[03:11] <zcat[1]> .. right from the CD.. if you have a recent intel card you will get all the 3d effects right away off the live cd
[03:11] <tell> anyone have an Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG working in Hardy?
[03:11] <ArrowLance> ubuntu likes to freeze up on me
[03:11] <Flannel> matthew_: the --target option.  But, I'm not really the best person to ask, you should try #gcc
[03:11] <osxdude> Hey.
[03:11] <tritium> shazzam: System -> Preferences -> Appearance
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> tell: that should work pretty well... Intel has a pretty good reputation
[03:12] <osxdude> Is there a terminal PDF viewer?
[03:12] <matthew_> Flannel, I guess I'm not understanding...where do I apply the --target option?
[03:12] <mechdave> Hi all, this could well be OT but no one else seems to want to answer, does anyone know how to get Evolution to request reciepts?
[03:12] <cris> i got a problem. i deleted something out of my upper panel, so i cannot see the compiz tray anymore. can anyone help me to recover it please???
[03:12] <ArrowLance> and then after i recover from the freeze python is screwed up
[03:12] <tell> IndyGunFreak: doesn't seem to, there is a problem with it in hardy
[03:12] <Flannel> matthew_: when you call gcc, its an option for gcc
[03:12] <Cracker_Jax_> could anyone tell me how to create a app launcher to launch a command line and not close after it has ran
[03:12] <shazzam> u know wat... ill just play around and see wat happens
[03:12] <zcat[1]> for any other card, you might need to install the drivers (system > administration > hardware drivers and tick the box)
[03:12] <IndyGunFreak> tell: hmm, didn't know that... i take it it worked fine in gutsy?
[03:12] <shazzam> for now...
[03:12] <osxdude> 6~Anyone?
[03:12] <matthew_> Flannel, oh, ok, maybe alias it out?
[03:12] <osxdude> I need one so I don't have to open the PDF all the time.
[03:12] <SniperXPX> can anyone here help me with a problem in xubuntu as nobody in #xubuntu is there
[03:12] <[gquit]bombadil> Cracker_Jax_: what are you trying to run?
[03:12] <tell> IndyGunFreak: new laptop, not sure, but from google results it seems that it did
[03:13] <IndyGunFreak> hmm
[03:13] <DaveKong_> My router is giving me a blinking green light and I can not use the internet what is going on?
[03:13] <Cracker_Jax_> i have a few programs i need to run in the command line, i.e. nmap
[03:13] <Ward1983> adam7, working again now thanx :)
[03:13] <adam7> Ward1983: no problem :)
[03:13] <CodemasterMM> hey guys, i am trying to do a PXE install on a server next to me and it loads the initd.gz and such, but sits there on a blank screen with a blinking underscore... anyone know wtf is going on
[03:14] <mechdave> DaveKong, restart your router
[03:14] <zcat[1]> davekong: you appear to be on the internet at the moment...
[03:14] <dmsuperman> How do I install a GTK theme that the System->preferences->appearence dialog won't recognize as a theme?
[03:15] <[gquit]bombadil> if you tick the "run in a terminal" box it should keep the window open, or alternatively, you could open a terminal and run nmap
[03:15] <bri-h> tell - I'm using intel 3945 and it works great
[03:15] <Cracker_Jax_> yeah but after i click it the terminal runs and closes
[03:15] <CodemasterMM> hey guys, i am trying to do a PXE install on a server next to me and it loads the initd.gz and such, but sits there on a blank screen with a blinking underscore... anyone know wtf is going on
[03:15] <tell> bri-h: which driver?
[03:16] <Dominion076> I just leveled up. i fixed my sound problem
[03:16] <osxdude> Seriously.
[03:16] <DragonLotus> IndyGunFreak: Apparently ctrl alt backspace works just as good as rebooting.  I'll take your advice ;)
[03:16] <osxdude> Anyone know of a terminal-based PDF viewer?
[03:16] <mechdave> CodemasterMM, is the link lights blinking on your network card?
[03:16] <[gquit]bombadil> Cracker_Jax_: i'm going to try this out
[03:16] <IndyGunFreak> DragonLotus: :), ok
[03:16] <Dominion076> after the last update i couldn't get any music files to work
[03:16] <zcat[1]> CodemasterMM: apparently you got something wrong. not sure how many ppl here know PXE well though, so good luck getting an answer
[03:16] <bri-h> tell - the default install worked - I had some trouble with the alpha and beta versions
[03:16] <tritium> osxdude: no
[03:17] <CodemasterMM> mechdave: yeah i have a TFTP server setup, so it transfers the files and all...
[03:17] <Centaur5> CodemasterMM: Are you doing this PXE install from Hardy?
[03:17] <CodemasterMM> yes
[03:17] <CodemasterMM> er
[03:17] <CodemasterMM> WinXP booting a Ubuntu net install
[03:17] <CodemasterMM> WinXP hosting a TFTP
[03:17] <Centaur5> CodemasterMM: Are you using xinetd or inetd-utils?
[03:17] <syke> hi
[03:17] <osxdude> dang it.
[03:17] <syke> does anyone know if there are hardy packages for kde 4.1 beta 1?
[03:17] <CodemasterMM> Centaur5: so it's WinXP sending out Hardy, basically
[03:17] <osxdude> thanks anyway, tritium
[03:17] <tritium> osxdude: perhaps fbi
[03:17]  * zcat[1] managed to get hardy installed PXE on a bunch of compaq blades here, but it was a total fluke.. no idea what I was doing really :)
[03:17] <[gquit]bombadil> Cracker_Jax_: what command are you using?
[03:17] <osxdude> oh, really?
[03:18] <osxdude> lemme see.
[03:18] <Centaur5> CodemasterMM: Oh sorry, I've never done it that way.
[03:18] <CodemasterMM> should be similar, if not the same
[03:18] <osxdude> Installing.
[03:18] <tell> bri-h: can you tell me what 'version' it says in output of this?    modinfo iwl3945
[03:18] <CodemasterMM> seems like it might not be sending files over...... or something
[03:18] <Sonja> sometimes Flash is just a grey box, and I have to close and restart Firefox to get the Flash to work
[03:18] <CodemasterMM> seems ubuntu forums doesn't have anything on this either
[03:19] <berkelep> how do i see a list of groups a user is in?
[03:19] <Centaur5> CodemasterMM: Well I was just going to say it could be a new package that you need in Hardy vs. Feisty but that doesn't apply to you.
[03:19] <Steve-cal> Cracker_Jax_: Try this:
[03:19] <Steve-cal> gnome-terminal -e 'mycommand; read -n1'
[03:19] <CodemasterMM> ah
[03:19] <Steve-cal> And replace mycommand with your command
[03:19] <zcat[1]> Umm yeah, make sure tftpd can read all the files that it's going to try serving... check permissions and ownership
[03:19] <bri-h> tell version is 1.2.0
[03:19] <jc___> can apport be configured to ignore some programs?
[03:20] <zcat[1]> and/or check the logs and see if the server is requesting something other than what/where you were expecting it to look for it
[03:20] <tell> bri-h: hm ok thanks.  I have 1.2.25.  what kernel version are you running?  ( uname -a )
[03:20] <osxdude> my lag is apperently "2.61"
[03:20] <bri-h> tell 24-16
[03:20] <mechdave> CodemasterMM, why don't you just enable the net boot on your card in BIOS?
[03:21] <james__> hello
[03:21] <zcat[1]> mechdave: PXE is 'net boot' ?!!
[03:21] <bri-h> tell 24-16 generic #1 smp
[03:21] <osxdude> Yes, zcat[1]
[03:21] <tell> bri-h: same here... hmm
[03:21] <mechdave> zcat[1], I know, but CodemasterMM mentioned he was trying to do it through XP
[03:21] <bri-h> tell: I just updated too
[03:21] <zcat[1]> ahhh, ok. weird.
[03:22] <james__> zcat[1] PXE is Pixy
[03:22] <bri-h> tell: what's problem
[03:22] <james__> not net boot
[03:22] <james__> lol
[03:22] <tell> bri-h: just never connects
[03:22] <mechdave> CodemasterMM, You have a DHCP server set up along with the TFTP server?
[03:22] <zcat[1]> what other kinds of network booting are there? PXE is basically it afaik
[03:22] <bri-h> tell: what's ifconfig say?
[03:23] <owen1> I don't want gdm to show on start up. how do i cancel it?
[03:23] <trident523> owen1: What login thing would you want?
[03:23] <mechdave> CodemasterMM, You have a DHCP server set up along with the TFTP server?
[03:23] <zcat[1]> owen1: You want no GUI at all, or automatic login and no username/password ?
[03:23] <tell> bri-h: in dmesg I get "privacy configuration mismatch and mixed-cell disabled - disassociate"
[03:23] <james__> can someone tell me what some of the better media programs are available under Ubuntu?
[03:23] <owen1> trident523: zcat[1]  maybe just command line login?
[03:24] <tritium> owen1: http://qref.sourceforge.net/Debian/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-no-x-start
[03:24] <tell> bri-h: wlan0 exists has some TX packets, but RX = 0
[03:24] <zcat[1]> owen1: sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/S20gdm
[03:24] <bri-h> tell: did you google that error msg?
[03:24] <tritium> owen1: the first method is the debian/ubuntu way
[03:25] <j1solutions> james__: me likes VLC
[03:25] <tritium> zcat[1]: http://qref.sourceforge.net/Debian/reference/ch-tips.en.html#s-no-x-start (see the first method)
[03:25] <zcat[1]> I think it's S20 .. S??gdm will get it
[03:25] <james__> jlsolutions: what are some of the features that I might like?
[03:25] <owen1> tritium: does it mean no x?
[03:25] <arthur37854> FREEDOME
[03:25] <tritium> owen1: it means no graphical login
[03:26] <|WorldWorld|> which is the best im
[03:26] <zcat[1]> It's S30gdm
[03:26] <owen1> tritium: great!
[03:26] <j1solutions> james__:plays anything, has a plain/simple interface
[03:26] <zcat[1]> owen1: Easiest answer: "sudo rm /etc/rc2.d/S???dm"
[03:26] <tritium> owen1: I'd advise against removing files
[03:26] <Flannel> !bum | owen1
[03:26] <j1solutions> james__: also will install on horrid windows machines if you are forced to used one of those someday
[03:26] <zcat[1]> tritium: they're not files, they're links
[03:26] <akk> james__: I'll vote for vlc too
[03:26] <owen1> zcat[1]: tritium it's scary. what is this file?
[03:26] <tell> bri-h: yeah
[03:26] <tritium> zcat[1]: links, then.  Debian/Ubunty method is preferred
[03:27] <james__> jlsolutions: does it work with .wma?
[03:27] <zcat[1]> owen1: Or install bum and turn it off that way...
[03:27] <arthur37854> %echo "usr/local/bin"
[03:27] <j1solutions> james__:i believe it will if they are not DRM'ed
[03:27] <|WorldWorld|> can any one tell me how to play movies in ubuntu 8
[03:27] <james__> jlsolutions: yuck
[03:27] <james__> jlsolutions: I want a DRM stripper for the junk I've purchased
[03:28] <arthur37854> and there is no place like <IP_ADDRESS>
[03:28] <sam_> Hello everyone :)
[03:28] <bri-h> tell: how about iwconfig essid youressid key yourkey
[03:28] <zcat[1]> arthur37854: or ~
[03:28] <james__> arthur37854: that's old
[03:28] <j1solutions> james__: i'm thinking there is stuff to convert to .wav and then to .mp3 or something, not sure
[03:28] <owen1> tritium: and with commmand line login, how do i choose the DE/WM
[03:28] <|WorldWorld|> can any one tell me how to play movies in ubuntu 8?
[03:29] <arthur37854> what about startx?
[03:29] <RAdams> howdy. I've got a webcam here, a dynex. It doesn't match the list of microdia cams (at least, the list I saw). It works flawlessly in progs like Cheese, Skype, etc. But it fails every time in flash-based webcam environments (www.stickam.com, for example)
[03:29] <bri-h> tell: sorry left out wlan0 after iwconfig
[03:29] <james__> jlsolutions: any suggestions for mpeg2/3 codecs?
[03:29] <tritium> owen1: in your ~/.xsession (I never disable the DM)
[03:29] <j1solutions> james__ : have you heard of medibuntu.org?
[03:29] <james__> jlsolutions: no, but i have now
[03:29] <zcat[1]> !codecs | |WorldWorld|
[03:29] <RAdams> |WorldWorld|: not to be annoying, but it's Ubuntu 8.04. It's actually the 7th official Ubuntu release :o and what kind of videos are you trying to play?
[03:29] <CodemasterM1> Centaur5: well, if this helps, it seems to grab initd.gz and then it just sits there... with a blinking cursor, doing thing
[03:30] <owen1> tritium: what is a DM and why u never disable it?
[03:30] <Sonja> sometimes Flash is just a grey box, and I have to close and restart Firefox to get the Flash to work
[03:30] <j1solutions> james__: what version of Ubuntu are you running?
[03:30] <lnar> hey does anyone know a program similar to funny voice for linux???
[03:30] <james__> jlsolutions, actually, I want to do my media stuff on PC linux, Geexbox, or Dreamlinux
[03:30] <tritium> owen1: display manager (such as gdm), which is what you're trying to disable.  Why would I want to?
[03:30] <zcat[1]> !medibuntu | |WorldWorld|
[03:30] <james__> jlsolutions Hardy
[03:30] <RAdams> I've got a webcam here, a dynex. It doesn't match the list of microdia cams (at least, the list I saw). It works flawlessly in progs like Cheese, Skype, etc. But it fails every time in flash-based webcam environments (www.stickam.com, for example). Any ideas?
[03:30] <owen1> tritium: speed?
[03:30] <bri-h> tell: this worked for me when I was having trouble - iwconfig wlan0 essid myessid key mykey
[03:31] <tritium> owen1: no, not an issue
[03:31] <|WorldWorld|> Thanks Adams I want to play vcds and dvds and avi files etc
[03:31] <lnar> does any one know a program similar to funny voice for linux??
[03:31] <zcat[1]> |WorldWorld|: you want to look at that medibuntu link then
[03:31] <owen1> tritium: ok. so just leave it as it is?
[03:31] <SJrX> I get /dev/dsp busy when trying to use VMWare, what do I need to do? I looked on the forums but it says something about esound but I'm under the impression that this is not correct
[03:31] <j1solutions> james__: ok, under hardy i issues with adding the medibuntu gpg key, but i got around it somehow
[03:31] <james__> hmm
[03:31] <RAdams> |WorldWOrld|: Totem is pretty user friendly and good for that. It will try to find codecs for files it can't play. If it can't find the codec, check medibuntu.org
[03:31] <j1solutions> james__: but check it out
[03:31] <shazzam> i ran live cd on my visat which has core 2 dua and nvidia geforce 8400 and still no 3d effects of compiz
[03:31] <james__> will do
[03:32] <tritium> owen1: that's up to you.  You were asking about me.
[03:32] <owen1> tritium: what gdm do u use?
[03:32] <shazzam> it said cool effects cudnt be applied to desktop
[03:32] <tritium> owen1: gdm
[03:32] <james__> shazzam: do you know how to enable visual effects, and start compiz?
[03:32] <shazzam> under synaptics it said compiz was already loaded
[03:33] <CodemasterM1> ok
[03:33] <RAdams> shazzam: installed does not equal started
[03:33] <CodemasterM1> seems this is piece of junk PXE
[03:33] <james__> shazzam: that doesn't mean it's running
[03:33] <CodemasterM1> i'll just have to wait for ubuntu CDs later on
[03:33] <shazzam> oh? wat do i do
[03:33] <tritium> shazzam: as we told you it would be
[03:33] <james__> shazzam: hold on
[03:33] <shazzam> so how do i start it?
[03:33] <shazzam> ok
[03:33] <james__> hold on
[03:33] <RAdams> I've got a webcam here, a dynex. It doesn't match the list of microdia cams (at least, the list I saw). It works flawlessly in progs like Cheese, Skype, etc. But it fails every time in flash-based webcam environments (www.stickam.com, for example). Any ideas?
[03:34] <zcat[1]> shazzam: if it said it can't be started that's probably because you don't have 3d drivers enabled yet..
