[12:00] <Hulug_788> anyone know testdisk?
[12:00] <bradley_> any help would be greatly appreciated
[12:00] <MystaMax> so if i want to tar a directory, it'll be tar -cf "the directory"??
[12:00] <bradley_> i have the terminal prompt if that's any help
[12:00] <voraistos> ompaul:strange i really am getting excited of reinstalling ubuntu.
[12:00] <merriam> MystaMax: do it from the above directory instead.
[12:00] <bbrazil> bradley_: run startx, and look for the first EE line
[12:00] <RandolphCarter> bradley_: great :) do an 'lspci' and paste the results to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[12:00] <MystaMax> oh and then specify the directory
[12:01] <bradley_> bbrazil: thank you... let me try that
[12:01] <bbrazil> bradley_: you'll probably want 2>&1  | less
[12:01] <voraistos> ampaul: maybe because reinstalling ubuntu is not a waste of time, like with windows ?
[12:01] <ompaul> bradley_, do this  >>> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg <<< and choose "VESA" as the video card type you can do other work on it after you get X up and running, when you have that done do this >> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm start <<
[12:01] <Hulug_788> please help, i lost my data with kubuntu livecd installer! anyone can help me get the data back?
[12:02] <merriam> bradley_: you will probably be safe from that problem if you stick to stable releases -- until you change your video card.
[12:02] <voraistos> VESA? this guy is really looking bad
[12:02] <merriam> MystaMax: yes
[12:02] <dli> Hulug_788, you erased the whole disk?
[12:02] <ompaul> voraistos, no, if your introuble it is easy to get you back up and running not in a complex way then you can irc browse and other stuff all at the same time
[12:03] <Paul159190> Bradley l am in the same boat as you!
[12:03] <bradley_> ompaul: do i choose autodetect video hardware?
[12:03] <MacinMan> hey guys i just installed ubuntu and  x is in 640x480 i have a sis based motherboard sound works video is bad
[12:03] <ompaul> Paul159190, take that comment I made for bradley_
[12:03] <voraistos> ompaul: yeah, but the thing is if he is obliged to run in VESA mode, he really is in a bad position. lots of work for him.
[12:03] <MystaMax> Merriam: ok, I'm trying to tar a directory inside my /var/www  the directory is located at /var/www/intranet, I'm running the following command from /var/www  "tar -cf intranet intranet.tar"  but I'm getting an error
[12:03] <MacinMan> how can i fix this?
[12:03] <djtansey> does anyone know how to extract only one folder from a tar.bz2 file? i tried with Archive Manager but it seems to choke on such a large directory (my .evolution directory.)
[12:03] <Paul159190> l will try :)
[12:03] <amphi> djtansey: you could try with mc
[12:04] <voraistos> ompaul: however, the first time i used linux, i just installed debian in command mode !
[12:04] <bbrazil> djtansey: tar -xjf blah.tar.bz2 dirname (untested)
[12:04] <Managu> I'm having no luck in #ubuntu+1, so please forgive me for asking here:  I have the Desktop CD, and run through its installer, putting my root partition on /dev/hdb1.  When I reboot (from Primary Master), I get absolutely nothing.  When I reboot from Primary Slave, I get a Grub error 17 in stage 1.5
[12:04] <Hulug_788> dli, one partition... I see the data with testdisk... but when I select WRITE nothing happen...
[12:04] <djtansey> bbrazil: that will only extract the directory 'dirname' from the archive?
[12:04] <ompaul> bradley_, just go for it - assume yes to all questions your not really going for automatic here
[12:04] <merriam> MystaMax: the file must follow the "f".
[12:05] <djtansey> amphi: interesting proposal. haven't used mc for a long time.
[12:05] <bbrazil> djtansey: I think so, I've never actually done it
[12:05] <voraistos> ompaul: i didnt have any other computer, and was obliged to browse the internet with some strange 4 colors client. i even had a MSN client in text mode !
[12:05] <Flannel> Managu: booting from your primary does nothing, that'snormal, since you installed to hdb.  The grub error is what you need to troubleshoot.
[12:05] <djtansey> bbrazil: I will attempt it. thanks.
[12:05] <merriam> MystaMax: "f" means "to this file:".
[12:05] <bbrazil> djtansey: let me know if it works
[12:05] <Managu> Flannel: fair enough.  Any thoughts?
[12:05] <Hulug_788> dli: do you can help me?
[12:05] <djtansey> a general question: has anyone been having their system freeze when using nm-applet/network-manager?
[12:06] <MystaMax> merriam: thanks, i tried your suggestion and received the following tar: intranet.tar: cannot open: permission denied
[12:06] <Flannel> Managu: erm, well, it's a common problem.  Try googling, since that's what I'd do to be able to help you ;)
[12:06] <Managu> Flannel: mmkay
[12:06] <Senilix> djtansey: yes
[12:06] <MacinMan> so does anyone have any ideas about my video? i've run other linux distros and have  not had this issue
[12:06] <voraistos> Mystamax: did u try with sudo ?
[12:07] <jtd> so if I have postfix and mailx only installed, without courier or dovecot or anything like that, should I be able to send and receive mail?
[12:07] <merriam> MystaMax: you need to be root, and you need to check that you're not overwriting something important.
[12:07] <MystaMax> yep, its a permission issue, thanks voraistos i figured it out
[12:07] <bbrazil> jtd: yes
[12:07] <Flannel> Managu: what partition type is it? since, thats what 17 is, unable to mount selected partition.
[12:07] <MystaMax> merriam: thanks I'm not the admin of this particular box
[12:07] <bbrazil> jtd: courier and dovecot are for imap and pop
[12:07] <MystaMax> I'll have to wait till monday
[12:07] <Hulug_788> dli: ?
[12:07] <MystaMax> Merriam: u've been a great help!
[12:07] <jtd> bbrazil: can I tail my mail.info for you, put it in the pastebin, and maybe you can help me figure out why I can't send mail?
[12:07] <merriam> MystaMax: then specify another place for the file.
[12:07] <djtansey> Senilix: any word on a fix?
[12:07] <amphi> MacinMan: google might be your best bet
[12:08] <Managu> Flannel: xfs partition
[12:08] <bbrazil> jtd: sure, how are you trying to send it?
[12:08] <MystaMax> merriam: how do i do that?
[12:08] <Paul159190> guys, l am at the x server driver for graphics and l'm trying to find this 'vesa' driver its not on the list, is there another name 4 it?
[12:08] <dli> Hulug_788, explain again?
[12:08] <jtd> bbrazil: just with mailx.  I'll take care of dovecot after that :)
[12:08] <MacinMan> i can try that
[12:08] <bbrazil> jtd: I'd also like your main.cf
[12:08] <MystaMax> what flags do i send?
[12:08] <firebird619> Is there a command or something to use to reset all audio settings, GnomeRadio did something to really make the sound for anything to do with my TV Tuner sound terrible and full of static.
[12:08] <jtd> bbrazil: /etc/postfix/mail.cf?
[12:08] <bbrazil> jtd: yip
[12:08] <biovore> Paul159190: vesa is the name of the driver (in /etc/X11/xorg.conf)
[12:08] <jtd> awesome.
[12:08] <Flannel> Managu: erm, dapper has xfs support?
[12:08] <jtd> gimme one minute.
[12:09] <Hulug_788> dli: I can show my files with testdisk but dont write it back!
[12:09] <amphi> Flannel: should do
[12:09] <Hulug_788> dli: when I select WRITE and do a reboot nothing happens!
[12:09] <Hulug_788> dli: I think i do something wrong but dont know what...
[12:09] <merriam> MystaMax: I would do it like this, but use tab completion to make sure you're not overwriting a file you want:  cd /var/www; tar c intranet > ~/intranet.tar
[12:09] <jtd> !pastebin
[12:09] <ubotu> pastebin is, like, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269
[12:09] <Paul159190> Oh, is there not a name for it, l have a choice of 'ati, chips, fbdev, glint, imstt, mga, nv, riva128, s3, s3virge, savage, sis, tdfx, trident and vga'
[12:10] <bbrazil> Paul159190: vga is virtually gaurenteed to wprk
[12:10] <biovore> Paul159190: fbdev is probably it
[12:10] <bradley__> IT WORKED!!! Thank you!!
[12:10] <Flannel> Managu: apparently its a problem with grub and xfs support, at least, thats what I've found.  Either make /boot something else, or use lilo.
[12:10] <ompaul> Paul159190, try the end of the pile ....
[12:10] <bradley__> you guys are awesome!
[12:10] <Paul159190> lol
[12:10] <Flannel> Managu: you might check launchpad for a workaround.
[12:10] <Managu> Flannel: aye; I selected it from the partition types in the installer.  The thing that's throwing me for a loop is that the stuff I installed has no /boot/grub directory
[12:10] <amphi> Flannel: grub works fine with xfs here, FWIW
[12:10] <bradley__> ompaul: thanks to you for your help!
[12:10] <ompaul> Paul159190, the very very last one there is one more
[12:10] <Paul159190> Well l've tried, vga, mga, nv, fbdev
[12:10] <Paul159190> nope no more
[12:10] <bradley__> talk to you guys later
[12:11] <Flannel> amphi: then see if you can't help Managu ;)
[12:11] <AlmtyBob> ok, I have ubuntu installed on two drives, one was a bad install, even if I tell my bios to boot to the good drive, my bad install loads, how can I fix that?
[12:11] <biovore> Paul159190: this is tring to setup X?
[12:11] <Paul159190> yes
[12:11] <beligum> Hi all, I have the weirdest problem: after upgrading from breezy to dapper, my fscanf() c-code doesn't work anymore !!
[12:11] <ompaul> Paul159190, that is strange, what is the card you have?
[12:11] <biovore> Paul159190: what graphics card you have?
[12:11] <Hulug_788> dli: any idea?
[12:11] <Paul159190> lol, well you see here comes the problem. Its a very old 180mhz apple performa, l'm just playin around really, it doesn't have a manufacturer of type :S, so lm after a generic driver
[12:11] <bbrazil> biovore: hmm, have you tried recompiling the code?
[12:12] <Paul159190> l know that in its normally OS it can do 800x600 and 1024 @ 1000's of colours
[12:12] <bbrazil> beligum: hmm, have you tried recompiling the code?
[12:12] <bbrazil> biovore: sorry, bad tab completion
[12:12] <jtd> bbrazil: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13518 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13519 <-- mail.info and main.cf
[12:12] <voraistos> Paul159190: is it a mac ?
[12:12] <Paul159190> yes
[12:12] <beligum> bbrazil: yes
[12:12] <Hulug_788> dli: ?
[12:12] <iamcitizen> has anyone dual booted OSx86 and ubuntu?
[12:13] <bbrazil> jtd: ah, yahoo's mail servers have issues
[12:13] <AlmtyBob> can I somehow use the install CD to just wipe a drive?
[12:13] <voraistos> is there any mac guy around ?
[12:13] <Hulug_788> Hello? Nobody has experience with testdisk???
[12:13] <iamcitizen> i'm a mac guy
[12:13] <AlmtyBob> like is there something I can type at the "boot" prompt to get a command line so I wipe the drive?
[12:13] <bbrazil> jtd: try sending to<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:14] <Paul159190> well l'm gonna try any old driver, if it works it works if it don't l'll try ompauls command he stated before if that dont work restart and chose another driver! :)
[12:14] <voraistos> iamcitizen: looks like paul has got a mac graphic card and cannot set it up. do u know what it could be ?
[12:14] <|Sivik|> whats a good c compiler for this os?
[12:14] <beligum> bbrazil: here's what I get after scanning with fscanf("%f %f %f", &x, &y, &z)
[12:14] <bbrazil> |Sivik|: gcc
[12:14] <iamcitizen> what kind of graphic card
[12:14] <Hulug_788> Please help me :(
[12:14] <voraistos> iamcitizen: Paul159190 l know that in its normally OS it can do 800x600 and 1024 @ 1000's of colours
[12:14] <|Sivik|> i just installed gcc but i'm still getting "checking for C compiler default output file name ... confiure; error: C compiler cannot create executables
[12:15] <Paul159190> Its one of those old performa computers, graphics card unknown quite frankly, possibly motorola seeing as they made these processors
[12:15] <|Sivik|> what does that mean
[12:15] <beligum> bbrazil: the text in the file is: -10.0 100.0 0.0 and the ouput of the three variables is: -10.0 0.0 -0.000030
[12:15] <djtansey> Senilix: i just filed a launchpad bug for network-manager. number 43282. if you want to comment on it I think it would help make it clear that it is a real issue.
[12:15] <iamcitizen> you in Mac right now?
[12:15] <jtd> bbrazil: you're at TCD?  :)  I went to UCD for a semester.  we might have to fight now ;)
[12:15] <iamcitizen> or ubuntu
[12:15] <Paul159190> l am on my powerbook now and have the performa next 2 me
[12:15] <bbrazil> jtd: no point. i'd just win ;)
[12:15] <iamcitizen> oh
[12:15] <jtd> heh :D
[12:15] <|Sivik|> bbrazil: do you know what that error means?
[12:16] <iamcitizen> well, i'd say just google the model #
[12:16] <bbrazil> |Sivik|: you're cross compiling, have noexec set or selinux
[12:16] <iamcitizen> and see if there are any binary drivers
[12:16] <Hulug_788> :(
[12:16] <jtd> bbrazil: sent
[12:16] <iamcitizen> whats wrong hul
[12:16] <|Sivik|> bbrazil: well, i'm trying to instal wine but it doesn't seem to be working
[12:16] <djtansey> bbrazil: i'm curious to know the process the specific extraction takes. It sure is slow. I might just extract it all again and manually move the folder i want.
[12:16] <Paul159190> well so far l have tried about 4 drivers out of the 15 now trying ATI, just going to go thrugh em 1 by 1
[12:16] <dli> Hulug_788, sorry, I still couldn't understand why you are saying
[12:17] <Hulug_788> iamcritizen: i lost my data and nobody want help..
[12:17] <bbrazil> djtansey: that'll be bzip. It involves sorting data in 100-900k blocks
[12:17] <iamcitizen> haha paul
[12:17] <iamcitizen> well, that is what i'd ahve done
[12:17] <odat> ubuntu is great but xubuntu is friggin lighting
[12:17] <odat> wow
[12:17] <iamcitizen> no better solution, really
[12:17] <Hulug_788> dli: what do you dont unterstand?
[12:17] <Paul159190> which driver did you use iamcitizen?
[12:17] <dli> Hulug_788, what WRITE?
[12:17] <maher> where is the contents for the ubuntu live cd?
[12:17] <iamcitizen> Paul, what is the model #
[12:17] <Hulug_788> WRITE is an option in testdisk
[12:18] <Paul159190> Performa 5400/180
[12:18] <iamcitizen> i'll do some research
[12:18] <dli> Hulug_788, what testdisk?
[12:18] <Hulug_788> dli: data recovery tool...
[12:18] <djtansey> bbrazil: interesting. are there better ways to do compressed backups? (since i've had trouble just syncing the .evolution folder)
[12:18] <bbrazil> djtansey: rsync and cp -l are nice
[12:18] <BSA> hi all
[12:18] <bbrazil> djtansey: although that's low bandwidth rather than low disk space
[12:18] <Paul159190> lol ATI driver just failed :)
[12:19] <dli> Hulug_788, you want to recover partition?
[12:19] <iamcitizen> haha
[12:19] <amphi> djtansey: cp -a too ;)
[12:19] <maher> is netcat on the ubuntu live cd?
[12:19] <iamcitizen> 1 MB is maximum VRAM
[12:19] <Hulug_788> dli: yes..
[12:19] <djtansey> bbrazil: yeah. tried rsync -- borked on some of the weird filenames
[12:19] <iamcitizen> i don't think it will work, Paul
[12:19] <serp> how do I unrar in ubuntu
[12:19] <serp> ?
[12:19] <iamcitizen> that card has only 1 MB max VRAM
[12:19] <BSA> can anyone tell me if its possible to have linux and windows download them same bittorrent too a fat32 partition?
[12:19] <|Sivik|> serp: read the man for tar and i think you can do it through there
[12:19] <BSA> not at the same time
[12:19] <djtansey> amphi: i might try that. it preserves the ownership/etc.
[12:19] <bbrazil> amphi: cp -l makes hard links. Hacky way to do incremental backups
[12:20] <amphi> djtansey: yeah
[12:20] <serp> |Sivik|: it doesn't mention rar
[12:20] <amphi> bbrazil: ah ;)
[12:20] <dli> Hulug_788, so, you choose recovering partition table, and finished that step
[12:20] <Paul159190> ok l'm trying ompauls command
[12:20] <iamcitizen> k
[12:20] <bbrazil> jtd: is that gone from your mailq yet?
[12:20] <dli> Hulug_788, do you see the partitions in "fdisk -l" after that?
[12:20] <AlmtyBob> anyone got an URL for setting up GRUB?
[12:20] <sorcre> Hello, is it difficult to install ndiswrapper on Ubuntu?
[12:20] <Paul159190> ok i tried auto detect, it said it cudnt find any :(
[12:20] <jtd> bbrazil: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13520 I feel like postfix is maybe formatting the SMTP messages incorrectly and that's why it's timing out?  I'm sure that's ridiculous
[12:20] <jtd> bbrazil: how do I check?
[12:21] <iamcitizen> yeah, prob. wont work Paul
[12:21] <iamcitizen> get a crappy card of ebay or something
[12:21] <bbrazil> jtd: that's before it even does SMTP, we've gopt ourselves a network problem
[12:21] <Hulug_788> dli: I choosed the partition and select WRITE
[12:21] <bbrazil> jtd: telnet -4 spoon.netsoc.tcd.ie 25
[12:21] <jtd> bbrazil: okay.
[12:22] <ompaul> Paul159190, is it PPC or 68k
[12:22] <jtd> bbrazil: ... sure enough, it's timing out.
[12:22] <bbrazil> jtd: okay, try pinging that ip
[12:22] <Pr0hibited> can anyone tell me if this would  work? -> iptables -A INPUT -s aol.com -j DROP
[12:22] <Hulug_788> dli: yes I see with fdisk, but there are not the old data
[12:23] <jtd> bbrazil: 64 bytes from <IP_ADDRESS>: icmp_seq=4 ttl=47 time=112 ms
[12:23] <jtd> crap.  is my ISP blocking port 25 outgoing?
[12:23] <Hulug_788> dli: I want the data that I see with P in testdisk (list Files)
[12:23] <iamcitizen> no, jtd
[12:23] <luke> anyone know how I can install win32 codecs on an amd64 machine?
[12:23] <biovore> Pr0hibited: you would have better looking up AOL's netblock and just blocking that..
[12:23] <iamcitizen> well, unless they are insabe
[12:23] <dli> Hulug_788, can you mount the partition?
[12:23] <bbrazil> jtd: possibly, try port 80 on that server
[12:23] <jtd> well, think about it, iamcitizen
[12:23] <iamcitizen> only things blocked are 6881-6889, usually
[12:24] <jtd> why would I need port 25 as Joe User?
[12:24] <Hulug_788> dli: yes
[12:24] <biovore> luke: win32 codecs are for 64bit only :-(
[12:24] <iamcitizen> email
[12:24] <serp> how come I can't apt-get packages from multiverse even when I uncomment it in /etc/apt/sources.list ?
[12:24] <Hulug_788> dli: the partition exist but not with the data that I see with P
[12:24] <luke> biovore, you mean 32bit only?
[12:24] <biovore> luke: rgr
[12:24] <bbrazil> luke: you could create a 32bit chroot, and run whatever from there
[12:24] <jtd> bbrazil: port 80 works perfectly.
[12:25] <Paul159190> sorry it is PPC
[12:25] <biovore> luke: but there working on a 64bit version of it.. but it won't be out any time soon.
[12:25] <dli> Hulug_788, can you mount it?
[12:25] <bbrazil> jtd: It's probably your isp then. You might want to try tcptraceroute
[12:25] <luke> damn =/ im still regretting installing this as 64bit
[12:25] <iamcitizen> i cant imagine they are blocking SMTP though
[12:25] <Hulug_788> dli: yes that work
[12:25] <Paul159190> ompaul it is PPC, the command failed, l'm restarting to try a different driver
[12:25] <luke> biovore, alright, ill wait then I guess
[12:25] <merriam> luke: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=54399

