11] <Znow> PartitionMagic
[01:11] <Jowi> `008, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:11] <nathan_> yes
[01:11] <Znow> what to use?1 I need to partition my drive...
[01:11] <Znow> I have to resize, clean it and format it
[01:11] <Znow> I got 2 partition atm
[01:11] <soundray> Znow: are you going to install ubuntu?
[01:11] <Znow> yes
[01:12] <`008> Also: Is there a good IDE for it?
[01:12] <Znow> but I need some help
[01:12] <Znow> cause Ive used the whole day
[01:12] <Znow> because I ran into troubles
[01:12] <cox37777> i;m installing ubuntu server
[01:12] <dyrne> Aerotwelve: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2420732 might help
[01:12] <soundray> Znow: there is a partitioner that's part of the installer.
[01:12] <Jowi> `008, an IDE for what exactly? compiling applications?
[01:12] <d2812> Jowi: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:12] <cox37777> i've got grub 18 error, so i've set up the following
[01:12] <chamberlain> navets: i'll try to find you a better howto
[01:12] <yurimxpxman> is there any way to automatically store the linked images inside an OpenOffice document?
[01:12] <Znow> soundray
[01:12] <funkyHat> I thought the ubuntu installer could do that for you...
[01:12] <nathan_> Znow, you can partition your drive (with out destroying windows) in the Ubuntu live CD installer
[01:12] <Aerotwelve> dyrne: I'll look into it, thanks for your help.
[01:12] <cox37777> 100mb as primary /boot
[01:12] <Znow> I dont know how to do it
[01:12] <Znow> and how much the drives shall be on

[01:13] <navets> chamberlain: thanks i really appreciate it
[01:13] <Znow> i got a 100 gb drive
[01:13] <cox37777> but when i go to create a swap there is no option for it
[01:13] <`008> Jowi: Yes, I am trying to create applications.
[01:13] <Znow> shall I split that one up in 2 or 3 parts?
[01:13] <nickrud> argh, I hate us.archive.ubuntu.com.
[01:13] <slap_me> cox
[01:13] <slap_me> nm
[01:13] <slap_me> heh
[01:13] <Znow> i got a 100 gb drive
[01:13] <nathan_> Znow, it's at your personall descretion, but if you want to see me Partiotion setup.......
[01:13] <Znow> shall I split that one up in 2 or 3 parts?
[01:13] <soundray> Znow: don't repeat please
[01:14] <Jowi> `008, create or just compile? to compile, I would say no. to build it depends on the language you use.
[01:14] <yurimxpxman> is there any way to automatically store the linked images inside an OpenOffice document?
[01:14] <Znow> well, I dont know what to do...
[01:14] <theTrav> yo, anyone know where amarok keeps its album covers on ubuntu by default?
[01:14] <HostilePenguin> figure it out
[01:14] <`008> C++
[01:14] <Znow> Ive tried to get help everywhere....
[01:14] <HostilePenguin> rread somthing
[01:14] <`008> Or C whichever is available with an IDE.
[01:14] <HostilePenguin> how to use gparted
[01:14] <funkyHat> Znow, how much space is being used up by stuff on your windows partiton at the moment?
[01:14] <`008> (To automate the compiling, linking, etc.
[01:14] <Znow> 5,7
[01:14] <`008> )
[01:15] <Znow> but its a very clean install
[01:15] <Znow> with no programs at all
[01:15] <Znow> I think
[01:15] <slicknick> any idea why kmix is not keeping/saving my change when i choose USB Logitech headset
[01:15] <nathan_> 15GB Windows (ntfs) |  application data (ntfs) | 10GBLinux root (ext3) | 25GB /home (ext3) | 2GB swap
[01:15] <funkyHat> Znow, how much space do you anticipate Windows using?
[01:15] <Jowi> Znow, ubuntu need 1. root partition (I would recommend min 6GB) 2. swap (512MB -- 1GB should be enough) 3. /home (as much as you can spare
[01:16] <logixoul> (hd0,2) == hda3 right?
[01:16] <Znow> Oo
[01:16] <Jowi> Znow, you can combine root and home but i would not recommend it in case you need to re-install/upgrade
[01:16] <funkyHat> Why complicate things with a separate /home partition?
[01:16] <nickrud> Znow, 3 partitions ..., um see Jowi
[01:16] <nathan_> But like  funkyHat said, it depends how much space Windows is using now.
[01:16] <Znow> Dont know anything. arg..... how to do it?
[01:16] <Znow> I dont know what the thingies are used for etc
[01:16] <Znow> whats root, whats swap, whats /home?
[01:16] <Znow> I got 100gb total of my HDD
[01:16] <Znow> how shall I split up?
[01:17] <funkyHat> Znow, root (/) is where everything goes that isn't in another partition
[01:17] <nathan_> funkyHat:  keeps your personal data seperate from OS so if you EVER need to reinstall Ubuntu root you can format w/o losing your pwersonal data
[01:17] <slap_me> ~2gb swap
[01:17] <soundray> Znow: like Jowi said
[01:17] <dyrne> Znow: swap is like the page file /home is like Documents and Settings root is like c:\winnt\ sort of
[01:17] <adaptr> Znow install WIntendo first, it will save much breaking of the head later on...
[01:17] <`008> Jowi: Is there an IDE that can be D/Led for Ubuntu that automates the compilation and linking?
[01:17] <funkyHat> nathan_, true :)
[01:17] <logixoul> `008: kdevelop
[01:17] <nathan_> Would be nice if Windoz had that option.  :)
[01:17] <logixoul> `008: but since you use gnome, probably anjuta
[01:17] <Znow> WIntendo? Oo
[01:18] <slyboots> Hello, I was wondering if anyone could recomend a program for a job I need to do :)
[01:18] <Znow> omg im getting confused
[01:18] <slap_me> Znow,
[01:18] <slap_me> partition it like this
[01:18] <slyboots> Indexing my DVD collection, so I am looking for some sort of.. Databasing system
[01:18] <slap_me> heh
[01:18] <_Puppy_> I'm really confused here. I can hear my new mic through my speakers but I can't use the signal in any programs. Could someone please help? Please?
[01:18] <slap_me> about 2gb for swap
[01:18] <slyboots> .. Thats free ;)
[01:18] <slap_me> rest for /
[01:18] <slap_me> = X
[01:18] <logixoul> _Puppy_: kde or gnome?
[01:18] <funkyHat> slap_me, Znow wants a windows partition too
[01:18] <_Puppy_> gnome
[01:18] <slap_me> mm
[01:18] <logixoul> can't help then
[01:18] <slap_me> yea
[01:18] <Znow> ye
[01:18] <Jowi> Znow, root is the base system. swap is used for temporary storage. home is for your user files. I have 10GB for XP (that I never even use), 6GB for root, 512MB swap and 20GB for home. then I have an extra partition in case I need for 10GB. depends on your needs.
[01:19] <_Puppy_> logixoul: thanks for trying.
[01:19] <chamberlain> navets: http://www.williambrownstreet.net/wordpress/?p=35 its a howto for a different laptop,, but it uses the same card
[01:19] <dan_> hmm _Puppy_  what do you want to do?
[01:19] <slyboots> Some sort of.. DVD cataloging program that I can customise
[01:19] <navets> chamberlain: thanks alot i really appreciate it
[01:19] <GuyFromHell> Can someone help me figure out why one version of firefox (64-bit) properly uses the middle click as non-paste while the other version i have (32-bit) does not?
[01:19] <`008> Is Anjuta free?
[01:19] <dyrne> _Puppy_: its a setting in alsamixer run it from terminal and test probably
[01:19] <Znow> I want to do it so I can boot from xp and ubuntus
[01:19] <_Puppy_> dan_: just use it for audio chats in gizmo
[01:19] <Znow> well...
