[08:40] <ingsoc> Try this again. I have no sound.... Ubuntu detects that I have a soudn card but wont list it as installed. I belive that the ALSA drivers are up-to-date and installed correctly. When I try to open mixer(gstreamr) tells me I dont have right plugins/ sound card not configured. alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[08:40] <knut_> ikonia, where do i find the fstab file?
[08:40] <ikonia> knut_: /etc
[08:41] <indian_munnda> digitalfallacy: why u wanna know that
[08:41] <knut_> ikonia : thx
[08:41] <ikonia> indian_munnda: no idea, it depends
[08:41] <indian_munnda> digitalfallacy: its not a ordinary chatr channel
[08:41] <unitedpotsmokers> thanks drog , but when i right click in wine section, nothing happen...
[08:41] <ziroday> unitedpotsmokers: you can go to System > Preferences > Main Menu to edit the menu

[08:42] <Greger> Hi, I got a new computer yesterday (new for me)
[08:42] <jp91> sorsis: it seems like the refresh rate is wrong but it only gives me one option and it says monitor unknown
[08:42] <sorsis> jp91: your problem seems quite surreal since afaik old screens should get blurry from the sides and be quite sharp from the midle.
[08:42] <ziroday> indian_munnda: the time it takes depends on variety of factors and is nearly impossible to calculate, your question will not be answered
[08:42] <Greger> But it's a graphic-card in the computer
[08:42] <Greger> does it work with linux?
[08:42] <ziroday> Greger: what model is it?
[08:43] <sorsis> Greger: you mean integrated GPU?
[08:43] <ikonia> indian_munnda: don't use caps lock, we don't need to see captial letters to read
[08:43] <knut_> ikonia: can u assist me a lil because im trying to edit the fstab by gedit....
[08:43] <ikonia> knut_: what do you want to do ?
[08:43] <indian_munnda> ikonia: it stopped and said that there is some error
[08:43] <jp91> sorsis i don't think the driver ubuntu is using for this computer is the right one
[08:43] <Greger> ziroday, I dont know. It's win xp on
[08:43] <ikonia> indian_munnda: ok, so we need to know the error
[08:43] <knut_> ikonia: i want to add my ntfs drives to autmatically mounted
[08:43] <ikonia> knut_: ok, that should be quite straight forward
[08:44] <unitedpotsmokers> thanks ziroday  it is work..!
[08:44] <ziroday> Greger: well we need to know what type of graphics card it is to check :), you can try out the livecd and see if it has any issues
[08:44] <Greger> Zambezi: dxdiag says: Intel(R) 82815 Graphics Controller
[08:44] <simple> when a programme  sleeped how can i week it up?
[08:44] <simple> now the linuxqq is oftern sleeping ,
[08:44] <simple> how can i week it up?
[08:44] <jp91> sorsis: i had this same problem on a newer machine that had an nvidia card and the screen was blurry until i installed the nvidia drivers
[08:44] <ikonia> knut_: you need to copy the line for your / file system, change the uuid to the id of your ntfs disk, and change the file system dtiver from ext3 to ntfs-3g
[08:44] <ziroday> Greger: that card will work great in linux
[08:44] <Greger> zaggynl: Main driver i81xdnt5.dll
[08:44] <digitalfallacy> indian_munnda : you  new here ??
[08:44] <ikonia> simple: linuxqq i for achlinux
[08:44] <knut_> ikonia: puh.... :) sounds like hard work
[08:44] <ikonia> knut_: 30 seconds work
[08:44] <knut_> ikonia: for me
[08:44] <jim_p> bonjour!
[08:45] <knut_> :)
[08:45] <Greger> Zambezi: Okay, it didn't look like that when i tried to boot ubuntu live.
[08:45] <ingsoc>   /sigh I sopose its off to another 14 horus of no sound work for me XD
[08:45] <wartalke1> networkmanager do not show the wireless, i have edited the /etc/network/interface?
[08:45] <vertisvas> hmm I did a search in synaptic and it looks like I forgot to remove a component of each kernel, whoops, fixed
[08:45] <ziroday> Greger: what issues did you get, note my nick is ziroday :)
[08:45] <knut_> ikonia: you suggest doing it in terminal?
[08:45] <ikonia> knut_: any text editor
[08:45] <knut_> ikonia: because i need to find out the ids?
[08:45] <Mez> wartalke1: generally, you shouldnt need to with NM - does ifconfig / iwconfig show your wireless interface?
[08:46] <Greger> ziroday: sorry, wrong tab..
[08:46] <gandalfcome> I installed new open office 3 on my gfs laptop but it seems to be installed in /opt/openoffice3/.... and not accesible via the menu. my gf is complaining, which I can understand. Why is openoffice 3 not inthe repos and if I install it is not in the menus.
[08:46] <simple> when a program sleeping how can I wake it up?
[08:46] <ikonia> simple: linuxqq is for achlinux
[08:46] <indian_munnda> ikonia: it says an error occured while applying operation,see details  for more information
[08:46] <ziroday> Greger: no problem, the card should work fine under linux but you said you had some issues with it in the livecd, what were they?
[08:46] <ikonia> indian_munnda: need more information
[08:46] <Mez> gandalfcome: It's not in the archives because 1) It's new 2) we're in freeze.
[08:47] <simple> linuxqq  is for achlinux ?
[08:47] <simple> I don't understand
[08:47] <ikonia> simple: do you mean the package builder ?
[08:47] <ziroday> ikonia: nope, they have ubuntu packages http://im.qq.com/qq/linux/download.shtml
[08:47] <Greger> ziroday: First of all I had to little memory but the screen resolution must have been very low
[08:47] <Greger> can be that
[08:47] <ziroday> simple: please see http://im.qq.com/qq/linux/help.shtml to get help from the linuxqq developers
[08:47] <ikonia> ziroday: ithis is what I'm trying to understand what he wants
[08:47] <Mez> !info linuxqq
[08:47] <Mez> !info linuxqq intrepid
[08:48] <simple> o,I 'll see
[08:48] <a1len> Anyone know where any good newbie tutorials are for booting both ubuntu and vista?
[08:48] <ziroday> ikonia: unfortunatly the site is all in chinese and my chinese is extremely rudimentary
[08:48] <ikonia> !dualboot > a1len
[08:48] <Mez> !dualboot | alle
[08:48] <newlife> Is there a good client use with LastFM ?
[08:48] <wartalke1> Mez:the wireless work, but the networkmanager does not show the wireless, and i have to use manual configuration to connect, and after that, the /etc/network/interface has changed.
[08:48] <gandalfcome> Mez: It's now a week old, but debs have existed for very long time (of course only beta or rc but you could see whats it is doing from there). what do you mean by freeze?
[08:48] <ziroday> Greger: well please try again and feel free to ask again here
[08:48] <ikonia> newlife: the last fm client works
[08:48] <Mez> newlife: amarok has good support for it.
[08:48] <ziroday> newlife: you can use banshee
[08:49] <knut_> where can i get a complete overview of my partition system? IDs and so on
[08:49] <Mez> gandalfcome: we tend not to package RC stuff, and debs from upstream dont get into ubuntu, ubuntu/debian have to package it ourselves
[08:49] <sorsis> !intrepid > sorsis
[08:49] <newlife> ikonia: You mean the one from LastFM website?
[08:49] <a1len> thanks >ikonia
[08:49] <rdw200169> newlife: foobar2000!!!

[08:50] <jp91> aren't I supposed to be able to change resolution settings using sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[08:50] <indian_munnda> !pastebin
[08:50] <digitalfallacy> My video is not getting shown with proper colours .... What can be the problem ???
[08:50] <newlife> ikonia: Hadn't tried it yet - will give it a whirl - also have Banshee installed on here as well.
[08:50] <simple> I just see the help
[08:50] <ikonia> simple: read the help
[08:50] <reeeh2000> !ubottu
[08:51] <simple> but it din't mention the bug
[08:51] <ikonia> simple: linuxqq is nothing to do with ubuntu - contact the people who make it
[08:51] <ikonia> simple: ubuntu doesn't make it / support it
[08:51] <newlife> rdw200169: foobar2000 - Is this a media player ? Haven't heard of this...
[08:51] <ziroday> simple: that program is (from what I can tell) proprietary, you need to get support from them
[08:51] <indian_munnda> ikonia: see this is the error report http://paste.ubuntu.com/59608/
[08:52] <ziroday> newlife: you can get the lastfm client by doing sudo apt-get install lastfm
[08:52] <ikonia> indian_munnda: you need to boot into windows and do a chkdisk on the windows partition first
[08:52] <Mez> newlife: have you tried amarok?
[08:52] <newlife> ziroday: Ahh - I can do this - easy stuff - Thanks :o)
[08:52] <indian_munnda> ikonia: then will it be partitioned
[08:53] <ikonia> indian_munnda: you can try to repartition it once you've chkdisk'd it
[08:53] <indian_munnda> ok
[08:53] <indian_munnda> going to do it now
[08:53] <newlife> Mez: Running Gnome in Hardy - Tried it before but had allot issues with it - Better for KDE I believe. Thanks
[08:54] <reeeh2000> hey, i've been losing my feed when playing flash movies recently, any ideas?
[08:54] <Mez> newlife: it works well inb Gnome too... I'm (currently, due to dislike of KDE4) running gnome myself... no issues at all
[08:54] <gandalfcome> Mez: to compete with windows. these big opensource packages should be added into ubuntu a few days later, even if they are upstream. My GF says, on windows I could just download and install the new version and, its hard to compete with that :D. Isn't it possible to make a temporary solution until the new version comes out?
[08:55] <ikonia> gandalfcome: don't talk nonsense
[08:55] <ziroday> reeeh2000: what do you mean by feed?
[08:55] <cjs> Sheesh; Ubuntu sure stores a lot of crap in one's home dir. I'm going to have to stop backingn it up.
[08:55] <gandalfcome> ikonia: what?
[08:55] <rdw200169> that's right, folks, foobar2000 works in ubuntu
[08:55] <reeeh2000> ziroday, the download stream
[08:55] <ikonia> cjs: such as ?
[08:56] <aualin> :)
[08:56] <rdw200169> and it smacks the snot out of amarok, exaile, xmms, etc...
[08:56] <ziroday> reeeh2000: that is most probably an issue with either your internet connection or the server on the other end
[08:56] <Mez> gandalfcome: create a menu link for what you've installed?
[08:56] <reeeh2000> ziroday: i still have internet, thr stream just stops randomly
[08:56] <reeeh2000> yeah
[08:56] <ziroday> !offtopic | rdw200169
[08:56] <ziroday> reeeh2000: you mean the video is still loading?
[08:56] <ingsoc> Try this again. I have no sound.... Ubuntu detects that I have a soudn card but wont list it as installed. I belive that the ALSA drivers are up-to-date and installed correctly. When I try to open mixer(gstreamr) tells me I dont have right plugins/ sound card not configured. alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such file or directory
[08:56] <reeeh2000> ziroday: no, it just stops
[08:57] <ziroday> reeeh2000: and refuses to resume?
[08:57] <reeeh2000> ziroday: but everything else still goes
[08:57] <newlife> Mez: Not sure - but tried Amarok - and had problems - Really do like it - Used to use it quite a bit when I was running a different distro. Pretty well settled in on Hardy.
[08:57] <reeeh2000> ziroday: yeah, i have to refresh to restart
[08:57] <ziroday> reeeh2000: which video are you trying to watch? Also what version of flash do you have?
[08:57] <Mez> newlife: what kind of problems?
[08:57] <rdw200169> ziroday: foobar2000 is a music player
[08:57] <cjs> Hm. Firefox cache. Firefox urlclassifier3.sqlite. Etc. Etc.
[08:58] <ikonia> cjs: so thats not ubuntu - thats filefox
[08:58] <reeeh2000> ziroday: any flash video on the web does it, including sites like youtube and adultswim
[08:58] <cjs> My home dir, which has about 15 MB of "my stuff" in it (including a lot of configuration I keep in subversion) is 165 MB.
[08:58] <rdw200169> ziroday; i was referring to newlife 's convo
[08:58] <Mez> ikonia: s/l/r/
[08:58] <ziroday> reeeh2000: have you recently updated your flash version?
[08:58] <reeeh2000> ziroday: i think i have the non-free fl;ash
[08:58] <cjs> ikonia, you can say that about anything: "It's not ubuntu; it's gnome." or whatever.
[08:59] <reeeh2000> ziroday: unless it was a ubuntu update, no
[08:59] <cjs> The point is, it seems that in the general case, when I use Ubuntu, I can expect to have a lot of stuff that one doesn't really want to back up in my home dir.
[08:59] <ikonia> cjs: firefox would store it's information such as cache in your home directory on linux/windows/mac, so it's nothing to do with ubuntu
[08:59] <Mez> cjs: just dont backup dotfiles/folders
[09:00] <cjs> Formally, I always just backed up the whole thing daily. Now, I think I probably don't want to do that.
[09:00] <Mez> Where would you think user settings should be stored
[09:00] <Mez> cjs: and backing up config is VERY useful
[09:01] <gandalfcome> Mez: thats what I'm going to do, but this only works if people know that it installs in /opt/.... and that it doesnt just create links. I'm suggesting making it easier for newbies to get new opensource software packages like openoffice. I guess that is one of the widest used opensource packages. well anyway, not having to have a virus scanner and a quick os will hopefully convince her to stay on ubuntu :D
[09:01] <cjs> Mez, indeed. Keeping it in revision control is even more useful.
[09:01] <ikonia> !offtopic | gandalfcome
[09:01] <newlife> Mez: Might try it again - I can't recall issues I had as of now - Maybe was missing some dependencies - not sure - might reinstall again - this is a new install of Hardy - I blew up my last Hardy I was using since it came out with the final version. Had allot junk installed - this is going to be a simpler install this time, if know what I mean....
[09:01] <gandalfcome> ikonia: its not offtopic
[09:01] <z0r> anyone here tried to setup mutt with gmail?
[09:01] <cjs> And actually, a backup containing all one's config, and cache files, and all sorts of other random junk is less useful; it makes things harder to sort out.
[09:01] <ikonia> gandalfcome: it is
[09:02] <Mez> gandalfcome: yeah, that's the fault of the OOo packagers though. This is why it takes time for ubuntu - quality control. We only opackage stable stuff
[09:02] <gandalfcome> ikonia: no.  and i'm not talking to you but to mez.
[09:02] <ikonia> gandalfcome: your talking to the channel about it - it's offtopic
[09:03] <cjs> Anyway, everybody's real quiet over on the firefox channel; does anybody here have any thoughts on how I can get my firefox bookmarks into revision control? I used to just keep a cleaned-up version of bookmarks.html in subversion.
[09:03] <cjs> Well, and other parts of firefox config, too, ideally.
[09:03] <Oric> any vim plugin for 'html"?
[09:03] <Mez> cjs: FF doesnt use a .html file anymore. It uses sqlite
[09:03] <cjs> Right.
[09:04] <cjs> Hm. Maybe I can dump that db, filter out the history, and keep only the bookmarks?
[09:04] <gandalfcome> Mez: I didnt mean including betas or rcs, im talking about the final release (the 13th of oct one). So if OOo would make a ubuntu package you would include it or not?
[09:05] <gandalfcome> Mez: Or is it olicy to compile it from source?
[09:05] <velko> z0r, what do you mean by that? mutt does not handle receiving/sending of mail directly. it's just a mail reader/composer/organizer
[09:05] <newlife> ziroday: Got the LastFM aptget - looks pretty good - thanks for tip.....
[09:05] <ikonia> gandalfcome: ubuntu developers will package the software they believe it stable for you
[09:06] <Mez> gandalfcome: It's policy for it to be compiled from source on our buildds... so a debian packager or an ubuntu packager has to make a package, ubuntu specific patches have to be applied, etc etc. PLUS, intrepid is near release. We froze a month ago. Please, feel free to go consult the developer documentation
[09:06] <ziroday> newlife: have fun :)
[09:06] <Mez> actually, probably more than a month ago
[09:07] <gandalfcome> Mez: will openoffice 3 come on hardy? after intrepids release?
[09:07] <jp91> could someone help me fix my blurry resolution problem
[09:07] <newlife> ziroday: Yup - thats what ubuntu is all about - lots of new adventures - computing is fun again.
[09:07] <Mez> gandalfcome: hardy is before intrepid. Only security updates are applied to older versions of ubuntu
[09:08] <Mez> gandalfcome: we actually froze back in june...
[09:08] <sorsis> gandalfcome: prove security problems in hardys open office and you might get open office 3 to it
[09:08] <gandalfcome> sorsis: I guess thats a way :D
[09:09] <Mez> gandalfcome: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases <-- please read, this conversation is getting beyond the scope of this channel.
[09:09] <Greger> ziroday, I used google and found linux drivers RPM :o
[09:09] <Greger> For my gfx
[09:10] <simple> hi
[09:10] <jp91> my screen is only blurry running ubuntu from the hdd, not from the live cd
[09:10] <ziroday> Greger: drivers for your card are already packaged and should be automatically installed for you card, I strongly discourage you from downloading and using random drivers
[09:11] <jp91> my screen is only clear in 800 x 600 resolution, but my native resolution is 1600 x 1200
[09:11] <sorsis> jp91: read /etc/xorg.conf to compare display settings and find the difference.
[09:11] <sorsis> jp91: are you sure that you sreen is fine with those resolutions in windows?
[09:11] <gandalfcome> Mez: This suggestion adding OO3 as soon as it comes out (creating an exception). wheres the best place to discuss this? Is there a suggestion box ;-)
[09:11] <wartalker> am i online
[09:12] <jp91> sorsis yes, and this monitor is clear hooked up to my laptop also
[09:12] <ziroday> gandalfcome: you can vote for your idea on ubuntu brainstorm at brainstorm.ubuntu.com
[09:12] <ziroday> wartalker: no
[09:12] <gTea> Are minor spelling corrections welcomed in the documentation? If so, does one report them here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu-doc/+bugs ? (excuse duplicate question from #ubuntu-doc)
[09:12] <Greger> ziroday: but isn't that a 3d card?
[09:12] <a1len> Once you dual-boot ubuntu and vista, do you have to reinstall programs like java, firefox and python onto ubuntu. or is there a way to transfer them?
[09:12] <ziroday> Greger: yes, and the drivers are installed automatically for it
[09:12] <Greger> in ubuntu?
[09:12] <wgrant> gTea: We're unfortunately past string freeze for Intrepid, but please file it so it can be fixed for Jaunty.
[09:12] <ziroday> a1len: you have to reinstall them
[09:13] <Mez> gandalfcome: read what the exceptions are generally for - please, I'm not here to do your research for you, your answer has been given.
[09:13] <a1len> siro: thanks
[09:13] <Virus> hi all, what programm is best, pidgin or xchat?
[09:13] <medwedkko> ааа

