[03:16] <Elipsn_> hey guys, is there anyway to share all the comon settings between root and a user? For example, share booksmarks, things like that? desktop background, etc?

[03:16] <DK_II> !webmin
[03:16] <ubotu> webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. Please avoid using it.
[03:16] <greyfrog> ehazlett, he's gone :)
[03:16] <docta_v> anyone know where i can get a package that provides flock?
[03:16] <ticky> Eliphas: you downlaod the file, and you do that in your file explorer
[03:16] <|Rkod|> Is anyone listening to me :(
[03:16] <_Michael> idefixx: yup thats what i plan on for the 100-200mb file at least
[03:16] <ehazlett> figures. :)
[03:17] <greyfrog> !patience | |Rkod|
[03:17] <DK_II> hmmm why is webmin no longer supported?

[03:17] <NigelS> geeksauce: use samba
[03:17] <_Michael> idefixx: is dual booting/triple/quad booting better than a VM?
[03:17] <mik1>  First time using this chat. I need to find out how to set the path for realplayer10gold so cbs.com can find the player.
[03:17] <idefixx> _Michael: its more like files, but you dont have to care about that. ubuntu takes care of that
[03:17] <|Rkod|> I'm  very familiar with IRC ibotu
[03:17] <greyfrog> |Rkod|, what was your question
[03:17] <zerro> is the some one that know how to install ubnutu on hardware sata raid ??
[03:17] <NigelS> mik1: use mplayer mozilla - no need for that awful thing
[03:17] <|Rkod|> I just installed kubuntu with wubi
[03:17] <greyfrog> !ubotu | |
[03:17] <ubotu> |: I am ubotu, all-knowing infobot. You can browse my brain at http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl - Usage info: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuBots
[03:17] <_Michael> idefixx: k
[03:17] <|Rkod|> And it installed fine, and the boot loader worked fine as well
[03:17] <greyfrog> !ubotu | |Rkod|
[03:17] <ubotu> |Rkodplease see above
[03:17] <geeksauce> NigelS, but i don't want windows to be able to access my files... only my macs and my friends' macs
[03:17] <obake-san> can anybody help me with getting ubuntu smb shares to be accessible by windows?
[03:18] <|Rkod|> but then it gets stuck at the Kubuntu loading screen, 3 bars into the progress
[03:18] <|Rkod|> i left it alone for 20-25 minutes, with no progress
[03:18] <|Rkod|> I've had debian, redhat, and suse on this machine
[03:18] <NigelS> geeksauce: right - but macs use samba too for sharing
[03:18] <idefixx> _Michael: that depends on what you wanna do... for just trying out an installer i use vm... mostly because i dont have to reboot and im able to listen to music or watch stuff while i install :)
[03:18] <_Michael> idefixx: I have a Celeron 2.2 with 1gb ram and 2 40gb hard drives think i should dual/triple/quad boot instead of a setting up a VM
[03:18] <greyfrog> |Rkod|, try hitting ctrl-alt-F1 to see if there are any errors
[03:18] <NigelS> geeksauce: you can certainly configure an exhaustive list of permitted hosts that are allowed to access your shares in /etc/samba/smb.conf
[03:18] <Ragnaroek> sup
[03:19] <draik> How do I open a COMMAND dialog?
[03:19] <lekremyelse1> ticky: whats GPG?
[03:19] <_Michael> idefixx: I see, which VM would you say?
[03:19] <Ragnaroek> good
[03:19] <|Rkod|> i'll try that and be back
[03:19] <|Rkod|> thank you
[03:19] <geeksauce> NigelS, they CAN, but they use NFS to share with nix computers and other macs
[03:19] <NigelS> draik: apps->accessoroes->terminal
[03:19] <idefixx> _Michael: on linux i use virtual box
[03:19] <_Michael> idefixx: i mean VM software
[03:19] <lekremyelse1> draik: Alt+F2, gnome-terminal
[03:19] <NigelS> geeksauce: you can certainly config NFS if you want too
[03:19] <_Michael> idefixx: well i will be using WindowsXP
[03:19] <ticky> lekremyelse1: Gnu Great Privacy, same as PGP (private great privacy) but free software
[03:19] <idefixx> _Michael: open source free binarys for personal use.. its nice.
[03:19] <idefixx> _Michael: i think there is a windows version, too
[03:19] <_Michael> idefixx: I downloaded VBox today actually for Windows
[03:20] <geeksauce> NigelS, is that difficult to do?
[03:20] <deviantintegral> I have ubuntu running as a media centre with Elisa. How can I get it to automount CD's without a gnome/kde session running?
[03:20] <blueacidfrog> Hello guys i need help with an Video Card in Ubuntu 7.04, if anyone has this card and a little time pleas msg me !
[03:20] <HymnToLife> ticky, GPG = GNU Privacy Guard

[03:20] <blueacidfrog> video[Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller @ Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/PM/GMS/910GML Express Processor to DRAM Controller]
[03:20] <ticky> HymnToLife: you are right
[03:20] <blueacidfrog> its to do with the widescreen problem
[03:20] <draik> NigelS: None of these shortcuts are working for me. I want to run GEDIT as root
[03:20] <HymnToLife> blueacidfrog, why not ask in here ?
[03:20] <_Michael> idefixx: i started to install it and it said something about windows logo and i shouldn't install it but i could or something like that
[03:21] <blueacidfrog> okey
[03:21] <obake-san> can anybody help me with getting ubuntu smb shares to be accessible by windows?
[03:21] <NigelS> geeksauce: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/nfs-server-and-client-configuration-in-ubuntu.html <-- that is a step-by-step guide and it's pretty straightforward
[03:21] <KarlsBerg_> anybody can help me please?  where previos ubuntu versions run good, feisty dont start even the live cd... get xorg caught signal 11. aborting... and cant start..
[03:21] <_Michael> idefixx: have an idea of the error i am talking about
[03:21] <rollerskatejamms> !log
[03:21] <ubotu> Channel logs can be found at http://people.ubuntu.com/~fabbione/irclogs
[03:21] <HymnToLife> !samba | obake-san
[03:21] <ubotu> obake-san: samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[03:21] <IndyGunFreak> KarlsBerg_: you'll probably have to try the alternate install CD.
[03:22] <geeksauce> NigelS, thanks :)
[03:22] <lekremyelse1> draik: sudo gedit
[03:22] <rollerskatejamms> is bootstrap.log just a log of the last boot?
[03:22] <_Michael> idefixx: if not then i will start the installation again and copy the error word for word
[03:22] <obake-san> thanks ubotu
[03:22] <NigelS> draik: the terminal is certainly contained inside apps->accessories->terminal in gnome and alt-f2 is certainly the shortcut for the run dialog - are you in Gnome?
[03:22] <HymnToLife> !gksudo | lekremyelse1
[03:22] <ubotu> lekremyelse1: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use  gksudo , as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Avoid ever using  sudo <GUI-application>  See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo for more info
[03:22] <blueacidfrog> basically the problem with the video[Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller is that i cant get the widescreen option to work ! So now on my laptop i have two black lines on each side of the laptop. Any ideas ?
[03:22] <lekremyelse1> oh  yeah
[03:22] <elm11> ubuntu (feisty) runs perfect on my Dell 3.0 GHz machine. So does Kubuntu (feisty)--However--Kubuntu usually hangs during shutdown. I've reinstalled more than once; on this machine, Kubuntu hangs during shutdown. Anybody suggest a solution?
[03:22] <lekremyelse1> gksu gedit
[03:22] <idefixx> _Michael: no idea, but i guess it might have been the warning that the driver it installs isnt signed or something.
[03:22] <draik> NigelS: I'm sure I'm in GNOME. Believe me, this is not KDE
[03:23] <idefixx> _Michael: usualy nothing bad.. they just dont pay ms to sign a stupid driver.
[03:23] <wastrel> i have ubuntu
[03:23] <NigelS> draik: well then open a terminal and type sudo gedit or alternatively type gksudo gedit in a run dialog
[03:23] <idefixx> _Michael: understanable if you consider they give you the tool for free ;)
[03:23] <_Michael> idefixx: i see, i think it was something like that, i will tell you the extact message though
[03:23] <draik> NigelS: That's just it. I can't get a run dialog
[03:23] <_Michael> idefixx: yeah i see
[03:24] <_Michael> idefixx: def. understandable
[03:24] <NigelS> draik: it's odd that your alt-f key shortcuts don't work
[03:24] <NigelS> draik: you can open a terminal though yes?
[03:24] <NigelS> draik: with the mouse
[03:24] <walrus> how do i create a symbolic link ??
[03:24] <ticky> walrus: ln --help
[03:24] <NigelS> walrus: ln -s at a terminal or middle drag it
[03:24] <wastrel> walrus:  ln -s target linkname
[03:24] <walrus> ticky: thx
[03:24] <draik> NigelS: Yes. I am able to open a terminal.
[03:25] <NigelS> draik: then type sudo gedit to open gedit with root privs
[03:25] <ticky> walrus: you are welcome
[03:25] <Rkod> I'm back
[03:25] <walrus> wastrel: thx
[03:25] <_Michael> idefixx: here is the error/warning
[03:25] <Rkod> it seems that since I started my reinstall of kubuntu with wubi, i can't get to that screen until I'm done
[03:25] <draik> NigelS: I did. What I'm wondering is why I don't have a run dialog
[03:25] <Fezzler> does LiveCD boot to a HFS+ file system?
[03:25] <_Michael> idefixx: it will take a while to type lol
[03:25] <NigelS> draik: earlier you said alt-f3 didn't work either yes?
[03:25] <_Michael> idefixx: i will pm it
[03:25] <draik> NigelS: That is correct
[03:26] <NigelS> draik: do alt-f style shortcuts work in apps?
[03:26] <d3bian> walrus:ln -s /path/to/real/file /path/to/non-existant/file
[03:26] <NigelS> draik: perhaps the wrong keyboard layout is loaded for you?
[03:26] <idefixx> _Michael: go ahead
[03:26] <zerro> how do i install on raid aray ??
[03:26] <draik> NigelS: Could be. I have a Logitech Elite Keyboard
[03:26] <Bacon|ubuntu> Indy, whats the difference between the alternative install and the regular install?
[03:26] <KarlsBerg_> IndyGunFreak,  i never use alternate and run fine (other versions) what diifference have?
[03:27] <Bassetts> why do I have to enter a password into the wallet every time i log in just to get the wireless to work?
[03:27] <draik> NigelS: BRB.. I'm going to restart and see if I did everything ok with the new Splash Screen I chose.
[03:27] <IndyGunFreak> KarlsBerg_: its hard telling...
[03:27] <IndyGunFreak> obviously somethign in the new oneisn't co-operating
[03:27] <deviantintegral> Bassetts: because the password is stored encrypted with your login password
[03:27] <IndyGunFreak> The Alt. Install CD though, itsnot a live cD, its an installer.
[03:27] <KarlsBerg_> and is normal that only suceed with feisy?
[03:27] <bhouncy> ati or nvidia best for ubuntu and beryl?
[03:27] <Bacon|ubuntu> I see
[03:27] <Fezzler> what command line program can I run to tell me how many HD are in this computer?
[03:27] <Bassetts> deviantintegral: is there a way for it to not ask for it, and to just log on to the wlan?
[03:27] <_Michael> idefixx: i just took a screenshot of it lol
[03:27] <d3bian> bhouncy:in my opiion ati
[03:28] <d3bian> *opinion
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: sorry, i was talking to karls..
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> but it answered your question to.
[03:28] <Bacon|ubuntu> Great :D
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> The alternate install CD is completely text based.
[03:28] <Plantain> When offered a tar vs. an rpm which should I take under Ubuntu?
[03:28] <bhouncy> I have 9800pro and it has never worked 3d for any linux
[03:28] <deviantintegral> Bassetts: I'm assuming the keychain is like the OS X or KDE keychain, in which case it's not possible as the keychain is locked
[03:28] <Mr_Awesome> im trying to install nvidia drivers based on the howto, which tells me to go to the Restricted Drivers Manager, but when i go there, all it does is list a single driver and does not automatically find the nvidia driver that i need
[03:28] <zerro> why is there no one that want to help me ??
[03:28] <IndyGunFreak> its not hard, but when you're gettin goofed by the live CD, the alternate CD will usually install.
[03:28] <idefixx> _Michael: just gimme the url
[03:29] <deviantintegral> Bassetts: unless there is some way to not encrypt your keychain, but that's not a good idea at all
[03:29] <NigelS> Plantain: hmm varies - with a program called alien you can convert the rpm to a deb but you might be better expanding the tar which will poss also then involve you compiling the app
[03:29] <IndyGunFreak> zerro: we're all in another room, telling each othernot to help you
[03:29] <_Michael> idefixx: i was just doing that instead lol, just went to iamgeshack
[03:29] <Plantain> nigelS: In this case it's VMWare
[03:29] <Bacon|ubuntu> Indy, ROFL
[03:30] <_Michael> idefixx: http://img512.imageshack.us/img512/3064/warningpg3.jpg
[03:30] <NigelS> Plantain: vmware is in the repository no?
[03:30] <IndyGunFreak> :)
[03:30] <bhouncy> how you reply to name?
[03:30] <Plantain> NigelS: Not workstation I don't think
[03:30] <pooranimator> Scunizi, r u there ?
[03:30] <pike_> vmware player.. id download the server from vmware's site
[03:30] <Mr_Awesome> when i try change the device from vesa to nvidia in xorg.conf, i get an error that the nvidia module could not be loaded and x doesnt start
[03:30] <idefixx> _Michael: yep what i said.. just install it.
[03:30] <idefixx> _Michael: it just means the driver isnt signed by ms.. prefectly normal for free tools.
[03:30] <_Michael> idefixx: k, wasn't too sure, thats
[03:31] <_Michael> idefixx: thanks*

[03:32] <Mr_Awesome> how can i get the nvidia drivers for my card on feisty?
[03:32] <Plantain> Speaking of which, I've installed the NVIDIA driver, is that a generic NVIDIA driver (Meaning there's a better ones), or is that the best driver I can have?
[03:32] <_Michael> idefixx: the other day my brother saw me looking at other OS he called me stupid and said Windows is the best your just wasting your time with installing another one
[03:32] <MacDrunk> hello
[03:32] <_Michael> idefixx: i just laughed and walked away

[03:33] <nicklas> rofl
[03:33] <_Michael> he is with computers
[03:33] <NigelS> Plantain: looking a bit into it I think you should get the tar
[03:33] <IndyGunFreak> cam: are you trying to compile it, or are you instaling it via synaptic?
[03:33] <Plantain> Thanks, I will
[03:33] <_Michael> if it works he is lucky bascially lol

[03:34] <novato_br> i'm very help with it
[03:34] <NigelS> Plantain: this is useful - you will need the kernel headers and build essentials (compiler tools) --> http://users.piuha.net/martti/comp/ubuntu/install.html#7
[03:34] <docta_v> is there an ubuntu package that provides flock?
[03:34] <docta_v> as in file lock
[03:34] <nicklas> Good bye everybody!

