[21:30] <ubotu> mats_: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[21:30] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[21:30] <pike_> mats_: flash works just fine ;p
[21:30] <Aloha> h1st0, dang beat me
[21:30] <tanath> h1st0, i tried basically that with gtweakui
[21:30] <h1st0> tanath: use gconf-editor
[21:30] <h1st0> tanath: someone had that problem earlier
[21:30] <mats_> no it doesnt and when you try to register to the forum to get help that doesnt work either
[21:31] <ally_xoxoo> h1st0: VLC doesnt play my mp3 anymore either
[21:31] <derrin_> seasonfive:  I got this: http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/566
[21:31] <ally_xoxoo> and i just installed it
[21:31] <h1st0> mats_: if you read the directions from ubotu it works just fine
[21:31] <ally_xoxoo> now the application is all gey "locked"
[21:31] <h1st0> mats_: the link to the forums you don't have to register to read that.
[21:31] <ally_xoxoo> have to force-quit again
[21:31] <mats_> well I could not even register to the forum
[21:31] <tanath> h1st0, still no go. no right click either btw
[21:31] <h1st0> ally_xoxoo: vlc was?
[21:31] <ally_xoxoo> yes
[21:32] <ally_xoxoo> it used to work the otherday
[21:32] <seasonfive> derrin_: did you runned using sudo ?
[21:32] <h1st0> tanath: what where you doing when this started?
[21:32] <mats_> ubuntuforum is down
[21:32] <h1st0> mats_: nopoe
[21:32] <seasonfive> derrin_: run it at sudo and repost :)
[21:32] <h1st0> mats_: i'm looking at the link right now
[21:33] <h1st0> mats_: you would have to register to download the fix
[21:33] <seasonfive> derrin_: but i think apache process is called apache2. a killall apache2 should work
[21:33] <tanath> h1st0, my power supply exploded... then it started getting slow (lagging a bit). now my icons don't show & that
[21:33] <Roberto35> hi guys cannot make run streams on firefox, Gnash is installed, Flash player too and the flashplugin nonfree what is missing?
[21:33] <h1st0> tanath: hrm...
[21:33] <h1st0> tanath: and they all work for other users?
[21:33] <tanath> h1st0, lag is mostly gone though
[21:33] <tanath> h1st0, yeh
[21:33] <wyclif> tanath: you got me.  that is a difficult problem
[21:33] <h1st0> Roberto35: what kind of streams?
[21:33] <derrin_> seasonfive:  Sorry - when running sudo i got:  http://pastebin.ubuntu-uk.org/567
[21:34] <tanath> h1st0, i need this account though
[21:34] <tanath> :/
[21:34] <h1st0> tanath: Well you can keep the account just your gconf settings are hosed or something.
[21:34] <h1st0> tanath: all the files for the account are in /home/username
[21:34] <Roberto35> hlst0:well mediastreams
[21:34] <wyclif> tanath: as far as the power supply goes, i don't see how that could be the source (assuming you replaced and rebooted)
[21:34] <Roberto35> hlst0:for example on youtube.com
[21:34] <h1st0> tanath: in there is a .gconf folder.  I'm not sure what happens if you delete that though if it will be recreated.  Someone else may know.
[21:35] <derrin_> seasonfive:  I got:  $ sudo killall apache2
[21:35] <derrin_> apache2: no process killed
[21:35] <derrin_>     What do you think is going on?
[21:35] <tanath> h1st0, yeah, but many are hard coded, and i can't seem to apply permissions recursively
[21:35] <h1st0> Roberto35: if you have flash installed it should work just fine.
[21:35] <Light> Err, can anyone help me? I've been meaning to fix a problem but nothing solves it...
[21:35] <seasonfive> derrin_: killall httpd :)
[21:35] <Roberto35> hlst0:well it doesnt :(
[21:35] <wyclif> Light: just ask, don't ask to ask
[21:35] <Light> Lol.
[21:35] <BritneySpears> I thought the name of the process for apache on ubuntu was apache2 not httpd
[21:35] <mats_> Roberto flash doesnt work on ubuntu
[21:35] <h1st0> Roberto35: remove gnash
[21:35] <h1st0> mats_: it works fine
[21:35] <seasonfive> derrin_: netstat gave you the owner of the bind on the TCP port 80 -> httpd process
[21:36] <Light> Well, I had Ubuntu and XP both running fine, then I reformatted XP for reasons, then now, I can't dual boot to ubuntu.
[21:36] <wsdf> hey
[21:36] <derrin_> seasonfive: okay that seems to have worked?
[21:36] <wsdf> how can i play .pls on ubuntu 7.10
[21:36] <h1st0> Roberto35: restart firefox and try again.
[21:36] <BritneySpears> Light you probably wiped your MBR
[21:36] <Cpudan80> Light: Right, XP overwrote the grub bootloader
[21:36] <Light> I've checked a lot of sites, and all their solutions do not work.
[21:36] <h1st0> !codec > wsdf,   wsdf Read the private message from ubotu.
[21:36] <RaulR> wsdf: with amarok
[21:36] <derrin_> seasonfive:  Sorry I am a noob... don't understand what happened?
[21:36] <seasonfive> derrin_: dunno :) retry the netstap and see if httpd is still there
[21:36] <Cpudan80> You need to put grub back in Light
[21:36] <Light> Oh and did I mention, it's on separate HDD's.
[21:36] <bastid_raZor> syntaxerror55:: nice.. i'm running KDE4 in VMware.. it looks flipping awesome
[21:36] <h1st0> !grub > light
[21:36] <Cpudan80> Doesn't matter
[21:37] <Light> Well, okay then, how do I get it back? <.<
[21:37] <wyclif> Light: aha, there the rub ;-)
[21:37] <RaulR> wsdf .pls is a playlist file
[21:37] <seasonfive> derrin_: perhaps it should be better for you to learn basis rather than playing with webserver ? :-/
[21:37] <h1st0> Light: read the pm from ubotu
[21:37] <h1st0> !grub > Light,   Light Read the private message from ubotu.
[21:37] <Light> Reading.
[21:37] <derrin_> seasonfive:  says ESTABLISHED twice... looking good?
[21:38] <seasonfive> derrin_: if you restarted apache after the killall yes, that's good
[21:38] <seasonfive> derrin_: otherwise no
[21:38] <derrin_> seasonfive:  what do you mean basis?
[21:38] <wyclif> jmantra: awww c'mon i liked your previous username
[21:38] <Light> Oh this method.
[21:38] <Light> I've tried this.
[21:38] <seasonfive> derrin_: what is a process, what is a socket, what is netstat ... :-p
[21:38] <jmantra> wyclif, some tightwad in another channel made me change it back
[21:39] <Light> When I rebooted, It gave me a black screen, with the typing thing on top, I clicked something, it just happened again.
[21:39] <sethk> what is life?  what is existence?
[21:39] <derrin_> seasonfive:  I dodn't restart apache   is that therefore bad?
[21:39] <sethk> where can I get a bottle of wine for $3?
[21:39] <seasonfive> derrin_: not that bad .... do a sudo killall -9 httpd
[21:39] <wyclif> jmantra: i hate when ppl do that
[21:39] <h1st0> Light: you basically have to follow the link for lost ubuntu after installing windows.
[21:39] <h1st0> Light: you are going to fix grub
[21:40] <Light> Alright..
[21:40] <derrin_> seasonfive:  I got:  $ sudo killall -9 httpd
[21:40] <derrin_> httpd: no process killed
[21:40] <wyclif> BritneySpears: you did it again
[21:40] <wyclif> BritneySpears: you're not that innocent!
[21:40] <BritneySpears> I know :-P
[21:41] <seasonfive> derrin_: what say the netstat ?
[21:41] <Ax-Ax> where can i find smb.conf?
[21:41] <redguy> Ax-Ax: /etc/samba
[21:41] <seasonfive> derrin_: what netstat say ? (sorry i'm french :D)
[21:41] <wsdf> Ralfm,
[21:41] <Ax-Ax> redbox :)
[21:41] <NeoIce> is there a way to run the server CLI as the primary interface but have maybe one of the alt-windows running a desktop environment?
[21:41] <wsdf> anyway
[21:41] <Ax-Ax> redguy  :)
[21:42] <Roberto35> what do i need to make working mediastreams on firefox? Just the flashplugin nonfree?
[21:42] <Ax-Ax> not box :(
[21:42] <solexious> Hello all, I have a generic raid card, how can I see if linux has drivers to support it?
[21:42] <k3zo> hi I've just installed ubuntu and I've gone on to isntall the restricted driver for my ati x800xt card.  now compiz won't work and returns the error... The Composite extension is not available

[21:42] <seasonfive> derrin_: indeed apache is killed now. You should be able to restart it
[21:43] <pp_> boas deveras
[21:43] <deveras> hello

[21:44] <deveras> if you pleasee
[21:44] <seasonfive> derrin_: does it work ?
[21:44] <derrin_> seasonfive:  same message:  $ sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
[21:44] <derrin_>  * Restarting web server apache2                                                httpd (no pid file) not running

