[19:41] <nickrud> c0nka, I'd try suse first
[19:41] <glontu> Creationist: well that's not cool
[19:41] <Creationist> glontu: That's what I thought.  It should be the other way around if anything.
[19:41] <c0nka> nickrud: do you need a dvd disk
[19:41] <c0nka> nickrud: or cd
[19:41] <qwaz> Creationist: http://img183.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotjn1.png
[19:42] <T1m0thy> !fsck
[19:42] <ubotu> fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo shutdown -F -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot
[19:42] <Dr_willis> I think the live-desktop cd - has more 'agressive' auto configuration/loading of modules.
[19:42] <nickrud> c0nka, cd is available
[19:42] <c0nka> ok
[19:42] <c0nka> nickrud: whats the site
[19:42] <Creationist> qwaz: Have  you tried using a different video player?  Or checking the VLC settings for playback?
[19:42] <nickrud> c0nka, http://en.opensuse.org/Released_Version
[19:43] <vile_maxim> Anyway to do USB printing on a guest OS in xen?

[19:45] <toni_> graabein, no you can also suspend desktop if you need
[19:45] <sobersabre> toni_:  it is normal.
[19:45] <c0nka> nickrud: what if that dont work
[19:45] <c0nka> nickrud: whats better kde or gnome
[19:46] <ChrisULM> thats up to the individual
[19:46] <sobersabre> you cannot set dma it is not normal.
[19:46] <s[VV]itch> i like gnome
[19:46] <graabein> toni_, ok i think i loose network connection when the screensaver kicks in but i'm not sure
[19:46] <ChrisULM> <-- gnome
[19:46] <Jukes> Hi guys and girls is anyone here hot on GNOME?
[19:46] <toni_> HDIO_SET_DMA failed: Inappropriate ioctl for device , this is what i get :)
[19:46] <sobersabre> s[VV]itch: I sometimes like beer.
[19:46] <sobersabre> belgian, barbar.
[19:47] <c0nka> can you change from kde to gnome or gnome to kde
[19:47] <ChrisULM> yup
[19:47] <nickrud> c0nka, I've always used gnome, I'm just set in my ways. Try both
[19:47] <toni_> graabein, it sounds strange
[19:47] <sobersabre> Jukes: what do you need ?

[19:47] <s[VV]itch> :)
[19:47] <rexy> c0nka: yeah you can select what type you want in gdm or kdm
[19:47] <sobersabre> s[VV]itch: why have you put me inside < > ?
[19:47] <graabein> toni_, i need something to reconnect me without having to restart cause logout-login don't solve it
[19:47] <toni_> graabein, reconnect with?

[19:48] <s[VV]itch> Romanian Russian
[19:48] <sobersabre> :)
[19:48] <graabein> toni_, lol i've done that. i mean reconnect to wireless/internet when i loose connection
[19:48] <sobersabre> toni_: kullo quaiss ? :)
[19:48] <c0nka> ?/?
[19:48] <Jukes> sobersabre: I've had a look through the reference material but I need someone to explain a few things about GNOME to me, particularly what we as an end user see's of GNOME
[19:48] <unravel> c0nka: i'd go with 32bit unless you have a 64 bit box and need support for 4+GB Ram...  ppc if you have a ppc. if you have to ask, you probably dont have a ppc3
[19:49] <graabein> toni_, i found something on the forums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=567895
[19:49] <toni_> sobersabre, na'm :)

[19:49] <sobersabre> :) tislam inte. min wenn ?
[19:49] <toni_> graabein, let me read... on my laptop with screensaver it keep it open

[19:50] <toni_> sobersabre, min italia, inti?
[19:50] <c0nka> pc
[19:50] <HashBox> hey guys sorry if this seems like a dumb question, but can I somehow change my hostname depending on which network im connecting to?
[19:50] <sobersabre> Jukes: i don't understand your question.
[19:50] <c0nka> unravel: pc
[19:50] <graabein> c0nka, you've probably have gnome if you've got standard ubuntu
[19:50] <unravel> c0nka: and yer in... windows right now?
[19:50] <sobersabre> shuftaq min italia, ana min israel.
[19:50] <c0nka> yeah
[19:50] <th0r> HashBox you can change the hostname easily enough...but I don't think you can link it to a specific network
[19:50] <c0nka> unravel: yeah
[19:50] <HashBox> th0r: true, maybe I can make a script to do it somehow :P oh well thanks :)
[19:50] <unravel> c0nka: you can Start Menu > Control Panel > System  ...   the screen will give you info about processor and RAM, IIRC... But really, go with 32bit
[19:51] <sobersabre> ....long silence....
[19:51] <ChrisULM> 32bit ftw
[19:51] <toni_> sobersabre, great :)  ana adrusu fil madrasati al arab :)
[19:51] <unravel> c0nka: 32 bit will be easier, and really, if you dont need support for huge amounts of RAM, it's your best bet
[19:52] <sobersabre> ah, ana ... adrusu fil bazar al arab
[19:52] <c0nka> unravel: it says amd athlon 64 processor 3200+
[19:52] <sobersabre> :)
[19:52] <toni_> :)
[19:52] <sobersabre> gadesh bandora ? :)
[19:52] <unravel> it can, from what i understand, be a pain to get flash/java/stuff working under 64 bit, especially for new users.
[19:52] <unravel> and 32 bit will run fine on your box
[19:52] <toni_> bandora?
[19:52] <jatt> no
[19:53] <sobersabre> bandora = tomatoes.

[19:57] <ryan> Any recommendations for video editing software?
[19:57] <unravel> T1m0thy: honestly i'm not sure,  but i'd try mounting the drive read only fsck /dev/sda1 or whatever.  man fsck or fsck --help will probably be more helpful than i am :T
[19:57] <Jukes> I've seen themes that change the colour and size of the bars at the top and bottom of the screen, the icons etc. But I want to rip the bars out and make them into something else instead, and make things transparent and redesign menus
[19:57] <craig54321> I visited the link you guys provided, and i though i followed the directions, nothing worked, is there an easy way to get ubuntu to recognize my wireless card?
[19:57] <Assid> err.. the release has some issues
[19:57] <T1m0thy> unravel: Yeah, I did man fsck I just don't want to pick the wrong things.
[19:58] <graabein> Jukes, right click panel (menu bars) to set size and transparency etc
[19:58] <sobersabre> toni_: multo grazie :) bon apetitto
[19:58] <Assid> for example when you enable ntfs support for read/write, you gotta copy the hal files over t another location and then it starts working
[19:58] <hey-hey> could someone help me with xubuntu mine wont startup
[19:58] <Assid> can someone please mark that part of the update
[19:58] <hey-hey> *boot
[19:58] <unravel> T1m0thy: okay, i will take a peek and see if i can come up with a useful answer :P
[19:58] <sobersabre> Jukes: can you write what you want from GNOME ?
[19:58] <Jukes> I want to build my own GUI, is it possible to use GNOME to do that or would I have to get to work making something similar to GNOME to do it
[19:58] <white_eagle> can ubuntu be ran on an EEE pc?
[19:58] <unravel> Assid: which release?
[19:59] <Assid> unravel:  latest
[19:59] <Odd-rationale> white_eagle: Yes.
[19:59] <white_eagle> with compiz
[19:59] <Dr_willis> white_eagle,  yes. i saw an artical on that the other day
[19:59] <Assid> i tried it on my sisters' laptop
[19:59] <sobersabre> Jukes: do you mean you want to change colors, fonts, icons etc. ?
[19:59] <Dr_willis> white_eagle,  compiz? get real... :)
[19:59] <unravel> Assid: hare you talking hardy? or gutsy?
[19:59] <Odd-rationale> white_eagle: Yes. Compiz
[19:59] <Assid> gutsy
[19:59] <Jukes> I'm not talking about changing the colours of windows and such, I want to take the whole thing to bits and rebuild it how I want it
[19:59] <sean> what do I need to install to have Lsongs play mp3s?
[19:59] <white_eagle> oh, I should def. get an EEE
[19:59] <Dr_willis> http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/12/28/tips-on-installing-ubuntu-710-to-the-eeepc/
[19:59] <white_eagle> then
[19:59] <sobersabre> Jukes: do you know how gnome is built ?
[19:59] <unravel> Assid: you may want to report it as a bug on launchpad, if you ran into that
[20:00] <white_eagle> why do Linus hate GNOME?
[20:00] <unravel> but you're the first i've heard of having that issue
[20:00] <Assid> its reported.. no one did a thing
[20:00] <unravel> brb
[20:00] <Kremlin[NA]> Can someone explain to me how I install java on ubuntu?
[20:00] <Odd-rationale> white_eagle: I want one so badly, too
[20:00] <sobersabre> Jukes: I mean the framewords and libraries GNOME uses ?
[20:00] <Jukes> partly, I want to change some of the hotkeys as well but more over I want to get rid of the bars at the top and bottom of the screen and replace them with something else
[20:00] <Assid> white_eagle: the older release was umm.. bloated
[20:00] <sean> what do I need to install to have Lsongs play mp3s?
[20:00] <Dr_willis> white_eagle,  eeeXubuntu is a custom version of the Xubuntu 7.10 Live CD   - ubvuntu specific disrto for the EEE :)
[20:00] <hey-hey> can soemone tell me why ubuntu hangs on boot?
[20:00] <Assid> atleast thats what i read
[20:00] <sulle> Why r my xorg Fked up time after time. and now i cant get it fixed. =(
[20:00] <Dr_willis> http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:home
[20:00] <Assid> hey-hey:  wait for 5 mins and see if it boots
[20:00] <white_eagle> Dr_willis: nah, I want gnome
[20:00] <navreet> anyone know how I can play flac files in xmms?
[20:00] <sobersabre> Kremlin[NA]: you have 2 ways: simple download and install where you want, and then define the JAVA_HOME, JRE_HOME and PATH.
[20:00] <Assid> i think you have some other issue
[20:00] <Jukes> I read the reference material, but like I said I need someone to run through it with me I didnt understand it all
[20:00] <sulle> I cant fix my resulution in "System".....
[20:00] <sobersabre> or Debian way.
[20:00] <Shel> anyone else having problems with gutsy power management? I can't get suspend or hibernate to work... thanks!
[20:00] <Assid> known bug, but i dont see why they didnt roll it out in an update
[20:01] <sobersabre> Jukes: I think you should not be in a hurry.
[20:01] <hey-hey> k ill try for 5 mins then if no luck ill come back
[20:01] <sobersabre> there's a lot of technologies involved.
[20:01] <white_eagle> isn't just the size of the EEE just super cool?
[20:01] <graabein> navreet, have you googled xmms+flac? maybe you need a plugin/extra package for xmms? i don't know
[20:01] <larson9999> i must be the only one who doesn't use suspend or hibernate
[20:01] <Dr_willis> white_eagle,  then apt-get install it...
[20:01] <navreet> graabein, i found a package for xmms2...
[20:01] <white_eagle> :)))
[20:01] <BernardB> What's the standard font of Ubuntu Gutsy?
[20:01] <HeXiLeD> if i just want to install kde without the full kde packages ; what is the package name ? kde-core ? kde-something else?
[20:01] <sean> does anyone know what I need to install to have Lsongs play mp3s?
[20:01] <crimsun> navreet: you'd need to grab an xmms-flac package prior to gutsy.
[20:01] <navreet> graabein, i think there is supposed to be a xmms-flac package
[20:01] <white_eagle> larson9999, you aren't the only one
[20:01] <Jukes> lol I want to do this properly so I'm trying to understand what's doing what, not go rushing into it
[20:02] <sulle> Annyone know why my resolution gets "fukced" after sometime?. And now i cant get it back. Is there annyone that can configure my xorg file for me ?.
[20:02] <Kremlin[NA]> sobersabre: Ok thanks Ill try just download and install.. which version? RPM or norma?
[20:02] <crimsun> navreet: it was disabled in the flac source package so that we could demote xmms to universe.
[20:02] <navreet> crimsun, how come it isn't in the current distribution?
[20:02] <astro76> !language | sulle
[20:02] <ubotu> sulle: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family friendly.
[20:02] <sobersabre> Jukes: and you should look at GNOME. gnome architecture, from project documentation.
[20:02] <navreet> crimsun, hmm
[20:02] <sobersabre> Kremlin[NA]: no, not the RPM, the .bin package.

