[07:03] <santeria[FL] > but you would think 191 b would be fast as a blink of an eye
[07:04] <pungie> I nkow the router works, because my windows box connects no isseus
[07:04] <abes> genbie: i cant ping it... hold on a sec...
[07:04] <viikio> how can i replace a file in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins? it wont let me paste there.. how can i make it work?
[07:04] <genbie> abes ok thanx
[07:04] <pradeep> viiko, you have to be root
[07:04] <NewcomerXb> ok, ill look elsewhere
[07:04] <santeria[FL] > do you think if i put my monitor on my motherboard vga port i could get into ubuntu and then install the nvidia drivers from the actual os?
[07:05] <NewcomerXb> Eeep it said i had messages.
[07:05] <Jordan_U> santeria[FL] : All I can say is that shouldn't have happened and to try again, if it fails again press ctrl+x to stop it then run the command again ( press the up arrow and you won't have to type it in again )
[07:05] <viikio> how do i become root?
[07:05] <pungie> is wifi not working on a new router or working randomly a common ubuntu occurance
[07:05] <santeria[FL] > ok
[07:05] <Madpilot> viikio, you don't need to. User sudo & your own user password
[07:05] <Jordan_U> santeria[FL] : Make that ctrl+c :)
[07:05] <santeria[FL] > is that command necesary? what does it do exactly
[07:05] <abes> genbie: try http://<IP_ADDRESS> and see if it opens
[07:05] <santeria[FL] > does it update the os or something?
[07:06] <pungie> any other ideas on if i can connect to the router, I can see it...  but cant get an ip.. staically picking one, cant ping the gateway
[07:06] <Jordan_U> santeria[FL] : It tells apt where to download the drivers from.
[07:06] <viikio> i should do that using terminal?
[07:06] <abes> pungie: what do you mean by i can see it? like see it standing on the shelf? :P
[07:06] <pungie> no.. I can see it by if I do  iwlist ath0 scanning, the router appears and shows me its info... it pops up in my list in wifi radar
[07:07] <santeria[FL] > tell me if i got the next command after that right : install linux-restricted-modules-generic nvidia-glx
[07:07] <santeria[FL] > or
[07:07] <abes> pungie: maybe you have mac filtering on or the wep/wpa key is incorrect - double-check those first
[07:07] <santeria[FL] > sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic nvidia-glx
[07:07] <abes> genbie: so... did it open?
[07:07] <pungie> ok.. i know its not mac filtering on my router.. maybe I have typo in the key, but did double check.. I will try that again.. .was seeing any other ideas
[07:08] <Jordan_U> santeria[FL] : sudo apt-get install linux-restricted-modules-generic nvidia-glx
[07:08] <abes> pungie: try disabling encryption completely first and see if it connects
[07:08] <santeria[FL] > i guess thats right then
[07:08] <abes> pungie: so at least you know that hardware on both ends is ok
[07:08] <santeria[FL] > ok
[07:08] <river> While doing apt-get dist-upgrade I got the following "/var/cache/apt/archives/lmms-common_0.2.1-1.1_all.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)" Can someone give me a pointer ?
[07:08] <genbie> abes yes it opens but very slow and bad page layout
[07:09] <pungie> ok. will do that... the weird thing is i left my machine on over night and the next day it was connceted.. next reboot no more
[07:09] <abes> d
[07:09] <Jordan_U> santeria[FL] : Good luck :)
[07:09] <abes> genbie: well it may not load the css properly
[07:09] <pungie> will try that again
[07:09] <santeria[FL] > i'll need it =\
[07:09] <abes> genbie: but the page loads with IP but not with the hostname, right?
[07:09] <genbie> yes abes
[07:10] <abes> Need help: no "Turn off" or "Restart" icons when i press the "Log out/Turn off" button
[07:10] <pungie> do wifi radar know by default the key is Hexadecimal? if I do it by hand in /etc/network/interfaces i jus
[07:10] <abes> pungie: you can do it in interfaces and just copy it from whatever it is in the router
[07:10] <abes> pungie: are you using wep or wpa
[07:10] <abes> genbie: so then it is your dns most likely
[07:10] <pungie> I am using wep
[07:10] <Cholito> CRAP!! I found the problem with the sound
[07:11] <Vaske_Car> abes, did you try to do manually restart?
[07:11] <genbie> abes thanx, how can i fix that!
[07:11] <abes> Vaske_Car: well it does restrt normally from console... but i wanted the buttons there :p
[07:11] <Cholito> who was the other one with the sound problem?
[07:11] <Cholito> with the amd64?
[07:11] <abes> genbie: just one sec... im a noob myself :]
[07:11] <re-align> I changed the security setting on my wireless AP. However, I'm unable to connect to the network now. I switched from unprotected to WPA-PSK.
[07:11] <genbie> oh ok abes ;-)
[07:11] <Vaske_Car> abes, I had the same problem, restarted PC with button and its OK now
[07:12] <abes> re-align: WPA may need some extra modules to support WPA
[07:12] <abes> Vaske_Car: well... didnt work with me... whatever - its not a biggie... ;]
[07:12] <abes> Vaske_Car: thanks anyways
[07:12] <Vaske_Car> np
[07:12] <tich_> how do i check kernel info?
[07:13] <Cholito> uname -a
[07:13] <re-align> I'm using Edgy and there are some WPA modules already installed.
[07:13] <Jordan_U> tich_: you can check the version with: uname -r.
[07:13] <river> never mind, restarted apt-get dist-upgrade and it seems to be happy to go continue
[07:13] <pungie> if this fails I ll just upgrade to edgy
[07:13] <abes> how do you change your dns ip addresses?
[07:13] <Nuked> anyone know a place aside from get-e where I can find enlightenment dr17 themes?
[07:14] <Jordan_U> abes: In /etc/resolv.conf
[07:14] <sambos> hello
[07:15] <tich_> Jordan_U, it says i am using 2.6.17-10-386, that should be fine for nvidia-glx right?
[07:15] <re-align> Which modules are needed for WPA to work properly/
[07:15] <sambos> i had an awesome looking screen with clear type easy to read fonts then i installed the ati drivers the process worked but now my fonts ugly and i can only get 60hz at this resolution before it was 75 on the moniter please help
[07:15] <sambos> pulling hear out
[07:15] <abes> Jordan_U: is the "nameserver IP_ADDRESS" line the DNS one? and do you have to restart network after u change it?
[07:16] <Jordan_U> tich_: No, it should be 2.6.17-10-generic
[07:16] <Caplain_> how do i have ubuntu automatically setup my network bridge on boot?
[07:16] <Jordan_U> abes: I bleive so, and I believe so :)
[07:16] <NewcomerXb> I run linux from a USB HDD and it has been great for some time. But right now whenever I turn on my computer, it freezes at the point it mounts the drive. I turn the drive off and on right then and it continues the boot process. Could fsck work, and is it really as dangerous to my files as its warning says? :(
[07:16] <Caplain_> how do i have ubuntu automatically setup my network bridge on boot?
[07:17] <river> I received the following error "/boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-26-386
[07:17] <river> cp: cannot stat `/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf': No such file or directory" can someone help ?
[07:17] <tich_> oh, in the wiki it said the generic would crash x, how do i change to generic?
[07:17] <abes> Jordan_U: hehe... ok lets see
[07:17] <tich_> Jordan_U, oh, in the wiki it said the generic would crash x, how do i change to generic?
[07:17] <genbie> so i have to change /etc/resolv.cong abes ;-)?
[07:17] <Jordan_U> tich_: It said generic would crash X? I didn't realize that.
[07:17] <sambos> can anyone help?
[07:17] <snoops> how can I display the size of a directory?
[07:18] <abes>  /msg nickserv set unfiltered on
[07:18] <abes> ll
[07:18] <abes> lol
[07:18] <tich_> Jordan_U, maybe that was for dapper or something
[07:18] <Jordan_U> tich_: Can you give me a link to the guide you are using?
[07:18] <sambos> how do u get cleartype fonts back under ubuntu 6.10?
[07:19] <santeria[FL] > >:|
[07:19] <Jordan_U> santeria[FL] : :(
[07:19] <NewcomerXb> Is fsck dangerous to my files? It gives a warning... how can it damgae m y stuff?
[07:19] <abes> genbie: do you use a router or you are connected directly to the internet?
[07:19] <santeria[FL] > apparently ctl c doesnt work,
[07:19] <genbie> abes directly
[07:20] <tich_> Jordan_U, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia?highlight=%28nvidia%29
[07:20] <Jordan_U> santeria[FL] : If so, then the system crashed.
[07:20] <santeria[FL] > and i found out the thing it stops on is like ubuntu.com/security en_translation or something
[07:20] <abes> Jordan_U: but i meant DNS server your eth0 is using while connected to the net
[07:20] <santeria[FL] > is there another version of ubuntu that would work better?
[07:20] <Jordan_U> santeria[FL] : Dapper.
[07:21] <santeria[FL] > the long term one?
[07:21] <Jordan_U> santeria[FL] : Yes.
[07:21] <santeria[FL] > ok
[07:21] <abes> hehe
[07:21] <santeria[FL] > more stable?
[07:21] <Jordan_U> santeria[FL] : Or the alternate install for Edgy.
[07:21] <santeria[FL] > would 64 bit work better?
[07:21] <Pablo> is edgy unstable?
[07:21] <sambos> i installed ATI drivers now my fonts are ugly why?
[07:21] <Jordan_U> santeria[FL] : Yes, they named it "Edgy" for a reason :)
[07:21] <cedriczg> santeria[FL] , what version you have right now?
[07:21] <mardi_soir> hello i have a problem when i lauch X with Driver "savage" in xorg.conf it does not work,the computer does not seems to be crashed but a can' t do anything and a i have to reboot ... lspci tell me it s a s3 savage , it is dapper
[07:21] <tw|sT3d> guys any tips in installling my internal modem....
[07:22] <abes> Where is the DNS info stored? The IPs that I need in order to browse then web?
[07:22] <santeria[FL] > i'll copy paste it from the .iso shortcut
[07:22] <Jordan_U> Pablo: I wouldn't say unstable, but people have been having a lot of problems with it.
[07:22] <sambos> so dapper is better?
[07:22] <santeria[FL] > ubuntu-6.10-desktop-i386
[07:22] <Pablo> abe... u can always use <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> for dns
[07:22] <abes> Pablo: how come?
[07:22] <sambos> should the average fucking user use dapper or edgy?
[07:22] <Pablo> Jordan_U, I just installed it so I was homing it want THAT bad
[07:22] <Jordan_U> !modem | tw|sT3d
[07:22] <ubotu> tw|sT3d: You want to connect via dial-up? Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DialupModemHowto
[07:23] <Pablo> those are just dns servers that are always there
[07:23] <tw|sT3d> !mobem
[07:23] <tw|sT3d> !modem
[07:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mobem - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:23] <ubotu> You want to connect via dial-up?  Should I just inplugged it?
[07:25] <Pablo> in /etc/resolv.conf
[07:25] <rBlong2us> I don't know I just wanna do this properly
[07:25] <genbie> and tehn restart pablo?
[07:25] <santeria[FL] > and is 64 bit worth downloading? or does it end up being like xp 64 bit where there are no drivers ever
[07:25] <Jordan_U> santeria[FL] : If you don't want to have to jump through hoops to get your video working, yes.
[07:25] <santeria[FL] > yes to 64 bit? or yes to dapper drake
[07:25] <rBlong2us> must I just unplugge it? I Bill Gate$ $oftware I have to "Safely REmove Device"
[07:25] <tich_> Jordan_U,  here is the excerpt: Note: you have to select the restricted modules first because the nvidia-glx package automatically installs the i386 one - and if you have a generic kernel image, the X will not work
[07:26] <genbie> abes i will change the ip addresses in etc/resolve.comf and restart
[07:26] <Pablo> I dont think you will have to reboot just nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:26] <rBlong2us> Jordan_U: I got this putter working with Vesa, no DRI for while
[07:26] <genbie> ok pablo
[07:26] <abes> genbie: just restart the network... should work
[07:26] <Jordan_U> santeria[FL] : Dapper, no opinion on 64, but any open source drivers ( see most of them ) will support 64 bit.
[07:26] <santeria[FL] > ok
[07:26] <santeria[FL] > i think ill just go with 32 just to be safe
[07:26] <abes> genbie: /etc/init.d/networking restart
[07:27] <boni> can anyone tell me how to check if your bluetooth is on on Dapper
[07:27] <abes> genbie: after you're done
[07:28] <genbie> ok abes thankz
[07:28] <abes> genbie: no problem
[07:28] <abes> genbie: come back and let me know if it helped...
[07:28] <river> How can I copy the /home/ and all subdirectories of a partion that wont boot but I have mounted, to a USB flash drive for backup so I can blow everything away and install fresh ?
[07:29] <abes> can anyone tell me why would wi-fi stop working RANDOMLY? no changes were made whatsoever... instead of all wi-fi nets it was showing now it just says "Wired network connection"???
[07:29] <Jordan_U> tich_: Blame the ambiguity of the English language! I think the wiki means that the 386 will break x , not the generic :)
[07:29] <boni> can anyone tell me how to check if my blutooth is on or not on Dapper???
[07:30] <tich_> Jordan_U, huh. well i guess it is good that it didn't install.
[07:30] <Jordan_U> tich_: So uninstall the 386, install the generic, install the restricted modules, then install the nvidea drivers, in that order.
[07:30] <abes> boni: have you checked http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=24546 ??
[07:30] <tich_> Jordan_U, how do i remove the 386, is it the linux-restricted-modules?
[07:31] <abes> river: cp -rf /home DESTINATION_PATH should do
[07:33] <collin> i have i486-linux-gnu-cpp-4.1 in my usr/bin and usr/bin is part of my path, yet when I try to compile with g++ it says that g++ command not found?
[07:33] <genbie> abes thanks so much, it works now!
[07:33] <abes> genbie: no problem :]
[07:33] <genbie> pablo thaanks a lot
[07:34] <genbie> abes i just had a number of errors on eth and wlan when restarting the network
[07:34] <genbie> because i am using an old computer i think ;-)
[07:35] <genbie> i have now added <IP_ADDRESS> as well
[07:35] <genbie> thanks abes
[07:35] <genbie> bye
[07:35] <river> abes, do I need sudo so as to get access to user sub dirs ? is athere any thing else I should copy ?
[07:35] <Pablo> sure genbie
[07:36] <genbie> pablo i have to have both <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> right?
[07:36] <abes> river: sudo would be a good idea since some files have just rwx------ perms
[07:36] <Pablo> no you can have one or 2
[07:36] <abes> river: well... personal data is pretty much /home
[07:36] <Pablo> the second is just a backup
[07:36] <genbie> pablo strange that i was using other dns servers all these years without problem until now
[07:36] <Pablo> well
[07:36] <genbie> oh ok pablo
[07:37] <Pablo> those have been up for about 12 years
[07:37] <Pablo> :P
[07:37] <genbie> ah ok
[07:37] <abes> genbie: see... cuz those servers wern't on ubuntu so they had to chrash one day or another :P
[07:37] <genbie> ;-)
[07:37] <abes> yeah 12 years is a nice uptime :p
[07:37] <Pablo> say thanks to Level 3 Communications, Inc.
[07:37] <genbie> lol
[07:38] <abes> if I slept through half of my live average then i have around 12 years uptime too :P
[07:38] <genbie> bye
[07:38] <abes> cya
[07:38] <Za1> Hi - I have s-video connection from my laptop to my projector and I would like to project to it.  Any idea what I should be doing? should I be tweaking to the xorg.conf file?  I have "ATI Technologies, Inc. Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 9000] " device running on Dell Inspiron 5100 laptop.
[07:38] <Pablo> and it was mci's dns before that
[07:38] <sanityx> Hey guys, I've booted off an Ubuntu 6.10 disc but X fails. Is there a way I can start a textual install from the console?
[07:39] <sanityx> (I'm using console based IRC right now)
[07:39] <Za1> be really thankful if someone help me about this...
[07:39] <Jordan_U> sanityx: Not that I know of, you can download and install from the alternate, text mode CD.
[07:39] <santeria[FL] > yay dappers almost done
[07:39] <tich_> Jordan_U, you were so right, that seems to have worked. i am going to check my xorg.conf right now.
[07:40] <Jordan_U> tich_: :)
[07:40] <sanityx> Jordan_U: bah!
[07:40] <Daehlie> the xchat-gnome in edgy is buggy as hell, someone fix that one of these days =P
[07:40] <Olathe> How do I set Swiftfox, rather than w3m, to be the default browser used by other applications ?
[07:40] <Jordan_U> sanityx: BUT, we can try to get your graphics working in the liveCD.
[07:40] <sanityx> Has anybody experienced X failing when booting ubuntu 6.10 on powerpc?
[07:40] <river> abes, what about /usr/ ?
[07:41] <sanityx> Jordan_U: Well it says no screen found. Ideas?
[07:41] <Jordan_U> sanityx: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh
[07:41] <chi0> can any one help me w/ my ati install
[07:42] <Jordan_U> sanityx: (my solution to everything )
[07:42] <sanityx> i tried that without the flags. ill try it with them
[07:42] <Jordan_U> sanityx: It just tells dpkg not to ask as many questions.
[07:43] <sanityx> Jordan_U: Fatal Server Error: No Screens Found
[07:43] <joeny> hello
[07:43] <joeny> exit
[07:44] <Jordan_U> sanityx: When you did the full dpkg-reconfigure, did you do what it says you might have to on PPC? ( I remember notes like that when I did it on my PPC machine )
[07:44] <chi0> please any one i need help :(
[07:44] <river> I have a sub flash and have a icon on the desk and see the contents...how do I know the path to this to use in a cp command ?
[07:44] <sanityx> might have to do?
[07:44] <sanityx> i didnt notice it saying anything. ill look again
[07:45] <Jordan_U> sanityx: It said PPC, I never really paid attention to it thogh.
[07:45] <river> alternatively does someone know how to run the file manager in sudo mode ?
[07:45] <Jordan_U> river: sudo nautilus
[07:45] <sanityx> nah doesnt say anything
[07:45] <Vuen> river: gksudo nautilus
[07:46] <Jordan_U> sanityx: Withought the -phigh ?
[07:46] <iami89> how do i install openGL?
[07:46] <Jordan_U> iami89: It should be installed by default.
[07:47] <sanityx> oh yeah it does say something like halfway through. ill tell you what it says. i remember not knowing how to do it though
[07:47] <Vuen> iami89: opengl comes with video card drivers. what video card do you have?
[07:47] <Za1> has anyone use projector via s-video before?
[07:48] <chi0> can any one help me w/ my ati card install
[07:48] <sanityx> i have to put in the bus location. lets see if lcpci gives it to me
[07:49] <muzik> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/30715/
[07:49] <Za1> chi0: i think there is no experty about xconf in this room.   Is there a config file I can wipe out to reset defaults?
[07:51] <rc-1> NO programs, including terminal will start! help
[07:53] <sanityx> Jordan_U: no luck man
[07:53] <Jordan_U> rc-1: Can you start ( non GUI of course ) applications from a tty ( press ctrl+alt+F2 )?
[07:53] <Vuen> rc-1: press alt+f7 to get back
[07:53] <Jordan_U> sanityx: What kind of mac is it, or is it not a mac?
[07:54] <Vuen> you can't send people to a tty without telling them how to get back :p
[07:54] <Vuen> he just hard rebooted
[07:54] <sanityx> its a mac
[07:54] <Jordan_U> Vuen: Sorry, I should know better, sombody did that to me when I was new :(
[07:54] <sanityx> dual 500Mhz PowerMac, so i guess that would make it a G3
[07:55] <sanityx> ati card
[07:55] <sanityx> worked fine with 6.06
[07:55] <Vuen> hehe, yeah, someone did the same to me when i was new too :p
[07:55] <Jordan_U> sanityx: Do you still have the xorg.conf from dapper?
[07:55] <genbie> hi again abes and pablo.. after i rebooted, the contents of e/tc/resolv.comf and /etc/ppp/resolv.conf reverted to the old namerserver ip! how can i change it to <IP_ADDRESS> permamnetly plz?
[07:56] <sanityx> Jordan_U: I was thinking about that but I can't seem to get the hard drives mounted
[07:56] <chi0> alot of stuff worked in 6.06 but the kernal is jacked lol
