[10:11] <Kezzer> MistaED, surely it'd be easier for me to reinstall Ubuntu?
[10:11] <MistaED> kezzer: you could try this, sudo echo /usr/sbin/gdm >> /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[10:11] <roxanne> sweet, i'll try it out.
[10:11] <Kezzer> hehe, ok
[10:12] <Badm4n> i'm looking someone that can help me about console screensaver
[10:12] <MistaED> kezzer: then run that sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm
[10:12] <dli> ubushine, how to get a reasonable menu in fluxbox?
[10:12] <Hexidigital> hey guys... if i want to connect to this channel from a remote interface, what is the IRC command to do so
[10:12] <Hexidigital> ?>
[10:12] <Kezzer> I'm getting a permission denied on that one MistaED
[10:12] <MistaED> kezzer: did you sudo
[10:12] <MistaED> *?
[10:12] <Hexidigital> "/channel something?"
[10:12] <ubushine> dli, menu? just right-click on the desktop. lots of menus there.
[10:13] <Kezzer> yes MistaED
[10:13] <ubushine> try damn small inux if you want to see fluxbox done right
[10:13] <xsquared> Hexidigital, dude, its /join
[10:13] <gnomefreak> !fluxbox
[10:13] <ubotu> from memory, fluxbox is a lightweight window manager.  Installation instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Fluxbox.  More information at http://fluxbox.sourceforge.net
[10:13] <Kezzer> ubotu from memory, fluxbox is a lightweight window manager.  Installation instructions at htt
[10:13] <ubotu> Kezzer: what are you talking about?
[10:13] <xsquared> Hexidigital, please read about irc before you continue to use it
[10:13] <Hexidigital> xsquared, thanks man... i'm new to IRC
[10:13] <roxanne> gnomefreak, you recommended xfce4 right?
[10:13] <Kezzer> doh
[10:13] <Kezzer> wtf
[10:13] <gnomefreak> ^^^ there is a menu part in there
[10:13] <xsquared> :)
[10:13] <dli> ubushine, including openoffice?
[10:13] <gnomefreak> roxanne: always ;)
[10:13] <Hexidigital> xsquared, and i'm trying to join everything to gaim
[10:13] <MistaED> kezzer: alright, just run sudo gedit /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[10:13] <Gareth> lmao, gnomefreak recommends xfce?
[10:13] <Gareth> interesting namesake
[10:13] <MistaED> and then type in /usr/sbin/gdm inside
[10:13] <Kezzer> kezzer@kezzer:~$ sudo echo /usr/sbin/gdm >> /etc/X11/default-display-manager
[10:13] <Kezzer> bash: /etc/X11/default-display-manager: Permission denied
[10:14] <ubushine> OO in damn small linux? nope. it's only 50MB to download the entire thing
[10:14] <roxanne> gnomefreak, do you kno any other low memory types that are more user friendly?
[10:14] <gnomefreak> roxanne: thats the lowest "user friendly" desktop what is it you need to know?
[10:14] <Kezzer> It's already set to /usr/sbin/gdm in that file
[10:15] <Gareth> I forget, does Puppy Linux come with OO or the like?
[10:15] <wd3> how do i install ftb.0.3.2.tar.gz i just dl gdesklets?
[10:15] <Gareth> heh good call xfcefreak
[10:15] <roxanne> Maybe i'm just being a girl, but it's not as pretty and easy as gnome
[10:15] <Hexidigital> xsquared, thanks, man... this is all i needed to know
[10:15] <Hexidigital> :)
[10:16] <sfar-ubu> roxanne: try IceWM then.. its even more ugly :)
[10:16] <Frogzoo> roxanne: can't have your cake & eat it dude
[10:16] <xsquared> Hexidigital, thats alright
[10:16] <ubushine> roxanne, if you want pretty use OSX it's purdy
[10:16] <dli> roxanne, there are ugly wms there, don't worry
[10:16] <xfcefreak> this better?
[10:16] <sfar-ubu> then you might find xfce4 pretty nice
[10:16] <roxanne> I cant figure out how to make an icon on the desktop.
[10:16] <Gareth> absolutely
[10:16] <MistaED> roxanne: i have some ideas on how to make gnome a little lighter, try installing a lighter gtk2 engine (in synaptic, look up gtk2-engines in the search)
[10:16] <xsquared> is there a lighttpd package for breezy?
[10:16] <Hexidigital> xsquared, i may be new to IRC, but i'm learning a LOT of cool things at once :)  overwealming
[10:16] <xsquared> Hexidigital, how old are you?
[10:17] <roxanne> Where is synaptic? everything has moved!!
[10:17] <xfcefreak> roxanne: right click add launcher than add what you want costom (what you would use to launch it from cli)
[10:17] <Hexidigital> 24
[10:17] <Mabus06> roxanne: The theme in GNOME is more to use the top panel for 'shortcuts', and to just save documents you're using or working on or whatever to Desktop
[10:17] <xsquared> wow
[10:17] <xfcefreak> roxanne: it should be in the tools menu (or gnome menu) i cant remember
[10:17] <Mabus06> Although you can put shortcuts on the desktop if you want.
[10:17] <Hexidigital> wow cause i should already know this stuff?
[10:18] <wd3> hey guys i just dl gdesklet - ftb how do i install the tar.gz.?
[10:18] <xsquared> Hexidigital, no, lol, you have ALOT to learn
[10:18] <xsquared> :-)
[10:18] <MistaED> kezzer: i suppose it's just easier to reinstall ubuntu, if you couldn't be bothered trying more stuff out
[10:18] <xfcefreak> wd3: why did nt you run sudo apt-get install gdesklets?
[10:18] <ubushine> roxanne, hit F2 you can type anything you want to launch from there
[10:18] <xfcefreak> s/did nt/didnt
[10:18] <ReWT_AxS> wds
[10:19] <ubushine> sorry that was alt F2
[10:19] <h0nus> back!
[10:19] <ReWT_AxS> just type 'sudo apt-get gdesklets'
[10:19] <roxanne> I found it.
[10:19] <h0nus> still no sound =(
[10:19] <ReWT_AxS> it will do it all for you?
[10:19] <Hexidigital> xsquared, i know! i just installed Ubuntu Breezy, and i'm trying to get rid of Win... i found this chat by "accident" and was amazed at all the commands, etc... i knew IRC existed, but i didnt know what it 'did'
[10:19] <wd3> i was told if i dl i will get the new version, i installed conky ap get and have an old version.
[10:19] <ReWT_AxS> err
[10:20] <dli> h0nus, what audio card?
[10:20] <xfcefreak> wd3: a tar is very time consuming to install there are alot of steps before you even think of installing it :(
[10:20] <Hexidigital> xsquared, using Gaim to connect to this channel just makes it a whole lot easier
[10:20] <h0nus> soundblaster audigy 2
[10:20] <xsquared> Hexidigital, im glad you've stepped up to this
[10:20] <mbuh> @find toto
[10:20] <C-O-L-T> albacker: hello
[10:20] <Hexidigital> :) thanks!
[10:20] <h0nus> so many things are related to that card
[10:20] <h0nus> but nothing is working
[10:21] <xfcefreak> wd3: one tar took me 10 mins to install other tars have taken me 6-8 hrs to install
[10:21] <wd3> xfcefreak thanks, i will apt get, however that will install the ftb right? well what about the weather plug in also, i dl that but will apt get install the weather plugin?
[10:21] <nige> anyone know how to install ati drivers in kubuntu?
[10:21] <xsquared> nige, they do
[10:21] <ReWT_AxS> !ati
[10:21] <ubotu> ati is, like, totally, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI or http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24557&page=1&pp=10 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=423589
[10:21] <Hexidigital> xsquared, maybe we can chat some more sometime... but right now it's 4.30am here... and i'm exhausted... had to give a speech in a history class today, and my nerves are shot
[10:21] <dli> h0nus, modprobe snd-ca0106
[10:22] <xfcefreak> wd3: weather will be there not sure about ftb. weather plug-in somes with them
[10:22] <roxanne> ubushine, So i'm going to change it, OSX?
[10:22] <xfcefreak> comes*
[10:22] <ubushine> roxanne, i was playing. OSX is apple, as in Mac. as in aqua. OSX
[10:22] <wd3> xfcefreak,  i just swithch from ubuntu gnome to ubuntu xfce,  i love it :)
[10:22] <dli> h0nus, modprobe snd-emu10k1
[10:23] <h0nus> i got fatal errors with last
[10:23] <dli> h0nus, modprobe snd-emu10k1x
[10:23] <Kezzer> MistaED, I know nothing of linux, but I've tried what everyone has said with no luck whatsoever
[10:23] <h0nus> module snd_ca0106 not found
[10:23] <roxanne> I'm stupid.
[10:23] <xfcefreak> roxanne: no your not
[10:23] <roxanne> OSX tiger I get it now.
[10:23] <xfcefreak> roxanne: you dont know how to use it yet thats not stupid thats novice ;)
[10:24] <h0nus> nothing happened that time dli
[10:24] <ubushine> roxanne, if you like pretty you'll love tiger
[10:24] <MistaED> kezzer: it just sounds like the initial bootup scripts are not working correctly to boot up gdm, gnome's login manager thing
[10:24] <wd3> xfcefreak, cool. well if i apt get gdesklet, will it install just the ftb? if so how do i get the extra plug like weather, and so forth?
[10:24] <xsquared> does anyone know if there is a lighttpd package for ubuntu
[10:24] <xsquared> bah!
[10:24] <roxanne> My humor was developmentally delayed as a child, and it's carried all the way into my young adult life.
[10:24] <xfcefreak> wd3: gdesklets has a bunch of things with it you shouldnt have to install anything else
[10:25] <Kezzer> Hmm, well I've run out of ideas, mind you, I did ages ago
[10:25] <dli> h0nus, what's in alsamixer now?
[10:25] <roxanne> ubushine, are you being cruel?
[10:25] <h0nus> checking...
[10:25] <h0nus> lots (including EIC modules)
[10:25] <ubushine> roxanne, not at all. OSX is the nicest user interface i've seen. but it's not open source.
[10:25] <MistaED> kezzer: how do you enter gnome at the moment anyway? do you login via the console then run startx or something?
[10:26] <wd3> xfcefreak, oh i went to the site and saw ftb, the weather plug, calc, etc; is all that rolled up in one in gdesklet?
[10:26] <roxanne> hmm...
[10:26] <Kezzer> Nope, it just starts automatically
[10:26] <dli> MistaED, install gdm or kdm
[10:26] <gnomefreak> wd3: yes
[10:26] <Kezzer> but I removed all the kubuntu-desktop stuff and it didn't actually get rid of anything
[10:26] <h0nus> interesting...
[10:26] <gnomefreak> when you type sudo apt-get insall gdesklets it will come with all of them
[10:27] <h0nus> i know that IEC can cause the problems i'm having
[10:27] <roxanne> ubushine, I'm not in the market for a new computer, is there any interface that was light and wowed you with simplicity?
[10:27] <h0nus> but one of the IEC settings is on
[10:27] <h0nus> and I don't have the option to turn it off
[10:27] <wd3> gnomefreak, well thanks, i'm apting then. i'm just a little afraid because every time i  apt i get an old version like conky, then i apt update and apt ugrade and i still have the old version :(
[10:27] <MistaED> so kezzer, what does ubuntu actually do when it logs into gnome?
[10:27] <h0nus> "m" does nothing
[10:27] <Kezzer> when it boots up it goes into the kubuntu login screen
[10:28] <Kezzer> then I just login as usual and it starts up as usual
[10:28] <ubushine> roxanne, simplicity not really, but enlightenment blew me away madly. seriously. get elive. it's like ubuntu, based on debian. but so gorgeous.
[10:28] <gnomefreak> wd3: that would depend on what repos you have and what ubuntu version you have
[10:28] <h0nus> it's IEC958 btw
[10:28] <roxanne> ubushine, Elive?
[10:28] <wd3> gnomefreak i have my universe,and multiverse checked
[10:29] <gnomefreak> wd3: are you using warty,hoary,breezy,dapper?
[10:29] <ubushine> roxanne, yes elive. it's a live cd so you don't need to install it. it'll run right from the cd. check here for screenshots and if you decide to try it. it's pretty awesome. http://www.elivecd.org/gb/Main/Screenshots/
[10:29] <wd3> gomefreak, breezy 10.5
[10:29] <MistaED> ubushine: enlightenment is so much worse though than xfce4 in terms of consistency with menus and things, sure it's damn fast but it's very unstable too
[10:29] <gnomefreak> 5.10 but close enough ;)
[10:30] <wd3> :0
[10:30] <roxanne> I don't have a burner.
[10:30] <h0nus> what's the gnome restart command from terminal?
[10:30] <ubushine> MistaED, yes, of course. i said it wasn't easy, but it sure is beautiful. eye candy
[10:30] <gnomefreak> that should be fine wd3 there are some packages that you wont get newest version of
[10:30] <dli> MistaED, xfce4 is not stable either
[10:30] <roxanne> ubushine, is there a not so live version?
[10:31] <MistaED> dli: very true
[10:31] <ubushine> MistaED, try elive, you'll be suprised how stable. especially enlightenment 16
[10:31] <wd3> gnomefreak, then that's when i have to dl new version huh?
[10:31] <gnomefreak> dli: im running xfce4.3 and its stable xfce4 should be stable (xfce4.3 is in testing)
[10:31] <gnomefreak> wd3: no you can upgrade to dapper in may-juneish
[10:32] <ubushine> roxanne, you can install from the live cd if you wish. but i wouldn't suggest it. it's still early beta, or alpha. not yet ready. but fun as hell to play with and look at.
[10:32] <roxanne> ubushine, I dont have a burner.
[10:32] <wd3> gnomefreak, apt get upgrade?
[10:32] <dli> gnomefreak, okay, now, you do, "sudo /etc/init.d/alsa stop", if you are running xfce 4.3
[10:32] <nige> brb
[10:32] <MistaED> kezzer: alright sudo apt-get remove kdm
[10:32] <gnomefreak> !upgrade
[10:32] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade.  Upgrading to dapper (remember it may break). Please test the dist-upgrader -> https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2006-January/014700.html.
[10:33] <gnomefreak> dli: why would i need to?
[10:33] <wd3> gnomefreak, to get dapper, apt get? or burn iso?
[10:33] <MistaED> kezzer: and a message asking to use gdm should pop up, if it doesn't then don't restart right away after removing kdm
[10:33] <h0nus> lol i just deleted my panel?
[10:33] <ubushine> roxanne, for 3 buck get it here: https://www.osdisc.com/cgi-bin/view.cgi/products/livecd/elive/lcd.html
[10:33] <dli> gnomefreak, to test whether 4.3 is stable for a small known bug
[10:33] <gnomefreak> wd3: you can do it one of many ways but i suggest you wait until its released
[10:33] <roxanne> i'll check it out.
[10:33] <dli> h0nus, in xfce?
[10:34] <ReWT_AxS> wd3
[10:34] <gnomefreak> dli: it has alot of bugs in it it has not yet been released
[10:34] <ReWT_AxS> what are you installing?
[10:34] <h0nus> ?
[10:34] <wd3> rewt_axs yes
[10:34] <alan|home> hi all
[10:34] <dli> gnomefreak, no, this bug has been there since 4.2
[10:34] <alan|home> can anyone help me ?  I am not able to configure my wifi connection...
[10:34] <gnomefreak> dli: did you file a bug report?
[10:34] <h0nus> dli, sorry i'm not familiar with xfce
[10:34] <dli> gnomefreak, xfce4-panel crashes, xffm go 99% cpu
[10:35] <ReWT_AxS> wd3, what are you installling?
[10:35] <Kezzer> MistaED, it says kdm isn't installed, heh
[10:35] <Kezzer> maybe it's not at all?
[10:35] <dli> gnomefreak, somebody else did, but I just checked, the bug is still there in 4.3.2
[10:35] <h0nus> i just added to my top panel and then tried to take what i added away
[10:35] <MistaED> kezzer: if you get greeted with a kubuntu login screen then kdm is there
[10:35] <alan|home> i use ndiswrapper, wlan0 is up, it has the correct static IP, the correct encryption key is given, and yet it doesn't work...
[10:35] <dli> gnomefreak, maybe, ubuntu patches it?
[10:35] <h0nus> but i right-clicked "delete panel" and the whole thing went away lol
[10:35] <alan|home> i'm on flight 5
[10:35] <wd3> rewt_axs oh i just installed conky last week and finally got it right, so now i'm installing gdesklet. eyecandy
[10:35] <h0nus> how do i get it back?
[10:35] <MistaED> kezzer: so it is a bit of a pickle you've got there to say the least, lol
[10:35] <Kezzer> Right, I think I've done it
[10:36] <gnomefreak> dli: could have been but launchpad should have been updated than
[10:36] <Kezzer> Can I just restart x to get into gdm if I've got rid of kdm?
[10:36] <ReWT_AxS> you getting the new gdesklets?
[10:36] <fgdf> i have problems with my screen resolution
[10:36] <fgdf> i cant change it
[10:36] <MistaED> kezzer: you can try a sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop (then start)
[10:36] <alan|home> fgdf: tell me. Too big for your screen, things are displayed out of the screen ?
[10:36] <gnomefreak> alan|home: for dapper talk please join #ubuntu+1
[10:36] <alan|home> gnomefreak: thanks
[10:36] <gnomefreak> yw
[10:37] <alan|home> gnomefreak: didn't know this chan

