[11:15] <Flannel> babwe: you're going to want to change that password
[11:15] <kuma> tried to chown all the files of a directory, but in all gave an error "operation not permited". Any idea?
[11:15] <Flannel> kuma: which files are you chowning?
[11:15] <kuma> sudo chown -R paito /media/myhda4/paito/
[11:15] <babwe> flannel I will LOL
[11:16] <pavs> ok thanks for your help alot :) I will work on it later
[11:16] <Flannel> kuma: you probably want to mount it as a regular user, instead of chowning it.
[11:16] <kuma> Flannel. yes, i want that the partition to be free
[11:17] <mneptok> kuma: uname:gid
[11:17] <kuma> mneptok: I beg your pardon?
[11:17] <mneptok> kuma: sudo chown -R paito:paito /media/myhda4/paito
[11:17] <SoulChild> anyone using Lyx???
[11:18] <kuma> mneptok: oh, ok, but isn't there a way that any user can read/write/del files from that partition?
[11:18] <mneptok> kuma: chmod
[11:19] <arnaud__> SoulChild, I used it some years ago...
[11:19] <kuma> chmod all the files?
[11:19] <SoulChild> arnaud__: is it possible to see the symols while wirting
[11:19] <SoulChild> i mean if i type \sum it writes sum instead of the symbol
[11:20] <mneptok> kuma: chmod -R the mount point
[11:20] <kuma> mneptok tried the chown command you gave me, same error msg
[11:20] <vliegje20> is there any possibility to open msaccess documents under ubuntu?
[11:20] <kuma> mneptok: care to be a little more specific? i'm a newbie
[11:21] <mneptok> kuma: type "whoami" (no quotes)
[11:22] <kuma> whoami
[11:22] <mneptok> no, in the Linux terminal ;)
[11:22] <kuma> mneptok: done xD
[11:22] <kuma> mneptok: kuma
[11:22] <mneptok> kuma: so your account name is "kuma"
[11:23] <kuma> yup
[11:23] <Thehound666> hey babwe, see you're back here
[11:23] <AmaroqWolf> unop, when I logged back in, I wrote down some stuff. It was in the "notify developers" part of the error, and I had it display debugging information.
[11:23] <kuma> i'm tring to give access to my sister to her files
[11:23] <babwe> yeh trying t change me pass
[11:23] <kuma> mneptok: i'm tring to give access to my sister to her files
[11:23] <mneptok> kuma: which means trying to change ownership of files to some non-existent user account named "paito" ain't gonna work.p
[11:23] <Daemoen> does ubuntu use the alternatives binary in order to manage /etc/alternatives, if so, where is the binary stored?
[11:24] <Thehound666> I forgot my original one here lol so I just appened 666 for this net :)
[11:24] <kuma> mneptok: my sister account exist
[11:24] <Thehound666> appended*
[11:24] <babwe> nope
[11:24] <mneptok> kuma: on the Linux machine?
[11:24] <kuma> mneptok: yes, with wich command can i see all the users?
[11:24] <ivan> hi
[11:24] <mneptok> kuma: not Windows. Linux. you created an account named "paito" on the Ubuntu box?
[11:25] <kuma> mneptok: yes
[11:25] <ivan> i have a problem, can anyone help
[11:25] <Jowi> !ask | ivan
[11:25] <ubotu> ivan: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[11:25] <ivan> I've purchaced a Toshiba L30-134 laptop

[11:26] <ivan> Master, Pcm and Capture are all 100%, none of them is muted
[11:26] <cmt^^> is there any way of seeing how much down-traffic i have had using linux-dc++? Are there logs and such?
[11:26] <tezem> Where do I find the init script in ubuntu? Afaik it was /etc/inittab but since ubuntu switched to upstart that is changed, right?
[11:27] <kuma> mneptok?
[11:27] <Jowi> tezem, /etc/init.d
[11:27] <mneptok> kuma: is the drive *actually mounted* at that mount point right now?
[11:27] <imme> :|
[11:28] <imme> That's a lot of folks...
[11:28] <kuma> mneptok: yes... i can access it with no problem
[11:28] <tezem> Jowi, there are the daemons I know but I search for the first script after the kernel boot
[11:28] <tezem> I want to change the console settings
[11:29] <GreyGhost> i suppose i'll have to reinstall Ubuntu then ..
[11:29] <mneptok> kuma: thten you'll need to find someone with NTFS-fu. i know nothing of Windows.
[11:29] <Jowi> tezem, /etc/event.d i guess
[11:29] <kuma> mneptok: no, the partition is FAT32
[11:29] <mneptok> GreyGhost: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[11:29] <mneptok> kuma: same thing. i use real filesystems. ;)
[11:29] <arnaud__> SoulChild, I don't think so ... you have to abuse of the preview function from what I remember
[11:30] <GreyGhost> mneptok ,ok i'll try that ... thanks :)
[11:30] <tezem> Jowi, thx
[11:31] <kuma> mneptok: I have 3 partition, the NTFS windows one, Linux and a partition data, but when my sister uses her account she can't read/write her files, i'm trying to fix that now

[11:34] <ph8> why would xchat need fish babwe?
[11:34] <mneptok> ph8: uhhh ... that sorta lacks a certain degree of specificity ;)
[11:34] <ph8> i'm assuming you mean kde's fish and not something else
[11:34] <ph8> mneptok: webcams or fish? ;)
[11:34] <mneptok> ph8: "webcams"
[11:35] <babwe> I know ubotu but this pluging http://fish.sekure.us/ I cant get t work
[11:35] <ph8> well, generally - do they work nicely
[11:35] <kuma> I have 3 partition, the NTFS windows one, Linux and a data partition, but when my sister uses her account she can't read/write her files, i'm trying to fix that now, can somebody help me?
[11:35] <ph8> do we have any software that runs them
[11:35] <ph8> etc
[11:35] <ph8> kuma: you can't write to ntfs from linux
[11:35] <ph8> is that what you mean?
[11:35] <constant_> kuma:write files to where?
[11:35] <ph8> the support just isn't there to write to ntfs atm
[11:35] <kuma> the data partition is FAT32
[11:36] <ph8> ok
[11:36] <ph8> so you should be able to read/write nicely as long as it's mounted correctly
[11:36] <constant_> kuma make sure the umask on the FAT32 partition is correct
[11:36] <kuma> constant_: I mean she can't open them or edit them
[11:36] <kuma> constant_: the problem is pr permissions
[11:36] <kuma> *of
[11:36] <constant_> kuma: are the files she's trying to open on the FAT32 partition?
[11:37] <kuma> constant_: yes
[11:37] <kuma> constant_: I can access them fine.
[11:37] <constant_> kuma: okay then you mustve modified or created a directory as root, or with your account
[11:37] <constant_> and now you own the files/dirs and she doesnt have access rights to them
[11:37] <kuma> constant_: I'll check the owner
[11:38] <constant_> kuma: and she should have read/write permissions aswell
[11:38] <kuma> constant_: exactly
[11:39] <constant_> kuma: so chown -R *she*.*her group* /*her folder
[11:40] <ph8> presumably the best solution is to put both of you in a group
[11:40] <ph8> and chgrp the whole thing
[11:40] <ph8> with a clear owner
[11:40] <kuma> constant_:I tried sudo chown -R paito:paito /media/myhda4/paito i get an "operation not permitted" error msg
[11:40] <constant_> or that ja
[11:40] <ph8> hmm
[11:40] <constant_> are you sure the FAT32 part is RW?
[11:40] <ph8> can you show us the output of 'mount'? as root

[11:41] <kuma> constant_: yes, she can access those files fone form my account
[11:41] <kuma> *fine
[11:41] <dwi> ddddddddd
[11:41] <constant_> oh okay so its not that
[11:41] <constant_> try doing sudo -s
[11:41] <constant_> and then the chown
[11:41] <Thehound666> think I know why the fglrx drivers don't work for me and it's insane.
[11:41] <Thehound666> Proprietary crap...
[11:42] <constant_> coz its ATI...
[11:42] <Thehound666> make some open source ones
[11:42] <Thehound666> :)
[11:42] <kuma> ok
[11:42] <constant_> ATI and Linux aint a good combination
[11:42] <constant_> kuma: any luck?
[11:42] <mneptok> ATI and a brain larger than the average moth's is not a good combination.
[11:42] <kuma> onstant_: sudo -s chown -R paito:paito /media/myhda4/paito/ ???
[11:43] <kuma> constant_: sudo -s chown -R paito:paito /media/myhda4/paito/ ???
[11:43] <constant_> no, first sudo -s
[11:43] <kuma> ok
[11:43] <constant_> then ull drop into a root shell
[11:43] <Thehound666> ATI is pretty good on Windows and you don't know about the sucky Linux drivers until you switch to Linux
[11:43] <constant_> mneptok: good point
[11:44] <tezem> On my system /dev/tty[1-6]  are connected to consoles. Now I removed /etc/event.d/tty[4-6]  but the /dev/tty[4-6]  still open up. Where can I change that?
[11:44] <Thehound666> but I think I know how to finally make them work on that system
[11:44] <dwi> ///////ddrfytdfs
[11:44] <Thehound666> instead of using a VM
[11:44] <mneptok> Thehound666: the fact that ATI can't code a decent Linux driver to save their lives makes me question the quality of their efforts on Windows.
[11:44] <dwi> begjonet