[07:56] <Jordan_U> Vuen: I am probably going to sleep soon, please give my apologies if he comes back.
[07:56] <sanityx> Do I have to do something special to mount drives on a mac?
[07:56] <Vuen> sure
[07:56] <chi0> now you have to hak shitt to get it working
[07:56] <sanityx> Jordan_U: cfdisk reads the disks fine but they wont mount
[07:56] <sanityx> mount -t auto /dev/hdb3 /media/
[07:57] <sanityx> oops
[07:57] <sanityx> wrong window
[07:57] <Jordan_U> sanityx: I never had any problems.
[07:57] <astro> hello
[07:57] <chi0> have you had probs w/ DHCP?
[07:57] <chi0> any 1
[07:57] <zero742> is there a forum for beryl specifically?
[07:57] <Jordan_U> zero742: #beryl
[07:57] <zero742> thanks
[07:57] <Jordan_U> np
[07:57] <zero742> ....kinda obvious I guess
[07:58] <zero742> hehe
[07:58] <Jordan_U> zero742: #ubuntu-xgl also
[07:58] <astro> so I was here last night, getting some help with getting my wireless running.. anyone avaliable to help me a bit more? i couldn't get it last night, ive done a few things but I cant figure out whats wrong.
[07:59] <Jordan_U> sanityx: What is the command you used?  from the right window :)
[07:59] <river> I have 3 machines on home network via wireless, would someone comment if it is practicle to consider having a common home ofor all machines/users on a 4th machine ? and if so, how ?
[08:00] <dungodung> so, I have converted 2 partitions from ntfs to fat32 and edited /etc/fstab (changed ntfs into vfat), but when I restart, the partitions aren't mounted. what gives?
[08:01] <sanityx> Jordan_U: mount -t ext3 /dev/hdb[1,2,3 etc]  /media/
[08:01] <Vuen> river: you could have one machine be the server and set up the other three machines as thin clients. heh.
[08:01] <Jordan_U> sanityx: You sure it is hdb and not hda ?
[08:01] <sanityx> Jordan_U: wait i might have just got it
[08:01] <sanityx> Jordan_U: yes, OSX is on hda
[08:01] <Vuen> river: really though, the easiest way is just to set up some writeable samba shares on the 4th computer
[08:01] <astro> basically my machine is recognizing my wireless card but im not able to search/find my wireless network, even when entering the SSID, etc.
[08:01] <sanityx> Jordan_U: I just got it mounted
[08:01] <sanityx> silly me
[08:01] <Jordan_U> sanityx: And you are mounting it directly to /media
[08:02] <sanityx> Jordan_U: Yeah, thats fine for now.
[08:02] <river> Vuen, and would this be workable over a wireless which is a little flaky or slow at times ?
[08:02] <chris86wm> how to you install the ogg/theora plugin in totem?
[08:02] <rc-1> do i have to dist-upgrade after installing nvida drivers/before installing beryl?
[08:02] <Vuen> river: yep. it would work very well. samba's quite good at resuming connections, much better than windows' implementation
[08:03] <sanityx> Jordan_U: of course x still failed to start . . .
[08:03] <Vuen> river: four of my roommates have windows xp, and two of us have ubuntu. three of us are on wireless. we all share files using windows file sharing / samba, and it's works flawlessly
[08:03] <Vuen> /it's/it
[08:03] <Jordan_U> sanityx: That makes sence with xorg 7 being so different I guess, but maybe you can find the correct busID.
[08:04] <river> Vuen, when a given machine is booting up and the wireless is down, what happens ?
[08:04] <dungodung> so, can anyone please help me with my mounting problem?
[08:04] <Vuen> river: you mean when the AP is down? hmm, not sure. you can configure how linux behaves in these cases, though i'm not really sure how
[08:05] <santeria[FL] > ok on dapper when i put it in it went to the splash screen, then after loading, it went to that vertical line screen but i heard what sounded like a start up little jingle
[08:05] <Vuen> in KDE i have a "Wireless LAN Manager" program with some settings in it, it's probably in gnome as well
[08:05] <sanityx> Jordan_U: lspci -x|grep ati shows 0001:11:02.0
[08:05] <astro> anyone?
[08:05] <santeria[FL] > so i did ctrl alt f2 and put in those nvidia commands
[08:05] <santeria[FL] > and it didnt crash
[08:05] <santeria[FL] > but it said it couldnt find the 3rd line
[08:05] <santeria[FL] > i think
[08:05] <river> Vuen, and is it likely to slow a session down if wireless is a little slow e.g. when application create temporary files or the like ? or when saving files
[08:05] <chris86wm> totem wont play ogg or theora files. is there anyway to fix this?
[08:06] <chris86wm> says "there is no plugin to handle this movie"
[08:06] <Vuen> river: well sure, i mean there's going to be some delays if you're moving gigantic files (movies, etc). but for saving files like word documents it will be totally transparent
[08:06] <river> dungodunug, if you describe your problem or a ask a more direct question, you are likely for someone to help
[08:07] <Vuen> dungodung: pastebin.ca your fstab
[08:07] <river> Vuen, thanks for your comments...and time...so how does one point all machines and users to the same home ? some trick in /etc/fstab on all machines or some symbolic link trick ?
[08:08] <chris86wm> anyone ?
[08:08] <AsheD> if I were to buy a video game in Italy, would it differ from the same game if purchased in the UK ?
[08:09] <santeria[FL] > i just remembered on the splash screen an option was vga could i do anytihing in that menu that wouldnt give me the line problem
[08:09] <Vuen> river: i actually have no idea how to mount home on a remote drive :(. mounting samba shares as arbitrary folders is easy, but home folders need to be mounted before you log in, so i don't really know.
[08:10] <Vuen> river: you may need to post on the forums to explain in detail what you want. also, if you don't have any windows machines, you'll probably want to use something other than samba
[08:10] <Vuen> AsheD: depends on the game.
[08:10] <dungodung> Vuen: I'm not home right now
[08:10] <AsheD> Vuen:: how about Unreal Anthology ?
[08:10] <santeria[FL] > anyone have any ideas? i thought dapper would work =\
[08:10] <Vuen> dungodung: oh. well, it's a bit difficult to help you if you don't have access to your computer >.<
[08:10] <astro> i need help getting my wireless working :(
[08:11] <Vuen> AsheD: mm, don't know. you'd have to search online for that
[08:11] <river> Vuen, yes all ubuntu boxes :-) how's that getting all the kids learning early :-)
[08:11] <AsheD> Vuen:: I have been, I was looking for some personal testimonies as well
[08:11] <dungodung> vuen: I can basically remember what settings I had
[08:11] <Vuen> river: that's great :)
[08:12] <ecko> is there any way to get Thunderbird to minimize to the tray like Gaim does in ubuntu?
[08:12] <santeria[FL] > =( dapper drake doesnt work it keeps having thouse vertical lines :(
[08:12] <astro> Vuen: do you know alot about getting wireless working in ubuntu?
[08:12] <sanityx> Bah.
[08:12] <Vuen> astro: no, sorry :(. i have an atheros wireless card, and madwifi is built natively in the kernel so i've never needed ndiswrapper
[08:13] <Vuen> so i don't know how to set it up :(
[08:13] <astro> damn :/
[08:13] <astro> i have a POS built in one
[08:13] <astro> that wont seem to fuckin work no matter what i do
[08:13] <Vuen> astro: google the model of your wireless card with the word "ndiswrapper"
[08:13] <astro> i did
[08:13] <astro> and followed the directions there as well
[08:13] <astro> no dice
[08:13] <santeria[FL] > does anyone know how to fix my problem where when ever i try to boot ubuntu from the livecd it shows these colored verticle lines?
[08:13] <astro> i think possibly im doing something wrong, though
[08:15] <astro> brb
[08:15] <astro> Vuen, how do i get the exact model of my card
[08:15] <astro> i forgot how to do that
[08:16] <Vuen> rc-1: Jordan_U apologizes for sending you to a virtual terminal without telling you how to get back. When you press ctrl+alt+f2, to get back press alt+f7
[08:17] <Vuen> astro: in linux, i don't know. if you have windows dual-booted, you can just check there.
[08:17] <rc-1> Vuen: thanks :) a restart fixed and OMFG BERYL IS SO AWESOME
[08:17] <Vuen> hehe, yep
[08:17] <harmental> i've upgraded to edgy and since then i cant create folders with french characters ( )
[08:17] <harmental> any ideas?
[08:17] <Vuen> if you're running beryl, it's best not to go to virtual terminals
[08:18] <harmental> je viens de faire un upgrade  edgy et je ne peut plus creer de dossiers avec de lettre du genre    ....
[08:18] <Vuen> because beryl has a bug where it sometimes hardlocks x when you try to get back to tty7
[08:18] <KenSentMe> !fr | harmental
[08:18] <ubotu> harmental: Allez a #ubuntu-fr ou #kubuntu-fr pour de l'aide et de la discussion en francais.
[08:18] <rc-1> just installed it now, and wow
[08:18] <Vuen> so don't press ctrl+alt+f# while beryl is running
[08:18] <splintax> "Make sure the hostnames for your Windows and Linux partitons are different!"
[08:18] <splintax> hostname = "computer name" in windows, right?
[08:18] <splintax> how do i change my host name :/
[08:18] <harmental> KenSentMe: i know sorry i clicked on the wrong channel......
[08:18] <defrysk> harmental, you know how to work with dead keys ?
[08:18] <KenSentMe> harmental: no problem
[08:19] <splintax> nevermind, worked it out.
[08:19] <elbonzi> Hey all, any experts want to tell me why ndiswrapper freezes my computer?
[08:19] <harmental> my question stands however.....
[08:19] <harmental> defrysk: what?
[08:19] <Jordan_U> rc-1: I had somebody do the same thing to me when I was new and I had to unplug the machine, I should have known better.
[08:19] <MrPoopyPants> elbonzi, because ndiswrapper is generaly crap
[08:19] <defrysk> harmental, us_intl
[08:19] <defrysk> you know the term ?
[08:19] <elbonzi> Mrpoopypants, how do i use my wireless card on edgy without it?
[08:20] <astro> crapola.
[08:20] <FuelB> libgl1-mesa-dev has broken dependencies in edgy
[08:20] <harmental> defrysk: could u be more specific
[08:20] <harmental> ?
[08:20] <MrPoopyPants> elbonzi, you've got the heck out of me, I dont even bother with wireless in linux
[08:20] <MrPoopyPants> after the debacle with ndiswrapper I dont even try
[08:20] <defrysk> harmental, hut a key , then space to get the result like
[08:21] <astro> broadcom 4318
[08:21] <astro> hmm
[08:21] <defrysk> harmental, I guess you do not
[08:22] <iamlindoro> Hi all-- I have installed the openssh-server package on my ubuntu machine, but my attempt to connect to it still time out... is there a config file I am missing or something I am doing wrong?
[08:22] <rc-1> one gripe though, konversation the connect menu wont go away
[08:22] <defrysk>
[08:22] <KenSentMe> iamlindoro: here it works out of the box, no config needed
[08:23] <KenSentMe> iamlindoro: are you sure you use the right ip?
[08:23] <iamlindoro> yep, and it pings just fine... just not ssh
[08:23] <harmental> defrysk: not following you.....i can type special characters....i can even see them in already created folders......but this error pops up when i try to copy or create a new folder with them....
[08:23] <harmental> im using a french keyboard anyways
[08:24] <MrPoopyPants> does it have a lot of meaty pastes made with internal organs?
[08:24] <Arepie> is there any program that could generate my computer .vmx file automaticaly ?
[08:24] <MrPoopyPants> I couldnt believe how many gutpastes they call food over there
[08:24] <iamlindoro> ifconfig on the ubuntu box shows eth0 with an ip of <IP_ADDRESS>, and I try to ssh -l *loginname* <IP_ADDRESS> from another box on the same network and it times out
[08:24] <harmental> and it happens only when i try to do that on external drives....
[08:24] <defrysk> harmental, not sure about that prob but it sounds like a utf8 related prob
[08:25] <harmental> yes....i agree....but don know how to resolve it....is there any way to force ISO8859 when mounting external drives (automatically)?
[08:25] <defrysk> harmental, add nls=utf8 to the drives concerned
[08:26] <harmental> shouldnt i avoid UTF??
[08:26] <defrysk> harmental, in fstab in the options section
[08:26] <defrysk> harmental, no you should use it
[08:26] <harmental> the problem is that im sharing files with a windows box....
[08:26] <MM2> GRRR, I'm getting pissed off with dist-upgrading. I never get it working right :(
[08:27] <defrysk> harmental, UTF8 IS THE WAY TO GO , JUST TRY IT
[08:27] <defrysk> oops caps sorry
[08:27] <harmental> defrysk: so how can i set external drives....?
[08:27] <MM2> gksu "update-manager -c" asks password for ROOT, apt-get dist-upgrade x2 won't start upgrade (http://www.ubuntu.com/download/releasenotes/610)
[08:28] <harmental> i thought fstab was for interan drives only...
[08:28] <Vuen> MM2: gksudo, not gksu
[08:28] <defrysk> harmental how do you mount them when you want to use one ?
[08:28] <MM2> Vuen: docs says so... look at url
[08:28] <Arepie> !vmx
[08:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about vmx - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:28] <Arepie> !vmware
[08:28] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingVMWare
[08:28] <Vuen> MM2: try it with gksudo.
[08:29] <harmental> defrysk: ok...so what lines should i add??
[08:29] <defrysk> nls=utf8
[08:29] <defrysk> as an option when you mount it
[08:29] <Vuen> MM2: gksu asks for the root password, while gksudo asks you for your own password. unless you want to actually set a root password and activate the root account, gksu will never work. i really don't know why they put gksu there instead of gksudo
[08:30] <defrysk> harmental, if its fat32 its just utf8
[08:30] <harmental> defrysk: they are automatically mounted.....
[08:30] <defrysk> harmental, is it fat32 or ntfs ?
[08:30] <harmental> ive tried ticking the utf option ...but the result was the same....
[08:31] <MM2> Vuen: gksudo won't start update-manager :(
[08:31] <harmental> fat32
[08:31] <Vuen> MM2: that's really strange...
[08:31] <Vuen> MM2: okay, well the reason apt-get isn't doing it is because you're probably still set on the dapper repos
[08:31] <Vuen> MM2: sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
[08:31] <Vuen> MM2: s/dapper/edgy/g
[08:31] <Vuen> MM2: :wq
[08:31] <Vuen> MM2: sudo apt-get update
[08:31] <Vuen> then you can dist-upgrade twice.
[08:32] <defrysk> harmental, its an utf8 issue if the drive is mentioned in fstab add utf8 in the options section and restart fstab then with sudo mount -a
[08:33] <defrysk> harmental, if that does not work I do not know
[08:33] <harmental> wait!...my external drive is not on the fstab....
[08:33] <MM2> Vuen: *sigh* there is breezy on repos... Maybe I should upgrade it first :P
[08:33] <defrysk> harmental, usb drive ?
[08:33] <harmental> yes
[08:34] <Vuen> MM2: oh. yeah, you can't go from breezy to dapper
[08:34] <Vuen> err, you can't go from breezy to edgy
[08:34] <defrysk> harmental, sorry not sure how to fix that
[08:34] <Vuen> you have to breezy->dapper->edgy
[08:34] <MM2> Vuen: ty, sorry for troubles... I must then read how to upgrade breezy :/
[08:34] <Vuen> MM2: same thing, only in the sources.list, do s/breezy/dapper/g
[08:35] <Vuen> MM2: honestly though your system will probably be more stable if you just install edgy from scratch
[08:35] <Vuen> i had a lot of problems upgrading from breezy to dapper, and a lot of people had problems upgrading from dapper to edgy
[08:36] <Vuen> especially if you've used tools like automatix, things are pretty much guaranteed to break
[08:36] <apomb> anyone around?
[08:36] <Vuen> edgy is a fantastic release, especially when you get things like Beryl working. it's worth it to do it clean.
[08:36] <Vuen> apomb: yep
[08:36] <MM2> Vuen: I think that too, I haven't use this comps Ubuntu much, because USB kbd and mouse won't work an breezy
[08:36] <Vuen> wow, that sucks
[08:36] <kholerabbit> is edgy metacity compiled for 3d? (see: http://www.gnome.org/start/2.16/notes/en/rnfrontpage.html)
[08:36] <Vuen> do they work in the edgy livecd?
[08:37] <apomb> i need help ... my CD/DVD R/W is not being detected :(
[08:37] <MM2> Vuen: I have not testet, I'll burn install CD and install and try
[08:37] <Vuen> MM2: they will probably work in edgy. download the edgy cd, burn it and boot from it to see if your keyboard and mouse work
[08:37] <Vuen> you don't need to install it to test it
[08:37] <MM2> Vuen: usb kbd and mouse works, if I plug in ps/2 mouse and kbd before boot
[08:37] <Vuen> since dapper, the install cd and the livecd have been combined into one
[08:38] <Vuen> MM2: i have a usb mouse and no ps/2 mouse, and it works fine in dapper and edgy. i'm using it right now.
[08:38] <Vuen> download the desktop cd for edgy and try it out
[08:38] <apomb> my dmesg doesnt even say any ATAPI devices are being loaded
[08:38] <MM2> Vuen: This is HP computer :P
[08:39] <Vuen> if you have a lot of stuff configured in dapper, you can easily backup all your config files: tar -cvzf etc.tar /etc/*
[08:41] <apomb> i just did a fresh install of edgy, and it seems to have disabled ATA support :S
[08:44] <youser> hey can i get xmms to play wmas?
[08:44] <apomb> install the win32codecs
[08:44] <youser> i have
[08:44] <Staz> Hi, what would you guys recommend for sfv checking/creating?
[08:45] <rc-1> just installed beryl :) how do i show the cube, and flip it
[08:45] <apomb> hmmm ... im not very familiar with xmms, sorry youser
[08:45] <Vuen> rc-1: ctrl+alt+left/right
[08:45] <Vuen> or ctrl+alt+leftclickdrag
[08:45] <Cas> Staz: cksfv
[08:45] <youser> thanks anyways
[08:45] <Staz> thanks Cas :)
[08:46] <youser> anyone good with audacity?
[08:46] <apomb> so ... no one knows how to get edgy to detect a CD/DVD R/RW drive?
[08:47] <rc-1> control alt left/right doenst work
[08:47] <Vuen> rc-1: open beryl settings manager, and make sure the Desktop Cube and Cube Rotate plugins are checked
[08:47] <rc-1> k brb
[08:48] <rc-1> yes they are
[08:48] <Vuen> hmm
[08:48] <DarkED> so, how is Edgy?
[08:48] <rc-1> also, it only shows one desktop on lower right
[08:48] <Vuen> and your windows are wobbly?
[08:48] <Vuen> rc-1: are you using kde?
[08:48] <rc-1> yeah its definently on :) and nope just gnome
[08:48] <Vuen> that's really strange.
[08:48] <Vuen> try asking in #beryl
[08:48] <Cas> apomb: what do you mean by "detect"? It's no windows. Check you dmesg if you can find your drive
[08:49] <rc-1> if i click on where the windows should be (on bottom right ) it does rotate tho
[08:49] <Vuen> oh
[08:49] <Vuen> then maybe the keys are just set up wrong
[08:49] <apomb> Cas, dmesg does not find it
[08:49] <Staz> Any faster checkers than cksfv? :) Taking its time.
[08:49] <astro> sigh
[08:49] <Cas> apomb: also, don't you have a /dev/hdx
[08:49] <Vuen> rc-1: try dragging a window over to the border of the screen. does it rotate
[08:49] <Vuen> ?
[08:49] <apomb> yes, its /dev/hda
[08:49] <rc-1> Vuen: yup :)
[08:50] <astro> now my wireless card is not visible in system>admin>networking
[08:50] <Vuen> then the key settings are probably just wrong. you can set up what keys you want to rotate the cube under the Rotate Cube plugin
[08:50] <Cas> apomb: I'm sure there is ATA support in edgy, so it must be a bug or your hardware is broken
[08:50] <apomb> the error is: mount: special device /dev/hdc does not exist
[08:50] <rc-1> ok, thanks
[08:51] <Cas> apomb: what about: hal-device | grep cdrom
[08:51] <DarkED> a question: why cant I pull the channel list on freenode?
[08:51] <apomb> Cas, nothing happens :/
[08:51] <rc-1> says they are ctrl alt right/left
[08:51] <Vuen> hmm. then i'm not sure
[08:52] <Vuen> ask in #beryl or #beryl-dev
[08:52] <astro> i cant figure this out at all :(
[08:52] <Cas> apomb: check if your hardware works (bootcd/windows) and file a bug on launchpad otherwise
[08:53] <apomb> i'll check the connection of the cables... again.
[08:53] <apomb> before i updated, i was able to write, read (obviously) and everything....
[08:54] <apomb> thanks anyway Cas
[08:54] <Cas> apomb: good luck
[08:54] <apomb> thanks
[08:55] <apomb> ima try a reboot
[08:55] <apomb> ... cant hurt
[08:55] <apomb> damn i hate saying that