[10:37] <h0nus> ok can someone help me restore my panel? lol
[10:37] <h0nus> <<<n00b
[10:37] <h0nus> =)
[10:37] <wd3> rewt_axs well i dl it just now, and went to the archive to look for readme file, but not there, but gnomefreak suggstd i apt get it. I was concerned if i apt get will it install the new version, because i apt get conky and got old version.
[10:37] <dli> gnomefreak, can you test it for me? to stop alsa to see whether xfce4-panel crashes
[10:38] <Badm4n> Mem:    191968k total,   188288k used,     3680k free,    49508k buffers <-- how to make more free memory ?
[10:38] <MistaED> h0nus: if you have a terminal up, gnome-panel &
[10:38] <dli> h0nus, run command: gnome-control-center
[10:38] <gnomefreak> im not in xfce atm
[10:38] <h0nus> thanks!
[10:38] <ReWT_AxS> just install from terminal?
[10:38] <fgdf> but i have dapper
[10:38] <Chousuke> Badm4n: You don't need more free memory
[10:38] <fgdf>  doest matter?
[10:38] <ReWT_AxS> i didnt use apt-get
[10:38] <Badm4n> Chousuke: is ubuntu will do that 4 me ?
[10:38] <Chousuke> Badm4n: if some app requires more memory, the OS will free some from the cache.
[10:39] <wd3> rewt_axs ok what did u use?
[10:39] <Chousuke> Badm4n: Linux always uses all the RAM it can
[10:39] <MistaED> badm4n: it's called superior memory management :)
[10:39] <fgdf> gnomefreak : but i have dapper
[10:39] <Badm4n> is this good or bad ?

[10:39] <Chousuke> Badm4n: if apps don't need it, Linux caches stuff so you can access it faster.
[10:39] <ubotu> methinks pastebin is a site where you can post large texts and screenshots so you don't flood the channel. You can find it at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org - Install webboard for easy pasting from the gnome taskbar ,
[10:39] <ReWT_AxS> my terminal and the tar
[10:39] <gnomefreak> fgdf: it shouldnt change all that much and for dapper please join #ubuntu+1
[10:40] <wd3> rewt_axs tell me more :)
[10:40] <fgdf> ty
[10:40] <gnomefreak> Badm4n: please use pastebin for all your pasting needs
[10:40] <Badm4n> sorry
[10:40] <Kezzer> doh, ffs
[10:40] <Badm4n> btw is that good ?
[10:40] <Chousuke> Badm4n: I think you have too much free memory there. :D
[10:40] <Kezzer> I was reading a forum and I followed loads of commands and now I've made it even worse
[10:40] <Chousuke> maybe Linux just hasn't found use for it yet :/
[10:40] <Kezzer> I just did sudo dpkg-reconfigure -a && apt-get install gnome-desktop
[10:40] <Kezzer> and it did loads of stuff =(
[10:40] <Badm4n> Chousuke : :) ty
[10:41] <gnomefreak> pssssssst Kezzer please know what the command does before running it
[10:41] <ReWT_AxS> ermm 'tar -xjf gDesklets-0.35.3.tar.bz2'
[10:41] <JadussD> !w32codecs
[10:41] <ubotu> methinks w32codecs is a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install
[10:41] <Kezzer> I don't know what it did
[10:41] <Badm4n> Chousuke : can help me about console screensaver
[10:41] <Kezzer> Is there any way to undo what you've just done? =D
[10:41] <dli> Kezzer, while what you wanted is "dpkg --configure -a"
[10:41] <Chousuke> Badm4n: I don't know anything about console screensavers. Never needed one.
[10:42] <gnomefreak> Kezzer:ive never seen the command you ran
[10:42] <Kezzer> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=96048
[10:42] <Kezzer> It's in there
[10:42] <Chousuke>  It reconfigures all your packages.
[10:42] <wd3> rewt_axs what does _xjf?
[10:42] <Chousuke> it shouldn't break anythin
[10:42] <Kezzer> Chousuke, he's not talking about that command
[10:42] <ReWT_AxS> just do it lol
[10:43] <gnomefreak> Chousuke: i know what dli's command does
[10:43] <dli> Chousuke, it could, unless ubuntu made some improvement over debian
[10:43] <Chousuke> gnomefreak: I wasn't talking about it either.
[10:43] <dli> gnomefreak, it's a trap for n00bs, "dpkg-reconfigure -a" should be disabled or moved to another spelling
[10:44] <wd3> rewt_axs thanks how come when i apt get wine to run trillian it claimed it was installed but there was no icon in menu, so i uninstalled. when i apt get progs from repos and i suppose to terminal then load it?
[10:44] <dli> Chousuke, long ago, I did that in debian, I took me hours to get configs back
[10:44] <h0nus> when i ran sudo gnome-panel i get the response...
[10:44] <Chousuke> you don't want to run gnome-panel with sudo
[10:44] <dli> h0nus, don't run gnome-panel as root, run it as user
[10:44] <h0nus> o
[10:45] <h0nus> mkay
[10:45] <h0nus> <<<n00b =)
[10:45] <ReWT_AxS> i dunno, make your own launcher?
[10:45] <gnomefreak> Kezzer: install debfoster
[10:45] <syst3mlord> hi
[10:45] <Kezzer> No, this is getting worse and worse
[10:45] <Kezzer> I'm getting loads of recommendations and nothing is getting any better
[10:45] <wd3> rewt_axs meaning find the exec file in file manager, then add it to the panel?
[10:46] <h0nus> in user it says panel is already running... so how do i access it again? it doesn't appear on desktop
[10:46] <Kezzer> I'll just reinstall
[10:46] <dli> h0nus, why control-center doesn't help?
[10:46] <h0nus> haven't tried that yet... i'm new hehe
[10:46] <ReWT_AxS> yes
[10:47] <dli> Kezzer, you can find configs back :)
[10:47] <dli> Kezzer, no need to reinstall for "dpkg-reconfigure -a"
[10:47] <wd3> rewt_axs, what extension will all exec files have?
[10:47] <dli> Kezzer, howver, for a fresh system, reinstallation is easier and faster
[10:47] <Kezzer> Nah, it's just messed up
[10:47] <Kezzer> Yes, but the only problem with that is that I have no clue how to configure all the ATi stuff
[10:47] <Kezzer> I had a friend help me at the time
[10:47] <h0nus> dli, where do i go in control-center to reinstate the panel?
[10:47] <carbo> !thunderbird
[10:47] <ubotu> hmm... thunderbird is a FOSS email client, capable of close cooperation with Firefox, both by the Mozilla Foundation.  To make your thunderbird links open in firefox, see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=60427
[10:48] <dli> h0nus, I don't reall use gnome, but I can test it for you
[10:48] <h0nus> lol ty
[10:48] <h0nus> can you tell i'm used to windows?
[10:48] <h0nus> =)
[10:49] <neo911> hi where can i download win32codecs again? thx
[10:50] <liable> !w32codecs
[10:50] <ubotu> I heard w32codecs is a compilation of binary win32 A/V codecs for many popular proprietary formats not currently supported by free implementations under linux. See http://tinyurl.com/e4a5s to install
[10:51] <wd3> rewt_axs, for eg. b4 if switched to xfce i used evolution, it was good, but i used thunderbird in windows and wanted to keep saving in thunderbird extension so i can view linux .eml in windows
[10:51] <aula1__> buen dia
[10:51] <aula1_> hola eugenio
[10:52] <carl> Hey, I just installed Linux, now my sat broadband connection has slowed down.....is this because of Mozilla?
[10:52] <aula1__> yuju
[10:52] <wd3> rewt_axs however thunderbird wouldn't upgrade so i dl new version tar and got frustrated, so i unstalled it. now i'm using 1.0 sucks
[10:52] <aula1_> eugenio tenemos que aprender las NNTT de chat
[10:52] <dli> h0nus, the easiest is to delete your ~/.gnome2

[10:53] <aula1__> hola antonio
[10:53] <h0nus> what's the command to delete ~/.gnome2?
[10:53] <neo911> thx liable
[10:53] <xsquared> h0nus, rm

[10:53] <Chousuke> h0nus: rm -r ~/.gnome2

[10:53] <ubotu> Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, neo911
[10:53] <gnomefreak> oops

