[03:45] <Kemito> I managed to fix a problem I had with screen resolutions yesterday, after going back to the HowTo page on the wiki again.
[03:45] <anacron> traveller: hah i have same board, and you really do!
[03:46] <Kemito> So thanks for that tip, Seveas.  Hi Anacron.
[03:46] <thoreauputic> newubuntu: click the link on the java page to see how to add hoary-extras
[03:46] <Kemito> However, I couldn't get my refresh rate to change from 60hz.
[03:46] <Kemito> even after doing everything in the HowTo page.
[03:46] <persia> anacron: Ummm...  I don't think I know anything more useful on that issue.  Apologies.  It sounds like something is caching the credentials somewhere, or autologin is configured somewhere.
[03:46] <traveller> anacron: that sucks :( i was wondering why it doesn't work anymore. i'll try to update the bios, thank you
[03:46] <thoreauputic> newubuntu: where it says "Add the hoary-extras repository as described in this guide."
[03:47] <Belutz> topyli: thx for the link :)
[03:47] <anacron> traveller: for god sake, i couldn't use my usb-cd at first, with bios update it worked, after then my mouse started to disconnect randomly, and when i updated yesterday again (no beta version this time) now it works too
[03:47] <anacron> or maybe it was beta version too...
[03:47] <anacron> well everything seems to work now :)
[03:48] <traveller> anacron: oddly everything works fine with my other distro, but ubuntu was the only one that could get me online
[03:48] <anacron> execpt that x rebooting...
[03:51] <Kemito> speaking of rebooting - how do you get back into it after hitting control-alt-backspace?
[03:52] <Kemito> it drops me to a command line and from there I'm not able to go anywhere yet
[03:52] <Bubbling_Zombie> sudo gdm
[03:53] <Kemito> ooooooh
[03:53] <persia> anacron: One last thought: take a look at `diff /etc/gdm/gdm.conf /etc/gdm/factory-gdm.conf` and see if anything leaps out.
[03:53] <Kemito> =) Hey thanks.
[03:54] <anacron> :<
[03:54] <anacron> and now when i got stuff he runs away
[03:54] <hosler> Hey is there a good linux program for ripping songs off of an ipod?
[03:54] <aroman> hosler cp ;)
[03:54] <il_padrino> hi
[03:54] <il_padrino> i need a repository for BitchX-1.1-final
[03:54] <il_padrino> :P
[03:54] <philips> hosler: hosler  apt-cache search ipod
[03:55] <hosler> aroman: but the ipod has all the music in weird folders. I need a program that with like organize it for me too.
[03:55] <hosler> philips: ok
[03:55] <hosler> philips: Should i get gnupod or gtkpod?
[03:56] <philips> hosler: gtkpod is a gui - gnupod are command line perl tools
[03:57] <the--dud> your best shot is downloading it from http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/bitchx il_padrino
[03:58] <the--dud> and of course installing that .deb file with dpkg -i <file>.deb
[04:00] <Determinist> anyone here that managed to install xmame and make it work properly?
[04:01] <il_padrino> the--dud, xD
[04:01] <il_padrino> thz
[04:01] <the--dud> no problem...
[04:01] <ghost^|patrick> hi
[04:01] <ghost^|patrick> i have serious problems starting ubuntu after if crashed yesterday
[04:02] <ghost^|patrick> it
[04:02] <Nic> at least is not as bad as my brothers and stepbrothers computers
[04:02] <Nic> they both BSOD
[04:02] <Nic> how stupid is that
[04:02] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: are you using hoary? Hoary has been rock-solid here...
[04:03] <ghost^|patrick> ubuntu 5.04 hoary
[04:03] <ghost^|patrick> somehting with tty1
[04:03] <ghost^|patrick> and then it asks for agamenon user and pass
[04:03] <ghost^|patrick> but my password doesnt work
[04:03] <ghost^|patrick> and i cant boot to gui
[04:03] <ghost^|patrick> :(
[04:03] <ghost^|patrick> yesterday i installed the ati driver from synaptic
[04:03] <ghost^|patrick> and played with it about 3h
[04:04] <ghost^|patrick> then i tried to watch the ogl screensaver of kde
[04:04] <ghost^|patrick> at that mometn system frooze
[04:04] <ghost^|patrick> i couldnt even reboot x after that
[04:04] <ghost^|patrick> now i am in windows and dont know what i should do
[04:05] <ghost^|patrick> or what i should google
[04:05] <ghost^|patrick> :/
[04:05] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: have you tried uninstalling the driver?
[04:05] <ghost^|patrick> how?
[04:05] <ghost^|patrick> i cant access the system
[04:05] <ghost^|patrick> system starts booting up
[04:05] <ghost^|patrick> then it suddenly asks a pass for tty1
[04:05] <Sonderblade> does ubuntu have deb's for libjpeg optimized for P4 cpus?
[04:05] <selinium> is there a way of getting thunderbird to read the /user/mbox file?
[04:05] <InitMass> which is the easiest way to copy some files from one computer to another over a network?
[04:06] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: and your password doesn't work?
[04:06] <Belutz> how to search packages with apt-get ?
[04:06] <ghost^|patrick> but either my pass or my user id isnt accepted anymore
[04:06] <thoreauputic> weird
[04:06] <ghost^|patrick> ya, weired :(
[04:06] <selinium> Belutz: Cntl F
[04:06] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: try to boot in recovery mode, then set a new password
[04:06] <selinium> Belutz: Ctrl F
[04:06] <hosler> Are there any good linux music orginizer programs out there?
[04:07] <Belutz> selinium: i mean the command line for searching packages using apt-get command
[04:07] <spiral> can anyone recommend a good easy mailserver to install on ubuntu?
[04:07] <spiral> easy to install and configure?
[04:07] <thoreauputic> spiral: you already have postfix
[04:07] <ghost^|patrick> thoreauputic: how do i do that?
[04:07] <ghost^|patrick> can u give my some words i can google for
[04:07] <ghost^|patrick> necessary commands etc.?
[04:07] <selinium> Belutz: apt-cache search <filename>
[04:08] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: there should be a recovery option in the grub bootscreen when you boot
[04:08] <spiral> thoreauputic, ok, is that easy to use and configure?
[04:08] <Belutz> selinium: thx :)
[04:08] <ghost^|patrick> ya.. ist there a gui or console in recoverymode?
[04:08] <selinium> Belutz: np
[04:09] <thoreauputic> spiral: no idea really - it is supposed to be easier than sendmail :) I don't run a mailserver except locally
[04:10] <thoreauputic> spiral: I guess "man postfix" is your first port of call ;)
[04:10] <thoreauputic> spiral: "apropos postfix " outputs quite a lot too
[04:11] <hosler> amorok is spelled how i just spelled it right?
[04:11] <spiral> No manual entry for postfix
[04:11] <lamont> spiral: www.postfix.org
[04:11] <thoreauputic> spiral: erm - yes there is - I'm looking at it
[04:11] <thoreauputic> spiral: try " apropos postfix"
[04:13] <thoreauputic> hosler:  amarok
[04:14] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: recovery mode gives you a root shell, IIRC
[04:14] <Raskall-edge> hmm.. irc is the only application I need !UTF-8 in. Is there a way of starting gnome-terminal with iso-8859-1 as charset?
[04:15] <mjr> Raskall-edge, I think if you save a session with !utf-8 terminal, it'll remember that
[04:16] <Raskall-edge> mjr: nope.. I need to do something like "LANG=something.iso8859-1 gnome-terminal" from the launcher. but I cant figure out what something.iso8859-1 should be.
[04:18] <CzarAlex> Im not sure if this is an issue with apache or ubuntu. My apache server runs just fine. webpages i host load fast. however, when other people try to download large files from my site, their speeds are capped around 45-46k. Is this a setting with apache or ubuntu. I can download the large files from another terminal on my network with incredible speed.
[04:19] <ChrischiO> Hi
[04:19] <TheSin> X is still broken??  Works fo rme
[04:19] <Raskall-edge> CzarAlex: what is your wan-link? sounds like you have an upload-rate lower than download rate (adsl, that is). of course you get fast speeds. you are on the same lan as your webserver.
[04:20] <topyli> Raskall: check your current LANG and use that as a base for the terminal locale
[04:20] <CzarAlex> What do yo mean by wan-link? Its a cable connection and the web server is hardwired to the network
[04:21] <ChrischiO> is ubuntu able to read/write ntfs?
[04:21] <topyli> no
[04:21] <thoreauputic> ChrischiO: read-only
[04:21] <Raskall-edge> topyli: my current lang is UTF-8. what I do now is start a gnome-terminal and select Western (iso-8859-1) from the Terminal->Set character encoding menu
[04:21] <ChrischiO> hm
[04:21] <thoreauputic> ChrischiO: as for all other linux distros
[04:21] <Chameleon22> are there any utilities to show me keycode for my keyboard when i press them ?
[04:22] <CzarAlex> Raskall-edge, I wasnt sure if it made a difference, but I would access the website through its hostname instead of ip addy. I thought that may cause the server to treat me like a normal user not on the network.
[04:22] <thoreauputic> except if they have captive ntfs, which is still experimental
[04:22] <ploum> Hello
[04:22] <oggah> is there any BSD Live-CD distro? (small, lightweight=
[04:22] <ploum> how can I add the debian menu in "applications". I've apt-getted menu, menu-xdg but nothing, even after a reboot
[04:22] <topyli> Raskall-edge: ah. well, just do dpkg-reconfigure locales and generate a locale you like
[04:22] <Raskall-edge> CzarAlex: nope.. you access your external interface from the inside. so you are still on the lan.
[04:23] <Raskall-edge> topyli: :) I figured that out 3 seconds before you told me.
[04:23] <topyli> heh
[04:23] <CzarAlex> Raskall-edge, ah ok. Are ya saying it could be comcast and not me?
[04:23] <littleworm> totem plays only the sound in video files, solutions?
[04:23] <thoreauputic> ploum: run update-menus
[04:24] <Raskall-edge> CzarAlex: it sounds like your wan-link (internet connection) is that slow, yes. isp's often set the upload stream to a lower rate than you pay for.
[04:24] <ploum> thoreauputic: already done, also
[04:24] <topyli> ploum: there is (at least used to be) a bug that gives you duplicates in the debian menu if you run update-menus both as root and as user
[04:24] <topyli> ploum: so choose one or the other :)
[04:24] <Raskall-edge> CzarAlex: remember that when anyone surfs on your webserver, you are uploading to them. so if you have adsl you will have a lot lower speed for your visitors than when you surf on the web (read download)
[04:25] <mastertet> Hello
[04:25] <dArtagnan> you need sdsl for a good server :)
[04:25] <zAo^> lo all
[04:25] <anacron> im trying to open demofile which won in assembly05 4k combo, but when i try to start it with ./makeit4k screen goes black for a sec and then it gives error: fatal signal: segmentation fault (SLD Parachute Deployed)
[04:25] <CzarAlex> Raskall-edge I have cable from comcast. does that change anything?
[04:25] <hosler> amorok is spelled how i just spelled it right?
[04:25] <mastertet> Can someone tell me what will be the new features of breezy, except Gnome 2.12
[04:25] <anacron> anacron: can someone help me with running it?
[04:26] <thoreauputic> hosler: no - amarok
[04:26] <hosler> ok
[04:26] <Raskall-edge> CzarAlex: I don't know what line you have. check your invoice from your isp to check your speed.
[04:26] <zAo^> mastertet, GCC4, X11R7
[04:26] <littleworm> totem plays only the sound in video files, solutions?
[04:26] <CzarAlex> Raskall-edge Thanks for your time. :)
[04:26] <zAo^> littleworm, w32codecs
[04:27] <il_padrino> hi
[04:27] <il_padrino> il_padrino  bitchx depende de libc6 (>= 2.3.2.ds1-21); sin embargo:
[04:27] <il_padrino> il_padrino   Versin de libc6  en el sistema es 2.3.2.ds1-20ubuntu13.
[04:27] <il_padrino> il_padrino  bitchx depende de libncurses5 (>= 5.4-5); sin embargo:
[04:27] <il_padrino> il_padrino   Versin de libncurses5  en el sistema es 5.
[04:27] <Raskall-edge> topyli: it worked. :) I just hadn't generated the right locale
[04:27] <il_padrino> i need this lib :P
[04:27] <zAo^> il_padrino, dont install that debian deb
[04:27] <mastertet> zAo^, thanks, but is there something new apart of software updates, some new config tool or else?
[04:27] <Seveas> il_padrino, do not paste in here...
[04:27] <littleworm> zAo^, synaptic can't find it
[04:27] <anacron> hey anyone? segmentation fault SDL parachute deployed? what does that mean
[04:27] <il_padrino> zAo^,  why??
[04:28] <thoreauputic> il_padrino: trying to install a new libc6 will result in much pain
[04:28] <mjr> anacron, your program crashed :)
[04:28] <Seveas> il_padrino, and install anly from ubuntu repositories. NOT from debian repositories
[04:28] <zAo^> mastertet, there will be some new tools, new programms and everything will be updated
[04:28] <littleworm> zAo^, synaptic can't find it
[04:28] <zAo^> il_padrino, it's Debian's. Use Ubuntu's
[04:28] <il_padrino> Seveas, but bitchx1.1-final isn't for ubuntu
[04:28] <anacron> mjr: do you have something that i dont know yet? :D
[04:28] <topyli> Raskall-edge: happy non-annoying non-utf8 ircing :)
[04:28] <zAo^> littleworm, dont hammer man.
[04:28] <tombs> hi ppl
[04:28] <mastertet> zAo^, is there a spot where I can read about breezy progresses
[04:28] <zAo^> littleworm, install every gstreamer-thingy
[04:29] <Seveas> il_padrino, then use an older version or apt-get source it from breezy...
[04:29] <zAo^> mastertet, let me see :)
[04:29] <ploum> topyli: it works now, thx :-)
[04:29] <Seveas> mastertet, udu.wiki.ubuntu.com
[04:29] <il_padrino> breezy hummm.....
[04:29] <Raskall-edge> topyli: thanx. :)
[04:29] <zAo^> @ breezy here
[04:29] <zAo^> mastertet, http://udu.wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDownUnder/BreezyGoals
[04:30] <mastertet> thank you very much zAo^
[04:30] <Raskall-edge> zAo^: and x works?
[04:30] <topyli> Raskall-edge: truth be told i'd be happier if irc went utf8 too. but some networks are quite conservative
[04:30] <zAo^> Raskall, yes, mine does. But I have some pkgs from last week :)
[04:31] <Seveas> topyli, i don't blame them
[04:31] <Seveas> going utf8 can explode the traffic :)
[04:31] <zAo^> even the week before
[04:31] <topyli> i do =)
[04:31] <topyli> Seveas: yes well, i guess so
[04:31] <Raskall-edge> topyli: yup. Actually I don't care what charset is used, as long as it works and looks good everywhere. but i guess that is the intention of utf-8.
[04:32] <r0bby> weee about to have my first drive fail on me
[04:32] <r0bby> <3 smartmontools
[04:32] <r0bby> says in less than 24 hours it will be dead
[04:32] <Seveas> lol
[04:32] <r0bby> SMART overall-health self-assessment test result: FAILED!
[04:32] <r0bby> Drive failure expected in less than 24 hours. SAVE ALL DATA.
[04:32] <r0bby> :(
[04:32] <topyli> Raskall: i do use utf8 on freenode and gimpnet but on ircnet it's still a no-no
[04:32] <littleworm> zAo^, i installed every gstreamer-thing and it still doesn't work
[04:32] <Raskall-edge> r0bby: the drive on my (brand new, two months old) laptop failed yesterday. Just before the backup of two months work was about to start.
[04:33] <zAo^> littleworm, well, I dont know. I use Mplayer
[04:33] <r0bby> i imaged the drive using dd
[04:33] <r0bby> :)
[04:33] <r0bby> so i'm good
[04:33] <r0bby> :)
[04:33] <r0bby> it's imaged onto a healthy drive
[04:33] <littleworm> zAo^, it doesn't work as well
[04:33] <Raskall-edge> topyli: on my behalf the problem is irssi. afaik it does not support utf-8. know about recode.pl, though, but that isn't good enough
[04:33] <zAo^> littleworm, error msg?
[04:33] <mjr> irssi does support utf-8
[04:33] <topyli> r0bby: since you have backups, the drive will most likely last forever ;-)
[04:34] <Seveas> il_padrino, still here?
[04:34] <dArtagnan> mplayer is so bugged, really when it comes to playing dvd WITH sound
[04:34] <mjr> what it doesn't support yet (in release versions) is charset conversions
[04:34] <littleworm> zAo^, non, it just gets stuck
[04:34] <Raskall-edge> mjr: the version in apt?
[04:34] <il_padrino> Seveas, yes
[04:34] <mjr> but you can use it on an utf-8 terminal just fine
[04:34] <selinium> Raskall-ege: take a look at rsync it can image your drives incremantally and automatically
[04:34] <Kmorph> I just want to send a huge thank you to all the people who made Ubuntu possible. Its really changed much for me.
[04:34] <Seveas> i'm building the breezy packages for hoary now
[04:34] <mjr> Raskall-edge, I think so, it's supported it since forever
[04:34] <Raskall-edge> selinium: it was rsync that was about to start when things failed.
[04:35] <ma3x> how can i empty the trash in evolution mail?
[04:35] <il_padrino> Seveas, for bitchx1.1-final ?
[04:35] <Kemito> Kmorph: what's it changed for you?
[04:35] <thoreauputic> Raskall-edge: perhaps you are using irssi in a non utf-8 term like aterm ?
[04:35] <topyli> ma3x: there's a menu entry in the Actions menu
[04:35] <Raskall-edge> mjr: so how do I turn on utf-8? on our company internal irc-channel I type iso-8859-1 from irssi.
[04:36] <selinium> Raskall-edge: aargh don't you just hate that! I had a hard drive go down, i went to a specialist recovery place who wanted to charge 25 per Gig recovered..... I just lived with the loss...
[04:36] <ma3x> thanks topyli
[04:36] <ChrischiO`GER> ehm.. max partition size for FAT32 is some above a TeraByte, isnt it?
[04:36] <Seveas> il_padrino, no, seems like breezy doesn't have it too...
[04:36] <Seveas> il_padrino, from which repository did you get that deb>
[04:36] <Seveas> ?
[04:36] <mjr> Raskall-edge, it should detect it from locales, but if it doesn't, /set term_type utf8. Of course, you need to actually talk utf-8 to it from the terminal, then.
[04:36] <Kmorph> I'm was previously using Debian and had to go through so mant configuration,but now I just have to sit back and enjoy my seat
[04:36] <mjr> Raskall-edge, sorry, utf-8. And it might still need a restart after that, not sure.
[04:36] <topyli> Kmorph: boring isn't it :)
[04:36] <zAo^> littleworm, use you console to discover why
[04:37] <ma3x> is there any good program to backup my ubuntu?
[04:37] <il_padrino> Seveas, http://packages.debian.org/unstable/net/bitchx
[04:37] <Goodspeed_> why can't i edit my xorg.conf?
[04:37] <il_padrino> Goodspeed,
[04:37] <il_padrino> like root ?
[04:37] <Raskall-edge> mjr: thank you. I'd like to hug you. now i don't need to use the ugly xchat on the internal irc.
[04:37] <selinium> ma3x: rsync is great
[04:37] <il_padrino> sudo nano xorg.cong
[04:37] <il_padrino> ?
[04:37] <il_padrino> sudo nano xorg.conf
[04:37] <Goodspeed_> sure
[04:37] <Kmorph> Its the idea behind Ubuntu that I love most, not the boring part of sitting back watching it do autoconfigs
[04:37] <Goodspeed_> ill try that
[04:38] <Raskall-edge> well.. got to go.. the train is almost home...
[04:38] <Seveas> il_padrino, hang on
[04:38] <Goodspeed_> thatt thing just opened a blank text doc in terminal
[04:38] <ma3x> selinium, how does it backup, copying the files only, or plus with compression?
[04:38] <r0bby> topyli, one can wish
[04:38] <topyli> Kmorph: yes. you get mostly sane defaults. still you can customize it like debian itself. best of both worlds
[04:38] <r0bby> i'll come home and try and access the mount point, and it wont work
[04:38] <r0bby> :P
[04:39] <selinium> ma3x: it is a command line program so you can get it to do anything
[04:39] <Kmorph> topyli -> Sure
[04:39] <topyli> r0bby: naah. things only break when your backups are old
[04:39] <ma3x> selinium, I need graphic program, I am a newbie
[04:39] <thoreauputic> Goodspeed: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:39] <Goodspeed_> so is there a way to edit xorg.conf>?
[04:39] <r0bby> my backups can't be old ;P
[04:39] <Goodspeed_> i know where it is
[04:39] <Goodspeed_> but its readonly
[04:39] <r0bby> ntfs is read-only
[04:40] <thoreauputic> Goodspeed: erm - you need to use sudo to edit it
[04:40] <Goodspeed_> i have
[04:40] <selinium> ma3x: try Ghost for Linux  http://www.linuxsoft.cz/en/sw_detail.php?id_item=4265
[04:40] <Goodspeed_> sudo -e
[04:40] <Goodspeed_> but when i save it
[04:40] <Goodspeed_> i overwrite the old one
[04:40] <Goodspeed_> and i get permission denied
[04:41] <selinium> ma3x: it looks like it will serve your purposes.
[04:41] <ma3x> selinium, is it available as a package?
[04:41] <thoreauputic> Goodspeed_: ? just run sudo nano /path/to/file  - you can save it for sure (I don't know why you are using sudo -e)
[04:41] <Goodspeed_> me either
[04:42] <selinium> ma3x: I do not know.... Take a look! others can be found at http://www.linuxsoft.cz/en/sw_list.php?id_kategory=89
[04:42] <Goodspeed_> what would the bus id be for a pci express card?
[04:42] <Goodspeed_> im installing my radeon
[04:43] <topyli> Goodspeed_: check with lspci
[04:43] <Goodspeed_> wheres taht?
[04:43] <topyli> it's just a command
[04:43] <thoreauputic> Goodspeed_: just type lspci ( or lspci | less )
[04:44] <ma3x> ok thanks selinium
[04:44] <Goodspeed_> and the numbers like 0000:01:00.0 is the bus number?
[04:44] <selinium> ma3x: np
[04:45] <topyli> Goodspeed_: yes. i think you can disregard the first 0000:

