I'm trying to install linux on a sony notebook, vgn S5HP, but I get an error message: ata1 : BUG: timeout without command.
[12:02] <bimberi> Malachi: under "Themed Greeter"
[12:02] <dfgas_> redguy: i don't have any info for eth0 set, just did a auto eth0
[12:03] <Malachi> bimberi: Oh....nothing for other types of themes?
[12:03] <slashx1896> how do i backup the whole dvd using dvdbackup?
[12:03] <odat> nalioth, still here?
[12:03] <Malachi> bimberi: Like windows themes and icon themes.
[12:03] <redguy> dfgas_: good to hear
[12:03] <dfgas_> :D
[12:03] <willem> matitaccia:  when did you get that error message exactly?
[12:03] <bimberi> Malachi: System -> Preferences -> Theme
[12:03] <Malachi> bimberi: I've done that, but it doesn't install the themes all the way....
[12:04] <matitaccia> willem, hello.
[12:04] <bimberi> Malachi: "all the way"?
[12:04] <Malachi> From gnome-look.org...
[12:04] <existance> what video players can play .avi?
[12:04] <Malachi> bimberi: Or do I have to install separate things....
[12:04] <d-rock> existance: mplayer, totem-xine, vlc
[12:04] <pinucset> one think, it seems i cant resize a windows ntfs partition from qtparted, why not? :S
[12:05] <matitaccia> During the creation of partition. I was using other distros, not ubuntu. I'm downloading it right now, but I have seen on google that someone has already had this problem with ubuntu.
[12:05] <slashx1896> anyone? i dont know how to use dvdbackup.. it says -m back up a whole dvd, so what do i do? i ahve the dvd in my dvd drive
[12:05] <matitaccia> willem, and with a sony notebook.
[12:05] <d-rock> existance: avi is just a container format, you're probably running into codec issues if you can't play something
[12:05] <existance> d-rock, i have vlc, but when i try to open it, it doesn't play video, no error though
[12:05] <hyperactivecrond> slashx1896: man dvdbackup
[12:05] <Argoth> matitaccia: was that comment to me
[12:06] <Argoth> about the partition problems
[12:06] <matitaccia> Argoth, nope... unless you can help me out... eheh...
[12:06] <bimberi> Malachi: i'm not sure ... there is the "gnome-art" package which enables install from art.gnome.org
[12:07] <Malachi> bimberi:Humm....
[12:07] <Malachi> bimberi: Thanks, I'll try that.
[12:07] <Malachi> And thank you too, wme.
[12:07] <bimberi> Malachi: i've only ever installed an icon theme (gartoon) myself
[12:07] <bimberi> Malachi: k, np :)
[12:07] <willem> matitaccia:  sorry cant seem to talk private, i dont have a clue on how to solve your problem
[12:08] <matitaccia> willem, it's okay, thanks!

[12:08] <Eugman> robot geek: "Could not save the file "/etc/apache2/apache2.conf"
[12:08] <bimberi> willem: you need to be (registered and) identified to /msg on freenode (an anti-spambot measure)
[12:10] <vk> willem, tnx

[12:23] <pazu> i want to go away from Windows-like super multimedia-shopping-buttons-and shit to more slimed OS, is ubuntu ok or is it full of shit to make it "stupid-user-friendly"?
[12:23] <slashx1896> kindred, those errors...
[12:23] <mwe> xiaogil: it's a kernel module?
[12:24] <Seveas> pazu, Ubuntu is ok
[12:24] <Kindred> slashx1896, don't worry about tht GPG error
[12:24] <Seveas> there's no shit in Ubuntu
[12:24] <slashx1896> oh
[12:24] <slashx1896> ok
[12:24] <xiaogil> mwe: yes, it looks to be
[12:24] <King> Hello group, this is test, pls ignore
[12:24] <Seveas> !test
[12:24] <ubotu> Passed.
[12:24] <King> Tnx
[12:24] <oooh_walt> hey seveas when i d/l iso does the other  files like txt come with it? also after i d/l iso what next burn all files to cd then what?
[12:24] <mwe> xiaogil: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) then if it still complains sudo apt-get install linux-source-2.6.12
[12:25] <xiaogil> mwe: I'm trying to follow the instructions there : http://www.isely.net/pvrusb2.html
[12:25] <bimberi> not much slime in ubuntu either :P
[12:25] <Seveas> oooh_walt, you download iso and you burn the iso *as image* on cd, do net extract it or burn it as a file
[12:25] <mwe> xiaogil: looks like you need the kernel source
[12:25] <xiaogil> mwe: both are already installed
[12:26] <oooh_walt> i used roxio but maybe done wrong , how do i burn as "image"
[12:26] <slashx1896> kindred, im still not finding libdvdcss
[12:26] <xiaogil> mwe: what is the location of my kernel source tree ?
[12:26] <vk> is there any way to use a webcam with msn in ubuntu?
[12:26] <mwe> xiaogil: check that the link /lib/modules-$(uname -r)/source is valid and point to the kernel source
[12:27] <Kindred> slashx1896, did you sudo apt-get update
[12:27] <mwe> xiaogil: should be /usr/src/linux-$(uname -r) IIRC
[12:27] <slashx1896> oh, no hold on
[12:27] <mwe> xiaogil: and /usr/src/linux should be a symlink pointing to it
[12:27] <pazu> i got a free partition on about 7 GB, is it good enough for trying ubuntu
[12:28] <Kindred> pazu, yeah 7gb is fine
[12:28] <mwe> pazu: sure
[12:28] <slashx1896> still nothing
[12:28] <pazu> will i have access to all other drives after installing ubuntu ( Ill go dualboot with windows xp on C:)
[12:29] <slashx1896> i got some different errors and failed things when i did apt-get update
[12:29] <oooh_walt> hey anyone when i go download iso do i download just iso or iso and txt files? also how do i burn image?
[12:29] <mwe> pazu: yeah but you can't write to ntfs safly
[12:29] <Kindred> pazu, you wont be able to write to ntfs
[12:29] <mwe> pazu: only read
[12:29] <oooh_walt> how do i burn image?
[12:29] <bimberi> oooh_walt: just the iso and consult your roxio manual / online-help
[12:30] <mwe> oooh_walt: from linux on the command line or what?
[12:30] <pazu> ok, no writing to ntfs, is ubuntu FAT32 or what?
[12:30] <lightbright> oooh_walt: why would you want to?
[12:30] <bimberi> pazu: ext3
[12:30] <bimberi> (by default)
[12:30] <pazu> y is it that one cant play around with NTFS-partitions using ubuntu
[12:30] <mwe> pazu: no linux system uses fat32
[12:30] <pazu> oki
[12:30] <yggdrasil> dam 20 minutes
[12:30] <yggdrasil> hah
[12:30] <mwe> pazu: it doesn't have permissions
[12:31] <mwe> pazu: I use reiserfs, but ext3 is the default
[12:31] <slashx1896> brb all
[12:31] <pazu> omg, so there are other formats then ntfs and fat32 (fat16)
[12:31] <dmk> pazu: there is only limited write support for ntfs in the kernel, therefore most people only read from ntfs
[12:31] <existance> how do i run totem-xine after I install it?
[12:31] <mwe> pazu: like hundreds yes
[12:31] <dmk> existance: run totem
[12:31] <pazu> i feel that i will regret ever trying linux
[12:32] <existance> dmk, i see..
[12:32] <pazu> i have no real reason yet win xp work great... but i want to support open-source
[12:32] <oooh_walt> i downloaded iso and burned it with roxio "xp" but computer won't boot. i changed bios to boot from cd. is image ok. do i need the txt files also?
[12:32] <mwe> pazu: then remove it and go back to windows
[12:32] <pazu> i like the idea of open source...
[12:32] <Kindred> oooh_walt, you just need the iso but you do need to burn it correctly
[12:32] <vk> pazu, linux isnt that easy to learn if you want to
[12:32] <vk> but it takes time
[12:32] <mwe> pazu: yeah
[12:32] <pazu> i even sold my PSP to buy an GP2X
[12:33] <existance> how do i download a .avi codec for vlc?
[12:33] <mwe> pazu: it's pretty easy to install. and basic usage is not hard either. it will create a dual boot for you
[12:33] <pazu> i wish there where windows-compatible open source operating system
[12:33] <mwe> pazu: no
[12:34] <mwe> pazu: most people still keep windows around for their games
[12:34] <robertj> ok, I definately need to buy a new computer this week
[12:34] <joey222> i need some network setings help
[12:34] <robertj> my wife has officially moved off her computer and onto mine in the female equivalent of taking a dump on your keyboard
[12:34] <joey222> anyone wanna give me a hand
[12:34] <robertj> my laptop now has a large glittery ... thing...covering it
[12:34] <Kindred> sounds.. nice
[12:35] <pazu> if one keeps windows for games, what the biggest reason for not just going win windows xp for everything else, is it so bad to run firefox from windows?
[12:35] <yggdrasil> nailioth
[12:35] <yggdrasil> nailioth  are you still around ?
[12:35] <john__> this is the second time my mouse has completely frozen when closing a program, has linux crashed? do I need to power off and on or is there a get out of jail free card?

[12:37] <dmk> pazu: http://www.vmware.com/vmtn/vm/browserapp.html
[12:37] <mwe> Eugman: what's that, you can't make php work or what?

[12:41] <mwe> john__: check the log files
[12:41] <bimberi> existance: unrar-free or unrar-nonfree
[12:41] <LemLapUbuntu> i'd always run memtest after putting ram in
[12:41] <trappist> existance: I recommend unrar-nonfree if you want to work with files made in the last few years
[12:41] <john__> mwe, where r they?
[12:41] <mwe> john__: /var/log
[12:41] <john__> mwe, will they tell me if it was ram?
[12:42] <Pygi> freaky: ping ping ping
[12:42] <LemLapUbuntu> can anyone help me with this problem?
[12:42] <mwe> john__: maybe they indicate something, but they don't say "your machine crashed due to bad ram"
[12:42] <existance> trappist, nonfree isnt in synaptic :/
[12:43] <trappist> !tell existance about repos
[12:43] <Pygi> LemLapUbuntu: what seems to be ur problem?

[12:44] <Pygi> Lem: well, probably media is not OK: scratched or something, or low disc space
[12:44] <yggdrasil> i did mine off the cd
[12:44] <mwe> LemLapUbuntu: bad cd maybe?
[12:44] <yggdrasil> and it gave me that
[12:44] <Pygi> pazu: yes, but dapper is even faster :D
[12:44] <LemLapUbuntu> not off a cd. direct off the net
[12:44] <mwe> pazu: 25 seconds or so for me
[12:44] <LemLapUbuntu> could it be the archive?
[12:44] <Pygi> LemLapUbuntu: bad connection or hard drive?
[12:45] <LemLapUbuntu> after the error message it drops to a login prompt
[12:45] <mwe> pazu: maybe less
[12:45] <LemLapUbuntu> i don't think eeither of them pygi
[12:45] <cvt|gnuyear> i get awful sounds when playing only wav files. i have vlc, xine, mplayer and others; what could be the problem?