[10:53] <ubotu> Hispanohablantes: Por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[10:54] <ubushine> Chousuke, rm -rf ./gnome2 it's a directory
[10:54] <aula1_> ser hispanoescribientes, np?
[10:54] <Chousuke> ubushine: -f shouldn't be needed
[10:54] <Chousuke> ubushine: -r will do.
[10:54] <gnomefreak> aula1_: please /join #ubuntu-es for spanish
[10:55] <dli> gnomefreak, can somebody write a tool to auto translate for the channel?
[10:55] <ubushine> Chousuke, stand corrected. habit from another time, i guess.
[10:55] <gnomefreak> dli: to mix languages in here?
[10:55] <neo911> !pan signature file
[10:55] <ubotu> What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, neo911
[10:55] <Chousuke> ubushine: yeah. :P
[10:55] <neo911> !pan
[10:55] <ubotu> Syntax error in line 1. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, neo911
[10:55] <dli> gnomefreak, no, everybody sees all message in the language of his own
[10:56] <Chousuke> dli: that would be weird.
[10:56] <Chousuke> dli: and would require clientside scripts.
[10:56] <Chousuke> dli: and everything would be mistranslated anyway
[10:56] <gnomefreak> dli: im sure it could be done but that is why we have different channels it would be too hard to write it and implement it
[10:56] <dli> Chousuke, since the topic is quite limited, the software can learn, and be quite accurate eventually
[10:56] <Chousuke> dli: Not really.
[10:57] <Chousuke> dli: machine translation is _difficult_
[10:57] <dli> Chousuke, like, "how do I mount my usb memory stick"? can be auto translated
[10:57] <dli> Chousuke, but if the topic is so limited here
[10:57] <Chousuke> I suppose.
[10:57] <Chousuke> But not everyone speaks correctly here
[10:58] <dli> Chousuke, then, people have to adjust the way they speak too
[10:58] <manicka> !automatix
[10:58] <ubotu> automatix is, like, totally, unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, but it's often best to read the documentation.
[10:58] <Chousuke> Maybe it'd work if the world was perfect. :P
[10:59] <Chousuke> but I think it's too unreliable.
[10:59] <gnomefreak> dli: i can pretty much say it will never happen
[10:59] <neo911> Chousuke, do you know how to create a signature file for use in installing pan? thx
[10:59] <Chousuke> neo911: No I don't
[10:59] <Chousuke> neo911: maybe someone else does, though.
[10:59] <gnomefreak> too many varibles that can get messed up between code and final translation
[11:00] <dli> gnomefreak, 20 years ago, people still think 32 bit with 4GB memory space would be enough for everything
[11:00] <gnomefreak> dli: it is for some people
[11:00] <Chousuke> dli: This is different. :P
[11:00] <h0nus> well i still don't see my top panel =(
[11:00] <Chousuke> dli: Maybe in 20 years we'll have the required technology.
[11:00] <Chousuke> but that's in 20 years.
[11:00] <dli> gnomefreak, don't even have to mention the 640KB design
[11:01] <dli> h0nus, logout/login?
[11:01] <h0nus> restarted computer
[11:01] <gnomefreak> dli: it would take a year just to write it in lets say 10 languages and than maybe anohter year to get it implemented but there are so many lanaguages out there so you can image how hard it would be (also would have to be tested before implemented)
[11:02] <dli> h0nus, do this, "logout gnome", Ctl Alt F1 to console, login, and remove your ~/.gnome2, and login to gnome again
[11:03] <dli> gnomefreak, new smart people are born everyday :)
[11:03] <Janno> !rpm
[11:03] <ubotu> rpm is, like, totally, the Redhat Package Management file. Very similar to Debians DEB files, but require alien to install. ask me about !alien
[11:03] <Janno> !alien
[11:03] <ubotu> alien is probably a program to convert RPMs to DEBs. Its use is discouraged, as it could create serious problems. Website: http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/
[11:04] <YukiCuss> Janno, please don't use these publicly.
[11:04] <YukiCuss> Just message ubotu with the keyword.
[11:04] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell Janno about msg the bot
[11:04] <Janno> aap ok
[11:04] <dli> Janno, if it's rpm only, not even source, bad luck
[11:05] <gnomefreak> Janno: using alien is just going to open holes in your system (never good to stray outside of the "good" parameters
[11:06] <Janno> krr  yes its rpm only but i need it its ati drivers
[11:06] <gnomefreak> Janno: what app did you want? never know we might have a deb for it
[11:06] <gnomefreak> Janno: no you dont
[11:06] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell Janno about ati
[11:06] <gnomefreak> Janno: in your pm has instructions for ati installation

[11:11] <manicka> !ubuntuforums
[11:11] <ubotu> Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, manicka

[11:12] <gnomefreak> manicka: instead of playing with the bot how bout asking your question
[11:12] <dli> kenas, on the sshd side, "sudo vi /etc/ssh/sshd_config"

[11:22] <gnomefreak> bimberi: i meant for the bot
[11:22] <kenas> so u can run a *.exe from another computer in your lan but you cannot modify it
[11:23] <bimberi> gnomefreak: oh, sorry :/
[11:23] <Blippe> gnomefreak, you set up xinerama in your xorg.conf.
[11:23] <gnomefreak> bimberi: alot of people ask about dual moniters and i could never remember if the bot knows it or not
[11:23] <Blippe> then, tell him!
[11:23] <gnomefreak> Blippe: i can barely keep up with one what would i do with 2 lol

