[12:01] <null_> Hmm
[12:01] <null_> Can't you do a raw dump of the data
[12:01] <finsta> System locked up on a shutdown and had to force it off
[12:01] <finsta> How so?
[12:01] <null_> I know there's GetDataBack for Windows
[12:01] <finsta> Yes
[12:01] <null_> that I think just dumps the bytes

[12:02] <slick_> hi I'm trying to install ntfs-3g and using the guide at http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009 how do I know if I 'dapper' or 'edgy'?
[12:02] <Andune> Someone kick that retard please.
[12:02] <h3h_timo> hey guys, i have a camera phone, and i can use motorolas "mobile phone tools" software to upload music and pictures in windows, is there any alternative for linux?? could you point me in the right direction anyone??
[12:02] <Loonatic64> slick i have the same prob
[12:02] <Spartacus> Flannel, Edgy has only 3.3.3 in my Add/remove

[12:02] <Wooksta> how do i change my default run level to 3 so i start up in a console instead of X?
[12:02] <shatrat> adrian_, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[12:02] <Loonatic64> i am having difficulty mounting my NTFS partition
[12:02] <crimsun> slick_: 6.06 == dapper; 6.10 == edgy
[12:03] <Seveas> Wooksta, X starts in runlevel 2
[12:03] <Flannel> Spartacus: eh?   in the how-to
[12:04] <adrian_> shatrat: what do I type in?
[12:04] <Flannel> Cyrus25801: #ubuntu-effects for Beryl support
[12:04] <festr3> locks up at running local boot scripts (etc/rc.local)
[12:04] <mirf> glxinfo
[12:04] <Seveas> Wooksta, xubuntu uses gdm as well
[12:04] <finsta> So I'm wondering if maybe I could use something like e2salvage to get info back
[12:04] <PriceChild> billy, glxinfo | grep direct
[12:04] <Wooksta> seveas, ok thanks i'll give that a try
[12:05] <Andune> jowi:  yeah, well Windows likes it and I'm not ready to give it up on my game machine yet.  So for now Ubuntu has to co-exist, and ot do that, it has to play nice with fakeraid.
[12:05] <bulmer> Seveas do you happen to have a tutorial on how to get FreeNX working server/client  ? am getting stuck at placing the correct key where..
[12:05] <billy> Pricechild: thank you.
[12:05] <adrian_> shatrat: so I type in: cd ~/linuxdcpp?
[12:05] <shatrat> adrian_, tar -xzf linuxdcpp.tar.gz or you can just right click it in nautilus and extract here
[12:05] <shatrat> adrian_, do that once youve extracted the archive to create linuxdcpp. right now its compressed
[12:05] <Jowi> Andune, I was only joking. no need to defend yourself
[12:06] <Andune> which is proving frustratingly difficult to do  :(
[12:06] <Cyrus25801> PriceChild: im in the channel
[12:06] <ramza3> can I restart X to get changes to xorg.conf by logging out
[12:06] <Cyrus25801> #ubunt-effects
[12:06] <Spartacus> Flannel, okay, trying it now

[12:07] <robbie_crash> I have an issue with a bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo. When I first start up my machine, I have to immideately type something (ie my login) then my keyboard and mouse stop responding until I unplug and replug my bluetooth hub, then they work normally. It seems like I've got about 3 or 4 seconds to type before it stops responding, and if I don't, then it refuses to respond and I need to reboot
[12:07] <adrian_> shatrat: ok, now I have extarcted it by doubleklicking on it in my folder, whats's next?
[12:07] <Wooksta> to check for updates (new versions of installed programs) is it apt-get update or apt-get upgrade?
[12:07] <null_> update
[12:07] <PriceChild> Wooksta, one then the other
[12:07] <null_> o.o
[12:07] <Loonatic64> ok ive been to the forum, and am still a little confused.    how do i mount my NTFS drive in ubuntu?
[12:07] <null_> learn something new every day
[12:08] <null_> Loonatic64, for read and write support you must install ntfs-3g
[12:08] <Wooksta> PriceChild, in the order i just gave? :P
[12:08] <null_> Loonatic64, for read-only support, that's built in.
[12:08] <PriceChild> Wooksta, update refreshes your local package lists... upgrade attempts to use the lists to upgrade packages
[12:08] <PriceChild> Wooksta, yes
[12:08] <Jowi> jksigurd, you might have better luck with the alternate cd. it's not a live cd but generally works better on some hardware.
[12:08] <l2s> Anywhere to go for reasonably priced paid support for an ubuntu install
[12:08] <Gonzo> HOLA, ALGUIEN HABLA ESPAOL?
[12:08] <l2s> I just need to get this working
[12:08] <shatrat> adrian_, I think if you double click it it just shows you waht is in it? oh well, if you can "cd linuxdcpp" then youre ready to compile
[12:08] <Wooksta> PriceChild, ah ok cool
[12:08] <alienseer23> how do you include upgrades to update?
[12:08] <BigMac> Seveas:Did you get my pm?
[12:08] <l2s> I can paypal
[12:09] <robbie_crash> Loonatic64: but ntfs write support is iffy at best. you can break your whole drive with write support. Read is fine though.
[12:09] <null_> l2s, how difficult?
[12:09] <null_> robbie_crash, that is incorrect.
[12:09] <Loonatic64> ya all i want is read
[12:09] <adrian_> shatrat: I have extraced it in my default folder

[12:09] <jake222> I need help setting up my xorg.conf so that i can install 2 monitors, monitor 1 is a tv and its own x server, and monitor 2 as dvi and its own xserver. I have tried to do what it tells me online but it wont work, please if i pastbien my original xconfig, will you add and take away the needed stuff to make it work
[12:09] <ubotu> l2s: For your support options, see http://www.ubuntu.com/support For IRC support, join #ubuntu / #kubuntu / #xubuntu etc
[12:09] <null_> robbie_crash, ntfs-3g developers insist they have experienced no data loss in their development so far.
[12:09] <jksigurd> Jowi: can I still use gparted to set up my partitions with the alternate CD?
[12:09] <Loonatic64> i can read my fat32 but cannot read my NTFS
[12:09] <l2s> have a 3ware raid card 2 port ide, i installed ubuntu 6.06 server, i get this error and it stops booting at Running Local Boot Scripts (etc/rc.local)
[12:09] <alienseer23> I want to upgrade a system from dapper to edgy, how do I install the upgrade without cd?
[12:09] <Flannel> l2s: Try the alternate CD, it has some additional HW support from the server CD.  You can do a "server" install from there (that has no GUI), and then install lamp manually
[12:09] <Flannel> !upgrade | alienseer23
[12:09] <ubotu> alienseer23: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[12:09] <F00> hey
[12:09] <Gonzo> HOLAAAAAAAAAAAA
[12:09] <shatrat> adrian_, ok great, cd into that directory now and then run "sudo scons" and it will compile for you.  A whole bunch of stuff will fly up the terminal and you can feel like pro software expert.
[12:10] <Flannel> !es | Gonzo
[12:10] <ubotu> Gonzo: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[12:10] <null_> Loonatic64, NTFS is a screwed-up filesystem and you may have trouble reading/writing to it if the drive needs to be booted in Windows.  sometimes, twice!  i recommend installing ntfs-3g for much better support
[12:10] <Jowi> jksigurd, not gparted since the alternate cd is text based install. but it has got a very good partitioner in it.
[12:10] <l2s> sigh
[12:10] <robbie_crash> null_ that's the first I've heard of anyone saying that ntfs support is safe to use
[12:10] <jake222> I need help setting up my xorg.conf so that i can install 2 monitors, monitor 1 is a tv and its own x server, and monitor 2 as dvi and its own xserver.

[12:10] <Gonzo> THANKS
[12:10] <Flannel> F00: Install "build-essential"
[12:10] <Loonatic64> ok how do i install ntfs-3g?
[12:10] <shatrat> adrian_, by the way, im running it right now. ;D
[12:10] <adrian_> shatrat: i typed in "cd ~/linuxdcpp" and the result was ":~/linuxdcpp$", now what?
[12:10] <Kazz> Does anyone here know much about EVMS?
[12:10] <h3h_timo> bulmer, i think i found something, do you know how to compile from svn?
[12:10] <shatrat> adrian_, sudo scons

[12:11] <arooni> how can i test if my audio recording works
[12:11] <Cyrus25801> PriceChild: are there any other graphical goodies i can use on dapper
[12:11] <Flannel> F00: Do you have internet?  did you add an "s"
[12:11] <arooni> meaning i can record audio or not...?
[12:11] <shatrat> adrian_, i need to go cook, so I might not respond imediately if you mssage me, you might want to go to #shatrat for further questions
[12:11] <kbrooks> jake222, maybe.
[12:11] <bulmer> h3h_timo: if you download the source with a Makefile, its not too difficult to compile it
[12:11] <adrian_> shatrat: result: "sudo scons command not found"?
[12:12] <F00> yes i have internet and i typed sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:12] <adrian_> #shatrat
[12:12] <dimeotane> arooni: plug in a mic and try the soundrecorder under sound and video
[12:12] <null_> Loonatic64, you'll then want to follow these instructions for usage:  http://www.ntfs-3g.org/index.html#installation
[12:12] <Flannel> F00: And you install other software without any issues?
[12:12] <F00> new ubuntu install

[12:14] <ubotu> madsrh: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[12:15] <Tangee> can you change the default xgl startup screen (the dodgy old s xerver one with the grey 'x' pointer)
[12:15] <bulmer> h3h_timo: whats svn again?
[12:15] <crimsun> arooni: so you need to select the proper element to capture. Have you followed wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingSoundProblems ?
[12:15] <wolferine> is ubuntu based on debian?
[12:15] <crimsun> wolferine: yes
[12:15] <h3h_timo> bulmer, subversion or whatever
[12:15] <bruenig> wolferine, yes
[12:15] <dimeotane> crimsun: nice... never seen that before
[12:15] <arooni> oh shoot
[12:15] <h3h_timo> bulmer, i think its where the newest source is
[12:15] <wolferine> ah, didnt realize that
[12:15] <bulmer> h3h_timo: not matter what, you must download the source
[12:15] <arooni> it works!!!
[12:15] <arooni> i changed it to OSS
[12:15] <wolferine> so I cannot install rpms?
[12:15] <bulmer> h3h_timo: and then compile
[12:15] <bruenig> oss is crap
[12:15] <jake222> OK to the forums
[12:15] <LadyNikon> wolferine: why would you want rpms?
[12:16] <arooni> bruenig: what should i use instead
[12:16] <bulmer> wolferine: there is alien to convert rpm to deb
[12:16] <h3h_timo> bulmer, will you look at these steps http://moto4lin.sourceforge.net/wiki/CVS_Installation and try to help me with it?
[12:16] <wolferine> what if I wanted Netbeans
[12:16] <bruenig> !alien
[12:16] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[12:16] <Thms> is there other things like vnc or freenx ?
[12:16] <dimeotane> arooni: a few machines have no recording.. it's broken.. use what you can =p
[12:16] <tieTYT2> hello I'm using this program to download things and it puts a .dctmp extention on files that are currently being downloaded.  I don't know what I did but now every time I click on them it opens up a warning saying something like, "this is really an avi file even though it has a dctmp extension.  It may be a security risk" and forces me to click the cancel button.  It never gave me this warning before.  How do I get it to just open this file
[12:16] <bulmer> wolferine: thats java eh?
[12:17] <wolferine> java is always an issue with linux, isnt it?
[12:17] <Flannel> wolferine: nope, java is in the repos
[12:17] <Flannel> !java | wolferine
[12:17] <ubotu> wolferine: To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java - For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository. Enable the backports repository on Edgy to install sun-java6-jre
[12:17] <wolferine> javac isnt
[12:17] <tieTYT2> Flannel: that's not the latest
[12:17] <bulmer> wolferine: nope, not that i know of
[12:17] <bruenig> wolferine, if sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre is a problem
[12:17] <wolferine> so, all go back, can you install rpms in ubuntu, for example Netbeans?
[12:18] <Flannel> wolferine: help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[12:18] <tieTYT2> wolferine: hassle wise, what's the difference between linux and windows for java?
[12:18] <bruenig> wolferine, netbeans comes in a .bin why don't you just use that
[12:18] <bulmer> h3h_timo: what happens when you followed those instructs? where do you get stucked?
[12:18] <h3h_timo> bulmer, i can do the first step, thats it
[12:18] <mirf> does anyone know what module I need to load to use fuji camera as a webcam?
[12:18] <bruenig> wolferine, do this: wget http://us1.mirror.netbeans.org/download/5_5/mlfcs/200612070100/netbeans-5_5-linux.bin && chmod +x netbeans-5_5-linux.bin && sudo ./netbeans-5_5-linux.bin
[12:18] <Flannel> tieTYT2: right, And neither is any of the other software in ubuntu, why is Java somehow a problem?
[12:19] <wolferine> wget as su?
[12:19] <tieTYT2> Flannel: you talking about the latest version of things?  Well java 6 is faster
[12:19] <bulmer> h3h_timo: just to download or starting using qmake?
[12:19] <p47> how can I install microsoft fonts on ubuntu _
[12:19] <p47> ?
[12:19] <bruenig> wolferine, no don't wget as su, just wget
[12:19] <bruenig> !sudo | wolferine
[12:19] <ubotu> wolferine: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[12:20] <wolferine> k, thank you
[12:20] <h3h_timo> no, when i have to type the cvs command
[12:20] <h3h_timo> bulmer, okay im past that part
[12:20] <wolferine> back to reading
[12:20] <tieTYT2> it also lets you run things compiled in version 1.6
[12:20] <tieTYT2> which getting 1.5 won't let you do
[12:20] <bulmer> h3h_timo: so which command you are getting stucked at?
[12:20] <bruenig> wolferine, basically here is what that says, there is no su, if you want to run something as root you just do "sudo command"
[12:20] <tieTYT2> anyway i have my own problem: hello I'm using this program to download things and it puts a .dctmp extention on files that are currently being downloaded.  I don't know what I did but now every time I click on them it opens up a warning saying something like, "this is really an avi file even though it has a dctmp extension.  It may be a security risk" and forces me to click the cancel button.  It never gave me this warning before.  How do I
[12:21] <wolferine> im just use to Madnriva
[12:21] <wolferine> so writing su instead of sudo is just less keys :)
[12:21] <slicslak> so.... does my box know about the new time change tomorrow?  (being as it is different than previous years)
[12:21] <h3h_timo> bulmer, now i need to install qmake
[12:21] <Flannel> tieTYT2: Both Dapper and Edgy have java6 in the repos
[12:21] <h3h_timo> what is the package name for that?
[12:21] <liex26> ubuntu cd loads but the screen is mirrored and overlapping

[12:21] <bulmer> h3h_timo: then install it, what are you waiting for?  :)
[12:21] <liex26> makes it difficult to read... anyone know how to fix this?

