[12:01] <ROnewbie> Smygis: is it in the repositories ?
[12:01] <ikonia> Ubuntu-Noob: once again you don't listen " sudo fdisk -l /dev/sda" fdisk -l !!!!
[12:01] <Ubuntu-Noob> sorry dude
[12:02] <PurpZeY> ode: There is a command, "dpkg reconfigure" I don't know the exact usage, I am sure someone does, that may solve your woes, it should reconfigure gnome.
[12:02] <Sergo> ikonia: thanks
[12:02] <snoops> vip3rousmango you need vmware server to create the image, last I checked
[12:02] <KingPython> hie clever ubuntu users'
[12:02] <yagami> exit
[12:02] <Paddy_EIRE> could someone tell me if its possible to run a filesystem scan of my ext3 fs without the live cd, so that I just reboot and it does it...kinda like the win xp/vista chkdsk
[12:03] <Smygis> ROnewbie, dont think so
[12:03] <ikonia> Paddy_EIRE: yes its possible
[12:03] <iratsu> if i install ubuntu of a hard drive on this computer and then move the drive to another computer, will it work?
[12:03] <PurpZeY> ode: Did you change your xorg.conf around, this guide mentions that
[12:03] <Paddy_EIRE> how would I do that then
[12:03] <qnaas> ikonia: thank you
[12:03] <ikonia> Paddy_EIRE: mark the file system as ditry
[12:03] <vip3rousmango> snoops: ok well it wont let me install VMware server. that is the one that says its conflicting with somethineg else on the system and i need synaptic soething orother
[12:03] <ikonia> qnaas: no problem
[12:03] <Paddy_EIRE> ikonia, how is this done?
[12:03] <ikonia> Paddy_EIRE: I'm searching for the file you need
[12:03] <Paddy_EIRE> oh
[12:04] <OmegaCenti> !sound
[12:04] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3

[12:04] <ubotu> ronewbie: Package linuxdcpp does not exist in feisty, feisty-seveas
[12:04] <Califalcon> anyone knows if this is important, at reboot i get a error "PCI: Failed to allocatte memory resource" followed by the memory address
[12:04] <nickrud> iratsu, most likely, especially if you install to the first disk on the machine and make sure you put the disk in as the first physical disk
[12:04] <ROnewbie> Smygis: are you using it? are you happy with it ? is this the website ? http://linuxdcpp.berlios.de/articles.php?um=index
[12:04] <Ubuntu-Noob> ikonia    http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25625/

[12:06] <DNS> hi, my eth0 port exists but there it is not listed in ifconfig. how do i enable it
[12:06] <nickrud> iratsu, you'd need to fix /etc/fstab, and grub for starters
[12:06] <ROnewbie> Smygis: this may sound silly, but i really don't know this: the hubs are accessible by both LInux and WIn DC++, right ?
[12:06] <iratsu> nickrud: does ubuntu do some autodetection of what modules it needs to load when it gets installed?
[12:06] <ikonia> Ubuntu-Noob: I see the problem, you are fine. The partitions are there, but the disk type is set to DMRAID
[12:06] <Smygis> ROnewbie, yes
[12:06] <PurpZeY> ode: ??
[12:06] <Califalcon> DNS is ur net working atm?
[12:06] <ikonia> Paddy_EIRE: look at the checkfs.sh script in /etc/init.d
[12:06] <Ubuntu-Noob> can it be sorted??
[12:06] <DNS> Califalcon, what do you mean
[12:06] <nickrud> iratsu, yes. Or, at least it a year ago when I moved a disk
[12:06] <qnaas> Apt-get update leave me wrong.
[12:06] <qnaas> E: Some index files failed to download, they have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
[12:06] <ikonia> Ubuntu-Noob: are these disks part of a raid group ?
[12:07] <iratsu> nickrud: is it possible to re-run that part of the installation?
[12:07] <idefixx> wegstar: i googled some, out of curiosity, wasnt able to find anything.. but when you think about it the live cd installer does basicly the same thing, i guess its phyton so you can easly modify it, just have to strip the partition create and copy files parts, and thats it.
[12:07] <Ubuntu-Noob> shouldn't be they're indepentend of each other and i have them as seperate disks
[12:07] <Califalcon> DNS u have internet connection on that machine
[12:07] <DNS> yes, this windows pc is on the same network
[12:07] <ikonia> Ubuntu-Noob: you can try using fdisk to change the partition type - this shouldn't cause any data loss, but it could
[12:08] <Ubuntu-Noob> which command should i use?
[12:08] <Califalcon> DNS i mean in ubuntu does the net still work and u just don't see the interface or it doesn't work at all
[12:08] <ikonia> Ubuntu-Noob: "sudo fdisk /dev/sda"
[12:08] <spiker611> Can anybody help me with connecting my Sony HDTV to my computer (7900GS) via DVI-HDMI cable, please?
[12:08] <DNS> i only see the interface when i do ifconfig -a
[12:08] <DNS> not when i do ifconfig
[12:08] <ikonia> DNS: thats normal
[12:08] <Ubuntu-Noob> i'll give it a shot
[12:09] <ikonia> DNS: you have to specify the device name
[12:09] <Ubuntu-Noob> i can always recover if needed(i hope : s)
[12:09] <PurpZeY> spiker611: Describe the issue so that someone might help...=)
[12:09] <DNS> ok
[12:09] <DNS> i did ifconfig eth0
[12:09] <DNS> but there is no IP
[12:09] <ikonia> DNS: so set an ip
[12:09] <DNS> how
[12:09] <ikonia> use "system ---> admin ---> networking" gui
[12:10] <DNS> ikonia i use server edition
[12:10] <ikonia> DNS: then you should know how to set an ip address
[12:10] <ikonia> DNS: man ifconfig
[12:10] <Ubuntu-Noob> o not too sure about losuing all my stuff wil get itno windows and see if i can change in there
[12:10] <nickrud> iratsu, it's been a while, a sec
[12:10] <DNS> just this once, can you give me the command
[12:10] <Ubuntu-Noob> ty for all your help ikonia
[12:11] <DNS> i cant find it
[12:11] <ikonia> DNS: no - man ifocnfig
[12:11] <DNS> im learning
[12:11] <ikonia> man ifconfig
[12:11] <spiker611> My problem is that I have a HTPC with a 7900GS and a Sony Trinitron (CRT) HDTV with a HDMI input.  I bought a DVI - HDMI adapter and plugged my HTPC in.  On installing ubuntu, I could not change the resolution past 640x480.  I installed the nvidia drivers but I still cannot get a good picture even close to 1080i (which is the highest the TV supports).  What should I do?
[12:11] <ikonia> DNS: you can read the command from "man ifconfig"
[12:11] <Califalcon> spiker611 i have the same problem except i can go past 1024
[12:12] <Azhi_Dahaka> sane-find-scanner detects it
[12:12] <DNS> how do i exit man
[12:12] <ikonia> DNS: "q"
[12:12] <spiker611> califalcon what video card / TV?
[12:12] <PurpZeY> spiker611: You might be able to edit xorg.conf to change res. But, do it carefully.
[12:12] <Azhi_Dahaka> but scanimage -L doesn't work
[12:12] <Califalcon> spiker611 Nvdia 7600 Sli and LG 32' HDTV
[12:13] <spiker611> PurpZeY what exactly do I change because the many things I have tried have not worked
[12:13] <DNS> ikonia i did ifconfig address eth0
[12:13] <ikonia> spiker611: its possible that the dcc info from the TV is causing detetion problems with the driver. You'll have to try to manually over ride it
[12:13] <DNS> it said
[12:13] <ikonia> DNS: thats the wrong command
[12:13] <DNS> thats what i found
[12:13] <spiker611> ikonia - how do I override it?
[12:13] <ikonia> DNS: then you didn't look
[12:13] <ikonia> spiker611: its not straight forward, the guys in #nvidia may be able to go through it step by step with you
[12:13] <mapez> my hard drive makes violent noises when ubuntu is booting?.. anyone else have this?
[12:13] <ikonia> mapez: no
[12:14] <Califalcon> mapez maybe time for a new drive
[12:14] <Slart> mapez: nope... is it the same with other operating systems?
[12:14] <mapez> it sounds like it is seeking back and forth across the disk making vrooming sounds.
[12:14] <taime1> exit
[12:14] <Califalcon> how much RAM u got mapez
[12:14] <PurpZeY> mapez: Have you tried downshifting?
[12:14] <snoops> hope you've backed up your data mapez ;)
[12:14] <DNS> ikonia ifconfig netmask addr ?
[12:14] <ikonia> DNS: nope
[12:14] <mapez> Slart, Windows doesn't make those noises.. the drive is a year old..
[12:14] <mapez> Could it be my NTFS drive?
[12:15] <DNS> ikonia ifconfig dst addr addr
[12:15] <Slart> mapez: wow.. never had my drive do vroooooming sounds.. =)  ... well.. I would backup asap just in case it's going to die on you
[12:15] <ikonia> DNS: addr addr ??? nope
[12:15] <ikonia> DNS: READ the man page not just look at it
[12:15] <Califalcon> mapez i would make sure that the drive is not close to full and maybe do a fsck on it
[12:15] <DNS> ikonia ifconfig dstaddr addr
[12:15] <Slart> mapez: perhaps find some kind of hard drive diagnostic software and let that run for a while
[12:15] <ikonia> DNS: nope
[12:15] <ikonia> DNS: read the man page
[12:15] <DNS> i did
[12:15] <DNS> they say edit ip
[12:15] <ikonia> DNS: read it again, carefully
[12:16] <Paddy_EIRE> ikonia, nice one, now thats what Im talking about :D
[12:16] <ikonia> Paddy_EIRE: no problem
[12:16] <idefixx> mapez: take a look a /var/log/syslog .. are there i/o errors in there?
[12:16] <mapez> Califalcon the NTFS drive maybe has 5gb free.. I'll clean some up and reboot.. Slart, its tough to backup so much stuff :S
[12:16] <ikonia> mapez: why would it be reading your ntfs drive at ubuntu boot ?
[12:16] <spiker611> In a separate scinerio, how can I get the component video out of my video card to work at HD resolutions?
[12:16] <omnius> has anyone figured out whats up with 2.6.20-16 yet?
[12:16] <DNS> ikonia Set the ip network mask for this interface ? <---- that it?
[12:17] <Califalcon> mapez tell me about it i had to spring clean my old warez stuff 180gb worth of it yesterday to install ubuntu lol
[12:17] <mapez> ikonia, not sure maybe it mounts it, not sure.
[12:17] <ikonia> DNS: keep reading
[12:17] <Slart> mapez: I don't think ubuntu touches/reads/looks at your ntfs partition when booting.. unless you've made it do something to that partition
[12:17] <OmegaCenti> I cannot find this suggestion.                          Test different "Sound Servers": Go to System > Preferences > Multimedia Systems Selector. From there, you can test the different options. For me, there are four different sound servers installed, and only one works. This is probably your problem if you cannot play audio with xine or rhythmbox, but you can with xmms or helix/realplayer.
[12:17] <ikonia> mapez: if it mounts it, it won't do mass seeks
[12:17] <OmegaCenti> This was in ubuntu help debugging sound.