[03:34] <tel1> bri-h: hm doing that alone didn't work (routes weren't set up?) but doing that while Network Manager was trying to connect did it!
[03:34] <james__> zcat: good call
[03:35] <shazzam> i went into appearances and selected special effects and it said it cudnt be applied
[03:35] <tel1> bri-h: so, thanks!
[03:35] <james__> shazzam: what's the model of your computer?
[03:35] <IndyGunFreak> and thats because his graphics drivers aren't set up
[03:35] <shazzam> dell vostro
[03:35] <shazzam> its a good laptop
[03:35] <shazzam> runs fast
[03:35] <shazzam> had nvidia geforce 8400
[03:35] <shazzam> had core 2 duo
[03:35] <tritium> shazzam: please, don't use the enter key for punctuation
[03:36] <zcat[1]> go to restricted drivers manager (system > admin > hardware drivers) and see if there are any drivers you could install
[03:36] <Tyrant91101> what is the correct grub configuration for booting ubuntu?
[03:36] <bri-h> tell: network manager seems buggy in hardy
[03:36] <bri-h> tell: command line always seems to work
[03:36] <shazzam> ok so i go to hardware drivers and install wat...
[03:36] <Tyrant91101> i installed mandriva nad its grub replaced ubuntu's and now it wont boot properly
[03:36] <zcat[1]> shazzam: go to restricted drivers manager (system > admin > hardware drivers) and see if there are any drivers you could install but this probably won't work on a live CD boot, you need to do some kind of install, wubi perhaps)
[03:36] <tritium> shazzam: no, there is no package called "wat"
[03:37] <shazzam> hehe
[03:37] <james__> shazzam: do you know if you have an Intel graphics card, or what kind it is?
[03:37] <zcat[1]> shazzam: Well, you have an nvidia card, hardware drivers should suggest installing the nvidia drivers.
[03:37] <osxdude> Hmmm...
[03:37] <j1solutions> Tyrant91101: don't do that again
[03:37] <shazzam> itsan nvidia?
[03:37] <shazzam> ok ill go see...
[03:38] <osxdude> Anyone know how to get to the 7.10 Screen Prefrences in 8.04?
[03:38] <james__> no lie
[03:38] <shazzam> be back in a litle
[03:38] <tritium> osxdude: that makes no sense
[03:38] <Tyrant91101> j1solutions: hmm?
[03:38] <sam_> So, I have a similar problem with shazzam, although my graphic card happens to be an ATi something, but it supports 3-D
[03:38] <RAdams> !GRUB | Tyrant91101
[03:38] <zcat[1]> BUT since nvidia drivers will require a reboot, it won't work off the live CD..
[03:38] <tritium> osxdude: did fbi work for you?
[03:38] <osxdude> tritium: no.
[03:39] <tritium> osxdude: what happened?
[03:39] <mechdave> Hi all, this could well be OT but no one else seems to want to answer, does anyone know how to get Evolution to request reciepts?
[03:39] <sam_> hmm
[03:39] <sam_> no response :(
[03:39] <tritium> mechdave: it's in the preferences
[03:39] <osxdude> It just said that /dev/fb0 doesn't exist
[03:39] <tritium> osxdude: you have to use the framebuffer
[03:40] <mechdave> tritium, I found send reciepts but not request reciepts
[03:40] <osxdude> ah.
[03:40] <osxdude> well, I need to run it without X.
[03:40] <osxdude> at all.
[03:40] <osxdude> meh.
[03:40] <tritium> osxdude: framebuffer is not X
[03:41] <osxdude> oh
[03:41] <osxdude> well...
[03:41] <tritium> !enter | osxdude
[03:41] <osxdude> see, I'm trying to get dual screens working, but apperently it isn't working right.
[03:41] <osxdude> lemme check the xorg log
[03:42] <RAdams> mechdave: Composer Preferences --> Always Request Read Receipt
[03:42] <tritium> *sigh*
[03:42] <RAdams> tritium: lol ~_~
[03:42] <arm-c> Hello
[03:42] <osxdude> rofl
[03:43] <RAdams> I've got a webcam here, a dynex. It doesn't match the list of microdia cams (at least, the list I saw). It works flawlessly in progs like Cheese, Skype, etc. But it fails every time in flash-based webcam environments (www.stickam.com, for example). Any ideas?
[03:43] <arm-c> I am looking for someone to point me in the right direction to solve a couple of Ubuntu issues.  The first one is: Video in Terminals 1 - 6 corrupt
[03:43] <RAdams> arm-c: define corrupt
[03:43] <zcat[1]> do webcams even work in flash yet? I never thought to try it
[03:44] <RAdams> zcat[1]: yes. my logitech works just fine
[03:44] <osxdude> damn it.
[03:44] <arm-c> The text is unreadable AND large in the other terminals besides 1 and the GUI
[03:44] <spec_> Heya...I just upgraded to Hardy, and I'm on a Dell M1530...my touchpad mouse isn't working, and I've tried appending "i8042.nomux=1" to my kernel boot line, like the bug report says to.
[03:44] <RAdams> arm-c: widescreen monitor, using DVI or a laptop?
[03:44] <osxdude> Ok. I need help getting to the Screens and Graphics prefrences from 7.10 in 8.04
[03:44] <arm-c> Terminal 1 is still LARGE and doesn't all fit on the window.
[03:44] <arm-c> Laptop...
[03:45] <RAdams> arm-c: widescreen?
[03:45] <arm-c> 1024x768
[03:45] <arm-c> Never had problem before
[03:45] <tritium> osxdude: again, that makes no sense.
[03:45] <mechdave> RAdams, not there
[03:45] <RAdams> arm-c: hmmm... that's odd... >.<
[03:45] <arm-c> Have been a user since about a year ago.
[03:45] <sam_> Question regarding ATi graphic cards.  So, I installed the driver for ATi using the hardware driver, restarted and all.  But, whenever I try selecting a theme in emerald and running emerald --replace, the screen turns all white.
[03:45] <RAdams> mechdave: definitely there, because I'm lookign at it. Version of evolution?
[03:45] <osxdude> ugh.
[03:46] <osxdude> well, in System > Prefrences > Administratoin in 7.10 there was a "Screens and Graphics" prefrences. I want to access it.
[03:46] <tritium> osxdude: System -> Preferences -> Screen Resolution
[03:46] <osxdude> ...
[03:47] <osxdude> I know.
[03:47] <osxdude> I'm looking for the exact same precfence panel, but from 8.04
[03:47] <tritium> !enter | osxdude (again)
[03:48] <joe_> neener
[03:48] <osxdude> Oh.
[03:48] <RAdams> osxdude: I'm in 8.04. It's System --> Preferences --> Screen Resolution. If you don't see it, edit your menu and make sure it's checked
[03:48] <Elad-3> hello all
[03:48] <Elad-3> why there is no 'skype' package on the apt-get ?
[03:49] <deuryte> where is my documents in windows 2k ??
[03:49] <tritium> deuryte: wrong channel
[03:49] <osxdude> Well....what I mean I want the prefrence panel that shows up when X fails to show up. That's what I want.
[03:49] <deuryte> he he he
[03:49] <zcat[1]> Elad-3: 'cos skype is non-free
[03:49] <binarymutant> is there a way to get 'wget -i' to download like 3 files at a time?
[03:49] <mechdave> RAdams, 2.12.1
[03:49] <osxdude> binarymutant: use 3 terminal windows :)
[03:49] <zcat[1]> Elad-3: I think it's in medibuntu or perhaps cafuego
[03:49] <binarymutant> osxdude: any other way I can do it in the same process?
[03:49] <Elad-3> zcat[1], so I'll need to configure it ?
[03:50] <Onyx> huh?
[03:50] <deuryte> tritium: which is better  open office in ubuntu or  kopffice ??
[03:50] <n8k99> Serv identify <differently>
[03:50] <deuryte> koffice
[03:50] <zcat[1]> Elad-3: yeah
[03:50] <tritium> deuryte: that's personal preference
[03:50] <osxdude> I don't believe so, binarymutant
[03:50] <zcat[1]> !info skype
[03:50] <binarymutant> :( ty
[03:50] <zcat[1]> !skype
[03:50] <slowlearner> binarymutant: append &
[03:50] <deuryte> tritium: im a newbee,  can you help me with posix explanation ??
[03:50] <Elad-3> zcat[1], ohh I fount a .deb package on they site (for ubuntu)
[03:51] <lab34> someone speek french
[03:51] <tritium> lab34: no, this is an English channel
[03:51] <arm-c> osxdude:  That option window has been moved to other under the gnome menu.  It is usally hidden, so edit menus and make the "other" menu visible.  Also may have to turn on in the "other menu."
[03:51] <tritium> deuryte: what is your question?
[03:51] <binarymutant> slowlearner: whats that?
[03:51] <deuryte> tritium:  what exactly is posix for ??
[03:51] <Poprocks> koffice 2.0 (qt4) looks like it has promise, but let's face it, in an MSOffice-dominated world, OpenOffice.org is much more comprehensive and seems to handle word documents better
[03:51] <Rat409> !fr | lab34
[03:51] <slowlearner> binarymutant: wget link &
[03:52] <tritium> deuryte: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/POSIX
[03:52] <arm-c> radams:  Any suggestions?
[03:52] <Poprocks> koffice is nice and fast though.
[03:52] <binarymutant> slowlearner: do you know a way to do it in just one process?
[03:52] <slowlearner> binarymutant: so that, the wget's run as background processes
[03:52] <deuryte> tritium: is ubuntu posix  conformant ??
[03:52] <osxdude> anyone say anything to me?
[03:52] <osxdude> lol
[03:53] <neil_d> Is there a software way to simulate a USB device being unpluged and then pluged back in ?
[03:53] <osxdude> ok. i'mma go hunting
[03:53] <tritium> !properenglish | osxdude
[03:53] <Elad-3> someone can tell me please that is mean hardy version?
[03:53] <slowlearner> binarymutant:  do you want to download everything at the same time? or one at a time?
[03:53] <Elad-3> and what the all ubuntu version?
[03:53] <tritium> Elad-3: hardy is ubuntu 8.04, the latest stable release
[03:54] <alan_m> !hardy | Elad-3
[03:54] <Elad-3> tritium, there is any unstable version? more updates?
[03:55] <Elad-3> like debian - debian stable, unstable-sid
[03:55] <tritium> Elad-3: no, ubuntu isn't organized like debian
[03:55] <alan_m> just giving you more info, probably overkilled your help tritium but figured i could give a little more info.
[03:55] <Elad-3> tritium, ohh I see..
[03:55] <tritium> alan_m: :)
[03:55] <Elad-3> tritium, thanks ;)
[03:55] <osxdude> Ok, anyone open for help?
[03:55] <alan_m> osxdude, we all are I think.
[03:55] <neil_d> Elad-3: new one every 6 months.
[03:56] <osxdude> ok.
[03:56] <Rat409> !ask | osxdude
[03:56] <alan_m> P.S. Next time, dont ask if were open for help, just state your question...
[03:56] <Elad-3> neil_d, ohh.. and when the new will release ?
[03:56] <tritium> Elad-3: every 6 months, so in October
[03:57] <Elad-3> tritium, and ubuntu will support 8.04 for how long?
[03:57] <arm-c> Anyone able to give provide me assistance for why my terminals 1-6 are corrupt -- large text and unreadable.
[03:57] <alan_m> at least 18 months Elad-3
[03:57] <tritium> !lts | Elad-3
[03:57] <neil_d> Elad-3: 8.04  means it was release in the 4th month of 08.
[03:57] <Elad-3> ohh I see...
[03:58] <tritium> Elad-3: 18 months on normal releases, 3 years on LTS releases (which hardy is)
[03:58] <Elad-3> and when they will release a new version, I'll be able to upgrade, and then get more support right?
[03:58] <tritium> Yes, Elad-3.
[03:58] <Elad-3> oh cool
[03:58] <alan_m> yeah, what tritium said...hence my "at least" portion. :)
[03:58] <Elad-3> thanks guys :)
[03:58] <alan_m> Welcome buddy!
[03:58] <neil_d> Elad-3: ok
[03:59] <alan_m> Need anything else while your here just ask :)
[03:59] <kramer3d> hey guys i am trying to install ubuntu 7.04 on my desktop
[03:59] <osxdude> alright
[03:59] <osxdude> i've had enough fun.
[03:59] <kramer3d> but it says failed to start X server during installation
[03:59] <kramer3d> what do I do??
[03:59] <osxdude> whoa. ubuntu exploded.
[04:00] <alan_m> "exploded" osxdude ?
[04:00] <paradoxpenguin> Hi all! I am trying write an init.d script in Hardy that mounts CIFS shares on startup (runlevel 2345) and unmount them on shutdown (runlevel 016).  I have the startup sequence set to 99 and shutdown sequence to 1 (trying to mount last on startup and unmount first on shutdown) -- but it never mounts because networking doesn't seem to be up until AFTER the script runs and so it errors out.  Anybody suggest anything?
[04:00] <osxdude> meh, I had it set to output to the external monitor, then I went to tty1.
[04:00] <osxdude> when I went back to the tty:X, it was all messed up
[04:01] <arm-c> exit
[04:01] <alan_m> arm-c, your trying to exit out of your IRC client? nevermind :)
[04:01] <kramer3d> can anyone help me?
[04:01] <neil_d> kramer3d: You could try to reconfigure X with "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" from a terminal
[04:01] <Beatbreaker> hi - i've got no internet in the terminal - here's a summary http://pastebin.com/d21539723
[04:01] <Elad-3> someone can help me with change key lang, it change the lang, but the scroll led is off.. why is that?
[04:02] <alan_m> kramer3d, whats the issue your having?
[04:02] <alan_m> oh wait
[04:02] <alan_m> nevermind kramer :)
[04:02] <clever> !antivirus
[04:02] <alan_m> I see :)
[04:02] <xodiak> compiz is dead. How do I uninstall compiz?
[04:02] <Elad-3> and I configure it to make the scroll led on
[04:02] <clever> !linuxvirus
[04:02] <Elad-3> xodiak, apt-get remove compiz?
[04:02] <IndyGunFreak> kramer3d: also, why ar eyou installing 7.04?  its ancient at this point.
[04:02] <|WorldWorld|> hi, can anyone suggest a list of best programmes for ubuntu 8.04
[04:02] <bitumen2003> lol
[04:02] <kramer3d> IndyGunFreak: thats not that point
[04:03] <IndyGunFreak> kramer3d: i didn't ask you what the point was, it was a question
[04:03] <kramer3d> alan_m: neil_d it says no screens found
[04:03] <xodiak> thanks
[04:03] <alan_m> hrrrmmm...
[04:03] <kramer3d> I had this problem before, i have an integrated graphics card and an nvidia card but the integrated card has not been disabled in the bios
[04:04] <kramer3d> i tried to disable it before but it just doesnt work for some reason
[04:04] <Elad-3> anyone? (the scroll led didnt work when I switch lang)
[04:04] <kramer3d> anywho neil_d how do i get to the terminal?
[04:05] <Elad-3> and another question please, some one are using icq-sim for icq client?
[04:05] <osxdude|laptop> ok.
[04:05] <neil_d> kramer3d: <ctrl><alt><f1> will do
[04:05] <osxdude|laptop> i'm back, apperently.
[04:05] <kramer3d> ok thanks
[04:05] <osxdude|laptop> wait...
[04:05]  * tritium wonders what is so hard about !enter for osxdude|laptop to remember
[04:05] <osxdude|laptop> !enter
[04:05] <paradoxpenguin> Can anybody help with getting a CIFS share mounting script to run at startup?
[04:06] <osxdude|laptop> I should try. heh.
[04:06]  * alan_m contemplates botabuse then backs off :)
[04:06] <osxdude|laptop> dang it, xchat won't connect to ONE network. restart!
[04:07] <|WorldWorld|> any links for best ubuntu 8.04 software to install please?
[04:07] <jordan> www.ubuntu.com ?
[04:07] <zcat[1]> |WorldWorld|: http://www.howtoforge.com/the-perfect-desktop-ubuntu-8.04-lts-hardy-heron
[04:08] <tritium> |WorldWorld|: it depends on what type of software you need, of course.
[04:08] <alan_m> jordan, thats the main ubuntu website, yeah :)
[04:08] <IndyGunFreak> |WorldWorld|: well what do you want to do?