[11:37] <mustard5> wab, use extended partitions?
[11:38] <wab> I see, I used up all my primaries
[11:38] <Zero_Day> http://googe.com/linux lol
[11:38] <mustard5> wab, If I recall correctly the limit is 4 'primary' partitions?  something like that
[11:38] <Zero_Day> jokin
[11:38] <kenas> i need to create a windows fake partition for wine
[11:38] <Zero_Day> if i could type i may help
[11:38] <Healot> something like google desktop search? i have no idea what google desktop search does :)
[11:39] <gnomefreak> Healot: it searches you fs
[11:39] <gnomefreak> your*
[11:39] <mustard5> kenas, does winecfg do that?
[11:40] <Zero_Day> ahh im not the only one with typos ty gnomefreak
[11:40] <Healot> eh... much like locate... i see
[11:40] <kenas> it suppose to do that
[11:40] <wab> mustard5, thx... now I just have to install AGAIN!!
[11:40] <gnomefreak> yw im really bad at typing
[11:40] <kenas> or at least choose the drives
[11:40] <mustard5> wab, :)
[11:40] <kenas> whener i choose a drive with wine it gives me error that says it is not accesible
[11:41] <mustard5> wab, when I first started using ubuntu I think I probably reinstalled about six times :)
[11:41] <cA1mAn> how to have 24bit sound-output?
[11:41] <bimberi> hackeron_: i've heard beagle and the deskbar-applet are a pretty good combination :)
[11:41] <mustard5> wab, you going to create a separate /home partition?
[11:42] <wab> mustard5, I'm trying to set up some laptop drives to have multiple linux distros on them, that's how I ran out of partitions
[11:42] <kenas> it says this "err:winecfg:apply_drive_changes   unable to define devicename of 'C:', targetpath of '/home/kenas/Desktop/C'
[11:42] <kenas> "
[11:42] <mustard5> wab, ah ok
[11:42] <wab> boot root root home swap
[11:42] <dli> kenas, better to select another folder for fake partition, not Desktop
[11:43] <wab> mustard5, home would be sharded across the 2 distros
[11:43] <Ashton> dli, did you get the h0nus panel problem fixed?
[11:43] <mustard5> cA1mAn, I'm not sure I understand what you mean
[11:44] <mustard5> wab, I wonder how effective that would be :)
[11:44] <mustard5> wab, wouldnt they have different configs?
[11:44] <h0nus_> Ashton, can you help me reinstate that top panel?
[11:44] <Healot> wine, i rather drink it than run it :)
[11:44] <cA1mAn> mustard5, i mean for example 24 bit output with amarok (look in preferences, you can set max. 16 bit)
[11:44] <Ashton> h0nus, yeah. probably. give me a few minutes
[11:44] <h0nus_> ty
[11:44] <graveson> what is the difference between libmp3lame.so and libmp3lame.so.0
[11:45] <Zero_Day> mustard he could make it a shared file, but you are right
[11:45] <wab> mustard5, it should work as long as UIDs and GIDs are the same in both distros
[11:45] <Ashton> btw. removing .gnome2 wouldn't have worked ;)
[11:45] <variant> h0nus_: right click the panel "add new panel" iirc
[11:45] <killerbud> can anbody please tell me how to register my irc nickname
[11:45] <mustard5> cA1mAn, ah ok..I didn't know that
[11:45] <mustard5> !register
[11:45] <ubotu> Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[11:45] <wab> graveson, .0
[11:45] <killerbud> thanks
[11:45] <kenas> still the same and i checked out the restrictions of write into this folder "err:winecfg:apply_drive_changes   unable to define devicename of 'C:', targetpath of '..//home/kenas'
[11:45] <kenas> "
[11:45] <h0nus_> variant, thank you... couldn't get that to work before
[11:45] <h0nus_> problem solved
[11:46] <Zero_Day> type /msg NickServ IDENTIFY <password>
[11:46] <variant> great
[11:46] <h0nus_> the n00b can now access his panel again rofl
[11:46] <variant> hehe
[11:46] <Mabus06> Can I type something into the terminal to open up gedit, but not tie up my terminal? As in, I could use it for other commands or close it without closing the gedit process spawned by it.
[11:46] <mustard5> graveson, you setting up Audacity for lame mp3 encoding?
[11:46] <Healot> graveson, the other might be a soft link and the actual file
[11:46] <YukiCuss> Mabus06, gedit &
[11:46] <graveson> wab , yes sorry
[11:46] <Healot> for versioning purposes
[11:46] <Mabus06> YukiCuss: ty
[11:46] <YukiCuss> Mabus06, if you don't want it to die, consider gedit & disown, too.
[11:46] <graveson> mustard : mp3 exporting is not working
[11:47] <YukiCuss> Sometimes a process opened with & will die ..
[11:47] <dli> Ashton, it should be easy, but difficult to help him
[11:47] <wab> graveson, I had to do it.. I couldn't resist
[11:47] <graveson> wab: no problem :)
[11:47] <Ashton> dli, panels are in gconf
[11:48] <dli> Ashton, great, I did "rm -rf ~/.gnome2" myself
[11:48] <h0nus_> ashton, the problem has been solved
[11:48] <Ashton> h0nus, i gathered :)
[11:48] <h0nus_> o_0
[11:48] <h0nus_> dli, ty for helping me
[11:49] <dli> Ashton, gconf ? what's the exact command?
[11:49] <Healot> deleting gnome settings :)
[11:49] <Healot> the hard way, or the easy way, which one i don't mind
[11:49] <sfar-ubu> does anybody know how to take a screenshot with the mouse cursor visible?
[11:50] <Healot> "gconf-editor" - gconf
[11:50] <xanax`> sfar-ubu : with byzanz ?
[11:50] <dli> Healot, thanks
[11:50] <Healot> sfar-ubu, on Gnome, or KDE?
[11:50] <sfar-ubu> Healot: gnome
[11:50] <sfar-ubu> xanax`: i dont know :)
[11:50] <sfar-ubu> ill check it out
[11:51] <Healot> "Print Screen" button might work, I think the screen capture applet has option to capture mouse cursor too?
[11:51] <sfar-ubu> Healot: no :(
[11:52] <Healot> can you do "Print Screen"? sfar-ubu ?
[11:52] <Healot> oh, screen capture applet doesnot have that option :-
[11:53] <Tomcat_> The applet uses gnome-screenshot and there's no option either.
[11:53] <Ashton> dli, great thing for me about a channel with so many people, like #ubuntu,  is that is I am very distracted, someone else always jumps in :D
[11:54] <dockane> hi all ... i ve got seriuos problems with a hard disk. (/home was recoverd successfully, no more recovery situtation) http://pastebin.com/619681 <-- dmesg when fs was mounted read only
[11:55] <dli> Ashton, what's the command to restore gnome-panel?
[11:55] <variant> anyone used the webilder gnome webshots application? its superb.. only version 0.2 though
[11:55] <veldorzvizzerd> hello everyone, wondering if anyone can help me out, I need to be able to run googletalk on ubuntu - do I need to get some program to let me be able to do so?
[11:56] <h0nus_> dli, "killall gnome-panel"
[11:56] <Healot> ask google for googletalk client on linux? veldorzvizzerd, Google for it, as they say
[11:56] <dli> dockane, bad sign, if the data is valuable, turn it down, don't do anything
[11:57] <h0nus_> is anyone familiar with amsn?
[11:57] <variant> veldorzvizzerd: there is not voice capabliity but you can use the google talk text chats
[11:57] <veldorzvizzerd> heh, true Healot, the thing is I can actually get to it through GAIM, but it GAIM doesn't support voice chat, which is what I need
[11:57] <veldorzvizzerd> is there any other IM service that supports voice chat on both linux/ubuntu and windows?
[11:57] <variant> veldorzvizzerd: there is no support for the libjingle protocall that they released yet
[11:58] <Healot> yeah... no voice support yet
[11:58] <variant> veldorzvizzerd: yes, anything with SIP support
[11:58] <variant> veldorzvizzerd: there are a few programs for that
[11:58] <Healot> tried amsn and gaim-vv, veldorzvizzerd ?
[11:58] <veldorzvizzerd> not yet, will do Healot, thanks
[11:58] <dli> Healot, what about kopete?
[11:58] <veldorzvizzerd> and thanks to you too variant
[11:58] <Healot> i'm on GNOME :(
[11:59] <variant> veldorzvizzerd: check ekiga which will connect to any sip complient program
[11:59] <dockane> dli: as is mentioned, everything valuable was recoverd (by testdisk). a reboot ends ub with "Grub loading, please wait.. Error 2" <- this happened 2 days before with my breezy installation,too. now i gave dapper a try and the same
[11:59] <veldorzvizzerd> ekiga - will look it up, cheers
[11:59] <variant> veldorzvizzerd: and openwengo
[11:59] <dli> variant, I couldn't get NAT with ekiga
[11:59] <Healot> kopete can do voice?
[11:59] <veldorzvizzerd> yep
[11:59] <variant> veldorzvizzerd: openwengo runs on win/ubuntu/mac too
[11:59] <dli> dockane, it's a hardware issue, buy a new disk
[12:00] <veldorzvizzerd> ah, i c, googling it now
[12:00] <h0nus_> anyone familiar with amsn or teamspeak?
[12:00] <Healot> not a chat person myself... you guys seem to know more chat clients :)
[12:01] <h0nus_> well from what i gather amsn is a linux patch for msn
[12:01] <h0nus_> and teamspeak is a program I use on windows
[12:01] <dli> Healot, skype is good, but it's blocked in China
[12:01] <shame_> Hi. Can anyone help newbie with some stupid problems?
[12:01] <h0nus_> teamspeak is similar to skype
[12:01] <Healot> china isn't my country "_"
[12:01] <dli> shame_, just ask
[12:01] <h0nus_> not the same though
[12:01] <bimberi> shame_: ask away, we'll try
[12:01] <msid> is there any decent gui piece of software that can do video capture and editing?
[12:02] <dli> h0nus_, I will check it, it's free?
[12:02] <h0nus_> yes
[12:02] <smee56> why is ubuntu better than windows
[12:02] <kingspwned> smee56, its free
[12:02] <Healot> anyway I subscribed to some VoIP service, yet no one to actually call :)
[12:02] <dli> h0nus_, the same thing, binary only
[12:02] <h0nus_> smee56, that's what i'm here to find out
[12:02] <shame_> dli I've compiled and installed mplayer but cannot see any films. Codecs are OK
[12:02] <dli> smee56, consider, no virus, no spyware
[12:02] <Healot> smee56, it is not... but it's free :)
[12:02] <veldorzvizzerd> variant, openwengo has two linux packages,  a DEB package and a RPM package, which one would work better on Ubuntu 5.10 Breezy Badger>
[12:02] <veldorzvizzerd> ?*
[12:02] <Healot> as in freedom and cash term :_)
[12:03] <dli> shame_, be more specific
[12:03] <kingspwned> Healot, you dont think its better?
[12:03] <anstei> veldorzvizzerd, DEB is the native format for ubuntu
[12:03] <smee56> can you install of an ubuntu live cd?
[12:03] <Healot> both, veldorzvizzerd, but rpm requires "alien"
[12:03] <killerbud> i finnaly got my nick registered lol
[12:03] <veldorzvizzerd> alien, what is alien?
[12:03] <YukiCuss> !alien
[12:03] <ubotu> methinks alien is a program to convert RPMs to DEBs. Its use is discouraged, as it could create serious problems. Website: http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/
[12:03] <veldorzvizzerd> like, whats it used for?
[12:03] <Healot> kingspawn, better in what way? better for my pocket, and fast setup, IMHO
[12:03] <YukiCuss> veldorzvizzerd, ^^
[12:03] <dli> Healot, I will wait to test ekiga and kopete and gaim (with -vv)
[12:04] <graveson> besides top how can i view system performance,in top my memory is always 100% used ?
[12:04] <dli> graveson, for memory? "free -m"
[12:04] <YukiCuss> graveson, probably indicates that your memory is always used 100%.
[12:04] <kingspwned> Healot, i guess i measure every such question in a "is the linux operating system better than windows"-way. might be wrong at times.. :)
[12:04] <veldorzvizzerd> thanks everyone, cyaz later
[12:04] <Healot> yeah
[12:04] <shame_> dli, I've downloaded sources of MPC, I'm using Ubuntu 5.04. When I start 'mplayer movie.avi' I see it using null videout device.
[12:04] <YukiCuss> veldorzvizzerd, see you.
[12:05] <dli> shame_,  mplayer -vo help
[12:05] <Healot> too subjective, everyone has their own answers, kingrayray
[12:05] <Healot> too subjective, everyone has their own answers, kingspawn
[12:05] <Healot> kingspwned, damn, tab completion
[12:05] <h0nus_> http://www.goteamspeak.com/index.php?page=downloads
[12:05] <kingspwned> hehe
[12:05] <kingspwned> Healot, kingspawn is me at home, so you're just about right
[12:06] <kingspwned> Healot, of course. if gaming is your thing, windows is clearly better and easier, etc.
[12:06] <Guard] [an> hello, do i have to recompile the kernel to have additionnal charsets ??? i need windows cp1252
[12:06] <dli> h0nus_, I don't know whether teamspeak will be blocked in China :(
