[07:01] <ompaul> DigitalNinja, you can test by going to java.sun.com
[07:01] <ryan_> is the difference between kubuntu and ubuntu that kubuntu is kde and ubuntu is gnome? or am i wrong?
[07:01] <ompaul> Niklas_E, apt-get
[07:01] <mike_stern> i wanna run a script under root and i dont need to interact with it to supply the password
[07:01] <DigitalNinja> ompaul: Thanks
[07:01] <ompaul> ryan_, you are root
[07:02] <ompaul> ryan_, you are right (woops)
[07:02] <sethk> ryan_, there is really no difference. you can install kde or gnome with either one
[07:02] <sethk> ryan_, the only difference is what is installed by default for one particular install option choice
[07:02] <ryan_> but the defalt installs
[07:02] <jikuty> ryan_, same thing with Xubuntu, it just uses Xfce
[07:02] <Rannon> I was referred here by the Ubuntu website. I'm trying to run ubuntu in command line mode via Virtual PC. I got it all installed and running, but the command line resolution is strange. Is there any way to modify it?
[07:02] <ompaul> mike_stern, you are asking about something called setuid root as far as I can see - you will need to google that with the word security
[07:02] <zeemon> its Xubuntu more ligth about resources needed?
[07:02] <sethk> ryan_, not all install options include a desktop at all.
[07:02] <ryan_> thats what i thought
[07:03] <jikuty> zeemon: yeah, since Xfce is lighter.
[07:03] <Niklas_E> well a textgui for removeing programs I mean
[07:03] <zeemon> ok ok
[07:03] <sethk> ryan_, I don't bother with the kubuntu disk.  If I want kde, I install with no desktop at all, then install kde
[07:03] <Niklas_E> err packages
[07:03] <jikuty> zeemon: I have Xubuntu installed on an old AMD desktop beside me, performance is decent.
[07:03] <earthian> hello
[07:03] <lufis> Niklas_E: Try Aptitude?
[07:03] <earthian> i have read swappines articles on the net.
[07:03] <Niklas_E> tnx
[07:03] <ryan_> sethk: why
[07:03] <eracc> zeemon, yes, I prefer light window managers. I actually installed fluxbox and use that.
[07:03] <sethk> ryan_, why what?
[07:04] <Niklas_E> yes aptitude ;)
[07:04] <zeemon> I intalled ubuntu, do I need to unistall it so I can try Xubuntu?
[07:04] <sethk> zeemon, no
[07:04] <earthian> got a question: i have 1gig ram and 2gig swap. now 440mb of ram is used and 1.2gigs of swap is used.
[07:04] <ryan_> I don't bother with the kubuntu disk.  If I want kde, I install with no desktop at all, then install kde
[07:04] <Arrick2> how do I set a password for root in breezy?
[07:04] <earthian> if i set swappiness to 0 would it cause OOM ?
[07:04] <Arrick2> sethk, ?
[07:04] <sethk> ryan_, I don't see any need to download and keep up to date another set of cds
[07:04] <DigitalNinja> I installed the Flash pluggin with Synaptic but Firefox doesn't show the flash animation. Do I need to restart?
[07:04] <zeemon> ok
[07:04] <sethk> Arrick2, what?
[07:05] <ryan_> o ok..i have the cds
[07:05] <ompaul> !rootsudo > Arrick2
[07:05] <lufis> DigitalNinja: Download and install the plugin from the Flash website instead
[07:05] <earthian> DigitalNinja, i would recommend installing flash plugin from flash site
[07:05] <Arrick2> thanks
[07:05] <ompaul> Arrick2, check the message from the bot - it tells all
[07:05] <higen> ompaul: as fare as i know, he is trying to get feedback respose based upon what happends during execution of /bin/login
[07:05] <earthian> ups lufis :)
[07:05] <sethk> ryan_, there's nothing wrong with using the kubuntu disk, if that's what you are asking
[07:05] <lufis> earthian: Jinx :D
[07:05] <DigitalNinja> earthian: Ho do I install it system wide
[07:05] <zeemon> I cant install Java from Firefox, any ideas?
[07:05] <ompaul> higen, who is?
[07:05] <ryan_> ok ... thanks
[07:05] <Rannon> Does anyone know how to change the command line resolution? I can enter a few commands, but then they eventually scroll off the screen.
[07:05] <sethk> ryan_, no particular reason not to use it.  I always use install options where I select what to install.  so it makes no difference to me which disk I use.
[07:05] <higen> ompaul: that stern guy :)
[07:05] <Arrick2> I know ompaul been ere before, just couldnt remember, but I dont want to do sudo for this I woudl like to login as root
[07:06] <Gosty> hi where is floopy? /media/floopy0 or /media/floopy? because i couldn't find there
[07:06] <sethk> Arrick2, ubuntu has root, exactly like all other linux distros.  you can set the root password.
[07:06] <lucky_> hello
[07:06] <eracc> !rootsudo > Arrick2
[07:07] <lucky_> talk to me
[07:07] <porkpie> guy's what is the equivelent under ubuntu Edit "/etc/initramfs-tools/modules" and add "megaraid_sas" to the end of
[07:07] <porkpie> file.
[07:07] <slight> is ugly font rendering a known issue in edgy beta?
[07:07] <ompaul> Arrick2, that is just bad and it annoys me when people do it, and pllease don't suggest it here to someone who asks give them the !rootsudo thing thanks
[07:07] <slight> can't find anything in launchpad
[07:07] <Gosty> hi where is floopy?  because i couldn't find it as /media/floopy0 or /media/floopy
[07:07] <Jimmey> How can I get the files from a .iso file, without writing it to a CD?
[07:07] <Arrick2> ompaul, I understand
[07:07] <sethk> porkpie, that's a kernel configuration thing, doesn't depend on which distro you are using
[07:07] <ompaul> eracc, hide I am getting angry :-)
[07:08] <sc0tty> echo megaradi_sas >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
[07:08] <sc0tty> iirc
[07:08] <eracc> ompaul, hee hee.
[07:08] <Polygon89> Hello, im using a thing called IFS Drives in windows, which allows windows to read and write to ext3 partitions, but recently when i boot up ubuntu it checks one of the ext3 partitons that windows writes to and says that it contains errors, and something about the LARGE_FILE flag not on the super block and it contains large files. Question is, how do i fix it and is it still safe to use ifs drives between windows and ubuntu?
[07:08] <higen> so.. can anyone do a ls -Al in their /var/run/network folder for me?? i need to se if the file there got any special flaggs!
[07:08] <POVaddct> Jimmey: mount -o loop,ro file.iso /mnt
[07:08] <Rannon> Maybe ubuntu is the wrong distribution.
[07:08] <POVaddct> Jimmey: then the files are visible in /mnt
[07:08] <EvanIsaac> how do i get to ndisgtk?
[07:08] <Jimmey> POVaddct, thanks.
[07:08] <Gasten> Gosty: you should check in "computer"
[07:08] <porkpie> sethk:I am running 6.01 tls amd64
[07:08] <lufis> Gosty: Your floppy drive should be auto-mounted in Nautilus
[07:08] <Arrick2> ompaul, how do I temorarily drop to root, without setting a password?
[07:08] <Jimmey> Then I can "umount" it, later?
[07:08] <ompaul> Arrick2, sudo -i
[07:08] <Jimmey> Arrick2, sudo -i
[07:08] <Jimmey> :'-(
[07:08] <Arrick2> thanks
[07:09] <Gosty> lufis: i found it it's /dev/fd0
[07:09] <ompaul> Arrick2, as I said it is all on that page, please read it you will find it very infomativew
[07:09] <sethk> porkpie, yes .. ?  you believe that makes it different, for some reason?
[07:09] <Arrick2> ok
[07:09] <Rannon> Do any of the other Ubuntu distributions run in pure command line mode?
[07:09] <lufis> porkpie: mingus??
[07:09] <okiaro> Hi guys, I'm having this weird problem where I can't mount my dvdrom drive anymore (dmesg says: "attempt to access beyond end of device"). The strange thing is that my windows XP virtual machine running in vmware has no problem reading the dvd...
[07:09] <ompaul> Rannon, there is a server install
[07:09] <EvanIsaac> how do i find ndisgtk?
[07:09] <Jimmey> Rannon, CTRL + ALT + F1
[07:09] <mumbles> dose anyone know what the changer is?
[07:09] <Szef666> Polygon89: check fsck.ext3
[07:10] <sethk> ompaul, the original unix security model is much better and more secure.  It's incredible that some people think they know more about it than the experts.
[07:10] <porkpie> sethk:I am having issues building a Dell power edge 1950
[07:10] <jdroid-> how do you guys feel about the firefox renaming thing?
[07:10] <slight> Polygon89, i think there's info about your issues in the faq for the pluggable ifs
[07:10] <Rannon> The problem with CTRL + ALT + F1 is that the resolution is very bad, I cannot see more than the results of one command.
[07:10] <Polygon89> ill check that slight, and sze is that a file?
[07:10] <ompaul> sethk, who what where then and 1981 was a great year sudo invented
[07:10] <slight> Polygon89, i believe it's safe, the driver refuses to mount the drive if it's not happy with it's state
[07:10] <EvanIsaac>  how do i find, and open ndisgtk?
[07:10] <slight> Polygon89, no on the website you got it from
[07:10] <Polygon89> yeah i know that but the check.ext3 or whatever someone suggested
[07:11] <sethk> ompaul, the folks who invented sudo never intended it to be used as a lot of ubuntu users seem to think.
[07:11] <porkpie> sethk:what file would I edit to add "/etc/initramfs-tools/modules" and add "megaraid_sas" to the end of
[07:11] <porkpie> file.
[07:11] <slight> Polygon89, is it from fs-driver.org?
[07:11] <Rannon> Everything after the first command scrolls off the screen. I have to execute clear to do another command.
[07:11] <netG> hi
[07:11] <netG>  Is it possible to get Banshee scan collection folder recursively?
[07:11] <Szef666> Polygon89: I'm wondering right now about the same, which is better to share files between windows and linux... ext3 partition and IFS drivers or ntfs partition and ntfs-ng3 [or something ntfs rw]
[07:11] <sethk> porkpie, I don't understand.  you give me the name of a file, which is correct, and then ask me for the name of the same file.
[07:11] <slight> i've found ifs to be fine personally
[07:11] <Polygon89> yeah i got it from that site
[07:11] <lufis> Rannon: You're running in just command line, right?
[07:11] <Rannon> Yes, just the command line
[07:11] <mumbles> im gettign  "-i think" the greter application apperas to be crashing  errer
[07:11] <Polygon89> it works fine in windows im just afraid ubuntu is gonna screw it up cause of these wierd errors
[07:11] <EvanIsaac> anybody know how to get to the graphical interface for ndiswrapper, ndisgtk?
[07:11] <mumbles> anyone know what that means ?
[07:11] <Rannon> No x-windows
[07:11] <slight> i had to fsck my ext2/3 once before the ifs driver would happily mount it, so i think it behaves pretty safely
[07:12] <lopzided> what do i change to make it so when i right-click a link in xchat and choose "open in browser", it uses firefox instead of konqueror?
[07:12] <porkpie> sethk:I can't find the file .....I have alt f2 out of the install in to a console session
[07:12] <eracc> Szef666, a USB thumb-drive formatted to FAT32 is good for sharing with That Other OS
[07:12] <sethk> mumbles, you mean the greeter application?
[07:12] <slight> is ugly font rendering a known issue in edgy beta?
[07:12] <ompaul> sethk, and Matt Zimmerman never intended it to be used as some suggested :)
[07:12] <lufis> Rannon: Hmm... can you adjust the monitor, maybe? Would moving the screen a little to the left help?
[07:12] <Polygon89> well they worked fine in both operating systems it just recently it started generating errors on check filesystem during ubuntu bootup
[07:12] <sethk> porkpie, it doesn't exist yet.  that doesn't mean it's the wrong file name.
[07:12] <EvanIsaac> does anybody know how i get to ndisgtk?
[07:12] <Jimmey> POVaddct, I've got three isos, and only one CD - Is there some way I can "fake" the mounting of the CDs with these files in?
[07:12] <sethk> porkpie, it's much better to just compile that into the kernel, rather than trying to load it from an initrd
[07:13] <Rannon> The problem is not the monitor. I think it is a configuration of the command line. I looked at the settings in env and they don't seem to be the problem.
[07:13] <Szef666> eracc: i want to share more than usb can contain and preferably with file permissions... IFS driver respect file permissions like NTFS or EXT3?
[07:13] <sethk> ompaul, that's quite true.
[07:13] <jad> Hi, Why it's such hard task to setup Internet on Dapper?
[07:13] <porkpie> sethk:OK .   cool is there a doc on this please
[07:13] <sethk> jad, it isn't the least bit hard.  I can do it in about 30 seconds.
[07:13] <Ranbee> can i install beryl on a vmware image? i was wondering if the nvidia card will work correctly
[07:13] <EvanIsaac> sethk: do you know how i can get to ndisgtk?
[07:13] <kingace> hi
[07:13] <sethk> porkpie, the kernel source tree has docs on using initramfs
[07:13] <Polygon89> so if i fsck my drive, will i lose any data?
[07:13] <POVaddct> Jimmey: mix all files from all isos?
[07:13] <kingace> whenever i try to install XGL\compiz it tells me that compiz has dependencies and cant install
[07:13] <sethk> EvanIsaac, no, sorry, haven't used it.
[07:13] <lopzided> jad, mine worked off the rip...i just plugged everything in and presto
[07:13] <Rannon> How does the command line know how to be configured?
[07:13] <porkpie> sethk:I am used to FreeBSD  ...compling Kernels
[07:14] <sethk> porkpie, indeed, then you'll have no problems compiling the linux kernel.
[07:14] <EvanIsaac> i'm trying to get to the samething the guy did to solve his problem in http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=258732&highlight=Netgear+WG111T
[07:14] <jad> lopzided: are you using the always on connection through your ADSL modem ?, I'm having trouble with the pppoe
[07:14] <kingace> can someone point me towards an up to date xgl\compiz installation tutorial
[07:14] <lufis> Rannon: I'm a newb myself but I think resolution options for the command line mode are in Grub's menu.lst file. I could be wrong though
[07:14] <sc0tty> jad: it depends on  your network configuration I guess
[07:14] <Szef666> Polygon89: fsck-ing should fix errors, in worst case few files will disappear and appear in /lost+found as inodes numbered files
[07:14] <eracc> Szef666, hmmm. I believe the file permissions may not be equivalent across those file systems. Caveat: I do not use Micro$oft operating systems here ... so can't test.
[07:14] <fm> hello ! is anybody knows how to install a spyc@m 100 (Trust) ?
[07:14] <sc0tty> I have a dhcp on my lan, so it works fine out of the box
[07:14] <Jimmey> POVaddct, no, I mean, I've only got one CD, and I've got a script that requires me to insert one after another - Which means I have to insert one, wait for the script to prompt for the other, wipe the CD, and write another ISO to it
[07:15] <higen> when i reboot, my ifstate doesnt clear the line called lo=lo, which means by next reboot the loopback doesnt come up properly.. anyone have idea why?
[07:15] <Polygon89> will they be corrupted or they will be just renamed
[07:15] <sc0tty> if you don't have a router on the lan, or even no lan, it can be more troublesome
[07:15] <Arrick2> ompaul, if a folder is unreadable, such as the shorewall firewall, and it is owned by root, and unaccessable for some reason, how would I access it?
[07:15] <Polygon89> if they end up in lost+found
[07:15] <Arrick2> sudo doesnt ope it
[07:15] <Arrick2> open
[07:15] <porkpie> sethk:hmm! OK ...but normally I have installed freebsd the created a new kernel and then I build the kernel
[07:15] <zeemon> c u later tnx   ^^
[07:15] <jad> Ok, I can't use the modem always on ADSL connection, and I dont have LAN, is there anyway  to connect my ADSL with pppoe on ubuntu ? without entering the routing hell ?
[07:15] <Jimmey> POVaddct, like mounting the isos to /mnt/cdrom
[07:16] <lopzided> jad, uh...i dunno, i seriously just plugged everything in and turned it on.
[07:16] <Rannon> Oh thank you lufis! I found the menu.lst file. Do you know where I should make the change? I cannot view the file very easily.
[07:16] <POVaddct> Jimmey: i don't know what you mean. why write to cd?
[07:16] <porkpie> sethk:is unbuntu the same ..
[07:16] <sethk> porkpie, install the kernel source, copy in the configuration (which is in /boot), do make oldconfig, then build the kernel.
[07:16] <Szef666> eracc: :) now , maybe the best way to share data is to store them on an encrypted truecrypt partition accessible both from win and lin... but overhead just to listen mp3... :d
[07:16] <Jimmey> POVaddct, the script looks for the files that are on the isos in /mnt/cdrom
[07:16] <jad> lopzided: Ok, you are lucky. stop teasing me now
[07:16] <Jimmey> I'm trying to install a game, and I'm getting the "now insert disk two" kind of messages
[07:16] <eracc> Szef666, frankly I would not trust Window$ to touch my non-Micro$oft file systems. I'm a Linux/Unix bigot. ;-)
[07:17] <Jimmey> Which means I've to wipe the disk, and put the disk2 iso on
[07:17] <sethk> porkpie, there is nothing significantly different about ubuntu than any other linux distro.
[07:17] <lopzided> jad, sorry, lol
[07:17] <POVaddct> Jimmey: then why don't you mount the first iso to /mnt/cdrom, run the script until it prompts for the next cd, umount /mnt/cdrom, mount the second iso to /mnt/cdrom ...?
[07:17] <lufis> Rannon: I looked in my grub config file and there was a line "vga=791"... sounds like a resolution thing. Try googling "Grub screen resolution" or something along those lines.
[07:17] <sethk> porkpie, methods for building the kernel, etc., apply.  of course, freebsd is different, but that's to be expected.  :)
[07:17] <warpzero> hey guys
[07:17] <Jimmey> POVaddct, because I just did "ls /mnt", and I didn't see "cdrom"
