[06:19] <BHSPitLappy> KenSentMe, that's the sum-up at this point
[06:19] <Ramunas> george_looney: well i guess i'll have to do this
[06:19] <dr_willis> BHSPitLappy,  disable the onboard thing in the bios - will be  the first advice you will get.
[06:20] <dr_willis> BHSPitLappy,  could also try some other live cd's see if they detect things right
[06:20] <BHSPitLappy> something tells me it already is disabled, but I'll check
[06:20] <_max_> could someone take a look at http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Matrox , and tell me if im missing out on any important information other than the commands in the grey areas.
[06:20] <_max_> i dont speak german =/
[06:20] <alecks> anybody know any good proxy finders for linux?
[06:20] <BHSPitLappy> dr_willis, and if those other ones do? save the xorg.conf?
[06:21] <dr_willis> BHSPitLappy,  yea.  see how it differs from the ubuntu one.
[06:21] <george_looney> alecks: proxy finders??
[06:21] <Ramunas> hey, there's a package for kubuntu, why no package for ubuntu?
[06:21] <Ramunas> http://kubuntu.org/announcements/amarok-1.4.php
[06:21] <george_looney> Ramunas: use that one
[06:21] <dr_willis> you could do the text install to install the disrto then install the official nvidia drivers. which may fix everything. but the live cd has some limitations
[06:21] <alecks> george_loony: yeah, such as charon for windows
[06:21] <skavenge> use that one, amarok is a kde app therefore it'd be in kubuntu
[06:21] <inono> Why is Eclipse so doggone slow !!!
[06:22] <george_looney> alecks: you mean to say you want to find open proxies?
[06:22] <hangfire> anyone know why the install wizard would have troubles loading/running?
[06:22] <alecks> yesh
[06:22] <george_looney> inono: Evrything Java is Sloooooooooow
[06:22] <inono> ITS REALLY FUCKING SLOW
[06:22] <inono> it takes 10 seconds to save a file
[06:22] <sysdoc> lol
[06:22] <inono> ???
[06:22] <hangfire> no, I mean really slow, I cant even get the second screen of the install wizard to work
[06:23] <koke> ola porfavor contestame vale
[06:23] <george_looney> hangfire: do the CD Test
[06:23] <hangfire> george, what is the cd test?
[06:23] <cntb> koe hi #ubuntu-es is sleepy ?
[06:23] <matti> Coool... 6.06 works like a charm :)
[06:23] <sysdoc> atababy tritium
[06:24] <george_looney> hangfire: ummmm, when you boot with the CD there is an option to Test the CD
[06:24] <bertugolu> hey some
[06:24] <bertugolu> one
[06:24] <whacko> When I tried to install ubuntu dapper 6.06, after base installation , my system hangs while doing the select and install pkgs. I have 915Gav ll it be any driver probs, I am sure its not cd prob. Please clarify my dbt.
[06:24] <bertugolu> i need help
[06:24] <hangfire> ok thx, george, Ill try that
[06:24] <cntb> matti: where from?
[06:24] <bertugolu> i downloaded the live ch
[06:24] <bertugolu> and i want to install ubuntu ...how may i do that
[06:25] <george_looney> bertugolu: burn the downloaded ISO image on D
[06:25] <george_looney> C
[06:25] <matti> cntb: You mean? Where I live?
[06:25] <george_looney> CD
[06:25] <cntb> bertugolu: most straightforward
[06:25] <bertugolu> i did it already
[06:25] <bertugolu> and when i run it
[06:25] <george_looney> bertugolu: then boot your PC with the CD
[06:25] <bertugolu> o
[06:25] <bertugolu> ok
[06:25] <bertugolu> 10x
[06:25] <BHSPitLappy> dr_willis, I think the BIOS setting is OK
[06:25] <cntb> see straighforward
[06:25] <george_looney> np
[06:26] <cntb> yeah matti
[06:26] <matti> cntb: If so, then... I live in Poland.
[06:26] <matti> :)
[06:26] <BHSPitLappy> dr_willis, the primary Video Controller is set to Auto instead of Onboard, and the picture's coming from the AGP card
[06:26] <LordElph> booting a fresh dapper server install I get this 5 times "request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-0000" and then it hangs. Aside from trying another distro, anyone got a clue how I might repair or fix the problem?
[06:26] <cntb> ah vshistko vporadku
[06:26] <xlinuxted> hi all
[06:27] <cntb> Iam from problematic ME
[06:27] <tritium> LordElph: at what point during install do you get that?
[06:27] <matti> cntb: LOL
[06:27] <LordElph> that's at boot, after the install has completed
[06:27] <george_looney> yp xlinuxted
[06:27] <tritium> LordElph: ah, install is complete?  Let's try blacklisting that module.
[06:28] <cntb> so UBUNTU speaks fluent Polish ?
[06:28] <xlinuxted> when I use bzflag (3D game) on 64bit install the bullets go through people.  On 32 bit it works fine.  Any ideas?
[06:28] <tritium> cntb: in another channel
[06:28] <matti> cntb: Almost.
[06:28] <cntb> tritium socializing
[06:28] <george_looney> xlinuxted: which CPU are you on?
[06:28] <cntb> is good for UBUNTU
[06:28] <LordElph> tritium: how would I go about blacklisting it? what does binfmt actually do anyway?
[06:28] <ephesius> is there a specific forum for laptop related questions?
[06:29] <Ng> !pl
[06:29] <ubotu> Mozesz uzyskac pomoc w jezyku polskim na #ubuntu-pl
[06:29] <cntb> ok now serious
[06:29] <matti> cntb: But I stick with english localization all the time.
[06:29] <tritium> LordElph: hold on
[06:29] <xlinuxted> george_looney:  just a sec...
[06:29] <george_looney> ephesius: not really, I think
[06:29] <cntb> is a pinnacle TV card good for UBUNTU /or any linux 4 that matter ?
[06:29] <skavenge> www.linuxtv.org
[06:30] <ephesius> george_looney: ok thanks
[06:30] <cntb> 10x skavenge very much
[06:30] <Bassetts> is there no easy way to make a flash screencast?
[06:30] <xlinuxted> george_looney, I have a AMD Athlon 3000+
[06:30] <skavenge> np that site's helped me out tons
[06:30] <ephesius> Why do usb ports on my thinkpad t40 not work in ubuntu
[06:30] <george_looney> cntb: I think so
[06:31] <cntb> george_looney:  yu know pinnacle TV is ok 4 linux?
[06:31] <Ramunas> how can i install amarok-xine package without installing package amarok?
[06:31] <george_looney> ephesius: what device are you trying to connect to them
[06:31] <BHSPitLappy> hmm
[06:32] <BHSPitLappy> so, the kororaa livecd works, X-wise
[06:32] <BHSPitLappy> but ubuntu doesn't
[06:32] <george_looney> cntb: My friend had one of their cards, it worked A-OK with the "bttv" driver
[06:32] <Al2O3> Isn't [H5N1]  a type of avian influenza?
[06:32] <cntb> bttv  = Brooktree TV
[06:32] <xlinuxted> george_looney, why did you wanna know about my cpu?  Would it affect bzlfag?
[06:32] <lommes> in english its called birdflu
[06:33] <george_looney> BHSPitLappy: do a text only install and configure the X Window system later
[06:33] <cntb> my experience only in WINDOWS
[06:33] <george_looney> xlinuxted: use the 32-bit version if it works fine :)
[06:33] <YogSothoth> Hi
[06:33] <YogSothoth> I use GNOME. Ryhthmbox has just crashed. I try to kill it but I can't. Any help?
[06:33] <oskude> cntb, maybe this list can help http://www.linuxtv.org/v4lwiki/index.php/Cardlist.BTTV
[06:33] <xlinuxted> can i specifically use the 32bit version of bzflag on 64bit install?  if so, how?
[06:33] <xlinuxted> (that was for george)
[06:34] <george_looney> cntb: bttv was the first driver AFAIK for TV cards on Linux
[06:34] <dseomn> hi, I'm using edgy and when I try to boot a 2.6.17 kernel (-3 or -4) it can't find my root partition (hda1)

[06:34] <dseomn> my ide controller is 0000:00:1f.1 IDE interface: Intel Corporation 82801DB (ICH4) IDE Controller (rev 02)
[06:34] <xlinuxted> he he he
[06:34] <george_looney> xlinuxted: I thought you said it worked for you
[06:34] <ephesius> george_looney: any device
[06:35] <Ares> dseomn: You using Grub to boot?
[06:35] <tritium> dseomn: #ubuntu+1 for edgy questions
[06:35] <Raito> tritium: ok, I'm back, I'll still be idling
[06:35] <dseomn> Ares: yeah
[06:35] <dseomn> tritium: thanks
[06:35] <xlinuxted> george_looney, I had a 32install.  when I changed to 64 that's where the problem comes up
[06:35] <tritium> Raito: you haven't tried 192.168.x.x, have you?
[06:35] <george_looney> ephesius: I'm command line junkie, so if you can do "dmesg" in a root console after you attach the device
[06:35] <jpgvietnam> how to intall jdk5.0 on Unbuntu Linux
[06:35] <BHSPitLappy> george_looney, we -have- a text-only install
[06:35] <jpgvietnam> ?
[06:36] <Ares> Oh, does anyone know what version of Grub Ubuntu ships with these days?
[06:36] <Raito> tritium: no, I haven't, and what should the x's be?
[06:36] <george_looney> BHSPitLappy: ooops, must have been the beer
[06:36] <ephesius> george_looney: i do that but how do i put it in pastebin?
[06:36] <loco> hola
[06:36] <tritium> LordElph: does booting into recovery mode (single-user) work?
[06:36] <tritium> !es
[06:36] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[06:36] <xlinuxted> gotta go
[06:36] <loco> habla en espaol
[06:36] <BHSPitLappy> george_looney, I didn't say it, but we do have a text-only install. the alternate install cd created it
[06:36] <george_looney> BHSPitLappy: I meant the beer joke on me :)
[06:37] <BHSPitLappy> and there's no network access, and X is desired
[06:37] <tritium> Ares: 0.97-1
[06:37] <BHSPitLappy> george_looney, and I just told you I didn't say it to begin with
[06:37] <Ares> tritrum: Thanks.
[06:37] <BHSPitLappy> so don't worry about it
[06:37] <george_looney> BHSPitLappy: ok So I'm still in my senses :)
[06:37] <tritium> Ares: 0.97, actually.  The -1 is related to the ubuntu build
[06:38] <BHSPitLappy> but what can we do from here?
[06:38] <george_looney> BHSPitLappy: get into a root session with "sudo -i"
[06:38] <nguyep> does any1 know if ubuntu supports buslink's usb-ide bridge
[06:38] <BHSPitLappy> you want me to boot to the text-only installation?
[06:38] <george_looney> BHSPitLappy: then "apt-get install x-window-system-core"
[06:38] <Ramunas> anybody here already uses amarok 1.4.1 ?
[06:38] <BHSPitLappy> I said there's no network access though
[06:39] <BHSPitLappy> unless it can use the Ubuntu CD as a source
[06:39] <george_looney> BHSPitLappy: Have already installed?
[06:39] <ephesius> george_looney: wut should i do after I dmesg
[06:39] <valehru> anyone know a way I can record skype calls on ubuntu?
[06:39] <george_looney> BHSPitLappy: Have you already installed ?
[06:40] <george_looney> ephesius: do you know how to use pastebin?
[06:40] <ephesius> george_looney: nope
[06:40] <BHSPitLappy> george_looney, we have a text-only install, but I think it's crippled.
[06:40] <energywhiz123> happy new user here.. just wanted to say thanks
[06:40] <george_looney> energywhiz123: you are welcome
[06:40] <tritium> BHSPitLappy: you did a server install?
[06:40] <BHSPitLappy> and it isn't SUPPOSED to be text-only
[06:41] <BHSPitLappy> tritium, no. just a text-mode installation
[06:41] <george_looney> BHSPitLappy: crippled!? like how?
[06:41] <george_looney> ephesius: go to pastebin.com
[06:41] <BHSPitLappy> like, it should be NORMAL, but instead it doesn't have a GUI
[06:41] <tritium> BHSPitLappy: but which installer?
[06:42] <BHSPitLappy> tritium, the first choice on the alternate cd install menu.
[06:42] <tritium> george_looney: not sure if he was thanking you.  heh
[06:42] <BHSPitLappy> Install in Text-Mode
[06:42] <george_looney> BHSPitLappy: oh ok, so I guess you can at least login in the text mode
[06:42] <shigutso> how can I turn Off the effect of minimize/maximize in my Ubuntu 6.06 using Gnome??
[06:42] <tritium> BHSPitLappy: alternate?  okay...
[06:42] <BHSPitLappy> not OEM, not server
[06:42] <tritium> shigutso: I don't believe that you can.  Why?
[06:42] <george_looney> tritium: I was representing the community on that occasion :)
[06:43] <BHSPitLappy> ok, george_looney
[06:43] <shigutso> tritium, it is because I dont like this effect... :(
[06:43] <BHSPitLappy> I'm sudo -i in the installed Ubuntu
[06:43] <BHSPitLappy> at a # prompt.
[06:43] <shigutso> tritium, just like windows, I want to make it "faster"
[06:43] <TonyEberly> Howdy all - I am currently having a bit of trouble accessing the Security updates repositories --- I have more info on my situation posted here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1213424  Help would be greatly appreciated :)
[06:43] <george_looney> BHSPitLappy: now give this "apt-get install x-window-system-core"
[06:43] <george_looney> BHSPitLappy: tell me what it says?
[06:44] <tritium> shigutso: you don't want to be able to min or max windows at all?
[06:44] <george_looney> shigutso: use XFCE
[06:44] <george_looney> shigutso: But, I'm sure the option to disable those effects are available somewhere, Google maybe!?
[06:44] <shigutso> tritium, no no, I only don't want to have that effect when maximizing/minimizing... i don't like it and it is kinda "laggy" for me
[06:45] <shigutso> george_looney, I've already searched in google :/
[06:45] <whacko> I have a prob. When I tried to install ubuntu dapper 6.06, after base installation , my system hangs while doing the select and install pkgs. I have 915Gav ll it be any driver probs, I am sure its not cd prob. please help me. I even ran it in console mode ctrl+alt+f4 , I cud see its unpacks and config all pkgs. and when it was setting up all the pkgs, it hangs the same way
[06:46] <BHSPitLappy> george_looney, it seems to be working, using the cd
[06:46] <BHSPitLappy> I'll be back in a little while, thanks for helping so far
[06:46] <george_looney> BHSPitLappy: you are welcome
[06:47] <ephesius> george_looney: it wont let me submin
[06:47] <ephesius> george_looney: can i open up a dialog window with you and paste it in there
[06:47] <george_looney> ephesius: ok
[06:48] <TonyEberly> Howdy all - I am currently having a bit of trouble accessing the Security updates repositories --- I have more info on my situation posted here - http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=1213424  Help would be greatly appreciated :)
[06:48] <soundray> whacko: how long have you left it in this hanging state?
[06:48] <whacko> soundray: abt 15-20 mins
[06:48] <soundray> whacko: is it unpacking something at that point?
[06:49] <Leira> i've tried prelink, i found my / and /usr used larger space, then i runned prelink -all -undo, to expect retrive back the lost space
[06:49] <whacko> soundray: no its not unpacking
[06:49] <Leira> but i found when i undoed prelink, the used space even get lager~
[06:49] <soundray> whacko: what's the last screen message?
[06:50] <Leira> and i tried to redo the prelink, the used space is still increasing, it is strange
[06:50] <whacko> soundray: I cud see setting up xorg ... then quickly it goes blank
[06:50] <Leira> it seems prelink just eating space, and never give back
[06:51] <Barkley> anyone using vmware?  i'm tossing around windows server host, linux guest or vice-versa.  are there known performance differences between the two approaches?
[06:51] <ephesius> Barkley: go with the linux host
[06:51] <soundray> whacko: does it respond to any keys? Try Alt-F8 and Alt-F1, as well as those two with Ctrl held down as well.
[06:51] <Barkley> ephesius --- what's the rationale?
[06:52] <chariscomp> I have installed ubuntu dapper drake many times on my system. I am unable to get it to boot. When it boots, it tells me that the /dev/hda1 cannot be mounted as root, becase the drive is busy or unavailable. I have figured out it is because it thinks that /dev/hda1 is part of a software RAID device. I did not choose to set this up when I installed it. How can I remove any references to the...
[06:52] <chariscomp> .../dev/md0 device that I did not create? (I had previously tried to install using RAID, but had deleted all partitions before this installation) Why am I still seeing references to /dev/md0 when I didn't ask it to install? Also, is there a text editor that can be used from the busybox environment?
[06:52] <Barkley> does windows slow down much as a guest?
[06:52] <Barkley> can you do 3d as a guest?
[06:52] <whacko> soundray: it responded to ctrl+alt+del but not to ctrl +alt+F*
[06:53] <chariscomp> Any suggestions? I am getting really desperate! :(
[06:53] <Ares> Charis: Busy box?
[06:53] <ephesius> Barkley: it seems to work well, get the server and I think you can run it without a gui remotely....or try xen on a ubuntu server install, there is a really good guide on how-to forge for it
[06:54] <Ares> !info busybox
[06:54] <ubotu> busybox: Tiny utilities for small and embedded systems. In repository universe, is optional. Version 1:1.01-4ubuntu3 (dapper), package size 281 kB, installed size 508 kB
[06:54] <chariscomp> Ares, what do you mean by your question?
[06:54] <george_looney> ephesius: but, I don't think Xen supports windows
[06:54] <Ares> Charis: You may want to try Nano I guess?
[06:54] <soundray> whacko: did you install from a Desktop CD?
[06:54] <chariscomp> where is nano stored? Is it in /boot?
[06:54] <whacko> soundray: s :)
[06:55] <ephesius> george_looney: yea you're right, sorry Barkley....vmware should still work well
[06:55] <Barkley> ephesius: yeah might try that
[06:55] <ephesius> Barkley: I dont know how well windows is supported in xen
[06:55] <Barkley> you are saying grab the ubunutu server install or the vmware server (gsx or whatever)
[06:55] <Ares> Nah, nano is just an editor through terminal.
[06:56] <Ares> Charis: What would you care to edit?
[06:56] <soundray> whacko: did you install from a Desktop or Alternate CD?
[06:56] <george_looney> ephesius: Xen requires patching the guest OS kernel
[06:56] <ephesius> Barkley: ubuntu then install vmware server, i think vmwares costs money
[06:56] <whacko> soundray: desktop cd
[06:56] <george_looney> ephesius: obviously, Windows is not an option
[06:57] <chariscomp> Ares: I am trying to edit my /etc/fstab but can't seem to find anything to do it with.
[06:57] <Ares> Oh
[06:57] <ephesius> george_looney: i never really thought about running windows in it, i guess i should research more before i start saying stuff haha
[06:57] <Ares> Open up terminal?
[06:57] <chariscomp> Ares: The problem is that I can't get my system to boot normally at all.
[06:57] <soundray> whacko: I suggest you try booting with a kernel option. In the grub menu, you can hit 'e' to edit the first entry. Append 'vga=771' to the kernel line, then boot.
[06:58] <Ares> Charis: Got Terminal?
[06:58] <chariscomp> Ares: It never has booted properly.
[06:58] <george_looney> ephesius: actually, the Microsoft Research did provide the original Xen developers with a copy of Windows XP
[06:58] <KnowledgEngi> http://rafb.net/paste/results/PgekQI65.html
[06:58] <george_looney> ephesius: which was modified so as to be tested with Xen