[12:06] <shame_> dli, tried... it shows me errors with '-vo vesa' '-vo cvidix' 'yuv4mpeg' ... what else can I try?
[12:06] <dli> Guard] [an, in filesystems, NLS
[12:07] <Guard] [an> dli: could you develop please ?
[12:07] <h0nus_> don't think so
[12:07] <h0nus_> it's designed for gamers
[12:07] <h0nus_> all around the work
[12:07] <h0nus_> *world
[12:07] <Healot> Guard] [an, fot the latest kernel... windows cp1252 is included
[12:07] <Healot> or it is not wait
[12:07] <Guard] [an> dli: i need to make eclipse/cdt use cp1252
[12:07] <dli> shame_, you didnt build it correct, read about xv in mplayer docs
[12:07] <shame_> OK... thank you.
[12:07] <Guard] [an> and the dialog box simply offers UTF-8
[12:07] <formless> good day, good people of the room....
[12:07] <Guard] [an> US-ASCII and two others
[12:07] <kingspwned> formless, greetings
[12:08] <msid> is there any decent gui piece of software that can do video capture and editing?
[12:08] <Guard] [an> there is no windows cp1252 nor ISO8859-1 or ISO8859-15
[12:08] <h0nus_> dli, if i'm going to download the client from that site, do i want to save it to disk or open it with Archive Manager?
[12:08] <Healot> oh cp1251
[12:08] <dli> Guard] [an, enable some locales? I don't know, I use utf-8 and don't use jeclipse
[12:08] <sfar-ubu> i cant download libpanel-applet2-dev with synaptic, because it says libgnomeui-dev is unresovable.. how to fix?
[12:08] <dli> h0nus_, they should have instructions for ubuntu
[12:08] <Guard] [an> hmm ok
[12:09] <sfar-ubu> there should be nothing wrong with my sources.list
[12:09] <Healot> nls_iso8859-15.ko >> nls_iso8859-15 does included in 2.6.16
[12:09] <cA1mAn> where can i get the best, up-to-date ATI (radeon) drivers?
[12:09] <formless> i have a question: - is there an easy way to strip unseen chars down to just alnum's, only I seem to be having a bit of a mare with it  (scripting: bash - but a bit noob & trying to get my head round it all)
[12:09] <Healot> nls_iso8859-1.ko >> nls_iso8859-1 is in it too
[12:09] <graveson> does banshee work well on ubuntu with an IPOD connected
[12:09] <formless> ps: hi kingspwned
[12:10] <formless> ;)
[12:10] <kingspwned> heh
[12:10] <sfar-ubu> i _really_ need libpanel-applet2-dev :)
[12:10] <formless> kingspwned, you script?
[12:10] <Healot> i'm using the latest 2.6 kernel... pretty easy to make with debian's "make-kpkg"
[12:11] <Healot> cA1mAn, at ati.com
[12:11] <cA1mAn> for ubuntu?
[12:11] <Healot> it includes installer too...
[12:11] <cA1mAn> and these are good :-) ?
[12:11] <Healot> for all Linux distroes
[12:11] <cA1mAn> ok then
[12:11] <dli> Healot, I am confused by the V patch at kernel.org
[12:11] <formless> hello?
[12:12] <Healot> fyi... buggy, but answered your "up-to-date" request
[12:12] <bimberi> !tell cA1mAn about ati
[12:12] <Healot> v patches...
[12:12] <dli> Healot, say, patch-2.6.16.bz2 is a patch to get 2.6.16, but from which version?
[12:12] <Healot> hmm
[12:12] <variant> how can i switch the display language without logging in and out again?
[12:12] <cA1mAn> bimberi, thanks!
[12:12] <formless> am i visible here?
[12:12] <dli> variant, export LANG=
[12:12] <ubushine> graveson, i've used yamipod and gktpod for ipod stuff, never banshee
[12:12] <formless> anyone?
[12:12] <Healot> that's for the previous version kernel... 2.6.15
[12:13] <kingspwned> formless, yeah, but regexing is not my strongest side. plenty good bash tutorials on the web, tho
[12:13] <bimberi> cA1mAn: np :)
[12:13] <Healot> if you have the previous 2.6.15
[12:13] <dli> Healot, from <IP_ADDRESS>, the previous version, I tried, couldn't apply
[12:13] <cA1mAn> anither question: for pentium4, the 686-kernel is the best?
[12:13] <kingspwned> formless, query me, and i'll try to help out with the script if i can
[12:13] <variant> dli: will that change the gnome interface lang?
[12:13] <Healot> dli, try to download the tar.gz file first
[12:14] <formless> kingspwned, ok - just that things dont seem to be working as they say they should - i';ll have another go & get back in a bit....
[12:14] <dli> Healot, which .tar.gz ?
[12:14] <cA1mAn> generally, does it optimize performance/stability to recompile my kernel?
[12:14] <formless> kingspwned, ok if I pvt you?
[12:14] <Healot> "linux-2.6.16.tar.gz" - stable release of 2.6.16
[12:14] <kingspwned> formless, sure
[12:14] <dli> variant, if you want the whole system changes, better to logout/login
[12:14] <kenas> how can i find a folder ?
[12:15] <dli> Healot, I'm on dialup :( got to apply a patch
[12:15] <Healot> i just compiled mine... but remember to remove "splash" option in menu.lst...
[12:15] <Healot> that option is avail for ubuntu's kernel only
[12:15] <dli> Healot, eventually, I make my own patch to patch <IP_ADDRESS> to 2.6.16, about 5MB
[12:15] <Healot> i'm on dialup too... GPRS... though
[12:16] <dli> kenas, try "locate foo", or, find /usr -type d -name "foo*"
[12:16] <formless> kingspwned, hang on - having a bit of a realisation... ;/
[12:16] <Healot> yeah 5meg... but I am not sure that 2.6.16 patch is for 2.6.15.x....
[12:16] <kingspwned> formless, grand!
[12:17] <dli> Healot, I couldnt find out an explaination at kernel.org, weird enough
[12:17] <bimberi> cA1mAn: yes (to 686 - a marginal performance gain as i understand it).  if possible it's best to stay with ubuntu kernels because you'll continue to get security patches
[12:17] <dli> Healot, the VI patch is clean, they have both versions in name
[12:17] <graveson> ubushine: how can i install yamipod
[12:17] <h0nus_> ok this is gonna be a ridiculously simple question but it's my first day... once i've downloaded a tar.gz or tar.bz2 to /tmp what is the proper way to install it?
[12:18] <ubushine> graveson, download it from the website?
[12:18] <dli> h0nus_, read the instructions
[12:18] <Healot> neither do I... thus I dl the latest kernel instead
[12:18] <ubushine> graveson, http://www.yamipod.com/main/modules/downloads/
[12:18] <h0nus_> dli, can you direct me? i didn't see installation instructions on the site
[12:18] <graveson> ubushine: no debian package - normally simpler
[12:18] <graveson> ubushine : ok thanks
[12:19] <ubushine> graveson, just download it, there's no installation
[12:19] <bimberi> h0nus_: tell us what it is (just in case there's a better way to install)
[12:19] <dli> Healot, it's 3KB/s, for 40MB of kernel source, you do the math :(
[12:19] <Healot> you have this file "linux-2.6.15.tar.gz" right?
[12:19] <h0nus_> teamspeak 2 client
[12:19] <Healot> that's more than 2 hours
[12:20] <dli> Healot, I have a folder already, /usr/src/linux-<IP_ADDRESS>
[12:20] <bimberi> h0nus_: kk (don't see that one in ubuntu's repositories)
[12:20] <dli> Healot, and I downloaded the patch, patch-2.6.16.bz2 , doesn't apply
[12:20] <Healot> and "patch-2.6.16.bz2", the patch file right
[12:20] <h0nus_> bimberi, no you probably won't-- it's a chat client for gamers
[12:20] <Healot> what did you do to patch it, commands you typed?
[12:21] <dli> Healot, eventually, I use a remote computer with fast pipe, downloaded, linux-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.bz2 and linux-2.6.16.tar.bz2, and untar them, and make a patch from them, the patch works
[12:21] <kenas> /home/kenas/.wine
[12:21] <kenas>  <------ how can i access this folder ??
[12:22] <bimberi> h0nus_: you unpack a .tar.gz with 'tar xvzf <file>', a .tar.bz2 with 'tar xvjf <file>' - then look for install instructions in a file called README or INSTALL
[12:22] <kingspwned> kenas: cd /home/kenas/.wine
[12:22] <dli> Healot, in kernel folder, bzcat /usr/src/patch-2.6.16.bz2 |patch -p1
[12:22] <h0nus_> thank you very much!
[12:22] <kenas> .wine does exist
[12:22] <C-O-L-T> how to add other dictionaries (languages) to dictionary applet
[12:22] <Healot> on the src folder right dli ?
[12:23] <dli> Healot, yes, the kernel source folder
[12:23] <graveson> how can i remove the hissing sound from a recording in audacity
[12:23] <dli> Healot, some hunks don't apply
[12:23] <Healot> not all patched eh?
[12:23] <Healot> but you successfully at some remote machine?
[12:25] <Healot> vi patch. the view incremental patch huh...
[12:25] <h0nus_> geez... why when i try to cd in terminal does it say the extension is not there?
[12:25] <dli> Healot, on the remote machine, I downloaded both kernel source trees, and made a patch out of them, that patch applied on my <IP_ADDRESS> tree, "make-kpkg clean", "make oldconfig", "make-kpkg kernel-image" gave me 2.6.16
[12:25] <h0nus_> i know it's there =\
[12:26] <Healot> you dl'ed the vi patch, not the v patch?
[12:26] <dirk_> hello
[12:26] <dli> Healot, no, the vi patch if to patch from 2.6.16-rc6
[12:26] <bimberi> h0nus_: use 'ls' to check what files are in the directory you're currently in
[12:27] <Healot> but doesnt patch well in your machine? dli
[12:27] <dli> Healot, it's not the machine :(
[12:28] <dli> Healot, I will test again on the machine with fast pipe
[12:28] <h0nus_> bimberi, my syntax was wrong
[12:28] <bimberi> h0nus_: kk
[12:29] <Healot> mmkay
[12:29] <dli> Healot, it runs reiser4, quite fast with kernel source
[12:29] <h0nus_> bimberi, how do I "start up" a file with a .sh extension?
[12:29] <h0nus_> (this is verbatum from a readme)
[12:29] <Kezzer> I can't get xserver to start, I've just installed Ubuntu and I have an ATi card
[12:29] <Kezzer> I've followed the binary how to on the wiki but it still hasn't worked
[12:29] <bimberi> h0nus_: sh file.sh
[12:29] <smee56> can you install ubuntu as an opperating system of a live cd
[12:30] <dade> can anyone help me with my ethernet please?
[12:30] <h0nus_> bimberi, thanks again
[12:31] <dade> ...
[12:31] <cavediver> Hi. Is there a graphical administration application for managing LVM2 volumes ?
[12:32] <bimberi> dade: ask a more detailed question and if someone knows they'll try to help
[12:32] <dli> cafuego, can you tell me which kernel source the V patch patch-2.6.16.bz2 should be applied on to make 2.6.16 source? (from kernel.org)
[12:33] <ReWT_AxS> how can i do a search to see if somone put a backdoor into my computer?
[12:33] <h0nus_> bimberi, one more question
[12:33] <dli> ReWT_AxS, rkhunter, chkrootkit
[12:33] <dade> ok when i ifconfig eth0 it seems only ipv6 is enabled and dhcp on my lan doesn't work
[12:33] <ReWT_AxS> those programs?
[12:33] <bimberi> smee56: i believe you can install from the breezy live CD, it's the 'live-expert' boot option (or something like that) use the Function keys at the boot prompt to explore the options
[12:33] <dade> so i can get connected to the internet with my laptop
[12:33] <k31th> ReWT_AxS: you can try using tiger
[12:34] <ReWT_AxS> how?
[12:34] <k31th> install it and running also use chkrootkit
[12:34] <dli> ReWT_AxS, yes, install them, and run, however, if it's rooted already, you couldn't trust those tools either
[12:34] <k31th> and run it*
[12:34] <Abnix> could someone do me a favor please? I'm using a new ISP and can't seem to nmap myself, so could someone please do sso (nmap <IP_ADDRESS>) and pm me the details?
[12:34] <k31th> ReWT_AxS: apt-cache search 'package name'
[12:35] <bimberi> h0nus_: sure, feel free to just ask the channel, if i know i'll answer :)
[12:35] <dli> Abnix, no opoen port found
[12:35] <ReWT_AxS> rewt@ubuntu:~$ sudo apt-cache search chkrootkit
[12:35] <ReWT_AxS> chkrootkit - Checks for signs of rootkits on the local system
[12:35] <ReWT_AxS> rkhunter - rootkit, backdoor, sniffer and exploit scanner
[12:35] <ReWT_AxS> how do i use either of them
[12:35] <Abnix> dli: thanks
[12:35] <Abnix> and, damnit....
[12:36] <Abnix> no web and email hosting for me...
[12:36] <h0nus_> now that I have installed the program correctly, i find a .sh file that runs the desired program
[12:36] <ReWT_AxS> dli
[12:36] <dade> anyone? link ok, driver ok, only ipV6 loaded (ifconfig), network unreachable: how do i solve?
[12:36] <h0nus_> is there any way to link this with the provided icon and put it on my gnome desktop?
[12:36] <dli> Abnix, open ssh, let me see whether I can connect to the port
[12:36] <ReWT_AxS> how do i get those aps?
[12:37] <ReWT_AxS> i foundthem in the cache search

