[07:44] <jrib> skavenge: Xorg -version
[07:44] <whadar> Spec: something like find *.* | xargs touch?
[07:44] <ddonky> mrDaniel - im troubleshooting why none of my players can play audio cds
[07:44] <skavenge> thanks
[07:44] <Paddy_EIRE> would love a utility to scan for apps grap there files and Dependencies then allow me to put on friends machine who does not have net access
[07:44] <oskude> uXp, if youre using a router, i would use a static ip address
[07:44] <fangorious> jakeg: this bug report has info about configuring youhttps://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-driver-i810/+bug/29880r chipset, and even mentions dual-head,
[07:44] <oskude> uXp, i mean a router that connects to the internet
[07:44] <Spec> whadar: just do: find . |xargs touch
[07:44] <jakeg> fang: great, thanks
[07:45] <jrib> Paddy_EIRE: I have the beginning of a python script for that somewhere...
[07:45] <NickaNicka> facugaich: thx
[07:45] <Paddy_EIRE> really
[07:45] <ardchoille> I am noticing that some app/script keeps writing <IP_ADDRESS> into my /etc/resolv.conf and that makes it so I can't connect to anything on the internet until I sudo sed -i 's/<IP_ADDRESS>//g' /etc/resolv.conf. Which app/script writes that into resolv.conf?
[07:45] <fangorious> jakeg: the dual-head is discussed here https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-driver-i810/+bug/26341
[07:45] <jakeg> fang: but that can't be found
[07:45] <Spec> Paddy_EIRE: you can, just grab them all/install them on one machine, and burn /var/cache/apt/archives to a cd
[07:45] <amadeo1988> in personal opinion would you guys say the best all around video player is for ubuntu?
[07:45] <jakeg> ok, that one works, ta
[07:45] <Paddy_EIRE> dont know much about programming although I would learn If it does what it says on the tin
[07:45] <Spec> Paddy_EIRE: put the cd into the other machine, mount the cd go into it, and do dpkg -i *.deb ... it'll install every single deb that your other host has installed
[07:45] <uXp> oskude:  if you need more info about it, its private, can't say it here ,come to server #uXps
[07:45] <jrib> Paddy_EIRE: but if you both use debian-based systems it's easier to use apt-zip
[07:46] <fangorious> amadeo1988: i like totem with the gstreamer backend, some people prefer totem with xine backend, some prefer mplayer
[07:46] <amadeo1988> Thanks Fangorious
[07:46] <oskude> uXp, well, i cant say much, thats all i know about resolv.conf... you may pm me...
[07:46] <jakeg> fang: does that mean that problem is patched if i install ubuntu and apt-get update it?
[07:46] <Paddy_EIRE> do I just run this command dpkg -i *.deb or what is the correct usage
[07:47] <snobbslakt> have anyone had problem installing libreadline4?
[07:47] <fangorious> amadeo1988: to get all the codecs for gstreamer, you'd want to enable the universe, multiverse, and restricted repos and install all the gstreamer10.0-plugins packages
[07:47] <Paddy_EIRE> apt-zip?
[07:47] <Paddy_EIRE> gonna look this up
[07:47] <Paddy_EIRE> this is my quest
[07:47] <fangorious> Paddy_EIRE: that dpkg command will install all the .deb packages in the current directory
[07:48] <Paddy_EIRE> that sounds like an awesome command
[07:48] <fangorious> jakeg: i didn't actually read the bug report
[07:48] <Paddy_EIRE> have u got a list of those commands somewhere
[07:48] <uXp> oskude:  i can't PM, weird
[07:48] <jrib> Paddy_EIRE: it's in the universe repository, I never used it but the man page makes it look simple enough
[07:48] <dooglus> uXp: you need to register with nickserb
[07:48] <Paddy_EIRE> and there descriptions
[07:48] <dooglus> uXp: you need to register with nickserv
[07:48] <uXp> lo, hold on\
[07:48] <Jesus> KJ-ro: try: $ sudo apt-get install unrar-nonfree
[07:48] <JamesRasmussen> I keep getting this error with the 32bit version of ubuntu 4294671.209000 MP-BIOS bug:8254 timer not connected to IO - APIC though my 64bit version doesn't say it
[07:49] <fangorious> jakeg: but iregardless you should keep up to date, you should get a notification area icon when there are updates available. or you can go to System->Administration->Update Manager to check
 k, nice one whats the name of the script
[07:49] <fangorious> Paddy_EIRE: 'man dpkg'
[07:49] <uXp> dooglus:  i forgot to log in, oops
[07:49] <stefg> JamesRasmussen: this is not an error, just an information
[07:49] <JamesRasmussen> does anyone know what MP-BIOS bug: 8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC means
 nice one, this channel rocks
[07:50] <uXp> still can't, wtf
[07:50] <fangorious> :)
[07:50] <JamesRasmussen> stefg - when i tried to check for defects it would hang at that
[07:50] <jrib> Paddy_EIRE: apt-zip is the package's name
[07:50] <fangorious> Paddy_EIRE: man gives you the manual for most commands, so if you're ever not sure of the syntax, try that.
[07:50] <Jeeves_> JamesRasmussen: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-77021.html
[07:50] <JamesRasmussen> stefg - i let it sit there for like 10min thinking it would check the rest of the disc for problems
[07:50] <uXp> oskude:  so if i were to setup a static IP adress, IP would be the IP what about the Subnetmask and Gateway?
[07:51] <fangorious> Paddy_EIRE: also you can use --help with almost anything (dpkg --help)
[07:51] <Spec> Paddy_EIRE: or you could use 'info'
[07:51] <Paddy_EIRE> patrick@patrick-desktop:~$ apt-zip
[07:51] <Paddy_EIRE> bash: apt-zip: command not found
[07:51] <Paddy_EIRE> patrick@patrick-desktop:~$ sudo apt-zip

[07:51] <Paddy_EIRE> patrick@patrick-desktop:~$
[07:51] <stefg> JamesRasmussen: so read what it says: your BIOS is buggy, (or the CD is bad)
[07:51] <Spec> !paste
[07:51] <ubotu> 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 (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[07:51] <fangorious> Spec: i never could figure out how to navigate info pages
[07:51] <Paddy_EIRE> what do i need to specify
[07:51] <Paddy_EIRE> oops
[07:51] <oskude> uXp, "ifconfig" command would show what those are atm
[07:51] <Spec> fangorious: with the arrow keys and the enter button and sometimes the space bar
[07:51] <jrib> Paddy_EIRE: you need to install it using apt-get or synaptic, it should be available if you have enabled the universe repository
[07:51] <Spec> fangorious: i think :p (i use man)
[07:51] <JamesRasmussen> stefg - i tried two different cd's that i burned
[07:52] <wiking> please help me to install Yahoo messanger! Plz
[07:52] <Paddy_EIRE> k, i have
[07:52] <amadeo1988> fangorious can i install gstreamer with totem using synaptics?
[07:52] <fangorious> Spec: it was going back to the page i came from that stumped me
[07:52] <jrib> Paddy_EIRE: then just type 'man apt-zip'
[07:52] <JamesRasmussen> stefg - i burned them at low speed also
[07:52] <fangorious> amadeo1988: it should be installed as part of the default system
[07:52] <stefg> JamesRasmussen: so prolly the download is bad... compare the md5's with the ones on the download sites
[07:52] <Guest477> gstreamer is buggy, xine plays well
[07:52] <Guest477> Ogle for DVDs also
[07:52] <wiking> anybody!
[07:52] <oskude> uXp, but i dont know if youre using a router or "calling" directly to internet with linux

[07:53] <fangorious> uXp: yes
[07:53] <leagris> Is Ubuntu suitable to meet a nice boyfriend? :D
[07:53] <Paddy_EIRE> should have turned to Linux a long time ago
[07:53] <fangorious> amadeo1988: gstreamer doesn't use w32codecs
[07:53] <Guest477> wilking>apps> internet> GAIM

[07:54] <ForeClosure> where can i dload codecs for mplayer and xine ?
[07:54] <stefg> because that download was good? ....

[07:54] <jrib> gstreamer0.10-pitfdll lets gstreamer use w32codecs, but I find xine or mplayer work better anyway
[07:54] <DarkProphet> when will the blender deb be updated ?
[07:54] <Spec> fangorious: hmmm.... :p
[07:54] <KJ-ro> jesus: ctrl+z.... lol ... sry just a joke :D
[07:54] <kmilo> leagris, maybe in #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:54] <JamesRasmussen> stefg - why do i continues run into problems when trying to get linux to work?
[07:55] <DarkProphet> 2.42 is out...the synaptic is still on 2.41
[07:55] <fangorious> amadeo1988: then install every gstreamer10.0-plugin- package you can find. The only thing I haven't been able to play is ecrypted WMV9 files
[07:55] <leagris> kmilo, thanks, no need to compile him first :)
[07:55] <jrib> !release > DarkProphet
[07:55] <Jesus> KJ-ro: try: $ sudo apt-get install unrar-nonfree
[07:55] <jakeg> fang: fine re. staying up to date, but i'm just on a liveCD here testing my hardware
[07:55] <DarkProphet> jrib: thats got nothing to do with ubuntu...i know how to use it and I know its dev cycle
[07:55] <thompa> how can i resize a windows partition on a seperate hard drive for storage partition
[07:55] <DarkProphet> but why aren't the packages updated ?
[07:55] <stefg> JamesRasmussen: maybe because you have a tendency to let others think for you.... can be troublesome and dangerous :-)
[07:55] <jakeg> ... and i just found out what i was wishing for.... my sitecom usb->vga adapter will work!!! http://www.winischhofer.eu/sisforum/viewtopic.php?p=255&sid=c991e807852c339d3fa4594d029cf176

[07:56] <ubotu> Ubuntu releases a new version every 6 months. Each version is supported for 18 months to 5 years. More info at http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/releases & http://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases
[07:56] <fangorious> jakeg: ah.
[07:56] <jakeg> ... i see a red rectangle on the screen when i plug it in, which aparently means it will work

[07:56] <fangorious> well, i need food, later folks
[07:56] <sri_> pppoe_dude, it is impossible??
[07:56] <pppoe_dude> DarkProphet, new versions of programs are generally released with new ubuntu releases
[07:56] <jakeg> fang: a bit worrying though is that i don't see the red rectangle on the laptop's screen
[07:56] <Guest477> no voice chat or files transfers from

[07:57] <pppoe_dude> sri_, ekiga, skype,
[07:57] <JamesRasmussen> stefg - no, i've been to there site i didn't see anything ont he mp_bios issue they are talking about clocks speeding up when i can't even see the desktop at this point and time because of video card drivers
[07:57] <thompa> im trying gparted
[07:57] <sri_> pppoe_dude, it is another messenger?
[07:57] <jrib> DarkProphet: it does have to do with ubuntu.  Ubuntu makes a stable release every 6 months.  After, that only security updates are provided for that release
[07:57] <pppoe_dude> sri_, ekiga ships with ubuntu
[07:57] <pppoe_dude> sri_, yes
[07:57] <sri_> pppoe_dude, what about skype
[07:57] <Shak-> just passed the "select and install" step, the screen has turned black except for two gray blocks in the middle, is this normal?
[07:58] <pppoe_dude> sri_, www.skype.com
[07:58] <sri_> pppoe_dude, can i go through synaptic
[07:58] <Shak-> been like that for about 5 minutes now
[07:58] <JamesRasmussen> stefg - I tried the 64bit version and ran into problems with the video card driver so i tried to install fglrx at which i thought i was succesful till it said the package was not installed after asking me 20 questions
[07:58] <pppoe_dude> sri_, you can go throught dpkg
[07:58] <pppoe_dude> *through
[07:58] <DShepherd> Shak-: i dont think this is normal. Are you using the desktop install or the alternate install?
[07:58] <amadeo1988> when i decided to install packages on synaptics, and it asks me to confirm it, is there a way i can see how much its going to download?
[07:59] <Shak-> DShepherd: I used the alternate install cd with text mode
[07:59] <sri_> pppoe_dude, what is the cmd for it?
[07:59] <pppoe_dude> !skype
[07:59] <ubotu> To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Skype To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[07:59] <sri_> pppoe_dude, sudo apt-get install skype??
[07:59] <jrib> DarkProphet: you may be able to request a backport of your program from the edgy release though.  Check the forums backports requests section
[07:59] <pppoe_dude> sri_, follow the link that ubotu gave
[07:59] <tich> i now have both ubuntu and xubuntu desktops installed. how do i get xubuntu to run instead of ubuntu?
[07:59] <JamesRasmussen> sri - no it's not a package
[07:59] <DShepherd> Shak-: oh.. :-S.. i dont know why this is happening. did you check the md5sum?
[07:59] <jrib> tich: click on options > session options at the login screen

[08:00] <stefg> JamesRasmussen: Ati on 64bit is problematic... blame ati for not being able to release a proper driver. And check if you download of the 32bit version is good by comparing the md5-sum of your download to the one stated on the d/l-site.

