[12:01] <boink> icecast2 supports ogg and mp3, no problem
[12:01] <Buglouse> well i need to stream mp3 so that doesn't really affect me
[12:02] <boink> I'm not sure of the status of the darkice .deb on ubuntu
[12:02] <boink> I don't know if mp3 support is included
[12:02] <boink> otherwise, you may need to compile it yourself with the lame libraries
[12:02] <RobHu> rcmiv: http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/bz/bz_proc.htm
[12:02] <Buglouse> it is for me... all the fourms and faq and help sections have lead me to believe that as long as i have lame installed to begin with then streaming mp3 files to a shoutcast server will be no prob
[12:02] <cb> I have flash installed. In fact, I have no trouble with google video. But sites like www.spiketv.com won't let me in! That site says I have no flash. Any help?
[12:03] <RobHu> rcmiv: So I'm guessing no
[12:03] <boink> is lame an ubuntu .deb?
[12:03] <Ronz> hey yall...ive been having problems with my nvidia drivers. got everything installed, changed my xorg.conf file, and whenever the "nvidia" driver is loaded, it sticks on a black screen and doesn't go anywhere. anyone have an idea?
[12:03] <Buglouse> rpm
[12:03] <boink> rpm? that isn't ubuntu
[12:03] <LSD`> boink: probably not
[12:03] <Buglouse> io know
[12:03] <LSD`> boink: rpm is red hat
[12:04] <boink> thus, the darkice .deb may not have mp3 support in it.
[12:04] <tempered> can I play World oF Warcraft on Ubuntu?
[12:04] <Ronz> tempered, yes
[12:04] <Buglouse> boink: Lame is installed using Synaptic
[12:04] <Nicole> guys, are you mad at me???Do you know a msn to ue microphone an web cam
[12:04] <`blink> apt-get install world_of_warcraft
[12:04] <`blink> :)
[12:04] <boink> heh
[12:04] <LSD`> Nicole: amsn
[12:04] <Ronz> lol
[12:04] <tempered> heh, that'd be nice
[12:04] <RobHu> rcmiv: Core 2 Duo's use socket LGA775, that motherboard is a socket mPGA478. So the chip wouldn't even fit, much less work :S
[12:05] <Ronz> tempered, in order to get WoW working, you need to install wine
[12:05] <`blink> nope
[12:05] <`blink> there is a wow under linux
[12:05] <Ronz> Nicole, what are you trying to do?
[12:05] <tempered> isn't there a commercial version of wine?
[12:05] <RobHu> tempered: Cedega
[12:05] <Ronz> `blink, are you sure? bliz never released a linux version of wow to my knowledge...
[12:06] <LSD`> wow is supposed to work under the normal wine too
[12:06] <`blink> w8
[12:06] <RobHu> rcmiv: That motherboard was desiged for a chip that came out 3 years ago. The Core 2 Duo wasn't even a research prototype at that point.
[12:06] <`blink> i will check on my wow box
[12:06] <Buglouse> boink: http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/29235/?highlight=
[12:06] <Nicole> ronz: I have some friends, they have windows, and I wanna talk to them , look I gotta microphone and the cam, (can wait) but I wanna talk
[12:06] <rcmiv> RobHu, thanks for the link
[12:06] <RobHu> rcmiv: np
[12:06] <tempered> Can you use Cedega/wine for stuff like printers and scanners if they won't work under Linux drivers?
[12:06] <rcmiv> my hopes are dashed
[12:06] <Ronz> Nicole, what chat client are they using?
[12:07] <Buglouse> boink: i believe that that fourm should help me... but i cant read it qq
[12:07] <RobHu> rcmiv: I found this all out from the wikipedia entries on Core 2 Duo, and Pentium 4
[12:07] <LSD`> RobHu: the 865 (and probably 875) can support C2D tho apparently
[12:07] <RobHu> rcmiv: and that page
[12:07] <RobHu> LSD`: You're talking about chipset support though aren't you? His mobo is not physically compatible.
[12:07] <RobHu> Or rather the socket isn't.
[12:07] <Ronz> Nicole, is it MSN your trying to use?
[12:08] <RobHu> rcmiv: Why do you need that particular board to be supported?
[12:08] <tuxtux> notte a tutti
[12:08] <RobHu> rcmiv: Is that what you have?
[12:08] <LSD`> RobHu: yeah, the chipset itself will support it though unless they give it an LGA775 socket it won't fit
[12:08] <rcmiv> RobHu, yep
[12:08] <RobHu> LSD`: Yeah, that was the point I was making.
[12:08] <ashzilla> Hi friends. I just got an error in Azureus that states Java 1.4.2 is not compatible with my version of Azureus
[12:08] <rcmiv> RobHu, the P4 3.2 runs _hot_. I hate it
[12:08] <ashzilla> How can I update java?
[12:09] <LSD`> RobHu: that's the prescotts for you
[12:09] <LSD`> rcmiv I meant, stupid completeion
[12:09] <rcmiv> LSD, yep
[12:09] <Nicole> ronz, I tried, amsn, gaim, kopete and kmess
[12:09] <rcmiv> LSD, bad design, that
[12:09] <RobHu> rcmiv: What about a Pentium D?
[12:09] <Nicole> ronz, got nothing
[12:10] <LSD`> rcmiv: the P4 in general was a bad design, the prescott was just a particularly bad revision
[12:10] <b03nto> ashzilla, maybe u can d/w java bin ur self ?
[12:10] <kuiper> how do i inmount a smbmount share?
[12:10] <Ronz> Nicole, let me see if i can get on MSN via gaim
[12:10] <rcmiv> RobHu, will research, thanks
[12:10] <LSD`> kuiper: umount /mount/point like any other
[12:10] <kuiper> LSD' thank u
[12:11] <LSD`> rcmiv: you'll have to replace the mobo but the Core 2 Duos are the way to go
[12:11] <RobHu> rcmiv: You can get a Core 2 Duo compatible mobo for 45 dollars (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813185086) ... I assume you are american
[12:11] <Nicole> ronz, I can use all of 'em , but I wanna listen and talk with my nice voice, u knw what i mean
[12:11] <Ronz> hey Nicole, i just used gAIM and got on msn. when you added the account, did you pick the drop down box for msn?
[12:11] <Ronz> Nicole, i know what you mean. have you tried jabber by chance?
[12:12] <rcmiv> Probably will drop a new mobo and go c2d, yes I'm in the u.s.
[12:12] <LSD`> lol, jabber's a solution looking for a problem
[12:12] <Nicole> ronz, what's jabber
[12:12] <LSD`> RobHu: PC Chips? ugh...
[12:12] <RobHu> rcmiv: Core 2 is a fantastic chip, I have a Pentium D 805 which is the gen before
[12:12] <Ronz> Nicole, its also another client. i haven't messed with it, but its worth a try. =)
[12:12] <RobHu> rcmiv: More than enough for me though - I don't really see why most users need dual core
[12:13] <RobHu> LSD`: Agreed, but I just wanted to show how cheap a mobo would cost, and I assume from his question that he wants to spend as little as possible :P

[12:18] <youser> anyonek now o a real good irc client for ubuntu that i can download stuff with ctcp
[12:18] <LSD`> youser: irssi :P
[12:18] <b03nto> is it really 80 MB, thats huge...
[12:18] <zenit> youser: those commands should work in any client
[12:18] <youser> hmm
[12:19] <loper06> speaking about java. whats an alternative torrent client that manages multiple torrents as an alt. to azerues.
[12:19] <LSD`> loper06: rtorrent
[12:19] <johny5> loper06, freeloader
[12:19] <jester45> loper06: or ktorrent
[12:19] <ashzilla> RobHu: So C and C++ are both languages that leave more efficient memory footprints?
[12:19] <LSD`> loper06: it's text mode, you just put it in a screen session and let it do its thing in the bg
[12:19] <Xavier101> azureuas is still the best on features
[12:20] <Xavier101> ktorrent is pretty good as well
[12:20] <jester45> loper06: or ctorrent (cui)
[12:20] <LSD`> Xavier101: tru dat
[12:20] <loper06> what has the lowest memory footprint btw
[12:20] <loper06> and is gui
[12:20] <jester45> loper06: i say ctorrent
[12:20] <jester45> o ctorrent is cui
[12:20] <ashzilla> I wish they'd port Utorrent to the Unixes
[12:21] <loper06> thx
[12:21] <LSD`> I'd use Az over utorrent depsite the java fottprint
[12:21] <ashzilla> jester45: by cui do you mean cli?
[12:21] <LSD`> I can't stand the way utorrent manages it's queue
[12:21] <jester45> i would use utorrent over az becuaSE i know utorrent very well

[12:31] <ashzilla> What Java package do I need to update to get Azureus working.
[12:31] <youser> i liketo be me
[12:31] <Homer> how do I compile the gnu compiler
[12:31] <RobHu> ashzilla: Java has several disadvantages but added to those is the problem that the virtual machine requires a lot of memory. Hence "Hello world" will use several MB.
[12:31] <Homer> if I don't have the compiler to compile with
[12:32] <Seveas> Homer, with a compiled version of itself
[12:32] <hobbesmaster> Homer: do you just want to install it?
[12:32] <Homer> did gcc compile itself?

[12:33] <youser> get java 1.5
[12:33] <youser> thats just a suggestion
[12:33] <ashzilla> youser: what package is that?
[12:33] <Seveas> Ashex, sun-java5-jre
[12:33] <youser> i have no supporting information to tell you get 1.5
[12:33] <youser> besides that i have it

[12:50] <maxLF> hobbesmaster -  doesn't cedega have a monthly fee?
[12:50] <Tru7h> fluxinator: I'll do that.

[12:54] <youser> ah yes
[12:54] <youser> i use firestarter
[12:55] <youser> how can i set up irc round that?
[12:55] <mumbleslaptop> !boot
[12:55] <ubotu> Boot options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions To add/remove startup services, you can use the package 'bum', or update-rc.d - To add your own startup scripts, use /etc/rc.local See also !grub and !dualboot - Making a bootfloppy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto/BootFloppy - Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SmartBootManagerHowto
[12:55] <fluxinator> policy
[12:56] <youser> i keep gettignhit fom unknown connections including from <IP_ADDRESS> while im alreadyconnected
[12:56] <youser> hence the firewall
[12:56] <fluxinator> go to the policy tab
[12:56] <kitche> youser: well you will setup a policy for iptables since firestarter is just a frontend to iptables in reality
[12:56] <zachhale> how do i upgrade my kernel?
[12:56] <kitche> youser: well <IP_ADDRESS> is your own machine
[12:56] <fluxinator> allow service, port 6667
[12:57] <LjL> zachhale: "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" should do, if there's a newer kernel available
[12:57] <mumbleslaptop> ok i need to force ubuntu to install
[12:57] <Ronz> hey, the nvidia drivers on my computer seem to be broken. ive gone through every tutorial, installed nvidia-glx, changed my xorg.conf file, and when i load it up...the screen stays black and doesn't load. has anyone heard of the black screen problem?
[12:57] <youser> yeah but i shouldnt have 2 instances of <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:57] <fluxinator> kitche then what would he use to configure iptables?
[12:58] <kitche> fluxinator: he can use firestarter as I said it's just a frontend to iptables
[12:58] <mumbleslaptop> .g ubuntu force install
[12:58] <mumbleslaptop> oh bot dosent do that
[12:59] <youser> i addedto my policies
[12:59] <youser> it did try to receive this time
[12:59] <youser> though it failed
[12:59] <kitche> Ronz: pastebin your Xorg.0.log file it's in /var/log
[12:59] <youser> asirc always does
[01:01] <zachhale> LjL: know if there's a way to upgrade to a 2.6.18 kernel?
[01:02] <LjL> zachhale: not one officially supported by Ubuntu. you could certainly just go and compile your own... or possibly you might find a pre-built unofficial .deb if you google a bit. i wouldn't do that, but...
[01:02] <ks1> does anyone know what happened to the developement forum?
[01:02] <zachhale> LjL: okay thanks for the info
[01:02] <Ronz> kitche, the error i was getting was "failed to load nvidia kernel module"
[01:03] <kitche> Ronz: ah ok try sudo modprobe nvidia see if that helps
[01:03] <mumbleslaptop> ok - last go before i give up with linux on my desktop

