[02:13] <cefx> omegabeta: get a nickserv script
[02:13] <Mastastealth> hey guys, my touchpad (Alps , on an Inspiron 9300) has been extremely slow recently. it takes forever to go across the screen. changing mouse speed isn't working, has anyone had these issues?
[02:13] <omegabeta> cefx: you sure Irssi does not have it?
[02:13] <cefx> http://www.irssi.org/scripts/
[02:13] <techie_> Yellow, did i mess up in putting that command you told me?
[02:13] <cefx> nope, but i'd just use a script
[02:13] <cefx> heh
[02:13] <userund> Mastastealth: maybe you could manually set the DPI to be higher
[02:13] <omegabeta> cefx : no worries, thanks :)
[02:13] <LiENUS> i dont see ooo draw...
[02:13] <LiENUS> where is it?
[02:13] <inpho> everytime i fdisk my drive and it go to write it, it always says  "WARNING: Re-reading the partition table failed with error 22: Invalid argument.The kernel still uses the old table."
[02:13] <techie_> Cafuego, any other suggestions.
[02:14] <yell0w> techie_, are you running dapper ?
[02:14] <trif> LiENUS: kivio
[02:14] <techie_> Yellow, no Edgy
[02:14] <LiENUS> trif isnt that kde?
[02:14] <LiENUS> based...
[02:14] <jdrake> I have noticed in synaptic that there is a linux-image-2.6.17-50, I have -11 installed. Is the -50 just a newer version?
[02:14] <trif> LiENUS: yeah. but it's all I see in synaptic
[02:14] <Kronuz> I'm back
[02:14] <cafuego_> techie_: You need to install libc6-dev
[02:14] <Kronuz> :)
[02:14] <Azrael1> but actually, I'm trying to get a scanner to work, not a printer
[02:14] <Mastastealth> also, does anyone know how to get firefox use the backspace key as the "back" button? for some reason it just go to the top of the page instead...
[02:14] <techie_> cafuego, how do i do that?
[02:14] <yell0w> techie_, listen to cafuego_
[02:15] <techie_> yellow, I am listening to him
[02:15] <cafuego_> yell0w: No, libc6-dev provides libc-dev. just installed it here, worked fine.
[02:15] <userund> jdrake: -50?  wow never heard of it... but yes, it would just be a newer version.
[02:15] <ktron> Wee, fresh install of ubuntu :)
[02:15] <techie_> cafuego how do i install that library?
[02:15] <jdrake> userund: merci
[02:15] <userund> jdrake: de rien
[02:15] <cafuego_> techie_: And you also need to install libxalan110 and libxerces27
[02:15] <Azrael1> So, anyone knows how to install a scanner? an epson?
[02:16] <Azrael1> wasabi> are you by any chance from Uruguay?
[02:16] <Furkle> for some reason gaim doesnt go back up to the top bar when i close it can someone tell me how to fix it?
[02:16] <jdrake> userund: It appears that linux-386 depends on -11. I wonder if it is something in the backports or similar.
[02:16] <inpho> Can anyone spare a second an PM me, asking the question in the chat isnt doing anything
[02:16] <yell0w> cafuego_, got a couples of question about libxerces27, can i pm you ?
[02:16] <Kronuz> Firefox... whoohoo!
[02:16] <trif> LiENUS: oodraw is the executable
[02:16] <ktron> Mortium: that's a little too morbid an outlook for me... more like nothing like a clean whiteboard before I dingy it up
[02:16] <jdrake> ah, 'edgy-proposed'
[02:16] <userund> jdrake: perhaps.  the latest kernel I've seen is -11 for 2.6.17, -50 sounds like a typo maybe.
[02:16] <LiENUS> err now how do i do flow charts in it heh
[02:16] <cafuego_> yell0w: if you need to, but I know *nothing* about it, just so you know :-)
[02:17] <ktron> And this is replacing Windows XP and going to try to be a substitute for Vista, so
[02:17] <techie_> cafuego i used the command you provided and the same problem
[02:17] <techie_> cafuego. was that a single command?
[02:18] <cafuego_> techie_: yup
[02:18] <Kronuz> okay, I'm shrinking my NTFS :S
[02:18] <trif> LiENUS: maybe inkscape is a better bet
[02:18] <Azrael1> anyone knows about scanners?
[02:18] <techie_> cafuego without the "'" right?
[02:18] <Azrael1> or how to install backends for XSane?
[02:18] <trif> LiENUS: it's not that hard to use, and there's a fair amount of online tutorials
[02:18] <userund> !scanner

[02:18] <cafuego_> techie_: yup :-)
[02:18] <rbil> Kronuz: shrink it big. After Ubuntu, you'll hardly ever use XP :-)
[02:19] <Furkle> When i close gaim it doesnt go to the system tray anymore the plugin is still installed but it just closes gaim when i hit the x
[02:19] <techie_> cafuego, i pasted this into terminal: sudo apt-get install libc6-dev libxalan110 libxerces27
[02:19] <sgrove> I want to add korean to my supported languages, under system->administration->Language Support
[02:19] <sgrove> how shold I so this?
[02:19] <ktron> depends if and what games you want to play :)
[02:19] <sgrove> I currently only have english, japanese, and chinese
[02:19] <techie_> cafuego  but it did not work
[02:19] <sgrove> I'm sure it's probably pretty easy...
[02:20] <ktron> I love that I can use ubuntu while it installs to the hard drive
[02:20] <Fuzzehskittle1> why wont my ps/2 keyboard type? the numlock is on but it wont type
[02:20] <ktron> that's just so attractive compared to the downtime windows forces
[02:20] <techie_> cafuego, sorry it is still being installed!
[02:20] <userund> ktron: true but remember that the changes you make to the system on the livecd will not be preserved when you reboot
[02:20] <inpho> Can anyone spare a second an PM me, asking the question in the chat isnt doing anything
[02:20] <Kronuz> how can I get dmraid?
[02:20] <ktron> userund: yeah, I know, I'm keeping a list so I can redo them as necessary
[02:21] <ktron> userund: only had to do a few to get X running, everything else doesn't matter as long as it comes up like the livecd did
[02:21] <techie_> cafuego. still installing....
[02:21] <sgrove> bit of help, I need to know how to add additional languages to my ubuntu install

[02:22] <techie_> cafuego.... ok is all done. should I try to reinstall the deb package again?
[02:22] <ktron> inpho: I have no idea what that means
[02:22] <Kronuz> where's the package manager?
[02:22] <ktron> inpho: don't know much about fdisk
[02:22] <Kronuz> as to add dmraid

[02:23] <sgrove> why does ubuntu make everything so difficult?
[02:23] <yurimxpxman> Have any of you successfully logged into Ubuntu via XDMCP from a remote location (not the same LAN)?
[02:24] <iKitchu> how about changing video card? Am I stuck re-installing or what????
[02:24] <Flannel> sgrove: it doesn't.  It just isn't the same as you're used to
[02:24] <ktron> iKitchu: shouldn't need to reinstall
[02:24] <sgrove> Flannel, nah, ubuntu is pretty much no problem
[02:24] <Flannel> yurimxpxman: XDMCP uses UDP, which usually doesn't survive a router.  You'll need to tunnel through SSH
[02:24] <hcassidy> Wireless problems are resolved in Feisty Aplha 5 version?
[02:24] <sgrove> just difficult to get any attention without some semi-flaming

[02:25] <sgrove> I know no one's obligated, but still makes it difficult to get by
[02:25] <Kronuz> dammmit, I can't even find how to install that dmraid package :(
[02:25] <ktron> iKitchu: you mean, x crashes?
[02:25] <iKitchu> ktron yeah
[02:25] <ktron> what are you changing from/to?

[02:27] <ToddEDM> i shoulda known better than to ask elsewhere
[02:27] <iKitchu> ktron, nahhh trident is an old company that everyone forgot about... now I have zero support with it and I thought i could have better luck with ATI IIC

[02:28] <sgrove> bit of help, I need to know how to add additional languages to my ubuntu install - how can I change my session language to korean if korean language support is not currently installed?

[02:28] <ktron> google 'unofficial linux ati driver wiki' and snag the first result roughly

[02:29] <iKitchu> ktron yeah good idea... thnx

[02:30] <plyskin> voidmage: XGL
[02:30] <techie> Cafuego, could the program be doing through some sort of "eternal Loop!"?
[02:30] <voidmage> plyskin: then i don't know
[02:30] <TheVault> I'm sorry to interupt but god I am loving ubuntu! I installed it the other day and its playing very nice for my needs :)
[02:30] <Flannel> iNick: you want sudo to ask for the root's password?
[02:31] <plyskin> is there more advantage in running AIGLX?
[02:31] <TheVault> I bow down before the creators of Linux!!!!!!!!!!
[02:31] <userund> plyskin: it's native to xorg.
[02:31] <cafuego_> plyskin: Not really.
[02:31] <cafuego_> plyskin: not until either beryl or compiz stop being buggy
[02:31] <techie> cafuego. it says Installing "VirtualBox_1.3.6_Ubuntu_edgy_i386
[02:31] <plyskin> would AIGLX run better for my ATI 9800 pro?
[02:31] <gili> has anyone had experience with the i915 S-video Xorg modifications that are online...?

