[12:52] <Sakireth_> zsh: I don't think there are libraries for that in PHP
[12:52] <thefish> paulm: ok, just look to see if you have that installed
[12:52] <Sakireth_> zsh: For such tasks, try python
[12:52] <paulm> thefish and according to synaptic i have that installed already
[12:52] <zsh> ok. thanks sakireth
[12:52] <Sakireth_> zsh: If you have system enabled, you can use a trick to integrate python into PHP
[12:52] <Sakireth_> you're welcome, zsh.
[12:52] <kouwe> wtf, "Installer crashed" .... ?
[12:53] <paulm> thefish  do i need to activate it in mplayer some how?
[12:53] <zsh> i wanted to upload joomla to my webhost so i think i'll first convert the archive to zip sakireth
[12:53] <thefish> paulm: no
[12:53] <Sakireth_> okay, zsh.
[12:53] <dsas> skype is a qt thing isn't it?
[12:54] <thefish> paulm: it should "just work" (TM)
[12:54] <ardchoille> Which command/app is launched when I choose System -> Quit? I'd like to put it in my openbox menus.
[12:54] <Sakireth_> thefish: stands for Microsoft? with the quotes? :P
[12:54] <paulm> thefish   lol  :-)   well...its not
[12:54] <thefish> paulm: it could be that the wmv is encoded with some wierd proprietary kaka
[12:54] <dsas> ardchoille: I have a faint idea that it's not a seperate executable but part of gnome-panel itself, could be totally wrong though.
[12:54] <thefish> heh
[12:55] <Sakireth_> y'know..
[12:55] <thefish> paulm: have you tried other wmv files?
[12:55] <ardchoille> dsas: Ahh, I'll investigate that.
[12:55] <paulm> thefish  I have realplayer if that would do it? Yeah it probably is encoded
[12:55] <paulm> thefish from the same site yes, and none work
[12:55] <thefish> paulm: not sure if realplayer can do wmv
[12:55] <dsas> ardchoille: Also be aware that the Ubuntu quit menu is different to all other distributions.
[12:55] <kalila> how do you list users in irssi :/
[12:55] <dooglus> zsh: $handle = popen('tmp xf tar.bz2', 'r'); $read = fread($handle, 2096);
[12:55] <Sakireth_> I'd appreciate it if someone would help me with my problem, although I am not forcing you: How to keep my current Ubuntu installation but make plenty room for Windows so I can install Windows?
[12:55] <thefish> paulm: try another site
[12:55] <thefish> pr0n!
[12:55] <jrib> kalila: /names
[12:55] <thefish> hehehe

[12:56] <kalila> jrib: thanks
[12:56] <jrib> kalila: there is also a script to keep a list on the side of your screen iirc
[12:56] <zsh> thanks dooglus i'll try that
[12:57] <ardchoille> kalila: /names -count will give you just a user count of the channel, fwiw.
[12:57] <dooglus> zsh: you might find that popen is disabled, if system is.
[12:57] <dooglus> zsh: since they are able to do the same kind of stuff
[12:57] <Sakireth_> I was just gonna say that, dooglus.
[12:57] <zsh> ok,dooglus
[12:57] <kalila> ardchoille: 736 in #ubuntu, quit a lot
[12:58] <Sakireth_> .... Err... guys?
[12:58] <ardchoille> kalila: :)
[12:58] <zsh> dooglus,its disabled
[12:58] <paulm> thefish ok, i can get the plugin for FireFox to work  http://www.linspire.com/file_types/wmv_sample.php  but files i downloaded dont work.
[12:58] <paulm> thefish as you said they could be encoded specially or some crap like that
[12:59] <thefish> paulm: but that would mean you could not play it in anything
[12:59] <thefish> Sakireth_: have you tried parted?
[12:59] <thefish> Sakireth_: or qtparted
[12:59] <Sakireth_> thefish: but.. resizing the linux partiation, what will ahppen?
[01:00] <thefish> Sakireth_: yeap
[01:00] <thefish> Sakireth_: what fs?
[01:00] <Sakireth_> thefish: ext3
[01:00] <Schalken> i have a certain cd that, when i right click on and go "Copy CD..." to a file, it sits there with the bar gone across 1 pixel and the cdrom drive making a looping cd-reading sound. it eventually stops interacting with the cdrom and sits there doing nothing. is there a way I can find out what's wrong?
[01:00] <Sakireth_> and i can't resize it
[01:00] <thefish> Sakireth_: http://www.hermann-uwe.de/blog/resizing-ext3-partitions-with-parted
[01:00] <Sakireth_> thanks ^^
[01:01] <thefish> ;)
[01:01] <thefish> now who knows about lvm
[01:01] <paulm> thefish the downloaded files CANNOT be played in anything, VLC Xine nothing. the streamed one  can be, with the mplayer plugin for firefox
[01:01] <Sakireth_> aha.. so i should boot from a rescue disc?
[01:02] <thefish> Sakireth_: probably, you will need to have the partitions unmounted iirc
[01:02] <FusE> Can someone help me
[01:02] <FusE> how do I set the virtual desktop to 1024x768
[01:02] <infernix> vlc, if compiled with the right options, can use win32 codecs to play WMV and the likes
[01:02] <Sakireth_> thefish: hmm.
[01:02] <Sakireth_> thefish: ubuntu rescue disc to the rescue (feel the irony)
[01:02] <thefish> heh
[01:02] <burepe> I read that to play a dvd you need 128 memory (256 recommended) so why can I not get smooth play back with 512 in my machine?
[01:02] <FusE> how do I set the virtual desktop to 1024x768
[01:03] <thefish> Sakireth_: check out knoppix as well, its a nifty rescue system
[01:03] <FusE> how do I set the virtual desktop to 1024x768 ????
[01:03] <ardchoille> burepe: Is the movie "jerky"?
[01:03] <burepe> yeah
[01:03] <Schalken> FusE: you mean System -> Prefrences -> Screen Resolution?