[12:24] <robbie_crash> how did you get it to show up in the first place auraithx?
[12:24] <bruenig> !info bluez-utils
[12:24] <ubotu> bluez-utils: Bluetooth tools and daemons. In component main, is optional. Version 3.7-1ubuntu4 (edgy), package size 260 kB, installed size 788 kB
[12:24] <auraithx> it was on the desktop when I Installed ubuntu
[12:24] <Savage-{> thx
[12:24] <rwxr-xr--> Where i can download the eChat client?
[12:25] <murph2481> how do i add a keyboard shortcut for gnome-terminal?
[12:25] <auraithx> and now it's just showing as a blank folder in media/hdb1
[12:25] <liex26> nobody knows this issue , does same thing with kubuntu disk
[12:25] <eck> murph2481: system > preferences > keyboard shortcuts
[12:25] <murph2481> haha i dumb thanks eck
[12:25] <timthelion> hey,  I have ubuntu edgy on this computer, and a laptop runnig debian sid.
[12:26] <timthelion> I have an ethernet card on both
[12:26] <khaije> i have a question may be OT...
[12:26] <bruenig> rwxr-xr--, http://echat.deep.perm.ru/
[12:26] <slavik> !ask
[12:26] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:26] <timthelion> I want to make the two connected
[12:26] <timthelion> so I can do vnc
[12:26] <Aarohi> hey how do i make all the users access the drives mounted by fstab?
[12:26] <slavik> timthelion: ad-hoc?
[12:26] <timthelion> slavik I guess.
[12:26] <AVN`> how do I add  a  screen resolution, mine is too small
[12:26] <timthelion> slavik I just want my ubuntu comp to have an ip on the laptop
[12:26] <vik> Hello.
[12:27] <slavik> timthelion: you need a crossover cable for starters
[12:27] <ramza3> if I make a change to xorg.conf, how can I reload the changes (log out?)
[12:27] <khaije> i'm looking to buy a new tablet and am not sure how to verify which parts of all the bells and whistles will work w/ ubuntu, for example, the HDD accelorameter protector... any ideas?
[12:27] <BeepAU> does anyone here have the MCP51 chipset?
[12:27] <slavik> timthelion: you have to set IPs manually
[12:27] <timthelion> slavik, I do? with ethernet?
[12:27] <jrib> ramza3: log out, press ctrl-alt-backspace
[12:27] <Aarohi> hey how do i make all the users access the drives mounted by fstab?
[12:27] <ramza3> jrib, what is ctrl-alt-backspace ?
[12:27] <slavik> timthelion: computer to computer calls for a crossover ethernet cable, not straight like you would towards a router ...
[12:27] <l2s> ALmost totally standard hardware and it wont boot
[12:27] <jrib> ramza3: restarts X
[12:27] <eck> generally you don't need crossover cable for modern ethernet cards, regular ethernet cable will do
[12:27] <eck> the nic will figure it out
[12:27] <timthelion> oh, why?
[12:28] <slavik> eck: not all NICs are smart ;)
[12:28] <AVN`> how do I change my screen resolution?
[12:28] <slavik> eck: I was also no aware that NICs can do it ...
[12:28] <Aarohi> eck, you need crossover cables if similar devices are being paired... ie.. pc with pc.
[12:28] <eck> it's just a reordering of the pins, my understanding is that most (modern) nics will know how to do this
[12:29] <wolferine> bruenig: worked all fine, until it found there is no JDK installed
[12:29] <slavik> eck: 'most' and 'modern' are not exact terms ;)
[12:29] <Megaqwerty> can I write a tar file to an ntfs partition using ntfs-3g?
[12:29] <crimsun> Megaqwerty: you can write whatever you want if you use ntfs-3g
[12:29] <slavik> Megaqwerty: you can write anything to ntfs with ntfs-3g :)
[12:29] <bruenig> wolferine, sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jdk
[12:29] <timthelion> well, anyway, when I installed dhcp3-server
[12:29] <timthelion> it said it failed to start
[12:29] <Megaqwerty> W007!
[12:29] <Aarohi> how do i make all the users access the drives mounted by fstab?
[12:29] <timthelion> but I cannot find a more verbose error message
[12:29] <Aarohi> anyone?
[12:29] <bruenig> wolferine, or java5 if you want, nothing much has been said about java6 so I don't know how great it is
[12:29] <slavik> Megaqwerty: it's "w00t!" ...
[12:30] <bruenig> !1337
[12:30] <ubotu> 1337 i5 nigh-inc0mpr3h3n5ib13 70 u5 n00bs, 4nd n0b0dy c4r35 if UR 4 1337 h4x0r. Giv3 i7 4 r357.
[12:30] <slavik> :D
[12:30] <wolferine> so, can you not do sudo apt-get install java, and it searches for any java it fins?
[12:30] <h3h_timo> bulmer, i cant use qmake
[12:30] <h3h_timo> i dont know how to run it
[12:30] <wolferine> or do you use something other than "install" ?
[12:30] <bruenig> wolferine, no you can't believe me that would be a bad idea
[12:30] <vik> I have a problem. I just loaded the i386 version of ubuntu. It loads all the way up to the splash screen as soon as the splash screen is dont it shows a cursor in the top left of the screen for 1-2 seconds and then hangs. I have ZERO linux experience. I am trying to learn but can't even get it to load!!!!!! I've searched all over and can't seem to find an answer. What do I do?!?!
[12:31] <bruenig> wolferine, if you just want to search you can do apt-cache search java
[12:31] <bulmer> h3h_timo: i'll be back shortly..
[12:31] <wolferine> i dont even see sun-java-*** listed
[12:31] <murph2481> now that i have desktop effects enabled how do i do that cube desktop switch thing?
[12:31] <slavik> vik: what type of mouse? have you tried booting to single user mode and running 'startx' ?
[12:32] <AVN`> how do i compare too files?
[12:32] <slavik> murph2481: ctrl+alt+mb1 and move the mouse :)
[12:32] <timthelion> so I need a crossover cable, that's the dumbest thing I've heard all week
[12:32] <slavik> AVN`: man diff
[12:32] <h3h_timo> does anyone know how to install qmake??
[12:32] <vik> slavik: umm, i am using the touchpad on the machine
[12:32] <murph2481> slavik mbl?
[12:32] <slavik> timthelion: blame Xerox PARC :)
[12:32] <wolferine> do I need to setup my repos. better?
[12:32] <vik> slavik: what is startx?
[12:32] <slavik> murph2481: Mosue Button 1
[12:32] <wolferine> so I can search more locations?
[12:32] <slavik> vik: a script that starts the GUI :)
[12:33] <slavik> !repos > wolferine
[12:33] <murph2481> slavik nope nothin....
[12:33] <vik> slavik: oh, how do i do that?
[12:33] <murph2481> cntl alt arrow changes desktops but no cool effect
[12:34] <slavik> vik: 1sec
[12:34] <wolferine> so THAT is what I need to do, to get java?
[12:34] <vik> slavik: k thanks
[12:34] <slavik> murph2481: hold the mouse button down ...
[12:34] <wolferine> setup the repos?
[12:34] <slavik> vik: when you boot up, the GRUB menu is displayed with options, correct?
[12:34] <dxdt> wolferine, to get java it is like sudo apt-get install java but setting up the repos is pretty easy.  Once you do it once you never need to again and you can do it manually or graphically using Synaptic
[12:34] <murph2481> slavik nope nothin...
[12:34] <slavik> vik: or something like 'press Esc to enter GRUB menu' or some such
[12:35] <slavik> murph2481: what card and driver?
[12:35] <wolferine> so, since its not listed in apt-cache search java, then I have to setup my repos differently?
[12:35] <wolferine> also, can I add in a cooker repos?
[12:35] <murph2481> ? dell laptop and just running fiesty fawn didn't change anything just saw the new option for desktop effects
[12:35] <vik> slavik: yep, it says: ***** kernel 10. something, then *****kernel 10.something (recovery), then windows xp
[12:36] <slavik> the recovery one
[12:36] <rwxr-xr--> When i try to Run ./configure its give me error "checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables "
[12:36] <slavik> murph2481: /join #ubuntu+1 :)
[12:36] <murph2481> slavik the windows effects and stuff work...just not the desktop switching
[12:36] <slavik> murph2481: /join #ubuntu+1 :)
[12:36] <wo1ferine> !easyresource
[12:36] <slavik> !feisty
[12:36] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about easyresource - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:36] <timthelion> slavik, if I am doing PC to PC but the ubuntu box is a router, than it should not matter. the only problem I think is making the ubuntu box into a router.
[12:36] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha.

[12:37] <Marupa> Anyone here deal with video capture devices?
[12:37] <timthelion> I need to have more verbose error messages on why dhcp3 is failing to start though
[12:37] <nalioth> wo1ferine: did you mean to /msg ubotu easysource  ?
[12:37] <wo1ferine> sure
[12:37] <wo1ferine> lets try that
[12:37] <slavik> timthelion: try a reg cable, if it doesn't work, don't blame me, someone already stated a reason for using crossover cable
[12:38] <Stormx2> are there any minimum specs for beryl?
[12:38] <pwnzorz> hi, i'm installing wubi!
[12:38] <Marupa> pretty much 1Ghz/32MB ram vcard.
[12:38] <slavik> vik: did you get to the point where it prints something like "root@blah$" ???
[12:38] <dxdt> wolferine, to add repos, the easiest way, though not the only way, is to go into Synaptic under System >> Admistration >> Synaptic.   See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[12:38] <rwxr-xr--> When i try to Run ./configure its give me error "checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables "
[12:38] <pwnzorz> does wubi install in windows environment?
[12:39] <PriceChild> Stormx2, wolferine #ubuntu-effects please
[12:39] <ant> #ubuntu-effects
[12:39] <wo1ferine> just a yes or no would suffice
[12:39] <Stormx2> sorreh PriceChild
[12:39] <khaije> !wubi
[12:39] <pwnzorz> !wubi
[12:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wubi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:39] <pwnzorz> ....he dont know... :*(
[12:39] <PriceChild> No need to be sorry Stormx2 :)
[12:39] <khaije> pwnzorz: ya i dont know what that is either
[12:40] <ant> Stormx2 : your liable to get more/better answers there
[12:40] <vik> slavik: Actually i have to reboot to try that let me get on IRC on my other machine. brb
[12:40] <pwnzorz> i do, its an installer for ubuntu that runs in windows j=)
[12:40] <dxdt> wolferine, I'm not sure personally whether it is in "backports" or not, but you can get it from repos.  I use the SVN repo for it.  In the next Ubuntu release  the 3d graphics stuff, though not Beryl--compiz, will be included but not on by default.
[12:40] <tomaszr> vnv
[12:40] <F00> where can i get VNC

[12:40] <pwnzorz> yes...
[12:40] <tomaszr> cbn
[12:40] <F00> apt-get doesnt find anything
[12:40] <Stormx2> ant: Well yeah. I was more curious than anything else... I've tried installing it a few times but it always broke my x server. Tis all.
[12:41] <Marupa> F00, apt-cache search vnc

[12:41] <khaije> pwnzorz: whats the use of such a thing?
[12:41] <ant> Stormx2 : i've heard that a lot
[12:41] <xamox> Why would mysql Adminstrator (GUI) keep locking up when goign to the user create tab?
[12:41] <pwnzorz> khaije: to make it easier for the average computer user to switch...
[12:41] <kaktus> Hi! I need some help on the way of an linux installation. Can someone please help me?
[12:41] <Marupa> kaktus, How so?
[12:41] <ant> Stormx2 : and people still laugh at me for using enlightenment
[12:41] <Stormx2> kaktus: Go ahead.
[12:42] <Stormx2> ant: I've used enlightenment on a livecd, but found it more annoying than functional
[12:42] <pwnzorz> im using wubi now, its kind of  slow, it uses bittorrent to grab the image from the web...
[12:42] <dragonriot> can any of you guys point me to where I might find a forum thread about using the debian kernel repositories for 2.6.20 kernel upgrade on Edgy?
[12:42] <kaktus> I have an external disk which has 320GB capacity. I run windows XP and want to take backup to the external disk so that I can use those files in Ubuntu
[12:42] <ShakaGoldSaint> !ssh
[12:42] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[12:43] <rwxr-xr--> When i try to Run ./configure its give me error "checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables " what should i do? how to compile it
[12:43] <Marupa> kaktus, Why not just mount the NTFS partition?
[12:43] <F00> hmm
[12:43] <F00> now how do i start vnc
[12:43] <PriceChild> dragonriot, why do you want to upgrade the kernel?
[12:43] <greg> i lost my trash icon anyone know how to get it back??
[12:43] <kaktus> The problem is that windows won't let me format in to FAT32 because the partition would be bigger than 32GB
[12:43] <Flannel> greg: right click the panel > Add to Panel
[12:43] <pwnzorz> how do you guys get vnc to go over the web...
[12:43] <PriceChild> greg, right click>add to panel
[12:43] <slavik> greg: it's an applet, add it to a panel :)
[12:43] <Marupa> greg:  right click the bar, click add to panel.
[12:44] <Flannel> pwnzorz: ssh tunneling, usually
[12:44] <Stormx2> kaktus: So format it to another filesystem? FAT32 is pretty old and bad...
[12:44] <dragonriot> PriceChild, I've heard that ATI cards run better with 2.6.20 and beryl than 2.6.17-xx
[12:44] <kaktus> I need to be able to write to the  external disk in linux
[12:44] <wolferine> thx dxdt
[12:44] <pwnzorz> so no port forwarding?
[12:44] <dragonriot> PriceChild, would I be incorrect?
[12:44] <Tangee> offtopic but does anyone know why i got reverse caps lock?
[12:44] <F00> now how do i start vnc
[12:44] <bulmer> kaktus: you can resize it and then let ubuntu use the remainder
[12:44] <PriceChild> dragonriot, not a clue why the kernel would make a difference
[12:44] <dragonriot> no idea either...
[12:44] <Stormx2> Tangee: explain.
[12:44] <dxdt> Tangee, whoa
[12:44] <Stormx2> kaktus: Format it to ext3, or ntfs, whatever...
[12:44] <Oritemis_> ppl. I am having a problem in NAT service. Every time the other computer try to access internet, it becomes unstable and I start to lost packets. Someone have a idea?
[12:44] <ardchoille> F00: Didn't you say you were using debian?
[12:44] <Tangee> caps lock on gives lower case and vice versa
[12:45] <kaktus> I want to take backup of the files I currently have in windows, so that I can access them in linux afterwards
[12:45] <Flannel> dragonriot: that'd be more driver related than kernel related
[12:45] <Stormx2> Tangee: You mean the LED light on your keyboard is incorrect?
[12:45] <bulmer> kaktus: whats stopping you from backing them up?
[12:45] <F00> im using ubuntu
[12:45] <kaktus> Which filesystem works with both linux and windows besides FAT32?
[12:45] <Tangee> hmm...never thought of it that way...
[12:45] <kaktus> Is there any?
[12:45] <Theory5> i installed ubuntu-desktop what do i do now?
[12:45] <Tangee> but i guess so
[12:45] <Stormx2> kaktus: Like I said, ext3 or ntfs is the way to go.
[12:45] <dragonriot> kaktus, ext2 with proper drivers for Windows
[12:46] <Stormx2> dragonriot: Wouldn't ext3 be a little safer?
[12:46] <rwxr-xr--> PriceChild, Help me out dude .. When i try to Run ./configure its give me error "checking for C++ compiler default output file name... configure: error: C++ compiler cannot create executables " what should i do? how to compile it
[12:46] <xtknight> rwxr-xr--, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:46] <kaktus> When I entered the forun earlier today I were told to reformat to FAT32
[12:46] <Flannel> dragonriot: If you'd like, you can wait a few weeks for Feisty to become beta, then use that (and Feisty will be released soon thereafter)
[12:46] <F00> im using ubuntu
[12:46] <F00> now how do i start vnc
[12:46] <kaktus> because NTFS is bad supported in linux
[12:46] <xtknight> kaktus, ext2 is newer afaik, slightly better than vfat
[12:46] <kanzie> After a while my windows tend to go black if I make them above a certain size, have anyone seen this? If I make them smaller everything goes back to normal (visible)
[12:46] <kaktus> problems with writing
[12:46] <PriceChild> !ntfs-3g | kaktus
[12:46] <ubotu> kaktus: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but please remember to keep backups of critical data. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[12:46] <Tangee> so why owuld my keyboard caps LED be incorrect?
[12:46] <xtknight> kanzie, lack of video memory or resources?
[12:46] <kaktus> !ntfs-3g
[12:46] <Theory5> so what do i do now after i installed ubuntu-desktop
[12:47] <Oritemis_> ppl. I am having a problem in NAT service. Every time the other computer try to access internet, it becomes unstable and I start to lost packets. Someone have a idea?
[12:47] <dragonriot> Stormx2, I would imagine... but I didn't know Windows could use ext3... or didn't think about it.. =)
[12:47] <bulmer> kaktus: is there a need to go back and forth between the two differing File Systems?
[12:47] <Stormx2> kaktus: ntfs is fine on linux nowerdays. The only thing lacking is permissions...
[12:47] <Flannel> Theory5: start gdm, /etc/init.d/gdm start
[12:47] <Stormx2> dragonriot: Works fine for me :)
[12:47] <Flannel> Theory5: er, prefix that with sudo
[12:47] <dragonriot> cool
[12:47] <sharperguy> how do I get vim to highlight a c++ file?
[12:47] <xtknight> windows can read ext3 but not write it afaik
[12:47] <kaktus> Damage already done
[12:47] <rwxr-xr--> xtknight, :  sudo apt-get install build-essential
[12:47] <rwxr-xr--> Password:

[12:47] <xtknight> with ifs drivers.
[12:47] <Stormx2> kaktus, I suggest you use ext3.
[12:47] <F00> help
[12:47] <slavik> sharperguy: Esc, then :syntax on
[12:47] <F00> Flannel
[12:47] <F00> you here
[12:47] <Flannel> rwxr-xr--: close whatever other package managers you have open
[12:47] <kaktus> *sighs*
[12:47] <khaije> is wubi a virtual instance of ubuntu on windows?
[12:47] <kane77> sharperguy, :syntax enable
[12:47] <xtknight> rwxr-xr--, what Flannel said
[12:48] <Flannel> !vnc | F00
[12:48] <ubotu> F00: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX
[12:48] <rwxr-xr--> Flannel getting updates from Ubuntu
[12:48] <kaktus> I have to be able to write to the disk in both linux AND windows!
[12:48] <Flannel> rwxr-xr--: then you'll have to wait
[12:48] <sharperguy> kane77, slavik, cheers :P
[12:48] <Oritemis_> No one knows about nat here?
[12:48] <kane77> sharperguy, you have to have the right extension.. so for c++ it would be .cpp (I guess...)
[12:48] <Theory5> it says  sudo: /etc/init.d/gdm start not found!
[12:48] <slavik> kaktus: FAT32
[12:48] <Stormx2> kaktus: Like I said, NTFS or ext3
[12:48] <rwxr-xr--> Flannel,  okIE :)
[12:48] <Stormx2> slavik: Quiet. FAT32 is a poor fs
[12:48] <dragonriot> anyway... does anyone have the link I'm looking for??  It is describing using debian kernel repositories to upgrade the ubuntu kernel to 2.6.20???  It worked for me before, and now I can't find the post again...
[12:48] <kanzie> xtknight, sounds reasonable... how can I confirm this?
[12:48] <Flannel> Theory5: then you didn't successfully intsall ubuntu-desktop.  Try installing "gdm" manually: sudo apt-get install gdm
[12:48] <greg> awesome thank you now how do i move it from the panel to the desk top??
[12:48] <rwxr-xr--> get it xtknight
[12:48] <dragonriot> (new install - can't remember where I found it)
[12:48] <khaije> Oritemis_: do u have a question?
[12:49] <kaktus> The disk used to be formatted to NTFS with some files on. I ran the ubuntu liveCD, and it told me I could not write to the disk
[12:49] <slavik> Stormx2: :P
[12:49] <Oritemis_> khaije, yes sure
[12:49] <kaktus> I also had problems with playing mp3 files that were on it
[12:49] <xtknight> rwxr-xr--, hrmm?  yes you will have to wait until synaptic closes the package manager before you can grab build-essential
[12:49] <ardchoille> greg: You want the trash icon on the desktop?
[12:49] <Theory5> says its already in its newest version!
[12:49] <Oritemis_> ppl. I am having a problem in NAT service. Every time the other computer try to access internet, it becomes unstable and I start to lost packets. Someone have a idea?
[12:49] <Stormx2> kaktus: NTFS is well supported on ubuntu, and natively on windows. ext3 is native on ubuntu and fully supported on windows with a nice easy driver.
[12:49] <greg> yes please
[12:49] <xtknight> kanzie, what video driver are you using, and what video controller?
[12:49] <F00> Flannel, sudo apt-get install vnc-common tightvncserver there is no such package
[12:49] <Oritemis_> khaije,  I am having a problem in NAT service. Every time the other computer try to access internet, it becomes unstable and I start to lost packets. Someone have a idea?
[12:49] <xtknight> kanzie, also are you using xgl or beryl or anything like that?
[12:49] <Stormx2> kaktus: Thats got nothing to do with the filesystem...
[12:49] <xtknight> !repeat | Oritemis
[12:49] <kaktus> Stormx2: are you absolutely sure about this?
[12:49] <ubotu> Oritemis: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[12:50] <xtknight> ext3 writing is not supported by any windows driver AFAIK
[12:50] <Stormx2> kaktus: I can access my ext3 partitions from windows fine...
[12:50] <F00> Flannel, sudo apt-get install vnc-common tightvncserver there is no such package
[12:50] <johnson7340> anyone know a good way to get by the sh/bin/ tty; job control turned off error message? Tried starting in .10 instead of .11 and still gives me error message
[12:50] <Flannel> F00: You'll need to enable universe to get tightvnccommon
[12:50] <xtknight> ext2 without journaling can be supported with an IFS driver
[12:50] <ardchoille> greg: run gconf-editor, go to apps/nautilus/desktop and check the icons you want on the desktop
[12:50] <Stormx2> kaktus: Personally I'd recommend ext3, but if you want to go with ntfs that'd be fine too.
[12:50] <kaktus> Why did someone in here tell me to format the disk in to FAT32 then?
[12:50] <Shane-S> I am using the Desktop ISO for 6.06, and I use f4 to set my VGA mode, but when it goes to load the GUI it changes it, how do I start the CD and tell it what to use for the GUI part?
[12:50] <Flannel> F00: er, whatever, tightvncserver
[12:50] <Theory5> please help it says that sudo: /etc/init.d/gdm  not found!
[12:50] <Stormx2> kaktus: because its the quick way out.
[12:50] <kanzie> xtknight, Beryl
[12:50] <F00> Flannel, how do i do that
[12:50] <xtknight> kaktus, for cross-platform read/write, ext2 is the way to go.  grab an IFS driver and you're all set
[12:50] <Flannel> Theory5: cd /etc/init.d
[12:50] <kaktus> Why were I unable to play the files on the ext. disk from the live CD?
[12:50] <firebird619> I recently had to switch cable modems and now the Internet will not work. When I run sudo invoke-rc.d networking restart, it says No working leases in persistent database -sleeping. What can I do to fix this?
[12:50] <Oritemis_> khaije, ??
[12:50] <Stormx2> xtknight: ext3...
[12:50] <Flannel> Theory5: and then pastebin the output of your "ls -al"

[12:51] <kanzie> nvidia driver from lupine.me.uk repos, what is a video controller?
[12:51] <xtknight> Stormx2, ext3 is not compatible with a windows driver for writing
[12:51] <kanzie> xtknight, nvidia driver from lupine.me.uk repos, what is a video controller?
[12:51] <Stormx2> kaktus: Like I said, not a fs issue. Its audio codecs.
[12:51] <xtknight> Stormx2, afaik at least, ext3 uses journaling i dont believe the IFS driver has implemented that yet.  though it is backwards compatible it's probably a poor idea to write on ext3 with an ext2 driver
[12:51] <Theory5> got it right
[12:51] <F00> Flannel, can you walk me through
[12:51] <xtknight> kanzie, video controller is your video card
[12:51] <F00> commands
[12:51] <Stormx2> xtknight: I could have sworn I've had write permission to an ext3 partition... 1 mo.
[12:52] <kaktus> I downloaded every single package I could find related to audio and video +++
[12:52] <crimsun> xtknight: it's perfectly acceptable to ignore the journaling completely
[12:52] <kaktus> didn't help
[12:52] <Stormx2> kaktus: Why didn't you ask in here

[12:52] <kanzie> xtknight, it often occurs when I have WoW running on one desktop and Eclipse running on another. My videocard is Nvidia 9800GTX (256MB)
[12:52] <xtknight> Stormx2, crimsun: gotcha.  i had just read somewhere else that it probably wasn't the best idea
[12:52] <Flannel> F00: That page (the first one) walks you through it
[12:52] <kaktus> the wierdest thing is that everything worked fine with no hassle when I tried PCLinuxOS liveCD
[12:52] <Scalarscience> kaktus you're still at it huh
[12:53] <Flannel> Theory5: what?  You need to give us the URL here (after pasting), it'll have a bunch of numbers in it.  Also, what version of ubuntu are you using?  Edgy or Dapper?
[12:53] <Scalarscience> you were on this morning wondering how that PCLinuxOS was, guess you've tried it
[12:53] <dragonriot> ok... so since I won't be finding what I'm looking for, can someone point me in the right direction to an updated, working ( beryl | ubuntu | ati x600 | HP Laptop ) install guide?
[12:53] <kaktus> ==