[07:00] <mrDaniel> i want my blue ubuntu logo back :)
[07:00] <mrDaniel> i mean orange :)
[07:00] <soundray> whacko: and?
[07:01] <Ares> Charis: Type in "nano /etc/fstab" into Terminal and that should be an editor ....
[07:01] <whacko> soundray: so no grub how to edit that
[07:01] <soundray> whacko: what?
[07:02] <dudleh> someone got an offsite link to the ubuntu dapper upgrade guide? wiki won't load for me
[07:02] <aergern> mrDaniel: /usr/share/pixmaps/splash/
[07:02] <whacko> soundray: that's a new sys and im going to install ths ubuntu now, tell me how to do that
[07:02] <aergern> That's where you can find the splash screens for Gnome.

[07:04] <dudleh> soundray, cheers, seems i've got some dns problems though, they mirrored anywhere?
[07:04] <zi1> is there a gnome gui for configuring samba i use vi but a friend needs to be able to point and click
[07:05] <soundray> dudleh: if it's DNS, try https://<IP_ADDRESS>/community/DapperUpgrades

[07:06] <ephesius> george_looney: i posted everything to a blog i made real quick, http://ephesius.blogspot.com/ if you dont mind could you check it out
[07:06] <xored> Ihr seid Frinks :) ! SCHLAND!
[07:06] <dudleh> still nothing, think theres some malware or something on here, thanks anyway.
[07:06] <cntb> guys  http://www.nasa.gov/ram/35037main_portal.ram
[07:06] <zi1> what is SWAT
[07:06] <soundray> whacko: ask someone who will tolerate your poor manners.
[07:06] <george_looney> ephesius: ok sure
[07:06] <Ares> soundray: What did Whacko do?

[07:07] <mrDaniel> thank you for your help @aergern ((usr/share/pixmaps/splash/) but i dont mean this picutres. i mean the logo at the very beginning: the picture appears promptly after the bootloader is 'gone'

[07:07] <george_looney> zi1: SWAT is a web based admin tool for Samba
[07:07] <soundray> Ares: nothing in particular, we just don't get along.
[07:07] <Ares> soundray: Understood =)
[07:08] <zi1> no i need a program
[07:08] <zi1> needs to be KISS
[07:08] <george_looney> zi1: thought so
[07:08] <george_looney> zi1: I don't know of any that is really KISS
[07:09] <zi1> kcontrol
[07:09] <george_looney> ephesius: did you connect a PSP?
[07:09] <ephesius> yea
[07:10] <ephesius> george_looney: but the same thing happens wiht a thumbdrive and even the mouse craps out after a little
[07:10] <wiking> where i can find my ubuntu version?
[07:11] <george_looney> I suspect your USB is going bad or most probably a hardware issue
[07:11] <aergern> mrDaniel: You can do that by going to the admin menu and choosing login window..
[07:11] <george_looney> ephesius: it could of course be a Linux issue as well
[07:11] <george_looney> ephesius: can't confirm
[07:12] <saik0> zi1, System -> Administration -> Shared Folders  KISS enough?
[07:12] <bthornton> Got a quick kernel question: There was a time when certain SCSI features needed to be enabled in order to write to CD/DVD-R/RW discs--even if the drive was IDE.  Is this still the case in 2.6.x kernels?
[07:12] <george_looney> bthornton: nope
[07:12] <saik0> bthornton, no
[07:13] <bthornton> sweet
[07:13] <bthornton> thanks
[07:13] <mrDaniel> @aergern: at admin->login_window only the gdm can be configured, but i mean the logo at the VERY beginning after grub-bootloader. Its a big ubuntu-logo at the top and at the bottom a text appears.
[07:13] <george_looney> bthornton: use dev=/dev/hdc or whatever
[07:13] <ephesius> george_looney: its a ubuntu issue, dsl work, debian, and knoppix all recognize it
[07:13] <mrDaniel> where i can find this picture
[07:13] <george_looney> ephesius: well then it is
[07:13] <mrDaniel> i want to change my logo from kubuntu-blue to ubuntu-ornge
[07:13] <bthornton> so I can pretty much safely turn off everything in the SCSI device support section of the kernel config if I know I don't have any SCSI devices?  (which I know I don't)
[07:13] <george_looney> ephesius: if others work then its an issue
[07:14] <ephesius> george_looney: but hwo do i solve this issue
[07:14] <wiking> in admin menu?
[07:14] <george_looney> ephesius: do you get the same error with default linux-image-386 kernel?
[07:15] <ephesius> not sure...installed the 386 right off the bat
[07:15] <ephesius> should i just apt-get it?
[07:16] <michel> higuys
[07:16] <george_looney> ephesius: I have to go now, sorry, its late out here, I will try to contact you on your blog
[07:16] <george_looney> ephesius: I hope it is ok with you
[07:16] <Ro1> how do i get wmv files to play in totem?
[07:16] <cntb> shuttle launch in less than hour
[07:16] <Ro1> woo
[07:16] <johlin> could someone help me getting code::blocks working with SDL?
[07:17] <michel> need a hand. here's the problem.  I need toconfigure GDM so it accepts xdmcp connections from distant host (internet). can anyone assist?
[07:17] <saik0> !tell Ro1 about RestrictedFormats
[07:17] <ephesius> george_looney: thats cool, thatnks a lot...will it work through apt get?

