[11:36] <toresbe> was middle paste disabled in dapper!?
[11:36] <DBO> klos, can you please paste your xorg.conf to pastebin
[11:36] <klos> linux-restricted-modules-2.6.12-10-k7-nvidia-legacy
[11:37] <ompaul> Fab, install windows first, it will all be good from then on
[11:37] <klos> could this package be the problem
[11:37] <Fab> ompaul: ompaul: ok, the swap also primary?
[11:37] <klos> ?
[11:37] <imbrandon> klos,try "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[11:37] <klos> maybe i shoudl use the ione wiht SMP support
[11:37] <jamesthered> where can I grab an mpeg plugin for totem?
[11:37] <sopido> pax: question: why should i install this xlibs package just for opera if the installation works fine without it (just the conflicts appear)?
[11:37] <sopido> isn't there a way to let apt accept this installation without it?
[11:37] <sopido> just curious..
[11:38] <SimplyFlower> DBO:  i'm back... made the change... rebooted the computer to see what would happen.  still no option screen it just takes longer for lilo to boot unbuntu.
[11:38] <pax> sopido: if you don't care about broken packages, do what you have to do,
[11:38] <klos> should i choose the nvidia or the nv driver ??
[11:38] <imbrandon> sopido, becouse it might be missing some obscure feature that you are not noticing
[11:38] <kbrooks> sopido: its just a package. install it
[11:38] <imbrandon> klos, i use nvidia
[11:38] <DBO> SimplyFlower, ah ha, so I now understand the problem... but as for a solution, I have but one stupid workaround to try =P
[11:39] <DBO> SimplyFlower, when you get to that blank screen where you are waiting, press the down arrow twice then hit enter
[11:39] <sopido> sure i will install but actually i really want to know if there is a way to accept this broken dependency .. just out of interest.. is there some wiki/faq about this?
[11:39] <Fab> ompaul: should I make the paritions with fdisk or with the windows setup it's self?
[11:39] <imbrandon> grub > lilo hehehe
[11:39] <DBO> Fab, use the windows setup itself
[11:40] <Fab> DBO: oke
[11:40] <jamesthered> or does anyone have a URL to a guide to getting totem to play movies (especially mpegs)?
[11:40] <Fab> DBO: I just don't want that mess I had before
[11:40] <pax> lilo is a thing of the past, altho stitch is still around
[11:40] <DBO> !tell jamesthered abour restricted
[11:40] <Fab> DBO: that's why I'm so unsure ^^
[11:40] <DBO> !tell jamesthered abour restrictedformats
[11:40] <SimplyFlower> DBO:  ok...  there isn't a blank screen though... but where it says lilo at the bottom i will try it... brb
[11:40] <DBO> hmmm, doesnt work
[11:41] <DBO> !restricted
[11:41] <ubotu> it has been said that restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[11:41] <DBO> there you go jamesthered
[11:41] <imbrandon> dbo you mistyped "about"
[11:41] <jamesthered> DBO, thanks.
[11:41] <imbrandon> thats why
[11:41] <DBO> imbrandon, wow Im dumb
[11:41] <klos> imbrandon, my xorg.conf i the origianl one but there seems to be a drive conflict
[11:41] <Fab> okay, well
[11:41] <klos> should i use the smp package
[11:41] <Fab> thank you guys for your help
[11:42] <DBO> anytime Fab
[11:42] <Fab> have a pleasant day :)
[11:42] <Fab> cu

[11:43] <klos> yea
[11:43] <imbrandon> nvidia-legacy? why not nvidia-glx ?
[11:44] <DBO> klos, linux-restricted-modules-`uname -r`-nvidia-legacy will get you what you want
[11:44] <klos> there is no nvidia-glx
[11:44] <imbrandon> umm sure there is , i'm running it as we speak

[11:44] <imbrandon> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx
[11:44] <Nermal>  question: if I have previously been sent CDs from ubuntu, does anyone know if I'll be automatically sent the next release when it's out?
[11:44] <klos> http://www.ublug.org/ubuntu/twinview/twinview-howto-breezy.html

[11:48] <newstnih> i tried adding it and it won't show the folder for the computer
[11:48] <DBO> newstnih, you mean for samba?

[11:50] <klos> 2.6.12-10-k7

[11:55] <newstnih> after i retyped new password
[11:55] <PuMpErNiCkLe> newbie_unix: If you have teh 'build-essential' package installed, you've cd'ed to the right directory, and you've run ./configure, just run make.
[11:55] <ompaul> newbie_unix, before you do >>sudo apt-get install build-essential<< run the command between the arrows
[11:55] <newstnih> i didn't use sudo
[11:55] <newstnih> old password i was supposed to leave blank right?
[11:55] <DBO> yes
[11:55] <newstnih> k well i didn't use sudo and left old password blank
[11:55] <paines> ompaul: read both readme's in there. but didn't found the information
[11:55] <SimplyFlower> DBO:  i'm back.  tried typing but nothing happened.  didn't have any effect at all.
[11:55] <ompaul> paines, hmm more digging needed
[11:56] <newbie_unix> where can i get the build essential package?
[11:56] <klos> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12918
[11:56] <DBO> SimplyFlower, ok, now I really am out of ideas, I dont know lilo at all, perhaps if you ask ompaul
[11:56] <klos> please someone take a look
[11:56] <PuMpErNiCkLe> newbie_unix: From the repository.  sudo apt-get install build-essential
[11:56] <DBO> newstnih, are you logged in as root?
[11:56] <newstnih> yes
[11:56] <newbie_unix> thanx for the help...
[11:56] <PuMpErNiCkLe> newbie_unix: np :)
[11:56] <DBO> newstnih, it wont work if you are using root...

[11:59] <sysios> hi
[11:59] <dimo> hi everybody i want some help about configuring my wireless card to connect to a WPA-protected  Wireless Network. I was following one of the howTO's on ubuntu Forums but it didn't work.....Any Help?
[11:59] <DBO> newstnih, yes, but we want to give a fake shell
[11:59] <sysios>  have question
[11:59] <DBO> !ask
[11:59] <ubotu> Just ask. Questions in the channel should be specific, informative, complete, concise and on-topic. Information like hardware make, model, outputs of commands that you used pasted onto http://paste.ubuntulinux.nl is important.
[11:59] <sysios> i'm going to boot the ubuntu livecd from harddisk
[11:59] <sysios> what i must do?
[12:00] <skpl_> can smoeone tell me what vmware, and what it is used for?
[12:00] <DBO> erm, install ubuntu normally if you want to boot from hard disk...
[12:00] <sysios> DBO, but i not have a space
[12:00] <sysios> and i going to boot
[12:00] <imbrandon> vmware is like a virtual computer
[12:00] <PuMpErNiCkLe> sysios: You can run the images in qemu, or burn them to disk and run them from cd.  Either works, I recommend the cd.
[12:00] <sysios> this is possible?
[12:00] <Nermal> skpl_: it's a virtual machine which can be primarily used to run windows under linux
[12:00] <Nermal> or the other way round
[12:00] <DBO> sysfault, you can boot from CD if you dont have space on your hard drive.  but if you dont have space on your hard drive, I dont see how you are goign to install the live boot on the hard drive...
[12:01] <Nermal> basically a virtual x86 computer with it's own bios and everything
[12:01] <klos> anyone with an idea whats wrong with my xorg.conf
[12:01] <klos> ?
[12:01] <DBO> klos, did you paste it in pastebin?
[12:01] <klos> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/12918
[12:01] <klos> yea
[12:01] <DBO> ok, lemme go take a gander
[12:01] <klos> thx
[12:01] <newstnih> DBO: Failed to find entry for user remsamba.
[12:02] <zzz_> SKPL,you can run different OSs under linux.Such as ,linux,windows,bsd,sun os,etc
[12:02] <jamesthered> when you're installing something, how do you compile from source?
[12:02] <sysios> slax have a funciotn to boot from harddisk
[12:02] <sysios> ubuntu no?
[12:02] <PuMpErNiCkLe> klos: You should comment out the "GLcore" module - it doesn't work with the nvidia module, last I checked.
[12:02] <klos> DBO, i do run with this configuration right now but the second monitor is dark
[12:02] <klos> ok
[12:03] <DBO> klos, no idea, sorry...
[12:03] <sysios> its possible ? to boot livecd from hardisk?
[12:03] <sysios> who have any ideas?
[12:03] <DBO> newstnih, when does it give that error?
[12:03] <newstnih> after sudo smbpasswd remsamba
[12:04] <_jim_> if you want to boot live cd from hdd , why u dont install from install cd
[12:04] <PuMpErNiCkLe> jamesthered: Install the 'build-essential', open a terminal, cd to the directory that has the source, and run './configure' 'make' and 'sudo make install'.  That's the most common way.
[12:04] <DBO> newstnih, cat /etc/passwd | tail -1
[12:04] <PuMpErNiCkLe> *build-essential package
[12:04] <newstnih> ?
[12:04] <RobyX> How do I find my LAN ip using linux? I need to forward some ports right now.
[12:04] <jamesthered> PuMpErNiCkLe, I've got build-essential, and thanks
[12:04] <sysios> hey why ubuntu dont have gcc??
[12:04] <newstnih> remsamba:x:1003:100::/home/remsamba:/bin/false
[12:04] <klos> no change
[12:04] <PuMpErNiCkLe> jamesthered: np :)

[12:05] <osfameron> is there a way to embed .3gp documents to be played in a Linux browser?
[12:05] <ompaul> paines, thanks to my ISP https://wiki.ubuntu.com/USplashCustomizationHowto
[12:05] <Nermal> sysios: apt-get install gvv
[12:05] <Nermal> erm

[12:05] <[Leo] > hi all

[12:06] <SimplyFlower> ompaul, any ideas how i can get lilo to show the option screen so i can boot from either ubuntu or windowsXP?
[12:06] <Nermal> osfameron: yeah.. mplayerplug-in
[12:06] <ompaul> SimplyFlower,  lilo must run  /sbin/lilo after you create the lilo.conf the way you want
[12:06] <Nermal> you might need w32codecs installed as weell
[12:06] <osfameron> Nermal: eeeek!  I think mplayer crashes everything... or was that totem?
[12:07] <newstnih> ?
[12:07] <osfameron> Nermal: thanks, I'll check it out
[12:07] <Nermal> dunno.. totem can if you use totem-xine
[12:07] <ompaul> SimplyFlower, it is so long since I used it I can't remember much about it
[12:07] <Nermal> the totem mozilla / firefox plugin is shite
[12:07] <Nermal> I usually manually remove it
[12:07] <ompaul> Nermal, we say rubbish
[12:07] <SimplyFlower> ompaul, i ran lilo after changing the lilo.conf.  but i still don't get the option screen when i reboot.
[12:07] <Nermal> I say shite. deal.
[12:07] <ompaul> no deal
[12:08] <Nermal> oh don't get all pissy.. I'm helping people out here
[12:08] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Nermal: ompaul is a channel op...
[12:08] <Nermal> and ?
[12:08] <ompaul> Im not getting anything - we don't do language that is all, thanks
[12:08] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Nermal: Well, that was my point in its entirety, really.
[12:08] <DBO> newstnih, im looking, hold up...
[12:08] <newstnih> okay
[12:09] <Nermal> ompaul: /ignore nermal*!*@*  Can anyone help me get an HP Officejet scanner working in Dapper? Or even in Breezy? It is a printer / scanner combo, the printer works fine. Any takers?
[12:09] <Hattori> is there a way to resize monitor on kde? can't see some portion on the lower side of the monitor. how to move/resize monitor screen?
[12:09] <DBO> newstnih, doh, dumb me, I forgot to give you the -a "sudo smbpasswd -a remsamba"
[12:10] <PuMpErNiCkLe> harsh
[12:10] <Seveas> PuMpErNiCkLe, call it a cooling down period
[12:10] <newstnih> okay added
[12:10] <sysios> ok bye
[12:10] <Seveas> there's no room for heated egos or foul language in here
[12:10] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Seveas: ofc :)
[12:11] <Seveas> ofc?
[12:11] <DBO> newstnih, now use "sudo smbpasswd remsamba" to change the password (if it didnt prompt you to do it already)
[12:11] <newstnih> changed already
[12:11] <Beanbag> learn how to ban people properly dear.. hostmask / etc
[12:11] <PuMpErNiCkLe> Seveas: of course
[12:11] <Beanbag> you want /ban<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:11] <Beanbag> to ban me
[12:12] <Beanbag> did you win ops in a lottery or what ?
[12:12] <DBO> newstnih, ok, you should be able to log in with remsamba as the user and the password you just made
[12:12] <Seveas> ban<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[12:12] <N3rmal> now you need to account for additional hosts
[12:12] <PuMpErNiCkLe> *sigh*
[12:12] <Seveas> see, that's why we ban
[12:12] <PuMpErNiCkLe> some people...
[12:13] <newstnih> brb
[12:13] <Hattori> is there a way to resize monitor on kde? can't see some portion on the lower side of the monitor. how to move/resize monitor screen?

