[03:25] <DonL> what? truck.com?
[03:25] <vader1102> nope...18 wheelers
[03:25] <DonL> lol, good for you!
[03:25] <tovella> i love ubuntulinux.  all it needs is a free thin version - for modest hardware.
[03:25] <r2d4> knoppix: It's an OS emulator for other OS. Google for it.
[03:26] <DonL> tovella, I thought we had that with Ubuntu
[03:26] <r2d4> knoppix: for example you can run Ubuntu while you are still in Windows or vice versa.
[03:26] <patrickj> anyone know any good games that work with ubuntu, and arent installed default
[03:26] <tovella> DonL: i mean something small like 100MB
[03:27] <ChurcH_of_FoamY> ok that was really odd
[03:27] <vader1102> my spotter walked away from the truck I was working on and something happened with it, causing it to roll off of the ramps. tranny on knees and messed my back up as well so here i Isit teaching myself about pc's
[03:27] <ed1t> hybrid, alright...about to go to bed....got work tomorrow :(
[03:27] <DonL> Ah. Okay, Don't know the minimum on this system
[03:27] <hybrid> patrickj: lincity = simcity freecraft
[03:27] <darkmatter> tovella, you can just install as a 'server' then fetch only the packages you need (fluxbox, window maker, whatever)
[03:28] <DonL> vader1102, Hope you recover
[03:28] <eazel7> hi ppl
[03:28] <ChurcH_of_FoamY> i installed the i686 kernal and rebooted well the system hung hard core and so i killed the power and rebooted hit esc to enter the boot menu and there are 2 i686 kernals in there the first one dosen't work and the second one does O_o what gives?
[03:28] <hybrid> freecraft is good patrickj
[03:28] <vader1102> I have but will never get the release to work on vehicles again
[03:28] <vader1102> :(
[03:28] <patrickj> freecraft?
[03:29] <tovella> darkmatter: thanks for the info.  i refurbish used PCs for low-income kids. sometimes getting decent hardware is tricky - no 501 (c) (3), yet.
[03:29] <DonL> ChurcH_of_FoamY, In all the time I've played with a Unix like OS, rebooting at the wrong time pretty much killed everything
[03:29] <ChurcH_of_FoamY> hmm ok but why would there be 2 listings in grub for i686
[03:29] <patrickj> what kind of game is freecraft?
[03:29] <ChurcH_of_FoamY> even the recovery mode has 2 listings
[03:29] <darkmatter> tovella, just a sec. there's a how to on the forums. just let me find the link
[03:30] <DonL> ChurcH_of_FoamY, not so much rebooting, but turning off the power
[03:30] <ChurcH_of_FoamY> you think thats what did it?
[03:30] <vader1102> tovella: that's what O do most days....volunteer at a place that sells the p2 and p3 for under $100.00 and 15" monitors for $15.00
[03:30] <vader1102> I^^
[03:30] <vader1102> has been a great learning tool
[03:31] <darkmatter> tovella, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=42873
[03:31] <DonL> ChurcH_of_FoamY, maybe there's a way out, but for me, it was always a total re-install
[03:31] <darkmatter> tovella, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallUbuntuOnLowMemorySystems
[03:31] <tovella> vader1102: that's really great.  there's a place here in new york that sells them for 245-299.  i believe it to be a scam, so i started my own non-profit.
[03:31] <ChurcH_of_FoamY> well i'm using the i686 kernal now (the second listing of it(non recovery mode) and it works just fine >.<
[03:31] <poningru> does ubuntu automatically accomodate for the daylight savings time thing?
[03:31] <tovella> darkmatter: thanks for the link.
[03:32] <darkmatter> tovella, np
[03:32] <DonL> Apparently Unix like operating systems don't like to be turned off when they're in the middle of doing something
[03:32] <ChurcH_of_FoamY> it just i don't understand why there would be double listings for the same damn kernal
[03:32] <hybrid> DonL: heh
[03:32] <poningru> so anyone?
[03:32] <vader1102> tovella: that's awsome dud.... I love what I do, gives me a good feelinginside when you see a family in need get something that they really need
[03:32] <vader1102> dude
[03:33] <DonL> poningru, yes it does
[03:33] <vader1102> geeeeez my fingers
[03:33] <poningru> so is it simple to change when ubuntu does it?
[03:33] <poningru> basically the US gov is changing it ahead 2 months
[03:34] <DonL> poningru,  the time change is handled automatically if you have your region set up properly
[03:34] <Amaranth> DonL: Ha!
[03:34] <ChurcH_of_FoamY> Seveas you there?
[03:34] <DonL> poningru, nobody knows about that yet
[03:34] <Amaranth> DonL: You have any idea wrong that is?
[03:35] <Amaranth> DonL: Any bit of code that deals with DST that isn't just reading the time from the OS needs to be changed.
[03:35] <tovella> vader1102: agreed.  i also hope to do something else really special.  most first timers have some difficulty installing a PC - all the cables & whatnot.  i thought i could just give them the computer for free, and charge about $60 for delivery and installation with some training, of course.
[03:35] <Amaranth> DonL: And every OS on the planet that handles DST needs to be fixed.
[03:35] <DonL> Amaranth, I guess that will have to happen
[03:35] <poningru> so do we have any planes to do that?
[03:36] <Amaranth> poningru: Wha?
[03:36] <mgcross> hmmm...got the backports mirror going, but all the updates are marked NOT AUTENTICATED
[03:36] <patrickj> I installed lincity but it doesnt show up in any of the menus!
[03:36] <DonL> poningru, it hasn't even been finalized yet. Why worry?
[03:36] <Amaranth> mgcross: Don't worry about it.
[03:36] <poningru> DonL: because its good to be prepared?
[03:36] <mgcross> I take it the fail I'm seeing is the GPG key...any ideas why?
[03:36] <icarus> anybody got a lifetime to help me?
[03:36] <DonL> poningru, it's not like the end of the world or anything
[03:36] <patrickj> i ran from term
[03:37] <ka234> how do I see which linux kernel I have?
[03:37] <Amaranth> I wonder how many people here knew how bad the Y2K issue really was...
[03:37] <mgcross> Amaranth: anything going to break (not because of NOT AUTH) if I update using backports?
[03:37] <crimsun> ka234: which one you're running? uname -r
[03:37] <vader1102> tovells: what we do is send them home with a printed manual with pics and all of that showing them what they need to do, and we also show them how to do it all on the pc they buy when they buy it... we also sell them with our own distro of linux
[03:37] <Amaranth> mgcross: No, things won't break because of NOT AUTH
[03:37] <Amaranth> mgcross: They will probably break for other reasons but NOT AUTH is fine
[03:37] <poningru> Amaranth: I wonder how many people realize how bad the 2039 problem is?
[03:38] <ka234> excellent, thanks crimsun!
[03:38] <poningru> wait nm that isnt a problem anymore
[03:38] <mgcross> Amaranth: anything going to break  if I update using backports? Not because of authentication, simply by using backports?
[03:38] <poningru> because we will all switch to 64 bit by then
[03:38] <Amaranth> poningru: I'm sure we'll all be on 64-bit systems by then.
[03:38] <Amaranth> mgcross: Possibly.
[03:38] <poningru> 0.o
[03:38] <darkmatter> tovella, that's a very admirable cause. I've been looking into the viability of switching the elementary schools out here to Ubuntu.
[03:38] <poningru> perhaps I should have included the <sarcasm>
[03:38] <hybrid> darkmatter; edubuntu
[03:39] <mgcross> Amaranth: lol! sho I should pick and choose and not do a blanket update using backports then?
[03:39] <tovella> vader1102: that's really great, too - using linux.  is your disto available for download?  i'd like to play with it.
[03:39] <mgcross> *so
[03:39] <Amaranth> mgcross: Yeah, that'd be a good idea. :)
[03:39] <DonL> hybrid, good thought. I forgot about that
[03:39] <darkmatter> hybrid, yep.
[03:39] <mgcross> Amaranth: Thanks O wise one...apreciate it!
[03:39] <vader1102> yes, but it automagically wipes the hard drive... will get you the download page tomorrow, it is in sourceforge somewhere
[03:40] <tovella> darkmatter: perhaps you may be interested in freeduc-cd.  it's targeted as an educational distro for primary school kids.
[03:40] <DonL> vader1102, what is it you are talking about?
[03:41] <darkmatter> tovella, got a link?
[03:41] <tovella> darkmatter: just a sec.
[03:41] <vader1102> a version of Linux we use where I volunteer to put on refurbed pc's for the inder-privaleged
[03:41] <mgcross> Amaranth: do you know if the firefox update with the normal mirrors has been fixed? Opening history was causing a segfault 'till I downgraded
[03:41] <vader1102> under^^
[03:41] <DonL> vader1102, sorry, I didn't understand
[03:41] <Amaranth> mgcross: Firefox in hoary and the official version are both broken, see topic.
[03:41] <Amaranth> mgcross: Blame the mozilla guys. ;)
[03:41] <tovella> darkmatter: http://www.ofset.org/freeduc-cd  it's a live cd.
[03:42] <darkmatter> tovella: thanks
[03:42] <tovella> darkmatter: np.
[03:42] <mgcross> Amaranth: smacks forehead - I'll read the topic from now on....<sheepish grin>
[03:42] <DonL> Amaranth, I just got a new FF in my updates yesterday. Is that broken?
[03:43] <trevi> kiui
[03:43] <Amaranth> DonL: I dunno, I've been without Ubuntu for 2 days now.
[03:43] <mgcross> DonL: yup...broken :-(
[03:44] <crimsun> DonL: some people have problems with it, yes. I've had no problems with it, but I (1) don't use any extensions ; (2) removed ~/.mozilla prior to starting the updated version.
[03:44] <ChurcH_of_FoamY> turns out i forgot to disable backports >.<
[03:45] <Amaranth> crimsun: If you don't have any extensions why not just use epiphany?
[03:45] <Amaranth> ChurcH_of_FoamY: Backports has a kernel?!?!?!?
[03:45] <tovella> got some business to tend to.   ...later all.
[03:45] <mgcross> DonL: I use extensions and all seemed well 'till I tried to open "history" segfaulted..nothing else seemed fuccowed tho...
[03:45] <DonL> I had a problem with pdf's and nothing worked so i downloaded another pdf vier tha tworks
[03:45] <ChurcH_of_FoamY> Amaranth thats the only thing i can think of that make sence
[03:45] <crimsun> Amaranth: I don't like Epiphany.
[03:45] <vader1102> DonL: what I do is volunteer where we refurbish pc's for the underprivaleged and we have our own version of linux based on Debian... the download is on sourceforge and I will give tovella the url for the download for it tomorrow when I get homeis all I was saying lol
[03:46] <vader1102> brb
[03:46] <DonL> crimson, maybe that's what I should have done. Delete the old
[03:46] <crimsun> Galeon in the 1.2.x days was great.
[03:46] <zone17> Hi, if I want to download, with apt, the source of for example mozilla-firefox, how do I do that?
[03:47] <crimsun> zone17: sudo apt-get source mozilla-firefox
[03:47] <crimsun> s/sudo//
[03:47] <zone17> crimsun, thanks! :-)
[03:47] <Amaranth> ChurcH_of_FoamY: Nope, no kernel.
[03:47] <cartel_> hey all where can i get helixplayer 1.0.5 for ubuntu? the ver in ubuntu now 1.0.1 has a security vuln
[03:47] <hybrid> cartel_: backports
[03:47] <zone17> crimsun, is it then placed in /usr/src?
[03:47] <hybrid> !backports
[03:47] <ubotu> I heard backports is http://backports.ubuntuforums.org | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBackports
[03:48] <crimsun> zone17: cwd
[03:48] <superh> I've got a quick question, for anyone who might have any ideas, I've seen this mentioned searching on the forums a bit but I haven't seen any solutions: I've just got 5.4 installed, my sound hardware is detected but the volume is incredibly low. The levels are all at full in the panel and it's a laptop, so I can't very well turn up any knobs for volume... I'm at a loss eh
[03:49] <ChurcH_of_FoamY> Amaranth than how the heck do i have dual kernals for i686 then? O_o
[03:49] <crimsun> superh: tail -2 /proc/asound/oss/sndstat
[03:49] <Amaranth> ChurcH_of_FoamY: one is SMP?
[03:49] <ChurcH_of_FoamY> Amaranth nada
[03:49] <mrd`> Are Breezy Live CDs only provided for AMD64 now?
[03:49] <Amaranth> ChurcH_of_FoamY: *shrug*
[03:49] <DonL> superh, I've not got a laptop, but in my experience, there are lots of programs in the system that use volume, and one of them is probably turned down
[03:49] <mrd`> (The daily generated ones.)
[03:49] <ChurcH_of_FoamY> ditto
[03:49] <vader1102> crimsum: in english forme please, I am having the same prob
[03:49] <Amaranth> mrd`: The daily CDs fail to build all the time.
[03:50] <darkmatter> ubotu, that servers overloaded. http://ubuntu-backports.mirrormax.net/
[03:50] <ubotu> Wish i knew, darkmatter
[03:50] <Amaranth> mrd`: Maybe today only AMD64 actually built a full Live CD.
[03:50] <Chalma> I finally got my linux working but it never asked me to make my partitions for fat32
[03:50] <ChurcH_of_FoamY> i see what happend
[03:50] <mrd`> Amaranth: What would cause i386 to not have been built?
[03:50] <Chalma> I was going to use "mkdosfs -F 32 -n shareddrive" but how do I specify the size?
[03:50] <ChurcH_of_FoamY> i have 2 diffrent versions of the i686 kernal installs
[03:51] <Chalma> I want it to be 40GB for the fat32 shareddrive
[03:51] <Amaranth> mrd`: Well, the fact that breezy is highly broken and unstable might have something to do with it. :)
[03:51] <vader1102> my sound will not allow me to crank it though so it may not be the same
[03:51] <DonL> Amaranth, Ahh You live dangerously!
[03:51] <zone17> crimsun, why do you ref to working directory?
[03:51] <Amaranth> DonL: I'm not even on Ubuntu right now, my HD crashed. :/
[03:52] <Amaranth> DonL: But up until the crash I was up-to-date on breezy. :D
[03:52] <mrd`> Amaranth: But the packages aren't all rebuilt everyday just for the Live CDs, are they?
[03:52] <DonL> Amaranth, I hate when that happens
[03:52] <cartel_> thanks for the backports link
[03:52] <ChurcH_of_FoamY> i686 2.6.10 and i686 2.6.11
[03:52] <mrd`> Amaranth: Or are you refering to dependency problems?
[03:52] <darkmatter> Amaranth, ouch...
[03:52] <Amaranth> mrd`: something like that
[03:52] <DonL> Amaranth, was breezy good?
[03:52] <Amaranth> DonL, darkmatter: The really bad part is that I lost all my work on Smeg 0.8
[03:52] <mrd`> DonL: If you can stand everything breaking daily. :)
[03:53] <Amaranth> it looked really nice though
[03:53] <Amaranth> http://www.realistanew.com/nautilus2.png
[03:53] <DonL> I've lost so much I don't really worry too much about it anymore. Mind you, since discovering Ubuntu, I now have a system I would like to keep
[03:53] <mrd`> Er, I didn't have all those problems just now---I meant in the time since I started using Breezy, a few months ago.
[03:53] <darkmatter> Amaranth, damn, I was looking forward to that:( Oh well, just going to have to wait...
[03:54] <Amaranth> darkmatter: yeah, i lost a month of work and i start college soon...
[03:54] <Amaranth> darkmatter: so it might not happen at all
[03:54] <Kyral> Amaranth, where?
[03:54] <darkmatter> Amaranth, :(
[03:54] <Amaranth> just some tech school
[03:54] <Kyral> I love college
[03:54] <Kyral> going into my Sophomore year
[03:54] <Amaranth> all the stuff listed on http://www.realistanew.com/nautilus2.png is what i was working on and have now lost
[03:55] <Amaranth> yay
[03:55] <Kyral> how?
