[01:02] <SeanTater> alth: could be the monitor or video card dying -- other than that, I;m not sure -- sorry
[01:02] <SeanTater> geraldtfm: as soon as you explain why you need it
[01:02] <Bassetts> hyphenated: no difference :(
[01:03] <chris_> hey guys i have ipod video what do i use to get my ipod working?
[01:03] <SeanTater> geraldtfm: almost everything you'd ever need is in apt (just enable universe)
[01:03] <geraldtfm> SeanTater: because i cant seem to figure ir out on my own
[01:03] <ompaul> !ipod
[01:03] <ubotu> For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IPodHowto
[01:03] <alth> SeanTater: Relatively new CRT, and a relatively new ATI card?
[01:03] <geraldtfm> ah
[01:03] <ompaul> chris_, read that ^^ by ubotu
[01:03] <geraldtfm> seantater: I shall do taht
[01:03] <SeanTater> alth: sorry -- not sure what to do from thyere
[01:04] <chris_> ompaul is that for ipod video?
[01:04] <alth> 's ok.
[01:04] <Bassetts> i have ubuntu on sda5 and my home on sda7
[01:04] <SeanTater> geraldtfm: I think I might have some info for you, hold a sec
[01:04] <Bassetts> if i reinstall ubuntu what will i lose?
[01:04] <ompaul> chris_, it is all I know about ipod - if it does not handle video let me know and I will try to find something else
[01:04] <k31th> yo, my video playback seems to be crap laggy if it goes full screen it hardly plays frame dropps laggs out badly
[01:05] <k31th> this is a 3ghz pc with a gig of ram anf ati 9800
[01:05] <SeanTater> geraldtfm: ubotu should have given you some info, is it helpful?
[01:05] <wolfeySI> k31th: did you compile yourself?
[01:05] <k31th> playback used to be ok with other versions of ubuntu
[01:05] <ompaul> chris_, we operate like this - store knowledge that is looked for regularly - if missing parts go and add to knowledgebase (more or less)
[01:05] <k31th> wolfeySI: no i used apt for all my packages
[01:05] <geraldtfm> Seantater: yes
[01:06] <geraldtfm> thanks
[01:06] <SeanTater> geraldtfm: yw
[01:06] <wolfeySI> well multimedia is crappy if it is not compiled for MMX & SSE
[01:06] <ompaul> k31th, if I said to you DMA and mplayer
[01:06] <wolfeySI> DMA plays no role in movie playback
[01:06] <wolfeySI> use MMX and SSE assembler routines does
[01:06] <ompaul> wolfeySI, disk access can and does help
[01:06] <k31th> mplayer has the same problema nd of corse dma is on its not disk speed this files are not that high of a bit rate either
[01:06] <wolfeySI> sure.
[01:07] <wolfeySI> ompaul: but mostly divx decoding is slow without MMX/SSE stuff
[01:07] <Bassetts> i have ubuntu on sda5 and my home on sda7 if i reinstall ubuntu on sda5 what do i loose?? programs or settings too??
[01:07] <wolfeySI> Bassetts: settings you can keep, if you mount /home the same way
[01:07] <ompaul> k31th, also match the player to your cpu and match your kernel to your cpu
[01:08] <Bassetts> wolfeySI: so ill just have to reinstall my programs and tell them where the settings are sort of thing?
[01:08] <SeanTater> Bassetts: if you reinstall ubuntu, you loose everything on that partition, including your programs, but most settings will stay
[01:08] <wolfeySI> Bassetts: user settings are in /home, you will keep that
[01:08] <k31th> yeah fair comment but i mean thats not goig to make a huge amount of difference
[01:08] <wolfeySI> you wont keep "server" settings in /etc and /var
[01:09] <wolfeySI> you must copy that yourself
[01:09] <wolfeySI> :)
[01:09] <ompaul> k31th, try it, it does make a moderate difference - I have three machines where that was enough to make it all happy
[01:09] <k31th> this must be some thing to do with a video driver or some thing
[01:09] <wolfeySI> ompaul: you can just installed precompiled mplayer for p4 ?
[01:09] <k31th> it wont go full screen eother
[01:10] <k31th> it goes black and plays the video in a smaller box
[01:10] <ompaul> k31th, are you using breezy
[01:10] <k31th> dapper
[01:10] <VxJasonxV> is there some trick to getting sound to work in flash (firefox) ?
[01:10] <ompaul> wolfeySI, we don't build we have builds for most things
[01:10] <Bassetts> wolfeySI: so if i reinstall ubuntu then install the programs i have now it should work as before?
[01:10] <ompaul> !restricted
[01:10] <VxJasonxV> I've installed alsa-oss at the suggestion of some others
[01:10] <ubotu> For lots of multimedia issues this page has the useful information you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  see also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - Please use free formats: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[01:10] <wolfeySI> Bassetts: yeah
[01:10] <ompaul> VxJasonxV, read that last one by ubotu
[01:11] <Bassetts> think i will do that
[01:11] <wolfeySI> hell i even kept /home settings when i switched from fedora to gentoo
[01:11] <Mudra> Hello all, just installed and worked out how to get here.
[01:11] <Bassetts> my dvd drive is sooo weird with ubuntu or vice versa
[01:11] <Bassetts> it mounts then 3 seconds later unmounts and sometimes doesnt see cds
[01:11] <wolfeySI> Mudra: installation successful, we see
[01:11] <wolfeySI> :))
[01:11] <k31th> i might move back to gentoo
[01:12] <Bassetts> i messes up writing, i have sooo many coasters
[01:12] <SeanTater> Mudra: good!
[01:12] <Mudra> Thank you. I feel quite proud of myself.
[01:12] <rpedro> is there a list of UPS devices supported in ubuntu ?
[01:12] <dooglus> can someone tell me whether it's possible to get the sound and video to be in sync when watching flash movies in firefox?
[01:12] <Hobbsee> !hardware > rpedro
[01:12] <wolfeySI> dont misunderstand me, ubuntu is lovely, but as i know enough, i prefere source.
[01:12] <ompaul> k31th, okay, the restricted page from top to bottom does a lot of work that is useful
[01:12] <Hobbsee> !flash > dooglus
[01:12] <dooglus> it's OK if I use mplayer, but firefox always has a delay on it
[01:12] <rpedro> Hobbsee: thx ;)
[01:13] <ompaul> wolfeySI, that is a discussion point, we do discussions in the channel #ubuntu-offtopic
[01:13] <wolfeySI> aye.
[01:13] <wolfeySI> well i wont bother u too much
[01:13] <ompaul> :-)
[01:13] <ompaul> hehe
[01:13] <dooglus> Hobbsee: do you know whether any of those links have the answer to my question?  Or did you just see the word 'flash'?
[01:13] <Mudra> 8-) Well I have to go out now, but I hope to be back later.
[01:14] <Bassetts> i dont get how cd and dvd writing is SO much worse in dapper than breezy
[01:14] <Hobbsee> dooglus: i'm fairly sure i saw a link to flash on the restricted page - about how to fix the sound for it.  let me check.
[01:14] <ompaul> !codecs
[01:14] <ubotu> For lots of multimedia issues this page has the useful information you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  see also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - Please use free formats: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[01:14] <dooglus> Hobbsee: I have flash installed.  but the sound is delayed by about a second.
[01:14] <VxJasonxV> gnash isn't in any apt repos?
[01:14] <k31th> you guys dont get what im saying ITS NOT a problem with playing back with codecs its just laggy as hell
[01:14] <Hobbsee> dooglus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-f375cba46014e861cd5ec7643bd7c4ef05acff2b  - see the section on "flash troubleshooting"
[01:14] <VxJasonxV> not even multiverse?
[01:14] <k31th> i dont have these problems in other distros tbh.
[01:15] <Hobbsee> !search gnash
[01:15] <ubotu> Found nothing
[01:15] <AwaySim> !fuse
[01:15] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[01:15] <Hobbsee> VxJasonxV: seems not
[01:15] <VxJasonxV> :/
[01:15] <GreySim> !search fuse
[01:15] <ubotu> Found: fuse, adept crash fix
[01:16] <SeanTater> GreySim: there is also sshfs, which uses fuse
[01:16] <ishimori> is anybody here
[01:16] <dooglus> Hobbsee: thanks, I'll try it.
[01:16] <SeanTater> GreySim: info fuse may bring up something
[01:16] <SeanTater> ishimori: i;m here
[01:16] <SeanTater> ishimori:along with 764 other people
[01:16] <ompaul> k31th, try sudo dpkg-reconfigure the right version of mplayer and see where you are goint
[01:17] <ompaul> !info fuse
[01:17] <ubotu> Package fuse does not exist in dapper
[01:17] <ompaul> !fuse
[01:17] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[01:17] <ompaul> GreySim, ^^ read that ubotu comment
[01:18] <SeanTater> ompaul: he just did --
[01:18] <ompaul> SeanTater, I am behind in the workflow then ;-)
[01:19] <k31th> ompaul: I have the right version
[01:19] <ompaul> k31th, did you dpkg-reconfigure?
[01:19] <GreySim> Oh, I read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/encryption_with_encfs_and_pam-encfs earlier, and tried following it, but I get an error and I don't know why.  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16360
[01:20] <Yonda> Is there a way to play two sources of sound at once - eg: Watch a video clip in a web browser, and play music at the same time?
[01:20] <dooglus> Hobbsee: do you think adding an extra layer of sound wrapper could possibly help with the sound delay I'm getting?
[01:20] <Hobbsee> dooglus: i'm not really sure, it could
[01:20] <ompaul> GreySim, did you --> fuse kernel module not installed (modprobe fuse) <<-- and stick it into /etc/modules?
[01:21] <GreySim> Yep.
[01:21] <Bassetts> hmm, i stopped vmware and now my pc isnt having problems, but it was working fine before i stopped then started it the other day :(
[01:21] <ompaul> GreySim, well I know some people are working on fuse from the devel lists - but where they are at exactly I have no idea
[01:22] <GreySim> Thanks.
[01:23] <SeanTater> Yonda: yes, but you should not need to ask, there's no setup to do so
[01:23] <ompaul> GreySim, you catch the conversation in that - been a few comments in the last couple of days https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel
[01:23] <k31th> https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/control-center/+bug/35540
[01:23] <k31th> im getting that as well
[01:23] <Yonda> SeanTater, This doesn't appear to work for me, I can only play one source of sound at once...
[01:23] <Bassetts> anyone?
[01:23] <SeanTater> Yonda: just make sure everything uses alsa, or esd or arts, but not oss or direct device
[01:23] <pepone> hola
[01:24] <kimo> !usb
[01:24] <ubotu> I know nothing about usb
[01:24] <ompaul> k31th, what is the output of uname -a >
[01:24] <SeanTater> Yonda: it's quite possible
[01:25] <SeanTater> Yonda: I checked, I turned on two music players at once, it works, it just clashes
[01:25] <Yonda> SeanTater, So it should work like that as default?
[01:25] <noiesmo> kimo, lsusb <--list usb devices attached also lsmod |grep usb < -- is usefull
[01:25] <SeanTater> yes -- (I;m using kde and Arts though)
[01:26] <shenki> hello. I was wondering, is there a simple way to show all installed packages from a particular repository?
[01:26] <CraHan> hey everyone
[01:26] <SeanTater> shenki: not that I know of
[01:26] <marius_>  /server irc.opsouten.nl
[01:26] <SeanTater> shenki: why do you need to know?
[01:26] <marius_>  /server irc.opsouten.nl
[01:26] <CraHan> does anyone happen to know how i can disable a plugin in evolution?
[01:26] <SeanTater> shenki: that'd give you zillions of lines of output
[01:26] <CraHan> cause disabling the plugin in the dialog and restarting evolution doesn't help
[01:27] <ompaul> !es
[01:27] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[01:27] <ompaul> pepone,       ^^
[01:27] <shenki> SeanTater: not necessarly. im doing some profiling on some custom built packages, and don't have debuging symbols, so need to compile them locally
[01:28] <shenki> SeanTater: and because I dont know exactly what custom packages I have installed, I was wondering if there was a way to list them - there'd only be 5-10 from the particular repositry
[01:28] <SeanTater> shenki: sorry -- dont; know how one might do that, but your best chance is reading man apt-cache
[01:28] <shenki> but yeah, thanks anyway :)
[01:29] <No|K> hi all
[01:29] <SeanTater> No|K: hello
[01:30] <No|K> :)
[01:30] <No|K> ubuntu rulez
[01:30] <SeanTater> No|K: tried other distros?
[01:30] <No|K> I had a question but I think it's just already asked
[01:30] <No|K> yeah
[01:30] <No|K> but only a few
[01:30] <SeanTater> No|K: what's the question?
[01:31] <No|K> mandriva, fedora & woody/sarge
[01:31] <No|K> was about the packages that comes with ubuntu dvd? i'm still a newbie
[01:31] <ompaul> No|K, loads, there are 2.4Gigs of packages on it
[01:32] <SeanTater> No|K: I've used Linspire -- and tried suse, fedora, xandros, and etch.
[01:32] <No|K> ompaul: 3.2 GB i think
[01:32] <No|K> SeanTater: And what's your opinion about ubuntu?
[01:32] <SeanTater> No|K: best so far
[01:33] <No|K> :D
[01:33] <No|K> SeanTater: and the everlasting question: KDE or GNOME?
[01:33] <SeanTater> No|K: kubuntu here
[01:33] <snoops> try both
[01:33] <ompaul> No|K, the full dvd is 3.1/3.2 but the repos on it are 2.5 and that is conversation can you and SeanTater (who happens to be there already) converse in #ubuntu-offtopic please, this is support and that last one was flame worthy ;-)
[01:34] <SeanTater> No|K: but nothing against gnome
[01:34] <ompaul> mumbles-out, ever think about just using /away
[01:36] <Bassetts> hmm, i stopped vmware and now my pc isnt having problems, but it was working fine before i stopped then started it the other day :(
[01:38] <alth> Is there a way to see my last, say, 20 apt-gets?
[01:38] <delcoyote> ubuntu live cd and ati radeon xpress 200 have any issues, does it work the graphical mode?
[01:38] <jbcnle> history
[01:39] <jbcnle> history | grep apt-get
[01:39] <theine> alth: that won't show you any dependencies that were pulled in as well though
[01:39] <jbcnle> anyone have any experience with tidy
[01:40] <Chetic> When I try to boot from the 6.06 CD I just burnt I get "No devices found" from X11... What the heck do I do about that?
[01:40] <jbcnle> I'm trying to clean up a bunch of crappy doms
[01:40] <No|K> SeanTater, ompaul: my pleasure, c u l8r
[01:40] <SeanTater> delcoyote: afaik, I have a 200m ati card, works fine, looks nice, but games are slideshows,
[01:41] <tau> Does anyone know how to burn files *directly* to a blank DVD (without making a temporary ISO on the hard drive first)???
[01:41] <delcoyote> SeanTater: trying to load live cd from knoppix , also from ubuntu 5.10 i guess yours is 6.06?
[01:41] <SeanTater> delcoyote: 5.10 did not work with 200m, only 6.06
[01:42] <SeanTater> delcoyote: at least in my experience
[01:42] <snoops> how can I force ubuntu to reload fstab without quitting x/rebooting?
[01:42] <delcoyote> thanks a million SeanTater going to download iso now
[01:43] <MisterN> hi
[01:43] <theine> snoops: sudo mount -a
[01:43] <snoops> thanks
[01:43] <SeanTater> delcoyote: no guarantees, but It did work for me
[01:43] <Chetic> How do I start X without errors? :\
[01:43] <theine> snoops: though that won't remount any already mounted devices I think
[01:43] <SeanTater> Chetic: what errors are you avoiding/
[01:43] <delcoyote> ill try SeanTater ,trying to get image from hardrive in a laptop with win that doesnt boot
[01:43] <snoops> hey I just want to add a new networked one theine
[01:44] <Chetic> SeanTater, "No devices found"
[01:44] <theine> snoops: than it should be fine
[01:44] <SeanTater> delcoyote: linux comes to windows' rescue -- :D
[01:45] <SeanTater> Chetic: try typing this into a terminal and the try x again: export DISPLAY=':0'
[01:45] <alth> What's the easiest way to remove something installed via the .deb depacker?
