[12:27] <the_Kane> QUESTION: does SDRAM have 3 sets of pins, and DDR has 2 sets? im trying to see what ram i have here
[12:27] <holycow> avis, xgl is neat yeah, but i got bored of it really fast ... it was weird
[12:27] <thoreauputic> airtonix: ah, I was thinking of "laconian" :)
[12:27] <Fujitsu> the_Kane, SDRAM has 3.
[12:27] <avis> thoreauputic, i do have to comment the ubuntu official documentation is poor in regards to XGL
[12:27] <holycow> avis, the thing i ended up liking about it is how quickly the apps felt they loaded, even though they all loaded in the sam eamount of time
[12:27] <delire> avis: is't pre-alpha software
[12:27] <avis> holycow, i find it easier to manage
[12:28] <the_Kane> Fujitsu: thanks ;) also where on ubuntu can i find system information (such as processor speed, ram etc...)
[12:28] <redmonkey> well, I rather work on a 2d desktop :)
[12:28] <thoreauputic> avis: I wouldn't know - maybe send a mail to the ubuntu-docs list about it then :)
[12:28] <Ng> avis: xgl is not part of the core of ubuntu, it's a community supported extra because it's in universe. The next release may well provide more official support for it
[12:28] <divineomega> :D I have DVD's playing finally.
[12:28] <AnAnt> which package provides libtermcap.so ?
[12:28] <holycow> xgl is dead anyway ... aiglx is the future
[12:28] <holycow> :)
[12:28] <divineomega> Only 1 reason left to keep windows..
[12:28] <zipper_> Ng, is there a deadline for the next release or is it ready when its ready?
[12:28] <holycow> divineomega, whats that bro?
[12:28] <thoreauputic> zipper_: Ocober
[12:29] <thoreauputic> *October
[12:29] <avis> i dont just rotate the cube i move apps around and seperate the "partitions in my brain"  i'm an ex windows user well i will use x64 again but grouping tasks is good
[12:29] <zipper_> okay, thanks
[12:29] <divineomega> holycow, games - cedega doesn't do everything unfortunately
[12:29] <holycow> ah yes, well hopefully we will start to see more native ports anyway
[12:29] <divineomega> hopefully
[12:29] <avis> Ng, Dapper is the latest release and will be for the next 3 years at least
[12:29] <holycow> now that we have gdebi, installing on ubuntu is WAY easier than on windows for newbs
[12:30] <__doc__> hi, I am installing dapper and I got some issue
[12:30] <ubuntuNewbee> Ng, Hi!
[12:30] <divineomega> I can slowly start to shrink my windows partition
[12:30] <holycow> cleaner and safer hopefully too, for properly packaged items anyway
[12:30] <airtonix> re: xgl....im waiting for the looking glass project  to step out of java and becomes "usable"....
[12:30] <skippy81> ok anusien, are well im using xgl and compiz: phear my cube!!!
[12:30] <Fujitsu> __doc__, what are these issues?
[12:30] <_jpierre> Hello ... I just installed Dapper and I'm getting "Grub Hard Disk Error". However, I can see grub, when I try to boot from a Windows CD, but actually not booting as I'm not pressing any key when it says "To boot from CD press any key" any tips on fixing grub?
[12:30] <Morrowyn> morning
[12:30] <skippy81> lol i had part of another sentance typed :D
[12:30] <the_Kane> QUESTION: where on ubuntu can i find out how much ram speed i have, processor, and other stuff like that (such as windows System Information tool)
[12:30] <holycow> airtonix, what does that doe that aiglx / glx dont?
[12:30] <AnAnt> which package provides libtermcap.so.2 ?
[12:31] <ubuntuNewbee> Ng: One question for you, if you have a little time, please
[12:31] <__doc__> my problems are a) nvidia card. my screen resolution is 640x480 and I can-t click trough the installation because the rest of the installation dialog is outside my screen
[12:31] <Ng> AnAnt: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ can search packages for specific files
[12:31] <Ng> ubuntuNewbee: just ask, if someone can help you, they will
[12:31] <airtonix> holycow: well. its hard to explain
[12:31] <avis> Ng, yes i'm well aware of that and i'm done some reading and i'm quite content with what i've found and i dont use my mouse i use keyboard shifting unless i want to slide applications over.  its nifty on my 21" CRt
[12:31] <holycow> the_Kane, free for ram, top for processes, uname -a for cpu
[12:31] <Fujitsu> !find libtermcap.so
[12:31] <avis> crt
[12:31] <_nano_> _jpierre: if you have your rescue disk, boot and then run chkdsk, and then fixmbr and then fixboot
[12:31] <thoreauputic> !tell __doc__ about fixres
[12:31] <Fjodor> AnAnt: Install apt-file, do apt-file update and apt-file search libtermcap.so.2
[12:31] <ubuntuNewbee> are there problems with the Switch user?
[12:31] <ubotu> Ubuntu Search of 'libtermcap.so' (2 shown): (/usr/lib/libtermcap.so) in libdevel/libncurses5-dev ;; (/lib/{libtermcap.so.2|libtermcap.so.2.0.8}) in universe/oldlibs/termcap-compat.
[12:31] <the_Kane> holycow: i dont follow?
[12:31] <airtonix> holycow: know how you can expand the cube into more sides than just 4?
[12:32] <holycow> the_Kane, thoser are commands you can use to find that info from command line
[12:32] <the_Kane> isn't there a gui ?
[12:32] <__doc__> thoreauputic: hm?
[12:32] <_jpierre> _nano_: I don't need to do the fixmbr, I want to fix the grub error. If I run fixmbr how will I run ubuntu?
[12:32] <holycow> airtonix, add more virtual desktops maybe?
[12:32] <avis> there is an apt-file search function ? after an update ?
[12:32] <Ng> the_Kane: either the System Monitor or the Device manager
[12:32] <airtonix> holycow: yeah kinda.....well its along those lines.....but i believe you can grab a window and throw it into the distance
[12:32] <Ng> the_Kane: in Applications->System Tools and System->Administration, respectively
[12:33] <thoreauputic> __doc__: that URL should help with your 640x480 problem
[12:33] <_nano_> _jpierre: once the mbr is fixed, you can reinstall grub
[12:33] <AnAnt> Fjodor: thx
[12:33] <airtonix> as if you were using operation flashpoint as your window manager
[12:33] <avis> airtonix, you mentioned getting rid of novell splash, i'm interested
[12:33] <holycow> anyway i think the cube idea is dumb ... i'd rather have more interesting animation between desktops ... say a nice blend, or say like a matrixy transition, or say maybe like an origamy folding transition ...
[12:33] <airtonix> xcruise meets xgl
[12:33] <_jpierre> _nano_: how?
[12:33] <__doc__> thoreauputic: sry i-m an irssi noob I probablz didn-t see the url
[12:33] <thoreauputic> !fixres
[12:33] <holycow> airtonix, *nod*
[12:33] <_nano_> _jpierre: using the installation cd?
[12:33] <Fjodor> AnAnt: Np. Didn't know ubotu would answer the query though ;-)
[12:33] <ubotu> Help to fix the display resolution is available at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:33] <airtonix> avis: i did? well i managed to put my own logo there
[12:33] <thoreauputic> __doc__: see ubotu above
[12:34] <_jpierre> _nano_: I did that/ I fixed the MBR and reinstalled Ubuntu.. Didn't work. I still get Grub Hard disk error
[12:34] <nnz0id> how to edit file in vi?
[12:34] <airtonix> you may want to grab the compiztools or edit the apps/compiz tree in gconf
[12:34] <avis> airtonix, i'm not interested in that.. they can take the credti for development but i dont see them unless i'm showing them off to papa.
[12:35] <thoreauputic> nnz0id: to learn basic vi, type vimtutor
[12:35] <__doc__> oh one other thing, where to set the input locale?
[12:35] <orbin> nnz0id: press i for insert mode.....i'd stick with something easier though. try nano
[12:35] <airtonix> avis : im confused.....
[12:35] <holycow> allright guys now i need a bit of tlc ...
[12:35] <nnz0id> cant nano doing a system resque
[12:35] <skippy81> !LAMP
[12:35] <holycow> i'm  not finding much help on my sound issue, i just dist upgraded from beta of a week ago .. and my sound is gone
[12:35] <orbin> nnz0id: what's that got to do w/ anything?
[12:35] <holycow> modules seem loaded and sound card seems recognized
[12:35] <nnz0id> from the dapper server cd
[12:35] <holycow> and nothing seems to be muted
[12:35] <nnz0id> it only runs sh
[12:36] <bjmg> hi
[12:36] <skippy81> hmm
[12:36] <airtonix> holycow: mmmm
[12:36] <nnz0id> and when i do nano says some error
[12:36] <holycow> any clever module tricks anyone might be aware of perhaps?
[12:36] <_nano_> _jpierre: oh i see, in my case it worked..
[12:36] <skippy81> !apache
[12:36] <ubotu> methinks apache is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ApacheMySQLPHP
[12:36] <orbin> nnz0id: ah
[12:36] <_jpierre> _nano_: Lucky you
[12:36] <avis> holycow, lsmod
[12:36] <Pjott> hmm
[12:37] <Toma-> holycow: what are u doin?
[12:37] <avis> holycow, apt-get install alsa-oss
[12:37] <OrTigaS> hi! why when i try to copy my file from Desktop to fat32 hd it said "no permission" to copy
[12:37] <orbin> in azureus, what do the numbers in brackets mean for seeds and peers?
[12:37] <avis> that would be a fstab problem i believe
[12:37] <holycow> Toma-, i'm trying to figure out why my sound is gone, but modules are loaded, sound card is recognized and nothing is muted ... :/
[12:37] <bjmg> On the website https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuWeeklyNewsletter/Issue1 you can read that there are updates for epihany-browser and other packages (section Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Updates). But they are not available on the mirrors (at least not in binary form). The source packages do exist.
[12:38] <holycow> avis, *nod*, okay that is actually already installed *nod*
[12:38] <avis> you can remove it from fstab and manually mount it
[12:38] <avis> ok
[12:38] <Toma-> holycow: speakers on?
[12:38] <avis> lsmod reporting a sound card ?
[12:38] <skippy81> OrTigaS: the easiest way to fix it is to do "gksudo nautilus" browse to the folder, right click on it and set it to read and write
[12:39] <holycow> Toma-, yeah, they worked just before the dist-upgrade infact with last weeks beta.  the weird thing is this  upgrade seems to have updated the kernel, i had to fix nvidia manually and its probably interfering with sound now too
[12:39] <avis> speakers on and plugged in ?  right click volume control and go to the sound level adjustments and or mute panel ?
[12:39] <holycow> avis, *nod*nothing muted, i tried all of those *nod*
[12:39] <Toma-> holycow: and you have rebooted?
[12:39] <holycow> several times
[12:39] <Toma-> ok
[12:39] <avis> i'm no expert and thats what you need holycow
[12:39] <holycow> i tried installing libesd-alsa ... which removed libesd0
[12:39] <holycow> reboot and nada
[12:39] <avis> i suggest ubuntuforums.org in hardware sound
[12:40] <holycow> reinstall libesd0 , reboot, nada
[12:40] <Toma-> i agree, i gotta goto the movies right now...
[12:40] <OrTigaS> skippy81,  i tries to copy then right click but the paste is not highlighted
[12:40] <holycow> avis, *nod* indeed, i'm shooting in the dark here, no one seems to know
[12:40] <protocol1> holycow, have you checked to make sure your cables were all connected properly
[12:40] <holycow> Toma-, later, thanks for the help
[12:40] <izi> hello, I have a sony laptop vaio pcg-k115z and I get random (2/per day) freezes with dapper, i have nothing in log files, what can i check ?
[12:40] <avis> ubuntuforums.org is awesome.  it gets so much traffic my posts get outdated pretty quick with the new dapper release.  no one replies !
[12:41] <avis> but to some quetions they wont be ignored
[12:41] <holycow> protocol1, well i managed to make the speakers squeal by checking the wrong input box while i had another cardin to test ... i'll try th eother port again, but this one looks green to me ...
[12:41] <Toma-> holycow: im guessing you might have had a modified /etc/modules/aliases file, and the dist-upgrade hasnt installed all the new aliases.
[12:41] <avis> mine was a query for best gnome apps that are unknown
[12:41] <skippy81> i find that the forums arnt good for really technical stuff
[12:41] <nnz0id> when i press i in vi , kinda nothing happens , how to move pointer around
[12:41] <Toma-> holycow: but thats just my first guess :( hope it points you somewhere! and sorry! :)
[12:41] <nnz0id> like in normal text editor?
[12:41] <skippy81> but the froums are a real asset for begineers
[12:41] <holycow> Toma-, oh thats interesting ... *hmm* vaguely remember something about that way back ... okay googling
[12:41] <avis> i got "tomboy" the notepad for gnome
[12:41] <holycow> Toma-, danke
[12:42] <skippy81> OrTigaS:  have you set the permissions of the folder to read and write for others?
[12:42] <cdfs> I'm having problems installing mplayer...
[12:42] <avis> then post to the mailing lists on the forums and it will be send out to the mailing lists
[12:42] <cdfs> it seems to be removed from the repository...
[12:42] <avis> or heh sign up for mailing list
[12:42] <__doc__> about the display problem, the first suggestion "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" does not work because "debconf: DbDriver "config": /var/cache/debconf/config.dat is locked by another process"
[12:43] <shrump_jimbo> i had problems with mplayer till I got the files from packages.ubuntu.com
[12:43] <avis> forums are nice because its easily accessible to everyone
[12:43] <zipper_> i'm having trouble determining the "BusID" (for xorg.conf) of my gfx card. lspci gives me "0000:04:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation...". However, if i set BusID "PCI:0000:04:00.0" i get an error about there is no device there?
[12:43] <avis> mplayer requires some additional configuration other than apt-get thats in the ubuntu documenation
[12:43] <avis> its quite nice tho
[12:43] <ubuntuNewbee> Ng: As it seems that nobody answers, it remains to me to present here the problem. I created the power user (sudoer), then a normal user. From my first account I switched (with the switch user button) to the normal account. From the normal account I chose log off and there was the problem: The greeter failed to show 6 times. After 6 times a message shows in text mode (very wired characters),...