[12:18] <ubuntuNoobus> v3n0m, it worked dude
[12:18] <Slart> O.o   router exploit??  When bitten by this bug ops in #ubuntu remove users so they are no longer targets. To fix it have a look here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixDCCExploit
[12:19] <Califalcon> OmegaCenti System-->Prefereces --> Main Menu
[12:19] <omnius> in the grub menu list what does this do?  root=UUID=
[12:19] <gordonjcp> ompaul: ah
[12:19] <codyzapp> Hirvinen, does ubuntu have a automatic partioner setup for when you are installing so that it would divide the harddrive?
[12:19] <Slart> codyzapp: yes it has
[12:19] <PurpZeY> codyzapp: Yes.
[12:19] <codyzapp> ahh good :)
[12:19] <gordonjcp> ompaul: "don't buy crap routers" would be the order of the day then
[12:19] <codyzapp> is it hard to find or use?
[12:19] <Califalcon> mapez it would say something like I/O error seek error etc... a bunch of msg's with a bunch of sector numbers in it

[12:20] <ubuntuNoobus> ikonia do yu know how rtto set these hdd's right in xp?
[12:20] <mapez> kk thanks.
[12:20] <PurpZeY> codyzapp: No, it's part of the install, can't miss it.

[12:21] <superkirbyartist> I want to help a friend who is dual-booting Windows and Ubuntu.  He is clueless about the latter.
[12:21] <PurpZeY> snoops: It's not about bad routers....It's about open ports.
[12:21] <gordonjcp> ompaul: crap isn't related to price
[12:21] <gordonjcp> ompaul: look at cisco, total crap, very expensive
[12:21] <idefixx> mapez: it usualy a line that starts with 'I/O error,' its pretty hard to miss if you cant see it it probably not there.
[12:21] <PurpZeY> superkirbyartist: Is this friend also you?

[12:24] <omnius> nickud: should the grub menu.lst have different id's for different versions of ubuntu? eg 2.6.20-15 and 16?
[12:25] <Califalcon> taimel do a "aplay -l"
[12:26] <PurpZeY> omnius: It does sometimes...for newer kernels...this way if the new one fails, you can use the old one.
[12:26] <omnius> PurpZey: can i change them?
[12:26] <nickrud> omnius, I ended up switching back to /dev/hd* instead of the uuid's since my amd64 and i386 installs didn't understand each others uuids. All I know for sure is that they're a pain
[12:27] <taime1> crimsun: you there?
[12:27] <Califalcon> omnius u can change them editing the grub conf

[12:28] <omnius> i updated to 16 a while ago and it wouldn't work so i used 15, then earlier i updated to 16 again using the update manager and it rewrote the menu.lst and i couldn't start either 15 or 16
[12:28] <ivan> or know which i'm using?
[12:29] <PurpZeY> omnius: If you change grub conf you can load 15 automatically
[12:29] <Califalcon> taimel the easiest solution is to boot into .15 kernel, otherwise u will have to load the modules of .15 kernel into the .16 one
[12:29] <taime1> RaMu: i have the same problem, and i have tried all those links, and still i have no sound
[12:29] <nickrud> omnius, my backup menu.lst has identical uuid's for the boot partitions in 15 & 16
[12:29] <PurpZeY> taime1: You could just run the old kernel
[12:29] <palomer> hello
[12:29] <taime1> PurpZey: how?
[12:29] <palomer> ive tried installing ubuntu about 6 times on my computer
[12:29] <palomer> every time it either freezes before the install finishes
[12:29] <palomer> or the new install freezes
[12:29] <Califalcon> when u boot u should see a list choose the one with .15 kernel in it
[12:30] <omnius> upon inspection of my menu.lst_backup  i noticed that the uuid is different for the 15 and 16 version but in the new menu.lst it is not
[12:30] <palomer> memtest reports 0 errors
[12:30] <palomer> windows xp works fine
[12:30] <palomer> help!
[12:30] <PurpZeY> palomer: Have you verified the disk?
[12:31] <palomer> PurpZeY: is there a utility to do that?
[12:31] <PurpZeY> omnius: So why not make a new back up, and then edit it back
[12:31] <PurpZeY> palomer: It's on the install instructions page.
[12:31] <Califalcon> palomer just download a new image and burn into a new CD and try that
[12:31] <omnius> PurpZey: i want to know since the old uuid for 15 works can i change the uuid for 16  and have it work also?
[12:31] <taime1> palomer: have you tried the special install cd?
[12:32] <palomer> special install?
[12:32] <omnius> i suppose i could always just try and find out
[12:32] <Califalcon> taimel what is the special install cd for?
[12:32] <palomer> Califalcon: Ive tried with 3 ubuntu images and 3 mint images
[12:32] <palomer> both of them randomly crash
[12:32] <taime1> palomer: you can download an alternative cd image for older or stubborn computers
[12:32] <nickrud> omnius, those are the most important words in free softwareland ;)
[12:32] <PurpZeY> I think *alternate* not special
[12:32] <palomer> sometimes before i install anything!