[12:45] <LemLapUbuntu> nfi what dapper is
[12:46] <LemLapUbuntu> am doing a normal breezy badger install off au.archive.ubuntu.com
[12:46] <Pygi> ubotu tell  LemLapUbuntu about dapper
[12:46] <mwe> yggdrasil: isn't that because the windows server don't allow it?
[12:46] <Pygi> LemLap: try just archive.ubuntu.com
[12:46] <bimberi> LemLapUbuntu: see if you can log in and complete the install with "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop"
[12:46] <LemLapUbuntu> ok will do
[12:46] <mwe> yggdrasil: and what's the url to your paste?
[12:46] <CodenameKT> !dapper
[12:46] <ubotu> The 6.04 version of Ubuntu will be called the "Dapper Drake" release. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperDrake
[12:46] <LemLapUbuntu> anyone know hwo to restart the package setup with out going all the way thru the whole setup
[12:47] <pazu> came to think of it, how is ATIlinux support?
[12:47] <LemLapUbuntu> atm it boots to a login prompt
[12:47] <LemLapUbuntu> pazu shit
[12:47] <Pygi> !Ati
[12:47] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, ati is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10
[12:47] <bimberi> LemLapUbuntu: see my post :)
[12:47] <mwe> pazu: it works
[12:47] <Pygi> ati works good
[12:47] <Pygi> I have ati card :)
[12:47] <LemLapUbuntu> ok will try that
[12:47] <Pygi> but nvidia works better :P
[12:47] <Kindred> ati are trying a bit harder
[12:47] <XiP> Hello
[12:48] <yggdrasil> mwe is the um
[12:48] <Seveas> ati drivers are much better than nvidia
[12:48] <yggdrasil> mwe http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6675
[12:48] <Pygi> Seveas: huh, not really :/
[12:48] <XiP> ?Q? What's a command I can use to check the kernel version?
[12:48] <Seveas> Pygi, they are
[12:48] <Kindred> no composite support..
[12:48] <Seveas> they support suspend
[12:48] <yggdrasil> mwe it shoudl allow it hahah
[12:48] <Pygi> Seveas: I have much better experience with nvidia ones :/
[12:48] <cvt|gnuyear> why can't i play two media files simultaneously?
[12:48] <mcphail> XiP: uname -r
[12:48] <Pygi> Seveas: huh? I have suspend as well on ATI :/
[12:48] <XiP> mcphail: thx
[12:48] <Seveas> and the OSS drivers do composite if you want that
[12:48] <CodenameKT> seveas: nvidia supports ut 2004 on linux
[12:49] <Lee22> Hey guys, I installed NSF and in /etc/exports I have my PowerBook's iP shared to /home/myusername with options RW.  It mounts fine on my powerbook but I can't write to it says I don't have the necessary permission, even though its set at rw?  Anyone know what's wrong?
[12:49] <odat> well i guess its time to just reinstall
[12:49] <odat> :(
[12:49] <Seveas> ati delivers debs of their drivers :)
[12:49] <existance> how do i run a .exe ?
[12:49] <yggdrasil> nailoth
[12:49] <Seveas> existance, reboot into windows
[12:49] <odat> existance, wine
[12:49] <bimberi> ubotu tell existance about wine
[12:49] <Pygi> Seveas: huh, well, probably, but I don't care if I have or I don't have a deb package...using make is not a problem for me
[12:49] <LemLapUbuntu> okay i've done that command bimberi
[12:49] <Pygi> it's preffered way of installing things for me :)
[12:49] <LemLapUbuntu> and now it's asking for a root password
[12:49] <kurros> unless you are talking about a C# .exe
[12:49] <LemLapUbuntu> which i didn't setup
[12:50] <bimberi> LemLapUbuntu: your password
[12:50] <Pygi> use ur user pass
[12:50] <CodenameKT> seveas: i dont know much about nvidia i have ati but i can tell u that i have found some things only nvidia supported
[12:50] <Lee22> Anyone know?
[12:50] <Seveas> CodenameKT, same for ati :)
[12:50] <LemLapUbuntu> ah cool
[12:50] <LemLapUbuntu> working now
[12:50] <LemLapUbuntu> thanks
[12:50] <oooh_walt> when i download iso i burned it with roxio but iso won't load up at start up. do i need txt files also in iso?
[12:50] <yggdrasil> i should be able to mount an smb drive from a windows server
[12:50] <Seveas> CodenameKT, and old ati cards are still supported, nvidia just ditched all support for old cards
[12:50] <bimberi> ubotu tell LemLapUbuntu about root
[12:50] <yggdrasil> dont see how it realy matters
[12:51] <Pygi> CodenameK: I have ATI card, and it works great, so don't get me wrong, but I still think nvidia drivers are just better  :)
[12:51] <CodenameKT> seveas: That's not too nice. Sounds like microsoft xbox
[12:51] <oooh_walt> bimberi when i download iso i burned it with roxio but iso won't load up at start up. do i need txt files also in iso?
[12:51] <LemLapUbuntu> thanks bimberi
[12:51] <foot> i have this old amd k6 300mhz... Anybody know of an insanely outdated, dorky and dusty OS i could put on it (for kicks and giggles)
[12:51] <foot> ;)
[12:51] <mwe> yggdrasil: paste your /etc/samba/smb.conf
[12:51] <Eugman> hey mwe
[12:51] <bimberi> oooh_walt: you don't need the txt files, just the iso file which you burn as an image (ie. don't just burn the iso file onto a cd)
[12:51] <Kindred> oooh_walt, just the iso burned as an image
[12:51] <bimberi> LemLapUbuntu: np :)
[12:51] <mwe> Eugman: hey
[12:52] <Ophiocus> paste?
[12:52] <Eugman> could you clarify "Edit Apache Configuration" section and if I need to do it
[12:52] <Ophiocus> where?
[12:52] <Ophiocus> here?
[12:52] <Ophiocus> dont you dare
[12:52] <LemLapUbuntu> i think i'll keep this window open in case i need more help :-D
[12:52] <oooh_walt> bimberi step by step plz , i'm doing somthing wrong.
[12:52] <cdehaan> How do I erase the MBR with fdisk?
[12:52] <Eugman> The first think I found was www-data and I think that's probably supposed to be a group
[12:53] <bimberi> oooh_walt: i have no idea how roxio works - it's a windows program after all :)
[12:53] <mwe> Ophiocus: of course not in the channel. he knows how to use pastebin
[12:53] <LemLapUbuntu> if anyone wants help with seeting up a windows machine as a netboot server i'm your man :-D
[12:53] <oooh_walt> i know i want to test ubuntu, help
[12:53] <Pygi> seveas: and I've learned that nvidia delivers much better opengl optimizations and performance when using opengl in coding :)
[12:53] <Ophiocus> just warning happy i am
[12:53] <yggdrasil> mwe im just using mount -t smbfs ?
[12:53] <mcphail> cdehaan: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/yourdisk bs=512 count=1
[12:53] <Ophiocus> :P
[12:53] <nekostar> so i take it that planet mirror is down
[12:53] <nekostar> as my system cant stat packages and um
[12:54] <mwe> yggdrasil: yeah. pastebin your /etc/samba/smb.conf

[12:54] <CodenameKT> pygi yeah but ati has the ansii card for ansii gaming roar!!
[12:54] <nekostar> yggdrasil,

[12:54] <nekostar> what did u get your nick from?
[12:54] <yggdrasil> neko

[12:54] <nekostar> ah
[12:55] <LemLapUbuntu> yay
[12:55] <yggdrasil> and an old linux distro
[12:55] <LemLapUbuntu> it's working
[12:55] <oooh_walt> kindred ok after record then what ?
[12:55] <mwe> yggdrasil: well for just mounting a windows machine share it's probably no use. forget about it. sorry
[12:55] <cyphase> what's the command to uncompress a .tar.gz file
[12:55] <bimberi> LemLapUbuntu: great! :)
[12:55] <cdehaan> mcphail, I think I want an fdisk command...
[12:55] <yggdrasil> mwe thats what im saying its supposed to come up ins fstab and mount
[12:55] <Kindred> oooh_walt, i'm just reading this off a site but it seems easy enough - just burn your iso like that
[12:55] <yggdrasil> ive got it all there
[12:55] <Pygi> LemLap: works now?
[12:55] <LemLapUbuntu> yeah
[12:55] <LemLapUbuntu> getting the packages atm
[12:55] <cvt|gnuyear> How can i fix the terrible distortion i hear when playing wav files?
[12:55] <mwe> yggdrasil: yeah
[12:55] <TestMAD> is there a way to make my current ubuntu install and settings into a livecd?
[12:55] <LemLapUbuntu> any idea how many it will get?
[12:56] <yggdrasil> i think it has something to do with uid gid
[12:56] <mwe> yggdrasil: you can mount it but not write?
[12:56] <Pygi> LemLap: congrats :)
[12:56] <yggdrasil> exactly
[12:56] <Dreamglider> Hey, anyone here use Synergy ?
[12:56] <Pygi> !patience
[12:56] <ubotu> There are a lot of questions, but only few who might answer you. Please be patient.
[12:56] <cdehaan> mcphail, Nevermind, it appears that is right.
[12:56] <cdehaan> mcphail, Thanks for your help.
[12:56] <mwe> yggdrasil: can you write if you're root?
[12:56] <oooh_walt> i did that and now it says i can only open it with roxio. the image is there, i see it. but whe i reboot it won't start ubuntu
[12:56] <bimberi> cyphase: tar xvzf file.tar.gz
[12:57] <oooh_walt> kindre look at previous message
[12:57] <cyphase> that's the one :P
[12:57] <cyphase> thanx bimberi
[12:57] <bimberi> LemLapUbuntu: there might be a % complete figure on the left
[12:57] <bimberi> cyphase: np :)
[12:57] <LemLapUbuntu> nope
[12:57] <LemLapUbuntu> :-(
[12:57] <LemLapUbuntu> oh well
[12:57] <bimberi> hm
[12:57] <oooh_walt> kindred the image is there, it won't start when i reboot.
[12:57] <scummbar> hi people, can anybody tell me the permisions that I must change to make a directory witrable by apache in ubuntu breezy? I can't find wich users is running apache
[12:58] <yggdrasil> bah ok ill deal with this tomorow
[12:58] <yggdrasil> thanks guys
[12:58] <LemLapUbuntu> just has like get:# ftp://blah.blah.blah filename version size
[12:59] <Ophiocus> scummbar, sudo chmod 777 /dir/for/apache/dir
[12:59] <mwe> Ophiocus: bad idea
[12:59] <scummbar> yes...
[12:59] <Ophiocus> that opens up the dir to any user for any purpose
[01:00] <mwe> Ophiocus: insecure as hell
[01:00] <scummbar> anybody could del my files
[01:00] <Ophiocus> and its not secure,. but for playing around with apache it works
[01:01] <scummbar> how can I solve my problema?
[01:01] <mcphail> Has anyone managed to install mythtv under amd64?
[01:01] <mwe> scummbar: well just change owner to www-data I think
[01:01] <scummbar> chown -R www.data /var/www
[01:01] <mwe> scummbar: I think that the user apache runs as at least
[01:02] <mwe> scummbar: or rather it is
[01:02] <scummbar> root      4945  0.0  3.4  16456  7652 ?        Ss    2005   0:00 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start
[01:02] <scummbar> nobody   26600  0.0  6.5  23056 14780 ?        S     2005   4:58 /usr/local/apache2/bin/httpd -k start
[01:02] <cosmo_> file browser
[01:02] <Morg> Is Ubuntu ever going to release a Firefox 1.5 package?
[01:03] <Kindred> not for breezy
[01:03] <Morg> Kindred: Why not?
[01:03] <mwe> scummbar: how did you run apache and are we talking apache2?
[01:03] <LemLapUbuntu> cause dapper comes out soon?
[01:03] <scummbar> yes
[01:03] <scummbar> apache2
[01:03] <mwe> LemLapUbuntu: yeah in 4 months
[01:04] <LemLapUbuntu> oh
[01:04] <Kindred> Morg, 1.5 has some changes that can't be backported without breaking stuff
[01:04] <LemLapUbuntu> lol
[01:04] <mwe> scummbar: how did you start it?
[01:04] <LemLapUbuntu> meh i'm gonna use opera anyway
[01:04] <LemLapUbuntu> i like my tabbed browsing and mouse gestures too much
[01:04] <Kindred> Morg, you can of course just install it to a dir as it is though
[01:04] <Morg> Kindred: So when does the next version of Ubuntu come out?
[01:05] <athlon> have anyone else here noticed that Firefox in ubuntu / linux is MUCH slower than its windows counterpart
[01:05] <Kindred> Morg, April
[01:05] <mwe> scummbar: cause I have: www-data  3360  0.0  0.3  13912  3128 ?        S    Jan05   0:00 /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start -DSSL
[01:05] <Morg> athlon: No, but I've noticed Firefox constantly crashing in Ubuntu
[01:05] <Eugman> yeah ubuntu has a 6 month release cycle
[01:05] <dueyfinster> Help needed, I accidently misconfigured xserver-xorg and now its gone. I cannot resolve my router to reinstall it on command line.
[01:05] <scummbar> mwe /etc/init.d/
[01:05] <Kindred> I think <IP_ADDRESS> in default breezy is very clunky/slow
[01:05] <Morg> I'm not sure I get why they can't update Firefox.
[01:06] <mwe> scummbar: and what you pasted was from ps aux|grep apache ?
[01:06] <scummbar> yep
[01:06] <mwe> Morg: because stuff that depends on gecko will break
[01:06] <mwe> Morg: that's like 50 things or more
[01:06] <Eugman> could someone explain why I have to do this? "Search both the strings starting by "User" and "Group", and change the names by the current username and groupname you are using. Then you'll need to restart Apache."
[01:07] <Eugman> !lamp
[01:07] <ubotu> lamp is probably Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP, one of the standard internet server installations. Installing LAMP in Ubuntu is fairly straightforward. More info at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP
[01:07] <cj> Eugman: I heard mysql.  can I help you?
[01:07] <dueyfinster> Any way to reinstall xserver off ubuntu cd?
[01:07] <JoeBlow> has anyone had any problems with loki where it cant find cds or isos?
[01:07] <Morg> mwe: So if I can install it myself in a new directory, why don't they make a new package that does the same thing, but integrates with the other things I've installed?
[01:07] <Hericus> http://www.cnn.com/2006/EDUCATION/01/04/largest.prime.number.ap/index.html
[01:08] <mwe> Morg: like I told you it would break too much stuff
[01:08] <Eugman> I'm hesistant about the edit apache configurations under the explaination of a lamp install because it seems like www-data is what it should be
[01:08] <Kindred> Morg, it's the integrating that's the problem
[01:08] <Morg> mwe: I guess you didn't read my statement.
[01:08] <bimberi> dueyfinster: can you tried running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ?
[01:08] <mwe> Morg: read http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20051212#3 for reference. you installing it yourself keeps the old one around for stuff that needs the old gecko
[01:08] <bimberi> s/can/have/
[01:08] <dueyfinster> No bisber will do
[01:09] <leddt> Hey anyone can help me? I'm tryng to boot from the live cd (amd64 version) but I get an error when xserver is starting : Failed to start the X server. Error details says no screens found. Any idea what may be causing this ?
[01:09] <Morg> mwe: Precisely, so why can't they make a package that does the equivalent of what installing it yourself does?
[01:09] <JoeBlow> how do i enable joliet extensions?
[01:09] <mwe> Morg: they could. but that would mean having two versions of firefox around
[01:09] <Morg> mwe: And why can't they do that?
[01:09] <dueyfinster> Xserver is broken or not fully installed
[01:10] <dueyfinster> Bisber: xserver is broken
[01:10] <mwe> Morg: I guess they could. I don't know why they wont. maybe they think it's a mess
[01:10] <xiaogil> How to install 'ncurses-devel', it's not in the reposits...?
[01:10] <Dreamglider> does anyone use quicksynergy ?
[01:10] <JoeBlow> how do i enable joliet extensions?
[01:10] <corresponder> dueyfinster: all installed?
[01:10] <Morg> mwe: Seems like they already made a mess if they can't install new versions of a web browser.
[01:11] <mwe> Morg: no wrong
[01:11] <corresponder> sudo dpkg -reconfigure xserver-xfree86
[01:11] <LemLapUbuntu> heh. i think this is doing he 812 packages it said it needed
[01:11] <Some_Body> by default, sudo doesn't require a password, right?
[01:11] <Morg> mwe: How so?
[01:11] <mwe> Morg: firefox developers should start thinking and not change the api all the time
[01:11] <bimberi> dueyfinster: looks like a reinstall then
[01:11] <Some_Body> because I ddin't set one, but whenever I run sudo I'm prompted for a password
[01:11] <Kindred> Some_Body, sure it does
[01:11] <dueyfinster> Corresponder: No cant resolve ra0 (wireless) router to update, can do it off cd?
[01:11] <bimberi> Some_Body: it uses your user password
[01:12] <leddt> corresponder: so I run this and it may help ?
[01:12] <corresponder> which cd?
[01:12] <JoeBlow> how do i enable joliet extensions?
[01:12] <Some_Body> ok, thanks
[01:12] <dueyfinster> Bisber: must be a way
[01:12] <corresponder> the ubuntu one has all on it to make X wokr
[01:12] <Ophiocus> one short question,. whats img extention for and opens that?
[01:12] <mwe> Morg: making it independent of other apps would mean not installing anything the depends on gecko
[01:12] <leddt> (I'm pretty new to linux in general)
[01:12] <bimberi> dueyfinster: edit sources.list , comment out everything except the CD line, sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg
[01:12] <mwe> Morg: that includes the help browser and other stuff
[01:13] <TestMAD> whats the esiest way to turn my ubuntu install int a livecd?
[01:13] <Morg> mwe: If Ubuntu set up any of their software so that it was dependent on Firefox, then I'd say Ubuntu already made a mess.
[01:13] <pusling> what version of xorg are the ubuntu livecds using ? any one with 6.9 ?
[01:14] <navarone> testmad why not just use the live cd?
[01:14] <cyphase> *sigh*
[01:14] <TestMAD> doesnt have fluxbox
[01:14] <TestMAD> or my fonts
[01:14] <TestMAD> or any apps that i use
[01:15] <jahshua--> hey guys i would like to set/up use ethereal.. anyone got any tips? good links? i have absolutely no idea what to do with it
[01:15] <mwe> Morg: I guess keeping gecko as a seperate package and providing firefox as standalone would solve. file a bug report
[01:15] <khermans> Anyone know how to convert videos for use on my new iPod?
[01:15] <JoeBlow> anyone had any luck with loki game installer?
[01:15] <polpak> mwe, I'm pretty sure that's what they're planning to do for dapper