[12:43] <ubuntuNewbee> ...that tells me that "The display server has been shut down about 6 times in the last 90 seconds. I is likely that something bad is going on. Waiting for 2 minutes before trying again on display :0". After 2 minutes nothing happens.
[12:43] <nnz0id> how can i add lines from command line to a file ? cant vi it coz vi sux
[12:43] <ubuntuNewbee> What do you think about that?
[12:43] <Healot> does your X start? zipper_
[12:44] <zipper_> Healot, no
[12:44] <avis> so is Muine
[12:44] <jhunter> I'm a new user, struggling to get the drivers working for my nVidia GeForce3 Ti200 working. The standard directings  just cause the system to hang, so I'm now in the  NvidiaManual part trying to install the drivers manually. I'm up to the stage sudo chmod +x NVIDIA*, but all I get is 'no such file or directory' - Anyone able to help?
[12:44] <zipper_> if i remove BusID it works fine, but i need the setting for dualview (or well, i hope so at least)
[12:44] <airtonix> Healot: does it work when you set it to PCI:0000:01:0:0
[12:44] <orbin> zipper_: that's equiv. to : "PCI:4:0:0" i think
[12:45] <dennis_> hello Im new to linux i have the ubuntu breeze on my pc and tried to update to this new drake one it did everything with no errors but i could not log in my user name and password dint work any more
[12:45] <Healot> airtonix: that wasn't my question ---? zipper_
[12:45] <Ng> ubuntuNewbee: hmm, I've not come across that before. Perhaps check /var/log/Xorg.* for errors?
[12:45] <airtonix> Healot: woops lol......
[12:45] <a_monkey> Does anyone here have experience with the "suspend" function for laptops? mine suspends fine, but locks up totaly when trying to boot up again when i open the screen.
[12:45] <avis> jhunter
[12:45] <skippy81> ubuntuNewbee:  same thing happened on my gentoo installation - i just ran "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and that fixed it
[12:45] <zipper_> orbin, think i've tried that, but i'll check it out
[12:45] <orbin> a_monkey: ati card?
[12:45] <a_monkey> Nvidia
[12:45] <delire> dennis_: does it take you straight back to the login screen?
[12:45] <orbin> zipper_: just do a reconfig of the xorg package and it will autodetect the id for you
[12:45] <dennis_> yes
[12:45] <avis> there should be native nvidia drivers you can apt-get from the repositories that are official nvidia
[12:46] <zipper_> Healot, x does not start, it only gives me that error and shuts down. if i remove BusID it works fine, but i need the setting for dualview (or well, i hope so at least)
[12:46] <avis> i got them upgrading to XGL
[12:46] <ubuntuNewbee> Ng: but have you used that functionality before?
[12:46] <delire> dennis_: do you see anything of the desktop before it dumps you back?
[12:46] <DarkLegacy> How do I change my PCMCIA's cards model ?
[12:46] <holycow> dennis_, at the begging, select 'safe mode' or whatever it is in grub where you haveto press f1 or whatever ... when it loads you will have root priviledges.  you can use adduser command to create a new user and go from there maybe?
[12:46] <zipper_> orbin, yes, but i need to manually specify the busid to get dualview. Reconfiguring won't give me that setting
[12:46] <DarkLegacy> It's listed as CEM56 in Device Manager, but it's really REM56G-100
[12:46] <orbin> in azureus, what do the numbers in brackets mean for seeds and peers? e.g seeds: 3(2)
[12:46] <ubuntuNewbee> skippy81: I'd do that, but the system doesn't allow me to enter command line
[12:47] <dennis_> no only like windows hourglass wait symbol
[12:47] <Healot> zipper_: is your card nv or ati?
[12:47] <holycow> zipper_, are you using nvidia?
[12:47] <a_monkey> orbin, Nvidia 6600
[12:47] <zipper_> nvidia geforce7900gt
[12:47] <delire> dennis_: hmm. have you ever used the console before?
[12:47] <Morrowyn> should work
[12:47] <izi> does anyone have a vaio laptop here ?
[12:47] <skippy81> ubuntuNewbee: it should, either boot in recovery mode, or just hit control alt backspace to escape from x windows and get to a prompt
[12:47] <holycow> zipper_, want my xorg.conf file ... i run dual screen with dualview?
[12:47] <zipper_> holycow, yes please
[12:47] <Healot> for each card you can download all the neccessary packages for multi-monitor...
[12:47] <dennis_> no sorry im very new to linux
[12:47] <Morrowyn> zipper, let me feed you me dual setup xorg.conf
[12:48] <delire> dennis_: a friend had a similar problem we just fixed. but you need to do a little command or two from the console.
[12:48] <Morrowyn> that one works for the 7900gtx i have
[12:48] <zipper_> Morrowyn, keep 'em comming, the more the marrier :)
[12:48] <Morrowyn> brb
[12:48] <holycow> zipper_, accept
[12:48] <skippy81> or ubuntuNewbee you could use control-alt-F2 to open a terminal and log in through that
[12:48] <delire> dennis_: this happened after an upgrade?
[12:48] <DarkLegacy> I have network problems. Help
[12:48] <avis> i was able to apt-get install a kernel or something that allowed me to get "nvidia native" drivers for the kernel.. i had to edit xorg.conf and change nv to nvidia
[12:48] <dennis_> yes
[12:48] <zipper_> holycow, hmm, xchat seem to have some sort of auto-ignore dcc's... 2 secs
[12:48] <TimothyP> Hi, I have the latest ubuntu on my pc, my pc contains numerous NTFS drives which I want to read from, I see them in "My Computer" but when I try to access them it can't seem to mount them I get the following error: <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:48] <orbin> a_monkey: i don't have an nvidia card but it could be driver related..that's why i saked.
[12:48] <dennis_> 2 times i have last version cd
[12:48] <TimothyP> err... wrong copy paste :p
[12:48] <orbin> s/saked/asked
[12:48] <avis> DarkLegacy, hey guy whats going on ?
[12:48] <ubuntuNewbee> skippy81: control-alt-F2 has no effect when that problem appears
[12:48] <holycow> no worries
[12:49] <TimothyP> error: device /dev/sdb5 is not removable
[12:49] <delire> dennis_: sounds very similar. so i want to be sure before we go on. you try to login, you get the little clock-wheel and then it dumps you back to the login screen
[12:49] <TimothyP> error: could not execute pmount
[12:49] <jhunter> I tried to install the nVidia drivers from the reppository - they just caused my screen to go blank and I had to replace the xorg.conf with a backup
[12:49] <skippy81> ubuntuNewbee: just reboot and use recovery kernel mode then
[12:49] <dennis_> exactly
[12:49] <skippy81> its just standard but without x being loaded
[12:49] <zipper_> holycow and Morrowyn, try sending xorg.conf again
[12:49] <TimothyP> jhunter, apt-get install nvidia-glx     and   nvidia-glx-config enable ?
[12:49] <avis> i made the mistake of not backing up my xorg.conf but i didn't make a mistake of misediting xorg.conf
[12:49] <delire> dennis_: ok type CTRL-ALT-F2
[12:49] <kholerabb1> Can I install skype through synaptic or aptitude or do I have to download it from there website?
[12:49] <holycow> try now
[12:49] <delire> dennis_: you should see a text-only login prompt. type in your username and password.
[12:49] <michael__> hello all. I would like if anyone can help me change GRUB so that windows is the default OS on launch.
[12:50] <avis> i believe you have to download the deb
[12:50] <avis> for skype
[12:50] <dennis_> well i cant do that now im back on the older version i re installed
[12:50] <zipper_> holycow, i'll get here on another irc client
[12:50] <steve343> im very new to linux how do i make a fat32 partition write acessable?
[12:50] <holycow> zipper_, http://pastebin.com/759410
[12:50] <hoary> michael__: open /boot/grub/menu.lst and change default value to what windows is
[12:50] <zipper_> ah, thanks
[12:50] <holycow> i just put it on pastebing, copy paste as you like, i hope it helps
[12:50] <kholerabb1> avis.. hmm ok
[12:50] <themike> steve: have you already an entry in the /etc/fstab file?
[12:50] <jhunter> Perhaps I'm doing something wrong - installing the confis automatically uninstalls the glx and also vice versa
[12:50] <delire> dennis_: ahah, then i can't help you sadly ;/ i can only fix the problem on the Dapper.
[12:50] <dennis_> im writing this down
[12:50] <delire> dennis_: ok.
[12:50] <avis> michael__, let me fetch you a url
[12:50] <steve343> you see i dont even know what that means
[12:51] <avis> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto#head-28c697721b2f5d2352e43074a55f4621c415293d
[12:51] <gnott> anyone here about pxe-boot? how to use the dapper install cd for pxeboot
[12:51] <themike> are you seeing the content of your fat partition?
[12:51] <dennis_> i do like this operating system just not very good at it yet
[12:51] <delire> dennis_: pm me.. so i can give you instructions
[12:51] <michael__> thanks all
[12:51] <steve343> yes but i cant save too it
[12:51] <guillem101> How can I use startx for a user?
[12:51] <kholerabb1> avis: do you know how to install skype form the deb? Could you explain please?
[12:51] <avis> guillem101, i haven't heard anyone discussing disabling gdm
[12:51] <TimothyP> you're not root steve343
[12:52] <steve343> its unbuntu tho isnt it
[12:52] <steve343> there is no root
[12:52] <avis> i did get rid of boot splash and got console to 1024x768
[12:52] <themike> open the file /etc/fstab as root
[12:52] <orbin> avis: heh, same here
[12:52] <alth> Hmm. I installed grub-splashimages, but does anyone know how I actually use the image I want?
[12:52] <steve343> do i have to do that every time?
[12:52] <themike> no just once
[12:52] <delire> dennis_: see my PM?
[12:52] <dennis_> new to this chat too did i do that right?
[12:52] <guillem101> avis, don't want to disable gdm, just to be able to startx.... because I'm using Xgl and I want a non-xgl server as well
[12:52] <avis> system-preferences-splash screen
[12:53] <themike> there you should find a line like this: "/dev/hdxx /your/folder vfat ......"
[12:53] <avis> ok
[12:53] <themike> show me this line
[12:53] <delire> dennis_: you should see a private message session somewhere in your IRC client.
[12:53] <avis> well i get standard X unless i type thefuture in gnome console
[12:53] <ePierre> hello
[12:53] <steve343> how do i open it as root?
[12:54] <Guardian> re
[12:54] <steve_> hey, does anyone know how i can get ubuntu to use the windows key? i actually want it so that when i press "windows + d" it will minimise everything and go to the deskop
[12:54] <dennis_> i have you pm
[12:54] <themike> type "alt-f2" and then "gksudo gedit /etc/fstab"
[12:54] <avis> guillem101, look at this http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=131267 it saved my life
[12:54] <delire> dennis_: anyway, i'll do it here. fix 1) login into the text only console and try the following. first 'chmod 777 ~/.ICEauthority'. then go back to the gnome login screen with CTRL-ALT-F7 and try to login
[12:54] <avis> hacking away at the comp for about 4 hours figuring out why it would not work anymore !
[12:55] <Guardian> i asked this morning about choosing between desktop cd or server cd, if i don't want to alter MBR, i have to choose server install cd or alternate install cd right ???
[12:55] <Morrowyn> zipper_,  http://www.morrowyn.org/x/xorg.conf
[12:55] <Morrowyn> this works for a gf7900gtx pcie
[12:55] <avis> i just think the visual aesthetics is more condusive to grouping and using multiple destkops especially if yuo are migrating from windows -- plus it looks awesome by mouse
[12:56] <delire> dennis_: if that doesn't work try fix 2) go back to the txt-only console with CTRL-ALT-F2 and 'rm -f ~/.Xauthority'. then go back to the login screen with CTRL-ALT-F7 and try to login.
[12:56] <Morrowyn> i miss expose :D
[12:56] <steve_> anyone?
[12:56] <ubuntuNewbee> Ng: Are you there?
[12:56] <zipper_> Morrowyn, thanks
[12:56] <avis> Guardian either one of those is going to have grub on the system so if you dont have grub you can always make a grub floppy or cd
[12:56] <liquidindian> !xfree
[12:56] <ubotu> liquidindian: Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[12:56] <liquidindian> Hmm
[12:56] <Morrowyn> steve, look into the metamode/key or something
[12:57] <dennis_> ok thank you ill try upgrade this again
[12:57] <avis> liquidindian, what tribe is uhm your ubuntu ? :)
[12:57] <delire> dennis_: if *that* doesn't let you login try this: fix 3) go to the text-only console and "mv ~/.gconf ~/.gconf.old'. then try to login again.
[12:57] <steve343> why is it blank?
[12:57] <steve_> Morrowyn: where is that?
[12:57] <liquidindian> avis, erm, huh?
[12:57] <kati> r0bby where are you from?
[12:57] <Nolt> hello
[12:58] <avis> liquidindian, lack of sleep -- appologize
[12:58] <Morrowyn> you migth wanna check:  keyboard shortcut in preferences
[12:58] <delire> dennis_: that last one is a little serious as you'll end up losing _all_ your preferences.
[12:58] <avis> or namaste
[12:58] <Guardian> avis: i have currently have a multiboot and i'm afraid desktop cd won't let me choose on which partition to install and wether or not grub should be placed on the mbr
[12:58] <steve_> Morrowyn: thanks
[12:58] <Morrowyn> under gnome, in kde i think its somewhere in the control center
[12:58] <liquidindian> liquidindian, oh, okay:  I'm sorry.
[12:58] <delire> dennis_: eg desktop shortcuts, desktop background, applets and stuff.
[12:58] <rixxon> what do i use to convert some .ogg to .mp3?
[12:58] <Ng> Guardian: the alternative install disc is probably the best way to go
[12:58] <themike> have you entered you password? then open now the file "/etc/fstab"
[12:58] <avis> Guardian the alternate cd is a piece of cake
[12:58] <steve343> it doesnt ask for a password
[12:58] <dennis_> i dont have any as yet i just got the cd about 2 weeks before the upgrade and have been exploring the system
[12:58] <themike> strange
[12:59] <ubuntuNewbee> Ng: When you have time, please test that thing out. The problem is consistent. It keeps showing
[12:59] <Alcohol> Hey guys. Is there a tool similar to partition magic available on Linux? I would like to install Windows XP alongside Ubuntu, but I don't want to have to reformat and partition everything again -and- reinstall Ubuntu too.