[12:25] <er4z0r> re
[12:25] <DBO> jamesthered, /etc/apt/sources.list -> pastebin
[12:25] <jamesthered> DBO: can you give that to me again in newbie dummy-talk?
[12:25] <imbrandon> !pastebin
[12:25] <ubotu> methinks pastebin is http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269
[12:25] <DBO> sure
[12:26] <IceTox> imbrandon, do I have to HUP the gdm then to make it work?
[12:26] <DBO> jamesthered, "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" highlight EVERYTHING, press ctrl+c, go to http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org, paste it in the text window, click send, and give me the new link
[12:26] <imbrandon> IceTox, probbly
[12:26] <IceTox> thanks a lot imbrandon :-) Very good helping with that ubuntu pasting too :-) Thanks a lot! =)
[12:26] <DBO> jamesthered, is newbie dummy-talk your patent or can I steal that? =P
[12:27] <imbrandon> np IceTox
[12:27] <jamesthered> DBO it's actually an adapted quote from the TV show Firefly
[12:27] <newstnih> DBO, you know how u said to use \\ipofsambamachine\sharename to get my files, is there some way i can include the username/password in that so i don't have to type it in?
[12:27] <jamesthered> DBO so steal away
[12:27] <DBO> newstnih, no
[12:27] <newstnih> :( ok
[12:27] <DBO> newstnih, you can have windows remember the password an username however
[12:28] <alleyoopster> you can use automatix to install the mplayer firefox plugin
[12:28] <DBO> !automatix
[12:28] <ubotu> well, automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, such as !easyubuntu.
[12:28] <newstnih> add, i added it to my network places and it didn't ask me for password
[12:28] <alleyoopster> wget http://beerorkid.com/automatix/automatix_5.8-1_i386.deb
[12:28] <alleyoopster> sudo dpkg -i automatix_5.8-1_i386.deb
[12:28] <newstnih> odd*
[12:28] <DBO> do not recommend automatix please!
[12:28] <imbrandon> no automatic
[12:28] <imbrandon> no automatix
[12:29] <ompaul> !automatix
[12:29] <ubotu> hmm... automatix is unsafe, it overwrites configuration files, and does things like "echo -e 'y\nY\n'" that are considered risky. Please do not use it. There are alternative applications, such as !easyubuntu.
[12:29] <imbrandon> umm just as easy to "apt-get install mozilla-mplayer"
[12:29] <pax> don't recommand any other script either
[12:30] <IceTox> imbrandon, you don't happend to know how to add new screen resolutions too do you? I want to have a bigger resolution then 1280x1024 :S And is there a way to find out how big the graphical card accepts the resolution to be? :-)
[12:30] <jamesthered> apt-get is not working for me for some reason
[12:30] <jamesthered> doesn't find the packages
[12:30] <ompaul> !resolution
[12:30] <ubotu> it has been said that resolution is at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[12:30] <ompaul> jamesthered, have you put in universe and multiverse?
[12:30] <IceTox> I'll have a look ompaul :-)
[12:30] <jamesthered> ompaul, nope
[12:30] <imbrandon> IceTox, i dont know how to do it other than "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" but i know thats not the best way
[12:30] <jamesthered> ompaul, what are they?
[12:30] <imbrandon> but it does work
[12:31] <IceTox> sure thing imbrandon.. Tried that :-)
[12:31] <ompaul> jamesthered, the reason you can't see lots of software :-)
[12:31] <alleyoopster> have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[12:31] <jamesthered> ompaul, thanks, i'll go have a look
[12:31] <ompaul> jamesthered, check out the message from the bot
[12:32] <imbrandon> ummm who is alleyoopster talking to?
[12:32] <DBO> no idea...
[12:32] <alleyoopster> sorry, to jamesthered
[12:32] <IceTox> imbrandon, do you know where I can find out which video driver I've got then?
[12:32] <soundray> Please have a look at my issue. I have a program (hidd) that looks for some device files (/dev/uinput, /dev/input/uinput), doesn't find them and bails out. What can I do?
[12:32] <jamesthered> alleyoopster, no problem
[12:32] <IceTox> lspci?
[12:32] <imbrandon> what does restricted formats have to do with apt-get not working ;)
[12:32] <klos> DBO, you found any failure ?????
[12:33] <alleyoopster> it gives you info on setting up repos
[12:33] <DBO> klos, nope, no idea what your problem is, im not an xserver person.  90% of what I do is on boxes that dont even run X
[12:33] <imbrandon> IceTox, lspci will give you the card, not the driver, the driver should be listed in the xorg.conf
[12:33] <klos> ok
[12:33] <klos> thx
[12:33] <klos> i postetd in the forum
[12:34] <imbrandon> the one you have loaded atleaste
[12:35] <DBO> im out
[12:35] <DBO> later guys
[12:35] <imbrandon> l8tr
[12:35] <imbrandon> IceTox, you'll have something like ( Driver          "i810" ) under the device that is your vid card in xorg.conf
[12:35] <RobyX> Why does my mouse cursor randomly freeze? my keyboard still works and i've restarted a few times
[12:35] <RobyX> I have to replug it for it to work again
[12:36] <osfameron> ooo, I used to get that
[12:36] <imbrandon> bad mouse? lol dunno
[12:36] <osfameron> nope, ubuntu bug
[12:36] <osfameron> with usb ouse
[12:36] <imbrandon> ahh
[12:36] <osfameron> I tried 3 separate mice
[12:36] <RobyX> Oh
[12:36] <osfameron> I think using a ps/2 mouse is a workaround (I use touchpad on laptop, which is also badly configured...)
[12:37] <osfameron> sometimes I hate using linux
[12:37] <RobyX> Well I better get that at the store tomorrow.
[12:37] <IceTox> I thin I've got it now imbrandon.. I'm gonna run a restart at gdm and see :-)
[12:37] <imbrandon> good luck ;)
[12:38] <soundray> I need a gentle introduction to udev. Can you help?
[12:39] <imbrandon> brb , smoke break
[12:39] <imbrandon> soundray, and if you were asking me  i have no clue about udev ;)
[12:39] <ompaul> soundray, the simplest thing there is to read the guy who said he was killing off devfs on the kernel mailing list in 2003 :-) - it does it all dynamically
[12:40] <ompaul> soundray, I have stuff on atm if you can wait a while I'll come back to it
[12:40] <soundray> Sure -- I'll hang around.
[12:41] <soundray> Thanks ompaul
[12:41] <markitoxs_> hello, does anyone know, how to desactivate alt+click to move windows? I've looked in keybindings menu and can't find it..
[12:41] <soundray> markitoxs_: system-prefs-windows
[12:42] <markitoxs_> ouch soundray thx, could never figure it was there
[12:42] <markitoxs_> thx
[12:42] <markitoxs_> cheers
[12:42] <leeyee> Hi guys
[12:43] <leeyee> I'd like to compile a custom vanilla kernel
[12:43] <soundray> !kernelcompile
[12:43] <ubotu> You will probably find info about this at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCompileHowto
[12:43] <Yumi_mato> Hi, i can't install ubuntu dapper beta on a ibook g3 500 mhz.
[12:43] <leeyee> But i don't know how to find the old .config file of my currently using kernel
[12:44] <soundray> leeyee: look in /boot/
[12:44] <IceTox> imbrandon, didn't get that resolution any higher, but the scroll works just fine now :-) thanks a lot
[12:44] <Yumi_mato> When i boot from CD the screen gets blank even booting with live video=ofxx, don't remember well the command line
[12:44] <imbrandon> IceTox,np ;)
[12:44] <leeyee> You mean this:
[12:44] <imbrandon> sorry couldent help more
[12:44] <leeyee> config-2.6.12-10-686 ?
[12:45] <soundray> leeyee: exactly
[12:45] <leeyee> what's this? I recall when i was using fedora, I can get .config file from /usr/src
[12:45] <leeyee> and then i can do make oldconfig
[12:45] <leeyee> How can i do this on ubuntu?
[12:46] <soundray> leeyee: there are different ways you can go about this. Best if you look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCompileHowto
[12:46] <soundray> for starters
[12:46] <leeyee> well, thank you
[12:46] <leeyee> I have found it
[12:47] <leeyee> I'm reading, brb
[12:47] <leeyee> thanks again!
[12:47] <osfameron> hmmm, CrossoverOffice sounds like it might be worth the $40
[12:47] <imbrandon> osfameron, it is, i use it every day
[12:48] <imbrandon> i'm one of the "advocates" for it and can send you a tryal if you like
[12:48] <osfameron> imbrandon: I'm thinking of basically IE, Flash player, and possibly Excel
[12:48] <cpl-tnt900> Can any one help me setup a wireless network with D-Link DWL650+ ,Linksys WRT54G Router ?
[12:48] <osfameron> imbrandon: ooo, yes, that sounds helpful, I'll /query you, thanks
[12:48] <imbrandon> osfameron, yup would work perfect
[12:50] <imbrandon> one sec osfameron lemme find the loki installer
[12:52] <imbrandon> osfameron, run that from a USER account ( i.e. NOT sudo )
[12:52] <leeyee> well, what's the make-kgkg meaning?
[12:52] <leeyee> I can't find this command in my system
[12:53] <cirqueduphreak> sorry i have a bad connection kept dc-ing
[12:53] <IceTox> Where do I enable the support for wester union keyboards? I can't write the three latest charecters that we have included in the norwegian language. I used to.
[12:56] <lockhead> IceTox, doubt it's your keyboard, think it's your char encoding
[12:57] <soundray> leeyee: you are either spelling it wrong (make-kpkg) or you need a package called kernel-package
[12:57] <Apostle^> their might be bugs on some of you mugs but their aint no bugs on me
[12:57] <FearMoth> when I add a new ext3 drive to my /etc/fstab, what do I put for the options, dump and pass columns if I'm going to be using it as my new /home drive?
[12:57] <Apostle^> /dev/sda3       /home           ext3    defaults        0       2
[12:57] <leeyee> I just copyed the config file from /boot to the current folder
[12:57] <leeyee> I'm compiling vanilla kernel downloaded from the kernel.org
[12:58] <FearMoth> Apostle^ what's the 2 mean in pass column?
[12:58] <Apostle^> not sure lol
[12:58] <leeyee> If there are many differences between the ubuntu source and it?
[12:59] <Apostle^> leeyee: why are you configging your own kernel
[12:59] <cpl-tnt900> How can i define a wireless network adapter in laptop under ubunto ?
[12:59] <leeyee> just for fun
[12:59] <leeyee> hehe....
[12:59] <leeyee> I want to get a more custom kernel for my laptop
[12:59] <FearMoth> thanks
[12:59] <leeyee> if it won't work, i can also use the current one
[01:00] <cpl-tnt900> leeyee do u know how can i define a wireless network under ubunto ?
[01:00] <leeyee> hmmm...I'm not sure
[01:00] <leeyee> i have no wireless card on my laptop
[01:00] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: what do you mean by "define"?
[01:01] <leeyee> although it's running Pentium M chip
[01:01] <IceTox> lockhead where do I change my character set then? :-)
[01:01] <cpl-tnt900> i mean , from the moment i connect the pcmcia card...
[01:01] <vx> how do i change my screen resolution, it seems to have vchanged itself to 600x? on its own
[01:01] <cpl-tnt900> i already have a DHCP server...
[01:01] <cpl-tnt900> just need to get the network running and im new to ubunto so ... i ask...
[01:01] <axisme> cpl-tnt900, has ubuntu detected it?
[01:02] <cpl-tnt900> i think so ... i can see a network icon on the taskbar .. .but it has an alert sign on it
[01:02] <axisme> you using dapper drake or breezy?
[01:03] <cpl-tnt900> axisme  u refer me ?
[01:03] <axisme> yes
[01:03] <aaron> what is the url for multiverse for breezy?
[01:03] <cpl-tnt900> i use none ... i told ya i just connected the card..
[01:03] <aaron> i'm trying to get java-package
[01:03] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: go to System-Administration-Networking and see if there's a net device that corresponds to the card.
[01:03] <_mod> can some one help me on mpeg video playback?
[01:04] <cpl-tnt900> yes there is
[01:04] <ivoks> _mod: what's the problem?
[01:04] <RobyX> aaron read this http://www.totse.com/bbs/Forum11/HTML/017401.html
[01:04] <cpl-tnt900> i can see Wireless Connection wlan0 is active
[01:04] <_mod> i cant play any mpeg s or mp3 files...
[01:04] <IceTox> aaron If you need java, you could always try blackdown. YOu can get that using the add application feauture on the menu.
[01:04] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: so, can you ping your router?
[01:04] <ivoks> _mod: what ubuntu version? 5.10?
[01:04] <_mod> i installed every mpeg package with adept that i could find
[01:04] <_mod> yes... youre right
[01:05] <axisme> mod, install vlc
[01:05] <cpl-tnt900> soundray : instructions will be usefull ... since im new to the evirement.
[01:05] <aaron> RobyX: ahh found it
[01:05] <aaron> had to click add to show more repos'
[01:05] <lockhead> IceTox, dunno, when you find out let me know
[01:05] <_mod> but vlc is only a workaround isnt it... wanna install that needed codec
[01:05] <IceTox> *sighs*
[01:05] <lockhead> utf8 sucks if you ask me
[01:05] <cpl-tnt900> ?
[01:05] <ivoks> _mod: install gstreamer0.8-plugins-multiverse
[01:06] <aaron> IceTox: i need the latest version for dev'ing
[01:06] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: the device being active *probably* means that your wireless card is already working.
[01:06] <vx> how do i change my screen resolution in ubuntu?
[01:06] <imbrandon> !resolution
[01:06] <ubotu> [resolution]  at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[01:06] <IceTox> Does anyone else know how to change the character setting so I can use the 3 extra norwegian characters?
[01:06] <Tidus> !locale
[01:06] <ubotu> Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, Tidus
[01:06] <Tidus> gah...
[01:07] <Tidus> IceTox: check your locale settings, and check your keyboard map
[01:07] <lockhead> IceTox, dosnt work at all?
[01:07] <cpl-tnt900> <soundray : yeah i know but i cant surf or do anything wireless...
[01:07] <vx> thanks
[01:07] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: you could confirm this by opening a terminal (Alt-F2, enter 'gnome-terminal') and running 'ping <IP_ADDRESS>' (replacing the actual IP address of your router)
[01:07] <JDahl> I am trying to setup a samba server under Dapper/Gnome. Browsing etc. works fine, but I can't find a place to configure anything wrt. passwords (which I want)...
[01:07] <cpl-tnt900> soundray and when i try ping in the terminal to <IP_ADDRESS> ( this is my router ) i get from <IP_ADDRESS> icmp_seq=x Destination host unreachable
[01:08] <ivoks> JDahl: there is no gui app for that yet
[01:08] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: hmm, but apparently your machine has been assigned the .110 address via DHCP (unless you've set it yourself)
[01:08] <JDahl> ivoks, I need to use smbadduser first, and then manually edit /etc/samba/smb.conf?