[01:10] <Ropechoborra> But... i want to make a secuence of images..
[01:10] <mike__> kitche: sudo: alsaconfig: command not found
[01:11] <kitche> mike__: sorry it's alsaconf
[01:11] <mike__> oh
[01:11] <Dr_willis> I do belive gimp has a animation feature.. never used it however.
[01:11] <Ropechoborra> Dr_willis how can i do (with gimp) to make a secuence of images?
[01:11] <foo> err, how can I bunzip2 a file? bzip2 file.bz2 dir/* doesn't seem to work and I can't seem to find it in the man page, gah
[01:11] <Dr_willis> !info unz
[01:11] <ubotu> Package unz does not exist in any distro I know
[01:11] <mike__> kitche: thats not found either
[01:11] <mumbleslaptop> kitche,  knoppix live cd messes up as well
[01:11] <Dr_willis> !info unp
[01:11] <ubotu> unp: unpack (almost) everything with one command. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.10 (dapper), package size 9 kB, installed size 72 kB
[01:12] <kitche> mike__: ok it seems like you don't have alsa installed so it must be oss your mixer sees no sound devices?
[01:12] <Dr_willis> foo,  try bunzip2?
[01:12] <foo> Dr_willis: Same command? bzip2 is the same thing, I think
[01:12] <mike__> no it sees them. it was working earlier today
[01:12] <Dr_willis> foo,  it defaults ot useing the extract option i belive
[01:12] <kitche> mike__: see if anything is muted
[01:12] <ashzilla> Okay, so I've followed the instructions and just made a deb of the most recent java runtime enviroment update yet Azureus still says java is running 1.4.2
[01:12] <ashzilla> What the heck do I do to get this working!
[01:13] <foo> Dr_willis: right... I want to compress.. the man page either sucks or I can't find it for the life of me
[01:13] <mike__> kitche: nothings muted
[01:13] <mike__> at least i dont think
[01:13] <mike__> im looking in volume control.. is tha tright (newb)
[01:13] <kitche> foo it's bzip2 -z <filenames>
[01:14] <foo> kitche: gah, thanks
[01:14] <Dr_willis> -z --compress       force compression
[01:14] <Dr_willis> If invoked as `bzip2', default action is to compress. as `bunzip2',  default action is to decompress.
[01:14] <mumbleslaptop> ok google dosent help me
[01:14] <youser> if only they made propellerheads reason for linux i could delete windows
[01:14] <mister_roboto> ashzilla: did you run update-java-alternatives?
[01:15] <elite_hacker> I'm using an IBM thinkpad and the video is kind of choppy when I try to play movies in X, but movies play just fine when I boot into windows.  What do I need to do to fix this?
[01:16] <mumbleslaptop> kitche,  any ideas ?
[01:16] <Sourcemage> Hi all, I'm in the middle of installing ubuntu (my first distribution) and was wondering how to setup my swap partition?
[01:16] <Sourcemage> i read it's supposed to be approx double the ram but not above 500mb ?
[01:16] <Sourcemage> but i have 768mb ram soo ...
[01:16] <host1> how do you connect without using dhc?
[01:16] <ashzilla> mister_roboto: no
[01:16] <Nicole> pla hlp me His pls I need help, I installed mercury msn , but I can't open it , 'cos I get a fatal error
[01:16] <foo> kitche: hm, bzip2 -z tothisfile.bz2 thisdir/ throws an error. strange
[01:16] <host1> I want to use a static IP
[01:17] <ashzilla> mister_roboto: what do I need to do with update-java-alternatives
[01:17] <mumbleslaptop> uh oh  i think i just lost my backup disks
[01:17] <mister_roboto> ashzilla: that will rewrite some soft links so that when you run java stuff, it will run the jvm of your choice
[01:17] <tonyyarusso> There be some black magic going on here...N-M shows no network connected, but I have internet access...
[01:17] <mumbleslaptop> hdd
[01:17] <kitche> foo: bzip2 can only do files not directories
[01:17] <mike__> kitche: nothings muted but i still have no sound
[01:17] <jrib> Sourcemage: 500 is fine, you probably won't end up using it much.  I have a gb with 512mb of ram and never use the swap so it's a waste
[01:17] <mister_roboto> ashzilla: you need to run it
[01:17] <foo> kitche: ahh, ok.
[01:17] <ashzilla> mister_roboto: it gives me a usage, what should I enter to update to 1.5
[01:17] <mister_roboto> ashzilla: i think you need to be root so "sudo update-java-alternatives"
[01:17] <Sourcemage> jrib how am i able to tell whether my system is using swap or not?
[01:18] <Dr_willis> 'free' command shows memory ussage
[01:18] <jrib> Sourcemage: free -m  for friendly numbers
[01:18] <kitche> mike__: well have you tried undoing what you did before?
[01:18] <host1> ashzilla: do you have all the right repositories set up?
[01:18] <ashzilla> mister_roboto: nope, still nothing, just gives me usage
[01:18] <ashzilla> host1: yes
[01:18] <host1> nvm
[01:19] <jrib> Sourcemage: since this is your first distro, I don't know if you're somewhat familiar with the command line?
[01:19] <mister_roboto> ashzilla: use "-l" to list valid choices
[01:19] <mumbleslaptop> nope i havent- but ubuntu just wont work on my desktop:(
[01:19] <kitche> mike__: since you said you tried chaning sound devices that's whne it started to do what it is doing now
[01:19] <Nicole> pls hlp me His pls I need help, I installed mercury msn , but I can't open it , 'cos I get a fatal error
[01:19] <mister_roboto> ashzilla: then you use "-s <name" to set it  (I think... been a while)
[01:19] <jrib> ubotu: tell Nicole about repeat
[01:19] <ixian> i can't adjust brightness/contrast/etc of videos playing in totem since i installed the ati drivers ( https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto ).. any ideas how to fix this?
[01:19] <Sourcemage> jrib partially, only basics like rm, cd etc
[01:19] <mike__> kitche: so how do i get it working again
[01:19] <jrib> Sourcemage: yeah, free is just another command that gives you that info
[01:20] <mike__> kitche: i dont think i did anything speciall... just changed the tabs in volume control
[01:20] <ashzilla> mister_roboto: thanks, I think that did it
[01:20] <raknam> i'm trying to log into a remote server using ssh, is there a way to login not as the user that i'm logged on as on my local machine?
[01:20] <jrib> raknam: ssh foo@bar
[01:21] <kitche> mike__: check to make sure everything is setup and the output is set right
[01:21] <mike__> kitche: some programs like amarok work but only in the ehadset but i want to change that
[01:21] <ashzilla> woot, thanks mister_roboto - that was it. :)
[01:21] <jrib> raknam: where foo is your username
[01:21] <Ronz> forget who helped me before...but ran apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common, then changed nv to nvidia in xorg.conf. whenever it boots up, it gives me just a black screen. have any ideas?
[01:21] <mister_roboto> ashzilla: great!
[01:21] <mike__> kitche: how do i do that
[01:21] <elite_hacker> nobody knows how to make my video play right?
[01:21] <raknam> jrib: and bar is just a command?
[01:21] <Ronz> elite_hacker, what type of video?
[01:21] <jrib> raknam: bar is the server you are connecting to
[01:22] <kitche> mike__: ok open up your mixer and does your mixer have green lights at the bottom since I don't know what desktop environment your using
[01:22] <raknam> jrib: sweet, thanks
[01:22] <elite_hacker> Ronz: any video i play is jerky
[01:22] <jrib> raknam: I'll choose better fake variables next time :)
[01:22] <mumbleslaptop> ok im goign to give up for the night
[01:22] <Ronz> elite_hacker, what are you using to play them?
[01:22] <raknam> jrib: haha yeah sorry i'm a little dense too
[01:22] <mike__> kbuntu: gnome. whats my mixer?
[01:22] <mumbleslaptop> and go to sleep
[01:22] <Sourcemage> was thanksgiving today or tomorrow?  : o
[01:22] <elite_hacker> Ronz: vlc, mplayer
[01:23] <mike__> kitche: gnome...
[01:23] <Monsuco> hello
[01:23] <Ronz> elite_hacker, i would try kaffeine + xine backend
[01:23] <technel> In Open Office Writer, under Tools -> Options -> Language Settings -> Languages -> Default langs for documents "English (Canada)" is selected. So I click "English (USA)" from the drop down, click OK, restart Open Office, go there again, and it is switched back to Canada!! Why?
[01:23] <Monsuco> I am having issues with X
[01:23] <mike__> kitche: i dont see any green lights
[01:23] <Ronz> ran apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common, then changed nv to nvidia in xorg.conf. whenever it boots up, it gives me just a black screen. have any ideas?
[01:23] <mumbleslaptop> Sourcemage,  i was told today
[01:23] <Monsuco> is there any form of safe mode for X?
[01:24] <kitche> mike__: yeah wasn't sure if gnome had that kind of mixer since KDE does have lights for what is active for sound
[01:24] <mike__> kitche: should i switch to kde?
[01:24] <ixian> Ronz, try changing it back to nv
[01:24] <Ronz> ixian, i have
[01:25] <kitche> mike__: no but I don't know much about gnome so I can't really help you out but your problem has to do with something in the mixer set wrong
[01:25] <Ronz> ixian, thats how im running now. =) i want to get 3D acceleration up
[01:25] <DualCortex_> guys anyone know how to set up a lan game, say for nibbles
[01:25] <mike__> kitche: it doesnt look like tehre is much to set in the gnome mixer (it says its alsa mixer...)
[01:26] <kitche> mike__: ah ok well I know about alsa mixer
[01:26] <ixian> Ronz: , oh ok.. well im pretty sure there is more to installing the drivers than just downloading the package, which is why it didnt work. try searching for nvidia on the wiki
[01:26] <ixian> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Home?action=show&redirect=FrontPage
[01:26] <mike__> kitche: what shall i try then? :)
[01:26] <Ronz> ixian, thats the thing...ive been through 20+ wiki's today
[01:26] <Monsuco> What happens is when I start, I get like these wierd lines all over my screen and it is like a bunch of desktops overlapping each other, I accedentally selected the wrong graphics driver, and that is the source of the problems, is there any sort of "safe mode" type thing for X so that I can go back and select the right driver
[01:26] <youser> man it takes hours to search through f servers on linux irc
[01:26] <DualCortex_> Anyone know how to set up a lan game, say for nibbles
[01:27] <kitche> mike__: see if your pc speakers are all the way up and unmuted
[01:27] <Ronz> Monsuco, you could boot in safe mode and change the graphics driver in the xorg.conf file
[01:27] <Monsuco> how do I do that
[01:27] <gandolfthewizard> hi all i am trying to get the plug in for yahoo can someone help please
[01:27] <mike__> kitche: yep they are
[01:28] <lakio> how do I disable SELinux in ubuntu?
[01:28] <ixian> Monsuco: , you should see a 'recovery mode' option on the bootloader
[01:28] <Monsuco> I do, when I select it, I get a prompt
[01:28] <kitche> mike__: well I can't figure out anything else since I never ran into that problem but it could be due to you have headset plugged in and you want to play though the speakers(some computers don't like two sound devices on at a same time)
[01:28] <Monsuco> now what? Is there a command I type in
[01:29] <fraroco> hello every body
[01:29] <fraroco> I wanna know how to change of server in IRC
[01:29] <Zarephath> !windows media
[01:29] <SeanTater> what do you do for a file root can dir and see, but cannot even stat?
[01:29] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about windows media - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:29] <mike__> kitche: is there a way to switch between the two of them without running into problems like totall mutage?
[01:29] <DualCortex_> So noone knows how to set up a lan game for those preinstalled gnome games? ie nibbles
[01:30] <kitche> fraroco: yes type /server <server>
[01:30] <Zarephath> Anyone help..I need information on how to get movie player to play .wmv files...it errors on loading the file...I searched the wiki but no joy..
[01:30] <kitche> mike__: umm yeah just unplug your headset at least that's what I do
[01:30] <avagant> Ta da~
[01:31] <avagant> I have a serious question, in need of some serious answers.
[01:31] <Monsuco> so what command do I type in once in recovery mode to go back to the old driver
[01:31] <avagant> Haha
[01:31] <jrib> ubotu: tell Zarephath about wmv
[01:31] <avagant> Actually it's not that serious, it's just a silly question really.
[01:31] <[5D] Silent_Chaos> hey guys, I'm trying to autostart my css server from /srcds and I'm having some trouble with getting it to auto-start
[01:31] <gandolfthewizard> can someone help me get the java plug in please
[01:31] <ixian> Monsuco: probably something along the lines of sudo pico /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:31] <mike__> kitche: is there a way i can wthout having to unplug it? the back of my computer isnt the most remote place
[01:31] <avagant> gandolfthewizard: www.ubuntuforums.org
[01:32] <avagant> They have answers to just about everything.
[01:32] <avagant> I still can't figure out my sound problems.
[01:32] <avagant> But at least I have sound.
[01:32] <fraroco> thaks you
[01:32] <fraroco> thanks you
[01:32] <avagant> Heck I just found out instead of going through all the crap to compile Nicotine+ they have a repository now.
[01:33] <[5D] Silent_Chaos> the command to execute something is ./<name> right? How would I execute from a different directory?
[01:33] <ixian> Monsuco: then find the section labled "Section "Device"", and change the driver to whatever it was before
[01:33] <asimismo> I've got a Ubuntu machine I hope to use as an IMAP server. Would like to use a web client to access my accounts. Anyone know of a web e-mail client that can centralize multiple accounts?
[01:33] <fraroco> and how can I greet to all users whit a comand
[01:33] <ixian> Monsuco: then ctrl+X to save
[01:33] <jrib> gandolfthewizard: do you want me to help you with java?
[01:33] <Monsuco> ok