[07:17] <warpzero> i'm having a "gnome never logs in" problem
[07:17] <Jimmey> Should I just create it?
[07:17] <Polygon89> again, if i fsck my drive, and some files end up in lost+found, will they be corrupted or just renamed
[07:17] <warpzero> and afaik its not the loopback-device problem
[07:17] <warpzero> or the esound problem
[07:18] <sethk> Jimmey, ubuntu puts those mount points in /media.
[07:18] <eracc> Szef666, that said, were I needing to share between Win$ and any of my OSS systems here I would run a separate Win$ box and use SAMBA on one of the servers.
[07:18] <roughtrader> can 32-bit apps be run in 64-bit ubuntu?
[07:18] <warpzero> an di can'g figure out wtf
[07:18] <sethk> Jimmey, you can either use /media, or create a directory in /mnt, it doesn't matter which.
[07:18] <Jimmey> sethk, that'd make more sense.
[07:18] <mumbles> eracc thats what im doing
[07:18] <higen> warpzero: what excatly is the loopback-device problem you are talking about?
[07:18] <POVaddct> Jimmey: so umount /mnt, mkdir /mnt/cdrom and mount the iso to /mnt/cdrom
[07:18] <sethk> roughtrader, no, generally not.
[07:18] <warpzero> higen, if lo isn't up it causes gnome problems apparently
[07:18] <porkpie> sethk:.OK ....so I am at the end of the install and alt f2 into a console session.  Can I create a new kernel from here
[07:18] <sethk> Jimmey, the most recent convention is that removable media devices have mount points in /media, fixed in mnt.
[07:19] <eracc> Szef666, I know that does not help with dual/multi-boot though. However, a second box running SAMBA would be usable even for a dual/multi-boot box.
[07:19] <sethk> porkpie, first thing you do is download the kernel source.  there is a kernel source package which you can find in synaptic.
[07:19] <higen> warpzero: and there is a problem where that doesnt happen? i have problem getting my lo up.. so i am just wondering if there is any solution laying around?
[07:19] <higen> (except hacking scripts)
[07:19] <Rannon> After looking through menu.lst, I found an something about defoptions=vga=791, but I'm not so sure what that means. Hmm.
[07:19] <sethk> porkpie, then you do what I already told you, about copying in the configuration, etc.
[07:19] <Szef666> eracc: 2 machines...I have such setup right now and try to consolidate data, but anyway... fck windows... thanks
[07:19] <warpzero> higen, sudo ifconfig lo <IP_ADDRESS>
[07:19] <higen> i can fix the problem in 2 sec.. but.. i want to find out WHY its happening
[07:19] <higen> warpzero: ahh.. ok.. thats not what i am looking after :)
[07:19] <vipernicus> the ubuntu livecds have reiser4 support right?
[07:20] <warpzero> higen, check your /etc/network/interfaces
[07:20] <warpzero> it should contain the lines
[07:20] <warpzero> auto lo
[07:20] <warpzero> iface lo inet loopback
[07:20] <EvanIsaac> anyone know how i can get ndisgtk
[07:20] <Szef666> POVaddct: talking about /media... which should be owner/permission of mountpoints inside /media to let user automount them?
[07:20] <SAM_theman> wow tv on ubutnu
[07:21] <higen> warpzero: done that.. my problem is that my ifstate file (under /var/run/network) dosent clear the line of lo=lo on shutdown, so on boot, loopback start getcalled, which reports, ifup: interface lo already configured
[07:21] <chrisjw> ok that method you told me doesn't work
[07:21] <higen> which is NOT true :)
[07:21] <warpzero> higen, oh... well i dont know then
[07:21] <Jimmey> sethk, okay, I tell it to mount to /media/cdrom/, but it goes to /media/cdrom0/
[07:21] <Polygon89> anyway thanks for your help guys...
[07:21] <sethk> Jimmey, that's because /media/cdrom is probably a symlink
[07:21] <oona> does anyone know how to make mounted partitions appear on the desktop autoomatically?
[07:21] <POVaddct> Szef666: mountpoint permissions have no effect for user mount permissions
[07:21] <POVaddct> Szef666: man fstab
[07:22] <Jimmey> sethk, You lost me
[07:22] <sethk> Jimmey, you can use either name, but the real name will always appear in things like the output of mount
[07:22] <sioux> hi I want upgrade my nvidia driver sudo init 3 seems not have affect
[07:22] <lufis> Rannon: Are you running the command line natively? like, not in an emulator?
[07:22] <sethk> Jimmey, /media/cdrom is a symbolic link to /media/cdrom0
[07:22] <chrisjw> __module_name__ = "aop"
[07:22] <Jimmey> sethk, I see..
[07:22] <sethk> Jimmey, so both mean the same thing.  however, output from commands (such as mount) will show you the real name
[07:22] <chrisjw> aop.test() doesn't work, it says aop is undefined
[07:22] <sethk> Jimmey, so it can be a bit confusing, but nothing is wrong.
[07:22] <Szef666> POVaddct: fstab has: /dev/hda2       /media/hda2     ntfs    defaults,rw,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46 0       1
[07:23] <Jimmey> sethk, but when I run the script looking for the files, it says "insert the CD3..."
[07:23] <Jimmey> But CD3's iso is mounted in cdrom0
[07:23] <sethk> Jimmey, and?
[07:23] <POVaddct> Szef666: so whats the problem?
[07:23] <AlexC> Is there anyway to make my Middle Mouse click act as Double Click?
[07:23] <sethk> Jimmey, what does a cd label have to do with a mount point?
[07:23] <warpzero> anyone have any ideas on why gnome is never logging in for me?
[07:23] <Szef666> POVaddct: gid 46 is plugdev, my user is in plugdev group, and i cannot mount that partition;
[07:23] <sethk> warpzero, you aren't using a user name and password that it recognizes, most likely.
[07:23] <mumbles> im gettign a "the greter application apperas to be crashing"  errer when startign ubuntu
[07:24] <Jimmey> sethk, this script's looking for CD3 in the cdrom drive, and it worked when I burned the files to a CD, and put that into the drive
[07:24] <Jimmey> But it's not working now
[07:24] <warpzero> sethk, not the problem, its hanging somewhere with only gconfd and dbus started
[07:24] <Szef666> POVaddct: it says that only root can mount "mount: only root can mount /dev/hda2 on /media/hda2"
[07:24] <POVaddct> Szef666: it should be mounted at boot  (there is no "noauto" option)
[07:24] <chrisjw> NameError: name 'aop' is not defined
[07:24] <chrisjw> so again
[07:24] <sethk> Jimmey, you are confusing the issue by mentioning disk labels. such as cd3.  Do this:    ls -ld /media/cdrom*
[07:24] <chrisjw> how do i call a function from within a python script from xchat
[07:24] <sethk> Jimmey, see if /media/cdrom shows up
[07:24] <chrisjw> is it possible?
[07:25] <sethk> Jimmey, if not, you'll have to create the link:     sudo ln -s /media/cdrom0 /media/cdrom
[07:25] <sethk> Jimmey, that's taking your word for the fact that something is looking for /media/cdrom, which seems to be what you mean.
[07:25] <Jimmey> sethk, yeah, it's there
[07:25] <Jimmey> sethk, I assume it is
[07:25] <oona> can someone tell me how to make my mounted partitions appear on the desktop?
[07:25] <POVaddct> Szef666: Szef666 either add "user,noauto" or leave fstab as it is
[07:25] <ashzilla> Hi, what bash command do I use to see what processes are running?
[07:25] <_Spire_> ashzilla: ps ax
[07:25] <sethk> Jimmey, don't assume.  why do you think so?
[07:26] <ashzilla> _Spire_: Thank you.
[07:26] <POVaddct> Szef666: your currect fstab should mount the ntfs partition at boot time, so it must be mounted right now
[07:26] <warpzero> anyone have any ideas on why gnome never starts for me?
[07:26] <sethk> Jimmey, usually, when things don't work, it's because you assumed something, and that something isn't true.
[07:26] <Jimmey> sethk, "Please mount the Commandos 2 Disc 2 CDROM"
[07:26] <lufis> oona: You can symlink the mount points to directories on your desktop... thats what i do
[07:26] <sethk> warpzero, I just answered that question.
[07:26] <rexbron> hello, when ever i run an app requireing 3d acceleration, i get this error: libGL warning: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x5b
[07:26] <sethk> Jimmey, that message says nothing about a mount point.
[07:26] <warpzero> sethk, well i can login on the console just fine
[07:26] <Szef666> POVaddct: mount -a as root works, but previously it worked like automount when user clicked it in "computer" :)
[07:26] <_Spire_> ashzilla: that lists all running processes with the tty they're on and their PID
[07:26] <warpzero> oh i get it
[07:26] <warpzero> you're being sarcastic
[07:26] <sethk> warpzero, no
[07:26] <skpl> can someone tell me how to make my mounted partitions appear on the desktop?
[07:27] <sethk> warpzero, not at all.
[07:27] <AlexC> gah, Linux needs a damm good FTP Client - gFTP really does suck
[07:27] <sethk> warpzero, what happens when you try to log in with gnome?
[07:27] <POVaddct> Szef666: even mount -a should not be necessary, it is mounted _at_boot_time_
[07:27] <warpzero> sethk, never shows the loading splash
[07:27] <sethk> warpzero, people ask that question frequently and the problem is they are using the wrong password.  I have no way of knowing whether that makes sense for you are not, so I ask.
[07:27] <Arrick2> !iptables
[07:27] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed with iptables (in the command line) or firestarter (gui, can also setup connection sharing)
[07:27] <sethk> warpzero, that's what it doesn't do.  what does it do?
[07:27] <ashzilla> _Spire_: Useful info, thank you.
[07:27] <warpzero> sethk, starts gconfd, dbus, and ssh-agent
[07:27] <EvanIsaac> how do i get to ndisgtk?
[07:28] <Szef666> POVaddct: you're right, but maybe I've messed with /dev... now it is brw-rw---- 1 root disk 3, 2 2006-10-01 19:24 /dev/hda2
[07:28] <sethk> warpzero, ok, good, but what do you see on the screen?
[07:28] <EvanIsaac> how do i get ndisgtk?
[07:28] <warpzero> sethk, logs about 5 lines ending with gconfd's config loading stuff user.log
[07:28] <Jimmey> sethk, I assume it's looking in /media/cdrom/ because when I burned this "Commandos 2 Disc 3 CDROM" to a disc and put it into the disctray, I didn't get the error
[07:28] <EvanIsaac> how do i get ndisgtk?
[07:28] <warpzero> sethk, just brown, movable pointer
[07:28] <sethk> warpzero, ok, and then?
[07:28] <KenSentMe> !repeat > EvanIsaac
[07:28] <warpzero> sethk, and then... nothing
[07:28] <warpzero> it just stops
[07:28] <EvanIsaac> i don't care
[07:28] <sethk> warpzero, the screen is blank?
[07:28] <warpzero> gnome never continues to load
[07:28] <EvanIsaac> i've been asking for half an hour
[07:28] <ashzilla> Okay, so I found the server I'm trying to get ftp access enabled via root is using proftpd. How can I now create a new user/pass?
[07:28] <KenSentMe> EvanIsaac: then i won't help
[07:28] <EvanIsaac> and it seems like a pretty commonly used program
[07:29] <rayston> hello all
[07:29] <sethk> warpzero, that's an assumption, although probably correct, but an assumption nevertheless.  the screen is blank?
[07:29] <Rannon> I can get this to work. I'm going to try Fedora. Good luck everyone! =)
[07:29] <warpzero> sethk, its blank brown
[07:29] <warpzero> with a pointer
[07:29] <Rannon> Thanks for your help.
[07:29] <_Spire_> EvanIsaac: apt-get install ndisgtk maybe?
[07:29] <sethk> warpzero, ok, and it stays that way forever?
[07:29] <warpzero> sethk, yes
[07:29] <warpzero> sethk, let it sit there all night
[07:29] <rayston> one of my secondary hard drives is suddenly unavailable, it says something about a corrupted superblock when I boot, and then when I boot, I can see the HD in the disks tool but it is unavailable and clicking enable has no effect
[07:30] <sethk> warpzero, ok.  switch to a console, log in, and do    ps aux     and see what the last few processes are.
[07:30] <KenSentMe> EvanIsaac: why not just apt-get install ndisgtk?
[07:30] <sethk> warpzero, we need to see what it is waiting for.
[07:30] <skpl> can someone tell me how to make my mounted partitions appear on the desktop?
[07:30] <warpzero> sethk, gconfd-2, dbus-daemon, dbus-launch, ssh-agent
[07:30] <EvanIsaac> couldn't find package ndisgtk
[07:30] <Szef666> POVaddct: pls, list here permissions for any partition/mountpoint that automount in nautilus and I'll shut up
[07:30] <warpzero> sethk, besides obviously the bash i just started
[07:30] <_Spire_> EvanIsaac: do you have universe enabled?
[07:30] <higen> in systemv is it like this that all files that are named (link named) K**Name executes with <scriptname> stop  and S**Name get executed with <scriptname> start ?
[07:31] <_Spire_> !universe
[07:31] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and !easysource
[07:31] <EvanIsaac> how do i know whether i have universe enabled or not?
[07:31] <higen> !systemv
[07:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about systemv - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:31] <higen> !sysv
[07:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sysv - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:31] <POVaddct> Szef666: i don't have ubuntu here, sorry
[07:31] <_Spire_> EvanIsaac: uncomment the universe section in /etc/apt/sources.list
[07:31] <_Spire_> !easysource > EvanIsaac
[07:31] <_Spire_> EvanIsaac: or you can try that
[07:31] <sethk> warpzero, try renaming the .gnome*   directory (ies) in your $HOME
[07:32] <rayston> how do I figure out whats wrong with my secondary HD?
[07:32] <sethk> warpzero, I run kde so I don't have the name in front of me.  there will be one or two directories starting with .gnome
[07:32] <AlexC> Anyone know of a GOOD ftp client that doesn't give you RSI and actually works?
[07:32] <Szef666> POVaddct: heh, I'm gentoo-convert and this auto-magick behind ubuntu is scarying me , thanks
[07:32] <ricky> how can i install flash player ?
[07:32] <sethk> warpzero, if you rename those, it puts you into the state you are in the first time you log into the desktop.
[07:32] <_Spire_> !flash
[07:32] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[07:32] <warpzero> sethk, there are no .gnome* directories in my home directory, but i've already tried clearing every dotfile there was
[07:32] <KenSentMe> AlexC: what's wrong with nautilus or gftpd?
[07:32] <harisund> AlexC I am not sure, but Gnome's Nautilus itself is pretty good
[07:32] <warpzero> sethk, this problem started the first login, i have never logged in to gnome
[07:33] <sethk> warpzero, so .gnome* never gets created.  that is odd.  sounds like the install didn't complete.
[07:33] <Doc__> Who here has frostwire
[07:33] <_Spire_> ricky: try "apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"
[07:33] <AlexC> KenSentMe, gFTP has no Tree View which makes my wrists/fingers hurt from double clicking in and out of many many files, you can only be connected to one FTP at a time and it just randomly crashes
[07:33] <sethk> warpzero, try installing the desktop again, using the --reinstall flag with apt-get
[07:33] <ompaul> Szef666, are you ready to use packages and reject days a week of compile time? you don't need to compile here unless you fixing a bug
[07:33] <AlexC> harisund, AFAIK Nautilus is only a Viewer for FTP?
[07:33] <sethk> warpzero, you get the normal login screen, which means X is installed and configured properly.
[07:33] <EvanIsaac> so do i just uncomment the two ones that start with deb?
[07:33] <Arrick2> how do I start the firestarter gui
[07:33] <_Spire_> AlexC: gFTP is a bit of a PITA
[07:33] <warpzero> sethk, yeah iknow
[07:34] <AlexC> Linux needs something like SmartFTP
[07:34] <Doc__> does anyone have frostwire
[07:34] <sethk> warpzero, so (as root) try    apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop    (if you haven't already tried this)
[07:34] <AlexC> SmartFTP is _the_ best FTP client I have ever used
[07:34] <_Spire_> AlexC: you could run it with wine
[07:34] <ompaul> !repeat > Doc__
[07:34] <warpzero> sethk, i haven't, i will
[07:34] <sethk> warpzero, the .gnome* directories are created very early in startup, so something fairly basic is missing.
[07:34] <KenSentMe> EvanIsaac: yes
[07:34] <Doc__> when you first got it did you have trouble opening it
[07:34] <livingtm> Im having trouble getting Xorg running on my laptop with the ATI proprietary drivers. lscpi reports "Radeon Mobility U1"
[07:34] <AlexC> _Spire_, mmm, I tried but with no luck
[07:34] <ricky> spire it tells me it is installed
[07:35] <sethk> warpzero, try, there is a chance it will fix it.   not certain by any means, but worth trying.
[07:35] <ompaul> AlexC, this is not windows it is an alternative and you have access to the source to make any of the ftp clients you find work the same way
[07:35] <Szef666> ompaul: laziness... but i feel i HAVE to recompile few things, kernel and alsa for the beginning
[07:35] <ompaul> Szef666, prepare to break your box
[07:35] <warpzero> sethk, yeah its running
[07:35] <ompaul> :)
[07:35] <_Spire_> ricky: hmmm... that's strange. It should work
[07:35] <ricky> _spire_ but i can'r use it in firefox
[07:35] <sethk> warpzero, ok.
[07:35] <Arrick2> Lets say I installed Firestarter through synaptic package manager, why doesnt it show up anywhere so i can use it?
[07:35] <warpzero> sethk, hmm its downloading packages i'm not sure if they should've been cached by install
[07:35] <Doc__> ompaul: did you have porblems opening it at the begining
[07:36] <warpzero> so maybe i am missing stuff
[07:36] <Szef666> ompaul: heh,i've allready broken automount in nautilus
[07:36] <sureshot> does anyone know how to install and make work aiglx
[07:36] <ompaul> Doc__, (A) I don't use it (B) I got the bot to send you a message please read it

