[05:33] <Asc> Aggort: There are GRUB boot floppies, but you'll never fit everything in the /boot partition into one; they're more for installing GRUB and doing recoveries.
[05:33] <magic_ninja> Linux_Galore: open a terminal and do alsamixer
[05:33] <magic_ninja> Linux_Galore: it varies from system to system but play with that, trust me it should work, if you can't figure it out then try searching the ubuntu forums
[05:34] <Linux_Galore> magic_ninja: done get 1 constrol
[05:34] <deoryp> could someone point me to how to get more than one audio source using my sound card at the same time?
[05:34] <Aggort> Asc: I just want to be able to get into windows and Ubuntu,
[05:34] <Asc> Aggort: A CD is also difficult.  I don't know how it would be done.
[05:34] <Linux_Galore> magic_ninja: it only show "one" control
[05:34] <heapme> magic_ninja what should i name the partition though? /backups ?
[05:34] <xtknight> deoryp: what do you mean by 'getting more than one audio source'?
[05:34] <magic_ninja> hmm...usb sound card is a kinda dumb idea if ya ask me, but any who try searching ubuntu forums, never had a usb sound card so i can't help ya too much
[05:34] <deoryp> xtknight: xmms and something else, like mplayer in firefox
[05:34] <Linux_Galore> magic_ninja: ive dont all the alsamixer stuff already
[05:35] <Linux_Galore> done*
[05:35] <magic_ninja> Linux_Galore: ask in #creative, just idle there and be patient, i bet someone will get ya
[05:35] <xtknight> deoryp: oh, you mean if you play sometihng in xmms, mplayer will not play sound?
[05:35] <Asc> Aggort: If your HD is damaged in some way that prevents it from booting without external help, that's going to be tricky no matter what.
[05:35] <imbecile> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/615/     http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/616/
[05:35] <imbecile> bruenig, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/615/     http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/616/
[05:35] <deoryp> xtknight right, and if mplayer is playing and xmms starts it says it can;'t because the sound card is inuse
[05:36] <xtknight> deoryp: that's odd.  i am sure alsa supports multiple sounds at once but maybe it's your driver
[05:36] <magic_ninja> heapme: it doesnt matter what you name it, just something you can remember
[05:36] <magic_ninja> heapme: there should NOT be a "/" in the filename though, the / represents a mount point
[05:36] <Asc> deoryp: Does your mplayer have alsa compiled in?  Use 'mplayer -vo help' to see.
[05:36] <Aggort> Asc: yea it said the CD would be icompatible
[05:36] <xtknight> mplayer -ao help i think
[05:36] <Asc> yeah, that one
[05:37] <Aggort> Asc: Well this sucks because even if I did get grub to boot it wou;dn't get me anywhere, b3ecause I need to boot from the hard drive
[05:37] <bruenig> imbecile, what do you want
[05:37] <bruenig> imbecile, it is all there
[05:37] <heapme> magic_ninja really? does that mean when i put /home on its own dir i shouldnt use / in the name too then?
[05:37] <heapme> er /home in its own partition i meant
[05:37] <Asc> Aggort:Have you been thinking about getting a new drive at all?
[05:37] <witless> should i install stunnel or stunnel4 ?
[05:37] <bruenig> imbecile, oh that was after the command, yeah just do sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list.backup /etc/apt/sources.list
[05:37] <imbecile> bruenig,  so it should work? i got some errors of duplicates
[05:37] <bruenig> imbecile, then sudo apt-get update
[05:38] <multimusen> hi
[05:38] <bruenig> you should have all your repos
[05:38] <imbecile> bruenig,  thanks alot man
[05:38] <deoryp> Asc mplayer was just an example, i really want to use glGo and xmms at the same time
[05:38] <xtknight> multimusen: hey
[05:38] <Natoraf> I have a 40 GB mp3 player, how could i install ubuntu on it
[05:38] <Aggort> Asc: I am poor as shit
[05:39] <Asc> deoryp: If you've selected the ALSA plugin of xmms, you should try to find out if glGo has one as well,
[05:39] <multimusen> i cannot install ubuntu on my athlon amd64 pc with a msi motherboard... :-/
[05:39] <Aggort> Asc: Explain again why I couldn't use a floppy to boot Grub
[05:39] <nikin> Natoraf: what mp3 player? ipod?
[05:39] <MTecknology> !!! I'm getting this error when I log on... 'User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored...' And xgl quit working.
[05:39] <xtknight> i use a floppy to boot up grub...
[05:39] <wheels3572> what's the command to tell me what version of Ubuntu im running?
[05:39] <xtknight> it's the only way i can get xp/vista/linux tri-boot without going thru tons of trouble
[05:39] <bruenig> Natoraf, hmmm, there is ipod linux, if you were looking to put ubuntu on it, you are probably out of luck, you would have to cut it up so much that it would really cease to be ubuntu
[05:39] <xtknight> wheels3572: lsb_release
[05:39] <xtknight> wheels3572: sorry,  lsb_release -a    actually
[05:39] <Cholito> no luck =(
[05:39] <wheels3572> ok
[05:40] <Asc> Aggort: You might be able to.  But I don't know if it would be any better at starting Ubuntu than a copy installed on your drive
[05:40] <nikin> Cholito: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-249474.html
[05:40] <Natoraf> its from gigabeat
[05:40] <Natoraf> made by toshiba
[05:40] <Ice_Wewe> nolimitsoya: what about blanking?
[05:40] <Aggort> Asc: Why though, if I would be booting from the hard drive?\
[05:40] <wheels3572> xtknight, tyvm
[05:40] <xtknight> wheels3572: no problem
[05:40] <fleischwurst> where can i find the internet explorer in ubuntu?
[05:40] <Aggort> Asc: and wouldn't a USB be awfully small for Windows
[05:40] <Aggort> ?
[05:40] <xtknight> fleischwurst: there is no internet explorer for the Linux operating system
[05:40] <Ice_Wewe> fleischwurst: ummm, in Microsoft land?
[05:41] <fleischwurst> ?
[05:41] <Natoraf> use firefox
[05:41] <wheels3572> fleischwurst, you wont find it.  It uses Firefox
[05:41] <multimusen> fleischwurst >> you cant. But perhaps by wine
[05:41] <fleischwurst> lol? no internet explorer?
[05:41] <nikin> Natroaf: then no idea.. sorry :(
[05:41] <fleischwurst> o0
[05:41] <Ice_Wewe> fleischwurst: yeah, no kidding
[05:41] <xtknight> fleischwurst: you would have to run it under a virtual machine or emulator.  if you want a `web browser` (wink wink), then use Firefox
[05:41] <fleischwurst> internet without internet explorer?
[05:41] <Ice_Wewe> fleischwurst: linux doesn't have MSFT cr*p in it
[05:41] <fleischwurst> haha
[05:41] <fleischwurst> only icq??
[05:41] <nvez> fleischwurst: If you mean the Microsoft Internet Explorer, no, but an internet browser, it has one.
[05:41] <nvez> It's called Firefox.
[05:41] <fleischwurst> lol, just joking :p
[05:41] <deoryp> Asc xmms was not set on the right driver, thanks
[05:41] <Ice_Wewe> fleischwurst: man.... that was a riot
[05:41] <xtknight> hehe
[05:41] <Asc> Aggort: Trying to think.  A floppy is worth a try, but I don't know how to make one that will load windows automagically.
[05:42] <xtknight> well i could see how it would be a question
[05:42] <xtknight> ;P
[05:42] <fleischwurst> mass highlight :D
[05:42] <nvez> fleischwurst: Boo. :P
[05:42] <xtknight> but if u managed to install ubuntu...
[05:42] <Aggort> Asc: Why though, if I would be booting from the hard drive?\
[05:42] <Natoraf> i read there a way to install ubuntu on a flash drive but never on mp3 player
[05:42] <Natoraf> hey i have 40 GB on it
[05:42] <threeonefour> i have downloaded updates for certian packages but now it's saying i have to do them agian whats up
[05:42] <Aggort> Asc: I don;t want it to boot Windows automatically I want to select which one to load
[05:42] <Cholito> nikin: holy cow!!
[05:42] <Asc> Aggort: We don't know what's broken exactly.  It might be the partition table, it might be the MBR.
[05:42] <variant> Natoraf: it's just another storage medium.. you can use it as the root disk if your bios supports booting from usb
[05:42] <multimusen> How cant I install ubuntu on a amd64 dualcore pc (Athlon, 1 gb ram, MSI motherboard)
[05:42] <nikin> NAtroaf: if yopur mp3 player acts like a pendrive.. the it must be the same stuff
[05:43] <wheels3572> xtknight what's the command I would use to find a program im looking for if I dont know the exact spelling of it?
[05:43] <nikin> Cholito :D:D:D:D
[05:43] <zammit> hi, I have no sound anymore, it just decided to stop working, does anybody have any thoughts, please?
[05:43] <xtknight> wheels3572: find one that is installed?  hm like what?
[05:43] <wheels3572> xtknight, to be exact to answer your question im looking for vmware
[05:43] <Aggort> Asc: I still think it is the MBR since it wants me to boot from CD so badly.
[05:43] <wheels3572> xtknight, read this url please http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/609/
[05:43] <multimusen> i have used ubuntu for two years now - but it wont run on my new pc
[05:44] <nolimitsoya> what is the most efficient floss h.264 decoder at present?
[05:44] <xtknight> wheels3572: well it looks like you found vmware but are having trouble starting it?
[05:44] <Asc> Aggort: You can use the grub-floppy command to make a floppy with GRUB on it.  After that, I've only ever started by entering the commands manually (.e.g. 'root (hd0,0); kernel /boot/whatever'), but once you set the root you should be able to load a config file on the root drive.
[05:44] <xtknight> wheels3572: what command led you to that error message?
[05:44] <wheels3572> xtknight, I went to install vmware workstation on my pc
[05:44] <imbecile> there something else i need to install to get universe repo working?
[05:44] <Aggort> Asc: I wish I knew how in that case
[05:44] <Asc> Aggort: It might also be possible to install your current grub configuration on a floppy, or put the config file on the floppy, but I don't know how.
[05:45] <xtknight> just copy the first 440 bytes of a hard disk to a floppy
[05:45] <xtknight> that's what i did
[05:45] <xtknight> to copy my boot loader before i installed vista
[05:45] <Aggort> Asc: Damn\
[05:45] <xtknight> wheels3572: and how are you attempting to do that?
[05:45] <xtknight> wheels3572: what led you to the error message you pasted me?
[05:45] <Asc> Aggort: I've only ever used GRUB floppies as a kludge to boot DSL a few times.,
[05:45] <Natoraf> yeah bios support it but i am afraid I will lose comparability to listen to mp3 player \
[05:46] <Cholito> nikin: dpkg: serious warning: files list file for package `cdrecord' missing, assuming package has no files currently installed.
[05:46] <nikin> Cholito: cant you reintsall cdrecord now?
[05:46] <wheels3572> xtknight, I was following isntructions from the vmware PDF file and extracted that file file and then I did ./vmware-install.pl
[05:46] <Aggort> Asc: Even if I got into grub to select an OS I wouldn't know how
[05:46] <Cholito> and: failed in buffer_read(fd): files list for package `libecore1-dbus': Invalid argument
[05:46] <Cholito> nikin: no
[05:46] <xtknight> wheels3572: ahh okay.
[05:46] <xtknight> wheels3572: well, do you have vmware installed already?  like vmware player or vmware server?
[05:46] <Asc> Aggort: You'd use the same sequence of commands that's in /boot/grub/*lst
[05:47] <wheels3572> xtknight, that's my problem I dont think I do.  I need to find a command that might tell me if it's installed lol.
[05:47] <Asc> Aggort: Well, in that file on a system where you're booting from the drive anyway.
[05:47] <Cholito> crap!!!!!
[05:47] <multimusen> SUsE works fine for me - but I prefer Ubuntu - so which ISO should I use for an Athlon AMD64 dualcore with a MSI-V motherboard?
[05:47] <xtknight> wheels3572: type 'aptitude search vmware'  this will tell you about all packages named vmware.  and on the left, and i means that it is currently installed.  if it's anything but an 'i' then it is NOT installed
[05:48] <Jazon> how can i install macromedia flash player on powerpc with edgy?
[05:48] <Aggort> Asc: I've never quite dealt with that before
[05:48] <nikin> Cholito: so everything is the same.. just the message changed?
[05:48] <Cholito> kind of, wait
[05:48] <imbecile> is there something else i need to install to get universe repo working?
[05:48] <jrib> Jazon: you can't
[05:48] <Aggort> Asc: I'm definitely a noob to linux though I sued it in high school a year ago. But of course we had two ahrd drives and everything worked fine lol
[05:48] <xtknight> wheels3572: you can also just use synaptic.  or check Applications->System Tools in vmware's case to check if there are any shortcuts for vmware in that menu
[05:48] <EnsignRedshirt> imbecile: What have you done so far?
[05:49] <Jazon> jrib oh oh.  so any web site for my kids that utilizes it is a no go then?
[05:49] <xtknight> imbecile: 'sudo apt-get update'   after you have added universe
[05:49] <Cholito> nikin: http://pastebin.cholito.org/pastebin.php?show=38
[05:49] <variant> Jazon: under a virtual machine
[05:49] <Asc> Aggort: You're looking at what might be an impossibly steep learning curve if you want to try and get this working.  I'm not dead certain I'd be able to.
[05:49] <variant> Jazon: try gnash, free flash player
[05:49] <Jazon> variant: what do you mean (sorry)
[05:49] <xtknight> Aggort,Asc what are you guys trying to do? ;)
[05:49] <Aggort> Asc: lovely
[05:49] <wheels3572> xtknight, ok it shows vmplayer
[05:49] <variant> Jazon: nevermind the vm. gnash is best for you.. dunno what state its in though
[05:50] <xtknight> wheels3572: well did you do vmware-install?  after vmware-install you do ' sudo vmware-config.pl '
[05:50] <Aggort> What about Asc?
[05:50] <Aggort> Asc: lol copied and apasted wrong thing
[05:50] <Asc> xtknight: Trying to boot a drive that can't boot from its' own MBR
[05:50] <Aggort> Asc: What about GAG
[05:50] <multimusen> well - it seems that noone knows what to do here ... if ubuntu cannot run on a an Athlon AMD64 dualcore with a MSI-V motherboard - then I have to use another distribution :(
[05:50] <Asc> GAG?
[05:50] <Aggort> xtkinght: I can't get Grub to load I get error 17
[05:51] <wheels3572> I dont know.  I dont recall having that lol but I must have.  What I wanan do now is just remove it period anyway
[05:51] <zebsc> i hate to ask if a lot of others already have, but are there problems with the apt respository going incredibly slow?
[05:51] <imbecile> EnsignRedshirt, xtknight  I am trying to add them in software properties and everytime i check the boxes and close the box they are unchecked
[05:51] <xtknight> Aggort: tried wiping the first 512 bytes of your disk (and backing up all data of course)
[05:51] <Aggort> ?
[05:51] <Aggort> why
[05:51] <heapme> i'm making a separate ext3 partition called 'backups' before i install linux. will the ubuntu installer auto detect it and let me tell it where to mount it (e.g., /home/backups) or do i have to mount it after linux is installed?
[05:51] <xtknight> Aggort:  clears out mbr, might solve some issue
[05:51] <nikin> Cholito: what if you clear your cashe to let the cdrecord file come frome the repo, not your HD?
[05:51] <xtknight> Aggort: but it also wipes your partition table so you will lose data
[05:51] <nikin> cache*
[05:52] <Aggort> xtkinght: I installed from a completely blank ahrd drive
[05:52] <multimusen> even live cd wont run on an Athlon AMD64 dualcore with a MSI-V motherboard
[05:52] <xtknight> Aggort: first 440 bytes is the boot-loading part of it, so just wiping that and reinstalling grub may fix an error
[05:52] <jrib> imbecile: you have duplicate entries, like the error says
[05:52] <EnsignRedshirt> multimusen: You could also try asking in ubuntuforums.org.  There is a section there for 64 bit.
[05:52] <Aggort> I deleted all my partitiions and everything wiped it out and then installed Windows and after that Ubuntu
[05:52] <xtknight> Aggort: this is on a PC right?
[05:52] <imbecile> jrib,  how do i fix that?
[05:52] <multimusen> EnsignRedshirt >> thanx
[05:52] <Aggort> I have a weird error with Wodnows that doesn't allow me to boot unless the isntall CD is in.
[05:52] <jrib> imbecile: remove the duplicate entries
[05:52] <Aggort> xtknight yes
[05:52] <xtknight> deleting all your partitions does not wipe your boot sector
[05:53] <Aggort> It should have
[05:53] <xtknight> nope
[05:53] <xtknight> never should ;)
[05:53] <variant> Aggort: does ubuntu load and you are having trouble booting windows or what?
[05:53] <Aggort> good god
[05:53] <xtknight> just changes the partition table
[05:53] <Cholito> nikin: same, no luck =(
[05:53] <xtknight> the first 440 bytes (boot code) are not touched
[05:53] <multimusen> EnsignRedshirt >> and I will go there... good idea
[05:53] <Aggort> No Grub won;t laod so icanl;t axccess any of the OS's on my hard drive
[05:53] <xtknight> Aggort: so is there any data on the drive now besides OSes?  would you like to start clean?
[05:53] <variant> Aggort: what is displayed as the last thing on your screen when booting?
[05:54] <Aggort> xtkinght: I am not starting clean I already did that once and I don;t feel like going through another XP install today
[05:54] <Aggort> variant
[05:54] <Aggort> variant: http://img489.imageshack.us/img489/3706/img2993sd3.jpg this
[05:54] <jrib> imbecile: they may reside in /etc/apt/sources.list and/or /etc/apt/sources.list.d/
[05:54] <leros> I'm installing java and the license agreement popped up, how do I select "OK"?
[05:54] <xtknight> Aggort: i understand but it may be the only solution.  we can try just wiping your boot sector and leaving your partition table in place.
[05:55] <jrib> leros: arrow keys and enter iirc
[05:55] <variant> Aggort: I thought you got "error 17"
[05:55] <Aggort> variant: yes
[05:55] <Aggort> http://img489.imageshack.us/img489/2420/img2999vb2.jpg
[05:55] <Aggort> there
[05:55] <variant> Aggort: where does it say error 17 then?
[05:55] <Aggort> http://img489.imageshack.us/img489/2420/img2999vb2.jpg
[05:55] <imbecile> jrib,  should i just delete both files?
[05:56] <imbecile> jrib,  im not sure which ones to remove
[05:56] <jrib> imbecile: maybe, depends on what is in them
[05:56] <variant> Aggort: are you booting from a live cd? or did you let it boot from hd?
[05:56] <Aggort> xtknight: wouldn;t delteing my boot secotr ruin my NTFS partition?
[05:56] <xtknight> would have to be a HD, livecd doesnt haev grub
[05:56] <leros> jrib: i've arrowed down to the bottom, but enter does nothing
[05:56] <jrib> leros: space bar?
[05:56] <Aggort> variant: I am on Ubuntu Live
[05:56] <xtknight> Aggort: not if you don't touch the partition table
[05:56] <variant> Aggort: what i mean is, when you get "error 17" it's because you tried to boot the hard disk right?
[05:57] <Cholito> nikin: look at this! http://pastebin.cholito.org/pastebin.php?show=39
[05:57] <zebsc> are the apt repositories having speed problems today?
[05:57] <Aggort> xtknight: then i;d be willing to try it as long as It doenslt ruin anything
[05:57] <Aggort> variant: yes
[05:57] <nikin> Cholito : and you look at this...
[05:57] <Aggort> but
[05:57] <leros> jrib: i've tried that too. the escape key takes me out of it, but it pops up again
[05:57] <variant> Aggort: it should be just a matter of reinstalling grub
[05:57] <xtknight> Aggort: regardless, is there any data that you absolutely cannot have wiped from the ntfs partition?  Any stuff that you need to backup?  Or is it just Windows?  the operation isnt completely reliable.  but it's about as reliable as it can be
[05:57] <jrib> leros: strange
[05:57] <Sir_Penguin> Hi :) I was wondering if someone would be able to help with changing my runlevel so that I can install my drivers, it doens't like the X system being open and I'm not sure how to quit it, even when I'm in Runlevel 2 it still says X is open (I got there by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1)