[04:46] <topyli> Goodspeed_: yes well, you have to stop doing that :)
[04:47] <mastertet> zAo^, is beagle included in your Ubuntu version?
[04:48] <Seveas> il_padrino, no it needs a newer quilt than hoary has :)

[04:55] <Goodspeed> how would i install libusb development libraries?
[04:55] <topyli> Goodspeed: do something like "apt-cache search libusb | grep dev" to find the package you want
[04:56] <thoreauputic> Goodspeed: it sounds like you are doing everything the hard way
[04:56] <Goodspeed> im following guides at forums

[04:58] <zAo^> Goodspeed, for dir: sudo cd /dir. For pkg: sudo apt-get install libusb-dev
[04:58] <spamalope> how can i search for a package name via command line?

[04:59] <Goodspeed> what does that mean?
[04:59] <thoreauputic> Goodspeed: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:59] <dArtagnan> ok, didn't knew that, never tried it without sudo
[04:59] <topyli> dArtagnan: also, you'd use apt-cache
[04:59] <Goodspeed> thoreauputic you are a god
[04:59] <thoreauputic> you need to install compiler tools

[05:03] <zAo^> thanks thoreauputic
[05:03] <r00t_m0j0> any1 know how to get those restricted module?
[05:04] <Tomcat_> r00t_m0j0: Do you need a newer kernel than 2.6.10?
[05:04] <Goodspeed> how do i use synaptics to satisfy the dependences?
[05:04] <glick> excuse me arnt the wxpython<IP_ADDRESS> debs in the repos yet?
[05:04] <glick> i still have 2.5.3
[05:05] <r00t_m0j0> Tomcat_: i m with Breezy, so..no choice, must stick with 2.6.12-6
[05:05] <konut> holas
[05:05] <ColonelKernel> r00t_m0j0, I use that kernel on hoary
[05:06] <zAo^> glick, in Breezy they are
[05:06] <chicken_man> is GTK+ is the repository ?
[05:06] <ColonelKernel> it works wonderfully
[05:06] <zAo^> chicken_man, yes; Gnome is GTK+ based
[05:06] <glick> zAo^, how can i install them on my hoary
[05:06] <ColonelKernel> I wish I knew what patch ubuntu uses on the kernel to make it ubuntu-compatible
[05:06] <zAo^> glick, get the source pkg from debian and rebuild them
[05:06] <ColonelKernel> so I could use vanilla kernels
[05:06] <konut> alguien de chile?
[05:06] <zAo^> or ask for backport
[05:06] <glick> ugh!
[05:07] <glick> i gotta compile shit
[05:07] <ColonelKernel> excrement
[05:07] <zAo^> glick, welcome to linux m8
[05:07] <chicken_man> zAo^, what repository is it in ?
[05:07] <ColonelKernel> or feces.
[05:07] <glick> should i uninstall wxpython2.5.3 first?
[05:07] <ColonelKernel> plz
[05:07] <Tomcat_> glick: Absolutely.
[05:07] <r00t_m0j0> I know 2.6.10 has  ATI module, but what about newer?
[05:07] <Tomcat_> glick: Because the next package update will break your installation.
[05:07] <r00t_m0j0> anyone can help me out?
[05:07] <glick> damnit!
[05:08] <Tomcat_> glick: Or you could stay with the package and install the self-compilation in /usr/local... that should also work.
[05:08] <glick> can i just download the soruce from wxpython.org?
[05:09] <Goodspeed> ahhh this is driving me nuts
[05:09] <Goodspeed> i have glib
[05:09] <Goodspeed> but it says i dont
[05:09] <thoreauputic> Goodspeed: you probably need the -dev library
[05:09] <thoreauputic> Goodspeed: what's with all this compiling?
[05:09] <Goodspeed> i just downloaded that in synaptic
[05:09] <Goodspeed> http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=33040&highlight=gnomad
[05:10] <Tomcat_> glick: Probably... but beware that the source might depend on other libs that are newer than you have.
[05:10] <Yagisan> glick: what do you need compiled
[05:10] <Goodspeed> i need to get my nomad working... it has most of the carrie-overs from my windows machine

[05:13] <chicken_man> what repository is GTK+ in ?, and how do i add it to sources.list
[05:13] <glick> just direct me where i can find the source?
[05:13] <Equis> I've tried everything I find online, but I'm never able to surf to the Ubuntu box on port 631
[05:13] <wdh> chicken_man, please be patient..
[05:13] <Equis> Would someone be kind enough to help me troubleshoot?
[05:13] <Equis> This is my first *nix install
[05:13] <wdh> chicken_man, give the right person some time to read it..
[05:13] <Yagisan> glick: lok up the pbuilder howto on the ubuntu wiki. It's usefull for when you want to backport
[05:14] <chicken_man> vdh, well i don't have all day
[05:14] <wdh> chicken_man, then try google..
[05:14] <Earered> Equis, what is the trouble?
[05:14] <wdh> chicken_man, asking the same question twice in two minutes isnt going to help you..
[05:14] <Goodspeed> checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
[05:14] <Equis> Earered:  Printing is s l o w from XP

[05:15] <wdh> chicken_man, actually.. if you would have just waited patiently.. you probably would have your answer by now :P
[05:15] <chicken_man> lol
[05:15] <Goodspeed> checking for XML::Parser... configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool

[05:15] <wdh> chicken_man, i recommend http://packages.ubuntu.com

[05:17] <glick> Yagisan, i cant just use the binaries from breezy?
[05:17] <Choubaka> glick: That would break stuff.