[01:09] <cpl-tnt900> soundray : i asigned it manually !
[01:09] <ivoks> JDahl: smbpasswd -a and yes, manually edit file
[01:09] <cpl-tnt900> should i move dhcp ?
[01:09] <rony> Are there any community repo's for dappa ?
[01:09] <s-toned> An usbstick plugged in is automounted at /media/usbstick, and /media/sda1. How can I change this? ("rgrep -i usbstick /etc" didn't find anything)
[01:09] <JDahl> ivoks, ok... thanks!
[01:09] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: only if you have a DHCP server running on the router.
[01:10] <cpl-tnt900> i have ...
[01:10] <IceTox> lockhead everything works just fine, but I can't use the three last characters in the norwegian alphabeth, even though, they're here at my keyboard :-) I'll check it out Tidus
[01:10] <ivoks> _mod: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats
[01:10] <cpl-tnt900> soundray : any other suggestion ?
[01:10] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: where did you configure the IP address for wlan0 - in the dialog or in the file directly?
[01:10] <cpl-tnt900> soundray : i defined in the Network Setting
[01:10] <lockhead>
[01:11] <lockhead> ops
[01:11] <lockhead> *fell asleep on my keys*
[01:11] <IceTox> :-)
[01:11] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: in that case, I suggest you configure DHCP and see what happens.
[01:11] <soundray> lockhead: are we boring you? ;)
[01:12] <IceTox> Well it used to work, but I was high on weed while installing last time, so I can't remember what I did to make it work :P
[01:12] <cpl-tnt900> i did now i get a No entrance Sign on the network icon taskbar... doesnt seemed to helo
[01:12] <codecaine_> anybody got a good tutorial site for linux api?
[01:12] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: did you give it the ESSID that your router uses?
[01:13] <IceTox> might just have found it lockhead.. There was a language selector on the administrations menu.. There was option to enebale norwegian settings for writing.. I'll restart GDM and check it out :-)
[01:13] <lockhead> soundray, no, lack of sleep. havent slept more than 5h the last 3 nights, added together
[01:14] <soundray> lockhead: new baby?
[01:14] <rony> Are there any community repo's for dappa ?
[01:14] <cpl-tnt900> ESSID  ?
[01:14] <cpl-tnt900> dunno ?
[01:14] <JDahl> codecaine, there are a few good unix programming books, if that's what you had in mind (Steven's "Advanced Unix Programming" to mention one - you could look for that one + related books at amazon)
[01:14] <leeyee> soundray: hi, how can i know which hardware are running on my lappy?
[01:14] <murrayc> How can I report a launchpad/malone bug?
[01:14] <ivoks> rony: what is dappa?
[01:15] <lockhead> soundray, no, new project in c
[01:15] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: every wireless network has an identifier (ESSID). With a Linksys router, it is "linksys" by default. You have to tell ubuntu your ESSID in the networking dialog.
[01:15] <rony> dapper sorry
[01:15] <rony> Are there any community repo's for dapper
[01:17] <soundray> leeyee: are you asking so you can configure your kernel correctly?
[01:18] <leeyee> actually, just to configure it properly
[01:18] <cpl-tnt900> <soundray : yes i defined it ...
[01:18] <soundray> leeyee: can I ask why you want to compile a kernel anyway?
[01:19] <leeyee> I'd like to unselect as many as unneeded drivers
[01:19] <leeyee> To be honest, just for fun
[01:19] <leeyee> the current kernel works fine
[01:19] <leeyee> but i just installed it with apt-get
[01:20] <leeyee> I want a custom one, although it might not work fine.
[01:20] <leeyee> But i think i can get it working properly some day
[01:20] <soundray> leeyee: a lsmod with your current kernel should show you the names of the modules you need.
[01:20] <cpl-tnt900> soundray : apprantrly there was a problem in the pcmcia ... now the power light is on in the device...
[01:21] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: so you're making headway?
[01:21] <cpl-tnt900> i pressed activate on the wireless network and now it doing: Activating interface wlan0
[01:21] <cpl-tnt900> i think so ...
[01:21] <cpl-tnt900> now the interface is active ...
[01:21] <cpl-tnt900> chk pings ?
[01:21] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: try the ping now
[01:22] <kingspawn> !kernelcompile
[01:22] <ubotu> You will probably find info about this at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCompileHowto
[01:22] <cpl-tnt900> still unreachable
[01:22] <kingspawn> leeyee^^^
[01:22] <soundray> kingspawn: we're past that stage already.
[01:22] <kingspawn> soundray: oh, sorry
[01:22] <kingspawn> just barging in as usual
[01:22] <soundray> kingspawn: so rude, ts ts ;)
[01:23] <kingspawn> =)
[01:23] <leeyee> Hi kingspawn, what are you meaning for?
[01:24] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: is your router on and within wireless range?
[01:25] <kingspawn> leeyee: I dont know, whats the problem?
[01:25] <lrojas> what is suposed to be the standard and better way to do sound? oss or alsa ?
[01:25] <leeyee> I'm trying to compile my own kernel
[01:25] <leeyee> hehe....
[01:25] <soundray> lrojas: alsa is the only way these days. OSS is supported via a compatibility module.
[01:25] <PuMpErNiCkLe> lrojas: alsa
[01:26] <lrojas> thanks guys
[01:26] <minuuul> hello
[01:26] <cpl-tnt900> soundray : yes , im talking to from the wireless on an other system with winxp
[01:26] <ivoks> leeyee: and, how's it going?
[01:26] <leeyee> not bad
[01:26] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: are you using wep or wpa?
[01:27] <ivoks> leeyee: using ubuntu kernel source or vanilla source?
[01:27] <leeyee> I'm still doing menuconfig
[01:27] <cpl-tnt900> soundray : none ...
[01:27] <leeyee> vanilla
[01:27] <leeyee> <IP_ADDRESS>
[01:27] <ivoks> hm... ok
[01:27] <cpl-tnt900> soundray : using open wireless... for now...
[01:27] <ivoks> leeyee: any special need for that version?
[01:28] <cpl-tnt900> soundray : every time i get the device activated i get an exclamation mark in the taskbar
[01:28] <leeyee> nope
[01:28] <leeyee> I know few of the kernel actually, I just want a try
[01:28] <minuuul> hello, are anyone from indonesia??
[01:28] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: you could run 'tail -f /var/log/syslog' to see any error messages that come up during the process.
[01:29] <leeyee> ivoks: have you ever tried this?
[01:29] <ivoks> leeyee: compiling my own kernel? :)
[01:29] <ivoks> leeyee: i was compiling it since '97... but stoped a year ago... there is no real use of that these days...
[01:30] <soundray> ivoks: I'm with you on that one
[01:30] <leeyee> hehe...I have just been using linux since mid-July 2005
[01:30] <ivoks> distributions provide really good kernels now
[01:30] <kingspawn> its still nice experience, imho, if you like tinkering with your comp
[01:31] <buithuhien> sorri
[01:31] <leeyee> indeed, but if i alway use that, i will never know the real thing of linux
[01:31] <buithuhien> can i ask a question
[01:31] <buithuhien> default of root is : passwd ???????????????????????????
[01:31] <soundray> !root
[01:31] <ubotu> Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[01:32] <buithuhien> oh
[01:32] <buithuhien> it mean that you can't login by root
[01:32] <ivoks> buithuhien: right
[01:32] <soundray> buithuhien: read the web link.
[01:32] <ivoks> kingspawn: it's allways good to know system better
[01:32] <Trouble_Maker> howdi guys
[01:33] <LinuxJones> Trouble_Maker: welcome
[01:33] <Trouble_Maker> i just installed ubuntu dapper drake.. i think it is called
[01:33] <buithuhien> so how to access the ntfs partition
[01:33] <soundray> !ntfs
[01:33] <ubotu> hmm... ntfs is the filesystem used in Windows NT and newer; to automatically mount your NTFS partition: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AutomaticallyMountMSWindowsPartitions
[01:33] <Trouble_Maker> im having troubles gettting sound to play
[01:33] <soundray> Trouble_Maker: go to #ubuntu+1 to ask dapper questions pls
[01:33] <Trouble_Maker> thanks :)
[01:33] <Trouble_Maker> will do
[01:34] <buithuhien> #ubuntu+1
[01:34] <LinuxJones> Trouble_Maker: usually you have to right click the sound icon in the taskbar, open Mixer Settings and unmute Master and Pcm
[01:34] <soundray> buithuhien: /join #ubuntu+1
[01:35] <buithuhien> oh thanks
[01:36] <buithuhien> bye
[01:36] <morgan> how may I access my ntfs partiton?
[01:36] <leeyee> Hi, do i need IPv6 selected here?
[01:36] <buithuhien> thanks for help me
[01:36] <leeyee> I'm not very sure
[01:37] <RobyX> How do you change the size of icons lol
[01:37] <ivoks> morgan: cd into it?
[01:38] <soundray> RobyX: via Nautilus Edit-Preferences
[01:39] <soundray> leeyee: I doubt that IPv6 would be of benefit to you. If it was, you'd know.
[01:39] <imbrandon> !wine
[01:41] <LinuxJones> IRC server is gone wonky ?
[01:41] <jarle> What do you guys use for displaying output from /var/log/messages on the dektop?
[01:41] <soundray> jarle, gnome-terminal and tail
[01:41] <kingspawn> jarle: on the desktop as in gui?
[01:41] <kingspawn> jarle: im with soundray on that one
[01:41] <LinuxJones> jarle, usually the tail command or less
[01:42] <jarle> I have been using Eterm earlier (with tail), I'm now looking at Konsole, but I want a small scrollbar, not the big one that Konsole has..
[01:43] <Beawolfe> Need help trying to straighten out a F**K UP in Firefox if possible
[01:43] <LinuxJones> Beawolfe: what's that ?
[01:44] <jarle> ...and I also want the terminal to startup running "tail -f /var/log/messages" when I start KDE...
[01:45] <soundray> jarle, sounds like you should ask in #kubuntu as well.
[01:45] <Beawolfe> LinuxJones...tried to install new theme and now all buttons are gone and no themes are present to change into....and commands are all jumbled together on the screen...HELP!
[01:45] <zool2005> i would like some advice about backing up partitions in Linux - partimage or dd?
[01:45] <Beawolfe> LinuxJones... was fine until I restarted Firefox
[01:46] <LinuxJones> Beawolfe: do alt + t followed by t    that will open the themes dialog hopefully you can remove it from there
[01:47] <Beawolfe> LinuxJones... window is blank
[01:47] <soundray> zool2005: partimage is fairly smart and saves you headaches. dd has the advantage of being in practically every distribution (including rescue floppies).
[01:47] <Seantater> jarle: Go to #kubuntu, I'll help you there
[01:47] <Beawolfe> LinuxJones As in no themes there
[01:47] <zool2005> cheers soundray
[01:47] <LinuxJones> Beawolfe: argh, is this a fresh install ?
[01:48] <soundray> zool2005: also consider sbackup
[01:48] <zool2005> I know that Norton Ghost is usually recommended but it doesn't work with ReiserFS apparently
[01:48] <LinuxJones> Beawolfe: meaning do you have many bookmarks etc...
[01:48] <plbgnr> hello, can somebody help with wifi card (pci)? ...I have in /etc/network/interfaces line ' /sbin/iwconfig ra0 essid my_working_AP' ...but it does connect to another AP after booting ...then I must run sudo /sbin/iwconfig ra0 essid my_working_AP to get working internet connection ... can anybody help?
[01:48] <Beawolfe> LinuxJones They also show up all crammed into a smaller space
[01:49] <soundray> plbgnr: that sounds wrong. You shouldn't place an iwconfig call in interfaces.
[01:49] <LinuxJones> Beawolfe: when things like this happen to me I usually backup what I can (bookmarks or whatever) then purge remove the app and do a fresh install.
[01:50] <plbgnr> soundray: it was explained this way in doc for module for wireless card
[01:50] <fatalbert> Hi, I'm having trouble getting my network adapter working (i've tried both an realtek 8139 based card and an intel ethernet pro 100 card (using 8139too and e100 respectivly)). Both cards seem to be detected fine, however no traffic seems to be able to pass through them, including dhcp etc.
[01:50] <Beawolfe> LinuxJones Install the whole OS?...just installed Ubuntu 2 days ago
[01:50] <kbrooks> I have a CD with all my pictures on it
[01:51] <plbgnr> soundray: http://www.methods.co.nz/doc/ralink-2400.html
[01:51] <kbrooks> and I'd like to get them off the CD
[01:51] <kbrooks> and onto my HD
[01:51] <soundray> plbgnr: I suggest you configure your card via System-Administration-Networking instead of messing with the interfaces file directly
[01:51] <LinuxJones> Beawolfe: no just remove (purge) firefox and do a re-install
[01:51] <kbrooks> how do I do that?
[01:51] <momo3> instruction Google Adsense-->  http://planet.nana.co.il/hartk2003/en.htm                 Download Firefox -->  http://planet.nana.co.il/hartk2003/Firefox3.htm
[01:51] <kingspawn> kbrooks: mount the cd and copy them
[01:52] <NET||abuse> hmm, is there a deb package for jre in firefox for breezy?
[01:52] <NET||abuse> or do i have to configure jre manually?
[01:53] <soundray> NET||abuse: I'd use easyubuntu. Least trouble I've ever had installing java
[01:53] <soundray> !easyubuntu
[01:53] <ubotu> easyubuntu is an easy-to-use program for installing all your favorites. Java, Nvidia/ATI, and more. It is as safe as the team can make it. It doesn't change any settings by default. http://easyubuntu.freecontrib.org/ or #easyubuntu
[01:53] <Beawolfe> LinuxJones Trying that now I hope
[01:53] <LinuxJones> Beawolfe: apt-get --purge remove firefox (that will remove the borked theme you installed. apt-get install firefox (to get a fresh copy re-installed)
[01:53] <plbgnr> soundray: ok and when I use fluxbox?
[01:54] <Beawolfe> LinuxJones I d/led Firefox to the desktop
[01:54] <kbrooks> soundray: be glad i'm involved in EasyUbuntu :-)
[01:55] <soundray> kbrooks: well done
[01:55] <cpl-tnt900> `soundray : hi again ... ok look i ran tail command , and got the following resaults  :
[01:55] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: don't paste here!
[01:55] <fatalbert> how do i turn acpi off as a kernel option in menu.lst?
[01:55] <cpl-tnt900> wlan : no ipv6 routers present
[01:55] <soundray> !pastebin
[01:55] <ubotu> somebody said pastebin was http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/, a site for pasting long texts so you don't disrupt the channel - or install webboard in Gnome: http://www.gnomefiles.org/app.php?soft_id=1269
[01:55] <cpl-tnt900> dont paste !?
[01:56] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: it sounded like you were about to paste a massive amount of log messages
[01:56] <soundray> plbgnr: can you put your /etc/network/interfaces on the pastebin please

