[09:18] <velko> devasura, it looks like linux is really having problems with sector 0 on this device. this is the most important sector on a hdd. can you access the drive with windows? and repartition perhaps?
[09:18] <dadan_1> i have an intel celerom 2400 processor with nvidia 5200 videocard (128 MB RAM) with 768 MB RAM and i recently downloaded a HDTV movie. My little problem is that with vlc and even mplayer i observe a slight (but noticeable) gap while watching the movie, my question is: my configuration is poor for that kind of movies or i have to change some settings?thanx
[09:18] <jeroensum> cjsoftuk, are you sure then that the config file is looking at the correct adapter?
[09:18] <AngryElf_> !ati
[09:18] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:18] <fbarcenas> How do I change my default ftp back to gnome or nautilus or whatever?   I get SNMP responses with snmpwalk, but no iFace stuff
[09:19] <aramaki> psusi: FC6 gave me lot's of trouble when I tried to install it on the ext HDD
[09:19] <Pelo> dadan_1,   7/10 for a question,   but 2/10 for clarity,   what do you mean by gap ?
[09:19] <AngryElf_> ubotu: you're dumb bot
[09:19] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about you're dumb bot - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:19] <jl> does somebody installed oracle10g XE?
[09:19] <Cosmo_> this is wierd, since installing fiesty when I leave my computer for an extended period of time programs are still running but it stops accepting mouse or keyboard commands, I can still move the mouse pointer around the screen but when I click nothing responds. Anyone know how to fix this?
[09:20] <PhilK> dadan_1: you mean it's glitchy or it's going out of sync?
[09:20] <dyrne> dadan_1: maybe try a diff video out like mplayer -vo x11 movie.avi  your specs seem fine.. you using nvidia driver not vesa  or nv?
[09:20] <jeroensum> cjsoftuk, check the config file of rrdtool and match that with the adapters listed in ifconfig
[09:20] <psusi> aramaki: well then, I'd say install, then manually reinstall grub to the external drive, then use a windows cd to fix the mbr on the internal disk
[09:20] <robokop> dv5237_: ssh <IP_ADDRESS>
[09:20] <devasura> velko, but all three are empty right
[09:20] <dadan_1> pelo: i can watch the movie but it seems that my machin is not good for that kind of big movies
[09:20] <nuOpus_> Does anyone know how I would go about changing the DEFAULT password of the keyring?
[09:20] <kane77> how can I set default printout mode for a printer? in dapper there was only setting inside printer preferences and all apps used this setting, now it's in all printing dialogs and now it asks me every time.
[09:20] <dadan_1> not good enought
[09:20] <jl> i have a problem with the apex web interface it doesn't start
[09:20] <aramaki> psusi: :) that's what I'd like to avoid LOL
[09:20] <cjsoftuk> jeroensum: rrdtool extracts the data via SNMP, therefore SNMP needs to report the data!
[09:20] <fbarcenas> Cosmo_, try the alternative install.
[09:20] <devasura> velko, and there are no sda2 3 4
[09:20] <aramaki> psusi: FC6 all over again
[09:20] <EricL> Can someone give me an apt resposity for the ia32 lib for Edgy?
[09:21] <fbarcenas> Cosmo_, try the alternative install.
[09:21] <fbarcenas> How do I change my default ftp back to gnome or nautilus or whatever? I told firefox to be the default browser not knowing it would take over ftp functions as well.
[09:21] <PhilK> dadan_1: you're going to have to be more clear with how it's glitching, that machine should be fast enough for HD content
[09:21] <dv5237_> robokop: thanks it works
[09:21] <randomc0de> hey, I have 3 quick questions: 1. How do you turn off the status message "blah has entered the room" on IRC. 2. When you type in a word and the small search bar comes up (I'm assuming this is Nautilus' doing), is it possible to move to the next/previous word like in Firefox. 3. I have a mounted SSH folder through the "Connect to Server" GUI, but Gvim isn't recognizing the ssh:// URL to mean "open this remote file", is there anyway to do this usin
[09:21] <PMantis> My Edgy install recently started doing this every time apt-get runs: "Failed to find suitable ramdisk generation tool for kernel version \n 2.6.17-11-generic on running kernel 2.6.17-11-generic in /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs"... Help?
[09:21] <dyrne> dadan_1: i have a media box 500mhz crappy old 16mb vid card that is running xp (had to) that plays high res fine
[09:21] <velko> devasura, yes. is it an option for you to try to erase the parition table with windows? or to replace the drive? this is all very strange
[09:21] <aramaki> psusi: any more specifics on reinstalling grub later?
[09:21] <Pelo> dadan_1,  descrive how it looks
[09:21] <psusi> aramaki: or I think if you use the alternate install cd, you can have the installer either skip or customize the grub install, and manually install it to the external disk
[09:21] <dadan_1> pelo: the sympthom is just like when u're trying to playe a movie on a weak machine
[09:21] <dyrne> dadan_1: mplayer on xp
[09:21] <aramaki> psusi: there's an option to skip grub install...let me check
[09:22] <PhilK> dadan_1: have you tried XvMC with mplayer?
[09:22] <Tehkain> Anyone know with the 1.0-9755 are the reason wine gives me "X Error of failed request:  GLXBadDrawable"?
[09:22] <dadan_1> pelo: ubuntu
[09:22] <dadan_1> pelo: i haven't tryed
[09:22] <Pelo> dadan_1,  I wan't the one asking

[09:22] <dadan_1> pelo: what is XvMC?
[09:22] <devasura> okay then i will experiment some more and report you bye and thanks

[09:23] <devasura> velko, are you a regular here!!!!
[09:23] <PhilK> dadan_1: er, if you have an Nvidia card that is, otherwise we'll have to try something else
[09:23] <velko> devasura, yes. i'm pretty often here
[09:23] <jf123> help!!!

[09:24] <olimpico> How can I get a good resolution on the consoles?
[09:24] <psusi> aramaki: you will need to edit /boot/grub/devices.map to point hd0 to the correct device for the usb drive
[09:24] <olimpico> And also how can I cahnge the resolution and frequency on the init splash screen?
[09:24] <Pelo> dadan_1,   philk asked you a question
[09:24] <olimpico> Is it possible?
[09:24] <deCon> hey, is amarok bad to use, i don't know why but my computer is running fairly slow....in Feisty. Any tips/links to speed things up?
[09:24] <deCon> is InitNG good?
[09:24] <velko> olimpico, you have to pass additional parameter vga to the kernel on boot
[09:24] <slackwarelife> there are meny problems with ati 8.35.6, I can help a user in launchpad, but I have many problem to instll it
[09:25] <aramaki> psusi: thanks! I'll probably be back later when i fck it up :D
[09:25] <PhilK> deCon: Amarok ran really slow for me (and I didn't like the interface that much), didn't really slow down the rest of the machine though (except during initial scan)
[09:25] <olimpico> velko: Which, how?

[09:26] <julios> desktop wrecked (squares instead of letters) after 7.04 upgrade please help
[09:26] <olimpico> ^LesBuntu: I used to use xchat, then I discovered konversation
[09:26] <deCon> PhilK, think it could be firefox? Fox is using 110MB and amarok is using 60mb, but CPU use is jumping frequently either because of beagle, amarok, or firefox, in that order
[09:26] <fbarcenas> ^LesBuntu, I am.
[09:26] <^LesBuntu> when I try to add a server it doesnt stay in the program
[09:26] <lapland|AWAY> LjL: ok sorry :(

[09:27] <PhilK> deCon: depends how much memory you have (god I hate Firefox, I wish it wasn't so good)
[09:27] <nuOpus_> Did I miss a solution to my question? sorry left for a min
[09:27] <dyrne> riaal: sudo ifdown devicename or sudo ifconfig devicename down

[09:28] <deCon> PhilK, i have a GB of the fastest available ddr, but its CPU thats lagging i think. Any ideas? is there various tips and tweaks for this crap?
[09:28] <riaal> dyrne, ifconfig dev down will turn the interface off, can I just disconnect from the AP and still have the interface up?
[09:28] <dadan_1> pelo: Forced video codec: ffmpeg12mc

[09:28] <Dextorion> Asterix_: xmms
[09:28] <PhilK> dadan_1: stop annoying poor Pelo :)
[09:28] <Pelo> dadan_1,  I am not the one helping you ,  PhilK  is
[09:28] <Chousuke> xmms is not a good alternative anymore :/
[09:29] <dadan_1> sorry
[09:29] <Chousuke> it's obsolete
[09:29] <K3nto> hey can someone help me with the boot options menu thing? can i make it so that windows is at the top? or so that the menu only loads if i hold a key and windows is the default?
[09:29] <Chousuke> (mainly because GTK is obsolete)
[09:29] <instabin> could some one help me with postfix
[09:29] <dadan_1> philk: Forced video codec: ffmpeg12mc
[09:29] <dadan_1> Cannot find codec matching selected -vo and video format 0x44495658.