[12:33] <magnetron> superkirbyartist:  is ACPI enabled in your BIOS?
[12:33] <superkirbyartist> There is no shutdown option anymore.
[12:34] <superkirbyartist> That problem just appeared a minute ago.
[12:34] <jvai_> superkirbyartist, is the whole panel on stuk?
[12:34] <Califalcon> palomer also try if u haven't yet the text base install instead of graphical
[12:34] <superkirbyartist> jvai_ no idea.
[12:34] <baconbits> Is there a way to install ubuntu on a flash drive (bootable) without a CD?
[12:34] <PurpZeY> superkirbyartist: That happened to me once, I just rebooted using CLI and it resolved the issue, can't say it will for you, for sure.
[12:34] <PurpZeY> baconbits: It is possible, yes.
[12:35] <jvai_> superkirbyartist,  "ctrl-alt-delete" to start x over, w/o rebooting, you'd just have to log back in
[12:35] <baconbits> PurpZeY Could you possibly explain how? The only tutorial I found says I need to burn the iso and load it.
[12:35] <jvai_> sumtyme gnome will freez
[12:35] <taime1> jvain_, superkirbyartist: ctrl+alt+backspace*
[12:35] <palomer> PurpZeY: got a link to the install instruction page?
[12:35] <Hogue> What programs are good for converting music files to wav or ogg or mp3
[12:35] <PurpZeY> Hogue: mencoder
[12:36] <PurpZeY> !install
[12:36] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - See also !automate
[12:36] <jvai_> riiight ty taime1 !!
[12:36] <Hogue> I have an assortment of music, some flac, ogg, wav and mp3
[12:36] <taime1> ;)
[12:36] <jvai_> lol
[12:36] <PurpZeY> Hogue: mencoder should handle all of your needs
[12:36] <Hogue> PurpZeY: Is it wasy to use
[12:36] <Califalcon> baconbits I think if u just extract the iso into a flash drive using some utility like isobuster and boot from the drive it should work just fine as a livecd
[12:37] <PurpZeY> Hogue: It is CLI I believe, but I think it's fairly straight forward.
[12:37] <taime1> how can i roll back my kernel to an earlier version?
[12:37] <omegacenti_> Phew... back.
[12:37] <CNTRLX> !synaptic
[12:37] <ubotu> synaptic is Ubuntu's Graphical Package Manager. For a good howto see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticHowto
[12:37] <Hogue> I dont want to do one at a time..
[12:37] <maccam94> someone please help me manually remove a package
[12:37] <PurpZeY> taime1: You don't have to do that, just set grub to boot the old kernel in grub conf
[12:37] <maccam94> synaptic and apt-get CANNOT remove it
[12:37] <PurpZeY> Hogue: I might be wrong but I think mencoder can do that
[12:37] <jvai_> taime1, thru the grub start up? maybe, before grub boots
[12:37] <palomer> i dont see anything to check the disk on those pages!
[12:38] <andre85> nulla  cambiato ragazzi
[12:38] <andre85> se non che ora sulle altre sessioni
[12:38] <jvai_> taime1, there's a choice of older kernel versions
[12:38] <andre85> ho le icone dei miei dischi, ma ancora senza barre
[12:38] <Hogue> Can someone recommend a gui.. I am NOT good with cli
[12:38] <maccam94> anybody? please? this broken package has been annoying me for DAYS, and it's preventing synaptic from installing other unrelated packages >_<
[12:38] <TheCougar> whats the command to edit a text file in the console?
[12:38] <idefixx> Califalcon: no just 'extracting' the iso wont do. you have to install a bootloader (usualy grub) to the usb device as well.
[12:39] <palomer> taime1: the special version is the LTS version, right?
[12:39] <maccam94> TheCougar: nano
[12:39] <Califalcon> maccam94 have u tried apt-get update?
[12:39] <antiroach> maccam94 try an apt-get -f install
[12:39] <maccam94> antiroach: doesn't work
[12:39] <taime1> how do i tell grub to boot the older kernel?
[12:39] <antiroach> hm weird
[12:39] <PurpZeY> palomer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/CDIntegrityCheck?action=show&redirect=CDIntegrityCheck and also already recommended, I'd consider trying to use the aalternate install CD.
[12:39] <maccam94> Califalcon: yes, the problem is the installed package is beyond repair
[12:39] <PurpZeY> taime1: Backup grub conf, then change the order or take out the new kernel.
[12:40] <nickrud> maccam94, could you post the output of aptitude reinstall <brokenpackage> on a pastebin
[12:40] <maccam94> it's mysql, and it's gone rogue. init scripts don't work on it, so the apt installation process failes
[12:40] <maccam94> *fails
[12:40] <taime1> is grub conf in /etc?
[12:40] <Califalcon> maccam94 which package is it?
[12:40] <TheCougar> thanks mac
[12:40] <maccam94> the error is that it cannot stop or start mysql
[12:40] <idefixx> taime1: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[12:40] <maccam94> TheCougar: no prob
[12:40] <taime1> cheers
[12:41] <nickrud> maccam94, I've manually edited the pre & post rm scripts for packages in /var/lib/dpkg/info before when I've had issues like that
[12:41] <maccam94> nickrud, sounds complicated
[12:41] <nickrud> maccam94, usually not too. post the error from the aptitude run
[12:42] <maccam94> k
[12:42] <omnius> well i got it to load up but the xserver wouldn't start, i dont know if thats elated to uuid or the new version
[12:42] <omnius> *related
[12:42] <palomer> PurpZeY:oh you meant the CD
[12:42] <barbara> how do I use gimp to fill the background with the color of erased
[12:42] <palomer> PurpZeY: doing that right now
[12:43] <PurpZeY> palomer: If it turns out the CD is good. Try using the alternate install CD.
[12:43] <redbox> barbara: ask in #gimp
[12:43] <Califalcon> #alsa
[12:44] <cables> What was the date that Feisty was released?
[12:45] <bbhrawks> What's up, gangsters? :O
[12:45] <maccam94> nickrud: http://pastebin.com/929251 i highlighted a couple lines, because regardless of what I try to install it tries to install that package first
[12:45] <palomer> like
[12:45] <palomer> my hardware is really standard
[12:45] <barbara> I am sick of white space in icon pictures xD
[12:45] <palomer> PurpZeY: the alternate cd is 6.04?
[12:45] <palomer> 6.06
[12:46] <palomer> the CD is good
[12:46] <palomer> no defects
[12:46] <PurpZeY> palomer: It's the same version, everything the same, but the install isn't GUI I believe.
[12:46] <bbhrawks> :O
[12:46] <PurpZeY> palomer: It is just used on older or stubborn machines.
[12:46] <nickrud> maccam94, is mysql running right now?
[12:46] <bbhrawks> Whatever will I do without muh GUI? D:
[12:46] <palomer> there a graphic safe mode
[12:46] <mwe> cables: april 19th I think
[12:46] <palomer> is that what you mean?
[12:46] <cables> mwe: thanks
[12:47] <PurpZeY> palomer: No, I meant the alternate install CD.
[12:47] <palomer> wheres the alternate CD?
[12:47] <cables> palomer: the install is text-only, but after it's installed it's a normal Ubuntu system w/ a GUI.
[12:47] <BinaryCortex> is there a good tutorial for authenticating to a windows domain using ubuntu
[12:47] <idefixx> bbhrawks: the installer isnt a gui... it installs the system in a differnt way to your computer the end result is the same. with gui.
[12:47] <nickrud> maccam94, ps -A | grep mysql will tell you; you'd have a task called mysqld if it's running
[12:48] <bbhrawks> idefixx: Good to know. :)
[12:48] <idefixx> bbhrawks: also.. there are a lot of linux systems that do very usfull things without gui ;)
[12:48] <maccam94> nickrud: i don't believe so, lemme double check
[12:49] <PurpZeY> palomer: I'm headed out, but I'm sure just about anyone can point you to the alternate install cd.
[12:49] <palomer> thx!
[12:49] <nickrud> maccam94, if you do, kill it and mysqld_safe (if it's present)
[12:49] <palomer> i could also try 64bit ubuntu
[12:49] <palomer> is that safe?
[12:49] <maccam94> nickrud: done
[12:50] <v3n0m`> I'm trying to get my sound device to pass through via sox to my sound card so I can hear it , but I'm having issues, any ideas?
[12:51] <nickrud> maccam94, ok, edit /var/lib/dpkg/mysql-server-5.0.prerm, and put exit 0 on line 2. Then run the remove again. This will skip trying to shut down mysql during the run
[12:51] <palomer> wheres the alternate cd??!??
[12:52] <MTecknology> how do I connect to a vpn?
[12:54] <MTecknology> is pptpconfig my best bet?
[12:54] <kkathman> in xchat - how do you place someone on "ignore" ??
[12:55] <MTecknology> kkathman, it's same for all irc
[12:55] <ShinSR71> kkathman : isnt it /ignore <username> ?
[12:55] <MTecknology>  /IGNORE
[12:55] <paritosh_> can anybody help me to get postgres working on UBUNTU
[12:55] <maccam94> nickrud: ok, now it seems to be hanging on configuring the new mysql package
[12:55] <kkathman> ahh I was looking for a right click on the name sorry :)
[12:55] <kkathman> hehe
[12:55] <kkathman> lazy :)
[12:56] <BinaryCortex> nvm i found one
[12:56] <lavar1917> is there like a calendar program I can download
[12:57] <nickrud> maccam94, try installing mysql-server-5.0
[12:57] <maccam94> /etc/init.d/mysql: line 122: /etc/mysql/debian-start: No such file or directory invoke-rc.d: initscript mysql, action "start" failed.
[12:57] <maccam94> Preparing to replace mysql-server-5.0 5.0.38-0ubuntu1 (using .../mysql-server-5.0_5.0.38-0ubuntu1_i386.deb)
[12:57] <paritosh_> postgres, anyone?
[12:57] <maccam94> i assume that's the same thing
[12:58] <maccam94> paritosh_: i'm not familiar with it, but have you tried googling ubuntu postgres howto?
[12:59] <paritosh_> maccam94: yeah. i got that part ok. but i cannot create a user. and im all burnt out on energy :(.
[12:59] <nickrud> maccam94, similar enough, I'd say. Try simply removing mysql-server-5.0. Get that done
[01:00] <nickrud> maccam94, and for luck, use purge
[01:00] <maccam94> nickrud: tried purging it, and it failed
[01:01] <maccam94> !!!
[01:01] <maccam94> remove worked
[01:01] <maccam94> but purge failed before
[01:01] <maccam94> weird
[01:01] <neverblue> it usually does :)
[01:01] <nickrud> maccam94, it should, after that change we made
[01:01] <maccam94> i tried purge after the change
[01:01] <maccam94> weird
[01:02] <maccam94> whoo
[01:02] <Hogue> FYI ALL  There is a great in tUbuntu Pages for converting audio files to any type.  You use Nautilus, right click the file and tell it what you want it to be.
[01:02] <maccam94> thanks, nickrud
[01:02] <nickrud> maccam94, all good now then?
[01:02] <maccam94> yup
[01:03] <maccam94> now i'll just hope amarok still works
[01:03] <paritosh_> i cant create a new user on the postgres
[01:03] <paritosh_> i do
[01:03] <paritosh_> sudo su postgres createuser and it gives me a couple of errors
[01:03] <Hogue> !mp3

[01:04] <nickrud> maccam94, you should still have your database in /var/lib/mysql , just reinstall mysql & reattach ;)
[01:04] <paritosh_> nickrud: you have any idea of using postgres
[01:04] <nickrud> paritosh_, never used it before. I stick with mysql, since it has some decent front ends
[01:05] <nickrud> *that I know of
[01:05] <paritosh_> i guess the method of installation follows similar lines?
[01:05] <the_gale> hey, what's the command to remove subfolders when deleting a directory?

[01:08] <TheShocker> hey
[01:08] <TheShocker> sn0 referred me to this channel from the quakenet #ubuntu
[01:08] <TheShocker> I have a weird nautilus problem
[01:08] <TheShocker> here's some screenshots:
[01:08] <TheShocker> http://sandcat.nl/~sven/network.png
[01:08] <sn0> hi :)
[01:08] <TheShocker> http://sandcat.nl/~sven/network.png  http://sandcat.nl/~sven/computer.png
[01:08] <TheShocker> hey :)
[01:09] <Bacon|ubuntu> wha?
[01:09] <TheShocker> for some odd reason nautilus doesn't know how to handle it's own links :\
[01:10] <Bacon|ubuntu> omegacenti_: something's not right
[01:10] <TheShocker> in the computer.png you can see the 19GB drive is recognised in the sidebar ok, but the link in the main window is busted
[01:10] <Bacon|ubuntu> I'm getting a 70/71 signal/noise ratio
[01:10] <omegacenti_> Bacon|ubuntu: whats up
[01:10] <Bacon|ubuntu> This isnt right
[01:10] <TheShocker> error message when you click:  couldn't display "computer:///Filesystem.desktop". the location is not a folder
[01:10] <omegacenti_> Bacon|ubuntu: Either its right, or your driver for your network card is bogus.
[01:10] <stefg> TheShocker: looks like character-encoding problems...
[01:10] <Bacon|ubuntu> Its the only 43xx broadcom driver
[01:12] <TheShocker> stefg: hmm, because of the %20 etc?
[01:12] <TheShocker> that wouldn't explain why Filesystem.desktop does the same :\
[01:12] <TheShocker> only thing I changed today was install and uninstall gdesklets and gdesklets-data
[01:12] <omegacenti_> Bacon|ubuntu: It might be correct then.
[01:12] <stefg> TheShocker: yes.. what OS is the server running?
[01:12] <TheShocker> language settings are still the same as when I installed, never fiddled with that
[01:12] <nickrud> paririagm bi
[01:12] <nickrud> erm
[01:12] <TheShocker> SMB server? well, there isn't one
[01:12] <Bacon|ubuntu> hm
[01:12] <Bacon|ubuntu> its quiet
[01:12] <Sub_Zero> I'm working on a system without much hard drive space, is there a maximum recommended percent capacity for ext3?
[01:12] <nickrud> he's gone, oh well
[01:12] <TheShocker> goes wrong before it even tries the server
[01:13] <jepeltw> hello all, I'm resizing my /home partition from 13 GB. I did resizefs then cfdisk to 1863168 blocks (7278 MB) at which point fsck complained, so I restored the partition to its original size and it mounts now, reporting size as 7.0 GB. Is there any way I can see what the recorded size in the superblock is?
[01:13] <Jared> Sub_Zero, how much space?
[01:13] <stefg> TheShocker: errmmm.. but you are brosing a local net in your screenies
[01:13] <Sub_Zero> well, for 2.4 gb data, can I make a 2.6 gb partition?
[01:13] <jcmcbeth> I've noticed a lot of network activity on my computer, and I can't figure out what is causing it.  Is there a way I can find out what process is using all my network resources sparatically?
[01:13] <Sub_Zero> (for /)
[01:14] <Jared> Umm
[01:14] <Frogzoo> Sub_Zero: ext3 reserves 5% by default, as long as you haven't altered it, you're fine
[01:14] <Sub_Zero> Frogzoo: is performance going to decrease as % capacity increasess?
[01:14] <onur_> anyone do know the NAT ? with iptables ?
[01:14] <jepeltw> I've heard you shouldn't fill a filesystem beyond 80%
[01:14] <onur_> anyone knows the NAT ? with iptables ?
[01:14] <Frogzoo> Sub_Zero: not really - fragmentation becomes an issue at 95%
[01:15] <Sub_Zero> Frogzoo: Ok. Thanks!
[01:15] <chris1980> how do i get slab to look more like a start menue?
[01:15] <Frogzoo> jcmcbeth: 2 choices - run iftop (quick) - or install/run snort - more comprehensive
[01:16] <chris1980> how do i get slab to look more like a start menue?
[01:16] <Frogzoo> jcmcbeth: also netstat -ant can show open ports
[01:16] <chris1980> ?
[01:16] <onur_> anyone knows the NAT ? with iptables ?
[01:17] <chris1980> how do i get slab to look more like a start menue?
[01:17] <jepeltw> ok, I dumped the superblock with debugfs and it says 7278 MB as well, why does fsck complain if the partition is sized the same?
[01:18] <Noah> hi
[01:18] <chris1980> how do i get slab to look more like a start menue?
[01:19] <Noah> Can anyone help me with my wifi woes?
[01:19] <chris1980> how do i get slab to look more like a start menue?
[01:19] <Noah> My computer can see the network, but can't connect to it.
[01:19] <nickrud> onur_, the one time I needed that I just installed ipmasq and dnsmasq
[01:19] <stefg> !samba | Noah
[01:19] <ubotu> Noah: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[01:19] <onur_> nickrud: is't enough ?
[01:20] <onur_> nickrud: is it enough ?
[01:20] <Noah> I thought Samba was fo sharing files with the network.
[01:20] <nickrud> onur_, it worked transparently for me
[01:20] <chris1980> how can i edit SLAb?
[01:20] <palomer> anyone know where the alternate install Cd is?
[01:20] <Noah> ubotu: I just want to connect to it for Internet access.
[01:20] <onur_> nickrud: can i pm ? for this dialog ?
[01:20] <bacon|ubuntu> mehj
[01:20] <nickrud> onur_, sure
[01:21] <Noah> No one can help me?
[01:21] <stefg> Noah, ok misunderstanding (ubotu is the bot), so you are having a wlan issue
[01:22] <Noah> stefg:  Heh, I just noticed ubotu was a bot.
[01:22] <stefg> !wifi | noah