[07:18] <cjnodell> Hello
[07:19] <ROBOd> hello
[07:19] <ROBOd> i have added several repositories to my sources.list
[07:19] <cntb> awesome
[07:19] <cjnodell> Is there a simple way to install DRI so i can enable my ATI Rages 3d?
[07:19] <ROBOd> and i'd like to see in synaptics (or any tool) which of the repositories does provide the specific package I want
[07:20] <mrDaniel> do anyone know how to change the startup-logo after grub-bootloader?
[07:20] <soundray> cntb: football starts in 100 minutes. Both subjects are best discussed in #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:20] <jrib> ROBOd: apt-cache policy package_name
[07:20] <cntb> cntb:  http://www.nasa.gov/ram/35037main_portal.ram
[07:20] <ROBOd> in synaptic and aptitude there's "versions" ... but that shows just "dapper" "dapper", etc
[07:20] <cntb> run to see it
[07:20] <skavenge> what package?
[07:20] <soundray> mrDaniel: I think you need usplash
[07:21] <soundray> !info usplash
[07:21] <ubotu> usplash: Userspace bootsplash utility. In repository main, is optional. Version 0.2-4 (dapper), package size 34 kB, installed size 196 kB
[07:21] <ROBOd> thanks jrib
[07:21] <mrDaniel> @soundray: the problem is, i want to change my blue kubuntu logo to the orange ubuntu logo
[07:22] <Osaka> so im having some troubles installing ubuntu is this the right place to get some help?
[07:22] <saik0> !tell mrDaniel about grub
[07:22] <Jack_Sparrow> mrDaniel:  is that the Start equivalent logo you are trying to change
[07:22] <juztin> is there a way in gnome to change the way you resize windows?  i want it to be ALT-RIGHT-CLICK instead of ALT-MIDDLE-CLICK....
[07:23] <Jack_Sparrow> Osaka:  yes
[07:23] <DYm00n>
[07:23] <jolmash> hello all, could somebody help me on configuring my ubuntu as a vpn server?
[07:23] <ROBOd> how to make a certain package version "ignored"?
[07:23] <jcarlos> hi
[07:23] <ROBOd> i want to ... skip it somehow
[07:23] <Barkley> am i correct in assuming that even if you have an amd64 chip, you are still better off installing the x86 version to avoid all the driver and 32-bit problems?
[07:23] <Osaka> ok so i have the ubuntu iso mounted with daemon tools but when i try to get it to run it just loads the splash loader and then.. silence
[07:24] <mrDaniel> i want to change the start-logo, because
[07:24] <mrDaniel> i have ubunutu, than i installed and removed kubuntu-desktop, but the blue kubuntu start-logo is going on my nerves
[07:24] <Jack_Sparrow> Osaka:  why not just boot the cd live
[07:24] <codecaine> anybody know how I can get movies to play with mplayer by double clicking with my mouse I choose mplayer but it never loads
[07:24] <saik0> Barkley, unless you feel like running certain things in a 32 bit chroot (headache) then yes thats about right
[07:24] <mrDaniel> i want my old orange ubuntu logo back
[07:25] <Jack_Sparrow> !restricted
[07:25] <ubotu> For lots of multimedia issues this page has the useful information you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  see also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - Please use free formats: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[07:25] <mrDaniel> and not the blue kubuntu logo at the startup
[07:25] <codecaine> but if I do mplayer movie in terminal it does :/
[07:25] <soundray> mrDaniel: I think you need to do 'cd /etc/alternatives ; sudo ln -sf /usr/lib/usplash-default.so usplash-artwork.so'
[07:25] <Barkley> saik0 thanks, nope i don't have time to screw with that
[07:25] <Osaka> how would one boot the cd live
[07:26] <Jowi> mrDaniel: it's not enough to remove kubuntu-artwork-usplash?
[07:26] <saik0> Barkley, btw. the only issues arise are from non-free software thats only availiable in a 32 bit incarnation. ex: Flash and win32 codecs
[07:27] <Jack_Sparrow> osaka set bios to boot cd first then power up
[07:27] <mrDaniel> @jowi: i have removed kubuntu-artwork-usplash, but this didn't work
[07:27] <mrDaniel> @soundray: i will try this
[07:27] <Barkley> ah
[07:27] <Barkley> what's about nvidia display drivers :D
[07:27] <Jack_Sparrow> !nv
[07:27] <ubotu> I know nothing about nv
[07:27] <Osaka> okie now i have to get off my bum and find a blank cd >.<
[07:27] <Jack_Sparrow> !nvidia
[07:27] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[07:27] <saik0> Barkley, pff beats me ;)
[07:28] <Barkley> saik0 so as a server...i should run it as 64?
[07:28] <Jack_Sparrow> osaka.. it is the best way to get started
[07:28] <Barkley> i don't need flash and win32 codecs
[07:29] <Osaka> right-o
[07:29] <Jowi> mrDaniel: how about "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so"?
[07:29] <ephesius> could someone help me get usb ports working on my thinkpad t40?
[07:29] <nstrich> hi ihave a problem, i fucked up xfce!
[07:29] <saik0> Barkley, I cant see any reason why you would'nt want to run x86_64 on it
[07:29] <nstrich> the panels come up, but the desktop area is regular gnome :\
[07:29] <saik0> Barkley, but I'm known for failing to see the obvious ;)
[07:29] <Jowi> mrDaniel: (should give you a list of images you can select to be the usplash image)
[07:29] <Jack_Sparrow> OSaka, it will boot all the way into Ubuntu and evaluate hardware.  Icon on the screen for hard drive installation
[07:29] <Barkley> does stuff like lighttpd, apache, mysql all run fine on amd64?
[07:30] <screnity> Hello :), My question is as follows, I was advised to use FreeNX as a remote desktop application as opposed to RealVNC, I have successfully installed the server and client but wonder how to set settings for the server, and if the password is the password of my user account? Do i also have to open SSH 22 on this machine - Thanks
[07:30] <mrDaniel> mom...
[07:30] <tonyyarusso> ephesius: They don't?  I have a T43 and everything was fine.  You might find something on the ThinkWiki though - great site dedicated to Linux on Thinkpads.
[07:30] <saik0> screnity, yes and yes
[07:31] <codecaine> how open a video with the mouse using terminal commands?
[07:31] <ephesius> tonyarusso: they work on like debian and they worked on breezy but not dapper....
[07:31] <tonyyarusso> ephesius: Very strange...
[07:31] <mrDaniel> at /etc/alternatives are only three files: usplash, usplash_down und usplash_write
[07:31] <screnity> saikio, So i need to open SSH 22 on my router, then people can connect only using my account i was logged in as? or as root?
[07:32] <ROBOd> how to make a certain package version "ignored"?
[07:32] <screnity> saik0* or saiko heh
[07:32] <left> hi
[07:32] <mrDaniel> at /usr/lib/usplash/ i can find two files: usplash-artwork.so and usplash-default.so
[07:32] <kyozabe> How do you paste things into irssi through SSH?
[07:33] <ephesius> tonyyarusso: i couldnt find anything on thinkwiki
[07:33] <kyozabe> ctrl v doesn't work
[07:33] <saik0> screnity, thats right. You could setup some iptables firewall rules to only allow a certain IP/subnet access to port 22, or perhaps your router has some firewall capabilities
[07:33] <Gog123> does gtk2.10 fix the bugs with ubuntu?
[07:33] <eikke> hija
[07:34] <screnity> sounds good thank you, so I can allow a certain subnet and the password is the root account? or user i set it up with? although hmm it had to be granted admin rights im sure
[07:34] <Gog123> can i update to gtk2.10 ?
[07:34] <left> has someone already seen a thing like this? : http://img382.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshot1vn.png :O
[07:34] <left> the unallocated is a ntfs windows partition
[07:34] <eikke> I got a stupid issue. I installed ubuntu (dapper) on my laptop before, worked fine, now I had to reinstall, used lvm this time, and installation hangs on "configuring wvdial". Anything I can change about that?
[07:34] <mrDaniel> just for understanding: i dont mean a splash-screen like this http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=33082
[07:34] <cmatheson> i've compiled my own kernel so that i can use the badram patch, but i don't have the nvidia kernel module now... which package contains the source for that?
[07:34] <Jowi> mrDaniel: how about "sudo apt-get remove --purge usplash" and then "sudo apt-get install usplash"?
[07:34] <mrDaniel> i mean the logo at the very beginning after grub
[07:34] <tonyyarusso> ephesius: Filed a bug yet?
[07:35] <ephesius> no...wear can i do that
[07:35] <ephesius> what information should i include
[07:35] <saik0> screnity, you can login to your machine with any user account (with a default Nx config). You can disable root logins to ssh as well. But I'm not sure if thats the default in ubuntu these days.
[07:35] <mrDaniel> @jowi: i will try this
[07:35] <WooD> Hi ! Any of you as found an easy way to sync a Pocket PC Windows Mobile 5.0 to Evolution with Ubuntu ?
[07:36] <mrDaniel> maybe man-pages exists for usplash
[07:36] <screnity> ok thanks saiko, lastly how do you rate freeNX ?
[07:36] <KyoLptp`> how do you paste into irssi through screen using SSH?
[07:36] <mrDaniel> restart....
[07:36] <saik0> screnity, You can also do some additional security with pub/private key configs. Just read the docs. I love Nx I use it every day at work ;)
[07:36] <sysdoc> KyoLptp`, shift+insert
[07:37] <jolmash> hello all, could somebody help me on configuring my ubuntu as a vpn server?
[07:37] <screnity> :)
[07:37] <KyoLptp`> thanks sysdoc
[07:37] <cmatheson> where does one get the source for the nvidia kernel module?
[07:38] <screnity> saik0 sorry but i have another question :), How would I make NXViewer and really any application appear in the applications menu as every .deb i install does not, and only those installed via add/remove do although even some of those do not
[07:38] <screnity> thanks again :)
[07:38] <Ares> How do you install XGL and compiz [etc]  through apt-get?
[07:38] <left> :|
[07:38] <left> apt-get install ?
[07:39] <SAM_theman> /home/samuelp/.setup12170: error while loading shared libraries: libgtk-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[07:39] <SAM_theman> ?
[07:39] <saik0> screnity, do killall gnome-panel and see if they appear
[07:40] <sysdoc> cmatheson, http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper
[07:41] <screnity> thanks saik0 i cant figure out why that would be disabled by default though
[07:41] <mrDaniel> @jowi: removing and installting usplash again work well, thank you very much for your quick and uncomplicated help .)
[07:41] <martii> hi
[07:41] <martii> I have problem with totem
[07:41] <Ramunas> http://www.nasa.gov/55644main_NASATV_Windows.asx <-- Discovery launch from NASA, LIVE
[07:41] <Jowi> no probs mrDaniel. there must be another way though that does not require a complete removal. :)
[07:41] <martii> totem --screen=1 --fulscreen media_file dies
[07:42] <martii> (Details: serial 58 error_code 8 request_code 141 minor_code 19)
[07:43] <cmatheson> sysdoc: hmm, i don't want to use the stuff from nvidia though, is there no package that just contains the source so that it can be built alone (breezy used to have this package, i'm fairly sure)
[07:43] <WooD> Any as success with Pocket PC with ubuntu ?
[07:44] <saik0> !offtopic Ramunas
[07:44] <ubotu> I know nothing about offtopic Ramunas
[07:44] <saik0> !tell Ramunas about offtopic
[07:45] <Ares> How would I test my graphics card to know if its working properly?
[07:45] <satafterh> hay all, is there  a linux program that would allow me to record from my camcorder that would be connected to my tvtuner card right to dvd
[07:45] <blocky> can somebody gimmie a hand with something
[07:45] <sysdoc> cmatheson, If you want it to actually work, I'd suggest method 2 on that page....
[07:45] <blocky> when I got up this morning, my box was totally unresponsive and required hard reboot
[07:46] <blocky> syslog shows cron.daily running about 3 hours ago, and nothing between then and the reboot i just did
[07:46] <cmatheson> sysdoc: hmm, ok thanks
[07:46] <sysdoc> cmatheson, search the repos for nvidia.
[07:46] <blocky> im running 2.6.17-ck1
[07:48] <sysdoc> cmatheson, I didn't even look for the source in the repos, and have always use the driver from nvidia. So I really wouldn't know. But I do know that it just works if ya follow those instructions on that page...:)
[07:48] <cmatheson> sysdoc: oh, for some reason i was thinking that nvidia-kernel-source didn't have an installation candidate, but it's working now
[07:48] <cmatheson> sysdoc: thanks
[07:48] <sysdoc> coO
[07:48] <cmatheson> sysdoc: ok, cool
[07:49] <bjorkBSD> whoa! i'm back in \:D/
[07:49] <bjorkBSD> the ban is lifted. but i no longer have an interest in ubuntu :-?
[07:50] <Ares> bjork: You use BSD?
[07:50] <d2812> Does anyone know how I can view network shares in thunar?
[07:50] <peter84> Hi. How do i cd to a folder with spaces?
[07:50] <bjorkBSD> yeah.
[07:50] <bjorkBSD> it kicks ARSE.
[07:50] <bjorkBSD> peter, use \ ;)
[07:50] <Aven> hey
[07:50] <bbrazil> peter84: '\ '
[07:50] <tibbe> what's a recommended split of a 40gb laptop hard drive if I want a separate /home?
[07:50] <peter84> ahhh okay thanks
[07:50] <Jowi> peter84: or use quotes: "/my dir"
[07:50] <Aven> everytime I upload a song in a media player, it always says "this file is not an audio stream"
[07:51] <Aven> however it is 100% audio stream and I can play it in XMS
[07:51] <Aven> XMMS, rather
[07:51] <Aven> not just one song, but lots
[07:51] <bjorkBSD> oh well.
[07:51] <Ares> tibbe: I would say 10/30 or 20/20 :O [I put to much stuff in Home don't I? =)
[07:51] <Aven> what is the problem for that?
[07:51] <tibbe> Ares: I usually put all my media (movies etc) in /home, don't want to loose them during reinstall
[07:52] <rtux> #ubuntu
[07:52] <Aven> what is the problem for that?
[07:52] <tibbe> and why does the default layout put swap in hda5 instead of hda2 right after / which is at hda1?
[07:52] <saik0> tibbe, For a desktop I normally do 100Mb /boot, 5GB /, and use the rest for /home
[07:52] <Aven> what is the problem for that? lol
[07:52] <Aven> everytime I upload a song in a media player, it always says "this file is not an audio stream"
[07:52] <Aven> however it is 100% audio stream and I can play it in XMMS
[07:52] <saik0> tibbe, oh and swap about the size of my RAM
[07:53] <tibbe> saik0: do you feel that it's worth it to have a separate /boot?
[07:53] <d2812> aven: what do you mean by upload a song? ftp?
[07:53] <Aven> d2812: I mean, adding it to the playlist and stuff
[07:53] <tibbe> also, should I check round to cylinders when making partitions?
[07:54] <Aven> lots of media players say "this is not a valid audio stream" except a few
[07:54] <sladen> tibbe: probably 10G root, 30G home
[07:54] <tibbe> saik0: do you use an extended partition or just put everything on the 4 primary partitions?
[07:54] <saik0> tibbe, I do beacuse i use ext3 for /boot and xfs for / and /home.
[07:54] <Aven> they're also .mp3
[07:56] <saik0> tibbe, for desktop use i maily use 4 Primary partitions
[07:56] <rtux> Hello Ubunters.. do you think it's a nice day today?
[07:56] <nyxie> yes
[07:56] <dgh1973> it's always a nice day
[07:56] <d2812> aven: afraid i cant really help. i find moc does everything for me.
[07:56] <rtux> Great!
[07:57] <Aven> d2812: is that a media player?
[07:57] <Aven> if so, does it work with ipod?
[07:57] <d2812> aven: yes it is a media player, but i dont think it works with ipod.
[07:57] <rtux> I have a question if someone minds to answer. I have tried hard to configure my ATI driver. The end result is.. it's configured as Radeon 9500 pro instead of Radeon 9700 pro. What can I do to make sure I configure it correctly?
[07:58] <goki-> rtux, does it work?
[07:58] <rtux> It works. But I think it causes Freezing sometimes. Not stable.
[07:59] <axisys> how to read docs of different language in OO?
[07:59] <Aven> d2812: to open it, is the command 'moc'?
[07:59] <Aven> doesn't seem to work for me
[07:59] <d2812> mocp
[08:00] <Aven> ah ok
[08:00] <rtux> helloo? where are the gurus?
[08:00] <d2812> aven : to quit it is Q (case sensitive), and moc will play in the background. you can even close the terminal
[08:01] <d2812> aven: h is help, and to shut it off, type moc -x at the command line
[08:01] <naknomik> Is there a way to install ubuntu over the network without downloading the whole CD?
[08:01] <Aven> ooh ok, ty

[08:02] <jme> what language is the document in?
[08:02] <nyxie> there's a good video/image recognition software fos linux?

[08:03] <rtux> dghl1973.. do you know about xorg configuration?
[08:03] <d2812> avan - I meant mocp -x to quit

[08:03] <divorcedpop> chris^
[08:04] <goki-> rtux, I'm not a guru in any sense, but I have heard/experienced major instability with ATi under linux, if they even work
[08:04] <goki-> rtux, some people say they can get them working perfectly, but I'm not so sure :)
[08:04] <axisys> jme: let me look, ty
[08:04] <naknomik> Is there an installation guide for Ubuntu?
[08:05] <KenSentMe> naknomik: check help.ubuntu.com , but the installation should be pretty easy
[08:05] <dgh1973> naknomik: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation
[08:05] <rtux> goki I think I did it before by luck but I don't seem to be able to do it again. The problem is.. I am trying to change OpenGL to direct rendering, get what I am saying?
[08:05] <dgh1973> see the FAQ
[08:05] <jbwiv> guys, the default initrd installed on my dapper install includes dm-mod.ko...the device mapper support for LVM, because my root is installed on an LV. I'm trying to regenerate an initrd and for the LIFE of me can't get dm-mod to be included. I've added it to /etc/mkinitramfs/modules (as dm_mod), but the resulting image doesn't include it. Can anyone  tell me what I'm doing wrong?
[08:05] <sysdoc> naknomik, see this page: http://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/linux/ubuntu-releases/6.06/ and find Alternate install CD
[08:05] <naknomik> KenSentMe: All I want to really find out is if it is possible to install Ubuntu over the network.
[08:06] <ompaul> !install
[08:06] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[08:06] <sysdoc> naknomik, the answer is yes
[08:06] <Consty> When using flash drives with FAT after a while of using them in ubuntu they begin to have some weird problems.  I get a FAT filesystem panic and it remounts it as read only.. the only way to fix it is to bring the drive to windows and repair it using chkdsk
[08:06] <Consty> Any idea as to why this happens?
[08:06] <Consty> If I switch to fat32 will it repair the problem?
[08:06] <ompaul> naknomik, read the wiki page there - be aware that there is also help.ubuntu.com as a url
[08:07] <naknomik> sysdoc: OK let me check
[08:07] <goki-> Consty, are you unmounting the drive before removing it?
[08:07] <jbwiv> I will ship the first person to answer an nice, slightly chilled Guiness...
[08:07] <idefix> is it possible for anyone to see my desktopwallpaper?
[08:07] <Consty> goki-: Yes.. the only thing that I cannot be sure of is when shutting down ubuntu while the drive is in the slot
[08:07] <Consty> goki-: I'm assuming ubuntu auto umounts it...
[08:08] <Consty> goki-: but maybe not?
[08:08] <Ares> idefix: What do you mean?
[08:08] <d2812> idefix : if they are behind you - yeah :)
[08:08] <idefix> well, remote desktopping should be possible now in the year 2006
[08:08] <goki-> Consty, it should do yup
[08:08] <rtux> Ok.. this question is important for me now. Does Dapper update provide new driver configurations or just apps and security?
[08:08] <Ares> idefix: Through a remote connection or if they are behind/near you, then yes.
[08:08] <Consty> goki-: yeah well I'm still getting the problem...  its very weird
[08:08] <goki-> Consty, FAT32 is better than FAT, so it seems worth a try
[08:08] <idefix> how can one make such a remote connection? is it difficult?
[08:08] <goki-> well, FAT32 vs FAT16
[08:09] <Ares> idefix: It is out of the scope of this chat, but you can google around for OpenSSH how-to and such.
[08:09] <wiking> how to install opera? i have deb package on desktop.
[08:09] <jme> Anyone have experience getting Atmel wireless cards to work?
[08:09] <dgh1973> idefix: VNC is a method of doing this, however X itself allows this with "xhost +" on your box and someone else doing xwd and pointing to your IP and X session port
[08:09] <dgh1973> idefix: be aware of the security implications of that though
[08:10] <idefix> so if someone is remotely using my desktop, bad guys could hack my PC?
[08:10] <_absolution_> where would I get Aterm?
[08:10] <Ares> idefix: Um, sorta.
[08:10] <dgh1973> idefix: with VNC you set a password
[08:10] <Ares> Idefix: Don't let it be a weak/stupid password.
[08:11] <dgh1973> idefix: with "xhost +" you potentially open up more
[08:11] <d2812> wiking: try dpkg -i filename
[08:11] <dgh1973> idefix: but if you just want to show someone your desktop wallpaper it's probably safer/easier to send them an email
[08:12] <Spec> hey, i'm at an airport and I'm trying to apt-get update and I'm getting stuck on "Waiting for headers", i can ftp into archive.ubuntu.com and I can wget from archive.ubuntu.com as well ... why does it stay stuck at 'waiting for headers'?
[08:12] <idefix> it is really awesome
[08:13] <Lynoure> Spec: does it normally work for you?
[08:13] <dgh1973> idefix: xhost can be fine tuned to allow only certain ip's or users to, if you know the ip addy of your friend you can do "xhost + ip_address" and tell them to do something like "xwd your_ip:6000" (something like that)
[08:13] <wiking> d2812: dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
[08:13] <saik0> idefix, Theres also FreeNx which tunnels an X session through ssh, and has better compression than just xhost
[08:13] <Spec> Lynoure: yes
[08:13] <m_tadeu> hi....can anyone help with SynCE?
[08:13] <Ignite_> hey, i'm having a big of an issue here, i wiped windows, copied my data from another hard disk that used the NTFS file system until now, reformated it as ext3, edited /etc/fstab to use it as my home, (obviously backing up me /home data first.. deleting it and restoring it) then copied my data to my home directory, now i can't access them, i've even tried "sudo chmod -R 777 /home/oliver/*" out of frustration, any ideas?
[08:13] <Ares> !info SynCE
[08:13] <ubotu> Package SynCE does not exist in dapper
[08:13] <Spec> Lynoure: what could they possibly block to not let apt get the headers? I can wget just finen ...
[08:14] <Spec> -n
[08:14] <Lynoure> Spec: this is an insomniac advice, but I'd say not to get worried about it, updage later unless you know there is a serious security bug in need of fixing and blame the airport net unless it happens again elsewhere
[08:15] <dgh1973> Could be proxy problem?
[08:15] <Spec> i suppose, but wget works fine, doesn't apt just use wget or the equivalent?
[08:15] <slonnik> hi all guys
[08:15] <Spec> i mean, apt only commmunicates over port 80 as far as i know
[08:15] <dgh1973> Spec: yes I think you are correct
[08:15] <ropex> Hi
[08:15] <Spec> so unless they have a specific content filter against .debs or something akin to that
[08:15] <Lynoure> Spec: yep, me too, that's why the advice.
[08:16] <debarshi> ropex, hi
[08:16] <wiking> d2812: ???

[08:16] <Reven> hey
[08:16] <d2812> wiking: do you get opera depends on libqt3-mt (>= 3.3.4); ?