[09:30] <acidtabs> how come ubuntu 7.04 carry streamturner?
[09:30] <aramaki> psusi: ext drive should be HD1 in grub?   btw i booted of the DVD and chose the first option (start/install) it booted up the live cd, and from there I chose the install shortcut from the desktop, am I installing the live version or what, sorry for the dumb questions :)
[09:30] <Cnl_Delta> hi whats the recommended RAM to run ubuntu/kubuntu
[09:30] <acidtabs> don't carry
[09:30] <Cnl_Delta> *recommended amount of RAN
[09:30] <Cnl_Delta> *RAM
[09:30] <K3nto> what is the boot menu called when dual booting?
[09:30] <acidtabs> how come ubuntu 7.04 don't carry streamturner?
[09:30] <aramaki> Cnl_Delta: 512mb-1gb should be enough i think
[09:31] <robokop> riaal: why would you want to, but you can do iwconfig dev essid=""
[09:31] <PhilK> deCon: 1GB should be plenty, have you tried watching the processes in htop or System monitor to see which is spiking it?
[09:31] <sgtmattbaker> does anyone know if the special images made with ntfsclone 1.12.1 are compatible with version 1.13.1??
[09:31] <velko> olimpico, http://www.t94xr.net.nz/?p=167 . unfortunately i can't find a page where all possible parameters for "vga=" are listed. but you can lookup some of them here: http://members.cox.net/laitcg/new/kernel.html
[09:31] <deCon> PhilK, ya, its amarok and beagle and beagle-helper
[09:31] <sahafeez> is there a gnome version of aptitude
[09:31] <YetiChick> instabin: What's the problem?
[09:31] <dadan_1> PhilK: the same tiny gaps between certain frames...
[09:31] <Cnl_Delta> I need it for multitasking aramaki, multiple firefox tabs etc..
[09:31] <Dumahen> how can i access ntfs hdd ?
[09:31] <PhilK> deCon: Firefox might if flash is running, Amarok might if it's doing databasey stuff, and I haven't messed with beagle much.
[09:32] <robokop> sahafeez: synaptic
[09:32] <PhilK> dadan_1: is mplayer giving you any messages about slow output?
[09:32] <sahafeez> thanks
[09:32] <dadan_1> i tryed to assign bigger priority to the mplayer process but nothung changes
[09:32] <Dextorion> Anyone know how to get a x1950 ati card running?
[09:32] <aramaki> Cnl_Delta: well the more the better :)
[09:32] <PhilK> dadan_1: also, what type of file are you trying to play?  ubuntu's mplayer seems flaky with .ts files
[09:32] <aramaki> Cnl_Delta: firefox on windoze here usually eant about 700mb ram
[09:32] <fbarcenas> How do I change my default ftp back to gnome or nautilus or whatever? I told firefox to be the default browser not knowing it would take over ftp functions as well.
[09:33] <PhilK> dadan_1: is your CPU usage maxing out while mplayer is running
[09:33] <K3nto> how do i make a boot option (im dual booting) the top one on the list so that after the time runs out, its automatic?
[09:33] <deCon> PhilK, amarok has been refreshing my collection every so often, like constantly....
[09:33] <Cnl_Delta> kubuntu ain't windows..
[09:33] <aramaki> Cnl_Delta: yes, but firefox is firefox
[09:33] <dyrne> K3nto: sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.list  and edit to your hearts content :)
[09:33] <joeamined> hi
[09:33] <PhilK> deCon: I think there's a setting for that, but it's been awhile since I messed with Amarok :\
[09:33] <Cnl_Delta> k..
[09:34] <K3nto> awesome thanks
[09:34] <Pelo> !torrents > pelo
[09:34] <joeamined> i have a problem with feisty i had not with edgy
[09:34] <deCon> anyone know about InitNG for Feisty?
[09:34] <aramaki> Cnl_Delta: I haven't yet installed Ubuntu, but i had FC6 running with compiz/beryl and 512mb was waaay to small
[09:34] <K3nto> dyrne: the list was empty
[09:34] <joeamined> when feisty boots it throws a message "unable to allocate memory resource ..."
[09:35] <joeamined> what is it about ? can i fix it ?
[09:35] <velko> deCon, they decided for upstart. i suspect initng is not included at all
[09:35] <whtet> i have an issue configuring spamd, it's giving out error ""ERROR: Insufficient privileges. Retry as root"
[09:35] <dyrne> K3nto: menu.lst sorry
[09:35] <PhilK> Dane_: check caps/num-lock?
[09:35] <Dumahen> how can i access ntfs hdd ?
[09:35] <K3nto> k
[09:35] <Dane_> It's off PhilK
[09:36] <shirish> guys my fdisk was scanning for I guess file-system integrity, but it failed as saying 1.9% non-contiginous, now what should I do to make it right?
[09:36] <Dane_> PhilK How does a person reset or clear it and start over?  Do you have to reinstall the whole thing again from scratch?
[09:36] <slackwarelife> Dumahen: mount /dev/hdaX /mnt/yourxpdir
[09:36] <velko> shirish, this is not an error. it just shows the fragmentation level of the file system
[09:36] <PhilK> Dane_: caps or num-lock?  I know I see users hit numbers all the time with num-lock off (not trying to insult you, just checking)
[09:36] <dadan_1> PhilK: to max 87 %
[09:36] <velko> shirish, nothing to worry about
[09:36] <deCon> Philk, i think i could be running a better kernal, i'm using a 386, but i've got a dual core amd
[09:36] <Dane_> PhilK No insult taken, but no, that's not the problem.
[09:37] <Dane_> PhilK It's accepting upper and lower case just fine.
[09:37] <PhilK> Dane_: hit esc during boot (right when grub shows up), there's a recovery option which should throw you straight into a root console
[09:37] <Dane_> ok...
[09:37] <shirish> velko: ok cool, but why it should show as failed for fdisk ? and I have seen it happens I think every boot or every 2nd boot, is that normal?
[09:37] <PhilK> dadan_1: it really shouldn't be glitching @87%, that's strange
[09:37] <Dane_> PhilK Then what do I type to get into the right "thing?"
[09:37] <joeamined> i have a hp laptop with this bug with feisty
[09:37] <joeamined> PCI: Failed to allocate mem resource #6:20000@d0000000 for 0000:01:00.0
[09:38] <slackwarelife> Nobody has problem with new ATI driver ???
[09:38] <velko> shirish, failing is another story. it's not related to the fragmentation level at all
[09:38] <orbin> !ntfs > Dumahen (see pm from ubotu)
[09:38] <PhilK> Dane_: you'll be sitting at a root@hostname # prompt, type "passwd user", put in new password
[09:38] <aramaki> guys? with the Feisty DVD, I just choose the start/install, and it booted up the live cd, there's a shortcut for installing on the desktop but I'm not sure what is it going to install the live or normal Feisty?
[09:38] <bipolar> slackwarelife: what about the new ati driver?
[09:38] <velko> shirish, and no. it's not normal
[09:39] <prcrash> slackwarelife... I just now got mine working on a Dell D810 with an ATI x600
[09:39] <Dane_> PhilK thanks...trying it!
[09:39] <slackwarelife> bipolar: a user cannot install it on 7.04
[09:39] <PhilK> deCon: usually different kernels aren't drastically different in performance (IME), though sometimes weird issues show up on random systems
[09:39] <dadan_1> PhilK: that fact is that all the other regular movies are played well
[09:39] <bipolar> slackwarelife: please be more specific
[09:39] <PhilK> dadan_1: what kind of file is it?  does it play ok on another machine?
[09:39] <slackwarelife> I try to help him in a launchpad, but the log error file is to big for this situation
[09:40] <Pelo> how does one burn an iso to a cd in the command line ?
[09:40] <deCon> PhilK, i just did "top" and i noticed that i have all my memory taken up, and 103mb of swap....thats why, now i need to figure out how the hell to drop that
[09:40] <PhilK> dadan_1: I had a hell of a time getting full HD ts files playing without losing audio sync or stuttering :\
[09:40] <dadan_1> PhilK: i'll try it on other machine, thanx, bye
[09:40] <aramaki> with the Feisty DVD, I just choose the start/install, and it booted up the live cd, there's a shortcut for installing on the desktop but I'm not sure what is it going to install the live or normal Feisty?
[09:40] <viktor____> i get this messege when feisty is booting MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC and the laptop is getting too hot and turns off
[09:40] <velko> Pelo, using cdrecord
[09:40] <deCon> PhilK, and should it says 2 users? ....root and regular me??
[09:40] <bipolar> slackwarelife: what video card?
[09:40] <orbin> aramaki: live = normal
[09:40] <vega-> aramaki: the whole idea of a "live cd" is to run it from cd, so of course it installs the "normal feisty"
[09:40] <pbal1> HI - I put weather and invest applets on panel (7.04) They don't work and I cannot remove with right click
[09:40] <MajorApus> can someone help me mount my drives with fstab, the last 2 people to do it didn't do it right
[09:40] <PhilK> deCon: users at the prompt?
[09:41] <aramaki> thanks
[09:41] <jrjazzman> aramaki: that will install ubuntu
[09:41] <slackwarelife> bipolar: Ati 9250
[09:41] <dyrne> MajorApus: what format? ntfs, fat32, ext3?
[09:41] <deCon> PhilK, it says on the top line, 2 users
[09:41] <MajorApus> dyrne all 3
[09:41] <bipolar> slackwarelife: hmmm... that requires the 'legacy' fglrx driver.
[09:41] <prcrash> following this guide http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Feisty_Installation_Guide
[09:41] <bipolar> slackwarelife: I think....
[09:41] <PhilK> deCon: oh, in top duh, sorry.  yeah, that's fine
[09:41] <dyrne> MajorApus: so what problem are you running into?
[09:41] <prcrash> using method 2
[09:41] <deCon> PhilK, and my Cpu(s) line says 88+% id and only up to about 15% at any given moment on us
[09:41] <crdlb> slackwarelife, why are you using fglrx?
[09:41] <bipolar> slackwarelife: ATI has abandoned cards older then the 9600, iirc.
[09:41] <dyrne> MajorApus: maybe pastebin the fstab file that way we can edit it to correct
[09:42] <MajorApus> dyrne the system settings mount utility is so buggy I cant get it to do anything, so I need to do it by hand in fstab
[09:42] <slackwarelife> Bipolar: why restrict modules tool doesn't work with this card
[09:42] <PhilK> deCon: sort top by mem%
[09:42] <deCon> PhilK, does that mean i need to reduce background apps?
[09:42] <shirish> velko: if fdisk failing is not normal, what should I do about that?
[09:42] <Dextorion> Anyone know how to get a x1950 ati card running?
[09:42] <dyrne> MajorApus: yeah the utility kindof sucks
[09:42] <AmirB> I decided to uninstall beagle and in synaptics I selected for it to remove 'beagle' and 'libbeagle0', but when it was removing libbeagle it said that it was also removing nautilus and a couple other substantial packages!!! I have two questions: why did it remove those and how do I find out exactly what it removed so that I can get them back?
[09:42] <deCon> PhilK, command? i'm newb
[09:42] <bipolar> slackwarelife: becouse ATI hasn't updated the module to work with the new kernel.
[09:42] <velko> shirish, is this your root file system?
[09:42] <crdlb> slackwarelife, because ubuntu doesn't package the old driver
[09:42] <crdlb> slackwarelife, use the open source driver
[09:42] <PhilK> deCon: F (uppercase), then I think it's n (it should bring up a list)

[09:43] <jexd> will gnome panel applets work on the xfce4 panel (xubuntu)?
[09:43] <slackwarelife> bipolar: ok, but he is not be able to use 3d with radeo or ati driver
[09:43] <PhilK> deCon: also I highly recommend htop over top (it's prettier, and supports scrolling)
[09:43] <Pelo> LjL,  yeah, thanks it was for someone else, I already passed it along
[09:43] <crdlb> jexd, there's a special applet that makes that possible iirc
[09:43] <bipolar> slackwarelife: thank ATI for the abandonment
[09:43] <Dane_> PhilK I get a Grub: prompt    and if I type password and user, it does prompt me for a user, but then it complains that it must be authenticated
[09:43] <PhilK> deCon: bonus fact, pressing 'h' in top brings up the help
[09:43] <AmirB> I decided to uninstall beagle and in synaptics I selected for it to remove 'beagle' and 'libbeagle0', but when it was removing libbeagle it said that it was also removing nautilus and a couple other substantial packages!!! I have two questions: why did it remove those and how do I find out exactly what it removed so that I can get them back?

[09:44] <crdlb> slackwarelife, the free driver supports 3d just fine with a 9250
[09:44] <Cnl_Delta> I dumped ATI as a first choice for video when I realised it doesn't want to be used outside an M$ OS
[09:44] <deCon> PhilK, installing htop...

[09:44] <prcrash> the one downloaded from the ati website
[09:45] <deCon> PhilK, thanks. Now how do I go about prioritizing the cut offs, I would've sworn I had enough RAM to handle any linux load, but apparently not
[09:45] <prcrash> but recompiled
[09:45] <LjL> Pelo, recovery mode or failing that, "init=/bin/sh" on the kernel command line
[09:45] <bushblows> the last time I used it on ubuntu it randomly seized up
[09:45] <bipolar> slackwarelife: what is that?
[09:45] <PhilK> deCon: 1GB really should be enough, what's using so much?
[09:45] <Dane_> PhilK I got three options in a menu first...  Ubuntu Kernel Generic, Recovery Mode, and Memtest 86x   there was a "press c for command line" option, which is what I had hit.  Wrong approach, right?
[09:45] <askar> Please dont hate me...Anyone knows of a theme and iconset to make ubuntu look like Win XP?

[09:47] <deCon> PhilK, I noticed.....wow, much prettier
[09:47] <dac> i don't know, yet.
[09:47] <deCon> PhilK, it automatically helps you take a break every so often so you don't die from sitting for too long lol
[09:47] <SurfnKid> SlimeyPete, I have all my icons stretched and everything on the desktop is stretched
[09:47] <Dane_> PhilK I'm there!  I tried user passwd and got "command not found"

[09:47] <deCon> PhilK, load avg of .7 alright?
[09:48] <SurfnKid> SurfnKid, trying to only have the resolution stretched but not everything else, including images or photos
[09:48] <SurfnKid> SlimeyPete,
[09:48] <PhilK> Dane_: other way, passwd user
[09:48] <SlimeyPete> SurfnKid: your /etc/X11/xorg.conf is the first place to star
[09:48] <Dane_> PhilK Actually it says "command User not found"
[09:48] <Dane_> trying...
[09:48] <SlimeyPete> *start
 i installed native linux drivers then i  tried  nvidia drivers and then gnome doesnt work anymroe, but i acctualy not finished intall i was downlaoded packages and edited txt files
[09:48] <MajorApus> dyrne: ?
[09:48] <SurfnKid> SlimeyPete, yeah i did ive reconfigured it, i might have to look at the forums for issues on this monitor
[09:48] <PhilK> deCon: sounds about right
[09:48] <crdlb> Kozeris, you need to run the NVIDIA installer in --uninstall mode
[09:48] <SlimeyPete> SurfnKid: yeah, good idea