[05:58] <Sir_Penguin> NVidia 7900GT

[06:00] <xtknight> Aggort: or have you not tried that?
[06:00] <variant> xtknight: reinstalling grub will do that
[06:00] <imbecile> how do i delete my /etc/apt/sources directory?
[06:00] <Aggort> xtknight: I think that is what ikonia made me  do
[06:00] <jrib> imbecile: don't do that

[06:00] <Aggort> ok
[06:00] <Aggort> give me the code to type it in then
[06:00] <nikin> Cholito: nice questionmarks :S
[06:00] <xtknight> just reinstall gurb, if that doesnt work then we'll wipe the boot sector AND reinstall
[06:00] <imbecile> jrib,  what all do i remove then?
[06:00] <xtknight> first lets just try reinstalling grub
[06:00] <jrib> imbecile: pastebin the files you found

[06:02] <variant> Aggort: ok, in that case do "mkdir /mnt/boot/ && mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/boot"
[06:02] <xtknight> actually second command may need a sudo

[06:09] <variant> Aggort: and let me see
[06:09] <wheels3572> xtknight, Can I shoot vmware-player now or later.  I removed it and all the files that go with it and rebooted X and it's STILL says it's in Linux.
[06:09] <ootinyoo> Ok thanks.  I did try that and got an error message.  Let me write it down and I will be back.
[06:09] <riotkittie> pop it in your drive, reboot... .
[06:09] <riotkittie> make sure BIOS is set to boot from the DVD drive
[06:09] <xtknight> wheels3572: well what just happens if you run ' sudo vmware-config '   right now??
[06:09] <Aggort> varaint how do I access that?
[06:09] <wheels3572> let me see
[06:09] <Aggort> said there was no such file
[06:09] <riotkittie> or hit the F key to enable a boot menu if one's shown
[06:09] <xtknight> wheels3572: it may need to be ' sudo vmware-config.pl '
[06:10] <Jazon> hmmmm cant seem to figure out how to install gnash.... any pointers for me variant?
[06:10] <ootinyoo> ok thanks. Let me try.
[06:10] <variant> Aggort: try instead /mnt/boot/boot/menu.lst
[06:10] <xtknight> Aggort: he means /mnt/boot/boot/grub/menu.lst
[06:10] <Cholito> nikin: searching
[06:10] <xtknight> two boots actually since it was mounted at /mnt/boot and there's another boot subdir
[06:10] <nikin> Cholito: oki
[06:10] <Aggort> permission denied
[06:10] <wheels3572> xtknight, command not found
[06:10] <xtknight> wheels3572: try the one with .pl?
[06:10] <wheels3572> ooops
[06:10] <riotkittie> ooh. vmware. that brings me to my first stupid question.
[06:10] <wheels3572> let me check the 2nd option
[06:11] <Cholito> nikin: there is no list file for that package
[06:11] <variant> Aggort: you need to use a viewer or editor
[06:11] <nikin> Cholito: let me see on my system
[06:11] <variant> Aggort: for example: less /mnt/boot/boot/menu.lst
[06:11] <wheels3572> xtknight, command not found.  Cuz it never got to installing it
[06:11] <xtknight> wheels3572: oh boy
[06:11] <glyn> Hi, how do I get a cam working on Ubuntu Linux and what programs can I use it with?
[06:11] <xtknight> wheels3572: type ls -al /etc/init.d/vm*       and post it on pastebin
[06:12] <wheels3572> xtknight, everytime I goto install it it tells me another version is there.  But if I do a apt-get remove vmware-player it says nothing is there
[06:12] <wheels3572> xtknight, ok standy
[06:12] <xtknight> wheels3572: you can purge vmware-player instead of shoot it.; )  type sudo dpkg --purge vmware-player
[06:12] <Jazon> glyn: hi.  amsn is easy to use webcam with.  start with that (it's like msn messenger)
[06:12] <xtknight> wheels3572: that just removes residual config files
[06:12] <xtknight> wheels3572: but also do the ls  -al thing
[06:13] <glyn> Jazon:  can windows users use that?
[06:13] <Aggort> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/619/    Line 20 is where it starts the rest was previous
[06:13] <Jazon> glyn: yes.  plus you can talk to people uising msn's version
[06:13] <glyn> oh cool
[06:14] <HossBud> Hello
[06:14] <Jazon> hi HossBud
[06:14] <Cholito> nikin: no luck reinstalling/removing the package
[06:14] <variant> Aggort: looks fine, try rebooting now (remove the livecd)
[06:14] <riotkittie> i know the guest os can only used hardware thats recognized and functioning in ubuntu ... but is it possible to build upon that functionality? like... if i have a digicam that functions as a pc cam as well  but only works as a digital cam in ubuntu, could i install the driver in a VMed window and get that working?
[06:14] <Aggort> brb
[06:14] <wheels3572> xtknight, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/621/
[06:14] <riotkittie> lemme guess, a big fat resounding no :P
[06:14] <HossBud> I've got a problem and I'm not having a lot of luck understanding what I've read on the internet.
[06:14] <nikin> Cholito: i dont even find that package on apt.... i have all repos enabled
[06:14] <glyn> Jazon:  Where can I get amsn?
[06:14] <Jazon> riotkittie: try it and then tell us
[06:15] <xtknight> riotkittie: depends.  does the virtual machine software support the usb 2.0?
[06:15] <riotkittie> whats your problem, Hoss? i probably cant help it
[06:15] <HossBud> I've installed a firewire hard drive
[06:15] <xtknight> riotkittie: assuming that's the interface for your cam
[06:15] <Jazon> glyn: from the internet.  ;-)  google amsn ubuntu
[06:15] <HossBud> and I used Gparted to create a new partition and file system on it
[06:15] <variant> riotkittie: haha
[06:15] <xtknight> wheels3572: did you do purge?
[06:15] <wheels3572> nope
[06:15] <riotkittie> Jazon > i'm tempted to. but.  i only have so much space on my ubuntu partition
[06:15] <Cholito> nikin: I think that's from e17
[06:15] <wheels3572> I just did the command you said FIRST :)
[06:15] <xtknight> wheels3572: do it ;p
[06:16] <no0tic> does this audio card works with ubuntu? 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 82801G (ICH7 Family) High
[06:16] <no0tic> Definition Audio Controller (rev 02)
[06:16] <Jazon> riotkittie: set up a partition on an external... ?
[06:16] <jontec> Hey, is there anyway that I can use the fact that my Lexmark printer is connected to a windows computer to my advantage? Any thoughts?
[06:16] <HossBud> but when I try to save or read a file on it, it tells me I dont have permission
[06:16] <riotkittie> and im probably too stupid to get it going on my zenwalk partition =\
[06:16] <variant> no0tic: yes
[06:16] <nikin> Cholito: hmm i dont have e17
[06:16] <HossBud> and when I get the info on it, it says it belongs to root
[06:16] <riotkittie> i dont have an external.
[06:16] <Jazon> wow, ubuntu totally made this old imac come alive :D
[06:16] <no0tic> variant, on my friend's laptop it doesn't out of the box
[06:16] <Aggort2> I still think the problem lies within the fact that this thing doesn't boot without a CD  in it
[06:17] <Cholito> nikin: I think I'll just reinstall and keep on with my life xD
[06:17] <variant> no0tic: check the alsa card matrix for any issues
[06:17] <HossBud> so I dont understand how to take ownership of the drive
[06:17] <Balsamic_Chicken> what's the hello program from google
[06:17] <Jazon> riotkittie: heh - my iPod has 30Gb.... lol
[06:17] <no0tic> variant, in the mixer there isn't a Master toggle
[06:17] <xtknight> Aggort2: are you even telling it to boot off the HD?
[06:17] <glyn> Jazon:  Will this work with older versions of Ubuntu?
[06:17] <wheels3572> xtknight, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/622/
[06:17] <no0tic> variant, what's the alsa card matrix?
[06:17] <Aggort2> xt:  Yes
[06:17] <variant> no0tic: i will show you
[06:17] <riotkittie> my ipod is nonexistant :|
[06:17] <bigm555> hello
[06:17] <Jazon> glyn: depends on the camera, and how old ubuntu you mean
[06:17] <Aggort2> it jsut hangs there for a long time then goes to CD
[06:17] <nikin> Cholito: yep.. maybe that would be the only solution... but one Q remains... why did that hapen?
[06:17] <xtknight> wheels3572: well we will have to destroy the rest of vmware, messy if you dont mind
[06:17] <no0tic> variant, thanks
[06:17] <Jazon> glyn: but generaly, yes
[06:17] <variant> no0tic: http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-doc/index.php?vendor=All
[06:17] <Aggort2> but it doesn't boot the isntall it would boot windows before this grub mess
[06:18] <Aggort2> it's so strange
[06:18] <harrisony> Balsamic_Chicken: hello as in the messenger?
[06:18] <wheels3572> xtknight, I want it GONE lol at ANY expense.  Got any C4 :D lol
[06:18] <xtknight> wheels3572: sudo rm -r /etc/vmware           sudo rm /etc/init.d/vmware*
[06:18] <xtknight> wheels3572: linux C4 ^^
[06:18] <Cholito> nikin: I have no idea
[06:18] <variant> Aggort2: did you try rebooting?
[06:18] <wheels3572> xtknight,  ok standby
[06:18] <Cholito> I didn't installed anything weird :(
[06:18] <HossBud> it seems like it should be simple, but I cant figure it out
[06:18] <riotkittie> i am going to get a larger drive at some point. 12gb and no burner is bad enough with one os, and im "using" three
[06:19] <Aggort2> variant: It's doing it now I am on my laptop
[06:19] <Balsamic_Chicken> harrisony yes
[06:19] <Cholito> nikin: I was thinking about the 64bits ubuntu, but I think I'll pass on it =/
[06:19] <variant> Aggort2: ok, tell me how it goes
[06:19] <no0tic> variant, it's surely an Intel based card? or can it be any other compatible chipset?
[06:19] <nikin> Cholito: i think 32bit is better
[06:19] <bigm555> I'm looking for some assistance with a wireless KB and mouse
[06:19] <Aggort2> Varaint: try one failed (that was without the Windows CD) grub (well nothing for that mattter) loads unless that dmaned CD is in there
[06:20] <Cholito> nikin: I know =)
[06:20] <variant> Aggort2: odd, did grub load up this time though?
[06:20] <riotkittie> what filesystem?  what's the line about the partition in your fstab say?
[06:20] <Cholito> let's wait a little bit
[06:20] <HossBud> anyone?  :)
[06:20] <Aggort2> variant: with the CD in, it's at GRUB Loading, please wait ...
[06:20] <nikin> Cholito: oki :D i think then i go to sleep its 6:20 am
[06:20] <HossBud> I might be doing this wrong

[06:22] <variant> Aggort2: sorry man, i dunno what it could be.. error 17 means unsuported filesystem.. (but that can mean more than the obvious.. like something is installed wrong not just unsuported)
[06:22] <glyn> Jazon any idea?
[06:22] <Aggort2> yea

[06:27] <talisein> Aggort2: oh, so there's no grub installed?
[06:27] <Aggort2> I have never seen anything like it
[06:27] <xtknight> wheels3572: and type this command separately:  sudo rm -rf /etc/init.d/vmware*
[06:27] <wheels3572> xtknight, done :) just /etc/vmware
[06:27] <xtknight> wheels3572: remember, dont do rm -rf on anything else
[06:27] <Aggort2> talisein right now there is, but evne when there wasn't it'd do this
[06:27] <tritium> wheels3572: you didn't install the ubuntu package of vmware-player?
[06:27] <Rookie-1> !Ati
[06:27] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[06:27] <xtknight> tritium: we are wiping all remnants of vmware player/server from the repos and installing Workstation
[06:27] <Aggort2> now that grub is installed it won't start to load anything, including GRUB unless that CD is in there
[06:28] <talisein> Aggort2: what company did you buy this computer from?

[06:28] <tritium> xtknight: why didn't you --purge?
[06:28] <balarka> hi
[06:28] <wheels3572> xtknight, no idea what I did honestly
[06:28] <riotkittie> what file system is it?
[06:28] <professor> How do I get wireless to work on my laptop, its a broadcom, I have looked everywhere
[06:28] <professor> cant find the inf file anywhere
[06:28] <xtknight> tritium: did, but he tried to install workstation so it didnt remove some directories when it purged
[06:28] <wheels3572> xtknight, so far no error msgs lol
[06:28] <xtknight> wheels3572: thats fine
[06:28] <xtknight> wheels3572: it should not have returned anything to my knowledge
[06:28] <wheels3572> lets see if it installs now lol
[06:28] <imbecile> how do i make new sources list? i have this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/623/
[06:28] <xtknight> wheels3572: wait
[06:29] <xtknight> wheels3572: 'sudo updatedb'   did you do that?
[06:29] <riotkittie> ewww. i hate recovery cds.  <cringe>
[06:29] <talisein> Aggort2: hrm. dunno. you might try to fiddle int eh bios to disable whatever system restore stuff they have
[06:29] <tritium> xtknight: hmm, okay.  Just wanted to make sure you were aware of the --purge option ;)
[06:29] <Aggort2> talisein tried that
[06:29] <Aggort2> no avail
[06:29] <HossBud> riotkittie: the whole drive is ext3...according to Gparted
[06:29] <wheels3572> doing the sudo updatedb now
[06:29] <xtknight> tritium: yeah sometimes its fun just to rm -r everything you know
[06:29] <wheels3572> xtknight, right it returned right back to cli prompt
[06:29] <xtknight> well not `everything`
[06:30] <xtknight> wheels3572: ok.  now type 'locate vmware'
[06:30] <tritium> definitely not everything
[06:30] <xtknight> wheels3572: if it returns anything, there's still varmints
[06:30] <tony_> I'm having some problems with beryl... when I start the Beryl manager, it says "Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: murrine"
[06:30] <wheels3572> xtknight, soons it gets done doing the update db i will lol
[06:30] <tony_> anybody else had that before?
[06:30] <wheels3572> ok
[06:30] <talisein> Aggort2: ditch windows and reformat everything? ;)
[06:30] <xtknight> tony_: #beryl  may be of further help
[06:30] <Aggort2> talisein: Did that sane thing happened
[06:31] <xtknight> tony_: but actually it's not finding a GTK theme engine...  .so file i think
[06:31] <tony_> ok how do I fix it?
[06:31] <Aggort2> If it wasn't for gaming I;d ditch Windows altoether, even then grub wouldn't load to load ubuntu
[06:31] <riotkittie> ah. im completely clueless here. hold on. let me try to mount my other linux partition and see what happens
[06:31] <wheels3572> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/625/
[06:31] <tony_> go to #beryl or do you think you'd be able to direct me to the right sources?

[06:59] <bob_bcit> i am new
[06:59] <Feldegast> bob_bcit sure, which file did you download?
[06:59] <oavicena> it is very similar to gdesklets but the icons move aroung the desktop and bump
[06:59] <bob_bcit> the ,deb
[06:59] <glyn> I'm not sure what version of intel it is but I don't think it's supported for Linux

[07:01] <nextse7en> Can anyone help me, I'm fairly new to linux, I need to modify my xserver .conf file from the command line, can anyone recommend a good editor that isn't complicated to do the with? Or is there a way to restore my default .conf file?
[07:01] <n2diy> bob_bcit: scyphe?
[07:01] <oavicena> nano is quite easy
[07:01] <n2diy> bob_bcit: or however it is spelled? :)
[07:01] <bob_bcit> i looked
[07:01] <CocoLePew> your are on the console?
[07:01] <oavicena> and you can see the commands when editing
[07:01] <bob_bcit> yes
[07:01] <nextse7en> not now, I'm on the windows part.
[07:02] <oavicena> at the bottom
[07:02] <nextse7en> I'm looking for somthing as easy as edit in dos.
[07:02] <oavicena> nano is very easy
[07:02] <nextse7en> vi just confuses the crap outta me.
[07:02] <tritium> nextse7en: try nano, as oavicena suggests
[07:02] <TGPO> nextse7en, nano is even easier
[07:02] <Feldegast> nextse7en i use mc :)
[07:02] <n2diy> nextse7en: nano
[07:02] <oavicena> do not use vi
[07:02] <CocoLePew> joe is another editor, i prefer it than vi
[07:02] <glyn> are there any programs that will just detect your USB cam?
[07:03] <nextse7en> Got it, I'll be back if I can get my xsever running.
[07:03] <Intertricity> I can't believe there's 878 users in one channel c_c
[07:03] <n2diy> nextse7en: nano will run from a terminal.
[07:03] <nextse7en> wish me luck
[07:03] <nextse7en> ty all for the suggestion.
[07:03] <Intertricity> good luck
[07:03] <Feldegast> glyn you need the driver for the cam, that requires kernel support iirc
[07:03] <oavicena> you won't need it
[07:03] <ernz> Hi all, I am having an issue with DVD::Rip, all of the sound from a movie I am backing up is a couple of seconds behind. I am using the latest version of DVD::Rip, can anyone shed some light on the problem please?
[07:03] <strinh> how does one turn off gnome?  gnome doesn't like to work with the amount of video memory that this computer has.
[07:03] <n2diy> nextse7en: gl
[07:04] <strinh> turn off gnome for good... /etc/init.d/gdm stop doesn't do the trick.
[07:04] <glyn> doesn't look like I'll be able to get that, I don't have the install CD and don't know what camera it is
[07:04] <glyn> on windows it would just detect it
[07:04] <Intertricity> I'm giving my ubuntu install a rest for the night, I"ve been fiddling with that infernal broadcom driver
[07:04] <yakumo> can i convert cd image isi into dvd image iso
[07:04] <yakumo> can i convert cd image iso into dvd image iso
[07:05] <Feldegast> glyn prolly cos windows has the driver, in windows you should be able to find out what the camera is and google for it
[07:05] <glyn> I've tried Fedora, WIndows, other ubuntu version, but nothing except Hoary will run on my computer
[07:05] <lukillas> hi everybody