[01:22] <burzum> can anyone help me? ive installed ubuntu 6.06 on a WD5000YS but grub does not boot :( ive checked /boot/grub/devices.map via a live cd and the menu.lst - everything is correct and my bios settings are also correct. besides the 2 sata drives theres no IDE harddisk
[01:22] <TheShocker> yup
[01:22] <TheShocker> and the clicking your heels
[01:23] <TheShocker> then*
[01:23] <Noah> stefg: My network is recognized and my ethernet USB blinks (it's set up with ndiswrapper).
[01:23] <Noah> stefg: I have Wifi-Radar and the built in network manager recognizing it.
[01:23] <MTecknology> burzum, can you pastebin yout menu.lst file for me?
[01:24] <stefg> Noah, sorry I'm no wlan expert... i swaer on good'ole copper :-)
[01:24] <Noah> stefg: Oh :-(.
[01:24] <chris1980> how can i edit SLAb?
[01:24] <chris1980> how can i edit SLAb?
[01:25] <burzum> MTecknology, hmmm tell me how :p i have no network connection from the livecd to the machine
[01:25] <shawn34> Is it possible to turn off the gdm and have x automatically log me in and start
[01:25] <betho> oi
[01:25] <MTecknology> chris1980, you're getting very annoying and less likely to get helped when you flood... judging by your flood - i'll bet you didn't try google very hard
[01:25] <Noah> Can anyone help me with wifi?
[01:26] <burzum> ahh wait... i have a running sys on another drive which i can plugin
[01:26] <silvertip257> I try to run:  chroot . /bin/sh -i  ;;;  I get:  /bin/sh: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by /bin/sh)
[01:26] <palomer> thx guys!
[01:26] <beau> howdy
[01:26] <Noah> My network is recognized, but not it won't connect.
[01:26] <betho> algeum
[01:26] <betho> alguem
[01:26] <MTecknology> burzum, i just want to double check the obvious
[01:26] <chris1980> i've been searching google
[01:26] <chris1980> I haven't found a darn thing on how to edit it
[01:26] <burzum> MTecknology, wait some mins i'll plug the other drive in and boot
[01:26] <Noah> I'm using ndiswrapper.
[01:26] <chris1980> I would like it to look more like a start menue
[01:27] <CNTRLX> My Synaptic Manager is not working like it was.  How may i get it back to normal?
[01:27] <Noah> It's recognized.
[01:27] <Noah> It blinks.
[01:27] <chris1980> like the vista one
[01:27] <MTecknology> chris1980, search google for irc etiquette
[01:27] <chris1980> no
[01:27] <Noah> Widi-Radar recognizes the network.
[01:27] <MTecknology> burzum, i'm finishing up something, just let me know when you got it
[01:27] <peanutb> CNTRLXm, how is is working differently?
[01:27] <Noah> So does Ubuntu's built in network manager.
[01:27] <nickrud> shawn34, you can use system-admin-login screen, one of the tabs has the option of autologin for a user. That's what I do
[01:27] <Mr_Awesome> what does it mean when a file is highlighted with red foreground and black background in bash?

[01:28] <peanutb> CNTRLX, connect to where? The internet?
[01:28] <Noah> There are no wifi experts :(
[01:28] <Noah> ?
[01:28] <CNTRLX> There is something wrong with the repo's or something
[01:28] <TheShocker> shawn34: you do use gdm if you want to autologin to X

[01:29] <peanutb> CNTRLX, what repos are you using?
[01:29] <cc1973> i am running ubuntu feisty fawn on parallels desktop for mac.
[01:29] <Noah> Sorry, I guess I am being a little impatient.
[01:29] <cc1973> screen resolution can only go to 1024x768
[01:29] <Noah> I've just been trying for the last four days, here too.
[01:29] <CaptainMorgan> I've had a look at the packages in synaptic... anyone recommend a decent hex editor from synaptic?