[01:33] <GoldKeeper> has anybody had a bad edgy break ?
[01:33] <avagant> Hey if I get rid of a deb package even though I already have the deb installed will it ruin what I have installed?
[01:33] <TIMo0-> whats up
[01:34] <TIMo0-> yess
[01:34] <avagant> I need to free up some room for more useless packages.
[01:34] <DualCortex_> So noone knows how to set up a lan game for those preinstalled gnome games? ie nibbles!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
[01:34] <LuisMendes> Hi, I want to know if it is necessary to install a firewall, like Firestarter?
[01:34] <jrib> gandolfthewizard: you need to post the contents of your /etc/apt/sources.list file for us to help you.  Use http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and give us the url to your post
[01:34] <DualCortex_> no
[01:34] <[5D] Silent_Chaos> the firewall exists already
[01:34] <jrib> !firewall
[01:34] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line) or firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing)
[01:35] <avagant> jrib: Why can't they just go on the forums? Haha
[01:35] <avagant> !ubuntuforums
[01:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntuforums - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:35] <avagant> Good afternoon/evening/morning holycow.
[01:36] <holycow> allo
[01:36] <avagant> holy i have a question about my panels.
[01:36] <holycow> happy turkeys to all
[01:36] <holycow> avagant, sure wots that?
[01:36] <avagant> I don't know if you can answer it.
[01:36] <holycow> i'll try
[01:36] <kitche> LuisMendes well firestarter isn't a firewall it's just a frontend to iptables which is the firewall
[01:36] <avagant> holycow: Well I set it to not expand so it becomes as big as whatever I have in it right?
[01:37] <avagant> holycow: But now, I can't get it to expand again so I can add more things, how do I do that?
[01:37] <holycow> avagant, correct
[01:37] <LuisMendes> kitche, oh I think I understand now! thanks, so it is not really necessary...

[01:37] <avagant> Is there a "panels" option I can get to?
[01:38] <holycow> what do you mean 'panels option?'
[01:38] <avagant> Without actually like if you right click the panel it gives you the option to edit it's properities.
[01:38] <holycow> you want to edit panel properties without right clicking on them?
[01:38] <avagant> Is there a way to do that without right clicking it, cause when I do it asks to change the properties of the little program buttons I put in there.
[01:38] <avagant> Yes.
[01:38] <holycow> you should be able to do tha tin gconf
[01:39] <avagant> gconf?
[01:39] <avagant> I know what gconf is, but how do I dare I ask "get" to it.
[01:39] <kitche> LuisMendes: yeah you don't need it and iptables won't work until you configure it anyways
[01:39] <holycow> applications / system / configuraiton editor
[01:39] <avagant> I don't have a system menu?
[01:39] <holycow> all gnome settings can be accesed from there
[01:39] <holycow> oh easy
[01:39] <holycow> alt / f2
[01:39] <holycow> the type in gconf
[01:39] <LuisMendes> kitche, so it is disabled by default?

[01:40] <holycow> sorry

[01:41] <[1] raknam> one more quick ssh question, how do i start the ssh server in ubuntu?
[01:41] <avagant> Are they called panels in this?

[01:41] <avagant> cause I can't find them. haha
[01:41] <holycow> you can also delete your .gnome and .gnome2 dirs, log out and log back in.  that will delete all your settings, and they will be recreated to default once you log in
[01:41] <holycow> avagant, there is a search function
[01:41] <[1] raknam> dr_willis: gracias

[01:45] <Buglouse> What would you recommend using for streaming mp3 files over a Shoutcast server?
[01:46] <OmniD_> oh what was it called
[01:46] <OmniD_> icecast?
[01:46] <OmniD_> There was a good shoutcast alternative
[01:46] <OmniD_> THAT I RECOMMEND
[01:46] <id10t> Buglouse, or use DSS and just feed the mp3s off local storage
[01:46] <Buglouse> i tried useing DarkIce... but it is havening a problem finding the Lame codecs...
[01:46] <kitche> LusiMendes well it runs but it doesn't do anything that I know of unless the devs have it set up a certain way by default
[01:46] <OmniD_> It wasn't DarkIce I don't think actually
[01:46] <avagant> Hmm it didn't change.
[01:47] <id10t> VLC can do it too
[01:47] <madewokherd> there's an icecast-server
[01:47] <Buglouse> darkice is compatible with Shoutcast.. icecast isn't
[01:47] <avagant> Uah there we go.
[01:47] <OmniD_> Right

[01:52] <Parallax> hi, I have a broken pakage and don't know how to solve it
[01:52] <madewokherd> no one knows how to use gnome games to play network games
[01:52] <avagant> You know what'd be awesome, if I could get sound to work for everything the right way.
[01:52] <[5D] Silent_Chaos> anyone know how to execute a binary from a different directory? I know that I can ./name to execute from within the directory, how would I execute using a full path?
[01:53] <ebzero> Avagany i hear you man :-/ its frusterating me really badly...
[01:53] <DualCortex_> madewoherd, i'm noticing that
[01:53] <avagant> I should be happy I got it to work at all, but if I'm watching youtube and listening to music, when one goes down, so goes the other.
[01:53] <ebzero> Exactluy
[01:53] <Zarephath> jrib: thanks
[01:53] <ebzero> and the sound lag on Youtube is annoying :-(
[01:53] <avagant> But like I said I should be grateful, when I had Windows I didn't have sound at all.
[01:54] <avagant> And couldn't figure out how to get it to work, I got sound right out of the box in Ubuntu.
[01:54] <ebzero> O.o i had windows and got a virus on it that fuxed everything up so i didnt know what to do and my comp didnt come with a windows cd dont feel like spening 200 bucks on a new cd :(
[01:54] <ChocoCid> !language
[01:54] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[01:54] <avagant> ebzero: The worst part is, I had sound set up a way that I can do both comfortably and I had to reinstall Ubuntu again.
[01:55] <ebzero> lol i had to reinstall ubuntu also but i had nothing on it so it was no big deal
[01:55] <ebzero> Anyone here a sound specialist? lol
[01:55] <avagant> I've had to reinstall it 5 times.
[01:55] <avagant> Haha
[01:55] <ebzero> lol
[01:56] <avagant> If anyone here deserves a "n00b" award it's me.
[01:56] <ebzero> lol im runner up then :-/
[01:56] <avagant> Hey when I open system monitor shouldn't alsa be one of the processes running?
[01:56] <bill> avagent - lol - i thought we settled that. - my pic is still in webster's
[01:56] <avagant> Haha
[01:57] <avagant> It's showing aRts instead of alsa, and I could have sworn I've seen alsa in the monitor before.
[01:57] <ebzero> Avagent i dont have alsa running and i cant here anything
[01:57] <avagant> That could be 90 percent of my problem there, is there a way to make alsa "start"?
[01:58] <ebzero> Avagent and to make things worse i still cant get my ATI RADEON 9250 working the right way...
[01:58] <host`> how do I connect with a static IP?

[02:00] <Sivik> otaku-san, it doesn't matter which one
[02:00] <sidny4> !alsa
[02:00] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure alsa is selected by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (Alsa Mixer). If you are still having problems with sound, then look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSoundProblems
[02:00] <wheelswitch> any one here use bittorrent alot?
[02:00] <chrisntr> I'm having a few problems with 'rar' on Edgy :(
[02:00] <host`> I'm not having the sound problems anyway
[02:00] <otaku-san> Sivik: Ok I'll stay with kdm
[02:00] <avagant> But shouldn't alsa show up in system manager?
[02:00] <wheelswitch> by bitorrent i mean torrents,
[02:01] <Sivik> wheelswitch, what is the issue?
[02:01] <otaku-san> Sivik: Thanks alot
[02:01] <jaymode> wheelswitch: i do
[02:01] <host`> I wanting to know how to configure using a static IP
[02:01] <Sivik> host`, like a router or just your computer?
[02:01] <host`> I want to connect to a router
[02:02] <Sivik> ok, do you know the ip of the interface for the router
[02:02] <host`> yes
[02:02] <sidny4> you should really configure the router to assign a static IP to your mac address
[02:02] <Sivik> host`, what kind of router is it
[02:02] <Sivik> sidny4, it may not be able to do that, depends on what sort of router it is
[02:02] <host`> it's not my router, I don't want to mess around with other peoples things too much, I'm leeching off it
[02:02] <sidny4> Sivik, that's true
[02:02] <fraroco> well I have the room of IRC how can I know what it is the server??
[02:02] <Sivik> host`, sudo ifconfig ethx xx.xx.xx.xx
[02:02] <shido> why i can never change the font style or font size in the system?.... i change it but nothing happens
[02:02] <jaymode> my nautilus/libgnome-vfs are crashing while doing file transfers over a network. After that I have to restart before i can browse computers on the network again. Is there a command so that I do not have to keep restarting?
[02:03] <host`> ok, ifconfig
[02:03] <host`> I'll remember that
[02:03] <troughton> hi i am trying to set up a home network i have installed samba on both mashiens but how do i browse accross the network ??
[02:03] <Squatch> Quick question.  Trying to get xvkbd & xbindkeys so that I can use all the buttons on my mouse, but when I "sudo apt-get install xvkbd xbindkeys" I get "Couldn't find package xvkbd"...  Any suggestions?
[02:03] <sidny4> host` what are you trying to do?
[02:03] <host`> I need to have my ports forwarded
[02:03] <Sivik> Squatch, try using apt-cache for that program
[02:03] <Sivik> host`, what kind of router?
[02:03] <host`> linksys
[02:03] <Squatch> Sivik: Thanks, I'll look into that.
[02:03] <Sivik> host`, thats rather easy, log into the router in your browser
[02:03] <host`> the router is set up, I just need to connect to it with the right IP
[02:04] <Sivik> Squatch, apt-cache search
[02:04] <sidny4> host` you'll have to configure the router to forward those to your ip
[02:04] <fraroco> well I have the room of IRC how can I know what it is the server??
[02:04] <host`> that's already configured
[02:04] <nex_> does anyone know of a video converter for linux to turn .avi, divx, into .vob?
[02:04] <Sivik> host`, well, the router should assign an ip, and then you just tell the router to forward to that ip address
[02:04] <troughton> nex_ look at tovid
[02:04] <Sivik> thats a router end thing, not a client end thing
[02:04] <sidny4> ok, are you the only person using the router?
[02:04] <host`> no I'm not
[02:05] <nex_> troughton, thanks
[02:05] <Sivik> sidny4, how are you connecting to is, wired or wireless?
[02:05] <troughton> nex_ look at tovid
[02:05] <troughton> hi i am trying to set up a home network i have installed samba on both mashiens but how do i browse accross the network ??
[02:05] <sidny4> wireless
[02:05] <avagant> Now i can't hear sound in youtube at all.
[02:05] <avagant> Somebody!
[02:05] <avagant> Anybody!
[02:05] <bruenig> tovid is awful
[02:05] <Sivik> troughton, you have to be able to ping both mechines
[02:05] <bruenig> avagant, it is time you learned a little something about adobe flash 7 for linux....it sucks
[02:05] <Sivik> troughton, aka they have to have the same network portion of the ip
[02:06] <sidny4> host` you'll want to make the router assign your mac address the specific IP you want
[02:06] <avagant> No but I had it working just last night.
[02:06] <troughton> have done Sivik
[02:06] <Sivik> troughton, both running linux?
[02:06] <avagant> In fact I was listening to music AND watching youtube.
[02:06] <sidny4> otherwise if you request that ip and someone else has that ip neither one of you will get online
[02:06] <Squatch> Sivik: When I search for xvkbd or xbindkeys, absolutely nothing pops up.
[02:06] <avagant> So what's the deal here?
[02:06] <Sivik> Squatch, then you don't have the correct repos opened
[02:06] <avagant> HOW DO YOU START ALSA
[02:06] <troughton> yes Sivik
[02:06] <LjL> !caps
[02:06] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[02:06] <mcphail> nex_: there's a script called "any2dvd", but i haven't used it
[02:06] <Buglouse> I'm tring to find the package "DSS" it is supposed to be a media streamer... I can't seem to find it .. does anyone konw where i would be located?
[02:07] <avagant> Ya ya I know, but it isn't even showing I "have" alsa.
[02:07] <Sivik> troughton, there shouldn't be a problem
[02:07] <nex_> mcphail, let me see
[02:07] <Sivik> troughton, you should be able to pull both computers up in samba, thats what i do
[02:07] <fraroco> well I have the name-room of IRC how can I know what it is the server??
[02:07] <troughton> the network is not showing anyware how do i pull up the network in samba Sivik ??
[02:08] <Monsuco> ok, so I fixed X,  but how do I find the correct driver?
[02:08] <avagant> Also how do I configure opera to use alsa or whatever?
[02:08] <sidny4> fraroco, what are you talking about?
[02:08] <Sivik> troughton, working on it, i haven't used samba in a whle