[09:49] <vak> hi all, any1 here experienced in how to set up senmail for _receiving_ mail? (sending works good for me)
[09:49] <deCon> PhilK, excellent.  I run beryl, and i've heard there is a bug? can you change default media player to VLC in everything? (assuming VLC has plugins for fox)
[09:49] <SurfnKid> SlimeyPete, thanks
[09:49] <Kozeris> no i goes by instruction wich works on terminal, but i guess packages was downlaoded from nvidia web
[09:49] <Glos_WiFi> thx stefg
[09:49] <PhilK> deCon: oh hell no *runs away*
[09:50] <viktor____> LjL, i can't boot up the live cd also any boot command to get cooler working?
[09:50] <crdlb> Kozeris, did you run a command like: sh NVIDIA-9755.run ?
[09:50] <PhilK> deCon: I spent like 2 days trying to get YTMND working in Firefox :(
[09:50] <YetiChick> dac: Oh, wow...  That's an old one.  Ummm...  Well, while it's possible to use an SATA/IDE adapter to make that work, I've not found that they work very well in older machines.
[09:50] <prcrash> deCon, I think you have to download the actual VLC plugs for firefox
[09:50] <Dane_> success!  Thanks PhilK
 no i 100 % sure no
[09:50] <YetiChick> dac:  I, personally, wouldn't put much effort into it.
[09:50] <shirish> velko: sorry been also trouble-shooting some other stuff as well, yes this is my root file system
[09:50] <crdlb> Kozeris, so you ran something like: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new ?
[09:50] <PhilK> deCon: there's plugins for firefox for VLC or mplayer support, personally I like mplayer better in firefox (supports some of the quicktime trailers a bit)
[09:50] <deCon> PhilK, are you running beryl? I dont know if they are related, but there is a beryl/totem bug, and i have it...but i dont know if firefox uses totem
[09:51] <PhilK> Dane_: congrats, have fun
 absolutelly right
[09:51] <AmirB> how do I find out what the latest packages I uninstalled were?
[09:51] <bipolar> slackwarelife: maybe, just maybe, the envy script will help. http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[09:51] <anthony__> .
[09:51] <deCon> PhilK, is there an end-all be-all package to install and configure? I'd prefer if I could use one player to rule them all
[09:51] <PhilK> deCon: firefox uses totem by default, but there's a way to switch it to mplayer iirc
[09:52] <crdlb> Kozeris, do you know what the error message was?
[09:52] <PhilK> deCon: hopefully I'm not leading you astray, try "mozilla-mplayer" and "mplayerplug-in"

[09:52] <velko> shirish, ok. so it's best to boot the life cd and check the file system from it. the default behaviour -A is not that efficient.

[09:53] <dac> wand it only has a 6GB HD
[09:53] <slackwarelife> dada_1: ubuntu :)
[09:53] <moonwatcher> ever seen that?
[09:54] <robokop> tsikis: upgrade :P

[09:54] <tsikis> upgrade what azureus?
[09:54] <TheSilentW> hello everyone, how do i enable a script to run every X secunds in console, cause i am making a python script that makes a .html file, i put firefox auto-refreshing but want the script to run every X secunds too, how do i do that?
[09:54] <velko> shirish, i suspect that you get the error because it simply doesn't gets repaired on boot
[09:54] <PhilK> dadan_1: yeah...see I've never really had any problems with HD in windows even on relatively slow machines, but at least we know the file is ok now
[09:54] <moonwatcher> SpaceBass, anthony__ :  i am getting *horribly* slow bridging speed
[09:54] <crdlb> Kozeris, try this: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[09:54] <deCon> PhilK, should I make VLC my default media player in system?
[09:54] <PhilK> deCon: what do you mean?
[09:54] <dane__> PhilK Coming to you live and direct from Ubuntu...thanks again!
[09:54] <YetiChick> dac:  ...and you want to try the drive in the other one, then?  My personal experience has been that if you do not have an SATA interface on your motherboard or an add on card, SATA drives do not tend to work reliably.
[09:54] <moonwatcher> SpaceBass, anthony__ :  and while we are on the subject, i can;t seem to bridge on the wireless
[09:54] <Kozeris> crdlb it will fix everything with drivers?
[09:55] <crdlb> Kozeris, maybe
[09:55] <PhilK> dane__: heh, excellent, run into any more brick walls, you know where to find us :)
[09:55] <YetiChick> dac:  If it's non-critical storage, you can try an adapter.
[09:55] <bipolar> slackwarelife: in fact, I think I'm going to try that script out on my radeon 9000 powered laptop, just to see if it works :)
[09:55] <mikedep333> hello, how can i create an archive (I don't even care if it is compressed or not) with all the subcontents of a folder, ignoring all unreadable files along the way?
[09:55] <robokop> i am trying to install cisco vpnclient, but it says something is missing in the kernel headers, linux/config.h is missing
[09:55] <dadan_1> PhilK: i'll try to play it on this machin on windows
[09:55] <deCon> PhilK, well totem is default media handler, and beryl and it disagree...due to a bug that i haven't figured out how to fix because i cannot find the file to edit, will changing my default software for opening all media affect firefox as well?
[09:55] <dane__> yeppers, count on it.  I'm a freshfaced newbie on Linux...  Experience in other oses, but i'm sure I'll have questions  :-)
[09:55] <dadan_1> and see what happens
[09:55] <mikedep333> I tried ark, I tried file roller, I tried using 7za
[09:55] <Nadhr> is there any drivers for my ATI x550, pls?
[09:56] <PhilK> deCon: I love VLC because of the "just works" factor, but it's not great with HD (ts and mkv files).  I'm assuming upstream (0.9.0) VLC has fixed a lot of that, but it hasn't made it to Ubuntu yet, and VLC is harder to compile than mplayer (for me anyway), so I personally use mplayer.
[09:56] <ti1> i've got two problems: first: i cant speak english very well, so this chat with 1300 users is a bit too fast for me. if you've an answer for me, would be nice to write an im ...
[09:56] <surviver> anyone know if there is a temperature sensor into ubuntu?
[09:56] <Kozeris> crdlb BTW  i tried to come back to gnome with  reconfiguring XORG and then restart gnome and it worked but after restart pc  X SERVER CANNOT RUN  showing again =(
[09:56] <surviver> *for case temps cpu ram ... vga
[09:56] <dac> nothing is critical, a 20GB HD would work. just got this 160GB on sale foe $39.99
[09:56] <mikedep333> Nadhr: I believe so, using the "restricted drivers" under administration tools
[09:57] <slackwarelife> bipolar: I have learned one news
[09:57] <crdlb> Kozeris, you must also run this (type it exactly): sudo rm /lib/linux-restricted-modules/.nvidia_new_installed
[09:57] <deCon> PhilK, currently i have no need for HD, so i'm not worried.
[09:57] <mikedep333> anyone help me create an archive?
[09:57] <ti1> second: my real problem: i've got a maxtor hde drive with 250 gb, but it doesnt run. a programm called "device manager" from ubuntu finds it, bios too, but "parted" cant find it
[09:57] <YetiChick> dac:  Well, older machines can have a hard time accessing all of a large drive, but if you don't need all of it many can be jumpered to look smaller to those old BIOSes.
[09:57] <velko> mikedep333, i just made a quick test as user "tar cvzf test.tar.gz /root" and it worked
[09:57] <bipolar> slackwarelife: whats that?
[09:57] <Lbawinowns> !imagemagick lbawinowns
[09:57] <PhilK> deCon: then go for VLC, other than HD I've never had a problem with it (well, aside from minor hiccups occasionally)
[09:57] <dadan_1> PhilK: i have only one question: how important is a good processor in matter of playing hi res movies? maybe the celeron is not quite good ?
[09:58] <TheSilentW> hello everyone, how do i enable a script to run every X secunds in console, cause i am making a python script that makes a .html file, i put firefox auto-refreshing but want the script to run every X secunds too, how do i do that?
[09:58] <velko> mikedep333, this is what do you mean by "unreadable files" i guess? or corrupt files?
[09:58] <mikedep333> weird file system objects
[09:58] <mikedep333> like entries for devices
[09:58] <dac> so, I could try it without a SATA PCI card?
[09:58] <rellik> TheSilentW, while (true); do echo "Hello World!"; sleep 10; done;
[09:58] <dadan_1> ?
[09:59] <joni3> kaneis apo rodo?
[09:59] <TheSilentW> rellik, thats console programming?
[09:59] <velko> mikedep333, just tried it with /dev (as user) and it worked
[09:59] <Kulebri> Hello there... I'm quite new to Ubuntu, so please try to bear with me if I'm saying nonsense... Whenever I try to run a certain program under Wine, I get a "BadWindow (Invalid Window Parameter)" error. Is there any simple way to fix this?
[09:59] <mikedep333> hmm
[09:59] <PhilK> dadan_1: main thing that sticks out in my head would be the lack of SSE2 instructions (though newer celeys might be ok on that front, I've been out of the hardware loop a bit).  with a video card that supports XvMC (nvidia or via onboard) a CPU is almost totally unimportant
[09:59] <surviver> anyone know or ubuntu has a temperature program? for cpu vga ram case hdd ...
[09:59] <rellik> TheSilentW, yup
[09:59] <mikedep333> tar --ignore-failed-read, thats what I should try
[09:59] <mikedep333> thx
[09:59] <bipolar> Kulebri: that can usulay be safely ignored.
[09:59] <TheSilentW> rellik, thx
[09:59] <stefg> Kulebri: better ask in #winehq

[10:00] <Kulebri> thanks biplolar and stefg

[10:03] <Svish> I have installed the ATI binary X.Org driver, but how do I use it? The restricted drivers dialog says my computer doesnt need anything..
[10:03] <viktor____> any solution for this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.15/+bug/24308 ?
[10:03] <stefg> compengi: this says that your system is using the valuable ram for a good pupose... caching and buffering
[10:04] <surviver> MajorApus, well just change the fstab file to rw  normally there would stand ro ...
[10:04] <MajorApus> surviver: they are already rw
[10:04] <surviver> MajorApus, and u cant write or do sonthin on it?
[10:04] <aoliax> does anyone know a method to encrypt files? kgpg doesnt seem to have it
[10:04] <`Tell> Hi...I need to dual-boot with winxp for work related stuff...can anybody advise me on how to do this?
[10:04] <MajorApus> surviver: depends on the drive, but basically
[10:05] <dac> you're right,thank you for all.
[10:05] <YetiChick> stefg:  I've noticed a greater use of swap here, too.  1.5G of RAM, and I'm swapping 33M by the end of a day of uptime.  Not causing problems here, but it is different than Edgy.
[10:05] <compengi> stefg, yes but it's taking alot of memory than i used usually on edgy. if my pc is for 4 hours up and using this much of memory what would happen if i leave my pc for like 20 days?
[10:05] <Svish> `Tell: Just install windows, and then install Ubuntu
[10:05] <dyrne> !grub > `Tell
[10:05] <surviver> MajorApus, mzz sry cant help u anymore just knwo the commands to set them rw or ro ..
[10:05] <apo> Tell, if you install Win XP in one Partition and then Ubuntu, let it write grub to the MBF, it should automagically detect Win...
[10:06] <YetiChick> compengi:  As long as it's just cache, it won't matter how long it's up.
[10:06] <ffm> What is the best comand line (non GUI) IRC client?
[10:06] <tjb13> hey how do you clear the apt cache
[10:06] <tjb13> ?
[10:06] <apo> ffm: Irssi
[10:06] <surviver> ffm, irssi
[10:06] <dyrne> ffm: irssi my favorite
[10:06] <apo> *g*
[10:06] <YetiChick> compengi:  But if the amount of swap used keeps growing, you'll probably notice a slowdown over time.  Give it a few more days.
[10:06] <velko> aoliax, http://webber.dewinter.com/gnupg_howto/english/GPGMiniHowto-4.html#ss4.1
[10:06] <`Tell> so I'd have to remove ubuntu in order to put windows back on, and then load ubuntu onto a partition?
[10:06] <surviver> ffm, u can type this in console irssi then /connect xxx(server) then /join #ubuntu
[10:06] <tjb13> ?
[10:06] <apo> Tell, no
 no solution but you can easily script around the problem
[10:07] <stefg> compengi: try it... i wouldn't worry too much, maybe the new kernel employs another strategy for buffers and cache. Unused Ram is good for nothing, so better use it for something
[10:07] <surviver> anyone know or ubuntu has a temperature program? for cpu vga ram case hdd ...
[10:07] <aoliax> thanks velko
[10:07] <apo> You can also edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst

[10:07] <MajorApus> How do I give myself permissions on a folder outside of my home directory
[10:08] <dyrne> ffm: well i normally just make a script but youll have a .irssi/config file
[10:08] <velko> aoliax, i supposed that kgpg is just a graphical frontend to gnupg. for that reason i'm wondering that it can't encrypt files
[10:08] <jeroensum> MajorApus, use sudo chmod
[10:08] <psycose> hi, since i upgrade to feisty my dell inspiron 510m really lag & is very slow (the cpu is at about 2%) have you heard about such a problem ?
[10:08] <ompaul> Flaze, you will see why the ops are marked as such all the time: http://freenode.net/channel_guidelines.shtml  cheers
[10:08] <ffm> MajorApus: sudo chmod, or sudo nautilus and make the changes from there.
[10:08] <aoliax> velko, yup, its simple a graphical fontend
[10:08] <ffm> dyrne: Thanks!
[10:09] <MajorApus> ffm 770?
[10:09] <akahige> ubuntu noob, here... trying to install v7.04 and the graphical installer positions windows and buttons off the bottom of the screen, so I can't tell what to do to navigate. anyone got a workaround?
[10:09] <apo> MajorApus: If you're in the group, yes
[10:09] <jeroensum> MajorApus, depends on the groups you're in
[10:09] <apo> If not, 777
[10:09] <MajorApus> apo im the only user?
[10:09] <ffm> MajorApus: try 0777
[10:09] <jeroensum> apo , I would not reccomend 777 for anything!
[10:09] <apo> jeroensum: True...
[10:10] <velko> akahige, you can press Alt, click anywhere inside a window and move the window
[10:10] <ffm> MajorApus: Actualy , 770 is fine
[10:10] <psycose>  hi, since i upgrade to feisty my dell inspiron 510m really lag & is very slow (the cpu is at about 2%) have you heard about such a problem ?
[10:10] <toferrado> How do I setup my Wireless PCI card?
[10:10] <aoliax> velko: there is no encryption that would come with archive managers or anything that you know of?