[12:52] <rewt> no configuration, internet site, internet with smarthost, satellite system, local only
[12:52] <rewt> what should i choose?
[12:52] <Xenguy> rewt: and now Ubu is configuring postfix for you
[12:53] <rewt> whatcshould i choose?
[12:53] <Xenguy> rewt: it depends on what your email setup is...
[12:53] <rewt> i use gmail
[12:53] <Xenguy> rewt: then maybe you just want 'no configuration', or 'local only' for now...
[12:54] <Xenguy> rewt: you can always adjust config later with 'dpkg-reconfigure postfix'
[12:54] <rewt> okay

[01:26] <cilkay> Fracture: no
[01:26] <cilkay> variant: yes, but it's lame.
[01:26] <kingspwned> ReWT_AxS, should be
[01:26] <john__> hey
[01:26] <variant> cilkay: i would rather stick to Free software (libre)
[01:26] <ReWT_AxS> how can i use my settings in this user name in the new username?
[01:26] <Fracture> variant: yet you run windows ;)
[01:26] <lisi> planB - thanks, I'll check it out
[01:26] <variant> Fracture: my employer runs windows.. im just forced to use it
[01:27] <variant> im not going to use non free software without being forced too..
[01:27] <Fracture> variant: then, use the free freeNX client on windows.. and when you use a linux desktop, use the linux free client
[01:28] <variant> im quite happy with vnc att this time.. its a very fast gigabyte network.. so can anyone tell me how to connect it?
[01:28] <cilkay> variant: that's cutting off your nose to spite your face. NoMachine.com, the creators of the NX technology, are huge supporters of free software. They have significant IP in the client so they don't release the source. I don't have a problem with that. It works very well.
[01:28] <variant> i guess i have to start a vncserver
[01:28] <DarthShrine> Odd...Installed the libgtk2.0-dev package, and when trying to compile an app I made I get "gcc:  -lgtk-x11-2.0: No such file or directory"
[01:28] <cilkay> variant: run it over an ssh tunnel.
[01:28] <variant> IP? if you say intelectual property i will just laugh in your face (no offence though)
[01:29] <variant> cilkay: its a trusted network
[01:29] <Juhaz> variant, preferences->remote desktop
[01:30] <suppaman> hi
[01:30] <suppaman> I've installed a plain ubuntu, now I've installed xubuntu-desktop, is there a way I can uninstall gnome ?
[01:31] <variant> Juhaz: thanks, but im logged in to the ubuntu machine with ssh
[01:32] <C-O-L-T> how to delete printer jobs??? Where to find that menu?
[01:32] <variant> cilkay: part of the reason i want to do this graphically is that i plan to give xgl a try.. cant test that with ssh
[01:32] <natasa> Niko?
[01:32] <cilkay> variant: yeah, whatever
[01:32] <Fracture> variant: good luck testing xgl over a remote connection
[01:32] <bimberi> C-O-L-T: system -> administration -> printing
[01:33] <Fracture> variant: you should download a live cd that has it already setup if you want to see it work
[01:33] <variant> Fracture: just to install it and see that it will actualy work
[01:33] <C-O-L-T> bimberi: yeah I know but where to get the jobs there
[01:33] <Fracture> variant: sounds like more pain than its worth ;)
[01:33] <Fracture> variant: it works.. but you have to work to make it work
[01:34] <bimberi> C-O-L-T: double-click on the printer
[01:34] <ReWT_AxS> how can i delete one user, but put it's settings as another uers
[01:34] <ReWT_AxS> ?
[01:34] <ReWT_AxS> user*
[01:34] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: rename the user?
[01:34] <variant> Fracture: im at work, not very busy, plenty of time to spare
[01:34] <ReWT_AxS> how
[01:34] <funkyHat> I need to run xmodmap before metacity starts, how do I do it?
[01:34] <C-O-L-T> bimberi: I get there Queue name, type, options
[01:35] <Fracture> variant: don't let your boss hear you say that
[01:35] <variant> hehe
[01:35] <ReWT_AxS> seems as if the username is permanent
[01:35] <suppaman> >variant< Fracture: just to install it and see that it will actualy work
[01:35] <suppaman> it won't :-)
[01:35] <Fracture> suppaman: ?
[01:35] <Juhaz> vncserver is a separate X server, you can't use it with xgl
[01:35] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: well, not for the newbie but use "vipw" to edit the /etc/passwd file and rename the user.  don't forget their groups too with "vigr"
[01:35] <cilkay> permanent username, hmm. Burned into the disk huh?
[01:36] <variant> Juhaz: ah, i see
[01:36] <Fracture> Juhaz: that makes sense
[01:36] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: I don't think there's a gnome gui for doing that
[01:36] <variant> Juhaz: so perhaps freenx is the only way to use it
[01:36] <Juhaz> the gnome vnc server (vino) might work
[01:37] <Juhaz> or might not
[01:37] <bimberi> C-O-L-T: hm, that's different to me, i get a window with a list of jobs and the option to pause/cancel etc.
[01:37] <cilkay> xgl is what, eye candy? Gamer crap? If so, I doubt NX is going to be useful for that.
[01:37] <C-O-L-T> bimberi: I have gnome 2.14
[01:37] <`mrz> Good afternoon
[01:38] <Fracture> variant: if you want to see xgl in action, download a video of it ;)
[01:38] <`mrz> I'd like to have automaticly mounted some nfs locations at start-up. /etc/fstab is being read before the network configuration, so it's kinda useless. is there a better way?
[01:38] <bimberi> C-O-L-T: hmmk, i have 2.13.92 (unupdated flight5)
[01:38] <variant> Fracture: i did, thats why i want to try it :P
[01:38] <C-O-L-T> bimberi: The fact is that I use fedora 5
[01:38] <Juhaz> freenx is in essence also a separate X server (on the client end) + bunch of compression stuff for the protocol, so no luck there either
[01:39] <bimberi> C-O-L-T: ...
[01:39] <Gabbe> I have xgl installed and its only eye-candy.
[01:39] <variant> Juhaz: anyway.. with vnc you can connect to an existing xserver.. so if that was an xgl server would it not work?
[01:39] <ReWT_AxS> how do i save in vipw?
[01:40] <C-O-L-T> bimberi: and can not find printer jobs. I installed fedora yesterday. I used ubuntu for long, just I was curious
[01:40] <Fracture> anyone here recommend a portable media player that plays ogg ?
[01:40] <bertos> hi there, can anybody tell me if there is a pyhon-soya package in ubuntu repositories??
[01:40] <ReWT_AxS> wongy, how do i get out of vipw and save it?
[01:40] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: which editor?  nano?  you can just exit and it will prompt to save, just take the default.  after that use "vipw -s" to edit the shadow passwd file too
[01:41] <bertos> i looked for it but can't find.. checket at ftp.belnet.be.. no results:/
[01:41] <jadaz87> hello does anyone know of a Mini Disc music manager for linux?
[01:41] <jadaz87> Mini Disc Player*
[01:41] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: same drill for groups, "vigr" and "vigr -s"
[01:42] <ReWT_AxS> wongy, rewt@ubuntu:~$ sudo vipw -s
[01:42] <ReWT_AxS> Password:
[01:42] <ReWT_AxS> sudo: pam_authenticate: Authentication service cannot retrieve authentication info.
[01:42] <kenas> how can i update my wine ?
[01:43] <C-O-L-T> bimberi: any opinion where to get printer jobs?
[01:43] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: um, you didn't change the user that you are logged in as did you?
[01:43] <bertos> kenas, run synaptic, find wine package and checkt for update
[01:44] <ReWT_AxS> wongy, yes
[01:44] <bimberi> C-O-L-T: http://localhost:631  perhaps
[01:44] <bimberi> !tell kenas about wine
[01:44] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: do you have the root password set?  if so use "su -" to log in as root and do what you need to do
[01:45] <ReWT_AxS> no i dont
[01:45] <nikko> hi... problems with my sound.... I have copied my lspci -v ind http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10715 and my amixer '-c0' in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10716... plz someone look at it..
[01:45] <ReWT_AxS> wait i just back up my steps
[01:45] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: oh...that may be bad...let me think a second
[01:45] <C-O-L-T> bimberi: it is cool but I can not delete jobs over here does not let's me
[01:46] <ReWT_AxS> wongy, nah i just fixed it lol
[01:46] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: oh good, what;d you do?
[01:46] <ReWT_AxS> so now logout of this one im changing to another admin account?
[01:46] <bimberi> C-O-L-T: ok, i don't know then sorry
[01:46] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: BTW set the root password with "sudo passwd" then you have that available to save yourself :-)
[01:46] <blue> jooosss
[01:46] <ReWT_AxS> Wongy, i still had the users open so i just hit okay and the window closed, i guess rewrote everything then noi can use sudo again
[01:46] <C-O-L-T> bimberi: no problem
[01:47] <ReWT_AxS> well i have 1 more user with the same amount of privelages as me
[01:47] <ReWT_AxS> if i rename the account will it's settings be lost?
[01:47] <Fracture> what's a good tv tuner program for gnome/ubuntu ?
[01:47] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: you'll have to rename the home directory too.  on the disk and in /etc/passwd with vipw
[01:48] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: this is a little bit of open heart surgery :-)  set the root passwd now!
[01:48] <kenas> i have repositories problems and i dont know how to update my wine
[01:48] <bimberi> Fracture: tvtime is one
[01:48] <kenas> can anyone help me ?
[01:48] <aanarchy> anyone here with a Vaio labtop?
[01:48] <ReWT_AxS> wongy i have another user with same privelages?
[01:48] <Fracture> bimberi: taa
[01:49] <aanarchy> anyone here with a Vaio labtop? /msg me
[01:49] <ReWT_AxS> k
[01:49] <ReWT_AxS> i set the root pw
[01:49] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: you also have to update the sudoers file with "visudo".  you could use the other user but I still strongly recomend setting the root password as the ultimate backout
[01:49] <bimberi> Fracture: np :)   btw the iRiver plays ogg, i haven't used one so can recommend it though
[01:49] <Fracture> bimberi: thanks again
[01:49] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: cool
[01:49] <bimberi> Fracture: *can't recommend*
[01:50] <ReWT_AxS> wongy will i lose this users settings if i change the username?
[01:50] <natasa> hi... problems with my sound.... I have copied my lspci -v ind http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10715 and my amixer '-c0' in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10716... plz someone look at it..
[01:50] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: no, just rename the user's home directory from /home/oldname to /home/newname
[01:50] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: don't forget to do it in /etc/passwd too
[01:51] <ReWT_AxS> wongy so get off this user
[01:51] <ReWT_AxS> get on another
[01:51] <ReWT_AxS> then do all this to the use i logged out of
[01:51] <ReWT_AxS> ?
[01:51] <chmod775> Is there a irc over http
[01:51] <chmod775> I mean over the web browser
[01:51] <chmod775> ?
[01:52] <ReWT_AxS> how do i use vipw
[01:52] <chmod775> !irc
[01:52] <ubotu> somebody said irc was info on irc at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Relay_Chat, or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InternetRelayChat
[01:52] <wongy> ReWT_AxS: yep, log in as another user with full sudo access.

