[01:04] <farous> ufk: in a terminal type gconf-editor

[01:05] <argon> Hello! since I`ve installed Dapper I have not been able to boot from cd. I have tried different cds. The bios says to first boot from cd, then HD, but it will not boot from cd... what to do?
[01:05] <cydrive> hello wondering if anyone can give me some help with a broadcom wireless card for my laptop im new to linux but not computers so im not a complete idiot any help would be appreciated though
[01:05] <se1> has anyone configured blackbox menus on dapper ?
[01:06] <Staz> maje
[01:06] <Staz> sorry wrong window :)
[01:07] <farous> cydrive: either ndiswrapper or bcm43xx package in either case you need a good working window drive (bcm .inf or bcm .sys) file for your card
[01:07] <dt-oz-gc> argon: Bios is checked b4 anything on disk. Dapper/grub is on disk. It cant be a Dapper/grub problem.
[01:07] <C_REATiVE_> kvcd-t mivel lehet lejtszani vlc -n kvl ?
[01:07] <ufk> ohhh
[01:07] <ufk> thanks andi5
[01:07] <J_P> hi all
[01:08] <argon> dt-oz-gc: thanks.
[01:08] <cydrive> Farous do you knwo where i could get the window driver because i currently have no windows os on my computer i erased my whole hardrive when i installed ubuntu
[01:08] <_cyanide> cydrive: on the cd which you got with the card
[01:09] <farous> cydrive: depending on your card there are links on the web. give me a min
[01:09] <andi5> re: is there a file i can edit so that update-grub does not specify defoptions="quiet splash" each time?
[01:10] <dibblego> has anyone seen this issue? https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/50836
[01:10] <cydrive> Thank you so much i extremly appreciate your help
[01:10] <farous> cydrive: http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Main_Page
[01:11] <farous> cydrive: look at list of drives of cards known to work
 I shall hunt into update-grub. 1. check in Synaptic for its config files, eg /etc/... or /usr/lib/update-grub...
[01:11] <cydrive> Thank you i will try it now to see if it will work thank you so much i hate using a wired connection
[01:11] <farous> cydrive: bcm43xx will have native support hopefully in edgy if they can include the new linux kernel
[01:12] <andi5> dt-oz-gc: i may be wrong, but update-grub is in package grub and seems to hardcode this variable, but i just hoped someone knew better :)
[01:12] <farous> cydrive: install ndiswrapper-utils and ndisgtk packages then look for the drive
[01:12] <cydrive> ok
[01:12] <Staz> possible to when doing make, make it scroll one page @ a time?
[01:13] <gentoo_fanboy> Staz: make | less :)
[01:13] <amias> Staz, pipe it to less e.g. make all | less
[01:13] <diop> someone has a wifi connexion ? i d like to make mine work
[01:14] <diop> i ve tried so many commands
[01:14] <amias> diop , works from the gui for me
[01:14] <dt-oz-gc> andi5. Yes. I see I need to get grub-doc
 rtfm?
[01:15] <farous> i had some troubles with my file sys. ext3 is ok but when it breaks it breaks badly here. any suggestion to which format should i use for a new partition am going to format
[01:15] <amias> anyone else got an unstartable openoffice on dapper ?
[01:15] <andi5> dt-oz-gc: tell me which one .... update-grub is a debian addon, so the info page does not contain any word about it
[01:16] <farous> amias: open the apll in a terminal to see what is wrong. try oowriter
[01:16] <amias> farous, ext3 is very stable , have you checked your disk for bad blocks ? any fs will fail if there are badblocks on the disk
[01:16] <amias> farous, it says /usr/lib/openoffice/program/javaldx: error while loading shared libraries: libjvmfwk.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[01:16] <amias> /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin: error while loading shared libraries: libvos3gcc3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
[01:16] <amias> ** (process:7287): WARNING **: Unknown error forking main binary / abnormal early exit ...
[01:16] <farous> amias: will do yet that is a new harddisk and pretty reliable
[01:16] <aedwards232> I am writing a script and I will have to pass over 2000 arguments to a command, is there any issue in doing this? the command by the way is nmap
[01:17] <dt-oz-gc> I just got grub-doc back now, after a machine cleanout and reload of everything. Gimme 5 mins to read it.
[01:17] <andi5> dt-oz-gc: yep, maybe i have not read everything and am plain wrong :)
[01:17] <amias> farous,  perfection doesn't exist , new disks can have bad sectors , good admins pre-test all disk before use
[01:17] <farous> amias: you got it then install the missing lib
[01:18] <farous> amias: i did test the harddisk
[01:18] <farous> i always get lost links and fcsk just delete the missing files. one of the files was a lib that made my pc unbootable
[01:18] <gentoo_fanboy> lol
[01:19] <farous> amias: had to look up its name and had to symbol. link the lib for it to work again
[01:19] <farous> anyway this problem is just recent on two pcs running ubuntu. that is why i asked
[01:19] <ufk> is there an ubuntu debian package?
[01:19] <ufk> ah
[01:20] <ufk> i ment is there an ubuntu vmware package? :)
[01:20] <amias> farous, you tried badblocks ?
[01:20] <Ng> ufk: there's a package for vmware-player
[01:20] <jrib> !info vmware-player
[01:20] <kristian> cyanide, you here?
[01:20] <ubotu> vmware-player: Free virtual machine player from VMware. In repository multiverse, is optional. Version 1.0.1-4 (dapper), package size 11563 kB, installed size 31248 kB
[01:20] <farous> on one harddisk will test the other
[01:20] <ufk> -player?
[01:20] <gentoo_fanboy> kristian: yes :)
[01:21] <amias> farous, helps to know if hardware is playing up
[01:21] <cydrive> can someone help im trying to install ndiswrapper and im doing the first part of the instal using the command tar zxvf ndiswrapper-1.18.tar.gz though im getting an error cannot open no such file or directy exists
[01:21] <farous> will do so
[01:21] <gentoo_fanboy> cydrive: thats because the file doesnt exist where you're typing the command
[01:21] <compengi> yesterday i hibernated my pc, when i turned it on back the kernel didn't start up
[01:21] <farous> cydrive: ndiswrapper util is in the repos
[01:21] <gentoo_fanboy> type ls to see if the file is in that folder
[01:21] <andi5> cydrive: ls -l ndiswrapper-1.18.tar.gz .... works?
[01:22] <kristian> gentoo_fanboy, when i write sudo modprobe radeon i get a error message.
[01:22] <gentoo_fanboy> try sudo modprobe fglrx
[01:22] <kristian> i didn't get that before
[01:22] <cydrive> no it does not
[01:22] <kristian> okai
[01:22] <farous> kristian: do you have fglrx loaded
[01:22] <amias> can someone with a working install of dapper tell me if they have either of libjvmfwk.so.3 or libvos3gcc3.so ?
[01:22] <Ro1> i have a question..i have 4318 broadcom chip running dapper...i did the instructions on forum...and my light is on now...but i dont think its working...any ideas?
[01:22] <farous> amias: give me a min and tell me where to look
[01:22] <andi5> cydrive: then `cd` into the directory that contains the tarball
[01:22] <kristian> sudo modprobe fglrx, nothing happend
[01:23] <farous> kristian: lsmod |grep fglrx
[01:23] <kristian> then fglrx is loaded right?
[01:23] <jrib> amias: I have both in /usr/lib/openoffice/program/
[01:23] <Ro1> i have a question..i have 4318 broadcom chip running dapper...i did the instructions on forum...and my light is on now...but i dont think its working...any ideas?
[01:24] <kristian> fglrx                 388908  0
[01:24] <kristian> agpgart                34888  2 fglrx,amd64_agp
[01:24] <burepe1> can I use ktorrent 2.0 beta in dapper?
[01:24] <farous> kristian: it is loaded
[01:24] <kristian> nice
[01:24] <Ro1> 'k' symbololizes kde, but i'm a noob
[01:24] <kenas> how can i run 3ddesktop ?
[01:24] <kristian> but does it work?
[01:24] <Ro1> i have a question..i have 4318 broadcom chip running dapper...i did the instructions on forum...and my light is on now...but i dont think its working...any ideas?
[01:25] <amias> jrib, i don't have them , could you tell me which package they come from (dpkg -S /path/to/file )
[01:25] <jrib> amias: openoffice.org-core
[01:25] <farous> kristian: if you have fglrx-control package installed run fglrxinfo
[01:25] <Ro1> i have a question..i have 4318 broadcom chip running dapper...i did the instructions on forum...and my light is on now...but i dont think its working...any ideas????????????????????????????????????????????????
[01:25] <amias> jrib, tar -muchly
[01:26] <jrib> amias: packages.ubuntu.com can let you search for packages that contain a package too
[01:26] <kristian> i don't have fglrx-control pacakge installed, i think, when i run fglrxinfo, mesa comes up
[01:26] <Ro1> no one can help me?
[01:26] <jrib> erm file I mean
[01:26] <amias> jrib, cool thanks
[01:26] <farous> kristian: did you change your xorg.conf file
[01:26] <kristian> no
[01:26] <andi5> Ro1: so what did you do?
[01:26] <stefg> Anyone suceeded to rebuild the _original_ -25 kernel from the _original_-sources with the _original_-config? I'll always get a build error :-(
[01:26] <kristian> it was already changed
[01:26] <kristian> i think
[01:27] <farous> kristian: did you install the xorg-driver-fglrx from repos?
[01:27] <Ro1> i have a question..i have 4318 broadcom chip running dapper...i did the instructions on forum...and my light is on now...but i dont think its working...any ideas??
[01:27] <gnomefreak> sudo apt-get build-dep openoffice ;)
 u still here?
[01:27] <kristian> farous, I installed from the howto thing, ati, im not sure
[01:27] <andi5> dt-oz-gc: no ;-)
[01:27] <Ro1> i have a question..i have 4318 broadcom chip running dapper...i did the instructions on forum...and my light is on now...but i dont think its working...any ideas??
[01:28] <SeanTater> J-_: install superkaramba instead
[01:28] <gnomefreak> Ro1: please stop rpeating so often
[01:28] <McScruff> lo
[01:28] <gnomefreak> repeating*
[01:28] <Ro1> well, no one is answering if they could help or not
[01:28] <farous> kristian: would have been easier if you installed from the repos. why take the hard road if it is already done for you
[01:28] <NickGarvey> Ro1: mm I never got wireless working in ubuntu
[01:28] <thoreauputic> !patience
[01:28] <dt-oz-gc> ;-). ok, i ended up in my /boot/grub/menu.lst file. There is info in there.
[01:28] <ubotu> The people in this IRC channel are volunteers. Please be patient and polite. The IRC guidelines can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:28] <NickGarvey> !patience > ro1
[01:28] <s-toned> The following works in a shell, but not with crontab: date >> /var/log/status$(date +%Y-%m). Why not? (It worked with debian, as I recall.)
[01:28] <kristian> farous, what is the repos?
[01:28] <gnomefreak> Ro1: they will answer if they can help and are not busy helping another
[01:28] <J-_> will superkaramba  screw anything up if i try to install it with gtk 2.0?
[01:28] <NickGarvey> Ro1: but I can tell you what I did in other distros..
[01:28] <farous> !repos > kristian
[01:29] <amias> Ro1, what kind of adapter are you using ? what kind of security does the network use ?
[01:29] <Ro1> i dont think that will help much nickgarvey
[01:29] <Ro1> broadcom 4318 54g
[01:29] <aLPHa_LeaK> is tell bla about bla outdated? ;)
[01:29] <farous> kristian: it is the ftp sites that have all the compiled bin packages for you
[01:29] <NickGarvey> Ro1: yeah I have the same card
[01:29] <Ro1> no security
[01:29] <andi5> dt-oz-gc: yes, but it does not seem to help
[01:29] <thoreauputic> aLPHa_LeaK: still works afaik
[01:29] <kristian> farous, ok... can i use them now?
[01:29] <idefix> how do I know if I have Narrowband/Light broadband/Broadband or another type of connection?
[01:29] <NickGarvey> Ro1: run iwconfig and ifconfig and pastebin them
[01:29] <Ro1> ok...will do
[01:30] <farous> can users direct ubotu with tell anymore ?
[01:30] <aLPHa_LeaK> thoreauputic: yeah, theyre probably all in a hurry ;)
[01:30] <McScruff> with the install app on the live cd (ubiquity) is there a way to stop it installing a boot loader?
[01:30] <njan> idefix, ash whoever provides your connection for you?:
[01:30] <njan> *ask
[01:30] <NickGarvey> farous: yes, but > is shorter
[01:30] <farous> kristian: open synaptic is a nice front end for the package management
[01:30] <amias> Rol, tried this -  http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-191084.html ?
[01:30] <gnomefreak> farous: everyone can send a factoid
[01:30] <kenas> how can i run 3ddesktop ?
[01:30] <farous> gnomefreak: did not work for me. for i used to get a feedback am not anymore
[01:30] <gnomefreak> farous: you will not recieve anything if sent
[01:30] <farous> gnomefreak: ok
[01:30] <gnomefreak> farous: its not the same bot your used to
[01:31] <farous> :)
[01:31] <andi5> dt-oz-gc: aaaahh.... they suck ;-)
[01:31] <dt-oz-gc> andi5. I am looking at lines '# kopt=root=/dev/hda1 ro vga=771', and '# defoptions=quiet splash'. Maybe grub reads the top stuff there, and rewrites the stuff at the bottom - the actual boot commands - based on those top lines plus whatever kernels it finds.
[01:31] <andi5> dt-oz-gc: i changed defoptions=quiet splash  to defoptions=    (empty string), but update-grub refilled the primer... so now i set defoptions=a and it works ;-)
[01:31] <cydrive> farous thanks for your help sucks im so used to DOS commands i got my cd command mixed lol thanks though now i cna finish the instal
[01:31] <amias> kenas, before xgl i used 3ddesktop and i launched it from a button on the panel
[01:31] <kristian> farous, ok, what do i search for?
[01:32] <farous> cydrive: good luck
[01:32] <dt-oz-gc> andi5. What is 'a'?
[01:32] <farous> kristian: you need to enable extra repos first
[01:32] <andi5> dt-oz-gc: it is a non-empty string :)
[01:32] <kristian> i have enabled univrese
[01:32] <farous> !easysource > kristian
[01:32] <farous> kristian: there is multiverse too
[01:33] <J-_> will superkaramba run in gnome?
[01:33] <dt-oz-gc> Yeah but what does update-grub do with it? .. discard it as non-sense?
[01:33] <amias> yay, openoffice is back after a forced reinstall of openoffice.org-core
[01:33] <kwjp> I have a quick question about getting x to work again.. I tried to update my nvidia driver, but I somehow messed up the config file. I know it automatically made a backup, but does anyone know where I might find it?
[01:33] <Minty> how can i ask questions on freenode as my question are shown #freenode-social :Cannot send to channel
[01:33] <andi5> well, it leaves the line defoptions=a and appends it to the kernel line (_without_ splash&quiet)
[01:33] <amias> kwjp,  /etc/X11/
[01:33] <andi5> dt-oz-gc: in stark contrast to defoptions=
[01:34] <kwjp> thanks.. I'll look there, but I might be back
[01:34] <dt-oz-gc> So 'defoptions=a' is repeated into your kernel lines? What does 'defoptions=a' mean?
[01:34] <farous> amias: do you happen to use aptitude
[01:35] <kristian> farous, ok, done
[01:35] <amias> farous, nope dpkg --force all --purge then apt-get install
[01:35] <rapha> Argl.
[01:35] <rapha> Is it even possible to buy a navigation system WITHOUT needing a Windows PDA???
[01:35] <farous> kristian: ok remeber did you change xorg.conf file or did you even backit up
[01:35] <andi5> dt-oz-gc: puhh... "defoptions= " (with space) works too.... a does not mean anything, i just did not expect update-grub to ignore the explicit declaration of defoptions as empty string (so i took a short nonempty one)
[01:36] <kristian> i haven't done anything with the xorg.conf file
[01:36] <farous> amias: ok. i ment sometimes regular use of aptitude result in those wierd removal of packages
[01:36] <cydrive> Quick question im on the compiling version of ndiswrapper and i put the line make distclean as it says but i just get an eror mae is not a command
[01:36] <farous> kristian: you should have changed the driver from ati to fglrx
[01:36] <NickGarvey> cydrive: apt-get install build-essential
[01:36] <andi5> cydrive: mae is not a command (you mean make)
[01:37] <dt-oz-gc> andi5: Yeah You need to put a valid command in. Maybe 'defoptions=quiet' will be OK.
[01:37] <kristian> i think it's already changed, but i'll do it
[01:37] <NickGarvey> cydrive: "sudo apt-get install build-essential" actually
[01:37] <cydrive> yes i mean make k key gets jammed sometimes
[01:37] <posu> what is the application dedicated to managing rcx.d configuration files in ubuntu or there is no such app?
[01:37] <s-toned> rapha: there are nav systems for palm and some mobile phone systems (symbian(??))
[01:37] <farous> kristian: wait we can check
[01:37] <amias> farous: i think using dpkg --force all can do that too ;-)
[01:37] <farous> amias: :)
[01:37] <andi5> dt-oz-gc: well, i wanted _no_ additional options, but i have found a solution :) do you think that this is worth a bug report?
[01:37] <amias> farous, and dodgy hard disks
[01:37] <farous> lol
[01:37] <dt-oz-gc> probably.
[01:37] <rapha> s-toned: which tho? Actually I have a BlackBerry so I don't want a PDA at all. Just a stand-alone nav system which you can put in the car.
[01:37] <farous> kristian: you can open the file with an editor and check. do not use sudo
[01:38] <andi5> cydrive: maybe install build-essentials
[01:38] <amias> right well i'm off , thanks all , have fun
[01:38] <kristian> furous, okai :) i always forget the code thing... :S
[01:38] <dt-oz-gc> It might not be a bug... i do not understand grub well enough either. grub2 is coming. i will revisit when its out.
[01:38] <SirKillalot> hello, how can I make my gnome-terminal get transparent when I start it using Xgl?
[01:38] <farous> kristian: or you can in a terminal cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf |grep Drive
[01:38] <cydrive> farous i tried what you said and got this E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13 Permission denied)
[01:38] <cydrive> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? i mean i have root im the admin of the system
[01:39] <gnomefreak> cydrive: use sudo?
[01:39] <farous> cydrive: tried what. and you need sudo
[01:39] <andi5> dt-oz-gc: yes, i have installed it once, and as i did not see a grub binary i felt quiet uncomfortable :)
[01:39] <J-_> superkaramba is running on gnome, hopefully it's alright to run on it
[01:39] <cydrive> ok let me try
[01:39] <kristian> farous, i make a bin file a post it here soon..
[01:39] <farous> cydrive: you mean opening synaptic
[01:39] <gnomefreak> dt-oz-gc: grub2 is in dapper repos
[01:39] <McScruff> Is it possible to use the text based installer on the livecd?
[01:39] <farous> kristian: no posting here use the pastebin
[01:39] <aLPHa_LeaK> !paste
[01:39] <kristian> farous, yes ofc
[01:39] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[01:40] <snoops> you can only have one update going at once cydrive.. such as synaptic, or update manager, etc
[01:40] <thoreauputic> McScruff: no, it's only the graphical installer
[01:40] <patrick_king> !mp3

