[02:11] <problems> lamp420: fixing as in I used a cd that came with my hard drive to partition the free space and it did that, but it made the entire drive unusable, corrupted the drive tables or something
[02:11] <Fujitsu> [CC] Impsy, hopefully. If it doesn't work, there's another way
[02:11] <sally_> amphi, ok I will try those
[02:11] <mark_> can somebody tell me how i can get my gnome system tray back?
[02:11] <[CC] Impsy> Fujitsu, ok ill try that, ill transfer it with my ipod
[02:12] <amphi> sally_: -vo xv is worth using anyway
[02:12] <Jowi> ubotu: tell ProN00b about w32codecs
[02:12] <Fujitsu> ZenithsGlint, right-click on the channel name in the list, and there's an option.
[02:12] <RandolphCarter> sally_: make sure frame-dropping's on too
[02:12] <ZenithsGlint> Fujitsu sweet thanks.
[02:12] <sally_> RandolphCarter, how do I do that
[02:12] <mark_> can somebody tell me how i can get my gnome system tray back? i can't fork programs in the background anymore
[02:12] <[CC] Impsy> Fujitsu, how can i get my audio to work?
[02:12] <amphi> sally_: you can also do 'echo vo=xv >> ~/.mplayer/config to make it permanent, to save typing -vo xv every time
[02:12] <lamp420> problems: so your partition table is screwed up?  if you can remember exactly what it was like you can recreate it w/ fdisk and then if the partitions are still there they will be readable
[02:12] <Dersursine> I'm back :( Does build-essentials exist for the dapper yet?
[02:13] <RandolphCarter> sally_: you can hit 'j' to turn it on by hand, I'm just trying to find a good .mplayer/config file on the net
[02:13] <joch> is it possible to hide the partition icons on the desktop?
[02:13] <amphi> sally_: ditto, 'echo autosync=30 >> ~/.mplayer/config' if you want that permanent
[02:13] <simonpca> plop
[02:13] <Fujitsu> [CC] Impsy, what sound card?
[02:13] <[CC] Impsy> and can someone list a good player that can play mp3's and has ipod support?
[02:13] <[CC] Impsy> Fujitsu, im sure its soundblaster
[02:13] <Fujitsu> [CC] Impsy, Rhythmbox
[02:13] <Jowi> ProN00b: usually in "/usr/lib/win32" but follow the link ubotu gave you, it's easier probably
[02:14] <abo> [CC] Impsy, totem can play mp3, xmms too
[02:14] <[CC] Impsy> Fujitsu, can xubuntu run that?
[02:14] <lamp420> problems:  I screwed up my partition table once and wrote a script that kept trying different possible start and end positions for a partition and then trying to mount it... eventually I hit on the right numbers... something like that might be in order, I dunno...
[02:14] <RandolphCarter> sally_: http://randolphcarter.myby.co.uk/config
[02:14] <[CC] Impsy> its minimum requirements GNOME?
[02:14] <Dersursine> What repository is build-essentials in for dapper?
[02:14] <Fujitsu> [CC] Impsy, oh.
[02:14] <problems> lamp420: if you still have it somewhere it'd be helpful :)
[02:14] <Fujitsu> [CC] Impsy, not by default, I don't think...
[02:14] <RandolphCarter> sally_: that sets a half-decent subtitle font too (I watch a lot of anime :/)
[02:14] <problems> be back soon, if you have it lamp, send it to me please
[02:15] <Fujitsu> main, Dersursine.
[02:15] <sally_> RandolphCarter, ok I am checking it out
[02:15] <[CC] Impsy> Fujitsu, so it will work?
[02:15] <lamp420> problems: how many partitions did you have
[02:15] <Astray> I've followed that guide and it still fails to load the nvidia driver
[02:15] <Dersursine> Fujitsu: weird, it wont find it ;;
[02:15] <lamp420> ?
[02:15] <Dersursine> Fujitsu: apt-get install build-essentials
[02:15] <chapium> wow, i found a bug.  pressing "o" while you have the icon selector open will close it
[02:15] <Dersursine> correct?
[02:15] <lamp420> problems: send me an email<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[02:15] <dylan_> What is the fastest Linux distro out there?
[02:15] <Fujitsu> Dersursine, yep.
[02:15] <[CC] Impsy> is there a way to see what sound card i have?
[02:15] <Fujitsu> Dersursine, but with a sudo in front.
[02:15] <amphi> RandolphCarter: nice config
[02:15] <lamp420> dylan_: slackware
[02:16] <Flannel> dylan_: distro's aren't by nature faster than each other.  It depends on what's in them.
[02:16] <Dersursine> Fujitsu: of course.
[02:16] <dylan_> oh ok
[02:16] <Fujitsu> dylan_, Gentoo, but there isn't much difference. It's negligible.
[02:16] <[CC] Impsy> is there a way to see what sound card i have?
[02:16] <Dersursine> Fujitsu: Nuts, it still cant find the package.
[02:16] <SurfnKid> RandolphCarter: ok havent done anything yet, glad you told me that
[02:16] <kameron> how do i get a sata drive detected and working?
[02:16] <Fujitsu> Dersursine, build-essential.
[02:16] <dylan_> ok
[02:16] <dylan_> thanks
[02:16] <RandolphCarter> amphi: cheers, it's mostly one I found on the net and changed though
[02:16] <Fujitsu> No `s' :)
[02:16] <LeoStewart> Has anyone else been experiencing problems with Beep Media Player on Dapper Drake?
[02:16] <Dersursine> Fujitsu: doh
[02:16] <Dersursine> much better
[02:16] <neoTheCat> the weird thing is i updated breezy to dapper, and mkdir and df would seg fault.  so i did a fresh install, and now mkdir works, but df doesn't
[02:16] <Fujitsu> It got me at first too.
[02:16] <animepunkw> How do i configure hardware acceleration in ubuntu so 3ddesktop will work ?
[02:16] <[CC] Impsy> on Xubuntu is there a way to see which sound card i have?
[02:16] <MaKkY> HOW DO I INSTALL .TAR.GZ FILES?
[02:16] <Fujitsu> neoTheCat, that's very very odd.
[02:16] <lamp420> dylan_: the less crap that you run in the background the faster it will be... so ubuntu is definitely not what you want for speed.
[02:16] <[CC] Impsy> on Xubuntu is there a way to see which sound card i have?
[02:16] <Fujitsu> !shout
[02:16] <akant> lspci
[02:16] <MaKkY> sorry CAPS was on
[02:16] <locomorto> animepunkw, what video card do you have?
[02:16] <ubotu> WE CAN READ LOWER CASE!
[02:17] <amphi> [CC] Impsy: lspci (assuming it's pci)
[02:17] <[CC] Impsy> ill go check
[02:17] <Dersursine> MaKkY: rm -Rf <name of .tar.gx>
[02:17] <amphi> MaKkY: disable it ;)
[02:17] <lamp420> dylan: also, older kernels will be smaller and faster.. try using an older distro
[02:17] <gilianima> how to have more settings in totem ?
[02:17] <Dersursine> MaKkY: or rm -Rf /
[02:17] <animepunkw> gforce fx 5200
[02:17] <Fujitsu> Dersursine, NO.
[02:17] <LeoStewart> Does anyone else use BMP?
[02:17] <Fujitsu> Dersursine, don't.
[02:17] <Jowi> MaKkY: first you need to unpack it like this "tar -zxvf name.tar.gz" then cd into that directory and read the README file
[02:18] <gilianima> the image of my rmvb video has too few colors, i need to choose something like x11 or opengl in totem, how to be able to do that ?
[02:18] <LeoStewart> Dersursine: wtf is your problem?
[02:18] <DarkJesus> I can't get sound to work!
[02:18] <amphi> MaKkY: xmodmap -e "remove Lock = Caps_Lock" should do it
[02:18] <[CC] Impsy> amphi: doesnt say anything about a video card
[02:18] <neoTheCat> Fujitsu:  yeah, i know.  i won't to install ubuntu at work (instead of fedora), but if i can't figure this out, i'm stuck with core 5
[02:18] <[CC] Impsy> amphi: woops i mean sound card
[02:18] <luis_> how can I find the address of a bluetooth device? how can I find the address of a bluetooth device?
[02:18] <Phuzion> Alright, I'm having some problems with apt-get
[02:18] <Fujitsu> luis_, once is enough.
[02:19] <amphi> [CC] Impsy: so it's isa I guess
[02:19] <Fujitsu> !justask
[02:19] <Phuzion> Apparently my sources.list file is bad
[02:19] <[CC] Impsy> amphi: do i type that in?
[02:19] <ubotu> - Ask your question and we'll try to answer it.
[02:19] <Phuzion> How do I upgrade to Dapper?
[02:19] <akant> Well maybe not, sound cards wont always list as "hey im a sound card" what are the chipsets?
[02:19] <locomorto> !tell animepunkw about nvidia
[02:19] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell Phuzion -about upgrade
[02:19] <sally_> amphi, RandolphCarter: it's still off, does mplayer on dapper work for you guys?
[02:19] <luis_> Fujitsu, haa when some rule is broken.. you answer right away! but when you're asking for a loong time, nobody answers
[02:19] <amphi> [CC] Impsy: I've forgotten what little I knew of isa - there's isapnptools, dunno if that'll be any good to you
[02:19] <DarkJesus> dpkg
[02:19] <abo> !tell Phuzion about upgrade
[02:20] <sfar> Hello.. I have a problem with GRUB after encrypting one of my partitions with TrueCrypt.. Here's the deal: On my primary harddrive i have hd0,0 wich has windows XP on it, and hd0,1 wich is a NTFS-drive that is now encrypted.. and hd0,2-3 with ubuntu on it.. Everything has worked just fine until i encrypted hd0,1.. I know this is really not ubuntu-related but i hope someone can help
[02:20] <amphi> sally_: even with -vo xv -autosync 30 ?
[02:20] <Fujitsu> luis_, I hadn't seen your question earlier.
[02:20] <Fujitsu> DarkJesus, what about dpkg?
[02:20] <sfar> I get these errors: Filesystem type unknown, partition type 0x7 .... Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format
[02:20] <SurfnKid> RandolphCarter: if I run the sudo ln even tho there's no splash.xpm.gz file in /boot/grub  it dont matter?
[02:20] <sally_> amphi, yeah
[02:20] <animepunkw> thanks ! I wasnt sure if I needed to install differnt drivers or if it was included with dapper
[02:20] <amphi> sally_: what is it? avi is just a container; what does 'file whatever.avi' say?
[02:21] <sally_> amphi, RIFF (little-endian) data, AVI, 608 x 336, 23.98 fps, video: XviD, audio: MPEG-1 Layer 3 (stereo, 48000 Hz)
[02:21] <akant> hey I just got Breezy CD's I cant wait to install this slick new OS!
[02:21] <akant> ;)
[02:21] <RandolphCarter> SurfnKid: yup, it'll create it :)
[02:21] <Phuzion> I've modified my sources.list file, and done apt-get update
[02:21] <Phuzion> Then I did apt-get dist-upgrade, and things still aren't working
[02:22] <Fujitsu> akant, Ubuntu 6.06 was released 3 days ago, and is much better.
[02:22] <rdz> akant, why don't you install dapper?
[02:22] <amphi> sally_: how off is it? 3 pass encoding had some bug that screwed the sync IIRC, I've seen ~200ms off sync quite often
[02:22] <abo> is it true that compiling the kernel is the only operation that requires a reboot in linux?
[02:22] <sally_> probably something like quarter of a second
[02:22] <Phuzion> abo:  pretty much, yeah
[02:22] <akant> I dont have CD's for it
[02:22] <SurfnKid> RandolphCarter: Thats what I wanted to know. :) sorry doin 5 things at once
[02:22] <SurfnKid> brb
[02:22] <akant> and Im just kidding ;)
[02:22] <axisys> how do i make xgl work with i810?
[02:22] <sally_> amphi, sorry the last msg was for you forgot to lead with the name
[02:22] <akant> :D
[02:23] <amphi> abo: pretty much - muck about clumsily with svgalib and you can have little other choice because the display is irretrievably messed up ;)
[02:23] <roostishaw> how do I add to a variable in bash?
[02:23] <axisys> i see there are steps for ati and nvidia.. but i have intel video i810
[02:23] <RandolphCarter> sally_: are you playing h264 encoded files?
[02:23] <amphi> sally_: sounds like the 3-pass thing - hit - a couple of times and it should be ok
[02:23] <sally_> RandolphCarter, how would I know
[02:23] <MaKkY> RandolphCarter: Can you help me?
[02:23] <locomorto> axisys, I was under the vague impression that it doidn;t work properly yet
[02:23] <MaKkY> or amphi: can YOU help me?
[02:23] <boabsta> roostishaw: let a=a+1
[02:24] <locomorto> axisys, I *think* the AIGLX works though
[02:24] <amphi> MaKkY: with what?
[02:24] <locomorto> that*
[02:24] <abo> Phuzion, press <alt>+<f2> and type this in: gksudo "update-manager -d"
[02:24] <RandolphCarter> sally_: if it's anime, named .mkv, it's probably h264.  support in Dapper's a bit off
[02:24] <Phuzion> abo:  I have no GUI
[02:24] <Fujitsu> axisys, I've done it.
[02:24] <MaKkY> amphi: installing a .tar.gz
[02:24] <Phuzion> Bash is my only option
[02:24] <MaKkY> amphi: private chat please
[02:24] <axisys> Fujitsu: intel i810?
[02:24] <Phuzion> And I'm currently working through SSH
[02:24] <amphi> MaKkY: no PM please
[02:24] <Jowi> roostishaw: variable=value
[02:24] <amphi> MaKkY: what is this tar.gz ?
[02:25] <MaKkY> amphi: hplip.tar.gz its for my printer
[02:25] <amphi> MaKkY: tar zxvf hplip.tar.gz
[02:25] <axisys> locomorto: is there some steps for AIGLX ? i have a hp 6220 laptop with intel video i810
[02:25] <abo> Phuzion, u're using a console irc? (or is it a different box)
[02:25] <locomorto> sally_, I find vlc and/or mplayer works for all of the (limited) number of H.264 videos i've thrown at it
[02:25] <akant> Do any of you use HPLIP with a PhotoSmart 3100 ?
[02:25] <MaKkY> amphi: i have already extracted it
[02:25] <amphi> MaKkY: there should be some README or whatever in there
[02:25] <sally_> RandolphCarter, no it isnt anime
[02:25] <Phuzion> abo:  I'm working remotely, because the machine is on the other side of the house
[02:25] <Aphostile> Can anyone help me install Personal Security Manager for Firefox/Mozilla 1.7.13?
[02:25] <mwe> axisys: I have used xgl on an 810
[02:26] <yaru> hey guy
[02:26] <amphi> RandolphCarter: it's an avi not a matroska (if that's what mkv is)
[02:26] <Phuzion> Can someone post a valid sources.list and give me the URL to wget it from?
[02:26] <yaru> how do i force to change the resolution?
[02:26] <axisys> mwe: did u follow this? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=739758