[03:34] <docta_v> it's part of binutils
[03:34] <novato_br> wow, it's a lot people in here
[03:35] <Plantain> NigelS: Okay, I've got the build essentials, I'll check kernel headers
[03:35] <docta_v> weird that it's not there
[03:35] <_Michael> idefixx: so just use VM until i find the distro that i like and then either dual boot or just use linux
[03:35] <Planet-X> hey guys i have a problem heh
[03:35] <novato_br> it's aswone
[03:35] <Planet-X> video windows won't show video only play audio after i installed Beryl

[03:35] <Planet-X> what's up with that?
[03:35] <IndyGunFreak> docta_v: open syanptic, and search for Flock, only 3 things come up for me, the first one looks like it might work, but i don't know much about flock
[03:35] <_Michael> idefixx: i will need windowsxp for some programs thats the reason why i would keep it
[03:35] <Bacon|ubuntu> ok
[03:35] <Bacon|ubuntu> indy
[03:35] <Bacon|ubuntu> wish me luck
[03:35] <IndyGunFreak> yo?
[03:35] <idefixx> _Michael: i'd go with dual booting for a while... its allways good to have more than one os. even if the other one is windows
[03:35] <IndyGunFreak> lol

[03:36] <Bacon|ubuntu> I'm going to be pissed
[03:36] <NigelS> bhouncy: start typing their name and press tab to complete it in most clients
[03:36] <Bacon|ubuntu> i have two computers
[03:36] <Bacon|ubuntu> :)))
[03:36] <_Michael> idefixx: lol i like how you put that, even if its windows lol
[03:36] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: well, if ti doesn't work, i'd just stick with Windows for the forseeable future(or until you're willing to re-wire your mbr)
[03:36] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: oh ok.
[03:36] <freak_> irc.langochat.net
[03:36] <bhouncy> NigelS, oooooooooh.. ty

[03:37] <_Michael> idefixx: k thanks, do you know how to setup the vm with 2 hard drives?
[03:37] <bhouncy> _Michael, hi!
[03:37] <Bacon|ubuntu> Indy, I'm trying to get this on my laptop. dont forget, I'm using vista
[03:37] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: oh ok.

