[21:15] <Bupuntu> when i reinstalled from scrap the 7.10.... the program doesnt work anymore
[21:15] <massctrl> hello I replaced a videocard and now xorg isn't starting anymore, .. how can I automatically reconfigure the x env like it does on installation?
[21:15] <Bupuntu> anyone knows how could that be possible?
[21:15] <soundray> digitalvaldosta: I don't think that's a permissions issue
[21:15] <erUSUL> massctrl: try 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg'
[21:16] <scguy318> massctrl: dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[21:16] <scguy318> massctrl: at the Recovery Console

[21:16] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about compiz-fuzion - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[21:16] <rapbus> anyone get emerald themes to work in gutsy? apparently the emerald-themes package has been "obsoleted"
[21:16] <massctrl> ath the recovery console?
[21:16] <scguy318> massctrl: yes
[21:16] <massctrl> you can choose that in grub ?
[21:16] <digitalvaldosta> so it could be an issue with the fact that I installed 7.04 and upgraded to 7.10 back in september
[21:16] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: Having the same problem. Everything seems installed ok. Vlc can't play. Dunno. I just gave up for now.
[21:16] <scguy318> massctrl: yes
[21:16] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> hi guys, I'm using a bttv capture card connected to an analog camera and the video resulting from that camera is a bit weird:  the bottom half of the video is green and the top half is in grayscale.... anyone know how to fix?
[21:16] <scguy318> massctrl: it should be an entry in the GRUB menu
[21:16] <rabidweezle> jebblue, so it would be gzip $i; done ?
[21:17] <rapbus> Oni-Dracula|lapp, just tell people you're a NYU film grad :)
[21:17] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, ok :(
[21:17] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: What little I looked into it, it seems to be a new problem with gutsy.

[21:17] <jebblue> rabidweele for i in /bin; do gzip $i; done i think
[21:17] <jebblue> rabidweezle chg bin for your dir
[21:17] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, my friend goes crazy here because it doesn't work but in Feisty it does work
[21:17] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: Try installing and playing with vlc. Try installing xine (looks like you might have already).
[21:17] <rabidweezle> k
[21:17] <piglit> how can i check which program is using my soundcard xmms is telling me another program is using the soundcard so i wont be able to use the soundcard with xmms
[21:17] <soundray> digitalvaldosta: possibly. nautilus stores the thumbnails in ~/.thumbnails -- check that directory, especially the 'fail' subdirectory.
[21:17] <juano__> frost0: ok, im trying to make you all in one script
[21:17] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, true he has it
[21:17] <juano__> frost0: its nicer ;)
[21:17] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> rapbus, yeah..unfortunately that doesn't help me with installing a security system
[21:18] <frost0> juano__, thx
[21:18] <rapbus> hehe
[21:18] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: I know. It's strange.
[21:18] <Masterslave> gxine and totem crashes and vlc does play dvd but with 10fps/sec or something
[21:18] <VSpike> rabidweezle: find *.bsp -exec gzip {} \;
[21:18] <rapbus> if I had any experience with video, I'd help ya out..
[21:18] <Mikey_> any1 installed avant window nav?
[21:18] <digitalvaldosta> fail?
[21:18] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: If you use VLC to play the dvd you can choose view messages, which might help you track down the issue
[21:18] <mEck0> is it possible to mix mp3-tracks in Ardour?
[21:18] <jebblue> VSike thats the fancy way hehe
[21:19] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: >view>messages, then ttry and open dvd
[21:19] <VSpike> jebblue: I'm trying to learn to make more use of find :)
[21:19] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, ok thanks btb

[21:19] <SmS|Schorsch>  #SmS-DT
[21:19] <Oli``> Anyone here on Firefox 3b1? Anything to report? Worth being an early adopter?
[21:19] <jebblue> VSpike yup i agree it is more flexible especially in scripts if you can remember {} \;
[21:20] <rapbus> Oli``, I have it on my desktop back home, but I had to leave town before getting down and dirty with it
[21:20] <rapbus> it seems alright from a cursory glance
[21:20] <rapbus> but nothing strikingly different
[21:20] <soundray> Oli``: there's an article about it on LWN
[21:20] <rapbus> anyone get emerald working in gutsy?
[21:20] <taz_> hi i need ur help where i can find wobbly ??
[21:21] <m0zg_> my english is bad, i have  pc with mb epox rda3+ with cmedia cmi9739 audio chip on it. i install kubuntu 7.10? vut when i listen music i hear noise of music. can somebody help me ?