[10:10] <sldkfj> My system refuses to allow me to login to a tty terminal.  My user name is all lowercase, and my password has some uppercase letters in it.  My tty terminal apparently doesn't allow uppercase letters as noticed when I tested if it did with typing letters in the user portion which is visible.  Any help to correct this would be appreciated.
[10:10] <ubotu> Gutsy Gibbon is the code name for the next release of Ubuntu (7.10). See https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-announce/2007-April/000276.html and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GutsyReleaseSchedule Support in #ubuntu+1
[10:10] <YetiChick> MajorApus:  Of course, there is also chown.  Depends on what you're trying to accpomplish.
[10:11] <MajorApus> im trying to access drives i mounted and I cant
[10:11] <velko> aoliax, nothing i know about
[10:11] <YetiChick> MajorApus:  accomplish.
[10:11] <jandro> hello! is somebody experiencing sound a lot of problems with audio in skype? my comunication is stablish and at some moments we can hear the each other, but the most of the time a really annoying noise is cutting constantly the conversation? it happened to me on edgy, and now also in feisty, any idea?
[10:11] <Svish> how can I choose to use the ati graphicscard driver??
[10:11] <jeroensum> MajorApus, use the   -o uid  switch for mount (see man page)
[10:11] <akahige> velko: thanks!
[10:11] <webmaren> hi guys
[10:11] <aoliax> anyone know any methods to encrypt files?
[10:12] <webmaren> i need help getting internet on a 7.04 live cd
[10:12] <apecat> webmaren: start by describing how you connect
[10:12] <Svish> webmaren: say what? you want internet on a live cd?
[10:12] <webmaren> yes
[10:13] <sesamebike> Hi! My sister used to do some web editing in mozilla-composer but it's gone after upgrading to Feisty. Does anyone have a tip on how to restore it into Feisty or recommend a similar wysiwyg editor?
[10:13] <Svish> webmaren: ah.. like that :P
[10:13] <PenguinOfDoom> How do I enable IRQ unmasking on an IDE drive handled by libata? It seems that those guys, in their endless wisdom, removed support for that ioctl.
[10:13] <webmaren> i need to show my friends family how ubuntu works
[10:13] <sldkfj> webmaren  ........ visit   http://www.releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/
[10:13] <apecat> sesamebike: nvu is better i suppose
[10:13] <webmaren> i'm trying to convince them to use ubuntu
[10:13] <ompaul> sesamebike, use bluefish is one thing or nvu
[10:13] <jandro> hello! is somebody experiencing sound a lot of problems with audio in skype? my comunication is stablish and at some moments we can hear the each other, but the most of the time a really annoying noise is cutting constantly the conversation? it happened to me on edgy, and now also in feisty, any idea?
[10:13] <sesamebike> nvu is gone in feisty tooo..
[10:13] <Nadhr> is mint worth trying?
[10:13] <sinn1> Does anyone know why my Ubuntu installation gets stuck on step 5 - where it checks my disks before i pick where i want to install to??
[10:14] <apecat> sesamebike: tried installing it?
[10:14] <webmaren> and i can't get the computer to recognize the connection
[10:14] <mneptok> sesamebike: nVu is dead as a projct. try Bluefish or Amaya
[10:14] <apecat> oh, dead
[10:14] <apecat> weird
[10:14] <sldkfj> webmaren  ........ D/L a LIVE CD for your particular system at   http://www.releases.ubuntu.com/feisty/
[10:14] <stefg> sinn1: are you sure that your disk  and partiton table are alright?
[10:14] <sesamebike> ok. thanks. i'll tell her to try bluefish then.
[10:14] <mneptok> sesamebike: Amaya is probably what you're looking for
[10:15] <mneptok> sesamebike: Bluefish is not WYSIWYG
[10:15] <mneptok> Amaya is.
[10:15] <sinn1> Does anyone know why my Ubuntu installation gets stuck on step 5 - where it checks my disks before i pick where i want to install to??
[10:15] <sesamebike> thanks. guess amaya is the way to go for her.
[10:15] <webmaren> sldkfj: i already have a live cd, its booted on the particular computer, but i can't use the internet
[10:15] <sesamebike> cheers
[10:15] <jeroensum> sinn1, what does your /var/log/messages give you?
[10:16] <mneptok> sesamebike: http://www.w3.org/Amaya/
[10:16] <YetiChick> Nadhr:  Anything is worth trying - once.  :)
[10:16] <sinn1> jeroensum, im 100% new to linux, i have no idea... how  can i check?
[10:16] <kaje> Does anyone know of any howto's for setting up a kiosk station where you basically have 1 system, but 4 monitors, keyboards, and mice? Basically, using multiple X sessions?
[10:16] <BelaBartok> is there a possibility to run xubuntu on an old 486?
[10:16] <mneptok> sesamebike: you'll note she can use it for free on Ubuntu, Windows, or OSX ;)
[10:17] <jeroensum> sinn1, start a terminal from the menu , then type: cat /var/log/messages
[10:17] <lns> wassaaaaap ubuntu!!!! woooooooooooOOOOOOOOOO!
[10:17] <lns> hehe
[10:17] <sldkfj> webmaren, has the computer had internet access before you loading the Live CD?
[10:17] <webmaren> yes
[10:17] <stefg> kaje: have you looked at edubuntu? it might be 50% of waht you want already
[10:17] <mneptok> BelaBartok: any GUI on that will be rough. if you *must* have one, install Ubuntu server and something like Fluxbox/ICEwm
[10:17] <jeroensum> sinn1, DONT post everything, you will flood the channel and get kickedQ
[10:17] <aska1> I want to run program.sh from the applications menu..the program is in /home/askar/program/program.sh
[10:17] <aska1> how?
[10:17] <anchor> is it better to use the restricted drivers that ship with feisty, or to download them from the Nvidia website?
[10:18] <MajorApus> okay so my fstab is almost done, I can read all mounts but I cant write to ntfs
[10:18] <deCon> PhilK, what uses swap and can it be cleared?
[10:18] <BelaBartok> mneptok: well its for my grandma, she needs to check mail n stuff
[10:18] <sinn1> jeroensum, ok, im going to have to boot it up again im on windows at the moment... can i get back onto here when im on the Live CD mode ?
[10:18] <PhilK> deCon: not really my area of expertise but...
[10:18] <webmaren> woah nvm guys it might be working now
[10:18] <sldkfj> webmaren, what kind of a connection to the internet is there at that computer?
[10:18] <jeroensum> MajorApus, if you umount the drives and mount by hand with the -o uid option can you access the drive then as RW?
[10:18] <mneptok> BelaBartok: Fluxbox.
[10:18] <malsyned> Anybody know why all of the download links to Feisty for PowerPC are coming back 404s?  Does it actually exist?
[10:19] <MajorApus> jeroensum: how is that any different than using rw and uid in the fstab
[10:19] <IYY> guys... small problem: I installed Feisty today and accidentally selected "Canada" as my keyboard layout (it should be US). Now many keys, like '/' don't work. I managed to change it in X by editing xorg.conf, but when I'm in the console it's still set on the wrong mode. How do I fix this?
[10:19] <mneptok> malsyned: PPC is no longer an officially supported arch.
[10:19] <jeroensum> sinn1, yes you can, if you have a working network connection under the live CD you can start a terminal and apt-get an IRC client like xchat
[10:19] <BelaBartok> mneptok: and is there any distro set in fluxbox by default?
[10:19] <PhilK> deCon: swap is just extra memory, if you run out of regular memory it'll use it, otherwise it won't.  I don't think I've ever noticed the swap grow past 100mb as long as I've got the memory
[10:19] <stefg> MajorApus: you need a spaecail driver for that.   Is there any web page about why?
[10:19] <stefg> !ntfs-3g  | MajorApus
[10:19] <ubotu> MajorApus: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[10:19] <deCon> PhilK, cuz my memory is fine now, but my swap is up at 200mb
[10:19] <mneptok> BelaBartok: Fluxbuntu ;)
[10:19] <malsyned> is that new to Feisty?
[10:19] <MajorApus> stefg: yes, and almost none of it worked stefg
[10:19] <sinn1> jeroensum, ok thank you, i will be back soon.
[10:19] <sldkfj> My system refuses to allow me to login to a tty terminal.  My user name is all lowercase, and my password has some uppercase letters in it.  My tty terminal apparently doesn't allow uppercase letters as noticed when I tested if it did with typing letters in the user portion which is visible.  Any help to correct this would be appreciated.
[10:19] <deCon> PhilK, does it clear the swap when you reboot?
[10:19] <mneptok> malsyned: it is
[10:20] <MajorApus> I do have the ntfs config tool
[10:20] <PhilK> decon: probably just sitting out there from when you were out of ram, and yes it does
[10:20] <jeroensum> MajorApus, if you mount by hand you will see errors if thingsgo wrong. When you put in in fstab sometimes the errors get lost in dmesg
[10:20] <stefg> MajorApus: sad to hear... what was wrong?
[10:20] <mquy> hello
[10:20] <MajorApus> jeroensum: ic
[10:20] <mneptok> malsyned: it just isn't worth the development effort and expense now that no major player is shipping a PPC desktop.
[10:20] <seele_> please help with my sound card
[10:20] <malsyned> That's unbelievable.  Ubuntu actually abandoned the platform before Apple stopped supporting it.  I'm disappointed.
[10:20] <MajorApus> stefg: most of them didn't mount
[10:20] <shirish> guys I'm unable to find the gaim-irchelper what could be wrong?
[10:21] <BelaBartok> mneptok: heeey, thought you were makin fun ... there really is a distro like that ... thanks pal :DDD
[10:21] <YetiChick> malsyned:  With limited resources, sometimes you have to pick and choose.  I have an old G3 PowerMac sitting here that I wanted to try it on, but I understand that I'm fairly rare.
[10:21] <PhilK> malsyned: I'd have to say I'd much rather they push forward than support a dying platform, leave that to NetBSD or something like it
[10:21] <deCon> PhilK, ok thanks! Now I'm trying to follow some tips and tweaks pages, you haven't any Feisty links you would point someone like me towards? I already have ubuntuguide.org open
[10:21] <mneptok> BelaBartok: /join #fluxbuntu
[10:22] <seele_> I have a toshiba laptop ... I look all the pages about this problem but I can't find the solution
[10:22] <velko> malsyned, you may look at debian. it supports 11 processor architectures
[10:22] <manitoba99> I'm following these guides: http://howtoforge.com/sharp_fonts_gnome_p2 and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=20976 , but I cannot seem to get Xorg to change the DPI to 96...I'm changing the DisplaySize in xorg.conf, but xdpyinfo still shows it at 101x108 dots per inch....
[10:22] <seele_> this is my lspci exit