[21:45] <deveras> we are trying to set ati drivers and using apt-get for it, but it doesnt seam to find xorg.conf
[21:45] <derrin_> Why does it say not running?
[21:45] <seasonfive> derrin_: its just complaining because you asked a restart while apache was not running.
[21:45] <derrin_> seasonfive:  Why does it say not running?
[21:45] <redguy> derrin_: because it wasn't running
[21:45] <noo1> I have a strange problem that I am failing to resolve. Here on my ubuntu box I can grab pages that have recently been loaded by other pcs on my network. I couldn't connect to IRC, until I connected to the same network on my laptop, then after a few attempts I succeeded on my ubuntu box.  I can dig/ping any site out there from my ubuntu box, but I cant load pages that aren't in cache in FF.
[21:45] <jamescarr> is there a good tool for editing quicktime movies?
[21:45] <seasonfive> derrin_: because restart = stop then start. The stop failed because apache wasn't running (you killed it)
[21:46] <seasonfive> derrin_: but the start succeeded :)
[21:46] <arken_> hello, i need some help finding a program. There was a program that allowed you to take your version of ubuntu and seal it to make a live cd, what was it called/
[21:46] <Ax-Ax> how do i restart samba?
[21:46] <panik> Having a problem with my wireless connection on 7.10, showing connection and asking for pw, but pw isnt working? or letting me connect?
[21:46] <redguy> noo1: you have a proxy server running in your network?
[21:46] <noo1> redguy: nope :-\
[21:46] <derrin_> seasonfive:  okay.  I get it the last bit.  Thanks very much.  Not clear re: what was causing my problem?
[21:47] <redguy> Ax-Ax: erm /etc/init.d/samba restart ?
[21:47] <Ax-Ax> redguy :)
[21:47] <redguy> noo1: well, it seems so
[21:47] <seasonfive> derrin_: don't you started apache by hand ? using sudo http or sthg like that ?
[21:47] <Roberto35> makes me nervous a little bit i must admit why cannot i not make run media streams on ubuntu Gutsy i have installed the Gnash player and the flashplugin-nonfree why isnt it working can anybody please help me
[21:48] <pike_> Roberto35: ok so ... remove that stuff
[21:48] <Aloha> anyone know the link to the forgot password page on ubuntu forums?
[21:48] <noo1> redguy: i agree the symptoms would suggest that, but trust me i dont haev a proxy server running. do you have any other ideas of why this might happen?
[21:48] <derrin_> seasonfive:  might have done sth a along time ago.  My bad.  sorry.
[21:48] <Roberto35> pike_: why? doesnt that work?
[21:48] <arken_> hello, i need some help finding a program. There was a program that allowed you to take your version of ubuntu and seal it to make a live cd, what was it called?
[21:48] <pike_> Roberto35: then go to adobe website and download the plugin then double-click the tar.gz to open it now open a new terminal and type gksu nautilus and drag the plugin to /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/
[21:48] <redguy> noo1: check firefox preferences (edit->preferences->advanced->network tab->settings button) and see if you don't have a proxy server configured
[21:48] <derrin_> seasonfive:  Is there any good training documentation to learn how tpo set up / manage LAMP?
[21:48] <deveras> apt-get search doesnt work... how do i find pakages with apt? trying to isntal ssh
[21:48] <pike_> Roberto35: thats the non distro specific way
[21:49] <seasonfive> derrin_: that's not a problem, nor a mistake. That just depend of what you want to do. As i said, lear the basics.
[21:49] <seasonfive> learn
[21:49] <Roberto35> pike_: sounds a bit difficult i am a new user but i will try that
[21:49] <panik> Having a problem with my wireless connection on 7.10, showing connection and asking for pw, but pw isnt working? or letting me connect? any help would be great ;)
[21:49] <pike_> !flashissue | Roberto35 also see this
[21:49] <ubotu> Roberto35 also see this: The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[21:49] <derrin_> seasonfive:  AM keen to learn the basics.  Where should I start?  Can you recommend a good book?
[21:49] <derrin_> seasonfive:  or a good website?
[21:49] <noo1> redguy: checked, no proxy settings.
[21:50] <seasonfive> derrin_: i know only french ones. sorry
[21:50] <jamescarr> is there a good tool for editing quicktime movies?
[21:50] <deveras> apt-get search doesnt work... how do i find pakages with apt? trying to isntal ssh
[21:50] <derrin_> seasonfive:  Ahhh   - my French is poor!   Hahahaha!   thanks for all your help! Bye!
[21:51] <seasonfive> derrin_: http://www.ee.surrey.ac.uk/Teaching/Unix/ ?
[21:51] <Roberto35> pike_: thanks
[21:51] <noo1> redguy: so theres nothing set odd in FF, and I can ping/dig any site from term.  I don't know whats wrong here.
[21:51] <dcmorton> deveras: apt-cache search ssh
[21:51] <deveras> thanks dcmorton
[21:51] <dcmorton> and: apt-get install openssh-server
[21:51] <redguy> noo1: tried any other browser? elins/lynx perhaps?
[21:52] <jamescarr> linux geeks dont edit video ;)
[21:52] <deveras> to make it run?
[21:52] <ally_oxxo> hey guys, my "Movie Player" for some reason does not play my .mp3. How come?
[21:52] <redguy> noo1: ah, you say that not only http has problems
[21:52] <Sonja> is there a way to raise or lower the global volume pressing Windowskey-uparrow and Windowskey-downarrow or something similar to that?
[21:52] <redguy> noo1: maybe you have IPs messed up in your network?
[21:52] <arken_> ally_oxxo: Have you installed the mp3 codecs?
[21:52] <dcmorton> deveras: thats the install package.. you can use that if you don't want to search for the particular one
[21:53] <arken_> ally_oxxo: go into the add/remove programs and search "mp3", and install all of those
[21:53] <dcmorton> just trying to save you some time
[21:53] <noo1> redguy: i have it set to DHCP, and it grabs a valid IP from my router which no other box is using
[21:53] <deveras> dcmorton service openssh start ?
[21:53] <ally_oxxo> arken_ its complex. I had everythign working fine the other day until i tried to install DVD packages.
[21:53] <ally_oxxo> i removed all my totem,vlc, amarok because they would freeze everytime i tried to play a file
[21:53] <dcmorton> deveras: the server will start automatically
[21:53] <arken_> ally_oxxo: just get all those codecs like i told you to, and tell me what happens
[21:53] <redguy> noo1: hmmm
[21:53] <ally_oxxo> okay
[21:54] <ally_oxxo> 1 sec
[21:54] <derrin_> seasonfive:  thanks for the website!  thanks friend!
[21:54] <julio> hello everyone
[21:54] <Flare183> !hi | julio
[21:54] <ubotu> julio: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[21:54] <redguy> noo1: seems very odd. Just to make sure - did you try to arping your IP ? This would detect duplicate IPs
[21:54] <deveras> dcmorton thanks, last question any reason that the sudo aticonfig --initial
[21:54] <deveras>  for the instalation of the ATI driver would fail no finding xorg.conf
[21:55] <noo1> redguy: no, how do I do that
[21:55] <jephey> I need help with an init.d script I made, it modprobes the x10 driver (home automation) and then I must specify the serial port to use... but I use a USB->Serial converter and the /dev/ttyUSB# changes intermittently... how can I lookup by the USB vendor or device ID the /dev/ path to it? Is there a way to do that?
[21:55] <ally_oxxo> arken_ install all of these?
[21:55] <ally_oxxo> thats a lot
[21:55] <seasonfive> derrin_: You're welcome.
[21:55] <arken_> ally_oxxo: the drivers
[21:55] <Flare183> !enter
[21:55] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[21:55] <arken_> ally_oxxo: not the programs.
[21:55] <ally_oxxo> yeah the only driver i notice was "ubuntu restricted-extras"
[21:55] <Cpudan80> ally_oxxo: It's the first three, GStreamer extra -- GStreamer ffmpeg and Ubuntu Restricted Extras
[21:55] <Dr_willis__> jephey,  i think you can tweak the udev rules to give it a specific name.. but ive never done so. Just read a few articals about doing that.
[21:55] <wyclif> !hi | pinkbunny
[21:55] <ubotu> pinkbunny: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[21:56] <ally_oxxo> but i already had that install and unisntalled  it
[21:56] <ERGLupin> im trying to install 7.10 on an external HDD and it seems to get stucked on installing system "Detecting FIle System"
[21:56] <dcmorton> deveras: i'm unfamilar with the ATI drivers and their installation.. I would try here: http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[21:56] <jephey> About udev and USB?
[21:56] <ally_oxxo> yes Cpudan80: ill reinstall those
[21:56] <arken_> ERGLubin: GParted ftw.
[21:56] <Dr_willis__> jephey,   I may  a bit confused. but i think thats 'close' to what needs to be done. :)
[21:56] <Dr_willis__> !udev
[21:56] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about udev - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:56] <Jinn> How do i install Java on ubuntu PS3 ??
[21:56] <Jinn> Help!
[21:56] <dcmorton> deveras: that script makes it easy to get them installed properly
[21:56] <deveras> dcmorton again thank you mate
[21:56] <ERGLupin> so use GParted to make the partitions instead of the installer?
[21:56] <Flare183> !java | Jinn
[21:56] <ubotu> Jinn: To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[21:56] <ally_oxxo> CpuDan80: its been 6 hours and i havnt had a break of luck fixing it :(
[21:56] <Jinn> How do i install Java on ubuntu ps3 ??
[21:56] <mats_> how come ubuntu doesnt have a firewall?
[21:56] <deveras> i will have ssh to the machine and try that dcmorton cheers
[21:56] <Dr_willis__> Jinn,  i would be suprised if java has been ported to the ps3 cpus
[21:56] <Flare183> !iptables | mats_
[21:56] <julio> What's going on with the updates?
[21:57] <ubotu> mats_: Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[21:57] <arken_> ERGLubin: The installer is crap, get Gparted under the repos
[21:57] <Jinn> Flare !! help me out man
[21:57] <Dr_willis__> mats_,  it does.. Its just not enabled by default.
[21:57] <Dr_willis__> !firewall | mats_
[21:57] <redguy> noo1: try typing arping your_ip in the terminal
[21:57] <Flare183> Jinn: what is it?
[21:57] <Dr_willis__> mats_,  not that its really needed for most people.
[21:57] <ERGLupin> arken_ how can I install apps from a live cd? or do you mean the live cd of gparted?
[21:57] <Jinn> am unable to install java on my ubuntu
[21:57] <redguy> noo1: install the arping(?) package if necessary
[21:57] <Jinn> by the way am using a PPC
[21:57] <mats_> tables oldschool
[21:57] <Jinn> :(
[21:57] <arken_> ERGLupin: Ask someone else, I'm 14 and new to linux, lol
[21:58] <julio> mats_, ubotu is a boot, isn't a human being
[21:58] <redguy> noo1: what kind of LAN do you have? is it wifi?
[21:58] <jephey> For the record guys, Linux + Blueproximity and X10 ... you can turn off the lights when you walk out of the room, dim them, turn down the volume on your tv or mute it, it's so cheap too! If anyone wants to do something seriously cool.
[21:58] <ERGLupin> ...
[21:58] <Dr_willis__> Jinn,  Im not sure if the PS3 actually counts as a PPC or not.  I imagine theres some PS3 linux forums on the web.
[21:58] <ally_oxxo> arken_ okay i installed those drivers like you said.
[21:58] <mats_> bot
[21:58] <ally_oxxo> should i go to Source List?
[21:58] <noo1> redguy: its ethernet, im running the arping and it said WARNING: interface is ignored, operation not permitted and on the next line it says arping
[21:58] <arken_> ally_oxxo: So try it again.. and see what happens.
[21:58] <Jinn> dude
[21:58] <jephey> *using a bluetooth phone as a beacon indicating where you are ofcourse
[21:58] <Jinn> i've searched everywhere
[21:58] <TrichomeKid> So, im trying to install ubuntu and when it gets to the login screen it says "logging in as ubuntu in 10 seconds" but when the desktop tries to load the monitor flickers and goes back to login screen. anyone know the cause?
[21:58] <Jinn> tried everything
[21:58] <Flare183> Jinn: I don't know what the arch. that the ps3 has?
[21:58] <Jinn> googles all that forumes out there
[21:58] <Jinn> ohh arch
[21:59] <Jinn> ??
[21:59] <ally_oxxo> arken_ still wont play my mp3
[21:59] <Jinn> i think its i386 i think
[21:59] <arken_> ally_oxxo maybe its the goddamn mp3
[21:59] <Flare183> !ps3
[21:59] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ps3 - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:59] <redguy> noo1: sudo arping then
[21:59] <ally_oxxo> it opens for a second, doesnt paly, and the screen "slowly fades to black/grey" and locks
[21:59] <ally_oxxo> no no
[21:59] <Dr_willis__>  the ps3 is NOT an i386
[21:59] <ally_oxxo> i had it playing yesterday
[21:59] <panik> Any help with wireless belkin usb?
[21:59] <Jinn> well mine is
[21:59] <ally_oxxo> it wasn't until today when i was fooling around with the DVD packages
[21:59] <Jinn> it even says it
[21:59] <ally_oxxo> did this happen
[22:00] <Jinn> when i install something it says package doesn't support i386
[22:00] <Flare183> !java
[22:00] <Dr_willis__> Jinn,  then somthing is very confused in the land of ps3 linux. the PS3 uses the cell processors that are PPC variants. if its really a i386 - the  You just install the normal java packages.
[22:00] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[22:00] <noo1> redguy: no responses, sent 17 probes (17 broadcasts) 0 responses
[22:00] <Cpudan80> ally_oxxo: Open the thing in Apps --> Sound/Vid --> Movie Player, it should download the correct codecs
[22:00] <Jinn> Willis
[22:00] <ally_oxxo> um ok let me try
[22:00] <Flare183> Jinn: if your system is ppc
[22:00] <Jinn> how do i install things manually ?
[22:00] <Jinn> on my ubuntu ps3 ?
[22:00] <Flare183> Jinn: crap then try this
[22:00] <Cpudan80> ally_oxxo: If it doesn't --- you've got something really hosed up, prob should just kill it and redo it from scratch
[22:00] <Flare183> !javappc
[22:00] <ubotu> To install a Java runtime/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java6-jre from the !Multiverse repository (in !Backports for !Edgy)
[22:01] <Roberto35> pike_: it works now, but why is that so difficult to make running if u dont know this homepage
[22:01] <redguy> noo1: well that was an even further shot. No idea what could cause the symptoms you described.
[22:01] <ally_oxxo> Cpudan80: I opned up Totem MOvie Player but its not downloading the codecs
[22:01] <noo1> sigh...
[22:01] <Cpudan80> ally_oxxo: What happens when you try to play the file?
[22:02] <ally_oxxo> same thing, it turns grey/black locks and i have to force-quit or xkill
[22:02] <underwatercow> is there an easy (good) way to do speech to text in Ubuntu?
[22:02] <chalcedony> what are things called that play music? is xmms one? and how do I play a .wav file on cd with it?
[22:02] <Dr_willis_> http://psubuntu.com/2007/02/13/howto-enable-java-for-firefox/
[22:02] <ally_oxxo> i've already uninstalled totem Movie Player 20 times today
[22:02] <Cpudan80> ally_oxxo: Yeah, something is hosed up beyond repair -- format and start over
[22:02] <ally_oxxo> and still no luck
[22:02] <Jinn> what does IcedTea do ?
[22:02] <chazco> Hi... which would be the best option? Gusty under VirtualBox on XP or a duel-boot system? Tried XP under Virtualbox on Gusty but Gusty still has too many issues :(
[22:02] <ally_oxxo> oh dear cpudan
[22:02] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  check http://psubuntu.com/2007/02/13/howto-enable-java-for-firefox/
[22:02] <ally_oxxo> i didnt want to hear those words! :(
[22:02] <peepsalot> i'm trying to use OO.org to view some documents.  I don't want to edit them, just view them, but it keeps popping up all these stupid editing toolbars and things that I don't want to see.  they just get in my way.  is there some way to make it stop doing this?
[22:02] <ally_oxxo> i guess it's for the best right?
[22:02] <chalcedony> Jinn: it's tea.. with ice .. a cold drink in the Southern USA.. "Sweet Tea"
[22:02] <ally_oxxo> sigh*
[22:02] <Cpudan80> ally_oxxo: If you just started you can't have that much data....
[22:03] <ally_oxxo> 4 days :)
[22:03] <Jinn> chaldonkey ! its not funny!!
[22:03] <seasonfive> chazco: why would you want to keep your windows ? :p
[22:03] <Cpudan80> ally_oxxo: That would be my best advice at this point
[22:03] <ally_oxxo> i agree
[22:03] <ally_oxxo> i had that idea 10 hours ago
[22:03] <ally_oxxo> haah P
[22:03] <chalcedony> Jinn: i'm someone's mother. not a linux guru
[22:03] <chazco> seasonfive - Because Ubuntu wont let me use my PocketPC, Samsung phone and has issues with my uni documents and website... :D
[22:03] <chalcedony> tea is tea
[22:04] <Jinn> then why bother answering ?
[22:04] <erUSUL> peepsalot: use the print preview mode?
[22:04] <Jinn> when do don't know what it is ?
[22:04] <seasonfive> chazco: wow, seems you have all the things microsoft sell :)
[22:04] <ally_xoxoo> hey Cpudan80
[22:04] <Cpudan80> hi ally_xoxoo
[22:04] <chalcedony> anyone please ? what are things called that play music? is xmms one? and how do I play a .wav file on cd with it?
[22:04] <ally_xoxoo> do i need to do "boot and nuke" to erease my harddrive or just run the iso?
[22:04] <chazco> Anyway, trying to work out the best way to keep both?
[22:04] <Dr_willis_> chalcedony,  theres a dozen media players. I like bmpx for my music.
[22:04] <Cpudan80> ally_xoxoo: you can do it from the live CD
[22:04] <erUSUL> !players | chalcedony
[22:04] <ubotu> chalcedony: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Audacious, Banshee, Beep Media Player, Listen, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, Exaile, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine - See also !codecs
[22:04] <seasonfive> chazco: by the way, i don't see how your computer prevent you of using your pocketpc :)
[22:05] <ally_xoxoo> does the live CD erase all the data on the harddrive beyond recovery though?
[22:05] <chalcedony> erUSUL: oh
[22:05] <chazco> I cant syncronise with it, which i really need to
[22:05] <chalcedony> umm what to do now?
[22:05] <seasonfive> chazco: the simplest way is to find a better phone and a better uni
[22:05] <chazco> Put bluntly, Ubuntu cant cut it currently, so i need Windows
[22:05] <doolph> hi
[22:05] <chazco> But i like Ubuntu for most stuff, which means i need both :D
[22:05] <ally_xoxoo> ok restarting cpudan80 ill be back in a few
[22:05] <erUSUL> chalcedony: install one player and use it
[22:06] <mats_> ubuntu only has ip tables and no firewall
[22:06] <chalcedony> erUSUL: i have xmms.. how do i get it to see the cd and play it?
[22:06] <redguy> mats_: what do you consider a firewall then?
[22:06] <doolph> anyone can tell me if there's any help on resell computers with ubuntu installed?
[22:06] <redguy> mats_: if not iptables?
[22:06] <erUSUL> chalcedony: is cd audio?
[22:06] <panik> WPA problems on 7.10
[22:06] <chalcedony> mats_: iptables is the BEST of firewalls .. it just takes a while to learn it
[22:07] <Ham1722> Hi im Ham, I enjoy long walks on the beach, but more recently i cannot do this as i've been trying franticly to install ubuntu on my new pc that came in yesterday. Is it possible to configure xserve before install?
[22:07] <mats_> something with a graphical interface ; )
[22:07] <chalcedony> erUSUL: YES .. audio recording in .wav
[22:07] <seasonfive> chazco: nobody need windows :)
[22:07] <Jinn> It always says *couldn't find package*
[22:07] <seasonfive> chazco: then i guess Gutsy on XP is just fine for you ?
[22:07] <erUSUL> chalcedony: is a data cd with wav files or a cd-audio ??
[22:07] <Jinn> and i don't know how to download and install stuff on ubuntu
[22:07] <mats_> without bill where would we be?
[22:07] <redguy> mats_: ah you mean a firewall GUI then? seen firestarter?
[22:08] <seasonfive> chazco: but me it doesn't worth such effort
[22:08] <chalcedony> erUSUL: it's a data cd with wav files
[22:08] <erUSUL> !firewall
[22:08] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[22:08] <mats_> checking it right now looks fine
[22:08] <chazco> Ok... tell me how to use Linux to sync my PPC calender, sync my phone calender, use my USB keyboard and access my uni intranet, print stuff the same as it supposed to look (even with MS fonts + Softmaker)... and i'll not need Windows then :)
[22:08] <erUSUL> chalcedony: with xmms press add files and browse to the cd ( /media/cdrom/ usually)
[22:08] <chazco> So... performance wise... duel-boot or Virtualbox on XP?
[22:08] <chalcedony> erUSUL: you are wonderufl !! thank you :)
[22:09] <doolph> there's any ubuntu version on dvd?
[22:09] <erUSUL> chalcedony: no problem
[22:09] <seasonfive> chazco: http://www.linux.com/articles/114065
[22:09] <Ham1722> how does one configue xserve before install? is this possible?
[22:09] <mwe> before install?
[22:09] <neeto> I am trying to install new system sounds on xubuntu, should I use aRts, even though it's for KDE?
[22:09] <chazco> seasonfive - If thats synce, it doenst work with this PPC
[22:10] <chazco> (not enough free RAM to run Firefox atm)
[22:10] <seasonfive> chazco: lol
[22:10] <Ham1722> well ubuntu wont let me install it as when it tried to display anything after loading rc.local the display apparently shuts down, from what ive been told this is due to xserve?
[22:10] <chazco> Only got 256MB of RAM, and running XP in Virtualbox currently :D
[22:10] <seasonfive> chazco: even your computer don't want windows anymore :)
[22:10] <Jinn> why isn't you ubuntu easy to use as Mac and windows !! ??
[22:11] <neeto> lol Jinn
[22:11] <seasonfive> Jinn: because you didn't contributed to that ?
[22:11] <EtteSB> where are aliases set if i want them permanent?
[22:11] <jamescarr> hey quick question
[22:11] <sadaiyappan> how do i turn on javascript?
[22:11] <neeto> I am trying to install new system sounds on xubuntu, should I use aRts, even though it's for KDE?
[22:11] <jamescarr> I am using Linux Mint, which is for the most part ubuntu based right?
[22:11] <Jinn> maybe if it was alotta people would be swtiching from windows to ubuntu
[22:12] <sadaiyappan> how do i turn on javascript?
[22:12] <Jinn> linux are dump
[22:12] <Jinn> dude
[22:12] <Jinn> i need help installing java on my ubuntu ps3
[22:12] <sadaiyappan> how do i turn on javascript?
[22:12] <Jinn> no clue :(
[22:12] <mats_> firestarter is a lot easier to handle then just IP Tables
[22:12] <jamescarr> sadaiyappan: in firefox?
[22:12] <chazco> Nope... USB pass-through to Virtualbox for PocketPC is also failing :(
[22:12] <sadaiyappan> yeah
[22:12] <sadaiyappan> jamescarr in firefox
[22:12] <mwe> sadaiyappan: don't repeat
[22:13] <mwe> sadaiyappan: it's on by default
[22:13] <EtteSB> dont you need to install java first?
[22:13] <jamescarr> sadaiyappan: pretty simple... but ask in #firefox or #mozilla
[22:13] <mwe> no
[22:13] <mwe> not for javascript
[22:13] <mwe> only for java
[22:13] <Jinn> and besides shouldn't the firefox on ubuntu auto download java for you ?
[22:13] <jamescarr> EtteSB: Java is not Javascript!
[22:13] <EtteSB> meh almost :O
[22:13] <fparis> okay. this update did NOT fix my keyboard typing problem. it still jitters and hates   me and retypes a key whenever it wants
[22:13] <mwe> two entirely different things
[22:13] <jamescarr> Jinn: JAVA IS NOT JAVASCRIPT
[22:13] <sadaiyappan> hm..
[22:13] <jamescarr> EtteSB: NO IT IS NOT AT ALL
[22:13] <sadaiyappan> ok I need it for flash player
[22:13] <jamescarr> sorry
[22:13] <chazco> Hmm... is it safe to edit permissions on the USBFS
[22:14] <benanzo> Jinn: do you want Java or JavaScript?
[22:14] <chazco> ?
[22:14] <jamescarr> thats one thing that aggrivates me
[22:14] <Jinn> i never said it was javascript ?
[22:14] <mats_> so is there in IDS for Ubuntu? Snort?
[22:14] <sadaiyappan> flashplayer is not working for me
[22:14] <Jinn> I want Java!!
[22:14] <mwe> java and javascript don't have much in common besides a part of the name
[22:14] <Jinn> on my ubuntu ps3 !
[22:14] <seasonfive> Jinn: you're running Ubuntu on a Playstation 3 ?
[22:14] <jamescarr> java and ecmascript (known as javascript) have NOTHING in common ;)
[22:14] <Jinn> Indeed
[22:14] <seasonfive> Jinn: perhaps Java doesn't exist for cell processor yet ?
[22:14] <benanzo> Jinn: open a terminal Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal
[22:14] <TrichomeKid> Does the alternative install setup with the gui?
[22:14] <jamescarr> ecmascript is only called javascript because of a marketting agreement with netscape and sun back in the early 90s
[22:14] <benanzo> and type 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras'
[22:15] <EtteSB> sadaiyappan: flash is broken
[22:15] <Jinn> k
[22:15] <Jinn> i have
[22:15] <seasonfive> Jinn: at least on Linux. Install XP or Vista on it :)
[22:15] <Jinn> and ?
[22:15] <mwe> well they'e computer languages :)
[22:15] <benanzo> that will install Java and Flash and mp3 support, as well as a bunch of other nice-to-have things
[22:15] <benanzo> like MS Fonts
[22:15] <jamescarr> however, I do write some java applications using javascript :)
[22:15] <Whisper> how do i add sshd to autostart?
[22:15] <Jinn> dude ps3 has only 256MB and linux does nothing but emulates xp
[22:15] <NET||abuse> jeezus,, ok,,, memory stick was working a few minutes ago.. moved files over to my gf's laptop so she could use them, now was going to do it again (i safely detatched the stick) and i keep just getting these messages in /var/log/messages  http://www.pastebin.org/16377
[22:15] <Jinn> and vista
[22:15] <Jinn> so imagine the speed
[22:15] <jamescarr> java 6 has a built in scripting engine
[22:15] <chazco> The MS Fonts make most formatting worse for me ironically
[22:15] <Dr_willis_> Whisper,  if you install the ssh server package. it will auto start at boot up.
[22:16] <mats_> redguy is there an IDS for Ubuntu? Snort?
[22:16] <seasonfive> Jinn: it try
[22:16] <NET||abuse> what's wrong with the usb port,, i moved the stick to and from both laptops,, one is XP and it picks up the memory stick no problem
[22:16] <Jinn> what ?
[22:16] <seasonfive> Jinn: XP and Vista are far away better
[22:16] <Jinn> try it ?
[22:16] <Whisper> Dr_willis_ okay thanks
[22:16] <pinkbunny> wyclif, lol why are you welcoming me? ive been in here for over 2 years :)
[22:16] <benanzo> Whisper: how did you install it?  It should autostart automatically if you just installed via apt-get or synaptic
[22:16] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  you are rambling.. and it dosent really sound like a Ubuntu related topic. :)
[22:16] <Jinn> if that would completely delete the ubuntu so i can use the xp
[22:16] <Jinn>  i would
[22:16] <Jinn> but ubuntu will emulate it
[22:17] <Jinn> five was telling me to install xp on ubuntu
[22:17] <redguy> mats_: yup, I think ACID is there as well. It's a nice front-end to snort
[22:17] <seasonfive> Jinn: can i laught ?
[22:17] <Jinn> sure five
[22:17] <Jinn> Willis ,help!!
[22:17] <mwe> jamescarr: so that's true javascript. I'll tell my web developer friends that they in fact don't know javascript :)
[22:17] <Jinn> :(
[22:17] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  with vmware, or virtualbox . you can run xp under linux. correct. Some people need it.. others dont. :)
[22:17] <mats_> right on will check out ACID now
[22:17] <TrichomeKid> Does the alternative install setup with the GUI?
[22:17] <chazco> Is it safe to edit /etc/udev/rules.d/40-permissions.rules? Want to slightly change the permissions on the usb subsystem...
[22:17] <seasonfive> Jinn: well. Are you sure Java for Cell exist ?
[22:17] <Jinn> willis
[22:17] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  dont expect vmware or virtualbox to work on your ps3 however.
[22:17] <DerangedDelusion> Does anyone know of a Command-Line based IRC File Server?
[22:18] <Jinn> what is the point in doing this
[22:18] <Jinn> when
[22:18] <pike_> TrichomeKid: command line but its still kinda graphical
[22:18] <Jinn> ur xp
[22:18] <Jinn> wil be slow ?
[22:18] <Dr_willis_> I pasted a link on Java for the PS3 Ubuntu earlier.
[22:18] <Jinn> duo to the emulation
[22:18] <sadaiyappan> what do you mean flash is broken?
[22:18] <Dr_willis_> http://psubuntu.com/2007/02/13/howto-enable-java-for-firefox/
[22:18] <TrichomeKid> pike_: will i be able to install KDE or Gnome?
[22:18] <sadaiyappan> so it doesn't work right?
[22:18] <Jinn> willis
[22:18] <craig1709> Is anyone else reminded of "jerryleecooper"?
[22:18] <julio> i got go
[22:18] <Dr_willis_> sadaiyappan,  the flash company updated flash and broke the ubuntu flash installer.
[22:18] <julio> by
[22:18] <Jinn> help me install java on ubuntu ?
[22:18] <julio> quit
[22:19] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  go read that link i just posted.. follow the directions.. any problems check the psubuntu.com forums.
[22:19] <simion314> hi, i belive that my sound is on MUTE and the volume icon is missing , and i do not have sound. How can i get the volume icon appear?
[22:19] <sadaiyappan> oh
[22:19] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  all i did was google and find it.
[22:19] <sadaiyappan> when will it be fixed?
[22:19] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  ps3 linux - is still VERY VERY much a work in progress
[22:19] <pike_> TrichomeKid: yeah. even after the install you just sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop or whatever if you want it
[22:19] <TrichomeKid> pike_: okay thanks
[22:19] <pike_> TrichomeKid: but yes default alternate cd install has full gnome environment
[22:19] <seasonfive> Is Cell processor has PPC emulation ?
[22:20] <sadaiyappan> is it possible to get the older versions?
[22:20] <jroes> is there a way I can remove a package from attempting to be installed when I run apt-get install?  I have a botched sun-java6-bin that keeps trying to install and it prevents me from installing other pkgs
[22:20] <syntaxerror55> !flash > sadaiyappan
[22:20] <PCHENK> hi
[22:21] <syntaxerror55> PCHENK: Hello.
[22:21] <scguy318> jroes: remove the broken package perhaps
[22:21] <Dr_willis_> seasonfive,  i think the cell is some sort of ppc variant. :) but i dont keep up with ppc stuff.
[22:21] <PCHENK> hi