[01:10] <robinl1> mykeyboard plain sucks.
[01:10] <dooglus> king: install "build-essential"
[01:10] <helpmeee> jatt: where in there?
[01:10] <telmich> king: apt-get install make (as root)
[01:10] <jrib> king: what software are you trying to install?
[01:10] <robinl1> the space bar doesn't work well, some keys don't work well andthe shift key refuses to work
[01:10] <jatt> telmich: sudo apt-get install make
[01:10] <robinl1> mykeyboard is a hellspawn.
[01:11] <robinl1> anyways... i can't resize the ext3 partitions, they are not mounted.. what do I do?
[01:11] <telmich> jatt: sorry, not conform with ubuntus way of live yet :)
[01:11] <king> jrib: Im tryin to install Bestcrypt for Linux
[01:11] <dooglus> robinl1: that depends on why you can resize them
[01:11] <dockane> hi all.. does anyone know, why khubd constantly uses up nearly all CPU performance? (top says 96.6)
[01:11] <dsas> general question: anyone idea if all of these "skype phones" I keep seeing, will work with ekiga.
[01:12] <jatt> dsas: I doubt it, ekiga is the new name for gnomemeeting AFAIK.
[01:12] <dooglus> robinl1: why you can't, sorry
[01:12] <sspy> In whitch countries Ubunty corp. sends Free CDs ??
[01:12] <robinl1> dooglus;i don't knowhy..
[01:12] <jrib> king: oh ok, just wanted to make sure that it wasn't available in the repositories.  But I searched for best crypt, and it didn't show up
[01:12] <helpmeee> jatt: I found the place to maybe help me :X it was the first site I went to and I believe I did there stuff rite but it still wont work
[01:12] <dooglus> robinl1: what happens when you try?
[01:12] <robinl1> dooglus; the menu entryis gray.
[01:12] <king> jrib: searched for it too but Couldnt find it
[01:12] <dsas> jatt: right, i know what ekiga is. I just wasn't sure to what extent the phone hardware is dependant on skype. Or whether it was just a marketing thing.
[01:13] <dsas> sspy: Any.
[01:13] <sspy> thx
[01:13] <jatt> helpmeee: can you listen mp3s from the command line? E.g.: mpg123 <your_mp3_file>
[01:13] <king> jrib: Im using the instruction here: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=84796&highlight=bestcrypt
[01:13] <king> It downloads, unpacks but I cant get the make command to work
[01:14] <robinl1> king: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[01:14] <FusE> Does banshe run off of itunes playlists?
[01:15] <robinl1> dooglus; the menu entry is gray.
[01:15] <damotor> hi
[01:15] <damotor> how can I use my camcorder as webcam in linux?
[01:15] <king> Thanks Robinll will try that once I have upgraded and booted to dapper
[01:15] <robinl1> k, king ^^
[01:16] <jatt> dsas: I didn't know about those phones until now, I looked some now in amazon, cool they exist. But anyway I think they would support the (proprietary) skype protocol only.
[01:16] <NthDegree> ok i'm back and this is old but WineX is the free CVS version of cedega without the proprietary bits
[01:16] <helpmeee> jatt: mpg123.. cmd not found :X im using kubuntu.. not sure if that would make a huge difference
[01:16] <dsas> jatt: Ok, thanks for looking. I'll continue on to dig some details. It looks like *some* may also support sip.
[01:17] <dsas> jatt: (though whether or not they work on linux is another thing :))
[01:17] <NthDegree> so yes WineX is still in existance, it's on transgaming's own site and you can get it via CVS - it is cedega but free :)
[01:17] <cntb>  i have permission denied on vfat partition what to add to fstab for write permissions ?
[01:18] <king> Oh Man Im a hardcore Microsoft lover but im falling in love with Linux! I really want to ditch XP and use Linux as my main system :)
[01:18] <FusE> is there a mp3 or media player that uses itunes playlists?
[01:18] <Canopus> Hello everyone
[01:18] <Sakireth__> I can't resize the ext3 partitions, they are not mounted.. what do I do? the menu entry on qtparted is gray
[01:18] <Noia> ubuntu does have ntfs support right _
[01:18] <NthDegree> Noia, you can install NTFS support
[01:19] <Noia> NthDegree:  whats the package name, do you know?
[01:19] <DarkMageZ> Noia, ubuntu can read ntfs, but cannot write without 3rd party software
[01:19] <NthDegree> not sure because Linux cannot fully support NTFS partitions that have been written to by windows
[01:19] <Noia> DarkMageZ:  I can't mount my NTFS partition though
[01:19] <king> I just hope i could use partitions vice versa between Win and Linux. But I dont twant to make all my NTFS drives to FAT32
[01:20] <Kaja> NTFS can be used via ntfs-3g or captive.
[01:20] <NthDegree> king you can, just convert your NTFS partitions to ext2 and use the windows ext2 driver :p
[01:20] <Kaja> (readwrite)
[01:20] <NthDegree> Kaja, not properly it can't because Linux *cannot* support windows FS permissions
[01:20] <Kaja> True.
[01:21] <king> Nthdegree: But i still need access from Windows to these drives. at least for a while
[01:21] <NthDegree> well you can simply in that case install the unsafe NTFS support
[01:22] <NthDegree> if anything goes wrong chkdsk will solve it
[01:22] <Sakireth__> anyone?
[01:22] <Sakireth__> *is waiting for half an hour now8
[01:22] <NthDegree> what is the issue sakireth?
[01:22] <Sakireth__> I can't resize the ext3 partitions, they are not mounted.. what do I do? the menu entry on qtparted is gray
[01:22] <NthDegree> use gparted
[01:22] <Sakireth__> that's not on the knoppix cd
[01:22] <NthDegree> qtparted is very flawed from what I have used of it
[01:22] <Dolittle> Hi all
[01:22] <king> Nthdegree: I have read about that but I dont want to risk my NTFS partitions getting corrupted
[01:23] <NthDegree> king, the risk is minimalist *if* the driver works correctly the files get given "everyone, full control" permissions
[01:23] <Subhuman> king, uses ntfs-3g driver
[01:23] <Canopus> i am get an error when i shutdown my laptop "Shutting down periodic command scheduler   [failed] " ... anyone that can help?
[01:23] <Subhuman> king, it has full read/write support
[01:23] <NthDegree> and chkdsk fixes errors remember
[01:24] <Tomcat__> Canopus: Check syslog what it says about shutting down "cron".
[01:24] <NthDegree> Canopus there should be no problem with that
[01:24] <NthDegree> it won't cause any damage AFAIK
[01:24] <Sakireth__> NthDegree: that's not on the knoppix cd
[01:24] <mejobloggs> NthDegree: what? I need IIS isntalled for VMWare Server??
[01:25] <king> Nthdegree, Subhuman: I might test it but does the write support for NTFS really work and is it fully tested? Why there isnt a official NTFS support?
[01:25] <NthDegree> mejobloggs, you shouldn't do
[01:25] <NthDegree> windows XP has IIS builtin so it should be ok
[01:25] <mejobloggs> NthDegree: it says its required for VMware Management Interface
[01:25] <NthDegree> king, because NTFS is proprietary
[01:25] <mejobloggs> NthDegree: what if you have XP Home?
[01:25] <Subhuman> king, it works for sure, itz been extensively tested, (this is ntfs-3g driver} , their is no official ntfs support because microsoft refuse to open the source for it
[01:26] <NthDegree> mejobloggs it is available on XP home too
[01:26] <Sakireth__> NthDegree: gparted is not on the knoppix cd
[01:26] <Subhuman> Sakireth__, use the gparted live cd
[01:26] <NthDegree> Sakireth, try gnoppix instead of knoppix
[01:26] <Subhuman> itz only 30mb or so
[01:26] <Subhuman> NthDegree, no point
[01:26] <NthDegree> or as Subhuman says :)
[01:26] <Subhuman> use the gparted live cd.
[01:26] <Subhuman> saves him a fat download.
[01:26] <confrey> hi everybody
[01:26] <NthDegree> yeah true
[01:26] <NthDegree> hi confrey
[01:27] <confrey> is there a way to install ubuntu in text mode from live cd?
[01:27] <Canopus> Tomcat_ : nothing
[01:27] <king> Ok I give ntfs-3g drivers a chance! Thanks everyone for Helping! Very much appreciated
[01:27] <NthDegree> confrey, get the alternate CD
[01:27] <NthDegree> that is the old text mode installer
[01:27] <Sakireth__> nthDegree; i can't burn cd's rightnpw
[01:28] <NthDegree> uh Sakireth, you don't know how to use CDRecord?
[01:28] <NthDegree> or no CD-RW drive?
[01:28] <Canopus> sakireth__: read the wiki on how to mount iso
[01:28] <Sakireth__> nthdegree: No  mycd burner isvery slow and the cdburner downstairs is takenby my father.
[01:29] <Subhuman> Sakireth__, itz only a 30mb iso, it wont take long even with a slow burner.
[01:29] <NthDegree> Sakireth__, note that a 30MB CD even at 1x is very fast burning
[01:29] <Sakireth__> ok
[01:29] <Canopus> any one can shed any light on how to get my wireless card working
[01:29] <Subhuman> Canopus, do an "lspci" and tell me what wifi card you got?
[01:29] <asad2005> liferea is repeating feeds, is there a way to get rid of this problem
[01:30] <NthDegree> yo i'll bbiab once i've installed fedora to complete my multiboots
[01:30] <Canopus> ok Subhuman
[01:30] <Tomcat__> asad2005: Repeating? I haven't had that problem... whatever it is.
[01:30] <Canopus> Subhuman: 2200 BG
[01:31] <Subhuman> Canopus, i mean the whole line.
[01:31] <Subhuman> 0000:00:12.0 Ethernet controller: VIA Technologies, Inc. VT6102 [Rhine-II]  (rev 74) like that
[01:31] <Canopus> Subhuman: 0000:02:02.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 2200BG (rev 05)
[01:31] <Subhuman> Canopus, oh an intel 2200 is supported
[01:31] <Subhuman> !2200
[01:31] <ubotu> I know nothing about 2200 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:31] <Subhuman> !wifi
[01:31] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs with Broadcom Specifics at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper
[01:32] <Canopus> Subhuman: but NetweokManager doesn't seem to sense it
[01:32] <Subhuman> Canopus, ill jus get a link for ya
[01:32] <Canopus> Subhuman, the only thing that appears there is wired network connection
[01:32] <babo> what's the character that'll make sed match a newline again ? ... I'm using \n at the moment but it doesn't seem to work ... sed -n '/words\n/p' file ... ?
[01:33] <Subhuman> Canopus,  http://ipw2200.sourceforge.net/
[01:33] <asad2005> Tomcat_, yes I have a feed that updates every 15 minutes and after reading the news from that feed the same feeds reappears the next update
[01:33] <Subhuman> theres the drivers for it
[01:33] <Canopus> Subhuman, i can see it though in network settings, but when i make it my default gateway ... no connectivity, and the key is correct
[01:33] <Tomcat__> asad2005: Weird. Happens for all feeds or just a specific? It might be a badly coded feed...
[01:34] <Subhuman>  Canopus yes you need the firmware AND the drivers, i jus gave you a link
[01:34] <king> Hmm ntfs-3g looks good
[01:34] <asad2005> Tomcat_, I think its one feed
[01:34] <Subhuman> Canopus, it will detect it but it wont know how to interface with it withouyt the driver.
[01:35] <Mnabil> hello guys, i'm using ubuntu dapper LTS ,    how can i enable the module "libapache2-mod-php5 " which link php5 and apache2
[01:35] <stefg> !lamp
[01:35] <ubotu> lamp is a shortcut for Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}. To setup a LAMP server on Ubuntu, install the packages libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, and mysql-server-5.0. You can also choose 'install a LAMP server' from the server install cd boot menu. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[01:35] <Subhuman> Mnabil, you just install it, and thats it.
[01:35] <Subhuman> Mnabil, "sudo apt-get install libapache2-mod-php5
[01:35] <king> !make
[01:35] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[01:36] <Canopus> Mnabil, yeah its really hassle free, just did it yesterday
[01:36] <tuxtux> ciao
[01:36] <Subhuman> king,  "sudo apt-get install build-essential" thats the only thing you need to compile apps.
[01:36] <m_0_r_0_n> Firefox crashs very often without any message. Any idea how to find out, what to problem is?
[01:36] <Subhuman> king, > checkinstall
[01:36] <Mnabil> Subhuman, no i was good, but naw, i isn't
[01:36] <Subhuman> !checkinstall
[01:36] <ubotu> checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CheckInstall  -  Please: Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page.
[01:36] <Tomcat__> asad2005: You should check with other feed readers then... or post a bug in launchpad. Might be the feed.
[01:37] <Mnabil> Subhuman, it doesn't work naw , i dunno why , and when i remove the module, it say that module was disabled or not exist
[01:37] <king> Thanks Subhuman. Oh why cant there just be a file that you click and everything installs, like in Windows :rolleyes:
[01:38] <Subhuman> king, yes itz called Synaptic....
[01:38] <Subhuman> !synaptic
[01:38] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto
[01:38] <Subhuman> but not everything is in synpatic
[01:38] <king> Im am aware of Synaptic =D
[01:38] <Subhuman> well then no complaining :D
[01:38] <Subhuman> apt > *
[01:38] <babo> Guys, I'm trying to parse the name out of  this line
[01:38] <babo>         <td><h2>Name</h2></td>
[01:38] <babo>         <td><p>N. Michael Thompson</p></td>
[01:39] <babo> How can I do that exactly, if sed ignores newlines ... ?
[01:39] <Mnabil> ???????????????????
 but not everything is in synpatic <--- not?
[01:40] <king> But when I download program from web, it would be easy if there would be file similar to windows (install.exe) and the program installs. Is's a big hassle to install a small program in Linux cos you need so much command line.
[01:40] <Subhuman> king, it can be done in one line 80% of the time
[01:40] <king> Will Linux ever be real competitor to windows if basic things are so hard to do.....
[01:40] <Tomcat__> king: How is using synaptic "much command line"? :o
[01:40] <Subhuman> king,  "./configure && make && sudo checkinstall"
[01:40] <Tomcat__> king: They are not hard. They are different.
[01:41] <king> But as I said I am Linux/Unix beginner but im developing...
[01:41] <Subhuman> i think installing in windows is hard work!
[01:41] <ardchoille> king: Competitor? IMHO, Windows died 6 years ago ;)
[01:41] <Subhuman> click next about 100 times.... in the first place you have to FIND software
[01:41] <Subhuman> itz not all just in a list for you.
[01:42] <Tomcat__> Last time I wanted to install a graphics driver in Windows, that was hard work... 20+M driver (yay ATI!)... then you need .NET 2.0 (another 10+M) first... then you need the Windows Genuine Advantage app to check your goddamn license... and so on. That's hard. :)
[01:43] <Tomcat__> Oh well, I'm going offtopic :)
[01:43] <king> Im falling in love with Linux but C'mon Linux isnt ready for a large scale desktop usage among regular users. Nothing works without errors. U need days to configure Linux. Like no granny or papa cant do that
[01:43] <ardchoille> king: Please take it to #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:44] <Tomcat__> king: I didn't say it was.... but package management is not a drawback. :)
[01:44] <Mnabil> hay guys isaid i need fucken help
[01:44] <king> I dont need to moan it anymore
[01:44] <bjorn-> Mnabil: please sir, language!
[01:44] <king> Im very gratefull for all the help that I gotten in here!
[01:44] <Mnabil> bjorn-, i 'm asking here get no answer
[01:44] <bjorn-> Mnabil: that's proposterous!
[01:44] <wildman> hello *
[01:45] <bjorn-> I understand you're upset
[01:45] <bjorn-> how much did you pay?
[01:45] <wildman> if I install an rpm package through alien, will I be able to uninstall it afterwards?
[01:45] <Tomcat__> wildman: Yes.
[01:45] <Dolittle> !tell Dolittle about mplayer
[01:45] <ardchoille> Mnabil: If no one can help you with your issue, what should we say?
[01:45] <Tomcat__> wildman: alien just converts a package to .deb, then you install it through the package manager.
[01:45] <River> I installed postgres 7.4 using apt-get install, during configuration it said it was obsolete. what is the apt-get command to get the latest postgres ?
[01:45] <wildman> Tomcat_, ok, thx. I'll try
[01:45] <Dolittle> !tell Dolittle about citrix
[01:46] <Tomcat__> River: apt-get install postgres should work
[01:46] <Dolittle> !tell Dolittle about kde4
[01:46] <Tomcat__> River: apt-get install postgresql :)
[01:47] <Mnabil> bjorn-, pay for what
[01:47] <Mnabil> ?@
[01:47] <Dolittle> !tell Dolittle about x1800
[01:47] <ubotu> I know nothing about x1800 - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[01:47] <Dolittle> !tell Dolittle about ati
[01:47] <River> tomcat_: do I need to uninstall 7.4 first ?
[01:47] <Tomcat__> River: Yes, because postgresql will only install the latest (7.5) version, if 7.4 is not installed.