[10:22] <malsyned> velko: yeah, that's exactly what I'm going to have to do.
[10:22] <d0lph1nK1ng> anyone know what driver to install for an ATI TV Wonder Elite tv tuner card?
[10:22] <PhilK> deCon: Ubuntuguide's a great place to start, as for my guides bookmarked, they tend to be pretty specific to problems I've had
[10:22] <sldkfj> I guess could change my password to all lowercase letters just see if a tty terminal actually works
[10:22] <malsyned> mneptok: Anyplace I can go to learn about how to?
[10:23] <jeroensum> KenSentMe, LOL das uit Larry 1 of niet?  :D
[10:23] <deCon> PhilK, thanks! ill just google for tips
[10:23] <mneptok> malsyned: stand by. i'll find you resources.
[10:23] <KenSentMe> jeroensum, yep :)
[10:24] <PhilK> deCon: when I run into a problem I usually start at google, then the forums, then here.  works about 95% of the time
[10:24] <anto> Can somone help me, i compiled a program and when i try to run it on my server it says "Bash: ./otserv: cannot execute binary files."
[10:24] <MajorApus> my ext3 drive isn't moutning  I get this error "EXT3-fs: Unrecognized mount option "uid=1000" or missing value"
[10:24] <malsyned> mneptok: thanks.  also, there does seem to be a CD image for it on cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports.   I did that with some number flags, 3 and 5, and now my computer is acting funny.
[10:25] <velko> anto, is it possible that your executable is on a file system which is mounted as "noexec" ?
[10:26] <deCon> PhilK, now its on to optimization...i guess the generic kernel trumps the K7 kernal that is supposed to help out for dual cores
[10:26] <stefg> MajorApus: uid is just a workaround for filesystems which don't implement user permissions, like vfat. so it's not a valid option with ext3
[10:26] <Bales1> Ever since upgrading to Feisty, my Firefox has been freezing very frequently. Any ideas?
[10:27] <manitoba99> Bales1: I've experienced the same thing.....very odd......
[10:27] <PhilK> deCon: I haven't found any optimizations that drastically sped things up yet, Ubuntu's pretty snappy OOB
[10:27] <Selenolycus> ANYONE?
[10:27] <Bales1> manitoba99: Yeah, and I can't pinpoint it on one site or anything, it just happens all the time
[10:27] <velko> Selenolycus, don't know about the -t part but i shutdown this way my computer almost every time and nothing bad happens
[10:27] <jeroensum> MajorApus, the problem is the nouser switch, this lets only root mount the device!
[10:28] <Selenolycus> with "-h"
[10:28] <Selenolycus> ?
[10:28] <velko> Selenolycus, yes
[10:28] <velko> Selenolycus, very convinient if you want the computer to shut down after a movie
[10:28] <deCon> PhilK, so i've noticed, i'm just hoping to make sure everything is at its peak :O), esp. since i only have a 80GB Hdd
[10:28] <PhilK> Selenolycus: it doesn't look like -t is even an option...
[10:28] <mublak> holaaaaaaaaaaa
[10:28] <mynnx> Hey - can anyone give me a hand getting a dual-monitor setup working on my Intel 915GM laptop?  I get the startup sound but a blank screen.
[10:29] <Nrbelex> How do you trick a website into thinking you're running Windows or IE?
[10:29] <velko> PhilK, it is. it means "Tell init(8) to wait sec seconds between sending processes the warning and the kill signal, before changing to another runlevel"
[10:29] <jeroensum> Nrbelex, usr the 'user agent switcher' plugin for firefox
[10:29] <PhilK> deCon: yeah, it can be a little space hungry, especially if you start compiling your own builds (I keep up with the latest svn builds of MythTV and mplayer)
[10:29] <Moongoo> Hello, I just got a new widescreen monitor and I want to use a different resolution. in the screen resolution, it doesn't give me all the available options for widescreen. How do I fix this?
[10:29] <MajorApus> well I got everything working now except my ext3 drive
[10:29] <MajorApus> its not auto moutning
[10:29] <Nrbelex> jeroensum, thanks - couldn't remember the name
[10:30] <MajorApus> and I know why :( silly me
[10:30] <mynnx> Moongoo, add the resolution to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[10:30] <PhilK> Moongoo: add the resolutions to xorg.conf and you should be all set

[10:31] <cmatheson> lolomama: you could use parted to resize your partitions, although it can be a bit tricky to shuffle things around right

[10:33] <deCon> surviver, hello!
[10:33] <Bales1> Is there a way to find out what kind of server my school email uses and check it using Evolution?
[10:33] <netsrot> how do I config the forced disk check?
[10:33] <tjb13> can anyone tell me how to completely remove everything a package installed and the cached deb package
[10:33] <dinochopins> surviver: no... i'm not using hotmail but my own domain's catch all account set up by my ISP
[10:33] <mynnx_> Hey - can anyone give me a hand getting a dual-monitor setup working on my Intel 915GM laptop?  I get the startup sound but a blank screen.
[10:33] <tjb13> should be an easy one
[10:33] <PhilK> deCon: the mailing list has a ton of information on it (almost too much to be useful) and there's tons of guides out there for it.  the basic setup should be pretty easy for you
[10:34] <imbecile> ok guys I want to add more hd space to ubuntu in my dual boot system.. I have gparted open.. can someone help me?
[10:34] <PhilK> deCon: the ubuntu packages will probably be fine as long as you don't want to do anything too fancy
[10:34] <velko> dinochopins, you need an example on what to put in .fetchmailrc or you have some specific problem?
[10:34] <surviver> dinochopins, oke then it will be sonthin like this : fetchmail xxx
[10:34] <luisgmarine> what are the alternates to gaim?
[10:34] <deCon> PhilK, so i've heard.... can I run myth on an old P2 350mhz...or ubuntu for that matter? Which build? Because thats my next project...a frankenstein box of old purportions
[10:34] <dinochopins> velko : some specific problem
[10:35] <PhilK> deCon: Xubuntu's kind of designed for that, minimalist
[10:35] <dinochopins> velko : so.. i have a "catch-all" account on my domain (let's say abc.com)... and have just one email account at my ISP
[10:35] <surviver> dinochopins, fetchmail<EMAIL_ADDRESS>then it works normally or u can make a script for it ... to automaticly do that
[10:35] <YetiChick> mynnx_: I assume that nothing changed with the last try?
[10:35] <PhilK> deCon: you can probably get a myth-frontend playing on there, but I definately wouldn't expect much more than music and maybe web-quality video
[10:35] <dinochopins> velko: that is the catch-all account<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[10:36] <topgun553> Hey can someone help me!!!! : I have a presentation to give and I want to use the open office version of powerpoint (since I only run linux on my computer) and I was wondering what I am going to need to do to have it be able to be on the projection screen... This is for my TechComm class of U of M

[10:36] <nenxj> anyone get wifi to work on their laptops
[10:36] <Fylk> I have.
[10:36] <nenxj> i set it up correctly i see signals, BUT IT DOESNT actualyl connect
[10:36] <Fylk> Any kind of encription key?
[10:36] <dyrne> topgun553: ive used twinview for that. fairly straight forward once you have an example of what to put in xorg
[10:36] <nenxj> nah none of that
[10:36] <dinochopins> velko: then I can catch all the email addressses directed to abc.domain<EMAIL_ADDRESS><EMAIL_ADDRESS>etc)
[10:36] <nenxj> i even connected to it full signal, but no actual data transmissions
[10:37] <PhilK> topgun553: any chance you can get access to the projector ahead of time?  you'll probably want to set it up as a monitor in xorg.conf
[10:37] <MajorApus> alright, I got eveyrthing working, if anyone would like to see my fstab (it contains vfat ext3 and ntfs-3g) so it might be a good example
[10:37] <Fylk> Nenxj: Card, etc
[10:37] <topgun553> PhilK, I have an hour and I don't shit about how to edit xorg.conf
[10:37] <nenxj> broadcom 1390
[10:37] <topgun553> dyrne,  what does twinview do?
[10:37] <PhilK> MajorApus: I'd be curious if you pastebin it
[10:37] <dinochopins> velko: then I need to pop all those emails and distributed it to my local Ubuntu's accounts based on that email account<EMAIL_ADDRESS>will be delivered to dino.. and so on)
[10:37] <nenxj> heres the tutorial i used
[10:37] <nenxj> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=297092
[10:37] <Fylk> I think the broadcom cards are having issues. Some one confirm?
[10:37] <jeroensum> Tomatoma, what do you mean by 'piling up'?
[10:38] <PhilK> topgun553: yeah, talk to dyrne, I'm just going to be guessing, he sounds like he's got some experience at least
[10:38] <mynnx_> YetiChick:  Yeah, nothing did
[10:38] <velko> dinochopins, this is done by procmail and not by fetchmail :-)
[10:38] <topgun553> dyrne, could you walk me through what I would need to do???
[10:38] <mynnx_> YetiChick:  I'm sorry about leaving, btw; I forgot that I had a class at 3:10

[10:38] <seele__> please help with HDA intel sound card
[10:39] <PhilK> deCon: that's probably going to be your best bet.  Gnome can be a little RAM hungry for older systems
[10:39] <rambo3> deCon, e17
[10:39] <kane77> how can I set default printout mode for a printer? in dapper there was only setting inside printer preferences and all apps used this setting, now it's in all printing dialogs and now it asks me every time.
[10:39] <topgun553> dyrne, are you there man?
[10:40] <Tomatoma> jeroensum, (sorry I'm french), in the cube, windows are put in relief
[10:40] <MajorApus> how do I play mpegs?
[10:40] <jcole> kane77: http://<IP_ADDRESS>:631/printers
[10:40] <rambo3> deCon, as long as it has starter bar with Firefox/swiftfox/opera and soliter
[10:40] <deCon> PhilK, what is the easiest way in terminal to end a running anything....i want to configure this locale remover, but it has a loooong string of crap, but i want to skip that and get back to term. prompt
[10:40] <PhilK> rambo3: how easy is e17 to set up in Ubuntu?  I've thought about messing around with it
[10:40] <jcole> kane77: i had to use the cups interface to make permanent settings
[10:40] <rambo3> PhilK, add repos and : apt-get install e17
[10:40] <dyrne> topgun553: nah sorry i dont really remember. i usually just google for an example and start working from it.  make sure you know ahead of time what resolution the projector will be
[10:40] <YetiChick> mynnx_: No problem.  :)
[10:41] <deCon> rambo3, right lol. i was thinking basic
[10:41] <PhilK> deCon: uh, CTRL+C?  I think that's what you're looking for
[10:41] <kane77> jcole, thx, I' ll try that
[10:41] <PhilK> rambo3: sounds easy enough, I might have to play around with it
[10:41] <deCon> PhilK, thanks
[10:41] <jeroensum> Tomatoma, don't worry, I'm dutch so  ... :P  The windows are put in relief when you move the cube, that's what you mean?
[10:41] <dinochopins> velko : Oh... ok, will take a look at them
[10:41] <MajorApus> how do I get mpeg support in kubuntu
[10:41] <dinochopins> velko: Thank you very much
[10:41] <YetiChick> mynnx_: The problem with remote troubleshooting of this kind of thing is the "try something and check the logs" approach is so slow with display issues.
[10:41] <jcole> kane77: username is "root"
[10:41] <rambo3> PhilK, there is old howto on ubuntu forums so you need to change edgy to feisty in how to
[10:41] <sldkfj> Well I changed the password to all lowercase letters, and I got through. so  I guess I have to create another user with privileges with an acceptable password.  Unless someone else out there uses uppercase letters in their password.  I guess I'm kind of curious.  :\
[10:41] <velko> dinochopins, they are a lot of howtos and examples on the net. np
[10:41] <Svish> Why cant I choose any drivers in the Restricted Drivers Manager???
[10:42] <SurfnKid> how do i know which module is loaded for my video card?
[10:42] <PhilK> deCon: can you see my PM?
[10:42] <mynnx_> YetiChick:  Yeah, I agree...my "linux guy" back here is stumped
[10:42] <SurfnKid> like i810 or r300 for ati
[10:42] <jamisnemo> why does ubuntu have such an issue with sound support..
[10:42] <jcole> kane77: can't remember if you also have to set root passwd... if so, do a "sudo passwd" to set it
[10:42] <SurfnKid> do i run lsmod?
[10:42] <YetiChick> mynnx_: What you know is that you have a working config.  So what I would do is start with that working config and slowly add things to it 'til I saw where it broke.
[10:42] <dinochopins> velko: procmail is mailing list manager ?
[10:42] <dinochopins> velko: that's not what i mean :P
[10:42] <Tomatoma> yes, and in Feisty, they don't, thanks to desktop-effects
[10:42] <mynnx_> YetiChick:  I'll definitely try that
[10:42] <rambo3> PhilK, deCon http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=319336
[10:43] <Tomatoma> jeroensum, yes, and in Feisty, they don't, thanks to desktop-effects
[10:43] <mynnx_> YetiChick:  I'll let you know when I know something...thanks for your help
[10:43] <YetiChick> mynnx_: For example, copy/past the device and monitor sections, changing *only* what you need to to refer to the other display.
[10:43] <velko> dinochopins, huh? ok, maybe i missed the joke though...
[10:43] <YetiChick> mynnx_: And make as few changes as possible in between tries.
[10:43] <sinn637> jeroensum, what was that line yuou told me to type into my terminal for the var log ?
[10:43] <PhilK> rambo3: this is why I'm interested in e17, the fans are always so evangelical about it, there must be something ;)
[10:43] <sldkfj> I find it sort of odd that the password system into a tty program doesn't allow uppercase letters when the OS login does.
[10:43] <dinochopins> velko, sorry... I just read the manual and seems it can be the solution
[10:44] <jeroensum> Tomatoma, in beryl-manager there is/was a 'Visual effects' tab where you can go to 3D-effects and set 'window depth'
[10:44] <YetiChick> mynnx_: And, of course, make sure it is securely backed up before you start making changes.  :)
[10:44] <dinochopins> velko, thank you.. will learn it thoroughly first
[10:44] <velko> dinochopins, it can be ;-)
[10:44] <pandina> HELLO! how can i open a new X server on display :1? so i will have display :0 for karl and display :1 for tom
[10:44] <dinochopins> velko, really appreciate it
[10:44] <sldkfj> also, I reckon I'm just chatting with myself.....
[10:44] <jeroensum> sinn637, cat /var/log/messages
[10:45] <mynnx_> YetiChick:  Heh yeah, that's important
[10:45] <Tomatoma> jeroensum, Is this also in the desktop-effects pack ?
[10:45] <jeroensum> sinn637, then check for obvious errors, plz don't paste the whole thing

