[12:01] <pr4bh> brunner: isnt it just converting stereo into surround using software based methods?
[12:01] <pr4bh> im sorry im a newbie, so i apologise if i dont make any sense
[12:01] <brunner> pr4bh: I'm not sure about VLC, but it probably depends on how many channels the audio/video file you're playing was encoded with
[12:02] <cypruser> Synaptic Package Manager is taking an awfully long time to download something. How can I shut it down?
[12:02] <brunner> if it's a stereo mp3 and it's playing on all channels, it's probably just duplicating the output
[12:02] <dr_willis> pr4bh,  if you want  the real thing - ya need a real 5.1+ source. :) not a lot of those out..
[12:02] <pr4bh> brunner: so supposing the sound file is a stereo one, then rear speakers wont work?
[12:02] <Romeo5k> QUESTION ANYONE: Anyone which operates better and nicer on Ubuntu (fiesty) server... phpmyadmin or webmin .. im using a 300MHz machine an d a noob to *nix.. so take that into consideration..
[12:02] <dirtyhand> im trying to download drivers for my laptop, but HPs website only has them in .exe files, will Ubuntu be able to run these and extract the files?
[12:02] <dr_willis> pr4bh,  thats what you are seeing.. probelry.. its only 2.1 sound.. so the rear speakers are silent.
[12:03] <n3rrd> !tls
[12:03] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about tls - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:03] <koen> bruenig: will i keep my hfsplus permissions when tarring it from linux?
[12:03] <brunner> pr4bh: again, I'm not sure how vlc does it, but I have my myth box configured to only output on two channels when I play something that only includes two channels. if I play a 5.1 DVD, I get output on all six channels
[12:03] <rockets> dirtyhand, you cant use windows drivers in linux, except for wifi cards
[12:03] <pr4bh> dr_willis: oh.. but my mates got the same card, he plays mp3s in vista, all the bloody speakers work fine
[12:03] <rockets> dirtyhand, but you probably wont NEED drivers for most things either
[12:03] <Nergar> is there something like community council or anything like that????
[12:03] <dr_willis> pr4bh,  its up-mixing them automaticially then would be my guess.
[12:03] <bruenig> koen, tar it with p option
[12:03] <dirtyhand> rockets: thats what im trying to get the wireless for this laptop, it wont work atm, just ethernet
[12:03] <dr_willis> pr4bh,  theres plugins for the various media playes that do that.
[12:03] <brunner> I don't want my software app to pump audio to all channels. I would prefer that my receiver do that.
[12:03] <cobalt027>  this is more of a nautilus question,but: im trying to use/setup some mount/unmount
[12:03] <cobalt027>                    scripts for ISOs.. but the $NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_* variables do not seem to be getting set
[12:03] <cobalt027>                    when i run a script. What am i doing wrong?
[12:04] <rockets> dirtyhand, ok. a lot of driver files are really zip files. try changing it to .zip and extracting it
[12:04] <pr4bh> dr_willis: oh, thats a nice tip
[12:04] <cobalt027> (sorry for the multiple lines)
[12:04] <dirtyhand> ok
[12:04] <rockets> driver exe files that is
[12:04] <dirtyhand> gotcha
[12:04] <brunner> unless the source actually includes 5 or 6 channels of audio
[12:04] <dr_willis> pr4bh,  just split the wires.. :) so ya get front in the rear...
[12:04] <Nergar> is there something like community council or anything like that????
[12:04] <brunner> anyway, I'm going to assume that the ubuntu installer setup grub. I'll brb, I hope.
[12:04] <peeps_work> say i have some program installed from the repos, and I want to upgrade to the latest version available(which is not in the repos).  should I completely uninstall it first via apt-get, or can I make install over the existing install?
[12:04] <HOT>  Nergar what do you mean?
[12:04] <dirtyhand> hmm
[12:04] <dirtyhand> i renamed to .zip but I cant double click openit
[12:04] <rockets> dirtyhand, nono
[12:04] <rockets> dirtyhand, unzip it from the terminal
[12:05] <dirtyhand> ok
[12:05] <pr4bh> dr_willis: hmm..
[12:05] <rockets> dirtyhand, unzip filename.zip
[12:05] <dirtyhand> kk
[12:05] <rockets> put it in a folder first dirtyhand
[12:05] <rockets> directory rather
[12:05] <pr4bh> dr_willis: i dont think i have the guts to mess with the wires
[12:05] <dirtyhand> ok
[12:05] <Nergar> i had a problem with an official loco team
[12:05] <HOT> Nergar: from Ubuntu?
[12:05] <Nergar> yes
[12:06] <HOT> Nergar: a problem they are helping you with?
[12:06] <dirtyhand> rockets: unzip wont work
[12:06] <pr4bh> dr_willis: ill read a bit more on alsa's website, see if i can get the rear speakers to work (upmixing or whatever technique it can use)
[12:06] <dr_willis> pr4bh,  phht! its just speaker wires!
[12:06] <rockets> dirtyhand, ok. theres still a way
[12:06] <dr_willis> not like its 440V! :)
[12:06] <rockets> dirtyhand, what laptop model and wifi card is it
[12:06] <pr4bh> dr_willis: lol, they cost me 100 quid mate!
[12:06] <Nergar> HOT, a problem with an op of #ubuntu-es
[12:06] <dr_willis> bah. ya cant hurt them.. perhaps.. :)
[12:06] <peeps_work> what's the best way to upgrade an app to the latest versoin, when the repos are not carrying the latest version?
[12:06] <pr4bh> dr_willis: hehe, just a poor student here!
[12:06] <HOT> Nergar: you want to complain about an op?
[12:06] <Nergar> yes
[12:07] <dr_willis> peeps_work,  use the source.. and isntall as a user. to the users home dir. is the safest way.
[12:07] <dirtyhand> rockets: Laptop: HP pavillion ze4900 /  Wireless: Broadcom product: BCM4306 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Controller
[12:07] <HOT> Nergar: on the forums under the irc link is an email for abuse, send something to that
[12:07] <dr_willis> peeps_work,  that way the user can use the newer version. but the old verisonis still there systemwide
[12:07] <pr4bh> ok thanks dr_willis and brunner
[12:07] <pr4bh> ill see what i can do
[12:07] <rockets> dirtyhand, haha yeah. good ol' broadcom
[12:07] <dirtyhand> :P
[12:07] <rockets> dirtyhand, gimmie 2 mins, dont go anywhere
[12:07] <Nergar> ok thnx
[12:07] <dirtyhand> yep, do your thing
[12:07] <HOT> dirtyhand: actually your lucky mate, its pretty simple
[12:07] <peeps_work> dr_willis, how do i tell the install to put in my user home/?
[12:08] <peeps_work> i just usually do ./configure && make && sudo make install
[12:08] <dirtyhand> kk
[12:08] <HOT> dirtyhand: are you using 7.04?
[12:08] <dr_willis> peeps_work,  when you compile it. You can give ./configure some options.
[12:08] <dirtyhand> yes sir
[12:08] <HOT> dirtyhand: your laughing then, its takes like 10 seconds, but rockets probly getting the link
[12:08] <dirtyhand> :) go ahead and tellme
[12:09] <numus> awesome got intellimouse workin
[12:09] <peeps_work> dr_willis, how can i know what options i need to give it
[12:09] <rockets> HOT, im booting up windows in a virtualmachine to get at the files
[12:09] <pr4bh> dr_willis: oh btw, how to change the card type in alsamixer (console thingie)
[12:09] <HOT> rockets: no need mate, there is a script that will do it for you, gimme a sec
[12:09] <rockets> HOT, dont tell me, tell dirtyhand
[12:10] <dr_willis> pr4bh,  no idea. I dont switch cards. :) thres a bot !alsa url
[12:10] <dr_willis> !alsa
[12:10] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[12:10] <HOT> searching...
[12:10] <xyl> hi
[12:10] <pr4bh> ok cheers
[12:10] <Fezzler> My Ubuntu pc has been freezing up after months of running very well.
[12:10] <xyl> it seems beryl has disabled some of my keys like alt-gr and the windows key. how can i fix this?
[12:11] <dr_willis> Fezzler,  whens the last time ya dusted out the insides of the pc?
[12:11] <Fezzler> Most notably I notice a longer delay after I login and nautilus loading.
[12:11] <dr_willis> Fezzler,  mine was doing that the other day.. it had a Dust-Godzilla in it. :)
[12:11] <HOT> searching....
[12:11] <Fezzler> I also notice the time before my desktop image loads is longer
[12:11] <unitheory> i work tech support at school and so many computers just need dusting
[12:11] <rockets> God damn it I hate Ex Falso, keeps crashing gnome
[12:12] <cycom> Anyone get the horizontal scroll working on a bluetooth mighty mouse in ubuntu?
[12:12] <cobalt027> whats a good system nonitor for X?
[12:12] <HOT> dirtyhand: i will give you the super quick version, open synaptec and search for bcm43xx-fwcutter
[12:12] <cobalt027> the gnome-system-monitor is boring....
[12:13] <peeps_work> htop baby!
[12:13] <HOT> htop IS cool
[12:13] <peeps_work> htop is HOT
[12:13] <Fezzler> My most resent activity has been changing permissions of my home folder, installing recordmydesktop and fixing the $HOME /.dmrc being ignored issue
[12:13] <peeps_work> ;)
[12:13] <Nutubuntu> audacity gives me "Error while opening sound device" when I try to play an mp3. How do I get around this error?
[12:13] <Sonicadvance1> HA
[12:13] <cycom> I keep trying what I find in google, and I'll be darned if it has helped one bit.  The only thing I haven't tried is partching the kernel, because the patch is out of date (i think)
[12:13] <Fezzler> Any ideas or suggestion for things to check (other than dust in my case ha ha)
[12:13] <Sonicadvance1> I found out why I can't use Firestarter with the network card I have
[12:13] <dirtyhand> HOT: ok sorry was afk
[12:14] <dirtyhand> HOT: doing that now
[12:14] <Sonicadvance1> It doesn't seem to work with Ubuntu :D
[12:14] <cobalt027> htop - har har har... how about for X?
[12:14] <HOT> dirtyhand: "sudo apt-get install bcm43xx-fwcutter" should do it
[12:14] <dirtyhand> kk
[12:14] <HOT> cobalt027: conky is pretty groovy and runs on desktop
[12:14] <xyl> any idea why beryl would work fine (fglrx, xgl) - meaning moving windows around works fluently, but resizing them is darn slow?
[12:14] <cycom> xyl: that's a question for ubuntu-effects, I think.
[12:15] <HOT> xyl: i cant remember why, but thats as known bug with a known fix
[12:15] <dirtyhand> HOT: its done, now what?
[12:15] <HOT> dirtyhand: did it not prompt you for anything?
[12:15] <cobalt027> xyl - i had a similiar performance problem.
[12:15] <cobalt027> i disabled "blurring" and it REALLY helped
[12:15] <dirtyhand> yes a blue screen with yes/no about extracting
[12:15] <peeps_work> cobalt027, maybe if you articulate what exactly is wrong with gnome-system-monitor, someone could suggest something "better"
[12:15] <cycom> blurring just made my eyes hurt anyhow
[12:15] <HOT> dirtyhand: just keep saying yes, it should reboot you
[12:15] <dirtyhand> I selected yes,and it went through
[12:15] <HOT> oh right, no errors?
[12:15] <dirtyhand> its done but it didnt reboot me
[12:15] <Fezzler> okay, I'll try a more specific question.  Is there a way to check what is deamons/software are loading when I log in?
[12:16] <HOT> ok reboot and you should be good to go
[12:16] <HOT> wait
[12:16] <Fezzler> Oh, I've been messing with my sound recorder too.
[12:16] <dirtyhand> waiting
[12:16] <cobalt027> peeps_work: i dunno - its just...... boring. looks too windows like
[12:16] <legal_sized2> Hi room. I'm trying to get Bind9 to work. but I keep getting an error of "Jul  8 14:56:12 legal-sized named[3841] : zone legal-sized.com/IN: loading master file named.legal-sized.com: file not found".  I'm guessing a path is not right, or maybe a permissions thing? Any ideas on how I can check?
[12:16] <HOT> keep an eye on the green lights, if they go faint green or solid green its working (if you have a PCMCIA card that it)
[12:16] <capnfantasmo> how do I see the userlist on xchat?
[12:16] <dirtyhand> HOT: huh?
[12:17] <HOT> dirtyhand: is your card internal or external?
[12:17] <cobalt027> capnfantasmo: /who ??
[12:17] <dirtyhand> internal
[12:17] <theshadow> what does it mean when apt-get says The following packages have been kept back: linux-image-generic linux-restricted-modules-generic
[12:17] <HOT> dirtyhand: ah just reboot then, it should be cool beans
[12:17] <theshadow> ?
[12:17] <dirtyhand> kk
[12:17] <dirtyhand> rebootingz!
[12:17] <Fezzler> /top
[12:17] <numus> how do i install an exe with wine?
[12:18] <HOT> "wine example.exe"
[12:18] <theshadow> numus: normally you should ask the nice folks in #wine . But since I'm here wine myapp.exe
[12:18] <cobalt027> numus: OR winfile - then find it, and 2x click
[12:18] <Fezzler> /stats op
[12:18] <cobalt027> winefile that is
[12:18] <numus> thank you so much
[12:18] <numus> trying to install orb
[12:18] <ShackJack> Hi - just wondering - is a firewall (firestarter) necessary for the average 'net surfer using Ubuntu, what with the way iptables are set up?
[12:19] <numus> anyone know of an activesync for linux?
[12:19] <erdinger_> numus, what is orb
[12:19] <erdinger_> ?
[12:19] <HOT> ShackJack: thats a can of worms, i would say no
[12:19] <numus> video stream program
[12:19] <theshadow> ShackJack: Personally ... No.
[12:19] <HOT> ShackJack: are you behind a hardware firewall?
[12:19] <ianmcorvidae> I use firestarter for one reason only: I'm a paranoid little freak.
[12:19] <ShackJack> HOT: Mmm... not sure, I have a Comcast cable modem and a Linksys setup...
[12:19] <ianmcorvidae> Standard user, I wouldn't say bother.
[12:20] <stetran> anyone know why my beryl stoped working?
[12:20] <Fezzler> It just locked up on me again.  It seems to happen when I use functions that require file manager
[12:20] <HOT> ShackJack: the linksys should be doing a lot of the legwork, at least NATing you
[12:20] <numus> no one is in wine
[12:20] <r0b-> nixternal
[12:20] <numus> how do i run the program now..
[12:20] <Fezzler> I've been hitting Ctrl Alt Backspace to un-freeze and then re-logging in.
[12:20] <legal_sized2> I got hacked while using RedHat, I plan on using FireStarter soon.
[12:21] <phoenix_> whoami
[12:21] <dirtyhand> HOT: i dont think that did it, now wireless doesn't even show up
[12:21] <ShackJack> HOT - yeah looking at it, it blocks anonymous net reqyests, Filter Multicast, Filter IDENT(Port 113)...   Filter Internet NAT Redirection - is **not** checked... you recommend it should be?
[12:21] <Fezzler> But then I get black blue screen with a grey screen in upper left.  Cursor changes in upper left to the kind one uses with a text tool
[12:21] <dirtyhand> when I go to networks it now only has ethernet and modem
[12:21] <Fezzler> Any ideas?
[12:21] <numus> env WINEPREFIX="/home/ericlieberman/.wine" wine "C:\Program Files\Orb Networks\Orb\bin\OrbTray.exe"
[12:22] <HOT> ShackJack: just run a basic port scan using something like www.shieldsup.com
[12:22] <cobalt027> numus: winefile - find it in .wine/drive_c/program files/blah blahb albh
[12:22] <Zasch> How is it that I modify my startup such that it will automatically run options without me having to type them in each time in GRUB?
[12:22] <HOT> wait thats a bogus url
[12:22] <numus> i dont think this is going to work
[12:22] <Zasch> That is to say: How do I make it so it runs "noapic" every time I turn it on?
[12:22] <ShackJack> HOT - I don't think that's the right site ;)
[12:23] <HOT> ShackJack: google "shields up"
[12:23] <neztiti> guys what is that mean   cp -R
[12:23] <Nutubuntu> How can I get sound to work in audacity? It doesn't seem to want to play ... :(
[12:23] <numus> nope this wont work
[12:23] <cobalt027> numus: i couldnt get MS MONEY to install.. :(
[12:24] <numus> true
[12:24] <Fezzler> If this app (Gaim) is working as is Beryl, Network, Sound Volume (etc. apps) but all the GNOME stuff seems frozen????
[12:24] <ShackJack> HOT - K - thanx never heard of that one... though I'll prolly get about a million Trek references as well :)
[12:24] <numus> now i cant' get the program to close down
[12:24] <HOT> heh, its a quick and nasty port scan you can run against yourself
[12:24] <numus> brb