[01:45] <tau> Does anyone know how to burn files *directly* to a blank DVD (without making a temporary ISO on the hard drive first)???
[01:45] <SeanTater> alth: through dpkg or apt
[01:45] <theine> alth: sudo apt-get remove <package_name.
[01:45] <SeanTater> alth: hold on -- just unpacked or, installed?
[01:45] <delcoyote> lol SeanTater i hope so, want to learn how to do images of the drive, just fixing some friends laptop
[01:46] <Chetic> SeanTater, I got the same thing
[01:46] <delcoyote> thanks SeanTater btw
[01:46] <SeanTater> delcoyote: yw
[01:46] <alth> Installed.
[01:46] <Stork> is there a program i can use to sha1-hash a text string?
[01:46] <SeanTater> Chetic: sorry -- don;t know much else in that arena
[01:47] <Chetic> darn..
[01:47] <Chetic> I feel like I get this every damn time I want to use linux
[01:47] <theine> alth: what did you install?
[01:47] <alth> Alltray. I'm having some problems with my monitor/graphics card, getting rid of anything I changed ^^
[01:47] <flo> i need some help...when i put in a cd in the cd drive i have the cd icon apear then desapear in about 2 sec. i can't view anithing that's on any cd , what's hapening?
[01:48] <tau> eh, I'm talking to myself :(
[01:48] <Fee^> Anyone been able to get fancontrol/pwmconfig to work in Dapper?
[01:48] <richard_> hi
[01:49] <hikenboot> good morning everyone ...can someone tell me what the ubuntu equivalent to xconfigurator is?
[01:49] <SeanTater> Stork: python has support for ir
[01:49] <theine> hikenboot: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg, I guess?
[01:49] <SeanTater> Stork: but there;s no program, just a library in python
[01:49] <richard_> I have some video i would like to convert to play on my dvd player rather than a data disk - what is the best OS program to use?
[01:49] <SeanTater> Stork: also a lib in perl
[01:50] <SeanTater> Stork: tried k3b?
[01:50] <hikenboot> thanks but I want to detect the currently used setting rather than reconfigure...the XF86Config-4 has a lot of different settings and I need to know which one is being used
[01:50] <SeanTater> Stork: sorry, not you
[01:51] <richard_> k3b
[01:51] <richard_> um does that come with dapper
[01:51] <SeanTater> richard_: only in kubuntu, not ubuntu
[01:51] <SeanTater> richard_: but you can install it from apt
[01:51] <richard_> k
[01:51] <theine> hikenboot: hmmm, not exactly sure what you mean, but maybe have a look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
[01:52] <iwkse> are you here affix?
[01:53] <avis`> hikenboot, i did the dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg and it detected alot of things and the things i did not know i could figure out with what little text it gave me.  just be sure to backup /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[01:53] <theine> hikenboot: by the way, you mean xorg.conf instead of XF86Config-4, right?
[01:54] <theine> avis`: dkpg-reconfigure xserver-xorg actually does a backup automatically I believe
[01:55] <delmar> Hi everyone.  Im running breezy 5.10 here.  Is it quite simple to upgrade to Dapper or should I be doing a fresh install from scratch?  I would prefer not to...any comments/experiences?
[01:55] <hikenboot> yes sorry i am running like 10 systems its hard to remember which has which
[01:56] <theine> hikenboot: so what settings are you after specifically?
[01:56] <fishsticks> delmar, the utility to upgrade is very smooth
[01:56] <richard_> I updated with no problems delmar
[01:57] <hikenboot> i am actually using the ubuntu live cd to detect video settings because my thinstation pxe install fails to get my video settings right I just get a black screen with mouse cursor (the mouse moves)
[01:57] <delmar> ok.. thanks guys.
[01:57] <richard_> lol ..... i switched from windows XP to breezy 5.10 then dapper in the same day - having never used linux
[01:57] <delmar> So i'm going to download the CD and upgrade then I guess... I take it I can do that ?
[01:57] <fishsticks> you don't need to download the CD
[01:57] <delmar> I need to have an install CD available anyway, to install other systems
[01:58] <richard_> there is a dvd delmar
[01:58] <Hobbsee> !tell delmar about upgrade
[01:58] <delmar> DVD sounds fine too :P
[01:58] <richard_> just update from the menu delmar
[01:58] <theine> hikenboot: so it should be possible to figure out the right settings from /etc/X11/xorg.conf that was created by the live-CD, no?
[01:59] <delmar> thanks Hobbsee.
[01:59] <delmar> ok. cheers guys. off to check it all out.
[01:59] <Stormx2> Hey everyone! Having problems installing ubuntu on my friend's laptop; the installer can't resize a 40gb logical NTFS partition. neither can knoppix! Suggestions?
[01:59] <hikenboot> thats what i am checking now
[01:59] <hikenboot> i think i got it now
[01:59] <BazziR> Stormx2: gparted livecd
[01:59] <theine> hikenboot: you can safely ignore all those wacom devices in there
[01:59] <fishsticks> stormx2, have you defragged it first?
[02:00] <Stormx2> No >.<
[02:00] <hikenboot> ok i AM just wondering if I should mess with mode lines if this doesnt work
[02:00] <Mend> good afternoon everyone!
[02:00] <vanberge> speakign of defrag, i wanted to ask if theres a way to defrag linux partitions?  or if we even have to worry about that?  (sort of a noob, sorry)
[02:00] <richard_> I didnt defrag my NTFS drive - and it works fine
[02:00] <fishsticks> stormx2, i think that it is considered good protocol to do that... and make sure its not 39GB full =P
[02:01] <cr6sk8> try partition magic if you still have a working windows to burn it with
[02:01] <fishsticks> i would try gparted on the livecd also, as BazzIR suggested
[02:01] <theine> hikenboot: are there modelines in xorg.conf created by the live-CD?
[02:01] <Mend> can anyone tell me how to setup dial up connection with the provider with callback function?

[02:02] <void^> vanberge: however, as a rule of thumb you shouldn't use a filesystem at above 85% of its capacity to avoid fragmentation
[02:02] <theine> hikenboot: i would try without modelines and sync ranges and let X try to detect the right settings
[02:02] <cr6sk8> you should have kept windows until you got ubuntu stable rofl
[02:02] <Mend> "callback" means: first i call to the provider, then it calls me and connects me to internet. it is for cut the phone expenses

[02:13] <steve> ok i googled gaim does NOT support webcams
[02:14] <hasmademethirsty> jeese, I wish there was a place to get an answer to this question, but it might be personal choice, it's about ubuntu sysadmin.
[02:15] <hasmademethirsty> I have found you can set up a root account... like any other distro... would you guys recommend ever doing that?
[02:15] <ompaul> hasmademethirsty, no
[02:16] <ompaul> !rootsudo
[02:16] <ubotu> sudo is is a command that will let users run commands as root. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[02:16] <ompaul> hasmademethirsty, ^^ read that note by ubotu
[02:16] <hasmademethirsty> Ok, so the highest account you would set up ompaul... even with say a 20 computer net work would be admin w/ root piv.?
[02:17] <hasmademethirsty> ok, omp... I think I've read it and my question is a bit more specific.
[02:17] <hasmademethirsty> ompaul^
[02:17] <ompaul> hasmademethirsty, in a 20 user situation I would have an admin account on all them - not called root or admin
[02:17] <hasmademethirsty> right... ompaul, name it whatever you want.
[02:17] <hasmademethirsty> right?
[02:18] <ompaul> hasmademethirsty, and use ssh keys to log into the boxes from the "admin" box as myselg
[02:18] <ompaul> C-O-L-T-AWAY, turn that away off
[02:19] <cr6sk8> lol@C:\DOS\RUN
[02:20] <hasmademethirsty> ompaul, cool so I'm just practicing at home and basically I just have a business account and a personal account... you think I should integrate the personal with the root... leaving that how it default set up, then make the business account a 'desktop acct' 'below' the personal / root acct?
[02:20] <cr6sk8> sure why not
[02:20] <cr6sk8> I have only a root account
[02:20] <xwind_> can i mount an ubuntu iso, publish it in /var/www and use it as a deb http:/// repository? i tried but it can't find the package list
[02:20] <cr6sk8> >_<
[02:21] <hasmademethirsty> ompaul, using my noggin that's the best set up I can come up with... do you agree?
[02:21] <cr6sk8> How many of you are 40 and living with your parents lol
[02:21] <ompaul> hasmademethirsty, your use of language is confusing the issue, have no root, have permissions for the "administator-name-goes-here" to log into each machine and that person can "upgrade to the other account"
[02:21] <ompaul> !offtopic
[02:21] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[02:21] <rich909> hi all,
[02:22] <Zer0_Fil3> hi all
[02:22] <cr6sk8> howdy doodles
[02:22] <Zer0_Fil3> i'm italian
[02:22] <Zer0_Fil3> you?
[02:22] <cr6sk8> Irish here
[02:22] <cwillu> what's the recommended way to install a python module that doesn't have a deb/repository?
[02:22] <rich909> Have major problems with gnome daemon settings, can any 1 help ?
[02:22] <j-j> hey all just installed breezy im a first time user of linux having huge issues #1 is im unable to change my resolution from 640x480
[02:23] <theine> cwillu: i'd probably install it in my home directory
[02:23] <ompaul> Zer0_Fil3, conversations in the channel #ubuntu-offtopic please, this is strictly support, thanks
[02:23] <jbcnle> cwillu - look in the install.txt inside the package
[02:23] <ompaul> !resolution
[02:23] <ubotu> x is the X Window System; it's the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart (GNOME), sudo /etc/init.d/kdm restart (KDE) To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[02:23] <ompaul> j-j, read the previous comment by ubotu
[02:24] <cwillu> jbcnle: the install.txt from the package?  I should rephrase, it's a loose collection of py files :)
[02:24] <bimberi> cwillu: /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages
[02:24] <vanberge> anybody in here familiar with Kino at all?  im trying to figure out how to even load a video to start editing, i keep getting an error.
[02:24] <gharz> guys, i've just downloaded GoogleEarthLinux.bin... how do i install this .bin file?
[02:24] <jbcnle> what's the package
[02:24] <j-j> thanks will try
[02:24] <Steven_M> is there a way to force gtk+ apps to use gtk2 instead?
[02:24] <theine> gharz: sh ./google-earth.bin
[02:24] <joey-> :)
[02:24] <theine> gharz: or whatever that bin file is called
[02:25] <vanberge> gharz: sudo sh ./google-earth.bin
[02:25] <joey-> I got Ubuntu installed, but I need hep configuring xorg.conf to suit my correct video card.
[02:25] <cwillu> jbcnle: dbf reader;  didn't really want to reimplement it, but didn't really want to include it in my source tree either
[02:25] <joey-> Can anyone help?
[02:25] <gharz> thanks guys!
[02:25] <cwillu> bimberi: thanks :)
[02:25] <vanberge> joey-: do you have nvidia
[02:25] <joey-> ATI.
[02:25] <bimberi> cwillu: np :)
[02:25] <jbcnle> cwillu what python packages are you installing
[02:25] <vanberge> joey-:
[02:25] <joey-> ATI Radeon 9200
[02:25] <skavenge> i just had wmv playback after installing the w32codecs and now i get sound with no video just a black screen on them all of the sudden what gives?
[02:25] <alth> Ok, something strange is going on with my system. All my movies/TV shows etc have the colours all wrong. All pinky.
[02:25] <vanberge> joey-: did you try EasuUbuntu?
[02:25] <joey-> ...no
[02:26] <someothernick> !ati
[02:26] <vanberge> joey-: i think that program installs drivers for ati/nvidia
[02:26] <hasmademethirsty> ompaul, yes, sorry I am new to sysadmin...  I want a secure machine... the best I can think of is 1 "administrator-namegoeshere" and "desktop-namegoeshere" for buisiness/school (perhaps desktop with even less privelages)... is that the best set up for my one machine? heh, sorry, I'm trying to get the sys set up just right.
[02:26] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:26] <joey-> It's just.
[02:26] <joey-> I have two video cards.
[02:26] <joey-> One onboard and a PCI one.
[02:26] <vanberge> oh..
[02:26] <rich909> going mad here with gnome errors !!! need help
[02:26] <joey-> And my oem manufacturer diabled the feature in the bios
[02:26] <vanberge> joey-: do you use both?
[02:26] <joey-> to disable the onboard
[02:26] <ompaul> hasmademethirsty, that is reasonable
[02:26] <joey-> vanberge; no only the ati
[02:26] <joey-> but it picked up the other video card
[02:27] <vanberge> joey-: hmm... i see your problem.
[02:27] <joey-> and put that in the xorg.conf
[02:27] <joey-> and i need to change it
[02:27] <hasmademethirsty> ompaul... no need to set up a root in all situations right?
[02:27] <joey-> But I'm a newb and need to figure out what I need to change.
[02:27] <vanberge> even with your monitor plugged into the pci ?
[02:27] <joey-> vanberge
[02:27] <joey-> I have the xorg.conf loaded in nano
[02:27] <ompaul> hasmademethirsty, could you consider a much shorter nick name please i it plays with my client something dreadful given I have to run at a low resolution to be comfortable
[02:27] <joey-> i just need to figure out what to change
[02:27] <joey-> and yes i'm using the pci card
[02:27] <ompaul> hasmademethirsty, that is where we started out, there is no need for root
[02:27] <hasmademethirsty> actually,... yah... my normal nic is shorter.
[02:27] <rich909> ggetting folowing error when ubuntu logs in There was an error starting the GNOME Settings Daemon.
[02:27] <rich909> Some things, such as themes, sounds, or background settings may not work correctly.
[02:27] <rich909> The Settings Daemon restarted too many times.
[02:27] <rich909> The last error message was:
[02:27] <rich909> Child process did not give an error message, unknown failure occurred
[02:27] <rich909> GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.
[02:28] <ompaul> !paste
[02:28] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org
[02:28] <vanberge> joey-: im not a guru too much in Xorg...  i dont think i'd be much help
[02:28] <ompaul> rich909, ^^ read that about the paste bing
[02:28] <theine> joey-: could you paste your xorg.conf to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/
[02:28] <vanberge> joey-: my suggestion would be to update your bios
[02:28] <joey-> vanberge; ah ok.
[02:28] <hasmademethirsty> ompaul, I'm usually lens.
[02:28] <joey-> thanks anyway
[02:28] <joey-> any takers?
[02:28] <rich909> oops
[02:28] <joey-> Help me configure my Xorg.conf?
[02:28] <joey-> I've loaded it in nano,
[02:28] <joey-> just need help on what to do
[02:29] <vanberge> joey-: if there are bios updates for your mobo, you can probably install one that would give you teh capability to disable onboard gfx card
[02:29] <gnomefreak> joey-: why not just use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:29] <theine> joey-: yes, but it's a lot easier to help you paste that file
[02:29] <joey-> i can't get into X
[02:29] <joey-> :|
[02:29] <joey-> That's why.
[02:29] <theine> joey-: sorry, *if* you paste that file
[02:29] <theine> joey-: oh...
[02:29] <joey-> if i paste my xorg.conf?
[02:29] <gharz> theine, vanberge: for example u have installed the .bin file... how do u uninstall/completely remove the application?
[02:30] <hasmademethirsty> ompaul, OK, thanks a lot, I feel comfortable that this is the best set up... I'm a perfectionist ;-)
[02:30] <gnomefreak> joey-: that command isnt X and if you need to use a browser use w3m
[02:30] <vanberge> gharz: lol - you dont like google earth?