[01:00] <Nolt> anybody ??
[01:00] <kati> do anybody know how to change the room?
[01:00] <Guardian> one more question, what differs between desktop cd  and server cd + ubuntu-desktop package ???
[01:00] <guillem101> avis, wow, just choosing "new entry" asks me wether to use Xgl or standard X :-))))
[01:00] <avis> Guardian, learn grub
[01:00] <holycow> knoppix comes with a whole ton of tools on live cd, including qtparted if anyone cares
[01:00] <holycow> brb
[01:00] <kati> :-/
[01:00] <Ng> Guardian: in theory, nothing
[01:00] <sybariten> still thousands of users ?

[01:00] <Ng> kati: /join #channelname

[01:00] <steve343> it gives a warning saying it didnt work

[01:01] <avis> i had to think back
[01:01] <kati> hi nervchen
[01:01] <avis> perhaps you need a text or expert mode

[01:02] <Morrowyn> nevchen_, some more info on your problem might be useful
[01:02] <Bladesonfire> Does anyone know if the PPC version of the server install CD does not include the easy LAMP install option?
[01:02] <themike> rixxon: maybe you have to install some libs 4 the audio-codecs too, so just look into "/usr/share/nautilus-scripts/ConvertAudioFile" after the installation
[01:02] <nevchen_> it's a pcmcia network card
[01:02] <alth> sybariten: Try install the Debian menu, sudo apt-get install menu
[01:02] <steve343> anyone?
[01:02] <alth> Er, symetric *
[01:02] <nevchen_> @ breezy the card works very well
[01:02] <Morrowyn> symetric, after you installed it, it should created a menu in the gnome menu: crossover
[01:02] <kati> Ng:Can you tell me a 'channelname'??

[01:09] <sybariten> Morrowyn: yeah, thats ecxactly what i want to do   :)
[01:09] <k3mper> how should i install kernel source which is used in default distribution? (linux-source gets me <IP_ADDRESS>-ubuntu1 but uname -r = 2.6.15-23-386 - dapper)
[01:09] <Morrowyn> hmmm, xfce should be caffeine free
[01:09] <workbean> guys, if someone is buying a PC that will eventually run ubuntu is there a reference hardware spec that he can refer too?
[01:10] <avis> k3mper, apt-get install build-essential
[01:10] <Whyvas> i've got the 4319 and it works wuth cutter and ndiswrapper
[01:10] <avis> or essentials
[01:10] <avis> workbean, i believe its common sense
[01:10] <liquidindian> !xfree86
[01:10] <ubotu> liquidindian: Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[01:10] <avis> though there are supproted chipsetes by kernel etc
[01:11] <Healot> liquidindian: ubuntu comes ith xorg as the X server
[01:11] <avis> and there have been lists of laptops and desktops that did or did not work under ubuntu etc
[01:11] <Morrowyn> http://xfce.wikia.com/wiki/Tips,_Tricks_and_Howtos#How_do_I_configure_Xkb sybariten
[01:11] <shriphani> Ubugtu: any idea about audio managers of ubuntu

[01:11] <liquidindian> Healot, I'm getting funny lines when playing video using xine.
[01:11] <ed__> Anyone in here use Blender?
[01:12] <shriphani> !audio_managers
[01:12] <ubotu> shriphani: What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[01:12] <workbean> thanks vis
[01:12] <Morrowyn> ed__, not really, im a maya man
[01:12] <avis> k3mper, you dont need bleeding edge for computer to work under linux
[01:12] <shriphani> hmm anyone can help me ?
[01:12] <Morrowyn> but orange.blender.org shows what you cando with oss graphics software though
[01:12] <Morrowyn> it amazed me
[01:12] <avis> what is an audio manager, shriphani
[01:13] <k3mper> avis: what? i need kernel source of default kernel in dapper (i386)
[01:13] <Healot> liquidindian: type of media played?
[01:13] <ed__> I use to use Maya but I left the company and I will not buy it.
[01:13] <liquidindian> Healot, avi
[01:13] <shriphani> something like garageband
[01:13] <avis> yes k3mper build-essentialls i believe fetches the kernel soruces
[01:13] <avis> i thought
[01:13] <avis> best bet
[01:13] <avis> use synaptic
[01:13] <Healot> ok, is 3D support enabled, liquidindian?
[01:13] <avis> search for kernel
[01:13] <avis> look for source
[01:13] <shriphani> or an industrial audio manager
[01:13] <avis> industrial ?
[01:14] <shriphani> yeh
[01:14] <avis> heh
[01:14] <shriphani> like frequency modification, pitch modification and the like
[01:14] <avis> ahh ok i have no idea.  nothing that sophisticated.
[01:14] <Morrowyn> ed, true, its rather expensive
[01:14] <bajker_> i will try ndiswrapper, how can i restrict driver bcm43xx load on startup? in blacklist?
[01:15] <Morrowyn> and now that autodeskk own alias, i dont see any bright future for maya
[01:15] <Morrowyn> own.owns
[01:15] <avis> shriphani, mplayer after its properly configured has a equalizer
[01:15] <liquidindian> Healot oo, how do I check that?
[01:15] <avis> you have to read setup docs though
[01:15] <ed__> do you have it installed on Linux?
[01:15] <shriphani> erm only an equaliser ?
[01:15] <Morrowyn> but when i wrapped my maya stuff, im going to learn blender
[01:15] <Morrowyn> ed, open synaptic
[01:15] <Morrowyn> do a search on blender
[01:15] <shriphani> not a pitch modification or something like that ?
[01:15] <Morrowyn> mark it, also mark ; yafray (thats a raytracer for blender)
[01:15] <Healot> liquidindian: are you using ati/nvidia card?
[01:16] <Morrowyn> and sit and wait
[01:16] <avis> shriphani, i'm not going to say it doesn't exist
[01:16] <avis> i'm going to say i have no clue
[01:16] <liquidindian> healot let me check
[01:16] <shriphani> ok
[01:16] <shriphani> ok
[01:16] <avis> perhaps ubuntuforums.org can help you find the app you need
[01:16] <shriphani> hmm lemme get back to gnome
[01:16] <Morrowyn> ed__, yes i have it running on ubuntu btw :)