[09:13] <medwedkko> врот мне ноги)))
[09:13] <Virus> ok
[09:13] <sorsis> jp91: i think that you display device has to be tweaked to remember some sreen sharpnes settings for your wanted resolution, refresrate and bitrate setting.
[09:13] <ziroday> Greger: yes in ubuntu the graphic drivers for your card are automatically installed
[09:14] <redDEAD> man whats with the busybox error i get when trying to install ubuntu 8.10?
[09:14] <ziroday> !ru | medwedkko
[09:14] <ziroday> redDEAD: whats the error?
[09:14] <Mez> gandalfcome: and the final freeze was 3 days ago. It's bugfixes and ONLY bugfixes now
[09:14] <wgrant> Very minimal bugfixes, at that.
[09:15] <gandalfcome> Mez: okay
[09:15] <alanbshepard77> I just bought a new high precision 4 way scroll mouse and I can't get all the features to work with Ubuntu. Is there any way I can get ubuntu to scroll sideways and read the extra buttons on the mouse?

[09:17] <redDEAD> alanbshepard77, you want side scrolling in firefox right?
[09:18] <redDEAD> ziroday, will do!
[09:18] <ingsoc> Got all the packages installed XD some one telling me they took it out of ubuntu "alsaconfig"
[09:18] <alanbshepard77> redDEAD: Yea for the most part. I like to use the feature at other times though.
[09:18] <hharvey> i have a problem that i can't watch certain videos online
[09:18] <Flynsarmy> How do i find out which program is stopping my usb drive from being unmounted?
[09:18] <redDEAD> alanbshepard77, you have to turn in on in preferences
[09:18] <Mez> ingsoc: what are you trying to run - alsaconfig isnt a program AFAIK
[09:18] <ziroday> hharvey: example of one of those videos?
[09:19] <ingsoc> Tring to run any mixer.
[09:19] <wgrant> ingsoc: alsamixer