[01:19] <Znow> what to install first
[01:19] <Znow> btw thanks for the support
[01:19] <slap_me> Znow,
[01:19] <logixoul> `008: yes
[01:19] <slap_me> install xp first
[01:19] <Jowi> Znow, do you have many big apps/games for win?
[01:19] <Znow> hmm
[01:19] <_Puppy_> dyrne: how would I do that?
[01:19] <Znow> yes Jowi
[01:20] <slap_me> THEN ubuntu...ubuntu will take over windows boot menu
[01:20] <nathan_> Znow, for partitioning, you can ask google for specifics.  there is a lot of helpful documentations on the Incredable edible Internet about the subject.
[01:20] <dyrne> Znow: always let linux have th last word on install so windows first
[01:20] <GuyFromHell> no one listen to the crazy man (me) ranting in the corner, thank you very much
[01:20] <Znow> wow, cs, w3:tft etc
[01:20] <slap_me> so xp...THEN ubuntu
[01:20] <Znow> but but
[01:20] <slap_me> 100gb hd
[01:20] <Jowi> Znow, so how about 30GB for win, 10GB for ubuntu root, 1GB for swap and the rest for home...?
[01:20] <chamberlain> navets: i don't know if it mentions it in the howto, but i think you also need to install the xserver-xorg-video-intel package
[01:20] <Znow> my winxp is a "recovery" cd from acer
[01:20] <Znow> ok thanks jowi!
[01:20] <HostilePenguin> lmao
[01:20] <dyrne> _Puppy_: open a terminal and type alsamixer     adjust the settings testing the mic
[01:21] <slap_me> recovery cd's ftw!!
[01:21] <DangerDaz> Hi, i need to install ubuntu again and i was just wondering, is it possible to save the current configuration i have; beryl,themes,applications,nvidia driver, so that I can restore it to the current setup when i re-install easily?
[01:21] <navets> chamberlain: awesome, i try it
[01:21] <adaptr> GuyFromHell perhaps their.. options are set differently ?
[01:21] <dyrne> _Puppy_: or search ubuntuforums.org i know others have had similar problem
[01:21] <Jowi> Znow, you can even leave 10-20GB unused you know, in case you feel you need it for win or linux later. you don't need to fill the whole harddisk at once :)
[01:21] <GuyFromHell> adaptr: meh, that's what i thought but the about:config pages showed the same thing. it was confusing but i got it
[01:21] <_Puppy_> dyrne: I've used alsamixer to adjust the mic. I can hear it but I can't record it.
[01:21] <nathan_> DangerDaz.... funkyHat:  Hence having HOME on a seperate partition.
[01:21] <`008> Are there any things that I should avoid that might cause the kernel to blow up?
[01:21] <Znow> but... I cant partitionate with recovery cd
[01:22] <nathan_> Put /Home on seperate partion and you can keep your settings seperate from / so not to lose them in re-instrall.
[01:22] <holymoo_> hi guys
[01:22] <slap_me> znow...dl a pirated parition magic
[01:22] <slap_me> heh
[01:22] <slap_me> then use that
[01:22] <dyrne> _Puppy_: when you use the mic do you get noise coming out of the speakers also? iow your voice coming out of speakers (bad thing)
[01:22] <Znow> got one?
[01:22] <verdeza> hi
[01:22] <soundray> slap_me: please don't recommend warez here
[01:22] <Jowi> `008, yeah, don't recompile the kernel unless you know what you're doing
[01:22] <zBoy> #ubuntu-se
[01:22] <GrueTamer> `008: uh...well, there are a lot of things you can do, but i dont think youll really do them
[01:22] <holymoo_> i keep on getting the  cupsdAuthorize: Local authentication certificate not found! error in my cups logs.  i have a feeling that is preventing me from printing and it has something to do with permissions
[01:22] <chamberlain> navets: in case you screw up your xorg configuration and are stuck in command line, press ALT+F1, and then type in "sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf_BAK /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[01:22] <holymoo_> would anyone offhand have a clue how to fix that? i'm googling zilch on it
[01:23] <soundray> Znow: all you need is on the ubuntu install cd
[01:23] <slap_me> isnt there a burnable gparted?
[01:23] <slap_me> that he can just dl standalone?
[01:23] <GrueTamer> slap_me, yeah, there is
[01:23] <`008> For example, someone told me that dereferencing NULL can cause a KP.
[01:23] <Znow> where?
[01:23] <Znow> <3
[01:23] <dyrne> holymoo_: is this the original user you made or a new user on the system?
[01:23] <_Puppy_> dyrne: I hear pretty well out of the speakers. Not crackling or static or anything like that. I just can't use the sound in any programs.
[01:23] <Znow> grueTamer, where?!
[01:23] <slap_me> yea...znow...just dl gparted...then burn that...its a partition manager
[01:23] <holymoo_> original, i will try new
[01:23] <GrueTamer> Znow, just a minute
[01:23] <Znow> well...
[01:23] <dyrne> _Puppy_: oh
[01:23] <slap_me> google.com
[01:23] <knoeki> in which path is firefox located?
[01:23] <Znow> dont got anymore disc's ^^
[01:23] <soundray> holymoo_: that message is a side effect of other errors in most cases
[01:23] <Znow> used em all today
[01:23] <slap_me> go buy some
[01:24] <Znow> stores closed :/
[01:24] <slap_me> a true computer user has cd-r's galore
[01:24] <Znow> but can't I use it now
[01:24] <slap_me> heh
[01:24] <Znow> ?
[01:24] <chamberlain> back to my question, does anyone know how to turn the volume up and down via the command line?
[01:24] <GrueTamer> Znow, http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[01:24] <holymoo_> soundray ah really?
[01:24] <navets> chamberlain: yes i figured that out when i messed it up yesterday :)
[01:24] <holymoo_> *hmm*
[01:24] <dyrne> holymoo_: nah i just wanted to see if you were a member of group original user should be
[01:24] <Znow> thans grue
[01:24] <GrueTamer> chamberlain, run alsamixer
[01:24] <nathan_> just remember that gparted is not on the Ubuntu fiesty 7.04 live CD.  you have to use 6.10 or earlier
[01:24] <chamberlain> navets: well done, i've done it numerous times
[01:24] <Jowi> `008, all the files in /dev you shouldn't play with. but that's common sense (I hope)
[01:24] <`008> It is.
[01:24] <Znow> thanks*
[01:24] <holymoo_> what gouprs should users be in for printers, just lpadmin right?
[01:24] <`008> I don't screw with those.
[01:24] <Znow> But Grue?
[01:25] <GrueTamer> `008, dont compile a kernel that you set up wrong
[01:25] <Znow> Cant I just run it now
[01:25] <Znow> and manage the partitions?
[01:25] <chamberlain> gruetamer: i know that, but i need to be able to turn the volume up and down via my remote
[01:25] <GrueTamer> Znow, if youre on the livecd, you can just use apt to get gparted
[01:25] <`008> Now, to answer my NULL deref question...
[01:25] <soundray> holymoo_: yes
[01:25] <GrueTamer> if it is indeed not there
[01:25] <Znow> what do you mean?
[01:25] <navets> chamberlain: i need a list of unix commands to hang above my head for when i mess up stuff lol
[01:25] <GrueTamer> because i thought it was, just not as a part of the installer
[01:25] <nathan_> GrueTamer is true.  you can apt-get gparted from live Cd
[01:25] <Jowi> Znow, boot into the ubuntu live cd and use gparted. it is quite similar to pqmagic.