[22:23] <ubotu> Light: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[22:23] <NET||abuse> anyone able to tell me why my usb ports are always failing under ubuntu?
[22:23] <Light> I tried that.
[22:24] <Light> It still boots into windows.
[22:24] <Dr_willis_> Light,  grub is one of those tools that it pays to read the grub homepage/docs and learn its ins and outs.
[22:24] <NET||abuse> if i reboot it'll probably work, but that is just unacceptable for day to day usage
[22:24] <Jinn> why doesn't the ubuntu update manager install java for us ?
[22:24] <Dr_willis_> Light,  so you are sayin gyou get NO grub menu at boot up then?
[22:24] <Jinn> who are the people working on this updates anyways ?
[22:24] <mwe> NET||abuse: failing, as in not detected?
[22:24] <scguy318> Jinn: because the Update Manager simply finds updates for existing packages
[22:24] <Light> Err, yeah.
[22:24] <scguy318> Jinn: you want to use Synaptic for Java package installation
[22:24] <Light> Nothing, just auto boots into windows.
[22:24] <Linuxishawt> Does anyone know if source-o-matic down?
[22:24] <Light> I've installed it back on ubuntu, still boots into windows..
[22:24] <Dr_willis_> Light,  you need to reinstall grub to the mbr of the boot drive then. to get a grub menu
[22:25] <Light> I did..
[22:25] <scguy318> Light: is your BIOS preventing you from writing to the MBR?
[22:25] <Light> Preventing me?
[22:25] <Jinn> i have a windows ultimate CD
[22:25] <Dr_willis_> Light,  i would say you did somrhting wrong then. :) this is how its done.
[22:25] <Jinn> now how am i suppose to make the run under ubuntu ?
[22:25] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  install vmware, install the os inside vmware.
[22:25] <Light> Well, all I did was follow the steps.
[22:25] <larryone> Hi, has anyone hwe
[22:25] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  or virtualbox instead of vmwaer
[22:25] <daedra> how do you get terminal up in gutsy
[22:25] <daedra> ?
[22:26] <larryone> sorry - has anyone here ever installed dual boot with windoze vista?
[22:26] <Jinn> and must i log on ubuntu everytime i wanna log on vista ?
[22:26] <Light> Like, sudo grub, so on, but no menu..
[22:26] <Jinn> which one of this is better ?
[22:26] <Light> I checked the HDD and it's there.
[22:26] <scguy318> Jinn: if you went the VM route, yes, a dual-boot would be different
[22:26] <mwe> Jinn: you don't log on to linux to log on to windows, no
[22:26] <Jinn> virtual box ?
[22:26] <Cpudan80> Jinn: You really need to ask yourself what you are using Vista for
[22:27] <scguy318> Light: dd if=/dev/yourdisk bs=512 count=1 | strings :P
[22:27] <mwe> Jinn: at boot up you choose which one you wanna start
[22:27] <Cpudan80> If you want it for gaming -- you MUST dual boot
[22:27] <Jinn> dude
[22:27] <larryone> Jinn, when you're running dual boot, the grub list loads frst, not ubuntu.... that's where you can choose to go to vista or ubuntu
[22:27] <Light> Say what?
[22:27] <Ham1722> would someone be able to help me install ubuntu on my machine, i've been having an issue where once the installer runs "/ect/rc.local" it just hangs, I've tried installing using the GUI safe mode thing, where it comes up with an error "The screen has turned off(something like that) 6 times in the last 90 seconds, something bad could be going wrong". I sort of know my way around Linux (haven't used it in a very long time and i was using
[22:27] <Ham1722> problem is
[22:27] <Jinn>  i don't care
[22:27] <Jinn> fo far as
[22:27] <Jinn> its better than ubuntu
[22:27] <Cpudan80> Pretty much every other situation can be done in a VM
[22:27] <Jinn> how do i get virtual box ?
[22:27] <Dr_willis_> Jinn,  of coruse if you are wanting to do this on your PS3. i dont think vmware, or virtualbox exist for the ps3linux yet.
[22:27] <Cpudan80> Vista sucks - use XP in a VM
[22:27] <Dr_willis_> !virtualbox
[22:27] <ubotu> virtualbox is a x86 !virtualizer. A !free edition is available in !Gutsy as 'virtualbox-ose'. A non-free edition is available at http://virtualbox.org for most Ubuntu releases (help in #vbox) - Setup details at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox
[22:27] <Jinn> lol
[22:27] <scguy318> Dr_willis_: mebbe QEMU or something related, but other than that eh
[22:27] <Dr_willis_> !vmware
[22:27] <Jinn> dan
[22:27] <ubotu> VMWare Player is in Ubuntu's !Multiverse repository (package "vmware-player", not available for Gutsy, only Feisty and Edgy), and http://www.easyvmx.com/easyvmx.shtml can create VMs for it.   I sort of know my way around Linux (haven't used it in a very long time and i was using
[22:28] <Ham1722> problem is
[22:28] <Cpudan80> Jinn: Well you didn't say that -- yes that one is better than XP