[10:46] <skulrid> is there a way to password protect my simple folders?
[10:46] <jeroensum> Tomatoma, I'm not sure, haven looked at it yet
[10:46] <apol> is it possible to use xrandr 1.2 with feisty?
[10:47] <YetiChick> mynnx_: That's strange.  Not something I've seen, although I always have gpm running.  Might make a difference.
[10:47] <Tomatoma> jeroensum, ok thanks, I'm looking gconf-editor
[10:47] <cdavisnet> password protect folders in appache ? skulrid
[10:47] <PhilK> rambo3: thanks man, I'll check it out when I get home

[10:47] <topgun553> dyrne, from what I have been reading there have been problems with twinview with feisty
[10:48] <kane77> can I manualy clean the swap?
[10:48] <topgun553> Does anyone know an easy way I could connect to a projecter with feisty on my laptop???
[10:48] <moonwatcher> can anyone explain to me how to set up an ATI 9600 to output video overlay to the s-video port
[10:48] <rambo3> kane77, what ?
[10:48] <moonwatcher> i am not sure if its possible even
 whats appache?
[10:48] <deCon> rambo3, what exactly is it, superlight version of ubuntu?
[10:48] <moonwatcher> with the open source driver
[10:48] <velko> kane77, i do swapoff and swapon
[10:48] <cdavisnet> skulrid a webserver
[10:48] <YetiChick> topgun553: Depends on the projector's interface.
[10:48] <topgun553> I'm guessing it will be a vga connection
[10:49] <topgun553> YetiChick, I am guessing it will be a vga connection
[10:49] <skulrid> cdavisnet well dunno ^^" I just want to protect some folders on my desktop with a password.
[10:49] <kane77> rambo3, it became a little cluttered because I didnt turn off computer for.. e.. a long time :)
[10:49] <YetiChick> topgun553: Then you should be able to simply use the VGA output of your laptop.
[10:49] <cdavisnet> skulrid.... no idea, sorry
[10:49] <rambo3> deCon, its window manger #elbuntu is built around it with ubuntu as base
[10:49] <jeroensum> Tomatoma,  try to install GLDesktop and Compiz-Extra plugins and then go to Gconf-editor then apps and then compiz
[10:49] <YetiChick> topgun553: however, X being what it is, it would be nice if you could test it before you had to do a presentation.
[10:50] <topgun553> yeah
[10:50] <topgun553> well shit
[10:50] <topgun553> YetiChick, how well does openoffice transfer to powerpoint?
[10:50] <PriceChild> !ohmy | topgun553
[10:50] <ubotu> topgun553: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[10:50] <olimpico> I'm getting log_daemon_msg: not found everywhere
[10:50] <deCon> rambo3, so itll run feisty, but with a lighter-on-ram windows manager?
[10:50] <olimpico> On the console, if I remove a package, on the init , everywhere
[10:51] <olimpico> PLEASE HELP, and some things don't work
[10:51] <YetiChick> topgun553: In my experience, quite well, although the interface is a bit different.
[10:51] <topgun553> hmm
[10:51] <rambo3> deCon, yeah as long as you turn on all widgets that are built in
[10:51] <topgun553> YetiChick, .... is it as good as powerpoint?
[10:51] <foug> i can't save my xorg.conf, i don't have permission. Never had this happen before, I've edited it many times, why is it giving me trouble now?
[10:51] <moonwatcher> foug: sudo....
[10:51] <PhilK> deCon: there's also fluxbox which is super light-weight, I'm pretty sure there's packages for it as well
[10:52] <ompaul> olimpico, so did you remember the locak configuration files after you did "sudo apt-get remove --purge application-name"?

[10:52] <imbecile> hey if i move some of my ntfs partition to my ext3 partition using gparted will i still be able to boot up?
[10:52] <YetiChick> topgun553: Well, I can't give you an unbiased answer.  I don't like Powerpoint, but I kind of like Impress (OpenOffice's Powerpoint app).
[10:52] <park13> i just installed myphpadmin and it works but it is acting strange.  I will login and it will tell me to login again after i already did.  I will be using myphpadmin and then click on link and it will ask me to login. sometime if i login in with correct usrer and password it will deny access
[10:52] <YetiChick> topgun553: But I'm not a big fan of that kind of presentation software.
[10:53] <rambo3> E42, you need restricted drivers
[10:53] <topgun553> YetiChick, what kind of presentation software do you use
[10:53] <OuZo__> what is the command to upgrade to Festy? thanks (sudo apt-get dist-upgrade - did not work)
[10:53] <E42> rambo3, hmm is there any .deb package with these drivers?
[10:53] <rambo3> E42, and firmware
[10:53] <kane77> deCon, or there is openbox, I installed it ran it and waited for it to load, until I realised it _is_ loaded (there was only mouse cursor on screen) :)
[10:53] <YetiChick> topgun553: I tend to build websites for making presentations.
[10:53] <Mr_Giraffe> hey, are the servers to upgrade to feisty still slow?
[10:54] <E42> OuZo__ , just get the feisty repositories to /etc/apt/sources.list and then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:54] <topgun553> YetiChick, ... websites???
[10:54] <jeroensum> park13, I think you might get more response here:  IRC: #phpmyadmin on irc.freenode.net
[10:54] <Tr0gd0r> anyone know how to get wireless on a macbook to work in ubuntu?
[10:54] <kirkunit> park13: seems more a like a problem with your server setup or php configuration than a problem with Ubuntu
[10:54] <YetiChick> topgun553: Yep.  No need to worry about compatibility - everyone has a browser.
[10:54] <rambo3> E42, no idea
[10:54] <topgun553> YetiChick, hahaha seems like too much work
[10:55] <OuZo__> E42: thanks, were is a example of the repositories or do i just change what ever was edgy to fest?
[10:55] <YetiChick> topgun553: Presentation software tends to encourage people to get "fancy" and lose the important points of their presentation.
[10:55] <deCon> kane77, ill check it out, thanks. got a lot of time to wait before that tiny project
[10:55] <jeroensum> park13, it's not to diss you, but it's like kirkunit said, not really an Ubuntu-like problem
[10:55] <park13> k
[10:55] <YetiChick> topgun553: Oh, there are a lot of easy website building toold, even if one isn't an old timer like me.  :)
[10:55] <rambo3> Quads, run gksudo update-manager -c

[10:59] <pekuja> is there an easy way to setup monitor spanning for two monitors in feisty?
[10:59] <YetiChick> topgun553:  Fair enough.  I have all three of the "last gen" consoles.  Have not yet picked up any of the new ones, although I'll probably end up with all three of them, too.
[10:59] <LsBlend> Can anybody help me with my problem? Pm me
[10:59] <topgun553> YetiChick, all 3?
[10:59] <fbn> magnetron: yes it does, but the vcard export from evolution seems to be strange because after the import all characters are chinese signs ...
[10:59] <pekuja> I've had enough trouble trying to do that by hand-modifying xorg.conf for Xinerama, I'm not up for that. With XRandr 1.2 it seemed to be pretty easy but that's not in Feisty yet.

[11:02] <LsBlend> can anybody help me? When i try to login, it hangs and never reaches the desktop.
[11:02] <jeroensum> Evensar, seems like the thing is still running in the background, try a  killall -9 qbittorrent
[11:02] <deCon> anyone know why my terminal is telling me i'm having all kinds of ALSA errors
[11:02] <LsBlend> more info: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=419979&highlight=faulty+installation
[11:02] <LsBlend> any help appreciated
[11:02] <dooglus> I click 'enable desktop effects' and it tells me 'desktop effects could not be enabled'.  where can I find more information?  I don't see any 'details' button.
[11:02] <dyrne> LsBlend: alt-ctrl-f2 and do df -h to check disk space then sudo adduser and try to login with new user
[11:02] <kaje> dyrne: if I change my mind later can I do a simple command like that to add it back?
[11:02] <shawn34> looking for a good winamp/amarok-like media player. Amarok is awsome but its to much for my second laptop, not too much ram.
[11:02] <fbn> magnetron: yes the rest is ok, but the field names are strange they have x-evolution in their names
[11:03] <jago25> Robbster, start with apt-cache search smp
[11:03] <dooglus> shawn34: beep-media-player?
[11:03] <kirkunit> Robbster: i have a similar setup and yes, the generic kernel should be fine
[11:03] <LsBlend> k ill try that.
[11:03] <Evensar> jeroensum: thanks it worked. any idea why it doesent shut downs completely?
[11:03] <shawn34> dooglus, playlist/collection editor?
[11:03] <knp> shawn34 beep media player
[11:03] <magnetron> fbn: all of the fields have x-evolujtion in them?
[11:03] <Robbster> jago25: I checked using synaptic. I don't want to break dependencies, so I want to ensure that the correct package is used.
[11:03] <YetiChick> topgun553:  Ah...  Well, I don't *plan* to, but if I see a game I want and don't have that console, I'll usually buy the console.
[11:03] <dyrne> kaje: yeah update-rc.d is the tool for adding the symlinks back so you dont have to do it manually. if youre unsure you can just sudo chmod -x /etc/init.d/gdm  then chmod +x to make it executable instead
[11:03] <stefg> !player | shawn34
[11:03] <ubotu> shawn34: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[11:03] <dooglus> shawn34: it's basically a winamp 2 work-alike
[11:04] <imbecile> Anyone, I put some of my ntfs partition to unallocated and I would like to add it to my ubuntu ext3 partition with gparted.. how do i do this?
[11:04] <Vaht> shawn34 Xmms
[11:04] <Jokiller> S! all ubuntu users
[11:04] <YetiChick> topgun553:  So I usually end up with all of them.
[11:04] <Robbster> kirkunit: is there anyway to check for a smp kernel, aside from using the system monitor?
[11:04] <gansinho> please, I'm trying to upgrate from edgy to feisty and I get the following error messege: "Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty-security/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)"
[11:04] <dooglus> I click 'enable desktop effects' and it tells me 'desktop effects could not be enabled'.  where can I find more information?  I don't see any 'details' button.
[11:04] <topgun553> YetiChick, aka why i bought a Halo player...
[11:04] <imbecile> please
[11:04] <rambo3> LsBlend, you dont have to repeat . sounds like old nvidia drivers in new system .  i know 0 about nvidia , and no wifi , sounds like you didnt install restricted drivers
[11:04] <jeroensum> Evensar, I'm not familiar with qbittorrent but it could be that it stays in de background to keep seeding, check de documentation for answers on that...  maybe there's a commandline switch or option in the program which prevents it...
[11:04] <jago25> Robbster, oh sorry generic kernel is ok; i'm out of date
[11:04] <dyrne> kaje: either update-rc.d or just remove executable flag
[11:04] <Lbawinowns> !mount lbawinowns
[11:04] <Lbawinowns> !mount