[03:38] <bhouncy> Bacon|ubuntu, just testing this tab name thingy
[03:38] <idefixx> _Michael: you'll have to create a virtual harddisk with 'virtual drive manager' its basicly a file where the vm stores its stuff in.
[03:38] <IndyGunFreak> bhouncy: it works quite wel.. :)
[03:38] <idefixx> _Michael: after that just click on new and tell it to boot the cd you want.
[03:38] <bhouncy> IndyGunFreak, :)
[03:38] <_Michael> idefixx: k i see
[03:38] <cam> bhouncy,  lol i learned it too
[03:39] <_Michael> idefixx: so i can tell it to go to either hard drive when i first create it?
[03:39] <bhouncy> cam, lol
[03:39] <blueacidfrog> !915resolution
[03:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about 915resolution - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[03:41] <fuzzyhair> I need to convert an ogg file to avi or mp4. I know how to with mencoder, but I need to change the scale to 640:480. How can I add a scale change to this command: mencoder movie.ogg -o movie.avi -ovc lavc -oac lavc ?
[03:41] <llol> how do i change the color of how the fonts come out when i remove the "QUIET" command from the boot grub?
[03:41] <IndyGunFreak> gnychis: google Grub error 17.. it will take you to a page that explains grub errors.
[03:41] <IndyGunFreak> fixing it, is another issue...
[03:42] <MacDrunk> i dll netscape how do i install netscape?
[03:42] <MacDrunk> cand find install file
[03:42] <llol> how do i change the font color on the console during boot up
[03:42] <NigelS> MacDrunk: is there a particular reason you want netscape over firefox?
[03:42] <Jordan_U> MacDrunk, Why are you installing netscape?
[03:42] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: thas wierd, cuz the alt. installer has always saw my USB drives.
[03:42] <MacDrunk> well firefox wont letme go to my webmail page
[03:42] <Fezzler> Nigels:  HMM.   I suggest chaning ISP :) but anyway, what you downloaded will be default go to the desktop I believe if you used the install firefox
[03:43] <Planet-X> hey anyone help me with my video problems?
[03:44] <Jordan_U> !anyone | Planet-X
[03:44] <ubotu> Planet-X: 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?
[03:44] <MacDrunk> hmm
[03:44] <IndyGunFreak> wireless ubuntu, somethign i only see in my dreams.
[03:44] <Bacon|ubuntu> Noah, USB ethernet cards do not work with ubuntu current
[03:44] <Noah> Bacon|ubuntu: Yeah, I am.  With ndiswrapper.  It recognizes my device.
[03:44] <Planet-X> it's like my codecs aren't there, it shows a black screen and i hear the audio, sometimes it flickers a video frame
[03:44] <NigelS> Fezzler: I see; it ought to spot it if you do fdisk -l /dev/sdb (assuming that is its desig) you can examine it
[03:44] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: they work, they just require hoop jumping
[03:44] <MacDrunk> idefixx any ideas where to find those plugins
[03:44] <IndyGunFreak> mainly NDIS wrapper
[03:44] <Noah> Bacon|ubuntu: I'm using Edgy.
[03:44] <Planet-X> vlc, movie player, etc.
[03:44] <idefixx> MacDrunk: also what NigelS said.. change isp :)
[03:44] <MacDrunk> yea right away
[03:44] <Jordan_U> Planet-X, Are you using Compiz / Beryl?
[03:44] <Bacon|ubuntu> Noah, same here, I had the same thing. It recognizes my card, but doesn't work
[03:44] <IndyGunFreak> Noah: well, if it doesn't work in the current version, its probably not gona work in an old version
[03:44] <Planet-X> yup
[03:44] <Planet-X> Beryl
[03:44] <Planet-X> i thought i quit it tho
[03:45] <Planet-X> but needless
[03:45] <obake-san> anybody able to help? i cant figure out what in smb.conf to change in order to set a user and password for shared folders
[03:45] <MacDrunk> hey what prog do you use as irc chat?
[03:45] <Noah> Bacon|ubuntu:  Damn.
[03:45] <IndyGunFreak> MacDrunk: xchat.. any other is just a pretender
[03:45] <Noah> Bacon|ubuntu:  There' sn ot possible way for it to work?
[03:45] <Jordan_U> Planet-X, Turn off direct rendering in mplayer
[03:45] <idefixx> MacDrunk: i guess on the firfox plugin page. Tools->Addons GetExtensions.
[03:45] <Planet-X> k
[03:45] <NigelS> MacDrunk: I use irssi
[03:45] <MacDrunk> i have xchat genome
[03:45] <Jordan_U> I am trying to share my internet connection from the device ath0 to the device eth1 using Firestarter but when I try to start the firewall I get an error that "device eth1 is not ready" what does this mean?
[03:45] <NigelS> IndyGunFreak: lies ;)
[03:45] <Noah> Bacon|ubuntu:  My network is even recognized.
[03:45] <IndyGunFreak> NigelS: i swear, you irssi people..lol, yu need your own channel..lol
[03:45] <Fezzler> Nigel: I have a dead iMAc G5 HD I'm trying to recover files from so I tried making in the second drive in my Ubuntu box and ran fdisk -l, no results
[03:45] <novato_br> NigelS, is good this irssi ?
[03:46] <pike_> MacDrunk: gui prog use xchat ssh'd in use irssi
[03:46] <Noah> IndyGunFreak:  What hoops do I have to jump?
[03:46] <NigelS> IndyGunFreak: but then no one would be offering help ;)
[03:46] <idefixx> IndyGunFreak: IRSSI rules all!
[03:46] <novato_br> fuzzyhair, plz, i need your help
[03:46] <MacDrunk> ok
[03:48] <fuzzyhair> novato, yes?
[03:48] <IndyGunFreak> Noah: hoops to jumP?.. sorry, i must have been beign creative, what was i referring to?
[03:48] <MacDrunk> idefixx no addons
[03:48] <NigelS> novato_br: it is good but maybe not for beginners - it's entirely text based
[03:48] <Bacon|ubuntu> ok Indy, it detected my hd
[03:48] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: lol
[03:48] <MacDrunk> need to find some like emulate netscape core or something
[03:48] <IndyGunFreak> I KNEW I WAS RIGHT
[03:48] <Jordan_U> Fezzler, I would recommend running it in target disk mode and recovering the files from another comp if possible.
[03:48] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[03:48] <NigelS> Fezzler: and is the drive seen by your BIOS?
[03:48] <novato_br> yep, NigelS, i like it
[03:48] <idefixx> MacDrunk: what means no addons.. im certain there is a ton of addons there.
[03:48] <novato_br> i use the mIRC
[03:48] <novato_br> heehe
[03:48] <IndyGunFreak> mirc?. is there a linux client for that?
[03:48] <novato_br> sorry
[03:48] <fuzzyhair> novato_br: what do you need?
[03:48] <Noah> IndyGunFreak:  Using USB ethernet cards.
[03:48] <pike_> hes running it in wine :)
[03:48] <novato_br> i'm on win, now
[03:48] <novato_br> but i use xchat on linux version
[03:48] <Blast_Hardcheese> Hey all, I've got a question about Bengali charsets/fonts in webpages, I can't seem to get this one page working.
[03:48] <IndyGunFreak> Noah: oh..., if you've got it setup with NDIS Wrapper.., then it should work, sorry, i don't have any experience with wireless(i sit at a desk)
[03:48] <novato_br> i'm learning about ubuntu distro
[03:48] <Planet-X> jordan i just installed mplayer and direct rendering is turned off.
[03:48] <NigelS> hmmm, good old mIRC - rooting boxes since 1997(tm)
[03:48] <IndyGunFreak> !ndiswrapper
[03:48] <Blast_Hardcheese> Is there some bengali package I can install for these fonts?
[03:48] <Noah> IndyGunFreak:  I do have ti set up with ndiswrapper.
[03:48] <IndyGunFreak> Noah: and its recognized?
[03:48] <novato_br> fuzzyhair, i'd like know about encoding on linux
[03:48] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:48] <Noah> IndyGunFreak:  Yeah, but won't connect with my code.
[03:48] <IndyGunFreak> hmm.
[03:48] <IndyGunFreak> don't know..
[03:48] <Noah> IndyGunFreak:  I got a secure network, that probably has something to do with it.
[03:48] <jona_> What is the recommended download manager???
[03:48] <Noah> IndyGunFreak:  Thank's for the help.
[03:49] <novato_br> fuzzyhair, do you use what is the software?
[03:49] <idefixx> MacDrunk: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59 addon is called user agend swticher.
[03:49] <IndyGunFreak> Noah: maybe.. you might try Feisty, its supposed to have good support for setting up wireless.. but again, id on't know.. ask around
[03:49] <NigelS> jona_: d4x is a common frontend for wget
[03:49] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: is it installing?
[03:49] <fuzzyhair> novato_br: yes, I use mencoder.
[03:49] <Fezzler> Nigel: did try bios
[03:49] <novato_br> what do you use software to get encodes?
[03:49] <novato_br> mencoder
[03:49] <jona_> THX
[03:50] <Fezzler> just put Ubuntu LiveCD in drawer and booted to it
[03:50] <fuzzyhair> novato: yes, it's in the repositories.
[03:50] <novato_br> fuzzyhair, can you get encode from RAW to h264 ?
[03:50] <CRASH69> any favorite ftp client, and a download manager?
[03:50] <Fezzler> Nigel: should I reboot and access bios?
[03:50] <NigelS> Fezzler: I mean does the defective drive appear in the BIOS even? if it's not seen in HW it certainly won't be seen in software by linux
[03:50] <IndyGunFreak> thats amazing, the live cd booted from your drawer
[03:50] <novato_br> fuzzyhair, do you encode animes?
[03:50] <NigelS> Fezzler: check to see yeah
[03:50] <Blast_Hardcheese> Is there anyone here who knows anything about the charset needed to view www.manabzamin.net? I've been trying for the past couple of hours, I can't seem to get it.
[03:50] <ubuntuDude> hi guys, seems like my ubuntu partition is running out... how do i allocate more space to it from the unused windows partition
[03:50] <Blast_Hardcheese> I'd really appreciate help
[03:50] <ubunt1> !nvidia
[03:50] <Fezzler> Nigel great idea
[03:50] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[03:50] <fuzzyhair> novato: yes, but you can also use VLC for that.
[03:50] <Jordan_U> CRASH69, wget
[03:50] <IndyGunFreak> ubuntu-rocks: you probably need to look at gparted
[03:50] <pike_> !resize | ubuntuDude
[03:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about resize - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:51] <IndyGunFreak> !gparted
[03:51] <ubotu> GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type  sudo apt-get install gparted  in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[03:51] <pike_> ubuntuDude: gparted is the app you want
[03:51] <Jordan_U> I am trying to share my internet connection from the device ath0 to the device eth1 using Firestarter but when I try to start the firewall I get an error that "device eth1 is not ready" what does this mean?
[03:51] <ubuntuDude> pike_ : is it usable from windows or ubuntu
[03:51] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: did you go with the 32bit installer, or the 64
[03:51] <novato_br> my friends are encoding on win, because they think is even better, but i think that linux is better to encode.
[03:51] <IndyGunFreak> ?
[03:51] <novato_br> fuzzyhair, what do you think ?
[03:51] <pike_> ubuntuDude: from a livecd gparted has its own or linux
[03:51] <fuzzyhair> novato_br: yes, but you can also use VLC for that.
[03:51] <NigelS> Jordan_U: hmm, what is the state of eth1 if you ifconfig eth1
[03:52] <Mr_Awesome> i just upgraded to feisty, but when i boot x fails to start and says "failed to load module "nvidia"". ive tried using the Restricted Drivers Manager, but that does not help. can anybody help me?
[03:52] <fuzzyhair> novato_br: If you are using the same encoder it's the same thing.
[03:52] <pike_> ubuntuDude: consider making /home a sep partition and a sep partition for music and movies at least
[03:52] <mariocesar_bo> hi all, what can i do to replace the art covers from Rhythmbox, with ones from my own ?
[03:52] <Fezzler> Nigel: Bios doesn't see it.  Dead drive?
[03:52] <IndyGunFreak> brb
[03:52] <novato_br> ok
[03:52] <Jordan_U> NigelS, I am just connected to one other comp through a crossover cable
[03:52] <[H] Elipsn> Well this is day two with linux, loving it so far, and figuring it out fast.....can you fella's recommend some cool apps for me to download? utilities you like/use alot? links?
[03:52] <novato_br> but on linux, isn't it more stable enconde?
[03:53] <CRASH69> Jordan_U: ok, thx
[03:53] <pike_> Mr_Awesome: ideally, all you should need to do is 1) sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx  2) sudo nvidia-xconfig
[03:53] <jona_> #ubuntu-ar
[03:53] <MacDrunk> idefixx install super agent but only vista
[03:53] <bobbob> i need help
[03:53] <Jordan_U> CRASH69, Use wget -c and it will continue interrupted downloads
[03:53] <novato_br> fuzzyhair: ubuntu doesn't have a encode channel ?
[03:53] <idefixx> MacDrunk: did you see the addon i linked you?
[03:53] <Mr_Awesome> pike_: i already have nvidia-glx. ill try doing nvidia-xconfig. thanks
[03:53] <NigelS> Fezzler: potentially yeah - you might need a prof to get data off it - one trick that can work is to change the logic board (if that's the faulty component) but it requires a matching controller - in any even unless you have such an identical unit lying around you will prob need to pay someone who does.  THe data might be intact..  Alternatively the reason it doesn't appear in the bios could be due to a bios setting
[03:54] <MacDrunk> yes i use that one
[03:54] <MacDrunk> but once installed says on the install options of super agent vista version
[03:54] <Fezzler> Nigel: ever hear of putting drive in zip lock and freezer and then booting?
[03:55] <NigelS> Fezzler: yes :)
[03:55] <fuzzyhair> novato_br: it's pretty much the same. Encoding is a hourly process, not years. The stability would not really matter. I think it's actually easier to encode in Windows, because Windows has SUPER
[03:55] <NigelS> Fezzler: I'm not convinced I've ever seen it work, though I've seen it tried
[03:55] <fuzzyhair> novato_br: I don't know about ubuntu having a channel like that?
[03:55] <NigelS> Fezzler: the prob is, if that doesnt work - it sure as hell won't work again :)
[03:56] <bobbob> ok like
[03:56] <bobbob> im trying to install ubuntu
[03:56] <bobbob> or even just get the live cd to load
[03:56] <idefixx> MacDrunk: does it? seems to work for me... gimme a sec
[03:56] <bobbob> but it wont load on this computer
[03:56] <bobbob> it just contines to load windows
[03:56] <bobbob> i changed it in the F12
[03:56] <bobbob> boot sequence
[03:56] <bobbob> all that
[03:56] <bobbob> still nothing
[03:56] <MacDrunk> i know why is not working
[03:56] <bobbob> why
[03:57] <MacDrunk> user agent is for a older version of firefox i have the newest one
[03:57] <novato_br> don't you think stability is matter?
[03:57] <novato_br> i do
[03:57] <bobbob> can anyone help me
[03:57] <pike_> bobbob: livecd is a headache if it doesnt just work. id use the alternate install cd
[03:57] <geeksauce> ok guys, i seriously screwed up.  upstairs on the box i was just on, i disabled the nvidia driver and after a reboot i can't see anything on that computer
[03:57] <bobbob> i have that too
[03:57] <Jordan_U> bobbob, Are you sure the CD burned correctly, and did you just put the .iso file on the disk or did you burn the disk from the iso image?
[03:57] <novato_br> because on linux, i can run a lot things while windows i can't run them
[03:57] <NigelS> bobbob: when you burnt the disc was it made bootable? some software seems to need to do that
[03:57] <bobbob> yes i am
[03:57] <pike_> bobbob: oh nevermind you just need to boot cd
[03:57] <idefixx> MacDrunk: <IP_ADDRESS> is the newest one as far as i know.
[03:57] <bobbob> i know the diff between image and iso
[03:58] <IndyGunFreak> geeksauce: you probably need to recongifure x-server
[03:58] <MacDrunk> yea
[03:58] <Fezzler> Nigel: Thanks.  I think I have to resign myself to fact that this drive is bad and I learned a hard lesson re: backups
[03:58] <Jordan_U> bobbob, Do other bootable CDs work?
[03:58] <xipietotec> how do I convert a .bz to a .tar?
[03:58] <NigelS> Fezzler: :(
[03:58] <bobbob> nope.. none on this pc
[03:58] <bobbob> but they work on my other
[03:58] <NigelS> xipietotec: bunzip
[03:58] <idefixx> MacDrunk: works perfectly over here.
[03:58] <pike_> xipietotec: tar isnt compressed you want tar.gz?
[03:58] <MacDrunk> brr
[03:58] <geeksauce> IndyGunFreak: how can i do that if i'm getting anything on teh display?
[03:58] <bobbob> other pc is a compaq... this is s a dell
[03:58] <MacDrunk> nevermind
[03:58] <idefixx> MacDrunk: justed check my webserver logs
[03:58] <xipietotec> NigelS, I know bunzip, I don't know the command syntax
[03:58] <bobbob> for some reason i cant get it to work
[03:58] <MacDrunk> ok
[03:59] <MacDrunk> give
[03:59] <Jordan_U> bobbob, Do you have a floppy drive?
[03:59] <bobbob> nope
[03:59] <bobbob> wait
[03:59] <IndyGunFreak> geeksauce: you're not getting an error or anything, most the time on a driver prob, it'll kick you to a CLI
[03:59] <DerangedDingo> can someone instruct me on how to use vncviewer? my friend is running a vncserver, and I have the tcp port being used but it says it can't convert the argument to a host address
[03:59] <bobbob> no no i dont
[03:59] <xipietotec> pike_, either or is fine, I just need to convert it from .bz so the theme manager will recognize the package
[03:59] <Jordan_U> bobbob, Can you boot from USB?
[03:59] <Mr_Awesome> pike_: that made an improvement, but apparently the nvidia kernel module failed to load
[03:59] <bobbob> i tried to
[03:59] <bobbob> i wont work for either of my external usb hdd .. or a flash drive
[03:59] <_Brett_> where can i get a list of the packages on the current ubuntu release?
[03:59] <MacDrunk> idenfixx
[03:59] <geeksauce> geeksauce: i heard the login screen sound play but the screen is black
[03:59] <geeksauce> oops
[03:59] <wastrel> !packages | _Brett_
[03:59] <ubotu> _Brett_: You can browse and search for Ubuntu packages using !Synaptic, !Adept, "apt-cache search <keywords>", the "apt:/" URL in KDE, or online at http://packages.ubuntu.com - Ubuntu has about 20000 packages available, so please *search* for an official package before installing things in awkward ways!
[04:00] <Tarkus> anyone here use banshee music player? im trying to figure out why it gives me this error when i try to import these files: http://img482.imageshack.us/img482/3603/screenshotld0.png
[04:00] <Tarkus> any ideas?
[04:00] <geeksauce> indygunfreak: screen is all black
[04:00] <Jordan_U> bobbob, You could try wubuntu, the unofficial .exe installer, but that is still beta
[04:00] <_Brett_> does it come with all the needed tools for writing mono apps?
[04:00] <IndyGunFreak> geeksauce: hm, thats not good.
[04:00] <bobbob> its tickin me off...
[04:00] <bobbob> i really wanted to install ubuntu
[04:00] <bobbob> :  (
[04:00] <Jordan_U> bobbob, You could try wubuntu, the unofficial .exe installer, but that is still beta
[04:01] <bobbob> i saw that...
[04:01] <NigelS> xipietotec: just bunzip2 should do it. tar -xjvf passes it through bunzip2 first and then untars it
[04:01] <geeksauce> indygunfreak: i heard the login screen noise play when it finished booting up
[04:01] <IndyGunFreak> geeksauce: hmm, that sounds even worse..lol
[04:01] <geeksauce> indygunfreak: but no CLI
[04:01] <MacDrunk> hey
[04:01] <Bacon|ubuntu> ok
[04:01] <Bacon|ubuntu> Indy, round five
[04:01] <MacDrunk> anyone here knows a good cellphone wholesaler???
[04:02] <Bacon|ubuntu> if this doesn't work
[04:02] <bobbob> any other ideas
[04:02] <Bacon|ubuntu> I'm dropping linux
[04:02] <bobbob> maybe im doing something wrong
[04:02] <MacDrunk> no
[04:02] <geeksauce> indygunfreak what should i do?
[04:02] <MacDrunk> bacon
[04:02] <MacDrunk> what ya need
[04:02] <IndyGunFreak> geeksauce: you got me
[04:02] <Bacon|ubuntu> MacDrunk, I have a USB HDD
[04:02] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: i don't see why it wouldn't work
[04:02] <Bacon|ubuntu> I want to install linux on there
[04:02] <MacDrunk> whats the prob bacon
[04:02] <Bacon|ubuntu> for grub
[04:02] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: is it installing?
[04:02] <xipietotec> thankyou NigelS =)
[04:02] <Bacon|ubuntu> indy, working on it now
[04:02] <bobbob> for some reason it wont let me boot to a usb device..
[04:02] <bobbob> like an external hdd
[04:02] <MacDrunk> hmm on a usb hdd and have win on other hdd
[04:03] <Bacon|ubuntu> Yes, mac
[04:03] <NigelS> bobbob: this isn't an ubuntu issue per se, you're just having trouble booting off a CD - this could be because the CD wasn't burnt properly or some issue with the BIOS
[04:03] <Bacon|ubuntu> But i took the win hdd out
[04:03] <geeksauce> indygunfreak is there some kind of key combo i can hold down at bootup that will force CLI?
[04:03] <Bacon|ubuntu> cause I didn't want grub installed on hd0
[04:03] <NigelS> xipietotec: np
[04:03] <Bacon|ubuntu> Does that make sense?
[04:03] <Snyperx> Evening everyone.
[04:03] <bobbob> its not the cd... it works fine on other pcs
[04:03] <MacDrunk> hmm why don you install a boot loader on hd0 and the ubunto on the hdd usb drive
[04:03] <MacDrunk> ???
[04:03] <Plantain> will apt-get upgrade update *all* my packages, or update my whole OS to the next OS above?
[04:03] <wastrel> geeksauce:  you can hit esc when grub is loading , get the grub menu and choose the recovery image
[04:03] <Snyperx> Does anyone know when Ubuntu will use WPA security?
[04:03] <Bacon|ubuntu> because I'm running vista on the hd0
[04:03] <IndyGunFreak> MacDrunk: because he has vista.
[04:04] <Plantain> I just want to do an update of all my package from the cmdline rather than synaptic
[04:04] <bobbob> so i mean
[04:04] <NigelS> bobbob: then there's something up with the drive/bios settings if it's not even reading the disc before booting windows's bootloader
[04:04] <wastrel> geeksauce:  do you get a console with ctrl-alt-f1 ?
[04:04] <Plantain> Snyperx: it does already
[04:04] <MacDrunk> hmm so do as i do
[04:04] <bobbob> in the bios i changed the boot process
[04:04] <bobbob> still nothing
[04:04] <Snyperx> Really?
[04:04] <Toma-> Bacon|ubuntu: sounds like a tricky install
[04:04] <bobbob> changed it to ide cd drive
[04:04] <Bacon|ubuntu> AND, I'd like to port my USB drive to any machine, and just point the BIOS to my usb and not have to worry about grub all the time
[04:04] <Snyperx> Where are the setting located?
[04:04] <Bacon|ubuntu> Toma, it is
[04:04] <Plantain> Yeah, I believe so
[04:04] <MacDrunk> burn an old laptop and use it to run linux
[04:04] <geeksauce> wastrel: hang on.. lemme run try that
[04:04] <NigelS> Plantain: use apt-get dist-upgrade if you want to do it that way]
[04:04] <Jordan_U> Planet-X, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade will update all your packages
[04:04] <Plantain> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[04:04] <Bacon|ubuntu> Problem is, ubuntu has problems installing grub to sda, which is the designation for my usb drive
[04:05] <Snyperx> Thanks I'll have a read
[04:05] <geeksauce> wastrel, if that works, what should i do to reconfigure x?
[04:05] <Toma-> Bacon|ubuntu: my opinion, make the Vista bootloader look for grub, that will be installed onto the usb hdd. dont put grub on the MBR
[04:05] <Plantain> NigelS: So use apt-get dist-upgrade wont update me to 7.10 (I don't want that)?
[04:05] <Jordan_U> NigelS, No, apt-get dist-upgrade will still just give you the newest packages for the version you are currently running
[04:05] <wastrel> geeksauce:  sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:05] <Bacon|ubuntu> Toma?
[04:05] <Plantain> Okay, thanks
[04:05] <Bacon|ubuntu> vista bootloader can detect grub?
[04:05] <MacDrunk> nopw
[04:05] <geeksauce> wastrel: k brb
[04:05] <MacDrunk> nope user agent is not working for me
[04:05] <wastrel> geeksauce:  if this is a fresh install you might want sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade  first
[04:05] <Toma-> Bacon|ubuntu: no, it will pass the boot process to the USB drive, then grub will burst to life
[04:05] <wastrel> so as to have the freshest packages.
[04:05] <wastrel> (it will take a while)
[04:06] <bobbob> like
[04:06] <Bacon|ubuntu> You do that through bios by having the usb drive as first priority
[04:06] <Bacon|ubuntu> YES
[04:06] <Bacon|ubuntu> I know
[04:06] <bobbob> when windows is already booted
[04:06] <bobbob> and i put in the live cd..
[04:06] <NigelS> Jordan_U: yes I know, my point was that dist-upgrade is a more sensible option than upgrade in terms of maintaining packages
[04:06] <bobbob> it loades it and comes up
[04:06] <bobbob> has a button that says .. boot live cd
[04:06] <bobbob> but it wont let me click it
[04:06] <incandenzian> I've downloaded everything needed to play movies encoded with Divx/XViD, but Totem keeps saying it can't play them because of the absence of those codecs/support for those codecs.
[04:06] <MacDrunk> boob
[04:06] <IndyGunFreak> Toma-: you're a bit late, the installer kept crashing when trying to put grub on the usb drive
[04:06] <NigelS> Plantain: it won't update to the next version unless your sources are set to the next version
[04:06] <bobbob> mes macdrunk
[04:06] <incandenzian> what gives?
[04:06] <Plantain> Okay, thanks
[04:06] <bobbob> *yes
[04:06] <IndyGunFreak> he tried that for a couple hours..lol
[04:06] <Toma-> IndyGunFreak: ahh.
[04:07] <Toma-> errors?
[04:07] <Bacon|ubuntu> Indy, both 6.06 32bit and 7.00 64bit
[04:07] <IndyGunFreak> Toma-: yeah, id on't remember its exact wording..
[04:07] <MacDrunk> so let me refrase yourself you dont have a hdd installed on your pc?
[04:07] <Bacon|ubuntu> gave both errors
[04:07] <Planet-X> Jordan_U: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded
[04:07] <MacDrunk> only a usb hdd?
[04:07] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: i know.. cuz they install grub the same way
[04:07] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: Unable to install grub. This is a fatal error
[04:07] <Jordan_U> Planet-X, Then you have the newest versions of everything
[04:07] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: are you getting that version now, or did that happen earlier?
[04:07] <Planet-X> videos work fine without Beryl
[04:07] <Planet-X> was reading on google, people are having this problem anyway
[04:08] <Bacon|ubuntu> I have it on a disk
[04:08] <Bacon|ubuntu> and I'm installing it right now
[04:08] <Planet-X> if i dont run it the videos and audio work from a .avi, but if i run beryl the video goes black.
[04:08] <Bacon|ubuntu> 6% through
[04:08] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: oh ok.. what version are you installing... 6.06, 6.10, or 7.04?
[04:08] <Jordan_U> Planet-X, Turn off direct rendering in gmplayer
[04:08] <myusrnm> guys, i

[04:08] <IndyGunFreak> welll, i believe all 3 versions were linked there.
[04:09] <IndyGunFreak> whats the name of the iso you downloaded?
[04:09] <Planet-X> hmm the other one's Totem
[04:09] <Planet-X> and there's no option for it.
[04:09] <Bacon|ubuntu> i386
[04:09] <myusrnm> wait, guys, i need help playing a real audio file.
[04:09] <Bacon|ubuntu> it was 32bit
[04:09] <myusrnm> i don't know hoe.
[04:09] <Planet-X> jordan, even with it off and beryl running no video man
[04:09] <myusrnm> *how
[04:09] <Planet-X> anyways..
[04:09] <Bacon|ubuntu> omg
[04:09] <Bacon|ubuntu> 52% through
[04:09] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: iknow it was 32bit, but what version.. it'll be in the file name

[04:09] <Jordan_U> Planet-X, I don't know how to change it in totem, you probably need to change it in gstreamer since that is what totem uses
[04:09] <Toma-> myusrnm: you need realplayer, better yet, something that decodes realaudio to something good
[04:09] <Bacon|ubuntu> I'm sure
[04:09] <Scz1> hi, is it possible to burn a dvd from the same drive that I am running feisty live cd?