[12:25] <merriam> luke: but I haven't tried it.
[12:25] <quidam> hello
[12:25] <bbrazil> Pr0hibited: what exactly is the problem
[12:25] <biovore> luke: the only thing you really need win32 codecs for is wmv and quicktime

[12:25] <jtd> dunno how to use tcptraceroute, gimme a sec

[12:26] <ompaul> Pr0hibited, don't do the language thing, thanks
[12:27] <Pr0hibited> Okay paul, sorry.
[12:27] <bbrazil> Pr0hibited: okay, what you want is mod_rewrite (assuming apache)
[12:27] <jtd> bbrazil: it looks like it stops at TCD's firewall
[12:27] <jtd> I'll pastebin that too
[12:27] <biovore> Pr0hibited: you can try iptables -A INPUT -s *.aol.com -j DROP  (my not work all the time though)
[12:27] <bbrazil> jtd: that's not good
[12:27] <Pr0hibited> Nooooo, I need to ban him from apache AND DigiChat
[12:27] <bbrazil> jtd: what abotu <IP_ADDRESS>?
[12:27] <Pr0hibited> There's a program he can use to connect to my chat and mess with it
[12:27] <luke> hehe merriam, ty
[12:28] <bbrazil> biovore: that won't work. iptables works by ip addresses
[12:28] <jtd> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13521
[12:28] <Hulug_788> dli: any idea how I can copy the old data to the partition?
[12:28] <biovore> bbrazil: yeah.. probably have to get there net blocks and block that
[12:28] <lsuactiafner> i have the dapper iso, i want to dist-upgrade, how do i add the iso into apt so i dont have to download the whole thing from the internet again?
[12:28] <jtd> dude
[12:28] <jtd> 25 is blocked at my dsl modem!
[12:28] <jtd> I didn't realize you could add a port to tcptraceroute
[12:29] <Pr0hibited> Biovore, I got: "iptables v1.3.1: host/network `*.aol.com' not found"
[12:29] <bbrazil> jtd: I should mention that tcptrceroute breaks somewhat when it hits tcd's firewall
[12:29] <biovore> Pr0hibited: yeah.. you will probably have to figure out what netblocks AOL owns..  you can look it up.. its public info
[12:29] <daryl> What is the command to install fakeroot?
[12:30] <lutra> sudo apt-get install fakeroot :)

[12:31] <daryl> RandolphCarter: what was that command you told me to do for fakeroot?  "fakeroot: command not found"
[12:31] <jtd> bbrazil: when I add port 25 to it it stops right at my dsl modem
[12:31] <amphi> iamcitizen: 1280x960 shurely
[12:31] <Seveas> heh, ok, ubuntu has it, but only in d-i

[12:34] <AlmtyBob> dunno if my isp blocks 443
[12:34] <AlmtyBob> but I wouldn't doubt it
[12:35] <amphi> iamcitizen: have a look at linux-laptop.net and/or tuxmobil.org for your laptop, perhaps
[12:35] <lutra> Seveas: cool...i thought about packaging for debian for some time
[12:35] <iamcitizen> k
[12:35] <iamcitizen> brb
[12:35] <wendigo> Calikke: chedck the crossover office website for supported app details

[12:35] <Paul159190> lutra, its a generic card unknown manufacturer
[12:35] <lutra> Paul159190: tried vesa?
[12:36] <Paul159190> vesa isn't on my list available :S :S
[12:36] <CaLikKe> wendigo will do it, thanks..
[12:36] <lutra> really?
[12:36] <merriam> iamcitizen: I had to fix that a while ago on a travelmate.  I needed 855resolution.  http://technophobe.net/Acer_TravelMate_2304WLMi_notes_Linux.html#video
[12:36] <Paul159190>  l have a choice of 'ati, chips, fbdev, glint, imstt, mga, nv, riva128, s3, s3virge, savage, sis, tdfx, trident and vga'
[12:36] <lutra> Paul159190: oh...not x86?
[12:36] <Paul159190> This is PPC
[12:36] <lutra> ah
[12:36] <amphi> Paul159190: you tried 'sis'? you said it was a sis card IIRC
[12:36] <LolaX> hello, i am having trouble with apt-get/synaptic it is telling me that is cannot stat the repositories can anyone help?
[12:37] <Paul159190> I have tried, ati, chips, fbdev, mga, nv, vga - so far none of them have worked
[12:37] <lutra> LolaX: have you messed around with sources.list?
[12:37] <Paul159190> l will try sis next amphi , but l never said it was a sis card :S :S
[12:37] <merriam> iamcitizen: this sort of thing really should be handled automatically by ubuntu, but there's a lot of other funny hardware out there...
[12:37] <amphi> Paul159190: ok; what does lspci say it is?
[12:37] <LolaX> no i havnt done anything since i last booted it was working last time
[12:37] <Paul159190> apple :) lol
[12:38] <lutra> LolaX:  wait a few minutes and retry...might just be your mirrors are down or something
[12:38] <LolaX> ok thank you
[12:38] <Paul159190> Because an apple computer doesn't use a PCI graphics card, its part of the chipset you see.. so it won't be shown anyway
[12:38] <lutra> LolaX: otherwise you could paste (at pastebin.com) your /etc/apt/sources.list file and let me take a look
[12:38] <amphi> Paul159190: ah... I thought macs were pci nowadays, or is this an ancient one?
[12:39] <wendigo> paul159190: lspci | grep VGA
[12:39] <LolaX> lutra: i just paste it into this webpage and put my name on it?
[12:39] <AlmtyBob> when I use some sourceforge VNC viewer to connect to my box through XP, it works fine, but when I use RealVNC viewer, the request goes through to my linux box, but RealVNC then says "connection unexpectedly closed" without showing me anything.  Anyone know what that problem is?
[12:39] <Paul159190> Definetely acient!!
[12:39] <lutra> LolaX: no need for your name

[12:46] <Kym>  sorry .. wrong key combo
[12:46] <lutra> LolaX: two ways either through synaptic or via command line
[12:46] <Kym> i blame it on the beer
[12:46] <lutra> LolaX: just add the 'multiverse' on the end of the lines
[12:46] <MrKeuner> is it for sure that new ubuntu will be out on June 1st or is another delay is still possible?
[12:47] <lutra> LolaX: alternatively you could copy/paste the sources.list file i made from pastebin
[12:47] <lutra> MrKeuner: looks like it should be a go by then
[12:47] <lutra> MrKeuner: i'm on dapper and it's pretty stable and looks pretty sharp
[12:47] <AlinuxSOS> bbrazil, :( nothing similar found.. no proxy entry.
[12:48] <lutra> Kym: stupid question but is the cd ejected maybe?
[12:48] <lutra> Kym: and did the installation go through without a hook?
[12:48] <bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: env | grep -i http
[12:49] <bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: any sign of proxy type stuff there?
[12:49] <MrKeuner> lutra/ beta2 is out right? is it the latest
[12:49] <AlinuxSOS> bbrazil,
[12:49] <AlinuxSOS> http_proxy=http://localhost:4001

[12:49] <AlinuxSOS> that's my output.
[12:49] <lutra> MrKeuner: the latest release yes
[12:50] <lutra> MrKeuner: but we can't talk about dapper here...we can in ubuntu+1 though
[12:50] <bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: do you have any idea where does are being set from? /etc/enviroment  or .bash_profile maybe?

[12:51] <kbrooks> Here is a easy question for everyone here.
[12:52] <AlinuxSOS> bbrazil, howto fix it? I don't understand your last message :)
[12:52] <bbrazil> trnc: you might also be interested in apt-zip (assuming it's still around)
[12:52] <lutra> kbrooks: ok
[12:52] <bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: did you try the quick fix?
[12:52] <AlinuxSOS> bbrazil, quick fix ?
[12:52] <AlinuxSOS> no idea :)
[12:52] <AlinuxSOS> how
[12:52] <paniq> dccprobe doesnt exist on my box, the vrate is fucked
[12:52] <paniq> what to do?
[12:53] <bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: 23:50 < bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: simple fix is to do http_proxy= HTTP_PROXY= sudo ...
[12:53] <r0xoR> synaptic won't let me install build-essential because it says: http://pastebin.com/702668
[12:53] <r0xoR> any ideas?
[12:53] <kbrooks> Would customizability of EasyUbuntu 3 be useful to anyone here?
[12:53] <AlinuxSOS> so I must type " http_proxy= HTTP_PROXY" ?
[12:53] <r0xoR> i used easyubuntu to install msttcorefonts... but i didn't use it to enable multiverse repos and now multiverse is enabled
[12:53] <AlinuxSOS> bbrazil, sorry I'm little bit confused
[12:53] <bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: yes, type that before your commands
[12:54] <r0xoR> kbrooks, heheh... an easyubuntu that didn't fubar up my repos so that i can't install build-essential would be nice :)
[12:54] <kbrooks> r0xoR: no, it isn't. the sources.list EasyUbuntu uses is self contained
[12:54] <AlinuxSOS> bbrazil, woow now it works :)
[12:54] <AlinuxSOS> now I can sudo apt-get update :D
[12:54] <bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: right, you'll want to figure out where those are being set
[12:54] <r0xoR> kbrooks, hmm, then why did synaptic all of a sudden end up with multiverse repos enabled after all i did was use easyubuntu to install msttcorefonts?
[12:54] <AlinuxSOS> and howto fix it for future logins ?
[12:55] <kbrooks> r0xoR: Please file a bug concerning this on Launchpad, and we will get straight to it
[12:55] <r0xoR> kbrooks, ok
[12:55] <r0xoR> meanwhile, is there any way to get back to the default sources.list that came with ubuntu?
[12:55] <kbrooks> r0xoR: ... yes