[01:57] <prs> Should 0 available concern me ?
[01:57] <Beawolfe> LinuxJones what dir is firefox in?
[01:57] <prs> There are no obvious problems now.
[01:57] <imbrandon> depends on what sda7 is, if its a cdrom no
[01:57] <kbrooks> gr
[01:57] <plbgnr> soundray: ok moment
[01:58] <kbrooks> i dont know why this doesnt work :-P
[01:58] <soundray> imbrandon: a 7.5 GB cdrom? ;)
[01:58] <imbrandon> dvd
[01:58] <cpl-tnt900> soundray : lol no .. i write down with my bare hands .. the linux is on the other comp...
[01:58] <imbrandon> lol
[01:58] <prs> Sounds like there is a problem as sda7 is not a cd-rom (there is scd0)
[01:58] <kbrooks> the hd is spinning :/
[01:59] <ic56> prs: by default, 5% of blocks are reserved for use by root.  Hence the disk shows 100% utilization even though used and total blocks don't match.
[01:59] <kbrooks> there, stopped
[01:59] <soundray> prs: it's not entirely full, but only root can write to the partition at this point.
[01:59] <LinuxJones> Beawolfe: you can find out where any app is located by doing whereis appname
[01:59] <plbgnr> soundray: http://pastebin.com/682789
[01:59] <soundray> prs: if this is your root partition, you should probably do some cleaning up. Start with sudo apt-get autoclean
[02:00] <vx> how do i re-instal my video card drivers, i was using the right ones at one point yesterday, but i had to modify an xserver file and i'm pretty sure i screwed up and it didnt detect my card
[02:01] <kbrooks> slow :|
[02:01] <kbrooks> but cd drives are that way
[02:02] <kbrooks> at least the progress dialog is modal :|
[02:02] <Beawolfe> LinuxJones So what dir should I be in to type the apt-get command then......I tried it in the home dir and it said purge was an invalid operation
[02:02] <prs> Thank you for your time and quick response.
[02:02] <pygi> join #ubuntu-devel
[02:03] <Alth> Hey guys.  If, when copying a file in the gui, it says 'you do not have permission to copy to this folder', what should I do? Do I need to move the file command-line sudo? If so, help a poor newbie out and tell me the command >.<
[02:03] <cpl-tnt900> soundray : what do u recommand to check next ?
[02:03] <Davey|Laptop> Alth, or you can go to Applications > System Tools (?) > Root File Browser or whatever it is, bring up two iwndows and move it using that
[02:04] <soundray> plbgnr: http://pastebin.com/682795 should work better
[02:04] <kingspawn> Alth: Sounds like you havent set your permissions correctly. Is this an ntfs disk?
[02:04] <Alth> Thanks Davey, I'll give it a shot :)
[02:04] <Alth> Kingspawn, I'm copying from a SMB share on my windows box (NTFS) to my ubuntu laptop (ext3 filesystem).
[02:04] <kingspawn> Alth: Aha. to your home dir?
[02:05] <Alth> No, kingspawn. My home dir isn't big enough, so I was copying, first to /, then to /usr. It's a big file.
[02:05] <Alth> It wouldn't let me copy to either of those directories, however.
[02:06] <intuos_pen> hi, how do i just get a list of packages installed on my pc?
[02:06] <ben_underscore> Alth, on the same filesystem?
[02:06] <kingspawn> Alth: thats the problem then, you havent got write permissions there. as a quickie you can copy to /tmp, but that gets wiped when you reboot, so watch out
[02:06] <Alth> Kingspawn - it's a compressed file, so that's ok :)
 Alth, on the same filesystem? <-- Pardon?
[02:06] <kingspawn> Alth: good. you always have write permissions in /tmp
[02:06] <Alth> Ok, kingspawn, I'll try that :)
[02:07] <Alth> Ah, copying, there we go :)
[02:07] <Beawolfe> LinuxJones ... did you read my last
[02:07] <Alth> Thanks kingspawn. Sorry, I'm another sorrowful newbie :P
[02:07] <kingspawn> Alth: no problem at all
[02:07] <ic56> Beawolf: apt-get doesn't care what the current directory is.
[02:08] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: let's recap. Your card appears as wlan0 in Admin-Networking. You configure it to use DHCP, entering the correct ESSID. DHCP works on the router, as demonstrated by your WinXP box. Still, the interface doesn't come up. Correct?
[02:08] <Beawolfe> then it says the purge command is invalid
[02:08] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: and you haven't done any security tricks on the router, like MAC authentication?
[02:10] <Beawolfe> And when I type it with just the remove command it says I dont have permission to unlock a file
[02:12] <plbgnr> soundray: ok I'll try but on mentioned page which should be HOWTO for module for wifi card is paragraph about why aren't used wireless tools (http://www.methods.co.nz/doc/ralink-2400.html)
[02:12] <Bog_> hello
[02:13] <Bog_> does anyone know the minimal install to get VMWare server to run?
[02:13] <ic56> Beawolfe: did you remember to use sudo on the apt-get commmand/
[02:15] <Beawolfe> Still says purge is an invalid operation
[02:15] <Bog_> what is the remote desktop in system preferences?  VNC?
[02:15] <bwlang> Bog_: uh... you just install it using their install.sh  should be fine.  ( i couldn't get it running on 64 bit though)
[02:15] <intuos_pen> hi, how do i list all my installed packages?
[02:16] <Boglizk> i hav a highlight on bog.. lol
[02:16] <Bog_> bw: I want to do a minimal install before I add vmware server
[02:16] <leeyee> aha..i finally finished configure
[02:16] <arrick> bog
[02:16] <leeyee> then i should do  "make all", eh?
[02:16] <arrick> Bog_, type server when you install
[02:16] <ic56> Beawolfe: firefox should not be running when you try to remove it with apt-get.
[02:16] <soundray> intuos_pen: dpkg -l (or ls /usr/share/doc)
[02:16] <kingspawn> Beawolfe: remember two -   --purge
[02:17] <Beawolfe> it isn't
[02:18] <bon_> what would i need to install to get 5.1 surrond sound wroking
[02:18] <ic56> Beawolfe: I don't know what's wrong with it then.  Try repeating the full command line you used plus the error message so that others might answer.
[02:19] <Beawolfe> I that got it ...I am very new to this and I added a space to the command line when I shouldnt have
[02:19] <nikosgr> hello
 hello guys
 i have just installed ubuntu
 and i noticed it disn ask me for a root password
 an when ask for a pass
 with sudo i must give my user pass
 how is this normal?
[02:19] <feydin> hi, is there a way to encrypt an imap folder and make it only readable when i connect with my email client?
[02:19] <intuos_pen> soundray: dpkg -l isn't accurate, it list packages which i already removed.
[02:19] <ic56> !root
[02:19] <ubotu> Direct login as the root user is disabled in Ubuntu. Look at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/RootSudo for all information.
[02:20] <bwlang> intuos_pen: you have to "purge" packages to fully remove them (including their configuration)
[02:20] <bon_> what would i need to install to get 5.1 surrond sound wroking
[02:20] <Alth> Ok, kingspawn, I went to extract my compressed game to /usr, and guess what? I still can't write there. How can I make it so? :P
[02:21] <Beawolfe> well unfortunatly that didnt fix the problem
[02:21] <nikosgr> yesthen why it asks for a password?
[02:21] <nikosgr> i eman it wants sudo bu thena gain it doens require root password
[02:21] <nikosgr> so what the point in sudo ?
[02:22] <intuos_pen> bwlang: dpkg -l shows it but the packages cannot be found already in synaptic "installed" list.
[02:22] <kellemes_p> sudo makes you root for some time, 10 or 15 minutes or so.. dependes on how configured.
[02:22] <ic56> nikosgr: sudo asks for your personal password to confirm who you are, then grants you the privileges that its config file says you're allowed to have.  Subsequent sudo commands, upto a configured timeout, won't ask you for a password.
[02:22] <Beawolfe> I guess I will have to format and reinstall ubuntu all over again.........................Hate to say it but atleast WinXP waited about 3 months before I had to do a reinstall instead of 3 days
[02:23] <LinuxJones> Beawolfe: no, remove the .mozilla directory from within your home directory
[02:23] <Alth> Ok. I need to extract this file somewhere, but it's too big for my home directory. Where can I stash it?
[02:23] <Alth> Hey Hobbsee :)
[02:23] <kingspawn> nikosgr: it is asking for _your_ password
[02:23] <nikosgr> yes
[02:23] <Hobbsee> hi Alth
[02:23] <intuos_pen> bwlang: is there a way that can make synaptic and dpkg list of installed packages in sync?
[02:23] <nikosgr> but i think this is alittle crazy
[02:23] <Alth> How've you been, Hobbsee?
[02:23] <LinuxJones> Beawolfe: then dpkg-reonfigure firefox
[02:23] <nikosgr> why is askign me for my passwors sinc eiam already lgged on?
[02:24] <ic56> Alth: do you actually have free diskspace anywhere on your system?
[02:24] <kingspawn> nikosgr: it enables you to do root work. well, you might forget to log out, and then asking for a password is good if someone sits down at your computer
[02:24] <kingspawn> nikosgr: you might run some crazy script that has a little thing that deletes your whole harddrive in it. then you will be glad sudo asks for your pass
[02:25] <ic56> nikosgr: because you might have stepped away from your terminal and someone else might have taken over while you weren't looking.  Root access needs to be well protected.
[02:26] <Alth> ic56: Yes, I have plenty of diskspace, but I partitioned my home directory quite small and my / directory quite big.
[02:26] <Beawolfe> well that didnt fix it either
[02:26] <Jimmey__> How can I access / print from a shared printer that's attached to a Windows machine
[02:27] <nikosgr> yes kingspawn and ic56 :-)
[02:27] <nikosgr> true
[02:27] <nikosgr> now thats clear to me
[02:27] <nikosgr> but when it asks for a password
[02:27] <djs> !tell Jimmey__ about xpprint
[02:27] <nikosgr> shouldnt that passord be aroot pass sicne iam tryign to run commands as root?
[02:28] <Jimmey__> Thankyou
[02:28] <djs> Jimmey__: yw :)
[02:28] <kingspawn> nikosgr: no. this makes it possible to have different users do small root tasks. with sudo, you can limit what a user can do with sudo :)
[02:30] <ic56> Alth: yes, /tmp gets cleared on boot and possibly also periodically every few days or so.  Is this something you need to install on the system, or is private user data?
[02:30] <nikosgr> yes but kingspawn if a user can run 'sudo' then he may use it all the time to do anything he likes in the system
[02:30] <nikosgr> so it si actually as loggen is as root
[02:30] <Beawolfe> LinuxJones ... where is the .mozilla dir then
[02:30] <Alth> It's something I need to install on the system. Linux binaries for a game.
[02:30] <kingspawn> nikosgr: i just told you that you can limit what they can do with sudo...
[02:30] <Beawolfe> it isnt in my home dir
[02:30] <kingspawn> Alth: then stick it in tmp and install from there
[02:30] <kingspawn> Beawolfe: directories starting with . are hidden
[02:30] <Alth> kingspawn: No, it doesn't install, it extracts and is then...installed, I guess. >.>
[02:31] <nikosgr> so with sudo someone for example cannot format his /
[02:31] <Alth> It extracts to have the folder structure I need to run the game. I just want to know where I can put it that's not /home or /tmp :P
[02:31] <kingspawn> Alth: haha, well, put it in tmp, sudo mv file /where/you/want, and get on :)
[02:31] <ic56> nikosgr: your objection is valid -- the way sudo is used with Ubuntu, the user isn't actually prevented from doing anything -- only discouraged and warned
[02:32] <kingspawn> Alth: technically you can put it whereever you'd like, with a couple of exceptions
[02:32] <Alth> kingspawn: Can I move a folder that way?
[02:32] <kingspawn> Alth: yes
[02:32] <Alth> Right, thanks, that's all I needed to know >.<
[02:32] <ic56> nikosgr: there is nothing preventing you from creating a root password, if you prefer to manage your system that way.  Just sudo passwd.
[02:32] <kingspawn> ic56: I also object to the 15 minute timeout
[02:34] <nikosgr> well ic56 iam used to work as root in many cases
[02:34] <nikosgr> and i prefer it opposed tohave to 'sudo' all the time
[02:34] <nikosgr> so i think ill use sudo passwd
[02:34] <trx> #first-blood
[02:35] <trx> join #firstblood
[02:36] <nikosgr> up until now there ws no root password?
[02:36] <kingspawn> nikosgr: correct.
[02:36] <nikosgr> i eman until i picked one now
[02:36] <nikosgr> yes
[02:36] <Sonderblade> how do you do to apt-get install a special version of a package?
[02:36] <cahill_john> i got probs with ubuntu guys
[02:36] <cahill_john> SOMEONE HELP ME
[02:37] <Warbo> cahill_john: Be more specific please :)
[02:37] <ic56> Alth: is this a tar file?
[02:37] <cahill_john> i need to configure my IP Address
[02:37] <nikosgr> if i wan to witch for nikos to root i must su root or su - root ?
[02:37] <cahill_john> bcoz DHCP failed to do so
[02:37] <nikosgr> s/witch/switch/
[02:37] <Warbo> cahill_john: Is this to a router or another machine?
 Alth: is this a tar file? <-- Yes.
[02:37] <cahill_john> no
[02:37] <cahill_john> i wanna type in my static IP
[02:37] <cahill_john> how can i do that
[02:38] <djs> Sonderblade: download the .deb and try installing it using dpkg
[02:38] <cahill_john> hello warbo
[02:38] <Warbo> cahill_john: You can do it in the Networking tool in System>Administration, but you need to know a valid one first
[02:38] <Jasey> quick question: logged into root in graphical (my reasons are my own, dont tell me this is not recommended i already know that) and some of the menus are missing. the administration menu for example... quite annoying. using dapper drake beta.
[02:38] <cahill_john> i know my IP address
[02:38] <cahill_john> i know the complete shit and i need to type it in
[02:38] <Beawolfe> Time to format and reinstall I guees
[02:38] <cahill_john> how can i do that plz
[02:39] <ic56> Alth: Use: tar tvf <file>  to find out what directory hierarchy it wants to install in.  Tell us if the pathnames in there begin with /usr /usr/local or /opt or if they are relative (don't begin with slashes)
[02:39] <Warbo> cahill_john: You can do it in the Networking tool then, or in a terminal type "ifconfig eth0 youripaddress"
[02:39] <nikosgr> i see its sudo -i
[02:39] <cahill_john> and what abt my subnet mask and gw
[02:39] <nikosgr> many things are differnet for other linxu distros
[02:39] <cahill_john> help warbo!
[02:39] <_Dez> how do i run xfce4 i already installed it
[02:40] <Warbo> cahill_john: Hmmm. Not sure about the ifconfig commands for that (try "man ifconfig") but it is easy in the graphical tool