[12:53] <Flannel> lastlog -clear
[12:53] <Stormx2> kaktus: Please read above link and stop bugging us about something you clearly aren't interested in a solution for
[12:53] <xtknight> kanzie, well that might do it.  it could be a driver bug, i dont know.  maybe #beryl can help you
[12:53] <kaktus> Scalarscience: what?
[12:53] <Scalarscience> nm
[12:53] <Scalarscience> just commenting
[12:53] <khaije> Oritemis_: i'm not sure what the problem is, but generally speaking you can be patient and wait here or find it on your own... or both :-)
[12:53] <Flannel> dragonriot: #ubuntu-effects for Beryl support, thanks
[12:53] <Scalarscience> I have a question myself
[12:53] <Stormx2> Fire away...
[12:53] <Scalarscience> I'm trying to get 6.10 server to install off of cd (burned from iso) as a LAMP install. The cd I burned verifies fine. The box is a really old AMD k6-2 (500 mhz) with 256Mb ram, and 2 IDE HDs (13Gb & 10Gb). Basically built of spare parts. The installation is successful (more than one time) and everything appears go. But it will not boot. After grub, it says 'starting up...' and then immediately reboots.
[12:53] <dxdt> dragonriot, I have the x300 with Beryl + XGL and the best thing I could say --I got mine to work by using a Beryl SVN repo that has more recent builds of Beryl than the standard repo
[12:54] <Scalarscience> Ubuntu desktop (gnome) installed fine and booted, I was able to configure all hardware. But I do not need all of the overhead of that release, I just want a box in the closet I can ssh into and use for web dev abuse. The hardware is fine, for what it is.
[12:54] <Oritemis_> khaije, I am with problems into internet share.
[12:54] <gravemind> hey I messed up my home folder somehow when I was making a new partition to mount there, and now I can't make new users, can you help me figure out what's going on?
[12:54] <greg> ardchoille  sorry new to ubuntu how do i run gconf-editor
[12:54] <Scalarscience> I have tried adding various noacpi parameters within grub (pci=noacpi noapic nolapic acpi=off) to no avail. Any ideas? I don't know how to troubleshoot a crash like that. L
[12:54] <gravemind> the thing is I accidentally interrupted the mv, so some folders got deleted, so I needed to recreate some other accounts
[12:54] <Flannel> Scalarscience: try using the alternate CD, and instlal the "server" option (itll install without a GUI)
[12:54] <Scalarscience> i am using the server install cd =]
[12:54] <Scalarscience> i installed the LAMP setup
[12:54] <ardchoille> greg: Applications -> System Tools -> Configuration Editor
[12:54] <Stormx2> Scalarscience: Thats kinda odd. Have you verified the CD?
[12:54] <Scalarscience> i think the installation is fine tbh
[12:54] <Scalarscience> yep
[12:54] <ardchoille> greg: Or, open a terminal and type gconf-editor
[12:55] <atomiku> When I boot ubuntu, I get this: /sbin/init: 428: cannot open dev/console: no such file  Kernal panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!  How shall I fix this? /sbin/init definately exists
[12:55] <Scalarscience> edgy desktop (gnome) installs & runs fine
[12:55] <ji1> hello
[12:55] <xtknight> gravemind, well you may not be able to make new users since /home doesn't exist or you dont have permissions to it
[12:55] <xtknight> !hi | ji1
[12:55] <ubotu> ji1: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[12:55] <ji1> how are you all....this is new to me
[12:55] <dragonriot> dxdt, I tried using SVN on my first try, and the beryl-xgl session crashed as soon as I started X...
[12:55] <Scalarscience> i've installed the server 4 times now though so I've completely repartitioned at this point
[12:55] <xtknight> ji1: great ..  new to lots here
[12:55] <Scalarscience> the desktop liveCD is up & running off of cd boot atm
[12:55] <Stormx2> xtknight: Lazy ;)
[12:55] <GFree> oh yay, we've past the 1K user mark
[12:56] <gravemind> xtknight: It exists, and I checked the permissions with the file browser, and they point to root
[12:56] <xtknight> Stormx2, gotcha, ext3 writing doesnt require a journal
[12:56] <Scalarscience> would there be some logs created on boot that I can use to troubleshoot?
[12:56] <kbrooks> GFree, we are?
[12:56] <Oritemis_> xtknight, you know about nat?
[12:56] <kbrooks> didnt know that
[12:56] <johnson7340> nice to meet you ji1
[12:56] <runatrain> how to download this?
[12:56] <dxdt> dragonriot, built from SVN or packages from apt built from  the latest SVN?
[12:56] <xtknight> Oritemis, yes
[12:56] <ji1> would someone have some time to help me with something
[12:56] <johnson7340> ask away
[12:56] <Scalarscience> use the Livecd to mount the internal HD & check the logs...
[12:56] <xtknight> gravemind, pastebin the results of "ls -al" under /
[12:56] <Oritemis_> xtknight,   I am having a problem in NAT service. Every time the other computer try to access internet, it becomes unstable and I start to lost packets. Someone have a idea?
[12:56] <GFree> kbrooks: I mean about the users on irc
[12:56] <xtknight> gravemind, and also the ones of "ls -al" under /home
[12:56] <dragonriot> dxdt, added SVN repositories, then synaptic'd the install
[12:57] <Savage-{> anybody know how I determine the bluetooth URI of my printer?  I got the address information for the printer but that is all I got.  Example: bluetooth://00-00-00-00-00-00
[12:57] <Stormx2> ji1: The trick with this channel is just to ask. No one knows if they can help you until you ask a question / describe your problem.
[12:57] <adrian_> Hi!
[12:57] <ardchoille> GFree: I think that mark was broken a long time ago
[12:57] <Theory5> how do i start the server in ubuntu server edition?
[12:57] <GFree> most other times I'm here it's ~950
[12:57] <GFree> probably, just new for me
[12:57] <runatrain> how do i download the startup cd?
[12:57] <Oritemis_> xtknight, The service was enabled inside firestart.
[12:57] <johnson7340> does anyone know how to work around that sh/bin tty job control turned off bug?
[12:57] <xtknight> Oritemis, it could be a hardware problem or driver problem.  i dont know what you mean by 'NAT service'.  NAT is a router faeture
[12:57] <william_> Hi
[12:57] <adrian_> jrib: may you help me out with tracking down dependencies for me to use a program?
[12:57] <GFree> in any case I'm elated I finally got beryl to work properly
[12:57] <dxdt> dragonriot,  the Trevin repo or whatever it is called?  Hmmmm.  I don't know then.  I just know it has been really buggy lately for me too and then the SVN fixed it for me
[12:57] <jrib> adrian_: what program?
[12:57] <Stormx2> GFree: I remember the days when hoary was released, and we were all like "BOY I HOPE WE'LL MAKE 500"
[12:57] <william_> how are you
[12:58] <Jowi> Theory5, "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start" or if ubuntu-desktop installed properly this time - reboot
[12:58] <GFree> heh
[12:58] <Theory5> then what?
[12:58] <gravemind> xtknight: I don't see any in / or /home
[12:58] <adrian_> DC++ for linux: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28378
[12:58] <Scalarscience> I'd really like to get ubuntu LAMP working, can anyone help troubleshoot my boot?
[12:58] <garfield1> Hey guys, question about which version of Ubuntu to dl
[12:58] <Oritemis_> xtknight, internet share.
[12:58] <xtknight> gravemind, you don't see any of what?
[12:58] <Jowi> Theory5, then you will get a graphical log in screen
[12:58] <johnson7340> ok, is that 1060 ppl on top?
[12:58] <william_> how do i install ccmsn?
[12:58] <ji1> when i try to change my screen resolution i only get to choose between 640 x something or 800x600 but my screen can go upto 1240 x 1280 or something like that so it doesn't look very nice...how can i fix it so i can get higher resolutions available?
[12:58] <adrian_> jrib: DC++ for linux: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=28378
[12:58] <xtknight> Oritemis_, sorry, i don't have any experience with 'firestarter' (a firewall) if that's what you're getting at
[12:58] <Oritemis_> xtknight, This computer, running ubuntu has a ppp conection to internet.
[12:59] <dxdt> dragonriot, sometimes executing beryl-xgl or beryl or beryl-manager can make a difference.  At least for me there was a time when I could only use beryl or it would crash everything.  Unfortunately I can't really help you out much more.  you could try ubuntu-effects, which has people smarter at this than me
[12:59] <Theory5> how do i put stuff on my server, like webpages?
[12:59] <gravemind> xtknight: the results of ls -al seem to be the contents of my homefolder, "~/"
[12:59] <xtknight> Oritemis_, i don't know about ppp either :O
[12:59] <Theory5> or where could i find the information to do that>?
[12:59] <Stormx2> Scalarscience: I don't really know what the problem could be. A lot of people here are more concerned with the cosmetics, perhaps ask in ##linux or ubuntuforums.org?
[12:59] <jrib> adrian_: the post seems to list the dependencies
[12:59] <Oritemis_> xtknight, ok, thank you.
[12:59] <kaktus> Ok, from what I could understand from the text above, the best filesystem for my external HDD is ext2 since this format has read/write support in windows XP and in ubuntu. COrrect?
[12:59] <dxdt> Theory5, you install apache or something?
[12:59] <Stormx2> Theory5: You have a LAMP install, ya?
[12:59] <Theory5> yes
[12:59] <xtknight> gravemind, um errrrr... ok post the results of "ls -al" in /, and then post the results of "ls -al" under /home  and i'll see what's up

[12:59] <lilrayray> hi, does anyone know how to disable a dual core processor so only one core runs?
[12:59] <dxdt> Theory5, /var/www/  put files in there like index.html  make sure they have the right permissions to be read.  That should be all it takes.
[12:59] <xtknight> lilrayray, yes there is a kernel option, hold on
[01:00] <adrian_> jrib: yeah but when i write in the code some of them is not gong triugh
[01:00] <garfield1> help...for an Intel Core 2 E6600, should I download the x86 version or the AMD64 version?
[01:00] <Jowi> Theory5, by default the server install installs the bare minimum neccessary to run servers. to serve webpages you need to install a web server. (like apache2 or lighttpd)
[01:00] <cables> lilrayray, just out of curiosity, why would you want to do that?
[01:00] <jrib> adrian_: pastebin
[01:00] <xtknight> lilrayray, specify "nosmp" at the kernel boot line
[01:00] <Theory5> so where can i refer to for this information?
[01:00] <blanky> hey guys, apache2 is the ubuntu apache package right?
[01:00] <gravemind> xtknight: oh sorry, I get it now. First cd to the directory, then run "ls -al"?
[01:00] <lisapc> i just installed Kubuntu. But it didnt connect me to broadband.  Im using Ethernet modem.  Any help please?  I found a place where I chose to ENABLE ethernet, but it didnt enable it.
[01:00] <Stormx2> Theory5: Wait a moment. If you want to be able to move stuff there without root, you'll want a symlink
[01:00] <adrian_> jrib: huh?
[01:00] <xtknight> gravemind, correct
[01:00] <Theory5> k
[01:00] <jrib> adrian_: pastebin the errors
[01:00] <blanky> hey, if I have installed apache2, where is my www folder
[01:00] <lilrayray> xtknight, kernel bootline, huh?
[01:00] <crdlb> blanky, /var/www

[01:01] <Stormx2> night Jowi
[01:01] <xtknight> lilrayray, yup, specified in /boot/grub/menu.lst, or if this is just a temp thing you can edit the boot line in grub on the fly at the bootup screen (press e i think and add on the "nosmp" option)
[01:01] <lachlan121> i realise this channel is busy, so i will be brief: aftner installing Ubuntu 6.10 on a clean machine it is now hanging on the loading screen upon bootup- can anyone help?
[01:01] <xtknight> lilrayray, we should fix the dualcore issue.  core 2 duo?
[01:01] <adrian_> jrib: may we chat in another chat?
[01:01] <lisapc> how do I tell Kubuntu to use my ethernet broadband modem?
[01:01] <Jowi> lilrayray, core duo or core 2 duo?
[01:01] <cables> lilrayray, I'm guessing it's got nothing to do with having two cores
[01:01] <greg> ardchoille cant find configuration editor under that and am not sure how to open a terminal

[01:02] <Jowi> lilrayray, sorry, i must leave anyway. 2.6.17-10-generic works fine with my core duo. 2.6.17-11-generic does not. g'night
[01:02] <Jowi> :)
[01:02] <xtknight> lilrayray, like cables said i dont think it has to do with it being dual core.  what symptoms?
[01:02] <lisapc> Stormx2 what do I chose in there?
[01:02] <GMWeeze1> How can I transfer files to my Texas Instruments calculator?
[01:02] <ardchoille> greg: ALT+F2 will come in handy in the future ;)
[01:02] <crdlb> lisapc, I'd recommend getting a router, but I think ubuntu includes a PPPoE client
[01:02] <Stormx2> lisapc: Can you see your modem in there?
[01:02] <garfield1> lachlan121: I'm having the exact same problem, I'm interested to find a solution