[01:48] <yango> Tomcat_, there's no postgresql 7.5
[01:48] <Tomcat__> River: Eh... I just noticed it will install 7.4
[01:48] <Tomcat__> yango: Yeah, just seen it. :)
[01:48] <yango> from 7.4 it jumps to 8.0 and 8.1
[01:48] <River> tomcat: latest version is 8.1 ...
[01:48] <Tomcat__> River: 8.1 is not in the package database... only 8.0
[01:49] <Tomcat__> River: Install postgresql-8.0 then.
[01:49] <Tomcat__> River: It will automatically uninstall 7.4
[01:49] <River> tomcat_: ok .. thanks ... do i need to uninstall 7.4 or is there an upgrade to 8.1 ?
[01:49] <Dolittle> !tell Dolittle about fonts
[01:50] <gnomefreak> Dolittle: dont play with the bot
[01:50] <River> tomcat_: excellent .. thank you
[01:50] <River> tomcat: will try that now ... thank again
[01:50] <ic56> In windows, you can paste over a highlighted field, thus overwriting its content.  In X, hightlighting an item, such as the target URL in Firefox, automatically puts it in the paste buffer, overwritting any previous pastebuffer content.  This is tiresome.  Is there an easier way in X?
[01:51] <king> After all these years big software houses (like Adobe) arent supporting Linux. Of course there's Gimp but It's not Photoshop.
[01:51] <Tomcat__> ic56: Use the desktop manager's clipboard... Ctrl-C, Ctrl-V
[01:51] <offroadgeek> hello... /etc/init.d/hotplug is missing... how do I install hotplug in dapper?  (ie. is it a kernel module that I load manually or a package to install?)
[01:51] <ardchoille> ic56: CTRL+c the first highlight, then highlight the target text and do CTRL+v
[01:51] <Tomcat__> offroadgeek: afaik, hal replaced hotplug
[01:52] <gnomefreak> Dolittle: dont pm people without asking first please
[01:52] <Tomcat__> king: And all the good software (good licenses, fun things) are in Linux. How long did people need to come up with a good desktop manager for Windows?
[01:52] <offroadgeek> Tomcat__: thanks
[01:52] <Noia> erm. why didn't ubuntu inform me of my damn root password =\
[01:52] <ic56> Tomcat__, ardchoille: hmm, ^C doesn't work in Terminal.  How do I cut from there?
[01:53] <Tomcat__> !tell noia about rootsudo
[01:53] <ardchoille> ic56: ctrl+shift+c and ctrl+shift+v
[01:53] <santa99> !rootsudo
[01:53] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[01:53] <Tomcat__> ic56: Shift-Ctrl-C
[01:53] <Tomcat__> Noia: In short: You don't need a root pw on Ubuntu.
[01:54] <king> Tomcat_: Yes Windows has lots of probloms, it's buggy yes Linux rox but still Im amazed that after all these years big sofware vendors arent porting their software to Linux. It's a shame.
[01:54] <Tomcat__> king: Let's go to #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:54] <king> Ok tomcat
[01:54] <ic56> Tomcat__, ardchoille: Aaaaah! I see the light!  Thank you folks!
[01:54] <ardchoille> ic56: You're welcome :)
[01:56] <babo> How do I pull the (.*) out of this sed command ? ... sed -n '/<td><p>\(.*\)<\/p><\/td>/p'
[01:56] <ic56> babo: with \1
[01:57] <babo> ic56: doesn't work I'm afraid .. :-(
[01:57] <babo> I think it's the p at the end ...
[01:57] <bahadirt> hello
[01:58] <bahadirt> I finally configured a part of postfix
[01:58] <ic56> babo: is this the actual script?  It doesn't contain (s)ubstitute command...  Tell me exactly what you need done, I'll tell you how to do it.
[01:58] <bahadirt> I can send emails logging on over the telnet to port 25
[01:58] <bahadirt> but have I can config postfix to handle mails coming in
[01:58] <bahadirt> ?
[01:58] <f00bar> hi, anyone here using an Intel Pro Wireless 3945 chipset?
[01:58] <mejobloggs> what is 'Install in OEM mode' ?
[01:59] <javiolo> is there any way to manipulate firestarter from terminal _
[01:59] <bahadirt> I tried to send email to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>and it failed
[01:59] <babo> ic56: I need the name out of this line ... <td><p>N. Michael Thompson</p></td>
[01:59] <babo> How do I pull the (.*) out of this sed command ? ... sed -n '/<td><p>\(.*\)<\/p><\/td>/\1p'
[01:59] <babo> oopss .... sorry ...
[02:00] <jrib> babo: sed -rn 's#<td><p>(.*)</p></td>#\1#p' <<< "<td><p>N. Michael Thompson</p></td>"
[02:00] <ic56> babo: sed -n 's/<td><p>(.*)</p></td>/1/p'
[02:00] <bimberi> mejobloggs: it's a special install mode on the alternate CD - lets you set up a PC suitable for sale in a store
[02:01] <bimberi> mejobloggs: that it, all the software is installed and the first thing it does when booted is ask the user to set up the first account
[02:01] <ic56> babo: sed -n 's/<td><p>\(.*\)</p></td>/1/p'  (sorry, my irc is configured to eat backslashes)
[02:01] <javiolo> !tell mejobloggs about alternate
[02:01] <babo> ic56: the second one gives me 'unknown option s' ...
[02:01] <bimberi> *that is
[02:01] <ic56> babo: second one?
[02:01] <javiolo> is there any way to manipulate firestarter from terminal _
[02:01] <ardchoille> bimberi: That is a nice mode there
[02:02] <f00bar> I'm not able to get my laptop to connect to the Linksys router. iwlook can find the accesspoint, the daemon for the card works, but no ap is assigned to the card
[02:02] <mejobloggs> well, I am wanting to do a 'minimun install', where I get to chose only the things i want to isntall. What mode is that? (I have the alternate iso btw)
[02:02] <babo> ic56: the second sed expression you gave me ...
[02:02] <bimberi> ardchoille: it is :)
[02:02] <brutopia> javiolo: iptables
[02:02] <studprog> Hi all -- anybody here have experience with apt-mirror ... I'm trying to make a mirror but i've noticed that it doesn't fetch the newest files ..
[02:02] <babo> sed -n 's/....
[02:02] <ic56> babo: oh, wait, there's slashes in your pattern.  Use jrib's pattern.  It's right.
[02:02] <jrib> ic56: you have too many / / / /
[02:02] <bimberi> mejobloggs: that would be an 'expert' install (iirc)
[02:02] <javiolo> brutopia isnt firestarter a front end of iptables_
[02:02] <mejobloggs> k thanks bimberi
[02:02] <babo> oh sorry, I though both of them were from you ... I missed jribs one ...
[02:03] <brutopia> javiolo: that's correct
[02:03] <bimberi> mejobloggs: np :)
[02:03] <mejobloggs> bimberi: ah, I dont have that option
[02:03] <javiolo> brutopia I want a easy way to open/close ports via terminal
[02:03] <ic56> babo: sed -n 's|<td><p>\(.*\)</p></td>|\1|p'
[02:04] <bimberi> mejobloggs: it was a breezy install option - try typing 'expert' at the boot prompt
[02:04] <javiolo> brutopia firestarter cant work in terminal _
[02:04] <javiolo> damn question mark
[02:04] <brutopia> javiolo: no shit?
[02:04] <ic56> babo: this last one is right.  It's also consistent with your original usage (ie no extended REs)
[02:05] <javiolo> brutopia what
[02:05] <brutopia> javiolo: just learn to use iptables
[02:05] <poningru> hehe
[02:05] <studprog> hi - i'm looking for an easy way to make a local repository -- i've tried to used apt-mirror, but it does not get all the files i want ... What did you use (if you've made a mirror)
[02:05] <brutopia> then you can write scripts to automate tasks with it
[02:05] <babo> ic56: excellent, thanks ... and also to jrib ... I'm not sure why mine didn't work though :-/
[02:05] <javiolo> hehe
[02:06] <babo> too many slashes ?
[02:06] <poningru> javiolo: what are you trying to do/
[02:06] <poningru> ?
[02:06] <ardchoille> What is the command to log out of gnome properly? I need the command to put in my menu.
[02:06] <ic56> babo: yours was telling sed to print teh entire line.
[02:06] <javiolo> poningru I have firestarter installed, and I was asking if I could use it on the terminal
[02:07] <bahadirt> can someone help with postfix pop
[02:07] <spa-berlin> hi all
[02:07] <ic56> babo: mine begins with an s (Substitute) which tells it to *modify* the line.  The trailing p tells it to print after modifying.
[02:07] <javiolo> poningru sometimes when I connect via ssh I want to open a certain port
[02:07] <}btorch{> how can I burn a dd image that I have created and installed ubuntu using debootstrap onto a CD and make that CD bootable ?
[02:07] <ic56> babo: does that answer it?
[02:08] <}btorch{> is it possible
[02:08] <ardchoille> javiolo: You can type firestarter --help and there are some options, but not many
[02:08] <mdke> how can I extract a src.rpm? gnome doesn't seem to handle it
[02:08] <babo> ic56: ok cool thanks :)
[02:08] <poningru> ah
[02:08] <ardchoille> mdke: iirc, file-roller handles .rpm files
[02:08] <ic56> babo: yw!
[02:08] <mdke> ardchoille: not for me :/
[02:09] <ardchoille> :(
[02:09] <mdke> Archive type not supported.
[02:09] <f00bar> mdke: use alien to convert to a tar
[02:10] <spa-berlin> anybody know how i can boot into my ubuntu system using a live cd (Damn small linux). I broke my ubuntu. :(
[02:10] <f00bar> you might have to download the package though
[02:10] <javiolo> ardchoille thanks
[02:10] <mdke> f00bar: I'm convinced that there must be a way to directly extract it using file-roller
[02:10] <ardchoille> javiolo: You're welcome :)
[02:11] <javiolo> I think ill have to use iptables...
[02:11] <spa-berlin> I removed a running kernel and that removed the kerenl initfs package.
[02:11] <jbrimble2> I can't use debian backports.org with Ubuntu, can I?
[02:11] <spa-berlin> not even fix broken system works
[02:11] <etudiants> f
[02:11] <ardchoille> jbrimble2: Not a good idea to use *any* debian repos
[02:12] <mdke> ah, installing "rpm" has worked
[02:12] <jbrimble2> Is there an equivilant of backports.org for Ubuntu?
[02:12] <f00bar> mdke: what did you do?
[02:12] <RedGhost> newbie question: is there a keyboard shortcut to easy switch workspaces, and or possibly to launch the terminal?
[02:12] <javiolo> !backports
[02:12] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports
[02:12] <jbrimble2> Thanks
[02:13] <f00bar> redghost: ctrl + alt + arrow should switch workspaces
[02:13] <ardchoille> RedGhost: ctrl+alt+left/right arrow
[02:13] <RedGhost> thanks both :)
[02:13] <mdke> f00bar: I installed the package "rpm"
[02:13] <RedGhost> is there a way to have the terminal to a key shortcut?
[02:14] <ardchoille> RedGhost: You can setup kb shortcuts in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts
[02:14] <RedGhost> gracious
[02:14] <ardchoille> RedGhost: I have mine open and there is alreadu a "run a terminal" entry, just need to define a kb shortcut for it
[02:15] <RedGhost> yes perfect, thank you :)
[02:15] <ardchoille> You're welcome :)
[02:15] <king> Question: How to tweak memory settings in linux? Im not sure if linux is using all the memory available
[02:16] <jbrimble2> whats the current Ubuntu release called?
[02:16] <RedGhost> ubuntu doesnt come with xchat by default anymore?
[02:16] <RedGhost> dapper drake i think
[02:16] <king> Ubuntu Dapper 6.06
[02:16] <jbrimble2> thanks king
[02:16] <king> nb
[02:16] <default> Hi, I have a short question: I found, that my dapper has three scheduling applications (cron, anacron and atd) and two logging applications (klogd, syslogd) . Do I really need all three schedulers or can I delete for example anacron?
[02:16] <brutopia> king: would you like it to allocate more than it needs?
[02:16] <Sakireth__> how long does resizing a partition normally take?
[02:17] <king> I'd like to allocate all that's available for use. I have 700+ mg of memory
[02:17] <king> i meant megabites lol
[02:18] <jbrimble2> How can I connect via SCP to a Ubuntu system?
[02:18] <jbrimble2> It says connection refused
[02:18] <brutopia> king: how did you end up thinking it doesn't use everything that is available
[02:18] <ardchoille> jbrimble2: scp is not a connection protocol, scp is a secure copy app
[02:19] <king> I cant seems to find Memory options from anywhere or to even have the info how much memory is allocated to Linux. Pls help
[02:19] <mejobloggs> what kernal should i be isntalling? linux-386/linux-image-386/linux-image-2.6.15... ?
[02:19] <codecaine> 2.6.1526
[02:19] <codecaine> 2.6.1526
[02:19] <maatttt> hi all
[02:20] <inflex> is there a way to install tightVNC rather than realVNC into Ubuntu ?
[02:20] <brutopia> king: it uses everything that is available by default
[02:20] <king> Brutopia: I read from the Internet that U have to make sure linux knows about all the memory that's available... That's all I know
[02:20] <codecaine> 2.6.15-26
[02:20] <jbrimble2> alright, well why isn't there a root account in Ubuntu?
[02:20] <king> Brutopia: Ok I U say so..
[02:20] <inflex> I tried 'apt-get install tightvnc' to no avail
[02:20] <inflex> jbrimble2, because it's a user-desktop system :)
[02:20] <brutopia> king: that's because some bioses fail to report correct amount of memory but it's rare
[02:20] <codecaine> don't need one but you can make mone passwd root
[02:20] <jbrimble2> ah, right.
[02:20] <ardchoille> jbrimble2: there is a root account, but it's disabled for security reasons, you can use sudo for admin tasks
[02:20] <codecaine> one
[02:20] <king> aa ok. My bios should be up to date
[02:21] <jbrimble2> So i'm assuming ssh is also disabled?
[02:21] <maatttt> I try to run my python scripts on ubuntu ( ./myscript.py ) but they don't run.  but `python myscript.py` works fine.  why so?
[02:21] <inflex> aha! found tightvnc
[02:21] <mejobloggs> so, linux-image-2.6.15-23-386 ?
[02:21] <brutopia> maatttt: add #!/usr/bin/python as your first line
[02:21] <codecaine> no
[02:21] <inflex> jbrimble2, no, ssh is available
[02:21] <codecaine> have to install it
[02:21] <brutopia> and make sure file has rights to execute
[02:21] <jbrimble2> thankyou :)
[02:22] <maatttt> brutopia: hmm, I have #!/usr/bin/env python
[02:23] <brutopia> so use it
[02:23] <mejobloggs> linux-image-2.6.15-23-386 is the kernal to install?
[02:23] <brutopia> it instructs shell to use that interpreter to interpret following data
[02:23] <mejobloggs> what does the -image part of it mean?
[02:24] <brutopia> "which python" would have also shown where your python is located
[02:24] <Noia> I can't seem to connect to wifi nodes
[02:24] <brutopia> maatttt: oh you meant you have that env string already and it didn't work
[02:24] <Noia> does ubuntu support WPA ?
[02:24] <DavidJ> I'm looking for a program for Ubuntu that will do the same things Nero does in Windows. Can someone suggest a program?
[02:24] <maatttt> ok, but it works on my debian system.
[02:24] <brutopia> use which-command to find correct path
[02:25] <maatttt> `which python` == /usr/bin/python
[02:25] <brutopia> maatttt: /bin/env program is the standard way to find
[02:25] <brutopia> env program should be in /bin
[02:25] <brutopia> forget what I said, use #!/bin/env python
[02:26] <maatttt> ah, no `env`
[02:26] <jbrimble2> inflex, did you find tightvnc in apt-get? I'm trying to install it too
[02:26] <king> GOSH dapper upgrade is taking such a long time
[02:26] <mejobloggs> codecaine: linux-image-2.6.15-23-386 is the correct one to install? What does the -image part mean?
[02:26] <rufuzz> hello
[02:26] <ardchoille> !info tightvnc
[02:26] <king> But im getting it after having so much trouble :D
[02:26] <ubotu> Package tightvnc does not exist in dapper
[02:27] <jbrimble2> hmm
[02:27] <brutopia> is ubuntu going to include runit in place of init at some point?
[02:27] <jbrimble2> so i have to install vnc-common?
[02:27] <jbrimble2> is that secure?
[02:27] <brutopia> no
[02:27] <jbrimble2> alright, i'll probably give vnc a miss all together then
[02:27] <brutopia> jbrimble2: unless you pipe connections through secure pipe
[02:28] <inflex> jbrimble2, yes
[02:28] <inflex> jbrimble2, it's called xtightvncviewer
[02:28] <maatttt> is env command a package ?
[02:28] <inflex> jbrimble2, easiest way is to search in apt-cache first
[02:28] <inflex> jbrimble2, ie,   apt-cache search tightvnc
[02:28] <DavidJ> does ubuntu allow me to mount cd images or do I need a program for that?
[02:29] <jbrimble2> i searched, but didn't find anything. I'm looking for a server, not a viewer
[02:29] <ardchoille> DavidJ: You can mount .ISO, yes
[02:29] <maatttt> ack, I have /usr/bin/env
[02:29] <DavidJ> ardchoille:  what about other formats?
[02:30] <inflex> jbrimble2, it's there too... tightvncserver
[02:30] <ardchoille> DavidJ: Well, the mount app mounts file systems and a .ISO file is simply a finalised file system.
[02:30] <inflex> tightvncserver - virtual network computing server software
[02:31] <jbrimble2> inflex: Have you put any new sources into apt?
[02:31] <jbrimble2> because i don't see it
[02:31] <inflex> jbrimble2, mmm... I might have, I basically selected nearly all the sources
[02:31] <spa-berlin> what can i do to recover a system if the "recover briken system" option doesn't work?