[04:08] <zcat[1]> that article has some good sugestions of stuff you might like
[04:08] <Elad-3> someone can recommend me a nice icq client?
[04:09] <|WorldWorld|> thanks zcat
[04:09] <zcat[1]> Elad-3: pidgin isn't too bad
[04:09] <|WorldWorld|> Indy have just installed on a new system, wanna some idea
[04:09] <neil_d> Elad-3: I like xchat
[04:09] <Elad-3> zcat[1], only using it for msn, for icq it's not very cool
[04:09] <zcat[1]> xchat does ICQ ?
[04:09] <Elad-3> neil_d, me too, but my friend didnt.. :(
[04:10] <bobsomebody> i seem to have an uncanny abilty to find every possible rock and hard place to end up with....
[04:10] <paradoxpenguin> :(
[04:10] <IndyGunFreak> |WorldWorld|: well what do you n eed to do.. i can tell you all sorts of crap to install, but if you have no use for the,m whats the point.
[04:10] <bobsomebody> is it really this complicated to get dual screen linux and non laggy synergy? lol
[04:10] <Zaiden> In Hardy, is it possible to switch PulseAudio with ESD?
[04:11] <shazzam> ok so aparently u cant use the 3d effects if u run it off live cd... because the graphics require a restart and that just defeats the whole thing
[04:11] <IndyGunFreak> bobsomebody: whats your graphics device?... dual screens works fine for me.
[04:11] <shazzam> so... wat shud i do?
[04:11] <zcat[1]> shazzam: I think I mentioned that almost an hour ago?
[04:11] <shazzam> im afraid to install ubuntu and lose windows cuz wat if i dot like it?
[04:11] <shazzam> yeah i was busy
[04:11] <bobsomebody> IndyGunFreak, I used an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> bobsomebody: thats the problem..
[04:12] <bobsomebody> and XFX GeForce 8400 GS
[04:12] <dmsuperman> shazzam, Run the LiveCD, it will give you a full ubuntu desktop without modifying yoursystem at all
[04:12] <bobsomebody> one at a time
[04:12] <nadjavox> does anyone know how to find out how my hardware is being recognized by ubuntu?
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> nvidia, dual screens is gravy
[04:12] <haris2> hey somebody help me to run a  cpp program in ubuntu 8.04. i tried with gcc <filename> but following error is displayed....."gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory"
[04:12] <bobsomebody> nvidia fails to install properly
[04:12] <zcat[1]> shazzam: put the disk in in Windows and do a wubi install.. turn off any AV software first tho 'cos it reads the CD into an ISO image and trying to scan a 700M file seems to bother most AV software
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> how so?
[04:12] <bobsomebody> it crashes 1/2 wy through
[04:12] <xodiak> my ati isn't installing all that great.
[04:12] <dmsuperman> shazzam, or, if you want to get even more into it, you could resize your partition and put windows and ubuntu  and dualboot
[04:12] <bobsomebody> right after i set the screen settings *im resorting to alt install right now
[04:13] <bobsomebody> i have the nvidia in
[04:13] <xodiak> bobsomebody: have you tried EnvyNG?
[04:13] <dmsuperman> shazzam, or what zcat[1]  said, but I haven't had anything but problems with wubi
[04:13] <dmsuperman> then again I could just unlucky
[04:13] <bobsomebody> xodiak, eh?
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> bobsomebody: is the nvidia card a dualhead card?..
[04:13] <bobsomebody> nvidia dual head card
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> xodiak: envyng isn't necessary for what he wants to do.
[04:13] <xodiak> shazzam: I did a dual boot and it was pretty easy and worked pretty good.
[04:13] <shazzam> installing it on windows... it doesnt need to partition?
[04:13] <lnar> does any one know some software that can change voice like funny voice?
[04:13] <zcat[1]> wubi is pretty broken still, I think.. I got it working first time but I've heard plenty of ppl complaining about it
[04:14] <dmsuperman> shazzam, no, it just sort of dual boots using windows own boot manager
[04:14] <xodiak> Gotcha. I'm too new to recommend anything anyway. :)
[04:14] <AaronH> lnar, audacity
[04:14] <shazzam> how much room does dual boot take?
[04:14] <dmsuperman> shazzam, i advise against it, it's not difficult just to partition. if you don't like it, delete the partition and add the space back to your windows partition
[04:14] <bobsomebody> the best result i had so far was the ATI card with 8.04, but synergy bugs out and would require a complete rebuild with a modified source
[04:14] <bobsomebody> which is WAY beyond me lol
[04:14] <dmsuperman> shazzam, however much room you want. I made it 20GB for ubuntu, 4GB for swap, but that's well beyond what's needed
[04:14] <kramer3d> how do i gain root access in terminal?
[04:15] <bobsomebody> (talking about the os)
[04:15] <Starnestommy> kramer3d: sudo
[04:15] <kramer3d> kk
[04:15] <shazzam> see i never partitioned so i dont know about these things...
[04:15] <tritium> kramer3d: sudo -i will give you the equivalent
[04:15] <bobsomebody> kramer3d, sudo su
[04:15] <shazzam> wats the swap?
[04:15] <zcat[1]> shazzam: wubi makes a big file in windows with all the stuff ubuntu needs to boot, then launches the kernel from windows boot manager.. you can completely remove it again if you don't like it.
[04:15] <tritium> kramer3d, bobsomebody: sudo su is not recommended
[04:15] <AaronH> kramer3d, use "sudo" or to have root prompt use "sudo -s"
[04:15] <xodiak> shazzam: I set up a 16 GB ubuntu and 4GB for swap.
[04:15] <bobsomebody> oh
[04:15] <dmsuperman> shazzam, swap is just virtual memory area, basically overflow for when your memory runs out
[04:15] <haris2> hey somebody help me to run a  cpp program in ubuntu 8.04. i tried with gcc <filename> but following error is displayed....."gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1plus': execvp: No such file or directory"
[04:16] <shazzam> i see... right now my windows doesnt even have that..
[04:16] <dmsuperman> shazzam, it's very easy to do, and there's not much risk of losing data in any case
[04:16] <shazzam> so it uses hard drive memory as ram?
[04:16] <tritium> haris2: you need to install build-essential first
[04:16] <Starnestommy> shazzam: yes
[04:16] <dmsuperman> shazzam, it's a linux thing. in windows it's called "virtual memory" or a "pagefile"
[04:16] <bobsomebody> IndyGunFreak, im @ the x server video modes in alt install setting it to 1280x1024, lets hope it works this time
[04:16] <dmsuperman> shazzam, i'm sure you have it enabled
[04:16] <tritium> shazzam: swap is also used if you hibernate, such as with a laptop
[04:16] <bobsomebody> it looks like its getting the right data from the card with the res's available
[04:16] <zcat[1]> I wound't bother with more than 20G for a wubi install.. if you end up doing anything more than just seeing what ubuntu is like, you really need to do a proper install..
[04:16] <haris2> tritium:how do i do it.....?
[04:16] <IndyGunFreak> bobsomebody: server video modes?
[04:16] <tritium> haris2: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:16] <shazzam> ok and am i ablet o access files on my drive from ubuntu? or only files put in in ubuntu?
[04:16] <tom_> Hi guys.  Having a problem wit hibernating.. hibernate, and uswsusp(s2disk) both result in funky menus.  Can anyone check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5036080#post5036080 if you get a second?  I provided a screenshot.. thanks!
[04:17] <xodiak> Any ATI video experts around tonight?
[04:17] <bobsomebody> IndyGunFreak, X server
[04:17] <bobsomebody> ie screen res
[04:17] <dmsuperman> shazzam, and it's even better than windows. Windows will use your hard drive as ram, regardless of if it needs to or not. linux swap only uses it when it must (which is good for hard drive life)
[04:17] <dmsuperman> shazzam, you can see all files
[04:17] <bobsomebody> this is where it boned out on me last time
[04:17] <IndyGunFreak> bobsomebody: oh, did you reconfigure x?
[04:17] <bobsomebody> no
[04:17] <bobsomebody> this is just a reinstall
[04:17] <bobsomebody> i had both screens plugged in last time
[04:17] <dmsuperman> shazzam, you may have to change 1 line in a single text file to be able to modify files from windows, but that's easy
[04:17] <tritium> !enter | bobsomebody
[04:17] <IndyGunFreak> hmm, doesn't make much sense.. i've never done that.
[04:17] <bobsomebody> i vaugly remember 8.04 throwing a fit about it
[04:17] <shazzam> iso wat is partitioning for? is it like formating only a part of the drive for ubuntu?
[04:18] <dmsuperman> shazzam, basically, you'll edit /etc/fstab and replace "ntfs" with "ntfs-3g" then run a command to remount, then you can modify
[04:18] <tritium> shazzam: the word is "what", not "wat"
[04:18] <bobsomebody> tritium, sorry
[04:18] <dmsuperman> shazzam, partitioning is dividing a drive
[04:18] <hexoroid> is there apt-get flash player for linux ? trying to play youtubes.
[04:18] <Starnestommy> hexoroid: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[04:18] <shazzam> y must i divide it? y cant they share the stuff?
[04:18] <dmsuperman> shazzam, your drive right now probably has a single partition. think of a drive as a drawer, and a partition as a folder. right now, you have 1 folder that fills the whole drawer
[04:18] <shazzam> im just trying to leanr...
[04:18] <dmsuperman> shazzam, windows sits in that folder
[04:18] <Ahadiel> hexoroid, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[04:18] <shazzam> learn..
[04:18] <Starnestommy> shazzam: it's because windows and linux work very differently
[04:18] <hexoroid> whats a non-free for ?
[04:19] <dmsuperman> shazzam, to install ubuntu, without modifying windows or anything else, you take some room away from that folder and make another folder for ubuntu
[04:19] <Starnestommy> hexoroid: it's free as in price, but it's proprietary
[04:19] <shazzam> but they both can acces the ame files... like .avi or .whatever..
[04:19] <tritium> hexoroid: it downloads a binary-only file (no free source) from adobe
[04:19] <hexoroid> oh ok
[04:19] <hexoroid> thanks
[04:19] <shazzam> same... my keys are having issues typing the letters!
[04:20] <lnar> does any one know some software that can change voice like funny voice? AUDACITY NEEDS TO RECORD THE VOICE FIRST... I NEED SOMETHING LIKE FUNNY VOICE
[04:20] <dmsuperman> shazzam, correct. as I said above, it may take a quick edit to a single file to be able to, but once you do it works flawlessly
[04:20] <shazzam> but they both can acces the same files... like .avi or .whatever..
[04:20] <dmsuperman> shazzam, correct. I have windows and ubuntu on my machine. My MP3s can be read in both operating systems the exact same
[04:20] <dmsuperman> shazzam, there's no worries about that
[04:20] <zcat[1]> lnar: let me know when you find it... I've been looking and never found anything like that
[04:20] <Starnestommy> shazzam: that's because of applications made to access those files.  Windows itself doesn't know how to read those files and neitherdoes Linux
[04:20] <Starnestommy> *neither does
[04:21] <alan_m> zcat, they can always make it but thats way off topic lol
[04:21] <xodiak> dmsuperman: so you're saying I can (or should be able to) read my xp harddrive when I'm in Ubuntu?
[04:21] <dmsuperman> xodiak, absolutely
[04:21] <J-a-K-e> hi all, does anyone know what to edit in /boot to sort out my grub problems?
[04:21] <bobsomebody> yeah it looks like this thing has completely locked up on Select and install software right @ 6%....
[04:21] <shazzam> i c...somewhat...
[04:21] <dmsuperman> xodiak, are you not able to?
[04:21] <Starnestommy> J-a-K-e: /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:21] <xodiak> dmsuperman: Is there an easy way to set this up?
[04:21] <shazzam> so how much shoud i partition for now?
[04:21] <dmsuperman> shazzam, really the best way to learn about it is to just install ubuntu and play with it
[04:21] <shazzam> cna i always change the amount?
[04:21] <zcat[1]> perhaps freqtweak ?
[04:21] <hexoroid> my comp sucks its an old box hardly plays videos sort of laggs lol
[04:22] <xodiak> I just didn't know it was possible. (I'm only two weeks new)
[04:22] <lnar> i dont find any program like funny voice!!
[04:22] <dmsuperman> shazzam, depends. how much free space does your hard drive have?
[04:22] <dmsuperman> shazzam, and yes
[04:22] <haris2> tritium: ok thanks...........:)
[04:22] <alan_m> hexoroid, have you tried xubuntu on it?
[04:22] <zcat[1]> lnar: because afaik there is none.
[04:22] <xodiak> dmsuperman: I didn't even know it was possible.
[04:22] <dmsuperman> xodiak, it's cool. if you give me about 3 minutes i can probably walk you through it (i'm fairly new to the whole thing as well, using linux for like 2 months now, so if it gets complicated i may require assitance from somebody else)
[04:22] <shazzam> im gonna put it on the xp with ATI graphics first because the vista belongs to my family and i dont need them yelling at me if i break it
[04:22] <Beatbreaker> hi - i've got no internet in the terminal - here's a summary http://pastebin.com/d21539723
[04:23] <xodiak> dmsuperman: I would appreciate it.
[04:23] <shazzam> my xp has 30 GB free
[04:23] <dmsuperman> shazzam, alright. My suggestion is to resize your xp, and make it 20GB smaller
[04:23] <shazzam> i have a 500GB hard drive though...
[04:23] <shazzam> external
[04:23] <dmsuperman> shazzam, and then put ubuntu in there. 16GB for ubuntu itself, and then like 4GB for thw swap
[04:23] <dmsuperman> shazzam, you could really be fine with like 2GB of swap, sometimes even less, but it never hurts to have extra
[04:23] <tritium> dmsuperman: anything above 2GB for swap is waste
[04:23] <shazzam> shoud i put ubuntu on my external...
[04:23] <hexoroid> alan_m whats xubuntu ?
[04:24] <dmsuperman> xodiak, what filesystem is your windows using, FAT32 or NTFS?
[04:24] <Beatbreaker> hi - i'm stuck in the terminal after upgrading to Gutsy with NO INTERNET - here's a summary http://pastebin.com/d21539723
[04:24] <shazzam> thats what i wanted to do originally
[04:24] <Ashfire908> Can I bring up a ppp connection in a (text-mode) installer environment?
[04:24] <alan_m> !xubuntu | hexoroid
[04:24] <dmsuperman> tritium, I was always told to do 2x your memory
[04:24] <dmsuperman> shazzam, alright
[04:24] <hexoroid> alan thanks i should try it i think this computer a bit old for gnome :-)
[04:24] <alan_m> its a lot easier on hardware than Ubuntu and Kubuntu, its made for older pc's :)
[04:24] <tritium> dmsuperman: that's good to a point
[04:24] <xodiak> dmsuperman: I'm pretty sure it's FAT32
[04:24] <hexoroid> it works fine loads it up but.. like when i move windows it laggs :-)
[04:24] <Beatbreaker> hi - i'm stuck in the terminal after upgrading to Gutsy with NO INTERNET - here's a summary http://pastebin.com/d21539723
[04:25] <alan_m> yeah, try xubuntu hexoroid, im almost positive that will help you with that kind of issue :)
[04:25] <dmsuperman> xodiak, alright. open up a terminal and enter "sudo fdisk -l" and pastebin the results
[04:25] <shazzam> will i ruin my external hard drive? it has about 20GB of tuff i just got it a few days ago..
[04:25] <flash__> Helloo, quick question, anyone know if there is some hardware detection software for linux (in particular ubuntu), which would sort of list all the hardware on your system along with the model numbers and such?
[04:25] <hexoroid> alan_m so when i install it will it remove gnome ?
[04:25] <RAdams> alan_m: I'm definitely sleep-deprived. I was about to ask you what version Xubuntu Hexoriod was. :|
[04:25] <J-a-K-e> Starnestommy:  you wouldnt by chance know what i'm looking for being a somewhat new user to ubuntu. I have been having troubles booting with grub, I get error 17 when i try to boot ubuntu and error 13. Since I've already installed grub several times I was told the error is in /boot
[04:26] <dmsuperman> tritium, I've never used any of my swap at all, but I've got so much hard drive space that I could probably just lose 100GB and be fine, so having plenty of extra for everything is fine for me
[04:26] <AaronH> flash__, use "sudo lshw"
[04:26] <alan_m> hexoroid, not if you install it through synaptic
[04:26] <Beatbreaker> hi - i'm stuck in the terminal after upgrading to Gutsy with NO INTERNET - here's a summary http://pastebin.com/d21539723
[04:26] <hexoroid> synaptic ?