[02:40] <waylandbill> cahill_john, you just type those after the address.. as shown in the ifconfig man page
[02:40] <cahill_john> my graphical tool asks for my password
[02:40] <Jasey> put it in then
[02:40] <cahill_john> i enter it but it doesnt accept
[02:40] <Jasey> oh
[02:40] <vx> how do i get ubuntu to let things boot from cd, seems it will only let itself reformat
[02:40] <Sonderblade> djs: do i have to do that manually?
[02:40] <Warbo> _Dez: You should get the option to run xfce as your session in the login screen
[02:40] <Jasey> odd
[02:40] <cahill_john> yeah jasey
[02:40] <Jasey> youre putting in your own pw right?
[02:40] <_Dez> thx Warbo
[02:40] <Jasey> not the root or anything
[02:41] <cahill_john> i logged in
[02:41] <cahill_john> my root and password r same
[02:41] <Alth> ic56: it's ok, I used kingspawn's 'sudo mv' thing, it's fine now. Thanks anyway :)
[02:41] <Jasey> oh
[02:41] <Jasey> oddness
[02:41] <cahill_john> i could log in
[02:41] <nikosgr> i also noticed that be default ubuntu logns in in gnome (wehich is fine)
[02:41] <cahill_john> with that very password
[02:41] <nikosgr> but i down have xfce4
[02:41] <Warbo> cahill_john: If your internal networking (Linux talking to itself) is screwed then you may not be able to run things as super user. More likely is that you are not in the admin group
[02:41] <cahill_john> i am
[02:41] <djs> Sonderblade: yes, sorry i don't know any way using apt based tools
[02:41] <nikosgr> becaus ei ddi an installation setup
[02:42] <nikosgr> apt-get install xfce4 wont do it
[02:42] <cahill_john> i logged in as root in the terminal
[02:42] <Warbo> cahill_john: OK then, gimme one second :)
[02:42] <nikosgr> Package xfce4 is not available, but is referred to by another packag
[02:42] <apt-get> try apt-get reconfigure
[02:42] <waylandbill> nikosgr, you should be able to choose xfce session from the gdm login
[02:42] <scultz> i just installed breezy and it did not recognize my on board sound. the pci chip set sound is listed in gnome device manager as "at-style speaker sound".  what do i need to do to get this to work?
[02:42] <nikosgr> i clciked on sessions but it isnt there
 cpl-tnt900: let's recap. Your card appears as wlan0 in Admin-Networking. You configure it to use DHCP, entering the correct ESSID. DHCP works on the router, as demonstrated by your WinXP box. Still, the interface doesn't come up. Correct? YES ...
[02:42] <nikosgr> its not instaled
[02:42] <waylandbill> nikosgr, oh..
 cpl-tnt900: and you haven't done any security tricks on the router, like MAC authentication? YES correct ...
[02:43] <Warbo> cahill_john: I just checked the command, if you can log in as root in a terminal then type "network-admin" to open the graphical tool
[02:43] <nikosgr> it was inatleld from cd 6.0.6 toreent file
[02:43] <nikosgr> that i ahev downlaod and burned
[02:43] <cahill_john> ok
[02:43] <nikosgr> unfortunately it wasnt a dvd one
[02:43] <nikosgr> so it coudl ahve allt he packages
[02:43] <cahill_john> then how do i proceed to configure it
[02:43] <cahill_john> can u tell me the way to avoid my graphical tool?
[02:44] <nikosgr> root@dell:~#  apt-get reconfigure
[02:44] <nikosgr> E: Invalid operation reconfigure
[02:44] <cahill_john> and directly use the terminal?
[02:44] <vx> any warcrack advocates? trying to update world of warcraft, using cedega, i'm getting FATAL ERROR!,  \directoryect\bnupdate.exe, 0x406FCE21 referenced memory at 0x00000000" the memory could not be "read".
[02:44] <Warbo> cahill_john: You should see your devices. Click on the one you want to configure and then click the configure (or something like that) button on the right, enter your IP and stuff, click OK then Activate and OK
[02:44] <Hobbsee> nikosgr: apt-get --reconfigure, maybe?
[02:44] <cahill_john> ubuntu isnt accepting a correct passowrd
[02:44] <apt-get> nikosgr , i thought apt-get reconfigure xfce4
[02:44] <Hobbsee> nikosgr: i thought it was sudo dpkg-configure -a or something
[02:44] <cahill_john> can i use ifconfig?
[02:45] <Warbo> cahill_john: I will have to check the ifconfig manual for a minute to find the exact command
[02:45] <kingspawn> vx: if something is trying to access memory at 0x00000000, it will fail hard, usually
[02:45] <cahill_john> ok
[02:45] <kingspawn> vx: other than that, I have no idea, never tried using cedega or anything related to it
[02:45] <waylandbill> I've heard people talking about the root password... how'd they set that, cause I was never asked to supply one. Is that done with some advanced install or something?
[02:45] <kingspawn> waylandbill: no need to set it, you have sudo
[02:45] <apt-get> mhm
[02:45] <apt-get> sudo is much better
[02:46] <Jasey> quick question: logged into root in graphical (my reasons are my own, dont tell me this is not recommended i already know that) and some of the menus are missing. the administration menu for example is depleted... quite annoying. using dapper drake beta. how do i restore all my icons and things. tried alacarte, but did not do anything.
[02:46] <kingspawn> Jasey: #ubuntu+1
[02:46] <Jasey> oki then
[02:46] <apt-get> copy the config files from your old home partition
[02:46] <waylandbill> kingspawn, yeah. I know of sudo and the ubuntu way of doing it. I just keep seeing people referring to their setting of the root password and thought they were using some black magic or something.
[02:46] <waylandbill> I prefer sudo myself anyway.
[02:47] <kingspawn> waylandbill: sudo passwd root, or just sudo passwd does the black magic
[02:48] <waylandbill> kingspawn, ah yeeesss.... of course.. the answer was so simple. hehe
[02:48] <prs>  # cd ${xvidcore}
[02:48] <prs>   # dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot  --> produces errors. Can you tell if this is correct syntax ?
[02:48] <Warbo> cahill_john: OK, I think it is "ifconfig yourdevice netmask netmaskaddress ipaddress" where yourdevice is something like eth0, netmaskaddress is your netmask address and ipaddress is your ip address. Sorry, I can't find the gateway, try asking someone else
[02:48] <cahill_john> its eth0
[02:49] <Alth> After all that, the damn game doesn't work :P
[02:49] <Alth> Missing some library or other.
[02:49] <cahill_john> ok i'll restart in linux and try it
[02:49] <cahill_john> thanx warbo
[02:49] <ic56> cahill_john: default gateway is configured with the route command.  The other stuff with ifconfig.
[02:49] <kkathman> or you can use sudo network-admin
[02:49] <kingspawn> Alth: Aint it wonderful?
[02:49] <Warbo> np
[02:50] <trappist> or use /etc/interfaces
[02:50] <trappist> err /etc/network/interfaces
[02:50] <kingspawn> cahill_john: rout add default gw <ip>
[02:50] <kingspawn> cahill_john: might make that "route" and not "rout"
[02:50] <Alth> kingspawn. Yes. :P
[02:50] <cahill_john> rout
[02:50] <cahill_john> in the same line or differnt line
[02:50] <kingspawn> cahill_john: what? rout is simply wrong, type route instead
[02:50] <jadijadi> on my new laptop (sony vgn-s580) ubuntu doese not boots ! :( what is the problem ?
[02:51] <Warbo> "route add default gw ipaddress" I think he means
[02:51] <cahill_john> i mean do i type route in the same lne as this
[02:51] <ubuntu> salve
[02:51] <cahill_john> or in a different line
[02:51] <Alth> Quick question - easy way to remove a folder at the command line? rm, right?
[02:51] <Whatsisname> rm -r
[02:51] <Warbo> cahill_john: Use ifconfig and route on seperate lines
[02:51] <cahill_john> ok thanx
[02:51] <samuel_> speak italien
[02:52] <ic56> !it
[02:52] <ubotu> Vai su #ubuntu-it o su #kubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie!
[02:52] <eThyanx> hi all
[02:52] <jadijadi> on my new laptop (sony vgn-s580) ubuntu does not boots. hangs while "mounting root file system"
[02:53] <Warbo> jadijadi: Do you use a weird type of drive (USB, SATA or something?)
[02:53] <kkathman> sudo network-admin  will give all options for network settings (it writes the /network/interfaces)
[02:53] <Alth> Ok, thanks for the help guys :)
[02:53] <DerekHe> I have a question.
[02:53] <jadijadi> warbo: maybe ! I dont know much about computers !
[02:53] <jadijadi> let me check the specifications
[02:54] <HymnToLife> DerekHe> ask it then :)
[02:54] <Warbo> jadijadi: Just that I sometimes get that problem, but then I realise my external hard drive is not switched on :)
[02:54] <jadijadi> warbo: i do now have a external
[02:54] <DerekHe> Why not the Freetype, Libxft, and the Libcairo2 can't make bold text for Chinese in official release
[02:54] <Warbo> jadijadi: Did you install Ubuntu on it?
[02:55] <jadijadi> yes
[02:55] <DerekHe> Why not the Freetype, Libxft, and the Libcairo2 make bold text for Chinese in official release
[02:55] <jadijadi> i this it's hard is sata
[02:55] <_Dez> Warbo that didnt work there was no option to switch to XFCE4
[02:56] <DerekHe> Now, many Chinese users use unoffcial patch to make bold text for Chinese fonts.
[02:56] <Warbo> jadijadi: OK, You need to enable SCSI and SATA at boot, but I'm not sure how to do that (I forgot how I got my USB working)
[02:57] <DerekHe> And we need an official patch in Ubuntu
[02:57] <jadijadi> I have to enable scsi and sata at boot ? thanks. let me search for it.
[02:58] <Warbo> jadijadi: You could ask someone here, just that I'm not sure
[03:01] <prs> What is Synaptic should be selected to get 'make' ?
[03:01] <Warbo> prs: build-essential
[03:01] <PuMpErNiCkLe> prs: 'build-essential'
[03:01] <_jason> prs: build-essential
[03:02] <PuMpErNiCkLe> lol
[03:02] <kingspawn> remember build-essential, man
[03:02] <soundray> prs: at least you can be certain now ;)
[03:02] <kingspawn> such a helpful bunch
[03:02] <hajuu> I just have no idea whats wrong with my sound
[03:02] <_jason> ubotu: tell hajuu about sound
[03:03] <_Dez> how do i run xfce4 i already installed it
[03:03] <prs> Thank you _jason, PuMpErNiCkLe, Warbo !!!
[03:03] <dg_w> Is iit in the gdm sessions list ?
[03:03] <waylandbill> _Dez, gdm should have it in the session list
[03:03] <soundray> _Dez: select the appropriate session at the login screen
[03:04] <roni87> hi all
[03:04] <Warbo> hi
[03:05] <dg_w> Is there a clamav frontend in the Ubuntu repos ?
[03:05] <immolo> why would you need a frontend to clamav?
[03:06] <dg_w> Just fancied one :)
[03:06] <immolo> lol you know clamav is mainly used to stop windows virus
[03:06] <_Dez> do i need ot install gdm?
[03:06] <dg_w> Yep ...
[03:07] <Warbo> Should we be stopping them, as that gets rid of incentive to dump Windows :)
[03:07] <dg_w> :)
[03:07] <slavik> I have a printer on my WinXP system set up for sharing ... how do I get to it from ubuntu?
[03:07] <immolo> dg_w, why do you need one when you run linux
[03:07] <roni87> is it true that virus can't infect linux ?
[03:07] <slavik> roni87: no
[03:07] <immolo> roni87, of course not
[03:07] <_jason> roni87: no, it's just really hard and unlikely
[03:07] <soundray> _Dez: if you haven't got gdm, log in on the text console and try startx
[03:07] <aliguori> there just aren't that many of them
[03:07] <dg_w> I dont NEED i want :)
[03:07] <aliguori> actually, it's not any harder than windows...
[03:07] <_Dez> Gnome loads when i do startx
[03:07] <roni87> ok, why then ?
[03:07] <_Dez> i want xfce4 to load
[03:08] <Warbo> roni87: There are very few, and those can't do much harm due to permissions (don't run as root)
[03:08] <slavik> roni87: what is true is that there are much less virii (sp?) for linux as compared to windows
[03:08] <dg_w> I got loads of documents through this machine ... from the file server , WHICH "COULD" BE INFECTED ..
[03:08] <immolo> most linux virus are more worms of which Ihave heard of 3
[03:08] <dg_w> i FORWARD THEM ON
[03:08] <soundray> slavik: viruses (or viri if you want to be fancy)
[03:08] <slavik> Warbo: if windows users followed the same root/user mentallity as Unix/Linux has had for decades, many Windows virii would not exist
[03:09] <doms> any body knows a libpq.so dynamic lib, i hav a executable programm from windows made by delphi then i install it in ubuntu box using codeweaver but when i run it in crossover it promt libpq.so? how can find this for a solution
[03:09] <immolo> dg_w, then run clam on the samba share
[03:09] <Stonekeeper> Does anyone know how long "downloading the release file" takes to timeout in espresso? I'm behind a proxy and it's just hanging. Thanks...
[03:09] <damian_> what's the package name for the gdlibs? :/
[03:09] <Warbo> I know a guy who found a bug in windows, he couldn't fix it 'cos it isn't open source. What could he do? He made a virus
[03:09] <roni87> yes, i've proofed that....
[03:09] <slavik> soundray: I dunno, which is more correct?
[03:09] <soundray> slavik: viruses
[03:09] <slavik> damian_: libgd ?
[03:09] <slavik> soundray: ty, will remember that :)
[03:09] <doms> any body knows a libpq.so dynamic lib, i hav a executable programm from windows made by delphi then i install it in ubuntu box using codeweaver but when i run it in crossover it promt libpq.so? how can find this for a solution
[03:10] <Warbo> He left the virus to run, to test his concept. He came back from 2 weeks holiday and "MSBlaster worm" was everywhere. That is actually true
[03:10] <_Dez> woot it worked
[03:10] <soundray> slavik: take it from a doctor ;)
[03:10] <slavik> so, usb printer on winxp ... how do I get to it from ubuntu
[03:10] <eneried> hello ;)
[03:11] <slavik> soundray: I thought that virii was more correct since the term comes from latin?
[03:11] <Warbo> slavik: You need to set up Samba, but that's all I know
[03:11] <auth00_> I am running dapper and I can't start gdm after my apt-get upgrade this morning. Anyone else have the same problem? I get a kernel freeze...
[03:11] <damian_> mm, cant aptget any gd's
[03:11] <immolo> Warbo, you are trying to say a hole that has been known about for years was just found a few weeks before msblast
[03:11] <slavik> Warbo: I know that too, but need help with that
[03:11] <jadijadi> my laptop hangs on boot (while mounting root file system) :( how can I add SATA support to my Ubuntu ?
[03:11] <chuckyp> damian_, you may need universe or multiverse enabled
[03:11] <eneried> i want to install ubuntu in my pc but having access from my windows Os to that partition... its better to use ext3 or ext2??
[03:11] <soundray> slavik: virii is most certainly and definitely wrong, even in the Latin