[09:20] <langleyo> ubuntu HH networking broken...after a purged fresh install of samba...sudo nautilus then share folder, i get this: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Logon failure. any clues please?
[09:20] <tzd> hey guys and girls! A friend of mine just installed ubuntu and he's wondering whether it's possible to change "locale settings" in a gui instead of changing directly in cfg files? Also, does ubuntu 8.04 comes with a default irc client please?
[09:20] <redDEAD> alanbshepard77, scroll sideway is usually program specific
[09:20] <hharvey> they are mpg files
[09:20] <hharvey> ziroday: ^
[09:20] <ziroday> tzd: the default irc client is pidgin
[09:20] <jp91> anyone? doesn't (sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg) usually have options to configure the video resolution, etc.
[09:20] <ikonia> jp91: no
[09:21] <ikonia> jp91: it's dynamic now
[09:21] <ziroday> tzd: you can change locale in System > Administration > Language
[09:21] <ziroday> hharvey: okay, have you installed the .mpg codec?
[09:21] <tab_shift> jp91: xrandr is the prefererd way now
[09:21] <hharvey> ziroday: I dont think so, I never needed a codec before
[09:21] <wgrant> jp91: Does System->Preferences->Screen Resolution not give the right options?
[09:22] <tzd> ziroday: i see... any plans on implementing a dedicated irc client?
[09:22] <ziroday> tzd: no
[09:22] <jp91> wgrant: everything is blurry unless i have it on 800 x 600
[09:22] <alanbshepard77> redDEAD: Well the touchpad now side scrolls but my new optical mouse won't/can't do it. The mouse does have the 4 way scroll feature
[09:22] <tzd> ziroday: and that doesn't just change the language? It also changes currency etc?
[09:22] <audifahrer> Hello
[09:22] <rdw200169> audifahrer: hi!
[09:23] <langleyo> My Ubuntu HH networking broken...after a purged fresh install of samba...sudo nautilus then sharing folder, i get this: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Logon failure. any clues please? This is infuriating =)
[09:23] <ziroday> hharvey: try install the package ubuntu-restricted-extras and see if it works after that
[09:23] <jelle> When installing java, do you need the add the /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/bin to the $PATH or is this not nessecary?
[09:23] <ziroday> tzd: correct
[09:23] <gidna> nobody can help me
[09:23] <audifahrer> has anyone an idea when cairomm in ubuntu is updated to a newer one?
[09:23] <ziroday> !anyone > gidna
[09:23] <ikonia> jelle: when you install the package it should be all done for you
[09:23] <tzd> ziroday: great, thanks! He was moaning about this issue so now i can tell him hopw superior linux is to windows haha :)
[09:23] <audifahrer> I have 1.4.2, but need 1.4.4
[09:24] <Ujjwol> which ubuntu like [PC (Intel x86) desktop CD] or [64-bit PC (AMD64) desktop CD] shall i download to get 64-bit ubuntu to run under core 2 duo
[09:24] <mgolisch> audifahrer: maybe with the enxt release
[09:24] <rdw200169> gidna: what was your problem again?
[09:24] <ziroday> tzd: no problem. have fun!
[09:24] <ikonia> Ujjwol: amd64
[09:24] <jelle> ikonia, where does it do that? I'm setting my env vars in the /etc/environment file
[09:24] <wgrant> audifahrer: Ubuntu 8.10 will have cairomm 1.6.4
[09:24] <ikonia> jelle: when you apt-get/synaptic the package it should set it up with symlinks
[09:24] <gidna> the sound level is low respect the usual.. but the barr is at the maximum
[09:25] <rdw200169> gidna: can you explain more?
[09:25] <audifahrer> wgrant: is there an easy way to replace 1.4.2 with 1.4.4 without installing it over the package from source
[09:25] <audifahrer> ?
[09:25] <tzd> anyone with a good gui html website creator please? Had one before but can't remember what it was called. Pretty simple program but perfect for my needs.
[09:25] <jelle> ikonia, the softlinks are ok, but the vars aren't ok, i can call java from my terminal when I add the bin folder from java to the path, else it cannot find it
[09:25] <audifahrer> tzd: nvc
[09:25] <wgrant> audifahrer: No. Why do you need it?
[09:25] <ziroday> tzd: kompozer?
[09:26] <tzd> kompozer!!! yes you saved me once again ziroday :D
[09:26] <Ujjwol> ikonai, even for intel 64 -bit
[09:26] <tzd> audifahrer: thanks for your help :)
[09:26] <ikonia> Ujjwol: yes
[09:26] <Ujjwol> r u sure
[09:26] <ikonia> jelle: that's quite worrying
[09:26] <ikonia> Ujjwol: yes
[09:26] <audifahrer> tzd: hm, the name was similar, but maybe not nvc
[09:26] <Ujjwol> ok
[09:26] <ikonia> jelle: look at /etc/alternatives and look at what's setup for java
[09:26] <gidna> the sound level is very low I don't know how to rise it
[09:26] <rdw200169> gidna: did anything change since this happened?
[09:27] <Anurag> is there any way to download the totem bbc plugin of ubuntu InterpidIblex and install in hardy
[09:27] <langleyo> Ubuntu HH networking broken...after a purged fresh install of samba...sudo nautilus then share folder, i get this: 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot convert name "Everyone" to a SID. Logon failure. any clues please? Cant see anything else on net at all unless i use IP addresses
[09:27] <rdw200169> gidna: or has it always been this way?
[09:27] <gidna> I don't see anymore the update icon..
[09:27] <wgrant> langleyo: Please repeat your question less often.
[09:27] <hharvey> ziroday: k ty my problem has been solved...one more question...does my dvd drive need a driver in order for it to recognize my dvds
[09:27] <ikonia> Anurag no
[09:27] <gidna> No since yestarday
[09:27] <audifahrer> tzd: nvu was the name
[09:27] <audifahrer> wgrant: mapnik from SVN
[09:27] <ziroday> hharvey: yes its in the package libdvdcss2
[09:28] <jelle> ikonia, I think i found the root of my problem there
[09:28] <velko> gidna, you may try to bring up the mixer interface (right click on the volume control) and make sure the channels "master" _and_ "pcm" are set to maximum
[09:28] <ziroday> !dvd > hharvey
[09:28] <tzd> audifahrer: ah ok, well i've found the program i was using (kompozer) but thanks anyway!
[09:28] <jelle> ikonia, the softlink is pointing at the wrong folder
[09:28] <rdw200169> velko, good call
[09:28] <ikonia> jelle: there we go
[09:28] <MrD1> Hi and good morning to every one. A few questions if you dont mind. I have ubuntu 8.04 will it update to the new version 8.10 on its own when its stable. or do i have to reinstall ubuntu again, also if i download 8.10 now on a other computer when its stable will it update as well and last question sorry, i installed 8.04 on a pc and after boot it has starange lines all over the screen lots of questions sorry
[09:28] <rdw200169> gidna: the master volume (or PCM volume) might be low
[09:28] <ziroday> hharvey: you might wnat to read this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[09:28] <rdw200169> gidna: they're usually related
[09:28] <jelle> ikonia, what does the alternatives folder do exactly?
[09:29] <rdw200169> gidna: and the volume applet on the taskbar will only adjust one of them
[09:29] <gidna> at Sound preferences?
[09:29] <ikonia> jelle: map versions to commands eg: you could have 4 vesions of java installed, this tells you which to use, or if you have sendmail/postfix/exim installed it will say which mta to use
[09:29] <defrysk> doubleclick the volume applet to fix it
[09:29] <ziroday> MrD1: answer to your first few is that yes, when the new release of ubuntu comes out you can update to it
[09:29] <rdw200169> gidna: yeah, just double click the speaker icon on the taskbar
[09:30] <MrD1> ziroday, thank you
[09:30] <rdw200169> gidna: and make sure all the appropriate volume levels are up
[09:30] <jelle> ikonia, that makes it even more clear why it failed, netbeans suddenly added java5 to my system, and probably changed it there
[09:30] <jp91> how come displayconfig-gtk wont save my screen setting?
[09:30] <jelle> ikonia, then I removed the java5 but I did not changed it there
[09:31] <tab_shift> jp91:  did you sacrifice the live animal and do the rain dance as it says in the manual ?
[09:31] <a1len> One last thing before I do this. On the tutorials that I read it doesn't say anything about what to do with the vista partition after you back it up onto a cd. Is it safe to just delete the backup saved on the partition altogether?
[09:31] <jelle> ikonia, thanks
[09:32] <gidna> look here http://img356.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotma1.png
[09:32] <jp91> i've been working on this for almost 8 hours and my eyes are dying
[09:32] <gidna> it seems to be at the maximum
[09:32] <jp91> if it were as simple as a sacrifice and a rain dance i would be done
[09:32] <tab_shift> jp91: :-)
[09:33] <rdw200169> gidna: go to Edit and click all the options
[09:33] <tab_shift> jp91: put the settings in xorg.conf
[09:33] <rdw200169> gidna: in preferences
[09:33] <tab_shift> jp91: ....then sacrifice , I know its a newbie mistake
[09:34] <rdw200169> gidna: and thanks for the Screenshot; makes things easy!
[09:34] <Anurag> FEDORA is far more better than ubuntu
[09:34] <gidna> ok
[09:34] <defrysk> far more better is poor englsh
[09:34] <gidna> was the pcm absent
[09:35] <tab_shift> Anurag: just bend over...so we can get this over with
[09:35] <Dr_Willis> Anurag,  goodie for you..
[09:35] <gidna> now it's ok
[09:35] <rdw200169> gidna: is everything fixed???
[09:35] <jp91> tab_shift: in xorg.conf it's all there.. still at the login screen i can only see part of the screen area, it looks zoomed in, until i log in and the resolution is right but it's all blurry, ugh
[09:35] <gidna> yes thank you
[09:35] <rdw200169> gidna: excellent!
[09:36] <audifahrer> could anyone explain why cairomm-1.4.2 is libcairomm-1.0-1 in ubtuntu
[09:37] <lepine> cairon is a library.
[09:37] <lepine> *cairo
[09:37] <langleyo> how long do i leave before posting my question again lest it gets forgotten please? i need a samba guru! sorry dont mean to be pushy i know youre busy=)
[09:37] <jp91> it's a different resolution every time i log in :/
[09:37] <pabix> Hello! I just installed a fresh Hardy and gnome-keyboard-properties is not functioning well; I can add new kbd layouts BUT they are uneffective, ie not taken in account
[09:38] <tab_shift> jp91: have you tried dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg
[09:39] <audifahrer> lepine: sure, but where is the version number in the source package. There is only one source package with number 1.4.2
[09:39] <jp91> tab_shift: so many times, it doesn't give me any options to configure the graphics
[09:40] <devslashnull> what can i safely delete to save space on my file system
[09:40] <jp91> tab_shift: except for the first question (Use kernel framebuffer device interface?)
[09:40] <tab_shift> jp91: have you tried dpkg-reconfigure -plow xserver-xorg , try it with -plow now
[09:40] <jp91> tab_shift: the rest of the questions are mostly about the keyboard.. is that normal?
[09:41] <jp91> tab_shift: i tried that and it's still the same, a whole lot of questions about configuring the keyboard
[09:41] <devslashnull> any recommendations
[09:42] <tab_shift> jp91: output of xrandr -q
[09:42] <velko> devslashnull, you better first find out what is eating your space. use something like baobab for example to pinpoint the space eaters and after that decide what to remove
[09:43] <devslashnull> well i am using an eeepc so i only have 4GB of total space and i am at 87% disk used
[09:43] <Stupendoussteve> devslashnull, found the culpret. It's this "Ubuntu" thing
[09:44] <wnet2> dgjjk
[09:44] <devslashnull> :p
[09:44] <velko> devslashnull, you can delete safely old log files for example. but you'll gain something only if their are big enough
[09:44] <rdw200169> Stupendoussteve: no bashing ubuntu
[09:44] <jp91> tab_shift i pasted that in a pm
[09:45] <Lilinallte> how to register nickname?
[09:45] <Stupendoussteve> rdw200169, there was no bashing. It installs a lot and takes up space, not so good on a small filesystem
[09:45] <lepine> Lilinallte: /nickserv register password
[09:45] <tab_shift> jp91: got it mate, just a min.
[09:45] <rdw200169> Stupendoussteve: what about ubuntu mobile
[09:45] <Lilinallte> tnx
[09:46] <Stupendoussteve> Nice never seen that
[09:46] <rdw200169> Stupendoussteve: http://www.eeebuntu.org/
[09:46] <jp91> how come xorg.conf lists my monitor correctly but in system/preferences/screen resolution it has a big "unknown" over the image of the monitor where the real name should be?
[09:46] <tab_shift> jp91: try switching to the highest resolution via xrandr then report back
[09:47] <jp91> tab_shift what is xrandr?
[09:48] <toomai> hi all
[09:48] <rdw200169> toomai: howdy!
[09:48] <toomai> anyone got a lenovo thinpad x200 with x4500 graphics running with intrepid (or hardy)? It runs, but it looks a tad blurry (its only 1024x768, could be better)
[09:49] <Reenen> my nautilus is broken (broken = When i change a directory, it crashes)
[09:49] <tab_shift> jp91: X now auto detects everything, so to change the resolution type xrandr in a command prompt
[09:50] <wuya> hao
[09:50] <devslashnull> velko, i ran disk analyzer and it shows /usr is using 1.7GB
[09:50] <Danskmand> Goood morning :-) - How can I upgrade the installed fcpci on ubuntu from "does not support faxing" to full-featured ?
[09:50] <velko> devslashnull, yep. but don't delete anything there
[09:50] <devslashnull> i know
[09:50] <gadsok> Добрый день, может ктонибуть знает в чем проблема? поставил на ubuntu server 8.04 apt-cacher на 3142 порт c удаленных машин на  этот порт не подключается=( посидел почитал форум не укого подобной проблемы небыло =(
[09:50] <jp91> tab_shift is there a command? when i enter xrandr it lists the same thing i pasted to you a minute ago
[09:50] <rdw200169> devslashnull: you could probably uninstall stuff you don't use
[09:50] <wuya> no
[09:50] <tab_shift> jp91: xrandr -q
[09:50] <velko> !ru > gadsok
[09:51] <wuya> yes
[09:51] <tab_shift> jp91:  thats the info i wanted in the first place
[09:51] <tab_shift> jp91: xrandr -mode 1600x1200
[09:51] <tab_shift> jp91: otherwise see the man xrandr i don't remember exactly
[09:52] <Newhoa> Does anyone have a second for a few quick questions about the Ubuntu Artwork Wiki?
[09:52] <tab_shift> jp91: which gfx card do you have ?
[09:53] <Reenen> Newhoa: I have a second, but I know nothing about it. :-)
[09:53] <Newhoa> Haha
[09:53] <ikonia> Newhoa: you may find more in-tune people in #ubuntu-artwork
[09:53] <Reenen> Newhoa: but what do you want to know... "topic says" don't ask to ask, just ask...
[09:54] <Reenen> oh, topic doesn't say that anymore
[09:54] <Newhoa> I tried ubuntu-artwork and didn
[09:54] <jp91> tab_shift it's an oldie, 82845g integrated intel extreme
[09:54] <Newhoa> 't get a response
[09:54] <Newhoa> I'm just kind of new to it. I wasn't sure if just anyone can edit it.
[09:54] <ikonia> Newhoa if your signed up should be ble to
[09:55] <Newhoa> Like if I had a comment or whatever, would I just edit the wiki to include my comment?
[09:55] <rdw200169> Newhoa: you just create an account
[09:55] <rdw200169> Newhoa: and edit away, that's kinda the point to WIki's
[09:55] <Newhoa> Or if I wanted to add a remix to an existing submission, would I just attach it and edit the wiki to include it?
[09:56] <Newhoa> Cool! I wasn't sure if I needed to be part of the Artwork team or on the mailing list or whatever. I mean, I know I CAN, but I wasn't sure if I should!
[09:56] <paducahguy> #ubuntu-offtopic
[09:56] <rdw200169> Newhoa: if it's helpful i don't see why it would be a problem
[09:57] <devslashnull> i have 2 folders in /usr/src named linux-headers-2.6.27-7 and linux-headers-2.6.27-7-headers. which is the one i need to keep ?
[09:57] <ikonia> devslashnull: your using ubuntu 8.10
[09:57] <tab_shift> jp91: could it be a bug like this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/212206
[09:57] <rdw200169> Newhoa: just don't change pages that have a notice on them that beg you not to change them
[09:57] <ikonia> devslashnull: ubuntu 8.10 support is in the #ubuntu+1 channel
[09:57] <jayan> Hi all
[09:57] <devslashnull> no 8.04
[09:57] <tab_shift> jp91: check if its fixed in latest X, i.e intrepid
[09:57] <velko> devslashnull, do you compile your kernel or kernel modules for your kernel for yourself?
[09:57] <ikonia> devslashnull: 8.04 doesnt have a 2.6.27 kernel
[09:57] <jayan> any body configured Exchange 2007 on Evolution???
[09:57] <Newhoa> Ok, thanks you guys!
[09:58] <a1len> In infra-recorder, I can get away with only allocating the smallest amount of space because the Ubuntu file isn't that big, right?
[09:58] <cjs> Hey, how do I get rid of the little network icon in the what's-it-called area in my toolbar?
[09:58] <jp91> tab_shift I did xrandr -s 1856x1392 and it got even more blurry i almost can't read text
[09:58] <devslashnull> velko, ikonia  i am using an eee pc with 2.6.27-7
[09:58] <sysk> how do u install new drivers in ubuntu??
[09:58] <ikonia> devslashnull: show me "lsb_release -a"
[09:58] <cjs> Ah, the "notification area."
[09:58] <tab_shift> jp91: this is probably a known xorg issue, try the latest release to see if they fixed it
[09:59] <rdw200169> cjs: sudo apt-get remove network-manager
[09:59] <ikonia> sysk: you shouldn't need to
[09:59] <defrysk> cjs: unselect is in sessions
[09:59] <velko> devslashnull, if you don't compile the kernel or kernel modules you can deinstall the kernel source packages (which installed these folders)
[09:59] <cjs> Wow, that's pretty hash. (The apt-get remove, I mean.)
[09:59] <rdw200169> cjs; that gets rid of anything that has to do with that application
[09:59] <d0c5i5> is there a how-to or prefered way to setup WINE to use the dlls/etc from my windows partition? or is that not really needed? (i'm just starting to get some of my windows apps running, and some stuff is acting up...).... I am, however, paying for / using Cedega for a couple games (this is my first exposure to it)
[09:59] <devslashnull> velko no lsb modulls description: ubuntu 8.04 release: 8.04 codename: hardy
[09:59] <jp91> tab_shift i just downloaded ubuntu from the ubuntu website today and updated after installing
[09:59] <rdw200169> cjs: it's just a garbage front end to ifconfig
[10:00] <d0c5i5> right now i'm just trying to get pain to run, and i'm not sure if it's mad that it doesn't have some native DLLs or if it's some kind of 32/64bit conflict
[10:00] <rdw200169> cjs; it works ok for wireless, but that's about it
[10:00] <jp91> tab_shift i still need the latest release of xorg from somewhere?
[10:00] <rdw200169> cjs i got rid of it ages ago
[10:00] <ikonia> devslashnull: I find that very dubious, as it should say 8.04.1 release
[10:00] <velko> devslashnull, this was ikonia's question. i don't care about it. i was asking you something completely different
[10:01] <jayan> any idea about configuring Exchange 2007 with Evolution
[10:01] <rdw200169> cjs: unless you do a lot of wireless roaming, it's kinda pointless
[10:01] <tab_shift> jp91: XORG releases are very far stretched, you'll need to try the bete/testing version LIVEcd , copy the image to a usb drive etc
[10:01] <velko> ikonia, obviously he has the preinstalled version on the eee pc. maybe customized ubuntu install
[10:01] <tab_shift> jp91: there is however a PPA available here https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive
[10:01] <ikonia> velko: I doubt that as 2.6.27 is too new
[10:01] <rdw200169> cjs: System -> Administration -> Network does the same thing
[10:02] <cjs> Right. Well, off it is. Had to kill the thing, too.
[10:02] <tab_shift> jayan: just configure imap and youare goog to go
[10:02] <rdw200169> cjs: as far as setting up ip's is concerned
[10:02] <cjs> It is a pretty rubbishy front-end, though the location stuff looks like it could be handy on a laptop.
[10:02] <jayan> tab_shift: let me try it
[10:02] <jp91> tab_shift did i mention i'm new to linux
[10:03] <rdw200169> cjs: it's got a ways to go...
[10:03] <devslashnull> velko, i tried compiling this kernel module but i guess i dont need it so no i dont need to compile it myself
[10:03] <cjs> Ok, and this is something that's also been bugging me; every time someone mentions my name in xchat, my cursor jumps to it.
[10:03] <rdw200169> cjs: you could try IRC with pidgin
[10:03] <jp91> i don't know what that webpage wants me to do tab_shift, this is way over my head now
[10:03] <cjs> I don't see any obvious setting in the xchat config; is this a gnome thing of some sort?
[10:03] <rdw200169> cjs: that's what i use
[10:04] <rdw200169> cjs: i don't get all the fancy IRC features Xchat has, but it's simple and conservative
[10:04] <Nepal> hi
[10:04] <Lilinallte> quit
[10:04] <velko> devslashnull, if this is the case you can deinstall trough synaptic/apt-get/aptitude the kernel sources or headers. be careful not to remove the kernel image itself though ;-)
[10:04] <rdw200169> cjs: and has worked pretty well thus far
[10:04] <devslashnull> velko, where is the kernel image stored
[10:05] <velko> devslashnull, /boot
[10:05] <devslashnull> velko, oh ok
[10:05] <cjs> Well, rather that switching programs, I wouldn't mind just getting rid of the one annoyance.
[10:05] <devslashnull> velko i have a 4GB sdhc card and i am moving it to there
[10:05] <jayan> tab_shift: i tried to configure using IMAP
[10:05] <rdw200169> cjs: i don't know then...
[10:05] <cjs> Pidgin has its own issues.
[10:05] <jayan> tab_shift: its giving me connection refused
[10:06] <rdw200169> cjs: try Vim's IRC then !
[10:06] <znik> my trackpad is not working properly.However when i connect an external mouse then the cursor works properly. what should i do?
[10:06] <velko> devslashnull, do you know how to use synaptic? my suggestion is to use it for deinstallation instead of randomly deleting folders
[10:06] <d0c5i5> are there any other "start' menu's besides the ubuntu "native" menu and the "vista/xp" clone that are worth looking into? i'm not thrilled with the default ubuntu one, and the vista/xp one is basically a image with links (it's not very modular).... just fishing for ideas on how to make it more relevant
[10:06] <rdw200169> cjs: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=931
[10:07] <cjs> Switching to and learning a whole new IRC program to fix one small problem seems overkill.
[10:07] <cjs> After all, I encounter another small problem there, and I'll just have to switch again. :-/
[10:07] <rdw200169> cjs: so many options, darn this linux!
[10:08] <cjs> I'm thinking that this is probably gnome-related, since it didn't happen to me on my NetBSD+fvwm1 system.
[10:08] <rdw200169> cjs: it could be an obscure gconf optoin
[10:08] <rdw200169> cjs: *option
[10:09] <cjs> Yeah. gconf is a whole new world.
[10:10] <cjs> I wonder if it was the tray icon or taskbar blinking option?
[10:12] <jp91> how come when i click a link to download an rpm in firefox it tries to open in firefox as a video? this is a new installation
[10:13] <defrysk> rp also stands for realplayer
[10:14] <defrysk> so it thinks it a realplay file
[10:14] <defrysk> jp91: just rightclick it and select save as
[10:15] <jp91> defrysk, i only have save link as
[10:15] <karex> HI, PROBLEM: after i close blender, its interface stay on the screen, but when i click it's 'fake'. Any suggestion?
[10:15] <znik> how can i reinstall my mouse forr hardy?
[10:16] <d0c5i5> wtf
[10:16] <OmIkRoNiXz> õìì
[10:16] <defrysk> !ops flooding
[10:16] <rdw200169> what was that?
[10:16] <qweqweqwe> a fool
[10:16] <alanbshepard77> How do I get btnx to work? I've installed it and configured it for my mouse but the keys don't trigger an event like they're supposed to.