[01:26] <chamberlain> navets: ?? i cant tell if that was a joke :P
[01:26] <Znow> Jowi ok
[01:26] <mdeias> #Ubuntu-ar
[01:26] <slap_me> znow...use your ubuntu cd...restart computer...load up terminal type in 'sudo apt-get gparted'
[01:26] <lastkey> Hi
[01:26] <slap_me> then yer golden
[01:26] <lastkey> Need help
[01:26] <soundray> slap_me: you forgot "install"
[01:26] <slap_me> oh yea
[01:26] <archville> Hi.
[01:26] <holymoo_> man cups problems are the hardest to diagnose
[01:26] <chamberlain> lastkey: try to be more specific to get people attention
[01:26] <slap_me> sudo apt-get install gparted
[01:26] <nathan_> apt-get install gparted
[01:26] <lastkey> I want to permanently alias ls=ls -lrt
[01:27] <holymoo_> okay just a stab in the dark, anyone have a canon ip1500 type of printer or something in that range? just curious if you got it working
[01:27] <soundray> holymoo_: pastebin your error_log if you want me to have a look
[01:27] <mneptok> lastkey: your shell environment is where that happens
[01:27] <nathan_> yes, sudo is important. :)
[01:27] <lastkey> but as soon as i close the terminal window this aliasing ends
[01:27] <slap_me> then it will install...then run it...its a partition manager...running from cd-rom...not hd...so you can manager right there
[01:27] <`008> I have a question that involves a multiline source code.
[01:27] <chamberlain> holymoo: i have a pixma ip2000
[01:27] <soundray> holymoo_: there was a guy here the other day
[01:27] <Znow> slap_me.... ehm terminal type? Oo
[01:27] <`008> Anyone thinks they can answer, please PM.
[01:27] <Znow> wth is that?
[01:27] <lastkey> then how to do it
[01:27] <soundray> holymoo_: he got it to work with the ip2200 instructions on the wiki
[01:27] <holymoo_> chamberlain really? you just added it and it works? what version of ubuntu?
[01:27] <Jaboia> 008 what language is it in?
[01:27] <chamberlain> lastkey: you can set it to start in system>preferences>session
[01:27] <nathan_> Terminal is Linux's "command prompt"
[01:27] <sdf> how can i unzip files with  .rar  in ubuntu??
[01:28] <holymoo_> soundray ah really? someone else with a similar prob?
[01:28] <slap_me> no, in your terminal, type "
[01:28] <`008> C or C++
[01:28] <jrib> !rar >  (see the private message from ubotu)
[01:28] <chamberlain> holymoo: i use feisty, but it also worked in edgy
[01:28] <`008> I forget which.
[01:28] <holymoo_> soundray oh!
[01:28] <mneptok> lastkey: what shell do you use?
[01:28] <Jaboia> if you PM me i'll take a quick look, may not be able to help though
[01:28] <d2812> lastkey add 'alias ls=ls -lrt' in ~/.bashrc
[01:28] <lastkey> ok
[01:28] <holymoo_> soundray thx for the tip
[01:28] <chamberlain> holymoo: i had to add it as a printer, but the provided driver worked
[01:28] <holymoo_> lemme look
[01:28] <soundray> holymoo_: a guy with an ip1300 who used the Canon driver in the end
[01:28] <Znow> slap_me, how? maybe im slow and retarded 2am at the night but ^^
[01:28] <archville> sdf, install "unrar" package, then use: rar -x -r file.rar
[01:28] <lastkey> it's bash. But please do tell me how to know the shell from terminal
[01:28] <mneptok> d2812: you'll need quotes
[01:28] <lastkey> i mean by which command we can know it
[01:29] <sdf> archville thank you
[01:29] <d2812> mneptok : damn it, I was even reading from my bashrc as well
[01:29] <Znow> slap_me, how? maybe im slow and retarded 2am at the night but ^^
[01:29] <holymoo_> soundray, canon driver? i didn't see any linux packages on their site
[01:29] <nathan_> welcome ame, cein, rever, dick.
[01:29] <d2812> lastkey: add "alias ls='ls -lrt'" in ~/.bashrc
[01:29] <GrueTamer> Znow, what do you exactly want to do?
[01:29] <cein> hi nathan_
[01:29] <archville> sdf by the way i don't exactly remember if the command is "rar -x -r file.rar" or "rar x -r file.rar" but you get the point
[01:29] <nathan_> welcom bolo
[01:29] <rever75> Does anyone know how to set up gnome to play a sound when emptying the Trash ?
[01:30] <Znow> GrueTamer, I want to partitionate my HDD
[01:30] <mneptok> lastkey: echo alias ls=\'ls\ \-lrt\' >> ~/.bashrc
[01:30] <soundray> holymoo_: they are a bit hidden. You can find them when you look up your printer in the database on http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/OpenPrinting
[01:30] <GrueTamer> Znow...how exactly
[01:30] <rever75> I know it is totally useless but was just wondering
[01:30] <Znow> into 4 pieces
[01:30] <Znow> as jowi said earlier
[01:30] <GrueTamer> go on...
[01:30] <nathan_> <--- away
[01:30] <sdf> ok
[01:30] <slap_me> znow...do you have xp installed already?
[01:30] <dick-richardson> I have an intel wifi chip (ip2200), using feisty, and connecting to my network via wpa_supplicant. My connection keeps dropping, but only on this machine...any ideas?
[01:30] <Znow> Win: 30gb - Ubuntu: 10gb - Swap: 1gb - Home: Rest
[01:30] <Znow> yes...
[01:30] <GrueTamer> got it
[01:30] <Znow> but its a bad version
[01:31] <lastkey> it was there but commented, I uncommented but it is saying 'll' not found
[01:31] <Znow> cause
[01:31] <Znow> My comp chrashed while it installed
[01:31] <cein> use GPARTED
[01:31] <slap_me> you need to install xp before all else...
[01:31] <slap_me> heh
[01:31] <Znow> yes
[01:31] <GrueTamer> well then get rid of it or reinstall it
[01:31] <slap_me> cuz the recovery cd's will erase EVERYTHING
[01:31] <GrueTamer> getting rid of it is my favorite
[01:31] <GrueTamer> ;)
[01:31] <Znow> ^
[01:31] <Znow> ^^
[01:31] <Znow> ok ill try ;)
[01:31] <slap_me> GrueTamer, i totally would be ubuntu only...but my lady doesnt like it
[01:31] <slap_me> heh
[01:31] <slap_me> so i have to dual-boot
[01:31] <Znow> cya tomorrow, later tonight or something ^^
[01:32] <GrueTamer> slap_me, i had to dual boot because my roomie hates linux, but now that he got his own machine...its gone!
[01:32] <nathan_> slap_me.  I only dualboot to keep gaming easier.  :)
[01:32] <Bidash> can i access my xp ntfs drive from ubuntu? as in copy files from it over to the ubuntu partition(hdfile)?
[01:32] <d2812> lastkey: you may need to close the terminal window, before it takes effect for the first time.
[01:32] <jshriver> Hi, does anyone know how to author DVDs under Linux?
[01:32] <Greyhound> so first it's better to install ubuntu and then xp, if you want dual-boot ?
[01:32] <slap_me> she's like 'what did you do to the computer?!
[01:32] <nathan_> I would go console, but I just can't will myself to use a controller for FPS.
[01:32] <jshriver> using dvdauthor and mencoder? or ffmpeg?
[01:32] <soundray> Bidash: yes. Check out the private message from ubotu
[01:32] <dick-richardson> I have an intel wifi chip (ip2200), using feisty, and connecting to my network via wpa_supplicant. My connection keeps dropping, but only on this machine...any ideas?