[01:03] <johnson7340> anyone know why my grub.conf is not in te grub folder? trying to fix the /sh/bin tty; job control tuned off error on bootup. Im goingcrazy here in XP.
[01:03] <xtknight> mirak, don't try it unless you haev another user on hand or something, but that should definitely wipe gnome stuff
[01:03] <GMWeeze1> xtknight: thanks
[01:03] <lilrayray> xtknight: well, in 6.06 (using 6.10 now), whenever I enabled my dual core, ubuntu would freeze up completely and i would have to force it to reboot.  I get Identicle problems now with 6.10, and it shows that the two cores are active
[01:03] <Vik_> slavik: sweet
[01:03] <bruenig> johnson7340, it is /boot/grub/menu.lst
[01:03] <adrian_> jrib: can you give me the channel again?
[01:03] <jrib> adrian_: sure, /join #ubuntu-classroom
[01:03] <Stormx2> william_: So install it.
[01:03] <raven3x7> is there another easy way to build a package besides checkinstall?
[01:04] <mirak> xtknight: I have done that but there is still the panels
[01:04] <Savage-{> Is there a bluetooth browser applet for gnome?
[01:04] <slavik> lilrayray: smp kernel?
[01:04] <blanky> crdlb: how come it's in /var/www/, now I need sudo to just write stuff to it, is this normal? or should I do something about it
[01:04] <mirak> xtknight: and also the skins are not good
[01:04] <ji1> stormx2 can i pm you ?
[01:04] <johnson7340> ty, bruenig, trying to get past that error and forums said try changing ramdisk
[01:04] <bruenig> raven3x7, upi dpm
[01:04] <xtknight> gravemind, so what happens when you try to create a new user?  and how are you craeting a new user?
[01:04] <johnson7340> brb
[01:04] <sharperguy> whats the proper way to use gcc to compile a single c++ file?
[01:04] <Vik_> slavik: ok im at the boot menu. I hit esc but nothing happens
[01:04] <crdlb> blanky, I believe so
[01:04] <Stormx2> ji1: Go ahead
[01:04] <lilrayray> slavik: umm, unsure - it is 2.6.17-11-generic
[01:04] <xtknight> mirak, sudo rm -rf ~/.metacity   ?
[01:04] <wo1ferine> what is xorg?
[01:04] <william_> maybe, i dont know
[01:04] <slavik> lilrayray: it should be fine
[01:04] <mirak> xtknight: mmm
[01:04] <bruenig> raven3x7, /var/www/ is good, you don't want other people to have permissions to mess with that
[01:04] <xtknight> !xorg | wo1ferine
[01:04] <ubotu> wo1ferine: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:04] <Vik_> slavik: I have kernel, kernel(recovery mode), memtest, and win xp
[01:04] <lilrayray> slavik: it is not
[01:05] <slavik> Vik_: did you select the recovery one?
[01:05] <Stormx2> ji1: You'll need to be a identified user to do so though, if you're not already.
[01:05] <xtknight> lilrayray, so it's stable in nosmp mode?
[01:05] <Vik_> slavik: no should i?
[01:05] <crdlb> blanky, you could add yourself to the www-data group, but I'm not sure if that's secure
[01:05] <wo1ferine> ok, so is X not the only one?
[01:05] <slavik> Vik_: yes
[01:05] <blanky> crdlb: it's okay
[01:05] <lisapc> crdlb it says I need pppoeconf
[01:05] <gravemind> xtknight: I use the system>admin>users and groups application, and it acts like it made a new user, but the new user can't log in, and they don't get a folder in /home
[01:05] <xtknight> wo1ferine, X is pretty much the only windowing system
[01:05] <Vik_> slavik: k, its going...
[01:05] <lilrayray> xtknight: I am in XP right now, so I will have to reboot to try this idea
[01:05] <lisapc> crdlb but I cant download pppoeconf
[01:05] <wo1ferine> and what is beryl?
[01:05] <xtknight> !beryl | wo1ferine
[01:05] <ubotu> wo1ferine: Beryl is a window manager that takes advantage of an OpenGL accelerated X environment. See http://forum.beryl-project.org/ - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[01:05] <wo1ferine> its a window manager, isnt it?
[01:06] <lachlan121> hey Stormx2, my reply might have been drowned out, but yes, its hanging on the graphical progress bar
[01:06] <xtknight> wo1ferine, not on the same level as X.  X is actually a server
[01:06] <wo1ferine> ok, so whats the difference between a window manager, and what X is?
[01:06] <Vik_> slavik: it seems to have stalled at: acpi: assume root bridge [\_SB_.PCI0]  bus is 0
[01:06] <Cryoniq> Question: When Feisty Fawn is released sharp, will us with say edgy be able to upgrade or we need to reinstall to feisty?
[01:06] <Stormx2> lachlan121: Hmm. usually it will revert to text if it hangs for a long time.
[01:06] <crdlb> lisapc, did you try apt-getting it?
[01:06] <Stormx2> lachlan121: is it not doing that? Try waiting maybe 1 minute.
[01:06] <wo1ferine> X is what type of server?
[01:06] <wo1ferine> window server?
[01:06] <raven3x7> bruenig, ?
[01:06] <Stormx2> Cryoniq: Upgrade
[01:06] <slavik> wo1ferine: X is all of the graphics, window manager manages the windows (what happens when they come close enough or where to open new ones)
[01:06] <Cryoniq> =)
[01:06] <lachlan121> Stormx2: OK, I'll try that
[01:06] <sharperguy> wolferine, X allows graphics to exist (Exept text), a window manager draws the windows
[01:06] <xtknight> wo1ferine, X is the whole underlying video driver system.  it is a server and , yes it is a window server where all the windows are clients of it
[01:07] <lisapc> crdlb LOL! how can I apt-get when i dont have internt connection!  think about ut
[01:07] <lilrayray> xtknight: I will try this, Ill check back soon
[01:07] <xtknight> lilrayray, ok
[01:07] <Cryoniq> I have a feeling though that upgrades like that could be troublesome ^^
[01:07] <raven3x7> bruenig, upi and dpm are different  programs?
[01:07] <whonicca> Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Express Chipset Family Graphics Controller, what driver should i be using for this card
[01:07] <garfield1> Stormx2: I'm having the exact same problem as lachlan121, it does go to command line after 1-2mins
[01:07] <xtknight> wo1ferine, stuff like cairo and xft draws fonts, as well
[01:07] <crdlb> lisapc, lol, it's on the cd according to the page
[01:07] <whonicca> computer is running awfully laggy =\
[01:07] <whonicca> on a fresh install
[01:07] <garfield1> Stormx2: what are my options when I get to the command line
[01:07] <wo1ferine> all the windows are just managed by, say BEryl, and X just lays underneath it
[01:07] <xtknight> wo1ferine, correct
[01:07] <atomiku> When I boot ubuntu, I get this: /sbin/init: 428: cannot open dev/console: no such file  Kernal panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!  How shall I fix this? /sbin/init definately exists
[01:08] <crdlb> lisapc, sudo apt-cdrom add
[01:08] <xtknight> wo1ferine, they exist on X, although beryl is in charge of drawing them
[01:08] <Gorgapor> is there a good command-line utility I can use to monitor when files change?
[01:08] <lisapc> crdlb ok :)
[01:08] <wo1ferine> ok, so there are other window servers, any examples?
[01:08] <wo1ferine> is Gnome a wm?
[01:08] <xtknight> wo1ferine, i don't know of any other than X (X.org)
[01:08] <Stormx2> garfield1, lachlan121: Well, its not a command line as such. if you could write down as much detail as you can on the latest thing which happened according to the log (the text you see) and pastebin it...
[01:08] <xtknight> wo1ferine, gnome is a Desktop environment (DE)
[01:08] <xtknight> wo1ferine, its window manager is metacity
[01:08] <wo1ferine> ah
[01:08] <wo1ferine> and KDE?
[01:08] <sharperguy> wo1ferine, there all X, but X.org is an implementation of it as is xfree86 (not used as much these days)
[01:08] <Stormx2> wo1ferine: KDE is a DE, Its window manager is qt
[01:09] <crdlb> kwin
[01:09] <Stormx2> Wait
[01:09] <Stormx2> yeah
[01:09] <wo1ferine> ok
[01:09] <Stormx2> sorry >.<
[01:09] <raven3x7> is there another easy way to build a package besides checkinstall?
[01:09] <Stormx2> I was wrong.
[01:09] <wo1ferine> that helps a bit
[01:09] <GFree_> we also established yesterday that beryl is so cool, it has the power to cure cancer.
[01:09] <xtknight> raven3x7, heh not really
[01:09] <SkippyX> Hey. I have a fresh install of edgy. When I did the install I had an old Matrox card in it. I ran across a much better nvidia card and swapped the cards. Now X won't start. Can anyone point me to a how-to page, or some documentation that tells me how to configure the new card?
[01:09] <crdlb> GFree, so, compiz can cure ebola :D
[01:09] <Stormx2> GFree_: Bit of a sensitve issue, and completely false >.<
[01:09] <xtknight> raven3x7, using "ar" is the easiest way ive found.  i just use checkinstall, then do "ar x" to extract the deb, modify the status files and repackage it with ar again
[01:09] <GFree_> ahhhah
[01:10] <arooni> once i have a debian file downloaded, how do i install it?
[01:10] <lachlan121> Stormx2: i'll get back to you with that it a minute or 3, thanks for your help so far:)
[01:10] <arooni> i mean a .deb file
[01:10] <cables> arooni, you can usually double-click it
[01:10] <chat1410> can someone give me some step by step directions (or a link) on how to upgrade hoary to egdy? i've tried gksu "update-manager -c" with no luck
[01:10] <arooni> cables: how about from the command line
[01:10] <xtknight> arooni, sudo dpkg -i <file.deb>
[01:10] <Flannel> !lamp | Theory5
[01:10] <ubotu> Theory5: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process (different in Edgy+)
[01:10] <Flannel> !upgrade | chat1410
[01:10] <cables> arooni, xtknight just said it :)
[01:10] <ubotu> chat1410: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[01:10] <wo1ferine> how can you see the IRC userlist in Gnome-xchat?
[01:10] <chat1410> thanks
[01:10] <Gorgapor> repeat: is there a good command-line utility I can use to monitor when files change? i found the inotify library for this purpose, but it doesn't seem to have a command line utility for it
[01:10] <cables> SkippyX, you need to reconfigure Xorg
[01:11] <Flannel> Gorgapor: tail?
[01:11] <wo1ferine> or Xchat-GNOME I mean
[01:11] <cables> wolferine, better to just use xchat
[01:11] <crdlb> wo1ferine, you have to click on a button, and it shows up iirc
[01:11] <cables> wolferine, not sure in xchat-gnome, sorry
[01:11] <crdlb> temporarily
[01:11] <Flannel> wo1ferine: I believe you hover over the right side, and it'll pop up
[01:11] <wo1ferine> iirc?
[01:11] <SkippyX> cables, I thought so - but when I boot, I don't boot into a terminal. How do I get it to boot to a terminal?
[01:11] <sharperguy> whats the best way to compile a single c++ source file with gcc into a program file?
[01:11] <cables> SkippyX, you need to reconfigure X.
[01:11] <gravemind> xtknight: did you check the pastebin
[01:11] <Gorgapor> Flannel, i mean where i can be notified if anything monitors a file in a whole directory
[01:11] <xtknight> wo1ferine, drag the slider at the right side
[01:11] <xtknight> wo1ferine, iirc=if i recall correctly
[01:11] <Vik_> slavik: yeah its def stalled at that
[01:11] <wo1ferine> there is none
[01:11] <cables> SkippyX, select recovery mode in grub
[01:11] <crdlb> xtknight, that's xchat
[01:11] <xtknight> gravemind, oops sorry sorta forgot
[01:11] <xtknight> eh?
[01:11] <lisapc> crdlb but its already setp up and working in MS windows.  Why I need to set it up again?
[01:12] <cables> SkippyX, I believe the command is dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, but someone should check me on that.
[01:12] <wo1ferine> i knew of the same thing in xchat, where the userlist is hidden
[01:12] <wo1ferine> but not in Chat-Gnome
[01:12] <SkippyX> OK - but on boot I don't get a terminal. I can't log in.
[01:12] <crdlb> lisapc, you have to connect to dsl, it's sorta like dialup
[01:12] <xtknight> gravemind, yeah it looked fine to me..have you tried "adduser"?
[01:12] <wo1ferine> Xchat-Gnome*
[01:12] <cables> wolferine, i'll pull down xchat-gnome temporarily to check
[01:12] <SkippyX> If I can't log in - I can't do much w/ it. Nice doorstop, though.
[01:12] <xtknight> !adduser
[01:12] <ubotu> To add new users to your Ubuntu system, follow the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddUsersHowto - For administrative privileges, users need to be made members of the group "admin" - See !sudo
[01:12] <crdlb> lisapc, which is why i recommend a router :D
[01:12] <cables> SkippyX, in Grub, before it boots.
[01:12] <whonicca> hey guys, i just installed ubuntu edgy and have a problem, it seems the livecd performed better than the actual thing installed on my hard drive
[01:12] <Flannel> Gorgapor: with `watch` perhaps
[01:13] <SkippyX> cables - OK - thanks! I'll have a go.
[01:13] <cables> SkippyX, hold down ESC while it boots and choose recovery mode.
[01:13] <lisapc> crdlb but wont following those steps re-set or stuff up my already configured adsl modem?
[01:13] <dragonriot> argh.... ok... I have 2.6.17-12 kernel installed now... and I'm trying to find the correct 686 based ubuntu kernel to install from synaptic... I have ALL repositories selected... which is the best 686 kernel version to use?
[01:13] <whonicca> and it seems like everything lags
[01:13] <Gorgapor> flannel, thx, i'll look into that
[01:13] <gravemind> xtknight - no, haven't
[01:13] <SkippyX> ok
[01:13] <Flannel> dragonriot: the -generic one (you're on Edgy)
[01:13] <cables> wolferine, installing it now, hold on a sec
[01:13] <slavik> who sneezed?
[01:13] <xtknight> gravemind, "sudo adduser --shell /bin/bash --home /home/myuser myuser"
[01:13] <lufis> slavik: bless you
[01:13] <crdlb> lisapc, no you're just connecting to it.  unless it is one of the modems w/ builtin routers, it's not being configured at all
[01:13] <Vik_> slavik: u there?
[01:13] <whonicca> can someone please help me =)
[01:13] <wo1ferine> i dont think it has it
[01:13] <slavik> Vik_: you sneezed?
[01:13] <IndyGunFreak> !someone
[01:13] <ubotu> A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[01:13] <wo1ferine> you cannot see the userlist in Xchat-gnome
[01:13] <lufis> whonicca: just ask your question :)
[01:14] <cables> whonicca, faster comp :)
[01:14] <whonicca> i did
[01:14] <whonicca> cables
[01:14] <whonicca> it has 1g of memory, 3.0 p4
[01:14] <cables> whonicca, anything more specific? have you rebooted?
[01:14] <Vik_> slavik: ummmm..., what?
[01:14] <gravemind> cool, ok trying it
[01:14] <whonicca> 64mb video card though intel
[01:14] <slavik> someone said my name ...
[01:14] <wo1ferine> u can only press ctrl-u to view them
[01:14] <lisapc> crdlb its working in MS windows.  so its safew to follow that website?  It wont screw up my working modem on MS windows?
[01:14] <wo1ferine> its not actually attached
[01:14] <garfield1> help...for an Intel Core 2 E6600, should I download the x86 version or the AMD64 version?
[01:14] <Gorgapor> flannel, no, watch won't do it. I'm basically trying to figure out which config files in my home directory are being modified
[01:14] <slavik> who was it that was vying for my expensive attention?
[01:14] <crdlb> lisapc, yes
[01:14] <xtknight> whonicca, type "sudo killall updatedb" and see if that makes it faster?
[01:14] <Vik_> slavik: me probably
[01:15] <Flannel> garfield1: Eitehr one, depending on whether you want a 32bit or 64bit OS
[01:15] <Vik_> slavik: since i am clueless
[01:15] <slavik> Vik_: then what is it?
[01:15] <goodbrain> NEED HELP: I'm being denied access to my CDROM drive, my HDD, and my sound card.
[01:15] <crdlb> lisapc, you had to configure windows for it too
[01:15] <lisapc> crdlb YES????? it will stuff it up???
[01:15] <cables> whonicca, alt-f2, then gnome-system-monitor. Sort by cpu and see if anything's using that too much, then try sorting by used RAM.
[01:15] <whonicca> xtknight, ok
[01:15] <slavik> Vik_: you get to a prompt yet?
[01:15] <goodbrain> this is the error message:
[01:15] <goodbrain> mount: block device /dev/hdd is write-protected, mounting read-only
[01:15] <goodbrain> mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdd,