[02:38] <spa-berlin> can't even boot into ubuntu with the fix broken system option on the install disk
[02:38] <alephant> but still no joy
[02:38] <Mnabil> so guys, i found the solution , some time libapache2-mod-php5  isnot enabled by default , what we can do is to links the module form /etc/apache2/mods-avilable to /etc/apache2/mods-enabled
[02:38] <alephant> any ideas what I can do to try and regain control?
[02:39] <spa-berlin> i think i borked the kernel
[02:39] <spa-berlin> alephant: are you on display 7?
[02:40] <speedy> i lost sound after upgrading some ubuntu packages
[02:40] <Noia> how do you get Wifi WPA support ?

[02:40] <alephant> spa-berlin
[02:40] <alephant> sorry

[02:40] <alephant> I didn't see the "7" :-)
[02:40] <alephant> 7 =~ ?
[02:41] <alephant> All I have to see on the screen is a blinking cursor on the top-left corner.  No getty.
[02:41] <alephant> I hit all the vc keystrokes (ctl+alt+f{1..7}) but no joy
[02:42] <spa-berlin> ok, sorry no help here :(
[02:42] <frogzoo> spa-berlin: well you could still fix this with a live cd, alternatively, reinstall
[02:42] <alephant> :-D
[02:42] <Sakireth__> oh, did she ask to FIX IT?
[02:42] <spa-berlin> dsl doesn#t want to boot either
[02:42] <void^> Noia: `less /usr/share/doc/wpasupplicant/README.modes`

[02:47] <de_latz> hi I have problems with the mod_rewrite with apache2, I 've read a bit in the forum but nothing helped! Any ideas?
[02:47] <musiclinux> i'm having major issues with the 2.6.15-26-x kernel. After updating i can't reach the graphical logon and it just freezes at the bootsplash. Any advice?
[02:47] <fr00d> Can somebody tell me how to write an @ with an american keyboardlayout?
[02:48] <frogzoo> fr00d: shift 2 ?
[02:48] <gatekeeper> !pastebin > gatekeeper
[02:48] <fr00d> frogzoo: thx!
[02:48] <frogzoo> o.O

[02:49] !lilo:*! ##earth is currently tracking Tropical Storm Beryl
[02:49] <gnomefreak> Sakireth__: dont play with the bot please
[02:49] <Sakireth__> bye
[02:49] <Sakireth__> ok
[02:49] <MrPockets> anyway to chance the crossover frequency for the audio in Ubuntu?
[02:50] <frogzoo> MrPockets: wasn't aware that pc sound cards separated frequency output?
[02:50] <Sanne> de_latz: I once collected some links to mod_rewrite refs and docs, do you want me to pastbin them for you? Other than that, I can't help yet with mod_rewrite myself.
[02:50] <de_latz> Sanne yeahh would be nice
[02:51] <gatekeeper> Flannel: So what do you make of that? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18435
[02:51] <Seveas> %unload Factoids
[02:51] <Seveas> %unload Encyclopedia
[02:51] <Sanne> de_latz: ok, sec.
[02:52] !lilo:*! We're continuing to look at our service disruption incident. It appears there was no actual Cogent depeering, though we've heard about incidents unconnected with freenode around 4:05am UTC when our problems occurred. If you have route loss incidents, unrelated to freenode, to contribute from around that time, please message me. Thanks.
[02:52] <MrPockets> fo0bar, fersher. digital equalizer in a 5.1 system throws the lows out to the center channel, where a physical, real crossover seperates lows into the woofer. highs from the card go into the satelite
[02:52] <Sakunix> how paintful is it to resize a swap space?
[02:53] <frogzoo> MrPockets: ah yes
[02:53] <naga44> hey hey
[02:53] <Sanne> de_latz: the first one is even in German ;) http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18436
[02:53] <naga44> is ther a way to reinstall ubuntu and save all my settings?
[02:53] <naga44> home dir?
[02:53] <Sakunix> naga44: Would hope so
[02:54] <naga44> hehe
[02:54] <de_latz> cheers :)
[02:54] <void^> Sakunix: not painful at all
[02:54] <rocky_> well there's just a few ppl here
[02:54] <naga44> will the installer ask about the home dir?..or do i have to save it?
[02:54] <MrPockets> i didnt think it was in alsamixer last time i was in tehre
[02:54] <MrPockets> but i havent checked
[02:54] <Sakunix> naga44: It wont..
[02:54] <Sanne> de_latz: you're welcome :)
[02:54] <naga44> ok..thanks
[02:54] <gatekeeper> naga44: use tar backup then restore the bits you need
[02:55] <myyr> hello
[02:55] <Sakunix> void^: how easy?
[02:55] <rocky_> hello myyr
[02:55] <rocky_> hi musiclinux
[02:55] <void^> Sakunix: you can deactivate and activate any swap spaces on the fly, and you can do whatever you want to inactive swap
[02:55] <Liquid-Silence> hi all
[02:56] <Liquid-Silence> today is the day I make the move!
[02:56] <Liquid-Silence> hehe
[02:56] <_jpierre> Liquid-Silence: Hi
[02:56] <Liquid-Silence> I am going to install Xubuntu
[02:56] <Liquid-Silence> in a few hours
[02:56] <Sakunix> void^: I am currently installing linux onto my xbox console and it has asked me to set the sizes of the swap and root file system because they are kept on the HDD as images
[02:56] <Seveas> Liquid-Silence, good luck!
[02:56] <mwe> is there a package which installs just basic gnome without abiword and what not?
[02:56] <gatekeeper> naga44: this will backup your whole system but can be suitable modified; http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=81311&highlight=HOWTO%3A+backup
[02:56] <Sakunix> so not sure how this is all going to work
[02:56] <bimberi> Liquid-Silence: onya!
[02:56] <Sakunix> So I now have a set root file system size ><
[02:56] <Seveas> Liquid-Silence, let me point you to #xubuntu - another help channel geared to the xubuntu specific bits
[02:57] <naga44> thanks gatekeeper
[02:57] <Liquid-Silence> I am in there thanks bro
[02:57] <gatekeeper> naga44: np :-)
[02:57] <Sakunix> void^: done at cmd line? or is there a gui for it
[02:57] <naga44> whenever i try to boot...ubuntu hangs on the third line of the output message...  waiting for mounted file system....
[02:58] <Liquid-Silence> Seveas I have decided to drop my .net development habbits
[02:58] <Liquid-Silence> and move into java
[02:58] <naga44> has anyone seen that?
[02:58] <Liquid-Silence> :)
[02:58] <void^> Sakunix: commandline of course.
[02:58] <Seveas> Liquid-Silence, you can do .net on linux too, with mono
[02:58] <Sakunix> void^: how hardmode is it?
[02:58] <Liquid-Silence> mono is not advanced enough
[02:58] <Liquid-Silence> :)
[02:58] <void^> Sakunix: you usually want a swap partition of something between your ram size and twice the ram size
[02:58] <mwe> can you somehow install just a basic gnome system without 500MB+ of extra stuff?
[02:58] <Liquid-Silence> Seveas do you mind i pm you?
[02:58] <Seveas> Liquid-Silence, not at all
[02:59] <Sakunix> void^: hehe I am runing linux with 64 mb of ram what do you suggest I set the swap ot?
[02:59] <rocky_> hi ghost_
[02:59] <Seveas> Sakunix, 512 mb minimum if you plan to use openoffice
[02:59] <void^> Sakunix: okay, it's probably reasonable to go for more than 2x swap in this case :]
[02:59] <gatekeeper> mwe: don't know how much it would install but you install a server version then the gnome desktop
[03:00] <Sakunix> Seveas: MythTV is my aim with this machine
[03:00] <Sakunix> going to sit in my lounge
[03:00] <Seveas> Sakunix, then start with 256-384, depending on what you're comfortable with
[03:00] <void^> hrm, i wouldn't really go above 256mb, depending on the behaviour of your applications it's probably not worthwhile to run anything that swaps more than that
[03:00] <mwe> gatekeeper: thanks
[03:00] <frogzoo> Sakunix: memory is cheap dude, 64meg is really low & gnome will be awful
[03:00] <myyr> helo again
[03:01] <myyr> ;P
[03:01] <gatekeeper> mwe: np just an idea :-)
[03:01] <MenZa> Sakunix: you need at least 256mb nowadays for your computer to function properly
[03:01] <Sakunix> frogzoo: I am attempting to run all this on a xbox console
[03:01] <orlowsks> When I leave ubuntu 6.06 running over night. When I come back the workstation is locked up. I checked video driver. Any ideas?
[03:01] <myyr> i was running glx and gnome-irc didn't like background transparency...
[03:01] <myyr> i mean gnome-xchat
[03:02] <void^> Sakunix: well, don't run gnome on it. use something slim like fluxbox, or xfce if you must.
[03:02] <mwe> gatekeeper: I already have kde and tried sudo aptitude install gnome and it was going to install loads of crap. gnome-desktop seems to install less crap :)
[03:02] <naga44> flux rules
[03:02] <Sakunix> void^: two steps ahead mate
[03:02] <Sakunix> void^: fluxbox is already on there and running
[03:02] <myyr> how do u use gnome and wifi (eg constant network reconfig)?
[03:02] <mejobloggs> can i install rpms in ubuntu? (trying to install VMWare tools)
[03:02] <gatekeeper> mwe: such is life :-)
[03:03] <myyr> sry, i mean 'how do u use flux and wifi?'
[03:03] <MrFeetio> mejobloggs: yes, get alien
[03:03] <Sakunix> myyr: you type stuff at cl i guess
[03:03] <myyr> btw - i hanve n00bish problem
[03:03] <gatekeeper> mejobloggs: you can using alien but they aren't guarenteed to work
[03:03] <gusdaro> hola gente
[03:03] <MrFeetio> mejobloggs: its in the repositories
[03:03] <myyr> k
[03:03] <mejobloggs> MrFeetio: thanks
[03:04] <gatekeeper> mejobloggs: have you had a look at the wiki and forums for info?
[03:04] <mejobloggs> gatekeeper: nope
[03:04] <mejobloggs> thats what irc is for ;)
[03:04] <gatekeeper> !vmware