[08:56] <NewcomerXb> how does fsck work?
[08:56] <NewcomerXb> does it really wreck your files?
[08:57] <NewcomerXb> Im just curious, can everyone hear me?
[08:57] <sF|Xemanth> i have a problem, i have 350 mhz k6-2 comp, which has ram 256+32, should i chooce ubuntu or xubuntu for it
[08:57] <sF|Xemanth> NewcomerXb: no
[08:57] <sF|Xemanth> ;)
[08:58] <NewcomerXb> lol thanks. I havent been replied to much tonight ;)
[08:58] <NewcomerXb> at all actually
[08:58] <rc-1> hmmm no help in #beryl
[08:58] <sF|Xemanth> i have atm xubuntu dapper in it, i'm planning to update it to edgy, but its go* da*n slow
[08:58] <NewcomerXb> I dont get help in the forum either. I must ask bizarre question :<
[08:59] <NewcomerXb> s
[09:00] <NewcomerXb> well. i guess i may as well head out. No one knows how to use fsck?
[09:01] <vintle> hey all
[09:01] <tonyyarusso> NewcomerXb: Sorry, I'm on my way to bed (3AM), but you can read up on the man page if nobody answers soon; I don't know how it works internally, but it looks for some sort of markers about the file system to see if everything is as it should be, and tries to fix it if not.
[09:01] <splintax> i have a problem: i'm now trying to run VMWare in ubuntu, and use it to boot up my windows partition within ubuntu. but as i'm configuring the virtual machine, when i go to specify the disk/partition to boot this VM from, i get "Failed to load partitions for device /dev/sda: Permission denied"
[09:02] <astro> fucking pos :/
[09:02] <tonyyarusso> !language | astro
[09:02] <ubotu> astro: Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[09:02] <astro> sorry
[09:02] <astro> im having a very hard time here i dont know what else to do :/
[09:02] <cew> hai ;)
[09:03] <vintle> umm i dont know much about vmware but did you enable root?
[09:03] <astro> any know any way to help me get wireless setup here on my laptop
[09:03] <splintax> vintle: what do you mean? am i running vmware as root?
[09:03] <tonyyarusso> astro: Have you seen the online docs yet?
[09:03] <astro> yes
[09:04] <jordo2323> I am trying to install Nvidia drivers and it says to kill xwindows.....how?
[09:04] <astro> i googled the wireless card ubuntu and ndiswrapper too
[09:04] <astro> didn't work
[09:04] <tonyyarusso> astro: If none of that sheds any light, maybe try the mailing list.  More eyes will see ie.
[09:04] <astro> :(
[09:04] <vintle> splintax: If permission was denied maybe if you tried to run it as root
[09:04] <astro> the thing im having a problem with now is that I did the steps, but not my wireless card is not under Networks
[09:04] <astro> er Network
[09:05] <astro> i have the wired one and the modem,  but the wireless has vanished
[09:05] <splintax> vintle: okay, i'll try that. how do i edit the launchers in the Applications menu?
[09:05] <jordo2323> Anyone know how to boot Ubuntu into a command line and not into xwindows?
[09:05] <tonyyarusso> jordo2323: Once, or all the time?
[09:05] <jordo2323> tony: just once to install my nvidia drivers
[09:05] <vintle> That Im not sure of but I know when there is a permission denied error it may be because the user acct your using isnt privileged enough.
[09:05] <splintax> jordo2323: sudo init 1 will drop you into the command line
[09:06] <astro> tonyyarusso: would you know how to get my wireless card back into the Networks portion under administration?
[09:06] <splintax> vintle: yes but i'd like to run vmware while logged into my normal account. so i'll probably need to edit the launcher to run as superuser.
[09:06] <vintle> yup
[09:06] <tonyyarusso> jordo2323: You could use the "recovery mode" from grub, which will give you a root command prompt.
[09:06] <vintle> Nvidia guy have you tried using automatix?
[09:06] <jordo2323> I'll try.....brb
[09:07] <tonyyarusso> astro: My wireless worked ootb, so no.
[09:07] <splintax> vintle: what IRC client are you using? it may be useful to get one with tab autocompletion so that you can prefix messages with people's names.
[09:07] <astro> :(
[09:07] <splintax> vintle: that way they're more likely to see what you're saying.
[09:07] <vintle> YEa right now im usung xchat and im new to it ...
[09:08] <splintax> vintle: I'm using Xchat as well. Just start typing someone's name and hit Tab, it should complete the name for you then you can type the rest of your message.
[09:08] <splintax> vintle: see how it highlights messages when i prefix them with your name?
[09:09] <Mantice> I foolishy thought that the ubuntu distribution upgrade was small and Now I cant exit it, what happens if I push the powerbutton or shutdown while its downloading packages ?
[09:10] <vintle> jordo2323: Have you tried automatix?
[09:10] <Mantice> !automatrix
[09:10] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about automatrix - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:10] <Vaske_Car> what I need to be able to watch videos on MetacafeDOTcom
[09:10] <method|> !automatix
[09:10] <ubotu> automatix is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use.
[09:11] <astro> !automatrix bcm4318
[09:11] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about automatrix bcm4318 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[09:12] <Mantice> !shutdownwhiledistributionupgrade
[09:12] <jordo2323> Anyone know how to boot Ubuntu into a command line or kill xwindows?
[09:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about shutdownwhiledistributionupgrade - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:12] <Mantice> Dam !