[10:21] <unenough> hi, there was a page abuot how to debug stuff before reporting a bug
[10:21] <unenough> can anyone link me to it?
[10:22] <velko> unenough, google strace?
[10:22] <Danskmand> So....does someone here know how to upgrade a driver thats in the kernel ?
[10:23] <unenough> velko, no, i know how to use strace. there was something about a standard list of things that are helpful when reporting a bug
[10:23] <jp91> i can't believe i think i've almost solved this problem but i can't get the rpm because firefox keeps trying to open it as a video

[10:38] <bosjo> Lilinallte: thanks for that one too
[10:39] <magnetron> bosjo→ it's in the "gnome-device-manager" package

[10:42] <Jaguar48h> Hello all
[10:43] <Jaguar48h> iam new here
[10:43] <karex> HI, could audacity import ogg-video?
[10:43] <Jaguar48h> hi karex
[10:43] <karex> Jaguar48h: hi
[10:44] <rdw200169> karex: audacity only does audio
[10:44] <|Dreams|> can anyone help me my laptop is suddenly gone amazingl slow even though it was working fine last night
[10:44] <falstaff> I can't log into my MySpace home account with Ubuntu 8.04 ... using firefox ...
[10:44] <alanbshepard77> Dr_Willis: Ok I got btnx to work once. I reinstalled it and the config I tried using for one of the buttons worked until I tried to set the config for other buttons. I've tried reinstalling about but no dice
[10:45] <cafuego> falstaff: That's good right, not a problem?
[10:45] <|Dreams|> lol
[10:45] <karex> rdw200169: do you know how to extract sound from ogg-video?
[10:45] <Dr_Willis> alanbshepard77,  reinstallingis windows thinking  :)   sounds like its missconfigured.. if you remove it with the 'purge' option - that would remove all the system configs..but NOT the user configs
[10:46] <rdw200169> karex: reluctantly, no
[10:46] <falstaff> cafuego ... no it is not good!  I should be able to access my own website!
[10:46] <|Dreams|> do you have flash installed
[10:47] <alanbshepard77> Dr_Willis: I never uninstalled I just reran the make lol.  Then it worked, briefly.
[10:47] <Jaguar48h> does anyone  use programming software for  c++  under ubuntu ?
[10:47] <|Dreams|> kdevelope is pretty good
[10:47] <Dr_Willis> alanbshepard77,  make? oh you installed from source..
[10:48] <Dr_Willis> alanbshepard77,  could be some miss confgiured config now..
[10:48] <mr_lou> What's the fileexplorer in Ubuntu called?
[10:48] <Jaguar48h> Hi Dr Willis
[10:49] <|Dreams|> nautlius
[10:49] <|Dreams|> nautilus
[10:49] <|Dreams|> *
[10:49] <alanbshepard77> Dr_Willis: I'm performing a make uninstall now and then I'll try installing the binary packages.
[10:50] <falstaff> Mr Lou there are several file manager applications for linux system PC man in system tools is good.
[10:51] <cafuego> alanbshepard77: if you do source installs, at the very least run them through `checkinstall'.
[10:51] <mr_lou> falstaff: Yea, I could have just looked in the About popup. I just needed to do a sudo nautilus. Being used to thunar from Arch Linux.
[10:51] <wers> can i use a gif as a wallpaper?:)
[10:52] <alanbshepard77> cafuego: Thanks for the suggestion but to be honest I have no idea what that is :-/
[10:52] <falstaff> Mr lou also if you go to places you can use the folder browser to move file from folder to folder.
[10:54] <cafuego> alanbshepard77: It records what 'make install' does and packagaes the installed files into a .deb for easy management.
[10:54] <falstaff> but why can't get myspace to recognise my username and password??
[10:55] <alanbshepard77> cafuego: oh nice, sounds like something I need to really pay attention to, thanks.
[10:56] <newlife> What's a .avi player for ubuntu?
[10:56] <newlife> a good*
[10:57] <magnetron> newlife→ i think Totem is nice. VLC is nice too.
[10:57] <wers> how do i use .gif as a moving wallpaper?
[10:57] <spazm> hey, in which packages are setupterm och tgetent included? I need one of them to compile BitchX... I get this error when I try..
[10:58] <CoRnJuLiOx> hey, i've got synaptic running in a terminal, and its downloading updates, how do i stop it safely?
[10:58] <CoRnJuLiOx> ctrl+z?
[10:58] <Dr_Willis> wers,  i dont think you can.
[10:58] <magnetron> newlife→ just double click on the .avi file and in most cases you will be just fine
[10:58] <newlife> magnetron: Cool - I had forgotten about using VLC - one of my trusty stand by favs.......
[10:58] <jimmie32> Hey all
[10:59] <newlife> jimmie32: how's it goin?

[11:00] <magnetron> !yay | jimmie32
[11:00] <newlife> magnetron: I could also use " sudo apt-get install "file name" " as well correct?
[11:00] <magnetron> newlife→ yes, exactly.
[11:00] <magnetron> newlife→ "sudo apt-get install vlc" in this case
[11:01] <alanbshepard77> Dr_Willis, cafuego; Thanks I got it all working now, you two rock.
[11:02] <newlife> jimmie32: Cool - yea Ubuntu is pretty great distro - no complaints here - beats the heck outta spyware woa's on the ol windows box (which never gets turn on much anymore)

[11:08] <nigeltatschner19> ubuntu
[11:08] <jimmie32> newlife: I found out Ubuntu early 2007, but never installed it, for some reason
[11:08] <hateball> scuser» ifconfig
[11:08] <jimmie32> then I forgot it
[11:08] <hateball> scuser» if they show... they're up
[11:08] <magnetron> scuser→ network? if you are comfortable with the command line, use ifconfig
[11:08] <jimmie32> but now a friend of mine told me about it and I decided to install. I don't regret it :)
[11:08] <magnetron> hateball→ Mr Big Arrow!

[11:09] <hateball> magnetron» Mr Lil Arrow!
[11:09] <klimy> hi
[11:09] <newlife> hateball: Have seen term you typed " !ot " - not sure exactly how to use - It's a way to search is it ?
[11:09] <klimy> what is best current practise for determining the file encoding?
[11:09] <magnetron> Danskmand→ all you need to do is ask. if anyone knows the answer, they will ansewr.
[11:09] <hateball> !list | newlife
[11:09] <magnetron> klimy→ use the "file" command
[11:09] <klimy> magnetron: tried that ;)
[11:10] <Fueled> uber-noob needs help with dual-boot problem

[11:10] <magnetron> !ask | Fueled
[11:10] <WildSoft> I also have a dual-boot problem =)
[11:10] <Danskmand> Everywhere in google they talk about that ISDN doesnt work on ubuntu and that they switch to debian just bacause of this ! - I've been looking on it for weeks now !
[11:10] <magnetron> everyone: if you have a problem, just ask a question. don't wait for anyone to step up to say that they can help you