[08:28] <Infern0o> Can anybody please help me with getting my ubuntu wireless with wep encryption working? (it works on unsecured network)
[08:28] <FeestBijtje> Any one here knows how to setup an eggdrop bot?
[08:28] <ForeClosure> can i run irc clients for KDE ? (im using gnome)
[08:28] <FeestBijtje> ForeClosure, KDE has XChat2
[08:28] <ThunderStruck> FeestBijtje: try in #ubuntu-offtopic
[08:28] <ForeClosure> ohh
[08:28] <[Ex0r] > ForeClosure- only if you have kde installed
[08:29] <ThunderStruck> ForeClosure: yes you can
 try sudo apt-get intall ksirc
[08:29] <ardchoille> ForeClosure: Yes, you can run kde apps in gnome and vice-versa
[08:29] <Anti-Tedd> Are any of the ubuntu repos down?
[08:29] <Anti-Tedd> Or is it just me?
 although not as good as xchat-gnome
[08:29] <_Caleb_> and u can run both kde and gnome apps in fluxbox
[08:29] <ThunderStruck> Anti-Tedd: no none of the official repos are down
[08:29] <ForeClosure> thank you
[08:29] <ardchoille> m1ckeyknox: sudo eject /dev/<device> is what I use to eject a cd
[08:29] <Pupeno> In what file do I put environment variables for all users ?
[08:30] <ToHellWithGA> i'd like to install a packaged of ktorrent but it has a conflict with the builtin bittorrent in ubuntu.  the official bittorrent is crap, but it looks like trying to remove it might remove ubuntu-desktop (which i probably need).  what can i do?
[08:30] <ToHellWithGA> *package
[08:30] <Spec> Pupeno: either /etc/profile or /etc/bash.bashrc
[08:30] <_Caleb_> use azureus
[08:30] <m1ckeyknox> ardchoille: thank you.
[08:30] <Spec> Pupeno: i don't remember which one ... one is not used on all logins
[08:30] <ForeClosure> i wanna do is .. connect to multiple server using only 1 irc client
[08:30] <Paddy_EIRE> ktorrent should work mate
[08:31] <nubuntu> does ubuntu keep a cache of all its pacakges, can i delete the downloads?
[08:31] <JamesRasmussen> should i download the alternate cd and install that rather than the livecd if i am having problems with that? the 64bit i have no video output which i tried to install fglrx and it told me in the end it wasn't installed and the 32bit version gives me a MP-bios error
[08:31] <Spec> ForeClosure: i do that with xchat
[08:31] <Spec> nubuntu: yes
[08:31] <Spec> nubuntu: apt-get clean
[08:31] <nubuntu> thx
[08:31] <ForeClosure> Spec: i cant see any options for that
[08:31] <Spec> nubuntu: it's kept at: /var/cache/apt/archives
[08:31] <Spec> ForeClosure: ctrl+t = new server tab
[08:31] <nubuntu> eh..that took 1 second, and i still have 6.6gb used by ubuntu
[08:31] <ToHellWithGA> Paddy_EIRE: the version packaged with ubuntu has very few features, while the beta (which has been independently packaged for kubuntu) has features.
[08:32] <Paddy_EIRE> ahh
[08:32] <nubuntu> Spec, hm its empty...
[08:32] <Spec> nubuntu: if you did the clean command, of course it is :p
[08:32] <nubuntu> well it saved no space, how can i free up space :(
[08:32] <Paddy_EIRE> try installing Kubuntu-desktop then apt for ktorrent
[08:32] <Ninja> what is the commdand do delete folders that need you to be root ?
[08:32] <ForeClosure> Spec: its not working
[08:32] <JamesRasmussen> can i get someone who is very or experienced to help me
[08:33] <nvez> Ninja, sudo rm -rf folder/
[08:33] <m1ckeyknox> nubuntu: try apt-get clean
 experience is all relative just ask mate
[08:33] <JamesRasmussen> well i've tried to fix stuff but i keep running into problems
[08:33] <Mysta> If I install Opera from Add/Remove, how do I verify that I'm installing the latest release before hand?
[08:33] <RvGaTe> Probably a stupid question, but how do i shut ubuntu down? hybernate seems to lock up the system after booting again...
[08:33] <nubuntu> m1ckeyknox, yes i just did that...6.6gb
 what's the prob
[08:34] <ForeClosure> Spec: any ideas why its not working ?
[08:34] <m1ckeyknox> nubuntu: eh... just a guess. ;-)
[08:34] <JamesRasmussen> at first i tried the livecd 64bit version at which when trying to install it gave me no video output and i thinnk i heard ubuntu booting up
[08:34] <Spec> ForeClosure: nope, works for me here
[08:34] <JamesRasmussen> it gave me an error i think about 3d acceleration
[08:34] <mwe> RvGaTe: don't use hibernate until you have fixed it, use shut down instead
 apt-get install kubuntu-desktop then apt-get intall ktorrent should be just the ticket
[08:34] <JamesRasmussen> than brought me to a like place where you enter sudo commands
[08:35] <ForeClosure> Paddy_EIRE: ktorrent ?
[08:35] <JamesRasmussen> so i tried to install flgrx
[08:35] <RvGaTe> mwe, there is no shutdown... :s
[08:35] <JamesRasmussen> and reconfigure it
[08:35] <m1ckeyknox> thoughts on how to change what /cdrom/ is pointing to? I have two cd-rom drives.... and it's pointing to the one that can't read cd-rs for some reason
 ahhh , oops
[08:35] <mwe> RvGaTe: huh? in the menu, or right click the desktop?
[08:35] <nubuntu> oh i freed up a bunch of space :)
[08:36] <RvGaTe> mwe, only things i can find it: Logout, Lock screen, Switch user, Hybernate
[08:36] <mwe> RvGaTe: at least in kde it's 'log out' then shut down
[08:36] <mwe> RvGaTe: logout
[08:36] <Guest477> in GnomeBaker the BurnFree option >appears< to be similar to JustLink
 whats the card
[08:36] <mwe> RvGaTe: then shut down
[08:36] <JamesRasmussen> Paddy_EIRE ATi X800XL
 damn ati cards, ihave a guide for that somewhere wait a moment
[08:37] <mwe> RvGaTe: did it show?
[08:37] <bob_> how can i change resolution from 640x480 to a resolution in my xorg.conf?
[08:37] <RvGaTe> mwe, seems to be located at the login screen...
[08:37] <__mikem> I use ati cards for target practice
[08:37] <mwe> RvGaTe: you should be able to shut down directly from gnome
[08:37] <RvGaTe> mwe, not really an obvious place to look for it if you ask me...
[08:37] <_Caleb_> anyone using a laptop in here
[08:37] <Spec> bob_: you could attempt to do: ctrl+alt++, but i'm not sure if that'll work or not (if not +, use num-pad +)
[08:37] <RvGaTe> mwe, yeah there was a button Shutdown
[08:37] <_Caleb_> and has their video working great
[08:37] <JamesRasmussen> Paddy_EIRE - I saw the guide on there forums but i was told to try the flgrx first i guess
[08:38] <bob_> nothing
[08:38] <Spec> _Caleb_: there are many hundreds of people here -- i'm sure some of them are on laptops
[08:38] <_Caleb_> i hope
[08:38] <_Caleb_> i just need to see about the right xorgt driver
[08:38] <JamesRasmussen> Paddy_EIRE - what i tried to do https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/hardware.html the part about ATi cards
[08:38] <RvGaTe> mwe, thx for the typ tho, im shutting down :P
[08:39] <mwe> RvGaTe: yw
[08:39] <mwe> RvGaTe: try kde if you don't like gnome
[08:39] <RvGaTe> i like gnome... just dont like kde
[08:39] <RvGaTe> :P
[08:39] <JamesRasmussen> Paddy_EIRE - at which in the end it gave me an error after selecting 24bit video telling me that the flgrx packet was not installed.