[07:14] <mvfeinstein> Feldegast, I just want something faster when I do updates or install software my xfer rate is 10KB or less if I download something from the web I get about 400KB
[07:14] <joserafael> you can use dreamweaver with wine
[07:14] <Johnny_> then i get grub error 18
[07:14] <n2diy> ! enter | Johnny_
[07:14] <ubotu> Johnny_: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[07:14] <Johnny_> sry
[07:14] <oavicena> does it work? dreamweaver with wine?
[07:14] <joserafael> yes
[07:15] <joserafael> you can look for on google
[07:15] <Feldegast> mvfeinstein in synaptic i have set it to use my local mirrors rather than the default main servers....
[07:15] <n2diy> Johnny_: google for grub 18.
[07:15] <oavicena> is it hard to set up?
[07:15] <joserafael> not really
[07:15] <oavicena> even for a new?
[07:15] <glyn> I need help using a USB cam for Ubuntu
[07:15] <glyn> I already installed the drivers
[07:15] <glyn> what now?
[07:15] <joserafael> yes, you can do it
[07:15] <Feldegast> glyn what model is it?
[07:16] <ernz> yakumo: I may have a solution but it's gonna need a little work, I'll talk you through it if you are willing?
[07:16] <glyn> intel easy pc camera
[07:16] <Johnny_> getting grub error 18 being too big hdd, been reading and apparently the quick fix without flashing my bios is to put the /boot partition at the beggining of the drive.
[07:16] <Feldegast> glyn i have no idea sorry
sure
[07:16] <lukillas> dreamweaver with wine? thanks ... so, i've got two options, wine-dreamweaver and nvu
[07:16] <lukillas> thanks so much
[07:16] <lukillas> oavicena and joserafael
[07:16] <varsendaggr> anyone play foobilliards and wanna play a network game?
[07:16] <glyn> when I go to system and devices it sees it
[07:16] <ernz> yakumo: OK, are you familiar with terminal commands?
[07:16] <glyn> I just don't know how to actually use it
[07:16] <Johnny_> just need a little run through with manual partitioning with gparted if anyone can spare the time
[07:16] <oavicena> de nada
[07:16] <Feldegast> Johnny_ i always put /boot at the beginning
[07:16] <varsendaggr> lukillas, nvu is pretty good
basic commands
[07:17] <mvfeinstein> Feldegast What do you mean by local mirrors? Does Ubuntu have something like apt-spy?
[07:17] <varsendaggr> couple that with inkscape gimp and blender and you can do anything
[07:17] <lukillas> anyway i can use openoffice writer and save as html :D
[07:17] <lukillas> :P
[07:17] <ernz> yakumo: Cool, please go here: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Edgy#How_to_mount.2Funmount_Image_.28ISO.29_files_without_burning >> and mount the ISO.
[07:17] <varsendaggr> lukillas, true
[07:17] <yakumo> ok
[07:17] <protocol1> is there a reason the installer halts when I try to load it?
[07:17] <ernz> yakumo: That page shows instructions. Only 3 lines, not too bad.
[07:18] <protocol1> is there a command I can use to bypass certain things to make it work?
[07:18] <yakumo> yup
[07:18] <ernz> yakumo: Mounted alright?
[07:18] <n2diy> protocol1: yes, and yes, follow the instructions at the boot prompt.
[07:18] <Feldegast> mvfeinstein in synaptic you can select if u want to use the main servers or a local mirror, look on the 1st tab in synaptic settings
[07:19] <mvfeinstein> Feldegast wouldn't local mirrors be pulling data from a CD or DVD rather then the web?
[07:19] <Johnny_> with gparted, I simply need to put a small partition at the front and flag it with "boot"? what about the "main" install, where is that going to be? do I need to flag another partition?
thnks ill just get my iso file on anther computer and try to do this... :)
[07:19] <seanj> argh!! how do i connect to another Samba server running on Ubuntu Dapper?
[07:19] <protocol1> n2diy, I select install ubuntu and then it tries to load then stops
[07:20] <Feldegast> mvfeinstein in synaptic repositories, 1st tab sorry
[07:20] <protocol1> is there a boot option I can use to make it work?
[07:20] <seanj> this is bs
[07:20] <ernz> yakumo: Not needing help any more?
[07:20] <Feldegast> mvfeinstein you set it to an alternate country to use a different set of servers
[07:20] <n2diy> protocol1: and you have the option of using F2 or F3, escape, etc....
ill go back if i have question thnks
[07:21] <ernz> yakumo: Fair enough, good luck with that.
[07:21] <yakumo> ok
[07:21] <z1> hi everyone. could you recommend a cd-burning app for windows that i can use to burn an iso? (other than nero)
[07:21] <xtknight> z1: ImgBurn
[07:21] <glick> z1, nero?
[07:21] <seanj> fuck, nevermind..
[07:21] <ernz> So, anyone use DVD::Rip? I am getting duffed audio on my rips, wassup!?
[07:21] <seanj> as usual DIY
[07:21] <varsendaggr> seanj, watchit
[07:22] <seanj> watch what?
[07:22] <z1> xtknight, is that free?
[07:22] <xtknight> z1: yup
[07:22] <variant> seanj: smb://ipaddress
[07:22] <n2diy> seanj:  your cranky, is it time for bed?
[07:22] <seanj> variant: thanks, I'll try that
[07:22] <pwilson> holy crap, it worked
[07:22] <z1> xtknight, thanks much.
[07:22] <seanj> n2diy: the insults aren't helping thanks
[07:22] <pwilson> nextseven herre.
[07:22] <Crankymonky> Cranky is he eh?
[07:22] <variant> seanj: that works in konqueror.. dunno what your using
[07:22] <seanj> n2diy: do you belong in a support channel, insulting people ?
[07:22] <seanj> variant: nautilus
[07:23] <variant> seanj: dunno
[07:23] <variant> seanj: try it
[07:23] <Johnny_> So when partitioning for an ubuntu install, you need to flag two partitions : one as root and one as boot am I correct?
[07:23] <mvfeinstein> Feldegast It only has two options main and us.... Does ubuntu have mirror repos like debian?
[07:23] <seanj> i'll try it
[07:23] <n2diy> seanj:  it wasn't an insult, it was a question, sometimes it is best to sleep on things.
[07:23] <Music_Shuffle> Cranky!
[07:23] <pwilson> Anyone want to help me with a crazy nvidia driver problem?
[07:23] <seanj> "Please select another viewer and try again"
[07:23] <chris_> im having one too
[07:23] <kouran> everyone's having that problem
[07:23] <seanj> ok n2diy, I'll buy that
[07:23] <variant> Johnny_: one as / (root) one as swap and optionaly (but reccomended) one as /boot there are other options for more advanced setups too
[07:23] <seanj> this is a 3 day running problem however :/
[07:23] <seanj> I'm sorry
[07:23] <glick> POW! put that in your crack pipe and smoke it bitch!
[07:24] <seanj> yeah i got owned
[07:24] <glick> damn
[07:24] <glick> wrong channel
[07:24] <chris_> i just updated my kernel to 2.6.17-10 and i cant install the driver, something about not being able to build the module
[07:24] <seanj> lol..
[07:24] <deepsa> hey i got something interesting here. i am having intel high defination audio on my laptop and it gets detected if i disable my internal modem otherwise it doesn't gets detected. and if it gets detected then too it doesn't work no sound comes out. i have the proper alsa module loaded by the kernel snd-hda-intel.
[07:24] <n2diy> seanj:  cool, we're trying for the best here.
[07:24] <seanj> okay :)
[07:24] <pwilson> Does anyone know what gpu is actually inside a geforce go 6150
[07:24] <crimsun> deepsa: -disabled-?
[07:24] <protocol1> n2diy, Im trying different boot parameters
[07:24] <crimsun> deepsa: is it a thinkpad/lenovo?
[07:25] <kouran> refer to this forum thread for the nvidia problem http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318206&highlight=nvidia+driver+x+server
[07:25] <deepsa> crimsun: its lenovo
[07:25] <glyn> anyone experienced with GnomeMeeting?
[07:25] <glyn> I need to know how to tell it that I Have a cam
[07:25] <n2diy> protocol1:  good luck.
[07:25] <glick> i used it once
[07:25] <crimsun> deepsa: using the latest bios?
[07:25] <glick> gnome meeting
[07:25] <deepsa> crimsun: yeah the latest
[07:25] <glick> eh
[07:25] <glick> its not fantastic
[07:25] <crimsun> deepsa: normally it's the other way around: you have to enable the modem to hear anything
[07:25] <variant> glick: it's called ekiga now
[07:25] <deepsa> crimsun: modem enabled sound works in gentoo but in ubuntu i don't know why
[07:26] <glick> yeah ekiga sucks now
[07:26] <crimsun> deepsa: are you using alsa-driver 1.0.14rc1?
[07:26] <chris_> why doesnt my nvidia driver build the kernel module? it shows the progress bar up to 100% then says it cannot build it
[07:26] <deepsa> crimsun: no my alsa is built inside the kernel and if i try to build alsa-driver it give error at something called vmalloc
[07:26] <deshantm_> !dd
[07:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dd - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:26] <untung> hi
[07:26] <riotkittie> are you getting some kind of error message beyond that
[07:26] <crimsun> deepsa: then you need to use at least 2.6.20-rc3
[07:27] <untung> I am using ubuntu 6.10
[07:27] <J0HN> hey all
[07:27] <chris_> hi
[07:27] <untung> anybody using the 6.10 version?
[07:27] <riotkittie> hi untung
[07:27] <chris_> yep
[07:27] <chris_> me
[07:27] <deepsa> crimsun: i got that and did make menuconfig it gave a whole lot of error  i was login via root to do that
[07:27] <untung> Chris: that's cool
[07:27] <J0HN> what's the terminal command to open up a program that will allow me to fix my screen resolution?
[07:27] <pwilson> how do I kill xserve so I can run the nvidia executible?
[07:27] <crimsun> deepsa: you don't need to be root to compile a kernel.
[07:27] <Crankymonky> Guys, there is this guy I met online, goes by the alias Music_Shuffle.  I think I might love him and I know he loves me back.  What should I do?
[07:27] <seanj> ok... all i need to know is how to get NFS working
[07:27] <seanj> I'd rather that than Samba anyway
[07:27] <kouran> init 3
[07:27] <Music_Shuffle> Rofl! :P
[07:27] <crimsun> Crankymonky: you might just check yourself out of #ubuntu for starter.s
[07:27] <glick> im still using dapster drake
[07:27] <deepsa> crimsun: ok but then also it fails. on some headers missing
[07:28] <untung> i am trying to install monodevelop
[07:28] <pwilson> kouran just type that into terminal/
[07:28] <J0HN> under "System/Prefrences/Screen Resolution" it won't let me select my screen res.
[07:28] <chris_> untung: i cant get the nvidia driver to install on it :(
[07:28] <pwilson> kouran just type that into terminal?
[07:28] <crimsun> deepsa: is build-essential installed?
[07:28] <n2diy> pwilson: restart, or kill so you can get to a command line?
[07:28] <kouran> yeah what did you want to know?
[07:28] <untung> hi,  i have problem in installing monodevelop in 6.10
[07:28] <glick> im really not to happy about the futures plans of ubuntu
[07:28] <deepsa> crimsun: how do i check it i mean what command?
[07:28] <di||itante> seanj: tell me mmor anout nfs
[07:28] <glick> their gonna make 3d desktop default in feisty?
[07:28] <untung> Chris: what happen?
[07:28] <glick> wtf is that all about
[07:28] <kouran> if you do init3 in terminal itll change to runlevel 3 which is command prompt
[07:28] <riotkittie> ahhh internet love. this takes me back.
[07:28] <furthur> I am currently using Gparted, Ive got Create As : Primary Partition.... so this would serve as root?
[07:28] <crimsun> deepsa: you can use syntapic to see if it's installed, or dpkg -l build-essential|grep ^ii
[07:28] <pwilson> no, I need to shut down X entirely, otherwise the nvidia executible won't run
[07:28] <glick> some of us dont have fancy schmancy graphics cards
[07:28] <crimsun> kouran: no it won't
[07:29] <seanj> di||itante: NFS is the Network File System, allowing computers to share filesystems, which can be mounted to appear as a local filesystem (local disk drive)
[07:29] <untung> chris : can you check the driver?
[07:29] <Crankymonky> crimsun, That'd be just a little joke.
[07:29] <seanj> maybe ubotu knows...
[07:29] <crimsun> kouran: we don't play runlevel games; 2-5 are identical
[07:29] <seanj> !nfs
[07:29] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[07:29] <protocol1> n2diy, it stops on loading drivers?
[07:29] <glick> isnt anyone else uncomfortable about that?
[07:29] <crimsun> glick: sure
[07:29] <J0HN> does anybody know?
[07:29] <n2diy> pwilson: sudo init 1
[07:29] <kouran> yeah i just realised when i said that, my bad
[07:29] <pwilson> ty
[07:29] <deepsa> crimsun: No packages found matching build-essential
[07:29] <protocol1> Im using the 6.06 install CD
[07:29] <crimsun> glick: however, it's utterly offtopic for this channel.
[07:29] <untung> Chris: I installed the ubuntu in vmware , it runs well
[07:29] <di||itante> seanj: i know, tell me what you want to do, ill hel you
[07:29] <crimsun> deepsa: so install it
[07:29] <glick> so shouldnt we speak out that we think its crappy so they dont do it?
[07:29] <variant> pwilson: /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[07:29] <chris_> untung: it says it can't find the path to the kernel source, so i put it, which is /usr/src/________ and then it begins to build the module, after it gets to 100% it says cannot build kernel module
[07:29] <Music_Shuffle> crimsun, I know!  He just can't keep it to himself sometimes, forgive him.  Crankymonky is just affectionate like that. ;P
[07:29] <lukillas> ok, i downloaded and installed nvu, it's seems like frontpage, easy to use .. thanks to all for the help ;)
[07:30] <seanj> ahh okay di||itante ... I have a dir named /stuff on "wreck" and I want to export it so I can mount it with "rayne"
[07:30] <n2diy> protocol1:  which one?
[07:30] <crimsun> glick: this is not the proper forum for that.
[07:30] <protocol1> 6.06 install cd
[07:30] <J0HN> what's the terminal command so i can fix my screen resoultion and stuff?
[07:30] <fami_> Excuse me, but I have a stupid question. I'm trying to reinstall ndiswrapper and I'm following a guide. When I type make uninstall I get the following error: /bin/rm: cannot remove `/lib/modules/2.6.15-27-386/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper': Is a directory
[07:30] <riotkittie>  i think my gfx card has a whopping 8mb of ram
[07:30] <furthur> someone here knows his way around gparted?
[07:30] <protocol1> the last thing its working on is Loading hardware drivers
[07:30] <kouran> this has probably been asked a billion times, but has anyone solved the nvidia issue with xserver not starting?
 sorry, i am new too in Ubuntu
[07:30] <variant> riotkittie: mine has 512
[07:30] <adub> what is a good version of gcc to get
[07:30] <protocol1> then no action
[07:30] <n2diy> protocol1:  if you are replying to me, include my nick, so it is highlighted here.
[07:30] <adub> that will compile most packages
[07:30] <chris_> untung: its okay :)
[07:31] <variant> adub: whatever comes with build-essential
[07:31] <protocol1> n2diy, ok
[07:31] <glick> mine has 32