[20:08] <white_eagle> ah I will spend the whole new year eve in this channel

[20:09] <qwaz> why is this channel turning into "man <package>"
[20:09] <ActySofts> no idea :)
[20:09] <ikonia> qwaz: it's not
[20:09] <x3roconf> small 'find' tutorial http://www.hccfl.edu/pollock/Unix/FindCmd.htm
[20:10] <qwaz> ulsiruf is asking a very specific question about finding regex and his response was "man find"
[20:10] <astro76> qwaz, one person does not a channel make
[20:10] <sobersabre> I don't know what is jnlp.
[20:10] <Dr_willis> ikonia,  can it tell if a picutre us porn? if i search for 'xxx' ? :)
[20:10] <ikonia> Dr_willis: metainfo,.....maybe.
[20:10] <Kremlin[NA]> sobersabre: .jnlp - some java file
[20:10] <ActySofts> sirAndrew: the flash plug-in installation is broken, try installing Gnash
[20:10] <qwaz> astro76: you're right...im jumping the gun and making a generalization...sorry
[20:10] <x-X-x> sobersabre what do i enter in terminal to install .asoundrc ?
[20:10] <ikonia> qwaz: that was just ignorance by 1 yser
[20:10] <ikonia> user
[20:10] <Dr_willis> ikonia,  saw a neat tool once that  could sort of look at pictures and sort them based on well magic i guess. :)  people in one, landscapes in another.
[20:10] <astro76> ulsiruf, grep pattern ./*
[20:11] <sobersabre> x-X-x: .asoundrc is ALSA user configuration.
[20:11] <sobersabre> it is kept in ~/.asoundrc
[20:11] <ActySofts> I can't get Banshee to play anything (mostly OGG Vorbis) and I don't see why it wouldn't. Any ideas? (sound works, and Amarok plays fine, so I bet it's a problem with Banshee itself)
[20:11] <sobersabre> I mean the location, it is a file. you need to refer to ALSA docs on how to prepare what you need.
[20:11] <Kremlin[NA]> sobersabre: I got it .. googled and came up this this: right-click , run with custom command : javaws
[20:11] <|Quest|> need help pretty badly... any nice guy. who can guide me to run me pci alpha tv tuner. ?
[20:11] <x-X-x> sobersabre then how do i play two audio streams at the same time ?
[20:11] <Kremlin[NA]> sobersabre: Thanks for your great help
[20:12] <ulsiruf> astro76: thanks!
[20:12] <ActySofts> x-X-x: ESD?
[20:12] <sobersabre> x-X-x: what player are you using ?
[20:12] <hey-hey> now it hangs at the startup progress bar
[20:12] <hey-hey> at about 80%
[20:12] <sobersabre> ActySofts: come on, there's jackd around.
[20:12] <sirAndrew> ActySofts, i think i installed both :-|
[20:13] <ActySofts> x-X-x: you could set one to oss, other to alsa  & install alsa-oss
[20:13] <x-X-x> if i play something with vlc i cant play soemthing with xine media player at the same time or if i play something in a media player i cant listen to enemy territory at the same time
[20:13] <sobersabre> x-X-x: don't do this :)
[20:13] <ActySofts> sirAndrew: uninstall the ordinary one, as 2 plug-ins of the same type will generate conflicts
[20:13] <jeezers> hey, can someone give me a list of packages i cud install to spice up my ubuntu? am kinda new to this. . .
[20:13] <sirAndrew> ok let me check
[20:13] <sobersabre> x-X-x: does enemy territory use ALSA device or /dev/pcm ?
[20:13] <ActySofts> sobersabre: ESD is installed by def & it works for me
[20:14] <Joelito> hi all, what's the name of the default image-viewer in ubuntu?
[20:14] <x-X-x> how do i check  sobersabre ?
[20:14] <sobersabre> ActySofts: it gives a hell of latency.
[20:14] <sobersabre> and it's dead.
[20:14] <sobersabre> :)
[20:14] <hey-hey> could someone tell me why mu box hangs on booting?
[20:14] <hey-hey> *my
[20:14] <jeezers> hey, can someone give me a list of packages i cud install to spice up my ubuntu? am kinda new to this. . . someone??
[20:14] <sobersabre> hey-hey: are you sure it hangs ?
[20:14] <ActySofts> I doubt x-X-x needs to the nanosecond latency
[20:14] <ActySofts> I can't get Banshee to play anything (mostly OGG Vorbis) and I don't see why it wouldn't. Any ideas? (sound works, and Amarok plays fine, so I bet it's a problem with Banshee itself)
[20:15] <Lagginator> Where can I find a list of apt-get servers?
[20:15] <hey-hey> sobersabre: its been at 80% on the startup progress bar for ages
[20:15] <white_eagle> just heard that netscape will be abandoned :(((((((
[20:15] <sobersabre> hey-hey: try diabling the graphical screen, on boot, choose the line and press 'e'

[20:17] <T1m0thy> I am running the LiveCD and need to know the command and options to run a fsck on /dev/sda1 and fix errors.
[20:17] <sobersabre> I have had a graphic card with this string.
[20:17] <Joelito> what's the name of the default image viewer in ubuntu?
[20:17] <sobersabre> voodoo banshee.
[20:17] <sobersabre> :)
[20:17] <jake4d1> flare183: I'll try that
[20:17] <Flare183> jake4d1: ok
[20:17] <ActySofts> Flare183: you could add something like this after the command: > *user* OR | *user*
[20:17] <sobersabre> ActySofts: what is the problem with banshee player ?
[20:17] <ActySofts> it doesn't play anything
[20:17] <Flare183> ActySofts: I know
[20:17] <sobersabre> ActySofts: when you run it in terminal, do you have any errors ?
[20:17] <ActySofts> but amarok works fine, as everything else
[20:18] <Flare183> tom1979: brand name?
[20:18] <ActySofts> let's see
[20:18] <tom1979> Flare183 its atheros
[20:18] <Dr_willis> T1m0thy,  if its not mounted ' sudo fsck /dev/sda1'
[20:18] <x-X-x> sobersabre does that mean that alsa does not supports multiple audio streams ???
[20:18] <sobersabre> ActySofts: does the player have configuration window ?
[20:18] <sobersabre> x-X-x: no.
[20:18] <sobersabre> the oposite.
[20:18] <VSpike> T1m0thy, sudo fsck -r /dev/sda1
[20:18] <ActySofts> sobersabre: no errors, and yes
[20:18] <Joelito> anyone?
[20:19] <x-X-x> i have a built in soundcard on my inspiron 6400/e1505
[20:19] <sobersabre> but with .asoundrc you can make program think you have 2 cards. one for game, one for player.
[20:19] <Flare183> Joelito: I'm thinking
[20:19] <tom1979> Flare183 05:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc. AR5006EG 802.11 b/g Wireless PCI Express Adapter (rev 01)
[20:19] <hey-hey> how do i go from the command line to the gui?
[20:19] <Karyom> Has Someone tried to run Apple Prorramms on Linux with MAC-on-Linux
[20:19] <T1m0thy> Thank you Dr_willis and VSpike.
[20:19] <jake4d1> flare183: /dev/fd0 is not a valid block device.
[20:19] <trakinas> hello! Im having troubles with the flashpluing on my gutsy amd 64
[20:19] <ActySofts> sobersabre, and there's nothing in there about playback :(
[20:19] <sobersabre> ActySofts: you run the program via terminal, and you're opening a file, and trying to play ?
[20:19] <trakinas> After installing and going to about:plugnis nothing is shown.
[20:19] <ActySofts> sobersabre: yes, I get only debug output, lemme paste it
[20:20] <nothing0> So Im setting up ubuntu on my laptop and cant get my linksys wireless card to work....the hardware profile shows it as "Airgo Networks Inc AGN300 802.11 a/b/g True MIMO Wireless Card" and not as the linksys it should...when I goto network settings there is only modem and wired connection listed....anyone have any insight?
[20:20] <Flare183> jake4d1: well look in the /dev folder and you can probaly find it yourself since i can't look directly at your machine
[20:20] <sobersabre> ActySofts: paste it into some pastebin.
[20:20] <x-X-x> wheres .asoundrc live ?
[20:20] <Flare183> Joelito: it's name has the word eyes in it
[20:21] <hey-hey> sobersabre: i have got it booting to the command line ...
[20:21] <Flare183> Joelito: it's been awhile since i have used gnome, right now I'm using kde
[20:21] <sobersabre> x-X-x: you create it in your home dire.
[20:21] <hey-hey> how do i get it to load the gui?
[20:21] <Flare183> hey-hey: gdm
[20:21] <sobersabre> hey-hey: it will load the gui, but you need to ask the kernel to be verbose.
[20:21] <Karyom> Hello, Has Someone tried to run Apple Programms on Linux with the Programm MAC-on-Linux??!
[20:21] <Joelito> eog?
[20:21] <sobersabre> try both: verbose=1 debug=1

[20:22] <hey-hey> where is that line?
[20:22] <jake4d1> flare183: I just input that command with afloppy disk inside it this time. It mounted, but past that it's worthless. I can't put my windows 2000 boot disk images on it and it claims that there's 3.5k free space on them.
[20:22] <Flare183> Karyom: but yeah tried it didn't like it worked took forever

[20:24] <graabein> hi i have problems with entering root password when adding printer in xfce (xubuntu 7.10) and i know i have the right password
[20:24] <VSpike> T1m0thy, it is ext2/3
[20:24] <sobersabre> ActySofts: so, what's up ?
[20:24] <VSpike> T1m0thy, if so, add -f option
[20:24] <graabein> so i'm guessing there's some ownership on some system file maybe?
[20:25] <x-X-x> sobersabre how do i create it ?
[20:25] <T1m0thy> VSpike, thanks.
[20:25] <ActySofts> sobersabre: did you see my paste?
[20:26] <sobersabre> aye.
[20:26] <ActySofts> then?
[20:26] <ActySofts> any ideas with banshee?
[20:26] <sobersabre> what is chosen for gstreamer-settings ?
[20:26] <hey-hey> sobersabre: how do i add verbose?
[20:26] <sobersabre> you press 'e'
[20:27] <sobersabre> and then you can edit the line.
[20:27] <ActySofts> sobersabre: ?
[20:27] <sobersabre> after you've done, press enter, and to boot press 'b;
[20:27] <hey-hey> when do i press e?
[20:27] <sobersabre> ActySofts: I am thinking...
[20:27] <nothing0> So Im setting up ubuntu on my laptop and cant get my linksys wireless card to work....the hardware profile shows it as "Airgo Networks Inc AGN300 802.11 a/b/g True MIMO Wireless Card" and not as the linksys it should...when I goto network settings there is only modem and wired connection listed....anyone have any insight?  PM me if u have an idea
[20:27] <sobersabre> can you run gstreamer-properties ?
[20:27] <wolferine> i want to switch my ubuntu bx to an XP one again, I have a HD for my main partition, but also, a 500GB of data, which is ext3, can I use a tool in linux to make the 500GB change to NTFS/FAT32 pre-install, or can I use a tool in windows to switch the partition type --- all without losing my data ?
[20:27] <VSpike> T1m0thy, if you need to check the disk itself, you need to look into smartmontools or badblocks command
[20:28] <ActySofts> sobersabre: yes
[20:28] <hey-hey> sobersabre: what is the command to run the gui from the command prompt?
[20:28] <graabein> i add a printer in xubuntu/xfce and get root password popup, but it keeps popping up and i've rechecked password several times
[20:28] <sobersabre> and what are the chosen devices ?
[20:28] <sobersabre> hey-hey: I don't understand your question ?
[20:28] <ActySofts> output: esd, input: oss
[20:28] <sobersabre> you have successfully booted, and you see the "login:" prompt ?
[20:28] <VSpike> hey-hey, usually "sudo invoke-rc.d gdm start"
[20:29] <sobersabre> ActySofts: don't you have ALSA ?!?!
[20:29] <hey-hey> im at root@my-pc:# ... how do i get the windows like gui?
[20:29] <ActySofts> I do
[20:29] <VSpike> hey-hey, unless you are logged in as root, in which case, omit the "sudo"
[20:29] <ActySofts> but I use OSS for input (with alsa-oss) because directly it doesn't work
[20:29] <sobersabre> hey-hey: is this ubuntu or kubuntu ?
[20:29] <T1m0thy> /dev/sda1: 195427/7045120 files (1.8% non-contiguous), 6784729/14080964 blocks <--- Does this mean my hard drive is fine if I get that at the end of a fsck?
[20:29] <VSpike> hey-hey, if you just want to test the xserver and skip the login manager, you can also use "startx"
[20:29] <sobersabre> ActySofts: forget about OSS!!!
[20:29] <hey-hey> ubuntu
[20:29] <sobersabre> stop using it!!!
[20:29] <sobersabre> :)
[20:29] <sobersabre> ALSA is better.
[20:29] <Anderson> Hello hello
[20:30] <VSpike> sobersabre, tell that to the helix/realplayer folks
[20:30] <ActySofts> ...I'm not using OSS, it's ALSA's OSS emulation (alsa-oss)
[20:30] <Lagginator> Where can i find a list of mirrors for apt-get that work with ubuntu?
[20:30] <sobersabre> VSpike: who the hell uses that junk ?
[20:30] <tom1979> Flare183 can you help at all then? maybe later if your busy right now...
[20:30] <sobersabre> helix/realplayer ?