[02:26] <sally_> amphi, yeah it was 200ms off, hitting - twice worked... is the bug you're talking about in mplayer ?
[02:26] <yaru> when i go to system->preference->screen resolution, it only allows me up to 1024*768
[02:26] <mwe> axisys: no I followed some wikis form wiki.ubuntu.com
[02:26] <amphi> sally_: no, it was in mencoder's 3-pass encoding IIRC
[02:26] <Aphostile> Can anyone help me install Personal Security Manager for Firefox/Mozilla 1.7.13?
[02:26] <yaru> but i want to change it to 1280*1024
[02:26] <locomorto> axisys, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=145068&highlight=aiglx
[02:27] <yaru> is there any way to do it?
[02:27] <sally_> amphi, do you know why xine plays it right ?
[02:27] <amphi> sally_: the problem is in the avi file; mplayer can deal with it, just not automagically
[02:27] <penguinwhoflew> how do i manually restart xdisplay after i ctrl+slt+bkspc?
[02:27] <abo> Phuzion, I'm not sure I know how to help, I had lots of problem upgrading, I had to reinstall Breezy, and now I'm still upgrading second attempt :P
[02:27] <roostishaw> Jowi, I mean like during a while statement. I want it to print 1 then 2 then 3... and so on.. adding one each time the while statement runs
[02:27] <amphi> sally_: it does? no, I don't use xine
[02:27] <Aphostile> I'm in the folder
[02:27] <Aphostile> rather file system
[02:27] <Schalken> how do i burn a cd iso in ubuntu?
[02:27] <n0deal> mwe: no dice... tried removing and re-installing grub.
[02:28] <mwe> axisys: it was pretty easy, actually
[02:28] <mwe> n0deal: odd
[02:28] <axisys> mwe: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager/Xgl ?
[02:28] <n0deal> mwe: the config file in boot/grub/ actually looks correct