[05:17] <Yagisan> glick: Usually they have a higher dependency, so you may find you need to upgrade other things
[05:17] <thoreauputic> chicken_man: the real problem is that you didn't frame your question well: type apt-cache search gtk+ in a terminal to see why
[05:18] <om_> hey guys, just did a fresh install of hoary.. unlike the last time I did it there is no debian menu/submenu on either gnome or kde.. anyone know how to add that?
[05:18] <glick> damn so i have to upgrade an assload of things just to get the latest python?
[05:18] <Yagisan> glick: not if you backport it (well not usually)
[05:19] <glick> Yagisan, so i just have to backport the packages im interested in not the ones it depends on?
[05:19] <Yagisan> glick: that's right.
[05:19] <Goodspeed> i just found all the dependencies by myself!!
[05:19] <Goodspeed> without help!!
[05:19] <Goodspeed> woohooooo
[05:19] <chicken_man> thoreauputic, ahhhh
[05:19] <Yagisan> glick: using pbuilder you can build it against hoarys version of packages.
[05:20] <GreenRiver> Hello everyone. I have a small problem about setting up dhcp in Hoary. I ordered the disks from the 'net. The live cd works fine. I have a cable modem attached to a CNet ethernet (Davicom as Linux pronounces). The problem is that installation at first recognizes DHCP and connects to the net. However after the restart and so on I cannot connect. There is a connection as eth0; but when I disable it from the system menu, it doesn't seem affected as it sho
[05:20] <GreenRiver> uld be (the lights never change). Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
[05:23] <Goodspeed> how do i refresh the menu at the top?
[05:23] <Goodspeed> like killall
[05:23] <Goodspeed> something
[05:23] <Goodspeed> right?
[05:23] <thoreauputic> Goodspeed: killall gnome-panel
[05:24] <Earered> Goodspeed, something like killall gnome-panel IIRC
[05:24] <Goodspeed> woohhooo
[05:24] <Goodspeed> what's the best mp3 player for linux?
[05:24] <equex_> i found an old PCI SCSI adapter and a 800MB SCSI disk.. you guys think this would work nicely as a swap patition for linux ? tested in in win2000, works great
[05:24] <dabaR> hi
[05:27] <wdh> Goodspeed, depends on what you like :)
[05:27] <Goodspeed> i want something like itunes i guess
[05:27] <thoreauputic> om_: sudo apt-get install menu menu-xdg   then run  update-menus
[05:27] <Earered> GreenRiver, no connection, or just no DNS?
[05:28] <GreenRiver> Earered, no connection.
[05:28] <dabaR> hey, does anyone know anything about making a picture out of a video file?
[05:28] <chicken_man> ;=( i still can't find what one is GTK i just want GTK+ so i can use it in my programs
[05:28] <Goodspeed> why does my add or remove applications not populate
[05:28] <Goodspeed> it just sits there with that spinning thing
[05:28] <GreenRiver> Earered, as I guess. There is eth0 in ifconfig; but it's something different or obsolete I think.
[05:29] <dabaR> Goodspeed: as a joke, because it is based on windows,.
[05:29] <thoreauputic> chicken_man: a program you are writing? Or compiling from source? Or what?
[05:29] <ma3x> does anybody understand gimp?
[05:30] <windex> yes?
[05:30] <ma3x> ok, im trying to make my digital signature
[05:30] <chicken_man> thoreauputic, A Programming i am writing
[05:30] <ma3x> so i scanned my signature and put it in a file
[05:30] <ma3x> but the background is not white, it's gray
[05:30] <ma3x> is it possible to make it white?
[05:31] <windex> oi. the problem is that you are scanning your signature. uh, you can try to cut out the writing, but its labor intensive.
[05:31] <Goodspeed> so how would i get rid of a program?
[05:31] <chicken_man> program*
[05:31] <thoreauputic> chicken_man: erm - you will need the development libraries then - I'm puzzled as to how you can write programs without knowing what libraries you need
[05:31] <ma3x> but there is option to colorize the image
[05:32] <Earered> GreenRiver, whoa not so fast, try in a terminal ping <IP_ADDRESS>
[05:32] <ma3x> i tried and it can make the background green or red like
[05:32] <ma3x> but not white
[05:32] <ma3x> now that's dumb
[05:32] <Tomcat_> thoreauputic: I'm sometimes quite puzzled about how many developers send out their source without info on the libs... it's like "Find out yourself" ;)
[05:32] <Yagisan> glick: It seems to build OK with hoary. You shouldn't have any trouble backporting it.
[05:33] <windex> ma3x, it would be more effective to use a digitizer or tablet to produce the signature, cutting out the background is difficult.
[05:33] <chicken_man> thoreauputic, I just want GTK i have already installed GLib but i'm having problems with Pango
[05:33] <dabaR> Goodspeed: like remove a program?
[05:33] <dabaR> or remove its icon from your menu?
[05:33] <Goodspeed> yeaap
[05:33] <Goodspeed> program
[05:33] <dabaR> sudo aptitude remove x
[05:33] <dabaR> or, System>Admin>Synaptic, find th eprograam in the list, and right click remove
[05:33] <GreenRiver> Earered, I tried <IP_ADDRESS>. 195.174.x.x is the default ip adress standard of my isp. An error was returned like "network not recognized" or something like that.

[05:34] <chicken_man> thoreauputic, I want GTK ready installed so i don't have to compile any thing to make it work
[05:34] <coolblue> how do i bookmark a set of tabs in firefox?
[05:34] <ma3x> its not difficult, you just have tot know how
[05:34] <coolblue> how do i bookmark a set of tabs in firefox? pleeeeeeeeeeeez
[05:34] <chillywilly> can't do it
[05:34] <chillywilly> make a bunch of bookmarks and move them into a folder
[05:35] <windex> ma3x, basically, you need to select all the regions of gray, cut them, and then do a pixel by pixel manipulation to get rid of the fuzzy pieces. that's how it works in photoshop, too.
[05:35] <Earered> GreenRiver, could you try again? the error might help me to help you :)
[05:35] <coolblue> manually??
[05:35] <coolblue> only way?
[05:35] <windex> ma3x, or you can play with your scanner's white balance settings.
[05:35] <chillywilly> coolblue: I think that's your only option
[05:35] <GreenRiver> Earered, I'll reboot then. I'll be here in ten minutes.
[05:35] <wdh> coolblue, wait.. lemme check that out.. you _can_ bookmark a set of tabs in FF
[05:36] <Earered> GreenRiver, wait a second
[05:36] <chillywilly> coolblue: I use http://del.icio.us :)
[05:36] <GreenRiver> Earered, OK.
[05:37] <windex> ma3x, you might have more help in a gimp-related channel, though.
[05:37] <glick> the pbuilder wiki page doesnt mention how to build a backport from a source file
[05:37] <Earered> GreenRiver, given that I did this error myself, ensure that you have set up the DNS correctly (sometimes you can forget the obvious)

[05:38] <wdh> coolblue, just use 'Bookmark this page' and then tick the box next to 'Bookmark all tabs into a folder'
[05:38] <Yagisan> glick: you set up a pbuilder install of what version of ubuntu you want (ie hoary)
[05:38] <Earered> GreenRiver, and good luck (I might be gone when you come back)

[05:38] <thoreauputic> chicken_man: I highly recommend you read this with attention: http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
[05:38] <glick> i downloaded the source as a tgz file
[05:38] <Yagisan> glick: and then run pbuilder to build it
[05:39] <GreenRiver> Earered, OK. I'm a bit confused, though. Live cd automatically sets up. Anyway. Thank you very much!
[05:39] <Yagisan> glick: I'd grab the breezy source
[05:39] <glick> i did download it
[05:39] <glick> Yagisan, so where do i put it?
[05:39] <Yagisan> glick: *.dsc and *.tar.gz ?
[05:39] <glick> yup
[05:39] <coolblue> Thanks wdh:)
[05:39] <Earered> GreenRiver, well, it won't guess the DNS that your ISP provides ^_^
[05:39] <chicken_man> can some well tell me how to get GTK+ so i can use it in my C++ and C programs ?
[05:39] <coolblue> Thanks wdh:)
[05:39] <Yagisan> glick: whatever working directory you like
[05:40] <glick> ok
[05:40] <glick> Yagisan, i have to untar it i presume?
[05:40] <GreenRiver> Earered, wait.  They are down sometimes...
[05:41] <wdh> coolblue, define 'not working'
[05:41] <coolblue> dont undertsand that...
[05:41] <Earered> GreenRiver, what do you mean?
[05:41] <wdh> coolblue, 'not working' doesnt exactly help us helping you :)
[05:42] <wdh> coolblue, what is the error-message?
[05:42] <wdh> coolblue, and what did you try?
[05:42] <flo> hi all
[05:42] <coolblue> oh sorry...it says something like this repo does not exist
[05:42] <GreenRiver> Earered, I launch system-admin-network-dns. There are some dns numbers. The numbers that I use now are recognized by the setup too.
[05:42] <wdh> coolblue, where did you add the repo to?? using synaptic?
[05:42] <wdh> coolblue, or straight into /etc/apt/sources.list?
[05:43] <coolblue> edtiting sources.list
[05:43] <wdh> sure you didnt make a typo?
[05:43] <coolblue> nope
[05:43] <coolblue> did copy-paste
[05:43] <thoreauputic> chicken_man: try this:   apt-cache search gtk+ | grep lib | grep gtk2 | grep dev  - but I still suggest you read esr's excellent article
[05:43] <Yagisan> glick: back. after setting up pbuilder you just run "pbuilder build *.dsc"
[05:44] <wdh> coolblue, can you paste your sources.list into a pastebin and paste the link here?
[05:44] <coolblue> ok let me see...
[05:44] <Yagisan> glick: It just takes a while to set pbuilder up.

[05:45] <ADM-UNIMET> i have a huge problem with a server
[05:45] <ADM-UNIMET> it's a ibm eseries 300 with SATA RAID 1
[05:45] <thoreauputic> flo: the rox help tells you how to make a pinboard and you can drag icons onto that
[05:45] <ADM-UNIMET> install perfect but when it's gone to start the server said that not found operating system
[05:46] <ADM-UNIMET> something about boot sector
[05:46] <wdh> ADM-UNIMET, do not use your enter-key that much :P
[05:46] <ADM-UNIMET> any help?
[05:46] <GreenRiver> Earered, one more thing. There are four lights on my modem. In a live session the PC light flashes all the time. When I disable eth0, it stands still. In non networking setup when I disable eth0 (the one with dns numbers) PC light keeps flashing. I think it's not affected. Something may be wrong with eth0's hardware configuration.
[05:46] <ADM-UNIMET> ohhhh sorry!
[05:46] <thoreauputic> flo: the rox help is actually quite helpful - unlike some help files ;)
[05:46] <flo> thoreauputic, yes, i know how to make a pinboard, but where do i drag the icons from, since i don't have any ?
[05:46] <Subliminal> ADM-UNIMET: what device is it set to boot from (in the bios)
[05:46] <Chaotic_Shield> morning all
[05:46] <Chaotic_Shield> Anyone know a good pop/smtp daemon?

[05:47] <Chaotic_Shield> ah;
[05:47] <ADM-UNIMET> the last operating system was win 2003 server and boot ok
[05:47] <Chaotic_Shield> mom's yelling
[05:47] <thoreauputic> flo: it will ask you which of the many you want
[05:47] <Subliminal> ADM-UNIMET: it boots of the raid?
[05:47] <ADM-UNIMET> yeap :'(
[05:47] <Earered> GreenRiver, yep probably
[05:47] <flo> ok; i'll look through the help anyway