[22:30] <scguy318> daedra: wrong addressee sorrry
[22:30] <kestir> Can someone kick Jinn the troll please?

[22:32] <Seveas> CHOWNER, this is a very busy support channel. Take offtopic talk elsewhere
[22:33] <bascule> daedra: you have to add the modules in /etc/modules or something
[22:33]  * CHOWNER does a sloppy salute
[22:33] <larryone> is there a different channel dedicated to ubuntu installs?

[22:33] <Dr_willis_> syntaxerror55,  and a lot of people that dont listen :)
[22:33] <scguy318> larryone: not really, here is good
[22:33] <ikonia> CHOWNER: can you please stop
[22:33] <bascule> daedra: or rebuild an initramfs, or put your own kernel in :)
[22:33] <larryone> ok
[22:33] <daedra> bascule: thought as much
[22:33] <larryone> scguy318, I have 4 current partitions
[22:33] <larryone> no3 is huge
[22:33] <daedra> bascule: Gutsy is ubuntu's Vista
[22:33] <syntaxerror55> Dr_willis_: there's always a lot of those.
[22:34] <larryone> can I resize it and put in ubintu there?
[22:34] <scguy318> daedra: that's a bad comparison :P
[22:34] <ikonia> daedra: please don't say that as that is nonsense
[22:34] <Seveas> daedra, neh, gutsy doesn't suck :)
[22:34] <syntaxerror55> daedra: And what does that make Hardy? :D
[22:34] <scguy318> larryone: and your question is?
[22:34] <larryone> can I resize it and put in ubintu there?
[22:34] <Light> scguy318: http://pastebin.com/d2b16defd
[22:34] <scguy318> larryone: yes
[22:34] <Seveas> larryone, yes, the ubuntu installer will let you do that
[22:34] <ikonia> larryone: sure, but just be aware that resizing partitions is not without risk
[22:35] <daedra> if you can't set up framebuffer console easily then its a horrifiying mess
[22:35] <larryone> ok
[22:35] <daedra> I'm overexaggerating but I am a console-junkie :)
[22:35] <larryone> but if I put a swap partition aswell that meand 6 partitions total, is that ok?
[22:35] <Dr_willis_> daedra,   i normal disable the framebuffer console..
[22:35] <ikonia> larryone: thats fine
[22:35] <scguy318> larryone: yes
[22:35] <larryone> ok
[22:35] <Light> ?
[22:35] <mats_> flash does work on gutsy but it takes a lot of effort
[22:35] <scguy318> Light: perhaps GRUB is being written to /dev/sdb when your BIOS boots from /dev/sda?
[22:35] <CrazyWulf> So here's a question......     Where do all of my minimized apps keep going? :/
[22:36] <Dr_willis_> mats_,  not really. :) i found a .deb that works. but it may not work for everyone.
[22:36] <scguy318> Light: that may be the possibility
[22:36] <ShiftyPowers> anyone know how to solve this EDID issue with nviida? http://www.pastebin.ca/867756
[22:36] <daedra> Dr_willis_: and what if you can't start up X for some reason?
[22:36] <Light> I'm suppose to get grub onto sda?
[22:36] <Dr_willis_> mats_,  the 2nd link the bot gives for !flash has a link to some testing debs.
[22:36] <larryone> so between partition /dev/sda3 and partition /dev/sda5 in goes ubuntu and swap
[22:36] <mats_> .deb?
[22:36] <ikonia> ShiftyPowers: edid is monitor issues, not nvidia issues normally
[22:36] <brobostigon> good evening
[22:36] <ikonia> ShiftyPowers: a lot of kit announces rubbish edid info
[22:36] <Seveas> hello brobostigon
[22:36] <larryone> there's no /dev/sda4 listed here, is that a problem (i'm running the ubuntu install prog)
[22:36] <Light> scguy318: I'm suppose to write grub onto sda?
[22:36] <Dr_willis_> daedra,   what does X have to do with the framebuffer? I disable the framebuffer on the console. If i cant get  X going.. I fix it. :P
[22:36] <ShiftyPowers> ikonia, i get that error about EDID being invalid, i'm trying desperately to solve it
[22:36] <Dr_willis_> mats_,  yes. :)
[22:37] <Dr_willis_> !flash
[22:37] <daedra> Dr_willis_: how do you fix it!
[22:37] <mats_> whats a deb
[22:37] <ikonia> ShiftyPowers: you'll porbably have to set the info manually if edid info is rubbish
[22:37] <ShiftyPowers> everything worked great, I installed a new 8800gt and the latest nvidia driver and now i'm stuck at 640x480
[22:37] <Seveas> Dr_willis_, X can use a framebuffer driver if you feel like it :)
[22:37] <ikonia> mats_: an ubuntu package
[22:37] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  i  edit the xorg.conf or whatever as needed.
[22:37] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[22:37] <ubotu> The Flash plugin installation is currently broken. This is due to Adobe changing the tar file that the package downloads. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=636397 if you need to fix this immediately, but it's recommended to wait for an official fix.
[22:37] <mats_> ok
[22:37] <Dr_willis_> Seveas,  yea.. but that never took off.
[22:37] <ShiftyPowers> ikonia, any docs on how to do that?
[22:37] <daedra> Dr_willis_: using a live distro?
[22:37] <Light> scguy318: I'm suppose to put grub onto sda? And not sdb?
[22:37] <bascule> ShiftyPowers: there is sime nvidia option for xorg.conf to tell it to ignore it, see nvidia docs
[22:37] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  been there, done that.
[22:37] <thrice> Anybody know about a .mvrb to xvid converter?
[22:37] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  or the recovery mode. or live cd's
[22:37] <ikonia> ShiftyPowers: you'll have to set info like hsncy and vsync and 1280x800 say in xorg.conf manually, or use "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" and enter the info manually
[22:37] <CHOWNER> 640x480 ? bios up to date on motherboard?
[22:37] <daedra> Dr_willis_: the point I am getting at, is if you can't get into X, you can simply get into tty1 and fix it from console
[22:38] <CrazyWulf> Where do my minimized apps keep going?
[22:38] <ikonia> CHOWNER: bios ? it's a video card
[22:38] <daedra> Dr_willis_: MUCH easier than faffing about with livecds
[22:38] <Seveas> CrazyWulf, the bottom bar on the screen unless you deleted the window list
[22:38] <fotofl0> what do i use to install perldoc?
[22:38] <fotofl0> apt-get?
[22:38] <ikonia> fotofl0: synaptic
[22:38] <larryone> the ubtuntu installer has listed /dev/sda1, 2, 3, 5   how do I tell if there's a partition /dev/sda4 that might have data on it?
[22:38] <Dr_willis_> daedra,    and what does this have to do with the framebuffer?  i gues sive totally missed the actual problem.
[22:38] <ikonia> fotofl0: find the package
[22:38] <Seveas> fotofl0, apt-get install perldoc would do the trick
[22:38] <buffdaemon> hello guys which package should i install so that i can use stdio.h  in ubuntu
[22:38] <Seveas> buffdaemon, libc6-dev
[22:38] <ikonia> larryone: partition 4 won't exist because partition 5 is your extended partition
[22:38] <daedra> Dr_willis_: well, just hit CTRL+ALT+F1
[22:38] <buffdaemon> thanks buddy
[22:38] <Seveas> buffdaemon, you'll likely want build-essential as well
[22:39] <Cpudan80> buffdaemon: build-essential
[22:39] <buffdaemon> ok
[22:39] <NET||abuse> mwe, sorry you responded and i had stepped away for a moment.

[22:39] <buffdaemon> thanks a lot
[22:39] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  yes that takes you to the console.. so? :)
[22:39] <fotofl0> Seveas: didnt work
[22:39] <bascule> larryone: there isn't, or sda4 is extended containing logical sda5
[22:39] <larryone> ikonia, does that mean I can creats a 4th partition after no3?
[22:39] <CrazyWulf> Just did a clean install..... Haven't changed anything except updates
[22:39] <CrazyWulf> Hmm
[22:39] <daedra> Dr_willis_: I can't get there in Gutsy
[22:39] <larryone> aaa

[22:39] <CrazyWulf> So how do I get it back?
[22:39] <larryone> ok
[22:39] <Light> Wait, I'm not sure anymore, do I put grub onto windows? Or Ubuntu?
[22:39] <fotofl0> sweet
[22:39] <daedra> doing CTRL+ALT+F1 in Gutsy gives me a black screen
[22:39] <fotofl0> just downloaded 12 mb

[22:39] <nicoleamychung> hello
[22:39] <fotofl0> err 7 mb
[22:39] <nicoleamychung> i'm new to ubuntu
[22:39] <ikonia> Light: regardless of anything being on it
[22:39] <TrichomeKid> Okay so I used the alternative install to get ubuntu on my machine. BUT when its loading the desktop, the monitor flickers and it goes back to login
[22:39] <Seveas> hello nicoleamychung
[22:39] <Light> Which, is on my ubuntu, which I tried, which doesn't work.
[22:39] <daedra> Dr_willis_: no prompt, no nothing
[22:39] <TrichomeKid> whats the problem?
[22:39] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  its HIGHLY likely the 'framebuffer' being enabled by default is conflicting with the X video drivers, or some other  quirk. Thus i normally disable the framebuffer on the console. by using the 'nofb' option.
[22:40] <Cpudan80> nicoleamychung: Welcome aboard, what's up?