[01:15] <goodbrain>        missing codepage or other error
[01:15] <goodbrain>        In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
[01:15] <goodbrain>        dmesg | tail  or so
[01:15] <crdlb> lisapc, no it's harmless
[01:15] <xtknight> !paste | goodbrain
[01:15] <ubotu> goodbrain: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[01:15] <cables> !paste | goodbrain
[01:15] <Vik_> slavik: it stalled
[01:15] <whonicca> cables, will do
[01:15] <tyler> can an ipod be loaded with mp3 and be played??? or is i-tunes music files different from mp3's
[01:15] <lisapc> crdlb pls liusten this time. its working NOW
[01:15] <slavik> Vik_: what is the last line?
[01:15] <cables> whonicca, brb, so pm me with the answer so i don't miss it
[01:15] <lisapc> crdlb its working NOW from MS wndows.
[01:15] <cables> tyler, it supports mp3.
[01:15] <garfield1> Flannel: would either the 32 or 64 run smoother or better?
[01:16] <slavik> Vik_: your hdd is sata or ide?
[01:16] <lufis> goodbrain: did you try to mount something manually?
[01:16] <xtknight> garfield1, 32 would run smoother for most stuff on a Core 2 Duo as it supports macrofusion in 32bit mode only
[01:16] <Flannel> garfield1: You probably will be happier with 32bit, not because of performance, but because of stuff like Flash
[01:16] <Vik_> slavik: assume root bridge [\_SB_.PCI0]  bus is 0
[01:16] <ardchoille> cables: whonicca isn't id'd to nickserv.. a pm from him may not get to you
[01:16] <lilrayray> xtknight: I added nosmp to the ubuntu entry in grub and after rebooting, the second core still appears to be active
[01:16] <tanubis> can anyone give me a hand with installing a webcam?  I've downloaded easyspca, it installs and makes a driver.  When I hit dmesg it registers  the usb device, and lsusb indicates I have something installed at that spot.  But when I fire up camorama, it indicates there isn't anything registered to /dev/video.  Anyone know what I should go about doing next?
[01:16] <slavik> err ... so no promt?
[01:16] <crdlb> lisapc, you don't understand, you have to connect to your dsl modem every time you want to use it (just like dialup) with your username and pass, windows does it too
[01:16] <lachlan121> Stormx2: Now my computer won't even get to the stage of the graphical loader:( it just says 'DISK BOOT FAILURE INSERT FLOPPYDISK'
[01:16] <whonicca> ardchoille, thanks for the heads up
[01:16] <Vik_> slavik: its a laptop
[01:16] <xtknight> garfield1, i've run 32 and 64 on a core 2 duo.  32 is faster for most stuff, less trouble.  64 can have a slight advantage in math/scienfitic apps but for video 32 all the way
[01:16] <Vik_> so ide im assuming
[01:16] <goodbrain> Lufis: no, it just stopped letting me use it after my upgrade to Dapper
[01:16] <cables> ardchoille, thanks for telling me that.
[01:16] <ardchoille> whonicca: You're welcome :)
[01:16] <cables> whonicca, don't pm me then :)
[01:16] <slavik> Vik_: laptops can have sata ...
[01:16] <indolent_> wo1ferine,  did you found a way to see users in gnome xchat
[01:16] <lufis> goodbrain: oh, weird
[01:16] <whonicca> no i nickserved =)
[01:17] <slavik> Vik_: is this a clean install?
[01:17] <Stormx2> lachlan121: Woh...
[01:17] <Vik_> slavik: oh...
[01:17] <cables> wolferine, Discussion>Users
[01:17] <wo1ferine> yeah
[01:17] <garfield1> excellent...32 it is
[01:17] <wo1ferine> but its a temp window
[01:17] <finer> urgent help. i recently removed some old kernels, and now my shutdown and restart buttons are gone! what did i do?
[01:17] <wo1ferine> u can only press ctrl-u to view them
[01:17] <Stormx2> lachlan121: Try again once or twice? thats baad...
[01:17] <Vik_> its a hp dv9000
[01:17] <lisapc> crdlb so if I follow that website, it will help me do that? but it wont mess around with my internal modem settings will it?  because its been set up internally already with username and password
[01:17] <tanubis> lachlan121: have you tried booting with a CD?
[01:17] <xtknight> lilrayray, odd, can you pastebin your grub menu.lst?
[01:17] <slavik> Vik_: which tells me nothing :)
[01:17] <cables> wolferine, i have an idea, hold on
[01:17] <wo1ferine> or just click its button at the lower left hand corner
[01:17] <lufis> finer: you mean when you click the red icon in the right hand corner?
[01:17] <lilrayray> xtknight: sure hold on
[01:17] <finer> yes
[01:17] <blanky> what's a way to monitor network traffic on a specific port
[01:17] <crdlb> lisapc, then it has a builtin router and you don't need pppoeconf
[01:17] <finer> lufis: yes
[01:17] <slavik> Vik_: write down the last 5-10 lines and pastebin them, someone should have an idea :)
[01:17] <tanubis> blanky: download ethereal
[01:17] <goodbrain> Lufis: and it recognizes the hardware, it'll even tell me how many tracks on the CDs i put in, it just wont let me access the files
[01:17] <xtknight> blanky, wireshark (formerly ethereal) is a packet sniffer
[01:18] <blanky> tanubis: wireshark?
[01:18] <raven3x7> xtknight, thanks. unfortunatly checkinstall doesnt work for me
[01:18] <xtknight> blanky, you can filter by port
[01:18] <indolent_> wolferine, i am unable to get it .. is there a setting somewhere
[01:18] <lufis> finer: i don't know, but i've had the problem too. it usually comes back after the panel is reloaded. run killall gnome-panel and see if that helps
[01:18] <crdlb> lisapc, just connect to the ethernet device in the Networking settings dialog
[01:18] <slavik> as for me, time to go to work because of damn DST switch and AD ...
[01:18] <Vik_> slavik:  how do i find out
[01:18] <xtknight> raven3x7, odd, what are you trying to package?
[01:18] <whonicca> xtknight, no processes killed
[01:18] <tanubis> blanky: wireshark/ethereal is a network/packet sniffer.  Can set it to filter for just about anything.
[01:18] <atomiku> so whens ubuntu 7 being released?
[01:18] <blanky> xtknight: sorry don't know how to use that, I'll just use nc -luvvp
[01:18] <lachlan121> tanubis: i can run ubuntu of the live CD if that counts as booting?
[01:18] <xtknight> whonicca, check what's using all your resources (cpu,vmem)
[01:18] <lisapc> crdlb when I first set this modem up I ran the modem config and entered my username and password and saved it.  now all I do is turn it on daily and it connects in MS windows/
[01:18] <cables> wolferine, looked in gconf, couldn't find it... sorry. Try xchat though, it's much more configurable and has what you want.
[01:18] <xtknight> blanky, whaaa?
[01:18] <xtknight> blanky, im confused ;P
[01:18] <blanky> yeah don't know how to use it :(
[01:18] <cables> whonicca, did you find anything?
[01:18] <bruenig> raven3x7, sorry from above, my hands were not situated right on the keyboard
[01:18] <tanubis> lachlan121 if you can run ubuntu off the live CD, can you access the main linux partitions with it as well?
[01:18] <lisapc> crdlb when I do that, i select CONNECT but nothing happens
[01:18] <blanky> I just need to monitor ports 28960 and 28950
[01:18] <lilrayray> xtknight: here yah go: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9737/
[01:18] <blanky> xtknight
[01:18] <slavik> Vik_: take the hdd out and check the connector ... lots of pins (40) means IDE, less than 10 is sata
[01:18] <lufis> goodbrain: sounds like a permission goofup. i dunno, sounds like it's royally messed up
[01:19] <xtknight> blanky, oh it's not too hard, really just right click on one of the packets and go filter
[01:19] <slavik> time to go to work
[01:19] <whonicca> cables, lookin now
[01:19] <lufis> goodbrain: can you pastebin your /etc/fstab for me?
[01:19] <crdlb> lisapc, did you configure your modem via a web interface (where you type it's ip address or name into a web browser)?
[01:19] <tanubis> blanky: if you run ethereal/wireshark, you can filter it to only display traffic on specific ports.
[01:19] <raven3x7> bruenig, well i guessed you werent refering to me :)
[01:19] <blanky> tanubis: how? please?
[01:19] <xtknight> lilrayray, you added it to the wrong spot
[01:19] <lufis> goodbrain: you can view it by running "cat /etc/fstab" in the terminal
[01:19] <lachlan121> tanubis: i'm not entirely sure how running off the live cd works, but I'm gussing I could
[01:19] <raven3x7> xtknight, wine
[01:19] <lisapc> crdlb yes
[01:19] <lilrayray> xtknight: oh, haha, where does it go?
[01:20] <cables> tyler, if you're still here, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPod#Software has a list of supported formats on the iPod
[01:20] <blanky> tanubis and xtknight: I also can't choose an interface, there are none there, for some reason
[01:20] <lisapc> crdlb so how do I now get Kubuntu to use it?
[01:20] <crdlb> lisapc, then if dhcp is enabled in the modem/router, you should be able to connect
[01:20] <Vik_> slavik: fair enough..., wow..., i'm not normally that slow
[01:20] <Vik_> slavik: brb
[01:20] <greatgazoo> could running a laptop with ACPI off cause it to burn out?
[01:20] <tanubis> blanky: there's a dropdown in the gui for filters.  You can just set a boolean logic condition - ie: IF port=8982 OR port=XXXX then display
[01:20] <xtknight> lilrayray, remove it from where you added it, put it here instead: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.17-11-generic root=/dev/sda1 ro quiet splash <<<nosmp>>>   (without the <<<<s of course)  and just modify one entry in that file so you have other fallback options.  dont screw with the recovery mode one
[01:20] <finer> killing the gnome-panel didn't work, i also restarted x. no change
[01:20] <lisapc> crdlb yeah but it doesnt!
[01:20] <matthew1429> hey guys - who knows of a script or program I can use to convert .asf files that just have audio into mp3 or ogg?  VLC is great for recording audio streams but I can only get it to save in asf successfully
[01:20] <blanky> thanks tanubis
[01:20] <xtknight> blanky, run it in SUDO
[01:20] <lufis> finer: weird. try rebooting i guess. it comes and goes for me too
[01:20] <xtknight> blanky, gksu ethereal
[01:20] <goodbrain> Lufis: I dont understand pastebin, this is my first time on IRC
[01:20] <finer> ok
[01:20] <lilrayray> xtknight: ok, Ill give it a go
[01:20] <blanky> thanks
[01:20] <lufis> finer:  sudo reboot i think it is
[01:21] <tanubis> lachlan121: if you can boot with a live CD, most likely the only problem is with the MBR/boot loader.  See if you can manually reinstall grub/lilo overtop, might fix it for you.
[01:21] <lisapc> crdlb its running fine from MS windows
[01:21] <finer> lufis: ok thank
[01:21] <crdlb> lisapc, and you don't use any dialer software on windows?
[01:21] <xtknight> matthew1429, perhaps "mencoder" can do it
[01:21] <tanubis> lachlan121: google repair MBM linux and there's quite a few walkthroughs
[01:21] <lachlan121> can i install grub from the live cd? through aptitude or something similar?
[01:21] <tanubis> lachlan121: MBR, sorry
[01:21] <lufis> goodbrain: okay, go to http://pastebin.com/ and paste the contents of /etc/fstab. then link me to it
[01:21] <lisapc> crdlb none!  its ethernet modem
[01:21] <xtknight> lachlan121, yes.  off the livecd: "sudo grub-install /dev/blkdevice"
[01:22] <xtknight> lachlan121, but you haev to specify the correct root.
[01:22] <xtknight> lachlan121, could you reiterate the problem youre having briefly?
[01:22] <tanubis> lachlan121: You'll need to chroot to the mountpoint of your main linux drive, then you just run grubinstall
[01:22] <xtknight> gravemind, any luck?
[01:22] <lisapc> crdlb do u have ANY IDEA what you talking about dude?
[01:22] <crdlb> lisapc, dunno why it isn't working then, and since it is kubuntu, you should try #kubuntu
[01:22] <matthew1429> hey guys - who knows of a script or program I can use to convert .asf files that just have audio into mp3 or ogg?  VLC is great for recording audio streams but I can only get it to save in asf successfully
[01:22] <whonicca> cables, gnome-system-monitor 11%, memory firefox is taking the most with 50mb
[01:22] <xtknight> matthew1429, perhaps "mencoder" can do it
[01:22] <Vik_> slavik: okay, 80gb, serial AT
[01:22] <tanubis> lachlan121: 1) Boot liveCD, 2) chroot /dev/hda0 3) install grub
[01:23] <matthew1429> xtknight: thx
[01:23] <lisapc> crdlb you have trolled me for last 20mins wasting my time :(
[01:23] <cables> whonicca, that's weird... i don't have any idea why it would be acting slow then.
[01:23] <cables> lisapc, what's the problem you're having?
[01:23] <Thehound666> I have Kubuntu Edgy on 3 PCs but one periodically keeps coming up with filesystem errors. Anyone may know the cause?
[01:23] <whonicca> yeah, think its the video card?
[01:23] <Thehound666> Windows has no issue
[01:23] <lisapc> cables hello :)
[01:23] <cables> lisapc, hi?
[01:23] <goodbrain> Lufis: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9739/
[01:23] <lisapc> cables i run ubuntu but it doesnt connect to my dsl
[01:23] <crdlb> cables, he has a dsl modem w/ a builtin router that won't connect to kubuntu
[01:23] <lufis> Thehound666: what filesystem?
[01:23] <lachlan121> xtknight: i'm getting 'DISK BOOT FAILURE, INSERT SYSTEM DISK AND PRESS ENTER'
[01:23] <Thehound666> ext3
[01:23] <cables> !dsl | lisapc
[01:23] <blanky> tanubis: I did, IF port=28960 OR port=28950 then display, running in root, and it's not picking anything up, I clicked on Apply by the way
[01:23] <ubotu> lisapc: Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE
[01:23] <lisapc> cables its running from MS windows
[01:24] <lisapc> cables that website doesnt work for me
[01:24] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[01:24] <xtknight> lachlan121, after installing ubuntu on a hd?
[01:24] <lisapc> cables its ALREADY set up interntally
[01:24] <tanubis> blanky: it doesn't use exactly that syntax... lemme check on one of mine
[01:24] <lufis> goodbrain: ok, thanks
[01:24] <lachlan121> xtknight: yes
[01:24] <blanky> tanubis: oh, woops
[01:24] <xtknight> tanubis, you can chroot into a block device?
[01:24] <cables> lisapc, i have no experience with DSL, just experience getting Ubotu to tell people about DSL... so I can't figure it out, sorry.
[01:24] <Thehound666> I actually had to use live CD to fix it twice
[01:24] <Thehound666> when fsck actually got hung
[01:24] <tanubis> xtknight soon as you mount it
[01:24] <lachlan121> tanubis: i have installed and reinstalled ubuntu upwards or 20 times, will re-installing grub make any difference?
[01:25] <crdlb> lisapc, like I said, try #kubuntu
[01:25] <Vik_> slavik: sooo yeahhhhhh.....
[01:25] <finer> lifus: rebooting didnt work, thanks for trying though. im going to seach the forums
[01:25] <lisapc> crdlb you are trolling dude
[01:25] <SpudDogg> Does anyone know why I cannot change track info in Rhythmbox?  Every time I make a change I get "Error while saving song information; Internal GStreamer problem; file a bug"  *FRUSTRATED*
[01:25] <lufis> finer: sorry :( okay, good luck
[01:25] <xtknight> lachlan121, yup corrupt mbr.  youll have to go into a livecd, mount the root partition, do "sudo grub-install --root-directory=/media/mount /dev/hda" or something similar
[01:25] <Stormx2> lachlan121: Thats a mobo error...
[01:25] <cables> crdlb, it's a problem with networking, has nothing to do with the desktop environment.
[01:25] <IndyGunFreak> lisapc: lol.. if anyone is trolling its you
[01:25] <cables> lisapc, he's not trolling.
[01:25] <tanubis> lachlan121: not sure, but reinstalling grub takes just a few seconds so it's worth a shot :P
[01:25] <Flannel> !grub | lachlan121, first link
[01:25] <ubotu> lachlan121, first link: 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
[01:25] <Vik_> slavik: its got less than IDE but more than the SATA (what i've seen anyway)
[01:25] <ojk007> !fiesty
[01:25] <ubotu> The next version of Ubuntu (7.04; codenamed "Feisty Fawn"), it should be released in April 2007. At the moment it is alpha.