[01:18] <cyphase> jahshua--, you should go to http://www.ethereal.com then
[01:18] <cyphase> it has to many features to explain on IRC

[01:19] <jahshua--> k
[01:19] <Mabus06> polpak, know another program that has a library thing?
[01:19] <navarone> polpak...generally nautilus file browser is my music library interface...at least I tend to use it more than rythmbox
[01:19] <scummbar> luis: atiende mi privado
[01:19] <cyphase> jahshua--, but for basic usage, it's very easy
[01:19] <polpak> Mabus06, only amrok, and it uses KDE libs
[01:19] <cyphase> you just start a capture
[01:19] <cyphase> there's a button :P
[01:19] <mwe> /ignore is a wonderful feature
[01:19] <polpak> navarone, yeah, I know
[01:19] <polpak> navarone, but some people (like my wife) can't live without em ;p
[01:20] <jahshua--> cyphase: ok thanks :)
[01:20] <cyphase> jahshua--, np :)
[01:20] <navarone> polapk...i find r-box library can make files hard to find...especially if they have weird character encoding...like Russian or such...or if the tag info leaves out inportant things like title...or artist...:/
[01:20] <luis> olaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[01:21] <mpatton> i just did a Breezy upgrade with dist-upgrade, but my X windows is now hosed.  I am downloading Breezy ISO from a mirror now.  My question is whether or not I will need to reformat.

[01:22] <MrFaber> hi all
[01:22] <luis> scummm?
[01:22] <polpak> mpatton, just save your /home directory to a different partition. Then you can upgrade without losing any of your important data
[01:22] <CodyDH> Hello!
[01:23] <luis> ablame en privado pliss
[01:23] <CodyDH> What kind of support is there for Ubuntu on PPC?
[01:23] <MrFaber> I have two network cards and I want a special eth0 and eth1 allocation but ubuntu has twisted them
[01:23] <seth_k|lappy> Seveas, ajmitch, hi. Could you guys take care of luis please.
[01:23] <mwe> CodyDH: good support I think
[01:23] <MrFaber> I have created a file in modutils and used alias commands but it didn't help
[01:23] <bimberi> TestMAD: https://wiki.ubuntu.com//LiveCDCustomizationHowTo
[01:23] <MrFaber> What can I do about that?
[01:23] <polpak> scummbar, I've had ubotu msg luis several times. He's just feigning ignorance and spamming
[01:23] <seth_k|lappy> thanks Seveas, I appreciate it :)
[01:23] <Seveas> seth_k|lappy, de nada
[01:23] <mpatton> polpak: i only have one partition on my drive
[01:23] <CodyDH> mwe: Ok...
[01:23] <Seveas> just use the !ops trigger :)
[01:24] <luis> hola scummbar
[01:24] <luis> estas
[01:24] <seth_k|lappy> Seveas, he's back :P
 ops witha  trigger...scary...<s>
[01:24] <polpak> mpatton, well you can use parted to make 2
[01:24] <LemLapUbuntu> yup
[01:24] <mpatton> polpak thanks.
[01:24] <mwe> Seveas: will !ops actually get the ops attention?
[01:24] <polpak> mpatton, just resize your original one
[01:24] <LemLapUbuntu> it's doing all 800 packages
[01:24] <LemLapUbuntu> upto 266 now
[01:24] <polpak> mpatton, to make room
[01:24] <LemLapUbuntu> this is gonna take awhile
[01:24] <polpak> mpatton, ubuntu (the OS part) only needs at most like 5 gigs
[01:25] <LemLapUbuntu> stupid 512kbit adsl
[01:25] <mpatton> very nice
[01:25] <echeese> How do I get dualboot working?
[01:25] <Seveas> mwe, yes
[01:25] <mpatton> thanks for the info
[01:25] <polpak> mpatton, sure thing
[01:25] <Seveas> mwe, so don't abuse it
[01:25] <JoeBlow> can someon help me out with cvs cedega please?
[01:25] <mwe> Seveas: of course not
[01:25] <polpak> mpatton, you can then just mount the 2nd partition as your home when you install breezy
[01:26] <JoeBlow> can someone , anyone, please help me out here with cvs cedega
[01:26] <polpak> JoeBlow, nope. I just use wine.. And even that grudgingly.
[01:26] <Eugman> echeese I found this video perfect when I installed a dual boot setup for ubuntu video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-6104490811311898236&q=ubuntu
[01:27] <echeese> Ooh
[01:27] <JoeBlow> polpak: im using a tutorials, and it tells me to run a file, but i dont know where that file is or something
[01:27] <echeese> Thanks Eugman
[01:27] <Eugman> np
[01:27] <polpak> JoeBlow, what file does it say to run?
[01:27] <JoeBlow> polpak: cvscedega
[01:27] <leddt> Hey can any body help me? I have a boot problem related to xserver (using livecd amd64). Private message please!
[01:28] <polpak> JoeBlow, dunno
[01:28] <JoeBlow> polpak: is their a way to search the harddrive?
[01:28] <polpak> JoeBlow, locate filename
[01:28] <mwe> leddt: why not keep it public so other people can benefit from it?
[01:29] <JoeBlow> polpak: where do i put the harddrive name in their?
[01:29] <Eugman> Does anyone here know why php might not be working properly but the html is fine?
[01:29] <mwe> Eugman: yeah the module is not loaded or set up correctly
[01:29] <polpak> JoeBlow, you don't. It searches the locate database which is built from all the files on your filesystem
[01:29] <mwe> Eugman: read !lamp
[01:29] <Eugman> I did
[01:29] <leddt> alright, I get an error when xserver is starting, it says no screens found. I am pretty new to linux in general so I have no idea where to look.
[01:29] <Eugman> I'l re read but I'm sure I did what it said
[01:30] <cvt|gnuyear> is there not a .wav player that has a repeat button?
[01:30] <hou5ton> I didn't find how to do this in Keyboard shortcuts ... is there a way to make the "windows" key on my keyboard be a hot button to open Synaptic?
[01:30] <echeese> Can ubuntu write to ntfs?
[01:30] <bur[n] er> echeese: if you get the captive NTFS driver
[01:31] <bur[n] er> hou5ton: gconf-editor  ... apps -> metacity -> global-keybindings
[01:31] <stoneage> ntfs is evil
[01:31] <Eugman> no echeese
[01:31] <stoneage> fat32 rules!
[01:31] <hou5ton> bur[n] er:  I thought the answer to echeese's question was NO ... are you saying I CAN write to NTFS?
[01:31] <polpak> hou5ton, just be sure you bind to the command gksudo synaptic
[01:31] <bur[n] er> george bush is evil, ntfs is just proprietary
[01:32] <Eugman> Well generally speaking no
[01:32] <bur[n] er> hou5ton: yes, with captive NTFS driver... like i said
[01:32] <Aven> how do I stop ubuntu from making random noises?
[01:32] <navarone> Aven define "random noises"
[01:32] <cafuego> Aven: Unplug the speakers
[01:32] <stoneage> Aven: stop using drugs
[01:32] <leddt> any idea anyone?
[01:32] <cafuego> Call ghostbusters
[01:32] <Aven> do you guys sit here to flame or help?
[01:32] <stoneage> lol
[01:33] <stoneage> flame
[01:33] <stoneage> obisously
[01:33] <Eugman> Aven: Large hammer?  I'm not sure what you want me to do with that?
[01:36] <lightbright> cafuego: i had finished anyway, just dont like seeing nice people like you getting ripped by others :)
[01:36] <lightbright> Seveas: ok :)
[01:36] <cvt|gnuyear> I get strange_sound.wav too
[01:36] <cafuego> lightbright: Stop calling me nice *kick* ;-)
[01:37] <lightbright> cafuego: lol :)
[01:37] <Blackoak> I thought that rpcgen was part of the basic glibc install but apparently it's not :)
[01:37] <dueyfinster> How'd you do gedit without a gui?
[01:37] <Seveas> cafuego, take your hidden fantasies to -offtopic kplzthxbye
[01:37] <Seveas> dueyfinster, nano
[01:37] <cafuego> dueyfinster: not
[01:37] <Seveas> :)
[01:37] <cafuego> dueyfinster: you need to use an editor without an X gui, like nano, or vim, or emacs.
[01:38] <Determinist> vim/emacs are evul
[01:38] <navarone> Blackoak try in terminal "dpkg -Lrpcgen"
[01:38] <Determinist> having to learn how to use a text editor makes no sense to me
[01:38] <navarone> Blackoak try in terminal "dpkg -L rpcgen" <-- sorry
[01:38] <cvt|gnuyear> Is there any working media players out there?
[01:38] <cafuego> Determinist: Then use nano.
[01:38] <JoeBlow> how come the locate file does nothing for me?
[01:38] <cvt|gnuyear> are
[01:39] <Eugman> Anyone have any idea on how I can figure out the source of my php problem?
[01:39] <JoeBlow> i run locate command and it does nothing
[01:39] <hou5ton> polpak:  I don't understand what you mean by gksudo binding ???
[01:39] <cafuego> Seveas: I wouldn't exactly call them hidden <heh>
[01:39] <Determinist> cafuego, i do :)
[01:39] <cafuego> JoeBlow: Hopw are you running it?
[01:39] <Manjunk> hieyoas all!
[01:39] <sfire||mouse> JoeBlow: try running updatedb
[01:39] <JoeBlow> cafuego: locate cvscedega
[01:39] <Blackoak> Looks like -L is an incorrect option to dpkg
[01:39] <dueyfinster> This may be a silly qust
[01:40] <Manjunk> i have a quiestionnaireas, kinda newb i guess, but im not used to linx >_<
[01:40] <polpak> hou5ton, you have to use gksudo for synaptic otherwise you won't have proper permissions
[01:40] <polpak> Manjunk, linx or linux?
[01:40] <dueyfinster> howd ypu use options in  nano?
[01:40] <cafuego> JoeBlow: locate runs on a database that's indexed at 6:25 am. if you downloaded AFTER 6:25, it won't locate it until tomorrow.
[01:40] <Manjunk> linux** ubuntu, specifically (this is my first time running linux)
[01:40] <navarone> Blackoak..hmm...that's what dpkg -help says tho
[01:40] <polpak> Manjunk, ah, ok
[01:40] <cafuego> JoeBlow: Try 'find / -iname "*cvscedega*"'
[01:41] <JoeBlow> cafuego: ok one second
[01:41] <Eugman> Well go ahead and ask manjunk
[01:41] <JoeBlow> cafuego: god damn cvs cedega is giving me problems installing
[01:41] <mixandgo> any ideea on how to install emacs-cvs on ubuntu ?
[01:41] <navarone> Blackoak try with -S instead
[01:41] <Manjunk> synaptic package manager is only giving me version 1.07 of firefox, and the website has 1.5 available for update
[01:41] <hou5ton> polpak:  ok ... i think I got that part ... now ... where do I start?   I'm not sure what was meant for me to do with gconf-edit ..... apps etc.
[01:41] <Seveas> mixandgo, apt-get build-dep emacs
[01:41] <cafuego> Manjunk: breezy has 1.0.7 as newest version.
[01:41] <Seveas> then get the source
[01:42] <Seveas> and do the configure make make install dance
[01:42] <Manjunk> i downloaded the .tar.gz  file, now i need to find a way to actually get it to work =/
[01:42] <polpak> Manjunk, 1.5 will be in the next version of ubuntu
[01:42] <polpak> Manjunk, is there a reason you 'must' use 1.5?
[01:42] <xiaogil> What does bluejob mean ?
[01:42] <navarone> I can't do that dance...two left feet...<sigh>
[01:42] <Manjunk> oohh, i cant download the program myself and get it working?
[01:42] <Sunbug> What package gives me the /lib/modules/$KERNEL-VERSION/build folder?
[01:42] <xiaogil> Sorry, what does blowjob mean ?
[01:42] <Blackoak> It lists a syntax file from vim-common
[01:42] <cafuego> Seveas: Nono, cp -a debian; edit debian/changelog; and dpkg-buildpackage -b often work fine. (and result in a .deb!)
[01:42] <Blackoak> hmmmm
[01:42] <JoeBlow> when i load a profile in WineCVS it tells me Authentication failure
[01:42] <polpak> Manjunk, You can, but it would not be easy for a self proclaimed linux newb
[01:42] <Manjunk> not a "must", just a very very useful javascript plugin i saw requires the isntall of some other program, that only uses 1.5
[01:42] <dueyfinster> Please I just need info on how to use options in Nano at th bottom, can anyone help me?
[01:43] <Manjunk> ha! i know ^_^
[01:43] <cvt|gnuyear> What do you do on ubuntu?
[01:43] <polpak> duende, the ^ indicates CTRL
[01:43] <stoneage> just use mozilla.org binaries or compile it yourself
[01:43] <echeese> How do I make samba shares?
[01:43] <polpak> dueyfinster, so ^O would be CTRL-)
[01:43] <polpak> dueyfinster, err CTRL-O
[01:43] <jdong> umm, what's prat.ubuntu.com
[01:43] <cafuego> !tel Manjunk -about ff1.5
[01:43] <ubotu> cafuego: NO SPEAKE ENLISH!
[01:43] <navarone> duey...most function require you to press ...I believe...ctrl and key to perform action...like ctrl-x to close or exit...maybe shift and key though
[01:44] <cafuego> !tell Manjunk -about ff1.5
[01:44] <jdong> we have some forum peoople concerned about seemingly random netstat connections to prat.ubuntu.com
[01:44] <dueyfinster> polpak thanks!
[01:44] <cafuego> Manjunk: See the url ubotu gave you.
[01:44] <jdong> it has a very weird front page, too
[01:44] <JoeBlow> when i load a profile in WineCVS it tells me Authentication failure
[01:44] <mixandgo> Seveas, E: Unable to find a source package for emacs
[01:44] <Manjunk> aahh, thanks
[01:44] <mcphail> Has anyone managed to install mythtv under amd64?
[01:44] <jdong> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=113085 for forum topic
[01:44] <echeese> Um, how do I get Flash player working under AM64
[01:45] <cafuego> echeese: in a 32bit chroot
[01:45] <hou5ton> polpak:  ok ... i think I got that part ... now ... where do I start?   I'm not sure what was meant for me to do with gconf-edit ..... apps etc.
[01:45] <slashx1896> Can someone help me copy a movie to a blank dvd??
[01:45] <echeese> cafuego: Are there instructions?
[01:46] <mcphail> !chroot
[01:46] <ubotu> methinks chroot is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24575
[01:46] <cafuego> echeese: The only ones I've seen were for Debian. To be honest, if you need flash you're better off installing 32bit Ubuntu.
[01:46] <mcphail> echeese: the second url
[01:46] <JoeBlow> when i load a profile in WineCVS it tells me Authentication failure, anyone know how to help this?
[01:46] <polpak> jdong, I haven't seen anything like that from my system
[01:47] <slashx1896> anyone? ive tryed other things but im confused... i just wanna copy my movie to a blank dvd
[01:47] <JoeBlow> slashx1896, tried gnomebacker?
[01:47] <slashx1896> gnomebacker does it?
[01:47] <JoeBlow> slashx1896, tried gnomebaker?
[01:47] <JoeBlow> slashx1896, im pretty sure
[01:47] <slashx1896> itry
[01:48] <slashx1896> how do i get the dvd image?
[01:48] <slashx1896> from my dvd.
[01:49] <polpak> hou5ton, applications->system tools->configuration editor
[01:49] <JoeBlow> when i load a profile in WineCVS it tells me Authentication failure, anyone know how to help this?
[01:50] <hou5ton> polpak:  oh ... ok ... thanks
[01:50] <polpak> hou5ton, then in there go to apps->metacity->keybinding commands and global keybindings
[01:50] <slashx1896> anyone? how do i get the dvd image from my movi so i can burn it to a play dvd
[01:50] <slashx1896> movie*
[01:50] <Toma-> JoeBlow: you mean cedergacvs?
[01:51] <xiaogil> how to watch a dvd image ?
[01:51] <cvt|gnuyear> i have never learned how to fix any problem in a help file.
[01:51] <Linuturk> anyone know of a good reference for linux? any good books?
[01:51] <JoeBlow> Toma: im using this http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=45
[01:51] <echeese> How do I copy a dvd?
[01:51] <cvt|gnuyear> i
[01:51] <cvt|gnuyear> i'd like to know, also
[01:51] <joey222> he dam config file from root
[01:52] <Toma-> slashx1896: is it copy protected?
[01:52] <polpak> Linuturk, which aspect are you trying to learn?
[01:52] <Toma-> echeese: cpdvd
[01:52] <slashx1896> Toma- not sure
[01:52] <echeese> Toma-: What if it's css-encoded?
[01:52] <Linuturk> polpak, anything in general. An overall view, and some ubuntu/debian based stuff would be nice
[01:52] <navarone> Linuturk, for linux in general I would suggest Linux Desk Reference by Scott hawkins...has pretty much all commands listed with examples of usage
[01:52] <slashx1896> Toma-, how do i find out if it is?
[01:53] <joey222> is der book on ubuntu all in
[01:53] <polpak> Linuturk, much of learning is just using it. In the same way that you learned windows by trying to make it do something. the same is true for linux
[01:53] <JoeBlow> anyone had luck with this  http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=45
[01:53] <navarone> Linuturk, or you can google rutebook and dl the pdf file...it is pretty comprehensive and well written
[01:53] <RedRose> is there a chat server, either local for users, or over the internet, other then IRC, like using standard text
[01:54] <Linuturk> polpak, right, but I've also learned a lot by reading
[01:54] <cafuego> RedRose: try 'ytalk'
[01:54] <Blackoak> I am trying to find out which package contains the program rpcgen, can anyone help me out?
[01:54] <RedRose> i've tryied ytalk and talk and they both don't work...
[01:54] <ompaul> cafuego, now there is something I have not used in an era
[01:54] <echeese> What do linux users have for voice chat?
[01:54] <cafuego> !find rpcgen
[01:55] <cafuego> ompaul: :-)
[01:55] <RedRose> plus, i'm looking for something that iwll allow like 15 users to chat at one time
[01:55] <ubotu> Ubuntu Search of 'rpcgen' (3 shown): (/usr/bin/rpcgen) in libdevel/libc6-dev ;; (/usr/bin/ocamlrpcgen) in universe/libdevel/librpc-ocaml-dev ;; (/usr/share/vim/vim63/syntax/rpcgen.vim) in editors/vim-common.
[01:55] <navarone> actually...Linuturk rutebook is available tyrhu synaptic I think
[01:55] <cafuego> RedRose: They do require a talk server to be running
[01:55] <Blackoak> Is that for breezy?
[01:55] <cafuego> Blackoak: WIll that do?
[01:55] <cafuego> Blackoak: yes
[01:55] <navarone> tyrhu=thru
[01:55] <Toma-> slashx1896: it'll tell you when you try to copy it
[01:55] <slashx1896> ahh i have 2 problems i cant play dvds and i cant copy/burn them.. i rather fix copy/burn since i need a dvd copied by tomorrow