[12:17] <CrakeHunter> hello! can anyone tell me, please: i am using a fakeraid nraid so far , ubuntu doesnt have support for that. now i have heard of softraid - can i run softraid in mode 0, and is it as fast as my current nraid mode 0 setup?
[12:17] <Luk0r> Erealz: that's personal opinion, but I like rhythmbox myself
[12:17] <Erealz> ok I have
[12:17] <Erealz> and I have to say
[12:17] <mneptok> CrakeHunter: just use LVM ;)
[12:17] <Erealz> it sucks

[12:17] <mojo_> okay, then I just ask: How can I remove 'launchpad' thing out of Ubuntu? I mean those 2 entries in Help menu
[12:18] <Erealz> why well , becouse when I add the feed all the past shows show up witch is messy
[12:18] <Luk0r> Erealz: so try the others, then

[12:19] <osfameron> mneptok: oh?  I've not had problems, but yeah, that could be annoying
[12:20] <Erealz> well thanks anyways

[12:22] <ardchoille> diginet: IMHO, Linux has been kicking Windows' bum since 2001 :)
[12:22] <hbaigu> assasukasse, wrong, is 'sudo ln -s /var/cache/apt/archives /home/new_dir'

[12:22] <ubotu> CrakeHunter: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[12:23] <java__> what is softmodem and hardmodem and how to know which is mine ?!!!
[12:23] <diginet> The open-source ones "radeon" not fglrx. I'm Very very surprised guys, This Beryl Stuff realy rocks!!
[12:24] <frogzoo> java__: is it external connected to the serial port?
[12:24] <java__> frogzoo : it is internal PCI modem
[12:24] <hbaigu> assasukasse, noooo wrong again , is 'sudo ln -s /home/new_dir /var/cache/apt/archives' is correct
[12:24] <CrakeHunter> is there any difference in stability between the 32 and the 64 bit  version?
[12:24] <diginet> :D :D :P Im very happy weeee!!! :P XD
[12:25] <frogzoo> java__: k, it's what's known as a 'winmodem' - whether you can get it to work entirely depends on whether you can get a linux driver for your particular modem's chipset
[12:25] <CrakeHunter> diginet, i will be happy if i convert to ubuntu - sofar mandriva couldnt convince me , unfortunately i bought mandriva
[12:25] <CrakeHunter> i love the colors of ubuntu!
[12:26] <java__> frogzoo: and how do i know if i can do that , is there something like steps i should follow i am really very new to linux

[12:48] <paradroid> Hi all.
[12:48] <paradroid> Is there a way to start a program on startup and place its window on a certain desktop?
[12:49] <ardchoille> paradroid: I believe Devilspie can do that.
[12:49] <ardchoille> !devilspie
[12:49] <ubotu> devilspie is a tool that performs actions on windows in GNOME's metacity such as resizing, positioning, and pinning.  Usage information can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Devilspie
[12:50] <paradroid> Haha, thank you. That must have been one of the fastest answers in IRC I ever got. ;)
[12:50] <jmiller565> !GNOME
[12:50] <ubotu> gnome is a project that provides two things: The GNOME desktop environment, an intuitive and attractive desktop for end-users, users, and the GNOME development platform, an extensive framework for building applications that integrate into the rest of the desktop.

[12:51] <paradroid> Damn, I have to think of another, more sophisticated question. That was too easy. ;)
[12:52] <zeifer> I'm tired. Xubuntu is still.... updating.
[12:53] <constant_> zeifer: 56k...
[12:53] <christin00> i have problem with install game im nobe
[12:55] <zeifer> I'd love to help you christin00  however, I don't install games on my Ubuntu releases, generally.
[12:56] <christin00> when i wrote make
[12:56] <padge> I'm having some trouble compiling something
[12:56] <christin00> i had : fireworks.c:52: warning: pointer targets in assignment differ in signedness
[12:56] <christin00> fireworks.c:56: warning: pointer targets in passing argument 1 of read_pcx differ in signedness
[12:56] <padge> there's a compile script that's been written, and I think it was written in a hurry
[12:56] <padge> I was wondering if someone had the knowhow to tell me what a couple of things meant
[12:57] <ardchoille> padge: I'm sure someone can try.
[12:57] <padge> # get Qt3 precedence from Qt4
[12:57] <padge> export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
[12:57] <snail> padge: you know what the PATH is?
[12:57] <padge> If I were to guess, that's someone trying to add to or change the path
[12:57] <padge> yes
[12:58] <snail> padge: that adds a directory to the start of the path
[12:58] <padge> but I didn't know they had labels for different applications
[12:58] <padge> like $QTDIR ?
[12:58] <snail> $QTDIR/bin is prepended to PATJ
[12:58] <padge> okay
[12:58] <snail> $QTDIR should be set somewhere else in the application
[12:58] <padge> so the path is delimited by the colon
[12:58] <christin00> ;/
[12:59] <padge> BAsed on that comment
[12:59] <snail> padge: indeed
[12:59] <constant_> hehe
[12:59] <padge> Would you say that he's trying to use Qt3 instead of Qt4 which he suspects might happen if he just uses whichever qmake is in the path?
[01:00] <snail> padge: entirely likely
[01:00] <Orfeous> what is Beryl Ubuntu?
[01:00] <snail> Orfeous: eye candy
[01:01] <christin00> zeifer: so..can you help me install..?
[01:01] <constant_> use compiz instead
[01:01] <constant_> it more stable
[01:01] <constant_> well i think so
[01:01] <padge> snail: So, when and how is $QTDIR set and how can I find out where it points?
[01:01] <frogzoo> !beryl | Orfeous
[01:01] <ubotu> Orfeous: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[01:01] <Orfeous> how do i get Beryl Ubuntu?
[01:01] <snail> padge: "echo $QTDIR"
[01:01] <amadeus> hello
[01:01] <constant_> apt-get install beryl
[01:01] <frogzoo> constant_: beryl has more/better effects
[01:02] <padge> okat
[01:02] <padge> That returns a blank line
[01:02] <padge> does that mean that it's not set?
[01:02] <Orfeous> quite similair to Windows Vista..
[01:03] <Orfeous> with those animations
[01:03] <snail> padge: indeed
[01:03] <Dh3Y0> my connection timed out whilst i was trying to install some programs with apt-get how do i complete the installation?
[01:03] <snail> amadeus: hi
[01:03] <constant_> frogzoo: ill check it out sometime
[01:03] <snail> amadeus: you may be after #ubuntu-de
[01:03] <constant_> frogzoo: i just heard it isnt quite that stable
[01:03] <padge> So the author of that script presumed that QTDIR would be set, which it's not.  I replaced the proceeding lines with just 'qmake'
[01:03] <Quintin> Dh3Y0: the same way that you started it.
[01:03] <padge> on my first attempt
[01:03] <padge> but the compiler puked
[01:04] <Dh3Y0> kk

[01:07] <frogzoo> Paddy_EIRE: yep
[01:07] <Paddy_EIRE> nice one :)
[01:07] <dr_nick> i'm having trouble switching from CRT to a new TFT (connected via VGA). it works, resolution-wise, but i'd like to run xorg at 60Hz refresh rate. even running "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and setting 1280x1024@60Hz as optimal or limiting VertRefresh to 50-60 in xorg.conf won't keep Xorg from running @75Hz refresh
[01:07] <Orfeous> i think i am gonna install ubuntu now on my computer instead of windows. I am really excited.
[01:08] <Orfeous> i have been running debian for many years but ubuntu seems to be better for desktop using...
[01:08] <Orfeous> desktop clients
[01:08] <rmatheus> eae

[01:10] <cafuego_> diazepam: yup
[01:11] <cafuego_> and feisty too
[01:11] <diazepam> cafuegu - just installed it with no errors but the gui doesnt seem to appear