[04:26] <dmsuperman> shazzam, I wouldn't advise running it off an external hard drive, only because 1: some BIOSes don't easily let you boot from USB, and 2: it will be much slower
[04:26] <lnar> i cant see some caracters with firefox it appears a ? in some words
[04:26] <shazzam> oh i c...
[04:26] <alan_m> !synaptic | Hexoroid
[04:26] <lnar> i cant see some caracters with firefox it appears a ? in some words , what do i have to install ??
[04:27] <shazzam> well then.... ill instal it... and see wat happens
[04:27] <alan_m> im trying not to use the bot for simple stuff but it explains some things much better than myself :)
[04:27] <tritium> dmsuperman: you'll get no gains from anything above 2GB
[04:27] <Beatbreaker> hi - i'm stuck in the terminal after upgrading to Gutsy with NO INTERNET - here's a summary http://pastebin.com/d21539723
[04:27] <Ashfire908> !repeat | Beatbreaker
[04:27] <Starnestommy> J-a-K-e: 17 = cannot mount selected partition, 13 = invalid or unsupported executable format
[04:27] <hexoroid> alan well i am going to do now apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[04:27] <dmsuperman> tritium, why is that?
[04:28] <xodiak> dmsuperman: actually looks like it might be NTFS    http://pastebin.com/m62bcda4b
[04:28] <Starnestommy> J-a-K-e: the error 17 is from either setting the wrong partition or setting the right partition, but with that one being corrupt
[04:28] <alan_m> hexoroid, great :)
[04:28] <hexoroid> hmm it says it can not find that package
[04:28] <dmsuperman> xodiak, I'm assuming that 600GB partition is your windows?
[04:28] <Beatbreaker> !patience
[04:28] <alan_m> hexoroid, remember to put sudo in front of this though
[04:28] <dmsuperman> xodiak, sorry, 60GB :P
[04:28] <lnar> i cant see accents with firefox any ideas?
[04:28] <Starnestommy> J-a-K-e: error 13 comes from selecting the wrong file as the kernel
[04:28] <alan_m> hexoroid sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[04:28] <flash__> AaronH, thanks!
[04:29] <AaronH> np, flash__
[04:29] <Beatbreaker> hi - i'm stuck in the terminal after upgrading to Gutsy with NO INTERNET - here's a summary http://pastebin.com/d21539723
[04:29] <tritium> Beatbreaker: you've been asked not to repeat
[04:29] <alan_m> hexoroid, i dont know what to tell you, it should be in the repositories, do you have them all enabled? (even though I believe its in the main...)
[04:29] <SJr|Nbook> How do I figure out what my raid device appears as in /dev/?
[04:29] <hexoroid> alan_m its installing it now.. thank you. if i have anymore questions how to start this up is it ok if i msg you ?
[04:29] <Starnestommy> Beatbreaker: please pastebin /etc/network/interfaces from that computer
[04:29] <Beatbreaker> tritium - i have no idea if anyone has even looked at my paste bin at all
[04:30] <alan_m> hexoroid, its ok if you message me in this room, dont go private message, i like helping multiple people at once :)
[04:30] <tritium> Beatbreaker: patience
[04:30] <shazzam> i actually have windows cp on this comp and it goes friggin slow and i have too much stuff on here and im thinking of just getting rid of the whole thing... but then im afraid im mite want it back and i dont have the xp cd's...
[04:30] <aficionado> Hi, I just finished setting up dual display, but I can't move a window from one monitor to the other.  The two desktops seem independent
[04:30] <Ashfire908> Beatbreaker, is what you pasted exactly what you typed in? could you please paste your /etc/network/interfaces file?
[04:30] <Beatbreaker> Starnestommy - thank you. how do i do that from the terminal?
[04:30] <yit4s> why i cant play flash movies on firefox whenever amarok is playing?
[04:30] <flash__> AaronH, I can't seem to get my motherboard brand/model, any other suggestions?
[04:30] <xodiak> dmsuperman: .... old PC. The main reason I put ubuntu on here.
[04:30] <AaronH> SJr|Nbook, you can look in /etc/fstab
[04:30] <yit4s> i having trouble playing amarok after i played something from youtube
[04:30] <shazzam> will the live cd help me partition my drive?
[04:30] <dmsuperman> xodiak, this should be easy. First, we want to test that you can actually mount it. in your terminal, type "sudo mkdir /media/Temp1" and then "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/Temp1/"
[04:31] <xodiak> dmsuperman: yes the 60GB is my windows.
[04:31] <SJr|Nbook> AaronH I just installed it
[04:31] <AaronH> SJr|Nbook, use "cat /etc/fstab"
[04:31] <Chapai> yit4s, install libflashsupport
[04:31] <Starnestommy> Beatbreaker: it looks like you have two lines starting with "iface eth0" or "auto eth0" in /etc/network/interfaces
[04:31] <SJr|Nbook> AaronH it's not there
[04:31] <may60> hi,
[04:31] <Beatbreaker> Starnestommy - so should i delete the extra ones?
[04:32] <yit4s> chapai: what is it by the way? do i have to uninstall adobe flash?
[04:32] <flash__> AaronH, nvm, think I got it
[04:32] <Starnestommy> Beatbreaker: delete them all except for the first one
[04:32] <Chapai> you dont have to uninstall aything,
[04:32] <hexoroid> ok.. will do alan_m
[04:33] <Starnestommy> Beatbreaker: and don't remove anything that refers to lo
[04:33] <yit4s> chapai: ok thanks
[04:33] <AaronH> flash__, that command should tell you your brand and model of mother board
[04:33] <xodiak> dmsuperman: I think that I should have tried mounting /dev/sda2 instead.
[04:33] <Chapai> hope it works yit4s
[04:33] <kramer3d> neil_d: how do i get out of terminal and resume with installation?
[04:33] <dmsuperman> xodiak, sorry, yeah i accidently copied mine instead of yours :P
[04:33] <hexoroid> alan_m, it has installed right now how do i switch to it now ?
[04:33] <AaronH> SJr|Nbook, have you looked at your "dmesg"
[04:33] <AaronH> ?
[04:33] <J-a-K-e> Starnestommy:  I meant to say I get error 13  when I try to boot windows error 17 what I get when I try to boot ubuntu; windows is on my 160GB ide and ubuntu on my 30GB ide
[04:34] <dmsuperman> xodiak, then do "cd /media/Temp1" to move into our newly mounted filesystem, and "ls -al" to list all the files in it. if that looks like it's your windows partition then that's good news, we've got it mounted (temporarily)
[04:34] <Beatbreaker> Starnestommy - so I should delete all the doubles of "iface eth0" and "auto eth0" - but obviously keeping one of them each? (just for clarification)
[04:34] <neil_d> kramer3d: <ctrl><alt><f7>
[04:34] <yit4s> chapai: hope so. i uninstalled adobe flash and tried other stuff but it doest suit. now i have to wait some time install back adobe flash
[04:34] <Starnestommy> Beatbreaker: delete all of them except the first auto eth0 and the first iface eth0
[04:35] <J-a-K-e> I can get things working temporarily if i follow -> to reinstall grub http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=224351
[04:35] <alan_m> you can switch to it by logging out of your current session, clicking the button that says "sessions" i believe it says..and choosing Xubuntu...correct any of this if its wrong guys.
[04:35] <xodiak> dmsuperman: I get an error telling me mount is denied.  http://pastebin.com/m1fe0fbb1
[04:35] <Starnestommy> J-a-K-e: it looks like you have the wrong root setting for ubuntu.  For windows, you might need to chainload it
[04:35] <Chapai> you asked and i said you dont have to uninstall anything
[04:35] <maco> alan_m: click "XFCE" i believe
[04:35] <Beatbreaker> Starnestommy - got ya, ok i'll give it a go and i'll be back with the results. Thankyou!
[04:35] <alan_m> That above message was for HeXoroid, sorry for not saying
[04:35] <Chapai> you asked and i said you dont have to uninstall anything yit4s
[04:35] <madman91> hello everyone
[04:35] <kramer3d> neil_d: crap it says x server is now disabled , restard GDM when it is configured correctly
[04:36] <alan_m> maco, thanks for assisting me
[04:36] <Starnestommy> Beatbreaker: make sure that the first iface eth0 says "iface eth0 inet dhcp"
[04:36] <yit4s> chapai:  i did before i asked the question :p
[04:36] <illa> okay dumb question.. how do i know if im using gnome or kde?
[04:36] <dmsuperman> xodiak, alright, that happens sometimes. windows says that it's still using the drive, even though you're obviously not. "sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /media/Temp1 -o force"
[04:36] <neil_d> kramer3d: you can restart gdm with from the terminal with "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"
[04:36] <Starnestommy> illa: do you have two panels?
[04:36] <kramer3d> kk
[04:36] <illa> yup
[04:36] <dmsuperman> xodiak, that should force-mount it. then "cd /media/Temp1" and "ls -al" to make sure that's it
[04:36] <Starnestommy> illa: gnome
[04:37] <Dwxreaper3> The ssh vulnerability is just that someone could read the packets?
[04:37] <illa> thats what i thought(im using the default i guess)
[04:37] <J-a-K-e> Starnestommy: well thing is windows works fine if i boot grub off my 30gig I have grub installed on my 160, 30, and a 320 sata (which wont load the grub menu at all)
[04:37] <dez_nuts> any info on obtaining proxies?
[04:37] <yit4s> just wondering why my DNS keeps changing after 30-60 minutes connected to internet? not to mention everytime i turn on my comp
[04:37] <madman91> I have a computer on which I run rtorrent (self compiled), I'm having troubles with it. I ssh into it and administer that way. Often it will crash, leaving just my ssh shell open and with only "cd" available as a command.. other times I have no commands and must manually restart it
[04:38] <clearzen> How do I disable auto mounting drives to the desktop at startup?
[04:38] <zcat[1]> madman91: perhais it would have been easier to just install the rtorrent package
[04:38] <hexoroid> alan_m do i select xfce session ?
[04:38] <yit4s> why does my synaptic downloads at a super slow speed compared to my firefox?
[04:38] <xodiak> dmsuperman: Holy #$@!
[04:38] <SJr|Nbook> AaronH I did look at it suggests that the drive is sdb but cfdisk says there is no disk there
[04:38] <neil_d> clearzen: you can edit the /etc/fstab and put in the option noauto
[04:38] <madman91> zcat[1]: I don't see how that would solve anything (and rtorrent deb is horribly outdated)
[04:38] <Lokii-> clearzen press the power button on your tower right now and hold it for 5seconds
[04:38] <Chapai> clearzen, open terminal, type gconf-editor
[04:38] <Starnestommy> yit4s: it's because of dhclient automatically setting DNS servers.   Thank you! Will this stay or will I have to do all that everytime I boot into ubuntu?
[04:39] <zcat[1]> madman91: hmm, ok.
[04:39] <pistorexDD> !language
[04:39] <Lokii-> LoL
[04:39] <Chapai> app/nautilus/preferences and untick automount
[04:39] <pistorexDD> BRazil?
[04:39] <J-a-K-e> Starnestommy: grub has been an issue ever since i've installed 8.04 which i've tried reinstalling several times now without fixing the problem. Never has an irrue with 710
[04:39] <dmsuperman> xodiak, that was a 1 time thing. to make it automatically mount it, we're going to edit /etc/fstab. "sudo gedit /etc/fstab"
[04:39] <J-a-K-e> *issue
[04:39] <SJr|Nbook> I'm a moron, damn ubuntu not having root :P
[04:40] <[GUN]Wires> I've got a problem: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2780  when I get to tep #5 it says not found on all but one module even though im looking at them right now
[04:40] <Starnestommy> J-a-K-e: that's part of the reason why I stuck with 7.10
[04:40] <tritium> SJr|Nbook: it does, it's just disabled for security purposes.  Use sudo instead.
[04:40] <xodiak> dmsuperman: okay, it's open
[04:40] <dmsuperman> xodiak, then add these lines to the file: # /dev/sda2 - Windows
[04:40] <dmsuperman> /dev/sda2 /media/Windows		ntfs-3g	defaults	0	0
[04:40] <madman91> SJr|Nbook: you can enable it by doing "sudo su" then "passwd" and setting a password
[04:40] <SJr|Nbook> yeah I know
[04:40] <Starnestommy> !noroot
[04:40] <SJr|Nbook> I agree with it, but I forgot about it
[04:41] <zcat[1]> SJr|Nbook: what's the problem?
[04:41] <madman91> SJr|Nbook: alright, just making sure
[04:41] <AaronH> SJr|Nbook, if you want a root prompt do "sudo -s"
[04:41] <SJr|Nbook> Yeah I know all that
[04:41] <tritium> AaronH: sudo -i
[04:41] <neil_d> mad_max02: better to use "sudo su -" for a root login
[04:41] <AaronH> tritium, try sudo -s
[04:41] <zcat[1]> neil_d: I think sudo -i is recommended
[04:41] <dmsuperman> xodiak, then a few things to wrap up, "sudo umount /media/Temp1" "sudo rmdir /media/Temp1" "sudo mkdir /media/Windows" and lastly "sudo mount /media/Windows" and all should be well
[04:41] <tritium> AaronH: no, sudo -i is recommended
[04:41] <yit4s> Starnestommy: ok, i'm on gediting the dhclient and found the prepend line. what am i editing to make my DNS permanent?
[04:41] <J-a-K-e> Starnestommy:  well for me it's either 8.04 or windows xp being something of an audiophile alsa sound drivers just don't cut it pulseaudio sound heaps better
[04:42] <hexoroid> alan_m i pressed logout then i went to options "selected" xfce session and saved it it still logs me in into gnome ?
[04:42] <dmsuperman> xodiak, after that, and every time you reboot, you should now have your windows partition mounted to "/media/Windows"
[04:42] <xodiak> dmsuperman: the last things you said in the terminal window?
[04:42] <xodiak> dmsuperman... actually the next to last thing you said
[04:42] <Starnestommy> yit4s: add this to the bottom: prepend domain-name-servers <first-ip>,<second-ip>;
[04:43] <dmsuperman> xodiak, yes
[04:43] <neil_d> zcat[1]: didn't know about that one.
[04:43] <dmsuperman> xodiak, those are just unmounting your windows partition, deleting the Temp1 folder, creating a folder called Windows, and finally remounting it to the place that it will be residing from then on out
[04:43] <Starnestommy> yit4s: if the first ip were <IP_ADDRESS> and the second were <IP_ADDRESS>, add "prepend domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>,<IP_ADDRESS>;"
[04:43] <DVS01> http://www.dvs01.net/pics/unity.png <--- <3 vmware
[04:44] <amenado> Starnestommy-> do you know if other information like configuration settings other than ip, name server, gateways  can be passed to the client?
[04:44] <xodiak> dmsuperman:  I'm trying to catch up. Would you mind checking out the fstab file to make sure I typed what you told me correctly?  http://pastebin.com/m1a462cf1
[04:44] <lnar> is it possible to make transparent metacity themes using compiz?
[04:44] <[GUN]Wires> can anyone help me?
[04:45] <dmsuperman> xodiak, perfect. save that, close it, and run those 4 commands and you should be good to go :D
[04:45] <kramer3d> neil_d: sorry to bother you again but it just doesnt seem to work, let me repeat my problem so you dont have to scroll up: i have an onboard graphics card and an nvidia card installed
[04:45] <tom_> Hi guys.  Having a problem wit hibernating.. hibernate, and uswsusp(s2disk) both result in funky menus.  Can anyone check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=5036080#post5036080 if you get a second?  I provided a screenshot.. thanks!
[04:45] <Starnestommy> amenado: I think a few things can be transferred, but I don't know exactly what
[04:45] <azzco> How should I be able to record sound from my computer?
