[08:05] <noaXess> hav installed linux-source and find now this /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.12.tar.bz2
[08:05] <noaXess>
[08:05] <t_uk2> no
[08:05] <noaXess> need i extract it myself?
[08:05] <WarriorSlayer> quacker i understand what u've said
[08:05] <miki> But at all after changin sources.list I cannot install even previous version
[08:05] <quacker> Now, does anyone know how to force DMA on when hdparm is being ignored at boot?
[08:05] <mwe> t_uk2: what kind of computer is this?
[08:05] <WarriorSlayer> but i just want to know the file that i have to comment to disable that module to be loaded
[08:05] <t_uk2> well it is an old comp athlon 200xp 128 ram
[08:05] <topyli> miki: so, if it's available for debian, enable the debian unstable (or ubuntu dapper) source (deb-src) repository and build a package with a couple of commands
[08:06] <topyli> with apt
[08:06] <quacker> !lart WarriorSlayer
[08:06] <AMDXP> i thought an old comp was like 500MHz lol
[08:06] <t_uk2> 2000 xp soz
[08:06] <t_uk2> lol
[08:06] <mwe> t_uk2: should be enough to install. I don't know
[08:06] <quacker> WarriorSlayer, care mentally disabled?!?
[08:06] <miki> Yes, I did that way but 1 library (don't remember which) isn't present and availible for ubuntu
[08:06] <WarriorSlayer> quacker srry man
[08:06] <gnudreamer> amdxp i was thinking my i686 is outdated
[08:06] <miki> It's well known on usenet
[08:06] <t_uk2> i have already installed ubuntu before and suse
[08:07] <quacker> If the answer is yes -- get someome to help you in person.  I answered that question twice, yet you just keep asking it.  Next time /IGNORE
[08:07] <AMDXP> gnudreamer: wow then my pc is caveman
[08:07] <WarriorSlayer> quacker but just answer one question to me plz? if i put out the card of my pc, the module will still load or it'll load unproperly and be skiped?
[08:07] <topyli> miki: can you build it from Sid sources then?
[08:07] <mwe> t_uk2: weird then
[08:07] <gnudreamer> yeah but can you get it to do what you want it to amdxp?
[08:07] <t_uk2> yeah nobody seems to know what to do
[08:07] <miki> I don't know anything about Sid sources
[08:07] <quacker> Ok, that's the last time I try to answer any question until I edit my ignore script again
[08:07] <gnudreamer> warrior you need to load the mod yourelf
[08:08] <AMDXP> gnudreamer: of course that is why i am still on it and here my desktop is a AMD Sempron
[08:08] <topyli> miki: debian unstable sources
[08:08] <metalsand> Hi: I'm trying to get a PCMCIA wireless card to work
[08:08] <metalsand> but Ubuntu by default installed the wrong drivers for it.
[08:08] <metalsand> In Device Mananger it says info.linux.driver    orinoco_cs.
[08:08] <gnudreamer> than it's isnt dated is it?
[08:08] <miki> topyli: I already give up. I don't want amule anymore.
[08:08] <miki> Thx a lot for Your help
[08:08] <miki> gave up*
[08:08] <topyli> miki: ok then :)
[08:09] <ubuntutestrun> miki did you google for it?
[08:09] <miki> For a long time
[08:09] <miki> google's my best friend
[08:09] <t_uk2> i really wanted ubuntu cos i dont get suse
[08:09] <topyli> miki: emule + wine will probably give you more grief though
[08:09] <Chris_Tucker> how does one unrar??
[08:09] <gnudreamer> lsmod | grep bttv see if its loaded
[08:09] <quacker> miki consider yourself 'gifted' then
[08:09] <miki> I'm thinking of running it interchangeably
[08:09] <ubuntutestrun> ah, ok...
[08:09] <topyli> t_uk2: xubuntu will probably run on that box quite nicely
[08:09] <quacker> Some people seem google-challenged
[08:10] <quacker> =P
[08:10] <mwe> t_uk2: but he can't get the installer up
[08:10] <mwe> topyli: ^
[08:10] <topyli> oh
[08:10] <krach-aran> google ??? what's that :P
[08:10] <topyli> t_uk2: install a minimal debian woody, then upgrade to xubuntu?
[08:11] <shekhar> _jason, that command didn't work to get me logged in
[08:11] <quad_> Where do I find the linux kernel headers in ubuntu?
[08:11] <quacker> miki, there are great community-authored howtos on (1.) installing Java and (2.) installing azureus Java source package
[08:11] <quad_> Need the dest. for installation of Cisco VPN client.
[08:11] <shekhar> _jason, rm.{X,ICE}authority removed the files but i still couldn't login
[08:11] <tatters> E: apache: subprocess post-removal script returned error exit status 139 <--does anyone know how to fix this?
[08:11] <t_uk2> i wouldnt have a clue how to do that
[08:11] <mwe> topyli: Have you tried that? It sounds like it could work
[08:11] <slavik> I followed the sub java manual install guide
[08:11] <topyli> mwe: no i haven't but i figure it could work pretty easily
[08:12] <slavik> it seemed to work :)
[08:12] <miki> Oh, I've been told about azerus
[08:12] <quacker> Azureus is a VERY NICE bittorrent client that also talks to other P2P networks like e-mule
[08:12] <AMDXP> quaker: didnt they used to have a sticky in the forums for installing azureus
[08:12] <quacker> wiki.ubuntu.com is your friend
[08:12] <quad_> Linux kernel headers... where??
[08:12] <mwe> topyli: yeah it sounds sane enough
[08:12] <noaXess> where are the kernel-source files, have installed linux-source from 2.6.12
[08:12] <miki> Is there as much files as on ed2k and kad?
[08:12] <slavik> quacker: talking to edonkey network (emule is a windows clent) can be dangerous ...
[08:12] <quacker> AMD_XP,  wiki.ubuntu.com is your friend -- it's right there now
[08:12] <slavik> miki: yes there are
[08:12] <ubuntutestrun> the versio for emule is called amule
[08:12] <topyli> mwe: after all, woody is old enough, so not much of debian legacy should be left on the box
[08:12] <jenda> I have some trouble with gmail & thunderbird - I received a few large email and I felt that I have no need to DL them, so I opened the web interface and deleted them - but when I try to retrieve the mail w/ thunderbird it says receiving message 1 of 6 (which means it still tries to get the ones I removed) and it seems to get stuck eventually, without getting any mail at all. Anyone have any tips as to what I could do?
[08:12] <AMDXP> wow my nick is jacked up hold on
[08:12] <miki> Ok, so i'm a try it
[08:13] <AMDXP> oh ok
[08:13] <AMDXP> its ok
[08:13] <t_uk2> how would i do that
[08:13] <nekron> i can't play my mp3 using amarok.. i changed the engines but nothing :{
[08:13] <slavik> jenda: is the mail marked as read?
[08:13] <slavik> jenda: tell thunderbird not to retrieve mail that is read
[08:13] <metalsand> test.
[08:13] <quacker> slavik, well at least azureus doesn't run as root and is highly customizeable (if you have 'advanced skills' you can set global security options in your Java Runtime Environment too)
[08:14] <mwe> t_uk2: what kind of internet connection?
[08:14] <topyli> t_uk2: do a woody base install. edit sources.list to point to ubuntu breezy sources. then apt-get update, upgrade, dist-upgrade, and install xubuntu-desktop
[08:14] <jenda> slavik: I'll check that, but still, why does it get stuck, they aren't _that_ big...
[08:14] <slavik> quacker: I like it, because it has a built in tracker :)
[08:14] <t_uk2> that sounds really hard lol
[08:14] <quacker> topyli, I though mixing Debian and Ubuntu would break Linux... ???
[08:14] <shekhar> _jason, can you help further?
[08:14] <t_uk2> im only a newbie ;)
[08:14] <topyli> quacker: you think right
[08:14] <slavik> jenda: maybe the connections gets timed out for some reason and then can't get restarted ...
[08:14] <jenda> maybe...
[08:14] <mwe> t_uk2: but it's not hard. come here for help if you need to
[08:15] <frogzoo> any tips on how to install the gxmms applet onto the taskbar? I've installed the gxmms pkg, now what?
[08:15] <ubuntutestrun> miki?
[08:15] <ubuntutestrun> still around?
[08:15] <topyli> quacker: however, woody is very old and nothing will be left of it after the upgrade
[08:15] <slavik> jenda: it's the only reason I can come up ... could be a problem with gmail or thuinderbird or any software in between.
[08:15] <quacker> topyli what is the exceptional reason for recommending woody base here (just curious)?
[08:15] <miki> ubuntutestrun, yep
[08:15] <t_uk2> what do i get first
[08:15] <topyli> quacker: yes ^
[08:15] <nekron> anyone uses amarok?
[08:15] <mwe> topyli: but why not sarge?
[08:15] <Pygi> gnomefreak:ping
[08:15] <topyli> mwe: mwe: not old enough
[08:15] <slavik> I like the debian-stable guarantee :)
[08:15] <AMDXP> gnome: welcome back
[08:16] <ubuntutestrun> i will try to install amule, if it works i will leet you know
[08:16] <quacker> topyli, so are you sayint that you go up to when they froze Sarge at the point when it became 'binary-incompatible' with Breezy?
[08:16] <slavik> !amarok
[08:16] <ubotu> somebody said amarok was a music player for Linux and Unix with an intuitive interface. See http://amarok.kde.org ; amaroK's features: http://amarok.kde.org/content/view/51/1/
[08:16] <Chris_Tucker> how does one unrar a file?
[08:16] <mwe> topyli: not old enough? you some things would stick around?
[08:16] <topyli> mwe: with sarge yes
[08:16] <plett> frogzoo: right click on taskbar, "add to panel"
[08:16] <Hobble_> Chris_Tucker: unrar x file.rar
[08:16] <slavik> nekron: do you have a problem with amarok?
[08:16] <mwe> topyli: maybe so
[08:16] <frogzoo> plett, yep, but the gxmms applet's not there....
[08:16] <nekron> slavik: si, i can't play :~
[08:16] <metalsand> Can someone help me with getting my screen resolution to work? I've tried EVERY step in: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto and CANNOT get it to work.
[08:16] <topyli> quacker: no version has ever had a package as old as woody packages
[08:16] <miki> ubuntutestrun, ok, thx
[08:16] <slavik> OMG!!! chris tucker is using ubuntu!!! ^^
[08:17] <topyli> quacker: that's the guarantee :)
[08:17] <slavik> nekron: it just doesn't play the file without giving an error?
[08:17] <AMDXP> gnomefreak: you ok?
[08:17] <quacker> LOL
[08:17] <shekhar> can someone help me, i cannot login to ubuntu, says gdm cannot write authorisation file, i am totally locked out except if i login as root
[08:17] <plett> frogzoo: odd. it is on my machine
[08:17] <t_uk2> mwe so i got to download debian woody, can u give me a link for that lol
[08:17] <t_uk2> soz
[08:17] <BrickMaker> in koepete i'm trying to view some can cam.. getting error that i don't have jasper
[08:17] <mwe> t_uk2: debian.org
[08:17] <frogzoo> plett, wierd - I missed it b4 lo - k, thx
[08:18] <t_uk2> im on it but i cant find woody
[08:18] <slavik> shekhar: have you tried logging in as root and then relogging as a user in command line?
[08:18] <soundray> shekhar, sounds like your root partition is full.
[08:18] <mwe> t_uk2: I wonder why you can't bring up the installer if you did before
[08:18] <slavik> nekron: it just doesn't play the file without giving an error?
[08:18] <gnomefreak> is the package mozilla-mail thunderbird/mozilla browser?
[08:18] <t_uk2> yeah i know
[08:18] <metalsand> Can someone help me with getting my screen resolution to work? I've tried EVERY step in: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto and CANNOT get it to work.
[08:19] <topyli> t_uk2: hm. they probably don't advertise woody cd's very actively these days :)
[08:19] <quacker> topyli, what about installing  an older copy of Sarge with XFree86 X11R6, then changing to Breezy repos, then doing apt-get dist-upgrade with all XFree86 packages pinned in dselect/aptitude/synaptic ?
[08:19] <shekhar> soundray, it was, but i cleared lots of stuff and still have the problem
[08:19] <slavik> gnomefreak: mozilla usually includes a mail client ...
[08:19] <shekhar> slavik, how do i do that?
[08:19] <shekhar> slavik, i am logged in as root
[08:19] <gnomefreak> slavik: ty
[08:19] <plett> frogzoo: there must be a memory leak in gxmms, i have to restart it once a week to stop it using up all my ram
[08:19] <ubuntutestrun> miki : no luck
[08:19] <nekron> slavik: yes
[08:19] <ubuntutestrun> :{
[08:19] <noaXess> any idea? installed linux-source.. now where are this files? /usr/src/linux/include? there is nothing
[08:19] <owner> t_uk2 why dont you just use the vesa drivers
[08:19] <slavik> shekhar: log in as root, then kill gnome/kde to get to command line, log out, log in as the user and start the command line.
[08:19] <nekron> slavik: change for the next music.. but in xmms i play normal
[08:19] <t_uk2> what
[08:19] <owner> the xorg vesa drivers
[08:20] <topyli> quacker: no x. just the base install
[08:20] <owner> they work on all cards
[08:20] <slavik> nekron: could be that it doesn't find the library to play your media file ...
[08:20] <miki> ubuntutestrun, as I said, give up, save nerves
[08:20] <shekhar> slavik, i can do that, problem is that i cannot login to gnome directly as user
[08:20] <metalsand> owner: How do I change to vesa drivers
[08:20] <topyli> quacker: oh, i see, you want xfree86
[08:20] <t_uk2> i havent got a clue what u are on about
[08:20] <miki> azureus looks nice
[08:20] <slavik> shekhar: someone suggested that your root partition is full, see if it is ...
[08:20] <topyli> quacker: won't work, breezy X clients will depend on xorg
[08:20] <metalsand> owner: I've used a live CD and my resolution worked perfectly, but with Ubuntu something fails and I cannot adjust my resolution
[08:20] <zecrazytux> hey
[08:20] <phimic> hello all
[08:20] <frogzoo> plett, now just need to find a spare 1/2 inch to fit the applet :)
[08:21] <zecrazytux> how can i change my breezy for a dapper drake ? what "name" in the sources.list, please ?
[08:21] <Pygi> gnomefreak:ping
[08:21] <ubuntutestrun> miki
[08:21] <Pygi> !dapper
[08:21] <ubotu> from memory, dapper is The 6.04 version of Ubuntu will be called the "Dapper Drake" release. Release date April 20, 2006. Not before. It is NOT ready for use.  Use it at your _own_ risk, when it breaks you need to be able to fix it yourself.
[08:21] <miki> yep?
[08:21] <shekhar> slavik, i have cleared 50 mb from my root partition and still no luck :(
[08:21] <slavik> guys, is there a way to get the OSX bar thing without gDesklets?
[08:21] <metalsand> owner: How do I change to vesa drivers
[08:21] <metalsand> owner: I've used a live CD and my resolution worked perfectly, but with Ubuntu something fails and I cannot adjust my resolution
[08:21] <shekhar> slavik, i can login as user from cl
[08:21] <phimic> where can i find the Xorg 7.0 release?
[08:21] <slavik> shekhar: hmm ...
[08:21] <plett> frogzoo: your panel is that full? :)
[08:21] <t_uk2> i cant find woody, i know i will download the wrong one
[08:21] <slavik> shekhar: then what I wanted to suggest before is to reinstall gdm ...
[08:22] <ubuntutestrun> miki, accept dcc?
[08:22] <slavik> apt-get reinstall
[08:22] <shekhar> slavik, sudo apt-get reinstall gdm ?
[08:22] <slavik> shekhar: what's the error again?
[08:22] <miki> preffer mail
[08:22] <slavik> shekhar: that would be it ... I think
[08:22] <frogzoo> plett, it's pretty busy - both of them :D
[08:22] <ubuntutestrun> miki : hmm, you dont know dcc, right
[08:22] <plett> frogzoo: i still prefer xmms instead of rhythmbox or amarok. and especilly instead of totem
[08:22] <slavik> gimmie the full error, I want to try google
[08:22] <soundray> shekhar, 'sudo apt-get --reinstall install gdm'
[08:22] <slavik> !forumsdown
[08:22] <ubotu> ubuntuforums are moving to a new server and should be back up at about 23/1/2006 15:00 UTC (10am US EST)
[08:22] <quacker> topyli, I also want my *#%^ing DMA channels to work.   Do you know how to do that?
[08:23] <frogzoo> plett, I agree - xmms is very nice
[08:23] <quacker> ubotu, tell me about Xfree86
[08:23] <shekhar> slavik soundray : re-installing gdm...
[08:23] <ubuntutestrun> ok, here's the file for amule : http://akurashy.com/ubuntu/amule-2.1.0_2.1.0-1_i386.deb
[08:23] <Pygi> how can I fix non working gnome taskbar? :-P
[08:23] <xbox_sky> hi, I just installed unrar non free trough a debian file but it doesnt work too well, any ideas or what rep i'm missing?
[08:23] <kinagi> Hey. Uh, I'm trying to install a winamp rpm.  It says it's set up..but..what exactly do I do to use it?
[08:23] <soundray> shekhar, have you got space on root?
[08:23] <zecrazytux> well dapper drake is like the "testing" version of debian ?