[03:55] <Amaranth> HD overheated
[03:55] <poningru> dude that sucks
[03:55] <Kyral> O_O
[03:55] <poningru> can you recover?
[03:56] <darkmatter> Amaranth: Nautilus too?
[03:56] <Kyral> how the **** does a HD overheat?
[03:56] <Amaranth> darkmatter: haha, no
[03:56] <Amaranth> Kyral: you put 2 of them next to eat other and wait
[03:56] <poningru> I had a question, are there any plans to change the default theme of ubuntu?
[03:56] <Kyral> uhh, I have that
[03:56] <Amaranth> Kyral: they are more than just spinning disks
[03:56] <Kyral> and......its not overheating
[03:56] <Amaranth> s/eat/each/
[03:57] <poningru> the brown is kinda lame
[03:57] <Amaranth> yeah, my HDs get really hot
[03:57] <Amaranth> poningru: no
[03:57] <Kyral> then again, I have like 4 fans in my case
[03:57] <Amaranth> poningru: it may seem lame but it does work
[03:57] <Kyral> 3 80mms and 1 Slot Fan
[03:57] <poningru> well I know it works
[03:57] <Kyral> and an 80mm CPU fan
[03:57] <poningru> so do other themes
[03:57] <poningru> I mean brown is just ugly
[03:57] <G|immer> hello all
[03:57] <DonL> dinner time for me. Night all
[03:57] <darkmatter> Kyral: You need more fans:D
[03:57] <Amaranth> it's not ugly, that's a matter of opinion
[03:58] <Amaranth> clearlooks-deepsky is even tinted a tan/brown color
[03:58] <poningru> yeah shared opinion of so many people
[03:58] <poningru> brb
[03:58] <Kyral> darkmatter, I thats all my case can hold :P
[03:58] <Chalma> I just installed ubuntu and am getting used to the commands, I forgot to make a fat32 partition so I want to do one now, the fat32 part. will be called "shareddrive" and I want it to be 40GB, may I ask what the command for that would be?
[03:58] <darkmatter> Kyral: Bigger case?
[03:59] <G|immer> how to restore the functionality where if i click on a URL in GAIM for example, the URL is opened in firefox? Currently when I click, nothing happens. It used to work before.

[04:22] <robert__> someone who knows howto 'convert' ubuntu system language from one to another ? I did install my language pack (sv, swedish) and configured 'dpkg-reconfigure locales' then removed the english one, but its not working. Please someone who knows "howto" ?
[04:22] <ryno_> np
[04:22] <thoreauputic> patrickj: Mark Shuttleworth is behind it
[04:22] <knoppix> vander1102  Yeah, it would be great to understand all of this, but I can only work on a little bit at a time.
[04:22] <patrickj> Thats his name lol, I forgot it
[04:22] <ryno_> i need network help
[04:22] <patrickj> is he EVER in here?
[04:22] <paladin2> I just popped in to lurk, but I've got to say I came over from Windoze not too long ago, and I love Ubuntu.  Never go back...
[04:22] <thoreauputic> patrickj: sometimes, and sometimes in #ubuntu-devel
[04:23] <ryno_> need my mp3s lol
[04:23] <patrickj> cool
[04:23] <patrickj> is lfs any good compares to this?
[04:23] <ryno_> cant find nothing on the forums
[04:23] <thoreauputic> paladin2: welcome to Freedom :)
[04:23] <warty_> hi guys
[04:23] <ryno_> anyone know how to start samba or nfs
[04:23] <spyguitar> yup, ryno, that did it. thanks again.
[04:23] <ryno_> np
[04:24] <ryno_> glad to help heh
[04:24] <ryno_> only been at it for bout 3 months now
[04:24] <thoreauputic> ryno_: sudo invoke-rc.d <service>
[04:24] <paladin2> heheh... thanx!  'Twas my brother in-law's doing.  Can't wait for the next release - and for the AMD64 to work properly.  Too many problems, I went back to 386
[04:24] <warty_> I've got an interesting situation, I don't think it will be very hard to fix:
[04:24] <thoreauputic> ryno_: or sudo /etc/init.d <service> start|stop etc
[04:25] <knoppix> Zack  So, what package managewr are you useing now?
[04:25] <warty_> this computer has a messed up fs, so messed up I can't load far enough to run fsck, so I've loaded up a live cd
[04:25] <thoreauputic> ryno_: oh, same start|stop
[04:25] <warty_> how do I run fsck on the hard drive, which isn't loading?
[04:25] <thoreauputic> ryno_: sorry same for invoke-rc.d ( the start| stop etc)
[04:26] <paladin2> Actually, maybe some of you can help.  I've been wanting for some time to digitize some video footage - should I use Kino for this?  Any other suggestions?  How difficult is it to capture with sound...?
[04:26] <warty_> if fsck doesn't work, then I think I pretty much have to do a reinstall...I'd prefer of course to do that as a last resort
[04:26] <ryno_> unknown on both those
[04:26] <Octane> is ther ea program i can use to open up an rpm file
[04:26] <paladin2> alien
[04:27] <Octane> not to install
[04:27] <Octane> to open
[04:27] <paladin2> oops
[04:27] <Octane> i wanna extract one file from it
[04:27] <thoreauputic> Octane: if you want the contents, file roller can open it
[04:27] <Octane> thoreauputic: thank you man
[04:27] <epitron> paladin2: hrm.. what are you capturing from? DVcam? tv-in?
[04:27] <thoreauputic> Octane: no worries :)
[04:28] <paladin2> epitron: svideo in
[04:28] <ryno_> sudo didnt work anything else
[04:28] <epitron> paladin2: okay... so you have to take a raw video stream and compress it, then edit it?
[04:28] <vinboy> how do I get my local ip in the console?
[04:28] <bob2> vinboy: ip a
[04:29] <vinboy> ic
[04:29] <vinboy> any other way?
[04:29] <thoreauputic> ryno_: umm.... sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart doesn't work?
[04:29] <ablyss> vinboy: route and ifconfig
[04:29] <parabolize> My iriver audio player (Model: IFP-890) does not work with my new computer that has a ASUS A7V8X-X motherboard. The audio player has the UMS v1.28 firmware on it and works just fine with my old Compaq that is also running Ubuntu 5.04. I have another UMS device that works OK in the new computer. Here is what I get with dmesg: http://users.adelphia.net/~phann8/dmesg.txt Anyone know what that error message means?
[04:29] <vinboy> that's it.. ifconfig
[04:29] <vinboy> thanks
[04:30] <ryno_> command not found
[04:30] <thoreauputic> ryno_: err... do you have samba installed?
[04:30] <paladin2> Pretty much.  I basically want to get VHS tape into the computer.  Nothing too extravagant...  ;)
[04:30] <warty_> so from the live cd what do I have to do to take a look at the fs on the hard drive?
[04:30] <ryno_> dont know does it come with ubuntu iso?
[04:31] <thoreauputic> ryno_: no, you install it
[04:31] <ryno_> ah
[04:31] <thoreauputic> ryno_: what are you trying to do?
[04:31] <ryno_> i have to dl it
[04:31] <ryno_> i want my mp3s off my other system
[04:31] <thoreauputic> ryno_: use the synaptic package manager
[04:31] <epitron> paladin2: okay, i'd recommend mencoder then. if you use ffmpeg's mpeg4 codec, you can encode at like 40fps at about 320x240 with deinterlacing and smoothing
[04:32] <epitron> (on a celeron-600)
[04:32] <epitron> :D
[04:32] <epitron> it's a good encoder
[04:32] <ryno_> ok
[04:32] <epitron> you just need to learn a couple commandline options
[04:32] <epitron> it's got a ton of great features though
[04:32] <thoreauputic> ryno_: if the other system is windows, use "connect to server"
[04:32] <mazzabr> hmm.. where can I find the key-mapping file to gnome (question mark)
[04:32] <paladin2> epitron: Cool.  Is that a gui or command-line thing?
[04:32] <mazzabr> question mark key isn't working here.
[04:33] <paladin2> I see, is it bundled with Mplayer?
[04:33] <paladin2> <googled it!)
[04:33] <ryno_> its linux
[04:33] <ryno_> and thanks for that btw
[04:34] <thoreauputic> ryno_: you need the server installed on the machine you want to access
[04:34] <ryno_> it is i believe
[04:35] <ryno_> not running though
[04:35] <paladin2> Just searched for it in Synaptic.  I'll try it out - thanks!
[04:36] <warty_> so does anyone know how I can check my hard drive file system from the live cd?
[04:36] <ryno_> sorry for the stupidity not used to gnome heh
[04:36] <Jet2k5> morning ladies
[04:37] <paladin2> epitron: recommend any front ends, or are they all pretty much the same?  I like the gnome apps, generally ('cept for K3b...!)
[04:37] <quad> hey all, anyone know how to fix the networking issue in breezy? dhcp isn't getting an ip from my router
[04:38] <ryno_> its installed and still wont do the command
[04:38] <ryno_> invoke fails
[04:38] <ka234> where do I put these lines so I can get my SideWinder joypad to work at when Ubuntu starts up?: sudo /sbin/modprobe joydev, sudo /sbin/modprobe emu10k1-gp, sudo /sbin/modprobe sidewinder.
[04:39] <slbarranco> for some reason firefox won't launch anymore
[04:39] <slbarranco> it doesn't give me any errors
[04:39] <slbarranco> i can't run it from the command line either
[04:39] <slbarranco> has anyone else run into this?
[04:39] <bob2> are you on hoary?
[04:39] <bob2> do you have lots of extenions?
[04:39] <thoreauputic> ka234: you don't do that - you just put the module names in /etc/modules
[04:39] <slbarranco> i also tried reinstalling it
[04:39] <beekay> how can i find out my horizontal and vertical sync?
[04:39] <bob2> did you get security updates last week?
[04:40] <Marble2> is there a tool that will tell me all the info about what codecs a video file is using?
[04:40] <slbarranco> i did install the mplayer piece
[04:40] <slbarranco> yeah i'm in hoary
[04:40] <slbarranco> but then i installed firefox completely
[04:40] <slbarranco> and reinstalled it
[04:40] <slbarranco> err unistalled it completely
[04:40] <bob2> that won't help
[04:40] <thoreauputic> beekay:  xvidtune
[04:40] <warty_> please! My filesystem won't load! I've loaded up a live cd right now, how do I check the filesystem of the hard drive?
[04:41] <slbarranco> bob2: any ideas for what i could try
[04:41] <slbarranco> ?
[04:41] <beekay> thoreauputic: thanks
[04:41] <Ryan_D> is anyone using a wireless pci card that they know works well out-of-the-box on hoary?
[04:41] <bob2> slbarranco: just wait until tommorow
[04:41] <bob2> I'd guess the new firefox will fix it for you
[04:42] <jchoisy> Ryan_D, atheros cards work fine. my lill bro has one.
[04:42] <warty_> guys, this should be a simple question! how do I load up the hard drive off of the live cd so that I can run fsck on it?
[04:42] <bob2> warty_: please stop being annoying
[04:42] <bob2> ask once and wait
[04:42] <bob2> you just run fsck on it, that's all
[04:43] <warty_> no, the hard drive isn't loaded at all
[04:43] <bob2> "loaded"?
[04:43] <tritium> warty_, you don't "load" it
[04:43] <isai> want to install ubuntu on my centrino laptop. Will wireless network work 'out of the box'?
[04:43] <dug> load/mount, same thing
[04:43] <bob2> you mean the kernel didn't detect it at all?
[04:43] <bob2> isai: yes
[04:43] <thoreauputic> warty_: you don't mount the hdd to fsck it
[04:43] <tritium> If you mean mount it, you in fact don't want it mounted
[04:43] <isai> wep too?
[04:44] <warty_> if I do a free I don't get any sort of file systems detected that could possibly be the hard drive
[04:44] <bob2> that's fine
[04:44] <warty_> and if I just type fsck I don't get any response....it doesn't run on anything
[04:44] <bob2> df only shows mounted filesystems
[04:44] <jchoisy> isai, yes, we too. But not wpa
[04:44] <bob2> so
[04:44] <bob2> you need to point  fsck at the hard disk
[04:44] <jchoisy> isai, I meant 'wep too'
[04:45] <Marble2> Does anyone know how to make the audio and video stay in sync after I edit a video file?
[04:45] <isai> good enough, thanks.
[04:45] <Marble2> using avidemux
[04:45] <tritium> warty_, you need to give fsck a little more information.
[04:45] <warty_> what sort of command would I use to point fsck at the hard drive then?
[04:45] <bob2> just as the help output says
[04:45] <warty_> df doesn't list any filesystems
[04:45] <bob2> fsck /dev/whatever
[04:45] <dug> fsck /dev/hda1 or whatever device the drive is
[04:45] <bob2> you need to go find out what device it is
[04:46] <quad> bob2: is there a solution to the dhcp bug where it isn't able to get a lease on an ip from my router (someone else had the problem here http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=51242)
[04:46] <freddy> hello !!
[04:46] <ka234> thanks thoreauputic.
[04:47] <bob2> "don't use breezy"
[04:47] <warty_> okay, is there a system to what device it would be?
[04:47] <thoreauputic> ka234: you're welcome
[04:47] <quad> bob2: haha yeah, is there any other solution currently?
[04:47] <bob2> also try to configure it manually using ifconfig and dhclient
[04:47] <warty_> there's a ton of devices listed in /dev
[04:47] <bob2> I'd be pretty surprised if it was a problem with dhclient
[04:48] <quad> bob2: as in get a static ip?
[04:48] <thoreauputic> warty_: if you have one hard drive it will likely be /dev/hda
[04:48] <ryno_> cool now its working thanks thore
[04:48] <bob2> quad: no, as in configure it manually with dlicnet
[04:48] <freddy> ok i have a question here, if i have samba installed, and i wanna acces a share directory one the network...how can i acces it thru console? or thru an url? remember on windows when you have problems with networks you couldnt see you could just open a browser and type \\domain\share and it could acces it, how can i go about doing this on ubuntu?
[04:48] <bob2> er, dhclient
[04:48] <quad> bob2: ok, i will play with that
[04:48] <bob2> freddy: you mount it
[04:48] <warty_> okay, yeah, that found something
[04:48] <warty_> thank you
[04:48] <freddy> oh mount it
[04:48] <bob2> freddy:  sudo mount -t smbfs -o ro //<IP_ADDRESS>/stuff /mnt/kazoo
[04:49] <freddy> oh..now i have to figure the ip of the computer
[04:49] <freddy> hrmm
[04:50] <freddy> 11 floor...and im on the first floor...jesus...well brb...
[04:50] <warty_> one last question about that for now...do I need to run an fsck appropriate to what type of filesystem it was, i.e. fsck.ext2 or fsck.ext3 or something?
[04:50] <warty_> because I don't remember which of those two it was...
[04:50] <freddy> bob2, thanks..gonna run to 11 floor..and ill be back in a bit...gotta firgure out the ip of the computer with the share
[04:52] <ryno_> whats wrong with elevator lol
[04:52] <thoreauputic> warty_: try typing " fsck --help" and read the options
[04:52] <dug> warty_: I usually run a tool called QParted to view all the drives & partitions, it tells all the info
[04:52] <dug> QTParted I mean
[04:52] <concept10> bob2, what is the best way to stay updated with the latest packages, say for example Firefox 1.06 besides compiling from source, what repo contains the latest and greatest
[04:53] <Chris_Tucker> im getting an error from kaffeine when i try to play a dvd
[04:53] <bob2> concept10: 1.0.6 alegedly only has security fixes on top of 1.0.2
[04:53] <nalioth> concept10: idk of an ubuntu repo that is "lates and greatest"
[04:53] <bob2> concept10: and hoary has 1.0.2 with all those security fixes
[04:54] <Chris_Tucker> this is a fresh ubstall if kubuntu on a high specs machine
[04:54] <concept10> nalioth, explain idk?