[02:28] <jadaz87> hello i am wondering how can i disable the native dapper driver for my wireless card?
[02:28] <Schalken> ubotu: cd iso
[02:28] <ubotu> Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Schalken
[02:28] <Aphostile> I guess I'm doing unsupported things, right?:)
[02:28] <mwe> axisys: yeah and some of the other ones under compositemanager
[02:28] <Ricky28269> how would i clear out the master boot record of one of my hard drives??
[02:29] <axisys> mwe: thnx
[02:29] <Fujitsu> axisys, i915, but they're very similar.
[02:29] <Fujitsu> Why, Ricky28269?
[02:29] <gnomefreak> Ricky28269: in windows its fixmbr im assuming its the same in linux but i dont remember
[02:29] <Jowi> Ricky28269: you don't clear it out. it get overwritten.
[02:30] <mwe> axisys: I removed it again though
[02:30] <Ricky28269> Fujitsu: because GRUB got deleted from its partition but not from the MBR, so it gives me Error 22. And I already have a boot menu thing in one of my partitions that works just fine when the MBR is empty
[02:30] <mwe> axisys: it's not 100% stable
[02:30] <axisys> Fujitsu: this is what I have, VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller
[02:30] <n0deal> mwe: something to do with my notebook perhaps?  it's a TOshiba satellite M30.  I found one other person who ran into the same error as me on gentoo... http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?func=detailitem&item_id=15618#comments
[02:30] <axisys> mwe: why?
[02:30] <Ricky28269> Jowi: ok then how would i write it with straight 0s?
[02:30] <Schalken> hmmm, how do i burn a cd iso in ubuntu?
[02:30] <amphi> Ricky28269: dd
[02:30] <abo> grrrrr, It's my second failed attempt upgrading to dapper from breezy, it says error encountered while processing flashplugin-nonfree, : the upgrades aborts now, your system can be in an unusable state, What should I do?!
[02:30] <mwe> axisys: and other opengl stuff would not work with compiz
[02:30] <n0deal> mwe: unfortuantely there are no replies to the bug report
[02:30] <amphi> Ricky28269: carefully ;)
[02:30] <Fujitsu> Same as mine, axisys.
[02:30] <axisys> mwe: like what... learning :-)
[02:30] <abo> it seems only the flash plugin have failed, and is screwing my whole upgrade
[02:30] <abo> anyway to fix that?
[02:31] <axisys> Fujitsu: what steps u follow?
[02:31] <Fujitsu> Ricky28269, it should boot from the MBR...
[02:31] <Fujitsu> Ricky28269, and only from there.
[02:31] <AlwaysIcey> Hi everyone.  I just tried installing Ubuntu Server on an older computer.  It installs, but when I go to reboot and finish, it constantly reboots.  I'm pretty much lost here.
[02:31] <roostishaw> Jowi, thanks!
[02:31] <Fujitsu> abo, how'd it fail?
[02:31] <mwe> axisys: like games not working
[02:31] <Fujitsu> axisys, the Nvidia ones.
[02:31] <bioeng> Can I ask some questions, guys?
[02:31] <mwe> axisys: crashes now and then
[02:31] <adaran> anyone know what happened to "lndir"?
[02:31] <Fujitsu> Just without the Nvidia drivers.
[02:31] <adaran> it used to be in xlibs
[02:31] <Aphostile> I guess I'll uninstall firefox and try to install the ubunto compatible release, but it was so not current
[02:31] <adaran> but xlibs is no more
[02:31] <adaran> => no lndir
[02:31] <mwe> axisys: computer stalling for about 15 seconds from time to time
[02:31] <gnomefreak> msg ubotu xlibs
[02:32] <n0deal> mwe: perhaps if I had /boot as an actual partition ?
[02:32] <bioeng> I'm having some trouble with the software portion of my EE degree
 Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, adaran
[02:32] <abo> Fujitsu: it says  error encountered while processing flashplugin-nonfree, dapper: Fatal IO error 9 (bad file descriptor) on X server: 0.0.
[02:32] <mwe> axisys: it was impressive though. I'll wait till it's more stable though
[02:32] <Jowi> Ricky28269: i think you do it with "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/device bs=something count=1" *BIG WARNING* I'm not sure of the default values to use
[02:32] <bioeng> nm
[02:32] <abo> Fujitsu: last time this happened X wouldn't start after reboot
[02:32] <Fujitsu> mwe, I run it full-time on one of my other machines.
[02:32] <Ricky28269> Fujitsu: can't partitions have boot data, and the BIOS searches for that data on startup... right?
[02:32] <gnomefreak> adaran: i think it was xlibs-dev that is needed ubotu knows it i just cant think of trigger for it
[02:32] <ali4728> Help ...What is the Linux equivalent of "Dev-C++"  IDE ? Thanks
[02:33] <Fujitsu> abo, because the upgrade didn't complete...
[02:33] <aTypical> ali4728, vim.
[02:33] <Fujitsu> ali4728, Anjuta.
[02:33] <amphi> Ricky28269: why do you want to zero the mbr?
[02:33] <axisys> Fujitsu: did u follow this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CompositeManager/Xgl
[02:33] <Fujitsu> axisys, I think so.
[02:33] <adaran> gnomefreak, well all i want is lndir...
[02:33] <Fujitsu> adaran, lndir is not in any package any more.
[02:33] <abo> Fujitsu, ok how can I fix the problem and carry on with the upgrade?
[02:33] <adaran> Fujitsu, yes. that's a shame =)
[02:33] <ali4728> aTypical, Fujitsu Thanks guys
[02:33] <axisys> Fujitsu: which pkg u picked? nvidia-glx/xorg-driver-fglrx/xserver-xgl ?
[02:33] <Ricky28269> amphi: because grub screwed my system, basically
[02:33] <Fujitsu> abo, sudo aptitude remove flashplugin-nonfree.
[02:33] <Fujitsu> abo, then retry the upgrade.
[02:34] <Fujitsu> xserver-xgl, axisys.
[02:34] <bioeng> Hey, I'm having some programming related problems that I could use some help with if you guys don't mind answering them
[02:34] <amphi> Ricky28269: replacing it with zeros isn't going to help anything
[02:34] <axisys> Fujitsu: excellent.. i am give it a try now
[02:34] <adaran> Fujitsu, gnomefreak so i'm stuck with fixing the program myself (doesn't compile cleanly) or writing a replacement?
[02:34] <ydnar> is there a guide out there for "things to do" directly after doing a clean install?
[02:34] <amphi> bioeng: just ask
[02:34] <Ricky28269> amphi: i'm pretty sure one of my partitions has a boot menu in it
[02:34] <gnomefreak> adaran: what program is it?
[02:34] <Fujitsu> Ricky28269, you need to rewrite your MBR with GRUB.
[02:34] <amphi> Ricky28269: heh
[02:34] <Fujitsu> adaran, what does/did it do?
[02:34] <bioeng> I used to be a computer engineering student
[02:34] <abo> !tell abo about upgrade
[02:35] <dodgyville> Hello
[02:35] <AlwaysIcey> Hello dodgyville
[02:35] <[zero] > I have a problem with the flash plugin for firefox (it might be just flash but I am unsure) It does not play sound, only pictures.. anyone know why?
[02:35] <bioeng> but I had a very hard time with the software programming portion of that degree
[02:35] <Botty> I'm in knoppix right now, funny thing is that ubuntu 64bit won't boot to a desktop in either safe or normal graphics mode
[02:35] <dodgyville> Since I upgraded I seem to be getting >50% packet loss when I ping my ADSL modem at <IP_ADDRESS> ... that seems high. Shouldn't it be 0%?
[02:35] <Fujitsu> [zero] , that's a common issue. Please install alsa-oss, and then run firefox like so:
[02:35] <Fujitsu> aoss firefox
[02:35] <bioeng> In fact, I learned very little when I was in school
[02:35] <bioeng> so I dropped out
[02:35] <adaran> Fujitsu, gnomefreak it creates a deep copy of a directory using symbolic links
[02:36] <Fujitsu> dodgyville, on a local network it should be 0.
[02:36] <shammy> Are there any wireless improvements in Dapper?
[02:36] <Fujitsu> adaran, hmm.
[02:36] <mwe> mm
[02:36] <[zero] > Fujitsu: do I have to run firefox that way always or just once?
[02:36] <Fujitsu> shammy, configuration is much easier.
[02:36] <AlwaysIcey> dodgyville, it may not always be 0%, but > 50 is high.
[02:36] <Botty> If I boot in safe mode, the screen just goes black, but i heara  jungleish intro sound
[02:36] <Fujitsu> [zero] , whenever you want Flash sound, until this issue gets fixed.
[02:36] <bioeng> I'd like to get back into the computer scene
[02:36] <Botty> If I boot in normal i get an ugly ascii error screen
[02:36] <shammy> Fujitsu, ndiswrapper still a must for most?
[02:36] <Fujitsu> bioeng, this is rather off topic.
[02:36] <Botty> and goes to bash
[02:36] <Fujitsu> shammy, some, not most.
[02:36] <[zero] > Ah ok thankx Fujitsu :)
[02:36] <bioeng> Where can I go to discuss this then?
[02:37] <sfar> Hi, how do i reconfigure xserver-xorg? :)
[02:37] <amphi> bioeng: you're being somewhat vague ;)
[02:37] <AlwaysIcey> Networking Bioeng..  Networking.
[02:37] <gnomefreak> bioeng: #ubuntu-offtopic
[02:37] <Fujitsu> adaran, what errors do you get?
[02:37] <dodgyville> AlwaysIcey, Fujitsu: Is there any to find out what connections are being attempted and why they're cutting out? E.g. Could bittorrent be opening too many connections, causing the whole thing to dump?
[02:37] <amphi> bioeng: ##linux perhaps, that's pretty much #offtopic anyway ;)
[02:37] <Fujitsu> sfar, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:37] <Fujitsu> dodgyville, netstat
[02:37] <axisys> mwe: how to remove xgl if i dont like?
[02:37] <sfar> thank you
[02:37] <bioeng> I'll try there
[02:37] <bioeng> Thank you
[02:37] <adaran> Fujitsu no worries, just a few portability issues (was ripped from an autoconf installation) and a missing queue.c (which i found, too). so now it's not pretty, but compiles and works, i hope
[02:37] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell axisys -about xgl
[02:37] <AlwaysIcey> Dodgyville.  You may want to add -an to the netstat command.
[02:37] <Fujitsu> Good.
[02:38] <dodgyville> Fujitsu, AlwaysIcey: Thanks
[02:38] <spartas> just a quick question, does the delay in releasing dapper affect the future releases (e.g. edgy will be delayed until december), or does it just allow the devs less time to work on edgy?
[02:38] <mwe> axisys: just revert the config files you edit. make a backup before you change them
[02:38] <Fujitsu> No problem, dodgyville.
[02:38] <gnomefreak> spartas: no
[02:38] <Fujitsu> sparkleytone, just less time on Edgy.
[02:38] <mwe> axisys: are you using gnome
[02:38] <nooblinux> hello im ready to install ubuntu on my laptop. it is a hp dv5040. i have 2GB of RAM. which size should i give to swap partition?
[02:38] <gnomefreak> spartas: edgy release is set for oct atm
[02:38] <spartas> kk, thanks gus
[02:38] <Fujitsu> nooblinux, 1GB would probably do.
[02:38] <spartas> *guys
[02:39] <AlwaysIcey> Dodgyville:  I would also try shutting everything down that you dont' have to have running (bittorrents and such) and then ping.  See if that affects it at all.
[02:39] <Fujitsu> Good idea, AlwaysIcey.
[02:39] <nooblinux> Fujitsu: some guys said 512MB should be enough. isnt it?
[02:39] <Jowi> nooblinux: 512 should be enough.
[02:39] <Botty> I'm in knoppix right now, funny thing is that ubuntu 64bit won't boot to a desktop in either safe or normal graphics mode.  If I boot in safe mode, the screen just goes black, but i heara  jungleish intro sound.    That's good to know...
[02:39] <majd> anyone know where xchat saves the log files?
[02:39] <Fujitsu> Botty, what processor do you have? What video card?
[02:40] <Fujitsu> majd, ~/.xchat/xchatlogs
[02:40] <Fujitsu> Oops,
[02:40] <amphi> nooblinux: depends - if you want to use swsusp, give it a lot more, unless you expect not to be using much ram
[02:40] <AlwaysIcey> That pretty much tells you what's causing the packet loss then.  Which client (Bittorrent) are you running?
[02:40] <Fujitsu> ~/.xchat2/xchatlogs
[02:40] <spanglesontoast> does anyone have the dapper drake sources ?
[02:40] <axisys> Fujitsu: did u modify the "Module" section of xorg.conf to add "glx" and comment out "GLcore" and "dri"?
[02:40] <Botty> Fujitsu - amd athlon64 3500+, radeon X700
[02:40] <nooblinux> amphi: what is swsusp?
[02:40] <Fujitsu> axisys, I think so.
[02:40] <majd> thanks Fujitsu
[02:40] <Gilly> hello all
[02:40] <amphi> nooblinux: a 'hibernating' mechanism
[02:40] <Fujitsu> Botty, it's the new Radeon doing it.
[02:40] <Fujitsu> YOu need the proper drivers.
[02:41] <axisys> Fujitsu: it says do that if u have nvidia
[02:41] <rdz> how can i change the fontsize of the taskbar and the windowborders?
[02:41] <Botty> yeah
[02:41] <Fujitsu> spanglesontoast, for what part?
[02:41] <amphi> nooblinux: aka suspend-to-disk
[02:41] <Fujitsu> axisys, I can't remember.
[02:41] <Botty> I have always had problems with this computer
[02:41] <nooblinux> amphi: whithout it i cant hibernate my laptop?
[02:41] <Botty> as far as linux goes
[02:41] <Gilly> i tried ubuntu when they were at 5.10 and had a lot of problems
[02:41] <Gilly> how is the 6.06 release?
[02:41] <Botty> the thing is, knoppix is working right now, in vga mode i believe
[02:41] <Fujitsu> Botty, it's just because of your super-recent graphics card.
[02:41] <AlwaysIcey> Does Dapper have any drivers for an ancient soundcard?  AZT1008 (not sure who the manufacturer is though).
[02:41] <amphi> nooblinux: you need enough swap for swsusp to be able to write out the systems state
[02:41] <rdz> Gilly, everything just works here....
[02:41] <Fujitsu> ubotu, tell Botty about ati
[02:41] <varsendaggr> hey i want neverball   how do i get it?
[02:41] <Gilly> great
[02:41] <spanglesontoast> for apt
[02:41] <Fujitsu> Gilly, Ubuntu 6.06 LTS is terrific.
[02:42] <axisys> Fujitsu: do u have nvidia driver?
[02:42] <Gilly> I've got a 1280x800 display
[02:42] <nooblinux> amphi: how much is enough?
[02:42] <Aphostile> Isn't the latest ubuntu Firefox missing some security?
[02:42] <rdz> Gilly, i had one probelm with rgb.txt
[02:42] <Fujitsu> varsendaggr, install neverball from Synaptic.
[02:42] <Gilly> i know in beta i needed the 915resolution
[02:42] <Fujitsu> Aphostile, <IP_ADDRESS>, I believe.
[02:42] <Fujitsu> Gilly, that is still true.
[02:42] <Gilly> have the updated the final release or do I still need a patch?
[02:42] <rdz> Gilly, but it was easily fixed
[02:42] <amphi> nooblinux: I have 1.5GB ram here, and ~2GB swap to be on the safe side, as I sometimes use all ram and a fair bit of swap
[02:42] <Fujitsu> Gilly, but no manual configuration is required.
[02:42] <Aphostile> k
[02:42] <varsendaggr> i did that but it isn't in my /usr/bin
[02:42] <Fujitsu> varsendaggr, probably /usr/games
[02:42] <dodgyville> Thanks for your help
[02:42] <abo> Fujitsu, I removed the flashplugin-nonfree, but when I try to upgrade, it says system is uptodate, I'm almost sure if I restart, X will fail, is there a way to test that and fix it without restarting x and failing?
[02:42] <Gilly> is there an apt-get for the 915?
[02:42] <nooblinux> amphi: does ubuntu install this swsusp automatically?
[02:42] <amphi> nooblinux: I don't know the exact requirements, so I 'over-engineered' it ;)
[02:43] <mwe> Aphostile: It was crashing all the time for me so I installed <IP_ADDRESS>. it's stable for me
[02:43] <Fujitsu> Gilly, yes.
[02:43] <amphi> nooblinux: dunno, I'm afraid - I expect so, or perhaps swsusp2
[02:43] <varsendaggr> yeah that's it
[02:43] <Fujitsu> Gilly, just the 915resolution package.
[02:43] <Gilly> fujitsu: okay great
[02:43] <Fujitsu> abo, you can restart X...
[02:43] <Gilly> fujitsu: is the intel 2200 supported without patch?
[02:43] <Botty> should probably update uboto's urls - "The requested URL /starterguide/C/ch04.html was not found on this server."
[02:43] <rdz> Gilly, yes
[02:43] <nooblinux> amphi: last time i installed ubuntu when i tried to hibernate the system the laptop was halted..
[02:43] <Fujitsu> Gilly, wireless?
[02:44] <Gilly> rdz: thanks
[02:44] <rdz> Gilly, it just worked out of the box
[02:44] <mwe> hmm
[02:44] <Fujitsu> Gilly, I'm using it, so yes.
[02:44] <nooblinux> amphi: with 512mb of swap
[02:44] <Gilly> fujitsu: yeah
[02:44] <abo> Fujitsu, yeah but if X fails! I'll be stuck in console without help!
[02:44] <AlwaysIcey> Does anyone have any links to documentation on modconf?  I just found in the forums that I can get my soundcard to work, but I need to use that.
[02:44] <nooblinux> amphi: should this be the cause of that problem>
[02:44] <Fujitsu> abo, true.
[02:44] <Gilly> fujitsu/rdz: how's the startup time?
[02:44] <Fujitsu> abo, it might be advisable to have a Live CD around.
[02:44] <Fujitsu> Gilly, what do you mean?
[02:44] <Fujitsu> Gilly, for Dapper itself?
[02:44] <Gilly> fujitsu: for dapper, yeah
[02:44] <Jowi> abo: install irssi or some other irc client for console just in case
[02:44] <mirak> I want to copy all files I find with find command somewhere.   I try something like find -name *.x -exec cp /tmp  but it fails
[02:44] <Fujitsu> Gilly, much faster.
[02:44] <mirak> I don't understand the man
[02:44] <Fujitsu> abo, do as Jowi says.
[02:45] <Fujitsu> mirak, xargs is your friend.
[02:45] <klormexor> RandolphCarter: didnt load up anything, am i supposed to get that at the boot screen.
[02:45] <Gilly> fujitsu: I'm downloading it now, so I guess I'll soon find out
[02:45] <axisys> Fujitsu: i am confused about should i follow nvidia or ati?
[02:45] <Fujitsu> axisys, I really can't remember.
[02:45] <Gilly> fujitsu & rdz: thanks so much for the info
[02:45] <rdz> Gilly,  hard to say. after upgrading from breezy, it was much better... then i had to reinstall from scratch, then it was quite sow again. but after putting back all config files, it is fast again
[02:45] <Fujitsu> No problems.
[02:45] <Xeppo> anyone wanna test mt FTP server?
[02:45] <amphi> nooblinux: could be, although swsusp should just abort if there's not enough space, I'd have thought
[02:45] <Fujitsu> Where is it, Xeppo?
[02:45] <rdz> Gilly, np
[02:45] <Xeppo> <IP_ADDRESS> user: Test pass: test
[02:45] <axisys> Fujitsu: ur xgl still works?
[02:46] <Gilly> rdz: what config files. i mean, did it take a lot of tweaking to get it fast?
[02:46] <Botty> I suppose I'll have to actually install in order to try getting another driver
[02:46] <RandolphCarter> klormexor: to get?
[02:46] <amphi> nooblinux: I don't know what, if any, compression swsusp does
[02:46] <IntangibleLiquid> hi ppl, I'm new to ubuntu. I have a cable modem connecting to an ethernet card. But ubuntu cannot detect the port device. I am gonna install ubuntu on my comp but how can I make the connection?
[02:46] <Gilly> rdz: cuz I'm a total noob
[02:47] <nrbelex_ubuntu> Hi, I'm trying to play MP3s, should have the codecs installed from EasyUbuntu but am getting the error: "could not get/set settings from/on resouce." How can I fix this?
[02:47] <mwe> axisys: you wont be able to run other GL programs with compiz and i810
[02:47] <rdz> Gilly, i can't say. i used the one from my previous installation. i can only say: when you are upgrading from breezy to dapper, it was much faster oin my machine. but when installing dapper directly, it was not so fast
[02:47] <axisys> mwe: for example?
[02:47] <amphi> IntangibleLiquid: the only cable modem I used I just ran dhclient on the interface, and it worked
[02:47] <Fujitsu> axisys, I haven't tried in a couple of months on this laptop.
[02:47] <RandolphCarter> klormexor: ah, did you run 'sudo update-grub' after running the ln?
[02:47] <mwe> axisys: games
[02:47] <NthDegree> nrbelex_ubuntu: get gstreamer codecs
[02:47] <klormexor> RandolphCarter: to get that bootsplash sorry, I did link a file from that folder to /boot/grub/etc...  and it shows the link
[02:47] <klormexor> RandolphCarter: dop! no
[02:47] <mwe> axisys: supertux
[02:47] <klormexor> Im on it
[02:47] <axisys> mwe: no problem :P
[02:47] <amphi> IntangibleLiquid: of course, the damn thing had to be reset if you plugged it into another NIC, due to some isp setting
[02:47] <nrbelex_ubuntu> Nthdegree, where do I find them?
[02:47] <Gilly> rdz: any suggestions? i'm not upgrading, i'm doing a clean install.  running xp pro now
[02:47] <IntangibleLiquid> amphi : how can I do that. Sorry, I am used to network config of fedora
[02:48] <RandolphCarter> klormexor: sorry, afaik it ran it automagically after you installed the grub-splashimages package, my fault
[02:48] <mwe> axisys: if you don't play games and don't mind a crash now and then, go ahead
[02:48] <amphi> IntangibleLiquid: just type 'sudo dhclient ethX' in a term should do it
[02:48] <Botty> well i'm going to mess around a bit
[02:48] <mwe> axisys: using gnome?
[02:48] <green_earz> AlwaysIcey:  first find out what the sound driver name is, check the link > http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl/    then install modconf and to fire modconf up the command i think is " sudo modconf " or its " dpkg-reconfigure modconf "  then track your drive down in the lists
[02:48] <NthDegree> nrbelex_ubuntu: mp3s are non-free so look in multiverse and restricted using synaptic
[02:48] <RandolphCarter> klormexor: provided the link's setup okay, running that command should say something like 'Splashimage Found at...'
[02:48] <abo> I have Breezy live, would it be usefull if X breaks?
[02:48] <axisys> mwe: yeap
[02:48] <nrbelex_ubuntu> Nthdegree, thanks
[02:48] <rdz> Gilly, i don't know what it is related to.. i just copied my old /etc/-dir
[02:48] <Fujitsu> ubotu, tell nrbelex_ubuntu about mp3
[02:48] <axisys> mwe: i have both gnome and xfce
[02:48] <Botty> maybe i'm having problems because its using my old ubuntu instalation instead
[02:48] <klormexor> RandolphCarter:  ok let me check that
[02:48] <NthDegree> no problem :) that's what support is for
[02:48] <abo> would I be able to fix the HD installation from within the live CD?
[02:48] <nooblinux> im on ubuntu live trying to install it on my hd. is there any way to resize a fat32 partition to get more space before install it?
[02:48] <nbx909> !tell nrbelex_ubuntu about mp3
[02:49] <AlwaysIcey> Thanks Green_earz
[02:49] <green_earz> np
[02:49] <Gilly> fujitsu: did you do much tweaking to dapper to get speed?
[02:49] <Fujitsu> nbx909, I already did that.
[02:49] <Fujitsu> Gilly, no.
[02:49] <mwe> axisys: good. you have to run gnome-window-decorator in any desktop environment, using compiz
[02:49] <penguinwhoflew> does sudo have like a -password thing?
[02:49] <Xeppo> Fujitsu, could you get in?
[02:49] <cwill1> whats the 'recommended' status on openoffice?
[02:49] <nbx909> Fujitsu, ubotu told me that you did :P
[02:49] <mwe> axisys: or you wont have window borders and close buttons etc
[02:49] <AlwaysIcey> I know it's the driver for the 3200 version.  I'll have to get the exact one and do that.  Assuming I can boot into ubuntu.
[02:49] <NthDegree> nooblinux, if you are trying to multiboot windows & linux don't bother
[02:49] <Jowi> penguinwhoflew: explain what you mean
[02:49] <cwill1> oops, make that on openoffice quick start?
[02:49] <rdz> Gilly, on breezy i had to wait long time until networkinterfaces have been configured, but afaik, this isn't an issue in dapper anymore
[02:49] <klormexor> RandolphCarter: found it. brb
[02:49] <Fujitsu> I'll check, Xeppo.
[02:49] <Gilly> nthdegree: sorry to but in, but why not bother?
[02:49] <Xeppo> kk
[02:49] <klormexor> RandolphCarter: thanx
[02:49] <Fujitsu> Can't seem to connect, Xeppo.
[02:49] <abo> charbel, are you here?
[02:49] <WebMaven> Still nothing new on my laptop-killing-NIC issue.
[02:49] <Xeppo> Bah
[02:50] <NthDegree> Gilly, you see although windows is "ok" it has an NSA backdoor in it
[02:50] <axisys> mwe: in that case I will leave xgl alone for now :-)
[02:50] <NthDegree> and that is proven
[02:50] <nrbelex_ubuntu> nthdegree, alsa or esd?
[02:50] <mwe> axisys: it will work
[02:50] <WebMaven> Anyone here on the kernel or kernel-networking teams?
[02:50] <Fujitsu> NthDegree, stop spreading FUD.
[02:50] <mirak> find ./ -name *.deb -exec cp {} /tmp/   this doesn't work, I miss something
[02:50] <penguinwhoflew> Jowi: like i want to sudo something in one line, without it asking me for my pass
[02:50] <mirak> this doesn't work
[02:50] <Fujitsu> NthDegree, stop being silly, negative.
[02:50] <mwe> axisys: you run gnome-window-decorator and it works
[02:50] <NthDegree> nrbelex_ubuntu, i would assume alsa
[02:50] <klormexor> Fujitsu: NUD :|
[02:50] <axisys> mwe: yeap but i dont see how with i810.. it only talks about ati and nvidia
[02:50] <Fujitsu> klormexor, ?
[02:51] <klormexor> whatd dat
[02:51] <mwe> axisys: it works with i810 as well
[02:51] <Fujitsu> !fud
[02:51] <nrbelex_ubuntu> hmm... actually they are both already installed, nthdegree
[02:51] <ubotu> well, fud is [FUD]  Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. A marketing technique employed by those who do not trust in the merits of their own product. Also Fair Use Day.
[02:51] <abo> Fujitsu, would I be able to fix X problem on a Dapper install from within Breezy live CD?
[02:51] <nbx909> WebMaven, no why?
[02:51] <NthDegree> Fujitsu, but it's proven I don't see how that is FUD it's just a fact that isn't well known
[02:51] <Fujitsu> abo, probably.
[02:51] <mwe> axisys: what processor?
[02:51] <axisys> intel
[02:51] <Fujitsu> NthDegree, stop being stupid.
[02:51] <klormexor> Fujitsu: now i see
[02:51] <Fujitsu> NthDegree, nothing of the sort exists.
[02:51] <axisys> mwe: let me join #ubuntu-xgl
[02:51] <NthDegree> nrbelex_ubuntu: there are some others that are called "ugly"
[02:51] <mwe> axisys: how fast?
[02:51] <mwe> axisys: yeah
[02:51] <amphi> NthDegree: the fact is that there is (or was) some NSA_KEY key in the registry, that's all
[02:51] <RandolphCarter> klormexor: np :)
[02:52] <abo> Fujitsu, ok ... I try restarting and if X fails, I'll use the live CD
[02:52] <charbel> q
[02:52] <Fujitsu> Good luck, abo.
[02:52] <klormexor> RandolphCarter: heh ok brb
[02:52] <NthDegree> amphi, not in the registry
[02:52] <cwill1> NthDegree;  got a reference?
[02:52] <nrbelex_ubuntu> nthdegree, I also have those
[02:52] <WebMaven> nbx909: trying to get my issue addressed. It affects a number of users I know about: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/48263
[02:52] <Jowi> penguinwhoflew: sudo will always ask for a password. but it will remember it for awhile. so if you do many sudos you don't have to type it in all the time. you can also do "sudo -i" to get root terminal.
[02:52] <Fujitsu> NthDegree, I don't like Windows either, but I don't spread untruthful FUD about it.
[02:52] <NthDegree> nrbelex_ubuntu, I don't know then
[02:52] <dts> so I installed sun-java5-bin and i selected it as the active java but when I go on a Java site in firefox nothing happens, it asks me to install the plugin
[02:52] <dts> any ideas
[02:52] <NthDegree> Fujitsu it is the truth i'll get the link
[02:53] <amphi> NthDegree: IIRC, there was a reg key called 'NSA_KEY', which seems more like a joke than anything to fear; not that I run windows anyway
[02:53] <nbx909> WebMaven, it's a confirmed critical bug which means the team is working to correct it asap
[02:53] <Gilly> nthdegree: that statement was published in the late 90s
[02:53] <Gilly> 99 i think
[02:53] <Gilly> nthdegree: and then taken back
[02:53] <Gilly> nthdegree: don't get me wrong ... it may be true
[02:53] <NthDegree> amphi: not a registry key lmfao
[02:53] <Gilly> nthdegree: but it's no more proven than jimmy hoffa's burial
[02:54] <phrizer> anyone have any idea how i can get opengl working for my SiS630/730 chip?
[02:54] <nrbelex_ubuntu> So yea, I have most of the gstreamer plug-ins installed and can't get MP3s to play. Anybody know of a solution?
[02:54] <NthDegree> Gilly, if it was 100% provable then M$ would be out of pocket
[02:54] <Gilly> nthdegree: no way
[02:54] <NthDegree> nrbelex_ubuntu enable all the repos you may not have them all enabled
[02:54] <Hajuu> Hey guys! I came in last night and asked for some help with my xorg... Still haven't been able to fix it. I accidentally installed nvidia-glx instead of nvidia-glx-legacy because the package description of nvidia-glx said it supported the tnt2.. I think the description had been switched with the legacy package by mistake somehow.. Um.. So now, I have apt-get remove nvidia-glx, but the nvidia-glx-legacy doesn't appear in my repositories.. W
[02:54] <Gilly> nthdegree: MS is way better than to let some NSA backdoor bring them down
[02:54] <Fujitsu> NthDegree, I'm waiting for the link that doesn't exist.
[02:55] <nbx909> !tell nrbelex_ubuntu about mp3
[02:55] <Gilly> nthdegree: don't forget who you are talking about.  what else would people buy?
[02:55] <drake2> the real problem with windows is when you type NYC in wingding font in wordpad.
[02:55] <Gilly> nthdegree: if gasoline were made with baby seal blood, people would still need to drive
[02:55] <Fujitsu> People, cut the offtopic FUD, please.
[02:55] <Weirdbro> drake2: Thats just luck
[02:55] <nbx909> !offtopic
[02:55] <ubotu> Non Ubuntu support related discussions may be carried out in the channel #ubuntu-offtopic. Editor/Language wars are welcome there!
[02:55] <Weirdbro> read skepdic.com
[02:55] <halibut> why do none of the config windows have cancel buttons? just close?
[02:55] <Gilly> fujitsu: good point, my apologies
[02:55] <dts> drake2: what happens?
[02:55] <NthDegree> http://www.my-opensource.org/lists/myoss/2002-11/msg00081.html @ everyone who thinks that claim is FUD
[02:56] <cwill1> that's the 1999 that got taken back, iirc
[02:56] <drake2> well, my real curiosity was what the heck Nelson Mandela has to do with an OS and should I avoid ubuntu because it is just being used as a political platform? This being a serious question.
[02:56] <Gilly> nthdegree: last thing i'll say. release in 1999, before XP. released at an open-source site.  bias?
[02:56] <Fujitsu> dts, drake2, can you please take this to #ubuntu-offtopic.
[02:56] <nbx909> !tell NthDegree about offtopic
[02:57] <NthDegree> i know about offtopic
[02:57] <NthDegree> bug #1 :P
[02:57] <Hajuu> Anyone able to tell me what the ps2 ports are under in /dev/ ?
[02:57] <jani_> Hajuu, try commenting out the backport repo.. then sudo apt-get update
[02:57] <Gilly> is ubuntu the OS for the OLPC $100 laptop?
[02:57] <Fujitsu> Gilly, no,
[02:57] <nbx909> Gilly, no fedora core is
[02:57] <phpmattk_> how do i stop sshd.. /etc/init.d/sshd stop nor stop sshd works
[02:58] <Gilly> ah, thanks
[02:58] <NthDegree> the truth is that I have tested, checked and hacked at windows and it still calls home and makes dozens of outgoing connections i didn't solicit
[02:58] <nbx909> because red hat payed them off :P
[02:58] <Jowi> Hajuu: /dev/input/mice for my ps2 mouse at least
[02:58] <lampshade> What's the best way to install flash.  Just enable the backports and apt-get?  Are there packages in backports that are in the other repos?  Like is it possible to accidentally install a version of firefox from there instead of the standard repos?
[02:58] <chapium> nbx909: donated
[02:58] <nbx909> NthDegree, take this to offtopic MMKAY?
[02:58] <nbx909> chapium, same thing... lol
[02:58] <NthDegree> ok fair do's :(
[02:58] <Fujitsu> lamp420, install flashplugin-nonfree, not from backports.
[02:58] <Jowi> 'night all
[02:58] <lampshade> phpmattk_: I thought was just /etc/init.d/ssh not sshd
[02:59] <phpmattk_> ahh.. i'll try that
[02:59] <Fujitsu> lampshade, that's right.
[02:59] <root_> woah. accidentally closed screen
[02:59] <hyphenated> lampshade: enable 'multiverse' and install flashplugin-nonfree
[02:59] <phpmattk_> lampshade: Fujitsu: thx
[02:59] <lampshade> isn't multiverse the same thing as backports or am I mistaken??
[02:59] <Weirdbro> hyphenated: That doesn't work mfor me. Firefox faisl to output any sound
[02:59] <NthDegree> multiverse = contributed non-free stuff
[03:00] <nrbelex_ubuntu> I have most of the gstreamer plug-ins installed including gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3  and can't get MP3s to play. Anybody know of a solution?
[03:00] <Hajuuu> So can anyone tell me what the ps2 ports are under in /dev/ ?
[03:00] <nbx909> !tell lampshade about backports
[03:00] <hyphenated> Hajuu: /dev/psaux, I think
[03:00] <Fujitsu> lampshade, they are distinct.
[03:00] <jani_> lamp420, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats check this out
[03:00] <Hajuuu> hyphenated: theres only one? But theres two ps2 ports
[03:01] <Fujitsu> hyphenated, that's right.
[03:01] <lamp420> nbx909: backports will let a version of firefox which is too low to support a plugin run it?
[03:01] <Fujitsu> Hajuu, the keyboard doesn't count.
[03:01] <Madwalker> hello
[03:01] <AngryElf> how do i check, with apt-get, if a package is installed?
[03:01] <supertanker> I thhought this may be important to ubuntu developers
[03:01] <Hajuuu> Fujitsu: ah ok cheers.
[03:01] <supertanker> http://spaces.msn.com/spaceslogo/
[03:01] <Madwalker> i was wondering is it still possible to install just the base of ubuntu?
[03:01] <Fujitsu> supertanker, everybody knows.
[03:01] <Fujitsu> Madwalker, yes.
[03:01] <supertanker> Either microsucks doesn't know its copyrighted, or they are just idiots
[03:01] <Madwalker> how?
[03:01] <nbx909> lamp420, no backports is for bleeding edge stuff
[03:01] <Fujitsu> Madwalker, without a GUI?
[03:01] <Hajuuu> I think no mouse is possibly stopping my xorg from starting.. could this be right?
[03:01] <Madwalker> yeah
[03:01] <supertanker> darn
[03:01] <hyphenated> AngryElf: you use dpkg for that
[03:01] <Fujitsu> Hajuu, depends on the error.
[03:01] <lamp420> nbx909: ahhh
[03:02] <supertanker> so what is going to HAPPEN about it?
[03:02] <Fujitsu> Madwalker, the server CD.
[03:02] <abo> Fujitsu, it worked :P !!!!
[03:02] <Fujitsu> supertanker, unsure
[03:02] <Fujitsu> Great, abo!
[03:02] <nbx909> :)
[03:02] <Madwalker> Fujitsu, i tried that but it gave me the server kernel 2.6.xx-server
[03:02] <TomB_> now I must sleepz
[03:02] <nbx909> nooooooooOOO!
[03:02] <hanasaki> where do i ge the codecs for ms file formats?
[03:02] <hanasaki> like movies
[03:02] <abo> Fujitsu, thanks :)  now back to installing all my apps
[03:02] <supertanker> In a perfect world, it would get microsoft shut down. But hte world isn't perfect...:(
[03:02] <Fujitsu> Madwalker, just install linux-image-2.6.15-23-686
[03:02] <nbx909> what time is it your time TomB_?
[03:02] <rdz> sorry to ask again: does anybody know, how to change fontsize of the taskbar and the windowtitlebar? (like when doing 'startx -- dpi 80')
[03:02] <Fujitsu> Unfortunately, supertanker.
[03:02] <TomB_> 02:02
[03:03] <Madwalker> Fujitsu, would it be possible to just use my old breezy cd then upgrade to dapper?
[03:03] <nbx909> Fujitsu, it would be better to do sudo apt-get install linux-image-686
[03:03] <Fujitsu> Madwalker, you could.
[03:03] <Madwalker> Fujitsu, ok thanks :)
[03:03] <Fujitsu> nbx909, true, for upgrading.
[03:03] <TR_WolF> what is the site to download that thing so i can save ubuntu iso to cd
[03:03] <nbx909> Fujitsu, yep
[03:03] <jani_> AngryElf, you can use synaptic to check it out...click on the "status" tab
[03:03] <LinuxJones> rdz, system >> preferences >> fonts
[03:03] <klormexor> RandolphCarter: worked
[03:03] <lamp420> nbc909, actually, I'll just upgrade to the latest ubuntu release and solve my problem that way... I have no attachment to 5.10
[03:03] <rdz> LinuxJones, thanx.. so easy.....
[03:03] <klormexor> RandolphCarter: If i want to view which is which? use gimp?
[03:03] <Madwalker> Fujitsu, oh one more question, is there a package in the repos for perl::xml?
[03:03] <Fujitsu> !iso
[03:03] <ubotu> somebody said iso was download Ubuntu at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ and for help burning the CD, please see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BurningIsoHowto
[03:04] <Fujitsu> Madwalker, XMLParser?
[03:04] <Fujitsu> TR_WolF, ^^^
[03:04] <LinuxJones> rdz, it takes a while to get used to Gnome/Linux in general :)
[03:04] <Hajuuu> ARGH!!!  Its been happening alot lately.. anyone know what could be causing it?
[03:04] <RandolphCarter> klormexor: I'm not sure, Imagemagick probably stands the best chance
[03:04] <klormexor> ok
[03:04] <Madwalker> Fujitsu, uhm, not sure it's just called perlxml on arch (what I currently use).
[03:04] <problems> lamp420 are you still here?
[03:04] <supertanker> "Xubuntu"? Now there's an Xfce buntu? cool....
[03:04] <lamp420> problems, yeah, email me<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[03:04] <AlwaysIcey> If you're on Windows XP, (yeah I know.. :S) you can download the RKTOOLS.EXE from Microsoft (Windows Server 2003 Resource Kit tools) and use CDBURN.EXE to burn the iso without having a third party program.
[03:05] <LinuxJones> supertanker, it's even in the main repos now
[03:05] <donk__> is there any way i can have my music and files on one pc and stream them and play them on a another?
[03:05] <lamp420> problems, and I'll try to help you
[03:05] <Fujitsu> Madwalker, there are a lot of libxml-*-perl packages.
[03:05] <Flannel> donk__: icecast, among others.
[03:05] <Hajuuu> And backspace repeats the last characters backwards with a \ infront..
[03:05] <Hajuuu> Not particularly useful.
[03:05] <Madwalker> Fujitsu, i'm looking specifically for the one thats needed to install xfce from the new binary installer :)
[03:05] <geeko_> hello folks, can someone help me with Dlink DWL-G122 Rev D1 USB wireless adapter configuration on Dapper?
[03:05] <Flannel> donk__: although, you might just want to setup some form of sharing, samba or whatnot.
[03:05] <problems> lamp420: okay, thanks
[03:05] <supertanker> darn, no xubuntu shipit
[03:05] <ubuntunick> wats up
[03:05] <supertanker> is Xfce nice?
[03:05] <lampshade> so I can enable the multiverse in synaptic?  Where?   I like it better then gnome and kde
[03:06] <LinuxJones> donk__, you can stream video/audio using flumotion streaming server
[03:06] <Madwalker> supertanker, just do sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[03:06] <supertanker> I have dialup, so I cannot exactly just download it really fast
[03:06] <amphi> supertanker: just use pon/poff
[03:06] <supertanker> ah
[03:06] <supertanker> whats pon/poff
[03:06] <hanasaki> w32codecs <= where do i get those.. the restricted formats and multiverse are in my sources.lst but  there package doesnt sem to exist
[03:07] <nrbelex_ubuntu> I have most of the gstreamer plug-ins installed including gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3 and can't get MP3s to play. Anybody know of a solution?
[03:07] <amphi> supertanker: that's what I use for dialup - pon whatever to connect, and poff to disconnect; pppconfig'll set it all up for you
[03:07] <Fujitsu> nrbelex_ubuntu, what error does it give?
[03:07] <nbx909> nrbelex_ubuntu, what are you trying to play them with?
[03:07] <donk__> linuxjones, does it have a windows port?
[03:07] <LinuxJones> donk__, yeah
[03:07] <jani_> lampshade, open synaptic package manager..got to Settings -- Repositories then check the repo you want to be added
[03:07] <Aphostile> I can't get ubuntu firefox working
[03:07] <supertanker> Weirdl, I will have to try that. Switching oses....
[03:07] <Aphostile> i uninstalled