[01:26] <joycetick> how do you get out of ctrl+alt+f1?
[01:26] <futlib> literally, I change my profile to home @home and from that moment on, the work profile has the home profiles settings
[01:26] <mattm591> futlib, i found the first few times i started ubuntu i had to set up my ethernet again but it remembered it eventualy. as for its slowness maybe your computers you just need a faster pc :P
[01:26] <themike> lutlib: the profile-thing doesn't work for me too
[01:26] <mattm591> joycetick ctrl+alt+f7
[01:26] <themike> futlib: the profile-thing doesn't work for me too
[01:26] <futlib> mattm591, I don't think this is the case, everything else is fast
[01:26] <futlib> it just takes more than one minute to switch a profile, and another minute when I click "okay" then
[01:26] <joycetick> thanks mattm591
[01:26] <mattm591> futlib, i don't know then, by slow do u mean it takes it a long time to enable a network connection?
[01:27] <futlib> mattm591, yes, think that's what it does
[01:27] <mattm591> futlib, ah i see. yeah this happens to me too, but i just figure it's part of life.
[01:27] <the_rock> hi chickas
[01:27] <mattm591> futlib, it tends to be slowest for me when it's not going to work
[01:27] <futlib> mattm591, I think this sucks. everyday when I get to work, I have to invest about three minutes of waiting for this
[01:27] <k3mper> where can i get source package of dapper's default kernel image (i386)?
[01:27] <futlib> which just is too long since there' usually a lot to do in the morning
[01:28] <mattm591> futlib, fraid i don't know what you can do about that sorry
[01:28] <mattm591> does no one know where i can get alsa libraries?
[01:28] <futlib> hm. but this is a gnome tool, right?
[01:28] <DarkLegacy> I'm having problems with eth0.
[01:29] <DarkLegacy> It's not getting anything from DHCP server.
[01:29] <zipper|> This is very strange... The gfxcard has 2xdvi outputs, which i use for lcd monitor+a hdtv. Trying different parts of your cfgs Morrowyn, the tv is the primary display, no matter which DVI port i put it in. Isnt that a bit wierd? Is it possible to manually define which monitor should be the primary display?
[01:29] <hyphenated> futlib: network-admin is an annoying little b**** for me in breezy :-) haven't upgraded to dapper to see if it's still that way
[01:29] <mattm591> DarkLegacy, do you mean you have no internet connection?
[01:29] <hyphenated> futlib: I gave up on it and resort to 'sudo ifup eth0' etc in a terminal
[01:30] <ccooke> Heh.
[01:30] <ccooke> This weekend I updated my dad's laptop and desktop to Dapper
[01:30] <ccooke> ... as a result, he's decided that he'll be perfectly happy to do the next upgrade on his own
[01:31] <Healot> you suck at upgrading, ccooke, hehe
[01:31] <DarkMageZ> Healot, that comment isn't appropriate for this channel
[01:31] <Healot> just kidding...
[01:32] <Healot> I joke, I joke
[01:32] <mattm591> tut tut
[01:32] <drayen> Just installed Dapper on my shiny new Ferrari 4002 Acer laptop (Wide screen ATI x700, 64bit AMD) but the screen goes black when it tried to launch into the window manager... i've read somewhere that i need to change the primary display back to the LCD, but dont know how to do this.. anyone help?
[01:32] <DarkLegacy> I need help with my PCMCIA card.
[01:32] <DarkLegacy> It's there, detected by Linux, working, but unable to connect to the internet or get an IP from my router.
[01:33] <iiiears> ndiswrapper still gave me fits upgrading to dapper. -  I guess Breezy will just have to do for now. lol
[01:33] <faisal_d> hi, where does apt-get store the cached packages when downloaded?
[01:33] <zipper|> drayen, if you find out how to define which is the primary display, please speak up
[01:33] <mattm591> DarkLegacy, are you using onboard ethernet or a card. if its onboard it wouldn't happen to be an nforce would it
[01:33] <Morrowyn> zipper, dunno, i think either the left or right dvi is the primary display
[01:33] <drayen> zipper|, you got the same problem?
[01:33] <squiddle> faisal_d  /var/cache/apt/
[01:34] <Morrowyn> never looked into it
[01:34] <faisal_d> squiddle, thanx :)
[01:34] <hyphenated> drayen: not sure if it'll help, but my xorg.conf has a line saying this in the "Device" section: Option          "MonitorLayout"         "LVDS, NONE"
[01:34] <hyphenated>
[01:34] <iiiears> can't complain to loudly though. - gutenprint improved printer installation to a few clicks. - much improved.
[01:34] <squiddle> faisal_d  apt-get autoclean entfernt alle alten *.debs
[01:34] <drayen> hyphenated, humm will give that a try.... where should i find the xorg.conf?
[01:35] <hyphenated> drayen: /etc/X11/xorg.conf .. make a backup copy first :-)
[01:35] <ndazza> Hi! i'm having problems booting ubuntu dapper drake. The Desktop CD hangs at 'mounting root partitions' or something. Any ideas what could be wrong?
[01:35] <squiddle> faisal_d  apt-get autoclean removes all old .debs :)
[01:35] <hyphenated> drayen: I'm not using dapper yet, but I had that in there to make it work nicely on breezy
[01:35] <zipper|> drayen, well, not really. I'm setting up dualview, but my tv keeps on being the primary display no matter what dvi port i put it in.
[01:36] <junior_> drayen: always, always... make a backup
[01:36] <zipper|> Morrowyn, leftof/rightof only changes the position, the tv is still the primary display
[01:36] <Morrowyn> yup
[01:36] <Mikelo> hey guys when i type something in the terminal how do i know the actual location of the binary?
[01:36] <Morrowyn> leftof mean the second monitor is leftof your primary
[01:36] <ndazza> Mikelo: whereis <binary>
[01:36] <Morrowyn> and rightof
[01:36] <Morrowyn> well....
[01:36] <zipper|> Morrowyn, so i need to find a way to make my monitor the primary display, not the tv
[01:37] <Morrowyn> just
[01:37] <Morrowyn> switch the cables
[01:37] <Mikelo> ndazza, that simple? ok!!
[01:37] <Morrowyn> at the back of your vidcard
[01:37] <zipper|> i've tried swapping dvi cables, but as i said before, that doesnt work
[01:37] <Morrowyn> if both are dvi, should be a problem
[01:37] <zipper|> and i cannot comprehend why
[01:37] <zipper|> they are
[01:37] <Morrowyn> oh ok
[01:37] <Morrowyn> thats odd
[01:37] <Mikelo> ndazza, i got two files, how do i unlink one of them?
[01:37] <ndazza> Mikelo: also: which <binary>
[01:38] <Morrowyn> you might
[01:38] <zipper|> yeah, so i'm searching the manual for anything that might look like a "primarydisplay" option
[01:38] <tony14764> Anyone good with tvtime?
[01:38] <zipper|> no luck so far though =/
[01:38] <avis> i see no reason why i cannot stay up another 18 hours without sleep
[01:38] <Morrowyn> and extra id in the metamodes
[01:38] <ndazza> Mikelo: you probably need them both. whereis will also report the location of the man page
[01:38] <Morrowyn> like metamodes: crt0: 1280x1024  crt1: etc.
[01:38] <iiiears> avis - Sleep is for people without the internet. - grin
[01:38] <iiiears> more caffiene please...
[01:38] <zipper|> hmm
[01:39] <avis> i'm just immersing and sharing :)
[01:39] <zipper|> i think i tried that, and making tvout standard HD720p, but that didnt change much
[01:39] <avis> i've got a goal in mind and these are essential-babysteps
[01:39] <Morrowyn> zipper|, how does your xorg.conf look like/
[01:39] <Morrowyn> can you paste it?
[01:39] <Morrowyn> in the pastebin ofc
[01:39] <Healot> to pastebin of course
[01:40] <zipper|> uhm
[01:40] <zipper|> with my last attempt i only got 2 black screens, so i might have a hard time getting my xorg.conf out, but lemme give it a try
[01:40] <zipper|> brb
[01:40] <drayen> hyphenated, that seemdd to work... resolution is rubish, but i can work on that
[01:40] <avis> i have dyndns.org service.  can this be used in a server configuration for a router that uses pppoe to distribute connections and run a server on it ?
[01:41] <hyphenated> drayen: yeah, that's a different issue :-)
[01:41] <avis> it also mentioned something about mx mail.
[01:42] <Healot> avis: just ignore the mx if you don/t have any... you just need to register the IP address to get your Internet service working
[01:42] <chamo> hello
[01:42] <alth> Hmm, I've installed the flashplugin-nonfree package, but Firefox still wants to install it :\
[01:42] <drayen> hyphenated, wow - its says i have a refresh rate of -13785Hz ??? and is stuck at 640x480 :(
[01:42] <avis> ok i have done that however i am trying to figure out how to utilize the service for my linux learning needs either server or application wise
[01:42] <hyphenated> excellent.
[01:43] <Healot> alth: have you restart FF?
[01:43] <mwe> alth: the official ubuntu firefox?
[01:43] <alth> Healot: Yeah.
[01:43] <avis> my router logs in for me since its a dynamic ip that doesn't chance
[01:43] <alth> mwe: Yeah.
[01:43] <avis> change
[01:43] <Healot> avis: do you know any dyndns client?
[01:43] <zipper_> Hmm, Morrowyn, if i remove the TV cable from my card, x starts up fine on my monitor, and the resolution is even correct. My xorg file is here : http://pastebin.dk/index.php?show=1740
[01:43] <avis> drayden it could not recognize your monitor ?
[01:43] <Morrowyn> ok
[01:44] <avis> client ?
[01:44] <drayen> avis, it seemed to when i looked in xorg.conf
[01:44] <alth> Er, mwe*
[01:44] <avis> zipper dont plug anything next to the pci slot next to your agp
[01:44] <mwe> alth: I don't know why it didn't do it, but make sure there is a link in /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/ to the plugin
[01:44] <Healot>  alth: nothing to do with kernel
[01:44] <Morrowyn> zipper, thats a funky xorg
[01:45] <Healot> maybe the link to the plugin is missing
[01:45] <zipper_> avis, i dont have anything there
[01:45] <Morrowyn> take my xorg.conf  , and place your tv refresh rates on the secondmonitor spot
[01:45] <zipper_> i have a audigy4 4 slots from the gfx card
[01:45] <minimec> Hi folks. I have a question about 'beagle'. First time I tried 'beagle' on a breezy machine, I had to load the the beagled-deamon and then the 'best' Software to have an icon in the systray and the 'F12'-function. In dapper, it seems that loading the beagled-deamon should do both... loding the deamon and the search mask. But I don't have any icon in the systray and no F12-funciton. Did I miss something?
[01:45] <alth> flashplayer.xpt  mwe?
[01:45] <alth> minimec: beagle-search ^_^
[01:45] <avis> zipper if you have nothing in yoru xorg.conf regarding the detection of the monitor you need to run something so you can manually enter the refresh rates yourself
[01:45] <drayen> avis, yes, the screen section lists it as 1280x800, which is correct - but KDE is only running at 640x480
[01:46] <alth> Healot: It's just the wiki page said it'd only work on 386. Or something.
[01:46] <avis> ctrl + alt + plus ?
[01:46] <avis> a couple of times ?
[01:46] <Healot> alth: really, the kernel doesn't matter, expect for 64-bit CPUs and Mac CPUs
[01:46] <avis> or system preferences
[01:46] <avis> screen resolution