[09:13] <Mantice> ?
[09:13] <Mantice> Id click the X button but their is no button and I dont know if shutting down my computer will kill every thing.
[09:14] <tonyyarusso> jordo2323: 'sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop' will kill X
[09:14] <tonyyarusso> jordo2323: You have to be in a particular runlevel to install it?  ....why?
[09:14] <dfgas_> anyone got their mic to work on a sblive?
[09:17] <jordo2323> tonyyarusso: Not sure.....it just warns me that I am in runlevel 1 in the install script when booting into recovery mode.....I can continue to install, but I was afraid to do that....
[09:17] <tonyyarusso> jordo2323: Huh.  Don't know the script, so can't explain that.  I gotta get to bed though; good luck.
[09:17] <jordo2323> thanks

[09:20] <bean_> hi, i'm running edgy. just wondering is it safe to install java plugin via firefox's built-in pluginfinder service or should i install it via apt?
[09:22] <DarkMageZ> bean_, install it via apt is best
[09:22] <bean_> DarkMageZ: ok thanks
[09:23] <bean_> DarkMageZ: btw, do u know what's the difference between blackdown's and sun's java?
[09:23] <Arepie> !vmware
[09:23] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository. Instructions to install VMWare Server can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingVMWare
[09:23] <bean_> !Metaverse
[09:23] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about Metaverse - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:23] <another> how do i make keyboard shortcuts to start apps?
[09:24] <DarkMageZ> bean_, not exactly, but people have less problems with sun's java
[09:24] <bean_> Dark_Bahamut, ok so your recommendation is sun's java?
[09:25] <boky> i'd seted firewall, but i can't go to the internet from LAN when I'm using static IP address?
[09:26] <boky> does someone know how i can approuch to internet from LAN only when i'm using DHCP address on LAN?
[09:26] <bean_> DarkMageZ, thanks
[09:26] <Commander|movie> hoe do you turn on DMA?
[09:26] <Commander|movie> !dma
[09:26] <ubotu> dma is Direct Memory Access/Addressing. It makes hard disks & optical drives transfer data faster, and is almost always enabled in Ubuntu 6.06. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA
[09:26] <Commander|movie> how*
[09:27] <DarkMageZ> bean_, yeah, i'm recommending sun's java. everyone seems to write their apps against it
[09:27] <bean_> DarkMageZ, ok thanks
[09:28] <michiel_> hello, I have some devices running in RAID 1 with dmraid, but because dmraid is causing system crashes, I want to remove it.

[09:31] <mikeymike-linux_> its saying i cant open the display
[09:31] <mikeymike-linux_> how do i do this?
[09:31] <frandavid100> happens even after reinstalling the system, and doesn't happen to other users
[09:31] <mikeymike-linux_> this was the command to start vino /usr/lib/vino/vino-server --oaf-activate-iid=OAFIID:GNOME_RemoteDesktopServer --oaf-ior-fd=17
[09:31] <mikeymike-linux_> can ANYONE tell me how to restart it remotely

[09:34] <mikeymike-linux_> cant i tell it to open
[09:34] <mikeymike-linux_> somehow?
[09:34] <splintax> mikeymike-linux_: i don't know anything about vino so there probably is a way
[09:34] <mikeymike-linux_> man vino-server yields a bunch of crap
[09:34] <splintax> is there a support IRC channel for vino? maybe try joining that
[09:34] <mikeymike-linux_> havent found one

[09:48] <Arepie> mzli.. i have install qemu from synaptic..but how can i run it?
[09:48] <Burgundavia> olopez: likely a bug. I suggest you file one
[09:49] <mzli>  qemu-img create xp.img 5G
[09:49] <mzli> qemu -hda xp.img -cdrom /dev/cdrom -boot d
[09:49] <MM2> Darn, edgys liveCD did not regocnized my usb kbd or mouse, and lang setting are all wrong
[09:49] <mzli> qemu -hda xp.img
[09:50] <olopez> Burgundavia: is these bug reported ?
[09:50] <mzli> Arepie>just this 3 orders.
[09:50] <MM2> so if I Install it, will my usb kbd or mouse work
[09:50] <jokoon> How can I restore my cherokee perms with gnu vino instead of forwarding ssh throught synaptic, can't /dev/gnu just work with it ?
[09:50] <Burgundavia> olopez: not certain. I would check launchpad
[09:52] <olopez> ok
[09:52] <jc-denton> hi
[09:52] <jc-denton> how can i compile a module for the kernel shipped with ubuntu edgy?
[09:53] <mikeymike-linux_> i accidentally killed vino from ssh and i want to restart it remotely
[09:53] <mikeymike-linux_> i get 'cannot open display' errors
[09:53] <mikeymike-linux_> how do i do this?
[09:54] <jc-denton> i just tried to build a hello world module, but no success so far
[09:55] <dorto> these two wireless usb network cards are available at the shop: D-Link DWL G122 && Linksys WUSB54G.
[09:55] <dorto> which one should I take for better support on ubuntu?