[01:31] <Wiseguy> hey guys ive got an orinoco pcmcia card and it has an external antenna, but for some reason the ipw2200 built into my laptop has more range and picks up more APs than the orinoco card... anyone know why this would be?
[01:31] <jpsamara> Hi! is there a tutorial for using .rpm packages using alien on ubuntu? I want to try the new monodevelop .14 and there's only a .rpm package from novell...
[01:31] <burzum> MTecknology, http://pastebin.com/929278 device.map
[01:31] <peanutb> jcmcbeth, actually, its /var/log/apache2
[01:31] <cc1973> Noah, I came in late, have you been here?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo
[01:31] <burzum> MTecknology, grub does not load, its like if theres no bootloader installed
[01:31] <nickrud> CaptainMorgan, aptitude search ~dhex~deditor shows a bunch; the only one I've used is ghex & it was ok
[01:31] <Noah> Yes I have been there, but thank you.
[01:31] <cc1973> k.
[01:31] <Mr_Awesome> does anyone here have the file /usr/etc/DIR_COLORS?
[01:31] <CaptainMorgan> thanks nickrud
[01:32] <peanutb> jpsamara, there is an ubuntu package in the repos for mono develop
[01:32] <MTecknology> burzum, what happens on boot?
[01:32] <peanutb> CNTRLX, are u using breeze badger?
[01:32] <MTecknology> burzum, just black?
[01:32] <Noah> cc1973:  Do you want me to tell you my problem?
[01:32] <burzum> nothing, it prints a message that theres bootloader installed
[01:32] <cc1973> k.
[01:32] <burzum> *no
[01:32] <cc1973> sure.
[01:32] <CNTRLX> how can i check exactly peanutb
[01:32] <nickrud> Mr_Awesome, no, but you can create one with dircolors > DIR_COLORS
[01:32] <Mr_Awesome> nickrud: ah, i see
[01:33] <CaptainMorgan> nickrud, this is the dirty stuff.. :)
[01:33] <MTecknology> burzum, did you ever try reinstalling grub?
[01:33] <peanutb> CNTRLX, when did u download the cd image?
[01:33] <burzum> more then once today...
[01:33] <CNTRLX> I had cd's sent to me about a year ago
[01:33] <burzum> MTecknology, http://pastebin.com/929279 the first 512 byte from the disk
[01:33] <burzum> its installed
[01:33] <peanutb> CNTRLX, ok so u do have breezy.
[01:34] <xbye> how do i sync my music from rhythmbox to my ipod? it detects my ipod as Apple iPod Music Player but when i drag and drop music to it, it just creates folders in the root of the ipod (doesn't use ipod format)
[01:34] <Noah> cc1973:  I've used ndiswrapper to connect my wifi (usb) device: Belkin F5D7050 to my network (on Windows).  Wifi-Radar and the built in networking service recognize, but cannot connect to my network (cannot find IP).  Gtkwifi can't even find my wifi network, and neither can networkmanager
[01:34] <MTecknology> burzum, it's possible it configured right but somehow installing to the hd got corrupted
[01:35] <CNTRLX> yes
[01:35] <MTecknology> did you try to reinstall?
[01:35] <peanutb> CNTRLX, what does " sudo apt-get update  " (without the quotes) in the terminal give you.
[01:35] <chris_> How can my Regular User be able to RWRWRW EVEN THO the folders/files im needing to change are RWRWRW?
[01:35] <burzum> MTecknology, also more then once
[01:35] <jpsamara> peanutb> But i must use the latest version, unfortunately... feisty has .12, i'm using .13 with an unstable debian package which is working fine... but i must use alien to get .14
[01:35] <MTecknology> burzum, sorry... i can't try to keep helping on something i don't know anything more about :(
[01:35] <CNTRLX> I do sudo apt-get update,  and it fails to fetch urls and lot of errors
[01:36] <burzum> MTecknology, no problem, thank :(
[01:36] <burzum> you
[01:36] <cc1973> standby
[01:36] <Tawanda> hey guys how do i fix the 915 resolution on my laptop
[01:36] <Mr_Awesome> ah, so apparently it was a dead link file. that would explain why nothing would work. :)
[01:36] <BEASTlu5t> Can anyone describe why my user would not be able to access files that are RWRWRW AND owned by my user?
[01:36] <Noah> k
[01:36] <IndyGunFreak> !915
[01:36] <peanutb> jpsamara, it should be as easy as " sudo alien whatever.rpm"
[01:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 915 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:36] <Tawanda> ya 915
[01:37] <Tawanda> for intel graphix cards
[01:37] <rustalot> do you guys know anything about mythtv?
[01:37] <MTecknology> burzum, http://pastebin.com/929279 Line 26 and 27
[01:37] <peanutb> CTRLX, what exactly fails?
[01:37] <beau> anyone have experience with configuring usb headsets?
[01:37] <xbye> does rhythmbox support transferring files -to- the ipod?
[01:37] <CNTRLX> hold on ill try it without synaptic open
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> hey
[01:37] <jpsamara> peanutb: thanx ill try that
[01:37] <Tawanda> my resolution is low how do i fix it
[01:38] <burzum> MTecknology, thats correct, its the msg that grub outputs if it fails to read from the drive
[01:38] <IndyGunFreak> !resolution | Tawanda
[01:38] <ubotu> Tawanda: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:38] <nickrud> CNTRLX, breezy is no more; you need to upgrade. http://www.ubuntu.com/news/Ubuntu-5.10-end-of-life . You might be able to find an archive somewhere
[01:38] <burzum> MTecknology, thats the programmcode grub uses to load first
[01:38] <CNTRLX> it just wont connect to sources
[01:38] <Tawanda> ya cheers
[01:38] <MTecknology> burzum, o, sorry... i thought that was from your hd
[01:38] <peanutb> CTRLX, see what nickrud said.
[01:38] <MTecknology> burzum, you know more then me..
[01:38] <burzum> it is - the first 512byte :p the space where the bootloader resides
[01:38] <beau> anyone have experience with configuring usb headsets?
[01:39] <CNTRLX> yes
[01:39] <burzum> MTecknology, but it doesnt help me hehe
[01:39] <BEASTlu5t> I have an issue with rwrwrw access with games on my Regular User, What should I Do?
[01:39] <ianm_> is it possible to get 2.6.22 in feisty?  (it re-adds support for my wireless card)
[01:40] <CNTRLX> well damn
[01:40] <CNTRLX> i guess its back to old debian
[01:40] <the_gale> if i want to edit my GRUB boot loader, where should i go?
[01:40] <IndyGunFreak> the_gale: open a terminal, sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:40] <BEASTlu5t> the_gale type grub in terminal
[01:40] <peanutb> CNTRLX, you could try doing a dist-upgrade... but i dont know how that would work.
[01:40] <stefg> BEASTlu5t: can it be the  drive is mounted readonly?
[01:41] <the_gale> IndyGunFreak: thanks
[01:41] <tha_toadman> anyone running mythtv on feisty??
[01:41] <nickrud> CNTRLX, I'm gonna check out etch soon myself. I used unstable up until hoary, and came here for the new stuff. Etch should be nice
[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> BEASTlu5t: you need root access to edit it.
[01:41] <BEASTlu5t> stefg: It's files on my Filesystem.
[01:41] <CNTRLX> well i dont think i could upgrade any more longer because of my hardware specs
[01:41] <BEASTlu5t> IndyGunFreak: Someone told me I didn't need ROOT access to play Quake 3
[01:41] <Tony_asdf> hola everyone
[01:41] <beau> I am soundless, the device shows up in alsa mixer but not in system->preferences->sound
[01:41] <CNTRLX> yeah, i want etch if i ever get a new computer
[01:41] <navets> I am trying to run warcraft 3, everything works normally but very choppy if I dont use opengl. When I use opengl all the colors are messed up, does anyone have any idea on how to fix this? do I maybe not have opengl configured properly or do I need some drivers or something?
[01:41] <Stormx2> Yuck
[01:41] <CNTRLX> for now its old debian
[01:41] <IndyGunFreak> BEASTlu5t: to play quake 3?... i wouldn't think so.. i was talking about editing grub.
[01:42] <BEASTlu5t> Sorry, sudo grub
[01:42] <tha_toadman> anyone here running mythtv?
[01:42] <Tony_asdf> I have a GrabShow 110 USB video capture device that I'm trying to use under linux... Google has no information about it\
[01:42] <TwigEther> Hey all, I've managed to (mostly) get a root-over-NFS setup working. Left with an error. Get a login prompt, but then some other services make the console die and (if I start gdm from init scripts) I can't login. Message is: "/etc/init.d/rc: 2: cannot create /dev/null: Input/output error"
[01:42] <TwigEther> Any ideas?
[01:42] <Tony_asdf> does anybody else have one or have any idea if it's likely to work under linux?
[01:42] <xbye> how can I get music onto my iPod from rhythmbox?
[01:42] <peanutb> Tony_asdf, can you do an lsusb and post it on the pastebin?
[01:42] <gamehawk> This is Noah.
[01:43] <IndyGunFreak> xbye: with rhythmbox, i'm not sure, but amarok works great with an ipod.
[01:43] <Tony_asdf> peanutb, no I'm not on that machine right now
[01:43] <gamehawk> register jrnyXEARTH1492
[01:43] <Tony_asdf> btw the machine in question is currently running CentOS
[01:43] <gamehawk> whoops
[01:43] <nickrud> CNTRLX, maybe a google search for breezy archive will bring up one that's still around. all the usual caveats, though
[01:43] <gamehawk> new passwod time :P
[01:43] <tha_toadman> a5benwillis: you there?
[01:43] <Tony_asdf> but I'm probably going to install Edgy on it tonight
[01:43] <peanutb> Tony_asdf, there is no way to know, unless we know what chipset that usb device is.
[01:43] <Tony_asdf> ok
[01:43] <CNTRLX> maybe
[01:43] <gamehawk> can't use that irc pass
[01:43] <cc1973> Noah?
[01:43] <gamehawk> how do i register?
[01:43] <CNTRLX> will it still keep me updated though?
[01:43] <MTecknology> I created a VPN connection through nm-applet... but it's not listed there- any obvious reason i'm missing?
[01:44] <xbye> IndyGunFreak: thanks. I've heard good things about Amarok but i'm trying to avoid installing and loading all the kde libs
[01:44] <gamehawk> irc, sorry for off topic
[01:44] <nickrud> no
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> !register | gamehawk
[01:44] <ubotu> gamehawk: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[01:44] <nickrud> no security, etc
[01:44] <gamehawk> ah
[01:44] <CNTRLX> shoot
[01:44] <xbye> I guess i'll try it out
[01:44] <Tony_asdf> there's absolutely no information about that device anywhere on the net except the usual drivel from the manufacturer :-(
[01:44] <DVS01> dd if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/drive.img   <-- would this create an image file of the drive at /dev/sda?
[01:44] <gamehawk> thanks
[01:44] <TheShocker> DVS01: yup
[01:44] <DVS01> cool
[01:44] <CNTRLX> ubunu was a great OS for my minimal hardware
[01:44] <TheShocker> speed it up a bit with bs=16384
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> xbye: well, then youcould try either banshee, or gtkpod, but i don't think either of them work as well as amarok.
[01:44] <DVS01> TheShocker thanks
[01:44] <TheShocker> so  dd bs=16384 if=/dev/sda of=/tmp/drive.img
[01:44] <IndyGunFreak> xbye: but i see your point.
[01:45] <xbye> i've tried banshee but it didn't recognize my ipod
[01:45] <TheShocker> np DVS01
[01:45] <DVS01> whats the default bs, TheShocker?
[01:45] <nickrud> yeah, I had a 466 celeron I ran up thru dapper, with a little stripping. A nice os
[01:45] <IndyGunFreak> xbye: i had a lot of probs with banshee and gtkpod...
[01:45] <cc1973> how do I get my resolution to be higher than standard 1024x768...using Parallels on a mac w/Feisty Fawn
[01:45] <xbye> according to docs it was the "RAID bug" but it's supposedly fixed in 7.04
[01:45] <TheShocker> 512
[01:45] <DVS01> bytes?
[01:45] <fiXXXerMet> How can I rotate an image?
[01:45] <IndyGunFreak> hmm
[01:45] <peanutb> CNTRLX, if you are willing to wait, you might download 7.04 or request a cd
[01:45] <TheShocker> so 16384 is quite a bit faster
[01:45] <Tony_asdf> I'm going to hit that machine and see what lsusb says brb
[01:45] <DVS01> thats bs =P
[01:45] <TheShocker> yup, bytes
[01:45] <TheShocker> indeed
[01:45] <DVS01> hehe
[01:45] <TheShocker> hey, dd is an OLD util
[01:45] <CNTRLX> Will it be good on my system specs though
[01:45] <TheShocker> when 1.44MB floppies were huge
[01:45] <CNTRLX> haha
[01:45] <DVS01> true
[01:45] <CNTRLX> ill wait
[01:46] <nickrud> fiXXXerMet, gthumb has easy image rotation
[01:46] <DVS01> in that case, why not use 64k or 128k blocks? would there be a performance enhancement?
[01:46] <peanutb> CNTRLX, what are ure system specs?
[01:46] <CNTRLX> brb
[01:46] <TheShocker> that would require mutiple reads per write DVS01
[01:46] <TheShocker> I tried it out once and 16384 was a good value :)
[01:47] <fiXXXerMet> nickrud: awesome -thanks
[01:47] <DVS01> ah ok
[01:47] <xbye> IndyGunFreak: out of curiosity, are you running KDE or gnome?
[01:47] <Tony_asdf> ok I'm back... the GrabShow is "ID eb1a:2820 eMPIA Technology, Inc"
[01:47] <roostishaw> Do I have the option during the Ubuntu install to tell it on which partition to install GRUB? (I'm using bootcamp; just had to reinstall 'cause grub screwed up something with GTD) This way I can simply remove the Ubuntu partition and grub will be removed with it (?)
[01:47] <teh_Ghost> hi
[01:48] <TheShocker> anyway, does anyone have a clue what could cause nautilus to behave like this (doesn't recognise it's own link anymore, like the ones in the main panel in this screenshot) http://sandcat.nl/~sven/computer.png
[01:48] <teh_Ghost> woot, talking from unreal tournament on ubunto
[01:48] <IndyGunFreak> xbye: gnome... KDE is the devil..lol, only kde apps I use is Ktorrent and Amarok, and thats only becuase they are 100% superior to their gnome counterparts
[01:48] <nickrud> roostishaw, if you use the alternate install cd, yes. Not sure about the live cd
[01:48] <ugarit> I've installed parallels and ran parallels-config and I get this error: make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-386/build: No such file or directory.  Stop., I have make: *** /lib/modules/2.6.20-16-386/ but not the build directory.  What do I need to install?
[01:48] <nickrud> and k3b
[01:48] <xbye> haha. ok, i'm installing amarok right now
[01:48] <peanutb> Tony_asdf, there is a driver, 1 sec and ill see how to install it.
[01:49] <roostishaw> nickrud: alternate will allow me to install grub on the bootcamp (ubuntu) partition?
[01:49] <Tony_asdf> k
[01:49] <Tony_asdf> thanks peanutb
[01:49] <CNTRLX> well anyways, i have the equivalent of a p3, 325mb of ram, outdated motherboard
[01:49] <nickrud> roostishaw, yes.
[01:49] <peanutb> CNTRLX, it should be fine
[01:49] <roostishaw> nickrud: and wont install to the main 'MBR'?
[01:49] <CNTRLX> ok
[01:49] <CNTRLX> cool
[01:49] <CNTRLX> When is the release?
[01:49] <peanutb> Tony_asdf, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/em28xx
[01:50] <peanutb> CNTRLX, 7.04 was last april
[01:50] <Tony_asdf> hells yeah
[01:50] <peanutb> CNTRLX, you have to download the cd image, that was the waiting time i was refering to.
[01:50] <CNTRLX> can i install it without hurting what i have on 5.10 right now
[01:50] <CNTRLX> alright
[01:50] <Tony_asdf> thanks peanutb... this is exactly what I needed
[01:50] <iFries> Hi, is there anyone that could tell me how to empty / blank / format a cd-rw ? Thanx!
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> 5.10?...lol, little behind the times there
[01:51] <peanutb> CNTRLX, yah. u could dual boot the two versions.
[01:51] <TheShocker> dvd+rw-format
[01:51] <TheShocker> it's part of growisofs
[01:51] <CNTRLX> ew
[01:51] <roostishaw> nickrud: I'm just paranoid. I just finished an OS X reinstall because grub was put in with GTD.
[01:51] <CNTRLX> i dont want to do that
[01:51] <omegacenti_> !cdrom
[01:51] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cdrom - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[01:51] <peanutb> CNTRLX, then what would u like to do?
[01:51] <CNTRLX> Can i update it so it still has all my stuff on it
[01:51] <nickrud> roostishaw, sorry, had a phone call. the alternate install cd lets you put grub anywhere you like.
[01:51] <IndyGunFreak> omegacenti_: did you get bacons wireless issues figured out?
[01:51] <CNTRLX> from the cd
[01:52] <MartezNJ> hi all
[01:52] <peanutb> CNTRLX, you could try upgrading to dapper, then to edgy, and then to fiesty, but it would take a lot longer.
[01:52] <CNTRLX> erg
[01:52] <reya276> I'm having some issues starting GDM and GNOME on Ubuntu Server
[01:52] <nickrud> CNTRLX, ah, peanutb beat me to it.
[01:53] <zerro> hi i have problem with sharing a internet on main pc to my laptop i have try the guide: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=91370 and it worked once but now nothing works .... plz help
[01:53] <reya276> can anyone help me
[01:53] <MartezNJ> I burned my music files from XP to a CD and am trying to use them in Ubuntu, but Rhythmbox tells me "The GStreamer plugins to decode MP3 files cannot be found" How do I fix this?
[01:53] <peanutb> nickrud, could you take over for me with CNTRLX, I have to go.
[01:53] <CaptainMorgan> nickrud, KHexEdit - much better
[01:53] <CNTRLX> thanks peanutb
[01:53] <omegacenti_> IndyGunFreak: I don't know if he wants me to try still.
[01:53] <IndyGunFreak> omegacenti_: i was just curious.. dind't know how far you two got cuz i had to go.
[01:54] <omegacenti_> IndyGunFreak: well if he still wants to try I will
[01:54] <CNTRLX> nickrud, In Etch, is it possible to configure it so it can operate on lower spec machines like mine?
[01:54] <nickrud> CNTRLX, on the phone, a sec
[01:54] <CNTRLX> aight
[01:54] <roostishaw> nickrud: ok, and putting it on that separate partition will not touch the system, unlike the standard install? (ie. Does the standard install put GRUB on the same partition as Ubuntu?)
[01:55] <a5benwillis> tha_toadman
[01:55] <a5benwillis> tha_toadman:
[01:56] <IndyGunFreak> roostishaw: i think it does.
[01:57] <roostishaw> IndyGunFreak: than what would be different about telling it to put grub on the same partition?
[01:57] <roostishaw> using the alternate cd
[01:58] <IndyGunFreak> roostishaw: it installs grub automatically, i know last night, i talked someone through installing Ubuntu on a USB drive, and it put grub on the USB drive(now granted, he disconnected his main drive, just in case)
[01:58] <iratsu> is there a way to rerun all the autodetection and configuration that ubuntu does on install?
[01:58] <astros> hi
[01:59] <IndyGunFreak> roostishaw: anyways, it worked perfectly, when he wants to boot ubuntu, he sets his bios to boot the USB drive first, which loads grub, and then he chooses Ubuntu.. if he wants windows, he sets the bios to boot his hard drive
[01:59] <IndyGunFreak> long away around it, but he was happy with it.
[02:00] <Abudda> nabend
[02:00] <roostishaw> IndyGunFreak: how do I do that on an os x system partitioned with bootcamp without screwing up the boot process (like the standard live cd install does)?
[02:00] <IndyGunFreak> roostishaw: i have no idea... are you trying to install on a usb drive?
[02:01] <Scooley01> I was told in here yesterday that based on my video card, I needed to install the fglrx driver to get the x server working. I downloaded said driver, and did "