[21:21] <threethirty> hello all
[21:21] <digitalvaldosta> rapbus yeah.
[21:21] <taz_> please
[21:21] <Oli``> ^ to your question
[21:21] <VSpike> jebblue: yeah took me ages to remember that part
[21:21] <rapbus> where did you find the themes package?
[21:21] <rapbus> that's the only part I'm having problems with
[21:21] <VSpike> jebblue: you can also do ls *.bsp | xargs gzip
[21:21] <digitalvaldosta> taz:: wobbly
[21:21] <taz_> yes
[21:21] <rapbus> apt says it was obsoleted
[21:21] <Oli``> rapbus: you need to add the non-gpl one
[21:22] <jebblue> rabidweezle for future ref VSoke has the better way using the find command also with the one i gave you use /dir/*.bsp to be more precise
[21:22] <Oli``> *the non gpl repo
[21:22] <rapbus> aha
[21:22] <BTaylor> Hey, I'm setting up a pretty barebones Ubuntu box on a PC which was given to me by a friend. It's going to have an ATI Radeon 7000 PCI with 64mb of ram. Does 3d acceleration work with this in ubuntu?
[21:22] <Denyerec> Why does the user/group manager hide a load of users and groups from you ?
[21:22] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, no errors in message from vlc
[21:22] <threethirty> i just dist-updated my laptop to gutsy and now my inetl wireless doent seem to work, I can see AP's but not connect, any ideas?
[21:22] <jebblue> oops that was VSpike sorry
[21:22] <juano__> frost0: ok got it
[21:22] <max_> can anyone tell how to fix bordless windows in emerald (Gutsy/Ati X700 radeon mobile video)
[21:22] <m0zg_> my english is bad, i have  pc with mb epox rda3+ with cmedia cmi9739 audio chip on it. i install kubuntu 7.10, but when i listen music i hear noise of music. can somebody help me ?
[21:22] <kyled185> I tried to install the kde4 RC1 as posted in the topic, now apt is messed up with tons of unmet dependencies and is failing to install when the dependencies are explicitly specified.  Now I can't even apt-get upgrade is there a way to fix this?
[21:22] <jebblue> VSpike ah xargs thats one i never used much for some reason or other
[21:23] <rapbus> do you know what it is?
[21:23] <digitalvaldosta> taz:: do you mean the wobbly effect that comes with the new compiz fusion effects in 7.10
[21:23] <kyled185> er as posted in the topic in #kubuntu
[21:23] <BTaylor> m0zg_: Onboard usually isn't so good
[21:23] <rapbus> or I'll google it
[21:23] <Tomi_G> juano__: any other ideas? :S
[21:23] <VSpike> jebblue: me either
[21:23] <frost0> juano__, shweet
[21:23] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, he has give it up he is going to install gusy again
[21:23] <VSpike> jebblue: looks quite handy though
[21:23] <BTaylor> Do you have a PCI card that you can use?
[21:23] <taz_> wobbly windows
[21:23] <threethirty> max_: did you clean install or upgrade and are you using beryl or compiz fusion
[21:23] <VSpike> jebblue: nice to ask a question and get 3 answers hey? :)
[21:23] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, i had the same problem feww minutes ago but i've fixed it with this command
[21:23] <jebblue> lol
[21:23] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, sudo apt-get install libdvdread3 libxine1-ffmpeg totem-xine
[21:23] <max_> threethirty: clean install, beryl
[21:23] <hellonull> pidgin 2.2.2 has been out for awhile but it hasn't made it into the gutsy repos, would it be proper protocol to file a bug on launchpad for this?
[21:24] <ikonia> hellonull: not really a bug
[21:24] <CochiseIRL> kyled185, you could try removing kde4 rc1, i was just testing it out and when its released on 11 dec im switching i liked iit alot
[21:24] <Oli``> rapbus: like so: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=3563998&postcount=20
[21:24] <hellonull> ikonia: i didnt think so, but someone in #pidgin suggested that i do that
[21:24] <ikonia> hellonull: you could do , but it seems a bit provocotive
[21:24] <soundray> hellonull: you can file a bug of course, but I don't think it'll have any effect.
[21:24] <juano__> frost0: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45414/
[21:24] <rapbus> Oli``, haha I was already at that page :)
[21:24] <digitalvaldosta> taz::  you have to open synaptic package manager (which is under system -- administration) and then search for advanced desktop effects settings. that will be put under preferences in the menu after install.
[21:24] <soundray> !highno | hellonull
[21:24] <ubotu> hellonull: A higher version number does not mean that it's better. Especially with packages such as the linux kernel. The packages in the Ubuntu repositories are stable and will work fine. You should have a better reason than "newer" when considering compiling from source or using 3rd party repos.
[21:24] <rapbus> thanks for your help
[21:24] <ikonia> hellonull: its one of the draw backs from quick release distros like ubuntu is that its a wasted of effort to upgrade packages as a general rule
[21:24] <taz_> seem no one help... guess that ok
[21:24] <frost0> juano__, where do i add this?
[21:24] <frost0> juano__, and how?
[21:25] <taz_> opsd
[21:25] <taz_> opps
[21:25] <ikonia> taz_: ask the question
[21:25] <juano__> frost0: you save this in a file in your home dir for example
[21:25] <m0zg_> BTaylor: but in win all good? i dont kwon what can i do to make all good in kubuntu
[21:25] <rapbus> taz_, the package is called compizconfig-settings-manager
[21:25] <Oli``> rapbus: awesome, yeah I was banging my head against a wall for quit a long time trying to figure out why the non-gpl button wasn't working
[21:25] <digitalvaldosta> TAZ
[21:25] <ikonia> taz_: opps ?
[21:25] <rapbus> or something like that
[21:25] <kyled185> CochiseIRL, I tried, but apt is too screwed up, it complains about unmet dependencies -- even when I try to uninstall things
[21:25] <threethirty> max_: you have me beat, i didn't know there we beryl packages for gutsy, you might want to be sure that emerald is installed and that it is running beyond that I have no clue
[21:25] <rapbus> Oli``, well the GPL button isn't working in mine
[21:25] <CochiseIRL> kyled185, try using aptitude instead
[21:25] <juano__> frost0: call it game.sh or something
[21:25] <taz_> my mistake i talk other screen .. anyway
[21:25] <digitalvaldosta> taz::  you have to open synaptic package manager (which is under system -- administration) and then search for advanced desktop effects settings. that will be put under preferences in the menu after install.
[21:25] <Oli``> rapbus: no, there aren't any GPL themes
[21:25] <Tomi_G> juano__: any other ideas? :S
[21:25] <rapbus> that's what I figured
[21:25] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: Yeah, I've got those installed and still can't play dvd
[21:25] <juano__> frost0: then chmod +x game.sh
[21:25] <digitalvaldosta> taz::  you have to open synaptic package manager (which is under system -- administration) and then search for advanced desktop effects settings. that will be put under preferences in the menu after install.
[21:25] <digitalvaldosta> taz::  you have to open synaptic package manager (which is under system -- administration) and then search for advanced desktop effects settings. that will be put under preferences in the menu after install.
[21:25] <rapbus> haha because it would search for half a second and stop
[21:26] <scguy318> !ccsm | taz
[21:26] <ubotu> taz: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[21:26] <threethirty> is anyone interested in my intel wireless issue
[21:26] <taz_> yes raphbus the package is called compizconfig-settings-manager
[21:26] <scguy318> taz: is that what you're looking for?
[21:26] <ikonia> threethirty: just ask
[21:26] <juano__> frost0: then when you run that script it will disable compiz, gnome desktop , run the game, then wait for you to exit the game, then press enter and gdm and compiz will start again
[21:26] <digitalvaldosta> taz::  you have to open synaptic package manager (which is under system -- administration) and then search for advanced desktop effects settings. that will be put under preferences in the menu after install.
[21:26] <Dirtbag> i have intel wireless isssue too
[21:26] <max_> threethirty: :)) undstd... im sure that emerald is installed and running :)))) but thx anyway
[21:26] <hellonull> soundray: does a security fix warrant "newer being better"?
[21:26] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, mmm strange he also, but he has installed alot of other packages including ubuntu-restriced things
[21:26] <taz_> ok let me check
[21:26] <taz_> brb
[21:26] <ikonia> hellonull: security can be a valid reason to provide an upgrade
[21:27] <rapbus> sweet, it's downloading the themes
[21:27] <rapbus> thanks :)
[21:27] <digitalvaldosta> 8-)
[21:27] <CochiseIRL> kyled185, did aptitude work for you?
[21:27] <threethirty> ikonia: I did, no reply figured if there was interest that they would scoll up, and i figured people would be upset with me posting it again
[21:27] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, can you tell me which VGA you have?
[21:27] <Masterslave> + driver
[21:27] <ikonia> threethirty: well I can't help then as I don't have any buffer enabled
[21:27] <kyled185> CochiseIRL, I'm trying it, I did an apt-get clean all and now it has to re-download everything
[21:27] <BTaylor> m0zg_: You could try upgrading ALSA
[21:27] <Dirtbag> threethirty: whats is your problem?
[21:27] <ikonia> threethirty: and I missed your question
[21:28] <soundray> hellonull: yes. Like I said, do feel free to file a wishlist bug. If you include a report on a security hole, make sure it hasn't been fixed in the Ubuntu-current version with a distribution patch.
[21:28] <threethirty> iknonia: fair point sry
[21:28] <CochiseIRL> kyled185, you should remove all kde4 things using aptitude first then try reinstalling it
[21:28] <BTaylor> Speaking of C-Media, does a C-Media CMI8738 PCI work in ubuntu?
[21:28] <frost0> juano__, awesome
[21:28] <stephan22> Hello. Are there any news about an official solution by the ubuntu-team for the CRITICAL launchpad-bug #129910 (no tty-consoles in gutsy)?
[21:28] <ikonia> BTaylor: check the compatability list
[21:28] <digitalvaldosta> Just to let some of you know if you are new to linux and ubuntu you may not want to upgrade to the next release until it is officially released. I did that and it worked, kinda, but some features are buggy. So I have to reinstall my machine :D
[21:28] <ikonia> stephan22: check the bug report
[21:29] <BTaylor> ikonia: No mention of C-Media
[21:29] <ikonia> digitalvaldosta: please don't talk nonsense
[21:29] <hellonull> soundray: it is a libpurple security hole
[21:29] <BTaylor> (Despite it being a damn good card)
[21:29] <ikonia> digitalvaldosta: gutsy is fine to upgrade
[21:29] <juano__> frost0: should work, maybe the compiz loading part needs some extra stuff but its getting there
[21:29] <threethirty> Dirtbag, i dist-upgraded to gutsy and now my intel wireless is seeing AP's but cant connect and it was fine in feisty and i used it in part of the upgrade
[21:29] <juano__> frost0: maybe it doesnt :P
[21:29] <frost0> juano__, i'll try..
[21:29] <Cpudan80> Is there any way to disable error beeps in ubuntu?
[21:29] <ikonia> threethirty:how did you use it for only part of the upgrade
[21:30] <grindcore> when i boot ubuntu cd
[21:30] <Cpudan80> Like if I backspace all the way to the beginning of the line -- it fires off the system beep -- can I turn that off somehow?
[21:30] <stephan22> ikonia: i did check it. so i have to do the workaround manually? no official sollution?
[21:30] <digitalvaldosta> no i mean that if you upgrade into a release canidate not the official release. I did that when 7.10 wasn't officially released back in sept
[21:30] <ikonia> stephan22: the bug is the official log
[21:30] <soundray> Cpudan80: yes: System-Preferences-Sound
[21:30] <Tomi_G> juano__: any other ideas? :(
[21:30] <juano__> frost0: if i understood clearly, you want to close Gnome desktop manager also right ?
[21:30] <jebblue> Cpudan80 system | prefs never mind hehe
[21:30] <juano__> Tomi_G: mm... let me think
[21:30] <kyled185> Cpudan80, at the end of /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist put "blacklist pcspkr"
[21:30] <ldrada> Hi, what was the gnome-app for editing "advanced" settings?
[21:30] <ikonia> stephan22: if the official log has not solution why would a group or random people on irc have an official solution
[21:30] <Captain_> #list
[21:30] <threethirty> ikonia: some of the packages that I was upgrading werent on the gutsy CD
[21:30] <Captain_> #exit
[21:30] <noclue-man> what's the best way to connect two linux boxes through a wireless router?
[21:31] <m0zg_> BTaylor: this audio chip exist from 2003. do you think that new alsa(newer than in 7.10 ) can help me ??
[21:31] <ikonia> thelanlegend: you used the cd to upgrade ?
[21:31] <frost0> juano__, free up as much as possible..
[21:31] <ikonia> noclue-man: a wirless network ?
[21:31] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: What is vga?
[21:31] <threethirty> noclue-man: i use Samba, but NFS would work too
[21:31] <frost0> juano__, so yah..
[21:31] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, your graphics vard
[21:31] <Masterslave> card
[21:31] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: I have confirmed my dvd player has correct region with regionset
[21:31] <frost0> juano__, as long as it is restored...
[21:31] <BTaylor> m0zg_: It's possible
[21:31] <Cpudan80> jebblue kyled185 -- Found it, system, perfs, sound
[21:31] <Tomi_G> juano__: take your time :=
[21:31] <Cpudan80> "Enable system beep"
[21:31] <noclue-man> but how do you configure so the boxes recogize each other?
[21:31] <ArthurArchnix> Masterslave: It's an intergrated intel, but this is not a graphics problem
[21:32] <ArthurArchnix> Ripped dvd's play.
[21:32] <m0zg_> BTaylor: i don't think so
[21:32] <Masterslave> ok, just in case...
[21:32] <juano__> frost0: cause actually this will close your login manager also, so you would have to login again
[21:32] <jebblue> Cpudan80 cool
[21:32] <Masterslave> ArthurArchnix, its very strange :(
[21:32] <eugman> Is a live cd a viable way of dealing with an untrusted computer and the possibility of things like keyloggers?
[21:32] <threethirty> noclue-man: just set up shared folders
[21:32] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: your question? i just popped in here
[21:32] <soundray> noclue-man: you connect them both to the router in infrastructure mode. Then you can talk to one from the other, using the IP address.
[21:32] <ikonia> eugman: no
[21:32] <frost0> juano__, huh
[21:32] <Dirtbag> Does an internal wireless card have a weaker signal than a external one?
[21:32] <BTaylor> m0zg: You do occaisionally get versions of ALSA that for some reason are buggy with certain cards
[21:32] <ikonia> Dirtbag: no
[21:32] <ArthurArchnix> scguy318: Masterslave and I are trying to run down a problem playing dvd's in gutsy.
[21:32] <frost0> juano, i'll try it and see how it works...brb
[21:32] <kyled185> eugman, it will bypass software keyloggers
[21:32] <juano__> frost0: so gdm isnt a good option
[21:32] <BloodyTux> How do I edit the boot options
[21:33] <soundray> Dirtbag: depends on the antenna
[21:33] <BloodyTux> so XP is first
[21:33] <juano__> frost0: we got to change that
[21:33] <frost0> juano__, okay go ahead...
[21:33] <ArthurArchnix> scguy318: I've installed everycodec known to man, every player, and confirmed my region.
[21:33] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: you have libdvdcss2 installed?
[21:33] <ikonia> BloodyTux: change the default value in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[21:33] <frost0> juano__, i've got time...but do you?
[21:33] <niux> if my computer crashed, it there a log somewhere with a detailed description of what went wrong?
[21:33] <eugman> ikonia, kyled185 , well you'd need encryption to avoid somone watching on the network.
[21:33] <ikonia> niux: there maybe in /var/log/message
[21:33] <soundray> BloodyTux: don't change the order -- use the default option like ikonia says
[21:33] <ArthurArchnix> scguy318: sudo apt-getinstall libdvdcdss2 returns an error saying that it is referred to by another package.
[21:33] <BloodyTux> K.
[21:33] <ikonia> eugman: why are you telling us this ? you asked the question not us
[21:33] <noclue-man> soundray: I'm able to ping the ip in one direction, but not the other,
[21:33] <scguy318> !medibuntu | ArthurArchnix
[21:33] <ubotu> ArthurArchnix: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[21:33] <mikefoo> Hey, anyone suggest a retailer that I can purchase a home server, a barebone would be good.
[21:33] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: you'll need this
[21:33] <frost0> juano, my main goal is to close as many unneeded apps as possible and then restore them after the game...
[21:33] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: to install libdvdcss2
[21:34] <grindcore> when i boot from ubuntu 7.10 i386 - i can select just install in text mode and another which is not god - if i select this text mode, after install i would be able to use graphic enviroment
[21:34] <frost0> juano__, my main goal is to close as many unneeded apps as possible and then restore them after the game...
[21:34] <ikonia> mikefoo: this is ubuntu support from all over the world, not hardware vendor recommendations
[21:34] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: libdvdread3 tries to dynamically look for libdvdcss2 when encountering a CSS-protected DVD
[21:34] <soundray> noclue-man: that's untypical. Maybe a router setting prevents it?
[21:34] <ikonia> grindcore: yes you can use the graphics mode
[21:34] <mikefoo> ikonia: im just asking for a site to buy a damn PC.. its not that serious..
[21:34] <mikefoo> I never said anything about "hardware" support
[21:34] <ikonia> mikefoo: this is a support channel, we don't know what country yuour in
[21:34] <ikonia> mikefoo: hardware support is asking for recommendations
[21:34] <mikefoo> im in the US  =)
[21:34] <juano__> frost0: mm yep... well actually closing gnome isnt necesary i think
[21:34] <ikonia> mikefoo: its a support channel only for ubuntu OS
[21:34] <threethirty> mikefoo: id sugest system76.com
[21:35] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Medibuntu#head-7486ed038a9becc1dff10a24cc07a38a00d70e9f
[21:35] <juano__> frost0: i think what really matters is compiz
[21:35] <mikefoo> threethirty: thank you!  =)
[21:35] <ldrada> Does anybody know the name of the gnome app that lets users configure "advanced" options for gnome-apps?
[21:35] <nomojob> juano__: just rebooted and it still didnt fix the problem with the Error 21.  I then re-installed Ubuntu and it still gives me the error!  Should I just give up on Ubuntu?
[21:35] <Dirtbag> soundray: Do you have any idea why I would have to be ~20ft closer to the AP w/ubuntu than I do with xp?
[21:35] <jimjam> I think I just gave every file on my system rwxrwxrwx permissions. Did I hose my system?
[21:35] <ikonia> Dirtbag: not as good a driver ?
[21:35] <ikonia> jimjam: what permissions, what command did you use
[21:35] <hoarycripple> hello.  on a dual monitor configuration is there any way to get *different* framebuffer console on each monitor?  As it is whatever is displayed on monitor 0 is also displayed on monitor 1.
[21:35] <BloodyTux> How do I set the default?
[21:35] <ikonia> hoarycripple: I don't think its that advanced at the moment
[21:35] <ArthurArchnix> scguy318: I hadn't done that. I think a reboot is required.
[21:35] <jimjam> ikonia It was definitely a chmod 777 command.
[21:35] <frost0> juano__, okay...its compiz fusion if that changes anything..
[21:36] <juano__> nomojob: no, you may need to reinstall grub
[21:36] <ikonia> jimjam: yup
[21:36] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: you don't need to reboot I think, but whatever does it
[21:36] <frost0> juano__, any other system apps that may be hogs you can think of?
[21:36] <ikonia> jimjam: thats a pretty dangerous set of permissions
[21:36] <juano__> frost0: then delete the gdm line
[21:36] <hoarycripple> ikonia, ok.  thank you.
[21:36] <juano__> frost0: all the same except both gdm lines
[21:36] <jimjam> ikonia Any way to get the default permissions back, or do I reach for my restore disk?
[21:36] <Reng> can any donate me some money, i really want to get a macbook pro, so i can show it off to the chicks at starbucks. hehe
[21:36] <soundray> Dirtbag: Windows drivers tend to be better, because the manufacturers write them themselves. Linux driver authors have to guess at hardware internals, therefore they often cannot make full use of the hardware's capabilities.
[21:36] <ikonia> jimjam: I sugges a restore
[21:36] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: with libdvdcss2 the region of your DVD player does not matter I believe
[21:36] <nomojob> is there a good tutorial for that that you know of?  I followed one earlier, but it didnt help.
[21:36] <Oli``> hoarycripple: I assume you've got a proper graphics card? as in nvidia/ati? install the restricted drivers and use the included config that comes with that
[21:36] <jimjam> ikonia Oh, how I love learning.
[21:36] <ikonia> jimjam: sorry
[21:36] <jimjam> ikonia: it's so much fun!
[21:36] <soundray> Dirtbag: consider asking your hardware supplier for better Linux support.
[21:37] <jimjam> ikonia: Oh, no, this is probably a good thing.
[21:37] <nomojob> juano__: is there a good tutorial for that that you know of?  I followed one earlier, but it didnt help.
[21:37] <frost0> juano__, so you think i should be good with just disabling compiz?
[21:37] <juano__> frost0: i guess compiz is the real hog, cause it rides on opengl like a b3*ss2*
[21:37] <RobJ> Hi!  I'm trying to login to my ubuntu but i am getting a 'session lasted less than 10 seconds' message.  I installed Ubuntu in OEM mode, and used 'sudo oem-config' in terminal to setup my new account. Any advice on solving my login problem? Thanks
[21:37] <juano__> frost0: i think so
[21:37] <Dirtbag> ikonia: oh, i have an intel 3945, and am using ipw driver, should i change it.
[21:37] <juano__> !grub | nomojob
[21:37] <ubotu> nomojob: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[21:37] <Dirtbag> soundray: ooh i see
[21:37] <ikonia> Dirtbag: are there other drivers available ?
[21:37] <frost0> juano__, i just wanted to add as much as possible...so i could use all my 768mb of ram..
[21:37] <BloodyTux> How do I set the default option for menu.lst?
[21:38] <juano__> frost0: well shutting down compiz will help indeed
[21:38] <ikonia> BloodyTux: edit the file /boot/grub/menu.list and the option "Default" is the default os it will boot
[21:38] <Dirtbag> ikonia: i have no idea, im a linux newbie
[21:38] <ikonia> Dirtbag: then no
[21:38] <alexmatos> My laptop does not automatically decrease the monitor brightness when running on batteries. I can do it using Fn keys. The laptop is an HP Compaq Presario V6000. Can anybody help?
[21:38] <jimjam> ikonia: Would you recommend untarring from the recovery setup?
[21:38] <ikonia> jimjam: untarring ? what are you talking about
[21:38] <ArthurArchnix> Who was I talking to about playing dvd's a moment ago?
[21:38] <BejeweledPudenda> I want to install k9copy v. 1.2.0 -- how can I do that?  debian-multimedia respository has broken dependenicies.
[21:38] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: me and someone else
[21:38] <soundray> BloodyTux: open the file with 'gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst', find the line that says 'default 0' and change it to the number of your Windows entry (start counting at 0)
[21:39] <juano__> nomojob: how many disks do you have ? sudo fdisk -l , pastebin me that
[21:39]  * ArthurArchnix bows and thanks scguy318
[21:39] <frost0> juano__, sweet....one more thing...my video card is getting funky with the new drivers i have nvidia 6600...and it runs at 51-53 degress celcius...which isn't a problem...but it just craps out after a while...
[21:39] <ArthurArchnix> scguy318: Worked like a charm
[21:39] <Oli``> alexmatos: sounds like a special driver thing... I could be wrong though
[21:39] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: cool
[21:39] <jimjam> ikonia: Sorry. I got it figured out. Thanks for your help
[21:39] <frost0> juano__, i play a game and it just quits randomly..
[21:39] <SevenIsPrime> BejeweledPudenda: You do not use Debian repositories for Ubuntu.
[21:39] <kazol> Could someone please help me with an issue with ndiswrapper?
[21:39] <frost0> juano__, i just wish i new what driver worked and where i can get it..
[21:40] <juano__> frost0: mmm... i enabled the restricted driver that came at ubuntu install
[21:40] <scguy318> BejeweledPudenda: why do you need Debian repos? it's in the Ubuntu repos
[21:40] <juano__> frost0: nvidia 5500 here
[21:40] <nananuu> hi I have a qustion why my desktop is geting black after 10 min but my screen server turns on only after 2 hours ho can I disable the black screen who apers after 10 min?
[21:40] <juano__> frost0: 256
[21:40] <frost0> juano__, 256?
[21:40] <Nirevus> I'm installing Ubuntu onto an acer Aspire 1360 for a family member. However, I can't access wireless networking on it. "lshw -C network" identifies everything correctly but Administration > Network only shows wired and modem. Any thoughts? It's using a VT6102 Rhine II and an AirConn IPN 2220 Wireless Adaptor
[21:40] <BloodyTux> ikonia, Is it the default      0?
[21:40] <juano__> frost0: 256 MB yea
[21:40] <ArthurArchnix> scguy318: I guess I just assumed it was taken care of by libdvdread3 and ubuntu-restricted-extras
[21:40] <BloodyTux> wait
[21:40] <frost0> juano__, yep same..
[21:40] <BloodyTux> nvm
[21:40] <BloodyTux> Sorry.
[21:40] <Tomi_G> juano__: did you think of something?
[21:40] <ikonia> BloodyTux: thats the default "0" that is the first option in menu.list "1" would be second "2" the third etc
[21:40] <Oli``> nananuu: System > Prefs > Screensavers > Power
[21:41] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: I understand, a pity libdvdcss2 has to be buried behind a repo
[21:41] <BloodyTux> Thanks
[21:41] <Dirtbag> ikonia: so would the driver also cause it to constantly disconnect but keep signal strength?
[21:41] <tom__> hi all, im trying to boot ubuntu from a usb hard drive via a direct install, however when it boots i just get the word "grub" on the screen and then it bails out, any ideas?
[21:41] <alexmatos> Oli``, it worked on Gutsy, but its not working in Feisty
[21:41]  * BloodyTux is blonde today
[21:41] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: but its the legal climate
[21:41] <ikonia> Dirtbag: maybe, maybe thats your access point, who knows
[21:41] <spiderfire> is there music player that can use new winamp skins?
[21:41] <ikonia> spiderfire: xmms
[21:41] <frost0> juano__, maybe it is just lack of ram forcing me out of game..
[21:41] <alexmatos> Oli``, it's probably some module I have to load
[21:41] <CochiseIRL> spiderfire, audacious
[21:41] <spiderfire> ikonia: new skins?
[21:41] <ikonia> spiderfire: sorry, xmms2 but its early/stalled development
[21:41] <juano__> frost0: 768 ? , mmm 512 ram here
[21:42] <alexmatos> Oli``, the question is 'which'
[21:42] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> hi guys, I'm using a bttv capture card connected to an analog camera and the video resulting from that camera is a bit weird:  the bottom half of the video is green and the top half is in grayscale.... anyone know how to fix?
[21:42] <frost0> juano__, brb i'm going to try it out..
[21:42] <ArthurArchnix> scguy318: Yeah. Looks like I can install w32codecs now as well.
[21:42] <tom__> anyone help me please?
[21:42] <juano__> frost0: sure.. give it a try
[21:42] <frost0> juano__, thx for your help...
[21:42] <ikonia> tom__: help with what
[21:42] <juano__> frost0: no prob, come back ne time
[21:42] <nananuu> Oli``,  On Ac Power is both turnd never
[21:42] <ikonia> tom__: you have to ask a question to get help
[21:42] <tom__>  im trying to boot ubuntu from a usb hard drive via a direct install, however when it boots i just get the word "grub" on the screen and then it bails out, any ideas?
[21:42] <juano__> Tomi_G: mm i really wouldnt know... checked !grub
[21:42] <truckin> tom__: ensure your system bios is set to boot from USB
[21:42] <soundray> spiderfire: have a look at audacity -- not sure if it'll work with the skins, but it's the most actively developed fork of xmms
[21:42] <Dirtbag> ikonia: is there a way to test which it could be?
[21:42] <juano__> !grub | Tomi_G
[21:42] <ubotu> Tomi_G: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[21:42] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: yep
[21:42] <ikonia> Dirtbag: not really
[21:42] <m0zg_> my english is bad, i have  pc with mb epox rda3+ with cmedia cmi9739 audio chip on it. i install kubuntu 7.10, but when i try to  listen music i hear noise instead of music. can somebody help me ?
[21:42] <tom__> truckin: it boots, but hangs at the word grub
[21:42] <ikonia> Dirtbag: not easy
[21:42] <juano__> Tomi_G: it should be able to boot
[21:43] <juano__> Tomi_G: though you can try this before
[21:43] <mechung> anyone have any suggestions as to why when i embed a player in my website it wont autoplay?
[21:43] <ikonia> mechung: this is ubuntu support - not webdesign
[21:43] <juano__> Tomi_G: try hd0,0
[21:43] <P-avilion> i am new and trying to install webcam_server 0.50 i have downloaded it but dont really know what todo next, any help is appriciated
[21:43] <frost0> juano__, just remembered there is a ram hog dock i'm using called avant-window-navigator..
[21:43] <tom__> juano__: sorry, try hd0,0 as what?
[21:43] <ikonia> P-avilion: where did you download a web cam server from ?
[21:43] <soundray> tom__: apparently, grub can't see the root partition on your USB drive. Look at the install page (private message) and scroll down to USB installations
[21:44] <frost0> juano__, could iadd that to the line?
[21:44] <Oli``> mechung: because the plugin will never auto-play
[21:44] <soundray> !install > tom__
[21:44] <mechung> i know and im sorry but ive tried #web, flash , apache and now im here everyone says to go somewhere else
[21:44] <underdawg> would any of you know why I can ssh into a box but the vlc auth fails?
[21:44] <juano__> tom__	ahh sorry wrong contact
[21:44] <Nirevus> I'm installing Ubuntu onto an acer Aspire 1360 for a family member. However, I can't access wireless networking on it. "lshw -C network" identifies everything correctly but Administration > Network only shows wired and modem. Any thoughts? It's using a VT6102 Rhine II and an AirConn IPN 2220 Wireless Adaptor
[21:44] <ikonia> mechung: because this is ubuntu support - we don't support web design
[21:44] <_AxS_> kazol: hey -- ok so what exactly is the issue right now?
[21:44] <juano__> Tomi_G: try hd0,0
[21:44] <P-avilion> i closed the window im not sure of the site off hand