[02:30] <theine> gharz: delete the folder you installed it into
[02:30] <theine> joey-: yes, if you can, paste xorg.conf
[02:30] <joey-> ah ok
[02:30] <joey-> hold on
[02:31] <skavenge> i just had wmv playback after installing the w32codecs and now i get sound with no video just a black screen on them all of the sudden what gives? mpeg and everything else is good still
[02:31] <gharz> vanberge, theine : there are still some bugs.
[02:31] <gharz> vanberge, i don't like it.
[02:31] <gharz> :(
[02:31] <vanberge> skavenge: what player are you using
[02:31] <vanberge> gharz: lol... i understand completely
[02:31] <skavenge> vanberge, totem i believe
[02:32] <skavenge> yes
[02:32] <vanberge> skavenge: i have the same thing happen sporadically, even though all my codecs are correct
[02:32] <vanberge> skavenge: in the end, i siwtched to VLC
[02:32] <gharz> vanberge, theine : so i'll just delete the folder? it isn't like Windows that i need to go to Add/Remove Programs or something like that?
[02:32] <theine> skavenge: for totem you need an additional gstreamer plugin to use w32codecs I believe
[02:32] <vanberge> its an awesome media player.
[02:32] <theine> gharz: no
[02:32] <joey-> uh you guys
[02:32] <skavenge> hmm okay
[02:32] <joey-> how can i copy my xorg.conf
[02:32] <joey-> and upload it?
[02:32] <fishsticks> gharz: not in this case, no
[02:32] <vanberge> gharz: that is right.  it just ads a "google-earth" folder under /usr/bin/ or whatever
[02:32] <skavenge> it was wierd it worked fine first try then died
[02:32] <lens> ompaul ... better :-P
[02:33] <gharz> ok...
[02:33] <gharz> thanks guys
[02:33] <Fee^> Anyone been able to get fancontrol/pwmconfig to work in Dapper?
[02:33] <vanberge> skavenge: try another media player, if it works, great... if another one doesnt work, maybe soemthing got goofy with your codecs
[02:33] <theine> skavenge: try sudo apt-get install gstreamer0.10-pitfdll
[02:33] <skavenge> okay
[02:34] <rich909> exit
[02:35] <snoops> having fun trying to get dvd playback going.. I have an iso file of one of my dvd's.. I mounted it and passed the location to movie player then get a message saying it can't read it
[02:35] <liran_> translations on https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+lang are for the wiki website or for the actual ubuntu distribution?
[02:35] <lens> this is the slowest I've seen in a while, I love it.
[02:35] <skavenge> theine, bingo, must have missed that one thought i went through the whole list on ubuntuguide.org, guess not, thanks
[02:35] <theine> skavenge: welcome
[02:36] <theine> snoops: so you mounted it with -o loop or what?
[02:37] <bimberi> liran_: that URL doesn't work for me, but the ones via https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/dapper/+translations are for the actual distribution
[02:38] <Winkie> sup gents, i have a dell keyboard with media controls, every key except the volume wheel generates an event, there's not even any data on /dev/input/<correspondingevent> when the volume wheel is turned, are there any different kernel drivers that need to be loaded?
[02:39] <joey-> okay
[02:39] <joey-> so i tried the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[02:39] <joey-> well
[02:39] <joey-> it detected the other video card
[02:39] <joey-> the onboard
[02:39] <joey-> that's not the one i want
[02:39] <hosler> joey, easy fix would be to disable onboard vid in bios and run a reconfigure again.
[02:40] <joey-> but it asks for a bus number and i do not know what the heck that is for the other one
[02:40] <joey-> Hobbsee
[02:40] <joey-> er
[02:40] <joey-> hosler
[02:40] <joey-> I don't have that feature.
[02:40] <hosler> you checked your bios?
[02:40] <joey-> multiple times
[02:40] <hosler> that sucks
[02:40] <void^> manually remove the pci bus id from the xorg.conf, or use lspci to figure out the correct id
[02:41] <Hexidigital_> only 115 people?? net split or something?
[02:41] <snoops> yeah theine I did
[02:41] <Hexidigital_> ah.. nevermind
[02:41] <Hexidigital_> i'm lagging
[02:42] <snoops> just an example theine "mount -o loop -t iso9660 file.iso /mnt/test"
[02:43] <theine> snoops: yes, that's it, but might not be able to play DVD's like that
[02:43] <cr6sk8> I'm going AFK toodles all
[02:43] <theine> snoops: ...but you might...
[02:44] <gizmo_the_great1> I have a Sony Ericsson K750i Mobile phone with a 64Mb memory stick in it. When I used Breezy I just plugged it into the USB port and it was automatically mounted and I could access my pictures. Since upgrading to Dapper Drake, this has stopped. I plug it in, it makes a little sound and starts charging (so I know connection is OK) but Ubuntu does not see it. Any ideas?
[02:45] <joey-> okay
[02:45] <joey-> so i did
[02:45] <joey-> lspci
[02:45] <theine> gizmo_the_great1: look at the output of dmesg in the terminal
[02:45] <joey-> and it gave me the number for me card
[02:45] <joey-> 0000:01:0d.0
[02:45] <joey-> Where do I put that?
[02:45] <Winkie> gizmo_the_great1: try dbus-monitor --system to check for any events
[02:45] <skavenge> boy from looking at the forums there's no easy way to disable touchpad clicking is there?
[02:46] <gizmo_the_great1> theine: what should i look for in it?
[02:46] <theine> gizmo_the_great1: anything USB related at the bottom
[02:46] <lens> is there a built in xorg.conf file?
[02:46] <theine> gizmo_the_great1: see if there are any error messages
[02:46] <joey-> lens: it made one on it's own
[02:46] <joey-> for the wrong video card
[02:47] <lens> joey - I'm about to restart this thing... where is it?
[02:47] <joey-> where di i upload it?
[02:47] <joey-> i can't
[02:47] <lens> or what's it called.
[02:47] <joey-> or don't know how
[02:47] <joey-> how do i figure out the bus number?
[02:48] <gizmo_the_great1> theine: thanks for help, but after all that, it seems to work again! The other day it wasn't working, but it seems to be now. Bizarre!
[02:48] <lens> OHHH, sorry, I meant to say is there a built in SPARE xorg.conf backup file.
[02:49] <theine> gizmo_the_great1: glad it works
[02:50] <j-j> looks like im on the right path so thanks but how do i give myself permission to files owned by root?
[02:50] <lens> I can make one myself, I just hope this proggy doesnt shut down automatically (Linux programs don't do that much do they??)
[02:50] <joey-> Can anyone help me find the PCI bus number?
[02:50] <vanberge> joey-: lspci?
[02:50] <joey-> WOuld that be the slot the card is hooked up to?
[02:50] <vanberge> maybe?
[02:50] <joey-> lspci gave me like
[02:50] <joey-> 0000:01:0d.0
[02:50] <ompaul> joey-, would you put all of your comments on the one line, it gives others a chance to (A) read what your saying in one go (B) it also allows others to put questions in the channel and not have them screaming off the screen before they have 2 seconds to read it again
[02:50] <alth> There seems to be something wrong with my Totem. VLC plays things ok, but Totem gets the colours wrong.
[02:51] <vanberge> 01 would be slot 1
[02:51] <vanberge> no?
[02:51] <joey-> yeah
[02:52] <vanberge> anybody gnome users in this # that use amarok media player?  i want to make sure i'm not crossing bounds!  :-)
[02:52] <ompaul> j-j, gksudo gedit file-name<< that is one way what are you trying to edit?
[02:52] <joey-> So PCI:0:1:0 equals my intel card
[02:52] <jrib> vanberge: I do, works fine
[02:52] <joey-> That's what xorg.conf is getting at
[02:53] <theine> joey-: so maybe try PCI:0:d:0 ?
[02:53] <ompaul> j-j, some files that root owns have tools that you should use for editing them
[02:53] <j-j> xorg.conf it doesnt have the the "monitor" stuff
[02:53] <theine> joey-: sorry, i meant PCI:1:d:0
[02:54] <joey-> OH
[02:54] <joey-> lspci -X
[02:54] <joey-> That is a huge help.
[02:54] <theine> joey-: nice!
[02:54] <joey-> It told me exactly what I needed.
[02:54] <ompaul> j-j, gksudo gedit xorg.conf
[02:54] <theine> joey-: so what do you need?
[02:54] <[Nige] > hi all
[02:54] <vanberge> joey-: i'm looking at my xorg - seems like you're close!
[02:54] <[Nige] > !ati
[02:54] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your monitor, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BinaryDriverHowto
[02:54] <joey-> I'm using dkpg-reconfigure, ompaul
[02:55] <joey-> But here it goes.
[02:55] <joey-> Gonna try it, brb.
[02:55] <ompaul> joey-, then it is fairly simple you use it - and allow defaults
[02:55] <ompaul> joey-, choose ati or vesa if on a pc
[02:55] <ompaul> joey-, you can tweek the others from within the Xserver
[02:56] <[Nige] > anyone got dual mointors with ati and big desktop working?
[02:57] <joey-> YES WE HAVE LIFTOFF
[02:57] <joey-> IT WORKED.
[02:57] <ompaul> joey-, please don't use caps lock - its shouting ;-)
[02:57] <joey-> It's the only way to explain my happiness. :P
[02:58] <theine> ompaul: come on, let him celebrate...
[02:58] <ompaul> theine, you saw the ;-)
[02:58] <joey-> thank you guys so much.
[02:58] <joey-> I'm going to go now.
[02:58] <joey-> :)
[02:58] <joey-> Seriously thanks.
[02:58] <ompaul> joey-, enjoy it
[02:59] <Fraeon> I have a suggestion for the new Ubuntu name
[02:59] <Fraeon> Potty Porcupine
[02:59] <Fraeon> :<
[02:59] <ubuntu> hola! como hago para formatear una particin ext3?
[02:59] <Fraeon> Lazy Llama
[02:59] <ubuntu> desde la consola
[02:59] <Fraeon> Zappy Zebra?
[03:00] <ompaul> Fraeon, a tad more like you should be chatting in #ubuntu-offtopic ;-)
[03:00] <ompaul> !es
[03:00] <ubotu> Para Espaol por favor usen #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, alli obtendran mas ayuda.
[03:00] <jmspeex> Why on Earth doesn't Ubuntu get rid of gam_server once and for all???
[03:01] <Fraeon> ompaul, it's not off-topic, though
[03:01] <Fraeon> It's vital to know the next project name
[03:01] <ompaul> Fraeon, grumpy groundhog?
[03:02] <givre> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DevelopmentCodeNames :)
[03:03] <ompaul> Fraeon, it is named at the end of the dapper +1 cycle by Mark so it is for #ubuntu-offtopic cheers
[03:03] <ompaul> Fraeon, s/dapper/ubuntu/
[03:03] <gnomefreak> ompaul: its the "unstable"
[03:03] <givre> i suggest friendly frog
[03:03] <ompaul> givre, stick it on that page
[03:03] <theine> jmspeex: i'm just curious, what's bad about gam_server?
[03:03] <gnomefreak> ompaul: its a forever unstable but it hasnt had anything in a while not even sure if its gonna be released
[03:04] <[Nige] > hi all
[03:04] <ompaul> gnomefreak, it will change a lot soon, your in too early like the topic of +1 says
[03:04] <gnomefreak> yeah i know
[03:05] <Stork> is there a program i can use to sha1-hash a text string?
[03:05] <kim1> gnome-volume-manager isn't automatically starting. When I try to manually start it, it silently quits. How can I find out why it is exiting?
[03:05] <fyrestrtr> Stork: php ?
[03:05] <Stork> i don't have php installed
[03:05] <fyrestrtr> kim1: run it from a terminal
[03:06] <jrib> Stork: sha1sum
[03:07] <kim1> fyrestrtr I tried running it from a terminal and it just exits, no messages printed. Tried running with -n to stay in foreground, still no message.
[03:07] <jmspeex> theine: It *just* eats all CPU available on my machine *and* respawn when I kill it.
[03:08] <fyrestrtr> kim1: anything in logs?
[03:08] <ompaul> Stork, sha1sum hit enter - type what you want and then hit CTRL+D
[03:09] <[Nige] > is there anyway to update the ubot?
[03:09] <[Nige] > !update
[03:09] <ubotu> Upgrading to Ubuntu 5.10 breezy -> http://wiki.ubuntu.com/BreezyUpgrade  Upgrading to Ubuntu 6.06 Dapper -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperUpgrades  Note: gksudo "update-manager -d" always updates to the latest development version.
[03:09] <rixxon> VERY annoying problem: firefox is sometimes unable to "open" files, i have to download them and run them from the disk
[03:09] <rixxon> i thought maybe firefox was out of memory or /tmp full or something
[03:09] <rixxon> which is not the case
[03:09] <kim1> fyrestrtr checking /var/log/syslog now...
[03:09] <Stork> cheers ompaul
[03:10] <Fraeon> Okay, one more and then I'm off: Randy Rabbit
[03:10] <boricua> does anyone has the link for the server guide in pdf in english  this link only shows spanish https://help.ubuntu.com/
[03:11] <ompaul> Stork, enjoy
[03:11] <Stork> i don't suppose there's any way to make my laptop not accept input from the mouse keys on the laptop itself?
[03:12] <joey-> Hey again, guys.
[03:12] <joey-> I'm on irssi, and uh... Apparently, my X was deleted.
[03:12] <ompaul> Stork, there may be it is called "synaptic" as far as I know, and perhaps not so obvious it is not "synaptic package manger" as for on and off I'll leave that to you to find out ;-)
[03:13] <Stork> wow you just totally lost me
[03:13] <joey-> As it was loading, where the cursor is the X, it wouldn't go past that stage.
[03:13] <joey-> There was no hard disk activity.
[03:14] <pvd> isnt your superkey on the keyboard usually the windows key?
[03:14] <pvd> mine isnt working
[03:14] <kim1> Nothing is added to /var/log/syslog when running gnome-volume-manager
[03:15] <fyrestrtr> pvd: not always, depends on the keyamp
[03:15] <fyrestrtr> *keymap
[03:15] <Feli1> Greetings, my fellow humans! I have a small problem regarding my sound setup.
[03:15] <pvd> fyrestrtr, know a way I could figure it out?
[03:15] <pvd> some type of command maybe?
[03:16] <littlepaw> hi all
[03:16] <vanberge> hi littlepaw
[03:16] <xwind_> net install using a local http repository fails at "Download Installer Components". The http repository  is a faithful copy of the xubuntu alternate cdrom.
[03:16] <wezzer_> hi, I have to 2 soundcards, how can I totally disable the integrated card in ubuntu?
[03:17] <xwind_> debug console says package retrieval failed.
[03:17] <vanberge> wezzer_: you should do it in your system bios
[03:17] <xwind_> is this a bug?
[03:17] <fyrestrtr> pvd: well Xorg.conf would tell you for sure.
[03:17] <pvd> how do you enable sound in ubuntu with an audigy 1 sound card?
[03:17] <wezzer_> vanberge: can't do it because I need 2 soundcards in windows
[03:17] <pvd> fyrestrtr, oh ok
[03:17] <fyrestrtr> pvd: and I think there is xmodmap
[03:17] <vanberge> wezzer_: ah.. gotcha
[03:18] <rixxon> i set up a pgp key with seahorse, and encrypted a dummy file. the dummy is still readable (should this be the case?), and i got a .asc that i can't really do anything with! i want a cute password prompt when opening an encrypted file or something, im lost! help! :D
[03:18] <kim1> What's the option to switch on debugging for gnome-volume-manger? --help lists --gtk-debug=FLAGS. What are valid options for "FLAGS"?
