[08:27] <Lunar_Lamp> youkilldkennedy, try going to "about:config" in firefox, earch for "ipv6" and switch the option to "off" (or on, if it's off)/.
[08:27] <Oni-Dracula> Cyrus25801, yes it is beryl but theres not much more to see....
[08:27] <parag0n> does anyone know why scripts have suddently stopped working in ubuntu feisty?

[08:29] <angie> hola jdski
[08:29] <Oni-Dracula> Cyrus25801, good luck with that, I have absolutely no experience in editing permissions in any linux file systems
[08:29] <Oni-Dracula> chmod may be the command to help
[08:30] <angie> im studie
[08:30] <angie> and you?
[08:30] <elias_> Could anyone tell me how to install a .sh file?
[08:30] <Cyrus25801> angie: pls go to brizillian irc. search the net

[08:30] <angie> please help me im not speak more english
[08:30] <angie> ahh ok
[08:31] <ompaul> angie, looking at this channel and - this is a support channel you can go to #ubuntu-offtopic and see if they will talk
[08:31] <rukuartic> angie: here
[08:31] <Cyrus25801> can anyone help me with setting permissions on a usb hdd drv
[08:31] <rukuartic> angie: there is a channel for brazilians
[08:31] <ompaul> angie, #ubuntu-br

[08:31] <wulfe> can anybody help me with a #D desktop
[08:31] <angie> im understanding but i don?t speak
[08:31] <Lunar_Lamp> elias_, .sh usually denotes "shell script" and it doesn't need installing, just running. "./nameoffile.sh" should be enough, once it is made executable by "chmod +x nameoffile.sh" if required.
[08:31] <Cyrus25801> angie: then type
[08:32] <angie> ahh ok i go to #ubunutu-br
[08:32] <rukuartic> angie: yes
[08:32] <Cyrus25801> angie: yes
[08:32] <windmill> Hmm yet again fedora core 4 wins out over Ubuntu edgy...   I really would like to ditch this fedora install but I keep finding boken stuff in ubuntu

I did "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" first with "nvidia" driver - didntt work, then with the "nv" driver it did. But I need the original nvidia driver to get my dual monitor working again. Can anybody help me please?
[08:34] <youser> hey anyoe kknow why upgrade to edgy does not work?
[08:34] <aimtrainer> *restarted
[08:34] <kaze> alguien de espaa?

[08:34] <youser> thats if it gets past authentication
[08:35] <rukuartic> windmill: there's so many things that could be wrong with that, its like asking "why isn't my car running?"
[08:35] <angie> por lo menos hay alguien que yo puedo entender jajajajajaja
[08:35] <floobit> yo puedo
[08:35] <kaze> jaja

[08:37] <petrus> I just installed Ubuntu 6.06...in the install routine it allowed me to set a non-root password, which is fine...but I need root currently to copy something to a floppy, and I don't know what the root password is
[08:37] <rukuartic> windmill: have you sucessfully used other usb drives with your system?
[08:37] <petrus> can anyone tell me how to get it or reset it?

[08:37] <petrus> thanks ruk
[08:37] <rukuartic> petrus: In essence, there is no root user. To become root, "sudo -i"
[08:37] <rukuartic> petrus: no problem :)
[08:38] <aimtrainer> linxeh, got my qry?
[08:38] <ompaul> !sudo | petrus
[08:38] <windmill> rukuartic, but not recently, I'll try one now
[08:38] <ubotu> petrus: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:38] <linxeh> aimtrainer: nope
[08:38] <rukuartic> ompaul: beatcha
[08:38] <Cyrus25801> rukuartic: can you help me with drv permissions

[08:38] <aimtrainer> oh thanks

[08:49] <K1GPL> just teasing :)
[08:49] <garryFre> K1GPL Hehe
[08:49] <tobias_> kitche: you know Sunglass for Ubuntu? =)
[08:49] <rukuartic> windmill2: nnn could you /msg me that?
[08:49] <Shane-S> where do I set my DNS entry eth0.conf or if.conf?
[08:49] <_Tom_> pintree: 64bit should be better (you can use more than 4GB of System memory for a start) but it's only the software that really holds it back, if at all.
[08:49] <VrilutZa> need help how to limite per ip bandwidthd

[08:50] <pintree> syzygyBSD let you konw how?
[08:50] <tobias_> why doesnt .deb work for me? i got ubuntu 6.x
[08:50] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: Whats happening?
[08:50] <syzygyBSD> pintree: if it works for you let me know the version
[08:50] <intengu> control centre not working when using gnome-main-menu (uslab) feisty herd3
[08:50] <h1st0> tobias_: explain doens't work
[08:50] <kitche> tobias_: might be for debian?