[04:45] <yit4s> Starnestommy: put the IPs under the <request>? i see <#prepend domain-name-servers <IP_ADDRESS>>
[04:45] <Carbonflux> lnar, there is a theme manager called Emerald that works with compiz fairly well imo
[04:45] <kramer3d> neil_d: how ever it does not recognize my nvidia card (or maybe it does i dk)
[04:46] <kramer3d> neil_d: so I would like to set the nvidia card as my default and get on with installation
[04:46] <amenado> Starnestommy-> oh okay..been looking around for explanation of such..(what maybe passed to clients)
[04:46] <lnar> Carbonflux i know about emerald, just want to make metacity transparent.... ANY IDEAS?
[04:46] <xodiak> dmsuperman: Very cool Appreciate your help.
[04:46] <Starnestommy> yit4s: just add the line that I told you to add at the end of the file
[04:46] <neil_d> kramer3d: by get on with the installation, have you finished the basic install, and what to now add your own apps ?
[04:46] <dmsuperman> xodiak, no problem =D
[04:46] <Starnestommy> yit4s: it doesn't matter where it is, as long as it's on a separate line
[04:47] <quittt> depois de muito esforço
[04:47] <Carbonflux> lnar, well, you can use the general settings in compiz to set the transparency of windows etc, but thats not want you want?
[04:47] <quittt> eu consegui ENFIAR ESSA POCARIA DE MEMÓRIA
[04:47] <kramer3d> neil_d: no i have not started install at all, i am stuck on the "Cannot load X server part"
[04:47] <dmsuperman> xodiak, and in the future, if you want to mount an ntfs drive as read-only, you could replace "ntfs-3g" with just "ntfs"
[04:47] <tritium> quittt: English, please
[04:47] <SJr|Nbook> If my RAID Card shows as /dev/sdc and /dev/sdb when it's mirrored does that mean linux is ignoring the raid settings
[04:47] <kramer3d> the actual problem is it doesnt recognize my monitor or something but i know that cant be the problem... it must be becaues it doenst recognize graphics card
[04:48] <lnar> Carbonflux u know what to type in to make metacity transparent and gnome panel?
[04:48] <zcat[1]> "I want 'feature' but I don't want to use the software that actually has 'feature'"
[04:48] <quittt> tripps, sorry, I thought this was ubuntu-br =P
[04:48] <zcat[1]> sigh...
[04:49] <michael_> Starnestommy: Hi i'm back online in the terminal - i'm on IRSSI - thankyou
[04:49] <dmsuperman> Does anybody know how can I mount an FTP folder to my local filesystem? I'd prefer a method that doesn't involve editing /etc/fstab, so I only have to mount it when I need it, but if that's the only way it's fine
[04:49] <neil_d> kramer3d: it might be better to, do the install in vesa mode.  then load the nvidia drivers after basic install.
[04:49] <michael_> Starnestommy: but when I do a "sudo apt-get update" i get a ton of "netowrk unresolved" stuff
[04:50] <Carbonflux> lnar, what do you mean by metacity in this case? the panel can be made transparent by going into system->preferences->advanced desktop settings->general->opacity tab then create a entry for name=gnome-panel
[04:50] <yit4s> Starnestommy: if i put the IPs, does that mean i cant no longer change my DNS in Network Settings? or it will set that as default and whenever i dont need a DNS, it will change to the default setting?
[04:50] <Starnestommy> yit4s: you can still change the DNS settings
[04:50] <michael_> Starnestommy: sorry i'm Beatbreaker
[04:50] <kramer3d> neil_d: how do i install in vesa mode? is that the safe graphics mode?

[04:52] <blizzardman1219> hello. i've been trying to configure my wpa_supplicant.conf file for a while now and can't seem to get it right. anyone know how to help?
[04:52] <Carbonflux> lnar, if you want to make all windows transparent automaticlly, you can use any
[04:52] <adv_> any easy to use cli email clients?not pine or mutt.
[04:52] <Starnestommy> adv_: maybe cone
[04:52] <michael_> Starnestommy: failed to fetch Http://BLAHBLAH unable to connect to HTTP
[04:52] <Carbonflux> lnar, but that is hard to do
[04:52] <kupesoft> adv_: alpine
[04:52] <Carbonflux> lnar, because it sets all your windows to zero first
[04:52] <AaronH> dmsuperman, I sent you a pm
[04:52] <stechkov> michael_: whats the error message?
[04:53] <shazzam> hey people im running ubuntu off the live cd... imusing pidgin to chat...
[04:53] <Starnestommy> michael_: that could be due to having an Http:// instead of an http:// in /etc/apt/sources.list if the H in tht is capital
[04:53] <michael_> stechkov: do you mean the stuff after the "E:..."
[04:53] <Carbonflux> lnar, the word "any" I mean, just put that in a opacity value entry, before you do tho find out what key/mouse combo lets you control the transparency of all the windows, heh
[04:53] <shazzam> so.... if i install ubuntu will i be able to do all the things i do in windows..
[04:53] <lnar> Carbonflux got it, but still try to make metacity transparent, is there any web page with all name of settings to make transparent?
[04:54] <michael_> Starnestommy: sorry that was my typo when writing it to you
[04:54] <Carbonflux> the word is "any" lnar
[04:54] <shazzam> i guess it depends wat i do..
[04:54] <Starnestommy> michael_: what's in /etc/resolv.conf ?
[04:54] <yit4s> how do i terminate synaptic activity? it is downloading something not from ubuntu server so it's under Applying Changes instead of Downloading Packages window. the speed sickens me
[04:54] <shazzam> how do i get wine working....
[04:54] <neil_d> shazzam: how long is a piece of string.   you need to specify what all is.
[04:55] <shazzam> i want utorrent to work... or shud i just use azureus
[04:55] <Carbonflux> lnar, its tricky applying it tho, because the default value is 0
[04:55] <shazzam> well i use gimp, azureus, utorrent, a few window programs.. including one that uses the windows registry
[04:56] <lnar> got it, i can name=what ever i want
[04:56] <lnar> cool
[04:56] <lnar> thanks man
[04:56] <Carbonflux> lnar, or title=
[04:56] <Carbonflux> lnar, there is such a webpage also, let me just check...
[04:56] <shazzam> is therea prob with a program that uses the windows registry? will it work on ubuntu thru wine?
[04:56] <lnar> k thank u
[04:56] <michael_> Starnestommy: search universal <new line> nameserver <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:57] <Starnestommy> michael_: can you ping that address with "ping -c 4 <IP_ADDRESS>" ?
[04:57] <arc_shmoo> does anyone know how to run total training dvds on ubuntu?

[05:00] <Neuro2112> yits: sudo ps -A | grep synaptic
[05:00] <saieno> How are ya?
[05:00] <Neuro2112> then kill -HUP the job number that comes back
[05:00] <zcat[1]> !oreilly
[05:00] <shazzam> ok so is it better to have a dual boot with windows or ubuntu run with windows inside it? or the oppsite
[05:00] <saieno> I figured I'd ask here, has anyone gotten COD4 running in Ubuntu?
[05:00] <Sturmeh> yeah i installed vista on another partition, works great
[05:00] <Sturmeh> :D
[05:01] <Neuro2112> depends what you need to do.  I like parallels personally
[05:01] <Neuro2112> but not free
[05:01] <Carbonflux> lnar, http://wiki.opencompositing.org/WindowMatching
[05:01] <zcat[1]> I prefer not having windows at all..
[05:01] <Neuro2112> lol. that too
[05:01] <saieno> Same here zcat
[05:01] <Sturmeh> meh forget quality gaming hten
[05:01] <Carbonflux> lnar, http://wiki.compiz-fusion.org/ also
[05:01] <lnar> thanks uu
[05:01] <Neuro2112> to avoid windows i only play UT
[05:01] <hellonull> hey, out of curiousity, why did hardy include firefox 3 instead of 2 seeing as how ff3 was still beta and such at hardy's release time?
[05:01] <Sturmeh> haha
[05:01] <james__> Can someone help me with "grep" options and controlling output?
[05:01] <michael_> Starnestommy: what's the course of action?
[05:01] <Dr_willis> IRC is the ultimate MMORPG.
[05:01] <yit4s> Neuro2112: i get some numbers... what it does actually?
[05:02] <Sturmeh> valve are porting enough stuff for yas
[05:02] <Dr_willis> james__,  tell us what you are trying to grep?
[05:02] <Dew420> hellonull : because ff3 will be released in June and FF2 will not have lts
[05:02] <Neuro2112> well that first number is the job number
[05:02] <Starnestommy> michael_: what's one of the URLs that it fails on?
[05:02] <zcat[1]> Urban terror, OpenArena, glest .. but no, not really into games that much
[05:02] <milos_> quittt, http://www.diveintopython.org/
[05:02] <Carbonflux> the half life eng is getting ported right now tho
[05:02] <cwo_cool> hi
[05:02] <hellonull> dew420, thank you, that's what i was thinking
[05:02] <Neuro2112> in linux everything gets a job number.  when you use the "kill" command, you actually terminate that job
[05:02] <saieno> Quake 4, Enemy Territory, soon to have Steam native.
[05:02] <Neuro2112> kill -HUP allows it to exit gracefully
[05:03] <michael_> Starnestommy: there's alot of "Hit: ...." coming up if that means anything
[05:03] <zcat[1]> job == "process ID" or PID
[05:03] <woli> why can't i use my microphone under ubuntu?
[05:03] <yit4s> Neuro2112: how do i kill the downloading process?
[05:03] <michael_> Starnestommy: but i'll get one complete address up for you hold on
[05:03] <woli> it returns an error ALWAYS
[05:03] <Starnestommy> michael_: the Hit ones usually mean that those worked
[05:03] <james__> Dr_willis: I'd like to run {lspci | grep Intel | more} is that correct syntax?
[05:03] <Neuro2112> what did you get when you ran "sudo ps -A | grep synaptic" ?  paste it into the window
[05:03] <Neuro2112> here
[05:04] <sjdurfey> i need help setting up mplayer to playback my DVD's, as it is right now, it gives me this error "No Stream found to handle url dvd://1" , the no one in the #mplayer room is talking
[05:04]  * delcoyote hi
[05:05] <Kohlrak> any idea why i can't play dvds in totem?
[05:05] <yit4s> Neuro2112: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14437/
[05:05] <woli> when i try to test the microphone under sound preferences i get the error: Could not open audio device for recording.
[05:06] <yit4s> Neuro2112: p/s type my nick so that i can hear the pidgin alerting me :d
[05:06] <Kohlrak> woli, do you have a sigmatel audio card?
[05:06] <woli> i have audigy soundblaster
[05:06] <woli> audigy 2 zs
[05:06] <michael_> Starnestommy: http:/archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/gutsy/restricted/translation-en_AU.bz2
[05:07] <james__> let me try this again, can anyone tell me how to view specific output from lspci and read it line by line?
[05:07] <Kohlrak> then i don't know what to tell you
[05:07] <Neuro2112> yit4s: those are the two jobs associated with synaptic currently.  To end them, type "sudo kill -HUP 6726" and then type that again, but replace the 6726 with 6739.  That will get you back to synaptic not running.
[05:07] <woli> and when i go under sound recorder, i'm told to configure in multimedia settings... I don't think i have that app
[05:07] <secleinteer> hi, is there any word on when kernel 2.6.25 will be in the hardy repos?
[05:08] <userzero> james__:  use 'lspci -vv |less'
[05:08] <Kohlrak> you have it, but i havn't a clue where it is, woli
[05:08] <Neuro2112> yit4s: you may not need the sudo since you are the owner, but i can't remember if synaptic runs as a privileged task, so leaving sudo in won't hurt.
[05:08] <woli> ain't it the sound preferences thing?
[05:08] <blizzardman1219> ok is there someone in here who can help me? i'm trying to configure my wpa_supplicant.conf file
[05:09] <Kohlrak> maybe
[05:09] <yit4s> Neuro2112: cool, nice killing trick! how do i view other jobs by the way?
[05:09] <Kohlrak> anyone know how to play a simple DVD?
[05:09] <james__> userzero, that chops off some info
[05:09] <michael_> Starnestommy: that one before said "unable to connect to http:"
[05:09] <michael_> Starnestommy: but there's a different type too hold on...
[05:09] <Neuro2112> yit4s:  If you just do the ps -A you get all the jobs, ps -ef shows you detailed information.
[05:10] <james__> userzero, rather I can't view the first few entries
[05:10] <Starnestommy> michael_: was it http:// or http:/?
[05:10] <userzero> james__:  lspci -vv > lspci.txt
[05:10] <lastexyle> does anyone think they might be able to help me with getting nat/dns working?
[05:10] <james__> thank you
[05:10] <Neuro2112> yit4s: if you do the "ps -ef" you can see the owner too, this can  help figure out if you need to "kill" with "sudo" or not
[05:10] <michael_> Starnestommy: it was http:/archive....   i double checked
[05:10] <Starnestommy> michael_: that one url you had was giving me a 404
[05:10] <james__> userzero, can I accomplish the same with grep?
[05:11] <michael_> Starnestommy: great
[05:11] <james__> or similar
[05:11] <userzero> james__:  lspci -vv |grep anything
[05:11] <michael_> Starnestommy: i'm not in australia anymore anyway, i'm living in Japan, is there a way to get those updated
[05:11] <james__> userzero, thanks, that's very helpful. make my life a bit easier
[05:12] <userzero> james__: anytime
[05:12] <Starnestommy> michael_: I think so, but I'm not exactly sure how
[05:12] <Kohlrak> looks like i'm gonna have to boot up windows, wine wont' even use the software on the dvd
[05:12] <james__> Kohlrak: what app ya trying to run?
[05:12] <james__> Kohlrak: what version of wine do you have?
[05:12] <Kohlrak> james__: not an app, actually, a DVD
[05:13] <Kohlrak> and the most recent version of wine
[05:13] <james__> Kohlrak: Video DVD?
[05:13] <michael_> Starnestommy: another one is http://archive/ubuntu.com/ubuntu/distros/gutsy/release.gpg could not resolve "archive"
[05:13] <Kohlrak> there is software on the dvd, so i'm assuming the app might provide some sort of decryptor
[05:13] <Kohlrak> and yes, video dvd
[05:13] <Starnestommy> michael_: change the archive/ubuntu.com to archive.ubuntu.com
[05:14] <michael_> Starnestommy: yeah i can see the problem
[05:14] <Dr_willis> Kohlrak,  what dvd exactly?
[05:14] <michael_> Starnestommy: but i don't know how to fix that - will it be in sources.list?
[05:14] <james__> Kohlrak:  is it embedded Video software or actual windows software?
[05:14] <Starnestommy> michael_: probably
[05:14] <Kohlrak> Xfiles - Season 4
[05:14] <Airwolf> Hi, doing sudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf returns an error " Couldn't Open Display" where could be the problem? I am installing new drivers for my ati video card
[05:14] <Kohlrak> it's actual windows software
[05:15] <Dr_willis> Kohlrak,  i would guess its some 'extras' - not needed to play the disks.
[05:15] <Kohlrak> Then what's totem's problem that it's chokin' on it?
[05:15] <james__> Kohlrak: it might be that the software itself has runtime DRM attached
[05:15] <michael_> Starnestommy: haha, sorry, whats the location of sources.list again? i'm drawig a blank
[05:15] <Kohlrak> the DRM is beyond annoying.......................
[05:16] <Starnestommy> michael_: /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:16] <michael_> Starnestommy: cheers
[05:16] <lastexyle> does anyone think they might be able to help me with getting nat set up?
[05:16] <Dr_willis> explore the disk. see what other files you see.. Ive used the various video players t play the   data files directly
[05:16] <Kohlrak> i'm trying that now
[05:16] <danag1> what happens when i execute mv (single filename) *.iso
[05:16] <Dr_willis> vlc whatever.vob  :) has worked for me in the past
[05:16] <jrib> danag1: depends on what *.iso matches
[05:16] <Kohlrak> ton of vobs, sorting through them now
[05:17] <yit4s> Neuro2112: another problem arise. since i killed synaptic, i have to run it again on terminal to finish it again. and the slow download still an unfinished task. how do i cancel the download?
[05:17] <widowmaker> hello
[05:17] <james__> Kohlrak: I once had audio files from musicmatch that used runtime DRM to tell me I didn't have licenses that I've purchased, and other time it would tell me that I don't have the correct player.
[05:17] <michael_> Starnestommy: they're all fine there
[05:17] <EvolutionXtinct> Does anyone know how to get Ubuntu 7.10 Wifi working on a PS3?