[01:47] <ndazza> alth: that'd probablye be i386 (as opposed to x86_64 or ppc)
[01:47] <alth> Ah.
[01:47] <Healot> alth: open the Firefox Preference.... find the Edit Action button... see if the dialog have SWF file in it?
[01:47] <chamo> I can't reinstall xorg-driver-fglrx!! any idea how to resolve this http://pastebin.com/759493 ?
[01:47] <minimec> alth: Ok :-) But I still don't have any Icon in the systray and no F12? DO I always have to start the beagle-search again?
[01:48] <alth> Open up the what, Healot?
[01:48] <Mikelo> anybody here play gav?
[01:48] <alth> minimec: Dunno, I just put a launcher to it in my Gnome toolbar ^_^
[01:48] <Healot> alth: your PC casing, hehe
[01:48] <holycow> allright
[01:48] <avis> i'm afraid my french is very limited
[01:48] <holycow> anyone having that no sound problem after dist upgrading to dapper?
[01:49] <GuerillaTactiks> Is it possible to accelerate gnome or kde using the gfx card?
[01:49] <alth> Healot: Eh?
[01:49] <drayen> Anyone else got a widescreen laptop with a rez of 1280x800? can they tell me what they have in thier Monitor Section of xorg.conf?
[01:49] <holycow> i solved my problem anyone need to know what it was?
[01:49] <avis> holycow why dont you do the dirty deed and backup your data and do a proper dapper final install cd ?
[01:49] <minimec> alth: OK. That should do it, but... Hmm... what about F12?
[01:49] <avis> its just a days work getting things back to normal :)
[01:49] <holycow> avis, dude, your not talking to a newb
[01:49] <alth> drayen: I do, but it's not booted at the moment. Sorry.
[01:49] <alth> minimec: What do you mean?
[01:50] <avis> holycow, i dont care at what level of linux experience you are at but if you want to resolve your sound issues i gave you one solution to do so.
[01:50] <holycow> avis, the thing about linux is that you are not permanently stuck as a newb unlike windows, one graduates to the next level of l33tness every time you resolve an issue :)
[01:50] <zipper_> Morrowyn, i'm not sure about the metamodes... Should they be "MonitorResolution,TVResolution" ?
[01:50] <holycow> avis, did i ask  you for a solution?
[01:50] <holycow> avis, please read what people read more carefully, it helps
[01:51] <ocenanda> Salut  tous (hi all) !!
[01:51] <avis> your whining about soundcard not working and you've been taking advice from everyone
[01:51] <darth_> hey i need to talk to somebody about using the LiveCD
[01:51] <BarBaz> hi. I'm unable to open windows disks i see in Places->Computer. Is it expected behaviour?
[01:51] <darth_> can i get a PM?
[01:51] <vader> drayen, I am using 1280x763 on my  lappy
[01:51] <BarBaz> .. both fat and ntfs
[01:51] <minimec> alth: Normally in a working beagle-configuration, you should be able to fire up the search engine with F12 (see beagle-settings)
[01:51] <holycow> avis, go f your self bro
[01:51] <GuerillaTactiks> Is ubuntu inconsistant, because I followed the instructions to play mpeg4 (xvid) and they still dont play
[01:51] <holycow> :) no really
[01:51] <reZo> What's a random NIC that's supported in Ubuntu?
[01:51] <alth> F12 doesn't work for me, minimec.
[01:52] <avis> holycow your language is gutter talk and this is not the place for that kind of behavior
[01:52] <holycow> lol
[01:52] <reZo> darth_, where abouts in New Zealand are you from?
[01:52] <Healot> holycow !
[01:52] <holycow> go away assface :)
[01:52] <holycow> anyway
[01:52] <avis> perhaps if you learned how to behave like a gentleman and grew up you might learn a few thigns
[01:52] <avis> thigns
[01:52] <reZo> Shit
[01:52] <avis> things
[01:52] <holycow> lol
[01:52] <holycow> avis, your a retard
[01:52] <holycow> anyway
[01:52] <GuerillaTactiks> holycow go away
[01:52] <holycow> anyone still having that no sound problem?
[01:52] <holycow> i've got a potential solution
[01:52] <ndazza> was anyone having it to begin with?
[01:53] <minimec> alth: Well it doesn't work for me either, but I would like it to work...
[01:53] <concept10> where are security updates/bulletins for ubuntu posted?
[01:53] <holycow> actually yep ndazza
[01:53] <holycow> lots of people
[01:53] <ndazza> perhaps a wiki page would be appropriate then
[01:53] <GuerillaTactiks> I get a no video problem in avi files..  sound is fine
[01:53] <holycow> ndazza, perhaps it would, if you like you can make one, i know there was someone here looking for the solution tho, i'm only interestedin helping them
[01:54] <alth> minimec: Perhaps bind a global key combination to it?
[01:54] <alth> In gconf?
[01:55] <drayen> vader, humm... not sure if that will cut it
[01:55] <vader> mine is a Compaq Presario V2555CA
[01:56] <minimec> alth: Even that sohould be possible, I do agree with you. But this is a function that normally beagle should handle, not the windows-manager. So beagle still semms to be a little buggy in dapper...
[01:56] <concept10> Seveas, where could I get that usplash preview app
[01:56] <chamo> any idea how I can corretly reinstall xorg-driver-fglrx??? I have an error "dpkg-divert: mismatch on divert-to
[01:56] <chamo> "
[01:56] <chamo> cf http://pastebin.com/759493
[01:56] <chamo> thus I cant launch X anymore :/
[01:57] <alth> minimec: Agreed.
[01:57] <minimec> alth: Ok. THX anyway...
[01:57] <minimec> alth: cu
[01:58] <Bobakitoo> hi, ubuntu server use kernel linux-image-server but no linux-restricted-server is avaible. do i need to change kernel to desktop one(witch include nvidia stuff) in order to get my wireless card to work?
[01:58] <chamo> Anyone got an idea? Im stuck since a few days :/
[01:58] <dou213> chamo, reboot into failsafe and do "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg"
[01:58] <alth> Peace, minimec.
[01:58] <freaks> hi there
[01:58] <thoreauputic> holycow: enough is enough - you passed the barrier with your recent remarks
[01:58] <dou213> your x server should start then
[01:59] <NUB> !x
[01:59] <ubotu> somebody said x was a portable, network-transparent window system.
[01:59] <avis> anyone bored and on a non-production computer but a desktop ?  try XGL :)  it rocks !!!
[02:00] <Bobakitoo> where are the ath_pci module in ubuntu server? (the initial install had the wireless card working but installed kernel do not suport it)
[02:00] <ndazza> avis: i would but dapper won't install :-.
[02:00] <avis> ndazza, what are your issues ?
[02:00] <NUB> !x ati
[02:00] <ubotu> NUB: Did you get hit by a windmill? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[02:00] <avis> there are different upgrade steps for different level distros
[02:01] <ndazza> cd won't boot. Attempts to boot, gives me the installer options screen, choosing any option (except memtest or boot off 1st hd) causes installer to hang on "mounting root partitions"
[02:01] <chamo> dou213, even without network ?
[02:01] <avis> before you tried to boot the cd did you check against md5sum ?
[02:01] <ndazza> avis: yes
[02:02] <avis> ok
[02:02] <nnz0id> ndazza disconnect all usb devices that u have
[02:02] <avis> i would do a low level format of the hard drive
[02:02] <avis> powmax is popular and works on a variety of ide drives
[02:02] <ndazza> nnz0id: ok...
[02:02] <nnz0id> theres a thread on forums with the same problem
[02:02] <dou213> chamo, what do u mean even without network?
[02:02] <hermann> hallo
[02:02] <Healot> low-level format... never heard of ppl doing that since 1995
[02:02] <ndazza> avis: i was under the impression low level formatting was non-existant these days
[02:03] <ndazza> manufacturer sets the drive geometry and that's it
[02:03] <dou213> chamo, just do that command in failsafe mode, ur x server will work afterwards, did work for me
[02:03] <dou213> i had the same problem as u
[02:03] <avis> ndazza, not at all.  not for me.  i've run into linux distro partitions that would not be nuked.
[02:03] <chamo> ok
[02:03] <ndazza> anyways, i'll try that usb tip, thanks nnz0id
[02:03] <Healot> avis: every OS has chances to be intruded. even GNU/Linux...
[02:03] <ndazza> avis: not even with dd if=/dev/null of=/dev/hda ?
[02:03] <avis> i also did it in 1995 believing it would block out my 8088's bad blocks
[02:04] <avis> ndazza, you'll have to forgive me but i have no experience with dd command
[02:04] <Nolt> avis: when i try compile verlihub i have this error http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15125
[02:04] <Nolt> do you know what can be wrong ?
[02:04] <NUB> can somone tell me how to get the x to work after installing it ubuntu?  it fails to boot, ati x800
[02:04] <ndazza> avis: like copy, but for devices
[02:05] <ndazza> anyways, i'm off to try disconnecting my usb stuff
[02:05] <ndazza> later!
[02:05] <avis> ndazza almost like cloning ?
[02:06] <minimec> avis: PentiumM  1.6GHz CPU  with a ATi Mobility Radeon 9600 64MB... Is that enough to run xgl smoothly?
[02:06] <Healot> YES
[02:06] <ndazza> avis: yes
[02:06] <Healot> but could be a but slow
[02:06] <avis> minimac yes it would be
[02:06] <Healot> bit*
[02:06] <Nolt> anybody know what is wrong ? ./configure didnt show any errors and when i make i have this => http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15125
[02:07] <minimec> avis: So I'll give it a try. ;)
[02:07] <ndazza> avis: keeps copying blocks of data from the source file to the destination file till the source runs out or the destination is full
[02:07] <chamo> dou213, how did you reinstall the drivers afterwards ?
[02:07] <avis> Nolt i can't make sense of coptic language
[02:07] <tuxtheslacker> hey guys, does anyone know of an rss reader plugin for evolution?
[02:07] <chamo> I want to install xorg-driver and new fglrx related to my kernel version
[02:07] <Nolt> avis: :(:(
[02:07] <avis> minimec !
[02:07] <avis> hold on !
[02:08] <minimec> avis: ?
[02:08] <mp3guy> does anyone know what folder the default ubuntu desktop backgrounds are stored in?
[02:08] <chamo> lemme try brb
[02:08] <avis> all those of you who are interested in installing XGL replacing xorg please see this url http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=131267
[02:08] <patrick_> how do you enable other languages to be typed in, such as chinese?
[02:08] <avis> the official ubuntu documentation is not good
[02:09] <minimec> mp3guy: Hmmm... somewhere in /usr/share ;)
[02:09] <avis> patrick_, you defined a language when you setup your os
[02:09] <Healot> patrick_: you need input method server, and fonts
[02:09] <tuxtheslacker> does anyone know of an evolution e-mail plugin to add an RSS reader to it.
[02:10] <Healot> IME servers like IIMF or SCIM, and input engine like anthy
[02:10] <avis> tuxmaniac, i have no idea but if you find one i'd like to know.  i miss the old evolution.  however mozilla-thunderbird can do mail and rss and news but you must provide your own rss
[02:10] <patrick_> yeah i know, but is there anyway to have two langauges? i do some work in chinese and on suse and other distros you can use multiple languages
[02:10] <Celeste> hi
[02:10] <avis> the old evolution was neat because it was all geeky and linuxy