[20:31] <hey-hey> 7.10
[20:31] <ActySofts> also, I don't see what you guys have with OSS
[20:31] <VSpike> sobersabre, agreed, it's junk.  If you have a better way to access BBC radio programs i'd love to know, because that crapware doesn't work for me at all
[20:31]  * Anderson expands his search
[20:31] <Anderson> does anyone have any experience with touchscreens, besides end user?
[20:31] <tom1979> Flare183 the terminal icon in the top right has no wifi options available to scan or connect... clean and updated gutsy install... ok when your ready ;)
[20:31] <sobersabre> Anderson: this is a foreplay question.
[20:31] <hey-hey> sobersabre:7.10
[20:31] <sobersabre> what is the question ?
[20:32] <Flare183> tom1979: first have you tried ndiswrapper?

[20:32] <hey-hey> i tried to start xwindows and it came up with a fatal error :(
[20:32] <Anderson> Is that a bad thing?
[20:33] <sobersabre> hey-hey: have you installed nvidia or ati ?
[20:33] <aurel_> 'soir
[20:33] <Anderson> Um... I am having problems with my touchscreen and touchpad...
[20:33] <ActySofts> I can't get Banshee to play anything (mostly OGG Vorbis) and I don't see why it wouldn't. Any ideas? (sound works, and Amarok plays fine, so I bet it's a problem with Banshee itself)
[20:33] <lammer> I just downloaded Ubunto from http://www.ubuntulinux.org/ how can I install it ? It is a .iso file :)
[20:33] <hey-hey> sobersabre: no
[20:33] <tom1979> flare183: i had SCGUY try that erlier on today on the 64bit install, i need line by line help with it, this is a 32bit install as he couldnt complete it earlier...

[20:33] <lammer> ok thanks
[20:33] <Anderson> They are both behaving erratically, when I touch the screen, the pointer is liable to go anywhere, and the touchpad does a double-tap again likely to occur anywhere.
[20:33] <VSpike> T1m0thy, it means the file system is find,. at least
[20:34] <Anderson> I understand it is probably a driver issue
[20:34] <sobersabre> ActySofts: I don't understand you.
[20:34] <VSpike> T1m0thy, fine i mean
[20:34] <tom1979> flare183: sorry i get confused easy with guides and how toos :(
[20:34] <sobersabre> I am using ALSA
[20:34] <sobersabre> ALSA can emulate OSS if you really want.

[20:34] <sobersabre> hey-hey: ok
[20:34] <ActySofts> I've told you 2 times that I'm using ALSA's emulation
[20:34] <hey-hey> it just refuses to boot
[20:34] <trakinas> thanks all! cheers
[20:34] <T1m0thy> VSpike, thanks.
[20:34] <Flare183> tom1979: ok i'm going to tell you "line by line" but first (because of the traffic) will you join #ubuntu-us-sc
[20:35] <ActySofts> though I wish OSS was easy to install on ubuntu, at least mixing works on my card with it (unlike alsa)