. Yes. but i am too chicken to try it. Dont have time to wreck a machine these days.
[01:40] <thoreauputic> McScruff: the "alternate" Cd has the text installer
[01:40] <gnomefreak> lol
[01:40] <kristian> farous, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16539
[01:40] <cydrive> snoops okay
[01:40] <kwjp> I looked in /etc/X11 and there are no backup files there, just the xorg.conf itself.. any other suggestions?
[01:41] <dt-oz-gc> c.u. later.
[01:41] <McScruff> thoreauputic, crap, i want to install nubuntu ( a security distro based on dapper livecd) but i dont want to use the gui installer because it will overwrite my mbr
[01:41] <thoreauputic> McScruff: yes, that seems like a bug to me
[01:41] <farous> kristian: you have it loaded
[01:41] <thoreauputic> McScruff: you don't have an "alternate" CD?
[01:41] <gnomefreak> thoreauputic: isnt nubuntu still a 3rd party version?
[01:42] <andi5> thoreauputic: can you give me a good reason why there is no text installer on the default cd? after install repeatedly crashing for me (did not tell me that grub does not like /boot on xfs), i wished to have a text one
[01:42] <McScruff> thoreauputic, not on nubuntu as its a livecd :)
[01:42] <thoreauputic> gnomefreak: I assume so, yes
[01:42] <kristian> farous, okai, then... what do i search for in synaptic? :)
[01:42] <farous> kristian: did you backup your xorg.conf file according to the howto you used
[01:42] <snoops> make a backup of your mbr with dd /dev/yourhdd /home/blah.img bs=512 count=1 McScruff.. bs=512 takes the partition table and grub installer part.. if you just want the grub installer part use bs=446
[01:42] <kristian> i have never been into that file today :P
[01:42] <Ng> andi5: because the regular install CD is also a live CD that doesn't use the same installer. There is an alternate install CD available for download that uses the old text mode installer
[01:42] <farous> kristian: i do not know the how to you used but basically i recommend installing the one in the repos
[01:42] <thoreauputic> andi5: short answer: no Long answer, Colin Watson says therea re technical problems with doing it
[01:43] <farous> kristian: there are some tweaks that need to be made. and i can not just figure how good the howto wa
[01:43] <andi5> ok, thanks (did not expect tech problems)
[01:43] <farous> s
[01:43] <McScruff> snoops, is it possible to re-install grub from inside ubuntu thats already installed?
[01:43] <snoops> yep McScruff
[01:44] <McScruff> i'll just overwrite it with this install then, boot into my ubuntu then re-install it
[01:44] <snoops> you can boot from the live cd, chroot into the system, run the grub installer on the hdd of your choosing
[01:44] <farous> kristian: did the howto end up with you making a .deb files that you installed later
[01:44] <kristian> no
[01:44] <kristian> don't think so...
[01:44] <snoops> then edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst (well you might not need to edit it, but you can from there)
[01:44] <andi5> oh, good question: what binary recognizes installed os'es? i installed windows after ubuntu and edited menu.lst by hand, but is there a way to find it automagically?
[01:44] <farous> search in synaptic for fglrx packages that are installed
[01:44] <diop> hahaha
[01:44] <andi5> sorry, i did not mean that my question was a good question ;-)
[01:44] <diop> yesssssss
[01:44] <diop> my wifi works
[01:44] <diop> loll
[01:45] <andi5> diop: mine too... .congrats :D
[01:45] <kristian> forus, i found some packages
[01:45] <farous> kristian: are they installed
[01:45] <kristian> yes
[01:45] <aLPHa_LeaK> can you just delete outdated init-images and use update-grub?
[01:45] <kristian> i searched only for isntalled pacakges
[01:45] <kristian> packages..
[01:45] <diop> andi5 i ve made about one month
[01:45] <diop> and finally
[01:45] <farous> kristian: ok let me try a shortcut first
[01:46] <kristian> those marked green, are installed? right?
[01:46] <kristian> yes :)
[01:46] <Ng> aLPHa_LeaK: you probably want to remove the packages that own the old images, then grub will be updated for you
[01:46] <farous> yes give me a min first
[01:46] <aLPHa_LeaK> ah.
[01:46] <kristian> yes..
[01:46] <andi5> diop: it was really easy here.... i just inserted the interfaces lines of my previous breezy~>dapper system, this time without any hassle to edit pre.up's and alike :)
[01:47] <farous> kristian: first of those packages is there a fglrx-control one installed
[01:47] <kristian> yes
[01:47] <farous> good in a terminal type fglrxinfo
[01:48] <kristian> done
[01:48] <thoreauputic> To me, the major prblem with the live/graphical installer is that it is the Cd supplied by "shipit" - and many of the people who most need shipiy are not in a position to download the alternate CD
[01:48] <Bassetts> is it possible to be able to move windows along the taskbar, like you can move tabs around in firefox?
[01:48] <farous> did it say ati or mesa
[01:48] <kristian> mesa
[01:48] <farous> ok in a terminal type sudo depmod -aq
[01:49] <andi5> Bassetts: if it was, i would _love_ to know how :)
[01:49] <kristian> dibe
[01:49] <kristian> done, nothing happend
[01:49] <farous> kristian: you have the fglrx-kernel package installed right
[01:49] <Bassetts> andi5: me too :) imho its the most needed feature
[01:49] <andi5> Bassetts: let me see whether there is some bug or rfe in gnome-panel
[01:50] <kristian> no?
[01:50] <kristian> i can't find it
[01:50] <farous> there is no fglrx-kernel package installed
[01:50] <ufk> what mirror can i use instead of us.archive.ubuntu.com, i can't connect to it
[01:50] <kristian> nope
[01:50] <Schalken> is an ext3 partition classified as absolutely unresizable?
[01:50] <farous> kristian: can you paste on the pastebin the output of this command
[01:51] <farous> sudo aptitude search fglrx
[01:51] <kristian> what should i pastebin?
[01:51] <farous> the output of , sudo aptitude search fglrx
[01:52] <kristian> not installed packages?
[01:52] <andi5> Bassetts: maybe http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=37787
[01:52] <farous> kristian: sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude search fglrx
[01:52] <Bassetts> andi5: i shall look
[01:52] <cyberix> Dapper seems to have some big problems with playing media-files. Are these known problems?
[01:53] <cyberix> I never experienced such problems with Breezy
[01:53] <farous> cyberix: it is because of copy right laws
[01:53] <farous> !restrictedformats > cyberix
[01:53] <kristian> farous, search in installed packages or not installed?
[01:54] <andi5> farous: ubotu supports redirection?
[01:54] <kwjp> does anyone know where xorg.conf would be backed up to? I looked in /etc/X11 and it's not there
[01:54] <gnomefreak> brb
[01:54] <cyberix> farous: Not only them.
[01:54] <farous> kristian: ah you have to close synaptic before you execute this command
[01:54] <cyberix> farous: Rhythmbox crashes all the time.
[01:54] <Bassetts> andi5: i dont think that is it
[01:54] <farous> andi5: seems the new one do
[01:55] <kristian> farous, installed or not installed packages? i have to choose
[01:55] <Bassetts> andi5: i am on about the window list
[01:55] <andi5> Bassetts: why not?
[01:55] <farous> kristian: you run this in a command line it will show you installed and uninstalled packages
[01:55] <Bassetts> that bug is for the task list not window list
[01:55] <farous> kristian: command line == gnome-terminal or konsole
[01:56] <andi5> Bassetts: but what is a task list if not the window list?
[01:56] <Bassetts> top right?? near the clock
[01:56] <Bassetts> thats what i thought the task list was
[01:56] <kristian> yes, but i can choose if i want to search in installed packages or not installed packages?
[01:57] <thoreauputic> Bassetts: that's the "notification area"
[01:57] <aftertaf> anyone good with mplex problems (dvd authoring) ?
[01:57] <farous> kristian: ok lets see both
[01:57] <Bassetts> ok =S
[01:57] <Bassetts> naming is confusing lol
[01:57] <thoreauputic> Bassetts: yes :)
[01:57] <andi5> Bassetts: near the clock? but you do not mean the appointsments from evolution, shown in the clock applet itself, right?
[01:57] <kristian> okai, i do it twice then
[01:57] <kwjp> where can I get help with my xorg.conf file?
[01:58] <yallaman> is there any good 3d modern combat flight sim..good on linux..or at last nice to use under cedega/wine?
[01:58] <Bassetts> andi5: that just confuses me as i do not use evolution
[01:58] <Bassetts> heh
[01:58] <kristian> farous, oki
[01:58] <kristian> i choosed installed pack
[01:58] <kristian> s
[01:58] <farous> kwjp: you are in the right room would be easier if you start stating the prob
[01:58] <kristian> and then?
[01:58] <andi5> Bassetts: the point is: there is a difference in gnome-panel and gnome-applets, so if it is filed again gnome-panel, then .... where is there another list? :-D
[01:59] <Bassetts> =O well confused lol
[01:59] <andi5> s/e in g/s between g/;s/again/against/ ;-(
[01:59] <menisk> Is there a program that can read a dv stream through usb 2.0 or Firewire?
[01:59] <farous> kristian: am sure we are not talking about the same thing. are you looking at the gui synaptic or a terminal?
[01:59] <kristian> terminal
[02:00] <farous> kristian: do not know how you can choose installed or uninstalled did you open the gui front end for aptitude
[02:00] <kwjp> sorry, the problem is that I tried to update my nvidia drivers and it changed my xorg.conf file and now x won't start
[02:00] <kristian> some DOS thing.. :P
[02:00] <kwjp> it said it made a backup, but I don't know where it put it
[02:00] <farous> kwjp: /etc/X11/
[02:00] <kwjp> no, I didn't see it there
[02:01] <kristian> let's restart :P