[21:44] <mechung> oli: how can i get it to autoplay? or is there a way??
[21:44] <ikonia> Nirevus: you need a 3rd party driver
[21:44] <Dirtbag> ikonia: oh ok  =(  ... most linux distros use same drivers?
[21:44] <scguy318> Nirevus: if there's no kernel module for your wireless adapter, you may need to use ndiswrapper
[21:44] <ikonia> P-avilion: read the documents on the product, or get support from the vendor
[21:44] <ikonia> Dirtbag: yes
[21:45] <Tomi_G> juano__: ok
[21:45] <kazol> _AxS_: I have to type in my WPA key everytime I boot into the Network Manager.
[21:45] <ikonia> Dirtbag: they all do
[21:45] <Oli``> mechung: private message
[21:45] <scguy318> Nirevus: does iwconfig say anything?
[21:45] <truckin> tom__: use the grub prompt to see exactly what media kernel has indeed loaded. ensure the usb device has a valid bootable image on it.
[21:45] <_AxS_> Dirtbag: we all use the same kernel
[21:45] <juano__> frost0: yep same as with compiz, only you put the process instead of compiz
[21:45] <frost0> juano__, if the program is run by "avant-window-navigator" what would i add the the .sh?
[21:45] <juano__> frost0: same 2 lines
[21:45] <nananuu> On Ac Power is both turned never but my screen turns black after eavery then idle minutus
[21:45] <tom__> truckin thanks, ill try again, 1 min ill run to the other room :D
[21:45] <_AxS_> kazol: yeah, of course.  try to find a way to save the key
[21:45] <kazol> _AxS_: It retains some sort of key when I open the manager, but after pasting the actual key and clicking ok, it works.
[21:45] <scguy318> !wireless | Nirevus
[21:45] <ubotu> Nirevus: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[21:45] <scguy318> Nirevus: if you haven't already seen this
[21:45] <juano__> frost0: same lines as compiz, instead of compiz put avant-window-navigator
[21:45] <underdawg> would any of you know why I can ssh into a box but the vlc auth fails?
[21:45] <alexmatos> My laptop does not automatically decrease the monitor brightness when running on batteries. I can do it using Fn keys. The laptop is an HP Compaq Presario V6000 running Feisty. This worked in Gutsy. Can anybody help?
[21:45] <delfos> what's the meaning of Aborted (core dumped)?
[21:45] <Dirtbag> _AxS_: oh ok
[21:46] <Nirevus> scguy318, ikonia: Thanks, let me run iwconfig and I'll get back to you
[21:46] <ikonia> underdawg: vlc server not setup correct ?
[21:46] <frost0> juano__, and i'm not on root account...is that okay with all the sudo lines on there...
[21:46] <nananuu> On Ac Power is both turned never but my screen turns black after eavery 10 idle minits how can i fix it?
[21:46] <underdawg> hehe
[21:46] <underdawg> ikonia: hrm
[21:46] <underdawg> okay
[21:46] <Nirevus> scguy318, ikonia: Just gives me no wireless extensions for both lo and eth0
[21:46] <frost0> juano__, i was told not to use the sudo account for security..
[21:46] <_AxS_> kazol: this is _extremely_ ubuntu related and afaik not related at all to your boot order or module loading..
[21:46] <juano__> Tomi_G: hopefully hd0,0 can boot, sometimes you need to remap drives when booting other OS, happened to me with archlinux
[21:46] <scguy318> Nirevus: as I thought
[21:46] <underdawg> I set up using ubuntuguides - setup guide
[21:46] <ikonia> Nirevus: thats because they are not your wirless cards
[21:46] <scguy318> Nirevus: you'll need to install ndiswrapper and obtain the Windows driver for your card
[21:46] <delfos> *Aborted (core dumped)?*
[21:46] <tom__> truckin: right, its not actually a grub prompt, its just the word grub :)
[21:46] <juano__> frost0: nope, the root account you cannot use, thats why you need to use sudo
[21:47] <Tomi_G> juano__: I don't know terms very well :)
[21:47] <ikonia> delfos: and ?
[21:47] <ikonia> delfos: thats not a question
[21:47] <scguy318> Nirevus: moment please
[21:47] <Nirevus> scguy318: Okay
[21:47] <delfos> what's the meaning of Aborted (core dumped)?
[21:47] <ikonia> delfos: it means your application has a serious fault and cannot run
[21:47] <delfos> ikonia: is that a question?
[21:47] <soundray> alexmatos: there are various ways in which display brightness control can be implemented in laptops.
[21:47] <scguy318> Nirevus: do you have wired connectivity at the moment?
[21:47] <_AxS_> Anyone here use ndiswrapper and for some reason have problems with the WPA key not saving??  how does kazol fix this?
[21:47] <truckin> delfos - core files are optionalluy generated  when something goes awry, you can investigate the core file to degug the problem, then delete it.
[21:47] <Od\x> Hello there! could anybody suggest to me an affordable (and free) software for creating (ubuntu) system backup image into a hidden partition so that everybody can restore the whole system just pressing a button when the PC is booting-up??
[21:47] <tom__> truckin: which is rather wierd....
[21:47] <juano__> Tomi_G: try hd0,0 , if it doesnt go then we try a remap
[21:47] <Tomi_G> ok
[21:47] <Nirevus> scguy318: It's not plugged in to anything. I'm on my laptop next to it.
[21:48] <scguy318> Nirevus: ok
[21:48] <pike_> delfos: good luck with reading the dump file
[21:48] <scguy318> Nirevus: do you have a removable storage device?
[21:48] <kazol> Could someone help me with an issue with ndiswrapper?-The Network Manager does not retain my WPA key and I have to type it in each time I boot.
[21:48] <juano__> !sudo | frost0
[21:48] <scguy318> Nirevus: and can you tell me what Ubuntu version and architecture?
[21:48] <ubotu> frost0: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[21:48] <soundray> alexmatos: it's possible that your keys control the hardware directly, and that the OS has no control over the brightness setting. In this case, it might be worth checking the BIOS setup for panel-related options.
[21:48] <delfos> truckin: wich is the dump core file? Where is it?
[21:48] <MaxL> How can I accsess my windows server on my network with ubuntu?
[21:48] <Nirevus> scguy318: 7.10, 32 bit
[21:48] <spiderfire> i sure would like to use new winamp skins
[21:48] <scguy318> Nirevus: thanks, gimme a moment
[21:48] <juano__> frost0: yep i put sudo to run the apps , but you can take that away
[21:48] <scguy318> Nirevus: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-common_1.43-1ubuntu2_all.deb
[21:49] <juano__> frost0: i think its not necessary in this case
[21:49] <truckin> tom__: what os's are on your boot drive? i would suggest burning an .iso image to cd and boot...the latter  rarely fails.
[21:49] <juano__> frost0: so you can delete the sudo from the last 2 lines before the exit
[21:49] <scguy318> Nirevus: http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/ndiswrapper-utils-1.9_1.43-1ubuntu2_i386.deb
[21:49] <scguy318> Nirevus: those two you need
[21:49] <juano__> frost0: youll need to leave them at the killall part
[21:49] <alexmatos> soundray, I would rather use the software management instead of the hardware one
[21:49] <FluxD> comple ndiswrapper from source that never worked
[21:49] <frost0> juano__, k
[21:49] <CochiseIRL> spiderfire, have you tried: http://audacious-media-player.org/index.php?title=Main_Page
[21:49] <scguy318> Nirevus: what's your card? I'll link you to the Windows driver
[21:49] <P-avilion> ikonia, i have the instructions, but i dont know how to execute them
[21:49] <kazol> Could someone help me with an issue with ndiswrapper?-The Network Manager does not retain my WPA key and I have to type it in each time I boot.
[21:49] <scguy318> Nirevus: and do you have a flash drive or removable storage device that you can use?
[21:50] <juano__> frost0: pastebin me the script after modifications
[21:50] <ikonia> P-avilion: join ##linux and aks there
[21:50] <tom__> juano__: no joy, a remap?
[21:50] <soundray> alexmatos: your laptop doesn't necessarily offer that. Check tuxmobil.org for installation reports on your specific model -- maybe someone else has solved the problem.
[21:50] <threethirty> MaxL: what protocols is your server connectiong
[21:50] <Nirevus> scguy318: Yeah, I'll grab a flash drive in a sec. let me just run lshw and I'll get the card details
[21:50] <scguy318> Nirevus: sure, thanks
[21:50] <tom__> truckin: only ubuntu, its a usb laptop hard drive thingy
[21:50] <juano__> tom__ = Tomi_G ?
[21:50] <spiderfire> CochiseIRL: its winamp classic skins
[21:50] <Tomi_G> nope
[21:50] <tom__> no
[21:50] <tom__> lol
[21:50] <Tomi_G> Tomi_G = Tomi_G :D
[21:50] <frost0> juano__, http://pastebin.com/da920e2c
[21:50] <alexmatos> soundray, I know it does because it worked in Gusty and in Arch Linux
[21:51] <Nirevus> scguy318: Hm, ethernet interface of ethernet controller? The controlleris described as Wireless Lan Adptor. I assume that's what you want?
[21:51] <scguy318> Nirevus: I'm interested in chipset and the like
[21:51] <ikonia> Nirevus: you don't have any drives for your card
[21:51] <kazol> Could someone help me with an issue with ndiswrapper?-The Network Manager does not retain my WPA key and I have to type it in each time I boot.
[21:51] <juano__> ok lol, then whats this ? tom__: juano__: no joy, a remap?
[21:51] <scguy318> Nirevus: type lspci
[21:51] <truckin> tom__: are you certain your bios supports USB booting? otherwise the usb media must be invalid.
[21:51] <juano__> Tomi_G: howd it go with hd0,0 ?
[21:52] <frost0> juano__, how does it look?
[21:52] <scguy318> Nirevus: what's make and model of the machine?
[21:52] <Tomi_G> juano__: will try it in a minute, just need to save some data first
[21:52] <tom__> truckin: i know it booted because i got the word grub
[21:52] <Nirevus> scguy318: It's an acer Aspire 1360
[21:52] <tom__> truckin: so it found something :D
[21:52] <scguy318> Nirevus: internal wireless? alright
[21:52] <Nirevus> scguy318: Yup
[21:53] <frost0> juano__, i think i did everything right..
[21:53] <juano__> frost0: you need sudo in first 2 lines, here i corrected it for ya
[21:53] <truckin> tom__: interesting, is this the desktop install you're attempting?
[21:53] <juano__> frost0: http://pastebin.com/m44852414
[21:53] <nbkr> Anybody using the VMWare Server from the commercial repository? I keep getting updates all the time. Seems that the package is broken.
[21:53] <frost0> juano__, maybe not...k thx
[21:53] <scguy318> Nirevus: moment then
[21:53] <Nirevus> scguy318: [AirConn] INPROCOMM IPN 2220 Wireless LAN Adaptor, is what lspci tells me
[21:53] <ikonia> nbkr: it is
[21:53] <nbkr> ikonia, Is there a fix anywhere?
[21:53] <tom__> truckin: yea
[21:53] <ikonia> nbkr: no, or it wouldn't be broken in the repo
[21:54] <juano__> frost0: the echo -e part means that itll wait till the app is closed and you hit enter in terminal
[21:54] <tom__> im going to try extlinux, see how that goes
[21:54] <frost0> juano__, okay thx
[21:54] <scguy318> Nirevus: alright cool
[21:54] <nbkr> ikonia, Actually the Server is running fine. Just the updating process is broken.
[21:54] <romme> is there any alternative to gnome-power-manager for controlling my backlight? i need something command-line to bind my hotkeys
[21:54] <Wooderson> how can i install steam and play counter-strike on linux ?
[21:54] <alexmatos> soundray, so how do I know what Gusty has that Feisty hasn't?
[21:54] <Nirevus> scguy318: In advance, I won't be able to test this while you explain as it's currently running off a LiveCD, I was checking that wireless would work once i installed it properly. But if there is a windows driver available I can use with NDISWrapper then that's great.
[21:54] <soundray> tom__: did you get the private message?
[21:54] <scguy318> !wine | Wooderson
[21:54] <ubotu> Wooderson: WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.
[21:54] <rich1> hi.  i added icedtea java and made it default to get miro working.  miro worked but java in mozilla browsers didn't.
[21:54] <scguy318> !appdb | Wooderson
[21:54] <ubotu> Wooderson: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org
[21:54] <Wooderson> i have wine
[21:54] <juano__> frost0: its actually a little workover
[21:54] <scguy318> Wooderson: check the AppDb for information
[21:54] <ikonia> nbkr: no its not, the dependencies for the updates are broken, therefore the current (your not running currnet) package is broke
[21:54] <Wooderson> this a .msi file
[21:54] <truckin> tom__: try reading up on grub, and using the grub prompt, manually tell it where a kernel can be found.
[21:55] <scguy318> Wooderson: to install an msi, type wine msiexec /i nameofmsifile.msi
[21:55] <nbkr> It tries to update from version 1.04 to version 1.04 ...
[21:55] <tom__> truckin: i dont get a prompt, just the word grub
[21:55] <scguy318> Wooderson: see the Steam page for AppDb for info
[21:55] <rich1> i made sun java the default again and removed icedtea java but now applets load verrrrry slowly.  any ideas?
[21:55] <kazol> Could someone help me with an issue with ndiswrapper?-The Network Manager does not retain my WPA key and I have to type it in each time I boot.
[21:55] <ikonia> nbkr: thats odd, thats not the generic problem with the package are you sure the version numbers don't change ?
[21:55] <Wooderson> thx scguy318 u always have the answer for me
[21:55] <soundray> alexmatos: I would search tuxmobil like I said. It's possible that gutsy has a kernel module to control it. There is a good chance you will find out its name that way.
[21:55] <nbkr> ikonia, Yes, I'm sure.
[21:55] <_AxS_> hey all -- ubuntu question..  The 'network manager' , i that an X app from gnome or some such, or is it a CLI thing?
[21:55] <nbkr> ikonia, Just checked.
[21:56] <truckin> tom__: thats very odd. i would try the cd boot approach. sorry i cant solve this.
[21:56] <ikonia> nbkr: I wonder if its till the dependency problem, but i can't see how update manager can update to the same version
[21:56] <rich1> hi.  i added icedtea java and made it default to get miro working.  miro worked but java in mozilla browsers didn't.
[21:56] <rich1> i made sun java the default again and removed icedtea java but now applets load verrrrry slowly.  any ideas?
[21:56] <alexmatos> soundray, I didn't find my notebook model there
[21:56] <soundray> _AxS_: it's a graphical (gnome) wizard
[21:56] <tom__> truckin: ill try extlinux and see how it fares
[21:56] <scguy318> Nirevus: moment, I've extracted driver files, I'll zip then upload to rapidshare
[21:57] <scguy318> Nirevus: or do you want to DCC?
[21:57] <scguy318> Nirevus: I'm not sure how well that works
[21:57] <Nirevus> scguy318: Use RS, I've got a premium account.
[21:57] <_AxS_> soundray: ahh, right.  is there a way to specify wpa keys and such so wifi works on bootup?
[21:57] <linuxer> Cambada
[21:57] <scguy318> Nirevus: alright, moment then
[21:57] <Nirevus> scguy318: aslong as it's .com
[21:57] <ferronica> hi all
[21:57] <_AxS_> soundray: instead of using networkmanager?
[21:57] <linuxer> somebody to talk
[21:57] <Wooderson> scguy318: where can i find a list of tasks running? and how do i kill it
[21:57] <scguy318> Wooderson: ps -A
[21:58] <juguegan> ps -A
[21:58] <ikonia> linuxer: this is a support channel for ubuntu support questions only
[21:58] <juguegan> kill -9 pid
[21:58] <Wooderson> thx
[21:58] <scguy318> Wooderson: or go to SYstem -> Administration -> System Monitor
[21:58] <soundray> _AxS_: yes, you can make the appropriate settings in /etc/network/interfaces (documented in man interfaces)
[21:58] <gangsterlicious> !!
[21:58] <truckin> ps aux is easier to read.
[21:58] <_AxS_> soundray: tnx
[21:58] <rem_> ..
[21:58] <ferronica> i have just installed Xchat gnome, but there is no proper icon :(
[21:59] <scguy318> Nirevus: http://rapidshare.com/files/71353876/neti2220.zip.html
[21:59] <joeb3_> ferronica, try Xchat.  Without the gnome
[21:59] <scguy318> Nirevus: extract the files inside, then put those files and the debs onto your removable storage device
[21:59] <soundray> ferronica: it's in Applications-Internet
[22:00] <scguy318> Nirevus: carry it over to the machine in question, place them on the desktop or w/e you feel like placing them
[22:00] <truckin> ferronica : a word to the wise, xchat-gnome is sucky, use xchat. period
[22:00] <rich1> can anyone help with java?
[22:00] <scguy318> Nirevus: then double-click the ndiswrapper-common deb, install it, then the same for ndiswrapper-utils deb
[22:00] <scguy318> rich1: what about?
[22:00] <ferronica> soundray: its there but icon showing something else
[22:00] <Adriel> I would like to know should i install any codec like k-lite codec? as i usually use k-lite codec on windows. What about ubuntu?
[22:00] <ArabEyes> ferronica , typ in the terminal  xchat-gnome , and xchat will started
[22:00] <rich1> hi.  i added icedtea java and made it default to get miro working.  miro worked but java in mozilla browsers didn't.
[22:00] <rich1> i made sun java the default again and removed icedtea java but now applets load verrrrry slowly.  any ideas?
[22:00] <scguy318> Adriel: if you require a codec, you'll simply be asked to install one from repos
[22:01] <truckin> ferronica : icons sometimes don't show-up until the system rebuilds it's database.  fyi
[22:01] <rich1> scguy318: just posted the problem.
[22:01] <scguy318> rich1: hmm, never worked with that before, so dunno :(
[22:01] <ferronica> truckin: yeah may be
[22:01] <Adriel> ah ok, thanks scguy318
[22:01] <scguy318> !medibuntu | Adriel
[22:01] <ubotu> Adriel: medibuntu is a repository of packages that cannot be included into the Ubuntu distribution for legal reasons - See http://www.medibuntu.org
[22:01] <scguy318> Adriel: some additional stuff if required
[22:01] <scguy318> Adriel: like libdvdcss2 and the like
[22:01] <truckin> ferronica : if you see an icon, check it's actual properties.
[22:01] <Udmin> rich1: apt-get install sun-java6-plugin
[22:01] <rich1> scguy318: ok.  thanks.
[22:01] <Adriel> o..
[22:02] <ferronica> truckin: right now it showing me dos type
[22:02] <scguy318> Nirevus: report when ready
[22:02] <Bonste1> !games
[22:02] <truckin> ferronica : what icon app do you refer too?
[22:02] <ubotu> Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[22:02] <rich1> Udmin: i tried that.  reinsatlled it.  but applets don't work at all in swiftweasel even though java.com says everything is good.
[22:02] <Nirevus> scguy318: Can you give me the instructions now, I'm running off a livecd currently so I won't be able to install it
[22:02] <yomimmo> hi
[22:02] <ferronica> truckin: empty icon
[22:03] <marcin_ant> hi all
[22:03] <mh092186> hey
[22:03] <juano__> a little retro for all of you http://www.uploadgeek.com/uploads456/5/Screenshot.jpg
[22:03] <TheHobbit> hi people....
[22:03] <scguy318> Nirevus: oh LiveCD? go ahead and install Ubuntu first before proceeding with my steps
[22:03] <marcin_ant> Is there someone that uses fakeraid (especially with raid0) on gutsy?
[22:03] <yomimmo> anyone know of a program to update the firmware of the speedtouch 585v6 router?
[22:03] <truckin> ferronica : you can select any executable to that icon, and or change the icon itself.
[22:03] <scguy318> Nirevus: basically obtain ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 + ndiswrapper-common either through APT (requires Internet)
[22:03] <simon_> hello
[22:03] <alexmatos> My laptop does not automatically decrease the monitor brightness when running on batteries. I can do it using Fn keys. The laptop is an HP Compaq Presario V6000 running Feisty. This worked in Gutsy. Can anybody help?
[22:03] <marcin_ant> and could someone tell me what is it's performance?
[22:03] <TheHobbit> I'm looking for an hotwo for emerald themes...
[22:03] <scguy318> Nirevus: or download the packages and install locally through GDebi
[22:03] <scguy318> Nirevus: after that
[22:04] <simon_> how do i change my nickname ...?
[22:04] <scguy318> simon_: /nick
[22:04] <scguy318> Nirevus: you would do
[22:04] <SpeakerMania> You know how a forced check is placed on the main hard drive every 28 times or whatever? It checks, but then this happens: http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/299/hpim0626yn4.jpg My password doesn't work.
[22:04] <Nirevus> scguy318: I can't do it tonight, was only getting my mum to play with it today so she'd agree to me installing it. But it means backing all her files up :P
[22:04] <joeb3_> simon_, /nick newnick
[22:04] <scguy318> Nirevus: ah, ok
[22:04] <nfusco> Im bangin my head of a wall here, Iv just done ANOTHER fresh install of gutsy, ona  Dell Inspiron 8500 laptop, It uses the Broadcom chipset, can someone recommend should I go down the NDiswrapper route or the restricted drivers?
[22:04] <scguy318> Nirevus: lemme link you to a guide
[22:04] <Cpudan80> Hello all
[22:04] <Cpudan80> I am trying to secure my ubuntu installation by messing with the IPTables
[22:04] <stroogle> howdy - i've just tried to install gnome on a server with dapper on.  I did sudo apt-get install gnome but it fails to start with 'startx'.  what should i do?
[22:04] <scguy318> Nirevus: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SetupNdiswrapperHowto
[22:04] <ubuntuJEW> just installed ubuntu ultimate on a vmware and emerald themer isn't working... why?
[22:04] <scguy318> Nirevus: i find it very helpful
[22:04] <nfusco> And does the network manager work with WPA?
[22:04] <Cpudan80> I want to be able to VNC to the box thru an X-tunneled SSH session
[22:05] <sijmes> hmm
[22:05] <CochiseIRL> Cpudan80, try installing firestarter its a nice gui to iptables
[22:05] <sijmes> ok thanks
[22:05] <Nirevus> scguy318: Thanks, I don't need to apt-get the ndis packages though do I, as I have htem on the flash drive
[22:05] <scguy318> Nirevus: you don't, you could if you had internet connectivity
[22:05] <scguy318> Nirevus: but you don't need to
[22:05] <Cpudan80> CochiseIRL: ehh ok
[22:05] <sijmes> my gutsy has no window borders since the new nvidia driver
[22:05] <Nirevus> Yeah
[22:05] <truckin> yomimmo - you need a firmware bios update from the manufacturer usually installed by booting off a floppy with the update on the floppy.
[22:05] <SpeakerMania> You know how a forced check is placed on the main hard drive every 28 times or whatever? It checks, but then this happens: http://img160.imageshack.us/img160/299/hpim0626yn4.jpg My password doesn't work.
[22:05] <sijmes> anyone help please...?
[22:06] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: you're supposed to be taken to a shell so you can type fsck, but
[22:06] <soundray> SpeakerMania: try booting in recovery mode -- it shouldn't ask for your password, and then you can run 'e2fsck -y /dev/hda1'
[22:06] <CochiseIRL> sijmes, open a terminal and type metacity --replace see if that works
[22:06]  * TheHobbit is looking for an howto for emerald themes
[22:06] <niux> okay, my computer crashes for no reason really often. now i checked /var/log/messages, syslog, kern.log, dmesg, apport.log, user.log, Xorg.log and debug. none of them has any info on what happens. what do i do?!
[22:06] <scguy318> soundray: I thought recovery mode had the partition mounted rw?
[22:06] <ikonia> TheHobbit your also repeating yourself
[22:06] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: boot to LiveCD, run fsck
[22:06] <stroogle> howdy - i've just tried to install gnome on a server with dapper on.  I did sudo apt-get install gnome but it fails to start with 'startx'.  what should i do?
[22:06] <Nirevus> scguy318: Will I need ndisgtk?
[22:06] <ikonia> stroogle: you've not configured the xserver
[22:06] <soundray> SpeakerMania: if that doesn't work, you should boot off a live CD, open a terminal and run 'sudo e2fsck -y /dev/hda1'
[22:06] <scguy318> Nirevus: no, I don't care for it anyway
[22:06] <SpeakerMania> scguy318, if can find mine...
[22:06] <ikonia> stroogle: you have to configure it before you start it
[22:06] <Cpudan80> CochiseIRL: How do I start firestarter... does it install as a menu item?
[22:07] <Nirevus> scguy318: Okay
[22:07] <Cpudan80> If it does - I can't find it :-/
[22:07] <soundray> scguy318: not if the root filesystem is inconsistent
[22:07] <stroogle> ikonia - ah, right, how do i do that then
[22:07] <scguy318> soundray: ah ok
[22:07] <ikonia> stroogle: edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf or try sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[22:07] <CochiseIRL> yes under System > Administration > Firestarter
[22:07] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: just do what soundray suggested, sounds good to me :)
[22:07] <nfusco> has anyone actually got the restricted driers working on broadcom chipseet with WPA?
[22:07] <CochiseIRL> Cpudan80,  yes under System > Administration > Firestarter
[22:07] <Clearze2> stroogle: run sudo aptitude install gnome-desktop
[22:07] <Cpudan80> oh duh
[22:07] <nfusco> drivers ^^
[22:07] <Cpudan80> Now I see it
[22:07] <alexmatos> My laptop does not automatically decrease the monitor brightness when running on batteries. I can do it using Fn keys. The laptop is an HP Compaq Presario V6000 running Feisty. This worked in Gutsy. Can anybody help?
[22:07] <sijmes> its not using metacity or emerals
[22:07] <scguy318> nfusco: ndiswrapper is best bet
[22:07] <stroogle> cool thanks will try
[22:07] <truckin> marcin_ant - login to your router, it should have a section to upload a flash update to the router...a tricky precedure. excersize caution.
[22:07] <ferronica> truckin: here is the screenhot --> http://i12.tinypic.com/85yisqp.png
[22:07] <sijmes> its compiz fusion
[22:08] <CochiseIRL> sijmes, have you tried running compiz --replace from a terminal and checking for errors?
[22:08] <niux> okay, my computer crashes for no reason really often. now i checked /var/log/messages, syslog, kern.log, dmesg, apport.log, user.log, Xorg.log and debug. none of them has any info on what happens. what do i do?!
[22:08] <Nirevus> scguy318: Excellent. Thank you very much for your help. I'll probably be installing it tomorrow or friday. Thanks again.
[22:08] <SpeakerMania> scguy348, okay. Its checking again...
[22:08] <sijmes> il try
[22:09] <TheHobbit> alexmatos, this is a bug in ubuntu, at leas I remember seeing something about this in the ubuntu ml
[22:09] <nfusco> scguy318, really, ive clean installed laptop 4 times in the last two days doing fresh installs to try get this working, pain in the ass...wont NDis need to be redone when a new kernel gets pushed out?
[22:09] <ikonia> nfusco: depends on the update
[22:09] <ferronica> truckin: got  the link ???
[22:09] <alexmatos> TheHobbit, you mean a bug in Feisty?
[22:09] <TheHobbit> alexmatos, IIRC the problem arise if you changed the default brightness
[22:09] <scguy318> Nirevus: good luck with your install, btw
[22:09] <truckin> ferronica : yes i did.
[22:09]  * genii sips a coffee
[22:10] <SpeakerMania> scguy318, I'm getting the same screen. I think I need the root password to get the shell. My password doesn't work, and I thought the root password/account is "frozen" in ubuntu
[22:10] <TheHobbit> alexmatos, yes
[22:10] <stroogle> Clearze2 - it seems to already have the desktop
[22:10] <ferronica> truckin: looks like text file
[22:10] <nfusco> Why bother with the broadcom restricted driver if it doesnt work! :-)
[22:10] <ikonia> nfusco: why buy hardware if it doesn't work
[22:10] <stroogle> ikonia - xserver-xorg not installed
[22:10] <alexmatos> TheHobbit, damn... no way to fix it?
[22:10] <ikonia> stroogle: install it then
[22:10] <ferronica> truckin: but shortcut working no problem
[22:10] <TheHobbit> alexmatos, I truly do not know, I'm not affected :)
[22:10] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: hmm
[22:10] <ikonia> stroogle: although if you've installed gnome it must be as its a dependency
[22:10] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> hi guys, I'm using a bttv capture card connected to an analog camera and the video resulting from that camera is a bit weird:  the bottom half of the video is green and the top half is in grayscale.... anyone know how to fix?
[22:11] <truckin> ferronica : find xchat in your menu, right click on it and place the shortcut on your desktop, or toolbar. again, use plain old xchat. xchat-gnome totally sucks.
[22:11] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: I know for a fact that you should be dragged to a shell, that happened to me on Feisty, but, I guess LiveCD is the best bet
[22:11] <ernestofreyre> Hi friends
[22:11] <stroogle> ikonia - it's installing now
[22:11] <loxley_> A
[22:11] <nfusco> ikonia, Broadcom seem to be quite popular, its a laptop i picked up recently - would just be nice to get ubuntu on it
[22:11] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: it sounds like you're using a wrong input setting. Are you using xawtv?
[22:11] <GewoonM> hi everybody!
[22:11] <ikonia> nfusco: you've got ubuntu on it
[22:11] <k1gwb> I got the AIM screenname "Hardy Herron" haha
[22:11] <GewoonM> I have a question:
[22:11] <truckin> ferronica : apt-get install xchat if all else fails
[22:12] <ikonia> k1gwb: why is that funny ?
[22:12] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, I'm using "motion"
[22:12] <ikonia> GewoonM: if you want an answer, ask
[22:12] <Cpudan80> CochiseIRL: Thanks man, works great
[22:12] <SpeakerMania> scguy318, okay.
[22:12] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, I also tried it with ekiga and it looks similarly poopy
[22:12] <nomojob> juano__: I've tried everything I can think of and just can't get this error 21 to disappear.  I will probably just uninstall Ubuntu until I hear that the issue is resolved.  Unless you have any other suggestions...
[22:12] <Cpudan80> CochiseIRL++
[22:12] <superid_> anyone running Skype 2 Beta?
[22:12] <k1gwb> cause no one got it before me. And cause I wonder if that is a trademark violation ;)
[22:12] <GewoonM> I've installed firestarter (the firewall) and I see a lot of active connections of which I know nothing
[22:12] <nfusco> ikonia, yeah with -wifi connection, with inet connectivity then should I have said
[22:12] <CochiseIRL> Cpudan80, your welcome
[22:12] <superid_> Camorama detects my camera, Skype does not
[22:12] <CochiseIRL> superid_, yup
[22:12] <juano__> nomojob: no
[22:12] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: theres also a suggestion to
[22:13] <juano__> nomojob: if your in the livecd
[22:13] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: boot with option init=/bin/bash
[22:13] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: then doing
[22:13] <truckin> ferronica : fyi- the normal xchat has a cool icon.
[22:13] <RB2> When you're zipping a directory recursively, does zip create a temp file and then rename it when complete?
[22:13] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: try with xawtv - it lets you set up the card properly and then motion and ekiga should work, too.
[22:13] <ikonia> RB2: yes
[22:13] <superid_> also, Skype seems to be sending all my system audio in a call.. e.g. if I'm listening to music in XMMS or watching something in YouTube the sound gets transmitted
[22:13] <hash> hi all