[03:05] <gatekeeper> mejobloggs: ^^^
[03:05] <myyr> i have glx and i want to scroll desktops like flux does - can i bind in gconf-editor to use TWO simoultaneous mouse buttons to do something?
[03:05] <mejobloggs> gatekeeper: ooh, thanks
[03:05] <gusdaro> alguien habla castellano ?
[03:05] <MrFeetio> ok imnot a cd burining newb( i understand Cue and bin) but what are .cue .sub .img .ccd and how do i go about buring them to disc
[03:06] <gatekeeper> mejobloggs: always a good idea to do a bit of digging before jumping in, may save a lot of pain
[03:06] <myyr> gconf doesn't like Button1,Button2 or Button1+Button2 or Button1Button2... any ideas?
[03:06] <mejobloggs> gatekeeper: im installing ubuntu on vmware, not the other way arount
[03:06] <WooW> Hi  !
[03:06] <mejobloggs> gusdaro: dont think anyone here speaks castellano
[03:06] <gatekeeper> mejobloggs: ohhh
[03:07] <WooW> How can I activate ssh deamon on Ubuntu please ?
[03:07] <MrFeetio> mejobloggs: i dont think windows can open rpms
[03:07] <myyr> anyone running glx, compiz, thefuture?
[03:07] <bigfoot1> how do i convert a WAV file  to mp3 format?
[03:07] <gatekeeper> mejobloggs: from windows or another linux distro?
[03:07] <bigfoot1> maybe using terminal?
[03:07] <MrFeetio> myyr: i was
[03:08] <myyr> MrFeetio: and?
[03:08] <mejobloggs> MrFeetio: no, VMWare has an option to instal VM Tools on the guest (virtual) OS. This apparantly speeds the virutal machine quite a bit
[03:08] <MrFeetio> myyr: what do you want know
[03:08] <gregg__> bigfoot1: install and use lame
[03:08] <gatekeeper> mejobloggs: there is probable info both ways round on the ubuntu forums
[03:08] <MrFeetio> mejobloggs: doesnt it install it all for you( its in a menu)
[03:09] <myyr> MrFeetio, i want to bind TWO mouse buttons in Gnome to scroll through workspaces, like this: i press 2nd button down and then scroll with 3rd (eg scrollwheel).
[03:09] <myyr> MrFeetio, i just can't make gconf to understand me...; (
[03:10] <MrFeetio> myyr: im sorry, i set that to work but someone help me and i forgot, did you go to compiz.net?
[03:10] <myyr> k, i'll go there again...
[03:13] <ghost_> anyone use acts_as_ferret?
[03:13] <CrippsFX> Hello. I'm trying to build the sphinx3 decoder, but when I use "make" I get an error that causes the rest of the make to fail, the error is: "rpath: Command not found" ... does anybody know how to fix this?
[03:14] <jishin> I installed xgl/compiz on dapper ,and setting my keyboard to xmodmap.jp
[03:14] <bigfoot1> gregg__: ok. i've heard of lame. and i have it installed
[03:15] <bigfoot1> how do i do a lame on all files in a folder?
[03:15] <jishin> but when I restarted, gdm boot on , there was a warning about keyboard , force me to choose between gdm setting, and x server setting
[03:15] <jishin> I chose gdm, and my Japanese keyboard doesn't functional properly
[03:15] <abhinay> Hi, i have a DVD movie , i want to cut some action seens in tat movie, is there any software wich will be usefull as DVD cutter ?
[03:15] <CrippsFX> abhinay, dvdbackup
[03:16] <fyrestrtr> holy crap -- Intel reports 60% drop in profits
[03:16] !lilo:*! Hi all. Elkubuntu points Ubuntu users to http://ubuntucounter.geekosophical.net/ , the Ubuntu Counter Project.... it's like a miniature version of the Linux Counter, for Ubuntu users. Please give it a look.
[03:16] <jishin> how to switch back to the xorg  keyboard settings ,not gdm
[03:16] <gregg__> fyrestrtr: but now they've got core 2 duo...
[03:17] !lilo:*! (That nick was elkbuntu, and clearly I'm not quite awake yet. :)
[03:17] <gregg__> bigfoot1: you can use small shell script
[03:17] <gregg__> +a
[03:17] <abhinay> CrippsFX, should i use "sudo apt-get install thoggen" to install dvdbackup
[03:18] <CrippsFX> abhinay, "sudo apt-get install dvdbackup" works.
[03:19] <CrippsFX> abhinay, it will decrypt the whole DVD and leave it on your HD as the separate *.VOB files encoded in mpg
[03:20] <bigfoot1> gregg__ what shell script?
[03:20] <bsdirl> CrippsFX: what's that prog name? :)
[03:20] <CrippsFX> bsdirl, dvdbackup
[03:20] <gregg__> bigfoot1: for example, for i in *.wav; do lame --preset standard "$i"; done
[03:20] <bsdirl> so um once .VOB can you make compressed .avis of it?
[03:20] <CrippsFX> bsdirl, yeah.
[03:20] <abhinay> CrippsFX, can i use dvdbackup as DVD cutter
[03:20] <bsdirl> wewt :)
[03:20] <bigfoot1> how do i do a shell script?
[03:21] <lvraab> Cripps, how's the quality?
[03:21] <bigfoot1> I have just 10 wav files
[03:21] <bsdirl> I don't like being restricted to watching dvd's on this comp only. hehe
[03:21] <bigfoot1> maybe i don't need a shell script
[03:21] <bsdirl> ty
[03:21] <CrippsFX> abhinay, you can use it to decrypt the video so that you can use a video editor to cut scenes
[03:21] <lvraab> is it an exact copy of the DVD?
[03:21] <bsdirl> btw anyone seen that 'checkgmail' script in the dapper repos yet?
[03:21] <bigfoot1> what exactly is the command i run to convert foo.wav to foo.mp3?
[03:21] <bsdirl> it's pretty spiffy
[03:21] <avalente> hi. How can I remove the shutdown, reboot, hibernate buttons from the "Quit" menu, but still allow a user to enter "reboot" at a console?
[03:21] <bsdirl> bigfoot1: I think it's: lame foowav. foo.mp3 but dont hold me to that
[03:21] <dooglus> bigfoot1: something like:  for i  in *.wav; do lame "$i" "${i#.wav}.mp3"; done
[03:22] <bsdirl> nm listen to dooglus: that looks more correct
[03:22] <bsdirl> :)
[03:22] <gregg__> bigfoot1: lame foo.wav foo.mp3 (but you should really use a preset!)
[03:22] <CrippsFX> lvraab, no, it copies all the other dvds in your movie collection. it's really a pain in the ass, because every time I try to rip "the matrix" I somehow get "the lion king" on my harddrive ....
[03:22] <abhinay> CrippsFX, then wot is the software to cut dycripted videos ?
[03:22] <dooglus> I'll try it, just a sec.  that's off the top of myhead
[03:22] <lvraab> Cripps, lol, I see
[03:22] <CrippsFX> abhinay, check out freshmeat.org. they have a schmorgasboard of video editors.
[03:23] <dooglus> bigfoot1: like this: for i in *.wav; do lame "$i" "${i%.wav}.mp3"; done
[03:23] <mnk> hi guys,  just got a new xerox 4800 scanner. how do i install it?

[03:25] <babo> Nameeater: cool, thanks ... find was the one I was looking for ...
[03:25] <avalente> hi. How can I remove the shutdown, reboot, hibernate buttons from the "Quit" menu, but still allow a user to enter "reboot" at a console?
[03:25] <gregg__> bigfoot1: you can use it both ways. just paste it into the terminal, or put it into a text file and execute it later on