[02:04] <kwjp> thank you, I found the backup with "locate xorg.conf" it was in /var/backups/xorg/
[02:04] <uwe> hello, i know the question is a primitive one, but i really have no clue why this happens, ive installed Ununtu dapper amd64 on a xeon machine with a 2.4 Ghz processor , scsi RAID and 2 GB ram ... the system is very slow ... it boots very slowly, grub is slow, and even executing the commands takes too much time ! i suspect its an i/o issue on the HD ... any ideas?
[02:04] <farous> kristian: for sure you missed one part of the howto
[02:04] <farous> kwjp: :) great
[02:05] <tijn> hi all
[02:05] <farous> kristian: ok better to install from the repos then
[02:05] <farous> kristian: open synaptic again
[02:05] <kristian> yes
[02:05] <troughton> is a 2.4 a 64 bit processer uwe ??
[02:05] <farous> kristian: this way it will be updated automtaically for you
[02:05] <matze> intel xeon is 64bits
[02:06] <farous> kristian: ok uninstall the fglrx packages then reinstall them again
[02:06] <farous> kristian: do not worry of the error messages you will get
[02:06] <uwe> sry, a 3.20
[02:06] <kristian> uninstall all of them? all the packages?
[02:06] <uwe> Intel(R) Xeon(TM) CPU 3.20GHz
[02:06] <farous> they are only two right
[02:06] <imc_> Morning ndiswrapper help: I download the source and unzip and following instructions do 'make' and get Command not found.
[02:06] <imc_> Help?
[02:06] <kristian> here is 5..
[02:06] <kristian> installed
[02:06] <farous> kristian: two with fglrx in them
[02:06] <matze> uwe, do you have the problems with other OSes too?
[02:07] <kristian> yes, two
[02:07] <kwjp> I got that error message before, use synaptic to search for "make"
[02:07] <kristian> mark for reinstallation?
[02:07] <uwe> well, matze , i had a suse on it before and it was ok
[02:07] <farous> kristian: wait let me check again
[02:07] <imc_> Can anyone help with ndiswrapper?
[02:07] <kwjp> imc_, try using synaptic to search for "make"
[02:07] <farous> kristian: aptitude say you only have two installed how come you say you have 5 ?
[02:08] <imc_> You;re kidding right?
[02:08] <farous> imc_: install build-essential package
[02:08] <burepe1> I am following the ktorrent site's explanation on how to compile ktorrent and I am getting errors on the "make" command. It says "make: *** No rule to make target 'install'. Stop." What should I do?
[02:08] <kristian> i serach for fglrx in synaptic
[02:08] <uwe> matze, the raid configureation changed, and i very much suspect that it could be it. but how can i make sure
[02:08] <matze> hmm... what architecture was suse? x86_64 or i386?
[02:08] <kwjp> no, I had that problem before and it worked for me
[02:08] <uwe> 64
[02:08] <imc_> Why on earth would that not be installed by default! Oh well, thanks kwjp, installing now
[02:08] <farous> kristian: the one in green are installed all others are not
[02:08] <uwe> AFAIK, it broke ... :)
[02:09] <farous> imc_: you need build-essentail package for not all users are programmers
[02:09] <kristian> i remove all with fglrx in the name okai?
[02:09] <farous> imc_: you will need gcc and other tools too
[02:09] <farous> kristian: ok
[02:09] <tanlaan> hey all
[02:09] <kristian> mark for reinstallation?
[02:09] <kristian> or remove?
[02:09] <matze> I guess it's any problem with dapper, but this can have many reasons imho
[02:09] <troughton> can anyone tell me how to get my dvd working and playing movies ??
[02:10] <farous> remove and then install
[02:10] <thoreauputic> !dvd
[02:10] <ubotu> See http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html. Libdvdcss can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[02:10] <farous> kristian: complete remove
[02:10] <kristian> okai
[02:10] <imc_> SO I've got ndiswrapper made, but I'm getting error 2 /bin/sh ar: command not found when running make
[02:10] <tanlaan> im was trying to configure a MOO program...and got an error
[02:10] <kristian> the control panel and somehting else then
[02:10] <troughton> have been though that ubotu and have libdvdcss installed still dose not work
[02:10] <uwe> matze, i didnt understad that, do you think its a dapper issue or a non-dapper issue ?
[02:10] <imc_> Why was this so much easier under Hoary and Breezy?
[02:10] <kristian> not panel, just control
[02:11] <kristian> apply?
[02:11] <farous> yah
[02:11] <matze> i think its a dapper issue
[02:11] <imc_> Can anyone point me to a good how to for ndiswraper under Dapper? I've been frustrated as hell this morning
[02:11] <matze> another question, uwe: are you running from live-cd or did you install dapper?
[02:11] <thoreauputic> !wifi
[02:11] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[02:11] <imc_> Thanks
[02:12] <uwe> matze, :) installed :)
[02:12] <matze> when running from live-cd it was very, very slow on my box
[02:12] <matze> ah k
[02:12] <kristian> farous, then?
[02:12] <farous> kristian: install them again this time they will install from repos
[02:12] <farous> kristian: make sure you have the repos enabled
[02:13] <kwjp> hm, this would be much easier if I ran my livecd... how do I boot into it, I tried to earlier, but it ignored the cd, I have bios to boot from cd first
[02:13] <Sgeo> "Totem could not play 'fd://0'."
[02:13] <kristian> i just right click on them and click install  or?
[02:13] <Sgeo> Using totem-gstreamer
[02:13] <uwe> is there a way to test the I/O speed
[02:13] <farous> kristian: exactly
[02:13] <matze> but I dont know what the reason could be, im not a tech or something, im just using gnu/linux
[02:14] <uwe> yes, same here matze .. thank you :)
[02:14] <_Rappy_> I can't seem to find the equalient of this page https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade to upgrade from Breezy to Dapper. Not released yet or what?
[02:14] <BrianHH> Hi, everyone.  Is anyone here familiar with using Captive to read + write NTFS drives?  When I try to ls my NTFS partition, it gives me a "connection refused" error.
[02:14] <KenSentMe> !tell _Rappy_ about upgrade
[02:15] <neutrinomass> uwe: sudo hdparm -t /dev/hda
[02:15] <_Rappy_> tnx :)
[02:15] <matze> no problem. tried to reinstall?
[02:15] <kristian> ok, now they are installed
[02:15] <rapha> !tell rapha about upgrade
[02:15] <kwjp> how do I make my computer boot to cd? I start it up and it skips the cd and just loads my installed ubuntu
[02:15] <rapha> kwjp: does it tell about any keys that you can press?
[02:15] <rapha> kwjp: if everything goes too fast, try pressing the Pause key
[02:15] <burepe1> kwjp; you gotta go in to the BIOs and change the boot order
[02:16] <farous> kristian: close synaptic and type this command, sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)
[02:16] <troughton> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions brianHH
[02:16] <kwjp> the boot order has cd go first
[02:16] <kwjp> but it skips it
[02:16] <BrianHH> Thanks, troughton .  I'll check it out. :)
[02:16] <uwe> thanks neutrinomass
[02:16] <imc_> None of the how-tos in the wifi refers to ndiswrapper on a x386; the instructions for ndiswrapper on an AMD are WRONG in that they ask me to unar the latest ndiswrapper file and cd into the debian directory, which doesn't exist. Any help please?
[02:16] <kristian> the newest version is already installed
[02:16] <burepe1> kwjp: when the comp starts there should be a screen with options, what are they?
[02:16] <farous> kwjp: are you sure the bootsec on the disc is not damaged
[02:17] <farous> kristian: great
[02:17] <kwjp> it's the cd I used to install it with
[02:17] <thoreauputic> kwjp: either 1) Not a bootable CD or 2) BIOS problem
[02:17] <kristian> okai :)
[02:17] <farous> kristian: now fglrxinfo
[02:17] <Sgeo> Maybe disabling hd in the boot order (*winces hoping he isn't saying something wrong*)
[02:17] <tanlaan> i tried compiling a MOO program, and i got an error that i didnt have an ANSI-C Compiler
[02:17] <tanlaan> does anyone know where i might be able to get that
[02:17] <kristian> mesa shit still tere
[02:17] <kristian> there
[02:17] <neutrinomass> tanlaan: You need to install build-essential .
[02:17] <Sukre^n_Pudre> why if i do * adduser myuser video * it says thad user is already present ? O_o
[02:18] <Sukre^n_Pudre> group on video device are root - root
[02:18] <farous> kristian: try a reboot. what is your card
[02:18] <tanlaan> thx neitrinomass ill try that
[02:18] <uwe> 10 MB in  4.01 seconds =   2.49 MB/sec ! i suppose thats VERY slow ... no ?
[02:18] <kristian> farous, 9800 Pro, ati
[02:18] <kristian> radeon
[02:18] <kristian> rebot now, see ya
[02:18] <farous> ok
[02:18] <thoreauputic> uwe: *very* slow
[02:18] <neutrinomass> tanlaan: Although make sure you check the repositories before compiling anything - ok ? :)
[02:18] <uwe> hmmm
[02:18] <zerboxx> Hello everyone. I'm having an odd program. Out of nowhere my HDD has become read-only...
[02:19] <tanlaan> lol ok
[02:19] <neutrinomass> zerboxx: It drops you to a console when booting ?
[02:19] <matze> uwe did you install chipset drivers?
[02:19] <funky> hi
[02:19] <Sgeo> Hi funk
[02:19] <BrianHH> troughton:  I'm assuming from the info on that page that Captive won't work to write to NTFS.  Is that correct?
[02:19] <zerboxx> neotard: yes, and the last thing I did was try to setup vgetty, so I was trying to undo some things, but I can't
[02:19] <funky> any repository where amarok 1.4 its on it?
[02:19] <Sgeo> *funky
[02:19] <funky> hi Sgeo
[02:20] <troughton> it tells you how to make it read wright also
[02:20] <Sgeo> When I boot up, EVMS takes a long time
[02:20] <neutrinomass> zerboxx: Try fscking the drive....
[02:20] <fluxy> Hello. Is there a way to stop ubuntu from doing disk/filesystem checks at the start? It takes way too much time doing so, and it's annoying. Thanks
[02:20] <zerboxx> neutrinomass: can you walk me through that please?
[02:20] <Sgeo> Also, sometimes, unless I start the kernel with ide=nodma, bootup freezes
[02:20] <neutrinomass> zerboxx: It has happened to me a couple of times. fsck would scan the drive but refuse to fix it automatically.
[02:20] <kristian> now
[02:20] <kristian> check again?
[02:20] <neutrinomass> zerboxx: I'll try to but not sure :)
[02:20] <Sgeo> After I use ide=nodma, next bootups work better
[02:20] <Sgeo> Even without ide=nodma
[02:20] <farous> kristian: hopefully
[02:21] <kristian> nope
[02:21] <kristian> the same shit
[02:21] <zerboxx> neutrinomass: heh ok let me take some looks myself
[02:21] <Sgeo> With ide=nodma, EVMS takes an _extremely_ long time
[02:21] <kristian> mesa
[02:21] <farous> kristian: post your xorg.conf file
[02:21] <kristian> whaeeee!!!:P
[02:21] <Sgeo> Without it, it just takes a long time
[02:21] <kristian> enter d code :P
[02:21] <kristian> the
[02:21] <Sgeo> Any help?
[02:21] <zerboxx> neutrinomass: well it's started...
[02:21] <funky> I got it
[02:21] <neutrinomass> zerboxx: try "fsck -a /dev/hda1", replacing /dev/hda1 with your partition ...
[02:21] <funky> if anyone else its interested deb http://kubuntu.org/packages/amarok-14 dapper main
[02:22] <zerboxx> neutrinomass: I did "sudo fsck"
[02:22] <neutrinomass> zerboxx: And ?
[02:22] <farous> kristian: it is located at /etc/X11/ the file name is xorg.conf
[02:22] <zerboxx> neutrinomass: it now says "Deleted inode 163848 has zero dtime. Fix (Y)?"
[02:22] <kristian> yes, thx
[02:23] <fluxy> Is there a way to stop ubuntu from doing disk/filesystem checks at the start? It takes way too much time doing so, and it's annoying. Thanks
[02:23] <gore_> how do I change my boot splash screen?
[02:23] <neutrinomass> zerboxx: Well, I'm not quite sure. I usually run fsck with the -a option (to fix everything automatically)
[02:23] <kristian> sudo /etc/x11/xorg.conf ?
[02:23] <zerboxx> neutrinomass: know if I can just...stop this fsck?
[02:24] <farous> kristian: gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:24] <neutrinomass> zerboxx: The fsck man page says to use -a with caution, but frankly, I have no idea why one would not want to fix it
[02:24] <neutrinomass> zerboxx: Not sure, but probably yes. let me check the man apge ...
[02:24] <farous> then copy and paste to the pastebin