[20:35] <wolferine> i want to switch my ubuntu bx to an XP one again, I have a HD for my main partition, but also, a 500GB of data, which is ext3, can I use a tool in linux to make the 500GB change to NTFS/FAT32 pre-install, or can I use a tool in windows to switch the partition type --- all without losing my data ?
[20:35] <Anderson> And I just got this error trying to install a generic driver
[20:35] <robdig>  /join #ubuntu-ga
[20:36] <ActySofts> anyway sobersabre, any more ideas with banshee?
[20:36] <ActySofts> wlferine: no
[20:36] <ActySofts> wolferine: ^
[20:37] <hey-hey> sobersabre: is there any hope for my little box?
[20:37] <Shreik> hey, i installed windows and i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to put it in the grub loader?
[20:37] <PriceChild> !fixgrub | Shreik
[20:37] <ubotu> Shreik: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[20:38] <Shreik> i have grub installed
[20:38] <Shreik> grub is working fine
[20:38] <tremby> how do i go about requesting a package?
[20:38] <alzamabar_> Hi, I've got an executable which I'd like to start as a service. How can I do?
[20:38] <Shreik> i just need it to let me load windows
[20:38] <ikonia> tremby: what do you want ?
[20:38] <PriceChild> Shreik, i'll pastebin mine for you to use as an example
[20:38] <Shreik> pricechild -- thanks
[20:38] <ikonia> Shreik: you need to add the windows option to the menu.lst file in /boot
[20:38] <tremby> ikonia: projectM. i haven't been able to compile it, due to my inexperience i expect.
[20:39] <PriceChild> Shreik, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50159/
[20:39] <ikonia> tremby: is there a deb package already or is that what you want to request.
[20:39] <Shreik> ikonia but how do i know what to put for (hd#,#)?
[20:39] <PriceChild> Shreik, add something like that into /boot/grub/menu.lst
[20:39] <ikonia> ahhh I see PriceChild has posted a help.
[20:39] <PriceChild> Shreik, remember grub counts from 0, not 1
[20:39] <ikonia> Shreik: if you read the grub howto that should give you a solid idea
[20:39] <ikonia> !grub | Shreik
[20:39] <ubotu> Shreik: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[20:39] <Shreik> so ubuntu is 0 and windows is one
[20:39] <alzamabar_> Hi, does anybody know a good software for service management?
[20:39] <Anderson> !touchscreen
[20:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about touchscreen - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[20:40] <ikonia> Shreik: no, that depends on your partition layout
[20:40] <Shreik> so (hd0,1)?
[20:40] <TwoD_> Shriek, if I'm not mistaken, first # is hdd num, second is partition num, starting at 0
[20:40] <PriceChild> Shreik, pastebin fdisk -l, for us to see
[20:40] <tremby> ikonia: i haven't been able to find a deb package. there really should be one -- in case you don't know, it's an absolutely brilliant audio visualiser, a port of milkdrop (which you may have seen in winamp) to openGL, LGPL'd. far better than any other visualisation i've seen on Linux
[20:40] <x-X-x> whats the difference between src.tar.gz and tar.gz i use ubuntu
[20:40] <x-X-x>  ?
[20:40] <av_> does any body know of a good tool to clean temporary and unwanted files in linux akin to CCleaner for Windows
[20:40] <sobersabre> ActySofts: thanks, interesting reading!!!!
[20:40] <ikonia> x-X-x: the contents of the file ?
[20:41] <x-X-x> whats the src then ?
[20:41] <ikonia> av_: nothing that i'm aware of.
[20:41] <ikonia> x-X-x: source
[20:41] <x-X-x> kk
[20:41] <Shreik> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50160/
[20:41] <ActySofts> sobersabre: no problem
[20:41] <ActySofts> I can't get Banshee to play anything (mostly OGG Vorbis) and I don't see why it wouldn't. Any ideas? (sound works, and Amarok plays fine, so I bet it's a problem with Banshee itself)
[20:41] <PriceChild> Shreik, hd(0,1)
[20:41] <av_> thanks ikonia
[20:41] <sobersabre> ActySofts: have you tried to see if banshee is missing some library ?
[20:42] <sobersabre> run:
[20:42] <sobersabre> ldd /abolute/path/to/banshee/executable
[20:42] <sobersabre> and see if you have some "not found" stuff.
[20:42] <PriceChild> Shreik, is your windows in a different drive? as that means a little more magic
[20:42] <ikonia> sobersabre: why would it be missing a library
[20:42] <ActySofts> well, I installed it from "Add/Remove..." so I suspected it would be careful to install every dependency
[20:42] <ikonia> sobersabre: it would not install if it was missing a dependency
[20:42] <sobersabre> ikonia: I don't know.
[20:42] <sobersabre> ikonia: there are misc. deps.
[20:42] <PriceChild> Shreik, as in different drive to the drive grub is booted off
[20:42] <sobersabre> there's "required"
[20:42] <lolo> Hi anyone running Gutsy, can you tell me if your /lib/modules/"kernel name"/kernel/drivers/video/ has a folder of file named aty in there?
[20:42] <ikonia> sobersabre: functionatliy = required
[20:42] <sobersabre> and there's "optional", "recommended".
[20:43] <nothing0> So Im setting up ubuntu on my laptop and cant get my linksys wireless card to work....the hardware profile shows it as "Airgo Networks Inc AGN300 802.11 a/b/g True MIMO Wireless Card" and not as the linksys it should...when I goto network settings there is only modem and wired connection listed....anyone have any insight?
[20:43] <VSpike> sobersabre, interesting POV here http://insanecoding.blogspot.com/2007/05/sorry-state-of-sound-in-linux.html
[20:43] <Shreik> i'm running windows on a second partition
[20:43] <Shreik> not a second drive
[20:43] <sobersabre> VSpike: I have just read it.
[20:43] <ActySofts> VSpike, I told him 'bout that
[20:43] <sobersabre> My thought is:
[20:43] <ActySofts> there's also: http://4front-tech.com/hannublog/?p=5
[20:43] <VSpike> sobersabre, ActySofts : ah soz missed that cos I was reading it :)
[20:44] <Shreik> i'll reboot and see if it works now
[20:44] <lolo> Hi anyone running Gutsy, can you tell me if your /lib/modules/"kernel name"/kernel/drivers/video/ has a folder of file named aty in there?
[20:44] <sobersabre> the audio app developers are not ready from some perspective yo use linux as platform for their apps.
[20:44] <sobersabre> I mean big vendors
[20:45] <TwoD_> Hmm, I had a dhcp3-server up and running before since I used my comp as a gateway. I disabled it in the Services list, but something still tries to shut it down when I reboot/shutdown and fails because it isn't running
[20:45] <sobersabre> like creamware, steinberg, apple propellerheads etc.
[20:45] <sobersabre> digidesign etc.
[20:45] <ActySofts> sobersabre: very big, I haven't even heard of them :P
[20:45] <sobersabre> and maybe this article is a p.r. by OSS guys :)
[20:45] <c0nka> have a guess what the livecd doesnt work
[20:46] <carrja> You know, I always wanted to be famous, but I never thought it would happen. All that changed on Christmas, when a three-inch hair grew on my back. A true holiday miracle. Now the Christmas Hair and I are destined to be entombed in the Guinness Book of World Records.
[20:46] <ikonia> !offtopic > carrja
[20:46] <sobersabre> I mean, if a card vendor signs an NDA with 4front, there's no reason for disclosing the specs for the card to the ALSA guys,
[20:46] <SirChasm> hey guys, I'm having problems with my KnetworkManager - the wireless network part of it stopped working. My BCM43xx driver is still active, according to restricted-manager, so the problem must be elsewhere
[20:47] <carrja> ikonia, but it's a christmas miracle!!
[20:47] <sobersabre> so, now there are some cards OSS works better with, and MOST cards that work with ALSA best.
[20:47] <sobersabre> :)
[20:47] <NemesisD> anyone use ddclient for dyndns? my config file for ddclient has always worked but for some reason it seems to have stopped updating on the dyndns site
[20:47] <ActySofts> sobersabre: OSS includes some drivers in binary-only, but the other ones are fully free software under GPL, CDDL & proprietary as well for you know who
[20:47] <sobersabre> ActySofts: are you following my point ?
[20:47] <carrja> ignore ubotu*@*
[20:47] <ikonia> carrja: I don't care, this is a busy channel, please respect the rules.
[20:47] <sobersabre> ActySofts: some ALSA drivers are based on OSS2
[20:48] <sobersabre> I think current version of OSS is 4.
[20:48] <KlrSpz> question guys.. i'm trying to open a torrent by dbl clicking it but it doesn't work.. I see a small movement in my systray like an icon is loaded then closed really quick, and so i tested running "deluge mytorrent\ name.torrent" and it starts, but then throws an error saying it can't find name.torrent.. it seems that filenames with spaces are broken.. is this an actual bug with deluge, or xfce (running xubuntu btw)
[20:48] <ActySofts> you're right
[20:48] <ompaul> ifireball, yup
[20:48] <ompaul> ifireball, was afk
[20:48] <sobersabre> but, anyway: the vendor signs for NDA with 4front, he can say "ok, my card is supported by linux now".
[20:48] <ActySofts> but tell me this, if ALSA is better, why mixing doesn't work with my card, while on OSS it does?
[20:49] <bendm> sorry to interrupt, is there a channel for newbies somewhere?
[20:49] <sobersabre> ActySofts: what card do you have ?
[20:49] <Anderson> Does anyone have a magic bullet for Panasonic Toughbook cf-18 touchscreens?
[20:49] <ikonia> bendm: you can get support in here.
[20:49] <ikonia> bendm: if you ask questions people will respond.
[20:49] <crimsun> ActySofts: um, mixing doesn't "work" that way with either oss or alsa.  On both it's abstracted.
[20:49] <DG19075> How do you modify a theme to get the rounded look as in the Mac-styles? I'd like this on the taskbars of my other themes...
[20:49] <bendm> ikonia: thanks
[20:49] <crimsun> ActySofts: the only difference is whether it's done in userspace or kernelspace.  Your hardware isn't involved.
[20:49] <ActySofts> C-Media PCICMI8738
[20:49] <sobersabre> OMG.
[20:49] <sobersabre> :)
[20:50] <sirAndrew> can someone tell me where i can find themes for ubuntu 7.10...the default one is kind of sad...and autumnish
[20:50] <ikonia> sirAndrew: gnome-look.org
[20:50] <sirAndrew> thanks
[20:50] <ActySofts> crimsun: maybe, but if I install OSS from the official site, I can run many apps playing at once (sunig OSS of course), while if I leave only ALSA, I can't
[20:51] <ActySofts> sirAndrew: http://www.gnome-look.org
[20:51] <crimsun> ActySofts: have you reported the bug so we can fix it?
[20:51] <ActySofts> no
[20:51] <adenosine534> hello all, I am running server edition and I am trying to change from ngircd to oftc-hybrid, but ngircd will not install with "error code 1"
[20:51] <adenosine534> any ideas?
[20:52] <ikonia> adenosine534: how are you changing
[20:52] <Anderson> I dunno the first thing about troubleshooting hardware, can someone point me in a good direction?
[20:52] <sobersabre> ActySofts: have you tried this page: http://alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-cmipci
[20:52] <sobersabre> ?
[20:52] <DG19075> Gnome-look has great themes there but I want to transplant the rounded Mac-style taskbar to some of my other themes
[20:52] <bendm> I have a question about a dual boot Windows XP Machine. After installing Ubuntu, XP still boots at startup. Do I need to configure GRUB?
[20:52] <sobersabre> have you actually created the .asoundrc file ?
[20:52] <ActySofts> sobersabre: no, why?
[20:52] <DG19075> anyone have any ideas on how to do this?
[20:52] <sobersabre> because according to the page, if you create the page, you can have your mixing.
[20:52] <sobersabre> with ALSA.
[20:52] <Anderson> I dunno the first thing about troubleshooting hardware, can someone point me in a good direction?
[20:53] <crimsun> you don't need to create an ~/.asoundrc.  If you do, it's a bug.
[20:53] <adenosine534> apt-get remove ngircd then apt-get install oftc-hybrid, but ngircd will not remove
[20:53] <sobersabre> Anderson: is it a supported hardware or not ?
[20:53] <MTecknology> I threw these two lines in /etc/pam.d/common-password ... i thought required meant they can't change their password w/o meeting the criteria, when i try to change a password it warns me if something isn't meat - but still lets it change to that... password required         pam_cracklib.so retry=3 minlen=6 difok=3     password required         pam_unix.so use_authtok nullok md5 -- any ideas what I screwed up on?
[20:53] <ikonia> bendm: do you not get a grub menu at boot ?
[20:53] <ikonia> bendm: or does it boot straight into windows
[20:53] <crimsun> dmix and dsnoop are supported in alsa-lib by default for all drivers that don't have native multiopen.
[20:53] <bendm> ikonia: thank you, no I do not. boots straight to windows
[20:53] <ActySofts> sobersabre: with professional software, the user expects it to work if it's said to, without messing with anything
[20:53] <ikonia> bendm: do you have multiple harddisks (I suspect yes)
[20:54] <crimsun> ("for drivers" -> "for all drivers touching hardware")
[20:54] <bendm> ikonia: multiple partitions.
[20:54] <ifireball> ompaul: /msg? what I want to discuss may be OT
[20:54] <ikonia> bendm: not multiple disks ?
[20:54] <Anderson> sobersabre, I don't think so, sorta exotic
[20:54] <sobersabre> ActySofts: this is the ... overhead you should be ready to pay with open software: to mess with configuration a bit.
[20:54] <ikonia> bendm: in that case it sounds like grub has not actually installed onto the boot sector of the disk.
[20:54] <Anderson> sobersabre, so to speak, it's a Toughbook Touchscreen
[20:54] <bendm> ikonia: no, just C:\ and D:\ installed by OEM, and then manually had to partition out of D:\ for Ubuntu install
[20:54] <sobersabre> Anderson: isn't it identified now ?
[20:55] <ikonia> bendm: ok, so you can either manually install grub from the livecd, or you can re-install and keep a closer eye on what's going on
[20:55] <crimsun> sobersabre: on the contrary, our approach is that it's a wishlist bug (at least).
[20:55] <ikonia> bendm: as for some reason it appears grub has not installed
[20:55] <Anderson> sobersabre, it is displaying alright, but not touching right, and neither is my touchpad for that matter
[20:55] <ompaul> ifireball, pm me
[20:55] <bendm> ikonia: good advice
[20:56] <sobersabre> Anderson: you need to read the real driver's documentation and see how you callibrate it properly.
[20:56] <ikonia> bendm: as you appear new, i suggest a re-install and jus keep an eye on the options you select and what happens during the install
[20:56] <bendm> ikonia: i was trying a dual boot machine because i was afraid I'd mess up the install and be left with a broken machine, rather than an ubuntu machine.
[20:56] <Anderson> sobersabre, which driver?
[20:56] <sobersabre> Anderson: maybe there's some auto-callibration software.
[20:56] <tekteen> can someone help me with pulseaudio. I followed the directions on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PulseAudio. I pastebined the problem at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50162/.
[20:56] <sobersabre> the touchscreen should be pointing device.
[20:56] <bendm> ikonia: is the dual-boot going to make this harder?
[20:56] <ikonia> bendm: most of the time install issues are fixable, don't be scared.
[20:56] <ikonia> bendm: no, not at all.
[20:56] <ActySofts> sobersabre: then shouldn't I get a notice that I need to in order to enable X? since this is a pretty major feature and very useless
[20:56] <ActySofts> *useful
[20:56] <Anderson> sobersabre, /me is a linux nub
[20:57] <bendm> ikonia: during install I couldn't use the "guided" options, had to do everything manually.
[20:57] <ikonia> bendm: thats fine also
[20:57] <bendm> ikonia: some docs recommended a boot flag on the linux partition
[20:57] <bendm> ikonia: but when I did that nothing would boot at all. (I used Gpartition.)
[20:57] <ikonia> bendm: I wouldn't worry about that.
[20:57] <ActySofts> I can't get Banshee to play anything (mostly OGG Vorbis) and I don't see why it wouldn't. Any ideas? (sound works, and Amarok plays fine, so I bet it's a problem with Banshee itself)
[20:57] <ikonia> bendm: just concern yourself with the install and making sure grub is going to install
[20:58] <bendm> ikonia: Thanks. So start the GUI install over again from the Live CD?
[20:58] <Odd-rationale> ActySofts: You can't get banshee to play ogg?
[20:58] <ikonia> bendm: sounds a good call
[20:58] <ActySofts> no
[20:58] <sobersabre> ActySofts: I think it's a matter of your sound card.
[20:58] <Anderson> how do I identify which driver is running what device?
[20:58] <bendm> ikonia: any advice on how to make sure GRUB installs this time?
[20:59] <ikonia> bendm: just pay attention to the text on screen.
[20:59] <bendm> ikonia: thanks very much and happy new year.
[20:59] <ikonia> bendm: there will be an option that says "do no install grub" make sure that is NOT ticked
[20:59] <sobersabre> Anderson: you can follow xorg.log and see what's loaded.
[20:59] <SirChasm> Any alternatives to KNetworkManager? Is NetworkManager better?
[20:59] <Anderson> check, i'll do that now...
[20:59] <nuGz> does cedega play games faster then wine does?
[20:59] <Anderson> where is xorg.log
[21:00] <ActySofts> sobersabre: I guess it's the matter that ALSA was started with a bad point and that the 3.8 ver of OSS could have instead just be developed, forgetting the fact that 4Front Tech made OSS proprietary
[21:00] <sobersabre> Anderson: have you tried to google on the toughbook ?
[21:00] <Anderson> locate turned up no results
[21:00] <Anderson> Yeah... everyone has same problems.
[21:00] <sobersabre> Anderson: /var/log/xorg.0.log
[21:00] <ActySofts> nuGz: yes, since Cedega has a better implementation of DirectX, but you must pay for it
[21:00] <bitmonk> hi folks, i'm running 7.10 in parallels on osx, just installed parallels tools for linux, and 'startx' as my user works, but gdm dies over and over.  any ideas?
[21:00] <Anderson> I don't even know who the manufacture of the screen is, I called toughbook once and they said they have used two vendors, but they don'
[21:00] <Anderson> t know which went in which laptop
[21:00] <Anderson> poor record keeping
[21:01] <sobersabre> ActySofts: some cards work REALLY well. and I guess it's a matter of luck: if you have the card most developers and testers have, you're ok.
[21:01] <nuGz> Actysofts thanks because im using wine to play css and im getting 20 fps and with windows i used to get 80 =[
[21:01] <ActySofts> nuGz: you culd try CrossOver as well, they have official support for CS
[21:02] <Marty> I am a total beginner and have now installed Ubuntu 7.10. I dont know how to do a thing!

[21:03] <Marty> First I wanna get the "Compis" to work. To do that I think I have to install the right drivers for my graficcard.