[04:54] <dug> Chris_Tucker: there is a #kubuntu channel, too, maybe they can help
[04:54] <nalioth> idk = i don't know
[04:55] <bob2> concept10: the development version of ubuntu generally has more recent packages, but it's also highly broken at the moment
[04:55] <concept10> bob2, so the security fixes of all Hoary packages are backported to the original version?
[04:55] <bob2> concept10: correct
[04:55] <concept10> bob2, sort of like sarge?
[04:56] <bob2> concept10: no
[04:56] <bob2> much more broken than unstable has been
[04:56] <freddy> bob2, that didnt work :(
[04:56] <freddy> mount: wrong fs type
[04:56] <freddy> etc etc
[04:56] <bob2> do you have smbmount installed?
[04:56] <freddy> the computer with the share is xp
[04:57] <concept10> I understand that using Breezy is not recommended, I just want to stay on top of security fixes for common software, not make major changes to the install
[04:57] <bob2> er, smbfs
[04:57] <bob2> concept10: breezy has no security program, either
[04:57] <freddy> bob2, now i do :P
[04:57] <bob2> if you want security support, use stable
[04:58] <nalioth> i has been one weird day with my puters
[04:58] <jasoncohen> concept10, generally, breezy gets packages quickly enough that most security programs are fixed reasonably soon- but there's no guarantee of security support at all
[04:58] <jasoncohen> same is true of sid
[04:58] <tritium> what's up, nalioth ?
[04:58] <abarbaccia> hey guys - aren't these packages the same?  transcode: Depends: libgcc1 (>= 1:4.0.0-7) but 1:4.0-0pre6ubuntu7 is to be installed
[04:59] <richard25killing> hello room
[04:59] <richard25killing> i have a question
[04:59] <richard25killing> im new to ubuntu
[04:59] <bob2> abarbaccia: no, don't use packages from outside ubuntu
[04:59] <richard25killing> just got started with it last night
[04:59] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: just ask
[04:59] <richard25killing> ok
[04:59] <richard25killing> can i get packages off the internet
[05:00] <richard25killing> to install on here
[05:00] <richard25killing> or just from you
[05:00] <abarbaccia> bob2, im not using packages outside ubuntu - im trying to install transcode from the ubuntu-extras repository
[05:00] <bob2> richard25killing: you can get ubuntu packages off the internet, yes
[05:00] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: use the package manager
[05:00] <freddy> bob2, thanks a lot man
[05:00] <bob2> abarbaccia: then those packages are broken
[05:00] <richard25killing> ok
[05:00] <bob2> abarbaccia: talk to whoever made them
[05:00] <thoreauputic> !synaptic
[05:00] <ubotu> hmm... synaptic is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SynapticHowto
[05:00] <richard25killing> do i have to construct the installs
[05:00] <abarbaccia> bob2, is there any way to force it?  how do i know who made it?
[05:00] <richard25killing> or is it automatic
[05:00] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: see ubotu's URl
[05:00] <bob2> abarbaccia: no, forcing it will not help, and will break apt
[05:00] <bob2> richard25killing: you just select the packages and it downloads and installs them
[05:01] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: and this one below
[05:01] <thoreauputic> !repos
[05:01] <ubotu> methinks repos is at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto
[05:01] <bob2> abarbaccia: no idea, hoary-extras is some non-ubuntu group of people
[05:01] <bob2> abarbaccia: I assume they hang out on the forums
[05:01] <abarbaccia> bob2, thanks - i appreciate it
[05:01] <richard25killing> do you know a good place on the internet to look for outside packages for this
[05:01] <vinboy> when I start gnome bittorent
[05:01] <bob2> recompiling their transcode packages would probably work
[05:01] <vinboy> it ask me for Bittorent meta file
[05:01] <bob2> richard25killing: you don't do that, generally
[05:01] <vinboy> if I click cancel,,, the program quite itself
[05:01] <richard25killing> ok
[05:01] <vinboy> what should i do
[05:01] <bob2> richard25killing: what do you want that isn't in ubuntu?
[05:01] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: *cough* 16 000 packages not enough for you?
[05:02] <concept10> I guess I dont understand the reason why fixes are backported to the original version.  Why doesnt Ubuntu use the package version of package <n>
[05:02] <dug> richard25killing: you might want to enable the "universe" repository for more ubuntu packages
[05:02] <richard25killing> ok
[05:02] <richard25killing> how do i do that
[05:02] <bob2> concept10: because new versions break things
[05:02] <dug> or metaverse, can't remember exactly, sorry
[05:02] <bob2> concept10: and breaking a stable release is terrible
[05:02] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: if you read the two URLs ubotu posted above you will be on the right track
[05:03] <dug> yeah the 2nd url shows how to enable universe
[05:03] <concept10> bob2, I mean the version number
[05:03] <dug> check 'show disabled sources' in the synaptic package manager prefs
[05:03] <freddy> cp -rf directory/ newlocation/ will copy the entire directory?
[05:03] <bob2> concept10: you want ubuntu to backport fixes then lie about the version number?
[05:04] <richard25killing> ok i knew that
[05:04] <abarbaccia> bob2, just for reference u need to use backports in order to use extras - they go hand in hand - problem solved! ;)
[05:04] <richard25killing> but i want codecs to play dvds on here
[05:04] <richard25killing> how do i get those
[05:04] <bob2> abarbaccia: omfg
[05:04] <bob2> abarbaccia: they backport libgcc?
[05:04] <thoreauputic> !multimedia
[05:04] <ubotu> I heard multimedia is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewUserGuideMultimedia
[05:05] <concept10> bob2, Thats not what Im suggesting.  I am inquring why repos dont use the version number of the original program
[05:05] <Marble2> how can I install the regular xvid codec (NOT the xvid4 codec)
[05:05] <thoreauputic> !restricted
[05:05] <ubotu> rumour has it, restricted is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats
[05:05] <bob2> concept10: they do
[05:05] <bob2> concept10: example?
[05:05] <concept10> bob2, okay.
[05:06] <concept10> bob2, I could use firefox
[05:06] <paul_> Hi all, I'm reasonably new to any version of Linux, and especially Ubuntu, and I've managed to work out how to setup my wireless card, and WPA encryption using wpasupplicant, my problem is, I've got no idea where to put the command to start wpasupplicant when Ubuntu boots.  I've some searching of the wiki, and google, but I've come up with nothing.  I'm assuming it needs to go into /etc/rc* somewhere, but where?  Any help would be much appr
[05:06] <paul_> eciated.
[05:06] <bob2> concept10: firefox's version in ubuntu is 1.0.2
[05:06] <bob2> paul_: setup /etc/network/interfaces like this page suggests: http://webusers.physics.umn.edu/~kaminski/thinkpad/debian-sarge-on-thinkpad-t42.html
[05:06] <thoreauputic> !codecs
[05:06] <ubotu> [codecs]  http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RestrictedFormats
[05:07] <concept10> bob2, if Hoary's version of firefox is built the same as 1.06, why not change version to 1.06
[05:07] <bob2> concept10: it's not the same as 1.0.6
[05:07] <bob2> concept10: it's 1.0.2 plus the security fixes from 1.0.6
[05:08] <concept10> bob2, Thanks for the insight.  One last question.  Why not use the Mozilla build?
[05:08] <bob2> because they break things in security fixes
[05:08] <warty_> hmm, okay...when I tried running fsck on hda I found out that that's actually where the live cd's filesystem loads...hd1 and hd2 both give me errors: the superblock could not be read or does not correctly describe an ext2 filesystem
[05:08] <bob2> e.g. firefox is all segfaulty atm
[05:09] <paladin2> Q: I've got encoding problems importing french files from windows to Ubuntu.  I want to delete windoze once and for all, but I can't for the love of this one problem! :)
[05:09] <bob2> warty_: you don't know which hard disk you installed ubuntu on?
[05:09] <warty_> does this mean the device is there and just not working, the hard drive is there and the filesystem is massively corrupt, or I have to find a different hard drive device to check
[05:09] <paul_> Thanks bob2, I'll have a look at it now.
[05:09] <bob2> warty_: it means you need to find out where your hard disk is
[05:10] <dug> what kernel will breezy use, cause i need 2.6.11 at least for SATA apparently
[05:10] <bob2> 2.6.12, it seems
[05:10] <dug> cool, thanks
[05:11] <jasoncohen> definitely 2.6.12
[05:11] <jasoncohen> it's one of the goals
[05:11] <illusionGFX[AFK] > Can anyone assist me ? I'm trying to figure out how to set my root user password... I didnt get that option during the install
[05:11] <DJester> So I've got a new laptop an I'm trying to install Hoary.  Unfortunatly It freezes after the reboot when it's saying "Setting up xserver-xorg (6.8.2-10) ... " Anyone have any ides?
[05:11] <warty_> I installed it on the only hard drive in the system...but the /dev folder is filled with a whold list of hd devices....should I just keep trying them all?
[05:11] <thoreauputic> !rootsudo
[05:11] <ubotu> it has been said that rootsudo is at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo
[05:11] <jasoncohen> illusionGFX[AFK] , there is no root user. you use sudo
[05:11] <thoreauputic> illusionGFX[AFK] : see ubotu's URL
[05:11] <bob2> illusionGFX[AFK] : the installer explained this during the install, too
[05:12] <thoreauputic> warty_: as I said, if you have only one hard drive it is almost certainly /dev/hda
[05:12] <illusionGFX[AFK] > ok thanks
[05:13] <epitron> hey guys
[05:13] <epitron> is there a placeholder package that i can install so i can build my own kernel without dependencies being unsatisfied?
[05:14] <warty_> fsck /dev/hda gives me an error that there's no fsck.iso9660, which means that the live cd's filesystem is in hda
[05:14] <tritium> warty_, what type of hard disk is it?
[05:15] <tritium> ide?  scsi?
[05:15] <joel__> fucker!
[05:15] <warty_> oh, scsi, I believe
[05:15] <regeya_> language.
[05:15] <regeya_> guh.
[05:15] <thoreauputic> warty_: ahah
[05:15] <mebaran151> tritium, wouldnt it have to be ide if it is a hd type drive
[05:15] <mebaran151> and not sd
[05:15] <regeya_> child.
[05:15] <thoreauputic> warty_: try /dev/sda
[05:15] <warty_> okay
[05:16] <tritium> mebaran151, if it were ide, yes, it would be /dev/hd?
[05:16] <warty_> thanks thoreauputic, that found something..
[05:17] <thoreauputic> warty_: thank tritium - he asked the right question :)
[05:17] <warty_> thank you too, tritium
[05:17] <tritium> of course :)
[05:18] <warty_> let's see, that gives: fsck.ext2: bad magic number in superblock while trying to open /dev/sda
[05:19] <warty_> I always knew fixing this computer would eventually get down to magic numbers that required sacrificing goats or virgins
[05:20] <hybrid> lol
[05:20] <tritium> warty_, definitely go with the goats
[05:20] <richard25killing> i went to codeweavers and downloaded the crossover office
[05:20] <thoreauputic> warty_: I think you need 'sudo fsck ' to access your disk (i would expect so anyway)
[05:20] <richard25killing> and it wont let me install it
[05:20] <bob2> richard25killing: surely it has instructions
[05:20] <richard25killing> nope
[05:20] <richard25killing> just one file
[05:20] <richard25killing> a .sh file
[05:20] <warty_> no, that was a sudo already...if I don't sudo it it won't let me even attempt
[05:21] <thoreauputic> warty_: right
[05:21] <richard25killing> so what should i do
[05:21] <DJester> Can Someone Help Me?  What would be the main reasons for a new install to freeze when it's setting up xserver-xorg?
[05:21] <skyhawker> I've decided to make a dual boot system, I have ubuntu on now, how would I go about installing XP
[05:21] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: try running ' sh filename.sh ' where filename is your script
[05:22] <richard25killing> in what
[05:22] <richard25killing> terminal
[05:22] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: yes - and in the directory you put the script
[05:23] <richard25killing> the script is on my desktop
[05:23] <richard25killing> right now
[05:23] <skyhawker> bob2, could you help me ^
[05:23] <richard25killing> where should it be
[05:23] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: then   cd ~/Desktop first
[05:23] <warty_> hmm...it does say that if the superblock can't be read but it is the correct device and file system type then either the superblock is corrupt, or I need to try running fsck with an alternate supreblock...
[05:24] <warty_> ah, okay, I found a list of the different backup superblocks
[05:24] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: or move the script to your home dir and run it from there if that's easier
[05:24] <warty_> time to try them...
[05:24] <richard25killing> wheres my home dir
[05:25] <richard25killing> im new ok
[05:25] <paladin2> Hi - still having those invalid encoding problems... :)
[05:25] <pbiegaj> hey all
[05:26] <richard25killing> bob2 this is what it says when i click on it
[05:26] <pbiegaj> I have a question, I have a compaq presario 2311us which just came out, and there's a wireless button on the keyboard
[05:26] <richard25killing> gedit was not able to automatically detect the character coding. Please, check that you are not trying to open a binary file and try again selecting a character coding in the 'Open File...' (or 'Open Location') dialog.
[05:26] <pbiegaj> which I've found turns the wireless ( internal mini pci ) card on and off hardware wise
[05:26] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: the default directory when you open a terminal is your home directory - type 'pwd' to print your current working directory in terminal
[05:26] <pbiegaj> where under /proc or /sys should I dig to set up a listener for that button press??
[05:26] <warty_> nope...okay, that confirms that the entire fs is just so massively corrupted it would go unnoticed in Nigeria...time to do a complete reinstall I guess
[05:26] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: ~ is shorthand for your home dir
[05:27] <warty_> unless anyone knows anything more powerful than fsck at savinf filesystems?
[05:27] <richard25killing> ok
[05:27] <tritium> warty_, try the goats
[05:27] <tritium> ;)
[05:27] <richard25killing> the file is in my home dir
[05:27] <richard25killing> and it says the same thing
[05:27] <richard25killing> it cant understand the character coding
[05:27] <paladin2> I've got virgins here, if you need them
[05:27] <paladin2> :)
[05:27] <warty_> female virgins, paladin2
[05:27] <richard25killing> so what do i do next
[05:28] <paladin2> I wasn't offering myself... ;)
[05:28] <warty_> thanks for the help guys, signing off to do a reinstall
[05:28] <richard25killing> ok i tried to do it on the terminal
[05:28] <tritium> good luck, warty_
[05:28] <benplaut> good luck
[05:28] <richard25killing> it says permission denied
[05:29] <richard25killing> so im stuck
[05:29] <thesilentkiller> where can i find the environmental variables?
[05:29] <richard25killing> and i really want that installed
[05:29] <richard25killing> so please help me
[05:29] <tritium> thesilentkiller, "env"
[05:29] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: surely there's some instructions for codeweaver ? I can't really help with non-ubuntu stuff : I suggest you look for info on how to install it on their website
[05:30] <thesilentkiller> tritium, i want to permanently add a variable to the list..how do i do that? is there a file where i can add or how does it work?
[05:30] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: for info about linux command line try reading up at http://tuxfiles.org
[05:30] <pbiegaj> anyone have any idea where I would scan for a button which turns on and off my wireless card on my laptop so that I can configure it properly?
[05:30] <skyhawker> how can I install xp onto another partition after installing ubuntu?
[05:30] <pbiegaj> I've been trying to search for it for a while now
[05:30] <tritium> thesilentkiller, use your ~/.bashrc to export them.  There should be examples in that file you can follow.
[05:30] <benplaut> pbiegaj: type "xev" in the terminal
[05:30] <thesilentkiller> tritium, okie thanx. i will check it out
[05:31] <pbiegaj> ben
[05:31] <benplaut> ?