[22:13] <cody> can anyone help me getting desktop effects working?
[22:13] <Zavius> Can anyone help me figure out why my .desktop files on my desktop are opening with a text editor instead of start an app?
[22:13] <RB2> ikonia, ty!
[22:13] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, ok I'll try that... "sudo apt-get install xawtv" - right?
[22:13] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: but I guess LiveCD is best bet
[22:13] <SpeakerMania> scguy318, how do I boot with that option?
[22:13] <CochiseIRL> cody, graphics card?
[22:13] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: yes
[22:13] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: press e at the GRUB menu to edit your boot options, then add it
[22:13] <cody> ati im pretty sure
[22:14] <nomojob> juano__: If I didnt currently depend on XP so much, I would just uninstall XP, but I cant currently do that so I gues Linux will have to go.
[22:14] <cody> ya
[22:14] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, awesome thanks

[22:14] <CochiseIRL> cody, type lspci in a terminal
[22:14] <subpar> when you put a image from firefox as the background, where is it stored?
[22:14] <juano__> nomojob: sudo fdisk -l
[22:14] <juano__> nomojob: what does that return now ?
[22:14] <mEck0> I wrote crontab -e in the terminal, added an rsync-command and when I want to save it, nano want to save the file under /tmp/crontab.6VN6rg/crontab, is it where is should be? right name? and does the cronjobs work directly after saving the file or must I restart a daemon or something?
[22:14] <Udmin> rich1: never heard of swiftweasel, must not be officially supported yet
[22:14] <ihate88> is there a way to make rhytmbox NOT add media to library when just played one or more times? (i only want full albums appear in the media library, from the folder i specify in the options
[22:15] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob, are you still having grub issues?
[22:15] <ferronica> truckin: what is fyi ?
[22:15] <Zavius> Does anyone know why .desktop files would open as a text editor
[22:15] <nomojob> juano__:  what is that pastebin link?
[22:15] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: yep
[22:15] <ferronica> truckin: installed fresh ubuntu 7.10 on new WD 250GB hdd
[22:15] <joeb3_> mEck0, cron will work after saving to the tmp location
[22:15] <truckin> ferronica : fyi = for your information. sorry :)
[22:15] <ArthurArchnix> !pastebin | nomojob
[22:15] <ubotu> nomojob: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[22:15] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: status?
[22:16] <Whisperkiller> can anyone help me figure out why i cannot install fglrx?