[12:31] <macogw-is-a-girl> Fezzler: thats not supposed to happen, and i dont know how to fix it
[12:32] <d2812> dr_willis: Have pm'd you.
[12:32] <farrel> hello everyone
[12:32] <dr_willis> i saw it.. looks like Tech0talk from apple. :)
[12:32] <macogw-is-a-girl> Fezzler: ctrl alt backspace restarts X
[12:32] <dr_willis> d2812,  it keeps your HOME on a remote server basiucially?
[12:32] <Condoulo> Is it possible to register a nick
[12:32] <macogw-is-a-girl> Condoulo: yes
[12:32] <getisboy> !register | Condoulo
[12:32] <ubotu> Condoulo: Information about registering your Freenode nick is at http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#contents-userregistration
[12:33] <d2812> dr_willis: thats right, and automatically performs incremental backups when data is changed as far as I understand it.
[12:33] <macogw-is-a-girl> Fezzler: i dont know why your panels are freezing. how much ram do you have? are there a lot of applets on the panels?  is a lot of other junk running?
[12:33] <Zasch> macogw-is-a-girl: Do I put "defoptions = noapic" or do I just put "noapic"?
[12:33] <Fezzler> Mac: can I restart X from comamnd line?  Ctrl Alt F4 and run a command line command?