[01:32] <soundray> !ntfs > Bidash
[01:32] <GrueTamer> Greyhound, other way around
[01:32] <lastkey> thanx d2812
[01:32] <Greyhound> k :)
[01:33] <lastkey> I got it. Can you tell me the command to know the shell am using
[01:33] <GrueTamer> my roomie likes his vista machines...too bad its slow
[01:33] <funkyHat> Greyhound, windows first... Ubuntu can handle setting up dual boot, windows is stupid and will just break stuff :)
[01:33] <Greyhound> I have a "good" copy of XP installed so I'm all set for an ubuntu install :D
[01:33] <Bidash> thnx! hope ull undersatnd it tho..
[01:33] <Bidash> i'll i mean
[01:33] <icebreeze> i'm currently switching from gentoo to ubuntu.  I have  files i need to back up but no place to put them.  It is possible to just delete the old file system and keep my files on the hard drive and not have to reformat it when installing ubuntu ?
[01:33] <cein> there must be _some_ way to keep win from messing it up
[01:33] <dick-richardson> icebreeze: yep
[01:33] <GrueTamer> icebreeze, uh...
[01:33] <soundray> Bidash: if not, you can always come back and ask more specifically
[01:33] <nathan_> Greyhoud, correction.  windows like taking over... then breaking stuff.
[01:33] <GrueTamer> i think so
[01:33] <barbarella_me> Bidash:yes you can, but don't
[01:34] <cein> but yeah... the safe way to go is install win first
[01:34] <dick-richardson> if it's on a separate partition from /
[01:34] <GrueTamer> icebreeze, see what happens :)
[01:34] <d2812> lastkey: thank mneptok - with out the quotes you'd of been screwed :) I'm afraid I dont know how to find out what shell you are in. Sorry.
[01:34] <icebreeze> dick-richardson: well how would i do that since i set the partition to root and it says it must be formatted anyway
[01:34] <GrueTamer> oh, well...
[01:34] <Greyhound> but why would it mess with the partition you install ubuntu on ?
[01:34] <GrueTamer> nevermind, maybe you cant
[01:34] <nickrud> icebreeze, you can't put them on a cd or thumbdrive?
[01:34] <dick-richardson> everything's in / ?
[01:34] <dick-richardson> you don't have a separate /home partition?
[01:35] <barbarella_me> Greyhound:hmm, that will not say that all will go perfect!
[01:35] <icebreeze> nickrud: its over 20 gigs of information.
[01:35] <chamberlain> icebreeze: email!
[01:35] <dick-richardson> then yeah, you should really back up
[01:35] <nickrud> icebreeze, borrow someones usb harddrive
[01:35] <pushpop`> by default what module extensionfor mysql do you have to enable in your php.ini file?
[01:35] <jshriver> Anyone know how to transcode a video file into mpeg2/vob and authoring a DVD? Trying to convert some home videos into DVD so I can send them to my family back home.
[01:35] <dick-richardson> got a dvd burner?
[01:35] <nathan_> Seriously, the guys at Conocial should have Ubuntu by default make a /home partition.
[01:35] <jshriver> dick-richardson: yeah
[01:36] <chamberlain> nathan_: its being discussed for gutsy
[01:36] <dick-richardson> jshriver: i was talking to icebreeze, sorry
[01:36] <jshriver> tis ok :)
[01:36] <icebreeze> no i don't have a /home.   when i had gentoo i had 3 partitions.  A boot, main(i guess root), and a swap.
[01:36] <lastkey> Can anybody tell me any software to view MS Power point presentation, other than Open Office
[01:36] <joey3> I just updated from dapper to feisty, and updated my kernel. now all my gnome letters are just squares, but the letters in terminals are still fine. some font problem. anyone familar with this?:
[01:36] <nathan_> jshriver.  Y0u can just encode mpg2 straight to DVD.  most DVD players have native suppoert for mpeg2 since that's what vob is based on.
[01:36] <holymoo_> well if anyone is interested ... http://mambo.kuhp.kyoto-u.ac.jp/~takushi/#canon
[01:36] <barbarella_me> dick-richardson:mencoder would be a good start
[01:36] <holymoo_> thats how you install those drivers
[01:36] <icebreeze> I don't care if the swap or boot partitions get whiped but i don't want to lose what is on the main partition
[01:36] <holymoo_> except we run dapper not edgy ... damn
[01:36] <hagabaka> i hate it that when people are comparing windows and ubuntu nowadays, the only advantage they seem to focus on is that you don't need to "install" extra software to get extra software
[01:37] <dick-richardson> icebreeze: do you have a dvd burner?
[01:37] <soundray> lastkey: there isn't a good alternative. What's the problem with OOo Impress?
[01:37] <jshriver> nathan_: huh? hehe... So I can just make a VIDEO_IFO or whatever directory and put a movie.mpg in there?
[01:37] <icebreeze> dick-richardson: yes but i really don't want to do that... 20+ gigs isn't fun to burn..
[01:37] <jshriver> I dont need menus or anything fancy, just viewable
[01:37] <lastkey> soundray: it crashes after I close presentation or doesn't show Slide Show at all
[01:37] <icebreeze> dick-richardson: and actually i don't have a dvd burner on the linux computer just my laptop so its just a moot point
[01:37] <dick-richardson> icebreeze: I agree, but it really is your best option.
[01:37] <nathan_> hagabaka.  I totally agree with you.  Like it's really that hard to get software.  people don't seem to have a problem D/Ling anything else on the internet.
[01:38] <icebreeze> dick-richardson: there isn't a baselayout i could get like in gentoo?
[01:38] <hagabaka> yeah
[01:38] <holymoo_> thx later
[01:38] <nickrud> icebreeze, you could get a crossover cable and transfer the files to the laptop then
[01:38] <C0stigan> hehhhh
[01:38] <dick-richardson> icebreeze: not really. you REALLY want to back up
[01:38] <C0stigan> can anyone here
[01:38] <C0stigan> help me?
[01:38] <C0stigan> O.o
[01:38] <maynards-girl> any ointers before I upgrade to fiesty this weekend?
[01:38] <barbarella_me> lastkey:yes you can, there is a viewer, but you have to run it wine. Mayebe other people know a better solution
[01:38] <soundray> lastkey: have a look at ppthtml, that's one I haven't tried
[01:38] <nathan_> jshriver: in a word, yes.  infact you don't even need that.  My $20 USD DVD player at home can run MPG2 and MP3 files fine on a data CD.
[01:39] <AceMan> anyone know how to convert a chm file to pdf?
[01:39] <jordo23> For some reason....all of a sudden, my second hard drive (sdb1) won't let me write to it.....any ideas?
[01:39] <soundray> lastkey: you might also want to have a look at the OOo memory settings.
[01:39] <icebreeze> dick-richardson: sigh... thought i loath compiling. i do miss the flexibility of a gentoo install...
[01:39] <lastkey> soundray: where i can find memory settings
[01:39] <cein> maynards-girl: keep an eye on your fstab
[01:39] <dick-richardson> icebreeze: the install is about all you'll miss ;)
[01:39] <cein> jordo23: what's the error?
[01:40] <cein> what's its FS?
[01:40] <dopefish> hey yalls - when I try to save the port range in bittornado to 10000-10010, it never saves
[01:40] <C0stigan> isolinux: Disk error 80, AX=0201, drive 00 <----anyone know what that means?
[01:40] <jordo23> cein: No error.....just can't create folders and stuff....no option when right-click....
[01:40] <dick-richardson> ok, that was a little 'drink the kool-aid'ish
[01:40] <cein> oh?
[01:40] <cein> can you write from the command line
[01:40] <icebreeze> dick-richardson: i personally love gentoo.  just as a busy college student i don't want to maintain it right now
[01:40] <jordo23> cein: it's also listed in /etc/fstab,...
[01:40] <cein> ?
[01:40] <soundray> lastkey: Tools-Options-OpenOffice.org-Memory
[01:40] <maynards-girl> cein, planned on backing my main stuff up just in case. better to do a fresh install than upgrade?