[05:31] <pbiegaj> benplaut, what is xev?
[05:31] <benplaut> type it in the terminal... you'll see
[05:31] <tritium> nalioth, how are things?
[05:31] <pbiegaj> cool thanks
[05:32] <crimsun> pbiegaj: thinkpad?
[05:32] <La_PaRCa> excuse me, can anyone try and ssh into my machine
[05:32] <ubuntu> does anyone know how to mount your NTFS drives when using the live CD?
[05:32] <La_PaRCa> ip is <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:32] <crimsun> ubuntu: sudo mount -t ntfs -o umask=002 /dev/XXXX /mnt
[05:33] <ubuntu> thank you crimsun!  Also any way to write to NTFS or is that out of the question?
[05:33] <pbiegaj> wow!
[05:33] <pbiegaj> benplaut,
[05:33] <pbiegaj> benplaut,  that's an awesome utility
[05:33] <pbiegaj> benplaut, however it didn't yield anything regarding that particular button
[05:33] <jasmuz> La_PaRCa: under what user?
[05:33] <paladin2> LaParca - I can and it works
[05:33] <crimsun> pbiegaj: see above question
[05:34] <benplaut> then it's probably hardware based
[05:34] <nalioth> tritium: it's been ONE interesting day
[05:34] <La_PaRCa> jasmuz, just wanted to know if you could get a prompt
[05:34] <La_PaRCa> someone else was having touble
[05:34] <pbiegaj> benplaut, no it's a compaq presario v2311us
[05:34] <benplaut> try to turn it on or off while the computer is turning on... sometimes Gnome will cause problems
[05:34] <La_PaRCa> someone else was having trouble
[05:34] <richard25killing> i figured it out on my own
[05:34] <pbiegaj> benplaut, it has an internal mini pci broadcom card which I configured ifup/down to start it up
[05:34] <La_PaRCa> jasmuz, did you get a prompt?
[05:34] <richard25killing> thanks for the help bob
[05:35] <pbiegaj> but my goal is to fully configure this laptop so it works just as well with ubuntu as under xp
[05:35] <pbiegaj> and then post that for other people with this pc wanting to try linux
[05:35] <paladin2> invalid encoding, anyone? :)
[05:35] <pbiegaj> so I want to get this button thing down where it'll run a script to connect to certain networks that it can scan for
[05:35] <jasmuz> La_PaRCa: yes
[05:35] <pbiegaj> and the button turns the minipci hardware itself on and off
[05:35] <La_PaRCa> jasmuz, thanks a lot
[05:36] <crimsun> pbiegaj: then you need to check if anyone has written the apci code for your laptop.
[05:36] <xuniluser> HELP: how can i install japanese language support to my firefox browser?
[05:36] <Octane> anyone know if WINE works with amd64 yet
[05:36] <jasmuz> La_PaRCa:  tell them to ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[05:36] <pbiegaj> crimsun, I doubt it since it's fairly new
[05:36] <pbiegaj> crimsun, but I guess I can be that guy then :)
[05:36] <benplaut> pb: good luck with a broadcom card... some things are bound to not work as well as in XP
[05:36] <La_PaRCa> jasmuz, it was a general connection error, so ill tell them its their router or something
[05:36] <pbiegaj> benplaut, well the card works fin
[05:36] <benplaut> oh
[05:37] <pbiegaj> it's just listening for that button press and bringing it up/down properly based off of that
[05:37] <jasmuz> La_PaRCa: ok, hermano
[05:37] <pbiegaj> finally found myself a cool proect to work on, and learned alot poking around /sys and /proc
[05:37] <pbiegaj> but I don't really know where to look right now, so I thought I'd bug you guys about it
[05:37] <ubuntu> Crimsun, when using sudo mount -t ntfs -o umask=002 /dev/XXXX/mnt, XXXX is what, hda1 or hda0, right?
[05:38] <SG1> Ok, I just apt-got upgraded to breezy and not Xorg hates me. fixed font issue... anyone had that one?

[05:40] <crimsun> appleav: see the topic
[05:40] <thoreauputic> Doonz: if you need to get rid of xmms to restart it, do ' pkill xmms ' in a terminal
[05:40] <belzebu> hello

[05:44] <osity> has anyone got raid 1 to work on ubuntu"?
[05:44] <Doonz> how does that record function work?
[05:45] <thoreauputic> Doonz: you need to install streamripper
[05:45] <mebaran151> osity, it aint so hard
[05:45] <Doonz> yeah did that
[05:45] <DekaPink> I'm baaa-aaack.
[05:45] <thoreauputic> Doonz: then you just click it
[05:45] <Doonz> what format will it record into?
[05:45] <osity> mebaran151: have you done it?
[05:45] <thoreauputic> Doonz: whatever the stream is

[05:46] <DekaPink> Nnnn... Can anyone help me with getting 3D games to like... spead up? xD Heh.
[05:46] <mebaran151> are you trying to convert pseudoRaid
[05:46] <osity> mebaran151: getting to the moon is easy
[05:46] <thoreauputic> Doonz: it will also put the tracks inot a directory for you
[05:46] <mebaran151> osity, what kind of raid setup are you trying to make

[05:47] <osity> mebaran151: wont boot off that
[05:47] <mebaran151> osity, do you have that raid level now, or are you making it from scratch
[05:47] <DekaPink> razerslut: xkill

[05:48] <razerslut> how can i get a list of apps running?
[05:48] <gigaclon> question?
[05:48] <appleav> any idea what's the root password?

[05:49] <osity> what is the easiest way?
[05:50] <osity> I would like to have the simplest most basic way (i.e replace the drive when one dies and away I go)
[05:50] <mowgli> ..well im all new to linux! totaly! and i just installed ubuntu.. now i wanted to install my gfx card driver.. but im not sure how to..
[05:50] <mebaran151> osity, software
[05:50] <mebaran151> but it sounds like you dont really need it
[05:50] <ubuntu> how do you mount a hd in ubuntu liveCD
[05:50] <mebaran151> I mean you lose half your disk space
[05:50] <osity> ya software raid 1
[05:50] <thoreauputic> !drivers
[05:50] <ubotu> it has been said that drivers is https://wiki.ubuntu.com//BinaryDriverHowto
[05:50] <tritium> mowgli, congrats, first of all.  :)
[05:50] <thoreauputic> mowgli: look at ubotu's URl
[05:50] <gigaclon> mowgli you might not need too
[05:50] <DekaPink> I'm figuring that my ATI AIW Radeon 8500DV should really be performing better than it is. :3
[05:51] <osity> mebaran151: what do you mean you lose half
[05:51] <mebaran151> well
[05:51] <mebaran151> if I have two HardDisks
[05:51] <mebaran151> in RAid 1
[05:51] <mowgli> thanks :P i will!
[05:51] <mebaran151> one Hardisk has to mirror the other
[05:51] <mebaran151> so have a net loss of one half
[05:51] <osity> mebaran151: oh ..y a i nknow I dont care I have hard drives out the wazoooo
[05:51] <mebaran151> because I cant use that other harddisk
[05:51] <shincan> ada yang bisa bahasa indoensia ga
[05:51] <ubuntu> problem with windows media player working on ubuntu livecd

[05:51] <osity> mebaran151: I got 200gb ...lots of em
[05:51] <ubuntu> it won't work?
[05:52] <mebaran151> well you know you have writing penalty
[05:52] <crimsun> ubuntu: ?
[05:52] <osity> hehe
[05:52] <DekaPink> Can someone help me? :3 Please? I've tried stuff from the wiki and I'm just... at a loss for what to do since nothing seems to help.
[05:52] <mebaran151> and the odds of in Linux having a TOTAL failure are usually pretty slim
[05:52] <ubuntu> I tried copying windows xp to hard drive and installing it but it doesn't work?
[05:52] <Dr_Fate> any idea when FF will be well again?
[05:52] <parabolize> DekaPink, ATI cards are not known to perform well in linux
[05:52] <thoreauputic> ubuntu: the "windows" part is a bit of a giveaway isn't it?
[05:52] <mebaran151> parabolize, it's a changing
[05:52] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: just downgrade to 5.3
[05:52] <DekaPink> parabolize: How nice for me. xD
[05:52] <osity> I need a walkthrough tomorrow.....
[05:52] <crimsun> (although 5.4 works fine here)
[05:52] <ubuntu> oh shit, I can't use windows software on linux?
[05:52] <osity> and im willig to pay for it
[05:53] <mebaran151> osity, the way you setup raid
[05:53] <gigaclon> ubuntu, it complicated
[05:53] <mebaran151> is in the installer
[05:53] <FlibidyFloo> hi. i'm installing ubuntu on a spare partition on an existing debian box.  i skipped installing grub because i already have it installed, and i'm trying to boot from the existing grub installation to continue the setup by hand-editing the grub command lines.  ubuntu is going on /dev/sda9.  here are the commands i'm entering for grub:
[05:53] <thoreauputic> ubuntu: not easily - there are a few ways for some things
[05:53] <razerslut> how can i play .m4a files in ubuntu?
[05:53] <crimsun> ubuntu: nor can you hook up a telephone into a toaster.
[05:53] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, 5.3? is there a Firefox 1.5.3?
[05:53] <mebaran151> razerslut, search synatpic for gstreamer-aac
[05:53] <osity> mebaran151: it wont boot ,......you would know this if you set it up
[05:53] <gigaclon> ubuntu, but most things you can do in windows you can do in linux
[05:53] <FlibidyFloo> root (hd0,8)kernel
[05:53] <FlibidyFloo> (hd0,8)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda9
[05:53] <FlibidyFloo> boot
[05:53] <razerslut> mebaran151: thank you
[05:53] <crimsun> razerslut: use faad, or gstreamer-faad, or libfaad with amarok/kaffeine
[05:53] <DekaPink> So there's nothing I can do, then? :3
[05:53] <razerslut> hmm
[05:54] <razerslut> well im using rhythm box to play music
[05:54] <FlibidyFloo> but the boot fails.  with "file not found"
[05:54] <FlibidyFloo> any ideas?
[05:54] <mebaran151> osity, osity it will boot
[05:54] <mebaran151> I did it
[05:54] <mebaran151> on my AMD64 system
[05:54] <osity> mebaran151:you would know this if you tried to set it up.....there are all kinds of error with missing devices
[05:54] <mebaran151> oh
[05:54] <ubuntu> no, I was just messin' around... I can't mount my hd though with "sudo mount -t ntfs -o umask=002 /dev/hda1 /mnt/blahblah
[05:54] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: 5.3 is the package revision suffix
[05:54] <mebaran151> did you make a separate boot parition that you dont mirror
[05:54] <mebaran151> I just realized you must not have done that
[05:54] <mebaran151> I always do that
[05:54] <crimsun> ubuntu: did you mkdir /mnt/blahblah first?
[05:55] <osity> what do you mean ?
[05:55] <mebaran151> like at the start of the first harddisk
[05:55] <geneo91> crimsun:  i the new alsa driver in any hoary repositories
[05:55] <ubuntu> nope, didn't know i had to...
[05:55] <geneo91> is
[05:55] <mebaran151> dont mirror /boot (it isnt worth it)
[05:55] <crimsun> geneo91: hoary? no.
[05:55] <osity> ah ...
[05:55] <mebaran151> it takes a lot of setup to make that work
[05:55] <mebaran151> so then you reserve like 100 megs for /boot
[05:55] <mebaran151> make the rest / or divide it between your mnt points
[05:55] <razerslut> crimsun: i dont have either of those files in my synaptic manager
[05:56] <geneo91> k thx crimsun
[05:56] <osity> well I was thinking of having a smaller pata drive for the system and then having /home on the mirrored 200 gb drives
[05:56] <mebaran151> so for the first partition use ext3 for /boot
[05:56] <mebaran151> oh
[05:56] <mebaran151> that will work splendidly
[05:56] <mowgli> can i find a beginner's guide with the most used commands, somwhere on the web?
[05:56] <mebaran151> I dont know why you would need that
[05:56] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, synaptic does not seem to have kept any old FF's around? Is there a way to do it via apt-get or synaptic somehow?
[05:56] <crimsun> razerslut: you need an external repo, like one of the backports, or debian-marillat.
[05:56] <razerslut> i dont know what that means
[05:56] <razerslut> what is a backport
[05:57] <FlibidyFloo> if i'm installing on a system that already has grub installed on it, can i bypass installing ubuntu's grub ?
[05:57] <osity> I'll send you 25 bucks if you want to help me set it up tomorrow
[05:57] <ubuntu> thanks again, sorry for being retarded.
[05:57] <osity> :)
[05:57] <gigaclon> ubuntu, its not retarted
[05:57] <gigaclon> we all when thru the same thing when learning a new OS
[05:58] <crimsun> razerslut: see wiki/RestrictedFormats
[05:58] <vader1102> ubuntu: it is no worse than some of the questions I have asked lol
[05:58] <osity> mebaran151: when I tried to mount /home on the bigger drive with did not want to boot without /home on the main drive
[05:59] <crimsun> FlibidyFloo: only if you want to add the Ubuntu entries manually. It's a good idea to let Ubuntu's installer update your existing GRUB config.
[06:00] <mrd`> Dr_Fate: Why do you want to downgrade firefox?
[06:00] <Dr_Fate> mrd`, look at the topic
[06:00] <crimsun> 5.3 gives people fewer problems, more than likely, mrd`
[06:00] <thor|away> mowgli: have a look at http://tuxfiles.org
[06:00] <Dr_Fate> mrd`, its broken
[06:00] <vader1102> tritium: wb lol
[06:00] <FlibidyFloo> crimsun, i bypassed the installation of grub, and now it's trying to boot for the first time.  but it can't seem to find the kernel - stops on  "kernel (hd0,8)/vmlinuz root=/dev/sda9"
[06:00] <tritium> vader1102, why thank you
[06:01] <Dr_Fate> I have to find a way to downgrde my packages now
[06:01] <Dr_Fate> synaptic seems to only show me the latest versions
[06:01] <mrd`> Probably because the archives only keep the latest version.
[06:02] <benplaut> Dr_Fate: i just gave you the answer int he other channel
[06:02] <crimsun> FlibidyFloo: does it give an error?
[06:02] <skyhawker> I've heard cedega id good for most games, is this true?
[06:02] <FlibidyFloo> crimsun, yes, File Not Found
[06:02] <skyhawker> id=is
[06:02] <ubuntu> one more question and I'll leave you all alone, any utils you can use to write to ntfs?
[06:03] <crimsun> FlibidyFloo: what isn't found?
[06:03] <chibifs> http://studiochibico.com/img/screens/ <3 Matchbox.
[06:03] <FlibidyFloo> crimsun, i used tab completion and it sees (hd0,8)/vmlinuz that way
[06:03] <benplaut> ubuntu: one, but setting it up is a pain, and you risk data corruption
[06:03] <vader1102> skyhawker: your fingers are like mine tonight, getting crossed lol
[06:03] <benplaut> it's not a good idea
[06:03] <FlibidyFloo> crimsun, i don't know - it doesn't say, it just shows that line and says "file not found"
[06:03] <skyhawker> vader1102, too true
[06:03] <crimsun> FlibidyFloo: was that the kernel line?
[06:03] <FlibidyFloo> crimsun, yes
[06:03] <vader1102> mine are like that regardless, day or night lol
[06:04] <crimsun> FlibidyFloo: did you press enter, then type boot and press enter?
[06:04] <Doonz> yay sucessfully made a back up of my computer
[06:04] <freddy> hrmm any good dvd player you guys know?
[06:04] <skyhawker> anyone know?
[06:04] <thechitowncubs> freddy: Totem
[06:04] <freddy> omg totem wont even play a file made IN it :(
[06:04] <FlibidyFloo> crimsun, i interrupted the boot in grub, edited the grub config lines and then pressed "b" to boot up with the config lines i entered
[06:04] <Doonz> sorry im just sooo happy thats ive finally got it all working
[06:04] <freddy> maybe you can help me figure out how to make it work fine thechitowncubs
[06:05] <freddy> do i need plugins or something?