[21:08] <ActySofts> that :)
[21:08] <alzamabar_> Is a bash script something that ends with .sh?
[21:08] <ActySofts> yes
[21:08] <bruenig> alzamabar_, file extensions don't mean anything

[21:10] <carrja> bruenig, isnt that the show you take your name form?
[21:10] <carrja> *from
[21:10] <bruenig> no
[21:10] <toni_> lol
[21:10] <crimsun> ActySofts: I don't have backscroll (detached)
[21:11] <ActySofts> what do you mean?
[21:11] <crimsun> ActySofts: I mean I have no response from you because my proxy detached.
[21:11] <Sinister> wheres the live cd at i cant find it ?
[21:11] <ActySofts> o, here: I can't get Banshee to play anything (mostly OGG Vorbis) and I don't see why it wouldn't. Any ideas? (sound works, and Amarok plays fine, so I bet it's a problem with Banshee itself) I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy.
[21:12] <alzamabar_> bruenig, this is the URL: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50168/
[21:12] <ActySofts> crimsun: got it now?
[21:12] <crimsun> ActySofts: does `tail ~/.xsession-errors` revin a Terminal eal anything?
[21:12] <alzamabar_> bruenig, if I run this script manually it works fine. I'd like this to start when Ubuntu starts
[21:12] <Jowi> Sinister, go to ubuntu.com and click download. you will get the live cd unless you chose something else
[21:12] <romme> how do i edit my file associations priority? i've set them using kcontrol, but gnome apps don't seem to react to this
[21:12] <crimsun> ActySofts: s/revin/in/
[21:12] <ActySofts> ?
[21:13] <crimsun> ActySofts: does that command reveal anything?
[21:13] <ActySofts> oh
[21:13] <ActySofts> one sec
[21:13] <dgjones> Sinister, The LiveCD is the Desktop CD
[21:13] <ActySofts> mircea@mircea-desktop:~$ s/revin/in
[21:13] <ActySofts> bash: s/revin/in: No such file or directory
[21:13] <bruenig> alzamabar_, ok I just wanted to see if it was actually a daemon, first, move the file into /etc/init.d
[21:13] <jordan> Hello, i'm trying to set up a saned backend on a server for sharing a scanner, but I get this error in syslog .. "inetd[5884]: sane-port/tcp: No such user 'saned.saned', service ignored"
[21:13] <alzamabar_> bruenig, ok
[21:13] <ActySofts> I guess yes :)
[21:14] <wols> jordan: getent passwd saned
[21:14] <wols> any result?
[21:14] <ActySofts> crimsun: <crimsun> ActySofts: s/revin/in/ --> typo?
[21:15] <alzamabar_> bruenig, done
[21:15] <ScreaminIke> how do i, on boot, init a process as a specific user?
[21:15] <jordan> wols : saned:x:119:125::/home/saned:/bin/false
[21:15] <crimsun> ActySofts: no
[21:15] <bruenig> alzamabar_, ok I think there is some script which will do all the linking but I don't know its name, update-rc.d maybe, you will have to ask someone
[21:15] <crimsun> ActySofts: it's not a command
[21:15] <ActySofts> crimsun: well, then?
[21:15] <crimsun> ActySofts: the command is: tail ~/.xsession-errors
[21:15] <lordmetroid_> hmm, I am on freenode yet not
[21:15] <alzamabar_> bruenig, thanks
[21:16] <crimsun> ActySofts: read through those ten lines, and see if there are any errors reported by Banshee.
[21:16] <ActySofts> ok
[21:16] <wols> jordan: group saned exists too?
[21:16] <alzamabar_> Does anyone know which is the script which does all the linking of a bash file with rd?
[21:16] <jordan> wols : yes, and saned is part of group 'scanner'
[21:17] <korrika> update-rc script_name defaults
[21:17] <Anderson> in my xorg.conf, what is         Option          "ZAxisMapping"          "4 5"
[21:17] <wols> jordan: possibly log out and in again for the groups to refresh. unlikely tho
[21:17] <Tetrapus> hi there
[21:17] <soldats> Anderson, for the mouse
[21:17] <alzamabar_> korrika, defaults as it is, or shall I put something there?
[21:17] <wols> jordan: and restart inetd of course
[21:17] <ActySofts> crimsun: not much, except: Warning: [12/30/2007 23:16:41] (Power Management Call Failed) - Cannot find GNOME Power Manager: Name org.gnome.PowerManager has no owner
[21:17] <wols> alzamabar_: huh?
[21:17] <Anderson> What's it mean?
[21:17] <jordan> wols okay, brb
[21:17] <korrika> alzamabar: defaults
[21:17] <Tetrapus> Is there anybody who can tell me where I can find a midi sound pattern which includes all instruments?
[21:17] <Soskel> why does loading ubuntu from a disk look like windows?!?
[21:18] <korrika> it starts and kills the script in the typical levels
[21:18] <Soskel> when ubuntu loads from a disk, it has the same design a windows 95 computer would have
[21:18] <soldats> Anderson, its used to mape the mouse keys for the functions it needs, it can also be for emulating a 3 button mouse with a 2 button mouse
[21:18] <soldats> map**
[21:18] <ActySofts> Soskel: what do you mean? ubuntu is barely similar to windows
[21:19] <alzamabar_> korrika, do I need to create a symbolic link first?
[21:19] <Anderson> soldats, thanks, do you have any idea why my touchpad doesn't work correctly. It moves the mouse to any random point on the screen and doubletaps
[21:19] <Soskel> ActySofts: when you load up ubuntu from a disk, it loads the kernel from a windows that looks exactly like a window in windows 95
[21:19] <korrika> update-rc creates the links for you
[21:20] <jordan> wols : again, same error
[21:20] <ActySofts> Soskel: ok, so? every distro I've seen does that
[21:20] <alzamabar_> korrika, there is something which I don't understand. I copied this .sh file from a bin folder to /etc/init.d/
[21:20] <ActySofts> cromsun: got any ideas?
[21:20] <ActySofts> *crimsun
[21:20] <sdlvx_> i have a quick and newb question about permissions if anyone wants to help me out
[21:20] <Soskel> ActySofts: why? why does it do that?
[21:20] <sdlvx_> i want to stop a single account from executing wine
[21:20] <alzamabar_> How does update-rc know that the file under /etc/init.d/ is actually linked to the one under the /bin folder?
[21:20] <soldats> Anderson, sorry but i would have no clue since i dont have a laptop, try asking the question to everyone or check the forums
[21:20] <bottiger> How does it come that fusermount isn't executable by default but I had to chmod it in order to use it?
[21:20] <soldats> sorry i cant help more
[21:21] <ActySofts> Soskel: I didn't make the linux kernel, so don't ask me, not I'm a developer of any distro
[21:21] <nickrud> bottiger, if you add yourself to the fuse group, then you won't need to chmod it
[21:21] <ActySofts> I can't get Banshee to play anything (mostly OGG Vorbis) and I don't see why it wouldn't. Any ideas? (sound works, and Amarok plays fine, so I bet it's a problem with Banshee itself) I'm using Ubuntu Gutsy.
[21:21] <korrika> update-rc creates links of the script in the proper levels of init.d
[21:21] <bottiger> nickrud: I am in the fuse group :/ or - I just added myself. do you need to relogin before it takes effect?
[21:22] <|_James_Bond_|> Happy new year 2008
[21:22] <kaje> I have a laptop, a desktop, and a server all running 7.10... I would like to keep my home directory in sync somehow... Anyone have any suggestions?
[21:22] <nicholas> Could someone please help me to install FreePascal?
[21:22] <Jowi> Anderson, typically the Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5" is used to make the scrollwheel function as expected.
[21:22] <korrika> the script will call the program wherever it is
[21:22] <nickrud> bottiger, yes, anytime you add a user to a group, the user has to log out completely for it to take effect
[21:22] <crimsun> ActySofts: one sec.  I'm busy across several IRC channels currently.
[21:22] <ActySofts> ok
[21:22] <Anderson> jowi, thanks, do you have any idea about my touchpad?
[21:22] <bottiger> nickrud: aha - that will explain it. now - could you please give me the origian permissions for fusermount :)
[21:22] <bottiger> *original
[21:23] <liquidengineer> Hello
[21:23] <liquidengineer> I'm setting up a fresh Ubuntu box, and I've got it on my home network
[21:23] <korrika> you just have to made sure, the script has execution permissions
[21:23] <jordan> wols : 'telnet localhost 6566' obviously does not work either, saned is not running?
[21:23] <ScreaminIke> i truly cannot comprehend how to get ubuntu to display gdm logins on both vt7 AND vt8
[21:23] <ScreaminIke> any ideas?
[21:23] <liquidengineer> It's got a hostname defined in the Network Setting app
[21:23] <nicholas> I said sudo apt-get install fp-units-rtl. It said it was already the newest version. But the compiler depends on it and won't install because that dependency wasn't satisfied, Help?
[21:23] <liquidengineer> shouldn't I be able to ping that hostname?
[21:23] <nickrud> bottiger, -rwsr-xr--
[21:23] <Jowi> Anderson, does it behave like that in any OS or just in Ubuntu?
[21:23] <liquidengineer> right now I get a host not found error
[21:23] <bottiger> nickrud: thanks a lot
[21:23] <liquidengineer> we're on the same local network
[21:24] <Anderson> Jowi, haven't tried any other linux distros, but it works fine when it had windows
[21:24] <Flannel> nickrud: You're trying to install fp-compiler, right?
[21:24] <nicholas> Yes.
[21:24] <nickrud> Flannel, me, install a compiler. LOL
[21:24] <alladnsane> Hi everyone...could anyone help me get a lexmark z1300 printer to work in gutsy????
[21:25] <bitmonk> ScreaminIke: have you tried anything yet? if so, what?
[21:25] <jordan> wols : I got it!
[21:25]  * bitmonk installing etoile and compiz
[21:25] <nicholas> I want to install Lazarus after that.
[21:25] <nicholas> Could you please help me to get freepascal set up?
[21:25] <freebird> hi folks
[21:25] <liquidengineer> I can, however, use the machine's IP address to connect
[21:25] <liquidengineer> Am I doing something wrong?
[21:25] <Jowi> Anderson, have you tested gsynaptics?
[21:26] <Jowi> !info gsynaptics
[21:26] <ubotu> gsynaptics: configuration tool for Synaptics touchpad driver of X server. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.9.12-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 28 kB, installed size 320 kB (Only available for alpha amd64 arm hppa i386 ia64 m68k mips mipsel powerpc sparc)
[21:26] <bitmonk> so, any ideas why after installing parallels tools for linux into 7.10, gdm fails repeatedly to start, while 'startx' as a normal user works fine?
[21:26] <Flannel> nicholas: apt-cache policy fp-compiler fp-units-rtl
[21:26] <Flannel> nicholas: what versions do you see available?
[21:26] <Anderson> Jowi, just install and run?
[21:26] <Flannel> nicholas: if you want, you can just pastebin that
[21:26] <Avt> ok in gutsy gnome how I check an md5
[21:26] <nickrud> liquidengineer, you need some kind of domain name resolution, the names are not automatically broadcast to the other machines
[21:26] <Esine> Hey. Which version of X.Org does Ubuntu 7.10 ship with?
[21:26] <Jowi> Anderson, I guess so. you can configure the touchpad from there. read in a forum where it solved the issue. might be worth a shot.
[21:27] <ScreaminIke> bitmonk: i tried reconfigging my gdm.conf
[21:27] <Anderson> Jowi, thanks
[21:27] <liquidengineer> nickrud: how do I set that up?