[05:49] <thoreauputic> flo: no worries - also try " locate icons | less  (I think you'll be surprised how many are at your disposal)
[05:49] <ADM-UNIMET> try the grub-install hd0 but nothing happends :'(
[05:49] <Subliminal> :-/ i dont know anything about raid sorry, what i just said might not even be true
[05:49] <coolblue> try grub-install /dev/hda
[05:50] <J_P> hi all
[05:50] <J_P> hi all
[05:50] <J_P> people, I have one important question about useradd!!
[05:50] <Earered> GreenRiver, I guess that you will have to delve in the ifconf manpages
[05:51] <zAo^> J_P, shoot
[05:51] <GreenRiver> Earered, OK. Right away. Thanks a lot.
[05:51] <J_P> groupadd csp
[05:51] <J_P> useradd andrea -c "Andrea Viana da Silva" -s /bin/false -g csp -d /home/andrea -m
[05:52] <Goodspeed> how do i remove a package not listed in synaptic
[05:52] <chicken_man> thoreauputic, Thanks i am downloading it now.
[05:52] <J_P> second line not wotrk
[05:52] <J_P> groupadd add ok csp
[05:52] <J_P> but user "andrea" not go do group csp in /etc/group, why ?
[05:53] <zAo^> J_P, not go do group: what? :)
[05:53] <MrMo> what tool to use to create VCD's ?
[05:53] <MrMo> or DVD's? for the DVD player?
[05:53] <thoreauputic> chicken_man: do you see what I meant?  I try in debian and work fine!
[05:55] <thoreauputic> flo: I'm sure there is - but I don't know it off the top of my head - sorry: you would put the commands in the icewm startup script though
[05:55] <zAo^> J_P, tried useradd without the -g and usermod afterwards?
[05:55] <glick> debian doesnt come with flux either
[05:55] <BTJustice> I am downloading the live version right now.  I specifically want to try and hopefully use Evolution for all my e-mail :).  Is there anything I need to know?  Will folders be created on my Windows XP hard drive to save e-mail to and such?
[05:55] <chicken_man> I like Fluxbox it's good for slower computers
[05:55] <J_P> zAo^: no! moment, i go try
[05:55] <goldfish> fluxbox rocks.
[05:56] <flo> thoreauputic, I see ... is it in  ~/.IceWm ?
[05:56] <glick> i love python
[05:56] <glick> python is the shizzy mcnizzy
[05:56] <chicken_man> mmmm python :P
[05:56] <J_P> zAo^: is impossible withou -g..
[05:56] <J_P> zAo^: i have erro of useradd
[05:56] <zAo^> show me :)
[05:56] <bur[n] er> instead of "useradd" try "adduser"
[05:56] <glick> i want to build a finance program using python
[05:56] <thoreauputic> flo: no - try looking at /usr/share/xsessions and see if there is a icewm.desktop file - see where the Exec line points
[05:57] <glick> geared at college students
[05:57] <J_P> zAo^:  root@neo:~ # useradd andrea -c "Andrea Viana da Silva" -s /bin/false csp -d /home/andrea -m
[05:57] <J_P> usage: useradd  [-u uid [-o] ]  [-g group]  [-G group,...]
[05:57] <J_P>                 [-d home]  [-s shell]  [-c comment]  [-m [-k template] ]
[05:57] <chicken_man> glick: lol
[05:57] <glick> cause i keep losing track of my finances and end up getting screwed when at the beginning of the month i spent 400 bucks and have no idea where it went
[05:57] <thoreauputic> flo: or better , consult the docs on the icewm home page
[05:57] <Chaotic_Shield> what's a good pop3 server?
[05:57] <zAo^> J_P, err msg?
[05:57] <flo> thoreauputic, ok
[05:57] <J_P> Chaotic_Shield: qpopper is good
[05:57] <chicken_man> glick: use C++
[05:57] <J_P> zAo^: yes
[05:57] <glick> chicken_man, ugh
[05:58] <BTJustice> I am downloading the live version right now.  I specifically want to try and hopefully use Evolution for all my e-mail :).  Is there anything I need to know?  Will folders be created on my Windows XP hard drive to save e-mail to and such?
[05:58] <Chaotic_Shield> yay!
[05:58] <flo> thoreauputic, wait, i found the IceWM.desktop file
[05:58] <Chaotic_Shield> now just need an smtp server.
[05:58] <J_P> zAo^: that is one problem in ubuntu useradd ?
[05:58] <glick> I know C and C++
[05:58] <nubbe> Is it possible to integrate Dictionary (2.10.1) in FF?
[05:58] <glick> why on earth would you want to use either of them if you didnt have to?
[05:58] <chicken_man> glick: nice :P i started a year ago
[05:58] <Chaotic_Shield> BTJustice, if your Windows hard drive isn't NTFS then Linux can write to it, else no.
[05:58] <zAo^> J_P, not as far as I know of. Can you give me the message>?
[05:58] <thoreauputic> flo: the exec line should point at the startup script
[05:58] <flo> thoreauputic, there's already /usr/bin/icewm-session in exec obviously
[05:58] <BTJustice> It is NTFS... shit!
[05:59] <J_P> zAo^: yes look:
[05:59] <J_P> root@neo:~ # useradd andrea -c "Andrea Viana da Silva" -s /bin/false csp -d /home/andrea -m
[05:59] <J_P> usage: useradd  [-u uid [-o] ]  [-g group]  [-G group,...]
[05:59] <glick> chicken_man, i find learning to play an instrument is much more enjoyable then learning a language
[05:59] <Chaotic_Shield> J_P, can you recommend a good smtp server?
[05:59] <J_P>                 [-d home]  [-s shell]  [-c comment]  [-m [-k template] ]
[05:59] <J_P>                 [-f inactive]  [-e expire ]  [-p passwd]  name
[05:59] <chicken_man> glick: hehehe
[05:59] <J_P> zAo^: understan, parameter error
[05:59] <flo> thoreauputic, so shall i add a comma and add then rox -b 0 and rox -p 0 ?
[05:59] <thoreauputic> flo: run "file /usr/bin/icewm-session" to see if it's an editable script
[05:59] <J_P> Chaotic_Shield: i like very much postfix
[05:59] <thoreauputic> flo: NO!
[05:59] <Raskall> agh.. the ubuntu repos are soooo slow right now.
[05:59] <zAo^> hmmm
[05:59] <zAo^> donno, sorry m8
[05:59] <flo> thoreauputic, ok
[05:59] <Chaotic_Shield> postfix comes standard with Ubuntu :)
[05:59] <Goodspeed> how do i use a .deb package?
[05:59] <thoreauputic> flo: that won't work
[05:59] <goldfish> Goodspeed: dpkg -i moo.deb
[05:59] <J_P> zAo^: that sorry iis for me ?
[05:59] <chicken_man> How do i mount my FAT32 partition ?
[05:59] <[Spooky] > what the h*ll does this mean !? "sudo: unable to lookup linux via gethostbyname()"
[06:00] <glick> i gotta get ready, in one hour i gotta tear this lady that works at a real estate office across from me a new anal cavity
[06:00] <zAo^> yeah :$
[06:00] <flo> thoreauputic, it's not an editable script :(
[06:00] <J_P> please, anyone know how I add one user for any group in ubuntu using command line useradd ou another tool ?
[06:00] <Goodspeed> do i have to tar it?
[06:00] <goldfish> !mountwindows
[06:00] <ubotu> [mountwindows]  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[06:00] <Goodspeed> its a .tar.gz
[06:00] <ADM-UNIMET> JP did you try webmin?
[06:00] <thoreauputic> flo: the best place to look is the icewm docs - I'm sure there are howtos etc linked from the icewm home page
[06:01] <goldfish> chicken_man: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[06:01] <J_P> ADM-UNIMET: yes, but postfixadmin is better
[06:01] <goldfish> Goodspeed: tar xvzf moo.tar.gz
[06:01] <flo> thoreauputic, ok thx :)
[06:01] <Goodspeed> and then go into the directory and do the dpkg thing?
[06:01] <thoreauputic> flo: I haven't used icewm much - I use fluxbox here
[06:01] <BTJustice> I have a spare hard drive I could hook up to my Windows XP machine.  If I format it to some other file system, what should I do it with and what file system should it be in order for Ubuntu Live to save things to it?
[06:01] <flo> thoreauputic, ok :)
[06:01] <goldfish> Goodspeed: yes.
[06:01] <glick> creatign the most complex data structures in python is so simple a monkey could do it
[06:01] <goldfish> Goodspeed: you will need to use sudo with the dpkg command.
[06:01] <flo> thoreauputic, i wouldn't mind using fluxbox
[06:02] <J_P> people, i have one basic question... how I add one user for any group in ubuntu using command line useradd ou another tool ?
[06:02] <Chaotic_Shield> BTJustice, Ext3. I don't think Ubuntu Live can format drives though. If you have a spare drive, why not install Ubuntu on it and dual-boot?
[06:02] <windex> !tell windex about mp3
[06:02] <thoreauputic> flo: I suggest you choose one WM and learn it
[06:02] <Chaotic_Shield> hmm...
[06:02] <glick> i gotta finish my mp3 sorter program that i started writting
[06:02] <nubbe> I'm looking for a Firefox extension that can lookup dict.org, anyone knows?
[06:02] <BTJustice> Can I install Ubuntu from the Live CD or shoudl I cancel the downlaod and get the full version?
[06:02] <flo> thoreauputic, well, i don't really have time since i'm setting up a friend's comp
[06:02] <goldfish> u need the instasll cd
[06:02] <Chaotic_Shield> BTJustice, you'll need the full version.
[06:02] <J_P> Chaotic_Shield: you know how add one user for any group ?
[06:02] <thoreauputic> J_P: you might prefer to use the adduser command - it's easier
[06:02] <goldfish> *install
[06:02] <BTJustice> Alright, thanks.
[06:02] <Chaotic_Shield> I have both, quite handy to have both.
[06:03] <Chaotic_Shield> J_P, I don't.
[06:03] <windex> !tell windex about mp3
[06:03] <windex> maybe this time i can manage to not quit.
[06:03] <Chaotic_Shield> what's the command to mount your cdrom drive? Ubuntu isn't doing it for me.
[06:03] <BTJustice> Ubuntu does come with Evolution e-mail program right?
[06:03] <Chaotic_Shield> yes
[06:03] <Chadza> Yes.
[06:03] <J_P> thoreauputic: yeh, but i dont know how do this using "adduser" for add in group "admin"  for example.. Can you write one example for me ?
[06:03] <BTJustice> Sweet in the panties!
[06:03] <Chaotic_Shield> Ubuntu install installs everything that comes with the Ubuntu Live CD.
[06:04] <Chaotic_Shield> Ubuntu Live == Ubuntu standard install
[06:04] <thoreauputic> Chaotic_Shield: usually just  " mount /media/cdrom " should do it
[06:04] <Chaotic_Shield> thanks.
[06:04] <Goodspeed> goldfish i just dpkg it
[06:04] <Goodspeed> now what?
[06:04] <thoreauputic> Chaotic_Shield: assuming your /etc/fstab points at /media/cdrom
[06:04] <Goodspeed> is it installed?
[06:04] <Chaotic_Shield> thoreauputic, doesn't work, I get mount: special device /dev/hdc does not exist.
[06:04] <BTJustice> OW!  One last thing.  I have a D-Link DWL-G520 wireless card.  Will Ubuntu find it alright and use it?
[06:05] <Chaotic_Shield> BTJustice, possibly.
[06:05] <MrMo> BTJustice, 520+?
[06:05] <thoreauputic> J_P:  adduser <user's name> admin
[06:05] <MrMo> or simple 520?
[06:05] <Chaotic_Shield> But if it doesn't, go get ndiswrapper and follow the instructions on its website.
[06:05] <J_P> thoreauputic: ok, i go test.
[06:05] <BTJustice> G520
[06:05] <thoreauputic> J_P: with sudo, of course
[06:05] <BTJustice> That all I know.
[06:05] <MrMo> BTJustice, forget it. the G520 is the one with the ACX111 chip right?
[06:05] <BTJustice> It's the first version
[06:05] <BTJustice> Atheros
[06:05] <thoreauputic> Chaotic_Shield: ls -l /dev/cdrom
[06:06] <thoreauputic> Chaotic_Shield: see where that points
[06:06] <Chaotic_Shield> No such file or directory.
[06:06] <J_P> thoreauputic: root@neo:~ # adduser teste csp
[06:06] <J_P> adduser: The user `teste' does not exist.
[06:06] <MrMo> BTJustice, Atheros? even better. IIRC, Madwifi works with Atheros out of the box.
[06:06] <goldfish> Goodspeed: yes. installed.
[06:06] <J_P> thoreauputic: root@neo:~ # adduser teste admin
[06:06] <J_P> adduser: The user `teste' does not exist.
[06:06] <thoreauputic> J_P: *cough* well use a user that *does* exist
[06:06] <ma3x> is there any CD/DVD burning tool for GNOME?
[06:06] <Chaotic_Shield> yes
[06:06] <thoreauputic> J_P: it isn't magic you know
[06:07] <MrMo> ma3x, yes.
[06:07] <mjr> ma3x, nautilus will burn basic data discs
[06:07] <ma3x> mjr, how do I start it?
[06:07] <Chaotic_Shield> fscking hell.
[06:07] <MrMo> ma3x, the natulis will burn just about everthing for you
[06:07] <Chaotic_Shield> WHY WON'T YOU MOUNT CDROM DRIVE? [/caps]
[06:07] <MrMo> ma3x, if that's not enough, use gnomebacker
[06:07] <mjr> ma3x, it's the file manager
[06:07] <Raskall> are there any mirrors for the ubuntu-backports repos?
[06:07] <[Spooky] > whats the default su password ?
[06:07] <BTJustice> Waht is Madwifi???
[06:07] <MrMo> ma3x, <crlt>-<L> and enter burn:///
[06:07] <Chaotic_Shield> [Spooky] , none.
[06:07] <MrMo> BTJustice, Madwifi is the driver for wireless cards
[06:07] <MrMo> BTJustice, i.e. cards with the Atheros chip
[06:08] <Chaotic_Shield> I like ndiswrapper.
[06:08] <BTJustice> It comes with Ubuntu?
[06:08] <ma3x> can nautilius burn iso image?
[06:08] <[Spooky] > Chaotic_Shield: ok so how do i set a su password ?
[06:08] <Chaotic_Shield> Although it increases start times by a little while.
[06:08] <thoreauputic> Chaotic_Shield: if /dev/cdrom doesn't exist, you have a strange problem - look at /etc/fstab to see where the system thinks it is
[06:08] <MrMo> Chadza, Ndiswrapper is just *PLAIN WRONG[tm] *
[06:08] <Chaotic_Shield> yes ma3x
[06:08] <ma3x> Chaotic_Shield, how?
[06:08] <MrMo> ma3x, right click on iso image, select 'burn'
[06:08] <mjr> ndiswrapper isn't there to be liked, it's there to be lamentably used when absolutely necessary ;I
[06:08] <BTJustice> Madwifi comes with Ubuntu?
[06:08] <MrMo> BTJustice, as far as I know: yes.
[06:08] <bo> newbie here.. can anyone help configure printers
[06:08] <Chaotic_Shield> [Spooky] , open a terminal, then type sudo passwd.
[06:08] <MrMo> mjr, right.
[06:09] <zAo^> what was it that you needed to do when you got: could not open default font 'fixed'
[06:09] <BTJustice> COOL!  Thanks.
[06:09] <Chaotic_Shield> thinks it's in /media/cdrom0
[06:09] <Chaotic_Shield> what a gay pos.
[06:09] <mjr> BTJustice, it's included in the restricted-modules packages
[06:09] <MrMo> bo, the gnome-cups integrations is already beautiful what do you need help with?
[06:09] <mjr> (which are installed by default)
[06:09] <Chaotic_Shield> brb
[06:09] <thoreauputic> Chaotic_Shield: you can symlink that to /media/cdrom if you wish
[06:09] <ma3x> can nautilius erase DVD/CDRW disc?
[06:09] <Goodspeed> how do i untar a bz2
[06:09] <snowblink> [Spooky] , you should be sudoing stuff.
[06:09] <MrMo> bo, but lets start with what flavor of ubuntu you got? warty, hoary, breezy?
[06:10] <bo> i need to set a second pc (windows) to print through me
[06:10] <windex> neat. watch the music player not suck with mp3 support! :D
[06:10] <MrMo> ma3x, yep it should be able to do that too
[06:10] <mjr> ma3x, I think it offers to erase data when trying to burn on one
[06:10] <MrMo> ma3x, but I feel like you might like 'gnomebacker'
[06:10] <bo> sorry hoary
[06:10] <MrMo> ma3x, you can get that from synaptic iirc.
[06:10] <MrMo> ma3x, http://www.ubuntuguide.org is your friend.
[06:10] <cefx> Morning.  I have two problems.  I still can't find my USB Hard Drive anywhere as a device to mount it.  IS there USB mass storage support in the Ubuntu amd64 kernel?

[06:10] <ubotu> windex: I don't know

[06:11] <ubotu> well, ubuntuguide is a set of instructions with no explanation. Please do not advise people to use ubuntuguide.  Advise https://wiki.ubuntu.com instead. Item 4 on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NewUsersNetworkGuidelines explains why.