[02:13] <sidny4> fraroco, what program are you using?
[02:13] <fraroco> xchat-genome
[02:13] <sidny4> ok, where does it list your channels? left or bottom?
[02:13] <bruenig> Squatch, I believe you only need xbindkeys for that, but if you want xvkbd, more power to you
[02:14] <Squatch> bruenig: Well, just following some walkthroughs I found >_<...  No clue really what I'm doing with these.  Regardless, I can't get either package ATM.
[02:14] <thoreauputic> !repos
[02:14] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[02:14] <sidny4> Sivik, so you want to start samba from the terminal that opens up a configuration window?
[02:15] <bruenig> Squatch, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#head-5bbef89639d9a7d93fe38f6356dc17847d373096
[02:15] <Monsuco> how do I find out what kind of graphics card I have
[02:15] <Squatch> yes?
[02:15] <bruenig> Squatch, you might also want to get xbindkeys-config, that gives you a nice graphical interface to configure xbindkeys
[02:16] <fraroco> sidny4: xchat-genome
[02:16] <Squatch> bruenig: Cool, I'll look into that as soon as I can figure out this repo mess...
[02:16] <bruenig> Squatch, follow that link I just gave you to enable the extra repos
[02:16] <bruenig> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu#head-5bbef89639d9a7d93fe38f6356dc17847d373096
[02:16] <sidny4> fraroco, where are your channels listed
[02:17] <sidny4> left side, bottom...?
[02:17] <thoreauputic> Monsuco: lspci | grep -i VGA
[02:17] <thoreauputic> Monsuco: that should find it
[02:17] <fraroco> how where?
[02:17] <ixian> what is a good video player for playing asf files? ive tried vlc, totem, and mplayer.. something always screws up (sound skips in vlc, crashes in totem and mplayer)
[02:17] <bruenig> totem plays asf perfectly for me
[02:18] <fraroco> sidny4: how where?
[02:18] <Monsuco> ok
[02:18] <PacketScan> i'm vond of mplayer
[02:18] <Monsuco> thank you
[02:18] <PacketScan> fond even
[02:18] <fraroco> sidny4: did you mean where I get them?
[02:18] <sidny4> yeah
[02:18] <ixian> bruenig: well it used to play them fine for me too but it crashes since i installed video card drivers
[02:18] <bruenig> ixian, you may need w32codecs for them since it is a windows media format
[02:18] <ixian> i have that; :(
[02:18] <Squatch> bruenig: Thanks a ton for all your help, searching through these pages ^_^.
[02:18] <Buglouse> I'm looking for a Plugin (for xmms, amarok, andy other media players) or stand alone progie that will allow me to stream mp3 content to a shoutcast server
[02:19] <bruenig> ixian, it wouldn't crash because of a video card. The program at least wouldn't crash
[02:19] <kitche> Buglouse: you need the shoutcast dj tools to do that
[02:20] <loper06> im getting this error when im trying to install vmware. anybody? "Unable to get the access rights of source file "./vmware-vix/bin".
[02:20] <loper06> "
[02:20] <Psykus> has anyone had any luck getting a netgear WG111v2 USB adapter working under ubuntu? i saw v1 on the wiki, no mention of v2
[02:20] <kitche> loper-6: are you sudoing?
[02:21] <harisund> Has anybody tried to dual boot a system with 2 Linuxes?
[02:21] <Sivik> i'm having problems getting amarok seeing my zen micro
[02:21] <loper06> yes. im actually in root
[02:21] <bruenig> ixian, also, don't know if this will help but asf is a container file, so could be a problem for whatever it is containing not asf itself
[02:21] <kitche> harisund: yes that is pretty easy to do really
[02:21] <harisund> kitche, ah! a positive suggestion. Good start, i would say. So how do I setup the boot partitions and the grub?
[02:22] <loper06> kitche: does the owner have to be root:root?
[02:22] <Sivik> loper06, you can change that
[02:22] <harisund> kitche, let's say I install Ubuntu first. All good. Now if I were to install, say, nexenta or gentoo, it will overwrite the mbr with its own grub right?
[02:22] <loper06> Sivik: why am i getting this error then?
[02:22] <Sivik> loper06, what the error?
[02:22] <loper06> Unable to get the access rights of source file "./vmware-vix/bin".
[02:23] <sethk> harisund, all the distros have a "do you want to overwrite the mbr" confirmation question, but if you answer yes, then it usually will
[02:23] <kitche> harisund: it might but ti should see ubuntu
[02:23] <Sivik> loper06: do a ls -al, it will tell you all the permissions for that file
[02:23] <sethk> harisund, however the MBR will be backed up first.
[02:23] <Sivik> and even if it does, it should pick up the kernel for ubuntu
[02:23] <fraroco> sidny4: did you mean where I get them?
[02:24] <harisund> sethk, ok. So let's assume the MBR is overwritten by nexenta. Now I see the nexenta kernel and the Ubuntu kernel. Now I boot into UBuntu and install a new kernel. However Ubuntu doesn't know about nexenta kernel, right? What happens if it overwrites the MBR to reflect the new kernel?
[02:24] <godzirra> how do I reconfigure grub?  for some reason last time I booted into linux it took away my windows xp entry in the menu.list
[02:24] <sethk> harisund, you are already wrong on sentence two
[02:24] <Sivik> harisund, but grub will fix it, grub is grub no matter who uses it
[02:24] <Tussius> hey
[02:24] <sethk> harisund, if it overwrites the grub in the MBR, it will use its own config file, and it will only see its own kernel
[02:24] <Sivik> Tussius, hi
[02:24] <Tussius> how do I go about to install an older version of java?
[02:24] <sethk> godzirra, edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:24] <loper06> Sivik: ./vmware-vix/bin is not exist. however, ./bin does
[02:24] <harisund> Sivik the /boot/grub/menu.lst file will have to be the same for both OS, right?
[02:24] <harisund> or atleast synchronized?
[02:24] <sethk> godzirra, you can find how to boot windows in:      info grub
[02:25] <Tussius> it seems the newest has problems with a java program I'm trying to run
[02:25] <godzirra> sethk: I dont know what to add. it automatically added it last time when I booted up the system.
[02:25] <sethk> harisund, no
[02:25] <Sivik> harisund, it should be correct no matter who uses it
[02:25] <Sivik> loper06, do you know where the vmware-vix/bin folder is?
[02:25] <sethk> godzirra, it's in the info I referenced.  I can tell you if you know the partition where windows is running.
[02:25] <sethk> godzirra, where windows is installed, rather
[02:25] <harisund> Sivik, sethk .. let's say I share the /boot partition across both operating systems (I use only OS that have a grub, no Windows..) . Do you think that would be a good idea or no?
[02:25] <kitche> harisund: anyways nexenta isn't a linux so it won't overwrite ubuntu's kernel if your worried about that
[02:25] <godzirra> I do.  its /dev/sda1
[02:25] <loper06> Sivik: i assume in vmware-server-distrib
[02:26] <Psykus> has anyone had any luck getting a netgear WG111v2 USB adapter working under ubuntu? i saw v1 on the wiki, no mention of v2. suppose I could try it anyway, just throwing the driver into ndiswrapper, but i'm using windows on the system at the moment (laptop)
[02:26] <harisund> kitche, no I am not worried about any kernels being overwritten. I am worried about  a new menu.lst being created that doesn't show the other OS' kernel.
[02:26] <Sivik> harisund, thats how i did it
[02:26] <fraroco> somebody how can I find the server of a room of irc??
[02:26] <sethk> harisund, that's exactly what will happen
[02:26] <sethk> harisund, the new menu.lst _will_ be created
[02:26] <sethk> harisund, and it _will_ have only the new OS
[02:27] <Sivik> fraroco, this one is on irc.freenode.net
[02:27] <sethk> harisund, but you simply edit the file, and add the old one to it.
[02:27] <Sivik> fraroco, what do you mean
[02:27] <harisund> sethk ok that clears up things ;) ..
[02:27] <harisund> Sivik that's how you did it? Means? how?
[02:27] <fraroco> Sivik #Tuxteno no
[02:27] <Sivik> harisund, and even if it doesn't, its not that hard to edit that file and fix it
[02:27] <kitche> harisund: grub will see the other distro automatically at least in my opinion it does
[02:27] <Sivik> harisund, as long as you don't format the /boot partition, it should regonize all the kernels on there
[02:27] <Sivik> fraroco, are you connected to it
[02:27] <harisund> Sivik, ah neat... thanks ..
[02:28] <Sivik> harisund, yw
[02:28] <harisund> thanks a bunch sethk too .. I am going to try then ..
[02:28] <kitche> harisund: sicne I installed grub from source and it seen my distro automatically without configuring it
[02:28] <bsdfox> hey does nm-applet work with WPA? I only see WEP 128-bit Passphrase and WEP 64/128-bit Hex/ASCII
[02:29] <fraroco> sivik now, well my big problem is that with firefox can not conect to it because I have problems whit java in firefox. so I wanna conect to it from xchat
[02:29] <SinnerG> with iptables, how can I check if a certain rule has been set?
[02:29] <harisund> kitche installed grub from source? You mean you compiled grub? Any particular reason why you did so?
[02:29] <harisund> SinnerG, iptables -t {nat,filter} -L -v
[02:29] <harisund> choose between the nat and filter (default) tables
[02:29] <niroxx> how can i make a video of my desktop ?
[02:29] <kitche> harisund: umm yeah my distro doesn't use grub that I use it uses lilo and I don't like it
[02:30] <harisund> kitche ah ok .. and that distro is?
[02:30] <Sivik> fraroco, try installing j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin
[02:30] <bruenig> probably slackware, using lilo would go along with using kernels that are 5 years old
[02:31] <kitche> bruenig:" I use 2.6.18 :)
[02:31] <fraroco> apt-get install j2re1.4-mozilla-plugin??
[02:31] <Sivik> yes
[02:31] <Sivik> try that
[02:31] <Sivik> you might have to sudo it
[02:31] <bruenig> kitche was it slackware?
[02:31] <kitche> bsdfox: make sure that you have wpa_supplicant installed
[02:31] <bruenig> was i right?
[02:31] <digip1mp> omg how do I get the wireless configuration util to show up in gnome?
[02:31] <kitche> bruenig: yeah but then again most distros give you a choice to use lilo or grub
[02:31] <bruenig> yes :)
[02:31] <Sivik> digip1mp, what hw
[02:31] <sethk> kitche, nothing wrong with lilo
[02:32] <Sivik> kitche, other distros use lilo as well
[02:32] <kitche> Sivik as I said they do
[02:32] <bsdfox> kitche, I do, and it opens an instance of wpa_supplicant when I am trying to connect.. but it doesn't work
[02:32] <Sivik> kitche, so whats the problem with it
[02:33] <Sivik> fraroco, did that help
[02:33] <digip1mp> wpc54g linksys card...
[02:33] <BrianG> can someone help me install BitTornado 0.3.15 on Dapper?
[02:33] <kitche> Sivik sethk let see running /sbin/lilo each time I upgrade my kernel :)
[02:33] <Sivik> BrianG, why bittornado, try something from aptitude
[02:33] <fraroco> Sivik:  I am download it
[02:33] <Sivik> kitche, that should work
[02:33] <Sivik> fraroco, why that one?
[02:33] <godzirra> info grub didnt raelly show me much :/
[02:33] <digip1mp> Sivik: wpc54g
[02:34] <BrianG> Sivik: because those don't work right. I need to use BitTornado 0.3.15
[02:34] <kitche> Sivik: but I like grub much more since I started to use it umm I upgrade my kernel alot Sivik since I use native wireless and it seems that it gets better on each release
[02:34] <Sivik> you can install ktorrent or bittorrent
[02:34] <BrianG> i dont want thsoe
[02:34] <Sivik> kitche, ok, then just install grub and it shoudl regonize the kernels