[02:25] <farous> kristian: and it can not be blank :)
[02:25] <zerboxx> neutrinomass: well if you're going down, I'll go down with you!
[02:25] <kwjp> I think I've fixed it.. I had to use grub to boot into recovery mode so I could alter the conf file. Thank you everyone for your help!
[02:25] <BrianHH> If I mount my NTFS drive with umask=000 (to make it read/write, from what I can tell from the page troughton pointed me to), will Bad Things happen?

[02:32] <Pecisk> hunla: wait a sec
[02:32] <Pecisk> hunla: possibly there are already modules
[02:32] <tanlaan> any help would be awesome
[02:32] <uwe> well, matze_at_lunch , thoreauputic, neutrinomass , for some reason its the RAID config ... it was RAID 5 , i tried RAID 0 and its very fast now
[02:33] <SVisor> Is FreeNode still owned?
[02:33] <hwilde> tanlaan, you don't have "yacc" installed.
[02:33] <hunla> hmm
[02:33] <uwe> strange ...
[02:33] <tanlaan> ok ill go install that :D
[02:33] <hwilde> tanlaan, see lines 143, 144, make: yacc: Command not found
[02:34] <tanlaan> yea i see that
[02:34] <neutrinomass> zerboxx: It's sad how often HDDs die nowadays :(
[02:34] <neutrinomass> uwe: Glad you figured it out :)
[02:34] <hwilde> neutrinomass, zerboxx, SeaGate is the world's leading harddrive manufacturer.
[02:35] <BCK14> hwilde: doesnt mean there the best, i mean microsoft are the worlds operating system leaders
[02:36] <Answer> BCK14, Seagates are the best harddrives
[02:36] <BCK14> id say western digital are quite good
[02:36] <tanlaan> i cant find yacc in synaptic
[02:36] <BCK14> Answer: personal opinion :)
[02:36] <Juhaz> there's no such thing as "best" in hard drives, or anything for that matter.
[02:36] <hunla> Pecisk: :/
[02:36] <tanlaan> i found cl-yacc
[02:36] <BCK14> Juhaz: totally agree
[02:36] <tanlaan> and a few others that are kinda like that
[02:37] <neutrinomass> hwilde: (just mentioning it, this is not the place to discuss it) I got an 160GB Seagate drive that failed 3 months after purchase. It's circumstancial evidence, agreed, but I'm no longer that fond of Seagate.
[02:37] <SVisor> Juhaz: But there are some should avoid (like IBM DeathStar a few years back).
[02:37] <zerboxx> Juhaz: true, though seagate has many pluses, especially for laptops: largest size (160Gig), coolest (in comparison to same sizes), power consumption, etc
[02:37] <Answer> tanlaan, how about  http://www.grendelproject.nl/dyacclex/
[02:38] <Juhaz> SVisor, yes, but just a brand doesn't help with that, it's useless overgeneralization - ibm had good drives too, and seagate has had bad drives as well
[02:38] <Raito> How do you download (and/or setup) ALSA and OSS sound drivers?
[02:38] <Answer> ibm sux, seagate rules.
[02:39] <xst> After upgrading to dapper my firefox has begun freeze quite often. I think it might have something to do with flash usage cause e.g. youtube.com freezes very often, while non-flash sites have less potential to freeze. Has anyone experienced the same increase in freezes? And how do I fix it?
[02:39] <SVisor> Juhaz: Before the DeathStar serie I bought and recommended IBM. Nowadays I say Seagate.
[02:39] <Pecisk> hunla: as far as I have searched, there are Ubuntu package for driver sources, which you propably should use, for compatiblity with kernel. Although I can't find already compiled kernel, sorry :( Maybe try your luck at Ubuntu Forums
[02:39] <hunla> thankys anyway.
[02:40] <hunla> bye
[02:40] <Juhaz> IBM doesn't even make hard drives any more, but I haven't had any negative experiences with hitachi, who bought their HD unit
[02:41] <pvd> Anyone ever tried the hdparm -u 1 option?
[02:42] <bcroq> hi all
[02:42] <xice> guys: whats the nvidia equalavent of "256MB ATI Mobility Radeon X1400" i only speak NViDIA
[02:42] <bcroq> do you know how to tell the live CD the X resolution you want to use?
[02:42] <Juhaz> SVisor, you'll run out of manufacturers to recommend, eventually, if you switch every time one happens to break :)
[02:43] <Raito> How do you download other sound drivers? I think that is my problem. I need ALSA and OSS. (I got libsdl1.2debian-all) But that doesn't seem to work (i had it all along) Do I need to do anything to set it up?
[02:43] <Answer> xice, a 256mb nvidia laptop video card
[02:43] <xice> ;p
[02:43] <xice> not really, i mean like a 7600?
[02:43] <Answer> xice, go look up the pricing on the ati and find a comparable nvidia
[02:44] <Lobster> ahoi
[02:45] <SVisor> Juhaz: Hmm been quite happy with Seagate (HD), LG (CD/DVD), Samsung (Laser printers. Even thou mine is giving up, just 6 months old), Epson (inkjet). In the good old days I said IBM (if SCSI) Seagate else... now its Seagate all the way. So this far Im only dropped IBM (and Hitachi) as HD manufacturer.
[02:46] <`4G|HaZ> wheres the best place on how to use linux from the beginning
[02:46] <Raito> ubuntu documentation (I guess)
[02:47] <SVisor> `4G|HaZ: Just play around and ask when RTFM,man,info and common sense fails.
[02:48] <`4G|HaZ> k then
[02:48] <`4G|HaZ> =]
[02:48] <s-toned> If anyone has a recommendation for a video card with DVI, very good image quality and xinerama, and working with x.org 7 then I'd be happy to read it.
[02:49] <Chameleon22> i want to use a local imap server as an email backup storage - can anyone suggest pkgs i need for ubuntu server to set it up (to avoid googling like crazzy) plz...
[02:50] <whyami> I am a bit confused about users and groups. Isn't it the case that I as a user can run an application which will then run as perhaps a different user? How is this set up?
[02:50] <NickGarvey> whyami: all users belong to one or more groups
[02:51] <SVisor> Got my ATI9600 working. Not with the open drivers, they locked the computer hard when DRI was invoked. But with the proprietary drivers (not to 100% but near enough).
[02:51] <NickGarvey> whyami: in privileges, the middle 3 set of letters is the permission for the group who owsn the file
[02:51] <NickGarvey> whyami: so you can have it so one person can edit the file, but a group of people can read and execute the file
[02:52] <azertyuuu> hey all, i used to get access to my routersettings, but I can't enter it anymore in Linux. Windows works fine (in Opera as in FF)). Any firewall is disabled. Help !
[02:52] <Answer> Chameleon22, there are many imap servers... courier, cyrus.  there are other utilities that might do what you want, like "imapsync"
[02:53] <whyami> NickGarvey: isn't it the case though that I can run an app as a user but the app itself will run as a different user?
[02:53] <Chameleon22> Answer, which one would you recommend ... most common one
[02:53] <SVisor> whyami: I think you are asking about sticky bits.
[02:53] <SVisor> http://www.zzee.com/solutions/unix-permissions.shtml#setuid
[02:54] <Answer> Chameleon22, I haven't tried either personally, or taken a survey of all the users
[02:54] <Chameleon22> Answer, k
[02:54] <Chameleon22> Answer, thanks any way :)
[02:55] <Answer> Chameleon22, courier is version 3.0.8 and cyrus is 2.1.1.  they are both ubuntu approved
[02:55] <Chameleon22> checking them out now..
[02:56] <Answer> Chameleon22, you might be able to just use the utility "imapsync"
[02:56] <blakkino> azertyuuu, you didn't provide any information in your requewst
[02:56] <blakkino> => no reply
[02:56] <osfameron> where can I get drivers for Panasonic DV camcorder?
[02:56] <osfameron> or alternaitvely do something useful for it without drivers?
[02:56] <Chameleon22> Answer, whats that?
[02:56] <SVisor> ubotu: are you alive
[02:57] <NickGarvey> !help
[02:57] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot.  It might be related to what I am asking. When I type "ps aux" I see a bunch of processes belonging to various users: dhcp, daemon, nobody... how do these get assigned to these groups?
[02:58] <NickGarvey> SVisor: yeah, its strange
[02:58] <NickGarvey> ubotu: help
[02:58] <NickGarvey> SVisor: no idea..
[02:58] <Chameleon22> Answer, dont think it will though. I have bunch of accounts that are pop etc from various servers agregated into one download - so what i want is a way to "drag" it over to a special folder that will act as a mirror so to speak and reside on backup server
[02:59] <tanlaan> does anyone know a very easy/simple way to install yacc?
[03:01] <monkkey> hi guys,, i have installed a new hard drive on my dual boot sys, format with fat 32. windows reads/writes fine, ubuntu will no longer boot, mounting filesys and then waiting for file sys, boots no further
[03:02] <SVisor> whyami: The USER is the user that started the application (root in most cases). Sometimes (some apps) lower their permissions by taking some other identify.
[03:02] <tanlaan> does anyone know a very easy/simple way to install yacc?
[03:03] <monkkey> whats yacc?

[03:03] <tanlaan> idk but its needed for me to install another program
[03:03] <Nemphilis> g
[03:03] <NickGarvey> MikkelRev: /WINDOWS/Program Files/Internet Explorer/iexplore.exe

Ubuntu is installed on the sata HDD. It recognises the ntfs partitions on sata and loads them. I have a ufs partition on the ata hdd, what is the mount command to load it?
[03:06] <xice> Digg.com is down !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get Ready for Awesomeness!!!!! V3 out any minute
[03:06] <monomaniacpat> how do you edit keyboard settings in KDE?