[06:13] <cefx> mjr, where will I find the device name of my hard drive? :/
[06:13] <Belutz> nerolinux is much way better than gnomebaker :D
[06:14] <thoreauputic> ma3x: it is comunity supported ( by the MOTU team)
[06:14] <vontrapp> yesterday, in an upgrade, firefox 1.0.6 installed, now, middlemouse.contentLoadURL does not work
[06:14] <MrMo> ma3x, ohhh... universie is NOT supported? so what? most people use even *different* sources than the usual ubuntu ones...
[06:14] <vontrapp> i have it set to true
[06:14] <[Spooky] > snowblink: done do i need to reboot ?
[06:14] <MrMo> Belutz, nerolinux is for turds
[06:14] <snowblink> [Spooky] , probably best to
[06:14] <vontrapp> i read in the forums a discussion about disabling this by default, did something break in the process?
[06:14] <thoreauputic> ma3x: universe is fine - just add it
[06:14] <vontrapp> i'm certainly fine with it disabled by default, but i want it to work when i enable it
[06:15] <derBuddist> how can I copy a file from cd-rom to the direction "home" ?
[06:15] <sexcopter8000m> hi, what programme can i use to string together some jpegs into a video/movie clip?
[06:15] <J_P> thoreauputic: hello, have equal problem as in useradd. I do " adduser --ingroup admin test". But in /et/group user "test"  not are in "admin:x:109:". Understand ?
[06:15] <ma3x> should I uncomment these two? # deb http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary universe
[06:15] <ma3x> # deb-src http://ch.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu hoary universe
[06:15] <vontrapp> MrMo: you mean like me using Debian Unstable sources with ubuntu?
[06:15] <MrMo> derBuddist, open CD, *rightclick* *select* *copy* .... open *home* *rightclick* *past*
[06:15] <thoreauputic> derBuddist: cp /media/cdrom/path/to/file /home/yourusername
[06:16] <derBuddist> i have only the bracket!
[06:16] <MrMo> vontrapp, well yea for example something like that... or adding in someone *private* ubuntu sources ;)
[06:16] <ma3x> and then apt-get update; apt-get upgrade?
[06:16] <thoreauputic> J_P: *sigh* are you trying to give a user sudo privileges? If so read  man visudo
[06:17] <J_P> thoreauputic: not not... is any group...
[06:17] <cefx> Yo.
[06:17] <cefx> dpkg -l w32codecs doesn't find w32codecs and I can't play this .avi file.
[06:17] <J_P> thoreauputic: add for example for video roup not work too..
[06:17] <thoreauputic> J_P: adduser is trivially simple to use: sudo adduser <nameof user> <groupyou want user in>
[06:17] <J_P> thoreauputic: please, test you that..  and you will be see user not are add in /etc/group..
[06:17] <MrMo> ma3x, update should be sufficient
[06:18] <ma3x> MrMo, ok
[06:18] <thoreauputic> J_P: I don't need to test it: I know how to use the command : you  need to read the man page it seems
[06:18] <sexcopter8000m> anyone? a programme for making video clips?
[06:19] <thoreauputic> J_P: as I said , it is trivially easy to use
[06:19] <J_P>  thoreauputic ahh is diferent to debian...
[06:19] <J_P> thoreauputic:  is need first crewate user..
[06:19] <thoreauputic> J_P: no it isn't
[06:19] <skalpel> is there any way to add a splash image to my bootup, like the linux penguin in slackware, for ubuntu?
[06:19] <J_P> and after add it to group thoreauputic
[06:19] <cefx> Hmmmm.
[06:19] <J_P> thoreauputic: right ?
[06:19] <cefx> Anyone know what codecs I need to play most movies?
[06:19] <ma3x> what's the easiest way to backup my ubuntu?
[06:19] <derBuddist> how can I see the files on my cdrom?
[06:19] <cefx> I can't find w32codecs.
[06:19] <ma3x> cefx, from marillat site
[06:19] <vontrapp> derBuddist: mount /cdrom
[06:20] <derBuddist> thx
[06:20] <snowblink> J_P, man usermod
[06:20] <vontrapp> it's supposed to be automatic, but i've seen a few cases where it needs to be mounted manually
[06:20] <punkass> anyone know why networking would just stop working..no updates, just rebooted and poof no wireless or ethernet, DCHP just times out
[06:20] <thoreauputic> ma3x: no - marillat is out of sync with hoary now: use hoary-extras
[06:20] <J_P> snowblink: ok
[06:21] <cefx> Anyone know where I will see my USB HDD ?  I can't grep dmesg for /dev/sda...there's nothing about it in there.
[06:21] <cefx> nor /var/log/messages
[06:22] <wdh> cefx, /var/log/kern.log maybe?
[06:22] <ma3x> how do I backup ubuntu on DVD?
[06:22] <punkass> i know the router works fine as there is a knoppix and XP machine connected to it fine
[06:22] <bur[n] er> cefx: no desktpo icon?
[06:22] <skalpel> is there any way to add a splash image to my bootup, like the linux penguin in slackware, for ubuntu?
[06:22] <J_P> snowblink: but is possible for example i add one user and include it ine users group for example using adduser/useradd ?
[06:22] <bur[n] er> skalpel: look into "bootsplash"
[06:22] <ma3x> skalpel, just turn on the pc and act like a penguin!
[06:22] <bur[n] er> skalpel: not for the faint of heart
[06:22] <[Spooky] > hm still having trouble with hostname :/
[06:23] <bur[n] er> skalpel: or wait for Breezy ;)  i hear it should be there
[06:23] <skalpel> i am not faint of heart but i am new to linux, what do you think?
[06:23] <derBuddist> how can I extracte the files from a *.tgz-paket ?
[06:23] <Chaotic_Shield> bah.
[06:23] <wdh> derBuddist, tar xvzf *.tgz
[06:23] <derBuddist> thx
[06:23] <Chaotic_Shield> cdrom drive not mounting.
[06:23] <Chaotic_Shield> That's stupid.
[06:23] <snowblink> [Spooky] , your hostname in /etc/hostname is the same as the one on your localhost line?
[06:24] <ma3x> Howto Backup Ubuntu?
[06:24] <[Spooky] > snowblink: edited the hostname file and hosts and used the hostname to set it and its still complaining..
[06:24] <[Spooky] > snowblink: how do i see the localhost ?
[06:24] <drcodedd2> Hi all
[06:24] <snowblink> J_P, yes you can. man adduser
[06:25] <drcodedd2> any one mybe know good realtime sync folder software that also work in windows?
[06:25] <snowblink> [Spooky] ,  your /etc/hosts file should have <IP_ADDRESS>       localhost.localdomain   localhost yourhostname
[06:25] <derBuddist> hi
[06:26] <Chaotic_Shield> BAH.
[06:26] <thoreauputic> J_P: the changes you make will only show up on re-logging in
[06:26] <Chaotic_Shield> Why won't you mount you STUPID CDROM DRIVE.
[06:26] <catch> Hi all, I am currently running hoary, but need the newer version of subversion from breezy, can anyone point me in the right direction on how to do this?
[06:26] <Chaotic_Shield> this is pissing me off.
[06:26] <[Spooky] > snowblink: done now reboot and see brb
[06:26] <J_P> snowblink: i try using this : root@neo:~ # adduser --ingroup users test3. If i do : root@neo:~ # id test3 show : "uid=1005(test3) gid=100(users) groups=100(users)". But look this :
[06:26] <J_P> root@neo:~ # grep -i users /etc/group
[06:26] <J_P> users:x:100:

[06:30] <strykewulf> hey guys im having a problem here trying to dl and install thunderbird
[06:30] <strykewulf>  sudo apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird
[06:30] <strykewulf> Reading package lists... Done
[06:30] <strykewulf> Building dependency tree... Done
[06:30] <strykewulf> You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these:
[06:30] <strykewulf> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[06:30] <strykewulf>   mozilla-firefox-gnome-support: Depends: firefox-gnome-support but it is not going to be installed
[06:30] <strykewulf> E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).
[06:30] <[Spooky] > snowblink: worked like a charm, thanks for the help :)
[06:30] <catch> strykewulf there is a reason why pastebin exists
[06:30] <Chaotic_Shield> strykewulf, have you tried running apt-get -f install?
[06:30] <strykewulf> i tried
[06:30] <skalpel> can i change my console screen font?
[06:30] <strykewulf> lemme try again
[06:30] <Chaotic_Shield> and honestly, paste in the pastebin.

[06:32] <strykewulf> i also tried getting winrar and it gave me the same thing
[06:32] <Chaotic_Shield> strykewulf, try using Synpatic to install your packages from now on.
[06:32] <strykewulf> how do i do that
[06:32] <Chaotic_Shield> and winrar is a windows program, hence WINrar
[06:32] <strykewulf> ok, rar archiver

