[17:34] <anirudh0> !ext3> anirudh0
[17:34] <astra-work> i am quite familiar with that, but if i wanted to clear out all X problems, is .xession a good place to start
[17:35] <fde> astra-work: note however that it is desktop neutral, gnome and kde handle that in a different place.
[17:35] <fde> astra-work: What issues are you encountering? I'd move it out of the way to simplify troubleshooting, yes
[17:35] <_zo> ok i'm off to play with rockbox
[17:36] <astra-work> thanks fde

[17:40] <Chuggst3r> fde: Well it was leading to me bothering you about something new. :P
[17:41] <Chuggst3r> fde: I'm having a little oddity with Update-Manager, whenever I run it from terminal I get "current dist not found in meta-release file"

[17:42] <roojan> hello
[17:42] <fde> Chuggst3r: sudo aptitude update ... then try again... if the result is the same, please pastebin that output, and your /etc/apt/sources.list
[17:42] <roojan> any one to talk?
[17:43] <fde> roojan: hey... you need any help with anything? welcome to #ubuntu by the way  ;D
[17:43] <Chuggst3r> anirudh0: The problem is my copy was never an updated version, straight install of Hardy. I also tried those to no avail.
[17:43] <atlef> !ask > roojan:
[17:43] <fde> Chuggst3r: Please try what I said, thank you.
[17:43] <dhamma> how do i check how much disk space my current install uses?  i'm asking because i need to reinstall and partitioned too much space for / the first time around...i want to repartition more closely to what i actually use
[17:44] <anirudh0> Chuggst3r, oh..sorry then ;)
[17:44] <Chuggst3r> fde: Trying it now.
[17:44] <MitchM> Anyone know of a good document management application? Such as to where people can upload files (say images) and I can keep a history of such 'updates' ?
[17:44] <atlef> dhamma: system monitor has that info
[17:44] <anirudh0> MitchM, you are talking about google docs?
[17:45] <dhamma> atlef: thanks
[17:45] <darmi> mohkohn: u still there?
[17:45] <MitchM> anirudh0, i must be... :)
[17:45] <Chuggst3r> fde: http://pastebin.com/d26d58f2e
[17:45] <fparodi> Did anyone install VNC server from RealVNC on Ubuntu 8.04?
[17:45] <MitchM> anirudh0, except... i can't use that on the intranet ;)
[17:45] <fde> Chuggst3r: Did you pastebin the output also?
[17:46] <Chuggst3r> fde: Oops sorry, pasted the wrong output.
[17:46] <fde> Chuggst3r: of whatever you were doing to get the original error... but after doing aptitude update
[17:46] <fde> Chuggst3r: No, that is half of what I asked for, so you're fine  :)
[17:46] <mohkohn> I am
[17:46] <mohkohn> darmi
[17:47] <anirudh0> MitchM, hmm....you could set up a local wiki
[17:47] <darmi> mohkohn:
[17:47] <anirudh0> MitchM, fairly easy to do..see tuts on the net
[17:47] <mohkohn> yep

[17:48] <fde> Chuggst3r: btw, did you ever sort out your video issues?

[17:48] <cyrus> I just setup networks shares via samba, how do I change the shares from home directory to a mounted drive?
[17:48] <Chuggst3r> fde: It ended up being the Nvidia beta driver I had installed, it wasn't getting removed via any of the nvidia-glx stuff.
[17:48] <Chuggst3r> legend2440: Tried those as well :(
[17:49] <fde> Chuggst3r: Can you show me the aptitude output with the error you spoke of please. Glad you got that figured out though  :)
[17:50] <Chuggst3r> fde: Trying to, pastebin is saying I'm triggering their spam filter.
[17:50] <anirudh0> lol
[17:50] <mohkohn> darmi should the ath0 there be wlan0? I don't have ath0
[17:50] <fde> Chuggst3r: haha... try paste.ubuntu.com
[17:50] <kakoonia> hey, i just installed tild, but from some reason all text i write, is written but disapears with the next key stroke anybody fromiliar with this problem?
[17:50] <darmi> mohkohn: yep
[17:50] <kakoonia> tilda**
[17:50] <hrhodes3114> Does any one have a simple way to install a acer laptop 802.3g
[17:51] <hrhodes3114> driver
[17:51] <mohkohn> I guess you are checking to see if I am paying attention!! :)
[17:51] <anirudh0> kakoonia, imo tilda is'nt half as good as the kde equivalent yakuake
[17:51] <darmi> adjust the settings to fit ur network
[17:51] <MrBashir> You probably will shout at me for this, but is there a GUI for VSFTPD?
[17:51] <cyrus> ;   logon drive = H:
[17:51] <cyrus> ;   logon home = \\%N\%U
[17:51] <cyrus> would that suffice?
[17:51] <fde> hrhodes3114: You mean your wireless drivers? lspci | grep -i wireless please.
[17:51] <Chuggst3r> fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15818/
[17:51] <hrhodes3114> for yes sir
[17:51] <cyrus> if i uncomment that, would that put the user into that directory?
[17:51] <biesbjerg__> could anyone help me remove apache2, php and mysql from my ubuntu 8.04 server edition?
[17:51] <Chuggst3r> fde: Also, any idea why when I use sudo commands it pops up with that unable to resolve line?
[17:52] <cyrus> sudo apt-get remove apache2 php5 mysql5
[17:52] <hischild> MrBashir: that ought not to cause shouting at you. You can search for it ==> aptitude search vsftpd and it should show.
[17:52] <cyrus> biesbjerg__: sudo apt-get remove apache2 php5 mysql5
[17:52] <biesbjerg__> I tried sudo apt-get remove apache2 php5 mysql, but they are all still there
[17:52] <hrhodes3114> thank you
[17:52] <cyrus> I'ad assume that right
[17:52] <hrhodes3114> sir
[17:52] <darmi> mohkohn: may the source be with u.... I'll back online n bout three hours.... going off line in bout 5mins
[17:52] <cyrus> biesbjerg__: did you /etc/init.d/apache2 stop?
[17:52] <cyrus> first?
[17:52] <kakoonia> anirudh0 : ye i know.. but when you on gnome, yakuake's gui isnt the best, so i looked for something that works good with gnome, though as isee it sucks even worse.
[17:52] <MrBashir> hischild: thanks :)
[17:52] <melch> hey can someone tell me why is it when i sleep the ath_apci model will not load and i am kept awake. Is there a way i can make it run a script so modprobe -r it when it goes to sleep
[17:52] <TheOV> fde: why does the "storing language" (75%) take so long?
[17:52] <hischild> biesbjerg__: you will probably have to reboot or something, as apt can sometimes remove software and let it run untill it is shut down.
[17:52] <fde> Chuggst3r: ahh... you were having that issue when we last spoke... it's just another symtom of it... I'm not actually aware of how to fix it though... it is a sudo issue....
[17:53] <legend2440> Chuggst3r: gksu gedit /etc/hosts make sure it says nick-desktop in there
[17:53] <biesbjerg__> cybrside, hischild : No, thought the uninstall script did that. But apt said it removed it and then I rebooted. Still there tho
[17:53] <fde> TheOV: It's a HUGE package. It is creating locales for about 20 forms of English...
[17:53] <hischild> fde: a slow sudo execution can be caused by the host not being in /etc/hosts.
[17:53] <hischild> (just to let you know
[17:53] <hischild> biesbjerg__: that's odd. And if you go to http://localhost it still works?
[17:54] <MrBashir> hischild: hold on, I have installed that already, but I like to have a GUI for that (your command only returns the deamon)
[17:54] <biesbjerg__> hischild: Yea, I installed the server through the ubuntu installation but that probably doesn't matter?
[17:54] <Chuggst3r> legend2440: What exactly am I looking for?
[17:54] <hischild> MrBashir: then it most likely has no GUI with it, unless that option is already there in the menu's.
[17:54] <Chuggst3r> legend2440: I've got this <IP_ADDRESS> nick-desktop.workgroupname
[17:54] <fde> hischild: legend2440: I am sort of aware of how to fix it, but I've never actually done it, so I'm not comfortable assisting... however if sudo is broken, why would using sudo have anythig to do with the fix?
[17:54] <hischild> biesbjerg__: that's odd. That shouldn't matter.
[17:55] <fde> legend2440: I think he needs to boot to runlevel 1 and edit that file and /etc/hostname
[17:55] <anirudh0> fde, whats the difference in the various english locales?
[17:55] <legend2440> Chuggst3r: i think should just say nick-desktop without workgroupname but maybe backup before changing
[17:55] <hischild> fde: Chuggst3r: problem is that having .workgroupname after the host makes sudo resolv that first, which can take a long time.
[17:55] <hischild> legend2440: ^
[17:55] <poopuser> mount point- check / file system ext3 / installer says 'main filesystem was not defined' oh guyz plz help me.10 moar minuts and i am starting to look 4 zenwalk cd
[17:55] <fde> Chuggst3r: Do you have another box you can talk to me from while I guide you through some steps to try to fix your sudo?
[17:56] <cyrus> So ya, anyone know about samba shares?
[17:56] <fde> cyrus: For basic things, I can help... for more advanced, try #samba maybe...
[17:56] <Chuggst3r> fde: Well I took the workgroup name out and it seems to have gone away.
[17:57] <Chuggst3r> fde: Would it fix the update-manager problem as well?
[17:57]  * fde doesn't understand how you can edit a file via sudo when sudo is broken
[17:57] <fde> Chuggst3r: It should, yes... try it  :)
[17:57] <hischild> fde: it just takes a long time. Also, you can edit it via the menu's which shouldn't need sudo.
[17:57] <biesbjerg__> hischild: I reinstall it all and typed apt-get remove apache2-mpm-prefork
[17:57] <cyrus> I just need to know how to change the home directory for a use login
[17:57] <biesbjerg__> seemed to have done the trick I think
[17:57] <jyro> my gnome panel disappeared because of unmet dependencies... anyone else have this problem?
[17:58] <Chuggst3r> fde: It's not broken, it works...just came up with that message.
[17:58] <fde> cyrus: man smbpasswd
[17:58] <Chuggst3r> fde: It's an annoyance really. :P
[17:58] <Chuggst3r> fde: Yet it didn't fix the whole update-manager problem.
[17:58] <facilitador> hello friends
[17:58] <cyrus> ummm
[17:58] <jyro> anyone else have a broken gnome-panel after updates?
[17:58] <facilitador> how are you?
[17:59] <facilitador> how do to install package automatically solve all depedencias?
[17:59] <hischild> biesbjerg__: try searching for apache2  ( synaptic search apache2 ) and see if it's still installed
[17:59] <facilitador> how do to install package automatically solve all depedencias in ubuntu?
[17:59] <fde> cyrus: actually, according to that file... it obeys /etc/passwd ... that file contains home directories.
[17:59] <hischild> facilitador: apt automatically resolves dependencies, meaning you don't have to do it by hand.
[17:59] <atlef> facilitador: synaptic
[18:00] <atlef> !synaptic > facilitador:
[18:00] <cyrus> oh
[18:00] <hischild> jyro: what do you mean with broken gnome-panel?
[18:00] <cyrus> so it's where ever the user's home dir is?
[18:00] <wornof> Trying to connect to a WEP secured network in Hardy Heron. I can fill in wireless key etc., but it won't let me click 'connect' - thinks I need a longer key. How do I make it work?
[18:00] <cyrus> how do I create a new user then?
[18:01] <fde> cyrus: yup... guests with use 'nobody'
[18:01] <jyro> ok, so i cant install gnome-about because of a dependency error -> gnome-about: Depends: gnome-desktop-data (=1:2.22.2-0ubuntu1) but 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu2 is to be installed