[01:40] <nathan_> Are ther any heavy hitter Ubuntu users in here with a resolution issue after installing nVidia drivers>?
[01:40] <lastkey> soundray: I got it man
[01:40] <cein> no, upgrade works just fine
[01:40] <jordo23> cein: It was fine yesterday.....all of a sudden...
[01:41] <cein> i didn't lose any data, just that some of my secondary partitions didn't mount automatically after upgrade
[01:41] <cein> but you might not have the same problem
[01:41] <cein> all in all a smooth upgrade
[01:41] <slap_me> mm
[01:41] <dick-richardson> icebreeze: i hear ya. I think you'll like ubuntu - maybe not as much as you do gentoo, but it'll get you by
[01:41] <soundray> !fixres > nathan_, read ubotu's private message please
[01:41] <Greyhound> what file system does ubuntu use ? ext3 ?
[01:41] <dick-richardson> Greyhound: by default, yes
[01:41] <soundray> Greyhound: by default, yes
[01:41] <slap_me> what is important to install in ubuntu when you get it? so at some point you wont have a 'crap i have to install this' moment?
[01:42] <cein> jordo23 can you create files at the CL?
[01:42] <nathan_> welcom Unreal_.    nice nick
[01:42] <slap_me> i already got my mp3/sound and video codecs...
[01:42] <Greyhound> aha...
[01:42] <dopefish> repeating message: when I try to save the port range in bittornado to 10000-10010, it never saves. Why? 1
[01:42] <slap_me> what else is necessary?
[01:42] <barbarella_me> C0stigan:usb drive?
[01:42] <HostilePenguin> i was suprised i wasent asked what file system
[01:42] <nathan_> soundray, is that what that is?  never used xchat before. :)
[01:42] <icebreeze> dick-richardson: for sure... i just totally see no point i backing to back all this up...  just because of a root fs
[01:42] <lastkey> I tried it. But after closing presentation it said OOO crashed.
[01:42] <HostilePenguin> i use reiserfs on my debian and elive install
[01:42] <navets> chamberlain: hey I kind of got it working but am having some probelms and was hoping you could help
[01:42] <C0stigan> er
[01:42] <chamberlain> navets: i'll try
[01:42] <gglser> anyone know how you can play NTSC DVD avi ?
[01:42] <dick-richardson> icebreeze: backups are a good idea anyway ;)
[01:42] <AceMan> anyone know how to convert a chm file to pdf?
[01:43] <gglser> at least thats what the stream is
[01:43] <cein> how is reiserfs?
[01:43] <soundray> lastkey: perhaps the ppt is faulty, or an old Powerpoint version?
[01:43] <icebreeze> dick-richardson: if i click guided on how to partition.  will it automatically erase my drive when i click forward.?
[01:43] <dick-richardson> cein: it's good
[01:43] <HostilePenguin> havent lost power yet
[01:43] <jordo23> cein: Nope...says permission denied.....how could this suddenly become changed and what should I do?
[01:43] <dick-richardson> you can choose not to format...
[01:43] <barbarella_me> gglser:yes
[01:43] <soundray> cein: not worth the deviation from the standard in my opinion
[01:43] <navets> chamberlain: awesome, ok so heres the deal, I am using it to set up to my T.V. It works but it only shows some of the screen because of the resolution. do you know how I can get it to show the whole sceen?
[01:43] <C0stigan> barbarella_me, i burnt ubuntu to a disk and tried to get it to load it gives me the ubuntu logo but when i click to install it gives me that message, sayingt he boot failed.
[01:43] <lastkey> hmm I don't think so. It's Office 2003 format presentation
[01:43] <cein> well journaling sounds useful
[01:44] <dick-richardson> but before I'd do it, I'd personally want to have a backup
[01:44] <gglser> barbarella_me: what should I do? VLC wont open it
[01:44] <soundray> lastkey: that's right, those should work. Does it contain video clips?
[01:44] <mneptok> cein: ext3 has journalling
[01:44] <cein> jordo23: checked the file permissions? are you root? what's the filesystem?
[01:44] <cein> oh..
[01:44] <aj_> anyone have problems with ut2004 and ati cards?
[01:44] <chamberlain> navets: in your xorg.conf file, there should be a setting of the preferred resolution, cant remember where, but it should be in there somewhere
[01:44] <AceMan> anyone?
[01:44] <jordo23> cein: logged in as normal user, jordo23,
[01:44] <chamberlain> navets: is the resolution too high or too low?
[01:44] <dick-richardson> icebreeze: it should give you a checkbox next to the partitions it's going to format
[01:44] <mneptok> AceMan: why convert?
[01:44] <lastkey> soundray: problem is with every presentation, which i open
[01:45] <navets> chamberlain: low it only shows about half of whats on my monitor
[01:45] <barbarella_me> C0stigan:what is your drive architecture?
[01:45] <AceMan> mneptok: cos i can read the chm in ubuntu but not windows
[01:45] <dick-richardson> uncheck the root partition and it SHOULD just write what it needs over your current install...
[01:45] <nathan_> soundray: I all ready tried those fixes.  none of them worked.  Also I'm running the Ubuntu 7.04 which this article does not directly cover.
[01:45] <mneptok> AceMan: the Widows Help Viewer opens .chm
[01:45] <mneptok> *Windows
[01:45] <dick-richardson> but my ex-girlfriend SHOULD have been faithful, too...
[01:45] <soundray> lastkey: in that case, I would exit OOo, do a 'mv ~/.openoffice.org2 /openoffice.org2-backup' and try again
[01:45] <AceMan> mneptok: it doesn't seem to like this particular chm file tho :(
[01:46] <barbarella_me> gglser:and mplayer?...don't think so!
[01:46] <soundray> nathan_: what resolution do you need?
[01:46] <C0stigan> O.o DVD/CDrw drive then an empty bay, followed by the hard disk bay, floppy diskbay and another empty bay.
[01:46] <mneptok> AceMan: print to a .ps psotscript file in Ubuntu
[01:46] <nathan_> I can mes with the xorg.conf file all I want till my fingers fall off, for whatever reason after install of nvidia driver all goes to 800x600 and does not change.
[01:46] <slyboots> Anyone happen to know what Ubuntu sets as the default password for root on mysql?
[01:46] <nickrud> icebreeze, maybe if you deleted every directory but /home first, it's an interesting experiment
[01:46] <chamberlain> navets: i'm just looking up the setting for tv-out, just a second
[01:46] <dick-richardson> another thought...when booted into the ubuntu live cd - move everything to a sub-directory under root
[01:46] <AceMan> mneptok: fantastic, didn't think of that. thanks!!    :)
[01:46] <dick-richardson> /backup, for example
[01:46] <leetwanker> anyone here run linuxmce?
[01:46] <soundray> nathan_: then your monitor isn't set up properly.
[01:47] <dick-richardson> the move should take seconds
[01:47] <navets> chamberlain: ok thanks
[01:47] <nathan_> soundray: I would love to do native resolution of 1280x1024, but 1024x768 will do nicely also.
[01:47] <cein> is the journal data journaled ? ;-)
[01:47] <icebreeze> nickrud: i will see
[01:47] <mneptok> cein: causality loop
[01:47] <soundray> nathan_: TFT or CRT?
[01:47] <nathan_> TFT
[01:47] <icebreeze> nickrud: actually thats what i did... i just have folder called backup
[01:47] <nickrud> icebreeze, and the idea of moving to a /backup
[01:47] <nickrud> eh :)
[01:48] <barbarella_me> slyboots:it doesn't, i think. but you can run mysql -u root, and change the password.