[07:31] <riotkittie> 512.  my god between you and the guy who has 2.5x more storage on his ipod than i have on my laptop, i am rapidly becoming a sad, sad panda
[07:31] <di||itante> seanj: on wreck, #apt-get install nfs-common nfs-kernel-server portmap
[07:31] <variant> riotkittie: hehe
[07:31] <untung> any body can help Chris?
[07:31] <n2diy> protocol1:  which one, what is the last message you see?
[07:31] <mvfeinstein> Can anyone tell me where I can find a list of local mirrors for the 6.10 repos.... I really need something faster then the main and us servers
[07:31] <xtknight> they should just make geforce 6xxx+ and radeon X1300+ use the 3d by default, and the rest be 2d by default.
[07:31] <seanj> di||itante: okay, trying.. thanks :)
[07:31] <adub> variant sounds like a plan im just getting back into linux after about a year absence and its insane how much the ubuntu community has grown
[07:31] <protocol1> Loading hardware drivers
[07:32] <kouran> this has probably been asked a billion times, but has anyone solved the nvidia issue with xserver not starting? i've tried everything but xserver does not start.
[07:32] <xtknight> or everything 2d, and select a few device IDs to be 3d by default
[07:32] <chris_> if anyone can help it would be great
[07:32] <adub> also crazy all my hardware works on a fesh install on my laptop im blown away
[07:32] <n2diy> protocol1:  if you are replying to me, include my nick, so it is highlighted here.

[07:35] <fami_> untung: or, conversely use Alt<F2> and enter the name of the program into the run box
[07:35] <J0HN> yah, somebody before told me of a terminal command that opened a handy program that edited xorg.conf for me...
[07:35] <beck> All I need to know is where to get the meta file for BitTorrent.