[02:39] <irunwithscissors> oh ok
[02:39] <TheVault> userund: E: Couldn't find package gmplayer
[02:39] <Flannel> iNick: So, even though you have [joe user]  with sudo access, all he can do is [whatever you let him]  with that sudo
[02:39] <EkToBoT> i ran sudo for Build essentials ans thats all cool
[02:39] <lonelystar> gili, hei,Can you hear me?
[02:39] <voidmage> !info gmplayer
[02:39] <K3nto> rocca: so is your modem and wireless built into one?
[02:39] <techie> cafuego_ how much longer is normal installation? It has taken so far about 10 minutes or so.....
[02:39] <ubotu> Package gmplayer does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[02:39] <dick_> hello all
[02:39] <makuseru> how can i convert a .avi to .mpeg?
[02:39] <EkToBoT> but how do i run the c++ compiler?
[02:40] <iNick> Flannel: i see sudo as a bad hack.  if you want people to do root-level access tasks, give them the root password
[02:40] <rocca> K3nto: yes
[02:40] <dick_> I want to download torrents, anyone suggest a program they like for doing so?
[02:40] <iNick> it avoids temptation (in my mind)
[02:40] <TheVault> Lemme guess, I gotta install Mplayer manually from the website?
[02:40] <gili> lonelystar:what do you mean can i hear you/?
[02:40] <K3nto> !c++ | EkTpBoT
[02:40] <rocca> K3nto: like in every new laptop actually
[02:40] <techie> cafuego there is a red bar going left to right back and forth, is that normal???
[02:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about c++ - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:40] <bobby> thanks wifi works will i be able to run beryl
[02:40] <merc> i still use su -, just out of habit.
[02:40] <Kronuz> hey, what's the password for root? in the liveCD
[02:40] <arrenlex> TheVault: What package did you install?
[02:40] <makuseru> there shouldnt be one Kronuz
[02:40] <Flannel> iNick: Right, but... You won't need to give them root access.  You can give them [whatever local things they need to change]  access with sudo.
[02:40] <EkToBoT> K3nto: ?
[02:40] <voidmage> Kronuz: shouldn't be a root password, but if you need root stuff use sudo
[02:41] <inpho> ANYone please?~!?!
[02:41] <dick_> Kronuz: the same password you use to log in to linux
[02:41] <K3nto> rocca: huh? your modem is built into your router?
[02:41] <TheVault> arrenlex: What package? I'm trying to install Mplayer
[02:41] <Kronuz> if I just press enter it says refused
[02:41] <Flannel> iNick: Otherwise, If they ever need to use sudo (for anything), they'll need the root password
[02:41] <arrenlex> TheVault: From where?
[02:41] <K3nto> EkToBoT: checking if ubotu knoew anything
[02:41] <rocca> K3nto: I never said I have a router
[02:41] <arrenlex> EkToBoT: g++ <file.cpp>
[02:41] <K3nto> rocca: modem i mean
[02:41] <TheVault> arrenlex: No place yet. I did sudo apt-get install gmplayer and it said could not find package
[02:41] <techie> Cafuego_ can you respond please to see if I should continue to allow program to install or abor?
[02:41] <gili> cube3: nice station
[02:41] <Kronuz> oh, okay
[02:41] <Kronuz> dmraid -r shows four devices
[02:41] <iNick> Flannel: "users" shouldn't have to change any system settings, if the system is setup right.  and if a change is requested, it has to be done via the "chain of command" if you know what I mean
[02:41] <techie> cafuego... I meant abort!
[02:42] <TheVault> arrenlex: Also went to the Add/Remove Program and it said something that this is unsupported or something and would not let me install
[02:42] <arrenlex> !mplayer-686 | TheVault
[02:42] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about mplayer-686 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:42] <gili> h3xagram: you have VLC but it wont play xvids....is that what you are saying?
[02:42] <arrenlex> !info mplayer-686 | TheVault
[02:42] <EkToBoT> arrenlex: from terminal??
[02:42] <dick_> can anyone suggest a good program for torrents?
[02:42] <K3nto> rocca: explain your internet setup completely
[02:42] <ubotu> thevault: Package mplayer-686 does not exist in edgy, edgy-backports, edgy-seveas
[02:42] <Kronuz> two of: /dev/sda: nvidia, "nvidia_ificadeg", stripe, ok, 145226110 sectors, data@ 0
[02:42] <Kronuz> and two of /dev/sdc: nvidia, "nvidia_dffefaej", stripe, ok, 488397166 sectors, data@ 0
[02:42] <arrenlex> Oh, that explains it.
[02:42] <TheVault> arrenlex: I can go into Synaptics and search for Mplayer and install it that way right?
[02:42] <Kronuz> I guess that means something is working
[02:42] <arrenlex> !info mplayer | TheVault
[02:42] <Flannel> iNick: er, why do you care about sudo passwords then?  The normal users won't be in the sudoers group, and won't have access to sudo
[02:42] <ubotu> thevault: mplayer: The Ultimate Movie Player For Linux. In component multiverse, is extra. Version 2:0.99+1.0pre8-0ubuntu8 (edgy), package size 3461 kB, installed size 8624 kB
[02:42] <arrenlex> TheVault: Yes.
[02:43] <eck> dick_: if console applications are your thing, rtorrent is very good
[02:43] <TheVault> alrighty
[02:43] <TheVault> lemme try that
[02:43] <Kronuz> (I have two RAID arrays)
[02:43] <gili> yes it rules
[02:43] <SJ2000> Ahh!! Ubuntu hates my monitor
[02:43] <dick_> eck: thanks
[02:43] <iNick> Flannel: 'cuz you asked me 'why'.  :)
[02:43] <rocca> K3nto: My ADSL connection needs a login and password, but sometimes I move to other places where I use ADSL cable connection without login and password, and sometimes to other places where I use wifi, so my question is : is there a tool that can manage those 3 ways to get connected ?
[02:43] <arrenlex> EkToBoT: What do you imagine a GUI compiler would look like? XD
[02:43] <Flannel> iNick: right, but why do you care what password sudo uses then?  Back to your original question.  Why a root password?
[02:43] <iNick> Flannel: i just never have appreciated sudo, never liked it, and probably never will
[02:43] <EkToBoT> like dev maybee?
[02:44] <theilliniguy> !codec | theilliniguy
[02:44] <arrenlex> EkToBoT: Oh, are you looking for a development environment?
[02:44] <gili> come one folks,.....does no one here have the i915 chipset on laptop?
[02:44] <techie> cafuego..... I think this program is going through a LOOP!
[02:44] <iNick> Flannel: 'cuz it's a systemwide setting.  my mind associates systemwide settings, or tasks, with root.
[02:44] <EkToBoT> arrenlex: well just a c++ compiler
[02:44] <arrenlex> gili: I do. Problems?
[02:44] <TheVault> arrenlex: I did not find mplayer in the Synaptics Package Manager when I searched but I found a Plugin for Firefox
[02:44] <techie> cafuego_ it does not make sense for an installation program to take so LONG!
[02:44] <theilliniguy> how do I get the bot info for codecs?
[02:44] <TheVault> Guess I gotta install it manually
[02:44] <arrenlex> TheVault: You have multiverse enabled? You are running edgy?
[02:44] <iNick> Flannel: brought up with BSD based systems, and i'm being forced to run a debian-based Linux OS at work.
[02:44] <TheVault> I got 6.06 of Ubuntu
[02:45] <Flannel> iNick: .... Just remove all users from the sudoers file, and then just use su.
[02:45] <TheVault> and Yeah I do have all my respitories things enabled
[02:45] <iNick> Flannel: will the OS then prompt for the root's password?
[02:45] <gili> arrenlex: no no problems just trying to get the svideo output working....have you tried any of  these mods on the ubuntuforums?
[02:45] <iNick> Flannel: by removing the sudoers file?
[02:45] <Flannel> iNick: no.  That would require sudo.
[02:45] <Flannel> iNick: Not removing the sudoers file, justmaking no users be able to use sudo (including yourself)
[02:45] <iNick> Flannel: around, and around in circles we go.
[02:45] <arrenlex> gili: Oh, never needed svideo, sorry.
[02:46] <gili> cool
[02:46] <Flannel> iNick: It would make sudo, essentially not exist.  So, if you wanted to do anything, you'd have to pop open a root shell, and go from there
[02:46] <iNick> Flannel: will the OS then prompt for the root's password? (removing everybody from sudoers?)
[02:46] <cafuego_> techie: dude, I don't know. I've never used virtualbox.
[02:46] <gili> so does anyone here with any video chipset use svideo?
[02:46] <Flannel> iNick: er, when?  with su?  yes. sudo? no.  No passwords would ever satiate sudo.
[02:46] <iNick> Flannel: sucky!
[02:46] <Flannel> iNick: su already behaves like that
[02:47] <Flannel> iNick: Er, Why?  That's exactly what you wanted.
[02:47] <Flannel> iNick: to remove sudo, and use su instead
[02:47] <techie> cafuego.... ok man
[02:47] <mike01> how do i get sound working again in ubuntu?
[02:47] <Kronuz> has anyone used FakeRAID ?
[02:47] <userund> !sound mike01
[02:47] <iNick> Flannel: something's getting lost in the convo...  i asked to make the system prompt me for the ROOT's password (which was already enabled), when I run a tool like the network configuration (systemwide config thing)
[02:47] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about sound mike01 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[02:48] <userund> !sound | mike01
[02:48] <p47> I can't read my dvd's with gxine, could you help me please !
[02:48] <ubotu> mike01: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[02:48] <mike01> i already did all of that
[02:48] <mike01> none of it helped
[02:48] <Mythmon> does ubuntu come standard with some firewall that is making my server not work? (ubuntu 6.10 desktop edition, not server)
[02:48] <iNick> you said to remove the users from sudoers.  I asked if that will make the system prompt me.  you said no, it won't work then
[02:48] <mike01> it is detecting my ati hdtv wonder tv card as the default sound card
[02:48] <theilliniguy> !codecs | theilliniguy
[02:48] <mike01> so i am not getting any sound
[02:48] <Flannel> iNick: So, you want the convienence of sudo, but all the while you're complaining about how you dislike sudo, and wish you could use su?
[02:48] <Kronuz> I installed dmraid and dmraid -r shows four devices (for my two RAID0 arrays, I suppose...) andwhat it seems to be two different identifiers
[02:48] <theilliniguy> hmmm  how do I get info from the bot?
[02:48] <Kronuz> (for each array, I guess
[02:49] <IndyGunFreak> Flannel: lol he sounds a little torn
[02:49] <Kronuz> but in /dev/mapper I don't see anything but a control "file"
[02:49] <TheVault> I'm on the mplayer website but I am unsure which one I should download
[02:49] <TheVault> So many differ choices
[02:49] <Kronuz> aren't my arrays supposed to be there?
[02:49] <Kronuz> (at /dev/mapper)
[02:49] <iNick> Flannel: my main complaint has always been how Linux (in general) has been structured, so unfamiliar with the traditional AT&T and BSD Unix OSs.  I'm trying to get something I'd already be familiar with, and it doesn't sound like there are any viable solutions
[02:49] <Pelo> TheVault,  just use the one in synaptic
[02:49] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: why not just use the one in the repos
[02:49] <arrenlex> TheVault: Use the one from the repos!
[02:50] <TheVault> repos?
[02:50] <arrenlex> !repos
[02:50] <ubotu> The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[02:50] <Kronuz> Flannel, are you familiar with FakeRAID?
[02:50] <bigjohnto> who is familiar with xdisplay and pseudocolor?
[02:50] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: open a terminal... "sudo apt-get install mplayer" no quotes
[02:50] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Hey bro. Wanna help me out
[02:50] <Pelo> TheVault,  welcome to ubuntu,  menu > system > admin > synaptic
[02:50] <SuckFace> hi all DCC SEND "JEWS_DID_WTC" right
[02:50] <bigjohnto> because I got a very challenging question
[02:50] <cube3|DJ> wow
[02:50] <arrenlex> !ops
[02:50] <ubotu> Help! Mez, LjL, elkbuntu, imbrandon, DBO, gnomefreak, Hobbsee, rob, ompaul, Madpilot, Burgundavia, Seveas, CarlK, crimsun, ajmitch, tritium, Nalioth, thoreauputic, apokryphos or tonyyarusso
[02:50] <SuckFace> oops DCC SEND "JEWS_DID_WTC" right
[02:50] <Flannel> iNick: Yes, there is.  Just use su to get a root prompt, and DONT use sudo at all.
[02:51] <SuckFace> why does this keep happening? lmao DCC SEND "JEWS_DID_WTC" right
[02:51] <bigjohnto>  ok, on windows I would use for instance Xming, and use a shell (xterm, putty.exe etc...) to log into my linux box.... I would them reroute the display (set the environement variable for display to my windows box xserver that xming would create) instead of using a fullscreen window to display 8 bit pseudocolor I prefered to use some kind of bufferish program that would recognize the remote program requires pseudocolor andjust emulat
[02:51] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: Get my reply back in the PM you sent me?
[02:51] <Mythmon> does ubuntu come default with some sort of firewall that makes any incoming connections not work? like a webserver?
[02:51] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: is your nickname registered, i sent you a PM
[02:51] <alex__> sent pm
[02:51] <bigjohnto> anyone have any xconfigish program to do that?
[02:51] <BrianG> how can i remove the kubuntu images when my computer boots and shuts down? i've tried removing the package kubuntu-grub-splashimages
[02:51] <Flannel> Mythmon: no.  Anything that listens will be able to
[02:51] <TheVault> IndyGunFreak: I got your message
[02:51] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: no.. your nick probaby isn't registered
[02:51] <TheVault> probably
[02:52] <SJ2000> Ubuntu keeps defaulting to a video option which my monitor can't support. I'm in terminal and I've tried dpkg-reconfigure but I don't know enough about the intense detail of my hardware. Can someone point me in the right direction?
[02:52] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: do you have Aim/Yahoo/ICQ, etc..?
[02:52] <Kronuz> arghh!!
[02:52] <Mythmon> odd, im trying to set up xampp, and it kinda works locally, but not from another system
[02:52] <cafuego_> BrianG: You need to not boot with the `splash' boot param. just remove it from /boot/grub/menu.lst
[02:52] <iNick> Flannel: well, I guess I start with that.  thank you much for your time.
[02:52] <TheVault> Ummm
[02:52] <TheVault> I got MSN
[02:52] <cafuego_> BrianG: and/or regenerate the initrd images
[02:52] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: i'm indygunfreak on the hotmail network, I think its the same as MSN
[02:52] <BrianG> i want it to be the ubuntu images, not the Kubuntu image cafuego_
[02:52] <Flannel> iNick: I don't see how thats exactly what you want.  If you want something different, ... I'm more than happy to help.  But reallyif you want it to be 'exactly like it was', then.. just don't use sudo, and use su instead.
[02:52] <TheVault> yup
[02:52] <TheVault> alright, login to msn and i'll add you
[02:53] <bigjohnto> so?, no ideas anyone know of a different channel that might be able to help me
[02:53] <IndyGunFreak> i'm on
[02:53] <Flannel> Mythmon: why xampp?  Just install a real LAMP install.
[02:53] <cafuego_> BrianG: Then all you need to do is regenerate the initrd images; 'dpkg-reconfigure' for all installed kernel packages should do the trick.
[02:53] <theilliniguy> how do I set "file associations" in Ubuntu?
[02:53] <Flannel> Mythmon: but, probably has somethign to do with the XAMPP software restricting itself to certain IPs
[02:53] <tjl30> he I wanted to try out the Kdesktop how would I do that?
[02:53] <BrianG> cafuego_: i'll try that, thanks
[02:53] <Mythmon> i had xampp on hand, i should try a normal LAMP install?
[02:53] <arrenlex> tjl30: kde? install kubuntu-desktop
[02:53] <bigjohnto> so?, no ideas anyone know of a different channel that might be able to help me
[02:53] <bigjohnto>  ok, on windows I would use for instance Xming, and use a shell (xterm, putty.exe etc...) to log into my linux box.... I would them reroute the display (set the environement variable for display to my windows box xserver that xming would create) instead of using a fullscreen window to display 8 bit pseudocolor I prefered to use some kind of bufferish program that would recognize the remote program requires pseudocolor andjust emulat
[02:54] <Kronuz> help!!