[18:01] <jyro> so im sol

[18:01] <anirudh0> is there any improvement in speed using ctorrent?
[18:01] <qba___> its cpu temp monitoring tool
[18:01] <hischild> cyrus: sudo adduser <username>
[18:01] <anirudh0> cyrus, useradd
[18:01] <legend2440> Chuggst3r: read very last post re: meta error https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/174266
[18:01] <qba___> anirudh0: no diff what torrent u use it all about ur conn ;p
[18:02] <jyro> so no answer for broken gnome panel?
[18:02] <fde> jyro: what is broken about it?
[18:02] <Chuggst3r> legend2440: I was hesitant on doing that though, isn't that a bad thing to do?
[18:02] <qba___> sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-panel ?
[18:02] <qba___> jyro: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-panel ?
[18:02] <anirudh0> qba___, too bad ...i was hoping ctorrent would be a bit faster :)
[18:02] <jyro> well, would do that but i cant install gnome-panel
[18:02] <jyro> because of a dependency error
[18:02] <anirudh0> jyro, pastebin apt's error
[18:02] <jyro> gnome-about: Depends: gnome-desktop-data (=1:2.22.2-0ubuntu1) but 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu2 is to be installed
[18:02] <Devistator> does any one know where I can get some cool linux hacks???
[18:03] <legend2440> Chuggst3r: well, i've never had to do it so can't say
[18:03] <jyro> and gnome-panel depends on gnome-about
[18:03] <qba___> Devistator: hacks for what :D
[18:03] <Chuggst3r> legend2440: Welp, worse case scenario I reinstall.
[18:03] <jyro> this just happened when i updated with apt
[18:03] <Rob76> Deviststor: not here.
[18:03] <legend2440> Chuggst3r: maybe just rename instad of remove
[18:03] <hischild> Devistator: define linux hacks ... like an awesome customized desktop?
[18:03] <fde> jyro: you let it remove gnome-panel?
[18:03] <Devistator> anything really as long as its not gonna shut my system down
[18:03] <sobersabre> hi guys.
[18:03] <Luhta> if jcn comes back looking for me tell them I'll be right back
[18:04] <fde> jyro: or it just can't update it?
[18:04] <jyro> yeah, i guess i didn't really read what was updating until after it happened
[18:04] <sobersabre> is there a channel I can consult about hosting provider ?
[18:04] <jyro> no, it actually removed it
[18:04] <Devistator> bbl
[18:04] <fde> jyro: for future reference, ALWAYS check at least what is to be removed!
[18:04] <hischild> jyro: please pastebin the entire error, from the top of the console down
[18:04] <legend2440> Chuggst3r: i don't think that error effects anything. just annoying
[18:04] <fde> jyro: for now, do you have update-proposed enabled by chance?
[18:04] <Chuggst3r> legend2440: Well I removed the notifier, but it says the .update-manager-core isn't there...
[18:05] <fde> jyro: rather, hardy-proposed
[18:05] <TheOV> fde: any idea how long storing languages will take?
[18:05] <fde> TheOV: It should be done by now.... depends on your connection and system though.
[18:05] <jyro> jyro@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-get install gnome-panel

[18:06] <TheOV> fde: what do you mean by connection speed?
[18:06] <fde> jyro: that's not what I asked for... have you enabled hardy-proposed?
[18:06] <hischild> fde: i asked him to pastebin the entire error.
[18:06] <fde> TheOV: It's a package, it has to be downloaded... then the locales have to be built....
[18:06] <jyro> yeah... i was just going to disable it
[18:06] <Devistator> bak
[18:06] <fde> hischild: Ok... well we already know his error....
[18:06] <TheOV> fde: well it's not downloading anything
[18:06] <fde> jyro: Please answer my question....
[18:07] <hischild> fde: not really tbqh. It might have given him an error due to something being wrong. I'll be quiet for now and observe.
[18:07] <anirudh0> is there a reader for ms reader's .lit files
[18:07] <legend2440> Chuggst3r: did you clean install hardy or upgrade?
[18:07] <jyro> sorry, usually i can find fixes on the forum.  Ive never used the irc channel.  and yes, i do have that enabled.
[18:07] <Chuggst3r> legend2440: Clean install.

[18:16] <joshual> you know that gnome replacement menu?
[18:16] <legend2440> Chuggst3r: my .update-notifier folder is empty and my .update-manager-core folder has file called meta-release-lts inside

[18:18] <legend2440> Chuggst3r:    you may want to create one  and then i can  paste the meta-release-lts so you can create it and put it inside the core folder
[18:18] <usser> tyberion, it should already be there with ubuntu
[18:18] <atlef> tyberion: it is there by default
[18:18] <tyberion> well Im using fluxbox.. and thunar... there it isnt :(
[18:19] <harfg> devs... you know the desktop could do with a front end for 'mlabel' and friends .. to easily rename the volume

[18:19] <usser> tyberion, if u install file-roller
[18:19] <tyberion> thanks=)

[18:19] <tyberion> usser: file-roller is already the newest version
[18:19] <tyberion> still I dont have it in context menu.. mhh :(
[18:20] <legend2440> Chuggst3r: yes you created the .update-manager-core folder?
[18:20] <usser> tyberion, hm... what is the type of archive, it may not appear if archive is not supported
[18:20] <legend2440> !paste

[18:21] <wastedyouth> Compiz seems be working... I can use the desktop cube
[18:21] <fde> Jack_Sparrow: He has to downgrade a package for dep reasons...
[18:22] <tyberion> usser: hmm thats strange... still not there:(
[18:22] <Jack_Sparrow> wastedyouth Yes, but you lost window decorations.. which is what that command will fix
[18:22] <fde> Jack_Sparrow: sudo dpkg -i --force-downgrade /var/cache/apt/archive/gnome-desktop-data_2.22.2-0ubuntu1_all.deb  <-- this is what he needs to do.
[18:22] <wastedyouth> I have window decorations... I did that command and there is no change

[18:22] <DoYouKnow> hi. I'm trying to install fglrx+xserver-xgl on ubuntu 8.04
[18:22] <wastedyouth> Its the uhm... "start menu" bats that are missing
[18:22] <DoYouKnow> the xorg.conf file has like nothing in it
[18:22] <harfg> after enabling advanced destop effects and fing about with compiz
[18:22] <vico> #PyGTK
[18:22] <DoYouKnow> that's the default I guess... so I'm having a bit of trouble
[18:23] <Chuggst3r> legend2440: Still nothing. :(
[18:23] <DoYouKnow> how do I generate a "normal" xorg.conf file and get this thing working?
[18:23] <Catslacks> Can anyone help me get my wireless going? I'm stuck.
[18:23] <Rob76> wastedyouth: have you tried rebooting?
[18:23] <Jack_Sparrow> wastedyouth we can restore the panels to defaults
[18:23] <fde> tyberion: note you need something like gamin to watch changes to files...
[18:23] <usser> tyberion, im not sure thats the one but try to install thunar-archive-plugin
[18:23] <legend2440> Chuggst3r: maybe reboot needed
[18:23] <wastedyouth> Yes, I tried rebooting.
[18:23] <Jack_Sparrow> !pm | jyro
[18:23] <studente> Hello!
[18:23] <wastedyouth> Its after the reboot that it started... after an upgrade
[18:24] <m-c> hello - I am trying to use printing for the first time (print is dead, right?), and having some trouble.  I plugged in the USB printer and it was seen by the applications just fine.  But, when I print, nothing happens.  Is there a print queue I can check?
[18:24] <legend2440> Chuggst3r: are the permissions for folder and file right?
[18:24] <Jack_Sparrow> wastedyouth <ubottu> To reset the panel to defaults, type this in a !terminal: « gconftool --recursive-unset /apps/panel && killall gnome-panel »
[18:24] <studente> Any chances to boot Ubuntu live from a USB stick on macbook? Google is quite silent about this
[18:24] <TheOV> fde: storing languages is still running :)
[18:24] <Sinnerman> hello. i try booting the ubuntu gutsy live dvd into a vmware server (obtained through the repos) vm, and for the past 459 seconds, it's been polling the various devices from sda to sdar at 10s intervals. why is that, and how can i stop it doing that?
[18:24] <fde> TheOV: Wow... I think it's safe to say something went wrong... that's proof though that it isn't just installing base.
[18:25] <jyro> I'm sorry.  I suppose I'm a noob when it comes to IRC ettiquette.  Here is my error.  http://paste.ubuntu.com/15828/
[18:25] <boozkachu> Anyone have any links or tips about using Ubuntu in an internet cafe as the main operating system?
[18:25] <jcn> Hello, Lutha helped me absolutly nicely but now he is afk, I need help to deactivate Xorg and install Nvidia9600GT driver, I'm on gnome I did "ps axu |grep gdm"  and Control + Alt + Backspace but it started regularly with graphics
[18:25] <jcn>  is that normal
[18:25] <jcn>  ?
[18:25] <m-c> studente: it is very probably that it works, but it may not be easy nor may there be step by step instructions
[18:25] <Catslacks> Can anyone help me get my wireless going? I've installed madwifi but it doesn't work.
[18:25] <fde> TheOV: That is part of language-pack-en ... which is an Ubuntu thing.
[18:25] <Dillizar> Catslacks: are you on a laptop
[18:25] <redwhitewaldo> how do i remove "network servers" from nautilus's places?
[18:25] <m-c> boozkachu: what do you mean by 'main operating system' ?
[18:25] <redwhitewaldo> and from Menu's Places?
[18:25] <wastedyouth> It said gnome-panel: no process killed
[18:25] <Catslacks> Dillizar: No, a desktop.
[18:26] <TheOV> fde: i don't think there's a problem yet - teh hdd is still active, and it's doing "Generating locales... en_US.UTF-8"
[18:26] <studente> m-c: Indeed, they is no much information around :(
[18:26] <Dillizar> what is th problem you cant connect to interent
[18:26] <studente> m-c: My macbook is a intel based one, mayve that helps?
[18:26] <Dillizar> Catslacks:
[18:26] <boozkachu> m-c: Well "the" operating system if possible. I mean I don't want to use windows if it is possible to use Ubuntu for this
[18:26] <jcn> Hello, Lutha helped me absolutly nicely but now he is afk, I need help to deactivate Xorg and install Nvidia9600GT driver, I'm on gnome I did "ps axu |grep gdm"  and Control + Alt + Backspace but it started regularly with graphics
[18:26] <jcn>   is that normal
[18:26] <jcn>   ?
[18:26] <m-c> studente: macs tend to be a more closed hardware solution.  no surprise
[18:26] <fde> TheOV: How old is the machine? That takes about 2-3 mins on a 2.8ghz pentium d
[18:26] <iuri> hi there. what is the name of the file that hold users information such as homedir
[18:26] <studente> m-c: got you
[18:27] <Rob76> wastedyouth: maybe try typing "gnome-panel" in a terminal?
[18:27] <TheOV> fde: 1999 (300mhz, 64mb ram)
[18:27] <Dillizar> Catslacks: waht is the problem
[18:27] <Catslacks> Dillizar: I can't get my wireless going.
[18:27] <m-c> boozkachu: yes, ubuntu is not an uncommon solution for community computer rooms
[18:27] <Jack_Sparrow> wastedyouth What were you doing when you lost panels
[18:27] <fde> TheOV: Hmm, that may explain it... also explains your use of the alternate cd  :D
[18:27] <Flannel> iuri: There is no single file, it's a bunch of files in their homedir
[18:27] <Dillizar> are you now on the ubuntu Catslacks
[18:27] <PdUb101> hi guys, i was wondering if it was possible to set a key binding in Compiz fusion that will allow me to rotate the cube to the left by pressing a single key??
[18:27] <jyro> i also recently lost the panel
[18:27] <Catslacks> Dillizar: Yes.
[18:27] <Jack_Sparrow> wastedyouth Which release/distro are you using
[18:27] <wastedyouth> It was doing an update and told me to do a partial upgrade
[18:27] <studente> studente: Make me clear, how is this possible the correct boot of another OS works like a charm on MS than?
[18:27] <iuri> Flannel, so how to change the user homedir ?
[18:27] <fde> PdUb101: sure.
[18:27] <ron> how can i use apt on 6.10
[18:27] <boozkachu> m-c: ok, how about running Direct X games under Ubuntu, is it fairly straight forward to setup?
[18:27] <wastedyouth> I am using Hardy
[18:28] <Chuggst3r> legend2440: Yeah permissions are set right.
[18:28] <Dillizar> how are ya now connected to the internet Catslacks and you are on 8.04
[18:28] <jyro> i have the same problem as wastedyouth i believe.  here is the error http://paste.ubuntu.com/15828/
[18:28] <studente> m-c: They're maybe way more closed than Apple itself...
[18:28] <jcn> Hello, Lutha helped me absolutly nicely but now he is afk, I need help to deactivate Xorg and install Nvidia9600GT driver, I'm on gnome I did "ps axu |grep gdm"  and Control + Alt + Backspace but it started regularly with graphics
[18:28] <jcn>   is that normal
[18:28] <jcn>   ?  I NEED HELP TO DEACTIVATE XORG PLS
[18:28] <FloodBot3> jcn: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:28] <usser> iuri, /etc/passwd dont modify it directly though there utils to do that
[18:28] <dhamma> how come cfdisk sees all my partitions on /dev/sdb, but gparted doesn't?
[18:28] <legend2440> Chuggst3r: maybe reboot needed
[18:28] <Catslacks> Dillizar: I am on 8.04, and I am connected through an ethernet cable to my router
[18:28] <m-c> boozkachu: no, not straight forward at all!  directx purposefully does not support ubuntu
[18:28] <Mousey> aahh! ubuntu.com is down!
[18:28] <PdUb101> fde, where and how would i go about setting that up??
[18:28] <Chuggst3r> legend2440: I'll try that out right after this song. :D
[18:28] <fde> jcn: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop <-- will turn off x... replace stop with start when you wish to use it again.
[18:28] <Jack_Sparrow> jcn Do you mean stop X in order to install your driver?
[18:28] <Flannel> iuri: What are you trying to do?  Just change whatever files you want to change.
[18:28] <Mousey> ubuntu.com's still down. =(
[18:29] <Dillizar> dunno bout desktop but i think i can help you
[18:29] <acp_> hi I would jus like to confirm if ubuntu site having a problem?
[18:29] <boozkachu> m-c: would it be feasible to use WINE for Direct X games?
[18:29] <Mousey> acp_: it's down!
[18:29] <Dillizar> dunno bout desktop but i think i can help you Catslacks
[18:29] <Jack_Sparrow> boozkachu no