[07:38] <svu> sureshot, do you mean the page on ubuntu wiki?
[07:39] <ompaul> Doc__, read the message the bot sent you
[07:39] <_Spire_> ricky: try uninstalling flash player, going to a site with a flash object, clicking on the "click here to install" thing and let it install. it should work
[07:39] <Doc__> wtf  do you mean by !frostwire
[07:39] <jelly-home> ompaul: basically the only difference is the preinstalled packages?  I'm currently using XFCE + some KDE apps on Debian etch, thinking of switching the distro.
[07:39] <KenSentMe> ricky: there are 3 links in the text ubotu sends you
[07:39] <Tokenbad> I can prob send out that computer stuff tomorrow ok?

[07:40] <KenSentMe> Doc__: check what ubotu said to you
[07:40] <sureshot> brb
[07:40] <POVaddct> jelly-home: you can also install ubuntu and then apt-get install xubuntu-desktop   (thats a metapackage)

[07:41] <LinAsH> hello, I forgot the name of the (only) free flash player that plays video,  someone can help me ?
[07:41] <warpzero> is there a metapackage for all the development tools and documentation you'll ever need
[07:41] <sureshot> this page is not a wiki page
[07:41] <Arrick2> well I guess I will just go to windows for help with ubuntu, seems thats the only place I can get answers, thanks anyways guys and gals, have fun.
[07:41] <POVaddct> jelly-home: then install xubuntu
[07:41] <Doc__> I know where to get it and everything im having problems running it
[07:41] <EvanIsaac> kensentme: so now i installed the .inf files,  now what?
[07:42] <jelly-home> LinAsH: the only free flash I know of is gnash
[07:42] <LinAsH> thanks jelly-home
[07:42] <ompaul> Doc__, if you follow those instuctions it should help you install it so that it works - check the steps you took
[07:42] <sam_k> How do you enable directory browsing in apache?

[07:43] <Doc__> and what they did to fix it
[07:43] <KenSentMe> ricky: have you closed firefox completely and restarted it?
[07:43] <sioux> hi how can I upgrade my nvidia driver?
[07:43] <rayston> how do I figure out what is wrong with my HD that suddenly is unavailable?
[07:43] <eracc> Arrick2, you are asking about firewall setup. Many people know nothing about that. However, I use a set of scripts for my clients running Linux based web/e-mail servers. I found the scripts on tldp.org and modified them.
[07:43] <ricky> nno
[07:43] <KenSentMe> Doc__: try running it from console
[07:43] <KenSentMe> Doc__: maybe you get an error
[07:43] <ricky> how can i do that?
[07:43] <Doc__> what command would i use
[07:43] <eracc> ... and he left while I was typing ...
[07:43] <KenSentMe> ricky:  close firefox
[07:43] <_Spire_> AlexC: I got smartftp running with wine... sort of
[07:43] <KenSentMe> ricky: and all ff windows. The run it again
[07:44] <intelikey>        anyone in here know anything about getting a generic js0 to work ?  or maybe i should be asking, howto enable a gameport on the sound card ?     anyone ?
[07:44] <ricky> what?
[07:44] <Doc__> what command do i use
[07:44] <ricky> can you explain
[07:44] <KenSentMe> ricky: just close firefox
[07:44] <ricky> yah

[07:45] <KenSentMe> Doc__: yes
[07:45] <Doc__> ok
[07:46] <ricky> no
[07:46] <warpzero> sethk, yeah that fixed it
[07:46] <KenSentMe> ricky: did you install flashplugin-nonfree?
[07:47] <warpzero> sethk, thanks
[07:47] <ashzilla> is there a command to exit out of ssh safely?
[07:47] <ricky> when i type about:plugins only it tells me that i have java installed

[07:47] <POVaddct> ashzilla: just exit the shell
[07:47] <KenSentMe> ashzilla: type exit
[07:47] <ashzilla> Okay.
[07:47] <KenSentMe> ricky: no, just the package in ubuntu
[07:47] <ricky> en i have flashplugin-nonfree instaled
[07:47] <eracc> mipstien, that depends on your GUI for the most part. One can assign applications to custom keys in both KDE and Gnome (IIRC). How to do that I know not (I don't use those GUIs).
[07:47] <Doc__> i need a new version of both java and sun java
[07:47] <AlanL> Hi, has anyone here had any experience with covide - the groupware app