[07:35] <protocol1> n2diy, its boots fine to the installer
[07:35] <revan> default depth is 32
[07:36] <fami_> untung: if that works, then adding the program to the applications menu via alacarte is easy
[07:36] <tritium> adub: you'll want to use official ubuntu repositories
[07:36] <riotkittie> i found a driver on source fource but it either lacked the functionality i sought, or i was too stupid to get it together. i forget. maybe it was both.
[07:36] <chris_> John: it will have a bunch of resolutions, you just have to add in the one you want
[07:36] <untung> fami: i entered monodevelop but it does not work
[07:36] <riotkittie> not that it really matters :P
[07:36] <n2diy> protocol1:  You aren't installed yet?
[07:36] <revan> newbieme: the default depth is 32
[07:36] <adub> ok tritium i need an emule client
[07:36] <protocol1> n2diy, no
[07:36] <glyn> any luck newbieme?
[07:36] <J0HN> i'm lookin at the file right now...
[07:37] <protocol1> n2diy, thats what I am working on
[07:37] <chris_> John: okay
[07:37] <n2diy> protocol1:  Install first, and deal with the wireless card later.
[07:37] <adub> tritium do i need to edit sources.list to put stuff in there
[07:37] <chris_> its near the bottom
[07:37] <protocol1> n2diy, ok
[07:37] <untung> fami: it only has  monodoc in the application
[07:37] <protocol1> I will give that a shot
[07:37] <newbieme> revan, do you have this in your screen section:
[07:37] <fami_> untung: you'll have to find the monodevelop binary and see what command is necessary to run it
[07:37] <n2diy> protocol1:  good luck.
[07:37] <protocol1> n2diy, I will give that a shot
[07:37] <newbieme> glyn: i'm checking to see what drivers are out there
[07:37] <tritium> adub: have you tried amule?
[07:37] <newbieme> # Enable 32-bit ARGB GLX Visuals     Option "AddARGBGLXVisuals" "True"  # If you are using an older version of compiz that # does not support rendering into the Composite # Overlay Window, you will need to disable clipping # of GLX rendering to the X Root window with this # option, or you will get a blank screen after # starting compiz:     Option "DisableGLXRootClipping" "True"
[07:37] <Shadow_mil> Well...  I'm trying to reinstall ndiswrapper and I'm following a guide. When I type 'make uninstall' I get the following error: /bin/rm: cannot remove `/lib/modules/2.6.15-27-386/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper': Is a directory
[07:38] <chris_> John: it goes from highest resolution to lowest, left to right
[07:38] <glyn> ah alright thanks
[07:38] <revan> newbieme: yes
[07:38] <adub> tritum i have search for amule i have used in the past but in the repositories that are default it does not show up
[07:38] <revan> oh, sorry newbieme. typo, default depth is 24
[07:38] <adub> can you dcc me a good sources.list or something that will have a good repository list
[07:38] <chris_> John: just add in your resolution to the beginning of that for each display
[07:38] <riotkittie> remove it with rmdir or rm ?
[07:38] <adub> that is kinda key in getting good apps
[07:38] <tritium> !amule
[07:38] <ubotu> amule: client for the eD2k and Kad networks, like eMule. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.1.3-1 (edgy), package size 1239 kB, installed size 3368 kB
[07:38] <fami_> untung: unfortunately, I'm not familiar with monodevelop, so I can't address any issues other than how to add stuff to the applications menu :(
[07:38] <Slickx> Tell me
[07:38] <adub> :)  thanks for answering questions fo rme
[07:38] <untung> fami: i have no idea about that. why it doesn't show up after i installed it from sypnatic
[07:39] <Slickx> Who decides on the name of the releases?
[07:39] <J0HN> hmm
[07:39] <tritium> adub: amule is in the universe repository
[07:39] <chris_> MARK!!
[07:39] <chris_> lol
[07:39] <J0HN> i searched the xorg.conf document
[07:39] <adub> !amule
[07:39] <fami_> untung: sometimes programs installed via synaptic don't show up in the applications menu. They have to be added manually
[07:39] <Slickx> who ever named ubuntu is retarded
[07:39] <J0HN> i found a few spots where it listed a bunch of screen resolutions
[07:39] <riotkittie> the ubuntu release name fairy does of course
[07:39] <adub> tritium how did you find that out i just ran the same command didnt do anything for me
[07:39] <n2diy> Slickx: God?
[07:39] <tritium> Slickx: take it easy, please
[07:39] <chris_> John: its at the very bottom
[07:39] <J0HN> but i don't see where i'm supposed to set the resolution i want
[07:39] <Music_Shuffle> What's the command to view access lists for a channel?
[07:39] <oavicena> does anybody know about wine?
[07:39] <riotkittie> eh. i dont see why people are so hung up on the names.
[07:39] <Music_Shuffle> on XChat?
[07:39] <Slickx> People don't want to choose a distro because they feel guilty for the AIDS infected people of Manubuatau in African
[07:39] <untung> fami: you means it may be already installed ?
[07:39] <Music_Shuffle> Or just in general realy.
[07:40] <chris_> John: itll say 800*600 640*480 etc
[07:40] <Music_Shuffle> Slickx, then...don't choose it because of that? lol.
[07:40] <untung> fami: how can i find it? any windows explorer in ubuntu?
[07:40] <jumbers> Slickx: If you don't like it then uninstall it or if you haven't installed it, then just don't.
[07:40] <tritium> adub: from ubotu, but I also apt-cache searched for it, since I have all the repos in my sources.list file
[07:40] <fami_> untung: maybe. do a search for it or check the various */bin folders
[07:40] <gop> !youtube
[07:40] <chris_> John: at the res you want before the 800*600
[07:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about youtube - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:40] <newbieme> revan, how about changing your default depth?
[07:40] <newbieme> unless you have a reason for using 32
[07:40] <Slickx> Eggy Elephant
[07:40] <tritium> Slickx: warning
[07:40] <Slickx> Warning?
[07:40] <Slickx> For Eggy Elephant
[07:41] <chris_> John: add the res you want before the 800*600
[07:41] <revan> newbieme: sorrytypo. default depth is 24
[07:41] <tritium> Slickx: no, for your comment about Africa
[07:41] <oavicena> i am trying to run winecfg, but i cannot get into the program files directory in add-application tab
[07:41] <Slickx> LOL
[07:41] <jumbers> Slickx: There's really no reason to come in here and troll the IRC and waste space. It's crowded enough in here without your mindless banter
[07:41] <fami_> untung: but once you have the command necessary to launch the binary, you simply need to open alacarte and tell it what the command is that runs the application, where you want to put the link for it, and what icon you want to use :D
[07:41] <denis_> anyone know how to fix flash video being out of sync youtube etc..
[07:41] <oavicena> i am using ubuntu 6.10
[07:41] <fami_> Excuse me, but I have a stupid question. I'm trying to reinstall ndiswrapper and I'm following a guide. When I type 'make uninstall' I get the following error: /bin/rm: cannot remove `/lib/modules/2.6.15-27-386/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper': Is a directory
[07:41] <tritium> Slickx: we have a Code of Conduct.  Try showing some respect.
[07:41] <Slickx> IRC is full of mindless banter
[07:41] <J0HN> the problem is: i see many resolutions. 800x600 is found essentially in the middle of this list of resolutions. this occurs a few times in the document
[07:41] <Slickx> surely 99% of text on IRC is mindless banter
[07:41] <riotkittie> indeed it is. dont add to it.
[07:41] <emun> has anybody had this problem, the parallel port does not show up in device manager , but shows up when i run run ubuntu llive cd.
[07:42] <Winter-1> :(
[07:42] <Slickx> How is it a waste of space?
[07:42] <adub> tritium why is my vim spazing out
[07:42] <jumbers> Slickx: Not in here it isn't.
[07:42] <fami_> At least nobody is executing gay.pl in this IRC channel
[07:42] <blanky> Slickx: then you're part of it, apparently
[07:42] <Slickx> are you running 640*480 or something
[07:42] <variant> Slickx: only when people like you turn up
[07:42] <blanky> Slickx: in fact, you're the missing 1%
[07:42] <chris_> John: where you want to add your res should be at the very bottom, under a certain number of Displays
[07:42] <newbieme> revan, that might be the problem!  it shouldn't be looking for 32, then, if your default depth is 24
[07:42] <riotkittie> vim is spazzing out because it is the root of all evil
[07:42] <oavicena> nobody knows about wine?
[07:42] <jumbers> Slickx: There are 882 people in this channel. It's almost impossible to follow the chat as it is
[07:42] <J0HN> i'm running 800x600 and need to change it
[07:42] <Winter-1> Music_Shuffle helps me :(
[07:42] <n30n> !resolution | J0HN
[07:42] <ubotu> J0HN: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type "sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart" in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[07:42] <oavicena> i need that little help
[07:43] <revan> newbieme: So, what can I do to let it know I'm running 24bit depth?
[07:43] <Music_Shuffle> Winter-1: ?
[07:43] <glyn> I know Wine won't run Yahoo
[07:43] <glyn> lol
[07:43] <Winter-1> Music_Shuffle when is my ban up?
[07:43] <Music_Shuffle> I dunno, ask in -ops?
[07:43] <fami_> When I type 'make uninstall' I get the following error: /bin/rm: cannot remove `/lib/modules/2.6.15-27-386/kernel/drivers/net/ndiswrapper': Is a directory. How can I get the operation to go through? Is there a way to manually complete that operation? Is it necessary for the install?
[07:44] <Winter-1> -ops
[07:44] <J0HN> thank you!
[07:44] <nymphetamine> -Rf
[07:44] <dstaudt> revan: have you tried 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg?' this is a 'wizard' that lets you pick x server config options, including color depth
[07:44] <oavicena> when i run winecfg, in the applications tab, when i click add i see the program files diretory but when i get in i don't see the folders in it
[07:44] <protocol1> n2diy, after installing it the OS...whats the next step after slapping the card back in?
[07:44] <n2diy> See ya slickx
[07:44] <tritium> Winter-1: from which channel?
[07:44] <J0HN> i think i just found the command i was asking for earlier, i think it's "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[07:44] <J0HN> let me give it a try. brb as i do so
[07:44] <Winter-1> tritium ubuntu-offtopic
[07:44] <n2diy> protocol1:  is the box up?
[07:44] <newbieme> revan, lemme check out some files and see if i can figure it out
[07:44] <crimsun> tritium: he's muzzled for posting urls to inappropriate images.
[07:45] <fami_> lulz
[07:45] <Winter-1> tritium cuz i posted a link of a girl with a bra on cuz they were talking about some slut girl
[07:45] <revan> ok, thank you newbieme :)
[07:45] <dstaudt> fami : the script is failing when it tries to delete that directory.  I guess you could try manually deleting it yourself
[07:45] <tritium> Winter-1: well, that's no good
[07:45] <protocol1> n2diy, yeah pulled the wifi PCI card out and installing the OS now
[07:45] <fami_> dstaudt: thank you!
[07:45] <Winter-1> crimsun how long is it for?
[07:45] <n2diy> protocol1:  ok, can you get online without the wifi card?
[07:45] <tritium> adub: couldn't tell you, sorry
[07:45] <crimsun> Winter-1: until you stop asking.
[07:46] <riotkittie> gahhhh. i wish the other half would let me install a distro on the desktop :\