[03:06] <Hobbsee> xice: --> offtopic
[03:08] <The_Guardian> Can someone help me find a good C++ compiler for dapper?
[03:08] <The_Guardian> I'm having no luck finding grasshopper
[03:08] <MikkelRev> NickGarvey: thanks, but it didnt work. It came up with some weird errors, like here http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16546
[03:09] <SVisor> Whats wrong with gcc (g++)?
[03:09] <NickGarvey> MikkelRev: yeah, didn't work for me either
[03:09] <Hobbsee> The_Guardian: try g++ blah.cpp -o outputfilename
[03:09] <NickGarvey> MikkelRev: installed windows XP in vmware and that works fine though
[03:09] <Hobbsee> The_Guardian: also, kate or gedit are quite good
[03:10] <monomaniacpat> !keyboard
[03:10] <ubotu> Keyboard shortcuts can be set in system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts (Gnome) or "input actions" in Kcontrol (KDE). If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try keytouch - http://keytouch.sourceforge.net
[03:10] <jrib> SVisor: what do you mean?
[03:10] <neosc> anybody?
[03:10] <neosc> I have 2 had disks and a dvdrom as fllows.. i sata hdd connected to the sata port, dvdrom as master IDE, 2nd ata hard disk as slave IDE. Ubuntu is installed on the sata HDD. It recognises the ntfs partitions on sata and loads them. I have a ufs partition on the ata hdd, what is the mount command to load it?
[03:10] <NickGarvey> Hobbsee: kate can compile C++?
[03:10] <Hobbsee> NickGarvey: yeah, i'ts got a terminal window down the bottom, and you use g++.  kdevelop3 is also quite good.
[03:10] <SVisor> jrib: Mean about what?
[03:10] <NickGarvey> Hobbsee: thats pretty sweet
[03:10] <NickGarvey> Hobbsee: thank you
[03:10] <Hobbsee> NickGarvey: yep :)
[03:10] <The_Guardian> iI thought gedit was just a text editor?
[03:10] <jrib> SVisor: "what's wrong with gcc (g++)?"
[03:11] <The_Guardian> gcc is what I was using, but I keep getting not found errors for everything
[03:11] <gnomefreak> anjuta too ;)
[03:11] <The_Guardian> and it doesn't make sense since I am pretty sure I have all the libraries installed
[03:11] <SVisor> jrib: Answer to The_Guardian about "good C++ compiler"
[03:11] <jrib> SVisor: oh I see...
[03:11] <MikkelRev> Anyone know how to start Internet Explorer from ubuntu? wine didnt work
[03:11] <gnomefreak> The_Guardian: sudo apt-get install build-essential if you havent already
[03:12] <NickGarvey> neosc: try fdisk -l to see where they all are, and then mount /dev/???? /mntpoint
[03:12] <NickGarvey> MikkelRev: are you familiar with vmware?
[03:12] <gnomefreak> MikkelRev: its messy running IE under wine
[03:12] <The_Guardian> thanks gnome running it now :)
[03:12] <gnomefreak> The_Guardian: that should give you everything you need to compile ;)
[03:12] <The_Guardian> it's so nice having a root terminal for ubuntu now
[03:13] <The_Guardian> typing sudo infront of everything was driving me nuts
[03:13] <gnomefreak> The_Guardian: theres always been one in applications>system tools
[03:13] <MikkelRev> NickGarvey: apt-get install vmware: could not find package
[03:13] <NickGarvey> MikkelRev: heh, not that easy
[03:13] <The_Guardian> aye I just recently found it gnome :)
[03:13] <ceztko> hi!
[03:13] <muhsin> hi
[03:13] <NickGarvey> MikkelRev: let me show you a screen shot of vmware
[03:13] <The_Guardian> and eep! why would you want to use IE? :(
[03:13] <gnomefreak> brb coffee and smoke
[03:14] <The_Guardian> that's as bad as enjoying killing babies (even though they taste like chicken)
[03:14] <MikkelRev> gnomefreak: sad, my mother is dependent on having Internet Explorer, she wont accept gnu until she can use IE
[03:14] <MikkelRev> NickGarvey: I know what it is
[03:14] <The_Guardian> mikkel I would suggest hypnotism
[03:14] <SVisor> MikkelRev: Tell her that Firefox is the _new_ IE!
[03:14] <ceztko>  ALL: what's the correct way of calculating an md5sum hash of multiple files (or of a directory)? I can't use tar.
[03:14] <The_Guardian> actually svisor he can take it one step further
[03:14] <The_Guardian> install IE icons over firefox :P
[03:15] <MikkelRev> SVisor: its about IE-only websites...
[03:15] <NickGarvey> !vmware
[03:15] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingVMWare
[03:15] <jrib> MikkelRev: which version of internet explorer did you try to use under wine?
[03:15] <The_Guardian> !winamp
[03:15] <ubotu> winamp is a windows music player. On Ubuntu you can use beep-media-player or xmms as alternative.
[03:16] <SVisor> I tried IE6 a long time ago in Wine, and it messed my Windows completely.
[03:16] <NickGarvey> !botsnack
[03:16] <ubotu> Yum!
[03:16] <The_Guardian> lmao
[03:16] <vincenz> Hello

[03:16] <vincenz> How do I check which application i using my soundcard?
[03:16] <vincenz> xmms won't play, keeps complainiing
[03:16] <MikkelRev> jrib: not sure as I cant check. Think its v6
[03:17] <ddonky> So how does one reset their nickserv password?
[03:17] <jrib> ddonky: /msg nickserv help set password
[03:17] <Hobbsee> ddonky: /msg nickserv help
[03:17] <The_Guardian> i'm having problems with some games not playing any sound with wine
[03:17] <jrib> vincenz: what output plugin are you using?
[03:17] <The_Guardian> especially shattered galaxy
[03:17] <ddonky> Hobsee - thanks
[03:18] <Pupeno> Any ideas how to turn a color pdf into a grayscale one ?
[03:18] <SVisor> If someone want to pose as me, let em. Ive so booring personality that no one wants to use it.
[03:18] <vincenz> jrib: ALSA
[03:18] <The_Guardian> yay my first program compiled =)
[03:18] <vincenz> jrib: funnily I started GAIM after (for irc) and it made a sound when I got a message
[03:18] <vincenz> so it can access sound
[03:19] <vincenz> jrib: I switched to eSound Output plugin, that seems to work
[03:19] <jrib> vincenz: should work with also too, but as long as you got it to work I guess that's good
[03:19] <vincenz> jrib: thx
[03:20] <vincenz> jrib: any way to type something in commandline to check alsa usage?
[03:20] <vincenz> jrib: usually it works fine
[03:20] <The_Guardian> to make the exe it's just link Hello.CPP Hello.exe right?
[03:20] <jrib> MikkelRev: you could try #winehq, or the wine site for some special instructions you might need for ie6
[03:20] <AJR1> how difficult is it to get windows games to run under ubuntu?
[03:20] <The_Guardian> not very
[03:20] <The_Guardian> just install the latest wine version
[03:20] <SVisor> The_Guardian: g++ hello.cpp -o hello.exe
[03:20] <Hobbsee> The_Guardian: g++ hello.cpp -o hello, yes
[03:20] <The_Guardian> most work pretty well
[03:20] <Hobbsee> SVisor: can you craete .exe files on linux?  nice
[03:20] <vincenz> The_Guardian: a) no, b) ask in #c++, c) if you don't specify the executable name, you should find it in "a.out"
[03:20] <AJR1> The_Guardian : how do i install wine through the sy packet man?
[03:21] <SVisor> Hobbsee: UNIX does not use extensions
[03:21] <Assemblor> hi - I am new to this - am trying to install the drivers for my nvidia card - have followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia but I cannot get it to work - I get an error: "Your X configuration has been altered"....can anyone help me?
[03:21] <Hobbsee> SVisor: i realise that, which is why it's usually created as a .bin file, i was wondering how you got the exe file
[03:21] <jrib> vincenz: there probably is a way, but I don't know it
[03:21] <SVisor> Hobbsee: This would work too: g++ hello.cpp -o hello.myextension
[03:22] <Hobbsee> SVisor: true
[03:22] <jbu> could someone of you compile zope2.9 on dapper? even an apt-get source zope2.9 and debuild -uc -us fails? am i missing something?
[03:22] <BCK14> in gnome is there anyway to specify a path for an application launcher?
[03:22] <jrib> jbu: did you do 'apt-get build-dep zope2.9' ?
[03:22] <BCK14> eg: /home/user  to execute ./run.py
[03:22] <jbu> jrib: yep!
[03:22] <MikkelRev> NickGarvey: "Firstly you need to buy a license to use the VMWARE.."
[03:23] <The_Guardian> AJRI: go to the wine website. It will direct you as to which repository you need to add.
[03:23] <jrib> BCK14: /home/user/run.py
[03:23] <The_Guardian> and give you a step by step on how to do so
[03:23] <NickGarvey> MikkelRev: no..
[03:23] <NickGarvey> MikkelRev: server is free now
[03:23] <SVisor> BCK14: 'cd /home/user & ./run.py' ... might actually work
[03:23] <The_Guardian> !winamp
[03:23] <jrib> BCK14: you just put the . because . is not in your $PATH
[03:23] <ubotu> winamp is a windows music player. On Ubuntu you can use beep-media-player or xmms as alternative.
[03:23] <AJR1> The_Guardian got a link plz?
[03:23] <The_Guardian> hmm which is better? beep or xmms?
[03:23] <BCK14> ok ty jrib :)
[03:23] <The_Guardian> !wine
[03:23] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[03:23] <jrib> The_Guardian: beep looks nicer
[03:24] <NickGarvey> MikkelRev: you need to do a 30 second survey.. but this is excellent software
[03:24] <The_Guardian> I love the ubuntu bot
[03:24] <The_Guardian> sooo useful
[03:24] <jrib> jbu: I'll try to compile
[03:24] <NickGarvey> MikkelRev: you need to have your windows disk to install windows to vmware also
[03:24] <Kenzu> hey.... where to start if I want to set up LTSP on dapper server?
[03:24] <jbu> jrib: thx a lot
[03:24] <Kenzu> Nothing special on the wiki
[03:25] <jrib> jbu: ha actually no I won't, because I'm on dialup and nit is 7mb sorry :)
[03:25] <AJR1> how do you message the bot in here?
[03:25] <jrib> AJR1: /msg ubotu blah
[03:25] <AJR1> jrib thanks
[03:25] <tijn> [15:25]  <ubotu> I know nothing about blah ;)
[03:25] <NickGarvey> Could someone with an account on the wiki update https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingVMWare, you don't need to purchase a licence to use server edition
[03:26] <jrib> jbu: maybe you can pastebin the output you get on http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[03:26] <jbu> jrib: ok.. I'll try it again... but the way is ok... isn't it? or do I have to do something else with ubuntu?
[03:26] <monomaniacpat> !keyboard
[03:26] <ubotu> Keyboard shortcuts can be set in system->preferences->keyboard shortcuts (Gnome) or "input actions" in Kcontrol (KDE). If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try keytouch - http://keytouch.sourceforge.net
[03:26] <jrib> jbu: that should be ok as long as you have 'build-essential'
[03:27] <NATnatic>  hello all... im struggling to get MonoDevelop to work under Ubuntu

[03:28] <Sgeo> !enigma
[03:28] <ubotu> I know nothing about enigma
[03:28] <jrib> NATnatic: any reason you aren't using the repositories?
[03:28] <systest> Where's the proper place to set a static route on boot? e.g. which config file?
[03:28] <nikusan> NATnatic, you should try installing in like: sudo apt-get install monodevelop
[03:28] <Sgeo> Why did the the Pentagonal Dreams song dissappear?
[03:30] <NATnatic> nikusan: well i tried installing it using Synaptic first but it crashed when i tried to open it... so i unistalled Mono & MonoDevelop and tried using the installer from www.mono-project.com
[03:30] <NATnatic> does Synaptic not just use apt-get gehind the scenes?

[03:37] <Mr_GTi> Hey i just recieved the live CD (Version 6.06 LTS 64 bit
[03:37] <NickGarvey> nice
[03:37] <Mr_GTi> and when i try to load the live CD i ghet an Xserve error
[03:37] <jrib> BCK14: you could use gksudo but you would get a password prompt everytime you logged into gnome
[03:37] <Mr_GTi> and it wont load....    :-(
[03:38] <jrib> BCK14: what are you trying to accomplish?
[03:38] <NET||abuse> stuipd xgl update,,, damn you...
[03:38] <NET||abuse> todays xgl-server update has nutted up my previously working xgl/compiz setup

[03:39] <Mr_GTi> AMD 64 3500+,   Abit RADEON X700pro, ABIT AN8 Motherboard
[03:39] <Mr_GTi> ABIT AN8 SLI*
[03:39] <BCK14> jrib: thats what i did in the end
[03:40] <BCK14> jrib: im running a script to update the database on my mp3 player, which is now working except the terminal closes before i can see the output
[03:40] <BCK14> which is a bit of a pain :(
[03:40] <Mr_GTi> By the way im a NOOBIE to Linux, (ubuntu)
[03:40] <jrib> BCK14: well you can pipe all the output to a file and read it afterwards
[03:41] <BCK14> ah how jrib ?
[03:41] <jrib> erm s/pipe/redirect
[03:41] <BCK14> at the end of the command?

[03:42] <jrib> BCK14: not sure if that works by adding it just to the gnome startup entry, but you could try.  You could also either a)figure out how to do it in python (I don't know) or b) write a shell script that calls your python script and sends the output to a file, #!... /home/user/run.py > /home/user/log
[03:43] <BCK14> hmm ok
[03:43] <BCK14> ill prob just put a wait in the python scripts :)
[03:44] <NickGarvey> time.sleep() ;)
[03:44] <yallaman> whats the best bittorrent app for linux?
[03:45] <Mr_GTi> Thanks for your help SVisor

[03:45] <Minty__> how do you have a program start when ubuntu starts such as networkselector ???
[03:45] <Mr_GTi> LAMO
[03:47] <Mr_GTi> Guess i will have to order Windows vista in the slight hope that it will be an improvment over XP
[03:47] <Mr_GTi> Beta 2
[03:48] <xophEr> yallaman, I like azureus the best, personal preference
[03:48] <SVisor> Mr_GTi: Cant help you with the live thingy.  Or maybe there is proprietary drivers for it.

[03:48] <ubotu> I know nothing about batman

[03:49] <Mr_GTi> Yeh
[03:49] <The_Guardian> the directions to install it aren't working

[03:53] <Lukkett0> ciao
[03:55] <The_Guardian> this is really odd
[03:55] <SVisor> ROBOd: Does Ubuntu have more than 386 and 64bit altenatives?
[03:55] <The_Guardian> I have java5-jre installed
[03:55] <ROBOd> SVisor: yeah

[03:58] <Jack1> Hobbsee i want to burn my /home folder now (thx it finally worked with the swap) and k3b  asks me "follow link now" or add symbolic link to project?