[22:16] <hash> has anyone had problem with scrolling with mouse in firefox (it is mouse problem i think)?
[22:16] <juano__> thanks ArthurArchnix
[22:16] <CochiseIRL> Whisperkiller, whats the problem
[22:16] <truckin> ferronica : xchat doesnt install by default if i recall. use apt or synaptic
[22:16] <ArthurArchnix> juano__: Mind if I tune into this and give my two cents?
[22:16] <SpeakerMania> scguy318, I know what the problem is. My keyboard is USB.
[22:16] <cody> cochiseirl  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45416/
[22:16] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: have you seen that motion has a -s option (for setup)?
[22:16] <Wooderson> scguy318: you know when u click the ubuntu symbol and there options well one of the options and wine and it shows a list of programs... well none of them are installed but they still show up how do i delete them?
[22:17] <juano__> ArthurArchnix: sure
[22:17] <GewoonM> btw, how long do I need to wait before posting the question again if there's no answer?
[22:17] <ferronica> truckin: i just installed it, and i using it right now
[22:17] <scguy318> Wooderson: you can edit menu or check like ~/.local/share
[22:17] <nomojob> juano__:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45417/
[22:17] <pike_> GewoonM: two weeks
[22:17] <ArthurArchnix> juano__: What is the grub error he's getting? 17?
[22:17] <GewoonM> pike_: :P
[22:17] <Wooderson> ah gotcha
[22:17] <juano__> ArthurArchnix: 21
[22:17] <scguy318> Wooderson: ~/.local/share/applications I think