[01:25] <xtknight> lachlan121, i can walk you through it if you reboot into a livecd
[01:26] <lachlan121> ubotu: i don't have windows on my system
[01:26] <xtknight> !bot | lachlan121
[01:26] <ubotu> lachlan121: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[01:26] <lachlan121> this ubuntu install was onto a clean harddrive
[01:26] <Stormx2> lachlan121: It doesn't matter.
[01:26] <Flannel> lachlan121: that doesn't matter, installing GRUB is the same.
[01:26] <blanky> tanubis: ?
[01:26] <Stormx2> lachlan121: Fact is, your bios can't boot grub...
[01:26] <Shane-S> how do I make eht0 use IPv4, not IPv6 via the Gnome GUI?
[01:26] <xtknight> Stormx2, that doesn't make much sense
[01:26] <Oritemis> guys, how do I open a root term?
[01:26] <tanubis> blanky: Analyze dropdown, display filter
[01:26] <Flannel> !ipv6 | Shane-S
[01:26] <ubotu> Shane-S: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[01:26] <Vik_> slavik: if i press "c" at the boot menu it takes me to "grub>"
[01:26] <Thehound666> oh and I have an nforce board if that's an issue
[01:26] <Flannel> Oritemis: sudo -i
[01:26] <lufis> Thehound666: hard drive failure, maybe?
[01:26] <Thehound666> an nforce2
[01:26] <blanky> thanks tanubis
[01:26] <cables> BIOS thtat can't boot grub = ???
[01:27] <finer> lifus: haha fixed it, in the login window prefrences, my "show actions menu" got unchecked somehow. all is good again
[01:27] <Flannel> Oritemis: but, do you really need a root terminal?
[01:27] <lufis> finer: ah, good :)
[01:27] <Thehound666> but why would Windows be 100% stable?
[01:27] <IndyGunFreak> Oritemis: just open a terminal and use the sudo command.
[01:27] <tanubis> blanky: then go down to TCP or UDP port is blah to see example syntax
[01:27] <xtknight> bios boots off the mbr, which is grub stage 1.  grub stage 1 is no diff than any other binary code, there is no such thing as a bios supporting grub or not
[01:27] <Thehound666> install for it is over 3 years old
[01:27] <lufis> Thehound666: windows doesn't check filesystems at boot, does it?
[01:27] <lilrayray> xtknight: Unfortunately, ubuntu would not boot with "nosmp" in the bootline
[01:27] <cables> Oritemis, sudo -i if you really need it...
[01:27] <Oritemis> Flannel, I am following a howto to ask for a root terminal.
[01:27] <Thehound666> no but I run chkdsk
[01:27] <Thehound666> as maintenence
[01:27] <xtknight> lilrayray, what happened?
[01:27] <Oritemis> and to not use sudo.
[01:27] <lufis> Thehound666: ah, well, i don't know
[01:27] <Flannel> Oritemis: Alright, well, `sudo -i` gets you one
[01:27] <cables> Oritemis, open a regular terminal and run "sudo -i" to turn it into a root terminal
[01:27] <tanubis> grr
[01:27] <Oritemis> ok, thank you guys!
[01:27] <cables> Oritemis, Ubuntu is designed to be used with sudo
[01:27] <tanubis> I can't figure out how to get this camera working
[01:28] <dragonriot> Sorry to ask again guys, but I stepped away from my machine after I asked and didn't have my scrollback buffer set up yet... I have 2.6.17-12 kernel installed now... and I'm trying to find the correct 686 based ubuntu kernel to install from synaptic... I have ALL repositories selected... which is the best 686 kernel version to use?
[01:28] <Flannel> dragonriot: the -generic one
[01:28] <IndyGunFreak> Oritemis: i question any "instructions' that tell you to use a root erminal, and not sudo.
[01:28] <xtknight> dragonriot, best for what?
[01:28] <lufis> goodbrain: you still there?
[01:28] <Flannel> dragonriot: linux-generic
[01:28] <lachlan121> wow i replied to a bot, i feel like such an idiot haha. anyway, xtknight, tanubis and stormx2, or anyone else interested in helping, can you please visit the thread i started http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=2275299#post2275299
[01:28] <Thehound666> and I was 1 step ahead lufis, I used a prog under windows that tests the read/write of the HDD
[01:28] <lilrayray> xtknight: At the splash screen the bar increased to about two mm and then stopped, dead in the water
[01:28] <goodbrain> Lufis: yes
[01:28] <dragonriot> Flannel, for a P4?
[01:28] <Thehound666> it came up fine
[01:28] <Flannel> dragonriot: yes.  There are no arch specific kernels anymore.  If you install any other one, all it does is drag in -generic
[01:28] <dragonriot> the generic kernel does not provide SMP
[01:28] <Flannel> dragonriot: yes it does
[01:28] <lufis> goodbrain: how many partitions do you have and what filesystems?
[01:28] <Thehound666> Western Digital 500 GB
[01:29] <Thehound666> main drive if that helps
[01:29] <xtknight> lilrayray, hrm odd problem .  HD is setup to boot first?
[01:29] <cables> Oritemis, it's probably safer to use sudo for each command you need to run as root, but like I said, sudo -i will do it for you. Just make sure you don't do anything dangerous while still in the root term.
[01:29] <xtknight> lilrayray, sorry ignore that msg, wrong person
[01:29] <cables> dragonriot, it definitely does.
[01:29] <Oritemis> IndyGunFreak, hummm, better to go to another howto? I am trying to config a internet connection share.
[01:29] <xtknight> lachlan121,   hrm odd problem .  HD is setup to boot first?
[01:29] <lachlan121> yep
[01:29] <Thehound666> fairly new, the 3 year old windows install was ghosted from an older drive
[01:29] <Flannel> dragonriot: the generic kernel loads in all the CPU specific optomizations at runtime
[01:29] <cables> Oritemis, just use sudo before every command you need to run as root.
[01:29] <Thehound666> which is now a slave
[01:29] <IndyGunFreak> Oritemis: if it specifically tells you not to use sudo, then yes
[01:29] <lachlan121> it is set as primiary master
[01:29] <xtknight> lachlan121, that does not mean it is set to boot first
[01:29] <lilrayray> xtknight: sooo, any other ideas?
[01:29] <goodbrain> lufis: i dont really know.  This might be where it fucked up; I didnt really know what i was doing when i partitioned this thing
[01:29] <blanky> tanubis: keeps complaining that I didn't choose an interface, but I did, eth0
[01:29] <xtknight> lachlan121, often times cdroms and floppies boot before Hd by default.  take out all cds and floppies then try?
[01:30] <Flannel> Oritemis, IndyGunFreak, a root prompt (sudo -i) is fine.  Even if it tells you not to use sudo, use sudo -i
[01:30] <lachlan121> xtknight: really?
[01:30] <xtknight> lachlan121, really
[01:30] <dragonriot> well... not to doubt you guys, but when I enable SMP in a hand built kernel, 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' returns 2 processors, but when I'm running the generic kernel, it only shows 1...
[01:30] <lufis> Thehound666: i dont know, if it keeps getting fs errors it sounds like a drive issue. is it multi-platter? maybe only one is messed up maybe?
[01:30] <Oritemis> IndyGunFreak, Flannel ok, I will.
[01:30] <tanubis> blanky: have you started to capture anything from eth0? and is eth0 up and running?
[01:30] <lufis> goodbrain: ah, well, one sec. let me try to figure this out
[01:30] <lachlan121> xtknight: i have tried it without cd roms and floppies with no success
[01:30] <SpudDogg> Does anyone know why I cannot change track info in Rhythmbox?  Every time I make a change I get "Error while saving song information; Internal GStreamer problem; file a bug"  *FRUSTRATED*
[01:30] <Thehound666> not sure on that. how would I check if it's multiplatter?
[01:30] <lufis> goodbrain: you said you can access everything, you just can't write to it, right?
[01:30] <xtknight> lachlan121, well try setting HD as the primary boot device.  it's defintiely in the bios somewhere
[01:30] <IndyGunFreak> Flannel: i guess i just disagree, sudo is sudo for a reason, if it was safe to use sudo -i, they'd just use Root accounts.
[01:30] <blanky> tanubis: eth0 is up and running, that's what I'm using for net, that's how I'm on here haha, I clicked on Capture > Start
[01:30] <lufis> SpudDogg: use amarok. :P
[01:30] <xtknight> lilrayray, you could try a nonsmp kernel perhaps.  i dont know.  when does it freeze though with both cores active?
[01:30] <dragonriot> Flannel and cables, well... not to doubt you guys, but when I enable SMP in a hand built kernel, 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' returns 2 processors, but when I'm running the generic kernel, it only shows 1...
[01:30] <dxdt> SpudDogg, known bug, pisses me off too.  :(  It only does it at random
[01:31] <lachlan121> xtknight: the very closest i came to progress was when i changed the plugs on my hd to cable select instead of master
[01:31] <cables> dragonriot, are you using Dapper?
[01:31] <dragonriot> Edgy
[01:31] <SpudDogg> dxdt: any talk of a fix/update for it?
[01:31] <dragonriot> cables ^^^^
[01:31] <Flannel> IndyGunFreak: For his purposes, where it says "not to use sudo", that's probably because he's piping commands and the HowTo writer doesn't know how to use tee.
[01:31] <cables> dragonriot, there may be some bug or exception, but generic works with 2 processors for me.
[01:31] <goodbrain> Lufis: here's my partitions as they show up:
[01:31] <cables> dragonriot, recognizes both.
[01:31] <dxdt> SpudDogg, I think I was the fourth person to file a bug report for it.... not sure where the update is.. probably next version
[01:31] <IndyGunFreak> Flannel: could be.
[01:31] <lufis> Thehound666: well with the drive being so large i would guess it's multiplatter
[01:31] <Thehound666> oh and could the fact I had a few power failures hurt ext3 more than ntfs
[01:31] <Flannel> IndyGunFreak: But, sudo -i is better than su, because it means you don't have to enable root
[01:31] <lilrayray> xtknight: it seems pretty random.  What is odd though, is that I was using only the command line and no X or gdm for a long time and it was perfectly stable
[01:31] <Thehound666> sorry for mentioning that critical thing
[01:31] <blanky> tanubis: I got it
[01:31] <tanubis> blanky: not sure why then...  I have a similar setup going right now monitoring a port
[01:31] <dragonriot> cables, did you do any custom config to your kernel or is it pure generic?
[01:32] <Thehound666> not mentioning*
[01:32] <tanubis> blanky: awesome :)
[01:32] <xtknight> lachlan121, i suspect a misconfiguration
[01:32] <IndyGunFreak> Flannel: you're probably right on that.
[01:32] <blanky> thanks tanubis
[01:32] <Theory5> what do i do on ubuntu server edition after i do the command sudo apt-get install apache2?
[01:32] <Theory5> where is it installed?
[01:32] <cables> Thehound666, they're both journalling, so they shouldn't have problems with ower failures
[01:32] <SpudDogg> dxdt: so for now I should use banshee or amarok then?
[01:32] <goodbrain> Lufis: Windows NTFS in /dev/hda1
[01:32] <xtknight> lilrayray, how did you deduce that it was the second core's problem?
[01:32] <cables> dragonriot, nope, out of the box.
[01:32] <lachlan121> i will have a look around in the bios, but i'm hnestly not very experienced in such things
[01:32] <lilrayray> xtknight: because I received identical problems in dapper when I enabled the second core
[01:32] <Flannel> Theory5: all over the place.  /etc/apache2 is the config files, which is probably what you're looking for.  `sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart` restarts it
[01:33] <Theory5> and then starts it?
[01:33] <GenNMX> My workstation's screen is frozen, even though X isn't running. How do I unfreeze it?
[01:33] <goodbrain> Lufis: Extended3 and Memory Swap in /dev/hdb5
[01:33] <Thehound666> if these incidents were isolated, should I reinstall or does fsck fix it well enough?
[01:33] <Theory5> im using the desktop for server edition
[01:33] <lufis> goodbrain: what is hdb? another drive?
[01:33] <Thehound666> it looks fine right now
[01:33] <dimeotane> how do I add to a multisession cd?  Both k3b and gnomebaker give me errors
[01:33] <xtknight> lilrayray, i dont know what to say.  odd problem.  any options for HPET in the bios?
[01:33] <Thehound666> but looks aren't always so
[01:33] <goodbrain> Lufis: yeah, there's two HDDs
[01:34] <Theory5> so how do i start apache2?
[01:34] <xtknight> lilrayray, also what's your motherboard, chipset, etc?
[01:34] <dxdt> dxdt, maybe, that's really the only bug so you could also use another program to change the info and then stick with RHythmbox if that's your first choice.  I'm waiting for songbird to mature and using Rhythmbox and Amarok mostly
[01:34] <lufis> goodbrain: ah, ok. windows is the hda1?
[01:34] <ardchoille> Theory5: sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 start
[01:34] <Theory5> k
[01:34] <lachlan121> xtknight: crap
[01:34] <dimeotane> anyone else have a problem appending to multisession cd-r discs?
[01:34] <goodbrain> lufis: it should be
[01:34] <Thehound666> I should use names in this heated room
[01:35] <lachlan121> xtknight: it tried to boot linux and gave me 'image checksum error, sorry'
[01:35] <blanky> hey guys there isn't any 'find in files' tool in gedit?
[01:35] <dragonriot> cables, if I use the 'debian Sid' repository to find the 2.6.20 kernel, it shows 486 and 686... no longer offering generic... are you saying I should be installing the 486 kernel?
[01:35] <lufis> goodbrain: which are you having trouble accessing? you can read all of them but not write, right?
[01:35] <whonicca> sorry to be a pain but whats the command to upgrade ur kernel to the latest one available?
[01:35] <xtknight> lachlan121, odd.
[01:35] <lachlan121> xtknight: and im positive i checksummed the iso before burning it
[01:35] <Thehound666> lufis: if these couple incidents were isolated after power failures, should I reinstall or does fsck fix things well enough?
[01:35] <lilrayray> xtknight: well, it is a Dell, so Im guessing intel motherboard (I think it is like the I945p or something), 2gb ddr2 Mushkin Ram and an nvidia 8800 gts (didnt have this in dapper)
[01:35] <q_> please, a good manual for configuring ubuntu 6.10 as router, thanks!
[01:35] <cables> dragonriot, I'm not too good at the kernel stuff, but I know that -generic is working with SMP for me.
[01:35] <xtknight> whonicca, sudo apt-get upgrade linux-image-generic
[01:35] <towsonu2003> what was the name of the text editor in xfce? thanks
[01:36] <lufis> Thehound666: dunno, if you don't have anything too critical on it, i wouldn't worry about it. if fsck isn't doing anything then i don't guess it's something to worry about
[01:36] <cables> towsonu2003, I think it's mousepad
[01:36] <ardchoille> towsonu2003: mousepad ?
[01:36] <goodbrain> lufis: I cant acces hda1 or my CDROM or DVDROM drive
[01:36] <Thehound666> lufis: If Ubuntu blows up, I have the ext3 utility on Windows, hope it's good
[01:36] <lufis> Thehound666: me too :P
[01:36] <ardchoille> cables: lol
[01:37] <Thehound666> it seemed to be in a breif test
[01:37] <xtknight> lachlan121, but how do you know the cd is ok?
[01:37] <Thehound666> pulled a game off Ubuntu
[01:37] <lufis> goodbrain: what do you mean by access? you can't read or write to either?
[01:37] <xtknight> lilrayray, really not sure.  try noacpi also that can disable SMP i think
[01:37] <lachlan121> i burned it at x1 if that makes any difference
[01:37] <Theory5> when i do that all it says is * usage /etc/init.d/gdm {start|stop|restart|reload|force reload} what do i do??
[01:37] <xtknight> lilrayray, instead of no smp try this: "acpi=off noacpi nolapic noapic"  sorry not sure if it's acpi=off or noacpi that's right, but it should work anyway
[01:37] <IndyGunFreak> lachlan121: have you tried the alternate install cd?
[01:37] <lachlan121> xtknight: are there any special checks i should make on the integrity of the cd?
[01:37] <Flannel> Theory5: `sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start`
[01:38] <xtknight> lachlan121, did you use the cd checker at the bootup of the ubuntu CD?
[01:38] <Flannel> Theory5: eh, might as well do restart, just incase it's already started
[01:38] <lilrayray> xtknight: ok, Ill try that thanks for the help
[01:38] <Theory5> thats what i did and it said what i just told u it sayd