[01:04] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : uh. ok. thinking.
[01:05] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : HEY!!!!!!
[01:05] <sorcre> Flack: Yea, I should have probably ran that test earlier >.<
[01:05] <serp> I have 2 monitors. The right one is the primary one. Ubuntu's login screen comes on that and the start menu is on there. However, when I do things in full screen (from a mediaplayer or a game) it pops up on the left screen. How do I fix this?
[01:05] <Flack> sorcre: Meh, I never did :-P
[01:05] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : "MPEG-1 and MPEG-2 require mjpegtools or ffmpeg. MPEG-4 requires ffmpeg."
[01:05] <holden> I have Ubuntu Dapper (amd64 version) on a Sempron 3300+ processor. I'm using linux-amd64 generic. Does anyone think I could use linux-amd64-k8?
[01:05] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : that could be the ticket
[01:06] <SAM_theman> wait my sound is choppy
[01:06] <sorcre> Flack: Well, I meant earlier as in before I tried to install it again.... gor the 5th time :P
[01:06] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net/
[01:06] <lsuactiafner> i upgraded the x11 and now my bluetooth mouse aint responding anymoere
[01:06] <Flack> sorcre: ahahah
[01:06] <zcat[1] > mjpegtools is already the newest version.
[01:06] <zcat[1] > ffmpeg is already the newest version.
[01:06] <pvd2006> How can you resize a linux partition so its bigger wtihout messing it up? I have it set at like 10gigs but I want to set it to 60gigs.
[01:06] <zcat[1] > I have both. still won't work.
[01:07] <sorcre> Flack: Well thanks :D
[01:07] <osotogari> Hi, anyone know can i force ubuntu to eject my CD-ROM drive?
[01:07] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : binary distro?
[01:07] <dmbt> sudo eject
[01:07] <Promit> anyone worked with ViewVC?
[01:07] <zcat[1] > uh?
[01:07] <dmbt> osotogari: terminal, sudo eject
[01:07] <pvd2006> osotogari eject or unmount /cdrom...
[01:07] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : are you on a binary distribution?
[01:07] <Promit> i've set ViewVC up with Highlight, but I can't figure out how to change the style that Highlght uses when invoked from ViewVC
[01:07] <zcat[1] > i386
[01:08] <zcat[1] > I'm using i386 dapper beta2
[01:08] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : um
[01:08] <osotogari> Tried that guys but it says the device is busy, any ideas?
[01:08] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : hmmm.

[01:10] <apokryphos> !players
[01:10] <ubotu> I heard players is Audio/MP3 Players: amaroK, Banshee, Beep-media-player, JuK, Rhythmbox, XMMS ; Video players: Totem, Xine, Mplayer, VLC
[01:10] <lutra> Teleios: banshee!!!
[01:10] <kbrooks> zcat[1] : i give up.
[01:10] <Stormx2> Audacious isn't in there.
[01:11] <lutra> Teleios: or Listen
[01:11] <deefzi> could someone give a hand for a few quick tips for vmware workstation 5
[01:11] <lutra> definitely not Amarok :)
[01:11] <Teleios> hm
[01:11] <Stormx2> ubotu, players is Audio/MP3 Players: amaroK, Audacious, Banshee, Beep-media-player, JuK, Rhythmbox, XMMS ; Video players: Totem, Xine, Mplayer, VLC
[01:11] <ubotu> ...but players is already something else...
[01:11] <Stormx2> So?
[01:11] <Teleios> do any of these work with firefox to play mp3s in browser
[01:11] <kbrooks> Stormx2: "no,"
[01:11] <apokryphos> Teleios: amaroK is probably the most popular.
[01:11] <Stormx2> ubotu, no, players is Audio/MP3 Players: amaroK, Audacious, Banshee, Beep-media-player, JuK, Rhythmbox, XMMS ; Video players: Totem, Xine, Mplayer, VLC
[01:11] <ubotu> okay, Stormx2
[01:11] <voraistos> hey i downloaded the latest ubuntu build, how do i checksum it ?
[01:11] <_jason> !players =~ s/Rhythmbox/quodlibet, Rhythmbox/
[01:11] <ubotu> OK, _jason

[01:12] <kbrooks> pvd2006: yes
[01:12] <pvd2006> without damaging the linux partition file system.
[01:12] <Teleios> well now I'm getting mixed feedback on amaroK
[01:13] <ircbrowser99> !players
[01:13] <apokryphos> Teleios: where?
[01:13] <ubotu> players is, like, totally, Audio/MP3 Players: amaroK, Audacious, Banshee, Beep-media-player, JuK, quodlibet, Rhythmbox, XMMS ; Video players: Totem, Xine, Mplayer, VLC
[01:13] <osotogari> amarok, is ok. Crashes a lot for me
[01:13] <apokryphos> osotogari: what version?
[01:13] <pvd2006> Looks like its not detecting my hard drive partitions, hmmm.
[01:13] <kkathman> hey apokryphos :)
[01:13] <dli> pvd2006, ext3 can be safely resized
[01:13] <apokryphos> hi there ;-)
[01:13] <yipe> hi
[01:13] <russellc> hey, does anyone here use the lx5 with ubuntu?
[01:14] <russellc> i'm talking about the logitech lx5 mouse :P
[01:14] <osotogari> apokryphos: dunno the exact version and I'm away from my desktop ATM, i think its 1.3.8 or something like that
[01:14] <sstchur> I just installed Dapper, and I'm having some problems when I try to use synaptic package manager to install amarOK.  It keep barking at me about unresolvable dependencies, and I'm not sure how to get around it.  Can anyone help?
[01:14] <apokryphos> osotogari: best to update to more recent ones, as listed on kubuntu.org
[01:15] <osotogari> apokryphos: do i have to compile my own or can i get the update using apt-get?
[01:15] <apokryphos> osotogari: there's a repository with it, yup.
[01:15] <apokryphos> !listvalues amarok
[01:15] <ubotu> Factoid search of 'amarok' by value (4 shown): amarok ;; latest amarok ;; players ;; amarok 1.3.7.
[01:15] <apokryphos> ubotu: latest amarok
[01:15] <ubotu> Latest amaroK packaged for Kubuntu is amaroK 1.4 beta 3: http://kubuntu.org/announcements/amarok-1.4beta3.php
[01:15] <apokryphos> there =)
[01:16] <osotogari> Kudos man, thanks :)
[01:16] <lutra> sstchur: you should ask in #ubuntu+1
[01:16] <Hexidigital_> hi guys... i'm having lots of trouble installing my wireless driver using ndiswrapper
[01:17] <Hexidigital_> when i run "ndiswrapper -l", it tells me the hardware is present, driver is present.. however, i cannot get it to connect
[01:17] <jeffz> hi, does the dapper(beta) livecd come witih mysql?
[01:17] <apokryphos> no
[01:17] <jeffz> darn.
[01:17] <RandolphCarter> Hexidigital_: sudo insmod ndiswrapper
[01:17] <RandolphCarter> Hexidigital_: ?
[01:17] <sstchur> Lutra, how do I do that?
[01:17] <_jason> jeffz: you can still install it afaik
[01:18] <Hexidigital_> RandolphCarter: no such file or directory
[01:18] <Hexidigital_> ...
[01:18] <jeffz> _jason: i want to run a livecd on 50 machines, i don't want to download mysql 50 times
[01:18] <lutra> sstchur:  type /j #ubuntu+1
[01:18] <jeffz> _jason: it's a one off, distributed sql project
[01:18] <_jason> jeffz: yes, good point... there is a guide to customizing a livecd somewhere but that may be too much work too
[01:18] <derrick> guys, where is the "make" program in the Ubuntu system?
[01:19] <_jason> derrick: install build-essential
[01:19] <Hexidigital_> RandolphCarter: any idea how i can fix that "not found" problem?
[01:19] <kenzi> ./cdrom/pool/main/m/make
[01:19] <derrick> ok great, thanks
[01:19] <arcade> Hmm.. I've got this webcam I bought today.. and I'm having trouble getting it to work with Ubuntu.  A Phillips SPC900NC.  Supported by some third party drivers, but don't seem to be in the mainline kernel yet.
[01:19] <jeffz> _jason: yeah, i'll look to see if there are any other distros that have mysql 5 ontheir livecd.
[01:19] <jeffz> _jason: thanks
[01:19] <RandolphCarter> Hexidigital_: something's up then, there should be an ndiswrapper kmod
[01:19] <RandolphCarter> try running through the instructions on http://ndiswrapper.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Ubuntu#6_-_Autoloading_2
[01:19] <_jason> is there a server livecd?
[01:19] <Hexidigital_> thanks, RandolphCarter
[01:19] <arcade> The patches should compile cleanly against a recent linux kernel .. or you can compile it as a module .. but I need to get the kernel sources or kernel headers installed.
[01:19] <arcade> or maybe both.
[01:19] <arcade> dunno.  Ideas?
[01:20] <dli> _jason, any reason to use ubuntu for server? why not debian?
[01:20] <AlinuxSOS> which file I must edit, to have an execuded command at the start ?
[01:20] <Tarantulafudge> I need to repair on mp3 with a bad frame, either to delete it or fix it or whichever, how can I do this?
[01:20] <arcade> dli: Debian is mostly out of date.
[01:20] <jeffz> dli: Ubuntu is better maintained.
[01:20] <_jason> dli: just curious if one exists, I'm not going to actually use it
[01:20] <arcade> dli: Well, I don't know what the current situation with Debian stable is.. but I left debian when potato came out and was out of date. ;)
[01:20] <dli> AlinuxSOS, ~/.gnome2/session , for gnome
[01:20] <AlinuxSOS> dli, and in general?
[01:21] <AlinuxSOS> I remmeber something like .r
[01:21] <dli> _jason, ubuntu targets desktop
[01:21] <AlinuxSOS> it's a terminal command.
[01:21] <zcat[1] > damn, kino almost looked like it was going to work this time too: 'failed to load media file' :-(
[01:21] <MacinMan> hey guys i've been trying to troubleshoot my video issues in ubuntu, i have full color  but my resolution is stuck in 640x480 i have a sis based intergrated video chipset?> i need help with this
[01:21] <dli> AlinuxSOS, there's no such "general"
[01:21] <Tarantulafudge> anyone?
[01:21] <_jason> jeffz: http://cdimages.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-server/daily-live/20060505/ might want to burn one of these and see
[01:21] <jeffz> _jason: maybe.
[01:22] <AlinuxSOS> http_proxy=HTTP_PROXY
[01:22] <Tarantulafudge> Actually debian is a great server, ubuntu installs a bunch of worthless stuff on the server install for some reason
[01:22] <AlinuxSOS> I need this parametter evry session
[01:22] <blazemong> btw can someone try the prboom package in the repositories and see if it freezes their machine?
[01:22] <MacinMan> in fact ubuntu is the only thing that doesn't work right with my hardware
[01:22] <Tarantulafudge> I wanted to use ubuntu, but I just stoped when it loaded alsa in init
[01:22] <Hexidigital_> RandolphCarter: just glancing through, i see steps i have not done...
[01:22] <Hexidigital_> RandolphCarter: thanks for your help, once again
[01:23] <_jason> AlinuxSOS: is that for apt proxy?
[01:23] <AlinuxSOS> bbrazil, thank you for: http_proxy=HTTP_PROXY
[01:23] <AlinuxSOS> yes
[01:23] <_jason> AlinuxSOS: did setting it up in apt.conf not work?
[01:23] <AlinuxSOS> I must digit every time it for use apt-get
[01:23] <_jason> !apt_proxy
[01:23] <ubotu> apt_proxy is, like, totally, for Apt via a http proxy, make a file called apt.conf in /etc/apt and put this in it...     Acquire::http::Proxy "http://PROXYADDRESS:PORT";
[01:23] <AlinuxSOS> _jason, howto set it ?
[01:23] <bbrazil> AlinuxSOS: http_proxy= HTTP_PROXY=
[01:24] <RandolphCarter> Hexidigital_: no problem :)
[01:24] <MacinMan> does ubuntu have a utility to manually select drivers an the monitor type?
[01:24] <Quincy> anyone know a good, step-by-step thread for a noodi to follow to install mplayer with ALL common codecs?
[01:24] <Quincy> sorry, noobi!
[01:24] <AlinuxSOS> sonic2,  I edit apt.conf, and add the "line http_proxy=HTTP_PROXY="
[01:24] <Tarantulafudge> MacinMan, xorg.conf?
[01:24] <AlinuxSOS> oops
[01:24] <bbrazil> MacinMan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg (iirc)
[01:24] <dli> MacinMan, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg , ask ubotu about resolution
[01:24] <Promit> ViewVC? anyone? i need some assistance
[01:24] <AlinuxSOS> ubotu, I don't want to use proxy
[01:24] <ubotu> AlinuxSOS: parse error: Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[01:25] <dli> Quincy, read docs at mplayerhq.hu
[01:25] <Promit> i'm using highlight with viewvc and can't figure out how to change highlight's style
[01:25] <_jason> AlinuxSOS: what do you mean?
[01:25] <Tarantulafudge> anyone know how to fix a bad mp3/
[01:25] <AlinuxSOS> for use apt-get, I need to digit every time http_proxy=HTTP_PROXY
[01:25] <dli> AlinuxSOS, "man apt.conf"
[01:25] <_jason> AlinuxSOS: what ubotu said should work too, if you want to use that method though you can put it in your ~/.bashrc
[01:26] <pvd2006> qtparted is not giving me the optiont o resize neither my linux ext3 partition nor my windows NTFS partition.
[01:26] <pvd2006> It is just greyed out.
[01:26] <arcade> How do I install the kernel sources in ubuntu?
[01:26] <AlinuxSOS> _jason, ok I've created ~/.bashrc and putted inside "http_proxy=HTTP_PROXY"
[01:27] <_jason> AlinuxSOS: I'm not even sure how that works, but you may want to start the line with 'export '
[01:27] <SecareLupus> Anyone know a decent DVD authoring program?
[01:28] <AlinuxSOS> _jason, it seams working without export.
[01:28] <AlinuxSOS> _jason, is no :) I'll change :)
[01:28] <_jason> AlinuxSOS: k
[01:28] <dli> _jason, apt.conf or apt.conf.d allows you to specify proxy
[01:28] <paradizelost> hey, anyone know where i can get libdivx4linux anymore?
[01:28] <_jason> dli: I informed him of that first
[01:28] <AlinuxSOS> _jason, dli thank yoU :)
[01:28] <Marcabru> Hello
[01:29] <AlinuxSOS> boys, I heard that there will be 2 types of kernels for dapper, faster to boot and another standart.
[01:29] <AlinuxSOS> is it true or i dont' understand something :)
[01:30] <SecareLupus> 2 kernels? I havn't heard anything about that
[01:30] <dli> AlinuxSOS, why not build your own? faster and smaller
[01:30] <mythica> RandolphCarter, U there?
[01:30] <SecareLupus> but, knowing me, I might've missed big news
[01:30] <AlinuxSOS> dli, :) no thanks I'm newbie
[01:30] <mythica> RandolphCarter, I am having these X problems again, after I rebooted
[01:30] <paradizelost> hey, anyone know where i can get libdivx4linux anymore?
[01:30] <AlinuxSOS> maybe in the near future :)
[01:30] <Marcabru> LOL, I can hardly handle ubuntu... my first day...
[01:30] <AlinuxSOS> so there will not be 2 types of kernels :D
[01:30] <SecareLupus> but Dapper looks sweet, I can't wait until June to upgrade
[01:30] <RandolphCarter> mythica: I thought that might happen, to fix it temporarily you just need to type in "export DISPLAY=:0"
[01:31] <dli> SecareLupus, you can upgrade now, ask ubotu about dapper upgrade
[01:31] <RandolphCarter> mythica: but I'd search your .bashrc and .bash_profile files for export DISPLAY= lines, and replace them with "export DISPLAY=:0"
[01:31] <mythica> RandolphCarter, I tried that, no go
[01:31] <dli> Marcabru, ask your questions
[01:32] <dli> Marcabru, you need to forgot silly ways of windows, if that's where you are from
[01:32] <Marcabru> I have too many questions right now....  I am watching text and thinking
[01:32] <mythica> RandolphCarter, Generates: Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server  &  Xlib: Invalid MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE-1 key  &  xhost:  unable to open display ":0"
[01:32] <lampshade> What does it mean if I can see lines fluxuating across my LCD screen on my laptop?  Does that mean the refresh rate is too high or too low?
[01:32] <Marcabru> I have been trying to get to Linux for YEARS
[01:32] <RandolphCarter> mythica: you need to do 'xhost +' as yourself first then :)
[01:32] <lampshade> I'm assuming too low
[01:32] <mythica> RandolphCarter, Ok I am checking now
[01:32] <mythica> RandolphCarter, Thanks
[01:32] <Marcabru> and I am FINALLY here...  but this aint easy yet...
[01:32] <RandolphCarter> mythica: np
[01:32] <dli> Marcabru, for example?
[01:33] <Marcabru> For example I wanted to change my keyboard to spanish
[01:33] <isai> Hi. I just installed an old version of ubuntu on my computer and now it tells me to update to breezy. How would I go about doing that? I already did apt-get dist-upgrade.
[01:33] <Marcabru> and it doesn-t seem to want to take
[01:33] <Marcabru> I went to preferences
[01:33] <jramsey> trying to build the vanilla kernel from kernel.org and make xfconfig yields Unable to find the QT installation; any idea where the QT pkg is?
[01:33] <Marcabru> picked up spanish... and nothing happened
[01:33] <jtd_> isai: did you change your /etc/apt/sources.list from hoary to breezy?
[01:34] <isai> no..should I?
[01:34] <TiG4> --Does anyone know of a program that will record whatever is playing through my speakers to an MP3 or WAV or other file?--
[01:34] <jtd_> yes.  all the lines in that file that say "hoary" should be changed to "breezy."
[01:34] <maher> TiG4: vsound
[01:34] <jtd_> then do a sudo apt-get update, then a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.
[01:34] <vinboy> hi
[01:35] <vinboy> how do I save my naitilus view settings as default?
[01:35] <isai> jtd_: okay, thanks!
[01:35] <TiG4> maher: will it work with ALSA?
[01:35] <jtd_> no problem :)
[01:35] <voraistos> hey pls smo tell how to checksum an iso file ?
[01:35] <jramsey> anyone know the pkg name for QT, the x pkg?
[01:35] <maher> TiG4: definitely yes if alsa has oss emulation - otherwise don't know
[01:35] <dli> Marcabru, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDCustomizationHowTo
[01:35] <jtd_> is anyone here familiar with the Postfix guide on the Wiki?  or just configuring postfix and Dovecot in general?
[01:35] <Marcabru> thank you Dli
[01:36] <jramsey> !QT
[01:36] <ubotu> Qt is the Q-toolkit. Qt is to KDE what GTK is to GNOME. For the Qt includes, install the libqt3-mt-dev package
[01:36] <TiG4> maher: Thanks so much!
[01:36] <isai> voraistos: just a regular or some or md5sum?
[01:36] <voraistos> it is for the ubuntu CD
[01:36] <jtd_> because there appear to be errors in the postfix guide and in the dovecot guide.
[01:37] <dooglus> voraistos: just run "md5sum <file.iso>"
[01:37] <isai> voraistos: $md5sum file.iso
[01:37] <mcsteels> #gentoo
[01:37] <voraistos> isai: ok thx
[01:37] <corri> hi
[01:37] <jtd_> specifically, the postfix guide tells you to make changes to smtpd.conf, which doesn't exist, and the dovecot guide tells you to use .pem files which are supposedly created by the installer (but aren't really).
[01:38] <MacinMan> ok guys rand the reconfiguration tool, all my hardware is picked up correctly, but i'm still stuck in 640x480 60 mhz