[01:56] <DRAGON_Ultra> use k3b
[01:56] <Linuturk> cool, thanks
[01:56] <slashx1896> shoot brb
[01:56] <echeese> Toma-: Will it burn it to another blank dvd?
[01:56] <Toma-> k3b doesnt use css, unless you compile it yourself
[01:57] <Toma-> echeese: no, it'll make an iso, which you then copy to a dvd
[01:57] <dueyfinster> I got xserver working I just need the command to use the backup configuration settings.
[01:57] <Blackoak> Oh my that worked wonderuflly :)  I am so happy thanks everyone!!
[01:57] <echeese> Toma-: Can I make it fit on a 4.7 gb disc?
[01:57] <Toma-> echeese: is it a dual layed dvd?
[01:57] <echeese> Yes
[01:58] <Toma-> youll need to re-encode it :/
[01:58] <Toma-> use acidrip. i find its the easiest
[01:58] <slashx1896> Alrite back
[01:58] <slashx1896> Toma- so what do i use to copy the dvd to my computer so i can burn it?
[01:58] <JoeBlow> can someone please help me out with cvs cedega??
[01:58] <dueyfinster> I got xserver working I just need the command to use the backup configuration settings.
[01:59] <Toma-> slashx1896: i use cpdvd
[01:59] <CptS> hi, where can i find a wma codec?
[01:59] <mwe> !w32codecs
[01:59] <ubotu> rumour has it, w32codecs is a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install
[01:59] <CptS> !w32codecs
[02:00] <ompaul> dueyfinster, cp the contents of your /etc/X11 off to one side - this assumes you got your drivers backed up also, or the card is part of the great supported bunch