[02:54] <omeil> can someone help me please. i want to dual boot, my ntfs drive is on /dev/sda3. i know i need to edit the menu.lst file i tried but i couldn't get it to work properly please help someone :)
[02:54] <tjl30> well I am on ubuntu
[02:54] <bimberi> !defaultapp > theilliniguy
[02:54] <tjl30> so is there a way I can install kde but keep gnome
[02:54] <Flannel> Mythmon: you should.  XAMPP really came about because of windows, where it's more difficult for people to install all those things and have them be managed... reasonably.
[02:54] <Flannel> tjl30: sure.  Install kubuntu-desktop
[02:54] <arrenlex> tjl30: Of course. That command won't remove gnome. You'll be able to pick which to run at login.
[02:54] <IndyGunFreak> TheVault: are you there?
[02:55] <theilliniguy> bimberi thx
[02:55] <bimberi> theilliniguy: np :)
[02:55] <tjl30> so do I install the kubuntu-desktop through terminal?
[02:55] <Flannel> Mythmon: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP on a walkthrough to setting it up
[02:55] <Kronuz> dmraid -r and dmraid -s show my arrays okay
[02:55] <bigjohnto>  ok, on windows I would use for instance Xming, and use a shell (xterm, putty.exe etc...) to log into my linux box.... I would them reroute the display (set the environement variable for display to my windows box xserver that xming would create) instead of using a fullscreen window to display 8 bit pseudocolor I prefered to use some kind of bufferish program that would recognize the remote program requires pseudocolor andjust emulat
[02:55] <Flannel> !repeat | bigjohnto
[02:55] <ubotu> bigjohnto: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. You can search https://help.ubuntu.com or http://wiki.ubuntu.com while you wait. Also see !patience
[02:55] <Kronuz> but I can't see them at /dev/mapper :S why?
[02:55] <bigjohnto> ok really is their any place i can go to please?
[02:55] <bigjohnto> oh i didn't mean to repeat
[02:55] <bimberi> tjl30: yes, or using a package manager such as Synaptic
[02:56] <Dakana> So I'm sitting pretty on a brand new install of Ubuntu 6.10 from the CD. However, I've got 138 updates, some of which I am positive will break my drivers and cause X to not work on restart. How do I go about finding out what is breaking my drivers? This is my third install in two days...
[02:56] <omeil> so can anyone help me?
[02:56] <bigjohnto> i accidently hit the up arrow in here when i thought i was in putty and hit enter.... execuse me:P
[02:56] <bimberi> tjl30: 'sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop'
[02:56] <Flannel> bigjohnto: er, So, sounds like you want... to tunnel X through SSH? or...
[02:56] <KeeNaF> guys, why I cant stream video? I want to watch trailer from apple website but during the play time, it shows no video .. :( .. please help me
[02:56] <tjl30> how large is kubuntu-desktop?
[02:56] <tjl30> I only have 8 GB
[02:56] <bigjohnto> Flannel, yes
[02:56] <bigjohnto> I am able to with no problems, but pseudocolor emulation is killing me
[02:56] <ubuntu> #-se
[02:56] <arrenlex> tjl30: It will tell you before you install.
[02:57] <omeil> so kubuntu is ubuntu with the kde dekstop?
[02:57] <tjl30> ok thanks
[02:57] <gili> if it takes mark 5 hours to paint a wall which takes sara 10 hours, how long will it take them to do it together...?
[02:57] <arrenlex> omeil: Yes
[02:57] <tjl30> yes
[02:57] <Flannel> bigjohnto: That's pretty standard.  There's plenty of tutorials out there on the web (search for X tunneling), it's fairly distribution agnostic, so you don't need to worry about finding an ubuntu specific one too much
[02:57] <ubuntu> #-se
[02:57] <Mythmon> gili: isnt that a question that you cannot find the answer for?
[02:57] <Flannel> omeil: just like ubuntu is ubuntu with a Gnome desktop
[02:57] <arrenlex> gili: 3.
[02:57] <Mythmon> without actually trying it
[02:57] <arrenlex> gili: 3.333... actually.
[02:57] <Mythmon> guess not
[02:57] <rbil> Dakana: usually the only thing that will break a graphics driver is a kernel update. then the proprietary driver has to also be updated to match the kernel you're using.
[02:57] <KeeNaF> guys, why I cant stream video? I want to watch trailer from apple website but during the play time, it shows no video .. :( .. please help me
[02:57] <bigjohnto> lol, Flannel, I can eumlate 8 + 24 bit simultaneously in ubuntu/unix/linux no problems
[02:57] <gili> oh F....sorry wrong channel
[02:57] <bigjohnto> I want to do it in windows
[02:57] <gili> thanks thought
[02:57] <omeil> oh ok. umm anyone know how to edit the menu.lst properly?
[02:58] <arrenlex> gili: yw ;)
[02:58] <SJ2000> I says Ubuntu is trying to run at 161Hz, isn' that a tad high?
[02:58] <techie> can anybody help I try to run my synaptic package and it tells me: Error, dkpg was interrupt  you must manually run dpkg configure a to correct the problem
[02:58] <arrenlex> gili: 1/3+1/10=1, If I recall grade 9 correctly (no guarantees)
[02:58] <gili> yes i know i am a math teacher
[02:58] <techie> cafuego... this happened after trying to install the virtual box. Can you help?
[02:58] <Flannel> omeil: follow the instructions in it.  Edit only the top bit (all the comments) if you need boot parameters, edit only the stuff after the end of the 'automagic kernels' if you need more manual boot options
[02:58] <gili> i am talking in another geeky math channel
[02:58] <techie> cafuego, now I cant' run my synaptic package....
[02:59] <Dakana> rbil: I've been having a lot of trouble with the ati drivers - after I updated the kernel to .11, I built the drivers from source and still kept having an issue where the x server would become completely unresponsive, even to ctrl+alt+backspace
[02:59] <ubuntu> #ubuntu-se
[02:59] <Flannel> ubuntu: /join #ubuntu-se
[02:59] <wheels3572> Does ./configure and make come in a tar.gz file or is that part of build essiantials?
[02:59] <ubuntu> #ubuntu-se
[02:59] <Flannel> ubuntu: you need "/join #ubuntu-se"
[02:59] <rbil> Dakana: well if it's working now, just don't include any kernel update until you have the driver situation sorted out
[02:59] <arrenlex> wheels3572: ./configure comes in the file, but make is part of b-e.
[02:59] <bruenig> wheels3572, ./configure is you running the script, make come sin build-essential
[02:59] <techie> How do I run this problem when trying to run Synaptic: E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.
[02:59] <arrenlex> wheels3572: ./configure will fail without b-e anyway.
[03:00] <arrenlex> wheels3572: Since it won't find a compiler, which is in b-e.
[03:00] <gili> thanks all
[03:00] <omeil> flannel: i tried but i get Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format
[03:00] <bruenig> techie, close synaptic and run sudo dpkg --configure -a
[03:00] <rbil> Dakana: and remember with Grub you can always go back and boot a previous kernel
[03:00] <gili> arrenlex: its actually 1/10  + 1/5  = 1
[03:01] <KeeNaF> guys, why I cant stream video? I want to watch trailer from apple website but during the play time, it shows no video or browser suddenly closed.. :( .. please help me
[03:01] <arrenlex> gili: Unless 1+2 != 2+1, that's what I said. xD
[03:01] <Dakana> rbil: Right... but I lose track of which drivers I had for which kernel :P
[03:01] <wheels3572> arrenlex, Ok cuz I wanted to install firefox <IP_ADDRESS> but couldn't find the ./configure in the firefox-<IP_ADDRESS>.tar.gz
[03:01] <gili> and yes its 3.33333hours
[03:01] <arrenlex> (18:58:18) arrenlex: gili: 1/3+1/10=1, If I recall grade 9 correctly (no guarantees)
[03:01] <techie> bruenig, i will try thanks
[03:01] <kitche> !w32codecs | KeeNaF
[03:01] <ubotu> KeeNaF: Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages, including the win32 codecs: see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - See also !Codecs
[03:01] <arrenlex> gili: Oh, wait. Yeah, that's what I meant, sorry. I confused the answer with the question.
[03:01] <rbil> Dankana: I hear you. It can be a pain.
[03:01] <bruenig> wheels3572, that is already compiled, all you do is extract it and run the firefox script to launch firefox
[03:01] <gili> haha
[03:01] <wheels3572> bruenig, how would I do that.
[03:02] <gili> i am surprised ubotu has not yelled at me yet
[03:02] <wheels3572> I extracted it
[03:02] <techie> bruenig, now I get this: <bruenig> wheels3572, that is already compiled, all you do is extract it
[03:02] <arrenlex> wheels3572: Firefox needs to be made using a special file. Please don't mess with it. Just use the repo build or the official release.
[03:02] <KeeNaF> ok .. tq kitche and ubotu ... I try 1st ..
[03:02] <arrenlex> wheels3572: Oh, did you download the release? That's a binary. It's ready to run.
[03:02] <wheels3572> arrenlex, ok
[03:02] <bruenig> wheels3572, go into the directory and double click the script that says firefox
[03:02] <techie> bruenig...sorry wrong message. let me try again.
[03:02] <bruenig> techie, that is a weird error
[03:02] <wheels3572> bruenig, ok
[03:02] <gili> ok so one last time......has anyone had any experience with S-vide output Xorg modifications?
[03:02] <soyke> how do i get X to run at a sane resolution?
[03:02] <wheels3572> arrenlex, I downloaded from firefox site
[03:02] <arrenlex> !fixres | soyke
[03:02] <SJ2000> The Gnome on Ubuntu Server works correctly, why doesn't the one on Ubuntu Desktop work? Would it have something to do with 64bit?
[03:03] <ubotu> soyke: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[03:03] <arrenlex> wheels3572: Just run the "firefox" program in that tarball.
[03:03] <SJ2000> !fixres
[03:03] <Kronuz> how come I don't see my RAID arrays at /dev/mapper ?
[03:03] <gili> bueno.....feliz noche chicos!!!
[03:03] <wheels3572> arrenlex, that's my problem im not sure which file fires up firefox lol
[03:03] <techie> bruenig E: The package virtualbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[03:03] <techie> E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
[03:03] <kitche> Kronuz: did you set the raid up correctly?
[03:04] <Kronuz> I guess I did
[03:04] <arrenlex> wheels3572: The file "firefox".
[03:04] <bruenig> techie, how did you install it
[03:04] <Kronuz> kitche, dmraid -s shows them alright
[03:04] <techie> bruenig, should i remove the virtualbox.
[03:04] <bruenig> techie, try it, sudo apt-get remove virtualbox
[03:04] <techie> bruening. I downloade it from virtualbox.org and then double click on it
[03:04] <utilisateur> my ./configure fails because : checking default filename output ... cannot create executable files , any ideas , already installed build-essentials..
[03:04] <Kronuz> kitche, as well as dmraid -r
[03:04] <soyke> why doesn't X obey /etc/X11/xorg.conf?
[03:04] <bruenig> soyke, did you restart x
[03:04] <Kronuz> kitche, it shows the IDs and all (the size, etc.)
[03:05] <Kronuz> but there's nothing at /dev/mapper :(
[03:05] <kitche> Kronuz: see if you have anything in /dev/md thinkt hat is another folder for raid but I m not familar with raid myself
[03:05] <arrenlex> utilisateur: What's the output of dpkg -l build-essential | grep ^ii | wc -l
[03:05] <Kronuz> kitche, nope :(
[03:05] <soyke> bruenig xorgconf already had 1280x768 in it, but it didn't use that resolution...
[03:05] <Kronuz> there's only /dev/mapper, /dev/mem and /dev/mixer there
[03:05] <techie> bruenig, when I try that command i get this:  sudo apt-get remove virtualbox
[03:05] <soyke> err, 1280x1024
[03:06] <bruenig> techie, that is the command
[03:06] <techie> and then it tell me: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[03:06] <techie> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[03:06] <soyke> in slackware it works fine...
[03:06] <bruenig> techie, close synaptic like I already told you
[03:06] <Kronuz> kitche, at /dev/mapper there's only a file called control
[03:06] <utilisateur> arrenlex: wait, i'll go check upstairs, i don't have internet in my ubuntu ...
[03:06] <techie> bruenig synaptic is closed
[03:06] <bruenig> techie, close the update manager
[03:06] <kupesoft> utilisateur: INTERNET IN YOUR UBUNTU!
[03:06] <arrenlex> utilisateur: How did you install build-essential and all its dependencies without the interwebs?
[03:07] <techie> bruenig where is the update manager.
[03:07] <kitche> techie: alsoif your not root do sudo
[03:07] <Kronuz> could it be that I have two arrays and not just one?
[03:07] <leanbeef> does anyone happen to know if you can rearrange contact groups in kopete?
[03:07] <bruenig> techie, you have some package management thing going somewhere
[03:07] <kupesoft> arrenlex: I think build-essential is on the CD,
[03:07] <infidel> ok i was working on a theme now both my taskbars are gone how can i get them back?
[03:07] <techie> bruenig apparently but I do not see it or know where....
[03:07] <soyke> hello
[03:07] <arrenlex> !hi | soyke
[03:07] <utilisateur> download downstatires, copy upstairs , and install upstairs
[03:07] <ubotu> soyke: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[03:07] <soyke> exit
[03:07] <utilisateur> down to get dependencies...
[03:07] <Frogzoo> infidel: run gnome-panel
[03:07] <utilisateur> and up to install
[03:07] <arrenlex> utilisateur: Are you sure you installed all the dependencies?
[03:07] <utilisateur> funny$
[03:08] <soyke> did i get disconnected?
[03:08] <Kronuz> (it shouldn't, both arrays are reported okay by "dmraid -s")
[03:08] <infidel> Frogzoo, doesn't work, says there is a panel running exiting
[03:08] <techie> bruenig, what shall i do next?
[03:08] <utilisateur> i'm just sur that i'm really pissed of with the situation
[03:08] <bruenig> techie, I mean I am not there so I don't know what you have running exactly, you can restart your computer to make sure nothing is running if you want
[03:08] <Kronuz> they even have the name there and everything, they just don't show at /dev/mapper
[03:08] <Frogzoo> infidel: logout/login
[03:08] <utilisateur> pretty sur,
[03:08] <arrenlex> utilisateur: Why don't you have internet?
[03:08] <techie> ok i will try to restart and be back and then see what is happening.
[03:08] <kupesoft> arrenlex: He has no internet in his Ubuntu, silly,
[03:09] <infidel> Frogzoo, didn't work either
[03:09] <utilisateur> is it really important to have internet to get my box working correctly
[03:09] <arrenlex> kupesoft: Yep. I'm asking why.
[03:09] <xelados> I downloaded a mouse cursor theme from gnome-look.org, but don't know how to install it. I checked "Mouse" under the preferences in GNOME, but was unable to find anything for themes.
[03:09] <utilisateur> ?
[03:09] <infidel> Frogzoo, if i sudo gnome-panel it comes up
[03:09] <arrenlex> utilisateur: Well, you can do without, I guess, but what is there to do on a computer without the internet?
[03:09] <nero> if a kill -9 isnt killing a process, any suggestions as to how to "force" the kill?
[03:09] <utilisateur> cables are not long enought :)
[03:09] <Frogzoo> infidel: don't sudo gnome-panel - all that's doing is running as a different user - eg. root,
[03:10] <arrenlex> !wireless | utilisateur
[03:10] <arrenlex> :)
[03:10] <ubotu> utilisateur: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[03:10] <utilisateur> devlop
[03:10] <utilisateur> :)
[03:10] <utilisateur> don't have wifi router
[03:10] <infidel> Frogzoo, i know, but like i said it's the only way it comes up
[03:10] <xelados> Anyone know how to install a mouse cursor theme?
[03:10] <mike01> i rebooted; sound is still broken
[03:10] <xelados> I have the .desktop file and everything.
[03:11] <omeil_> Can someone help me edit my menu.lst file i keep getting Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format when i try to boot windows xp
[03:11] <bruenig> .desktop is an application menu entry I thought
[03:11] <xelados> Maybe it's .theme..
[03:11] <xelados> regardless, I have the file needed for the mouse cursor theme
[03:11] <xelados> but no idea where to put it or the source images
[03:11] <Flannel> omeil_: Pastebin it
[03:11] <mike01> sound card is not detected
[03:11] <xelados> And the tarball didn't come with a README
[03:11] <utilisateur> don't have money to get it..
[03:11] <utilisateur> so
[03:11] <xelados> or INSTALL or anything :<
[03:12] <omeil_> !paste