[02:34] <ashzilla> When I'm using GNU Ftp
[02:34] <ashzilla> how do I remove a file
[02:34] <ashzilla> ?
[02:34] <Sivik> BrianG: then run ./configure and then make and then sudo make install
[02:34] <emileifrem> Does anyone know how to install a latin1 locale in dapper?
[02:34] <fraroco> Sivik: do not have I to download it?
[02:34] <Sivik> BrianG, it was a tar that you untarred
[02:35] <bsdfox> hmm, my atheros card connected to it no problem. Is there a wpa issue with bcm4306/rt2500 chips?
[02:35] <Sivik> fraroco, so you haven't downloaded it yet
[02:35] <emileifrem> I need to be able to set LANG=en_US.ISO-8859-1
[02:35] <BrianG> i tried ./configure
[02:35] <bun-bun> BrianG:: the repositories have 0.3.13, it's what i'm using
[02:35] <Sivik> what does it say
[02:35] <BrianG> Sivik: yes
[02:35] <kitche> Sivik: it does .. but then again you didn't read what I kept saying
[02:35] <Sivik> BrianG: what did it say
[02:35] <BrianG> bun-bun: 0.3.13 isn't 0.3.15 ;)
[02:35] <Sivik> kitche, sorry
[02:35] <Sivik> why do you need 0.3.15?
[02:35] <Sivik> whats wrong with 0.3.13
[02:36] <BrianG> won't work ont he tracker i use
[02:36] <godzirra> So can anyone help get my xp partiation added to grub?
[02:36] <BrianG> hang on i'll tell you waht it said
[02:36] <Sivik> !pastebin
[02:36] <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)
[02:37] <ashzilla> When I'm using GNU ftp how do I remove a file remotely
[02:37] <BrianG> bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[02:37] <kitche> ashzilla: you mean the command line version?
[02:37] <sethk> BrianG,  you are in the wrong directory
[02:37] <aFx> ashzilla : remove in console mode
[02:37] <BrianG> how do i find o ut which is the right one?
[02:37] <sethk> brianG   ./configure means run the configure program here (./ mean in the current directory)
[02:38] <sethk> BrianG, did you extract from a tar archive?
[02:38] <sethk> brianG, extract source?
[02:38] <Nicole> hello, I got a Video CApture Kworld card and I am connecting my video camara, but I don't know where to start, what can I do
[02:38] <BrianG> i extracted http://download2.bittornado.com/download/BitTornado-0.3.15.tar.gz to my home
[02:38] <Sivik> Nicole, did you try checking wiki.ubuntu.com for that card
[02:38] <kitche> ashzilla: well it's delete if your using the console version
[02:38] <sethk> BrianG, then it is in $HOME/BitTornad0-0.3.15
[02:39] <ixian> is there a torrent program similar to uTorrent for linux?
[02:39] <sethk> BitTornado, I put a zero instead of the o
[02:39] <Sivik> ixian: ktorrent
[02:39] <Sivik> ixian: bittorrent
[02:39] <BrianG> sethk: that dosen't exist
[02:39] <Sivik> ixian: there are a bunch of different torrent programs for linux
[02:39] <LSD`> I use rtorrent myself
[02:39] <sethk> BrianG, ok, then do this:   ls -ld Bit*
[02:40] <sethk> BrianG, or, an easier way,    do   ls -ltr | tail -1
[02:40] <Sivik> BrianG, is there a install.sh file in that folder
[02:40] <ixian> i know there are lots but i like utorrent in windows so i wanted a similar one for linux
[02:40] <godzirra> So can anyone help get my xp partiation added to grub?
[02:40] <sethk> godzirra, did you answer my question about which partition windows is installed onto?
[02:40] <godzirra> sethk: I did.  I said /deb/sda1 :)
[02:40] <BrianG> it made a folder BitTornado-CVS
[02:40] <LSD`> ixian: you could try running utorrent in wine
[02:40] <godzirra> err /dev
[02:40] <sethk> godzirra, no such thing.  do you mean /dev/sda1?
[02:40] <ixian> LSD`: thats an idea
[02:40] <sethk> BrianG, ok, then     cd BitTornado-CVS
[02:41] <godzirra> sethk: yes, hence me saying "err/ dev" right after that :)
[02:41] <sethk> BrianG   you can do      cd BitT<tab>              (<tab> means press the tab key, which fills in the rest of the name)
[02:41] <godzirra> I'm on a laggy connection to my linux box.
[02:41] <ixian> is azureus similar to utorrent?
[02:41] <sethk> godzirra, k
[02:41] <ugarit> I'm trying to have perl executed as a cgi in apache2 and my webclient wants to downloaded it.  What's wrong?
[02:41] <Pierre> Gods_gift: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_add_Windows_entry_into_GRUB_menu
[02:41] <sethk> godzirra, so you add to the menu.lst file:
[02:41] <Pierre> arg
[02:41] <Pierre> godzirra: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper#How_to_add_Windows_entry_into_GRUB_menu
[02:41] <BrianG> im in BitTornado-CVS
[02:41] <BrianG> bash: ./configure: No such file or directory
[02:41] <kitche> ixian: well azureus is a Java program it's sorta a memory hog but it's nice
[02:42] <ashzilla> Does anyone know how to upload a directory recursively with ftp?
[02:42] <digip1mp> Sivik: wpc54g linksys card... tried loading the windows drivers with ndiswrapper...
[02:42] <Sivik> digip1mp, not sure
[02:42] <sethk> BrianG, oh, if it's from CVS, that's not what you do
[02:42] <sidny4> anyone know how to test surround sound?
[02:42] <LjL> ashzilla: i don't know, but the "wput" package should be able to do that
[02:42] <BrianG> i extracted http://download2.bittornado.com/download/BitTornado-0.3.15.tar.gz to my home
[02:42] <sethk> godzirra, hold on, I'm still looking it up for you
[02:42] <Sivik> ashzilla, try using send /folder/folder -rF
[02:42] <godzirra> sethk: I got myost of it off that site that was just pasted
[02:42] <sethk> BrianG, yes, I know.  for a CVS pull, you don't start with ./configure
[02:42] <Sivik> BrianG: what are the files that are inside of that folder
[02:42] <BrianG> i just want ot know where i need to be or what to look for in order to ./configure
[02:43] <godzirra> just trying to see whether /dev/sda1 is (hd0,0)
[02:43] <ashzilla> Sivik: I will, thank you
[02:43] <sethk> godzirra, ok, then you don't need me, good luck.
[02:43] <Sivik> ashzilla, yw
[02:43] <godzirra> sethk: thanks for your help
[02:43] <sethk> godzirra, there is a file in /boot/grub that tells you which device is hd0
[02:43] <Brendon> Hi all, i'm having issues getting my mouse (logitech g7) to work, basically once x is open all i can do is move the mouse up and down. The mouse is plugged into a kvm switch (usb) but i tried plugging it into the pc directly but still got the same effect. Any ideas?
[02:43] <Sivik> BrianG, is there a file in that folder that you extracted that is currently green?
[02:43] <sethk> godzirra, called device.map
[02:44] <godzirra> ahh ko
[02:44] <godzirra> Got it.
[02:44] <BrianG> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/26028/
[02:44] <godzirra> How do I make the windows partition the default one?
[02:44] <BrianG> green? thay're all green.
[02:44] <sethk> BrianG, ./configure is _not_ step one when you extract from CVS.   are you in the directory?  If you are, and if you are paying attention, I'll tell you how to do it.
[02:44] <ashzilla> Sivik: local: /home/ashzilla/Desktop/test remote: -rF
[02:44] <ashzilla> /home/ashzilla/Desktop/test: not a plain file.
[02:44] <BrianG> sethk: im in ~/BitTornado-CVS
[02:45] <ashzilla> local: /home/ashzilla/Desktop/test remote: -rF
[02:45] <ashzilla> /home/ashzilla/Desktop/test: not a plain file.
[02:45] <ashzilla> Oops, sorry for the double past
[02:45] <ashzilla> I was scrolled up. :x
[02:45] <sethk> BrianG, yes, I know that, I told you to cd to it, remember?
[02:45] <Sivik> BrianG: what happens if you run ./BitTornado ?
[02:45] <BrianG> just making sure we're on the same page
[02:45] <avagant> Ok guys I have a sound question haha.
[02:45] <BrianG> bash: ./BitTornado: is a directory
[02:45] <sethk> BrianG, I'll check in with you in a few minutes after you get done wasting time.
[02:46] <Sivik> avagant, what kind of sound problem
[02:46] <Sivik> BrianG, then go into that folder
[02:46] <Sivik> BrianG, if its a folder, then its not green
[02:46] <avagant> i just ran a script i found on a website to see if my sound was set up properly.
[02:46] <BrianG> colors don't help much, i have green text on a black background
[02:46] <avagant> and one of the messages was something along the lines that module config does not exist.
[02:46] <Sivik> BrianG, are you not in a x?
[02:46] <BrianG> brian@bertha:~/BitTornado-CVS/BitTornado$
[02:46] <avagant> http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=aadebug I got it from here.
[02:47] <avagant> it said "module conf does not exist and my kernel will not be autoloaded?"
[02:47] <storm-zen> Has anyone seen this message before: hub 2-0:1.0: connect-debounce failed, port 1 disabled ?
[02:47] <Nicole> Sivik nothing :(
[02:48] <BrianG> i'm in GNOME Terminal
[02:49] <Sivik> well, having green text is stupid, its hard to tell what is executable and whats not
[02:49] <ashzilla> Sivik: any last ideas?
[02:49] <avagant> it also says "cat /proc/asound/hwdep no such file or directory"
[02:49] <Sivik> ashzilla, what was the problem again and what did you try, i have way to omuch ging on
[02:49] <ashzilla> Sivik: nevermind, I'll figure it out later.
[02:50] <Sivik> ashzilla, k
[02:50] <BrianG> Sivik: ok it's on default so now we can color code
[02:50] <troughton> i got samba working now but how do i copy files accross the network Sivik ??
[02:50] <Sivik> BrianG, what of those files are colored
[02:51] <sethk> BrianG, you still don't want to know how to do it?
[02:51] <Sivik> ok, you can't tell by terminal
[02:51] <BrianG> in ~/BitTornado-CVS/BitTornado ? none.
[02:51] <LstyWnch> I need some help.  I think I muffed something.  When I double click a .bin file it tries to open in gedit
[02:51] <Sivik> can you open nautilus or something?
[02:51] <Sivik> LstyWnch, that means you haven't chmod it yet
[02:51] <BrianG> sethk: what are you talking about?
[02:51] <Dr_willis> LstyWnch,  what is this .bin supposed to be?
[02:51] <Sivik> .bin is normally a cd image
[02:51] <LstyWnch> java install packet
[02:52] <Sivik> LstyWnch, sudo chmod +x filename.bin
[02:52] <Sivik> LstyWnch, and then sudo ./filename.bin
[02:52] <Dr_willis> LstyWnch,  why not use the java pacakges in the repos?
[02:52] <Dr_willis> !java
[02:52] <ubotu> To install a java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the Multiverse repository
[02:52] <troughton> i got samba working now but how do i copy files accross the network Sivik ??
[02:52] <avagant> Anybody?
[02:52] <Sivik> LstyWnch, what dr willis said
[02:52] <sethk> BrianG, I've offered to tell you how to do it several times, but you ignore me.
[02:52] <Sivik> troughton, do you have the right preledges when you connect to the other computer
[02:52] <Sivik> like the way an ftp works
[02:52] <BrianG> i'm open to anything
[02:52] <kRaKoN> hi
[02:52] <BrianG> i obviously want help or i wouldn't have asked for it
[02:53] <troughton> i am in terminal i should have full access
[02:53] <Sivik> troughton, just because you in terminal, doesn't mean crap
[02:53] <sethk> BrianG, seems that way, that's why I thought it was strange that you keep trying to run configure after I told you that configure isn't what you need to do.
[02:53] <Dr_willis> troughton,  the logic of that statement... is.. well.. lacking. :)
[02:53] <Sivik> troughton, i can login on my other computer as a guest and i only have access to certain file
[02:54] <sethk> BrianG, anyway, let me know when you are ready
[02:54] <newpZ> hi has anyone had success getting mplayer-plugin or gxine working in opera? ive been trying all day hehe