[21:28] <c0nka> ubuntu still doesnt work
[21:28] <c0nka> ?¿
[21:28] <bitmonk> ScreaminIke: you should be able to sudo to another user and run an x app, eh?
[21:28] <nickrud> liquidengineer, I don't know how to do it with windows;  on a standard linux box you can do something like       <IP_ADDRESS>  machinename  in /etc/hosts , then the machine with the hosts file would know the name corresponding to that ip address
[21:28] <Flannel> nicholas: Will you please paste that to pastebin?  I'm having trouble reading it interlaced with text
[21:29] <ikonia> c0nka: define does not work
[21:29] <ScreaminIke> not an xapp. this is a daemon
[21:29] <Jowi> Anderson, it is in "universe"

[21:29] <nicholas> I don't know how.
[21:29] <liquidengineer> nickrud: there's not some way to make the ubuntu box broadcast its IP?
[21:29] <lordmetroid> Can anyone see me?
[21:29] <__hase> I am trying to get morrowind to run (again) through wine.  It was working fine earlier today, but now after I opt to cancel the can't find .mp3 message my keyboard inputs into the background and not the game, how can I fix this

[21:30] <bitmonk> just think it through for a sec..
[21:30] <ScreaminIke> ok. so... what do you suggest? i'm really open. i just want to get this up and running.
[21:30] <nickrud> liquidengineer, no, it doesn't work that way.
[21:30] <steven_> is linux able to play games?
[21:30] <bitmonk> if you're going to log in as another user, in another gdm, to run an app as another user, why not just open a terminal, sudo or su to that user, and run the daemon?
[21:30] <ScreaminIke> oh. no. i know how hacky it is.
[21:30] <c0nka> ikonia: i installed ubuntu with the text installer and it did fine everytime i come to boot ubuntu it goes to a black screen ???
[21:30] <Flannel> nicholas: But, thats fine.  I've got it.  Where did you get your fp-units-rtl from?
[21:30] <lordmetroid> Cool, I was worried that I was invisible as I wasn't able to use private messaging on any other channel than #ubuntu using irc.ubuntu.net
[21:30] <crimsun> ActySofts: one sec, debugging now.
[21:30] <Dr_willis> !games | steven_
[21:30] <ubotu> steven_: Information about games on Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Games and http://www.icculus.org/lgfaq/gamelist.php
[21:30] <Jowi> Anderson, "universe" is a way to get more software with the package manager. open up the package manager and you should be able to set "repositories" there. wait, there's a link...
[21:30] <bitmonk> it's not even so much hacky, as it's like walking all the way around the block to avoid stepping on cracks in the sidewalk, when something is three feet away. ;)
[21:30] <Jowi> !repos | Anderson
[21:30] <ubotu> Anderson: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[21:30] <ScreaminIke> i was going to include the daemon as part of each of their logins, and set each vt to autologin each user
[21:30] <ScreaminIke> it doesn't scale, but there are only 2 users anyway
[21:30] <nicholas> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/50175/plain/
[21:31] <sirAndrew> Happy new year everyone in case i won`t catch you to tell you!
[21:31] <Flannel> lordmetroid: on freenode, only registered users can query
[21:31] <bitmonk> oh, man
[21:31] <liquidengineer> nickrud: I'm a little confused now. Then what's the point of giving the ubuntu box a hostname at all?
[21:31] <bitmonk> ;d
[21:31] <hacim> i'm having trouble with amarok. When I try to add a mp3 it says "No MP3 Support" and can't play mp3s. I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, but that didn't help :(
[21:31] <ikonia> c0nka: just a black screen, thats it, no error/warning/message
[21:31] <lordmetroid> ahh
[21:31] <c0nka> ikonia: no
[21:31] <bitmonk> set your default user to sudo with no password, and just hve a script that 'sudo -u foo daemon'
[21:31] <Jowi> Anderson, direct link here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Ubuntu
[21:31] <nevon>  is there anyone that can tell me how to start a terminal in fullscreen mode on the last virtual desktop automatically when ubuntu starts?
[21:31] <Flannel> nicholas: Where did you get your fp-units-rtl pcakage?
[21:31] <ScreaminIke> ... that will work?
[21:31] <nickrud> liquidengineer, unix (and therefore linux) is network oriented, the name is used internally a lot
[21:31] <bitmonk> or learn about daemontools. ;)
[21:31] <nicholas> I downloaded it.
[21:31] <bitmonk> ScreaminIke: yeah it oughta.
[21:31] <ikonia> c0nka: can you boot into safe graphics mode from the livecd
[21:31] <nicholas> From Ubuntu I think.
[21:32] <bitmonk> for this problem i would use daemontools, http://cr.yp.to/daemontools.html
[21:32] <Flannel> bitmonk: No, that's a horrible idea.  Please dont ever recommend that.
[21:32] <c0nka> i hant gt a livecd doesnt work ive gt the text installer
[21:32] <bitmonk> Flannel: it's better than auto logging in two users.
[21:32] <Flannel> bitmonk: the sudo thing, not the daemon tools, that is.
[21:32] <alladnsane> Can anyone help set up a lexmark printer in Ubuntu Gutsy?????
[21:32] <ScreaminIke> so... the command ought to look like this : sudo -u jean mutella -d
[21:32] <ScreaminIke> ?
[21:32] <bitmonk> sure, well, it's poor security practice..
[21:32] <nevon> i know how to start it automattically but the fullscreen and virtual desktop thing is harder
[21:33] <|Dreams|> does anyone know of a ssl capable usenet client for linux please
[21:33] <bitmonk> here's a safer way.  set up key authentication to ssh to localhost as another user, then you don't need root to become them.
[21:33] <ScreaminIke> ... i'm behind a hardware firewall... it's a box at home...
[21:33] <nickrud> liquidengineer, for example, google.com doesn't broadcast it's name, somewhere out on the network there's a file that does exactly what /etc/hosts does. Your computer asks for the ip address of a dns server, then connects to the number it gets back
[21:33] <ScreaminIke> ... i want this all to happen ON BOOT.
[21:33] <c0nka> i hant gt a livecd doesnt work ive gt the text installer
[21:33] <bitmonk> yesh but it's a bad habit to make.
[21:33] <c0nka> ikonia:
[21:33] <Flannel> nicholas: no, you didn't.  If you look at that paste, the last few lines, theres 2.2.0-1 and 2.0.4-5, the 2.0.4-5 is in the repository (it tells you its URL) and the 2.2.0-1 isn't from a repository, which means you mustve downloaded a deb package and installed it.
[21:33] <EtteSB> im looking for a client for a program, i have a choice of gtk or gtk2, which one should i use?
[21:34] <Anderson> Jowi, got it installed, I didn't realize I had universe commented in xorg.conf
[21:34] <ScreaminIke> so... if i set my root to have *gasp* no password ... *cringe* ... then initing scripts with the sudo command as root will not prompt me for a pass, and allow everything to fly?
[21:34] <dimitris> I am considering buying the eee PC from Asus. It has a 4GB hard disk. Can anyone tell me how much disk space a default installation of Ubuntu takes?
[21:34] <nicholas> Yes.
[21:34] <astro76> EtteSB, gtk2
[21:34] <Jowi> EtteSB, gtk2
[21:34] <Anderson> jowi, correct sources.list
[21:34] <crimsun> ActySofts: ok, does `gst-launch-0.10 playbin uri=file:///usr/share/sounds/startup.wav` work?
[21:34] <nickrud> EtteSB, gtk2 , much prettier and still supported
[21:34] <bitmonk> ScreaminIke: any command can run on boot.  all you have to do is make it not require user input, e.g. asking for password.  sudo is a bad idea because anyone who walks up to your computer can have root, and again, bad habit, but you can set up ssh key authentication for a user with no access except to this daemon, then 'ssh someuser2@localhost daemon'
[21:34] <Anderson> sorry I was just working somnething else
[21:34] <nicholas> I downloaded it as a debian package.
[21:34] <EtteSB> thanks peeps
[21:34] <bitmonk> again, i recommend daemontools for this.  i can probably walk you through creating a simple service for what you want.
[21:34] <ActySofts> crimsun: yes
[21:34] <ScreaminIke> ... i'm still completely lost, methinks...
[21:34] <bitmonk> daemontools installs in about three commands, it's highly secure and stable, and it's designed explicitly for what you want.
[21:35] <bitmonk> also, you'll be learning something useful.
[21:35] <c0nka> anyone
[21:35] <Flannel> nicholas: Right.  That's your problem.  You'll want to remove that, and then install fp-compile, and it'll grab fp-units-rtl from the repos and everyone will be happy
[21:35] <hacim> why can't I play mp3s in amarok?!
[21:35] <Jowi> Anderson, no probs. hope gsynaptics help you. only real suggestion I can make since my laptop died.
[21:35] <ScreaminIke> really? omg. sudo apt-get.... ;)
[21:35] <bitmonk> if you think that running two GDM on two vt is easier than setting up an ssh key or daemontools, talk to me in a week. ;)
[21:35] <nickrud> ScreaminIke, no, sudo will ask for your user password
[21:35] <Anderson> Jowi, got one step closer...
[21:35] <nickrud> ScreaminIke, and only people who are in the admin group will be allowed to use sudo
[21:35] <nicholas> Oh.
[21:35] <Ryan52> whats the command for the network config tool?
[21:35] <ServerSide> bbl
[21:35] <Anderson> Jowi, Just got an error from the app. Something about SHMConfig in xorg.conf needing to be true.
[21:35] <jay3dlinux> i have some problem with brasero "medium not writable" and after that cannot eject the CD
[21:36] <Anderson> Jowi, Is that a simple Option "SHMConfig" under the touchpad section?>
[21:36] <T1m0thy> Okay, sometimes X randomly restarts and Firefox freezes sometimes, but not as much with 3.0b2. I was told that maybe my hard drive is going bad. I've ran a fsck and memtest86+ and both turned out fine.. What else could this be?
[21:36] <astro76> Anderson, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SynapticsTouchpad#shmconfig
[21:36] <nicholas> Oh, thank you Flannel.
[21:36] <nicholas> :)
[21:36] <ScreaminIke> :)
[21:36] <bitmonk> there may also be something in the apt repo, ScreaminIke, which, when run as root, will switch users before executing a daemon.
[21:36] <nicholas> It is uninstalling it.
[21:36] <bitmonk> and that would be easy to put in, say, rc.local
[21:36] <ScreaminIke> yea. i'm totally installing daemon tools right now...
[21:36] <bitmonk> maybe 'daemonize' or something.. i have some funny memory cells there
[21:36] <bitmonk> right on
[21:37] <dgjones> dimitris, have you looked at http://eeepc.tumblr.com/post/21408625 or http://wiki.eeeuser.com/ubuntu:eeexubuntu:home that may help you
[21:37] <czajkowski> ompaul: you about?
[21:37] <nuGz> when i try to install the grapevine package why does it come up with an error and say one software package allowed at a time but theres nothing else up? help please
[21:37] <Jowi> Anderson, simply add this before the EndSection of the touchpad entry in xorg.conf: Option “SHMConfig” “on”
[21:37] <hacim> is it impossible to play MP3s on AMD64?
[21:37] <bitmonk> well even if the 'service' concept from daemontools completely escapes you, you can probably steal 'setuidgid' from it for a hacky rc.local script
[21:37] <Cohuntas> hey can somebody help me change back my resolution to 1680x1050?
[21:37] <bitmonk> hacim: certainly not.  what leads you to ask such a question?
[21:37] <nicholas> It is installing fp-units-rtl plus fp-compiler now.
[21:37] <nuGz> when i try to install the grapevine package why does it come up with an error and say one software package allowed at a time but theres nothing else up? help please
[21:37]  * nickrud wonders if bitmonk is playing with hacim a little :)
[21:38] <Rian-Davide> Im trying to install the nvidia driver in the restricted drivers manager as well as the broadcom and they both don't seem to work, Ive added the other sources already, but I want to be able to load them offline since I can only connect to the internet wirelessly
[21:38] <bitmonk> now, if your question ends with 'in the current ubuntu', maybe the question is no, but amd64 is certainly capable of playing mp3s ;)
[21:38] <steven_> is it posble to play cod2 using wine?
[21:38] <Rian-Davide> is there a way to install the drivers offline?
[21:38] <graabein> i want to connect to a printer hooked up to a windows machine in my wireless network. do i choose samba-option?
[21:38] <Anderson> Jowi, ok got something interesting here
[21:38] <ScreaminIke> steven_ anything is possible.
[21:38] <|_James_Bond_|> need help to configurate this tvcard w/ chipset bt878
[21:38] <crimsun> ActySofts: ok, this time replace the full path to the wav file with one to an ogg vorbis one.
[21:38] <Anderson> Jowi, My synaptics section is commented out, instead I have "Configured Mouse"