[05:17] <danag1> jrib: oh shit, thank you
[05:17] <james__> Kohlrak: it sucked
[05:17] <Kohlrak> i'm sick of the DRM stuff.
[05:17] <EvolutionXtinct> i grabed the 2.6.23 kernel and it totally bricked my install after following the guides
[05:17] <widowmaker> evo extinct I can help
[05:18] <Kohlrak> it's just more stuff to force us to microsoft, they're not really worried about us or the people who make the dvds
[05:18] <EvolutionXtinct> widowmaker aewsome can I PM you
[05:18] <WidowMaker> sire
[05:18] <Kohlrak> Microsoft is just using them to control us
[05:18] <WidowMaker> sure
[05:18] <Neuro2112> yit4s:  use "sudo ps -A | grep apt"  to see if any apt-get are running.  If it already downloading then it may have hung there.  Kill that process to if it exists.
[05:18] <xvedejas> Evolution: try upgrading to hardy, for me it fixed several wifi problems (although I have no idea about it on the ps3)
[05:18] <michael_> Starnestommy: where else could those mistakes be? I assumed they'd be in sources.list too, i've tried to fix it from there before
[05:18] <CTho> why does the updater tell me to quit my apps before the 2 hours of downloading, rather tahn after the 2 hours of downloading right before it actually starts installing?
[05:18] <james__> Kohlrak: DRM, good Idea, poor implementation
[05:18] <Neuro2112> yit4s:  after you kill all that run "sudo apt-get clean" to remove any locks
[05:19] <Starnestommy> michael_: messed up files on the server migth cause it, but that's unlikely
[05:19] <james__> oh well, such is life
[05:19] <corevette> is there a way to make the installer i'm using ignore dependencies? (not synaptic/apt-get)
[05:19] <Starnestommy> corevette: depends on the installer
[05:19] <jrib> CTho: some apps might become fubar if you use them while you upgrade.  This way you expect it
[05:19] <danag1> jrib: thank you
[05:19] <CTho> jrib: but why do i have to keep everything quit for 2 hours while it's downloading and not actually changing anything?
[05:19] <Kohlrak> what the hell? I tried to copy some files from the dvd now it's saying i don't have permission to do it
[05:19] <corevette> Starnestommy, ./installer.sh -commandgoeshere?
[05:19] <EvolutionXtinct> xvedejas is the 8.04?
[05:19] <Kohlrak> to delete the files either
[05:19] <CTho> jrib: there's no risk until after the download finishes
[05:20] <EvolutionXtinct> of Ubuntu i don't go by the gimick names haha i just remember the version #'s
[05:20] <xvedejas> yes
[05:20] <xvedejas> 8.04, yes
[05:20] <Kohlrak> admin nautilus time
[05:20] <Starnestommy> corevette: I don't know about installer.sh
[05:20] <jrib> CTho: fair enough, I see your point.  It's being overly cautious
[05:20] <michael_> Starnestommy: humm ok, well i guess this is kinda beside the point - id really jsut like to get into the GUI mainly.
[05:20] <EvolutionXtinct> xvedejas do they have a live cd yet for PS3 i couldnt' find one
[05:20] <Hammer89> what's a good program for creating password protected archives?
[05:20] <WidowMaker> truecrypt
[05:20] <jrib> Hammer89: gpg
[05:20] <WidowMaker> it's amazing
[05:21] <WidowMaker> go with truecrypt
[05:21] <EvolutionXtinct> i was wrong!! xvedejas your right i swear it didn't come up
[05:21] <Sturmeh> truecrypt ftw
[05:21] <Hammer89> lol
[05:21] <xvedejas> yes, here
[05:21] <xvedejas> http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/daily/current/
[05:21] <michael_> Starnestommy: i'll be better at fixing it after that (i'll use forums since it'll be working anyway)
[05:21] <WidowMaker> you can create secret secret files. That's double secret fyi
[05:21] <sjdurfey> i need help setting up mplayer to playback my DVD's, as it is right now, it gives me this error "No Stream found to handle url dvd://1" , the no one in the #mplayer room is talking
[05:21] <EvolutionXtinct> xvedejas sorry haha my brains fried after this whole experience
[05:21] <EvolutionXtinct> xvedejas so did you have any problems at all?
[05:21] <Hammer89> I've used truecrypt before... gui didn't work last time I tried though
[05:21] <EvolutionXtinct> i have a newer 80GB version PS3
[05:21] <james__> has anyone else here used dreamlinux or pclinuxos?
[05:21] <jrib> !dvd > sjdurfey (read the private message from ubottu)
[05:21] <EvolutionXtinct> thats only like 4 months old
[05:21] <slimjimflim> anybody seen any good movies recently?
[05:21] <Hammer89> is truecrypt in the hardy repos?
[05:22] <WidowMaker> yeah
[05:22] <slimjimflim> non-horror pls
[05:22] <zcat[1]> !dvd
[05:22] <michael_> Starnestommy: sorry i didn't say, the main problem is with my xserver - the update from Fiesty to Gutsy broke my Nvidia driver and i haven't been able to get to the GUI since
[05:22] <jjoyner> hey...anybody know how to reset my mouse's keybindings to default, somehow it is keybound to where i need to hold shift, alt, or ctrl as well as left click to click on any thing
[05:22] <Starnestommy> michael_: you could try telling xorg to use the vesa driver until you get the nvidia one working
[05:22] <Kohlrak> thanks zcat....
[05:23] <bullgard4> After Gutsy dist-upgrading to Hardy my Gnome programs are in English although '~$ locale' returns LANG=de_DE.UTF8. How can I change that?
[05:23] <michael_> Starnestommy: i think i've tried that - is that changing the driver from "nvidia" to "nv" ?
[05:23] <xvedejas> Like I said I never installed on a PS3
[05:23] <xvedejas> But I've had no problems on a PC
[05:23] <Qster> evdev mouse support anyone know how?
[05:23] <Kohlrak> ugh, legal reasons... They are out to get rid of us...
[05:23] <Starnestommy> michael_: change it to "vesa"
[05:23] <michael_> ok hold on
[05:23] <EvolutionXtinct> xvedejas oh... see thats the thing
[05:23] <EvolutionXtinct> what kernel is outta the box?
[05:23] <Hammer89> WidowMaker: it's saying hidden volumes aren't supported on my platform...
[05:24] <zcat[1]> "First thing we do, kill all the lawyers"
[05:24] <jrib> Qster: man evdev :)  I can pastebin my setup if you want

[05:24] <EvolutionXtinct> has anyone else installed ubuntu on PS3 yet?
[05:24] <Starnestommy> REDLiNE: sudo apt-get install tcl8.4

[05:26] <Qster> ok thanks jrib
[05:26] <jjoyner> midoomed?
[05:27] <jjoyner> is there a way to restore my mouse's left click?
[05:27] <Gauss> Yes.

[05:29] <Neuro2112> yit4s: lol.  okay.  take a "ps -A" and send a paste link to me
[05:30] <michael_> Starnestommy: i'd rather reinstall it, i've tried to reconfigure it before and it didn't work
[05:30] <w3rd_> hey do you guys know of any podcast / videocast software that is opensource to install on a webserver?
[05:30] <zcat[1]> Travis: /etc/crontab
[05:30] <In-Sane``> hello, I have an issue with my ubuntu. after running firefox it stops working and I am not able to close, open or modify anything.. all i can do is press the power button and boot again, any suggestions please?
[05:30] <nks_> Hello All, whenever I restart my laptop, my skydome image vanishes - Would anyone happen to know how to keep the image in place?
[05:30] <Travis> thanks, zcat
[05:30] <michael_> Starnestommy: i'm sorry but i'm going to have to ask you for some instructions of how to reinstall the xserver, i don't know
[05:30] <xvedejas> I'm very confused, on the location map in the ubuntu install there is no location within 1000 miles of me... But I live in the US?
[05:30] <jjoyner> Gauss:  how do i fix my mouse's left click?
[05:31] <yit4s> Neuro2112: nahh, i just let it finish downloading. patient is never one of my virtues
[05:31] <Starnestommy> michael_: sudo aptitude reinstall xserver-xorg
[05:31] <Neuro2112> yit4s:  sometimes that is all you can do.  i build servers out all day - i am very patient with these things :-)
[05:31] <azzco> Has anayone been successfull on using recordmydesktop with pulseaudio?
[05:31] <nux565> Excuse me, I have just installed the Ubuntu 8.04, and when I try to log on, its starts to, then my monitor flashes, then it logs me off again.  I have checked the forums and I cannot find an answer.. It also does it on the liveCD thing.. it won't log in there either..
[05:32] <psmith> How are we to night
[05:32] <djnm> nux565: what is your graphics card?
[05:32] <nux565> ATI somethin
[05:32] <michael_> Starnestommy: GOD, nothing works!!! that failed too
[05:32] <nux565> just got the tower for free today
[05:32] <michael_> Starnestommy: is my instillation jsut stuffed?
[05:32] <yit4s> Neuro2112: i ordered hardy heron on CD. i thought i was gonna get it in 4 weeks, but i only took 1 1/2 weeks and i'm in Asia!!
[05:32] <jjoyner> this is test to make sure i'm connected, can somebody respond?
[05:32] <bullgard4> After Gutsy dist-upgrading to Hardy my Gnome programs are in English although '~$ locale' returns LANG=de_DE.UTF8. How can I change that?
[05:32] <izinucs> jjoyner, no
[05:32] <zcat[1]> jjoyner: no
[05:32] <Starnestommy> michael_: it depends on the cause of this state of not working
[05:33] <bijur> hey all :)
[05:33] <jjoyner> tyvm
[05:33] <zcat[1]> rofl..
[05:33] <jjoyner> is there a way to fix my mouse's left click button?  i unbound it and can't find how to rebind it
[05:33] <absnt> is there a way to see all files associated with a program?
[05:33] <wasssups> yo ah i am testing ubuntu hardy with crashme and .... it seems it has been tweaked to restrict forking / processes for users to a certain number is this so ?
[05:34] <In-Sane``> any one please? ;)
[05:34] <nux565> djnm: ati something.. could it be the vid card?
[05:34] <bijur> absnt: i am sure there would be a better way, but try doing a locate <pg_name>
[05:34] <bijur> absnt: do an updatedb& before that
[05:34] <zcat[1]> wasssups: not as far as I know.. I forkbombed mine quite recently
[05:34] <U> hi! Good night,
[05:34] <michael_> Starnestommy: the error said "i wasn't able to locate file for the xserver-xorg package. This might mean you need to manually fix this package. Couldn't lock list directory, are you root?"
[05:34] <bijur> in-sane: whats the matter mate?
[05:35] <jjoyner> is there a way to rebind my mouse's left click button, i unbound it and now i can't figure out how to rebind
[05:35] <In-Sane``> bijur: I have an issue with my ubuntu. after running firefox it stops working and I am not able to close, open or modify anything.. all i can do is press the power button and boot again, any suggestions please?
[05:35] <bijur> u mean ubuntu as such stopped working?
[05:35] <zcat[1]> michael_: ubuntu upgrades are majorly broken imho.. best to backup /home and do a fresh install.
[05:35] <joot> zcat[1]: Hi from Hamilton west?
[05:35] <Dr_willis> jjoyner,  i cant even  think of WHERE you would unbind that at..
[05:35] <In-Sane``> bijur: yes, exactly
[05:35] <Neuro2112> jjoyner:
[05:35] <jjoyner> compiz....
[05:35] <Starnestommy> michael_: that's definitely strange
[05:35] <zcat[1]> joot: where joo?
[05:35] <bijur> michael_: i found the german packages really good
[05:35] <Qster> jrib, where do you get your values of "7 6" from? i know they are buttons but what does the "7 6" mean?
[05:35] <Neuro2112> jjoyner:  stand by, it is /usr/bin/click
[05:36] <psmith> Thats why I switched to  OpenSolaris.
[05:36] <Dr_willis> jjoyner,  disable compiz perhaps?
[05:36] <djnm> nux565: most likely, search for your model on the forums. also see if you can log in to a failsafe shell session
[05:36] <In-Sane``> bijur: it only get to that when i attempt to open Firefox.
[05:36] <bullgard4> What is the effect of a line "LANGUAGE="de_DE:de:en_GB:en" in /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale?
[05:36] <joot> zcat[1]: it is jt from wlug
[05:36] <Neuro2112> used to be atleast
[05:36] <zcat[1]> ahh, kewl
[05:36] <michael_> i've got no idea what to do in this situation
[05:36] <jjoyner> tried, i uninstalled it even, but it is a no go
[05:37] <nux565> djnm: I can get into failsafe shell session..  Try runnin firefox from shell with the command firefox and notice what are the errors and warnings thrown. Also look at the /var/log/xorg.log etc.
[05:37] <Starnestommy> michael_: you might need to
[05:37] <michael_> Starnestommy: what is with that error!?
[05:37] <Gian2008> somebody here is using VMWare to use Ubuntu?
[05:37] <psmith> jjoyner: Stick With it and you will love the end result.
[05:37] <bijur> In-Sane``: also try to see if u can do ctrl+alt+1 and see if u get a shell
[05:37] <Neuro2112> jjoyner: it seems to be missing. that used to be the config util for mououse
[05:37] <michael_> Starnestommy: ok, thanks for your help, no need to waste anymore time on that
[05:38] <Brent^> how do I restart gnome/compiz?
[05:38] <Starnestommy> michael_: it could be another package manager open, or the package info for xserver-xorg being missing
[05:38] <In-Sane``> bijur:  ok.. do you want me to paste the log file?
[05:38] <jjoyner> yea, so i'm gullible, but how do i fix?
[05:38] <In-Sane``> bijur:  ok.. lemme try :)
[05:38] <djnm> nux565: so it is probably your video card. search the model on the forums
[05:38] <michael_> Starnestommy: will it be as easy as downloading the ISO sticking it and
[05:38] <Gian2008> who here is using VMWARE?
[05:38] <Gian2008> just me?
[05:38] <Gian2008> oh my God@
[05:38] <bijur> In-Sane``: i am new to irc, i dont think people would like to see a lot of log file content on here, do u have a wiki or something where u cud do that and send me the link?
[05:38] <slimjimflim_> ok, one more time, anybody seen any non-horror/thriller movies lately that didn't suck?
[05:38] <michael_> Starnestommy: there seem to be way too many problems here for me to handle at the moment
[05:38] <Starnestommy> Gian2008: just ask the question that you needed to ask about vmware and ubuntu
[05:38] <Flannel> slimjimflim_: #ubuntu-offtopic, not here please.
[05:39] <psmith> bijur: please use pastebin
[05:39] <bijur> slimjimlim_:lol
[05:39] <Sturmeh> slimjimflim yeah indianajones
[05:39] <nux565> djnm: will do. Thanks.  Though, I am a little curious.. Why would my video card f' it all up on normal login?
[05:39] <zcat[1]> !pastebin | In-Sane``
[05:39] <bijur> !pastebin
[05:39] <In-Sane``> bijur: nah, i will use the paste service from ubuntu.
[05:39] <Sturmeh> slimjimflim_ /\
[05:39] <jjoyner> can anybody help?
[05:39] <Neuro2112> jjoyner: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14443/
[05:39] <bijur> ,pastebin
[05:39] <Dr_willis> !pastebinit |  bijur
[05:39] <In-Sane``> zcat[1] yeah thanks
[05:39] <james__> slimjimflim_  I am Legend
[05:39] <james__> that was decent
[05:39] <Brent^> how do I restart gnome and/or compiz?
[05:39] <Gian2008> I want to know how can I reset my Ubuntu,
[05:39] <Dr_willis> bijur,  the pastebinit command is very handy.....  'cat output | pastebinit '      and give the url here.
[05:39] <zcat[1]> brent^ from where?
[05:39] <michael_> Starnestommy: i guess it's nice that i can atleast get things working again like that
[05:39] <azzco> I'm sorry if I'm repeating myself but I'm feeling utterly ignored..pulseaudio+recordmydesktop=video+sound?