[01:41] <dli> ompaul, where is the ubuntu keymap howto?
[01:41] <Marcabru> dli... I went there...  and did it and it Won-t take when I use the writer program
[01:41] <Marcabru> when I use open office its not taking
[01:41] <isai> kyoLptp': mplayer
[01:41] <Marcabru> I even removed the english and left the spanish and checked it
[01:42] <Marcabru> and the keyboard stays the same
[01:42] <willwork4foo> hiya...can anyone point me in the right direction for learning how to edit my keyboard charmap? I've got a UK mac iBook with Ubuntu 5.10 breezy on it, and I am lacking a hash key
[01:42] <daryl__> thanks
[01:42] <ompaul> dli, no idea but the program is here: System preferences keyboard
[01:42] <Marcabru> ompaul... yep
[01:42] <dli> ompaul, that changes X keymap or the system default?
[01:43] <roostishaw> hello, how do i make it so that a bash script (in my home directory) will run when i type in 'namehere' in the terminal?
[01:43] <Marcabru> under layouts
[01:43] <isai> KyoLptp`: to be honest I have not tried the ubuntu versions. I compiled from CVS. but it works much better that way anyways.
[01:43] <roostishaw> namehere meaning the name of the script
[01:43] <Marcabru> brb
[01:43] <Marcabru> I-ll keep trying
[01:43] <dli> Marcabru, check help there, I think you can get it there
[01:43] <ompaul> dli, also >> sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg << can do things for fonts that is useful
[01:43] <Marcabru> ok
[01:43] <isai> willwork4foo: just a question: did you get the Airport wireless working?
[01:43] <Marcabru> ty
[01:43] <dli> ompaul, that's still for X only?
[01:43] <Marcabru> AFK
[01:44] <ompaul> dli, sorry at 00:43 not firing on all cylinders
[01:44] <willwork4foo> isai, not yet - but I'm going to do that once I get my fscking hash key
[01:44] <willwork4foo> I am fairly confident I'll manage to get the wifi working
[01:44] <willwork4foo> but I want my hash key first
[01:45] <dooglus> roostishaw: 1) chmod +x namehere 2) put namehere somewhere that's in your $PATH.  I suggest making a ~/bin directory, putting it there, and having "PATH=~/bin:$PATH" in your .bashrc
[01:45] <isai> willwork4foo: sorry can't help you out on the keyboard...
[01:45] <harisund> People, could you give me a quick link on how to setup a small apt repository? I want to setup a repository on my <IP_ADDRESS> machine and use it for some softwares whose .deb files are all I have :)
[01:45] <serp> when my apps do full screen, it pops up on my left (secondary) monitor. how do I change it so they pop up on the right (primary) monitor?
[01:45] <isai> I tried running ubuntu on an ibook and gave up because Airport wouldn't work.
[01:45] <dli> ompaul, http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/doc/maint/Maintenance-sysadmin.html
[01:45] <roostishaw> dooglus, where is .bashrc?
[01:46] <dooglus> roostishaw: in your home directory
[01:46] <dli> Marcabru, read the debian docs, http://www.infodrom.org/Debian/doc/maint/Maintenance-sysadmin.html
[01:46] <dooglus> roostishaw: nano ~/.bashrc
[01:46] <willwork4foo> isai, look at the latest rc3 kernel revision - there is support in there for the airport extreme
[01:46] <Viking667> Is there.... wow, tha's a lotta nicks!!! .... is there a pseudo-package that provides all the relevant xorg development stuff?
[01:46] <willwork4foo> isai, look on Gentoo's forums - there is a howto there for using it
[01:46] <dooglus> roostishaw: you'll have to run a new terminal before it will work
[01:46] <ompaul> dli, well ubuntu not gone for it all but the little lifesaver choose GNOME 2.10 Desktop Accessibility Guide and mouse and it may just set the stuff below
[01:46] <dnull> Anyone know anything about Ubuntu supporting the VIA VT8251 chipset, especially in regards to SATA?
[01:46] <isai> willwork4foo: vanilla kernel 2.6.x or ubuntu version?
[01:47] <SAM_theman> http://pastebin.com/702756
[01:47] <SAM_theman> help!!!
[01:47] <ompaul> dli, and the dpkg thing I think starts with setting the font for the base syste,
[01:47] <dooglus> Viking667: you can get all the dev packages you need by running "sudo apt-get build-dep gnome-terminal" (or whatever package you're trying to build)
[01:47] <dli> Marcabru, keymap must be handled during installation, otherwise how can you set it up without a functioning keyboard?
[01:47] <jramsey> harisund, did u check http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/286
[01:47] <isai> willwork4foo: hmm..thanks...I'll check into it after finals.
[01:47] <ompaul> SAM_theman, (A) we saw the URL and (B) please stop using the enter key where a comma will do
[01:47] <Viking667> dooglus: err, it's not a gnome package. It's actually a console package with an X component. (twin)
[01:47] <dli> ompaul, does ubuntu ask user about keyboard during installation?
[01:48] <willwork4foo> isai: I'm doing my final exams as well soon - the last exams for my entire degree!
[01:48] <roostishaw> dooglus, ok, what do i do once i have bashrc open?
[01:48] <ompaul> dli, right at the start
[01:48] <Viking667> dli: I think it does, yes
[01:48] <jramsey> willwork4foo, sounds like it's time for the next degree ;)
[01:48] <dooglus> Viking667: replace gnome-terminal with whatever package you want to build, or something with similar dependancies
[01:48] <ompaul> dli, second or third entry iirc
[01:48] <isai> willwork4foo: good luck... i still got 1 year to go :(
[01:48] <dli> ompaul, then, hard to handle dumb users
[01:48] <SAM_theman> ..
[01:48] <dooglus> roostishaw: add a line at the end saying: "PATH=~/bin:$PATH"
[01:48] <Viking667> dooglus: the problem is, the version of twin I'm building isn't IN the ubuntu database.
[01:48] <willwork4foo> jramsey: what do you mean?
[01:48] <ompaul> SAM_theman, have patience
[01:48] <ompaul> !patience
[01:48] <ubotu> The people in this channel are volunteers. Please be aware there are a lot of questions, but only maybe few who might know the answer for you. Please be patient. Your attitude may determine their willingness to help you.
[01:49] <Viking667> ... though I thank you for the idea, I'm not sure how the hell I'll apply it.
[01:49] <jramsey> willwork4foo, i mean, if BS, go for Masters .. if Masters, go for PhD ... if PhD, ur done!
[01:49] <willwork4foo> I'm going for a job interview in London on monday
[01:49] <dooglus> Viking667: it doesn't matter - it will have very similar dependancies
[01:49] <wizzlefish> for some reason the GAIM icon at the top panel is gone. how would I get it back?
[01:49] <Viking667> dooglus: mmmm. true.
[01:49] <roostishaw> dooglus, ok, and the script should be in 'bin' in my home directory?
[01:49] <dooglus> Viking667: just run "sudo apt-get build-dep twin"
[01:49] <rando1> good morng all :)
[01:49] <willwork4foo> I am going to work for a while to pay off debts, then go back and do a masters
[01:49] <dooglus> roostishaw: yes.  and you will need to "chmod +x" on it
[01:49] <ircbrowser99> good luck, willwork4foo
[01:49] <jramsey> willwork4foo,  remember it is hard to do a masters while working
[01:49] <willwork4foo> cheers
[01:49] <Viking667> dooglus: thanks. I was hoping to avoid that, but I guess that's what I'll have to do.
[01:49] <willwork4foo> it's for a Debian Linux SysAdmin job
[01:49] <dli> Viking667, I never had keyboard blocking me, because I always have debian installed with ssh (and public key), so I can always ssh login
[01:49] <roostishaw> dooglus, ok, and this wont screw with anything else?
[01:49] <willwork4foo> jramsey, I know that.
[01:50] <dooglus> Viking667: why avoid that?  that will install just the stuff you need to build twin
[01:50] <jramsey> willwork4foo, gl
[01:50] <Viking667> mmmmm.
[01:50] <dooglus> roostishaw: so long as you don't call your script the same as an existing command (like 'ls') it'll be fine
[01:50] <bosco> how do i extract a .rar file
[01:50] <dooglus> bosco: unrar
[01:50] <roostishaw> dooglus, ok, then i just run 'scriptname' ?
[01:50] <rando1> does anyone have any idea how i can prevent my hdd spinning down so frequently on a sony VAIO TX1 laptop?
[01:50] <bosco> kk thanks
[01:50] <isai> willwork4foo: doing a masters will working might not be bad depending on major. EE or CompE is usually paid by employer anyways.
[01:51] <dooglus> bosco: or "unrar-nonfree" if that doesn't work
[01:51] <ompaul> SAM_theman, where did you get that directory from?
[01:51] <lampshade> rando1, ummm laptop-mode might help
[01:51] <mythica> when I run xhost +localhost as root it just hangs
[01:51] <rando1> yeah, already running in laptop mode
[01:51] <willwork4foo> I am going to do Systems Administration as a Masters, I think
[01:51] <rando1> im running dapper flight 7
[01:51] <lampshade> hmmm I dunno then
[01:52] <willwork4foo> Operating Systems Management and stuff like that
[01:52] <dooglus> rando1: you could make a cron job which touches a file and runs 'sync' every minute I guess...
[01:52] <TiG4> maher: I get a wierd error when i try vsound
[01:52] <TiG4> About to start the application. The output will not be available
[01:52] <TiG4> until the application exits.
[01:52] <TiG4> Missing file ./vsound2
[01:52] <dooglus> rando1: it's a nasty hack, but it might well work
[01:52] <roostishaw> dooglus, ok, thank you!
[01:52] <rando1> but saying that, the slowness probem has been around since breezy
[01:52] <willwork4foo> My degree was Computing for Real-Time Systems - but I selected a large number of SysAdmin-related and networking-related stuff
[01:52] <rando1> dooglus: good call
[01:53] <rando1> nasty, yes, but if there is no other solution, its not a bad suggestion :)
[01:53] <RandolphCarter> willwork4foo: heh, 3 years into a Software Engineering degree and I'm itching to switch to Archaeology :( *sighs*
[01:53] <dooglus> rando1: you know how to make a cron job?
[01:53] <willwork4foo> lol
[01:53] <rando1> yeah no worries there
[01:53] <willwork4foo> I feel sorry for the guys at my university doing software engineering
[01:54] <willwork4foo> especially the guys who did the compiler design module
[01:54] <SAM_theman> ok i am
[01:54] <SAM_theman> back
[01:54] <ompaul> !offtopic
[01:54] <ubotu> Non Ubuntu support related discussions may be carried out in the channel #ubuntu-offtopic. Editor/Language wars are welcome there!
[01:54] <lampshade> RandolphCarter, 3 years into Comp E I switched to physics because I figured out that's what I loved more.  You aren't the only one anyway :-)
[01:54] <voraistos> hey guys, i have troubles writing an iso file with the nautilus integrated stuff, do you know why ?
[01:54] <isai> voraistos: go to a terminal. at shell type : md5sum filename.iso. Whatever number it gives you should match up with website.
[01:54] <rando1> dooglus: atleast i *think* thats what the problem is
[01:54] <willwork4foo> they had to write a compiler for a language called redbush - they had to write the compiler in java
[01:54] <NoobSauce> gnome-system-monitor says that I have 1 cpu when I actually have a dual-core CPU. Is this because I'm running an i386 kernel? Should I be running something else? Is it a but in the system-monitor? Is there someplace else I could check how many CPUs are detected?
[01:54] <Marcabru> thank you for the help...  I will continue trying...  I want to do everything possible to stay on Ubuntu and Linux
[01:54] <RandolphCarter> lampshade: cool :) and ouch about the compiler :/
[01:54] <dooglus> rando1: I'm not with you.  what's the problem?
[01:54] <RandolphCarter> worst I've had to do is write a lisp :/
[01:54] <voraistos> isai: ????
[01:54] <NoobSauce> sorry about that mouthful... don't wanna spam the chatroom
[01:55] <SAM_theman> O yeah,I went to the ubuntu forums looking for help why is my games sounds arn't working
[01:55] <rando1> dooglus: i get a lot of hdd acticity for doing very little; browsing menu's etc
[01:55] <MacinMan> ok, video is not improving  no matter what i am doing i can't get any higher resolutions, even though they are listed in xorg configuration
[01:55] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: you need to install an SMP kernel
[01:55] <SAM_theman> still can't find anything tried some stuff didn't work
[01:55] <dooglus> rando1: it's probably swapping.  are you short of RAM?
[01:55] <rando1> dooglus:  and its as if i have to wait for the hdd to spin up (light stays on for a second or 2, then the menu loads)
[01:55] <kbrooks> MacinMan: restat X.
[01:55] <dooglus> rando1: "free" will tell you
[01:55] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: assuming you're using an AMD dual core, try 'sudo aptitude install linux-k7-smp'
[01:55] <slackern> NoobSauce: Im not sure you might need a SMP capable kernel.
[01:55] <NoobSauce> RandolphCarter what's the difference between an SMP kernel and i386?
[01:55] <ompaul> SAM_theman, you were asked a simple question about where that data you tried to test for came from
[01:55] <MacinMan> kbrooks i've restarted the whole box
[01:56] <MacinMan> several times
[01:56] <isai> voraistos: sorry...try gnome baker or kb3 if nautilus won't work.
[01:56] <rando1> dooglus: i have 512 physical, ill jsut check my swap size
[01:56] <voraistos> isai: thx, i install that now
[01:56] <kenzi> guys i have a problem
[01:56] <kenzi> configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
[01:56] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: SMP =multi-processing :)
[01:56] <MacinMan> nothing is changing it
[01:56] <kenzi> how can i fix it ?
[01:56] <NoobSauce> slackern RandolphCarter if I have already installed Nvidia drivers, will changing the kernel mess things up?
[01:56] <isai> NoobSauce: you need an SMP kernel
[01:56] <rando1> dooglus: yeah, im using over 100mb swap :S
[01:56] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: probably, almost definitely, yes
[01:57] <SAM_theman> o
[01:57] <rando1> time to get some more ram i guess...
[01:57] <SAM_theman> from a  site
[01:57] <ompaul> rando1, you need more ram
[01:57] <lampshade> The one weird thing I wish I knew more about, that makes NO sense to me.... is that I can here a new sound running Ubuntu with my machine than with Windows.  Like this high tech high pitched sound
[01:57] <SAM_theman> :P
[01:57] <lampshade> really weird
[01:57] <SAM_theman> srry
[01:57] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: if you installed it using the ubuntu packages you shouldn't have much of a problem though
[01:57] <slackern> NoobSauce: You will need restricted drivers perhaps for the smp kernel also then.
[01:57] <rando1> dooglus: tbh, i hand't thought of that!
[01:57] <RandolphCarter> slackern: that linux-smp-k7 is a virtual package that includes it
[01:57] <dooglus> rando1: try closing down firefox - that usually uses a lot of RAM
[01:57] <MacinMan> kbrooks what's consuing me is i usually run fedora core on this box and it doesn't have  these issues with video
[01:57] <rando1> dooglus: and to think that ive been using windows for years, you'd think i would know swapping when i see it :P
[01:57] <slackern> rando1: Aye, thats true.
[01:58] <slackern> rando1: oh sorry that last was to RandolphCarter
[01:58] <dooglus> rando1: if you run    ps -eo 'uname,pid,ppid,sz:6,stime,time,cmd' | perl -pe 'BEGIN{print scalar <>}sub fmt{sprintf "%9s ", sprintf "%.2fMb", (shift)/256.0} s/((?:\S+\s+){2}\S+)(\s+\S+)/&fmt($2).$1/e' | grep -vF '0.00Mb' | sort -n | cut -c-$COLUMNS    it'll show you which process is using lots of memory
[01:58] <NoobSauce> randolphcarter slackern so there's NO way around this? I must change kernel versions? I spent a ton of time getting nvidia drivers working... so...
[01:58] <rando1> dooglus: closing FF cleared 1mb swap! doh
[01:58] <ompaul> SAM_theman, well if you cd down to each directory you will find card0 and then you will find out what type it is
[01:58] <rando1> slackern: nps :)
[01:58] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: yes, no way around it, SMP = more than one CPU
[01:58] <dooglus> rando1: you'll find you've got lots of free memory now.  with time stuff will migrate from swap into RAM
[01:58] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: if you're using the ubuntu Nvidia drivers though (didn't install your own by hand), you shouldn't even notice the change though
[01:58] <slackern> NoobSauce: It's like changing HAL in windows, thats no fun either :)
[01:58] <rando1> dooglus: thats one hell of a command string
[01:59] <dooglus> rando1: it won't be moved into RAM until you use it next.
[01:59] <rando1> dooglus: ahh i c :)
[01:59] <NoobSauce> if this breaks my nvidia drivers I think I will cry :(
[01:59] <dooglus> rando1: I know, but I've not found an easier way to do it
[01:59] <rando1> dooglus: got ya
[01:59] <NoobSauce> slackern what's HAL?
[01:59] <isai> RandolphCarter: SMP is also needed for x86-64bit procs.
[01:59] <SAM_theman> brb
[01:59] <SAM_theman> restarting comp
[01:59] <rando1> dooglus: lol - ill give it a try brb
[01:59] <dooglus> rando1: if you run 'free' and look at 'free mem' you'll see it's quite a lot now I guess
[02:00] <NoobSauce> slackern RandolphCarter will going to k7 break any compatibility with 32-bit apps? or should that all be ok?
[02:00] <slackern> NoobSauce: HardwareAbstractionLayer if im not wrong, theres a load of them too depending on what type of cpu/cpus you are using and more :)
[02:00] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: k7 is 32-bit
[02:00] <slackern> NoobSauce: Is it an amd you have?
[02:00] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: k8 is 64-bit
[02:00] <ompaul> 41.96Mb ompaul    9187     1 May06 00:03:03 xchat
[02:00] <MacinMan> bbl
[02:00] <harisund> Could someone suggest the best way to install RealPlayer?
[02:00] <dooglus> ompaul: I had this: ps -eo 'uname,pid,ppid,sz:6,stime,time,cmd' | perl -pe 'BEGIN{print scalar <>}sub fmt{sprintf "%9s ", sprintf "%.2fMb", (shift)/256.0} s/((?:\S+\s+){2}\S+)(\s+\S+)/&fmt($2).$1/e' | grep -vF '0.00Mb' | sort -n | cut -c-$COLUMNS
[02:00] <dooglus> oops, sorry.
[02:00] <isai> harisund: check ubuntuguide.org
[02:00] <dooglus> I had this:  214.81Mb chris     5048  5008 May06 00:39:37 /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin -a firefox
[02:00] <ompaul> dooglus, yukie
[02:01] <dooglus> that was with only 3 tabs open too.  seems to be a leak, maybe?
[02:01] <harisund> isai: There are 3 methods over there. There is a .deb method, a .bin method and another one. I want the best one :)
[02:01] <slackern>  76.97Mb slackern 10409     1 00:59 00:00:04 nautilus yay
[02:01] <rando1> dooglus: atm, that ps command shows vmware and vlc player as killing my system, but i dont usually have either of them running and the problem is still aparent (admididly, the problem is far more aparent with both of those apps open :P)
[02:01] <NoobSauce> RandolphCarter: slackern ok, I guess it's time to upgrade the kernel... I had compiz+xgl working on this install and if I have to reset it up again, I'm gonna be really mad
[02:01] <NoobSauce> thanks guys
[02:01] <caspe1> does anyone know how to extract rar files with ubuntu? what app i use?
[02:01] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: so long as you've done things "the ubuntu way", you shouldn't have a problem
[02:01] <dooglus> caspe1: use unrar
[02:01] <slackern> NoobSauce: It shouldn't be much to change unless you did the drivers manually and such, and atleast now you have a clue about what to do :)
[02:01] <caspe1> sweet thanks dooglus
[02:01] <dooglus> caspe1: if package 'unrar' doesn't do it, try 'unrar-nonfree' instead (on breezy)
[02:01] <teh> can i apt-get install the java sdk?
[02:01] <NoobSauce> RandolphCarter: how do I change the kernel anyways?
[02:01] <rando1> dooglus:  131.07Mb tom      14422     1 00:09 00:01:13 wxvlc /home/tom/Desktop/jan_mix.mp
[02:01] <rando1>  275.23Mb root     10397 10387 May06 00:47:07 /usr/lib/vmware/bin/vmware-vmx -@
[02:02] <kenzi> configure: error: XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
[02:02] <kenzi> how can i fix it ?
[02:02] <caspe1> ok
[02:02] <caspe1> will try now
[02:02] <isai> harisund: in AddOn section number 18. It only shows it 1 way.
[02:02] <dooglus> teh: you can use 'java-package' to turn the Sun Java .bin file into a .deb package
[02:02] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: just do 'sudo aptitude install linux-k7-smp' at a terminal
[02:02] <rando1> dooglus: so even with not "much" open, the problem still exists
[02:02] <NoobSauce> RandolphCarter: what's the difference between aptitude and apt-get?
[02:02] <bbrazil> kenzi: sudo apt-get install libxml-parser-perl
[02:03] <harisund> isai: is it ok if it is for 5.04? I am talking about 5.10 here?
[02:03] <dooglus> rando1: those memory sizes are a little misleading.  it's quite possible that the 275Mb used by vmware and the 131Mb used by vlc overlap to some extent, if they use the same libraries.
[02:03] <slackern> NoobSauce: it's kde's synapic, in other words a gui for apt-get
[02:03] <farous> how would i increase the time before the screen goes blank when running my notebook on battery? i disabled the xscreensaver but this did not help
[02:03] <rando1> dooglus: i got ya
[02:03] <thrice`> slackern: aptitude is?
[02:03] <RandolphCarter> NoobSauce: not much, aptitude was (a few years back when I first learned this), the newer way of doing things though
[02:03] <thrice`> you sure about that one?
[02:03] <bbrazil> fredux: xset -dpms
[02:03] <NoobSauce> slackern oh, it's just a different frontend? no technical improvements or anything?
[02:03] <isai> don't know although it should work. If you want the greatest get it from RealAudio.com