[09:59] <noelvis> Hi there
[09:59] <spook> hello
[09:59] <jc-denton> to be honest
[09:59] <noelvis> Can anyone point me to the help files on Adept
[09:59] <jc-denton> i don't really have to an idea how to build it
[09:59] <dorto> olopez, cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep edgy | head -n 1
[09:59] <dorto> substitue edgy with dapper etc if that is what you want
[10:00] <jc-denton> but according to the kernel documentation make -C <path-to-kernel> M=`pwd` should be enough
[10:00] <olopez> ok dorto y do finally cat /etc/issue ;)
[10:00] <jokoon> I have some icon and it appears to be in 32bits, and I want to convert it in 24bits keeping the alpha channels, is it -possible- ? (... to do with gimp for example)
[10:00] <jc-denton> can i use the kernel-headers as <path-to-kernel> ?
[10:00] <jokoon> Or 16bits
[10:01] <dorto> never heard about /etc/issue
[10:01] <olopez> Burgundavia: It wasn't like bug , i submit it
[10:02] <jc-denton> but that's what i get
[10:02] <jc-denton> make: *** arch/i386/boot: No such file or directory.  Stop.
[10:02] <olopez> dorto:  issue - pre-login message and identification file ;)
[10:04] <Anev> ;;
[10:04] <noelvis> Anyone?
[10:04] <jc-denton> maybe i need to ask different
[10:04] <jc-denton> how can i compile this example on edgy: http://tldp.org/LDP/lkmpg/2.6/html/x121.html ?
[10:05] <zerosmoke> j
[10:05] <jordo2323> Why would Azureus not start if I installed Sun's Java and the Azureus package?
[10:06] <jc-denton> because java is set to something else then suns java
[10:06] <jc-denton> ?
[10:06] <jordo2323> jc-denton: How do I update that?
[10:06] <jordo2323> I thought I already did with use-alternatives....
[10:06] <jc-denton> sudo update-alternatives --config java
[10:06] <delari> hey
[10:06] <delari> does anyone here use firefo
[10:06] <delari> x
[10:06] <jc-denton> then it must work
[10:07] <Daverocks> delari: yes ;)
[10:07] <jordo2323> jc-denton: I already did that and it shows set to #2 Sun's java
[10:07] <delari> have u seen this site? :O
[10:07] <zerosmoke> delari, yes
[10:07] <delari> http://www.msfirefox.com
[10:07] <jordo2323> When I select Azureus under the menu option nothing happens...
[10:08] <jordo2323> jc-denton: Do I have to restart after this change?
[10:08] <aldin> hi, i need LAMP, is there ubuntu CD 4download which has this packages
[10:08] <g1gaman> gentlemen, can anybody help me to set keyboard shortcuts in ubuntu (e.g. open nautilus with winkey+E)
[10:09] <delari> are you using a windows keyboard
[10:09] <lance_> aldin, You mean Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP?
[10:09] <jc-denton> jordo2323: you mean reboot? no
[10:10] <jordo2323> jc-denton: Yeah....didn't think so.....any ideas?
[10:10] <jc-denton> no it's supposed to work now
[10:10] <jc-denton> java apps work w/o problemes for me on edgy
[10:10] <jordo2323> I get an error message when running from command line......can I pastebin to you?
[10:10] <dorto> aldin, you can download and install them over internet from Synaptic package manager
[10:10] <dorto> instead of downloading a CD
[10:11] <dorto> or get Ubuntu Server
[10:11] <zerosmoke> finally got my motorola wireless pc card working on edgy
[10:11] <aldin> is this joke msfirefox.com
[10:11] <dorto> aldin, yes, joke, what else?
[10:11] <g1gaman> who are the main ubuntu experts online now?
[10:12] <jordo2323> jc-denton: http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/820291
[10:12] <mikeymike-linux_> why is my vino-server man pages messed up? and how do i fix it?
[10:12] <msfirefox> its quite a hoot
[10:12] <jc-denton> looks like an swt problem
[10:12] <g1gaman> gentlemen, can anybody help me to set keyboard shortcuts in ubuntu (e.g. open nautilus with winkey+E)
[10:12] <jc-denton> sry i really don't know
[10:13] <g1gaman> sorry for abuse
[10:13] <msfirefox-com> g1gaman: have you checked google?
[10:13] <msfirefox-com> theres heaps of tutorials
[10:13] <jordo2323> Does anyone here run Nvidia GPU's under ubuntu?
[10:13] <Cromag> windows keys and capslock doesnt should not be on a keyboard.
[10:13] <g1gaman> msfirefox-com: yes, but i cant get the helpful result
[10:13] <Daverocks> jordo2323: yeah
[10:14] <g1gaman> Cromag: so, what is your shortcut to home folder?
[10:14] <SilentDis> hello :)
[10:14] <jordo2323> Daverocks: Is there a driver management menu like in windows if I installed the driver?
[10:15] <Daverocks> jordo2323: there's "nvidia-settings" which is similar to the one in the windows nvidia drivers, but i don't think it's particularly helpful
[10:15] <jordo2323> How do I control the cards outputs then?
[10:15] <msfirefox-com> tell me,
[10:15] <msfirefox-com> are there any beginners using Ubuntu
[10:15] <g1gaman> Cromag: and capslock is very helpful in editing text, when titles should be uppercase
[10:15] <jordo2323> I have my 6800 hooked into my TV through Svideo...
[10:16] <msfirefox-com> no idea of linux whatsoever etc
[10:16] <g1gaman> msfirefox-com: consider me as one
[10:16] <Daverocks> jordo2323: nvidia-settings is probably your best bet for effects and ways to display etc, but if it concerns multiple displays and display control, then that's just X configuration
[10:17] <Cromag> capslock should go away. Shift button is there.
[10:17] <SilentDis> not truely a tech support question... more of a search for a tool to help me.  I am looking for a tool that allows me to batch convert a number of audio files through lame, hopefully reading out the mp3 tags first, and passing them to the new file.  anyone herd of such a tool?  (not grip, it seems to just work if it's coming from CD audio, unless I'm missing something)
[10:17] <zerosmoke> is there a linux equivalent of raid?
[10:17] <dorto> how to copy the text from "Details" box in "Changes Applied" window in Synaptic manager?
[10:18] <g1gaman> Cromag: are you typing uppercase with only one hand?
[10:18] <dorto> C-c, C-S-c, right click, nothing are working
[10:18] <zerosmoke> got ants crawling on my desk
[10:18] <zerosmoke> lol
[10:18] <msfirefox-com> got women crawling on me
[10:19] <msfirefox-com> *rolleyes
[10:19] <SilentDis> rofl
[10:19] <jordo2323> If I just installed Ubuntu to a blank system, how can I partition the rest of my hard drive for windows?
[10:19] <Cromag> g1gaman: yes ?
[10:19] <msfirefox-com> jordo2323: click 'Next'
[10:19] <SilentDis> jordo2323:  you have unpartitioned space?
[10:19] <Daverocks> jordo2323: it's easiest to install windows first
[10:20] <SilentDis> jordo2323: i agree with Daverocks.  but, having said that, it's not impossible.
[10:20] <g1gaman> Cromag: you found that style smart?
[10:21] <Cromag> for me yes
[10:21] <jordo2323> Daverocks: When I install Windows first do I partition the linux part there or in Ubuntu's installer?
[10:22] <zerosmoke> why not just switch all the way over to linux?
[10:22] <Daverocks> jordo2323: you wouldn't partition it from windows. you'd finish installing windows, then i'd use something like gparted to resize your windows partition, or you could do it from the ubuntu installer
[10:23] <SilentDis> jordo2323:  I installed as follows:  WinXP, gave it 20gb of the drive.  then installed ubuntu, gave it the remaining 90gb.  during the linux install, setup the 2nd drive with [5gb swap]  [25gb /media/ostransfer as vfat]  [200gb /home ext3]
[10:23] <jordo2323> Daverocks: Yeah....thats kind of what I thought.....I have a 75 GB drive......what partitions do I need?
[10:24] <SilentDis> zerosmoke:  i have been asking myself that question as of late.  i haven't booted my windows partition in nearly 2 months lol
[10:25] <Daverocks> jordo2323: depends how much space you want for windows, and how much you want for linux
[10:25] <msfirefox-com> may i ask
[10:25] <msfirefox-com> why the switch to Ubuntu
[10:25] <msfirefox-com> what made you change over
[10:26] <SilentDis> quick question:  anyone know of a gnome-compatible front-end to LAME?  i'd like to batch convert a bunch of MP3s for use in a device that doesn't have great support.  (i encode to 224vbs normally, car/work mp3-cd players need 128cbr to function well)
[10:26] <zerosmoke> noop
[10:26] <jordo2323> Daverocks:  Is that all I have to is shrink the NTFS partition and add a EXT3?
[10:26] <zerosmoke> google 'er
[10:27] <SilentDis> msfirefox-com:  stability, familiarity with *nix (been using a BSD server for years), finally saw that everything I needed was on linux (well, other than a batch mp3 converter, lol)
[10:27] <alumno> yee
[10:27] <Daverocks> jordo2323: if it's a blank hard drive, you don't need to shrink the NTFS partition, you can just say, make a 30 GB (or any other size) partition before you start and install windows onto that, then you can just make another partition for ubuntu
[10:28] <jordo2323> Daverocks: you rock
[10:28] <Daverocks> jordo2323: thanks :P
[10:28] <zerosmoke> i almost did dual boot on 20gigs but said what the heck and just did ubuntu
[10:29] <SilentDis> zerosmoke: that is a bit small for my tastes as well, had i been limited, i probably would have done the same :)
[10:29] <jordo2323> Daverocks: any Idea why when I click on Azureus it doesn't do anything if I have sun's java selected?
[10:29] <Daverocks> jordo2323: i'm not familiar with the azureus package on ubuntu but the main azureus starter should be a bash script
[10:30] <Daverocks> well, i was going to help him further :P
[10:30] <zerosmoke> probably had server issues
[10:31] <zerosmoke> his folks unplugged the router cause the blinking lights were bothering them
[10:31] <msfirefox-com> Daverocks: he didn't like y
[10:31] <msfirefox-com> ou
[10:31] <Flannel> jordo2323: run it in a terminal, see what errors it gives you
[10:31] <msfirefox-com> wait, he does coz he's back
[10:31] <jordo2323> Flannel: I will pastebin....hold
[10:31] <Daverocks> lol wb jordo
[10:31] <CarinArr> hey i'm having some problems with my packages.. I was installing some packages, ran out of battery, when I started back up again, everything is fine apart from the fbpager package is broken, trying to remove it synaptic just hangs at "removing fbpager ..."
[10:32] <CarinArr> or rather it doesn't hang.. the application is still running.. but it never gets further
[10:32] <SilentDis> CarinArr: you should be ok reverting to the backup package list.
[10:32] <CarinArr> silentdis, how do i do that?
[10:33] <jordo2323> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/820302
[10:33] <SilentDis> CarinArr: let me look up the files for you.  I *THINK* dapper and edgy are the same on this.
[10:33] <CarinArr> silentdis, okay, thanks
[10:34] <zerosmoke> i would be interested to know
[10:34] <jordo2323> Daverocks:  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/820302
[10:34] <zerosmoke> i almost ran out of battery running back to my apt from the cafe
[10:34] <jordo2323> Flannel:  http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/820302
[10:34] <zerosmoke> while it was installing
[10:34] <Flannel> jordo2323: and, you're sure you're using suns java?
[10:34] <zerosmoke> :P
[10:34] <zerosmoke> it's called living on the edge
[10:34] <CarinArr> heh
[10:35] <zerosmoke> no pun intended
[10:35] <CarinArr> it's called annoying now;)
[10:35] <jordo2323> I installed sun-java5-jre
[10:35] <jordo2323> I went by the dapper instructions....
[10:35] <CarinArr> jordo2323, did you configure alternatives?
[10:35] <jordo2323> CarinArr:  Shows I did.....
[10:35] <jordo2323> CarinArr:  It says option 2 or Sun's Java is selected
[10:35] <CarinArr> jordo2323, what does "which java" do
[10:35] <Flannel> jordo2323: just to make sure, do a 'java -version'
[10:36] <CarinArr> or yeah.. that
[10:36] <SilentDis> CarinArr: you should find /etc/apt/sources.list and /etc/apt/sources.list~
[10:36] <CarinArr> silentdis, okay
[10:36] <CarinArr> just copy ~ ?
[10:36] <SilentDis> you'll probably wanna just sudo su, as you require root access.
[10:36] <Flannel> no, you'll want to use sudo
[10:36] <jordo2323> Flannel:   java version "1.5.0_08"
[10:36] <SilentDis> good point flannel
[10:37] <Daverocks> "sudo -i" is a better way to get an interactive root shell
[10:37] <CarinArr> anyhow
[10:37] <SilentDis> CarinArr:  sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup
[10:37] <SilentDis> CarinArr:  sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list~ /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:38] <CarinArr> i don't have a sources.list~
[10:38] <CarinArr> i have a sources.list.save
[10:38] <Flannel> jordo2323: that sounds like suns version.  You'll have to ask the azuerus people (or maybe check the ubuntu forums?)  it's an error with azureus.
[10:38] <SilentDis> CarinArr:  edgy or dapper?
[10:38] <CarinArr> edgy
[10:38] <jordo2323> Flannel: Wierd....
[10:38] <cpk1> installing nvidia-settings breaks nvidia-glx right?
[10:38] <SilentDis> CarinArr:  i'm still running dapper, that's probably right.
[10:38] <Flannel> CarinArr: that's fine.  the ~ is a backup version made through certain methods
[10:38] <CarinArr> so should i copy the .save to sources.list?
[10:39] <jordo2323> Flannel: Is Azureus the best torrent client to use under linux?
[10:39] <SilentDis> CarinArr:  I would recommend backing up the old one, just in case.
[10:39] <CarinArr> on my two other machines things are running perfectly
[10:39] <CarinArr> yeah i've backed i tup
[10:39] <CarinArr> do i have to do anything else?
[10:40] <SilentDis> CarinArr:  yes, then just sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.save /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:40] <CarinArr> done
[10:40] <SilentDis> CarinArr:  relaunch and should be good.
[10:40] <Flannel> jordo2323: probably not.  There are non java options that'll probably give you better prformance, I imagine theyre not as pretty though, but it all depends on what youre looking for in a torrent client
[10:40] <CarinArr> right, ta muchly
[10:40] <jordo2323> Flannel: ever use Ktorrent?
[10:41] <SilentDis> I take it no one's herd of a batch GUI interface for LAME? :(
[10:41] <Flannel> jordo2323: Nope.  I don't have a GUI, so I use btdownloadcurses or btlaunchmanycurses ;)
[10:42] <CarinArr> hmm.. fbpager still shows as broken
[10:42] <CarinArr> but it actually removed it now when i asked it to
[10:42] <CarinArr> wahey
[10:42] <CarinArr> *does happy dance*
[10:43] <SilentDis> CarinArr: :)  that works.  just make sure it isn't corrupted in your packages repository, and you can probably reinstall it :)
[10:43] <MikeDK> hi all
[10:43] <CarinArr> well i don't actually need it, so i'll steer clear;)
[10:44] <Spee_Der> Hi Mike
[10:45] <SilentDis> might have solved my problems, in a roundabout way...  gonna check something.
[10:45] <MikeDK> Spee_Der, hi solved my prob with the systray icon
[10:46] <Spee_Der> It stays put does it ?
[10:46] <danielinu> Hi, I have a problem installing ubuntu Edgy Eft on a Dell PowerEdge because when I'm at the first reboot during the installation after the "Please stand by while rebooting the system." the computer doesn't do nothing.
[10:46] <SilentDis> damn, that didn't work.  crashes wine when i launch it rofl
[10:46] <MikeDK> Spee_Der, didnt see the statys-icon i have in danish
[10:46] <MikeDK> Spee_Der, didnt see the statys-icon i have in danis
[10:46] <haydenAU> how do i install nvidia drivers on edgy?
[10:47] <MikeDK> Spee_Der, yep it stays put
[10:47] <Ayabara> in a dual boot system with edgy & xp, grub stops working everytime I have visited windows. I understand that this is a know bug, but is there a workaround/fix for it?
[10:48] <haydenAU> !nvidia
[10:48] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[10:49] <jordo2323> Flannel: Is this suns version of java? http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/820305   ???
[10:49] <Spee_Der> MikeDK: All I need to do now is get the 2nd video port working, but I am not quite enough awake yet....
[10:49] <dreamer> hi all, I'm reinstalling ubuntu right now so I can make an extended partition containing a primary for the OS and a 2nd for swap, but in the partitioner I can't make a extended partition
[10:49] <dreamer> is this because the isk allready has an extended partition? (windows seems to be in an extended)
[10:49] <SilentDis> haydenAU: sudo apt-get nvidia-glx linux-restricted-modules-<your kernel version>
[10:50] <SilentDis> haydenAU: sorry.  sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx linux-restricted-modules-<your kernel version>
[10:50] <cbx33> guys does network-manager work on xfce?
[10:50] <haydenAU> SilentDis, thanks alot
[10:50] <SilentDis> haydenAU: after that completes: sudo nvidia-glx-config enable
[10:51] <haydenAU> SilentDis, Ok
[10:51] <Spee_Der> dreamer: I wonder, do you have to sudo qparted for it to work correctly ?
[10:51] <dreamer> Spee_Der: I'm in the Live-CD-install-mode right now ..
[10:51] <Spee_Der> oic
[10:51] <SilentDis> haydenAU:  after that, should just need a gnome restart.  if it breaks, you'll need to reconfigure x to use it.
[10:51] <Spee_Der> Just a thought.... I gave up for now on dual boot.
[10:51] <MikeDK> HaydenAU this link here for the Nvidia driver but if u look like a big ? then dont use it
[10:52] <dreamer> hmm
[10:52] <SilentDis> haydenAU: sorry, again.  an X restart.  it has been a long day.  lol
[10:52] <MikeDK> HaydenAU https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper
[10:52] <MikeDK> HaydenAU https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Latest_Nvidia_Dapper
[10:52] <Spee_Der> Matter of fact, I only use Ubuntu on this machine.... lol
[10:52] <dreamer> wel the problem originally was that I already have 4 primary partitions, so I couldn't make an extra swap-partition
[10:52] <Spee_Der> wow
[10:52] <Spee_Der> How big is the disk ?
[10:52] <MikeDK> HaydenAU this is for dapper only ill look for a link for edgy if i can find one
[10:53] <haydenAU> yea i had the driver installed on dapper, but it broke when i upgraded to edgy
[10:53] <dreamer> Spee_Der: 300gb
[10:53] <Spee_Der> phew
[10:53] <MikeDK> HaydenAU rgr that
[10:53] <Spee_Der> further study on dual boot setup is in order I'd say
[10:53] <dreamer> but, let me explain: first partiotion is extended, 15gb  with in it a primary windows, then 15gbfor ubuntu, then 200 ntfs primary and 50 ntfs primary
[10:54] <Spee_Der> Anyone here using Enlightenmetn with success ?
[10:54] <dreamer> but, I can resize the windows partition to make room for swap apperantly
[10:54] <MikeDK> Spee_Der, why dual-boot :-))))
[10:54] <wombo> Does Ubuntu come with LVM in the kernel by default?
[10:54] <dreamer> but I cant't make that 15gb for ubuntu into an extended for that
[10:54] <Spee_Der> wombo: I beleive it does.
[10:54] <wombo> it is saying that it cant find PVCREATE
[10:55] <CarinArr> hmm
[10:55] <Spee_Der> MikeDK: Yeh huh. I have only 120 G and it is all Ubuntu, no this computer anyway.
[10:55] <MikeDK> Spee_Der, thou i have an XP-machine right by my side side but considering installing ubuntu on that one or maybe Gentoo
[10:55] <CarinArr> now my synaptic seems to be hanging at "setting up java-common"
[10:55] <wombo> ive never built an LVM before, working from this howto http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-24.html
[10:55] <SilentDis> CarinArr: doh
[10:55] <CarinArr> without anything crashing and i wasn't trying to install that before
[10:56] <Spee_Der> Mikes_: This machine is dual 733 Mhz CPU with Ubuntu only.
[10:56] <KomiaPoika> hi
[10:56] <CarinArr> so it's completely clean install
[10:56] <KomiaPoika> what package do i have to install to enable smime validation in kmail?
[10:56] <MikeDK> Spee_Der, nice
[10:56] <Spee_Der> MikeDK: The 2nd computer is dual 550 Mhz CPU's and four 9.1 G SCSI drives dedicated to running only SETIATHOME.
[10:57] <SilentDis> CarinArr:  i am not familiar enough with the debian system to provide a suggestion for this, possibly someone else can chime in?
[10:57] <Spee_Der> THey are linked with Linksys router then through cable modem.
[10:57] <MikeDK> Spee_Der, considering buying a MacBook pro 15" or 17"
[10:57] <CarinArr> synaptic is flashing at me on the task bar as well but i don't normally use gnome so i don't know if means anything;)
[10:57] <Spee_Der> Nice !
[10:58] <MikeDK> Spee_Der, know there's porbs with the ubuntu on the Mac's buut love the Mac-design :-))
[10:58] <manmadha> Is there any built in software to do flash programs....like html editors...........>>>????
[10:58] <SilentDis> CarinArr:  as a side note, i have yet to find a linux box that needed to have a 'completely clean install' in order to fix something, unless the kernel was totally toast and you couldn't extract it from a disk somewhere ;)
[10:59] <Spee_Der> MikeDK: With all the support in Ubuntu and Linux per se, there should be little to no problems.....
[10:59] <dreamer> aaarg, howcome you can only make 1 extended partition :S
[10:59] <dreamer> because my disk already has one :S
[10:59] <Spee_Der> MikeDK: I'd love to have a mobile wireless for all the driving I'm doing these days.
[11:00] <SilentDis> dreamer: you can only have 1 extended partition, and logical partitions go INSIDE that.
[11:00] <manmadha> any body there?
[11:00] <dreamer> SilentDis: I think I have a solution, but I lose 1gb of the unallocated space I allready have :/
[11:00] <SilentDis> manmadha: what are you looking for?  a WYSIWYG HTML editor?
[11:00] <MikeDK> Spee_Der, agree that would be nice
[11:00] <metalhen> Hi. anybody using ldap (libnss_ldap) with edgy? I get ldap timeouts on every system bootup - it seems like upstart starts something using ldap before configuring network connection
[11:00] <dreamer> I resize my windows with 1gb for swap
[11:01] <KomiaPoika> smime is greyed out in kmail, what packages do i miss to get them enabled?
[11:02] <Spee_Der> Yeh.....
[11:02] <IBNx451> Hey all I have a question .... can anyone tell me what the heck this here means >>> STOP 0x000000ED UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME
[11:03] <manmadha> SilentDis, i want the tool like screem html/xml editor
[11:04] <SilentDis> manmadha: i have not done any flash work myself.  i usually stick to php/mysql coding with my html, and for that i just use text editors.  possibly someone can suggest a flash development environment for linux?
[11:05] <manmadha> SilentDis, i have heard that there is no flash development in linux...
[11:05] <Mantice> Where can I get a Unrarer..... ??????
[11:05] <Mantice> I found a command line unrarer but I couldent get it to work.
[11:05] <SilentDis> Mantice:  command line should just be called unrar
[11:06] <Staz> I'm mounting a samba share in fstab, why is it I can ONLY write to the mounted share if I have uid=1000?
[11:06] <Staz> why is that necessary
[11:06] <Mantice> I couldent get it to locate the archive.
[11:06] <SilentDis> Mantice:  sudo apt-get install unrar
[11:06] <Mantice> Ive got it installed I dont know how to use it
[11:06] <Daverocks> IBNx451: how did you get that message?
[11:06] <SilentDis> Mantice:  type unrar --help :)
[11:06] <Mantice> I did. I dident understand the instructions
[11:07] <Mantice> I have unrar-free
[11:07] <SilentDis> Mantice:  let me install and take a gander
[11:09] <SilentDis> Mantice: should be able to type unrar-free archive.rar /path/to/extract/to
[11:10] <etdsdvgfhrtz> its a me
[11:10] <rubso> Hey guys, where can i get Real Player for Edgy?
[11:11] <elbonzi> does anyone here know anything about programming in C?
[11:11] <rubso> elbonzi: www.cprogramming.com
[11:11] <elbonzi> ive been trying to find it on there actually but its a weird question
[11:11] <SilentDis> elbonzi: only enough to cause major horrible problems with code making changes that i THOUGHT should work and thus costing me 4 days of banging my head against before I finally give up.
[11:12] <elbonzi> haha
[11:12] <Flannel> elbonzi: #ubuntu-offtopic, or ##C
[11:12] <apokryphos> rubso: please check the FAQ
[11:13] <rubso> apokryphos: i did, Realplayer is availabe for Dapper only through Canonical Commercial Repository.
[11:13] <SilentDis> rubso: you need to download it from the realplayer website, I believe.
[11:13] <Mantice> SilentDis that did not work.
[11:14] <SilentDis> Mantice: what error did you get?
[11:14] <rubso> SilentDis: better solution please !
[11:14] <Mantice> Well you know how you point the dir to extract to.
[11:14] <SilentDis> rubso: mmm... *does a search for ffmpeg to convert .rm files to .mpegs* :P
[11:14] <CarinArr> grrrr
[11:14] <etdsdvgfhrtz> where to get hacker toolz for ubuntu?
[11:14] <Mantice> It thought thats were the rar file was.
[11:14] <rubso> SilentDis: to MP3?
[11:15] <CarinArr> so it just hang on installing java
[11:15] <CarinArr> so i had to kill it
[11:15] <CarinArr> and now it hangs on removing the part installed stuff
[11:15] <apokryphos> rubso: and it doesn't work on edgy? I recommend compiling it from source then.
[11:16] <CarinArr> *cries a little*
[11:16] <SilentDis> rubso:  i am not sure if that's even possible... though I've seen ffmpeg scripts that handle youtube movies, so it's not outside the realm of possibility :P
[11:16] <rubso> apokryphos: lol, Real Player is not open source software. its a commercial one.
[11:16] <rubso> SilentDis: indeed.
[11:16] <DarkMageZ> rubso, there are much better opensource players available for linux
[11:16] <apokryphos> rubso: whoop, I realised just after posting. I mean getting the tar.gz and firing up the binary
[11:16] <Mantice> SilentDis Dont worry It seams when you install the non free version file roller can extract them.
[11:17] <soundray> ssh-agent stopped working for me when I upgraded to edgy. Any ideas why & how to fix?
[11:17] <apokryphos> rubso: and you can also have other players play realmedia
[11:17] <SilentDis> Mantice:  that works
[11:17] <rubso> apokryphos: then that's what i'm going to do after all. but ... but.... Packages would be cool.
[11:17] <rubso> apokryphos: i know, my Default kubunt media player could play RMs but plays 3gp without sound.
[11:17] <etdsdvgfhrtz> where to get hacker toolz for ubuntu?
[11:18] <apokryphos> !code | etdsdvgfhrtz
[11:18] <ubotu> etdsdvgfhrtz: Programming editors/suites: Terminal-based: vi/vim, emacs; KDE: Kate, KDevelop, Quanta+, Umbrello; GNOME: gvim, gedit, eclipse, pida
[11:18] <SilentDis> a final check for my problem, as so many have come and gone:  anyone know of a batch 'converter' of sorts for MP3s?  looking for basically a batch interface for LAME with ID3 tag support.
[11:18] <etdsdvgfhrtz> no, i want hacker toolz
[11:18] <Mantice> How do you run a .sh file ???
[11:18] <etdsdvgfhrtz> not programming toolz
[11:18] <Flannel> etdsdvgfhrtz: those are hacking tools.
[11:18] <Mantice> from console ?
[11:18] <dooglus> Mantice: with bash or sh
[11:18] <rubso> Mantice: sh blah.sh
[11:18] <etdsdvgfhrtz> i want to hack a friend
[11:18] <apokryphos> etdsdvgfhrtz: for "hacking" people? No, please do not ask here.
[11:18] <dooglus> Mantice: "bash file.sh"
[11:18] <Flannel> etdsdvgfhrtz: if you want cracking tools, then... you've already got it:  telnet.  Have fun.
[11:19] <etdsdvgfhrtz> whats telnet?
[11:19] <Flannel> the only cracking tool you
[11:19] <Flannel> you'll ever need
[11:19] <dooglus> etdsdvgfhrtz: if you don't know what telnet is, then I don't think you're really ready for 'hacking people'
[11:19] <Daverocks> telnet makes basic TCP connections
[11:19] <etdsdvgfhrtz> hm?
[11:19] <SilentDis> etdsdvgfhrtz:  axes work best, as the human structure is quite soft for the most part.  bring the axe up and down in a very fast motion over said friend.  :D
[11:19] <etdsdvgfhrtz> i just need msn hack
[11:19] <etdsdvgfhrtz> or icq hack
[11:19] <Daverocks> lol Silent
[11:19] <Mantice> Thanks
[11:20] <Spee_Der> Time to get ready for work, later all...
[11:20] <etdsdvgfhrtz> do not you have msn hack?
[11:20] <DarkMageZ> etdsdvgfhrtz, why do you think people in the ubuntu channel would help you with hacking? try something like hackthissite.org
[11:20] <etdsdvgfhrtz> oh
[11:20] <apokryphos> etdsdvgfhrtz: now, please stop :)
[11:20] <etdsdvgfhrtz> you were not op before!