[06:55] <Chaotic_Shield> tikka, google perchance?
[06:55] <tikka> Spudchat, i know a guy who might have
[06:55] <skalpel> chaotic_shield: thank you
[06:55] <flow> im having a problem with evince.... it cant view certain pdf files
[06:55] <floo> Is there any way i can tell VLV to look in /usr/local/lib to find libdvdcss?
[06:55] <arpan> hi, i was trying to install Firefox 1.0.6 on Ubuntu (using Synaptic), but it failed, and now firefox aint starting up!
[06:55] <flow> im using ver 0.32
[06:55] <tikka> Chaotic_Shield, i was hoping for keywords you shit bag
[06:55] <arpan> earlier atleast 1.0.2 was working
[06:56] <arpan> what shud I do to get it going again?
[06:56] <Spudchat> hmm i get to the install screen then it freezes
[06:56] <Chaotic_Shield> Hey, watch your mouth. I'm just making a suggestion.
[06:56] <wrykyn> I just installed eric3 with apt-get.  When I try to use it I get the following errors:Traceback (most recent call last):
[06:56] <wrykyn>   File "/usr/lib/site-python/eric3/eric3.py", line 147, in ?
[06:56] <wrykyn>     main()
[06:56] <icewt> arpan, are you using backports?
[06:56] <D1> how is gstreamer compared to xine? last I tried it couldn't play proprietary formats.
[06:56] <arpan> u mean the apt repo?
[06:56] <tikka> Chaotic_Shield,  I have already tried and failed.. hence bugging you guys :D
[06:57] <wrykyn> Any ideas how I can fix this?
[06:57] <arpan> u mean the apt repo? icewt
[06:57] <PlanarPlatypus> D1, it kinda works, some files give you sound but no video though
[06:57] <arpan> yeah I am using them
[06:57] <cefx> So btw
[06:57] <cefx> the guide SUCKS. :)
[06:57] <Chaotic_Shield> well, that's fine then, but shit bag isn't
[06:57] <D1> oh, hmm.
[06:57] <cefx> It has nothing about installing codecs.
[06:57] <D1> oh well, as long as xine is around, all works well for me.
[06:57] <djp> D1: it can playback most formats. as far as i know all formats i have tried to use with it work
[06:57] <Spudchat> it does you must be in the wrong spot
[06:57] <D1> good thing its progressing.
[06:57] <djp> PlanarPlatypus: which ones?
[06:57] <cefx> djp: What do I need to play most formats?
[06:58] <Spudchat> i found divx for linux on there
[06:58] <cefx> I'm in the amd64 section...
[06:58] <nJess> is there a linux equivilant to quickbooks?
[06:58] <cefx> is there no avi playback in amd64? :(
[06:58] <D1> cefx,
[06:58] <D1> this might help
[06:58] <D1> http://ubuntuguide.org/#codecs
[06:58] <Spudchat> divx
[06:58] <PlanarPlatypus> djp, all the ones which did it to me are .avi but I think it is something special about he encoding which does it
[06:58] <Chaotic_Shield> tikka, I have nfi where to find info about .dsc
[06:58] <D1> if you're using gstreamer I think.
[06:58] <nickrud> nJess, I use gnucash for that
[06:58] <djp> cefx: you need to install gstreamer0.8-plugins (meta package) and gstreamer0.8-ffmpeg
[06:58] <Chaotic_Shield> but I want to freakin MOUNT MY CDROM DRIVE.
[06:58] <nJess> nickrud, is the interface similar?
[06:58] <Spudchat> totem plays avis just fine on my friends 64bit sys
[06:59] <Chaotic_Shield> that's it.
[06:59] <Chaotic_Shield> restart2win.
[06:59] <floo> c'mon guys, i need help getting vlc to find libdvdcss in usr/local/lib
[06:59] <djp> PlanarPlatypus: all avi's i have thrown at totem-gstreamer work. like you say though, could be something to do with the avi's encoding...
[06:59] <cefx> djpg: I don't think they have an ffmpeg for amd64 ;p
[07:00] <djp> cefx: oh, i am not sure about that. maybe someone else can advise you
[07:00] <mjr> cefx, we do
[07:00] <_icebreaker_> how can i change the standard os in grub?
[07:00] <cefx> mjr: oh? why can't i find the ffmpeg or w32codecs packages?
[07:01] <bur[n] er> cefx: universe
[07:01] <cefx> ?
[07:01] <remmus> whenever i started, i got pop up warning "Missing command to run" how to fix it?
[07:02] <izmaelis> _icebreaker_, you mean like which os is loading by default after some time or what?
[07:02] <bur[n] er> oh, nm, 64, i have no idea
[07:02] <remmus> would anybody please help me
[07:02] <remmus> whenever i started, i got pop up warning "Missing command to run" how to fix it?
[07:03] <nubbe> cefx, I thought w32codecs was in backports
[07:03] <Chaotic_Shield> sigh
[07:03] <Chaotic_Shield> it mounts when I restart.
[07:03] <Chaotic_Shield> It no like bay devices.
[07:03] <D1> nubbe, it is.
[07:03] <D1> you're not seeing it?
[07:04] <cefx> nubbe: not for amd64.
[07:04] <Zornst> Is there anyone around who could help me with a software RAID/LVM problem?
[07:04] <D1> oh.
[07:04] <nubbe> cefx, oki, my bad
[07:04] <PlanarPlatypus> Zornst, depends what it is
[07:04] <remmus> whenever i started, i got pop up warning "Missing command to run"
[07:04] <remmus> how to fix this
[07:04] <cefx> fack
[07:05] <Ave> is there a way to get xorg 7.0rc0 into hoary?
[07:05] <nubbe> cefx Have u tried marillat? No idea if he got stuff that works tho
[07:05] <Zornst> well, PlanarPlatypus, when I boot I get a message that one of my raid arrays isn't clean, and that its starting background reconstruction
[07:05] <Zornst> I get a few other messages, and then it says its stopping with one task remaining
[07:05] <Chaotic_Shield> XMMS plays mp3's, yes?
[07:05] <_icebreaker__> izmaelis, yes exactly
[07:06] <zever> Chaotic_Shield, yes
[07:06] <izmaelis> _icebreaker__, so you must edit your grub.conf
[07:06] <ompaul> !restricted formats
[07:06] <ubotu> methinks restricted formats is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats or 'codecs'
[07:06] <Chaotic_Shield> grub.conf2win.
[07:06] <Ave> Zornst: what does it say for: cat /proc/mdstat
[07:06] <ompaul> Chaotic_Shield, that last url from ubotu was for you :)
[07:06] <_icebreaker__> izmaelis, where is it located /etc/ ?
[07:07] <Ave> Zornst: or mdadm array query commands
[07:07] <bo> need help on printing .. windows box through my linux box
[07:07] <Zornst> I can't can't cat anything.  I don't get a shell, or even close to a getting a shell
[07:07] <Ave> ah hmm, well cant you boot in degraded mode
[07:07] <raDeon> bo, good luck with all that
[07:07] <skalpel> hello, i have made a mistake in my /lib/lsb/init-functions file and now i need to correct it, but ubuntu will only boot into a read-only filesystem, how do i fix this?
[07:08] <Zornst> what would I do to boot in degraded mode?
[07:08] <Ave> Zornst: are you having raid1?
[07:08] <izmaelis> _icebreaker__, sudo nano /boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:09] <skalpel> how do i mount my ubuntu install from a ubuntu live cd?
[07:09] <Zornst> yes, raid 1
[07:09] <Ave> Zornst: boot from rescue media and remove faulty drive from array(s) with mdadm
[07:09] <Ave> or take out the drive entirely, physically
[07:09] <Ave> but it has to be the drive thats marked dirty
[07:09] <Zornst> ok, let me try booting from a CD
[07:10] <skalpel> how do i mount my ubuntu install from a ubuntu live cd?
[07:11] <cefx> let's see how fast ubuntu is at loading stuff :P
[07:11] <_icebreaker__> izmaelis, can'T fins how to setup the default
[07:11] <cefx> music files
[07:11] <cefx> oh wtf they cant handle .mp3 files?
[07:11] <rob_p> skalpel:  What were you doing messing with /lib/lsb/init-functions?  ...just curious is all!
[07:12] <Martin> My gam_server process from gamin is always around 90% CPU. Anybody has an idea?
[07:12] <skalpel> rob_p: i was changing my but font and i made a typo
[07:12] <skalpel> boot font
[07:12] <rob_p> skalpel:  Can't you change it back?
[07:12] <dylan_> Does Totem play QuickTime files?
[07:12] <izmaelis> _icebreaker__, look for a line: default             0
[07:12] <skalpel> rob_p: only after i mount the install partition from thsi live cd, which i do not know how to do
[07:12] <skalpel> =)
[07:13] <piksi> ok so it seems i'm one of those plenty people who have s-ata drive with ultra ata (ide?) emulation that doesn't let the installation of ubuntu continue (no cd detected) .....??
[07:13] <skalpel> rob_p: ubuntu is booting into a read-only filesystem and i cannot edit the file
[07:13] <mjr> dylan_, depends on what codec is used in them
[07:13] <dylan_> mjr:  what codec should i use?
[07:13] <piksi> is this an addressed bug in the current ubuntu or something stranger?
[07:13] <rob_p> skalpel:  Oh... read only... I see!  Can you boot to single user mode?
[07:13] <mjr> dylan_, something that's supported?
[07:14] <skalpel_> what is that about?
[07:14] <mjr> mpeg-4 is all the rage today, and even though patented, is available from universe
[07:14] <dylan_> mjr:  sure, whatever....what can i use to play quicktime files in linux?  (not from the console)
[07:14] <mjr> (I don't think quicktime can do theora)
[07:14] <mjr> dylan_, I refer to my first answer
[07:14] <dylan_> mjr:  what codec can i get?
[07:15] <Zornst> crud, after loading the logo screen the CD isn't doing anything more
[07:15] <mjr> dylan_, mpeg-4, and maybe some earlier sorenson codecs, I think
[07:15] <dylan_> thanks
[07:15] <skalpel_> can someone tell me how to mount my ubuntu partition from a live cd?
[07:15] <_icebreaker__> izmaelis, ok i changed that. what command must i run to change thinks?
[07:15] <Ave> Zornst: :-\ well I guess your only option then is to remove the faulty drive frmo the bus and try booting
[07:16] <izmaelis> you must save edited file and reboot pc to see changes
[07:16] <FinalFan> hi, does any one know if there's custom taxes in Portugal?
[07:17] <Zornst> actually, I got the CD to work, the prompt wasn't being displayed, but I was able to type rescue and hit enter
[07:17] <_icebreaker__> izmaelis, ok. just thougt it is like lilo...
[07:17] <ghost^|patrick> hi
[07:17] <ghost^|patrick> i am unable to boot to shell or gui
[07:17] <jadedstar> FinalFan: I'm sure there are, however I have no clue what they might be.
[07:17] <rob_p> skalpel_:  If you can boot to single user mode, you should be able to fix the corrupt config file...
[07:17] <ghost^|patrick> at bootup time suddenly a password is needed
[07:18] <FinalFan> ok,tnx
[07:18] <jadedstar> FinalFan: No problem
[07:18] <Martin> my gam_server problem has been happening on two Dell laptop I have. I found other peoples having the same problem with google but no solutions.
[07:18] <skalpel_> rob_p: how do i do that?
[07:18] <rob_p> skalpel_:  are you using grub or lilo?
[07:18] <ghost^|patrick> the problem i got is that neither my user ids nor any of my passwords are accepted
[07:18] <ghost^|patrick> even in the save mode i cant access anything
[07:18] <skalpel_> rob_p: i get an error about the filesystem not being there, something serious looking and then it boots me into a read only root login
[07:18] <ghost^|patrick> what should i do now?
[07:18] <skalpel_> rob_p: grub
[07:19] <ghost^|patrick> tty1
[07:19] <ghost^|patrick> is said there
[07:19] <FinalFan> What are the system requirements for Ubuntu? Is it heavy?
[07:19] <skalpel_> no.
[07:19] <mjr> FinalFan, not particularly
[07:20] <piksi> ok so it seems nobody is familiar with the intel 82801FBE and these fucked up s-ata module problems?
[07:20] <skalpel_> rob_p: should i try it in recovery mode?
[07:20] <piksi> :-(
[07:20] <Spudchat> id like to install vlc player what package should i get?
[07:20] <mjr> for the default gnome you do want some memory, preferrable at least 3 figures worth
[07:20] <ghost^|patrick> what can I do to reawake my ubuntu?
[07:20] <rob_p> skalpel_:  at the grub prompt, select the image to boot but hit, "e" instead and then append a comma, a space, and then the word, "single"
[07:20] <zever> !find vlc
[07:20] <skalpel_> ok
[07:20] <skalpel_> i will
[07:20] <ghost^|patrick> the recovery mode fails at the same point as the standard kernel boot
[07:21] <Martin> I have gamin0.0.26-0ubuntu3 installed. I eared that the 0.1 version could help but it is not compatible wity hoary.
[07:21] <thoreauputic> !info vlc
[07:21] <ubotu> vlc: (multimedia player for all audio and video formats), section universe/graphics, is optional. Version: 0.8.1-1ubuntu7 (hoary), Packaged size: 4867 kB, Installed size: 11816 kB
[07:21] <rob_p> skalpel_:  then enter... I think that will get you single user mode... hopefully :)
[07:21] <Spudchat> nice
[07:21] <Spudchat> thanks guys
[07:21] <andril> hello all*
[07:21] <flogiston> When i try to wine any program from my windows drive I en up with this error:Please use the registry key HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Software\Fonts\LogPixels
[07:21] <flogiston> to set the screen resolution and remove the "Resolution" entry in the config file
[07:21] <flogiston> . What does it mean?
[07:22] <ghost^|patrick> what should i do
[07:22] <ghost^|patrick> which opportuinity have i now, since the linux cant boot up
[07:23] <ghost^|patrick> i think the cause of my problem is that i installed the ati driver from synaptic with reconfiguration of my x
[07:23] <levander> I've got a bunch of java development libraries I download to develop software against.  I've got to get them out of my home directory for size of backup purposes.  Where on the Linux file system are you supposed to put stuff like this?
[07:23] <Spudchat> found and installed :)
[07:23] <ghost^|patrick> 3hours it worked good, then i tried  to view the ogl screeensaver
[07:23] <ghost^|patrick> a that moment my system frooze
[07:23] <Martin> levander: I do use /opt
[07:23] <ghost^|patrick> ein neither could reboot the x server nor make anything else
[07:23] <haffe> Hi, does anybody have a clue as to when glitz will be incorporated in ubuntu?
[07:23] <ghost^|patrick> this morning i tried to boot up then but nothing happened
[07:24] <levander> Yeah, Martin, that's not a bad idea.  Might do that, any other suggestions?
[07:24] <ghost^|patrick> i only got the dump password request that asks me to log in as root
[07:24] <speel> any one try kde 3.4.2 yet?
[07:24] <Nomad_1> What's the best way to remove a linux installation and grub? (I know reformatting the harddrive that linux is installed on will do the first part, but what about grub which for me is on the MBR of another HD?)
[07:25] <levander> Martin, yeah, think I'm just gonna use /opt, that's better than the things I was thinking.  Thanks.
[07:25] <julietta^^^> hi there, which command would hash a string say: sha1sum << echo mypassword
[07:25] <julietta^^^> thanks a lot
[07:25] <Martin> levander: pleasure. I hope I'll find something about my gamin problem ;)
[07:26] <ghost^|patrick> nobody there who has an idea what i should try next`?
[07:26] <Ave> Nomad_1: install another bootloader OR zero the first 512 bytes of the hd, note that this will leave you with unbootable syste
[07:26] <mjr> Nomad_1, if it's not the boot HD, the MBR part of grub doesn't really do any harm; if it is, then just install a new boot sector for whatever you want booting there
[07:27] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: just an idea - if you have a live CD boot it up, open the root terminal, mount the partitions of your Ubuntu, then chroot to the mount point and issue "telinit 1" to get single user mode: from there you may be able to boot by hitting ctrl-d
[07:27] <Harold> Morning/Afternoon/Night/Trauma everyone.
[07:28] <yccheok> hi, i had seen some desktop themese which is transparent. may i noe how i can do so? can anyone point me out the resource?
[07:28] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: if this works I think you would at least have a root prompt in runlevel 1 to try to rescue from
[07:28] <ghost^|patrick> that crtl-d appears in the recovery mode
[07:28] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: correct
[07:29] <ghost^|patrick> but after that i get the same password request as in the normal boot up
[07:29] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: do you first get a # prompt  ?
[07:29] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: if so, you have root already
[07:29] <ghost^|patrick> no
[07:30] <ghost^|patrick> first it asks me to login
[07:30] <ghost^|patrick> but all my passes and id as a failure
[07:30] <ghost^|patrick> then it says, procede with crtl-d
[07:30] <ghost^|patrick> then i have the same trouble as in the default kernel
[07:30] <cefx> Hey.  What's the command to burn an image to a CD in terminal?
[07:30] <cefx> I forget.
[07:31] <cefx> It has something to do with mkisofs :/
[07:31] <Nomad_1> Ave mjr: Thanks guys. I'll have to read about this stuff when I get off work.
[07:31] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: if the kernel won't boot, you are more or less screwed
[07:31] <skalpel> rob_p: hi, i booted into single-user mode but was unable to edit the file i wanted to edit or anything, wat should i do?
[07:31] <rob_p> skalpel:  was the filesystem mounted read only?
[07:31] <BxN`> hello
[07:32] <ompaul> skalpel, what file did you want to edit?
[07:32] <ghost^|patrick> its after the hardware detection
[07:32] <BxN`> im about to try ubuntu and i wondered does it have the usual stuff like xMMS and firefox, an irc client etc etc?
[07:32] <skalpel> ompaul: /lib/lsb/init-functions
[07:32] <ghost^|patrick> the last thing i can read, taht the mice has been recognized
[07:32] <BxN`> also can i access my windows partition from ubuntu
[07:32] <siero> irc.tin.it
[07:32] <skalpel> rob_p: i do not think so, i just did not have access to a command to edit the file
[07:32] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: worst case scenario: use the live CD to copy all your important data across the network or to a USB drive/stick etc
[07:32] <rob_p> skalpel:  you should have vi
[07:33] <ompaul> skalpel, to mount everything mount -a will mount all default items
[07:33] <djp> cefx: cdrecord -v dev=??? speed=? driveropts=burnfree -dao -eject foobar.iso
[07:33] <skalpel> rob_p: show me the command i should use once the filesystem is mounted, so i will know for sure, ok?
[07:33] <ghost^|patrick> thoreauputic: dont say i should format the drive
[07:33] <strykewulf> is there a way to let people connect to my website althouh i dont have a static ip
[07:33] <ghost^|patrick> :/
[07:33] <ghost^|patrick> that would be the 5th in 2 weeks
[07:33] <ghost^|patrick> crap
[07:33] <PlanarPlatypus> strykewulf, dyndns.org ?
[07:33] <ompaul> skalpel, nano is an editor that you could use
[07:33] <strykewulf> ty planar
[07:33] <skalpel> i tried using nano but i did not get anything, do i have to use mount -a first?
[07:34] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: do you have more than one bootable kernel in /boot ?
[07:34] <ompaul> skalpel, you have to
[07:34] <ghost^|patrick> thoreauputic: ya, but nothin g worked
[07:34] <skalpel> ompaul: in single user mode, correct?
[07:34] <rob_p> skalpel:  vi /lib/lsb/init-functions
[07:34] <ghost^|patrick> 386 and k7
[07:34] <ghost^|patrick> nobody boots
[07:34] <skalpel> rob_p: alright, thank you
[07:34] <ghost^|patrick> none
[07:34] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: you tried them from the grub menu?
[07:34] <skalpel> i will try that now.
[07:34] <skalpel> =)
[07:34] <om_> skalpel: you may not have permission to modify that file
[07:34] <om_> try sudo if it doesn't work
[07:34] <ghost^|patrick> thoreauputic: thats the only bootmanager i have
[07:35] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: right
[07:35] <ompaul> skalpel, yes, and a question occurs to me why edit that file?
[07:35] <BxN`> can i play mp3s in ubuntu if im running off a livecd
[07:35] <BxN`> or will i need to load it on since mp3 playback requires a plugin
[07:35] <ghost^|patrick> well.. the reason for this crap is that the system suddenly frooze as i tried to watch OGL screensaver
[07:35] <ghost^|patrick> what went wrong
[07:35] <ghost^|patrick> any ideas?
[07:35] <xliu> is it possible to mount an .img file?
[07:36] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: it might be possible to install a new kernel image and boot that, but I'm not sure how you would go about it
[07:36] <ghost^|patrick> i have absolutly no skills with this :(
[07:36] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: seems strange that a driver install would trash everything like this - are you sure your hardware is OK?
[07:37] <ghost^|patrick> i am in windows...
[07:37] <cefx> djp: siiick, you rock :) I was just hoping for a manpage!
[07:37] <ghost^|patrick> i just played an hour a stupid shooter to calm down
[07:37] <cefx> does cdrecord have a manpage? *checks*
[07:37] <ghost^|patrick> everything worx fine
[07:37] <levander> Anybdy in here has gotten udftools to work?
[07:37] <graabein> anyone got a link to dpkg howto? i want to learn how to install/remove deb-packages
[07:37] <ghost^|patrick> so its an linux issue :(
[07:37] <cefx> yay it does
[07:37] <cefx> graabein: man dpkg ?
[07:38] <graabein> cefx, yeah that would work, hehe
[07:38] <levander> graabein: hold on, there was a post to ubuntuforums about this, lemme find it
[07:38] <xliu> how to open an image file in ubuntu?
[07:38] <ompaul> graabein, use aptitude or apt-get dpkg is being deprecated (it will go out of fashion shortly - :))
[07:38] <ompaul> xliu, gimp file.name
[07:38] <ompaul> xliu, there are many many ways
[07:39] <graabein> i think i installed a couple of deb-packages myself and they dont work so i want to get rid of them
[07:39] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: you said you had reformatted several times - this is not usually necessary with linux either; and normally ubuntu is rock solid (my current uptime is 40 days)