[04:11] <Scz1> jordan_u: I see the paradox, but I'm stuck. I have 1gig.. do you have a link to a doc somewhere?

[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> oh ok
[04:12] <wastrel> geeksauce:  also, you may want to   sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade    if this is a fresh install, to get the latest updates
[04:12] <Bacon|ubuntu> Things take time indy
[04:12] <geeksauce> wastrel: just that command by itself?
[04:12] <wastrel> (it will take a while)
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: wel, if anything, i think you win the "most problematic install" of the day award..lol
[04:12] <bobbob> I NEED HELP
[04:12] <neil_feisty> how do i mount a floppy drive in ubuntu

[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: easy..
[04:13] <MacDrunk> my isp only acepts ie or netscapr browsers
[04:13] <MacDrunk> dam
[04:13] <Jordan_U> Scz1, Actually, you may be able to do it with a GIG of ram as long as you use the CD version of knoppix, just start it with the "toram" cheat code and it will load the CD into RAM and boot completely from RAM, then you can eject the CD and do whatever you want with the drive :)
[04:13] <NigelS> Bacon|ubuntu: he presses tab to complete it? :)
[04:13] <geeksauce> wastrel: brb again
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: hit the first few letters of my name(for instance, Indy).. then hit tab.. and it will auto complete my name
[04:13] <gnomefreak> Bacon|ubuntu: tab
[04:13] <Bacon|ubuntu> Bacon|ubuntu
[04:13] <Bacon|ubuntu> I see...
[04:13] <Jordan_U> MacDrunk, Did you try user agent switcher?
[04:13] <Bacon|ubuntu> just like linux
[04:13] <MacDrunk> yes
[04:13] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[04:13] <MacDrunk> and wont work
[04:13] <Pelo> borderline off topic but ... does anyone know any myst like quest for linux ?
[04:13] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: thats pretty cool
[04:13] <bobbob> anyoen have any sugestions for me
[04:13] <Jordan_U> MacDrunk, Try IE4linux
[04:13] <bobbob> i cant get ubuntu to even load
[04:13] <bobbob> or install
[04:13] <MacDrunk> ok
[04:14] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: yeah, plus it highlights the text for the person you're sending it to.
[04:14] <darwich> " To get Beryl working, and everytime I do so, the Topbar of the windows disappear, so I cant either move, resize, minimize, or close them. Anyone got a solution for this problem? Thanks.
[04:14] <IndyGunFreak> also sounds a bell, if you've got it configured
[04:14] <Scz1> jordan_u: ok, I think I have an older one. I'll try that.. thanks very much!
[04:14] <Pelo> bobbob,  can you get as far as the boot menu ?
[04:14] <Bacon|ubuntu> Not on mIRC it doesn't
[04:14] <NigelS> bobbob: no you can't get a CD to boot - this is somewhat different - will any CD boot in this PC?
[04:14] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: cuz mirc sucks..lol, when you get ubuntu installed, try xchat
[04:14] <wastrel> darwich:  ask on #ubuntu-effects

[04:14] <MacDrunk> im on it
[04:14] <Bacon|ubuntu> So i know how the install goes
[04:14] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: then why do you use mirc?...
[04:15] <IndyGunFreak> xchat rox.
[04:15] <novato_br> fuzzyhair, how many long time do you use mencode ?
[04:15] <StreetSpirit> question- im a linux newbie.. completely.. i can use a shell but have never installed a copy.. if i want to dual boot,
[04:15] <Bacon|ubuntu> cause I have USB nic card
[04:15] <Bacon|ubuntu> which deson't work
[04:15] <StreetSpirit> and already have xp loaded, how would i go about it?
[04:15] <IndyGunFreak> ah.. yeah those are fun
[04:15] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: fun to say the least
[04:15] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: if i were you, i'd buy a cable/dsl modem that wasn't usb, so i could use internet access under Ubuntu
[04:15] <StreetSpirit> anyone? will ubuntu recognize the windows xp boot info or will there be fire and brimstone :)
[04:16] <Bacon|ubuntu> its not the cable/dsl
[04:16] <IndyGunFreak> fire and brimstone
[04:16] <StreetSpirit> hehe
[04:16] <Bacon|ubuntu> its just the wireless card
[04:16] <StreetSpirit> how would i go about it ?
[04:16] <Bacon|ubuntu> wireless USB nic
[04:16] <IndyGunFreak> oh ok.
[04:16] <idnzor2> hi, i was wondering where the default location for tomcat apps wre in ubuntu - i have always used apache which sotres them in /var/www
[04:16] <Bacon|ubuntu> ndiswrapper does nother
[04:16] <Bacon|ubuntu> madwifi
[04:16] <IndyGunFreak> StreetSpirit: it should recognize your windows partition w/o any probs.
[04:16] <Bacon|ubuntu> does nothing either
[04:16] <greyfrog> !dualboot | StreetSpirit