[11:27] <coz_> soundray, my suggestion will be irritating however, I never suggest an upgrade from one version to another, the errors can be potentially damaging, I always suggest a clean install, there will be thoses here that disagree with me

[11:29] <soundray> SilentDis: you don't mean zenity, or do you?
[11:29] <SilentDis> soundray: zenity, that's it, thank you :)
[11:29] <coz_> soundray, sorry guy
[11:30] <SilentDis> soundray:  this will be a bit of an undertaking for me.  ah well, always a good way to learn.  necessity is the mother of invention :)
[11:30] <rubso> Realplayer installed > mission accomplished.
[11:30] <SilentDis> rubso: yay!  did you pull a .deb from their homepage or the like?
[11:30] <apokryphos> rubso: with the binary?
[11:31] <rubso> SilentDis, apokryphos: yes with the binary.
[11:31] <apokryphos> rubso: and 3gp files work well there?
[11:31] <SilentDis> rubso:  good to know for future refrence :)
[11:32] <rubso> yes it works well.
[11:32] <rubso> btw, guys you should give Flash Player 9 a try, its totally better than the old one.
[11:33] <visik7> I've a problem with edgy and a custom kernel : I've build my custom kernel with the same configure of 2.6.17-10-generic and add only one option ( Compile the kernel with debug info ) and I hadn't remove anything, all works fine slash screen and all the peripherals but if I boot in console nothing is visible expect a blinking cursor and resolution 1400x1050 (setuped via vga=0x348 at kernel boot parameters) doesn't working
[11:33] <neil__> rubso: it still crashes occasionally
[11:33] <hastesaver> How does one extract images from a PDF file?
[11:33] <rubso> neil_: i tried once in Dapper Drake "Ubuntu" and it was crashing like ****
[11:34] <hastesaver> There is a commandline tool called pdfimages, which is part of xpdf.utils, but it never seems to work
[11:34] <SilentDis> hastesaver:  i *think* you can copy them with the reader util... otherwise, you're doing a screen cap and editing it in gimp, i'm sorry to say.
[11:34] <rubso> now it crashes less in Edgy cuz its still a beta, but the video and audio is better in fp9
[11:34] <dooglus> hastesaver: I've only ever done it by taking a screenshot
[11:34] <knix> Can anyone recommend a good external sata drive tower that can hold 6+ drives?
[11:35] <jokoon> ubotu you are so sexy
[11:35] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about you are so sexy - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:35] <SilentDis> ROFL!
[11:35] <hastesaver> SilentDis, dooglus: thanks
[11:35] <SilentDis> your ovations of lust are apparently wasted, jokoon *giggle*
[11:36] <jokoon> excuse did you just speak english ?
[11:37] <Curuxz> Hey all :)
[11:37] <coz_> Curuxz, welcome
[11:37] <Curuxz> I want some advice from you lot on 'pimping my ride' lol
[11:37] <pussypower> aFUNNY
[11:37] <pussypower> LOL
[11:37] <Curuxz> I do web design and cad and for years have had 2 17" crt's which have annoyed the crap out of me
[11:38] <Curuxz> so i finaly desided to get a 32" inch flatscreen, so now my pc looks cool, so i need to tweek the software
[11:38] <pussypower> lol jews lol wtc
[11:38] <Curuxz> there is a lagitimate reason behind wanting to 'pimp' it since i have clients in here and it needs to look proffesional
[11:38] <SilentDis> Curuxz:  only 2?  I do web dev and have a 19" LCD and a 17" and find it limiting.  I am not surprized you're looking for better. :)
[11:39] <Curuxz> i have been playing with E17 all morning it looks great but is a little......buggy :S any ideas for getting a really powerfull system that actauly has a working system tray lol
[11:39] <apokryphos> !themes | Curuxz
[11:39] <ubotu> Curuxz: Find your themes at: http://www.gnome-look.org - http://kdelook.org - http://themes.freshmeat.net/browse/58/ - http://www.guistyles.com - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Artwork/ - Also see !changethemes and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuEyeCandy
[11:39] <Curuxz> silent, at one point i used 4 crt's! lol you need so much space when doing design
[11:40] <apokryphos> Curuxz: also, if you have a good card you can't really get better eyecandy than with Xgl and Beryl
[11:40] <SilentDis> Curuxz:  oh I bet.  web dev just has me using a lot of refrence material.  I can only imagine what it's like for CAD design :)
[11:40] <Curuxz> this 32" is rated 1377x768 but in linux works at 1600x1200 with out breaking a sweat crystal clear and now im using only 1 screen it makes things like xgl easy (since dual can be a bitch)
[11:40] <cbx33> ooooh
[11:40] <Curuxz> whats berryl for kde or gnome?
[11:40] <apokryphos> Curuxz: GNOME and KDE are both good
[11:41] <cbx33> beryl is gorgeous
[11:41] <visik7> anyone with a custom kernel ?
[11:41] <Curuxz> i have herd a lot about berrl but have not really seen it in action
[11:41] <Curuxz> do you guys think it beats E17 in 'bling' ? lol
[11:41] <apokryphos> Curuxz: let me get you a link, then :)
[11:41] <SilentDis> apokryphos:  thank you for those links btw.  always nice to make pretty hehe :)
[11:41] <coz_> Curuxz, a window manager that is cool take a look on youtube.com and type beryl in to watch a video
[11:41] <Curuxz> thanks guys :)

[11:43] <tahorg> hi, I've got a problem after a fresh mysql-server-5.0 install
[11:43] <[Nige] > hi all
[11:43] <tahorg> after the install the mysqld starts
[11:43] <Curuxz> i have an Gforce fx 5200 i think
[11:43] <cbx33> ooho
[11:43] <Curuxz> one of the crappy ones :( lol
[11:43] <tahorg> but an /etc/init.d/mysql restart
[11:43] <cbx33> that's a little low
[11:43] <tahorg> gives me a fail.
[11:43] <coz_> Curuxz, enough for this hole on i will give link to how to
[11:43] <cbx33> would probably still work...
[11:44] <Curuxz> thanks :)
[11:44] <cbx33> but may be slow
[11:44] <soundray> Can you recommend a procedure for changing graphics cards? I'm using an onboard ATI with the ati driver now, and I have a NVidia card that I want to switch to.
[11:44] <apokryphos> Curuxz: not ideal, but it's good enough for most things on there.
[11:44] <Curuxz> beryl looks sweet!
[11:44] <coz_> Curuxz, here you go read first slwoly, the proceed carefully   http://forum.beryl-project.org/topic-5021-howto-beryl-aiglx-nvidia-drivers
[11:44] <Curuxz> thanks for your help ill give it a go :D
[11:45] <Curuxz> i am going to reinstall edgy from scratch first since i have been running the beta from day 1
[11:45] <Curuxz> and all the patches and hacks over the last 4 months have caused a few probs ;)
[11:45] <zerosmoke> one way to make ms sweat, and help ubuntu along, make it easier for everybody, and no i'm not a treehugger, just trying to push a good thing along...register on the ubuntu forums, it's easy, and write a little how to about how you did it...
[11:45] <coz_> Curuxz, that would be a wise Idea
[11:46] <coz_> Curuxz, do all the updates etc before you do beryl
[11:46] <Curuxz> then ill try the howto, hopefully i can return to my native KDE with this beryl thing
[11:46] <Curuxz> yeah will do :)
[11:46] <zerosmoke> !beryl
[11:46] <ubotu> beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/  -  Please see #ubuntu-xgl for help with beryl.
[11:46] <coz_> Curuxz, the how to I gave you is for gnome hole on i will find KDE how to
[11:46] <Curuxz> oh rite...... thanks :D
[11:47] <coz_> Curuxz, actually there should be little difference
[11:47] <coz_> Curuxz, but let me check
[11:47] <Curuxz> if i just chose to load kde instead of gnome it will just transfer tho rite?
[11:47] <Curuxz> since it is attached to X server by the looks of things
[11:49] <coz_> Curuxz, here is another one, you may want to refer to both how tos and glean the appropriate moves   http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu/Edgy/AiGLX
[11:49] <Curuxz> thanks coz :)
[11:49] <coz_> Curuxz,  no problem and good luck!!!
[11:50] <Curuxz> :D ill give it a go, later guys have a nice day!
[11:50] <coz_> Curuxz, another suggestion is to google KDE beryl buntu to be sure
[11:50] <coz_> ubuntu

[11:52] <cbx33> guys, sorry for posting abotu this again....Ineed to configuer a wpa wireless card in xubuntu - does network manager work
[11:52] <cbx33> or do I have to do manual configuration
[11:52] <Adna> muahhh some problem here :)
[11:53] <Adna> same
[11:53] <Adna> I can't config my Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Network Connection under Ubuntu but under Kanotix it works without any problems
[11:53] <neil__> cbx33: wpa_supplicant in edgy is broken
[11:53] <cbx33> whhaaA??
[11:53] <cbx33> neil__: really?
[11:54] <neil__> cbx33: it's in the release notes.
[11:54] <coz_> Adna, did you check to see if it is supported
[11:54] <coz_> Adna, I will look also on google
[11:54] <dreamer> hmm, ok, so now I made a 1gb swap partition, but how do I activate it ?
[11:54] <neil__> cbx33: the PLF repository has one. don't know if that works though?
[11:54] <Adna> nope I simply tried it, and iwconfig shows me eth1 but unassociated
[11:54] <netpython> dreamer, swapon /dev/hda1
[11:55] <netpython> dreamer, if /dev/hda1 is the swap ofcourse
[11:55] <neil__> dreamer: put an entry in fstab and swapon it
[11:55] <Adna> no I'll switch wpa off and try it again, perhaps this is the problem
[11:55] <dreamer> hmmm, lets see what the location is ..
[11:55] <dreamer> hda6
[11:55] <coz_> Adna,  Look here   http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=140085&page=7

[11:56] <e_machinist> When I try to "configure" Firefox 2.0 source, I get this message, error: --enable-application=APP is required, what does this mean or what do I need to do to fix this?
[11:57] <Tschaka> ./configure --enable-application=APP @ e_machinist