[07:48] <ricky> so what i have to do?
[07:48] <KenSentMe> ricky: hmm that's strange. Did you get any errors when you installed the package?
[07:48] <eracc> mipstien, I can tell you how to assign custom keybindings in fluxbox ... probably not what you want though. :-)
[07:48] <ricky> no
[07:48] <ricky> i typed sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[07:49] <mipstien> i was using fluxbox last week :P just reinstalled eveyrhting tho
[07:49] <ashzilla> Where would the configuration file be located for proftpd?
[07:49] <ashzilla> So I can add users. :o
[07:49] <tonyyarusso> prophet: Try looking into xbindkeys
[07:49] <KenSentMe> ricky: are you sure you closed firefox completely, so all windows (like downloads) are closed?
[07:50] <infbliss> messed up the /etc/sudoers file. can anybody tell me what can i do
[07:50] <ricky> yah
[07:50] <sureshot> who ever needed that aiglx url did you get it
[07:50] <KenSentMe> ashzilla: there's no config file for proftpd users. The main config file is /etc/proftpd.conf
[07:51] <ashzilla> KenSentMe: Is that where I'd add a user?
[07:51] <ericz> proftpd uses system users, doesn't it?
[07:51] <ashzilla> KenSentMe: I'm just trying to make an ftp account for my server to avoid having to transfer files through scp.
[07:51] <KenSentMe> ashzilla: what ericz says. Proftpd uses system users
[07:52] <ompaul> infbliss, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25421/
[07:52] <Warbo> Hi, I am trying to get the demo of Quake 3 running, but I can't get sound. I have followed the suggestions in the help wiki page, and TLDP suggested running it through artsd, but artsd doesn't run :(
[07:52] <eracc> ashzilla, I use kermit over ssh from columbia.edu to x-fer data all the time. IMO that is better than setting up an insecure FTP server.
[07:53] <green_earz> ashzilla: you can use sftp over ssh,   there is a gui app gftp
[07:53] <KenSentMe> ricky: i have no ideas anymore, maybe a reboot works?
[07:53] <ricky> that doesn'y work
[07:53] <ricky> i did it
[07:53] <ashzilla> green_earz: I plan on disabling ssh login via password, will that method still work with gftp?
[07:54] <ashzilla> (I use gftp frequently)
[07:54] <rayston> how do I figure out what is wrong with my HD that suddenly is unavailable?
[07:54] <rayston> what tools are available to me?
[07:54] <sioux> folks how can I install kernel source? With synaptic linux-image-source seems installed in /usr/src as tar.bz2 file. Is it normal?
[07:55] <green_earz> ashzilla:   gftp will work on ssh key,  just ssh-agent then ssh-add
[07:55] <syosoft> hey guys, so i did something really stupid. i was trying to mount a new volume but fstab wasnt letting me save over it, so without a 2nd thought, i rm /etc/fstab....
[07:55] <Warbo> sioux: linux-source-2.6.15 will make a tarball in /usr/src, yes. The headers, which are needed for compiling modules, can be installed from the package linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[07:55] <syosoft> how can i recover/recreate that file??
[07:55] <syosoft> i havent rebooted yet...
[07:55] <ricky> ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
[07:55] <Warbo> syosoft: Look around the web for one, then tweak it to suit your computer
[07:56] <KenSentMe> ricky: maybe you could try installing firefox manually like is written on this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats
[07:56] <Warbo> syosoft: I could pastebin mine if you want
[07:56] <yemu> hi, can I ask some edgy question here?
[07:56] <KenSentMe> yemu: you better check #ubuntu+1 channel
[07:56] <yemu> ok, thanks
[07:56] <Szef666> sysoft: get Warbo's fstab and consult it with your /etc/mtab
[07:56] <syosoft> i dont even knwo my needs. i'm still a linux noob....maybe i could pastebin what mount tells me and a kind soul could rebuild it for me?
[07:56] <sioux> warbo I need that for upgrade my nvidia driver. The installar says that I do not have source kernel even if I installed the linux image source
[07:56] <syosoft> mtab you say...
[07:56] <syosoft> yea, i'll take whateve ri can get - greatly appreciated.
[07:57] <eracc> syosoft, you just proved that one can still FUBAR an OS even using sudo? :-)
[07:57] <Warbo> sioux: Drivers need the headers
[07:57] <syosoft> hah, yea, no doubt.
[07:57] <syosoft> i feel like a dolt.
[07:57] <ashzilla> if I su root, what command can I enter to return to my other none su account?
[07:57] <KenSentMe> ashzilla: exit
[07:57] <Chousuke> ctrl-d works too
[07:58] <ashzilla> KenSentMe: No, I mean... If I was ssh'd and while in the remote box su'd
[07:58] <Warbo> OK, this is my fstab http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25423/
[07:58] <KenSentMe> ashzilla: that works too
[07:58] <sonium> I think I corrupted my system by loosing data. Can someone tell my how I can check LVM partitions?
[07:58] <eracc> syosoft, oh, don't feel bad. I did an 'rm -rf /home/user *' while in /etc as root once while on a PRODUCTION SCO Unixware 7 box. :-)
[07:58] <Chousuke> ashzilla: su launches another shell
[07:58] <Warbo> "sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)"
[07:58] <Chousuke> ashzilla: exit just exits that shell
[07:59] <Szef666> Warbo: pls, paste ls -la /media and  ls -la /dev/hd* for me...
[07:59] <syosoft> yea, that line doestn read good....
[07:59] <Olof> this is a bit of topic, but can i burn a CD iso (ubuntu iso) on  a dvd?
[07:59] <syosoft> am i waiting for  a paste bin or we still in limbo?
[07:59] <ashzilla> How can I change the password of a new user account
[07:59] <Warbo> sonium: You can check the filesystems on the logical volumes, but not the actual partitions. In other words run fsck on /dev/mapper/VolumeGroupName-VolumeName rather than /dev/hdXX
[07:59] <Szef666> Warbo: cause I messed it and automounting partitions got crazy
[07:59] <ravalox> how do you take a screenshot with xine?
[08:00] <KenSentMe> ashzilla: sudo passwd <username>
[08:00] <sonium> ok.. will try that
[08:01] <dfgas> what do you think would be better, a celeron 700 or a p3 667. its only 37mhz difference
[08:01] <eracc> syosoft, what the 'rm -rf /home/user *' while in /etc did was remove the user, "/home/user" as intended, and then everything under /etc, "*" as not intended. I skipped the "/" between user and *.
[08:01] <syosoft> and whats worse is that i mindfully ctrl+c everything in that file.
[08:01] <Warbo> I bet this isn't much use, but here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25424/
[08:01] <syosoft> and when i did
[08:01] <syosoft> sudo /etc/fstab
[08:01] <Olof> dfgas: p3
[08:01] <syosoft> adn then ctrl+v nothing was there, was a shame.
[08:01] <green_earz> dfgas:  same here the p3
[08:01] <syosoft> ah, yea, that really doesnt sound good.

[08:02] <syosoft> is there any information i can give to you guys what would assist in recreating fstab for me?

[08:02] <DoubleT> I'm having some trouble installing apache, php5 and MySQL on Ubuntu Desktop ! :(
[08:03] <Warbo> syosoft: Pastebin "mount"
[08:03] <KenSentMe> gnomefreak: thanx
[08:03] <syosoft> k, doing it now.
[08:03] <jrib> DoubleT: have you seen the wiki page?
[08:03] <Warbo> (I mean the output of the command, before you go and pastebin the word "mount" :) )
[08:03] <DoubleT> i know
[08:03] <sonium> how can I mount LVMs?
[08:03] <anon32> help!
[08:03] <syosoft> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25425/
[08:03] <jrib> DoubleT: that means yes, you have seen the wiki page?
[08:03] <whazilla> damn what's black man's prob
[08:03] <Warbo> sonium: try "ls /dev/mapper"
[08:03] <DoubleT> everything went fine, untill I tried to sudo apt-get mysql-server
[08:03] <anon32> what repository do I need to add in order to get mplayer?
[08:03] <Warbo> sonium: that should tell you the device names
[08:03] <BlueLaguna> Hello, I'm trying to install the msttcorefonts package, but it says "Package msttcorefonts is not available, but is referred to by another package."
[08:04] <BlueLaguna> I have all sources uncommented
[08:04] <jrib> DoubleT: what happened then?
[08:04] <sureshot> gnomefreek thanks man i tried but i am not a channel operator
[08:04] <Warbo> anon32: multiverse I htink
[08:04] <anon32> Warbo: synaptic doesn't report a repository by that name..
[08:04] <jrib> BlueLaguna: you need dapper multiverse
[08:04] <Warbo> sonium: device names might also be in "/dev/VolumeGroupName"
[08:04] <sonium> Warbo: thx, was in the mapper
[08:05] <Warbo> anon32: "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu dapper multiverse"
[08:05] <DoubleT> jrib: I get the follwoing error:
[08:05] <DoubleT> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[08:05] <DoubleT>   mysql-server: Depends: mysql-client (>= 4.0.24-10ubuntu2.3)
[08:05] <DoubleT> E: Broken packages
[08:05] <Warbo> (I think)
[08:05] <anon32> mm, synaptic reports something called backport
[08:05] <anon32> what's that?
[08:05] <BlueLaguna> jrib: oh yeah, thanks, I forgot I had to add that
[08:05] <Warbo> anon32: That is newer package versions than in regular ubuntu
[08:05] <jrib> DoubleT: ok, do you have any unofficial repositories?  Or have you installed any unofficial packages?
[08:06] <tonyyarusso> anon32: It's a repo for newer versions of packages that someone thought was worth packaging up for the current release.
[08:06] <DoubleT> jrib: euhm, dont know
[08:06] <syosoft> I also have tihs
[08:06] <syosoft> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25426/
[08:06] <DoubleT> jrib: like what ?
[08:06] <Warbo> Ubuntu only gets updates when there are security/stability issues. Backports exist for features
[08:06] <jrib> DoubleT: ok, pastebin your sources.list please
[08:06] <syosoft>  /dev/hdb is what i was trying to mount.
[08:06] <tonyyarusso> anon32: The usual policy is that after version freeze (before release date), all of the packages stay the same except for security updates.  Backports allows you to get feature updates on select things too.
[08:07] <earthian> hello
[08:07] <KenSentMe> earthian: hi
[08:07] <anon32> mm, I have 168 updates to install..
[08:07] <warpzero> HERRO
[08:07] <Warbo> syosoft: Sorry, I didn't see your original paste, I'm taking a look now :)
[08:07] <anon32> god, this is worse than Windows
[08:08] <Warbo> anon32: Why? Because all of the updates are in one convenient place, rather than seperate websites?
[08:08] <mike_stern> patrick@snoopy:~$ ls -al private