[11:04] <LsBlend> how do u?
[11:04] <Robbster> Linux hostname 2.6.17-10-386 #2 Tue Dec 5 22:26:18 UTC 2006 i686 GNU/Linux
[11:04] <jago25> Robbster, so i guess it is using both
[11:04] <fbn> magnetron: no, but the mobile phone for example
[11:04] <LsBlend> lol
[11:04] <magnetron> fbn, i suspect a character encoding problem
[11:04] <Lbawinowns> !fstab
[11:04] <Evensar> jeroensum: ah ty=)
[11:05] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[11:05] <Robbster> jago25: system monitor disagrees :(
[11:05] <jeroensum> Evensar, NP  :)
[11:05] <salah> any idea how to get my wireless network card to work?
[11:05] <fbn> magnetron: TEL;TYPE=CELL;X-EVOLUTION-UI-SLOT=1:017574370
[11:05] <shawn34> dooglus, thanks, i'll check that out
[11:05] <jeroensum> LsBlend, we all started out somewhere sometime ;-)
[11:05] <fbn> magnetron: and I don't think that mac can read/understand this
[11:05] <danlock2> so, i'm playing with server edition, any ideas why the install seems to be sitting @ 85% php5-mysql
[11:05] <YetiChick> topgun553:  So I expect to have all three within a year or two.  :)
[11:05] <jago25> Robbster, i'm lost then, never been rich enough 4 dual core
[11:05] <kirkunit> robbster: you mean you want to find out which kernel your running?
[11:05] <LsBlend>  lol, but how do u  install restricted drivers?
[11:05] <Robbster> southafrikanse: hoezit ;)
[11:06] <imbecile> well im off to ruin ubuntu/windows.. :/
[11:06] <LsBlend> and i have a nvidia geforece 7300 LE
[11:06] <Robbster> kirkunit: yeah. I want to see if an smp aware kernel is installed.
[11:06] <imbecile> CAN I RESIZE A EXT3 PARITION!!!
[11:06] <rambo3> LsBlend, System -> administration -> manage restricted driver . it will tell you what you need to install
[11:06] <southafrikanse> Robbster: Great you? I need help once again. Being noob needs me to go right to the channel help xD
[11:06] <imbecile> :/
[11:06] <danlock2> so, i'm playing with server edition, any ideas why the install seems to be sitting @ 85% php5-mysql
[11:06] <m0n1t0r> Hello. Someone is having problem with the open office 2,2 Press
[11:06] <knp> imbecile yes u can
[11:06] <magnetron> fbn, that should not be any problem, the x-evolution is just redundant data. you have to transfer the vcf file in ascii mode
[11:06] <somatt> hello
[11:06] <magnetron> !caps
[11:06] <kirkunit> Robbster: uname -r  will tell you the current kernel
[11:06] <Tr0gd0r> anyone else have a problem compiling madwifi on feisty fawn
[11:06] <Robbster> southafrikanse: wasup?
[11:06] <somatt> can anyone give me the difference between ubuntu and edubuntu
[11:06] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[11:06] <|thunder> all: Whats a GUI app I can use to easily add files to an ISO ?
[11:07] <Robbster> kirkunit: humm, nothing about smp :(
[11:07] <|thunder> imbecile; yes, use gparted
[11:07] <LsBlend> i cant get to the desktop!, where do i get to that menu rambo3 ?
[11:07] <jago25> kirkunit, Robbster thought he had to install a special smp kernel as in days past but smp kernels are listed obselete so I guess it's in the generic kernel now anyway/  however, system monitor only lists one cpu. sys mon problem?
[11:07] <dyrne> somatt: a theme and some apps
[11:07] <mneptok> Tr0gd0r: why do you have to compile it?
[11:07] <danlock2> so, i'm playing with server edition, any ideas why the install seems to be sitting @ 85% php5-mysql
[11:07] <somatt> |thunder, what os? ubuntu?
[11:07] <dyrne> somatt: its skin deep
[11:07] <kane77> is there any scheduler in feisty or is  it just linux native??
[11:07] <somatt> thx dyne
[11:07] <somatt> dyrne
[11:07] <|thunder> somatt; yess
[11:07] <somatt> thx
[11:07] <mwe> Tr0gd0r: installed build-essential and linux-headers-$(uname -r) ?
[11:07] <m0n1t0r> Hello. Someone is having problem with the open office 2,2 Press?
[11:07] <somatt> another question
[11:07] <jeroensum> kane77, there's allways cron  :-)
[11:07] <somatt> ubuntu is debian based right?
[11:08] <fbn> magnetron: I send the vcf file per mail to the mac, how can I control if it's ascii mode?
[11:08] <Robbster> jago25: I doubt it. My intel core2 duo chip is happily sing both cores (also edgy)
[11:08] <somatt> which is why apt-get works right?
[11:08] <shawn34> rythmbox is nice but i think it needs some updating.. its way too BIG
[11:08] <mwe> somatt: yeah
[11:08] <dac> yetichick, are you still there?
[11:08] <kane77> jeroensum, eh, I mean the cpu scheduler :)
[11:08] <knp> lsblend Ctrl + Alt + Backspace , then Alt + F6?
[11:08] <YetiChick> dac:  Yep.
[11:08] <|thunder> somatt; yess
[11:08] <southafrikanse> Robbster: When I start Ubuntu, a Windows appears saying: The application 'nm-applet' (/usr/bin/nm-applet) wants to access the default key, but this is locked". How can I disable this?
[11:08] <d0lph1nK1ng> anyone know what driver to install for an ATI TV Wonder Elite tv tuner card?
[11:08] <jeroensum> kane77, ah LOL srry bout that then :D
[11:08] <|thunder> all: Whats a GUI app I can use to easily add files to an ISO ?
[11:08] <LsBlend> k
[11:08] <LsBlend> thx
[11:08] <XYZZZ> ,,
[11:08] <kirkunit> Robbster: you could search for 'kernel' in synaptic, you'll see an SMP version there and it will tel lif you have it installed or not
[11:08] <imbecile> |thunder, i have another 20 GB to give ubuntu unallocated and have gparted open.. what do i do next?
[11:08] <XYZZZ> The best darn distro around ;)
[11:08] <Tr0gd0r> mwe thanks, installling build-essential now
[11:08] <kane77> jeroensum, np, that was bad question.. :)
[11:08] <Robbster> kirkunit: k, lemme check
[11:08] <Robbster> southafrikanse: nm-applet? is this a new install?
[11:09] <mwe> |thunder: k3b?
[11:09] <magnetron> fbn, i don't know. maybe you could zip it first? or another compression and choose text mode explicitly
[11:09] <sppatel> hi all, i just updated the vido card on my box running ubuntu 7.04 to hook inorder to get a dvi connection into my 30" apple cienma display. ubutu starts up on the display, but X server starts to fail.  Any ideas on what do i need to do?
[11:09] <kane77> is there any cpu scheduler in feisty or does it use just linux native one??
[11:09] <|thunder> imbecile; where it says 20GB, change it to 30
[11:09] <dac> I found out that the HD wont work in my old boxes.
[11:09] <|thunder> mwe; i tried that, can open an ISO for editing
[11:09] <kirkunit> Robbster: you might have to change your grub settings if you want it to boot the SMP kernel. I suspect the kernel version isn't the problem though, both your processors should be working with the generic kernel
[11:09] <somatt> I have ati video card.  Is this supported or what?  If so, how do I use my S-Video out?
[11:09] <jeroensum> kane77, I'm not really sure what u mean by an cpu scheduler
[11:09] <XYZZZ> sppatel, PPC or 386?
[11:09] <mwe> kane77: there is the powernowd
[11:09] <progek> anyone know how to setup vncviewer through terminal? I'm logged into my house remotely (ssh)
[11:09] <Robbster> kirkunit: 'dpkg -l|grep -i smp' only return smproxy :(
[11:09] <hydrozen> What does the smbpasswd command do exactly? I don't have a /etc/samba/smbusers file and just did smbpasswd and everything works... i would just like to know what smbpasswd does exactly
[11:09] <|thunder> mwe; id have to make a new ISO from scratch.
[11:09] <sppatel> XYZZZ: 386
[11:09] <Tr0gd0r> mwe: works now!!!
[11:09] <imbecile> |thunder, ok
[11:09] <southafrikanse> Robbster: When I type the default key. My Internet starts working
[11:10] <mwe> Tr0gd0r: great
[11:10] <XYZZZ> what type of card is it, sppatel?
[11:10] <fbn> magnetron: i don't see an option to select text mode with gnome archiver ...
[11:10] <Robbster> southafrikanse: wireless?
[11:10] <dyrne> |thunder: iso is a read only format so youd have to mount and copy files out and create new iso right?
[11:10] <somatt> I have ati mobility video card.  Is this supported or what?  If so, how do I use my S-Video out?
[11:10] <southafrikanse> Robbster: Yes
[11:10] <dac> Fry electronics suggested I bring back the HD
[11:10] <fbn> magnetron: but i'll try zip
[11:10] <kane77> jeroensum, that is the "thing" that schedules processes for cpu time...
[11:10] <mwe> |thunder: I see

[11:10] <southafrikanse> Robbster: I want it do go on the Internet automatticaly
[11:10] <kevinh90> Hi
[11:10] <XYZZZ> sppatel, give me one second...
[11:10] <sppatel> sure
[11:11] <Robbster> southafrikanse: my install does the same :). As I understand it, you store your wireless access key 'securely' in your user account. The key is used to decode the stored wireless password so that you can get access to the network.
[11:11] <phoeni1> where can i download system sounds?
[11:11] <somatt> how do i install programs from tarballs?
[11:11] <dac> so, I'm going to ask around,if anyone has old computers they don't want.
[11:11] <dooglus> I click 'enable desktop effects' and it tells me 'desktop effects could not be enabled'.  where can I find more information?  I don't see any 'details' button.
[11:11] <progek> I'm trying to setup remote desktop from terminal. I'm connect to my house through ssh. Anyone know how I can do it?

[11:11] <southafrikanse> Robbster: Yes. But I want to disable it.
[11:11] <phoeni1> !sounds
[11:12] <magnetron> fbn: another option would be to convert the file in Mac OS X from UTF-8 to the native macosx format (iso latin-1?)
[11:12] <phoeni1> !sound
[11:12] <konam> is there a way to get gfxboot on feisty?
[11:12] <phoeni1> aargh
[11:12] <Robbster> southafrikanse: I see that you have 2 routes. 1) put up with the key request and be happy that your wireless network is more secure (cough), or leave your wireless passwords unsecured.
[11:12] <YetiChick> dac:  Did you need anything?  I'm about to run and install some software on a client's computer, but I have a minute or two.
[11:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sounds - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:12] <somatt> bang compile <filename> ?
[11:12] <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 that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[11:12] <Tr0gd0r> hmm i installed lilo and now my startup is verbose, it didnt used to be

[11:12] <babo> guys, in terms of getting a dvd to work. i've already installed vlc and (apparently) the gstreamer libs ....

[11:12] <dac> no, but I do appreciate all you've done TY

[11:13] <southafrikanse> Robbster: Thank you. I don't need to much protection cause where I live nobody as the knowledge to take anything from me
[11:13] <mwe> lobosque: dd or partimage

[11:15] <Jones> Since I have 64bit Ubuntu 7.04 is that the reason my wifi internet wont connect?
[11:15] <magnetron> Lbawinowns, gparted is included on the desktop cd, it can resize some file systems. i heard it can resize ext3 too.
[11:16] <mwe> somatt: dpkg -l|grep build-essential
[11:16] <Jones> Im thinking of juts downloading the 84bit verson and using that
[11:16] <konam> is there a way to get gfxboot on feisty?