[08:54] <acad> in numeric form
[08:54] <JamesRasmussen> can anyone help me install this guide http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=204910
[08:54] <Spec> acad: a+r, o = others (not owner and group)
[08:54] <BaadPete> seanism: i think it's pretty much the same as the more common 8421-WD, "Silver" one
[08:54] <Infecto> Infern0o: != Infecto
[08:54] <seanism> yes, BaadPete also http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?t=241067
[08:54] <acad> Spec do you know the number for that
[08:54] <Infern0o> Spec: ok, i entered both commands
[08:54] <BaadPete> seanism: ooh, cheers - didn't find those
[08:54] <Spec> !permissions
[08:54] <ubotu> The files and directories on an Ubuntu system are organized according to a standard, see http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesystem-Hierarchy/html - file permissions are explained at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FilePermissions - All filenames and directory names (and many other things) are case sensitive in Linux
[08:54] <Spec> it's really easy to understand the wiki: FilePermissions
[08:55] <seanism> hopefully that will help
[08:55] <Spec> Infern0o: dhclient wlan0
[08:55] <Spec> Infern0o: does it get an IP?
[08:55] <seanism> it looks like the prism chipset which has been ported to linux
[08:55] <BaadPete> seanism: ah, yes, it says "Oh, and none of this works with kernel 2.6, so don't waste your time. You need kernel 2.4."
[08:55] <BaadPete> :P
[08:55] <seanism> ahah
[08:55] <nubuntu> hello friends
[08:55] <nubuntu> why is XEN so popular?
[08:55] <seanism> perhaps you can rebuild ubuntu with a earlier kernel
[08:55] <nubuntu> does it virtualize kernel and user code on the host cpu?
[08:56] <seanism> or install an older version of ubuntu, BaadPete ?
[08:56] <BaadPete> urgh.
[08:56] <seanism> haha ya
[08:56] <seanism> got to love linux
[08:56] <Infern0o> Spec: discover's but no connect
[08:56] <markit86> nubuntu: because it is good
[08:56] <nubuntu> but why
[08:56] <seanism> i installed ubuntu and got compriz working and what not
[08:56] <Spec> Infern0o: hmm, i'm not sure what to tell you then :-/
[08:56] <snoops> nubuntu basically something along those lines - after cpu's added the -1 level ring hypervisors like xen.. well it's all yay
[08:56] <seanism> but I ended up just deleting the partition with it installed.  Its better to install it to a desktop
[08:57] <BaadPete> serves me right for not doing my research. I got it about a year ago under the assumption that Orinoco == good for linux
[08:57] <Spec> nubuntu: it doesn't virtualize anything i don't think, i think it allows the sharing of the resources between two OSes
[08:57] <markit86> nubuntu: its practically the best performance wise and you cant over allocate memory
[08:57] <Infern0o> Spec: the weird thing is, it works just fine with no wep, so it's totally the cause of the wep key that it's not connecting
[08:57] <Spec> nubuntu: instead of having a virtual processor, it allows both OSes access to the real cpu
[08:57] <nubuntu> Spec, how does it compare to qemu + kqemu
[08:57] <sola6662> jrib i dont know where can i find that info?
[08:57] <mnp_> spec: did you have any other ideas on how to get alsamixer up?
[08:57] <snoops> I personally can't wait until I just hit ctrl+alt+cltr+alt then f2 for example to switch to antoher os running on the same machine
[08:57] <Spec> nubuntu: i would assume it's more effecient since there's no virtualization layer
[08:57] <nubuntu> Spec, hm
[08:57] <adam__> Hi all, i am having a problem with running Java Applets in firefox under ubuntu linux, when I go to a page that runs an applet it kills the browser or only displays parts of the applet. Any ideas?
[08:57] <Spec> mnp_: did you delete the .alsa directory in your home folder?
[08:58] <chripher> kan somebody help how to make a bootdisk fore ubuntu/ win xp
[08:58] <JamesRasmussen> i think i am giving up on linux cause i can't get it to work and no one can really help me
[08:58] <nubuntu> Spec, it requires a special kernel right?  hows binary driver compatibility with these special kernels?  nvidia?
[08:58] <kmilo> chripher, you can boot from the ubuntu cdrom
[08:58] <seanism> chripher, do you not have a boot loader installed?
[08:58] <saxin_> JamesRasmussen, what is wrong?
[08:58] <Spec> nubuntu: not sure, i've only set it up in vmware
[08:58] <mnp_> spec: i dont know how to do that
[08:58] <xordae> hey guys.. is the Dapper 6.06 still as fast as the flight versions?
[08:58] <seanism> ya the live cd should work right?
[08:58] <snoops> nubuntu check out hypervisors and amd's/intel's technology for it - pacifica for amd and VT for intel
[08:58] <JamesRasmussen> a series of things
[08:58] <saxin_> JamesRasmussen, like?
[08:58] <chripher> kmilo: how
[08:58] <Spec> mnp_: ls -hal ~/|grep -i alsa
[08:58] <nubuntu> snoops, would xen work properly on a pentium3?
[08:58] <JamesRasmussen> with the 64bit version i get an error i think about 3d and it brings me to a screen where i enter sudo commands
[08:59] <Spec> mnp_: pastebin the results of that and send me the link
[08:59] <adam__> i suspect it is a problem with the JVM rather than firefox as i have tried pages in opera and get only parts of the applet displayed
[08:59] <mnp_> okay
[08:59] <kmilo> chripher, booting from the cdrom device
[08:59] <JamesRasmussen> at which i tried to fix that problem by installing the flgrx driver like it told me on the site
[08:59] <saxin_> JamesRasmussen, try the 32bits version
[08:59] <markit86> nubuntu: yeah, but its not going to be fast
[08:59] <JamesRasmussen> than i was told to try the 32bit version
[08:59] <mnp_> okay there are no results
[08:59] <kmilo> chripher, what did you want to do with it?
[08:59] <mnp_> it just did it
[08:59] <BaadPete> what kernel version does Xubuntu use?
[08:59] <JamesRasmussen> than it tells me MP-Bios error
[08:59] <snoops> nubuntu intel started with VT support from the pentium d 9xx series.. amd started pacifica support from the socket am series
[09:00] <paska> argh, cant even get rid of the menu
[09:00] <saxin_> JamesRasmussen, strange..
[09:00] <paska> jesus
[09:00] <JamesRasmussen> after trying two different burns they both say the same thing
[09:00] <nubuntu> ok, so my hardware is too old to do the real cool stuff...
[09:00] <JamesRasmussen> lol what's too old for linux
[09:00] <chripher> kmilo: yes but it want start grub properly when I have installed
[09:00] <nubuntu> im going to compare vmware player to qemu+kqemu tonight for xp guest
[09:00] <chripher> kmilo: is private msg allowed here
[09:00] <mnp_> Spec: i ran the  ls -hal ~/|grep -i alsa command, and there are no results.
[09:00] <JamesRasmussen> i have come to the point where i want to drop kick my ubuntu cd's
[09:00] <mnp_> it just gives me another prompt
[09:00] <markit86> nubuntu: it will run, but don't expect to run 2+ operating systems concurrently with no slowdown
[09:00] <kmilo> chripher, no
[09:01] <Spec> mnp_: ok
[09:01] <facugaich> chriper: you have to register
[09:01] <nubuntu> markit86, well xp already runs near native speed with kqemu
[09:01] <Spec> mnp_: there's some folder in there that's related to alsa, maybe it's just .asound
[09:01] <chripher> facugaich: ?
[09:01] <Spec> mnp_: try: ls -hal ~ |grep -i as
[09:01] <sola6662> i just be useing a fearly old version of ubuntu dont now how to upgrade
[09:01] <facugaich> chripher: /msg nickserv REGISTER <pass> <email>
[09:01] <kmilo> chripher, grub-install /dev/fd0
[09:02] <markit86> nubuntu: xen won't run xp without hardware virtualisation included in the new intel chips
[09:02] <nubuntu> ah
[09:02] <JamesRasmussen> why won't ubuntu just install like it supposed to everyone else has no problems but of course i do
[09:02] <chripher> kmilo: can I do that in live
[09:02] <mnp_> spec: there is no folder related to also there
[09:02] <nubuntu> markit86, well you've been quite useful in saving me time
[09:02] <markit86> np
[09:02] <finalbeta> Hmmm, my ATI card fan didn't start running this boot, guess I'll be crashing soon.
[09:02] <kmilo> chripher, AFAIK yes
[09:02] <nubuntu> markit86, if you've never tried qemu+kqemu i suggest you try it, it flies
[09:02] <facugaich> kmilo: that one installs a bare grub, not vert easy to use
[09:02] <crimsun> mnp_: according to your lsmod output and your claim to have intel8x0 hardware, the correct drivers /are/ loaded. What's the real issue?
[09:02] <Spec> nubuntu: no 3d accelleration
[09:02] <JamesRasmussen> finalbeta - say bye to your video card
[09:03] <nubuntu> Spec, xen does 3d accell?
[09:03] <Spec> nubuntu: i don't know.
[09:03] <chripher> kmilo: grub is installed but do nott recognize how too boot from my hp370 chips so therefore I want to boot grub with fd
[09:03] <kmilo> chripher, but you will get the grub from the live
[09:03] <nubuntu> hm
[09:03] <Spec> nubuntu: if it shared it's hardware though, and wasn't virtualizing ... it would make sense if it could
[09:03] <markit86> nubuntu: i believe if you set the config right it would
[09:03] <Spec> nubuntu: if you want to read up on it, i'm sure there's docs out there, look for "hypervisors" i think
[09:03] <kmilo> chripher, did you lost the grub from you ubuntu and now don't boot?
[09:03] <Shak-> are there any video codec packages that will do xvid, divx and all the other popular ones?
[09:03] <m1ckeyknox> sendmail not installed with ubuntu server?
[09:03] <Linuturk> I need lots of special fonts
[09:03] <Spec> !restrictedformats > Shak-
[09:04] <JamesRasmussen> i think to be able to even get close to installing ubuntu on my comp and it working i need the 1337est person in the world
[09:04] <Linuturk> !fonts
[09:04] <ubotu> Font installation basics here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FontInstallHowto
[09:04] <ubotu> No fonts in flash? Install msttcorefonts, gsfonts, and gsfonts-x11 , No fonts in mplayer? see !mplayer

[09:05] <albertox23> hola a todos, alguien sabe como hacer un cluster en UBUNTU SERVER 6.10

[09:05] <Spec> mnp_: human readable, all files, long listing
[09:06] <Shak-> has anyone installed kismet before? wondering if im gonna have to build from source
[09:06] <Spec> mnp_: human readable = megs/kbs, instead of bits
[09:06] <Spec> or bytes
[09:06] <facugaich> albertox23, ubotu is a bot ;)
[09:06] <Hoovey> Kismet is okay
[09:06] <Hoovey> I don't use it much
[09:06] <Spec> Shak-: there's 830 people here, i'ms ure one of them has installed it before
[09:06] <linuxgoober> where is x.conf located i did a locate x.conf and can't find anything
[09:06] <mnp_> spec: thanks. still cant find the folder you are looking for. maybe that means its already deleted from the rm command you gave me before
[09:06] <Spec> mnp_: have you tried alsamixer after that?
[09:07] <mnp_> alsamixer: function snd_ctl_open failed for default: No such device
[09:07] <Shak-> well, I just got the .deb file from ubuntu's package repository, but its barking about dependencies
[09:07] <mnp_> spec: thats what i get from the terminl window
[09:07] <Spec> mnp_: i got that bug a while back because ubuntu wrote a config for alsa (i'm looking for the real name), and the config was what made that message, not having any configs worked
[09:07] <Alex0r> yeah
[09:07] <ardchoille> Shak-: kismet is in the universe repo
[09:07] <mnp_> okay
[09:07] <richard_> trying 6.06 on my dell d820, I can't get the wireless to work (ipw3945)... It looks all is setup ok, but the wireless wont detect the AP
[09:07] <Shak-> ardchoille: yeah, I got the .deb file from there
[09:07] <Alex0r> Is it worth installing SUSE? sorry if it's offtopic but
[09:07] <Alex0r> I'm wondering
[09:07] <chripher> kmilo: I have a grub boot disk that I used with suse can you help me to convert it to ubuntu
[09:07] <facugaich> linuxgoober: I guess you're looking for /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:08] <Kgee> hey guys, I ran across this: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/TheFalloftheKing and figured it should go here.
[09:08] <Alex0r> don't edit that unless you know what you're doing
[09:08] <mnp_> spec: i dont have any sound though. the speaker icond on the top gives me errors when i double click it. totem closes when i try and launch a file.
[09:08] <Shak-> ardchoille: isnt it just a matter of sudo dpkg?
[09:08] <linuxgoober> ok thanx facugaich
[09:08] <ardchoille> Alex0r: Call me a zealot if you want, but the only distro anyone needs is Ubuntu, IMHO :)
[09:08] <mnp_> can someone tell me how to register to send PMs
[09:08] <Alex0r> Hehe, okay
[09:08] <Alex0r> Yeah, I'm on ubuntu

[09:10] <maxL> Hiya.

[09:10] <Shak-> hmm kismet isnt on synpatic ?
[09:10] <JamesRasmussen> where do i type linux noacpi acpi=off
[09:10] <kmilo> chripher, but the ubuntu grub can boot your pc?
[09:10] <Spec> media_: add an entry for them to be able to sudo shutdown with NOPASSWD:, and then add an alias for them: alias shutdown='sudo shutdown'
[09:10] <nubuntu> Redrose, go to the System->administration->networking and select the right one as the gateway device?
[09:10] <chripher> kmilo: no
[09:10] <richard_> since the install didn't set up the wlan drive correctly, I downloaded the updated driver/firmware/ieee80211 and tried to get that goin, but I'm stuck on how to get udev to load the firmware...  Anyone?
[09:11] <mnp_> James; when grub loads change it after the kernal command
[09:11] <Spec> !firmware
[09:11] <ubotu> I know nothing about firmware - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:11] <sola6662> yo for thos who dont have a sound card and install unbuntu was u able to use your intergraded modo sound?
[09:11] <Spec> evil
[09:11] <Redrose> yeah, but that means i have to do it every time it boots, is their any way to tell the computer to auto-set it?
[09:11] <saxin_> why do we need to register to send pms btw? =\
[09:11] <chripher> kmilo: I am inatlling again now and how do I specifi ubuntu install to write grub to floppy instead of mbr
[09:11] <mnp_> James; i had the same problem. if that fixes it you can change the menu.lst
[09:12] <kmilo> chripher, ok
[09:12] <nubuntu> Redrose, why do you have to do it everytime?
[09:12] <jariep1__> how do I use the ghost command on IRC... I was logged off and back on, but with a slightly different Nick...??
[09:12] <KJ-ro> people.... i am brain dead in 10 ... 9... 8... ...