[08:23] <shekhar> soundray, yes, i cleared space
[08:23] <kinagi> Uh, I assume so, owner./
[08:23] <soundray> shekhar, how about tmp?
[08:23] <miki> ubuntutestrun, yep
[08:24] <ubuntutestrun> ok
[08:24] <ubuntutestrun> :)
[08:24] <ubuntutestrun> download an save it somewhere...
[08:24] <shekhar> soundray, what do you mean?
[08:24] <ubuntutestrun> good luck
[08:24] <miki> last try

[08:24] <Wibble-> hey - trying to install nvidia drivers I get "NVRM: isr request failed".  Anyone got any clues what might be wrong?
[08:25] <kinagi> Hey. Uh, I'm trying to install a winamp rpm.  It says it's set up..but..what exactly do I do to use it?

[08:25] <shekhar> yep
[08:25] <quad_> Where do I find the linux kernel headers in ubuntu??
[08:25] <slavik> Wibble-: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=46590
[08:25] <shekhar> soundray slavik : thanks for your help, i'll be right back when i test if the gdm re-install worked
[08:25] <metalsand> Can I edit my xorg.conf with a new driver?
[08:25] <metalsand> Vesa works
[08:26] <slavik> shekhar: gl :)
[08:26] <kinagi> Of course, first time the place is active, no one will respond to me.
[08:26] <metalsand> but it's using i810.
[08:26] <soundray> shekhar, okay, good luck -- I may be unresponsive at times.
[08:26] <slavik> metalsand: you need to install the driver first ...
[08:26] <Wibble-> thanks slavik
[08:26] <metalsand> slavik: Isn't vesa installed by default?
[08:26] <quad_> Can anybody help me?
[08:26] <ompaul> !anyone
[08:26] <ubotu> probably 90% of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? <hint>
[08:27] <Pygi> com'on how to fix gnome taskbar? :-P
[08:27] <plett> kinagi: just install xmms. it looks and feels very similar to winamp
[08:27] <quad_> Should be a rather simple question
[08:27] <soundray> quad_, the packages are called linux-headers-*
[08:28] <slavik> metalsand: I'd guess so
[08:28] <johndo> I can't get amarok to build a collection of mp3's over a sambamount
[08:28] <slavik> metalsand: I thought you wanted some other driver
[08:28] <quad_> soundray, but I need to find the distination for them.  Where would I find the needful stuff?
[08:29] <soundray> quad_, what's the problem you are actually trying to solve?
[08:29] <slavik> you need to edit the config file then :)
[08:29] <quad_> soundray, apt-get install linux-headers-*
[08:30] <soundray> quad_, what's the problem you are actually trying to solve?
[08:30] <slavik> metalsand: you want to switch back to vesa?
[08:30] <quad_> soundray, it is an VPN client install file, asking for the destination.
[08:30] <metalsand> slavik: I've never used vesa, but that's what I want to use because I know my resolution works in vesa.
[08:30] <ompaul> Pygi, try >>gnome-panel<< and let us know what happens
[08:30] <slavik> metalsand: in the config file, find the area for the video
[08:30] <metalsand> slavik: Do I just simply set vesa as the Driver: in xorg.conf?
[08:30] <slavik> then change the driver line
[08:30] <slavik> yes
[08:30] <slavik> that is my understanding ...
[08:30] <noaXess> somebody any idea? where is the default linux-source path?
[08:31] <slavik> I would back up the config file just in case
[08:31] <Pygi> ompaul: well, gnome-panel is already running :)
[08:31] <slavik> noaXess: have you tried the wiki? the answer might be there
[08:31] <soundray> quad_, installing an Ubuntu package?
[08:31] <quad_> soundray, no - how do you meen?
[08:31] <noaXess> slavik: wiki on ubuntu.com.. no not yet
[08:32] <shekhar> slavik and soundray: thanks for your help, i fixed the problem!
[08:32] <slavik> yes, that wiki
[08:32] <ompaul> Pygi, so what is wrong with it then?
[08:32] <shekhar> slavik and soundray :)
[08:32] <slavik> :D
[08:32] <soundray> quad_, you seem to want a VPN client on your machine. Are you installing from an Ubuntu package, or from some other source?
[08:32] <slavik> the reinstall did it?
[08:32] <soundray> Well done shekhar.
[08:32] <Melechorion> hi
[08:33] <slavik> linux and windows aren't that different after all ^^
[08:33] <quad_> soundray, In that case, no. I DL'ed a tarball from a site, and now I am installing it, by running a file in it, called vpn_install
[08:33] <Melechorion> I've got a problem with my nVidia Sound driver. The Kernel header is installed and gcc-3.4 & g++-3.4 too. whats wrong? http://paste.ubuntuusers.de/1502
[08:34] <gnomefreak> quad_: that works?
[08:34] <soundray> quad_, what's the name of the software you are trying to install?
[08:34] <slavik> Melechorion: simple, cc is not aliased to gcc :)
[08:34] <noaXess> aha..
[08:34] <quad_> soundray, Cisco VPN Client
[08:34] <pixelfairy> anyone here use firestarter?
[08:34] <ubuntutestrun> why is there not one single package for all multi media needs?
[08:34] <ubuntutestrun> would be much cooler!
[08:34] <pixelfairy> tried it, and couldnt edit policy, even trying to run it as root
[08:34] <FliesLikeALap> quad_,  i'm having probs with that too
[08:34] <noaXess> slavik: is it normal.. that install linux.source over synaptic only download the source.. not extract it?
[08:35] <slavik> ubuntutestrun: in the OSS community, you have the power to create such a package :)
[08:35] <pixelfairy> ubuntutestrun: you could download the all-blahblah from mplayerhq.hu
[08:35] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell ubuntutestrun about easysource
[08:35] <soundray> quad_, any particular reason why you want Cisco instead of a package that has been tried and tested with Ubuntu?
[08:35] <Melechorion> slavik: how can I do it?
[08:35] <xbox_sky> ugh firestarter..........
[08:35] <ubuntutestrun> yeah where is easy source?
[08:35] <pixelfairy> xbox_sky: so you tried it too?
[08:35] <soundray> !easysource
[08:35] <ubotu> For an easy to use custom sources.list creator, visit http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[08:35] <slavik> noaXess: I would expect the extraction unless you told it to download only
[08:35] <gnomefreak> ubuntutestrun: read the pm ubotu sent you
[08:35] <Pygi> ompaul: sorry, system froze :/
[08:35] <ubuntutestrun> ah
[08:35] <ubuntutestrun> yes i know now!
[08:35] <Pygi> gnomefreak: you alive? :p
[08:35] <slavik> Melechorion: hold on, going to look up the man page for alias :)
[08:36] <quad_> soundray, just picked the one that came reccomended by my university techstaff.
[08:36] <pixelfairy> for some reason my roomates comp started freezing when that ran
[08:36] <ubuntutestrun> but still its the cipher repository\
[08:36] <pixelfairy> and seems to have gone away since she took it off
[08:36] <xbox_sky> pixelfairy, yeah man, I can't say I like it either... I had to KILL it in order to shut it down, despite my settings
[08:36] <FliesLikeALap> yeah quad i can't get mine to install on the latest ubuntu kernel
[08:36] <ubuntutestrun> wich is overloaded as it is..
[08:36] <ubuntutestrun> did you know that?
[08:36] <miki> ubuntutestrun, $amule ; (...) Fatal Error: Mismatch between the program and library build versions detected.
[08:36] <ompaul> Pygi, is it okay now?
[08:36] <xbox_sky> portforward killed my connection.......nowdays i'm running guarddog or no GUI fw at all
[08:36] <ubuntutestrun> miki, not nice
[08:36] <Pygi> ompaul: no :/
[08:36] <pixelfairy> soooo, do i make a iptalbes script, or is there a better gui fw?
[08:36] <quad_> soundray, http://kortlink.dk/2cf9, FliesLikeABrick, oh... same prob. as me??
[08:36] <gnomefreak> ubuntutestrun: seveas repo is also a multimedia heaven
[08:37] <pixelfairy> i dont really want to teach an end user all about tcp/ip and iptables
[08:37] <noaXess> slavik: normaly i do not activate the option to download only.. hm...
[08:37] <FliesLikeALap> yeah quad mine worked until i upgraded my kernel a month ago
[08:37] <ubuntutestrun> seveas, ok cool
[08:37] <slavik> Melechorion: http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man1/alias.1.html
[08:37] <pixelfairy> ubuntutestrun: theres easyubuntu in the works, you should help test it
[08:37] <pixelfairy> its a script to do all that
[08:37] <ifiroth> hi
[08:37] <Melechorion> thx
[08:37] <slavik> Melechorion: alias cc='gcc'
[08:37] <slavik> hat should work
[08:37] <quad_> I just upgraded today... but, I seem to have problems just installing though.
[08:37] <ompaul> Pygi, so hit print screen and paste the screenshot in paste.ubuntu-nl.org and then maybe I can have some idea of what is bugging you
[08:37] <newuser> i have a 20GB ext drive,usb, it will show up in file browser for a few seconds then it is gone, any ideas?
[08:37] <holycow> does anyone know how to run a .jnlp file in ubuntu?  i thought a web runtime was supposed to automaticall startup for that, no?
[08:37] <ubuntutestrun> miki , got amule up and running
[08:37] <slavik> noaXess: then it could be that the package says to download the stuff only ...
[08:37] <quad_> FliesLikeABrick, I just upgraded today... but, I seem to have problems just installing though.
[08:37] <Pygi> well, the lower taskbar is not showing which apps are running :)
[08:38] <miguel_> hola
[08:38] <christianmortal> hello all
[08:38] <slavik> newuser: bad USB connection?
[08:38] <christianmortal> im new to linux and id love some help with my wifi
[08:38] <christianmortal> can anyone help
[08:38] <metalsand> Great. THat didn't work
[08:38] <slavik> christianmortal: do you know what 'ndiswrapper' is?
[08:38] <BrickMaker> in koepete i'm trying to view some can cam.. getting error that i don't have jasper
[08:38] <metalsand> It just made my screen all pixalated and fuzzy
[08:38] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; yes what is it?
[08:38] <christianmortal> yep ive installed it
[08:38] <Pygi> ompaul: you understand? :P
[08:38] <pixelfairy> christianmortal: did you check the wifi and ndiswrapper at http://wiki.ubuntu.org
[08:38] <metalsand> Is there anyone that can ACTUALLY get my screen resolution to work?
[08:38] <soundray> quad_, if this software needs the kernel headers, you have to 'sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)'
[08:38] <metalsand> I don't think it's possible.
[08:38] <slavik> christianmortal: hold on
[08:39] <christianmortal> ok
[08:39] <pixelfairy> oops
[08:39] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; what card type?
[08:39] <varsendagger> hey are there ways to tune up gnome to make it run faster?
[08:39] <metalsand> I dunno why it works on everything but Ubuntu....
[08:39] <ifiroth> i'm new in Ubuntu, can someone tell me about some good website ?
[08:39] <gnomefreak> !fixres
[08:39] <ubotu> Please read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[08:39] <slavik> christianmortal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HowToSetUpNdiswrapper?highlight=%28ndiswrapper%29
[08:39] <peter__> ndiswrapper is a package that allows you to run windows drivers for network cards
[08:39] <pixelfairy> christianmortal: https://wiki.ubuntu.com
[08:39] <metalsand> gnomefreak: I went through EVERY step in that guide
[08:39] <ompaul> Pygi, exit go to a terminal and do this "killall nautilus"
[08:39] <christianmortal> its a ralink RT2500
[08:39] <metalsand> gnomefreak: I don't know if I did something incorrect, but none of those options worked.
[08:39] <pixelfairy> they have a special page for that one
[08:39] <ubuntutestrun> miki : what version of ubuntu have you got?
[08:40] <quad_> soundray, It seems according to my pkg manager, that the pkg is installed. And is placed at /usr/include/linux - can that be the right one??
[08:40] <jenda> Hmm... my Thunderbird still attempts to download 6 messages and gets stuck, even though there are only two in my inbox... no messages in the archive are marked unread, and thunderbird is set only to scoop the inbox. It's obviously remembering the number, not checking it. Is there a way to "clear" it's memory? (slavik)
[08:40] <ubuntutestrun> miki : i got it running on breezy right now
[08:40] <christianmortal> newest stable
[08:40] <theSamo> keren re-compilation guide please
[08:40] <slavik> christianmortal: follow the guide on the page I gave you, it's the best I can do atm ...
[08:40] <BrickMaker> i'm trying to view cam on kopete i'm getting error some thing like jasper
[08:40] <gnomefreak> metalsand: did you run through dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?
[08:40] <peter__> I have an ralink 2500 and it is working perfectly under breezy badger ubuntu
[08:40] <metalsand> gnomefreak: No.
[08:40] <soundray> quad_, to find out where a package puts its files, do 'dpkg -L packagename'
[08:40] <theSamo> kernel^
[08:40] <metalsand> gnomefreak: You mean the first option?
[08:40] <metalsand> gnomefreak: Yes, I did that. Nothing
[08:40] <slavik> jenda: I have no clue ...
[08:41] <gnomefreak> metalsand: use sudo and do that set the res at the levels you would like to use/have to use
[08:41] <christianmortal> it ran under the cd live but under install it does not connect
[08:41] <feistel> hi
[08:41] <slavik> jenda: I'd try the thunderbird/mozilla channel ...
[08:41] <FliesLikeALap> soundray,  mine errs on compilation of the cisco ipset module
[08:41] <slavik> hello
[08:41] <feistel> how I can install a GTK 2 theme?
[08:41] <BrickMaker> aight.. i think nobody experience wtih Kopete
[08:41] <noaXess> slavik: synaptic download the linux-source .deb file and extract the .tar.bz2 file into /usr/src...
[08:41] <christianmortal> hello
[08:41] <jenda> slavik: OK :)
[08:41] <metalsand> gnomefreak: I don't get it.. "and do that", what is that?
[08:41] <FliesLikeALap> bah well i'l go back to it on my own
[08:41] <FliesLikeALap> i'm in class now so meh
[08:41] <gnomefreak> feistel: synaptic