[22:17] <Wooderson> ty
[22:17] <CochiseIRL> cody, have you tried enabling the restricted driver?
[22:17] <mEck0> joeb3_: are the jobs saved permanently in /tmp or must I recreate them after reboot?
[22:17] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: error 21
[22:17] <GewoonM> (was a serious question, though)
[22:17] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: don't know what it does, but it sounds useful. Also, motion allows you to set input options via a config file.
[22:18] <juano__> ArthurArchnix: windows is hd0,0
[22:18] <joeb3_> mEck0, the jobs are saved correctly. you do not have to recreate them
[22:18] <juano__> ArthurArchnix: and linux is hd1,0
[22:18] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, I've completely ignored that option...but I've been playing around with it's config file
[22:18] <truckin> ferronica : the icon will be in applications > internet. it should be labeled xchat irc
[22:18] <juano__> ArthurArchnix: for grub that is
[22:18] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: ill brb a moment, g/l with your issue
[22:18] <pike_> GewoonM: couple min
[22:18] <cody> cochiseirl the only restricted driver i have is a software modem driver i don't think that has anything to do with it but i will anyways
[22:18] <Tomi_G> juano__: No such partition.  -> when I tried 0,0
[22:18] <juano__> nomojob: hd0,0 for windows in grub.lst  and hd1,0 for linux
[22:18] <andersbr> Anyone use dvorak on Ubuntu?  Terminal acts weird and Firefox is stuck in QWERTY mode.
[22:18] <juano__> Tomi_G: yep i expected that
[22:18] <theunixgeek> Hello. I'm following the osdev Bare Bones tutorial for writing a simple kernel. http://www.osdev.org/wiki/Bare_bones I'm a complete noob at this, so please don't assume I know all the terminology you guys do. I'd like to be able to boot the kernel shown in the tutorial in either Bochs or QEMU. How would I go about this?
[22:18] <Whisperkiller> CochiseIRL: fglrx will not install for some reason no matter what i do....i install it but it says its not installed
[22:19] <CochiseIRL> cody, no need, click system > preferances > apperance
[22:19] <juano__> Tomi_G: the boot one is hd0,1 for your windows
[22:19] <CochiseIRL> Whisperkiller, graphics card make/model?
[22:19] <Rictoo> how do I set the location of aterm when I start it?
[22:19] <juano__> Tomi_G: hda2 is boot flagged in sudo fdisk -l
[22:19] <mEck0> joeb3_: ok, thx a lot!
[22:19] <tritium> Whisperkiller: did you follow the wiki instructions?
[22:19] <Whisperkiller> ati radeon x1950 agp....the nightmare card
[22:19] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: look at the input and norm options in there
[22:19] <Adriel> crap.. why can't i change the wireless network i want to connect too now
[22:19] <ferronica> truckin: its not
[22:19] <Tomi_G> juano__: yes, but is doesn't work :((
[22:19] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: You've probably already posted it, but can I get a link to your menu.lst (aka. the grub file)
[22:19] <nomojob> juano__: you mean menu.lst?
[22:20] <juano__> Tomi_G: yea... weird, let me search some google
[22:20] <juano__> nomojob: yea
[22:20] <cody> CochiseIRL ok...
[22:20] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: sure, one sec
[22:20] <Tomi_G> juano__: ok, thx
[22:20] <Whisperkiller> tritium the ones im aware of....the ubuntu pages link me here....it doesnt seem to be working even though ive done everything the way it says
[22:20] <truckin> ferronica : it probably will show up after the system does a rebuild database.
[22:20] <CochiseIRL> Whisperkiller, check the ati site to see if your card is supported by the newest driver
[22:20] <juano__> Tomi_G: is this win xp partition ?
[22:20] <juano__> Tomi_G: or 98 ?
[22:20] <Tomi_G> juano__: XP home
[22:20] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, one of the options I noticed was "ffmpeg_deinterlace on" - which I'd like to have work but gives a "file not found" error in the console
[22:20] <ferronica> truckin: ya may be
[22:20] <CochiseIRL> cody, go to the visual effects tabs and click normal and see if that works
[22:20] <juano__> Tomi_G: ok
[22:20] <ferronica> truckin: one more thing
[22:20] <tritium> Whisperkiller: just making sure you're installing ubuntu packages, first of all...
[22:21] <simon_> still no window borders in gutsy
[22:21] <cody> CochiseIRL desktop effects could not be enabled
[22:21] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/45418/
[22:21] <Whisperkiller> cochiseIRL:it is....the newest driver was just released in order to fix problems it was having with black screens on loading x
[22:21] <ferronica> truckin: enable ups discharge alarm not working
[22:21] <pbn> Hi folks, could somebody take a look at bug 164302 I created this morning ? It appears to be a kernel issue... IDE/ATAPI related...
[22:21] <kazol> Where is the GNOME config file?
[22:21] <andreas_> Hi, i have a problem. When i try to mount my newlie formated hdd extention, i get "hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000". How can i fix it?  (btw. I am runing Kubuntu)
[22:21] <simon_> im considering reinstalling
[22:21] <CochiseIRL> Whisperkiller, http://ubuntero.org/cochise/weblog/718.html that may work for you
[22:21] <truckin> ferronica - open a terminal window and  type xchat & [hit enter]  xchat should start.
[22:21] <CochiseIRL> simon_, whats happening?
[22:21] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Can you boot either os correctly?
[22:21] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: that's not an input option, though. I think your issue is on the input side of things
[22:22] <Whisperkiller> tritium: i have no real idea....i have done everything i know to do...
[22:22] <simon_> still no window borders
[22:22] <ferronica> truckin: working
[22:22] <Clearze2> simon_: Have you tried compiz --replace &?
[22:22] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix:  I cant boot windows. it brings up the Error 21 and then just sits there
[22:22] <simon_> i edited xorg.conf in a few places but no joy
[22:22] <ArthurArchnix> simon_: What's the problem?
[22:22] <theresa_> why does the account created with the installation allow sudo, but the username isn't listed in /etc/sudoers ?
[22:22] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: I can only boot from live cd
[22:22] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: But you can boot Gutsy?
[22:22] <ubuntuJEW> just installed ubuntu ultimate on a vmware and emerald themer isn't working... why? anyone?
[22:22] <simon_> yes tried that
[22:22] <joeb3_> theresa_, admin group
[22:22] <CochiseIRL> simon_, have you tried metacity --replace
[22:22] <astro76> theresa_, it belongs to the admin group, add users to admin group for sudo access
[22:22] <truckin> ferronica - the ampersand character runs the app in the background. so the terminal is free to do other things.
[22:23] <joeb3_> theresa_, @admin
[22:23] <nevhood> Hello!  Ubuntu doesn't recognize my sound card apparently... is there any way I can identify and install drivers for it?
[22:23] <spiderfire> how do i install my fonts?
[22:23] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: So you can't boot anything, you need to use the live cd.
[22:23] <Whisperkiller> cochiseirl: i will try it....ill be back if it doesnt work
[22:23] <simon_> pfff thanks for that
[22:23] <ferronica> truckin: working
[22:23] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: yes
[22:23] <simon_> theyre back
[22:23] <CochiseIRL> Whisperkiller, no probelm
[22:23] <theresa_> admin or lpadmin?
[22:23] <ferronica> truckin: but ups discharge alarm not working
[22:23] <cody> CochiseIRL the compiz output from terminal has told me that xgl is not present but i don't think that's the case
[22:23] <simon_> Cochise rocks
[22:23] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, you mean theres options for input besides defining "/dev/video0"
[22:23] <simon_> night night
[22:23] <GewoonM> I've installed firestarter (the firewall) and I see a lot of active connections of which I know nothing, what can this be?
[22:24] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Have you checked the connections of both drives, to ensure they're plugged in securely?
[22:24] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: i have XP on one HD and Ubuntu on another
[22:24] <CochiseIRL> simon_, np
[22:24] <theresa_> admin:x:110:jason,theresa
[22:24] <juano__> Tomi_G: i thnk i got it
[22:24] <theresa_> jason will sudo, theresa wont.
[22:24] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: the input and norm options in the motion config file
[22:24] <juano__> Tomi_G: we have to remap
[22:24] <Tomi_G> juano__: yes?
[22:24] <spiderfire> !fonts
[22:24] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto - No fonts in Flash? Install "msttcorefonts" (from !Multiverse), "gsfonts", and "gsfonts-x11". No fonts in MPlayer? see !MPlayer
[22:24] <juano__> Tomi_G: like i said before
[22:24] <Tomi_G> ok, let's remap :D
[22:24] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: yep, I can view files on both drives
[22:24] <CochiseIRL> cody do a search on the forums for xgl and it'll tell you how to enable it, its fairly easy to do and should take no more than 5 mins
[22:24] <soundray> Oni-Dracula|lapp: man motion
[22:24] <truckin> ferronica - xchat is a good program. you can create a shortcut from anywhere and choose the icon from /usr/share/icons if you wish.
[22:24] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, oh yeah now I know what you're talking about
[22:25] <TequilaWORM> Hi, Its a way to run mknod as a regular user?
[22:25] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: i've been at this for like 8 hours now, I hope there's a way around it
[22:25] <ferronica> truckin: xchat gnome or xchat only
[22:25] <andreas_> Hi, i have a problem. When i try to mount my newlie formated hdd extention, i get "hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000". How can i fix it?  (btw. I am runing Kubuntu)
[22:25] <juano__> Tomi_G: leave hd0,1 as before and add these 2 lines after the last entries:   map  (hd0)  (hd1)     ,    map  (hd1)  (hd0)   in seperate lines
[22:25] <soundray> !sound > nevhood, please read ubotu's private message, try some of the things suggested and see if you can pinpoint the problem. If not, come back and ask a more precise question.
[22:26] <nevhood> soundray - thanks
[22:26] <ubuntuJEW> is there a better way to run linux in windows?
[22:26] <kupesoft> Where can I read about limit the resources of a program (i. e. cpu percentage it can use)
[22:26] <truckin> ferronica - xchat only, xchat-gnome is...well silly. use plain xchat only.
[22:26] <ferronica> truckin: ok
[22:26] <pike_> kupesoft: man ulimit?
[22:26] <hash> i can't scroll in firefox by clicking scroll why?
[22:26] <soundray> ubuntuJEW: better than?
[22:26] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Grub sometimes messes up on two disc installs... it can be fixed though.
[22:27] <gcarrillo> how do i read an sgml file?
[22:27] <ubuntuJEW> vmware player
[22:27] <gcarrillo> or view it?
[22:27] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: cool, any idea where to go from here?
[22:27] <pike_> kupesoft: well you said cpu see also nice
[22:27] <patrickkkk> hey im trying to see if i can get my Micro, Inc. Integrated MS/xD Controller  (memory card reader) to work with ubuntu, but when i search it comes up with people listing their lspci commands
[22:27] <patrickkkk> any ideas?
[22:27] <kupesoft> pike_: man ulimit doesn't work
[22:27] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Have you tried changing the order of discs booted in your bios? That is, usually it's hd1 then hd1, so swap it?
[22:27] <juano__> Tomi_G: the thing is that usually this is if you have more than 1 hard disk
[22:27] <ubuntuJEW> soundray: vmware player
[22:27] <peter_> set 0 to 1
[22:27] <juano__> Tomi_G: but it doesnt hurt to try
[22:28] <kupesoft> pike_: I don't want to modify the scheduling priority (nice)
[22:28] <Tomi_G> juano__: ok
[22:28] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: i have tried all different combinations in the BIOS
[22:28] <RobJ> Hey guys, When trying to log into Ubuntu, i get a 'session lasted less than 10 seconds' message...   can someone help me resolve this please.
[22:28] <theresa_> still isn't working, i'm added to the admin group
[22:28] <stroogle_> ikonia - on the gnome desktop install, i've been fiddling with the reconfigure and i think it's being thrown by my widescreen acer monitor - don't know what to do
[22:28] <soundray> ubuntuJEW: I've done a couple of installations in VMware Server with Windows as host
[22:28] <juano__> Tomi_G: this makes a virtual swap and changes disks, but usually corrects booting from non primary partitions
[22:28] <ikonia> stroogle_: I don't think its been thrown at all
[22:28] <peter_> ?????
[22:29] <pike_> kupesoft: not sure why you dont have the man page  'ulimit -a' will show the current settings for your session
[22:29] <ikonia> stroogle_: wide screen monitors are normally fine
[22:29] <juano__> Tomi_G: ill keep looking
[22:29] <CochiseIRL> could someone have a look at this, http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/9605/screenshotfirestarterdetp5.png its a screen shot of my firestarter events tab is this normal?
[22:29] <Tomi_G> km
[22:29] <Tomi_G> nhð
[22:29] <kupesoft> pike_: I want to start an instance of qemu as a service (i. e. virtual private servers)
[22:29] <juano__> Tomi_G: just in case something else shows up
[22:29] <Tomi_G> juano__: thx :)
[22:29] <joeb3_> theresa_, is the user listed above the group entry?
[22:29] <kupesoft> pike_: qemu lets you specify how much memory to use, but doesn't let you set the cpu usage,
[22:29] <soundray> RobJ: did it let you look at the session error log?
[22:29] <ubuntuJEW> soundray: me too but i can't get things to run right. emerald themer not working
[22:29] <hash> sorry for this "I can't scroll in firefox by clicking scroll why?"
[22:29] <RobJ> soundray, it didnt contain anything, it was blank
[22:30] <scguy318> SpeakerMania: status?
[22:30] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> soundray, the main differences I see in switching between inputs is the framerate.  Input 1 has a very fast framerate, whereas the others are extremely slow
[22:30] <pike_> kupesoft: hmm maybe you could setup a user with a ulimit on -t  which is cpu time.  export the display to your current xsession and su - user -c "qemu something"
[22:30] <stroogle_> ikonia - something's twisted, after i do 'startx' i get a fatal error
[22:30] <soundray> ubuntuJEW: yes, I had issues with GL programs in general. I could start one, but when I started a second, it crashed X. Reported on launchpad
[22:30] <pike_> kupesoft: that is the limit of my knowledge though ;p
[22:30] <ikonia> stroogle_: check the log file for the "EE" error
[22:30] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: in other forums it says that Error 21 means that GRUB cant read from the disk or something
[22:31] <scguy318> kupesoft: nice the process?
[22:31] <soundray> RobJ: can you login on a text console? (Switch to it with Ctrl-Alt-F2)
[22:31] <asathoor> hi
[22:31] <jacob> what is dvdauthor?
[22:31] <Clearze2> pike_: Just hope he doesn't accidentally create a logic bomb
[22:31] <stroogle_> ikonia - yeah!  EE /dev/wacom no such device or file
[22:31] <RobJ> soundray, yes i can.
[22:31] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Typically, what happens is that you install to mbr, which in your case is sda. This overwrites you windows bootloader.
[22:31] <hash> sorry for this "I can't scroll in firefox by clicking scroll why?"
[22:31] <ikonia> stroogle_: that shouldln't be a fatal error, thats not a problem
[22:31] <soundray> RobJ: do a 'cat .xsession-errors' and see if it's really empty
[22:31] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: is it just not finding either OS then?
[22:32] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Then grub loads and looks for /boot/grub/menu.lst but it looks on the /sda whereas linux its actually on /sdb
[22:32] <kupesoft> pike_: ulimit -t will kill a process after it eats that many cpu time in seconds, not what I want
[22:32] <andreas_> Hi, i have a problem. When i try to mount my newlie formated hdd extention, i get "hal-storage-fixed-mount refused uid 1000". How can i fix it?  (btw. I am runing Kubuntu)
[22:32] <JoeThomas> Hi, I have an old 7.04 Server edition cd, but can't install because of the ubuntu archive mirror.
[22:32] <kupesoft> pike_: I want to basically allot the qemu instance like 10% of my cpu at any given time,
[22:32] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: It should find it anyway, on sdb, but for some reason with you, it hasn't.
[22:32] <kupesoft> pike_: I'll look in to it,
[22:32] <scguy318> kupesoft: i guess experiment with nice values
[22:32] <slylock> hello guys
[22:32] <pike_> kupesoft: i see. good luck
[22:32] <RobJ> soundray, It has just made a new line, not dont anything
[22:32] <stroogle_> ikonia - so how to proceed?
[22:32] <slylock> does any one here use latex
[22:32] <slylock> ?
[22:32] <truckin> andreas_ use sudo mount ...
[22:32] <ferronica> enable ups discharge alarm not working. (I am using APC  back up ups ES 650Y)
[22:32] <ubuntuJEW> soundray: is there something better out there? like porting?
[22:32] <ikonia> stroogle_: look at the EE errors
[22:32] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: Could it be an isue with master / slave pin settings? I didn' think this mattered with sata drives though.
[22:32] <kupesoft> scguy318: nice = scheduling priority, I don't think this has to do with that (thought it may)...