[02:10] <Celeste> I need help
[02:10] <ubotu> My cat's name is Mittens!  Can anyone here help me setup wireless on a Fulitsu Amilo A1655G laptop?
[02:11] <Fujitsu_AMILO_A1> I'm running Dapper 6.06
[02:11] <Fujitsu_AMILO_A1> I've followed the instructions on this page: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#head-e70dd6b5c57894d32e3eddc4f3e21d7d6d02230f
[02:11] <Celeste> you know  CTRL + D  I guess  (like exit in the shell)
[02:11] <avis> yes
[02:11] <tuxmaniac> avis?
[02:11] <avis> yes ?
[02:12] <avis> tuxmaniac, i dont know about evolution but mozilla-thunderbird does rss if you provide feeds
[02:12] <Celeste> good ...
[02:12] <Celeste> http://sial.org/pbot/17595?ln=on&submit=Format+it%21
[02:12] <tuxtheslacker> tuxmaniac, he meant to send that to me, if that's what you're talking about :-P
[02:12] <Fujitsu_AMILO_A1> I've determined I have a Broadcom BCM4318 wireless card? chip?
[02:12] <avis> and mail, usenet, etc
[02:12] <Celeste> line 21  ... I pressed   CTRL + D by a mistake in line 21
[02:12] <Celeste> http://sial.org/pbot/17595?ln=on&submit=Format+it%21
[02:12] <tuxmaniac> tuxtheslacker: ah ok
[02:12] <Fujitsu_AMILO_A1> And I've extracted the firmware from the driver CD that came with my laptop, using fwcutter.
[02:13] <tuxtheslacker> avis, I much prefer evolution because it's much more light weight.
[02:13] <znh> Hello. Why is there in dapper a bittorrent tracker installed by default?
[02:13] <avis> i will switch to evolution then because i'm into lightweight
[02:13] <Bobakitoo> someone know why Atheros wireless card work in 6.06 desktop but not in server?
[02:13] <avis> i have not been able to locate a plugin for rss though
[02:13] <Fujitsu_AMILO_A1> Now, if I use iwconfig, I can see my wireless card, but I cannot use it.
[02:13] <Healot> znh: you don/t like bittorrent client?
[02:13] <Celeste> avis, what will my action do bad to linux?
[02:13] <znh> Healot, tracker != client
[02:14] <Healot> znh: the tracker installed? I don't think so
[02:14] <hmpedersen> It seems I have to reinstall my computer now..
[02:14] <Fujitsu_AMILO_A1> The one problem that I can see is that it states "Access Point: Invalid" and I haven't been able to change this.
[02:14] <tuxtheslacker> Bobakitoo, I'd say because servers are general not running on a wireless computer...
[02:14] <avis> Celeste, of all people why would you think that i might know ?  i'll look at it and see what i could possibly conclude.  there are alot more adept people in here.  lemme look
[02:14] <gnarkill> Problem: i cant activate my wireless card in ubuntu breezy .. 5.10. what should i do?
[02:15] <Bobakitoo> tuxtheslcaker: i use my server as wireless access point
[02:15] <Celeste> avis, because you've been the only one saying a word to me *g*
[02:15] <Bobakitoo> how i can enable wireless card on ubuntu-server?
[02:15] <avis> Celeste, something else was using the respositories at the time something like synaptic or aptitude
[02:16] <zach> can anyone help me setup dual monitors with an ati 9500? the 2nd monitor is just displaying brown...at the login window i can move mouse across both monitors
[02:16] <Celeste> avis, no it was me I pressed CTRL + D  (line 21)
[02:16] <avis> or the upgrade-notifier
[02:16] <Celeste> avis, so I was not root anymore
[02:16] <Celeste> what may I do now?
[02:16] <avis> ok lemme look
[02:16] <Celeste> it got stock in the middle of the installation avi
[02:17] <avis> apt-get remove ude ; apt-get install ude
[02:17] <Celeste> ok
[02:17] <kane77> hi everybody...
[02:17] <Celeste> thank you avis!
[02:18] <avis> find another repository and dont ctrl-c or d
[02:18] <avis> welcome
[02:18] <kane77> how is beagle realy used??
[02:18] <avis> sigh
[02:18] <avis> i dont know that much
[02:18] <zach> does anyone know if the dock in osx is always on top? or is it set so nothing can go over the bottom of the window?
[02:18] <Fujitsu_AMILO_A1> Fujitsu_AMILO_A1655G
[02:19] <avis> zach you can probably sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:19] <Fujitsu_AMILO_A1> Fujitsu_AMILO_A1
[02:19] <avis> i'd bet it would detect dual monitors
[02:19] <zach> thanks!
[02:19] <avis> but dont make a mistake and make backup of xorg.conf
[02:19] <zach> lol how?
[02:19] <avis> how cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf conf.bak
[02:20] <zach> then how would i restore it if needed?
[02:20] <avis> cp conf.bak /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[02:20] <zach> thanks
[02:20] <avis> updatedb
[02:20] <avis> and locate
[02:20] <reZo> what's a random NIC brand / model that works in Ubuntu, prefer PCI ones.
[02:20] <avis> and whereis
[02:20] <avis> are your friends
[02:21] <avis> 3com 3c905x
[02:21] <reZo> sweet
[02:21] <avis> abo, b, c you got it made :)
[02:21] <avis> a
[02:22] <avis> Fujitsu !
[02:22] <avis> is that you ?
[02:22] <zach> meh it didnt detect them
[02:22] <Fujitsu> Hi, avis...
[02:22] <avis> hello :)
[02:22] <Fujitsu> avis, this is me.
[02:22] <avis> must be different person with wifi
[02:22] <Fujitsu> Not Fujitsu_AMILO_A1.
[02:22] <avis> okies
[02:22] <avis> didn't think so
[02:23] <Bobakitoo> what in linux-image-server that is not in linux-image-version-686 for exemple?
[02:23] <zach> what are the open source drivers ive tried flgrx and those never seem to work...
[02:23] <avis> my wifi is going to be easy, input 63 char WPA-PSK TKIP into install and gateway, two dns servers, and static ip address, gateway.   simple.  tedious !  but simple
[02:24] <avis> supported out of the box
[02:24] <kane77> what is the executable for search (beagle)?? or how can I add shortcut to it??
[02:25] <Hajuu> hey does anyone know of a lightweight alternative to gdm thats in the breezy ubuntu repositories?
[02:25] <ynef> kane77: "beagle" is the executable's name. What desktop environment are you using?
[02:25] <kane77> gnome
[02:25] <avis> gnome is not a display manager
[02:25] <avis> nm
[02:25] <avis> sorry
[02:26] <ynef> Hajuu: xdm, kdm, gdm -- the three great ones. xdm is ugly, but should also be lighter
[02:26] <jhunter> I'm still struggling to get nVidia drivers working. Everything installed ok, but the xserver just won't start. The log isn't very informative, just says that the kernal failed to load and check everything. Any suggestions?
[02:26] <avis> can fluxbox run both gnome and kde apps and by now is it able to integrate them into its menu ?
[02:26] <ynef> kane77: then I can't help you, but I suppose that the terminology is "launcher" or something
[02:26] <kane77> ynef, and trying to execute beagle it says that "bash: beagle: command not found"
[02:26] <Bobakitoo> Jhunter yes nvidia driver is bugged in 6.06
[02:27] <avis> jhunter did you go on a quest for XGL ?
[02:27] <Bobakitoo> you must edit xorg.conf your self and the enable script fill in worng identifier
[02:27] <ynef> kane77: interesting -- you do have it installed, right?
[02:27] <dubidu> hi all
[02:27] <jhunter> Not yet, not until I get a usable screen
[02:27] <dubidu>  i get a strange error installing nvida drivers from nvidia installer
[02:27] <avis> do not enter wrong identifier for XGL
[02:27] <dubidu> when i do startx it says me that the nvidia module and xorg module are of different versions
[02:27] <zach> has anyone gotten dual monitors with atis in dapper? if so please help
[02:27] <Bobakitoo> jhunter check if you got ATI identifier
[02:28] <dubidu> xorg module is 8762 and nvidia module is 8756
[02:28] <Bobakitoo> for some reseaon the enable script detected a ati card and set that as identifier
[02:28] <dubidu> installing 8762 drivers it is all ok but..it seems strange..do you?
[02:28] <Hajuu> ynef: So if I put xdm on, and remove gdm and gnome but keep gtk (if thats possible) then I can still run all my gnome apps?
[02:28] <avis> cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | grep ATI
[02:28] <kane77> ynef, yes... when I run Places->Search it runs a beagle search... but when I try to add a button to pannel "Search for files" it only gives me the old search...
[02:29] <zach> avis is that for me?
[02:29] <Bobakitoo> hajuu no, if you left only gtk then only gtk aps can run
[02:29] <Ng> zach: I have, but only with the xorg driver, not the binary ati driver
[02:29] <avis> that was for jhunter
[02:29] <avis> i think
[02:29] <Bobakitoo> you can replace gdm by xdm and cotinuing using gnome and gtk aps tho
[02:29] <Hajuu> ah ok.. just wanted to remove gnome completely
[02:30] <Hajuu> so guess ill say my goodbyes to gedit
[02:30] <Hajuu> lol
[02:30] <zach> Ng: is the xorg driver hard to configure? is that the thing you run from terminal....(sorry im new at linux still lol)
[02:30] <avis> the application base for gnome is so large
[02:30] <chamo> okay
[02:30] <[bsd] > hi, friends!
[02:30] <M|NDL|GHT> Can someone please explain to me why there is no amarok-gstreamer package in Dapper? Ive been searching for the reason on the forums and a lot of other places and the closest to an anser Ive come is "gstreamer is not stable enough in Dapper"... anyone got an answer and some links to prove it? :D
[02:30] <avis> hi bsd !
[02:30] <chamo> dou213, now that works! thanks!
[02:30] <Ng> zach: it's pretty easy, but if you have a newer ATi card you probably want to use their binary driver. I'm running a pretty old radeon
[02:30] <ynef> kane77: looking at the file list, it seems that beagle might be started with the command "beagle-search" -- one of many files installed into /usr/bin that start with "beagle"
[02:30] <zach> Ng: im running an ati 9500 non pro with 64mbs is that considered old?
[02:30] <avis> MIND, the proof relies on you
[02:31] <kane77> ynef, yes that's it... many thanx...
[02:31] <M|NDL|GHT> avis, didnt get what u mean :)
[02:31] <zexr0> !divx
[02:31] <chamo> hehe
[02:31] <ubotu> somebody said restricted was https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[02:31] <Ng> zach: no that's new enough to be supported by the binary driver. perhaps googling or searching ubuntuforums.org will turn something up?
[02:31] <avis> google :)
[02:31] <ynef> M|NDL|GHT: I think that basically just means that the Ubuntu team don't feel like supporting it for 5 years because it may be too buggy to them :)
[02:31] <zach> most guides end up ruining my x11 conf file
[02:31] <ynef> M|NDL|GHT: I'm sure you can find it elsewhere
[02:32] <jhunter> No, - I did get the ATI from the original attempts, but I've now downloaded the driver from nVidia - that's ok. Do I have to uninstall anything from previous attemts, or is it just in the xorg.conf file
[02:32] <Elko> ls
[02:32] <Elko> heh
[02:32] <avis> ynef what release are you referencing ?
[02:32] <elfomarcio> hi
[02:32] <Bazzi> M|NDL|GHT: whats wrong with amarok-xine?
[02:32] <ynef> avis: any -- if ubuntu doesn't want to officially include it, it is probably for a good reason
[02:32] <M|NDL|GHT> Bazzi, I cant get it to work? :$
[02:32] <M|NDL|GHT> :D
[02:32] <Bazzi> why is that so?
[02:32] <chamo> dou213, are you there ?
[02:33] <kane77> one more question... what is the nvidia-glx drivers... I installed it and I think I lost 3d... (eg. screensavers that are 3d doesnt show up at all... just a blank screen...)
[02:33] <avis> ynef what was it about amarok that was so special to you ?  do you have an ipod ?
[02:33] <ynef> avis: you have the wrong guy, i answered M|NDL|GHT :)
[02:33] <avis> ugh
[02:33] <avis> ciggy tiem
[02:33] <ynef> avis: I use moc personally, an ncurses player
[02:33] <avis> i'm disabled people give me a break :)
[02:34] <ynef> kane77: it's the drivers you use to get OpenGL in Linux on Nvidia cards -- that it killed 3D for you doesn't seem right at all
[02:34] <shriphani> guys i installed all necessary dependencies for audacity but it still says dependencies are not installed
[02:34] <kane77> ynef, I believe I need legacy drivers I have ancient TNT2
[02:34] <shriphani> any ideas ?
[02:35] <ynef> kane77: ah, yes, you do -- TNT2 is too old to be supported by the newer drivers AFAIK
[02:35] <kane77> ynef, how can I install them?
[02:35] <Bazzi> M|NDL|GHT whats failing?
[02:35] <Ron_o> the only idea I have shriphani is to check out synaptic and see if audacity is broken.
[02:35] <Ron_o> if audacity isn't in Synaptic, then I don't know.
[02:35] <shriphani> i dont think it is in synaptic
[02:36] <Ron_o> how did you d/l?
[02:36] <redlounge> hi everyone
[02:36] <shriphani> i mean i got the debian package
[02:36] <Ron_o> OK..
[02:36] <shriphani> from the website
[02:36] <ynef> kane77: install "nvidia-glx-legacy" instead ;)
[02:36] <Ron_o> I don't know.
[02:36] <chamo> anyone know how I can resolve a "divert" error while trying to reinstall my xorg-driver-fglrx packet with apt-get ??? Im stuck... cf http://pastebin.com/759493
[02:36] <Ron_o> check out Synaptic.
[02:36] <shriphani> apt-get install says no such package
[02:36] <Ron_o> you should always d/l from there if ever in doubt.
[02:36] <mirak> sladen: hey, I have realised that base-config is deprecated in dapper, though I don't find any tutorial on the web saying how to proceed now
[02:37] <Ron_o> shriphani, do you have all the repositories available?
[02:37] <kane77> ynef, that sounds logical :)) why don't I ever come up with it... :D
[02:37] <Vissud> anyone have a solution to this? I can record from my mic, but I can't just plug in an input source and listen
[02:37] <shriphani> Ron_o, i have a hunch that my apt/sources.list is messed after i tried to mess around with dapper
[02:37] <Ron_o> then upgrade the list.
[02:37] <ynef> shriphani: post it somewhere, let's see it
[02:37] <Ron_o> !repository
[02:37] <ubotu> Ron_o: Do they come in packets of five. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[02:37] <shriphani> ok
[02:37] <Ron_o> !repositories
[02:37] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource.
[02:38] <redlounge> i installed dapper a few days ago and now i have sometimes problems with the sudo command. i type in the console e.g. 'sudo ls' and then the console hangs, then i can not start any process that has to do with root privileges. not in the terminal, not in gnome. i can even not shutdown... anyone has an idea what to check/do?
[02:38] <Fujitsu_AMILO>
[02:38] <Ron_o> shriphani, check out the wiki. It will help you out to update your repository.
[02:38] <M|NDL|GHT> Bazzi, my brains? :D  Never got xine to work and gstreamer seems to be the most right choice... but ok, amarok speaks xine... how do I get my soundcard to speak xine? It does not work default... if u got a URL for me to read up on the subject, that would be just fine and I wont bother u guys :)
[02:38] <Ron_o> sorry, I'm too new to remember exactly how.
[02:39] <Ron_o> !sound
[02:39] <Bazzi> M|NDL|GHT: just configure it in amarok to choose ALSA/OSS/whatever fits you. and dont forget to install libxine-extracodecs
[02:39] <ubotu> Help to fix issues with sound can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems or http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoundProblemsHoary
[02:39] <shriphani> just 3 links there !!!!
[02:39] <Fujitsu_AMILO> I got disconnected earlier - has anyone responded to my wireless question?
[02:39] <shriphani> http://pastebin.com/759578
[02:39] <shriphani> man i'd be blown
[02:39] <kane77> ... how do I change the default boot in grub?? there's a line "default 0" I believe I need to change it, but to what..?
[02:39] <M|NDL|GHT> Bazzi, tried that when Dapper was alpha...didnt work...but I will give it another try...thanks :D
[02:40] <avis> Fujitsu_AMILO,  there is always ndiswrapper should you not be able to do it the standard way
[02:40] <Bazzi> M|NDL|GHT but I think the amarok 1.4 packages do have amarok-gstreamer
[02:40] <ynef> kane77: post the file somewhere and tell us what OS you want to boot per default
[02:40] <M|NDL|GHT> oh...there is a 1.4 ...  an "official" one for Dapper? :$
[02:40] <grap> hi
[02:40] <avis> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto#head-28c697721b2f5d2352e43074a55f4621c415293d
[02:40] <avis> read that
[02:40] <peg> where the heck do I download the sparc version of Dapper Drake , I cant find it in the main download site
[02:40] <ynef> kane77: or that ;)
[02:40] <Ron_o> !grub
[02:40] <ubotu> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/GrubHowto or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows or troubleshooting grub: http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#Troubleshooting
[02:40] <Fujitsu_AMILO> Hi, avis. Thanks for the response. I had previously tried ndiswrapper but got no response at all. Using the kernel broadcom driver has been the most promising approach so far.
[02:40] <avis> and trust me its not complete as far as grub goes
[02:41] <avis> ok
[02:41] <Bazzi> M|NDL|GHT: done by j. riddell so it's done by a competent person but it is not officially supported
[02:41] <avis> so what is the problem Fujitsu_AMILO ?
[02:41] <M|NDL|GHT> later yall, thanks for the help...gotta play with my dapper...erhm...didnt sound right... well well...l8er yall
[02:41] <peg> anyone know
[02:41] <nosklo> peg: is there a sparc version?
[02:41] <avis> extract tgz and nano the README
[02:41] <Ron_o> peg, I saw the sparc version there.
[02:41] <Fujitsu_AMILO> I have managed to set up my wireless card so I can see it with 'iwconfig'
[02:41] <Ron_o> !update
[02:41] <ubotu> I don't know, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Ron_o
[02:41] <shriphani> Ron_o, i think there is nothing in my apt sources
[02:41] <avis> ok
[02:41] <grap> i m having some trouble with nvidia drivers, I tried to install the propietary drivers (like always) but it failed and then i installed the ones from apt-get but now, my X wont start until i reinstall the propietary driver, can anybody help?
[02:41] <Ron_o> I know I saw it.
[02:42] <nosklo> I didn't know... I thought there were only i386, 64 and ppc versions
[02:42] <avis> i have only dont wireless once so bear with me
[02:42] <peg> nosklo, http://www.sun.com/smi/Press/sunflash/2006-05/sunflash.20060530.1.xml
[02:42] <Vissud> anyone have a solution to this? I can record from my mic, but I can't just plug in an input source and listen
[02:42] <avis> on linux
[02:42] <Ron_o> I saw t on the bittorrent page.
[02:42] <Fujitsu_AMILO> avis: However, it is not assigned an ip address, and I cannot change the 'Access Point' value from 'Invalid'
[02:42] <peg> Ron_o, where can you poit me me to it
[02:42] <shriphani> can you please tell me where i can get the apt-get sources ?
[02:42] <nosklo> cool!
[02:42] <Ron_o> peg, I'm sorry. I can't access the www right now.
[02:42] <Ron_o> I could otherwise.
[02:42] <grap> shriphani, look for souce-o-matic in google
[02:43] <peg> Ron_o, all I see is x86 powerPC and AMD64
[02:43] <shriphani> souce or source ?
[02:43] <Ron_o> I'm sorry peg, I know it's there. If not then I apologize.
[02:43] <nosklo> peg: http://sparc.ubuntu.com/
[02:43] <Ron_o> I can't help you beyond this.
[02:43] <avis> Fujitsu_AMILO, i have never experimented with wireless and ubuntu yet.  you definitely need to assign your SSID and your WEP or WPA-PSK
[02:43] <grap> shriphani, source, sorry
[02:43] <shriphani> ok thanks
[02:43] <chamo> dou213  ??
[02:44] <Fujitsu_AMILO> avis: I've disabled WEP/WPA in case that was the problem. I've assigned my ESSID.
[02:44] <avis> Fujitsu_AMILO, if you can let it accept defaults perhaps if you could get into gnome then you could use the network manager to set it up ?
[02:44] <avis> does your router have mac filtering?
[02:44] <zach> Hello when i try to use ati config i always get errors such as                zach@ubuntu:~$ aticonfig --dtop=horizontal --overlay-on=1
[02:44] <zach> Warning: Failed to set hardware overlay to head 1 immediately.