[02:54] <kRaKoN> I would like to get some information about ubuntu server I used ubuntu desktope but now that i intalled ubun server i don't know how to do most of the things because i don't have a grafic enviroment. I would like to setup a webserver on that one but i don't know how to do it, is there anybook, or tutorial?
[02:54] <troughton> ok so how do i access using comand privalage ??
[02:54] <Dr_willis> kRaKoN,  why not just install the desktop, and then install the server packages you want to use.
[02:54] <BrianG> sethk: i told you i was in the directory (because you asked)
[02:54] <BrianG> sethk: now what?
[02:54] <Sivik> troughton, sudo su if you know the root password
[02:55] <Sivik> just like you would do with something else
[02:55] <sethk> BrianG, you must be confusing me with someone else.  I'm the one who told you to cd to the directory.  In any event, are you ready to try to build it?
[02:55] <kitche> !apache > kRaKoN
[02:55] <BrianG> yeah
[02:55] <thoreauputic> kRaKoN: http://doc.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/index.html
[02:55] <kRaKoN> Dr_willis: I did that before but with some reading i found out that the server version comes with more security, security that i don't know how to setup by myself
[02:55] <LstyWnch> I have another question.  Why can't I access root?  I installed and put all the passwords in.
[02:56] <sethk> LstyWnch, you need to set the root password
[02:56] <Dr_willis> kRaKoN,  id like to know what 'more security' it would come with.
[02:56] <thoreauputic> !root
[02:56] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:56] <Dr_willis> given how locked down ubuntu desktop is.
[02:56] <sethk> LstyWnch, the expert mode install prompts you for the root password, but the desktop does not.
[02:56] <Sivik> LstyWnch, you have to use sudo, you can't log into the system as root
[02:56] <sethk> BrianG, are you there?
[02:56] <kRaKoN> Lstywnch: you can use 'sudo su' to access like root
[02:56] <LstyWnch> K
[02:57] <BrianG> sethk: yeah
[02:57] <sethk> BrianG, are    python and wxPython isntalled?
[02:57] <BrianG> sethk: yeah
[02:57] <zizban> the installer on edgy eft is either really slow or doesn't work
[02:57] <sethk> BrianG,  ok, then, do this:         python setup.py install
[02:57] <LstyWnch> where does the file need to be located when I run sudo chmod?
[02:57] <kRaKoN> Dr:willis: well i don't know much about this , but i am consediring your suggestion as my second option ;)
[02:57] <Sivik> LstyWnch, it really doesn't matter where its located
[02:57] <sethk> LstyWnch, use the full path, then it won't matter what the current directory is.
[02:58] <BrianG> sethk: without sudo?
[02:58] <Sivik> LstyWnch, as long as you chmod +x it, it should be fine
[02:58] <LstyWnch> Sivik, it said no such file or directory
[02:58] <Tru7h> !installation
[02:58] <sethk> BrianG, I assume you need to be root, so use sudo
[02:58] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues
[02:58] <zizban> ah thank ye
[02:58] <sethk> BrianG, I don't sudo, I build as normal and install as root.  but sudo is fine.
[02:58] <BrianG> sethk: ok done
[02:59] <sethk> BrianG, ok, now you are ready to start
[02:59] <BrianG> eyah
[02:59] <Sivik> are you in the directory of the file that your trying to chmod +x to
[02:59] <troughton> so why is it so hard to access and share files on a linux network ???
[02:59] <sethk> BrianG, it suggests a line in /etc/mailcap as follows:
[02:59] <sethk> BrianG, application/x-bittorrent; /usr/bin/btdownloadgui.py %s; test=test -n "$DISPLAY"
[02:59] <troughton> all i want to do is copy files from my desktop to my laptop
[02:59] <sethk> troughton, not the least bit hard.  I do it all day long
[03:00] <troughton> how sethk ??
[03:00] <Dr_willis> troughton,  gee i find it rather trivial
[03:00] <sethk> troughton, what's the laptop running and what's the desktop running?
[03:00] <troughton> both running ubuntu
[03:00] <sethk> troughton, then you can transfer using sftp, or scp.
[03:00] <sethk> troughton, if those are missing, do (as root) apt-get install openssh-server     on both boxes
[03:01] <BrianG> sethk: one exists already but /usr/bin/btdownloadgui rather than /usr/bin/btdownloadgui.py
[03:01] <sethk> BrianG, right, they say to replace it.
[03:01] <BrianG> ok
[03:02] <sethk> BrianG, personally I would comment it out rather than replace  :)
[03:02] <LstyWnch> heh, duh, much easier to use the repository method
[03:02] <haary> Anyone knows a mp3player for X which is not QT or GTK based?
[03:02] <sethk> BrianG, then, theoretically, you are ready to click on a bit torrent thing.
[03:03] <BrianG> ok, edited
[03:03] <kitche> haary: most X players are qt or gtk based
[03:03] <troughton> ok sethk openssh-server on both computers
[03:03] <haary> kitche, I know, thats why I ask :-)
[03:03] <sid> If ubuntu is based in Isle of man(for tax purposes?) and their head quarters are in London, why is mplayer mangled to shit to remove some patented crap?
[03:04] <BrianG> sethk: 0.3.15 is now installed?
[03:04] <kitche> haary: I was gonna say xmms2 then remembered that it's console based
[03:04] <sid> Why does Ubuntu removed patented crap if they aren't in America, but are in Europe
[03:04] <haary> A mp3 player based on fox or fltk would be goog
[03:04] <haary> good
[03:04] <ChocoCid> because it's illegal for a usa person to have it, i think
[03:04] <sid> ChocoCid: right
[03:04] <sid> ChocoCid: but who cares
[03:04] <sid> fsck USA
[03:04] <LjL> !offtopic
[03:04] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[03:04] <ChocoCid> furthermore, ubuntu and debian have the philosophy that they only come with Free software
[03:05] <ChocoCid> which is why multiverse and universe are separated from the Free stuff
[03:05] <troughton> ok sethk what now ??
[03:05] <ChocoCid> (note the capital F there)
[03:05] <sid> OpenOffice.org probably has at least 100 patents in it, if you ask any knowledgeable OO.o dev who knows about patents.
[03:05] <kitche> sid: it to make FSF happy but then again FSF if you show people how to install it then FSF looks down upon your distro
[03:05] <sid> But OO.o is still in Ubuntu
[03:05] <BrianG> sethk: i got it running now. thank you for your help
[03:06] <LjL> ChocoCid: actually, the distinction with Universe is that its package are not mantained by the ubuntu core developers...
[03:06] <ChocoCid> er, ok, multiverse then
[03:06] <sid> Is there an ubuntu-legal like the debian-legal?
[03:06] <kitche> sid: umm it's not about patents it's more about the laws dealing with those patents and OO.o doesn't break any laws in reality
[03:06] <sid> kitche: sure it does, american patent law
[03:06] <sid> There are features that are infringing on others patents
[03:06] <sethk> BrianG,  np
[03:07] <LjL> could this possibly continue in #ubuntu-offtopic?
[03:07] <sid> kitche: Is there a website about this stuff? I can't find one.
[03:07] <sid> There doesn't seem to be a ubuntu-legal like there is debian-legal either.
[03:07] <Madpilot> sid, given that OOo is primarily developed by an American company (Sun), it's probably legal in the US... and in any case, please move this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[03:07] <thoreauputic> sid: I agree with LjL - take it to #ubuntu-offtopic please
[03:08] <kRaKoN> does anyone has install cpanel on ubuntu?
[03:08] <wickedpuppy> kRaKoN, is cpanel free ? i also wanna get ...
[03:08] <kitche> kRaKoN: probably not since you need a license for it
[03:09] <aSt3raL> what program can i use as a terminal on a serial port?
[03:09] <wickedpuppy> lol there goes my hopes kitche
[03:09] <LjL> aSt3raL: minicom
[03:09] <Madpilot> cpanel is decidedly non-free - licenses are expensive
[03:09] <troughton> sethk i have installed openssh-server what now ??
[03:09] <kitche> wickedpuppy there is free alternatives to it though
[03:09] <meatface> hey all
[03:09] <sethk> troughton, now you can sftp from one machine to the other.   or you can scp
[03:09] <wickedpuppy> kitche, like ... webmin ?
[03:09] <kRaKoN> kitche: but they give a trial, or do you know any control panel like cpanel that is for free?
[03:10] <thoreauputic> troughton: or you can use "connect to server" and specify ssh
[03:10] <wickedpuppy> kRaKoN, webmin ... its the closest i can think
[03:10] <kRaKoN> wickedpuppy: have you used it?
[03:10] <kitche> kRaKoN and wickedpupyp let me find one that is good webmin isn't what I m thinking of
[03:10] <wickedpuppy> kRaKoN, tes
[03:11] <wickedpuppy> thanks kitche
[03:11] <wickedpuppy> there is a web app better than webmin ? wow ... cool ...
[03:12] <kRaKoN> right webin is not that good
[03:13] <sethk> kRaKoN, webmin is great for some things.
[03:13] <Tennessee> Hi all .. does anyone here have any recommendations for system monitoring over the web?
[03:13] <kitche> kRaKoN and wickedpupyp VHCS which is open source I like that one
[03:13] <hollaback83> I cant chat other than irc and yahoo please help
[03:14] <wickedpuppy> VHCS ?
[03:15] <wickedpuppy> ah k let me check
[03:15] <hollaback83> I learned how to write a language got familiar with linux/unix and still dont know how to hack. can anyone help????
[03:15] <troughton> thoreauptic when i set a connect to server ssh i have put in my desktop name but it says can not find
[03:16] <hawkaloogie> hollaback83, what is your definition of "hack"?
[03:16] <wickedpuppy> hollaback83, and what language ?
[03:16] <ixian> what does it mean when a package has the little ubuntu circle thing by it in synaptic package manager?
[03:16] <hollaback83> i really dont know that is the problem. I guess it means to go somewhere without permission
[03:17] <hawkaloogie> hollaback83, that is called "Cracking", and it is illegal
[03:17] <hawkaloogie> do not ask for help on cracking on this network
[03:17] <hollaback83> so whats hacking
[03:17] <LjL> hollaback83: doing unusual and interesting stuff with computers
[03:17] <kitche> hollaback83: pretty much it means your a nerd :)
[03:17] <darkaura> can some one tell me how I can restore my mp3 player I tried formating it and it went dead
[03:17] <LjL> or that
[03:17] <halex-ab> ixian, it means it's part of the main repos, not in Universe, Multiverse, or your custom repos
[03:18] <ixian> oh i see.. thanks
[03:18] <hollaback83> i understand
[03:18] <troughton> thoreauptic when i set a connect to server ssh i have put in my desktop name but it says can not find
[03:18] <wickedpuppy> hollaback83, i would like to know what language you learnt ?
[03:18] <hollaback83> python
[03:18] <k82l> ..
[03:18] <hollaback83> and some of c++
[03:19] <hollaback83> the easiest ha ha
[03:19] <hawkaloogie> and this took you how long?
[03:19] <wickedpuppy> i thought shellcode + c ....
[03:20] <troughton> sethk i am new to linux how do i brows my network ??
[03:20] <hollaback83>  a few months for python and c++ i took inschool
[03:20] <hobbesmaster> troughton: as in smb shares
[03:20] <hobbesmaster> ?
[03:20] <hawkaloogie> hollaback83, so what have you done in those languages?
[03:21] <troughton> hobbesmaster as in smb shares meens nothing to me i am new to linux i dont know what you are talking about
[03:21] <hollaback83> the first program that i wrote let me use my webcam in black and white
[03:21] <pohwom> can you raid with 'fdisk' ?
[03:22] <wickedpuppy> troughton, browse your network like windows ? you can see all the computers connected to the same network as your computer ?