[12:33] <tim_abell> rhythmbox has started not donloading the whole of podcasts :( anyone got any ideas / had the same problem? it's driving me nuts.
[12:33] <macogw-is-a-girl> Zasch: it should say "# defoptions = quiet splash" right now. make it say "# defoptions = quiet splash nopaic"
[12:33] <d2812> dr_willis: That way, you can take you other machine away, do some work, then when you reconnect, it updates the version on the server.
[12:33] <tim_abell> downloading
[12:34] <macogw-is-a-girl> Zasch:  make it say "# defoptions = quiet splash noapic"
[12:34] <dr_willis> d2812,  i saw a 'mini-linux' machine that had a similer subscription service.. but that was just for their machine. Not seen a gereric way to do it with Linux. I recall the SLAX livecd. had a similer feature. but that may of just been for settings.
[12:34] <Fezzler> I have about 640 meg of ram
[12:34] <ilikec0ws> Fezzler, /etc/conf.d/xdm stop && /etc/conf.d/xdm start
[12:34] <Condoulo> Ah, there
[12:34] <ilikec0ws> Fezzler, I think :)
[12:34] <Fezzler> I don't think a lot of junk is running
[12:34] <Chiel> small problem: after installing ubuntu, my network card got all settings from DHCP, internal ip, etc.. everything worked, except the DNS-thingies. I could ping my ADSL-modem, I could connect to my other pc.. just couldn't connect to websites, since it couldn't find the right address.. any suggestions ?
[12:34] <macogw-is-a-girl> Fezzler: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[12:34] <PirateLeChuck> which command should i use to see which services are running?
[12:35] <ilikec0ws> Fezzler, Guess thats stupid gentoo with its different locations :) follow what macogw-is-a-girl said
[12:35] <macogw-is-a-girl> PirateLeChuck: ps -e will show them all with their PID. if you want to see how much resources they're all using, use "top"
[12:35] <peeps_work> goddammit i can't visit more than two pages before firefox crashes
[12:35] <dr_willis> htop is nice also.
[12:35] <rabidweezle_> note to whoever would be in charge of this sort of thing, in the dvd software page: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html it says: sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh to install dvd decoding, when it's not in the examples folder in feisty, but the main libdvdread3 folder
[12:36] <macogw-is-a-girl> peeps_work: try kazehakase if you want another gecko-rendering browser.  if you dont mind proprietary browsers, opera is fast
[12:36] <d2812> dr_willis: I think I remember the same machine.  Would have been a nice easy auto backup system to run on my desktop.
[12:36] <macogw-is-a-girl> rabidweezle_: thats a wiki, isnt it?
[12:36] <PirateLeChuck> macogw-is-a-girl, not a process a service
[12:37] <PirateLeChuck> !servuce
[12:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about servuce - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[12:37] <PirateLeChuck> !servuce
[12:37] <PirateLeChuck> i