[02:03] <MrPockets> aight, now say i have a eMule folder here, how do i install her?
[02:04] <ludwikc> soundray: no, should I? :> from apt-get or how ?
[02:04] <kingspwned> MrPockets, depends entirely on what is inside your folder. eMule is probably in the repositories
[02:04] <nikko> Hi... I have a strange problem... My xmms play soundfiles, but I can not here anything from the speakers.... I copy my lspci -v in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10715 and amixer '-c0' in http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10716..... someone plz...
[02:04] <m0r0n> aMule
[02:04] <MrPockets> eMule
[02:04] <MrPockets> aMule
[02:04] <kingspwned> aMule, ok
[02:05] <Blissex> nikko: thats pretty common, and there can be very many causes. Follow the troubleshooting steps in http://tinyurl.com/4ogk2
[02:05] <MrPockets> it is, but when i do an apt-get download it loads the old version
[02:05] <rewt_axs> what do i need to get sound on my system
[02:06] <MrPockets> im trying to upgrade
[02:06] <rewt_axs> said something about i might now have the right gstreamer?
[02:06] <rewt_axs> *not
[02:10] <rewt_axs> how do i get sound?
[02:11] <variant> how do you set up universe and multiverse on the command line? the docs are for using the grphical tools
[02:12] <nickrud> variant, the simplest method is to use the source-o-matic
[02:12] <nickrud> !easysource
[02:12] <ubotu> For an easy to use custom sources.list creator, visit http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[02:12] <rewt_axs> whats the command to reconfigure sound?
[02:12] <rewt_axs> sudo dpkg-reconfigure...?
[02:12] <eggzeck> yeah variant, then  you edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:13] <variant> thanks guys
[02:13] <nickrud> variant, if you want to keep the standard sources, uncomment lines 19 & 20 in /etc/apt/sources.list , and add the multiverse to the ends of those lines

[02:24] <philn> hello
[02:25] <copyleft> excuse me, we have two LoCoBot in #ubuntu-tw Channel, and it repeated the log twice. shall we kick one?
[02:25] <roshambo> hi
[02:25] <roshambo> i am trying to ssh in with no password between two ubuntu boxes. i'd like to be able to ssh in both directions, and put the same key in authorized_keys on both machines. is there any reason not to do this?
[02:26] <ArIeZ> i've been runnin ubuntu for 1 day now and i jus downloaded a file that i want to install
[02:26] <ArIeZ> and am having trouble with it
[02:26] <MrCollins> LOL Abnix
[02:26] <eggzeck> Abnix: you should have seen what someone asked in a perl channel
[02:27] <mwe> ArIeZ: what kind of file?
[02:27] <ArIeZ> deb file
[02:27] <lisi> can anyone help me?
[02:27] <mwe> ArIeZ: sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[02:27] <mwe> ArIeZ: is for ubunut though?
[02:27] <ArIeZ> yes
[02:27] <mwe> ArIeZ: go ahead then
[02:28] <ArIeZ> where do i type that
[02:28] <mwe> ArIeZ: in a terminal
[02:28] <eggzeck> terminal
[02:28] <mwe> ArIeZ: cd to the folder containing it before sudo dpkg -i file.deb
[02:30] <Abnix> anyone know if there's a ubuntu for sparc machiens?
[02:30] <mwe> Abnix: I think not
[02:30] <Abnix> (being planned even)
[02:31] <mwe> Abnix: afaik it's targeted for intel and mac
[02:31] <philn> i found a bug in python2.4-samba package, how to report it ?
[02:31] <Abnix> *shrug* oh well....I'm only using the single most unsupported processor in all the world...
[02:31] <mwe> Abnix: the idea is only to support a limitid number of archs to be able to supply releases relatively fast
[02:32] <Abnix> that's a good ideal
[02:32] <Abnix> but man I'd give lefty to be able to give solaris here the boot...
[02:32] <philn> nevermind i've found
[02:32] <useruser> Abnix: debian?
[02:32] <nickrud> Abnix, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-14839.html
[02:32] <Abnix> not as in boot up, but as in my size 14...
[02:32] <mwe> Abnix: you should probably look for antohter distro, like debian
[02:33] <lisi> does anyone here use kshowmail?
[02:33] <mwe> lisi: is it a new mail notifier?
[02:33] <useruser> will ubuntu boot on a macbook pro?
[02:33] <eggzeck> yes
[02:33] <eggzeck> oh wait
[02:33] <lisi> yes
[02:33] <Abnix> actually, even though I'm here, I do prefer muchly to stay away from debian...
[02:33] <mwe> lisi: I use kbiff
[02:33] <useruser> cool
[02:33] <lisi> dose it let you read the text of the email or just the headers?
[02:34] <lisi> mwe: and can you delete from the server without downloading the email with it?
[02:34] <eggzeck> macbook pro is a lot of $$$$$ though heh
[02:34] <Abnix> I've managed several productions servers in my time, only one that was rooted was the fully-up-to-date debian rig...
[02:34] <useruser> which version do i need for that?
[02:34] <mwe> lisi: it shows new mail. then launches your email program when you click it
[02:35] <lisi> mwe: ah, I need something where I can delete the email without having to download everything first
[02:35] <eggzeck> why stay away from Debian?
[02:35] <lisi> mwe: thanks though
[02:35] <eggzeck> Debian is awesome
[02:35] <NickGarvey> :)
[02:35] <nickrud> lol
[02:35] <Frogzoo> Abnix: that's not a proper sample size tho
[02:36] <rewt_axs> sudo dpkg-reconfigure...? to do sound
[02:37] <useruser> lisi: do you have a link for the ubuntu-on-macbook lowdown? i want to know which version i need to get for that
[02:38] <bungle> !frostwire
[02:38] <chmod775> what's frostwire
[02:38] <chmod775> ?
[02:38] <rewt_axs> sudo dpkg-reconfigure sound
[02:38] <rewt_axs> is that it?
[02:38] <rewt_axs> bc its not working on mine
[02:38] <Frogzoo> !tell chmod775 about frostwire
[02:39] <Abnix> Frogzoo: well yes, I'll give you that, thing is my other reasons for not liking that distro most people discount as not valid/good reasons. So I stick with just mentioning the rooting
[02:39] <mwe> !tell rewt_axs about sound
[02:39] <ndlovu> any idea if the dapper version of openoffice is in backports?
[02:39] <Frogzoo> Abnix: fair nuff
[02:40] <Frogzoo> !tell ndlovu about ooo2
[02:40] <eggzeck> useruser: I doubt any of the current ones will, perhaps Dapper? But you have to wait until June 1st (but then again maybe 5.10 might)
[02:40] <mwe> ndlovu: I don't think so. There is a repo you can add to sources.list to get the latest OO.org though
[02:41] <useruser> eggzeck: ok
[02:41] <ndlovu> thanks Frogzoo
[02:41] <neo911> is it safe to use bittorrent? is it nothing like kazaa? thx
[02:41] <mwe> neo911: bittorrent is safe enough
[02:41] <ndlovu> and thanks also mwe
[02:42] <mwe> ndlovu: yw
[02:42] <neo911> it doesnt make my system vulnerable to hackers or trojans? :-/
[02:42] <useruser> neo911: shouldn't do. you just have to worry about the feds
[02:43] <neo911> i'm not really sure what am talkin about just want to be safe than sorry
[02:43] <johannesen> hi cafuego
[02:43] <Frogzoo> neo911: if you run azureus/something java based, you're safe as houses
[02:43] <neo911> ha ha if i download that's not a problem right? if i share then thats the time the feds will go after me
[02:43] <mwe> neo911: you always have to be somewhat careful about what you download
[02:44] <useruser> neo911: bittorrent shares while it downloads, as i understand it
[02:44] <eggzeck> you're always vulnerable to attacks, but i'd say you're much more safe using Linux
[02:44] <neo911> Frogzoo, i d/l this thing called bittornado client
[02:44] <useruser> neo911: that's what makes it all work :)
[02:44] <Frogzoo> neo911: dowloading copyrighted material is a crime in many countries
[02:44] <ZigZag> hi! where can I download the debs files normally fetched in synaptic? I need to burn them on a CD to take the with me, and I don't run Ubuntu on this machine, so I can't check the sources.list files
[02:45] <mwe> ZigZag: surf to a mirror
[02:45] <bungle> cant run frostwire get java errors
[02:45] <neo911> right, then if that's the case why does bittorrent still exist?
[02:45] <ZigZag> mwe: can you give me a url?
[02:45] <iaakee> hi
[02:45] <iaakee> breezy is testing ?
[02:45] <mwe> ZigZag: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/
[02:45] <Frogzoo> neo911: I guess because of all the people downloading legit content
[02:45] <useruser> neo911: not everything is illegal to share
[02:45] <bungle> anybody had problems with frostwire
[02:45] <neo911> i have this thing called firestarter installed does that make my comp safer?
[02:46] <MoL^compiling> hi to all
[02:46] <neo911> i mean more secure?
[02:46] <useruser> neo911: you could equally ask why http still exists...
[02:46] <Frogzoo> iaakee: breezy is current latest stable ubuntu release
[02:46] <ZigZag> mwe: thanks a lot!
[02:46] <MoL^compiling> what are the default password for root on ubuntu?
[02:46] <iaakee> wich is testing ?
[02:46] <mwe> neo911: it firewall software, so yes
[02:46] <bungle> iaakee, dapper
[02:46] <iaakee> thank you
[02:47] <funtable> MoL^compiling, dont have pass, to put that,you need to run   #sudo passwd root
[02:47] <ZigZag> mwe: another question: most of the files in a subfolder are diff.gz and .dsc and stuff... where can I get normal debs?
[02:47] <MoL^compiling> funtable: oky thx
[02:47] <mwe> ZigZag: same place
[02:47] <mwe> ZigZag: those are for the source debs
[02:48] <ZigZag> mwe: http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/ndiswrapper/
[02:48] <ZigZag> mwe: I need a deb of ndiswrapper
[02:48] <haffe> Hi, I'm looking to buy a Hercules Fortissimo IV, has anyone tried that soundcard with linux?
[02:48] <mwe> ZigZag: the utils are there. the kernel modules is included in linux-image* packages
[02:48] <caglar> I use 2 monitors in ubuntu using Xinerama. How am I able to send a window from one monitor to the other?
[02:49] <ZigZag> mwe: I see. are the linux-image* packages installed by default? or do I need them too?
[02:49] <funkyHat> caglar, can't you drag it across? :S
[02:49] <mwe> ZigZag: it's installed or your system wouldnt run
[02:49] <iaakee> which is the orden in vi to change several words:...... :/word1/word2/4 ?
[02:49] <mwe> ZigZag: it's the kernel
[02:50] <caglar> funkyHat: nope, I can just move my mouse from one window to the other
[02:50] <ZigZag> mwe: lol, why didn't you just say so? =) I'm not too familiar with the whole ubuntu/debian packaging conventions, I'm a Fedora guy myself...
[02:50] <burgermann> Where do I place scripts I want executed by root at startup?
[02:50] <mwe> ZigZag: you still need the utils though
[02:50] <Frogzoo> burgermann: I'm guessin you mean /etc/rc2.d
[02:51] <iaakee> which is the VI command to change a one word for other word ?
[02:51] <ZigZag> mwe: yep. thx for your help! do you know anything else I need to bring to get ndiswrapper working?
[02:51] <iaakee> i wont get the testing
[02:51] <burgermann> Frogzoo: Maybe you guess right :P
[02:51] <mwe> ZigZag: the _correct_ windows driver. not any driver will work
[02:51] <fiveiron> is there a gconf setting I can use to change the initial brown background color when logging in to gnome?
[02:52] <burgermann> Frogzoo: is all script files there executed?
[02:52] <mwe> fiveiron: gdmsetup
[02:52] <ZigZag> mwe: right. but I have that one on the CD.
[02:52] <fiveiron> ah
[02:52] <fiveiron> thx
[02:52] <ZigZag> mwe: I seem to recall there being some gtk program to handle ndiswrapper. is that so?
[02:52] <mwe> ZigZag: is it a driver that is supposed to work with ndiswrapper?
[02:52] <ZigZag> mwe: of course =)
[02:53] <mwe> ZigZag: I had to install a different one than the one from my cd
[02:53] <Frogzoo> fiveiron: sys -> admin -> login screen -> gtk+ greeter (took months to find that)
[02:53] <neo911> how can i change the permission of my common partition to be writable? all of its folders have lock icons beside them?... thx
[02:53] <ZigZag> mwe: In case of fire, I do have internet access through my tablet. but I'd like to download as much as possiblein advance
[02:53] <neo911> my common partition is hda6
[02:54] <mwe> ZigZag: yeah. ndiswrapper has a large list of cards and recommended drivers
[02:54] <mwe> ZigZag: ndiswrapper.sf.net that is
[02:54] <frank_matrix> hallo
[02:54] <ZigZag> mwe: yes, and I've gone through the one at the ubuntu wiki, so I should be good.
[02:55] <frank_matrix> ist jemand anwesend?
[02:55] <mwe> neo911: what do you mean. your current ubuntu partiton or what?
[02:55] <Frogzoo> burgermann: anything starting with S will be started (in number order), anything starting with K will be stopped
[02:55] <bungle> cant run frostwire anybody help?
[02:55] <fiveiron> frank_matrix: sprechen sie English?
[02:56] <mwe> neo911: a lot of directories can only be written by the superuser. that's intentionally and should not be changed
[02:56] <neo911> mwe, no i have a common partition in my hdisk that is visible to both XP and ubuntu but only in ubuntu i can't write to it
[02:56] <mwe> neo911: what file system is it?
[02:56] <neo911> mwe, how do i find that out? what file system it is?
[02:56] <_jason> bungle: did you install java?
[02:57] <mwe> neo911: type mount in a terminal
[02:57] <bungle> _jason, yes using sun java
[02:57] <_jason> bungle: what happens when you try to run it in a terminal?
[02:57] <bungle> i get errors wanna see _jason ?