[05:39] <bijur> james__: i found they ran out of ideas to wards the end of that movie
[05:39] <slimjimflim_> james__ that movie sucked
[05:39] <Neuro2112> slimjimflim:  I watched "Alien" again today -- that never sucks
[05:39] <psmith> neuratix: Let me pull that up on my solaris work station
[05:39] <bullgard4> What is the effect of a line "LANGUAGE="de_DE:de:en_GB:en" in /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale?
[05:40] <slimjimflim_> i've seen alien
[05:40] <bijur> Dr_willis: cool!
[05:40] <zcat[1]> Brent^: ctrl-alt-backspace works if you're already in gnome
[05:40] <Brent^> zcat[1] terminal I guess... doesnt really matter
[05:40] <slimjimflim_> thanks for trying tho
[05:40] <zcat[1]> Brent^: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[05:40] <Starnestommy> michael_: upgrading ubuntu through the package manager or by any other method other than a clean reinstall can cause issues
[05:40] <Dr_willis> bijur,  install pastebinit first - of course. :P
[05:40] <djnm> nux565: i dont know why exactly. i just think your graphics card cant handle starting the main gnome X session
[05:40] <Neuro2112> slimjimflim: try the original version of "Wickerman"  it is way creepy in a weird 70's way
[05:40] <bijur> lol, sure , thanks
[05:40] <In-Sane``> how do I view my xorg log file?
[05:40] <slimjimflim_> sturmeh, sorry, my eth cable has a broken tab, i didn't seen anything ^^
[05:41] <DEMON[x11]> äàðîâà
[05:41] <michael_> Starnestommy: so really, do i just need to get the ISO from the net, boot with it and will it overwrite the crappy one that i've got? i won't be loosing anything cos nothing is there anyway
[05:41] <Starnestommy> michael_: yes
[05:41] <Brent^> thanks zcat[1] :)
[05:41] <michael_> Starnestommy: it's worked for me once before
[05:41] <Sturmeh> slimjimflim_ indianajones
[05:41] <Sturmeh> :D
[05:41] <psmith> pastebin.ca
[05:41] <Neuro2112> in-sane: /var/log/Xorg.0.log (probably the new one)
[05:41] <michael_> Starnestommy: will it bust my grub up?
[05:41] <IcemanV9> In-Sane``: cat <xlog file> |less
[05:41] <In-Sane``> bijur: /var/log/xorg.log: No such file or directory
[05:41] <Gian2008> someone knows how can I reset Ubuntu without the need to download that one again?
[05:41] <bijur> In-Sane``: the xorg log is at /var/log
[05:41] <jjoyner> http://paste.ubuntu.com/14444/
[05:41] <Starnestommy> michael_: you could tell it to not install grub
[05:41] <jjoyner> Neuro2112:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/14444/
[05:41] <bijur> In-Sane``: X thats a capital
[05:41] <Gian2008> I'm using VMWARE and Ubunt8.04
[05:41] <slimjimflim> sturmeh, heh, just got that off usenet this afternoon, it kicked ass
[05:42] <michael_> Starnestommy: i need grub, i've got it split between windows and ubuntu
[05:42] <Sturmeh> lol
[05:42] <Starnestommy> Gian2008: if you still have the .iso, you can use that
[05:42] <jjoyner> so do i make it read exactly as your pastebin did??
[05:42] <james__> anyone know of any awesome games for ubuntu?
[05:42] <Starnestommy> michael_: is grub on a separaate /boot partition?
[05:42] <michael_> james__: quake?
[05:42] <bijur> In-Sane``: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:42] <zcat[1]> with or without windows, you still need some kind of bootloader.. grub or lilo, usually
[05:42] <Neuro2112> jjoyner:  Do you see any weird "option" values... check this http://linux.die.net/man/4/vmmouse for a reference on the mouse config opts
[05:43] <djnm> james__:nethack ;-)
[05:43] <psmith> Gian2008: What host os are you running vmware under?
[05:43] <jrib> Qster: you can ignore that.  That's to switch the side scroll buttons on my mouse because they are reversed by default
[05:43] <azzco> james__: Tremulous, frets on fire
[05:43] <michael_> Starnestommy: maybe, but i couldn't be sure
[05:43] <zcat[1]> james__: openarena, urban terror, World of Padman, glest ..
[05:43] <In-Sane``> bijur: yep.. i will give you the link, just a minute please
[05:43] <yit4s> can i move my ubuntu to a real partition from wubi installation WITHOUT removing ubuntu, windows and start everything all over again?
[05:43] <Gian2008> well, just let it go. Thanks anyway.
[05:43] <Gian2008> be.
[05:43] <IcemanV9> In-Sane``: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | less (to be exact command in your terminal)
[05:43] <Starnestommy> michael_: if it isn't, you could still manually configure a new install of grub
[05:43] <J-a-k-e> hi all is anyone able to help me get grub working?
[05:43] <michael_> Starnestommy: how can i access my grub now so i can take down some notes on how it's working at the moment?
[05:43] <Neuro2112> jjoyner:  what type of mouse are you using?  as long as it is rather generic, my config works across all 6 of my systems
[05:43] <In-Sane``> IcemanV9: ok, thanks alot
[05:43] <jjoyner> logitech
[05:43] <zcat[1]> yit4s: not really...
[05:43] <Neuro2112> jjoyner: i have a fairly vanilla input device config
[05:44] <Starnestommy> michael_: look at /boot/grub/menu.lst
[05:44] <Neuro2112> jjoyner: two button with a wheel?
[05:44] <jjoyner> Neuro2112:  yes
[05:44] <jjoyner> Neuro2112:  sorry, 4 button with a wheel
[05:44] <michael_> Starnestommy: cheers, sorry i ask really obvious questions, i used to use ubuntu a lot but stopped so i forgot all of the locations of things.
[05:44] <Neuro2112> jjoyner: try my pastebin then and see how that goes -- i have a four button here (old mac mouse) that works fine with that inputdevice
[05:44] <psmith> FYI the whell on most modern mice also counts as a thirdbutton
[05:44] <jjoyner> Neuro2112:  kk
[05:45] <In-Sane``> bijur: here is my xorg log file if you don't mind having a look: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14445/
[05:45] <Travis> does anybody know how to setup tunneling with ssh?
[05:45] <zcat[1]> yit4s: you possibly could but I think it'd be pretty tricky anyhow
[05:45] <bijur> checking
[05:45] <yit4s> zcat[1]: i decided that ubuntu fits me well after 3 weeks via wubi. now i need it on a real partition so that i can get better performance ubuntu
[05:45] <administrator> Hi everyone
[05:45] <bullgard4> "~$ uname -r; 2.6.24-16-generic." Why does http://lxr.linux.no/linux not list 2.6.24-16-generic?
[05:45] <ragas> hi administrator
[05:46] <yit4s> zcat[1]: i installed alot of stuff on ubuntu, fixed alot of things to get it running smoothly. you know how hard it is to make my wireless work and my webcam
[05:46] <tenX> good mornin every1
[05:46] <Travis> how do you ssh to a computer inside a lan from the internet?
[05:46] <administrator> I was wndering if any of you know why is so damn hard to install the flash player
[05:46] <Starnestommy> bullgard4: because the -generic kernel uses a set of patches made by either debian's or uubntu's developers
[05:46] <psmith> Don't use prerelease versions, IMHO your asking for trouble,
[05:46] <tenX> Travis: that depends..
[05:46] <Travis> on?
[05:46] <Neuro2112> psmiith: on jjoyner's config, it says she is using vmmouse as the driver - isn't that the old XFree mouse opt?
[05:46] <tenX> Travis: a lot?
[05:46] <administrator> everything else is working well for me
[05:46] <bijur> In-Sane``: this does seem like the current X log, as in, this is the not th elog of the session that crashed. Do uhave the log of that? maybe Xorg.0.log.old or something
[05:46] <kreeper> u mean for opera
[05:46] <tenX> Travis: you never described your setup so far
[05:47] <kushal05212008> thank you so much #ubuntu I have installed ubuntu using wubi. it was really easy. it detected my sound card and wireless cards too
[05:47] <kreeper> installing the flashplayer for firefox is easy
[05:47] <zcat[1]> yit4s: I haven't looked too closely, you might be able to tar it all up, create an ext3 partition and untar it back again, you'll need to fix up /etc/fstab though, and install GRUB by hand.. at the very least
[05:47] <psmith> Travis: That requires a bit of configuration on the host and router.
[05:47] <Dr_willis> kushal05212008,  you are in the minority then in that area. :) Lucky for you it all worked..
[05:47] <tenX> Travis: we need to know what exactly you want to do and in which environment
[05:48] <yit4s> kushal05212008: does your ubuntu boots slower than windows??
[05:48] <In-Sane``> bijur: hold on, lemme see if i can get to it..
[05:48] <kushal05212008> not really
[05:48] <administrator> how do I install grub?????
[05:48] <kushal05212008> well, there is this additional time for waiting
[05:48] <yit4s> does wubi really affects my ubuntu's boot time?
[05:48] <jjoyner> Neuro2112:  that didn't work...same problem
[05:48] <Neuro2112> hmmm
[05:48] <tenX> yit4s: wubi?
[05:48] <psmith> tenX: Thanks
[05:48] <Flannel> !grub | administrator
[05:49] <bullgard4> Starnestommy: And for example the kernel <IP_ADDRESS> does not use any patches?
[05:49] <jjoyner> Neuro2112:  i tried it both with changing vmmouse and without changing
[05:49] <Travis> i want to ssh to a workstation that's connected to the internet through a router.
[05:49] <kushal05212008> I did not find it in my case
[05:49] <Travis> it's a basic setup
[05:49] <tenX> psmith: for what is that :)
[05:49] <Travis> modem -> router -> computer
[05:49] <Starnestommy> bullgard4: it doesn't use any extra patches
[05:49] <jjoyner> Neuro2112:  to left click for me i have to hold shift OR ctrl OR alt and then left click
[05:49] <In-Sane``> bijur: maybe this one but am not sure :) : http://paste.ubuntu.com/14447/
[05:49] <tenX> psmith: cant remember helping you out
[05:49] <kushal05212008> It was much faster than when I used live CD
[05:49] <yit4s> tenX: wubi is windows installer for ubuntu. it installs ubuntu as an application on windows
[05:49] <jjoyner> Neuro2112:  otherwise, it just grabs the window and initiates move
[05:49] <bullgard4> Starnestommy: What is an "extra patch"?
[05:49] <Starnestommy> tenX: forward port 22 on the router to that workstation
[05:49] <tenX> yit4s: that sounds scary. but i heart about that :)
[05:49] <Starnestommy> bullgard4: a patch made by someone other than the kernel's developers
[05:49] <Neuro2112> jjoyner: how did you initially change it?
[05:50] <tenX> Starnestommy: why would i wanna do that?
[05:50] <Travis> i need to connect to multiple computers using ssh on the lan
[05:50] <kushal05212008> and I think it is actually faster than windows since windows comes with the heavy load of nagware and so on that toshiba installs
[05:50] <bullgard4> Starnestommy: Ah, ok. --  Thank you for explaining.
[05:50] <ragas> എദാ തെണ്ടികലെ
[05:50] <Travis> so forwarding port 22 to one terminal wouldn't work
[05:50] <michael_> Starnestommy: great thanks, i wrote it all down
[05:50] <Outburst> hi everybody
[05:50] <Starnestommy> er, whoops, wrong person tenX
[05:50] <yit4s> tenX: not really. it only takes 15 minutes to install ubuntu and you can get everything work once it's done
[05:50] <ragas> ഹാ ഹാ
[05:50] <jjoyner> Neuro2112:  in compiz, i keybound "Button1" to be something
[05:50] <administrator> thanks guys I appreciate the tips
[05:51] <michael_> Starnestommy: thanks for your help, i'm outta here. hopefully Hardy will be more sucessful with me
[05:51] <tritium> ragas: English, please
[05:51] <redwyrm> hi. I'm trying to install the DOM inspector for Firefox 3.0b5. It shows up as installed in Synaptic, but I don't see it in any menu in Firefox, nor is it listed as installed in the Add-Ins window.  I tried to install it via the Add-Ins window, but I got an error saying that it was incompatible. I found nothing about this error using Google. Please help! :(
[05:51] <bijur> In-Sane``: i aint no expert, but i dont see any errors here in these two.
[05:51] <Starnestommy> Travis: is that workstation running an ssh server?
[05:51] <ragas> എടാ കൊപ്പെന്മാരെ
[05:51] <bijur> Are u launching ff as root?
[05:51] <In-Sane``> bijur: i think you
[05:51] <redwyrm> bijur, who, me?
[05:51] <michael_> ragas: funky
[05:51] <tenX> yit4s: well its a nice start for people being scared of banning their windows system but why not going the whole way?
[05:51] <bijur> redwyrm: no In sane
[05:51] <michael_> rag
[05:51] <administrator> one more question ....How about wireless????
[05:51] <redwyrm> bijur, I don't understand you
[05:51] <bijur> redwyrm: i meant not u m but In-Sane``
[05:52] <In-Sane``> bijur: i think you're right, because i didn't get any errors with my xorg before
[05:52] <michael_> ragas: anata wa nihon jin desu ka?
[05:52] <x1> Hi...  I'm a newb and I have a possibly stupid question... how do I upgrade from 7.10 to 8.04?
[05:52] <jjoyner> Neuro2112:  i wanted to show off "Write fire to screen" and I made the left click be the initiate fire basically and it erased the other keybind, where as I thought it would just add it instead of erase it
[05:52] <redwyrm> bijur, understood, sorry.
[05:52] <administrator> can I connect wireless so far it seems inosible
[05:52] <Outburst> could you please confirm that I need to modify /etc/fstab to auto mount a partition at startup time? I'm using SimpleBackup and since doesn't find the mount point it crashes.
[05:52] <tenX> yit4s: and i say "scary" because i am always careful when it comes to windoze
[05:52] <bijur> redwyrm: my mistake :)
[05:52] <Starnestommy> x1: use the Updata Manager, or install 8.04 over 7.10
[05:52] <michael_> thanks all, see you later!
[05:52] <DJ_Cranky> x1 http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/upgrading
[05:52] <Neuro2112> jjoyner:  I'm not sure how to move that back, but this looks promising and it may help you bind buittons later http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=219894
[05:52] <redwyrm> bijur, you wouldn't happen to know anything about my problem, would you? :P
[05:52] <In-Sane``> bijur: thanks for trying. i appreciate it :)
[05:52] <Starnestommy> x1: I think there's also a way to do it with the alternate 8.04 cd that doesn't require reinstalling
[05:52] <jjoyner> Neuro2112:  i don't care a thing about those nice graphics and the one time i want to show them off, this happens :(
[05:52] <Travis> i'll try to explain better: several computers on the LAN have SSH installed. I need to know how to connect over the public IP address assigned to the modem to the private IP addresses assigned by the router to each terminal.
[05:52] <kushal05212008> the only problem I came up with was when the computer stalled in the middle of installing vlc, I decided to do a hard reboot, and I had to manually empty a temporary folder using rm * in terminal
[05:52] <bijur> administrator: a good combination of wpa_supplicant and wpa_gui wud get u there
[05:53] <x1> Ok, I'll take a look, thanks
[05:53] <bijur> In-Sane`` : no problemo :)
[05:53] <x1> Yeah, I was hoping there was a way that would avoid reinstalling
[05:53] <tenX> how about vmware-server, are their finally working packages out for 8.04?
[05:53] <yit4s> tenX: i'm not scared banning windows. it's just that i'm scared when no windows is running on on my computer :D beside, i cant set up computer without GUI
[05:53] <administrator> I got 8.4 no succes on wireless
[05:53] <Starnestommy> Travis: use a vpn, or forward different ports on the modem/router to each computer on the lan
[05:53] <bijur> administrator: if its not oo much trouble cud u shorten ur name pls?
[05:54] <bijur> administrator: which wireless card?
[05:54] <nomasteryoda> !tell administrator about wireless
[05:54] <Starnestommy> bijur: you could use tab completion
[05:54] <Travis> alright. thanks!
[05:54] <DJ_Cranky> !wifi
[05:54] <tenX> yit4s: of course that is a step. but afaik you can setup a linux system without a lot of knowledge
[05:54] <bijur> Starnestommy: wicked
[05:54] <bullgard4> What is the effect of a line "LANGUAGE="de_DE:de:en_GB:en" in /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale?