[12:37] <tmccrary> What the hell is up with the new -16 kernel. It's breaking everything
[12:37] <rabidweezle_> no macogw-is-a-girl
[12:37] <macogw-is-a-girl> tmccrary: it was a bug-fix kernel...
[12:37] <peeps_work> i need firefox for my work.  it worked fine on fedora core 5, but now that I tried to put ubuntu on my computer it is the least stable app i have ever seen
[12:37] <rabidweezle_> else I would have changed it myself
[12:38] <tmccrary> yeah, well it brakes everything on most of the systems I've seen it on. Nvidia, wacom, etc.
[12:38] <macogw-is-a-girl> tmccrary: because nvidia cards and texas instruments card readers werent working right with -15. if -16 isnt working for you, uninstall it and use -15
[12:38] <peeps_work> i never know how to troubleshoot these things when they happen though
[12:38] <tmccrary> what the hell were the ubuntu maintainers thinking of when they released that
[12:38] <zcat[1] > is there a package for the nvidia 8421 drivers I can use in feisty? The card won't work with the current 9xxx drivers and legacy drivers suck, but it should work with 8421 because it's using that in 'doze
[12:38] <peeps_work> i really don't want to go back to fedora core
[12:38] <richard> im having this problem with my wireless adapter using feisty
[12:38] <Nutubuntu> How can I get sound to work in audacity? It doesn't seem to want to play ... :(
[12:39] <macogw-is-a-girl> tmccrary: as far as i'm aware the only changes were to update the sd card reader modules because they were broken and fix nvidia.
[12:39] <richard> this shows all the networks but it wont connect
[12:39] <zcat[1] > I don't want to use the binary installer either..
[12:39] <peeps_work> macogw-is-a-girl, does that browser support firefox extensions?
[12:39] <richard> im using a belkin wireless adapter
[12:39] <macogw-is-a-girl> tmccrary: im not sure how that would break wacom, but have you checked your xorg?
[12:39] <tim_abell> anyone know how to persuade rhythmbox to download the *whole* podcast after having decided that 20mins is enough for me?
[12:39] <teer2> peeps_work: are you seeing instability with Flash Player, maybe?
[12:39] <richard> anyone know what i should do to fix this
[12:40] <macogw-is-a-girl> peeps_work: opera has extensions of its own a think, but you should try disabling the extensions you have installed and see if it's still unstable, then add one at a time to see if one of them is causing it
[12:40] <teer2> peeps_work: Because firefox is very stable for me - but I don't use Flash because there is no 64-bit version
[12:40] <peeps_work> teer2, seems like just about every page, i don't think it's just flassh
[12:40] <macogw-is-a-girl> richard: which one?
[12:40] <tmccrary> macogw-is-a-girl: Yeah, it's fine with -15 but -16 acts like the drivers don't load. Looks like maybe they broke the binary interface and didn't update the modules for some drivers
[12:40] <pr4bh> how to restore my sound cards?  :(
[12:40] <richard> well i cant get my wireless adapter to connect to a network in feisty
[12:40] <macogw-is-a-girl> tmccrary: maybe there's a changelog somewhere...
[12:40] <teer2> peeps_work: Every page!  I've heard of some people having it crash once a day, but every day is unusual.  Maybe there is something else going on.
[12:41] <macogw-is-a-girl> richard: which wireless adapter is it?
[12:41] <teer2> pr4bh: I just had this problem today when I installed *ahem* another Ubuntu kernel patch.
[12:41] <macogw-is-a-girl> richard: not just "belkin" but which one
[12:41] <GoblinInventor> does anybody know how to enable direct rendering on a Radeon Xpress 200m?
[12:41] <teer2> pr4bh: I had to reinstall the kernel packages.
[12:41] <cypher1> macogw-is-a-girl, do you know how to make a usb headphone work with firefox ?
[12:41] <peeps_work> teer2, yeah, it's terrible.  i open google, search for "testing", and bam firefox quits
[12:42] <macogw-is-a-girl> cypher1: nope
[12:42] <zcat[1] > cypher1: I sould expect it to just appear as a new sound device, /dev/dsp1 or whatever..
[12:42] <macogw-is-a-girl> richard: if you don't know what it is, run "lspci" in the terminal and find it in the list that prints out
[12:42] <Condoulo> Would you suggest buying a Dell inspiron with Ubuntu pre-installed
[12:42] <cypher1> zcat[1] , it works well with vlc, totem etc.. its just the firefox..
[12:43] <teer2> peeps_work:  :-O   Using greasemonkey scripts or some extension that would trigger on every page?  That repeatable issue sounds like something you could diagnose with debug logs.
[12:43] <LucianIndy> Condoulo, I would because the price of the system would go down.
[12:43] <revilodraw> hello boys and girls, does anyone know how to fix an xorg.conf file so my ati radeon x1400 video driver will work and i can boot into feisty...i do have the livecd, but didnt use it to intall feisty.. i used the update manager and upgraded instread
[12:43] <zcat[1] > Condoulo: yes, but only to mke a point; I'd never actually run an OEM install.. nuke and pave it the way you want it installed :)
[12:43] <LucianIndy> Condoulo, when you buy a windows pre-installed computer you are purchasing a license which increases the actual price
[12:43] <richard> i believe its the fd9050
[12:43] <macogw-is-a-girl> Condoulo: yeah, or if you want to have a 1-800 to call without buying support from Canonical, system76 makes nice computers with ubuntu on them and supports both hardware and software (provided you're running a stable ubuntu release. if unstable they dont support software)
[12:43] <teer2> revilodraw: Did you just have these problems with the new update today?
[12:44] <rolfen> xfce rocks
[12:44] <richard> the one with the long usb cord and the usb adapter that plugs into the cradle thing
[12:44] <Condoulo> I'm thinking Dell cause I can get a discount from them
[12:44] <Radio> where can i find some good gnome themes?
[12:44] <macogw-is-a-girl> zcat[1] : the oem install on dells is a default ubuntu install.  no codecs added or anything, and even the restricted drivers aren't pre-installed.
[12:44] <macogw-is-a-girl> richard: telling me what it looks like doesnt help
[12:44] <teer2> Condoulo: Buying a computer from a vendor who supports Linux and preinstalls it is HIGHLY recommended.  Do you want some other vendors for comparison?
[12:44] <revilodraw> teer2; last night i upgraded from edgy to feisty, and this problem occurred after the system restarted
[12:44] <zcat[1] > macogw-is-a-girl: for now.. just wait until they start developing linux trialware and crap..
[12:45] <richard> its the F5D9050
[12:45] <hikenboot> I am currently using cat packages.txt | cut -f 1 --delimiter=, | xargs=1 apt-get remove -s -purge > out11.txt to search for which dependencies are being removed that I dont want to be removed...but I dont think it has the behaviour I want
[12:45] <rolfen> Radio http://art.gnome.org/
[12:45] <hikenboot> I want to do a dry run removing each package one for each run thru the loop
[12:45] <Condoulo> I usually do a lot of my own support. I would just like to buy a good machine for a good price
[12:45] <Justi1> What is the difference between FDE and GNOME?
[12:46] <richard> it shows the available networks but it wont let me connect to any of them
[12:46] <macogw-is-a-girl> !ralink
[12:46] <ubotu> Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[12:46] <zcat[1] > anyhow the ubuntu oem install isn't all that great either. what if you want a bigger swap, or reiserfs, or /home on a different partition...
[12:46] <macogw-is-a-girl> !ralink | richard
[12:46] <ubotu> richard: please see above
[12:46] <teer2> revilodraw: sorry, I've stayed away from ATI cards.
[12:46] <Condoulo> http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b390/silvershadowrat/dellspecs.png (I can get a machine like that for a good price with the discount I have)
[12:46] <richard> whats !ralink?
[12:46] <macogw-is-a-girl> zcat[1] : thats what the automatic setting (which most new users use) on ubuntu's install does too
[12:46] <macogw-is-a-girl> richard: read what ubotu said about wireless documentation
[12:47] <macogw-is-a-girl> richard: you have a RaLink chipset
[12:47] <revilodraw> teer2; haha i dont blame you.. the problwem seems to be i have NOTHING in my xorg.conf file
[12:47] <richard> but why wont it connect
[12:47] <macogw-is-a-girl> richard: do you have mac filtering or any kind of encryption turned on?
[12:47] <richard> no
[12:47] <GoblinInventor> revilodraw, what does glxinfo | grep direct output?
[12:47] <zcat[1] > macogw-is-a-girl: for new users; yeah.. sensible defaults. For me, I like /home by itself at the very least.
[12:48] <richard> im using feisty off of the live cd
[12:48] <teer2> revilodraw: I guess you could find someone with the same card and copy the data into your xorg.conf
[12:48] <GoblinInventor> revilodraw, and fglrx for that matter
[12:48] <GoblinInventor> er
[12:48] <GoblinInventor> fglrxinfo
[12:48] <richard> im having to use windows xp for right now so i can connect to the internet
[12:48] <zcat[1] > brb; trying out new nvidia drivers
[12:48] <fisherhome> so i'd like to build a server for my new place and am considering using ubuntu but the lack of gui is a bit spooky.. can ubuntu server 7.04 i386 handle gnome?
[12:48] <mike1234> im fairly new to linux and am just curious about hyper threading.  I have a hyper threaded procesor at the moment and in the system resources it is showing up as two processors is this right
[12:48] <Condoulo> richard- so am I.  Hence why I got a dual-boot at the moment
[12:49] <kerneld> fisherhome: Don't get spooked out by lack of a gui
[12:49] <macogw-is-a-girl> richard: do you have any encryption turned on on your router
[12:49] <revilodraw> teer 2 and goblininventor; I wont be able to copy and paste it cos im using another pc.. i was thinking that teer2... goblininventor; one sec]
[12:49] <yohan> I'm trying to compiler urxvt but i get this: checking for /usr/bin/perl suitability... configure: error: no, unable to link
[12:49] <yohan> I'm trying to compiler urxvt but i get this: checking for /usr/bin/perl suitability... configure: error: no, unable to link, what do I need?
[12:49] <richard> i dont know, im getting internet off of someone elses router
[12:49] <LucianIndy> i lucked out in the fact that my wireless card worked off the bat. i was sweating that one
[12:49] <fisherhome> i'm not, i love CLI i just don't know it solidly enough yet to manage a server
[12:49] <macogw-is-a-girl> richard: you dont need to put in any passwords on the router, though?
[12:49] <richard> no
[12:50] <richard> no passwords
[12:50] <fisherhome> i figured if gnome was there as a backup, i'd have no problems learning it
[12:50] <LucianIndy> unsecure wireless routers rock... i can go almost anywhere in my town and get internet
[12:50] <Condoulo> I've had trouble connecting to uin-secure routers in UBuntu in the past
[12:50] <richard> this one is at a college dorm
[12:50] <dibblego> is there a document for setting up a dual-head display with ATI/xinerama?
[12:51] <MRiGnS> LucianIndy, isn't that kind of illegal?
[12:51] <revilodraw> goblininventor; how do i use glxinfo | grep
[12:51] <LucianIndy> mrigns, hey if the people dont secure them its not my fault
[12:51] <kurumin> ??
[12:51] <Condoulo> I think it's only illegal if they crack the code.
[12:51] <GoblinInventor> revilodraw, just type in "glxinfo | grep direct"
[12:51] <LucianIndy> i usually just tunnel back to my computer anyhow
[12:51] <LucianIndy> my desktop, that is
[12:51] <fazed> that is not what a judge in florida thinks lucian
[12:52] <LucianIndy> fortunately im not in florida
[12:52] <skcubrats> fisherhome, for what it's worth, the tutorials and support documents for server tasks are all going to be command-line only anyways. The GUI wouldn't do you much good even if you had it. That said, Ubuntu desktop can to all the server tasks anyways. If this is for a home application, just do what you want on Desktop, then you have your GUI.
[12:52] <Nutubuntu> I have an on-topic question, please ... How can I get sound to work in audacity? It doesn't seem to want to play ... :(
[12:52] <kerneld> MRiGnS: Ermm  unethical maybe - but illegal? If they have an unsecured router - how is it illegal to connect to it? A default xp instal - find wireless connection - and you can connect to it and get no legal notice - how is it illegal?
[12:52] <GoblinInventor> Xfree86-DRI missing... anybody know how to fix?
[12:53] <revilodraw> goblininventor; ok thank you for your help too!! heres what it said " Error: Unable to open display (null)"
[12:53] <fazed> there was a judge in florida that ruled against a guy who was borrowing his neighbor's internet
[12:53] <MRiGnS> just because something isn't locked it's not legal
[12:53] <kerneld> MRiGnS: now if you try poking around on their lan - now that might be a different thing
[12:53] <fazed> i don't feel like researching it right now but the info is out there somewhere
[12:53] <GoblinInventor> revilodraw, alright. does "fglrxinfo" give you anything?
[12:53] <MRiGnS> kerneld, maybe, I'm no lawyer though
[12:54] <revilodraw> Goblininventor; "Error; Unable to open display :0"
[12:55] <LucianIndy> the judge probably got him on pirating internet service
[12:55] <macogw-is-a-girl> richard: what's listed if you type "ifconfig"
[12:55] <havanger> hello everyone
[12:55] <LucianIndy> your network information
[12:55] <havanger> i have a n00b question, is there a seperate channel for that?
[12:55] <fisherhome> nope ask away
[12:55] <macogw-is-a-girl> havanger: this is it
[12:56] <Nutubuntu> havanger,  this is actually the support chan, though it might not look that way right now
[12:56] <GoblinInventor> revilodraw, hmm... it's not what I thought was wrong... sorry, my experience is very limited, i just went through getting an ATI Xpress 200m to work, so I thought I might be of use... sorry, I don't know how to help with that issue
[12:57] <havanger> ok... i'm using ryhtom box music player to lisen to a internet radio station, but it states couldn't start data flow back and also gives a codec error
[12:57] <troxor> has anyone gotten freenx to work when connecting through a router (forwarded port, static local IP)
[12:57] <havanger> i believe the site usess mp3 coding, but don't know how to install codecs
[12:57] <nill> i get no sound to a dvd in movie player (that autostarts the movie), mplayer can't play the file ... what other player or codec may i might need?
[12:57] <revilodraw> goblininvntor; thanks anyway!! do u know of any way to use a generic driver to at least be abkle to get into a desktop and then i could find something to put in the xorg.conf file