[18:29] <Mousey> The MySQL error was: Lost connection to MySQL server during query.
[18:29] <Mousey> Currently, the username is dp_ubuntu_araza and the database server is iron.canonical.com.
[18:29] <fde> PdUb101: I'm not sure via compizconfig-settings-manager ... I can tell you via gconf?
[18:29] <acp_> Mousey: ok thanks
[18:29] <Catslacks> Dillizar: Okay
[18:29] <Flannel> !away > MatthewV
[18:29] <ChinoRuiz> que onda!!
[18:29] <legend2440> Chuggst3r: is the sudo: unable to resolve host nick-desktop error gone?
[18:29] <Mousey> i think canonical's iron's a little rusted
[18:29] <PdUb101> fde, ok thats fine also
[18:29] <iuri> Flannel, no, i am tring to change the user homedir when it log in
[18:29] <fde> PdUb101: It's the cube plugin if you'd rather use  compizconfig-settings-manager
[18:29] <boozkachu> Jack_Sparrow: Bummer
[18:30] <shadowman> why is ubuntu.com down?
[18:30] <m-c> boozkachu: potentially - but directx is a closed solution.  at best you will only emulate a windows environment.  why not choose to run free software alternatives?
[18:30] <Jack_Sparrow> boozkachu I dual boot for directx games
[18:30] <Flannel> iuri: So, you want to change the homedir to somewhere else?  What reason, may I ask?
[18:30] <detrate> How do packages make it into ubuntu repositories? / Where can I find out who maintains a package and bug them to update it?
[18:30] <Dillizar> have change the options of the panel Catslacks
[18:30] <iuri> Flannel, i already got. usermod -d :)
[18:30] <iuri> Flannel, thanks anyway
[18:30] <usser> boozkachu, some games work though, like CS:S i get 60-70 fps
[18:30] <Flannel> iuri: Why do you want to change it though?
[18:30] <Jack_Sparrow> boozkachu there is some work on directx in wine, but I dont know much about it as it is still beta from what I heard
[18:30] <Catslacks> Dillizar: What?
[18:31] <boozkachu> m-c: Jack_Sparrow : I would really like to use Linux, as the licensing cost of windows for this many machines is crazy. Also my clients would want to (expect) to play recent PC games
[18:31] <iuri> to safe time typing all the time i logged
[18:31] <Flannel> detrate: You can view the package information.  In synaptic, or apt-cache show [package]
[18:31] <boozkachu> Jack_Sparrow: ok thanks
[18:31] <iuri> Flannel, to safe time typing all the time i logged
[18:31] <Flannel> iuri: What?  How will it save you typing?
[18:31] <Flannel> iuri: ~/ is your home directory
[18:31] <Jack_Sparrow> boozkachu If they want to run windows games.. they need to pay the windows fees
[18:31] <iuri> cd .../ .../ ../
[18:31] <Dillizar> Catslacks: on one of the panels you have network connectiviti
[18:31] <detrate> thanks Flannel
[18:31] <shadowman> kubuntu.com is not down
[18:31] <usser> iuri, there are shortcuts

[18:32] <ottoshmidt> I have ubuntu and Xp on different HDDs and boot from BIOS in wich I' like
[18:32] <Mousey> Jack_Sparrow: i was yelling
[18:32] <fde> PdUb101: I don't have the key memorized, and Ubuntu doesn't set it by default... 'sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager' and look at the cube plugin.
[18:32] <fde> PdUb101: It's really easy to set up...
[18:32] <keops> can someone help me with a problem with vbox?
[18:32] <Jack_Sparrow> !caps | Mousey
[18:32] <iuri> Flannel, so every time i log it goes to /
[18:32] <ottoshmidt> is this way a good one?
[18:32] <iuri> Flannel, witohut any permissions
[18:32] <m-c> boozkachu: you seem to be missing the reason why your licensing costs are so high, it is because you are in a closed solution.  directx puts you in a similar situation
[18:32] <Aragorn> Mousey: yer hurtin mah ears!!!
[18:32] <Jack_Sparrow> keops vbox has a channel
[18:32] <Mousey> ooo, using caps!!
[18:32] <Rob76> Mousey: its okay dude.. the world is still spinning...
[18:32] <dhamma> i need to reinstall hardy, but the install disk doesn't see my existing partition table!

[18:34] <Flannel> wastedyouth: You should disable hardy-proposed
[18:34] <keops> i dont know how
[18:34] <boozkachu> usser: Thanks
[18:34] <keops> that the problem
[18:34] <greenmanspirit_> hey, is there something for gnome that will give you your main menu via clicking on the desktop either with nautilus drawing the desktop or not. I like gnome but would like the menu kind of thing you get with the box window managers
[18:34] <patbam> i'm trying to debug why my network connection is slow on my desktop (ethernet -> wireless router) but not over wireless (this laptop). waht can i do to debug how the desktop is configured?

[18:34] <lmosher> Question#2: Is the ubuntu image updated (i.e. does it have kernel 2.6.24-17?)
[18:34] <fde> wastedyouth: next time please review all packages being removed to ensure it's what you want.
[18:34] <surmandal> help me to set it up
[18:34] <surmandal>  can someone tel me how can i build the local repo of multiple distro on ubuntu machine.?
[18:35] <atlef> keops: under system - administration - user and groups. manage groups and find vboxusers and add yourself
[18:35] <Jack_Sparrow> !aptoncd
[18:35] <keops> done
[18:35] <fde> Jack_Sparrow: If you don't mind, I'd like to test this to ensure it works... then I can help more people on the matter... he's the second person now today.
[18:35] <m-c> Where is the Print Queue manager in Ubuntu?
[18:35] <Flannel> !afk > nico|afk

[18:36] <surmandal> fde,  pls tell me how can i build the local repo of multiple distro on ubuntu machine.?
[18:36] <wastedyouth> there are two sources listed.. one for hardy and one for sources

[18:37] <m-c> studente: think about what?  :)
[18:37] <david_bren1> when i boot and try to install it it drops mi in "busy box"...whats the problem ?? does anyone know
[18:37] <wastedyouth> Flannel: those are the only ones I see in third party software
[18:37] <fde> Jack_Sparrow: Agreed... many are because it's the solution for virtualbox though.
[18:37] <Slart> Bits: unused memory is wasted memory.. ubuntu will give it back if anything needs it
[18:37] <Jokka> Does anyone know a good dload progg like dc++? kinda sic of limewire not being able to download folders..
[18:37] <fde> wastedyouth: did you try the command I said?
[18:37] <atlef> keops: have you installed virtualbox-ose-modules-generic?
[18:37] <zippytech> does any know where i can find the sources for 6.10 to use apt
[18:37] <wastedyouth> The force downgrade command?  Yes, it told me I need to specify a package
[18:37] <Flannel> wastedyouth: No, we're not looking in third party software.  Er... what's the URL of that one that is in third party software?
[18:38] <Slart> Bits: or, I should say.. the linux kernel will give it back if something needs it
[18:38] <Lynet> Roughneck_cowboy: If you would tell what your problem is, the chance of someone helping you will increase several orders of magnitude..
[18:38] <keops> no
[18:38] <fde> wastedyouth: You did, so I guess it's not there... grrr... hold on please.
[18:38] <wastedyouth> http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu
[18:38] <Bits> Slart: it seems that my fan is always under load... nothing is running.... this seems a bit inefficien
[18:38] <Bits> *inefficient
[18:38] <dhamma> jack_
[18:38] <studente> m-c: About how so many boot loaders do work with MS windows, but non with Mac, which is more "open" than Microsoft Products :)
[18:38] <dhamma> Jack_Sparrow: sudo fdisk -l shows the table
[18:38] <wastedyouth> i have everything checked for updates
[18:38] <Slart> Bits: so you'd rather have your memory unused and everything read from the hard drive instead?
[18:38] <Flannel> zippytech: Edgy has reached EOL, you should think about upgrading.  but, old-releases.ubuntu.com should have a repo.  Of course it won't ever change again, since it's frozen.  So you won't get any updates.
[18:39] <Enselic> What is the customary file name format for plain text files in Linux* CAPITALS?
[18:39] <Slart> Bits: keeping stuff in memory is more efficient than keeping it on disk
[18:39] <Chuggst3r> legend2440: Yeah that was fixed when I removed it.
[18:39] <Flannel> studente: that's just BIOS vs EFI, nothing to do with the OS itself
[18:39] <Bits> Slart: ok, thanks, but i'm interested in keeping my heat readings down
[18:39] <m-c> studente: microsoft and linux run on x86 hardware which is extremely open, mac hardware has always been extremely closed, by comparison
[18:39] <Dillizar> why does my ubuntu keeps telling me i have 500MB memory is it cuz my graffic card isnt working?
[18:39] <keops> already installed
[18:39] <atlef> keops: after installing it, log out and in. that should do it
[18:39] <zippytech> i tried but it's an old 700 mhz dell that don't seem to want to load 8 i get busy box
[18:39] <Mousey> ubuntu.com is teh FIXED!! ^_^
[18:39] <usser> Enselic, theres none, u can name plain text files as u please
[18:39] <Mousey> bai!
[18:39] <Jack_Sparrow> dhamma Just checking.. not sure why gparted is not seeing it.. run gparted off the livecd and see if it see things correctly
[18:39] <Roughneck_cowboy> I did   "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop " to stop X    then Ctrl+alt+backspce  and how can I activate my NvidiaDriver9600GT currently on my desktop ?   Am I right or did I made something wrong ????
[18:40] <m-c> studente: the same can be said for the mac osx hardware drivers - all closed
[18:40] <keops> ok but log out the ubuntu or just the vbox?
[18:40] <studente> m-c: Got you
[18:40] <atlef> keops: ubuntu
[18:40] <fde> Jack_Sparrow: Flannel: Do either of you have gnome-desktop-data 2.22.2-0ubuntu1 around? (in /var/cache/apt/archive/) ... it's not in http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/g/gnome-desktop/  :(
[18:40] <keops> ok
[18:40] <Enselic> usser: I don't want to come up with something on my own, I'd like to know if there is some accepted "standard"
[18:40] <TheOV> can i still download a 7.10 alternate cd?
[18:41] <studente> m-c: Aren't the Intel procesors implemented in Mc x86 now?
[18:41] <wastedyouth> Wait, I typed the force downgrade command wrong... sorry I'm a newb let me try the whole command this time
[18:41] <Flannel> TheOV: yep.  releases.ubuntu.com
[18:41] <Slart> Bits: you do what you want.. it's your laptop.. I think there is a swapiness setting somewhere in the /proc/ tree to control how the kernel manages memory
[18:41] <fde> Jack_Sparrow: Flannel: The issue is that gnome-panel depends gnome-about which depends on that version... so is broken
[18:41] <studente> TheOV: Yes
[18:41] <Lynet> !nvidia | Roughneck_cowboy
[18:41] <Dillizar> TheOV: the web isnt working :P but yes
[18:41] <Aragorn> is hardy heron worth foolin' with ?
[18:41] <Bits> what's soffice.bin? Slart: thanks, i'll look into it
[18:41] <m-c> studente: are you using a x86 architecture for your mac software?  I thought you were asking about linux on mac hardware
[18:41] <TheOV> fde: yeah the storing languages has now been running for an hour
[18:41] <fde> Jack_Sparrow: Flannel: Unfortunately people went ahead and removed things because the package manager tried to and they didn't check into it.
[18:41] <Dillizar> ues Aragorn
[18:41] <Flannel> fde: downgrade to a non-proposed version.  2.22.1-0ubuntu6.1 (that's in updates, I believe, -0ubuntu6 is in hardy)
[18:41] <usser> Enselic, not really, there are no standard as far as i know text files that contain important info like README or INSTALL or LICENSE are usually capitalized other than that theres no convention
[18:41] <Dillizar> yes Aragorn
[18:41] <Jack_Sparrow> fde So this is only for people trying to upgrade vbox?
[18:41] <Slart> Bits: here's a link about it http://kerneltrap.org/node/3000
[18:42] <shadowman> ubuntu.com is back
[18:42] <wastedyouth>  cannot access archive: No such file or directory
[18:42] <wastedyouth> Errors were encountered while processing:

[18:42] <MrObvious> Bits: It's the installer for Open Office. There are already prepackaged versions in the repos for it.
[18:42] <Slart> Bits: it's open office
[18:42] <MrObvious> !pastebin | wastedyouth
[18:42] <Enselic> usser: ok, thanks
[18:42] <david_bren1> when i boot and try to install it it drops mi in #busy box"? can someone help
[18:42] <keops> atlef thanks
[18:42] <keops> it works
[18:42] <Bits> Slart: MrObvious: thanks
[18:42] <atlef> keops: good
[18:42] <MrObvious> Bits: YW.
[18:42] <Flannel> fde: use pinning, don't use dpkg.  That way you'll just grab it from the repos, and you don't care what versions he has in his cache
[18:42] <Slart> Bits: I think there is a setting to disable the "have office run in the background to speed it up" thingy
[18:42] <wastedyouth> ubottu: thankyou I will learn to use it asap
[18:42] <recon69> configure cant find freetype2 , but I'v installed libftt2 , it says installed version is 1.4pre , do I need to get it elsewhere
[18:42] <studente> m-c: I'm using an Intel based CPU on my macbook
[18:42] <Jack_Sparrow> david_bren1 At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[18:42] <keops> it says that i dont have a 64bits supporter processor but i do
[18:42] <fde> Flannel: Jack_Sparrow: From outputs I've seen, gnome-about depends an explicit version of gnome-desktop-data (2.22.2-0ubuntu1 rather than ubuntu2) ... it can't be over or under.
[18:43] <m-c> studente: then why ask how to create a usb boot for ubuntu on a mac ?
[18:43] <Slart> Bits: start open office and check the preferences.. or options.. or whatever it's called
[18:43] <keops> i had installed the 64bits version
[18:43] <Jack_Sparrow> fde But is this only for people running vbox
[18:43] <tucuna> is a wubi installation of hardy as good as a "normal" install: yes or nor¿
[18:43] <Flannel> fde: 2.22.2 vs 2.22.1, the .1 is in the repos, .2 is in -proposed, which should *not* be used, and obviously has a packaging error as well.
[18:43] <m-c> studente: oh, do you mean how do it within the osx operating system?
[18:43] <Jack_Sparrow> tucuna not in my opion
[18:43] <Jack_Sparrow> opinion
[18:43] <atlef> keops: it doesn't support 64bit guests
[18:43] <keops> oh
[18:43] <keops> i see
[18:43] <fde> Jack_Sparrow: Yes... VirtualBox in hardy is broken since kernel -17 without hardy-proposed enabled.
[18:43] <Flannel> tucuna: As far as usage, yes.  You get a tiny bit of a performance penalty with disk IO.  as far as robustness and stuff, no.
[18:44]  * m-c troubleshoots why a print job does not go from the application to the queue.
[18:44] <Slart> Bits: in options, OpenOffice.org, Memory there is a "Enable systray Quickstarter"... make sure it's disabled
[18:44] <Aragorn> Dillizar: thanx
[18:44] <rawmeat> how can i change the resolution for my x3100 intel gpu - i use a 14,1" TFT display lenovo T61. .. max res is 1024x768, i want 1280x1024 :(
[18:44] <Bits> Slart: any command that i can use to clear cache?
[18:44] <fde> Flannel: no... just 2.22.2-0ubuntu1 ...
[18:44] <MrObvious> !resolution | rawmeat
[18:44] <usser> fde, thats cause -17 is in hardy proposed
[18:44] <fde> usser: yes... that's what I said  :P
[18:44] <Dillizar> lol Aragorn
[18:44] <Flannel> fde: 2.22.2-0ubuntu1 might *not* exist
[18:44] <m-c> !printer
[18:45] <TheOV> fde: YAY!! storing languages just finished!!!
[18:45] <tucuna> Jack_Sparrow - Flannel: wubi or resize disk with important windows data/installation to install: which would you choose?
[18:45] <Flannel> tucuna:
[18:46] <cameronh> are there any daemons for ubuntu that can maintain NAT port mappings on a UPnP/IGD router?
[18:46] <MrObvious> Flannel: lol
[18:46] <shifter_> How i can apply a patch of the wine?
[18:46] <Jack_Sparrow> tucuna resize partition every time
[18:46] <Flannel> tucuna: If you're not comfortable dealing with partitions, use wubi to try out Ubuntu, but it's not really a long term solution.  If you enjoy Ubuntu, plan on reinstalling at some point with a real install
[18:46] <recon69> rawmeat: check sys->prefs->screen res , it that dont have the screen size you want check sys->admin->hardware drivers and see if you got restricted drivers avaiable
[18:46] <MrObvious> cameronh: I would just manually port forward. uPnP isn't secure and manually port mapping isn't hard at all.

[18:47] <detrate> "PulseAudio is now enabled by default. Some non-GNOME applications still need to be changed to output to pulse/esd by default and the volume control tools are not yet integrated."

[18:48] <legend2440> Chuggst3r: have yor read this? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=559039
[18:48] <cameronh> MrObvious: the router in question has a habit of 'forgetting' DHCP reservations
[18:48] <MrObvious> guffe: I would modify the xorg.conf so it is available. Also maybe setting up VNC wouldn't hurt.
[18:48] <Slart> Bits: I can't really find anything on reducing size of disk buffers... it's not really a common thing to do
[18:48] <m-c> oh, I see in the ubuntuforums.org that the Lexmark printers have terrible Linux support.  Off to kinkos for me!  ;)

[18:48] <flobbo> why do the top and bottom panels expand across 2 monitors once I have all 3 running? it's confusing.
[18:48] <Dillizar> Jack_Sparrow reinstall?
[18:48] <m-c> Good luck getting your issues resolved, all.
[18:48] <MrObvious> cameronh: I would get a new router or if it is capable put DD-WRT on it. My Linksys WRT54G works wonders with DD-WRT.
[18:48] <tucuna> Flannel - Jack Sparrow: I agree, just wanted comments. I use gnu/linux since red hat 7.1, but i am working in the amazon and have little time to install Ubuntu on a computer that indigenous people use in an office (and i won't be back here in another 12 months) - so am curious to know what ppl think of wubi - anyway, thx, will probably do a gparted resize
[18:49] <cameronh> MrObvious: well my router is a DD-WRT router :D but unfortunately this router isn't mine (i wouldn't deal with such a shoddy appliance ;))
[18:49] <Chrysalis> hey, i am trying to make a script executable by using 'chmod a+x .file' is that command right because when i go to sessions to add it the script doesnt show up in the browser.
[18:49] <guffe> Thanks...
[18:49] <PdUb101> can anyone recommend a good theme editor, or something i can use to apply themes in hardy?
[18:49] <livingdaylight> can someone hlep me with podcast in rhythmbox?
[18:50] <MrObvious> cameronh: lol... Hmm. DD-WRT works great here. I'm not sure why you would be having problems like that. :\
[18:50] <Lynet> livingdaylight: If you would tell us what exactly doesn't work. Sure..
[18:50] <TheOV> PdUb101: gnome-appearance-properties?
[18:50] <cameronh> MrObvious: my DD-WRT works fine, but the router in question isn't mine and doesn't have dd-wrt
[18:50] <Bits> Slart: what do you think about vadim's post @ http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/4641/
[18:50] <MrObvious> cameronh: Oh. Well fix that first. :p
[18:51] <flobbo> any help with a 3 monitor 2 video card x server configuration?
[18:51] <zippytech> what do you do when you boot to a busy box?
[18:51] <Flannel> tucuna: One large problem with wubi is the lack of robustness, if windows goes down, your Ubuntu goes down
[18:51] <cameronh> MrObvious: well considering it's some silly ISP provided appliance, i'll probably just have to write my own thing to maintain port mappings
[18:51] <livingdaylight> Lynet: i put in a feed and got errors
[18:52] <tucuna> Flannel - but only during install?
[18:52] <Lynet> livingdaylight: *what* errors.
[18:52] <PdUb101> TheOV, ive been trying to get that to work? and for some reason when i download a theme, and install it, it doesn't show up on my desktop/panels?
[18:52] <Slart> Bits: if it's nautilus hanging on to memory when it's not needed it's bad.. if the disk buffer cache being used then it's good..
[18:52] <MrObvious> cameronh: DMZ? :p
[18:52] <studente> m-c: Exacly
[18:52] <Bits> Slart: it worked.
[18:52] <Slart> Bits: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-255714.html
[18:52] <Bits> Slart: that command cleared all the memory that was in cache
[18:53] <Flannel> tucuna: What?  No.  All the time.  Wubi installs live inside a file on your Windows system
[18:53] <duude> hello duuuds
[18:53] <Lynet> !hello | duude
[18:53] <Slart> Bits: read that url.. it should clear up some things concerning buffers in linux
[18:53] <TheOV> PdUb101: when you install the theme, you have to select it in gnome-appearance properties. The theme may not show up as a complete theme, so then you would have to click "Customize", and find the theme in the "Controls" tab
[18:53] <studente> m-c: Exacly

[18:55] <Lynet> !es | livingdaylight
[18:55] <MrObvious> partner: In all seriousness, we don't do Windows support so you will have to try somewhere else. I will PM you a good website that has great support forums even though it is an overclocking website.
[18:55] <tucuna> [21:08] <xivulon> How does Wubi work?
[18:55] <tucuna> [21:08] <xivulon> Many think it is a virtual machine or similar
[18:55] <tucuna> [21:08] <xivulon> It is not
[18:55] <tucuna> [21:09] <xivulon> It is a 100% real installation
[18:55] <Flannel> tucuna: well, it is.  But yeah, it sits inside windows, and you can remove it with add/remove.  As far as booting and stuff, it boots normally.  It's just less robust due to it living inside NTFS, so if windows has FS corruption, so does your Ubuntu
[18:55] <FloodBot3> tucuna: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[18:55] <greenmanspirit_> is there any way to link your gnome main menu to openbox?

[18:56] <flobbo> Roughneck_cowboy: what's the problem?
[18:56] <MrObvious> partner: Hopefully you got it.
[18:56] <Flannel> tucuna: the bootloader boots to Ubuntu, and Ubuntu runs natively (with a small performance hit due to the loopback of the FS)

[18:57] <Kl4m> Cyndrework: Simply put, this website is broken. Try disabling javascript
[18:58] <Roughneck_cowboy> flobbo
[18:58] <Slart> Bits: some fans can be controlled by software.. if you know what chipsets are involved..
[18:58] <adac> is there a deb for grails?
[18:58] <flobbo> yes?
[18:58] <Roughneck_cowboy> I sent u a private messge
[18:58] <Cyndrework> Kl4m: will try that - hopefully they don't use js for navigation
[18:58] <Slart> Bits: I would search the ubuntu forums for your laptop model and manufacturer to see if anyone else has had the same problems.. there might be a finished solution out there for you
[18:58] <livingdaylight> Lynet: cual es tu idioma?
[18:59] <Lynet> livingdaylight: *when*? When you add the feed to rhythmbox? When you update the feed? When you try to download an episode from the feed?

[18:59] <Kl4m> Cyndrework: That's a really stupid way to check for browser. It was bound to break in the future.
[18:59] <Cyndrework> Kl4m: Any other suggestions?  They use js to handle login
[18:59] <Lynet> livingdaylight: Feed works fine for me in rhythmbox, just tested.
[18:59] <livingdaylight> Lynet: i add the feed in rhythmbox under podcast and i get that error when i try to play one of the podcasts
[18:59] <krammer_> how can upgrade to 8.04 from 7.10 i tried the update manager
[19:00] <livingdaylight> Lynet: that is really not fair :(
[19:00] <bobboy> my icons are not installing correctly
[19:01] <livingdaylight> Lynet: i'm not so familiar with podcasts is there another alternative, coz i'm getting errors from rhythmbox
[19:01] <Kl4m> Cyndrework: I'm looking for a way (interesting problem...)
[19:01] <Lynet> livingdaylight: Do other .mp3 files play back ok in rhythmbox?
[19:02] <krammer_> how can upgrade to 8.04 from 7.10 i tried the update manager
[19:02] <Slart> !upgrade | krammer_

[19:02] <Wilde_Sehnsucht> Hi. Something strange with "Network Settings" app at me. I've PPPoE ADSL modem. After adding proper settings to the connection manager the connection won't start.