[04:16] <StreetSpirit> IndyGunFreak: thanks
[04:16] <StreetSpirit> thanks greyfrog
[04:16] <StreetSpirit> perfect
[04:17] <idefixx> Jordan_U: wow i just googled ie4linux... now im sad :(
[04:17] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: is it finished installing yet?
[04:17] <StreetSpirit> lets give it a try.. one other minor question- i have a mess of drives connected.. will it recognize usb and firewire drives/have drivers for em?
[04:17] <cotyrothery> how can i make wow look better on my computer
[04:17] <StreetSpirit> all are formatted to ntfs, i'll be able to read them, correct
[04:17] <StreetSpirit> ?
[04:17] <cotyrothery> it looks like crap
[04:17] <Bacon|ubuntu> wow?
[04:17] <Jordan_U> idefixx, Why are you sad?
[04:17] <pike_> StreetSpirit: thats usually the easy part.
[04:17] <Bob_le_Pointu> Use Windows.
[04:18] <greyfrog> StreetSpirit, at the least you should be able to read them
[04:18] <cotyrothery> world of warcraft
[04:18] <IndyGunFreak> wow?... world of warcraft
[04:18] <StreetSpirit> gotcha, thank you pike_
[04:18] <StreetSpirit> good
[04:18] <novato_br> dudes, do you know what I can't understand ???
[04:18] <gnychis> should you install stuff through apt-get or aptitude? or doesn't it matter?
[04:18] <cotyrothery> yeah should i get more ram
[04:18] <Bacon|ubuntu> Get wine...
[04:18] <idefixx> Jordan_U: hehe ;), didnt know there was somthing like that.
[04:18] <IndyGunFreak> novato_br: ?
[04:18] <PurpZeY> cotyrothery: How are you running it?
[04:18] <NigelS> StreetSpirit: you can read and also write with ntfs-3g (apt-get instal ntfs-config to get ntfs-3g and a useful GUI config tool)
[04:18] <cotyrothery> i was
[04:18] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: wine is very hit miss... moostly miss
[04:18] <pike_> gnychis: only hippies use aptitude :)
[04:18] <cotyrothery> but i looks horrible
[04:18] <StreetSpirit> 512KB of ram is enough for ubuntu, correct? p4 2.8/512KB or should i use a better pc?
[04:18] <cotyrothery> it
[04:18] <wastrel> gnychis:  personal preference
[04:18] <Bacon|ubuntu> Any other alternative?
[04:18] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak?
[04:18] <IndyGunFreak> pike_: "do you have a tye died t-shirt i can use.
[04:18] <cotyrothery> i have 254 mb of ram
[04:18] <cotyrothery> could that be it
[04:18] <StreetSpirit> NigelS- will note that, thanks
[04:19] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: did the install work?
[04:19] <pike_> StreetSpirit: my box is 512 sempron 1.6 ghz
[04:19] <NigelS> StreetSpirit: that's fine yeah, though as with all things the more RAM, generally the better the experience
[04:19] <novato_br> if the linux is developing by a lot people around of world, it should be very optimized, but it's not
[04:19] <StreetSpirit> ah cool
[04:19] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: still installing 40%
[04:19] <novato_br> why?
[04:19] <Toma-> StreetSpirit: i hope you mean 512MB...
[04:19] <StreetSpirit> hehe
[04:19] <IndyGunFreak> oh, thought you said it was at 96%.
[04:19] <pike_> IndyGunFreak: make your own
[04:19] <MacDrunk> jordan u
[04:19] <StreetSpirit> yeah that too :)
[04:19] <penos> whats mean ubuntu
[04:19] <Bacon|ubuntu> I'm installing it on a 4200rpm 30gb hitachi hdd
[04:19] <penos> ???
[04:19] <IndyGunFreak> pike_: lol..
[04:19] <greyfrog> novato_br, actually it is...
[04:19] <MacDrunk> did you did that to make it work?
[04:19] <StreetSpirit> actually i miss my 4KB timex sinclair, but thats another topic :)
[04:19] <greyfrog> novato_br, just not on your box ;)
[04:19] <Rkod> Hello, I just tried to install ubuntu with Wubi
[04:19] <Toma-> StreetSpirit: sure :) for better performance tho, id say use XFCE. but really, 512 is enough to run gnome
[04:19] <StreetSpirit> cool
[04:19] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: oh ok... i've got LInux on a 250gig 7200rpm WD
[04:19] <Rkod> And it gets stuck at the startup screen, and I cant read any  error messages because they blaze by really fast
[04:20] <sin18> i installed the vlc and mozilla-plugin-vlc (using adept); do i need to do other steps for firefox to be using vlc as default player ?
[04:20] <Jordan_U> gnychis, They both use dpkg so the only main differences are that aptitude has a curses interface and automatically removes dependencies, but as of Edgy you can use apt-get autoremove to do the same thing
[04:20] <Toma-> *checks how much ram he has*
[04:20] <novato_br> i'm go out from windows, because i belive the windows is not very optimized for my PC
[04:20] <StreetSpirit> i prefer gnome, more comfortable in it than kde..
[04:20] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: came with a sweet leather case tho
[04:20] <Toma-> StreetSpirit: i have 512mb of ram here actually. using gnome and running all sorts of stuff
[04:20] <Rkod> Anyone have any idea about what could be happening? the instalation went fine in all aspects, and now there's this problem
[04:20] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: cool.
[04:20] <Bacon|ubuntu> Rkod, whats wrong?
[04:20] <StreetSpirit> great, thats usually what i end up doing, and i've just about had it witn windows
[04:21] <fuzzyhair> novato_br: sorry for the long time reply, probably a couple of months
[04:21] <Rkod> Not sure yet really
[04:21] <StreetSpirit> with*
[04:21] <Toma-> uptime: 3days and 11 hours and no slow downs! wewhew!
[04:21] <runixd> Does anybody know why would the "Notification" icons randomly come off the gnome panel ?
[04:21] <Rkod> It doesn't start up well
[04:21] <Bacon|ubuntu> Rkod: any errors?
[04:21] <IndyGunFreak> StreetSpirit: first, a a root canal is more comfortable than KDE
[04:21] <MacDrunk> jordan u do i add the lines at the botton of the file
[04:21] <Rkod> It gets stuck at the startup screen at the third bar
[04:21] <MacDrunk> ???
[04:21] <StreetSpirit> everyday a new problem, needs constant reboots..
[04:21] <yurimxpxman> sorry if this seems a little off-topic, but does anybody know where I could find UNIX System V for download?
[04:21] <IndyGunFreak> 2nd, Gnome and Xfce are extremely similar.
[04:21] <StreetSpirit> hehehee true that IndyGunFreak
[04:21] <Bacon|ubuntu> Rkod: It doesn't start up well? Is it sick?
[04:21] <Rkod> and as far as errors, it keeps going really fast, can't read it
[04:21] <Toma-> up to my 18,000th process aswell
[04:21] <Rkod> I let it stand for 34 minutos with nothing happening
[04:21] <Rkod> minutes*
[04:21] <gnychis> Jordan_U: so could I install with apt-get and uninstall with aptitude to get rid of dependencies also?  (aside from the apt-get autoremove feature)
[04:21] <Bacon|ubuntu> Rkod: at what point does this happen?
[04:21] <StreetSpirit> im trying to run an astronomical ftp server, and even though it's running well, the bandwidth utilization utterly sucks.. can't touch the swin in windows ... :(
[04:22] <IndyGunFreak> i tried kDE again the other day, and it lasted all of about 35min before my retinas were burning and i was back in Gnome.
[04:22] <Felarin> lol
[04:22] <runixd> Does anybody know why would the "Notification" icons randomly come off the gnome panel ?
[04:22] <Felarin> GRRRRRRRRRRRR i say GRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!
[04:22] <StreetSpirit> time to get to work
[04:22] <Rkod> third bar in the startup, after I choose the ubuntu boot option, it says "boot..." and then takes me to a balck screen with 3 people holding hands, and the words "Ubuntu" and a loading bar
[04:22] <IndyGunFreak> Rkod: what ar eyou doing, installing ubuntu?
[04:22] <Toma-> Rooar!
[04:22] <Bacon|ubuntu> runixd: Interval for 15 minutes
[04:22] <Rkod> I installed it with wibu, i'm trying to start it up
[04:22] <IndyGunFreak> wibu?
[04:22] <IndyGunFreak> !wibu
[04:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about wibu - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:22] <runixd> Bacon|ubuntu, intervals ?
[04:22] <Rkod> Wubi
[04:22] <Jordan_U> gnychis, No, I think that both programs are only able to auto remove dependencies of packages that they themselves installed, so I would stick to using one or the other
[04:23] <IndyGunFreak> !wubi
[04:23] <ubotu> wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[04:23] <Bacon|ubuntu> runixd: sorry wrong answer =/
[04:23] <IndyGunFreak> hmm, *unofficial*?
[04:23] <Toma-> !wubi
[04:23] <Bacon|ubuntu> Rkod: by guess is a bad distro
[04:23] <Jordan_U> IndyGunFreak, See also: Beta
[04:23] <Rkod> It's very popular, and this isn't my fist time installing linux
[04:23] <gnychis> Jordan_U: cool thanks, any suggestion on either? personal fav?
[04:23] <IndyGunFreak> Jordan_U: i gathered.. :)
[04:23] <Rkod> Just first time with ubuntu
[04:23] <StreetSpirit> !wubi
[04:23] <ubotu> wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[04:23] <Rkod> And when i try to download Kubuntu.. it goes at 2 kb/s
[04:23] <Jordan_U> gnychis, I like apt-get myself :)
[04:23] <Bacon|ubuntu> Rkod: I would say reinstall with a different LiveCD
[04:23] <StreetSpirit> cool
[04:24] <IndyGunFreak> Rkod: 2kb?... ar eyou on dial up?
[04:24] <Wolf6969> Hey... I'm having some trouble installing ubuntu on my laptop... when I choose "start or install ubuntu" ot loads some stuff, and then says that it was unable to start the x server.. but I haven't even installed it yet... anyone knows what's wrong?
[04:24] <gnychis> Jordan_U: :D thats what i've been using, so i'll just stick with it
[04:24] <StreetSpirit> do you guys think i should use wubi or just go with a regular install ?
[04:24] <lxgg> Hi
[04:24] <Rkod> I'm not using a liveCD, i'm using wubi, because I wanted to try the whole "Forget about repartitioning" ideal
[04:24] <Rkod> it automatically gets the ISO from ubuntu
[04:24] <PurpZeY> StreetSpirit: If you just want to test out Ubuntu, why not run a live CD?
[04:24] <Jordan_U> Wolf6969, What kind of GFX card do you have?
[04:24] <IndyGunFreak> Rkod: well, sometimes new isn't always better, and easiest isn't always so.
[04:24] <Bacon|ubuntu> Rkod: I'm not informed on wubi
[04:24] <StreetSpirit> ive done that, it's a lot of fun :)
[04:24] <yurimxpxman> does anybody know where I could find UNIX System V for download?
[04:24] <StreetSpirit> ready to move on to the next step :/
[04:24] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: Philosophy wont help the man
[04:24] <Bacon|ubuntu> lol
[04:24] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[04:24] <Rkod> this PC has 730 GB of stuff  I can't back up, so i can't lose that
[04:25] <Wolf6969> ATI radeon
[04:25] <StreetSpirit> this pc has 1.5tb
[04:25] <MacDrunk> jordan u
[04:25] <Rkod> Congrats
[04:25] <Bacon|ubuntu> I'm sorry IndyGunFreak that was too funny
[04:25] <StreetSpirit> nothing but the os partition is backed up :)
[04:25] <IndyGunFreak> 1.5tb?
[04:25] <greyfrog> Wolf6969, it sounds like there is hardware on your laptop that ubuntu can't handle... try including your laptop specs in your questions and ask again
[04:25] <StreetSpirit> yeppers
[04:25] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: iknow, it was..
[04:25] <Jordan_U> MacDrunk, Yes?
[04:25] <StreetSpirit> just bought two seagate 7200.10's recently
[04:25] <StreetSpirit> each 500gigs sata 3.0
[04:25] <MacDrunk> what if i have festy verion os ubunto and not edgy like it says in the file
[04:25] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: no need to be sorry, i'm pretty laid back, in case you've not figured that out.
[04:25] <PurpZeY> StreetSpirit: You can run the liveCD without installing or anything else...it will just give you a little demo, if that's what you are looking for.
[04:25] <StreetSpirit> i know
[04:26] <greyfrog> Wolf6969, the hardware may just need special treatment ;)
[04:26] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: your laid backness has kept me sane the last, oh, 4 hours.
[04:26] <StreetSpirit> ive ran it , i actually want to do an install and get off windows or at least try to
[04:26] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: lol
[04:26] <StreetSpirit> but thanks PurpZeY
[04:26] <StreetSpirit> i thinks ill try that wubi thingie
[04:26] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: well hopefully it works this time.
[04:26] <StreetSpirit> :)
[04:26] <Wolf6969> greyfrog: in english for stupid people? :)
[04:26] <Rkod> Is there another way to install ubuntu/kubuntu without compromising data?
[04:26] <IndyGunFreak> but how many times did i say, "alternate install CD?"?
[04:26] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[04:26] <Rkod> Prefferably kubuntu
[04:26] <lxgg> I got a problem with reading and writing a file, i think. I edited a script with sudo and saved it in /etc/init.de --> now i want to change the permission so that i can execute the file. How do I do that ? is it "chmod +rx resolution.sh" ?
[04:26] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: you owe me 1 memorex music CD-R
[04:26] <Bacon|ubuntu> if otherwise
[04:26] <IndyGunFreak> lol, ok
[04:26] <scales11> hello does anyone know how to uninstall the madwifi drivers so i can use ndiswrapper
[04:27] <StreetSpirit> better pay up, he's serious too!
[04:27] <greyfrog> Wolf6969, hehe ;) what brand of laptop?  what kind of GFX card? you said ATI but what kind of ATI?
[04:27] <Clinton__> !webcam
[04:27] <ubotu> Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[04:27] <crdlb> scales11, yikes, why?
[04:27] <Jordan_U> Rkod, Installing to another drive?
[04:27] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: Now I know why windows is such an ideal OS
[04:27] <StreetSpirit> ideal?
[04:27] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: i don't knwo if ideal is the word i'd use.
[04:27] <StreetSpirit> ugh..
[04:27] <Rkod> No, same drive
[04:27] <Wolf6969> gimme a minute :)
[04:28] <greyfrog> Wolf6969, all good
[04:28] <Rkod> I was using wubi because it creates a virtual partition, and I saw no harm in that
[04:28] <lxgg> anyone got an idea ?
[04:28] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: when I think about the work I have to do to get linux to work, it makes windows look like a dream boat
[04:28] <Rkod> any other ways to do the same thing?
[04:28] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: i don't go to the bathroom and say, "I think i'm gonna take an ideal".. which is what i think of MS
[04:28] <StreetSpirit> swiss cheese would be more appropriate
[04:28] <Clinton__> anyone here have any luck with the Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000?  I've followed the instructions given in the forums and yet I still don't have a recognized device.
[04:28] <StreetSpirit> i doubt i'll have more dataloss than i would trying to install vista :)
[04:28] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: the problem with Linux, is hardware manufacturers don't support it... drivers are written by people way smarter than us on a volunteer basis
[04:29] <Wolf6969> Laptop: Dell Inspiron|6400; GFX: ATI Mobility Radeon X1400
[04:29] <scales11> crdlb: because i am having trouble connecting to hidden networks and my signal isnt read as a percent
[04:29] <KingNothing> Hi all... is it possible to get pidgin 2.0.1 to work with feisty fawn?
[04:29] <Jordan_U> Wolf6969, Chances are that since ATI hates Linux you will need to install their proprietary drivers from the command line to get X to work, you can do this from the LiveCD or install with the alternate CD and do it after the system is installed
[04:29] <IndyGunFreak> Windows, everyone supports it and its done for you, so everything is easy, whereas with Linux, you're pretty much doing everything....
[04:29] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak, well its a crime, but thats how the world spins
[04:29] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: very true.
[04:29] <crdlb> scales11, you really think ndiswrapper will work better than madwifi?
[04:29] <pike_> its amazing how far we've come last few years though. i can expect that hardware will *probably* work to some degree now
[04:29] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: omg 86%
[04:29] <Bacon|ubuntu> omg 90%
[04:29] <Bacon|ubuntu> here we go
[04:30] <Jordan_U> IndyGunFreak, Unless you buy supported hardware :)
[04:30] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[04:30] <pike_> hey, that should be our new logo
[04:30] <StreetSpirit> heh
[04:30] <Bacon|ubuntu> it stopped at 96%
[04:30] <penos> whats mean uubunta
[04:30] <penos> ???
[04:30] <Bacon|ubuntu> I'm scared....
[04:30] <Pici> !ubuntu | penos
[04:30] <Rkod> It's on the ubuntu website
[04:30] <ubotu> penos: Ubuntu is a complete Linux-based operating system, freely available with both community and professional support. It is developed by a large community and we invite you to participate too! - Also see http://www.ubuntu.com
[04:30] <Rkod> What it means
[04:30] <IndyGunFreak> Jordan_U: true... i do a lot of research before buying somethign new...
[04:30] <crdlb> scales11, however you can disable madwifi in your /etc/default/linux-restricted-modules-common
[04:30] <MacDrunk> jordan u did you event see the link page you give me??
[04:30] <Bacon|ubuntu> the last 4 installs stopped at 96% with the grub error
[04:30] <penos> o_O
[04:30] <Bacon|ubuntu> it went past 96!
[04:30] <Bacon|ubuntu> WOO!
[04:30] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: lol, give it a second..lol
[04:30] <penos> !penis | ubotu
[04:30] <greyfrog> Wolf6969, sorry wolf... not sure whats going on...
[04:30] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about penis - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:30] <StreetSpirit> !wubi
[04:30] <ubotu> wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[04:30] <Jordan_U> IndyGunFreak, That's Why the new Delbuntu's are so great :)
[04:30] <scales11> crdlb: i am not sure but i would like to try.
[04:30] <pike_> lol
[04:30] <IndyGunFreak> Jordan_U: now i definitely agree with that.
[04:31] <Bacon|ubuntu> Jordan_U: Delbuntu?
[04:31] <greyfrog> Wolf6969, try asking again with your these specs in your questions... someone's bound to know what to do ;)
[04:31] <scales11> crdlb: ok how do i disable it?
[04:31] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: dell is selling pc's pre--configured with Ubuntu.
[04:31] <crdlb> scales11, have you seen any success from other people?
[04:31] <Jordan_U> Bacon|ubuntu, Dell sells three models with Ubuntu pre-installed
[04:31] <scales11> crdlb: ha, just one
[04:31] <IndyGunFreak> Jordan_U: isn't one of htem a laptop?
[04:31] <pike_> now if dell can certify the webcams and other periphs they sell eventually too
[04:31] <Bacon|ubuntu> omg
[04:31] <Bacon|ubuntu> its installing grub
[04:31] <IndyGunFreak> lmao,
[04:31] <crdlb> scales11, it's pretty simple, just set DISABLED_MODULES="madwifi"
[04:31] <crdlb> I think that's it
[04:31] <Bacon|ubuntu> IT INSTALLED
[04:31] <IndyGunFreak> zing.. indygunfreak is right again
[04:31] <Bacon|ubuntu> ITS COMPLETE
[04:31] <Bacon|ubuntu> ITS DONE!
[04:31] <Bacon|ubuntu> OPMG
[04:32] <PurpZeY> !CAPs
[04:32] <ubotu> PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: next time, you will listen to me before 3hrs..lol
[04:32] <Bacon|ubuntu> lets see if ti works
[04:32] <Bacon|ubuntu> eh?
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> PurpZeY: he's excited, cut him some slack.
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[04:32] <Bacon|ubuntu> omg
[04:32] <crdlb> scales11, err I take that back
[04:32] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: just make sure you set your bios to boot that usb port.
[04:32] <Bacon|ubuntu> it works
[04:32] <silvertip257> I'm having somewhat of a dependency problem;;; chroot . /bin/sh -i         /bin/sh: /lib/tls/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.4' not found (required by /bin/sh)
[04:32] <Bacon|ubuntu> I know it indy
[04:32] <Jordan_U> IndyGunFreak, Yes
[04:32] <scales11> crdlb: ok, i will give it a shot.  my second question is gonna be how to i install the drivers with ndiswrapper
[04:32] <crdlb> scales11, no idea
[04:32] <PurpZeY> IndyGunFreak: Sorry...;P
[04:33] <novato_br> hi
[04:33] <Skitch2011> Hi, could somebody please help me with my getting gtkpod talking to m Ipod?  I have read a bunch of the threads on how to do this, but the instructions don't seem to apply to the devide that my Ipod shows up as.
[04:33] <crdlb> scales11, you should add ath_hal to DISABLED_MODULES
[04:33] <silvertip257> lol IndyGunFreak & Bacon|ubuntu ;-) usb distro install ?
[04:33] <crdlb> and blacklist ath_pci
[04:33] <Bacon|ubuntu> indy
[04:33] <Bacon|ubuntu> you have paypal
[04:33] <IndyGunFreak> silvertip257: yeah.. he wouldn't listen to me
[04:33] <crdlb> !blacklist > scales11
[04:33] <Bacon|ubuntu> I pay you 10$
[04:33] <Bacon|ubuntu> :D
[04:33] <silvertip257> Indy :: hahaha
[04:33] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: its no big deal
[04:33] <danglybits> what is a good program to capture images from a webcamera and then be able to post that image to a website?
[04:33] <pike_> $10 for 4 hours? is that legal?
[04:33] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: now I need help getting my integrated wireless card to work
[04:34] <IndyGunFreak> pike_: lol..
[04:34] <Bacon|ubuntu> pike_: lol
[04:34] <silvertip257> Indy :: only time it is a good idea is when it's a mini distro, otherwise I think it eats up 2 much space & all -- plus life of the mem cells
[04:34] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: i'll have to turn you over to someone else for wireless, i sit at a desk.
[04:34] <crdlb> Bacon|ubuntu, broadcom?
[04:34] <Bacon|ubuntu> broadcom
[04:34] <IndyGunFreak> !wireless
[04:34] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:34] <crdlb> *sigh*
[04:34] <Bacon|ubuntu> I'm guessing ndiswrapper?
[04:34] <crdlb> Bacon|ubuntu, sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[04:34] <crdlb> no
[04:34] <silvertip257> oh boy ... ughhhh broadcom *cries* :'(
[04:34] <IndyGunFreak> no, i think broadcomm works w/o a whole lot of hassle.
[04:34] <Bacon|ubuntu> well uh
[04:34] <crdlb> there's a native firmware
[04:34] <lxgg> I got a problem with reading and writing a file, i think. I edited a script with sudo and saved it in /etc/init.de --> now i want to change the permission so that i can execute the file. How do I do that ? is it "chmod +rx resolution.sh" ?
[04:34] <lxgg> anyone got an idea ?
[04:35] <crdlb> IndyGunFreak, I wouldn't go that far :P
[04:35] <Bacon|ubuntu> let me hook up my PC through a ethernet
[04:35] <Jordan_U> Bacon|ubuntu, Whatever you do, *don't* use NDIS wrapper :)
[04:35] <IndyGunFreak> crdlb: lol
[04:35] <Skitch2011> I think you just need the +x rather than +rx.
[04:35] <greyfrog> lxgg, that will work
[04:35] <crdlb> scales11, ^^ see
[04:35] <Bacon|ubuntu> crdlb: it sees my wireless as eth1
[04:35] <Bacon|ubuntu> waaah?
[04:35] <silvertip257> lxgg :: chmod +x  your_file_path_here
[04:35] <reizend> danglybits - I think you want camerama
[04:35] <lxgg> okey ill try
[04:35] <crdlb> Bacon|ubuntu, basically the driver is incuded with ubuntu
[04:35] <crdlb> but not the firmware
[04:35] <crdlb> that command I gave you will install it
[04:35] <lxgg> greyfrog: Operation permitted
[04:36] <lxgg> not
[04:36] <greyfrog> lxgg you use sudo? ;)
[04:36] <reizend> sorry danglybits i meant camorama
[04:36] <Skitch2011> Could anybody help me with my Ipod?
[04:36] <IndyGunFreak> Jordan_U: why not use ndiswrapper?
[04:36] <greyfrog> lxgg, use sudo chmod +rx resource.sh
[04:36] <Clinton__> anyone here have any luck with the Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000?  I've followed the instructions given in the forums and yet I still don't have a recognized device.
[04:36] <silvertip257> lxgg:  be root or do ' sudo chmod +x your_file_here
[04:36] <lxgg> okey ill try
[04:37] <Bacon|ubuntu> ok
[04:37] <pike_> Clinton__: best bet is to use vlc to test it id think. lsusb doesnt show it?
[04:37] <Bacon|ubuntu> crdlb: whats the command again?
[04:37] <Clinton__> pike_ yup, lsusb shows it, but dmesg indicates it is an un-named device
[04:37] <crdlb> Bacon|ubuntu, sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[04:38] <pike_> Clinton__: driver is loaded?
[04:38] <cows> how do you remove the splash screen and the default orange color background in feisty? since when i go to System -> Preferences -> Sessions there isnt a option in there to remove the splash !
[04:38] <Clinton__> pike_ yup
[04:38] <pike_> Clinton__: sry for basic questions.. you never know
[04:38] <Jordan_U> IndyGunFreak, Because Broadcom cards have native drivers and NDIS wrapper is a dirty hack
[04:38] <greyfrog> cows look at usplash
[04:38] <Clinton__> pike_ no problem
[04:38] <IndyGunFreak> Jordan_U: well i certainly don't want to encourage the use of dirty hacks.. ;)
[04:38] <greyfrog> !usplash | cows
[04:38] <ubotu> cows: To select the usplash artwork you want, use "sudo update-alternatives --config usplash-artwork.so && sudo update-initramfs -u" - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/USplashCustomizationHowto for adding your custom artwork
[04:38] <cows> greyfrog, thanks
[04:38] <Tarkus> anyone here use banshee music player? im trying to figure out why it gives me this error when i try to import these files: http://img482.imageshack.us/img482/3603/screenshotld0.png
[04:39] <greyfrog> cows, to change the desktop background just right click the desktop... no problem ;)
[04:39] <cows> greyfrog, isnt that for boot screen?
[04:39] <Clinton__> pike_ any other ideas?
[04:39] <Bacon|ubuntu> crdlb should I fetch and extract firmware?
[04:39] <greyfrog> cows, sorry must have misunderstood you...
[04:39] <crdlb> Bacon|ubuntu, yeah
[04:39] <MacDrunk> were can i get the  APT Repository file?
[04:39] <Clinton__> pike_ meanwhile I'm getting vlc (so far it hasn't work with camorama or kopete)
[04:39] <greyfrog> cows, you mean when logging in?
[04:39] <Bacon|ubuntu> crdlb you need to walk me through this
[04:39] <jadder_> hello everybody, how to use grep with cp, to find file and copy to new folder?
[04:40] <cows> greyfrog, well i know how to change the bg. i matched the gdm theme with the desktop wallpaper but the problem is that when its going to load it turns orange like default color and then ubuntu splash comes out
[04:40] <IndyGunFreak> argument out of range?
[04:40] <Skitch2011> Does any ipod usually show up as /dev/sd* or something like /dev/hd*?
[04:40] <IndyGunFreak> never saw that one
[04:40] <penos> !ubunta | ubotu
[04:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubunta - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:40] <Bacon|ubuntu> crdlb: now what?
[04:40] <bruenig> jadder_, explain what you are trying to do, are you trying to move all files that have a certain grep match to a folder or what
[04:40] <penos> !kubunta | ubotu
[04:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kubunta - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:40] <IndyGunFreak> Skitch2011: mine shows up as /media/IPOD
[04:40] <crdlb> Bacon|ubuntu, it's done?
[04:40] <Bacon|ubuntu> crdlb yes
[04:40] <jadder_> yes
[04:40] <crdlb> Bacon|ubuntu, now reboot
[04:40] <shooba_wooba> Hi!
[04:40] <greyfrog> cows, are you talking about the login screen?
[04:41] <IndyGunFreak> reboot?... what is this strange process you speak of.
[04:41] <cows> greyfrog, well i already changed the login screen
[04:41] <silvertip257> hey there
[04:41] <shooba_wooba> I have a sata hd, and i`m having trouble to mount ir
[04:41] <shooba_wooba> it*
[04:41] <jadder_> well I have to find html file, then copy a new folder in the same line of code
[04:41] <shooba_wooba> as i remember, is sda or sda1
[04:41] <cows> greyfrog, im trying to remove the ugly orange bg and splash in between the boot change from login screen to desktop
[04:41] <Skitch2011> Indy, unfortunately mine does not show up there.  I created the mount point there for it and it is connected, but no dice.
[04:41] <jadder_> those html file are in a folder
[04:41] <shooba_wooba> then
[04:41] <silvertip257> shooba_wooba:  how many partitions?
[04:41] <shooba_wooba> just 1
[04:42] <silvertip257> ok then it's just /dev/sda1 (if it's on SATA1)
[04:42] <bruenig> jadder_, the more specific the better, right now I really don't know what you are talking about
[04:42] <IndyGunFreak> Skitch2011: does the ipod icon come up on your desktop?
[04:42] <shooba_wooba> im on the live cd
[04:42] <silvertip257> ok
[04:42] <greyfrog> cows, bot sure how to change that... ask again with out my name and maybe someone else will pick up...
[04:42] <silvertip257> shooba_wooba:  what do you need then?
[04:42] <greyfrog> cows, bot -> not