[01:48] <dick-richardson> nickrud: not a bad idea, eh :D
[01:48] <nickrud> I still say, steal someone's usb hard drive
[01:48] <icebreeze> nickrud: lol
[01:48] <dick-richardson> nickrud: yep
[01:48] <leetwanker> anyone run LinuxMCE?
[01:48] <navets> chamberlain: also i dunno if this will help but my monitor on my laptop is a widescreen and my tv is not
[01:48] <AceMan> lol
[01:48] <jlulian38> Is there any resonably easy way to make my laptop act as a router?
[01:48] <nathan_> leetwanker: I haven't yet but I like the demo video.  I may try it sometime,.
[01:48] <soundray> nathan_: set HorizSync to 30-65 and VertRefresh to 50-75, that should fix it for you
[01:48] <icebreeze> nickrud: well thats wonderful i can't even browse samba with this live cd...
[01:49] <slyboots> Yea, I got in Thanks :)
[01:49] <chamberlain> navets: the two SHOULD have the different resolutions.  Check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=98456 because it has a lot of the settings you'll need for tv-out
[01:49] <leetwanker> i'm just wondering if it will set up my tv output or if i'll have to configure it in my xorg.conf
[01:49] <jlulian38> I've got a wifi card and a ethernet, but I have a mac with no internet right next to me I don't want to buy stuff for
[01:49] <soundray> lastkey: was I making sense?
[01:49] <nickrud> icebreeze, neither can I. Someday I'll hook into a windows network :)
[01:49] <navets> chamberlain: ok cool thanks
[01:49] <lastkey> soundray: I tried your method but no luck
[01:50] <dick-richardson> nickrud: with a vista machine, a linux machine, and os x - it didn't take long to like samba
[01:50] <soundray> lastkey: sorry I couldn't help
[01:50] <barbarella_me> slyboots:GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON *.* TO root@localhost IDENTIFIED BY 'password' WITH GRANT OPTION;
[01:50] <lastkey> soundray: thank you for trying :)
[01:50] <leetwanker> i've never had luck getting my tv output working right in xorg.conf
[01:50] <soundray> jlulian38: you can setup internet connection sharing with firestarter
[01:50] <nickrud> dick-richardson, I could understand that, for sure
[01:50] <jlulian38> firestarte >.>
[01:50] <jlulian38> starter*
[01:51] <nickrud> ah well, work is done. See you all around next week
[01:51] <leetwanker> it'd be nice if nvtv worked

[01:52] <Endlessguitar> I should need help to install my graphic card nvidia geforce 7600
[01:52] <navets> chamberlain: hey sorry about this but you dont happen to have that last guide you gave me to configure the svideo. When i restarted x-server it didnt come back up
[01:52] <usser> the end guy is hard
[01:52] <Endlessguitar> I have restalled the linux 3 times cause when Ive done the settings have it fucked up
[01:52] <dick-richardson> system --> administrator --> restricted drivers
[01:52] <chamberlain> navets: you need the link again?
[01:52] <nathan_> Nope, still stuck on 800x600@50hz
[01:52] <dotpavan> !tomcat
[01:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tomcat - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:53] <soundray> dotpavan: does tomcat6 have features that you need? If not, I would strongly recommend sticking with the packaged version
[01:53] <dick-richardson> er...system --> administration --> restricted drivers
[01:53] <soundray> !language | Endlessguitar
[01:53] <ubotu> Endlessguitar: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:53] <Endlessguitar> sorry
[01:53] <nathan_> I might just have to revert back to 6.10 for this machine (intended purpose is setup as kiosk)
[01:53] <Endlessguitar> know some1?
[01:53] <dick-richardson> yeah, I graduated from a catholic school. I'm not familiar with this adult language ;)
[01:53] <tritium> Endlessguitar: we need to keep the channel family/work friendly, please
[01:53] <Endlessguitar> I see sorry
[01:53] <Endlessguitar> I said
[01:54] <dotpavan> soundray: I am just starting, hence any ver should be okay.. would the 5.5 repo version have default configured? I had probs configuring the xml files
[01:54] <slyboots> Hm is there a way to verbose a package install?
[01:54] <dick-richardson> Endlessguitar: yes. system --> administration --> restricted drivers
[01:54] <slyboots> So I can see what exactly it is that it is doing?
[01:54] <Endlessguitar> but it sais
[01:54] <Endlessguitar> says"
[01:54] <Endlessguitar> Your hardware does not need any restricted drivers.
[01:54] <navets> chamberlain: yea the one to the guild for the thinkpad. It didnt reload when I restarted x-server and i thought it would
[01:54] <nathan_> slyboots: use the -v command
[01:54] <nathan_> ??
[01:54] <soundray> dotpavan: I don't understand your question
[01:54] <chamberlain> http://www.williambrownstreet.net/wordpress/?p=35
[01:55] <soundray> Endlessguitar: so why aren't you happy ;)
[01:55] <navets> chamberlain: thanks
[01:55] <slyboots> That.. didnt realy do anything
[01:55] <slyboots> It .. looks like a version infomation for apt-get o.o
[01:55] <dotpavan> soundray: I was wondering : would it work like apache without any need for manual tweaking of config files?
[01:55] <Endlessguitar> cause
[01:55] <Endlessguitar> in windows xp have I resolution 1440 x 900 and in linux have I just 1280x800
[01:55] <Endlessguitar> :S
[01:55] <C0stigan> barbarella_me,  DVD/CDrw drive then an empty bay, followed by the hard disk bay, floppy diskbay and another empty bay.
[01:55] <spinull> when i try to connect to my ubuntu shares from windows it asks me for a password
[01:56] <thepumpkin1979> i'm trying to sync with my WM5 Device but when the pocket user is authenticated, it disconnects:S
[01:56] <icebreeze> dick-richardson: well i can't see how i'm going to back this up now.  Samba isn't working on the live cd.  I don't have a dvd burner in the linux comp.  Nor do i have a external hard drive.  Are you sure there is no base install i could od>
[01:56] <soundray> slyboots: you can get a package listing with dpkg --contents package.deb
[01:56] <nathan_> Endlessguitar:  A simple edit of your xorg.conf should fix that.
[01:56] <slyboots> I think the script might be busted
[01:56] <dotpavan> spinull: smbpasswd?
[01:56] <slyboots> When I try to install it, I get this :
[01:56] <slyboots> Setting up mediamate (<IP_ADDRESS>-4.2ubuntu1) ...
[01:56] <slyboots> [: 33: ==: unexpected operator
[01:56] <thepumpkin1979> im using synce, but is just disconnects!
[01:56] <dick-richardson> icebreeze: move everything to a new directory under / ... /backup for example
[01:56] <Endlessguitar> can you help me please please nathan_?
[01:56] <soundray> slyboots: to see what the setup procedure does, look at /var/lib/dpkg/info/packagename.postinst
[01:56] <spinull> dotpaven, i tried that but it says it can't connect to change my password
[01:56] <Endlessguitar> how I do it please :)
[01:56] <nathan_> sure.  I'll do it the noob way for you.
[01:57] <Endlessguitar> I am really newbie at linux Im just used it in around 2 days
[01:57] <nathan_> I'll make channel....

[01:57] <gnome-orochi`> hello..
[01:57] <Endlessguitar> hello.
[01:57] <icebreeze> dick-richardson: even if i do that it will erase that directory when it reformats the drive...
[01:57] <chamberlain> again, does anyone know the command to turn the volume up and down via command line?
[01:57] <gnome-orochi`> can anyone tell me how to use kiba dock?
[01:57] <usser> spinull: do sudo smbpasswd -a yourusername
[01:57] <Endlessguitar> hmm
[01:57] <spinull> k
[01:57] <dick-richardson> icebreeze: yeah, don't reformat
[01:58] <barbarella_me> C0stigan:do you install ubuntu from a cd?