[02:44] <grap> can anyone help? im in nvidia trouble
[02:44] <peg> nosklo, dude http://sparc.ubuntu.com/ does seam to be loading, are you having better luck
[02:44] <Fujitsu_AMILO> avis: Everything seems to work in Network manager. I can configure and activate the interface. But despite all this, it doesn't work.
[02:45] <Fujitsu_AMILO> I've tried ifconfig eth1 up
[02:45] <avis> so its an open infrastructure network and you need to define SSID to connect to
[02:45] <ynef> grap: what does the log file tell you? what error messages do you get?
[02:45] <avis> someone help Fujitsu_AMILO
[02:45] <jwl007> could someone try pinging krellinst.org for me?
[02:46] <ynef> jwl007: doesn't work for me (sweden)
[02:46] <avis> Fujitsu_AMILO, perhaps try ubuntuforums.org
[02:46] <jwl007> thanks ynef
[02:46] <b0ef> ehlo

[02:46] <kane77> ynef, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/15128 that's the paste of /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:46] <jhunter> grap: glad I'm not the only one trying to get this working - same problem, I'm pulling my hair out here!
[02:46] <peg> nosklo, dude http://sparc.ubuntu.com/ does seam to be loading, are you having better luck
[02:46] <avis> while people pass be here, problems are resolved, and the experts wake up
[02:47] <Fujitsu_AMILO> avis: I'll have a look there. Thanks for your time, avis
[02:47] <grap> ynef, jhunter good luxk!
[02:47] <shriphani> ok guys i got an apt sources list
[02:47] <avis> Fujitsu_AMILO, i have nothing but time :)
[02:47] <shriphani> so do i plainly go and put it in /etc/apt/source.list ?
[02:47] <kane77> ynef, and I want to change the default boot to windows... (you know i share this PC with dad and he gets mad when he turns on comp and the windows doesn't start up..)
[02:47] <b0ef> is the md5 sum available anywhere for ubuntu-6.06?
[02:47] <ompaul> shriphani, where did you get it from
[02:48] <avis> scroll down from the link that you clicked on that specified that country
[02:48] <shriphani> source-o-matic
[02:48] <Ron_o> b0ef, it must be.
[02:48] <ompaul> b0ef, www.ubuntu.com/download
[02:48] <Ron_o> you mean the application?
[02:48] <grap> ynef, basically it said that the version did not match
[02:48] <nosklo> peg: nope
[02:48] <grap> so i install the propietary ones and all works fine
[02:48] <nosklo> peg; trying to find
[02:48] <grap> but when i reboot, it just pops out the same message
[02:49] <ynef> kane77: change the default to 5 -- if that's wrong, then to 6... don't know if the "other operating systems" line counts as one, so experiment :)
[02:49] <b0ef> Ron_o: no the md5 for the iso cd (x86)
[02:49] <shriphani> i got a set of repos do i just put them in my sources list ?
[02:49] <nosklo> peg: google shows a lot of ubuntu-6.06-rc-server-sparc.iso but all of them seem to be missing
[02:49] <peg> nosklo, thanks, it almost looks as though it disapeared
[02:49] <grap> shriphani, yes,
[02:49] <shriphani> ok grap thanks
[02:49] <kane77> ynef, ok I will... RESTARTING....
[02:49] <ompaul> shriphani, yes you can overwrite the existing file on your machine by doing this, in a terminal >>gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list<< and take your time - I was not finished --
[02:49] <ompaul> !repeat
[02:49] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.  You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Please give it 10 to 15 minutes before asking a second time, thanks.
[02:50] <shriphani> ok
[02:50] <peg> nosklo, so I am not going crazy ir realy did disapear
[02:50] <EmxBA> hi
[02:50] <ompaul> cheers :)
[02:50] <b0ef> ompaul: it's not on that page, as far as I can see
[02:50] <grap> ynef, can you help?
[02:50] <EmxBA> Fujitsu, hi
[02:50] <avis> ompaul i have a very peculiar bug related to the removal and installation of xchat-gnome.  could i show you a pastebin.com for diagnosis ?
[02:50] <EmxBA> grap, what's the problem
[02:50] <EmxBA> it's ver early
[02:50] <ompaul> b0ef, so follow through to a link of where it is, and then look at it - pick your mirror :-)
[02:50] <grap> i m having some trouble with nvidia drivers, I tried to install the propietary drivers (like always) but it failed and then i installed the ones from apt-get but now, my X wont start until i reinstall the propietary driver, can anybody help?
[02:51] <EmxBA> just try to use default drivers
[02:51] <EmxBA> vesa
[02:51] <grap> but i need accel
[02:51] <ompaul> avis, show it to the world, if I read it and know it I pitch in, otherwise you have an audience of 1 not a great thing
[02:51] <ynef> grap: not unless I see the errors X told you -- they are more specific than you think :)
[02:51] <nosklo> peg: that's odd, disappear with no warnings
[02:51] <avis> i tried that
[02:51] <avis> heh
[02:51] <avis> i'll try again
[02:51] <grap> ynef, i cant find it, because it now works fine, but when i will reboot it will fail again
[02:51] <peg> nosklo, just found this, just a article abotu other people trying to find it http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=189430&highlight=sparc
[02:52] <EmxBA> well, use vesa till you don't find out reason for your problem
[02:52] <ompaul> avis, I am only back - so lets pretend... give the channel a url ;-)
[02:52] <ynef> grap: how annoying -- what did you do to fix it this time?
[02:52] <b0ef> ompaul: ;), thanks
[02:52] <grap> ynef, i found it!
[02:52] <samu2> There is something wrong the layout of the synaptic package manager. the list on the left side rarely displays more than a few entries when i use it, yet the list view on the right side never seems wide enough to display the full descriptions and version numbers and stuff.