[02:01] <roostishaw> IndyGunFreak: naw, a hdd partitioned with bootcamp
[02:01] <IndyGunFreak> roostishaw: you got me
[02:01] <roostishaw> IndyGunFreak: but still be able to restore it to a single partition
[02:01] <roostishaw> IndyGunFreak: :|
[02:01] <roostishaw> hmm
[02:02] <Scooley01> I was told in here yesterday that based on my video card, I needed to install the fglrx driver to get the x server working. I downloaded said driver, and did "sudo dpkg -i (DRIVER NAME HERE)". Is there another step after this? Because rebooting gave me the same "No screens" error saying the x server couldn't start.
[02:02] <akahige> anybody know why the ntfs-3g package in the synaptic repository hasn't been updated in five releases?
[02:02] <sincero> hi everybody
[02:02] <linuxgeekery> Scooley01: you have to run 'sudo aticonfig --initial && sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv' at the command line
[02:03] <Scooley01> I'm really a newb at this...is that exactly what I need to type, or is that two separate commands?
[02:03] <Scooley01> Or both?
[02:03] <pvt_harv> hello ubuntureros!
[02:03] <linuxgeekery> Scooley01: it can be either one.  the && is just a way of putting 2 commands together
[02:03] <sincero> any idea why i can't fetch  http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/dists/feisty/free/binary-i386/Packages.gz
[02:03] <Scooley01> So I type exactly that and it should use the driver?
[02:03] <linuxgeekery> Scooley01: it should
[02:03] <nickrud> CNTRLX, you can install something like windowmaker or even twm, just how low spec do you want to go :)
[02:04] <Scooley01> linuxgeekery Thank you, I'll be back if I need more help
[02:04] <dominicus> help: how can I make it so the date and document's location AREN'T printed?
[02:04] <TheShocker> actually, it's a way to put 2 programs together if the first one exits normally linuxgeekery ;)
[02:04] <CNTRLX> So , etch wouldnt be a problem for installing onto my system?
[02:04] <ihateusernames> hi, what are the best fonts to use in linux, your opinion?
[02:04] <Pelo> sincero,  because packageg.gz is just a standin name not an actualy package ?
[02:04] <TheShocker> ihateusernames: bitstream vera is really nice imo
[02:04] <linuxgeekery> ihateusernames: for the interface?
[02:04] <nickrud> roostishaw, you can even choose to use lilo during the alternate install. You got control, it's essentially the same installer that debian uses
[02:04] <ihateusernames> yes
[02:04] <TheShocker> enable subpixel hinting too
[02:04] <nickrud> CNTRLX, not at all.
[02:05] <ihateusernames> it is
[02:05] <TheShocker> makes all truetype fornts look a lot better
[02:05] <ihateusernames> my eyes hurt on it lol
[02:05] <CNTRLX> wow
[02:05] <dominicus> help: how can I make it so the date and document's location AREN'T printed?
[02:05] <TheShocker> you can do that in System -> Preferences -> Fonts
[02:05] <dominicus> ok thanks
[02:05] <linuxgeekery> ihateusernames: bitstream vera with smoothing on a glossy LCD looks really awesome
[02:05] <CNTRLX> i was worried because of Etch's minimal hardware specs were so high above me haha
[02:05] <linuxgeekery> CNTRLX: what specs do you have?
[02:05] <Pelo> dominicus,  that wasn'T for you,  which app ?
[02:06] <dominicus> whatever is the default app that handles printing in Feisty Fawn
[02:06] <CNTRLX> p3, outdated motherboard and 325mb ram
[02:06] <the_gale> i updated ubuntu, there's two more entries in GRUB.  can i remove them without any danger of ruining the boot process?
[02:06] <dominicus> I don't know its name
[02:06] <linuxgeekery> Scooley01: I forgot to mention you have to restart X (ctrl-alt-backspace)
[02:06] <ihateusernames> i dont like any of these font, they all hurt my eyes
[02:06] <Pelo> dominicus, which app are you launcing the print job from ?
[02:06] <linuxgeekery> CNTRLX: you should be fine with something like XFCE
[02:06] <sincero> Pelo well i can't update ubuntu
[02:06] <linuxgeekery> CNTRLX: or maybe openbox
[02:07] <CNTRLX> on etch?
[02:07] <dominicus> pelo: firefox
[02:07] <CNTRLX> gnome would be bad on etch for me im assuming?
[02:07] <stefg> CNTRLX: that's just fine... consider xubuntu, but there's enough ram for ubuntu
[02:07] <linuxgeekery> CNTRLX: probably be a bit sluggish
[02:07] <Pelo> dominicus,  in firefox,  in the menu  under files  in the print properties or whateever it is called
[02:07] <Pelo> sincero, are they all like that ?
[02:07] <CNTRLX> yeah
[02:07] <the_gale> exit
[02:07] <nickrud> CNTRLX, gnome might be sluggish, but there are other choices
[02:08] <CNTRLX> you guys are good help
[02:08] <linuxgeekery> CNTRLX: personally, I'd go with XFCE (if you don't enable any fancy effects).  If that's too slow, try openbox or fluxbox
[02:08] <CNTRLX> ok
[02:08] <xbye> how can I get amarok to import new music into my library? i was previously using iTunes, and it would organize the file structure in the form Artist/Album/TrackNo Track Name.mp3
[02:08] <IndyGunFreak> CNTRLX: whats the specs of your PC?
[02:09] <CNTRLX> p3, 325mb ram, outdated motherboard
[02:09] <dominicus> pelo: there is a properties tab but all I can define is a document type/format (eg. A4) and the margins
[02:09] <ihateusernames> I have another question, my wireless is connected with good reception too, but pages don't load sometimes (I reset my router and it starts to work, but I don't want to do this every time)
[02:09] <IndyGunFreak> yea, Xubuntu would do well.
[02:09] <Pelo> dominicus, hold on
[02:09] <linuxgeekery> xbye: If it's not copy protected, you can try the folder scan thing
[02:09] <CNTRLX> if i can get my hands on Etch id love that though
[02:09] <linuxgeekery> CNTRLX: Ubuntu is basically the same base...
[02:09] <sincero> Pelo: from today yes. it says network problem because of Failed to fetch http://medibuntu.sos-sts.com/repo/dists/feisty/free/binary-i386/Packages.gz 404 Not Found [IP: <IP_ADDRESS> 80]
[02:10] <IndyGunFreak> CNTRLX: but Xubuntu has the ease of Ubuntu, the support of the Ubuntu community, and is lightweight/fast.
[02:10] <Pelo> dominicus,   ff, menu> files , page layout (or someting) second tab,  bottom half
[02:10] <roostishaw> nickrud &IndyGunFreak: thank you both. after doing a little more checking ill go for it
[02:10] <ward_> is it possible to cluster 2 ubuntu PC's?
[02:10] <ward_> i wanna cluster my laptop and desktop when i need more cpu power
[02:10] <xbye> linuxgeekery: it's un-drm'd, standard mp3. I guess what I'm looking for is something that will copy the files into the music library, renamed to the right format
[02:10] <CNTRLX> with xubuntu can i upgrade and have the same stuff i do now with 5.10
[02:10] <Pelo> sincero,  assume it's a fluke at the other end and try again tomorrow
[02:10] <fujin> Hi.. I'm experiencing the 'white screen' issue with beryl & nvidia.. I thought this would have been long fixed, anyone know how to fix it? Newer nv drivers?
[02:11] <dominicus> pelo: thanks, you're the man
[02:11] <IndyGunFreak> !beryl | fujin
[02:11] <ubotu> fujin: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[02:11] <stefg> !beryl | fujin
[02:11] <ihateusernames> don't you have to edit the xorg.conf file?
[02:11] <ToddEDM> fujin... im having the same problem
[02:11] <Pelo> dominicus,  you should have been able to figure that one out on your own,  it's pretty much the same as in IE in windows
[02:11] <fujin> IndyGunFreak: nice one dude, you're officially a retard
[02:11] <linuxgeekery> xbye: I don't have amarok, but try the scanning functionh
[02:11] <fujin> ToddEDM: yeah, I recall it was a problem some time ago
[02:12] <IndyGunFreak> fujin: lol, why's that?
[02:12] <ToddEDM> !beryl
[02:12] <ubotu> Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[02:12] <fujin> IndyGunFreak: I'm quite aware what it is - that's not what I asked.
[02:12] <dominicus> you're right pelo
[02:12] <nickrud> CNTRLX, if you have lousy internet, http://www.aboutdebian.com/order.htm .  :P
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> linuxboy:  i did, Pelo and ToddEDM for whatever reason felt like interjecting.
[02:14] <ToddEDM> sorry IndyGunFreak i didnt read that part ;)
[02:14] <hollero> is there any particular reason why there is a package in the repository for eclipse but none for netbeans?
[02:14] <IndyGunFreak> silvertip257: what is busybox?
[02:14] <silvertip257> I would like some assistance in solving errors with my attempt at building busybox
[02:15] <lo4fer> hi where can I access alsa volume control
[02:15] <Pelo> lo4fer,  either witht eh sound icon in the top pannel or in the terminal with  alsamixer
[02:15] <silvertip257> IndyGunFreak:  it's a cli environment that includes just about every unix/linux command just like the big shells, but it's small
[02:15] <IndyGunFreak> silvertip257: was busybox in the repos?.. its in mine
[02:16] <silvertip257> IndyGunFreak:  I dunno, I downloaded it from busybox''s site and I'm trying to build it
[02:16] <silvertip257> build a live cd w/ it by following instructions
[02:16] <lo4fer> Pelo: ty
[02:16] <IndyGunFreak> silvertip257: uh, well if it sin the repos, wouldn't that be a lot easier.
[02:16] <CNTRLX> nickrud, may i add you to aim or something?
[02:16] <silvertip257> IndyGunFreak:  it's not for my installed system ... ok?  it's for a separate build
[02:17] <silvertip257> i've already got it downloaded anyhow
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> silvertip257: ok.. sorry,i can't really offer any suggestion, what errors are you getting?
[02:17] <Jared> Is there a way to set my taskbar where windows would be over it and not stop where it starts? I don't want to do autohide either.
[02:17] <osxdude> I have Beryl. When I start is, all I get is a white screen. What's wrong?
[02:17] <larson9999> linux rocks!
[02:17] <IndyGunFreak> silvertip257: well, i understand having it downloaded, but if you use synaptic, you don't have to compile it.
[02:17] <silvertip257> IndyGunFreak::  lots when I run make menuconfig
[02:17] <Pelo> Jared,  right click properties, check in there
[02:18] <IndyGunFreak> silvertip257: is it saying there's things missing(dependencies)?
[02:18] <silvertip257> IndyGunFreak:  it's not possible to do this project w/o compiling it  ... forget synaptic for now