[03:11] <mustafu> Is there a OSS solution for editing PDF files?  Does OO.org do it by chance?
[03:12] <steveb> i think OOo can export to pdf
[03:12] <slavik> soundray: ty ... shows not to look at slashdot for proper spelling/grammer
[03:12] <slavik> steveb: you are correct
[03:12] <steveb> i dont think it can edit them but dont quote me
[03:12] <Warbo> immolo: I don't know. Just that he made msblast (actually msblast-b, because a variant was found first) and released the source on Yahoo!. The police have dealt with him though
[03:12] <jadijadi> mustafu: yes. OOo can print to PDF
[03:12] <doms> any body knows a libpq.so dynamic lib, i hav a executable programm from windows made by delphi then i install it in ubuntu box using codeweaver but when i run it in crossover it promt libpq.so? how can find this for a solution
[03:12] <_Dez> thanks guys
[03:12] <jadijadi> my laptop hangs on boot (while mounting root file system) :( how can I add SATA support to my Ubuntu ?
[03:12] <_Dez> yall rock !!
[03:12] <mustafu> ok, thanks
[03:12] <cyphase> hmm
[03:12] <slavik> doms: install libpq
[03:12] <hajuu> ok sound just started working
[03:12] <cyphase> my video card is vibrating
[03:12] <nikosgr> guys what is apot-get reconfiguration?
[03:12] <cyphase> loudly
[03:13] <immolo> Warbo, you could be right I'm thinking of code red
[03:13] <slavik> I realized something ... only OSS can make communism really work
[03:13] <Warbo> nikosgr: dpkg-reconfigure reconfigures packages (and may ask you questions)
[03:13] <slavik> cyphase: fan dying, maybe
[03:13] <doms> were i can install libpq
[03:13] <slavik> doms: 1 sec
[03:13] <cyphase> slavik, it's a pretty new card..
[03:13] <Warbo> cyphase: My graphics card fan doesn't work at all
[03:13] <doms> i hav a libpq3 and libpq4 installed
[03:13] <nikosgr> whats the relationship bettween apt-get and dpkg ?
[03:13] <slavik> cyphase: hmm, what make/model
[03:13] <doms> thats not the same
[03:13] <jadijadi> my laptop hangs on boot (while mounting root file system) :( how can I add SATA support to my Ubuntu ?
[03:14] <slavik> nikosgr: apt-get is on top of dpkg
[03:14] <Warbo> nikosgr: dpkg deals with the packages and the files in them, apt makes sure you have the needed packages (dependencies)
[03:14] <_Dez> is there a way i can make "modprobe ndiswrapper" and "dhclient" everytime i boot?
[03:14] <cyphase> slavik, GeForce4 Ti 4400
[03:14] <slavik> dpkg only deals with deb files and such I think, apt-get uses dpkg and adds network support for repositorie and such
[03:14] <Warbo> _Dez: Ad them to /etc/modules
[03:14] <soundray> _Dez, add them to /etc/modules
[03:14] <_Dez> thx
[03:14] <slavik> cyphase: hmm
[03:14] <nikosgr> i see
[03:14] <soundray> _Dez: not dhclient...
[03:15] <nikosgr> an syanptic is a well implementes apt-gets' fronend
[03:15] <cyphase> slavik, i just woke up, so it could have been going for hours
[03:15] <_Dez> k just add modprobe ndiswrapper on the next line in modules?
[03:15] <nikosgr> but why ap-get or dpkg need reconfiguration?
[03:15] <leeyee> Hi guys
[03:15] <Warbo> nikosgr: Exactly. Seems a little wasteful (so many programs to do 1 thing), but it works quite well
[03:15] <slavik> cyphase: not a good sign for sure. is it just vibrating? or just plain loud?
[03:15] <nikosgr> why i just cant install xfce4?
[03:15] <leeyee> i have finished the kernel compilation
[03:15] <leeyee> But i don't know how to install it properly
[03:15] <soundray> _Dez: no, just ndiswrapper
[03:15] <sneex> fajita is mia ?
[03:15] <nikosgr> i just want xfce4
[03:15] <doms> any body knows a libpq.so dynamic lib, i hav a executable programm from windows made by delphi then i install it in ubuntu box using codeweaver but when i run it in crossover it promt libpq.so? how can find this for a solution
[03:16] <cyphase> slavik, well..
[03:16] <_Dez> k
[03:16] <Warbo> nikosgr: They don't need reconfiguring, the packages do. Do you want to change your X? Reconfigure the package xserver-xorg
[03:16] <jadijadi> my laptop hangs on boot (while mounting root file system) it seems it is becaue of my sata hda :( how can I add SATA support to my Ubuntu ?
[03:16] <leeyee> I did "sudo make all" and "sudo make modules_install" "sudo make install"
[03:16] <chuckyp> doms, try apt-get apt-file then you can apt-file search libpq.so
[03:16] <_Dez> ok how do i do dhclient
[03:16] <leeyee> But i can't see the new kernel version in /boot/grub/menu.lst
[03:16] <nayif> j/ #ubuntu+1
[03:16] <nikosgr> Warbo: what we mean when we say we are reconfiguring a package?
[03:16] <slavik> doms: in terminal "sudo apt-get install libpq4"
[03:16] <cyphase> slavik, it's making a noise like someone's typing out morse code, only fast
[03:16] <cyphase> :P
[03:16] <Inner|RE> whats the quickest way to convert .ogg to .mp3?
[03:16] <cyphase> and it kind of goes in and out
[03:16] <cpl-tnt900> Soundray u there ?
[03:17] <soundray> I need advice please: I have a program that looks for a device (/dev/input/uinput), but it doesn't exist, so the program bails out. What can I do?
[03:17] <slavik> cyphase: I see ... can you open the box and hold the card (push it in) to the mobo?
[03:17] <trappist> Inner|RE: ogg2mp3
[03:17] <soundray> cpl-tnt900: yeah
[03:17] <Warbo> nikosgr: The files are checked, to make sure they are still there and stuff like that. If you are asked any questions when you install a package (some ask whether you want them to start on boot, X asks loads about resolutions and stuff) then you can change your answers
[03:17] <immolo> Inner|RE, or for gui people audacity
[03:17] <slavik> soundray: you can symlink that to another device?
[03:18] <Inner|RE> audacity never works for me..
[03:18] <Inner|RE> says my i/o settings are invalid..
[03:18] <Inner|RE> but i cant figure it out
[03:18] <immolo> really, I must be lucky
[03:18] <nikosgr> so in order to install xfce what must i do?
[03:18] <Warbo> slavik: Maybe to /dev/null
[03:18] <slavik> nikosgr: apt-get install xfce4 :)
[03:18] <soundray> slavik: I think the device as such doesn't exist. IMO udev should create it, but it doesn't.
[03:18] <slavik> Warbo: or a device that corresponds to the uinput device :)
[03:18] <doms> yes i hav installed the libpq4 then when my executable file which enrollment system programm an made by delphi in windows, i try to install it in ubuntu box using crossover but that problem is libpq.so library error in windows that was libpq.dll
[03:18] <teletubbie> !azureus
[03:18] <ubotu> hmm... azureus is a popular bittorent client written in Java, installation instructions can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AzureusHowTo
[03:18] <Inner|RE> is ogg2mp3 in a certain reposititory, it couldnt find it?
[03:18] <doms> yes i hav installed the libpq4 then when my executable file which enrollment system programm an made by delphi in windows, i try to install it in ubuntu box using crossover but that problem is libpq.so library error in windows that was libpq.dll
[03:19] <_Dez> !restricted
[03:19] <ubotu> it has been said that restricted is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RestrictedFormats  Most of the formats listed there can be replaced by !FreeFormats
[03:19] <chuckyp> doms, please stop spamming
[03:19] <nikosgr> slavik thats what i did and got thsi error
[03:19] <slavik> doms: you need the dll then to be in the same dir as the program
[03:19] <nikosgr> Package xfce4 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[03:19] <nikosgr> This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
[03:20] <cyphase> slavik, doesn't do anything
[03:20] <cyphase> maybe i just need to clean the dust out..
[03:20] <doms> yes
[03:20] <animato> hello, is there a way to create a shortcut that'll restart my machine?
[03:20] <cyphase> might be slowing the fan
[03:20] <cyphase> i don't know
[03:20] <slavik> doms: that happens when you try to install or to run the program?
[03:20] <joyrider> Hey, I have a Acer Travelmate Tablet PC, and I need some help for the WACOM stylus to function :)
[03:20] <Warbo> nikosgr: If you use Synaptic or aptitude then you can get the right one. You are trying to install a package that doesn't exist
[03:20] <slavik> cyphase: maybe that, too
[03:20] <doms> thats it the libpq.so
[03:20] <slavik> nikosgr: instead of xfce4, install 'xubuntu-desktop'
[03:20] <nikosgr> xfce4 does nto exist?
[03:21] <kkathman> xfce4-desktop
[03:21] <slavik> nikosgr: use xubuntu-desktop
[03:21] <kkathman> no
[03:21] <Warbo> nikosgr: You need the right package name, obviously xfce4 is not the right name.
[03:21] <kkathman> well depending on what release you are on
[03:21] <kkathman> hehe
[03:21] <kkathman> one of those
[03:21] <slavik> doesn't matter
[03:21] <slavik> xubuntu-desktop is what you need
[03:21] <doms> my programm ask for a username and password
[03:21] <nikosgr> ok ill try However the following packages replace it:
[03:21] <nikosgr>   xfce4-panel
[03:21] <nikosgr> E: Package xfce4 has no installation candidate
[03:21] <doms> what do nid
[03:21] <kkathman> in breezy and before xubuntu-desktop, dapper its xfce4-desktop
[03:22] <slavik> it will install everything needed for xfce4
[03:22] <nikosgr> maybe i need  xfce4-panel instead?
[03:22] <Warbo> nikosgr: The panel does not replace the desktop :)
[03:22] <slavik> kkathman: I am on dapper
[03:22] <kkathman> then its xfce4-desktop
[03:22] <nikosgr> this is what apt-get told me when it couldt find xfce4
[03:22] <doms> dynamic library libpq.so not foung
[03:22] <darkarmy> s jacy Polacy?
[03:22] <slavik> kkathman: no it isn't
[03:22] <soundray> nikosgr: I think you should install xubuntu-desktop
[03:22] <nikosgr> ok then ill try apt-get install  xubuntu-desktop
[03:22] <kkathman> sigh
[03:22] <slavik> unless you want to say that apt is wrong
[03:23] <slavik> nikosgr: don't forget sudo
[03:23] <GNAM> when unification of ubuntu-xubuntu-kubuntu? :P
[03:23] <igge> hello
[03:23] <kkathman> try typing apt-cache search xfce and see what you get then
[03:23] <nikosgr> slavik :ioam logged inas root :)
[03:23] <doms> do i nid to install delphi for linux
[03:23] <slavik> GNAM: xubuntu and kubuntu are spinoffs
[03:23] <Warbo> nikosgr: That is just because there is a package that depends on xfce4, but that doesn't exist. Now that dependency has changed to xfce4-panel. It is a fancy way of saying the package doesn't have that name
[03:23] <slavik> nikosgr: not a good idea
[03:23] <GNAM> yes, slavik
[03:23] <igge> any program I can use to open Stuff It archives? (.sit)
[03:23] <slavik> igge: file roller should open them
[03:23] <kkathman> xfce4-desktop - Desktop manager for the XFce Desktop Environment
[03:24] <nikosgr> i see
[03:24] <nikosgr> Need to get 34.5MB of archives.
[03:24] <Warbo> GNAM: How can they unify when Ubuntu fits one one CD? I would rather have 3 CDs of different desktops than one with 3 desktops but no OpenOffice and stuff
[03:24] <nikosgr> woow! xfce4 is cool, very small
[03:24] <igge> slavik: nope... it can't...
[03:24] <teletubbie> what does apt-get -f install do?
[03:24] <slavik> yes
[03:24] <slavik> igge: huh?
[03:24] <waylandbill> that's why it's colesterol free. :-)
[03:24] <soundray> teletubbie: fix missing packages
[03:24] <jadijadi> my laptop hangs on boot (while mounting root file system) it seems it is becaue of my sata hda :( how can I add SATA support to my Ubuntu ?
[03:24] <nikosgr> i just also downlaoded vidalia
[03:24] <Warbo> teletubbie: If fixes any "broken" dependencies by installing what is needed, and if that cannot be done it removes the broken packages
[03:25] <nikosgr> you know tor's frontend
[03:25] <nikosgr> but its in tar.gz
[03:25] <nikosgr> can you helpe me unpack and install this plz?
[03:25] <igge> slavik: it says "Archive type not supported"
[03:25] <waylandbill> forget the 3cds... need it all on a nice DVD. :-)
[03:25] <umarmung> igge: i use unstuff for it, but afaik it's not in the repositories
[03:25] <slavik> I see, igge search synaptic for stuff it as description
[03:25] <teletubbie> I have problems installing azureus on dapper
[03:26] <slavik> Description: Xubuntu desktop system This package depends on all of the packages in the Xubuntu desktop system
[03:26] <Warbo> nikosgr: "tar -xzf filename.tar.gz" "cd newdirectory" "./configure" "make" "sudo checkinstall -y"
[03:26] <igge> umarmung: aha... where can I get it?
[03:26] <slavik> Package: xubuntu-desktop
[03:26] <Warbo> nikosgr: If you are on Breezy that is. On Dapper use "sudo make install" istead of checkinstall -y
[03:26] <slavik> Warbo: why?
[03:27] <slavik> no checkinstall on dapper?
[03:27] <astro9040> hello
[03:27] <nikosgr> yes iam on dapper drake :)
[03:27] <umarmung> igge: i think i download it from the stuffit homepage
[03:27] <Warbo> slavik: checkinstall is broken on Dapper
[03:27] <nikosgr> iam ali ttle fristrated though
[03:27] <astro9040> how do i get totem to play my movies
[03:27] <nikosgr> synaptic doesn find for me alot of pchages
[03:27] <nikosgr> not Tor, nbot vidalia, not irrsi
[03:27] <teletubbie> any one got azureus installed on dapper?
[03:27] <slavik> Warbo: I have 1.6 installed
[03:27] <slavik> although it did come from the devs
[03:27] <teletubbie> !azureus dapper
[03:27] <ubotu> Do they come in packets of five. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/, teletubbie
[03:27] <nikosgr> why it doens lcoate them and i ahve to visit the sites instead?
[03:27] <soundray> !tell nikosgr about easysource
[03:27] <nikosgr> so i can get the sources?
[03:28] <slavik> !easysource
[03:28] <ubotu> For an easy to use custom sources.list creator, visit http://ubuntulinux.nl/source-o-matic
[03:28] <Warbo> slavik: I tried it a few times on a few tarballs, but got an error. Someone in here said it segfaults when moving files or something
[03:28] <nikosgr> i prefer installking through synaptic
[03:28] <igge> umarmung: is it a free version? (just found a trial version there)
[03:28] <slavik> Warbo: did yours come from the repos?
[03:28] <nikosgr> rather than downloading and configuring tar.gz
[03:28] <joyrider> what's the URL for the newbieguide ??
[03:29] <slavik> !newbie
[03:29] <ubotu> slavik: Bugger all, I dunno. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[03:29] <umarmung> igge: well i have a free version. but i downloaded it more than a year ago, so maybe they changed it now
[03:29] <slavik> !new
[03:29] <ubotu> slavik: What? Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/
[03:29] <Warbo> nikosgr: Good on you. So many people start downloading crap from websites then asking "how do I install this program, which I haven't noticed is in the repos?"
[03:29] <slavik> yes
[03:29] <igge> umarmung: aha..
[03:29] <nikosgr> yes synaptic willt ake care of all dependencie doent it?
[03:29] <apokryphos> yes
[03:29] <umarmung> igge: i just checked the version, it's 5.2.x from 2001 :P
[03:30] <C> do i need a net connection to aptget install build-essiential?
[03:30] <Warbo> nikosgr: That's right. Also you can be pretty sure it will work on Ubuntu, and it will keep itself updated
[03:30] <nikosgr> yes
[03:30] <nikosgr> because vidalia eben i triued to confiure it
[03:30] <Inner|RE> what do i need to put m3u on an ipod using gtkpod
[03:30] <kingspawn> C: yes indeed.
[03:30] <C> oh
[03:30] <Warbo> C: If it isn't working it may be that you aren't typing apt-get (not aptget), but I think you do
[03:30] <nikosgr> it qwouils laso need soem qt libray i dotn knwo about
[03:31] <nikosgr> and tor
[03:31] <nikosgr> but hwo cna i update my sourc elist
[03:31] <nikosgr> i must find a greek repository server
[03:31] <nikosgr> that why ic an find packages right?
[03:31] <slavik> nikosgr: apt-get update
[03:31] <astro9040> hey does anyone know how do i get totem to play my movies
[03:31] <slavik> nikosgr: did you enable universe and multiverse?
[03:31] <C> so how would i go about installing the build essentials on a computer that doesn't have a net connection?
[03:31] <kingspawn> !restrictedformates
[03:31] <C> being the case
[03:31] <ubotu> kingspawn: Some people juggle geese. Try searching at http://ubuntu.cc.com.au/