[08:08] <anon32> Warbo: still, 168 updates...
[08:08] <piquadrat> hi all. I have a problem with the Installer from Edgy Eft Beta. On hardware detection, the installer crashes with the message "HwDetect failed with code 10". Anyone seen this already and knows how to solve it? Happens both with Ubuntu and Kubuntu
[08:08] <mike_stern> i am getting access denied
[08:08] <mike_stern> even though its set SUID
[08:08] <syosoft> No worries.
[08:08] <mike_stern> s
[08:08] <foo> vncviewer -compresslevel 0 -quality 0 <IP_ADDRESS> - why does the quality look the same if I leave out these options?
[08:08] <anon32> anyway, what's the name of the mplayer package?
[08:08] <anon32> and the name of the codec pack?
[08:08] <mike_stern> ./private returns access denied
[08:08] <KenSentMe> piquadrat: check the #ubuntu+1 channel for edgy stuff
[08:08] <mike_stern> can someone explain to me?
[08:08] <earthian> how do i configure my ubuntu so my samba shares would be accesible from windows systems??? Now i see the ubuntu computer however when i open it it asks me for a password. i enter root/pw and i get access denied i enter then other user name and passw but it does not connect to me to my samba shares. HOW DO I DO IT?
[08:08] <earthian> !samba
[08:08] <ubotu> samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[08:09] <mitrovarr> any idea what kind of linux support I'd be looking at with a radeon x1900 xt?  I'm building a new system
[08:09] <piquadrat> KenSentMe: ok, thanks!
[08:09] <mitrovarr> I know in the past ATI had semi-acceptable linux support, but I think I might have heard that the x1--- cards didn't have any support whatsoever
[08:09] <anon32> gah, I'm in dependency hell
[08:09] <mike_stern> private: just echoes $UID
[08:09] <KenSentMe> !ati > mitrovarr
[08:09] <mike_stern> i wanna check if sUId is working correctly
[08:09] <bertugolu> Hello, can anyone explain me how to set up the apache server?
[08:10] <troughton> how can i browse my ubuntu network ?? it is not showing anyware
[08:10] <KenSentMe> !lamp > bertugolu
[08:10] <KenSentMe> bertugolu: check what ubotu tells you
[08:10] <bertugolu> ok
[08:10] <bertugolu> 10x
[08:10] <waxfactor2nd> hi i gues you guys are getting tired of me but i really need the computer working fast. now im using a livecd, and want to dual boot with ubuntu and xp. ive followed the tutorials to make dualboot but i dont work, i get an error 22. and when i put in the windows cd and start to load i get a black dos lookalike screen, with a thing blinking without i can write anything there... anyone knows how to make it all work??
[08:11] <mitrovarr> I know that I should be able to use fglx in theory, but I heard that it didn't work on some modern cards.  Anyone know anything about that?
[08:11] <Warbo> syosoft: OK, I am a little confused here. Is /dev/hda5 your swap?
[08:11] <anon32> say, where are the kernel headers up for download?
[08:11] <porkpie> Does anyone know if ubuntu 6.0.6 LTS amd64 has the correct driver for the PERC 5/i This is a rebranded LSI Logic MegaRAID card, megaraid_sas driver ?
[08:11] <Warbo> anon32: archive.ubuntu.com
[08:11] <syosoft> It appears to be.
[08:11] <KenSentMe> mitrovarr: maybe you can ask your question in the #ati channel. That's for ati support on linux
[08:12] <Warbo> syosoft: OK
[08:12] <syosoft> i'm just going by my 2nd pastebin
[08:12] <mitrovarr> KenSentMe:  Good idea, thanks.
[08:12] <Warbo> syosoft: And you want hdb to mount where? (also, is that hdb1? The fdisk paste doesn't show the partitions for some reason)
[08:12] <syosoft>  /mnt/storage
[08:12] <Warbo> ok
[08:13] <syosoft> er well, it's not mounted - its a single partition on the drive - fat32
[08:13] <mkquist> waxfactor2nd - u get a grub error 22? have u tried reinstalling grub w/live cd?
[08:13] <syosoft> this all came about because i wastrying to mount hdb
[08:13] <waxfactor2nd> yes
[08:13] <syosoft> and fstab was readonly, so i figure a quick copy of the file contents -> rm it -> recreate it -> paste content and dave.....
[08:14] <waxfactor2nd> or how do i install the grub??
[08:14] <syosoft> wasnt expecting the clipboard to vanish
[08:14] <syosoft> of course cp woulda worked well :-/
[08:14] <jrib> Double1: are you using breezy or are you using dapper?
[08:14] <Double1> euhmm Ubuntu 6.01 TLS ?
[08:14] <Warbo> OK, this should work http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25431/
[08:15] <earthian> !smbfs
[08:15] <ubotu> smbfs: mount and umount commands for the smbfs (for kernels >= than 2.2.x). In component main, is optional. Version 3.0.22-1ubuntu3.1 (dapper), package size 369 kB, installed size 888 kB
[08:15] <Warbo> but there may be a few things missing like CDROMs and floppies
[08:15] <earthian> how do i configure my ubuntu so my samba shares would be accesible from windows systems??? Now i see the ubuntu computer however when i open it it asks me for a password. i enter root/pw and i get access denied i enter then other user name and passw but it does not connect to me to my samba shares. HOW DO I DO IT?
[08:15] <Warbo> but at least the system will boot
[08:15] <syosoft> yea, i've got two cd drives
[08:15] <Warbo> oops
[08:15] <KenSentMe> earthian: have you added samba users with smbpasswd?
[08:15] <Warbo> hang on
[08:15] <syosoft> ok, much appreciated, it doesnt look 100% the same, i remember the options being a little weird.
[08:15] <andre> hello
[08:15] <earthian> i believe not
[08:15] <rayston> how do I figure out what is wrong with my HD that suddenly is unavailable?
[08:15] <Warbo> syosoft: one second
[08:15] <syosoft> and you didnt account for the hdb, correct?
[08:15] <rayston> what tools are available to me?
[08:15] <earthian> :)
[08:15] <syosoft> ok, sorry.
[08:15] <syosoft> figures just mvoe too fast sometimes.
[08:15] <jrib> Double1: are you using breezy or are you using dapper?
[08:16] <syosoft> *fingers rather.
[08:16] <waxfactor2nd> how do i wirte my own grub??
[08:16] <XiXaQ> is it normal to not have 1280x1024 as an option in Terminal Server Client?
[08:16] <Warbo> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/25433/
[08:16] <waxfactor2nd> sry how do a fix the grub so i can dual boot
[08:16] <syosoft> you cant use a grub wax, you have to use an earth worm.
[08:16] <Warbo> syosoft: I originally put hdb1 as ext3, but that now says vfat (fat32)
[08:16] <Double1> jrib: I'm using Ubuntu 6.01 TLS  !!!?
[08:16] <waxfactor2nd> what/?
[08:16] <Warbo> !grub > waxfactor2nd
[08:17] <ifrozen> re
[08:17] <KenSentMe> XiXaQ: i don't have the option either
[08:17] <Warbo> waxfactor2nd: That message should tell you
[08:17] <syosoft> ok, excellent, lets hope i dont fux things up on reboot...
[08:17] <jrib> Double1: your source.list are pointing to breezy repositories.  Did you do an upgrade to dapper from breezy or is this a fresh dapper install?
[08:17] <Double1> fresh install
[08:17] <jharr> !dualboot > waxfactor2nd
[08:17] <XiXaQ> KenSentMe, isn't that weird? I had to set screen resolution to 1024x768 in order to have it full screen without using the fullscreen option. But now, the text is blurred.. :(
[08:17] <jrib> Double1: k, what does 'lsb_release -c' output?
[08:18] <troughton> how browse my ubuntu network ??
[08:18] <KenSentMe> XiXaQ: maybe it is, but i don't know much about it
[08:18] <syosoft> if hdb1 is a new mount, should i be able to immediately be able to access it?
[08:18] <Double1> jrib: Codename:       dapper
[08:18] <syosoft> or do i have to run another cmd?
[08:18] <XiXaQ> perhaps I should file a bug report.
[08:18] <KenSentMe> troughton: go to Locations > Networkservers (or something)
[08:18] <troughton> it is not there KenSentMe
[08:19] <syosoft> when i click on the drive icon -> mount: only root can mount /dev/hdb1 on /mnt/storage
[08:19] <Warbo> Can anyone help me with Quake 3 sound? I have tried with ESD and without, artsd doesn't work on my system for some reason, fuser /dev/dsp says nobody is using it but still Quake 3 can't open it
[08:19] <syosoft> thoughts?
[08:19] <jrib> Double1: k, you are going to need to get a sources.list for dapper.  I hope you haven't installed much from the breezy repos
[08:19] <jrib> ubotu: tell Double1 about easysource
[08:19] <KenSentMe> troughton: what options do you have then?
[08:19] <KenSentMe> troughton: in locations
[08:19] <Warbo> syosoft: Ah, fat32 has no permission system, so the option "uid-yourusername, users" might be a good thing to put in fstab
[08:19] <Warbo> oops
[08:20] <jrib> Double1: go to page ubotu sent you and create a dapper sources.list.  I recommend sticking to the official repos (main, restricted, universe, multiverse).  Do you know how to then replace your current sources.list with the new one?
[08:20] <Warbo> "uid=yourusername, users"
[08:20] <troughton> only windows network but i dont have a windows mashiene
[08:20] <syosoft> um, i'm putting that at the end of the partition entry in fstab?
[08:20] <Double1> jrib: yes i know how to replace sources.list
[08:20] <KenSentMe> troughton: do you have samba installed?
[08:20] <eracc> Then it is not a Windows network ...
[08:20] <troughton> no
[08:20] <Warbo> syosoft: under the column "options"
[08:20] <jrib> Double1: ok, see if that resolves your problems
[08:20] <syosoft> ok, thanks, trying now.
[08:21] <andre> do you guys use linux on palm pilot and is there a lot of software for it
[08:21] <Warbo> "users" should let regular users mount it, and "uid=yourusername" lets the user "yourusername" own the files
[08:21] <eracc> OIC, a Windows network but need a Linux machine to access it. DOH!
[08:21] <KenSentMe> troughton: you can connect to an other ubuntu system with 'Connect to server' and the use ssh
[08:21] <syosoft> hrm, double clicking on it and nothing is happening.
[08:22] <Double1> jrib: i'll give it a try, thnx
[08:22] <eracc> troughton, you are attempting to use your Ubuntu system on a network comprised of Window$ systems, correct?
[08:22] <KenSentMe> andre: i used to use one, and i could sync with evolution
[08:22] <ashzilla> scp /home/ashzilla/.ssh/id_rsa ryan@mydomain.net:/home/ryan/.ssh/authorized_keys2
[08:22] <ashzilla> why is this not woking?
[08:22] <Double1> jrib: i doesn't seem to solve my problem
[08:22] <troughton> no eracc i am temtping to use my network comprised of 2 ubuntu mashiens through a router
[08:23] <CTU24> is there an editor that I can use with ubuntu server, that is more similar to the old msDOS's "EDIT" ?
[08:23] <slight> ashzilla, what error do you get?
[08:23] <andre> evolution?
[08:23] <KenSentMe> Double1: did you do sudo apt-get update and dist-upgrade?
[08:23] <KenSentMe> troughton: use the ssh option then in connect to server
[08:23] <ashzilla> slight: that there's no such file.
[08:23] <Double1> i have run pasted the source.list generated from the link
[08:23] <Double1> run the sudo apt-get update command
[08:23] <Double1> then tried to run the following command: sudo apt-get install mysql-server
[08:24] <troughton> use ssh where ?? KenSentMe
[08:24] <KenSentMe> CTU24: try nano
[08:24] <eracc> troughton, hrm. Ok. You need to use either SAMBA or NFS in my experience. I would recommend NFS. Of course KenSentMe is giving you another option.
[08:24] <Warbo> syosoft: "sudo mount -a"
[08:24] <KenSentMe> troughton: go to connect to server\
[08:24] <Double1> jrib: i get the following error:
[08:24] <Double1> The following packages have unmet dependencies:
[08:24] <Double1>   mysql-server: Depends: mysql-client (>= 4.0.24-10ubuntu2.3)
[08:24] <Double1> E: Broken packages
[08:24] <KenSentMe> Double1: did you update?
[08:24] <syosoft> hrm, reporting that it's 0 bytes
[08:24] <Geoffrey2> can anyone help me troubleshoot a Broadcom wireless NIC...the card appears to be up and running, but I can't get it to connect to the router, and I want to make sure I'm not missing something obvious here
[08:24] <Warbo> ?
[08:24] <syosoft> unless th drive got fried it should be a couple gb of data
[08:24] <Warbo> syosoft: hdb1?
[08:24] <syosoft> if thats what th epartition is
[08:25] <syosoft> :-/
[08:25] <Warbo> see what "fdisk -l" gives with regards to hdb
[08:25] <syosoft> i'm just confused heh
[08:25] <CTU24> KenSentMe: can I use apt-get to get nano onto my ubuntu box?
[08:25] <Warbo> (your earlier paste did not include hdb)
[08:25] <Double1> KenSentMe: Yes i did a update
[08:25] <KenSentMe> CTU24: i think it's installed by default
[08:25] <ColdFyre> it is installed by default
[08:25] <syosoft> it wouldnt - unless it was mounted - right?
[08:25] <ColdFyre> and pico
[08:25] <CTU24> kensentme: oofercool
[08:25] <KenSentMe> Double1: and did you do sudo apt-get dist-upgrade?
[08:26] <CTU24> Kensentme: thank you
[08:26] <KenSentMe> CTU24: no problem
[08:26] <syosoft> this is what it says now: /dev/hdb1               1        3321    26675901    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
[08:26] <intrin[a] > DCC SEND "startkeylogger" 0 0 0
[08:26] <Double1> KenSentMe: no, why ?
[08:26] <Warbo> syosoft: fdisk looks at the drives' partition tables, so it doesn't matter whether they are mounted or not
[08:26] <syosoft> hrm, ok, but it's giving me info now
[08:26] <KenSentMe> Double1: because you added new repositories (from Breezy to Dapper) so the new packages should be installed first
[08:26] <Warbo> OK that is what fstab is set up for. Weird
[08:26] <syosoft>  /dev/hdb1               1        3321    26675901    c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
[08:27] <syosoft> if i go to /etc/storage i should be able to browse the drive?
[08:27] <Double1> KenSentMe: i think i did not do an upgrade from breezy to dapper
[08:27] <syosoft> yup
[08:27] <Entity> Hi, is there a apt command that helps you finding out which package provides a specific file even if the package is not installed on the system?
[08:27] <syosoft> i see it all in there
[08:27] <Warbo> syosoft: After either rebooting or running "sudo mount -a" then yes
[08:27] <syosoft> thats fine, i only wanted to mount the drive to copyo the contents locally
[08:27] <troughton> do i have to install samba on both mashiens ??
[08:27] <Warbo> Entity: apt-file does that I think
[08:27] <syosoft> thanks again, i'll probably be back for more help about correcting my problem. thanks a lot warbo.
[08:27] <Geoffrey2> in Xchat, how do I specify a port number for a server?
[08:28] <KenSentMe> Double1: have updated your sources.list like jrib told you?
[08:28] <Double1> yes i did
[08:28] <bertugolu> how can i remove a file from the terminal?
[08:28] <Entity> Warbo, ok thanks let me check it out
[08:28] <Warbo> bertugolu: "rm filename"
[08:28] <bertugolu> ok
[08:29] <Warbo> Entity: It takes a while building a database the first time you run it though
[08:29] <KenSentMe> Double1: in that file it said breezy where it should be dapper. Now that is changed you have updated your sources.list to dapper
[08:29] <KenSentMe> Double1: you have to install the dapper version of the packages
[08:29] <eracc> Geoffrey2, XChat -> Network list -> (pick network) -> Edit -> (pick server) -> Edit -> (server/port)
[08:30] <mxpxpod> I'm trying to install from the beta edgy install CD, but when I go to create my xfs partitions, mkfs.xfs cannot be run because librt.so.1 is not found... what should I do?
[08:30] <eracc> Geoffrey2, Like - chat.us.freenode.net/8001
[08:30] <Double1> KenSentMe: I created a source list on the website jrib gave me, and I pasted that in the sources.list file
[08:30] <BlueLaguna> What's the name of that package with all the mplayer codecs?
[08:30] <syosof1> heya...
[08:30] <KenSentMe> Double1: and have you saved the file?
[08:30] <Double1> KenSentMe: yes I saved the file
[08:31] <Warbo> BlueLaguna: "w32codecs" but it is not in any official repos
[08:31] <syosof1> copying all directories to a location: cp /etc/storage * ~/Desktop/stuff isnt quite working
[08:31] <syosof1> wats the cp switch?
[08:31] <tristanmike> can I have Cedega and Wine installed at the same time ?
[08:31] <Warbo> !restricted > BlueLaguna
[08:31] <Geoffrey2> eracc, ah, that's it, thanks...I'm used to using Mirc, which had a seperate field to put the port number in
[08:31] <Chousuke> syosof1: cp -r
[08:31] <Double1> KenSentMe: but the file only contains breezy words, like in the following line:
[08:31] <Double1> deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy universe multiverse
[08:31] <syosof1> ty
[08:31] <Warbo> BlueLaguna: That page will tell you how to get it
[08:31] <Double1> KenSentMe: is that correct ?
[08:31] <BlueLaguna> Warbo: thanks
[08:31] <kitche> tristanmike: yes you can have them installed at the same time
[08:31] <Warbo> np
[08:31] <KenSentMe> Double1: no
[08:32] <Chousuke> syosof1: I doubt you mean /etc/storage * though
[08:32] <KenSentMe> Double1: did you use easysource?
[08:32] <KenSentMe> !easysource
[08:32] <ubotu> source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[08:32] <syosof1> hah
[08:32] <syosof1> right, i meant mnt/
[08:32] <tristanmike> kitche: so the wine I get from the repos won't conflict with Cedegas wine ?
[08:32] <syosof1> but yt. it's working like a charm.
[08:32] <Double1> KenSentMe: yes i used that, i forgot the set the dropdown box to dapper !
[08:32] <Double1> My bad
[08:32] <Chousuke> syosof1: did you have the space before the *?
[08:32] <syosof1> but i did mean /mnt/storage * ;) moving a "remove" drive local - temporary mount.
[08:33] <KenSentMe> Double1: well it's strange that the standard option is Breezy
[08:33] <BlueLaguna> Warbo: hmm, is there a way to add the plf repo?
[08:33] <syosof1> yea, i just didnt have -r so it "skipping directory"
[08:33] <Chousuke> syosof1: if so, it will copy everything from the current directory :P
[08:33] <BlueLaguna> if it's a repo at all
[08:33] <MenZa> I'm attempting to export a document from OO.o to a PDF onto my USB key and it seems to save--even when I refresh the folder in Konqueror. Though, when I remove the drive, it's no longer present. Any ideas?
[08:33] <syosof1> yes, thats what i want
[08:33] <syosof1> ;)
[08:33] <Chousuke> good.
[08:33] <syosof1> thanks again.
[08:33] <Chousuke> that's a common error with rm :P
[08:33] <Double1> KenSentMe: I'll give it another try
[08:33] <MenZa> I've even attempted to save the file onto my harddrive, then copy it.
[08:33] <MenZa> No luck.
[08:33] <Warbo> BlueLaguna: Yes, "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" (but I don't know if they exist anymore, I kept getting 404s)
[08:33] <jdrake> Is there any minimal iso for ubuntu that is ~100mb or less?
[08:34] <BHSPitLappy> don't believe so
[08:34] <Warbo> MenZa: You have been unmounting the drive before unplugging it haven't you?
[08:34] <MenZa> Warbo: no, it automatically unmounts and mounts the drive.
[08:34] <MenZa> (afaik)
[08:34] <Warbo> you must right click the icon and select "unmount" or "eject" otherwise some cached data may not get written
[08:35] <MenZa> ah.
[08:35] <Warbo> THEN unplug it
[08:35] <MenZa> Sweet, thanks
[08:35] <jdrake> I tried the xubuntu disk and found it does not work very well on my system, part due to media and part due to age of machine. I need something like a basic text installer for it.
[08:35] <Geoffrey2> ok, back on port 8001, so at least I know I'll be staying in here.....
[08:35] <Warbo> Does any port work for coming in here or not?
[08:35] <kitche> jdrake: the alternate cd is what you want
[08:35] <jdrake> ok
[08:36] <MenZa> that works Warbo
[08:36] <MenZa> ty
[08:36] <Warbo> Just that my Uni blocks the default one, and I had to google to find out about 8001 being used to get around that exploit
[08:36] <Warbo> you're welcome
[08:36] <Double1> KenSentMe: It all works fine now, thnx a lot
[08:37] <KenSentMe> Double1: great, and have fun!
[08:37] <Double1> got to go now,
[08:37] <Double1> cya
[08:38] <Chm0d> is there like a control panel so i can check on advanced controls for sound?
[08:38] <Geoffrey2> Warbo, I just need port 8001 because my router is vulnerable to that exploit, and Netgear apparently doesn't see the need to provide a fix for it
[08:38] <Enthusiast78> Greetings! I'm running breezy on my 112MB RAM PC. Do you think upgrading to dapper would cause performance issues?
[08:38] <geniusvicks> what does "save current set up" in the log out/shut down dialog mean?
[08:38] <Warbo> Geoffrey2: Yeah, but it seems to be useful for other reasons as well (like mine) :)
[08:38] <kitche> Geoffrey2: there is a fix for it
[08:39] <Enthusiast78> geniusvicks, it saves your desktop customizations
[08:39] <Warbo> geniusvicks: The applications you have open will be restarted when you next log in
[08:39] <geniusvicks> Warbo thanks
[08:39] <geniusvicks> now I understand
[08:39] <Geoffrey2> kitche, great, what is it?
[08:39] <SAM_theman> how i convert .mp3's to waves??
[08:39] <SAM_theman> .wav..
[08:40] <Warbo> SAM_theman: get mpg123 and use it's "-w" option
[08:40] <Warbo> (or is that mpg321? I get confused)
[08:40] <stu_> why convert mp3 to wav :S
[08:40] <kitche> Geoffrey2: it has to do with a packeting feature in your router trying to fidn the exact name of it right now
[08:40] <Warbo> stu_: Because Wave is lossless :)
[08:40] <Geoffrey2> actually, #1 on my priority list is getting my wireless connection working again
[08:40] <oona> does anyone here know why the mozilla-mplaer plugin will not install through synaptoc?
[08:40] <stu_> not after its been converted from mp3
[08:40] <Warbo> stu_: exactly
[08:40] <SAM_theman> thanks
[08:41] <stu_> so, why convert from mp3 to wav
[08:41] <SAM_theman> its installing
[08:41] <stu_> it will sound the same if not worse
[08:41] <troughton> ok KenSentMe i have opend up connect to server and put my files on share folder on my other mashiene whant now ??
[08:41] <Enthusiast78> stu_, to test your filesystem
[08:41] <Warbo> Also, can soundconverter do that? I think it can, but I have only ever used it to convert to Ogg Vorbis
[08:41] <Geoffrey2> about 2 days ago my Ubuntu install ate itself, basically, forcing a complete reinstall, so I'm trying to get everything up and running again
[08:41] <stu_> eh lol
[08:41] <stu_> doesnt matter :)
[08:42] <corevette> how do you uninstall a plugin in firefox...or at least disable it
[08:42] <dbr> Use the extensions list?
[08:42] <BeepAU> i have a usb disk, it responds in windows and it responds in xubuntu, but for some reason i can't get it to show up in my ubuntu machine. i type lsusb into the terminal, it knows it's there. it just won't come up.
[08:42] <Enthusiast78> so... should I upgrade breezy to dapper on a 112 MB pc or not
[08:42] <Enthusiast78> ?
[08:43] <BeepAU> can anyone help me?
[08:43] <brian98> Enthusiast78, try the live cd and see how responsive it is?
[08:43] <dbr> Mentally or with computer related problems, BeepAU?
[08:43] <Doc__> what sudo command would i use to delete things from the /root folder
[08:43] <dbr> sudo rm /root/file
[08:43] <BeepAU> dbr - the latter
[08:43] <Enthusiast78> brian98, the live cd won't even run. it requires 256 MB.
[08:44] <brian98> Enthusiast78, that may be your answer then :)
[08:44] <Enthusiast78> brian98, lol thanks :)
[08:44] <BeepAU> Enthusiast78 - use the alternate cd. it has a text install.
[08:44] <dbr> Enthusiast78 : Try the server install, then install something like fluxbox
[08:44] <Geoffrey2> I've WiFi light is on, but I can't seem to establish a connection with the router....since I had one before the meltdown, I know it works...just not sure what I need to do to get it back again
[08:44] <brian98> Enthusiast78, http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,126471-page,1/article.html?RSS=RSS
[08:44] <BeepAU> Enthusiast78 - however, you might wanna check out xubuntu, it'd probaly be nicer to your machine.
[08:44] <brian98> Enthusiast78, gives info on machines with < 192mb
[08:45] <dbr> Or Flubuntu
[08:45] <Doc__> what sudo command would i use to delete things from the /root folde
[08:45] <Enthusiast78> brian98, Yeah, I was thinking about it. thanks a lot
[08:45] <infbliss> !Flubuntu
[08:45] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about Flubuntu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:45] <dbr> Doc__ : sudo rm /root/blah
[08:45] <Doc__> ok thanks
[08:45] <dbr> http://fluxbuntu.org/
[08:46] <Warbo> If someone has a few minutes to spare I could really do with some feedback on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CDSharingTrackerMockup
[08:46] <DoubleT> what tools, should i use to configure mySQL ?
[08:47] <oona> does anyone here know why the mozilla-mplaer plugin will not install through synaptoc?
[08:47] <dbr> DoubleT : PHPmyAdmin?
[08:47] <kitche> Geoffrey2: well that exploit turns off the internet so you might have to powercycle the router to get full function back
[08:47] <CONDE> Que onda
[08:47] <BeepAU> well, could anyone help me with my problem concerning the usb disk?
[08:47] <CONDE> alguien habla espaniol???
[08:47] <m1sh-L> i seach a howto to install aiglx under edgy eft! can someone help me?
[08:47] <infbliss> oona:try easyubuntu
[08:47] <infbliss> !easyubuntu
[08:47] <ubotu> EasyUbuntu is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. See http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ ; for help and or discussions about EasyUbuntu please join #easyubuntu.
[08:47] <DoubleT> dbr: does phpmyadmin do a good job, creating user in mysql ?
[08:48] <Doc__> and a command to move something
[08:48] <Warbo> m1sh-L: help.ubuntu.com/community
[08:48] <CONDE> did somebody help me for a internet video player???
[08:48] <kitche> m1sh-L: well aiglx is installed already in edgy but #ubuntu+1 is the channel you should go to
[08:48] <Doc__> what command would i use to move something into the /root ffolder
[08:48] <Enthusiast78> DoubleT, phpmyadmin is cool
[08:49] <Warbo> Doc__: "sudo mv filename /root"
[08:49] <oona> easyubuntu sounds too risky to use
[08:49] <oona> can someone recommend a plugin for firefox to play videos?
[08:49] <dbr> Oompa : mplayer-mozilla
[08:50] <infbliss> oona:do you mean videos embedded in flash
[08:50] <Warbo> EasyUbuntu does things in a pretty safe way, but the latest version doesn't seem to come up for me anyway
[08:50] <BeepAU> Doc__ - you could type the command 'gksudo nautilus' and browse as root.
[08:50] <infbliss> oona: i too didnt have any problems with EasyUbuntu
[08:50] <skpl> for some reason synaptic will not install mzilla-mplayer, due to dependency issues
[08:50] <CONDE> did somebody lnow to install macromedia player 8???
[08:50] <Warbo> skpl: Are you on 32bit x86?
[08:51] <skpl> Warbo: 64 bit
[08:51] <skpl> amd 64
[08:51] <skpl> thogh i think i have the 32 bit version of ubuntu installed
[08:51] <Warbo> skpl: Hmm, maybe MPlayer's reliance on 32bit x86 codecs is the problem
[08:51] <Warbo> oh, 32bit install should not cause problems then
[08:51] <infbliss> conde:run the install-flash-player binary
[08:52] <infbliss> conde: have you downloaded the flash player
[08:52] <Warbo> I prefer to get Debian packages of flashplayer like from debian-multimedia.org, since Flash is binary only anyway there is not any more cause for incompatibility concerns than using the Adobe installer
[08:53] <tuv> what happened to gdesklets website?
[08:53] <CTU24> Does apache support cascading style sheets (CSS)?
[08:53] <aMMgYrP> gotta question, what is the easiest way to get WPA suplicant to work with breezy?
[08:54] <Mercutio78> With Rhythym box (which i am using in Ubuntu ;-)), i have to wait aaaaages each time i start it whilst it re-finds my extensive mp3 library.. why does it not store this info and only look for new ones?
[08:54] <Mercutio78> am i doing something wrong?
[08:54] <catalan> someone who speaks spanish?
[08:54] <fdoving> !es > catalan
[08:54] <Jowi> !es
[08:54] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendrn mas ayuda.
[08:54] <tuv> Mercutio78, use amarok
[08:54] <catalan> thanks
[08:54] <Warbo> use Listen :)
[08:54] <troughton> i have my network now showing using samba but i cant access it can anyone help
[08:54] <Warbo> by the way:
[08:54] <Warbo> !best
[08:54] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose among a number of different applications, depending on your preferences, the features you require, and other factors.
[08:54] <catalan> #ubuntu-es
[08:55] <green_earz> CTU24: its the web brower that supports css,
[08:55] <Mercutio78> okay.. so wrt RhythymBox "thats just the way it is"?
[08:55] <tyuio> Mercutio78: you want it to watch for new files?
[08:56] <Warbo> Mercutio78: I would guess Rhythmbox would show the tracks it already knows, then refresh them in the background. That's what Amaork does
[08:56] <tyuio> was just about to say that
[08:56] <silox> hi all, i have a problem with my laptop, i have a monitor connected to it so i am not using the LCD screen on the laptop. The problem is that i cant see the video image when i play videos.. Any ideas?
[08:56] <tyuio> i don't think it does
[08:56] <Mercutio78> rhythmbox is starting by assuming i have non! which is odd
[08:56] <CTU24> green_earz:  oh ok.. I mistakingly thought maybe it was up to apache server as well.  I'm coming from a Windoze/IIS world ...  Where do I put my HTML/PHP/CSS files for each inidivdual website so that apache can serve them up?
[08:57] <tuv> hey.. any idea how listen compares to amarok? i'd prefer a gtk app. but suspect there is one as sophisticated as amarok
[08:57] <Mercutio78> think i will give amarok a try.. but also double check all the settings in rhythmbox
[08:57] <Jowi> Mercutio78: it is odd. not normal behaviour. have a look in the edit preferences library tab
[08:57] <Jowi> Mercutio78: see if "watch my library..." is ticked. if it is, untick it
[08:57] <tyuio> amarok is actually very similar to rhythembox
[08:58] <Warbo> tuv: Listen has a few quirks (web browser only has white BG, so I needed to edit a Python file, playlist system is useless unless you are online for last.fm, etc.)
[08:58] <Mercutio78> Jowi, it is, will untick it.
[08:58] <tuv> tyuio, no way.. amarok is ages ahead of rhythmbox
[08:58] <CTU24> I'm using ubuntu 6.06.1 with Apache2,  Where do I put my HTML/PHP/CSS files for each inidivdual website so that apachecan serve them up?
[08:58] <Asymmetry> What package is the 'screen' utility in?
[08:58] <Asymmetry> CTU24, /var/www
[08:59] <KenSentMe> Is there a mplayer package that displays video in firefox
[08:59] <Warbo> Also, Listen could REALLY do with some keyboard shortcuts (I am forever pressing super-B with Amaork to switch track)
[08:59] <Geoffrey3> anyway, as I was saying during lag death, I could connect to the router once, then a few days ago I had to re-format the partition and reinstall Ubuntu, and I haven't been able to get the wireless connection established since then, so I think something either isn't installed or isn't configured correctly
[08:59] <CTU24> assymetry:  oh ok... I create a separate directory for each website right?  or, is there another way to organize them?
[08:59] <KenSentMe> I mean, in the firefox window
[08:59] <robbbb> hey guys, i've got a question - how do i write a script to start my WM? i've made one but it doesn't seem to work. it only runs the first line
[08:59] <green_earz> CTU24: check out the link it should get you started with apache > http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/412
[09:00] <Asymmetry> What package is the 'screen' utility in?
[09:00] <Warbo> !info mozilla-mplayer
[09:00] <ubotu> mozilla-mplayer: MPlayer-Plugin for Mozilla. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 3.17-1ubuntu1 (dapper), package size 421 kB, installed size 1500 kB