[01:12] <cyphase> diazepam: nm-applet
[01:12] <klimraamkosie> Question: I installed ubuntu with alternate, everything went fine. I restart, and it said "boot record and backup are not the same, doing nothing about it". Then it stops there.
[01:13] <cyphase> it looks like only half the new packages are uploaded
[01:15] <amadeus> is there anybody who has experience with the regulation of cpu voltage?
[01:17] <Orfeous> are there any kind of movie editing softwares for ubuntu?
[01:17] <Orfeous> dc clients.. etc
[01:17] <felixhummel> Can I enable tab-completion for scp, so "scp me@myPC:/ho<tab>" completes to "scp me@myPC:/home/"?
[01:18] <constant__> felixhummel: it should do that automatically if u use bash
[01:18] <felixhummel> constant__, doesn't :/
[01:19] <constant__> mmmm...
[01:19] <felixhummel> completion works everywhere else though
[01:19] <klimraamkosie> Question: I installed ubuntu with alternate, everything went fine. I restart, and it said "boot record and backup are not the same, doing nothing about it". Then it stops there.
[01:19] <constant__> felixhummel: maybe bash just cant do scp completion of dirs
[01:19] <LiniX> hi all, I want to use magicpoint (presentation programe), but i have a problem, it say
[01:20] <LiniX> X Error of failed request:  BadMatch (invalid parameter attributes)
[01:20] <padge> How do I pipe the stderr stream to a file?
[01:20] <LiniX>   Major opcode of failed request:  64 (X_PolyPoint)
[01:20] <LiniX>   Serial number of failed request:  112
[01:20] <LiniX>   Current serial number in output stream:  113
[01:20] <felixhummel> constant__, doesn't work for files either
[01:20] <oxygen> is a new version ubuntu feisty ?
[01:20] <LiniX> how i fix it?
[01:20] <constant__> felixhummel: what do you mean?
[01:20] <constant__> felixhummel: when you do whaT?
[01:21] <Eposhark> Hi guys, what could be the problem in this ping? http://rafb.net/p/0dPmAo42.html
[01:21] <tiredbones> I'm having problems installing Edgy 6.10 on my  Dell Inspiron 1501,doesn't recognise the hard drive, but I see a lot of people are having this problem. I found  a howto by a blogger name redDead at this site. http://ubuntu1501.blogspot.com/. Is this the most common way to fix the problem?
[01:21] <constant__> oooh
[01:21] <Eposhark> As you can see, it goes from fast to very slow, and has 21% packet loss...
[01:21] <Eposhark> It's probably something to do with the wireless connection of the Ubuntu PC I'm trying to ping... But how do I solve it?
[01:21] <constant__> uhm... does anyone know where XFCE's menu config files are?
[01:21] <felixhummel> constant__, i'm at my server and want to copy a file from myPC to home, i.e. "scp me@myPC:/home/me/.bashrc ~"
[01:22] <constant__> felixhummel: okay then it wont work
[01:22] <lisette> # /.momomo
[01:22] <felixhummel> constant__, nice! :D
[01:22] <felixhummel> :'(
[01:22] <constant__> felixhummel: the think with scp is, you have to know the other machines dir structure
[01:22] <oxygen> what s it ubuntu feisty
[01:23] <constant__> felixhummel: and scp cant know that either, coz the transaction with the remote machine is only done after you pressed enter
[01:23] <_james> what's new for ubuntu?
[01:23] <felixhummel> guessed it...
[01:23] <felixhummel> constant__, well, is there another way than mounting nfs volumes (like sshls or something)?
[01:23] <amadeus> (spricht hier jemand deutsch?)
[01:24] <felixhummel> amadeus, join #ubuntu-de
[01:24] <constant__> net afrikaans...
[01:24] <constant__> dis amper dieselfde :)
[01:24] <constant__> felixhummel: mmmm not that i know of
[01:25] <felixhummel> constant__, thanks, nevertheless!
[01:25] <amadeus> felixhummel: it was only a question. im already in ubuntu-de
[01:25] <constant__> felixhummel: cool cool
[01:25] <Paddy_EIRE> how would i install grub fresh, I have already installed linux and windows in that order unfortunately...is it possible to install grub so that it detects the 2 OSs instead of recovering the old grub
[01:26] <felixhummel> Paddy_EIRE, sudo grub-install
[01:26] <Christian__> Hi! Does anybody know a solution for installing dapper on an Intel G965 Core 2 Duo ?
[01:26] <constant__> Paddy_EIRE: just write a new config
[01:26] <Paddy_EIRE> nice one
[01:26] <constant__> Christian__: put the cd in and install it :)
[01:26] <felixhummel> :D
[01:26] <constant__> Paddy_EIRE: what? im serious
[01:26] <kemp> ha
[01:26] <felixhummel> !nfs
[01:26] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[01:26] <constant__> Paddy_EIRE: never a better time to learn
[01:27] <Paddy_EIRE> constant__: how would i do this
[01:27] <Christian__> lol than booting stops at "Uncompressing Linux... OK, booting the kernel"
[01:27] <constant__> hehe
[01:27] <Elettra> Ciao !
[01:27] <constant__> Paddy_EIRE: google for a how-to on that
[01:27] <kemp> ha!ha!
[01:27] <constant__> Paddy_EIRE: im used to lilo
[01:27] <Paddy_EIRE> oh
[01:28] <constant__> Paddy_EIRE: to do it with lilo is pretty easy
[01:28] <RAM_JET> Hello I cant get serpentine to create a audio cd of wav files. Can anyone tell me why?
[01:28] <RAM_JET> or any suggestions?
[01:28] <Christian__> so tehre is not an official howto on ubuntu site?
[01:28] <constant__> Christian__: not likely
[01:28] <Paddy_EIRE> felixhummel: would this be correct sudo grub-install (hd0)
[01:29] <constant__> Paddy_EIRE: ja but u still need a working config file
[01:29] <constant__> Paddy_EIRE: that tells grub where what is
[01:29] <Paddy_EIRE> oh
[01:29] <Paddy_EIRE> cant it install freshly and detect the 2 operating systems itself??
[01:30] <constant__> Paddy_EIRE: mmmm maybe dpkg-reconfigure grub will work
[01:31] <HeathenDan> what's a good company to register a .biz name? godaddy?
[01:31] <Paddy_EIRE> constant__: it just skipped to the next line with no output
[01:31] <iKitchum> How come my downloads are always REALLLY REALLLY SLOW!!!! even tho i'm downloading files that has lots of sources... i'm on a 7.1Mbit connection....
[01:31] <gary> I'm running ubuntu of a CD, does anyone know what the SU/root password is?
[01:31] <constant__> iKitchum: kick ur sys admin
[01:31] <Paddy_EIRE> gary: there is none
[01:31] <constant__> gary: there is no root account
[01:32] <constant__> u have to use sudo
[01:32] <Paddy_EIRE> gary: try "sudo -i"
[01:32] <gary> how do you mount thigns then?
[01:32] <constant__> gary: u have to use sudo or sudo -s for a shell
[01:32] <gary> oh right, I'll try that!
[01:32] <gary> thanks
[01:32] <constant__> cool
[01:32] <iKitchum> kick my sys admin?
[01:32] <gary> It says I am unable to execute a binary
[01:32] <gary> I'm trying sudo mount
[01:33] <nightwatch> hi guys, is somebody using ubuntu with ldap and make nsswitch.conf work?
[01:33] <constant__> nightwatch: why would you want to do that?
[01:33] <constant__> gary: what?
[01:34] <constant__> gary: did you do sudo -s in the terminal?
[01:34] <constant__> gary: and it said that?
[01:35] <iKitchum> how do I kick the sys admin?
[01:35] <constant__> iKitchum: !kick sysadmin
[01:35] <constant__> hehe
[01:35] <BelialMk1I> >.<
[01:36] <nightwatch> constant__ I tried to install ubuntu in a company and I found a bug.. after instalation and configuration of nsswitch to access ldap,the system crashes in boot. I read some on mailing lists but there`s nothing about how o fix it
[01:36] <iKitchum> how could this affect the downloads in my Ktorrent, I just feel like i'm being B****sh**ted
[01:37] <Paddy_EIRE> could someone please help me re-install grub
[01:37] <Lynoure> iKitchum: By "lots of sources" you mean torrent? some people limit their torrent upload to a very small number (e.g. 1kb) and sometimes that is the cause of slowness
[01:37] <constant__> iKitchum: torrents are slow
[01:37] <apokryphos> Paddy_EIRE: take a look at the FAQ <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions> as linked to in the channel /topic
[01:37] <constant__> iKitchum: thats just the way it is
[01:38] <erUSUL> !grub | Paddy_EIRE