[11:12] <ikonia> Jaguar48h: #c++
[11:12] <rockyrock> hey guys, I want a C/C++ IDE. I don't have a lot of RAM in my laptop (256) so plz consider the memory consuming.
[11:12] <ikonia> or ##c++
[11:12] <magnetron> newlife→ read the link ubottu gave you
[11:12] <ikonia> rockyrock: eclipse is the one most people go for, but it will run slow with 256
[11:12] <ikonia> rockyrock: most people with 256/less dont use an ide
[11:12] <rockyrock> ikonia: yeah i know that's why i'm asking
[11:12] <newlife> magnetron: Will do - have it bookmarked - thanks - so much to learn - so little time - heh heh
[11:12] <Fueled> I have just installed Ubuntu 8.04, with a previous installation of Windows XP. I want to dual-boot. I can start Ubuntu just fine, but I have the "Hal.dll" problem when trying to start Windows. I have searched on Google for answers, but since I'm super new to Ubuntu, most are too cryptic for me. I need tailored help :-(
[11:12] <magnetron> rockyrock→ some use Anjuta, but i haven't tried it
[11:13] <rockyrock> ikonia: what about anjuta
[11:13] <ikonia> rockyrock: try it
[11:13] <WildSoft> When installing Ubuntu, you get the option to change the size of your patition for dual-boot. This fails for some reason and gives me an error message. Sizechange failed.
[11:13] <klimy> magnetron: somehow file just tells me that my file is a tex file. actually i knew that ;)
[11:13] <ikonia> Fueled: that error is normally (not normally) associated with the windows partition not being defragged/chkdisked before partitioning for the ubuntu install
[11:13] <ikonia> Fueled: using the windows repair cd will normally fix it
[11:14] <rockyrock> i would like to use gcc to compile the C files but i doesn't show any errors if the code contains errors! Does it?
[11:14] <Jaguar48h> thnx
[11:14] <Fueled> ikonia: I did a Defrag just before installing Ubuntu, like suggetsed
[11:14] <ikonia> rockyrock: of course it does
[11:14] <ikonia> rockyrock: it shows warnings
[11:14] <klimy> magnetron: can you give me a hint? i looked at man but did not find the parameter i needed
[11:14] <magnetron> klimy→ ok, then it's probably a TeX file. what more do you want to know about it?
[11:14] <ikonia> rockyrock: it's a compiler
[11:14] <ikonia> Fueled: thats the normal cause
[11:14] <velko> WildSoft, i'm not very familiar with this but maybe you have to boot first into windows and defragment the partition you are trying to resize
[11:14] <klimy> magnetron: encoding.
[11:14] <Danskmand> I have installed with apt-get the kernel-headers and the restricted modules....then I copied the Fritz drivers to "/usr/src/AVM-Fritz/fcpci-3.11.07" and executed the make in there. This is what I got: make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.24-19-server' and make[1]: Makefile: No such file or directory
[11:14]  * shandooo off dodjem za 20 min Jelena  :********************88
[11:14] <magnetron> klimy→ oh you mean utf-8 or iso-latin1?
[11:14] <ikonia> Danskmand: there is no makefile in that directory
[11:14] <klimy> magnetron: like utf8, ascii
[11:14] <ikonia> !awak > shandooo
[11:14] <Fueled> ikonia: I also tried with the Windows Recovery Console, to "bootcfg /rebuild"
[11:14] <klimy> magnetron: yeah
[11:14] <ikonia> !away > shandooo
[11:15] <ikonia> Fueled: it's no the bootcfg
[11:15] <WildSoft> velko I've installed ubuntu on other computers aswell. It should do it auto.
[11:15] <ikonia> Fueled: boot is handled by grub now
[11:15] <rockyrock> ikonia: i doesn't with me!!! I tried to compile a file with a syntax error but it didn't show any warnings!
[11:15] <rockyrock> *it
[11:15] <spazm> hey, in which packages are setupterm och tgetent included? I need one of them to compile BitchX... I get this error when I try..
[11:15] <ReelBigDick> connect irc.chatnet.ru/6667
[11:15] <Fueled> ikonia: but I read on forums that the boot.ini file is probably the problem
[11:15] <cafuego> spazm: libncurses5-dev
[11:15] <klimy> is there some neat tool that does some guessing of file encodings?
[11:15] <magnetron> klimy→ by default, text files in ubuntu are encoded utf-8
[11:16] <Fueled> ikonia: but I'm not able to edit it from within Ubuntu
[11:16] <klimy> magnetron: i downloaded the file. it is not utf8
[11:16] <ikonia> Fueled: possible, you need to boot ubuntu, mount your windows partition and look at the file
[11:16] <ikonia> Fueled: you should be able to
[11:16] <velko> WildSoft, maybe the partitions you resized successfully wasn't badly fragmented? just a guess though
[11:16] <Fueled> ikonia: that's where I need help, since it's all new to me
[11:16]  * cafuego pokes jhesketh with a sharp shovel
[11:16] <nigeltatschner19> can anyone help me with my wifi problem
[11:16] <ikonia> Fueled: what part are you having issues
[11:16] <Danskmand> ikonia: Well, there is a Makefile....But it just points to itself ?? : "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root     35 2008-10-19 11:57 Makefile -> ../linux-headers-2.6.24-19/Makefile"
[11:16] <ikonia> Danskmand: then there is no makefile
[11:17] <Danskmand> ikonia: Whats wrong there ?
[11:17] <magnetron> klimy→ you can install the "uni2ascii" package
[11:17] <ikonia> Danskmand: there is no makefile
[11:17] <Fueled> ikonia: I can see the Windows drive in the "File Browser", but I can't see the boot.ini file
[11:17] <nigeltatschner19> i have a realtek 8185 and it will not show
[11:17] <jhesketh> and hi to you cafuego
[11:17] <magnetron> klimy→ "tcs" looks like a good tool too
[11:17] <ikonia> Fueled: it's a hidden file normally
[11:17] <Fueled> ikonia: even with "Show Hidden Files" enabled
[11:17] <ikonia> Fueled: or it not being there maybe the problem
[11:18] <rockyrock> ikonia: how can i run the compiled file after the compliation?
[11:18] <ikonia> rockyrock: ./
[11:18] <ikonia> rockyrock: it's a binary
[11:18] <Danskmand> ikonia: There are several files - init, ipc, kbuild, kernel and so on.....But they all are links and pointing to themselves
[11:18] <TuniX12> ikonia: the windows hidden files are not hidden under Linux
[11:18] <rockyrock> ikonia: ./hello-world?? like this only?
[11:18] <ikonia> rockyrock: yup
[11:18] <ikonia> Danskmand: then it's setup wrong
[11:19] <nigeltatschner19> can anyone see my messages
[11:19] <ikonia> nigeltatschner19: yes
[11:19] <Fueled> ikonia: yeah, I'm pretty clueless as to why I can't see it
[11:19] <ikonia> Fueled: maybe it's not there
[11:19] <WildSoft> velko: Thats the problem, it don't rezise it. When trying to in the Ubuntu installation it fails. Giving me an error message. An error has occured when writing to the disk. Sizechange has cancled - Something like that, translated from Swedish ^^
[11:19] <rockyrock> ikonia: i compiled this file like this: gcc hello-world.c >> then i tried to run it using this command: ./hello-world >> and i got this: bash: ./hello-world: No such file or directory
[11:20] <TuniX12> !wifi > nigeltatschner19
[11:20] <klimy> man... emacs is so powerful, sometimes it even scares me...
[11:20] <ikonia> rockyrock: does hello-world exist ?
[11:20] <ikonia> rockyrock: it's normally outputing to a.out
[11:20] <velko> WildSoft, i already saw your problem. ikonia asked you to repeat ;-)
[11:20] <klimy> how can something so mighty even exist?
[11:20] <Fueled> ikonia: what would you suggest I do to recreate it? I already tried "bootcfg /rebuild"
[11:20] <rockyrock> ikonia: oh yeah it's a.out. How can i tell gcc to compile it with the name it has?
[11:20] <ikonia> Fueled: someone in ##windows may be able to help rebuild it
[11:20] <magnetron> klimy→ please join #ubuntu-offtopic , i want to discuss this with you
[11:20] <ikonia> rockyrock: read up on how to use the compiler and c++
[11:21] <Fueled> ikonia: ok I'll look there
[11:21] <rockyrock> ikonia: where to read?
[11:21] <Fueled> ikonia: thanks!
[11:21] <klimy> magnetron: emacs save the day... again ;) just needed C-uC-x= ;)
[11:21] <ikonia> rockyrock: anywhere that teaches gcc/c++
[11:21] <WildSoft> velko: I'm a bit slow atm. No breakfast =)
[11:21] <klimy> magnetron: thanks for your effort
[11:21] <magnetron> klimy→ i still need to check out tcs
[11:24] <jimmie32> sorry for this silly question, but where is the /public_html folder (apache) in Ubuntu?
[11:25] <ikonia> jimmie32: you have to make it
[11:25] <ikonia> jimmie32: it's normally created in a users home dir
[11:25] <ikonia> jimmie32: if your using mod_user dir
[11:25] <ikonia> mod_user module sorry
[11:25] <icewaterman> is there a way to read a variables content from stdin on a shell without using "read" ?
[11:25] <jimmie32> I make a directory like /home/jimmie32/apache/ ?
[11:25] <ikonia> jimmie32: /home/jimmie32/public_html
[11:26] <jimmie32> then?
[11:26] <magnetron> icewaterman→ you can read command line arguments as $1 $2 etc
[11:26] <ikonia> jimmie32: then what ?
[11:26] <Danskmand> ikonia: Do you have a hint for where to look whats wrong ?
[11:26] <icewaterman> magnetron: no, i need it from stdin
[11:26] <jimmie32> ikonia: I made a folder called /home/jimmie/public_html
[11:26] <icewaterman> like the user needs to type it#
[11:26] <ikonia> Danskmand: read the docs
[11:26] <bhavya> need help with virtualbox in ubuntu
[11:27] <jimmie32> then how I tell apache to use that folder?
[11:27] <ikonia> jimmie32: great, if you've setup mod_userdir then your sorted, if not setup mod_userdir
[11:27] <jimmie32> how do I setup mod_userdir?
[11:27] <ikonia> jimmie32: just enable the module
[11:27] <Clockswork> Lol! I had a GPU temp of 65 and a CPU temp of 53 in Idle.. I turned my computer over tried to loosen the lid to clean it...didnt find a matching screwdriver so I flipped it over again and now my CPU idle is 36 and my GPU is 54
[11:27] <Clockswork> Weird!
[11:28] <ikonia> Clockswork: why is that funny or anything to do with ubuntu ?
[11:28] <Got2> why ?
[11:28] <ikonia> Got2: why what ?
[11:28] <bhavya> need help with virtualbox on ubunut
[11:28] <Got2> sorry
[11:28] <ikonia> bhavya: ask the question then
[11:28] <Got2> hi 2 all
[11:29] <Got2> i got iphone
[11:29] <Clockswork> ikonia: Oh, I'm sry. No there was a big dicussion here yesterday with temperatures so I guess I was stuck in that discussion.. sry
[11:29] <newlife> Having problem trying to run " X-CD-Roast " - Complains about " no root configuration file found, etc. " - Way to fix - or get running ? ?
[11:29] <chilli00> is there any programs like microsof sam or just a text talking program native for ubuntu?
[11:29] <icewaterman> Clockswork: not weired at all. you should open the case for sure!
[11:29] <Got2> is it possible ubuntu mobile on my iphone ?
[11:29] <ikonia> Got2: no
[11:29] <chilli00> Got2 not yet
[11:29] <Dr_Willis> chilli00,  festiville (spelling?) can do voices
[11:30] <chilli00> okie thanks
[11:30] <TuniX12> festival
[11:30] <Clockswork> icewaterman: Yes I know but I didnt open it, couldnt find a matching screwdriver so I just turned it on again and just by doing that I lowered my idle temps by 10 degrees
[11:30] <TuniX12> !info festival
[11:30] <Got2> the project about ubuntu mobile not yet success ?
[11:31] <Dr_Willis> Clockswork,  you proberly knocked a dust bunny off...
[11:31] <jimmie32> ikonia: How do I enable it? :b
[11:31] <ikonia> Got2: it doesn't work on the iphone yet
[11:31] <ikonia> jimmie32: it should normally be enabled by default I believe
[11:31] <Clockswork> Dr_Willis: Think so to :P
[11:31] <Got2> ok thx bye
[11:31] <jimmie32> ikonia: I installed apache using sudo apt-get install apache2...
[11:31] <ikonia> jimmie32: ok
[11:31] <icewaterman> Clockswork: yes, i know but thats just a side-effect: 1) your box got hot during use. 2) you turned it off, hence it cooled down. 3) you turn it on, everything seems fine, but if you start over heavy using it again, it will get hot again
[11:31] <jimmie32> ikonia: But its just not pointing to the /home/jimmie32/public_html/
[11:32] <ikonia> jimmie32: what do you mean it's not pointing
[11:32] <jimmie32> ikonia: It shows the "It works!" page and I can't replace it...where is that page located at?
[11:32] <newlife> X-CD_Roast will not run - no root config. error - any ideas ?
[11:32] <ikonia> jimmie32: to use mod_userdir you use http://url/~$username
[11:32] <icewaterman> you probably dont see the effect because some dirt did break loose from  the cooler and fell down but since it is not clean it will be as dirty as before in a matter of days
[11:33] <ikonia> jimmie32: check out the docs on apache.org about how to use it / set it up
[11:33] <bhavya> ikonia: want guests and host to be accessible via applications like ssh, vsftpd, etc
[11:33] <ikonia> bhavya: you need to setup network bridging
[11:33] <jamesish> jimmie32: you're looking for httpd.conf, the configuration file that'll let you change where apache is pointing. Or, you're looking for the place apache's pointing to, so you can just put your site there.
[11:34] <chilli00> Dr_Willis i installed but i cant find it anywere
[11:34] <jimmie32> jamesish: I'm looking for the place apache is pointing to...
[11:34] <bhavya> ikonia: I googled around, but couldnt do that, any url to do that
[11:34] <bhavya> ikonia: can you help me do that?
[11:34] <Dr_Willis> chilli00,  check the package manager.. its a command line tool. there proberly some guis for it also.
[11:34] <icewaterman> Clockswork: because once there is a dust layer coating the cooler, new dust will easily append to that layer and cause your problem all-over again. wont take more than 1-2 weeks and it will stress your components way more than necessary over time. so clean your box up twice a year
[11:34] <chilli00> o ok
[11:35] <Dr_Willis> chilli00,  quick google hit -> http://www.xenocafe.com/tutorials/php/festival_text_to_speech/index.php
[11:35] <Clockswork> icewaterman: Allright, I'll go by a matching screwdriver today :)
[11:35] <bhavya> ikonia:???
[11:35] <jamesish> jimmie32: I understand that you might not be familiar with apache, but I'm trying to be very clear here. Find the configuration file and read it. It's normally called httpd.conf.
[11:35] <Clockswork> icewaterman: but 43 degrees CPU idle tempereature isnt bad right?
[11:35] <ikonia> bhavya: what ?
[11:36] <icewaterman> Clockswork: a side-effect might be, that the cooler will sound louder, because all the dust did absorb some of its sound
[11:36] <ikonia> jimmie32: it's not httpd.conf in ubuntu
[11:36] <crazyb0y> jamesish: these days it's called apache2.conf =)
[11:36] <Clockswork> icewaterman: I dont have a problem with fan noise :)
[11:36] <icewaterman> Clockswork: no, its perfectly ok, if it stays that way.
[11:36] <tyberion> anybody know of a command on howto move the active window to the right,left,top or bottom to a specified amount, I tried wmctrl but that doesnt seem possible :(
[11:36] <jimmie32> Yup, I know it
[11:36] <bhavya> ikonia: how to dridgind? I googled around but couldnt help myself
[11:36] <ikonia> bhavya: bridging
[11:36] <bhavya> ikonia: do you have any links
[11:36] <ikonia> bhavya: no
[11:36] <Clockswork> icewaterman: I've only had this laptop for 5 months anyways
[11:36] <Clockswork> icewaterman: So I guess its time for my first cleaning
[11:37] <jamesish> Pfft. apache2.conf. Why, in my day, we had real cream in ice cream, real sunshine coming up the fields in the morning, and we used FreeBSD, the OS apache is developed on, where it's called httpd.conf. Linux whippernsappers.
[11:37] <bhavya> ikonia: can you help me bridging?
[11:37] <icewaterman> Clockswork: my old X850XT GPU is the loudest component of my entire box. i will soon replace it with the onboard graphics but until intrepid that one is not supported properly.
[11:37] <ikonia> bhavya: no, there are docs on virtualbox's site
[11:37] <bhavya> ikonia: thanks
[11:37] <crazyb0y> jamesish: hehe =)
[11:37] <ikonia> bhavya: there is also docs on the ubuntu help https://help.ubuntu.com site
[11:37] <icewaterman> Clockswork: why didnt you tell me it is a laptop. do not open the laptop, it is much easier
[11:37] <crazyb0y> jamesish: i use ubuntu only on my laptop =)
[11:37] <bhavya> ikonia: thanks again
[11:37] <crazyb0y> because it's too new, and ubuntu has a great support of it =)
[11:38] <spazm> I get the following errors when I try to compile BitchX...
[11:38] <spazm> make[1]: *** [ctcp.o] Error 1
[11:38] <spazm> make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/nico/BitchX/source'
[11:38] <spazm> make: *** [BitchX] Error 2
[11:38] <Ujjwol> how to install .ttf fonts under ubuntu hardy
[11:38] <icewaterman> Clockswork: do you have a vacuum cleaner, that is capable of reversing thrust?
[11:38] <crazyb0y> spazm: bitchx is outdated
[11:38] <spazm> anyone know? :)
[11:38] <crazyb0y> spazm: use irssi
[11:38] <Clockswork> icewaterman: so it blows out?
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> Ujjwol,  i copy them to my users .fonts directory, or you can access the fonts:// location in the gnome file manager and copy them to it.
[11:38] <jamesish> crazyb0y: I find FreeBSD usually smokes linux for support of various features, such as wireless cards. whereas the linux kernel tends to lead in speed of development.
[11:38] <Clockswork> icewaterman: I dont think so...
[11:38] <spazm> crazyb0y: that's what people keep telling me... but I had a nice setup with addons on bx...
[11:38] <Dr_Willis> or was it fonts:///
[11:38] <spazm> :/
[11:38] <crazyb0y> spazm: and why do you use ubuntu if you want to compile software on it ? =)
[11:39] <icewaterman> Clockswork: some vacuum cleaners can do that. read the manual.
[11:39] <crazyb0y> spazm: i migrated from bitchx to irssi
[11:39] <crazyb0y> few days is good time to be ok in irssi
[11:39] <crazyb0y> =0
[11:39] <crazyb0y> jamesish: the second reason to use ubuntu on my laptop is the LUKS encryption =)
[11:40] <spazm> crazyb0y: well, it should be possible to compile _some_ software, no? :)
[11:40] <Clockswork> icewaterman: So instead of opening it I just take my vacuum cleaner and point it at the fan opening? Wont that just make the dust fly around inside the laptop?
[11:40] <crazyb0y> spazm: heh it's outdated too =)
[11:40] <ikonia> spazm: it is possible, but using software that is dead (unmaintained) against a new distro requires a certain level of experience
[11:40] <GOOGLer> Dr_Willis, there is no .fonts directry in /home/my username/
[11:40] <ikonia> !offtopic | Clockswork
[11:40] <crazyb0y> yep listen to ikonia he's right
[11:41] <spazm> ikonia: I hear ya... :/
[11:41] <Dr_Willis> GOOGLer,  then make one.
[11:41] <icewaterman> Clockswork: because if it can, simply do that, go outside with your laptop and vcleaner and set it to full blow with the smallest nozzle you have. hold it about 30cm away from the openings of the laptop and blow in while moving the nozzle from left to right.
[11:41] <crazyb0y> spazm: irssi is based on bitchx =0
[11:41] <spazm> crazyb0y: I want cypress for irssi then :P
[11:41] <icewaterman> Clockswork: it'll blow out the dust without opening it.
[11:41] <ikonia> icewaterman: please stop this discussion
[11:41] <icewaterman> ikonia: why?
[11:41] <crazyb0y> spazm: it's possible if you are good in perl =P
[11:41] <ikonia> icewaterman: because it's nothing to do with ubuntu
[11:41] <icewaterman> ikonia: it works just fine
[11:42] <Clockswork> icewaterman: Allright thanks but lets do what ikonia says then :) Thanks alot :)
[11:42] <jamesish> crazyb0y: Yeah... I have FreeBSD running on servers and laptop, and ubuntu on my desktop. It' s all just posix at the end of the day. Aaaand I'm done offtopicing ;)
[11:42] <icewaterman> Clockswork: np
[11:42] <crazyb0y> jamesish: sorry i just said that in ubuntu it's apache2.conf... i didn't want to angry somebody =)
[11:42] <Clockswork> has any1 had any experience with updating bios for a Dell XPS m1530 inside Ubuntu?
[11:42] <spazm> crazyb0y: then it should be easier to get bx working... :P
[11:43] <GOOGLer> ok
[11:43] <ikonia> Clockswork: you can't
[11:43] <crazyb0y> spazm: use pastebin to paste me the rest of the output
[11:43] <icewaterman> ikonia: sure? dell has some suppport for updating bios in the kernel
[11:43] <spazm> ok sec
[11:43] <ikonia> icewaterman: it's not stable and supported
[11:44] <Clockswork> ikonia: I read yesterday on Dells blog that you can, I'm just very new to the updating bios scene so I dont want to jump into anything
[11:44] <ikonia> icewaterman: the process is to boot from remoable media as documented on he dell site
[11:44] <saywatmang> anyone know of a way to paste with quotes into a gnome-terminal... for example if im pasting a long url that contains & and such
[11:44] <gu4rdi4n> hi, how can it be that startx dont work because the module "nvidia" can not found, but at the same time "modprobe nvidia" load the module without problems?