[03:07] <Aphostile> all the packages
[03:07] <Hentai_Jeff|linu> I just installed skype and need to set my sound permissions to allow it
[03:07] <Aphostile> then i reinstalled them
[03:08] <Hentai_Jeff|linu> anyone know how to get that working?
[03:08] <lampshade> jani_: the repo I want isn't there, that's the problem :-/  I only have backports, not multiverse
[03:08] <donk__> ugh
[03:08] <nrbelex_ubuntu> Fujitsu, "could not get/set settings from/on resouce."
[03:08] <NthDegree> ubotu tell nrbelex_ubuntu about restricted formats
[03:08] <Hajuuu> Anyone able to tell me whats a fairly safe monitor setup in xorgconfig? I have absolutely no idea. 31.5 standard vga @ 60hz a fairly safe bet?
[03:08] <Aphostile> deric@dericspc:/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox$ ./firefox-bin
[03:08] <Aphostile> ./firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/components/libbrowsercomps.so: undefined symbol: NS_NewUnionEnumerator
[03:08] <nrbelex_ubuntu> Nth degree, I have read that page
[03:08] <klormexor> RandolphCarter: The gimp gives me a small thumb, Thatll do it. Thanks for this nifty splash thing.
[03:08] <Fujitsu> nrbelex_ubuntu, using Rhythmbox?
[03:08] <LinuxJones> donk__, but there are java applets so you can listen/watch from any computer
[03:08] <nbx909> !tell Hentai_Jeff|linu about skype
[03:08] <nrbelex_ubuntu> Totem
[03:08] <RandolphCarter> klormexor: np's :)
[03:08] <nrbelex_ubuntu> but Rhythmob didn't work either, fujitsu
[03:08] <wholepair> where do I get an ftp client like filezilla for ubuntu - keep in mind im linux challanged - ?gftp? - don't know how to compilesource yet
[03:08] <Hentai_Jeff|linu> thanks nbx
[03:08] <jani_> hanasaki, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats check this out
[03:08] <geeko_>  I am a noob , need small help on USB wireless config for Dapper on my desktop. Can some one please help?
[03:08] <abo> in my disk manager, I see all my disks but the ntfs ones are mounted in /tmp instead of /media, can I change that to make them accessible all the time?
[03:08] <nbx909> nrbelex_ubuntu, install xmms and try to play them with that
[03:09] <TR_WolF> why can i not install macromedia in fire fox??????????
[03:09] <Lemsip> Is it just me having complete nightmares moving from Breezy to Dapper?  My upgrade failed :(
[03:09] <TR_WolF> says it is not compadable?
[03:09] <abo> in my fstab they are not mentioned!
[03:09] <nbx909> !tell TR_WolF about flash
[03:09] <Fujitsu> wholepair, just use the normal file manager
[03:09] <abo> should I edit fstab manually to add my disks
[03:09] <abo> ?
[03:09] <hanasaki> k
[03:09] <Fujitsu> Lemsip, how did you try it
[03:09] <Aphostile> lol i am tempted just to reinstall ubuntu
[03:09] <klormexor> RandolphCarter: any where else i can find those splash files, url sites u recommend
[03:09] <Fujitsu> *?
[03:09] <nbx909> !tell Lemsip about upgrade
[03:09] <nrbelex_ubuntu> nbx909, ok but is there any way to fix all the other programs?
[03:09] <TR_WolF> and also i am in windows right now because i cant find an irc program?
[03:09] <TR_WolF> ????
[03:09] <madwalk-away> thaks Fujitsu  :)
[03:09] <Aphostile> but that's so windows-like
[03:09] <TR_WolF> for linux
[03:09] <TR_WolF> 64bit
[03:09] <Flannel> TR_WolF: dapper?
[03:09] <Fujitsu> TR_WolF, Gaim does it, or XChat.
[03:10] <TR_WolF> ?
[03:10] <nbx909> nrbelex_ubuntu, well if xmms plays the mp3s then it's not a codec problem and it's a problem with the other apps
[03:10] <AlwaysIcey> TR_Wolf, there should be IRC Clients built into the package.
[03:10] <Flannel> TR_WolF: are you on dapper or breezy?
[03:10] <TR_WolF> i dont know what u mean
[03:10] <Lemsip> Fujitsu: Used the upgrade manager.  That failed, so tried apt-get dist-upgrade, which also fails - I can paste you the error if you like, but it goes along the lines of "E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg exited unexpectedly"
[03:10] <AngryElf> what packages do I need to install to get from the server install CD to gnome?
[03:10] <Flannel> TR_WolF: which ubuntu did you install?
[03:10] <nbx909> TR_WolF, sudo apt-get install xchat
[03:10] <Aphostile> can somebody help me get ubuntu firefox running?
[03:10] <Fujitsu> Lemsip, /msg it to me.
[03:10] <TR_WolF> umm i dont know the amd64 one
[03:10] <nbx909> !tell Aphostile about firefox
[03:10] <Flannel> TR_WolF: right, 6.06 or 5.10?
[03:10] <Fujitsu> AngryElf, they're not on the server CD, but ubuntu-desktop will do it.
[03:11] <Dawid[Programmer> Hey every1
[03:11] <nbx909> everyone
[03:11] <wholepair> fujitsu, thanks
[03:11] <Fujitsu> Hi, Dawid[Programmer.
[03:11] <Aphostile> I have it installed
[03:11] <Dawid[Programmer> Is it true that the 6.06 dapper release includes the cool new xgl desktop stuff?
[03:11] <Fujitsu> Dawid[Programmer, please speak complete words.
[03:11] <Aphostile> it won't run
[03:11] <AngryElf> Fujitsu, I imagine that installs everything else from the desktop CD that I don't want......what if I just want gnome?
[03:11] <Aphostile> ./firefox-bin: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/components/libbrowsercomps.so: undefined symbol: NS_NewUnionEnumerator
[03:11] <TR_WolF> Ubuntu 6.06
[03:11] <nbx909> !tell Dawid[Programmer about xgl
[03:11] <Fujitsu> AngryElf, just install gnome, then.
[03:11] <Aphostile> i installed it with synaptic package manager
[03:11] <jani_> lampshade, its the dapper-backports main restricted universe multiverse ... try commenting it out on your /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:12] <TR_WolF> Ubuntu 6.06
[03:12] <Aphostile> im using breezey
[03:12] <nbx909> AngryElf, sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:12] <Flannel> TR_WolF: install xchat-gnome
[03:12] <eyedol> i can't play vcds with totem but i can play some dvds
[03:12] <Fujitsu> nbx909, he says he doesn't want all of it!
[03:12] <Flannel> TR_WolF: sud apt-get install xchat-gnome
[03:12] <nbx909> Aphostile, install dapper :P
[03:12] <TR_WolF> were do i get it
[03:12] <brandon_> does gnome ever recover spaw space? i'm at 500mb and counting
[03:12] <nbx909> Fujitsu, oh
[03:12] <Dawid[Programmer> Okay, the real question. What is the difference between the Server distro and the Desktop distro. besides that LAMP is pre-installed with the server?
[03:12] <AngryElf> Fujitsu, i'm running gnome on this dapper install and the package 'gnome' isn't installed....bunch of others are though
[03:12] <eyedol> please what do i do to be able to watch my vcds
[03:12] <nbx909> !tell Dawid[Programmer about server
[03:12] <TR_WolF> WHAT is this .......... sud apt-get install xchat-gnome
[03:12] <Aphostile> lol
[03:12] <Aphostile> might as well my system is this hosed
[03:13] <Fujitsu> sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome
[03:13] <Flannel> TR_WolF: on your ubuntu system, go to a terminal, and copy/paste/enter that.
[03:13] <nbx909> TR_WolF, xchat-gnome sucks
[03:13] <TR_WolF> what is that
[03:13] <Fujitsu> TR_WolF, it installs XChat-GNOME, an IRC client.
[03:13] <abo> is installing skype in Dapper same as Breezy? if I apply the same manual would it work?
[03:13] <Fujitsu> nbx909, it's not too bad.
[03:13] <Fujitsu> abo, generally.
[03:13] <TR_WolF> i am not in linux
[03:13] <nbx909> regular xchat > xchat gnome
[03:13] <Flannel> nbx909: don't.  xchat is in universe, let'sjust get him up and running.
[03:13] <TR_WolF> im in windows
[03:13] <Fujitsu> nbx909, yes.
[03:13] <nbx909> Flannel, heh
[03:13] <Dawid[Programmer> thanks (nbx909), so if i want a desktop environment but still use php/mysql it's best to install desktop and then install those server applications from there on?
[03:13] <Fujitsu> nbx909, but as Flannel says, XChat is in universe.
[03:14] <Fujitsu> Dawid[Programmer, yep,
[03:14] <Flannel> Dawid[Programmer: it doesn't really matter which order you install them.
[03:14] <nbx909> Dawid[Programmer, you could do it wthat way or you can install the server then do sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[03:14] <Flannel> Dawid[Programmer: if you get the server ISO, you can have LAMP installed for you.
[03:14] <geeko_>  I am a noob , need small help on USB wireless config for Dapper on my desktop. Can some one please help?
[03:14] <Dawid[Programmer> Okay so fundamentally the only difference between the two distros is the preinstalls and pre-configs
[03:14] <nbx909> Fujitsu, true, i find that stupid btw because it was in ubuntu until dapper
[03:14] <Flannel> Dawid[Programmer: during the installation of linux.  then you can get the desktop afterwards.
[03:15] <Rajuu> Yay! back on gui. :D
[03:15] <nbx909> Dawid[Programmer, server doesn't come with x
[03:15] <Dawid[Programmer> LAMP is Apache,Php,Mysql,and somethign else?
[03:15] <eyedol> when i play vcd with totem i get this error popped up Totem could not play 'vcd:///media/cdrom0'.
[03:15] <spiderworm> does anyone know how to make the window manager not eat Alt+mouse clicks?
[03:15] <Fujitsu> Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP/PERL
[03:15] <Flannel> Dawid[Programmer: Linux Apache Mysql PHP
[03:15] <Flannel> Fujitsu: does the Server LAMP option install perl as well?
[03:15] <Fujitsu> Flannel, no.
[03:15] <Fujitsu> But the acronym can stand for either.
[03:15] <Dawid[Programmer> i think for my purposes it's best to do desktop and then install those manually
[03:15] <Dawid[Programmer> thanks a lot guys!
[03:16] <Flannel> Dawid[Programmer: alright.  Ubotu's got a link ;)
[03:16] <Flannel> !tell Dawid[Programmer about lamp
[03:16] <init_6> Whenever I try to boot the new LiveCD it loads to the Desktop then after an undetermined amount of time it freezes the system.  This happens on both my laptop and desktop.  Any ideas?
[03:16] <Flannel> Dawid[Programmer: read his pm's url, it'll get you all setup
[03:16] <nbx909> init_6, install useing the alternateive cd
[03:16] <Lemsip> Hope someone can help - while doing a apt-get dist-upgrade to Dapper, it fails, and I get a load of stuff in syslog about "Buffer I/O error on device hda9" (which is /var) and "hda: dma_intr: status=0x51 { DriveReady SeekComplete Error }".  Can anyone help?  The drive seems absolutely fine otherwise...