[03:30] <DarkProphet> hi all, how can I get ubuntu to use SMP ? Im on amd64-generic
[03:30] <www> #ubuntu-es
[03:31] <de_latz> hmm I still have no clue why the mod_rewrite doesn't work! it's beeing loaded by apache as I can see from the phpinfo() output but cakephp can't use it!
[03:31] <bigfoot1> gregg__: so does the command i run depend on the Wav's bitrate and other audio data?
[03:31] <de_latz> although it should be allowd
[03:31] <de_latz> ed
[03:32] <oggistest> grr
[03:32] <max_> is there anyone who know how to desactivate pc speaker sound (on a dell inspiron ^)
[03:32] <rocky_> Hi Oggis and everyone else who just joined
[03:32] <de_latz> I am using this in my lan...with dnsmasq on a box so I am accessing a url instead of ip .
[03:32] <Tomson> hello, im new to ubuntu, i need to uninstall previous version of easyubuntu, how can i do that ? thanks
[03:32] <frogzoo> phaedrus44: install & configure smartmontools, or you can run 'sudo smartctl -H /dev/hda
[03:32] <max_> no just only for terminal
[03:32] <mnk> drat the scanner is unsupported it seems
[03:32] <gregg__> bigfoot1: I don't understand you
[03:33] <WooD> void^: thanks a lot it does work very good :)
[03:33] <phaedrus44> thanks frogzoo
[03:33] <avalente> what's the name of that app that installs everything else? codecs and stuff
[03:33] <frogzoo> phaedrus44: no worries
[03:33] <bigfoot1> gregg__: let me explain. the wav files i have are 44kHz and 14H KBPS.
[03:33] <oggistest> rocky_, hi, although i didn't really join the conversation. I'm using this channel for stress testing and profiling my IRC client.
[03:34] <Colloid> what's a good, cheap, entry-level server to buy?  asus?
[03:34] <stefg> !easyubuntu
[03:34] <ubotu> easyubuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ ; for help and discussion of easyubuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[03:34] <bigfoot1> gregg__: I want to retain the quality of the audio when the wav files are converted to mp3 format
[03:34] <bigfoot1> but i don't want to get an mp3 file size bigger than necessary
[03:35] <gregg__> bigfoot1: if you don't choose very low bitrates, lame won't do any resampling etc. of course, mp3 itself is NEVER completely lossless
[03:35] <theBeno> Does anybody know if you can have duel monitors
[03:35] <theBeno> ???????????
[03:35] <bigfoot1> gregg__: ok. so what command should i run? Sorry if you've already answered.
[03:35] <bigfoot1> i'm a newbie
[03:35] <bigfoot1> please be patient
[03:35] <bigfoot1> w me
[03:35] <gregg__> bigfoot1: no problem
[03:35] <frogzoo> theBeno: of course, are you running fglrx btw?
[03:35] <max_> is there anyone who know how to desactivate pc speaker sound (on a dell inspiron ^)
[03:35] <NineTeen67Comet> theBeno: .. with plain nVidia/Ati stuff yes .. but toss xgl into it and it's a crap shoot ..
[03:35] <_jpierre> theBeno: I guess you could
[03:36] <_jpierre> theBeno: Hold on a sec let me check
[03:36] <theBeno> _jpierre, alright
[03:36] <theBeno> frogzoo, What is fglrx?
[03:36] <gregg__> bigfoot1: "--preset fast standard" is considered transparent, that means the quality is so good that the mp3 can't be distinguished from the uncompressed file
[03:36] <Dr_Willis> !ati
[03:36] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:37] <Dr_Willis> fglrx is the name of the ati drivers

[03:37] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[03:37] <gregg__> bigfoot1: so, try 'for i in *.wav; do lame --preset fast standard "$i" "${i%.wav}.mp3"; done'
[03:37] <bigfoot1> gregg__: i see, will ""--preset fast standard" not make a file size bigger than necessary? what i mean is: will that command make a 6mb file when a 5mb file (run with some other command) will sound just as fine? Are "--preset" commands going to find the best conversion rate?
[03:37] <frogzoo> theBeno: it's an ati driver, but there's a tool it supports called fireglcontrolpanel, which sets up dual monitor
[03:38] <MrFeetio> i need help getting glest to run, ivr read the howtos but i havent found one good enogh(dumb-downed for stupid ppl) to help me
[03:39] <gregg__> bigfoot1: that's complicated to explain, check http://wiki.hydrogenaudio.org/index.php?title=LAME#Recommended_Encoder_Settings
[03:39] <theBeno> frogzoo, alright, well, I currently have no tools, just a clean install of ubuntu 6.06
[03:39] <bigfoot1> gregg__: ok. i'm not a big audiophile. I'm just a tightwad with harddrive realestate (and with my 30 gig iPod)
[03:39] <bigfoot1> gregg__: i'll do you r command now. thank you very very very much!
[03:39] <myyr> MrFeetio, i went to compiz.org - didn't find anything for gnome keys but found a very cool tool - Akamaru. works like a charm
[03:40] <Pecisk> anyone has ideas how to create some directory on /var/run directory on Ubuntu boot?
[03:40] <abhinay> CrippsFX, i have tried dvdbackup tool , i did "dvdbackup -i /dev/dvd -o /home/abhinay/Movies -T 2" it is copying VOB files as it is, not decrypted to mpg, how to decrypt DVD to mpg ?
[03:40] <MrFeetio> myyr: thx that may help me
[03:40] <myyr> ?
[03:40] <myyr> hows that?
[03:40] <bigfoot1> grepper  'for i in *.wav; do lame --preset fast standard "$i" "${i%.wav}.mp3"; done'  <---Is this command going to do all files in a directory?
[03:40] <bigfoot1> gregg__: if so, i'd like to just try out one Wav file first.
[03:40] <bigfoot1> how do i do so?
[03:41] <gregg__> bigfoot1: lame --preset fast standard foo.wav foo.mp3
[03:41] <bigfoot1> sorry, not grepper* but gregg__
[03:41] <bigfoot1> thanks, gregg__ !!!
[03:41] <gregg__> yes, the other command should convert all wavs into the current directory
[03:41] <gregg__> s/into/in/
[03:42] <gregg__> bigfoot1: are you converting from audio CD?
[03:42] <bigfoot1> yikes, when I'm playing back my audio, it's playing at 2x speed. the voices sound like chipmunks!
[03:42] <bigfoot1> gregg__: nope
[03:42] <gregg__> ok
[03:42] <bigfoot1> i captured some streaming real audio into wav
[03:43] <bigfoot1> i think i should restart comp to get regular speed playback
[03:43] <gregg__> no, that's probably not the problem
[03:43] <MrFeetio> myyr: i like to toy around with things, and know the answer will help me help others
[03:43] <bigfoot1> so what is causing this high speed playback?
[03:43] <bigfoot1> wierd
[03:43] <bigfoot1> weird
[03:43] <gregg__> bigfoot1: are you sure these are real wavs? what does 'file foo.wav' report?
[03:43] <gregg__> maybe you have "raw" audio files
[03:43] <abhinay> i have tried dvdbackup tool , i did "dvdbackup -i /dev/dvd -o /home/abhinay/Movies -T 2" it is copying VOB files as it is, not decrypted to mpg, how to decrypt DVD movie to mpg ?
[03:44] <bigfoot1>  RIFF (little-endian) data, WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, mono 16000 Hz
[03:44] <www> holla
[03:44] <www> hola
[03:45] <www> un saludo para tod@s
[03:45] <bigfoot1> looks like a true wav file, doesn't it, gregg__?
[03:45] <bigfoot1> anyway, when i had this wierd playback (not converting, just regular playback ) problem, a restart helpde
[03:45] <bigfoot1> gregg__: hold on
[03:46] <bigfoot1> thanks
[03:50] <myyr> MrFeetio, r u a Bot?
[03:50] <MrFeetio> myyr: lol no
[03:50] <bigfoot1> gregg__: the restart helpd
[03:50] <bigfoot1> helped
[03:51] <MrFeetio> myyr: but i only respond when u use my name cause it make my window flash
[03:53] <bigfoot1> gregg__: i did the lame command you taught me. it went from 46mb Wav to 23 MB mp3
[03:53] <bigfoot1> it's still rather big
[03:54] <www> hols
[03:54] <Liquid-Silence> is there a app like camtasia for linux?
[03:54] <orbin> istanbul maybe
[03:55] <bigfoot1> gregg__:  sorry for bothering you
[03:55] <gregg__> bigfoot1: I thought you wanted to encode hi-quality mp3 from a cd... now this is something quite different
[03:55] <bigfoot1> yes, it's not from CDs but a capture of realaudio stream to wav
[03:55] <gregg__> bigfoot1: maybe "--preset 56" is ok for that
[03:55] <bigfoot1> ok. it's just spoken word (not music)
[03:56] <bigfoot1> i'll try 56
[03:56] <gregg__> bigfoot1: that'll yield an average bitrate of 56 kbps
[03:57] <trom> hey, need a little irc help, cant decide which irc client to use, id like to use the gnome x-chat, but i cant figure out how to permentaly display the user list, any help?
[03:57] <bigfoot1> gregg__: ok. by the way the Wavs are in Mono.
[03:57] <bigfoot1> does this make a difference as to what lame command i type in?
[03:57] <eXistenZ> how ubuntu is prounounced ? oo-bun-to or u-bun-to?
[03:57] <bigfoot1> or will lame keep stereo to stereo, and mono to mono?
[03:57] <stesch> Is it a known problem that flash movies on YouTube sometimes (very often!) has no sound? I can play videos+sound from video.google.com. But on YouTube it only works from time to time. And not always with the same video!
[03:57] <bigfoot1> eXistenZ: i pronounce it "you"
[03:58] <eXistenZ> bigfoot1, oo sounds nicer :)
[03:58] <stesch> I'm using alsa-oss for sound in Firefox+Flash
[03:58] <tritium> !pronounce
[03:58] <ubotu> Ubuntu is pronounced "oo-BOON-too"  See http://www.ubuntu.com/support/faq
[03:58] <bigfoot1> i guess it does
[03:58] <orbin> stesch: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats there's a flash+sound section
[03:59] <www> hi
[03:59] <theBeno> frogzoo, I have an onboard video, and an ati video card.
[03:59] <www> what can i do for to listen youtube
[04:00] <tritium> www: you need flashplugin-nonfree
[04:00] <www> i speake not too much englis
[04:00] <stesch> orbin: I know the page. It doesn't mention any problems with youtube. I have sound and flash. Only YouTube is getting me trouble.
[04:01] <King> Hi, It's me again. Was here couple of hours ago.. I installed bunch of udpates but Linux refused to boot to gnome, said something about error in X system. So I re-installed Ubuntu and so im still stucked in Breeze. I cant seem to get Dapper :headbanger:
[04:01] <www> i have flah
[04:01] <King> !install essentials
[04:01] <ubotu> I know nothing about install essentials - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[04:01] <gregg__> bigfoot1: it will keep stereo/mono
[04:01] <bigfoot1> thanks

[04:01] <ubotu> I know nothing about essentials - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu

[04:02] <Awesome-o2000> how do I get an SMP enabled 686 kernel?
[04:02] <King> !repositories
[04:02] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[04:02] <orbin> stesch: aoss i think
[04:02] <MrFeetio> i need i googd cd/dvd burner that can open .ccd(clone cd files)
[04:02] <www> it is easy to install?
[04:02] <stesch> THis one is without sound: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuj9BrCIyvw

[04:04] <stesch> orbin: Dou have any sound on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuj9BrCIyvw ?
[04:04] <orbin> awe6: install linux-686-smp
[04:04] <gregg__> bigfoot1: for less complex parts of the music, lame uses less bits (lower bitrate), for more complex more bits (higher bitrate). it's just a statistic
[04:04] <King> my update manager is telling im up to date. I should all the latest repostries. Why I cant get updates to Dapper in my update manager?
[04:05] <www> i go to install
[04:05] <orbin> stesch: yes
[04:05] <MrFeetio> myyr: lol
[04:05] <orbin> whoops
[04:05] <orbin> Awesome-o2000: : install linux-686-smp
[04:05] <bigfoot1> gregg__: oh, that's pretty smart of lame
[04:05] <bigfoot1> i like that.
[04:05] <tritium> Awesome-o2000: you want an SMP kernel?
[04:05] <bigfoot1> what happens when someoned doesn't use a preset?
[04:05] <orbin> King: i don't understand
[04:06] <Awesome-o2000> orbin, thank you - thats odd - im not used to that naming scheme
[04:06] <stesch> Very strange. Very, very strange. I hate these "only me" things. :-(
[04:06] <Awesome-o2000> tritium, orbin got it - thanks
[04:06] <vincenz> For some reason ubuntu did not remove ghc-6.4 when installing 6.4.1 and there's no 6.4 package anymore... how do I remove it?
[04:06] <tritium> Awesome-o2000: I saw, but I was just making sure that you _really_ want an SMP version.
[04:06] <stesch> Just checked a random video on video.google.com and everything is alright.
 how do I get an SMP enabled 686 kernel?
[04:07] <orbin> :)
[04:07] <King> Orbin: Im stuck in using Breeze. I want to update to Dapper but Gnome update manager isnt showing any updates to download. It says im up to date which im not
[04:07] <tritium> orbin: didn't see that part.  Sorry.  P.S., don't forget about !enter please