[02:01] <Toma-> im using it right now actually.
[02:01] <ara> mwe ok
[02:01] <Toma-> slashx1896: yep
[02:01] <cafuego> pluffsy: mplayer would need the w32codecs
[02:01] <slashx1896> kk
[02:01] <hou5ton> polpak:  ok ... the best I can figure ... this is what I should do ... in keybinding_commands, I put "gksudo synaptic" in the key space, and then in the global_keybindings, I put Super_L in the corresponding run command.  Sound right?
[02:01] <mwe> ara: unrar-free or unrar-nonfree
[02:01] <pluffsy> cafuego, would be kind of hard under ubuntu ppc :)
[02:01] <pluffsy> but helix will work?
[02:02] <polpak> hou5ton, if Super_L is the right key.. I'm not sure what to use for the windows key
[02:02] <ara> mwe, ok
[02:02] <cafuego> pluffsy: yes, helix-player ought to work.
[02:02] <mwe> ara: for rar 3.0 files you need the nonfree one
[02:02] <slashx1896> brb all
[02:02] <ompaul> dueyfinster,  cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /wherever
[02:02] <hou5ton> polpak:  ya ... I went into preferences and pushed it in the keyboard shortcuts, and that is what was automatically entered.
[02:02] <Sunbug> Hey, help me out guys.. What pack provides build folder in /lib/modules/$kernel-version
[02:03] <cafuego> Sunbug: kernel-headers-$(uname -r)
[02:03] <hou5ton> polpak:  what does the "gksudo" do .... open it with my password already entered or something?
[02:03] <dueyfinster> Ompaul done
[02:03] <polpak> hou5ton, it causes it to prompt you for the password
[02:04] <hou5ton> polpak:  Looks like it works like a charm ...  Package not found. ;\ Tested with linux-header-$version pack, but didnt get the build folder ;\
[02:05] <ompaul> dueyfinster, what else do you want to do with it?
[02:05] <dueyfinster> I want to revert to old copy
[02:06] <lowman62> is the person that recommended crossover to me earlier in here?
[02:06] <ompaul> dueyfinster, I assume you put something in here /wherever <<---
[02:06] <dueyfinster> Yes
[02:06] <CptS> !w32codecs
[02:06] <ubotu> I heard w32codecs is a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install
[02:07] <navarone> duey if /etc/X11/ has an xorg.conf with a ~ or .backup that may be your previous settings...<?>
[02:07] <coz> hello all
[02:07] <glick> helllo
[02:07] <glick> excuse me is there a guide somewhere on how to copy a music cd in ubuntu?
[02:07] <ompaul> dueyfinster, try dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg - if you did not make a backup I doubt it if you have one - have a look in that directory
[02:07] <lowman62> you can get the w32codecs here ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/pool/main/w/w32codecs/w32codecs_20050412-0.0_i386.deb
[02:07] <coz>  I have an application i installed, a .deb package, named "sharpconstruct" but it won't run anyone use this before?
[02:08] <mwe> glick: I just use k3b. done
[02:08] <ompaul> 1am I have to split
[02:09] <hou5ton> how can I find this captive-ntfs?
[02:09] <lowman62> well if the person who recommended crossover is here..thank you I now can use adobe photoshop in ubuntu :)
[02:09] <Toma-> !captive-ntfs
[02:09] <ubotu> Toma-: Did you get hit by a windmill?
[02:09] <Sunbug> cafuego: Ah got it now. restricted pack. Thx.
[02:09] <hou5ton> lowman62:  what version?
[02:09] <glick> mwe, can it also convert mp3s to wav?
[02:09] <oneseventeen_> I'm running Breezy, and when I print from GIMP, I just get a bunch of text on my Epson stylus, but when I print a test page, I get the Ubuntu test page with colors just fine.
[02:09] <mwe> coz: you can't run a .deb file. you have to install it
[02:09] <navarone> dueyfinster, I have several backups of xorg.conf in my X11 folder...some software will make backups and may even assign dates to them if they have to change the file
[02:09] <lowman62> umm hold on i will tell you
[02:09] <coz> I already installed the .deb file but the executable will not start
[02:09] <lowman62> pro 5.0
[02:09] <oneseventeen_> the default command the GIMP uses to print is: lp -s -dStylus-Photo-R300 -oraw  (should I change that)?
[02:10] <mwe> glick: I don't know. I think so but I don't know if you have to do anything special to make it work since mp3 is nonfree
[02:10] <coz> The install procedure suggested NO dependencies or errors
[02:10] <Toma-> oneseventeen_: makesure you change the part with "Postscript" to Epson
[02:10] <glick> mwe, mp3 is free now
[02:10] <cvt|gnuyear> does help with ubuntu include kubuntu?
[02:10] <mwe> glick: no way
[02:10] <ataq> hey, whats the command to delete through the console?
[02:10] <glick> mwe, yeah they just released it
[02:11] <Toma-> cvt|gnuyear: yep
[02:11] <mwe> glick: really?
[02:11] <glick> the company who created mp3s
[02:11] <glick> yeah
[02:11] <mwe> glick: anyway ubuntu is still treating it like nonfree which means no support by default
[02:11] <kemik> glick:  care to provide links / info ?
[02:11] <glick> mwe, yeah probably cause when ubuntu was released it was still nonfree
[02:11] <dueyfinster> Navarone, any way to list and use these old config files?
[02:11] <glick> kemik, yeah sure hold up
[02:12] <coz> again, I am trying to run an application, after having installed it.
[02:12] <lowman62> glick check this out this may help http://www.linuxnewbieguide.org/chap10.php
[02:12] <oneseventeen_> Toma Thanks, I'll give that a try
[02:12] <coz> it is called "sharpconstruct"
[02:12] <coz> has onyone had experience with this applications?
[02:12] <navarone> duetfinsteri if they are in you /etc/X11/ folder you can copy backup onto xorg.conf to replace it...but you must do it as sudo
[02:13] <glick> http://www.fluendo.com/press/releases/PR-2005-05.html
[02:13] <dueyfinster> Navarone, howd I do that?
[02:13] <cvt|gnuyear> xine doesn't support exiting the app.
[02:14] <navarone> dueyfinster, see if you have any of the backups first
[02:14] <mwe> glick: that doesn't mean mp3 is free
[02:14] <dueyfinster> Navarone, youll need to guide me, I dunno how
[02:14] <CanYouHelpMePlz> can anyone help me with a printer problem ?
[02:14] <lowman62> cvt|gnuyear : click the x in the corner of the viewing screen
[02:14] <mwe> glick: it means they released a decoder that doesn't cost money.
[02:14] <glick> oh
[02:14] <cvt|gnuyear> lowman62, i did. it doesn't close
[02:14] <mwe> glick: mp3 is still propriatry
[02:14] <navarone> dueyfinster, are you using gnome?
[02:14] <glick> my bad then
[02:15] <polpak> glick, http://www.fluendo.com/press/releases/PR-2005-05.html
[02:15] <polpak> glick, whoops
[02:15] <dueyfinster> Navarone, yes
[02:15] <polpak> glick, http://swpat.ffii.org/patents/effects/mpeg/index.en.html
[02:15] <lowman62> cvt|gnuyear : wow that is weird..is it gXine?
[02:15] <Toma-> http://www.mp3licensing.com/royalty/
[02:15] <mwe> glick: I guess it will disabled in ubuntu by default still
[02:15] <cvt|gnuyear> lowman62, i don't think so.
[02:15] <coz> has anyone had experience with the application named "sharpconstruct'?
[02:15] <lowman62> cvt|gnuyear : are you using breezy?
[02:15] <SiN> Hi to all... can i have litte help????
[02:16] <cvt|gnuyear> lowman62, dapper
[02:16] <polpak> SiN, no meta questions pls. Just ask your question. If someone can answer it they will.
[02:16] <lowman62> cvt|gnuyear : ya see I use breezy so am not sure
[02:16] <navarone> dueyfinster, okay then go to places in top menu and go down to Computer...click filesystem and then etc...then X11...you can then see if you have any other xorg.confs as backups
[02:16] <lowman62> cvt|gnuyear : try here tho may have an answer http://www.linuxnewbieguide.org/chap10.php
[02:17] <SiN> thnx, when i type ./configure i have "C++ compiler cannot create executables" =(
[02:17] <Ophiocus> is there a way to "sudo" for a gnome drag and drop operation?
[02:17] <mwe> SiN: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:17] <polpak> SiN, have you already installed build-essentials ?
[02:17] <dueyfinster> Navarone, I can only use command line and debs on the cd
[02:17] <polpak> SiN, see mwe's post
[02:17] <SiN> no, i lame in linux
[02:17] <navarone> duey you are using live cd?
[02:18] <mwe> SiN: not to lame to type what I suggested :)
[02:18] <polpak> SiN, just go to a terminal and type sudo apt-get install build-essential
[02:18] <lowman62> Ophiocus: go to Applications>System Tools>Run as different user
[02:18] <dueyfinster> Navarone, no
[02:18] <lowman62> Ophiocus: then everything you do is root
[02:18] <SiN> ok thanx again
[02:18] <mwe> Ophiocus: I don't know of anyway to do that
[02:18] <Infected_enigma> Hey I want to dual boot install Ubuntu onto my computer. I am using an AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+. My question is that do I NEED to use the 64-bit edition, or can I use the 32-bit edition? Also if I use the 64-bit edition will it require 64-bit drivers as it would on windows 64-bit edition?
[02:19] <navarone> dueyfinster, I thought you said your were using gnome?
[02:19] <Ophiocus> i ll try what lowman62 says and report on my findings
[02:19] <Ophiocus> :)
[02:19] <dueyfinster> Navarone, I am, xserver is broken though
[02:19] <mwe> Ophiocus: unless the parent process is already priviledged of course :) but in that case gksudo is not needed, so ...
[02:19] <Kindred> Infected_enigma, you can use 32 if you wish, if you use 64 yes you will need 64 bit drivers
[02:19] <Infected_enigma> okay
[02:19] <Infected_enigma> thank you kindred
[02:19] <cvt|gnuyear> the bad part about data dvd burners is that they don't play back in any of my dvd players
[02:20] <Ophiocus> i get a permision denied when drag dropping a file from desktop to /
[02:20] <mwe> Ophiocus: yeah
[02:20] <Ophiocus> i ll sudo cp the $"%&
[02:20] <mwe> Ophiocus: you have to run your file manager with gksudo to do that
[02:20] <navarone> okay...dueyfinster...type cd /etc/X11 and press enter then type ls to list files in directory. If you have anything like xorg.conf_backup or such you are in business
[02:21] <SiN> now all ok, but at the end i have <configure: error: "Qt library is required to compile VyQChat!">
[02:21] <mwe> Ophiocus: it's actually a good thing everyone can't just do that just like that
[02:21] <Ophiocus> i know
[02:21] <cvt|gnuyear> when i talk about burning dvd's i'm referring to burning video files to a disk that will play in any dvd player
[02:21] <polpak> SiN, what are you trying to build?
[02:21] <cvt|gnuyear> but i suppose that's not real popular yet
[02:22] <mwe> Ophiocus: anyway gksudo nautilus would be a solution. I don't think you can drop and drag gksudo. not that I know of at least
[02:22] <SiN> VyQChat - lan broadcast(workin without server) chat... on w32 named Vypress Chat
[02:22] <navarone> cvt|gnuyear, when you figure it out you'll be a Happy Gnuyear...<s>
[02:22] <cvt|gnuyear> navarone, right on
[02:23] <Toma-> cvt|gnuyear: you wanna make your own dvd?
[02:23] <cvt|gnuyear> Toma-, yes but not just any dvd. a dvd that will play in any dvd player
[02:23] <Toma-> cvt|gnuyear: so like, a dvd? :P
[02:23] <dueyfinster> Navarone, I cd'd to it, how do I get it to list files?
[02:23] <Ophiocus> can i mount a .img file ?
[02:23] <Toma-> Ophiocus: nop
[02:24] <cvt|gnuyear> Toma-, no, too many ppl interpret that to mean data dvd.
[02:24] <navarone> dueyfinster, either "ls" or "dir" <-- without the quotes of course
[02:24] <Toma-> cvt|gnuyear: what format are u talking of then?
[02:24] <MarcN> Ophiocus: what is an img file? An image copy of a file system, say a CD?  Then use mount -o loop file.img /mnt
[02:24] <robertj> is 230w enough for any kind of decent video card these days?
[02:24] <cafuego> With quotes is fine too :-)
[02:24] <shooters> Is there a way to change the way fonts on GTK 1.x (e.g. VLC), gtk-theme-switch creates a .gtkrc, but doesn't take effect...
[02:24] <robertj> I'm looking at a 2.8 gig p4 with a 230w PSU
[02:24] <dueyfinster> Navarone I have got four xorg confs
[02:25] <Sunbug> How can i se whats packs are installed?
[02:25] <cafuego> robertj: Not for that Voodoo8 or whatever they had a year or two ago.
[02:25] <navarone> dueyfinster, what are their names?
[02:25] <Kindred> robertj: that's kinda low..
[02:25] <cvt|gnuyear> Toma-, the format that plays in all dvd players where video appears on the screen.
[02:25] <Toma-> cvt|gnuyear: thats a data disk...
[02:25] <cafuego> robertj: But 230W ought to be ok for cpu+gfx+1hdd+dvdrw
[02:25] <MarcN> Sunbug: synaptic is a gui to show you, or use the command like dpkg --list
[02:25] <cafuego> robertj: I wouldn't recommend adding much in the way of additional drives, though.
[02:26] <cvt|gnuyear> Toma-, data disks do not play in a single player i've ever seen.
[02:26] <SiN> last error <checking for Qt... ls: /lib/libqt*: No such file or directory>
[02:26] <cafuego> robertj: Or buy components and build yourself a machine. probably ends up being cheaper & better.
[02:26] <robertj> caf: I bet not
[02:26] <robertj> crap computer
[02:26] <MarcN> Sunbug: dpkg --list|grep ^ii will show what is currently installed.  apt-cache search SOMETHING will search all available packages and tell you what matches.
[02:26] <Toma-> cvt|gnuyear: youre saying, a dvd in the format of /audio_ts /video_ts isnt a valid dvd?
[02:26] <robertj> 2.8 gig p4/1gig/160gb DVD $301 after S&H
[02:26] <Toma-> because thats a data disk
[02:27] <dueyfinster> Navarone, I cant type much, I am on a pda,  it starts with<PHONE_NUMBER>45
[02:27] <cafuego> robertj: That's prolly have a SiS mobo
[02:27] <ale3hs> helo, does anyone know if there is a minilyric plugin for xmms or another linux player?
[02:27] <robertj> cafuego: it's a Dell
[02:27] <robertj> so I dunno what they use these days
[02:27] <cafuego> robertj: AVOID!!!!!!!!
[02:27] <robertj> and really the only thing I'm vaugely interested in is the onboard video
[02:27] <robertj> cafuego: Dells are "fine"
[02:27] <robertj> 301.23 goes a long way
[02:27] <navarone> dueyfinster, are you running ubuntu on a pda or just connected here now on one?
[02:27] <MarcN> cafuego: there is no accounting for taste ;-)
[02:28] <robertj> caf: if I add another HD & it's not spinning up, I would assume passive power draw is negligible?
[02:28] <dueyfinster> Navarone, no I got pc in front of me
[02:28] <cvt|gnuyear> Toma-, i don't know. all i know is that data disks just store files and don't support playback in dvd players.
[02:28] <cafuego> robertj: if it runs low on available power it will crash, it won't just not spin up.
[02:29] <Toma-> cvt|gnuyear: dvd's are just a bunch of vobs (a form of mpeg) stored on a disk. what you reeeeally need, is the correct format of data, and the right directory tree
[02:29] <cvt|gnuyear> Toma-, i get dvds at the store that play video on the screen. no such burning app i've installed has been able to burn a disk that plays the video.
[02:29] <Toma-> cvt|gnuyear: are you just putting an avi or mpeg straight onto a dvd?
[02:29] <robertj> caf: that I understand but I was just thinking I'd put this spare 40 in there just for a nightly backup
[02:30] <dueyfinster> Navarone, how would I use one of the backups
[02:30] <cvt|gnuyear> Toma-, yes
[02:30] <Toma-> cvt|gnuyear: i see. you need to 'master' the dvd video first, eg, encode it to a decent format for the dvd player, and give it a directory tree to read it all in.
[02:30] <navarone> okay dueyfinster sudo cp /etc/X11/<backupname> /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:30] <cafuego> robertj: Well.. try and see how you go...
[02:31] <Toma-> cvt|gnuyear: you can do it all with qdvdauthor or something similar
[02:31] <robertj> I can always dump that if I need to
[02:32] <dueyfinster> Navarone, I will try reboot to see if it works
[02:32] <navarone> dueyfinster,  ok
[02:33] <copyoulater> anyone know where i can download the default ubuntu cursors without downloading a whole cd image
[02:34] <navarone> copyoulater, no idea...but nice nice all the same
[02:34] <copyoulater> i really like them
[02:34] <navarone> nice nick rather
[02:34] <copyoulater> ok
[02:35] <apollo2011> I had OpenOffice.org2.0 on an old Ubuntu installation, and now I installed it on a new Kubuntu installation and when I create a new database, none of the wizards open...
[02:35] <copyoulater> apollo2011 they must be out of mana
[02:36] <dilema> lo
[02:36] <apollo2011> lol
[02:36] <dilema> anyone know hwo to give root a real login?
[02:36] <dilema> instead of sudo su/sudo
[02:36] <cvt|gnuyear> Toma-, doesn't support any video file i have: .avi, .wmv, .mpg, .mov, .bin, etc.
[02:36] <copyoulater> dilema it is in the wiki or faq i think
[02:37] <dilema> ill giver her a looksy
[02:37] <ILikeLinux> cvt|gnuyear: use mplayer
[02:37] <nics__> sudo passwd root - will assign a password to root and allow you to login in
[02:37] <copyoulater> you do that
[02:37] <cvt|gnuyear> ILikeLinux, does it author dvd's?
[02:37] <cvt|gnuyear> burn dvd's
[02:37] <Toma-> cvt|gnuyear: it'll definitly support mpg
[02:38] <copyoulater> dvd's are a thing of the past
[02:38] <cvt|gnuyear> Toma-, not for me
[02:38] <Toma-> cvt|gnuyear: have you got transcode installed?
[02:39] <cvt|gnuyear> i don't know yet
[02:39] <cvt|gnuyear> looking...
[02:39] <Toma-> also cvt|gnuyear, have you got the QXineWidget enabled?
[02:39] <foot> dilema, look in your /etc/sudoers file too
[02:39] <vbgunz> anybody here use revelation, the passcard program? If so, How in the world do you apply the Revelation panel applet?
[02:39] <jahshua--> hi can anyone tell me the terminal command to update system and to update all packages?
[02:39] <jahshua--> please
[02:39] <jahshua--> sudo apt-get install update ?