[03:19] <supertanker> E: Couldn't find package xubuntu-desktop
[03:20] <Fujitsu> supertanker, please don't paste!
[03:20] <nbx909> Lemsip, the people on the forum tend to repond really quickly as well
[03:20] <Flannel> !tell supertanker about paste
[03:20] <Rajuu> What repository do I need installed for the nvidia-glx-legacy package?
[03:20] <WarriorMonk> Ubuntu is compatible as a thin-client working with Citrix?

[03:20] <Fujitsu> supertanker, sudo apt-get update

[03:20] <TR_WolF> srry
[03:20] <strong[007] > ok :)
[03:20] <TR_WolF> fustated
[03:20] <kevin> Just for people's information, I installed breezy badger (was that its name) on a old pc a few months ago and had to uninstall it due to its sluggishness,but i just installed dapper drake on my main computer now :)
[03:21] <TR_WolF> and why cant i play my game on linux
[03:21] <supertanker> but pon and poff are much better than the GNOME utilities....
[03:21] <nbx909> WarriorMonk, thin-clients don't have hard drives so no but there is a way to install it like windows-nt try asking it on the forums
[03:21] <Fujitsu> Great, kevin!
[03:21] <nbx909> TR_WolF, what is your game?
[03:21] <kevin> Fujitsu: :) but i'm still at square 1 :)
[03:21] <supertanker> even better than KPPP
[03:21] <WarriorMonk> Thx nbx
[03:21] <TR_WolF> and why do people say it is better when you cant do anything in it?
[03:21] <TR_WolF> counter-strike
[03:21] <Flannel> TR_WolF: If you install FF on windows, you can import your favorites, then save them and put them into FF on linux.
[03:21] <jani_> Rajuu, try commenting out the backport on /etc/apt/sources.list

[03:21] <TR_WolF> i have ff on windows too
[03:21] <Fujitsu> ubotu, tell WarriorMonk about ltsp
[03:21] <Rajuu> Fujitsu: So what EXACTLY do I need enabled in synaptic to view it? I dont even know why im using synaptic since its repository manager is really.. wierd
[03:21] <supertanker> because it is
[03:21] <supertanker> because Linux is free, and its better than windows
[03:21] <nbx909> TR_WolF, counterstrike is built for windows not linux ....
[03:22] <Fujitsu> Rajuu, how's it weird?
[03:22] <TR_WolF> why cant i install most of my softwear
[03:22] <nbx909> because linux doesn't have spyware, viruses, and...
[03:22] <Fujitsu> TR_WolF, because it's written for Microsoft Windows.
[03:22] <nbx909> TR_WolF, because it's built for WINDOWS not LINUX
[03:22] <NoUse> TR_WolF ask the people that wrote it
[03:22] <supertanker> um....is most of it made for windows?
[03:22] <nbx909> arg
[03:22] <TR_WolF> I will
[03:22] <nbx909> ><
[03:22] <Kr0ntab> hehe
[03:22] <Flannel> TR_WolF: you can run a bit of it with WINE,
[03:22] <Fujitsu> AlwaysIcey, please use a PM if you want to ask ubotu something unrelated.
[03:22] <TR_WolF> what about photoshop??
[03:22] <supertanker> Linux is different. Even if ,say, MSOFFICE isn;t supported, there are HUDREDS of free alternatives
[03:23] <nbx909> !tell TR_WolF about gimp
[03:23] <nbx909> !tell TR_WolF about wine
[03:23] <supertanker> such as OpenOffice
[03:23] <supertanker> GIMP
[03:23] <Fujitsu> TR_WolF, The GIMP is a good replacement for Photoshop.
[03:23] <supertanker> is the linux alternative
[03:23] <Rajuu> Fujitsu: Well what is "restricted" ? I have about 4 repositories that have "Copyright Restricted" on them?
[03:23] <twobitsprite> I'm trying to compile a qt program and configure complains about qt headers... what packages do I need?
[03:23] <klormexor> yeah and theyre all FREE.. EFF AARR EEEE EEEE
[03:23] <supertanker> whats wine?
[03:23] <klormexor> :P
[03:23] <nosklo> TR_WolF: you must get games made for linux, there are good ones
[03:23] <AlwaysIcey> Sorry.  I'll do that from now on.  I just tried one, but it didn't work right.  So, I'll do it the old fashioned way.
[03:23] <noobubuntu> how do i erase the MBR?
[03:23] <nbx909> !tell supertanker about wine
[03:23] <SurfnKid> dangit this thing changes my name
[03:23] <nbx909> noobubuntu, why do you want to do that?
[03:23] <jani_> TR_WolF, photoshop 7 is supported by crossover office 5.x
[03:23] <supertanker> In windows: fdisk -mbr
[03:23] <detectiveinspekt> the DNS setting always resets to my router ip, is there a way to stop this?
[03:24] <jani_> but that's a different story :)
[03:24] <nbx909> jani_, crossvoer office costs $$
[03:24] <Fujitsu> detectiveinspekt, your router is obviously telling it to do that.
[03:24] <noobubuntu> nbx909, i need to delete it to install hp quickplay software before installing ubuntu.
[03:24] <edvinasMD5> if i want to see movies on linux, what do i need?
[03:24] <MaKkY> i need help installing a .tar.gz
[03:24] <problems> Fujitsu: also, if you're used to the photoshop interface, there's a plugin that changes GIMP to look and act more like Photoshop
[03:24] <MaKkY> can someone help?
[03:24] <TR_WolF> i have photoshop cs
[03:24] <nbx909> noobubuntu, why do you need the hp software?
[03:24] <Fujitsu> edvinasMD5, depends on the format.
[03:24] <Fujitsu> ubotu, tell edvinasMD5 about restricted
[03:24] <jani_> otherwise... GIMP is his best alternative
[03:24] <Rajuu> Fujitsu: Well what is "restricted" ? I have about 4 repositories that have "Copyright Restricted" on them?
[03:24] <Flannel> anyone know of something in the repos regarding sending a video (doesn't need to be live) (not audio) to icecast/shoutcast?
[03:24] <supertanker> apt get still says it can;t find xubuntu-desktop
[03:24] <twobitsprite> is this a faq? is there a "common things configure needs" faq somewhere that I'm missing? configure is complaining that it can't find qt headers...
[03:24] <Rajuu> in synaptic
[03:25] <MaKkY> problems: where can i get that plug-in from?
[03:25] <Fujitsu> Rajuu, one of them should be the `restricted' repository...
[03:25] <edvinasMD5> for example .avi
[03:25] <Fujitsu> supertanker, apt-get update?
[03:25] <problems> MaKkY: I'll have to look it up, give me a second
[03:25] <Fujitsu> supertanker, Ubuntu 5.10, or 6.06?
[03:25] <MaKkY> ok
[03:25] <jason_> hey, perhaps silly question. BUT does anyone know how to rearrange module loading order in dapper? basically i have two sound cards and need one to be the default.
[03:25] <noobubuntu> nbx909, quickplay is a linux hp software that allow u to play cds and dvds without have to start the operational system. it is supposed to save power.
[03:25] <Rajuu> Seems they ALL point to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu for some reason :/
[03:25] <Rajuu> Fujitsu: Seems they ALL point to http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu for some reason :/
[03:25] <nbx909> noobubuntu, ah wow thats nice
[03:25] <MaKkY> problems: also do you know how to install .tar.gz files?
[03:25] <supertanker> 5.10
[03:25] <noobubuntu> does anybody here have quickplay working with ubuntu?
[03:25] <Fujitsu> Rajuu, that's right.
[03:25] <supertanker> also did apt-get update
[03:25] <jani_> MaKkY, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats check it out
[03:26] <Fujitsu> supertanker, you need to have the `universe' repository activated.
[03:26] <nbx909> noobubuntu, try googleing it