[04:01] <Jack1> so i am unsure with the options

[04:13] <NET||abuse> how can i roll back the last update to xgl-server
[04:14] <BhamGray> MikkelRev: If your existing XP instance was VM Ware then you can just move it's folder to Ubuntu. If it was just 'plain' XP install, then yes, you'll have to re-install XP
[04:14] <green_earz> ajayc: check http://ithacafreesoftware.org/Members/mitch/notebook/clone_partition/view  the section " Booting the cloned system "  should be of help to you
[04:14] <MikkelRev> BhamGray: my existing WinXP installation was a real installation on hdd that was installed even before ubuntu
[04:14] <SeanTater> NET||abuse: I know it's possible somehow, read the manual on apt
[04:14] <mp3guy> ok, SeanTaterm I'm done
[04:14] <SeanTater> mp3guy: okay
[04:14] <SeanTater> mp3guy: do you want a domain name?
[04:15] <yggdrasil> anything that can convert wma to mp3 in ubuntu?
[04:15] <mp3guy> no, ip will do SeanTater
[04:15] <BhamGray> MikkelRev: Then you'll have to reinstall - but you can back-up lots of stuff (settings, email, etc) so that the new instance isn't so vanilla
[04:15] <SeanTater> mp3guy: then try connecting to your computer through the internet
[04:15] <The_Guardian> odd I have frostwire installed
[04:15] <The_Guardian> but when I click on it nothing opens
[04:15] <NickGarvey> The_Guardian: try running from the command line so you can get error messages
[04:15] <mp3guy> its asking me for a username and password SeanTater
[04:16] <SeanTater> mp3guy: go to /var/www that's where your web pages should be
[04:16] <The_Guardian> bleh damn java error
[04:16] <MikkelRev> BhamGray: ok, thanks for the info. I've been using vmware years ago, and IIRC I could just load my existing windows copies
[04:16] <SeanTater> mp3guy: put something, anything there, just to make sure your server has something to serve
[04:17] <b33r> how to install genius TV tuner on ubuntu?

[04:17] <BhamGray> MikkelRev: I googled to find a way but couldn't - you might have better luck. But I don't think it's supported.
[04:17] <SeanTater> mp3guy: not unless you have php and need to deal with a database often
[04:18] <Amduscias> Hi all, anyone got some clue about the Nvidia Nforce Binarie Drivers.. i got some hassle here, which i'm unable to solve alone ;)
[04:18] <The_Guardian> !frostwire
[04:18] <ubotu> frostwire is a totally open source version of Limewire.  For installation help, please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FrostWire
[04:18] <SeanTater> ubotu tell Amduscias about nvidia
[04:18] <bsm> hi, my ubuntu system suddenly exchanged my two sound devices, whereas I disabled on in my bios (is probably a bug). is there a way to change them back?
[04:18] <SeanTater> Amduscias: is ubotu any help?
[04:19] <b33r> how to install Genius TV tuner on ubuntu??
[04:19] <SeanTater> b33r: no idea
[04:19] <SAM_theman> brb
[04:19] <b33r> :<
[04:19] <SeanTater> b33r: google will likely be more help than #ubuntu on that
[04:20] <Amduscias> SeanTater well should he query me something, or how should he be any help, without a response ;)
[04:20] <SeanTater> Amduscias: okay, how about now
[04:20] <SeanTater> !nvidia
[04:20] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:20] <yggdrasil> anything that can convert wma to mp3 in ubuntu?
[04:21] <The_Guardian> i'm still getting errors when trying to launch frostwire
[04:21] <The_Guardian> it's the java error i'm getting
[04:21] <jrib> The_Guardian: what are they?
[04:21] <Amduscias> thats better, thanks but i got the Graphics Drivers all Working, it'S releated the Sound drivers ;)
[04:21] <jrib> The_Guardian: can you pastebin them?
[04:21] <SeanTater> The_Guardian: got java installed?
[04:21] <bam__> SeanTater: Still cant get this to work.
[04:21] <The_Guardian> yeah I have sun-java5-jre
[04:21] <mp3guy> its still asking for a username and password SeanTater
[04:21] <SeanTater> Amduscias: I've heard a lot about that lately, but I know nothing about it]
[04:21] <The_Guardian> what do I do to pastebin?
[04:22] <Jack1> for the core duo centrino which kernel do i need? 686?
[04:22] <SeanTater> !pastebin
[04:22] <jrib> The_Guardian: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ just visit that site and copy and paste
[04:22] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[04:22] <bam__> SeanTater: Still cant get this to work.
[04:22] <SeanTater> Jack1: i686 will probably do well, besides if not, you can go back yo i386
[04:22] <Amduscias> SeanTater well they kompile with an error, and i don'T get anything usefull out of the logfile.. :( damn Nvidia! ;p
[04:22] <Niklas_E> is there someway you can compile the source for the X11 by yourself? perhaps apt-et source xserver-xorg and some other command?
[04:23] <SeanTater> mp3guy: do sudo apache2ctl restart
[04:23] <Jack1> thank you Seantater
[04:23] <SeanTater> Jack1: glad to be helpful
[04:24] <SeanTater> bam__: sorry
[04:24] <SeanTater> Amduscias: a better idea is to do it in the console
[04:24] <The_Guardian> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16551
[04:24] <SeanTater> Amduscias: do you know how?
[04:24] <nickwebcouk> hey folks, is there any way I can edit the SYstem menu for different users.. I dont want my little sisters wrecking things by clicking away..
[04:25] <The_Guardian> for the error i'm getting
[04:25] <ufk> what do i need to add to sources.list for rar/unrar?
[04:25] <jrib> ufk: multiverse
[04:25] <Amduscias> yeah SeanTater i done it in the console mind if i pastebin the logfile? ;)
[04:25] <The_Guardian> nick
[04:25] <wootin> anyone installed ubuntu to a software raid ie /dev/md0
[04:25] <The_Guardian> use a hammer and break their fingers
[04:25] <SeanTater> nickwebcouk:  how about making another user for your sisters, and not giving them permission to use sudo, so thay cannot inflict permanant changes with root?
[04:25] <The_Guardian> then they lack the ability to click!
[04:26] <The_Guardian> well what sean says works too :(
[04:26] <NET||abuse> does anyone use an eidtor that handles ftp directly?
[04:26] <jrib> The_Guardian: frostwire provides a debian/ubuntu deb, use that instead
[04:26] <NET||abuse> i'm looking at kate
[04:26] <NET||abuse> doesn't seem to have support
[04:26] <SeanTater> nickwebcouk: for changing sudo permissions, use /etc/sudoers
[04:26] <SeanTater> The_Guardian: I still think yours is more fool-proof
[04:26] <The_Guardian> lol true
[04:27] <mp3guy> SeanTater, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16552
[04:27] <Moodles> is it possible, to resize an existing EXT3 partitioned drive? it's 250gb and I want to make it smaller to 242gb
[04:27] <NET||abuse> has anyone used jedit?
[04:27] <SeanTater> NET||abuse: what problems are you having, it uses KDE's i/o system, so it should handle it quite well
[04:27] <NET||abuse> i'm on gnome
[04:27] <mp3guy> Moodles, you can resize ext3 non-destructively with gparted
[04:28] <green_earz> nickwebcouk: have a look at icewm for your sister desktop. its very configable
[04:28] <ufk> ok i found there unrar-free, but i can't find rar.
[04:28] <nickwebcouk> SeanTater, yeah, i'v already done that, but I want to remove the temptation for them even more..
[04:28] <SeanTater> mp3guy: sounds good, what's the output of pidof apache2 ; pidofhttpd
[04:28] <NET||abuse> SeanTater, and one thing i've done is using places Connect to server, when yo right click and open file in gedit,, you can't save changes
[04:28] <Aeo> When dual-booting XP and Ubuntu, is it possible to have GRUB automatically load XP without prompting, but go to the boot menu upon a key-press?
[04:29] <Aeo> I don't want my family to have to bother with another screen when starting up, just powering on is difficult enough for them.
[04:29] <Moodles> mp3guy: does the 5.10 ubuntu cd have 'gparted'?
[04:29] <NickGarvey> aeo: yes
[04:29] <NickGarvey> aeo: let me find the line
[04:29] <mp3guy> Yes Moodles]
[04:29] <SeanTater> nickwebcouk: you chould take another idea and make sure they lack permissions to read, write, or execute any important files you have
[04:29] <Aeo> NickGarvey: Thanks.
[04:29] <NickGarvey> aeo: timeout         0
[04:30] <NickGarvey> aeo: change timeout         10 or whatever to 0
[04:30] <SeanTater> nickwebcouk: it;s probably also possiblt to remove some of the control systems from the menu and panel
[04:30] <NickGarvey> aeo: and set the default to the line where windows is
[04:30] <NickGarvey> aeo: place holders count as lines! and the first line is 0
[04:30] <NickGarvey> aeo: hold esc otherwise
[04:30] <nickwebcouk> SeanTater, yeh, thats what I  was looking to do..
[04:30] <NickGarvey> aeo: and you will get the window
[04:31] <NickGarvey> aeo: here, pastebin menu.lst and I'll do it for you
[04:31] <SeanTater> nickwebcouk: right click the things on the panel you don;t want them to have and remove
[04:31] <mp3guy> SeanTater, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16553
[04:31] <NET||abuse> hmm, export for my proxy isn't right,,, should just be
[04:31] <nickwebcouk> ahh
[04:31] <Aeo> NickGarvey: Thanks a bunch, but I don't have Ubuntu installed yet. I spent last weekend trying to get it to boot to Ubuntu only if a certain floppy were in the system.
[04:31] <nickwebcouk> i cant believe it was that simple..
[04:32] <SeanTater> NickGarvey: hold on  -- your using gnome, right ,, I was prepared for kde, you're going to have to keep asking for gnome
[04:32] <NET||abuse> export http_proxy user:pass@proxyip:proxyport
[04:32] <NickGarvey> aeo: oh heh
[04:32] <NET||abuse> is that right?
[04:32] <nickwebcouk> right, im off to stop my sisters doing anything on the pc. :P
[04:32] <nickwebcouk> thank u!
[04:32] <NickGarvey> SeanTater: ?
[04:32] <SeanTater> NickGarvey: oops -- wrong person
[04:32] <NickGarvey> SeanTater: i use kde
[04:32] <NickGarvey> oh
[04:32] <NickGarvey> :)
[04:32] <SeanTater> NickGarvey: oh well, he already fixed it anyway
[04:32] <Aeo> NickGarvey: I'll try what you said. Where is the file I should be changing?
[04:32] <NickGarvey> SeanTater: okie
[04:32] <Diakonoi> Hello, guys. Can anyone refer me to a noob-friendly site that can explain the basics of using Ubuntu Linux as my primary OS, including how to install programs from the source code? I'm very new to Linux, so I'm afraid I don't know hardly anything.
[04:32] <NickGarvey> aeo: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:33] <NET||abuse> i do my exoprt http_proxy and it says `http-proxy` : not a valid identifier?? what is the right variable to specify here?
[04:33] <NickGarvey> aeo: but ubuntu likes to put the line "Other operating systems:", you need to remember that counts
[04:33] <ufk> do i need to change universe to multiverse in sources.list or do i need to add both?
[04:33] <NickGarvey> aeo: think you should set default to.. 3.. I think
[04:33] <Aeo> NickGarvey: Thanks. I'll return if unsuccessful. :D
[04:33] <NickGarvey> aeo: if windows is the 4th one down
[04:33] <NickGarvey> aeo: :) ok
[04:34] <freezey> i am lookin for a form of a HTTP FS or even a VFS i want people to be able to login and retrieve files and have certain permissions to see certain files... any1 know nething good?
[04:34] <SeanTater> mp3guy: phooey -- I managed to get both commands wrong, anyway, howe3ver you like, make sure apache2 or httpd is running
[04:34] <Aeo> NickGarvey: One last thing. When I want to boot to Ubuntu, you said I should hold down Esc?
[04:34] <mp3guy> SeanTater, how do I start either of them
[04:34] <SeanTater> freezey: ssh is really good for what you had said, ftp's not bad either, but http is probably least suited
[04:35] <Diakonoi> Can anyone help me, please?
[04:35] <SeanTater> mp3guy: sudo apache2ctl start <- starts apache2
[04:35] <SeanTater> !helpme > Diakonoi
[04:35] <TrioTorus> freezey, webdav?
[04:35] <Aeo> NickGarvey?
[04:35] <Quiznos> freezey ftp via http?  do you mean ftp-anchors on http pages?
[04:35] <freezey> seantater: yeah but i am sayin i need it to be user friendly because alot of people are stupid u know what i am sayin? and i need it to update on its own
[04:35] <The_Guardian> even with the debian install
[04:35] <The_Guardian> getting the same error
[04:35] <freezey> quiznos: not sure what that is
[04:35] <freezey> triotorus: whats that
[04:35] <finalbeta> How can I repair a corrupted fat32 partition? can't mount it.
[04:36] <Quiznos> freezey ok, thenyou're not ready to do what you want to do.
[04:36] <TrioTorus> freezey, it's file tranfer over http. read and write www.webdav.org
[04:36] <SeanTater> freezey: konqueror and kde's i/o handles ssh almost as simply as http, same with ftp
[04:36] <mp3guy> ok, SeanTater, going to http://<IP_ADDRESS>/index.htm gives me my page, but going to my external IP still askes for a username and password
[04:36] <Paladine> yellow :)

[04:36] <Quiznos> Paladine magenta
[04:36] <Diakonoi> I need a noob-friendly guide to using Ubuntu Linux as my primary operating systems, and doing thing such as installing programs from the source code in Linux. I'm very new to using alternative OSes.