[08:17] <cntb> !xchat
[08:17] <ubotu> I know nothing about xchat

[08:17] <Reven> dew living hot
[08:17] <Spec> I wanna try to specifically wget a header file and see what happens
[08:17] <slonnik> i would like say great thanx to authors of ubuntu i really enjoyed it
[08:17] <wiking> d2812: ??? what a libqt3 ???
[08:17] <Reven> for what is this channel????
[08:17] <d2812> wiking: is that the message you get?
[08:18] <Reven> please answer me
[08:18] <dgh1973> Reven: support
[08:18] <Reven> thanks
[08:18] <wiking> d2812: which one?
[08:18] <cntb> slslonnik it is many contributors and Canonical
[08:18] <dgh1973> Reven: Topic explains purpose
[08:18] <Jack_Sparrow> ropex:  did you try synaptic or apt-get first
[08:18] <Lynoure> Reven: It's a support channel for Ubuntu Linux
[08:18] <d2812> wiking: "opera depends on libqt3-mt (>= 3.3.4);"
[08:18] <juztin> hi, i have a wireless logitech keyboard that has some buttons on it for media control....i would really like to get them working with amarok.  how do i do this?
[08:19] <cntb> juztin not a clue
[08:19] <cntb> must be logitech's  responsibility
[08:19] <wiking> d2812: no, opera depends on libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.2.1)
[08:20] <Lynoure> Spec: you country try fiddling with apt.conf for warmth and passtime
[08:20] <Ignite_> omg help!, none of my data will retain its permissions or ownership info, i can't access it unless using sudo! please help me :(
[08:20] <Spec> have
[08:20] <Spec> :)
[08:20] <slonnik> cntb: i am a newre in the linux and ubutnu is really iwas loking for
[08:20] <dgh1973> juztin: try looking into "dcop", amarok probably has a bunch of dcop calls that can be issued to it for various functions.  There is a keybinding utility in KDE (sorry forgot name of it) that can map keystrokes to dcop functions
[08:21] <sja> chown and/or chmod
[08:21] <d2812> wiking : type "sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt"
[08:21] <juztin> dgh1973, i'm using gnome though
[08:21] <cntb> ubuntu is the friendliest linux ever
[08:21] <Ignite_> sja, if you were talking to me, i've tried that
[08:21] <d2812> that gets the missing dependancy
[08:21] <Ignite_> sja, it won't retain it, but i get no errors
[08:21] <bur[n] er_>  juztin dgh1973: kdcop is the kde thing
[08:21] <slonnik> cntb: i am reading article about windows vista and smiling :)
[08:21] <juztin> bur[n] er_, but i'm using gnome, will it still work?
[08:21] <blackmabool> how can i update to the latest flash player?
[08:22] <bur[n] er_> juztin: yes... amarok is a kde app... so it uses dcop calls
[08:22] <d2812> wiking: you may then have to type "sudo apt-get -f install"
[08:22] <Lynoure> Spec: the pipeline depth might be worth trying
[08:22] <Jack_Sparrow> lgnite data from whic program?
[08:22] <Spec> pipeline depth?
[08:22] <juztin> bur[n] er_, ok thanks :)
[08:22] <juztin> dgh1973, thanks :)
[08:22] <sja> ignite-> do a "sudo chown yourid:yourgroup *" in the directory above what you want to change
[08:22] <dgh1973> juztin: in that case you can get a utility called xbindkeys and follow similar advice, most kde apps should launch the dcop server when they run (I think at least) so they can receive signals, xbindkeys is a generic keymapping program
[08:22] <sja> uh, make that "sudo chown -R yourid:yourgroup *"
[08:22] <d2812> wiking : that got opera working on my machine
[08:22] <Lynoure> Spec: (but like I said before, I'm working on way too little sleep... so my advice is to be taken with loads of caution today)
[08:22] <cntb> slonnik: check this out http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
[08:23] <naknomik> Is there a way to upgrade from 5.0 to 6.06?
[08:23] <Eazy-> juztin: http://www.yoper.com/wiki/index.php?title=Setting_up_multimedia_keyboards_in_Yoper
[08:23] <Ignite_> sja right, i will try, but i've done it before, only without the group part
[08:23] <Eazy-> this works in ubuntu also
[08:23] <dgh1973> juztin: unfortunately you are running into a classic dilemma of running applications that are not fully integrated with your desktop
[08:23] <Eazy-> but you need to bind all buttons in each program
[08:23] <Ignite_> sja, no change
[08:23] <sysdoc> naknomik, yea can do it through the net
[08:23] <juztin> Eazy-, checkin it out, thanks :)
[08:23] <cntb> I can hear flight personnel from NASA thru Real PLayer on ubuntu right now

[08:24] <cntb> some 30 min or so to launch
[08:24] <Flamekebab> Aloha guys
[08:24] <sja> ignite-> Hmmm, strange ... in that case, I dunno
[08:24] <Spec> Lynoure: what is pipe line depth?
[08:24] <dgh1973> juztin: you could probably make them work in rhythmbox but making them work in a kde app will take a bit of work
[08:24] <Ignite_> sja, thanks anyway
[08:24] <d2812> wiking : that after the -f install?
[08:24] <sysdoc> naknomik, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DapperUpgrades
[08:24] <juztin> dgh1973, i gotta get it to work lol....i like amarok way too much, and i don't like kde
[08:24] <Flamekebab> I'm wondering whether anyone has any advice to me on using Kino under Dapper
[08:24] <naknomik> sysdoc: yup reading that.
[08:24] <sja> ignite->, create a root password ("sudo passwd root"), then su root (rather than being stuck using sudo) ...
[08:25] <wiking> d2812: yes
[08:25] <sja> ignite-> and try again
[08:25] <Lynoure> Spec: see man apt.conf   , it prolly won't help but maybe might, if there is something seriously wrong with the proxy there
[08:25] <erUSUL> !root
[08:25] <xeph> Help! I just got my Ubuntu 6.06 from ShipIt today and I can't upgrade from Breezy. How do I go about doing so?
[08:25] <dgh1973> juztin: if you are determined enough do a bit of research on dcop calls, you'll understand what I mean in time, and xbindkeys, I think those will do the trick for you
[08:25] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:25] <blackmabool> how can i update to the latest flash player?
[08:25] <wdh> hi ppls.. i currently have a second harddrive with an LVM, mounted on /data. I am planning to replace the harddrive with a larger one and use the existing for something else. I would like to get rid of the LVM part too.. Does anyone see any complications for doing it like this? "dd if=/dev/mapper/lvmvolume of=/dev/hdc1"??
[08:25] <Flamekebab> I've got it working but I need it to allow me to import MP4 files, taken with my nokia N70
[08:25] <juztin> dgh1973, ok, thanks!
[08:25] <dgh1973> juztin: xbindkeys also allows you to "detect" the keystrokes by pressing them in a little window and it will spit out the code to use in an .xbindkeysrc file
[08:25] <slonnik> cntb i like tha everythin is in my power and everything is free
[08:25] <erUSUL> sja: the ubuntu way is sudo -i (which will give you a root shell)
[08:25] <d2812> wiking : what happens if you try opera at the command line?
[08:26] <juztin> dgh1973, really...i need that
[08:26] <sysdoc> naknomik, be aware that if your current kernel is a custom compiled one, then that method may not install the drivers and can fail. It did on me
[08:26] <d2812> wiking sorry, type opera at the command line
[08:26] <concept10> how do I clear a package that will not install?
[08:26] <senn> xeph. i had breezy and upgraded with the download link it worked fine
[08:26] <juztin> dgh1973, xev does that as well
[08:26] <slonnik> of cause in my country windows is very chip and you can by it everywhere :)
[08:26] <wiking> d2812: /usr/lib/opera/9.00-20060616.5/opera: error while loading shared libraries: libqt-mt.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

[08:26] <xeph> senn, I'm on dialup, it'll take me ages to upgrade via the internet
[08:26] <Lynoure> Spec: out of curiousity, which airport?
[08:27] <sja> erUSUL->  I know, the ubuntu way ... don't make it the right way ... sometimes you need root without the sudo BS
[08:27] <dgh1973> juztin: yeah, then you just do something like "dcop amorok function to play" and map that to a key, you'll need to learn exactly what dcop calls amorok likes though.  Ya xev to, I think there are others as well - good luck to you!
[08:27] <cntb> http://www.nasa.gov/ram/35037main_portal.ram
[08:27] <Flamekebab> no one on here has any experience using Kino?
[08:27] <sysdoc> naknomik, Then just download the CD and just go for it!
[08:27] <spikeb> sja: no you don't. that's what sudo -i is for
[08:27] <d2812> wiking : what happened after you typed  "sudo apt-get install libqt3-mt"?
[08:27] <erUSUL> sja: if you need root (account) then is a bug in ubuntu and should be submited bugs.ubuntu.com ;)
[08:28] <sja> spikeb-> still rather have a real root account
[08:28] <chrisbudden14> evening
[08:28] <spikeb> there's no need for it.
[08:28] <dgh1973> spikeb: agreed
[08:28] <Lynoure> spike, sja: quite the other way around: sometimes you don't want to trust your account with sudo :)
[08:28] <amarokker> Is there any application that allows one to capture a scrolling web page in linux?
[08:28] <Eazy-> juztin: or you can just install KDE and pick your keyboard i kcontrol and it works ;)
[08:28] <Ignite_> hrm.. i've narrowed my problem down a little, i can see permissions etc.. using sudo but not without :'(
[08:28] <aztracker1> okay, trying to change my video card (ubuntu desktop 6.06) from a radeon 7000 series to an nvidia mx4000 series..
[08:28] <wiking> Reading package lists... Done
[08:28] <wiking> Building dependency tree... Done
[08:28] <wiking> You might want to run apt-get -f install to correct these:
[08:28] <wiking> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[08:28] <wiking>   libqt3-mt: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.3.4-1) but 2.3.2.ds1-20ubuntu13 is to be installed
[08:28] <wiking>              Depends: libfontconfig1 (>= 2.3.0) but 2.2.3-4ubuntu7 is to be installed
[08:28] <amarokker> or do i need to cut it and patch it up, bit by bit?
[08:28] <wiking>              Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.0.1) but 1:4.0-0pre6ubuntu7 is to be installed
[08:28] <wiking>              Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 4.0.1) but it is not going to be installed
[08:28] <aztracker1> the display wasn't very good..
[08:28] <dgh1973> that's what editing the sudoers file is for
[08:28] <wiking>   opera: Depends: libqt3c102-mt (>= 3:3.2.1) but it is not installable
[08:28] <wiking> E: Unmet dependencies. Try apt-get -f install with no packages (or specify a solution).
[08:28] <d2812> wiking : stop
[08:28] <aztracker1> how do I get x to reconfigure?
[08:28] <Eazy-> is there not a think like that in gnome?
[08:28] <amarokker> Do'h- whats wiking doing?
[08:29] <erUSUL> wiking: do not paste here use a pastebin please
[08:29] <erUSUL> !pastebin > wiking
[08:29] <cntb> wiking hold your horses boy
[08:29] <wiking> really sorry
[08:29] <d2812> we are trying to get opera working for wiking
[08:29] <juztin> Eazy-, i don't think there is
[08:29] <juztin> Eazy-, i can't find it anyway
[08:29] <sys8976> can someone go look at this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17186 and tell me how I can fix it? This same error has happened on a few installs that I have tried
[08:29] <cntb> you were this close to be kicked by ymoderators
[08:29] <slonnik> d2818 use firefox instead
[08:29] <amarokker> Flamekebab: tell me bout it- :P
[08:29] <senn> xeph then try a app from hiedy called eraser.  make a floppy and boot with it .it will over write your hdd and will leave you with a clean install. warning you WILL loose all your data.
[08:30] <aztracker1> sorry for jumping in... if anyone knows, would be greatly appreciated... how does one have the X redetect the video card, and autoconfig?
[08:30] <aztracker1> like in the initial setup?
[08:30] <dgh1973> juztin: there is, but if it does anything it will do it for rhythmbox, not amorok
[08:30] <d2812> slonnik : wiking wanted to use opera
[08:30] <spikeb> aztracker1: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:30] <dgh1973> juztin: what kind of keyboard?
[08:30] <amarokker> wiking:  i use opera :)
[08:30] <erUSUL> aztracker1: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:30] <Pjay_> hi, just installed ubuntu off the server cd and it doesnt seem to have a gui what do i need to do?
[08:30] <juztin> dgh1973, its a logitech wireless S 510
[08:30] <Eazy-> juztin: the link I gave you is some work, but it will work...its universal for all distros I think....so save the script for the future :)
[08:30] <sys8976> aztracker1: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[08:30] <juztin> dgh1973, the really flat one
[08:30] <sja> ignite-> if you can see the permissions with sudo, can you changed them?  You really need to change the ownership to yourself.
[08:31] <slonnik> d2812 hmm starnge maybe it will be easier to explain that firefox is much better
[08:31] <bjron> anyone got a favorite program for reducing the bitrate (and I would hope the file size) of an ogg vorbis file?
[08:31] <MrGreen> !eth0