[06:05] <FlibidyFloo> crimsun, they config lines i entered were:
[06:05] <FlibidyFloo> root (hd0,8)
[06:05] <FlibidyFloo> kernel (hd0,8)/vmlinuz root=/dev/hda9
[06:05] <FlibidyFloo> boot
[06:05] <patrickj> ello again
[06:05] <illusionGFX> Can someone assist me in telling me how to set up my network adaptor for a static ip address?
[06:05] <FlibidyFloo> crimsun, sorry, that should be "sda" not "hda"
[06:06] <skyhawker> vader1102, are you waiting for the same info?
[06:06] <vader1102> nope... I just kick and watch the text, that's how I learn
[06:08] <illusionGFX> Can anyone answer my question?
[06:08] <geneo91> illusionGFX:  try sudo ifconfig eth0 xxx.xxx.x.xx
[06:08] <skyhawker> vader1102, fair enough, I'll be doing that a lot, as soon as I figure out how to get HL2 working...
[06:08] <Doonz> hey guys just wondering how important it is to install anti virus software on my machine?
[06:09] <HrdwrBoB> illusionGFX: system->administration-> networking
[06:09] <illusionGFX> thanks... but after I do that, how do I set the dns?
[06:09] <vader1102> skyhawker: I don't even know what that is lol
[06:09] <skyhawker> vader1102, Half-Life 2 ...
[06:09] <illusionGFX> HrdwrBoB I'm not in the gui, I'm on command line
[06:09] <vader1102> oh, ok lol
[06:09] <mebaran151> I wish that Finale ran in Linux
[06:09] <mebaran151> anybody know how to make this happen?
[06:09] <mebaran151> Will Crossover Office cut it?
[06:10] <vader1102> skyhawker: have you looked at the install or config file?
[06:10] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, attepmting to uninstall FF results in an attempt to uninstall the whole desktop
[06:10] <H00chster> Anybody familiar with /etc/init.d/libdevmapper1.0?  I am having probs mounting drives, saying they are already mounted or busy, did a search and found someone saying there was a prob with libdevmapper1.0 but not sure how he fixed it.
[06:10] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: don't uninstall it, just install the older version
[06:10] <crimsun> I have the 5.3 if you need it.
[06:10] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, the older version does not present itself to be installed
[06:10] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, I guess I need it
[06:11] <benplaut> Doonz: not important at all
[06:11] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: let me post it.
[06:11] <crimsun> FlibidyFloo: sec
[06:11] <benplaut> unless it's a server serving to Windows machines
[06:11] <skyhawker> vader1102, my problem is, I need wind0ws games...trying to get cedega to work is my problem, hm how would I be able to change CDs during an install if linux wont let me eject it if it's in use..
[06:11] <FlibidyFloo> crimsun, ok
[06:12] <vader1102> skyhawker: have you tried google, just out of curiosity
[06:12] <vader1102> that's where I get a lot of answers
[06:12] <mebaran151> I am thinking of leaving ubuntu, just for all the broken packages
[06:12] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: http://sh.nu/~crimsun/mozilla-firefox_1.0.2-0ubuntu5.3_i386.deb
[06:12] <mebaran151> arg AMD64
[06:12] <skyhawker> vader1102, yeah my favorite website of late...a bit new to linux you see... not too sure what too look for in this situation
[06:12] <mebaran151> no one does anything for you yet?
[06:13] <vader1102> I would type in the game you are looking for with ubuntu in there
[06:13] <skyhawker> mebaran151, I just changed back to the 32-bit version, I found 64-bit is not worth it yet
[06:13] <battlecat> hi does apache come native on the install disc?
[06:14] <skyhawker> vader1102, hm I'll try...
[06:14] <vader1102> let me know if it works please
[06:15] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, thanks a bunch
[06:15] <freddy> i wonder....mozilla wont let me see a video cause  i need media player plugin...do you guys know of any fix for this?
[06:15] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: np
[06:16] <crimsun> FlibidyFloo: you didn't enter the full filename
[06:17] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, it failed something about a broken pipe
[06:17] <vader1102> my eventual goal is to be able to diagnose Linux in general the way the opps and other people so in this channel
[06:18] <crimsun> FlibidyFloo: (hd0,8)/vmlinuz-2.6.10-5-386
[06:18] <crimsun> FlibidyFloo: for your default Hoary install
[06:18] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, trying to overwrite `/var/lib/mozilla-firefox/extensions.d/00classic', which is also in package firefox
[06:18] <Dr_Fate> dpkg-deb: subprocess paste killed by signal (Broken pipe)
[06:18] <FlibidyFloo> crimsun, which one?  vmlinuz?  i think it's the full filename, because this is the first boot after starting setup - so it boots from the temporary kernel and continues setup from there...?
[06:19] <crimsun> FlibidyFloo: you need to enter the full name as I just demonstrated
[06:19] <FlibidyFloo> crimsun, but that's not even on the hard disk yet
[06:19] <mebaran151> skyhawker, but I paid cash!
[06:19] <FlibidyFloo> crimsun, this is the first boot that happens during the install
[06:19] <FlibidyFloo> crimsun, i haven't even selected packages yet or anything
[06:19] <crimsun> FlibidyFloo: you mean the first REboot?
[06:20] <FlibidyFloo> crimsun, right, the first boot after the install process is started
[06:20] <crimsun> FlibidyFloo: the kernel's present.
[06:20] <FlibidyFloo> crimsun, i
[06:20] <FlibidyFloo> i'll check again
[06:20] <FlibidyFloo> brb
[06:23] <FlibidyFloo> crimsun, yaay  :-)  i specified the existing /boot partition for the install so it was on hd0,0...  but it's booting.  thanks
[06:23] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, should I force the install?
[06:23] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: you may, but you may find it better to purge the existing one first
[06:24] <skyhawker> mebaran151, why on earth would you do that, I ordered it free off the net, they sent it to me in Australia
[06:24] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: sudo dpkg -P --force-depends mozilla-firefox && sudo dpkg -i mozilla-firefox_1.0.2-0ubuntu5.3_i386.deb
[06:24] <Marble2> is there an easy way to take screenshots in mplayer?
[06:25] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, that will keepp the purge from dismantling my desktop?
[06:25] <hybrid> Marble2: in or of mplayer?
[06:26] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: yes
[06:27] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, trying to overwrite `/var/lib/mozilla-firefox/extensions.d/00classic', which is also in package firefox
[06:27] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, its choking there
[06:27] <joevandyk> Is it best to use ESD for sound in Gnome?  When I do, games in wine and SDL don't seem to play any sound.
[06:28] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: erm, firefox? are you using Breezy?
[06:28] <mebaran151> skyhawker, I was joking
[06:28] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, negative
[06:28] <gigaclon> joevandyk, killall esd before you play
[06:28] <mebaran151> AMD64 is astounding at how fast it encodes
[06:28] <joevandyk> I want to use ALSA, but when I try to switch using Gnome's multimedia selector, it says "Failed to create test pipeline".  What kind of error message is that?  :(
[06:28] <mebaran151> 40 fps for MPEG
[06:28] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: Hoary has no 'firefox'
[06:28] <gigaclon> then esd & after
[06:28] <mebaran151> crimsun, it has no son!
[06:28] <joevandyk> gigaclon, isn't there a better way to do that?  And then I suppose I have to do a "sudo esd &" after I'm done, right?
[06:28] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, !!?
[06:29] <crimsun> ~$ apt-cache policy firefox
[06:29] <crimsun> W: Unable to locate package firefox
[06:29] <gigaclon> no esd & will suffice
[06:29] <gigaclon> joevandyk, you can all do killall esd, then esd -as 10 right after
[06:29] <richard25killing> hello
[06:29] <gigaclon> it tells esd to release the sound drivers after an idle period
[06:29] <richard25killing> bob
[06:30] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, you don't use backports period then huh?
[06:30] <richard25killing> i need some help again
[06:30] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: there's your issue.
[06:30] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: and no, I don't.
[06:30] <richard25killing> does anyone know where i can get a program that runs mac osx programs on here
[06:30] <learn25> hi
[06:30] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: you will need to -force-overwrite
[06:30] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, how do you play mp3s, dvds and such?
[06:30] <crimsun> --force-overwrite
[06:31] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: I use the packages, where necessary, from debian-marillat.
[06:31] <richard25killing> dr fate would you know
[06:31] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, argh I thought marilliat breaks Ubunut not backports....uhhhh
[06:31] <learn25> Help Please. I have downloaded and install PHP from ubuntuguide.org but when i test a php page its not working. it attempts to download my php file.
[06:31] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: if you are running linux on a ppc architecture mac-on-linux will do that
[06:31] <benplaut> rich: are you on a PPC?
[06:31] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: it sure can if you're not clueful
[06:32] <richard25killing> no
[06:32] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: same goes for backports
[06:32] <benplaut> then you can't
[06:32] <benplaut> with any speed, anyway
[06:32] <richard25killing> im not
[06:32] <richard25killing> is there a emulator that does this
[06:32] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, so dpkg  --force-overwrite?
[06:32] <crimsun> yep
[06:32] <richard25killing> i got crossover
[06:32] <richard25killing> for windows programs
[06:32] <joevandyk> gigaclon, is there anything in the works so that I don't have to do that every time?
[06:32] <richard25killing> but i also would like to run mac programs too
[06:33] <gigaclon> joevandyk, dunno i would like to know as well
[06:33] <hybrid> try vpc
[06:33] <benplaut> windows runs on x86, so the only the API's need to be emulated
[06:33] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: there's pearpc - but I don't think it's very mature and I believe it is tricky to set up
[06:33] <learn25> Help Please. I have downloaded and install PHP from ubuntuguide.org but when i test a php page its not working. it attempts to download my php file.
[06:33] <richard25killing> ok
[06:33] <richard25killing> anything elso
[06:33] <H00chster> anyone know what I can check if I can't mount a drive after compiling a kernel, the original kernel works fine, new kernel fails says it is busy.  /etc/fstab looks fine
[06:33] <benplaut> learn25: stop repeating yourself, and try asking in www.ubuntuforums.com as well
[06:34] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: you might be happier with something like vmware
[06:34] <richard25killing> ok
[06:34] <richard25killing> where do i get that
[06:34] <thoreauputic> *sigh*
[06:34] <richard25killing> im new
[06:34] <richard25killing> ok
[06:34] <vader_> wow!! that was a wicked ride lol, my router dropped the connection lol
[06:34] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: I would try google, personally
[06:34] <richard25killing> ok
[06:34] <learn25> just repeating coz someone might know the sol;ution and he may not read my msg earlier.
[06:35] <hybrid> VPC is a commercial prgram that does that richard25killing
[06:35] <vader_> <----may have to buy a new router sometime soon ;-(
[06:35] <Jet2k5> anybody here rocking an Albatron Mobo?
[06:36] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: you are really better off finding linux alternatives to the programs you like
[06:36] <joevandyk> So, when I try to play with Rhythmbox, it says "/dev/dsp already in use"
[06:36] <joevandyk> How do I find out what's using it?
[06:36] <joevandyk> And why can't more than one thing use it at a time? ;(
[06:37] <crimsun> joevandyk: are you using esound? And your hardware doesn't support pcm multiopen.
[06:38] <vader_> crimsun: sorry fpr s[elling your name wrong
[06:38] <vader_> for spelling
[06:38] <hybrid> roflol
[06:39] <hybrid> vader_: drinkin?
[06:39] <vader_> too tired, time for me to turn off the pc anf go to bed
[06:39] <joevandyk> crimsun, I am using crimsun.  I'm using nforce3 onboard sound... I thought it was supposed to be pretty good.
[06:39] <vader_> been up since 4 am
[06:39] <hybrid> lol its sooo hard
[06:39] <hybrid> wow
[06:39] <joevandyk> So why does it work fine in Windows, but not in Ubuntu Linux?
[06:39] <crimsun> joevandyk: err, using "esound" you mean?
[06:39] <Harold> Hello, goodnight
[06:39] <joevandyk> er, sorry.  :(  yeah
[06:39] <skyhawker> I found that with cedega, there's a -monitor-cdrom-eject command line switch which seems to work, but I'm stalled on CD no.3 for Half Life 2... I'm going to try installing something else.
[06:39] <joevandyk> crimsun, using esoudn
[06:40] <vader_> night all... shower then bed
[06:40] <crimsun> joevandyk: the nforce on-board sound chipset is quite good, but Nvidia has not given specs to Linux folks, so we're stuck using a more basic model
[06:40] <LED_scorched> i need help with a network card
[06:40] <hybrid> vader_: night
[06:40] <crimsun> joevandyk: complaints about not being able to use the soundstorm should be directed to them, not to Linux distros.
[06:41] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, that did not work at all
[06:41] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: what didn't?
[06:41] <freddy> xine any good for dvd playing?
[06:41] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, it installed, but no sign of it starting FF
[06:41] <Dr_Fate> freddy, yes
[06:41] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: so what does executing mozilla-firefox manually from a terminal do?
[06:42] <Dr_Fate> freddy, vlc is better
[06:42] <freddy> anything superior?
[06:42] <freddy> ah ok
[06:42] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, nothing
[06:42] <freddy> does vlc supports subtitles etc?
[06:42] <freddy> menu..etc
[06:42] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: purge all your extensions
[06:42] <visor> freddy: yes it does, and xine does it too
[06:42] <isai> when is ubuntuguide.org going to be back up?
[06:42] <LED_scorched> i have d-link network card that aint working.... any one got any ideas?
[06:42] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: erase ~/.mozilla, too, but back it up first
[06:42] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, ugh delete my ~./mozilla folder?
[06:42] <isai> mirrors?
[06:43] <freddy> i just built a dvd in director...and i have my video..and audio directories...now i have to figure out how to make a dvd iso...hrmm..dont know how
[06:43] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, dunno how to purge only the extension
[06:43] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: you don't have to delete it right off, you can just move it.
[06:43] <freddy> director is just throwing me the video and audio directories
[06:44] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, ~./mozilla is now clean
[06:44] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, still dead
[06:45] <Marble2> Can someone help me? I can't get totem-xine to detect my codecs at all, any type of file (except mpg) won't play
[06:45] <Marble2> it's so frustrating, and it's been like this for a while now
[06:45] <LED_scorched> i got a DEF-530TX+  DLink ethernet card that ubuntu won't recognize... and the supplied drivers are giving me a hassle
[06:45] <thoreauputic> isai: ubuntuguide loads fine here
[06:46] <richard25killing> hello
[06:46] <geneo91> LED_scorched:  i have that card and no problems here in fact two of them
[06:46] <LED_scorched> hmm
[06:46] <richard25killing> i need one more piece of advice
[06:46] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: execute sudo update-mozilla-firefox-chrome
[06:46] <LED_scorched> any thoughts then?
[06:46] <richard25killing> how do you log into here as a administrator
[06:46] <Marble2> anyone?
[06:46] <geneo91> LED_scorched:  have you set it up for dhcp
[06:46] <LED_scorched> what?
[06:47] <gigaclon> !root
[06:47] <ubotu> [root]  http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo
[06:47] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: generally it's a bad idea to run as admin ( root) - use sudo to run commands
[06:47] <richard25killing> do what
[06:47] <gregor_> hello all
[06:47] <richard25killing> i have to be root so i can install vmware
[06:47] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: read the URL ubotu posted
[06:47] <geneo91> LED_scorched:  what is it connected to
[06:48] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, ubuntu knows its installed as I have the update manager icon in red on the taskbar, but this damn thing won't start. I may just have to wait until a good offical relaease for ubuntu comes out?
[06:48] <isai> must be a dns problem...