[04:43] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: lmao..lol
[04:43] <silvertip257> shooba_wooba:  try mkdir /mnt/sda1
[04:43] <Skitch2011> Indy, No, It did this morning.  When I disconnected it and then reconnected it it does not show up.  I edited /etc/fstab to have it auto mount, however, this last time I tried plugging it in it said that it couldn't mount it.
[04:43] <Bacon|ubuntu> indy
[04:43] <Bacon|ubuntu> never in my life
[04:43] <bruenig> Bacon|ubuntu, now just do ifconfig interface down
[04:43] <greyfrog> cows, I don't know how to change that.  ask you question again, hopefully someone else knows the answer
[04:43] <Bacon|ubuntu> did i think!
[04:43] <Clinton__> pike_ did I lose you?
[04:43] <silvertip257> shooba_wooba:  mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1
[04:43] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: just think, if you'd have listened to me about, oh...2.5hrs ago, you'd be in bed already..lol
[04:43] <cows> greyfrog, what ubuntu r u using?
[04:43] <Bacon|ubuntu> You kidding me?
[04:43] <silvertip257> shooba_wooba:  sudo those commands
[04:43] <bruenig> speed it up that way
[04:43] <reizend> shooba_wooba try using the other slashs
[04:43] <IndyGunFreak> lol

[04:43] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: I have 4 more hours of ubuntu mind sweeper to play
[04:43] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[04:43] <cows> greyfrog, do you atleast know how to remove feisty splash?
[04:44] <scales11> crdlb: ok sorry there is just so many messages i couldnt keep up
[04:44] <crdlb> scales11, I strongly recommend not using ndiswrapper
[04:44] <westoncampbell> Will someone help me please? I'm getting the "Failed to start X server..." message after doing sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:44] <IndyGunFreak> so wireless is that easy with broadcomm xx?
[04:44] <bruenig> I guess jadder_'s bash question wasn't all that important, I am almost certain I could do it with grep and xargs, but whatever
[04:44] <IndyGunFreak> hmm
[04:44] <shooba_wooba> ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo mount /dev/sda /mnt/sda
[04:44] <shooba_wooba> mount: /dev/sda already mounted or /mnt/sda busy
[04:44] <cows> greyfrog, im pretty sure i can change the orange bg to something else.. its in the login screen option
[04:44] <greyfrog> cows, I'm not sure which splash screen you're talking about.  THe only one I know how to change is the usplash
[04:44] <crdlb> IndyGunFreak, hopefully he doesn't need wpa... :)
[04:44] <IndyGunFreak> crdlb: lol
[04:44] <IndyGunFreak> crdlb: does that just enable wep?
[04:44] <cows> greyfrog, is that the 1 where ubuntu shows nautilus loading up?
[04:45] <silvertip257> IndyGunFreak:  I missed it, plz explain why "wifi is so easy w/ broadcom"
[04:45] <Clinton__> pike_ yup, lsusb shows it, but dmesg indicates it is an un-named device
[04:45] <Clinton__> oops
[04:45] <Clinton__> anyone here have any luck with the Logitech Quickcam Pro 5000?  I've followed the instructions given in the forums and yet I still don't have a recognized device.
[04:45] <IndyGunFreak> silvertip257: i dont' know, crdlb just talked Bacon|ubuntu through it in about 3min..lol
[04:45] <crdlb> IndyGunFreak, I've just heard that the bcm43xx driver doesn't work well with WPA
[04:45] <greyfrog> cows, nope... it's the initial "Ubuntu" screen used at bootup
[04:45] <silvertip257> wow
[04:45] <IndyGunFreak> crdlb: oh i see.
[04:45] <crdlb> IndyGunFreak, atheros and intel work in 0 minutes :D
[04:45] <IndyGunFreak> crdlb: whats that called, wpa-supplicant, or something?
[04:45] <crdlb> yeah something like that
[04:46] <cows> greyfrog, oh i know about usplash to change that but i dont like using splash screens.. im talking about the splash screen that is displayed right after you login
[04:46] <silvertip257> crdlb:  could you give me write up on getting broadcom wifi and wired nics to work ??? please & thanks =)
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> crdlb: so atheros ad intel wireless chipsets work "out of the box?"
[04:48] <greyfrog> cows, don't know about that...
[04:48] <crdlb> IndyGunFreak, yes and a few others
[04:48] <amusso18> assholes
[04:48] <crdlb> ralink, orinco
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> hmm, didn't know that
[04:48] <cows> greyfrog, ok
[04:48] <amusso18> I hate you
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> !ohmy
[04:48] <ubotu> Please watch your language and keep this channel family friendly.
[04:48] <Bacon|ubuntu> crdlb: my bit rate is only 11mb/s, it should be 54mb
[04:48] <amusso18> no wai
[04:48] <amusso18> hehehe  kidding
[04:48] <dga> Bacon|ubuntu: are you using native drivers?
[04:48] <amusso18> what is this thing anyways?
[04:48] <crdlb> silvertip257, no idea about wired nics
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> what thing?
[04:48] <amusso18> xchat
[04:48] <crdlb> silvertip257, but for wireless
[04:48] <amusso18> what is it for
[04:48] <Bacon|ubuntu> dga: no clue
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> amusso18: xchat is an irc client
[04:48] <tarelerulz> I have not been able to get into this  room for over a week. Is there any thing up with the ubuntu irc severs?
[04:48] <scales11> crdlb: humm, well is there any other option i have? i cannot connect to hidden networks, and the wireless doesnt seem to work all the time, sometimes it just connects
[04:48] <crdlb> silvertip257, sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[04:48] <scales11> sorry disconnects
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> tarelerulz: were you banned for some reason?
[04:48] <Diggity> any suggestions on the best torrenting program?
[04:48] <crdlb> scales11, why do you turn off ssid broadcast?
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> Diggity: Ktorrent
[04:48] <unlink> my bootup stops early on: the last message i see is [   26.955482]  ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... file /DSDT.aml not found, using machine DSDT.