[02:40] <foot> && won't wait until update is finished
[02:40] <MarcN> foot: why not?
[02:40] <cvt|gnuyear> Toma-, i'm installing transcode now. couldn't find qxinewidget yet
[02:41] <foot> && runs em simultaneously
[02:41] <jahshua--> MarcN: how often is it recommended to run those two commands
[02:41] <MarcN> foot: yes it does.  && checks the status of the frist.
[02:41] <jahshua--> ahhh too late hehe
[02:41] <MarcN> foot: you are wrong.
[02:41] <Toma-> cvt|gnuyear: its inside the qdvdauthor settings part
[02:41] <foot> dammit
[02:41] <jahshua--> i did em one by one
[02:41] <foot> foiled again.
[02:41] <copyoulater> is it true that ubuntu is for people that don't know how to use debian?
[02:41] <MarcN> foot: you are thinking;   sudo apt-get update & ; sudo apt-get upgrade
[02:41] <kemik> copyoulater:  funny ;)
[02:41] <fortyoz> copyoulater, its debian for the desktop.
[02:41] <cafuego> copyoulater: it's true that trolling isn't appreciated here.
[02:42] <BeOS_MrX> hey I have problems with my sound, there is no one on mandriva right now who know how to help properly, wondering if its something ubuntu users could try. i am using kde and manriva 2006
[02:42] <fortyoz> debian lacks a lot of the addons ubuntu has
[02:42] <foot> gotcha.  i didnt know that marcN :/
[02:42] <copyoulater> oh is debian supposed to be installed on palmpilots normally or something?
[02:42] <fortyoz> i use debian on my servers ubuntu on desktops
[02:42] <cvt|gnuyear> Toma-, yes it is set on qxinewidget
[02:42] <Toma-> cvt|gnuyear: the qdvdauthor webpage has a few helpful howtos >>> http://qdvdauthor.sourceforge.net/
[02:42] <bobby> how does one get the extra mplayer codecs for ubuntu?
[02:42] <PuMpErNiCkEl> hm
[02:42] <Toma-> cvt|gnuyear: cool. just add movie then ;D and make a menu
[02:42] <joey222> guys have a look ere: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/1590596277/qid=1136511695/sr=2-1/ref=sr_2_3_1/202-1163722-0864614
[02:42] <bobby> is there a repo for it ...or does it have to be compiled in?
[02:42] <copyoulater> i heard mandrake is better than ubuntu
[02:43] <fortyoz> copyoulater, try them both
[02:43] <kemik> !tell bobby about restricted
[02:43] <jahshua--> how often is it recommended to run those two commands
[02:43] <cafuego> !troll
[02:43] <ubotu> cafuego: I give up, what is it?
[02:43] <fortyoz> and decide.
[02:43] <joey222> ubuntu book coming in March
[02:43] <PuMpErNiCkEl> copyoulater: ask in #mandrake
[02:43] <bobby> copyoulater, you heard wrong....long time user of both and ubuntu beats mdk any day :P
[02:43] <cvt|gnuyear> Toma-, i'll get to reading and give it my best. that gives me a new direction. thx
[02:43] <Toma-> copyoulater: trolls belong under bridges. not in chat rooms :D
[02:43] <Knorrie> copyoulater: stop that
[02:43] <Toma-> cvt|gnuyear: no problem :)
[02:43] <copyoulater> what is troll
[02:43] <athlon> in konqueror, pressing ctrl-l to switch focus to address bar also clears it. How do I change that so it will keep the existing address ?
[02:43] <bobby> !FreeFormats
[02:43] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, freeformats is There are a large number of Free Formats which are preferred over patent and copyright encumbered formats. They are listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeFormats
[02:43] <PuMpErNiCkEl> copyoulater: You, right now. :)
[02:43] <kemik> dont feed the troll
[02:43] <copyoulater> ok
[02:43] <jahshua--> how often is it recommended to run those two commands??
[02:44] <copyoulater> why do people still use fedora and especially why do people still use rpms shudder
[02:44] <kemik> bobby:  you want the restricted formats ;)
[02:44] <Toma-> copyoulater: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll
[02:44] <Toma-> copyoulater: i use rpms. in a debian system :O
[02:44] <cafuego> jahshua--: update-daemon will automagically run that every morning and tell you if updates are available.
[02:44] <bobby> kemik, I know...dling it now, just checking out which ones have free equivs :d
[02:44] <bobby> :d
[02:44] <copyoulater> rpms are hideous
[02:44] <bobby> RPM is uber oldschool
[02:44] <kemik> aight ;)
[02:44] <copyoulater> automagically is such a great word
[02:44] <bobby> no one should use it :|
[02:45] <BeOS_MrX> rpms are easy, they are like .pkg for beos except rmps aren't as good
[02:45] <Toma-> copyoulater: thats your opinion. opinions are no help in chatrooms, imho.
[02:45] <BeOS_MrX> its linux's try at an 'easy installer'
[02:45] <ethan> Hi. Why would XSANE not that an recognize an (admittedly quite old) scanner that is supported and has the backend supposedly loaded?
[02:45] <navarone> lol Toma-
[02:45] <Toma-> BeOS_MrX: whens the last time a beos update came out? :D
[02:45] <jahshua--> do i have to reboot after updating and upgrading  ?
[02:45] <PuMpErNiCkEl> jahshua--: Only if it tells you to.
[02:45] <kemik> jahshua--:  generally no, depends on what you upgraded/updated
[02:45] <copyoulater> i like ubuntu because it is so automagic
[02:45] <CanYouHelpMePlz> anyone here run linux on ipod nano?
[02:46] <Knorrie> jahshua--: only if your kernel gets upgraded
[02:46] <BeOS_MrX> Toma-: actually I just ordered yellowtab.com zeta and, an update came last month
[02:46] <jahshua--> and how is the kernel upgraded?
[02:46] <jahshua--> i have been wondering that
[02:46] <Toma-> ahh i tried zeta. it was pretty sxc.
[02:47] <PuMpErNiCkEl> jahshua--: Through apt-get... it downloads a new one, adds the entry to grub, yadda yadda yadda and next time you reboot, it defaults to the new one.
[02:47] <jahshua--> ok
[02:47] <jahshua--> so how do i know when to upgrade the kernel
[02:47] <Kindred> automagic again
[02:47] <PuMpErNiCkEl> jahshua--: If it shows up in your list of updates. :)
[02:47] <navarone> jahshua--, and you can uninstall older kernels as well to free up space...and entries are removed from grub menu as well
[02:47] <jahshua--> ahh cool
[02:48] <jahshua--> ok thanks everyone
[02:49] <Toma-> BeOS_MrX: so what brings you to ubuntu? :)
[02:49] <BeOS_MrX> its cool because its trying to make linux work for people who use beos and windows and mac
[02:49] <BeOS_MrX> things that mac sense and you can figure out without reading a manual
[02:50] <amilia> hello
[02:50] <Toma-> i see
[02:50] <amilia> i need help
[02:50] <fortyoz> heh i remember using beos on my old powermac
[02:50] <navarone> hello amilia
[02:50] <fortyoz> when i was like 13 :P
[02:50] <amilia> im a newbie
[02:50] <jahshua--> arent we all
[02:50] <jahshua--> hehe
[02:50] <navarone> amilia...that's okay...we don't bite...much...lol
[02:50] <amilia> hehe
[02:50] <Toma-> i think BeOS is the BEST platform for audio production. if i had a recording studio, id seriously consider beos over Mac's
[02:51] <fortyoz> Toma-, .. there aren't any decent apps though
[02:51] <amilia> i want to load my mp3s
[02:51] <Toma-> fortyoz: oh yes there is
[02:51] <amilia> im keeping my winxp
[02:51] <SweetestSavage> Anyone know of any desktop recording software? Something that records the desktop (IE, something like Fraps (http://www.fraps.com/)) for linux?
[02:51] <amilia> i mean how to mount my hda
[02:51] <Alvarock> Hello everybody
[02:52] <BeOS_MrX> Toma-: , except its only good in principle
[02:52] <ethan>  Can someone help me figure out why XSANE is not finding a scanner?
[02:52] <fortyoz> amilia, screwdriver and a saddle
[02:52] <Toma-> BeOS_MrX: how so?
[02:52] <BeOS_MrX> not practise, because all the 'useable' apps are either expensive things for single purpose or abandonware that you will never get the full version because its a gay demo
[02:53] <bimberi> SweetestSavage: istanbul (i've not used it though)
[02:53] <SweetestSavage> bimberi, thank you
[02:53] <Toma-> BeOS_MrX: you can port stuff to beos relatively easily tho, iirc
[02:53] <CanYouHelpMePlz> can somone help me with a printer problem?
[02:53] <bimberi> SweetestSavage: np :)
[02:53] <foot> ethan, maybe.  what kind of scanner
[02:53] <BeOS_MrX> like tunetracker, its really good example on what beos can do, but its very limited users, you know what I mean ?
[02:54] <ethan> UMAX Powerlook II
[02:54] <BeOS_MrX> i mean, an app that makes 'sense' like that editing thing, the opensource one would be killer if on beos
[02:54] <Toma-> yeh
[02:55] <BeOS_MrX> except, you try and go on bebits.com and get a sound editor that's gonna cut some tracks up, well you're gonna be dissapointed
[02:55] <LemLapUbuntu> BeOs is an awesome os. just wan't ver successful
[02:55] <MarcN> foot: I'm back.  The nice thing about && is it only does the next command if the first one succeeded.  For example I want to create an iso from a directory and then delete the directory, but only if creating the iso worked.  So, I use mkisof -ofoo.iso somedir && rm -rf somedir   Nice and safe.
[02:55] <LemLapUbuntu> because it came befoer the whole linux puxh
[02:56] <foot> ethan, you seen this: http://www.sane-project.org/sane-supported-devices.html
[02:56] <BeOS_MrX> not only are you not going to find one that works or the link is working, but if it does actually do half-assed thing even close it will again be demoware
[02:56] <BeOS_MrX> and, ofcourse the link wont work and you'll never find it
[02:56] <ethan> Yes, it is supported.
[02:57] <user__> Navarone, you still here?
[02:57] <foot> or, ethan. more specifically: http://www.sane-project.org/man/sane-umax.5.html
[02:57] <foot> MarcN, thanks, i didnt know that
[02:57] <MarcN> foot: you learn stuff after 20 years of hacking ;-)
[02:58] <foot> or, quickly in IRC :)
[02:59] <BeOS_MrX> but, good thien Toma- , I got zeta
[02:59] <BeOS_MrX> i mean, don't have it right now but i will be getting it in the mail this week. comes bundled with everything cool i want , that normal beos will never get
[02:59] <Toma-> BeOS_MrX: i only tried the beta :D (zeta beta!:O)
[03:00] <BeOS_MrX> hmm well i got this funny thing, buys RC1 with v1.0 upgrade CD, then go update to 1.1 :// kindof funky but I get cheaper to buy :/
[03:00] <nics__> also command1 || command2 will only execute command2 if command1 fails
[03:01] <nics__> && is AND, || is OR
[03:01] <Toma-> weird
[03:01] <BeOS_MrX> but you know if I would of known about Kubuntu it would be on this comp instead of mandriva right now
[03:01] <Toma-> thanks for that nics__
[03:02] <nics__> :-) nice to be able to answer one
[03:02] <BeOS_MrX> the ubuntu is something linux was without for far too long!
[03:02] <Toma-> BeOS_MrX: its all the same ...sort of.
[03:03] <ethan> Foot: I don't understand where the sane-umax library is. Synaptic Packet Manager doesn't find it.
[03:03] <S> little problem again.... when i type "./configure --with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3" i have: "checking correct functioning of Qt installation... failure"
[03:03] <cafuego> ethan: in /etc/sane.d/ probably.
[03:04] <SweetestSavage> bimberi, hmm.. it works and all.. but it doesnt seem to work for applications. Is there anything else?
[03:04] <SweetestSavage> bimberi, or perhaps you know of a good webcam recording software?
[03:04] <meepy> How do I get a trashcan on the desktop? :P I can't to see to have  working on you can right click on and emtpy it? Thanks
[03:04] <Toma-> SweetestSavage: xawtv
[03:05] <SweetestSavage> Toma-, thanks I'll have a look
[03:05] <ethan> Sorry for being an idiot, but is that /etc folder on my hd already?
[03:05] <SweetestSavage> Toma-, that's for webcams?
[03:06] <Toma-> SweetestSavage: its for video devices. itll work with a webcam
[03:06] <Toma-> ethan: yes
[03:06] <SweetestSavage> Toma-, okay, thank you
[03:06] <Kindred> meepy, through the configuration editor - Applications - System Tools - Configuration Editor
[03:06] <nics__> meepy gconf, apps->nautilus->desktop there are checkboxes
[03:07] <ethan> Found the document umax.conf. Do I copy and paste that into terminal?
[03:07] <khermans> Anyone know what the maximum number of players in a hockey penalty box is?  I am arguing with someone that it is 3!