[22:40] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  i feel that the framebuffer should be disabled by default. I see proberly a dozen identical problems to yours in here a week.
[22:40] <flub> hi, the 7.10 installer crashed on me when it was repartitioning the drive.  my guess is that it removed swap while in use, restarting and manually doing swapoff -a before the install worked.  is this a known issue or should a bug be reported?
[22:41] <Dr_willis_> its not like its used much. :)
[22:41] <Seveas> Dr_willis_, hear, hear!
[22:41] <fotofl0> another question: my terminal has some random chinese looking chars in it when i read documentation
[22:41] <CrazyWulf> How do I get back the window list?
[22:41] <bascule> Dr_willis_: I thought framebuffer was disabled?
[22:41] <fotofl0> probably setup wrong?
[22:41] <daedra> Dr_willis_: Do I just enter nofb in gnome-terminal and tty1 will work again?
[22:41] <fotofl0> (from ssh)
[22:41] <Dr_willis_> bascule,  it wasent last clean install of gutsy i did.
[22:41] <Seveas> CrazyWulf, rightclick on the bottom panel, select add to panel. In the window that appears, pick the window list
[22:41] <nicoleamychung> hello
[22:41] <Seveas> hello nicoleamychung
[22:41] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  No.. You hae to give the nofb option to the kernel when you boot. Eithe by editing the /boot/grub/menu.lst or editing the speciifc boot line from the grub menu
[22:41] <bascule> Dr_willis_: if you use vesa for the fb all is usually well, it's if it uses card specific modules that probs occur
[22:42] <bjames> does anyone know how to mount a pfs.img file?  this is part of my router firmware, file does not give any useful information, so I'm not holding any high hopes
[22:42] <nicoleamychung> are you guys computer
[22:42] <Cpudan80> Oh lord here it goes
[22:42] <Dr_willis_> bascule,  yep. Ive seen way too many cases of my cards messing up the consoles.
[22:42] <daedra> Dr_willis_: I'll try that then
[22:42] <nicoleamychung> gtg bye
[22:42] <Cpudan80> Seveas: Does the bot have a be serious factoid ?
[22:42] <Seveas> bjames, there are some tools that can convert .img to .iso
[22:42] <Seveas> Cpudan80, yes
[22:42] <bascule> bjames: it's not mountable if it's firmware, just a file
[22:42] <bjames> Seveas: are they not just for iso9660 format?
[22:43] <bascule> bjames: like an mp3 isn;t mountable
[22:43] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  # defoptions=quiet nosplash nofb      is my line in /boot/grub/menu.lst   - after editing it run 'sudo update-grub'
[22:43] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  then reboot.
[22:43] <bjames> bascule: I guess I have to do it manually then
[22:43] <daedra> Dr_willis_: tanks
[22:43] <guidov> hey, i just tried installing ubuntu server, tried burning 3 cd's but the installation keeps telling me the cdrom is corrupt (wrong md5 hashes). is this a common problem? i am sure the cd's are correct
[22:43] <visof> how can i open "take screen shots "program from terminal
[22:43] <visof> ?
[22:43] <bascule> bjames: the router should ahve a browse dialog so you can point it to the file
[22:44] <Dr_willis_> guidov,  try them on a different machine? its possible the cd/dvd drive is flakey.
[22:44] <Seveas> guidov, did you check the md5sum of the iso?
[22:44] <daedra> Dr_willis_: I think the wiki should be updated to the nofb edit
[22:44] <Seveas> visof, gnome-screenshot
[22:44] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  go for it. :)
[22:44] <redguy> mats_: I guess so
[22:44] <guidov> Dr_willis_: i tried 2 cdrom drives
[22:44] <CHOWNER> burn iso discs at 4x speed
[22:44] <guidov> Seveas: yeah md5's are all correct
[22:44] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  i made a wiki page the other day  for the fuse smb stuff.
[22:44] <bjames> bascule: no, I think you misunderstand - this is not a binary blob that the router expects to upload to replace the old firmware
[22:44]  * bascule agrees with CHOWNER
[22:44] <Seveas> guidov, try lower speed burning
[22:44] <daedra> Dr_willis_: here goes!
[22:44] <makers_mark> how can i change the system load screen?
[22:44] <bascule> bjames: what is it then?
[22:45] <Hesham> Help Please!! i want to upgrade my ubuntu 7.04 to the new one 7.10. i have the latest version on a cd how can i upgrade from cd?
[22:45] <bjames> bascule: I have extracted the original files from the binary using a mix of dd and zip -F (fix)
[22:45] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  make a page. then i will check it out and help if ya want.
[22:45] <cizarr> anyone know how could i restore my bottom bar(where the opened applications bars) in ubuntu please?
[22:45] <Seveas> Hesham, you can't
[22:45] <bjames> and I want to further inspect them
[22:45] <guidov> Seveas: ok will try that.
[22:45] <fotofl0>  open(MEMORY,¡¯>¡¯, \$var)
[22:45] <riotkittie> ah, the sweet sweet smell of burning power supply unit :\
[22:45] <unop> !upgrade
[22:45] <ubotu> For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[22:45] <bascule> bjames: why?
[22:45] <guidov> i can hardly believe my system is corrupt because i ran another distribution on it for a long time without problems
[22:45] <Hesham> Seveas so what should i do? re-install but am afraid to put the new system on another place not the one which the older version is in
[22:45] <bjames> bascule: I want to see if there is any chance of reverce engineering it
[22:46] <bjames> bascule: at least to a point
[22:46] <solexious> Hello all, Can I use ubuntu server as a replacement for my router? I have all my network on a gigabit switch, only a network connection from my modem goes to my current router and a connection from that to my switch.
[22:46] <unop> Hesham, is your linux box connected upto the internet?
[22:46] <bascule> bjames: i see, hexedit it is then
[22:46] <bjames> I have already found traces of what I think is GPL code
[22:46] <bjames> yes, I've been using hexedit
[22:46] <bjames> ghex2 actually
[22:46] <Seveas> !upgrade | hesham
[22:46] <ubotu> hesham: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[22:46] <CHOWNER> bjames : get a linksys with linux on it
[22:46] <Hesham> unop yeah, and am in the " keyboard layout "
[22:46] <Seveas> solexious, yes
[22:46] <daedra> Dr_willis_: thanks
[22:46] <unop> solexious, sure
[22:46] <bjames> CHOWNER: I'd like a port of OpenWRT for my router
[22:47] <bjames> rather than but a new one
[22:47] <larryone> the partitioner refuses to rezise my windows! how do I fix this?
[22:47] <unop> Hesham, well, you'll have to boot back up into 7.04 and do an upgrade -- the CD just isnt capable of providing that
[22:47] <bascule> larryone: defrag windows in windows
[22:47] <makers_mark> how can i change the system load screen?
[22:47] <solexious> What should I search for? I know I need dhcp but not sure what else to run port farwading etc
[22:47] <bascule> !splash | makers_mark
[22:47] <ubotu> makers_mark: To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[22:47] <bjames> ideally I want a router that I can ssh into from anywhere in the world, then ping my server with a (magic) Wake-on-lan packet to access that remotely from anywhere
[22:47] <bjames> then turn it off again
[22:47] <Cpudan80> bjames: DD-WRT can do all that
[22:47] <Seveas> bjames, look for knock
[22:47] <Seveas> bjames, look for knockd
[22:48] <TrichomeKid> Has anyone had problems with the desktop not loading?
[22:48] <bjames> Cpudan80: OpenWRT is a better idea
[22:48] <bjames> Seveas: will do
[22:48] <Cpudan80> bjames: Why? They work pretty much the same
[22:48] <bjames> DD-WRT isn't open is it?
[22:48] <unop> solexious, iptables (already build in) provides firewalling and port forwarding, dhcpd and bind will be needed atop it to provide ip addressing and name resolution
[22:48] <magnetron> Cpudan80: dd-wrt doesn'n honor the GPL
[22:48] <Cpudan80> bjames: It's free but not open source
[22:48] <Seveas> solexious, firestarter can do the basic connection sharing functions.
[22:48] <Cpudan80> Oh lord here it goes
[22:49] <Cpudan80> Anyway - that's not on topic
[22:49] <solexious> thank you both, will search for that
[22:49] <Hesham> unop so i can't use my cd, i just have to download the 770mb updates?
[22:49] <makers_mark> thanks bascule
[22:49] <scguy318> magnetron: DD-WRT is licensed under the GPL
[22:49] <unop> Seveas, I think he has the ubuntu server installed -- firestarter would be overkill there, no?
[22:49] <cubexombi> umm quick question, my google fu is weak and I need to add the radeonfb module at boot, kinda crappy not having any video untill X starts
[22:49] <scguy318> magnetron: unless I'm reading the information incorrectly?
[22:49] <Seveas> solexious, if you feel like reading manuals, grab an iptables intro and you'll learn to setup a proper SOHO firewall/routing thing
[22:49] <magnetron> scguy318: but they don't release the source code for the binary files
[22:49] <Seveas> cubexombi, echo radeonfb | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
[22:50] <unop> Hesham, well, it depends -- it could be more or less that amount yes .. and i'm afraid that is what you have to do
[22:50] <cubexombi> where should I add it? /etc modules or somewhere else
[22:50] <cubexombi> seveas.. good enough thanks!
[22:50] <Hesham> thanks unop Seveas
[22:50] <eshear> php4-cli doesn't seem to exist for gutsy....is there a replacement package?  How do I figure that out?
[22:50] <Seveas> eshear, php5-cli
[22:50] <eshear> aha
[22:50] <bjames> Seveas: I don't understand exactly what knockd pages are telling me
[22:50] <Seveas> php4 is dead
[22:50] <scguy318> magnetron: which binaries? I'm browsing source right now
[22:50] <bjames> I don't think this solves my problem
[22:51] <eshear> i have a script that's php4 only right now...and no time to upgrade it
[22:51] <unop> Hesham, you could upgrade using the CD -- but that'd mean you'll need to backup all your configuration files and $HOME directory -- your mileage can vary
[22:51] <eshear> is there some kind of backports thing I can use?
[22:51] <unop> !backports
[22:51] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[22:51] <magnetron> scguy318: the firmware.
[22:51] <Seveas> bjames, knockd will tell your server to open ports if you know the secret knocks
[22:51] <eshear> heh, thanks
[22:51] <Seveas> bjames, just like your magic WOL packet would do
[22:51] <bjames> Seveas: I want my server to Wake-on-LAN
[22:51] <bjames> i.e. it will be off
[22:51] <Seveas> ah!
[22:51] <Seveas> well, then ignore me ;)
[22:51] <bjames> and the NIC will only listen to magic packets
[22:52] <bjames> which can only be sent on a local network as they are broadcast packets ;-)
[22:52] <unop> bjames, that's largely a BIOS thingy
[22:52] <Darkmystere> i know theres probally guides but can some 1 walk me through making a Bootable Windows XP disk?
[22:52] <Seveas> bjames, are they? I thought they were just link-layer packets and therefore local
[22:52] <Darkmystere> i need to repair my install but all i have is an old iso
[22:52] <magnetron> scguy318: http://xwrt.blogspot.com/2007/02/dd-wrt-continues-to-exploit-free-open.html
[22:52] <scguy318> magnetron: I see
[22:52] <unop> Darkmystere, as then guys in ##windows
[22:52] <Lifeisfunny> is there a command to post into the terminal to fix the totem movie player I can't get it to go into fullscreen properly.
[22:53] <Seveas> !windows | Darkmystere
[22:53] <ubotu> Darkmystere: For discussion and help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[22:53] <bjames> Seveas: as I understand it they are broadcast packets
[22:53] <Darkmystere> Err
[22:53] <Darkmystere> im trying to do it from Ubuntu
[22:53] <bjames> and can only be sent over local networks
[22:53] <Darkmystere> ..
[22:53]  * LjL thinks seveas has a factoid to revert
[22:53] <Seveas> LjL, :)
[22:53] <Seveas> LjL, it's tempting
[22:53] <mats_> Firestarter is now up and running
[22:53] <Darkmystere> Seaveas: Im trying to do it in Ubuntu not windows
[22:54] <mats_> beginning to like Linux
[22:54] <Seveas> bjames, you were right and I was not completely wrong
[22:54] <Seveas> "The Magic Packet is a broadcast frame, transmitted over port 0 (Historically the most common port used), or 7 or 9 (becoming the most common ports used). It can be sent over a variety of connectionless protocols (UDP, IPX) but UDP is most commonly used. The data that is contained in a Magic Packet is the defined constant as represented in hexadecimal: FF FF FF FF FF FF followed by sixteen repetitions of
[22:54] <Seveas> the target computer's MAC address, possibly followed by a four or six byte password."
[22:54] <larryone> I've gotten to the most difficult part of the install - what to name the new ubuntu host
[22:55] <Seveas> it does have the MAC address but not in the IP header :)
[22:55] <bjames> Seveas: that's the badger
[22:55] <Seveas> larryone, StarshipEnterprise
[22:55] <unop> larryone, name it "idunno" :)
[22:55] <Sep1> 1271 ppl O.o, its going to be a bit tricky to get answers i would like though all the clutter =P
[22:55] <Seveas> larryone, or: Vostok1
[22:55] <creature> Hello. I have some questions. First up: when I install something via synaptic that creates menu entries, it *should* run update-menus so that the non-Gnome window managers get updated menu files. Gutsy, it seems, does not do htis. How do I make it do this?
[22:55] <bjames> Seveas: I need to either get OpenWRT/DD-WRT/whatever onto my router, or get a new router with it on to do what I want
[22:55] <Darkmystere> Seavas: Lol nice me and my friend just made a Messanger that pings some 1s Ip and Directly talks to them that uses Encryption that wpa was soppose to work it confiurms the key without acctually sending it you have to message around 50-60 lines for wireshark to even pick it up
[22:55] <kgx> hey is if i need http://localhost/* to point to http://www.xya.com/* in apache, how can i do this? i don't want to use hosts file because that will spoil other stuff (like mysql, etc)
[22:55] <larryone> it is christened laplap! long live the laplap!
[22:55] <ArthurArchnix> larryone: Whatever you like. But you'll see it a lot, so don't make it something you don't want to see everyday.
[22:56] <TrichomeKid> So I had problems opening my desktop on v7.10 - I used failsafe mode and it loaded.  What can I do to possibly fix the problem?
[22:56] <redguy> kgx: use apaches redirect directive?
[22:57] <Darkmystere> Seavas: It wors entirely on linux can be used in Windows also And It takes up less memory and bandswith than Any other messanger because it doesnt update until you do somthing like send a essanger
[22:57] <Seveas> bjames, I have a spare cisco monster for you ;)
[22:57] <Sep1> redguy: Is that releated to proxypass?
[22:57] <bjames> argh - a rackmount router?
[22:57] <jarle> what is the name of the type of graphic console ubuntu uses at boot-time. Need to do some googling, but can't remember what to google for?
[22:57] <bjames> :-D
[22:57] <kantor> hi, can somebody tell me please some mp3 player, DAP device mangers for Linux ?
[22:57] <Seveas> bjames, of course :)
[22:58] <bascule> jarle: boot splash?
[22:58] <bjames> lol, thanks for the offer
[22:58] <creature> jarle: It's a framebuffer.
[22:58] <Lifeisfunny> larryone, how about NewBuCity
[22:58] <robeh> can someone please step me though the process on creating ssh keys so i can shh without a password
[22:58] <jarle> bascule: before the splash
[22:58] <unop> jarle, usplash?
[22:58] <Cpudan80> Darkmystere: You want to use a program called NLite -- it might work under Wine, might not
[22:58] <Seveas> robeh, ssh-keygen
[22:58] <jarle> creature: that's it, thnx :)
[22:58] <robeh> i know i just cant get it working
[22:58] <bjames> the idea is to have my fileserver accessible remotely, but only leave something low power on
[22:58] <Darkmystere> Cpudan80: Is it an iso burner?
[22:58] <creature> robeh: I used http://www.linuxproblem.org/art_9.html to do it just this afternoon.
[22:58] <bascule> jarle: the ubuntu thing with the orange bar is the boot splash
[22:58] <robeh> thank you
[22:58] <Darkmystere> Cpudan80: Should i risk it and try and use magic iso Via wine it worked to convert 2 isos
[22:58] <bjames> although if you have a spare router I'm sure you can find a place for it on fleaBay
[22:58] <bjames> ;-)
[22:58] <bascule> jarle: other than that you are looking for a grub splash
[22:58] <Seveas> robeh, when it asks type, pick dsa, when it ask size pick 1024. Hit enter when it asks for a filename
[22:58] <Cpudan80> Darkion: You wanted to make a windows XP ISO bootable right? That's what NLite does
[22:59] <pg> After I resume from sleep, I can't play sound files, though the system beep works.  Sound works again after I remove and reinsert the sound driver module.  Any help?
[22:59] <pg> OK
[22:59] <Cpudan80> Darkion: If you just want to burn an ISO, then you should use GnomeBaker or some such thing
[22:59] <jarle> creature: The framebuffer is all garbled at boot on my laptop, I guess what people call boot splash is actually a fb?
[23:00] <robeh> do i do the ssh-keygen on the host im connecting to or the one im connecting with
[23:00] <bjames> Seveas: I'm currently in "discussion" with Belkin (soon to also be Philips and SMC who make compatible firmware) to release GPL code
[23:00] <creature> jarle: The bootsplash sits on top of the framebuffer layer, AFAIK.
[23:00] <bjames> I've found references to "linux" "gnu" and "apache" in their firmware
[23:00] <mats_> im a firestarter
[23:00] <creature> The framebuffer is the bit of the kernel that lets you do something other than 80x24.
[23:00] <Seveas> bjames, nice
[23:00] <jarle> bascule: I'm talking about the boot progress bar (below the unbuntu logo) Actually I can't see it at all...
[23:01] <creature> Which includes running a terminal at a higher esrolution, or shwoing pictures.
[23:01] <mats_> what is debian?
[23:01] <unop> Seveas, would you know of a utility that'd allow you to place an image on the desktop (apart from the wallpaper) -- like osd_cat draws text on screen?
[23:01] <bascule> !debian
[23:01] <ubotu> Ubuntu and Debian are closely related. Ubuntu builds on the foundations of Debian architecture and infrastructure, with a different community and release process. See http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/relationship - Remember, !repositories meant for Debian should NOT be used on Ubuntu!
[23:01] <Lifeisfunny> Would someone know a command to post into a terminal to fix the totem movie player?   I can't get it to go into fullscreen properly.  It goes into fullscreen but when the frame is suppose to fade, it doesn't.
[23:02] <jarle> creature: any idea where I should look to change to boot-splash?
[23:02] <Seveas> unop, display, from the imagamagick suite
[23:02] <unop> !usplash
[23:02] <ubotu> To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[23:02] <kgx> redguy: well i don't really want it to redirect. there's some propriety software on the server that can't use ssl, so i have to make the software request http://localhost and apache should retrieve https://xyz.com when it http://localhost is requested. is it possible?
[23:02] <unop> Seveas, hmm, ok, didn't know it could do that--  thanks -- i'll have a look
[23:03] <creature> jarle: You can't change *to* boot-splash, it sits on top of the the framebuffer. ubotu's links should help you configure it, though.
[23:03] <chalcedony> what do people use to transcribe things in Linux?
[23:03] <creature> jarle: If you're having trouble booting, you can turn it off.
[23:03] <todd_> anyone know how to delete all files older then a specified ammount of time (30 days)?
[23:03] <debatem1> hey all, my company just allocated a small budget for funding open source projects. *besides ubuntu* where do you think we should point it to do the most good?
[23:04] <jarle> creature: I guess I have to either change screen resolution of the boot-splash, or turn it of...
[23:04] <Aloha_> debatem1: freenode
[23:04] <creature> todd_: Use the find command to find the files, and run them through rm.
[23:04] <Hesham> gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" this can't work to upgrade from cd?
[23:04] <debatem1> Aloha_: can't believe I didnt think of that. any other suggestions?
[23:05] <Aloha_> debatem1: me ;)
[23:05] <creature> jarle: You'll need to edit your /boot/grub/menu.lst file to change the options, then run sudo update-grub to write your changes tot heb oot sector.
[23:05] <debatem1> aloha_: lol
[23:06] <jarle> creature: thnx!
[23:06] <creature> jarle: No problem. Good luck.