[07:40] <ghost^|patrick> thoreauputic: the first times i did because i coulnd do anything
[07:40] <arpan> after restarting the machine, firefox worked
[07:41] <ghost^|patrick> the last time i was aple to get around my problems and boot without reinstall
[07:41] <ghost^|patrick> but now
[07:41] <ghost^|patrick> now its different
[07:41] <arpan> i have d'loaded a Gnome Desktop theme, how do I install it?
[07:41] <ghost^|patrick> coze i cant do anything
[07:41] <salil> arpan: hya mula.. goto install theme..
[07:41] <skalpel> rob_p: no luck, i cannot use the vi command
[07:41] <skalpel> rob_p: after doing what you told me to do i get a grub edit> prompt
[07:41] <arpan> OK salil
[07:42] <xliu> how to open an ISO/IMG file in ubuntu?
[07:42] <salil> can anyone help me with a bluetooth adapter problem..?? anyone know how to do that..?
[07:42] <skalpel> and something like root (hda3,0) already entered
[07:42] <rob_p> xliu:  create a mount point, then mount the image to it using, "mount -t iso9660 image /created/mount/point/ -o loop"
[07:42] <salil> arpan: where're you from, dude..??
[07:42] <skalpel> rob_p: i have a list of commands i can use but vi is not one of them
[07:42] <skalpel> nor is mount
[07:42] <levander> graabein: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=12040&highlight=dpkg-buildpackage - this page doesn't emphasize to change your sources.list to get the sources from another repository.  Doing that will make things a lot easier.
[07:42] <thoreauputic> ghost^|patrick: I suggest you try sending to the ubuntu-users mailing list a detailed descripton of your problem with whatever info you can gather - it is a high traffic list with a lot of clueful people: someone might have some ideas
[07:42] <skalpel> rob_p: are you sure there is no way to edit this file from my live cd?
[07:42] <rob_p> skalpel:  at the grub edit prompt, you need to append a comma, a space, and then the word, "single"
[07:42] <skalpel> rob_p: such as mounting my ubuntu install from here?
[07:42] <graabein> levander, i know about the repos, these are debs i didnt find there
[07:43] <arpan> i am from Pondicherry, India
[07:43] <arpan> u salil ?
[07:43] <skalpel> rob_p: ah, after root (hda3,0) ?
[07:43] <salil> arpan: i'm from NP
[07:43] <skalpel> rob_p: so from the grub loader i push the e key and then enter?
[07:43] <salil> arpan: what 'bout you..?
[07:44] <xliu> rob_p, thanks
[07:44] <hid3> Hello everyone.. Is there any utility which monitors how much each (network) device uses interrupt?
[07:44] <levander> graabein: 'dpkg --remove' or 'dpkg --purge' to get rid of the configuration files too.
[07:44] <rob_p> skalpel:  e key then append the single switch and then enter.  Then b for boot, I think... been a long time since I've used grub...
[07:44] <graabein> levander, ok, how about searching for a particular pacakge?
[07:44] <graabein> that i think i installed, at least i tried to
[07:44] <levander> graabein: 'apt-cache search'
[07:45] <rob_p> xliu:  no prob!  good luck :)
[07:45] <skalpel> rob_p: im sorry, single switch?
[07:45] <salil> anyone who knows how to use bluetooth adapter..??
[07:45] <skalpel> rob_p: at the grub menu i pressed e and then nothing happened, so i continued to to type what you told me, comma space single
[07:45] <skalpel> and after i finished typing that i was takin to that grub prompt with root (hda1,0) already entered in for me
[07:45] <levander> graabein: 'apt-cache show' or more succinctly 'dpkg -l' to find out if a specific package is installed
[07:46] <rob_p> skalpel:  You need to do whatever it takes to get to single user mode (not sure off the top of my head since I don't use grub).  Once you do that, then proceed to fix the file.
[07:46] <graabein> levander, thanks, ill try
[07:46] <skalpel> rob_p: well the problem is that evidently i do not know how to get to single user mode. i thought that is what i had arrived at at the grub edit> prompt
[07:46] <skalpel> but i think i might have it now
[07:47] <skalpel> do i hit enter after using 'e' at the boot menu?

[07:47] <skalpel> that is what i am not sure about, hitting e by itself does nothing
[07:47] <rob_p> skalpel:  at the edit prompt, you append the switch, "single" and it should allow you to boot the image in single user mode...
[07:47] <skalpel> rob_p: what is the switch?
[07:47] <Razor-X> does X.org have dga?
[07:47] <rob_p> skalpel:  single
[07:47] <skalpel> ok
[07:47] <graabein> ups, sorry if i was spamming there... but what does that mean... pn?
[07:48] <skalpel_> rob_p: correct?
[07:48] <Seveas> graabein, that means you once had it installed and now purged
[07:49] <salil> can anyone tell me what command to use to look for connected usb devices..??
[07:49] <graabein> Seveas, ok... cause i had the old version from universe installed and i tried to install the new one from a deb
[07:49] <salil> can anyone tell me what command to use to look for connected usb devices..??
[07:49] <sdschulze> Can one switch from Debian to Ubuntu without a hard reinstallation?
[07:49] <cefx> ok so
[07:50] <graabein> but i got a lot of ruby errors. i think i need to update ruby first... so i guess i have to wait till its in the repos cause i really dont know what im doing :)
[07:50] <Razor-X> sdschulze: no
[07:50] <sdschulze> :(
[07:50] <Seveas> sdschulze, depends...
[07:50] <salil> can anyone tell me what command to use to look for connected usb devices..??
[07:50] <sdschulze> What's the problem?
[07:50] <Seveas> it's not impossible, it might just be hard :)
[07:50] <cefx> cdrecord -v dev=/dev/cdrom speed=20x driveropts=burnfree -dao -eject ubuntu-5.04-install-i386.iso ?
[07:50] <Seveas> sarge -> hoary is not the easiest route
[07:51] <Seveas> sarge -> breezy or woody -> hoary are easier
[07:51] <Razor-X> sdschulze: you can use your config files, obviously, but the majority of the things can't migrate
[07:51] <sdschulze> Well, I'm flexible. :)
[07:51] <Razor-X> well, most of the config files, rather
[07:51] <cefx> Seveas: Hi!  Nice to meet you. :) I'm a new user...and I think I've converted from Slackware -> Ubuntu...
[07:51] <sdschulze> Razor-X: The package names are different?
[07:51] <cefx> Is the syntax and everything correct in that line I juyst pasted?
[07:52] <Razor-X> sdschulze: yeah
[07:52] <cefx> for burning an iso to a C
[07:52] <cefx> D
[07:52] <Seveas> Razor-X, most things can migrate...
[07:52] <Razor-X> Seveas: well, he'll still need to reinstall, no?
[07:52] <Razor-X> you can't incorporate debian packages in Ubuntu without a lot of strife
[07:52] <Seveas> Razor-X, but an upgrade from debian to ubuntu will eliminate the debian packages :)
[07:53] <salil> can anyone tell me what command to use to look for connected usb devices..??
[07:53] <Razor-X> Seveas: hmmmm, really?
[07:53] <Seveas> salil, lsusb
[07:53] <sdschulze> Well, I've actually two points:
[07:53] <graabein> how do i find (and remove) something i installed by a run-file?
[07:53] <salil> Seveas: thanks
[07:53] <Seveas> graabein, not
[07:54] <sdschulze> 0: My CD-ROM drive seems bit broken, I'd like to avoid booting from CD.
[07:54] <salil> Seveas: is there any other command..?? this one isn't showing anything..
[07:54] <sdschulze> 1: I'd like to reuse my configuration files.
[07:54] <Razor-X> o-O
[07:54] <Razor-X> MPlayer's docs are like pages long
[07:54] <sdschulze> So can I get a bootable Ubuntu system from Debian?
[07:55] <Seveas> sdschulze, yes
[07:55] <fredforfaen> is there someone in here having troubles with locales....i get a error where it tells me that locales is broken....when i try to reinstall locales it just tells me that its broken...whet to do?
[07:55] <fredforfaen> what*
[07:55] <graabein> give me some peace!
[07:55] <salil> Seveas: i have a usb bluetooth adapter installed..and i need to find its address..
[07:55] <graabein> fredforfaen, :)
[07:55] <salil> can you tell me how to do that..??
[07:56] <fredforfaen> hehe graabein
[07:56] <Razor-X> salil: lspci -v
[07:56] <fredforfaen> anyone?
[07:56] <Seveas> salil, if lsusb doesn't show it there are no drivers installed
[07:56] <Seveas> salil, check dmesg for details
[07:57] <synd> whats the key combo to scroll up in irssi?
[07:57] <Seveas> fredforfaen, paste the complete error on the pastebin please
[07:57] <Seveas> synd, [PgUp]
[07:57] <ToTaL_LiNuX_NeWb> will beagle be included by default in breezy?
[07:57] <fredforfaen> pastebin?
[07:57] <Seveas> !pastebin
[07:57] <ubotu> I heard pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl/ http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/ or #flood
[07:57] <fredforfaen> ok thanx
[07:57] <synd> Seveas: ah, makes sense. thanks
[07:57] <fredforfaen> ill do so
[07:57] <ZincX> Seveas, i have a domain... can i use it as a vhost when i connect from my normal connection ?
[07:57] <Seveas> ZincX, you mean on IRC?
[07:58] <ZincX> Seveas, yes
[07:58] <sdschulze> OK, thanks everyone
[07:58] <cefx> I'm too poor to own domains.
[07:58] <Seveas> ZincX, no
[07:58] <cefx> What?
[07:58] <cefx> Yes he can.
[07:58] <ZincX> hm.. u mean i cant have my domain as my vhost ?
[07:58] <Seveas> or you must convince your provider to set the RDNS for your IP to your domain :)
[07:58] <cefx> Seveas, if he uses nameservers he can set his hostname to whatever he wants.
[07:58] <Seveas> ZincX, indeed :)
[07:58] <ZincX> reverse dns aen ?
[07:58] <cefx> No matter who his ISP is
[07:58] <fredforfaen> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/327731 there it is ...the locales thingy
[07:58] <Seveas> cefx, IRC servers cannot know that domain
[07:58] <arpan> I have got a cool splash screen for Gnome, how do i set it?
[07:58] <Seveas> they know only the IP
[07:58] <salil> Seveas: thanks.. dmesg worked..
[07:59] <Seveas> and the reverse hostname
[07:59] <cefx> Seveas, they don't have to.  That's what nameservers are for.
[07:59] <ChrischiO`GER> hi again
[07:59] <ZincX> hmm..
[07:59] <cefx> If he knows someone with a nameserver they can add the records
[07:59] <graabein> http://packages.ubuntu.com - search for beagle in breezy
[07:59] <cefx> and the domain name will resolve
[07:59] <cefx> believe me, I know
[07:59] <Seveas> cefx, that's not what we are talking about
[07:59] <cefx> oh
[07:59] <fredforfaen> anyone?
[07:59] <cefx> hmm..
[07:59] <Seveas> i know better :)
[07:59] <cefx> my bad, sorry :)
[07:59] <Seveas> fredforfaen, hang on
[07:59] <fredforfaen> ok
[08:00] <cefx> cuz see, Sev... /dns icmps.org and if you DNS the IP it will resolve to a res.rr.com ISP hostname
[08:00] <ChrischiO`GER> ehm.. installed ubuntu some minutes ago.. install didnt ask for root passw so: what is my root PW?
[08:00] <cefx> :\
[08:00] <bur[n] er> can anyone tell me how to get /dev and /proc to work when using a livecd in a chroot environment so I can apt-get upgrade -s
[08:00] <ZincX> Seveas, i dont mind aslong as it appears as a vhost.. even if its using a name server o anythin
[08:00] <Seveas> fredforfaen, try: LC_ALL=C sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales
[08:00] <cefx> ChrischiO`GER, type sudo passwd root
[08:00] <cefx> and set it yourself :)
[08:00] <topyli> Razor-X: i tried it earlier today. cool and useless :)
[08:00] <fredforfaen> ok
[08:00] <cefx> I found that out yesterday
[08:00] <Seveas> cefx, do NOT advise that
[08:00] <cefx> Very well, Seveas :)
[08:00] <Razor-X> topyli: haha ;)
[08:00] <cefx> ChrischiO`GER, there's a command that allows you to open root shells without using the root account.
[08:00] <Razor-X> as it is, I use Eterm, so maybe i'll stick in the E environment
[08:01] <lasse> whitch mediaplayer shout i choos? mplayer eller xine-ui... nogen der kan hjlpe ?
[08:01] <Razor-X> I want to see how KDE apps look in Enlightenment
[08:01] <cefx> The root account is viewed as a security risk/flaw in Ubuntu
[08:01] <Seveas> cefx, the UBuntu way is to use sudo, so explaining sudo is preferred over explaing sudo passwd root :)
[08:01] <fredforfaen> http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/327734 i get this Seveas
[08:01] <cefx> Ah!
[08:01] <Razor-X> because I really think the viewer apps (KPDF and KDVI) of KDE are of top notch quality
[08:01] <bur[n] er> amarok is best of breed too :)
[08:01] <Seveas> fredforfaen, try: LC_ALL=C sudo dpkg --configure locales
[08:01] <cefx> K
[08:01] <fredforfaen> k
[08:01] <Razor-X> KDE has some pretty nice apps ;)
[08:02] <cefx> BRB, reformatting to x86 from x86_64.
[08:02] <ToTaL_LiNuX_NeWb> will beagle be in breezy?
[08:02] <bur[n] er> kopete leaves something to be desired
[08:02] <cefx> I like XFCE.
[08:02] <Seveas> ToTaL_LiNuX_NeWb, yes
[08:02] <bur[n] er> as does konqueror
[08:02] <Razor-X> yeah, Konquerer is real nice
[08:02] <cefx> konq is bad ;(
[08:02] <bur[n] er> XFCE will rule once Thunar is a reality
[08:02] <arpan> can anyone tel me how I can change me splash screen?
[08:02] <chrissturm> how can i make a screenshot of one window?
[08:02] <Razor-X> you know what totally sucks?
[08:02] <skel_> arpan,
[08:02] <Seveas> arpan: To change the Ubuntu splash screen, open the gconf-editor and change the key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash-image
[08:02] <skel_> there a howto on the site
[08:02] <fredforfaen> i get this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/327735 Seveas
[08:02] <bur[n] er> konq's fish:// access is nice, but konq kinda blows imo
[08:02] <Razor-X> my aptitude doesen't come with super cow powers -_-
[08:03] <Razor-X> bur[n] er: there are quite a few dedicated Konquerer fans
[08:03] <fredforfaen> gotta go to tha toilet...brb
[08:03] <Seveas> fredforfaen, try: LC_ALL=C sudo apt-get install locales
[08:03] <arpan> Seveas, can't I do it in the GUI mode?
[08:03] <Razor-X> i'm not dedicated, but I like the browser a lot
[08:03] <fredforfaen> ok
[08:03] <Seveas> arpan, gconf-editor is the only way
[08:03] <bur[n] er> the browser doesn't compare to firefox
[08:03] <graabein> ToTaL_LiNuX_NeWb, it looks like it. go to http://packages.ubuntu.com/ and search for beagle in breezy
[08:04] <arpan> thx Seveas
[08:04] <bur[n] er> ok, back to chroot, anyone familiar with it?
[08:04] <fredforfaen> i get this http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/327737 Seveas
[08:04] <fredforfaen> brb
[08:04] <ToTaL_LiNuX_NeWb> thanks guys
[08:04] <Razor-X> bur[n] er: I prefer Opera, meself
[08:04] <Seveas> fredforfaen, wtf have you done to mess up your system so bad? mixing debian and ubuntu?!?
[08:05] <ChrischiO`GER> cfex - but why am i allowed to change rootpwd if im not logged in as root???
[08:05] <arpan> Seveas, by splash screen I mean the screen that displays when I log in
[08:05] <ChrischiO`GER> cefx - but why am i allowed to change rootpwd if im not logged in as root???
[08:05] <Razor-X> ChrischiO`GER: because you own the box
[08:05] <Seveas> arpan, yes you change that the way I explained :)
[08:05] <ChrischiO`GER> oO
[08:05] <Phuzion> Hey, where can I get drivers for my sound card?
[08:05] <Razor-X> and therefore, you can be root
[08:05] <Razor-X> duh? ;)
[08:05] <graabein> fredforfaen, do you know how to get norwegian spelling and date-format in every app?
[08:05] <ChrischiO`GER> h?
[08:05] <Seveas> ChrischiO`GER, sudo makes you root
[08:05] <Phuzion> I have some POS integrated card.
[08:06] <Razor-X> at least, i'm _assuming_ you own the box ;)
[08:06] <fredforfaen> Seveas....it was after i installed some package manually....totally my fault...i know
[08:06] <Seveas> fredforfaen, uninstall that package
[08:06] <fredforfaen> graabein thats one of the problems now
[08:06] <Seveas> and install ubuntu-desktop
[08:06] <Seveas> if that fails, you did something really bad
[08:06] <ChrischiO`GER> seveas - but what was the root pwd befor?
[08:06] <fredforfaen> hmm
[08:06] <bur[n] er> anyone ever have to use a livecd to upgrade packages?
[08:07] <Daedalus> how can I add a man file to my program or whatsoever
[08:07] <fredforfaen> well the system seems fine if it wherent for that locales pkg
[08:07] <ubuntu__> rob_p: still there? i was unable to boot into single user mode
[08:07] <Seveas> ChrischiO`GER, nothing
[08:08] <Seveas> it was not set
[08:08] <skalpel> is there a way to edit files on my ubuntu install partition from a live cd?
[08:08] <stjepan> heya
[08:08] <ChrischiO`GER> but if i wanted to login as su and just pressed Enter at password it didnt work..
[08:08] <stjepan> what client for newsgroups do you use?
[08:08] <ChrischiO`GER> -if +when  -.-'
[08:09] <skalpel> how come the ubuntu does not automatically detect monitor refresh rates and put them in xorg.conf?
[08:09] <skalpel> is there a way to edit files on my ubuntu install partition from a live cd?
[08:09] <mjr> skalpel, the X server is supposed to detect that on its own
[08:09] <bur[n] er> skalpel: mount it, edit them
[08:10] <skalpel> bur[n] er: can you tell me how to mont that partition?
[08:10] <skalpel> i do noty know how
[08:10] <skalpel> mjr: it did not do that, i am stuck in 640x480 mode
[08:10] <skalpel> mjr: why do you think it would fail to do that? there are no entries in xorg.conf for refresh rates.
[08:10] <bur[n] er> boot live cd, open term, sudo su, mount /dev/hdxx, cd /mnt/hdxx
[08:11] <fredforfaen> damn i cant fix it....is there anything i can do besides reinstall Seveas?
[08:11] <skalpel> how do i find out what dev the partition is using? i am not sure
[08:11] <mmoscosa> Does anyone knows how to install Nvu? or does anyone knows a similar program or better?!
[08:11] <bur[n] er> skalpel: just try them till it works :)
[08:11] <thoreauputic> !nvu
[08:11] <ubotu> methinks nvu is http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HowToInstallNVUHTMLEditor/ http://www.nvu.com/ Linux/Mac/Windows Web authoring.""
[08:11] <bur[n] er> boot live cd, open term, sudo su, mount /dev/hdxx, cd /mnt/hdxx, ls
[08:12] <mjr> skalpel, I guess you should add them explicitly then, dunno why it wouldn't (that is, if your monitor, video card and driver support it)
[08:12] <Seveas> fredforfaen, dunno, I don't know how seriously messed up your system is.
[08:12] <skalpel> mjr: they do support it. i already fixed this on my ubuntu install i was just curious about the live cd, it sucks to have that happen
[08:12] <onur> i would like to install Eclipse and tomcat 5 to my ubuntu installation. But i doubt that there s a related package in repositories. What should i do ?
[08:12] <mmoscosa> ubotu thankyou
[08:12] <topyli> mmoscosa: get it from nvu.com, extract the tarball in /opt, and you're ready to go
[08:12] <skalpel> bur[n] er: thank you.
[08:12] <ubotu> bitte, mmoscosa
[08:12] <fredforfaen> Seveas hmm , it seems pretty messed up
[08:12] <fredforfaen> damn
[08:13] <Tomcat_> onur: Check ubuntuforums.org, there are HowTos.
[08:13] <bur[n] er> well, the livecd isn't perfect
[08:13] <sexcopter8000m> can anyone suggest a programme for stringing together some jpegs into a video clip?
[08:14] <skalpel> bur[n] er: ubuntu is telling me i do not have any entries in /etc/fstab for hda1-5
[08:14] <skalpel> bur[n] er: what should i do?
[08:14] <bur[n] er> skalpel: hdb ??
[08:14] <bur[n] er> hdc??
[08:14] <mmoscosa> topyli hats the tarball in /opt
[08:14] <bur[n] er> hdd?
[08:14] <bur[n] er> possibly a bad hard drive?
[08:14] <skalpel> bur[n] er: ok
[08:14] <skalpel> no, not a bad hard drive, i just made a typo in /lib/lsb/init_functions
[08:14] <fredforfaen> guess its a reinstall then
[08:14] <fredforfaen> damn
[08:14] <topyli> mmoscosa: i can't parse that :)