[22:33] <nevhood> I am trying to create a directory in /usr/src... access is denied.  What can I do?
[22:33] <scguy318> kupesoft: well, my thinking is that if qemu has lower priority, it would take less CPU time, but eh
[22:33] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: i dont know much about that
[22:33] <ikonia> stroogle_: in a text editor
[22:33] <soundray> ubuntuJEW: I don't know -- I didn't look, because I was able to work around the problem
[22:33] <JoeThomas> nevhood: sudo
[22:33] <kupesoft> scguy318: Yeah, true, I'll look in to it (;
[22:33] <joeb3_> which of the events under sounds will play a file when someone types a message to you in xchat?
[22:33] <mEck0> is there ant app/desklet which works as a countdown timer? I want to e.g. write which day I have exams, and want to see how many days there are left...
[22:33] <RobJ> soundray, /dev/sdb3 reports its using 100%, though when i partitioned i told it to use 'max', which is around 80gb
[22:33] <andreas_> truckin: sudo mount ??? then wat?  Yes i am a neewbie
[22:33] <truckin> nevhood - root owns that, sudo is required to write to it.
[22:33] <gcarrillo> how do i view docbook files?
[22:34] <RobJ> soundray, it says the size is 2.1gb
[22:34] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: cant we just make it look in sdb?
[22:34] <nevhood> thank you JoeThomas and truckin
[22:34] <ArthurArchnix> Does ubuntu label sata drives as sda,b etc, and non-sata as hda,b, etc?
[22:34] <ubuntuJEW> anyone know of a better way (than VMware) to run linux through windows? anyone?
[22:34] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: I believe that is the case
[22:34] <soundray> RobJ: is /dev/sdb3 the only data partition that ubuntu uses?
[22:34] <stroogle_> ikonia - oh i remember, like vi, but how to find the name of the log file to look at?
[22:34] <ikonia> ubuntuJEW any virtualisation
[22:34] <scguy318> ArthurArchnix: and its not really SATA, SCSI drives have sdx naming
[22:34] <truckin> andreas_ - mounting drives usually requires superuser access, preceed the command with 'sudo' and use your user password.