[01:01] <khatahn> does any of the Instant Messaging programs that support msn also support custom graphical smiley animations (the ones that, as far as i've understood, can be sent to other people just by inserting them in the chat)? just trying to get someone to stop using vmware with windows just to see the stupid custom graphical smileys ;)
[01:01] <phreck> lol
[01:01] <macogw-is-a-girl> Nutubuntu: not that i can understand them, but it looks more like foreign-language than keyboard-smashing
[01:01] <fisherhome> muito obrigado
[01:01] <mikecool123> when you run uptime on the command line and you get the load averages back does 1 mean 100%
[01:01] <mahrellon> Is it worth the risk of updating the Nvidia drivers in Ubunty 7.04-i386? I'm a WoW freak and hoping to improve the performance of wine by updating.
[01:01] <kerneld> nill: I used to use ogle to watch dvds
[01:01] <Maruzzella> ma va sburrami a minkia
[01:02] <nill> kerneld: okay
[01:02] <nixternal> !english > Maruzzella
[01:02] <sucapulli> sucaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[01:02] <Redimere> mahrellon, no it isn't. Far more trouble than it's worth
[01:02] <teer2> mahrellon: I've been monitoring the room here for a while, and not too many people have had problems with the patches.
[01:02] <sucapulli> ieahflahflasdhbdsa
[01:02] <sucapulli> sdakjkbfsdahjbvgdfsa
[01:02] <sucapulli> sdakhvdksaaf
[01:02] <nixternal> next?
[01:02] <Maruzzella> oh
[01:02] <fisherhome> lol
[01:02] <Maruzzella> ma nessuno ci rispunne
[01:02] <macogw-is-a-girl> ok that one ws keyboard smashing
[01:02] <teratoma> what's the name of the Gutsy channel?
[01:02] <asdfasf1> does anyone have any guides for changing your video card in ubuntu? mine won't even boot when i put in my new card
[01:02] <dede_eccel> alguem do brasil?
[01:02] <mahrellon> Reimere: Cheers m8. That's what I was afraid of lol
[01:02] <Flannel> teratoma: #ubuntu+1
[01:02] <macogw-is-a-girl> but Maruzzella looks foreign
[01:02] <Flannel> !br | dede_eccel
[01:02] <ubotu> dede_eccel: Por favor use #ubuntu-br ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigado.
[01:02] <asdfasf1> it kicks me to console mode, i mean
[01:02] <nixternal> !english > macogw-is-a-girl
[01:02] <nixternal> err
[01:02] <fisherhome> lol
[01:02] <mahrellon> teer2: And thank you too. The patches for Wine of for the Nvidia drivers?
[01:02] <nixternal> !english > Maruzzella
[01:03] <mikecool123> when you run uptime on the command line and you get the load averages back does 1 mean 100%
[01:03] <Nutubuntu> macogw-is-a-girl,  foreign does not necessarily mean friendly - those were not "help" words, some of them
[01:03] <macogw-is-a-girl> nixternal: i know that...i was saying to !ubuntu-es them or whatever them
[01:03] <macogw-is-a-girl> Nutubuntu: well i couldnt READ it!
[01:03] <Nutubuntu> matters not, but thanks to the ops -- t/y nixternal
[01:03] <nixternal> hehe, macogw-is-a-girl I accidentally tab completed you in there...sorry
[01:03] <teer2> mahrellon: I don't know about that - I have an NVIDIA card, but I have given up on Windows applications.
[01:03] <macogw-is-a-girl> nixternal: ah ok
[01:03] <Redimere> Hey, do any of you know anything about ATI driver upgrades in Feisty?
[01:04] <spread> What's a good reasonably cheap gigabit ethernet card for 6.10?
[01:04] <Redimere> any of the above really
[01:04] <Polygon89> Redimere, what do you mean?
[01:04] <Nutubuntu> no offense intended, macogw-is-a-girl
[01:04] <mahrellon> teer2: Oh well. Guess I'll have to be happy with the way wow works for me now then. I mean it IS playable altough the fps won't go over 30fps and I have a 7950GT =)
[01:04] <kerneld> mikecool123: load average is kind of a funny number. Basically it is the number of precess that are ready to run. so a load overage of 1 could indicate the system has a full load but it handles more than 1 with easy
[01:04] <cycom> Ok, so I got the darn mouse working with evdev, but now all of the sudden my laptop keyboard does strange things.    Buttons like pgup and pgdown are doing other things.  How can I run evdev for my mighty mouse and have my keyboard, you know, work?
[01:04] <macogw-is-a-girl> Nutubuntu: now if they were speaking japanese....
[01:04] <Redimere> I mean, I can't get fglrx to get rid of this message: Xlib:  extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0".
[01:04] <Polygon89> Redimere, i have a ati card, and use the fglrx drivers, and every time the kernel updates a updated version of fglrx comes through the reps...
[01:04] <nixternal> Maruzzella: if you continue on, you will be removed from this channel. Thanks!
[01:05] <macogw-is-a-girl> Redimere: does your xorg.conf list dri in the module section?
[01:05] <Redimere> Yus
[01:05] <Maruzzella> ma ba iecca sangue teisti i minkia
[01:05] <nixternal> bye
[01:05] <Redimere> nixternal: thanks!
[01:05] <cycom> my touchpad is all over the place as well