[03:18] <redblades> Hi, I just uploaded a file into the root folder of apache, but it seems that people are recieving a "Permission Denied" error.
[03:19] <fyrestrtr> redblades: what are the permissions on the file?
[03:19] <redblades> 777
[03:19] <vanberge> redblades: you should take that off... lol
[03:19] <pvd> fyrestrtr, xorg.conf says I have pc 104 keyboard, I selected that instead of pc 101 or whatever.
[03:19] <redblades> I know
[03:19] <rixxon> i get "stalled" in Ktorrents for torrents with 404 seeds.. never had any such problems with utorrent/windows
[03:20] <martyn> what is the name of the software that give you a menu like MAX OSX
[03:20] <redblades> I chnaged it to that because I was unable to access it from other PC's
[03:20] <fyrestrtr> redblades: as what user did you upload the file, and how did you upload it? FT?
[03:20] <redblades> No, The server is on this PC
[03:20] <redblades> So, I just moved them there, as always.
[03:21] <della> where is modprobe configured to find modules? it seems it can't find the fglrx module from linux-restricted-modules-etc-etc
[03:21] <vanberge> della
[03:21] <Jowi> wezzer_: you could try using asoundconf to set the default card
[03:21] <vanberge> della: /etc/modules i think?
[03:21] <vanberge> no thats where you load them on startup.. my bad
[03:21] <pvd> oh thats the command
[03:22] <redblades> fyrestrtr, ?
[03:22] <martyn> what is the name of the software that give you a menu like MAC OSX
[03:22] <kim1> della: usually it searches for everything under /lib/modules/`uname -r`
[03:22] <pvd> is the audigy like emu101k
[03:22] <pvd> ?
[03:22] <pvd> one zero one k
[03:22] <gemidjy> ok I want to install ubuntu but without going into init 5 (from live cd)
[03:22] <Winkie> run modprobe -l iirc
[03:23] <Winkie> irssi is awesome
[03:23] <skavenge> is there a straightforward way to disable touchpad clicking on an alps touchpad in dapper?
[03:23] <Winkie> 14:43.55 -!- Irssi: Client: irssi 0.8.10 (20051211 0941)
[03:23] <fyrestrtr> irssi > *
[03:23] <dooglus> gemidjy: ubuntu doesn't use runlevel 5
[03:23] <redblades> fyrestrtr, Any ideas?
[03:24] <gemidjy> dooglus whatever, without starting X.org
[03:24] <Winkie> If this doesnt work it should because ubuntu is awesome for gayness
[03:24] <fyrestrtr> redblades: no -- other than change the ownership to the apache user and group.
[03:24] <dooglus> gemidjy: you can't.  to do that you need the alternate cd
[03:24] <gemidjy> dooglus ahh thanks
[03:24] <nnx> I'm trying to upgrade Ubuntu from 5.10 to 6.06.  As I'm on a bandwidth budget, I'd like to be able to save what I download so I can perform this upgrade in the future if I need to do a clean install, and I'd like to be able to move one upgrade's download between my two machines.  Would it be better to just download the CD image, or is it possible to use the automated upgrade in Synaptic and somehow copy the .deb's from one machine to
[03:24] <nnx> another without problems?  Is this a bad idea?
[03:25] <redblades> fyrestrtr, how? chown ...?
[03:25] <Winkie> nnx: i think either is probably fine, let me check
[03:25] <Wibble-> nnx, just copy them - thats fine - if they are d/l'ed then it'll use them
[03:25] <fyrestrtr> yes
[03:25] <Wibble-> __nnx, /var/cache/apt/archives
[03:26] <__nnx> Alright, and then I'd do something like dpkg -i *.deb when in the cache directory?
[03:26] <fyrestrtr> __nnx: no, just run apt-get like normal.
[03:26] <Wibble-> __nnx, no - upgrade like normal.  The package manager will find the deb in the archive directory
[03:26] <fyrestrtr> it will only download those that are needed.
[03:26] <Winkie> no, you'd scp them to another machine, place them all in /var/cache/apt/archives and apt-get upgrade
[03:26] <Winkie> well
[03:26] <Winkie> dist-upgrade
[03:26] <__nnx> Are there any hardware-specific things I ought to know about, i.e. drivers and such?  One is a machine using the nvidia drivers, and the other isn't.
[03:27] <Wibble-> I want to upgrade 5.10 to 6.06, but when I try to upgrade it says that some packages need to be removed - such as Eclipse and OpenOffice - is there any way to upgrade without them being removed?
[03:27] <Winkie> is there an easy way to build an automated custom kernel? I need to apply a single patch to a single file but i don't know if i can rebuild the kernel automatically on every upgrade
[03:28] <redblades> fyrestrtr, how do I change it?
[03:28] <Wibble-> Winkie, I don't that it'll answer your question - but look at kpkg.  If you can build the stuff you want as a module, use that to make a custom kernel module package then you can upgrade the rest of the kernel normally.
[03:28] <pvd> ah there we go asoundconf list
[03:29] <pvd> then asoundconf set-default-card CARD
[03:30] <Winkie> Wibble-: i'm not sure, it's hid-debug.h :)
[03:30] <Winkie> very small patch: http://bugme.osdl.org/attachment.cgi?id=5981&action=view
[03:30] <__nnx> Thanks for the help.  I appreciate it.  I'm hoping there's no hardware issues.
[03:30] <__nnx> Does anyone know if there are any issues between VMWare and 6.06?
[03:30] <Wibble-> *grin* My bet is that you can't do that then Winkie - you'll need to build your own kernel probably manually each time you upgrade
[03:31] <Wibble-> (not that I'd know...)
[03:31] <Winkie> damnit
[03:31] <Winkie> does anyone else know if there's an automated kernel building mechanism?
[03:32] <LjL> !kernel
[03:32] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux'). You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[03:32] <__nnx> Winkie: Wish I knew.  Most pre-built (non-Slackware) distros seem to be rather picky about rolling a custom kernel.
[03:33] <Barnog> Hello
[03:33] <Winkie> LjL: i checked that out but i'm talking something automated, it's a tiny patch which will apply correctly against pretty much every new kernel i suspect, i guess there's no makepkg clone :(
[03:34] <AlexC_> Hey
[03:34] <Barnog> how can I get a pdf icon for my pdf files in Nautilus?
[03:34] <AlexC_> Can any reccomend a good C++ book so I can start to learn C++ programmign for Linux,
[03:35] <vanberge> i joined this # using irssi
[03:35] <vanberge> seems pretty cool :-^
[03:35] <Winkie> it's ace
[03:35] <hikenboot> good morning another question....I have a ubuntu system which is booted into x windows..works great...the x configuration file contains frequency ranges and a mode line is there a way to translate this information into horizontal/verticle/color depth/etc so I can use its settings in my thinstation config..no mater what I put in for these parameters I get a black screen in thinstation...so I am hoping to steel the information from
[03:35] <hikenboot>  ubuntu
[03:35] <LjL> Winkie: i haven't compiled a kernel in a long time, and even when i did, i did things manually, sorry :(
[03:36] <Feli1> Hi. Some applications don't think I have sound :-( .  Help apreciated :-)
[03:36] <Feli1> For example, GNOME events are silent
[03:36] <Winkie> LjL: no worries, it's one of these bugs that will take ages to be committed
[03:37] <AlexC_> No one knows of a good C++ book the?
[03:37] <AlexC_> then*
[03:37] <KenSentMe> I'm running multiple ubuntu systems on my testing machine, how can i make sure that when i use ssh to connect, i don't always have to delete the key before i connect to another ubuntu system on the same ip?
[03:38] <Feli1> Can anybody help with my sound problem?
[03:38] <Wibble-> KenSentMe, Just a thought - try copying the DSA / RSA keys from one install to the others (/etc/ssh/)
[03:39] <Barnog> anybody has problems with pdf-file-icons? In Nautilus I only see a little version of the pdf file. Any ideas how to resolve this, please?
[03:39] <bina> if I want a newer library than is in the repos at the moment (libsigc++) is it safe for me to download the source and compile it?
[03:40] <KenSentMe> Wibble-: ah, ok. Can try that. I was thinking more like telling the system i connect from to not check if the key is valid from that ip adress
[03:40] <vanberge> alrightey... i think i got irssi going!  this is pretty cool!
[03:40] <KenSentMe> Barnog: works the same for me here, it's not an error or a bug
[03:41] <KenSentMe> vanberge: cool he
[03:41] <Barnog> Ken
[03:41] <Barnog> KenSentMe: thank you...but still trange
[03:41] <Wibble-> Barnog, indeed it is a feature of gnome that it displays little icons showing the first page of a PDF or text file.
[03:41] <MrStein> Hi! Lost my launchapad ID, how can I recover it ? I know my id : https://launchpad.net/people/xerces8
[03:41] <Wibble-> Helpful if you use the larger zooms for the icons.  Less helpful with small icons.
[03:42] <KenSentMe> Barnog: i don't like it too, i've been looking to change it, but haven't found a solution yet
[03:42] <vanberge> any irssi users; i got set up channel and server automation... would there be anything that anyone would recommend doing regardign look/feel or controls?
[03:42] <KenSentMe> vanberge: i changed the colors of my terminal client to black with green text
[03:42] <krazykit> vanberge: irssi.org has lots of great stuff. scripts, themes, and a nice faq
[03:42] <Wibble-> bina, Its not really advisable - if you do want to do it, make sure it is compiled with the same params as ubuntu one, and compile it into a package to install.  Don't try to do it outside of apt, thats just a big can'o'worms there
[03:42] <Barnog> And no chance to make a little red-white Adobe icon instead?
[03:43] <vanberge> KenSentMe: i have mine kind of like that, with transparency.  very cool.
[03:43] <vanberge> krazykit: thnx...  :-)
[03:43] <KenSentMe> vanberge: ah, ok
[03:43] <bina> Wibble-: oh right, good thing you told me :).  How do you find out what parameters the ubuntu one was compiled with?
[03:44] <Wibble-> Barnog, Look at system -> preferences -> file management.  Disable showing the preview for the files you want (such as "other previewable files") - that might be what you want?
[03:44] <Wibble-> bina, I don't know... I only know I tried it outside and got in to all sorts of mess - then got stuck trying to find the flags the original package was compiled with!!
[03:44] <vanberge> KenSentMe: what term. client you use?
[03:44] <jenda> Any idea how to switch on external display on my laptop? It gets switched when there's a device plugged in on startup
[03:45] <jenda> but I don't want to have to do that each time ;)
[03:45] <bina> Wibble-: hmm, i dont know whether i want to risk it now :P.  I suppose if I do it through apt then i can get rid of it n put the old one back in if all goes crazy
[03:45] <vanberge> jenda: maybe is a bios setting??
[03:45] <KenSentMe> vanberge: just the standard gnome client
[03:45] <KenSentMe> vanberge: or putty when on windows
[03:45] <skavenge> is there a straightforward way to disable touchpad clicking on an alps touchpad in dapper?
[03:45] <Wibble-> bina, and the other (perhaps more important) point is if you don't use apt properly, it will simply remove all other apps which use it (or have a broken system if you manually remove the package apt thinks is installed)
[03:45] <vanberge> KenSentMe: me too.... i've seen irssi screenshots with eterm/aterm where they do some cool stuff.  remove borders, etc.
[03:46] <jenda> vanberge: well - I want to be able to switch it on while the PC is running.
[03:46] <bina> Wibble-: oh yeah, didnt think about that.  Thanks :) if it tries to get rid of everything ill tell it no
[03:47] <bina> Wibble-: scary
[03:47] <Wibble-> bina, which is why apt needs to know its an "upgrade" ;) - The joys of using a package management system means its much harder to break out of it and still keep the system ticking along
[03:48] <bina> Wibble-: hehe, looks like im going to have to read some documentation
[03:48] <Wibble-> *shudder* ;)
[03:48] <bina> lol
[03:51] <KenSentMe> Barnog: i found the solution
[03:51] <neil> hi
[03:51] <KenSentMe> Barnog: go to terminal and type gconf-editor
[03:52] <neil> i would like a newer version of a pkg (gphoto) should i compile it or are there any unofficial repositories around?
[03:52] <KenSentMe> Barnog: then go to Apps-Nautilus-Preferences and change the show_image_thumbnails to never. Now restart your desktop by ctrl-alt-backspace and voila
[03:53] <Barnog> KenSentMe: trying
[03:53] <KenSentMe> Barnog: worked for me
[03:53] <Wibble-> KenSentMe, a lot of those settings are in the UI too - That one is in system -> preferences -> file management - safer to use the UI than use gconf-editor
[03:54] <Barnog> Wibble-: I dont have a File mnagement option
[03:55] <Wibble-> Oh! Odd.  I guess that might have something to do with Gnome versions? I'm using 2.12.1
[03:56] <Barnog> Wibble-: 2.14
[03:57] <KenSentMe> Wibble-: me neither
[03:57] <sophie^> anyone here who tried novell login in ubuntu? i need help in setting up pam and gdm for that
[03:57] <Wibble-> Curious! I would have thought it would be a new thing rather than one taken out... Perhaps its called something different.
[03:57] <Barnog> KenSentMe: works for me as well, strange that I cannot find it with google. Thank you
[03:58] <vanberge> is there a way to start gnome-terminal with tabs already open? one of the tabs executing a program (i.e. irssi) ?
[03:58] <AlexC_> Anyone know of a good C++ book so I can stat to learn to create programs for Linux?
[03:58] <tarvid_> after dapper upgrade i get E: Unable to parse package file /var/lib/dpkg/status (1)
[03:58] <KenSentMe> Barnog: under Desktop-Gnome-Thumbnailers you can disable the thumbnails as well or only for a few filetypes
[03:58] <vanberge> AlexC_: dont buy a book... do a tut on line!
[03:58] <tarvid_> any way to fix that?
[03:59] <AlexC_> vanberge: Aye, but I like having a book!
[03:59] <logan> vanberge: you may execute gnome-terminal -e irssi or any command that is executable
[03:59] <AlexC_> vanberge: i'm tempted to just copy/paste with a tut online
[03:59] <rixxon> gpg question: do i set default-key to my "pub" key id or "sub" key id?
[03:59] <skavenge> well that was lovely frostwire took a dive and froze my session
[03:59] <KenSentMe> vanberge: what do you mean tabs already open?
[03:59] <vanberge> logan: i found that via the man page - but i'd like to start up gnome-terminal with a couple tabs
[04:00] <thanos> anybody knows were can i download mp3 and dvd codecs for ubuntu?
[04:00] <Barnog> Is there an known issue with pdf plugins for Firefox/epiphany?
[04:00] <vanberge> KenSentMe: you can open tabs in one terminal window... so you can have 2, 3 term windows actually tabbed like firefox
[04:00] <andi5> hey... probably faq, but: how do i tell gnome which channel volume to adjust when i press XF86Audio{Lower,Raise} (resp. the keys i declared in the control center) ....  i thought this would be possible by choosing the channel in the volume applet, but it still adjusts PCM and not Front... thanks in advance!
[04:00] <KenSentMe> vanberge: i run my irssi in screen mode, so when i close my terminal my irc session just continues
[04:00] <KenSentMe> vanberge: didn't know that
[04:00] <morphix> i accidentally deleted files from phpmyadmin, so i uninstalled it.. then reinstalled.. but i gets errors saying "not replacing delete file, blabla" how can i FORCE aptitude to install EVERYTHING for phpmyadmin?
[04:00] <vanberge> KenSentMe: its pretty cool  :-)
[04:01] <vanberge> KenSentMe: so i thought if i could make a launcher for gnome terminal, 1 tab being irssi, 1 tab being normal term window that would be bad ass!
[04:01] <VIMmer> hi, i am on Dapper. I want to boost up the bootup of my machine, so I wanted to disable the bluetooth in the start up. How do I do that?