[01:38] <lachlan121> indygunfreak: yes i have, and i've managed to install succesfully with that, it appears that booting is the problem
[01:38] <goodbrain> lufis: well my big problem here is with the CDROM, i can probably re-format the HDD and get it working, but the CD ROM has me stumped
[01:38] <lufis> goodbrain: what happens?
[01:38] <Flannel> Theory5: That's not what you did then.  You need the start on the end
[01:38] <whonicca> xtknight, ty
[01:38] <arrozconevan> im fckin retarded
[01:38] <Theory5> i put the start on the dend
[01:38] <xtknight> whonicca, sorry i think it's "install" instead of "upgrade" actually
[01:38] <lachlan121> xtknight: no, i didnt, i'll try that now
[01:39] <Thehound666> isn't it fsckin retarded?
[01:39] <Thehound666> >.>
[01:39] <Theory5>  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm apache2 start is what i typed and it said what i told u it said
[01:39] <towsonu2003> ardchoille, thanks a lot :)
[01:39] <Flannel> Theory5: no. No.
[01:39] <goodbrain> lufis: I have a disc in it now, it recognizes it as audio, lists the tracks and their length in the Disks manager, but it wont let me play the CD, as if the button doesnt function
[01:39] <Theory5> what then?
[01:39] <Flannel> Theory5: To restart apache, it's "sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart"
[01:39] <xtknight> lachlan121, it could be a hardware problem
[01:39] <Theory5> i tried that to
[01:39] <lufis> goodbrain: humm... what app are you using?
[01:39] <Theory5> got the same thing
[01:39] <Flannel> Theory5: to start GDM it's "sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart"
[01:39] <xtknight> lachlan121, like memory or HD setup
[01:39] <goodbrain> lufis: i get this error message a lot:
[01:40] <Theory5> so i got to restart gdm first?
[01:40] <Flannel> Theory5: no.
[01:40] <Theory5> then what?
[01:40] <Flannel> Theory5: I thought you were back trying to get a GUI
[01:40] <arrozconevan> brb and i will say why i am so retarded
[01:40] <Flannel> Theory5: just the apache2 thing
[01:40] <Theory5> the gui worked
[01:40] <Thehound666> I can try hdb by copying with Acronis and using gag. Does Acronis copy ext3 ok?
[01:40] <Scalarscience> if i have a server install on my harddrive that isn't booting, and i have booted to the desktop livecd, how do i mount the filesystem from the HD so i can check the logs and see where the kernel is dying?
[01:40] <Theory5> i tell u i typed what u said and it didnt work'
[01:40] <Flannel> Theory5: Did you type it with quotes? or without quotes?  And, in that same case?
[01:41] <Theory5> no quotes
[01:41] <tanubis> aight, I guess I'll give this one more shot: I've got a camera, it's a nexxtech VGA.  I've been trying to install it for about four hours...  I ran easyspcd to install camera drivers, downloaded camorama to test it with along with gnomemeeting.  When I connect it to the USB, it detects, but immediately gives device descriptor read/8, error -110
[01:41] <tanubis>  twice.  And I can't detect that I have any video capture hardware with gnomemeeting or camorama.  What can I try next?
[01:41] <goodbrain> Lufis: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/9738/
[01:41] <tallhairydad> How do I play streaming audio from a URL in an .asx format?
[01:41] <Vik_> ok so can anyone help me?!
[01:41] <lufis> goodbrain: k
[01:41] <lachlan121> xtknight: possibly. i just tried to boot the cd and it won't boot that either ( i still get the checksum error, despite telling the computer to boot from cd)
[01:41] <Flannel> Theory5: good, no quotes is good.  You installed apache2, right? not apache?
[01:41] <Theory5> yup
[01:41] <xtknight> Scalarscience, mount it (e.g. "sudo mkdir -p /mount/broken && sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mount/broken")   then look at /mount/broken/var/log/kern.log
[01:41] <Theory5> i typed what it said to type on the documentation on ubuntu.com
[01:41] <Scalarscience> ty xtnight
[01:41] <Flannel> Theory5: then `sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart` will restart apache
[01:42] <xtknight> lachlan121, i'd run memtest86.  actually that's on the ubuntu cd i think
[01:42] <Theory5> thank u i though u said  sudo /etc/init.d/gdm apache2 start
[01:42] <xtknight> lachlan121, your RAM might be 'broken'
[01:42] <Vik_> ubuntu gets to the slash screen but not any further what do i do?
[01:42] <lufis> tallhairydad: bear?
[01:42] <lachlan121> xtknight: but i cant get the live cd to boot now
[01:42] <jekson_> how can i mount an img file located in a network computer where is connected over samba
[01:42] <Theory5> now what?
[01:42] <Vik_> i have ZERO linux experience
[01:42] <q_> thanks guys, very helpful this ubuntu community :(
[01:43] <Theory5> now what do i do after i restart apache2?
[01:43] <Flannel> Theory5: Now... you've restarted apache.  Whatever changes you made to your config fiels are now in effect
[01:43] <lachlan121> xtknight: the live cd ran out of RAM without a hitch before, so if it malfuctioned it would have been within the last hour or so
[01:43] <tallhairydad> lufis yes
[01:43] <Scalarscience> xtknight: /dev/hda1 or /dev/hda0 ?
[01:43] <lufis> tallhairydad: me too :P
[01:43] <xtknight> Scalarscience, 1 for the first HD/partition
[01:43] <Scalarscience> k cheers
[01:43] <arrozconevan> lachlan: is it ok if i pm you?
[01:43] <lufis> q_: a lot of times people don't answer because they simply don't know. you can try ubuntuforums.org
[01:43] <Theory5> but i made no changes, all i did was install it
[01:43] <xtknight> lachlan121, yikes i dont know.
[01:43] <lachlan121> i wont be able to rpely
[01:43] <jekson_> how can i mount an img file where is located in a network computer
[01:43] <lachlan121> reply*
[01:43] <arrozconevan> can you pm me then
[01:43] <xtknight> q_, sarcasm or did you mean a happy face?
[01:43] <bruenig> !pm
[01:44] <ubotu> Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can also benefit. Please don't PM a user in the channel without asking first.
[01:44] <jekson_> how can i mount an img file where is located in a other network computer
[01:44] <AnDrEs_1104> HOLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
[01:44] <bruenig> !caps | AnDrEs_1104
[01:44] <ubotu> AnDrEs_1104: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[01:44] <Theory5> so where can i put my webpages and how do i make a domain name?
[01:44] <Vik_> WTFF!!!!!
[01:44] <bruenig> !hi | AnDrEs_1104
[01:44] <ubotu> AnDrEs_1104: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[01:44] <xtknight> chill
[01:44] <bruenig> !es | AnDrEs_1104
[01:44] <ubotu> AnDrEs_1104: Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[01:44] <arrozconevan> vete de este canal!
[01:44] <q_> plain sarcasm, when you feel touched you answered instantly......
[01:44] <arrozconevan> aqui hablamos ingles solamente!
[01:44] <arrozconevan> :)
[01:44] <xtknight> q_, how about telling us your question
[01:44] <Flannel> Theory5: You put your webpages in /var/www, like... uh, somene else already said.  Domain names you have to pay for, or use some free server (like dyndns)
[01:45] <AnDrEs_1104> OK OK
[01:45] <lachlan121> arrozconevan: im not a registered membe. you can pm me on the forums (my nick is 'rednut')
[01:45] <xtknight> rather than all this emo stuff ;P
[01:45] <AnDrEs_1104> JA JA JA
[01:45] <Theory5> i thought THIS ubuntu server edition is a server?
[01:45] <lufis> goodbrain: ok, try this: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab   put "defaults rw" in the /dev/hdd line after "iso"
[01:45] <Vik_> DOES ANYONE KOW ANYTHING HERE!!!!!!!!!
[01:45] <Flannel> Theory5: it is a server.  Domain names aren't somethingyou do on the server.
[01:45] <crimsun> Vik_: no
[01:45] <blanky> Vik_: what's the question
[01:45] <arrozconevan> ok, i just installed ubuntu from xp because i hate windows, but i know nothing about linux at all (i know...) and everything works fine except i can't change the resolution higher than 800*600 and I dont know why
[01:45] <bruenig> !attitude | Vik_
[01:45] <ubotu> Vik_: The people in this channel are volunteers. Your attitude will determine how fast you are helped. See also http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IrcGuidelines
[01:45] <arrozconevan> can anyone help?
[01:45] <xtknight> lachlan121, so nothing boots correctly?  fried mobo/psu?  :(
[01:46] <Theory5> so i got to pay to make a URL for MY server?
[01:46] <bruenig> !xconfig | arrozconevan
[01:46] <ubotu> arrozconevan: To reconfigure your X server, open a console and type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg  - To configure only the driver and resolution, type  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg -phigh  - See also !FixRes
[01:46] <blanky> arrozconevan: do you have a video card?
[01:46] <xtknight> lachlan121, could still be the ram too, not likely it's a cpu issue
[01:46] <blanky> arrozconevan: if so, then you might want to install your drivers, ati or nvidia?
[01:46] <IndyGunFreak> arrozconevan: follow bruenig's advice
[01:46] <jekson_> how can i mount on my laptop an img file where is located on my desktop computer.the computers are connected over samba
[01:46] <bruenig> ubotu's advice
[01:46] <Flannel> Theory5: You need to pay to get a real domain name, yes.  Because that's not done on your server.  You host on your server
[01:46] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about s advice - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[01:46] <Tonren> Can someone help me get sound working in DosBox?
[01:46] <xtknight> jekson_, best tihng to do is to copy the iso first.  then mount with "loop"
[01:46] <ShiftyPowers> anybody having trouble with the latest nvidia drivers not loading GLX module?
[01:47] <xtknight> jekson_, mount -t iso9660 -o loop  i believe, there's docs on it
[01:47] <IndyGunFreak> bruenig: well, you shared ubotu's wonderful wisdom with him...lol
[01:47] <bruenig> !iso
[01:47] <ubotu> To mount an ISO disc image, type  sudo mount -o loop <ISO-filename> <mountpoint>  - There is a list of useful cd image conversion tools at http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/CD_Image_Conversion - Always verify the ISO using !MD5 before !burning.
[01:47] <lachlan121> xtknigiht: im not sure what a mobo is, but i sincerely hope not.  if that is the case, then ubuntu officially hates me. I tried installing it on my last computer which exloded into flames, bought a new computer for the purpose of installing it, and now its dead also:(
[01:47] <jekson_> i know this options but exists any other
[01:47] <Theory5> so if i want people veiw stuff i put on my server i gotta pay?
[01:47] <goodbrain> lufis: so replace "iso9660  0  0" with "iso9660 defaults r w"?
[01:47] <xtknight> lachlan121, mobo is short for motherboard or mainboard
[01:47] <Vik_> seriuosly i just need help. slavic WAS helping but he dissappered. I'm trying to lean Linux and have no clue what i'm doing so i cant even help myself. It's a first for me and a very crappy feeling
[01:47] <lufis> goodbrain: yes, but not spaced between rw
[01:47] <daaku> anyone know how i can pipe binary data (bzip2 file) through ssh into a file on the remote host?
[01:47] <xtknight> goodbrain, i believe you mean "iso9660 defaults,rw 0 0"  0 0s need to be there
[01:47] <PriceChild> Theory5, you could use someone like no-ip.info or dyndns
[01:47] <arrozconevan> did i just paste something into this chat?:
[01:48] <xtknight> arrozconevan, no
[01:48] <arrozconevan> o ok thanks
[01:48] <PriceChild> Theory5, they will give you a freee "domain" (with their suffix) to point to your machine
[01:48] <Stormx2> lachlan121: Same CD/ISO uses?
[01:48] <Flannel> Theory5: no.  They can browse to your IP just fine.  And you can setup free DNS servers, which also work with dynamic IPs
[01:48] <Theory5> im really confused
[01:48] <lufis> xtknight: they're already there
[01:48] <sharyari> Hello
[01:48] <xtknight> Vik_, did you try the ubuntu books/guides online
[01:48] <jekson_> xtknight i know this options but exists any other
[01:48] <Theory5> thanks
[01:48] <Flannel> Theory5: If you want something like "theory.com", youll need to pay for it
[01:48] <lachlan121> xtknight: well, i don;t see why it should be broken. the computer is relatively new, and i got the impression thats its motherboard/chipset etc were all top of the line.
[01:48] <Theory5> but if i want somthing like blah blah blah.net i gotta pay?
[01:48] <arrozconevan> blanky can you pm me
[01:48] <Vik_> i tried but i got nothing
[01:48] <Tonren> Anyone?  Why would DosBox's sound not work?
[01:48] <xtknight> jekson_, not really.  it's not safe to mount an iso off a network source, really
[01:48] <lachlan121> stormx2: yes, im using the same cd as before
[01:48] <lufis> Tonren: dosbox? this is #ubuntu :P
[01:48] <bruenig> Theory5, you can't have spaces
[01:48] <sharyari> I just encountered somthing I doubt is normal ubuntu behavior... (probably not even ubuntu-related)
[01:48] <Theory5> i know
[01:49] <goodbrain> lufis: ok and then i just save it?
[01:49] <matthew1429> anyone any good with ffmpeg?  I just want to convert an asf file into mp3
[01:49] <Tonren> lufis: An operating system's worth is directly proportional to the applications which run on it.
[01:49] <lufis> goodbrain: yes, and then run sudo mount -a
[01:49] <xtknight> lachlan121, new stuff can be broken just as easily, unfortunately
[01:49] <bruenig> matthew1429, I thought asf was a video file container
[01:49] <lufis> Tonren: dosbox is an app?
[01:49] <Theory5> what about a .net do i have to pay for a domain name that ends in .net?
[01:49] <gesus> hey where could i find the launch file for a program (like .exe in windows) by default.  i am looking for the launch file for azerus so i can associate it with .torrent files.  thankyou.
[01:49] <xtknight> lachlan121, my friend just had a brand new videocard the other day that smoked
[01:49] <Flannel> Theory5: yes
[01:49] <Tonren> lufis: Yes!  It lets you run old DOS applications (particularly games) on Linux.
[01:49] <lufis> Tonren: oh, nevermind, sorry
[01:49] <jrib> !defaultapp | gesus
[01:49] <ubotu> gesus: To change the default application for a filetype in Nautilus, right-click on a file, select Properties -> Open With, and then change the setting. In Kubuntu, Konqueror -> Settings -> Configure and then hit "File Associations"
[01:49] <blanky> arrozconevan: I pm'ed you
[01:49] <Tonren> lufis: S'ok - you had good intentions, anyway!
[01:49] <bruenig> gesus, how did you install azureus, if through the repos, it is probably /usr/bin/azureus
[01:50] <matthew1429> bruenig: it is, but vlc will only save audio it rips from online to this format successfully
[01:50] <lufis> Tonren: i thought it was another dos clone
[01:50] <xtknight> gesus, type "which azureus"
[01:50] <sharyari> In the middle of playing Diablo II, my keyboard died and so I restarted the computer. Now after the grub boot, nothing happens, it doesn't boot anything. Does this sound familiar?
[01:50] <Theory5> so what was the free domain name site u talked about?
[01:50] <Flannel> Theory5: unless you want a subdomain somewhere.  [your-whatever] .something.net is available, there are a few dynamic, free, DNS servers out there
[01:50] <jekson_> xtknight this is possible when i use a command mount -t smbfs it's true
[01:50] <lufis> Tonren: as a stand-alone os
[01:50] <lachlan121> xtknight: damn:( having two comnputers do so in the space of three weeks is a bit of a pain though
[01:50] <arrozconevan> !xconfig arrozconevan
[01:50] <Flannel> Theory5: dyndns, no-ip, etc
[01:50] <xtknight> jekson_, well it is possible just not ideal.  but what is wrong with "mount -o loop" ?
[01:50] <arrozconevan> can someone do that thing again
[01:50] <PriceChild> Theory5, no-ip.info or dyndns
[01:50] <arrozconevan> i closed the window
[01:50] <eck> sharyari: i would check your hard drive
[01:50] <Tonren> lufis: Nope... it's a col Linux app
[01:50] <xtknight> lachlan121, hrm two computers are doing this?
[01:50] <bruenig> ubotu, tell arrozconevan about xconfig
[01:50] <lufis> Tonren: ah