[11:48] <ikonia> MatBoy: are you using stock/packaged drivers or drivers from nvidia.com
[11:48] <spazm> crazyb0y: not that I know... this one is the first I tried to compile manually...
[11:49] <jamesish> spazm: did you pass the configure stage?
[11:49] <spazm> jamesish: yeap... used --with-ssl and --enable-ipv6 as arguments
[11:49] <jorel> |Dreams|: "ps" see what are running
[11:49] <jamesish> spazm: can you try again without the arguments after a make clean?

[12:01] <Kelen> crazyb0y: so i just wanna know is it any way to share folder with command.
[12:01] <crazyb0y> Kelen: no
[12:01] <MatBoy> ikonia: stock as far as I know
[12:02] <velko> paul68, try gthumb. it has this feature iirc
[12:02] <spazm> crazyb0y: is gcc 4.2 too new? :P
[12:02] <MatBoy> just using  the packetmanager
[12:02] <crazyb0y> spazm: for bitchx yes =0
[12:02] <Kelen> crazyb0y: okay, thanks ..
[12:02] <ingsoc> Yes, no?
[12:03] <pajamian> ingsoc: I wouldn't recommend it, but the folks in #ubuntu+1 can probably tell you if it will work.
[12:03] <G__81> any clues here for Ubuntu 8.04 in Qemu ?
[12:03] <|Dreams|> ACPI: Unable to turn cooling device [ffff8100bac80380] 'on'
[12:03] <unitedpotsmokers> hello, if i want to install another OS with virtualbox, and it will create a new virtual driver. so it will create a new virtual drive using ubuntu partition or another partition on my hard drive? i afraid i will get a data lost with another partition..
[12:03] <|Dreams|> is that bad lol
[12:04] <velko> ingsoc, yes you can. but if it's not in the repositories (which is maybe the case) you have to compile it yourself. and if you are new to linux this might not be the thing you really want to do
[12:04] <unitedpotsmokers> hello, if i want to install another OS with virtualbox, and it will create a new virtual *drive*. so it will create a new virtual drive using ubuntu partition or another partition on my hard drive? i afraid i will get a data lost with another partition..
[12:04] <darkweasel> unitedpotsmokers, it won't destroy anything... it's a VIRTUAL drive
[12:05] <jamesish> ingsoc: if it does break things, and you have used the kernel's install mechanism to put it into grub, then you should be able to find your old kernel in grub and boot with that without any issues.
[12:05] <MrD1> hi can any one please help im trying to install ubuntu on another pc but after the ubuntu boot screen. the screen goes all fuzzy with with lines
[12:05] <ImmutableDark> holy shiz
[12:05] <unitedpotsmokers> thanks darkweasel , im done.. it will use a ubuntu partition..
[12:06] <ImmutableDark> omg
[12:06] <pajamian> MrD1: have you tried the alternate install CD?
[12:06]  * ImmutableDark puts hand on forehead
[12:06] <ImmutableDark> you people suck
[12:06] <pajamian> !op | ImmutableDark
[12:06] <MrD1> pajamian,  i did not know there was another one i downloaded it from the ubuntu home page
[12:07] <pajamian> MrD1: there is a checkbox for it ...
[12:07] <tritium> ImmutableDark: watch the attitude, please.
[12:07] <pajamian> !alternate | MrD1
[12:07] <ImmutableDark> I'm trying to

[12:07] <|Dreams|> http://paste.ubuntu.com/59657/
[12:07] <MrD1> pajamian, ok thanks il take a look
[12:07] <darkweasel> will i run into problems if i install windows on a computer where ubuntu is already installed on? if yes, can i fix them easily or will i have to reinstall ubuntu?
[12:08] <MrD1> pajamian, and thanks for the help
[12:08] <jamesish> |Dreams|: if that's an error log, you're in serious trouble buster.
[12:08] <pajamian> darkweasel: yes, because windows will overwrite grub on the master boot sector of your HDD but there is a way to easily fix it without having to reinstall ubuntu...
[12:08] <jamesish> |Dreams|: looks like a regular boot log to me.
[12:08] <pajamian> !grub | darkweasel
[12:09] <darkweasel> thanks!