[01:05] <nill> kerneld: hm, ogle was not able to play the dvd neither
[01:06] <macogw-is-a-girl> nixternal: the *!* part of that plus the word kick makes me imagine you going all Power Rangers on 'em
[01:06] <nill> kerneld: do i need a restart of x perhaps
[01:06] <mikecool123> kerneld, so is there a comand that you can issue to say the cpu is wroking at say 10% or 100%
[01:06] <frank_> hey :)
[01:06] <mikecool123> kerneld, thanks for your answer though by the way
[01:06] <kerneld> mikecool123: at my uni - the solaris system had load averages of 60 to 70. it was an 8 proc system - so a load average of 8 would be ideal
[01:06] <Redimere> I've been trying to find the Restricted Drivers UI thing, but I can't find the link to it.
[01:06] <teer2> Polygon89: dump proprietary hardware.
[01:06] <revilodraw> macogw-is-a-girl: u r talking abour xorg..i need help with xorg
[01:06] <kerneld> mikecool123: top is better for that
[01:06] <frank_> i need help getting my bluetooth to work :)
[01:06] <miniju> hi
[01:06] <macogw-is-a-girl> revilodraw: whats wrong with xorg?
[01:06] <Polygon89> teer2, if intel makes a video card that can actually compete with ATI/Nvidia hardware, as i play videogames, then maybe
[01:06] <kerneld> nill: Hmm not sure.  was it a sound problem? Maybe something is locking the sound device
[01:07] <skcubrats> /jump #apache
[01:07] <frank_> the main problem is the missing bluetooth icon in my upper gnome bar. How can i add it? :)
[01:07] <macogw-is-a-girl> revilodraw: are you the one that said "xorg.conf isnt there"?
[01:07] <macogw-is-a-girl> revilodraw: if so, "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" should generate it
[01:07] <f4rbr0r^KaLL3> is there a way to make mouse faster (without that stupid acceleration thing)?
[01:07] <nill> kerneld: well with mplayer i can't see it at all, in xine-totem, i can't get any sound at all
[01:07] <miniju> i'm having issues with my wifi card, a RTL8180L... from time to time it just "hangs" and drop packets for 4-5 seconds then starts working again
[01:07] <nill> esd is not running
[01:07] <revilodraw> macogw-is-a-girl: yes, xorg is empty.. ok ill try that
[01:07] <miniju> lspci: 02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8180L 802.11b MAC (rev 20)
[01:07] <teer2> Polygon89: The GM964 is pretty good.  You might need to sacrifice something in the name of your own freedom, but you'll be better off in the longrun.
[01:07] <miniju> this is a Thinkpad T40
[01:08] <miniju> tia
[01:08] <Polygon89> teer2, is that a pci/AGP card?
[01:08] <kerneld> mikecool123: also if you have the perfomance monitor applet on you panel in gnome you can double click it and it brings up a task list, and a cpu monitor graph so you can see what is using cpu.  top is more light weight though
[01:09] <Nutubuntu> I have an audacity question: How can I get sound to work in audacity? It doesn't seem to want to play mp3 files. Is there a well-known issue and/or fix?
[01:09] <kerneld> nill: with totem, try:  aoss totem
[01:09] <mikecool123> kerneld, thanks, thats kinda what sparked me to come on as on the cpu histroy my proccesor usage was like at 20%
[01:09] <revilodraw> macogw-is-a-girl; which driver do i choose? vesa? i have done this before but it didnt help..pls dont give up on me yet though
[01:09] <mikecool123> and i was just pretty much doing nothing
[01:09] <macogw-is-a-girl> miniju: do you know which card it is?
[01:09] <macogw-is-a-girl> revilodraw: depends. what video card do you have?
[01:09] <Polygon89> Nutubuntu, you might have to install lame..
[01:10] <mikecool123> but i guess that is showing something else
[01:10] <donnaclarke> help.  i am running a live cd of feisty in my desktop.  it doesn't want to connect when i start firefox.  have a usb connection running from a motorola surfboard which i have connected to this laptop sisde by side right now.  is there a problem using the usb?  should i hook the desktop to an ethernet cord?  should that make a difference?
[01:10] <Nutubuntu> Polygon89, I have installed it and told audacity where to find the library but still no luck
[01:10] <kerneld> nill: if that works for you, you need to make sure totem is set to use alsa instead of oss.
[01:10] <macogw-is-a-girl> revilodraw: the driver you need is tl818x
[01:11] <miniju> macogw-is-a-girl: i don't actually know what the card is, it's internal
[01:11] <miniju> and thinkwiki.org doesn't seem to mention it
[01:11] <miniju> it's weird
[01:11] <nill> kerneld: ah ye, i want alsa for it ... but i couldn't find it in preferences
[01:11] <macogw-is-a-girl> revilodraw: but if you dont know which card it is, i cant tell you how well it's supported.  look at http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_chipset.php?chipset=Realtek and see if you recognize it
[01:11] <mikecool123> kerneld, thanks for your help
[01:11] <macogw-is-a-girl> miniju: do "lspci" and see what it says
[01:11] <miniju> macogw-is-a-girl: i pasted lspci above
[01:11] <mikecool123> kerneld, kinda made me understand it a bit better
[01:11] <Polygon89> Nutubuntu, hmm whats the error its giving you? cant find the lame library?

[01:12] <f4rbr0r^KaLL3> is there a way to add mouse sensitivity (without that stupid acceleration thing)?
[01:12] <kerneld> nill: try gstreamer-properties
[01:12] <miniju> macogw-is-a-girl: about what?
[01:12] <macogw-is-a-girl> revilodraw, miniju, sorry i mixed those messages up
[01:12] <nill> kerneld: okay
[01:12] <adamonline45> If I want to download an .iso, does bittorrent have error checking? Like, will I be more likely to get a clean download than using http?
[01:12] <teer2> Polygon89: I think that is a no, as of today.
[01:12] <macogw-is-a-girl> miniju: http://linux-wless.passys.nl/query_chipset.php?chipset=Realtek recognize it on there maybe?
[01:12] <macogw-is-a-girl> revilodraw: ignore that message about wifi
[01:12] <Nutubuntu> Polygon89,  when I load an mp3 and click the play button audacity errors: "Error opening sound device. Please check the output settings and the project sample rate."
[01:12] <Bassetts> is there a terminal tool that will tell me the cpu temp and fan speeds?
[01:13] <teer2> Polygon89: http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/gma3000/gma3000.pdf
[01:14] <Polygon89> Nutubuntu, maybe try running "aoss audacity" that works for me when audacity complains about random stuff
[01:14] <donnaclarke> help. i am running a live cd of feisty in my desktop. it doesn't want to connect when i start firefox. have a usb connection running from a motorola surfboard which i have connected to this laptop sisde by side right now. is there a problem using the usb? should i hook the desktop to an ethernet cord? should that make a difference?  is there some configuration process that i have to do?  my...
[01:14] <miniju> macogw-is-a-girl: hmm... i guess i could open up the laptop, but otherwise i really can't tell... all i have right now is lspci...
[01:14] <macogw-is-a-girl> miniju: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/RTL8180L try this
[01:14] <donnaclarke> ...friends ubuntu worked live right 'out of the box' and connects right up to internet...
[01:14] <Redimere> Is there a command that can tell you what version of ubuntu or xubuntu you are running? I upgraded from 6.06 to fiesty, and I think I'm getting bits of both
[01:14] <miniju> macogw-is-a-girl: looking
[01:14] <BrendanM> Is there a way to install the Ubuntu LAMP package from within an existing desktop Ubuntu installation?
[01:14] <macogw-is-a-girl> donnaclarke: probably had an intel wireless card on your friend's laptop
[01:14] <BrendanM> or can it only be done from the server install CD?
[01:14] <revilodraw> macogw-is-a-girl: lspci for me?
[01:14] <Polygon89> teer2, hmm.... integrated chipsets are not good for gaming lolol
[01:14] <Nutubuntu> Polygon89,  will try it, thanks :)
[01:14] <OneSeventeen> gdesklets won't start, any tips on how to troubleshoot?
[01:15] <miniju> macogw-is-a-girl: that's to install a proprietary driver ... no?
[01:15] <macogw-is-a-girl> donnaclarke: most cards dont have open source drivers, so you need ndiswrapper for those.  a large chunk have drivers, but the companies dont allow ubuntu to ship the firmware.
[01:15] <Polygon89> OneSeventeen, run it from terminal and see if you get any errors
[01:15] <macogw-is-a-girl> revilodraw: yes, lspci
[01:15] <donnaclarke> macogw-is-a-girl:  no, wired connection...
[01:15] <LDZ420> BrendanM: use apt-get php,apache,mysql
[01:15] <Bassetts> is there a terminal tool that will tell me the cpu temp and fan speeds?
[01:15] <macogw-is-a-girl> miniju: thats to use the windows driver with ndiswrapper
[01:15] <miniju> macogw-is-a-girl: and those guys seem to be saying the card works fine...
[01:15] <miniju> macogw-is-a-girl: yeah, that's what i meant :)
[01:16] <LDZ420> BrendanM: should also be able to use synaptic
[01:16] <macogw-is-a-girl> donnaclarke: oh sorry it scrolled too fast :p try an ethernet connection
[01:16] <Typwn> Hello
[01:16] <miniju> the problem is really strange, it might not be related to wifi.. i guess i'll try the regular network card before investigating further
[01:16] <apocalypticunion> is there a way i can have multiple wallpapers on my different workspaces?
[01:16] <kerneld> Bassetts: lm-sensors
[01:16] <nill> kerneld: hm, that `aoss totem` sort of wrecked totem
[01:16] <OneSeventeen> Polygon89: good idea, it just gives me a python warning, no full on errors.
[01:16] <Typwn> I accidently installed the 64-bit version and I'm stuck with it.  My understanding was that the Ubuntu LAMP install also did some configuration work for you. I guess I'll just do that myself, then?
[01:16] <nill> kerneld: my gstreamer is set to alsa
[01:16] <macogw-is-a-girl> miniju: well it worked on 6.10, but there have been some issues on 7.04, so if its not working, try ndiswrapper.  there's also the fact that (good) encryption with the open driver doesnt work
[01:17] <gdb> Typwn: right click the icon of the iso and select Burn to Disc
[01:17] <Haru> can someone help me with this configuration.. there are a number of pcs on a LAN.. where one of the systems has access to internet.. how do i setup a network between the Internet-enabled-system to another system on LAN such that other systems can share the Internet connection
[01:17] <donnaclarke> macogw-is-a-girl: will it matter if i keep the laptop hooked up to the usb simultaneously?
[01:17] <Typwn> gdb: .....it's that simple?
[01:17] <macogw-is-a-girl> donnaclarke: *shrug*
[01:17] <OneSeventeen> where do applications reside in ubuntu?
[01:17] <miniju> macogw-is-a-girl: right... ok... the issues would be kernel related or userspace related?
[01:17] <kerneld> nill: It shouldn't have. heh.  Make sure you have no running totem or mplayer process
[01:17] <gdb> Typwn: yes
[01:17] <Nutubuntu> Polygon89,  your suggestion works!  Thanks lol
[01:17] <Polygon89> Nutubuntu, your welcome :D
[01:17] <gdb> Typwn: no worries :-)