[19:05] <krammer_> I felt borked as well, but then I realized i didnt know the system as much as I wanted too
[19:05] <stefo> hi all unix users!!!
[19:06] <krammer_> hi
[19:06] <recon69> Cyndrework: have to say, after 2 good years on 6.06 I went to 8.04 , while somethings are much improved I'v had many problems and some still on going, the only reason I changed was to get wireless net access.

[19:07] <bradley> hi room

[19:07] <diefordethklok> Can anyone help me on getting my headset mircrophone to work?
[19:08] <Grim76__> jyro: What mirror are you using for updates?  It looks like you have one that is not sync'd up.  You might want to change mirrors to see if the dep error resolves itself.
[19:08] <Jack_Sparrow> thepunisher they are nothing alike

[19:08] <Slart> !warez | keops
[19:08] <Cyndrework> recon69: So far my experience with ubuntu has been better then with windows xp and windows vista (up till this week only used linux for servers)
[19:08] <atlef> thepunisher: vbox
[19:08] <diefordethklok> thepunisher: wubi is an actual install, vbox is virtualization
[19:08] <jyro> grim76__: I'm not using the default mirror.  I didn't think of that.  Let me see if changing works.
[19:09] <atlef> thepunisher: but you can run the livecd as well

[19:10] <Jack_Sparrow> !broadcom
[19:10] <Cyndrework> avenged-revenge: Fresh install with nvidia driver (no hassles) enabled extra desktop appearance, told me I needed a driver, asked if I wanted to install it and it was done

[19:10] <flobbo> ok, I am trying to run 3 monitors with 2 nvidia cards and I am having problems getting this configured correctly. Can anyone help me? Please?
[19:10] <Cyndrework> flobbo google nvidia-settings ubuntu
[19:10] <blue-frog> Pxrbot: problem?
[19:10] <recon69> jyro : you could try uninstalled  gnome-desktop-data ( 1:2.22.2-0ubuntu1) and install  1:2.22.2-0ubuntu2 instead , but god know what you might break
[19:11] <naxa> hi. can you help me. network manager is frustrating. I am very annoyed with it. something why i would turn off ubuntu actually... is there alternate
[19:11] <mitchell> hello i need help
[19:11] <flobbo> Cyndrework: been there, done that.
[19:11] <Cyndrework> flobbo: once you install nvidia-settings (cant remember if it was yum or apt) its simple
[19:11] <thepunisher> how long does it take to resize ntfs?
[19:11] <flobbo> Cyndrework: yes, I am up to the point where I have all 3 screens running.
[19:11] <avenged-revenge> Cyndrework: thanks.
[19:12] <Jack_Sparrow> thepunisher The fuller it is.. the longer it will take
[19:12] <avenged-revenge> can anyone else chime in? nvidia vs ati on ubuntu?
[19:12] <Cyndrework> flobbo: okay, how do you have them setup?
[19:12] <flobbo> Cyndrework: the problem is that x is running slow and the top and bottom panels expand across 2 screens once the 3rd monitor is activated.
[19:12] <Jack_Sparrow> avenged-revenge nvidia
[19:12] <atlef> !ask > mitchell:

[19:13] <philsf> is it possible to leave kio-pop3 running if kmail/kontact is not?

[19:13] <flobbo> Cyndrework: 2 screens hooked up to 7900gtx, 1 screen hooked up to 8600gts. expansion of panels is not wanted and x server slow down is not wanted, lol, obviously.

[19:15] <flobbo> Cyndrework: the weird part is that when only the 2 main screens are running the way I want them too everything is fine., activating the 3rd one screws it up.
[19:15] <MrBashir> Is there a graphical user interface available for VSFTPD?
[19:15] <varaonaid> so does anyone know how I can get a working screen configuration?  I already use ubuntu on other computers and really don't want to have to switch distros :(

[19:18] <ron_> do you have 2 monitors working
[19:18] <flobbo> Cyndrework: I have 2 video cards and the "bigger" one holds the 2 main screens.
[19:18] <varaonaid> Jack_Sparrow: Hi.  Yeah, I can't even boot into gnome because it hangs and can't find a usable screen config
[19:18] <Psychlo> shouldn`t xubuntu mount all my partitions by default?
[19:18] <Cyndrework> flobbo: have you tried getting 1 monitor working on each card yet?
[19:18] <Jack_Sparrow> varaonaid What video card

[19:19] <mitchell> Jack_Sparrow: what is that?
[19:19] <keops> why not to the piracy?
[19:19] <varaonaid> Jack_Sparrow: Via Unichrome
[19:19] <flobbo> Cyndrework: interesting, haven't tried that. Just 2 on one card which works perfectly.
[19:19] <Jack_Sparrow> mitchell  in terminal   lsb_release -a               shows what release you are using..

[19:20] <keops> but arent we suposed to fight windows and their monopoly
[19:20] <keops> ?
[19:20] <varaonaid> Jack_Sparrow: I was able to do an apt-get from the term during boot to be sure that the unichrome drivers are installed and they already were
[19:20] <mitchell> Jack_Sparrow: ye i know but thats not my problem I use the last one the hardy
[19:20] <philsf> I just plugged my monitor in my laptop, and got it working with the same output. how can I use the monitor as an extension?

[19:21] <Jack_Sparrow> varaonaid vesa will get you 1024x768 just no effects
[19:21] <varaonaid> Jack_Sparrow: how do I force vesa?
[19:21] <DJones> cygoku: I've just upgraded 2 machines with no problems getting the updates, only took a few seconds
[19:22] <mitchell> Jack_Sparrow: i know sorry mate I was wrong mate! I'm using hardy
[19:22] <Jack_Sparrow> varaonaid try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[19:22] <Aragorn> isnt feisty faun supposed to expire or something ?
[19:22] <MrBashir> Who knows a FTPserver that has a graphical interface?
[19:22] <mitchell> Jack_Sparrow: can u tackle my prob?
[19:22] <philsf> I just plugged my monitor in my laptop, and got it working with the same output. how can I use the monitor as an extension?
[19:22] <obf213> anybody else had to start ubuntu a rediculous amount of times for 8.04. i'd say 30 percent of the time i suspend i get an error like keyboard not working on resume or totally black screen adn i have to restart

[19:22] <ron_> gproftpd
[19:23] <Jack_Sparrow> varaonaid sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  Select vesa as your video card and 1024 max res.  Use tab or enter to accept all other defaults

[19:23] <atlef> 466oiepp
[19:23] <Jack_Sparrow> mitchell are you dialup dsl or cable
[19:23] <ron_> works good quick and easy
[19:24] <Jack_Sparrow> mitchell wired or wireless
[19:24] <philsf> obf213: what changed?
[19:24] <ron_> use synaptics
[19:24] <Myrtti> Aragorn: 18 months after the release, if I remember correctly
[19:24] <cygoku> DJones, are you also updating using backported and proposed updates ?? Because here I have the same problem on 2 machines ... I had 42 updates this morning but only 14 were fetchable.
[19:24] <obf213> philsf, dunno have you tried the resolutions screen. maybe it will work on your laptop i dunno
[19:24] <mitchell> Jack_Sparrow: i use dsl wired
[19:24] <wastedyouth> Okay, I added proposed back to my sources and and found a new update.  One it was installed I was able to apt-get install ubuntu-desktop and now my panels are back
[19:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Aragorn yes there is a specific year month
[19:24] <KOJV> Noone with experience of i8k-utils?
[19:25] <mitchell> Jack_Sparrow: on dialup dsl
[19:25] <Jack_Sparrow> mitchell HAve you changed any sources
[19:25] <Aragorn> oh ok thanks
[19:25] <DJones> cygoku: Give me a minute while I check, certainly noy proposed updates, but I might have backports enabled
[19:25] <philsf> obf213: I don't mind messing with xorg.conf if it gets it work (I used xf86config and had to read monitor freqs in the manual, back in the day)
[19:25] <wastedyouth> So, how can I properly removed proposed and downgrade it?
[19:25] <Jack_Sparrow> mitchell it that some aol dsl thingy
[19:25] <mitchell> no nothing mate and this problem used also to accur in gutsy
[19:25] <flobbo> Cyndrework: well, I have 1 screen per video card running now. Definitely a slow down noticable and the main screen is acting a bit weird but it works.
[19:26] <Cyndrework> flobbo: now try enabling the third display

[19:27] <philsf> obf213: k, thanks anyway
[19:27] <Jack_Sparrow> imagine Not all themes are complete, not all will work... especially if you are running effects
[19:27] <imagine> ok man ;)
[19:28] <DJones> cygoku: no, just checked, i've just got the default repo's enabled, i'm using the united kingdom server, it might be worth changing servers and also updating synaptic in case there's an old update thats been replaced
[19:28] <fde> wastedyouth: can you try 'sudo aptitude install ubuntu-desktop' for me? it may or may not have some logic with using older versions of packages.
[19:28] <imagine> so how can i do to get those which works...
[19:28] <flobbo> Cyndrework: same crap as before, x is slow and the panels expand across 2 screens. doh.
[19:28] <varaonaid> Jack_Sparrow: as I'm going through the reconfigure accepting defaults, it quits in the middle of the keyboard choices with the error "xserver-xorg postinst warning: overwriting possibly-customised configuration file; backup in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.20080520142605" so I never get the chance to change the video drivers
[19:28] <Jack_Sparrow> imagine All I do is trial and error. best luck with gtk2 themes for me
[19:28] <gmonnerat> someone know why my ubuntu 8.04 doesn't diminish or increase the brightness of the screen?
[19:28] <perillux> is there a way to print text to an existing image via a shell script?
[19:29] <imagine> lol
[19:29] <mitchell> fde: my prob is when I start downloading something and i leave my pc downloading over night, in the morning i find it without network and i cannot even ping my modem! In the past this used to accur and I used sudo /etc/init.d/netowrking restart to regain network but now this isn;t working anymore! I have to restar
[19:29] <mitchell> restart
[19:29] <imagine> Jack_Sparrow so ? what can i do  ;)
[19:29] <Jack_Sparrow> varaonaid It is supposed to overwrite the old config as that is what you want to do.
[19:29] <Xpisto1> Is anybody else having issues with Heron?
[19:29] <Jack_Sparrow> imagine keep trying
[19:29] <wastedyouth> fde: yes I can give me a sec
[19:29] <fde> mitchell: hmm... I have never used dialup with Linux.
[19:30] <cygoku> DJones, how do I change the server ?
[19:30] <wastedyouth> fde: It says it is already the newest version.  But I"m noticing I can't install evolution and it isn't there
[19:30] <Jack_Sparrow> mitchell Dialup and linux are not a good combo
[19:30] <varaonaid> Jack_Sparrow: I understand that, I want it to, but it only does the keyboard before giving me that error and abruptly ending.  I never get to the video card editing.
[19:30] <perillux> is there a way to print text to an existing image via a shell script?
[19:30] <imagine> Jack_Sparrow nice ok man but tell me plz what do u  do to get new look for ur ubuntu os
[19:31] <Jack_Sparrow> varaonaid then you have deeper problems than just your res
[19:31] <cygoku> DJones, found it,...
[19:31] <fde> wastedyouth: When it removed gnome-panel it should have removed ubuntu-desktop cuz of deps... strange...
[19:31] <Aragorn> Okay, so when Ubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) releases in October, Feisty Fawn will expire. So I have plenty of time :]
[19:31] <fde> wastedyouth: dpkg -l gnome-panel please
[19:31] <Xpisto1> I am actually getting more crashes with heron than with my xp partition
[19:31] <Xpisto1> lame
[19:31] <Pici> perillux: Something within the imagemagick package might be able to do that.
[19:31] <Jack_Sparrow> imagine PIck a gtk2 theme and drag and drop it onto the open theme manager
[19:31] <Cyndrework> flobbo: sorry I cant help you.  Only 1 video card, sorry
[19:31] <mitchell> fde: its a DSL connection e
[19:31] <imagine> ok man
[19:31] <imagine> tnks ;)
[19:31] <flobbo> Cyndrework: No problemo dude, thanks for the help anyways.
[19:31] <fde> mitchell: Still, I've only ever used cable modems... which is easier... heh
[19:31] <mitchell> fde:not a 56k one
[19:31] <Jack_Sparrow> Xpisto1 Please ask a question and avoid the discussion
[19:32] <fde> mitchell: DSL is much slower than cable in most situations too...
[19:32] <wastedyouth> HOw do I show the results without spamming the channel fde?
[19:32] <mitchell> fde: hmm but i don;t think hats the issue though

[19:33] <Leif> Hi. I just upgraded to Hardy Heron (8.04) and /dev/hda, /dev/hdb and /dev/hdc just disappeared. Anyone got any ideas on what happened?
[19:33] <recon69> Xpisto1: crashing all over the place for me , kernel locksup and more. had 3 lockups today
[19:33] <varaonaid> Jack_Sparrow: should I give up on Ubuntu then?  It's a clean install of Hardy on a freshly partitioned HD and it's never booted into Ubuntu.
[19:33] <fde> mitchell: I want to know why ubuntu-desktop is even still installed... heh... I'm not having the issue, so I want to know what exactly is wrong to more easily diagnose.