[03:12] <ToddEDM> yes, im still having sound issues
[03:13] <arrenlex> utilisateur: Then dualboot.
[03:13] <utilisateur> to getcan u explain ?
[03:13] <omeil_> Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8872/plain/
[03:13] <Frogzoo> infidel: well you can try to fix it, or you can clear out your ~/.gnome* settings, & restart gdm - but you'll lose all your gnome settings obviously
[03:13] <arrenlex> utilisateur: What?
[03:13] <techie> bruenig, I rebooted , so please give me the command again to remove this stupid package Virtualbox. Also i opened the synaptic and got error: again about reinstalling virtualbox
[03:13] <utilisateur> dualboot ?
[03:14] <bjohnson> I have an old 19" HP CRT monitor I'm trying to get running with ubuntu.  I'm playing with xorg.conf.  Does anyone know what horiz settings might work with a monitor whose back plate says 50-60 HZ?  I assume that's vert refresh rate
[03:14] <arrenlex> utilisateur: Yeah.
[03:14] <rbil> ToddEDM: double click on speaker on panel and then in mixer, click File ... Change device
[03:14] <Flannel> omeil_: and, selecting what gives the error?
[03:14] <utilisateur> how ?
[03:14] <arrenlex> !dualboot | utilisateur

[03:14] <omeil_> Flannel: I deleted it :(
[03:14] <ToddEDM> rbil: ALSA doesnt come up as an option in there
[03:14] <Frogzoo> bjohnson: you want to set the xorg.conf params HorizSync & VertRefresh
[03:14] <omeil_> Flannel: one sec lemme see if i got a back up
[03:14] <utilisateur> i dont need a dualboot .., i don't want to have windows..
[03:14] <utilisateur> i juste want a linux running fine
[03:14] <|omegabeta|> .
[03:14] <arrenlex> utilisateur: Then just install ubuntu on the downstairs machine!
[03:14] <soyke> does ubuntu include that xorgconfig script anywhere? the one that asks you all the questions and writes xorgconfig for you?
[03:15] <utilisateur> it's not mine
[03:15] <arrenlex> soyke: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[03:15] <xelados> soyke: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[03:15] <Frogzoo> soyke: run "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[03:15] <techie> anyone what is the command to remove the virtualbox package
[03:15] <utilisateur> all u propose is to have internet in my box , to repaire it$
[03:15] <rbil> ToddEDM: sorry, then I don't know? Maybe your sound device doesn't support alsa?
[03:15] <ToddEDM> utilisateur: ... ditto, i want linux running fine too......
[03:15] <utilisateur> sounds like a prerequisis to get ubuntu running*
[03:15] <bjohnson> Frogzoo: yeah.  I assume 50-60hz is the vertrefesh.  Does that sounds right?
[03:16] <B|00d|u5T> what up all
[03:16] <omeil_> Flannel: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8873/

[03:17] <Flannel> !repositories | B|00d|u5T
[03:17] <ubotu> B|00d|u5T: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories and http://www.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/components - See also !EasySource
[03:17] <utilisateur> i have to write it down before
[03:17] <arrenlex> mortici: Open kcontrol > Peripherals > Keyboard > Numlock on KDE startup
[03:17] <B|00d|u5T> i got that help page and im still a little lost
[03:17] <Frogzoo> bjohnson: wrong settings can destroy your monitor - don't guess, google first
[03:17] <utilisateur> yep , get it from CD Live
[03:17] <Flannel> omeil_: er, you need to move your windows XP thing below that bottom line, or it'll get removed as soon as you upgrade your kernel
[03:17] <arrenlex> utilisateur: You can mount the CD as a repository and apt-get packages from it.
[03:17] <arrenlex> utilisateur: Run the command "man apt-cdrom" to learn how.
[03:17] <rbil> ToddEDM, maybe check to see whether alsa server is running. sudo /etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart     ... maybe?
[03:17] <bjohnson> Frogzoo: google is coming up with nothing.  Even the HP site doesn't have anything about this 12 year old monitor
[03:17] <amoun> Hi folks I'm net to Linux and have installed ubuntu 6.10
[03:17] <omeil_> Flannel: oh, umm does that look right (hd0,0)
[03:18] <ToddEDM> rbil: i will try anything at this point
[03:18] <utilisateur> there is not all the packages in the cd
[03:18] <Kronuz> arghh! my devices are not there at /dev/mapper and I don't know what to do :S
[03:18] <arrenlex> utilisateur: No, but I'm pretty sure build-essential is there.
[03:18] <bjohnson> Frogzoo: if I kill it, I woun't be any further behind than I am now
[03:18] <techie> Can anybody tell me the terminal command to remove virtualbox? it got corrupted
[03:18] <Flannel> omeil_: yeah, that's hda1

[03:18] <omeil_> flannel: oh ok. so move it down the line then grub-update?
[03:18] <arrenlex> utilisateur: Yes, and all of the dependencies?
[03:18] <arrenlex> utilisateur: If you mount the CD as a repository, it will automatically install all dependencies.
[03:19] <Flannel> omeil_: shrug, the update won't do anything.  What error are you getting?
[03:19] <amoun> The problem I'm trying to understand at the moment is one on font rendering. Anyone up for it??
[03:19] <infidel> Frogzoo, i got the top panel pack any idea on how to get the bottom?
[03:19] <Flannel> omeil_: the update generates a new menu.lst, based on new kernels
[03:19] <techie> cafuego_ this is a mess, do you know the command to remove this stupid program Virtualbox  via terminal?
[03:19] <Flannel> techie: how did you install it?
[03:19] <ToddEDM> okayyyyyyyy i did that rbil , but nothing in the volume>file>change device
[03:19] <cafuego_> sudo apt-get remove --purge virtualbox
[03:19] <B|00d|u5T> k i read that site im just havin a lil prob understandin complete
[03:19] <utilisateur> arrenlex: , it doesn't install if there is not all the dependencies
[03:19] <rbil> ToddEDM: did it say it was restarting?
[03:20] <omeil_> Flannel: Error 13: Invalid or unsupported executable format.
[03:20] <Frogzoo> infidel: right click -> new panel
[03:20] <ToddEDM> ohhhh nope
[03:20] <Flannel> omeil_: when you do what?
[03:20] <ToddEDM> errors
[03:20] <arrenlex> utilisateur: All the dependencies will be on the CD.
[03:20] <ToddEDM> hold on
[03:20] <techie> Flannel I downloded and try to install deb and somebody here added some library files to it. now is messing up my synpatic package. how do i remove via terminal?
[03:20] <B|00d|u5T> can somebody pleaes help walk me thorugh so i can understand and learn how to do it?
[03:20] <omeil_> Flannel: select Windows XP Professional from the grub boot loader
[03:20] <ToddEDM>  * Shutting down ALSA...                                                         * warning: 'alsactl store' failed with error message 'alsactl: get_control:149: Cannot read control info '2,0,0,Capture Volume,1': Invalid argument'...
[03:20] <Flannel> omeil_: oh.  Right.  Which partition is your windows on?
[03:20] <omeil_> Flannel: i installed ubuntu on first then, i did a ghost backup on the other patition of my XP
[03:20] <techie> cafuego, thanks I just put that command and hope it worked.
[03:21] <omeil_> Flannel: /dev/sda3
[03:21] <Flannel> omeil_: the hd0,0 is wrong.  That needs to be hd0,2
[03:21] <Flannel> omeil_: for the windows boot
[03:21] <omeil_> Flannel: oh ok lemme try it
[03:21] <ToddEDM> warning: 'alsactl restore' failed with error message 'alsactl: set_control:873: failed to obtain info for control #24 (Invalid argument)'...
[03:22] <techie> Flannel or cafuego i get this now in synaptic: E: The package virtualbox needs to be reinstalled, but I can't find an archive for it.
[03:22] <techie> E: Internal error opening cache (1). Please report.
[03:22] <omeil_> Flannel: should i still put windows at the bottom?
[03:22] <infidel> Frogzoo, not exactly the same is it?
[03:22] <ToddEDM> anyone know that to do with those errors?
[03:22] <Flannel> omeil_: windows needs to be after the "### End Debian automagic kernels list" line.  Always.
[03:22] <techie> flannel how is that possible when cafuego just gave me the command to purge it.
[03:22] <omeil_> Flannel: oh ok then lemme go test it thx
[03:22] <ToddEDM> lalala
[03:23] <techie> Flannel how do i get rid of this?
[03:23] <amoun> Anywhere/one to discuss font rendering?
[03:23] <Flannel> omeil_: any boot entry thing between that and the begin of that (line 52 of that paste) gets rewritten each time you get a new kernel (thats why those option things are there, they stay, and are used to generate the kernel parameters)
[03:23] <riqz> hey fellas
[03:23] <Dna^> hi

[03:24] <IndyGunFreak> I've got some FLV files, they play fine, but no audio
[03:24] <IndyGunFreak> !flv
[03:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about flv - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:24] <techie> Flannel, I use this command: sudo apt-get remove --purge virtualbox but it did not work apparently in helping synaptic

[03:24] <riqz> !widget
[03:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about widget - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi

[03:24] <krash123> hi all
[03:24] <ubotu> If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[03:24] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: anything, xine, mplayer, totem, all of them play fine, but no audio.
[03:24] <riqz> arrenlex: hey mate
[03:24] <kb9tua> while trying to install 6.06, the installer crashes. Something about ubiquity. Help!
[03:25] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: And these players play audio in other movies fine?
[03:25] <Lord_Maynoth> dumb question... if I have a launcher that uses gksu <insert program name>  is there a way to put my password in so I don't have to do it each time?
[03:25] <arrenlex> riqz: Hiya.
[03:25] <krash123> what program should i use for hd partitioning ?
[03:25] <Flannel> Dna^: 5.04 isn't supported anymore by canonical, you should upgrade.  As for whether cedega work on it, you'd have to ask the cedega people
[03:25] <cycro> a little help?
[03:25] <riqz> arrenlex: u got any good widgets i could install?
[03:25] <voidmage> what file is the list of installed packages stored on?
[03:25] <arrenlex> riqz: Nope. Don't run gnome.
[03:25] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: before i screwed up my PC and had to reinstall ubuntu(completely my fault), i remember i googled a site over this problem and found a fix, but now i can't find it.
[03:25] <riqz> arrenlex: dang
[03:25] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: And these players play audio in other movies fine?
[03:25] <krash123> what program should i use for hd partitioning ?
[03:25] <IndyGunFreak> yeah, perfectly
[03:26] <amoun> Hi Again.   There's also a partitioner in the isntaller, if that (installing) is what youre doing.
[03:26] <riqz> arrenlex: u use kde?
[03:26] <arrenlex> amoun: I've never had problems with KDE font rendering, while fonts in other applications were distorted.
[03:26] <arrenlex> riqz: Yes.
[03:26] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: Could you run mplayer from the command-line on one of these mysterious movies, and pastebin all output?
[03:26] <techie> cafuego, after I use your command and entered password, this is what I get now: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
[03:26] <techie> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[03:26] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: yeah, hang on
[03:26] <krash123> flannel, no, i already installed..
[03:27] <techie> cafuego does it make sense to you.
[03:27] <Flannel> krash123: then gparted will work for you
[03:27] <krash123> thanks
[03:27] <matju> how do i burn ubuntu-6.06.1-desktop-i386.iso (732336128 bytes) if both CD recorders that I have, say that a 80 minute disc is too small?
[03:27] <Kronuz> ... seems I won't be able to install Ubuntu... at least today :(
[03:27] <ToddEDM> it might be the DVD?
[03:27] <Flannel> krash123: but, you can't do any partitioning on mounted drives, so if you're modifying the partitions already in use, you'll probably need the liveCD
[03:27] <amoun> Thanks arrenlex . . Can I install the necessary packages to transform ubuntu or do I have to load Kubuntu to sort the fonts?
[03:27] <zcat[1] > matju: overburn
[03:28] <arrenlex> matju: That's 698.4 MB. How big are your CDs?
[03:28] <zcat[1] > sounds like they might be 650's
[03:28] <techie> cafuego. did you read the error message I sent you.
[03:29] <matju> arrenlex: they're advertised as "80 minute / 700 MB"
[03:29] <arrenlex> amoun: No idea, sorry.
[03:29] <arrenlex> matju: Then it should fit. Tight squeeze, but...
[03:29] <zcat[1] > matju: what are you using to burn them?
[03:29] <arrenlex> matju: What are you trying to burn it in
[03:29] <techie> Flannel u still there?
[03:29] <amoun> OK arrenlex. Thanks
[03:30] <Flannel> matju: 700MB CDs are the size required for the ISO, and they do fit.
[03:30] <ToddEDM> hahahahaha i have no idea what i did, but my sound is working!!!
[03:30] <ToddEDM> ahhhhh the sweet sound of the Hip
[03:30] <matju> zcat[1] : both the gnome file manager and /usr/bin/cdrecord
[03:30] <rbil> ToddEDM: great :-)
[03:30] <ToddEDM> ;)
[03:30] <ToddEDM> im proud of myself
[03:30] <ToddEDM> aha

[03:31] <darek214> can any1 help me get sound working for tv? The video is displayed but there is no sound. any help would be greatly appreciated
[03:31] <zcat[1] > matju: well, cdrecord should id the media.. what's it say?

[03:31] <Flannel> utilisateur: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:31] <ToddEDM> how can i play .mp3s?
[03:31] <utilisateur> no net
[03:31] <arrenlex> matju: Pass the -overburn switch.

[03:31] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about codes - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:31] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: now this is wierd, when i run it from terminal, it runs audio fine
[03:31] <arrenlex> utilisateur: From the cdrom, like I said.

[03:31] <Flannel> utilisateur: use apt-cdrom to add the CD you do have to your repositories, then sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:31] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: The terminal solves all problems. :)
[03:32] <ToddEDM> thanks
[03:32] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: lol
[03:32] <riqz> arrenlex: gnome rocks man!
[03:32] <matju> arrenlex: i'm already trying that now
[03:32] <arrenlex> riqz: Enjoy it.
[03:32] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: but how can i get it to work with the gui version?
[03:32] <matju> zcat[1] : which line do you want? what does it start with?
[03:32] <utilisateur> apt-cdrom add gives weird errors
[03:32] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: Can't answer that without knowing what the problem is.
[03:32] <arrenlex> utilisateur: It's really hard to debug "weird errors".
[03:33] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: hang on, i'll pastebin everything there.
[03:33] <zcat[1] > matju: somewhere in the output it should say what size the disks are. You shouldn't need -overburn if they really are 700M disks.
[03:33] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: If it ran fine, then there's nothing to pastebin. Must be some settings in your gui.
[03:33] <techie> Flannel this is the error now:  E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11 Resource temporarily unavailable)
 E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it?
[03:33] <techie> flannel Can you help
[03:33] <utilisateur> long file names locked..
[03:33] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: yeah, i guess that makes sense
[03:33] <Flannel> techie: if you're not using sudo, use sudo.  If you are using sudo, close any other package managers (synaptic, etc)
[03:34] <Flannel> utilisateur: What command did you give to get that error?
[03:34] <Allen3373> that was wierd.. couldn't see anyones posts. had to reconnect
[03:34] <techie> Flannel I closed all the packages.
[03:34] <utilisateur> apt-cdrom add
[03:34] <techie> ok how I use the sudo command to remove the program then
[03:34] <Allen3373> can anyone help me with installing drivers using ndiswrapper? it's telling me ndiswrapper is not a valid command
[03:34] <utilisateur> i forgot sudo ?

[03:40] <owner__> i cannot run test.php
[03:40] <utilisateur> and without internet, pretty long to get it done
[03:40] <arrenlex> utilisateur: Make sure those packages aren't on the CD before you compile them.

[03:42] <Flannel> utilisateur: Then use apt-cdrom to add the alternate CD to your repositories, and apache et al are in it.

[03:47] <shockwave1> iv'e installed it a few times, but so far firefox can't see it
[03:47] <arrenlex> Linuturk: What card?
[03:47] <dRk_sHd0w> Flannel, it doesnt work it says the dependencies are missing
[03:47] <Flannel> shockwave1: you don't want to enable the entire backports.  What you want to do is go to packages.ubuntu.com, scroll to your backports (edgy or dapper backports), find flash, download that deb, and manually install that particular one
[03:47] <Flannel> dRk_sHd0w: what are you installing?

[03:48] <techie_> arrenlex. I did and now this: dpkg: error processing virtualbox (--purge):
[03:48] <techie_>  Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
[03:48] <techie_>  reinstall it before attempting a removal.

[03:48] <Linuturk> arrenlex: I have direct rendering working on another machine at work, running dapper, but I don't remember how I got it working
[03:48] <dtolj> Flannel: 6.10
[03:48] <Flannel> dtolj: right, that's Edgy.  Desktop? or Alternate?
[03:48] <Linuturk> arrenlex: I'm running a dapper to edgy upgrade at home
[03:48] <techie_> arrenlex is there a different way of removing this?
[03:48] <dtolj> Flannel: Desktop
[03:48] <arrenlex> techie_: Looks like you're going to have to reinstall and then remove it.
[03:49] <Flannel> dtolj: you can't upgrade with the Desktop CD, just install.  You'll need the alternate CD, or just upgrade from the interblags.
[03:49] <techie_> arrenlex, I tried to reinstall and it will not do it> It never really installed
[03:49] <arrenlex> Linuturk: I'm not familiar with that card. Is it really old?
[03:49] <Flannel> dRk_sHd0w: and which packages have unmet dependencies?
[03:49] <Linuturk> not terribly old I don't think
[03:49] <techie_> arrenlex. then what is the best way to re-install I just downloaded the package from virtualbox.org
[03:49] <Linuturk> it has a tv tuner and such arrenlex
[03:50] <dRk_sHd0w> Flannel, any of them including apt-get update :(
[03:50] <techie_> and then double clicked on it
[03:50] <arrenlex> techie_: Do you still have that package?
[03:50] <duckdown> Hi all.. Is anyone familiar with running X programs on a remote box through ssh? (ssh -X outside.machine.com) I am able to run individual applications like 'firefox' and 'konqueror' and what not, but I can't seem to figure out how to get into my own Window Manager (like GNOME).. I'd rather open a whole desktop rather than running individual X programs by hand every time
[03:50] <arrenlex> Linuturk: Okay. Do you want to try fglrx for it?
[03:50] <Flannel> dRk_sHd0w: That last sentence doesn't make any sense, honestly.  So, what you're saying is any package you try and install has unmet dependencies?  Arlight.  Pastebin your sources.list
[03:50] <bradp>  i use hidd --search to get bluetooth mouse and keyboard ... but it only lasts approx 30 min ... ive seen info out there ... just short on time ... any thoughts
[03:50] <soyke> is there an easy way to install lilo?
[03:50] <BeepAU> whats the command to determine my chipset?
[03:51] <Linuturk> arrenlex: since the ati driver isn't working, I guess I don
[03:51] <Linuturk> arrenlex: since the ati driver isn't working, I guess I don't have a choice*
[03:51] <xelados> duckdown: Have you tried sending "startx" or "gdm" or "kdm", etc?
[03:51] <dRk_sHd0w> Flannel, whats the pastebin url
[03:51] <arrenlex> Linuturk: Wait, what driver were you trying, exactly?
[03:51] <Flannel> !paste | dRk_sHd0w
[03:51] <ubotu> dRk_sHd0w: pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (be sure to give the URL of your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[03:51] <gyaresu> BeepAU: 'lspci' and it'll be in that list.
[03:51] <techie_> arrenlex I put it on the trash.... how do i retrieve it.
[03:51] <Linuturk> arrenlex: the open source driver
[03:51] <Linuturk> arrenlex: "ati"
[03:51] <techie_> arrenlex and how do i install .... by double clicking on it
[03:51] <shockwave1> can someone give me the code to uninstall adobe flash before i try to reinstall it
[03:52] <duckdown> xelados, yeah, i tried startx and it started X on the actual machine and displayed it to the remote box's monitor, never opened a desktop for me
[03:52] <BeepAU> gyaresu - which one is my chipset?
[03:52] <Linuturk> arrenlex: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver
[03:52] <arrenlex> Linuturk: There's your problem. That driver doesn't provide any 3D acceleration at all.
[03:52] <Linuturk> that one
[03:52] <arrenlex> Linuturk: You want to try the "radeon" driver instead.
[03:52] <B|00d|u5T> alright
[03:52] <techie_> arrenlex the package in in the trash but I can see it there
[03:52] <gyaresu> BeepAU: pastebin the output and I'll tell you.
[03:52] <Linuturk> arrenlex: I followed the link I just gave you
[03:52] <B|00d|u5T> i have to update my repositories from command
[03:52] <B|00d|u5T> i dont know how
[03:52] <Linuturk> arrenlex: the "radeon" driver
[03:52] <Flannel> shockwave1: you don't want to unisntall.  That new package is treated as an updated version of the old one.  And you do need the rest of the packages (the plugins package, etc) to run that new one
[03:52] <techie_> arrenlex, tell me how to retrieve and then how to install it?
[03:52] <tjl30> is there any other desktop environments besides kde and gnome ?
[03:52] <Radica1Faith> does anyone know where i can get help for my wireless monitor mode problem?
[03:52] <rbil> duckdown: look at System ... Preferences ... Remote Desktop
[03:52] <Flannel> tjl30: there's... dozens, if not hundreds.
[03:53] <tjl30> for ubuntu?
[03:53] <Linuturk> arrenlex: that wiki page is what I followed. The driver installed, but no direct rendering
[03:53] <xelados> duckdown: You should try running one of the DMs, then. If "startx" starts just X, then your gdm or kdm, etc settings are in an xinitrc file
[03:53] <arrenlex> Linuturk: Are you on that machine right now? Try changing "ati" to "radeon" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:53] <xelados> or something similar.
[03:53] <Flannel> tjl30: Ubuntu is just linux.  But, 'official' ubuntu projects, you can also try Xubuntu, which uses XFCE
[03:53] <killown> exist monitor wireless?
[03:53] <Linuturk> arrenlex: ok, I'll try that
[03:53] <BUMBACL0T> what's the best filesystem for jump drives?
[03:53] <techie_> arrendlex should I redownload and re-install