[23:07] <debatem1> we have a small budget for funding open source projects. *besides ubuntu* where do you guys think we should point it to do the most good?
[23:07] <Seveas> debatem1, gnome or Xorg
[23:07] <DiseasedLove> Question: When using cfdisk, my local hardrive reports no partitions when in reality there is 1 NTFS, 1 ext3, and 1 swap partition. When using gparted, it hangs on "Looking for Devices" or something similar. Can anyone solve my problem?
[23:07] <Aloha> debatem1: xfce
[23:07] <robeh> thanks creature works great
[23:07] <Hesham> i need to upgrade my system 7.04 to 7.10 from cd obtained from ubuntu. gksu "sh /cdrom/cdromupgrade" this can't work to upgrade from cd?
[23:08] <bascule> debatem1: gnash
[23:08] <creature> DiseasedLove: I've found gparted is *really* slow to display partitions, so it might not actually be hung.
[23:08] <redguy> kgx: not sure. Perhaps look at mod_proxy_http ?
[23:08] <debatem1> seveas, aloha: do you think its smarter to donate to larger or smaller projects? i wasnt sure
[23:08] <lukasz> Hey people i just reinstalled Ubuntu :)
[23:08] <debatem1> bascule: good suggestion! thank you
[23:08] <Aloha> debatem1: its a donation, donate to your favorite
[23:08] <ArthurArchnix> DiseasedLove: Have you tried starting gparted with the -nofloppy option?
[23:09] <^Zew^> hello
[23:09] <creature> debatem1: Perhaps a less established project. Maybe a sound app? Sound editing wasn't much good on Linux last itme I checked.
[23:09] <debatem1> aloha: I just don't really know who needs the cash the most, you know?
[23:09] <Seveas> debatem1, depends on your preferences
[23:09] <DiseasedLove> creature: Would you know why the partitions arent showing up? I used PartionMagic as well and it reported that the entire disk was BAD, but I this is the one I boot into.
[23:09] <jerbear> i'm looking at my /etc/hosts file and there's a line with <IP_ADDRESS> with my machine's name... what is the purpose of this? shouldn't it be on the line with "<IP_ADDRESS>"?
[23:09] <debatem1> creature: hmm
[23:09] <Aloha> debatem1: they all do
[23:10] <Seveas> debatem1, for smaller projects your donations can make a huge difference, but the larger projects are often more important for the success of linux
[23:11] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: Wikimedia
[23:11] <jarle> any idea how many colours the ubuntu boot splash needs in the framebuffer?
[23:11] <debatem1> seveas: i guess maybe I just have more sympathy for the small projects lol. anything spring to mind?
[23:11]  * Rasputin waves to the people
[23:11] <Seveas> jarle, 256
[23:11] <jarle> Seveas: thnx!
[23:11] <Seveas> debatem1, gnash was a good suggestion
[23:11] <CelsoLeite> .
[23:11] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: yes, Gnash
[23:11] <Seveas> debatem1, or telepathy
[23:12] <syntaxerror55> but still, consider Wikipedia
[23:12] <Seveas> or pulseaudio
[23:12] <mcphail> debatem1: gnupdf might be worth it
[23:12] <nirc> can you somehow convert code written in vb.net 2005 for windows to something linux can run?
[23:12] <creature> DiseasedLove: No idea. It's possible there's something funky with your partition table that's weird enough to throw partitioners off but not weird enough to stop you booting.
[23:12] <fitztrev> Is there a program to edit *.ai vector graphic files??
[23:12] <syntaxerror55> mcphail: we have enough PDF editors
[23:12] <creature> Or it could be something entirely different. You're running the partitioners as root, right?
[23:12] <creature> Or, via sudo, at least.
[23:12] <DiseasedLove> Yes, I'm root.
[23:12] <mcphail> syntaxerror55: not any which meet ISO standards
[23:12] <debatem1> seveas: gnash is at the top of the list now, im looking at telepathy
[23:13] <matisse> hi
[23:13] <syntaxerror55> mcphail: sorry, I meant readers. GnuPDF edits them?
[23:13] <matisse> how do I delete stuff from the bash cache ?
[23:13] <bascule> debatem1: you could also give server/bandwidth to projects, freenode for example
[23:13] <creature> matisse: Do you mean the command history?
[23:13] <Seveas> matisse, rm ~/.bash_history
[23:13] <basy> Are there any installers for man pages? I need to install man pages for develop with openGL, i have mangl.tar.Z and there are *html and *3gl manuals, any idea how to install that?, pliz
[23:13] <matisse> creature: yes
[23:13] <mcphail> syntaxerror55: the libraries will allow creation and display
[23:13] <matisse> Seveas: that would be to much :-)
[23:13] <cmagnon> DiseasedLove : even if you are the root user use sudo any way
[23:13] <creature> matisse: Either remove or edit ~/.bash_history.
[23:14] <debatem1> bascule: yeah, thats being worked on.
[23:14] <matisse> thx both of you :-)
[23:14] <syntaxerror55> mcphail: I retract my previous statement
[23:14] <debatem1> Ok, thank you all, these look pretty promising
[23:14] <mcphail> syntaxerror55: :)
[23:15] <DiseasedLove> creature, cmagnon: Thanks for you help, I'll try a partition table fix
[23:15] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: oh, also, check out the Uira project. It's for flash creating in Linux
[23:15] <pieisgood> so, I have a bluetooth device that can detect certain devices (like my phone) but not others (like my 360 controller) why is this and how can I fix that?
[23:16] <creature> debatem1: Can we have some more information about who you are? I mean, it might be best to give back to the things you use most often. So if you're a web developer something like apache or lighttpd, if you're a C coder something like GNU (for gcc), etc.
[23:16] <pg> After I resume from sleep, I can't play sound files, though the system beep works.  Sound works again after I remove and reinsert the sound driver module.  Same thing with the ethernet card.  Any help?
[23:16] <debatem1> syntaxerror55: thank you, that looks very interesting
[23:17] <debatem1> creature: we're a consulting firm that looks to move small businesses away from proprietary software and towards F/OSS in South Carolina, USA
[23:17] <bascule> pg: that is a deep problem, submit a bug on launchpad, think it's unlikely there is a workaround for such an issue
[23:17] <daedra>  Dr_willis_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub
[23:17] <xomp_> can someone help me with boot modifiers? I need to find out which modifier will allow Gutsy Live CD to boot on my machine :(
[23:17] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: then Uira. It's the only one of it's kind.
[23:17] <daedra> Dr_willis_: I _may_ edit the wiki page on framebuffers but it appears to have my problem already covered
[23:17] <xomp_> is there a complete list of available boot modifiers maybe?
[23:17] <creature> debatem1: Maybe you could sponsor the development of a device driver for something that's unsupported/barely working.
[23:17] <xomp_> I'll have to try them one at a time, process of elimination type deal :)
[23:18] <daedra> Dr_willis_: is vga=normal the same as nofb?
[23:18] <debatem1> syntaxerror55: yeah, that one's looking quite promising
[23:18] <debatem1> creature: was thinking about that- blackberries come to mind
[23:18] <spykid33> hi
[23:18] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  i dont think so. You can use vga=ask and test out different modes.
[23:19] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  ive seen no way to 'tell' the installer to not use the framebuffer option.
[23:19] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  i always edit the menu.lst afterwards
[23:19] <daedra> Dr_willis_: yeah I'll add the nofb kernel option to an example
[23:19] <daedra> and paste it in the wiki
[23:19] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  that page says  = normal is the same as nofb :)
[23:19] <daedra> yeah...
[23:19] <daedra> just checking
[23:20] <creature> debatem1: Blackberries, ipods, webcams, printers...
[23:20] <debatem1> syntaxerror55: urg. uira's shut down.
[23:20] <Dr_willis_> that wiki page needs a littel work daedra  :)
[23:20] <pg> bascule: thanks!
[23:20] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: really? They've come such a long way since I last checked them in '06 ;;
[23:21] <larryone> is there a nice grub editor installed by default??? I want grub to be pretty, and need to change the timeouts...
[23:21] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: oh. It's a shame
[23:21] <debatem1> syntaxerror55: well, according to wikipedia- the site says 'under heavy construction'
[23:21] <bascule> larryone: timeouts are easy, adding a picture less so
[23:21] <Dr_willis_> daedra,  ive never seen a 'framebuffer' referance in any bios's ive expored either like the page metnions.
[23:21] <larryone> bascule, is there no good grub editor?
[23:21] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: nah, they shut down due to a french law.
[23:22] <bascule> larryone: no, it's all test-editor based afaik
[23:22] <bascule> text-editor
[23:22] <larryone> editing menu.lst is easy, but why is therre no gui editor?
[23:22] <debatem1> syntaxerror55: government: cause none of us is as stupid as all of us
[23:22] <mwe> larryone: because nobody cared to make one
[23:22] <larryone> owch
[23:22] <CelsoLeite> Channel of ubuntu brasil, anybody knows?
[23:22] <creature> larryone: You can get a skin/theme for the grub splash screen so it's pretty on boot-up, but it doesn't tend to hang around long enough on my machine to warrant it...
[23:22] <pieisgood> hello ubuntu, any of you guys use a wireless 360 controller with your ubuntu installation (gutsy 7.10)?
[23:23] <PurpZeY> !br
[23:23] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt para ajuda em português. Obrigado.
[23:23] <CelsoLeite> !br
[23:23] <mwe> larryone: given the simplicity of the file it's not really needed
[23:23] <larryone> ok
[23:23] <schiste> Hey folks, I'm currently trying to help a friend of mine just installing UBuntu (I'm on kubuntu). He has a vaio and he can't either set the laptop to "economy" or, better, control the fans speed. Does anyone know how to do that?
[23:23] <CelsoLeite> thks!
[23:23] <CelsoLeite> =P
[23:23] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: I checked them only a week ago and saw they had a UI, and was prepared for a real version so I could erase my Windows partition that only is there because of Flash 8. This is really bothering me. :(
[23:23] <PurpZeY> schiste: Think you need to install the Sony acpis....I had a similar issue.
[23:23] <creature> When I install something via synaptic that creates menu entries, it *should* run update-menus so that the non-Gnome window managers get updated menu files. Gutsy, it seems, does not do this. How do I make it do this?
[23:24] <schiste> PurpZeY what's the package name ?
[23:24] <mwe> creature: the kde menus are updated here
[23:24] <daedra> Dr_willis_: made the wiki change
[23:24] <bascule> !info kmilo
[23:24] <ubotu> kmilo (source: kdeutils): laptop special keys support for KDE. In component main, is optional. Version 4:3.5.8-0ubuntu1 (gutsy), package size 66 kB, installed size 240 kB
[23:24] <debatem1> syntaxerror55: yeah, we have a client where we were able to free them from all but one windows install, but they had to have the one for flash dev. i was really hoping uira was going to work out
[23:24] <daedra> !framebuffer
[23:24] <ubotu> Information about changing your framebuffer modes in GRUB can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FrameBuffer#grub
[23:24] <creature> mwe: Well, I'm using Fluxbox, so that's nice to know but not a lot of use to me. :)
[23:25] <mwe> creature: I don't think fluxbox is supposed to display the debian menu entries
[23:25] <riotkittie> creature: open a term and type sudo update-menus
[23:26] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: anyway, I hope you find someone to donate to. I can't honestly say the Ubuntu project is in big need of donations.
[23:26] <creature> riotkittie: Yes, that's how I do it by hand. As I say, I want it to do it automatically after I install some softwrae.
[23:26] <PurpZeY> schiste: I don't know that it's a package. . .I'm not sure, I actually just used a script to control brightness when battery power is being used...It came off the forums.
[23:26] <debatem1> syntaxerror55: the absence of a 'donate' button on the page kind of clued us in on that one lol
[23:26] <wwalker> what is the proper way to set something to start automatically at login (like pidgin)
[23:26] <mwe> creature: are you sure it's supposed to display the menu-xdg entries?
[23:27] <syntaxerror55> debatem1: lol
[23:27] <creature> mwe: I don't know. I'm presuming so.
[23:27] <PurpZeY> wwalker: Sys --> Pref --> Session
[23:27] <creature> mwe: As long as I get a menu that's aligned with what I've got installed, I don't much mind where it's sourced from.
[23:28] <christian_> hello
[23:28] <Achoth_> Yo
[23:28] <mwe> creature: my point is I'm not sure it's supposed to update :) some wms have a debian submenu that shows those
[23:28] <mcphail> debatem1: your company could help people move away from Acrobat (hence windows) by supporting gnupdf. Linux does not support pdf standards properly. But we should maybe move this to offtopic
[23:28] <creature> mwe: I'm pretty sure it is meant to update.
[23:29] <mwe> maybe
[23:29] <creature> mwe: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fluxbox#head-bbb787a59ce5927dd5a6c38d0732e3feb341b115 suggests so.
[23:29] <creature> "That include thing pulls in the file generated in /etc/fluxbox. Its generated by the Debian Menu package (for which you need the menu package) and if thats installed before Fluxbox is, it will automatically be put in the menufile. "
[23:30] <riotkittie> flux under gutsy is wonky though
[23:30]  * Pelo notices InspectorCluseau  and decides to hide all the brakables
[23:30] <wwalker> PurpZeY: thanks
[23:30] <debatem1> mcphail: honestly, the prevalence of pdf support in linux has reached a point where we don't particularly worry about it. i suppose thats a bad way to justify your spending- no cash for you, you were too successful- but i imagine that is probably how this is going to go
[23:30] <creature> riotkittie: I would like to unwonk it.
[23:30] <_hakon_> how do i navigate to a directory in terminal?
[23:30] <volk> cd
[23:31] <Pelo> _hakon_, cd /whereever
[23:31] <Darkmystere> Is there a way to Format My windows Partion Back to NTFS  So i can Reinstall Windows? Im keeping Ubuntu but i want to format windows so ubuntu will get more room
[23:31] <matisse> How do I edit the size of the bash command history ?
[23:31] <pieisgood> So... do any of you use an xbox controller with ubuntu?
[23:31] <Pelo> _hakon_,  you may find this informative  http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php
[23:31] <daedra> mmm pieisgood
[23:31] <un0p> matisse, the %HISTSIZE variable
[23:31] <un0p> sorry, $HISTSIZE
[23:32] <mwe> creature: it's a pretty long howto :) did you do all that?
[23:32] <pieisgood> daedre: that's nice... but seriously I'd like to use one with my computer
[23:32] <nonXero> greetings.
[23:33] <agsimeonov> Hello
[23:33] <creature> mwe: I didn't. I've got a pre-existing Fluxbox config in my home directory, so a lot of it was here already.
[23:33] <creature> I've just switched from Debian to Ubuntu, although the less said about that the better.
[23:33] <mwe> I see
[23:33] <DarthSOup> hello
[23:33] <un0p> mwe, I used menumaker to regenerate my fluxbox menu -- it seems to import pretty much anything and everything -- it might not be what you want tho
[23:33] <danand> un0p: add to /home/<USER>/.bashrc  export HISTSIZE=2000
[23:34] <cosmodad> creature: minority opinions are neglectable. :)
[23:34] <un0p> creature, let me guess -- debian packages are starting to get outdated? :)
[23:34] <un0p> danabad, aye
[23:34] <mwe> creature: well does the menu even get updated if you run the update-menus command manually?
[23:35] <un0p> mwe, yes by default, i think you can override that tho
[23:35] <creature> un0p: Two things, really. More updated software in Ubuntu, and having tried to get MythTV to work in Debian I decided that there had to be a better way, a way where not everything with the computer was a fight. I thought Ubuntu was that way.
[23:35] <jupiter> Hello, I have a problem with my wireless connection. I cant find a way to turn on the antenna of the laptop. when i press the button on the keyboard i just get an unknown keycode from dmesg. is there something i can do to turn it on?
[23:35] <_hakon_> so what exactly do i type to access desktop in terminall?
[23:35] <agsimeonov> MythTV does work in Ubuntu
[23:35] <creature> Then I spent 2 weeks triggering every single bloody bug in the alternative installer, bricking the PC a couple of times, and generally having to jump through just as many hoops as I would have with any other distro. But anyway. I now have a working, ish, distro.
[23:35] <bascule> !hotkeys
[23:35] <ubotu> Keyboard shortcuts can be set in System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts. If your multimedia keys don't work with that, try the 'keytouch' package, explained at http://keytouch.sourceforge.net - See !Keyboard for changing layouts
[23:35] <bascule> jupiter: ^
[23:35] <creature> mwe: Yes, it does get updated if I run the command myself.
[23:36] <un0p> creature, pretty much the same reason why i switched too
[23:36] <_hakon_> help!!!
[23:36] <mwe> creature: I see ...
[23:36] <soundray> jupiter: do you know what wireless chipset is used in your machine?
[23:36] <_hakon_> using 6.06
[23:36] <xomp_> could someone please assist me with installing Gutsy on my Dell Optiplex 320. I was able to pass on some modifiers to the LiveCD to boot and install it, now when I select Ubuntu from the Grub menu I'm left at a black screen with blinking cursor :(
[23:36] <Pelo> jupiter, try looking up the laptop's model in the forum maybe there is a recommendation there www.ubuntuforums.org or try general keywords to your problem if there is nothing specific about your model
[23:36] <PretoDuKaa> brasil
[23:36] <mwe> creature: I thought it was run automatically as well when installing something :|
[23:36] <schiste> Hey, does anyone knows what "modprobe snoy-laptop" do?
[23:37] <PretoDuKaa> ;quit
[23:37] <creature> mwe: I think it is meant to, but it does not.
[23:37] <Bilbo> quit
[23:37] <creature> schiste: It inserts the 'snoy-laptop' module into the kernel, although it's probably a type for 'sony'.
[23:37] <Pelo> schiste, load the module to run snoy-laptop , what ever that is
[23:37] <creature> typo, even.
[23:37] <Bilbo> :quit
[23:37] <ArthurArchnix> xomp hit Alt+F1, then login, then type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[23:37] <larryone> I cant connect to network on my new installation
[23:37] <mwe> creature: I must admit I haven't been on flux for about two years but IIRC it did by then
[23:37] <Bilbo> ;quit
[23:38] <soundray> schiste: it loads the module named snoy-laptop.ko. There's a better chance of sony-laptop.ko existing, though
[23:38] <larryone> I set it up the same as on this laptop, but with differrent ip address
[23:38] <creature> Bilbo: You want /quit.
[23:38] <larryone> but it wont connect
[23:38] <ompaul> HI ALL - I AM ABOUT TO UNBAN A LOT OF NICKS PLEASE WAIT 10 - 15 seconds
[23:38] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, I've tried that. Alt+F1 does nothing at the blinking cursor :(
[23:38] <masteroc> can anyone help me to patch my kernel for injection with the madwifi driver?
[23:38] <Pelo> !enter | larryone
[23:38] <ubotu> larryone: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[23:38] <mwe> creature: file a bug maybe, though it doesn't solve your problem right away
[23:38] <ompaul> There is going to be alot of scrolling
[23:38] <ArthurArchnix> xomp What about booting into recovery mode. Is that possible.
[23:38] <schiste> Thanks but I wanted to know what sony-laptop do ^_^"
[23:38] <schiste> Anyway I'm gonna try ^^
[23:38] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, recovery mode does the same black screen, blinking cursor bit :(
[23:38] <creature> mwe: Can I file a bug without having to set up a user account for anything?
[23:39] <soundray> schiste: are you on gutsy?
 it detects it as ipw2200
[23:39] <ompaul> Finished
[23:39]  * Pelo wonders why ompaul is so forgiving all of the sudden
[23:39] <mwe> creature: you need to register but it's really fast
[23:39] <ompaul> Pelo, you are mistaken
[23:39] <Pelo> ompaul,  oh, it's just so you can ban them again ?
[23:39] <ompaul> no
[23:39] <bascule> ompaul: guess you don't use a bot ban with auto timeout then :)