[22:35] <xero_server> HELP! I just updated my laptop from 7.04 to 7.10. when i rebooted, i was asked to enable a restricted driver for my wireless card, a bcm4306. It asked me to reboot again. When i reboot, the computer freeses right after the bootloader exits. When i try to reboot in recovery mode I get an error message /init: /init: 181: cannot open /root/dev/console: Permission Denied. Then it says Kernel Panic, attempting to kill init. What should I do?
[22:36] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: You had one hd in your compuer with xp right? Then what did you do, add a 20 gig hd and plug it in?
[22:36] <mEck0> I have rsync -az source/ dest/ in my crontab, it worked perfectly, but I wonder how rsync works. It backed up my dir for the first time now, but will it only backup new files and changes tomorrow if there is any or the whole dir again?
[22:36] <frost0> juano__, i didn't work...gonna eat brb
[22:36] <joeb3_> mEck0, you are correct!
[22:36] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: I have had 2 120GB drives for awhile.  One had XP and other programs and the second one was mainly for storage.
[22:36] <juano__> frost0: mm maybe it needs some extra parameters
[22:37] <juano__> frost0: what part didnt work ?
[22:37] <mEck0> joeb3_: thx :)
[22:37] <andreas_> truckin: Yeah. But, i'll need to state whitch partition i want to monunt, and where i want to mount it? Right?

[22:37] <RedBand> I lost my sound trying to get virtualbox's sound to work, and everything else is now acting weird. sudo and gksudo doesn't work, most of Administration disappeared (I can't add it back). I am downloading gutsy amd64 iso right now (lost my gutsy cd), and hope to burn it. Can I do it with ubuntu's default burner, or am I screwed (I still have dapper cds).
[22:37] <soundray> ubuntuJEW: I don't think you get accelerated 3D graphics in any virtualization software other than vmware
[22:37] <soundray> RobJ: no, if that's the only partition that df -h mentions, then there is no other. Can you run 'sudo fdisk -l', put it on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and let me have the URL?
[22:38] <Seeeb> hey, what is the command to create a file in a terminal?
[22:38] <Juggernot> Ubuntu rocks.
[22:38] <truckin> andreas_ thats correct. example sudo mount /dev/cdrom0  /media/cdrom

[22:39] <Jangari> how does the kubuntu desktop compare with gnome?
[22:39] <RobJ> soundray, im not sure how im going to do that, as im on my laptop now, and i cannot boot into ubuntu
[22:39] <tmbm> need help
[22:39] <RedBand> can I use ubuntu's default burner to burn an iso?
[22:39] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: The surest way to fix the problem would be to swap the connections of the xp and linux drive, making linux sda and xp sdb, Then disconnect windows drive altogether. Then reinstall grub. Then reconnect the xp drive and add it to grub.
[22:39] <tmbm> anyone got psp
[22:39] <LjL> Jangari: install it and see.
[22:39] <scguy318> RedBand: yes
[22:39] <Pelo> Jangari, kubuntu uses kde for a desktop, it's a mather of personnal prefs
[22:39] <joeb3_> RedBand, yes
[22:39] <RedBand> okay, thanks
[22:39] <hash>  "I can't scroll in firefox by clicking scroll why?"
[22:39] <riotkitt1e> Jangari: kde is...  well, really, it depends on your own personal tastes. some say its more like windows and easier for new users...
[22:39] <Oni-Dracula|lapp> Jangari, it's different... I think it's a matter of personal preference.  Different default programs, different interface, tc... I personally do not like KDE and find programs to be memory hgos
[22:39] <andreas_> truckin: So in this case: "sudo mount /dev/sda3 /media/sda3" ?
[22:39] <vas> hey I am using a Macbook Pro with gutsy, and I was told that my macbook remote is connecting under, /dev/hiddev0, now can I check this?
[22:40] <truckin> andreas_  example sudo mount /dev/sda1  /media/disk. you must create the mountpoint yourself in typical cases.
[22:40] <ArthurArchnix> You can fix your current install, it's just a matter of messing with your bios settings and maybe your jumper settings on the drives, master / slave settings.
[22:40] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: good lord.
[22:40] <orion1> Hey guys im having some trouble with vncserver anyone know how to use it?
[22:40] <riotkitt1e> i think it's obnoxious but you can install it alongside gnome and be able to use both.

[22:43] <ArthurArchnix> nomojob: If you remove the xp drive and connect the wire to the ubuntu drive, when you install grub it will install to the mbr of the linux drive. Easiest way to reinstall is from the live cd. I'll find the link. And remember, you problem is bios/pin settings. You might fix it by trial and error changin the boot order and such in your bios.

[22:47] <nomojob> ArthurArchnix: ok
[22:47] <soundray> RobJ: this is giving me a bit of an idea of your hard disk layout. Perhaps you should try 'sudo cfdisk /dev/hdb' now to see if there is unpartitioned space

[22:48] <poeloq> does anybody know a good SIP client that can possibly handle several accounts and is not called Ekiga?
[22:48] <truckin> andreas_- you must create the mountpoint first.  try sudo mkdir /media/disk

[22:48] <Pelo> techjim, what is your issue

[22:49] <frost0> orion1, can't you just go to start/system/preferences/remote desktop?
[22:49] <joeb3_> GewoonM, don't know what else.

[22:51] <frost0> orion1, did that work?
[22:51] <soundray> RobJ: so it mounts -- see if there's any data on it: 'ls /mnt'
[22:51] <Sigma6> ooeoe
[22:52] <andreas_> Okay!=)  Thx for the help:)
[22:52] <orion1> joeb3_: do you start it with vncserver :1 or do you have to run that as root?
[22:52] <CochiseIRL> techjim, open vlc, click settings > preferences, tick the box for advanced options,
[22:52] <soundray> RobJ: probably only 'lost+found'
[22:52] <truckin> andreas_- you're welcome. never give up.
[22:52] <RobJ> soundray, 'lost+found'   and then just a new line, no data?
[22:52] <frost0> orion1, ?
[22:52] <orion1> frost0: I DONT have a active destop to set it. I am not on the machine i can only use the terminal on it through ssh

[22:52] <fantum13> Hey, I'm on an HP dv2000, and my wireless card seems to have disappeared. It won't show up from an lspci, but I've checked and its firmly in the slot. Does anyone know what might be causing this?
[22:52] <Pelo> techjim,  update manager only doesn fixes and security stuff , it does not upgrade progs to new versions
[22:52] <joeb3_> orion1, it starts on :1
[22:52] <techjim> CochiseIRL: there
[22:52] <marky_mark47> Hi.  Can anyone suggest an application that will reliably allow me to burn MP3 files to CD?
[22:52] <techjim> Pelo: how should I update then?  synaptic?
[22:52] <orion1> joeb3: do you know how to kill them when you are done?
[22:52] <GewoonM> Anybody else now the answer: I've installed firestarter (the firewall) and I see a lot of active connections of which I know nothing, what can this be?
[22:53] <CochiseIRL> techjim, then click video and select output modules and change it to X11 video output now try play a video
[22:53] <frost0> orion1, maybe it's running have you tried opening the vnc port
[22:53] <joeb3_> orion1, stop the vncserver
[22:53] <Pelo> techjim,  I don'T know what could be causing your mouse issue, execpt possibly some video driver issues, what videocard do you ahve ?
[22:53] <orion1> joeb3_: i am getting this error
[22:53] <soundray> RobJ: yep, apparently something in the installation didn't go as you planned... Now gnome won't start because there is no room for it to write files.

[22:53] <fantum13> Could anyone help me revive my bcm4311 wireless card in a Pavillion dv2k notebook?
[22:53] <techjim> Pelo: legacy nvidia card.  nvidia riva tnt2 m64, I forget whether its 16mb or 32
[22:54] <joeb3_> orion1, try just vncserver. it will start on :1
[22:54] <soundray> RobJ: I could try to help you recover from that, but perhaps you would just like to reinstall?
[22:54] <Pelo> techjim,  for the upgrade, I recomemnt you get the alt cd or the dvd and upgrade from those, it is quicker then online
[22:54] <andreas_> truckin: Hmm.. How do i get accses to the hdd then? Cant paste files ther or change settings
[22:54] <hash> how to enable middle-scroll in firefox window while using compiz or how to try fixing by myself what to look anything?
[22:54] <RobJ> soundray, I can remove the 68gb partition (sdb1) in Paragon partition-manager, if i boot into xp... and then enlarge the others?
[22:54] <scguy318> fantum13: probably use ndiswrapper
[22:54] <CochiseIRL> techjim, any luck with that?
[22:54] <techjim> Pelo: I have 7.10 btw
[22:54] <orion1> joeb3_: i am still getting the same error
[22:54] <fantum13> scguy318: I use ndiswrapper. However, my wireless device has disappeared from ifconfig and lspci.
[22:54] <Pelo> techjim, onboard card  with shared memory or add on ?  raise your memory if shared see if it helps
[22:55] <soundray> RobJ: you could try that of course, but I wouldn't be able to help you with that (never used Paragon)
[22:55] <techjim> CochiseIRL: which? x11 output, what screen should I put it on? 0?
[22:55] <techjim> Pelo: add-on.  pci I think
[22:55] <Pelo> techjim,  I was under the impresswion you were using feisty and thinking of upgrading,
[22:55] <techjim> Right
[22:55] <orion1> joeb3_: this is all my xstartup file has in it

[22:55] <CochiseIRL> techjim, yup 0
[22:55] <Pelo> techjim,  which video driver are you using ? restricted or binairy ?
[22:55] <RobJ> soundray, okay ill do that ;-)  I have basic knoweledge of paragon so it should be fine...   should i expand the /dev/sdb2 partition?
[22:55] <linxeh> is there a way to lock a user account down to only allow scp operations within a particular directory (eg chroot?), and to deny ssh login sessions ?
[22:55] <frost0> juano__, are you afk?
[22:55] <scguy318> fantum13: strange, is it mentioned in /etc/modules?
[22:56] <John_R> hey folks, audactiy crashes like crazy
[22:56] <joeb3_> orion1, chmod 755 xstartup
[22:56] <orion1> joe3_: do you know how to kill a desktop once you start one?
[22:56] <techjim> everything was fine in eft but now I have this mouse cursor issue.  I think its because my graphics card doesn't have enough RAM to remember everything on the screen so it just leaves dated stuff, but this wasn't always the case on ubuntu
[22:56] <RobJ> soundray, i meant to say /dev/sdb3
[22:56] <techjim> Pelo: restricted

[22:56] <John_R> anybody know a good repository app for recording guitart tracks?
[22:56] <andreas_> truckin: Hmm.. How do i get accses to the hdd then? Cant paste files ther or change settings
[22:56] <scguy318> fantum13: anything of interest in syslog?
[22:56] <orion1> joeb3_: let me try give me a sec i just rebooted the server
[22:56] <daemon3> Is anyone getting me?
[22:56] <fantum13> scguy318: ndiswrapper loads successfully, but it doesn't claim its usual IRQ
[22:56] <daemon3> Can anyone see the words I'm typing?
[22:56] <soundray> RobJ: I think it might be easier to remove the swap partition, expand /dev/sdb3 into that space, then subdivide /dev/sdb1 into a 1GB swap and a 67GB home
[22:56] <joeb3_> orion1, vncserver -kill :1
[22:57] <Pelo> techjim,  got compiz working ? turn it off , see if it gets better
[22:57] <truckin> andreas_ : when you mount drives or partitions, you must specify permissions and filesystem types properly. Highly advise you to read the ubuntu help pages on the mount command, its not hard.
[22:57] <techjim> Pelo: how do I turn it off? desktop effects- already tried
[22:57] <scguy318> fantum13: hmm dunno

[22:57] <soundray> RobJ: then all you need to do is move your /home data to the new 67GB one and adapt /etc/fstab so it mounts this as home.

[22:59] <ompaul> truckin, ! or botsname - don't need botjh
[22:59] <soundray> RobJ: once you've set up the partitions as you want them, you should boot a live CD and use that to move the data and adapt fstab. I'm sure you'll find someone here who will help you if need be.
[22:59] <truckin> ompaul - ok, thank you
[22:59] <kinglet> when I'm installing, Its stop in 82% and do not anything else
[22:59] <orion1> joeb3_: is this what you have installed on your server to use vncserver? "sudo apt-get install vnc-common tightvncserver"
[22:59] <fantum13> Would anyone know anything about the current wireless card problems on HP laptops? My card is gone and I kinda need it...