[21:39] <hacim> bitmonk: amarok doesn't want to play mp3s
[21:39] <bitmonk> parallels tools writes out a new xorg.conf, maybe it takes something out that gdm wants?
[21:39] <foo25> Hey, I'm suddenly having trouble with my wireless network, it no longer connects automatically, takes over a minute to fully connect, randomly cuts out, and constantly displays a 38% signal strength no matter where I move to. Could this be due to the opensource firmware?
[21:39] <elder> Hi i'm a new user of ubuntu and i just installed it on my pc. Is it possible to play World of Warcraft on this OS?
[21:39] <hacim> bitmonk: I installed ubuntu-restricted-extras, but it still fails
[21:39] <bitmonk> hacim: does it tell you why it doesn't want to? ;)
[21:39] <graabein> how do i know if i have samba installed? i'm on xubuntu 7.10... do i have to do anything on the windows xp machine except share the printer?
[21:39] <Jowi> Anderson, don't know anything about why that is
[21:40]  * bitmonk wonder if anyone want to pastebin him a default 7.10 xorg.conf
[21:40] <ActySofts> crimsun: works perfectly
[21:40] <Anderson> Jowi, Think it's safe to flop those, comment out Configured Mouse and uncomment Synaptics?
[21:40] <Kristian9K> Hello, I can't seem to make tv-out work with my en8500 - is #nvidia the right place to ask?
[21:40] <juan> does gutsy come with a firewall installed? I can't connect to emule :(
[21:40] <bluefoxx> so im trying to install gutsy next to feisty[im on the live cd now] and the partitioner is hanging at 50%[i am trying to resize to 130GB from 240]
[21:40] <hacim> bitmonk: yeah, it says mp3 support is not installed, do I want to install it? I say yes, and it says I have to restart amarok, I restart amarok and then repeat from the beginning
[21:40] <Flannel> hacim: have you installed libxine1-ffmpeg?
[21:40] <Rian-Davide> elder check out the wine website or cedega
[21:40] <bitmonk> Kristian9K: probably not a bad start..
[21:40] <bluefoxx> should i worrie?
[21:40] <Cohuntas> what is the best way to install nvidia drivers in ubuntu 7.10?
[21:40] <Anderson> Jowi, how do I even know if my touchpad is synaptics?
[21:40] <nickrud> hacim, install gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3
[21:40] <bitmonk> hacim: maybe it wants to install this addon itself, but on ubuntu you really should be using apt or synaptic or something..
[21:40] <bluefoxx> bitmonk: i could
[21:40]  * bitmonk points to all the people listing package names
[21:41] <nickrud> Flannel, amarok uses xine backend in gutsy? didn't know that
[21:41] <hacim> bitmonk: i do not have libxine1-ffmpeg installed, I'll install that and gstreamer0.10-fluendo-mp3, thanks

[21:42] <bitmonk> there may not even be a process, maybe there is just a lock file
[21:42] <bluefoxx> should i be worried if the pertitioner hangs at 50 %?
[21:42] <hacim> bitmonk: dialup is very painful
[21:42] <Kristian9K> thanks, bitmonk - but nothing seems to happen there, although 80 users are ol... should all conversation there be within the set topic?
[21:42] <bitmonk> hacim: yeah, i remember. ;)
[21:42] <XinFei> then what Bitmonk.. i typed it in terminal
[21:42]  * bitmonk shares his DSL line with enough people that sometimes it is like dialup
[21:42] <Anderson> Jowi, before I get into that, how do I tell who my touchpad vendor is?
[21:42] <XinFei> and something came up
[21:42] <ActySofts> crimsun: like this? gst-launch-0.10 GST_DEBUG=3 playbin uri=file:///home/mircea/a.ogg
[21:42] <bitmonk> think i am getting 22k right now
[21:42] <bitmonk> i guess that's more like ISDN
[21:43] <Cohuntas> anybody help with nvidia drivers?
[21:43] <crimsun> ActySofts: place the debug bit before the command
[21:43] <ActySofts> ok
[21:43] <bitmonk> XinFei: what came up? pastebin it pls and give me the resultant url.
[21:43] <XinFei> ok
[21:43] <XinFei> wait i cant
[21:43] <XinFei> >_> i cant get online!
[21:43] <XinFei> lolz
[21:43] <Rian-Davide> Cohuntas what's your problem with nvidia drivers?
[21:43] <Jowi> Anderson, don't know. have no laptop to check settings on.
[21:43] <XinFei> is there just a code to kill all of my firefox
[21:43] <XinFei> to where i could restart it?
[21:44] <ActySofts> crimsun: holy...the whole window flooded =)
[21:44] <graabein> elder, i think world of warcraft works with either wine or cedega
[21:44] <Kristian9K> Cohuntas: I've had some succes with the Envy script
[21:44] <bitmonk> XinFei: sure, you can try 'killall -9 firefox-bin' or you can get the numbers from the far left column and 'kill -9' them
[21:44] <Cohuntas> Rian-Davide: I updated my 7.10 and now my resolution is stuck on 800x600
[21:44] <bitmonk> those are pids, or process ids.  every program has one and you can send them friendly or harsh signals.
[21:44] <ActySofts> crimsun: and part of the output is cut off
[21:44] <Jowi> Anderson, most touchpads I've encountered though has been synaptics
[21:44] <cheako> ne1 running gnutella, I need to get bootstrapped(A small list of peers to connect to).
[21:44] <Rian-Davide> ah I see
[21:44] <bitmonk> i'd try a kill without the -9 first, but if you really want to be aggressive throw the -9 there.
[21:44] <XinFei> thx bitmonk
[21:45] <XinFei> it is running
[21:45] <Rian-Davide> well as long as you have an internet connection try envy it will auto install the proper drivers for you
[21:45] <bitmonk> again, it can be a bad habit to just throw -9 for everything, you'll start doing things on server or machines you share with people that will get you clobbered, but it's a good tool to have around, and on a desktop, you'll hurt only yourself. ;)
[21:45] <wols> !envy
[21:45] <ubotu> envy is not needed or supported. Use the Resticted Manager to install binary drivers and see « /msg ubotu binarydriver »

[21:46] <foo25> Hey, I'm suddenly having trouble with my wireless network, it no longer connects automatically, takes over a minute to fully connect, randomly cuts out, and constantly displays a 38% signal strength no matter where I move to. Could this be due to the opensource firmware?
[21:46] <wols> Cohuntas: those nvidia.com drivers are not needed either, especially not if it worked before

[21:47] <Jowi> Anderson, good question. you better look up the specs for your laptop. might be evtouch driver you need. generic google search for the toughbook I see both in use.
[21:48] <wols> nicholas: did you install freepascal, if so how?
[21:48] <foo25> wols: It was downloaded here - http://downloads.openwrt.org/sources/wl_apsta-<IP_ADDRESS>.o
[21:48] <Rian-Davide> there's already plenty of bug reports for the restricted drivers manager not to mention full scale reviews on various websites, well known websites all pointing to using envy when the rest driver manager fails
[21:48] <graabein> how do i know if i have samba installed on xubuntu? i want to connect to a printer hooked up to a windows xp machine in my network
[21:48] <nicholas> Yes, I did, with apt-get
[21:48] <wols> Rian-Davide: you are on your own if you do. good luck
[21:48] <foo25> wols: I assumed the firmware was opensource, I previously used ndiswrapper
[21:48] <Jowi> Anderson, the W2 seems to use synaptics though
[21:48] <wols> foo25: firmware is not a driver. different things
[21:48] <Rian-Davide> Im not even doing it, and everyone is on their own anyway lol
[21:49] <Anderson> Jowi, Yea, and Panasonic doesn't keep good track of that. I thought there was a command to look through hardware, lspci and lshw turned up nothing useful

[21:50] <wols> foo25: if they worked well before, then it's unlikely. the question is: what changed?
[21:50] <Rian-Davide> I would need a deb package to install it offline

[21:53] <TheEagle> hi
[21:53] <wols> Cohuntas: the bot already told you
[21:53] <ActySofts> how do I pipe the output of a command to file?
[21:54] <nicholas> Wols, I don't know how to do that.
[21:54] <wols> ActySofts:  > file
[21:54] <Rian-Davide> ahh k hopefully it works there, Ive been there before, it hasnt held any useful info
[21:54] <bitmonk> also it's 'redirecting' to files, 'pipes' are to other processes ;)