[01:58] <icebreeze> dick-richardson: it won't let me continue unless i choose reformat.
[01:58] <Endlessguitar> nathan_?
[01:58] <C0stigan> it wont install
[01:58] <Endlessguitar> how it going?
[01:58] <C0stigan> it gives that disk error
[01:58] <soundray> Endlessguitar: have some patience please
[01:58] <nathan_> Endless guitar:  type "/join #endlessguitar" in chat box
[01:58] <Endlessguitar> hmm
[01:58] <barbarella_me> chamberlain:mount /dev/??? umount /dev/???
[01:59] <gnome-orochi`> Endlessguitar: do you know how to install kiba-dock?
[01:59] <dick-richardson> icebreeze: ...I'm stumped then
[01:59] <barbarella_me> chamberlain:or umount /mount/point
[01:59] <chamberlain> barbarella_me: i dont need to mount or unmount drives...?
[02:00] <barbarella_me> chamberlain:you asked "again, does anyone know the command to turn the volume up and down via command line?"
[02:00] <chamberlain> barbarella_me: yes, the sound (volume) up and down
[02:00] <spinull> that got er done
[02:00] <spinull> thanks usser
[02:00] <barbarella_me> chamberlain:try alsamixer
[02:00] <usser> spinull: nice
[02:01] <barbarella_me> chamberlain:esc = exit
[02:01] <chamberlain> barbarella_me: i can't use alsamixer, i need a command that can be used by my remote control
[02:02] <soundray> chamberlain: I *think* you may be looking for amixer. Have a look at the man page.
[02:02] <usser> isnt alsamixer a command line tool
[02:02] <soundray> usser: no, it's a text-based GUI
[02:02] <chamberlain> soundray: ok, i'll see
[02:02] <Bidash> barbarella_me i didn't notice your response until now. why did you say i shouldnt? "yes you can, but don't" about reading files from the windows ntfs partition when im in ubuntu..?
[02:02] <barbarella_me> chamberlain:dhaa...that's up to you, cause a i don't know.
[02:02] <chamberlain> soundray: perfect.  i'd used amixer before but i couldn't remember the command
[02:03] <JammasterJay> Here there, wanted to know how i open the 'bittorrent' included in ebuntu 6?
[02:03] <usser> soundray: yea i understand but it doesnt need nothing meaning i can run it through ssh?
[02:03] <mneptok> actually, alsamixer is a curses UI :)
[02:03] <mneptok> JammasterJay: double-click a .torrent
[02:03] <slyboots> as anyone here used MovieMate before?
[02:03] <slyboots> And mediamate  I mean
[02:03] <soundray> usser: you can
[02:03] <slyboots> and got it to work?  Welcome to #ubuntu!
[02:08] <barbarella_me> zielona_zabcia:yes we can
[02:08] <Simon_Malaysia> I need some help to install the missing driver for the VIA display card
[02:08] <C0stigan> barbarella_me, i have downloaded winxp pro onto the comp via CD so bios isent the problem, cables are all fine O.o
[02:08] <Simon_Malaysia> Can ANy one help me please
[02:08] <soundray> Simon_Malaysia: it's not missing, it's part of the default install.
[02:09] <Simon_Malaysia> how do I check if it is working
[02:09] <redcard> Does anyone know of a way to queue up Thoggen jobs?  I'm going on a business trip and want to take my DVDs in Ogg/Theora
[02:09] <Simon_Malaysia> I cannot get the display to lower down to 640 * 480
[02:09] <slyboots> Im looking at the script, but Im not realy sure what is wrong..  does not help that Im not sure what Im looking for exactly
[02:09] <nigro> hello
[02:09] <Simon_Malaysia> I need to do this because I use a very old monitor
[02:09] <crdlb> Simon_Malaysia: the resolution is too high?
[02:09] <barbarella_me> C0stigan:linux is more sensitive as windows
[02:09] <crdlb> ubuntu would be unusable at that resolution
[02:09] <Simon_Malaysia> yes
[02:09] <knoeki> in which path is firefox located? I'm configuring 'gmail notifier', it needs a path of a browser..
[02:09] <Simon_Malaysia> so what I do I do ?
[02:10] <soundray> Simon_Malaysia: run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and make sure via is selected as the driver
[02:10] <Simon_Malaysia> to make it display 640*480
[02:10] <C0stigan> barbarella_me, indeed thats why i think the dl was sh1t.
[02:10] <mneptok> C0stigan: did you md5sum the .iso files?
[02:10] <Grueliu1> Does feisty default with the 3g driver?
[02:10] <soundray> Simon_Malaysia: later on, make sure that 640x480 is among the active resolutions.
[02:10] <C0stigan> hmm no i did not,
[02:10] <jago25> I can't get anything to listen to open a port to listen on; kismet UI & gpsd for example. Is there somesort of firewall by default I'm not aware of?
[02:10] <barbarella_me> C0stigan:try to reset your bios t default, and see what happens.
[02:11] <C0stigan> :/ i dont really want to play with the bios
[02:11] <orbin> knoeki: run: which firefox
[02:11] <C0stigan> yet at least
[02:11] <knoeki> orbin: ??
[02:11] <Simon_Malaysia> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' is not working
[02:12] <Simon_Malaysia> sound ray
[02:12] <Simon_Malaysia> help
[02:12] <mneptok> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:12] <mneptok> just that
[02:12] <soundray> Simon_Malaysia: do not copy the quote marks
[02:12] <barbarella_me> C0stigan:what should go wrong, when you restore the bios to factory defaults!
[02:12] <orbin> knoeki: use the which command to locate an app's pathname
[02:13] <mneptok> orbin: which $appname
[02:13] <soundray> jago25: run 'sudo iptables -L'. If you get more than 8 lines of output, you've inadvertently installed a firewall.
[02:13] <knoeki> orbin: sorry, I'm a total n00b with ubuntu... how do I do that? >.>
[02:13] <C0stigan> barbarella_me, lol i dont think the bios is screwed and i reconfigured alot of stuff since 1997 :S
[02:13] <meatwad64> anyone here have an ati card that runs ut2004 right?
[02:14] <jago25> soundray, thanks. No rules. What could be stopping these things opening a port?
[02:14] <mneptok> knoeki: which $appname
[02:14] <phixnay> what command can I use to pop up a message box?
[02:14] <Simon_Malaysia> ok
[02:14] <redcard> So.. anyone?  A way to queue up Thoggen?
[02:14] <Simon_Malaysia> I got it but I do not what suppose to do
[02:14] <Simon_Malaysia> help
[02:14] <orbin> knoeki: apps > accessories > terminal
[02:14] <soundray> jago25: they may be trying privileged ports, in which case try starting them with sudo
[02:14] <knoeki> orbin: ah, in the terminal ^^
[02:14] <knoeki> okay thanks :D
[02:14] <Simon_Malaysia> how do you check if the hardware is correct for the VIA ?
[02:15] <HtBeast> I downloaded the alsa-info.sh script, and when I try to run it it tells me command not found. I try to run it from within the same directory with './alsa-info.sh' Any ideas?
[02:15] <jago25> soundray, nope, ports 2501 and have tried sudo. wierdness
[02:15] <soundray> Simon_Malaysia: just see if it works. You can configure it back to the vesa driver if it doesn't
[02:15] <Simon_Malaysia> what I do DO ?
[02:15] <barbarella_me> C0stigan:try the cables then. Maybe they are from 1997 :-)
[02:15] <Pelo> HtBeast,  anything else in that download or what it just the one file ?
[02:16] <HtBeast> yes pelo

[02:17] <redcard> .part
[02:17] <Pelo> HtBeast,  try opening the file with a text editor and see if there are any instructions in it
[02:17] <redcard> Ack.