[02:03] <slackern> oh, don't listen to me :)
[02:03] <bbrazil> fredux: that turns it off iirc
[02:04] <slackern> i was thinking about something else and mixed up the names
[02:04] <dooglus> NoobSauce: aptitude is a bit cleverer about remembering which packages you have asked to have installed, and which were installed just because they were dependancies
[02:04] <RandolphCarter> slackern: aptitude isn't, it's text only
[02:04] <rando1> dooglus: obviously i dont have enough RAM :P
[02:04] <harisund> See? That's what I was talking about isai. I dont want to be told more than one method that works. (meaning creates appropriate plugins for firefox)
[02:04] <dooglus> NoobSauce: so when you uninstall stuff, it can uninstall unneeded dependancies, whereas apt-get won't
[02:04] <NoobSauce> ok, time for restart... hope everything works *crosses fingers*
[02:04] <poningru> !wireless
[02:04] <ubotu> I guess wireless is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCards if it does not work out of the box https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper windows drivers
[02:04] <dooglus> rando1: either that or you just have expensive tastes in apps.  :)
[02:04] <brokengun> anyone have any experience installing ubuntu on a mac?
[02:04] <dooglus> rando1: of course, keeping the disk from spinning down will speed things us
[02:04] <dooglus> speed things up
[02:05] <rando1> dooglus: hehe, well, i do use this machine for everything :) i;ve never liked a *nix distro so much :)
[02:05] <isai> harisund: I don't think you find the 'one true method'. everyone has their opinions. I would suggest trying the apt-get method first. If that fails, then apt-get remove it, then try the realplayer.bin file from RealAudio.
[02:05] <harisund> Ah ok got you isai.. will do that :)
[02:06] <rando1> dooglus: i wouldnt ususally be using vmware, but im experimenting with building a ubuntu based mail server to replace my (excuse the bad taste) winbloze one
[02:06] <isai> harisund: i don't mean to sound non helpful, but most people here won't touch realplayer with a long pole. So it might be hard to get anecdotal evidence.
[02:06] <TiG4> --- When I try the following command with mplayer:    mplayer -dump mms://*****         It returns a "stream not seekable" error.
[02:06] <TiG4> Any ideas?
[02:06] <RandolphCarter> harisund: I've got it running, I followed the instructions on the restricted formats page of the Ubuntu Wiki
[02:06] <dooglus> rando1: it's understandable that vmware uses a lot of memory - it's a whole separate OS in a process.
[02:06] <RandolphCarter> harisund: if you want to get it working on X64, you'll erally need to setup a chroot
[02:07] <TiG4> !wiki mms
[02:07] <caspe1> i cant find unrar in applications
[02:07] <rando1> dooglus: which is why it rocks so much :)
[02:07] <dooglus> TiG4: are you sure it's an error?  I tried it yesterday, saw that message, but it was still dumping.
[02:07] <farous> !rar
[02:07] <ubotu> I guess rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FileCompression
[02:07] <caspe1> wicked thanks
[02:07] <dooglus> caspe1: breezy?  or what?
[02:07] <TiG4> dooglus: where would it dump
[02:07] <caspe1> ya breezy
[02:07] <rando1> dooglus: but like i say, i can just run ubuntu "out of the box" and the hdd issue still exists
[02:07] <NoobSauce> it worked thank goodness :)
[02:07] <RandolphCarter> :)
[02:07] <dooglus> TiG4: in the current directory.  do a "ls -altr" and it's the last file shown
[02:07] <TiG4> dooglus: i see stream.dump
[02:07] <NoobSauce> does anyone know how to get an OSX taskbar for gnome?
[02:07] <zcat[1] > last time I tried to isntall realplayer (from the .bin) it hijacked file associations for everything including flash files it couldn't even play. Took me most of an afternoon to clean up the mess. That was about 5 years ago. I will never touch or recommend real, ever again.
[02:08] <dooglus> TiG4: that'll be it I guess
[02:08] <dooglus> TiG4: is it growing?
[02:08] <rando1> dooglus: tbh, i never looked at how much swap was being used as a fresh install
[02:08] <NoobSauce> I see one in every screenshot of people's desktops and for some reason nobody says how to do it
[02:08] <RandolphCarter> zcat[1] : but how do you listen to BBC Radio 4? :(
[02:08] <farous> caspe1: install rar than in a term type rar e filename
[02:08] <zcat[1] > mplayer or vlc with w32codecs will play real media
[02:08] <brokengun> Noobsauce: do you know how to get gnome on OS X?
[02:08] <TiG4> dooglus: NICE!
[02:08] <rando1> dooglus: so i cant quantify it; more ram has always been on the shopping list thou
[02:08] <caspe1> how do i install it though
[02:08] <caspe1> i cant find it :(
[02:08] <TiG4> dooglus, thanks
[02:08] <farous> sudo aptitude install rar in a term
[02:08] <NoobSauce> brokengun: why would you ever want to do that?!
[02:09] <brokengun> for kicks
[02:09] <dooglus> rando1: I would expect it to be "none at all" until you run something.  I have 384Mb RAM and can run dapper without swapping.  it's only when I start Emacs or Firefox that it puts anything in the swap partition
[02:09] <bbrazil> NoobSauce: xwd | convert - image.jpg
[02:09] <NoobSauce> brokengun: sorry, no idea...
[02:09] <bbrazil> NoobSauce: There should also be a snapshot utility in the menu somewhere
[02:09] <dooglus> TiG4: mplayer will exit when it's finished dumping.  then you can rename the dump file to have the correct extension
[02:09] <caspe1> i cant find unrar anywhere in add aplications
[02:09] <dli> caspe1, unrar-nonfree
[02:09] <farous> caspel it is called rar not unrar
[02:09] <caspe1> o okies
[02:09] <TiG4> dooglus, it is a .asf file, do you know of a way to convert to mp3
[02:09] <TiG4> ?
[02:09] <rando1> dooglus: that sounds right; when i next reboot i will try it. i do have a few extra background services running though so it may be a little different for me
[02:10] <farous> you can search for it also using synaptic will give you a bunch of them
[02:10] <caspe1> okies
[02:10] <caspe1> will try now
[02:10] <farous> or sudo aptitude search rar
[02:10] <NoobSauce> bbrazil: I wanted to know how to get the OSX bar on gnome, not to take screenshots :P sorry about the confusion
[02:10] <rando1> dooglus: can you suggest anything else other than swapping which may be causing the symptoms? i find it hard to believe that it is actually spinning down as i use it constantly- i.e. no time to spin down, unless it does so after 5 secs of inactiviity
[02:10] <dooglus> caspe1: there's a package called 'unrar-nonfree' in multiverse for breezy.
[02:10] <farous> how would i increase the time before the screen goes blank when running my notebook on battery? i disabled the xscreensaver but this did not help
[02:11] <Teleios> does ubuntu install on an intel mac?
[02:11] <caspe1> dooglus i will search for that now
[02:11] <dooglus> rando1: does it happen all the time, even if you reboot and run hardly anything?
[02:11] <caspe1> cant find it dooglus
[02:11] <rando1> dooglus: yup :(
[02:11] <TiG4> !wiki audio conversion
[02:12] <dooglus> caspe1: you don't need to search, just enable multiverse and "sudo apt-get install unrar-nonfree"
[02:12] <liquidindian> !fsck