[03:53] <xelados> BUMBACL0T: usbfs?
[03:53] <Flannel> BUMBACL0T: probably fat32
[03:53] <shockwave1> Flannel: I have dl and installled the gz file but the browser doesn't see it. so I should already have adobe 9 installed, but when i hit about:plugins it's not there
[03:53] <arrenlex> techie_: Just drag it out of your trsah.
[03:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about gnutella - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[03:53] <arrenlex> trash
[03:54] <Radica1Faith> but whenever i try to set it to monitor mode it says invalid argument
[03:54] <colk> I am wondering why a Intel 3945 wireless card would freeze the install process of ubuntu
[03:54] <BeepAU> gyaresu - http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8875/ thanks
[03:54] <gyaresu> Radica1Faith: Do you know if it's supported by that chip?
[03:54] <Flannel> shockwave1: No.  You don't want the .gz, you want to download the deb file.  ARe you on edgy? or dapper?  and i386?
[03:54] <shockwave1> edgy i386
[03:54] <xelados> Can anyone help me install a mouse cursor theme I got from gnome-look.org?
[03:54] <Radica1Faith> gyaresu: I'm not sure
[03:54] <Linuturk> arrenlex: be right back, restarting X
[03:54] <techie_> arrendlex how to open debmanager, archive manager or other?
[03:54] <xelados> It didn't come with instructions
[03:54] <voraistos> Hey guys. i try to access a LiveCD ubuntu session (with ssh, ssh server and clients were installed) but for some reason it wont work, any idea ?
[03:55] <Flannel> shockwave1: http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/download.pl?arch=i386&file=pool%2Fmultiverse%2Ff%2Fflashplugin-nonfree%2Fflashplugin-nonfree_<IP_ADDRESS>.1ubuntu1~edgy1_i386.deb&md5sum=0faed1cd5a2e09018c4fd49063c4b7c1&arch=i386&type=main  pick a mirror
[03:55] <Radica1Faith> gyaresu: i'm using it right now for my internet, but i want to be able to capture packets
[03:55] <BUMBACL0T> Flannel, why fast32?
[03:55] <techie_> arrendlex the package is now in desktop... just double click it?
[03:55] <B|00d|u5T> can somebody please help me with this i have im at the site tellin me how to do it but im havin trouble
[03:55] <B|00d|u5T> its with repositories
[03:55] <B|00d|u5T> and doing it from a command prompt
[03:55] <gyaresu> BeepAU: Notice how that screams mcp51 :)
[03:55] <arrenlex> techie_: No.
[03:55] <dRk_sHd0w> Flannel, here is my sources.list http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8876
[03:55] <Flannel> BUMBACL0T: FAT32... because if youre using a thumbdrive, you want it to be readable everywhere
[03:55] <gyaresu> Radica1Faith: Some cards can't be set to do that.
[03:56] <dRk_sHd0w> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8876/
[03:56] <techie_> arrenlex that is what I did before, so that was all the problem.
[03:56] <xelados> voraistos: If my understanding of SSH is right, then you wouldn't be able to access a remote computer's RAM all that well. The LiveCD is pure RAM.
[03:56] <arrenlex> techie_: Open your desktop in terminal. Then run sudo dpkg -i <package.deb> from the terminal, where <package.deb> is the name of your package.
[03:56] <|omegabeta|> Question : What is the fastest framebuffer movie lib?   fbdev? directfb? what are the options?
[03:56] <arrenlex> techie_: That was not the problem. It's a perfectly fine way of installing. I just want to see the output.
[03:56] <Radica1Faith> so even though it can scan and connect to wireless networks it can't capture packets?
[03:56] <BeepAU> gyaresu - i'm a total n00b. i had no idea what i was looking for. thankyou.
[03:56] <Flannel> dRk_sHd0w: hmm.  all looks in order there.  `sudo apt-get update` doesn't fix the issue?  do you get any errrs doing that?
[03:56] <gbertek> Is anyone here running x chat and obsidian?
[03:56] <gyaresu> !prefix | Radica1Faith
[03:56] <ubotu> Radica1Faith: If you prefix your lines with the nickname of the person you're talking to, you have a greater chance that that person reads your messages
[03:56] <voraistos> xelados: it should be possible though as ram is read and write
[03:56] <techie_> arrenlex how do i open my desktop in terminal??? please explain
[03:56] <gyaresu> Radica1Faith: Yes.
[03:57] <arrenlex> techie_: Open terminal and type "cd ~/Desktop"
[03:57] <Radica1Faith> gyaresu: thats a shame, so its possible that i can't get air crack to work with it?
[03:57] <Radica1Faith> gyaresu: no matter what
[03:57] <Radica1Faith> !prefix
[03:57] <ubotu> If you prefix your lines with the nickname of the person you're talking to, you have a greater chance that that person reads your messages
[03:57] <shockwave1> flannel. i am getting: only one package installer can run at a time, but have nothing open. when i ran it the first time i got an error so is it maybe still trying to load?
[03:58] <techie_> arrenlex did you see it?
[03:58] <arrenlex> techie_: Did I see what?
[03:58] <gyaresu> Radica1Faith: Yes. I've an intel chipset in this laptop but i bought a netgear wg511(or something like that) for capturing packets.
[03:58] <Flannel> shockwave1: Do you have update-manager running?  or an apt-get running somewhere?
[03:58] <pyrohotdog> Where would I begin configuring a TV plugged in via s-video? (nvidia card)
[03:58] <bruenig> !tvout | pyrohotdog
[03:58] <ubotu> pyrohotdog: For help with enabling the TV-Out, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NvidiaTVOutNewbieEdition (Nvidia cards) or http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Tvout (ATI cards, *untested*)
[03:58] <shockwave1> no no where
[03:59] <Radica1Faith> gyaresu: thankyou very much
[03:59] <shockwave1> i have this and the package installer open
[03:59] <gbertek> Is anyone here running a linux fserve?
[03:59] <shockwave1> flannel: atleast that I can see
I did , what do you see
[03:59] <Flannel> shockwave1: Did you have to give your password to run it?  Open up a terminal, navigate, and `sudo dpkg -i [packagename] `
[03:59] <dRk_sHd0w> Flannel, I get an error when i apt-get update heres the error i get http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/8879
[03:59] <arrenlex> techie_: What?
[03:59] <techie_> arrenlex here is what I see now: ralph@ralph-desktop:~/Desktop$
[04:00] <Flannel> dRk_sHd0w: you need to use sudo.  `sudo apt-get update`
[04:00] <arrenlex> techie_: Type:  ls *virtual*
[04:00] <arrenlex> techie_: What's the output?
[04:00] <AzMoo> Does anybody know how I can install the pdfLib stuff for php5?
[04:00] <shockwave1> flanne: thanks ill try that
no output just what I type on the previous lines
[04:00] <dRk_sHd0w> Flannel, I got the same error
[04:01] <bruenig> dRk_sHd0w, perhaps de is failing try sudo sed 's/de./us./g' -i.backup /etc/apt/sources.list" && sudo apt-get update
[04:01] <arrenlex> techie_: Did you drag the virtualbox package out of the trash?
[04:01] <Flannel> dRk_sHd0w: Looks like you're having network problems.  Change your mirror.
[04:01] <K3nto> !rpm
[04:01] <ubotu> RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[04:01] <techie_> arrenlex. yes i did and put in desktop
[04:01] <arrenlex> techie_: What does "ls *.deb | wc -l" say?
[04:01] <bruenig> dRk_sHd0w, don't put that " in there
[04:01] <K3nto> can you convert rpm to deb?
[04:01] <techie_> arrenlex all i have is the installation package in desktop
[04:02] <arrenlex> !alien | K3nto
[04:02] <dRk_sHd0w> yes
[04:02] <ubotu> K3nto: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu does not use RPM, but !APT, and RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous)
[04:02] <dRk_sHd0w> use alien
[04:02] <techie_> nothing more
[04:02] <arrenlex> techie_: Run my command and tell me what it says.
[04:02] <bruenig> K3nto, better to compile if you can
[04:02] <Flannel> K3nto: help.ubuntu.com/community/RPM/AlienHowto
[04:02] <K3nto> kk
[04:02] <techie_> arrendlex can we do
[04:02] <BUMBACL0T> !lol | Flannel
[04:02] <techie_>  "ls *.deb | wc -l" this command?
[04:02] <Radica1Faith> simple question! Is there a way to paste into my ntfs partition from my linux filesystem? it tells me it is read only, any way to make it not just read only?
[04:02] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about lol - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:03] <bruenig> !ntfs-3g | Radica1Faith
[04:03] <arrenlex> !ntfs-3g | Radica1Faith
[04:03] <ubotu> Radica1Faith: ntfs-3g is is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. It has been extensively tested but is still BETA software, so use it with caution. Installation instructions at http://lunapark6.com/?p=1710 (Dapper) and http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009/ (Edgy)
[04:03] <arrenlex> techie_: Yes.
[04:03] <techie_> arrenlex can we do this in a private room I am very confuse
[04:03] <Linuturk> arrenlex: that didn't work
[04:03] <Radica1Faith> thankyou
[04:03] <techie_> arrenlex it says command not found
[04:03] <arrenlex> techie_: Fine. Join #arrenlex
[04:03] <thynctank> What's up folks.
[04:03] <bruenig> !howdy | thynctank
[04:03] <ubotu> thynctank: Hi! Welcome to #ubuntu!
[04:03] <Linuturk> arrenlex: the switch from "ati" to "radeon" didn't work
[04:03] <arrenlex> Linuturk: Did X start at all?
[04:04] <Linuturk> no
[04:04] <thynctank> ubuntu noob here, trying to figure out exactly how apache2 (version installed by synaptic, so 2.0 something) configs
[04:04] <thynctank> I've been working with 1.x forever
[04:04] <|omegabeta|> using mplayer in the frambeuffer, I have so far figured out the following mplayer -vo svga -ao alsa *moviename*  but its rather sluggish, and I am on a high end pc.. any suggestions?
[04:04] <arrenlex> Linuturk: Do you remember the error message?
[04:04] <Linuturk> arrenlex: the error returned was no screens found
[04:04] <thynctank> dunno where zackly is the best place for specific help
[04:04] <arrenlex> Linuturk: I thought so... could you pastebin /etc/X11/xorg.conf, just for my curiosity?
[04:04] <Linuturk> arrenlex: sure, give me a second
[04:04] <yell0w> guys, how come gmake is not in the repository ?
[04:04] <arrenlex> Linuturk: Other than that, looks like you'll have to use fglrx, yeah. Here's a good guide:
[04:04] <arrenlex> !ati | Linuturk
[04:05] <ubotu> Linuturk: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:05] <bruenig> yell0w, what is gmake
[04:05] <gleamnite> Anyone here using a Wireless NIC with a Marvell Chipset?
[04:05] <colk> yell0w, gmake = the make for linux anyway
[04:05] <voidmage> really stupid question but how do i burn an iso in windows?
[04:05] <gleamnite> Nero
[04:05] <yell0w> bruenig, gnu make i think
[04:05] <bruenig> voidmage, http://www.cdburnerxp.se/
[04:05] <thynctank> or a freeare burner
[04:05] <yell0w> colk, what do you mean ?
[04:05] <Lord_Maynoth> does anyone know how to make it so when I click on a launcher (gksu <program>) I don't have to enter my password?
[04:05] <thynctank> freeware even
[04:05] <bruenig> yell0w, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[04:05] <colk> yell0w, the make in ubuntu is gmake
[04:05] <yell0w> colk,  can i use make where gmake is
[04:06] <colk> yes
[04:06] <yell0w> uhm absolutely sure ?
[04:06] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[04:06] <Flannel> thynctank: Well, apache2.conf holds generic config stuff (serverwide), /sites-available/ has sites (virtual hosts), mods-available has the modules, the -enabled counterparts hold the enabled versions (a symlink, a2enmod or a2ensite to link easily)
[04:06] <colk> just get build-essential using the command that bruenig  said to install it
[04:06] <IndyGunFreak> i love it when people ask for help, then question the answer
[04:06] <bruenig> Lord_Maynoth, you have to add an exception in the sudoers file which I have never been able for some bizarre reason been able to successfully do
[04:06] <Linuturk> arrenlex: http://pastebin.ca/383099
[04:06] <Linuturk> arrenlex: http://pastebin.ca/383099
[04:06] <bruenig> s/been able//
[04:06] <yell0w> colk, i already did that long ago, right now i'm trying to build something that specifically says gmake in the instruction. can i still use make ?
[04:06] <Linuturk> whoops
[04:06] <gleamnite> Why is that IndyGunFreak?
[04:06] <colk> yes
[04:07] <yell0w> colk, is that yes for me ? lol
[04:07] <colk> yes yell0w
[04:07] <Flannel> thynctank: any site specific stuff should be put in the appropriate virtual host file, the modules have two files each, a .conf and a .load, the conf holds config stuff for the module, the .load actually loads the modules themselves
[04:07] <IndyGunFreak> gleamnite: it makes me laugh.. i'm not saying questioning why they should do it, i'm saying, questioning if it will work before even trying it.
[04:07] <thynctank> @Flannel: Thanks, I'd figured the root dir but want to remap it so it's in a folder I have native permissions like ~
[04:07] <gleamnite> IndyGunFreak, can you help me then? ;)
[04:07] <colk> instructions are probly made if you had freebsd
[04:07] <thynctank> also I'm not getting -k restart to work
[04:07] <IndyGunFreak> gleamnite: maybe you misunderstood.
[04:07] <colk> in freebsd that will make a diffrence
[04:07] <yell0w> colk, ok, i'll try that, if you see me go *blip* you know what happen
[04:07] <Flannel> thynctank: Actually, usermod is already enabled.  Just make a public_html folder in your homedir, and you'll be able to get there with /~username/ on your server