[04:08] <nosotros> i need help!!, i was watching a video and my audio stopped, now all i hear is something like static
[04:08] <vincenz> stefg: that in response to me?
[04:08] <vincenz> stefg: won't work
[04:08] <gregg__> bigfoot1: well... then the results (quality) might be suboptimal for a given bitrate
[04:09] <bigfoot1> i see
[04:09] <bigfoot1> thank you.
[04:09] <nosotros> i need help!!, i was watching a video and my audio stopped, now all i hear is something like static
[04:09] <Lynoure> nosotros: Is the vide known to have fully working audio? Do other files play sound still?
[04:09] <mrDaniel> i am trying to view this site (it's about the sony-ebook-reader) http://www.learningcenter.sony.us/assets/pa/prs/index.html?detectflash=false
[04:09] <stefg> vincenz: maybe get a dapper sources.list from easysource, sudo apt-get update and try again
[04:09] <mrDaniel> but for this i need flash8
[04:09] <Lynoure> nosotros: If you are using speakers, do you still get sound through headphones?
[04:09] <nosotros> that's the problem, nothing sounds... only static
[04:10] <mrDaniel> in the ubuntu-repository is only flash version 7
[04:10] <vincenz> stefg: I have dapper, I need to remove an old breezy package (ghc-6.4) cause dapper has 6.4.1
[04:10] <nosotros> i'm using headphones
[04:10] <nosotros> should i try with the speakers?
[04:10] <mrDaniel> how  i can update my flash from version 7 to version 8 =
[04:10] <mrDaniel> ?
[04:10] <mrDaniel> is there a HOWTO or something elde?
[04:10] <abhinay> plz, can anyone tell me where can i find the clean installation process of ubuntu dapper drake (from livecd) with screenshots ?
[04:10] <stesch> mrDaniel: There's no Flash 8 (or 9) for Linux.
[04:11] <nosotros> no, you can't install flash 8
[04:11] <tritium> mrDaniel: write a letter to Macromedia, and ask really nicely?
[04:11] <stesch> mrDaniel: There are some weird solutions to install Windows Firefox for wine and the latest Flash plugin. :-}
[04:11] <Lynoure> nosotros: yes, I'd recommend trying. At worst you'll get static through your speakers, at best you find out that it was just a mouse biting your headphone cord :)
[04:12] <mrDaniel> no flash version 8? i hate this
[04:12] <nosotros> Lynoure: only static, both headphones and speakers
[04:12] <www> i was instal flashplugin-nonfree , but i can't listeng the video of youtube
[04:12] <tritium> mrDaniel: nobody's fault but Macromedia
[04:12] <mrDaniel> but the solution with linux <--- wine <--- firefox-win <--- flash8 sounds interesting
[04:12] <Ng> mrDaniel: it sounds painful at best ;)
[04:12] <stesch> www: Can you listen to video.google.com?
[04:12] <orbin> www: did you follow the steps?
[04:13] <mrDaniel> but i think this is too complicated, only to watch one presentation on http://www.learningcenter.sony.us/assets/pa/prs/index.html?detectflash=false
[04:13] <nosotros> anybody any idea?
[04:13] <mrDaniel> @www i got the same problem
[04:13] <vincenz> How do I remove a breezy package????
[04:13] <stesch> There's more than just "steps". I can't listen to YouTube, too. But I can hear Flash games, video.google.com, etc.
[04:13] <orbin> nosotros: not sure if this is the best thing to do, but have you tried doing a 'killall esd' ?
[04:13] <nosotros> please, help me
[04:14] <Lynoure> nosotros: Next thing to try could be restarting X, after that maybe to see with a live cd if you can get sound... if not, then it might be hw, too.
[04:14] <tritium> vincenz: any package can be removed with "sudo apt-get remove <packagename>"
[04:14] <vincenz> tritium: not if it's shadowed by a dapper package!
[04:14] <vincenz> tritium: ghc6 now refers to version 6.4.1.... I can not remove 6.4!
[04:14] <stesch> www: Can you listen to video.google.com?
[04:15] <tritium> vincenz: let me look into it
[04:15] <King> I did the workaround in ubuntu wiki page but update manager still is not giving me dapper updato to download. Is it safe to alter /etc/apt/sources.list file to easy up getting the dapper update?
[04:15] <www> i cant listen any video of internet
[04:15] <nosotros> these is not the first time it happens, audio goes well with live cd, the only solution that i have found is reinstalling, but i want a real solution

[04:20] <rambo3> -s
[04:20] <babo> frogzoo: now it says ... Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
[04:20] <babo> Xlib: No protocol specified
[04:20] <tritium> King: sudo apt-get install build-essential (no "s")
[04:20] <frogzoo> King: it's a package - install with sudo apt-get install
[04:20] <wuzzy> hi all! what is the prefered way of encrypting a whole disk?
[04:21] <babo> How do I specify a protocol for Xlib ?
[04:21] <abhinay> how can i update my dapper to edgy ?
[04:21] <www> all the people her are from america?
[04:21] <stesch> OK, wine-time. I try windows firefox and flash, only for YouTube ... :-(
[04:22] <rambo3> they should inlcude linux-source and gcc3.4 into b.e
[04:22] <orbin> www: nope.
[04:22] <void^> linux-source is a big package, gcc3.4 is rarely necessary these days..
[04:23] <www> were are your from orbin?
[04:23] <rambo3> void^ well it fits for me.
[04:24] <orbin> www: australia.  but if you just want to chat to people, plese got to #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:24] <tritium> vincenz: sorry, got disconnected.  What did I miss?
[04:25] <frogzoo> wuzzy: an encrypted loopback - man mount
[04:25] <King> Thanks Tritium! It worked
[04:25] <www> i'm her from learn how i can listen youtube orbin
[04:25] <wuzzy> frogzoo: ok, thanks!
[04:25] <www> but not is easy
[04:25] <www> jej
[04:26] <tritium> King: no problem
[04:26] <vincenz> tritium: not much
[04:26] <rambo3> well i know how but its not recomended, or you can run firefox with sudo
[04:26] <vincenz> tritium: just can't remove the ghc-6.4 versin of ghc6 packag as it's unlisted
[04:26] <tritium> vincenz: dpkg -l | grep ghc, please
[04:26] <vincenz> nil
[04:27] <orbin> www: dunno what else to tell you.  the fix on that wiki page worked for me.  maybe try searching ubuntuforums.org
[04:27] <vincenz> tritium: tho I do have ghc6.4 fully installed
[04:27] <vincenz> tritium: 6.4.1 must have flushed the package without removing the old one
[04:27] <rambo3> www do you get sound when running sudo firefox
[04:27] <tritium> vincenz: what does dpkg list?
[04:27] <vincenz> tritium: nothing
[04:27] <tritium> dpkg -l | grep ghc returns nothing?
[04:27] <narfmaster> vincenz, apt-cache policy ghc6
[04:28] <vincenz> ghc6:

[04:28] <neopsyche> hi
[04:28] <vincenz> the 6.4
[04:28] <vincenz> not the 6.4.1
[04:29] <vincenz> I removed it
[04:29] <vincenz> in the hope of removing 6.4 as well
[04:29] <tritium> !enter
[04:29] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[04:29] <vincenz> sorry
[04:29] <tritium> vincenz: if you had it installed, dpkg would list it
[04:29] <M4A19> how do i change my fstab to mount my fat32 so anyone can read/write to it?

[04:29] <tylerjroach_> I am running dapper on a hp dv4040us laptop and I need power saving modes to work. When I press suspend it will work fine until it starts back up. My resolution on my computer is always set up on 1280x800. When I get out of suspend my resolution way messed up. I can see only a small box on the whole screen and all of the edges are black. I can't see my start panel or anything because all I have is a box in the middle of the screen. Any help would be
[04:29] <tylerjroach_> greatly appreciated.
[04:29] <vincenz> tritium: what I think happened is that ghc-6.4.1 reused the same package name but did not actually remove 6.4
[04:29] <tritium> vincenz: that's not possible
[04:30] <vincenz> both packages are actually called ghc6
[04:30] <abhinay> !edgy
[04:30] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[04:30] <trom> ubuntu autodetects and automounts my creative muvo n200, but amorok doesnt see it as a connected device, any ideas?
[04:30] <tritium> vincenz: as you saw from above, you have _no_ package named ghc6 installed
[04:31] <babo> my root prompt can't connect to my X server ... Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
[04:31] <babo> Xlib: No protocol specified
[04:31] <tritium> (old or new)
[04:31] <babo> Anyone have any ideas ?
[04:31] <vincenz> tritium: yes...   You were asking about removing the old one, but you have nothing installed that we can remove.
[04:32] <rambo3> babo what are you typing to startx
[04:32] <vincenz> tritium: in breezy... 6.4 was named "ghc6".... in dapper 6.4.1  was named "ghc6" ... 6.4 was never actually removed (the files)... so I'm stuck with an installation I can not remove, even after rmeoving the 6.4.1 one
[04:32] <babo> startx ... I guess ... I think it just started on it's own, I'm not sure though ...
[04:33] <tritium> vincenz: no, you're not
[04:33] <babo> this computer hasn't been shutdown in a long while ...
[04:33] <tylerjroach_> it says i810 I have an intel integrated media accelerator card that came on my laptop
[04:33] <rambo3> babo try /etc/init.d/gdm start
[04:33] <vincenz> tritium: usr/lib/ghc-6.4
[04:33] <tritium> babo: you'll need to use sudo with that
[04:34] <babo> no difference I'm afraid, same problem
[04:34] <rambo3> tritium he sad as root , so i guess he is in safe mode
[04:34] <tritium> rambo3: ah
[04:34] <babo> it starts the display manager but still can't connect ...
[04:34] <babo> :-(
[04:35] <tritium> vincenz: and what's in the dir?
[04:35] <vincenz> tritium: a full installation of ghc6.4
[04:35] <rambo3> babo whats the error , did you dpkg-reconfgure xorg-server
[04:35] <abhinay> wot is the meaning of "Edgy Eft" ???
[04:35] <tylerjroach_> to be more specific it is an intel GMA 900 Integrated Graphics with 128MB Shared Memory and my driver said i810
[04:36] <babo> Xlib: No protocol specified ...