[09:01] <tuv> tyuio, no.. the collection and playlist management and display
[09:01] <Jowi> robbbb: in .xsession you put in all the commands you wish to run before the wm starts. all commands should end with & (for example: terminal &). last line should be "exec mywm"
[09:01] <robbbb> so i put all the commands i want to run FIRST?
[09:02] <Jowi> robbbb: yes. the wm is the last to be executed.
[09:02] <morrye> hi is it possible to unblock people in GAIM? (using MSN)
[09:02] <robbbb> cool. i'll give that a whirl
[09:02] <darkhaze> hey
[09:02] <Jowi> robbbb: don't forget the "&" at the end of the command(s)
[09:02] <stojance> How to compile, link and assemble C++ .cpp and .h files in gcc?
[09:02] <darkhaze> whats a good irc client for ubuntu?
[09:02] <darkhaze> :/
[09:02] <stojance> XCHAT
[09:02] <BazziR> darkhaze: I'm currently writing one ;)
[09:02] <darkhaze> =O
[09:03] <darkhaze> yaya nice but it's still under construction :~ i'll be glad to be able to test when done :]
[09:03] <stojance> Can someone help?
[09:03] <tyuio> tuv: maybe i don't use playlists enough, i deleted the 'favourites' type playlists in rhythembox. amaroK does have nice eye candy though
[09:03] <darkhaze> stojan. xchat gnome or xchat only?
[09:03] <BazziR> darkhaze: will be in edgy+2 hopefully :)
[09:03] <darkhaze> i'm just a newbie on linux and computer programming :/
[09:03] <Warbo> Ouch, I'd better go now since my hands hurt from losing an arm wrestle with a girl
[09:04] <foo> vncviewer -compresslevel 0 -quality 0 <IP_ADDRESS> - why does the  quality look the same if I leave out these options?
[09:04] <darkhaze> but i decided to go open source whatever it happens
[09:04] <tuv> tyuio, i prefer gtk looks over qt/kde ones, though i failed at finding a decent gtk amarok-replacement. i'll give listen a try
[09:04] <BazziR> darkhaze: xchat-gnome is great if you want something simple and working, xchat itself is a bit more powerful but more complex
[09:04] <darkhaze> hrm
[09:04] <darkhaze> i'll try the xchat one
[09:04] <darkhaze> hard or not i'll have to learn it one day (:
[09:05] <GhostFreeman> real men use irssi
[09:05] <darkhaze> whats that ghost?
[09:05] <darkhaze> a script?
[09:06] <GhostFreeman> an IRC client
[09:06] <darkhaze> is it good?
[09:06] <Pekay> is there a date for the Ubuntu 6.10 release or RC?
[09:06] <fdoving> darkhaze: it's good if you like console based applications.
[09:06] <BazziR> !edgy
[09:06] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[09:06] <GhostFreeman> !schedule
[09:06] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[09:06] <tyuio> tuv: first time i've heard of it, just looking at the page now - perhaps i will try it too. I also prefer gtk look and feel :P
[09:07] <BazziR> GhostFreeman: *5*
[09:07] <GhostFreeman> what
[09:07] <BazziR> high five that should be
[09:07] <GhostFreeman> wouldn't just /me high fives _name work?
[09:07] <BazziR> it would :)
[09:09] <mluser-laptop> how do I install upgrades with aptitude that have been 'kept back' ?
[09:10] <darkhaze> sorry for going afk ._.
[09:10] <darkhaze> neways, back to the questions >.<
[09:10] <darkhaze> so considering im a newbie
[09:10] <tonyyarusso> mluser-laptop: Use dist-upgrade instead of just upgrade.
[09:10] <darkhaze> what would u recommend me as
[09:10] <darkhaze> irc client?
[09:10] <mluser-laptop> tonyyarusso: thank you
[09:11] <darkhaze> im using the x-chat now (:
[09:11] <tonyyarusso> darkhaze: Well, I personally use irssi, which is a console client.  If I use graphical it's xchat, but _not_ the new xchat-gnome.  Gaim is great for other protocols, but imo is awful for irc.
[09:12] <tuv> anyone knows what happened to gdesklets website?
[09:12] <darkhaze> hrm
[09:12] <ulfar> Runlevel 2 is the default runlevel, right? How do i add or remove services from the default runlevel?
[09:12] <tonyyarusso> tuv: I think it just moved.
[09:12] <tonyyarusso> !gdesklets
[09:12] <ubotu> gDesklets provides an advanced architecture for desktop applets -- tiny displays sitting on your desktop in a symbiotic relationship of eye candy and usefulness. Homepage is http://gdesklets.gnomedesktop.org/
[09:12] <darkhaze> so i'm gonna stay on x-chat then when i get used to linux maybe i'll try console-based clients :]
[09:12] <tonyyarusso> darkhaze: Good plan.
[09:13] <tuv> tonyyarusso, i can't find neither at gdesklets.gnome.org nor at gdesklets.org
[09:13] <ulfar> !runlevel
[09:13] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about runlevel - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:13] <darkhaze> where are u guys from?
[09:14] <rollerover> can anyonr recommend how to set ubuntu to recognize mu usb wireless, works well with windows. im using a wireless router on another windows machine
[09:14] <octan> hi all
[09:15] <octan> i dont need lvm when i dont raid ? correct?
[09:15] <SAM_theman> why isn't my flash movies playing ???
[09:15] <SAM_theman> but flash is installed
[09:15] <darkhaze> brb gotta go on npdarkhaze
[09:15] <npdarkhaze> here :]
[09:15] <siriusnova> hey any Ubuntu devs here?
[09:15] <octan>  want to get rid of stuff i dont need on boot up and i think lvm is one of them.. am i guessing correct ?
[09:15] <Jowi> ulfar: there are different ways. one is to remove the execute bit from the file. "chmod a-x /etc/init.d/name". you can also rename the startscript to not start like this "mv /etc/rc2.d/S20ssh /etc/rc2.d/K20ssh" or just remove it. you can also use the "update-rc.d" command.
[09:15] <psyber> can anyone in here give me a hand with some newbie linux questions?
[09:15] <cM0ss> how do I locate a video card's bus identifier?
[09:16] <ompaul> !ask
[09:16] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[09:16] <GhostFreeman> !unix
[09:16] <ompaul> cM0ss, lshw