[03:31] <slavik> nikosgr: you should
[03:32] <nikosgr> i didn almost configured anything
[03:32] <igge> umarmung: the one they have for download is 5.20 as well.. :)
[03:32] <Warbo> nikosgr: Your repositories can be from anywhere, but the closer they are the faster they download. BTW QT is the buttons and stuff that KDE uses
[03:32] <slavik> C: you can download the deb files and transfer them via CD or USB driver
[03:32] <C> can i install the build essential on another box then copy it?
[03:32] <C> slavik, awesome!
[03:32] <C> where are they stored?
[03:32] <slavik> C: that, too ... but there is a way to only download the packages
[03:32] <kingspawn> C: Yes. everything you install gets copied to /var/cache/apt
[03:32] <Warbo> C: Make sure you copy the .deb files (they will be in /var/cache/apt/archives) and not the files they create!
[03:32] <enzo> hi all
[03:32] <slavik> C: In synaptic, right before hitting OK, you can check the box to only download the stuff

[03:40] <nikosgr> is there a way to run a jpg image from console line?
[03:40] <DBO> Frogzoo, take that and multiply by a couple orders of 200
[03:40] <enzo> ok
[03:40] <slavik> nikosgr: run or view?
[03:40] <nikosgr> sorry i meant view
[03:41] <enzo> here 'tis
[03:41] <enzo> http://pastebin.com/682936
[03:41] <Warbo> nikosgr: Type your favourite viewer, then the filename. So: "eog /home/me/mypic"
[03:41] <Toma-> DBO: bad sectors? tried using fsck?
[03:41] <slavik> enzo: you have seen the light ;)
[03:41] <LinuxJones> slavik: search the wiki there are howto's on there
[03:41] <DBO> Toma-, I dont even have an hda, all my drives are SATA which means SCSI interface which means sda
[03:41] <nikosgr> Warbo: i dotn ahve a favourote viewer up until now
[03:41] <doms> were i can download kylix for ubuntu
[03:41] <eneried> sorry, i wasn't here, then i don't know if you answered me
[03:42] <nikosgr> caus ei dont kn ow eben one! :)
[03:42] <doms> were i can download kylix for ubuntu
[03:42] <Frogzoo> DBO: gut feel is disk's going bad - install smartmontools & test disk & make backups
[03:42] <DBO> Toma-, but I did think of that, and I did fsck em, they are quite clean
[03:42] <eneried> wich is better? ext2 or ext3 file system?
[03:42] <LinuxJones> doms: kylix has been discontinued hasn't it ?
[03:42] <nikosgr> ill try eog as you say
[03:42] <slavik> eneried: ext3
[03:42] <doms> why
[03:42] <eneried> LinuxJones, yep, discontinued, use KDevelop, and QT or glade
[03:42] <doms> why discontinued
[03:42] <DBO> Frogzoo, thats what I thought, so I gave the disks a serious going over, both come up 100% healthy in everything I throw at them
[03:42] <LinuxJones> doms: because there was no interest in it
[03:42] <Frogzoo> DBO: well if you don't have an hda, I guess that's different... - wierd
[03:42] <Toma-> DBO: could be udev or hal trying to make them hda type devices. and from that it will obviously think its bad if its an SATA drive. gmm
[03:42] <doms> are you sure
[03:43] <eneried> slavik, and can i access  that partition from my windows OS?
[03:43] <slavik> enzo: it doesn't show the drive in /media ?
[03:43] <Warbo> nikosgr: I used to prefer Kuickshow (from KDE) even though I use GNOME just because it has no control buttons, just the image, and you can choose the next and previous pics in a folder with the mouse wheel.  I just like the image)
[03:43] <slavik> eneried: not natively
[03:43] <LinuxJones> doms: there are tons of usefull dev tools for Linux development the most popular for Ubuntu is Python + pyGTK.
[03:43] <eneried> doms, we're sure, look at imprise or borland, they developed kylix in the past
[03:43] <toMte83a> hmm.. anyone here using Evelutions ?
[03:43] <slavik> windowsxp only know ntfs and fat/32
[03:44] <eneried> slavik, i have the ifs drives extension, but it seems that works better with ext2... and i dont know if ext2 is good enough
[03:44] <slavik> eneried: I read about drivers being available
[03:44] <joyrider> Is there a init command for Standby ?
[03:44] <nikosgr> Warbo: yes, eog is fine
[03:44] <enzo> slavik. well I do see it but can't open it..
[03:44] <eneried> slavik, do you know a good driver to access ext3?
[03:44] <slavik> eneried: no, sorry
[03:45] <slavik> enzo: did you try to go into it?
[03:45] <eneried> slavik, no prob, thanks ;)
[03:45] <enzo> says : mount: /dev/sda1: ne peut lire le super bloc
[03:45] <enzo> erreur: ne peut pas excuter pmoun
[03:45] <DBO> Frogzoo, Toma-, the other odd aspect is these errors are concentrated to a specific timespan, are NOT ongoing anymore, and seem somehow linked to specific types of network traffic
[03:45] <slavik> everything in /media is a directory
[03:45] <dt-oz-gc> Hi all. Does anyone else get phantom mouse clicks occurring quite often? Any solutions?
[03:45] <enzo> oh yeah...
[03:45] <eneried> does anybody know a good driver|extension to acces ext3 partitions from my windows XP?
[03:45] <slavik> enzo: translate it into english please
[03:45] <enzo> but to no avaik
[03:45] <enzo> avail *
[03:45] <Toma-> DBO: network traffic??????
[03:45] <enzo> /dev/sda1 : cant read super blac
[03:46] <enzo> Can't execute pmount
[03:46] <slavik> hmm
[03:46] <eneried> T_T
[03:46] <DBO> Toma-, your guess is as good as mine on that one.  But I kid you not, these errors showed up when I was testing a router's weakness to ARP poisoning
[03:46] <LinuxJones> doms: there is also boa-constructor which is modeled after borland Delphi but is designed to work with wxPython.
[03:46] <enzo> can we go pv on this topic?
[03:46] <DBO> (our Cisco guy gets to keep his job it seems)
[03:46] <slavik> DBO, Toma-, any guess on the usb drive issue?
[03:46] <Warbo> I get that error with pmount. I always mount from the command line (automounting stuff is fine, just not floppies and stuff which are manual)
[03:46] <slavik> enzo: no, others might be able to help
[03:46] <enzo> ok..
[03:47] <DBO> slavik, what issue?  Im sorry I wasnt doing yours...  but Im willing to help
[03:47] <Toma-> DBO: hotplug. try grepping for something about hda and hotplug...
[03:47] <eneried> doms: try glade and gtk+, or KDevelop and QT
[03:47] <slavik> enzo is trying to get a usb hard drive to work
[03:47] <doms> qt
[03:47] <Toma-> slavik: im not really reading. about to goto bed
[03:47] <slavik> something with pmount gives him errors
[03:47] <DBO> Toma-, no hotplug on this system
[03:47] <doms> were i can download qt for gnome
[03:47] <aphesz> eneried: try this app.. http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm
[03:47] <slavik> doms: in the repos
[03:47] <Toma-> DBO: so modules are getting loaded by themselves?
[03:47] <enzo> and dmesg talks about fat.. this disk is ext3
[03:47] <eneried> thanks :)
[03:48] <eneried> doms: add it from repositories
[03:48] <DBO> Toma-, no need for it really
[03:48] <doms> i mean the Qt GUI environment
[03:48] <DBO> actually wait... we just redid this box, it may still have hotplug
[03:48] <LinuxJones> doms: you might also want to look at wxglade (cross platform development using WxPython) as well.
[03:48] <Toran> I'm having problems building the latest version of Amarok, could someone please have a look? http://pastebin.ca/raw/51492
[03:48] <nikosgr> guys i cant configure m y source list
[03:48] <nikosgr> although ime reading the manul on how to do it through synaptric
[03:49] <doms> wxglade
[03:49] <doms> what site
[03:49] <Warbo> doms: QT GUI environment? KDE? You can get various theme-applying things if that is what you mean
[03:49] <nikosgr> A list of repositories is shown. Click the Settings button at the bottom and tick Show disabled software sources. Then click the Close button.
[03:49] <Toma-> DBO: yeh, my guess is something like udev, hal, or hotplug are loading this drive but dont recognise it as SATA...
[03:49] <doms> not gnome
[03:49] <enzo> I did a google search, & found nothing so I dropped in here...
[03:49] <eneried> doms: um, go directly to QT homepage, the developers are... Trolltech
[03:49] <doms> i used gnome now
[03:49] <Toma-> pesky automation.
[03:49] <LinuxJones> doms>> http://wxglade.sourceforge.net/
[03:49] <nikosgr> the re ius no show disabled software source
[03:49] <sk8az> please, can anyone help me with skype: i tried debian version - it said somethin' about archive unreadable, i tried another version, but it still does not work, can anyone tell me how to install skype or what am i doing wrong
[03:49] <eneried> i've to go, thanks guys ;)
[03:49] <doms> yes i know trolltech
[03:49] <doms> thats can be found n the Qt help site
[03:50] <eneried> doms: this is the place for QT,but i think there's enough QT packages on ubuntu repositories...
[03:50] <Toran> I'm having problems building the latest version of Amarok, could someone please have a look? http://pastebin.ca/raw/51492
[03:50] <slavik> enzo: hold on
[03:50] <DBO> Toma-, you might be right, but the network traffic link doesnt make sense, but here it is, I can reproduce it with ettercap...
[03:50] <doms> yes there are
[03:50] <doms> how can i run it in gnome environment
[03:50] <enzo> holding on... tightly.. :)
[03:51] <nikosgr> is there an easy way please to insall a server to sources list?
[03:51] <Warbo> nikosgr: In Synaptic Settings>Repositories>Add>Custom
[03:51] <doms> can i download and install wxglade debian package for (sarge) in my ubuntu box
[03:52] <Toma-> DBO: probably something to do withy the inner workings of module alias's and the automations. File a bug if you can find the root of this evil. However, i gtg :(
[03:52] <LinuxJones> doms: apt-get install wxglade
[03:52] <nikosgr> warbo yes
[03:52] <nikosgr> Enter the complete APT line of the channel that you want to add
[03:52] <nikosgr> i gues tha manul was old on this
[03:52] <jita> is there a kernel customized for athlon in ubuntu repo?
[03:53] <LinuxJones> doms: why would you want Debian sarge packages on Ubuntu ?
[03:53] <slavik> enzo: 'sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /media/usbdrive'
[03:53] <Jimmey__> jita, if it's 64 bit then yeah...If it's a 32 bit, I don't know.
[03:53] <slavik> enzo: try that
[03:53] <Warbo> nikosgr: That will be something like "deb http://www.thesite.org distro1 distro2 distro3"
[03:53] <sk8az> please, can anyone help me with skype: i tried debian version - it said somethin' about archive unreadable, i tried another version, but it still does not work, can anyone tell me how to install skype or what am i doing wrong
[03:53] <enzo> will do that.. brb
[03:53] <DBO> Toma-, thanks for the help on tracking this down, I nearly had a heart attack looking at my logs this morning
[03:53] <Warbo> BTW, I made that link up
[03:53] <jita> Jimmey__: its 32 :P
[03:53] <Jimmey__> slavik, yafray only comes as a sarge package..That's one I needed
[03:53] <nikosgr> Warbo: since iam greek i must find a greek server
[03:53] <Jimmey__> jita, maybe a 686 kernel, or something
[03:53] <doms> is their a repo for wxglade for ubuntu
[03:53] <slavik> what's yafray?
[03:53] <doms> is their a repo for wxglade for ubuntu
[03:53] <Jimmey__> slavik, blender plugin
[03:53] <Warbo> nikosgr: Try Google, search for "greek ubuntu repository"
[03:54] <LinuxJones> sk8az: there was a howto in the ubuntu forums have a peek there
[03:54] <slavik> doms: have you enabled universe and multiverse?
[03:54] <slavik> Jimmey__: what's it do?
[03:54] <doms> yes i hav
[03:54] <LinuxJones> doms: yes you must enable the universe repository
[03:54] <nikosgr> Warbo: thank you , many thanks
[03:54] <doms> my repo is change
[03:54] <jita> Jimmey__: there is 686 kernel?
[03:54] <doms> yes its enable
[03:54] <Jimmey__> slavik, http://jimmey.ath.cx/content/BASEPROF1Z0001.png
[03:54] <nikosgr> Warbo: youa re very helpfull to me :)
[03:54] <sk8az> LinuxJones: thx, i`ll take a look there
[03:54] <Warbo> nikosgr: no problem
[03:54] <Jimmey__> jita, yeah, it's called "linux-686"
[03:54] <DBO> does anyone know of a GOOD parametric modeller for linux?  something similar to CATIA
[03:54] <Warbo> nikosgr: (I'm bored)
[03:55] <Jimmey__> jita, try uname -a to see which kernel would best suit, maybe?
[03:55] <deeps_> Hi everyone
[03:55] <Jimmey__> deeps_, hey
[03:55] <Toma-> DBO: i can imagine :D try giving dapper live cd a spin, and see if its fixed. otherwise, get onto it in the bug lists, coz this is really something that could send bells ringing in system admins on server and such!
[03:55] <enzo> ok... that works.. doesnt show up on desktop, but got it in file system in /media... (the usbdrive folder didn't exist, so I did it fast & dirty...
[03:55] <LinuxJones> deeps_: welcome
[03:55] <jita> Jimmey__: one more thing, is there 2.6.16 kernel in repo ?