[09:12] <mnp_> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=211432

[09:12] <facugaich> chripher: IIRC it will ask you
[09:13] <JamesRasmussen> mnp_ - i'll look at it
[09:13] <mnp_> let me know.
[09:13] <sola6662> kmilo u know how i can enable souns by useing my modo sound crap?
[09:13] <crimsun> mnp_: now I need ``dmesg && cat /proc/interrupts && lsmod''
[09:13] <chripher> kmilo: floppy = /dev/fd0 or ?
[09:13] <facugaich> chripher: dapper or breezy?
[09:13] <chripher> dapper lst
[09:13] <id10t> NE1 got an idea on how i can see what isp uses/owns some of the 2145 IP addresses in our webserver logs? i don't wanna loop thru the unique list and do a whois on htem all (unless thats the easist/only way)
[09:13] <KJ-ro> gime the repo for the commercial unrar .... and a short info about installing a commercial package ....
[09:13] <KJ-ro> cus i really don't want to pay to unrar some files...
[09:13] <nubuntu> unrar is free
[09:13] <TaF> anyone know where i can get drivers for intel sund chip?
[09:13] <facugaich> chripher: at least in breezy the installer asked me what I wanted to do
[09:14] <JamesRasmussen> mnp_ - i don't think we have the same problem because i can get past that part without having to turn off the acpi or w/e
[09:14] <kmilo> chripher, yes floppy is the device /dev/fd0
[09:14] <KJ-ro> well.... nubuntu prehaps... but i just can't find it !
[09:14] <nubuntu> id10t, that is the easiest/only way
[09:14] <Spec> pebkac :-/
[09:14] <nubuntu> RESPECT!
[09:14] <chripher> yes I got it it is writing I hope it is writing how to boot xp too
[09:14] <Redrose> nubuntu, cause i have the 2 devices, ath0 and eth1, and i want it to use eth1 everytime, but when i reboot, it changes to ath1
[09:14] <facugaich> if I upgrade to dapper can I downgrade later?
[09:14] <JamesRasmussen> mnp_ - my problem is when i boot into ubuntu from the livecd i have no video output on my monitor than when i tried to install the fglrx driver like it said to on there site it ends up saying in the end fglrx is not installed
[09:14] <Alex0r> uyh
[09:14] <Alex0r> uh
[09:15] <Alex0r> i don't know
[09:15] <Alex0r> dapper is great though
[09:15] <Spec> facugaich: i'm not sure about downgrading
[09:15] <Spec> !downgrade
[09:15] <KJ-ro> nubuntu .... if you can gime you sources.list
[09:15] <ubotu> Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported, and may break your system.
[09:15] <id10t> nubuntu, i was afraid of that... thanks for the reply tho
[09:15] <jrib> facugaich: no, I don't think so, but why would you want to?
[09:15] <Spec> i would .... suggest against downgrading
[09:15] <mnp_> Crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18226
[09:15] <nubuntu> KJ-ro, i dont know
[09:15] <facugaich> jrib: in case it runs too slow
[09:15] <JamesRasmussen> mnp_ - than i was told to try the 32bit version instead of the 64bit at which i recevied the MP-BIOS error and it hangs there
[09:15] <Spec> facugaich: ubotu says not to downgrade, ubotu is all knowing. please respect ubotu's wishes.
[09:15] <jrib> facugaich: fwiw, dapper ran faster than breezy for me
[09:15] <KJ-ro> ubotu .... HHEEEEELLLLPPPP befor i lose it :D

[09:16] <JamesRasmussen> in the end i am left hating linux for being a bitch to me
[09:16] <facugaich> jrib: oh, ok
[09:16] <KJ-ro> =))
[09:16] <mnp_> James: im not that advanced. if your problem was adding the acpi=off i could help with that.
[09:16] <KJ-ro> i lost it....
[09:16] <chripher> ah it can boot xp now at least

[09:17] <braindead_moron> JamesRasmussen, TV sucks, #ubuntu doesn't
[09:17] <Roelski> howdie chaps
[09:17] <nubuntu> JamesRasmussen, there are lot of children in this channel if you couldnt tell
[09:17] <Spec> KJ-ro: mind the language
[09:17] <gnomefreak> KJ-ro: watch your langauge
[09:17] <Redrose> how do i designate which device i want to use for the internet? i have 2 wireless devices, both connected, how do i select which i want it to use at boot up?
[09:17] <Roelski> first time in linux since... what was it... 1998
[09:17] <mnp_> crimsun: is that output helping you?
[09:17] <chripher> ah it is working thank you kmilo and others I love you all
[09:17] <Spec> Redrose: you could edit /etc/network/interfaces
[09:17] <JamesRasmussen> nubuntu - I don't think another of distro of linux will help
[09:17] <braindead_moron> no udev experts here then?>
[09:18] <nubuntu> hint guys, use poop or poopie or poo or doo doo instead of bad words
[09:18] <Spec> Redrose: and comment out the 'auto wlan#' line where wlan# = your internet device name you do not wish to come up on boot
[09:18] <chripher> see you in ubuntu soon
[09:18] <KJ-ro> i told you i lost it.. been trying to unrar files all fck.  ing day .... (how is that for wasting time )
[09:18] <crimsun> mnp_: yes, but please be patient. I'm at work.
[09:18] <braindead_moron> KJ-ro: Did you try winrar via WINE?
[09:18] <Spec> fsck is okay though :)
[09:18] <Alex0r> wine is dumb
[09:18] <Alex0r> it never works
[09:18] <crimsun> mnp_: the problem is that your sound device is not being assigned an irq
[09:18] <braindead_moron> ubotu help udev
[09:18] <ubotu> I know nothing about help udev - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[09:18] <TaF> wine sux
[09:19] <mnp_> crimsun; no problem. im at work too.
[09:19] <JamesRasmussen> wine is not dumb
[09:19] <nubuntu> wine is fsck
[09:19] <Redrose> i want it to come up, just not to be the device that it uses for the internet... but that works too
[09:19] <kmilo> chripher, :) (I don't understand what happends with grub but I feel happy that works for you)
[09:19] <TaF> i would like to see just one program wine will run normally
[09:19] <mnp_> crimsun; okay, how do i assign it an irq? and prvent conflicts in linux
[09:19] <Alex0r> yeah
[09:19] <Alex0r> i want hl2 running on wine
[09:19] <JamesRasmussen> okay what should i do if i get no video output on my monitor when booting up to ubuntu?
[09:19] <Alex0r> i tried but it borked
[09:19] <JamesRasmussen> don't run HL2 on wine your first lesson
[09:19] <Spec> TaF: use wine to run keygens -- that way it's virus proof
[09:19] <facugaich> apt-get resumes downloads even when dist-upgrading right?
[09:19] <JamesRasmussen> gaming on linux lol
[09:20] <TaF> ahh
[09:20] <braindead_moron> Redrose: Sounds like you need "route"

[09:20] <TaF> you have opened my eyes
[09:20] <mnp_> crimsun: its an asus zensation
[09:20] <skavenge> install unrar and use archive manager how hard is that, i dont see how that could take all day
[09:20] <Spec> JamesRasmussen: there's a few FPS, good looking games for linux, including postal2 and ut2k4, and there's two other good-looking games that are OSS
[09:20] <Spec> !games

[09:20] <Spec> braindead_moron: he already left
[09:20] <Spec> braindead_moron: i was going to mention that, but then he left
[09:20] <TaF> why doesnt my computer boot the damn ubuntu disc i burned???
[09:20] <Spec> JamesRasmussen: ut2k4 runs just about the same on both
[09:21] <braindead_moron> Spec: doh
[09:21] <Spec> JamesRasmussen: postal2 runs perfectly
[09:21] <crimsun> mnp_: how old is it?
[09:21] <skavenge> ut2k4 actually runs just as well if not better since its linux native
[09:21] <Infern0o> TaF: you didn't set start from cd in the bios?
[09:21] <TaF> it stops after it says "booting the kernel"

[09:22] <TaF> i want ubuntu y'all
[09:22] <JamesRasmussen> can any person give me any real help?
[09:22] <chripher> kmilo: you here still
[09:22] <facugaich> chripher: what?
[09:22] <SurfnKid> is there something in linux to hear and see the transistors inside the system, make noise as the electiricty passes thru certain parts like, BUS,MEM, CPU, heard there was, just dont know the name
[09:22] <gnomefreak> TaF: i suggest downloading burning the alternative cd
[09:22] <KJ-ro> HOW TO UNRAR rar 2.0 and arhives that are of more parts ????
[09:22] <facugaich> chripher: kmilo just quir

[09:22] <TaF> you think maybe server cd would boot?
[09:22] <TaF> i see
[09:22] <crimsun> mnp_: please boot with acpi_irq_isa=7
[09:22] <chripher> facugaich: what is standard login name
[09:22] <TaF> ill try that
[09:22] <gnomefreak> TaF: should
[09:23] <braindead_moron> BioGeek, That totally stinks
[09:23] <skavenge> KJ-ro: are using using archive manager or trying to do it commandline
[09:23] <facugaich> chripher: it asked you during intall? your username probably
[09:23] <KJ-ro> arhive mane\ager don't even recognize rar
[09:23] <mnp_> crimsun: where do i put acpi_irq_isa=7? also, i have acpi=off to get unbuntu to load.
[09:23] <finalbeta> The fan is running again!, pretty bad, but It will do, can't seem to take the fan of the card.
[09:23] <braindead_moron> BioGeek, Can you just kill metacity?
[09:23] <finalbeta> Can it be done?
[09:23] <skavenge> KJ-ro: it should after unrar is installed, mine does
[09:23] <KJ-ro> i would use .... a hammer if i had to
[09:23] <facugaich> chripher: g2g, sorry

[09:24] <maxL> Sup Peeps, I need a gameboy advance emulator for Ubuntu, I tried the Visualboyadvance from synaptic packagee manager and nothing happened, can someone help me fix that one or show me another one?

[09:24] <crimsun> mnp_: same place you put acpi=off, although keep in mind if you disabled acpi altogether you'll have irq routing problems

[09:25] <mcquaid> how do i get apt or dpkg to list all pkgs i have installed with a wildcard?  i want to list all xfce pkgs, going to try and backport from edgy
[09:25] <crimsun> mnp_: what I would do is remove acpi=off and use acpi_irq_isa=7
[09:25] <jrib> Shak-: kimet is in universe, use apt instead of compiling your own
[09:25] <mnp_> crimsun: it was the only thing that got my computer to book past "unpacking linux. okay, loading the kernel"
[09:25] <mnp_> check out my post,

[09:26] <crimsun> mnp_: if you need acpi=off to boot, then you're going to have a tough time.
[09:26] <maxL> Sup Peeps, I need a gameboy advance emulator for Ubuntu, I tried the Visualboyadvance from synaptic packagee manager and nothing happened, can someone help me fix that one or show me another one?
[09:26] <nubuntu> lol romz0rz
[09:27] <crimsun> mnp_: I would suggest, then, that you disable any devices in bios that you're not using, like the parallel port, pcmcia devices, and so on
[09:27] <Alex0r> brb, gonna get some cookies and milk

[09:28] <Alex0r> but no milk, there isnt any,, or juice,, or pop.. only cider
[09:28] <Alex0r> so
[09:28] <Alex0r> im drinking cider
[09:28] <Shak-> no wonder I wasnt getting any matches for kismet
[09:28] <Alex0r> and its gross
[09:28] <KenSentMe> Is there a way to start OpenOffice from the terminal?
[09:29] <KJ-ro> skavange : rar is located only in commercial repo's... i added them .. still i cant finde any .... so something is wrong ... could you post your sources.list ??????????