[03:07] <Kindred> Still haven't figured out how to get my win partition off the desktop though.
[03:07] <Linuturk> can anyone seed the dapper amd 64 live torrent please?
[03:08] <meepy> Thanks!
[03:08] <meepy> Never knew about that
[03:08] <meepy> GOing to play in there >:)
[03:09] <Linfanguin> is there any scripts for ryhtmbox to show album cover or stuff like that
[03:10] <ethan> The only things in the sane.d folder are text documents...
[03:11] <PuMpErNiCkEl> khermans: My sister says it's two.
[03:12] <ethan> None are sane-umax or are called umax library or anything.
[03:12] <bimberi> SweetestSavage: sorry, i only know of istanbul :/
[03:13] <soci0path> penalty box Q.. you can have as many inthe box as have received penalties, but youare only penalised 2 people off max
[03:13] <nics__> Kindred - same place in gconf, uncheck Volumes Visible
[03:13] <SweetestSavage> Question - My webcam is no longer being detected, yet it worked fine yesterday. Any ideas?
[03:14] <Kindred> nics__, yeah but that does usb drives, cd's etc, I want those
[03:14] <nics__> ahhh oh well :-)
[03:14] <alphy> I'm trying to burn an audio disk and I can't get any files to show up as added.  I'm using Serpentine.
[03:15] <Kindred> nics_ yeah I think I can put up with it if I must :P
[03:15] <Toran> How can I play DRM-protected WMA files in ubuntu?
[03:15] <blueandwhiteg3> How can I determine the status of OpenGL on my Ubuntu system?
[03:16] <nics__> intrigued now as to how nautilus decides what to show
[03:16] <Toran> Better yet, how can I strip out the WMA so I can transfer it to my portable, which doesn't support DRM?
[03:16] <blueandwhiteg3> Toran: I don't think there is any legal way in the countries with DMCA-like laws...
[03:16] <UnknownPg> blueandwhite do you want to know like the graphics and such?
[03:16] <Linfanguin> where can i download rythmbox themes?
[03:16] <Toran> I live on an island.
[03:16] <Toran> My own island.
[03:16] <sampan> lol toran
[03:16] <blueandwhiteg3> Toran: Can I come and visit?
[03:16] <alphy> I need a good audio cd burning program,  any ideas?
[03:16] <CanYouHelpMePlz> Toran: better to say, i live on a boat in international water.
[03:16] <Toran> If you tell me how to strip DRM out of WMA files ;-)
[03:16] <Kindred> blueandwhiteg3: glxinfo, I think
[03:16] <CanYouHelpMePlz> Toran: convert it to mp3
[03:16] <Toran> alphy: k3b
[03:17] <cosmo_> can some one tell me why im getting this eror root@ubuntu:/home/cosmo# ./ati.run
[03:17] <cosmo_> -bash: ./ati-driver-installer-8.20.8-i386.run: Permission denied
[03:17] <alphy> toran, where do I get that?
[03:17] <CanYouHelpMePlz> cosmo_: chmox +x to the file
[03:17] <BeOS_MrX> new app just release: kommunism for kubuntu. plays protected wma and wmv9 formats
[03:17] <Toran> alphy: apt-get install k3b
[03:17] <UnknownPg> cosmo
[03:17] <PuMpErNiCkEl> cosmo_: run 'chmod +x' on the .run file
[03:17] <UnknownPg> you can su
[03:17] <Toran> CanYouHelpMePlz: Hmm, can I convert it to a .wav?
[03:17] <UnknownPg> and then try
[03:17] <cosmo_> thanks
[03:17] <blueandwhiteg3> Toran: You're going to be in for a good time with DRM. It's always a bit of a mess...
[03:17] <CanYouHelpMePlz> Toran: sure
[03:18] <Toran> With what prograM?
[03:18] <UnknownPg> blueandwhite if you are using a ati driver then you can do fglrxinfo
[03:18] <CanYouHelpMePlz> Toran: uhh sudo apt-cache search audio convert
[03:18] <nics__> Kindred: change the fstab entry and don't mount them in /media, seems to work for me
[03:18] <cosmo_> root@ubuntu:/home/cosmo# chmox +x ./ati.run
[03:18] <cosmo_> -bash: chmox: command not found
[03:18] <blueandwhiteg3> Toran: One easy route is to play it under another compatible arrangement and capture the audio samples.
[03:19] <ethan> Any thoughts on where to find the sane-umax library?
[03:19] <CanYouHelpMePlz> cosmo_: sudo chmod 777 ati-driver-installer-8.20.8-i386.run
[03:19] <Kindred> nics__ hm, I mounted it in /mnt and it was still there, maybe i'll try somewhere else.. or something, thanks though
[03:19] <blueandwhiteg3> UnknownPg: glxinfo does not give anything but the name of the display
[03:20] <foot> ethan, try 'locate umax'
[03:20] <foot> you may already have it
[03:20] <blueandwhiteg3> UnknownPg: I have an Intel GMA 900... which should in theory support OpenGL and XvMC
[03:20] <UnknownPg> yea
[03:20] <nics__> Kindred: did you reboot? just did that on mine I get my D drive on desktop but not C which is mounted in /mnt, I am using Dapper Drake though, not sure if that makes a difference
[03:20] <foot> if its usb, usbview might help you check if its plugged in, or 'cat /proc/usb'
[03:20] <blueandwhiteg3> I have even reviewed the source code to verify XvMC support.
[03:21] <bimberi> ethan: do a contents search on http://packages.ubuntu.com
[03:21] <Kindred> yeah sure did, I might have another go later, it's not a huge issue I just like to complain about it
[03:21] <LightShear> hey everyone I have a server question
[03:21] <nics__> lol I know the feeling, the problem I start to fixate on it :-)
[03:22] <blueandwhiteg3> oooops, client died
[03:22] <cosmo_>  did this install it or what did it do cosmo_: sudo chmod 777 ati-driver-installer-8.20.8-i386.run
[03:22] <blueandwhiteg3> Ultimately, I am trying to accelerate VLC because I can only get x11 video output working, and I know OpenGL would allow me to hand off the colorspace (YUV->RGB) conversion to the GPU.
[03:23] <LightShear> not sure how to word it, actually, but I installed server without being connected to the net. How do I get it to connect now?
[03:23] <LightShear> or cant it?
[03:23] <cosmo_> it dosent say anything after i do this
[03:23] <blueandwhiteg3> I believe that "XVideo extension video output" under VLC would even enable XvMC, among other things, to hand off the MPEG motion compensation to the GPU.
[03:23] <madmax> does anybody use mplayer?
[03:23] <blueandwhiteg3> However, I am not sure how to even determine the status of OpenGL under Ubuntu at the moment!
[03:24] <BeOS_MrX> sound in opera won't work HELP
[03:24] <ethan> Alright, it's in usr/lib/sane... so why is't SANE finding the scanner?
[03:25] <cosmo_> thanks for the help it works
[03:25] <cosmo_> sorry for stupid questions
[03:25] <alphy> why is k3b telling me .mp3 is an unsupported format?
[03:25] <psusi> because it is
[03:25] <alphy> psusi, you talking to me?
[03:26] <psusi> alphy, yea
[03:26] <alphy> psusi, so how do I burn mp3s as an audio disk?
[03:26] <sampan> !info k3b-mp3
[03:26] <ubotu> k3b-mp3: (The KDE cd burning application library - MP3 decoder), section universe/libs, is optional. Version: 0.12.2-0ubuntu2 (breezy), Packaged size: 30 kB, Installed size: 92 kB
[03:26] <psusi> convert them to wav
[03:26] <sampan> alphy, install that k3b-mp3 package in universe?
[03:27] <BeOS_MrX> sound in opera won't work HELP
[03:27] <alphy> sampan, no, let me try that
[03:27] <ethan> It's not a USB connection, it's this ridiculous old 25-pin I-forget-what-they're called
[03:27] <sampan> i haven't burned an mp3 disk in k3b yet, but i did install that package a while back ... ymmv
[03:28] <jason_> hey gang, i'm new to linux, setup ubuntu a couple days ago, installed apache, mysql, php, and wordpress, and had everything up and running fine last night, but after i restarted ubuntu this morning and went to my wordpress site it was unable to connect to the db, i'm guessing mysql isn't set to autostart with bootup, and the directions on mysql's site didn't work for me, any help?
[03:29] <Kindred> jason_, check System - Administration - Services
[03:30] <criminal> hey ppl, anyone here that can advise me on a good p2p prog and how to install it
[03:30] <BeOS_MrX> criminal: - I use limewire and it works great on linux
[03:30] <BeOS_MrX> except that the playing music on it doesnt work with me
[03:31] <BeOS_MrX> but,its main focus is to download
[03:31] <criminal> i know
[03:31] <criminal> i used limewire on windows alor
[03:31] <criminal> *alot
[03:31] <criminal> but i can't get it to work on ubuntu
[03:31] <criminal> i converted the file from .rpm to .deb using alien, installed and it still doesn't work
[03:32] <Kindred> !limewire
[03:32] <ubotu> well, limewire is first you need !java, then download the http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and unpack it. Then just run the runLime.sh file. Voila.
[03:32] <sampan> Voila!
[03:33] <jason_> kindred, i'm running xfce cause i was having way too many stability problems with gnome, i don't see administration under system, or services
[03:33] <criminal> java or java runtime ??
[03:33] <mojo56> can anyone tell me how to find out what I need to put into my /etc/modules file so that the sound module boots up properly so I can turn off hotplug?
[03:33] <Kindred> jason_, ah ok
[03:34] <jason_> i found system monitor, and i shows mysqld and mysqld_safe sleeping
[03:35] <LemLapUbuntu> ok got a new problem
[03:35] <LemLapUbuntu> seems to have hung
[03:35] <LemLapUbuntu> setting up libsrvg2-common
[03:35] <cyphase> has anyone used http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_5.10 to set up a server?
[03:35] <UbuntuRob> What is the best linux backup Utility???
[03:36] <mojo56> cyphase, why not use Nubuntu?
[03:36] <ethan> So any ideas on how to help sane find my scanner?
[03:36] <mwe> UbuntuRob: tar, probably
[03:36] <MasterTsunami> why would you use nubuntu :/
[03:36] <UbuntuRob> tar?
[03:36] <cyphase> mojo56, nUbuntu is a network admin tool
[03:37] <Neurosis> any programs out there so i can get into my cable modem settings via linux?
[03:37] <cyphase> to detect breaches and stuff
[03:37] <mwe> UbuntuRob: yes.
[03:37] <mojo56> oops, I misunderstoon that :)
[03:37] <cyphase> "nUbuntu is a collection of network and server security testing tools, piled on top of the existing Ubuntu system. While aimed to be mainly a security testing platform, nUbuntu also operates as a desktop enviroment for the advanced linux user."
[03:37] <cyphase> oh
[03:37] <UbuntuRob> ok. i'll check it out. Thanks!!
[03:37] <MasterTsunami> i mean why did they make nubuntu? what makes ubuntu better to make a security live cd platform than slax or knoppix :/
[03:38] <cyphase> so has anyone used http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect_setup_ubuntu_5.10 ?
[03:38] <Kindred> ethan, what is your scanner? ..
[03:38] <jason_> so, wordpress worked fine lastnight connecting to my blog db in mysql, but after i restarted it longer can connect, I thought mysql wasn't set to autostart but mysqld and mysqld_safe are in my process list, i'm not sure what to do now
[03:39] <mwe> cyphase: I would strongly recommend not to use the same alias for two ip addresses
[03:39] <jason_> no longer*
[03:39] <mwe> cyphase: the dude suggests that
[03:39] <pramz> jason_: can you connect to the MySQL Server using the blog's credentials ?
[03:39] <ethan> UMAX PowerLook II. Library is there.
[03:40] <cyphase> mwe, i know
[03:40] <mwe> cyphase: also why would he set a root password
[03:40] <cyphase> but other then that..
[03:40] <GenneX> is there a way to use sudo apt-get to install a p2p program ??
[03:40] <mwe> cyphase: I don't like that either in ubuntu
[03:40] <jason_> i can try, im just not sure how to do that at the command line
[03:40] <mwe> cyphase: just use sudo -i to get a root prompt
[03:40] <cyphase> mwe, i know :)
[03:40] <cyphase> but i mean in general
[03:40] <pramz> jason_: mysql -u <username> <database> -p
[03:40] <pramz> that will bring up a password prompt
[03:41] <mojo56> anyone?  enabling sound in /etc/modules?
[03:41] <pramz> so for example : mysql -u wpuser wpdb -p
[03:41] <jason_> k, thanks, lemme try that now
[03:41] <Adross> there is something wrong with my samba install. Firstly, it doesn't start up at boot up, and now, when i try to start it up manually via '/etc/init.d/samba start' i get '/usr/share/samba/panic-action: line 48: mail: command not found