[04:01] <pvd> my superkey doesnt work and when I try to goto system > preferences > keyboard > layout options nothing is there and it says system does not seem to have the XKB exntension, anyway I can get it?
[04:02] <KenSentMe> vanberge: would be leet ;)
[04:02] <vanberge> VIMmer: settings > administration > services??
[04:02] <skavenge> any straightforward method of disabling touchpad clicking with an alps touchpad in dapper?
[04:02] <vanberge> VIMmer: sorry, system > administration > services.
[04:02] <Alecx> hi
[04:02] <vanberge> might help you?
[04:03] <logan> VIMer: well, i do not think it is listed under services. one really hackish way is to actually rename or move the bluez-utils script from the /etc/init.d directory ...
[04:03] <Alecx> me ?
[04:03] <vanberge> KenSentMe: there must be a way to do it... i'll find it
[04:03] <VIMmer> vanberge, the bluetooth doesnt feature in that list
[04:04] <VIMmer> k
[04:04] <Stork> is there any way to start a really minimalized version of gdm suitable for playing games (quake4) on and saving resources?
[04:04] <vanberge> VIMmer: hmm... im not sure then.  fedora has a command that lets you see all the services starting up.  "ntsysv"
[04:04] <aLPHa_LeaK> Stork: just dont use it
[04:04] <vanberge> but that is not a valid ubuntu comand
[04:04] <Stork> aLPHa_LeaK, kinda hard to play a game without a display
[04:05] <aLPHa_LeaK> Stork: yes, but you dont need gdm for that.
[04:05] <Stork> i don't?
[04:05] <Stork> what do you mean?
[04:06] <VIMmer> logan, any idea which file contains that line?
[04:06] <aLPHa_LeaK> Stork: use a .xinitrc and type "startx"
[04:06] <vanberge> Stork: you mean a light window manager?
[04:06] <logan> not the file.
[04:06] <vanberge> not a login manager
[04:06] <logan> VIMer: the file /etc/init.d/bluez-utils
[04:06] <logan> VIMer: it can be moved to any other directory
[04:06] <logan> VIMer: since the system cannot find the script on bootup, it will be skipped
[04:06] <vanberge> Stork: check out fluxbox.
[04:07] <aLPHa_LeaK> yup.
[04:07] <Barnog> I have the Adobe Reader 7 plugin installed but whenever I wnat to view a pdf file the browser window remains empty. If I try to do with Swiftfox - voila !! PDF-view. any explanation/solution?
[04:07] <aLPHa_LeaK> i use it as well.
[04:07] <Stork> aLPHa_LeaK, what's an .xinitrc
[04:08] <aLPHa_LeaK> Stork: it is a script that is executed when X is started (ie the GUI) and it contains a list of all the programs that you want to start when you start X
[04:08] <vanberge> KenSentMe: in gnome-terminal... hit shift+ctrl+ T
[04:09] <VIMmer> vanberge, i think the counterpart of that script in Ubuntu is sysv-rc-conf
[04:09] <VIMmer> just found it on a site
[04:09] <vanberge> VIMmer: cool, thnkx for the info... did that help you?
[04:09] <Stork> aLPHa_LeaK, where do i find xinitrc?
[04:09] <VIMmer> well, i am just installing that app
[04:10] <VIMmer> u want the link?
[04:10] <VIMmer> here it is anyway: http://doc.gwos.org/index.php/Speed_up_boot
[04:11] <Mewshi> hi
[04:11] <aLPHa_LeaK> Stork: you have to create it with a text editor
[04:11] <Stork> aLPHa_LeaK, ah, nice one.. i can make an .xinitrc containing only 'quake4', that way x doesn't load anything else
[04:12] <MrStein> any channel, mail list or web page for ubuntu translations ?
[04:12] <Stork> in retrospect, quake4 was so damn slow on windows
[04:12] <KenSentMe> vanberge: already found that, just never thought of it
[04:12] <aLPHa_LeaK> Stork: exactly.
[04:12] <aLPHa_LeaK> Stork: but then if you wanted to use gnome, you would have o rewrite it...
[04:13] <KenSentMe> MrStein: check launchpad.net, it's the site where you can translate ubuntu
[04:13] <theine> aLPHa_LeaK: actually, I believe ~/.xinitrc is ignored if you use gdm
[04:13] <Stork> aLPHa_LeaK, if a .xinitrc isn't present in my home dir, it uses the default one
[04:13] <aLPHa_LeaK> theine: yes, i advised him to not use it ;)
[04:14] <aLPHa_LeaK> Stork: or another way would be to add a quake4.session file to your gdm thingie.
[04:14] <Stork> i don't like flux anyways
[04:14] <theine> aLPHa_LeaK: i mean, if he wants to switch to Gnome, he can just start gdm and leave ~/.xinitrc unmodified
[04:14] <aLPHa_LeaK> i dont know how to do that tho, cos i dont use gdm ;)
[04:14] <aLPHa_LeaK> theine: well, yeah.
[04:14] <KenSentMe> vanberge: i just found out that the terminal overrules the irssi option to use alt+1,2,3 to switch between channels
[04:14] <andi5> how do i tell gnome which channel volume to adjust when i press XF86Audio{Lower,Raise} (resp. the keys i declared in the control center) ....  i thought this would be possible by choosing the channel in the volume applet, but it still adjusts PCM and not Front... thanks in advance!
[04:15] <theine> Stork: ~/.xinitrc is only read if you start X with startx
[04:15] <vanberge> KenSentMe: nice!  now if i could only find how to make gnome terminal start with two tabs!
[04:15] <theine> Stork: What's the path to the quake4 binary?
[04:16] <Stork> it's in /usr/local/bin
[04:16] <infinity_> how do i upgrade my kernel? whenever i put in change "nvidia" to "nv" or "vesa" in my xorg.conf to upgrad ethe kernel it always fails to run xserver
[04:16] <vanberge> infinity_: did you install the nvidia drivers??
[04:17] <infinity_> yea im pretty sur ei did i ran automatix and also my xorg.conf runs with "nvidia" as the driver and i am also able to run compiz/xgl
[04:17] <vanberge> infinity_: why do you want to change it to nv or vesa then?
[04:17] <vanberge> that takes away the nvidia drivers
[04:18] <fijam> hello. I messed things up during the installation of xubuntu alternative and I need some help
[04:18] <theine> Stork: then do: echo exec /usr/local/bin/quake4 > ~/.xinitrc
[04:18] <fijam> the problem is that I added user, and it is not in sudoers list
[04:19] <fijam> how to fix it?
[04:19] <aLPHa_LeaK> theine: but gdm is in init
[04:19] <LamaZitten> Hello everyone. I need to copy some files localy from one hard disk to another, is there a way I can be sure the data is not corrupted in the process? some kind of error checking? its over 250 GB of files.
[04:19] <theine> aLPHa_LeaK: ?
[04:19] <theine> aLPHa_LeaK: what do you mean "in init"?
[04:19] <aLPHa_LeaK> theine: it gets started at bootup:/
[04:19] <aLPHa_LeaK> argh.
[04:20] <Stork> theine, why?
[04:20] <vanberge> KenSentMe: i got it!  if you're interested
[04:20] <theine> aLPHa_LeaK: yes, he has to stop gdm before launching startx
[04:20] <skavenge> after watching a few music videos the colors on all video file types wash out and are hard to see, i can fix with a reset but is there another way?
[04:21] <theine> Stork: that will give you the right ~/.xinitrc
[04:21] <moogman> Hi. I would like to maximise a program when I run it, is this possible, via the command line?
[04:21] <aLPHa_LeaK> i thought it shuts down ubuntu...not enough gdm experience here
[04:21] <Stork> theine, what's wrong with the current one?
[04:21] <LamaZitten> Can anyone help me please?
[04:21] <moogman> I would also like to move it to a different virtual desktop, if thats possible too
[04:21] <theine> Stork: Probably nothing, I though you haven't created it yet
[04:21] <KenSentMe> vanberge: tell me
[04:22] <vanberge> here's the command i just used...
[04:22] <KenSentMe> vanberge: the option of overruling the alt commands is not nice
[04:22] <haakonn> i'm trying to upgrade my dapper to 2.6.17 with make-kpkg. i copied ubuntu's 2.6.15 .config and only changed it by enabling SMP (this laptop is a core duo). it's in menu.lst with the same parameters as the old kernel, but now i get: "VFS: cannot open root device "sda1" or unknown-block(0,0) / Please append a correct "root=" boot option" and then it panics. ideas?
[04:22] <vanberge> KenSentMe: gnome-terminal --hide-menubar --tab-with-profile=trans --tab-with-profile=trans
[04:22] <benoit> I need a pro of VLC for 2 dumbs question (pm me please !!)
[04:22] <vanberge> KenSentMe: i have a profile named trans.  just sub that for whatever yours is named
[04:22] <fijam> could anyone help? after installing xubuntu and running oem-config-prepare my user cannot use sudo. how to fix it?
[04:23] <KenSentMe> vanberge: ah, cool, thanx
[04:23] <kojak> !w32codecs
[04:23] <ubotu> w32codecs can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages. Also see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html
[04:23] <theine> fijam: what's the output of id?
[04:24] <LamaZitten> Anyone please? i'm sure there is a simple program I'm missing...
[04:24] <haakonn> the only difference is that the new kernel does not have an initrd
[04:24] <vanberge> LamaZitten: you just want to use cp? from command line?
[04:24] <fijam> I cannot check now. But when I type sudo and some command I get info that fijam is not in sudoers list
[04:24] <LamaZitten> yes, but I wonder if there is a way to make sure my data is safe on the new hd, before I erase the old hd
[04:24] <vanberge> LamaZitten: if you are just copying, don't worry about corruption.  even if something really bad happene'd you'd still have the original correct?
[04:24] <infinity_> vanberge: sry i went afk, i want to change it to nv or vesa cuz in the guide to upgrade the kernel it tells me to
[04:24] <stocksy> LamaZitten: i think rsync has an option to verify files - I'll check
[04:24] <sword-> whats going one
[04:24] <sword-> on
[04:25] <sword-> has anyone installed the latested nvidia drivers?
[04:25] <sword-> on breezy
[04:25] <theine> fijam: what's your username?
[04:25] <LamaZitten> thanks stocksy :)
[04:25] <vanberge> infinity_: is there a specific reason you want to install a new kernel?
[04:25] <fijam> theine: fijam
[04:25] <kojak> anyone knw how i can get win32codes
[04:25] <robert__> When I move a window over the Gaim buddy list, the names disappear. Is this a known bug or something? I looks like all treelists have the same problem
[04:26] <theine> fijam: then try "sudo adduser fijam admin"
[04:26] <haakonn> me, i want to upgrade my kernel because of better core duo support
[04:26] <fijam> theine: from recovery mode?
[04:26] <sword-> i'm having trouble getting X to run with the latest nvidia drivers
[04:26] <sword-> I also updated my kernel to <IP_ADDRESS>
[04:26] <KenSentMe> vanberge: the way to change my tab problem is opening gconf-editor, go to Apps-Gnome_terminal and change the keybindings to <Shift><Alt>1 etc.
[04:26] <fijam> theine: ah, I understood
[04:27] <varsendaggr> ubotu tell sword- about nvidia
[04:27] <fijam> theine: will try
[04:27] <sopido> hi.. is there already a deb of inkscape .44 for dapper out?
[04:27] <varsendaggr> sword-, what is going on
[04:28] <sword-> hey...X fails to load the GLX module , but the way i did it is was go to the nvidia site and run the shell script to instlal everything
[04:30] <stocksy> LamaZitten: I can't find anything about it in the rsync docs :(
[04:30] <LamaZitten> stocksy: Aw to bad :/ Well thanks anyway, i'l try to find an alternative
[04:31] <sword-> thanks though brb
[04:31] <KenSentMe> vanberge: ah, doesn't work that great, changed it back
[04:32] <vanberge> infinity_: KenSentMe im noticing that i dont like it as well.
[04:33] <vanberge> woops... lol
[04:33] <joachim-n> why can't I see other computers in Network?
[04:34] <DR_K13> hi internets
[04:34] <DR_K13> hi internets
[04:34] <infinity_> vanberge: i want to enable SMB and i thought while im at it why not just get the upgraded kernel cuz it prolly fixed some bugs and has improvements aswell
[04:34] <infinity_> vanberge: err ri meant SMP
[04:34] <vanberge> infinity_: all you have to do is run update manager - that will automatically install the latest kernel
[04:34] <vanberge> infinity_: unless you want to run a special compiled kernel?
[04:35] <infinity_> vanberge: yea
[04:35] <skavenge> any straightforward method of disabling touchpad clicking with an alps touchpad in dapper?
[04:35] <infinity_> vanberge: like ive compiled a kernel b4 when i installed gentoo a few months ago so im not completely lost
[04:36] <vanberge> infinity_: ok... i see. :-)  well, i won't be much help there. sorry
[04:36] <vanberge> :-)
[04:36] <Noriega> hey
[04:37] <bobc> I have a computer with Dapper Drake that the network does not come up properly on boot.  there are just repeated eth0: link down eth0: link up messages - dozens every minute. if do a sudo ifdown eth0 then sudo ifup eth0 it then works fine unti the next boot. any ideas why it isn't work at boot?
[04:37] <stocksy> LamaZitten: rsync -car /old/dir /new/dir    (the -c option compares the checksums)
[04:37] <LamaZitten> stocksy: wow thanks, thats just what I needed :D thanks a lot!
[04:37] <left_via> hi, anyone has an idea why gconf-editor wont let me change the compiz options? o_O
[04:37] <joachim-n> I used to be able to connect to my powerbook. I see nothing in the network window
[04:38] <stocksy> LamaZitten: no problem.  Oooh, make sure you put a trailing / on the paths if they are directories, too
[04:38] <haakonn> if i have simply installed ubuntu from a standard dapper livecd, am i using non-proprietary nvidia drivers?
[04:39] <LamaZitten> stocksy: Trailing? you mean /old/dir/ ?
[04:39] <sword-> im getting trouble installing an nvidia module
[04:39] <bobc> haakonn: yes, you're using the nv driver
[04:39] <stocksy> LamaZitten: yes
[04:39] <sword-> brb
[04:39] <LamaZitten> stocksy: ok thanks i'l do that ^^
[04:39] <haakonn> bobc:  and the nv driver is the free/non-proprietary one?
[04:40] <bobc> haakonn: yes, nvidia is the proprietary driver
[04:40] <haakonn> okey, thanks
[04:40] <haakonn> i know there are some non-free stuff on the cd, so i wasn't sure
[04:41] <Chetic> How do I set a password for root?
[04:41] <bobc> to add the proprietary driver you would need to install nvidia-glx
[04:41] <vanberge> for irssi users:  is there a better recommended way to switch between #'s?  or is ctrl-n / ctrl-p pretty easy once you get used to it (im trying to switch from xchat!)
[04:41] <haakonn> bobc:  don't want it :)
[04:42] <Cntryboy> Anyone know how to make vlc my default player, so stupid totem won't keep popping up?
[04:43] <steri> vanberge: ctrl+arrows? alt+(1-0)and (alt+q-p)
[04:44] <joachim-n> how do I get sendmail?
[04:45] <vanberge> steri: alt numbers works good... thanks!

[04:46] <Cntryboy> Anyone know how to make vlc my default player, so stupid totem won't keep popping up?
[04:46] <Chetic> When I try to mount an NTFS partition I get this errormessage: "Error: device /dev/hdc1 is not removable"
[04:47] <Chetic> What does it even mean?
[04:47] <vanberge> is there a way to configure a launcher in gnome so that it lauches fully maximized?
[04:47] <Hit3k> it means /dev/hdc1 is not removable :)
[04:47] <Chetic> it is perfectly removable!
[04:47] <Chetic> just unplug it and remove it
[04:47] <Chetic> but that's not what it means..