[01:18] <miniju> macogw-is-a-girl: my point is: if it's the kernel of 7.04, i can try upgrading the kernel or compiling a new one
[01:18] <revilodraw> macogw-is-a-girl: i can now no longer access a command line
[01:18] <miniju> i'd rather not use proprietary software
[01:18] <macogw-is-a-girl> revilodraw: why?
[01:18] <Nutubuntu> Polygon89,  do you happen to know how I would enable the "change pitch" and "change speed" effects? All the effects are shown as greyed-out ...

[01:19] <Fezzler> I'm back.  I don't think folks here have knowledge to help me but I think they can answer a few Q that will help me research and solve issue.
[01:19] <macogw-is-a-girl> miniju: uh dude, if your pings work, you're connected
[01:19] <kerneld> nill: in gstreamer-properties did you select the specifc sound output? Maybe it is picking a tv tuner or something you don't expect
[01:19] <Haru> can someone help me with this configuration.. there are a number of pcs on a LAN.. where one of the systems has access to internet.. how do i setup a network between the Internet-enabled-system to another system on LAN such that other systems can share the Internet connection

[01:19] <miniju> macogw-is-a-girl: i *know* ping works
[01:19] <NinaRoja> i get logged in with home=/
[01:19] <Ominous> how do you make every file in a dir executable
[01:19] <nill> kerneld: hm, i think perhaps a good old apt-get remove & install might help here
[01:19] <Fezzler> My Ubuntu Fiesty keeps freezing up after login.
[01:19] <miniju> macogw-is-a-girl: i said that i have packet loss,
[01:19] <miniju> .
[01:19] <nill> kerneld: yes, and that is alsa
[01:19] <macogw-is-a-girl> revilodraw: ctrl alt f1-6 all are virtual terminals
[01:20] <Polygon89> Nutubuntu, sorry i dont know much about audacity..
[01:20] <erUSUL> Haru: firestarter can do that graphically
[01:20] <erUSUL> !firestarter
[01:20] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[01:20] <macogw-is-a-girl> miniju: what you pasted didnt look like packet loss
[01:20] <kerneld> nill: Prob not...  lsof will hel identify if another proc has a hold out the sound dev
[01:20] <Haru> Ominous: chmod +rwx *.*
[01:20] <Fezzler> I also notice that the time lapse between login and Nautilus and X loading has grown longer.
[01:20] <miniju> macogw-is-a-girl: is this better? 62 packets transmitted, 57 received, 8% packet loss, time 61019ms
[01:20] <nill> kerneld: hm, ah i see what you're saying
[01:20] <havanger_> when i use command "gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg gstreamer0.10-plugins-bad " it gives me a message "bash: gstreamer0.10-ffmpeg: command not found"
[01:20] <miniju> (with apologies to erUSUL :P)
[01:20] <macogw-is-a-girl> miniju: i see
[01:20] <revilodraw> macogw-is-a-girl; ok i have got one lol.. lspci..." says a lot of stuff..what do u want me to tell u about it?"

[01:20] <Nutubuntu> Polygon89,  thanks anyhow. You've gotten me past the first hurdle :)
[01:20] <macogw-is-a-girl> miniju: its multi-line pasting that is disliked
[01:20] <Nutubuntu> Be well, all :)
[01:20] <miniju> macogw-is-a-girl: i pasted the two packets in between which there was packet loss
[01:21] <macogw-is-a-girl> revilodraw: which graphics card does it list
[01:21] <miniju> macogw-is-a-girl: i know :) i'm not used to really busy channels like this one, i thought one line was ok
[01:21] <Fezzler> The freezing seems to occur after I use "Places." Q1.  Is "Place" essential what is called "X"?  Is it "X" that is freezing/crashing?
[01:21] <natbet> how do I uninstall something that I did ./configure, make, make install to install, then deleted the directory where I installed it from

[01:21] <Radio> how can i make my windows transparent?
[01:21] <Haru> natbet: make uninstall

[02:13] <donnaclarke> Spec:  you mean type  that into the terminal and send you what it types back to me?
[02:13] <PMantis> poningru: Ohhhhhhhh yeah..... thanks!
[02:13] <Spec> donnaclarke: i do indeed
[02:13] <Kprofthreat> Kavon98: You either need to compile an openal lib or run sudo -s first before that command
[02:14] <Spec> donnaclarke: do *not* paste it in this channel....pastebin or pm only
[02:14] <bruenig> ctothej, firewall is the only thing and even that I have never paid attention to

[02:14] <Kprofthreat> Kavon89: You either need to compile an openal lib or run sudo -s first before that command

[02:14] <donnaclarke> Spec: how do i pastebin?
[02:14] <Kprofthreat> Intel
[02:14] <Cuisinart> yeah
[02:14] <Kprofthreat> www.pastebin.ca
[02:14] <Spec> !pastebin
[02:14] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[02:14] <macogw> Cuisinart: intel wireless should always work
[02:14] <ctothej> bruenig: cool thanks
[02:14] <Cuisinart> Ok
[02:14] <mavsman4457> I am trying to get the mdeibuntu repositories and when i do the last command, "sudo apt-key add - && sudo apt-get update", it just hangs
[02:14] <bruenig> Cuisinart, last ipw driver ought is ipw3945 I believe, you need to use ndiswrapper.
[02:14] <Spec> of course the "!pastebin" has to be four lines of flood. :p
[02:14] <mavsman4457> medibuntu
[02:14] <Cuisinart> It only shows my modem though
[02:14] <Cuisinart> ok
[02:14] <bruenig> out*
[02:14] <Cuisinart> does ndiswrapper work for wired as well?
[02:15] <prophet> Spec: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/29171/
[02:15] <Spec> probably
[02:15] <bruenig> Cuisinart, your wired connection should work without it
[02:15] <gilster> Spec: thanks for point that out, that somehow escaped me.
[02:15] <Kprofthreat> Probably, but you shouldn't need to run ndiswrapper
[02:15] <Cuisinart> Ok
[02:15] <Kprofthreat> W/ your wired
[02:15] <poningru> Cuisinart: no which one do you have?
[02:15] <Cuisinart> just a sec
[02:15] <gilster> and yes i did do google on it.
[02:15] <Spec> prophet: so what's not working exactly?
[02:15] <Kavon89> Kproofthreat: It still gives me " echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss "
[02:15] <Kavon89> woops
[02:15] <Cuisinart> Honestly, I am not quite sure
[02:15] <gilster> Spec: i cant find what i am looking for
[02:15] <bobsomebody> die hard 3 rules, u must go see it. Actually had a couple real linux machines in it
[02:16] <macogw> Kprofthreat: TEW-424UB should be perfectly supported
[02:16] <Cuisinart> It is an intel integrated
[02:16] <bruenig> I don't know of any wired connections that require drivers, or any special non kernel stuff
[02:16] <Kavon89> Kproofthreat: It gives me " bash: /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss: Permission denied
[02:16] <Kavon89>  "
[02:16] <Spec> Kavon89: sudo in front
[02:16] <macogw> Kavon89: sudo
[02:16] <Spec> macogw: win :)
[02:16] <poningru> Cuisinart: do a lspci -vv
[02:16] <poningru> and see if you can find it
[02:16] <Cuisinart> ok
[02:16] <prophet> Spec: eth1 does not show up under administration->network devices, and I cannot make any wireless connections if eth2 is not connected
[02:16] <donnaclarke> Spec: how will i transfer the output from the desktop to you?  the desktop has no connection.  will i just type it to a private msg to yu?
[02:16] <Spec> prophet: can you associate with an access point with eth1? ie: iwconfig eth1 essid belkin && iwconfig eth1 rate 11M
[02:17] <Kavon89> ok
[02:17] <Spec> prophet: then please repaste: iwconfig and ifconfig in the same patsebin
[02:17] <Kprofthreat> macogw: I know. I used that before.
[02:17] <gilster> I am looking for a non-command line tool for splitting a large wave file into tracks using a premade cue file
[02:17] <PMantis> One other question: I have an external Hans-G LCD monitor for my laptop. With 6.10 (and 7.04 after dist-upgrade) it would correctly boot to 1280x1024 resolution. Now, it boots to 640x480 with the external monitor. how can I force it to use the correct resolution?
[02:17] <macogw> Kprofthreat: oh i thought maybe the reason you suggested 423 was because you thought only certain TEW's worked
[02:17] <Kavon89> It still says Permission Denied... It doesn't even give me a chance to enter the password.
[02:17] <PMantis> Forgot to state: "Now" is after a fresh 7.04 install
[02:18] <macogw> Kavon89: put sudo before it. then itll ask for password
[02:18] <Cuisinart> Well, I found my ethernet adapter, but it still is not showing up in networking
[02:18] <Spec> donnaclarke: oi
[02:18] <donnaclarke> Spec: says command not found
[02:18] <Kprofthreat> macogw: Nah, I just use an internal 423 currently.
[02:18] <Spec> donnaclarke: sudo ifconfig
[02:18] <macogw> Kprofthreat: ah gotcha
[02:18] <Kprofthreat> macogw: But the UB ones work too.
[02:18] <Spec> donnaclarke: what's it say?
[02:18] <Kprofthreat> =]
[02:18] <Cuisinart> It says marvell tech blah blah: unknown device
[02:18] <donnaclarke> Spec: ok i try again
[02:18] <Kavon89> I entered this: " sudo echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss " and It says the same Permission Denied.
[02:19] <gilster> spec:I am looking for a non-command line tool for splitting a large wave file into tracks using a premade cue file