[08:41] <slavik> feistel: download the tar.gz and then use the theme manager to install it
[08:41] <christianmortal> so what next
[08:41] <Fragging> feistel: system -> preferences -> theme
[08:42] <peter__> I just got AUtomatix loaded, and it installed Ndiswrapper as well, with a gui
[08:42] <slavik> noaXess: is that dir fine with you?
[08:42] <gnomefreak> meta type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and go through each step carfully.
[08:42] <soundray> FliesLikeALap, quad_, always better to use Ubuntu packaged software.
[08:42] <slavik> peter__: if you use the default ubuntu installation, then ndiswrapper should be installed automatically
[08:42] <noaXess> slavik: i think so.. i think i need extract it myself..
[08:42] <christianmortal> ok then its installed
[08:43] <noaXess> slavik: like explained in wiki :)
[08:43] <hartsantler> has anybody tried ubuntu64bit, is it much faster than 32bit, would python be any faster?
[08:43] <slavik> noaXess: you can always do that ^^
[08:43] <christianmortal> i can call it via bah
[08:43] <christianmortal> bash
[08:43] <FliesLikeALap> soundray,  will a ubuntu packaged vpn client be compatible with my school's infrastructure
[08:43] <christianmortal> sorry
[08:43] <bleaked> hello, i am a debian user, and am helping a friend go linux.  he installed kubuntu.  i know in deb there are various branches (stable/testing/unstable) -- does this apply to ubuntu as well?  like if he wants more recent software, is there another set of reps?
[08:43] <slavik> noaXess: can you give me the link to the wiki page?
[08:43] <pixelfairy> hartsantler: it wouldnt, except for doing 64bit math
[08:43] <feistel> Fragging: I need install from console
[08:43] <pixelfairy> or playing with >4gigs of ram
[08:43] <feistel> I don't have a gnome desktop
[08:43] <soundray> FliesLikeALap, depends on which client you choose. Check with 'apt-cache show packagename'
[08:43] <slavik> FliesLikeALap: if your school's vpn is  standard, then probably
[08:43] <Fragging> feistel: sorry, then I can't help you
[08:43] <FliesLikeALap> k soundray  i'll look into it later
[08:44] <gnomefreak> feistel: what desktop do you have?
[08:44] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; what card type ? pcmcia , usb, ?
[08:44] <_luiz> i can't get my sound to work
[08:44] <feistel> gnomefreak: KDE
[08:44] <mwe> hartsantler: also I hear people having problems with multimedia and having no java or flash plugin
[08:44] <christianmortal> im still a little confused as how to install the driver for my card under for ndiswrapper
[08:44] <feistel> slavik: where I can find a theme installer?
[08:44] <gnomefreak> feistel: use adept or synaptic
[08:44] <war-totem> _luiz: try typing esd in a console
[08:44] <slavik> mwe: java does not come by default
[08:44] <Fragging> feistel: maybe untar the tar.gz the theme came in and place the contents in your ~/.themes ? If I'm correct, not sure....
[08:44] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; what card type ? pcmcia , usb, ?
[08:44] <soundray> hartsantler, 64bit is worth it if you have applications that are limited by memory throughput.
[08:44] <christianmortal> pcmcia
[08:45] <_luiz> even if i'm using KDE?
[08:45] <christianmortal> belkin
[08:45] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; brand? and does it light up ?
[08:45] <war-totem> _luiz: yea
[08:45] <feistel> gnomefreak: adept and synaptic is for .deb packages
[08:45] <feistel> I need a theme installer, not a package installer
[08:45] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; at boot time of ubuntu
[08:45] <christianmortal> it did with the live cd but not under a fresh install
[08:45] <soundray> hartsantler, I have one app that runs six times faster on amd64 2Ghz than on i686 3GHz.
[08:45] <slavik> feistel: downlaod a theme from gnomelook.org, then open the theme manager thingy (system -> preferences -> themes) then click on install new theme button and point it to the archive you downloaded
[08:45] <christianmortal> nope
[08:45] <war-totem> _luiz: fyi their is a kubuntu channel
[08:45] <feistel> slavik: I don't have a GTK desktop
[08:45] <_luiz> "command not found"
[08:45] <Pygi> ompaul: I've tried that before also...and tried now...hasn't worked
[08:45] <feistel> I need a theme for gimp
[08:46] <gnomefreak> feistel: use gnome-look.org or art.gnome.org
[08:46] <_luiz> yea, i know
[08:46] <slavik> feistel: what do you use?
[08:46] <peter__> I was really impressed with Automatix. Loaded all the video and audio plugins, codecs, and about 25 common packages with dependencies in like 3 hours. I Loaded Kubuntu, had all kinds of root permission issues, ended up loading ubuntu then loading Kubuntu-desktop on top of it for the KDE
[08:46] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; do you know the type name and number?
[08:46] <christianmortal> of the card yea one sec
[08:46] <slavik> feistel: kde?
[08:46] <feistel> gnomefreak: I have a tarball of my theme
[08:46] <feistel> slavik: yes
[08:46] <Pygi> ubotu tell peter__ about automatix
[08:46] <pixelfairy> kubuntu on top of ubuntu seems pretty nice
[08:46] <christianmortal> Belkin F5D7010 version 3
[08:46] <pixelfairy> ifyou have the space anyway
[08:46] <slavik> feistel: then go to the kde menu, look for the way to change the theme ... I forget where it is ...
[08:46] <war-totem> _luiz: is yoru sound card deteted?
[08:46] <Amaranth> peter__: automatix broke kubuntu or kubuntu was just broken?
[08:46] <gahan> can i set default gtk font?
[08:46] <slavik> and then point it to the archive too
[08:47] <war-totem> _luiz: detected
[08:47] <Fragging> I wonder, is anyone else having problems with Rhytmbox in Dapper? It won't play anything at all for me?
[08:47] <gnomefreak> ubotu tell peter__ about easyubuntu
[08:47] <_luiz> nope
[08:47] <peter__> Kubuntu was just broken
[08:47] <_luiz> it's an onboard AD1888
[08:47] <slavik> ubotu tell slavik about easyubuntu
[08:47] <_luiz> with M5455
[08:47] <peter__> I couldnt get permissions, i even went in and did sudo passwd root and changed it, it changed it right back
[08:47] <hkais> hi
[08:48] <Pygi> ompaul: thoughts?
[08:48] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; ok give me one minute
[08:48] <gahan> how do i set/change gtk1.2 font?
[08:48] <christianmortal> great
[08:48] <slavik> gahan: you mean the default font?
[08:48] <mwe> gahan: use "switch" from gtk-theme-switch
[08:48] <ompaul> Pygi, none, at the moment
[08:48] <mwe> gahan: you can't use ttf fonts though
[08:49] <war-totem> _luiz: not quite sure how to get kubuntu to detect a sound card, but their must be a manual way around it
[08:49] <gahan> they're nasty. the xmms right-click menu and xmms configuration is just unreadable (i dont mean the playlist/main window fonts). afaik it's controleld my gtk12
[08:49] <gahan> i'll try that switch
[08:49] <hkais> i have under /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-686 a volatile directory, how can I update the containing modules?
[08:49] <ompaul> Pygi, are you running breezy?
[08:50] <mwe> gahan: you can't get a beatiful font in gtk1. you can limit the pain though
[08:50] <soundray> hkais, by updating the kernel package.
[08:50] <pixelfairy> nexus is a pretty font
[08:50] <Pygi> ompaul: yes, the dapper edition works great, better then breezy :)
[08:50] <holycow> anyone knokw how to get jnlp java files to actually run as a java applet inside a browser window?  my browsers insist on trying to save the file
[08:50] <gahan> ok, thanks
[08:50] <FliesLikeALap> soundray,  the vpnc package looks promising, itll most likely work out when i can take the time to configure it
[08:50] <gnomefreak> gahan: you can change your font at system>prefferences>font
[08:50] <FliesLikeALap> quad_, check out the vpnc package
[08:50] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; trying to find an good how to
[08:50] <hkais> soundray: is it possible to avoid this? I want only to add the fglrx.ko
[08:50] <war-totem> _luiz: try this, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2743
[08:51] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; you have to install ndisrapper, did you manage to do that?
[08:51] <soundray> hkais, for that, I suggest you install the linux-restricted package that contains it.
[08:51] <christianmortal> yea thats ok and installed
[08:51] <BrickMaker> where i can get good icons ?
[08:51] <_luiz> i'll take a look
[08:51] <quad_> FliesLikeABrick, im on it, and if you have looked at the link i threw, im following the Debian approach
[08:51] <_luiz> thanks
[08:51] <ompaul> Pygi, was that a yes Pygi is running breezy?
[08:51] <hkais> soundray: i have installed the restricted, but i want to use the current version of the ati driver
[08:52] <christianmortal> but it thought the card was supported
[08:52] <FliesLikeALap> sorry quad_ , i'm in class and missed your link, mind pasting again?
[08:52] <Pygi> ompaul: yes, the problem arisses on breezy
[08:52] <BrickMaker> Help
[08:52] <quad_> FliesLikeABrick, not at all: http://kortlink.dk/2cf9
[08:52] <soundray> hkais, have you found the instructions?
[08:52] <BrickMaker> i wanted to change my linux style .. i would love task bar as windows style how can i do it?
[08:52] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; some get it working, some dont...but you need ndisrapper any how
[08:52] <hkais> soundray: no, there can i find it?
[08:52] <christianmortal> ok
[08:52] <soundray> ubotu, tell hkais about ati
[08:52] <hkais> i got it working, but i had to replace the driver manually
[08:53] <BrickMaker> i wanted to change my linux style .. i would love to change linux gnome task bar in windows style task bar how can i do it?
[08:53] <slavik> BrickMaker: find the proper theme
[08:53] <_luiz> well... at least the sound worked very well on Hoary
[08:53] <BrickMaker> slavik, Proper theme from where?
[08:53] <slavik> gnomelook.org?
[08:54] <BrickMaker> Ok
[08:54] <noaXess> is it possible, that vmware can't be installed on a debian based system?
[08:54] <noaXess> also from source?
[08:54] <gnomefreak> gnome-look.org
[08:54] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; are you still there?
[08:54] <christianmortal> yep
[08:55] <slavik> noaXess: I don't see a reason why it wouldn't be allowed to install
[08:55] <ubuntutestrun> ok, i give you an url for website, please read it ..and hopefully it will
[08:55] <ubuntutestrun> help you to get it up and running
[08:55] <Pygi> ompaul: why does dapper works better then breezy :)))
[08:55] <ubuntutestrun> if not try here again, ok?
[08:55] <ubuntutestrun> http://www.signal2noise.co.uk/~eason/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/technical
[08:55] <johndo> why can't I post here:  http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=68028
[08:55] <noaXess> slavik: i to.. it says there is no version.h in the /usr/src/linux files..
[08:55] <ubuntutestrun> book mark it...
[08:56] <ubuntutestrun> :)
[08:56] <noaXess> slavik: i have extracted /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.12.tar.bz2
[08:56] <slavik> noaXess: hmm ... try to search for that file
[08:56] <noaXess> and made ln -s linux-source-2.6.12.tar.bz2 linux
[08:56] <noaXess> slavik: for what file?
[08:56] <slavik> version.h
[08:56] <noaXess> version.h
[08:56] <noaXess> ah ok..
[08:57] <slavik> maybe it wasn't with the package ...
[08:57] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; got the website and found the info? for your card and instructions...?
[08:57] <hkais> soundray: i have done the setup like in the instruction, except, that i cannot remove my restricted modules...
[08:57] <BrickMaker> i have this theme http://gnomelook.org/content/show.php?content=33513  .... but my task bar is still at same side
[08:58] <BrickMaker> in screen shot you can see the difference
[08:58] <christianmortal> ok great
[08:58] <soundray> hkais, that shouldn't be necessary.
[08:58] <christianmortal> so do you think we can configure it
[08:59] <Pygi> gnomefreak:ping
[08:59] <christianmortal> ideally it would be great if we could compile the driver and install it
[08:59] <christianmortal> but if ndis is anygood then i can use that
[08:59] <Pygi> com'on people, help me with gnome :-P
[09:00] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; how do you normally instal packages?
[09:01] <noaXess> slavik: version.h should be in /user/src/linux/.. see error..
[09:01] <christianmortal> well using make
[09:01] <christianmortal> is there an easier way
[09:01] <hkais> soundray: anyway the kernel loads the fglrx provided by restricted package
[09:01] <noaXess> slavik: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/7541
[09:02] <hkais> soundray: but I need the ati newer version...
[09:02] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; well never mind, open console , apt-get install ndisrapper-utils
[09:02] <hkais> ubutu tell hkais volatile
[09:02] <_robin> i'm switching to kubuntu, how to get rid of the GNOME packages like synaptic, at once, and have a computer like i only installed kubuntu and not ubuntu?

[09:03] <hkais> ubutu tell hkais about volatile
[09:03] <Pygi> sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop
[09:03] <_robin> Pygi: no that doesn't work
[09:03] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; did it install?
[09:03] <_robin> since kubuntu-desktop remove ubuntu-desktop
[09:03] <ompaul> Pygi, sudo apt-get reinstall
[09:03] <_robin> and removing ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage
[09:03] <_robin> doesn't work.
[09:04] <Pygi> ompaul: tried already
[09:04] <soft> hi
[09:04] <ubuntutestrun> oh, you are so soft!