[01:38] <apokryphos> forget torrents, use metalinks
[01:38] <apokryphos> they will pretty much always max out your connection
[01:38] <iKitchum> yeah but, why does it download at 200kb/s on my windows and on my mac? as soon as i get on Linux torrents are downloading at 5kb/s MAX
[01:39] <disturboresiduo> the installation of my ubuntu blocks in 6% of "install of system base". in "receive of console-terminus". Why?How i can do?
[01:39] <iKitchum> metalinks?
[01:39] <constant__> 200kb/s on torrents?? not likely
[01:39] <maxx18> hey what's the deal with the new kernel upgrade? for me synaptic is saying it will upgrade linux-generic, linux-restricted-modules-common and nvidia-glx...... BUT it will hold back linux-headers-generic, linux-image-generic, and linux-restricted-modules-generic..... why is stuff being held back?
[01:39] <Lynoure> constant__: been there, done that, on Linux
[01:39] <apokryphos> iKitchum: http://www.metalinker.org/
[01:39] <jannu1> any idea when i start supertux i get black screen and cursor, what i can do ? any help?
[01:39] <Lynoure> constant__: it was some widespread legal torrent
[01:39] <apokryphos> iKitchum: or are you not downloading an ISO here?
[01:39] <soundray> disturboresiduo: this is typically caused by a faulty CD
[01:40] <gary> sorry, guys, got it working
[01:40] <apokryphos> constant__: it always depends on the popularity of the torrent. I've had 1.5meg/sec before on a torrent
[01:40] <soundray> disturboresiduo: use the "Check CD" option from the boot menu
[01:40] <gary> First time i've run ubuntu from a CD - very impressive
[01:40] <apokryphos> constant__: but then we metalinks I *always* get 2meg/sec (which is my connection maxed out)
[01:40] <gary> Does anyone know what happens to the programmes you installed, the passwords saved, etc.. Would it remember that information, or does it all get lost on reboot
[01:40] <collsss> i'm noob, i need help
[01:40] <apokryphos> !helpme
[01:40] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:41] <iKitchum> apokryphos, i'm downloading lots of things... various things
[01:41] <apokryphos> iKitchum: what torrent client?
[01:41] <constant__> apokryphos: i live in south-africa dude... ill dream of that connection
[01:41] <apokryphos> =)
[01:41] <collsss> and i dont't speak english
[01:41] <iKitchum> Ktorrent
[01:41] <apokryphos> collsss: what language?
[01:41] <collsss> i'm from brazil
[01:41] <constant__> collsss: what? i dont understand you
[01:41] <soundray> !pt | collsss
[01:41] <ubotu> collsss: Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[01:41] <apokryphos> iKitchum: hm, ktorrent's generally very good.
[01:42] <gary> Can anyone answer my quick question please? ^^^
[01:42] <collsss> ok ubotu
[01:42] <heikki> maybe
[01:42] <heikki> ask it
[01:42] <apokryphos> !helpme
[01:42] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[01:42] <soundray> collsss: feel free to ask here though, your English seems good enough ;)
[01:42] <soundray> gary: it does get lost
[01:42] <collsss> soundray:  :D
[01:42] <iKitchum> apokryphos, I do see it crank up to 60 some kbs once in a while but it happens for 20 seconds once every hour or so... so that doesn't really count, it's probably just a glitch anyways lol
[01:43] <soundray> gary: some live CDs allow you to store configurations and permanent home directories, but I don't think Ubuntu offers that yet
[01:43] <_raphael_> is there a repo with the newest nvidia drivers for edgy?
[01:43] <constant__> _raphael_ ja
[01:43] <deinspanjer> Hi folks, couple of quick questions about kernel upgrading.. I was poking around in Synaptic and it alerted me that there are upgrades available, namely linux-image-generic <IP_ADDRESS>.  However, it won't upgrade from .10 because -generic depends on package linux-image-<IP_ADDRESS>-generic, and that package doesn't appear in my list (and synaptic says it is not installable).
[01:43] <constant__> _raphael_ in the restricted branch
[01:43] <deinspanjer> Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
[01:44] <heikki> raphael: i have used this one: deb http://www.albertomilone.com/drivers/edgy/latest/32bit binary/
[01:44] <constant__> deinspanjer: apt get's its moods
[01:44] <_raphael_> constant__: hm, I thought I had that repo enabled...
[01:44] <constant__> _raphael_: on your deb cmd just add restricted after main
[01:44] <heikki> i don't know if it includes the newest one but i have installed some 9xxx-driver from that repo
[01:45] <soundray> deinspanjer: hit 'Reload' and try again
[01:45] <deinspanjer> constant__: I'm sorry, I didn't quite understand that.  Are you saying apt-get is having trouble right now?
[01:45] <deinspanjer> soundray: Tried that once, but maybe I didn't wait long enough? ::trying again::
[01:45] <AndyVit> hi
[01:45] <heikki> hi
[01:46] <iKitchum> high
[01:46] <Orfeous> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqcyAhWzqSo
[01:46] <deinspanjer> soundray: Hrm. yeah, Reloading doesn't cause .11 to appear in my Synaptic list.
[01:46] <Orfeous> nice ubuntu movieclip
[01:46] <AndyVit> are you from miranda support?
[01:46] <deinspanjer> Side question, Should I consider moving from -generic to -686? I've got a Penium M chip.  Is there significant value in the 686 over generic for me?
[01:46] <oxygen> i will upgrade feisty version
[01:47] <oxygen> who do you think abouth feisty
[01:47] <soundray> deinspanjer: I get the same problem here. It's an inconsistency on the server side. I guess it will be fixed by tomorrow.
[01:47] <oxygen> allllllll

[01:48] <deinspanjer> soundray: Okay. It is just a little bit of a bummer because I was just about to install the NVIDIA 3d accelerated drivers, and I don't want to compile them against the wrong kernel.
[01:49] <soundray> deinspanjer: just compile them against your current kernel. They will probably still work after the update, and if not, you can just compile them again.
[01:49] <constant__> soundray: no they wont
[01:49] <constant__> soundray: but just compile them again then
[01:50] <weechat_user> Hi. I'm trying to mount a FAT32 partition on Ubuntu. It seems to work ok, but there are some directories only with read access, even if I specify these parameters for mount: rw,utf8,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=0 How can I fix the error?
[01:50] <aalhamad> to run a file with extensjon .bin.. is it sh file.bin?
[01:51] <_raphael_> constant__: I have the word restricted inn all mye deb lines in sources.list, but synaptic still says that 1.0-8xxx is the newest
[01:51] <deinspanjer> Actually, I just noticed that there is an nvidia-glx package.. maybe I should look at apt-getting that instead of compiling from the NVIDIA download.
[01:51] <soundray> aalhamad: you seem to know the answer already, so what are you afraid of?
[01:51] <soundray> deinspanjer: yes, and take a look at...

[01:52] <soundray> aalhamad: what are you installing?
[01:52] <andou> ubotu: With the NVidia drivers, will I be able to get higher resolution?
[01:52] <constant__> then install it
[01:52] <deinspanjer> soundray: Thanks for all the cluestick slapping. :) You've been quite helpful and I'm dizzy with ubuntu happyness.. or is that a concussion?
[01:53] <constant__> if there isn't a module for your current kernel, it compiles one, if GCC and tools are installed

[02:04] <MrRio> wow, it's busy in here, almost 1000 peeps these days
[02:04] <soundray> aalhamad: you can use the syntax for iwconfig (man iwconfig) in that file, if you prepend it with 'wireless-' (e.g. 'wireless-essid your_ssid')
[02:04] <derspankster> thug: happens to me too
[02:05] <thug> derspankster really ? and im sure its not the connection its the player ...
[02:05] <aalhamad> soundray, i tried this also..

[02:17] <GreyGhost> err...it still doesnt work .. i did a clean 6.10 install.. still the same thing ... copletes the loading (the splash ..) but no login screen .. it used to work previously.... and i havent done any hardware change either :(
[02:17] <zumbi77> bauer77: thanks for the advice. But for some reason it didn't do the trick. And I wanted to figure out how to do without
[02:17] <frogzoo> I saw a mention of issues with the latest kernel update, is there a problem, or ok to proceed with the update?
[02:17] <soundray> anime_cell: it's a source distribution. Unpack the download with 'tar zxf mindguard-<IP_ADDRESS>.tgz
[02:18] <Lynoure> tuskernini: Possibly, what does it do at the moment?
[02:18] <soundray> '
[02:18] <soundray> anime_cell: and look at the contents. There is usually a README and or INSTALL file
[02:18] <anime_cell> k let me download it first
[02:18] <soundray> s/and or/and\/or/
[02:18] <MDCore> anime_cell: nooo. That's the latest... Um.. yeah....
[02:19] <M-a-r-k> Testing
[02:20] <soundray> M-a-r-k: sorry, didn't work
[02:20] <tuskernini> Lynoure, I have a dlink connection at home and it works with a key, but the city here has free wireless internet some places, and does not require a key... when i try to log on to it.. with network manager.. it trys to log on but does not work
[02:20] <lowfi> anime_cell, that looks like one hell of a program, "MindGuard works by leveraging your computer's aluminum-based innards to both detect and emit psychotronic energy using advanced quasi-quantum techniques." lol
[02:20] <M-a-r-k> :(
[02:20] <Zaggynl> When I have ubuntu-desktop installed, can I install xubuntu-desktop without removing ubuntu-desktop ?
[02:21] <Lynoure> tuskernini: and it is a really open network and not one requiring a specific mac address or payment through their webpages?
[02:21] <Artemis3> Anyone knows the cause of the openoffice "Error in function createUserSettingsDocument (elements.cxx).javaldx failed!" error?
[02:21] <tuskernini> well, that i would not know, i also have no other network i can test it with... aaahh!
[02:21] <M-a-r-k> Is there anywhere I can go to get some advice on installing a new graphics card?
[02:22] <tuskernini> Lynoure, no payment... but i am not sure about the mac address
[02:22] <M-a-r-k> Real time advice
[02:22] <Hobbsee> jenda: looks suss.  be on hand?
[02:22] <frogzoo> !nvidia | M-a-r-k
[02:22] <ubotu> M-a-r-k: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:22] <soundray> M-a-r-k: do you mean the hardware or software part of the install?
[02:22] <M-a-r-k> The software
[02:22] <jenda> Hobbsee: As if I could help it.
[02:22] <Lynoure> tuskernini: does it give you an ip address? (pastebin ifconfig if unsure)
[02:22] <soundray> M-a-r-k: which operating system?
[02:22] <jenda> (being on hand, that is ;))
[02:22] <Hobbsee> jenda: you can kickban.  that helps
[02:23] <anime_cell> lowfi: i know i'm keen to if there are signals in my area
[02:23] <M-a-r-k> Dapper Drake?
[02:23] <disc-q> is there a know bug in the broadcom wifi firmware under linux?
[02:23] <jenda> Hobbsee: I can't :)
[02:23] <tuskernini> i am currently on my home wlan so i will have an ip
[02:23] <Hobbsee> jenda: can now.
[02:23] <jenda> :)
[02:23] <jenda> kk
[02:23] <tuskernini> Lynoure, i am currently on my home wlan so i will have an ip
[02:23] <mikea> ubuntu hide my ip adress in network. How to unhide it?
[02:23] <soundray> M-a-r-k: follow the link that frogzoo made ubotu send
[02:23] <Hobbsee> disc-q: many.  only the broadcom people can fix them.
[02:23] <M-a-r-k> Someone on the Ubuntu forum said I should paste this sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg in to a terminal and go from there
[02:24] <Lynoure> tuskernini: then it is currently very hard to do troubleshooting...
[02:24] <frogzoo> I saw a mention of issues with the latest kernel update, is there a problem, or ok to proceed with the update?
[02:24] <soundray> !nvidia > M-a-r-k
[02:24] <M-a-r-k> So, I did that, but several questions in to the wizard it asks me things I don't know
[02:24] <disc-q> Hobbsee, also a bug related to the signal range?
[02:24] <soundray> frogzoo: linux-generic depends on <IP_ADDRESS>, but the latest is still <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:24] <_raphael_> can I run aiglx/beryl with a legacy nvidia card?
[02:24] <Hobbsee> disc-q: probably.
[02:25] <Lynoure> tuskernini: Ideally, try with confirmed open wlan in a place where someone else has network access, so that you can connect to irc for help if needed.
[02:25] <soundray> M-a-r-k: like what?
[02:25] <M-a-r-k> Hang on
[02:25] <M-a-r-k> Can we get a room?
[02:25] <soundray> M-a-r-k: no
[02:25] <soundray> !pm | M-a-r-k
[02:25] <ubotu> M-a-r-k: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first.
[02:25] <disc-q> I have good signal quality under windows and no link under xubuntu at the same location
[02:25] <Mena> hi ....is there a program to open flash files from the desktop like swf
[02:25] <anime_cell> "You can try MindGuard out before you install it by
[02:25] <anime_cell> typing "./mindguard" since it will recognize the carriers
[02:25] <anime_cell> dir at ./carriers and load the modules from there."  <----- how do i do this
[02:26] <Pici> soundray: Check again, I just downloaded 2.6.17-11 this morning
[02:26] <tuskernini> Lynoure, will do thank you.
[02:26] <frogzoo> Mena: vlc
[02:26] <Hobbsee> <IP_ADDRESS>
[02:26] <Mena> frogzoo, okay
[02:26] <bauer77> Hey I like the steel drums at the beginning of Ubuntu , however they are way to loud. Is there any way to turn the volume down without completely disabling it?
[02:26] <Lynoure> tuskernini: Good luck, sorry I was not much assistance now.
[02:26] <anime_cell> do i sudo ./mindgaurd
[02:27] <M-a-r-k> Okay, my card is a Guillemot Maxi Gamer Cougar.  The first question is "Select the desired X server driver". I was told that's Vesa
[02:27] <soundray> Pici: checked again, problem still present. Using gb.archive of amd64
[02:27] <Pici> soundray: Ah, Okay
[02:27] <M-a-r-k> Next they want me to enter an identifier for my video card
[02:28] <M-a-r-k> That would be "Maxi gamer Cougar" or "Guillemot Maxi Gamer Couger"?
[02:28] <soundray> M-a-r-k: forget the dpkg-reconfigure for now. Just go through to the end, accepting all the defaults.
[02:28] <M-a-r-k> cougar
[02:28] <soundray> M-a-r-k: then look at the pm that ubotu sent you, and follow the instructions behind that link.
[02:29] <pabix> et il vous dit un bonjour trs chaleureux du coup
[02:29] <chrismhampson> I have clamav and spamassassin services enabled. Does this mean they are both working or are other steps needed?