[07:46] <protocol1> n2diy, yeah with my other wifi card I can
[07:46] <protocol1> n2diy, im sure
[07:46] <glyn> any luck newbieme?
[07:46] <dstaudt> riotkittie: i am running an IBM T43 laptop booting off a USB hard drive :)  my internal HD is windows
[07:46] <n2diy> protocol1:  ok, but no wired connections?
[07:47] <dstaudt> USB hard drive with Ubuntu on it of course
[07:47] <protocol1> n2diy, not at the moment...
[07:47] <newbieme> glyn, hold on--i tried helping two people at once, sorry!
[07:47] <Avatar[1] > Hey all. I'm having trouble with the Ubuntu LiveCD v6.1 can't get it to start on my computer. It gives me wierd graphical errors.
[07:47] <fami_> dstaudt : worked like a charm. I appreciate the help
[07:47] <newbieme> revan, can you e-mail me your xorg.conf contents?
[07:47] <newbieme><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[07:47] <riotkittie> ah. i need to get an external. or at least a larger internal.
[07:47] <dstaudt> :)
[07:47] <n2diy> protocol1:  ok, try connectiong with he card you think works.
[07:47] <adub> yeah im not liking vim for some reason its quirky i dunno whats up with it but ill try nano and see if i can get by or emacs
[07:48] <protocol1> n2diy, then?
[07:48] <fami_> dstaudt : I thought that might work, but I'm wary when it comes to deleting stuff that I didn't personally make.
[07:48] <Avatar[1] > I'm running an Intel dualcore 2.8, with 2gb ram and a Gforce 6800
[07:48] <dstaudt> riotkittie: i also ran ubuntu in vmware for a long time on my windows drive, you can run it full screen
[07:48] <riotkittie> nano's insanoly easy, adub
[07:48] <untung> hi: anybody using monodevelop here?
[07:48] <dstaudt> but of course somewhat slower and no graphic accel
[07:49] <riotkittie> insanely, too.
[07:49] <n2diy> protocol1:  tell me if it worked or not.
[07:49] <linux_den> help with ubuntu flash video out of sync anyone
[07:49] <dstaudt> linux_den: have you tried the flash 9 linux beta?
[07:49] <andrew_> anybody familiar with Kiba Dock here?
[07:50] <dstaudt> audio sync is a known issue with the flash 7 plugin, i believe
[07:50] <newbieme> linux_den, are you using the FLASH from the repos or the beta?
[07:50] <nymphetamine> After i installed flash 9 i didnt have any problems..
[07:50] <linux_den> repos I think
[07:50] <gop> ! kiba > andrew_
[07:50] <newbieme> ok
[07:50] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about kiba - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[07:50] <crimsun> flash 9 is in the repos, too.
[07:50] <Avatar[1] > I'm having trouble booting the Ubuntu 6.1 live CD. Can anybody give me a hand?
[07:50] <dstaudt> bring up a page with a flash on it, and right click it to see the version
[07:50] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , whats not working?
[07:50] <untung> hi: what is the web server for ubuntu 6.1?
[07:50] <newbieme> linux_den, download the flash 9 beta from here:
[07:51] <protocol1> n2diy, I do have a cd with drivers for both windows and linux...should I try those out too?
[07:51] <linux_den> will try using 9
[07:51] <Avatar[1] > It gives me wierd graphics errors when I try to run.
[07:51] <Avatar[1] > Like vertical colored lines
[07:51] <newbieme> http://othello.alma.edu/~07tmhopk/files/FP9_plugin_beta_112006.tar.gz
[07:51] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , laptop?
[07:51] <Avatar[1] > Desktop.
[07:51] <n2diy> protocol1:  no, tell me if it worked or not.
[07:51] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , have you tried some boot options?
[07:51] <linux_den> downloading now
[07:51] <Avatar[1] > Intel dualcore 2.8, 2gb ram, geforce 6800
[07:51] <dstaudt> avatar: try the 'alternate' CD, obviously not a 'try before you buy' live cd, but it often lets you install where the livecd fails
[07:52] <Avatar[1] > No i haven't. Not sure what I should try.
[07:52] <gop> is thier a tool in ubuntu to download you tube videos
[07:52] <adub> how can i check my network card setting i want to see if monitor_mode is set
[07:52] <Avatar[1] > I'm not trying to install i just want to see the operating system before I commit to it.
[07:52] <adub> iwpriv ?? maybe would that check my stuff running on wrieless card
[07:52] <foxiness> sorry can i do upgrade from LXF DVD ? for this month ?
[07:52] <riotkittie> use one of the firefox extensions, gop
[07:52] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , yup
[07:52] <protocol1> n2diy, I know which wireless card works but I dont want to use that one
[07:52] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , if you hit the f2 f3 etc keys on the first screen
[07:52] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , it should give you boot options
[07:53] <newbieme> linux_den, when it downloads, just unzip it and the directions are in a README file in the folder
[07:53] <dstaudt> gop: this website lets you download youtube videos: http://www.techcrunch.com/get-youtube-movie/, and there is a firefox plugin to do so also
[07:53] <n2diy> protocol1:  I know that, but we need to see how it is working!?
[07:53] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , and a little description about what they do
[07:53] <riotkittie> brb
[07:53] <protocol1> n2diy, I will see if the ubuntu system detects the one I want to work after I install it
[07:53] <Avatar[1] > Oh right. Well I tried some of the different resolutions. A few times it made it to the OS, but everything was distorted, like when you choose a resolution your monitor can't handle.
[07:54] <newbieme> glyn, does your device manager see your cam?
[07:54] <Avatar[1] > i tried safe graphics mode but it didn't help.
[07:54] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , I think there is a safe graphics option and such, not sure though, its been a while sens I have booted the live cd
[07:54] <adub> what is the latest version of crossover office
[07:55] <NickGarvey> adub, in the repos or the actual lastest version?
[07:55] <Avatar[1] > Yeah I just tried the safe graphics mode. No dice.
[07:55] <NickGarvey> adub, 2.1.0 is the actual, not sure whats in the repos
[07:55] <NickGarvey> !info openoffice
[07:55] <adub> well i guess the latest stable nickgarvey i dont care if i have to buy i just need something to run office 2003
[07:56] <ubotu> Package openoffice does not exist in any distro I know
[07:56] <NickGarvey> adub, it should be installed already.
[07:56] <NickGarvey> adub, http://download.openoffice.org/2.1.0/index.html?focus=download
[07:56] <n2diy_> I'm back, my ISP cut me off.
[07:56] <NickGarvey> Avatar[1] , aoeu
[07:57] <fami_> Okay, I just reinstalled ndiswrapper and dmesg returns "[17266170.824000]  ADDRCONF(NETDEV_UP): wlan0: link is not ready" What's wrong now?
[07:57] <adub> no office 2003
[07:57] <dstaudt> adub: it is possible to run MS Office using the Crossover Office compatibility product (which costs some $)
[07:57] <NickGarvey> adub, oh! I didn't see crossover, I read open
[07:58] <NickGarvey> sorry about that
[07:58] <J0HN> ok, i'm back after running that terminal program.
[07:58] <dstaudt> I don't believe Outlook works, however
[07:58] <J0HN> it was the command i was thinking of
[07:58] <J0HN> now i gotta do ctrl+alt+backspace to apply the changes, right?
[07:58] <dstaudt> John : yes
[07:59] <nymphetamine> Um, strange question, Is there a bug that wont let you Empty your trash bin?
[07:59] <newbieme> anyone know how to get thumbnails in kde?
[07:59] <vect0rx> !info eclipse
[07:59] <ubotu> eclipse: Extensible Tool Platform and Java IDE. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.2.1-0ubuntu1 (edgy), package size 121 kB, installed size 412 kB
[07:59] <J0HN> the last time i did that, the monitor said it was out of range (referring to the resolution). and as i'm currently running ubuntu as a live cd, all i could do was restart and didn't get to write down that command to begin with. lol... wish me luck
[07:59] <nymphetamine> Thumbnails?
[08:00] <newbieme> yeah, like in the file browser...previews of files
[08:00] <newbieme> i know totem handles it in gnome, but i don't know much about kde
[08:00] <glyn> any luck newbieme?
[08:00] <glyn> lol
[08:00] <glyn> Well
[08:00] <nymphetamine> yeah...should be able to go to view in your browser
[08:00] <riotkittie> have you checked the options/preferences whatever in konqueror?
[08:00] <glyn> How do I boot from a Windows Boot CD when I already have Linux Ubuntu installed?
[08:01] <newbieme> well i don't have the cam, so i can't tell you if i have it figured out, but does your cam show up in your device manager?
[08:01] <newbieme> i checked the options like that in KDE
[08:01] <glyn> yeah it does newbieme
[08:01] <newbieme> told kcontrol to show previews for everything, etc, but no thumbnails.  ever.
[08:01] <dstaudt> gly: you may need to enter your BIOS setup and set it to put the CDROM in 1st boot priority
[08:01] <newbieme> glyn, how what does it say is the location of the device
[08:01] <riotkittie> change your bios options
[08:01] <glyn> k
[08:01] <glyn> let me check
[08:02] <glyn> where would the location be listed?
[08:02] <dstaudt> note, if you want to dual boot windows/linux, you have to always install windows first
[08:02] <fami_> ARGH.
[08:02] <riotkittie> what location?
[08:02] <riotkittie> boot options?
[08:02] <newbieme> glyn, open up the gnome device manager
[08:02] <dstaudt> when you reboot the PC, look for a very quick text message similar to 'Press F2 for Setup'
[08:02] <glyn> no, we're talking about the camera
[08:02] <newbieme> in your administration menu
[08:02] <riotkittie> oh ;p
[08:02] <newbieme> then find the camera in the list
[08:02] <glyn> I'm going to try the bios thing if I can't get the cam workin
[08:02] <glyn> lol
[08:03] <glyn> I'm under the camera
[08:03] <newbieme> look in the advanced tab
[08:03] <n2diy_> riotkittie: who are you talking to?
[08:03] <riotkittie> nobody in particularrr
[08:03] <fami_> According to the list of wifi cards that work with ndiswrapper, mine should operate fine. However, despite having recompiled ndiswrapper from source and installing the drivers, my wlan0 isn't showing up in ifconfig or iwconfig output...
[08:03] <glyn> under info.bus?
[08:03] <linux_den> tried v9 flash plugin but still out of sync. Will A reboot help
[08:03] <glyn> or path_device?
[08:03] <Hansel> Does anybody know the name of that game that is kind of like Lunar Lander but you have to avoid missiles and bullets while trying to land on the pads?  You also have to pick up boxes and move them and stuff like that...
[08:04] <dstaudt> linux_den: have you confirmed flash9 is loading, by right clicking a flash and checking the version listed?
[08:04] <n2diy_> riotkittie: maybe that is why you arent't getting answers, if you want someone to respond to you, include there nick in your message.
[08:04] <linux_den> yes
[08:04] <fami_> If I were to direct someone to a forum post with the output of 'tail /var/log/messages would someone help me finally get this damned thing working?
[08:04] <cens0red> can I make a request to the people who run the universe repository?
[08:04] <Hansel> linux_den - I just updated my aliases file and then grabbed a different flash file and voila...
[08:04] <newbieme> path_device
[08:04] <riotkittie> n2diy, i am getting answers but thanks for the concern.
[08:04] <Hansel> fami_ what is going wrong?
[08:04] <Hansel> I can try to help...