[11:57] <dreamer> ok, well
[11:57] <tobias> hi! why can't I access a command-prompt with "ctrl+alt+f1-6" anymore in edgy? is this disabled now? Can I re-enable it?
[11:57] <Adna> I'll try to install it now..
[11:57] <e_machinist> Tschaka: @ e_machinist would be my user name?
[11:57] <dreamer> mi XP-partitiotn was already in an extended :/ so I couldn't make a new one
[11:58] <Tschaka> e_machinist yes ;)
[11:58] <dreamer> but, I resized the win-part with 1 gb and made that swap :)
[11:58] <e_machinist> Tschaka: thanks, I'll give it a go.
[11:58] <anders9034> so anyone know which package is required to get stdio.h ??
[11:58] <coz_> tobias, you want to get to command it is still ctrl+alt+F1
[11:58] <netpython> tobias, did you edit /etc/securetty?
[11:58] <dreamer> only thing is I still have that 1gb of unallocated space .. ahh well
[11:58] <rc-1> hi, sound isnt playing, i have mute off, help?
[11:58] <netpython> dreamer, you could make it an extra swap
[11:59] <tobias> netpython: No, did I have to? I just reinstalled edgy clean&sweet yesterday...
[11:59] <Tschaka> rc-1 try alsamixer in console
[11:59] <coz_> rc-1, start from the beginning, when did thid happen/
[11:59] <coz_> this
[11:59] <dreamer> netpython: how??
[11:59] <rc-1> im on a fresh install
[11:59] <dreamer> I can't make it a primary or extended partition
[11:59] <dreamer> that was the whole point :P
[11:59] <e_machinist> Tschaka: I get this when I add my user name, configure: warning: @: invalid host type, and on the next line, configure: error: can only configure for one host and one target at a time
[11:59] <netpython> tobias, in this case no it's allright
[11:59] <coz_> rc-1, in the terminal typ   alsamixer  and check if anything is muted
[12:00] <tobias> coz: Not on my box.
[12:00] <neil__> cbx33: my bad. i think it's ndiswrapper that's broken in edgy
[12:00] <Tschaka> e_machinist "configure --enable-application=APP" so this one doenst work? oO
[12:00] <thegve> rc-1: Is there a cross through the volume manager in the panel bar?
[12:00] <rc-1> master says 00
[12:00] <thegve> rc-1: In that case your sound card wasn't detected
[12:00] <neil__> cbx33: i can't find the reference to it atm. i'll look again
[12:00] <dreamer> hmm, what is the mointpoint for swap ?
[12:00] <thegve> rc-1: It is detected then :)
[12:01] <rc-1> the volume bar has no cross
[12:01] <rc-1> drat thanks anyways
[12:01] <tobias> netpython: ctrl+alt+f1-6 just show a screwed-up screen, but no console... in dapper this worked just fine!
[12:01] <neil__> dreamer: none :)
[12:01] <netpython> tobias, strange
[12:01] <coz_> tobias, out of curoisity, did you upgrade from dapper to edgy?
[12:01] <tobias> netpython: Indeed! :-)
[12:01] <e_machinist> Tschaka: when I run "configure --enable-application=APP" I also get, configure: error: --enable-application=APP is required
[12:01] <rc-1> brb ill open up comp and make sure its plugged in
[12:02] <coz_> tobias, or clean install
[12:02] <dreamer> neil__: kay, so I don't need to edit fstab?
[12:02] <cbx33> ahhh that would make sense
[12:02] <dreamer> I think swapon already fixed it anyway ..
[12:02] <Tschaka> e_machinist http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?p=2484066&sid=2c272aee5d94cff1347ed9f5fe9c4399 try this one
[12:02] <tobias> netpython: I just don't want to have to boot into recovery-mode every time I play around with xorg.conf ...
[12:03] <neil__> dreamer: partition none swap sw 0 0
[12:03] <netpython> tobias, fair enough
[12:03] <neil__> dreamer: you need that for swapon -a at startup to activate swap
[12:03] <e_machinist> Tschaka: dang, you got magic "find exact problems" powers?
[12:03] <Tschaka> tobias sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop should give you a console xD
[12:03] <dreamer> neil__: the swap already shows up in top
[12:03] <Tschaka> e_machinist i got google :D
[12:03] <dreamer> and free
[12:04] <tobias> coz: First an upgrade, then I played around TOO much ;-) and did a fresh install just yesterday ... the problem appeared on both the dapper-edgy upgraded system as well as my fresh install I'm using right now.
[12:04] <neil__> dreamer: ok but every system i've ever used puts entries for swap in fstab
[12:04] <dreamer> ok
[12:04] <dreamer> it's not in there now ..
[12:05] <soundray> tobias: try booting with the vga=ask option
[12:05] <neil__> dreamer: my clean install of edgy put an entry in for me
[12:05] <netpython> tobias, do you have an issue logged in /var/log/messages telling more about the nature of the problem by the way?
[12:06] <neil__> tobias: booting in single-user mode is a good alternative to recovery
[12:06] <ANaRcHiC-nix> coz_: hello, i spoke to u the other day about installing beryl etc?
[12:07] <e_machinist> Are there any Open Source web browsers aside from the Mozilla stuff and Konq?
[12:07] <neil__> e_machinist: do you mean not based on their technology?
[12:07] <netpython> e_machinist, epiphany,galeon
[12:08] <MikeyMike> i have a question about firefox
[12:08] <MikeyMike> anyone up
[12:08] <neil__> MikeyMike: ask away
[12:08] <netpython> MikeyMike, State the nature of your problem
[12:08] <e_machinist> neil__: yes, not based on their technology.
[12:08] <dreamer> hmm, I have a Q about FF to: can I use all my windows-settings in linux ?
[12:09] <MikeyMike> haha you know... i come in here regularly and i totally asked to ask a question.... haha i feel dumb
[12:09] <MikeyMike> anyway.
[12:09] <MikeyMike> my problem is i installed a couple firefox extentions and uninstalled them... and they're still 'there'
[12:09] <dreamer> MikeyMike: isn't it the point of this channel/ to ask questions? ;)
[12:09] <MikeyMike> haha yes
[12:09] <MikeyMike> they all had to do with autoscrolling
[12:09] <Pensacola> I'm having some problems configuring ubuntu to connect to my wireless school network
[12:10] <MikeyMike> i didnt realize firefox had autoscroll built in
[12:10] <tobias> netpython: The only thing in messages when trying ctrl+alt+f1-6 is "Loading R300 Microcode" ... The screen gets all screwed up like a bad graphics driver or something ... that's it then. I can still switch back to ctrl+alt+f7 luckily!
[12:10] <MikeyMike> im using firefox 1.5.07
[12:10] <MikeyMike> basically i've found that my about:config has a lot of bullcrap in it and i want to clear out the extentions
[12:10] <MikeyMike> entries
[12:11] <Matthai> quick question: how is it called ubuntu's graphical partitioner (which package is it)?
[12:11] <tobias> neil_: There MUST be an alternative to rebooting when I just hung up my X-server ...
[12:11] <MikeyMike> anyone know?
[12:11] <netpython> tobias, after ctrl-alt-f1 a alt-f7 without ctlr is enough :-) What driver do you use?
[12:11] <floating> hey whats up if I try remove a mod with rmmod modulename, it says it isnt module or something like that
[12:11] <Daverocks> floating: does "modprobe -r modulename" produce the same output?
[12:11] <floating> or not found even if it was on lsmod list
[12:11] <neil__> tobias: can you Ctrl-Alt-F1 and kill from there?
[12:11] <floating> yea
[12:11] <MikeyMike> if anyone knows just say my name in in #firefox as well
[12:12] <floating> whats the difference doing /sbin/rmmod modname
[12:12] <tobias> neil_: No. ctrl+alt+f1 just brings up a messed-up screen...
[12:12] <Daverocks> floating: don't know if there is a difference, just taking a stab here :P
[12:12] <tobias> neil_: As do f2-6
[12:13] <floating> i ll try the sbin when i be able to try it out next time
[12:13] <coz_> tobias when did y ou install the os
[12:13] <hwt> hi, i'm having problems getting fglrx to run on my newly installed edgy.
[12:14] <hwt> could it be that i'm missing some packages?
[12:14] <tobias> netpython: Right now I'm using the regularly 'ati' driver shipped with edgy ... but I used 'fglrx' on my dapper->edgy upgraded box. Same problem there.
[12:14] <hwt> i have restricted-modules and restricted-modules-common, in addition to the fglrx-drivers.
[12:14] <coz_> hwt have you taken a look at all the how tos for this
[12:14] <tobias> coz_: The edgy I'm using right now? 12h ago...
[12:14] <coz_> tobias, and it was a clean install?
[12:15] <netpython> coz_, upgrade
[12:15] <coz_> upgrade
[12:15] <hwt> coz_: URL?
[12:15] <tobias> coz_: Yes, I downloaded the iso again, burnt it, checked the md5 after burning ... everything was ok.

[12:17] <dreamer> so, does anyone if/how I can import all my windows-firefox-configs ?
[12:17] <coz_> hwt, well i am not skilled with this so my suggestion is to google  sorry
[12:17] <floating> Daverocks: I might have to remove this bcm43xx driver that is alternatively installed(i guess) I remember doing lsmod, and seeing many modules, that might be associated with this mod or so, do you think I might need to remove more than exactly this mod
[12:18] <floating> driver=mod
[12:18] <Daverocks> no idea, sorry :(

[12:20] <Juhaz> maxb, it needs to be initiated with "u" before the hex digits now
[12:20] <spyder404> yoplaroom !!
[12:20] <Juhaz> and the component is gtk
[12:20] <spyder404> a fart !!

[12:20] <spyder404> hi all !
[12:20] <spyder404> what's up !!
[12:21] <spyder404> what's news !!
[12:21] <spyder404> someone alive ?
[12:21] <maxb> Juhaz: Thanks!... if it requires, "u", then is there any way to get Ctrl+Shift+C to be passed through as a normal keypress, for apps like thunderbird, which map that to a useful function?
[12:21] <Hoxzer> we're all DEAD
[12:21] <neil__> tobias: i'm using the ati driver in xorg with xorg's aiglx for my ATI9200 based card. i had to reboot to single-user to fix xorg.conf after i enabled AGPFastWrite
[12:22] <spyder404> :)
[12:22] <spyder404> hav a good tim !!
[12:23] <Juhaz> maxb, I would assume that's the whole reason for the change, and those keypresses should now pass through automatically
[12:23] <maxb> Unfortunately, no.
[12:26] <neil__> has anyone noticed of their GNOME desktop starts a little faster with avahi-daemon configured and running?

[12:27] <visik7> I've a problem with edgy and a custom kernel : I've build my custom kernel with the same configure of 2.6.17-10-generic and add only one option ( Compile the kernel with debug info ) and I hadn't remove anything, all works fine slash screen and all the peripherals but if I boot in console nothing is visible expect a blinking cursor and resolution 1400x1050 (setuped via vga=0x348 at kernel boot parameters) doesn't working
[12:27] <Juhaz> maxb, ctrl+shift+a works for me in firefox and thunderbird, this is in fc6, not edgy, but should be the same...
[12:28] <maxb> Juhaz: Interesting... you're right. C-S-A does work, but C-S-C doesn't.
[12:28] <Juhaz> I didn't find any menu entry with c-s-c in tb, what should it do?
[12:28] <Juhaz> or is it from extension?
[12:28] <dreamer> so, does anyone know if/how I can import all my windows-firefox-configs ?
[12:30] <dooglus> dreamer: did you try copying your windows profile into ~/.mozilla/firefox/ ?
[12:31] <Dimensions> hi my firefox crashes every time i open any page it doesn't stays for more than few seconds is there any other web browser i can download ?
[12:31] <Dimensions> i even removed and re downloaded fire fox but doesn't work
[12:31] <dreamer> dooglus: not yet :#
[12:32] <niktaris> are there anywhere firefox extensions in .deb format ?
[12:32] <dooglus> dreamer: something like: cp -r /mnt/c/Documents\ and\ Settings/<user>/Application\ Data/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/*.default ~/.mozilla/firefox/
[12:32] <dooglus> dreamer: (once you've got your windows C drive mounted as /mnt/c, of course)
[12:33] <webben> niktaris, Not AFAIK. Why do you need them?
[12:33] <niktaris> webben, I wanted them installed system-wide
[12:34] <webben> niktaris: ah... yeah, I think there's an extension to help you with that, but no debs AFAIK.
[12:34] <niktaris> webben, what extension ?
[12:35] <webben> niktaris: not sure ... I suspect it's probably not worth it
[12:35] <webben> it might be easier to create a add user script which installs them
[12:35] <webben> when a new user is created
[12:36] <dooglus> niktaris: can you install the extensions into /usr/lib/firefox/extensions/ ?
[12:36] <dooglus> niktaris: some extensions are available in the repositories which do exactly that.  for example:
[12:36] <dooglus> !info mozilla-imagezoom
[12:36] <ubotu> mozilla-imagezoom: Mozilla context menu option to zoom current image. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.2.5-1 (edgy), package size 68 kB, installed size 272 kB
[12:37] <maxb> Juhaz: It's "Mark folder as read"
[12:37] <webben> niktaris, http://lwn.net/Articles/186663/ might help
[12:38] <dooglus> niktaris: available packages are: firefox-dom-inspector, firefox-greasemonkey, firefox-themes-ubuntu, firefox-webdeveloper, mozilla-biofox, mozilla-bookmarksftp, mozilla-checky, mozilla-ctxextensions, mozilla-diggler, mozilla-imagezoom, mozilla-livehttpheaders, mozilla-mozgest, mozilla-nukeimage, mozilla-stumbleupon, mozilla-tabextensions, and mozilla-venkman
[12:39] <webben> dooglus, are those packages kept properly up to date do you know?
[12:40] <dooglus> webben: I doubt it.  they're in ubuntu universe...
[12:41] <webben> yeah ... in that case I'd tend to prefer the latest xpi
[12:41] <manux> Hello some one knows how this can be resolved when client try to attempt ppp connexion over my linux box ,?
[12:41] <manux> Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP
[12:43] <dooglus> webben: for instance, the first one I checked, image zoom is 0.2.5 in the repository and 0.2.7 on https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/139/ .  0.2.7 was released Sep 26, 2006, about 2 weeks ago.
[12:43] <dooglus> sorry, about 6 or 7 weeks ago!
[12:43] <webben> hmmm ... not great but could be worse
[12:43] <webben> perhaps apt-get source
[12:44] <niktaris> dooglus, thanks
[12:44] <webben> and replace the xpi
[12:44] <dreamer> dooglus: didn't work :S
[12:44] <dreamer> then I removed the old profile .. and now it says Firefox is already running :/
[12:45] <dooglus> dreamer: rename the profile you copied to be exactly the same as the old profile you removed.  firefox is expecting your profile to be called <random-stuff>.default
[12:45] <rc-1> hhmmm no sound :( i checked and appears sound card is plugged in right
[12:45] <Juhaz> maxb, http://www.mozilla.org/support/thunderbird/keyboard says it's just shift+c in linux
[12:45] <dreamer> dooglus: aarg, don't know what it was called :s
[12:45] <dooglus> dreamer: reading ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini will tell you
[12:45] <rc-1> and sb audigory is detected in device manager
[12:45] <dooglus> dreamer: the 'path=' bit
[12:46] <dreamer> er .. I already replaced the name in the ini with the new one :#
[12:46] <Jaak> My Xserver crashes when i start flash 8 (editor), either flash does load eventually and all gnome menus become black, or i get ubu's login screen.
[12:46] <Jaak> can anyone help me?
[12:46] <Jaak> the same happens with fireworks 8, not with dreamweaver
[12:46] <dooglus> Jaak: flash 8 is a windows program isn't it?
[12:47] <Jaak> dooglus: (using wine)
[12:47] <Jaak> but xcrashes
[12:47] <netpython> http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-edgy-upgrade-common-problems-with-solutions.html
[12:47] <dooglus> Jaak: I see.
[12:47] <maxb> Juhaz: Thankyou extremely! I didn't even think they might have done something so bizarre as to have platform-specific keyboard shortcuts!!
[12:47] <netpython> http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-edgy-upgrade-common-problems-with-solutions.html
[12:48] <manux> Hello some one knows how to resolve this ? Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP
[12:48] <dooglus> dreamer: I'll try it here with my old windows firefox profile and see if that works.
[12:48] <dreamer> hmz :/
[12:49] <dreamer> it says I should restart, I restarted X but that didn't work
[12:49] <dreamer> thnx for helping :)
[12:49] <boni> does anyone know where the bluetooth configuration files are kept??
[12:49] <rem__> Hey...Since I upgrade to Edgy Evolution keeps on freezing. Anyone else had that problem...anything that can be done ?
[12:49] <Dimensions> Hiya ... again ... I have installed mozilla and it got installed but doesn't start while firefox crashes after few seconds
[12:50] <Juhaz> maxb, probably a workaround due to the gtk previously stealing those keys, guess it could/should be changed again in thunderbird now that that's no longer an issue...
[12:50] <boni> i mean where are the bluetooth configuration files on Dapper??
[12:50] <dooglus> dreamer: I see the same error - that firefox is in use (it isn't)
[12:51] <Jaak> i am looking for a gnome kindoff Kbluetooth-server
[12:51] <dreamer> dooglus: hmmm
[12:52] <dooglus> dreamer: I'll work out what's wrong - give me a minute
[12:52] <dreamer> :)