I found  a howto by a blogger name redDead at this site. http://ubuntu1501.blogspot.com/. Is this the most common way to fix the problem?
[02:33] <pabix> kazukisan: did you launch the live-CD with some starting options?
[02:33] <kazukisan> pabix: no not the first time i used it
[02:33] <mr_daniel> does someone here got the canon iP5200R and have successfully install it on ubuntu edgy ?
[02:34] <pabix> kazukisan: did you try some "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" ?
[02:34] <mr_daniel> I have try it, but I can't establish a connection to the printer
[02:34] <pabix> (with sudo of course)
[02:34] <kazukisan> pabix, yes
[02:34] <pabix> so I've no clue :)
[02:34] <kazukisan> :P
[02:34] <mr_daniel> also the program 'cngpijmon' isn't running at me

[02:36] <ConstyXIV> how do you restore the default splash in edgy?
[02:36] <pabix> anime_cell: to do what?
[02:36] <soundray> anime_cell: I told you how to unpack it
[02:37] <tiredbones> soundray, I'm not sure what you are asking me.
[02:37] <anime_cell> then i didn't understand
[02:37] <ConstyXIV> anime_cell: you probably just need to use file-roller to unpack it, then find the binary in the folder it spills out
[02:37] <shadeofgrey> okay folks.  group guidance needed.  i have the 15" macbookpro and i want an wxternal monitor.  anybody here seen the 15" mbp used with the dell 30" display?

[02:37] <grims> ?
[02:37] <soundray> tiredbones: what suggestion does the blogger make which you are unsure about?
[02:37] <soundray> anime_cell: it's a source distribution. Unpack the download with 'tar zxf mindguard-<IP_ADDRESS>.tgz'
[02:38] <shadeofgrey> its half  as expensive to go with the 24" -- but ive never bought the top of the line anything - and i think i deserve it
[02:38] <ConstyXIV> soundray: that's tar zxvf
[02:38] <grims> i have a built in webcam in my laptop, anyone have a clue to get it working ?
[02:38] <anime_cell> soundray:must i just type that in my terminal
[02:38] <shadeofgrey> but i dont want to waste money on it if anybody has had issues using it
[02:38] <ConstyXIV> anime_cell: yes

[02:41] <Ro1> hey i need help quick plz
[02:41] <soundray> anime_cell: do a 'cd $HOME/Desktop' first. That's probably the location where you downloaded the archive to.
[02:41] <Turgon> ConstyXIV : It is a file type that compresses a lot a movie DVD (or so I have read)

[02:41] <ubotu> Ro1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)

[02:42] <Ro1> okies, urmm i installed ubuntu then, and i had a high screen resolution of 1024 x 768 but when i installed the updates i restarted it and all i can get now is 800 x 600
[02:43] <Turgon> ConstyXIV : Thanks, I'll have to do that :(
[02:43] <ConstyXIV> Turgon: or try to pick apart the file format and convert it yourself, but good luck (both doing it and avoiding rev-eng laws)
[02:43] <soundray> tiredbones: I have. Where is the lengthy procedure you are talking about?

[02:55] <soundray> kenthomson: remove the packages you want to get rid of with 'apt-get --purge remove packagename'
[02:55] <soundray> kenthomson: then make sure your /etc/apt/sources.list doesn't point to the blockhead's repos any more
[02:56] <kenthomson> soundray, but if i remove libfreetype2.3.1, then synaptic tells me that it will install a HELL of a lot of apps, including abiword, firefox, and a hundred other things i use everyday? what should i do

[02:57] <ConstyXIV> bauer77_: are you on dynamic ip with your isp?
[02:57] <Ro1> hey that fix didnt work
[02:57] <kenthomson> Anyone can help me with font rendering on LCDs, thats what got me into trouble in the first place
[02:57] <ttrygve> why does Update Manager show some "Important security updates" that are not selectable this morning?
[02:57] <iratik> phlackee:  list files in directory and sort them by size : ls -lSr
[02:57] <kenthomson> ttrygve, yes, you have me question
[02:57] <iratik> Pici: history file ?
[02:57] <soundray> kenthomson: in that case, use 'dpkg --purge --force-depends libfreetype2.3.1', then 'sudo apt-get install libfreetype6'
[02:57] <ConstyXIV> kenthomson: like what, AA?
[02:57] <phlackee> thanks
[02:58] <soundray> kenthomson: sudo the dpkg command as well

[02:58] <Ace2016> Anyone here know a chemistry channel? i need to name  CH3-COH=CH2    i think its 2-hydroxyprop-2-ene  but isn't it named after the alcohol group instead of the alkene bit
[02:58] <kenthomson> soundray, ok are you sure that wont break my system? :(
[02:59] <bauer77_> Yes ConstyXIV
[02:59] <hbaigu> Ace2016, there is ##chemistry
[02:59] <bauer77_> at the time I am anyways, I can configure static IP (sticky)
[02:59] <kenthomson> Ace2016, i think that name is right
[02:59] <Ro1> i need help with my screen resolution
[02:59] <iratik> is there a way to scan the filesystem for all directories with attribute -ia ?
[02:59] <soundray> kenthomson: your system is broken already. Any fix you apply now is risky. But the likelihood is that this will work.
[02:59] <iratik> like lsattr | grep -ia-
[02:59] <kenthomson> soundray, likelihood is the term i fear :)
[02:59] <ConstyXIV> bauer77_: there is a chance that someone with your current ip has wronged #asterisk, and your ip's been banned
[02:59] <bauer77_> ah, that would make sense
[03:00] <GaiaX11> I installed edgy, but I was stuck in a blank screen and when I log in my mouse (optical) does not work and them I am kicked of the x and go to the login screen again. How do I fix it?
[03:00] <Pici> iratik: the .bash_history file in the user's home folder should show what commands they have run, but its only updated on logoff
[03:00] <Ace2016> hbaigu and kenthomson: Thanks
[03:00] <soundray> kenthomson: look, you can either accept my suggestion and bear the risk or leave your system as it is.
[03:00] <iratik> Pici : up for private ?
[03:00] <kenthomson> soundray, i'll risk it :)
[03:00] <kenthomson> Ace2016, i don't know how i could have helped anybody :)

[03:01] <bauer77_> chuckles at soundray
[03:01] <soundray> bauer77_: am I being too harsh?
[03:01] <Ro1> i need help with my screen resolution, it used 2 be on 1024 x 768 now it only lets me have 800 x 600 since ive done the updates
[03:02] <bauer77_> I dont think so soundray
[03:02] <soundray> bauer77_: thanks
[03:02] <ConstyXIV> Ro1: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:02] <ConstyXIV> Ro1: that should let you set your res right

[03:02] <GaiaX11> riotkittie: I run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-org more than 10 times, but never worked. There is no optical mouse feature
[03:02] <bauer77_> Is there any ghosting software that can be run to ghost my ubuntu install?