[23:39] <ompaul> bascule, well we might but then again we might not
[23:39] <ArthurArchnix> xomp When booting, have you tried hitting 'e' on the normal boot option, and removing the 'splash' and 'quiet' options from the kernel boot line?
 it seems that there isnt a way to set a shortcut for the wireless antenna
[23:40] <pieisgood> So... I have a problem, can some one help me?
[23:40] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, not yet, let me try that :)
[23:40] <debatem1> i missed something
[23:40] <Pelo> pieisgood, we need to knwo the problem befor we can do something about it
[23:40] <soundray> schiste: if you install linux-doc-2.6.22, you can look it up in /usr/share/doc/linux-doc-2.6.22/Documentation/sony-laptop.txt.gz -- alternatively, find that file on the web
 i have already tried that, but fujitsu siemens is not a very popular brand :)
[23:40] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, same thing :S it's not booting.
[23:41] <larryone> Hi, I have 2 very similar laptops, both with 7.10 installs, but only one will connect to my wireless network. can anyone help me?

[23:44] <agsimeonov> nmradar: the scroll button on your mouse
 and you can use the button to turn on the antenna?
[23:44] <nmradar> nothing
[23:44] <the7thmagus> @piesgood: even Windows cannot run the wireless controller. use a wired
[23:44] <viv145> know me to configure it
[23:44] <agsimeonov> nmradar: How many Desktops do you have set?
[23:44] <pieisgood> Crap
[23:44] <Bo1> nmrader: have u got rotate cube plu gin enabled aswell as the desktop cube plugin?
[23:44] <creature> mwe: I was hoping there was a post-install-hook or similar for apt so I could just make it run the command after I've installed something. :|
[23:44] <ArthurArchnix> xomp Could be a problem with the grub setup. Maybe start up the live cd, mount the disk, post the output of cat /path/2mounted/disc/boot/grub/menu.lst and also of sudo fdisk -l
[23:45] <agsimeonov> nmradar: indeed you do have to enable rotate cube as well
[23:45] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, I don't know how to mount the disk :( I'm a noob
[23:45] <nmradar> ah! I just enabled rotate cube as well....
[23:45] <nmradar> there we go!
[23:45] <the7thmagus> actually, I am wrong. Windows can use the wireless controller, but only with the use of a receiver dongle
[23:45] <danand> pieisgood: :-[
[23:45] <neeto> pieisgood: yeah, I was pissed when I found that out, make sure if you do get a wired controller, that it's a 'wired 360 controller FOR WINDOWS' otherwise, even the wired controller won't work
[23:45] <nmradar> that's much better. thanks!
[23:45] <mwe> creature: yeah. maybe there is
[23:45] <agsimeonov> nmradar: Compiz is sweet
[23:45] <soundray> jupiter: well, to be precise, it turns on and off the radio, not the antenna, which is a passive device
[23:46] <nmradar> yeah. definitely
[23:46] <ArthurArchnix> xomp the live cd may mount it automatically.  I'm not sure. You can open up nautilus and see if it has been.
[23:46] <nmradar> I love the wobbly windows
[23:46] <pieisgood> Neeto: thanks... I think i'll just go cry about this for a little while lol
[23:46] <ArthurArchnix> xomp are you on the live cd now?
[23:46] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, ok, I'm booting the live CD now, I have to pass on the boot modifier of "hpet=disable" in order for it to boot hehe
[23:46] <agsimeonov> nmradar: The thing I enjoy the most are the themes through Emerald
[23:46] <the7thmagus> I recently deleted an existing NTFS partition and replaced it with an ext3 partition. now fdisk -l returns empty (everything mounts fine though). how can I get it to list all my partitions?
[23:46] <neeto> haha pieisgood, yeah... leave it to microsoft to make everyone mad. No wonder we all switched.
[23:46] <Jack_Sparrow> masteroc: I thought that was already in the repos and didnt need anything special..
[23:46] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, nope, I'm on my laptop which also has Gutsy installed :)
[23:47] <soundray> the7thmagus: call it with sudo
[23:47] <mwe> creature: there is a DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs, so probably a DPkg::Post-Install-Pkgs as well
 ok, i stand corrected... but it seems i have to look for the problem somewhere else. Thanks
[23:47] <the7thmagus> @soundray: ah, good old sudo. thank you, it worked
[23:47] <Jack_Sparrow> xomp_: Where did you find that boot modifier?
[23:48] <nmradar> asimeonov: I've installed one theme so far, but I'm probably gonna change it. I don't really like it that much.... Do you have a good recommendation?
[23:48] <soundray> jupiter: if you have a not-so-uncommon laptop, you'll probably find a few helpful installation reports on tuxmobil.org
[23:48] <creature> Can I set up a password for sudo/root that's different to my user account password? If so, how?
[23:48] <masteroc> neeto: i am using an atheros chipset
[23:48] <neeto> has anyone gotten wallpapoz to work with xompiz?
[23:48] <xomp_> Jack_Sparrow, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-source-2.6.22/+bug/138305
[23:48] <Jack_Sparrow> thanks
[23:48] <masteroc> neeto: ive been looking and im really confused with what i have to do
[23:48] <xomp_> np
[23:48] <neeto> masteroc: atheros works native within aircrack, no?
[23:48] <xsfr> is there a package for  "boost ASIO" ?
[23:48] <soundray> creature: you can create an admin user and disable sudo for your present user
[23:48] <masteroc> neeto: no, you need the madwifi drivers
[23:48] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, I'm in the live cd now, you say start up nautilus?
[23:48] <danand> creature: Apparently thats NOT recommended
[23:49] <creature> soundray: I like being able to type sudo whatever and it does it, but I'd like to use a different password.
[23:49] <ArthurArchnix> xomp yeah. Let's see if it mounted your disc automatically.
[23:49] <neeto> hmm... I dunno, I got my atheros card working using airsnort and aircrack
[23:49] <Antoine> guten morgen! was macht denn der befehl sudo m-a a-i
[23:49] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, I see all my disks :)
[23:49] <creature> My thinking here is "If someone sniffs my user account password, they don't take over my entire PC."