[01:00] <dreamer> aah, / too much :P
[01:00] <boni> rc-1: How did this sound problem start??
[01:00] <dreamer> baah, now it says it's running again :S
[01:00] <Paddy_EIRE> after upgrading to edgy I get to the login screen and when I log in it only loads a few services all that I have is my mouse cursor and a blank background
[01:01] <netpython> rc-1, the volume can be at 100% but is the controll enabled? (press m key in alsa thingy)
[01:01] <nanda> hi
[01:01] <h-bomb> can someone please advise me on my wifi issue?
[01:01] <Hoxzer> hi
[01:01] <nanda> I got a new mouse but edgy doesn't recognise it
[01:01] <nanda> any ideas?
[01:02] <niru> nanda:from which country did red hat originate?
[01:02] <dooglus> dreamer: got it :)
[01:02] <nanda> usa?
[01:02] <nanda> I dunno
[01:02] <nanda> lol
[01:02] <rc-1> yes its enabled
[01:02] <netpython> germany?
[01:02] <dreamer> dooglus: HOW? :o
[01:02] <dooglus> dreamer: run a "chmod -R u+w <random-junk>.default" to make the profile writable!
[01:02] <dreamer> ok !
[01:02] <rc-1>  Intel ICH6
[01:03] <rc-1> Chip: Analog Devices AD1980
[01:03] <niru> dooglus:ch country did red hat originate?
[01:03] <dooglus> niru: um - usa?
[01:03] <niru> um?
[01:03] <boni> /part/part
[01:03] <dreamer> dooglus: YAY !!!!!! :D
[01:04] <dreamer> I even have all my plugins now I think
[01:04] <dreamer> many many thonx dooglus :D
[01:04] <netpython> rc-1, lsmod |grep snd_ich
[01:04] <dooglus> dreamer: good, isn't it?  the problem is, your windows partition was mounted readonly, so when you copied the files, the copies were read-only, too, which meant firefox wasn't able to mark the profile 'in use', so it thought it must already be in use...
[01:04] <Paddy_EIRE> anyone fancy helping me fix my edgy upgrade
[01:05] <dreamer> :)
[01:05] <ben_underscore> Paddy_EIRE: i don't know if i can be much help to you
[01:05] <Paddy_EIRE> after upgrading to edgy I get to the login screen and when I log in it only loads a few services all that I have is my mouse cursor and a blank background
[01:05] <ben_underscore> Paddy_EIRE: did you take a backup?
[01:05] <netpython> http://www.debianadmin.com/ubuntu-edgy-upgrade-common-problems-with-solutions.html
[01:05] <Paddy_EIRE> not really
[01:06] <dreamer> ok, time for next class :)
[01:06] <dreamer> later all :)
[01:06] <netpython> bye
[01:06] <dooglus> niru: Red Hat was founded by entrepreneur Marc Ewing in 1993.  read http://www.salon.com/tech/view/1999/10/04/marc_ewing/
[01:06] <ben_underscore> Paddy_EIRE: is there any way you can now? such as create a tar file of your home directory and then copy it to a USB drive or something?
[01:07] <niru> dooglus:so He is from US
[01:07] <Paddy_EIRE> ben_underscore: well there is other such things that I wish to keep that are not in my /home directory
[01:07] <valehru> Paddy_EIRE, if you can get into the main desktop then you should be able to log in via the console.....
[01:07] <ben_underscore> Paddy_EIRE: because i would suggest that and then do a fresh install of ubuntu and then copy your backed up home directory and restore it
[01:07] <gemeindebau> hello all; i must be doing something wrong because i am totally unable to play xvid movies (in avi container). i think i followed about every instruction i could find, and still totem gives me that errormessage about missing plugins. can anybody guide me through the necessary checks to see if i actually did install everything? thanks
[01:07] <dooglus> niru: apparently so.  but in 1995 Red Hat was bought out by ACC Bookstores, run by a Canadian, Bob Young
[01:07] <ben_underscore> Paddy_EIRE: true - there always are
[01:08] <Paddy_EIRE> ben_underscore: I have cd-r and dvd+r
[01:08] <valehru> Paddy_EIRE, from the console, mount the usb drive - storage device and copy everything there.
[01:08] <Paddy_EIRE> k
[01:08] <dooglus> niru: its corporate headquarters are in Raleigh, North Carolina
[01:08] <valehru>  Paddy_EIRE do you have a second machine set up?
[01:08] <Paddy_EIRE> no
[01:08] <ben_underscore> valehru: can you burn to dvd+r from a command line :-)
[01:08] <dooglus> niru: see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Hat
[01:08] <Paddy_EIRE> ben_underscore: how
[01:09] <valehru> ben_underscore, not that I last looked..
[01:09] <valehru> :)
[01:09] <ben_underscore> Paddy_EIRE: how for what?
[01:09] <Paddy_EIRE> the dvd command line
[01:09] <niru> dooglus:ok
[01:09] <rc-1> netpython, that doesnt do anything :(
[01:10] <ben_underscore> Paddy_EIRE: also make sure you run a md5sum on your TAR file you create and then use that again to compare it to the file after you copy it back and forth so it is exactly the same file
[01:10] <ben_underscore> Paddy_EIRE: you cannot burn DVDs on the comand line :-(
[01:10] <defrysk> ben42, yes you can
[01:10] <defrysk> ben-uthat is
[01:10] <Daverocks> doesn't cdrecord work for burning dvds?
[01:10] <Paddy_EIRE> is it possible for me 2 download the edgy iso from this livecd and use my other drive to burn it
[01:10] <defrysk> underscore even
[01:11] <valehru> ben_underscore, yes you can,
[01:11] <ben_underscore> valehru: i stand corrected
[01:11] <rc-1> anyone have an idea to get sound to work, not musting anything and volume at 100
[01:11] <valehru> ben_underscore, anything can be done via the command line, even cure world peace....you can not however burn a dvd with a read only drive however.
[01:12] <Paddy_EIRE> valehru: is it possible for me 2 download the edgy iso from this dapper livecd and use my other drive dvdrw to burn it
[01:12] <ben_underscore> Paddy_EIRE needs to archive off his files to DVD from the command line so he can do a fresh install of edgy
[01:13] <defrysk> Paddy_EIRE, you can burn iso with cdrdao but you have to make a small TOC file
[01:13] <phanter> hi people, how can I check why my sound card is not working (command line)
[01:13] <Paddy_EIRE> defrysk: so If i download the iso where does it get stored
[01:13] <melvin> i'm using acer aspire 5050 : how to repair sound problem and wireless
[01:13] <MM2> could some1 please file a bug report: Ubuntu won't reg. my usb keyboard nor mouse
[01:13] <dxdemetriou> I have problem with /dev/dsp. every restart swaps the dsp and dsp1 and I don't know each time what dsp is for soundcard nd what for tvcard
[01:14] <Paddy_EIRE> defrysk: im running from a dapper livecd
[01:14] <defrysk> Paddy_EIRE, you have to mount a partition on your harddrive to download it too
[01:14] <defrysk> too = to
[01:15] <Paddy_EIRE> defrysk: could you help me do this
[01:15] <ben_underscore> Paddy_EIRE: and your feisty install is not working off the hard drive? can you boot into safe mode?
[01:15] <dxdemetriou> Is there any way to define the dsp for soundcard and the dsp1 for tvcard?
[01:15] <defrysk> Paddy_EIRE, listen to ben_underscore for now please
[01:15] <doctorow> When I woke up this morning, /dev/sda1 was 100 percent full -- I'm running Edgy on a ThinkPad T60p.
[01:16] <ben_underscore> Paddy_EIRE: sorry that should have been edgy, not feisty. stupid names!!
[01:16] <defrysk> lol ben_underscore
[01:16] <doctorow> Can anyone help me figure out why /dev/sda1 is sitting at 100 percent full? I can't even boot my machine
[01:17] <Q-FUNK> boing boing on the bridge.
[01:17] <doctorow> Q-FUNK Yup -- any ideas about /dev/sda1?
[01:17] <dooglus> dxdemetriou: you need to put a udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d I think.  at least, that's how I stopped eth1 and eth2 randomly swapping over at each boot
[01:18] <zerosmoke> umm...did you mess around in the partitioner lately?
[01:18] <doctorow> zerosmoke Nope
[01:18] <Q-FUNK> doctorow: probably because your /var/log or /tmp is full
[01:18] <Paddy_EIRE> ben_underscore: im creating a partition for the edgy live cd download as I do not have my original at hand
[01:18] <Q-FUNK> doctorow: what sort of hardware is it?  SCSI disk as rootis not so comon these days.
[01:19] <ben_underscore> Paddy_EIRE: ah.
[01:19] <doctorow> Q-FUNK It's a ThinkPad t60p
[01:19] <dxdemetriou> dooglus, how can I do that? :)
[01:20] <raghu206> how to installl aiglx in edgy for intel machines
[01:20] <doctorow> Q-FUNK I've emptied out /tmp and I'm looking at /var/log now -- it seems like it's only 8912k
[01:20] <chuckyp> raghu206, /j #ubuntu-xgl
[01:20] <frinov> i need help getting skype to work on ubuntu edgy thinkpad 570. audio capture is not working
[01:20] <chuckyp> !skype > frinov
[01:20] <rc-1> help i have no sound
[01:21] <chuckyp> !sound > rc-1
[01:21] <frinov> chuckyp, it fails for arecord as well
[01:21] <ben_underscore> Paddy_EIRE: my advice is to do nothing until you can get near an external hard drive or vice versa. then archive off all the files you need to the external drive, making sure to take md5sums of each TAR file and checking the files have not been corrupted. then wipe your drive and do a fresh install of edgy. it's a pain but the cleanest approach
[01:21] <Paddy_EIRE> ben_underscore: if this partiton creates properly is it possible to mount my other edgy install and copy my home dir over
[01:21] <frinov> it is a config problem with alsa.conf
[01:21] <doctorow> Q-FUNK I cd'ed to /var and did a du -k
[01:21] <chuckyp> frinov, check out levels with alsamixer
[01:21] <Q-FUNK> doctorow: did it empty anythng?  next, I'd try 'apt-get clean' to empty the APT cache.
[01:21] <frinov> that is generated by edgy
[01:22] <frinov> chuckyp, i can record if i arecord -D plughw:0,0 but not if arecord without -D
[01:22] <ben_underscore> and now i have to go to bed. it is late.
[01:22] <ben_underscore> good luck
[01:22] <rc-1> chuckyp, thanks :)
[01:22] <frinov> are you familiar with alsa.conf, that is where the issue is coming from
[01:22] <doctorow> Q-FUNK df still says /dev/sda1 is 100 percent full
[01:22] <chuckyp> frinov, did you try alsamixer
[01:22] <frinov> chuckyp, yes, i mentioned that i can record with arecord -D plughw
[01:23] <ailean> Lahey, how did you get on?
[01:23] <Q-FUNK> doctorow: assides from the percentages shown, do the disk size and used size differ?
[01:23] <chuckyp> frinov, hrm... well i'm not to familiar with alsa.conf
[01:23] <chuckyp> rc-1, np
[01:23] <frinov> ok
[01:23] <chuckyp> frinov, hrm.. why is alsa.conf not in /etc
[01:23] <doctorow> Q-FUNK Yes -- 1k-blocks = 10080488, Used=9893636
[01:24] <frinov> chuckyp, on edgy, it is in /usr/share/alsa
[01:24] <chuckyp> frinov, thats annoying
[01:24] <christefano> hi folks. I'm going through my command history and it appears that one of my colleagues installed MySQL and PHP5 over my the installation I already had. could this be the cause of why my /phpinfo.php file is spitting out errors?
[01:24] <chuckyp> frinov, yeah I found it just wierd that its not in /etc
[01:24] <frinov> huh? at me? chuckyp
[01:24] <chuckyp> frinov, yes its wierd that in edgy its in /usr/share/alsa instead of in /etc
[01:25] <Q-FUNK> doctorow: another trick to try would be to delete the APT package lists in /var/lib/apt/lists/
[01:25] <niru> chuckyp:Does ubuntu edgy support tamil and other indian languages when fonts are installed
[01:25] <cccharles> I've used other distros. Any convenient way to get a command line "mail" command in ubuntu?
[01:25] <frinov> anyway, i need to find out how to make skype be able to read from the default plughw
[01:25] <ailean> niru, yes
[01:25] <doctorow> Q-FUNK Can I just rm -r /var/lib/apt/lists without b0rking anything?
[01:26] <niru> ailean:can I get the list of indian languages that ubuntu will support
[01:26] <Q-FUNK> doctorow: erm.. nope.  you'd rather delete the individual files
[01:26] <ailean> niru, all major indian languages are supported
[01:26] <doctorow> Q-FUNK Which files?
[01:26] <ailean> niru, 2 mins
[01:26] <niru> ailean:ok I shall wait
[01:26] <Q-FUNK> doctorow: in that directory, with file names reminescent of URL
[01:26] <chuckyp> niru, no idea perhaps search for rosetta in the forums.
[01:26] <chuckyp> !in
[01:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about in - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:27] <doctorow> Q-FUNK It looks like the dir is only 27MB
[01:28] <christefano> any help would be appreciated here. I've been sandbagged with this assignment and have been having problems at every turn.
[01:28] <Q-FUNK> doctorow: which is still sizable enough.  I'd say try deleting them just to make space.  it should at least reboot fine afterwards.