[09:16] <psyber> lol so I am trying to figure out how to install thunderbird without using synaptic
[09:16] <octan> anyone?
[09:17] <ompaul> psyber, in this channel there is one way - synaptic
[09:17] <Jowi> ulfar: I prefer to rename the file in /etc/rc2.d. That way I have an easy way of controlling different runlevels.
[09:17] <ompaul> psyber, anything else is likely to bite you

[09:23] <ubotu> Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly, if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[09:23] <mishkin> i have ubuntu dapper drake
[09:23] <psyber> so, back to the more general question... when I install an application (i.e. using config make and make install) where will the application files be located?
[09:23] <ompaul> mishkin, join #kubuntu it is a kde based program
[09:23] <mishkin> ok
[09:24] <krazykit> psyber: /usr/local/
[09:24] <Jowi> psyber: probably in /usr somewhere.
[09:24] <ompaul> psyber, depends on the contents of the makefile
[09:24] <Jowi> psyber: you set the patch with ./configure
[09:24] <Jowi> psyber: an alternative way of installing is to use checkinstall
[09:24] <bh> Hello, is etch similar to Debian unstable or should I just use dapper for now ?
[09:24] <cM0ss>  does  bus info: pci@01:00.0  =  PCI:1:0:0 ?? I am trying to configure Xserver for Radeon card...
[09:24] <ompaul> psyber, we have about 20k packages so I would be surprised if what you want or something like it was not in ubuntu already
[09:25] <DoubleT> Jowi: I tried that, but when i run the command:
[09:25] <DoubleT> sudoa2enmodphp5
[09:25] <DoubleT> it tells me it does not exists ?
[09:25] <tuv> where can i get additional desklets (for gdesklets) from?
[09:25] <ompaul> cM0ss, do this >> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg << that will set up most video cards
[09:25] <psyber> well I am trying to learn how to work with linux, not just ubuntu
[09:25] <ompaul> psyber, then go to #linuxhelp
[09:25] <cM0ss> ompaul: that is what I am running
[09:25] <psyber> ahh good call.... thx
[09:26] <ompaul> cM0ss, it detects that
[09:26] <cM0ss> ompaul: it is asking for card bus identifier
[09:26] <psyber> silly me
[09:26] <psyber> hehe thanks for the help

[09:29] <mlopes> most of them seem to be broken..
[09:29] <infinito> exmethix: maybe you should run it as root
[09:29] <ompaul> infinito, that is the way the distro goes, great aunt tilly won't need one, if you do sudo apt-get install postfix or whatever
[09:29] <mook> there is a WMV9 file on a streaming server using the MMS protocol I'm having trouble playing.
[09:30] <ricky> drunk_hobo try sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

[09:31] <Archville> Hi all.
[09:31] <ricky> you have to install manualy
[09:31] <Jowi> DoubleT: e2enmod is a part of apache2-common. if you have that package installed it should work.
[09:32] <Doc__> what drivers or plug-ins do i need for .rpm
[09:32] <thanatonaute> hi. I just installed Ubuntu, and the kernel version is: Linux version 2.6.15-27-386
[09:32] <ricky> and will work
[09:32] <ompaul> !ati > exmethix
[09:32] <mook> ompaul: The video is streaming from an Internet server via the MMS protocol though, not locally on the HDDs
[09:32] <ompaul> exmethix, check the message from ubotu the channel bot useful urls there
[09:32] <thanatonaute> Is there a newer kernel in the repository?
[09:32] <drunk_hobo> ricky and how do i do that
[09:32] <exmethix> !ati
[09:32] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:32] <dmglouis> i just installed apache and I can't put any files in var/www/. Can anyone tell me how?
[09:32] <ompaul> mook, your second comment made that clear, I was explaining why I said what I said
[09:32] <Jowi> dmglouis: use "sudo"
[09:32] <ricky> down load the package
[09:32] <mook> ah
[09:33] <ricky> \
[09:33] <Doc__> what drivers or plug-ins do i need for .rpm
[09:33] <dmglouis> Jowi: I dont use terminal, i dont know how to move files using cmd line
[09:33] <siriusnova> btw PSA
[09:33] <siriusnova> DONT use the X.org ati radeon driver if your using an ati radeon card in a laptop
[09:33] <siriusnova> it causes complete lockups
[09:34] <Jowi> dmglouis: you better learn. :) the terminal is a big part of linux.
[09:34] <Jowi> !common
[09:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about common - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:34] <siriusnova> there is a bug and a patch has been issues but no idea when it will actually hit the repos
[09:34] <Doc__> what drivers or plug-ins do i need for .rpm
[09:34] <Jowi> !commands
[09:34] <ubotu> The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via applications -> accessories -> terminal (gnome) or kmenu -> system -> konsole (kde). Manuals: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicCommands
[09:34] <Archville> Got a question... I would like to burn the InstallCD one so i can install it here, but i only have DVDs at the moment.  Is it possible to burn it and boot it from a DVD instead of a CD or i should wait to buy a CD ?
[09:34] <ompaul> Doc__, you got the wrong program there - what do yuou want to install
[09:34] <ompaul> Doc__, there is .rpm and .deb we are in the .deb world but you need one for Ubuntu
[09:35] <livingdaylight> to copy a dvd (movie) do you copy as iso or select dvd project?
[09:35] <ompaul> Doc__, your version of Ubuntu
[09:35] <Doc__> 6.06
[09:35] <ompaul> Doc__, what program are you looking to install?
[09:35] <Jowi> dmglouis: mv = move. cp = copy. ls = list/dir. have a look at that BasicCommands page ubotu gave.
[09:35] <Archville> You can still use .rpm if you "alienize" them.
[09:35] <Doc__> sun java download manger
[09:35] <ompaul> !alien
[09:35] <ubotu> rpm is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous).
[09:36] <skpl> can someone tell me how to find out what version architecture of ubuntu i have installed?
[09:36] <ompaul> skpl, what kind of box is it?
[09:36] <skpl> i am using an amd64 computer but i dunno if i have the 64 bit version of ubuntu installed
[09:36] <Jowi> skpl: uname -a will give you plenty