[03:26] <noobubuntu> does anybody here knows how to erase the MBR?
[03:26] <Fujitsu> noobubuntu, why do you need to?
[03:26] <problems> noobubuntu: are you in windows or linux?

[03:28] <noobubuntu> Fujitsu: i just would like to know how to erase the MBR
[03:28] <Fujitsu> noobubuntu, but why do you want to clear the MBR? It will make your system unbootable!
[03:28] <Fujitsu> noobubuntu, there is no easy, safe way.
[03:28] <noobubuntu> Fujitsu: yes thats what i want
[03:28] <detectiveinspekt> Fujitsu, is it something to do with dhcp>
[03:28] <detectiveinspekt> ?
[03:29] <Fujitsu> You want to not be able to boot your system... OK, then...
[03:29] <Fujitsu> detectiveinspekt, yes.
[03:29] <Cornellius> mmm
[03:29] <Fujitsu> detectiveinspekt, your router's DHCP server is saying it should use your router as a DNS server.
[03:29] <Cornellius> So I donwload Xfce for Apt
[03:29] <Hamppari> hello
[03:29] <Rajuu> Fujitsu: yeah ok.. its open, what am I looking for.

[03:31] <maddy> when booting it says it does not exist :(
[03:31] <Rajuu> noobubuntu: I believe its fdisk -mbr even in linux
[03:31] <varsendaggr> noobubuntu, never erase the mbr
[03:31] <rixth> Fujitsu, hey hey, that's not appropriate =(
[03:31] <varsendaggr> ever
[03:31] <SurfnKid> Fujitsu: hehe come on mate the guy is happy ;)
 for the entire system ??
[03:31] <Anusien> Hamppari: I want to make a Video-DVD not a data DVD
[03:31] <Cornellius> Fujitsu: Yeah, but doing that for KDE change all my pics at start-up and at the login page for KDE pictures. I mean, I'm not really a big Xfce fan. Any way to bypass that ?
[03:31] <Fujitsu> Rajuu, you're running Ubuntu 5.04... What package do you want?
[03:31] <noobubuntu> varsendaggr: just tell me how to do it please!
[03:31] <MaKkY> OK... NVM then

[03:31] <Rajuu> nvidia-glx-legacy
[03:32] <Fujitsu> Cornellius, you can reverse those changes fairly easily.
[03:32] <Cornellius> I know it looks like a stupid question :)
[03:32] <MaKkY> problems: I have to go; if you ever find the link PM it to me... THANKS
[03:32] <problems> MaKkY: if it's a source file, then you can usually extract it then type ./make install
[03:32] <Fujitsu> !info nvidia-glx-legacy hoary
[03:32] <varsendaggr> i think it is fdisk -mbr
[03:32] <Cornellius> Fujitsu: You mean by un-installing Xubuntu ?
[03:32] <problems> MaKkY: will do
[03:32] <Rajuu> aw no info for meee
[03:32] <Rajuu> lol
[03:32] <Fujitsu> Cornellius, no, by running a couple of commands to fix the config.
[03:32] <TR_WolF> ok so now what file do i need to save in order to get my ff bookmarks in linux
[03:32] <Fujitsu> Rajuu, there is no nvidia-glx-legacy in 5.05.
[03:32] <Fujitsu> *5.04
[03:32] <TR_WolF> ok so now what file do i need to save in order to get my ff bookmarks in linux
[03:33] <Anusien> fujitsu: The files are XViD encoded .avis.  Any idea?
[03:33] <Fujitsu> TR_WolF, once is enough.
[03:33] <Anusien> TR_WolF: Manage Bookmarks->Export Bookmarks
[03:33] <Fujitsu> Anusien, I'm not a DVD-burning person.
[03:33] <Rajuu> Fujitsu: How does THAT work? I mean uh.. Why not? heh
[03:33] <Cornellius> Fujitsu: COuld you give me those commands, or take me to a wiki explaning how to ?
[03:33] <Rajuu> Seems retarded
[03:33] <MaKkY> problems: thank you... now i gtg
[03:33] <Fujitsu> Rajuu, 5.04 is rather old.
[03:33] <Cornellius> 5.04 is Hoary right ?
[03:33] <Rajuu> rather old, yes.. but all the more reason to include legacy drivers I should imagine
[03:33] <Fujitsu> Cornellius, sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash

[03:34] <Weirdbro> The instructions to fix Flash sound in firefox in Restricted formats worked, but then firefox crashed
[03:34] <Anusien> I guess we go to the backup plan, which is try to get TVOut working
[03:34] <Fujitsu> Cornellius, and System->Administration->Login Screen.
[03:34] <Weirdbro> any help?
[03:34] <Cornellius> Fujitsu: THanks

[03:34] <TR_WolF> export?? were
[03:34] <Anusien> lordapophis: You running Dapper?

[03:34] <Rajuu> guess il just find nvidia-glx-legacy elsewhere and install using dpkg eh
[03:34] <MTecknology> How do I use abcde to encode my CD in MP3 and write the ID3 tag??
[03:34] <Anusien> lordapophis: How did you try to install it?
[03:34] <Fujitsu> TR_WolF, in Bookmarks->Manage Bookmarks...->File->Export...
[03:34] <SurfnKid> whats the 'ls' argument to look within directories
[03:34] <Anusien> lordapophis: and laptop or desktop?
[03:34] <Hamppari> My head fell on to the keyboard again! :D
[03:34] <menisk> wats a good mail server for ubuntu when i cant use postfix
[03:35] <Fujitsu> Rajuu, that is unlikely to work.
[03:35] <lordapophis> the cutter method
[03:35] <Fujitsu> menisk, postfix.
[03:35] <Rajuu> Fujitsu: howsat?
[03:35] <TR_WolF> i did it made an html gile? is that right
[03:35] <TR_WolF> file*
[03:35] <Weirdbro> The instructions to fix Flash sound in firefox in Restricted formats worked, but then firefox crashed
[03:35] <Weirdbro> any ideas?
[03:35] <Fujitsu> Rajuu, it'll depend on lots of newer packages. Your best bet is to upgrade to Breezy, then Dapper.
[03:35] <menisk> fujtsu: postfix wont work for some reason
[03:35] <Fujitsu> Weirdbro, please wait a little longer between asking.
[03:35] <Fujitsu> menisk, what error?
[03:35] <TR_WolF> i did it made an html gile? is that right
[03:35] <halibut> every time I boot up, eth0 (wireless) is brought up, but doesn't work,  I have to  sudo ifdown eth0; sudo ifup eth0, how can I automate this?
[03:35] <Fujitsu> TR_WolF, yep.
[03:36] <Anusien> lordapophis: try this link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx?action=show&redirect=WifiDocs%2FDriver%2FBroadcom43xx  If you're still having problems on a laptop, don't forget to try toggling the radio button
[03:36] <nf4> I am downloading the upgrades to 6.06 right now
[03:36] <Rajuu> !upgrade breezy
[03:36] <ubotu> Rajuu: NO SPEAKE ENLISH! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[03:36] <problems> MaKkY: got it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GIMPshop
[03:36] <Cornellius> Well, I tried Gnome, KDE, Xfce, Flux/Black box, Enlightement
[03:36] <TR_WolF> so save that to a disc or a drive then star linux and replace the 1 in there?
[03:36] <Fujitsu> ubotu, tell Rajuu about upgrade
[03:36] <menisk> fujitsu, it wont configure, maybe im doin it wrong
[03:36] <Cornellius> Any other good WM out there ?
[03:36] <Fujitsu> menisk, what error?
[03:36] <MrObvious> Yay
[03:36] <MrObvious> I'm happy
[03:36] <varsendaggr> afterstep
[03:36] <m0biu5> my CPU usage in 6.06 is much more jumpy than any previous version - any idea why this could be? i've updated to 686 kernel..
[03:36] <MrObvious> Got wireless workign
[03:36] <Fujitsu> Great, MrObvious.
[03:36] <varsendaggr> Cornellius, ^^
[03:36] <SurfnKid> MrObvious: hooray
[03:37] <MrObvious> Indeed :D
[03:37] <Anusien> Anyone with experience configuring TVOut using the Nvidia cards?
[03:37] <Cornellius> varsendaggr: Yes ?
[03:37] <Fujitsu> m0biu5, the 686 kernel does seem to be more CPU-hungry...
[03:37] <menisk> it just says that its an unkown command, fujitsu
[03:37] <menisk> fujitsu, im doin it wrong
[03:37] <Fujitsu> menisk, what is an unknown command?
[03:37] <m0biu5> Fujitsu, it jumps from 0 to up to around 80.. which is nuts - breezy jumped up to around 5..
[03:37] <problems> does ubotu or anyone else have a link to getting dual monitors to work?
[03:37] <rpedro_> I don't know if it's the same think noobubuntu wants, but would like to know the command for restoring the default mbr
[03:37] <menisk> postfix
[03:37] <varsendaggr> afterstep is another good wm    i like to use enli   when i am in a creative mood and flux when i want to get stuff done
[03:37] <Ophiocus> i am having problem with total loss of connection at random over a wired lan, what checks could i do to try to find out what it is?
[03:37] <Hentai_Jeff|linu> is there anyway to move my instalation files from one hard drive to another?
[03:38] <varsendaggr> afterstep is pretty neet
[03:38] <menisk> fujitsu, postfix -c
[03:38] <rixth> Why does sudo mount ixray:/data /sandi-data/ hang? If I port scan the host ixray, I see that port 2049 is indeed open.
[03:38] <Anusien> problems: what graphics card?
[03:38] <dream_boy> I installed xgl.. now I have problmes... I want to disable it.. how do i do it??
[03:38] <Fujitsu> menisk, have you installed postfix?
[03:38] <Anusien> m0biu5: how are you mointoring that?
[03:38] <problems> Anusien: nvidia
[03:38] <menisk> fujitsu, yes
[03:38] <Anusien> problems: http://download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86_64/1.0-8762/README/appendix-g.html
[03:38] <Fujitsu> menisk, I don't think you should be using postfix -c to configure.
[03:38] <MrObvious> Can someone point me into the right direction to adding repos?
[03:39] <Fujitsu> ubotu, tell menisk about postfix
[03:39] <MrObvious> I'm on KUbuntu if that makes a difference.
[03:39] <Fujitsu> ubotu, tell MrObvious about repos
[03:39] <noobubuntu> could anybody tell me how to erase the MBR?
[03:39] <MrObvious> Fujitsu: Thanks :)
[03:39] <menisk> !postfix
[03:39] <ubotu> postfix is probably the default Mail Transfer Agent (MTA) for Ubuntu. Read more about setting it up here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Postfix or here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PostfixBasicSetupHowto
[03:39] <mikeazorin> noobubuntu: do you have a windows floppy?
[03:39] <SurfnKid> is there a search files feature in ubuntu
[03:39] <Fujitsu> menisk, I told ubotu to tell you that.
[03:39] <Fujitsu> SurfnKid, yes, in 6.06.
[03:39] <dream_boy> I installed xgl.. now I have problmes... I want to disable it.. how do i do it??
[03:40] <menisk> thanks
[03:40] <Rajuu> So I take it that Dapper is alot faster than hoary in general?
[03:40] <LDS_Jedi> Greetings
[03:40] <rpedro_> dream_boy: depends on which howto you used
[03:40] <caner> slm
[03:40] <LDS_Jedi> I am using Breezy... should I upgrade to Dapper?
[03:40] <dream_boy> rpedro used instruction from ubuntu forums
[03:40] <mikeazorin> noobubuntu: boot from a windows floppy, and then run "format /mbr"
[03:41] <problems> noobubuntu: if you want to restore the windows mbr, then all you have to do is insert your xp disc and select repair and then type fixmbr
[03:41] <caner> there s nothing like Dapper Drake
[03:41] <SurfnKid> Fujitsu: can ls find an extension thru folders?
[03:41] <LDS_Jedi> how would I upgrade?
[03:41] <Fujitsu> SurfnKid, man find.
[03:41] <rixth> Why does sudo mount ixray:/data /sandi-data/ hang? If I port scan the host ixray, I see that port 2049 is indeed open. If I try to access an export I know doesn't exist, I get an error so I know the server is running. What is wrong?
[03:42] <Fujitsu> ubotu, tell LDS_Jedi about upgrade
[03:42] <Cornellius> Fujitsu: sudo dpkg-reconfigure usplash did nothing
[03:42] <SurfnKid> thx
[03:42] <Fujitsu> Cornellius, strange.
[03:42] <rpedro_> dream_boy: just follow through the steps the howto said to install xgl and undo them
[03:42] <MrObvious> Since I'm using KUbuntu, I don't have the Synaptic Package Manager in my Menu. How do I get to it to add repositories?
[03:42] <rixth> mount: special device ixray:/data does not exist. Do I need some software to use nfs?
[03:42] <Anusien> Every time I want to give up, I'm reminded that an infinite number of monkeys typing on an infinite number of keyboards can get X to work.  And if they can do it, then so can I
[03:43] <kevin> Where would one find the best guide for installing mp3 and similar codecs
[03:43] <Fujitsu> MrObvious, use Adept.
[03:43] <Flannel> !tell kevin about mp3
[03:43] <kevin> the wiki continues to confuse me
[03:43] <kevin> :)
[03:43] <supertanker> what was the 'first' desktop enviornment?
[03:43] <johnnyrusso> my video wont work off the cd. all i get is the prompt, whats the command for the video card drivers?