[02:12] <ubotu> To enable Universe and Multiverse see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AddingRepositoriesHowto - Official sources.lists here: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6047 (Breezy) or http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/6666 (Dapper) see also !easysource
[02:12] <farous> caspel did you enable universe and multiverse in your repos
[02:12] <lampshade> when's badger come out?  June?  Is that a hard deadline?
[02:12] <_sHaDe> Buona Notte a Tutti
[02:12] <lampshade> or could it come sooner?
[02:12] <NoobSauce> !OSX
[02:12] <ubotu> No idea, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, NoobSauce
[02:12] <farous> !tell caspe1 about easysource
[02:12] <caspe1> i think so
[02:12] <slackern> lampshade: You mean dapper?
[02:12] <caspe1> i will check now though
[02:12] <dooglus> lampshade: breezy badger was October 2005.  dapper drake is 1st June I think
[02:12] <lampshade> dapper yeah
[02:13] <dooglus> lampshade: see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseSchedule for dates
[02:13] <lampshade> k,  I run Ubuntu on my main laptop, which is my only machine--so I have to make sure you know, like I can't trust beta stuff at all I really need it to be as good as it is going to get before I put it on
[02:13] <lampshade> since I have no other machine or anything
[02:13] <lampshade> but I can't wait for the new wireless manager and stuff like that.  Also the new gnome.
[02:13] <TiG4> -- Does anyone know how to convert ASF to MP3 or other format? ---
[02:13] <dooglus> lampshade: dapper's pretty good now.  I've been running it without problems for a while now.  everything's in version freeze already.
[02:13] <rando1> fyi, ive had no issues with dapper since flight 4
[02:14] <rando1> its all been plain sailing :)
[02:14] <slackern> lampshade: running it here too quite nicely, but better stick with breezy if you want to be sure.
[02:14] <Marsmensch> hi anyone knows if there's a script or something to get the nasa astronomical picture of the day on the wallpaper? tried some myself but it seems not to work :-/
[02:14] <liquidindian> What does fsck do?  Why would I need to run it to fix things?
[02:14] <dooglus> liquidindian: FileSystemChecK
[02:15] <liquidindian> Ahh.  A bit like Windows if it doesn't shut down properly?
[02:15] <dooglus> Marsmensch: you could use a cron job to download the image and put it on the desktop
[02:15] <cocox> hi there
[02:15] <TiG4> -- Does anyone know how to convert ASF to MP3 or other format? ---
[02:15] <Marsmensch> dooglus, have you done somethink like this?
[02:15] <cocox> how can i do to know what kind of ubunto do i have ??????
[02:16] <rando1> hi cocox
[02:16] <cocox> hi randol
[02:16] <caspe1> ok ya i have them enabled dooglus
[02:16] <dooglus> Marsmensch: I've not, no.  I don't know where the nasa pics are, and I'm not sure how to set the wallpaper from a script, but it shouldn't be too hard
[02:16] <biovore> TiG4: mencoder will do it
[02:16] <caspe1> how do i find that unrar-retail
[02:16] <rando1> cocox: what exactly do you mean?
[02:16] <dooglus> TiG4: mencoder should be able to do that I think
[02:17] <caspe1> or unrar-nonfree
[02:17] <caspe1> sorry
[02:17] <awesometaylor> cocox System->About Ubuntu on GNOME panel
[02:17] <Marsmensch> i have a small script that gets the url of the image an downloads it ... but you 've said it, i don't know how to set the wallpaper by script
[02:17] <cocox> randol, i want to know if i have Hoary or Breezy
[02:17] <J_P> hi all
[02:17] <lampshade> cocox, go to System >> About Ubuntu >> Core Components will tell you
[02:17] <rando1> ^^ do what awesometaylor said :P
[02:17] <lampshade> it should say something like Ubuntu 5.10 or something
[02:17] <etmntONE> What day will Dapper be out? the first of June, or unannounced?
[02:17] <dooglus> cocox: lsb_release -d
[02:17] <NoobSauce> TiG4: you can use soundkonverter to convert sound files from a GUI
[02:17] <J_P> people, dapper has package to install easy XGL for that nice effects on gnome ?
[02:17] <rando1> cocox: im a little slow tonight :P
[02:18] <cocox> lsb_release -d wowww this is PRO
[02:18] <cocox> nice
[02:18] <lampshade> dooglus, that's a far out command
[02:18] <cafuego_> J_P: More or less, but since it's alpha software it won't be stable.
[02:18] <dooglus> lampshade: it is?
[02:18] <lampshade> [I had no idea that existed
[02:18] <cocox> thnx gusy randol, dooglus,lampshade,awesometaylor
[02:18] <dooglus> lampshade: try "cat /etc/lsb-release" too
[02:18] <LeeJunFan> anyone know how to edit a partitionlabel w/o destroying  - mkfs is the only way I know of at format time.
[02:19] <luigi> Can someone of you see the web tv (iptv) with ubuntu?
[02:19] <LeeJunFan> as in volume name.
[02:19] <rando1> atlast vmware is almost finished- maybe i can have my ram back now!
[02:19] <J_P> cafuego_: not problem... has or not ?
[02:19] <dooglus> LeeJunFan: yes, I've done it, using a 'hal' command of some kind
[02:19] <cafuego_> J_P: Some people claim it's made them have to reinstall.
[02:19] <dooglus> LeeJunFan: hal_set_property I guess
[02:20] <monsterb> !power managment
[02:20] <ubotu> My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, monsterb
[02:20] <LeeJunFan> dooglus: well it looks like tune2fs can do it too, but for vfat hal may be only way.
[02:20] <monsterb> !power
[02:20] <ubotu> monsterb: I haven't a clue, try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[02:20] <LeeJunFan> dooglus: thanks.
[02:20] <blazemonger> why is it alot of the icon themes in ubuntu dont work properly?
[02:20] <luigi> I need help to see the web tv (iptv)
[02:20] <KyoLptp`> is there an FLV player for linux?
[02:21] <KyoLptp`> sorry if someone answered it before, I was afk
[02:21] <dooglus> KyoLptp`: mplayer can play .flv files
[02:21] <KyoLptp`> is mplayer in ubuntu by default?
[02:21] <dooglus> KyoLptp`: no; get 'mplayer-nogui'
[02:22] <blazemonger> is it possible to compile apache in ubuntu?
[02:22] <rando1> w00t :) ubuntu running ontop of ubuntu :)
[02:22] <TiG4> dooglus, mencoder says "video stream is mandatory"
[02:22] <blazemonger> how fast is it rando1 ?
[02:22] <TiG4> dooglus, i pass it $mencode stream.dump
[02:22] <dooglus> blazemonger: yes.  "apt-get --build install apache" or something like that
[02:22] <rando1> blazemonger: you can compile anything as long as you have a compatible compiler and its dependencies
[02:23] <blazemonger> another probhlem i have in ubuntu is the mouse cursor changes colors often
[02:23] <dooglus> TiG4: I've never tried using mencoder, sorry.
[02:23] <lampshade> does --build just give you what the source?  Or the sources depends?
[02:23] <rando1> blazemonger: or you could do it the easy way like dooglus said :P
[02:23] <blazemonger> like to where i can't see it
[02:23] <TiG4> dooglus, no problem
[02:23] <pingveno> I just installed gcc, I'm getting a lot of problems with "blah has not been declared." What am I doing wrong?
[02:23] <dooglus> pingveno: you're probably missing some -dev packages.  use "sudo apt-get build-dep <package>" to get the -dev packages.
[02:24] <ircbrowser99> ok, now for extra credit, load os/2 warpp:1.0:niks:"%2D%2D%3E":"%2D%2D%3E" w00t :) ubuntu running ontop of ubuntu :)
[02:24] <dooglus> pingveno: install 'build-essential' too if you didn't already
[02:24] <pingveno> By "blah has not be declared", I mean that just including <iostream> sends out a bunch of messages.
[02:24] <pingveno> been*
[02:24] <ircbrowser99> wow, that got munged
[02:25] <dooglus> lampshade: --build downloads the source and builds it
[02:25] <pingveno> #include <iostream>
[02:25] <pingveno> int main(){}
[02:25] <ircbrowser99> extra credit, load os2 warp in a vm --> rando1: w00t :) ubuntu running ontop of ubuntu :)
[02:25] <J_P> cafuego: ok, do you remember what is package ?
[02:25] <pingveno> ircbrowser99: sounds like fun :)
[02:25] <blazemonger> anyone want to test the icon themes in gnome to make sure they work?
[02:25] <rando1> ircbrowser99: i dont believe ive ever had the pleasure of installing that on a normal box, let alone vmware :P
[02:26] <Jowi> ircbrowser99: I should still have a os/2 warp install cd laying around here somewhere.... best damn OS around at that time. getting sentimental :-/
[02:26] <rando1> brb- hamster wheel has fallen off of side of tank :/
[02:26] <dooglus> pingveno: are you using gcc to compile C++ code?  you should use g++ for that
[02:26] <whiter> is it possible to run mplayer without X server running?
[02:27] <dooglus> whiter: yes
[02:27] <merriam> I'm getting 404s with  http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/dapper/flight-7/dapper-install-i386.jigdo  .  I assume it's not ready yet.
[02:27] <dooglus> whiter: I use it outside of X to play .mp3 files
[02:27] <nictuku> hi. I have two sound cards. How do I choose which one I gnome/esd will use by default? It used to have an application for choosing that, but I can't seem to find it (using Dapper).
[02:27] <ircbrowser99> Jowi -- yeah, i took it out to play and reminisce (sp?) -- can't find a box it will load on
[02:27] <monsterb> !powermanagement interface
[02:27] <ubotu> What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, monsterb
[02:27] <LeeJunFan> dooglus: hal only set's it temporarily though :/
[02:27] <pingveno> hmm
[02:27] <rando1> merriam: i d/l'd the iso earlier, but not that one
[02:27] <whiter> yea mp3 works but i mean video
[02:27] <monsterb> !powermanagement
[02:27] <ubotu> My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, monsterb
[02:27] <pingveno> no, I using g++
[02:27] <dooglus> LeeJunFan: oh, does it?  I wonder how I changed the labels permanently then?  My filesystems are reiserfs - maybe there's a reiserfs command I used
[02:27] <lampshade> pingveno, if you are still working int he same console, try just closing that console out and reopening, perhaps some enviorment variables need to be reset since your last install of gcc type stuff
[02:27] <njan> whiter, mplayer -vo aa:help
[02:28] <njan> damn, he left.
[02:28] <vapor> greetings ubuntions
[02:28] <pingveno> lampshade: k
[02:28] <rando1> hi vapor
[02:28] <merriam> rando1: yes, no problem with the plain iso of course.  just jigsaw/jigdo
[02:28] <vapor> how do you add drivers to ubuntu?
[02:28] <Jowi> ircbrowser99: i set it up on a 486-dx100 a couple of years ago. still sweeeeet. very snappy.
[02:28] <rando1> merriam: sorry i cant help there
[02:28] <pingveno> same
[02:28] <rando1> merriam: patience is a virtue!
[02:28] <lampshade> hrm
[02:28] <LeeJunFan> dooglus: yeah, I got the ext3 changed with tune2fs, going to see about msdosutils for the vfat.
[02:29] <ircbrowser99> Jowi -- lol. i only have it on 3.5in :( any chance you ever iso'd that cd?
[02:29] <lampshade> what are the messages that it prints out again?
[02:29] <alvaro__> hi im trying to play a dvd but i get an error message. It says: "The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypred DVD without libdvdcss?"
[02:29] <vapor> any one know a page reference for adding a driver to ubuntu?
[02:29] <sstchur> Ok, so I just installed dapper and everythign was going great.  then I ran sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and restarted, and now my wireless card has "disappeared"  (I'm on the internet now through the LiveCD).  ANy ideas?
[02:29] <dooglus> njan: I never knew about "mplayer -vo aa" before.  that's really funny.  :)
[02:29] <blazemonger> no one seems to know what's wrong with the icon themes in ubuntu gnome?
[02:29] <pingveno> I have both the g++ and g++-4.0 packages installed, could that be the problem?
[02:30] <njan> dooglus, it rocks :)
[02:30] <lampshade> I just tried with the basic #include <iostream> and then on a new line int main(){}  and it compiled fine for me
[02:30] <rando1> dooglus: is that the mplayer ASCII output?
[02:30] <dooglus> rando1: yes.
[02:30] <njan> rando1, yeah
[02:30] <_jason> blazemonger: why don't you tell us what you are experiencing?
[02:30] <dli> pingveno, "ls -l /usr/bin/g++*"
[02:30] <lampshade> pingveno, what are the errors?
[02:30] <blazemonger> when i select some of the icon themes in gnome the icons arent there
[02:30] <rando1> dooglus: yeah, we found that at work not long ago- for some reason we watched some french quiz show in it :S
[02:30] <_jason> blazemonger: what version of ubuntu?
[02:30] <blazemonger> breezy
[02:30] <dooglus> njan: can you get it to use the current terminal, instead of making a new window?  and can I set the font size to be smaller, for a higher-resolution ASCII image?
[02:30] <_jason> blazemonger: you have to be more specific.  What icon theme? what icons?
[02:30] <merriam> rando1: I'm saying it here so other people can find it by searching.
[02:31] <Jowi> ircbrowser99: might be os/2 warp 3 though. not 4 or later
[02:31] <vapor> Anyone know where the "adding hardware page for debian"?
[02:31] <blazemonger> try them all if you dont mind an youl see what im talking about
[02:31] <blazemonger> :)
[02:31] <_jason> blazemonger: I never noticed that on breezy
[02:31] <merriam> rando1: and there's probably a solution, which I'm looking up now, to save me from having to start again, using rsync.
[02:31] <ohay> does anyone know why in ubuntu xorg.conf doesn't have Modeline entries?
[02:31] <blazemonger> i guess most folks just use the ugly default
[02:31] <rando1> merriam: nps- but beyond me though :)
[02:32] <pingveno> oh, great, I think I just did something screwy with adept
[02:32] <whiter> okay i dont know where to notify people about this but...
[02:32] <_jason> blazemonger: have you check the icon theme's directory to see if it provides an icon for whatever is missing?
[02:32] <blazemonger> another bug i found out is the mouse cursor changes to all black colors
[02:32] <dli> ohay, use "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg", not editing xorg.conf
[02:32] <blazemonger> what directory are the icon themes in?
[02:32] <njan> dooglus, I'm not sure about the former, but for the latter you'd have to do something with framebuffer and increase the resolution the console was operating at, I'd imagine
[02:32] <_jason> blazemonger: /usr/share/icons/
[02:32] <corey> is there a command to show bandwidth?
[02:32] <whiter> anyone realise that its very simple (locally) to take control of an ubuntu system? all you have to do is resart the computer and press F2 then go to recovery mode and it gives you root without even asking for a password
[02:32] <vapor> adding a nic and don't know how to add the driver. Any ideas?
[02:32] <vapor> adding a nic and don't know how to add the driver. Any ideas?
[02:32] <whiter> then you can add your own user and uninstall stuff and everything
[02:32] <merriam> rando1: I'm not expecting a solution here, since I have already searched the last 7 MiB of logs here.  I'm starting a solution for future reference.
[02:32] <njan> whiter, yes, this is why you set a grub password
[02:32] <ohay> dli: I tried using it, but I can't get resolutions higher than 640x480
[02:32] <dli> vapor, "sudo lspci", don't repeat here
[02:33] <_jason> blazemonger: note that there is a .theme file which will also tell the system what other icon themes to inherit from
[02:33] <ircbrowser99> Jowi -- yeah, i got 2.1 and 3.0 on 3.5in, the only box i think it might install to has a busted floppy. easy fix but low on the priority list
[02:33] <njan> whiter, if you have local access to a machine you have root anyway
[02:33] <whiter> njan
[02:33] <alvaro__> hi im trying to play a dvd but i get an error message. It says: "The source seems encrypted, and can't be read. Are you trying to play an encrypred DVD without libdvdcss?"
[02:33] <dli> ohay, ask ubotu about resolution
[02:33] <whiter> how would you go about adding a grub password and why isnt that being set by default
[02:33] <dooglus> njan: I'm in a gnome-terminal, not the console.
[02:33] <_jason> ubotu: tell alvaro__ about dvd
[02:33] <pingveno> Wow, I do believe that I accidently uninstalled about half my system
[02:33] <dooglus> njan: and "mplayer -vo aa:help" doesn't show aa options, like the man page promises it will.
[02:33] <vapor> Thanks dli
[02:33] <dooglus> njan: does it for you?
[02:33] <ohay> ubotu: resolution
[02:33] <ubotu> [resolution]  at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[02:33] <blazemonger> another thing how can i prevent the mouse cursor from changing colors?
[02:33] <njan> Law #3: If a bad guy has unrestricted physical access to your computer, it's not your computer anymore <= whiter, it's the third immutable law of security. :)
[02:33] <njan> dooglus, it does for me.
[02:33] <dooglus> njan: could you do a pastebin of it for me pls?
[02:34] <njan> dooglus, http://pastebin.com/702806
[02:34] <njan> whiter, with most linux distros you can just hit 'e' at the grub prompt and boot into single user mode even if there isn't an option, so ubuntu isn't that much different.
[02:35] <vapor> dli: Does debian maintain a driver file list or is that going to have to be a mfg thing?
[02:35] <whiter> it needs to be :)
[02:35] <njan> whiter, needs to be?
[02:35] <whiter> nevermind
[02:36] <dooglus> njan: that's what I get.  it's nothing to do with 'aa' though, is it - it's generic mplayer help
[02:36] <whiter> njan would you happen to know the program that is run when you want ubuntu to launch something when a device is inserted
[02:36] <whiter> like an ipod or a camera
[02:36] <whiter> im using xfce so it isnt installed by default
[02:36] <dli> vapor, read debian hardware howto
[02:37] <rabbitear> greetings
[02:37] <vapor> thks
[02:37] <njan> dooglus, I hadn't even noticed that, I just pulled the command straight from the manpage 0:)
[02:37] <dli> vapor, most nic cards are supported
[02:37] <OetmetG> does anyone know of a good database designer for linux?
[02:38] <lampshade> database designer?  Like one that makes the database or just one to make nice drawings of one?
[02:38] <amphi> OetmetG: apt-cache does - there are web-based and GUI FEs for both postgres and mysql, I believe
[02:38] <dooglus> njan: I guess that's a bug that needs reporting - the program and the man page don't agree
[02:39] <OetmetG> lampshade: well I use one that draws tables and makes the database
[02:39] <OetmetG> but it's for windows
[02:39] <Jowi> OetmetG: I can make an icon for a database if you want :P
[02:39] <Marsmensch> found a solution thx to all
[02:39] <pingveno> Somehow, I just uninstalled almost my entire system, including apt. Is there any way to get it back that doesn't include a complete reinstallation?
[02:40] <kbrooks> pingveno: uh?
[02:40] <amphi> pingveno: heh
[02:40] <kbrooks> pingveno: you didnt?
[02:40] <amphi> pingveno: do you have dpkg still?
[02:40] <dmbt> can somone tell me what this is that keeps appearing in my logs:
[02:40] <dmbt> localhost curl gethostby*.getanswer: asked for "ethereal.net.nyud.net IN A", got type "39"
[02:40] <pingveno> yah
[02:40] <Jowi> pingveno: yes, you should be able to "dpkg -i aptblahblah.dev" from the cd
[02:40] <pingveno> Ah
[02:40] <Jowi> s/dev/deb
[02:40] <pingveno> That's at least somewhat of a relief
[02:41] <Jowi> pingveno: but my solution includes a grain of luck
[02:41] <kbrooks> read this. http://techdirt.com/articles/20060505/1743215.shtml
[02:41] <lampshade> how did you remove apt?
[02:41] <amphi> pingveno: you could get the apt .deb and install it with dpkg; you might have some dependency 'fun' depending on how b0rked your install is
[02:41] <pingveno> Maybe I should just reinstall...
[02:42] <dli> lampshade, genius
[02:42] <pingveno> I hate it when I screw up my computer, it's a little nasty to deal with :-P
[02:42] <njan> dooglus, indeed, yeah
[02:42] <whiter> anyone know what app handles the auto launching of programs when a device is plugged in?
[02:42] <lampshade> In the new gnome, can you have different desktop backgrounds for different desktops?
[02:42] <Jowi> pingveno: almost 100% agree with that. even worse if you do it yourself than when someone else do it for you.
[02:43] <lampshade> and by "new gnome" I mean the one with dapper, not with breezy
[02:43] <dooglus> njan: even better:  mplayer -vo caca <-- colour ascii art :)
[02:43] <lampshade> whatever difference that is
[02:43] <serp> how do I make full screen apps too appear on my right screen instead of on the left?
[02:43] <aeroshadow> how do you edit sources.list? it is read only.
[02:43] <monsterb> How do I control power management? Is there a gui ?
[02:43] <Jowi> lampshade: don't think so. gnome has gotten rid of virtual desktops and only have virtual windows now i think (read: not sure)
[02:43] <tristanmike> aeroshadow, "sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:43] <tristanmike> "
[02:44] <roniez> hm.. why cant i run fluxbox? i choose it in the session options, but it says cant find "$home/roniez/.fluxbox/startup
[02:44] <awesometaylor> monsterb yes, its inthe preferences
[02:44] <roniez> but i know its there..
[02:44] <jimcooncat> after updating, gdm freezes on mouse movement. startx from root works ok. Is there news?
[02:44] <lampshade> that sucks if they did, I love the virtual desktop system
[02:44] <Jowi> monsterb: "sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager"
[02:44] <aeroshadow> thank you
[02:44] <MrFeetio> hi
[02:44] <amphi> Jowi: what's a virtual window?
[02:45] <dooglus> lampshade: GNOME still has 4 desktops by default
[02:45] <monsterb> awasometaylor, Jowi,  thx
[02:46] <ohay> dli: is was able to fix the resolution problem but now I've got another problem. How do I set the refresh rate without editing xorg.conf?
[02:46] <monsterb> awesometaylor: thx
[02:46] <lampshade> far out.
[02:46] <Jowi> amphi: virtual window is like having a very big window (lets say your desktop resolution is 640x480. take that times four to have a very large window divided into 4 parts. each virtual desktop can have 4 virtual windows. see enlightenment for a great implementation)
[02:46] <TiG4> is there a GUI area that I can schedule CRON jobs
[02:46] <TiG4> ?
[02:46] <jimcooncat> I gotta real problem with gdm, is there someone who can help?
[02:47] <amphi> Jowi: oh, ok, you mean a viewport onto a larger virtual root window
[02:47] <Jowi> amphi: exactly
[02:47] <dmbt> jimcooncat: just ask
[02:47] <jimcooncat> after updating, gdm freezes on mouse movement. startx from root works ok. Is there news?
[02:47] <dooglus> jimcooncat: https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bugs
[02:47] <ohay> dli: the thing simply sets itself , based on some configuration that's not transparent
[02:48] <Jowi> amphi: that is a virtual window. a setup with 4 virtual desktop can have 4 of those viewports.
[02:48] <rando1> right im off- laters guys. thanks for the advice :)
[02:48] <jimcooncat> dooglus, does that point to problems with today's breezy updates?
[02:48] <TiG4> is there a GUI area that I can schedule CRON jobs?
[02:48] <dooglus> jimcooncat: I don't see anything there yet - but you can report the bug you're seeing there.
[02:48] <amphi> Jowi: you mean multiple desktops, each larger than the physical display?
[02:48] <dooglus> jimcooncat: then it will...
[02:48] <Jowi> amphi: or however you want to set it up. 2 virtual desktops with each 2x2, 3x3, or 4x4 virtual windows
[02:48] <njan> dooglus, that's pretty cool :)
[02:49] <jimcooncat> haven't really got enough info to be helpful
[02:49] <dooglus> njan: I reported the bug with the aa:help command
[02:49] <jimcooncat> just know it freezes
[02:49] <dooglus> jimcooncat: I've updated, and don't see the problem
[02:49] <amphi> Jowi: well, X does the virtual desktop bit itself - the 'multiple desktops' are just lists of windows to display
[02:49] <Jowi> amphi: each virtual desktop can have their own background. but a virtual window can only have the same backgorunp
[02:49] <dooglus> jimcooncat: otoh I don't think I've rebooted since updating
[02:49] <mszorady> is this the Ubuntu halp channel?
[02:49] <dooglus> mszorady: indeed
[02:49] <amphi> mszorady: it is
[02:49] <aeroshadow> could someone walk me through opening my repositories
[02:50] <jimcooncat> it happened after i rebooted
[02:50] <TiG4> -- How do i schedule a CRON job in Ubuntu? --
[02:50] <pingveno> That total reinstall is sounding really good right now...
[02:50] <Jowi> amphi: true, but gnome has gotten rid of that feature and only use the "viewport" as you said.
[02:50] <amphi> TiG4: man 5 crontab
[02:50] <mszorady> thanks.:)  Having a problem getting a higher rez on my monitor
[02:50] <amphi> TiG4: and man 1 crontab ;)
[02:50] <TiG4> amphi, is crontab graphical?
[02:50] <Sambo619> anyone got a second for an orinoco dilema?
[02:50] <amphi> Jowi: ah... now I'm even happier I don't use it
[02:50] <dooglus> jimcooncat: which version of gdm are you talking about?  there have been 2 updates in recent days
[02:50] <mszorady> could someone tell me what I may be doing wrong?
[02:50] <dooglus> 2.14.5-0ubuntu2
[02:50] <amphi> TiG4: crontab -e will use your editor
[02:51] <amphi> Jowi: I've never like the viewport thing
[02:51] <jimcooncat> I don't know, where do I find version, it must be the latest
[02:51] <TiG4> amphi, isnt there a built in scheduler in ubuntu (GUI)
[02:51] <dooglus> jimcooncat: you run "apt-cache policy gdm"
[02:51] <dad> i accidentally uninstalled something on my other ubuntu PC and now i dont have graphics...
[02:51] <amphi> TiG4: crontab syntax is simple - I have no idea about a GUI
[02:52] <dad> can someone help me get it back please?
[02:52] <Nameeater> the device fd0 is usually the floppy right?
[02:52] <amphi> dad: perhaps sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-desktop
[02:52] <jimcooncat> dooglus, gdm: Installed: <IP_ADDRESS>-0ubuntu1.1
[02:52] <Jowi> amphi: i use viewport and the "desktop" part as well. what i understand is that it saves memory by only remember window positions and "visible" values.
[02:52] <amphi> Nameeater: yeah, the first floppy device
[02:52] <TiG4> amphi, found one anyways. gnome-schedule
[02:52] <Nameeater> ok, thanks
[02:52] <amphi> TiG4: cool
[02:52] <TiG4> amphi, thnaks
[02:52] <dooglus> amphi: the problem with cron jobs is that you can't set something to run once-per-day properly.  if your PC is switched off at the appointed time, the job won't run when you do eventually switch it on.
[02:52] <Sambo619> could i possibly get someone to take a look at what i'm doing wrong patching my orinoco drivers? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=171510
[02:52] <ohay> ubotu: modeline
[02:52] <ubotu> ohay: My cat's name is Mittens! Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[02:52] <dad> that should work amphi/
[02:52] <dooglus> jimcooncat: that's the current one, yes.
[02:53] <dooglus> jimcooncat: I'll try it and see if it happens for me too.
[02:53] <dad> ?*
[02:53] <amphi> dooglus: you want anachron for that, I believe
[02:53] <kingspawn> could use anacron to pick up all the jobs cron misses
[02:53] <jimcooncat> dooglus, good luck, I had to do a startx to get back here
[02:53] <dooglus> jimcooncat: oh, it locks up even if you don't touch the mouse?
[02:53] <dooglus> kingspawn: anacron is only for root I think
[02:54] <jimcooncat> I didn't try it
[02:54] <everton137> Hi, I just installed dapper Intall CD and everything were working fine. After add universe and multiverse on sources.list, I typed "apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade". Now sound is not working and I cannot play any movie using mplayer
[02:54] <jimcooncat> I had to boot to recovery mode
[02:54] <everton137> where do I begin?
[02:54] <dooglus> kingspawn: I ended up having to add a line to /etc/anacrontab saying "1               5       cron.daily.chris        nice su - chris -c "run-parts --report ~chris/cron.daily""