[04:07] <IndyGunFreak> gleamnite: i don't have a problem helping people
[04:07] <Linuturk> arrenlex: see anything interesting in there ?
[04:07] <yell0w> colk, =P
[04:07] <gleamnite> IndyGunFreak, no, I understood. I was just playing. I need some help and I can't seem to get anyone's attention.
[04:08] <Flannel> thynctank: er, userdirs module
[04:08] <IndyGunFreak> gleamnite: if i can help, i gladly will.
[04:08] <Lord_Maynoth> bruenig, thanks I will just leave it as is.. ^_^
[04:08] <IndyGunFreak> gleamnite: whats the malfunction?
[04:08] <shockwave1> flannel: even after i restarted I am still getting the same only one installer can run. could it be cause i already installed the gz file from adobe?
[04:08] <gleamnite> IndyGunFreak, I just installed ubuntu on my laptop, since I couldn't find my windows install disks, but now I can't get the laptop's wireless NIC to work.
[04:08] <leafw> any clues on how to put the computer to sleep from the command line?
[04:08] <dRk_sHd0w> Flannel, I have this file called sources.list.lock and it has a number on it could that have something to do with it?
[04:08] <arrenlex> Linuturk: No, it's fine. If that doesn't work for you, going to have to try fglrx.
[04:08] <Flannel> thynctank: otherwise, you'll be editing things in sites-available, changing the DocumentRoot and stuff.
[04:08] <shockwave1> i don't know how to navigate to the package in terminal
[04:09] <thynctank> right
[04:09] <leafw> which command is the sleep button calling?
[04:09] <IndyGunFreak> gleamnite: have you looked at the wireless wiki?.. i know VERY little about getting wireless up and running, sorry.
[04:09] <colk> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported
[04:09] <IndyGunFreak> !wireless | gleamnite
[04:09] <ubotu> gleamnite: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:09] <yell0w> colk, it's building now so it looks like it's good. Thanks! :P
[04:09] <colk> yw
[04:09] <thynctank> I was intending to change DocumentRoot but as I say apache won't restart so it won't reload the conf file
[04:09] <gleamnite> IndyGunFreak, that's okay. I'll have a look =)
[04:09] <bruenig> hmmm, no thanks here
[04:09] <IndyGunFreak> gleamnite: ok...
[04:09] <Flannel> thynctank: What error do you get when trying to restart?
[04:09] <thynctank> let me rerun
[04:10] <gleamnite> IndyGunFreak, I question your solution though. I just don't think it will work... haha ;)
[04:10] <bruenig> leafw, it is using gdm
[04:10] <IndyGunFreak> gleamnite: lol,
[04:10] <thynctank> "no listening sockets available, shutting down"
[04:10] <Flannel> thynctank: what command are you using to restart, at that?
[04:10] <thynctank> the -k option
[04:10] <Flannel> thynctank: -k option for what?
[04:10] <leafw> bruenig:  gdm ? the gnome display manager ?
[04:10] <bruenig> leafw, yep
[04:10] <Flannel> thynctank: `sudo /etc/init.d/apache2 restart` restarts apache
[04:10] <leafw> bruenig: hum I am surprised.
[04:10] <thynctank> should I run native apachectl? I've been running apache2 since that's visible from everywhere
[04:10] <thynctank> hmm
[04:10] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: What solution is being questioned? xD
[04:11] <dRk_sHd0w> Flannel, I ahv a file called sources.list.lock with a number on it could that be the problem it's in the same dir as sources.list?
[04:11] <thynctank> when I try running straight apache2 restart it gives me the options list like I left something out
[04:11] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: it was something you told someone how to do above, then they made a comment like "are you sure"....
[04:11] <theilliniguy> im looking for a keystroke macro ap to use for repeat keystrokes?
[04:11] <leafw> bruenig: but one can't call sudo /etc/init.d/gdm suspend , or can I ?
[04:11] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: Oh, it was to ME? xD *reads*
[04:11] <IndyGunFreak> i think it was you, maybe not.
[04:12] <Flannel> dRk_sHd0w: ARe you editing your sources.list soemwhere?  Maybe the software properties dialog or whatnot?
[04:12] <bruenig> leafw, don't know exactly what it does, just know that it uses gdm which is why shutting down or restarting doesn't require a password
[04:12] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: its not just computers that it cracks me up, occasionally people at work will ask me a question, etc, and they'll say, "thts not right is it"... well if they kenw so freakin much, why did they ask?
[04:12] <Ktron> Here's a question for the channel... I've got X up and running on ubuntu, but if I logout/restart/shutdown the computer, the monitors go black and it seems to hang
[04:12] <Ktron> Any suggestions?
[04:12] <leafw> bruenig: oh I see. That's only for session purposes. What I wondered is the actual acpi or apm command called by whatever is putting the laptop to sleep
[04:12] <bruenig> yeah don't know
[04:12] <thynctank> I have no init.d dir under etc either... hmm... all syaptic's doing, all I've manually installed is rails and gems
[04:12] <Ktron> Also, if I try to switch to a different console it seems to 'hang' too
[04:13] <Flannel> thynctank: oh, are you on edgy?
[04:13] <thynctank> yes
[04:13] <dRk_sHd0w> Flannel, it was when i made the list
[04:14] <Flannel> dRk_sHd0w: did you exit out of it?
[04:14] <Flannel> thynctank: right.  Edgy uses upstart.  I... am unsure how to restart apache with upstart.
[04:14] <thynctank> never heard of upstart
[04:14] <C41R0> hi.., anyone here uses third party program to stable the linux download speed ?
[04:14] <Flannel> !upstart | thynctank
[04:14] <ubotu> thynctank: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model.  For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/
[04:14] <dRk_sHd0w> Flannel, yes
[04:14] <Ktron> Ubuntu seems to hang when I try to shutdown/restart X, any suggestions?
[04:14] <morg> I have a small problem I can't get sound to come from my sound card, I can get it from the built in on my motherboard, and it won't let me change the default sound card
[04:14] <thynctank> cool bot
[04:15] <marx2k> isnt apache in /etc/init.d?
[04:15] <shockwave1> flannel: I dl adobe flash to the desktop. How do i install it there through terminal
[04:15] <thynctank> very impressed with how well ubuntu functions too man, I haven't touched linux in forever
[04:15] <kruncher> hey, is there and alternative/remake of that program called ubuntu center/icenterx/hive? It isnt maintained anymore so I dont really want to use that specifically, but i do want an all in one package that works like it.
[04:15] <thynctank> all the drivers were right straight out of the box
[04:15] <Flannel> shockwave1: sudo dpkg -i [package]
[04:15] <maxxism> good evening folks.   Quick NFS question.  is there a place where ubuntu stores its keys for client machines?  I formatted a client ubuntu box.  and the ubuntu server is denying access now.  the log says "mount request from unknown host <IP_ADDRESS> for /videoz (/videoz)"  The IP hasnt changed so I know my exports file is ok.  I assume its an old hash stopping verification??????
[04:16] <asoldier> for some reason I still can't get mp3s to play
[04:16] <shockwave1> flanne: do i need to be in the desktop directory?
[04:16] <Flannel> marx2k: aparently not in edgy (with upstart)
[04:16] <Flannel> shockwave1: you need to be in the directory of the deb file
[04:16] <DemisM> Is there anyway I can remove the annoying boot-up ubuntu logo with the progress bar?? is that part of menu.lst?
[04:16] <asoldier> You can't remove it, but you can change it.
[04:17] <rbil> Isn't this the way to start apache?  sudo invoke-rc.d apache2 start
[04:17] <arrenlex> DemisM: Yep. Go to menu.lst and remove "splash" from the #kopt= line.
[04:17] <asoldier> No matter what you do, you're going to have a bootup screen for the drivers to load
[04:17] <DemisM> so i can't see kernel parameters and what is loading?
[04:17] <marx2k> I *would* actually like to see my bootup show what its doing and not the Ubuntu screeb
[04:17] <arrenlex> DemisM: Then run sudo update-grub
[04:17] <shockwave1> flannel: how do i get there. i can get to the desktop
[04:17] <DemisM> k thx :)
[04:17] <|omegabeta|> using mplayer in the frambeuffer, I have so far figured out the following mplayer -vo svga -ao alsa *moviename*  but its rather sluggish, and I am on a high end pc.. any suggestions?
[04:17] <marx2k> then again, I reboot my box so infrequently, it really doesnt matter
[04:17] <thynctank> will look into things. Thanks much Flannel, rbil
[04:17] <thynctank> TTFN
[04:17] <Flannel> DemisM: yeah, remove 'splash' and add 'nosplash'
[04:17] <rocca> My ADSL connection needs a login and password (pppoe), but sometimes I move to other places where I use ADSL cable connection without login and password, and sometimes to other places where I use wifi, so my question is : is there a tool that can manage those 3 ways to get connected ?
[04:17] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: Speaking of support nightmares... here is a screenshot of the install I asked him to take. http://konstant.ls.la/uploads/Screenshot.png
[04:18] <asoldier> Windows dosn't show anything, but I prefer Ubuntu's way of actually showing you what the heck is going on instead of going "why is this taking so #$#%ing long to load?"
[04:18] <NZheretic> Any recomendations for a cheap internal 56k soft modem that *works* out of the box with Ubuntu.
[04:18] <Ktron> Anyone know why ubuntu might appear to hang every time I try to logout/switch TTYs/restart/ etc?
[04:18] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: -___-
[04:18] <Flannel> shockwave1: cd Desktop
[04:18] <Flannel> shockwave1: linux is case sensitive
[04:18] <NZheretic> What 56k  chipset works.
[04:18] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: lol
[04:18] <voidmage> say i have a list of packages separated by newlines. Would "cat file |xargs sudo apt-get install" work to install them all?
[04:19] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: that might possibly be the funniest thing i've ever seen
[04:19] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: I don't feel like laughing. ;__;
[04:19] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: well, if it helps any, it has me in hysterics..lmao
[04:19] <IndyGunFreak> dude i'll laugh about that all night.
[04:20] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[04:20] <tonyyarusso> NZheretic: get a serial.  (I have a Conexant, but not ootb)
[04:20] <gleamnite> What's the terminal command to open a program on linux?
[04:20] <BeepAU> i'm trying to follow this - http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205449
[04:20] <theilliniguy>  help - im looking for a keystroke macro ap to use for repeat keystrokes?
[04:20] <maxxism> good evening folks.   Quick NFS question.  is there a place where ubuntu stores its keys for client machines?  I formatted a client ubuntu box.  and the ubuntu server is denying access now.  the server log says "mount request from unknown host <IP_ADDRESS> for /blah (/blah)"  The IP hasnt changed so I know my exports file is ok.  I assume its an old hash stopping verification??????
[04:20] <Flannel> gleamnite: the program name (or something like it, depending on the program)
[04:20] <kelsin> gleamnite: what do you mean by open a program? If the program is called "synaptic" you just type "synaptic" in the term
[04:20] <ghetek> hey guys, i have remote hosting for my website and i use sshfs to mount it to a folder in my media directory. as of now every time that my computer starts up i need to re-enter in the sshfs mount command and put in the directory. I would liket o put it in the auto start applications but then i still need to put in the password. can someone please walk me through how to get ssh-keygen working so that i no longer need a password?
[04:20] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: i'm just amazed that the date version # and titel of the program didn't tell you everything you needed to know..lol
[04:20] <BeepAU> but don't know what to put in $sudo modprobe snd- could someone help me?
[04:20] <NZheretic> tonyyarusso : I'm reparing an older couples PC. New External modem are too expensive.
[04:20] <DemisM> how do i make an xpm.gz file?
[04:20] <gleamnite> Flannel, so, simply the name and nothing else? I'll give it a shot.
[04:21] <arrenlex> IndyGunFreak: Where do these people come from? Sweet jesus...
[04:21] <BUMBACL0T> them sneakers on your feet cost $100 a pop, my peoples making fifty cents a day in sweathops; to make them kicks, so you can look good; you think we open restaurants coz we cook good?; hell no, we aint got no choice, i gotta speak up without me my people have no voice!
[04:21] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: i know man, it kills me..lol
[04:21] <tonyyarusso> NZheretic: $5-10?
[04:21] <Flannel> gleamnite: Yeah, well, if the full name is the command (which it usually is), also... you can try typing a few letters, then hit tab.  Linux has tab complete too
[04:21] <NZheretic> tonyyarusso : I just got a second hand one that smoked itself due to the incorrect PS supplied.