[03:43] <jason_> "Error 1045: Access denied for user: 'wordpress@localhost' (Using password: YES)"
[03:43] <mwe> cyphase: no. I just went over it quickly
[03:43] <jason_> oh no, i guess that's why, lemme use sudo =\
[03:44] <Adross> pramz: uh...that was a test...you passed...
[03:44] <cyphase> ah
[03:44] <Adross> pramz: man i feel dumb, thanks heaps

[03:45] <heatxsink> anyone in here have a saa7134 card?
[03:45] <heatxsink> tv card*
[03:45] <mwe> cyphase: I don't like instructions that don't explain what they do. also he seems to forget the very important step of installing mysql, to set the root password. it seems like he just expects it to be set already after apt-get install mysql-server
[03:45] <pixelfairy> `Suggests' field, invalid package name `openoffic@': character `@' not allowed - only letters, digits and -+._ allowed
[03:45] <chris_> I have an ati radeon 9250 card which was previously recognized on ubuntu 64 bit edition now on regular i386 install it will not recognize card. Can someone help
[03:45] <pixelfairy> anyone else get that?
[03:46] <jason_> ok, but i just tried it and this time it wouldn't accept my password, i'm gonna log into mysql as root and change my wordpress user password
[03:46] <cyphase> reiserfs in breezy supports quota, right?
[03:46] <cyphase> chris_, i've tried that card
[03:46] <mwe> cyphase: yes
[03:46] <cyphase> it's not working
[03:46] <chris_> no it's not
[03:46] <chris_> it did in the 64 bit version of ubuntu though
[03:47] <cyphase> hmm
[03:47] <mojo56> fine... anyone know how I can find out which module ubuntu loaded for my sound?
[03:47] <mwe> mojo56: lsmod
[03:47] <mwe> mojo56: or lsmod|grep snd
[03:48] <mojo56> many thanks :) now to sort through all of thaty
[03:48] <cafuego> how peculair
[03:49] <mojo56> does snd_intel8x0 seems like the one that I need to add to /etc/modules?
[03:49] <jason_> well, now that's weird...
[03:50] <GenneX> anyone here that can awnser a few questions for me about ubuntu installation and removing of packages
[03:50] <jason_> i reset the password to the same thing it was before, then i entered "flush privileges;" and reloaded my blog and it came right up
[03:50] <LoneWolf071> what's the banner file name for SSHD?
[03:50] <LoneWolf071> not the one when you connect, but when you login
[03:50] <jason_> what does flush privileges do magically, and would i have to do this all the time now after restarting
[03:51] <aTypical> Hello
[03:51] <mwe> jason_: you should not have to do it each time you start
[03:52] <jason_> ok, i'm going to reboot and see if wordpress can connect now without any command intervention, thanks for your help, you guys are great
[03:52] <LoneWolf071> what's the banner file name for SSHD, not the one when you connect, but when you login
[03:53] <mwe> LoneWolf071: you just asked that
[03:53] <chris_> anyone know where cyphase went off to or is he a real person?
[03:53] <LoneWolf071> just reasking it for those who just joined or were away
[03:54] <mwe> LoneWolf071: isn't it the shell that's responsible for what you're looking for?
[03:55] <heatxsink> where would I go to find possible kernel parameters to pass to the kernel via grub?
[03:55] <bshumate> actually it is login(1) that is responsible, if it's /etc/motd which is being referred to...
[03:55] <aTypical> heatxsink, I've found it's not so easy to find them.  Google is fairly good, though.
[03:56] <LoneWolf071> mwe, ??? well yes, but there's a blurb usually displayed about who loged in and when when you login, and iwould like the change that to a warning...
[03:56] <mwe> heatxsink: google, forums. what do you need?
[03:56] <cyphase> chris_, i'm not a bot :)
[03:56] <heatxsink> I think a kernel module is not getting an irq or something
[03:56] <cyphase> although i'm working on one :P
[03:56] <heatxsink> I think a kernel module is not getting an irq or something, so i think I need to pass noirq to the kernel
[03:57] <cyphase> oh, he left
[03:57] <GenneX> ok who has a p2p program instaalled ??
[03:57] <mwe> LoneWolf071: well I don't know. I would read the documentation. that's a good idea anyway if you intend to run a server
[03:58] <Chris_Tucker> dozens of them GenneX
[03:58] <GenneX> can you maby give me some help please
[03:58] <mwe> !helpme
[03:58] <ubotu> If you don't actually ask a question, we can not actually help you.
[03:59] <BeOS_MrX> i can't save this file, no write permissions, what do i need to 'tweak' to save it right now. i use Kwrite
[04:00] <GenneX> which would would be the most suitable to install, for your typical windows user, seeing that I only recently switched from windows to linux
[04:00] <poningru> GenneX: whats wrong?
[04:00] <poningru> as in for what p2p purpose?
[04:01] <poningru> there are many networks
[04:01] <poningru> limewire, torrent, etc.
[04:01] <mwe> GenneX: which what would be most suitable? distro?
[04:01] <GenneX> ok
[04:01] <poningru> which network do you use?
[04:01] <GenneX> distro = ubuntu
[04:01] <poningru> there are application for each of them
[04:01] <GenneX> i normally used limewire with windows
[04:02] <GenneX> went downloaded the .rpm, converted it to .deb with alien
[04:02] <mwe> GenneX: limewire. is that gnutella?
[04:02] <heatxsink> mwe:  so basically I have this tvcard that wants IRQ 19
[04:02] <poningru> GenneX: use gnutella
[04:02] <heatxsink> and for some reason it keeps getting disabled
[04:02] <GenneX> installed using sudo, but it still doesn't work. i think so mwe
[04:02] <bimberi> !limewire
[04:02] <ubotu> rumour has it, limewire is first you need !java, then download the http://www.limewire.com/LimeWireSoftOther and unpack it. Then just run the runLime.sh file. Voila.
[04:02] <benplaut> how do i make a module be loaded at boot?
[04:03] <poningru> GenneX: you dont need to do that
[04:03] <GenneX> ?
[04:03] <mwe> benplaut: put the name in /etc/modutils/
[04:03] <mwe> benplaut: err
[04:03] <bimberi> benplaut: put it in /etc/modules
[04:03] <mwe> benplaut: /etc/modules
[04:03] <benplaut> thanks
[04:03] <mwe> benplaut: typo, sorry
[04:04] <poningru> GenneX: you can install mldonkey
[04:04] <jouston> Moring
[04:04] <GenneX> poningru: can that be done using sudo apt-get ?
[04:04] <poningru> GenneX: yes
[04:05] <benplaut> anyone know of a good, feature-full non mode text editor with similar commands, etc to nano/pico?
[04:05] <sagarp> i installed unreal 2004, and the fx are weird...polygons randomly disappear and stuff...does any one know how i can fix it? i'm using the latest nvidia drivers
[04:05] <mwe> heatxsink: I would google solving irq conflicts in linux. you can pass some parameters at boot bot I don't remember them right now. I haven't had the need in 5 years or so
[04:05] <GenneX> poningru: E: Invalid operation mldonkey
[04:05] <poningru> GenneX:  thats cause its mldonkey-gui

[04:15] <polpak> Malachi, makes the window 'roll up' like window blinds
[04:15] <mwe> Malachi: in what context?
[04:16] <Linfanguin> how can i make vlc my default stream player when i use firefox?
[04:16] <Linfanguin> i hate mplayer it sucks
[04:16] <Malachi> polpak: Thanks!
[04:16] <polpak> Anyone know how to configure a CRT port on a laptop?
[04:16] <tyler> whats the diffrence between tar.gz files and tar.bz2 files?
[04:16] <Malachi> mwe: I've got it.

[04:16] <polpak> I can't get anthing to display when I plug it in
[04:17] <redhook> tyler: .bz2 uses a better compression scheme
[04:17] <poningru> GenneX: hmm not sure
[04:17] <poningru> GenneX: is it not working?
[04:17] <redhook> polpak: plug the monitor in and reboot
[04:17] <mwe> polpak: you mean like a second display?
[04:17] <GenneX> poningru: it opened, but it doesn't connect
[04:18] <poningru> GenneX: unfortunately I cant use any p2p apps or my internet connection will go away, so I cant try to figure this out
[04:18] <poningru> GenneX: but I am looking for a tutorial on mldonkey
[04:18] <mwe> redhook: reboot? can't you just log out of X and back in?
[04:18] <redhook> mwe: some laptops will not enable the external monitor port unless a monitor is detected at boot
[04:19] <mwe> redhook: I see.
[04:19] <polpak> mwe, redhook, hrm.. I'm gonna try the i810switch package. Otherwise I'll just try restarting X
[04:19] <GenneX> poningru: cool, also looking myself
[04:20] <redhook> polpak: are you trying to extend the desktop to it or use it as the primary display?
[04:21] <polpak> redhook, I'm trying to mirror the display
[04:21] <redhook> polpak: nvidia go or radeon mobility?
[04:21] <polpak> redhook, nope
[04:21] <redhook> ohh, i810 duh
[04:22] <redhook> never used one of those
[04:22] <redhook> you may have to setup xinerama
[04:22] <polpak> redhook, what does that do?
[04:23] <redhook> multihead thing for x11
[04:23] <redhook> http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/Xinerama-HOWTO.html
[04:24] <redhook> the ati drivers handle all that for my mobility 9200
[04:26] <poningru> GenneX: I couldnt find much, try #mldonkey

[04:32] <MageUnion> hi all
[04:33] <MageUnion> can anyone teach me any tricks with ubuntu
[04:33] <Hericus> Tricks?
[04:33] <MageUnion> i learned how to change root pass today
[04:33] <cvt|gnuyear> do i format a dvd before burning?
[04:33] <MageUnion> i dont
[04:33] <MageUnion> yup tricks/tips
[04:33] <cvt|gnuyear> i'm having probs
[04:33] <Toran> Ok, any idea on how to PLAY drm wma files on ubuntu?
[04:34] <MageUnion> i think u need an extension
[04:34] <MageUnion> i dont know what kind tho
[04:34] <MageUnion> its in synaptic somewhere that would be my first guess
[04:36] <poningru> Toran: that is impossilbe to do
[04:36] <Toran> that sucks
[04:36] <poningru> impossible*
[04:36] <poningru> Toran: indeed
[04:36] <poningru> you can play normal wma
[04:36] <poningru> !restricted
[04:36] <ubotu> methinks restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed here have been replaced by !FreeFormats
[04:37] <Toran> Bah, My library provides free audio books
[04:37] <Toran> but they are DRM protected wmas
[04:38] <nosklo> if they are free audio books they should be unprotected ogg files
[04:38] <poningru> Toran: tell them to switch
[04:38] <poningru> !freeformats
[04:38] <ubotu> from memory, freeformats is There are a large number of Free Formats which are preferred over patent and copyright encumbered formats. They are listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeFormats
[04:38] <psusi> they aren't free is the point
[04:38] <Toran> They outsource the service to a much larger company
[04:38] <poningru> Toran: tell them to outsorce it to me
[04:38] <Toran> Me telling this place to switch would do NOTHING.
[04:38] <Toran> Hehe
[04:38] <psusi> the books on tape are copyright... so they provide them electronically as DRM'd wma
[04:39] <Toran> I'd prefer DRM'd AAC
[04:39] <Toran> Then I could play them on my iPod, at least
[04:39] <FX|Gamer> Hey can anyone else get the TeamSpeak program? I'm always getting a 404 error
[04:39] <psusi> I'd like to shove DRM up the person's ass who hands it to me

[04:45] <FX|Gamer> but I can't run firefox cause it locks up so bad.
[04:45] <FX|Gamer> :(
[04:45] <poningru> james_: did you try the system->preferences->screen resolution
[04:45] <MageUnion> try that james
[04:45] <poningru> MageUnion: this is not #debian
[04:45] <james_> yes it only has the one resolution
[04:45] <poningru> james_: what kinda vid card do you have?
[04:45] <james_> I am using my onboard video
[04:46] <james_> nvidia
[04:46] <poningru> james_: yes, do you know what the chipset is?
[04:46] <MageUnion> you shouldnt have a prob then
[04:46] <james_> It is on the k7ng2 board

[04:46] <james_> VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX - nForce GPU]  (rev a3)
[04:47] <poningru> james_: ok that should have worked
[04:47] <poningru> can you take a look at this
[04:47] <poningru> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto?highlight=%28resolution%29
[04:47] <poningru> the first solution that they give
[04:48] <poningru> running the autodetect script again works for most people
[04:48] <poningru> if you cant see that let me know
[04:48] <poningru> I will paste it for ya
[04:48] <james_> looking
[04:49] <tyler> is it possible to compile/make/etc . (installing tarballs) as user ???
[04:49] <Fujitsu> Yes
[04:49] <poningru> tyler: yes but you have to use 'sudo'
[04:50] <poningru> tyler: for example sudo make foobar
[04:50] <poningru> etc.
[04:50] <poningru> err that came out wrong buy you know what I mean
[04:50] <poningru> but*
[04:50] <james_> do I want to use framebuffer
[04:51] <MageUnion> brb
[04:51] <franky123> james_: yes
[04:52] <franky123> james_: but it wont kill you if you dont. plus if you have bad eyes the extra res wont help
[04:52] <bimberi> james_: say yes, but if X doesn't work after the reconfiguration, saying no is the first thing to try
[04:53] <poningru> james_: yes most definately you want to use framebuffer, you are on laptop right?
[04:53] <poningru> !help
[04:53] <bimberi> um, don't need sudo to make, you would for "make install" but checkinstall should be used in place of that anyway
[04:54] <poningru> bimberi: hence my explanation after

[05:07] <seth_k|lappy> those are admins
[05:07] <seth_k|lappy> you wanted to talk to one, yes?
[05:07] <zoka> hi ppl. I have small partition 4GB where is ubuntu and after the install only 20% left
[05:07] <zoka> how to make more space
[05:07] <dabaR> I have two processes that are ran as root, that are both the "mount" command. I get their process numbers from "ps", but using "kill -9" as root does not kill the processes. Is there anything else I can do?
[05:07] <Kr0ntab> also   /j #freenode will take you to a channel that might be able to lend you a hand with your problem
[05:07] <zoka> is there install source on the disk that can be removed
[05:07] <djstillman> seth_k|lappy - yes, but how do I message them with just their names?
[05:07] <seth_k|lappy> djstillman, /query thePerson Hi, here is what I need blah
[05:08] <djstillman> Kr0ntab - did that, so now do I just ask the question?
[05:08] <dabaR> btw, this blocks me from really mounting my hdc (both processes are instances of trying to mount /dev/hdc)
[05:08] <psusi> dabaR, what were you trying to mount?
[05:08] <djstillman> seth_k|lappy - Ok.  Thank you.  Haven't used IRC in a while...
[05:08] <seth_k|lappy> djstillman, np
[05:08] <psusi> dabaR, check your demsg for errors
[05:09] <Das> n00b question: how do I mount my windows partion?
[05:09] <zoka> Das you have Disk util
[05:09] <ptlo> dabaR: hi dude
[05:09] <polpak> Hrm.. not working as well as I'd like
[05:09] <polpak> !resolution
[05:09] <Das> zoka were is that?
[05:09] <ubotu> resolution is, like, at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[05:09] <MageUnion-{afk}> hey guys is it possible to put linux on a cell phone
[05:09] <dabaR> atkbd.c is something that is over and over repeated in my dmesg.
[05:09] <zoka> Das System Administration Disks
[05:09] <dabaR> ptlo: hi.
[05:10] <ptlo> dabaR: why are your two mount processes hanging? do you have some i/o error on that partition?
[05:10] <MageUnion-{afk}> nm brb
[05:10] <whyameye> my dell laptop was happily supporting CPU scaling. Suddenly tonight it doesn't. What happened? How can I repair? Breezy...
[05:10] <ptlo> dabaR: dmesg l less, and then search (type '/' followed by a search string) for the partition you're trying to mount (hdXY...)
[05:10] <dabaR> ptlo: the mounted drive is a cd.
[05:10] <Das> zoka were is that?
[05:11] <psusi> dabaR, sounds like the cd is unreadable... dmesg should be full of errors
[05:11] <dabaR> can you guys join #flood for a sec?
[05:11] <psusi> use pastebin
[05:11] <dabaR> I cant now...
[05:11] <Noriega> hey
[05:11] <ptlo> dabaR: i'm on flood
[05:11] <Noriega> amarok just won't play my mp3s :(
[05:11] <zoka> top left corner of the screen, Aplications then Places and System many under System -> Administration -> Disks
[05:11] <Noriega> not xine nor gstream
[05:12] <psusi> hrm....
[05:12] <Das> zoka System > Admin > Disks dosn't exsist
[05:13] <zoka> Do you want screenshot of my env :)
[05:13] <psusi> dabaR, reboot, and try a different cd
[05:13] <dabaR> I can not think of a reason why it would not be killable, the mount processes.
[05:13] <psusi> dabaR, it isn't killable because the kernel is shitting itself
[05:13] <dabaR> No, I am not going to reboot, no way:) I know that would likely fix it.