[03:55] <nikosgr> Warbo: who isnt? it happens to me all the time :)
[03:55] <slavik> Jimmey__: nice picture ... new house?
[03:55] <doms> what in breezy badge updates or binary
[03:55] <Toma-> cya all!
[03:55] <deeps_> I need some help regarding Azureus
[03:55] <slavik> jita: no
[03:55] <deeps_> can anyone help me?
[03:55] <Jimmey__> slavik, I made that with Yafray
[03:55] <doms> wer i can add the univers repo
[03:55] <doms> to install wxglade
[03:55] <slavik> Jimmey__: so yafray is a camera? :P
[03:56] <enzo> Goog, I can now get back all the breezy configs files.. they ARE compatible with dapper ??
[03:56] <DBO> Toma-, I can't get this specific setup for testing again till next friday, but I will.  I need a shower and new pants now
[03:56] <deeps_> LinuxJones,  can u help me??
[03:56] <LinuxJones> doms: sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list
[03:56] <Jimmey__> slavik, not quite =-P
[03:56] <slavik> enzo: so that mount thing worked?
[03:56] <LinuxJones> deeps_: if I can what's up ?
[03:56] <slavik> Jimmey__: nice modeling job though ... I wish I was as good
[03:56] <enzo> yep.. i can now access my old ubuntu disk...
[03:56] <slavik> :D
[03:56] <deeps_> I am getting some NAT error
[03:56] <enzo> went from breezy to dapper
[03:56] <deeps_> what can i do now?
[03:56] <doms> then
[03:56] <jimcooncat> !tell doms about universe
[03:56] <Jimmey__> slavik, I've been told that the sofa looks like a brick - All the models are basically cubes.
[03:56] <doms> what should i add
[03:56] <slavik> enzo: not all the config files would work
[03:57] <enzo> however, I'd like to know why It doesn't automount..
[03:57] <enzo> hmm
[03:57] <slavik> Jimmey__: sofa looks "new"
[03:57] <LinuxJones> deeps_: your sharing your internet connection but are having random troubles with connections ?
[03:57] <Jimmey__> deeps_, try configuring your router?
[03:57] <Toran> I'm having problems building the latest version of Amarok, could someone please have a look? http://pastebin.ca/raw/51492
[03:57] <enzo> well... how bout passwd.. I've got 20 users on this server
[03:57] <keleus> having trouble with printing...
[03:57] <deeps_> i am able to download using it
[03:57] <enzo> would like to get passwd file
[03:57] <slavik> enzo: those should be compatible
[03:57] <deeps_> but, am getting yellow colored smiley
[03:57] <enzo> & get the right users to right home owner..
[03:57] <keleus> trying to print to a windows ME machine. Cups is saying something about backend failing
[03:58] <deeps_> so, unable to download at higher speeds
[03:58] <enzo> here's the setup
[03:58] <deeps_> what can i do now?
[03:58] <slavik> enzo: things like hotplug aren't ... since there is no hotplug in dapper :D
[03:58] <enzo> I've got a 10 gig disk for OS
[03:58] <enzo> and 200 gig disk for home
[03:58] <Jimmey__> deeps_, using firefox? Bit-torrent?
[03:58] <enzo> when I do an install
[03:58] <keleus> for that matter i couldnt print directly, the jobs would just stop every time i tried to start them
[03:58] <LinuxJones> deeps_: you mean using downloading bittorrent files or other p2p apps ?
[03:58] <enzo> I always keep the last 10 gig disk for config files
[03:58] <deeps_> i am using Bittorrent
[03:59] <deeps_> yeah linuxjones, am dl bt files
[03:59] <keleus> anyone know how to convert a .ps file to a .pdf?
[03:59] <jita> if i want to use 2.6.15 kernel, do i need to get it from daper repo?
[03:59] <deeps_> AZUREUS
[03:59] <slavik> enzo: you are going beyond me :(
[03:59] <LinuxJones> deeps_: you need to configure your firewall to allow a few ports for bittorrent
[03:59] <Jimmey__> deeps_, you're going to have to configure your router, and firewall. For the router, try www.portforward.com. For the firewall, try Firestarter
[03:59] <enzo> that worked kool when I went from mandrake to fedora.. but fedora to ubuntu, well, I had to redo all..
[03:59] <slavik> keleus: look for ps2pdf ... there should be something available
[03:59] <snoopy> Hi, there!
[03:59] <deeps_> i disabled the firewall
[03:59] <enzo> lol
[03:59] <enzo> oh.. well
[03:59] <enzo> :/
[03:59] <Jimmey__> snoopy, Hey
[03:59] <nikosgr> Warbo: ic an find one :(
[03:59] <nikosgr> i cant
[03:59] <Frogzoo> keleus: ps2pdf
[03:59] <Warbo> jita: I would only do that if you upgrade EVERYTHING to Dapper
[03:59] <deeps_> i have been using firestarter
[03:59] <enzo> Thank you for the strait mount :))
[03:59] <slavik> enzo: the passwd should be transferable I think ... but I won't vouvh for that
[03:59] <deeps_> right now, i disabled it..
[03:59] <toMte83a> anyone knows about a nice calendar?? for Ubuntu / Linux... ?
[04:00] <snoopy> i wanna give dapper a try, but i can't install with network as it won't find my usbnet card
[04:00] <deeps_> still am getting the same problem
[04:00] <slavik> np
[04:00] <jita> Warbo: otherwise kee on using 2.6.12?
[04:00] <jita> kee/keep
[04:00] <Jimmey__> deeps_, that wont disable the firewall. Configure firestarter by adding a policy to let the required port be open.
[04:00] <LinuxJones> deeps_: ok you need to allow these ports access >> 6881-6889
[04:00] <slavik> toMte83a: like apple's ical?
[04:00] <Warbo> nikosgr: Does it really have to be greek? The packages are the same, just set your locale to greek and they will all be in greek
[04:00] <slavik> I think evolution has a calender thing
[04:00] <deeps_> yeah.. i did it n tried
[04:00] <enzo> I wonder if passwd is the only file ?.. I'm also thinkg about transfering the samba folder straight over..
[04:00] <jarle> I have moved my /lib dir to another partition so now I have booted a LiveCD to setup a symlink to the new partition. Should the symlink point to where the dir is located NOW or should it point to where is is mounted upon booting Ubuntu_
[04:00] <deeps_> after all such efforts, i now remain clueless
[04:00] <LinuxJones> deeps_: did you re-start firestarter ?
[04:00] <slavik> enzo: program configs should tansfer over
[04:00] <Jimmey__> deeps_, not just firestarter, but your router aswell
[04:01] <enzo> I'm afraid of having probs with pre-existing home directories not having the right user numbers..
[04:01] <keleus> i'm getting this on the printer's status page. "/usr/lib/cups/backend/smb failed"
[04:01] <nikosgr> warbo: no they dotn have to be in greek
[04:01] <toMte83a> slavik dont heard of that one either, just something to whrite some important happenings and dates in...
[04:01] <Jimmey__> jarie, the mount point, I think
[04:01] <enzo> or group numbers
[04:01] <slavik> enzo: system configs too, you just have to make sure what is not in dapper that was in breezy
[04:01] <deeps_> k.. i will try now
[04:01] <nikosgr> but i dotn even know of a foreign one
[04:01] <slavik> toMte83a: try evolution, I think it has a calendar program
[04:01] <LinuxJones> deeps_: as Jimmey__ points out if your behind a router you will have to do it there as well via your webbrowser configuration utility.
[04:01] <enzo> And I still have this USB problem not wanting to work on hardisks
[04:01] <enzo> but I'm gonna take this step by step..
[04:01] <Warbo> nikosgr: Just use another server from Europe. Ubuntu actually chooses the closest one to you (well, it set mine to UK) during install
[04:02] <deeps_> sorry guys.. am dumb at all these things..
[04:02] <enzo> Leeme try to x-fer the config files & passwd.
[04:02] <slavik> enzo: add the line to fstab ... read up on specifics though
[04:02] <Jimmey__> deeps_, usually available at the same address as your default gateway ( mine's <IP_ADDRESS> )
[04:02] <nikosgr> Warbo: can you name one please?
[04:02] <Jimmey__> deeps_, I'll talk you through, if you want.
[04:02] <deeps_> k sure
[04:02] <deeps_> :)
[04:02] <enzo> will do that, as long as I need this disk.. prob is that I have other sdisks, they're fat32...
[04:02] <slavik> deeps_: there is no dumb in linux ... there is unknowing ... dumb is when you don't want to learn :P
[04:02] <LinuxJones> deeps_: your not dumb, it's just something new :)
[04:02] <Jimmey__> slavik, true
[04:03] <enzo> I use external disk to backup home directory.. just in case..
[04:03] <nikosgr> ill try deb http://ftp.ntua.gr dapper main
[04:03] <slavik> and Jimmey__ is dumb :P
[04:03] <nikosgr> to se if that works
[04:03] <Warbo> nikosgr: Here is my dapper line in my sources.list "deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ dapper main restricted universe multiverse"
[04:03] <whaley_work> slavik speaks the truth
[04:03] <deeps_> thanks guys
[04:03] <deeps_> :)
[04:03] <toMte83a> slavik yeah, Evolution works kinda good..
[04:03] <enzo> averyone here uses the server as backup.. if they're disks fail, they get it all back
[04:03] <slavik> then elect me as president
[04:03] <nikosgr> warbo i must add this to the field in custom in synaptic?
[04:03] <Jimmey__> slavik, thanks =-S XoD
[04:03] <slavik> enzo: offsite tape backups ;)
[04:03] <enzo> and I keep a regular backup on external disk... just in case a fire breaks out.. ya never know...
[04:03] <whaley_work> slavik: vote has been cast for '08
[04:03] <whaley_work> :)
[04:03] <cahill_john> WARBO u there
[04:04] <slavik> Jimmey__: any time ;)
[04:04] <Warbo> nikosgr: That will give you standard Dapper, as well as Dapper Universe and Dapper Multiverse. If you put it in the custom field
[04:04] <cahill_john> i have another problem
[04:04] <slavik> whaley_work: only I am not US born :(
[04:04] <cahill_john> WARBO ?
[04:04] <Jimmey__> slavik, neither Arnold Schawrtzerthingy
[04:04] <nikosgr> i will then :)
[04:04] <Warbo> cahill_john: Hello. (Why are you so impatient :))
[04:04] <enzo> But, my ext usb disks just don't get accepted... my lil usb flashdisks work fine
[04:04] <cahill_john> i thot u werent there
[04:04] <snoopy> i wanna give dapper a try, but i can't install with network as it won't find my usbnet card
[04:04] <enzo> butr the harddisks in usb case, nope..
[04:04] <slavik> well, we will violently overthrow the gov't ... by running naked across the white house lawn :D
[04:04] <snoopy> ups
[04:04] <keleus> q
[04:04] <cahill_john> yeah i need to ask u how to configure my DNS server
[04:04] <snoopy> sorry for the repost... wrong keys
[04:05] <Warbo> cahill_john: Sorry. I have ABSOLUTLEY no idea about DNS
[04:05] <cahill_john> both the preferred and the alternate
[04:05] <slavik> enzo: it might be something with the controller (ATA to USB translator)
[04:05] <cahill_john> ok anyone in there configuring DNS
[04:05] <Jimmey__> cahill_john, are you using a router?
[04:05] <cahill_john> no
[04:05] <cahill_john> but i need to config my DNS
[04:05] <slavik> cahill_john: you are setting up your own DNS server? or you need one?
[04:05] <cahill_john> lemme google
[04:05] <Jimmey__> Okay, do you happen to have a Windows machine in your house, or access to one, that has access to the internet?
[04:05] <slavik> ahh
[04:05] <cahill_john> yeah
[04:06] <cahill_john> linux is on the same system
[04:06] <LinuxJones> cahill_john: best to hit google for a dns howto there are tons of them
[04:06] <cahill_john> ok thanx
[04:06] <Jimmey__> cahill_john, in a command prompt in Windows, type ipconfig/all
[04:06] <Jimmey__> It will tell you both
[04:06] <slavik> btw, network manager is freaking awesome
[04:06] <nikosgr> warbo: cna you plz exaplin it?
[04:06] <nikosgr> that line
[04:07] <slavik> ubuntu lost 1 user, btw ...
[04:07] <slavik> my friend could not get a hard drive working in ubuntu ... :(
[04:07] <Jimmey__> But could with other operating systems?
[04:07] <slavik> for some reason his other drive was getting detected ...
[04:08] <slavik> they are both on the same IDE channel, too

[04:08] <Jimmey__> ubotu, tell Jimmey__ about thankyou
[04:08] <Jimmey__> Damn
[04:08] <Warbo> nikosgr: OK. The deb" bit tells it to get regular packages (deb-src would get source code) the address tells it where to get them from. The dapper tells it the distribution, the main is the main ubuntu section, restricted is for non-free (not open source) stuff like nvidia drivers. universe tells it to add universe, the huge list of free packages which are not supported by Canonical and finally multiverse adds the list of no

[04:09] <slavik> DBO: no ... ubuntu is best!!!
[04:09] <Jimmey__> cahill_john, in an MS-DOS prompt, 'ipconfig/all' will tell you
[04:09] <slavik> his other choice is gentoo
[04:09] <whaley_work> hmmm, this reminds me:  is there a list of laptops that are known to work very well with ubuntu?

[04:10] <DBO> whaley_work, pretty much everything works, the widescreens take a bit extra configuration sometimes, but its not a deal breaker
[04:10] <Frogzoo> whaley_work: just be sure it's an nvid vid card, not ati
[04:11] <slavik> Frogzoo: I resent that statement