[08:31] <sys8976> can someone go look at this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17186 and tell me how I can fix it? This same error has happened on a few installs that I have tried
[08:31] <MrGreen> !lan
[08:31] <ubotu> I know nothing about lan
[08:31] <d2812> wiking : can you paste that message at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[08:31] <MrGreen> !ethernet
[08:31] <ubotu> I know nothing about ethernet
[08:31] <amarokker> and i think, firefox's better now in terms of performance.
[08:31] <amarokker> hahaha.
[08:31] <Consty> Flamekebab: About the only useful one is mencoder, but its all command line so its not very user friendly
[08:31] <Flamekebab> urgh
[08:31] <erUSUL> Pjay_: a server usually do not need a gui ;) you can isntall one (sudo apt-get install { xk}ubuntu-desktop)
[08:32] <MrGreen> running ubuntu dapper trying to set up network (lan)
[08:32] <Flamekebab> Sometimes I really HATE Linux.
[08:32] <dgh1973> juztin: there are a handful of logitech layout options in System>Preferences>Keyboard (then layouts tab) but again if it's there and it detects the keys it will probably only set up bindings that will operate with rhythmbox
[08:32] <juztin> Eazy-, mysteriously enough, the volume up/down button already works for system volume
[08:32] <aztracker1> -bash: sudu: command not found
[08:32] <MrGreen> added modules for lan card but!!
[08:32] <spikeb> aztracker1: sudo, not sudu :)
[08:32] <amarokker> Flamekebab: you might find what you're looking for on KDe-apps.org
[08:32] <Eazy-> did for me aswell
[08:32] <Flamekebab> we've got about four hundred editors, countless LaTeX things
[08:32] <aztracker1> lol, my bad..
[08:32] <Consty> Flamekebab: thats about the only program I wish I had too.
[08:32] <Eazy-> but not the other buttons
[08:32] <Flamekebab> but few good medium-skilled end-users  apps
[08:32] <Consty> Flamekebab: It'd be nice to have something like virtualdub for linux
[08:32] <MrGreen> I need to set up network
[08:32] <Flamekebab> hell yes
[08:32] <Eazy-> got a internet logitech
[08:32] <Pjay_> erUSUL, the desktop cd sounded like a live cd in the description, would i be best off just getting the other cd and reinstalling
[08:32] <Flamekebab> I have videos from my Nokia N70
[08:32] <Flamekebab> in MP4 format
[08:32] <Flamekebab> not sure on codec
[08:33] <[Fractal] > hi!, I have some problems installing linux, could somebody help me ?
[08:33] <sys8976> erUSUL: can you go look at the pastebin I have set or are you tied up right now?
[08:33] <Flamekebab> but I'd hazard a guess at H264
[08:33] <dgh1973> whats the problem [Fractal] ?
[08:33] <amarokker> Flamekebab: can you sync it with linux?
[08:33] <sys8976> Fractal what is going on?
[08:33] <amarokker> i mean the N70-
[08:33] <Flamekebab> not a clue, ne'er tried
[08:33] <Flamekebab> might do at some point though
[08:33] <erUSUL> Pjay_: if you have inet connection doing what i said will install everything you need afaik (sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop)
[08:33] <Flamekebab> currently I'm more concerned about getting Kino to open my MP4s
[08:34] <Pjay_> would that be better than just getting the other cd?
[08:34] <senn> fractal go to the ubuntu forums page for the how too's
[08:34] <Flamekebab> I'm quite good at some things under Linux, but my knowledge isn't complete, obviously
[08:34] <erUSUL> sys8976: i looked but that errors are as cryptic to me as they are to you... :(
[08:34] <Flamekebab> but I've got quite a bit of experience with video formats
[08:34] <amarokker> yeah- its a bit of a bother to get the data read through the card reader each time- i tried getting one of those XDA smart phones working usnig KSynCE- it just keeps crashing.
[08:34] <juztin> Eazy-, my mute works as well :P
[08:34] <dgh1973> Flamekebab: I think kino only works with .dv files natively, however it can convert them to other formats or convert other formats to .dv
[08:34] <wiking> d2812: i need just insert my name & text?
[08:34] <Lynoure> sys8976: Was that all of the error?
[08:35] <codecaine> when I open a link from gaim or irc it takes me to http://www.arizona.edu/
[08:35] <Flamekebab> I know that Kino can import MJPEG
[08:35] <codecaine> what could cause that?
[08:35] <d2812> wiking : yes
[08:35] <[Fractal] > sys8976, it seems that there is no partitions on my hard drives
[08:35] <Consty> Flamekebab: Well the creator of virtualdub said that anyone can use the code to try and port it
[08:35] <Flamekebab> and I think it can handle DivX too
[08:35] <Eazy-> juztin: didnt for me...must be becaus we dont have exactly the same keyboard
[08:35] <Flamekebab> Consty - I can do many things, but sadly, coding isn't one of them
[08:35] <Lynoure> sys8976: someones one gets info about in what part the error was ran into.
[08:35] <sysdoc> Flamekebab, see the forum there are posts with lists of programs that you can use for different tasks there...
[08:35] <juztin> Eazy-, i also have a home key that i'd like to get setup so when i hit it, it opens nautilus
[08:35] <Flamekebab> I've not got the logical and mathematical mind required
[08:35] <wiking> d2812: & send?
[08:35] <dgh1973> Flamekebab: right and mpeg2 as well, forgot
[08:35] <Ignite_> http://pastecode.com/962 <-= please can someone help? i really need my data, i have over 30GB of files/work which i can't access, that paste is the output of "ls -l Music/" from my home directory
[08:35] <erUSUL> [Fractal] : paste the output of 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/hdxx' in a pastebin
[08:35] <Eazy-> juztin: have you tried to just bind your keys in amarok?
[08:36] <juztin> Eazy-, not sure how
[08:36] <wiking> d2812: yap
[08:36] <Flamekebab> sysdoc - posted on the forum both in [desktop]  support and in the mailing list
[08:36] <dgh1973> Flamekebab: does it not even offer to import them to a dv format? (the mpeg4s?)
[08:36] <Flamekebab> got ignored there too
[08:36] <martyn> How to i auto mount NTFS Partions
[08:36] <Flamekebab> when I try and open them, it tries to import them
[08:36] <Flamekebab> but fails
[08:36] <Flamekebab> same with 3GPs
[08:36] <Lynoure> sys8976: what happens if you install them in smaller bits? I think you can e.g. install clvm first
[08:36] <Flamekebab> I'm only really concerned with MP4s though at present
[08:36] <sja> ignite-> Ugh!  That's ugly!  No idea that's going on
[08:36] <sysdoc> Flamekebab, No, do a search there are already posts there with lists of pgms to use.
[08:37] <dgh1973> Flamekebab: difficult thing is, if it's a proprietary format people may not know much or care to help
[08:37] <Eazy-> juztin: in amarok --> settings ---> global shortcuts
[08:37] <Consty> Flamekebab: Ohhhh I found something.
[08:37] <Consty> Flamekebab: http://fixounet.free.fr/avidemux/  looks promising!
[08:37] <juztin> Eazy-, yeah, just found it....it doesn't work
[08:37] <slugicide> Hello all.  when I try to 'dpkg --configure -a' it stalls at the flashplugin part.  It just hangs there.  Any suggestions?
[08:37] <sys8976> Lynoure: thanks I will look into that one
[08:37] <codecaine> how can I make it so when I right click on my desktop I can choose gnome terminal?
[08:37] <juztin> Eazy-, you can't type in a keycode, you have to hit the key...and when i hit the key, nothing comes up
[08:37] <Jack_Sparrow> martyn: do you want them mounted every time you boot and do you intend to write to them..  Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[08:38] <d2812> wiking : just reading now
[08:38] <martyn> Jack_Sparrow: no mate its just for acsess i was givven a auto mount script in here before but cant find it any where
[08:38] <Eazy-> juztin: then go on with the guide then :)
[08:38] <Eazy-> will work
[08:38] <sys8976> Lynoure: sorry scrolled up and seen what is all error that is it out of terminal. I was redoing my xorg config with dpkg and that is what I got at the end of the config
[08:38] <Ignite_> erUSUL, i've been trying that for hours
[08:38] <Jack_Sparrow> That was me.. diskmounter
[08:38] <[Fractal] > erUSUL fdisk returns nothing
[08:38] <Flamekebab> I know it's a proprietary format, but what am I supposed to do, buy only hardware that deals natively in open video codecs?
[08:39] <dgh1973> Thanks JAck
[08:39] <Ignite_> erUSUL, i can only see the file permissions/owner/group info with sudo
[08:39] <Jack_Sparrow> http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter
[08:39] <Eazy-> juztin: leave the buttons that allready works
[08:39] <erUSUL> Ignite_: what is the error you get when you try the comand?
[08:39] <wiking> d2812: ok
[08:39] <juztin> Eazy-, will i have to install KDE?  it's telling me to go to a directory ~/.kde/Autostart ... i have the directory .kde for some reason, but no autostart....and kde isn't installed
[08:39] <Ignite_> erUSUL, none.. not one
[08:39] <dgh1973> Flamekebab: that's what stallman would tell you, but we all know reality is more complex than that
[08:39] <Flamekebab> Stallman's a dogmatic git though
[08:39] <dgh1973> Flamekebab: check out www.getautomatix.org
[08:39] <dgh1973> Flamekebab: /agreed
[08:39] <Flamekebab> shall do later, dgh1973
[08:39] <Eazy-> juztin: think there is some autostart in gnome...I dont know
[08:40] <martyn> Jack_Sparrow: no mate its just for acsess i was givven a auto mount script in here before but cant find it any where
[08:40] <slugicide> Hello all.  when I try to 'dpkg --configure -a' it stalls at the flashplugin part.  It just hangs there.  Any suggestions?
[08:40] <Lynoure> sys8976: also, in some cases doing sudo dpkg --configure --pending in some cases can help
[08:40] <codecaine> can you smb to windows from ubuntu?
[08:40] <Jack_Sparrow> Diskmounter says you dont need to reboot, but to see them on the desktop you will need to restert
[08:40] <Flamekebab> I'm currently chatting from a Xubuntu live CD distro
[08:40] <codecaine> like make file shares on ubuntu
[08:40] <dgh1973> Eazy-: System>Preferences>Sessions
[08:40] <Flamekebab> in the process of installing it
[08:40] <d2812> wiking : try running apt-get -f install again, afaik, that *should* fix the dependancy issue for libqt3-mt
[08:40] <erUSUL> Ignite_: but the files do not change the mod nor the owner/group, right?
[08:40] <Flamekebab> wanted to get some useful info for use on my laptop later
[08:40] <dgh1973> Eazy-: Then startup programs tab
[08:40] <Flamekebab> Stallman would be pleased though - all my music is in Ogg Vorbis!
[08:40] <Flamekebab> 20GB iRiver = digital audio luvin'
[08:41] <Eazy-> juztin: you saw what dgh1973 just wrote? :)
[08:41] <Ignite_> erUSUL, thats right
[08:41] <juztin> Eazy-, yup
[08:41] <aztracker1> thanks for the help... working now.. :)
[08:41] <Consty> Flamekebab: Wow it looks REALLY promising actually.. I'm messing with it right now
[08:41] <Eazy-> :)
[08:41] <erUSUL> Ignite_: what type of filesystem does Music live?
[08:41] <aztracker1> spikeb, erUSUL, sys8976, thanks.. later
[08:41] <Ignite_> erUSUL, ext3
[08:41] <Eazy-> I feel it kind of hard to follow what ppl says here...so much text :P
[08:41] <martyn> how do i mount an NTFS and FAT 32 partions ?
[08:42] <sys8976> welcome later
[08:42] <spikeb> aztracker1: no problem, glad i could help
[08:42] <dgh1973> bbl all
[08:42] <sys8976> Lynoure: yea I did sudo but I had 3 others things installing at same time :D
[08:42] <Ignite_> marcels, mount -t vfat (or ntfs) /dev/<device> <location to mount>
[08:42] <Ignite_> martyn, *
[08:42] <Ignite_> i should stop using tab complete in such full channels..
[08:42] <erUSUL> Ignite_: it is very weird root (sudo) should be able to change de perms and owner and everythin of the files
 i had a n auto mount last time i was in here
[08:43] <erUSUL> !ntfs > martyn
[08:43] <sys8976> well ALL I am out I am going to go burn the yard down grilling since we are celebrating the 4th here have fun and stay true to OSS happy 4th to those that it applies to everyone else have a great day/night
[08:43] <[Fractal] > erUSUL, I have done fdisk -l /dev/hdxx and I have no answer
[08:43] <juztin> Eazy-, hmmm....now i need the KDE command-line commands i think
[08:43] <Ignite_> erUSUL, it does change them, but only sudo can _see_ the changes, "oliver" can't
[08:43] <[Fractal] > not error, nor messages
[08:43] <martyn> thx mate
[08:43] <thotz> Has anybody got a DESKJET 6840? I'm having a problem with it when I print from OpenOffice!
[08:43] <erUSUL> Ignite_: but you changed the owner to the user you want?
[08:43] <Ignite_> yes
[08:43] <Ignite_> "oliver" owns all the files in /home/oliver
[08:44] <Ignite_> which is where Music resides
[08:44] <Flamekebab> is it easy to encode to theora under linux?
[08:44] <Ignite_> erUSUL, all the files which i have the problem with were originally on a NTFS partition
[08:44] <Eazy-> juztin: for what you mean?
[08:44] <erUSUL> [Fractal] : estoy en ubuntu-es hablemaos all hay menos jaleo
[08:44] <[Fractal] > ok, gracias
[08:45] <slugicide> Anyone know why dpkg hangs when installing flashplugin-nonfree?
[08:45] <wiking> d2812: how to stop file loading? :/
[08:45] <erUSUL> Ignite_: have you tried the chown command as i told you?
[08:45] <Lynoure> sys8976: Have fun, don't get burned.
[08:45] <juztin> Eazy-, maybe not...but i dont' understand what i'm supposed to put for the last part in the text file you create...for instance, from his example, #email client ... is that just for reference, or is that a command?
[08:45] <Consty> Flamekebab: holy crap!  it works for what I need it for.. I like to strip certain stuff out of anime episodes like intro and ending.. and it works perfect for it
[08:45] <Flamekebab> sweet monkey tuesdays!
[08:45] <d2812> wiking : on the phone
[08:46] <Flamekebab> do you reckon it'll open MP4s and allow me to save as a format Kino will like?
[08:46] <juztin> Eazy-, nevermind
[08:46] <Flamekebab> oooooh, just had an idea
[08:46] <juztin> Eazy-, it's comments
[08:46] <Eazy->  juztin: just for reference
[08:46] <Ignite_> erUSUL, i've been playing with chown, chmod and chgrp for hours now, numerous different settings, i can only see permission info with ls -l if i use sudo, not just executing ls -l normally, and no other program (like amarok) can access the files either
[08:46] <zHack> hey, for some odd reason ubuntu will not install on my old laptop. its like the cd drive just stops
[08:46] <Flamekebab> if mencoder is command line, couldn't I write a bash script that I could quickly run on video files?
[08:46] <spikeb> Flamekebab: yes you could
[08:46] <wiking> d2812: sorry, please wait 96%
[08:47] <Consty> Flamekebab: it seems like it
[08:47] <Flamekebab> sometimes Linux rocks my face
[08:47] <Flamekebab> however, what's the bet that I'll try and fail hopelessly?
[08:47] <spikeb> you got the whole love/hate thing going on :)
[08:47] <Flamekebab> of course
[08:47] <Flamekebab> better than Windows where it's just a hate/hate relationship
[08:47] <zHack> is there some where that i can get ubuntu or xubuntu in a zip file?
[08:47] <Dragonfyre13> Hey guys.  I have a question about my ethernet.
[08:47] <Dragonfyre13> zHack, Iso is the nly way to go.
[08:47] <Flamekebab> but what can you expect from a relationship with such a gold-digger?
[08:48] <zHack> ok
[08:48] <erUSUL> Ignite_: well i'm afraid i can not help you further... if chmod nor chown con change nothing of the files i'm at a lost. ow do you copied them to the ext3 partition?
[08:48] <Ignite_> erUSUL, http://pastecode.com/963 <-= thats the output of running the command using sudo (sudo ls -l Music/)
[08:48] <Dragonfyre13> zHack, sorry.
[08:48] <zHack> becuase my cable is running slow and is taking for ever to download xubunut
[08:48] <Dragonfyre13> zhack, Try using shipit.
[08:48] <Flamekebab> torrent!
[08:48] <slugicide> So, no help for slugicide?  Come back later?  OK, come back later.
[08:48] <Dragonfyre13> zhack, yes, try torrents.
[08:48] <[Fractal] > bye, thanks for all
[08:49] <Ignite_> erUSUL, i copied them to /backup, then erased the partition they were originally on, formatted that as ext3 and copied them back
[08:49] <zHack> im running at like 14 KB/sec
[08:49] <popi> #xubuntu
[08:49] <Flamekebab> torrents are better than an orgy with five gymnastically-inclined amazonian princesses
[08:49] <_absolution_> if I download an iso file of a distro will it be installed right away?
[08:49] <juztin> Eazy-, this is the part that's not gonna work...i've made the autostart file....but its talking about configuring it to work in kde
[08:49] <Dragonfyre13> zHack, that's not the cable, that's the source. Try a different mirror, or us torrents.
[08:49] <zHack> ok
[08:49] <sysdoc> Flamekebab, lol
[08:49] <d2812> flamekebab : thats debatable :)
[08:49] <erUSUL> Ignite_: what are the permisions of Music (the folder)
[08:50] <Dragonfyre13> Flamekebab, No. No, nothing is better than that. Except perhaps 6.
[08:50] <Flamekebab> hehe
[08:50] <sys8976> Lynoure: hehe thanks
[08:50] <Ignite_> erUSUL, http://pastecode.com/964
[08:51] <Flamekebab> Consty - any luck with avidemux?
[08:51] <Dragonfyre13> I have a question about my ethernet, if someone can help. I think my port is only running at 10 mbps, and it is a gigabit ethernet card. I really just want to bump it to 100 mbps...
[08:51] <mp3guy> when I do sudo apt-get install libgtk2.0-dev I get this: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17189 Whats wrong?
[08:51] <fwtest> i use ubuntu on my centrino laptop, is there any package i can controll the processor frequence?
[08:51] <Eazy-> Juztin: you just made a script that will autostart on both gnome and kde....you just have to do as dgh1973 said
[08:51] <Dragonfyre13> fwtest cpuz
[08:51] <Flamekebab> Don't buy from www.scratchcomputers.com
[08:51] <zHack> what do i need to open a torrent?
[08:51] <Seveas> mp3guy, disable quinnstorms repos
[08:51] <zHack> BitTorrent?
[08:51] <Flamekebab> zHack - a bit torrent client
[08:51] <Dragonfyre13> yep
[08:52] <Ignite_> o.O
[08:52] <fwtest> Dragonfyre13, apt shows nothing about cpuz
[08:52] <Seveas> mp3guy, and probably: downgrade lots of packages to non-quinnstorm versions
[08:52] <Seveas> or ask quinnstorm to fix his things
[08:52] <mp3guy> ok
[08:52] <zHack> what do you think is the best install, ubuntu or xubunutu
[08:52] <Dragonfyre13> fwtest, yep, grab it off sourceforge, or there should be a deb out there.
[08:52] <Dragonfyre13> fwtest, hang on.
[08:53] <Zoba> Hello
[08:53] <erUSUL> Ignite_: i can not see what may be the problem... evething seems just fine...
[08:53] <fwtest> Dragonfyre13, you know other package? because i prefer anything, which can be found in apt repo
[08:53] <Zoba> I'm installing ubuntu for my little brother, but I wonder if there are any good parental control options for his computer?
[08:53] <zHack> what is the best install for a old laptop, Ubunutu or Xubuntu
[08:53] <Dragonfyre13> hang on then. fwtest
[08:53] <Ignite_> erUSUL, you don't understand, i can do anything i want with the files as sudo, but without sudo i can't even see the permissions
[08:53] <Zoba> zHack probably xubuntu
[08:54] <fwtest> hang on?
[08:54] <canihojr> hi
[08:54] <juztin> Eazy-, ok i screwed up something...now my key between d and g doesn't work (i can't type it to tell you), as well as my carriage return
[08:54] <canihojr> any people can help me whit x11vnc?? :(
[08:54] <zHack> thats what i was thinking, what about the alternate install?
[08:54] <Dragonfyre13> fwtest, cpudyn
[08:55] <fwtest> which should i install so that i have build directory in /lib/modules/2.6.* ?
[08:55] <Dragonfyre13> I have a question about my ethernet, if someone can help. I think my port is only running at 10 mbps, and it is a gigabit ethernet card. I really just want to bump it to 100 mbps...
[08:55] <fwtest> i have problem compiling something, which ubuntu cant find
[08:55] <d2812> Ignite: sorry to butt in, but what is the permissions of the parent folder?
[08:55] <fwtest> make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.15-25-386/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[08:55] <erUSUL> Ignite_: yes i understand you... but i do not know why is that the case if the owner of the files and folder is oliver he should be able to do everything he wants to. is Music in a separate partition?
[08:55] <juztin> gonna restart
[08:55] <sponix> is there an easy way to switch over from gdm to kdm, or another like xdm ?
[08:55] <zHack> what does the alternate install do? is it better for an older computer with less ram?
[08:56] <Dragonfyre13> fwtest, grab the headers for your current kernel version.
[08:56] <fwtest> Dragonfyre13, cpudyn or powernowd is better?
[08:56] <Eazy-> juztin: as you dont yet have it in any autostart it will be as it were if you reboot/logout login
[08:56] <Dragonfyre13> fwtest, I hear powernowd has some problems.
[08:56] <fwtest> Dragonfyre13, i installed linux-headers-2.6.15-23 and kernel-headers-2.4.27-2, but it doesnt fix the problem
[08:56] <Eazy-> then you perhaps need to do it all over again :/
[08:57] <Dragonfyre13> create a symlink to the folders for them in /usr/src
[08:57] <Dragonfyre13> call the symlink "linux"
[08:57] <Dragonfyre13> g2g guys, sorry.
[08:57] <fwtest> brb, italy vs german is started ;)
[08:58] <Ares> Lol.