[04:39] <SeanTater> freezey: there is also filezilla for windows
[04:39] <Paladine> to be honest it might already be working, Idon't know how to test it
[04:39] <MadMerC> hi guys can anyone tell me how to find my external ip ???
[04:39] <freezey> SeanTater: like i was using phpgroupware but there is noway to upload to it realtime every file had to be put there manually
[04:39] <Quiznos> MadMerC ifconfig -a |less
[04:39] <Paladine> is there an app to test sound channels?
[04:39] <Quiznos> cat
[04:39] <jrib> MadMerC: whatismy.org
[04:39] <freezey> SeanTater: but other than that it did everything i needed it to do it was an online file manager that i had to run apache sql and php for it to run
[04:40] <ani_gfu> neutrinomass: hey. got the mouse working. but the net wont work now. *sigh*
[04:40] <jrib> MadMerC: whatismyip.org
[04:40] <SeanTater> mp3guy: I don;t know that much, it;s all in your router configuration
[04:40] <lotheac> Paladine: speaker-test
[04:40] <Paladine> thanks loth
[04:40] <SeanTater> mp3guy: sorry
[04:40] <freezey> seantater: i just needed sumthin that would give certain users certain permissions to see files and i would be able to write a script bash or batch  that would update realtime
[04:40] <jrib> MadMerC: hmm that seems to be down now, try whatismyip.com instead
[04:40] <lotheac> well, speaker-test -c6 -Dplug:surround51, actually... for me anyway
[04:40] <NET||abuse> emmm, umm
[04:40] <NET||abuse> hehe, whatismyip.org got my LAN ip
[04:40] <NET||abuse> how the hell??
[04:41] <tijn> wtf???
[04:41] <SeanTater> freezey: okay, are you using this on linux or windows or both?
[04:41] <CarlFK> and my other problem: apt-get build-dep wine = Package libicu28-dev has no installation candidate
[04:41] <Dr34mC0d3r> ubuntu 6.06 (new install) - I login and type mail - no mail for chris. yet i cd to /home/chris/Maildir/new and see a butt load of mail even for today....  how can i fix this so that I can login and type mail and read my mail.
[04:41] <freezey> seantater: both
[04:41] <ufk> what mirror can i use instead of us.archive.ubuntu.com ?
[04:41] <Quiznos> ca.archive?
[04:41] <freezey> seantater: but if nething most of the files are comin from a windows machine
[04:41] <freezey> seantater: so i will just run the whole thing on that
[04:41] <Quiznos> ufk find the mirrors list
[04:41] <mp3guy> SeanTater, would it have anything to do with the route table/default gateway?
[04:41] <The_Guardian> I'm getting http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16554 when I try to ./runFrost.sh
[04:41] <MadMerC> what im trying to do is make a superkaramba theme show my external ip the script only shows my network ip
[04:42] <Diakonoi> Also, can someone please find a way to explain (in noob terms) how I would install and use this:http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/ on Ubuntu Lniux 5.10? I've looked at the wiki and everything, but it's all so confusing for me.
[04:42] <The_Guardian> even though I have sun-java5-jre
[04:42] <SeanTater> freezey: well, ftp still fits your bill exactly, but ssh needs 100% linux, or at least mostly linux
[04:42] <SeanTater> mp3guy: sounds to me like it, try it
[04:42] <trygvebw> Any reason why i can't uninstall Firefox (i want to replace it with SeaMonkey) without having to uninstall gnome-app-install and yelp?
[04:42] <chacara> i need stop TOR + Privoxy in my LAN, anybody have a good idea?
[04:42] <SeanTater> mp3guy: remember what you're doing so you can un-do it if necessary
[04:42] <tijn> trygvebw: apt-get remove --purge firefox
[04:42] <trygvebw> tijn: won't that create lots of dependency problems?
[04:42] <freezey> seantater: the thing is i am going to have like 50 year old men or women and lawyers logging in so u gotta act like 3 year olds are using
[04:43] <burepe> !restricted formats

[04:43] <tijn> trygvebw: afaik, nope
[04:43] <trygvebw> okay..
[04:43] <tijn> but
[04:43] <tijn> iam not 100% sure
[04:43] <SeanTater> freezey: you can set up http with htaccess, thast would work, but it tedius, slow, and only downloads, no uploads
[04:43] <tijn> ive done it a lot of times with no problems
[04:43] <trygvebw> tijn: it still wants to remove yelp and gnome-app-install
[04:43] <Paladine> lotheac, speaker-test with no args just sends white noise to front right and left (nothing on center or rear channels) and using the -c6 etc args gives a shed load of errors hehe
[04:43] <MadMerC> is there a command that will show mre my external ip when im behind a router ??
[04:44] <tijn> trygvebw: thats wierd
[04:44] <SeanTater> freezey: an idea
[04:44] <TrioTorus> freezey, webdav is integrated in XP, so to your clients webdav will look exactly like any other folder on your desktop
[04:44] <freezey> seantater: thats what i want they can not upload
[04:44] <scott> can aon yoen suggest a program to deal with/mount .ccd or .img files??
[04:44] <SeanTater> freezey: does rsync or anything compatible work on windows?
[04:44] <scott> *anyone
[04:44] <freezey> seantater: not sure
[04:44] <tijn> SeanTater: mount a windows share as samba
[04:44] <Quiznos> man it's fast and furious here
[04:44] <freezey> triotorus: does webdav sound like what i am lookin for?
[04:44] <SeanTater> freezey: but they would have to dowload the files one at time -- tedoiusness at it's worst
[04:45] <apostols> Hi
[04:45] <freezey> seantater: i can careless about them lol as long as its up and running
[04:45] <TrioTorus> freezey, ftp will do too, but your clients will need an ftp client wich for seniors is confusing
[04:45] <freezey> seantater: my main thing is i want it to upload realtime so i don;t have to manually do it... i want it done at a certain time everyday
[04:45] <Quiznos> a web browser can do ftp
[04:45] <apostols> Where can i download enlightenment 17 for ubuntu Dapper Drake?
[04:45] <TrioTorus> freezey, this is what they will have to do http://www.ed.uiuc.edu/oet/network/webdavwinXP.html
[04:45] <lotheac> Paladine: what errors?
[04:45] <freezey> seantater: but a script can take care of that
[04:46] <erirlar> hi, how do i restart the network? (like windows has "ipconfig /release")
[04:46] <Paladine> loth, a whole bunch, I ^c'd out but here is the last couple
[04:46] <Paladine> ALSA lib conf.c:3951:(snd_config_expand) Args evaluate error: No such file or directory
[04:46] <Paladine> ALSA lib pcm.c:2102:(snd_pcm_open_noupdate) Unknown PCM surround51
[04:46] <Paladine> Playback open error: -2,No such file or directory
[04:46] <mp3guy> Thanks for taking me this far anyway seantater
[04:46] <SeanTater> freezey: what's wrong with windows networking anyway, (can a batch file not handle that)?
[04:46] <Quiznos> cr3
[04:46] <freezey> triotorus: i am trying outside clients to get the files
[04:46] <cr3> Quiznos: yo?
[04:46] <SeanTater> mp3guy: sorry I can;t take you further
[04:46] <Quiznos> cr3
[04:47] <freezey> seantater: i am trying to get outside clients to retrieve files
[04:47] <The_Guardian> anyone here familiar with packet analysis?
[04:47] <freezey> seantater: like phpgroupware was perfect for me but  i can'
[04:47] <SeanTater> freezey: ah -- so it;s outside the local net
[04:47] <freezey> i can't upload if its not done manually
[04:47] <lotheac> Paladine: maybe try without the -D part.
[04:47] <freezey> seantater: yeah outside the localnet
[04:47] <SeanTater> freezey: well
[04:48] <TrioTorus> freezey, yes, no problem with webdav. If your clients have internet acces on port 80, they can handle webdav.
[04:48] <TrioTorus> SeanTater, u familiar with webdav? Is that what freezey is looking for?
[04:48] <freezey> triotorus: yeah but i don't want them using an FTP client... it can be just regular webaccess
[04:49] <SeanTater> TrioTorus: never used it
[04:49] <Paladine> loth ok that worked to some degree, I am getting sound on all channels except front centre
[04:49] <b33r> buhh cant find anythin how to install my tv tuner on ubuntu :<
[04:49] <cormano> hi
[04:49] <TrioTorus> freezey, well, just take a minute to read webdav. It sounds like it is exactly what you want
[04:49] <scott> can anyone suggest a program to deal with/mount .ccd or .img files??
[04:49] <SeanTater> TrioTorus: heard a bit about it, but not enough to suggest it, all he wants is to up/download uding windows outside the local net
[04:49] <freezey> triotorus: i need it to have specific file permissions when users login also so lets see
[04:50] <TrioTorus> freezey, SeanTater webdav offers that
[04:50] <Paladine> it seems to be sending center to the rear left speaker
[04:50] <SeanTater> TrioTorus: then it's good
[04:50] <SeanTater> TrioTorus: tell him, not me
[04:50] <neutrinomass> ani_gfu: How did you get the mouse to work ?
[04:50] <ruxpin^> where do I find a list of all installed packages?
[04:51] <rpedro> scott: bchunk works with bin/cue
[04:51] <TrioTorus> sorry
[04:51] <cormano> anyone got to apply and recompile this kernel patch:  http://linux-phc.sourceforge.net/     ?
[04:51] <neutrinomass> ani_gfu: How do you connect to the net ?
[04:51] <ruxpin^> b33r: dvb?
[04:51] <cormano> to standard dapper kernel
[04:51] <scott> rpedro, i need to be able to deal with/convert .ccd or .img
[04:51] <b33r> ruxpin, what's dvb? :S
[04:51] <rpedro> scott: don't know about .ccd/.img, google may help
[04:51] <BCK14> how would i find out where synaptic installed padjoy ?
[04:51] <TrioTorus> freezey, just check out www.webdav.org for a minute. You have to set up an webserver, but that is easy.
[04:51] <SeanTater> ruxpin^:  type into a terminal: dpkg -l
[04:52] <Quiznos> dvb = digital video broadcasting
[04:52] <scott> rpedro, searched and couldnt find any hat would a) install or b) compile within dapper
[04:52] <b33r> oh :/
[04:52] <rpedro> scott: those are clonecd images right?
[04:52] <scott> rpedro, yes
[04:53] <lotheac> Paladine: it does that to me too, but -Dplug:surround51 fixes it. I'm not sure why you don't have that device.
[04:53] <Paladine> k loth, here is what it is doing:  Front Right = OK, Front Left =OK, Center = Rear Left (!ok), LFE= Rear Right, Rear Right = Nothing and Rear Left = Nothing
[04:53] <Moodles> mp3guy: thanks, gparted is working like a charm
[04:53] <The_Guardian> yay got frostwire working
[04:53] <BCK14> how would i find out where synaptic installed padjoy ?
[04:53] <The_Guardian> it needed the plugin also
[04:53] <gambi> is it possible to activate the dir_index option in ext3-fs afterwards, or do i have to rebuild my partition?
[04:54] <jrib> BCK14: dpkg -L padjoy
[04:55] <mjr> gambi, it is possible. Old data will remain nonindexed, but you can do e2fsck -D to change that
[04:55] <Paladine> whats LFE incidentally?
[04:55] <BCK14> jrib: aparently u can see in synaptic too :d
[04:55] <lotheac> Paladine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LFE ;)
[04:55] <gambi> mjr, thx
[04:56] <Paladine> ah right so it should be sending LFE to the woofer
[04:56] <Amduscias> Hi all, anyone got some clue about the Nvidia Nforce Binarie Drivers (Audio).. i got some hassle here, which i'm unable to solve alone ;)

[04:56] <Quiznos> pastebin.com
[04:56] <Quiznos> what kind of posts

[04:57] <Minty__> pstebin was what I was looking for, thankyou
[04:57] <Paladine> it works fine in windows
[04:57] <Quiznos> yw

[04:58] <cisa> is nvidia-glx broken? http://pastebin.de/8081
[04:58] <AJR1> like if i know someones username can i find out where they are on IRC?
[04:58] <maddy> AJR1,  do u know the nickname?
[04:58] <rpedro> scott: it's not available as a deb package, you will need to compile it
[04:58] <maddy> ues
[04:58] <AJR1> maddy : how?
[04:58] <maddy> AJR1,  /whois nickname
[04:58] <AJR1> maddy : thanks :)
[04:58] <Paladine> loth, I just checked the back panel, I have leads going into bass/center, front and rear
[04:58] <Quiznos> AJR1 the usermoe +i prevents one from seeing a user's channel list
[04:58] <Quiznos> usermode
[04:58] <Paladine> nothing in mic, line in or side
[04:58] <AJR1> Quiznos : ah thanks

[04:59] <maddy> AJR1,  and then look in the server window :)
[04:59] <Quiznos> AJR1 but you can always /msg them
[04:59] <AJR1> maddy : thanks :)
[04:59] <AJR1> Quiznos : i have no idea where on IRC they are i just know their username
[04:59] <Quiznos> AJR1 then just msg them
[04:59] <AJR1> Quiznos : ok
[04:59] <maddy> ajr1 but there are many irc networks offcourse
[04:59] <Paladine> loth, did you have to do anything special to enable the surround51 device?
[04:59] <maddy> u have to be on tha same network :)
[04:59] <monkkey> yea
[04:59] <lotheac> Paladine: nothing I remember... try aplay -L | grep surround