[06:48] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: you run root commands by prepending "sudo" and giving your user password
[06:48] <LED_scorched> geneo91: what do you mean?
[06:48] <emppu2> i can't associate .wma file to beep-media-player because nautilus crashes everytime when i click "properties". how i can associate via console?
[06:48] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: did you update-mozilla-firefox-chrome?
[06:48] <geneo91> what nework device is it connected to
[06:49] <LED_scorched> geneo91: my router
[06:49] <freddy> mkisofs -dvd-video -udf -o dvd.iso dvd/ , does that looks correct?
[06:49] <geneo91> ok does it have dhcp or static ip addy
[06:49] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, yup
[06:50] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, no errors or anything
[06:50] <concept10> Firefox keeps crashing.  any suggestions?  it just started after an update
[06:50] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: ok, then you'll have to purge firefox again
[06:50] <Madpilot> evening, everyone
[06:50] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: mozilla-firefox, rather
[06:50] <LED_scorched> geneo91: dhcp
[06:50] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: this time, make sure you nuke /var/lib/mozilla-firefox, too
[06:50] <Marble2> Can someone help me? I can't get totem-xine to detect my codecs at all, any type of file (except mpg) won't play. it's so frustrating, and it's been like this for a while now
[06:50] <thoreauputic> concept10: see /topic
[06:50] <geneo91> ok then your card should work fine
[06:51] <LED_scorched> ok..
[06:51] <concept10> wtf
[06:51] <LED_scorched> so my issue is hardware, i'm guessing
[06:51] <joevandyk> crimsun, Ah, ok.  Thanks.  But I can complain about not having software mixing done correctly out of the box, right?  :)
[06:51] <concept10> can we go back?
[06:51] <gigaclon> whats the differenece between sudo and fakeroot
[06:51] <concept10> How can I downgrade?
[06:52] <geneo91> fakeroot is in your home dir
[06:52] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, purged and nuked
[06:52] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: now install 5.3 again
[06:52] <neighborlee> can someone elaborate on what instabiilities your seeing in colony cd2 ?
[06:52] <thoreauputic> concept10: see if you can find the previous version in /var/cache/apt/archives and install that with dpkg -i
[06:53] <hybrid> concept10: remove packages or dpkg old .debs
[06:53] <concept10> This really sucks... Everytime I hit the history button it crashes.
[06:53] <concept10> hybrid, huh?
[06:53] <joevandyk> Does acroread exist in 64 bit distribution?
[06:53] <crimsun> concept10: you probably still have 5.3 in /var/cache/apt/archives/
[06:53] <joevandyk> And what's the correct way to refer to running in 64 bit mode?
[06:53] <hybrid> concept10: you could remove packages or you could dpkg the debs
[06:54] <crimsun> concept10: if you don't, I've placed a deb online.
[06:55] <concept10> crimsun, where is your deb? I always clean my cache, maybe I should hold on to it
[06:55] <concept10> im looking at the wrong cache
[06:55] <crimsun> concept10: http://sh.nu/~crimsun/mozilla-firefox_1.0.2-0ubuntu5.3_i386.deb
[06:55] <HkS-3207> excuse me
[06:56] <HkS-3207> :)
[06:56] <concept10> crimsun, whats that 5.3?
[06:56] <joevandyk> crimsun, so, should I be using ESD for sound?  Why not ALSA or OSS?
[06:56] <HkS-3207> why was ubuntu developed so identical to windows ?
[06:56] <crimsun> concept10: look at the filename.
[06:56] <crimsun> joevandyk: you don't _have_ to use esd
[06:57] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, still no response, it installed without incident though
[06:57] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: make sure you don't have any mozilla-firefox processes running
[06:57] <richard25killing> ok im in sudo
[06:57] <joevandyk> crimsun, Alsa and OSS aren't working for me.  When I select them after killing esd, it says "failed to construct test pipeline"
[06:57] <Dr_Fate> ok
[06:57] <crimsun> joevandyk: cat /proc/asound/modules
[06:58] <richard25killing> i need to get permission to add files into my x11r6
[06:58] <richard25killing> folder
[06:58] <richard25killing> how do i do that
[06:58] <tim> does ubuntu come with a screenshot tool
[06:58] <gigaclon> yeah
[06:58] <joevandyk> joe@big:~$ cat /proc/asound/modules
[06:58] <joevandyk> 0 snd_intel8x0
[06:58] <HrdwrBoB> tim: yes
[06:58] <crimsun> tim: System> Take Screenshot
[06:58] <HrdwrBoB> tim: press print screen
[06:58] <tim> i'm in a different WM...what is the command?
[06:59] <HrdwrBoB> gnome-screenshot
[06:59] <tim> thanks :)
[06:59] <richard25killing> can anyone help me
[06:59] <joevandyk> Is four lines of output spamming?
[06:59] <richard25killing> please
[06:59] <Marble2> Can someone help me? I can't get totem-xine to detect my codecs at all, any type of file (except mpg) won't play. it's so frustrating, and it's been like this for a while now
[07:00] <richard25killing> i want to get permission to modify my folders
[07:00] <richard25killing> how do i get that in sudo
[07:00] <richard25killing> what do i type into terminal
[07:00] <richard25killing> for that
[07:00] <gregor_> so do I, I can't even create them.
[07:00] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: you are kind of jumping in at the deep end. And vmware isn't ubuntu so it's hard to get support for it here
[07:01] <richard25killing> i know how to install it
[07:01] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: you've also been advised to read about sudo
[07:01] <crimsun> joevandyk: what is gstreamer-properties> default audio sink set to?
[07:01] <thoreauputic> !rootsudo
[07:01] <ubotu> methinks rootsudo is at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/RootSudo
[07:01] <richard25killing> i have
[07:01] <richard25killing> im in sudo now
[07:01] <orangerange> hello, I've been running kiax without a problem. (Kiax needs iaxclient to run.) But today, I tried to run kiax and it says, " IaxWrapper::iaxc_initialize() result = -1      Error message:cannot initialize iaxclient!"
[07:01] <orangerange> What should i do?
[07:01] <richard25killing> i just need to put this vmware_drv.o
[07:02] <concept10> crimsun, should i remove the other firefox?
[07:02] <richard25killing> file into my /usr/X11R6/lib/modules folder
[07:02] <richard25killing> but i wont let me
[07:02] <crimsun> concept10: ...from backports? absolutely
[07:02] <wizo> hey guys, im having trouble with my apache2
[07:02] <richard25killing> says i need permission to do that
[07:02] <orangerange> anybody here run kiax?
[07:02] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: use the cp command to copy files: prepend sudo to do it as root
[07:02] <richard25killing> ok
[07:03] <crimsun> drcode: did you remove the firefox package?
[07:03] <richard25killing> what do i type with cp
[07:03] <freddy> cafe del mar..
[07:03] <joevandyk> crimsun, it was ESD.  I tried changing it to ALSA, but when I clicked "Test", i got that helpful failed pipline error.
[07:03] <freddy> i lvoe it
[07:03] <crimsun> drcode: err, sorry
[07:03] <crimsun> Dr_Fate: did you remove the firefox package?
[07:03] <drcode> yes
[07:03] <drcode> and put newer
[07:03] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: cp filetocopy /destiantion/folder
[07:03] <thoreauputic> *destination
[07:03] <Harold> So what's the latest big Ubuntu news?
[07:03] <orangerange> if you use KIAX, please say Hello.
[07:03] <adapter> hey I was wondering if someone could help me get totem movie player working?
[07:04] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, not yet, busy ATM brb
[07:04] <adapter> I tried playing an mpeg and it said plugins were needed for the codec, but I couldn't find the plugins anywhere
[07:04] <wizo> when i try and open the apache2 folder in my /var/log i get the error: Address already in use: make_sock: could nto bind to address
[07:04] <orangerange> or even if you don't use kiax, but you're a smart person and know how to fix errors, please say Hello.
[07:04] <nalioth> Harold: my two ibooks suffered heatstoke today
[07:04] <freddy> i hate mplayer...but it plays almost everything =/ i would like to use totem instead :(
[07:04] <Computer__Guru> hai, fsckers
[07:04] <Harold> nalioth, No...what do you mean?
[07:04] <freddy> nalioth, what exactly you mean by heatstoke? sorry my english sucks :)
[07:04] <thoreauputic> freddy: totem xine is pretty good
[07:04] <dabaR> Hello, whats going on?
[07:05] <rata> freddy, mplayer rules! :-P... but use xine instead of totem (i think)
[07:05] <thoreauputic> freddy: totem-xine sorry
[07:05] <Harold> dabaR, What's up, dabaR?
[07:05] <nalioth> Harold: got a little hot in here, and the ibooks went down
[07:05] <crimsun> joevandyk: lsof /dev/dsp* /dev/snd/*
[07:05] <dabaR> hey hey.
[07:05] <freddy> totem-xine? whats that...a mix ?
[07:05] <Harold> nalioth, You are kidding...both?  Are they okay?  What exactly happened?
[07:05] <bluefoxicy> I need a serious calander app
[07:05] <bluefoxicy> to schedule shit out.
[07:05] <Computer__Guru> hrmm
[07:05] <Marble2> Can someone help me? I can't get totem-xine to detect my codecs at all, any type of file (except mpg) won't play. it's so frustrating, and it's been like this for a while now
[07:05] <Computer__Guru> i think im gonna switch back to x-chat
[07:05] <nalioth> Harold: heat kills
[07:05] <Computer__Guru> brb
[07:05] <wizo> anyone had problems with apache 2?
[07:05] <bob2> wizo: best to just ask your question
[07:06] <dabaR> wizo: haha. Im sure someone had problems with apache 2.
[07:06] <thoreauputic> freddy: totem is just the front end - the default totem is totem-gstreamer in ubuntu
[07:06] <Harold> nalioth, Yes it does...are you having a heat stroke in Houston?
[07:06] <bob2> Marble2: detct your doces? did you follow wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats?
[07:06] <Harold> nalioth, Ooops.  I meant, are you having a heat wave in Houston?
[07:06] <joevandyk> crimsun, that command returns nothing
[07:07] <joevandyk> crimsun, that's a sweet command though.. i never heard of it before
[07:07] <freddy> when i had my ibook..it broke the glass on the table...because of the heat
[07:07] <Marble2> bob2: yes
[07:07] <dabaR> Marble2: ya, that page will tell you some stuff. If you are refering to wmvs not playing, you need w32codecs from backports.
[07:07] <freddy> i sold it after that...well...i as made to
[07:07] <freddy> hehe
[07:07] <freddy> s/as/was
[07:07] <Marble2> dabaR: NOTHING except mpg plays
[07:07] <Marble2> I have w32codecs installed
[07:07] <wizo> well, i did ask, when i type in sudo apache2ctl -k start it says httpd is already running, but then when i asked my friend to check if he could access the site, he cant
[07:07] <crimsun> joevandyk: ok, now open a terminal and try aplay -Dplughw:0,0 /usr/share/sounds/startup.wav
[07:07] <Marble2> it just won't recognize the files in the w32codecs package I guess
[07:08] <Marble2> and I can't figure it out
[07:08] <dabaR> Marble2: type in sudo aptitude search w32codecs and tell me if there are two ii beside it.
[07:08] <bob2> wizo: don't use apache2ctl
[07:08] <richard25killing> ok it keeps saying missing destination file
[07:08] <richard25killing> what does that mean
[07:08] <wizo> wad do u use then
[07:08] <joevandyk> crimsun, ooh, beautiful sound.
[07:08] <dabaR> hehe
[07:08] <bob2> wizo: sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 start
[07:08] <richard25killing> what go in that spot
[07:08] <bob2> and stop
[07:08] <Marble2> dabaR: one i
[07:09] <dabaR> bob2: is that ok, one i?
[07:09] <dabaR> if its installed.
[07:09] <wizo> ok now that i have started, how can i be sure it works?
[07:09] <dabaR> well, do you know your IP?
[07:09] <wizo> yup
[07:09] <bob2> wizo: go to http://localhost/ in your web browser
[07:09] <dabaR> type it into a browser then.
[07:10] <adapter> hmm so if someone could get back to me on getting video to play in totem I'd greatly appreciate it :)
[07:10] <bob2> dabaR: seems so
[07:10] <bob2> just don't use totem then
[07:10] <bluefoxicy> hmm
[07:10] <bob2> install gxine
[07:10] <LED_scorched> geneo91: um... can you help me config my card
[07:10] <wizo> bob2: that works, i see the page generated by apache2, however my friend cant seem to view the page
[07:10] <IceDC571> does anyone here have an nforce board?
[07:10] <Marble2> adapter: hehe, that's what I'm trying to figure out right now
[07:10] <dabaR> Oh, I have one too.
[07:10] <LED_scorched> ... i got it recognized now
[07:10] <bluefoxicy> does anyone know if I can make some sort of template in evolution so I can drop in weekly or daily tasks at appropriate time?
[07:10] <adapter> ok I'll try gxine
[07:10] <Marble2> dabaR: soo, any ideas?
[07:10] <bob2> wizo: then get your network admin to configure the firewall correctly
[07:10] <bluefoxicy> where a task is X time long and described in a certain way, and I click the starting point?
[07:11] <joevandyk> crimsun, I'm seeing references on the forum for libesd-alsa, but it's not showing up in synaptic.  You know if it's 32 bit only?
[07:11] <wizo> errr, im now at home trying to set apache2 up
[07:11] <bluefoxicy> also can evolution minimize to the system tray and alert me at task time?
[07:11] <Computer__Guru> nifty
[07:11] <bob2> wizo: and presumably your friend is elsewhere?
[07:11] <Computer__Guru> maybe ill stick with xchat for a while :D
[07:11] <dabaR> no idea, works here.
[07:11] <bob2> wizo: and you're behind a "router"?
[07:11] <wizo> yes, he is at his place
[07:11] <LED_scorched> i need help configuring a ethernet card
[07:11] <wizo> yeh, i port forwarded my router
[07:11] <wizo> port 80
[07:11] <patrickj> ello
[07:11] <bob2> apparently it's not correctly configured
[07:11] <crimsun> joevandyk: it's not just 32-bit only, no
[07:11] <patrickj> I have a problem
[07:12] <bob2> what is your ip address at home?
[07:12] <dabaR> wizo I trold you to use the IP.
[07:12] <dabaR> for that exact reason.
[07:12] <adapter> is gxine not in the package manager?
[07:12] <dabaR> but maybe it makes no diff.
[07:12] <patrickj> I just installed the multimedia codecs, and i tried to play my music in XMMS, and it just froze up, what do I do?
[07:12] <bob2> adapter: it is indeed
[07:12] <adapter> hmm don't see it
[07:12] <richard25killing> ok
[07:12] <dabaR> patrickj: right click on xmms, select properties or preferennces
[07:12] <richard25killing> you have to really help me
[07:12] <bob2> adapter: it's in the universe section of ubuntu
[07:12] <wizo> well, i do use my ip
[07:12] <patrickj> ok then?
[07:13] <joevandyk> crimsun, backport only?
[07:13] <chris> same here patrikj   on a nforceboard ; P
[07:13] <bob2> wizo: if your ip is the one you're IRC'ing from, it appears your ISP is blocking incoming port 80
[07:13] <dabaR> Then change the default output plugin to esound esd
[07:13] <wizo> really?
[07:13] <dabaR> I doubt it.
[07:13] <dabaR> so you type in your IP and it comes up with the page?
[07:13] <patrickj> eSound Output Plugin?
[07:13] <wizo> hang on
[07:13] <dabaR> ya
[07:13] <IceDC571> so everyone here isnt using an nforce chipset?
[07:13] <wizo> no i get to my router page asking for user name and password
[07:14] <dabaR> ha
[07:14] <wizo> if i use http://my ip here
[07:14] <dabaR> what IP did you type in?
[07:14] <cyphase> can someone explain to me why firefox is still on version 1.0.2?