[09:02] <kristian> Hatred, you here?
[09:02] <erUSUL> Ignite_: dohhh!!!! :S
[09:02] <Eazy-> juztin: think it will work if you do it right
[09:03] <zHack> cna anyone give me an idea why my download speeds are so slow?
[09:03] <zHack> i run a cable moden
[09:03] <erUSUL> Ignite_: well i've been of little help... :(
[09:03] <zHack> modem*
[09:03] <Ignite_> erUSUL, yeah :)
[09:03] <Ignite_> i owe you one for all the time you spent helping ;)
[09:04] <juztin> Eazy-, i'm gonna do some more research on it....maybe i'll even give kde a shot
[09:04] <zHack> Does anyone have any idea as to why my download speeds are really really slow?
[09:04] <juztin> Eazy-, never actually tried kde...i just never used it cuz i heard it was way slower than gnome
[09:04] <Jowi> zHack: "sudo ethtool eth0" and see what Speed and Duplex say
[09:04] <Eazy-> juztin: for me Gnome is slower than KDE
[09:04] <zHack> well this really isnt a linux think im running windows
[09:05] <juztin> whats the easiest way to install kde?
[09:05] <zHack> trying to download xubunutu
[09:05] <Eazy-> through Synaptic
[09:05] <Jowi> zHack: then you should ask in #windows or ask your ISP
[09:05] <affan> Hi all, I have already installed Java SDK on my Xubuntu 6.06. but cant access the plugin through the browser. I thought it installs the plugin on install? How do i configure it? thanks!
[09:05] <dash`> I broke something
[09:05] <Jowi> zHack: ...or try a different download mirror for xubuntu
[09:05] <dash`> sudo: apt-get: command not found
[09:05] <MetaMorfoziS> can i calculate md5sum from a directory
[09:06] <zHack> Jowi: it isnt hust xubuntu its also bit torrent
[09:06] <MetaMorfoziS> can i calculate md5sum from a directory?
[09:06] <Jowi> zHack: then my first advice still holds :)
[09:06] <dash`> sudo: apt-get: command not found
[09:06] <Fatal`> how do i run a script like script.sh
[09:07] <dash`> I think thats bad
[09:07] <zHack> Jowi:ok thanks
[09:07] <MetaMorfoziS> sh script.sg
[09:07] <ACEa> what is the status of the libavcodec-dev package? I only get compilation errors when I try to use it
[09:07] <MetaMorfoziS> can i calculate md5sum from a directory?
[09:07] <FunnyLookinHat> MetaMorfoziS, I don't think so
[09:07] <Ares> How would you revert soemthing you just did in Terminal, or is that not allowed?
[09:07] <FunnyLookinHat> MetaMorfoziS, only if you threw the entire directory into a tar.gz file or something
[09:07] <affan> dash`: remove the : after sudo
[09:07] <MetaMorfoziS> ok, so how can i calculate md5sum from a directory?
[09:07] <FunnyLookinHat> MetaMorfoziS, no, I'm saying that you cannot.
[09:08] <dash`> affan, that is just the error it gives
[09:08] <MetaMorfoziS> i think it calculates all files md5sum
[09:08] <juztin> Eazy-, which one in synaptic?  there are many of them...
[09:08] <MetaMorfoziS> and i get one md5sum from a bigbig directory
[09:08] <dash`> I tried "sudo apt-get update", and that was the lesult
[09:08] <MetaMorfoziS> that i write to dvd, and i can check
[09:08] <affan> dash`: oh
[09:08] <MetaMorfoziS> it's correct?
[09:08] <FunnyLookinHat> Oh , then I have no idea
[09:08] <MetaMorfoziS> or any way to check a writed dvd is correct?
[09:09] <sja> juztin-> install kubuntu-desktop from synaptic
[09:09] <juztin> sja, thx :)
[09:10] <Ares> Does anyone know what the Green and Blue text in Terminal represents? =|
[09:10] <juztin> holy crap, 339mb?!
[09:10] <matti> Ares: Where?
[09:10] <Jowi> Ares: blue = directories. green = executables
[09:10] <Jowi> Ares: light-blue = links
[09:10] <MetaMorfoziS> is there way to check a writed dvd is correct?
[09:10] <Ares> jowi: Thanks, know how to revert or undo a command then?
[09:11] <Jowi> Ares: undo what? you can not undelete files.
[09:11] <Ares> Jowi: I don't want to, I just want to untar a file.
[09:11] <Fatal`> how about running a .run file
[09:11] <Jowi> Ares: tar or tar.gz?
[09:11] <Fatal`> going to try to update my ATI drivers
[09:11] <Ares> Jowi: .tar
[09:12] <juztin> tar xvfz file.tar
[09:12] <Ares> Juztin: That would undo a tar that I just did?
[09:12] <Jowi> Ares: tar zvf file.tar
[09:12] <juztin> oh
[09:12] <dash`> how does one "recover" certain commands?
[09:12] <erUSUL> Fatal`: chmod + x *.run; ./*.run
[09:12] <Eazy-> juztin: sorry, was away for a while...but you allready got the answer :)
[09:12] <juztin> Ares, you want to re-archive it?
[09:12] <juztin> Eazy-, np :D
[09:12] <Flamekebab> Thanks for the ban. I wasn't even advertising!
[09:12] <Jowi> Ares: you can not _undo_ an already extracted file. only delete the directory and files it unpacked
[09:13] <juztin> Eazy-, if i don't like it, i can remove it, right?
[09:13] <Ares> Juztin: I just "unzipped" a tar in the wrong location.
[09:13] <erUSUL> dash`: from bash history? up arrow (Crtl+r to search backwards in history very handy)
[09:13] <Eazy-> juztin: yes
[09:13] <Flamekebab> I was trying to make sure none of you bought from the same useless company I tried to buy from
[09:13] <dash`> I apparently removed something
[09:13] <Eazy-> but you will ;)
[09:13] <juztin> Ares, oh ok...not sure on that one, sorry :P
[09:13] <MetaMorfoziS> is there way to check a writed dvd is correct?
[09:13] <dash`> so now I have no apt-get or man commands
[09:13] <Fatal`> that isn't outputting anything erUSUL
[09:13] <juztin> Eazy-, is it as configurable as far as looks go as gnome?
[09:14] <Ares> Jowi: How do you use -rm and what is in your ~/.mozilla/firefox/ directory? [ So I can just revert it all]
[09:14] <MetaMorfoziS> and what is finalize in the writing?
[09:14] <erUSUL> Ares: if you want to gzip it go ahead gzip *.tar
[09:14] <Phoul> Hello. Im wondering if its safe to install a breezy cd and dist upgrade to dapper
[09:14] <erUSUL> Fatal`: chmod +x *.run; ./*.run
[09:14] <Eazy-> juztin: yepp
[09:14] <Jowi> Ares: read up about basic commands. hang on, i tell ubotu to give you the link
[09:14] <Jowi> ubotu: tell Ares about commands
[09:14] <erUSUL> !commands
[09:14] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via applications -> accessories -> terminal (gnome) or kmenu -> system -> konsole (kde). Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[09:15] <Flamekebab> Consty, you still here?
[09:15] <Eazy-> or even better
[09:15] <Ares> Jowi and erUSUL: Thanks, know about the ~/mozilla/firefox/ folder though?
[09:15] <Jowi> Ares: the .mozilla/firefox contain your firefox settings like some plugins, bookmarks, user preferences aso
[09:15] <Fatal`> ewps, says i need to run this as super user
[09:15] <Fatal`> but the command is working now
[09:16] <Ares> Jowi: I know, but I put a bunch of extra stuff in there and don't know what was the "default"
[09:16] <Jowi> Ares: the most important directory in it is somewierdnumber.default
[09:16] <erUSUL> Ares: you want to delete the directory?
[09:16] <Eazy-> juztin: you can pick gnome or kde to use in gdm
[09:16] <Fatal`> how do i run a file as a super user?  sudo command doesn't work
[09:16] <Ares> erUSUL: No, just the things I just untarred in that directory.
[09:16] <Phoul> !java
[09:16] <ubotu> java is an object oriented programming language. To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the runtime Sun Java install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[09:17] <Phoul> does blackdown work with ubuntu?
[09:17] <juztin> Eazy-, i know...i just wanted to make sure that i could remove it, as the package is like 400mb lol
[09:17] <juztin> Phoul, yup
[09:17] <Jowi> Ares: copy the vlx667667.default (or whatever it is called) directory and profiles.ini. that's basicly what you want to keep if you plan to delete the whole directory
[09:17] <Cybo-Mobile> howdy, running ubuntu, can't ssh IN from a server, I can ssh out from server to a debian box. firstarter is stoped.  Any ideas?
[09:18] <erUSUL> Ares: rm -r ~/.mozilla/firefox/dir_you_want_to_delete (be careful with rm -r it is dangerous and files rm'ed can not be recovered).
[09:18] <toxygen> hi
[09:18] <toxygen> where can i download ubuntu live cd?
[09:18] <Jowi> Ares: vlxblablah.default will have a different name for us all, so you need to see for yourself which one you want to keep.
[09:18] <Cybo-Mobile> ubuntu.com
[09:18] <erUSUL> Ares: maybe is better to do it graphically run 'nautilus ~/.mozilla/firefox/'
[09:18] <Eazy-> juztin: yep, just uninstall everything with the name kde in synaptic if you dont like it....but give it some time....think your gonna like it
[09:19] <toxygen> Cybo-Mobile: specific link? i've looked for live cd there and couldn't find it
[09:19] <Cybo-Mobile> toxygen on min
[09:19] <Ares> erUSUL: Thanks =)
[09:19] <juztin> Eazy-, alright...thanks for your help :)
[09:19] <Jowi> Cybo-Mobile: yes, that is normal. ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>won't work.
[09:19] <Eazy-> np :)
[09:19] <Cybo-Mobile> one min-on
[09:19] <MetaMorfoziS> is there way to check a writed dvd is correct?
[09:20] <Jowi> Cybo-Mobile: ooops, sorry. it should work
[09:20] <speedy> hi
[09:20] <Cybo-Mobile> toxygen, iirc NOW ubuntu is both live and install, same cd
[09:20] <speedy> a question
[09:20] <Cybo-Mobile> jowi that is what I though
[09:20] <Jowi> Cybo-Mobile: I forgot I had changed my port
[09:20] <sja> juztin-> easiest way to uninstall is to uninstall kubuntu-desktop ... either via synaptic or "sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop"
[09:20] <dash`> any suggestions on how te fix my lack of commands like apt-get ?
[09:20] <juztin> sja, cool, thanks :)
[09:20] <Cybo-Mobile> but it just hangs (the server I am running ssh from)
[09:20] <speedy> can ai download files wive the live cd and save to a extern hd
[09:20] <Jowi> Cybo-Mobile: try to "ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>-p 22"
[09:21] <Cybo-Mobile> jowi, k
[09:21] <signature16> When I "postfix reload" it says: Permission Denied. How do I fix that?
[09:21] <toxygen> Cybo-Mobile: is it ordinary install cd?
[09:21] <sja> dash-> so a "ls /usr/bin/apt-get" to see if it's really there or not
[09:21] <Cybo-Mobile> Jowi, still just hangs
[09:21] <Fatal`> is the ATI driver install from ATI's website the same thing as fglrx?
[09:22] <toxygen> ok thx
[09:22] <speedy> spricht jemand deutsch
[09:22] <dash`> it is not
[09:22] <Jowi> Cybo-Mobile: and I guess a restart of the server does not help?
[09:22] <Cybo-Mobile> I will try
[09:22] <sja> dash-> then you're up the creek ... looks like you deleted stuff you shouldn't have (sudo can be VERY dangerous)
[09:23] <dash`> can I get it off the CD or something?
[09:23] <Cybo-Mobile> Jowi, what server do you recommend I restart?
[09:23] <Jowi> Cybo-Mobile: you can also try to add (without the quotes) "sshd: ALL" to /etc/hosts.allow
[09:23] <Cybo-Mobile> ping!  I will bet that is the ticket
[09:24] <Jowi> Cybo-Mobile: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh restart
[09:24] <Cybo-Mobile> ssh is NOT in init.d
[09:25] <Jowi> Cybo-Mobile: and you are sure you installed openssh-server ?
[09:25] <sja> dash-> who knows what all you're missing -- I'd reinstall from scratch if it were me
[09:25] <Cybo-Mobile> Jowi, well, I can ssh OUT
[09:25] <Jowi> Cybo-Mobile: when you connects out, you use the client.
[09:25] <Jowi> not the server
[09:25] <Cybo-Mobile> Jowi, so that would be no, I am not sure
[09:25] <ompaul> -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2016 2006-05-18 01:43 /etc/init.d/ssh
[09:25] <Jowi> Cybo-Mobile: sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[09:26] <Cybo-Mobile> jowi, on it
[09:26] <dash`> I figured if I had apt-get at least, I could reinstall what I needed
[09:26] <kristian> Hatred, you here?
[09:26] <derek> Guys,, I just installed Ubuntu and sound isnt working...why? It worked fine on windowz
[09:26] <Cybo-Mobile> dash`, how can you NOT have apt-get
[09:26] <dash`> not quite sure on that
[09:26] <L1> Are video drivers compatable across distributions?  Knoppix works, but Ubuntu Dapper video display is shakley and distorted at resolutions above 1024x768.
[09:27] <Cybo-Mobile> dash`, dpkg -l apt
[09:27] <sja> dash-> try one more time -- "ls /usr/bin/apt-get -al' ... make SURE it's missing
[09:27] <juztin> can someone help me on this? every time i log out of gnome, my screen either goes all black and nothing happens (i can't even switch to another tty), or it goes all white, with a faint box where i can login at (in which case, switch to tty1 makes crazy colored lines go all over my screen)
[09:27] <ompaul> derek, audio is not a great thing - have you no audio "start up drums" as the logon screen appears?
[09:28] <dash`> Cybo-Mobile,: what should that tell me?
[09:28] <ideogram> firefox is slower on Ubuntu than Windows XP.  Why is that?
[09:28] <L1> Problems appears related to Trident Cyberblade video board.  Where to find dirvers?
[09:28] <sphygmos> hey.. can anyone recommend a really good book on project management or leadership in a technology firm?
[09:28] <Cybo-Mobile> dash`, <IP_ADDRESS>ubuntu Advanced front-end for dpkg
[09:28] <sja> ideogram-> turn off ipv6 in firefox and try it again
[09:28] <juztin> L1, check out fasterfox
[09:28] <dash`> k, mine said something similar
[09:29] <Cybo-Mobile> dash`, "sudo apt-get update"
[09:29] <dang`r`us> hi there
[09:29] <kristian> What do I need to watch films at www.metacafe.com ?
[09:29] <ideogram> where is ipv6?
[09:29] <L1> juztin, fasterfox?
[09:29] <Cybo-Mobile> kristian, a web access?
[09:29] <dash`> still not found
[09:29] <marsu_> hello
[09:29] <dang`r`us> what's the reason that linux-image-686 is 2.6.15-23, but there is also a linux-image-2.6.15-25, i.e. a newer one?
[09:29] <juztin> L1, yeah, i just found it yesterday....its firefox, but faster..optimized for linux
[09:29] <Cybo-Mobile> dash`, what do you mean "not found"
[09:29] <Ares> Vi scares me.
[09:29] <kristian> cybo-mobile, :) Yes, and I... im not sure if i have... weelll...
[09:29] <juztin> vi rox
[09:30] <Ares> It may rock, but it still scares me.
[09:30] <Ares> =)
[09:30] <juztin> lol
[09:30] <dash`> Cybo-Mobile :: http://pastebin.arslinux.com/3463
[09:30] <ompaul> sphygmos, that can be approached at many levels, I suggest you remember two things, it is all about people, if they don't like you or it, it won't get done, and second I would search amazon and go by ratings; however that subject is well off topic for here - the ubuntu support channel, you can ask in #ubuntu-offtopic and see if anyone bytes :)