[19:34] <l815> how do i install kde 4.0.1 without installing all the extra kubuntu stuff?
[19:34] <fde> wastedyouth: dpkg -l evolution | grep ^ii ... it has to be there... it's a dep of ubuntu-desktop also.
[19:35] <varaonaid> Jack_Sparrow: it's a laptop so I'm not sure it's the easiest to swap out - if so, it's above my level of knowledge.
[19:35] <Zozma> don't you want all the kubuntu stuff? (I don't know anytihng about kubuntu so...)
[19:35] <recon69> varaonaid: do you have a link to your post

[19:40] <SliMM> i have a problem with booting ubuntu
[19:40] <wastedyouth> fde: okay
[19:40] <SliMM> from the CD
[19:40] <fde> mitchell: You're welcome... I'm just another user though, I've just been using the system longer than many, and enjoy helping people.
[19:40] <wastedyouth> fde: its already not checked
[19:40] <Jack_Sparrow> SliMM At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[19:40] <adac> Is there are grails .deb somewhere?
[19:41] <fde> wastedyouth: ok... please sudo aptitude update ... then try installing evolution again
[19:41] <gaintsura> Jack_Sparrow: I've had problems with a lot of linux live distros, have to always disable acpi before boot
[19:41] <SliMM> Jack_Sparrow: the problem is with the bios, it doesn't boot from CD
[19:41] <fde> wastedyouth: same error?
[19:41] <gaintsura> SliMM: you need to set your bios boot order tehn
[19:41] <gaintsura> then*
[19:41] <varaonaid> recon69: it goes to recovery menu resure, root, xfix
[19:41] <SliMM> Jack_Sparrow: i have just bought a new hdd and installed it
[19:41] <wastedyouth> fde: Yes, same error
[19:41] <SliMM> gaintsura: that'st the problem, it is set
[19:41] <Wilde_Sehnsucht> experiencing problems with "Network Settings" utility.  Checkbox disappears after blinking. It worked on Ubuntu Live CD but doesn't on installed one. Any suggestions?
[19:41] <sgmadison> i have downloaded ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-server, I cannot boot ubuntu-server installs fine to the command line but no desktop manager will work, ubuntu-desktop also installs fine but after the loading screen goes to a black screen, same from livecd - this is an optiplex 745 that has installed debian and linuxmint just fine - any ideas?
[19:41] <SliMM> gaintsura: and it worked just fine before i bought the hdd
[19:41] <Wilde_Sehnsucht> *turned ON
[19:42] <harrmadd> Hi everyone - brand-spankin to Linux here - trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 from CD using the "Install inside Windows" option - I can get as far as "creating image..." and then it gives me a message saying "cannot access disc" ... any ideas?
[19:42] <Grim76__> wastedyouth: Just for grins can you try a different mirror?
[19:42] <gaintsura> SliMM: verify that, most systems have a boot menu you can select at bios POST, for my laptop its F12
[19:42] <Gaming4JC> hey all :)
[19:42] <mitchell> fde: we much appreciate
[19:42] <gaintsura> SliMM: if you can get to the manual boot menu, you can select boot from cd
[19:42] <wastedyouth> Grim76__: Can you suggest a mirror?
[19:42] <Jack_Sparrow> SliMM you need some sort of bootable media or put the hd in a different box
[19:42] <Gaming4JC> I have a problem...
[19:42] <Gaming4JC> my Winmodem
[19:42] <Gaming4JC> :P
[19:42] <gaintsura> ...
[19:42] <Gaming4JC> major perdicament
[19:42] <FloodBot3> Gaming4JC: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[19:42] <SliMM> gaintsura: how can i enter the manual boot menu?
[19:42] <gaintsura> did you say MODEM?
[19:43] <varaonaid> recon69: I tried using the xfix option but it didn't seem to help
[19:43] <ron_> whats the fix to a busy box
[19:43] <SliMM> Jack_Sparrow: it's a hardy cd, it's bootable
[19:43] <gaintsura> SliMM: try the F() keys at bios POST
[19:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Gaming4JC Save yourself some headache.. get a real modem or dsl...
[19:43] <roger> #ubuntu-br
[19:43] <SliMM> ok
[19:43] <Grim76__> wastedyouth: Try the main update server.  I have had a similar problem and when I went back to the default update server it went away.
[19:43] <fde> wastedyouth: mkdir debs && cd debs && sudo apt-get -d install evolution evolution-common evolution-data-server ... this will result in new directory 'debs' from where you run the command and populate it with 3 .debs
[19:43] <SliMM> gaintsura: any key to start with, except f8?
[19:43] <Jack_Sparrow> SliMM Does it work in another machine?
[19:43] <Gaming4JC> How do I convert this to deb file without internet access? Or could some one kindly do it. :)
[19:43] <Gaming4JC> http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux/pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-9.tar.gz
[19:43] <gaintsura> SliMM: F8 is your bios config menu?
[19:43] <SliMM> Jack_Sparrow: it does, it's an ordered CD
[19:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Gaming4JC rht = redhat as in rpm
[19:44] <SliMM> gaintsura: no, DEL is, but i have already tried f8
[19:44] <mynyml> i'm probably pushing my luck, but does anyone here have an HPPavillion tx1000z?
[19:44] <varaonaid> recon69: resume normal boot stops on running local boot scripts (/etc/rc.local) and gives me a prompt
[19:44] <gaintsura> SliMM: ok, at boot just run through the F keys
[19:44] <wastedyouth> fde: okay I will try that thank for all your help btw
[19:44] <gaintsura> you'll find it
[19:44] <SliMM> gaintsura: ok
[19:44] <Gaming4JC> they say it works on Ubuntu as well as RH
[19:45] <Pxrbot> anyone any good with ubuntu recognising hardware? because it seems like it isnt recognising my broadcom wireless...
[19:45] <Gaming4JC> but I've heard I need "alien" compiler to convert it... seeing I don't have internet access I can't use the downloader in Ubuntu to get it...
[19:45] <Gaming4JC> :(
[19:45] <fde> wastedyouth: Once they've downloaded, type 'ls' ... if you see them, type: dpkg -i --force-depends *.deb
[19:46] <Xpisto1> So, is anyone else having trouble with heron crashing. I am trying to decide if I am going to reinstall heron or go back to gibbon?\
[19:46] <Jack_Sparrow> !alien | Gaming4JC
[19:46] <Gaming4JC> eww...
[19:46] <gaintsura> hey Jack_Sparrow: do you know how to configure a webcam in ubuntu hardy?
[19:46] <xinen007> I am xinen007!
[19:46] <Gaming4JC> what about this? http://linmodems.technion.ac.il/pctel-linux/pctel-0.9.7-9-rht-6_for_Ubuntu-2.6.15-23-386.tgz :)
[19:46] <legend2440> Gaming4JC: just run setup    ./setup
[19:47] <Gaming4JC> where do I run it.. Terminal Window?
[19:47] <wastedyouth> fde: i see the directory but its empty and showed the same error let me make sure I typed it right
[19:47] <legend2440> Gaming4JC: yes
[19:47] <Gaming4JC> ok :)
[19:47] <Gaming4JC> and another modem... umm
[19:47] <Gaming4JC> Lucent LT Winmodem, PCI
[19:47] <fde> wastedyouth: don't worry about it, I need to re-think the command to tell you, hold on
[19:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Gaming4JC almost any external non-usb modem will work
[19:48] <legend2440> Gaming4JC: you did extract the archive right?
[19:48] <Gaming4JC> I found a site here, but I don't see any Ubutnu support... http://www.geocities.com/jcmp3/ You know which one would be good
[19:48] <Gaming4JC> legend2440: I'm on Windows now, I'll go back to Ubuntu when I have everything. :)
[19:48] <Gaming4JC> not yet, in other words
[19:48] <Kl4m> Gaming4JC: that stuff is too old
[19:48] <Gaming4JC> but I need to know how to do it all offline in Ubuntu to get me going. Hope all works. :D
[19:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Gaming4JC get the ubuntu dvd as it has the main repo included
[19:49] <Gaming4JC> ok
[19:49] <xinen007> 大家好！有中国人没有？
[19:49]  * gaintsura kicks his network
[19:50] <SliMM> gaintsura: none of the f keys worked
[19:50] <xinen007> 这个挺好玩的。。。
[19:50]  * Gaming4JC hopes the Ubuntu build works in the mean time...
[19:50] <gaintsura> SliMM: try insert?
[19:50] <nickrud> !cn | xinen007
[19:50] <Eagleguy125> Is this the appropriate channel for problems with grub?
[19:50] <Gaming4JC> hmm... where can I get Lucent LT Winmdoem, PCI drivers then? If the site I had was that old...
[19:50] <fde> wastedyouth: from that some dir please type: sudo aptitude download evolution evolution-common evolution-data-server
[19:51] <lunaphyte_> i'm running lsof -i TCP as a non root user to obtain process numbers for open ports, but i get no output. i see in the security section of the man page the comments regarding this - according to the output of lsof -h : "Anyone can list all files; /dev warnings disabled; kernel ID check disabled."  what am i missing?
[19:51] <kajo> Um... problem.... Some stray keystroke/mouseclick just made my firefox window go about 90% transparent. Anyone have any idea what caused this?
[19:51] <gaintsura> SliMM: if you cant find the key, I would suggest looking at your hardware documentation to find out what key the boot menu is
[19:51] <kajo> I'd google it, but...
[19:51] <kajo> ....heh...
[19:51] <recon69> varaonaid: well, can only suggest checking out what vedio card/chipset your laptop got and checking for driver issues , also try recreate you xorg.config file , there is hope though http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=14025&highlight=Averatec+3225hs
[19:51] <wastedyouth> fde: okay its downloading 2 mins eta
[19:51] <Pici> lunaphyte_: You want netstat, not lsof.  -tanp is the general arguments that  I ususally use.
[19:51] <SliMM> gaintsura: that's impossible.. the PC is 6 years old, i can't find the manuals
[19:52] <Gaming4JC> *cough* ehmm..
[19:52] <Jack_Sparrow> varaonaid Can you get to grub menu?
[19:52] <gaintsura> SliMM: what motherboard?
[19:52] <PdUb101> ok i need some help please, im trying to get themes to install, when i go into appearance and select install, and i browse to the folder, it just keeps opening up folders till theres nothing there.. am i doing something wrong?
[19:52] <nickrud> lunaphyte_ it only gives you your users outgoing without sudo
[19:52] <frogmeat> Hi all
[19:53] <Gaming4JC> hi
[19:53]  * gaintsura moves his laptop and hopes he doesnt lose the connection *praying*
[19:53] <Jack_Sparrow> varaonaid There are some options to try   noapic acpi=off, pci=irqroute, xmodule=vesa, vga=normal, vga=771, vga=791, pci=irqroute, framebuffer=false, ide=nodma, nomce, pnpbios=off, xdrvr=vesa, res=800x600, apm=off,pci=noapci, nolapic, all_generic_ide, nolapic, pci=assign-busses, pci=irqpoll, pci=biosirq, pnpbios=off, hpet=disable
[19:53] <sgmadison> not trying to spam, just hoping to get this resolved, i have downloaded ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-server, I cannot boot ubuntu-server installs fine to the command line but no desktop manager will work, ubuntu-desktop also installs fine but after the loading screen goes to a black screen, same from livecd - this is an optiplex 745 that has installed debian and linuxmint just fine - any ideas?
[19:53] <fde> wastedyouth: once that's done... sudo cp /var/cache/apt/archive/evolution* /where/that/debs/dir/was ... then pastebin the output of ls within that dir (we need to remove some first...)
[19:53] <Bits> when I right-click in nautilus and choose "create document", it tells me that there are no templates installed. how can I add templates?
[19:54] <SliMM> gaintsura: intel?
[19:54] <Pici> sgmadison: ubuntu-server has no gui, its all CLI by default.
[19:54] <lunaphyte_> Pici: netstat won't return pids unless you're root.
[19:54] <wastedyouth> fde: okay working on it
[19:54] <sgmadison> pici: i'm aware, i tried to install a gui it didn't work, and ubuntu-desktop won't boot
[19:54] <varaonaid> Jack_Sparrow: do you mean at boot?  If so, yes, I can get to the initial grub menu