[03:44] <Hajuu> johnnyrusso: heh not quite that simple
[03:44] <meta-ridley> i.e. ugly
[03:44] <Hajuu> johnnyrusso: If your video doesnt work.. then its most likely your card isnt supported
[03:44] <henri_ohh_the_be> u might be able to get drivers
[03:44] <Hajuu> God. Just apt-get update 'ing takes forever
[03:44] <Hajuu> cant WAIT to update heh
[03:45] <sexualpotatoes> johnnyrusso: do you have ati?
[03:45] <Hajuu> henri_ohh_the_be: not with the livecd really
[03:45] <pooty> i ran easy ubuntu, restarted, and now have no sound card recognized.  Any tips to re-enable sound?

[03:46] <Ophiocus> Hajuu: always one track minded :P
[03:46] <rixth> Why does sudo mount ixray:/data /sandi-data/ hang? If I port scan the host ixray, I see that port 2049 is indeed open. If I try to access an export I know doesn't exist, I get an error so I know the server is running.  I hit Cntl^Alt^Backspace and it gives me a login screen ... and then I get the black screen again???
[03:47] <Ophiocus> beware they have code of conduct here :)
[03:47] <Anusien> When I connect a new monitor and then enable it in xorg.conf, do I need to reboot the entire computer, or just X?
[03:47] <rpedro_> halibut: http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?appId=1094
[03:47] <DShepherd>  /j #gaim
[03:47] <rixth> AngryElf, just X

[03:47] <rixth> Anusien, rather
[03:47] <Anusien> rixth: and I need to connect the monitor and then reboot X, rather than the other way around?
[03:48] <luis_> can anyone recommend me a MMORPG that runs on ubuntu, except planetshift
[03:48] <supertanker> so is xubuntu desktop in the multiverse or the universe?
[03:48] <rixth> Anusien, it really doesn't matter.
[03:48] <Xymor> abo: for inputing non latin languages
[03:48] <pooty> luis_: CIty of Heroes runs very VERY well.
[03:48] <rixth> Anusien, are you trying to make a dual-screen setup?
[03:48] <Anusien> okay, I expect I'll be back in 5 minutes with more questions
[03:48] <abo> Xymor, can I know if I'm using that?
[03:48] <problems> luis_: I'm pretty sure World of Warcraft runs in wine, too, if you're in to that
[03:48] <halibut> rpedro_, thanks
[03:48] <Anusien> rixth: I'd like to.  Working via TV-Out.  I'm on 64-bit Dapper, with Nvidia graphics cards and I'm trying to follow their instructions in the README, but I have not been having tremendous success
[03:49] <maddy> anyone rund warsow clit on linux?
[03:49] <luis_> problems, well actually I was looking for something open, or free
[03:49] <AlwaysIcey> Speaking of games, how about games like Battlefield 2 and Wolfenstein?  Has anyone tried those at all?
[03:49] <pooty> Anyone have some tips regarding installation of a soundcard?
[03:49] <supertanker> so...will anything run one Wine prettymuch?
[03:49] <rixth> !tell ajnewbold about wireless
[03:49] <Anusien> luis_: free MMORPGs are dramatically worse than non-free
[03:49] <Xymor> abo there should be a grey keyboard by the clock, left-click it and scim will open
[03:49] <Fujitsu> !wineapp
[03:49] <ubotu> For specific details to get an application to run under Wine, consult Wine's application db:  http://appdb.winehq.org
[03:49] <Flannel> supertanker: no.  in theory yes, but reality, no.
[03:49] <luis_> Anusien, yes I'm aware...
[03:49] <Anusien> Which reminds me, is 64-bit Linux & Wine still not coming together well?
[03:50] <CaBlGuY> can I get some help with Nvidia card and OpenGL issues please..
[03:50] <dipnlik> luis_: found this link today: http://mandrivausers.org/index.php?showtopic=25107
[03:50] <Fujitsu> !justask
[03:50] <ubotu> - Ask your question and we'll try to answer it.
[03:50] <Viper12> luis_:  Eve-Online runs very well via cedega.
[03:50] <dipnlik> luis_: at least there are names there :)
[03:50] <noonex> i was using dapper during the beta, do i need to update my sources.list to get the current dapper updates?
[03:51] <Flannel> noonex: nope.
[03:51] <luis_> dipnlik, hehe nice! is that free?
[03:51] <noonex> Flannel: excellent, i just haven't seen an update in a day or so and it was scaring me :)
[03:51] <CaBlGuY> ok, I'm having openGL issues with my Nvidia Geforce FX 5500 card and I just need to make sure what drivers are posed to be installed and how to go about activating the glx once installed..
[03:51] <Anusien> Is Wine still non-functional on 64-bit dapper?
[03:51] <dipnlik> luis_: all free
[03:52] <Anusien> CaBlGuy: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper

[03:52] <rpedro_> halibut: you may want to check also  http://ubuntustudio.com/
[03:52] <Fujitsu> acm, Ubuntu Desktop includes X.

[03:52] <CaBlGuY> Anusien:  ummmm, yea, I've already read all the posts, and Wiki.. etc.. I just need someone to walk me through  it..
[03:52] <CaBlGuY> :/
[03:52] <Flannel> noonex: since june1, there haven't been updates that I'm aware of.
[03:52] <acm> Fujitsu: is X an option on server, or do i have to do without?
[03:53] <Fujitsu> acm, you can install X later if you wish.
[03:53] <halibut> rpedro_, wow thanks!
[03:53] <Anusien> CaBlGuy: start with method1 and just start following the instructions
[03:53] <nf4> I think that i need to buy unbuntu some more bandwidth or something

[03:53] <Anusien> lordapophis: I have bcm43xx workign on a compaq laptop, but not that exact model
[03:54] <lordapophis> which .sys files did u use
[03:54] <lordapophis> when u did the cutter
[03:54] <supertanker> how come Mysql says it can't find a 'curses/termcap' libary when I try to compile? what is it?
[03:54] <Burgundavia> nf4: we are doing well. Mandriva and Suse has their servers go down upon their last release
[03:54] <dipnlik> right now, if i download a [ kx] ubuntu cd, how is the installation process? i heard something about a live cd that can be used for install, is the installation the same as before?
[03:54] <rpedro_> halibut: np ;-)
[03:54] <nf4> oh really
[03:55] <nf4> suse is what like 10cds
[03:55] <maddy> is it easy to update from hoary to dapper?
[03:55] <yipe> someone in here is named chii:D
[03:55] <yipe> CUTE!
[03:55] <Anusien> maddy: yes
[03:55] <Anusien> lordapophis: did you follow the instructions I sent you?
[03:55] <Burgundavia> maddy: yes, but you need to do it via breezy first
[03:55] <lordapophis> yes
[03:55] <rixth> Why does sudo mount ixray:/data /sandi-data/ hang? If I port scan the host ixray, I see that port 2049 is indeed open. If I try to access an export I know doesn't exist, I get an error so I know the server is running. What is wrong?
[03:55] <lordapophis> this will make the 30th try
[03:55] <Anusien> lordapophis: i used the file they linked to
[03:55] <nf4> I heard that upgradeing has the tendacy to lose some data
[03:55] <maddy> thanx
[03:55] <nf4> you might need to reinstall some things
[03:55] <Burgundavia> nf4: no, it doesn't
[03:56] <Fujitsu> nf4, that's not data. That's applications.
[03:56] <yipe> I <3 Chobits
[03:56] <lordapophis> the only ones they mentiond were the expeirmental ones
[03:56] <nf4> isnt it all 1's and 0's
[03:56] <sexualpotatoes> can you get 3d accel in dapper with ati?
[03:56] <Fujitsu> nf4, the upgrade won't touch your data.
[03:56] <Anusien> lordapophis: are you using ndiswrapper or the kernel driver?
[03:56] <Fujitsu> ubotu, tell sexualpotatoes about ati
[03:56] <yipe> sfen!
[03:56] <lordapophis> driver
[03:56] <basbryan> i had to delete my original user from the install, and now I can't sudo...  how can I get sudo back?
[03:57] <penguinwhoflew> what's the command to see if 3d acceleration is working?
[03:57] <lordapophis> i removed ndiswrapper
[03:57] <sfen> sup dawgz
[03:57] <ydnar> guys, this is awesome!
[03:57] <yipe> ask your question in here and they'll answer sfen
[03:57] <Fujitsu> penguinwhoflew, glxinfo | grep direct
[03:57] <nf4> whats data then i thought any thing that was stored was data
[03:57] <ydnar> i've had so many problems with ubuntu in the past with my specific card
[03:57] <ydnar> and now it seems to work out of the box
[03:57] <ydnar> woot
[03:57] <sexualpotatoes> what card?
[03:57] <Fujitsu> nf4 some definitions are different.
[03:57] <ydnar> netgear ma521
[03:57] <penguinwhoflew> Fujitsu: thanks. and, damnit, it's off... but it was on like an hour ago...
[03:58] <sexualpotatoes> nf4: it only touches system data me thinks
[03:58] <AlwaysIcey> basbryan, how do you log in, if you deleted your original user?
[03:58] <Anusien> lordapophis: the expeirmental drivers work
[03:58] <yipe> sfen you there?
[03:58] <nf4> drapper RC didnt let me install both nvidia settings and nvidia drivers
[03:58] <nf4> it was one or the other
[03:59] <basbryan> AlwaysIcey:   i was recovering from some kind of error with a livecd.  i deleted that id, then created another before I rebooted
[03:59] <sfen> yeah I have to do something quick
[03:59] <yipe> okay
[03:59] <Fujitsu> nf4, nvidia-settings is unnecessary.
[03:59] <maddy> installed vlc it says my dsp is busy
[03:59] <maddy> any ideas?
[03:59] <nf4> it also had no system tools dropdown
[03:59] <yipe> sfen: well this is where you ask questions and stuff, this is the ubuntu-central:D
[03:59] <nf4> witch botherd me
[03:59] <AlwaysIcey> basbryan:  Ok, unless I'm mistaken, you should just need to use the password for the new ID for sudo.
[03:59] <nf4> since it is what I use most
[03:59] <lordapophis> the firmware listed on the site is not compatible with 4138
[03:59] <basbryan> doesn't work
[04:00] <sexualpotatoes> anyone here play cod2 on linux?
[04:00] <basbryan> AlwaysIcey: doesn't work
[04:00] <AlwaysIcey> What error does it give you?
[04:00] <nf4> I play worms
[04:00] <lordapophis> says that when i do a dpkg-i
[04:00] <basbryan> AlwaysIcey: no error...  nothing happens at all, that I can see
[04:00] <basbryan> AlwaysIcey: let me check dmesg
[04:00] <sexualpotatoes> nf4: cod2 is slightly more complex
[04:00] <Hajuu> Question. I dont want to update to breezy cause its 577MB (!!!) which is insane on dialup...  Can anyone think of a way around this?
[04:00] <ryanmooney> any ppc users here??
[04:00] <sfen> Hmm would games work on ubuntu Ill use simcity 3000 as an example woudld that work?
[04:00] <RPG_> are there any stabillity problems with the AMD64 build (being 64 bits) as opposed to the x86 build? i have an AMD processor that can handle both arch's
[04:01] <RPG_> last tiem i tried FC4 64 bit edition, there was problem after problem
[04:01] <basbryan> AlwaysIcey: nothing related in dmesg
[04:01] <nf4> you can buy the cd for 199
[04:01] <nf4> $1.99
[04:01] <Doomhammer> i've downloaded a theme for KDE in a .tar.gz, how can I add it to kde's list of "styles" ?
[04:01] <basbryan> AlwaysIcey: isn't the sudo passwd based on uid 1001?
[04:01] <slavik> need help figuring out a kernel panic ...
[04:01] <sexualpotatoes> sfen: some games you can but you need to use wine or something similar
[04:01] <Fujitsu> basbryan, whoever you're logged on as.
[04:02] <eugman> slavik, give it a paper bag and try to calm it down. Maybe that'll work.
[04:02] <slavik> happens after booting and when in gnome
[04:02] <basbryan> AlwaysIcey: u sure?
[04:02] <Hajuu> Question. I dont want to update to breezy cause its 577MB (!!!) which is insane on dialup...  Can anyone think of a way around this?
[04:02] <ryanmooney> can any one help me get wireless working from the live cd
[04:02] <slavik> eugman: it was all working fine earlier in the day
[04:02] <eugman> <------ Knows nothing.
[04:02] <sfen> oh Im debating whether  I should switch to Ubuntu but I need my games so Im not too sure
[04:02] <RPG_> sfen: what games?
[04:02] <basbryan> AlwaysIcey: i read the dapper book today, and i'm pretty sure it said different
[04:02] <AlwaysIcey> I'm pretty sure Fujitsu is right.
[04:03] <Fujitsu> AlwaysIcey, I am.
[04:03] <robert2513> hi folks, installing networkmanager (from source) but gives the following error: configure: error: Package requirements (hal >= 0.5.0) were not met   - when i go into synaptic, hal version 0.5.7 is installed - what should i do?
[04:03] <ryanmooney> sfen, dual boot
[04:03] <livevil> Does someone know a program like defrag (windows) for ubuntu?Does this kind of program is necessary in this os?
[04:03] <Hajuu> If im using the breezy repositories, It will download the package and upgrade what I need, but it also wants to download the new "linux-kernal-headers" package.. which im guessing is a bad idea to run another dist's version of those.. Correct?
[04:03] <sfen> Sim city 3000 battlefeild (not the newer ones) the sims the sims 2
[04:03] <sfen> Not any high end games really
[04:03] <Fujitsu> robert2513, why from source?
[04:03] <RPG_> sfen: good luck getting those to run in linux :)
[04:03] <NoUse> livevil linux doesn't need to be defraged
[04:03] <basbryan> here's a 2 line paste of me trying sudo -i
[04:03] <basbryan> bryan@ubuntu:~$ sudo -i
[04:03] <basbryan> bryan@ubuntu:~$
[04:03] <basbryan> nothing at all
[04:04] <Fujitsu> basbryan, that's an odd problem.
[04:04] <halibut> each time I boot up, my wireless (eth0) is up but does not work, I have to run sudo ifup eth0; sudo ifdown eth0; then it works,  how can I run this automatically on startup??
[04:04] <halibut> oops, the other way around
[04:04] <AlwaysIcey> You want to use su then basbryan
[04:04] <Anusien> I need to set up a second screen entry in Xorg.conf to use twinview don't I?
[04:04] <AlwaysIcey> here's a link about using sudo.  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo?action=show&redirect=UsingSudo
[04:04] <sfen> Okay later guys
[04:05] <nf4> sudo is better than root
[04:05] <nf4> i like this sudo thing
[04:05] <robert2513> Fujitsu: i did a search in the repo and it wasn't found
[04:05] <AlwaysIcey> I agree.  It's different though.  Especially if you're trying to install things through the desktop.
[04:05] <Hajuu> Question. I dont want to update to breezy cause its 577MB (!!!) which is insane on dialup...  Can anyone think of a way around this?
[04:06] <Hajuu> If im using the breezy repositories, It will download the package and upgrade what I need, but it also wants to download the new "linux-kernal-headers" package.. which im guessing is a bad idea to run another dist's version of those.. Correct?
[04:06] <ryanmooney> ok is there a good resource any one can point out to get wireless up on the live cd
[04:06] <eugman> Livevil, Assuming you have a swap partition , which you should, most of the need for defragmenting is gone since using the harddrive for memory is the biggest cause.
[04:06] <slavik> ryanmooney: what card?
[04:06] <Anusien> If I'm trying to set up twinview, do I need a second Screen and Monitor entry in xorg.conf?
[04:07] <kevin> thanks chapium
[04:07] <ryanmooney> airport 1
[04:07] <ryanmooney> not extreme