[03:08] <kenthomson> soundray, so...?
[03:08] <Dawei> can someone help me with PCSX2? I need to set the SE_LOCK_MEMORY (according to it).
[03:08] <kenthomson> soundray, what about improved font rendering
[03:09] <ardchoille> Is there a GUI tool that I can type in text, click a button and have that text encrypted?
[03:10] <Dawei> how do I set program memory-priority in Ubuntu? I need it for PCSX2
[03:10] <ConstyXIV> ardchoille: seahorse i think
[03:10] <kenthomson> LIke in windows we create system restore points, is there a way i can do that in ubuntu so that the setting of all my configuration files are saved in a restore point of that particular date and than i can make another restore point for the newly edited configuration file for another date, and than if in the future if i want to get back to what ubuntu did in a fresh install or to what my system-wide setting were in say february 2006, than i simply sel
[03:10] <kenthomson> ect that restore point and ubuntu replaces all the current configuration files with what were in february 2006?
[03:10] <kenthomson> is that considered long?
[03:10] <ardchoille> ConstyXIV: Seahorse keeps keys, it doesn't encrypt text typed into a GUI.
[03:11] <Dawei> Probably.
[03:11] <Dawei> I wouldn't know.
[03:11] <kenthomson> So anyone can help me do what i am asking???
[03:11] <dyrne> kenthomson: in linux we call it tar :)
[03:11] <kenthomson> dyrne, so how do i employ/use it to achieve that task i am asking for?
[03:12] <ConstyXIV> kenthomson: just tar up your homedir
[03:12] <Dawei> er, so no one knows anything about how to run PCSX2?
[03:12] <frogzoo> kenthomson: you could take subversion snapshots of /etc/ & ~/.* but really, not necessary

[03:13] <chino> how do i install ubuntu to my thumb drive ?
[03:13] <kenthomson> frogzoo, thats too technical for me, what is subversion
[03:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ssl - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:13] <asdfj> what about the stuff in /var ? does that need to be archived as well?
[03:13] <IdleOne> kenthomson: basicaly it's a backup so just backup your /home and when you need to go back to a certain point in time you can replace the current /home with the saved /home
[03:13] <ConstyXIV> ardchoille: there is gjots2, it's a note program that can do gpg.  or is that what you're looking for?
[03:13] <frogzoo> kenthomson: subversion is a version control system
[03:13] <kenthomson> frogzoo, and why is it not necessary, for eg. now i would want to revert my computer back to all the system-default settings that were in place when there was a fresh install of ubuntu, and i don't have any backups is there a way i can do that
[03:14] <IdleOne> kenthomson: you also need to install fluxbox so the flux capacitor will allow you to go back in time :P
[03:14] <ardchoille> ConstyXIV: gjots2 encrypts the file once you write to the file. I need to encrypt a single string and copy paste it
[03:14] <Lunar_Lamp> There are new upgrades to ubuntu to install - they need to be installed via a "dist-upgrade" as they are kernel components. How do I select only certain packages to upgrade when I do this? There are some beryl packages I don't want it to upgrade when I do this.
[03:14] <kenthomson> IdleOne, frogzoo  ConstyXIV backing up the home dir will take terabytes of space if i am to do it multiple times a year, what i want is some way to select all the configuration (text) files from accross the system and then put it in a archive or something of that sort
[03:15] <kenthomson> IdleOne, MY dear friend, humuoring with a newbie could break his system :)
[03:15] <IdleOne> kenthomson: are you a newbie?
[03:15] <frogzoo> kenthomson: you need only /home/.* + /etc
[03:15] <soundray> IdleOne: is the pope catholic?
[03:15] <ConstyXIV> kenthomson: then just back up the .* folders in your homedir (theyre hidden), and the /etc
[03:15] <IdleOne> soundray NO he is
[03:16] <ConstyXIV> no, he just converted to judaism
[03:16] <frogzoo> the pope is a newbie?

[03:16] <aa_> hi
[03:16] <aa_> hi, which kernel do I want -generic, or -386 ? It is a pentium dual core, and -generic is doing fine. Just the NVidia driver installation recommends needs -386 kernel.
[03:16] <cmt^^> How do I turn off the internal speaker on a dell portable when watching a movie on my tv?
[03:16] <kenthomson> ok
[03:16] <cmt^^> (through the portable)
[03:16] <Pici> !generic | aa_
[03:16] <ubotu> aa_: Background to the decision to replace -686, k7 and -smp kernels with -generic can be found here https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-August/019983.html (the -386 kernel is still available if needed)
[03:16] <ConstyXIV> aa_: dont worry about it
[03:16] <art_> hey - how can i donwload skype?
[03:16] <erUSUL> aa_: generic is fine
[03:16] <ConstyXIV> aa_ youre fine
[03:16] <IdleOne> kenthomson: I have seen you here for a while now so I know that you arent likely to do anything with researching it before and besides fluxbox wouldnt break a system
[03:16] <kenthomson> humuor all you want, looks like i am a vulnerable target seeking help with nothing to give :)
[03:17] <aa_> but nvidia driver wants to put -386 on here

[03:17] <ConstyXIV> art_: download it from skype.com
[03:17] <lagrimo> hi
[03:17] <aa_> erUSUL: but nvidia driver wants to put -386 on here
[03:17] <IdleOne> s/with/without
[03:17] <aa_> ConstyXIV: so it will be fine with -386 too?
[03:17] <lagrimo> got a problem
[03:17] <ConstyXIV> art_: they have a ubuntu package, just download, doubleclick, and let gdebi do its thing
[03:17] <ConstyXIV> aa_: probably
[03:17] <asdfj> kenthsomson: install kdar and you'll have a graphical backup program based on dar, if you don't like the command line
[03:18] <aa_> ConstyXIV: if only probably, I will install the nvidia driver manually. Thanks for your help
[03:18] <lagrimo> in the channel #ubuntu-de i get the message: (15:17:27) lagrimo: hi

[03:18] <kenthomson> IdleOne, never mind linux has taught me a lot and it includes sitting beside a broken system and re-installing a OS few times a month, and scampering through hope-less microscopic text on the internet about things/concepts i would have never dreamt of knowing when all i want is get a GODDAMN pacakge installed to get some work done, so i wouldn't blame you
[03:18] <IdleOne> kenthomson: there is probable a gui tool that can do what you want. is there a tool to do specifacaly that I dont think but search in synaptic for backup and see what you can get
[03:18] <lagrimo> whats the problem?
[03:18] <Lunar_Lamp> lagrimo, perhaps the channel is "+m"?
[03:19] <ardchoille> ConstyXIV: I found it, install Seahorse and it comes with a plugin for gedit. Does exactly what I wanted :)