[08:15] <topyli> mmoscosa: ubotu is just a poor little bot. he cannot understand such long statements :)
[08:15] <shinu> hi people
[08:16] <onur> ok second question is when i try to play an mpg file with with totem i got sound but no video. What should i do ?
[08:16] <skalpel> bur[n] er: i have 2 linux partitions type 83, on /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda3
[08:16] <skalpel> bur[n] er: why can't i mount them?
[08:16] <Simian> Hi, just installed ubuntu, how do I know what repos to use
[08:16] <rob_newbie> Can someone help with a good link over how to install from a tar file I am confused over how to compile these things
[08:17] <Simian> there used to be an unofficial faq but it seems to have gone
[08:17] <thoreauputic> !repos
[08:17] <ubotu> I guess repos is at http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/AddingRepositoriesHowto
[08:17] <fredforfaen> wish me luck
[08:17] <skalpel> bur[n] er: do i need to add these partitions to my /etc/fstab file?
[08:17] <topyli> mmoscosa: please stop /msging me. i'll help you on the channel
[08:17] <mmoscosa> topyli ohh ok
[08:17] <mmoscosa> topyli yes im here
[08:17] <mmoscosa> hehe
[08:17] <topyli> :)
[08:18] <Simian> ubotu I looked at that but it doesn't tell you wich ones to use
[08:18] <ubotu> Simian: No idea
[08:18] <bur[n] er> skalpel: i don't think you should have to...
[08:18] <Seveas> Simian: For a ready-to-use sources.list with all official Ubuntu repositories, go to paste.ubuntulinux.nl/38
[08:18] <topyli> mmoscosa: so you have the tarball
[08:18] <bur[n] er> skalpel: should be auto-detected
[08:18] <onur> no one to help me ?
[08:18] <mmoscosa> topyli yes
[08:18] <thoreauputic> Simian: start with universe and multiverse
[08:18] <bur[n] er> skalpel: if not... mkdir /mnt/blah; mount /dev/hdxx /mnt/blah
[08:18] <Seveas> mmoscosa, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingNvu
[08:18] <topyli> cd to /opt
[08:18] <Seveas> !nvu
[08:18] <ubotu> [nvu]  http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/HowToInstallNVUHTMLEditor/ http://www.nvu.com/ Linux/Mac/Windows Web authoring.""
[08:18] <rob_newbie> thanks
[08:18] <Seveas> !forget nvu
[08:18] <ubotu> i forgot nvu, Seveas
[08:18] <thoreauputic> Simian: if you need win32codecs for video add hoary-extras
[08:19] <Seveas> ubotu nvu is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/InstallingNvu http://www.nvu.com/ Linux/Mac/Windows Web authoring.
[08:19] <ubotu> Seveas: okay
[08:19] <mmoscosa> Seveas ok ill have a look
[08:19] <skalpel> bur[n] er: it says i cannot make that dir
[08:19] <topyli> topyli: then do this: sudo tar xjvf [drag and drop the file from the file manager to the terminal window]
[08:19] <bluefoxicy> task 6321       (sshd)
[08:19] <bluefoxicy>   bfac3000-bfad7000 rwxp bfac3000 00:00 0          [stack]
[08:19] <bluefoxicy>   0808d000-080b3000 rw-p 0808d000 00:00 0          [heap]
[08:19] <bluefoxicy> You GOTTA love this.
[08:19] <Simian> thanks guys, I'll give it a go
[08:19] <bluefoxicy> sshd with executable stack
[08:19] <skalpel> bur[n] er: nm, i got it
[08:20] <Seveas> bluefoxicy, hmmm
[08:20] <bluefoxicy> oddly enough, if I use a PaX kernel, sshd works, but has no WX mappings
[08:20] <PurpleMotion> Seveas:  do you ever sleep?
[08:20] <Seveas> PurpleMotion, do bots ever sleep?
[08:20] <bluefoxicy> that goes for half of Gnome, which decides that it wants WX mappings that it doesn't need.
[08:20] <PurpleMotion> but you're not a bot
[08:20] <bluefoxicy> and gaim
[08:20] <Seveas> PurpleMotion, who says that?
[08:21] <topyli> PurpleMotion: he's a very advanced bot
[08:21] <skalpel> bur[n] er: interestingly enough that put me in my windowsxp partition
[08:21] <onur> Tomcat_, I cant find anything in ubuntuforums related to tomcat or its repos
[08:21] <PurpleMotion> if he were a bot, the level of AI he displays would have long standing military applications and we would _never_ see the likes of him in a linux help channel
[08:21] <onur> ok second question is when i try to play an mpg file with with totem i got sound but no video. What should i do ?
[08:22] <Seveas> PurpleMotion, I am developed by people who dislike military applications
[08:22] <thoreauputic> !repeat
[08:22] <ubotu> extra, extra, read all about it, repeat is Don't repeat your question every few minutes- if someone knows they will answer
[08:22] <Tomcat_> onur: I've installed it a few days ago with a howto from there... wait a seocnd.
[08:22] <ChrischiO`GER> which chmod commands do i have to use to make a mounted drive read/writeable by nonsu??
[08:22] <skalpel> bur[n] er: how do i change over to the linux partition now? i did cd /mnt/blah but it put me in the live cd filesystem
[08:23] <Tomcat_> onur: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=44006&highlight=tomcat <--- How about this one? :>
[08:23] <Seveas> ChrischiO`GER, is it a fat23 drive or a linux drive?
[08:23] <PurpleMotion> It doesnt matter if they like military applications or not. if they design a level of ai that advanced, and the military wants it, they willt ake it
[08:23] <ChrischiO`GER> muaha ntfs  ^^
[08:23] <onur> Tomcat_, on my way
[08:23] <acid2_> Hey, which repo has gstreamer0.8-faad?
[08:23] <ChrischiO`GER> so readonly i know
[08:23] <Seveas> PurpleMotion, that may be the case in the US but not here
[08:23] <Seveas> ChrischiO`GER, indeed
[08:23] <thoreauputic> acid2_: probably hoary-extras
[08:23] <acid2_> oki doki
[08:23] <PurpleMotion> must be nice
[08:23] <acid2_> i'll see if I have that
[08:23] <thoreauputic> acid2_: not certain of that though
[08:24] <PurpleMotion> but i doubt its true