[08:50] <aalhamad> whats the package for .chm file? -----------------------------------------------plz help
[08:50] <floobit> any way to get your IRC client to flash or beep when someone types your handle?
[08:50] <Shane-S> _Tom_: ty
[08:50] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: it looks like when it is trying to start x it freezes
[08:50] <kitche> aalhamad: xchm is one
[08:50] <tobias_> i open a .deb
[08:50] <tobias_> then it loads it
[08:50] <aalhamad> thanks
[08:50] <pintree>  Is all the software you want available for the AMD64 platform? don't understand this question
[08:50] <h1st0> floobit: depends on which irc client
[08:50] <floobit> gaim
[08:50] <tobias_> but the window stays grey
[08:50] <_Tom_> Anyone around who can handle a grub question?
[08:51] <tobias_> and then it closes again
[08:51] <h1st0> floobit: well if someone sends you a private message it will opena  new window
[08:51] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: yes it is /dev/sda1. what do i do now
[08:51] <syzygyBSD> unfortunatly I can't find any debugging output so I can't find a specific reason
[08:51] <floobit> right
[08:51] <Advanced> w00p
[08:51] <ompaul> Cyrus25801, it is the other side that is what you need to know
[08:51] <h1st0> floobit: if someone sents you a mesage in a channel it will flash on the task bar.
[08:51] <floobit> h1st0: besides that
[08:51] <Zta> ls -al
[08:51] <floobit> ok
[08:51] <Advanced> everything is ready for loading without the cd directly from my hdd!
[08:51] <Advanced> now all i need is the iso
[08:51] <Advanced> x.x
[08:52] <h1st0> floobit: but check around in preferences
[08:52] <tobias_> kitche: it starts the packet installer
[08:52] <Advanced> 1 and a half hours
[08:52] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: try safe graphics mode
[08:52] <pintree> the currrent version i have been sent-yet not installed is ver 6.06 LTS
[08:52] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: tried
[08:52] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: ok i see, now what
[08:52] <GaiaX11> !ask | _Tom_
[08:52] <ubotu> _Tom_: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[08:52] <BrianG> aalhamad: gnochm
[08:52] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: what video card?
[08:52] <Seabass> hi I have a problem with package dependencies, could someone please help?
[08:52] <Seabass> libglu1-mesa-dev
[08:52] <Seabass> Depends: libglu1-mes(=6.5.1~20060817-0ubuntu3) but 6.5.1+cvs20060824 is to be installed
[08:52] <ompaul> Cyrus25801, tell me?
[08:52] <tobias_> kitche: it starts the packet installer, but it stays grey.. then it laods the packet.. stays grey then it closes again
[08:52] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: tried it in both the 32 and 64 bit, tried to disable apic too
[08:52] <_Tom_> GaiaX11: I've already asked it but no-one was really listening :p
[08:52] <ompaul> Seabass, don't paste -- put it all on one line thanks
[08:52] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: ATI X800 pro AGP
[08:52] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: /media/Jacques
[08:53] <_Tom_> When using grub, if my /boot is mounted in the first logical position .. Eg. parition 5. Would grub see this as (hd0,4) or (hd0,1)? Keeping in mind that there is only one primary paritition preceeding it.
[08:53] <jumburrito> anyone know why I can't get install candidate for w32codecs?
[08:53] <kitche> !Seveas
[08:53] <ubotu> Seveas has a popular 3rd party repository for several packages. More info (and mirrors) on http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[08:53] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: should I swap it out to see if it works with a more generic one?
[08:53] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: it isn't in the fstab file if that helps at all
[08:53] <tobias_> kitche: ? =9
[08:53] <Seabass> okay, sorry
[08:53] <jumburrito> I'm using Seveas
[08:53] <HymnToLife> jumburrito, most likely you don't have the correct repoq
[08:53] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: Try disabling PCMCIA
[08:53] <GaiaX11> !grub | _Tom_
[08:53] <ubotu> _Tom_: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[08:53] <ompaul> Cyrus25801, and what does   sudo -R chown username:username /media/Jacques
[08:53] <jumburrito> I download livdvdcss2 from Seveas
[08:53] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: ya, did that, but it doesn't hang there
[08:54] <kitche> tobias_: can't really help you there try dpkg to install it
[08:54] <ompaul> Cyrus25801, that makes it available to your user
[08:54] <dm> h1st0 how does one do that? im looking to do it to save batt power
[08:54] <intengu> control centre not working feisty herd3 using uslab any ideas
[08:54] <Shane-S> another noob question, you restart your networks/DNS entries with what?
[08:54] <holycow> Seveas, rocks
[08:54] <holycow> love that repo
[08:54] <h1st0> dm: well with the install disk there is a boot option you can pass.
[08:54] <dm> intengu */join ubuntu+1
[08:54] <jumburrito> well what causes this problem I'm having?
[08:54] <Shane-S> like I just altered my resolv.conf and need to reset the interfaces
[08:54] <dm> h1st0 ah
[08:54] <dm> h1st0 option in BUM?>
[08:54] <pintree> syzygyBSD still don't know how you want me to let you know
[08:55] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: well maybe try a more generic video card.  Or switch xorg.conf over to vesa
[08:55] <syzygyBSD> oh, how? just post in here