[03:37] <twisties> Does anyone have experience with Cairo-Dock!?
[03:37] <jessid> hello. I am wondering how is it possible to run a command automatically when one session has started, but as superuser, without being asked for the pass
[03:37] <ddude> asdfj: i meant it was generating a [netstat]  <defunct> process. which it still does
[03:37] <soundray> Igor_V2: install build-essential
[03:37] <Pelo> Igor_V2,  terminal synaptic or  menu >system > admin > synaptic package manager  :  search  "whatever"
[03:38] <soundray> ddude: disable all your extensions and re-enable them one by one, until you find the culprit
[03:38] <ddude> soundray: i have them all disabled now, and still have a [netstat]  <defunct> process
[03:39] <asdfj> ddude: after disabling did you close all the firefox instances and restarted it?
[03:39] <rujo> #ubuntu-es
[03:39] <ddude> asdfj: yes of course
[03:39] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Pelo, No i meant the volume levels, my sound gets mute everytime i login! i wanted to change it to 100%
[03:39] <assasukasse> hi all, someone can explain me why with dist-upgrade it is downloading evolution package while i removed in my edgy install?
[03:40] <boguh> hi, i want to mount a  partition as root that a user can read from it
[03:40] <daviey> php is borked on my system.  apt-get doesn't seem to install it (it thinks it does)  Any ideas?
[03:40] <apokryphos> assasukasse: take a look at the FAQ <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CommonQuestions> as linked to in the channel /topic
[03:40] <Pelo> gOLdenHaWK3D,  try setting in with terminal  :  alsamixer
[03:40] <vikram> Anyone can tell, how can i install linux to iso file ???
[03:40] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Pelo, oh! trying
[03:40] <apokryphos> assasukasse: look at the section about metapackages
[03:40] <asdfj> assasukasse: because meta-packages like ubuntu-desktop are being installed, evolution is one of the dependencies
[03:40] <ddude> soundray,asdfj: and then, when i close firefox it cleans the defunct, but when i start firefox, it starts again the [netstat]  <defunct> process along with firefox
[03:40] <assasukasse> ah thanks apokryphos, i found why, then i have to remove them manually again
[03:41] <soundray> ddude: maybe a plugin is at fault
[03:41] <jessid> hello. I am wondering how is it possible to run a command automatically when one session has started, but as superuser, without being asked for the pass
[03:41] <ddude> soundray: disabled all extensions
[03:41] <soundray> ddude: is 'about:plugins' an empty page?
[03:42] <vikram> help dudes ???
[03:42] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Pelo, alsamixer is the volume control, just the terminal version!!!
[03:42] <ddude> soundray: omg
[03:42] <soundray> jessid: a command or a script?
[03:42] <ddude> soundray: uhm, no it isn't
[03:42] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Pelo, but will it save my volume info???
[03:42] <Pelo> gOLdenHaWK3D,  yeah, but you get to see all the options right there
[03:42] <Pelo> gOLdenHaWK3D,  not sure
[03:42] <jessid> soundray something like rmiregistry
[03:42] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Pelo, ok, now how do i exit alsamixer?
[03:42] <ddude> soundray: thanks for pointing out
[03:42] <jessid> jessid so a command, for now
[03:42] <Pelo> gOLdenHaWK3D,  "Q" I think
[03:43] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Pelo, nopes :(
[03:43] <Lynoure> gOLdenHaWK3D: press esc
[03:43] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Pelo, np, i will search, thanx anyways :)
[03:43] <Pelo> gOLdenHaWK3D,  hold on
[03:43] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Pelo, Esc worked!
[03:43] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Pelo, thanx
[03:43] <Pelo> np
[03:43] <gOLdenHaWK3D> :)
[03:44] <ddude> syntax highlight in vi?
[03:44] <Lynoure> gOLdenHaWK3D: you are welcome.
[03:44] <twisties> Why does Cairo-Dock run correctly from a terminal but screws up if opened any other way?
[03:44] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Lynoure, :)
[03:44] <jessid> soundray only a command, for now
[03:45] <soundray> ddude: to do this securely, you'd have to setup a command-specific ssh key
[03:45] <boguh> hi, i want to mount a  partition as root that a user can read from it. how to do that?
[03:45] <thug> is there any package that alows me to watch free tv channels ?
[03:45] <soundray> ddude: if you're the only user on your system, you can do 'sudo chmod u+s rmiregistry', then a user can call the command and it will be executed with root permissions
[03:46] <kritzstapf> The following packages have been kept back:
[03:46] <kritzstapf>   linux-headers-generic linux-image-generic
[03:46] <kritzstapf> so how to update?
[03:46] <Lunar_Lamp> You would need to do a "dist-upgrade"
[03:46] <kritzstapf> ah, okay
[03:46] <ddude> soundray: yeah , the sticky bit, but i think it was for someone else?
[03:46] <soundray> kritzstapf: there's a temporary inconsistency on the servers. Try again in a few hours
[03:47] <Pelo> kritical,  it didn't update for me either , I decided to be patient and wait , it's probably something at the dev end
[03:47] <kritzstapf> Lunar_Lamp, same, soundray might be right ;)
[03:47] <Lunar_Lamp> kritzstapf,  I had to do about 5 rouns of dist-upgrade to get it to solve itself - I have no idea what it did though :-/
[03:47] <whyameye> I'm getting this message from "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade:"The following packages have been kept back:  linux-image-686 linux-restricted-modules-686
[03:47] <soundray> ddude: sorry & thanks
[03:47] <FaintofHeart> Ok, so I have a very old graphics chipset (intel, using the i810 driver) and Direct Rendering is enabled. However, I'm not getting the performance I was on Windows. Does anyone have any idea why this may be?
[03:47] <Lunar_Lamp> (I think it was probably not a smart thing)
[03:48] <soundray> jessid: to do this securely, you'd have to setup a command-specific ssh key
[03:48] <soundray> argh
[03:48] <soundray> jessid: if you're the only user on your system, you can do 'sudo chmod u+s rmiregistry', then a user can call the command and it will be executed with root permissions
[03:48] <albertg> Im sorry Can any package or something could slow my internet ... ?
[03:49] <kritzstapf> hm, think its time to fix this http://phpfi.com/201540
[03:49] <FaintofHeart> Ok, so I have a very old graphics chipset (intel, using the i810 driver) and Direct Rendering is enabled. However, I'm not getting the performance I was on Windows. Does anyone have any idea why this may be?
[03:49] <IdleOne> !ipv6 | albertg
[03:49] <ubotu> albertg: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[03:49] <jessid> soundray you recommend first what you said about ssh key, or what you said about chmod
[03:49] <Pelo> albertg,  did you test your connection using a testing site first ?
[03:50] <soundray> jessid: it depends on whether you trust the users of your system
[03:50] <albertg> Pelo, i know its slow..
[03:50] <jessid> soundray ah! ok!
[03:50] <albertg> Pelo, in the terminal i dl B/s nether kb/s