[03:22] <cschneid> how hard is a dual headed setup to do w/ nvidia drivers?
[03:22] <halex-ab> cschneid, not super hard.. lol
[03:22] <kRaKoN> kitche: VHCS looks great, I will install it right away
[03:22] <sethk> cschneid, not hard at all, you just edit the configuration file correctly.
[03:22] <kRaKoN> ktiche: thank you ;)
[03:22] <cschneid> sethk, so it's just an xorg.conf issue I can google up?
[03:23] <halex-ab> cschneid, as long as you have the nvidia driver already installed, yes..
[03:23] <cschneid> thats good :) thanks all
[03:23] <newpZ> hi how do i setup a vncserver on 1 pc so i can see the screen of the logged in user?
[03:24] <newpZ> vncserver ip:1         that give a new desktop
[03:24] <troughton> wickedpuppy i am running a linux ubuntu desktop and a linux ubuntu laptop i want to move files from my desktop to my laptop i have installed samba and openssh-server as i have been advised to by people in here but still cant see my network and when people advise me they leve me without me still having access
[03:24] <Pierre> !nvidia > cschneid
[03:24] <Pierre> cschneid: then twinview
[03:25] <GoldKeeper> erm..  does anyone know why my GUI would be super slow after upgrading to edgy ?
[03:25] <holycow> an error of some sort.  the new gnome version is super fast
[03:25] <wickedpuppy> wha .. troughton the moral of the story is don't do things unless you know ? well let me see if i can help ya there ... first ..is samba server running ??
[03:25] <kitche> troughton: well you need to use something like lineighborhood which is sorta like Network Neighboring in windows but for linux
[03:25] <troughton> yes
[03:25] <GoldKeeper> hmmm
[03:26] <GoldKeeper> let me try a reboot
[03:26] <holycow> troughton, samba is only usefull for windows access/services
[03:26] <holycow> troughton, just make sure you have ssh installed and do places / connect to server
[03:26] <troughton> wickeduppy this is basics in windows windows can see window and linux linux can see windows and exchange files without installing anything else or setting anything so why is it so hard in linux ?/
[03:26] <holycow> and type in the ssh information ... a link will be placed on your desktop, just click it and copy / paste files
[03:27] <holycow> troughton, its not hard, you just haveto know what you are doing and which protocol to use
[03:27] <holycow> on windows they have ONE protocol and it seems easy because everyone forgets that there is mroe than one way to transfer files
[03:27] <wickedpuppy> yup ... troughton we don't usually use smb for linux to linux ...
[03:27] <troughton> holycow i have ssh installed and have done places conect to server but what do i put under server
[03:27] <holycow> on linux its easier and far more secure you just need to know what protocol to match to what file sharing need
[03:28] <LjL> well, i do
[03:28] <holycow> troughton, ip address
[03:28] <troughton> i tryed ip address holycow
[03:28] <ChocoCid> need a port after it, maybe
[03:28] <holycow> port is 22
[03:28] <GoldKeeper> hmm
[03:28] <wickedpuppy> troughton, can tell us the exact ip address of the two machines and the command you are typing pls
[03:29] <holycow> username is the neame you login on th eother machine
[03:29] <sethk> ChocoCid, no, you don't use explicit ports
[03:30] <troughton> so i have to change the ip every time i reboot my computer ??
[03:30] <holycow> no
[03:30] <holycow> i told you
[03:30] <sethk> troughton, why?
[03:30] <holycow> it will place a shortcut on your desktop
[03:30] <holycow> jesus
[03:31] <sethk> troughton, if the machines are not in DNS and you reference them by IP and their IP address changes, then the command would change, yes, if that's what you mean.
[03:31] <troughton> i dont have static ip's everytime i reboot i my router gives each mashien a new ip
[03:31] <troughton> they are on a dns
[03:31] <digital_citizen_> holycow, holycow...........
[03:31] <holycow> troughton, then you need a local dns that tracks the machines
[03:31] <sethk> troughton, then use their name
[03:31] <hollaback83> Are there community groups in boston mass
[03:31] <Dr_willis> troughton,  you mean a DHCP ?
[03:31] <sethk> troughton, that's the entire point of DNS, so you can translate names to IP addresses
[03:31] <GoldKeeper> anyone have any ideas why my GUI is super slow after upgrading to edgy
[03:32] <kitche> hollaback83: yeah if you mean a LUG
[03:32] <troughton> dhcp yer sorry Dr_willis
[03:32] <sethk> GoldKeeper, specifically, no, but other people have had the same problem.
[03:32] <GoldKeeper> eek
[03:32] <holycow> GoldKeeper, try deleting your .gnome and .gnome2 dirs and loging out and logging back in
[03:32] <GoldKeeper> any fixs
[03:32] <GoldKeeper> ok
[03:32] <BrianG> sethk: i can safely remove this ~/BitTornado-CVS  correct?
[03:32] <sethk> troughton, if the machine name is   xyz,  then you would do    sftp whatever@xyz
[03:32] <hollaback83> yeah a lug
[03:32] <Dr_willis> troughton,  if you are running the dhcp server.. they can be set to assign specific ips to specific machines.. or just set up the box's to use static machines
[03:32] <sethk> BrianG, yes, but reverse the /etc/mailcap change
[03:33] <sethk> Dr_willis, he doesn't need to do that, the machines are in DNS
[03:33] <troughton> ok thanks
[03:33] <sethk> Dr_willis, he shouldn't be using IPs in the first place.
[03:33] <holycow> btw, you should be aware that windows machines find them selves because they run their own dns services internally
[03:33] <BrianG> sethk: why reverse it?
[03:33] <Dr_willis> sethk,  i think he miss-spoke and ment using DHCP when he said 'dns'
[03:33] <sethk> BrianG, because you said you are going to delete the program that it is pointing to
[03:33] <bruenig> can you open something with the terminal, and then close the terminal and have it still run?
[03:33] <sethk> Dr_willis, I don't think so, no, but I suppose it's possible.
[03:33] <GoldKeeper> deleting the .gnome dirs didnt seem to work
[03:34] <sethk> troughton, did you make an error when you said the machines are in DNS?
[03:34] <holycow> sethk, why not? how is he going to find resolve the machine names without dns?
[03:34] <kitche> bruenig: yes if you send the process to the background
[03:34] <troughton> yes i did sethk
[03:34] <Dr_willis> GoldKeeper,  theres also the .gconf* dirs
[03:34] <sethk> holycow, I didn't say he is going to resolve names without DNS.  I said that _he_ said that DNS is _already_ set up.
[03:34] <holycow> oh he has a dns server? in which case use the machine names
[03:34] <GoldKeeper> ill try thoose two
[03:34] <holycow> sethk, my bad *nod*
[03:34] <sethk> holycow, right, only now it turns out that apparently he hasn't  :)
[03:34] <bruenig> kitche, like lets say I want to open totem with the terminal, what would the command be, as opposed to just "totem" to have it be able to open and then stay open when I close the terminal
[03:34] <sethk> holycow, but he did say he had
[03:34] <Phuzion> Is there a network auto-config wizard thing through bash?
[03:34] <sethk> and Dr_willis is right again  :)
[03:35] <Dr_willis> :)
[03:35] <sethk> Phuzion, any program can be started with bash.   try network-admin
[03:35] <holycow> sethk, i missed that *nod*
[03:35] <Dr_willis> a "FIRST" according to my wife...
[03:35] <Dr_willis> :)
[03:35] <kitche> bruenig: totem & will keep it running until you log out
[03:35] <sethk> Phuzion, you'll need to run it as root, of course
[03:35] <troughton> sorry for all the trubble everyone i told u i was lerning you have been a grate help thank you everyone
[03:35] <bruenig> when I do totem &, and then close the terminal, totem still closes
[03:35] <regfire> Hello all, anyone have any luck with dapper and an ATI x1600 pro.....I havent dove into making it work yet and was wondering if anyone had any pointers
[03:36] <sethk> troughton, not trying to give you a hard time.
[03:36] <Phuzion> sethk, I'm talking about the wizard that comes up during installation
[03:36] <sethk> troughton, if you don't know what something means, then ask.
[03:36] <kitche> bruenig: odd it should stay open
[03:36] <sethk> Phuzion, I don't know whether the same wizard comes up during installation.  why would you want that one instead of the normal one?
[03:36] <bruenig> that was my thought
[03:36] <holycow> troughton, its no big deal, happy to help
[03:36] <Phuzion> sethk:  This machine has no desktop manager
[03:36] <Phuzion> It's just bash
[03:37] <Phuzion> I'll be back soon
[03:37] <sethk> Phuzion, in that case I would just edit the config files.  I don't know whether the text mode installer's network setup is available or not
[03:37] <Phuzion> k, thanks anyways
[03:38] <GoldKeeper> gui is still super slow
[03:38] <sethk> GoldKeeper, until something fixes it, it will continue to be slow.
[03:39] <sethk> GoldKeeper, any idea where it is spending it's time?   does top show anything interesting?
[03:39] <digip1mp> bah this sucks... I can't get my wireless working in ubuntu
[03:39] <torchie> me either
[03:39] <kitche> digip1mp what chipset?
[03:40] <GoldKeeper> things like moving windows minimizing or scrolling a website is what is very slow, there are no interesting signs of anything
[03:41] <digip1mp> not sure, but it's the linksys wpc54g.  I saw and tried this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=5645... but it doesn't seem like installing the windows drives downloaded from linksys with ndiswrapper is making ubuntu use those drivers for the card...
[03:41] <digip1mp> pretty frustrating...
[03:43] <Lam_> i need something that can convert .bin files to .iso files
[03:44] <thoreauputic> !bchunk
[03:44] <ubotu> bchunk: CD image format conversion from bin/cue to iso/cdr. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.2.0-1 (dapper), package size 12 kB, installed size 68 kB
[03:44] <Lam_> thoreauputic: thanks
[03:44] <thoreauputic> :)
[03:44] <httpdss> digip1mp: http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_part.php?brandname=Linksys .... or ndiswrapper
[03:44] <regfire> nice
[03:44] <dragonriot> is there a way to upgrade to the 2.6.18 kernel without losing the Ubuntu boot screen?
[03:46] <dragonriot> Nothing really... better question; Is there a way to get Synaptic Package manager to upgrade to 2.6.18 or do I have to do it manually (I don't mind doing it manually, but I'd rather Ubuntu KNOWS that I've upgraded the kernel...
[03:47] <kitche> dragonriot: think there is a document on how to make kernel packages
[03:47] <httpdss> digip1mp: or maybe ... http://ubuntuforums.org/tags/index.php/wpc54g/
[03:47] <dragonriot> last time I upgraded to <IP_ADDRESS>, ubuntu wasn't happy with me, it said Linux was irretrievably broken...
[03:47] <shuan> anyone know how i can play mp3 and other files i used to be able to play in windows
[03:48] <shuan> i think it might be called win32 or summin
[03:48] <Dr_willis> !mp3
[03:48] <darkaura> install amorake
[03:48] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[03:48] <Dr_willis> w32codecs are  NOT the ones for mp3's :P
[03:48] <shuan> so which is the one for mp3's
[03:49] <Dr_willis> read the !mp3 url the bot just gave.
[03:49] <shuan> thanks
[03:49] <darkaura> !amarok
[03:49] <ubotu> amarok is an audio player for Linux with an intuitive interface. The latest version is 1.4.3 and packages are available for Kubuntu at www.kubuntu.org
[03:50] <darkaura> thats what I use to play mp3s