[12:09] <|Dreams|> i dunno
[12:09] <|Dreams|> lol
[12:09] <|Dreams|> whatever ubuntu installed
[12:09] <ImmutableDark> |Dreams|, perhaps because for any given release of ubuntu it's conservatively safe to say  it will run like a snail on horse tranquilisers on anything less than 1G ram and 2G proc
[12:09] <|Dreams|> i have 3gb ram
[12:10] <|Dreams|> dual core 2ghz cpu
[12:10] <|Dreams|> ati 512mb grapics
[12:10] <ImmutableDark> hrm ok
[12:10] <|Dreams|> working fine last night
[12:10] <|Dreams|> now its like a slug
[12:10] <a1len> Is infrarecorder the best way to burn the ubuntu cd?
[12:10] <|Dreams|> even when i boot it takes ages
[12:10] <simmerz> any reason why Apache refuses to listen on ipv6? I have Listen 80 in /etc/apache2/ports.conf
[12:11] <ImmutableDark> does dmesg spew random new error data periodically?
[12:11] <drowner> hey guys - noobish question
[12:11] <simmerz> and if I try Listen [::]:80, I get: [Sun Oct 19 12:07:00 2008] [crit] (EAI 9)Address family for hostname not supported: alloc_listener: failed to set up sockaddr for ::
[12:11] <simmerz> ipv6 is enabled and ping6 ::1 works fine
[12:11] <drowner> I prefer the xfce desktop, however, for some reason anything but GNOME boots me out after about 30 - 60 minutes
[12:12] <drowner> Is there somewhere that the kernel or something will record the error message when sending me back to login?
[12:12] <ImmutableDark> |Dreams|, could you output your dmesg please to a file like this
[12:12] <unitedpotsmokers> before i install ubuntu, i created 2 partition.. 10gb ext3 partition and 512mb for swap files.. both are primary. but i saw ubuntu never used a swap partition and it is empty. should i delete a swap partition?
[12:12] <|Dreams|> ok
[12:12] <ImmutableDark> dmesg > blah.txt
[12:12] <ImmutableDark> then upload the file somewhere online
[12:12] <ImmutableDark> so I can take a quick look at it
[12:12] <andrew__> hey guys.. ive gotta little question about Kopete messenger.. it's not working properly for me.  anyone care to help me?
[12:13] <ImmutableDark> unitedpotsmokers, the conservative answer is no
[12:13] <ImmutableDark> this is basically how swap works
[12:13] <knoppix> hi
[12:13] <drowner> i know someone knows the answer to my question. I shall give you all a few minutes, if i have them :D
[12:13] <|Dreams|> http://paste.ubuntu.com/59659/
[12:13] <ImmutableDark> when you run out of ram the linux kernel maps memory to the hard disk in a swap partition
[12:14] <ikonia> !guidelines > ImmutableDark
[12:14] <lexrex> i have a network share that i mounted with smb, somehow during a file transfer the host went down now if i try to enter the mount point i get cannot access Aloadae: Host is down
[12:14] <|Dreams|> brb need gent
[12:14] <unitedpotsmokers> oh i see.. but why my swap partition is empty.. it is look linux didnt use it or we cant see in normal eyes?
[12:14] <unitedpotsmokers> ;P
[12:14] <lexrex> remounting doesn't help
[12:14] <pajamian> unitedpotsmokers: how are you determining that your swap is empty?
[12:15] <lexrex> the mount is in fstab
[12:15] <jamesish> ImmutableDark: I don't reckon it's swap.
[12:15] <jamesish> ImmutableDark: I reckon there's a background fsck happening.
[12:15] <jamesish> [  248.019476] EXT3-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is recommended
[12:15] <lexrex> my mount string is: //Aloadae/Volume_1 /media/Aloadae cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8,codepage=unicode,unicode 0 0
[12:15] <ImmutableDark> unitedpotsmokers, I'd keep some swap on the side
[12:15] <jamesish> ImmutableDark: unless linux *still* doesn't support background fsck.
[12:15] <ImmutableDark> like a gig
[12:15] <lexrex> any options?
[12:16] <andrew__> hey guys.. i've got a little problem... webcam won't work on Kopete messenger and I know it has something to do with NAPT on my router... but I just can't make it work and i've been trying for months
[12:16] <andrew__> can someone help?
[12:16] <ImmutableDark> I'm getting back to |Dreams|
[12:16] <pajamian> unitedpotsmokers: ImmutableDark: swap is used for more than just paging out RAM when it gets full.
[12:16] <lexrex> google doesn't help me on this one -- not sure how to start troubleshooting
[12:16] <simmerz> any reason why apache refuses to listen on ports using ipv6??
[12:17] <ImmutableDark> pajamian, I said basically
[12:18] <pajamian> unitedpotsmokers: try this command: free -m
[12:18] <pajamian> unitedpotsmokers: you should see the status of your swap with that.
[12:18] <unitedpotsmokers> erm.. i used a system monitor... i can see information of my system... sometimes it will use only 3-4% sometimes zero...
[12:18] <ImmutableDark> ok |Dreams| that's pretty weird
[12:18] <ImmutableDark> I'd take out all your non-essential cards take your ram out and put it back in
[12:19] <ImmutableDark> reboot
[12:19] <pajamian> unitedpotsmokers: if you're seeing 3-4% usage at times then it is working.  The fact that Linux doesn't have to use the swap a lot is a good thing.
[12:20] <unitedpotsmokers> thanks pajamian , i saw it..  swap total : 578332   used: 39796    free: 538536   thanks for help bro.. now i know the swap partition is working... :)
[12:20] <pajamian> unitedpotsmokers: yw
[12:20] <|Dreams|> me?
[12:20] <|Dreams|> i am using a laptop
[12:20] <paul68> velko: looking into it but can't seem to find this feature please advice
[12:21] <ImmutableDark> ... I've never owned a mac
[12:21] <ingsoc> Just installed 2.6.27-7.12kernel and now i load up to a textbased interface. I try startx and wont let me boot gnome. any suggestions?
[12:22] <unitedpotsmokers> i really hate to see windows GUI again, but i must to use them for emergency case...
[12:22] <drowner> ImmutableDark: i find them really annoying
[12:22] <|Dreams|> think i might just reinstall
[12:22] <|Dreams|> easier
[12:22] <ImmutableDark> |Dreams|, not if it's a hardware error
[12:23] <ingsoc> Any one?
[12:23] <tyberion> hmm little question, how would you adjust mplayer to always use ALSA sound, not pulse?
[12:23] <ImmutableDark> ingsoc, did you play around with your xorg.conf?
[12:23] <|Dreams|> if it doesnt work after that i will just send it back to the shop its still under warranty
[12:23] <methril|laptop> Hi
[12:23] <Dr_Willis> tyberion,  gmplayer has settings inits menus/control settings area for that.
[12:23] <ingsoc> Early tonight XDbout 6 horus ago
[12:23] <Dr_Willis> tyberion,  mplayer  with no gui. proberly has a config file
[12:24] <ImmutableDark> |Dreams|, yeah after that I'd recommend a reinstall
[12:24] <G__81> How do i start Virtual Box. I ve installed it
[12:24] <ImmutableDark> |Dreams|, there is no way you'd be able to troubleshoot a problem like that
[12:24] <ingsoc> how do i accsess it again?
[12:24] <velko> paul68, select files then go to "Edit->Rename"
[12:25] <ImmutableDark> ingsoc, xorg.conf?
[12:25] <|Dreams|> do u kno what the problem is? did that log give you any info?
[12:25] <ImmutableDark> does nano come with ubuntu?
[12:25] <ingsoc> and taht would affect the new kernel?
[12:25] <ingsoc> yeah it does
[12:25] <drowner> ImmutableDark: It does
[12:25] <UUoo_CN> i have a question: i have installed VirtualBOX on Ubuntu8.04, and setup Win2000 into VBox,  all ready,  VBox network set NAT, and win2000 is DHCP,  but win2000 can not visit Wlan.  pls help me, thanks
[12:25] <ImmutableDark> |Dreams|, I couldn't diagnose the problem apart from a couple of weird interrupt throws
[12:25] <ImmutableDark> it looks like a healthy dmesg
[12:25] <|Dreams|> oh ok
[12:25] <paul68> velko: grr I was looking under tools as help showed it was richt under my nose thanks
[12:26] <ziroday`> UUoo_CN: please ask in the virtualbox irc channel
[12:26] <ImmutableDark> nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:26] <|Dreams|> ok thanks
[12:26] <ImmutableDark> when you look at the output from running startx
[12:26] <UUoo_CN> thanks
[12:26] <shawn-p> Hi.  I was hoping to get some quick advice.  I'd like to develop an OpenGL application using GLUT.  I have a Radeon X800, and I have confirmed that 3D acceleration works.  However, the header file GL/gl.h does not exist.  Which packages should I install to get that header file?
[12:26] <ImmutableDark> try to see what the problem with your configuration is
[12:27] <ImmutableDark> ingsoc, failing that I'll give you a default xorg.conf that should work on any computer
[12:28] <lexrex> i can't connect to my samba share (cifs) i get the error 'host is down' any direction for troubleshooting this?
[12:28] <ingsoc> sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[12:28] <ImmutableDark> then you can troubleshoot it with your gui up and running
[12:28] <mitchell> hi all, does anyone know where i can find amarok 2 beta 2 deb files?
[12:29] <ImmutableDark> ingsoc, sorry I presumed you were logged in as root
[12:29] <ImmutableDark> in at least one of your vts
[12:29] <ingsoc> Heheh no need for sorry your the one helping remember XD
[12:29] <gaitte> hi all
[12:29] <newlife> Trying install Xmms - but says has been replaced - what would be app I need to install?
[12:29] <simmerz> anyone know why apache doesn't listen on ipv6??
[12:29] <Dr_Willis> !xmms
[12:29] <BlueEagle> paul68: I'm physically present, but rather hung over.
[12:30] <lexrex> is ubuntu 'ready' for real time, i am trying really hard to get this working, but it seems (a) there is no support and (b) the os is not mature for normal users like me -- i try to connect to my nas the only error i get is 'host is down' no other way to troubleshoot and i at least know my way around a computer
[12:30] <newlife> !xmms
[12:30] <Dr_Willis> xmms is dead. :) explore the alternatives.. I like bmpx
[12:30] <newlife> Dr_Willis: Have bmpx installed already will try that - thanks
[12:30] <paul68> BlueEagle: no problem my friend
[12:30] <gaitte> any1 can tell me how install athrusb (wifi from atheros) on hardy, 4 days now that i'm googling
[12:31] <BlueEagle> paul68: What can I do you for this afternoon?
[12:31] <lexrex> could someone give me advice on how to troubleshoot on ubuntu -- what options do i have with the smb share? this is all so cryptic
[12:32] <ImmutableDark> Dr_Willis, xmms rules
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> ImmutableDark,  amazing how i have managed to get along with out it...
[12:32] <ImmutableDark> you are mistaken
[12:32] <pajamian> lexrex: what is the problem you are having?
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> but the ghost of it still haunts us.
[12:32] <ImmutableDark> about a great many things
[12:32] <ingsoc> ? what is that
[12:32] <Dr_Willis> ImmutableDark,  dosent really matter..
[12:32] <gaitte> nobody knows?
[12:33] <lexrex> pajamian, i had a connection to a smb share, when i try to connect i get 'host is down'
[12:33] <ImmutableDark> ingsoc, backup your copy of xorg.conf
[12:33] <ImmutableDark> i.e. cp xorg.conf xorg.conf.backup
[12:33] <ImmutableDark> then copy over it with that
[12:33] <pajamian> lexrex: and you are sure that it isn't "down"?
[12:33] <ImmutableDark> I'm assuming your video card is vesa compatible
[12:33] <ImmutableDark> that configuration should get X up and running
[12:33] <ingsoc> nvidia
[12:33] <lexrex> the only thing that could have caused this is i was transfering files
[12:34] <simmerz> no one at all knows anything about ipv6 support in apache?
[12:34] <mr_lou> What's the default system-password for su after a clean installation? Is it impossible to access su because I chose to use sudo?
[12:34] <ingsoc> I have xrunnign just not in the new kernel,rebooted to my old one
[12:34] <lexrex> pajamian, yes, i am connected to it via my windows laptop
[12:34] <ImmutableDark> ingsoc, yeah ... it is :p
[12:34] <ingsoc> nioce
[12:34] <ortsvorsteher> mr_lou: the same password which you gave your default user
[12:34] <jrib> !root| mr_lou
[12:34] <pajamian> lexrex: well I am no samba expert, I can point you to the samba help guides, though and perhaps someone else can help you more than me.  Also you can try asking for help in #samba
[12:35] <pajamian> !smb | lexrex
[12:35] <mr_lou> Then something must have gone wrong, because that doesn't work.
[12:35] <lexrex> now i am screwed because i got matlab for linux and i am realizing that linux just doesn't seem to work on my laptop
[12:35] <mr_lou> But ok.
[12:35] <pajamian> lexrex: how else is it not working?
[12:35] <jrib> mr_lou: what doesn't work exactly?  And *how* is it not working exactly?
[12:35] <ImmutableDark> ingsoc, did you configure it yourself?
[12:35] <ImmutableDark> if so did you patch it correctly?
[12:36] <mr_lou> jrib: Password for default user just doesn't work for su.
[12:36] <mr_lou> Is there any easy way of giving my terminal a black background? I looked in .bashrc, but don't think the background is set in that file.
[12:36] <ImmutableDark> if not ubuntu sucks
[12:36] <jrib> mr_lou: that's not what ubottu said
[12:36] <ingsoc> just made a change to the screen setting
[12:36] <ImmutableDark> ah ok
[12:36] <Dr_Willis> mr_lou,  the gnome-terminal can have different colors. in its profiles
[12:36] <lexrex> pajamian, thanks suspend mode
[12:36] <jrib> mr_lou: edit -> current profile
[12:36] <ImmutableDark> good good
[12:36] <ImmutableDark> fixed = good
[12:36] <ImmutableDark> next problem
[12:36] <ingsoc> i think it was when i added a line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[12:36] <ImmutableDark>  /victim
[12:36] <mr_lou> Uuh, funky.
[12:36] <mr_lou> Thanks.
[12:37] <ImmutableDark> ingsoc, cool
[12:37] <mr_lou> Great. White on black. That's the one. :->
[12:37] <ingsoc> breaking more things tring to get my sound working then actually fixing
[12:37] <pajamian> lexrex: what is happening with suspend mode, then?
[12:37] <ImmutableDark> lol ingsoc what sound card?
[12:38] <mr_lou> jrib: Ubuntu just says "su: Authentication failure".
[12:38] <jrib> mr_lou: did you read what ubottu said?  There is no root password.  You can't su to root.  Use sudo instead
[12:38] <ImmutableDark> yeah anyway alsaconf is unforgiving
[12:38] <ImmutableDark> I know that
[12:38] <mr_lou> jrib: Right. That's what I asked. Thought I might could have both though.
[12:39] <ingsoc>  nVidia Corporation MCP51 High Definition Audio (rev a2)
[12:39] <lexrex> pajamian, that is the problem -- lots of things are intermittent (wireless, suspend, mounting shares) and i have no idea how to troubleshoot them -- i looked at your samba links and i used them to set things up
[12:39] <jrib> mr_lou: there's really no point.  You can do everything with sudo.  If you really think you need a root prompt, just run 'sudo -i', it's the same as 'su -'
[12:39] <lexrex> but no idea how to troubleshoot
[12:39] <edlv> how do i format my thumb drive?
[12:40] <jrib> !gparted | edlv
[12:40] <ingsoc> hoping the new kernel will help, seems alot of audio errors with the version im running. after 15....16 hours of workign on it i would love to sleep hapy tonight XD doubt it thoe
[12:40] <ImmutableDark> edlv fat32
[12:40] <mr_lou> jrib: Great! Thanks. Well, sometimes when I have to do a lot of stuff using root, it's nicer to not have to type sudo all the time. That's why.
[12:40] <paul68> BlueEagle: is there a way to create a script that installs all your programs with there specific settings on a fresh installation almost like a unattended setup without the touching the kernel?
[12:40] <ImmutableDark> it has the best cross compatibility
[12:40] <jrib> mr_lou: right, that's where 'sudo -i' comes in
[12:40] <pajamian> lexrex: google: troubleshooting samba
[12:40] <mr_lou> Ok
[12:41] <pajamian> mr_lou: you can get a root shell with: sudo -i
[12:41] <lexrex> o.k. will do -- but i am going to wait a couple days -- i have too much work to do to fiddle with this os
[12:41] <lexrex> windows just works
[12:41] <pajamian> lexrex: fair enough.
[12:41] <mr_lou> pajamian: Yes, I just learned. Thanks. :-)
[12:41] <lexrex> thanks for the direction though
[12:41] <mr_lou> "windows just works"? ... not in my appartment.
[12:42] <lillo> ciao
[12:42] <pajamian> mr_lou: and, yes, it is possible to assign a password to root and use the su command as well ... but that's not the "ubuntu way".
[12:42] <ImmutableDark> edlv, cfdisk /dev/sda1 or whatever device your thumbdrive defaults to
[12:42] <edlv> in windows, i right clicked and selected format. how do i format here?
[12:42] <fat_rat> !microsoft | lexrex
[12:42] <jrib> edlv: install and run gparted
[12:42] <ImmutableDark> edlv, you don't
[12:42] <mr_lou> pajamian: I understand. That's also why I chose to try out the sudo way. But I do need sudo -i sometimes when doing a lot of stuff at once.
[12:43] <pajamian> mr_lou: I understand, I use it a lot myself.
[12:43] <ImmutableDark> if you format fat32 I think you'll wind up having a 32 gig/mb cap
[12:43] <ImmutableDark> the fat32 fs can support up to 2TB of data
[12:44] <unitedpotsmokers> hi all.. i have an image file "NRG" how to convert this image file to ISO file?
[12:44] <mr_lou> Anyone using sharpfonts.com, and why?
[12:44] <ImmutableDark> dl proprietry software to do this and open up cmd
[12:44] <guntbert> mr_lou: are you managing a server?, other wise
[12:44] <Dr_Willis> unitedpotsmokers,  dependig on what it is. You can just mount it as if it was an .iso  the fuseiso  tool can mount them also i belive..
[12:44] <ImmutableDark> yeah
[12:44] <guntbert> mr_lou: are you managing a server?, other wise I couldn't  imagine doing *lots" as root
[12:44] <tdi_k> unitedpotsmokers: try nrg2iso
[12:45] <mr_lou> guntbert: No. I'll be using Ubuntu for desktop. Switching from Arch Linux. Mostly testing it this weekend. Will install 8.04 on a new computer tuesday I think.
[12:45] <mr_lou> guntbert: Well, I need to do geeky stuff sometimes...
[12:45] <ImmutableDark> mount whatever.nrg /mnt/cdrom -o loop
[12:45] <ImmutableDark> I think
[12:45] <unitedpotsmokers> ok.. thanks all..
[12:45] <jrib> !iso | unitedpotsmokers
[12:46] <ingsoc> Still no go
[12:46] <BlueEagle> paul68: I do not think Ubuntu supports that. There are distros that allow you to "save package selection", but they do not allow to save config.
[12:46] <ingsoc> When I boot up says tring to load image , cant so it start normal boot instead of gnome logonscreen
[12:46] <BlueEagle> paul68: So you would be looking at creating a custom script and patch the configuration files with your alterations.
[12:47] <TheFather> hy all
[12:47] <ImmutableDark> does ubuntu package kernels?
[12:47] <jrib> ImmutableDark: yes
[12:47] <BlueEagle> paul68: This would entail creating a list of the applications you want to install after installig ubuntu and creating diff-files for the configuration files you alter and then apply those diffs trough a series of patches.
[12:47] <ImmutableDark> ingsoc, did you compile the kernel yourself or did you download and install it?
[12:47] <guntbert> mr_lou: I see, doing geeky things implies you know what you're doing, so no further comments from me :)
[12:47] <ingsoc> Dloaded the kernel for the package manager
[12:48] <paul68> BlueEagle: correct
[12:48] <ingsoc> it installed stright after i dloaded
[12:48]  * ImmutableDark nudges ingsoc
[12:48] <mr_lou> guntbert: I still have a lot to learn, but I'm not a complete noob anymore. ;-)
[12:48] <ImmutableDark> it's probably a misconfiguration
[12:48] <ImmutableDark> revert to an older kernel
[12:48] <ingsoc> Thats what im on now
[12:49] <ImmutableDark> ingsoc, you don't really need a new kernel unless it's got a new feature you want or there is an exploit in a previous version of the kernel
[12:49] <ingsoc> but on this kernal i did somthing appently to make it boot stright to the text based so i log on then type startx and get my gmone working... that dont even work for the new kernel
[12:49] <paul68> or at least a script that installs for example konversation, quantaplus firefox with extentions and thunderbird to name a view applications
[12:49] <ingsoc> No sound.
[12:49] <ImmutableDark> have you run alsaconf?
[12:50] <pajamian> ingsoc: did you try to install an intrepid kernel or something?
[12:50] <ingsoc> from my understanding 2.6.24 has issues with my sound card
[12:50] <ImmutableDark> even if it fails it may tell you some info
[12:50] <ingsoc> pajamian got it from ubuntu website
[12:50] <ingsoc> http://packages.ubuntu.com/intrepid/base/linux-image-2.6.27-7-generic
[12:50] <paul68> BlueEagle: I know you can select them all through synaptic but it would be easier for me to launch a script that is checking if it excists in synaptic and install it , and indicates in a logfile which was succesfull and which not
[12:51] <pajamian> ingsoc: see the "intrepid" in that URL?
[12:51] <ingsoc> yeah
[12:51] <ingsoc> what taht mean
[12:51] <pajamian> ingsoc: that means that the kernel is for the 8.10 development version of ubuntu.  It is not considered stable.
[12:51] <pajamian> ingsoc: if you want help with it try asking in #ubuntu+1
[12:52] <paul68> BlueEagle: or after installing a small note that its succesfully installed before going on to the next
[12:52] <ingsoc> Thanks for your time , much appriated once again
[12:52] <ImmutableDark> yeah and if you want stability or it to run or for it to be easily configurable my recommendation is to use a different distribution of linux
[12:52] <ingsoc> Slackware?
[12:52] <ImmutableDark> lol that's what I use
[12:53] <ImmutableDark> ingsoc, whatever you want
[12:53] <ImmutableDark> arch linux is good
[12:53] <ingsoc> I just want things to work XD
[12:53] <paul68> BlueEagle: including also the restricted drivers and so on
[12:53] <ImmutableDark> yeah arch linux
[12:53] <pajamian> !ot | ImmutableDark
[12:54] <ingsoc> ...Well opn that note
[12:54] <ImmutableDark> :P
[12:55] <firestorm> Hi. My /etc/rc.local does not seem to be called, therefore I have to make changes to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh ... any ideas/thoughts?
[12:55] <firestorm> Hi. My /etc/rc.local does not seem to be called, therefore I have to make changes to /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh ... any ideas/thoughts?
[12:55] <jrib> firestorm: how are you determining that?
[12:55] <BlueEagle> paul68: Well, I'm no hero when it comes to bash scripting, but the prerequisites are: diff-file for sources.list to patch with. a list of applications to install, diff-files for all the configurations you wish to alter and then two loops. One which installs the files and one which patches the configs.
[12:55] <Dr_Willis> firestorm,  first guess.. you put your commands in rc.local after the 'exit' statement.. thus they never get ran.
[12:56] <paul68> BlueEagle: you said it my friend ;-)
[12:56] <ImmutableDark> check that it's executable
[12:56] <ImmutableDark> check that it's called from a script in your startup routine
[12:57] <firestorm> Dr_Willis: nope - putting them before the exit 0
[12:57] <ImmutableDark> ensure that it's in the proper script format
[12:57] <hypn0> has anyone installed flash 10 from adobe site, which version? there is a deb for ubuntu, then there is some apt thing for ubuntu too? which to get?
[12:57] <paul68> BlueEagle: or is there a some sort of howto for this kind a thing?
[12:57] <pajamian> firestorm: then the rc.local "service" got turned off somehow.
[12:57] <firestorm> jrib: was able to test with an ethtool statement to turn WOL on
[12:57] <Dr_Willis> firestorm,  :) spend an hr one day troubleshooting.. due to myself making that mistake...
[12:57] <firestorm> Dr_Willis: :-)
[12:58] <Dr_Willis> firestorm,  what commands re you running from rc.local?
[12:58] <ImmutableDark> see chmod && ls -l, see #!/bin/bash, if [-x rc.local]; then blah blah blah fi
[12:58] <jrib> firestorm: I would try something more simplistic like an echo statement somewhere.  Then you could determine if the issue was rc.local not being run or if that particular command is not having the desired effect there
[12:58] <firestorm> Dr_Willis: an ethtool command which works
[12:59] <BlueEagle> paul68: Are you familiar with any programming language at all?
[12:59] <pajamian> firestorm: run this command.  You should see four links that all start with S99: ls -la /etc/rc?.d/???rc.local
[12:59] <firestorm> jrib: no probs...checked that rc.local has an S in front of it so that it does run at startup
[13:00] <paul68> a little bit of php thats all and in bash scripting I'm still dreaming off getting this to work still a very big beginner here :-(
[13:01] <hypn0> the apt link doesn't seem to work, so will go for deb :-)
[13:02] <YusC> hello everyone
[13:02] <firestorm> pajamian: yup rc.local is set to run for the relevant runlevels (2,3,4,5)
[13:02] <mitchell> hi all can anyone help me with my webcam
[13:02] <aguitel> any ideas about site Source-O-Matic ?
[13:02] <YusC> may I ask something about vga problems during ubuntu insatllation?
[13:02] <pajamian> firestorm: what do you get with: ls -la /etc/rc.local?
[13:02] <mitchell> it is a buildt in acer orbicam
[13:02] <Dr_Willis> firestorm,  i was wonderinf if your command was changeing somthing - thta somthing else was changing back...
[13:02] <pajamian> !ask | YusC
[13:02] <jrib> aguitel: it's outdated.  Just use System -> Administration -> Software Sources
[13:02] <firestorm> pajamian: -rwxr-xr-x
[13:03] <BlueEagle> paul68: Well, if you know arrays and exec in php then you can create a php script to do this. This ofcourse requires you to install php prior to running your script which kind of defeats the purpouse of it. :)
[13:03] <firestorm> Dr_Willis: nah the command is not unset...get set in bootmisc but ignored in rc.local .. tried a few diff commands too
[13:03] <BlueEagle> paul68: I guess the best thing to do for you is to leard enough bash scripting to hack together such a script.
[13:04] <BlueEagle> paul68: or perl.
[13:04] <aguitel> jrib, i cannot check (in software sources) important security updates (hardy security )
[13:04] <paul68> BlueEagle: was afrraid you are going to bring this up going back to the roots oeps books that is :-)
[13:04] <jrib> aguitel: why?  What happens when you try?
[13:05] <YusC> Okay, I having some trouble installing ubuntu on my laptop. It has a KM400 VIA chipset onboard, which is always causing me trouble when installing linux. Previously I had Debian running, and since a year or so I switched back to Windows. However, I thought of installing Ubuntu on it now, and the normal installation CD does not work at all, and the alternative CD starts installation, but then after pressing "Install Ubuntu" it switches to some weird video
[13:05] <aguitel> jrib, remains in blank
[13:05] <jrib> firestorm: redirect the output somewhere so you can look at it
[13:05] <jrib> aguitel: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list
[13:05] <xukun> is there a way to enable my ati x300 tv-out?
[13:05] <aguitel> jrib, ok
[13:06] <pajamian> YusC: use the alternate install CD
[13:06] <pajamian> !alternate | yusc
[13:07] <YusC> ubottu & pajamian: I already have the alternate CD now
[13:07] <YusC> and that one is also causing trouble
[13:07] <scuser> hi all, is there any alternative to the option pwcheck_method:... in the slapd.conf file ?
[13:07] <xukun> !tv-out
[13:07] <aguitel> jrib, http://pastebin.com/d345ac62b
[13:08] <xb> hi, i've got 2 separate HD, one contains Vista on the second I'd like to install ubuntu, where should be the ubuntu's boot loader installed ?
[13:08] <homy> hi. I created a new mime type. How can I set its icon?
[13:09] <dave_> xb install grub on vista partition/HD
[13:09] <jrib> aguitel: you have security
[13:09] <firestorm> jrib: i put in a /bin/sh -x in the /etc/init.d/rc.local as well as do an 'echo 1 > /tmp/test.txt' .. the rc.local run with '-x' shows + printf fail
[13:09] <firestorm> fail+ /usr/bin/tput op
[13:09] <aguitel> jrib, do you think the file sources.list is ok ?
[13:10] <jrib> aguitel: looks fine.  You have duplicate -security lines.  That may be what's confusing the gui
[13:10] <gnari> hello. after upgrade to hardy (i think that is when it started) the user cannot read photos to a canon connected to usb anymore.
[13:10] <YusC> Whenever the text based installer starts (this blue/gray/red screen), my video card reacts very strange. It's completely unreadable, and I remember having this trouble before. I also remember that the Debian installer had something like "novga" or "safe vga" mode, or whatsoever. Unfortunately, I cannot find such an option in the Ubuntu installer. Maybe I can add something to the boot options line?
[13:10] <aguitel> jrib, thanks
[13:10] <gnari> it seems the user does not have read/write acess to the usbdevice
[13:11] <homy> It must be possible to set the icon for a new mimetype!
[13:11] <gnari> does anyone have any idea how to debug this?
[13:11] <gnari> we tried both gthumb under kde (what we always did) and fspot under gnome
[13:12] <mr_lou> I need to set a locale in my terminal. Would /etc/rc.local be the right place to do that?
[13:13] <scuser> how to redirect simple bind authentication is redirected to saslauthd ?
[13:13] <crazyb0y> mr_lou: you mean locales ?
[13:13] <gnari> it worked using gksu gthumb, but i would rather run it as the usual user
[13:13] <homy> How do I set the icon for a mime type
[13:13] <YusC> anyone?
[13:13] <jrib> homy: you may have to edit your icon theme
[13:13] <mr_lou> crazyb0y: Yes. I have a java file with ISO8859-1, which javac complains about because my terminal isn't ISO8859-1
[13:13] <homy> jrib: how do I do that?
[13:13] <abstortedminds> When is OpenOffice3 going to hit the repositories, its in freebsd ones already
[13:14] <crazyb0y> mr_lou: dpkg-reconfigure locales
[13:14] <murlidhar> gnari: did you try to manually mount the usbdisk ?
[13:14] <gnari> it is not a usbdisk
[13:14] <jrib> homy: art.gnome.org has a tutorial on themes.  Just copy the one you currently use, give it a new name, edit it using the tutorial as a guide, then put it in ~/.themes/ and select it in Appearance Preferences
[13:14] <murlidhar> gnari: then ?
[13:15] <gnari> canon cameras do not appear as usbdisk
[13:15] <homy> jrib: oh. What I really want is that a .deb, when it is installs, automatically adds a new icon for its new file mimetype.
[13:15] <gnari> the software in gthumb and fspot recognize the usbdevice allright, just permissions are lacking
[13:15] <mr_lou> crazyb0y: Thanks, but it gives me UTF-8. I need to change it manually then I guess.
[13:16] <murlidhar> gnari: try opening gthumb using sudo gthumb
[13:16] <jrib> homy: do you know of an existing package that does this?
[13:16] <homy> jrib: no.
[13:16] <crazyb0y> mr_lou: export LANG="..."
[13:16] <homy> jrib: but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist...
[13:16] <xukun> can somebody please help me configure the tv-out of my ati x300?
[13:16] <gnari> murlidhar, i did try that but gthumb did not open. with gksu gthumb it worked, but i would prefer use normal user
[13:17] <jrib> homy: right, well as I see it, it's up to the icon theme to provide an icon for a mimetype
[13:17] <crazyb0y> mr_lou: or edit your /etc/locale.alias
[13:17] <gnari> murlidhar, otherwise the images saved are all owned by root
[13:17] <gnari> murlidhar, i was thinking there must be some group the user must belong to, but i dont know what one
[13:18] <murlidhar> gnari: google it :)
[13:18] <gnari> ok.
[13:18] <murlidhar> !usergroup | gnari
[13:18] <murlidhar> !users | gnari
[13:18] <unitedpotsmokers> hello, here is the problem i had with virtualbox when i want to install another OS.. "VirtualBox kernel driver not installed. The vboxdrv kernel module was either not loaded or /dev/vboxdrv was not created for some reason. Please install the virtualbox-ose-modules package for your kernel, e.g. virtualbox-ose-modules-generic.."
[13:19] <gnari> i will research some more. i may come cack to this channel later today if i have no luck
[13:19] <murlidhar> gnari: sure
[13:19] <jrib> unitedpotsmokers: did you install that package it mentions?
[13:19] <mr_lou> crazyb0y: Values in /etc/locale.alias are correct.
[13:19] <crazyb0y> unitedpotsmokers: aptitude search virtualbox-ose-modules
[13:19] <crazyb0y> and then install modules for your kernel
[13:20] <crazyb0y> unitedpotsmokers: aptitude install virtualbox-ose-modules-$(uname -r)