[02:18] <roostishaw> ok, im back with a much simpler question: using the 7.04 instructions from [ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook ] , will I be able to later remove ubuntu using boot camp?
[02:18] <Jared> There isn't a way to make the window go  OVER
[02:18] <Jared> In that menu anyways.
[02:18] <silvertip257> lemme make a pastling IndyGunFreak
[02:18] <daviddd> how do i configure my sound so that when i record, i will only record the sound from mic but not with the music i'm playing in my computer? thx
[02:18] <IndyGunFreak> silvertip257: all you can do, is go through, find the dependencies you're missing, and install them, then it should install.
[02:18] <Pelo> Jared,  use the slider arrows,  when the pannel is slid to the side the app windows takes all the space
[02:18] <osxdude>  I have Beryl. When I start it, all I get is a white screen. What's wrong?
[02:19] <Jared> The thing is...I don't like doing that...I was just looking for a way to make it go over it :P
[02:19] <Pelo> Jared,  either that or play around with the stuff in  gconf-editor
[02:19] <CNTRLX> bb, smoke
[02:19] <Elvizar> Hi
[02:20] <ccpc> using Feisty Fawn, i want to know if linux-amd64-k8 kernel exits
[02:20] <unagi> hello everyone
[02:20] <Elvizar> I have a little problem: When I kill the X server, I refuses to stay dead.
[02:20] <ccpc> sudo apt-get install linux-amd64-k8 cant find it btw
[02:20] <Pelo> ccpc,  yes there is a version for   amd 64
[02:20] <Elvizar> How di I kill it until I need it again?
[02:20] <unagi> could anyone help point me in the right direction for a few problems im having with ubuntu??
[02:21] <Pelo> Elvizar,  you need a wooden stake
[02:21] <unagi> i hope i am not being a bother
[02:21] <ccpc> Pelo: do you have any link please ?
[02:21] <osxdude> Elvisar: use the TTYs.
[02:21] <Elvizar> I had rather hoped not...
[02:21] <unagi> but has anyone experienced the computer restarting itsself when searching for a file
[02:21] <Pelo> !download | ccpc
[02:21] <ubotu> ccpc: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[02:21] <unagi> or has anyone had any success with using DUN with an evdo phone?
[02:21] <Elvizar> er, TTY's? How? ( you can tell I'm a geek but I'm sill a newbie... LOL )
[02:22] <Elvizar> Not quite sure what a TTY is
[02:22] <osxdude> Elvizar: Alt+Ctrl+F1-6
[02:22] <Elvizar> OK
[02:22] <Tawanda> hi guys i've got an intel 945GM mobile graphix card how do i fix my poor resolution
[02:23] <Pelo> Tawanda,  I think you need the 915resolution package
[02:23] <ccpc> Pelo: -_- i've it already installed, i'll check the file on the CD
[02:23] <goldbond> hey how can i scan my network for the ip address of my server (for some reason my router refuses to show me the dcph table)?
[02:23] <sincero> Pelo: one more thing pls. i have some problems with playing some movies. quality of picture is not really good. i have ATI rage 128.  and i can't set it correctly
[02:24] <Tawanda> i installed the 915 package
[02:24] <Tawanda> but how do i get it to start each time
[02:24] <Pelo> sincero,  I have no experience with  ATI cards , sorry,  try using the restricted driver in  menu > system > admin > restricted driver , or the other ati stuff if that deosn'T work
[02:24] <silvertip257> Indy
[02:25] <silvertip257> IndyGunFreak:  take a look here:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25638/
[02:25] <silvertip257> IndyGunFreak:  take a look here:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25638/
[02:25] <Pelo> Tawanda,  that was the most I could do for you,  check in the forum or ask again later,  bit of advice be very specific
[02:25] <Tawanda> cheerd
[02:25] <Tawanda> cheers
[02:26] <Elvizar> I'm back!
[02:26] <IndyGunFreak> silvertip257: i don't know the first thing about what all that means
[02:26] <silvertip257> ok then Indy ... thanks
[02:26] <bran> how do I get a new UUID if I made changes to my partitions?
[02:26] <bran> I need to reconfiure fstab
[02:26] <IndyGunFreak> i still don't understand why you just don't use synaptic, but thats your choice i guess.
[02:26] <OhMyAudi> Hi all.  Is there a way for me to creat a shortcut key combo to enable/disable xgl?
[02:26] <Elvizar> The key combination forced a terminal login, but X is still uncooperative - it still ran
[02:27] <Pelo> !uuid
[02:27] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell:  blkid  (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[02:27] <sincero> Pelo: do you thing? 32 MB in 2D and 4MB in 3D is not enough
[02:27] <Elvizar> When I killed it, it came right back up...
[02:27] <unagi> is there a way to restore conf files to their original state?
[02:27] <Pelo> sincero,  I have no idea
[02:28] <Elvizar> Like a demented zombie... uuuhhh.... must...run.. X... uuuuuhhhhhh......
[02:28] <bran> !kdm
[02:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kdm - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:28] <osxdude> Elvisar: So you want to kill X? I don't think you can. For saftey purposes, probably.
[02:28] <Pelo> sincero, personnaly I would double the video mem in 3d  to64
[02:28] <NemesisD> anyone know how I can stop dropdown menus in firefox from showing up UNDERNEATH flash elements? its a minor thing but makes some sites unbrowsable
[02:28] <Elvizar> Yes, I need to kill X until I tell it to start again
[02:30] <uberushaximus> why not sudo killall Xorg?
[02:30] <Pelo> osxdude,  ask in #beryl or #ubuntu-effects
[02:30] <Elvizar> OSXDUDE: You probably do not have the right video drivers
[02:30] <osxdude> Pelo: Thanks. Is it on this server?
[02:30] <Pelo> osxdude,  yes
[02:30] <Elvizar> I think so
[02:30] <Elvizar> Soo..... Is there any way to kill X without it starting up again?
[02:30] <fujin> /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[02:30] <Shaneras> Someone knows where I cought free cedega??
[02:31] <Pelo> Shaneras,  cedega isn't free,  wine is
[02:31] <ffer> right.
[02:31] <starzie> right.
[02:31] <Bassetts> does ubuntu have a .bashrc file?
[02:31] <sincero> Pelo: thanks..... what card would you recommend?
[02:31] <daviddd> of course it does
[02:32] <daviddd> if you use bash
[02:32] <starzie> so i got ter feisty in on this thingie - quad core + 8800gtx
[02:32] <Bassetts> daviddd, for the default terminal, i am pretty new to this
[02:32] <Pelo> sincero, I'm no good with hardware questions,  I still use my onboard intel card , and I don,t need anyting more
[02:32] <linuxgeekery> oslo: still need help?
[02:32] <starzie> problem is i get that darn message about the mismatch between versions of the driver [nvidia-glx-new]  and the xorg module
[02:32] <linuxgeekery> oslo: wrong person
[02:32] <starzie> any good fixes?
[02:32] <roostishaw> Using the 7.04 instructions from [ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBook ] , will I be able to later remove ubuntu using boot camp?
[02:33] <linuxgeekery> roostishaw: yes, just resize the partition so os x fills up the whole disk
[02:33] <starzie> btw before you recommend it the restricted modules/software thing did _not_ work and i have not gone to the nvidia site yet
[02:33] <starzie> anything stopping me??
[02:33] <starzie> please someone stop me????
[02:33] <sincero> Pelo: thanks
[02:33] <Shaneras> What is better Mandriva or Ubuntu?
[02:33] <starzie> neither >.>
[02:33] <starzie> whatever you prefer is best
[02:33] <starzie> its about choice
[02:33] <linuxgeekery> Shaneras: I'd say Ubuntu, but then this is the ubuntu channel XD
[02:33] <Elvizar> Thank you, it worked! X died! HOORAY!!!!!
[02:33] <Pelo> Shaneras,  look at the channel name
[02:33] <starzie> i prefer ubuntu
[02:33] <Elvizar> Bye!
[02:33] <starzie> so um
[02:33] <unagi> i really really want to like ubuntu
[02:34] <starzie> neone on the nvidia thingie?
[02:34] <linuxgeekery> Shaneras: but it's whatever works for you
[02:34] <Shaneras> xD
[02:34] <unagi> how do you log into root?
[02:34] <linuxgeekery> unagi: sudo su
[02:34] <JuJuBee> I really need some help.  NIS seems to have broken (or something it depends on) in a recent update and I cannot get ldap configured properly.  What options do I have  for centralized login/authentication for students in my classroom?
[02:34] <ToddEDM2> !root
[02:34] <ubotu> do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[02:34] <roostishaw> linuxgeekery: have you done this before? when I followed this guide with 6.10, boot camp refused to resize it and I ended up having to reinstall os x
[02:34] <JuJuBee> Using Feisty on server and workstations.
[02:34] <xbye> IndyGunFreak: amarok is amazing
[02:34] <Shaneras> I dont like windows , so I want to install ubuntu , but I like games , I install free cedega but I dont know how use!!!
[02:35] <unagi> everyone elave?
[02:35] <xbye> i'm so glad i tried it
[02:35] <IndyGunFreak> xbye: told you, its the best for ipod if you ask me..
[02:35] <IndyGunFreak> glad you like it.
[02:35] <starzie> nyaaa????????
[02:35] <xbye> IndyGunFreak: do you know of a way to have it automatically organize imported songs?
[02:35] <Pelo> starzie,  if you feel ignored just restate your problem
[02:35] <Pelo> starzie,  and don'T murder the staff
[02:36] <starzie> Pelo: bah
[02:36] <CoolGuy21> why is ubuntu 7 supported till 08 when 6 is supported till 09 ?
[02:36] <starzie> its more fun to kill em :P
[02:36] <linuxgeekery> roostishaw: yeah...  Because Im from Brazil
[02:36] <starzie> also you shouldnt restate problem too much
[02:36] <IndyGunFreak> xbye: by what?.. artist name?
[02:36] <linuxgeekery> CoolGuy21: 6.06 was the long term edition
[02:36] <unagi> how do u log out of root after that
[02:36] <cables> starzie: What version of Ubuntu are you using? There's a way to make that not happen.
[02:36] <unagi> nevermind
[02:36] <unagi> exit
[02:36] <Faxedhead> alquien sabe de algun canal de habla hispana ??
[02:36] <linuxgeekery> !lts
[02:36] <ubotu> LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server.
[02:36] <Blue42> lol... starzie, actually I prefer that the nvidia driver be manually updated, you ever notice how the nvidia-settings package doesn't have all options?
[02:36] <JuJuBee> So is  NIS and LDAP my only options?
[02:36] <Cool_Nick> How do I get vnc4server to load xfce?  I tried putting 'xfce &' in the xstartup file.
[02:36] <Shaneras> Are you understanding my english?? Because Im from Brazil
[02:36] <xbye> IndyGunFreak: Artist/Album/TrackNum Track Name.mp3 format