[04:48] <phoez> Is there any filesystem more "resistant" to errors? I'm using reiserfs and have been having a lot of lockups lately due to overheating GFX card (nothing I can do till I get paid cept keep a big fan on the side of case) and it's killing my filesystem nearly every time.
[04:48] <bart3k> bahadirt: 110 port -> pop3 not smtp
[04:48] <tritium> phoez: ext3
[04:48] <phoez> thanks
[04:48] <bart3k> bahadirt: you need pop3 server
[04:48] <fyrestrtr> phoez: fix your overheating problems. a filesystem is not a cure for a overheating system.
[04:48] <phoez> I know
[04:48] <phoez> I'm going to fix them
[04:49] <bahadirt> bart : apart from postfix ?
[04:49] <phoez> but in the meantime, I'd like to avoid having to format as much as possible
[04:49] <fyrestrtr> phoez: and fix the powersupply
[04:49] <orbin> bpmw: maybe you got a bad burn.  have you tried the disc on another computer?
[04:49] <loko555> hello i get "sudo: /etc/sudoers is mode 0640, should be 0440" but how can i change it back?
[04:49] <McNutella> when ubuntu is asking for my password, is there anyway to stop it fading the screen, which I find really annoying and time consuming.
[04:49] <loko555> i cannot use sudo anymore
[04:49] <bart3k> bahadirt: yes
[04:49] <loko555> so what to do?
[04:49] <mnp> tritium: sorry i lost my connection. did you have any advice about my ICH4
[04:50] <bpmw> Orbin, it comes up on my XP workstation no problem
[04:50] <tritium> loko555: why did you change it?
[04:50] <RedGhost> @ narfmaster, anjuta was exactly what i was looking for, thanks again
[04:50] <tritium> mnp: I asked why you were disabling acpi
[04:50] <narfmaster> RedGhost, you're welcome
[04:50] <loko555> because i didn't know that i have to use visudo to change something in it
[04:50] <bahadirt> bart : can you pls tell me where to find it and install ? does it come with alternate cd ?
[04:50] <bahadirt> or should I download that seperately
[04:50] <bahadirt> ?
[04:51] <bart3k> bahadirt: pt-get install popa3d
[04:51] <Daiferas> hi, I'm having a bit of trouble installing Ubuntu. the install hangs/freezes when I attempt to manually partition my hd, as I've partitioned it ahead of time with windows and would just like to use this setup. I've checked the md5sum and verified the data on the CD using Nero, and, just to be safe, have done this with another copy as well. I partitioned a 512mb swap so the live cd went faster, but it still hangs when it
[04:51] <loko555> tritium: any idea?
[04:51] <tritium> loko555: and why were you running visudo?  To give users sudo priveleges, add them to the admin group.  Don't use visudo
[04:51] <bart3k> bahadirt: apt-get install popa3d
[04:51] <loko555> ok, but how to change it back?
[04:51] <tritium> loko555: your best bet now is to reboot into single-user mode
[04:51] <gregg__> loko555: uh-oh... you can reboot and pass the option init=/bin/sh to the kernel. this will give you root access again.
[04:51] <loko555> ok, thanks a lot
[04:52] <bahadirt> couldnt fidn the package
[04:52] <hareem>  hi can some one please tell me how can i setup a linux network. Its for a net cafe
[04:52] <bahadirt> bart :
[04:52] <fyrestrtr> hareem: set one machine as the gateway+proxy+dns+firewall machine (all of these functions are available in linux). Then just add a switch and plug all the other machines in there.
[04:52] <bahadirt> I tried but it coulnt find the package
[04:53] <Awesome-o2000> is there a precompiled nvidia driver package for ubuntu? the one in linux-restricted-modules doesnt appear to work...
[04:53] <bart3k> bahadirt: popa3d is in universe repository
[04:53] <helfrez> wow impressive...Gizmo makes all outgoing calls free forever...thats gonna surely piss off the Skype folks lol
[04:53] <gregg__> Daiferas: how did you create the partitions for linux?
[04:53] <fyrestrtr> Awesome-o2000: what do you mean it doesn't work?
[04:53] <Daiferas> gregg: let me double check to be exact.
[04:53] <hareem> ok. But how can i setup file sharing
[04:53] <gregg__> Daiferas: I'd never trust partitionmagic ;)
[04:54] <narfmaster> Awesome-o2000, nvidia-glx or nvidia-glx-legacy
[04:54] <Daiferas> gregg: oh, you mean with what? I used Acronis disc director in windows
[04:54] <Awesome-o2000> fyrestrtr I can modprobe nvidia but when I try to start X it says nvidia not found
[04:54] <Awesome-o2000> thank you
[04:54] <fyrestrtr> hareem: if all your clients are linux, use nfs.
[04:54] <tritium> Awesome-o2000: they work.  What happened?
[04:54] <gregg__> Daiferas: that's what I mean, yes
[04:54] <tritium> Awesome-o2000: do you have linux-restricted-modules installed (one that matches your kenrel version)
[04:54] <Awesome-o2000> yes
[04:54] <francolq_> hello. sodipodi only says "Segmentation Fault" in my AMD64 Kubuntu Breezy. Anyone could make sodipodi work?
[04:54] <King> Hi Im back
[04:54] <MrFeetio> i need a program to make dvd menues, can anyone help me?
[04:54] <mnp> tritium: if i dont disable the ACPI then ubuntu won't load. it freezes at "unpacking linux, okay. booting the kernel"
[04:54] <Daiferas> gregg: yes, then, I used Acronis. it's always seemed to work excellent before.

[04:55] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections.  IMAP, POP3?
[04:55] <McNutella> is there anything I can change to stop it fading the screen when ubuntu asks for a password, its annoying me.
[04:55] <Awesome-o2000> tritium I did now :) I didnt have access to gui to read howto - thanks for the help, see you in xchat
[04:55] <tritium> King: watch that language!
[04:55] <Rikkimaru> fyrestrtr: I don't know :(
[04:55] <hareem> ok so i install NFS and then what. I share a folder or something
[04:55] <andycap_> how do I connect to a windows network on ubuntu?
[04:55] <gregg__> Daiferas: the best guess is to have some free, unallocated space on the disk. this shouldn't cause any problems while installing.
[04:55] <King> SORRY
[04:55] <hareem> like is there any command for sharing
[04:55] <daveb> Hmmm. should .bash_profile run when I log into X ?
[04:55] <fyrestrtr> Rikkimaru: try pop3, most allow pop3 access.
[04:56] <mjr> daveb, nope
[04:56] <tritium> andycap_: Places -> Network Servers
[04:56] <frogzoo> daveb: nope - try .gnomerc
[04:56] <andycap_> I tried that, but when I click on Windows Servers it comes up blank.
[04:56] <daveb> frogzoo: ok thanks.
[04:56] <Daiferas> gregg: just leave it unallocated and have the install resize, or...?
[04:57] <andycap_> do both computers have to be connected to the internet?
[04:57] <Rikkimaru> fyrestrtr: any idea what server type I would use for sending e-mail?
[04:57] <King> Im having lotsa trouble getting Dapper update

[04:57] <rhsanborn> I just installed ubuntu, and was hoping someone could help me with apt-get. I understand the apt-get install <package> syntax, but I don't know how to search for packages
[04:57] <gregg__> Daiferas: if there's unallocated space (free, unpartitioned space), there is no need to resize
[04:57] <tritium> King: those are both only for a cdrom
[04:57] <mjr> rhsanborn, apt-cache search
[04:57] <andycap_> can I plug them into each other with a usb plug?
[04:58] <tritium> !easysource > King
[04:58] <mnp> tritium: i've tried other acpi options but they dont work
[04:58] <Daiferas> gregg: which means I should use the manual partition, correct? I'd try this, but it hangs/freezes
[04:58] <King> Tritium: How to get my repostries right so I can get Dapper
[04:58] <King> Thanks tritium will look that
[04:58] <tritium> mnp: hmm...
[04:59] <gregg__> Daiferas: you can leave the partitioning to the installer in this case, ubuntu should pick reasonable defaults
[04:59] <andycap_> hmm
[04:59] <Daiferas> gregg: sorry? which option is that?
[04:59] <Rikkimaru> fyrestrtr: hmm, it says "Could not connect to POP server https"
[04:59] <mnp> tritium: i found a website that suggests i need to get more current acpi files for my asus notebook to get ACPI to work properly, but that requires recompiling the kernel
[04:59] <Daiferas> gregg: I'm a linux newb :)
[04:59] <mnp> and im not that advanced
[04:59] <andycap_> same here
[04:59] <fyrestrtr> Rikkimaru: leave out the https.
[04:59] <siennalizard> King: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=185758
[04:59] <tritium> mnp: that's likely the case
[05:00] <gregg__> Daiferas: sorry, I don't know the exact name. :) but it's something as simple as "use free space on harddisk"
[05:00] <mnp> okay ... ill have to wait for sound and video then until i get more advanced.
[05:00] <andycap_> I just want to get some files off my other computer and the windows network isn't coming up
[05:00] <mnp> tritium: i am also trying to get Lyx installed on my system. any idea how to help me out with that?
[05:00] <tritium> mnp: you have no video either?  are you just using console?
[05:00] <Daiferas> gregg: the options are resizing, completely erasing, and manually editing - unless one isn't showing up because I don't have unallocated space
[05:01] <rhsanborn> Alright, it appears the package I want isn't part of the servers I have. Any idea where I can find new package sources?
[05:01] <fyrestrtr> mnp: sudo apt-get install lync
[05:01] <fyrestrtr> mnp: sudo apt-get install lynx
[05:01] <gregg__> Daiferas: that's it of course :-)
[05:01] <siennalizard> tritium: you'll need universe repos.
[05:01] <tritium> mnp: lyx, or lynx?
[05:01] <mnp> tritium: i mean, i cant play videos in totem because my sound card isn't recognized
[05:01] <mnp> tritium: lyx, the LaTex editor
[05:01] <Daiferas> gregg: thank you so much! I'll try this after I eat some breakfast. =) thanks again!
[05:01] <tritium> mnp: sudo apt-get install lyx
[05:01] <mnp> that will do it?
[05:01] <gregg__> Daiferas: if it STILL won't work you can try to use a non-graphical installer
[05:02] <RedGhost> does ubuntu have a glib package in the repository, if so what name?
[05:02] <tritium> mnp: it's not really a LaTeX editor, though.  It hides the actual LaTeX from you.  I hate it, personall
[05:02] <mnp> i'd like to get it a shot.
[05:02] <Daiferas> gregg: I'd looked on the forums for similar problems and arrived at that conclusion too, but figured I'd see if there might be another way first. I'm glad I did
[05:02] <narfmaster> RedGhost, glib? do you need glade?
[05:02] <mnp> tritiumL i know from the Lyx site that i need like four other programs to get it going, imagemagic, etc... will the apt-get take care of all that for me?
[05:02] <fyrestrtr> RedGhost: yes, its called libc
[05:02] <siennalizard> mnp: I'm in favour of Lyx, too. Worth a try for long docs.
[05:03] <siennalizard> tritium: should do.
[05:03] <MrFeetio> is there anyway i can make .avi files smaller, they still need to be readible by a dvd player
[05:03] <m_0_r_0_n>
[05:03] <siennalizard> tritium: I installed it recently without problems
[05:03] <RedGhost> narfmaster, anjuta gave me a bunch of dependency errors on compilation, i found and installed all but 'glib'
[05:03] <wolfeySI> hello guys, is it possible to add an non-utf8 locale?
[05:03] <mnp> siennalizard: will the apt-get install lyx take care of everything? that is, i do it and say Y, and then it will be ready to go?
[05:04] <m_0_r_0_n> What kind of special charactor do you read? ->
[05:04] <fyrestrtr> mnp: yes
[05:04] <siennalizard> mnp: THat's what I did.
[05:04] <tritium> siennalizard: hmm?
[05:04] <andycap_> tritium my windows internet was running off my ethernet cord, and I took it out to get internet access on this computer,  now this computer is the only one with internet.
[05:04] <mnp> fyrestrtr: nice. thanks. also, where can i find a list of software to use apt-get for?
[05:04] <tritium> mnp: apt-get takes care of dependencies for you
[05:04] <fyrestrtr> !software
[05:04] <ubotu> You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, apt-cache, the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com  -  Ubuntu has about 18000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!
[05:04] <mnp> thanks guys. nice nice nice.
[05:04] <andycap_> the computers are side by side now
[05:04] <wolfeySI> whole damn page is cp1250, but i want my language date in php. i have only sl_SI.utf8 installed?
[05:05] <ubuntu> how to install ettercap?
[05:05] <narfmaster> RedGhost, you probably need libglib2.0-dev
[05:05] <tritium> siennalizard: what are you trying to tell me?
[05:05] <King> THANKS siennalizard and Tritium
[05:05] <Coffeegrindah> has anyone in here burned a vcd?
[05:05] <ubuntu> some1 please help to run ettercap on ubuntu
[05:05] <tritium> mnp: LyX is okay, but you're better off learning proper LaTeX syntax, and using something like winefish or texmaker
[05:06] <fyrestrtr> ubuntu: sudo apt-get install ettercap
[05:06] <siennalizard> tritium: sorry. meant to direct that to mnp
[05:06] <King> Im regenerating sources.list, but do I really need to use country code??
[05:06] <tritium> King: for what?  :)
[05:06] <andycap_> linux is too complicated
[05:06] <King> Tritium: for helping earlier
[05:06] <tritium> King: country codes help pick closer servers, for one thing
[05:06] <RedGhost> narfmaster, that was it thanks
[05:06] <frogzoo> andycap_: matter of opinion ;)
[05:06] <bahadirt> popa3d package cannot be found in ubuntu alternate cd

[05:07] <bahadirt> how can I access there
[05:07] <tritium> King: they're the latest.  Sometimes a few hours of delay as packages propagate the various servers, but they're not localized in any way.;

[05:11] <fyrestrtr> narfmaster: there is no 'lamp' mode.

[05:18] <King> kill lilo lol
[05:18] <ic56> siennalizard and fyrestrtr: do these packages enable data entry in the corresponding language or just display of error messages in that language?
[05:18] <wolfeySI> assssss: well with torrent you need to choose one with lots of seeders and working tracker
[05:18] <wolfeySI> :)
[05:18] <assssss> then it comes timeout
[05:18] <fyrestrtr> ic56: data entry is a matter of choosing the right keyboard layout.