[02:55] <Dingo> hi there! how can I build GUI's with python like in visual basic?
[02:55] <hydrogen> Dingo: pyqt or pygtk, or pytoolkit
[02:55] <kingspawn> dooglus: that one is for debian, but I guess only minor modifications are needed
[02:55] <hydrogen> py<TOOLKIT> that is
[02:56] <Eroick> is it a really bad idea to run a wifi router without a WEP/WPA key?
[02:56] <zcat[1] > my wifi's wide open.
[02:56] <Jowi> Eroick: not if you use MAC filtering or similar
[02:56] <dooglus> Eroick: it depends whether you mind strangers being able to use your bandwidth and see what you're doing online
[02:56] <amphi> Eroick: not particularly, depends if you want to share ;) unless no one else is in range
[02:56] <zcat[1] > mac what?
[02:57] <Eroick> hey, you are right! I can just filter by MAC addr
[02:57] <amphi> zcat[1] : hardware address
[02:57] <Jowi> zcat[1] : each nic (network card) has got its own unique id number
[02:57] <zcat[1] > yeah.. mine's wide open.
[02:57] <dooglus> but you can set your mac address to be whatever you like.  it won't keep people out
[02:57] <dooglus> ifconfig has an option to specify your mac address
[02:57] <Jowi> dooglus: but its hard to brute force a mac number anyways. :)
[02:58] <zcat[1] > every now and then I check if anyone's been using it.. so far nobody's done so.
[02:58] <dooglus> Jowi: I just sniff packets to see which mac addresses are allowed.
[02:58] <Unit_> yay for trolling!
[02:58] <Jowi> dooglus: that's cheating ;)
[02:58] <Dingo> hydrogen: these are similar to VB right? you build the design then code.. is it?
[02:58] <dooglus> Jowi: right, but it's easily done
[02:58] <hydrogen> no idea
[02:58] <hydrogen> never used them :)
[02:58] <chinoke> hello, i have to make a presentation of how to install ubuntu at uni and i need a screenshots during the installation
[02:58] <zcat[1] > I figure if anyone starts using my bandwidth I'll deal with it then.
[02:58] <RandolphCarter> they're nothing like VB at all
[02:58] <chinoke> from where can i get them
[02:59] <Unit_> OHMY GOAT betty look at her but... it is sooo big....
[02:59] <Jowi> Eroick: you can also use a lower signal so it wont reach further than your appartment walls :)
[02:59] <vilkacis> I'm having a problem with my MP3's playing staticy.
[02:59] <kingspawn> zcat[1] : not exactly the smartest plan you've deviced.