[09:30] <sja> ideogram-> in the address bar of firefox, type "about:config" ... then scroll down to the network section ... find the reference to ipv6, then double click the line to disable it
[09:31] <Cybo-Mobile> dash`, what did you do?
[09:31] <dash`> I have no idea
[09:31] <Cybo-Mobile> dash`, how did this come about?
[09:31] <sja> dash-> if apt-get really isn't there, who knows what else is missing -- reinstall
[09:31] <Kibou> anyone have a theme called clearlooks-graphite?
[09:31] <dash`> k :\
[09:31] <Cybo-Mobile> dash`, you must be running fc5
[09:31] <kristian> What programz do i need to look at films at metacafe?
[09:32] <dash`> its Ubuntu 5.10
[09:32] <L1> juztin, is fasterfox a display driver for a Trident Cyberblade video card?
[09:32] <Cybo-Mobile> dash`, apt is a core part of ALL debian, if it is gone do what the other guys said, re-install
[09:32] <dash`> k
[09:32] <Cybo-Mobile> dash`, you, or someone ripped out the core of your os
[09:32] <juztin> L1, uh, no....its..um....did i say that to the wrong person?  fasterfox is a web browser
[09:32] <dash`> probably me :P
[09:32] <Cybo-Mobile> dash`, do you have any gui at all?
[09:32] <juztin> lol i did...i meant that for ideogram
[09:32] <dash`> yes
[09:32] <juztin> ideogram, check out fasterfox
[09:33] <Patrick_> does anyone know anything about cygwin?
[09:33] <sja> Patrick-> some -- what's your question?
[09:33] <Cybo-Mobile> dash`, you could fix it the hard painfull way, install cd, use dpkg manualy to install one piece at a time
[09:33] <juztin> ack
[09:33] <juztin> and it's not fasterfox
[09:33] <dash`> I dislike hard painful things :P
[09:33] <juztin> its swiftfox, my bad
[09:33] <ideogram> there is no mention of ipv6 on the page
[09:33] <juztin> ideogram, check out swiftfox lol
[09:33] <Cybo-Mobile> dash`, you sound like my wife
[09:33] <dang`r`us> Patrick_, I've been using it ...
[09:33] <Patrick_> sja, apparently the 'make' command is not found, how would I get it on there? there is no sudo apt-get build essential, so its much much harder lol
[09:34] <thoron_> Hi! I just got Ubuntu 6.06 CD by mail. Unfornately it seems that it doesn't work with my ATI Radeon 9250. Screen seems to say black and my monitor power LED blinks as there is something wrong with picture. Is this known problem?
[09:34] <juztin> swiftfox with the fasterfox extension is way faster than regular firefox for ubuntu
[09:34] <juztin> tbh
[09:34] <Cybo-Mobile> thoron_ simple fix, go get a live cd, copy the xorg.conf and install it in ubuntu
[09:34] <sja> ideogram-> yes there is ... the line is "network.dns.disableIPv6"  (I'm assuming your using Firefox 1.5x)
[09:35] <Stardog> anyone here good in wine and wow?
[09:35] <thoron_> I should have tested the beta release.
[09:35] <ShadowLurker> i have a question
[09:36] <xeph> I just got my Ubuntu 6.06 cd in the mail and I can't seem to use it to upgrade from Breezy. Help!?
[09:36] <sja> Patrick-> never tried to use make from cygwin ... just used the pc version of it ...
[09:36] <ShadowLurker> is there any FTP program or something i can run to FTP to my site?
[09:36] <crocd> what kernel is the best to us e for amd64 system. I am running the generic one at the moment?
[09:36] <ideogram> version <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:36] <ShadowLurker> or can somone tell me ho to send something to my Desktop to my Server
[09:36] <twa1296> thoron_: should be fine, i have a R9250 too, do as Cybo says...
[09:36] <sja> Patrick-> out of curiosity, are you trying to compile a linux program on a PC via cygwin?
[09:36] <Ares> What is the kill all command, specifically to kill Firefox?
[09:37] <Ares> I would look, but I can't.
[09:37] <ideogram> oh it was a case sensitive search
[09:37] <Stardog> anyone here good in wine and wow?
[09:37] <juztin> Ares, killall kills all processes with a certain name...like killall firefox will kill all firefoxes
[09:37] <FunnyLookinHat> Ares, killall firefox
[09:37] <ideogram> so what was it doing, trying to use ipv6 first?
[09:37] <Ares> God dammit.
[09:37] <Skymaker> arrr
[09:37] <Ares> Firefox still won't start.
[09:37] <ompaul> Stardog, please wait 15 minutes beteen asking
[09:38] <Patrick_> sja, apparently the 'make' command is not found, how would I get it on there? there is no sudo apt-get build essential, so its much much harder lol
[09:38] <thoron_> twa1296, is there fixed CD available?
[09:38] <ShadowLurker> Guys, I need to upload a folder with FTP.  Can someone tell me how to send something through FTP?
[09:38] <ShadowLurker> it is on my desktop
[09:38] <aztracker1> have another question.. re: dialup under ubuntu.. is anyone familiar with the error "LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests"
[09:38] <ideogram> did you read man ftp?
[09:38] <ubuntu_> org
[09:38] <jon_> anyone know where i can find "grub.conf" on my system, search turned up nothing
[09:38] <ShadowLurker> i can figure out where the local folder is
[09:38] <juztin> wtf is dialup?
[09:38] <juztin> :P
[09:38] <sja> ideogram-> many home type modems/routers don't support ipv6 ... so, if enabled, it tries, and tries, and tries and finally defaults to ipv4
[09:38] <Cybo-Mobile> juztin that is how you get chinese food
[09:38] <ShadowLurker> !ftp
  FTP clients: gftp, konqueror, kbear, nautilus. FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd
[09:38] <Ares> jon: I think Ubuntu uses menu.lst
[09:39] <juztin> lol Cybo-Mobile
[09:39] <rpedro> Stardog: try /j #winehq
[09:39] <aztracker1> juztin, it's for a client.. hell I'm getting him off of windows.. he only uses email and browsing..
[09:39] <jon_> thanks Ares
[09:39] <ideogram> yeah I knew I didn't have ipv6, just didn't realize firefox would keep trying it by default
[09:39] <sja> ideogram-> if that works for you and you use Thunderbird, turn off ipv6 in Thunderbird
[09:39] <ShadowLurker> ideogram, what?
[09:39] <ideogram> I don't use thunderbird
[09:39] <ideogram> shadowlurker do you know how to get a terminal window?
[09:39] <ideogram> I use gmail
[09:39] <ShadowLurker> ideogram, i cant find where the file is on the local server
[09:40] <twa1296> thoron_: your monitor led blinks and the screen doesn't go on? why do you think that this is a radeon issue?
[09:40] <ShadowLurker> ideogram, yes, and i can connect to my server
[09:40] <ideogram> you can't find the file?
[09:40] <rpedro> !appdb > Stardog
[09:40] <sja> ideogram-> I use gmail too -- as a pop server -- and use Thunderbird as my client
[09:40] <ShadowLurker> ideogram, it says local-file: and i dont know where it is
[09:40] <ideogram> is there a search function on ubuntu?
[09:40] <ShadowLurker> it is on my desktop
[09:40] <Stardog> rpedro: k thx
[09:40] <ShadowLurker> ideogram, but i dont know what to put there
[09:40] <ideogram> can't you browse for it?
[09:40] <j1p> has anyone in here built songbird for ubuntu successfully?
[09:40] <sja> ideogram-> search for text in files or for files?
[09:40] <ShadowLurker> ideogram, no, that is with a program
[09:40] <ShadowLurker> ideogram, i couldnt find any linux ftp programs
[09:41] <ideogram> I had problems with Thunderbird the last time I used it
[09:41] <thoron_> twa1296, I googled around little bit and debian unstable X is also broken. OpenGL modules jams the system exactly same way.
[09:41] <ShadowLurker> ideogram, i am using command line on linux
[09:41] <ideogram> yeah, ftp on the command line should work for you
[09:41] <ideogram> how do you normally get to the file
[09:41] <hou5ton> Can someone help me with making sound work on xfce ... it works on Gnome. ??
[09:41] <ShadowLurker> ideogram, it is on my desktop
[09:41] <ideogram> I have no problems with Gmail's user interface
[09:41] <Jowi> ShadowLurker: if it is on your desktop it is in /home/username/Desktop
[09:41] <ompaul> ShadowLurker, tar cvf word.tar /path/to/directory << then >> ftp wherever.whatever ; username; password; cd /path/to/put/file ; lcd /path/to/tar; put file.tar ; then ssh into the box and cd to location and do this: tar xvf file.tar and the directory will unfold before your very eyes - print that and do it
[09:41] <sja> ShadowLurker -> open a terminal and type "ftp"
[09:41] <ShadowLurker> jowi: thanks
[09:41] <twa1296> thoron_: did you manage to install? when does the screen go blank?
[09:41] <ShadowLurker> sja: i know
[09:41] <ShadowLurker> jowi: that was my problem
[09:41] <auge02> also can used mc
[09:41] <ShadowLurker> jowi: thank you so much
[09:41] <ideogram> I like being able to access my email from any host and any OS
[09:42] <ideogram> I have several computers and dual boot WinXP and Ubuntu
[09:42] <james__> would anyone in here be up to walking me through setting up a dell truemobile 1470 wireless card (broadcom chipset) to work, with or without ndiswrapper?
[09:42] <Juju> Does anyone know if this is a valid permission?    ?-w-rwSrwT
[09:43] <Stardog> after installing wine, copying all files (overwriting when prompted), and trying to run the installer.exe file, i get the errormsg, not enough space on my hardrive.....
[09:43] <Juju> I installed Xubuntu yesterday on a friend's PC, and it was working, but now it gets permioosion denied on practially everything
[09:43] <james__> i has the driver installed in ndiswrapper, and it recognizes the card, but i am stuck
[09:43] <james__> it*
[09:43] <thoron_> twa1296, there is this ubuntu logo on screen and below that rolls those messages on loading modules. It goes dark after loading something like LVM or Enterprise Volume Management anyway stuff that obvious comes last and then I guess Ubuntu 6.06 install tries to start X?
[09:43] <Stardog> sry wrong room
[09:44] <ShadowLurker> jowi: where was it?
[09:44] <twa1296> thoron_: and do you get a command line after that?
[09:44] <ShadowLurker> jowi: i forgot
[09:44] <ShadowLurker> jowi, what is the directory it should be in again?
[09:44] <MetaMorfoziS> is there way to check a writed dvd is correct?
[09:45] <thoron_> twa1296, no, debian unstable jamms exactly same way, system is totally unresponsive, no way to get console even with ctrl-alt-f1
[09:45] <Patrick_> on cygwin, apparently the 'make' command is not found, how would I get it on there? there is no sudo apt-get build essential, so its much much harder lol
[09:45] <twa1296> thoron_: ah i see, sorry was trying to understand your problem
[09:45] <ShadowLurker> jowi!!!
[09:45] <ideogram> cygwin has an installer gui that should list make among programmer tools
[09:45] <ShadowLurker> jowi...where are you?
[09:45] <twa1296> thoron_: boot in recovery mode into a command line, change your xorg.conf from there
[09:45] <ShadowLurker> come out, come out, wherever you are
[09:45] <Jowi> ShadowLurker: /home/username/Desktop
[09:46] <ShadowLurker> thanks
[09:47] <aaron_> Hey guys, my java isn't @ /usr/bin/java or w/e how can I find where I have it installed?
[09:47] <sja> Patrick-> check www.cygwin.com -- many packages aren't installed by default
[09:47] <wesleywillians> hi folks
[09:47] <wesleywillians> i have a problem here
[09:47] <Ares> Ok ok, last question, how do I give everything in a specific folder and sub-folders read/write access?
[09:47] <ShadowLurker> Jowi: please go to #UbuntuPalace
[09:47] <sja> aaron-> Sun's java?
[09:47] <aaron_> yes sja
[09:48] <wesleywillians> i have a notebook HP livestrong (l2005). i am trying to use the projector to show a presentation, but the ubuntu does not reconeize my video boad on projector.
[09:48] <wesleywillians> can u help me?
[09:48] <Cybo-Mobile> I am still unable to conect to this box via ssh from other boxes, but vis-versa is good
[09:49] <sja> aaron-> if you installed it for Dapper via the repository, it's likely in /usr/lib/j2sdk1.5-sun
[09:49] <ShadowLurker> Jowi, I sent you an IM here, please look at it
[09:49] <epod> Hi, I'm having a weird apache issue.  If I go to www.blah.ca, www.fooblah.ca or www.blahfoo.ca, the correct page loads, but if I go to just blahfoo.ca, or fooblah.ca, I get blah.ca's page.  Can anyone tell me what I have wrong in my vhost setup perhaps?
[09:50] <aaron_> sja, no file or dir there. Isn't there a command you can use that will show the ver, location and everyhting
[09:50] <Cybo-Mobile> is there a way I can drop all firewall via the cli?
[09:50] <ShadowLurker> can someone help me?
[09:50] <ShadowLurker> i can put regular files onto my server via ftp
[09:50] <ShadowLurker> but not folders
[09:50] <_absolution_> I'm currently downloading an iso image of another distro.....where will that file be stored??
[09:50] <ShadowLurker> how can i upload folders?
[09:50] <_absolution_> in the archive manager?
[09:51] <wdh> _absolution_, whereever you are downloading it to..
[09:51] <sja> aaron-> in a terminal, type "java -version" and see what it says
[09:51] <Cybo-Mobile> _absolution_, where did you tell it to, are you running windows?
[09:51] <_absolution_> no
[09:51] <aaron_> java command not found
[09:51] <sja> aaron -> then you can look in /etc/alternatives and see where java is linked to
[09:51] <_absolution_> "save to disk"
[09:51] <ideogram> shadowlurker you need to use tar
[09:51] <wdh> _absolution_, take a look on your desktop then :)
[09:52] <ideogram> type man tar
[09:52] <blocky> can someone tell me how to search in vi
[09:52] <Cybo-Mobile> _absolution_, it is saved where ever your defualt location is, what app, check it out.
[09:52] <sja> aaron-> you should also be able to type "which java" and have it return you its location
[09:52] <linux_user400354> is there a ubuntu wiki guide for gmailfs? i searched for one and did not find it.
[09:52] <Cybo-Mobile> _absolution_, sounds like a windows help desk question, are you sure you are not running windows?
[09:52] <ShadowLurker> ideogram: what do u mean tar?
[09:52] <aaron_> sja, it returned nothing
[09:52] <_absolution_> no I'm running ubuntu
[09:52] <sja> blocky-> hit esc, then type /<what you are searching for>
[09:52] <aaron_> maybe I messed up on the install
[09:53] <ideogram> tar is the command that packages up a directory tree as a file so you can ftp it