[09:30] <Shak-> jrib: odd, I uncommented the lines but still no match for 'kismet' in synaptic
[09:30] <fyrestrtr> Shak-: sudo apt-get update

[09:31] <fyrestrtr> BioGeek: what is wrong with your keyboard?
[09:31] <fyrestrtr> Alex0r: how to get the menu?
[09:31] <jrib> where does dapper set the default umask for a user?  Or is 022 always the default value, and in that case, where should I set it?
[09:32] <Alex0r> yar
[09:32] <Shak-> ardchoille: yep, it appeared in synaptic now
[09:32] <Shak-> downloading package files now
[09:32] <ardchoille> Shak-: Ahh, cool
[09:32] <BioGeek> fyrestrtr: I messed up in MeTaciTy (I Think), and now I can'T Type The lowercase T any more.
[09:32] <Alex0r> could I do apt-get install suse-desktop or something? xD
[09:32] <SurfnKid> ardchoille,  i installed kismet now, i wonder how to use it

[09:32] <nubuntu> metacity. huhuhuh
[09:33] <ardchoille> SurfnKid: The first thing I would do is man kismet, if it has a man page

[09:33] <hoov> has anyone had any experience with gnome-network-manager?  I've made gotten my wireless card to work, and gnome-network-manager and WPA supplicant.  The only problem is when I after I put in my network key it does not connect.
[09:33] <SurfnKid> sure does
[09:33] <Alex0r> thanks
[09:33] <mnp_> crimsun: im going to reboot and see what happens
[09:33] <mnp_> crimsun: thanks for the help. ill be back in a bit.
[09:33] <nubuntu> he wont make it back
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> BioGeek: sounds like your keyboard mapping is messed up. Type xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.us (if you have a standard us keyboard)
[09:34] <SurfnKid> ardchoille, can you be associateed to a router and still have kismet monitor, or does it have to be free
[09:34] <ardchoille> SurfnKid: My method of learning a new app is man page, then app's homepage, then irc channel
[09:34] <ardchoille> SurfnKid: I don't know enough about kismet to be able to give you sound advice about it.
[09:34] <Shak-> if I do ifconfig eth1 mode monitor, my net connection dies until I set it back to mode managed, is that normal?
[09:35] <SurfnKid> ardchoille, i guess youre right :)
[09:35] <BioGeek> fyrestrtr: No, I have an azerTy Belgian keyboard...
[09:35] <fyrestrtr> Shak-: maybe your driver doesn't support it.
[09:35] <Alex0r> hmm, didnt work
[09:35] <fyrestrtr> BioGeek: replace .us with .be
[09:35] <fyrestrtr> Alex0r: what didn't?
[09:35] <SurfnKid> ill figure it out lter

[09:37] <fyrestrtr> Shak-: ipw2200 :) drivers are in the kernel, iirc.

[09:41] <chripher> can I reset passwords / users with xp
[09:41] <BioGeek> fyrestrtr: thanks for helping me, bye to the rest.
[09:41] <fyrestrtr> chripher: no.
[09:41] <hivemind> Hey guys I've mostly got Ubuntu working, but I can't get OpenOffice to spellcheck. It even passes horribly misspelled words.
[09:41] <ardchoille> chripher: Probably a silly question, but is your caps lock on?
[09:41] <chripher> fyrestrtr: not even chek what username to use ?
[09:41] <Infern0o> erUSUL: the problem must be something with the wep, because it works alright on unsecured
[09:41] <fyrestrtr> chripher: nope.
[09:41] <NoAlternative> sorry I was dc
[09:42] <fyrestrtr> hivemind: have you installed a dictionary?