[07:14] <dabaR> 192.168 something?
[07:14] <chris> im new to linux so
[07:14] <wizo> no
[07:14] <bob2> your isp is messed up
[07:14] <IceDC571> cyphase: its really version 1.0.4
[07:14] <wizo> 203.122.xxx.xxx
[07:14] <bob2> cyphase: in hoary? because hoary is stable, and thus doesn't get random new versions of software
[07:14] <Burgundavia> cyphase, the .6 security stuff has been backported
[07:14] <dabaR> wizo, why so protective?
[07:14] <cyphase> but it's causing problems
[07:14] <patrickj> my music wont play now it just skims through my playlist and doesnt play :S
[07:14] <bob2> cyphase: it of course has the security fixes from 1.0.6 backported to 1.0.2
[07:14] <wizo> <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:14] <wizo> :p
[07:15] <joevandyk> crimsun, should I try installing the nvidia audio drivers?
[07:15] <wizo> i got that ip from http://checkip.dyndns.org/
[07:15] <Burgundavia> cyphase, the latest issues also exist with 1.0.6
[07:15] <thoreauputic> wizo: anyone here can easily get your IP by the way
[07:15] <wizo> true
[07:15] <cyphase> like the inability to open a sidebar?
[07:15] <joevandyk> crimsun, (i just read a post saying that it worked for someone.. i don't even know if they exist)
[07:15] <Burgundavia> cyphase, yes
[07:15] <cyphase> or firefoc crashing when you try to close the current tab?
[07:15] <cyphase> ok then
[07:15] <patrickj> its like its reading every song as 0.000001 secons
[07:15] <richard25killing> i put cp
[07:15] <cyphase> lol
[07:15] <bob2> cyphase: 1.0.5 had some problems, which made it into the 1.0.2 security-fixed version
[07:15] <bob2> cyphase: it will be fixed soon
[07:15] <RQ> hi
[07:15] <richard25killing> and the stuff after and it wont do anything
[07:16] <dabaR> patrickj: you sure the drive is mounted?
[07:16] <bob2> wizo: your isp is weird
[07:16] <wizo> ohhh
[07:16] <richard25killing> what does missing destination file mean
[07:16] <wizo> how come?
[07:16] <LED_scorched> i need help configuring a network card
[07:16] <dabaR> bob2: how do you know, do you know who his ISP is?
[07:16] <lexhider> bookmarks not working for hoary firefox, is this the security-patch issue or different issue?
[07:16] <bluefoxicy> that's right, evolution is unstable.
[07:16] <bob2> dabaR: /whois wizo
[07:16] <patrickj> wut drive?
[07:16] <patrickj> its all from my window partition, and yes its mounted
[07:16] <wizo> uh huh
[07:16] <bob2> traceroute goes nuts trying to reach you
[07:16] <freddy> if i do this...lets say...cp -rf directory/ /home/freddy/newlocation    is there a flag that i can add in order to print what is it copying at the moment?
[07:16] <Computer__Guru> okay, have to restart xchat to save settings, brb
[07:17] <thoreauputic> richard25killing: I suggest you read some basic stuff about the linux command line at http://tuxfiles.org (it's there for beginners)
[07:17] <bob2> freddy: -v
[07:17] <wizo> hmmm
[07:17] <dabaR> bob2: so, you sure it is as you say? maybe his port forwarding is not done right.
[07:17] <crimsun> joevandyk: no.
[07:17] <geneo91>  /whois wizo
[07:17] <crimsun> it's better to do it this way:
[07:17] <freddy> so cp -rfv ?
[07:17] <patrickj> when I only have one song it seems to work gine...........
[07:17] <IceDC571> so i guess ill move back to windows just to get my agp drivers to work :(
[07:17] <crimsun> joevandyk: System> Preferences> Sound: make sure Enable sound server startup is _unchecked_
[07:18] <dabaR> patrickj: never heard of that issue, except when I tried playing songs from a non-mounted drive.
[07:18] <patrickj> but when I open my m3u playlist it just skims right through em all like they're half a nanosecond long...
[07:18] <adapter> bah none of these mirrors for gxine work
[07:18] <dabaR> why a m3u playlist, just drag them in there, or something, try if that works.
[07:18] <bob2> dabaR: no, I'm not sure, but I can't traceroute to him/her at all
[07:18] <Computer__Guru> okay, im back
[07:18] <bob2> adapter: sure they do
[07:18] <dabaR> I can ping that IP.
[07:18] <wizo> him
[07:18] <bob2> adapter: it's on the main ubuntu mirror, archive.ubuntu.com
[07:18] <bob2> dabaR: yes, me too
[07:18] <wizo> -sigh-
[07:18] <dabaR> wizo: double check the router is forwarding.
[07:19] <joevandyk> crimsun, it's unchecked now.
[07:19] <adapter> I know that
[07:19] <bob2> interesting
[07:19] <joevandyk> but i haven't restarted X since
[07:19] <dabaR> haha
[07:19] <crimsun> joevandyk: then go to System> Preferences> Multimedia Systems Selector> Default Sink> Output> Custom; Pipeline> alsasink device=plughw:0,0
[07:19] <adapter> but trying to actually download the file it won't load
[07:19] <wizo> hwo do i double check that my router is forwarding?
[07:19] <bob2> wizo: it does appear to be a port-forwarding problem
[07:19] <thoreauputic> adapter: sudo apt-get update
[07:19] <arbir> helo
[07:19] <IceDC571> does ubuntu have default config files in /boot ?
[07:19] <dabaR> wizo, log into its web interface.
[07:19] <IceDC571> .config files *
[07:19] <thoreauputic> adapter: or reload synaptic
[07:19] <hks3207> sorry
[07:19] <wizo> yeh
[07:19] <hks3207> i had a question

[07:20] <wizo> billion brand
[07:20] <crimsun> chris: are you using the esound output plugin?
[07:20] <dabaR> chris: I told you, right click on it.
[07:20] <wizo> but im pretty sure i prt forwarded
[07:20] <thoreauputic> chris: set the output plugin to esound
[07:20] <freddy> i dont know how i solved the xmms problem...but it works perfect now
[07:20] <freddy> sorry :(
[07:20] <chris> k ill try thanks all
[07:20] <hks3207> Why was ubuntu designed so user friendly that it made it look like windows ?
[07:20] <dabaR> Then choose properties, and output plugin. Set it to Esound esd
[07:20] <chris> thanks
[07:20] <wizo> lemme check my internal ip address
[07:20] <hks3207> Why was ubuntu designed so user friendly that it made it look like windows ?
[07:20] <hks3207> Why was ubuntu designed so user friendly that it made it look like windows ?
[07:20] <dabaR> welcome.
[07:20] <bob2> hks3207: it wasn't designed to look like windows
[07:21] <arbir> Hi.. can anybody help me to get my serial mouse working ?
[07:21] <HrdwrBoB> hks3207: please, if you want to troll don't
[07:21] <dabaR> wizo your router is likely <IP_ADDRESS> try that in a browser.
[07:21] <hks3207> it does bob2
[07:21] <HrdwrBoB> and if you're not, ask once
[07:21] <Computer__Guru> ubuntu doesn't look anything like windows
[07:21] <freddy> hks3207, its not like windows at all...wtf
[07:21] <hks3207> troll
[07:21] <dabaR> hks3207: why not?
[07:21] <wizo> its <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:21] <HrdwrBoB> hks3207: if by 'looks like windows' you mean 'has windows and a GUI file manager'
[07:21] <thoreauputic> HkS-3207: don't repeat, please. And I don't agree with the premise of the question anyway
[07:21] <hks3207> whats that
[07:21] <bluefoxicy> I can make ubuntu look like windows
[07:21] <Nocturno> hmmm
[07:21] <bob2> hks3207: well, you're welcome to your opinion
[07:21] <bluefoxicy> by modifying the panel layout in gnome :P
[07:21] <hks3207> yah but i mean
[07:21] <dabaR> wizo: for the computer, or the router?
[07:21] <hks3207> its good do
[07:21] <bluefoxicy> and setting a different theme
[07:21] <wizo> router
[07:21] <dabaR> ok, put that in a web browser, and log in.
[07:21] <hks3207> cuz its easy but i though that windows was designed as a rival of windows or sumthing like that
[07:22] <freddy> damn...is there a lack of xmms skins around the net or what?
[07:22] <dabaR> ya, windows is a rival of windows for sure. Agreed.
[07:22] <Nocturno> im an new use too for this OS ( ... :p)
[07:22] <bob2> hks3207: no, it wasn't
[07:22] <crimsun> joevandyk: what does Test do now?
[07:22] <bluefoxicy> hks3207:  nothing is designed to rival anything in the open source community
[07:22] <wizo> anyway,  inet addr:<IP_ADDRESS> <== i got that from running ifconfig and i put that address in the portforwarding section in my router
[07:22] <arbir> my serial mouse wont work.. i see the mouse pointer.... on the screen
[07:22] <bob2> freddy: there's thousands, all of which look almost identical
[07:22] <hks3207> bluefoxicy yeah, right ....
[07:22] <freddy> bob2, lol
[07:22] <dabaR> wizo: very goodf.
[07:22] <bluefoxicy> hks3207:  Although generally a lot of us want to see various crap unseated, we basically have a ton of shit floating around that's designed to be the best it can be
[07:22] <joevandyk> crimsun, "Failed to create test pipeline"
[07:22] <dabaR> Set the internal IP address of the cmputer to be that statically.
[07:22] <arbir> i edited my xorg.conf file.. but i cant make much of it
[07:22] <freddy> bob2, thats why ill just keep the default one ;)
[07:23] <dabaR> wizo: you did not fix it yet, tho,...
[07:23] <Nocturno> anny way  if ur mouse doesnt recognige u u can download maybe (?)
[07:23] <Marble2> Can someone help me? I can't get totem-xine to detect my codecs at all, any type of file (except mpg) won't play. it's so frustrating, and it's been like this for a while now
[07:23] <crimsun> joevandyk: hmm, did you choose the Custom sink?
[07:23] <bob2> arbir: so, restore your backup of that file again
[07:23] <bob2> arbir: and don't edit it manually
[07:23] <wizo> i didnt?!, i logged out and logged to amke sure the change was applied, and it was
[07:23] <bob2> arbir: then run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' and choose /dev/ttyS0 as your mouse device
[07:23] <wizo> but i juz cant figure out y it issint working
[07:23] <arbir> hold on bob2
[07:23] <patrickj> weird, I just had to add every file manually and make a new PLS list :d
[07:23] <LED_scorched> ethernet troubles here
[07:23] <dabaR> what port are you forwardif to that computer?
[07:24] <arbir> let me try what you just said bob2
[07:24] <patrickj> prolly cuz my old list was made in winamp
[07:24] <dabaR> patrickj: and that works, right? I had issues with m3us.
[07:24] <joevandyk> crimsun, yes.
[07:24] <wizo> port 80
[07:24] <freddy> i love -rfv
[07:24] <freddy> prints everything
[07:24] <crimsun> joevandyk: and what do you have for Pipeline?
[07:24] <patrickj> yes it works
[07:24] <freddy> yay!
[07:24] <patrickj> lol for some weird reason
[07:24] <freddy> thanks bob2
[07:24] <patrickj> 30+ hours of music :p
[07:24] <patrickj> for the hard webdesign in mind
[07:24] <wizo> coz i didnt mess with the config file, so i presume the default is port 80 and thats wad they say in the apache documentation as well
[07:24] <arbir> bob2 can i do this from a remote ssh prompt ?
[07:24] <joevandyk> alsasink device=plughw:0,0
[07:24] <thoreauputic> wizo: lots of ISPs block port 80 (a policy to stop people running servers)
[07:25] <joevandyk> crimsun, alsasink device=plughw:0,0
[07:25] <patrickj> where can I get XMMS skins?
[07:25] <LED_scorched> i got my card installed and recognized now... but i need to configure it now...
[07:25] <chris> thats awsome !  worked like a charm
[07:25] <arbir> my Ubuntu machine is down below int the basement
[07:25] <bob2> arbir: of course
[07:25] <arbir> ok thanks bob2 let me try
[07:25] <dabaR> wizo: make sure you have the port forwarded again:)
[07:25] <bob2> patrickj: www.xmms.org
[07:25] <wizo> thoreauputic: =(
[07:25] <joevandyk> crimsun, and lsof /dev/snd/* reports that gstreamer is using stuff in /dev/snd now
[07:25] <privoligist> is there a way to hide my ip on irc?
[07:25] <freddy> the only thing i dont have working is my tv card.....ive tried for days nadda :(
[07:25] <thoreauputic> privoligist: what for/
[07:25] <bob2> privoligist: not in general
[07:25] <wizo> dabar: how do i make sure of that? i logged in and out many times noe and its still the same
[07:25] <crimsun> joevandyk: grep playback /proc/asound/devices
[07:25] <bob2> privoligist: freenode lets you get a cloak, though. /msg nickserv help
[07:25] <dabaR> that is the way you do it.
[07:25] <freddy> but there is NO way im getting back to windows...lol.....no tv for freddy
[07:25] <dabaR> hm...
[07:26] <joevandyk> joe@big:~$ grep playback /proc/asound/devices
[07:26] <joevandyk>  18: [0- 2] : digital audio playback
[07:26] <joevandyk>  16: [0- 0] : digital audio playback
[07:26] <dabaR> freddy when you check your email, and that do you use the TV  card?
[07:26] <privoligist> thoreauputic: Just dont like the idea of my ip out there like that
[07:26] <dabaR> If not, use Linux when you dont need the card, use windows when you need the card.
[07:26] <patrickj> can Gaim handle using a webcam
[07:26] <patrickj> ?
[07:26] <adapter> arr I still can't get anything to work
[07:27] <adapter> not that I know of patrickj
[07:27] <arbir> bob2 its asking me lots of question about my monitor, display card etc
[07:27] <richard25killing> man i not getting any of this
[07:27] <dabaR> wizo: firewall on the computer?
[07:27] <patrickj> crap because I have a webcam and using it is a big thing lol
[07:27] <arbir> i dont know the answers to all those question.. cant i make it autodetect?
[07:27] <bob2> arbir: just accept the defaults
[07:27] <richard25killing> you are gonna have to tell me what to do
[07:27] <dabaR> richard25killing: whats the issue?
[07:27] <freddy> dabaR, hells no...windows...i lost all my data of 3 years....because of that os...there is no way im getting back...i swear to god i prefer not to watch tv...or buy a real tv.
[07:27] <arbir> ok bob2 let me do that
[07:27] <richard25killing> i can move a file
[07:27] <LED_scorched> tv sucks
[07:27] <richard25killing> cant move a file
[07:27] <joevandyk> crimsun, am I better off buying a supported sound card?
[07:27] <crimsun> joevandyk: what try plughw:0,2
[07:27] <crimsun> s/what//g
[07:27] <richard25killing> from my desktop to a drivers folder
[07:27] <dabaR> which file, where is it, where do you want it to be, and why are you moving it.
[07:28] <wizo> but hey, if they block port 80, i can change my ports cant i?
[07:28] <richard25killing> vmware_drv.o
[07:28] <dabaR> absolute paths, complate filenames, please.
[07:28] <wizo> to like port 79 or something
[07:28] <joevandyk> crimsun, alsasink device=plughw:0,2 gives me the same error.
[07:28] <patrickj> how Do i install themes?
[07:28] <richard25killing> to my /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers folder
[07:28] <dabaR> wizo: I would doubt that an ISP blocks ports.
[07:28] <arbir> bob i hit esc by mistake to skip options.. what will happen now ?
[07:28] <bob2> wizo: sure, as long as your friend knows to access http://yourip:79/
[07:28] <dabaR> YOu are in China, eh?