[09:06] <Pygi>  ompaul: tried that as well
[09:06] <bobbyd> hi
[09:06] <gonzalocortes> is there some one?
[09:06] <noaXess> ubotu: tell noaxess about linux-source
[09:06] <goo> I am having some problems with Rhythmbox. It doesn't want to play mp3. I have installed the gstreamer-mad package, but that didn't do it. I did a apt-get --reinstall install rhythmbox as well. Are there any dark magic I have to perform to get it working?
[09:06] <bobbyd> when i update my kernel, my nvidia binary driver stops working
[09:06] <hkais> soundray: could you help me with my problem?
[09:06] <bobbyd> what do i need to do to get it to work again afeter a kernel upgrade?
[09:06] <ompaul> Pygi, would you mind telling me how you ended up in this mess?
[09:06] <gonzalocortes> we need information about web cam services in Ubuntu
[09:07] <noaXess> ubotu: tell noaxess about kernel-source
[09:07] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; console type ndiswrapper -i /mnt/cdrom0/Driver/bcmwl5.inf
[09:07] <soundray> hkais, if you don't need anything else from the restricted modules, try 'sudo apt-get remove linux-restricted-modules-$(uname -r)'
[09:07] <bobbyd> gonzalocortes, webcams show as "video for linux" devices if they're suppored
[09:07] <Pygi> ompaul: well, I've been creating several patches to gnome, and I applied them...but none of them were in any way related with gnome-panel
[09:07] <Pygi> and patches actually work :-P
[09:08] <gonzalocortes> thanks bobbyd, but where I could found that?
[09:08] <gonzalocortes> I am new in this
[09:08] <ompaul> Pygi, remove them and see what happens :)
[09:08] <christianmortal> that file is not on the cd rom
[09:08] <Pygi> ompaul: tried...won't work ...
[09:08] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; thats not good...
[09:09] <christianmortal> well there are only .sys files
[09:09] <_robin> does that one work? that removegnome?
[09:09] <Pygi> ompaul: I've tried a lot of things, but the solution must be simple, just I can't remember :-P
[09:09] <ompaul> Pygi, well you have done something, it looks like kill off gnome and reinstall it, and this time build a dev version to break
[09:09] <gonzalocortes> somebody plz, can said me how can I made work my web cam on ubuntu?
[09:09] <xbox_sky> xbmc dev, hhahah what a joke...
[09:09] <cratel2> trying to get DRI working on a via graphics card. Do I have to recompile the kernel? Please say no...
[09:09] <bimberi> _robin: i've never done it - it's a prebby serious apt-get remove command though :)
[09:10] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; thats where my knowledge stops, becuase i am at this end of the globe and you on the other..
[09:10] <bimberi> *pretty
[09:10] <cratel2> if I *do* have to recompile the kernel, can I find the standard options which were used when the Breezy kernel was made?
[09:10] <bimberi> ubotu tell gonzalocortes about webcam
[09:10] <_robin> i think removing KDE is better
[09:10] <_robin> erm
[09:10] <_robin> GTK*
[09:10] <christianmortal> well can i not download the driver
[09:10] <Xenguy> !tell gonzalocortes about webcam

[09:11] <noaXess> hi joey222  nice
[09:11] <_robin> what's the gtk package?*
[09:11] <noaXess> ;)
[09:11] <christianmortal> could the file be hidden
[09:12] <ubuntutestrun> dont think so , but you can try with nautilus
[09:12] <ubuntutestrun> to show hidden files
[09:12] <joey222> just came back, have to instal Ubuntu cus as usual my Server 2003 box failed while i was away
[09:12] <_robin> what's the gtk package?
[09:12] <_robin> ahh, found it
[09:13] <Pygi> ompaul: k, I just did some changes to patches
[09:13] <Pygi> lemme restart
[09:13] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; do an dmesg
[09:14] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; on console..
[09:14] <christianmortal> i get lots of stuff
[09:15] <Curt> has anyone put gcompris (educational software) on ubuntu ?
[09:15] <giard> is there a package checkin monitor for the dapper packages so you can see as new ones are added and update?
[09:15] <noaXess> whats the newset kernel-headers version?
[09:15] <moto> when i install a program and try to run it, it always says "failed to execute child process. no such file or directory"
[09:15] <moto> any ideas?

[09:16] <mansoor> I want to run GPRS over Bluetooth
[09:17] <christianmortal> tells me that ra0 has no ipv6 routers present
[09:18] <Pygi> ompaul: guess what :P
[09:18] <FarrisG> Every once in a while, a user or two will have the group write bit turned on for his entire home directory, and none of these users ever remembers doing it himself. I have no scripts that run as root. Any idea what could be causing this?
[09:18] <Pygi> ompaul: it still refuses to work :/
[09:18] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; hehe
[09:19] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; well, i am looking around to see if i can get an other way..
[09:19] <ompaul> Pygi, you borked it, your code - rebuild a clean install and a dev install - then you can dd clean over dev when you bork it again
[09:19] <ompaul> Pygi, subversion
[09:19] <antisocial_boris> if i want to move my /home and /swap partitions to an external hard drive all i have to do is create these partions on the hd, copy everything over then change /etc/fstab right?
[09:19] <christianmortal> whats wrong with the sys file
[09:19] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; are you sure that this : Belkin 54g card F5D7010 is the card?
[09:20] <deefzi> native english speakers: "attourney in law" or "attourney at law"
[09:20] <keherman> hey guys, im going to upgrade an entire school lab (25 PCs) from RHEL3 to Ubuntu Breezy -- any pointers for using LDAP and mounting remote /home with the existing server setup?
[09:20] <deefzi> -u sorry
[09:20] <ashyg> he guys whenever i restart for the third time after installing ubuntu i get a GRUB error 13
[09:20] <ashyg> is there a way to make it install LILO instead?
[09:21] <mwe> ashyg: what's error 13?
[09:21] <keherman> I'm wondering what the proper way to install/partition if I am going to remotely mount the server's /home directory??
[09:21] <ashyg> error 15*
[09:21] <ashyg> not 13, sorry
[09:21] <christianmortal> 100% sure
[09:21] <christianmortal> its a version 3
[09:21] <mwe> ashyg: what does it indicate?
[09:22] <keherman> mwe, google it
[09:22] <ashyg> file not found mwe
[09:22] <Wibble-> My monitor returns incorrect DDC information about what it supports (and omits some DDC information such as the horiz/vert refresh rate).  I know what the monitor supports from the web (and having seen it running on this monitor previously).  Can I make xorg ignore the DDC info returned by my monitor?
[09:22] <ashyg> i've reinstalled ubuntu like 5 times
[09:22] <mwe> keherman: why would I do that? I'm not having it
[09:22] <ashyg> and without fail, the third time i boot i get a GRUB error 15
[09:22] <Pygi> ompaul: can you guess the "so obvious" solution? :)))
[09:23] <mwe> ashyg: so is your menu.lst correct? did you update or something? what happened before it broke?
[09:23] <keherman> ashyg, does this computer have a recovery software on the hard drive?
[09:23] <ashyg> no sir
[09:23] <keherman> ashyg, what PC is it?
[09:23] <ashyg> i haven't done anything
[09:23] <ashyg> what do you mean what PC
[09:23] <shad0w1e> how do I view all iptables rules??
[09:23] <keherman> ashyg, is it from a manufacturer?
[09:23] <keherman> or custom built?
[09:23] <ashyg> custom
[09:24] <mwe> ashyg: so this error just suddenly appeared? not that I doubt it
[09:24] <keherman> ashyg, ok so there is no recovery partition good
[09:24] <keherman> ashyg, last time it worked was when?
[09:24] <ashyg> yes mwe, it suddenly appears... like i said, i can reinstall ubuntu then the third time i boot it it happens
[09:24] <christianmortal> Hey Ubuntutestrun i have another card handy
[09:24] <ashyg> keherman: never
[09:24] <ompaul> ashyg, search for "Invalid or unsupported executable format" on this http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.txt
[09:24] <christianmortal> Its a DLINK DWL 610
[09:24] <keherman> ashyg, this is a first time install?
[09:24] <mwe> ashyg: hmm.
[09:24] <christianmortal> how about we try that one
[09:24] <christianmortal> no driver disk though
[09:24] <ashyg> keherman: the first time ubuntu was installed on this system, it occured on the third boot
[09:24] <mwe> ashyg: can you mount the partition from a live cd or something?
[09:24] <ashyg> so i reinstalled
[09:25] <ashyg> and it keeps happening
[09:25] <christianmortal> but i guess we can download the driver from the wiki
[09:25] <ashyg> i don't have a live cd i am going to use the install cd to install lilo
[09:25] <keherman> ashyg, did you format the ENTIRE DISK?
[09:25] <ashyg> i have four hard disks
[09:25] <ashyg> one is my windows one
[09:25] <Stormx2> Could someone give me a hand with connecting to a server using GNOME's "Connect to server" functionality and samba?
[09:25] <ashyg> the other is my ubuntu one
[09:25] <ashyg> the other two are for data
[09:25] <ompaul> ashyg, do you do updated after the second boot?
[09:25] <keherman> ashyg, sounds like your boot loader is choosing the wrong one then -- is it SERIAL ATA?
[09:25] <ashyg> no, none are SATA, all IDE
[09:25] <ompaul> ashyg, do you do updates after the second boot?
[09:26] <ashyg> no, ompaul i can't get online
[09:26] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; i have to go, battery is running low
[09:26] <christianmortal> ok cheers buddy thanks for the help
[09:26] <anto9us> Stormx2, you need smbfs installed
[09:26] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; try the other card, and boot it up, if the light goes in you got something going...

[09:28] <ashyg> then it will open a prompt
[09:28] <ashyg> you might need to sudo cpan
[09:28] <ubuntutestrun> christianmortal ; by hte way, you are immortal, the soul lives on!
[09:28] <ashyg> i've never used cpan on ubuntu, only on suse
[09:28] <ashyg> so open cpan
[09:29] <ashyg> install XML::Simple
[09:29] <ashyg> quit

[09:30] <mrproper> How do I get lame in Breezy?
[09:30] <BrickMaker> CPAN build and cache directory? [/home/saif/.cpan]
[09:31] <BrickMaker> what path i should provide there?
[09:31] <arcade> Hm
[09:31] <ompaul> mrproper, you would need multiverse enabled
[09:31] <arcade> How do I loopback-mount a file?  It's encrypted with twofish256 - under SuSE, and contains an ext3 filesystem.  I need the syntax.
[09:31] <mrproper> ompaul, Okay thanks.
[09:32] <anto9us> Stormx2, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently?highlight=%28windows%29
[09:32] <BrickMaker> Knowerrors, i have v56 modem
[09:32] <arcade> Never done it manually, and I'm not able to mount it atm. :-/
[09:32] <mrproper> ompaul, I do have multiverse.

[09:32] <BrickMaker> Knowerrors, you can say its v92
[09:32] <pixelfairy> anyone else having really slow downloads from the us archives?
[09:32] <anto9us> Stormx2, I find the connect to server doesn't work well with samba shares
[09:32] <lol> hi
[09:32] <Scram> mrproper: then aptitude install lame should work
[09:32] <ompaul> mrproper, so install it - sudo apt-get install lame
[09:33] <mrproper> Package lame is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[09:33] <mrproper> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[09:33] <mrproper> is only available from another source
[09:33] <noaXess> does anybody know, when the firefox and thunderbird 1.5 package for ubuntu is abailable?
[09:33] <ompaul> mrproper, so install it - apt-cache search lame | less for more ideas
[09:33] <ompaul> mrproper, do this: apt-cache policy lame
[09:33] <BrickMaker> how can i install XML::Simple Perl Module
[09:33] <Knowerrors> BrickMaker: you get netwaiting working on it?
[09:34] <ompaul> mrproper, what result?
[09:34] <mrproper> lame:

[09:34] <BrickMaker> Knowerrors, netwaiting .. idk abt it..
[09:34] <shad0w1e> how do I add iptables rules to startup?
[09:34] <ompaul> mrproper, so you do not have multiverse
[09:34] <_jason> mrproper: don't paste and you need to enable multiverse

[09:35] <ompaul> mrproper, read the instructions from ubotu
[09:35] <homer> Hello

[09:35] <homer> I have a problem  using the Live CD
[09:35] <anto9us> shad0w1e, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IptablesHowTo
[09:35] <Pygi> coolboy:  halt or shutdown

[09:35] <homer> I inserted a flash drive in my computer
[09:36] <coolboy> thx
[09:36] <ompaul> shad0w1e, you don't need to unless you are running services that need filters on them
[09:36] <Knowerrors> BrickMaker: umm, modem on hold, you know if you have call waiting and youre online, you can take a phone call and put your net connection on the wait
[09:36] <homer> but it is mounted as read only
[09:36] <Stormx2> anto9us: OK >.< I guess I messed up
[09:36] <Stormx2> anto9us: It wasn't samba I was talking about, it was WebDAV
[09:36] <homer> it says I must be root to do have write access
[09:36] <BrickMaker> Knowerrors, i never try this on ubuntu..
[09:36] <mrproper> Thanks
[09:36] <homer> what is the root password for Ubuntu and how to I log in as root
[09:36] <_jason> ubotu: tell homer about root
[09:36] <ompaul> !tell homer about rootsudo
[09:36] <BrickMaker> _jason, check these.. and read the requirements http://tango-project.org/Installation
[09:37] <gustaf_> is there anyway to change the terminal font to something that isn't antialiased? like 7x14

[09:37] <zeb> i still need printer help
[09:37] <anto9us> Stormx2, webdav should work ok
[09:37] <zeb> seriously
[09:37] <_jason> BrickMaker: try what I told you
[09:37] <Stormx2> anto9us: yep. cept it keeps asking me for a password
[09:37] <BrickMaker> _jason,  Ok boss!
[09:37] <ompaul> homer, there can be root, but sudo command using your own "strong" password is the way it gets done in ubuntu read the web page ubotu told you about,
[09:37] <_jason> BrickMaker: I like tango :)
[09:38] <ubuntu_> for wich package should I post a bug for one that occurs in flight 3 in general (wrong keyboard when entering french as language)

[09:39] <Stormx2> anto9us: It opens up the window, but I'm faced with 3-4 "Authorization Required" dialog boxes
[09:39] <anto9us> Stormx2, trappist suggests the problem might be locales, is that right trappist?