[09:42] <rob_p> Infern0o:  Add the, "wireless-key" directive in your /etc/network/interfaces file, for the applicable wireless interface stanza, and it should work.
[09:42] <hivemind> fyrestrtr: Ummm, I'm unsure, I doubt it.
[09:42] <chripher> fyrestrtr: maybe it was acedently on when I installed
[09:42] <fyrestrtr> chripher: what was on?
[09:42] <Infern0o> rob_p but by doing that i won't be able to use gnome-network-manager right?
[09:42] <chripher> fyrestrtr: Cpas lock
[09:43] <fyrestrtr> could be, remember your login name is not your 'username'. They are two different things.
[09:43] <godtvisken> I have an ALi M5455 sound card. Am I able to use ALSA?
[09:43] <fyrestrtr> godtvisken: does it not work?
[09:43] <rob_p> Infern0o:  Ummm, I can't see why not.
[09:43] <mnp> crimsun: my system locked up with the acpi_irq_isa=7 instead of acpi=off
[09:43] <NoAlternative> I can't beleive how much Ubuntu has improved its install setup
[09:43] <ardchoille> fyrestrtr: Really? I didn't know that. My login name has always been my username
[09:44] <erUSUL> Infern0o: how do you configure it? via networkmanager or /etc/network/interfaces?
[09:44] <crimsun> mnp: right, follow the alternate set of suggestions regarding disabling all unnecessary devices in bios. You need free irqs.
[09:44] <Infern0o> erUSUL: via the nm
[09:44] <mnp> crimsun: ive read in the forums when i was trying to that problem solved that someones usb drivers were getting locked up and he disabled them to get it to work
[09:44] <fyrestrtr> ardchoille: the 'your name' and 'login name' are two different things. afaik, the login name cannot have spaces, the other one can.
[09:44] <ardchoille> fyrestrtr: Never mind, I misunderstood the two.
[09:44] <mnp> crimsun: okay, do you know which key i need to get into my BIOS?
[09:44] <Gasten> how do I change the stuff in "Places"?
[09:45] <crimsun> mnp: no idea for your hardware. F1? F2? F10? F12? Escape? Ctrl? Tab?
[09:45] <fyrestrtr> mnp: f1, f12, f10 or esc
[09:45] <chripher> fyrestrtr: yes maybe I mistyped swircheed or some is it possible to have caps or space in in login name
[09:45] <NoAlternative> when you run ubuntu from a live CD can you install packages as well & do work ?
[09:45] <Hoovey> err, i cant get the sled menus to work
[09:45] <fyrestrtr> chripher: no spaces, but caps, yes.
[09:45] <Hoovey> its still the same..
[09:45] <godtvisken> fyrestrtr: it works, but my flash video is out of sync with the audio. i have seen some fixes for this on the ubuntu forums but only with alsa
[09:45] <mnp> okay ill reboot and give it a shot
[09:45] <fyrestrtr> godtvisken: you are probably using alsa.
[09:45] <majd> hey
[09:45] <fyrestrtr> Hoovey: you have to add it to the panel.
[09:45] <Hoovey> i did
[09:46] <majd> is there a program to show image dimensions in nautilus right under the file name?
[09:46] <Hoovey> its default
[09:46] <bmgz> I cant get my british keyboar to work since Dapper upgrade. I get funny character for the double and single quote and my gnome shortcuts dont work? ive reported a bug and searched everywhere for help to no avail. this is my last resort anyone have a clue?
[09:46] <chripher> fyrestrtr: but I remember It told me my username was not right when I used Chripher or Borke
[09:46] <chripher> fyrestrtr: so I hade to use chripher or borke
[09:46] <fyrestrtr> bmgz: type this in a console, see if it works: xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.uk
[09:46] <jose> como recupero el passward de root
[09:46] <bmgz> that deosnt work - i cant use gnome shortcuts
[09:47] <NoAlternative> I have 4 Partition on my windows, I'm dual booting the machine, how would I know which drive of windows is which in ubuntu ?
[09:47] <bmgz> fyrestrtr: that deosnt work - i cant use gnome shortcuts
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> bmgz: are you using xgl?
[09:47] <bmgz> I was
[09:47] <bmgz> but i have to use us layout
[09:47] <Hoovey> fyrestrtr: got it to work :). thanks
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> xgl is known to mess up keyboard layouts.
[09:47] <jose> what pasword root ?
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> !root > jose
[09:47] <NoAlternative> I have an important question please
[09:48] <gnomefreak> NoAlternative: ask it
[09:48] <bmgz> fyrestrtr: I had this problem before i installed XGL
[09:48] <fyrestrtr> bmgz: hrmm, there are only two uk keyboards in xmodmap -- have you tried both?
[09:48] <jose> reciently install kubuntu, not password the root_
[09:48] <NoAlternative> gnomefreak: I did
[09:48] <jose> -
[09:48] <fyrestrtr> !root
[09:48] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:49] <bmgz> fyrestrtr: the one borks my system, the other one deosnt work..
[09:49] <fyrestrtr> what kind of keyboard is it?
[09:49] <jose> jose@ubuntu:~$ !root
[09:49] <jose> bash: !root: event not found
[09:49] <eugman> How can I restore my multimedia settings to defaults?
[09:49] <NoAlternative> I have 4 Partition on my windows, I'm dual booting the machine, how would I know which drive of windows is which in ubuntu ?
[09:49] <bmgz> fyrestrtr: worked fine in breezy
[09:49] <nubuntu> sudo -s; passwd; exit; su - ftw
[09:49] <NoAlternative> I mean during installing
[09:49] <KJ-ro> sry was away debuging my image gallery ....  nubuntu and skavange if you still around... well i know the basics... already try'd everithing i could (that has to do with easy solving) ... all i ever wanted was a sources.list post to pastebin of  a person who succesfully executed this command "sudo apt-get installed unrar" !!! THAT's ALLLL someone has to do by now ... and i hope it'll be today .. cus tommorow i'll be off to work ... and i want this to be fixed
[09:49] <fyrestrtr> jose: go to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo and read that.
[09:49] <gnomefreak> NoAlternative: you want to know what ones are windowws and what ones are ubuntu. are you in ubuntu atm?
[09:49] <fyrestrtr> nubuntu: please, don't tell people that.
[09:50] <gnomefreak> NoAlternative: ah
[09:50] <NoAlternative> gnomefreak I'm installing ubuntu
[09:50] <nubuntu> fyrestrtr, why not?
[09:50] <ardchoille> fyrestrtr: It's quite having an /ignore list :)
[09:50] <jose> jose@ubuntu:~$ sudo passwd root
[09:50] <jose> Password:
[09:50] <jose> Sorry, try again.
[09:50] <gnomefreak> nubuntu: its bad advice
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> gnomefreak: the ones that are windows will be marked as having a ntfs file system in the partition manager step of the installer (if you are installing from the desktop cd)
[09:50] <nubuntu> why?
[09:50] <godtvisken> fyrestrtr: how do i know if i am using alsa?
[09:50] <lmosher> I have FC5 now. Can someone tell me if/why I should install Ubuntu? I've heard good things but I've been an RH guy for quite some time...
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> nubuntu: because, it is not supported.
[09:50] <gnomefreak> fyrestrtr: yes i know ;)
[09:51] <nubuntu> why?
[09:51] <fatejudger> is there a special place to ask XGL related questions?
[09:51] <MarcN> oldschool question -- which package has latex? latex209-base?
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> nubuntu: it just isn't.
[09:51] <gnomefreak> NoAlternative: see hat fyrestrtr said
[09:51] <nubuntu> su isnt supported?
[09:51] <nubuntu> why is it included
[09:51] <POVaddct> nubuntu: it's not the way the root account is supposed to be used under ubuntu
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> fatejudger: #ubuntu-xgl
[09:51] <gnomefreak> no nubuntu
[09:51] <JamesRasmussen> I need help I am having problems installing ubuntu I have pictures of the problems please pm me if you can help
[09:51] <NoAlternative> fyrestrtr all the drives are fat32
[09:51] <gnomefreak> nubuntu: please join #ubuntu-offtopic to finish this talk
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> nubuntu: setting the root password is not supported. Its not the 'ubuntu' way.
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: then all of those are windows.
[09:51] <POVaddct> nubuntu: root should not be able to login directly
[09:52] <fyrestrtr> JamesRasmussen: just ask the question
[09:52] <NoAlternative> fyrestrtr: I need to install Ubuntu on one of these drives, which I know what is it within windows
[09:52] <nubuntu> my root can login directly
[09:52] <godtvisken> How do I know if I am using ALSA?
[09:52] <nubuntu> im using nubuntu 1.0
[09:52] <fyrestrtr> godtvisken: its the default :)
[09:52] <lmosher> I have a 2ghz pentium 4-m laptop.. Will it run faster on Ubuntu, FC5 or will it make a difference?
[09:52] <gnomefreak> nubuntu: than join #nubuntu
[09:52] <hivemind> So, can anyone help with my spellchecking issue?
[09:52] <NoAlternative> but now ubuntu installer changed there name from ABC to hda1, hda2, hda5, hda6, hda7
[09:52] <hivemind> "Hey guys I've mostly got Ubuntu working, but I can't get OpenOffice to spellcheck. It even passes horribly misspelled words."
[09:52] <godtvisken> fyrestrtr: oh, hm.
[09:52] <TaF> haha
[09:53] <fyrestrtr> hivemind: how far did you get with the whole install-a-dictionary thing? :)
[09:53] <TaF> you are going to need to learn to wpell, my freind
[09:53] <hivemind> There's one installed.
[09:53] <TaF> friend**
[09:53] <hivemind> Haha.
[09:53] <nubuntu> gnomefreak, nubuntu forwarded me to ubuntu
[09:53] <TaF> **egg on my face **
[09:53] <mumbles-laptop> damm the new ubuntu takes foreer to download
[09:53] <sola6662> can some1 link me to some sites that has anime based Login Manager for gnome?
[09:53] <hivemind> My excuse is that I got my wisdom teeth out.
[09:53] <hivemind> Pardon me while I go spit blood.
[09:54] <NoAlternative> check my messages before everyone skips them :)
[09:54] <gnomefreak> nubuntu: nubuntu is not supported by ubuntu yet iirc its still a 3rd party os
[09:54] <NoAlternative> cause this channel is so fast
[09:54] <gnomefreak> nubuntu: as i was saying join #ubuntu-offtopic to finish this
[09:54] <ardchoille> sola6662: You can try looking on http://art.gnome.org and http://gnome-look.org
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> hivemind: what did you install when you say you installed the dictionary?
[09:55] <hivemind> I didn't there is one installed "OpenOffice.org Hunspell SpellChecker"
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> lmosher: you won't notice a precieved difference in speed.
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> hunspell?
[09:55] <sola6662> been to them both ardchoille i remember checking out 1 link but i lost it
[09:55] <KJ-ro> ZZZzzzzZZZzzzzzz
[09:55] <MarcN> to answer my own latex question -- tetex-bin and tetex-src (for isolatin1.sty)
[09:55] <hivemind> fyrestrtr: Yeah, it came installed with OO.
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> latex -- the kinky side of typesetting
[09:56] <tom1502> i got the following problem:
[09:56] <tom1502> thomas@toshiba:~$ sudo modprobe nvidia
[09:56] <tom1502> Password:
[09:56] <tom1502> FATAL: Error inserting nvidia (/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-686/volatile/nvidia.ko): Invalid module format
[09:56] <NoAlternative> in the installation its asking me for Prepare mount points, what are these ?
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> hivemind: hrmmnn...it works here out of the box, although I did go ahead an install myspell.
[09:56] <hivemind> "Hunspell will be the default spell checker of the next version of OpenOffice.org office suite." - Sourceforge
[09:56] <BabarE> ok. any nordic users been able to get their keyboard to work in ubuntu 6.06? i am totally at a loss here.
[09:56] <JamesRasmussen> this happens to my 32bit when trying to install
[09:56] <JamesRasmussen> http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/4305/ubuntu001rl0.jpg
[09:56] <hivemind> I'll give myspell a shot.
[09:56] <fyrestrtr> tom1502: read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Video
[09:57] <JamesRasmussen> how can i fix this http://img45.imageshack.us/img45/4305/ubuntu001rl0.jpg
[09:57] <nubuntu> JamesRasmussen, can you boot with the kernel option noapic
[09:57] <JamesRasmussen> no, i tried turning that off from my bios and it gave me some big thing
[09:58] <JamesRasmussen> i think it said like kernal panic
[09:58] <nubuntu> not in the bios
[09:58] <tom1502> fyrestrtr thx
[09:58] <godtvisken> Has anyone been successful getting flash audio and video to sync?
[09:58] <nubuntu> godtvisken, not i
[09:58] <JamesRasmussen> nubuntu - how do i boot with the kernal option noapic?
[09:58] <NoAlternative> in the ubuntu installation its asking me for 2 partitions, one for "root file system" & one for "swap", can my windows fat32 drive act as swap ?
[09:59] <Spec> no
[09:59] <rpedro> NoAlternative: No!
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: no.
[09:59] <Spec> NoAlternative: you could make a file on your fat32 drive that could act as swap though, if you so desired
[09:59] <NoAlternative> so that means I need 2 partitions ?
[09:59] <nubuntu> JamesRasmussen, i dont know how with grub, only lilo
[09:59] <MarcN> JamesRasmussen: from the grub prompt.
[09:59] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: yes, at a minimum.
[09:59] <Spec> NoAlternative: naa, you could do it with one partition :)
[09:59] <NoAlternative> Spec: how ?
[09:59] <jollyroger> how do i burn an .iso file with cdburnerxp and the dapper drake alternate cd download
[10:00] <Spec> NoAlternative: it depends how much work you're willing to do. the easiest most common way is to have two partitions, one for linux and one for swap
[10:00] <JamesRasmussen> marcn - how do i get to the grub prompt?
[10:00] <fyrestrtr> jollyroger: just right click on the iso file, and choose write to disc
[10:00] <jollyroger> how do i find the iso file
[10:00] <NoAlternative> Spec I have one partition on which I planned to install linux
[10:00] <fyrestrtr> JamesRasmussen: hit esc before the timer runs out :)
[10:00] <fyrestrtr> jollyroger: search for it?
[10:00] <JamesRasmussen> the timer of the menu where it says ubuntu
[10:00] <MarcN> JamesRasmussen: at the ubuntu boot screen, press escape.  It will give you the grub prompt where you can usually select from a number of kernels.
[10:00] <JamesRasmussen> or when it starts to load
[10:00] <NoAlternative> so I can re partition it into 2 ? but how ?
[10:00] <JamesRasmussen> like right after bios
[10:00] <ardchoille> jollyroger: How did you download that .iso file?
[10:00] <POVaddct> JamesRasmussen: it's _kernel_ not kernal. in the grub display, press 'e' to edit the entry, then go to the line containing root=..., press 'e' again and insert noapic in the line, press return and then 'b'
[10:00] <MarcN> JamesRasmussen: before it says loading linux
[10:01] <KJ-ro> some day before the next millennium linux should learn how to unrar :)) and how to write safly to NTFS .... :)