[04:48] <unlink> this is a brand new install.
[04:48] <greyfrog> amusso18, Alex Musso from Dallas Texas
[04:48] <crdlb> scales11, that provides absolutely no security and breaks the wifi protocol
[04:48] <penos> UUUUUBUNTAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[04:48] <alexnb185> hey guys i have a question about using gcc to compile
[04:48] <IndyGunFreak> i think the wierdos are waking up.
[04:48] <scales11> crdlb: well, i just did
[04:49] <tarelerulz> IndyGunFreak , I don't think I was banded . I just could not get in . I had not said anything prophane or rude or I did not talk about windows haha.
[04:49] <IndyGunFreak> tarelerulz: i don'tknow.. thats the only reason i could think for not getting here, cuz i've had no problem
[04:49] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: Now here's the trick, having my windows HDD in with my linux
[04:49] <Skitch2011> I think my IPod is located at /dev/sdd.  I tried sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdd /media/ipod, but it says wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdd.  THis is a Windows IPod though, so if it is not vfat then what could it be?
[04:49] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: no trick at all.
[04:49] <IndyGunFreak> you've got grub on your USB drive.
[04:49] <alexnb185> I am brand new to usiing gcc and i have read up on it and i made the simple hello world app out of C and told gcc to compile it by typing "gcc hello_world.c" and it said there was no file or directorybut there is on my desktop .. cna someone help
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: if you want to boot windows, you set your bios to boot your hard drive
[04:51] <unlink> alexnb185: type cd Desktop first
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> if you want to boot linux, boot your USB drive
[04:51] <gnychis> whats the proper way to install ndiswrapper? does ndiswrapper-common include the binaries?
[04:51] <Skitch2011> alex are you sure you are in the right directory?
[04:51] <alexnb185> so what would the command be?
[04:51] <assis_> hey
[04:51] <greyfrog> alexnb185, did you try gcc hello_world.c -o hello_world?
[04:51] <unlink> alexnb185: cd Desktop
[04:51] <alexnb185> no i did not
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: now if you want to add a grub entry to your USB drive, so you can boot to Windows from your USB grub, you can do that.
[04:51] <spasticteapot> How do I pick which soundcard my PC uses?
[04:51] <alexnb185> yes unlink i would tpye gcc cd desktop?
[04:51] <unlink> alexnb185: that won't help. the error says gcc can't find the input file because it's in a different directory
[04:51] <IndyGunFreak> is tha twhat you meant?
[04:51] <unlink> alexnb185: you're starting off in your home directory, which is different from your desktop
[04:51] <alexnb185> ok
[04:51] <unlink> alexnb185: first issue the command "cd Desktop". mind the capital D
[04:51] <cows> does anyone know how to remove the gdm splash screen? its the one right after you log on !
[04:51] <tarelerulz> gychis , I use ndiswrapper all the time. It is the only way I have gotten my wireless card to work at all.
[04:51] <alexnb185> ok so what exactly do i type in
[04:51] <unlink> alexnb185: next, run "gcc hello_world.c". this will produce a file a.out which you can run, if your program compiled and linked correctly
[04:51] <Skitch2011> you type cd desktop
[04:51] <unlink> alexnb185: "cd Desktop", without the quotes, followed by enter
[04:52] <cows> gychis, just get the driver and then run sudo ndiswrapper -i xxxxxx.inf
[04:52] <silvertip257> Bacon|ubuntu:  what was your wifi nic again ... I'm gonna save that command and all, I could use the info
[04:52] <foso> hey all, i just repartitioned and reinstalled and lost my wifi, i forget how i got it to work but it was bcm43 something
[04:52] <unlink> alexnb185: then "gcc hello_world.c", like you had typed before
[04:52] <cows> gychis, then type sudo modprobe ndiswrapper making sure you removed the old driver
[04:52] <Skitch2011> Indy, any other ideas concerning the ipod?
[04:52] <alexnb185> ok i did that
[04:52] <alexnb185> and nothign happened but it appearently found the file
[04:52] <alexnb185> oh a file caslled a.out is on my desktop now
[04:52] <IndyGunFreak> Skitch2011: when you plug it in, does it automount?
[04:52] <silvertip257> foso::  crdlb may know, he seems to know plenty about wifi
[04:53] <IndyGunFreak> do you get the icon on your desktop?
[04:53] <SirBob1701> what would i have to do in feisty to run a cross over cable between my fesity desktop and my thinkpad so my desktop can use my thinkpads wireless connection?
[04:53] <crdlb> foso,  sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter
[04:53] <SirBob1701> thinkpads feisty too btw
[04:53] <silvertip257> is that just for broadcom nics or any special model crdlb ???
[04:53] <Skitch2011> It tries, but fails.  Let me try it again.
[04:53] <cerealkiller219> whats the command to tell what your server version is ? :S
[04:53] <crdlb> silvertip257, all 43xx broadcoms
[04:53] <geeksauce> what the heck drivers does an nvidia gforce card use?  nvidia isn't a listed option
[04:53] <silvertip257> ok
[04:53] <spasticteapot> SirBob1701: Masquerade. Which is a pain in the arse to use.
[04:54] <crdlb> geeksauce, you have to install it
[04:54] <gnychis> whats the proper way to install ndiswrapper? does ndiswrapper-common include the binaries? i can't find a straight answer, it seems to be the kernel has ndiswrapper with it?
[04:54] <IndyGunFreak> !nvidia
[04:54] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:54] <silvertip257> crdlb::  how about broadcom wired nics
[04:54] <alexnb185> unlink how do i open the a.out.. i click it and nothing happens
[04:54] <crdlb> silvertip257, I know nothing about that
[04:54] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: I have a picture for you
[04:54] <Skitch2011> Indy, it seems to have mounted this time for some reason.
[04:54] <IndyGunFreak> Skitch2011: lol.. you remember to plug it in?
[04:54] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[04:54] <silvertip257> crdlb:  I need to go look at the ones we have in our lab comps @ the college =D
[04:54] <cows> gnychis, sudo aptitude install ndiswrapper-utils-1.9 ndiswrapper-common
[04:54] <dga> alexnb185: run it by typing ./a.out at the command line
[04:54] <unlink> alexnb185: type ./a.out
[04:54] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: what of
[04:54] <geeksauce> crdlb i don't want to use nvidia's proprietary drivers... i'm not going anything 3d really
[04:54] <NigelS> alexnb185: it;s of course text only - in a terminal you type a.out - for example gcc hello.c -o hello and then ./hello
[04:54] <crdlb> geeksauce, then use nv
[04:54] <gnychis> cows: thanks
[04:54] <NigelS> alexnb185: it should then print hello world etc
[04:55] <foso> crdlb now what
[04:55] <cows> gnychis, np :)
[04:55] <alexnb185> oh!, hey thanks alot
[04:55] <crdlb> geeksauce, unless you have a really new nvidia card that isn't supported by nv
[04:55] <SirBob1701> spasticteapot: where would i get that i don't see it in the repos
[04:55] <geeksauce> crdlb i tried that but x will not start given the paremeters i set
[04:55] <alexnb185> now back to learing more C
[04:55] <crdlb> foso, reboot
[04:55] <alexnb185> :-) u guys are a great help
[04:55] <spasticteapot> SirBob1701: I'm not sure. I think it might be part of Ubuntu.
[04:55] <NigelS> alexnb185: other useful switches
[04:55] <MacDrunk> jordan_u
[04:55] <NigelS> alexnb185: -g for debugging and -Wall to turn on all warnings
[04:55] <IndyGunFreak> Skitch2011: if you don't like Banshee for ipod stuff(i personally dont), one of the Few KDE apps I like, is Amarok.. it kills banshee in setting up an IPOD
[04:56] <unlink> My fresh install of ubuntu doesn't boot.
[04:56] <IndyGunFreak> unlink: doesn't boot?
[04:56] <alexnb185> like ex would be -g hello_world.c
[04:56] <unlink> the bootup stops early on: the last message i see is [   26.955482]  ACPI: Looking for DSDT in initramfs... file /DSDT.aml not found, using machine DSDT.
[04:56] <spasticteapot> It's a nifty program - it allows for IP masking.
[04:56] <spasticteapot> I did a big networking project using a Linux box with a wireless card as an internet connection for the whole network, but I can't get it to configure worth a dang myself.
[04:56] <unlink> ( @ IndyGunFreak )
[04:56] <Skitch2011> Indy, I have amarok, but it doesn't seem to find my ipod even though it will show it on the desktop.
[04:56] <NigelS> alexnb185: -Wall is esp useful in spotting errors. e.g. gcc -g -Wall -ansi -pedantic hello.c -o hello
[04:56] <redline6561> i've been having some trouble getting a startup script to work on feisty with update-rc.d
[04:56] <IndyGunFreak> unlink: i have no idea what that means
[04:56] <cows> good night all
[04:56] <alexnb185> ok
[04:56] <redline6561> anyone have any advice?
[04:56] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak:
[04:56] <Bacon|ubuntu> http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v353/lundzurheide/noname-2.jpg
[04:56] <geeksauce> is there something that will attempt to autoconfigure xserver-xorg for me?
[04:57] <cows> geeksauce, type sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:57] <foso_> thanks crdlb
[04:57] <Bacon|ubuntu> You see that indy?
[04:57] <silvertip257> shooba_wooba: it must be automounted / mounted to some other partition
[04:57] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: lol..
[04:57] <IndyGunFreak> yes.
[04:57] <geeksauce> cows i did that... x won't start
[04:57] <cows> geeksauce, i guess that's the last thing ill say before going to bed :). good night.
[04:57] <silvertip257> i mean mount point
[04:57] <Bacon|ubuntu> that black mini-box is the usb drive
[04:57] <cows> geeksauce, yea i know
[04:57] <IndyGunFreak> funny, i'd have thought after this long, there'd be a lot of empty beer cans on your desk,.
[04:57] <Bacon|ubuntu> those cds, are all 3 distros
[04:57] <cows> geeksauce, in terminal like your in console?
[04:57] <IndyGunFreak> lmao
[04:58] <Bacon|ubuntu> If I was 21 indy
[04:58] <Bacon|ubuntu> if I was 21
[04:58] <Bacon|ubuntu> I'd be drunk
[04:58] <cows> geeksauce, hmm did it start before?
[04:58] <geeksauce> cows, no i mean x fails to even start when i bott up
[04:58] <geeksauce> boot
[04:58] <Skitch2011> Indy, in the devices tab amarok says there is no device available
[04:58] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: well, at least you know how to do it now.., next time, you'll know not to goff with the live cd for 2hrs, just go straight to the alternate install.
[04:58] <cows> geeksauce, wat kind of installation is it?
[04:58] <IndyGunFreak> iv'e actually never installed to a usb drive, but i figured the alt. install cd was the way to go.
[04:59] <spasticteapot> I have an external soundcard plugged in - a Soundblaster. How do I get Ubuntu to use it? It works fine on PCs with no other soundcard, but I have onboard sound on my laptop and need to get it to use my outboard card.
[04:59] <redline6561> so...anyone have expertise with system services?
[04:59] <geeksauce> cows, yes, but i was using nvidia's driver and hating it.  i recently upgraded to the latest distro
[04:59] <Skitch2011> Indy, I had it execute mount -t vfat /dev/sdc2 /media/ipod, but it doesn't seem to do anything after that.
[04:59] <cows> geeksauce, ok so thats why the x server dont start.. mostly you will see a blue screen right?
[04:59] <k0rnz> hello can someone please help me to resolve why I am getting cut off from internet intermittently?
[04:59] <Skitch2011> Indy, although it does show up in nautilus.
[04:59] <IndyGunFreak> Skitch2011: i don't know, i jus plug mine in, start amarok, and move music to it.
[04:59] <redline6561> k0rnz: when do you get cut off?
[04:59] <k0rnz> I suspect I am being hacked or a victim of Dos attacks
[04:59] <k0rnz> every couple minutes
[05:00] <IndyGunFreak> Skitch2011: i've never had to type mount commands, etc, it does it automatically
[05:00] <IndyGunFreak> !ipod
[05:00] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto See !rockbox for information on liberating your iPod
[05:00] <cows> geeksauce, every time you upgrade your kernel you will need to recompile the nvidia driver
[05:00] <geeksauce> cows, only when i run xserver-xorg reconfiguration.  other than that it's a command line
[05:00] <Skitch2011> Indy, what do you do in order to move the music over?  I just want to know assuming I get the rest of this working.
[05:00] <redline6561> k0rnz: are you using wireless or wired connection?
[05:00] <k0rnz> wired
[05:00] <cows> geeksauce, yea when you run that you will have alot of options just click next but first let me show u something
[05:00] <IndyGunFreak> Skitch2011: i use amarok, i don't use banshee(it never did the transfer thing very well for me)
[05:00] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: I'm coming on through xchat
[05:00] <Bacon|ubuntu> be back in 3 minutes
[05:00] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: lol, ok
[05:00] <cows> geeksauce, since your using a diff kernel type this : sudo aptitude purge nvidia-glx
[05:00] <Skitch2011> Yes, but how do you do the actual transfer?
[05:01] <geeksauce> cows, i can't use mouse
[05:01] <cows> geeksauce, you dont need a mouse
[05:01] <problemswithsony> HEY GUYS. How does one import video from a sony handycam onto a computer under ubuntu?
[05:01] <cows> geeksauce, you only need keyboard since your in console ( black screen, white font )
[05:01] <IndyGunFreak> Skitch2011: i start amarok, move the files i want to transfer to my playlist.., move them from the play list to the left, where all my ipod files are listed, then i hit transfer
[05:01] <redline6561> k0rnz: hate to say i'm not sure without more information. it could be driver related but i'm not an expert.
[05:01] <geeksauce> cows i'll have to write this down... the affected system is upstairs.  i'm ssh'd to a remote unix host right now
[05:01] <IndyGunFreak> also while its in the playlist, i check the tags, etc, and edit them if necessary
[05:02] <k0rnz> everything worked without any problems until just a while ago when I started experiencing problems
[05:02] <cows> geeksauce, ok, well if when you ssh into the system, all you see is console since the x server failed right?
[05:02] <SlimG> Is it possible to link directly to a nick on irc like somewhat like the link to a channel is done, ex.: irc://irc.freenode.org/ubuntu ?
[05:02] <Bacon|ubuntu> ahaha!
[05:02] <Bacon|ubuntu> I'm on!
[05:02] <Bacon|ubuntu> I'm on ubuntu, on wireless, on my laptop with usb drive
[05:02] <geeksauce> cows, no i am ssh'd into a truly remote unix host that i pay for access to
[05:03] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: Now we know what to do if people have problems
[05:03] <Skitch2011> Indy, and transfer is where?  I looked through the entire menu.
[05:03] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: true... oh and not to add salt to the wound
[05:03] <chris__> can someone help me with squid?
[05:03] <cows> geeksauce, hmm you should be where the affected system is..
[05:03] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: What wound?
[05:03] <IndyGunFreak> but i just checked my logs, you checked in at 13:42 EDT, asking for help with a USB install, its now 11:03 EDT
[05:03] <k0rnz> never mind, my ISP just confirmed that it is on their end and not mine
[05:03] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[05:03] <cows> geeksauce, if the affected system is upstairs all you have to do is turn it on and when it fails enter the console
[05:03] <geeksauce> cows it's upstairs in my bedroom
[05:03] <ticky> does anybody think it is a bad idea to have boths gnome and KDE installed in the same O.S ?
[05:04] <Bacon|ubuntu> How long is that indy?
[05:04] <cows> geeksauce, is the computer turned on? the affected 1..
[05:04] <IndyGunFreak> um, about 9hrs..lol
[05:04] <spasticteapot> ticky: Nah.
[05:04] <geeksauce> cows i'm just trying to avoid running up and down steps every 2 minutes
[05:04] <geeksauce> cows yes it is on
[05:04] <redline6561> k0rnz: glad to hear it.
[05:04] <spasticteapot> ticky: Having craploads of libraries can be a problem, but I don't think it should be a problem.
[05:04] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: stfuu, and get out of here
[05:04] <cows> geeksauce, yea i understand i have to do that sometimes since my comp is in my room and my backup comp is in the living room
[05:04] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: dead seroius...
[05:04] <IndyGunFreak> i'm still laughing abou tit.
[05:04] <cows> geeksauce, ok is it in console the affected 1?
[05:05] <andrew____> How well developed is Ubuntu for doing a school network?  I know the thin client bit is quite good, but if I want to put the whole school network on Ubuntu, how would I go about setting up authentication for the
[05:05] <IndyGunFreak> lol, i was trying to see how long it took me to figure this out, and it looks like i told you first to stop using x64..
[05:05] <andrew____> thick clients?
[05:05] <IndyGunFreak> then i told you to use the alternate install cd... which you didn't seem to try for a while, then you finally did, and now here you are.
[05:05] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[05:05] <Bacon|ubuntu> indy, it didn't have to do with the 32bit
[05:05] <geeksauce>  cows similar situation here :)  so what do i need to type at the prompt?
[05:05] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: i know that
[05:05] <ticky> spasticteapot: thanks for your opinion on that
[05:05] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: the thing is though, 32bit is easier to set up than the 64bit, thats why i told you to go with it.
[05:05] <cows> geeksauce, ok at the prompt you first have to delete your old nvidia drivers, so you type sudo aptitude purge nvidia-glx
[05:05] <IndyGunFreak> did you end up using 64 anyways/
[05:05] <IndyGunFreak> ?
[05:06] <cows> geeksauce, im assuming you installed nvidia-glx as ur driver package?
[05:06] <Bacon|ubuntu> No, most likely I have
[05:06] <Bacon|ubuntu> ..wait
[05:06] <Bacon|ubuntu> i386
[05:06] <Bacon|ubuntu> nah, thats x32
[05:06] <IndyGunFreak> yeah..
[05:06] <mintsoup> I have a Radeon 9800 Pro and I want graphics acceleration and such, but when I goto install proprietary drivers in the administration menu, it says I don't need proprietary drivers...... soo... with a 9800 Pro, should I go ahead and try to install the fglrx driver anyways?
[05:06] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: you won't be sorry, for the forseeable future, unless you must have 64bit powr for some reason... 32bit is the way to go, things are easier to get working
[05:07] <cows> mintsoup, yea install the fglrx
[05:07] <mintsoup> thank you
[05:07] <cows> np
[05:07] <IndyGunFreak> so now what do you need to learn how to do?
[05:07] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[05:07] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: Get wine working
[05:07] <cows> mintsoup, just make sure after your install fglrx that you set the xorg.conf driver to fglrx , then log out and press alt + ctl + backspace
[05:07] <IndyGunFreak> geez, you go from one landmine to another.
[05:07] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: So I can play computer games
[05:08] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: just be forewarned, wine isn't near 100% with games, some it works great, some it works ok, most it barely works, if at all.
[05:08] <geeksauce> cows, ok, then what?  (i'll write down several steps at a time)
[05:08] <cows> geeksauce, did you delete the nvidia-glx?
[05:08] <Bacon|ubuntu> Half-life indy?
[05:08] <Bacon|ubuntu> OMG
[05:08] <Bacon|ubuntu> indy
[05:08] <geeksauce> cows i will but what then
[05:09] <Bacon|ubuntu> My battery life has a countdown timer
[05:09] <Bacon|ubuntu> windows never did that
[05:09] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: im not a gamer, but you can try it...   http://www.winehq.org/site/download-deb
[05:09] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: i think its supposed to.
[05:09] <IndyGunFreak> mine does to.
[05:09] <Bacon|ubuntu> I have 50 hours left :)
[05:09] <cows> geeksauce, ok after you remove the drivers , you will just switch the 'nvidia' driver to 'vesa' to see if your x server will work
[05:09] <Bacon|ubuntu> at 81%
[05:09] <cows> geeksauce, you do this by typing sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[05:09] <Bacon|ubuntu> running off a usb drive
[05:09] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: go to that link i just posted foor wine instructions.
[05:10] <cows> geeksauce, go down to the line where it says 'nvidia' and change it to 'vesa'
[05:10] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: why typ of video chip do you have in that laptop?
[05:10] <cows> geeksauce, then there you can try and start up the x by typing 'startx'
[05:10] <Bacon|ubuntu> x800
[05:10] <Bacon|ubuntu> all in wonder
[05:10] <Bacon|ubuntu> ATi
[05:10] <IndyGunFreak> cuz you're probably gnna have to install drivers for it to get 3d support to play halflife.
[05:10] <IndyGunFreak> oh geez.
[05:10] <IndyGunFreak> ati..lol
[05:10] <cows> lol
[05:10] <Bacon|ubuntu> wait
[05:10] <cows> ati sux
[05:10] <Bacon|ubuntu> thats my PC
[05:10] <Bacon|ubuntu> I have the geforce 7400 go
[05:10] <Bacon|ubuntu> on my lappy
[05:11] <cows> yea use that
[05:11] <cows> lol
[05:11] <IndyGunFreak> much better.
[05:11] <cows> nvidia driver is well supported
[05:11] <cows> ati ppl r retards.. there like m$
[05:11] <geeksauce> cows, ok i will do that.  might as well take this laptop upstairs.  sometimes i forget about that whole poratable thing/wireless network ;-)
[05:11] <IndyGunFreak> cows: i woudln't go that far..lol
[05:11] <cows> lol
[05:12] <cows> well i have a ati radeon 9200 :) full hardware accelaration and i also have a nvidia 7600 gs
[05:12] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: you're likely gonna need to install the nvidia drivers to make halflife work
[05:12] <KingNothing> How do I get pidgin 2.0.1 to install on feisty x64?
[05:12] <Bacon|ubuntu> IndyGunFreak: lets get wine working first
[05:12] <cows> it sux cause alot of people cannot get full support for there x*** cards
[05:12] <ali_> tytt
[05:12] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: ok..  did you go to that link
[05:12] <Bacon|ubuntu> installed it
[05:12] <IndyGunFreak> see, that was easy
[05:12] <spasticteapot> Does anyone know how to make Ubuntu use an outboard sound card? I have a laptop, and want to use my USB SoundBlaster instead of awful internal sound.
[05:13] <cows> geeksauce, yea i just got my first laptop on sunday
[05:13] <cows> geeksauce, its pretty low on specs yet it runs ubuntu well and it even supports desktop effects :)
[05:13] <Bacon|ubuntu> easy?
[05:13] <Bacon|ubuntu> 9 hours?
[05:13] <Bacon|ubuntu> EASY?
[05:13] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[05:13] <cows> geeksauce, bought it off my bro for $250 , it has 256 mb ram , 1.5 ghz intel celeron m
[05:14] <IndyGunFreak> so you got wine installed righ?
[05:14] <cows> geeksauce, as a matter of fact im talking to u from it atm
[05:15] <geeksauce> cow, my school required me to buy a maxed out macbook pro, so i get to work my butt off all summer to pay it off.  i do love it though
[05:15] <Bacon|ubuntu> I guess
[05:15] <Bacon|ubuntu> if thats it
[05:15] <cows> geeksauce, lol .. i liked macs but now i dont..
[05:15] <Bacon|ubuntu> is wget all I have to do?
[05:15] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: open a terminal.. type "winecfg" no quotes... then hit enter...
[05:15] <IndyGunFreak> no...
[05:15] <IndyGunFreak> did you follow the instructions?...
[05:15] <cows> geeksauce, i would buy mac over windows .. but over all im loyal to linux and im new to it.. been using it for 3 months
[05:16] <Bacon|ubuntu> no =(
[05:16] <IndyGunFreak>  Bacon|ubuntu is the wget thing done?
[05:16] <cows> geeksauce, i go on windows a couple of times but not much.. im actually pretty stable now
[05:16] <IndyGunFreak> lol,
[05:16] <kkerwin> Hi. I have an external hard drive that I am trying to get non-root users to be able to write to, but haven't had much success.
[05:16] <problemswithsony> HEY GUYS. How does one import video from a sony handycam onto a computer under ubuntu?
[05:16] <Felarin> cows : i totally dont use windows cept for WoW, rofl
[05:16] <geeksauce> cows, i like how easy they are to use, yet they basically have a BSD core so i can still do geeky stuff with it
[05:16] <Felarin> i dont even ping with Winfdows
[05:16] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[05:16] <greyfrog> problemswithsony, does that use firewire?
[05:16] <cows> felarin, lol i use to play wow.. played it for 1 month and i quit.. wasted a 3 month card cause i never used it..
[05:17] <as2000> sweet
[05:17] <Felarin> geeksauce: completely agree, it's like you have control over the core of the system and yet you have what other operating systems have interface wise... and even more[Beryl, Compiz]
[05:17] <cows> geeksauce, yea i dont like bsd lmfao!
[05:17] <cows> geeksauce, yet i heard good things about all the bsds
[05:17] <Felarin> cows : 1st month is boring as hell
[05:17] <Felarin> cows : my brother uses PC-BSD
[05:17] <Felarin> it's got a PBI installer mode
[05:17] <cows> felarin, its not even funny lmfao! got up to lvl 23 with my draenei shaman then got bored
[05:17] <Felarin> where you download files with .pbi extensions
[05:17] <MrMazda> In breezy I replace an ISA sound card with a CS4281 PCI card. Now only root has sound. How can normal users have sound too?
[05:17] <Felarin> and you just double click on em
[05:17] <Bacon|ubuntu> My brother has two level 70s
[05:18] <Felarin> and they install just like windows
[05:18] <Bacon|ubuntu> s life
[05:18] <gnychis> when trying to run nm-apoplet i get "/bin/sh: /usr/bin/esd: not found"
[05:18] <cows> felarin, how about freebsd , netbsd, openbsd?
[05:18] <Felarin> cows : the fun only starts @ 70
[05:18] <geeksauce> cows how do you like linux but not BSD?
[05:18] <Felarin> cows : only PC-BSD uses pbi files
[05:18] <cows> felarin, yea i heard.. i have fiend friend players
[05:18] <ali_> hai
[05:18] <Felarin> they are like .exe files in windows
[05:18] <hajiki> whats a good application like 7-zip or Winrar for ubuntu?
[05:18] <Felarin> p7zip
[05:18] <instabin> I installed an update and now my nvidia driver does not work
[05:18] <Bacon|ubuntu> Felarin: my brother doesnt do anything else with his life
[05:18] <Felarin> or file-roller
[05:18] <cows> geeksauce, because linux is geared more towards desktop usage
[05:18] <Bacon|ubuntu> its sad
[05:18] <ali_> gggg
[05:18] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[05:18] <bluqo> greyfrog, it's on usb, but i can use firewire
[05:18] <Felarin> make sure you apt-get unrar too
[05:18] <cows> geeksauce, bsd is more like a port of unix
[05:19] <Felarin> Bacon|ubuntu: but i do.
[05:19] <hajiki> ok thanks
[05:19] <geeksauce> well OS X is like the desktop version of linux then
[05:19] <cows> yea
[05:19] <instabin> no
[05:19] <cows> apple is like making bsd desktop wise
[05:19] <Felarin> yeah BSD is a unix flavor
[05:19] <Felarin> non commercial
[05:19] <geeksauce> cows yeah, you know what i mean
[05:19] <IndyGunFreak> Bacon|ubuntu: did you get wine installed?
[05:19] <greyfrog> bluqo, if you can use firewire, use Kino to capture the video
[05:19] <cows> geeksauce, yea.. did you get the x server to work?
[05:19] <Felarin> you can even use Beryl on BSD
[05:19] <cows> felarin, thats cool
[05:19] <instabin> Any one have problems with any of the updates messing up the nvidia drivers?
[05:20] <geeksauce> cows, add strikes again.  i swear i'm getting up this time :)
[05:20] <greyfrog> bluqo, you should be able to lookup some Kino directions pretty easy...  might have one just a sec
[05:20] <Felarin> you must upgrade X though, because BSD is very stable, it dosen't come with the latest releases for programs.
[05:20] <Felarin> It comes with X11R6.7 i think
[05:20] <Felarin> so you need to upgrade it to X11R7.2 with Beryl for the best results
[05:20] <cows> felarin, funny how i just jumped into the freebsd setup thinking it would be like ubuntus.. this was about 2 months back. after i poped in the cd and started setup it said stuff like cut slice im like wth?
[05:21] <Felarin> actually PC-BSD is easy to install
[05:21] <cows> felarin, now i know slice is partition.. they could just use standard english
[05:21] <Felarin> yeah slice
[05:21] <Felarin> lol
[05:21] <Felarin> BSD people are very technical
[05:21] <dudaz> hi, guys, which command can i use the check the type of linux-header..my system is running on
[05:21] <greyfrog> bluqo, no link sorry...
[05:21] <Felarin> uname -a
[05:21] <MrMazda> "could not establish connection to sound server"
[05:21] <cows> felarin, i should make freebsd but basically standard english instead of the normal shakespear style llol
[05:21] <Felarin> dudaz: uname -a should tell you your kernel version
[05:21] <ali_> uggil
[05:21] <SirBob1701> is thier a way to ping a computer directly attached to you via ethernet if yo don't know its ip?
[05:21] <as2000> ahem
[05:21] <Felarin> SirBob1701: try pinging by hostname
[05:22] <SirBob1701> k
[05:22] <cows> felarin, or you can be very rude and traceroute them lol
[05:22] <IndyGunFreak> !steam
[05:22] <ubotu> Steam can be found at: http://www.steampowered.com/
[05:22] <dudaz> Felarin : so i686 means my header is linux-headers-686 issit
[05:22] <cows> !cows
[05:22] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about cows - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:22] <cows> WTH
[05:22] <cows> i dont like ubotu
[05:22] <Felarin> dudaz: i686 is the architecture of your processor
[05:22] <cows> llol
[05:23] <SirBob1701> Felarin: nope
[05:23] <MrMazda> In breezy I replace an ISA sound card with a CS4281 PCI card. Now only root has sound. How can normal users have sound too?
[05:23] <cows> dudaz: im guessing you have pentium or celeron processor?
[05:23] <geeksauce> cows ok i'm right next to my linux box now
[05:23] <SirBob1701> guess i'll have to figure out how to give it an ip
[05:23] <Felarin> SirBob1701: do you have physical access to the machine?
[05:23] <cows> geeksauce, ok cool
[05:23] <Felarin> just edit /etc/init.d/network/interfaces
[05:23] <Felarin> to give it an ip
[05:23] <SirBob1701> Felarin: ya but i dont have dhcp server on either one
[05:24] <cows> he would need static then
[05:24] <Felarin> yeah
[05:24] <Felarin> static
[05:24] <SirBob1701> give them both static ips ?
[05:24] <dudaz> cows : yeah
[05:24] <Felarin> nano /etc/network/interfaces
[05:24] <Felarin> and edit eth0
[05:24] <Felarin> for each PC