[09:53] <sja> aaron-> then you don't have java installed
[09:53] <Jowi> ShadowLurker: easiest way is to use gftp. a graphical interface for ftp similar to wsftp on windows. you can't go wrong there. you will see exactly where the files go and it is just as easy to download folders.
[09:53] <aaron_> ok sja, thanks
[09:53] <Cybo-Mobile> _absolution_, ok I will bite, "How" are you donwloading this iso
[09:53] <ideogram> or you could use the gui
[09:53] <blocky> sja, thanks - is that case sensitive?
[09:53] <ideogram> that's probably your best bet
[09:53] <ShadowLurker> lol, help
[09:53] <_absolution_> what do you mean?
[09:53] <ShadowLurker> which one?
[09:53] <_absolution_> http?
[09:53] <ShadowLurker> and where can i get it?
[09:53] <Cybo-Mobile> _absolution_, what app?
[09:53] <ideogram> jowi mentioned gftp
[09:53] <wdh> _absolution_, with firefox probably?
[09:53] <Jowi> ShadowLurker: sudo apt-get install gftp
[09:53] <stelki> _absolution_: what program are you using to download?
[09:53] <ideogram> I haven't used it myself, but you could give it a try
[09:53] <_absolution_> yeah
[09:53] <_absolution_> firefox
[09:53] <ShadowLurker> thanks
[09:53] <sja> blocky -> yes .... also that will only find the first occurence ... to find others, hit n
[09:54] <stelki> _absolution_: the default place to download files is the desktop of yours
[09:54] <_absolution_> so it won't automatically install?
[09:54] <stelki> No, how did you get ubuntu installed? :)
[09:54] <Al2O3> well, sadly I'm installing Windows 2000 instead of ubuntu or mandriva :(  Its just Bill Gates up my butt again.
[09:54] <_absolution_> lol....I never downloaded an iso file before
[09:54] <Al2O3> thanks for your help guys, linux just isn't up to the task of out-of-box end user experience yet, almost, but not quite.
[09:55] <stelki> FIlthy lies
[09:55] <_absolution_> on a cdrom
[09:55] <ShadowLurker> how do i run gftp
[09:55] <sja> Al204-> maybe not for you, but for me it is ... dumped Win a couple of years ago
[09:55] <ShadowLurker> g2g so quick
[09:55] <ShadowLurker> plz
[09:55] <aaron_> sja, one last q. What is the best way to install jre 1.5?
[09:55] <Subhuman_> is there much difference between a debian server install and a ubuntu one?
[09:55] <bvali> Alt+F2
[09:55] <bvali> write gftp
[09:55] <bvali> ShadowLurker
[09:56] <ShadowLurker> thanks
[09:56] <ShadowLurker> bye
[09:56] <Cybo-Mobile> _absolution_, I deal with system admin who don't know how to burn ISO
[09:57] <Ropechoborra> I mounted an ntfs partition on /mnt, wich is the command to change its privileges so i can read, execute and write it ??
[09:57] <Cybo-Mobile> _absolution_, look under preferences for firefox, download that will tell you the dir your ISO is downloaded to
[09:57] <sja> aaron-> from synaptic, get sun-j2re1.5
[09:59] <_absolution_> oh ok...thanks
[09:59] <softwork> ola mundo!
[09:59] <bvali> Ropechoborra: you need to mount the partition in rw mode. Usually it's mounted in ro, and NTFS in linux is rather unstable in write mode.
[09:59] <bvali> but generally you must specify the umask when mounting
[09:59] <Jack_Sparrow> Ropechoborra:  Nooooooooo
[10:00] <Fitzsimmons> is there a known problem booting ubuntu server with / on raid?
[10:00] <Ropechoborra> Jack_Sparrow:  SIIIIIIIIIIIIII
[10:00] <bvali> :)
[10:00] <Ropechoborra> xD
[10:00] <Ropechoborra> Jack_Sparrow:  ke hace aka mano?? =P
[10:00] <Fitzsimmons> software raid that is
[10:00] <Cybo-Mobile> I sill need help ssh into ubuntu, debian and rhel both work in and out, but ubuntu only works out
[10:00] <Jack_Sparrow> Ropechoborra:  If you need it is much better to set up a fat32 to share between or set ntfs as read only
[10:01] <bvali> I agree with Jack_Sparrow
[10:01] <Jack_Sparrow> Ropechoborra: No bueno por nada...
[10:01] <Ropechoborra> jajaja
[10:01] <Ropechoborra> veni al pv
[10:01] <fowlduck>  /join #ubuntu-es
[10:02] <aaron_> aja, done, but I still get nothing from java --version or which java
[10:02] <aaron_> I did  sudo apt-get install sun-j2re1.5
[10:02] <xeph> Help! I just got my Ubuntu 6.06 from ShipIt today and I can't upgrade from Breezy. How do I go about doing so?
[10:03] <Ropechoborra> Jack_Sparrow:  wich would be the comand so i can have access to the drive ?
[10:03] <HowardTheDuck> Is it possible to rdp into ubuntu from windows?
[10:03] <sja> aaron-> that's the JRE (run time java) so I don't think "java -version" will work  ....
[10:03] <Jack_Sparrow> http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter
[10:03] <Patrick_> sja, apparently the 'make' command is not found, how would I get it on there? there is no sudo apt-get build essential, so its much much harder lol
[10:03] <Ropechoborra> Thankx
[10:04] <Patrick_> sja, this is on cygwin
[10:04] <sja> aaron-> not positive, tho, I'm never just installed the JRE, just the JDK/SDK
[10:04] <Patrick_> sja, I asked it about, 10 mins ago or so.
[10:04] <sja> Patrick-> check www.cygwin.com -- many packages aren't installed by default
[10:04] <Jack_Sparrow> Run that script.. It will enable NTFS writes if you insist.. Still Not recomended by my.. Use at your own riskk.
[10:04] <nsahoo> hi
[10:04] <Chetic> How do I set one folder, with all the files and subdirectories in it, to let regular users write to it?
[10:04] <aaron_> ok thanks
[10:04] <Patrick_> sja, I have no clue wtf to do lol.
[10:04] <sja> aaron-> try something that uses the JRE, like ... I dunno ... Azureus?
[10:05] <sja> Patick-> the likely answer is to reinstall cygwin and select make as one of the packages ..
[10:05] <nsahoo> i am trying to make a nfs mount happen everytime i boot the comp .. i added the line "nachi:/home/nsahoo /home/nachi  nfs     rw,hard,intr    0 0" to the /etc/fstab .. but, it's not automounting
[10:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Chetic: a folder that you creat ... you can right click and set permissions there
[10:05] <bvali> Chetic: chmod -R 777 directory
[10:05] <Jack_Sparrow> creat
[10:05] <sja> Patrick-> or you could ask in a Windows channel?
[10:05] <bvali> R is recursive
[10:06] <sja> nsahoo -> good help on ubuntu wiki ... you might check that out
[10:06] <dylan_> Why is Ubuntu a non-free distribution by default?
[10:06] <lophyte> it is?
[10:06] <eimajenthat> hi, I seem to remember hearing about a tool like deborphan but better, anyone heard of such a thing?
[10:07] <skybox> hi! If I use clonecd in linux/vmware will it operate just like it does in windows?
[10:07] <lophyte> dylan_: Ubuntu is as free as any other Linux distro
[10:07] <dylan_> lophyte, it has non-free drivers, i hear from RMS
[10:07] <BHSPitLappy> dylan_, why is the sky purple?
[10:07] <dylan_> BHSPitLappy, it is not
[10:07] <lophyte> that's the point :P
[10:07] <BHSPitLappy> there's your answer.
[10:07] <linux_user400354> has anyone got gmailfs to work?
[10:07] <dylan_> BHSPitLappy, oh yeah?  do this:  install "vrms" and run it
[10:08] <Ropechoborra> Jack_Sparrow: thanks!! it really helps me :)
[10:08] <lophyte> dylan_: there's a difference between a specific software package, and Ubuntu as a distribution
[10:08] <BHSPitLappy> why should I have to install anything, dylan_ ?
[10:08] <Jack_Sparrow> Not a problem
[10:08] <BHSPitLappy> I thought you were talking about "default"
[10:08] <skybox> clonecd in vmware/wine, same support as in windows?
[10:08] <lucasvo_> anybody have problems with totem? I have this X BadAllog errors
[10:08] <lucasvo_> it's really annoying
[10:08] <dylan_> BHSPitLappy, exactly.  ubuntu is non-free by default.
[10:08] <lophyte> for example, VMware Workstation for Linux is non-free... but that doesn't make Ubuntu non-free.
[10:08] <Jowi> dylan_: ubuntu-offtopic please. this is a support channel
[10:08] <Jowi> # even
[10:09] <nsahoo> sja: i checked that .. it doesn't look like i need anything other than just adding a line to /etc/fstab for static mount
[10:09] <Ropechoborra> f*ck =S still says permission dennied ! =(
[10:09] <Jack_Sparrow> rope.. when you try to write to it?
[10:09] <skybox> is there a way to burn dual layers dvd+r in linux?
[10:09] <Fitzsimmons> how do you install ubuntu onto a / within software raid1?
[10:09] <Ropechoborra> Nop... access
[10:10] <sja> nsahoo-> my nfs mount like in /etc/fstab looks like .... <IP_ADDRESS>:/pub /reardon     nfs     rw,hard,intr    0       0
[10:10] <lophyte> skybox: it should be the same as burning any other dvd/d
[10:10] <lophyte> dvd/cd*
[10:10] <sja> nsahoo-> just make sure the mount point really exists on your machine (in my case, /reardon)
[10:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Rope.. it has worked for dozens of people.. works on my sata
[10:10] <Jack_Sparrow> Ropechoborra:  what is in your fstab
[10:11] <skybox> lophyte, i'm afraid not, I need to have the burner app/frontend to put my burner into bitsetting - dvdrom mode and dual layer modes
[10:11] <Ropechoborra> bash: cd: /media/hda5: Permiso denegado
[10:11] <nsahoo> sja: does it have to be ip address at the start .. not the hostname .. i have the hostname in the /etc/hosts file
[10:11] <skybox> clonecd does this on auto, but i'm wondering if I run clonecd with wine/vmware, will it be the same thing?
[10:11] <lophyte> skybox: ah.. I've never done dual layer burning myself, so I'm not entirely sure.. I just assumed it was the same.
[10:11] <lophyte> !duallayer
[10:11] <ubotu> I know nothing about duallayer
[10:11] <lophyte> aww.
[10:11] <lophyte> !dvd
[10:11] <Jack_Sparrow> Rope, do you see disk icons on your desktop
[10:11] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html. Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[10:11] <linux_user400354> skybox, cdrecord
[10:11] <sja> nsahoo-> if you have the host name in the hosts file, that sould be fine
[10:11] <lophyte> !dvdburning
[10:11] <ubotu> I know nothing about dvdburning
[10:11] <lophyte> meh.
[10:11] <skybox> heh, thanks anyways lophyte
[10:11] <skybox> cdrecord hmm
[10:11] <skybox> checking
[10:12] <Ropechoborra> Jack_Sparrow: nop, arent there
[10:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Ropechoborra: after a restart you should see all the partions mounted on your desktop.  Did the script ask any questions?
[10:12] <sja> nsahoo-> I took another look at your fstab line --- get rid of the / before home
[10:12] <skybox> O
[10:12] <Ropechoborra> Yes.. about writing
[10:12] <Jack_Sparrow> Ropechoborra:  how did you run that script
[10:13] <Ropechoborra> Like the help file says
[10:13] <skybox> I'll check it out, just a quickie, If I run clonecd in wine/wmare will it be the same thing?
[10:13] <Consty> does anyone run xmame in dapper?
[10:13] <Ropechoborra> sudo bash diskmounter
[10:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Ropechoborra:  did you restart after running the script... I know it says not to, I am getting that changed
[10:13] <sja> nsahoo-> also, not sure if you can point it multilevel -- never tried
[10:13] <lophyte> skybox: I don't think VMware supports cd/dvd burning
[10:13] <Ropechoborra> Jack_Sparrow: no, i didnt...
[10:13] <Jack_Sparrow> Start there
[10:13] <Ropechoborra> NTFS drives will be mounted read-only! <--- that means i should restart?
[10:13] <Ropechoborra> :P
[10:14] <Ropechoborra> Ok brb
[10:14] <Jack_Sparrow> YEs
[10:14] <Consty> Jack_Sparrow: Remember that problem that I had the other day with totem not playing dvds even though libdvdcss2 was installed?
[10:14] <Jack_Sparrow> YEa
[10:14] <sja> lophyte ... yes, you can burn cd/dvds via VMWare
[10:14] <skybox> ah lophyte, that's a shame :(
[10:14] <lophyte> what, since when
[10:14] <Petecakes> When trying to boot with the live CD, the boot process says that it cannot read from the CD. I have tried this with several CDs (they're all immaculate) and it always happens at the same point. I'm assuming it's a problem with my drive? How do I fix it?
[10:15] <Consty> Jack_Sparrow: figured out what it was.. did a install of dapper to replace breezy but we kept the home partition intact on that install.  It had settings for the prior breezy install ~/.libdvdcss and such.. after cleaning out all that it worked like a charm.
[10:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Petecakes:  did you have the cd do a self test, did you manually check the MD5 checksum?
[10:15] <Consty> Jack_Sparrow: just thought it'd be a nice fyi incase someone else encounters it.
[10:15] <sja> lophyte -> I've always been able to do it ... but can't tell you what version of VMWare as I dumped it a few months ago for CrossOver Office ...
[10:15] <nsahoo> sja: does it take a while to automount? i mean .. after the system is up and you could log in .. it seems like it's still trying in the background and finishes mounting after a couple of minutes
[10:15] <Jack_Sparrow> Consty:  thanks
[10:15] <eimajenthat> getting some weird errors when I apt-get: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17190
[10:15] <sja> only need to run 1 Windows program so VMWare was too heavy a hit on my machine
[10:15] <Consty> Jack_Sparrow: anyone upgrading from breezy to dapper would have the same problem as well. :P
[10:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Good to know..
[10:16] <sja> nsahoo, you may have to install autofs, not sure, BUT ...
[10:16] <Petecakes> Jack_Sparrow: They're all ShipIt CDs..
[10:16] <lophyte> sja: I remember reading it wasn't supported.. huh, I'll have to look into that.
[10:16] <Consty> Jack_Sparrow: have you messed with xmame at all ?
[10:16] <sja> nsahoo, you should be able to type "sudo mount -a" in a terminal and get an immediate response
[10:16] <Jack_Sparrow> Consty:  No sorry
[10:16] <nsahoo> sja: I installed autofs .. but, i am not using it ..
[10:16] <ardchoille> Petecakes: I have heard that someone ordered 25 CD's from ShipTi and they were all bad
[10:16] <CrashProne> So.. how can I make Wine not screw up? ;D  (try'n to install Kingmaker NWN expansion, Wine screws up, debugs and shuts off the exe)
[10:16] <nsahoo> sja: thats right .. but, i just wanted it to mount automatically
[10:17] <Jack_Sparrow> Petecakes:  Do a self test. Manually check the MD5 checksum?
[10:17] <nsahoo> sja: it seems fine now .. just that it takes a couple of minutes after the reboot to complete automounting it