[02:17] <C0stigan> barbarella_me, lol, the cables are all fine, ive checked everything, only thing i can think of is the DL was screwy
[02:17] <Simon_Malaysia> no x server known for your video hardware

[02:18] <Simon_Malaysia> Generic Video Card Sound ray ?
[02:18] <HtBeast> nope, no instructions. I seem to remeber running it once before a few days ago in my never ending quest to get sound working, but that was a couple of re-installs ago and I've done so much I can't remember for sure
[02:19] <soundray> Simon_Malaysia: I asked you to have some patience.
[02:19] <Pelo> HtBeast, did you use sudo ?
[02:19] <HtBeast> yep
[02:19] <Simon_Malaysia> ok I will be patience use kernel framebuffer ? yes /no
[02:19] <Pelo> HtBeast, check the site where you got it for instrucitons
[02:20] <barbarella_me> C0stigan:haha, maybe it is a wrong cd burn. It happens often
[02:20] <HtBeast> ok, thanks
[02:20] <soundray> Simon_Malaysia: I won't reply to you any more now. I told you what to do already: just accept the defaults.
[02:20] <funkyHat> My system still thinks it has twice as much swap as is actually there...
[02:20] <funkyHat> How can I fix that?
[02:20] <root> guys my system wont boot to a login screen. it boots to command line as root
[02:21] <root> i can startx but cant log in as a normal user
[02:21] <soundray> funkyHat: interesting... have you got two swap entries in /etc/fstab ?
[02:21] <xSUSHix> Ubuntu says my cpu is running at 1000MHz when i know it should be 1600 - am I losing cycles ??
[02:21] <soundray> root: have you changed the default from 0 to 1 in /boot/grub/menu.lst?
[02:21] <funkyHat> soundray, nope
[02:22] <Pelo> xSUSHix,  are you using  cpufreq ?  your comp is being throttled down because it doesn't need more cpu
[02:22] <jacques> hi eveyone, i'm back.  i've just tried knoppix live cd - and the sound works under that.  I strongly suspect it was the updates two days ago that broke my sound card. i've followed every recommendation I can find, i've trolled through error logs, mutings, volume switches alsamixer, groups...  Is there anything anyone else can think of that would have suddenly stopped my sound card working under all user accounts?
[02:22] <soundray> xSUSHix: no, it will go faster when you run a CPU-intensive task
[02:22] <root> il try that now. do i reboot after
[02:22] <Pijiu> I installed VLC and tried to run a few VCD's that I own but the CD-Drive won't detect them, do I need to install something to get it to detect the VCD?
[02:23] <soundray> root: no!
[02:23] <HtBeast> sorted pelo. I had to change permissions. Didn't think of that
[02:23] <root> ok?
[02:23] <Pelo> HtBeast, ;-)
[02:23] <soundray> root: if you had done that, it could have caused the problem
[02:23] <Endlessguitar> hello
[02:23] <Trebek> hey guys
[02:23] <root> oh, no i did not do that
[02:23] <Trebek> I have a noob problem
[02:23] <Endlessguitar> can some1 help me 2 install and download beryl?
[02:23] <Endlessguitar> so it works too
[02:23] <xSUSHix> soundray - i am currently running a game in the background which requires 100% cpu - and /proc/cpuinfo still says 1000mhz   =[   and i wish i had 1600 cuz the game is kinda laggy
[02:23] <soundray> root: have you made any other changes recently?
[02:24] <root> i just checked, it was set to 0
[02:24] <Pelo> Endlessguitar,   ask in #beryl
[02:24] <root> i started using the ati restricted driver
[02:24] <Endlessguitar> ok

[02:24] <Pelo> Trebek, sudo chmod 755 /mountpoint
[02:25] <soundray> xSUSHix: "sudo invoke-rc.d powernowd stop" disables throttling. I recommend turning it back on when you're done gaming
[02:25] <redfoxy> hi all
[02:25] <soundray> Simon_Malaysia: have a look and see if you can figure it out for yourself.
[02:25] <barbarella_me> Trebek:man chown

[02:26] <Trebek> im still learning this stuff ;)
[02:26] <Simon_Malaysia> Sound ray I selected only 600x800 640x480 can this do ?

[02:26] <jlulian38> uhh
[02:26] <soundray> Simon_Malaysia: that's fine

[02:27] <zhujiale> Anyone got the Canonical commercial repository to work with Feisty? The opera package appears nowhere for me...
[02:27] <Simon_Malaysia> Sound Ray it says "please choose a method for selecting your monitor characteristics." how ?
[02:28] <maynards-girl> pelo, ok.. seems to have cleared up since the desk top is loading
[02:28] <yell0w> Pelo, so i delete that folder and restart ?

[02:28] <yell0w> lol
[02:28] <soundray> Simon_Malaysia: select "Easy"
[02:28] <Pijiu> Anyone know how I can get my DVD/CD-Drive to recognise VCD's, it works for DVD and CD Rom but won't detect VCD
[02:28] <root> what is the command to start gdm
[02:28] <Pelo> yell0w,  look in it,  it keeps the config files for the menues,   you can delete the latest and rename one of the previous ones
[02:28] <DarlMcBride> Simon_Malaysia: No, "Easy" is for the uninformed. You want to be able to specify your monitor's horizontal sync and vertical refresh.
[02:29] <xSUSHix> soundray thankjs a bunch!!!

[02:29] <Simon_Malaysia> is this ok
[02:29] <DarlMcBride> Simon_Malaysia: The "Easy" method is very poor advice.

[02:32] <Pelo> zion_da, I had something like that because my hdd was being over used, if you have stuff like beryl or compiz installed it might also be a cause
[02:33] <harrisony> zion_da, if you are running on the live cd that is normal
[02:33] <BigMac> because this is just going horribly and I have tried many methods
[02:33] <zion_da> no
[02:33] <zion_da> it's not a live cd ....
[02:33] <SIIAU> ok
[02:33] <zion_da> it was ok until i configured
[02:33] <zion_da> the tv-out nvidia feature
[02:33] <zion_da> and after the menu's are in delay
[02:33] <soundray> BigMac: it can be a beast, but I'll have a go if you say what the issue is
[02:33] <zhujiale> so nobody use the feisty-commercial repo?

[02:38] <zhujiale> jrib: alright then. I wonder why they don't include the opera packages (which are indeed in pool)
[02:38] <redfoxy> nathan_, like? now i use 1280x1024 at 24bit
[02:38] <yargh> :(
[02:38] <cox37777> barbarella_me: umm how would it go if the user was say xxx
[02:38] <jrib> zhujiale: they were (are) in dapper-commercial
[02:38] <nathan_> redfoxy: yes
[02:38] <redfoxy> just reconfigure your xserver
[02:38] <zhujiale> jrib: thanks
[02:39] <nathan_> before I installed nvidia drivers I had 1024x768 (although I'd rather have 1280x1024 as well since that is native resolution)

[02:39] <phixnay> This option is not available. Please see --help for all possible usages.
[02:39] <zion_da> funkyHat, when i disable beryl and move to compiz or the standard ubuntu window managment i have no delay, maybe in beryl ? (i dont know where)
[02:39] <phixnay> why?
[02:39] <foutrelis> cox37777: Paste your /etc/sudoers on pastebin.us and give me the url.
[02:39] <barbarella_me> cox37777:reading is the best teacher
[02:39] <harrisony> zion_da, whar are you specs
[02:40] <redfoxy> nathan_, reconfigure your xserver to support new resolutions
[02:40] <nathan_> after nvidia installed it went to 800x600 despite the xorg.conf file says and nvidia-settings doesn't allow me to change the resolution either, just set to "auto"