[11:17] <kevinh90> just put it in, and when it tells you you dont have the codec, tell it to search
[11:18] <kane77> jeroensum, nah, it goes further than that, there are many schedulers (different time/memory complexity of switching tasks) and there is new one Completely fair scheduler that has O(1) complexity...
[11:18] <Lbawinowns> magnetron, must I do it from boot ?
[11:18] <somatt> mwe: but i don't know if i have the package, dpkg just showed me a list, and I am assuming build is in the bs so I can't see upwards of L
[11:18] <phoeni1> olimpico: you can try reconfiguring by dpkg -reconfigure -a
[11:18] <somatt> mwe: and i don't want to reinstall the package if I already have it, i am assuming that is bad
[11:18] <kane77> jeroensum, those are kernel stuff so Ill try asking there
[11:18] <Robbster> southafrikanse: check out:http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=192281
[11:18] <somatt> mwe: but I could be wrong, I am coming from windows so there are a lot of assumptions which may not apply
[11:18] <mwe> somatt: it wont reinstall if you have it
[11:19] <somatt> ok cool
[11:19] <somatt> mwe: ok cool thanks
[11:19] <somatt> mwe: brb
[11:19] <Robbster> southafrikanse: apparently this is the fix. I'm emailing it to the office so that I can finally get rid of it on my laptop :)
[11:19] <Ravengbc> hows it going everyone?
[11:19] <southafrikanse> Robbster: Ok
[11:19] <magnetron> Lbawinowns: don't resize a partition that is mounted. that is why you should resize it after booting from the desktop cd
[11:19] <tomek_> hello
[11:19] <Robbster> lo Ravengbc: well :)
[11:20] <osarusan> hi... im having a weird sound problem. sound works fine in Gaim, but none of the Ubuntu system sounds will play, and I can't get audio in any other kind of file (i have the codecs installed.. they were working fine last night)
[11:20] <phoeni1> olimpico: dpkg-reconfigure -a that is.. might help.. dont know for sure

[11:23] <Chai_Sangeen> hi
[11:23] <mwe> somatt: what program. usually just chmod +x it and run
[11:23] <progek> exit
[11:23] <kevinh90> Oritemis, is there any important data you need restored?
[11:23] <olimpico> phoeni1: The system has been working for weeks
[11:23] <phoeni1> shawn34: whats the specs of your machine?
[11:23] <somatt> mwe: i have a tarball on my desktop of the thing and I don't know how to get it into the os.
[11:23] <magnetron> !compile
[11:23] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[11:23] <tomek_> can someone tell me how to compare 2 files & save the diferences to specified file ?? can i do that in ubu ??
[11:23] <Oritemis> kevinh90, I booted in a old version of kernel. But Gnome is a mess.
[11:23] <dyrne> melange: sudo fdisk -l
[11:23] <olimpico> I originally installed edgy and upgraded some days ago to feisty, but till today I have problems
[11:24] <somatt> mwe: dvd::rip is the program.  site is http://www.exit1.org/dvdrip/doc/install.cipp#debian
[11:24] <mwe> somatt: unpack it first. usually click it
[11:24] <Oritemis> kevinh90, And yes, there a lot o data here.
[11:24] <olimpico> phoeni1:  I originally installed edgy and upgraded some days ago to feisty, but till today I have problems
[11:24] <Kerion_> How come my wireless card, D-Link SWL 520 rev.d is not supported in Fiesty, yet was in all the other ones?
[11:24] <Oritemis> there are*
[11:24] <southafrikanse> Where can I change my login password?

[11:24] <Lbawinowns> magnetron, is gpart on  a bit old cd's Ive got copy of a Dapper Drake, will that work?
[11:24] <jrib> southafrikanse: system > preferences > about me
[11:24] <kevinh90> Oritemis, try apt-get -ing the new kernel, and ubuntu-desktop, and do a apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:24] <mwe> southafrikanse: open a terminal and type passwd
[11:24] <cedricshock> Hi. Do any of you know how to turn an LCD backlight on and off from the command line?
[11:24] <kevinh90> southafrikanse, passwd
[11:24] <tomek_> 1 question please
[11:24] <kevinh90> tomek_, ask away
[11:24] <Robbster> kirkunit: the pastebin is giving me hastles. I think that the link you want is
[11:24] <Robbster> model name      : AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 4600+
[11:24] <southafrikanse> Thank you
[11:25] <babo> kevinh90, I've installed the gstreamer libs, checked for the libdvd libs and ran the install-css.sh script. Totem still won't play a dvd. I think perhaps it needs a bit more work to be classified as 'simple' ;-)
[11:25] <olimpico> A lot of things stoped working
[11:25] <somatt> mwe: also what version of debian is ubuntu based on?
[11:25] <SurfnKid> !w32codecs
[11:25] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[11:25] <Oritemis> kevinh90, I am running a dpkg --configure -a now.
[11:25] <mwe> somatt: put it in /usr/local ...

[11:25] <phoeni1> olimpico: im not too knowledgeable regarding the details.. maybe someone else might be able to help..
[11:25] <kevinh90> babo i am going to try setting up dvd here
[11:25] <SeveredCross> somatt: I think sarge, but I'm not sure...
[11:25] <tomek_> can i compare 2 file (yes i know "cmp" command) and "automatically" save found differences to a file ???
[11:25] <mwe> somatt: don't put your own stuff in /usr/...
[11:25] <phoeni1> olimpico: googling now
[11:25] <SeveredCross> tomek: diff file1 file2 > diff.txt
[11:25] <kevinh90> i have a nearly fresh feisty install
[11:25] <TJensen> Has anyone managed to mount USB disks with write permissions without putting it into fstab?
[11:25] <babo> kevinh90, it tells me that totem doesn't have the appropriate plugins to play the movie ...
[11:25] <magnetron> Lbawinowns: i don't know. if you need a bootable cd with gparted, there is one availiable at the gparted homepage. it is a smaller download.
[11:25] <tomek_> THANKS MAN :):)
[11:26] <southafrikanse> What happened to Skype on Ubuntu 7.04?
[11:26] <Robbster> southafrikanse: the walkthrough in getting it running should work fine for fiest (7.04). just 1st try to get the packages before trying to compile. much easier.
[11:26] <mwe> TJensen: mine mounts rw by default
[11:26] <dyrne> TJensen: mount -o umask=000 /dev/blah /mnt ?
[11:26] <Oritemis> kevinh90, I hope it will make it work
[11:26] <olimpico> phoeni1: I have been goggling for hours
[11:26] <southafrikanse> Robbster: Ok
[11:26] <Robbster> southafrikanse: have you enabled the other repositories?
[11:26] <olimpico> phoeni1: And got nothing
[11:26] <kirkunit> TJenson: I had to reformat my external USB as ext3 before I could write to it. it was pre-formatted ntfs
[11:26] <somatt> mwe: because it has apt-get sources but there are 4 sources and I don't know which is the right one to add to my source list to apt-get it
[11:26] <southafrikanse> Robbster: What do you meen?
[11:26] <|thunder> Can an ISO be mounted with write support ?
[11:26] <Oritemis> kevinh90, but i am completely unsure.
[11:27] <kirkunit> Robbster: i couldn't see the link
[11:27] <somatt> mwe: the sources on the website are sarge, etch, sid, and expiramental
[11:27] <mwe> somatt: the most recant probably
[11:27] <somatt>  mwe: i don't know which is the most recent
[11:27] <mwe> somatt: sid, probably
[11:27] <kevinh90> Oritemis, when i messed up an upgrade, i did a apt-get dist-upgrade after it failed, and it fixed just about all the problems
[11:27] <phoeni1> olimpico: its a dependancy problem
[11:27] <somatt> mwe: ok will it break everything if i do the wrong one
[11:27] <Robbster> southafrikanse: brb ...
[11:28] <TJensen> Does that work with the 'automount' in KDE?
[11:28] <mwe> somatt: just uninstall it if it does'nt work
[11:28] <phoeni1> olimpico: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/pkg-lighttpd-maintainers/2005-December/000019.html
[11:28] <Oritemis> kevinh90, oh good to know. I will try if it doesn't work. Thank you.
[11:28] <kevinh90> sarge is old, etch is current, sid is dangerous, and experimental is experimental
[11:28] <mwe> ubuntu current is based on sid
[11:28] <ttrt> Hello. Cannot mount CD/DVD in Feisty - where is a good place to start looking for a solution?
[11:29] <olimpico> phoeni1: Do you think is the same problem I have?
[11:29] <kevinh90> babo, i am getting the same error as you
[11:29] <phoeni1> olimpico: most probably
[11:29] <Oritemis> ttrt, fstab
[11:29] <olimpico> phoeni1: I just don't understand, what should i do?
[11:29] <Ravengbc> Konam, did you get any of my pvt messages?
[11:29] <somatt> mwe:
[11:29] <babo> kevinh90, I'm going through the gstreamer libs and installing them one by one ...
[11:29] <konam> Ravengbc no, im not logged
[11:29] <magnetron> ttrt: does the user in question have permisions to mount cd:s? look in System > Admin >users and groups
[11:29] <Oritemis> ttrt, check if there are a "auto" there
[11:29] <Robbster> southafrikanse: bookmark this link: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[11:29] <jamisnemo> how does ubuntu auto config soundcards? mine is not working at all
[11:29] <konam> but whatever you wanna say you can say it here
[11:29] <konam> :)
[11:29] <steharg79_> my panels have just disappeared - anyone know how to get them back?
[11:29] <somatt> mwe: so i added the source deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org sid main to my sources list then It tried to update the catalog, and it says I have no public key
[11:30] <Robbster> it contains all sorts of info. take some time. There's lots of good stuff in there.
[11:30] <dyrne> jamisnemo: you have onboard and pci cards?
[11:30] <ttrt> this is what is says: /dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
[11:30] <kirkunit> !sound
[11:30] <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 that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[11:30] <tomek_> veeeeeeeeeeery simple question : directory removing ?
[11:30] <ttrt> I'm not familiar with the scd0
[11:30] <jrib> somatt: don't use debian repos.  Why do you want to use that repository?
[11:30] <sam_kaay> How can you change the permissions of a specific directory? I would like to make it so i can drag and drop files into the www DIR
[11:30] <Robbster> tomek_: use mv (move)
[11:30] <Ravengbc> has nothing to do with not wanting to say it in here. has to do with the fact that there's a whole lot of traffic in here and no one seems to have had a chance to read my original question.
[11:30] <somatt> jrib: i don't know I just want this program dvd::rip
[11:30] <Galga> hi, can i upgrade my distro 6.10 to 7.04 now?
[11:30] <orbin> steharg79_: try killall gnome-panel
[11:31] <tomek_> dont want to move - need to REMOVE :)
[11:31] <magnetron> tomek_: right click and choose "move to trash bin"
[11:31] <Robbster> tomek_: mv /path/to/old/dir /path/to/destination
[11:31] <jrib> !info dvdrip | somatt
[11:31] <ubotu> somatt: dvdrip: perl front end for transcode. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:0.98.4-0ubuntu1 (feisty), package size 1083 kB, installed size 2572 kB
[11:31] <k001> any help, a need increment the brightness on my laptop vaio
[11:31] <tomek_> from terminal
[11:31] <jrib> somatt: dvdrip is in multiverse
[11:31] <ttrt> and yes, I have admin rights
[11:31] <kevinh90> Galga, replace all the "edgy"'s with "feisty"'s in /etc/apt/sources.list
[11:31] <Robbster> tomek_: rmdir dirname
[11:31] <k001> i'm uses feisty
[11:31] <phoeni1> phoeni1: the drastic thing to do would be to remove ubuntu-desktop and reinstall it again.. i dont know if that will solve it.. if you have the feisty cd and its respective entry in the sources.list, the process will be faster. but you should ask someone knowledgeable for a proper solution.
[11:31] <tomek_> thank You
[11:31] <kevinh90> Galga, and then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[11:31] <dyrne> tomek_: for empty dir do 'rmdir' for non empty you need recursive del so rm -r dir/
[11:31] <TJensen> How do I control the settings of /media/.hal-mtab? It is automatically written when e.g. a USB device is added
[11:31] <tomek_> bye bye all :)
[11:31] <steharg79_> orbin: it says 'no process killed
[11:31] <jamisnemo> dyrne:  I have onboard sound on a laptop
[11:32] <somatt> jrib: THANK YOU