[19:54] <varitech> hello
[19:54] <lunaphyte_> nickrud: ah, ok.
[19:54] <frogmeat> Ima Nub, and I tried to do something nubs should not do,  tried installing Xen, and it is not working out well.  It needs to restart to finish the install, it of course added a line to grub (I use grub)   It times out in the bootup and just loops, I need to backup my grub to prior the attempted install.  Is there a way to just delete the line on grub?
[19:54] <N8ESK> I have lost both of my desktop panels and cannot do anything select anything except a folder I have mounted on mydesktop.
[19:55] <fde> wastedyouth: sorry this is such a pain... please ensure you never let update-manager remove anything you don't want ever again though, alright?  :D
[19:55] <fde> don't want it to*
[19:55] <Jack_Sparrow> varaonaid You can try those or use recovery mode or livecd and edit xorg
[19:55] <kajo> Can anyone please help me? My firefox went transparent because of a stray keystroke/mouseclick or something.... how the heck can I make it opaque again?
[19:55] <Wifi> help help help! I uninstalled Evolution and now when i start ubuntu i just ahve the desktop icons displayed, and not the taskbar and the panel on the top, and the system freezes :(i cant do nothing please help
[19:56] <legend2440> frogmeat: in terminal type              gksu gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:56] <wastedyouth> fde: hehe I will never trust update-manager again
[19:56] <nickrud> sgmadison you probably will se a clue about why X is not starting properly in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[19:56] <lmosher_> I just, for the first time, got my laptop to boot in kernel 2.6.24. Was giving a hard-drive related error, but I had to disable my onboard LAN as the solution (weird)
[19:56] <frogmeat> Kajo: hit ALT and third mouse button to roll back
[19:56] <wastedyouth> fde: i dont mind my ubuntu breaking it gives me an opportunity to learn something
[19:56] <Intrelude> where is the edubuntu channel?
[19:56] <lmosher_> ANYWAY, New kernel 2.6.24-17 FINALLY lets me use suspend-to-ram. However, on restore my USB mouse isn't working. Any ideas?
[19:56] <Intrelude> oh..hi all
[19:56] <fde> wastedyouth: heh... that's how I learned  :)
[19:56]  * nickrud puts a cookie on layaway for frogmeat
[19:56] <varaonaid> Jack_Sparrow: recovery mode doesn't seem to work well and the livecd doesn't boot either.  But I managed to use nano from the prompt to open xorg.conf.  Just had no idea what to change at that point or how.
[19:56] <wastedyouth> fde: it says there is no /var/cache/apt/archive/evolution*
[19:57] <Jack_Sparrow> varaonaid That laptop seems to have many issues
[19:57] <kajo> frogmeat, alt+3rd mouse button is something I was toying with, so this is probably the solution, but alt+3rd mouse button doesn't actually fix anything...
[19:57] <wastedyouth> fde: oh, i jusat dont know what I"m doing hehe
[19:57] <fde> wastedyouth: ls /var/cache/apt/archive/evo[tab key repeatedly till it displays something] ... then show me that  :)
[19:57] <Gaming4JC> Umm
[19:58] <fde> wastedyouth: haha
[19:58] <Gaming4JC> if there is no dirvers
[19:58] <Gaming4JC> anyone know where I can buy Modems for Linux?
[19:58] <kajo> frogmeat, I figured it out.... AWESOME!
[19:58] <fde> wastedyouth: It's easier to move them still ignore that last comment from me.
[19:58] <Gaming4JC> lol I called my ISP and they said they had no idea what one was or where to get them
[19:58] <gordonjcp> Gaming4JC: what kind of modems?
[19:58] <Gaming4JC> Internal if possible
[19:58] <Gaming4JC> PCI
[19:58] <wastedyouth> fde: oh btw I'm 64 bit should I have mentioned that sooner?
[19:58] <nickrud> Gaming4JC most anywhere, zoom makes decent ones (or did) . Just make sure it has an 'onboard uart'
[19:58] <frogmeat> kajo: also next time you could just go into window options and turn off window graphics
[19:58] <Gaming4JC> I've been googling for 2 days
[19:58] <gordonjcp> Gaming4JC: a modem for what, though?
[19:59] <Gaming4JC> can't find a good modem... :(
[19:59] <gordonjcp> radio, cable?
[19:59] <Gaming4JC> simple Dial-UP, PCI
[19:59] <fde> wastedyouth: irrelevant right now :)
[19:59] <gordonjcp> Gaming4JC: oh
[19:59] <tomi> help help help! I uninstalled Evolution and now when i start ubuntu i just ahve the desktop icons displayed, and not the taskbar and the panel on the top, and the system freezes :(i cant do nothing please help
[19:59] <tarsin> hello, i have an IBM pc i am trying to install ubuntu 8.04 on.  during the installation process, after i select that i want to boot into the live cd (or install) it drops down into Busybox prompt in part of what appears to be the initramfs.  no error messages are displayed on either that virtual term (8) or the main terminal window...  it seems that the initfs is having difficulty recongizing hardware?? anyone have a suggestion?
[19:59] <wastedyouth> pde: am I copying these to the /debs directory we created ot the other way around?
[19:59] <fde> wastedyouth: that's why I used aptitude rather than pointed you at files
[19:59] <varaonaid> Jack_Sparrow: oddly enough, I tried a couple of other distros and Mandriva, for instance works like a charm getting wireless, sound, screen all perfectly without help from me on the livecd.  So I'm now sure now if it's the laptop or the distro that I'm having issues with.  I guess I'll just have to use a different distro for that lappy, I just love ubuntu on my current setup and didn't really want to change. :(
[19:59] <gordonjcp> Gaming4JC: you might be able to buy one in 1993
[19:59] <kajo> frogmeat, I can do this with ANY window?!?!!?!?? THIS IS SO COOL.
[19:59] <fde> wastedyouth: copying them to that dir.
[19:59] <Gaming4JC> gordonjcp: lol...  It's currently <IP_ADDRESS> behind the router, and I want it to be something else, like <IP_ADDRESS>
[20:01] <gordonjcp> Gaming4JC: does anyone even do dialup internet access any more?
[20:01] <gaintsura> SliMM: hang on, sorry was looking for a phone number
[20:01] <SliMM> gaintsura: it's allright
[20:01] <gaintsura> SliMM: I need to know the mfg/model of the motherboard in the PC
[20:01] <gordonjcp> sa125: you can either set it manually with the network control panel, or you can force the router to serve it a different address
[20:01] <legend2440> frogmeat: delete what?
[20:01] <Dr_Link> In the Sound manager, I have set up to Ensoniq AudioPCI (which is the ONLY PCI one listed, I have integrated sound disabled and the speakers plugged into the sound card
[20:01] <Gaming4JC> gordonjcp: Yes, a lot of ISP's still have Dial-UP. :)
[20:01] <kajo> frogmeat, this is perfect, I can make firefox just *lightly* transparent with that option, and so watch xchat in the background for red without having to alt+tab to it. Same with pidgin.
[20:02] <gordonjcp> Gaming4JC: hmm
[20:02] <wastedyouth> fde: there is only evolution-data-server-common_2.22.2-0ubuntu1_all.deb in the /var...archives
[20:02] <frogmeat> legend2440: the Xen modules in grub
[20:02] <Dr_Link> when I play a test sound, I hear a "beeeeeeeeep" from the speakers. When I play any other sound, such as that from a .avi file or from .mp3 files that I know work, because I previously could use sound... I hear silence.
[20:02] <Dr_Link> What's my issue here?
[20:02] <SliMM> gaintsura: how can i find out that?
[20:02] <gordonjcp> Gaming4JC: I can't even remember the last time I used a dialup modem, it was at least five years ago
[20:02] <Gaming4JC> :-|
[20:02] <gordonjcp> Gaming4JC: where are you?
[20:02] <legend2440> frogmeat: i would comment them out wit # in front of lines
[20:02] <fde> wastedyouth: what about in the debs dir?
[20:02] <wastedyouth> fde: so there are now 4 debs in the deb directory
[20:02] <Gaming4JC> USA, nowheresville lol
[20:03] <frogmeat> kajo: it's nice to be giving back in here, even if just a little lol, I come in with questions all the time.
[20:03] <Dr_Link> or does ANYONE here use sound?
[20:03] <gordonjcp> Gaming4JC: ah, bit far then - I've got a bunch of old external modems in a box up the loft
[20:03]  * Gaming4JC they don't even Provide DSL or Cable here yet
[20:03] <frogmeat> legend2440: yeah, that makes sense, thanks
[20:03] <Dr_Link> because obviously I can't.
[20:03] <bonhoffer> anyone know how to kill a job: as in  >>jobs  produces [1]+  Running                 svn update &
[20:03] <sa125> gordonjcp: how do I set it manually? I tried looking through the network settings gui but got lost
[20:03] <gordonjcp> Gaming4JC: but you'd need to come to Scotland for them, which is probably not really worth it
[20:03] <bonhoffer> i thought it was kill %1
[20:03] <bonhoffer> but that doesn't work (it also doesn't return an error)
[20:03] <fde> wastedyouth: that's probably fine... leave it there and type: dpkg -i --force-depends *.deb within that dir
[20:03] <wastedyouth> fde: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15849/ thats the deb directory
[20:03] <kajo> frogmeat, yeah, I know what you mean. I'm in the same boat. :)
[20:04] <fde> wastedyouth: uhh... sudo that
[20:04] <wastedyouth> fde: okay its installing
[20:04] <gaintsura> SliMM: pop open the case and look around on the mobo, there should be some model numbers on it, as long as I have those I can find the rest out
[20:04] <gordonjcp> sa125: open "Network Settings", unlock it, click on the connection you want to change, and set it to "Static IP Address"
[20:04] <wastedyouth> fde: has dependency problems
[20:04] <frogmeat> legend2440: now I noticed that xen is still getting updates through the manager, and it is not listed in the add/remove screen, is there a way to get rid of xen from the update list, if there is something like that
[20:05] <wastedyouth> fde: but says it installed it anyways
[20:05] <fde> wastedyouth: yeah, but it'll install anyways now... we can ignore them because it's just a new build, not a new version entirely...
[20:05] <N8ESK> Help please, I have lost my both my standard panels and can't do anything but access a folder that is mounted on my desktop.
[20:05] <frogmeat> legend2440: and each time it updates it adds a new line to grub and reboots, goes back into the loop again
[20:05]  * Gaming4JC so would anyone know where to actually get Winmodem drivers at? Seems it should be easy to find but it's not. (googled for 2 days)
[20:05] <fde> wastedyouth: You should be all set now... for proof, fire up Evolution  :)
[20:05] <ijusten> How do I mount a partition on startup? I've tried to read manuals but I just can't do it! Presently I can click the partition in the computer:// and it opens, but I wish to see it on the desktop on startup
[20:06] <ijusten> I'm hoping there's some box somewhere I can cross
[20:06] <Slart> ijusten: add it to /etc/fstab
[20:06] <frogmeat> N8ESK: can you still right click on the desktop and get info that way?
[20:06] <Slart> !fstab | ijusten
[20:06] <Eri1> ok. finally made it. allright. VERY simple problem here. i'll explain as much as I can. my standard p/s2 mouse (very generic, not usb, it is trackball....) hasn't worked on the live cd, or my main install. its a clean install of ubuntu, onto a pentium 4.... and there's never been any problems with it on windows xp... my question is... where the heck do i even start (I am an extreme noob) where do i start to fix this problem?!
[20:06] <ijusten> slart, I've been trying to do fstab for two hours now
[20:06] <ijusten> can you take a peek?
[20:06] <wastedyouth> fde: it says its missing libraries
[20:06] <Slart> ijusten: sure.. pastebin it?
[20:06] <Slart> !paste | ijusten
[20:06] <fde> wastedyouth: can you paste the output for me?