[04:47] <theine> joachim-n: sudo apt-get install sendmail
[04:48] <HiP_P> just got get bloody X server to work
[04:49] <ompaul> HiP_P, take it easy, what kind of video card have you got
[04:49] <steri> vanberge: alt+ first letter row are 11-19 :) if you have that many channels
[04:49] <vanberge> lol... steri i do not.  :-)  thanks though
[04:49] <Arafangion> steri: Does that assume a qwerty keyboard?
[04:50] <Chetic> How do I mount a device that is not removable?
[04:50] <HiP_P> ompaul: it wasnt angry.... non i think one of them mother board jobbys
[04:51] <HiP_P> ill just run a probe on it
[04:51] <hurricane> hi
[04:51] <ompaul> HiP_P, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver.xorg << when you run that don't worry about anything other than choosing "vesa" and that should get you off the ground
[04:51] <ompaul> HiP_P, thats vesa for card type
[04:52] <HiP_P> ahhhh thats the one i was looking for
[04:52] <Cntryboy> HIP_P did you lose X or something?
[04:52] <vanberge> geez i am stuck! i want to click a launcher for gnome-terminal and have it start full screen.  that shouldnt be hard!
[04:53] <divineomega> Hi. I'm having a few issues with some programs not redrawing their list boxes correctly, such as GAIM and the Device manager.
[04:53] <HiP_P> na just not used to debian
[04:53] <Cntryboy> vanberge: everything is hard in linux if you don't know how lol
[04:54] <timas> Howdy folks, anyone available to answer some questions about mounting around boot time?
[04:54] <divineomega> !redraw
[04:54] <ubotu> I know nothing about redraw
[04:54] <Rendo> Anyone like Hockey?
[04:54] <Arafangion> Cntryboy: Correction: Everything is _impossible_ unless you know how. Once you know how, you have worked it out, either intellectually, accidentally, or circumstantually.
[04:54] <ompaul> !offtopic
[04:54] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[04:54] <joachim-n> could someone help me with networking>
[04:54] <skavenge> right now i'm having to run 'modprobe -r bcm43xx' then 'modprobe ndiswrapper' then ejecting the wireless nic and reinserting to get it to work on bootup, can i solve this so it will work automatically?
[04:54] <Cainus> hey all.. I have php and mysql working fine, but php won't see mysql, even after I've installed the php4-mysql package... anyone know what could be wrong?
[04:55] <HiP_P> ummm ok weird
[04:55] <Chetic> How do I mount a device that it says is not removable?
[04:55] <vanberge> Cntryboy: well, i'm pretty good at linux.  just new to ubuntu / gnome
[04:55] <HiP_P> ok pm you ompaul?
[04:55] <ompaul> HiP_P, what is weird?
[04:55] <timas> I'm having trouble with the newer kernels to mount my root partition..
[04:56] <ompaul> HiP_P,  you can but I prefer channel
[04:56] <HiP_P> okey dokey
[04:56] <timas> At boot time, that is. So my machine wont get past boot unless I stick to the -19 kernel
[04:56] <Cntryboy> Arafangion: yeah, and it's hard if you don't know how lol.. No correction to it.. even if you do figure it out and dont write it down, more than likely you will forget the command or what not.
[04:56] <HiP_P> well xserver is installed but saying its not
[04:56] <ompaul> timas, read the page wiki.ubuntu.com/BootOptions
[04:56] <NoUse> Cainus did you edit /etc/php4/apache2/php.ini and enable the mysql module?
[04:57] <Detox> hello folks !!!! haev a question about ubuntu-server 6.0.6,,,, I realize the 'purest' would snub his nose at my wanting a desktop on it, but it is easier for me to navigate,, so here is my question >>>>>>  I am installing the server portion onto my hd, then, isntead of spending 3 hours typngin all the stuff to add, I want to do a apt-get isntalll ubuntu-desktop,,, after that, I will copy / past all the stuff into command line from the
[04:57] <Detox> doc on line to set up server.... what do you folsk tink about this?
[04:57] <ompaul> HiP_P, do this >>sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop<< if you want gnome
[04:57] <noiesmo> how do i convert an existing Linux ext2 filesystem to an ext3 file system without data loss
[04:57] <Cainus> NoUse: yeah...seems like a common ubuntu problem from the forums, but I haven't found the answer yet
[04:57] <Cntryboy> Anyone know how to make vlc my default player, so stupid totem won't keep popping up?
[04:57] <jenda> I have a projector and would like to project movies on it with xine. Can somebody help me do that? ATM, xine only projects on the screen and shows blank on the prjector.

[04:57] <Detox> thanks
[04:57] <softwork> why run asp pages in linux?
[04:57] <Arafangion> noiesmo: Then reading 'man mkfs.ext3' or similar.
[04:57] <fijam> hello again
[04:58] <NoUse> Cainus you might need to stop/start apaceh rather than restarting
[04:58] <fijam> thaine: now sudo works

[04:58] <Arafangion> softwork: Why do people write HTML?
[04:58] <Detox> have agreat day!!
[04:58] <timas> ompaul: Because the boot options didn't change, its really just kernel that did
[04:58] <ompaul> HiP_P, the lighter modules are icewm and xfce we have the xfce-desktop which sets up lots of lightweight software
[04:58] <Arafangion> softwork: Ask a better question.

[04:58] <softwork> yes
[04:59] <javi__> why my ubuntu doesn't show any printer fabricant and driver when i try to install a new printer?
[04:59] <ompaul> timas,  have you installed the modules with that kernel?
[04:59] <noiesmo> Arafangion, hmm backup ofcourse was more think tune2fs
[04:59] <HiP_P> get icewm yeah?
[04:59] <Cainus> NoUse: thanks... I'll give that a shot
[04:59] <ompaul> HiP_P, I would actually say for speed xfce in the form of the prepackaged xubuntu-desktop after you have that you can get the other packages with ease
[05:00] <timas> ompaul: I just got the kernel through apt-get?
[05:00] <bluefoxicy> ubotu, prelink
[05:00] <ubotu> I know nothing about prelink
[05:00] <joachim-n> where do I set my password?
[05:00] <Arafangion> noiesmo: Ahh, I thought that mkfs.ext3 did that, but apparently not - it did refer to tune2fs, though.
[05:00] <ompaul> HiP_P, sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop
[05:00] <bluefoxicy> Hey
[05:00] <bluefoxicy> about how much disk space should I have free before running prelink?
[05:00] <HiP_P> ah on a 64mb ram here so that why going for small mini stuff
[05:01] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: You are optimizing the wrong things, imho.
[05:01] <noiesmo> Arafangion, found it tune2fs -j /dev/hdb1 thanks to Healot
[05:01] <Cainus> NoUse: hey...any idea why there might not be apachectl on this box?
[05:01] <bluefoxicy> Arafangion:  huh?
[05:01] <timas> cainus, which apache version do you have?
[05:01] <ompaul> HiP_P, well that might just run but 128 i think is minimum I don't think that the xserver will run .. but if it does then that would be the fast route to being productive
[05:01] <Chetic> How do I mount a device that it says is not removable?
[05:01] <Cainus> timas: 2
[05:02] <timas> cainus try apache2ctl <com>
[05:02] <timas> cainus: where <com> is the followed command ;)
[05:02] <Cainus> aww geez..yeah...forgot about that...thanks :)
[05:02] <HiP_P> okey ill give it a go
[05:02] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: Unless I'm incorrect, prelinking can make for a more complicated dependency and binary package update, and only makes it a little faster.
[05:02] <Cntryboy> Doesn't anyone here know how to make a program default rather than what's already default?
[05:02] <ompaul> timas, did you get the kernel headers?
[05:02] <ompaul> timas, make it easy for me what kernel did you get
[05:02] <bluefoxicy> Arafangion:  that wasn't the question
[05:02] <noiesmo> Cntryboy, run kcontrol then change the association under kde components
[05:03] <skavenge> right now i'm having to run 'modprobe -r bcm43xx' then 'modprobe ndiswrapper' then ejecting the wireless nic and reinserting to get it to work on bootup, can i solve this so it will work automatically?
[05:03] <Cainus> NoUse, timas: thanks... that fixed it!
[05:03] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: From memory, prelinking is usually done to achieve higher application load times, right?
[05:03] <Cntryboy> noiesmo, will that still work if im using gnome?
[05:04] <Cntryboy> bash: kcontrol: command not found
[05:04] <joachim-n> networkhelp, anyone?
[05:04] <bluefoxicy> Arafangion:  lower
[05:04] <timas> ompaul: My problem is this: I installed my machine around the -18 kernel, I upgraded to the -19, at -20 it stopped working and now I'm in need of the kernel-headers and can't get them for the -19 anymore.. so I'm going to have to resort to using the new kernel, which just wont boot. It stops after 'waiting for root' for two or so minutes and drops me in a betterbox with no info at all besides that it can't mount my drives, at all
[05:04] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: Heh, indeed, my mistake. :)
[05:04] <bluefoxicy> Arafangion:  anyway my question wasn't about what it's for
[05:04] <timas> cainus: My pleasure :)
[05:04] <joachim-n> I can see my remote mount, but it's totally empty
[05:05] <tmn_> Hi! ... how do I change the Ubuntu system charset from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 ?
[05:05] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: I should get to bed.  I would err on the side of caution - I have been told that prelinking where you don't have sufficient space can result in major b0rkage.
[05:05] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: The gentoo guys should know! :)
[05:05] <bluefoxicy> Arafangion:  "sufficient space" <-- numbers?
[05:05] <bluefoxicy> (and yes prelink does have that bug)
[05:06] <tmn_> are there any method to get from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS ?
[05:06] <timas> Gota go for food, be back after
[05:06] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: If I were to try it, I'd probably go for having at least as much free space as one has for all their OS files, and a huge amount of /tmp as well.
[05:06] <Cntryboy> joachim-n did you set up your mount correctly?
[05:06] <joachim-n> it used to work on Breezy
[05:06] <joachim-n> I've since upgraded to Dapper
[05:07] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: That'd even allow me to replace glibc, etc :)
[05:07] <bluefoxicy> heh
[05:07] <tdn> For some reason the Ubuntu splash screen doesn't come up on one of my computers during bootup. How come?
[05:07] <bluefoxicy> it's interesting google doesn't have this
[05:07] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: Let me look.
[05:08] <Cntryboy> joachim-n: are you mounting a hd?
[05:08] <bluefoxicy> Arafangion:  I already know all the numbers, I have other reasons for asking ;)
[05:08] <joachim-n> mounting a share from OS X
[05:09] <fulat2k> hi folks, i've got xgl/compiz installed and working.  but there seems to be some odd stuff when running vlc.  there's no window manager (i hope i got that correct) surrounding vlc windows.  any idea why?
[05:09] <arbeck77> I'm having trouble making anything USB 2.0 work
[05:09] <skavenge> any straightforward method of disabling touchpad clicking with an alps touchpad in dapper?
[05:09] <jbcnle> Hi anyone familiar with libcurl on Ubuntu ? I'm not able to get pycurl to find what is normally at /usr/local/bin/curl-config
[05:10] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: This is probably the best I can find, but I didn't use google: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/hints/downloads/files/prelink.txt
[05:11] <fijam> I have got a problem. I have an ADSL modem that does not work with Ubuntu without some packages. But to install these I need hotplug, pppoe, gcc and make. What should I do?
[05:11] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: Also, be aware that the numbers that site gives for requirements for prelinking the "entire system" assumes that the "system" is built according to LinuxFromScratch'es guides, and it's an extremely minimal system.
[05:11] <arbeck77> basically i get this error message when ever i plug in a 2.0 device
[05:11] <bluefoxicy> - Secondly you need at least 50 megabytes of free space to prelink the whole
[05:11] <bluefoxicy> system; up to 200 megabytes of free space is needed if you have a lot installed.
[05:11] <arbeck77> [17832257.072000]  usb 3-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 15

[05:12] <Snake> POLL: Evolution Mail or Thunderbrid?
[05:12] <lamego> jbcnle, I don't have experience which curl but the standard path for binaries on ubuntu is /usr/bin, not /usr/local/bin, I do have /usr/bin/curl-config
[05:12] <arbeck77> if i remove ehci-hcd (modprobe -r ehci-hcd) it will work as a 1.1 device
[05:12] <bluefoxicy> Arafangion: Ubuntu grew by less than 3MiB (2984 bytes per binary)
[05:12] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: Believe me when I say that LFS systems are minimal.
[05:13] <Alecx> Could you help me ?
[05:13] <Healot> arbeck77: does the device detected/worked?
[05:13] <jbcnle> lamego can you check somehow which package installed that ?
[05:13] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: G"night :)  Have fun with prelinking :)
[05:13] <arbeck77> Healot: only after i remove ehci-hcd
[05:13] <bluefoxicy> Arafangion:  actually I'm writing up a security flaw in prelink ;)
[05:13] <peibol> someones plays bomberclone?
[05:13] <Alecx> Install of windows have broken grub and i can't start ubuntu
[05:13] <b-rad> Does anyone have a working CUPS install on Dapper?  I keep hanging at the 426 Upgrade Required page.
[05:13] <bluefoxicy> just needed a bit more information for background on it
[05:13] <Healot> arbeck77: do you plugged a 1.1 device to the same hub?
[05:13] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: Cool :)
[05:14] <bluefoxicy> and the space usage thing seemed to be something I keep hearing about
[05:14] <lamego> jbcnle, I have installed libcurl3-dev right now, just to check your problem, I guess it came from it
[05:14] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: Are you posting this on a website? I might check it out.
[05:14] <jbcnle> I don't have the dev version
[05:14] <bluefoxicy> Arafangion: gonna sell it to LWN
[05:14] <arbeck77> Healot: there is no hub, it's straight into the computer.  My mouse is USB 1.1 and in another port
[05:14] <jbcnle> that might be it lamego - where do I get that ?
[05:14] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: Cool, they just got another reader ;)
[05:14] <tmn_> can someone help me with this one: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=202960
[05:14] <Arafangion> bluefoxicy: Cya :)
[05:14] <lamego> jbcnle, just: sudo apt-get install libcurl3-dev
[05:15] <jbcnle> word thanks lamego
[05:15] <bluefoxicy> later
[05:16] <Healot> is it connected at the side-by-side port? the mouse and the 2.0 device? arbeck77
[05:16] <Cntryboy> Anyone know how to make vlc my default player, so stupid totem won't keep popping up?
[05:16] <jbcnle> lamego have a look at this - maybe you can tell me what's going wrong with the gcc http://paste.plone.org/4869
[05:16] <joachim-n> what does WINS server mean?
[05:17] <midas> hi everybody
[05:17] <arbeck77> Healot, no.  The mouse is in the back, the usb 2.0 devices are in the front (I've tried a camera, a HD and an iPod)
[05:17] <Frogzoo> the light on my usb key stays on even after it's been unmounted - how can I get it to turn off once it's unmounted?
[05:17] <Thib_G> Hello
[05:17] <Healot> arbeck77: what device are you trying to connect anyways?
[05:17] <skavenge> right now i'm having to run 'modprobe -r bcm43xx' then 'modprobe ndiswrapper' then ejecting the wireless nic and reinserting to get it to work on bootup, can i solve this so it will work automatically?
[05:17] <Frogzoo> joachim-n: WINS= windows name service - samba can act as a WINS server np
[05:17] <joachim-n> ok
[05:17] <Thib_G> I would like to add SAGEM FAST 800 modem support in a LiveCD
[05:18] <tmn_> Are there any method to change from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 in ubuntu 6.06 LTS? Not everyone is using UTF-8 and the aterm doesn't seeme to support it.