[02:52] <shriphani> ok guys changed the apt sources and did an apt-get update
[02:53] <ynef> grap: the lines before that?
[02:53] <ynef> at least the few first ones
[02:53] <grap> all correct
[02:53] <Hobbsee> !pastebin
[02:53] <ubotu> Please do not flood the channel http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/ for pasting long texts it does not disrupt the channel. [webboard for Ubuntu: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269 : not an offical package] .
[02:53] <ynef> grap: and have you consulted the NVIDIA README file? ;)
[02:53] <grap> yes sorry Hobbsee
[02:53] <ompaul> grap, DONT PASTE IN THIS CHANNEL THANKS!!! http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[02:53] <grap> ynef, i guess there is a simple solution
[02:54] <grap> like make the now installed dirver the default
[02:54] <grap> i dont know why it overwrites the driver
[02:54] <Fujitsu_AMILO> EmxBA - Hi, Fujitsu_AMILO here. Were you referring to me earlier?
[02:54] <Ron_o> samu2, your package manager sounds right to me.
[02:54] <avis> can anyone help me get xchat standard and xchat-gnome working together ?  prolly not.  i can't figure it out.. but perhaps this pastebin.com will tell you something by its error ? http://pastebin.com/759605
[02:55] <ynef> grap: tell me exactly what you did, step by step
[02:55] <grap> ok
[02:55] <ompaul> !reinstall
[02:55] <ubotu> methinks reinstall is renew configuration: sudo dpkg -P --force-depends $package <<followed by >> sudo apt-get install $package
[02:55] <ynef> grap: (and preface every line with "ynef", so I get it highlighted -- please!) :)
[02:55] <samu2> Ron_o, yeah, i just mean its badly planned
[02:56] <avis> om mani padme hum
[02:56] <avis> namaste
[02:56] <ompaul> avis, sssshhhhhhhh
[02:56] <shriphani> namstey avis
[02:56] <grap> ynef firstly i installed the propietary nvidia driver and it failed because of my xorg.conf so i decided to install the ones from ubuntu repositories
[02:56] <shriphani> kya aap bharatiya ho ?
[02:56] <kyledye> !ati
[02:56] <ubotu> it has been said that ati is http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch04.html#installatidriver or https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI ... the radeon 9200 and below are supported by the open-source drivers.
[02:56] <avdd> since installing dapper my HDD is going nuts, but with no obvious process indicators.
[02:57] <ynef> grap: right. so doesn't the proprietary drivers have some kind of "uninstall" feature?
[02:57] <grap> ynef, that's all, the only thing i have to do now, everytime when i reboot, is to reinstall the propietary drivers and it works
[02:57] <ompaul> shriphani, avis it is an english language channel, thanks :)
[02:57] <vincenz> How come on my desktop I got a notification in my update notifier asking me if I wanted to upgrade, and I don't get this ono my laptop?
[02:57] <Ron_o> avdd, be more descriptive.
[02:57] <shriphani> ompaul, i am sorry :)
[02:57] <alth> Nice name, eniac.
[02:57] <grap> ynef, i guess so, i'll look for it
[02:57] <ompaul> shriphani, well you know now, ;-)
[02:57] <Ron_o> vincenz, could it be your laptop isn't internet bound?
[02:57] <shriphani> :)
[02:57] <vincenz> Ron_o: it is
[02:58] <eniac> hy... i installed ubuntu amd64 at my server.... but he didnt ask me to change root password. what is default root password?
[02:58] <shriphani> i added a few cipherfunk sources as well for win 32 codecs
[02:58] <ompaul> !root
[02:58] <vincenz> Ron_o: apparently it's cause I had updates to do on desktop, while synaptic doesn't ask about system update
[02:58] <ubotu> Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[02:58] <gil> how do i burn two bootable ISO filles to one DVD and choose which one to boot to at start up
[02:58] <ompaul> eniac, ^^^ read above
[02:58] <eniac> ompaul_ read where?
[02:58] <avdd> Ron_o: There's a lot of audible activity on the HDD that / and swap is on.
[02:58] <vincenz> is there any solution to removing unused packages?
[02:58] <eniac> ok
[02:58] <ompaul> eniac, ubotu Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[02:58] <avdd> It sounds like a slocate update or something
[02:58] <eniac> tks a lot.
[02:59] <avdd> but no obvious activity in process list
[02:59] <Ron_o> vincenz, use aptitude to install or Checkinstall
[02:59] <ompaul> vincenz, that causes problems when you try to update
[02:59] <antares79> hi... does anyone have any experience with installing ubuntu's root partition on a sw-raid1?
[02:59] <Ron_o> other than that probably not.
[02:59] <ompaul> vincenz, ehh upgrade sorry
[02:59] <vincenz> ompaul: what does/
[02:59] <Ron_o> I'm kind of in that problem myself.
[02:59] <kyledye> hrm.  i have an ATI 9250 PCI
[02:59] <grap> ynef, done, lets try it again, rebooting!
[02:59] <kyledye> anyone know if that will work?
[03:00] <ynef> grap: great -- good luck :)
[03:00] <vincenz> no what I want to do is remove stuff from my system I don't need...but if I do this manually it will automatically remove dependencies... instead I would like to see what packages are orphans or children of orphans
[03:00] <patbam> hi folks, when i try to install realplayer from synaptic under dapper, i get "xlibs not installable" . is there some reason that i shouldn't install xlibs, whatever that is?
[03:00] <ompaul> vincenz, removing random packages, have a look at synaptic package manager do to it
[03:00] <eniac> changed
[03:00] <romany> I am running Ubuntu Server 6.06 LTS as a guest inside VMware (Ubuntu is also the host). The first virtual instance runs like a charm. The second - a copy of the first one does bring eth0 up. I am probably missing something obvious here. Any pointers?
[03:00] <avis> ompaul, yes i'm quite aware of that but i can't help but notice the om prefixed by your english name :)
[03:00] <vincenz> ompaul: I do... but I was hoping for a more systematic way of tidying up
[03:01] <ompaul> avis, put ompaul into google
[03:01] <avis> okies
[03:01] <Ron_o> !ompaul
[03:01] <ubotu> Ron_o: Not a clue. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[03:01] <vincenz> maybe I should do a clean install
[03:01] <Ron_o> hehe.
[03:02] <pussfeller> how do I keep beagled from starting up, I cant find where it starts
[03:02] <gypsymauro> hello
[03:02] <gypsymauro> what's the difference of packages in ubuntu desktop and ubuntu alternate?
[03:02] <Ron_o> vincenz, I hear aptitude can take of tydying up.
[03:02] <Ron_o> I might have to do a fresh install too. :(
[03:02] <Ron_o> the way things are a lookin.
[03:02] <xiko> What is the command that it opens a window so I can choose witch version of java is the default?
[03:02] <vincenz> Ron_o: yeah but it's a pain
[03:02] <ompaul> Ron_o, what is working / not working the way you want?
[03:03] <vincenz> Ron_o: and... I also have stuff in /usr/local
[03:03] <Ron_o> ompaul... it's a long story.. :)
[03:03] <avis> ompaul :)
[03:03] <ompaul> vincenz, you installed from source?
[03:03] <vincenz> ompaul: some things yes
[03:03] <Ron_o> everything's working fine.  But space is really limited.
[03:03] <markuss> hi all
[03:03] <markuss> i am looking for a help with little problem...
[03:04] <Ron_o> we only solve big problems.. ;->
[03:04] <shriphani> cool thanks apt-get is downloading audacity !!!!!
[03:04] <ompaul> vincenz, add universe and multiverse and then you will have almost 20k packages so its likely you will have somehting that does a job that way you stay inside the supported or locally generated things, then you have a better idea as to what is going on
[03:04] <Ng> markuss: ask away, if someone can help, they will
[03:05] <markuss> hmm, for me it is not a little problem...:)
[03:05] <avis> i take notes of the big problems i solve through tomboy notepad for gnome :)
[03:05] <markuss> problem with hald...
[03:05] <markuss> during booting hald seens to freeze harddisk
[03:05] <vincenz> ompaul: some things were still required
[03:05] <ompaul> !bootoptions
[03:05] <ubotu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootOptions not the full complement of boot options but it is some of them
[03:05] <markuss> after that system stars very slowly...
[03:05] <ompaul> markuss, ^^ up the screen a couple of lines
[03:05] <redrum> has anyone here got wine to build in dapper with amd64? it doesn't seem to build at all, and there isnt much about it from google
[03:06] <Watje> I just restarted X (after 30 days) and now everything is sooo small. Please have a look at http://watje.be/fonts.png
[03:06] <Constantinka> I reply for some help in installing Macro Media Flashplayer
[03:06] <ompaul> Ron_o, almost - debian is still ahead, but in terms of accesiblity I think it may be there
[03:07] <avis> Constantinka, free or non-free ?
[03:07] <Constantinka> free
[03:07] <avis> hmm
[03:07] <Ron_o> it's quite organized, I must say.
[03:07] <avis> Gnuflash

[03:07] <Constantinka> wiki?
[03:07] <Ron_o> !wiki
[03:07] <ompaul> Ron_o, however ... and this is more important - there are things out there that are not on the wiki or help.ubuntu.com and some of them are just *wrong*

[03:07] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[03:07] <Ryugi> can java be installed on ubuntu

[03:07] <ubotu> In Breezy: j2re1.4 is in multiverse. In Dapper: sun-java5-jre is in multiverse
[03:08] <Ron_o> Ryugi, yes. I have it.
[03:08] <avis> thats so awesome of sun.com to recognize ubuntu

[03:08] <Ron_o> !wiki gnuflash
[03:08] <markuss> sorry a have to leav chanell
[03:08] <markuss> so what about hald...
[03:09] <Ron_o> there's no wiki page for gnuflash.

[03:14] <xiko> ompaul, channel guidelines, wont happen again
[03:14] <rohan> i am reading from DWW
[03:14] <ompaul> xiko, for others then okay but point them to it or /msg ubotu tell Fred about foo

[03:25] <flapane> anyone getting problems with ati3d? http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=189470
[03:25] <ynef> heatxsink: probably because you don't have the correct codecs installed
[03:25] <maybelle> ei guys im running a lan network how can i configure the host and client
[03:25] <Ron_o> that's too vague heatxsink IMO.
[03:25] <Ng> !tell heatxsink about RestrictedFormats
[03:25] <heatxsink> i installed that w32codec's deb
[03:25] <onkarshinde> heatxsink: Which player are you using? What codecs did you install?

[03:26] <maybelle> ei..
[03:26] <nightcoder> maybelle: your computer is behind a firewall/proxy ?
[03:26] <onkarshinde> heatxsink: xineshouldn't give problem with xViD. Try installing libxine-extracodecs package

[03:26] <elfomarcio> crazy_penguin: any idea?
[03:26] <maybelle> ei
[03:27] <ynef> Aeudian: that's because you own the X display, not root. if you use "sudo" instead, it should work
[03:27] <onkarshinde> heatxsink: I am assuming you are on Dapper

[03:28] <pedrocr> for some reason "/var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults/" didn't have +rx permissions for everyone

[03:37] <onkarshinde> mAge2: Did you change partitions after you installed 6.06?
[03:37] <kholerabb1> lol, ah right.. my floppy drive was unplugged :)

[03:37] <mAge2> onkarshinde, i couldnt even install 6.06 int hangs at install
[03:37] <shriphani> ok h3sp4wn
[03:37] <ynef> chrisbudden14: I think that might be because it tries to read from the PRINTER environment variable, but am not sure
[03:37] <nightcoder> how many interfaces do you have ?
[03:37] <onkarshinde> ziad: amsn is available in ubuntu repositories and many more packages.
[03:37] <Woozle> clean install
[03:38] <maybelle> im here at the network sir
[03:38] <mAge2> onkarshinde right after the select otpions screen
[03:38] <Ron_o> if it stopped then I would restart it fresh.

[03:38] <nightcoder> Under 'connections' tav
[03:38] <Ron_o> I don't know how you would continue it.

[03:38] <nightcoder> tab
[03:38] <Woozle> it was preparing and installing the copied programs

[03:39] <seppe> hi, I just installed dapper .. but it's doesn't handle my DVD's well (with VLC)
[03:39] <maybelle> then?
[03:39] <nightcoder> maybelle: and click 'properties'
[03:39] <ynef> chrisbudden14: well, you could try to start a terminal, the PRINTER variable part of your environment (how you do that depends on what shell you use) and start the gimp from the terminal -- if it works then, we know that was the problem
[03:39] <Thumann> kholerabb1: oh.. i'll try it.. thanks
[03:39] <maybelle> ok
[03:39] <ynef> chrisbudden14: "...set the PRINTER..."
[03:39] <shriphani> h3sp4wn, http://pastebin.com/759696
[03:39] <maybelle> my connection setting is

[03:40] <maybelle> ip add blank
[03:40] <maybelle> subnet blank
[03:40] <maybelle> gateway blank
[03:40] <onkarshinde> ziad: First thing, you are solving wrong problem. I can not help with it. You can't install rpm package. Also you are trying to do something that has other simple ways to do.
[03:40] <chrisbudden14> what do you mean, set the printer variable ynef
[03:40] <nightcoder> maybelle: ok
[03:40] <shriphani> ziad, an rpm can be converted to deb and then installed
[03:40] <onkarshinde> ziad: rpm has to be converted to deb package
[03:40] <nightcoder> maybelle: what you can say about your network ?
[03:40] <nightcoder> maybelle: have you a fixed ip address ?
[03:40] <avis> !alien
[03:40] <Frogzoo> shriphani: yes, but it's not recommended...
[03:40] <ubotu> from memory, alien is a program to convert RPMs to DEBs. Its use is discouraged, as it could create serious problems. Website: http://www.kitenet.net/programs/alien/
[03:40] <avis> sorry, ops, for the !
[03:41] <maybelle> none im using static
[03:41] <reza> hi guys, i upgraded from breezy to dapper, and now one my network cards is broken :( can someone gimme some tips?
[03:41] <shriphani> maybelle configure the network then :)
[03:41] <h3sp4wn> Shripani: Whats cipherfunk.org ?
[03:41] <ziad> onkarshinde: well i get ur point...but y is it wrong to work as root
[03:41] <shriphani> h3sp4wn, i got them off source-o-matic for win32 codecs
[03:41] <avis> reza, simple, start from scratch ;)  fresh dapper iso
[03:42] <Frogzoo> ziad: cos that's how viruses propogate & other security exploits
[03:42] <onkarshinde> ziad: Becuase then you normally log in as root which is harmfull if your system is attacked over internet.
[03:42] <nightcoder> maybelle: can you look into another computer now ? Just to find network info
[03:42] <simian__> sorry, but can someone enter benward.dyndns.org into a browser
[03:42] <reza> avis i have lots of thing i can't eh
[03:42] <Woozle> aha
[03:42] <Woozle> I think I found it
[03:42] <Woozle> I can do dpkg --configure -a
[03:42] <Woozle> and hopefully they'll work...
[03:42] <maybelle> ok w8
[03:42] <Woozle> I think...
[03:42] <avis> reza must buy dvd burner or usb harddrive
[03:42] <ziad> onkarshinde: thanx.... (y) then plz tell me how do i convert rpm to deb
[03:42] <shriphani> !cipherfunk
[03:42] <ubotu> shriphani: Huh? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[03:42] <ynef> chrisbudden14: open a terminal, write "export PRINTER=whatever-your-printer's-name-is" (no quotes), then write "gimp". Try to print using "default printer", if that works, we know that we need to set up the "PRINTER" variable every time you log in, which can be done automatically
[03:43] <h3sp4wn> Shripani: Where where you installing banshee from ?
[03:43] <reza> eth0 is broken i can set it in dapper can someone help me plz?
[03:43] <avis> sure otherwise its alot of work but when things are broken ??

[03:43] <simian__> SurfnKid: thanks, i think i' blocking port 80 :(

[03:43] <stbrenner> does anyone know whethere or not you can insert information about an artist (ie the artist's name) manually in Rhythmbox?  It just says Unknown right now
[03:44] <onkarshinde> !tell ziad about repos
[03:44] <simian__> ordoban: thanks
[03:44] <ziad> Frogzoo: amsn/mplayer/netbeans/etc
[03:44] <h3sp4wn> Shripani: Remove the cypherfunk.org entries from /etc/apt/sources.list then run sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude dist-upgrade
[03:44] <SurfnKid> prolly
[03:44] <nightcoder> maybelle: we need to get some info about your network