[10:01] <fyrestrtr> JamesRasmussen: when it starts to load.
[10:01] <jollyroger> GarrettC send me a link last night
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> POVaddct: don't you need a option= or something?
[10:02] <ardchoille> jollyroger: was it a http link or wget?
[10:02] <Spec> NoAlternative: install linux without swap, then create a file: dd if=/dev/zero of=/path/to/swapfile bs=1024 count=132207;chmod 600 /path/to/swapfile;mkswap /path/to/swapfile;swapon /path/to/swapfile
[10:02] <BabarE> my problem is this: after fixing xorg.conf so that i can have dual-head display, i can not
[10:02] <jollyroger> I think wget
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> POVaddct: or maybe noapic=on or something
[10:02] <POVaddct> fyrestrtr: no, its just noapic
[10:02] <BabarE> get my aa ae oe to work any more, even though the layout is norwegian
[10:02] <Spec> NoAlternative: then in your fstab: /path/to/swapfile swap swap defaults 0 0
[10:02] <POVaddct> fyrestrtr: if noapic fixes the bug at all, i don't know
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> KJ-ro: it can unrar now, and write to ntfs too -- but the writing to ntfs part is not completely safe.
[10:02] <Spec> NoAlternative: that'll make it come up on boot ... but that's only a 128 megabyte swapfile, you're gonna want the size to be twice your ram
[10:02] <KJ-ro> well ... take a look:
[10:02] <KJ-ro> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-116178.html
[10:02] <NoAlternative> wow man I'm a newbie installing ubuntu for the first time, I don't really get what you are saying
[10:02] <JamesRasmussen> okay i will try that but before i do i want to show you guys the error i get with the 64bit version livecd of ubuntu http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/8043/ubuntu005kq6.jpg
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> POVaddct: hrmm .. okay :)
[10:02] <Spec> NoAlternative: so, as commonly done, the easiest way is to have two partitions for linux, one is going to be for swap and one will be for linux :)
[10:02] <KJ-ro> fyrestrtr .. can write to ntfs.. i read about it.. they sad it's dangerous
[10:02] <KJ-ro> is it ?
[10:02] <t3elmar> Hello, I am new to ubuntu. I use debian.
[10:02] <ardchoille> jollyroger: if it was a wget command, wget would download the iso file to which ever dir you were in when you ran wget.. possibly in your home dir.
[10:02] <t3elmar> I would like to now how I could migrate tu ubuntu.
[10:02] <t3elmar> In the http web I haven't found the right infomations.  Maybe you could give me some hints?
[10:02] <Spec> !debian to ubuntu
[10:02] <ubotu> I know nothing about debian to ubuntu - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:02] <fyrestrtr> KJ-ro: well, yes and no. Its hit and miss. I personally have not had any problems.
[10:03] <NoAlternative> I think I can do that, close ubuntu setup go back to windows & user my partitioning software to create 2 partitions ?
[10:03] <jollyroger> i have all of the files that downloaded but i don't know which one is the iso and what ones need burnt
[10:03] <fyrestrtr> KJ-ro: but I wouldn't do it on critical data (this was just music)
[10:03] <mnp> crimsun: i have AMIBIOS 0204 and there is no option to disable devices except the IDE (harddrive?)
[10:03] <Spec> NoAlternative: Ubuntu's installer has partitioning software that'll create two partitions, what you should do is have one windows partition and one blank partition
[10:03] <Jemt> Greetz. Is it possible to fetch all images from a given folder using wget ? ie.  wget http://domain/folder/*
[10:03] <POVaddct> fyrestrtr: the kernel boot parameters have no general format. there are things like acpi=off, but also things like noapic
[10:03] <JamesRasmussen> the error i get with the 64bit version livecd of ubuntu http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/8043/ubuntu005kq6.jpg
[10:03] <fyrestrtr> jollyroger: the iso one has the .iso extension. What are you trying to burn?
[10:03] <Spec> NoAlternative: and just tell ubuntu to install into the blank space -- it'll take care of the partitions for you
[10:03] <mnp> is there another way to disable peripherals?
[10:03] <jollyroger> a live cd to install ubuntu
[10:04] <Spec> jollyroger: yarr
[10:04] <fyrestrtr> Jemt: yes, read the man page of wget :) its in there.
[10:04] <crimsun> mnp: sure, unload the kernel modules.
[10:04] <NoAlternative> where is this partitioning software
[10:04] <NoAlternative> ?
[10:04] <crimsun> mnp: that will free the irqs
[10:04] <fyrestrtr> mnp: or stop hotplug.
[10:04] <Jemt> fyrestrtr: What should I look for ?
[10:04] <mnp> crimsun: i have no idea how to do either
[10:04] <fyrestrtr> Jemt: the part where it says 'recursive'
[10:04] <crimsun> fyrestrtr: hotplug is moot in Dapper.
[10:04] <Spec> NoAlternative: boot the LiveCD and either run the program 'gparted', or just double click the install icon, it's bundled into the installer
[10:04] <Jemt> fyrestrtr: Great, thanks :)
[10:04] <fyrestrtr> Jemt: its a very comprehensive manual.
[10:04] <tom1502> fyrestrtr oh iforgot: i changed from 386 to 686  kernel
[10:04] <JamesRasmussen> can anyone answer me i get this error in 64bit ubuntu http://img194.imageshack.us/img194/8043/ubuntu005kq6.jpg
[10:04] <Jemt> fyrestrtr: Yes , I can see that :)
[10:04] <mnp> crimsun and fyerstrtr: how do i unload the kernel modules?
[10:04] <Spec> !repeat > JamesRasmussen
[10:05] <Spec> mnp: rmmod
[10:05] <NoAlternative> Spec: thats what I was doing the "install"
[10:05] <ardchoille> jollyroger: You can do a: ls -l ~/*.iso  and possibly find out the filename
[10:05] <NoAlternative> it was only showing me my partitions not asking me to repartition any particular partition ?
[10:05] <hivemind> fyrestrtr: Thank you!
[10:05] <crimsun> mnp: your lsmod output lists kernel drivers that are loaded. Do you use a printer with that machine?
[10:05] <Spec> NoAlternative: do you have free space on your drive?
[10:05] <POVaddct> JamesRasmussen: same dell machine?
[10:05] <mnp> not locally, i use a "local" one on a network
[10:05] <mnp> the only thing i really need is USB
[10:05] <fyrestrtr> hivemind: well you spelled that correctly, so I guess its working :)
[10:05] <crimsun> mnp: then you can unload the printer driver.
[10:05] <mnp> crimsun: no printer, the only thing i really need is USB
[10:06] <drezha> lo all
[10:06] <NoAlternative> Spec I have 4 drives and 1 drive is totally empty
[10:06] <Cntryboy> Anyone know of a screen capture program to record movements in kubuntu?
[10:06] <crimsun> mnp: or more precisely, the parallel port driver.
[10:06] <Cntryboy> I wanna make a xgl video :)
[10:06] <NoAlternative> and I kept that drive for ubuntu
[10:06] <NoAlternative> its 10 GB drive
[10:06] <Spec> NoAlternative: oh, so just point ubuntu to install into the empty drive
[10:06] <hivemind> fyrestrtr: ^_^
[10:06] <ardchoille> Cntryboy: istanbul will do that
[10:06] <Spec> NoAlternative: you should be able to do that via the installer
[10:06] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: just choose the option 'use available free space'
[10:06] <mnp> crimsun: how do i disable the paralell port driver?
[10:06] <fyrestrtr> mnp: why?
[10:06] <NoAlternative> yeah but the setup was saying to choose 2 partition one for "root file system" and one for swap
[10:06] <fyrestrtr> Cntryboy: there was a digg for that a while back....
[10:07] <nubuntu> mnp, rm `modprobe -l|grep parport`
[10:07] <zwnj> what's the problem with archive.ubuntu.com? i get """Err http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy Release.gpg -- Could not connect to archive.ubuntu.com:80 (<IP_ADDRESS>), connection timed out"""
[10:07] <jollyroger> i did that search and found a shitload of files
[10:07] <Spec> mnp: he meant to say: rmmod `modprobe -l|grep parport`
[10:07] <fyrestrtr> zwnj: maybe your isp is having problems?
[10:07] <brutopia_> is it possible to prevent disk filter driver from attaching connected diskdrive
[10:07] <crimsun> mnp: modprobe -r ppdev lp parport_pc
[10:07] <nubuntu> Spec, no, i meant delete it, if you remove it, it just reloads nexttime
[10:07] <fyrestrtr> jollyroger: please, mind your language.
[10:07] <zwnj> fyrestrtr: i tried torify too
[10:07] <jollyroger> sorry
[10:07] <Spec> nubuntu: why would you delete a module? o.O!
[10:07] <drezha> how can I add a second drive? it's recognised in discs but it needs a mount point..what do I select?
[10:07] <nubuntu> so it doesnt load
[10:07] <Spec> nubuntu: you could just blacklist it
[10:07] <skavenge> just blacklist it
[10:08] <JamesRasmussen> POVaddct - it's not a dell machine it's a dell monitor my machine is built by me
[10:08] <nubuntu> or you can just delete it
[10:08] <fyrestrtr> nubuntu: just add it to the blacklist
[10:08] <Spec> !blacklist
[10:08] <ubotu> To blacklist a module, edit /etc/modprobe.d/my_blacklist and add "blacklist modulename" to the end of that list
[10:08] <ardchoille> jollyroger: You can try a: ls -l ~/*ubunt*.iso
[10:08] <mnp> crimsun: mnp@mnp-notebook:~$  modprobe -r ppdev lp parport_pc
[10:08] <mnp> FATAL: Error removing ppdev (/lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/kernel/drivers/char/ppdev.ko): Operation not permitted
[10:08] <fyrestrtr> drezha: you can select any directory you like.
[10:08] <crimsun> mnp: use sudo.
[10:08] <nubuntu> i thought it was easier to delete agp-gart than to blacklist it
[10:08] <mnp> crimsun: done
[10:08] <mnp> now what?
[10:08] <NoAlternative> Spec ?
[10:08] <Spec> NoAlternative: yes?
[10:08] <crimsun> mnp: sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0 && modprobe snd-intel8x0
[10:08] <Cntryboy> ok back sorry
[10:09] <Spec> NoAlternative: just tell the installer to install into the free space on the drive that's not being used
[10:09] <tom1502> fyrestrtr so do i have to make a manual install?
[10:09] <Cntryboy> fyrestrtr: so do ya know where I could find it?
[10:09] <fyrestrtr> Cntryboy: google :)
[10:09] <fyrestrtr> I don't have it bookmarked on this machine.
[10:09] <NoAlternative> Spec: I said above that it was asking me to choose 2 drives one for "root file system" and one for swap
[10:09] <jollyroger> i'm getting a bunch of DEB files
[10:09] <Cntryboy> ardchoille: sorry didn't see ur line about istanbul, does it record sound also?
[10:09] <fatejudger> video seems to be very laggy and jerky in Gnome
[10:09] <mnp> !pastebin
[10:09] <ubotu> 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 (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[10:09] <tnjb_> hello, I was wondering if I could get some help trying to fix up a strange internet connection problem
[10:09] <fyrestrtr> tom1502: sorry, what?
[10:09] <weedar> Any way I can boot as root into my own system? Due to a wrong /etc/hosts configuration I can't sudo right  now.. :)
[10:09] <ardchoille> Cntryboy: That I don't know, I don't use sound
[10:10] <fatejudger> is there some way to change some video settings to get it to work better?
[10:10] <mnp> crimsun: i got a couple of erros. ill pastebin them
[10:10] <Spec> NoAlternative: two partitions, one drive, what did you select that it would ask you that question? manual?
[10:10] <fatejudger> I seem to remember having this problem in KDE, but there were some options to change
[10:10] <drezha> any folder? I tried /mnt and /boot but I restarted and boom gone...
[10:10] <fyrestrtr> fatejudger: depending on your video card, you may be able to get accelerated graphics using binary drivers. Read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Video
[10:10] <drezha> does it have to be in my home folder?
[10:10] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: already have fglrx
[10:10] <NoAlternative> Spec: yes manual
[10:10] <fyrestrtr> drezha: if you want to have it keep mounting itself on each reboot, you have to add it to /etc/fstab
[10:10] <mnp> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18233
[10:10] <Spec> NoAlternative: well, don't do manual partitioning if you dont' know how to
[10:10] <tom1502> fyrestrtr u gave me link top video tutorial because of my invalid module format error... ive changed from 386 kernel to 686 kernel, and after this the problem occurs.. so what do i have to do now?
[10:10] <mnp> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18233
[10:10] <fyrestrtr> fatejudger: are you sure its running?
[10:10] <Infern0o> Can anybody please help me with getting my ubuntu wireless with wep encryption working? (it works on unsecured network)
[10:12] <ardchoille> !dma > fatejudger
[10:12] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: where are all the options to change the video settings
[10:12] <ardchoille> fatejudger: I hope that will help
[10:12] <Cntryboy> ardchoille: okay thx man
[10:12] <drezha> fyrestrtr, set mount point to /etc/fstab?
[10:12] <Spec> weedar: boot into the livecd, mount the partition with ubuntu installed, then do: chroot /media/ubuntu(wherever your linux partition is mounted)
[10:12] <fyrestrtr> fatejudger: what settings? if you are looking for a control panel, I think its only available from the drivers from ati.
[10:12] <Cntryboy> ardchoille: will apt-get work
[10:12] <sola6662> yo i need a list of Dep's that i need?
[10:12] <ardchoille> !info instanbul
[10:12] <fyrestrtr> drezha: no, you need to edit the file /etc/fstab and add an entry for your drive there.
[10:12] <ubotu> Package instanbul does not exist in dapper
[10:12] <drezha> right cheers
[10:12] <ardchoille> !info istanbul
[10:12] <ubotu> istanbul: Desktop session recorder. In repository universe, is optional. Version 0.1.1-3ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 65 kB, installed size 344 kB
[10:12] <skavenge> settings would be specific to the program your using for video
[10:12] <crimsun> mnp: use sudo
[10:12] <mnp> crimsun: i did
[10:12] <h4v0k> its still not working
[10:12] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: Kaffeine has tons of options for configuring video output
[10:12] <ardchoille> Cntryboy: It should, istanbul is in universe
[10:12] <Cntryboy> kk thx
[10:12] <crimsun> mnp: no, I omitted it.
[10:12] <h4v0k> i cant enable java
[10:12] <gatekeeper> Infern0o: I would use wpa rather than wep if your router & card supports it
[10:12] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: I was able to get it working in Kaffeine playing around with everything
[10:12] <h4v0k> or how bout opera
[10:12] <fyrestrtr> fatejudger: sorry, i don't know what is kaffeine, other than the stuff in coffee
[10:12] <Cntryboy> k thx bro
[10:12] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: Kaffeine, the video player for KDE
[10:12] <crimsun> mnp: see how you only used sudo for modprobe -r ?
[10:12] <mnp> crimsun:  sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0 && modprobe snd-intel8x0