[09:40] <homer> how do I log in as root on the live cd, specifically?
[09:40] <zeb> but its not working right
[09:40] <anto9us> Stormx2, yes sounds like it's cascading and asking for authenitication in each of the objects in the folder
[09:41] <progrock> !diskmounter
[09:41] <ubotu> I heard diskmounter is to automatically mount your ntfs, fat32 or hfs+ drives, download and read http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/files/diskmounter

[09:42] <gonzalocortes> somebody here speak spanish?
[09:42] <homer> I think I get it now
[09:42] <homer> the one about root
[09:42] <Stormx2> anto9us: Right. How should I fix that?
[09:43] <Stormx2> anto9us: I may have messed up the keyring, where are the settings for that?
[09:43] <anto9us> Stormx2, by authenticating properly on the folder you're connecting to
[09:43] <Stormx2> anto9us: In every single dialog box?
[09:43] <anto9us> Stormx2, no, just the top one
[09:43] <Stormx2> Then?
[09:44] <eZe> how can I configure the grub boot manager that windows is set as default? (and it should give me 10 seconds to choose)
[09:44] <gonzalocortes> is there somebody spanish speaking? or a room like this, available in spanish?
[09:44] <ubuntu_> what am I supposed to write as "distribution" on launchpad to get my bug for dapper?
[09:44] <Scram> eZe: you need to edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[09:44] <eZe> alright, thx
[09:44] <njadve> how do i get a wireless TopCom PCI-card to work with Ubuntu?
[09:45] <progrock> Anyone get wireless to work with ipw2200?
[09:45] <Scram> eZe: should be more-or-less selfdocumenting...
[09:45] <eZe> is everything in there self explanatory?
[09:45] <eZe> ok, thx :)
[09:45] <Stormx2> anto9us: What then? Cancel all the others?
[09:45] <Scram> eZe: yes... "default" and "timeout" are your whoes
[09:46] <Cyorxamp> Lo I installed gphx drivers and ran the config and set my refresh rate too high - now nothing displays - how can I get around it?
[09:46] <anto9us> Stormx2, wait please, I'm looking into it
[09:46] <Stormx2> anto9us: Thankyou so much :)
[09:46] <homer> nevermind guys
[09:46] <homer> I figured it out
[09:46] <LxSedan> hey can someone tell me where i can d/l the build essential package
[09:46] <homer> for anyone else
[09:47] <ubuntu_> gonzalocortes : there #ubuntumexico, but the best way to find something else is to search in the channel list something like #ubuntu-something
[09:47] <homer> gksudo nautilus <--- very useful command
[09:47] <homer> allows you to browse nautilus as root
[09:47] <Stormx2> homer: yep
[09:47] <homer> until you close the application
[09:47] <ubuntu_> LxSedan : sudo apt-get install build-essential?
[09:47] <ubuntu_> LxSedan : or do you want the source?
[09:47] <LxSedan> no internet hooked upto it
[09:47] <LxSedan> do i need it?
[09:48] <LxSedan> all i can do is d/l from this desktop, burn and bring it over
[09:48] <anto9us> Stormx2, have you test the shared folder from elsewhere?
[09:49] <tim_> how do i mount an mdf/mds file in linux?
[09:49] <ubuntu_> LxSedan : k... wait a minute I'll find it...
[09:49] <Stormx2> anto9us: What do you mean?
[09:49] <Stormx2> anto9us: In FF I can open it, but of course its read only and ugly
[09:49] <Stormx2> anto9us: In IE I can access it fine.
[09:49] <Cyorxamp> Hey, I installed gphx drivers and ran the config and set my refresh rate too high - now nothing displays - anyone know how can I get around it?
[09:49] <LxSedan> ubuntugeek: seemed ot type the command and its building or installing it
[09:49] <anto9us> Stormx2, ok, that's what I meant
[09:49] <katie_> ie's icky
[09:49] <ubuntu_> LxSedan : go search on http://packages.ubuntu.com for your distribution
[09:49] <Scram> LxSedan: apt-chache show build-essential will show you the path on your local mirror...
[09:49] <Knowerrors> Whats a good gui video editor and converter on linux?
[09:50] <Scram> Knowerrors: kino is not bad, but its DV oriented
[09:50] <ilba7r> Cyorxamp, is gphx drivers for the x display server
[09:50] <anto9us> Stormx2, it could be a password problem, sometimes you need to log out of gnome to get it to ask for a fresh one
[09:50] <BrickMaker> hey.. how can i install tango icon theme 0.6.6
[09:50] <fuzz_and_water> Knowerrors: cinelerra, kino, pitivi, LiVES
[09:50] <Stormx2> anto9us: Good idea.
[09:50] <anto9us> Stormx2, least that's the way I know to get it to
[09:51] <Stormx2> anto9us: But I think its saved in a "keyring" of sorts?
[09:51] <BrickMaker> how can i install tango icon theme 0.6.6 .......................
[09:51] <Stormx2> anto9us: I shall do that anyway ;-) Thanks
[09:51] <anto9us> Stormx2, yes
[09:51] <rod> BrickMaker, checked gnomelook.org?? :)
[09:51] <BrickMaker> rod, checked .. i'm trying ./configure and then make
[09:51] <BrickMaker> but its saying make not found
[09:51] <rod> are you using ubuntu?
[09:51] <tristanmike> BrickMaker, what is the link?
[09:51] <tim_> how do i mount an mdf/mds file in linux?
[09:52] <homer> what is the keyboard shortcut to open up help in gnome by default?
[09:52] <rod> BrickMaker, if you go to gnomelook.org you can download Tango - suite 1.1 1.1
[09:52] <BrickMaker> http://tango-project.org/Installation
[09:52] <jepler> Hi.  A friend and I are trying to build a modified kernel based on the ubuntu kernel, using build-kpkg.  The kernel .deb we get doesn't include firmware, such as ipw-2.3-boot.fw.  Can someone point me at the documentation I need to read to get the kernel I build to include this file?
[09:52] <Cyorxamp> ilba7r - yeah
[09:52] <fuzz_and_water> tim_, you have to convert it to iso first, using mdf2iso
[09:52] <tim_> ok thx
[09:52] <rod> BrickMaker, just download the package from the site i mentioned, open the theme window and use that install button to install the package
[09:52] <Knowerrors> fuzz_and_water: thx, do any of those covert from one video format to another (demuxing/recoding)
[09:52] <BrickMaker> rod, you know what i'm new i don't know how to install'em really problem for me anyway i have to do it
[09:52] <_dbglt> seems my net isn't as fixed as I thought it was
[09:53] <LxSedan> sorry guys i'm totally new to linux, how do i get out of the gnome gui to log in as root?
[09:53] <rod> BrickMaker, hey that's cool man :) I'm glad I can help
[09:53] <BrickMaker> ok be with me
[09:53] <fuzz_and_water> knowerrors, theyre mostly for editing & composition, but you could use cinelerra for that.. i would just use transcode or mencoder tho
[09:53] <rod> LxSedan, why do you want to log in as root?
[09:53] <tristanmike> BrickMaker, have installed build-essential?
[09:53] <ilba7r> Cyorxamp, if so just run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[09:53] <fuzz_and_water> lxsedan, if youre new to linux, you shouldnt be logging in as root ;)
[09:54] <BrickMaker> tristanmike, nope
[09:54] <ilba7r> and set the refresh rate and driver
[09:54] <LxSedan> trying to install ndiswrapper and this guide says i need to be root?
[09:54] <tristanmike> BrickMaker, try installing build-essential through synaptic, that should allow you to use ./configure
[09:54] <ilba7r> LxSedan, just use sudo infornt of each command that need root privlage
[09:54] <LxSedan> ah ok
[09:54] <Stormx2> Nope, logging out and in of gnome did not work.
[09:55] <ubuntu_> when I enter the french language, I get the wrong keyboard layout, I think it should ask wich kind of layout I want (there's mainly 2 in french). Wich package could that be to report the bug?
[09:55] <_dbglt> how do I remove a package which I have installed fine to stop it from harassing me?
[09:55] <_dbglt> just from apt
[09:55] <_dbglt>   eciadsl-usermode: Depends: pppoe but it is not going to be installed
[09:55] <tristanmike> BrickMaker, if you don't mind me asking, what is that you're trying to install?
[09:55] <_dbglt> whenever I try to install anything else, it gives me that line
[09:55] <BrickMaker> rod, i have to download manually all files
[09:55] <BrickMaker> tristanmike, i wanted to change my theme
[09:55] <FarrisG> Can anyone help me out with this error I'm getting from openssh? "error: openpty: No such file or directory"
[09:55] <_dbglt> the package installed and works fine (when overriden), but I want to get rid of that warning
[09:55] <BrickMaker> tristanmike, and as well as icons
[09:55] <Stormx2> gnome has crashed again... greaat
[09:55] <_dbglt> anyone?
[09:55] <Cyorxamp> ilba7r - how can I get into anything if it tries to startx everytime?
[09:55] <ubuntu_> _dbglt : sudo apt-get remove package
[09:56] <_dbglt> I don't want to remove it
[09:56] <ilba7r> Cyorxamp, are you on gnome now
[09:56] <_dbglt> I just want to get rid of the warning
[09:56] <tristanmike> BrickMaker, have you visited www.gnome-look.org?
[09:56] <_dbglt> whenever I try to install anything else...
[09:56] <ubuntu_> _dbglt : --reinstall then?
[09:56] <Cyorxamp> ilba7r - no
[09:56] <BrickMaker> i'm there
[09:56] <_dbglt> it is not a ubuntu deb
[09:56] <_dbglt> it is a debian one
[09:56] <_dbglt> and I had to override
[09:56] <_dbglt> the install works fine
[09:56] <ocoder> what is the difference between sleep and hibernate?
[09:56] <tristanmike> BrickMaker, or conversely www.kde-look.org
[09:56] <BrickMaker> rod, i'm downloading Tango Original
[09:56] <_dbglt> it is just giving me that annoying message now
[09:56] <anto9us> Stormx2, problem might be that it's https?
[09:56] <ocoder> 1.5
[09:56] <rod> BrickMaker, lol....  You really should check out gnomelook.org, click on the tango link and download the tar.gz package which contains all the icons
[09:56] <Cyorxamp> ilba7r - i'm not on anything, when ubuntu is started it auto starts x and monitor goes bad
[09:56] <BrickMaker> tristanmike, i'm have gnome not kde
[09:57] <Stormx2> anto9us: Well, I selected the "https" section on the connect to server
[09:57] <tristanmike> BrickMaker, well, incase you go kde, there it is
[09:57] <ubuntu_> _dbglt : ho ok, maybe you have two packages installed of the same one? what is that message anyway?
[09:57] <BrickMaker> rod, yeah dude i'v dowloaded now what :D
[09:57] <rod> BrickMaker, from here? :)  http://gnomelook.org/content/show.php?content=33959
[09:57] <Stormx2> gnome has crashed. Is there a quick way to get a terminal up?
[09:57] <ilba7r> Cyorxamp, ok you can either safe boot. boot into a terminal and run it. If you are already running a display manager press CTRL ALT F! will give you a console log in and set it up from there
[09:57] <BrickMaker> tristanmike, ok thx!
[09:57] <ocoder> what is the difference between sleep and hibernate?
[09:57] <_dbglt> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[09:57] <_dbglt>   eciadsl-usermode: Depends: pppoe but it is not going to be installed
[09:57] <rod> now you go to system, prefs, theme BrickMaker
[09:57] <tristanmike> BrickMaker, If you install that tango thingy, just make sure you have fufilled all the other requirements
[09:57] <katie_> you dont dream if you're hibernating
[09:57] <rod> BrickMaker, then click install team and browse to your just downloaded file :)
[09:57] <BrickMaker> rod, from here http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=31261
[09:58] <ilba7r> Cyorxamp, you can boot from the boot menu to a terminal
[09:58] <ocoder> so my computer dreams when it sleeps
[09:58] <Stormx2> terminal?
[09:58] <Stormx2> Anyone.....
[09:58] <anto9us> Stormx2, ctrl-alt-backspace will allow you to login again
[09:58] <Stormx2> anto9us: Yeah but i hate having to do that
[09:58] <ves> Is there anyway to send a current app running in a terminal to the background?
[09:58] <Cyorxamp> ilba7r - I am just gonna select safe mode on the grub menu
[09:58] <katie_> oh? do cmputers sleep?
[09:58] <Scram> ves: "^Z"
[09:58] <ilba7r> Cyorxamp, this is booting to a terminal
[09:58] <Cyorxamp> ilba7r - sorry I don't understand
[09:58] <AMDXP> anto9us: does ctrl-atl-backspace log you out of the other session?
[09:59] <rod> BrickMaker, that link is cool too :)
[09:59] <ves> Scram: you are a god, thank you :)
[09:59] <Cythril> Could someone direct me to a tutorial on un-raring a file in Linux?
[09:59] <Scram> ves: or, start with screen from the beginning
[09:59] <anto9us> AMD_XP, it kills x-server
[09:59] <katie_> sudo apt-get install rar
[09:59] <BrickMaker> rod, lol... i have download   (Icon set) ..
[09:59] <ilba7r> Cyorxamp, using the safe mode is right from grub
[09:59] <katie_> right click extract?
[09:59] <ves> Scram: yeah, I've ran an unscreened irssi by accident and the loose terminal was annoying me :)
[09:59] <katie_> well thats how i do ti
[09:59] <Cyorxamp> ilba7r - yeah I know 'Recovery Mode' is loaded
[09:59] <ocoder> in the shutdown dialog for dapper drake there are two options sleep and hibernate. what is the differenct
[09:59] <Scram> ves: ^Z only "suspends" the current application... using fg and bg you can put it into the foreground again... or let it run in the background
[09:59] <Cyorxamp> ilba7r - what is it I should type to get my old xorg.conf file back?
[10:00] <Cyorxamp> I will re-configure from scratch
[10:00] <anto9us> ocoder, sleep suspends to ram, hibernate suspends to disk
[10:00] <ilba7r> Cyorxamp, you will not get it back unless you backed it up
[10:00] <ubuntu_> ocoder : I also have this question... have you tried both?
[10:00] <Cyorxamp> ilba7r - :S
[10:00] <ilba7r> but look under the following dir you might find it
[10:00] <LxSedan> the guide says i need to run ln -s /usr/src/linux-<kernel-version> /lib/modules/VERSION/build do i just replace the version with 2.6.2-9-386?
[10:00] <ves> Scram: Ah I see what you mean, cheers again though it was exactly what I needed
[10:00] <ilba7r> /etc/X11
[10:00] <metalsand> How can I uninstall drivers?
[10:00] <ilba7r> Cyorxamp, the file is xorg.conf
[10:00] <metalsand> Ubuntu by defualt installed the wrong drivers for my wireless card
[10:01] <ocoder> thanks
[10:01] <Cyorxamp> ilba7r - yeah I can see xorg.conf
[10:01] <Stormx2> X Died and I rebooted.
[10:01] <fulldisclosure> Hi, I have a problem, I cant burn an audio-CD, serpentine crashes just at the first try of file converting.
[10:01] <Cyorxamp> :S
[10:02] <fulldisclosure> Is this a known problem?
[10:02] <ilba7r> Cyorxamp, if there is a back up or old one it will be xorg.conf~
[10:02] <pder> UBUNTU DO NOT SUPPORT COMPUTER SYSTEM
[10:02] <Cyorxamp> ilba7r, nope does not exist
[10:02] <sobersabre> hi are there any openoffice.org 2.0 packages for ubuntu ? ( not 1.9xxx )
[10:02] <sobersabre> pder wtf is your problem ?
[10:02] <sobersabre> hm.. sorry for the bad lang..
[10:02] <fulldisclosure> sobersabre: Yes, indeed is the stable version in stable Ubuntu.
[10:02] <ompaul> pder, (A) do not use capitals, (B) define your problem in detail
[10:02] <Cyorxamp> sobersabre: I thought 5.10 (breezy badger) came with OOo2 ?
[10:02] <ilba7r> Cyorxamp, so you have to reconfigure or edit it if you know how to do that. safest is the command i sent you
[10:02] <ompaul> fulldisclosure, not that I know about
[10:03] <Pygi> cyorxamp: well, u were wrong :)
[10:03] <Cyorxamp> ilba7r - can you repeat?
[10:03] <sobersabre> Cyorxamp it comes with a 1.9xxx build, not 2.0 or latest 2.0.1
[10:03] <ompaul> fulldisclosure, then I don't use serpentine
[10:03] <drbrown> does anyone know what could be causing my 2 printers to print one line on each page, and each line is just a string of characters????
[10:03] <fulldisclosure> ompaul: Can you take a look for serpentine and try to reproduce my error?
[10:03] <slavik> Cyorxamp: ooo2 beta
[10:03] <ubuntu_> sobersabre : well for breezy I think there's some in backport... but in dapper (release for april) there should be 2.0
[10:03] <slavik> which is 1.9
[10:03] <slavik> dapper will have 2.0.1
[10:03] <fulldisclosure> ompaul: Gnomebaker doesn't work too.
[10:03] <fulldisclosure> Seems to be a gstreamer issue.
[10:03] <Scram> drbrown: wrong driver... the characters are beginning with a % ?
[10:03] <slavik> check distrowatch.com :)
[10:04] <ilba7r> ompaul do you happen to know if making a presnetation using a laptop on which linux is installed need a program or tweek to hook it to a data projector?
[10:04] <drbrown> scram: i believe so
[10:04] <Cyorxamp> ilba7r - can you repeat?
[10:04] <LasseL> sobersabre, do you know if you can upgrade to OOo2 in breezy?
[10:04] <drbrown> scram: it also prints a lot of pages
[10:04] <sobersabre> I am happy for all of you.. ubuntu_ how can I check if there's a backport of ooo2.0 for breezy ?
[10:04] <slavik> ilba7r: you just need dual monitor support
[10:04] <Scram> drbrown: i'd guess you send raw postscript data to the printer... and the printer does print the code
[10:04] <slavik> sobersabre: in the repo?
[10:04] <drbrown> scram: let me check
[10:04] <ilba7r> slavik ok how to do that
[10:04] <sobersabre> LasseL I/you can simply use the vanilla version from the site. but I want dpkg/apt do some work
[10:05] <ilba7r> Cyorxamp, if so just run dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[10:05] <fulldisclosure> onverting files failed
[10:05] <fulldisclosure> Writing to disc didn't start so it is still usable.
[10:05] <slavik> ilba7r: can you get dual monitor working on your laptop?
[10:05] <ompaul> ilba7r, I have done it with ooo no extra messing
[10:05] <sobersabre> I am trying to use these in /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:05] <ubuntu_> sobersabre : google for backport, check if the ooo2.0 package is there, and if so, add backport to your sources.list for apt and install it :)
[10:05] <fulldisclosure> ompaul: This is the error I get in serpentine.
[10:05] <Scram> drbrown: its due to the fact unix only sends "new line" for a new line... not "new line" and "carriage return" - so the 2nd,3rd... lines are printed way out beyond the border
[10:05] <fulldisclosure> ompaul: Can you take a look please?
[10:05] <ilba7r> slavik i have a T42 running ati driver card is ati 9600 do not know how to set two monitors
[10:05] <tristanmike> sobersabre, there is a sources.list line
[10:06] <ilba7r> ompaul whait is ooo
[10:06] <slavik> ilba7r: I can't help you, sorry. You'll have to try searching google or the wiki ...
[10:06] <ilba7r> ompaul, do you mean you just hooked up the projector
[10:06] <ompaul> fulldisclosure, looking
[10:06] <sobersabre> I have: deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-backports main restricted universe multiverse
[10:06] <sobersabre> and