[05:03] <oracle> bye ogt
[05:03] <Quiznos> someone wants to know where they are to the last nm
[05:03] <cisa> str8edge: simplest way is sudo apt-get install vlc
[05:03] <str8edge> CISA: vlc doesn't use the wmv9 codecs..
[05:03] <str8edge> its installed :)
[05:04] <rpedro> scott: wait
[05:04] <rpedro> scott: you can mount an .img file just like an iso
[05:04] <rpedro> scott: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-109714.html
[05:04] <cisa> str8edge: hmm, then get latest codect from the mplayer homepage and extract them to /usr/lib/win32

[05:04] <pigor> hi. when i close the lid of my notebook and after a while open it, the display is mostly white. it seems for me that acpi does anything i dont want - how can i deactivate any actions of acpi?
[05:04] <roostishaw> how do i turn on numlock on startup? and how do i start programs minimized on startup?
[05:05] <ems> hahaha
[05:05] <gnomefreak> s/isntall/install
[05:05] <The_Guardian> nvm answered my own question
[05:05] <cisa> str8edge: install xine-ui and change the settings to use this path for codecs
[05:05] <ems> Plan 9 solves Ubuntu and Fedora's CD problems.
[05:05] <AJR1> i cant handle this much longer, cant wait to get ubuntu onto my spare machine :D:D:D
[05:05] <zerboxx> neutrinomass: Thanks again for helping me with my HDD problem earlier
[05:05] <The_Guardian> lol I <3 ubuntu
[05:05] <neutrinomass> zerboxx: N/p. It worked :) ?
[05:05] <The_Guardian> if I could get all my games and apps to work on it I would toss my copy of winblows out the window
[05:05] <ani_fu> neutrinomass: aha. you're back. :)
[05:06] <ani_fu> neutrinomass: ui got mouse figured out. but the net wont work :(
[05:06] <scott> rpedro, will have a look thanks
[05:06] <zerboxx> neutrinomass: yep, if my HD does fail, will that error just happen agin and again and again?
[05:06] <pevelius> hi. any help for a problem? my friend tries to log in to dapper, he gets immediately back to gdm. same happens when typing #gnome-session from failsafe terminal. it worked till last week, when he apt-get installed ark.
[05:06] <Minty__> anyone managed to post in pastebin, its seems broken :(
[05:06] <roostishaw> how do i turn on numlock on startup? and how do i start programs minimized on startup?
[05:06] <The_Guardian> try apt-get remove --purge ark to revert it back
[05:06] <gatekeeper> roostishaw: in kubuntu I go to system settings and keyboard
[05:06] <Quiznos> Minty__ pastebin.ca
[05:06] <neutrinomass> zerboxx: Nope. It just won't boot one day. Take a look at 'smartmontools'. I think it's in universe. It will help you determine if the hard disk is failing (disclaimer: it doesn't produce false positives, but does produce false negatives )
[05:07] <The_Guardian> then start the fun of troubleshooting
[05:07] <neutrinomass> ani_fu: How do you connect to the net ?
[05:07] <gnomefreak> roostishaw: the numlocks thing you can find at help.ubuntu.com the other one not sure
[05:07] <MikkelRev> Can someone help me installing ActiveX for FireFox ? I downloaded a .xpi file, but get a error
[05:07] <pevelius> guardian: ark shouldnt be the problem...
[05:07] <kbrosnan> MikkelRev, it is windows only
[05:07] <zerboxx> neutrinomass: :D false negatives, meaning it will tell me it's fine when it's not?
[05:07] <ani_fu> neutrinomass: i have DLink 502-T ADSL modem. basically my phone line is also the net connection
[05:08] <Minty__> Thanks Quiznos
[05:08] <MikkelRev> kbrosnan: does it work for FireFox Windows-version, but not FireFox GNU-version ?
[05:08] <Quiznos> yw
[05:08] <Minty__> http://pastebin.ca/72093 some help pleas
[05:08] <The_Guardian> shouldn't be, but if it was fine before ark was installed then by removing it he can at least retain usability
[05:08] <neutrinomass> zerboxx: Exactly. Other warnings include clicking noises, data loss, system hard locks etc. Always backup!
[05:08] <neutrinomass> ani_fu: USB I guess? No ethernet port ?
[05:08] <MikkelRev> kbrosnan: perhaps if I used FireFox Windows-version through wine, ActiveX will work?
[05:08] <ani_fu> neutrinomass: all the settings are stored in the router so in xp i just have to plug it in and thats it
[05:08] <zerboxx> neutrinomass: ok, thanks!
[05:08] <ani_fu> neutrinomass: got both
[05:08] <The_Guardian> then again if it generates an error msg. He can pastebin it for us
[05:08] <neutrinomass> zerboxx: No problem, glad to help :)
[05:08] <pevelius> actually he did remove it without purge. that was my first advice.
[05:08] <The_Guardian> ahh hmm
[05:08] <The_Guardian> did any error get generated?
[05:09] <Paladine> loth, gonna drop a post in the x64 forum see if anyone is having similar problems with surround51 device
[05:09] <kbrosnan> MikkelRev, Yes it is Windows only, ActiveX does not work on Mac/Linux. It might work on Wine.
[05:09] <pevelius> nope, no errors
[05:09] <lotheac> Paladine: well, I'm on amd64 as well
[05:09] <neutrinomass> ani_fu: If you can, use the ethernet port. USB ADSL modems are currently a pain for Linux users :( It should work out of the box if you use the ethernet prot though .
[05:09] <roostishaw> gnomefreak, where can i find info about numlocks? i cant seem to find it in the desktop guide...
[05:09] <lotheac> honestly I don't know what's your problem
[05:09] <lotheac> ... rather, what your problem is *
[05:10] <ani_fu> neutrinomass: ok. i was trying on usb initially. will try ethernet. so it should work just like that right?
[05:10] <masinger53> Hello, All:  Fresh Ubuntu amd64 install - Totem fails to play DVD with message:  "Totem cannot play this type of media (DVD) because you do not have the appropriate plugins to handle it."
[05:10] <pevelius> masinger53: use automatix to install necessary codecs
[05:10] <neutrinomass> ani_fu: AFAIK yes
[05:11] <Ng> masinger53: unfortunately the gstreamer in dapper, while being vastly better than the one in breezy, has a small problem in that it can't play DVDs afaik. VLC or Xine should manage fine though
[05:11] <ani_fu> neutrinomass: thanks. will try it
[05:11] <BIAF> need webmin help
[05:11] <_Roman> Hello, how can I stop ubuntu from restarting X when I press Shift-Ctrl-Backspace?
[05:12] <pevelius> i dont undestand why typing gnome-session in failsafe terminal takes you back to gdm
[05:12] <gatekeeper> masinger53: this any help? http://www.ehomeupgrade.com/entry/2663/how-to_get_full
[05:12] <Paladine> loth, well at least you helped me confirm that I have 6 channel support working, just the channels are in the wrong order, so I am grateful for that, it is a lot further than I was :)
[05:12] <Ng> _Roman: are you using Xgl?
[05:13] <_Roman> Ng: yeah
[05:13] <lotheac> Paladine: no problem :P if you want, you could paste the full output if you try -Dplug:surround51 to pastebin or something
[05:13] <Ng> _Roman: I don't know the solution, but I've seen it mentioned and it involved xmodmap. Sorry that's not terribly helpful, but perhaps googling for xgl xmodmap will turn something up
[05:13] <zerboxx> neutrinomass: sorry to bug you again, how do I use smartmontools?
[05:15] <neutrinomass> zerboxx: You're not bugging me, I'm here to help people :P After installing, you need to run 'smartctl'. "man smartctl" should give you details on its usage. IIRC "sudo smartctl -t long /dev/hda" will perform a thorough test, but I'm not sure - its been a while
[05:15] <zerboxx> neutrinomass: ok, let me test that out
[05:16] <masinger53> preve:  what is automatix and where do I get it?
[05:16] <tijn> zerboxx ssh is my girlfriend!
[05:16] <tijn> go away!
[05:16] <tijn> ;)
[05:16] <neutrinomass> !automatix > masinger53
[05:16] <pevelius> automatix is a script, and can be found searching the ubuntu forums
[05:16] <zerboxx> tijn: HAHAHA I was about to say I think I'm going to marry ssh
[05:17] <ufk> i'm using dapper, i'm trying to run apache2 with phpsu and php5.1 (latest dapper packages), now the server works, but when i try to run a php script i get [Mon Jun 26 18:10:32 2006]  [error]  [client <IP_ADDRESS>]  Premature end of script headers: test.php, referer: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/
[05:17] <pevelius> or google automatix
[05:17] <masinger53> pevelius: thanks
[05:17] <Krank_> Couple of questions: I have XP and Vista b2 installed using Vista's boot manager, would installing ububtu work allowing all three to boot (not impressed by vista though)?
[05:17] <tijn> zerboxx: ;) hehe
[05:18] <tijn> iam going home cya all
[05:18] <Krank_> Also, any reason to choose the 32bit version over the 64 bit one?

[05:27] <gatekeeper> Minty__: say another process using it, so what ever you are trying to, another process is already in existance and needs killing, what are you trying to do?

[05:28] <pequatre> TokenBad, try writing your password in clear somewhere and copy/paste it, maybe ? so you're sure you're not miswriting
[05:29] <Krank_> Ng, with plugins and codecs in mind, what would you install?
[05:29] <TokenBad> pequatre, not work...still says wrong
[05:30] <fsancho> hi all
[05:30] <fsancho> i have a problem with the sound
[05:30] <Ng> Krank_: personally I use the amd64 version and just run a 32bit firefox, but it has issues. if you want it painfree and don't really mind about the (almost certainly unnoticeable) performance difference, I'd go with the 32bit
[05:30] <fsancho> i have upgraded a breezy to dapper in a thinkpad 600X
[05:30] <ufk> dapper is unstable?
[05:30] <Ng> ufk: no, dapper is the current stable release
[05:30] <pequatre> TokenBad, try and see if there're no other processes running, try "ps aux|grep update" and see what shows ?
[05:30] <fsancho> now the alsa driver don't work in native mode, only oss emulation
[05:30] <BCK14> hmm i have a command which will run in shell but doesnt seem to run from a launcher
[05:31] <fsancho> any idea
[05:31] <fsancho> ?
[05:31] <Ng> BCK14: what's the command?
[05:31] <BCK14> gksu /home/olid/pyGogear-5.9.tar.gz_FILES/run.sh > /home/olid/pyGogear-5.9.tar.gz_FILES/log.txt
[05:31] <BCK14> run.sh i wrote myself calls a python script
[05:31] <Answer> BCK14, try adding /bin/bash to force the shell
[05:31] <Answer> BCK14, also use the full path of run.sh
[05:31] <BCK14> Answer: to which bit ?
[05:32] <BCK14> i dont understand?
[05:32] <cmk> HELLO
[05:32] <gatekeeper> Minty__: try loging out then loging back in that might clear it
[05:32] <Ng> BCK14: I doubt the > will work and the .sh will need a terminal to run in
[05:32] <Answer> BCK14, the launcher command would be   /bin/bash /home/BCK14/run.sh    or something like that
[05:32] <masinger53> Ng:  Re: the 32bit - do you mean to use the x86 LiveCD rather than the amd64?
[05:32] <BCK14> ok
[05:32] <cmk> AVEC QUI PUIJE BAVARDER
[05:32] <Minty__> gatekeeper ok
[05:32] <Ng> masinger53: yeah
[05:32] <ufk> apache-prefork with php5 doesn't work. when i try to run a phpinfo(); script i get [Mon Jun 26 18:11:59 2006]  [error]  [client <IP_ADDRESS>]  *** glibc detected *** double free or corruption (fasttop): 0x0806fa10 ***, referer: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/ Mon Jun 26 18:27:07 2006]  [error]  [client <IP_ADDRESS>]  Premature end of script headers: test.php, referer: http://<IP_ADDRESS>/. any ideas?
[05:33] <Answer> BCK14, you could also force  /usr/bin/gksu
[05:33] <ufk> apache2
[05:33] <cmk> JESUIS FRANCAISE
[05:33] <Answer> cmk, try #ubuntu-fr
[05:33] <masinger53> Ng: performance vs. pain-free = negligible payoff?
[05:33] <blkish> hi all :) can anyone recommend a good apache log analyser/filterer, ideally for gnome? i have some huge logs to work on and getting tired of grep'ing! thanks
[05:34] <BCK14> Answer: still didnt work :(
[05:34] <pequatre> cmk, va sur le chan fr
[05:34] <Ng> masinger53: I don't have any numbers to back it up, but I can't spot much difference between the two. IME a desktop system is typically waiting for IO more than it is waiting for the CPU
[05:34] <pequatre> c'est "#ubuntu-fr"
[05:34] <Ng> BCK14: like I said, the .sh needs a terminal and so does the >
[05:34] <BCK14> ill try edit run.sh to force output to the file
[05:34] <monkkey> i have connected a new hdd, now when ubuntu boots is hangs on :begin: waiting for root file system.  why is this and how can i boot to mount my disc?
[05:34] <cmk> MERCI PEQUATRE
[05:34] <Ng> BCK14: or at least the > does
[05:34] <pequatre> no problem
[05:35] <Ng> BCK14: I'd expect that putting the redirect in the .sh would be ok, providing it doesn't ask for user input in the script or anything like that