[13:21] <Xang> !hello | gregg
[13:21] <xman> hey guys i need your help, i installed Windows XP after installing vista but now i am not able to boot vista but i can boot in Windows XP??????????
[13:22] <le_mischa> xman: this is not a windows support-channel.
[13:22] <mr_lou> Note to self: Clicking X closes xchat. It does not minimize it.
[13:22] <crazyb0y> xman: you should add the correct hd in your grub
[13:22] <gregg> hehe
[13:22] <xman> le_mischa i know that but no one is reponding in #windows
[13:22] <unitedpotsmokers> sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose-modules-$unitedpotsmokers -r   <-- did i type correct?
[13:22] <crazyb0y> unitedpotsmokers: no
[13:22] <illumini> xman, there's dual boot walkthroughs available. try google
[13:22] <xman> crazyb0y there is no ubuntu installed in my laptop dude
[13:23] <hypn0> mr_lou: I'm sure there is a pref for it somewhere
[13:23] <crazyb0y> unitedpotsmokers: aptitude install virtualbox-ose
[13:23] <murlidhar> xman: can you be a bit more specific. is vista installed right now ?
[13:23] <crazyb0y> xman: sorry then =)
[13:23] <jrib> unitedpotsmokers: no.  Just use: sudo aptitude install virtualbox-ose-modules
[13:23] <crazyb0y> here is ubuntu channel
[13:23] <crazyb0y> not windows help =))
[13:23] <xman> murlidhar yes vista is installed
[13:23] <gregg> illumini.. have you tried changing the settings in Xorg.conf?
[13:23] <unitedpotsmokers> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root?
[13:23] <illumini> gregg, xorg.conf scares me
[13:23] <crazyb0y> xman: go ask support.microsoft.com =))))
[13:23] <crazyb0y> unitedpotsmokers: with ROOT!
[13:23] <crazyb0y> unitedpotsmokers: sudo aptitude install ...
[13:24] <illumini> I can edit it using sudo, but I'd like to install displayconfig-gtk but am having major issues (i'm inexperienced)
[13:24] <gregg> meh.. she´s not that bad. jut be sure to back it up first
[13:24] <mr_lou> hypn0: Yea, searching for it. Inserting a LOCALE line in /etc/rc.local didn't help. I had the same issue with Arch way back, but of course can't remember what I did back then. :->
[13:24] <ompaul> unitedpotsmokers, do you have more than one apt-get or synaptic session on the go?
[13:24] <mathew_> how do you make ISO image of a DVD?
[13:24] <illumini> gregg, will do. is there an apm for displayconfig-gtk? that would be ideal
[13:24] <murlidhar> xman: i can't help you then if isn't related to linux let alone ubuntu . i am sorry cuz i really don't know much about windows
[13:24] <gregg> iḿ not sure what displayconfig-gtk is so can´t really advise you there
[13:24] <crazyb0y> ompaul: he is just not root
[13:24] <ompaul> unitedpotsmokers, or did you use sudo ;-)
[13:24] <illumini> mathew_, with an 'image DVD burning' software
[13:24] <crazyb0y> he must use sudo =)
[13:25] <gregg> but if you head into xorg. you can set the default depth to something more suitable
[13:25] <mathew_> dd will not work?
[13:25] <illumini> I'll open it up now and see
[13:25] <unitedpotsmokers> yes.. i used sudo now...

[13:28] <gregg> hey ari..
[13:28] <mr_lou> hypn0: I need to set a LOCALE in my terminal somehow, so that when I try to compile a java source with javac, it doesn't give me warnings about unrecognizeable characters.
[13:29] <mr_lou> Maybe the LOCALE line in /etc/rc.local does the trick, and I only need to reboot....
[13:29] <mr_lou> I'll try that. brb
[13:29] <scuser> how to redirect simple bind authentication to saslauthd ?
[13:29] <shawn-p> help:  "uname -r" reports "2.6.22-15-generic", but the only directories in /usr/src are linux-headers-2.6.22-14 and linux-headers-2.6.22-14-generic
[13:29] <shawn-p> I'm not sure what happened. :(
[13:31] <YusC> okay, I found out that my installation will start with the "vga=771" parameter....
[13:31] <YusC> however, i do not know what that means
[13:32] <illumini> note to self: do not log out from active session when connecting to a headless server in the ceiling...