[02:59] <mszorady> anyone know how I can get a higher rez?
[02:59] <zcat[1] > why?
[02:59] <kingspawn> zcat[1] : you'll find out when some clever monkey starts ddosing NASA through your network
[02:59] <kingspawn> ;)
[02:59] <Jowi> !tell mszorady about resolution
[02:59] <RandolphCarter> no graphical editor, you setup you components in code then pack them onto a form :) you _can_ use glade, which is gtk/gtk2 only, but the wrappers are kinda complex
[02:59] <kingspawn> (for a far fetched example)
[03:00] <chris86wm> hey guys, could someone please point me to a guide that will help me set up my 5g ipod on my ubuntu install?
[03:00] <zcat[1] > with a 128k upstream? yeah, whatever
[03:00] <Jowi> !tell chris86wm about ipod
[03:01] <asdf25> anyone know what extra stuff i should have to install to be able to see CPU temperature?
[03:01] <vilkacis> Is there possibly a reason why my MP3's are playing slightly staticy and hollow-sounding?
[03:01] <chris86wm> Jowi, thank you
[03:02] <Jowi> vilkacis: shouldn't. maybe your soundcard is not set up properly (or there is a driver bug)
[03:02] <wowoku> #ubuntu-desktop
[03:03] <mszorady> ahhh finally figured out the tabed screens here!  thank you Jowi and ubotu!!
[03:03] <wowoku> #ubuntu-desktop
[03:03] <wowoku> who can tell me how i can go to the room for chinese
[03:04] <nmhbm> I just installed ubuntu and I didn't set any root password but now I can not get access to root
[03:04] <nmhbm> help
[03:04] <cello_rasp> go to term
[03:04] <cello_rasp> adduser root
[03:04] <wowoku> ubugtu: can you tell me how i can go to the room for chinese
[03:05] <TiG4> -- How would I go about creating my own .deb file and submitting it to the repository as a maintainer? --
[03:05] <vilkacis> Jowi: Any way of checking that or setting it up properly? It's an onboard sound card in one of those odd VIA motherboards.
[03:05] <nmhbm> cello_rasp, only root can adduser :P
[03:05] <TiG4> --Creating it from source --
[03:05] <lampshade> is there a way to make the location bar stay put and not dissapear in gnnome?
[03:05] <lampshade> like when you press ctrl+l it shows up
[03:05] <nmhbm> cello_rasp, but go to term, what you mean?
[03:05] <lampshade> but is there a way to always have it stay?
[03:05] <cello_rasp> go to the terminal
[03:05] <mcsteels> #gentoo
[03:05] <nmhbm> cello_rasp, how do I do that
[03:05] <wowoku> mnhbm: can you tell me how i can go to the room for chinese
[03:06] <Jowi> vilkacis: i got an odd via board as well. ac97 should do it
[03:06] <Jowi> vilkacis: which via board?
[03:06] <cello_rasp> nmhbm: ctrl+alt+F1-F6 . i understand that root password would be blank, no? . also i remember doing sudo adduser
[03:07] <vilkacis> Jowi: I'm checking, give me a minute to verify.
[03:07] <TiG4> -- How would I go about creating my own .deb file from source and submitting it to the repository as a maintainer? --
[03:07] <nmhbm> cello_rasp It's not blank.
[03:08] <Dingo> pygtk comes bundled in ubuntu or I have to install it?
[03:08] <vilkacis> Jowi: VIA EPIA Nehemiah M1000, if I recall correctly.
[03:08] <Sambo619> i'm having a problem patching orinoco drivers in ubuntu, i have a forum topic thats getting no love at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=171510 which explains all
[03:08] <Jowi> vilkacis: you're in luck. got the same board.
[03:09] <Jowi> vilkacis: running breezy or dapper?
[03:09] <vilkacis> Jowi: I just installed everything with whatever default setting it told me to.
[03:09] <kbrooks> Dingo: in... i think.
[03:09] <vilkacis> Jowi: Breezy, just recently. I re-installed.
[03:09] <Dingo> kbrooks: well then I can't find it :P
[03:09] <vilkacis> Jowi: I did not know Dapper was available. I'm really quite new at this, I only wish I knew more.
[03:10] <nmhbm> cello_rasp, it just says incorrect passowrd
[03:10] <nmhbm> but I didn't set a password
[03:10] <cello_rasp> nmhbm: i don't believe there is a root account set up when you install ubuntu
[03:10] <Flannel> vilkacis: it's still in beta (dapper).
[03:10] <roniez> bah, why cant i get transparency in aterm with in fluxbox feels like its not reading .Xdefaults
[03:10] <kbrooks> Dingo: python
[03:10] <Flannel> !tell nmhbm about root
[03:10] <kbrooks> Dingo: >>> import pygtk
[03:11] <Code_Dark> just making sure, but the x86 live cd will /work/ on AMD64 machines, it just won't include the 64 bit functionality, correct?
[03:11] <Jowi> vilkacis: dapper is the new beta version of the upcoming ubuntu. it supports the M10000 board quite well, with accelerated 3d and everything out ot the box. i wrote a wiki for 3d on breezy on the epia m10k though if you need it.
[03:11] <nmhbm> cello_rasp, well how am I supose to set one up, it says only root can addusers whenn I try to on my account
[03:11] <aeroshadow> how do you delete backup files?
[03:11] <cello_rasp> nmhbm: everything you need to do with root permission can be done by giving the user password
[03:11] <kbrooks> Jowi: um
[03:11] <nmhbm> okay
[03:11] <kbrooks> Jowi: dont be incorrect
[03:11] <Dingo> kbrooks: yes but where's the GUI builder?
[03:11] <Jowi> kbrooks: ?
[03:11] <kbrooks> Jowi: dapper is NOT the new beta version of the upcoming ubuntu
[03:11] <whiter> anyone know what program handles auto launching when a device is plugged in?
[03:11] <vilkacis> Jowi: How easy would it be to install it? Would I have to repartition the drive again, or can I install it over Breezy?
[03:12] <kbrooks> Jowi: dapper *beta*
[03:12] <kbrooks> vilkacis:
[03:12] <lampshade> way to knitpick
[03:12] <kbrooks> !upgrade
[03:12] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade. Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades .
[03:12] <kbrooks> vilkacis: see above
[03:12] <Jowi> kbrooks: yeah, slight word slipup. but close enough :)
[03:12] <vilkacis> Jowi: Or do I need it? Can I get this to work via breezy alone?
[03:12] <kbrooks> lampshade: nitpick*
[03:12] <roniez> how can i get a transparent aterm in flux box?
[03:13] <vilkacis> Also, what is the difference between Kubuntu and Ubuntu? I installed Kubuntu as well and passwords stopped working after a while.
[03:13] <lampshade> kbrooks, I hate you
[03:13] <cello_rasp> roniez: i dont think anyone in here uses fluxbox.. it's rare for ubuntu users
[03:13] <kbrooks> vilkacis: um,
[03:13] <kbrooks> !kubuntu
[03:13] <_jason> vilkacis: kubuntu uses kde, ubuntu uses gnome (by default)
[03:13] <ubotu> kubuntu is, like, Ubuntu+KDE (not a fork) ; see http://kubuntu.org and you can go to #kubuntu for KDE-related help, or install from Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop; ISOs: http://releases.ubuntu.com/kubuntu/breezy/
[03:13] <Jowi> vilkacis: you can get it to work with breezy. no probs. you need this module for sound: "sudo insmod snd_via82xx"
[03:13] <vilkacis> Jowi: I have it working, just not well. Let me try that.
[03:14] <ircbrowser99> vilkacis: Kubuntu has kde instead of gnome iirc -- see descriptions on distrowatch.com
[03:14] <Tylerofl> i'm sure you guys always get people come in asking stupid questions, but i was told that this community is relatively friendly, so...
[03:14] <Pluk> pfff scripting is a pain
[03:14] <serp> when apps go fullscreen they use the left monitor. i want them to use the right monitor
[03:14] <vilkacis> Jowi: insmod: can't read 'snd_via82xx': No such file or directory
[03:14] <serp> how do I change this?
[03:14] <kbrooks> ubotu: kubuntu =~ s/(not a fork)//
[03:14] <ubotu> kbrooks: OK
[03:14] <cello_rasp> Tylerofl: sure.. just don't push it! ;)
[03:15] <Tylerofl> how do you use a .run file?
[03:15] <Jowi> vilkacis: cat /proc/asound/modules
[03:15] <mythica> could someone help me with setting up my tv out ?
[03:15] <_jason> Tylerofl: generally you execute it, but what is it a .run of?
[03:15] <roniez> cello_rasp: yea it was kind out of reach...
[03:15] <mythica>  Its working
[03:15] <mythica> but not when X starts
[03:15] <mythica> I have been fiddling with the xorg.conf for hours, but not really getting anywhere
[03:15] <mythica>  basically chopped out most of the sections from this guys xorg.conf:
[03:15] <Tylerofl> i double clicked on it and an error message came up saying that it could not automatically detect the character coding
[03:15] <mythica> http://wiki.arslinux.com/TV-out_for_your_NVidia-card
[03:15] <vilkacis> Jowi: 0 snd_via82xx
[03:16] <dooglus> I just rebooted dapper after updating.  gdm is fine, but now I can't get online at all :(
[03:16] <Jowi> vilkacis: perfect. already loaded
[03:16] <vilkacis> Jowi: So I already have optimal drivers?
[03:16] <Jowi> vilkacis: save this file in your home directory as ".asoundrc": http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/13529
[03:17] <Tylerofl> _jason it is a .run of nvidia display drivers
[03:17] <NoobSauce> can someone with an AMD processor check out how many bogomips you are getting? to do that, type cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep bogo