[08:05] <glyn> heh
[08:05] <glyn> it's /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1f:2/usb1/1-1
[08:05] <linux_den> i installed in the user directory not global. what do you mean update aliases
[08:05] <fami_> Hansel wlan0 simply doesn't show up in the output of ifconfig or iwconfig
[08:05] <n2diy_> riotkittie: good luck.
[08:05] <newbieme> ok
[08:05] <newbieme> so that's good
[08:05] <Hansel> err... sources.list  not aliases  :)
[08:05] <Hansel> I am in work mode  hehe
[08:05] <dstaudt> fami_ what how-to or steps did you follow?
[08:05] <newbieme> at least ubuntu is reading it right
[08:05] <glyn> Yeah
[08:06] <fami_> dstaudt : the last post in this thread: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=190614
[08:06] <newbieme> you're using edgy, glyn?
[08:07] <fami_> Different version of ndiswrapper, but all other steps were the same dstaudt
[08:07] <glyn> nah hoary is the only thing that works on my computer
[08:07] <dstaudt> does 'ndiswrapper' appear when you do 'sudo lsmod' ?
[08:07] <fami_> dstaudt yes
[08:07] <cens0red> man, I'm about give up on audio linux and install a windows 98 partition so atleast I can do some f#$%ing recording.
[08:07] <glyn> disconnected somehow
[08:07] <glyn> hoary is all the works on my comp
[08:07] <fami_> dstaudt >_< wlan0 just appeared in ifconfig
[08:08] <glyn> I just arn a memtest and it somehow passed where before it failed though
[08:08] <Hansel> maybe I'm just lucky but my entire system works like a champ... :x
[08:08] <riotkittie> is there a way to enable mouse emulation (mouse keys with the number pad) in gnome? read a post on forums that suggested shift + ctrl + number lock but that really didnt work
[08:08] <newbieme> alright
[08:08] <glyn> where can I find a version of Edgy?
[08:08] <dstaudt> fami_ : doh!
[08:08] <cens0red> sorry about that.
[08:08] <newbieme> just off the ubuntu website?
[08:08] <newbieme> the reason it's not working is because you need the driver that's included in dapper and later
[08:08] <newbieme> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Spca5xx
[08:08] <glyn> Oh
[08:08] <newbieme> the spca5xx works with your cam
[08:09] <newbieme> you can try to install it on hoary...i imagine there's a package for it somewhere
[08:09] <adub> what is another good GUI irc client im not likeing x-chat
[08:09] <glyn> yeah there probably is but no one seems to remember anything lol
[08:09] <Feldegast> glyn or do a dist-upgrade if u have an older version
[08:09] <adub> i use to like it but the layout is awkward in newer versions
[08:09] <glyn> I can do a dist-upgrade without a CD from Hoary?
[08:09] <dstaudt> adub: i usually run mIRC under wine :)
[08:09] <Feldegast> adub i use konversation
[08:09] <newbieme> yeah
[08:09] <fami_> dstaudt Okay, I've been this far before. Now, as soon as I disable eth0 and eth1, my internet will drop completely. I have the correct Hex key and the proper ESSID already entered.
[08:10] <riotkittie> adub: awkward how?  i seem to recall it looking just like this when i first used it years ago
[08:10] <Feldegast> glyn it's not part of the cd....it's part of apt
[08:10] <fami_> dstaudt : right now I'm connected to the internets through a much weaker wireless card coming from a laptop wired to my Desktop. I'd rejoin the chat from the laptop but it's my brothers and I believe that it's currently password protected.
[08:10] <glyn> Oh, so I can upgrade to Egdy somehow from Hoary?  How?
[08:10] <glyn> this is vital information
[08:10] <glyn> lo
[08:10] <glyn> l
[08:10] <newbieme> sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:10] <glyn> thanks
[08:11] <newbieme> yep
[08:11] <quasar8888> what is Edgy ?
[08:11] <dstaudt> glyn: goood luck though.  if you want to save your sanity, I would recommend a fresh install of edgy
[08:11] <n2diy_> ! enter | glyn
[08:11] <ubotu> glyn: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:11] <newbieme> Edgy is the newest ubuntu release
[08:11] <riotkittie> edgy = ubuntu 6.10
[08:11] <glyn> lol it doesn't work
[08:11] <dstaudt> there was a lot of failed migration just from dapper to edgy
[08:11] <glyn> unmet dependencies
[08:11] <newbieme> haha
[08:11] <newbieme> go figure
[08:11] <newbieme> can you burn cd's at all, glyn?
[08:11] <toulouse> hey guys, any1 no a program to allow me to use a joystick as a second mouse?
[08:12] <glyn> No
[08:12] <toulouse> no programs for that?
[08:12] <toulouse> bummer
[08:12] <newbieme> well you could order free Dapper cd's from shipit, or there are ways to download the .iso and then mount it and install from your harddrive
[08:12] <dstaudt> it's linux, i'm sure it exists...somewhere.  the joy is in the hunt
[08:12] <newbieme> but that's probably more work than you'd be comfortable with
[08:12] <cens0red> maybe I'll try audio linux again when ubuntustudio comes out.
[08:13] <newbieme> so my suggestion is to find someone who can burn that cd for you
[08:13] <glyn> alright
[08:13] <quasar8888> how do I determine my ubuntu version ?
[08:13] <newbieme> edgy is leaps and bounds better than hoary...you'll love it
[08:13] <glyn> Thanks for the help I'll see what I can figure out
[08:13] <dstaudt> hoary is ancient :)
[08:13] <newbieme> quasar--try going to system >  about ubuntu
[08:14] <riotkittie> does the alternate install cd give you the option of not installing grub?
[08:14] <tommason> when I try to edit my httpd.conf I get an error that I do not have the proper permissions. How would I fix that so that my user has access to the /var/www directory?
[08:15] <fami_> tommason : chown should do it
[08:15] <dstaudt> riotkittie: no, not by default at least
[08:15] <fami_> tommason : I'm not sure what the precise command is, though. Check the man pages.
[08:15] <Feldegast> tommason add your user to the group that has permission?
[08:15] <Charlie-Brown> hi, have a couple questions?
[08:15] <riotkittie> bummer.
[08:16] <dstaudt> riotkittie: what are you trying to accomplish?
[08:17] <newbieme> charlie-brown, go ahead
[08:17] <newbieme> we've probably got 100 answers, 1 of which might work
[08:17] <newbieme> :)
[08:18] <jasin> hi
[08:18] <lupine_85> tommason: you want to add your user to the www-data group
[08:18] <adub> can someone help with a kismet.conf configuration i have an atheros card i have setup the suiduser but i need to setup the source=
[08:18] <riotkittie> dstaudt: nothing, really. i am thinking about moving partitions around and adding edgy to the mix
[08:18] <lupine_85> don't chown /var/www to your user if you can help it
[08:19] <jasin> Radar is better then Kismet
[08:19] <LetterRip> is there anyone who might be willing to upgrade blender to be able to handle arabic translations? ie someone who is a expert on that type of code?
[08:19] <riotkittie> i added a new distro last week and it took me nine hours to manage to get back into dapper. heh. <hangs head in  shame>
[08:19] <Charlie-Brown> yeah, I've been having issues getting internet to work on my laptop with Ubuntu since 6.06 came out, and I recently bought a Buffalo USB wireless adapter, however, I don't know how to set it up so that I can have the internet working on it. i'm typing from a different computer obviously
[08:19] <dstaudt> ow
[08:19] <whyameye> I have installed flash9 plugin from the dapper repos but firefox is not finding it.
[08:19] <aN1> quasar8888,  lsb_realease -a
[08:19] <fami_> ... I'm not recieving any DHCP offers when I run sudo ifup wlan0
[08:20] <Charlie-Brown> also, I wanted to use this laptop with Ubuntu on it to run as a dedicated server for a couple things including IRC, and I was wondering whether it would be better to use the Desktop version or the Server version
[08:20] <jasin> riotkittie, hehe
[08:20] <newbieme> charlie-brown, do you know what chipset your wireless card uses?
[08:20] <adub> what do i use for enablesources etc
[08:20] <aN1> quasar8888,  i mean lsb_release -a
[08:21] <newbieme> whyameye, just download the beta file and then put it into your plugins folder manually
[08:21] <whyameye> newbieme: which plugins folder do you suggest?
[08:21] <newbieme> http://othello.alma.edu/~07tmhopk/ubuntuhowto.html#flash9beta2
[08:21] <tommason> lupine_85: how do I add my self to the root group..
[08:21] <newbieme> in your home folder
[08:21] <Charlie-Brown> newbieme: umm, let me look it up, hold on
[08:22] <DARKGuy> Hey there and happy new year xD... I have a small question: I see sometimes there's some boot kernel lines like "vga=791" and I know they're like 1024x768x16 and stuff like that. When I boot my comp with that line, it says the video mode can't be set and it shows a list of col/row size (80x25, 80x40 and so on). What would be the kernel line to use if I want to select a size like that, and not a 1024x768 one, for example?
[08:22] <quasar8888> thenks aNI
[08:22] <quasar8888> I mean thanks aNI
[08:22] <james296> how can I run enlightenment with every application using the same skin the default theme uses?
[08:22] <james296> instead of the ugly grey theme
[08:22] <Charlie-Brown> newbieme: no, but i have the link of the specifics on it from where i bought it, if you'd like to see that
[08:23] <Charlie-Brown> would you?
[08:23] <newbieme> sure
[08:23] <Charlie-Brown> http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16833162130
[08:23] <Harkonnen20> Hey Im running the live cd of ubuntu 6.06, and was wondering how do I get access to my windows files
[08:23] <tommason> well I am already in the root group but I still can't edit anything in the /var/www/ directory.. Any suggestions.. ?
[08:23] <Harkonnen20> read only access is fine
[08:23] <james296> well?
[08:23] <Harkonnen20> NFTS also
[08:24] <quasar8888> aNI which printer do you use ?
[08:24] <Feldegast> tommason what user owns the directory?
[08:24] <tommason> root
[08:24] <Feldegast> and what are the permissions? 770?
[08:25] <seanj> wow, now I can't even mount a CD-ROM
[08:25] <newbieme> whyameye, did you get it working?
[08:25] <dstaudt> Harkonnen20, 'ntfs-3g' is what you are looking for, though i tried it last week and couldn't get it to work
[08:25] <tommason> hmm.. let me see.. sounds about right.. <-- = newb
[08:25] <aN1> quasar8888,  i have hp printer
[08:25] <newbieme> there's a README file in the folder you downloaded that'll tell you just where to put it
[08:25] <aN1> and my name is an(one0
[08:25] <mvfeinstein> can anyone here help me configure my keyboard media buttons?
[08:25] <fami_> Does anyone have any ideas on why wlan0 isn't getting any DHCP offers?
[08:25] <Harkonnen20> dstaudt i dunno what that is
[08:25] <Harkonnen20> I would just like to view the files
[08:25] <aN1> quasar8888,  type dat so msg is highlited easier for me
[08:26] <whyameye> newbieme: not yet. Still finding the download...
[08:26] <dstaudt> Harkonnen20, it is a package and command-line tools.  unfortunately I'm not aware of any easy/GUI way
[08:26] <newbieme> fami_ did you check your /etc/network/interfaces and /etc/iftab files to make sure it's showing up with the right MAC?
[08:26] <dstaudt> google, or search ubuntuforums.org for a how-to
[08:26] <newbieme> whyameye--alright, lemme know when it's done
[08:26] <riotkittie> wait. you just want to mount the file sys right, Harkonnen20 ??
[08:27] <Harkonnen20> yes
[08:27] <Harkonnen20> just to poke around with some files, open em up and stuff
[08:27] <adub> anyone familar with kismet settings for atheros card