[10:06] <sobersabre> deb http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/ breezy-extras main restricted universe multiverse
[10:06] <drbrown> scram: how can I fix the issue????
[10:06] <sobersabre> are these wrong ?
[10:06] <ompaul> ilba7r, with several computers Open Office
[10:06] <tristanmike> sobersabre, there is a OO.org2 specific line
[10:07] <Stormx2> uhg
[10:07] <Stormx2> >_<
[10:07] <slavik> ilba7r: if you have dual monitor support, you shouldn't have any issues
[10:07] <ompaul> sobersabre, if your using breezy yes
[10:07] <sobersabre> hmm... tristanmike where "there"
[10:07] <Stormx2> Where are keyring settings stored anyone?
[10:07] <sobersabre> ?
[10:07] <tristanmike> sobersabre, check out http://www.ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic for the lines to add
[10:07] <sobersabre> thanks.
[10:07] <Scram> drbrown: select an different driver for the printer... so that it generates data thats in the printer's language...
[10:07] <tristanmike> sobersabre, be careful with them
[10:07] <ompaul> slavik, did not need any special tweeking on dell / ibm / $lappy
[10:07] <ilba7r> slavik will search do not know if i need to edit xorg.conf but thanks. The card support double monitor support
[10:08] <fulldisclosure> ompaul: Did you finish?
[10:08] <ompaul> fulldisclosure, no I have mine set to be real slow did 3 tracks I think it is almost done
[10:08] <ompaul> yeap it is done
[10:08] <ompaul> now I try to play
[10:08] <ilba7r> ompaul, thanks though am afraid all presentations are in pdf. Will back them up on windows in case linux fail me
[10:08] <slavik> ompaul: I don't have those, I am waiting for my HP though :)
[10:08] <fulldisclosure> ompaul: Breezy actualiced?
[10:09] <ompaul> ilba7r, then use evince
[10:09] <slavik> ilba7r: you'll prolly need to edit or configure xorg ...
[10:09] <ompaul> fulldisclosure, so it appears, if you wait a moment I will test it
[10:09] <fulldisclosure> ompaul: Is there any non default installed library needed?
[10:09] <ilba7r> thanx ompaul and slavik. I have adope installed so no problem there
[10:09] <ilba7r> ok take care guys and thanx
[10:09] <drbrown> scram: i have selected each driver available for my printer, and it still does the same thing
[10:09] <slavik> ilba7r: just use adobe ...
[10:10] <sobersabre> tristanmike what a great LINK!!! :)
[10:10] <fulldisclosure> ompaul: My error is just when I put a mp3 in project, and click "Write to disk", then I obtain the message, that cannot be converted
[10:10] <tristanmike> sobersabre, np
[10:10] <Scram> drbrown: you try the test page?
[10:10] <dbglt> what is the best way to go about enabling write-access on an NTFS partition under linux?
[10:10] <dbglt> (ubuntu, to be precise :) )
[10:10] <tristanmike> dbglt, you DON'T want to do that
[10:11] <AMDXP> dbglt: you can do that???
[10:11] <ompaul> fulldisclosure, well if it is already a file it should not need anything to make it available to the disk other than a start and end - did you choose the file type?
[10:11] <tristanmike> dbglt, let me restate that....you DON'T want to do that
[10:11] <drbrown> scram: yes
[10:11] <omerix> i couldn't open floppy
[10:11] <dbglt> errm
[10:11] <dbglt> I've heard write-enabled NTFS works fine
[10:11] <omerix> how can i open floppy?
[10:11] <dbglt> was I mistaken?
[10:11] <Toadstool> dbglt: you can try to compile your own kernel with NTFS write support but do it at your own risks
[10:11] <tristanmike> dbglt, yes, you can read ntfs, but can't write with out HUGE risk of corruption
[10:12] <dbglt> usermode NTFS is read-only?
[10:12] <tristanmike> dbglt, from Linux, yest
[10:12] <ompaul> dbglt, and when your ntfs dies will #windows help you restore it, or will they cast you into the darkenss?
[10:12] <fulldisclosure> ompaul: File type for what?
[10:12] <AMDXP> yeah i heard that writing NTFS was still experimental and possibly bad things could happen
[10:12] <Scram> dbglt: as far as i know there is a fuse ntfs driver that uses wine to import about all of NTFS from windows to do it exactly the way windows does... but thats in beta testing...
[10:12] <metalsand> Does anyone know if ethereal captures ALL wireless packets or just the network you're connected to?
[10:12] <tristanmike> lol @ ompaul
[10:12] <fulldisclosure> ompaul: I just selected some mp3, and click "Write disk", and then I got that error:
[10:12] <ompaul> fulldisclosure, for the type of file you try to burn
[10:12] <dbglt> Scram: ah, perhaps that was what I had heard about.
[10:12] <fulldisclosure> onverting files failed
[10:13] <fulldisclosure> Writing to disc didn't start so it is still usable.
[10:13] <slavik> metalsand: you want kismet for wardriving :)
[10:13] <fulldisclosure> ompaul: ?
[10:13] <tristanmike> dbglt, you can read/write to fat32
[10:13] <fulldisclosure> ompaul: That's absurd...
[10:13] <progrock> I'm running ubuntu in vware on windows... hwo do I go between ubuntu back to windows
[10:13] <metalsand> slavik: I can't get kismet to work :(
[10:13] <metalsand> slavik: But on the bright side, I got my resolution to work :D
[10:13] <slavik> metalsand: that sucks
[10:13] <pder> WHY ARE UBUNTU NOT SUPPORT NTFS WRITE IT ARE NOT WORK
[10:13] <dbglt> yes I know that, thanks
[10:13] <BrickMaker> rod, i have change the icon them to tango original but nothing happend... even the icons are now default
[10:13] <ompaul> fulldisclosure, it was an option I choose
[10:13] <slavik> afaik, ethereal only monitors the connection from your side
[10:13] <Scram> dbglt:  that project is called "captive" http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/
[10:14] <tristanmike> pder, weren't you kicked for being a nusence?
[10:14] <dbglt> I've been running linux for a while, just new to ubuntu... and to NTFS partitions
[10:14] <rod> BrickMaker, how did you change?
[10:14] <dbglt> Scram: I'll have a look over it, thanks
[10:14] <steven_> can somone help me, i have a folder with install-sh and configure, how do i install this program
[10:14] <BrickMaker> rod, i just install theme
[10:14] <drbrown> scram: is that the prob?????
[10:14] <pder> tristanmike NO
[10:14] <ompaul> pder, STOP USING CAPITALS - it is considered to be shouting, ask microsoft to put the spec in the public domain and maybe it can
[10:14] <tristanmike> pder, stop with the all caps please
[10:14] <rod> BrickMaker, how?
[10:14] <Scram> drbrown: i'd try the list of printer drivers of similar models...
[10:14] <Scram> drbrown: what model do you have?
[10:15] <metalsand> slavik: You have any knowledge about wireless PCMCIA cards?
[10:15] <rod> BrickMaker, Does Tango show up in the Icons list from that Theme window?
[10:15] <pder> tristanmike: GET AN IRC CLIENT THAT WILL CONVERT MY MESSAGES TO LOWER CASE
[10:15] <BrickMaker> rod, and then go to icons theme there i see Tango Original so i click on it and system loads but nothing happend..
[10:15] <Stormx2> pder: The fact is that microsoft made a poor file system. And writing too it is very very differcult and unstable
[10:15] <metalsand> I'm trying to install the linux-wlan-ng drivers over the default driver installation ubuntu gave
[10:15] <rod> BrickMaker, try to re-login perhaps
[10:15] <drbrown> scram: laserjet 4000
[10:15] <Stormx2> pder: No, just reach your pinky over to the caps lock
[10:15] <metalsand> Because Ubuntu by default installed the wrong drivers for my card
[10:15] <tristanmike> pder, or....stop using caps, it's a bannable offence, lol
[10:15] <drbrown> scram: and photosmart 7150
[10:15] <Scram> Stormx2,pder : and undocumented
[10:15] <BrickMaker> rod, re-login .. mean restart my system?
[10:15] <slavik> metalsand: not really
[10:15] <steven_> can somone help me, i have a folder with install-sh and configure, how do i install this program
[10:15] <rod> BrickMaker, log out and log in again : D
[10:16] <Stormx2> Scram: Hmm?
[10:16] <Scram> drbrown: i think theres a laserjet 4000 L , too - you havent selected that by mistake?
[10:16] <ompaul> fulldisclosure, I can't play it back but it did burn :-/
[10:16] <LxSedan> i'm getting a cant' find kernel source
[10:16] <Stormx2> Scram: Oh right ;-)
[10:16] <dbglt> Stormx2: I'd have assumed it was the lack of documentation, rather than the failings in the filesystem which have led to poor support... or else FAT systems would sitll not be supported!
[10:16] <dbglt> *still, too
[10:16] <fulldisclosure> ompaul: Thanks.
[10:16] <fissy> NTFS has lots of nice features
[10:17] <Scram> dbglt: well... its both ;) FAT isnt that hard to reverse-engineer... NTFS is, obviously
[10:17] <drbrown> scram: no I have not selected 4000 L
[10:17] <BrickMaker> i will do this later because if i do now so i will lose internet access i don't waste to many calls ... because i'm on dialup
[10:17] <celenk> How do I mount my Ubuntu hard drive in mepislivecd so it can view the files?  It auto-mounted my windows hard drive, and can view that fine, but the ubuntu one can't
[10:17] <BrickMaker> rod, anyway thx!
[10:17] <drbrown> scram: each page does not start w/ the same character either
[10:17] <steven_> can somone help me with this error, when trying to install a program? configure: error: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***
[10:17] <metalsand> test
[10:17] <fissy> celenk, do you know what device name your ubuntu install is on?
[10:18] <rod> BrickMaker, sry if i couldnt help more
[10:18] <BrickMaker> rod, lol
[10:18] <mwe> celenk: mkdir -p /mnt/?d?? && mount /dev/?d?? /mnt/?d??
[10:18] <tristanmike> steven_, looks like you need that library, search for it in synaptic and see if you can install
[10:18] <celenk> fissy, well it looks like it tried to automount it, /dev/hdd5
[10:18] <thefamousnomo> hello people!
[10:18] <MisterN> hi
[10:18] <fissy> celenk, do you know why it failed?
[10:19] <fissy> dmesg | grep hd
[10:19] <celenk> fissy, it says it can't determine the filesystem type, and none was specified
[10:19] <fissy> that's not good
[10:19] <thefamousnomo> can anyone shed any light...
[10:19] <steven_> tristanmike, i can't find glib
[10:19] <BrickMaker> rod, you having any gtk style theme?
[10:20] <Scram> drbrown: hmm... really troublsome - HP Laserjet 4000 ought to understand Postscript
[10:20] <thefamousnomo> running breezy on thinkpad 600, cpu usage seems to be constantly parked between 10-25%
[10:20] <fissy> celenk, did you load up mepis live because your ubuntu won't boot?
[10:20] <celenk> fissy, it did, however, mount /dev/hdd1 as ubuntu's /boot I believe, and I can look in that fine
[10:20] <thefamousnomo> nothing special on machine, basic install...
[10:20] <thefamousnomo> any ideas?
[10:20] <idefix> hey guys, I installed some programming with apt-get, sort of got it working but couldn't log in anymore with my root account, then I removed it with apt-get remove and still I cannot log in, what is going on here?
[10:20] <mwe> thefamousnomo: run top to see what's causing it
[10:20] <tristanmike> steven_, what are you trying to install?
[10:20] <idefix> mwe, who me?
[10:20] <celenk> fissy, well, I re-installed windows on my first hard drive, and I was looking to re-set up grub
[10:21] <steven_> tristanmike, a plugin for xmms, http://ducts.27b-6.de/cdcover/
[10:21] <idefix> no thefamousnomo..
[10:21] <celenk> fissy, because windows loads by default now
[10:21] <galgoz> I have a pentium 64bit system and was thinking of installing ubuntu 64bit.  are there any concerns I should have?
[10:22] <rod> BrickMaker, I like this a lot: http://gnomelook.org/content/show.php?content=22989
[10:22] <metalsand> what's the apt-get package name for java runtime environment with the plug-in for Firefox
[10:22] <BrickMaker> rod, ok let me check it ;)
[10:22] <nate__> hey
[10:22] <Scram> drbrown: sorry - no clue... perhaps you can change some setting on the printer itself
[10:22] <tristanmike> steven_, are you running Breezy?
[10:22] <metalhedd> is ubuntu's init system identical to debian?
[10:22] <nate__> i need a quick bit of help, is there a BASH command to see what hardware is currently in use?
[10:22] <steven_> tristanmike, yea
[10:22] <metalsand> what's the apt-get package name for java runtime environment with the plug-in for Firefox
[10:23] <metalhedd> I'm having trouble with some services not starting at boot and I'm not sure where to look.
[10:23] <metalhedd> the graphical clients are no help
[10:23] <MickMcMack> :x
[10:23] <timfrost> steven_, install libglib2.0-dev
[10:23] <MickMcMack> !jav
[10:23] <ubotu> I haven't a clue, MickMcMack
[10:23] <MickMcMack> !java
[10:23] <ubotu> To install Java/Sun Java see Java on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats and also see !javadebs
[10:23] <thefamousnomo> mwe: xorg seems to be draining cpu & memory resources!
[10:23] <galgoz> hello all
[10:23] <metalsand> !javadebs
[10:23] <tristanmike> steven_, right, my bad, you need the -dev version when compiling
[10:23] <thefamousnomo> is this down to gui?
[10:23] <drbrown> scram: the only thing that is strange, is that I get the same basic behavior from both hp printers
[10:23] <galgoz> anyone have experience with ubuntu 64bit?
[10:23] <BrickMaker> rod, yeah that one is kinda decent
[10:23] <|PecK|> hey, is it possible to dual boot 2 linux distros?
[10:23] <galgoz> I have a pentium 64bit system and was thinking of installing ubuntu 64bit.  are there any concerns I should have?
[10:24] <galgoz> peck: it sure is
[10:24] <steven_> tristanmike, i got it, it was in the repo's
[10:24] <Cyorxamp> Can ubuntu play mp3's out of the box?
[10:24] <BrickMaker> rod, i downloaded that but i don't know how to install the menu addon
[10:24] <drbrown> scram: it thank you for your help
[10:24] <MisterN> galgoz: i'm using it on a amd machine.
[10:24] <drbrown> scram: I thank you for your help
[10:24] <rod> BrickMaker, me neither :)
[10:24] <fissy> celenk, can you list all the disk devices on that system?
[10:24] <galgoz> misterN: are there any concerns I should have?
[10:25] <MisterN> galgoz: i'm having problems indeed.
[10:25] <celenk> fissy, ?
[10:25] <BrickMaker> rod, lol... i just wanted to give my desktop look like that theme
[10:25] <thefamousnomo> mwe: would a different gui make any odds to the running of the machine?
[10:25] <galgoz> mrN: hmmm, I was afraid of that after reading the forums
[10:25] <Cyorxamp> Can ubuntu play mp3's out of the box?
[10:25] <celenk> fissy, you mean my two hard drives?  /dev/hdc (windows) and /dev/hdd (ubuntu) ?
[10:25] <thefamousnomo> mwe: xubuntu?
[10:25] <galgoz> cyorxamp: I think so
[10:25] <nate__> Cyorxamp, nope
[10:25] <Scram> drbrown: no problem... - you could play with drivers (i once had the feeling you better close the dialog , reopen it and then print the testpage...)
[10:25] <BrickMaker> rod, because i don't like 2 task bar ... i want it like windows Xp has
[10:25] <gplgpl> my ubuntu dapper don't play midi file can you help me?
[10:25] <Cyorxamp> Thats it, I'm bloody reformatting
[10:25] <fissy> celenk, and their partitions
[10:25] <nate__> Cyorxamp, you need to get the gstreamer0.8-mad lib
[10:25] <|PecK|> galgoz: should I just mnt the second distro in a folder like /distro2 ? must I create it? does it have to be in a second partition?
[10:26] <Cyorxamp> this is just stupid
[10:26] <MisterN> galgoz: many things are not easily available (there is always the chroot option though), other than that many things are not really stable
[10:26] <timfrost> !mp3
[10:26] <ubotu> from memory, mp3 is a non-free format. To enable mp3 capability, read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[10:26] <galgoz> peck: pretty sure it has to be on a partition of its own, I would recommend a seperate hard disk
[10:26] <ompaul> fulldisclosure, it has worked for me
[10:26] <nate__> Cyorxamp, it's not that hard, just enable universe and multiverse repositories and look for gstreamer0.8-mad
[10:26] <Cyorxamp> they are already enabled
[10:26] <galgoz> mrN: ok, I will install the 32bit version
[10:26] <fissy> celenk,  ls /dev/{hd,sd}[a-d] [1-10]
[10:27] <ompaul> fulldisclosure, silly me was trying to open it as a filesystem - now all I burnt was ogg files - have no truck with those mp3 things
[10:27] <thefamousnomo> anyone have any ideas? xorg seems to be draining my resources... would a gui change help? xubuntu?
[10:27] <fulldisclosure> ompaul: but you burn as audio cd?
[10:27] <ompaul> fulldisclosure, yes and it plays in cd player
[10:27] <galgoz> ogg is good
[10:28] <BrickMaker> rod, you know how to change splash ?
[10:28] <ompaul> galgoz, :-)
[10:28] <AMDXP> thefamousnomo: it may
[10:28] <|PecK|> thx galgoz! by the way, can i easily resize an existing fs3 partition? or is fat32 easier to resize?
[10:28] <ompaul> thefamousnomo, what speed and class of processor have you go?
[10:29] <BradM> haha
[10:29] <BradM> my new ubuntu 5.10 dics just arrived
[10:29] <BradM> :D
[10:29] <celenk> fissy, I'm not sure what you're asking.  If I do ls /dev/hdd it lists /dev/hdd, if I do ls /dev/hdd1 it lists /dev/hdd1
[10:29] <ompaul> BradM, no #comedy is 41st channel on the left
[10:29] <thefamousnomo> ompaul: pentium 2, 266 i think, 333 at a push!
[10:29] <galgoz> peck: the partition tool in the installs usually do a good job, but you can use gparted to set your freespace ahead of time
[10:29] <Cyorxamp> nate__ - ok I installed it using synaptic but this 'Totem' thing still can't find a decoder for my mp3 file
[10:29] <BradM> ompaul, what?
[10:29] <ompaul> thefamousnomo, then do, >> sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop <<
[10:30] <Cyorxamp> nate__ - don't tell me I have to run some funky program in terminal to configure it as well :?
[10:30] <ompaul> BradM, you came into the channel with haha :-)
[10:30] <galgoz> i use xmms to play my mp3's
[10:30] <fissy> celenk, if you run that command, it should show you all the hard drive devices your system has attached including their partition structure
[10:30] <owner> download all the gstreamer plugins cyorxamp
[10:30] <metalsand> What is the command to search reposotries for files?
[10:30] <BradM> ompaul, and? is that a crime?
[10:30] <|PecK|> galgoz: thx m8
[10:30] <idefix> why do ubuntu programmers think in such a different way?
[10:30] <fissy> celenk, do you remember when you installed ubuntu if you let chose an option like LVM?
[10:30] <Cyorxamp> owner - I could only see one
[10:30] <metalsand> If I was using Seveas' repo to find a version of Java
[10:30] <DX> only english speakers
[10:30] <metalsand> What would I search for
[10:30] <ompaul> BradM, only if it is the day that you got your Ubuntu 5.10 cds :-)
[10:30] <galgoz> ubunty lets you choose LVM
[10:30] <BradM> :(
[10:30] <thefamousnomo> ompaul: ill give it a go m8!
[10:30] <owner> ubotu tell cyorxamp about restricted
[10:30] <thefamousnomo> one more before i go...
[10:30] <celenk> fissy, ah, here's the output/dev/hda1  /dev/hdc1  /dev/sda1  /dev/sdc1
[10:30] <celenk> /dev/hdb1  /dev/hdd1  /dev/sdb1  /dev/sdd1
[10:30] <idefix> are ubuntu programmers like Vegans? or more like mensans?
[10:31] <ompaul> BradM, come on man, your leg has been pulled
[10:31] <thefamousnomo> does anyone have any experience with thinkpad 600 sound?
[10:31] <BradM> yes
[10:31] <celenk> fissy, I'm not sure =\ I think I just did mostly default answers
[10:31] <BradM> i need surgery now :(
[10:31] <ompaul> haha
[10:31] <fissy> celenk, ok, i'm confused, apparently you have 8 hard drive/cdrom devices :s
[10:31] <idefix> is it that bad?
[10:31] <thefamousnomo> i have tried almost everything i can find in the wiki and forums have stopped answering http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=119865
[10:32] <BradM> :O
[10:32] <celenk> fissy, =\
[10:32] <galgoz> famousnomo: here is a good sound resoucrce http://ubuntuguide.org/#configuresoundproperly
[10:32] <galgoz> that whole guide is a good resource
[10:32] <ompaul> BradM, maybe change victims for "new linux users"
[10:33] <owner> !ubuntuguide
[10:33] <ubotu> ubuntuguide is, like, totally, out of date, reported to break a lot and generally a bad source for information. Use help.ubuntu.com or wiki.ubuntu.com instead
[10:33] <galgoz> the sound section worked good for me
[10:33] <galgoz> that part wasn't in the wiki.ubuntu.com that I could find
[10:33] <idefix> where is this xorg.conf file?
[10:33] <elvin> ok im pissed off
[10:33] <elvin> i installed ubuntu
[10:34] <elvin> but i dont know the root password
[10:34] <elvin> :-s
[10:34] <owner> lol
[10:34] <idefix> guess!
[10:34] <owner> !root
[10:34] <ubotu> By default, the root password is locked in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[10:34] <elvin> it didnt ask for it
[10:34] <galgoz> you don't need the root password
[10:34] <fissy> celenk, try "vgscan --mknodes"
[10:34] <elvin> i want to add a user