[04:07] <Kimbaroth> Quick question...
[04:07] <slavik> !kernelpanic
[04:07] <ubotu> hmm... kernelpanic is If you have removed all working kernels and are a bit stuck.... Grab a livedvd, boot to it, mount your old /, chroot to it, add dvd to sources.list and apt-get install another :)
[04:08] <Kimbaroth> Can I burn the Ubuntu CD Version on a DVD???
[04:08] <slavik> Kimbaroth: I would assume so
[04:08] <[CC] Impsy> hi
[04:08] <ryanmooney> or just ant card would be a good place to start <general>
[04:08] <Doomhammer> where in the control center is the kde theme manager ???
[04:08] <[CC] Impsy> can anyone help me get my sound working?

[04:08] <slavik> Kimbaroth: it should
[04:09] <Babbelaar> !linux
[04:09] <Kimbaroth> Nope, I dont have any cd left xD
[04:09] <ubotu> [linux]  the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Ubuntu is only one version of the GNU/Linux operating system. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux
[04:09] <Kimbaroth> Just DVDs
[04:09] <zexr0> Kimbaroth, yes you can
[04:09] <zexr0> you can burn cdISO on a DVD
[04:09] <IcemanV9> Kimbaroth: ah.
[04:09] <slavik> Kimbaroth: you are a poor person without money? :P
[04:09] <AlwaysIcey> [CC] limpsy, what sound card do you have?
[04:09] <slavik> anyone know the difference between the 15-21 and the 15-23 kernels?
[04:10] <AlwaysIcey> Sorry [CC] Impsy *
[04:10] <Kimbaroth> yes, I am
[04:10] <Intangir> what port does the vnc server thats built into ubuntu use?
[04:10] <rpedro_> Hajuu: :  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=75074 , maybe try method 3, it's for breezy though
[04:10] <Intangir> or how do i see what ports are open?
[04:10] <slavik> Intangir: nmap :)
[04:10] <AlwaysIcey> Intangir, netstat will show you also.

[04:10] <Ricky28269>  gah sorry mistype
[04:11] <GaiaX11> I have tried to open this file, but i can't (ProjetoSemin?rioMV2.doc). Any help?
[04:11] <AlwaysIcey> [CC] Impsy, what sound card are you trying to use?
[04:11] <Anusien> Is there a walk-through for configuring TwinView somewhere?
[04:11] <Ricky28269> Is there someone that could take some time and help me in private message with a huge problem: my C:\ (winxp home) is seriously screwed and i want to recover the data on it...
[04:11] <[CC] Impsy> AlwaysIcey, i think its soundblaster
[04:11] <rpedro_> Hajuu: sry, method 2
[04:11] <GaiaX11> The "?" is an accented letter.
[04:11] <[CC] Impsy> AlwaysIcey, i removed windows 98 totally and i cant remember
[04:11] <Intangir> do you think 5900 is the port vnc uses?
[04:11] <Intangir> i think its 5900...
[04:11] <Ricky28269> I've got a ubuntu 6.06 livecd to fix it with but idk any linux commands that might help
[04:11] <Intangir> i see its open
[04:11] <[CC] Impsy> AlwaysIcey, is there a way to check?
[04:11] <TheUni> i'm getting all kinds of errors after playing with X. changing back to the xorg.conf.backup doesnt help. is there a way to just reinstall it and use all defaults?
[04:11] <Rhine> Does a bittorent link exist for downloading Dapper?
[04:12] <zexr0> I think so
[04:12] <Intangir> isnt that something to do with vnc?
[04:12] <Intangir> shit wrong channel
[04:12] <IcemanV9> Rhine: yes
[04:12] <brandon_> is there a way i can tell exactly what's using up the swap memory?
[04:12] <zexr0> Rhine, have you tried www.google.com Ubuntu Dapper Bittorrent
[04:13] <dipnlik> Rhine: /topic
[04:13] <[CC] Impsy> AlwaysIcey, any way you can help?
[04:13] <Rhine> no i was looking on the download page it says its at the bottom of the page but it dowsnt show :/
[04:13] <AlwaysIcey> [CC] Impsy, you can check in the Device Manager.  I believe it's in System Administration or System Preferences.  I'm not on my ubuntu box right now, or I'd check for sure.
[04:13] <johnga1t> anyone know anything about messing w/ X keymaps?
[04:13] <TheUni> http://torrent.ubuntu.com/releases/dapper/release/dvd/
[04:13] <TheUni> for the dvd.
[04:13] <IcemanV9> Rhine: it is right there on download page :)
[04:13] <Rhine> Im sorry im blind *ducks* does the DVD version fit on a CDR?
[04:14] <zexr0> Rhine, no
[04:14] <problems> fraid not, rhine.  If you find a way, please tell us
[04:14] <Ricky28269> Rhine: what do you think?
[04:14] <TheUni> ehm.. i would guess no
[04:14] <IcemanV9> 2.2Gb won't fit on 700Mb
[04:14] <TheUni> otherwise it'd be a cd version.
[04:14] <Ricky28269> TheUni: thats what i was about to say
[04:14] <gumpish> what kind of question is that
[04:14] <Rhine> The knoppix live cd i downloaded said dvd once but it fit on my cd :p
[04:15] <abo> how do I make bash correct common typos such as  suod instead of sudo ...
[04:15] <agtttt> This is probably obvious but how do I do a minimal/server install w/ Dapper?
[04:15] <zcat[1] > agtttt: use the server install disk ?
[04:15] <TheUni> agtttt: try the "server" release  :P
[04:16] <dipnlik> abo: add an alias to your ~/.bash_aliases file
[04:16] <agtttt> See? Obvious. lol
[04:16] <agtttt> thx
[04:16] <varsendaggr> hey wine is being funky --- no fonts  where do i put fonts?
[04:16] <problems> Rhine: yeah, but you downloaded the cd version of knoppix.  the CD version says Knoppix DVD when it boots for some reason.
[04:16] <zcat[1] > varsendaggr: google winetools, it does a nice job of installing fonts and stuff.
[04:16] <IcemanV9> agtttt: try to type server @ the boot (server is still option?)
[04:16] <MTecknology> what am I supposed to do to make festival actually understandable?
[04:17] <Rhine> :) yeah i realized that :p For the bittorrent download, whats the difference between the alternate and the regular version>?
[04:17] <jorvis_> I've set up a printer but when I bring up the print dialogue in firefox it doesn't see it.  help?
[04:17] <abo> dipnlik, I remember long ago bash in Redhat used to have such functionality, which tells you that the command xxx is not found if would you like to use command yyy instead (which is usually a good guess)
[04:17] <zcat[1] > desktop is a live cd and the new GUI installer, alternative is the old text installer.
[04:17] <AlwaysIcey> [CC] Impsy, I'm looking for information on the HAL for you.  A link was posted earlier where you could find out what drivers are available in ubunutu.  Then you would have used modconf to set them up.  But, the screen cleared, so I don't have the information anymore.
[04:17] <nf4> slot machines use redhat
[04:18] <dipnlik> abo: never seen something like that. well, i never used redhat
[04:18] <problems> Rhine: the alternate version is for OEMs and people who want to do automated installs, and for people with less than 192 mb. of ram
[04:18] <abo> dipnlik, well maybe I'm just imagining things :P
[04:18] <godzirra> Is there a way to see exactly how much memory a script or program is using at any given time on Ubuntu
[04:18] <IcemanV9> [CC] Impsy: ubuntu runs on your tiny PC? :)
[04:18] <zcat[1] > godzirra: top
[04:18] <agtttt> So, theres no way I can install the minimal packages with the normal CD ? Don't feel like downloading another 500mb
[04:18] <Rhine> Hmm ok then im fine, thanks for your help everyone this is my first Ubuntu upgrade :O
[04:18] <problems> godzirra: Yes, there's a system monitor in Gnome
[04:19] <jorvis_> abo: yeah, you can turn that off with "set correct=none" in your rc file
[04:19] <agtttt> Used to be able to just type server at the boot menu
[04:19] <godzirra> top doesnt show specific ammoutns, it only shows percentages.
[04:19] <problems> Rhine: good luck.  It should be pretty painless with this version (or at least that's what I've heard)
[04:19] <godzirra> problems: nothing command line?  I'm trtying to specifically find out how much ram a certain program is using.
[04:19] <jorvis_> godzirra: top shows ram usage in mb
[04:19] <IcemanV9> godzirra: top
[04:20] <jorvis_> (or whatever you want it to show it in)
[04:20] <godzirra> oh, I thought it was percentages.
[04:20] <godzirra> virt I assume is virtual
[04:20] <jorvis_> godzirra: cpu is in percentage
[04:20] <godzirra> whats res?
[04:20] <TheUni> i'm getting all kinds of errors after playing with X. changing back to the xorg.conf.backup doesnt help. is there a way to just reinstall it and use all defaults?
[04:20] <dipnlik> i think ubuntu installer should provide an easy option to install a "variant". like, when installing from a kubuntu cd, it could ask "ready to install kubuntu?" and had options like yes or other and then letting the user select ubuntu for example
[04:21] <ofer0> TheUni, Try reconfiguring it with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'
[04:21] <zcat[1] > Hey, you can still do "boot: live debian-installer" on the desktop CD if you really want..
[04:21] <TheUni> ofer0: done that. didnt help  :\
[04:21] <ofer0> TheUni, X won't start?
[04:21] <Fujitsu> dipnlik, that would mean both have to be on the same CD.
[04:21] <dipnlik> Fujitsu: no no
[04:21] <dipnlik> Fujitsu: if on cd, install from there. else, download
[04:22] <godzirra> thanks
[04:22] <problems> dipnlik: it's most likely possible on a DVD.
[04:22] <TheUni> is there a way to install over an old install? i've got a half-working ubuntu install..
[04:23] <ofer0> TheUni, X won't start?
[04:23] <dipnlik> Fujitsu: actually you can make a server install then download the variant you want, but i suggest this could be an easy option for the users
[04:23] <slavik> TheUni: what do you mean by a half working install?
[04:23] <dipnlik> problems: it can be done in a cd
[04:23] <TheUni> slavik: x wont start. and i'm not savvy enough to get it going again
[04:23] <ubuntu> ack, can't get to #debian
[04:23] <dipnlik> problems: the thing is, let's say i borrow a kubuntu cd to a friend with a low-end computer
[04:23] <gr33npho4nix> TheUni: did it used to work?
[04:24] <dipnlik> problems: it would be easy for him to use my cd to install xubuntu instead
[04:24] <TheUni> gr33npho4nix: yea
[04:24] <TheUni> used it primarily for a couple months
[04:24] <Fujitsu> dipnlik, maybe.
[04:24] <TheUni> but then got to messing around with stuff, and broke it
[04:24] <TheUni> can't even remeber the error now.
[04:24] <Moodles> I have a VIVO video card, is there anything I need to do to enable Video-In? (i can't seem to find anything on the wiki or google searches)
[04:24] <problems> dipnlik, maybe you could propose it on launchpad?
[04:25] <dipnlik> problems: launchpad.net ?
[04:25] <Ricky28269> lol i like Deserir's quit message...
[04:25] <p_masho> is there an easy way to add another directopry to the left panel in Naulilus as well as "home" and "filesystem" ?
[04:25] <gr33npho4nix> TheUni: i know when screwed my xorg config up by screwing around with it, running sudo dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg and just hitting enter lettingn it us its defaults put it back to what it was like when i installed the system
[04:25] <encon> is there any easy way to setup xen in ubuntu 6.06 ? or do i have to recompile the kernel myself
[04:26] <TheUni> what's -plow ?
[04:26] <mardi> anyone know why the synaptics touchpad on my new HP laptop goes nuts when the wifi is used?
[04:26] <Ricky28269> lol
[04:26] <gr33npho4nix> TheUni: priority low i think
[04:26] <problems> dipnlik: yeah, isn't that where Ubuntu does its dev?  Or is that just for bugs and roadmaps?  In any case, you could try the forums or (better) the mailing lists
[04:27] <TheUni> oh, ok
[04:27] <TheUni> i'll give that a shot
[04:27] <TheUni> wont be fun setting up the dual-monitors again though  :\
[04:27] <TheUni> that took me forever! heh
[04:27] <richard_> hi
[04:27] <ryanmooney> one last time before i go... any help on getting airport running... Standard airport not extreme

[04:27] <gr33npho4nix> but if it runs its better than nothing
[04:27] <farous> ntfs
[04:27] <TheUni> welp, thanks
[04:27] <dipnlik> problems: i don't know, i suggested it here to hear some feedback and to know where to contact developers to let them know about this :)
[04:27] <TheUni> i'll give that a shot
[04:27] <farous> sorry wrong room again lol
[04:27] <detectiveinspekt> How come I cant install mplater all these packages are uninstallable

[04:32] <skippy81> guys, does anyone know of a way to change the background colour of a gtk window in gnome?  I have xgl/compiz running and one of my programs runs transparant - i want to put the colour black behind its window so i can see it properly
[04:32] <zexr0> look at add-remove program from the menu
[04:32] <carthik_away> i am getting a whole lot of "busy inodes on changed media" errors in my dmesg - and the cd is not getting properly mountd, no matter what cd I insert, I get "Ubuntu 6.06 CD" showing up as mounted, though that is not the cd in the drive
[04:32] <ydnar> is it better to do the things easyubuntu can do yourself? or is it recommended to go ahead and just use the program