[08:27] <Charlie-Brown> so, any clue as to the chipset?
[08:27] <newbieme> yeah
[08:28] <newbieme> there's an open source driver for it
[08:28] <newbieme> http://rt2x00.serialmonkey.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
[08:28] <riotkittie> Harkonnen20, >> try something like "sudo mkdir /media/win && sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/win"
[08:28] <quasar8888> aNI how do I highlight text ?
[08:28] <newbieme> your chipset is the ralink rt2500
[08:28] <Olathe> Does anyone know of any console fonts that are less than eight pixels wide ?
[08:28] <Harkonnen20> im on a live session btw
[08:28] <fami_> newbieme No, lemme try that and see what's happening.
[08:28] <riotkittie> replacing /dev/hda1 with whatever the proper drive and partition are
[08:28] <Charlie-Brown> so i should put that onto my usb stick, copy it onto my ubuntu laptop, and install that driver into ubuntu and it'll work, newbieme?
[08:29] <aN1> quasar8888,  lol u typed my name wrong if u type it correctly it auto does it
[08:29] <aN1> quasar8888,  my name is an(ONE)
[08:29] <Harkonnen20> i can make directories on a live session?
[08:29] <dstaudt> riotkittie, cool!  it mounted, but i can't even browse it due to permissions..?
[08:29] <aN1> quasar8888,  yeah i no itz hard to read
[08:29] <newbieme> you shouldn't need to put anything on your usb stick
[08:29] <aN1> sorri
[08:29] <newbieme> just install it in ubuntu
[08:29] <glyn> hey, back for more help
[08:29] <quasar8888> aN1 OK
[08:29] <newbieme> then maybe restart, and it should work
[08:30] <tommason> how do I edit the permissions for that directory?
[08:30] <glyn> ever since I installed Ubuntu, my computer won't detect CD roms and it won't even detect a boot CD
[08:30] <glyn> how do I fix this?
[08:30] <aN1> quasar8888,  yeah my printer is hp 5440
[08:30] <Charlie-Brown> newbieme: i'd have to put it into my usb stick in order to put it on my laptop, since my laptop can't access the internet
[08:30] <aN1> quasar8888,  wuts up?
[08:30] <glyn> I went to setup and put boot cd room first but nothing happens
[08:30] <fami_> newbieme : the MAC address seems to be correct in iftab, but all I see in interfaces is my ESSID and hex key
[08:30] <riotkittie> dstaudt, >> try something like chmod 755 <dir>
[08:30] <dstaudt> glyn: sounds like your cdrom is not working, or got disconnected
[08:30] <newbieme> ah, yeah charlie-brown, my bad
[08:30] <Charlie-Brown> s'alright
[08:30] <newbieme> but yeah, just install it on ubuntu and your card should work
[08:30] <glyn> I tried a bunch of different boot cds
[08:30] <Charlie-Brown> awesome
[08:30] <quasar8888> aN1, was it difficult to install ?
[08:31] <newbieme> glyn, does it see cd's after you boot, or is it just a boot issue?
[08:31] <Harkonnen20> riotkittie i will let you know if it works
[08:31] <glyn> it doesn't see it before or after
[08:31] <dstaudt> riotkittie, failed due to read-only file system!
[08:31] <riotkittie> glyn, >> is your bios set to boot form CD?
[08:31] <aN1> quasar8888,  no i didn't have to do anything
[08:31] <glyn> it's set to boot the CD first yeah
[08:31] <aN1> quasar ubuntu like detects it
[08:31] <newbieme> fami, um...
[08:32] <Charlie-Brown> i have a couple other questions. which would be better in terms of interface to use as a dedicated server for IRC & gaming; ubuntu desktop or ubuntu server (linux noob here). and finally, is there a way to update from 6.06 to Edgy without having to DL another torrent of the newest release? Like, can I just update from in Ubuntu itself
[08:32] <newbieme> fami_ delete the extra stuff in your interfaces file
[08:32] <quasar8888> an1,Thanks
[08:32] <mbuf> any links to setting and testing Perl CGI on Ubuntu with apache2 ? i'm new to apache
[08:32] <newbieme> auto wlan0
[08:32] <newbieme> iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[08:32] <mbuf> have installed apache2, php-4 and php works
[08:32] <aN1> quasar8888,  np
[08:33] <newbieme> that's basically all you want right now, get rid of the essid lines and everything else for your wlan
[08:33] <glyn> does it have to be mounted or something?
[08:33] <glyn> it was working fine before ubuntu
[08:33] <Angelus> !virus
[08:33] <ubotu> A/V software is available, however read this to understand why Linux does not have a virus problem: http://librenix.com/?inode=21
[08:33] <dstaudt> Charlie-Brown, i would probably go with desktop.  server would be recommended if you did not need/want a GUI - i.e. low-power pc
[08:33] <Charlie-Brown> ah, i see, alright
[08:33] <fami_> newbieme : so delete auto wlan- and iface wlan0 inet dhcp?
[08:33] <jasin> clamTK is the bets virus scanner for linux
[08:33] <riotkittie> dstaudt, did you try the last one with sudo ?
[08:33] <jasin> best*
[08:33] <newbieme> no no no, you want to keep that
[08:33] <Charlie-Brown> should I get the beta of the driver, or go w/ a lower version?
[08:33] <newbieme> but make sure that any other information for the card is gone
[08:34] <dstaudt> riotkittie, yes
[08:34] <newbieme> so if there's an essid, get rid of it
[08:34] <fami_> newbieme Wait, what am I supposed to delete from interfaces then?
[08:34] <dstaudt> Charlie-Brown, yes you should be able to upgrade from 6.06 to 6.10 in place via apt-get, i.e. 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get distupgrade'
[08:34] <aN1> jasin there are virus in linux?
[08:35] <Charlie-Brown> kk
[08:35] <newbieme> anything related to the hex or essid
[08:35] <newbieme> if it's just this stuff:
[08:35] <newbieme> auto wlan0
[08:35] <ronaldo> Charlie-Brown: yes you can update from dapper to edgy
[08:35] <newbieme> iface wlan0 inet dhcp
[08:35] <newbieme> then leave it and don't delete it
[08:35] <whyameye> newbieme: I copied libflashplayer: sudo mv /tmp/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox/plugins/. and I still have no flash...
[08:35] <ronaldo> without a full download
[08:35] <ronaldo> it's a matter of changing the apt sources
[08:35] <newbieme> whyameye, it's in your home folder, then /.mozilla/plugins
[08:35] <dstaudt> whyameye, search for and replace all occurrences of 'libflashplayer.so'
[08:36] <ronaldo> and apt-get update & & apt-get dist-upgrade && apt-get dist-upgrade
[08:36] <ronaldo> is't in the docu
[08:36] <dstaudt> there may be a couple
[08:36] <newbieme> whyameye, you might have to create the folder
[08:36] <whyameye> newbieme: I want all users to have access to flash, so shouldn't it be /usr/lib/...
[08:36] <tommason> how do you edit the permissions for a directory that is owned by root?
[08:36] <chris_> anyone with nvidia driver problems, go here, this script will get you up and running in just moments! http://albertomilone.com/nvidia_scripts1.html
[08:36] <Angelus> is it true that there is no need for virus protection?
[08:36] <Charlie-Brown> k
[08:36] <dstaudt> whyameye, yes, but if it's present in your user plugins folder too, it will over-ride
[08:36] <Charlie-Brown> as for my usb wireless card's driver, should I get the beta of the driver, or go w/ a lower version?
[08:37] <ronaldo> Angelus: I would still do sncanning if I was serving files over samba to windows machines
[08:37] <whyameye> dstaudt: but I am getting no flash at all, so what is overriding?
[08:37] <newbieme> ah, didn't know that, whyameye!
[08:37] <newbieme> sorry
[08:37] <Harkonnen20> riotkittie the command didn't work it said that it is already mounted or its busy
[08:37] <Charlie-Brown> like if i go with the beta, will i f*** stuff up by accident?
[08:37] <fami_> newbieme : forgive me for being so cautious, but I don't want to lose internets completely. The interfaces file has all kinds of crap related to my eth0 connection (which is what I'm using right now). So to be COMPLETELY sure: delete everything but auto wlan0 and wlan0 inet dhcp
[08:37] <ronaldo> Charlie-Brown: your milleage may vary
[08:37] <Harkonnen20> and i went to the location it said where it was and i can't view the contents don't have permissions
[08:37] <Angelus> ronaldo, I just surf the net and don't do that much on the computer, just home use
[08:37] <ronaldo> but it seems to be ok
[08:37] <Charlie-Brown> How do you mean ronaldo?
[08:37] <newbieme> fami_ nope!  you can leave everything
[08:37] <newbieme> but anything in your wlan area
[08:37] <newbieme> EXCEPT what i posted
[08:38] <newbieme> IF there is anything--get rid of it
[08:38] <newbieme> any essid or hex values or anything like that
[08:38] <ronaldo> then Angelus you should still be ok
[08:38] <fami_> newbieme : so just delete the ESSID and Hex values?
[08:38] <kuzmaster> hello everyone!
[08:38] <ronaldo> but you should alway care to look who's code you will be running
[08:39] <Angelus> beauty! :)
[08:39] <ronaldo> but in general everything you apt-get is a-ok
[08:39] <Angelus> thank you
[08:39] <ronaldo> from the central repo's
[08:39] <kuzmaster> how stable is ubuntu 6.10 edgy etf with networking and such?
[08:39] <newbieme> fami, yeah
[08:39] <pavan> my screen resolution is 1024 x 768 but its not coming in ubuntu can u help
[08:39] <riotkittie> Harkonnen20 >> i'm clueless then. i seem to recall my xp partition automounting and being fully readable when i was using the live CD
[08:39] <adub> how to i remove a repository i apt-get in
[08:39] <adub> apt-get remove?
[08:39] <dstaudt> kuzmaster, very, in my experience - though i understand some wireless functionality works better in dapper
[08:40] <whyameye> dstaudt, newbieme: if I put libflashplayer.so in ~/.mozilla/plugins, then it works. If I put it in /usr/lib/firefox/plugins it doesn't work. I don't really understand why...
[08:40] <fami_> newbieme : okay, now what?
[08:40] <pwilson> Interesting, I just found out why nvidia 6150 go won't work with non legacy drivers.
[08:40] <kuzmaster> dstaudt, well, when i used dapper, the wireless worked fine in kubuntu......
[08:40] <newbieme> whyameye, i don't understand either, it works fine for me...perhaps apt-get remove your previous version of flash?
[08:40] <kuzmaster> dstaudt, but, im just wondering how good it would be with ubuntu 6.10.....
[08:40] <newbieme> fami_, i'd install network-manager-gnome if you haven't already
[08:41] <pwilson> Because its a damn 430 mobile rebadged, what the hell kind of fresh hell is that?
[08:41] <newbieme> fami_ or -kde, if you're using kde, then restart
[08:41] <pavan> my screen resolution is 1024 x 768 but its not coming in ubuntu can u help
[08:41] <dstaudt> kuzmaster, try the live cd, maybe :)
[08:41] <kuzmaster> what are the major imporvements in edgy eft?