[10:12] <MaxeyPad> how do i upgrade from warty to the most current release
[10:12] <Infern0o> gatekeeper: i know me too, but i have some stubborn family members ;-
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> !uprade > MaxeyPad
[10:13] <ubotu> I know nothing about uprade  - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:13] <aldudturn> what is a good ethernet card that will work with ubuntu? (plus under a tenner)
[10:13] <sola6662> it dont let me get KDE
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> !upgrade > MaxeyPad
[10:13] <Hoovey> kde sucks..
[10:13] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: isn't there some other area to look for options in video?
[10:13] <gnomefreak> Hoovey: join #ubuntu-offtopic for that
[10:13] <mnp> crimsun: i see looks okay now
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> fatejudger: you mean *playing* videos, or changing the video resolution for X?
[10:13] <mnp> sudo modprobe -r snd-intel8x0 && sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0
[10:13] <fyrestrtr> fatejudger: two different things.
[10:13] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: there are multiple methods for outputting video
[10:13] <kupo> hey channel I just went from breezy badger to dapper drake and grub not playing nice at all
[10:13] <tnjb_> hello, is there anyone around to help with an internet problem.  I'm hoping it will be a straight forward problem...
[10:13] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: whether through OpenGL, or something else
[10:14] <kupo> how can i get grub to see/load the new kernel?
[10:14] <fatejudger> fyrestrtr: what I need is a way to change which one it uses
[10:14] <fyrestrtr> ooh, try mplayer -- tons of video options :)
[10:14] <fyrestrtr> finally understood what you mean.
[10:14] <crimsun> mnp: now check if /proc/interrupts lists the sound device type
[10:14] <gatekeeper> Infern0o: if you are the family network manager they get it the way it comes (i.e. the way you set it up) :-)
[10:14] <spades> kupo have you tried sudo update-grub?
[10:14] <fyrestrtr> !anyone
[10:14] <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?
[10:14] <aldudturn> So anyone know a good ethernet card to use with ubuntu?
[10:14] <stewart> my usb stick is mounting but not allowing write access
[10:14] <mnp> crimsun: im a real new to linux. how do i check the /proc/inter...
[10:14] <kupo> spades: trying now!
[10:14] <crimsun> mnp: cat /proc/interrupts
[10:14] <stewart> anyone else had similar probs?
[10:14] <fyrestrtr> aldudturn: most are supported. Depends on what you need to do with the card.
[10:14] <tnjb_> ubotu, cheers, I will try that!  :)  sorry for being new!!!
[10:14] <ubotu> I know nothing about cheers, I will try that!  :)  sorry for being new!!! - try searching http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi?db=ubuntu
[10:15] <skavenge> fatejudger: you find totem (if thats what your using) has way less options in gnome than kaffiene in kde, you made need a another player like vlc player or mplayer to configure things like that, or gxine
[10:15] <sola6662> i wanna get gdesklets but it seems like i cant get the package nor install it
[10:15] <fyrestrtr> tnjb_: ubotu is a bot :)
[10:15] <gatekeeper> aldudturn: I would look for one with native linux drivers
[10:15] <Infern0o> gatekeeper: i wish that was true :) i AM the family network manager, but since it's working on their (windows) pc's they are friggin stubborn :)
[10:15] <fyrestrtr> !ubotu
[10:15] <ubotu> I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbotuUsage
[10:15] <ardchoille> stewart: are you using sudo to write to it?
[10:15] <tnjb_> ah, I really am new arn't i!   :S
[10:15] <_Caleb_> ok anyone using 1280x800 resolution
[10:15] <skavenge> _Caleb_: yup
[10:15] <aldudturn> fyrestrtr: i need to connect a wireless bridge to let me connect to the internet
[10:15] <_Caleb_> k
[10:15] <_Caleb_> howd you set it to use it
[10:15] <mnp> crimsun: what am i looking for?
[10:15] <stewart> ardchoille: no nautilus under my user why?
[10:15] <NoAlternative> Spec: I selected the option of freed space, its showing me a meter bar New Partition Size 45% (3.2 GB) what does this means /
[10:16] <crimsun> mnp: something like "Intel ICH6"
[10:16] <aldudturn> i think ill have a look on amazon, I'm buying some new headphones tonight so ill get it with it
[10:16] <skavenge> _Caleb_: setup as default i didnt change anything
[10:16] <fyrestrtr> aldudturn: for wireless, ipw2200 works best, afaik.
[10:16] <_Caleb_> ehhh
[10:16] <_Caleb_> it didnt give me the option on mine
[10:16] <gnomefreak> stewart: are you using gnome?
[10:16] <kupo> aha spades that seems to have done something
[10:16] <stewart> sure
[10:16] <crimsun> mnp: it doesn't have to be ICH-6-, of course. ICH4 or ICH5 is fairly plausible for your hardware.
[10:16] <skavenge> its the only res i even have on my laptop
[10:16] <_Caleb_> just 1024x768
[10:16] <rpedro> h4v0k: I had problems before with java, where it wouldn't load, most notably azureus wouldn't run correctly. turned out to be a conflict with the gnu java virtual machine, after I uninstalled it ,java worked fine , so, search in synaptic for 'gnu java' and uninstall anything which doesn't have any dependant packages, and uninstalled it, can't remember any specific package name, sorry. good luck :-)
[10:16] <mnp> crimsun: there is a bunch of intel stuff that looks familar. ill post bin.
[10:16] <ardchoille> stewart: When I plug in a usn stick only root can write to it. Sounds like you have the same issue
[10:16] <kupo> did I need to be chrooted into the new install ?
[10:16] <mnp> i have ICH4 im prety sure
[10:16] <gnomefreak> stewart: go to places>home folder
[10:16] <_Caleb_> heh ipw220 is the wireless for my laptop
[10:16] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: that's how much its going to resize your windows partition. You need to do the manual partitioning.
[10:16] <gatekeeper> Infern0o: my other half uses a windows lpa top and I have it using wpa, haven't tried setting up in linux yet but windows is easy enought
[10:16] <gatekeeper> !wireless
[10:16] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs with Broadcom Specifics at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Dapper
[10:16] <aldudturn> thanks fyrestrtr
[10:17] <_Caleb_> ipw220 works great
[10:17] <h4v0k> rpedro, ty
[10:17] <NoAlternative> fyrestrtr: but I want it to use the partition fully
[10:17] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: you need to do a manual partition.
[10:17] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: hit the previous button till you get to the partitioning section of the wizard, choose manual partition.
[10:17] <tnjb_> I have a problem being able going to specific web sites (including google.com) using a couple of different web browsers (firefox and lynx).  It says "the connection was reset".
[10:17] <tnjb_> other web sites work fine
[10:18] <fyrestrtr> then you need to create the partitions on the free disk. its not that difficult :)
[10:18] <drezha> fyrestrtr - Cheers. Think thats all sorted now :)
[10:18] <jollyroger> is md5sum the file i need?
[10:18] <tnjb_> anyone able to help?
[10:18] <mnp> crimsun: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/18236
[10:18] <NoAlternative> fyrestrtr: but there it asks me to manually select 2 partitions one for "root file system" and one for swap & I only have 1 partition which is 10 gb which I want to allocate fully to ubuntu
[10:18] <stewart> the read only USB is not a user issue
[10:18] <mnp> crimsun: on second look i dont see any intel device shown
[10:18] <stewart> it wont write from   root
[10:18] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: you have 10 gb of free space?
[10:18] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: or a 10gb partition that is fat32 that you want to use?
[10:18] <stewart> and it only recently started doing this after my last update
[10:19] <fyrestrtr> drezha: np :)
[10:19] <synth> Arrrggghh (exscuse me..) why is it every freaking (sda, hda, hdb, hdd) volume/part i have other than my boot part is Device or resource busy? none of them are mounted, lsof reports *nothing open*
[10:19] <synth> what gives? I can't mount my ntfs, my reiserfs backup disk
[10:19] <NoAlternative> fyrestrtr 10gb partition that is fat32 which I want to use
[10:19] <fyrestrtr> synth: type mount see what is mounted.
[10:19] <stewart> I'm thinking some thing got buggered on the last update for USB/Volume management
[10:20] <crimsun> mnp: then you need to boot with irqpoll in addition to acpi=off
[10:20] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: you will need to delete the partition first. A partition that is fat32 is not considered 'free space' :)
[10:20] <synth> fyrestrtr, mount and proc mount both show nothing mounted, i see errrors when i actually *try* to mount my other parts
[10:20] <fatejudger> when playing video in mplayer, I get this error while playing "alsa-control: unable to find simple control 'PCM',0"
[10:20] <synth> using mount -a
[10:20] <cparker> I have a major problem... I cannot use my machine now.
[10:20] <crimsun> fatejudger: do you actually have such an element?
[10:20] <NoAlternative> fyrestrtr but I was format it here with ubuntu ?
[10:21] <fatejudger> crimsun: I didn't have this problem in Kaffeine or Totem
[10:21] <NoAlternative> *but I can
[10:21] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: yes, don't worry about that part right now. Just click on the partition, and hit the button for delete. Then hit apply. You will know its deleted because the section will show up as a grey area in the partition program.
[10:21] <fatejudger> crimsun: but Totem just plays the videos really slowly
[10:21] <cart> Hi, how can i configure the dns servers on dapper server??? Something keep changing the /etc/resolv.conf ?
[10:21] <cparker> I was browsing a Windows network... I right-clicked a Windows share, and when it asked me what I wanted to name it, I cleared the textbox and clicked OK. Now, both gnome-panel and nautilus are crashing, even in Failsafe mode. What can I do?
[10:21] <sola6662> can someone help me get gdesklets?
[10:21] <tnjb_> sorry to repeat and for the lack of knowing any etitique but ...
[10:21] <tnjb_> I have a problem being able going to specific web sites (including google.com) using a couple of different web browsers (firefox and lynx).  It says "the connection was reset".
[10:21] <tnjb_> other web sites work fine
[10:21] <tnjb_> anyone able to help?
[10:21] <fyrestrtr> cart: if you are using dhcp, that's probably doing it.
[10:21] <stewart> seems a bad time to try to sort my palm pda to synch through USB :-)
[10:22] <cart> fyrestrtr: No, not using dhcp
[10:22] <Paddy_EIRE> Can anyone tell me if NeverWinter Nights can still run natively on Ubuntu linux
[10:22] <fyrestrtr> tnjb_: ask a question, then have patience please.
[10:22] <mnp> crimsun: thanks for your help. before i try that, should the line read: kernel		/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.15-26-386 root=/dev/hda3 ro quiet splash irqpoll acpi=off
[10:22] <void^> Paddy_EIRE: yes, runs fine
[10:22] <Paddy_EIRE> and how much Hassel
[10:22] <crimsun> mnp: yes
[10:22] <drezha> google is being a bit wotsite ATM anyhow...I cant use the firefox bars to seearch and it takes forever on there website
[10:22] <fatejudger> I just don't understand why everything is so slow in Gnome, even with the binary drivers
[10:22] <mnp> cool. ill give it a shot
[10:22] <crimsun> fatejudger: I don't see how any of that has to do with mplayer.
[10:22] <NoAlternative> fyrestrtr: what does deleting a partition means ? formatting it as ext3 ?
[10:22] <tnjb_> will do
[10:22] <fatejudger> window redrawing is slow
[10:22] <cparker> I'm running Ubuntu Dapper.
[10:22] <fatejudger> video playback is slow
[10:22] <void^> Paddy_EIRE: moderate, you can download pretty much everything from bioware
[10:22] <fyrestrtr> cart: and something is changing your dns servers?
[10:22] <din> where does ubuntu store it's downloaded packages at?
[10:23] <fatejudger> crimsun: mplayer gives me that error
[10:23] <fyrestrtr> din: /var/cache/apt/archives
[10:23] <PORDO> i removed something once, and my pcmcia services fail.  what do i need to re-install to get that back up?
[10:23] <din> fyrestrtr: thx
[10:23] <fatejudger> I just want to figure this out, one problem at a time
 cheers mate, are u a fan
[10:23] <mborohovski> hi all. this might me a stupid question, but i haven't found it online...
[10:23] <amortvigil> hey how do you do a lymlink?
[10:23] <crimsun> fatejudger: right, and you haven't answered my question yet
[10:23] <amortvigil> symlink
[10:23] <fyrestrtr> amortvigil: man ln
[10:23] <fatejudger> you didn't ask me a quesiton
[10:23] <moonlite> amortvigil: ln -s file link
[10:23] <mborohovski> ubuntu server edition. what is the difference from desktop edition?
[10:23] <crimsun> fatejudger: scroll up
[10:23] <mborohovski> i mean, once its installed is it the same? gui-wise?
[10:23] <fyrestrtr> mborohovski: doesn't install the graphical interface by default.
[10:23] <moonlite> or just ln -s file and it will be called the same as the file it is linking to
[10:24] <cparker> Did anybody see my question?
[10:24] <mborohovski> ah, i see.
[10:24] <fatejudger> crimsun: the "do you have such an element?" quesiton?
[10:24] <crimsun> fatejudger: yes
[10:24] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: no, deleting it means that it will be empty space.
[10:24] <fyrestrtr> NoAlternative: a spot on your hard disk that has nothing on it, no partitions.
[10:24] <moonlite> amortvigil: middle-click, drag and release and chose "make link" will work too
[10:24] <mborohovski> fyrestrtr: so if i want both a desktop and server configuration, what easier? install server edition and then configure desktop? or install desktop edition and configure server?
[10:24] <moonlite> i think
[10:24] <cparker> This situation happened when I told it to "Connect to server".
[10:24] <fyrestrtr> mborohovski: install desktop, then ....
[10:24] <fyrestrtr> !lamp
[10:25] <fatejudger> crimsun: well seeing as though MPlayer is the only media player which gives me that error, I'm assuming that it works fine under normal circumstances
[10:25] <ubotu> lamp is a shortcut for Linux-Apache-Mysql-{PHP,Perl,Python}. To setup a LAMP server on Ubuntu, install the packages libapache2-mod-php5, php5-mysql, and mysql-server-5.0. You can also choose 'install a LAMP server' from the server install cd boot menu. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP
[10:25] <mborohovski> i see
[10:25] <mborohovski> what about security settings? i.e. ports left open, etc.
[10:25] <crimsun> fatejudger: it's much easier just to give me the output from ``amixer'' on pastebin