[23:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about bbs - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[23:50] <Darkmystere> to format in ntfs?
[23:50] <soundray> creature: I can't think of a way to achieve that
[23:50] <ArthurArchnix> xomp see above
[23:50] <agsimeonov> nmradar: also I really like this http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Glass+Panel?content=46587
[23:51] <LjL> noelferreira: yes, but currently i think you need Windows to set up the account (since it has to be set up from their own program). after it's set up, however, you can just use any SIP client
[23:51] <danand> creature: Just a suggestion - not too sure about it - perhaps remove admin group from your everyday account - create new user for administration
[23:51] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, ok, I have the menu.lst open now
[23:51] <Shadow147> Darkmystere I would suggest u use gparted
[23:51] <neeto> masteroc: yes, but that was a couple years ago... I'm not sure what you're running into. All I remember is that it was a pain in the ass to get working... but don't get discouraged.
[23:51] <Darkmystere> I am using gparted when i click format as it doesnt light up ntfs
[23:51] <Darkmystere> just fat32 and another fat and ext3 and ext2
[23:51] <LjL> noelferreira: of course you can possibly use WINE for that
[23:51] <danand> creature: Create the new account 1st !!
[23:51] <Darkmystere> i tried formatting to ext3 but it still doesnt have the option
[23:52] <ArthurArchnix> Scroll down to where it shows the ubuntu kernel line, what does it say "root (0,0)"... or what are those numbers? Not zeros?
[23:52] <creature> danand: Good tip. :)
[23:52] <Shadow147> Darkmystere well format to fat32 then to ntfs
[23:52] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, it says "root (hd0,1)"
[23:52] <Varon_Gitano> hi everyone
[23:52] <Shadow147> Darkmystere see if that works
[23:53] <xsfr> is there a package for "boost ASIO" ?
[23:53] <noelferreira> LjL i read something about using ekiga. i really don't like wine:(
[23:53] <neeto> I want to be able to play call of duty on ubuntu, but punkbuster won't install in wine... is there a way to get around this?
[23:53] <Darkmystere> wow that was an offly fast reformat?
[23:53] <LjL> noelferreira, but i'm telling you that you'll only need to use WINE to *set up the account*, since that can only be done using their little program. you can forget about it afterwards.
[23:53] <ArthurArchnix> xomp, ok that means it's looking for the boot files on the first hard-drive and the second partition. Do you have windows or something? Post the output of "sudo fdisk -l"

[23:55] <bachstudies> I installed ntfs-config and now I don't seem to be able to unmount windows drives. Any advice?
[23:55] <caribe> pero quero saber como cambiar un kernel en ubunto
[23:55] <LjL> !es | caribe
[23:55] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, I can try to pastebin the exact thing if you'd like
[23:55] <ubotu> caribe: Si busca ayuda en español por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, allí obtendrá más ayuda.
[23:55] <xsfr> is there a package for "boost ASIO" ?
[23:55] <LjL> !kernel > caribe    (caribe, see the private message from Ubotu)
[23:55] <Darkmystere> it still doesnt let me format as ntfs
[23:55] <caribe> a un kernel pra un k7
[23:56] <soundray> Varon_Gitano: make sure (using synaptic, for example) that the package xserver-xorg-video-intel is installed
[23:56] <LjL> caribe: /join #ubuntu-es
[23:56] <Varon_Gitano> no, and i have been using 3d effects but i was installing beryl and now i cant use 3d effects anymore
[23:56] <ArthurArchnix> xomp ok. Everything looks real good. My next suspect is your bios. Try resetting it to defaults and rebooting. If that fails, trying going into bios and disabling anything that says "legacy".
[23:56] <Shadow147> bachstudies remove the ntfs-config then try to unmount
[23:56] <Varon_Gitano> and the video driver shows Vesa driver
[23:56] <bachstudies> Shadow147, will the drives still mount without it?
[23:56] <Johnson> anybody have the problem with not being to type in vncviewer.
[23:56] <Shadow147> bachstudies yea
[23:56] <Johnson> the texts fields aren't active for me frequently
[23:56] <bachstudies> thanks
[23:56] <Shadow147> bachstudies as long u have usbmount
[23:57] <bachstudies> Shadow147, I'll check
[23:57] <xomp_> ArthurArchnix, ok, one moment, here is the pastebin of my fdisk -l http://pastebin.com/m3989631d
[23:57] <Varon_Gitano> no, and i have been using 3d effects but i was installing beryl and now i cant use 3d effects anymore
[23:57] <Varon_Gitano> and the video driver shows Vesa driver
[23:57] <soundray> Varon_Gitano: go through the X setup with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg'. Say no to autodetection, select Intel on the second step, and accept the defaults for the rest of the configuration.
[23:57] <Varon_Gitano> ok
[23:57] <bachstudies> Shadow147, usbmount is currently not installed
[23:57] <Shadow147> bachstudies I have a External Drive thats NTFS and I didn't need the ntfs-config
[23:58] <bachstudies> Shadow147, the reason i installed ntfs-config was because of some HAL-storage error
[23:58] <Shadow147> bachstudies what type of drive internal or external
[23:58] <bachstudies> Shadow147, both
[23:58] <Shadow147> bachstudies hmm
[23:58] <larryone> wireless will not work on my broadcom card, and I dont have a wired network... what can I do?
[23:58] <michael132> Hello, I'm new to Ubuntu and I'm having trouble installing airsnort.  After typing in ./configure, I get an error: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[23:59] <xsfr> is there a package for "boost ASIO" ?
[23:59] <bascule> michael132: sudo apt-get install airsnort
[23:59] <creature> mwe: trying that now.
[23:59] <michael132> thanks ill try that
[23:59] <Shadow147> bachstudies I don't no about HAL-storage errors
[23:59] <LjL> michael132: why on earth are you trying to *compile* airsnort, when it is right there in the official repositories?
[23:59] <LjL> !software > michael132    (michael132, see the private message from Ubotu)
[23:59] <groundup> I keep trying to install 64bit Ubuntu on my AMD Turion 64 laptops and I can't get it to work. Right now it is saying that there is an error with the boot cd when I insert it. Is this due to me having 32bit on it right now?
[23:59] <ionstorm> cryptsetup question: I have Ubuntu Gutsy without cryptsetup on /dev/sda1, I have another gutsy install root encrypted on /deb/sdb1, how to I setup the grub on my normal Gutsy install to notice the encrypted volume and boot it?
[23:59] <bachstudies> Shadow147, like i say, ntfs-config worked its magic and the drives were instantly mounted and writable - I just want to be able to mount them manually with write access when i need them
[23:59] <soundray> michael132: don't compile from source. Familiarize yourself with how to install software on ubuntu (LjL sent you a useful link)
[23:59] <Varon_Gitano> Do i have to use the FRAMEBUFFER?
[23:59] <mwe> creature: leave out the single quotes, though :)