[02:19] <Spec> gilster: can't help you
[02:19] <Spec> :p
[02:19] <Spec> Kavon89: yeah
[02:19] <Spec> Kavon89: makes sense
[02:19] <Spec> Kavon89: try this: sudo su -
[02:19] <Spec> Kavon89: then do the echo command
[02:19] <Kavon89> ok
[02:19] <macogw> Kprofthreat: i put a post on my blog that's a "what to buy" for wireless. tew-424ub for usb (with link to buy it) and ipw3945 mini pci and mini pci-e versions with links to buy so anyone wanting to add wireless with usb or change their internal wireless card on a laptop to one that works can get them
[02:19] <Spec> Kavon89: the problem is you're redirecting the root-level'd echo command with user-level I/O redirection
[02:19] <donnaclarke> Spec: omg, it says alot...
[02:20] <Spec> donnaclarke: yes it does
[02:20] <Cuisinart> ..
[02:20] <Spec> donnaclarke: give me the first line, ignore the whole 'lo' stanza
[02:20] <Spec> donnaclarke: give me every line that looks like the line that says 'lo', except not 'lo' :p
[02:20] <Kavon89> " sudo su echo "et.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss " Still permission denied, no chance for me to enter pw
[02:20] <gilster> does anyone know if there is a GUI for using cuetools?
[02:21] <jkljlk> Kavon89 split up su after sudo and press enter
[02:21] <EADG> gilster: try apt-cache search <search term> in a terminal.
[02:21] <Kavon89> ah, i did "sudo su" then the echo stuff, workd

[02:22] <dredhammer> how do i get the real media player to play actual real media files? it keeps telling me  i need the realplayer codecs
[02:22] <dredhammer> i even tried the helix player
[02:22] <Kavon89> yay it works. thanks :D
[02:22] <dredhammer> it gives the same error
[02:22] <gilster> i have tried audacity for breaking tracks  but it does not seem to accept these cue files
[02:23] <jkljlk> phpwner man iptables
[02:23] <Kavon89> How do I delete a folder or thing from the Applications menu?

[02:23] <rockets> Anybody know any apps that do what soundkonverter does, but are NOT soundkonverter
[02:24] <dredhammer> i did it was from the repos

[02:24] <Kavon89> I have an Other -> enemy-territory in the Applications drop down, rightclick on the Other folder does nothing, on enemy-territory launcher it doesn't have an option to delete.
[02:24] <CppIsWeird> can anyone give me some direction. I have a sound issue. When i first boot, i have sound, but sometime afterwards sound dies for no reason that i can determine. in the research i've done there are apparently a lot of problems with ubuntu and my Intel Corporation 82801G sound card. I see many instructions that run in every direction on how to get my sound to work. But in any of the described symptoms, sound either works, or doesnt, or has
[02:24] <CppIsWeird> issues with headphones. Not like what problem i've described.
[02:25] <donnaclarke> can you open a channel to me, maybe i did it wrong
[02:25] <jkljlk> Kavon89 try things such right click
[02:25] <jkljlk> (in menu)
[02:25] <donnaclarke> Spec: can you open a channel to me?  maybe i did it wrong... says PM closed to unregistered users
[02:25] <gilster> Spec: I am not sure if the :p was meant to indicate that you cant help me or dont want to help me?
[02:25] <Kavon89> ah, i got it, right click the Applications thing

[02:36] <blackace11> rolfen: i have xp vista and ubuntu on my laptop... i spend 99% on ubuntu cause it's better
[02:36] <rolfen> dr_willis: yup. Still it would be good if they could implement some sort of binary diff system
[02:36] <rolfen> blackace11: yeah ubuntu is good
[02:36] <rolfen> but you need to spend lots of time configuring it after the 1st install
[02:36] <Little`Bubble> i'm agree with you rolfen !
[02:36] <dr_willis> rolfen,  interesting idea.. but ive never seen any other OS do that either.. not many games do that either..
[02:36] <blackace11> rolfen: have u set up your ubuntu with compiz fusion?

[02:37] <ben_> is there a way to copy/paste into terminal?
[02:37] <blackace11> then i switched to compiz fusion
[02:37] <dr_willis> of course ive not seen that many Ubuntu updates over the last week or so.. Perhaps 3 or so a day.
[02:37] <dr_willis> wonder if theres a log/history site somewhere.

[02:38] <the_consul> Can anyone tell me the syntax for issuing a command via crontab that will open a windowed application?  0 0 * * * deluge doesn't work...I'm thinking there's a special syntax for opening windowed applications via cron...
[02:38] <EADG> ben_: in X yes... just c/p as you would normally. From X to cli, no.
[02:38] <member22> darn CUPS new version of dapper is bugged :( and i cant find a fix..
[02:38] <dr_willis> the_consul,  opening up a 'X program with gui, from crontab' is going to be rather hard. for security reasons
[02:38] <blackace11> can someone help me with my openoffice program it wont open!!!
[02:38] <fuzzypig> ben_: Instead of ctrl-v and ctrl-c, use ctrl-shift-v and ctrl-shift c
[02:38] <blackace11> PLEASE
[02:39] <ieee802> hi can someone help me
[02:39] <dr_willis> the_consul,  if they are gettting ran by the same user that has X going.. that makes it a little easier.
[02:39] <ieee802> i started using ubuntu
[02:39] <ieee802> now and having some problems
[02:39] <Rienzilla> it's possible to loosen those restrictions with xhost
[02:39] <ieee802> can i ask?
[02:39] <poningru> ieee802: yes
[02:39] <dr_willis> the_consul,  in that case you would need to export the DISPLAY variable.
[02:39] <blackace11> ieee802: tell us your problem then if we know it we will help
[02:39] <Rei-chan> Don't ask to ask, just ask, ieee802  :)
[02:39] <the_consul> dr_willis: really...I'm using sudo crontab -e to add the line in my crontab file...
[02:39] <bruenig> the_consul, first, cron doesn't inherit environment variables, including PATH, so either specify that in crontab or use full paths, /usr/bin/deluge, along the same line you need to give it the DISPLAY variable, DISPLAY=:0, DISPLAY=:0 /usr/bin/deluge
[02:39] <ieee802> i have a intel 2200

[02:39] <the_consul> bruenig:  I didn't writ it here but I did have it as /usr/bin/deluge
[02:39] <ieee802> nope