[10:34] <reon> Hi, anybody know if there is a problem with the backport repos ???
[10:34] <thefamousnomo> galgoz: the wiki has some good stuff as does the forums but nonw of it seems to work!
[10:34] <AMDXP> !freenx
[10:34] <ubotu> freenx is, like, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FreeNX
[10:34] <fissy> celenk, if you have partitioned your disk in a certain way, that might help find the partitions.
[10:34] <ompaul> elvin, use your password - this here is sudo country :)
[10:34] <fissy> celenk, after that command, try seeing what hard drive devices you have again
[10:34] <celenk> fissy, bash: vgscan: command not found
[10:34] <owner> ubotu tell elvin about root
[10:35] <galgoz> famousnomo: I had trouble with sound until I ran the sound configure steps on the ubunto guide and it worked after that
[10:35] <mircea_> hello
[10:35] <thefamousnomo> the thread is http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=119865, if anyone has the time to try to help me out would really appreciate it!
[10:35] <fissy> gah
[10:35] <ompaul> elvin, read the link from ubotu there a few moments again
[10:35] <elvin> yeah
[10:35] <omerix> how can i open floppy?
[10:35] <Cyorxamp> if I find wine on synaptic and install it, will exe's just work when I double click them?
[10:35] <mircea_> I am very new to ubunto
[10:35] <galgoz> famousnomo: other than that I have no idea
[10:35] <elvin> ok
[10:35] <mircea_> and new to linux
[10:35] <mircea_> I need help
[10:35] <owner> they do cyorxamp
[10:35] <fissy> celenk, when you installed ubuntu, did you choose all the default options?
[10:35] <mircea_> can you pls help me?
[10:35] <ompaul> !anyone
[10:35] <fissy> celenk, did you let it automatically partition the disk on it's own?
[10:35] <ubotu> probably 90% of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? <hint>
[10:35] <BradM> These Ubuntu 5.10 discs are so sexci.
[10:35] <thefamousnomo> ill go through the guide again galgoz, cheers!
[10:35] <ompaul> !ask
[10:35] <celenk> fissy, like I said, I *think* so.  Yes, it partitioned the disk on its own
[10:35] <yarko> Hi Ubuntoers... I'm trying to setup dapper on powerbook G4... I need DVI out working but all possible configurations using mergedFB stall the beast so nothing works (and no Xorg.log even generated) -- could any one kick me on how to debug it so we know some useful information why it brakes?
[10:35] <ompaul> !tell mircea_ about ask
[10:35] <mircea_> OK
[10:36] <Cyorxamp> bradm - look boring to me
[10:36] <melechorion> re

[10:36] <nate__> whats the command to get a list of your hardware?
[10:36] <fissy> ANYONE, does ubuntu use LVM2 if you let it automatically partition a disk by itself?
[10:36] <mircea_> How do I change the refresh rate as I can onbly chose 60 refresh and I need at least 85 refresh?
[10:36] <madewokherd> what package has the gtksourceview module for python?
[10:36] <elvin> ok
[10:36] <elvin> got it
[10:36] <ompaul> yarko, your talking about debugging a devel version - trust me on this - it was faulty yesterday and may be okay tomorrow
[10:36] <nate__> whats the command to get a list of your hardware?
[10:36] <idefix> so, timfrost, are there modes of screen resolution somehow? (assuming you know what's in the file you know the location of)
[10:36] <elvin> what if  i want to connect remotely to my box ?
[10:36] <elvin> using root
[10:36] <BradM> nate__, you already said that once.
[10:37] <BradM> Be more specific.
[10:37] <mircea_> My eyes hurt so much that I can't use ubuntu if I can't change refresh
[10:37] <Cyorxamp> BradM - why don't you go get 'sexci' with yourself
[10:37] <timfrost> !fixres
[10:37] <ubotu> Please read http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[10:37] <owner> tell elvin about ssh
[10:37] <BradM> tell Cyorxamp about stfu
[10:37] <elvin> oh
[10:37] <nate__> i want a list of all the working hardware on my computer, like what video card i have, what sound card i have, how much memory, etc
[10:37] <owner> ubotu tell elvin about ssh
[10:37] <elvin> by the way
[10:37] <elvin> ubuntu is kewl
[10:37] <idefix> timfrost!
[10:37] <BradM> nate__, like df -H?
[10:37] <idefix> arth thou there?
[10:37] <ompaul> elvin, ssh in and then sudo command - give password it lasts ~15 mins so sudo after use stops working after 15 mis
[10:38] <nate__> BradM, well, kinda.    But when i go to look if anything is there evrything is still there!
[10:38] <BradM> so obvious
[10:38] <elvin> kick ass :)
[10:39] <elvin> thanks guys
[10:39] <ompaul> nate__, and have a look at some values in /proc
[10:39] <BradM> look at /proc
[10:39] <ompaul> BradM, only after you lshw :)
[10:40] <metalhedd> GDM Wont start on boot even though the Services window and BUM say that it should be.
[10:40] <elvin> for yahoo msgr what version should i download ?
[10:40] <metalhedd> what's the deal/!

[10:40] <slavik> is there an easy way to switch grub and ubuntu?
[10:40] <Cyorxamp> wow my ubuntu is finally playing mp3's
[10:40] <nate__> ompaul, just figured that out, osrry i'm stupid
[10:40] <Cyorxamp> now if only I can get this display working :S
[10:40] <owner> which card do you have cyor?
[10:41] <Cyorxamp> it's a radeon 9500
[10:41] <Cyorxamp> I have installed the -doinky- drivers
[10:41] <owner> ubotu tell cyorxamp about ati
[10:41] <fissy> celenk, no-one else seems to want to help, and i don't know myself. As i see it, there are two options. One is that you can't access the partition because it is an LVM volume, one that your mepis disc doesn't know how to deal with. The other is that your filesystem is broken
[10:41] <ompaul> slavik, edit >> sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst << the number for default is for the menu heading that boots - you will figure it out
[10:41] <Cyorxamp> owner - will you WAIT!
[10:41] <melechorion> ist nu grad einer da, der weis, wie ich Ubuntu bebringe, dass er endlich gcc-3.4 nutzen  soll und nicht mehr 4 ,...