[05:54] <bijur> Starnestommy: is this a client feature?
[05:54] <redwyrm> administrator, type this: /nick admin
[05:54] <Starnestommy> bijur: it is
[05:54] <yit4s> tenX: then i guess Wubi is the best way.
[05:54] <bijur> Starnestommy: i love erc ! :)
[05:54] <zChris> how do i force a unmount? i want to change cd
[05:54] <kushal05212008> yit4s, i would recommend doing a wubi install or testing liveCD first
[05:55] <Starnestommy> bijur: most clients have it
[05:55] <bijur> zChris: do as root!
[05:55] <DJ_Cranky> zChris you do not need to force a cd to unmount, just eject it
[05:55] <bijur> zChris: u'd still have to find the pgms accessing it and kill em
[05:55] <bijur> DJ_Cranky: cant eject if not unmounted
[05:55] <kushal05212008> I have had my share of problems when I first installed SuSE on a windows computer (it was then my only computer)
[05:55] <yit4s> kushal05212008: i did LiveCD and i'm on wubi. Wubi rocks!
[05:55] <tenX> yit4s: watch for my query. i am thankful for everyone that tries linux but a half a$$ installation can't be the way imho
[05:55] <administrator> I got a trendnet wireless card
[05:56] <bijur> yit4s: whats wubi?
[05:56] <administrator> which works great with windows
[05:56] <DJ_Cranky> !wubi
[05:56] <kushal05212008> yit4s, do you think wubi is slow for you?
[05:56] <administrator> don t know what s hapening here
[05:56] <zChris> bijur: i dont want to kill samba , the thing is that i have my cdrom in the server, and mounted it as Z: on the windows. Then im trying to install a game with multiple cds, but i cant change cd since its in use
[05:56] <Neuro2112> jjoyner: which buttons are crossed now?
[05:56] <Starnestommy> administrator: you might need to use ndiswrapper and the windows driver for your wireless card
[05:56] <Neuro2112> jjoyner: left to right?
[05:56] <bijur> administrator: see first if u have the drivers for trendnet, simply google for ubuntu trendnet wireless driver
[05:56] <tell> what's up with Hardy/PulseAudio only playing audio from a single application?
[05:57] <blizzardman1219> i'm trying to configure wpa supplicant to work, and i'm having problems. as i understand it when i type the "sudo wpa_supplicant -Bw -Dwext -i wlan1 -c/etc/wpa_supplicant.conf" it's supposed to connect to my network but its not doing anything. when i attach -dd at the end of that this is what i get: http://paste.ubuntu.com/14448/
[05:57] <bijur> administrator: get back to us once thats installed and loaded
[05:57] <yit4s> kushal05212008: never been on a real Ubuntu partition but it is faster than LiveCD of course. it's just that it takes double amount of time of windows for booting
[05:57] <jjoyner> Neuro2112:  it isn't that they are crossed, it is that neither function properly just with a mouse click
[05:57] <jjoyner> Neuro2112:  as if i wanted to click on a link, i would have to hold shift AND left click
[05:57] <DJ_Cranky> yit4s yes, wubi typically has slow reboots as better virtual disk processes start after boot
[05:57] <bijur> blizzardman1219: dude, are u familiar with wpa_supplicant?
[05:58] <blizzardman1219> bijur: no, i'm not
[05:58] <bijur> blizzardman1219: if not install a package called wpagui
[05:58] <Neuro2112> jjoyner: ooh.. that is bad.. maybe you can get a weight for the shift key?
[05:58] <yit4s> kushal05212008: and Amarok works great like a charm. my family wants it on their windows
[05:58] <Neuro2112> jjoyner: :)
[05:58] <jjoyner> Neuro2112:  the same goes with anything that should just require left click, i have to hold one of those 3 i listed
[05:58] <bijur> blizzardman1219: also create ur /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file
[05:58] <jjoyner> Neuro2112:  haha, i'm pretty pissed at myself for being so careless
[05:58] <blizzardman1219> bijur: do you have a link to wpagui?
[05:58] <zChris> bijur: is there no fix ? :(
[05:59] <blizzardman1219> bijur: i already have a wpa_supplicant.conf file
[05:59] <yit4s> DJ_Cranky: just wondering, does the ubuntu's performance is the same as on wubi and normal partition? except the boot time
[05:59] <DJ_Cranky> blizzardman1219 install it from synaptic package manager
[05:59] <kushal05212008> yit4s, I don't remember ever using amorak
[05:59] <administrator> bijur thanks I ll install those divers I guess I forgot that this ain t windows it wont pick up the drivers automatically
[05:59] <bijur> blizzardman1219: and have the update_config=1 in that file
[05:59] <administrator> thanks
[05:59] <blizzardman1219> DJ_Cranky: i would if i could, but i don't have an internet connection on my ubuntu computer
[05:59] <tritium> administrator: most drivers *are* loaded automatically
[05:59] <bijur> blizzardman1219: then use the wpa_gui tool to scan for networks and connect
[05:59] <astro76> zChris: sudo fuser -vkim /media/cdrom
[05:59] <tritium> administrator: much more so than on windows, certainly
[06:00] <yit4s> kushal05212008: it doesnt come with ubuntu by default. you have to install it via synaptic or add/remove
[06:00] <DJ_Cranky> yit4s wubi performs about 90% disk speed for reads/writes to hard drives, but besides HDD everything performs full speed, this is because wubi uses a virtual disk image that runs below the ubuntu kernel
[06:00] <kushal05212008> administrator: i did not install a single dirver manually on this toshiba satellite m55-s135
[06:00] <bijur> administrator: dude, in windows also , u have to install drivers for every device on the machine, for some windows ships with drivers and in a world where devices are increasing, thats one of the reasons why ur windows installation is so f%$%#ing huge
[06:00] <kushal05212008> * driver
[06:00] <blizzardman1219> bijur: i would much rather have wpagui then wpa_supplicant but i have no way to install it with synaptic package manager considering that i don't have an internet connection which is why i'm here in the first place
[06:01] <bijur> blizzardman1219: try apt-get
[06:01] <yit4s> DJ_Cranky: so i guess i'm getting the full feature of ubuntu on wubi, isnt it?
[06:01] <bijur> blizzardman1219: apt-get install wpagui
[06:01] <Dr_willis> administrator,  i find that with linux - it has 90+% of the drivers i need for any random machine.. Other then the Video card, and wireless card.. theres very few drivers ive ever had to install.
[06:01] <kushal05212008> can we talk about deCSS or is it forbidden here?
[06:01] <tritium> bijur: if he doesn't have a network connection, apt-get won't work either
[06:01] <DJ_Cranky> yit4s yes, just slightly slower reads/writes to your filesystem, however remember secondary hard drives and external drives run full speed
[06:02] <tritium> !medibuntu | kushal05212008
[06:02] <DJ_Cranky> yit4s only the virtual disk is slower,
[06:02] <Dr_willis> kushal05212008,  whats to talk about. :)    its in the unofficial repos.
[06:02] <bijur> tritium: he doesnt have a network,?? he asked me for alink , so i assumed he has internet
[06:02] <tritium> bijur: read what he said
[06:02] <kushal05212008> tritum, I am connected to the Internet
[06:02] <blizzardman1219> bijur: it says "couldn't find package wpagui"
[06:03] <bijur> blizzardman1219: oh sorry. try adding the multiverse, restricted repos and apt-get update and try again
[06:03] <jjoyner> Neuro2112:  thanks for the help, i'm logging

[06:03] <DJ_Cranky> NETWizz hmm, lets see if we can help you
[06:04]  * bijur claims he'll be right back!
[06:04] <promet> when I "nmap localhost" it shows a range of ports, but not all I have opened
[06:04] <yit4s> argh! why my DNS keeps changing??

[06:04] <DJ_Cranky> NETWizz https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/BluRayAndHDDVD
[06:04] <promet> and the services I am trying to use are not working on those corresponding ports
[06:05] <Neuro2112> jjoyner: is your mouse a "MouseManPlus"?
[06:06] <blizzardman1219> bijur: what? i have no idea what you just said... i'm a major newb
[06:06] <kushal05212008> I just installed it

[06:07] <yit4s> DNS setting is really getting to my nerves |)
[06:08] <tritium> yit4s: why are you configuring DNS?
[06:08] <rodolfo> OK I go a question: what should I do??? running into java issues. i can't start up a java-based-app. more detail @ http://paste.ubuntu.com/14451/
[06:08] <Neuro2112> jjoyner: this miight help you along, http://ftp.x.org/pub/X11R6.9.0/doc/html/mouse7.html
[06:08] <bobsomebody> the geforce 8400 pulled through finally and got dual head going, the progblem seems to be one of the old CRT's im using. It didnt dawn on me until i realised THAT moniter has been floating around the office since 98....
[06:09] <Neuro2112> g'night all
[06:09] <bobsomebody> bobfail lol, alrighty im out
[06:09] <Nehal> is there a way to load a module, then immediately unload that module at startup... my wireless card will only work if i load and unload the b43 module, then load the ndiswrapper module.... (weird, i know) ... might have something to do with the fact that i'm using 64-bit ubuntu.
[06:09] <yit4s> tritium: i just need DNS servers enter to access my internet on firefox. it keeps changing to <IP_ADDRESS> (the router). i dont have trouble with this on windows
[06:10] <tritium> yit4s: which router do you have?
[06:10] <oc80z> hey i got a
[06:11] <kushal05212008> thank you once again and have a great day
[06:11] <yit4s> tritium: D-Link something... i'm connected to my neighbour's router. the point is why Ubuntu keeps changing it??
[06:11] <tritium> yit4s: you know how to configure dhcp3-client to prepend your servers, right?
[06:11] <bullgard4> What programs use /etc/environment and /etc/default/locale?
[06:11] <NETWizz> DJ Crankey
[06:11] <chaitat> hello ... i upgrade postgresql from 8.2 to 8.3 but the info on "services settings" still shows 8.2?
[06:11] <NETWizz> I have been to that site
[06:12] <tritium> yit4s: it could be on the router side, which is why I asked.
[06:12] <yit4s> tritium: i did just now. but i dont think it is working or i might set it up wrongly
[06:12] <NETWizz> I have Gusty Gibbon.  What do I install to support DRM and UDF to play a blue ray?
[06:12] <yit4s> tritium: like i said, i dont have any problem on windows, connected to the same router on the same laptop
[06:12] <tritium> yit4s: you could configure the dhcp client, or you could set yourself up to use OpenDNS.
[06:12] <tritium> yit4s: but then again, you shouldn't be stealing from your neighbor, either
[06:12] <corevette> what are common keyboard shortcuts to get to the BIOS?
[06:13] <yit4s> tritium: maybe you could show me how to set up the dhclient?
[06:13] <yit4s> tritium: it's his fault. he never turns off his router and put a WEP key
[06:14] <NETWizz> WHat is DumpHD?
[06:14] <NETWizz> I do not want to decrypt the movie
[06:14] <tritium> yit4s: no, don't give me that.  Take responsibility for your actions.

[06:14] <olrind> hi
[06:14] <ricemark20> bash scripting, anyone?
[06:15] <dmsuperman> I know I know, this isn't exactly on-topic, but I feel that all of us who actually care about copyright laws should see this, learn about it, and contact somebody about it: http://youtube.com/watch?v=CqBZd0cP5Yc Please view it (not my video, don't accuse me of advertising :P)
[06:15] <ricemark20> I got an easy question
[06:15] <GPabel> dmsuperman: what you mean with that ?
[06:15] <hacksilber> hey, how can i make an application launcher that runs a program and has its terminal window open?
[06:16] <olrind> sorry, english is not my native language. I have a problem whit ndiswrapper. when I do : make, I have the following error : fix it to use EXTRA_CFLAGS
[06:16] <dmsuperman> GPabel, watch the video, it's about the orphan works bill
[06:16] <stiv2k> is there a way I can reconfigure my dovecot-server thru dpkg? For example, it says my snakeoil certificate is expired.
[06:16] <yit4s> tritium: anyway, can you help me solve my DNS problem? i also need this on other router back in my room. it's kinda part of the ISP's config which i dont know why
[06:16] <GPabel> ok
[06:16]  * bijur is back!
[06:17] <NETWizz> how do I play hd dvd
[06:17] <NETWizz> I am sorry blue ray
[06:17] <NETWizz> I want to play it not rip it
[06:17] <tritium> !enter | NETWizz (for the second time)
[06:17] <tritium> yit4s: man dhclient.conf, and you'll see prepend and supersede options.  Look at those for entering the DNS server addresses.
[06:18] <sjdurfey> how do i determine the mount point of my dvd drive?
[06:18] <stiv2k> WHy does it say the package ssl-cert has been kept back?
[06:18] <ricemark20> how do I read a bash argument without having to hit enter twice?
[06:18] <blizzardman1219> can someone help me install wpa-gui without an internet connection?
[06:19] <tritium> blizzardman1219: you can't, as you need to fetch the package from the repos
[06:19] <stiv2k> blizzardman1219: perhaps you could download the package from a different machine and use a flash drive.
[06:19] <blizzardman1219> tritium: so there's no other way to do it?
[06:20] <blizzardman1219> stiv2k: i've tried that, but it says something about the "dependency not being satisfiable"
[06:20] <tritium> blizzardman1219: you can use another machine, and transfer it, as stiv2k suggests
[06:20] <bruce_> How do I go about getting my usb joypad to work in ubuntu?
[06:20] <stiv2k> blizzardman1219: you need to get its dependencies too.
[06:20] <blizzardman1219> stiv2k: how do i find out what it's dependencies are?
[06:21] <tritium> blizzardman1219: apt-cache depends wpagui
[06:21] <stiv2k> blizzardman1219: ^
[06:21] <HappyHater> when I switch over to kde from gnome, the screenlets that I run appear in the panel, how do I get them to not show?
[06:21] <CaptainMorgan> has anyone got the firefox web developer add-on to install, using 3.0b5 ?
[06:21] <sjdurfey> how do i determine the mount point of my dvd drive?
[06:21] <stiv2k> sjdurfey: does /etc/fstab have anything relevant?
[06:21] <CaptainMorgan> is it a product of 8.04 or my core 2 duo arch that it will not install ?
[06:22] <bruce_> It's a logitech dual action if that helps...
[06:22] <sjdurfey> stiv2k: nope
[06:22] <R2r> hi i just got my 20 cd's form ubuntu ship it i wnat to istall them without repartioning my internal hard drive but i can partition my external hard drive can i do that??

[06:25] <Flannel> !install | r2r
[06:25] <dmsuperman> GPabel, yeah. I figured, if any group would be the perfect group to alert it would be the linux group :P
[06:25] <GPabel> god bless us
[06:25] <dmsuperman> There will be an uproar
[06:25] <wendys> join #cuba
[06:25] <GPabel> could be
[06:27] <r2r> i want to know can i partition my external hard drive with linux filesystems but install to a windows partion??
[06:27] <r2r> also can i run ubuntu with no gui smoothly on a 256mb ram 1.4ghz system
[06:27] <EvolutionXtinct> does anyone know when 8.10 will be available for use?
[06:28] <Nrbelex> !xubuntu | r2r
[06:28] <tritium> EvolutionXtinct: in October, of course
[06:28] <friedtofu> r2r: use wubi to install ubuntu first - and then use gparted to format the external hardrive
[06:28] <Flannel> EvolutionXtinct: Sometime a few months before october.  Try #ubuntu+1.  You can technically already use it.
[06:28] <r2r> ok then can i hibernate
[06:28] <friedtofu> eh... i doubt you can hibernate if you use wubi...
[06:28] <friedtofu> why cant you use a dedicated partition?
[06:29] <r2r> i wnat the mbr and /boot partition on my har drive(internal)
[06:29] <EvolutionXtinct> oh ok... cuz someone said its available in like 2 weeks for early testing...
[06:29] <friedtofu> ahuh....
[06:29] <tritium> EvolutionXtinct: you can test early, yes.  The actual release is in Oct.
[06:29] <mzuverink> could some one refresh my memory regarding the whole command "dpkg-reconfigur xserver..."
[06:29] <Flannel> EvolutionXtinct: ask in #ubuntu+1 please, its offtopic here.
[06:29] <friedtofu> dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[06:29] <mzuverink> thanks
[06:30] <GPabel> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