[20:07] <Dr_Link> when I play a test sound, I hear a "beeeeeeeeep" from the speakers. When I play any other sound, such as that from a .avi file or from .mp3 files that I know work, because I previously could use sound... I hear silence.

[20:07] <jonlanglois> If anybody was here earlier, and recalls my asking about a little X "hiccup" that was happening every four seconds on my recent Hardy upgrade, FYI I got it resolved.
[20:07] <frogmeat> N8ESK: first lets make sure those files are not hidden, CTRL-H on your desktop

[20:07] <Ayabara> After installing Vista I had to restore grub and manually add Vista to menu.lst. On kernel upgrades I get a question if I want to overwrite the modified version with the "package maintainers version". I did that and readded Vista afterwards. Is there something I can to to avoid having to repeat this step every time a new kernel is released?
[20:07] <gaintsura> SliMM: thanks, hang on
[20:07] <Slart> !paste | ijusten!, READ THIS!!!..
[20:07] <BLKNITE> hey all
[20:07] <Jack_Sparrow> jonlanglois Do you have a link for reference
[20:08] <wastedyouth> fde: oh thats not the result of the first command you wanna see that one?
[20:08] <fde> wastedyouth: Ahh, I didn't say install it again... we installed it... I said run the program.
[20:08] <BLKNITE> did anyone get vmware workstation 603 working...I am trying to install on my desktop and I am getting module error
[20:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Ayabara not really
[20:08] <fde> wastedyouth: preferably from the terminal
[20:08] <frogmeat> legend2440: 2.6.24-17-generic
[20:08] <Spaisezor> ok. i cant get my card reader working on my Dell xps m1710, does anyone have an idea on how i can do this?
[20:08] <wastedyouth> fde: evolution: error while loading shared libraries: liblpint-bonobo.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[20:08] <N8ESK> frogmeat: that didn't do anything
[20:08] <Eri1> my standard p/s2 3-button mouse doesn't work at all in ubuntu. how do i fix this?! I'm extremely noob, so take it easy on me. if ANYONE can help.....
[20:09] <Ayabara> Jack_Sparrow: ok. I'll enter "learn to live with it" mode then :-)
[20:09] <frogmeat> N8ESK: do you use grub or lilo?
[20:09] <Spaisezor> ok. i cant get my card reader working on my Dell xps m1710, does anyone have an idea on how i can do this? ohh and im running ubuntu 8.04
[20:09] <Jack_Sparrow> Spaisezor Most of those are propietary ...  easy solution is to buy an $5 external
[20:09] <frogmeat> N8ESK: what was the last thing you did before this happened?
[20:09] <wastedyouth> fde: should I apt-get -f install?
[20:09] <Eri1> i've been reading up on this for a week in the forums with no luck at finding anything specifically pertinant to solving this.
[20:09] <ijusten> http://paste.ubuntu.com/15851/ <so, sda1, what am I doing wrong?
[20:09] <sa125> gordonjcp: thanks!
[20:09] <jonlanglois> Well, it wasn't really an X problem.  Turns out, the x11vnc install with Hardy has a problem, and I had it set up in /etc/gdm/Init to run with -loop.  Every four seconds, it was trying to connect to my X display, and was getting s bad symbol error.
[20:09] <legend2440> frogmeat: ok then it is safe to uninstall xen if you want  open synaptic and open search and search for xen.
[20:09] <fde> wastedyouth: try it, I think it'll remove a bunch of stuff though.
[20:10] <Spaisezor> jack_sparrow: i dont want to, i have a perfectly working one here
[20:10] <Spaisezor> just need to work out how to mount it
[20:10] <Eri1> anyone?
[20:10] <Gaming4JC> hmm no drivers = no ubuntu. Strangest thing is LinucConsole detected it out of the box...
[20:10] <Spaisezor> i shuld compile some drivers then, i cant seem to find anything about it
[20:10] <Gaming4JC> *Linux
[20:10] <jonlanglois> Fixing vnc was on my to-do list--just after I figured out what the hiccup was all about.  :-/
[20:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Spaisezor Works fine in windows as it has the propietary drivers..
[20:10] <Spaisezor> yeah
[20:11] <N8ESK> frogmeat: I am not sure, I just installed ubuntu and am a newbie.  I installed from the download page at  the Ubuntr site so whatever that supplies.
[20:11] <wastedyouth> fde: sweet I got it
[20:11] <Eri1> anyone know anything about fixing the ps2 mouse problem with ubuntu?
[20:11] <Jack_Sparrow> !pm | tomi
[20:11] <Spaisezor> theres np with it in windows, just want to use it in ubuntu, as i only use windows for gaming, and i cba to reboot everytime i need to use my card reader
[20:11] <fde> wastedyouth: all working?
[20:11] <_PeterParker_> does someone has a RicoH SD Card Reader working?
[20:11] <wastedyouth> fde: after running that command it removed what we installed so I reinstalled it and now its working
[20:12] <wastedyouth> fde: thanks so much for your assistance
[20:12] <fde> wastedyouth: haha
[20:12] <frogmeat> N8ESK: Sorry mate, that one is beyond me, perhaps someone else can help
[20:12] <wastedyouth> fde: it all looks okay I don't see what else I broke yet =)
[20:12] <fde> wastedyouth: I don't get it... but hey, it's working  :)
[20:12] <Dr_Link> I'm assuming no one knows.
[20:12] <wastedyouth> fde: me either.. now I'm afraid to touch it
[20:12] <N8ESK> I was moving some launchers around.  Earlier i deleted Evolution and Pidgin using the synaptic program.
[20:12] <fde> wastedyouth: You mean you installed via aptitude again... or via dpkg?
[20:12] <Dr_Link> about my sound issue.

[20:14] <fde> wastedyouth: If you happen to have any further issues... it'll be rather similar to fix...
[20:14]  * wastedyouth goes to wee

[20:16] <frogmeat> legend2440: heh, removing xen took out the problems in grub by itself, thnaks man... nice to be able ot bott right back into desktop again

[20:17] <j1solutions> hello all
[20:17] <Gaming4JC> hi
[20:17] <N8ESK> The "alt-F2 did not help
[20:17] <gaintsura> SliMM: according to a few resources, F12 should be the bootmenu
[20:17] <amrik> N8ESK: ctrl+alt+f2?
[20:18] <j1solutions> i'm getting ready for a fresh install on a new drive (hardy)
[20:18] <SliMM> gaintsura: thee bootmenu? like that thing that asks just where to boot from?
[20:18] <gaintsura> SliMM: its either F12, or F9
[20:18] <legend2440> N8ESK: a box does not pop up when Alt+F2 pressed?
[20:18] <SliMM> gaintsura: none worked :(
[20:18] <gaintsura> SliMM: yes, it will allow you to select the CD to be booted from
[20:18] <Eri1> ps2 mouse problem.... ubuntu will not... hell, i don't know. my simple generic boring mouse, not usb, very standard mouse will not work at all. there's nothing pertinant on the forums about this. how do i fix this? anyone? help?
[20:18] <BLKNITE> can someone help me with a vmware install
[20:18] <SliMM> gaintsura: i'll give it another try
[20:18] <BLKNITE> I cannot seemes to get this package to intsall
[20:19] <Jack_Sparrow> Eri1 I had problems with a logitec mx mouse.. just would not work right
[20:19] <Eri1> i don't even know where to start on how to fix this.
[20:19] <wastedyouth> I still love my ubuntu despite what it did to me today
[20:19] <Eri1> i've spent 10 years studying windows. i'm clueless about this.
[20:19] <gaintsura> legend2440: the Alt+F2... is there a way to change that shortcut?
[20:20] <Jack_Sparrow> Eri1 Dont beat yourself up over a $5 problem
[20:20] <fde> wastedyouth: haha... technically, it just asked you if it could do something bad, and you let it  ;)
[20:20] <sa125> BLKNITE: I installed vmware player a few days ago, so I can give it a shot
[20:20] <wastedyouth> fde: haha it shouldn't ask me if its going to bad
[20:20] <Eri1> point is, its a simple problem. there should be a simple solution.

[20:21] <Eri1> and there's about 300 or more posts about it in the forums with no answers to solving it.
[20:21] <ed2020> Hi all. Could anyone spare a couple of minutes to help a n00b with a (probably very simple) question please?
[20:21] <fde> wastedyouth: yeah, I filed a bug today about the situation, recommending some possible ideas that may make the situation better...
[20:21] <Cyndrework> Recommended package to test system performance?
[20:21] <sa125> BLKNITE: sorry, I'm kinda new at this
[20:21] <gaintsura> legend2440: does that include the allowed use of the windows key?
[20:21] <ijusten> ed2020, ask the question, repeat if nobody answers
[20:21] <sa125> BLKNITE:I think there's a #vmware channel you could try
[20:21] <wastedyouth> fde: now I got a big red circle on my system notification... says I got two broken packages... evolution and evolution-data-server
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Eri1 It must need a driver that is not available (non-standard mouse)
[20:22] <wastedyouth> fde: I'm inclined to ignore it because its working
[20:22] <Jack_Sparrow> Eri1 What exact make and model
[20:22] <gaintsura> legend2440: HAH cool, thanks ^_^
[20:22] <laughtingMan> quit

[20:22] <legend2440> N8ESK: here is a post thats like your problem     http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=156602
[20:23] <ed2020> I have dual-booted Ubuntu with WinXP using Wubi. I only assigned 4GB of drive space to it, which has proven to be nowhere near enough. Is it possible to increase this without doing a full uninstall/reinstall?
[20:23] <Eri1> its black. says logitech on the bottom, the rest is worn off. m-s69 is the m/n.
[20:23] <Eri1> just plugs into the ps/2 port in the back, next to my keyboard.
[20:23] <Eri1> ver simple.
[20:23] <N8ESK>  legend2440 I'll try that thanks
[20:23] <fde> wastedyouth: Yes, ignore... just install the updates when they get to you...
[20:23] <ijusten> ed2020, I had that same problem few weeks back
[20:24] <ed2020> ijusten, did you find a solution?  :)
[20:24] <ijusten> there is a program to fix that, however, last I checked they hadn't updated it to 8.04 yet
[20:24] <Eri1> where do i start looking on my system to change, configure,.....hell, anything....
[20:24] <ijusten> Meanwhile, you can try to do it manually, but I found it too complicated and just installed ubuntu again
[20:24] <fde> wastedyouth: Do not activate -proposed again though, I can't stress that enough... or if you must, just be more aware of what it's saying it'll be doing
[20:24] <zibi9797> hey
[20:24] <ijusten> of course, this was few weeks back, the proggie might be updated by now
[20:24] <Pxrbot> My broadcom wireless doesnt seem to be showing up. it has before, but recently it seems as if the hardware isnt installed, any ideas?
[20:24] <zibi9797> i've got a problem
[20:24] <Xcell> Eri1 what exactly is not working
[20:24] <ed2020> What was the application?
[20:24] <Pers3ux> Hi. i have problem with compiling smartlink modem driver.
[20:24] <Eri1> the mouse.
[20:24] <Xcell> at all?
[20:25] <wastedyouth> fde: I think I learned my lesson =)
[20:25] <fde> wastedyouth: I'd recommend activating it for single package installs, then disabling it... or just be more patient  :)
[20:25] <zibi9797> i have burned a ubuntu 8.04 alternate and i wonna to install yhis in wubi
[20:25] <Eri1> the pointer just sits there. i've had to enable mousekeys just to make it this far to be able to ask about it. this is day 5 of "lets try ubuntu".
[20:25] <zibi9797> i don't have iso and i can't grab them
[20:25] <wastedyouth> fde: when update manager run it says I need to do a partial upgrade... which I believe is how I got into this mess.  I wont touch it again
[20:25] <legend2440> N8ESK: if you right click on desktop is there context menu that says Open Terminal?
[20:26] <Eri1> .... and so far.... i can honestly say windows (any version) is vastly superior just due to this inconvenience.
[20:26] <zibi9797>  can anybody help e
[20:26] <zibi9797> *me
[20:26] <fde> zibi9797: Wubi's installer will grab the stuff you need automatically, the alternate CD is for installing to harddrive...
[20:26] <Xcell> hmmmn.. U may google imwheel and take a look.. just a suggestion
[20:26] <zibi9797> fde: but i can't download this
[20:27] <wastedyouth> Okay, anybody know how to change the audacious tray icon?