[02:58] <nash-18> hi
[02:58] <neo911> mwe, hda6 is vfat
[02:58] <robf> hello
[02:58] <mwe> neo911: good
[02:58] <fek> moin
[02:58] <rambo3> morning
[02:58] <odat> hi everyone
[02:58] <odat> i'm having a monitor problem
[02:58] <nash-18> when i try to run compiz send me next error:
[02:58] <nash-18> compiz.real: GLX_EXT_texture_from_pixmap is missing
[02:58] <nash-18> compiz.real: Failed to manage screen: 0
[02:58] <nash-18> compiz.real: No managable screens found on display :1
[02:58] <neo911> mwe, i tried to change the owner of hda6 from root to my username but it wont let me
[02:58] <robf> i could use some ehlp installing mpg codecs for totem please
[02:58] <mwe> neo911: make a backup of /etc/fstab. then gksudo gedit /etc/fstab and put umask=0000 under options
[02:58] <nash-18> do you know why?
[02:58] <neo911> mwe, i did this by running nautilus as sudo
[02:58] <mwe> neo911: then remount it
[02:59] <_jason> ubotu: tell robf about multimedia
[02:59] <mwe> neo911: you can't do that
[02:59] <bungle> _jason, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/10719
[02:59] <rambo3>   sudo update-alternatives --config java
[02:59] <neo911> guys do you agree with mwe is this the way to go? sorry mwe i have to ask other's opinions bec i don't relaly know you :-)
[02:59] <odat> I recently switched to a flat panel monitor and xserver works and my desktop looks great  however when starting up everthing is off to the left instead of centered.  Any ideas
[02:59] <_jason> bungle: what rambo3 said was for you,make sure sun java is selected
[03:00] <mwe> neo911: of course it's the way to go
[03:00] <bungle> will do cheers
[03:00] <variant> robf: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[03:00] <robf> ok will take a look brb
[03:00] <_sHaDe> i had yur same proble yesterday to frostwire
[03:00] <mwe> neo911: you can't do anything else unless you wanna access the drive as root
[03:00] <_sHaDe> *your
[03:00] <_sHaDe> *problem
[03:00] <_sHaDe> i have resolve the problem
[03:01] <variant> does anyone know how to change the mount options for usb drivers
[03:01] <variant> drives *
[03:01] <bungle> ok sun java selected _jason
[03:01] <bungle> getting same error
[03:01] <variant> i want to mount a usb stick with "sync" option to protect against mounted removal
[03:01] <_jason> _sHaDe: how? :)
[03:01] <mwe> variant: /etc/fstab
[03:01] <nickrud> neo911, mwe's quality of answers is probably in the top 10% of helpers here
[03:01] <odat> rambo3, not many people know about that i was shocked
[03:01] <variant> mwe: does that work even with the automounting stuff?
[03:01] <fiveiron> ok i'm creating a symbolic link to a file that is 644, but no matter what I do, the perms on the symlink are 777 ... what gives?
[03:01] <_sHaDe> wait
[03:01] <odat>  I recently switched to a flat panel monitor and xserver works and my desktop looks great  however when starting up everthing is off to the left instead of centered.  Any ideas
[03:02] <neo911> mwe, i put umask=0000 under options for hda6?
[03:02] <mwe> variant: if it's mounted via fstab, yes
[03:02] <kingspwned> variant, or with option -o sync, i think.
[03:02] <mwe> neo911: yes
[03:02] <neo911> ok, thanks mwe nickrud
[03:02] <rambo3> odat i didn t say anything anyway your xorg is missconfigured ,
[03:02] <mwe> neo911: it probably has defaults or something. change that to defaults,umask=0000
[03:03] <odat> rambo3, i was talking about the java selection
[03:03] <rambo3> ok
[03:03] <variant> mwe: no idea, i just put the stick in and it automounts
[03:03] <neo911> mwe, how do i remount?
[03:03] <_sHaDe> _jason, look my query
[03:03] <odat> rambo3, i don't believe its xorg because the screen is off centered before xorg kicks in    xorg actually centers it when it does kick in
[03:03] <_jason> _sHaDe: thanks
[03:03] <_sHaDe> :)
[03:04] <_jason> bungle: _sHaDe fixed his problem following http://www.gnutellaforums.com/showthread.php?s=d70d7601ff2b57c2ae4afafc9201164a&threadid=53381
[03:04] <mwe> variant: I'm not sure
[03:04] <bungle> will try that cheers
[03:04] <odat> frostwire is badass
[03:04] <rambo3> yeah m i had that problem with fedora. its their tradition to shift screen 2  inches to the right
[03:04] <caglar> does anyone know how to move one window from one monitor to another (I am using Xinerama, Xorg 7, Dual head)
[03:05] <neo911> hi guys how do i remount a partition? thx
[03:05] <kingspwned> variant, do you have it in fstab?
[03:05] <odat> rambo3, i think it is a setting in my nvidia card  when i go to nvidia settings its still say i have a crt not a flat panel
[03:05] <odat> rambo3,  i don't know how to change it
[03:05] <rambo3> i got anwerd that its wrong frekvency or something driver, monitor foult that it s ooutputing signals wrong
[03:06] <mwe> neo911: sudo mount -o remount /mount/point
[03:06] <neo911> mwe, point should be hda6 literally?
[03:06] <rambo3> and that if i have button ajust automaticly on my monitor it will fix it self
[03:06] <_jason> bungle: he used jojoman02's post by the way
[03:07] <bungle> ok thanks _jason
[03:08] <mwe> neo911: Where is it mounted?
[03:08] <neo911> hda6
[03:08] <neo911> mwe,
[03:08] <mwe> neo911: no
[03:08] <bungle> cheers _jason that worked a treat
[03:08] <mwe> neo911: type mount and tell me the mount point
[03:09] <neo911> mwe, /media/hda6?
[03:09] <veldorzvizzerd> hey y'all, anyone know much about wengophone?
[03:09] <rambo3> if its in /media the you can use only  hda6 anyway
[03:09] <johannesen> does anyone of you have a working setup with wpasupplicant and a PowerBook? cafuego?
[03:09] <johannesen> I have tried, but alas
[03:09] <Blippe> veldorzvizzerd, yeah, you want to install or do you have problems?
[03:09] <veldorzvizzerd> yeah, I've installed it, but it doesn't run
[03:10] <neo911> mwe, cool, i've reloaded my nautilus and it's changed all permissions to writable except for the root... thanks heaps
[03:10] <veldorzvizzerd> it appears in applications > internet
[03:10] <veldorzvizzerd> but when I click on it, nothing loads
[03:10] <veldorzvizzerd> any ideas, blippe?
[03:11] <soundray> veldorzvizzerd: maybe it logs an error to ~/.xsession-errors
[03:11] <neo911> mwe, i just want to know what i did exactly, so what did umask=0000 exactly do? thx
[03:11] <veldorzvizzerd> will check, brb.. thanks soundray
[03:11] <kilgost> #join ubuntu-fr
[03:12] <arrinmurr> veldorzvizzerd: try to start it from a terminal window and see what it says. i'd guess you're missing some qt stuff
[03:12] <veldorzvizzerd> how do I start it from the terminal?
[03:13] <arrinmurr> veldorzvizzerd: try alt+f2 -> gnome-terminal and type openwengo or wengophone or whatever it is there
[03:13] <veldorzvizzerd> ok
[03:13] <mwe> neo911: changed the mount options. read man mount please
[03:14] <neo911> mwe oh ok thx!
[03:14] <veldorzvizzerd> it says error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.5: cannot open shared object file: no such file or directory
[03:15] <_jason> veldorzvizzerd: sudo aptitude install libstdc++5
[03:15] <veldorzvizzerd> cheers _jason
[03:15] <soundray> _jason: that's a base package, isn't it?
[03:16] <_jason> soundray: I don't think so.  Only because on the ff1.5 page it notes that you need to install it
[03:16] <veldorzvizzerd> yep, its working now, thanks again jason, soundray
[03:17] <soundray> Section: base...
[03:19] <_jason> soundray: you are right... strange
[03:20] <siesel> hi, I have some problems with my hard disk. When I access a specific file I always get an input/output error.
[03:21] <Dr_Willis> siesel,  check dmesg output yet? see if any messages are showing up.
[03:21] <ArIeZ> hello
[03:21] <Frogzoo> siesel: that very bad - check /var/log/messages for other errors, the disk's probably going bad
[03:21] <ArIeZ> i'm trying to install a deb file can anyone help
[03:22] <_jason> !deb
[03:22] <ubotu> To install a .deb file: sudo dpkg -i filename.deb  (but note that the program you want might be installable using !apt from the !repos)
[03:22] <root_> hello everybody!
[03:22] <root_> im not root but shukhrat! :)
[03:22] <AnsiC> hello
[03:22] <AnsiC> ubuntu use SHADOW for default ???
[03:22] <siesel> Frogzoo:  is there any way to save the disk, f.e. make a bad block scan?
[03:22] <AnsiC> i mean about the passwords
[03:23] <odat>  I recently switched to a flat panel monitor and xserver works and my desktop looks great  however when starting up everthing is off to the left instead of centered.  Any ideas
[03:23] <Frogzoo> siesel: is this ide?
[03:23] <soundray> root_: hey, you can't log in here and pose as good old shukhrat ;)
[03:23] <root_> i wanna install slmodem but when i wanna gzip it, terminal says no such a file or directory, please, help
[03:23] <AnsiC> user@hostname:~$ su
[03:23] <AnsiC> Password:
[03:23] <AnsiC> setgid: Operation not permitted
[03:23] <AnsiC> user@hostname:~$
[03:23] <Healot> YES, AnsiC
[03:23] <root_> thanks, soundray!
[03:23] <AnsiC> user@hostname:~$ sudo su
[03:23] <AnsiC> sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0
[03:23] <AnsiC> user@hostname:~$
[03:24] <Frogzoo> AnsiC: please don't paste in chan, thx
[03:24] <AnsiC> i runned some chown user:user *
[03:24] <soundray> odat, does your monitor have an autoconfig feature?
[03:24] <Healot> AnsiC, by default Mark disabled the use of "su" :)
[03:24] <apokryphos> AnsiC: you really shouldn't muck around with sudoers, you can get a lot of problems. Also, you shouldn't do sudo su -- use sudo -i to get into a root shell.
[03:24] <fontp> I'm having a wierd problem with gnomebaker, when i try to make an audio CD ti tells me that "The plugin to handle a file of type MP3 audio is not installed."
[03:24] <Healot> AnsiC, use sudo with every command that requires superuser access...
[03:24] <_jason> Frogzoo: did the dos2unix conversion of /usr/bin/frostwire work for you to fix frostwire?  I just tried it and had to do it to /usr/lib/frostwire/runFrost.sh
[03:25] <AnsiC> sudo -i ???
[03:25] <odat> soundray, i think it has something to do with nvidia settings because nvidia still thinks its a crt
[03:25] <AnsiC> sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0
[03:25] <AnsiC> that is sudo -i
[03:25] <siesel> Frogzoo:  no its usb2.0 external ide
[03:25] <root_> i wanna install slmodem but when i wanna gzip it, terminal says no such a file or directory, please, help
[03:25] <Healot> fontp, not weird, you missed some gstreamer plugins there
[03:25] <kingspwned> AnsiC, then it is best to make it owned by root again, eh?
[03:26] <soundray> odat, that shouldn't matter.
[03:26] <AnsiC> ghggh
[03:26] <rambo3> did you chmod 777 /*/*  buy any chance AnsciC?
[03:26] <apokryphos> AnsiC: yes, because you mucked up sudoers. Does using sudo/su not work at all?
[03:26] <AnsiC> user@hostname:~$ sudo su
[03:26] <AnsiC> sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0
[03:26] <apokryphos> rambo3: recursive chmods in anywhere but /home is quite dangerous.
[03:26] <AnsiC> i used chow user:user *
[03:26] <fontp> healot : which dstreamer package should I install ?
[03:26] <AnsiC> in some directory
[03:26] <odat> soundray, well nothing is off center once i get to the desktop only when booting and shutting down
[03:26] <kingspwned> AnsiC, chown and chgrp, since you own the file anyway
[03:26] <root_> by slmodem i mean driver for slmodem, have a pctel made modem HSP56 MR, and ubuntu doesn't recognize it
[03:26] <AnsiC> what imust do ?
[03:26] <rambo3> apokryphos thats what i am asking him
[03:26] <root_> by slmodem i mean driver for slmodem, have a pctel made modem HSP56 MR, and ubuntu doesn't recognize it (in live cd)
[03:26] <oxez> Do we need X11R7 to run XGL on 5.10 (KDE)? If yes, is X11R7 available in the repos? (backports, or a private one)
[03:26] <Healot> AnsiC, try other sommand...
[03:27] <kingspwned> AnsiC, you must "man chown" and "man chgrp" - then apply newfound knowledge
[03:27] <apokryphos> rambo3: sorry, I meant AnsiC *
[03:27] <odat> soundray, in other words once xorg kicks in  its cool
[03:27] <Healot> !gstreamer
[03:27] <ubotu> Healot: Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[03:27] <apokryphos> fontp: gstreamer0.8-mad
[03:27] <soundray> odat, I see. I have a machine like that -- I just ignore it. But I noticed that when I boot certain live CDs, the problem does not appear.
[03:27] <root_> Healot: i wanna install slmodem but when i wanna gzip it, terminal says no such a file or directory, please, help
[03:27] <AnsiC> i do not understand
[03:27] <soundray> odat: the upshot is:
[03:27] <kingspwned> AnsiC, and your system is basically just crazed now if your user owns every file on it
[03:27] <AnsiC> i thing that  i reinstall all
[03:27] <kingspwned> AnsiC, i thing that too
[03:28] <rambo3> you do that
[03:28] <soundray> odat: you can probably play with "vga=" kernel options to fix it.
[03:28] <apokryphos> :/
[03:28] <AnsiC> uffff
[03:28] <apokryphos> you shouldn't ever really need to reinstall
[03:28] <kingspwned> AnsiC, and next time, dont do this again
[03:28] <patrick5222> hello how do i delete my windows os without effecting ubuntu os
[03:28] <apokryphos> AnsiC: you can't execute any sudo command?
[03:28] <Healot> root_, gzipping what? source code? prebuilt module?
[03:28] <thinkloop> i just setup exim4 and ran exim4-config, and i guesss its runnning.. however, i install mutt on my box and at at the bottom of mutt it says "/var/mail/user is not a mailbox"
[03:28] <root_> tar.gz
[03:28] <apokryphos> patrick5222: just delete the partition and partition it as something else. THe bootloader is on the MBR and ubuntu controls it, not Windoze.
[03:28] <thinkloop> so anyone know where the mailbox are created?
[03:28] <root_> Healot, im shukhrat :)
[03:28] <Frogzoo> siesel: ide automatically relocates bad blocks to a set of spare blocks it keeps set aside - once you start seeing disk failures, it's because the spare blocks have been exhausted - I'd say that disk is on the way out fast
[03:28] <AnsiC> user@hostname:~$ sudo chown
[03:28] <AnsiC> sudo: /etc/sudoers is owned by uid 1000, should be 0
[03:29] <Healot> patrick5222, you installed grub on your mbr?
[03:29] <Frogzoo> _jason: thx for pointing that out - I'll fix the info in the bot
[03:29] <soundray> thinkloop: does /var/mail/user exist at all?
[03:29] <AnsiC> sudo su  grrgrrrgrg
[03:29] <Healot> then just delete your windows partition from ubuntu is fairly safe
[03:29] <odat> soundray, i don't think its anything to do with linux or the kernel, because it doesn't it right off the bat before anything is loaded
[03:29] <apokryphos> AnsiC: reboot and at the grub prompt select "e" to edit boot commands
[03:29] <_jason> Frogzoo: cool
[03:29] <thinkloop> yeah /var/mail/ has 2 folders in it
[03:29] <AnsiC> i can reboot using ubuntu CD
[03:29] <apokryphos> AnsiC: go to the line that says kernel blah etc etc (the long one) and edit the line and add init=/bin/bash to the end.
[03:29] <kingspwned> AnsiC, dont sudo chown you dont need to you already own the file
[03:29] <patrick5222> yeh i did install it on my masterbootrecord, but how do i deletet it
[03:30] <thinkloop> actually in /var/mail it has one folder and one text file
[03:30] <apokryphos> AnsiC: then boot that command set and it should bring you straight to a root shell
[03:30] <Squee> Hello
[03:30] <AnsiC> ?????
[03:30] <AnsiC> uff
[03:30] <kingspwned> apokryphos, he has chown'ed every file on his system to his user..
[03:30] <AnsiC> some procedure please?
[03:30] <Healot> use fdisk or gparted (which is safer), patrick5222
[03:30] <AnsiC> i'm italian
[03:30] <apokryphos> kingrayray: hm, far more problematic.
[03:30] <soundray> odat: advice is still the same: 1) Check out autoconfig on your monitor; 2) Try vga kernel options - your monitor obviously takes to certain resolutions better than to others.
[03:30] <kingspwned> apokryphos, it will take him a life to fix it, i do honestly believe that a reinstall will do him good
[03:30] <rambo3> i think its the same just a frontend for fdisk
[03:31] <Healot> deleting windows ntfs/fat32 partittion doesn't effect mbr, unless you move/resize your linux partition...
[03:31] <patrick5222> int there a programm that starts with QT***** dont knwo the name does anyone
[03:31] <apokryphos> kingspawn: might just be easier, yes.
[03:31] <thinkloop> actually in mutt, how do you change the directory where it looks for the mailbox?
[03:31] <Healot> qtparted/gparted the same program, using different toolkit
[03:31] <soundray> thinkloop: does /var/mail/user exist, and is it a file or directory?
[03:31] <kingspwned> apokryphos, especially since his knowledge is very limited, it seems
[03:31] <apokryphos> patrick5222: gparted is slightly nicer put together, though.
[03:31] <_jason> kingspwned, apokryphos: are there any files not in home that are owned by a user other than root?  can't he just make every file root owned then undo it in /home?
[03:31] <root_> soundray: i wanna install slmodem but when i wanna gzip it, terminal says no such a file or directory, please, help
[03:31] <thinkloop> soundray: it's a folder for me, but there's another user account and his is a text file
[03:31] <kingspwned> AnsiC, i think you should try to back up what you need, and do a reinstall
[03:32] <patrick5222> how do i get gparted
[03:32] <soundray> thinkloop, I suggest you fix your system, rather than work around it through mutt config.
[03:32] <apokryphos> _jason: /tmp and a few other locations have non-root owned files, too.
[03:32] <kingspwned> _jason, he probably can, but i can't get through to him
[03:32] <AnsiC> yes and 2 houer for save my things
[03:32] <thinkloop> soundray: well i looked into the text file of the user other, its all email stuff
[03:32] <rambo3> root_ even with sudo ?
[03:32] <Healot> root_, where you put the file in the first place?
[03:32] <root_> yes
[03:33] <rambo3> ls -l list the file ?
[03:33] <root_> usr/local/src
[03:33] <Healot> :?
[03:33] <patrick5222> apokryphos: how do i get gparted
[03:33] <veldorzvizzerd> hello again, I just got a wengophone account but its keeps saying 'incorrect login or password' and the program shows 'wengophone is not properly configured', something to do with not being authenticated on the network or something - any ideas as to what I can do about this?
[03:33] <Healot> are you sure, it is there, root_ ?
[03:33] <apokryphos> patrick5222: fire up synaptic -> select+install gparted from there
[03:33] <root_> yes, i copied it there
[03:34] <Healot> patrick5222, buy it from Mark, nay, just apt-get install gparted or use synaptic to install
[03:34] <MrCollins> uhm
[03:34] <rambo3> not in /usr/src ?
[03:34] <MrCollins> I would change your name from root
[03:34] <Healot> so, "ls" it root_
[03:34] <Healot> or cd there
[03:34] <root_> Healot, what is it?
[03:34] <soundray> thinkloop: there are two common ways of storing mail: in so-called mbox files, or in so-called mh directories.
[03:34] <root_> ls?
[03:34] <rambo3> type ls in terminal
[03:34] <soundray> thinkloop, you need to set up your system for either one or the other.
[03:35] <Healot> root_, you're total blank eh? nvm
[03:35] <thinkloop> soundray: any documentation on that?
[03:35] <Healot> root_, do you remember the filename, at least?
[03:35] <soundray> thinkloop, if you are a mutt user, I suggest you stick with the mbox format
[03:35] <root_> Healot, you're right, I am dummy :)
[03:35] <soundray> thinkloop, yes, stfw ;)
[03:35] <veldorzvizzerd> _jason ? you there mate?
[03:35] <gabbah> i'm using the event tester to find out what buttons i have on my mouse. The weird thing is my side buttons have the same number as other buttons :/   So when I map them to actions the other buttons break :(
[03:35] <root_> there are alot of books about me, remember "dummies series? :)
[03:36] <_jason> veldorzvizzerd: yep, but I've never user wengophone
[03:36] <veldorzvizzerd> ah, i c
[03:36] <Healot> if you DO remember... just run "updatedb && locate <the filename if you remember it>"
[03:36] <root_> Healot, yes it is slmodem-2.9.10.tar.gz
[03:36] <thinkloop> soundray: i did it for my cousins email, that big text file and its working... so i have to get that text file for myself
[03:36] <veldorzvizzerd> any other voip program you may know of that is compatible with both windows and linux?
[03:36] <Healot> root_, never actually read that series... just peeked