[09:53] <rayston> how do I figure out what is wrong with my HD that suddenly is unavailable?
[09:53] <rayston> what tools are available to me?
[09:53] <Rickman> I'm having problems with Samba.  I used sudo smbpasswd -a <username> and it created the username and password.  I also edited the smb.conf to change the name of the workgroup.  I can now see the computer in my workgroup from a windoze client, but when I click on it, it's says it's unaccessabile.  Could this be because I don't have directorys/permissions set up for the new samba user I added?  if so, how do I do that?
[09:53] <anon32> der0b: it was a guess :-\
[09:54] <der0b> k
[09:54] <der0b> Hey folks, I'm wondering if there's a way to record all of the prompts displayed to a user and his answers in a gnome-terminal session.  I'm trying to document a how-to and this would make it a lot easier
[09:54] <sorush20> hi I'm installing ubuntu but there are error, everything installs okay,, I have an ntfs paritition the first one and it has windows xp on it, then the next two are root then home , and the last is the swap, I have set the first partition ntfs as bootable flag..
[09:54] <sorush20> after installtion boot I can not boot to grup .. .
[09:54] <sorush20> grub
[09:54] <kitche> der0b: there is many screen recorders
[09:54] <Jowi> Jan-pp: /etc/environment file should have the language setting
[09:55] <sorush20> are there any programs out there there that give you stats about your hardware , like cpu speed and bus speed and etc?
[09:55] <jelly-home> !hardware
[09:55] <anon32> I notice that there's a noticable lag when moving windows. This makes me wonder if my ATI RADEON x300 is supported?
[09:55] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[09:55] <dankh> is there somebody already using rhythmbox 0.9.6 ?
[09:55] <Rickman> Can anyone help me to configure samba on my new ubuntu install
[09:55] <jelly-home> sorush20: there are a lot of packages for that.  I personally use lshw.
[09:55] <Jan-pp> jowi: thx. looks good, rebooting
[09:56] <mlopes> hi. what's the latest tutorial for getting aiglx to work on ubuntu dapper?
[09:56] <anon32> !mplayer
[09:56] <ubotu> mplayer is a media player. Enable multiverse repo and type sudo apt-get install mplayer for more info please see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer  To compile it from source see:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MPlayer/Compile
[09:56] <ubotu> For Codecs try !codecs Also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MplayerInstallHowto for installation tips.
[09:56] <sorush20> jelly-home: can you tell me if you can see your motherboards fsb?
[09:56] <kitche> mlopes: well you need xorg 7.1 to use aiglx unless you feel like compiling it
[09:57] <mlopes> and xorg is only included on edgy?
[09:57] <mlopes> 7.1
[09:57] <mlopes> because I've seen a lot of tutorials from July and August and none seem to work now
[09:57] <jelly-home> sorush20: Hm, I see something like "clock: 400MHz" but under "*-cpu", let me check another machine.
[09:58] <anon32> !vlc
[09:58] <ubotu> Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[09:58] <Jowi> Jan-pp: hehe, found an easier way. typical. "sudo dpkg-reconfigure localeconf"
[09:58] <kitche> mlopes: yeah xorg 7.1 is only on edgy that I know of
[09:58] <ugarit> how does one enable opengl for an intel 915 gm video apater (laptop) or how do I check that it's actually enabled?
[09:59] <mlopes> hmm ok
[09:59] <dankh> !codecs
[09:59] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[09:59] <suprchris> how do I restart x into a cmd line?  dapper just keeps sending it to the gdm login screen?
[09:59] <mlopes> when is edgy expected to be released?
[09:59] <jelly-home> sorush20: the amd/athlon-xp-2500 machine says "clock: 166MHz", does this make any sense to you?
[09:59] <mlopes> I don't feel like fscking my laptop just for eye candy :-P
[09:59] <mlopes> so I'll wait for the final release
[10:00] <procrastinator> !schedule
[10:00] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[10:00] <anon32> how do I shut down the X Window System?
[10:00] <jelly-home> sorush20: the intel machine says 400MHz which looks like its fsb freq.
[10:00] <higen> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop in terminal ?
[10:00] <anon32> jelly-home, well, that could be your FSB (jk)
[10:01] <diminthedam> heya all. could someone help me with getting my sound to work in vmware, please?
[10:01] <drunk_hobo> im trying to install flash on firefox and it says: Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape, what should i type there
[10:01] <Jowi> ugarit: I *think* you should install xserver-xorg-driver-i810 and 915resolution.
[10:01] <sktfeelssleepy> anyone having trouble with the lastfm player and alsa?
[10:02] <Jan-pp> jowi: thx, just installed it. its  great - i can set the messages separately
[10:02] <jelly-home> anon32: well it is an older motherboard (nForce2).
[10:02] <jlouis_> I installed ubuntu via PXE bootloading. When it came to installing xorg it tried to switch into xorg and failed. So I had to reboot. I am pretty sure it missed the right kernel modules, so now I have a half ubuntu installation
[10:02] <Jowi> ugarit: "glxinfo | grep direct" to see if direct rendering is enabled
[10:02] <drunk_hobo> im trying to install flash on firefox and it says: Please enter the installation path of the Mozilla, Netscape, what should i type there
[10:03] <jlouis_> I am trying to mend it, so I've set keymap, timezone, logins and am running dpkg-reconfigure -a
[10:03] <Paddy_EIRE> does anyone have what would be considered the best xgl/compiz guide
[10:03] <jlouis_> anything I might have missed?
[10:03] <RankorFodder> drunk_hobo: i've been having moz flash problems myself, and so far the workaround i'm using is simply installing the flash plugin from within mozilla.
[10:03] <Jowi> jlouis_: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and select vesa driver (or the correct driver for your card)
[10:04] <axee> whats the linux command to see all my dvd/cd/hard drives via terminal
[10:04] <RankorFodder> drunk: but i'm pretty sure that's an older version of flash
[10:04] <axee> i have had a crash, and wantt o copy stuff to my SD card, but dont know what its called
[10:04] <drunk_hobo> rankorfodder: you mean like pasting the instalation files in the dir and running it frpom there?
[10:04] <Paddy_EIRE> RankorFodder, drunk_hobo, have you guys tried this http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper
[10:04] <anon32> axee: ls /dev/*
[10:04] <anon32> or mount -l
[10:05] <jlouis_> Jowi: I am working on it. Though it is barfing because of a missing synaptics driver (or if I remove that manually, a /dev/input/mice). I _certainly_ know I am missing some kernel modules, so they go in next ;)
[10:05] <diminthedam> my x31 esd sound drivers, conflict with vmware, and i cannot get any sound in vmware. Are there any other sound drivers that could work?
[10:05] <jlouis_> ie, I am on a 2.6.17 with 2.6.15-something the only installed modules. Thats bad, hehe ;)
[10:05] <Jowi> jlouis_: did you compile your own kernel?
[10:05] <Paddy_EIRE> RankorFodder, drunk_hobo, just try and avoid using "easyubuntu" or "automatix"
[10:05] <jlouis_> Jowi: no
[10:05] <drunk_hobo> ok
[10:06] <Doc__> how do i get more fonts
[10:06] <Jan-pp> what locale version should I use? UTF or ISO?
[10:06] <ompaul> !fonts
[10:06] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto
[10:06] <ubotu> No fonts in flash? Install msttcorefonts, gsfonts, and gsfonts-x11 , No fonts in mplayer? see !mplayer
[10:06] <jlouis_> Jowi: I am on a freshly installed system. I believe that kernel image come from some ubuntu archive.
[10:06] <main2> any ideas how it can be that 'DRKonqi' crashes all the time when using remote desktop?
[10:06] <anon32> does xchat have any kind of transparency effects?
[10:06] <main2> (or vncviewer)
[10:06] <Paddy_EIRE> Doc__:  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Dapper <-- this will get you loads of fonts
[10:07] <main2> anon32: yes it does #xchat
[10:07] <jlouis_> I'll dig further
[10:07] <axee> anon32, when trying to "mount" it i get errors like cant find "ssd in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab" any idea why?
[10:07] <stu__> how do I go about installing xgl or aiglx or whatever its called on dapper ??
[10:07] <jlouis_> missing kernel modules is bad bad
[10:07] <ompaul> Paddy_EIRE, we have that on the wiki
[10:07] <darkhaze> yay back \o/
[10:07] <AWOSDev> I need help with fonts.  They don't show up in any application even after restarting them.  I read the FontInstallHowto to no avail.
[10:07] <Exclamation> Hi
[10:07] <Paddy_EIRE> ompaul: oh, I must search for it... it was down today for quite a while
[10:08] <anon32> ugh. these winmodem drivers suck
[10:08] <M0nk3Ee> hi all can anyone give me a few pointers getting me broadcom 4306 wireless card working on dapper.  I have tried loads of different bits from tutorials but am not getting anywhere.  Did have it working in the past but reformatted and now can't remember what i did.  I can get the little blue light come on on the laptop but it is not finding any networks
[10:08] <RankorFodder> hey can anyone recomend to me a good, newb-friendly IDE for cpp?
[10:08] <Exclamation> Im having problems with azureus, it gets stuck at loading images...btw im on amd64
[10:08] <Jowi> jlouis_: well... how about installing the 2.6.15-27 kernel and its restricted modules?
[10:08] <RankorFodder> or perhaps a newer, sexyer language to learn? :-D
[10:08] <anon32> RankorFodder, emacs
[10:08] <jlouis_> Jowi: Thats another solution
[10:08] <drunk_hobo> "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree" doesnt work for me
[10:08] <jlouis_> Jowi: probably one I take if I can come aronud to it ;)
[10:09] <AWOSDev> RankorFodder, I like Kdevelop.
[10:09] <Paddy_EIRE> anon32: for the amount of trouble getting that winmodem to work it just aint worth it, get a new one winmodems are just cheap little things anyway
[10:09] <jlouis_> Jowi: is .15-27 the newest kernel in Dapper? I am coming from a Debain sid install
[10:09] <RankorFodder> AWOSDev: will K apps run well in a gnome environment?
[10:09] <Jowi> jlouis_: the mouse itself is usually these modules: mousedev and psmouse
[10:09] <AWOSDev> RankorFodder, yep
[10:09] <Jowi> jlouis_: modprobe them and try to start X
[10:09] <RankorFodder> hmm.. neat
[10:09] <stu__> should uname -r indicate SMP if I am running a SMP kernel ?
[10:09] <jlouis_> So I don't know friggin anything about current versions ;)
[10:09] <Paddy_EIRE> ompaul: do you use xgl/compiz
[10:10] <jlouis_> Jowi: check. So noted.
[10:10] <drunk_hobo> im installing flash mnually and it is asking me for theinstallation path of my firefox, can anyone just tell me what to write there, i am new here, and i dont know thelinux sintax
[10:10] <AWOSDev> RankorFodder, just go apt-get (or synaptic) it.

[10:10] <ClayG> ahhh, lets be honest, it's for me lol
[10:10] <M0nk3Ee> can anyone tell me what i need to do to check what drivers i currently have loaded, i have got a bit confused after trying so many tutorials to get this wireless card working
[10:11] <jlouis_> drunk_hobo: try to strike out home
[10:11] <AWOSDev> RankorFodder, sudo apt-get install build-essential   <- that'll get you a compiler
[10:11] <Jowi> drunk_hobo: where did you install swiftfox to?
[10:11] <jlouis_> /home/usr/... looks wrong
[10:11] <anon32> Paddy_EIRE, err...
[10:11] <AWOSDev> drunk_hobo, try just /usr/lib/swiftfox
[10:11] <Paddy_EIRE> ompaul: nice one, I thought I was behind the visual eyecandy stuff....will we ever see a dapper final release version of it
[10:11] <sorush20> jelly-home: yes thanks
[10:11] <drunk_hobo> i have tried that
[10:11] <Paddy_EIRE> anon32: whats up
[10:11] <drunk_hobo> and that is swiftfox path

[10:11] <twinge_> If i install the 6.10 beta now, once the final release is out I'll be able to just run "update" and get all the changes, right?
[10:11] <M0nk3Ee> can anyone see what i am typing?
[10:11] <drunk_hobo> but the flash install keeps telling me that not a dir
[10:12] <stu__> should uname -r indicate SMP if I am running a SMP kernel ?
[10:12] <darkhaze> m0n yeah.
[10:12] <jlouis_> M0nk3Ee: sure
[10:12] <mooney2> M0nk3Ee: lsmod shoudl give you something
[10:12] <drunk_hobo> its says its not a valid installation path
[10:12] <jlouis_> darkhaze: more information is needed to answer your d/c question.
[10:12] <AWOSDev> darkhaze, that's your ISPs problem.  get a better ISP :)
[10:12] <anon32> drunk_hobo: well, write the path of firefox-bin

[10:12] <RankorFodder> can anyone help me with qcad? i can't seem to set the default unit of measure as "Cubit" and i really wanna build a pyramid. :-D