[05:18] <tmn_> The terminal displya the Norwegian characters OK, but when i connect to a remote shell, it displays some unreadable characters. So is there a solution to this problem.. or a way to get back to iso-8859-1 .. I'm a fan to aterm, and I don't think aterm is supporting UTF-8 =/
[05:18] <lamego> jbcnle, curl-config --version
[05:18] <Thib_G> But I can't install it with chroot
[05:18] <joachim-n> well the ethernet connection is not the problem - I can see web pages from OS X's apache
[05:18] <lamego> jbcnle, the curl version provided for ubuntu doesn't meet the requirements for pycurl
[05:18] <Thib_G> ( depmod & uname are retrieving host system informations )
[05:18] <jbcnle> :-(
[05:18] <lamego> jbcnle, did you checked if there is a pycurl version available so that you don't need to compile it manually ?
[05:19] <jbcnle> yes I looked in packages
[05:19] <Frogzoo> skavenge: put the driver names in the right order in /etc/modules & reboot
[05:19] <_nano_> how do I prevent network manager from asking me the gnome keyring password everytime i boot or reconnect?
[05:19] <jbcnle> but nothing came up
[05:19] <arbeck77> Healot, right now my camera.  But I also have an iPod and an external HD that I would like to use sometimes
[05:19] <jbcnle> there should be
[05:19] <lamego> jbcnle, apt-cache search python curl
[05:19] <lamego> it did came up :)
[05:19] <lamego> python2.4-pycurl - Python bindings to libcurl
[05:19] <jbcnle> whoa
[05:19] <tmn_> :(
[05:19] <lamego> just install it with apt :)
[05:19] <midas> i want to install opera,but i have a prob :(  it doesnt install because of this : not writable by user "midas". sudo didn't help too what can i do now ??
[05:19] <jbcnle> ok thanks for that cmd
[05:20] <jbcnle> it will sure come in handy lamego
[05:20] <lamego> midas, when did you gor that error ?
[05:20] <lamego> jbcnle, np :)
[05:20] <BIAF> anyone here good with the ins and outs of webmin
[05:20] <Arafangion> tmn: What feature of aterm do you like? (Apart from the speed)
[05:20] <joachim-n> how do I enable NFS sharing>

[05:20] <Thib_G> ?
[05:21] <lamego> joachim-n, you mean installing an nfs service ?
[05:21] <midas> i went to the dir, and used ./install.sh. the installation starts, (i can choose y,n,c) and after that i get this msg
[05:21] <joachim-n> yes. I've just installed nfs-common with synaptic. how do I now get it as a sharing option?
[05:22] <midas> User "midas" does not have write access to /etc
[05:22] <midas>  System wide configuration files:
[05:22] <midas>   /etc/opera6rc
[05:22] <midas>   /etc/opera6rc.fixed
[05:22] <midas>  were not installed.
[05:22] <Arafangion> tmn: Are you willing to consider using urxvt instead? It's a decent terminal emulator, though I don't believe it has transparency.
[05:22] <lamego> midas, sudo ./install.sh
[05:23] <montoya> hi
[05:23] <montoya> i have a problem
[05:23] <Arafangion> tmn: In any case, to change your encoding, you have to change your locales, and then start aterm using that locale.
[05:23] <montoya> with perl fo my new kubuntu
[05:23] <montoya> perl: warning: Setting locale failed.
[05:23] <montoya> perl: warning: Please check that your locale settings:

[05:23] <midas> thx lamego now it worked :) i've tested it with sudo,but it didn't work first time
[05:23] <Arafangion> tmn: I'm heading off to bed. G'night.
[05:23] <midas> thx a lot
[05:24] <lamego> midas, you made some error the first time :) np
[05:24] <midas> :)
[05:24] <montoya> i'm italian...
[05:24] <montoya> my english is very void!!!
[05:24] <Thib_G> Nobody knows how to compile a module for a different ( LiveCD ) system ?
[05:25] <lamego> montoya, try System -> Administration -> Language Support
[05:25] <lamego> and make sure the italian language support is installed
[05:25] <_nano_> is there a way to bypass the keyring password prompt in the network manager applet?
[05:26] <beefsprocket> can somone take a look at this postgresql pastebin error I'm getting? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/16371
[05:26] <cappicard> WTF... I can't right click on any inline image and save them in evolution
[05:26] <beefsprocket> can't get psotgresql-8.1 to generate it's necessary files on install
[05:26] <montoya> but for kde programs, i don't have a problem
[05:26] <HiP_P> montoya: /join #ubuntu-it
[05:27] <montoya> i have a problem with gkt programs
[05:27] <montoya> ok tks
[05:27] <Frogzoo> also, any suggestions how to get my pcmcia disk to automount?
[05:27] <Frogzoo> well, compact flash actually
[05:28] <lamego> beefsprocket, I did a "sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.1" right now, it worked flawless on my system
[05:28] <beefsprocket> that's odd then
[05:29] <beefsprocket> you see the error I got lamego ?
[05:29] <Cntryboy> Anyone know why linux can't support 2 pppd connections at the same time? For example being online with my external dial up modem and having a caller id program to screen calls at the same time?
[05:29] <beefsprocket> if I su postgres I get another error
[05:29] <lamego> yes, permission denied, which is strange, assumming you are running apt-get install with root
[05:29] <beefsprocket> indeed I am
[05:29] <lamego> beefsprocket, because it worked fine for me I believe you had some previous postgres configuration
[05:30] <lamego> let me try remove/install on my system
[05:30] <beefsprocket> once in the past
[05:30] <lamego> ok, so thats the problem
[05:30] <beefsprocket> but I used --purge, removed the user/group, took every trace of postgres off my system
[05:30] <lamego> the old versions had some files with some privileges that are not beeing overrided by the installer
[05:31] <lamego> maybe the --purge is not really taking care of everything on this case
[05:31] <Cntryboy> anyone?
[05:31] <beefsprocket> lamego: here it is -- if I can fix this problem it might work -- bash: groups: command not found
[05:31] <lamego> ouch, no groups command ?
[05:31] <beefsprocket> that's when I su to postgres user
[05:31] <Frogzoo> Cntryboy: you need to set 'unit' in /etc/ppp/peers/provider
[05:31] <beefsprocket> do I need to edit the path for that user in /etc/passwd /etc/group etc.?
[05:32] <Frogzoo> Cntryboy: man pppd
[05:32] <garar> hi
[05:32] <Cntryboy> Frogzoo care if I msg you
[05:32] <Frogzoo> Cntryboy: sry, don't do pms
[05:32] <lamego> well, you shouldn't need to su postgres
[05:32] <lamego> postgres is just for the program use
[05:32] <Cntryboy> Well what do you mean as far as doing what you suggested? Or do you have a page I can go read?
[05:32] <lamego> probably it is not getting the profile set, no path to /usr/bin, thats is not problem you are not expected to use the postgres user
[05:33] <Cntryboy> I've done minicom and my modem does accept caller id, but it locks out my connection to the internet and vice versa
[05:33] <beefsprocket> lamego: postgres:x:113:113:PostgreSQL administrator,,,:/var/lib/postgresql:/bin/bash
[05:33] <beefsprocket> that's the line in /etc passwd
[05:33] <garar> how can i check bootsector?
[05:33] <garar> dosfsck?
[05:33] <ThatsMe> HI all. Gnome doesn't see my sound card ... help appreciated  :-)
[05:33] <ikki> !edgy
[05:33] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft"
[05:34] <Frogzoo> Cntryboy: like I say 'man pppd'  - pppd dialout uses ppp0 by default, so maybe if you set 'unit 1' in /etc/ppp/peers/###, it should work
[05:34] <lamego> beefsprocket, the --purge does not delete the postgres user/group
[05:35] <lamego> beefsprocket, do a remove --purge now, then look fod any postgres owned files
[05:35] <lamego> for
[05:35] <beefsprocket> lamego: I tried that already
[05:35] <Cntryboy> so by setting it unit 1 would that make my dialout use ppp1?
[05:36] <Cntryboy> kinda confusing for me
[05:36] <Cntryboy> Frogzoo do you know of a step by step page I can read to do this..
[05:36] <Frogzoo> Cntryboy: 1st - have you found the file your dialout uses - /etc/ppp/peers/XXXX ?
[05:36] <Frogzoo> Cntryboy: it's most likely called /etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider ...
[05:37] <vanberge> if anybody uses irssi - i just made a pretty cool icon for it if you wanted to use it for a launcher
[05:37] <Cntryboy> i'm on dialup not dsl
[05:37] <girish> hi i am not able to run php with apache....
[05:37] <girish> can ny1 help
[05:37] <girish> ?
[05:37] <Kyral> girish: whats the problem
[05:37] <ThatsMe> Hello, anybody care to help me with a Gnome sound problem? Please? :-)
[05:37] <Frogzoo> vanberge: maybe gnome.org would want it... ?
[05:37] <girish> Kyral
[05:38] <Kyral> I mean there are a bunch of reasons why it make not work :P
[05:38] <fishsticks> That's me, just ask away
[05:38] <fishsticks> thatsme
[05:38] <fishsticks> lol
[05:38] <hughes> tcho
[05:38] <lamego> gimmulf, have you installed them using apt ?
[05:38] <fishsticks> just ask =P
[05:38] <lamego> I mean, girish
[05:38] <beefsprocket> lamego: might having /etc/passwd and /etc/passwd- files as well as group and group- files have something to do with this?
[05:38] <lamego> beefsprocket, no
[05:38] <TankEnMate> anyone know how to control from the xorg.conf file which interrupts the inactivity code checks?
[05:38] <beefsprocket> ok
[05:38] <ThatsMe> HI there Fishsticks. My sound blaster is working in some apps. But not in Gnome i.e. for event sounds.
[05:39] <TankEnMate> i'd prefer not to have to trawl through the source
[05:39] <fishsticks> hmm...
[05:39] <Cntryboy> Frogzoo: will that still work even though I'm using dial up and not dsl?
[05:39] <lamego> beefsprocket, your problem is a "simple" user/group and permissions issue, but well it does require some analisys :P
[05:39] <fishsticks> thatsme, that's a good one
[05:39] <blenda> hi! are there any significant improvements in the memtest function of the ubuntu cd since breezy?
[05:39] <ThatsMe> Fishsticks: if I go to Sound Prefs the default sound card is empty and without any options to select.
[05:39] <beefsprocket> lamego: I'm running find across the whole drive atm
[05:39] <Frogzoo> Cntryboy: yes - the device is used by pppd regardless
[05:39] <Kyral> blenda: memtest kinda hasn't changed
[05:40] <blenda> Kyral: ok, thanks
[05:40] <lamego> TankEnMate, inactivity code checks?
[05:40] <Frogzoo> Cntryboy: however, you need to find the right file in /etc/ppp/peers/
[05:40] <ThatsMe> Fishsticks: after install (Edubuntu 6.06) the sound balster was not detected at all. I had to add sb to modules.conf
[05:41] <lamego> blenda, I believe the memtest program is kind of an old utility, which type of improvement do you expect on it ?
[05:41] <infinity_> does anyone know how i can enable SMP support?
[05:41] <TankEnMate> lamego: yes, the Xorg server checks wether the user is inactive by checking the keyboard / mice (i8042 driver) to see if the user is idle, if it is, then it turns off the screen etc etc
[05:41] <cfh_dev> How do I determine what device is my sound?
[05:41] <lamego> infinity_, you need to install the kerl with smp support
[05:41] <girish_> hiii Kyral i am sorry i got disconnected....well the problem is that wen i click the php file in the browser it opens up the the download dialogue window . I added 'LoadModule libphp.so' to httpd.conf but it says cannot find the file libphp.so kyral can u elp plz?
[05:41] <Frogzoo> blenda: later is always better ;) - memtest is always upgrading to account for newer bioses
[05:41] <TankEnMate> lamego: it does it by checking the number of interrupts from the /proc/interrupts file
[05:42] <Kyral> its not libphp is it?
[05:42] <fishsticks> thatsme, i really am stumped
[05:42] <vanberge> does anybody know a command switch that will launch gnome-terminal full screen?
[05:42] <infinity_> lamego: ok, im using this guide : http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=85064     but when i change the driver to nv or vesa in the xorg.conf instead of nvidia it always makes xserver fail to start
[05:42] <ThatsMe> Fishsticks: is the soundcard suppoesed to be defined in Xorg.conf?
[05:42] <girish_> then wat is it
[05:42] <Cntryboy> to find out the right file
[05:42] <girish_> ??
[05:42] <fishsticks> thatsme, no
[05:42] <Kyral> girish_: look in /usr/lib/modules/apache2
[05:42] <Kyral> I THINK
[05:42] <lamego> infinity_, thats not about SMP !
[05:42] <fishsticks> thatsme: sound is handled in alsa
[05:42] <Cntryboy> would I go to /etc/ppp/peers?
[05:42] <TankEnMate> lamego: i have a number of keyboards and mice connected to one machine, so i need to add to the list of interrupts for the Xorg server to check..
[05:42] <Kyral> gah...I'd have to login to my server machine
[05:42] <sws1> gnome-terminal --full-screen
[05:42] <Frogzoo> fishsticks: man gnome-terminal I'm guessing, or maybe gnome-terminal --help
[05:42] <Kyral> wait
[05:42] <vanberge> infinity_: what is your screen resolution?  maybe those drivers dont support your res?
[05:42] <kidwithjedipower> I've installed w32codecs so I can play my videos from when I was on windows etc., but when I play the video in vlc, I only get sound, but when I play it in Movie Player I only get video.. any thoughts?
[05:42] <Kyral> girish: look in /etc/apache2
[05:42] <girish_> kyral?wat shud i look for?
[05:42] <ThatsMe> fishsticks: well, thats one blind alley I won't run down then. Thanks.
[05:43] <blenda> lamego: i wasn't expecting any specifical improvements actually, just wanted to know if there were any improvements at all
[05:43] <blind> I wouldn't run down an alley, either.
[05:43] <TankEnMate> lamego: i was hoping there is an undcoumented xorg.conf file entry i could tweak..
[05:43] <Cntryboy> Frogzoo: I sure wish I could talk to you in pm, this crap in here confuses me with my slow connection and scroll lag
[05:43] <Kyral> girish: there should be a directory called "mods-available" and "mods-enabled"
[05:43] <rilick> Ghetto_smurf [[] ]
[05:43] <girish_> ok
[05:43] <rilick> xD
[05:43] <lamego> TankEnMate, ops, ok , don't know much about it, but I don't believe that is setup at the Xorg level, Xorg points to system devices which need to be setup at the kernel level (I think)
[05:43] <blenda> Frogzoo: ok, i guess it doesn't matter then since this bios is about 8 years old :)
[05:43] <girish_> so wat shud i do aft that
[05:43] <vanberge> sws1: that doesnt work for me
[05:43] <Kyral> girish_: look in mods-available
[05:43] <infinity_> vanberge: 1280x1024 this was the defualt that i had right afte r i instaalle dunbuntu
[05:44] <girish_> ok
[05:44] <Kyral> girish_: is there anything that says PHP?
[05:44] <girish_> kyral
[05:44] <lamego> you can configur Xorg to use /dev/my_mouse_at_irq_n
[05:44] <infinity_> lamego: do u kno of a guide about smp?
[05:44] <vanberge> sws1: nvm, works fine.  :-)
[05:44] <Ghetto_smurf> Rilick
[05:44] <strav> he all... can anyone tell me why I have hard times finding uncommon ubuntu repositories? where are these goddamn repositories listed? (I'm actually on the ubuntu community site, searching for a repository for unstable releases)
[05:44] <sws1> hmm vanberge, me neither
[05:44] <Ghetto_smurf> fu
[05:44] <girish_> lemme c kyral
[05:44] <fishsticks> hey thatsme
[05:44] <lamego> infinity_, erm, installing support for smp is just: sudo apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.27-2-686-smp
[05:44] <fishsticks> thatsme: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=1090214&postcount=10
[05:44] <vanberge> strav: are you talking about universe / multiverse?