[04:21] <IndyGunFreak> arrenlex: you should save that and post it on how not to post a screenshot posing a problem..lol
[04:21] <NZheretic> tonyyarusso : $64new.
[04:21] <shockwave1> flannel: from the desktop i ran, sudo dpkg -i [flashplugin-nonfree_<IP_ADDRESS>.1ubuntu1~edgy1_i386.deb]  but got an error saying no such file or directory
[04:21] <gleamnite> Flannel, thank you, friend.
[04:21] <Allen3373> what is the makefile (stupid question I'm sure)
[04:22] <duckdown> I have no 'apt-file' command.
[04:22] <duckdown> How do I search for a file?
[04:22] <tonyyarusso> NZheretic: don't buy new.  I have an old serial for the old one's I'm redoing myself.
[04:22] <arrenlex> duckdown: What are you trying to do?
[04:22] <BUMBACL0T> apt-cache search <hang low>
[04:22] <duckdown> arrenlex, install libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2
[04:22] <duckdown> something im trying to install wont work without it
[04:22] <duckdown> and i cant find it
[04:22] <yell0w> hey guys, when i do export VAR=etc where is that info stored ?
[04:22] <Flannel> shockwave1: no brackets
[04:22] <morg> Can somebody help me convince this that my default card is my audigy and not my motherboard built in? It keeps changing the default back.
[04:23] <asoldier> is there a way to convert windows applications to linux/ubuntu compatible applications?
[04:23] <Allen3373> what si the makefile? and how do I use it?
[04:23] <Meheren> what's the cp parameter to make a symlink?
[04:23] <arrenlex> duckdown: What do you need apt-file for?
[04:23] <shockwave1> flannel: ok thanks
[04:23] <NZheretic> tonyyarusso : So did I, but now ( after around 30 computers supplied ) I have run out.
[04:23] <Meheren> 	ive forgotten it
[04:23] <thoreauputic> duckdown: sudo apt-get install apt-file && sudo apt-file-update && apt-file search <whatever>
[04:23] <marx2k> morg: disable your internal sound in BIOS
[04:23] <Ktron> So If I try to logout/restart/shutdown X or even switch to a different TTY, my screen(s) go black and I can't do anything. Any suggestions for what is wrong?
[04:23] <duckdown> arrenlex, to see what package has these files
[04:23] <yell0w> Meheren, ln -s
[04:23] <duckdown> thoreauputic, ill try that thanks
[04:23] <marx2k> !wine | asoldier
[04:23] <ubotu> asoldier: wine is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[04:23] <Meheren> yell0w, oh! hehe thanks..
[04:23] <voidmage> Ktron: tried booting without usplash?
[04:23] <arrenlex> duckdown: Oh. You could install apt-file or use http://packages.ubuntu.com
[04:23] <asoldier> saW33t
[04:23] <Ktron> voidmage: no, I haven't
[04:23] <yell0w> hey guys, when i do export VAR=etc where is that info stored ?
[04:24] <Ktron> voidmage: I'll try to find where to turn that outt
[04:24] <Ktron> voidmage: *off
[04:24] <Allen3373> what is make file???
[04:24] <morg> marx2k: it's not my internal sound it's the integrated sound card that's built into my motherboard. Everytime I try to change the default to my audigy it just changes it back.
[04:24] <voidmage> ktron: at boot time you can hit e over your boot, e over the first thing, remove "ro quiet splash", then hit b
[04:24] <marx2k> morg: yeah just use BIOS to turn off the integrated sound
[04:24] <thoreauputic> ALL4N: a make file is used for compiling and is usually created in the source directory
[04:24] <voidmage> ktron: if that works, you can remove it permanently by deleting "ro quiet splash" from /boot/grub/menu.lst
[04:25] <voidmage> ktron: adding to that, i mean from the kernel you're bootin to
[04:25] <thoreauputic> bah - s/ALL4N / Allen3373
[04:25] <Allen3373> thoreauputic: so, how do I use it?
[04:25] <rbil> morg: you could try blacklisting the kernel driver for the onboard sound. that might work
[04:25] <thoreauputic> Allen3373: what are you trying to do ?
[04:25] <NZheretic> External Modems are selling for $64 NZ ( $44 US ), Old ones are getting rare, can anyone recomend a cheaper current internal soft modem chipset that work in Ubuntu/ Linux in general?
[04:25] <maxxism> NFS question.  is there a place where ubuntu stores its keys for client machines?  I formatted a client ubuntu box.  and the ubuntu server is denying access now.  the server log says "mount request from unknown host <IP_ADDRESS> for /blah (/blah)"  The IP hasnt changed so I know my exports file is ok.  My hosts file still lists the proper computer name and ip for the client.  I assume its an old hash stopping verification??????
[04:25] <gyaresu> Allen3373: hey.
[04:25] <_cerberus_> does anyone know why a vanilla kernel (<IP_ADDRESS>) would fail to boot with the last message being "usbcore: register new interfaces usbhid" and how I could fix it? This kernel has never worked, I only just compiled it
[04:25] <Flannel> !hardware | NZheretic
[04:25] <ubotu> NZheretic: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[04:25] <marx2k> why are external modems so expensive?? ITs not like anyone uses them
[04:26] <shockwave1> flannel: it says it installed, but i still can't see it in about:plugins. Is that normal?
[04:26] <NZheretic> ubotu : thanks
[04:26] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[04:26] <gleamnite> - and a hot bot at that.
[04:26] <_cerberus_> NZheretic, the dse internal modem works well, I'm using it right now, you have to download and compile the driver available from intel but it's no problem
[04:26] <asoldier> ubotu : love me
[04:26] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about love me - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:26] <Ktron> voidmage: you think that will help when I try to logout after its already started?
[04:26] <colk> I have a dell Inspiron E1505 that wont load wireless
[04:26] <asoldier> lmfao
[04:26] <tonyyarusso> !love | asoldier
[04:26] <ubotu> asoldier: Love is like racing across the frozen tundra on a snowmobile which flips over, trapping you underneath. At night, the ice-weasels come.
[04:27] <B|00d|u5T> hat up all
[04:27] <colk> when it tries the wifi light will blink but never go solid
[04:27] <marx2k> colk: integrated wireless laptop?
[04:27] <Ktron> voidmage: Because it boots with the splash and everything correctly initially, and I log in
[04:27] <asoldier> hahaha
[04:27] <asoldier> that's sw33t
[04:27] <Allen3373> thoreauputic: same thing for the last 6 hours. trying to get my wrieless to work. Now I'm trying to use native drivers, and I found instructions, but it just says 'use makefile' to set osme stuff
[04:27] <Ktron> voidmage: it's only when I try to logout after that that shit hits the fan
[04:27] <colk> its a Intel Pro Wireless 3945
[04:27] <Madpilot> tonyyarusso, when did that screwball factoid get added?
[04:27] <Allen3373> gyaresu: hey man!
[04:27] <B|00d|u5T> im adding repositories to get the packages for beryl but the repositories they gave me arn't workin compeltely
[04:27] <colk> and its supported according to the wiki
[04:27] <tonyyarusso> Madpilot: A long time ago.
[04:27] <B|00d|u5T> its only lettin me get some of the files
[04:27] <gyaresu> How's the new install going.
[04:27] <NZheretic> _cerberus_ : cool, Thats what I need to know.
[04:27] <Flannel> shockwave1: do you have the 'flashplugin-nonfree' package installed?
[04:27] <B|00d|u5T> its failn on alot of em
[04:28] <Allen3373> gyaresu: still working on my usb wireless adapter lol
[04:28] <thoreauputic> Allen3373: if you are compiling you need to install build-essential, and for drivers linux-headers-$(uname -r)
[04:28] <B|00d|u5T> u guys got any good repositoriy sites that i can add that will get all the files for beryl down??
[04:28] <marx2k> Allen3373, , compiling is not for noobs, but usually if you're in the source directory the command sequence is "./configure", "make", "sudo install"
[04:28] <gleamnite> If I use NdisWrapper, do I need to decompile the driver.exe or something along those lines?
[04:28] <thoreauputic> !wifi | Allen3373
[04:28] <ubotu> Allen3373: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[04:28] <B|00d|u5T> i finally figured out how to do it but now the repsoitory addys arnt pullin all the beryl info
[04:28] <doctorles> Good evening all. I'm hunting for a good media player for Ubuntu 6.06 that is easy to install; any suggestions?
[04:28] <voidmage> gleamnite: no, you just need to provide the .inf for the network card
[04:28] <tonyyarusso> !players | doctorles
[04:28] <ubotu> doctorles: Audio (Ogg, MP3...) players: Banshee, Beep Media Player, Quod Libet, Rhythmbox, XMMS (GTK/Gnome based) and Amarok, JuK (Qt/KDE based).  Video players: Totem, Xine, MPlayer, VLC, Kaffeine  -  See also !codecs
[04:28] <Allen3373> thoreauputic:I've got those
[04:29] <Flannel> B|00d|u5T: Beryl support in #ubuntu-effects, thanks.
[04:29] <voidmage> docorles: I recommend amarok
[04:29] <maxxism> marx2k isnt it "sudo make install" ???
[04:29] <Allen3373> marx2k: I can use any of those commands (and I learn fast lol)
[04:29] <thoreauputic> Allen3373: have you read the wifi docs?
[04:29] <gleamnite> voidmage, Is that within the .exe though?
[04:29] <_cerberus_> doctorles, xmms it's very similar to winamp, mplayer is also very good, comes with lots of codecs
[04:29] <shockwave1> flannel: yes it is
[04:29] <Flannel> shockwave1: and, you've restarted firefox?
[04:29] <shockwave1> yes
[04:29] <marx2k> the two commands should be seperate
[04:29] <marx2k> although yeah i think its make install
[04:29] <marx2k> duh
[04:29] <voidmage> gleamnite: generally it's a text file included with the installer. if you downloaded the installer from the internet you MIGHT have to install the stuff somewhere with wine
[04:30] <voidmage> just to get the inf extracted
[04:30] <marx2k> I use 'checkinstall' :) so its usually just sudo checkinstall
[04:30] <maxxism> marv2k  it is "make"   and then "sudo make install"
[04:30] <Flannel> shockwave1: I have... no idea.  See if : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash gives any insight on troubleshooting
[04:30] <Allen3373> thoreauputic: yeas, and it wasn't helpful. I think I have the suckiest instal of ubuntu ever.
[04:30] <asdfd> ok, g++ -L ../SDL/lib -lSDL -lSDLmain should work yes?
[04:31] <maxxism> NFS question.  is there a place where ubuntu stores its keys for client machines?  I formatted a client ubuntu box.  and the ubuntu server is denying access now.  the server log says "mount request from unknown host <IP_ADDRESS> for /blah (/blah)"  The IP hasnt changed so I know my exports file is ok.  My hosts file still lists the proper computer name and ip for the client.  I assume its an old hash stopping verification??????
[04:31] <shockwave1> flannel: thanks for your help. it doesn't show up on either of my computer. it's weird
[04:31] <thoreauputic> Allen3373: I assume that your card (wifi) is known to be supported ?
[04:31] <gleamnite> voidmage, or could I install it in Windows and find the files, then transfer them?
[04:31] <rbil> maxxism, should issue a new cert if the old one is no longer there
[04:32] <voidmage> gleamnite: that works too
[04:32] <Allen3373> horeauputic: yes. But the drivers that I need didn't com with ubuntu. So I need to compile them fire.
[04:32] <doctorles> Thanks to all for the replies/suggestions.  You too, bot!
[04:32] <gleamnite> voidmage, Okay, thanks for your help. I'll have another stab at it when I get home.
[04:32] <maxxism> rbil   but where are they stored?  so I can remove it
[04:32] <thoreauputic> Allen3373: your original question about makefiles was not well formed. Are the instructions telling you to edit the makefile?
[04:32] <Allen3373> *first
[04:32] <asdfd> does anyone here have much experience with g++
[04:32] <rbil> maxxism, I can't remember offhand, but in your home directory a dot directory
[04:33] <rbil> let me look
[04:33] <Allen3373> thoreuaputic: it says to ' Install the Windows driver
[04:33] <maxxism> hrmmmm
[04:33] <Tarquinius> hello all
[04:33] <doctorles> I had VLC working on Fedora and liked it; found it hard to install on Ubuntu though
[04:33] <thoreauputic> Allen3373: don't paste :)
[04:33] <doctorles> As I recall, at least
[04:33] <rbil> maxxism: ~/.ssh
[04:33] <gleamnite> Allen3373, which NIC are you trying to install?
[04:33] <marx2k> VLC is in the repositories.. why would you find it hard to install?
[04:34] <kelsin> asdfd: what's your issue (pastebin the errors you're getting)
[04:34] <rbil> maxxism: known_hosts
[04:34] <Tarquinius> any tips on accessing a windows partition?
[04:34] <doctorles> Not hard to get, hard to get working; for me, at least
[04:34] <Allen3373> Thoreauputic: it says to " Install the Windows driver
[04:34] <maxxism> its not listed.
[04:34] <doctorles> Hold on, I'll try to get it again
[04:34] <thoreauputic> heh Allen3373 is a slow learner...
[04:34] <doctorles> I'm running 6.06; maybe the newer Ubuntu works better?
[04:34] <marx2k> oh maybe i always installed it through Automatix
[04:34] <rbil> maxxism: what isn't listed the file or the ssh server?
[04:34] <Allen3373> thoreauputic: it says to set something in the makefile
[04:34] <thoreauputic> Allen3373: you keep getting kicked for flooding
[04:35] <thoreauputic> Allen3373: so don't do whatever was causing the flood :)
[04:35] <Lord_Maynoth> does anyone know what the terminal command to see where a program is installed to is?
[04:35] <maxxism> rbil the server is denying the client.