[21:54] <ted__> I need to force a password in a bash script, I don't have to ask the user. Basically I want to do something like:
[21:54] <Jowi> Anderson, did you restart X after you added the SHMConfig option? did you run gsynaptics after that?
[21:54] <TheEagle> when i open Terminal it always starts in bash - i installed ash and can access it via the command ash - how can i get Terminal to start in ash and not bash? is ut possible
[21:54] <ted__> sudo <command> password
[21:54] <Rian-Davide> thanks very much ubotu
[21:54] <grout> how can i do a replace all in vi?
[21:55] <wols> TheEagle: chsh
[21:55] <bitmonk> grout: : (command mode), then %s/something/something-else/g
[21:55] <cristina> hi, how can i make my ubuntu to have this effects http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYsxaMyFV2Y? can you give me a link to a how to? thx
[21:55] <isaacj87> hi quick question...does the "cat" command modify files in any way?
[21:55] <bitmonk> runs against all lines
[21:55] <TheEagle> wols: i don't understand?
[21:55] <wols> isaacj87: depends how you use it
[21:55] <wols> TheEagle: it's the command you need
[21:56] <TheEagle> thanks alot wols
[21:56] <grout> bitmonk: how do i get in command mode?
[21:56] <Dr_willis> isaacj87,  it shouldent.. its mainly used to spit out data unchanged.
[21:56] <bitmonk> ESC-ESC-":"
[21:56] <isaacj87> what if i did: cat /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base
[21:56] <wols> isaacj87: no
[21:56] <bitmonk> quotes are for illustration, not literal
[21:56] <Dr_willis> isaacj87,  it dosent change the INPUT file at all.
[21:56] <ActySofts> crimsun
[21:56] <isaacj87> Dr_willis: I only use it to view files in terminal
[21:56] <isaacj87> Dr_willis: without having to actually open them
[21:57] <Dr_willis> isaacj87,  you may want touse 'more' for that. or 'less'
[21:57] <TheEagle> it says /bin/ash is an invalid shell
[21:57] <NET||abuse> hey all,, i'm using filezilla and gftp at themoment, are there any other really good ftp clients for linux?
[21:57] <linuxbomb> haha /bin/ash
[21:57] <ActySofts> isn't it /bin/bash ?
[21:57] <wols> isaacj87: if you look at the content of a file you open it, no way around that
[21:57] <B_166-ER-X> Hi, I have a problem : i am trying to install 7.10 on a Dell Desktop system, and i cant get trough the Live CD boot, it stuck at 'running local boot scripts' always ,any ideas ??
[21:57] <sir_diplomatico> I plugged in my USB headset, everything works fine but when I use the volume control on my headset..... it changes the Microphone volume rather than the SPeaker volume (since it's listed first in Gnome Volume Control)
[21:57] <Anderson> Jowi, I never got to that point because my Xorg isn't even configured for Synaptics. Which is why I am trying to find out when vendor I am using.
[21:57] <unravel> ActySofts: he wants ash, not bash
[21:57] <sir_diplomatico>  Is there possibly a way to switch the order of items so that the hardware volume control changes "Speaker" volume rather than "Microphone"?
[21:57] <isaacj87> wols: ah okay.
[21:57] <ActySofts> oh
[21:57] <TheEagle> ActySofts: Well, if you bothered to read the initial question :)
[21:57] <wols> TheEagle: dpkg -L ash |grep bin ?
[21:58] <sourcemaker> NET||abuse: konqueror ;-) or the ftp command :-)
[21:58] <Jowi> Anderson, just try the synaptics driver to see. you can always revert changes if needed (backup xorg.conf before making changes)
[21:58] <Svish> Im trying to burn the ubuntu image with InfraRecorder in Windows. What write method should I use? Session-At-Once?
[21:58] <crimsun> sir_diplomatico: in gnome, choose it in system> Preferences> Sound> Devices> default mixer tracks
[21:58] <TheEagle> wols: can you explain what that does, i am trying to learn linux and want to understand what it does rather than just paste it in! thanks
[21:58] <Rian-Davide> is ndiswrapper easier to install then switching the firmware of my wireless card?  Im dual booting ubuntu with windows, will it mess up the functionality of my wireless card for windows if I change the firmware?
[21:58] <wols> TheEagle: manpages are simply awesome
[21:58] <billy_> whats the quickest way to open a terminal?
[21:58] <NET||abuse> sourcemaker, hmm, konquerer interesting idea.. nautilus either?
[21:59] <isaacj87> so essentially, I'm using the "cat" command incorrectly? If my only purpose is the view the file within terminal?
[21:59] <cambrant> hi, my wireless connection to my router keeps dying whenever the transfer rate gets high (roughly 800kBps), and I have to reboot the computer. does anyone know what the problem might be? i'm using the ipw2200 driver...
[21:59] <wols> Rian-Davide: you cannot "switch firmware" and ndiswrapper will not work without firmware either
[21:59] <sourcemaker> NET||abuse:  nautilus... I do not know... try it
[21:59] <Rian-Davide> ah I see
[21:59] <Anderson> Jowi, will do
[21:59] <TheEagle> i still get "/bin/ash is an invalid shell"
[21:59] <isaacj87> Dr_willis: so essentially, I'm using the "cat" command incorrectly? If my only purpose is the view the file within terminal?
[21:59] <Rian-Davide> so then when it says I need new firmware on the ubuntu website what's it infact telling me then??
[22:00] <TheEagle> am i missing something blatantly obvious here? i am new to linux
[22:00] <freebird> /bin/bash
[22:00] <wols> isaacj87: no you don't
[22:00] <sir_diplomatico> crimsun: very well, thanks!
[22:00] <Ethaniel> Hello, anyone of you guys know how to work with an Ubuntu Live CD???
[22:00] <wols> isaacj87: but to view it, use less. more comfortable
[22:00] <TheEagle> freebird: I want the shell to be ash not bash
[22:00] <cafuego> TheEagle: To make ash a valid shell, if it exists in /bin, add it to the file /etc/shells
[22:00] <NET||abuse> sourcemaker, yeh, they all do it... hmm
[22:00] <sir_diplomatico> Ethaniel: what's going on?
[22:00] <crimsun> bitmonk: yes, redirect.
[22:00] <Rian-Davide> well Im gonna give this a try
[22:00] <Ethaniel> Thanks sir-diplomatico
[22:00] <Ethaniel> I can't mount my HD
[22:00] <TheEagle> cafuego: how do i do that?
[22:00] <hacim> how do I eject my ipod in amarok? disconnect doesn't work
[22:01] <TheEagle> it does exist in bin - i typed "which ash"
[22:01] <bitmonk> TheEagle: the command wols gave you searches your installed packages for ash binaries (by looking for a bin/ dir in the path, methinks)
[22:01] <Ethaniel> Actually I know it's correctly connected
[22:01] <catty0320> can someone tell me why my hp pavillions audio doesent work
[22:01] <Ethaniel> But I can't see my information...
[22:01] <catty0320> i know the hardware works
[22:01] <bitmonk> TheEagle: ls -l /bin/ash and make sure it's executable
[22:01] <freebird> apologies, can you 'ls /bin/ash'
[22:01] <jramsey> trying to use kppp with a modem but it can't find my modem; how can i tell if a modem is configured on this pc and how i can access it?
[22:01] <cafuego> TheEagle: sudo nano /etc/shells
[22:01] <Rian-Davide> is there a way to un-install an older version of fwcutter?
[22:01] <sir_diplomatico> Ethaniel: So the livecd runs and you're at the desktop... but you're looking for your HDD mounted right
[22:01] <sir_diplomatico> or trying to mount it
[22:01] <NET||abuse> sourcemaker, gftp, fillzilla, nautilus, konqueror,, decent list of tools, any others?
[22:02] <Ethaniel> Well
[22:02] <Flannel> Rian-Davide: how did you install it?
[22:02] <Rian-Davide> deb package
[22:02] <Ethaniel> I run my Live CD, and when I try to find my HD I can't find it
[22:02] <Flannel> Rian-Davide: then yeah, just remove the deb package
[22:02] <thysteo> ls
[22:02] <Rian-Davide> how?
[22:02] <thysteo> Hello
[22:02] <arooni_> my crontab scripts aren't running;  i did: crontab -e; then put this line in: 0 * * * * unison simple -batch ....  and i've verified it's not running... should i restart my laptop?  ideas (running ubuntu gutsy)
[22:02] <Cohuntas> why would it say permission denied when I try to enter "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"?
[22:02] <sourcemaker> NET||abuse: I always use the ftp command or konqueror...  I have not tested all the others tools
[22:02] <TheEagle> oh hehe, i thought /etc/shells was a directory and u wanted me to add a link or summat
[22:02] <Flannel> Rian-Davide: Open your favorite package manager (syanptic, adept, etc) and remove the package
[22:02] <Rian-Davide> ah ok cool will do
[22:02] <sourcemaker> Cohuntas  : you must be root
[22:02] <TheEagle> the lack of file types confuses me
[22:03] <carrja> have a happy and safe new years eve everyone
[22:03] <thysteo> I have a litlle problem when I want to install Gecode/R on my Ubuntu machine. How can I solve this ?
[22:03] <freebird> cheers
[22:03] <Cohuntas> how do you go to root?
[22:03] <Anderson> Jowi, how do I restart xorg?
[22:03] <TheEagle> Cohuntas: or run comand with sudo in front if it
[22:03] <sourcemaker> Cohuntas: sudo su
[22:03] <TheEagle> Cohuntas: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[22:03] <Rian-Davide> opensource has forced me to drink and drive
[22:03] <usrl> I installed Kubuntu last night, using Dolphin I try to change the view properties to "Details", and set it for all folders, but as soon as I click OK it goes back to it's default settings.
[22:03] <freebird> Cohuntas: do 'sudo vi somefile'
[22:03] <Rian-Davide> hopefully Ill have a safe ride home tonight
[22:04] <Tyczek> !ghost
[22:04] <ubotu> On IRC, if you own a nick that is currently being used, you can make it quit by typing: /msg nickserv GHOST <username> <password>
[22:04] <Jowi> Anderson, ctrl-alt-backspace. or "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart".
[22:04] <sir_diplomatico> Ethaniel: try checking to see if it's detecting your drive w/ the partition manager under system/admin-prefs
[22:05] <bluefoxx> well, im installing gutsy, hopefully i dont have a crash or anything...
[22:05] <tbarturbo> does anybody want a new laptop as i hate vista and wifi dont work?!
[22:05] <sir_diplomatico> Ethaniel: if you see the drive and partitions, find the appropriate partition you want to mount, and try manually mounting it in the console
[22:05] <Rian-Davide> sure
[22:05] <Rian-Davide> I'll take it
[22:05] <sir_diplomatico> tbaturbo: yes
[22:05] <linuxbomb> tbarturbo, ok
[22:05] <sir_diplomatico> lol
[22:05] <cheako> ne1 running p2p, like gnutella?
[22:05] <tbarturbo> wicked thought i was invisible for a second:P
[22:05] <cheako> I need a peer or two to connect two.
[22:06] <Flannel> tbarturbo: Can you get it to work with 32bit Gutsy?
[22:06] <TheEagle> do i have to restart to make the new login shell become operational?
[22:06] <linuxbomb> tbarturbo, try gentoo
[22:06] <tbarturbo> Flannel: no but your welcome to help me through the terminal commands to try it ;)
[22:07] <tbarturbo> Flannel: it didnt work with 64bit thats for sure
[22:08] <Flannel> tbarturbo: Eh?  Well, I meant reinstall with i386 and try ndiswrapper again.  Also, try taking your battery all the way out (while unplugged), some cards won't work with *nix without a complete power cycle after being used on windows
[22:08] <tbarturbo> sorry flannel missread you ... 32bit gutsys installed wifi dont work lol
[22:08] <tbarturbo> havent tried ndiswrapper again i dont know how:(
[22:08] <Flannel> tbarturbo: 32bit is much more likely to work than 64, I'd stick with 32 while trying.
[22:08] <brian2177> can anyone help me set up wifi on my macbook under 7.10
[22:08] <Flannel> tbarturbo: What sort of card is this?
[22:09] <linea> quit
[22:09] <tbarturbo> athorus i think
[22:09] <Cohuntas> how do you save xorg in nano?
[22:09] <tbarturbo> atheros even
[22:09] <ompaul> Cohuntas, ctrl x and see what happens it is on the bottom of your screen
[22:10] <Flannel> tbarturbo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/NdiswrapperOnAMD64   Thats ndiswrapper on 64 bit.  Atheros...
[22:10]  * bitmonk remembers using nano ;d
[22:10] <tbarturbo> Flannel: im on 32 bit again at the mo.... 64bit software was useless
[22:10] <|DuReX|> how can i stop udev to make /dev/sda1 ?
[22:10] <|DuReX|> sda1 is part of a dmraid, so should NOT be created
[22:10] <dcesiel_> you guys know how to stream video through a video camera via firewire to a web server so it's a live video feed?
[22:11] <Flannel> tbarturbo: Not  useless, but much harder with finnicky hardware.  What model is your laptop?
[22:11] <Lunar_Lamp> I need to load firmware to get my USB tv card working. I have the firmware but am unsure where to put it. /lib/firmware doesn't appear correct (as it is there, but it is not detected).  I just wanna use it as a BOINC machine
[22:12] <nuke-serge> how do i choose to stop showing hidden files in emacs
[22:12] <T1m0thy> X keeps restarting out of no where and I've tried fsck and memtest86+. Any ideas?
[22:12] <liquidengineer> when i tried to source the file, it said it could not find the program send
[22:12] <liquidengineer> what am I doing wrong?
[22:12] <liquidengineer> do I need to install something?
[22:13] <Telarian02> I changed the resolution of my console and everything works fine except the screen is not centered on my monitor if i change the settings then switch back to graphical screen and I have to recenter it again, if i leave console resolution at default i never have to change the settings on monitor, anyone have some help?
[22:13] <TheEagle> woo.... my default shell is now ash!
[22:14] <Flannel> tbarturbo: Well, from what I see so far, we'll definately have to use ndiswrapper.
[22:14] <arooni_> my crontab scripts aren't running;  i did: crontab -e; then put this line in: 0 * * * * /usr/bin/unison simple -batch ....  and i've verified it's not running... i've also verified the command works from any arbitrary directory... should i restart my laptop?  ideas (running ubuntu gutsy)
[22:14] <ader10> could someone highlight my name
[22:14] <kane77> what is the easiest way to synchronize projects (files) between desktop/laptop?
[22:14] <linuxbomb> Telarian02, I had that problem because the resolution wasn't supported by my monitor but I doubt thats your problem
[22:14] <kane77> ader10, I can...
[22:14] <liquidengineer> any ideas would be greatly appriciated
[22:14] <tbarturbo> Flannel could we go through it in a pm from my other machine... in your own time...
[22:14] <ader10> thank you
[22:15] <Pir8> does this work for others as well?   However, this page : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper  Is very verbose.  If you have questions about specifics, ask them here, and I'm sure someone can answer them.
[22:17] <tbarturbo> ok thanx FLANNEL
[22:18] <ompaul> TheEagle, if they would and the accepted changes back they would be more secure
[22:18] <ompaul> imho
[22:18] <ompaul> but that would not suit them
[22:18] <ompaul> woops offtopic
[22:18] <TheEagle> indeed, they're just too occupied making money to bother what the consumer wants
[22:18] <tom1979> #
[22:18] <tom1979> download the ndiswrapper source from ndiswrapper.sf.net.
[22:18] <tom1979> #
[22:18] <tom1979> Untar it and go into the ndiswrapper directory
[22:18] <tom1979>  im confused now

[22:23] <Rian-Davide> hey I just installed fwcutter and the firmware and it says its all installed fine but now. it won't find any wireless networks at all
[22:23] <Rian-Davide> so I can't connect to anything
[22:23] <nicholas> :(
[22:23] <TheEagle> tom1979: do you know what drivers you need - even if they are windows drivers?
[22:23] <teddy_> wols, what if it was another package? Maybe a program which I wrote? The mechanism ought to be the same!!
[22:23] <wols> Rian-Davide: where is the firmware installed, what does syslog say when you modprobe the driver?
[22:24] <Rian-Davide> ahh yes mod probe
[22:24] <wols> teddy_: what if I had a pony? it isn't another package
[22:24] <Rian-Davide> I'll have to do that
[22:24] <magic_ninja> can anyone reccomend a good, lightweight settings daemon
[22:24] <dcesiel_> Does anyone done webcasting in ubuntu or know what I can use to do it?