[05:44] <lamego> assuming you have intel smp
[05:44] <TankEnMate> lamego: well from my look at the documentation (which could be out of date since it is a couple of years old pre freedesktop.org era) it checks the /proc/interrupts file which every linux kernel exports..
[05:44] <infinity_> lamego: thats all i have to do?
[05:45] <lamego> strav, there is no such thing and "unstable" repository
[05:45] <ThatsMe> fishsticks: ah, what's that then? :-)  I'll take a look. Thanks!
[05:45] <lamego> as
[05:45] <sws1> vanberge: have you tried the --geometry= switch?
[05:45] <TankEnMate> lamego: i guess i'll have to go trawling through the source :(
[05:45] <rilick> voces sois todos uns palhaos
[05:45] <rilick> \m/
[05:45] <fishsticks> thatsme: just an idea, you said you had a soundblaster
[05:45] <Healot> !pt
[05:45] <ubotu> Por favor use #ubuntu-br  ou #ubuntu-pt  para ajuda em portugus. Obrigada.
[05:45] <girish_> Kyral i dont have such folders there............
[05:45] <strav> should be universe (I'm looking for the new inkscape that just came out)
[05:45] <TankEnMate> healot: heh :)
[05:45] <lamego> infinity_, yes, that will install an SMP capable kernel, you will need to reboot after it
[05:45] <Kyral> girish_: are you running Ubuntu?
[05:46] <girish_> yeah i am
[05:46] <infinity_> lamego: wow lol that easy thanks :P
[05:46] <sws1> I did a gnome-terminal --geometry=1024x768 and it opened full screen (or close to it) on my laptop.
[05:46] <Kyral> girish_: apache2 or apache1?
[05:46] <strav> lamego: quote from the inkscape site: Debian Dependencies  everything is available in the unstable apt repositories.
[05:46] <Kyral> Why the heck is Apache1 even IN the repos still
[05:46] <girish_> well idonno sorry...
[05:46] <Cntryboy> Frogzoo: can you help me find a step by step site I can read please??? I really need to get this working I can't get any calls while on linux..
[05:46] <Cntryboy> I need to know whos calling lol
[05:47] <Kyral> girish_: if in /etc there is a directory called "apache" then you have Apache 1, if there is one called apache2, then you have apache2
[05:47] <girish_> Kyral it is apache 1.3.33
[05:47] <ThatsMe> fishsticks: Interesting, lspci does not report an audio device on my system
[05:47] <Kyral> then the folder will be apache
[05:47] <lamego> strav, ubuntu is not debian !
[05:47] <girish_> ok
[05:47] <Kyral> Just based on it
[05:47] <kidwithjedipower> does anyone know how to get .avi movies to play in linux?
[05:48] <fishsticks> thatsme: yipes, thats what i feared would happen... try asking again, i really don't know the solution
[05:48] <Frogzoo> Cntryboy: there is no step by step - it's one setting in one file
[05:48] <Healot> !mp3

[05:48] <kidwithjedipower> thanks ubotu, I'll check that out... but I might be back
[05:48] <girish_> Kyral but i dont have modules named folders in that folder named apache
[05:48] <Cntryboy> okay what is the first step I should do
[05:48] <lamego> kidwithjedipower, or try easy ubuntu
[05:48] <Cntryboy> and with what command
[05:48] <strav> lamego: well the next time you install a .deb, do me a favor... say ubuntu is not  debian and uninstall it.
[05:48] <Kyral> girish_: rip out Apache1 and install Apache2 :P
[05:48] <kidwithjedipower> easy ubuntu?
[05:48] <girish_> i juz have ok
[05:49] <girish_> ok
[05:49] <fishsticks> http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/
[05:49] <lamego> strav, well, the next try you try to install a "Debian" .deb and it complains about dependency problems, do me a favor, go away
[05:49] <lamego> time
[05:49] <kidwithjedipower> thanks..
[05:49] <Cntryboy> Frogzoo: cd@cd-desktop:/etc/ppp/peers$ dir
[05:49] <Cntryboy> ppp0  provider  wvdial  wvdial-pipe
[05:50] <strav> lamego: dependency problems aren't a big deal...
[05:50] <lamego> or better, point your repositories to a debian, and you will notice the difference
[05:50] <Kyral> strav: if you HAVE to, use "sudo apt-get source" for the Debian package and rebuild it
[05:50] <VxJasonxV> I was wondering if anyone could help me wrangle a dual monitor (single video card) problem in submission
[05:50] <VxJasonxV> I think the X settings and KDE settings are fighting each other, and making things difficult
[05:50] <lamego> the point is, for ubuntu there is no such thing as unstable repositories, the development version is edgy, you can use edgy if you want something "unstable"
[05:50] <VxJasonxV> I'm using an ATI x350, and right now the screens are in 'clone' mode.
[05:51] <sws1> anyone have luck (good luck) getting Windows Media Player working in 6.06?
[05:51] <TankEnMate> Vx: you need to set one screen "above", "below", "left" or "right" of the first..
[05:51] <lamego> windows media player on ubuntu ?
[05:51] <Frogzoo> Cntryboy: I'm guessing provider - open it up - add a new line 'unit 1'  & 'sudo ifdown provider'   'sudo ifup provider'
[05:51] <strav> lamego: .... new inkscape should be there. but I still wonder where can I find the list of the available repositories (servers and such)?
[05:51] <Kyral> ain't gonna happen :P
[05:51] <sws1> yeah lamego, wmp through wine
[05:52] <Kyral> WMP sucks c'mon
[05:52] <Kyral> why?
[05:52] <sws1> MLB "Gameday Audio" requires it, or at least thinks it does
[05:52] <lamego> strav, the plain list of the repositories is on /etc/apt/sources.list, some of them are disabled you will need to uncomment them
[05:52] <Kyral> At least use something like Media Player Classic
[05:52] <sws1> if I could figure out a way to fake it out, I'd use anything else
[05:52] <TankEnMate> Vx: in the "ServerLayout" section you need an entry something like this..
[05:52] <VxJasonxV> TankEnMate, doesn't the aticonfig binary do that for me?
[05:52] <VxJasonxV> with the --dtop parm?
[05:52] <TankEnMate> Vx:         Screen          "Screen Two" below "Screen One"
[05:52] <lamego> strav, or via Menu, System -> Administration -> Software Properties
[05:53] <TankEnMate> Vx: i have never used the aticonfig stuff. i write my config files by hand..
[05:53] <Cntryboy> Frogzoo: nothing is listed unit anything in the provider
[05:53] <strav> let me see... I edited that file quite a few times... by now my list is a mess I'm afraid.
[05:53] <garoth> Hi!
[05:53] <TankEnMate> Vx: if you are wanting to use both screens as one big virtual screen you'll need to turn on Xinerama as well
[05:53] <Frogzoo> Cntryboy: I'm guessing provider - open it up - add a new line 'unit 1'  & 'sudo ifdown provider'   'sudo ifup provider'
[05:53] <strav> (well at least I'm not shure if the complete list is there.)
[05:54] <strav> There should be anyways a web ressource for that I cannot believe it
[05:54] <VxJasonxV> arok
[05:54] <TankEnMate> Vx: see if there is a setting to turn on Xinerama, that is probably what you are looking for...
[05:54] <TankEnMate> Vx: also I have never used KDE..
[05:54] <Cntryboy> so add this whole line ---   'unit 1'  & 'sudo ifdown provider'   'sudo ifup provider'
[05:54] <kristian> How can i get mp3 files to work with ubuntu?
[05:54] <Kyral> !mp3
[05:54] <ubotu> For lots of multimedia issues this page has the useful information you want: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  see also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - Please use free formats: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[05:55] <sws1> heh
[05:55] <TankEnMate> ubotu is getting a bit of a work out!
[05:55] <Cntryboy> Frogzoo: do you talk on aim or yahoo?
[05:55] <Frogzoo> Cntryboy: nope
[05:56] <Cntryboy> well is there anywhere we can get just us talking? I'm confused seriously bad with 1 line every 10 min  lol
[05:57] <strav> Then again, via the synaptic interface or via /etc/apt/sources-list ... if I wanna add a new rep, where the hell do I get it's server address and such.
[05:57] <martibs> the new user-list in XChat-Gnome is stupid :(
[05:57] <martibs> can I change it to a traditional one, somehow?
[05:57] <strav> (say the server isn't in the list)
[05:57] <Frogzoo> Cntryboy: 1 line every 10min? turn off your bit torrent or whatever - irc takes no bandwidth
[05:57] <vanberge> hmm... would anyone be able to tell me why "gnome-terminal --full-screen" would not work from a launcher icon??  :-(
[05:58] <Cntryboy> Frogzoo: 2.1KB lol
[05:58] <Cntryboy> Frogzoo: anyways should I put 'unit 1'  & 'sudo ifdown provider'   'sudo ifup provider' just like that even with the '   ' ect.
[05:59] <lamego> vanberge, it works for me, tested it right now
[05:59] <Frogzoo> Cntryboy: the ifdown/ifup is to take the i/f down & up again - you just need to add the 'unit 1' to the file
[05:59] <CokeNCode> hey, i had a program i used to stream winamp radio stations ... but, i can't remember the name of it now ... the art ws kinda like anime
[06:00] <CokeNCode> anyone know the program i mean ?
[06:00] <vanberge> lamego: i am tring "gnome-terminal -e irssi --hide-menubar --full-screen"
[06:00] <vanberge> lamego: it kicks back to normal term size
[06:00] <Cntryboy> Frogzoo: god I hate when I'm stupid :(
[06:00] <lamego> vanberge, i hope you didn't selected the "run in a terminal" option :P
[06:01] <sws1> vanberge, did you try the --geometry=  switch for gnome-terminal?
[06:01] <lamego> vanberge, I have just tried gnome-terminal, nothing running on it
[06:01] <xtacocorex> is there a program that generates metacity themes or is it all done by hand?
[06:01] <vanberge> sws1: no i have not tried that
[06:01] <Cntryboy> Frogzoo: now ppp0 actually has my username and password to dial into my provider. Would I still use provider or ppp0?
[06:02] <vanberge> sws1: lamego i think i have it...  if i do -e irssi before the other two switches, it seems to work
[06:02] <Frogzoo> Cntryboy: can you pastebin /etc/network/interfaces ?
[06:02] <lamego> valehru, again, it worked fine for me, irssi got fullscreen
[06:02] <lamego> oops i mean vanberge
[06:03] <Cntryboy> Frogzoo: sure, but its not going to give away anything dealing with my account with my provider and stuff where ppl can use my info right?
[06:04] <kidwithjedipower> lamego, thank you very much. easyubuntu did the trick. I'm gonna go now, thank you again, very much
[06:04] <midas> got to go thx 4 help :)
[06:05] <Cntryboy> Frogzoo: ?
[06:05] <lsuactiafner> is there a tool to allow windows to read linux partitions?
[06:05] <Frogzoo> Cntryboy: there's not pw info in /etc/network/interfaces - just pastebin that one
[06:05] <Cntryboy> ok
[06:05] <movi> i have a problem with network-manager
[06:05] <movi> using dapper, ndiswrapper
[06:06] <vanberge> it seems like a bug... executing "gnome-termianl --full-screen" works like 1 out of five times
[06:06] <movi> nm-manager says it cant associate the card
[06:06] <fishsticks> !songbird
[06:06] <vanberge> both from launcher and from command line
[06:06] <ubotu> I know nothing about songbird
[06:06] <movi> eg it fails to set the appropiate target MAC
[06:06] <GameOver69> can anyone help me with getting videos from yahoo working in firefox with the mplayer plugin... they seem to load/buffer then it just says stopped
[06:06] <girish> hi i edited httpd.conf  to add LoadModule php5_module /usr/libapache2/modules/libphp5.so but it says some syntax error
[06:06] <girish> can ny1 help
[06:07] <Detox> question regarding mail server ,,,, use postfix as it is in ubuntu ,,, or use something else
[06:07] <Detox> ?
[06:07] <Cntryboy> Frogzoo: it's getting there :( slow connection
[06:08] <sws1> *shrug* detox, I like postfix but I've not using it in ubuntu.
[06:08] <Detox> ok thanks
[06:08] <girish>  hi i edited httpd.conf  to add LoadModule php5_module /usr/libapache2/modules/libphp5.so but it says some syntax error can ny1 help?
[06:09] <sws1> of course it depends on how much mail is going to go through the server
[06:09] <blackline> Whats the packagename for X?
[06:09] <sws1> and other things
[06:09] <sws1> oh
[06:09] <sws1> he left
[06:09] <lamego> girish, I have installed apache2+php5 with "sudo apt-get install apache2 php5" and nothing else, there is no need for manual configuration
[06:09] <Healot> xserver-xorg
[06:09] <vanberge> sws1: is that switch you were talking about a better way to control size?  the --full-screen seems buggy
[06:09] <girish> ok
[06:09] <blackline> Healot thank you
[06:10] <Cntryboy> Frogzoo: for some reason pastebin is taking its sweet time a;ldskjfasl;dkjf
[06:10] <lamego> vanberge, irssis worked fullscreen for me, with your command
[06:10] <lamego> inside a desktop launcher
[06:10] <sws1> --geometry seems to allow you to control the size, yes.  --full-screen doesn't work for me either, or at least it doesn't open in anything near full-screen
[06:10] <HiP_P> ompaul: you still here?
[06:10] <sws1> it works, just not as full-screen
[06:10] <fiveiron> ugh... how do you pass a directory of images to glslideshow?
[06:10] <s|k> someone needs to write a helpful book about grep
[06:10] <vanberge> lamego: i have a luancher set up that just does "gnome-terminal --full-screen"
[06:10] <ompaul> HiP_P, undergoing strain with xgl myself :-)
[06:10] <vanberge> and it only opens full screen 1 out of 5 times
[06:10] <vanberge> if i keep clicking it
[06:11] <carlfk> how come 'apt-get remove nvidia-glx" says "not installed" but I see "module license NVIDIA taints kernel" ?
[06:11] <girish> Thank U Lamego
[06:11] <HiP_P> haha
[06:11] <ompaul> HiP_P, I have a dev box here and I think I have pushed it too far
[06:11] <lamego> well, i just tested it 2 or 3 times :)
[06:11] <HiP_P> well done what you said
[06:11] <vanberge> lamego: well what would cause that for me??  i have no idea!  :-(
[06:11] <lamego> s|k, there are plenty of books about grep
[06:11] <HiP_P> but the res is to hi
[06:11] <HiP_P> *high
[06:11] <lamego> vanberge, don't know :|
[06:12] <CokeNCode> come on guys, software for streaming winamp radio stations
[06:12] <CokeNCode> help me out
[06:12] <CokeNCode> i'm begging here
[06:12] <valehru> lamego, glad to know I can help by just being here ;)
[06:12] <sws1> does xmms do that, coke?
[06:12] <Frogzoo> CokeNCode: I think amarok can do it too
[06:12] <sws1> yeah
[06:12] <CokeNCode> Frogzoo, THANK YOU !!! THAT'S THE SOFTWARE I HAD ... THANKS MAN!!!
[06:12] <dipnlik> CokeNCode: amarok, listen, maybe xmms too
[06:12] <carlfk> CokeNCode: URL you are trying to listen to would be good
[06:13] <CokeNCode> yeh, it's amarok i'm looking for. thanks for the help guys.
[06:13] <vanberge> lamego: do i have to do somethign special to add command switches to a launcher?  i just typed them after "gnome-terminal"
[06:13] <sws1> wtg frogzoo
[06:13] <s|k> lamego: I'll have to get one then :/
[06:13] <lamego> well I have just copy paste it from xchat to the command inputbox and it worked
[06:13] <lamego> you could try using " "
[06:13] <fiveiron> how do you pass a directory of images to glslideshow?
[06:14] <Cntryboy_> godddddddd