[02:36] <tatters> when I press  "a" it comes out As "A" .... ?
[02:36] <unagi> is there a way to revert conf files to the original state?
[02:36] <Blue42> but if you do it by using the binary from nvidia, everything works better
[02:37] <unagi> ive been tinkering trying to get my bluetooth dial up to work and i dunno what ive done lately......

[02:39] <TheVault> I was wondering if I could use Vmware Player to virtualize Windows Xp that I already have on my machine. So right now I am dual booting, is there a way to use Vmware Player to emulate Windows Xp the current installation on my computer?

[02:40] <Cool_Nick> but you can do sudo su
[02:40] <TheVault> linuxgeekery: Will that take up more space if I make a disk image?

(im kinda out of ideas for google)
[03:12] <__mikem> Akuma_, what exactly is happening?
[03:12] <Frogzoo> niriven: /var/log/ mostly
[03:13] <niriven> Frogzoo, Ah, makes sense, anything else? And, does /var/log ever get removed?
[03:13] <sgrove_> if I have a machine with a fresh install of feisty which constantly boots to a black screen, what would be the most prudent way of getting it fixed?
[03:13] <__mikem> sgrove_, try going into a root shell, if it boots, install binary video drivers

[03:28] <firefly2442> it's bursting from nothing to full
[03:28] <sgrove_> wonder why it's not installing then?
[03:29] <kitche> sgrove_: what do you mean by not installing

[03:29] <sgrove_> err, not working, rather...it works every now and then, but it's not consistent

[03:30] <kitche> sgrove_: what does glxinfo tell you about the card?
[03:30] <__mikem> Torahtee1, you can fix that by opening your terminal, and typing the name of the game's binary file

[03:30] <kent> hi i installed ntfs write support and now my usb drive wont mount. can anyone help me please?
[03:30] <sgrove_> whenever I boot, the screen goes black after the grub esc message, stays black for an unusual amount of time, and eventually the screen changes and a "loading" mouse cursor appears, but just for a few seconds. the screen then goes scrambled and it goes black and stays that way.
[03:30] <sgrove_> kitche: I'll check
[03:30] <godofredo07> firefly2442: How about XQF?
[03:30] <Torahtee1> TY :)
[03:30] <firefly2442> godofredo07: nope sorry, what are you trying to do?
[03:31] <sgrove_> unable to open display (null)
[03:32] <kitche> sgrove_: X might not be configured correctly either can you go to a tty with ctrl+alt+f2 or alt+f2
[03:32] <tschaka> godofredo07 whats the matter?
[03:32] <godofredo07> firefly2442: I have a simple custom command that selects the right patch for the game (2.60 and 2.60b) and it seems to work on everything but 2.60b. I get the error unknown version ET 2.60b linux-i386 May 8 2006
[03:32] <godofredo07> tschaka: look at what i sent to firefly please
[03:32] <tschaka> yep
[03:32] <sgrove_> I can when I'm in the root console, but not once it's booted up into X
[03:33] <firefly2442> godofredo07: doesn't the patch overwrite it and "patch" the game?
[03:33] <kitche> sgrove_: then your most likely missing some things for X
[03:33] <sgrove_> should I perhaps reinstall the machine?
[03:33] <sgrove_> but it was a clean install, so it seems strange that I would have the problems
[03:34] <root__> cd /ubuntu-otfftopic
[03:34] <root__> lol opps
[03:34] <root__> oops
[03:34] <godofredo07> firefly and tschaka: here is the code: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25644/
[03:34] <pike_> sgrove_: what problems?
[03:34] <kitche> sgrove_: nope just have to sudo apt-get install xorg but if you can't change ti a tty while X is up your missing modmap or xkbdata
[03:34] <sgrove_> ok, great, I'll try that
[03:34] <andre_pl> My laptop is reaching 'critical' temperature and shutting down, its reporting 85 degrees, doesnt feel that hot to me, how can I configure the cooling, and temperature preferences?
[03:35] <pike_> sgrove_: i had an issue where ttys in /etc/event.d/ where setup wrong on new install
[03:35] <pike_> sgrove_: it froze at initializing local
[03:35] <sgrove_> how did you fix it?
[03:35] <godofredo07> firefly2442: i guess that i edit each installation...i put in the correct patch, but the config goes by date and i think mine is too specific maybe (ex. May 8 2006 11:48pm) instead of (May 8 2006)
[03:35] <godofredo07> tschaka: any ideas :)
[03:36] <godofredo07> tschaka: ?
[03:36] <tschaka> godofredo07 are u sure the path is right and the right executables are in there? anyway, if ur trying to click connect in xqf it says unknown version?
[03:36] <firefly2442> godofredo07: well, if it's looking for that specific text, then you'll have to edit the search line
[03:36] <pike_> sgrove_: edit them. check em out they should look like this: exec /sbin/getty 38400 tty1    then on next line respawn.  they were all screwed up
[03:36] <TTT_Travis> has anyone successfully got LIRC to work in FESITY? I am trying to get lirc_serial to install, but it never works, although it worked fine in dapper

[03:38] <MacDrunk> yes
[03:38] <sgrove_> yeah, tty1 says something like: start on runlevel 2, then "start on runlevel 3" on the next line, down to 5. then "stop on runlevel 0". finally, "respawn". Then, "exec /sbin/getty 38400 tty1"
[03:38] <huan> join #ubuntu-cn