[03:50] <jessid> ~ssh
[03:50] <kenthomson> Can someone point me to increasing the eye candy in ubuntu?
[03:51] <kenthomson> Is beryl better or compiz
[03:51] <whyameye> how do I problem solve why certain packages are being "held back" with a dist-upgrade? the linux-image is one of them!
[03:51] <kritzstapf> beryl :)
[03:51] <Pelo> beryl is the beez knees at the moment
[03:51] <soundray> jessid: http://pkeck.myweb.uga.edu/ssh/  -- good instructions for doing it the secure way
[03:51] <IdleOne> albertg: ipv6 is enabled by default in Ubuntu follow this link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4 to disable ipv6 and you should also test your connection like Pelo  said
[03:51] <Pelo> whyameye,  try again in a few hours
[03:51] <jessid> soundray man, thanks a lot!!!!
[03:51] <nibbe-linux> hi there ! anyone got an link to a newbie guide how to install nvidia drivers ? :D
[03:51] <Lunar_Lamp> whyameye, I had that problem and did several consecutive dist-upgrades - not sure if it did anything useful though. However, it has been said that trying again in a few hours may be a better idea.
[03:51] <Lunar_Lamp> !nvidia
[03:51] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:52] <Pelo> nibbe-linux,  http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84
[03:52] <albertg> IdleOne, i know its really slow
[03:52] <whyameye> Lunar_Lamp, Pelo: what changes in a few hours? Something on the ubuntu repo side?
[03:52] <kenthomson> Pelo, could you say that in english please :)
[03:52] <Pelo> whyameye,  you got it
[03:52] <IdleOne> albertg: then diable ipv6 like the link says https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[03:52] <nibbe-linux> thanks !
[03:52] <Lunar_Lamp> whyameye, I'm not sure, but I've heard say in here that there is a problem with the packages.
[03:52] <kenthomson> BERYL VS COMPIZ please recommend one to me and the reasons therein
[03:52] <albertg> IdleOne, ill just try lo Pelo sayd
[03:52] <Pelo> kenthomson,  say what in english ?
[03:53] <twisties> Anyone know how to fix Cairo-Dock?
[03:53] <Zaggynl> Is there a fluxbox version of the *ubuntu-desktop packages?
[03:53] <albertg> IdleOne, whats that? ...
[03:53] <soundray> Pelo: the be sneeze ;)
[03:53] <Pelo> oh
[03:53] <||cw> after upgrading from dapper to edgy, i'm getting anacron emails with "/usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d: 274: /sbin/runlevel: not found", I also get it from some package install scripts as well
[03:53] <bXi> kenthomson: beryl is a fork of compiz so i suggest using beryl
[03:53] <kritzstapf> anyone read mit paste at phpfi? :D http://phpfi.com/201540
[03:53] <ddude> kenthomson, beryl is forked off compiz, because the development of compiz is a bit slower. So beryl is under rapid development
[03:53] <kenthomson> bXi, so you mean to say a fork of the original is better than the parent organisation
[03:54] <kenthomson> ddude, ok
[03:54] <||cw> and I do not have /sbin/runlevel, is that bad?  and what package would it be in?
[03:54] <IdleOne> albertg: ipv6 is a newer internet protocol with older machines it slows down internet connections if you disable it you browser will use ipv4 and speed connection a little
[03:54] <Pelo> twisties,  I think the cairo stuff is meant to work in compiz/beryl
[03:54] <soundray> ||cw: upstart-compat-sysv
[03:54] <art_> i have instaled no-ip now how can i chceck if its running or not?
[03:54] <kenthomson> bXi, ddude Pelo Could you point me to a resource for adding things like fire leaking when menus are opened and rain on the desktop and things like that? IS it possible with beryl
[03:54] <MarcoPau> medibuntu.sos-sts.com is extremely slow, do you know any better one?
[03:55] <Pelo> kenthomson,  do you have beryl installed ?
[03:55] <soundray> art_: go to your dynamic DNS site and check if your IP has been updated
[03:55] <albertg> IdleOne, emm is that badlist empty?
[03:55] <||cw> soundray: k, I have none of the upstart stuff installed, shoudl I uninstall sysv-rc?
[03:55] <IdleOne> albertg: badlist?
[03:55] <ddude> kenthomson, its possible, u hav to play around with the settings of beryl. altough the fire im not sure of
[03:55] <albertg> IdleOne, mine.. does.. so i'lll just add that line
[03:55] <art_> kk
[03:55] <kenthomson> Pelo, yes
[03:56] <||cw> soundray: do i also need upstart-logd?
[03:56] <diminthedam> Hello, when my kernel image is updated via the AutoUpdater, do i still need to compile it (with menuconfig and make-kpkg) ?
[03:56] <soundray> ||cw: you did an upgrade to edgy without switching to upstart?
[03:56] <IdleOne> albertg: I have no idea what you are talking about. what badlist? add what line where?
[03:56] <||cw> soundray: guess so, i just did a dist-upgrade
[03:56] <iratik> Anyone up for private - there is a problem I have concerning information i cannot publicly divulge ?
[03:56] <Pelo> kenthomson,  look in the bery settings manager,  I think the fire stuff in in the extra section,  if not look around , I know it is in there,  you can also ask in #beryl
[03:56] <Amaranth> eriklo: what was that?
[03:56] <kenthomson> Pelo, i don't find it there
[03:57] <twisties> Pelo: Im using Beryl but its not stretching the dock out correctly or displaying icons unless its opened through a terminal
[03:57] <eriklo> Amaranth: Just saying congratulations for making ubuntu to the ubuntu development people
[03:57] <Pelo> kenthomson,  I know you don'T need to install anything extra,  you just have to look for it in the available options ,  and ask in  #beryl
[03:57] <art_> how can i configure apache2??
[03:57] <soundray> ||cw: that may not have been enough. It's generally better to use update-manager
[03:57] <twisties> Pelo: Which also means to run it i need an open terminal in the background somewhere which is a pain
[03:57] <soundray> !upgrade | ||cw
[03:57] <ubotu> ||cw: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[03:57] <kenthomson> Pelo, i can;t find it but let me ask there too
[03:57] <iratik> art_: apache2 is configured automatically - are not sure if its running - or do you need help getting started
[03:57] <Amaranth> eriklo: err, alright
[03:57] <art_> both:)
[03:57] <Amaranth> eriklo: might want to explain that next time, freaked me out :)
[03:57] <||cw> soundray: been bitten twice by that, restarted/crashed X server in the middle of the update
[03:58] <art_> im new in linux and need run server
[03:58] <Pelo> twisties,  go and ask the ppl at #beryl
[03:58] <soundray> ||cw: is a fresh install an option?
[03:58] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Pelo, i just rebooted, & the sound was set to the same level i had set it to! so alsamixer works! thanx
[03:58] <||cw> and "update-manager" generaly isn't availble on a server
[03:58] <diminthedam> Hello, when my kernel is updated via the AutoUpdater, do i still need to compile it (with menuconfig and make-kpkg) ?
[03:58] <||cw> though this one isn't
[03:58] <Pelo> gOLdenHaWK3D,  congrats
[03:58] <IdleOne> diminthedam: no
[03:59] <twisties> kenthomson: In beryl-settings under extras for Water effect
[03:59] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Pelo, :)
[03:59] <gOLdenHaWK3D> Pelo, thanx
[03:59] <jay> I got my drivers partially working (8.3.2)... fglrx fails to load though bcoz the system deletes fglrx.ko from /lib/modules/$(uname -r) when fglrx is blacklisted. If I copy it back there and restart the server, fglrx loads nicely. I've tried depmod -ae after copying the file and restarting GDM. that doesn't work
[03:59] <||cw> soundray: heh, I haven't "fresh installed" this one since debian sarge :D
[03:59] <iratik> art_: both questions could best be answered at #apache       1. To see if its running: "ps ax | grep apache" , to find the document root: you will need to find the default site : /etc/apache2/sites-enabled/000-default usually and the docroot will be listed inside
[03:59] <FaintofHeart> When I try to run games they lag even though my hardware should be able to handle them. They are choppy, but direct rendering is already enabled.
[03:59] <iratik> Anyone up for private - there is a problem I have concerning information i cannot publicly divulge ?
[03:59] <ddude> the wow is now....haha yeah right. Worst of Windows. but guys, thanks for your input. laterz
[03:59] <FaintofHeart> I have the correct drivers installed.
[03:59] <Pelo> later
[03:59] <art_> #apache
[03:59] <art_> ah
[03:59] <art_> join
[03:59] <art_> kk
[03:59] <kenthomson> twisties, what does that water effect do, i can;t see no difference
[03:59] <soundray> ||cw: I went from sarge to dapper, then did a fresh install with edgy. Much smoother than the upgraded installation...
[04:00] <ushaba> I have a kernel question
[04:00] <Lunar_Lamp> kenthomson, you need to "trigger" it.  It has a shortcut key but I can't remember what it is.
[04:00] <kenthomson> twisties, also for rain i can so no difference on enablind it, i mean when are all effects implemened, when does it rain?
[04:00] <diminthedam> IdleOne: thanks
[04:00] <bXi> shift-f9
[04:00] <twisties> kenthomson: You have to set a key / mouse button comination to make it work. its like dragging a stick through a pond. it makes ripples
[04:00] <ushaba> I'm running ubuntu edgy 32 bit on a 64 bit system
[04:00] <||cw> soundray: yeah, except for the update takes and hour and fresh install takes a day for me to be productive again
[04:00] <kenthomson> Lunar_Lamp, could you point me to some resource that has structured information on various plugins to help me select the good ones, HOW DO I GET FIRE?
[04:00] <ushaba> I'm curious if using another kernel than the stock 386 would destroy anything?
[04:00] <bXi> if your video card doesnt support pixel shaders you wont see the rain effect tho
[04:01] <kenthomson> twisties, where do i set it
[04:01] <twisties> checking now ;)
[04:01] <twisties> kenthomson: Which version of beryl are you using?
[04:01] <||cw> ushaba: the "generic" kernel is what you want
[04:02] <twisties> Ken: continue in #beryl im in there
[04:02] <soundray> ||cw: yeah, except that your upgrade wrecked things apparently
[04:02] <||cw> soundray: not too badly, it's still usable
[04:02] <Twinviper> afternoon all
[04:02] <guitaro> hello is anyone having any problems with "The following packages have been kept back:linux-image-386 linux-restricted-modules-386" Is this anything I should be worried about? thanks
[04:02] <guitaro> during the update
[04:03] <||cw> soundray: though the more likely cause was me switching from gnome to xfce and uninstalling as much of the gnome stuff as I could
[04:03] <ushaba> I do that every time
[04:03] <ushaba> haha
[04:03] <Niklazz> ive gut a problem with an unknown frequency by trying to enter the ubuntu setup - plz hlp
[04:04] <Twinviper> is ubuntu easy to install /setup? im a linux virgin... will all my progs work in it?
[04:04] <soundray> ||cw: /sbin/runlevel is provided by either sysvinit or upstart-compat-sysv, hope that helps
[04:04] <||cw> Twinviper: very easy,as long as you don't have really weird hardware (but then that can apply to Windows as well)
[04:04] <kritzstapf> whats wrong with http://phpfi.com/201540?
[04:04] <iratik> Anyone up for private - there is a problem I have concerning information i cannot publicly divulge ?
[04:04] <brk3> high-freq, alacarte is crashing on me for some reason and has erased my menus, is there a way to restore them?
[04:04] <IdleOne> Twinviper: all your windows program may or may not work using Wine as for the setup it is pretty staright forward
[04:04] <||cw> soundray: I'll try switching to upstart, thanks.
[04:05] <GaiaX11> Twinviper: Which programs?
[04:05] <Twinviper> got an nforcr mobo radeon 9500 is that wierd devices?
[04:05] <asdfj> it's alright iratik, we are all friends here :-)
[04:05] <Amaranth> brk3: rm ~/.config/menus/applications.menu ~/.config/menus/settings.menu
[04:05] <soundray> Twinviper: first question: yes, ubuntu is a good choice for a linux beginner, second question: no, if you want to run Windows software, you're best off sticking with Windows
[04:05] <kuw88> gi to all
[04:05] <kuw88> hi to all
[04:05] <Amaranth> !hi | kuw88
[04:05] <ushaba> I'm not sure ubuntu is the best choice for beginners either though...
[04:05] <ubotu> kuw88: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:05] <Niklazz> My TFT Monitor has an problem to enter the ubuntu setup, it says theres an unknown Frequency - PLZ HLP
[04:05] <ushaba> sort of a middle of the road user
[04:05] <brk3> Amaranth, thanks alot that worked perfect
[04:06] <Amaranth> Niklazz: did you try starting the install in safe graphics mode?
[04:06] <kuw88> where can i found program for ubuntu
[04:06] <Twinviper> soundray: i want to learn / use a new OS cos i find it continually unappealing to be a windows user
[04:06] <IdleOne> ushaba: untrue! due to the incredible community we have here it makes being a newbie alot easier :)
[04:06] <GaiaX11> Twinviper: Are you using ubuntu?
[04:06] <guitaro> ubuntu, mepis, pclinux are great newbie distros, just try them all out