[03:52] <TimM_> Does anyone here know how to enable the ica protocol on tsclient?
[03:53] <kitche> TimM_ do you mean teamspeak client or no?
[03:53] <guest_4> I am about to reinstall my grub boot loader -> grub-install path .. but I am not sure what to put for the path. fdisk -l returns this-> /dev/hda1   *           1       19270   154786243+  83  Linux
[03:53] <darkaura> I know this is stupid whats the unmount command?
[03:53] <thoreauputic> umount
[03:53] <guest_4> do I use /dev/hda?
[03:53] <thoreauputic> no "n" ;)
[03:53] <kitche> guest4: grub-install /dev/hda if you want to install on the MBR
[03:53] <guest_4> ok thanks!
[03:54] <TimM_> kitche, I mean the terminal server client.
[03:54] <GoldKeeper> lol is there anyway to revert back to stable from edgy
[03:54] <thoreauputic> GoldKeeper: not without much voodoo and pain, no
[03:54] <kitche> TimM_ ah isn't ica Citrix protocol?
[03:54] <dragonriot> can I upgrade to Edgy but only upgrade the kernel and nothing else?
[03:54] <GoldKeeper> k
[03:54] <guest_4> Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[03:55] <guest_4> hmm
[03:55] <TimM_> kitche, yup.
[03:55] <guest_4> I already mounted hda1, not sure what this is
[03:55] <kitche> TimM_: think you have to use the Citrix client for that
[03:56] <tonyyaru1so> dragonriot: Sort of.
[03:56] <dragonriot> tonyyaru1so... how?
[03:56] <TimM_> kitche, I have RDP and RDPv5, but VNC, XDCMP and ICA are grayed out.
[03:56] <dragonriot> I only want the kernel, nothing else...
[03:56] <tonyyaru1so> dragonriot: You could add the edgy repositories, apt-get install the kernel, and then comment them back out to avoid upgrading anything else.
[03:56] <dragonriot> ah... good stuff... thanks.
[03:57] <whatthedeuce> Hey.  I'm getting very strange errors when I try to compile any c++ programs using Ubuntu.  Even a simple "Hello, World" program won't compile.  The error is about 10 lines long, and it starts with: "undefined reference to `std::cout'".  I have build-essentials installed.  What could cause this?
[03:58] <guest_4> can someone help? I know it's something small that I am not entering in the terminal
[03:58] <Phuzion> guest_4:  What is your problem?
[03:59] <wickedpuppy>  whatthedeuce paste to us the code pls ... use pastebin
[03:59] <wickedpuppy> i think you didn't do include <iostream> .. did you ?
[03:59] <guest_4> i'm trying to reinstall grub. I first mounted my hd-> sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/    it's mounted, now I need to reinstall grub.. I tried grub-install /dev/hda but that did not work. Could not find device for /boot: Not found or not a block device.
[03:59] <dragonriot> anyone else having issues on the ubuntu forums?
[04:00] <Phuzion> link to what you're having problems with dragonriot?
[04:00] <Ruffles> hi there
[04:00] <Phuzion> Sup
[04:00] <dragonriot> Phuzion... the forums are down...
[04:00] <kitche> guest_4: chroot into where you mounted /dev/hda1
[04:00] <Ruffles> is it possible to downgrade firefox into 1.5 again? (i'm runnin' edgy btw)
[04:00] <dragonriot> and now back up
[04:01] <guest_4> how would I do about doing that? sorry :/
[04:01] <Dr_willis> hmmm xmms wont start,,,
[04:01] <wickedpuppy> and my rails app won't run ... what a lousy day
[04:01] <kitche> guest_4: chroot /mnt/ /bin/bash if you mounted /dev/hda1 to /mnt/ but you need to mount /proc also
[04:01] <Ruffles> anyone?
[04:02] <guest_4> ok it looks like it mounted
[04:02] <guest_4> do I now.. chroot /mnt/ /proc ?
[04:02] <whatthedeuce> wickedpuppy: iostream is included.  The code isn't really worth pasting.  It's just a hello world program.  I'm positive that there is nothing wrong with it (I've looked over it many times)
[04:02] <kitche> guest_4: chroot /mnt/ /bin/bash
[04:03] <Phuzion> Ruffles:  I suppose it would be possible to remove what the new Firefox has on your machine already, then compile the binaries from the version you want, if you can't figure out a simpler way
[04:03] <wickedpuppy> whatthedeuce, well up to ya .. but if i can;t run it here then i can't tell ya anything ...
[04:03] <xplic1t> whatthedeuce: paste it anyway =]
[04:03] <ajt> Hi all. I left for the weekend and when I came home my Ubuntu system would not respond at all. So I did a hard reboot and when it went to boot all of a sudden I get  Grub error 17. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[04:03] <guest_4> ok that is done, so now I just try to reinstall? grub-install /dev/hda --no-floppy ?
[04:03] <Ruffles> Phuzion, thought of doing so on synaptic..
[04:03] <ajt> What file system does badger breezy use by default, ext3 or reiserfs?
[04:04] <Phuzion> I'm not a huge Synaptic user, so maybe someone else can help you out there
[04:04] <kitche> guest_4 yes but why the --no-floppy switch?
[04:04] <Phuzion> ajt:  ext3
[04:04] <guest_4> not sure, saw it on something.. what is that flag for?
[04:04] <ajt> Phuzion: ok
[04:04] <Phuzion> At least, that's my experience
[04:04] <kitche> guest_4 well it's something that you don't really need to use a switch for
[04:04] <Ruffles> Phuzion, can't get any other version from my repositories.. :(
[04:04] <mcscruff> FFS @ Kubuntu!!!!!
[04:05] <Ruffles> the only one available is bon echo2
[04:05] <guest_4> grub-install /dev/hda
[04:05] <guest_4> /dev/hda: Not found or not a block device.
[04:05] <Phuzion> Ruffles:  I'm going to suggest then compiling the binaries from sourceforge
[04:05] <Ruffles> nah.. i hate compiling :)
[04:05] <kitche> guest_4 you mounted /dev also?
[04:05] <Phuzion> Ruffles, it's not that hard
[04:05] <mcscruff> been using ubuntu on laptop and kubuntu on Desktop, booted desktop ealier and it cant mount /root filesystem
[04:05] <Buglouse> I've just installed MuSE 0.9.2 On my Ubuntu Distro.  The option to create a Lame Server is not available.. I only see the option to create a Ogg Server.  I have Lame installed and I can listen to mp3s using other media packages.
[04:05] <whatthedeuce> Here it is. http://monjaro.org/test.cpp
[04:06] <guest_4> no I don't think so, ok so I need to mount /dev >
[04:06] <guest_4> ?
[04:06] <Ruffles> Phuzion, yep but it gives me the impression that it messes up my system
[04:06] <Ruffles> plus i wouldn't be able to uninstall it
[04:06] <Phuzion> Not with Synaptic, no
[04:06] <mcscruff> guest_4, lost grub MBR?
[04:06] <kitche> guest_4 yes you have t mount it to /mnt/dev
[04:06] <Phuzion> But in all honesty, compiling is not that hard
[04:06] <Ruffles> i know how to compile
[04:06] <Phuzion> I compiled my first program after using Linux for 2 weeks
[04:07] <Ruffles> i just don't wanna mess up my os
[04:07] <mcscruff> compiling is best imo
[04:07] <Phuzion> You won't
[04:07] <guest_4> mount /mnt/dev
[04:07] <guest_4> mount: can't find /mnt/dev in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[04:07] <Ruffles> ok and how would i upgrade or uninstall a compiled software?
[04:07] <Ruffles> i don't even know where the files go to
[04:07] <mcscruff> Ruffles, instead of make install , use an app called checkinstall , then u can remove the app easier
[04:07] <Phuzion> Unless you do something along the lines of rm -rf / you're not going to mess up your OS
[04:07] <kitche> Ruffles only way to mess up linux is compile a system critical software wrong
[04:08] <guest_4> mcscruff, I am not sure what is wrong :/
[04:08] <whatthedeuce> wickedpuppy: Does it compile on your system?
[04:08] <guest_4> I just now my boot loader is messed up
[04:08] <guest_4> know
[04:08] <Ruffles> i was talkin' about all the garbage it produces
[04:08] <mcscruff> guest_4, i missed what the problem was, could you paste/retypee it pls
[04:08] <mcscruff> guest_4, did u install windows or another os?
[04:08] <wickedpuppy> hold on whatthedeuce
[04:08] <guest_4> sure.. I am trying to reinstall grub
[04:08] <Ruffles> i wouldn't be able to remove or even upgrade firefox afterwards
[04:08] <guest_4> I was going to, but didn't
[04:09] <dragonriot> is the Universe Repository the one for Edgy, or does Edgy have it's own set of repositories?
[04:09] <Ruffles> unless i compile it again
[04:09] <guest_4> but I think I messed up a small partition or something?
[04:09] <kitche> dragonriot it's own repos
[04:09] <Ruffles> i need .debs :D
[04:09] <mcscruff> guest_4, open console and type sudo grub
[04:10] <guest_4> ok, i'm at the grub menu
[04:10] <wickedpuppy> whatthedeuce, yes
[04:10] <wickedpuppy> it does run on my com ...
[04:10] <mcscruff> guest_4,  root (hd0,0)
[04:10] <mcscruff> or whatever ur hd is
[04:10] <wickedpuppy> whatthedeuce, how did you compile it ?
[04:11] <mcscruff> guest_4, setup (hd0)            <<change hdd if its different
[04:11] <jsilva> hi
[04:11] <guest_4> selected disk does not exist, do I use hd0,1 ? how can I find out? by calling fdisk -l?
[04:11] <mcscruff> guest_4, quit
[04:11] <jsilva> do you know a good tutorial for compiling mplayer with flv and mp4 support or a precompiled package?
[04:11] <mcscruff> guest_4, should have seen some shit then it should be ok
[04:11] <ArrenLex> jsilva: if you have w32codecs installed, mplayer will support them out-of-the-box, or with default compile options.
[04:12] <mcscruff> ruff|brb, use checkinstall to compile and make a .deb
[04:12] <ArrenLex> jsilva: google for the w32codecs package. Then you can just install mplayer from the ubuntu multiverse repositories.
[04:12] <whatthedeuce> wickedpuppy: I figured it out.  I was compiling it with gcc rather than g++.  I'm used to using C
[04:12] <jsilva> ArrenLex: but .3gp files doesn't have sound
[04:12] <wickedpuppy> whatthedeuce, :P happy coding!!!
[04:12] <ruff|brb> mcscruff, mmmm.. now you're speakin' my language.. how can i make a .deb from the source code?
[04:13] <ajt> Hi everyone.  Does anyone know how to fix this?
[04:13] <mcscruff> ruff|brb, install an app called checkinstall (there is a deb on its homepage) , then do compile and make as normal but instead of make install , do checkinstall
[04:14] <ArrenLex> jsilva: that's different. You have to compile the codec. Download mplayer sources, extract the tarball, go to the libavcodec folder, and follow the directions found in the comments at the top of the amr.c file. That should set you up.
[04:14] <ruff|brb> mmmmm...
[04:14] <LSD`> ajt: partition might be toast :(
[04:14] <jsilva> ArrenLex: thanks, I'll try it
[04:14] <mcscruff> ruff|brb, it will make a deb then u just install the deb like normal
[04:14] <ruff|brb> mcscruff, will it copy any file outside the source directory itself ?
[04:14] <ruff|brb> sweet :D
[04:15] <ruff|brb> mcscruff,  thanks bro you're the pimp!
[04:15] <mcscruff> ruff|brb, i cant remember where it puts the .deb file, its either same dir or in temp
[04:15] <ajt> LSD`: what do you mean by "toast"?
[04:15] <mike-ekim> im tryin to get shell access to my box and its telling me that its connection refused
[04:15] <zspada15> i cannot get wifi to work with my broadcom airforce one
[04:15] <mike-ekim> could that be a iptables rule, or something that didnt install with ubuntu, like ssh daemon
[04:15] <darkaura> how would I format my mp3 player back to fat12 or whatever so I can use it again
[04:15] <mcscruff> mike-ekim, useing the correct username and password?
[04:16] <LSD`> ajt: kaput, dead, broke, you get the idea. http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/grub-error-guide.xml#doc_chap5
[04:16] <ajt> mike-ekim: you need to install sshd and make sure your firewall is open
[04:16] <ajt> LSD`: ugh oh that's really not good
[04:16] <mike-ekim> yeah its telling me connection regused
[04:16] <ArrenLex> jsilva: or download this package, which is my own mplayer with amr support, but you might not have some libraries you need so it's not guaranteed to work. Make sure you have the libtheora package installed. http://arrenlex.diff.be/mymplayer_1.0pre8-1_i386.deb
[04:16] <mike-ekim> refused
[04:16] <wickedpuppy> mike-ekim, first .. is ssh running ? second is port 22 ? if so is it blocked in firewall ? if then user name and password correct ?
[04:16] <ajt> LSD`: you know of any way to fix it?
[04:16] <mcscruff> mike-ekim, remember to use the -l option to choose a username
[04:17] <Cas> Hi, I've a 1GB memory stick that only shows as 130MB after playing with gparted. I think the  heads, sectors/track and cylinders are wrong but how can I figure out to what I need to set this?
[04:17] <mister_roboto> mike-ekim: netstat -a|grep ssh will show you if ssh server is LISTENing
[04:17] <mnepton> Cas: use gparted to set an msdos disklabel
[04:17] <ruff|brb> mcscruff, will i need build-essential as well?
[04:18] <LSD`> ajt: it depends on how serious the damage is. Find a livecd, boot that and see if you can mount and fsck it
[04:18] <mike-ekim> mister_roboto its showing that it is listening
[04:18] <mister_roboto> mike-ekim: well connection refused means you are not reaching a listening server port. sounds like your iptables settings are blocking it
[04:18] <Cas> mnepton: that doesn't change the size does it? (/me tries it anyways)
[04:19] <ajt> LSD`: One set a head of you. I just booted up my suse rescure disk and tried to mount it but that didn't work
[04:19] <mike-ekim> hmm
[04:19] <mike-ekim> well
[04:19] <mike-ekim> what should i do
[04:19] <ajt> LSD`: let me get you the exact error
[04:19] <ixian> can someone tell me how i can uninstall a program i compiled from source? i followed a tutorial in a book to install Dillo web browser, but i'd like to uninstall it but don'tknow how
[04:19] <ArrenLex> ixian: run "sudo make uninstall" in the dillo source directory.
[04:20] <mister_roboto> mike-ekim: i don't know the answer well enough without looking it up myself. can you just disable the firewall temporarily to test it. should work. that would tell you for sure
[04:21] <ixian> thanks ArrenLex .. worked
[04:21] <Buglouse> Does anyone know where i can get the package libmp3lame?
[04:21] <ArrenLex> ixian: for future installs, look into checkinstall to build packages.
[04:21] <ArrenLex> !checkinstall
[04:21] <ubotu> checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall  -  Please: Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page. - DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running!
[04:21] <ajt> LSD`: "mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda7, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail  or so"
[04:22] <ArrenLex> Buglouse: it's the "liblame0" package in the multiverse repos.
[04:22] <axel> cool
[04:22] <LSD`> ajt: :/ tried fski'ing it? Or does it need to be mounted for that?
[04:22] <ajt> LSD`: let me test
[04:22] <ajt> LSD`: rebooting w/ rescue cd now
[04:22] <ajt> LSD`: I don't think it needs to be mounted to fsck it
[04:23] <Snake> What kind of software could I use to control how my dual screen set up is?