[10:41] <slavik> ompaul: I was thinking of istalling lilo instead of grub ...
[10:41] <nate__> ompaul, thanks man :)
[10:41] <owner> lol cyorxamp
[10:41] <AMDXP> Cyorxamp: you will get it
[10:41] <slavik> but was told not to, since it's not much use
[10:42] <kevman> Hey, I have an iMac with Breezy on it. But when I play an Audio CD, the sound cuts out about every 3 seconds. Any idea?
[10:42] <Cyorxamp> owner - I was saying I put on that -doinky- its a driver
[10:42] <ompaul> slavik, I would not, were you the person with every third reboot it fails?
[10:42] <celenk> fissy, should I try a ubuntu livecd?
[10:42] <slavik> kevman: might be something with buffering
[10:42] <owner> donky?
[10:42] <slavik> ompaul: no
[10:42] <owner> doinky?
[10:42] <Cyorxamp> owner - then I ran this thing to configure it but I selected a refresh too high I think so I just reset my xorg.conf to normal
[10:42] <kevman> Where can I set that?
[10:42] <slavik> ompaul: I was told that it's not worth the hassle
[10:42] <ompaul> slavik, I would not, << as I said :)
[10:42] <Cyorxamp> owner - don't wanna do it again till I know what I am doing
[10:42] <slavik> ompaul: I was only considering it
[10:43] <Cyorxamp> owner - is there another way of doing it without using all the text based questions?
[10:43] <owner> or use easyubuntu cyorxamp it can install ati drivers for you
[10:43] <nate__> ompaul, where would i find what RAM chips i have in the computer, i added a new one but i dunno if it worked
[10:43] <fissy> celenk, not sure. you could try reinstalling grub first if you like
[10:43] <owner> !easyubuntu
[10:43] <nate__> ompaul, i'm looking at /proc but i can't find that
[10:43] <owner> ubotu tell cyorxamp about easyubuntu
[10:43] <mircea_> Come on guys, help me with that refresh rate
[10:43] <UncleSkunk> Yarrrrr things keep crashing
[10:43] <ompaul> nate__, how much ram did it have before, if you know the answer to that then do this free and see what ram it is showing now
[10:43] <fissy> celenk, hopefully your mepis thing will allow you to do that, the information that grub needs to boot ubuntu should then be on that /boot partition
[10:43] <timfrost> !tell mircea -about fixres
[10:44] <nate__> ompaul, "then do this free" whats that mean?
[10:44] <B1zz> i want to empty trash can in my ubuntu but when i click to empty it acts like it does.  But when i go to look if anything is there evrything is still there! any ideas?
[10:44] <nate__> ubotu tell mircea about fixres
[10:44] <ompaul> nate__, >>>free<< is a command
[10:44] <nate__> oh
[10:44] <slavik> B1zz: that's weird ...
[10:44] <nate__> ompaul
[10:44] <B1zz> yeah tell me about it ;)
[10:44] <nate__> ompaul, thanks so much, you really were helpful
[10:44] <mircea_> !tell mircea_ -about fixres
[10:44] <slavik> free is a command that takes a pointer as an argument
[10:44] <celenk> fissy, sorry to ask, but how would I go about doing that?
[10:44] <nate__> ompaul, have a great day :)
[10:45] <slavik> free is part of the C standard library inside malloc.h
[10:45] <ompaul> nate__, hehe, I'll try is is 21:45 here
[10:45] <Cyorxamp> whenever I browse around a windows share it keeps wanting to log-onto everything - it's gay, how can I stop it :P
[10:45] <slavik> how do I get the trash thing onto a gDesklet? (Candybar to be specific)
[10:45] <Travis__> how do I fix this? ??????

[10:46] <owner> ubotu tell travis about synaptic
[10:46] <fissy> celenk, http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-x86.xml?part=1&chap=10
[10:46] <tatters> anyone use acidlab, mysql, snort, apache, php?
[10:46] <Olofsson> hello
[10:46] <owner> ubotu tell travis__ about synaptic
[10:46] <slavik> ompaul: you there?
[10:46] <fissy> celenk, scroll down to 'Code Listing 7'
[10:46] <timfrost> Travis, install libglib2.0-dev
[10:46] <ompaul> eZe, that would be >>default<<
[10:47] <Olofsson> i've got some trouble printing, don't know if it's ubuntu or windowa
[10:47] <fissy> celenk, that is the gist of what you want to do, but you have to change what they've said slightly to reflect your computer, which has its disks in odd places
[10:47] <ompaul> slavik, never ask a specific person :) ask the channel I might have been *cough* busy
[10:47] <BrickMaker> hi.. any body have install this theme http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=22989 ?
[10:47] <Travis__> owner this package isn't avaliable on apt
[10:47] <mwe> what package provides man pages for standard c functions?
[10:47] <yarko> ompaul: yeah - I upgraded it and the bahaviour changed a bit - now MergedFb enforces to don't use UseFBDev option... but it still stalls if I use one of the confugrations with MergedFB...
[10:47] <Travis__> I am compiling it and it gives me that error
[10:47] <owner> do search
[10:47] <owner> in synaptic
[10:47] <Travis__> for what?
[10:47] <timfrost> Travis__, you need the development package, libglib2.0-dev
[10:47] <Travis__> k
[10:48] <eZe> ompaul, just add "default" to the line?
[10:48] <elvin> ubotu tell me about ssh again
[10:48] <owner> there are so many libglib packages just do a search in synaptic
[10:48] <fissy> celenk, i think you'd need to  change the line root(hd0,0) to root(hd3,0) but I'm not totally sure
[10:48] <owner> for libglib
[10:48] <Travis__> timfrost thanks that worked
[10:48] <elvin> ubotu tell me about ssh
[10:48] <ompaul> yarko, you talkin' to me? <think bronks accent> no I idea what were or how
[10:48] <ompaul> eZe, change the number 0
[10:48] <fissy> celenk, is your ubuntu hard drive a secondary ide device on the same cable as your cd drive?
[10:48] <Cyorxamp> is easyubuntu something I should be going for - looks kind of... unfinished
[10:49] <Travis__> now I get this error: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lxml2
[10:49] <Travis__> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
[10:49] <Travis__> make[1] : *** [mpcstick]  Error 1
[10:49] <owner> use it cyoramp

[10:49] <owner> it worked fine for me

[10:49] <dave321> Hi all, I want to change the Refresh Rate of my desktop setup to at least 85 Hz.  The Gnome Screen Resolution widget dropdown only lists 65 Hz.  What do I need to do to change my Refresh Rate?
[10:49] <Olofsson> when i print to a windows shared printer the print seems to be sent from ubuntu to the windows shared printer but it just stoppes in the windows que
[10:49] <Cyorxamp> no one is saying anything in that channel ompaul
[10:49] <celenk> fissy, yes, I have the "master" to the windows hd, the "slave" to the ubuntu one
[10:49] <Cyorxamp> and the website isnt very clear - not for a novice
[10:49] <trappist> Travis__: looks like you need libxml2 and/or libxml2-dev
[10:49] <Travis__> ok
[10:49] <celenk> celenk, err, I mean, it's not connected to my cd drive thoguh
[10:49] <eZe> ompaul, number 0, you mean the first thing in the list?
[10:49] <ompaul> Cyorxamp, wait awhile and then you may get an answer ehre
[10:49] <yarko> ompaul: yeah - you just dropped a reply to my question (5 mins ago or so) -- nevermind though :-)
[10:50] <elvin> owner,  i did sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[10:50] <fissy> celenk, oh, in that case, do hd1,0 if your boot partition is the first partition on the ubuntu disk
[10:50] <elvin> but i still cant connect to my server
[10:50] <elvin> remotely
[10:50] <|37th|Trigger> Hello... I have an urgent problem if someone doesnt mind?
[10:50] <owner> shoot
[10:50] <ompaul> eZe, that number dictates the booting system from the debian automagic list
[10:50] <|37th|Trigger> urm
[10:50] <ompaul> yarko, ahh - let me look
[10:50] <slavik> |37th|Trigger: we don't mind if you tell us the problem right away, instead of introducing it
[10:50] <timfrost> Travis__, what are you compiling?  You need to install the -dev version of all the libraries  your program needs
[10:50] <|37th|Trigger> hehe ok
[10:50] <|37th|Trigger> sorry
[10:51] <celenk> fissy, okay, that says it was successful... now just try it out?
[10:51] <slavik> |37th|Trigger: don't ask to ask, just ask.
[10:51] <|37th|Trigger> i'm really new to linux, And ive forgotten my password :( does anyone know if i can bypass it some how to log in and change it?
[10:51] <e> boot in rescue mode trigger
[10:51] <fissy> celenk, before you do that, bear in mind that you could have just broken your ability to boot anything. do you know how to restore the windows bootloader if everything has gone wrong?
[10:51] <eZe> omaru, ah, i found it, it was at the top, I was looking at the bottom ;) so now I put the 0 away and put it where?
[10:51] <ompaul> yarko, now I am with you, playing cacth up :)
[10:51] <slavik> |37th|Trigger: you need to log in as root ... root is the administrative account
[10:51] <slavik> then change your username's password
[10:51] <jdbush4> if I have a cvs repository setup on my ubuntu installation, what do I need to do to access it from a windows machine?
[10:51] <|37th|Trigger> Ubuntu's root account is locked :P
[10:52] <chx> hi. while mplayer, beep-media-player and all nicely works , I can't get timidity to play music for me. It starts, loads the patches but that's it :(
[10:52] <celenk> fissy, I believe so, using the win cd in restore mode then doing FIXMBR
[10:52] <|37th|Trigger> hence sudo (im not that new)
[10:52] <slavik> that sucks ...
[10:52] <ompaul> |37th|Trigger, NO It is disabled
[10:52] <owner> ubotu tell |37th|Trigger about root
[10:52] <slavik> are you inside the system?
[10:52] <ompaul> !rootsudo
[10:52] <ubotu> rumour has it, rootsudo is explained at  http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo   also see /msg ubotu root
[10:52] <e> well boot up in rescue mode, it will take u straight into system as ROOT
[10:52] <Travis__> whats the command to rescan for hardware??
[10:52] <owner> ubotu tell |37th|Trigger about rootsudo
[10:52] <chx> !timidity
[10:52] <ubotu> chx: Bugger all, i dunno
[10:52] <BradM> HAHA
[10:52] <owner> ubotu tell |37th|Trigger about sudo
[10:52] <|37th|Trigger> i know about sudo :/
[10:52] <BradM> bugger all
[10:52] <eZe> ompaul, ah, i found it, it was at the top, I was looking at the bottom ;) so now I put the 0 away and put it where?
[10:52] <BradM> ubotu
[10:52] <celenk> fissy, and in the grub setup, it says "partition 4"(which I think is /dev/hdd5) is "type 0x8e" which I don't recognize
[10:52] <ompaul> owner, it is someone he is talkin to afik
[10:52] <Cyorxamp> should I get the latest 'devel' (whatever that is) version of easyubuntu?
[10:52] <|37th|Trigger> c.. Do you mind if i pm you can you can walk me through it? :(
[10:53] <|37th|Trigger> e**
[10:53] <celenk> fissy, just as something to point out? =\
[10:53] <dave321> Hi all, I want to change the Refresh Rate of my desktop setup to at least 85 Hz.  The Gnome Screen Resolution widget dropdown only lists 65 Hz.  What do I need to do to change my Refresh Rate?
[10:53] <metalsand> Can someone help me get my PCMCIA wireless device to work?
[10:53] <fissy> celenk, exactly :) One other thing, you'll want to add the windows loader to grubs config. If you can edit files in that /boot partition you can see, look at 'Code listing 4' for the stuff you need o add to grub's config to get it to boot windows
[10:53] <fissy> celenk, hang on, i'll just look it up
[10:53] <metalsand> The default install of Ubuntu installed the wrong drivers, now it comes up as a eth device.
[10:53] <ompaul> eZe, no you change it for 1 2 3 4 or something which ever you want to boot - it may not match 1 for 1 with the stuff below but you can figure it handy enough
[10:53] <owner> metal the kernel loads drivers
[10:54] <owner> ubotu tell metalsand about kernel
[10:54] <Cyorxamp> owner - should I get the latest 'devel' (whatever that is) version of easyubuntu?
[10:54] <owner> yes cyorxamp
[10:54] <owner> it is perfect
[10:54] <eZe> ompaul, oh, that was too easy :) does memtest also count as one?
[10:54] <Cyorxamp> ok well ill use the command on that page
[10:54] <|37th|Trigger> Breezy Badger is the newest one isnt it?
[10:54] <ompaul> |37th|Trigger, who are you talking to? and what are you trying to find out
[10:54] <preative> i have a question maybe someone in here can help me with...
[10:54] <AMDXP> yes Badger is the newest
[10:54] <owner> go ahead preative
[10:54] <slavik> ompaul: he forgot his user password
[10:54] <ompaul> eZe, it may do but you would regret that choice
[10:54] <selutha> i have a belkin kvm and the mouse goes nuts after switching. I have put in psmouse.proto=bare in menu.lst that is the right spot correct? or is there another fix?
[10:54] <QMario> Hello ompaul!!! :)
[10:54] <owner> ubotu tell |37th|Trigger about password
[10:54] <|37th|Trigger> i feel so stupid :(
[10:54] <slavik> preative: don't ask to ask, just ask
[10:55] <fissy> celenk, it's apparently the code for a Logical Volume Manager partition (LVM). That means out of those options i gave you earlier, it's more likely that your install is safe rather than corrupt :)
[10:55] <preative> i downloaded ubuntu live cd, and booted it, and when it came to the prompt i typed live, and it just restrts my comuter
[10:55] <ompaul> QMario, who told you we were here :)
[10:55] <eZe> ompaul, no, I don't want to boot memtest, just wanted to know if I have to count that one
[10:55] <celenk> fissy, ah, well hopefully it's still there =)
[10:55] <QMario> Ompaul, I found you!!! ;)
[10:55] <preative> since i have a compact precario, with winxp pre installed can i still use live cd?
[10:55] <ompaul> eZe, y9ou can end up not booting if you get it wrong but then you just choose from the menu
[10:55] <slavik> preative: yes, live cd doesn't really need any hd space ...
[10:56] <eZe> alright, thanks, i'll try it
[10:56] <celenk> fissy, thank you for all of your help, you've been very... well, helpful. =)  If it doesn't work, I'll try coming back and asking around
[10:56] <ompaul> eZe, the answer is it is one
[10:56] <preative> how come it just restarts after i type live, it goes back to compaq screen and then to the ubunto prompt
[10:56] <ompaul> |37th|Trigger, what did you do? sorry not following this at all
[10:56] <fissy> celenk, sorry i was slow :P hard day at work today. good luck
[10:56] <tatters> is there a front end for kismet?
[10:56] <celenk> fissy, np =) and thanks again

[10:59] <micsmith> I greatly appreciate that ompaul.  Is that a permanent  alias?
[10:59] <ompaul> preative, it is not a problem - the bios is talking to the box after it figures out that it is going to boot the o/s
[10:59] <preative> so how do i get it to skip the reboot and load ubuntu
[10:59] <ompaul> micsmith, no idea >> man nameif << I presume it would persist