[05:25] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[05:25] <cows> dudaz, i recommend virtualbox
[05:26] <Hubris2> ubotu - I'll give that a read

[05:26] <Felarin> oh !!
[05:26] <geeksauce> cows, just purged my nvidia drivers

[05:29] <cows> to remove gdm splash all i have to do is remove the gnome-cups-icon service from the sessions startup list right?
[05:29] <cows> this is in feisty
[05:29] <IndyGunFreak> eljbone: sorry, no clue..
[05:29] <eljbone> so i named my mac hard drive newworld so it could be recongnized by yaboot
[05:29] <SirBob1701> do i have to disable network manager to run 2 connections at once?
[05:30] <cows> SirBob1701, no because 1 will be disconnected
[05:30] <Felarin> cows : there's an option to remove the splash from the preferences or administration section, i simply changed it to a custom splashscreen using a package
[05:30] <dudaz> Felarin: tryed your command..and got this... Package kernel-headers-2.6 is not available, but is referred to by another package
[05:30] <Felarin> try this
[05:30] <SirBob1701> cows: ya but i want to run 2 at once
[05:30] <eljbone> that's it ... i'm dead
[05:30] <cows> felarin, not in feisty. in edgy there was a option in System -> Preferences -> Sessions
[05:30] <Felarin> sudo apt-get install build-essential kernel-headers
[05:30] <cows> SirBob1701, cant do that
[05:30] <IndyGunFreak> eljbone: why are you dead?
[05:30] <Lexxian> !Wubi
[05:30] <ubotu> wubi is an unofficial Ubuntu installer for Windows users - more info is at http://www.cutlersoftware.com/ubuntusetup/wubi/en-US/index.html
[05:30] <Felarin> dudaz: sudo apt-get install build-essential kernel-headers
[05:30] <SirBob1701> cows: i want one to  be a bridge to another ocmputer
[05:30] <Felarin> dudaz: without the 2.6 behind
[05:31] <cows> SirBob1701, meaning like your connecting 1 router to another?

[05:31] <geeksauce> cows ok x still won't start.  fatal error: no screens found
[05:31] <Hubris2> Felarin - I have Network Manager installed already.  When I pick the correct one, it shows a 54 meg link, but when I try configure it says "The Interface Does Not Exist".  Something with my ndiswrapper setup?
[05:31] <dudaz> dudaz : Package kernel-headers is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[05:31] <SirBob1701> like i'm using my wifi in my laptop to connect to net then running a cross over from laptop to desktop
[05:31] <cows> geeksauce, yea did you change it to vesa driver?
[05:31] <Felarin> Hubris2: probably