[07:28] <richard25killing> to run mac programs
[07:28] <freddy> s/what//g   <---how to fix this typo lol s/s/what//g/s/what/g    hehe ...weird
[07:28] <bob2> arbir: I don't know
[07:28] <thoreauputic> dabaR: they do it all the time
[07:28] <wizo> im in melbourne
[07:28] <arbir> oh man
[07:28] <arbir> let me try again :-)
[07:29] <richard25killing> im in sudo
[07:29] <crimsun> joevandyk: how about plughw:0 ?
[07:29] <patrickj> or where the skins directory?
[07:29] <LED_scorched> ?
[07:29] <bob2> patrickj: ~/.xmms/Skins/
[07:29] <arbir> i appreciate your patience bob..
[07:29] <richard25killing> but i can figure out what to type
[07:29] <thoreauputic> dabaR: it's common for ISPs to block port 25 and port 80
[07:29] <wizo> dabaR: some of my friends in other countries say their ISP block port 80
[07:29] <Dr_Fate> crimsun, nope, mozilla-firefox still does not show any signs of starting
[07:29] <spasmodo> Help please!  I hosed my permissions in all of /var directory
[07:29] <richard25killing> and ive looked at the tutorials on this
[07:29] <freddy> block 80? jesus..
[07:29] <joevandyk> crimsun, no change.
[07:29] <wizo> thoreauputic: so i guess i could use port 79
[07:29] <richard25killing> so someone please help me
[07:29] <spasmodo> can someone tell me what the defaults are?
[07:29] <dabaR> sudo mv ~/vmware_drv.o /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers
[07:29] <bob2> spasmodo: how?
[07:29] <dabaR> or rather.
[07:30] <wizo> i`ll brb
[07:30] <thoreauputic> wizo: you can use any port you configure, I guess
[07:30] <patrickj> ok so I copy the maXMMS directory to ~/.xmms/Skins?
[07:30] <crimsun> joevandyk: I guess then you should use esound
[07:30] <dabaR> sudo mv ~/Desktop/vmware_drv.o /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers
[07:30] <spasmodo> chown -R www-data:www-data *
[07:30] <crimsun> joevandyk: make sure you check the Enable sound server startup
[07:30] <spasmodo> so really ownership
[07:30] <bob2> that's pretty hard to recover
[07:30] <bob2> assuming you don't have backups
[07:30] <spasmodo> yoinks!
[07:31] <joevandyk> crimsun, Ok.  Thanks for your help.
[07:31] <LED_scorched> can anyone help me set up my ethernet card?
[07:31] <joevandyk> crimsun, Are the nvidia drivers bad?
[07:31] <dabaR> an ethernet card?
[07:31] <dabaR> does it not work?
[07:31] <Marble2> Can someone help me? I can't get totem-xine to detect my codecs at all, any type of file (except mpg) won't play. it's so frustrating, and it's been like this for a while now
[07:31] <dabaR> Is it shown in System>Admin>Network?
[07:31] <richard25killing> dont work
[07:31] <LED_scorched> i got it installed and recognized...but thats as far as i have gottem
[07:31] <LED_scorched> *gotten
[07:31] <dabaR> whats the error, please dont paset more than one line.
[07:32] <richard25killing> and im logged on as root
[07:32] <dabaR> richard25killing: ^
[07:32] <crimsun> joevandyk: they can give you headaches.
[07:32] <richard25killing> on sudo
[07:32] <crimsun> joevandyk: otherwise they're not bad.
[07:32] <IM> is there any way to run Ubuntu (or any type of Linux) on Windows?  Or run Windows apps on Linux?  I need a free program (besides Win4Lin)
[07:32] <dabaR> well, log out for one.
[07:32] <patrickj> lol linux is fine for multimedia
[07:32] <richard25killing> do what
[07:32] <patrickj> Now im definatly switching
[07:32] <freddy> IM, vmware...not free
[07:32] <La_PaRCa> Marble2, try to put a symlink to your codecs on your ~/.gnome2/totem-addons
[07:32] <La_PaRCa> !restrictedFormats
[07:32] <ubotu> well, restrictedformats is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats or 'codecs'
[07:32] <Marble2> La_PaRCa: I already have
[07:32] <patrickj> now that I know how to configure my system to listen to music and do webdesign
[07:33] <IM> VMWare is my only option?
[07:33] <freddy> do webdesign?
[07:33] <freddy> hehe
[07:33] <dabaR> definitely
[07:33] <freddy> sure thing..do webdesign
[07:33] <joevandyk> crimsun, Are there some sound cards out there that have better linux support?
[07:33] <dabaR> everyone spells it definatly.
[07:33] <La_PaRCa> Marble2, do you get an error?
[07:33] <LED_scorched> dabaR: its there and all... and its in my devise list... but i cant access the internet or anything
[07:33] <dabaR> ok, well, does it get an IP?
[07:33] <dabaR> do you use a router?
[07:33] <Marble2> yea
[07:33] <crimsun> joevandyk: the sblives have good support
[07:33] <Marble2> Video codec 'XviD format' is not handled.
[07:33] <patrickj> hey on Gaim I have to lists MSN Messenger and Individuals and they accidently got both created, they both contain the exact same contact, if I delte one will I still have the contacts in the other?
[07:33] <Marble2> XviD format changes depending on what type of file it is though
[07:34] <LED_scorched> dabaR: yes, i have a router
[07:34] <patrickj> ?
[07:34] <joevandyk> crimsun, they handle multiple sounds fine?  Using alsa or oss or esd?
[07:34] <crimsun> joevandyk: correct
[07:34] <bob2> spasmodo: please don't /msg me
[07:34] <IM> VMWare won't let me run apps from Linux
[07:34] <La_PaRCa> Marble2, open totem-xine from the console and paste the error to ubuntu.pastebin.ca
[07:34] <IM> Will it?
[07:34] <wizo> ok guys done setting up my port forwarding from 70 to 90 and configured my apache2 to listen on port 78
[07:34] <bob2> spasmodo: making it all root:root would be a good start
[07:35] <joevandyk> crimsun, Ok, thanks.
[07:35] <La_PaRCa> !pastebin
[07:35] <ubotu> rumour has it, pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/ http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ or #flood
[07:35] <wizo> anyone err, can test it out for me?
[07:35] <dabaR> LED_scorched: so the interface needs to be configured for DHCP.
[07:35] <freddy> IM, vmware will let you run the OS the entire OS..wether on linux or windows.
[07:35] <La_PaRCa> Marble2, make that ubuntu.pastebin.com
[07:35] <LED_scorched> dabar: how do i do that?
[07:35] <patrickj> ?
[07:35] <dabaR> wizo: what port?
[07:35] <wizo> 78
[07:35] <Marble2> La_PaRCa: there is no console error, just that error that shows up in the gui
[07:35] <bob2> tho postfix will be pretty confused
[07:35] <IM> So I can boot to Linux and get my Windows Apps?
[07:35] <dabaR> wizo: sure works.
[07:35] <gm78> On redhat systems, you can add a line to /etc/rc.local and that command will be run at every boot. does anyone know what the equivalent file is on a debian/ubuntu system?
[07:35] <wizo> it does!?!
[07:35] <dabaR> index page
[07:36] <wizo> yes thats the one
[07:36] <bob2> spasmodo: please stop it
[07:36] <LED_scorched> what?
[07:36] <La_PaRCa> Marble2, you sure? if you open it from the console it should drop an error
[07:36] <crimsun> joevandyk: np, good luck.
[07:36] <bob2> spasmodo: the place to look it up is in the packages you trashed
[07:36] <wizo> thx everyone
[07:36] <dabaR> LED_scorched: sorry, talking to wizo. GO to System>Admin>Network.
[07:36] <patrickj> hey also how can you copy/paste stuff to/from eterm?
[07:36] <patrickj> Ctrl C/V dont work :/
[07:36] <dabaR> FInd the eth you are looking for. THis is wired, right?
[07:36] <bob2> spasmodo: if I was trying to fix it, I'd look it up on another machine, or debootstrap a new ubuntu chroot and copy them from there
[07:36] <spasmodo> bob2 thanks, I guess.......
[07:36] <arbir> bob2 are you there?
[07:36] <LED_scorched> dabaR: yes
[07:36] <Marble2> La_PaRCa: I'm sure, full error is at http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/320055 though
[07:36] <spasmodo> bob2 - thanks, I will try that
[07:37] <arbir> do i have to reboot my machine ?
[07:37] <dabaR> LED_scorched: cool. um. open that then.
[07:37] <wizo> thanks bob2, dabaR
[07:37] <arbir> or just ctrl + backspace to restart my xserver ?
[07:37] <patrickj> XMMS is awesome :p
[07:37] <dabaR> wizo: sure.
[07:37] <La_PaRCa> Marble2, do you have read permission on the codec dir?
[07:37] <gm78> patrickj, have u tried bmp?
[07:37] <bob2> spasmodo: "find /var -exec ls -ld \{\}\;" on an unbroken machine will list everything you need to know
[07:37] <bob2> arbir: restarting X is plenty
[07:37] <dabaR> Others helped you get it working more than I did.:)
[07:37] <spasmodo> bob2 - sorry, I did not see you typig in this room
[07:37] <arbir> thanks bob2 let me try
[07:37] <patrickj> no, is it better?
[07:37] <dabaR> I helped you find out its not working.
[07:37] <LED_scorched> dabaR: ok... its opened
[07:37] <patrickj> whats the pack name on the repo?
[07:37] <arbir> what is the official Ubuntu way of restarting Xserver
[07:37] <dabaR> ok, well, what does it say, configured, or not configured?
[07:38] <patrickj> Logout andback in
[07:38] <gm78> patrickj, it is an xmms fork, the main difference being beep media player uses gtk2 instead of gtk1 which is used in xmms
[07:38] <LED_scorched> not configed
[07:38] <patrickj> NICE
[07:38] <patrickj> must look better
[07:38] <dabaR> You can find it at official.xserver.restart_for/Ubuntu.org.
[07:38] <dabaR> hehe
[07:38] <patrickj> whats the pack name in repo?

[07:39] <geneo91> me
[07:39] <LED_scorched> thank you dabar
[07:39] <gm78> patrickj, beep-media-player  it comes with mp3 support built in, u will need to install the dev package to build things like wma support
[07:40] <patrickj> and whats the dev package?
[07:40] <patrickj> I dont think any of my music is WMA :/
[07:40] <gm78> patrickj, if im not mistaken, it is beep-media-player-dev
[07:40] <gm78> patrickj, lol, thats a good thing
[07:40] <dabaR> LED_scorched: what it works already?
[07:41] <gm78> patrickj, xmms skins work on bmp also
[07:41] <patrickj> WHOA Bmp looks alot nicer :d
[07:41] <gm78> patrickj, go into the preferences window, looks way better, i found the xmms one to be kind of cryptic looking (my mom thought so to :-P )
[07:42] <Fiercetactics> no voice still i bet
[07:42] <Burgundavia> gm78, xmms has a crap interface, to be blunt
[07:42] <Fiercetactics> oooooooooooooooooooo
[07:42] <patrickj> WTF
[07:42] <gm78> Burgundavia, lol, nicely put
[07:42] <patrickj> it gave me an error once I tried to play music :/
[07:42] <gm78> patrickj, what did it say?
[07:42] <dabaR> ya, what error.
[07:42] <Dr_Willis> start/stop/play - works for me :P
[07:42] <Fiercetactics> patrickj, look in your prefrences
[07:42] <patrickj> well something about Number os entried=431
[07:43] <thoreauputic> winamp skins for winamp 2 work for xmms/beep too - just rename them with a .zip suffix
[07:43] <gm78> patrickj, try another song
[07:43] <gm78> thoreauputic, hmmm, i didnt know that
[07:43] <dabaR> well, you can t know it all, can you?
[07:43] <dabaR> hehe
[07:43] <patrickj> well it works when I manually add em, but it wont work from a playlist :/
[07:43] <deFrysk> beep is xmms with a facelift and i hate facelifts
[07:44] <deFrysk> xmms rules big time
[07:44] <gm78> patrickj, what prog did u use to make the playlist?
[07:44] <patrickj> XMMS
[07:44] <patrickj> is that a problem?
[07:44] <Fiercetactics> i get the following error when i try and play code red
[07:44] <Fiercetactics> ref_gl version: GL 0.01
[07:44] <Fiercetactics> ref_gl::R_Init() - could not load "libGL.so"
[07:44] <Fiercetactics> recursive shutdown
[07:44] <Fiercetactics> Error: Couldn't initialize renderer!
[07:44] <Fiercetactics> oops sorry
[07:44] <gm78> patrickj, it could be....i never make playlists so i wouldnt know, i just add all the files in my music directory
[07:44] <Fiercetactics> didnt mean to paste the whole thing
[07:44] <patrickj> well mines all under folder :/
[07:45] <gm78> patrickj, i personally use rhythmbox, i just use beep media player with the alarm plugin as an extra alarm clock. bmp/xmms wont work with my keyboard media buttons whereas rhythmbox does
[07:45] <patrickj> oh...weird
[07:46] <gm78> patrickj, i think its cause i use the gnome keyboard config tool to add the functionality to the buttons, and xmms/bmp dont recognize the gnome settings
[07:46] <Fiercetactics> how do i change my name during chat?
[07:47] <gm78> patrickj, try making a playlist in bmp and then clearing out your playlist and reloading the playlist file
[07:47] <dabaR>  /nick nick
[07:47] <geneo91> i have about 600 skins that work with xmms
[07:47] <yournick> lol
[07:47] <arbir> bob2.. my mouse now works.. but it is totally out of control. and keeps going to the bottom left corner and clicks things automatically
[07:47] <Fiercetactics> dabaR, THANKS!!!!
[07:47] <yournick> my bad
[07:47] <bob2> arbir: then the protocol is wrong
[07:47] <bob2> arbir: rerun that command and pick another one from the list
[07:47] <dabaR> Fiercetactics: yup.
[07:47] <arbir> which another one bob2?
[07:47] <gm78> geneo91, they should work with bmp too...and winamp maybe???
[07:47] <bob2> no idea
[07:47] <arbir> i choose ttyS0
[07:47] <bob2> 'sudo mdetect' might help
[07:48] <arbir> hold on let me try it bob2
[07:48] <gm78> Does anyone know how to make a command run on every boot?
[07:48] <bob2> gm78: what command?
[07:48] <arbir> mdetect
[07:48] <patrickj> kk well i got a playlist working now
[07:48] <Kovecses> gm78, in the sessions option with gnome you can
[07:48] <patrickj> I guess it was the fact that it was made in XMMS
[07:48] <gm78> Kovecses, needs to be run as root tho
[07:48] <arbir> " /dev/psaux
[07:49] <arbir> intellimouse
[07:49] <Kovecses> gm78, what is it?
[07:49] <bob2> gm78: what command do you want to run?
[07:49] <gm78> bob2, some hdparm commands and to make it unload and reload a kernel module a certain way at each boot
[07:49] <patrickj> well boys, i gtg sleep
[07:49] <patrickj> goodnight
[07:49] <gm78> patrickj, cya
[07:49] <dabaR> cya
[07:49] <patrickj> im gonna still be in here but away if thats allowed
[07:50] <bob2> gm78: install hwtools, edit /etc/init.d/hwtools.sh
[07:50] <thoreauputic> gm78: /etc/hdparm.conf and /etc/modules respectively
[07:50] <bob2> or that
[07:50] <Kovecses> how can i edit the gnome menus?....... i know this is a stupid question
[07:50] <gm78> thoreauputic, how do i edit /etc/modules to unload bttv and reload bttv tuner=2 at each boot?
[07:50] <dabaR> patrickj: I believe it is
[07:50] <bob2> don't unload it
[07:51] <bob2> just set it up so it's loaded with that option to begi nwith
[07:51] <gm78> bob2, is hwtools just a blank script where you can add your own commands?
[07:51] <bob2> no