[08:55] <h1st0> dm: you can blacklist the module
[08:55] <intengu> dm: thanks
[08:55] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: how can I switch the xorg before boot?
[08:55] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: it tells me that -R is a illegal option
[08:55] <kaze> alguien quiere practicar su espaol conmigo? se me da muy bien
[08:55] <graft> hi - do sources with apt-get source already come with the diff applied?
[08:55] <Chankster> is there anyway to list the dependencies of a binary file?
[08:55] <dm> intengu i know its not the answer to your quesiton, but its the right place to look
[08:55] <biberao> hi
[08:55] <graft> i.e. they're pre-patched?
[08:55] <biberao> im making a computer to be only accessed by ssh but it asks me for a keyboard its possible to make other way?
[08:55] <pintree> syzygyBSD post in here as I am doing now? what if you're not here when i do so?
[08:55] <ompaul> Cyrus25801, sorry:  sudo chown -R username:username /media/Jacques    -- btw username is your username
[08:55] <ran> how do i mount a ext3 partion so i can read and write to it?
[08:56] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: well there are several ways... Boot off of install cd then mount the drive and change it.  Isn't ther e a recovery mode on your grub list?
[08:56] <syzygyBSD> pintree: I will be sure I am..
[08:56] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: how did you install by the way?
[08:56] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: i figured it would be my user name
[08:56] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: oh.. sorry, these problems are all from booting from install cds
[08:56] <GaiaX11> kaze: Va a (go to) #ubuntu-es
[08:56] <pintree> you're on 24 hours? ;-)
[08:56] <mc44> biberao: what asks you for a keyboard?
[08:57] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: ahh Okay,  Well try turning off ACPI and PCMCIA
[08:57] <syzygyBSD> pintree: no, but if you have my name in it it will go into another window just with messages to me
[08:57] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: PCMCIA was the one that was hanging me up for whatever reason.
[08:57] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: even though I don't have it.
[08:57] <Chankster> is there anyway to list the dependencies of a binary file?
[08:57] <pintree> syzygyBSDI have not installed it yet. I am writing to you now via WIndows XP (But shh don't tell anyone)
[08:57] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: k, I will see if that works, do you know the boot parameters off the top of your head?
[08:57] <_Tom_> Thanks GaiaX11
[08:58] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: thank you so much. but do i need to do that every time i plug in my usb hdd
[08:58] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: no but its on the options screen
[08:58] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: what ver. of buntu you trying?
[08:58] <syzygyBSD> h1st0: must have missed it, thanks for you help
[08:58] <ompaul> Cyrus25801, not unless you change the ownership when you move it elsewhere
[08:58] <GaiaX11> _Tom_: Yaw
[08:58] <pintree> syzygyBSD Just sop u know this is my 1st time using an IRC
[08:58] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: it took me a while to find it too.
[08:58] <syzygyBSD> 6.06 32 bit or newest 64 bit
[08:58] <Cyrus25801> ompaul: cool thanx
[08:58] <syzygyBSD> tried them both
[08:59] <h1st0> syzygyBSD: Yeah see if that works I know it was causing hell with my system.
[08:59] <Trixsey> GAIM, XChat and Firefox crashes every now and then... I've got some bugs in GAIM and Evolution too. Is Ubuntu really this unstable to you guys? I'm on Edgy
[08:59] <gordonjcp> Trixsey: not for me
[08:59] <Pie-rate> Trixsey: no, it isn't. sounds like a hardware issue
[08:59] <h1st0> Trixsey: Edgy does have bugs.
[08:59] <_Tom_> Even the Live CD isn't that buggy.
[08:59] <pintree> syzygyBSD So the question is, HOw do I get you're name in it? I don't even know how people are including names in the cobnversations here--I am doing so by cutting and pasting
[08:59] <h1st0> Trixsey: Have you tried dapper?
[09:00] <gordonjcp> Trixsey: I'd try memtest86, and make sure you're not overclocking your PC
[09:00] <syzygyBSD> pintree: type the first couple letters then press tab
[09:00] <Trixsey> h1st0, I used dapper before but I had some issues then as well
[09:00] <_Tom_> pintree: Type the first few letters of the name and use tab to complete.
[09:00] <jumburrito> I don't understand this crap with w32codecs!!!
[09:00] <Trixsey> I have some PCI-E issues with Edgy right now
[09:00] <gordonjcp> Trixsey: overclocking has a far greater effect on stability than speed
[09:00] <Trixsey> gordonjcp, this is a laptop dude, I aint overclocking it :p
[09:00] <h1st0> Trixsey: well if you were having issues with dapper then I would definately do a memtest and start poking around at the hardware.  Because Dapper is pretty damned solid.
[09:00] <pintree> syzygyBSD, OK cool--in your case i needed 3 but i got the point
[09:01] <Trixsey> How about Feisty SVN? I heard they were working on better hardware support
[09:01] <pintree> syzygyBSD,  Still need to know how to let you know personally once iinstall the 64bit version
[09:01] <Trixsey> I ran memtest
[09:01] <Trixsey> for like
[09:01] <Trixsey> 24 hours
[09:01] <Trixsey> no problems there
[09:01] <h1st0> Trixsey: I'm running fiesty now but you are going to see some bugs its alpha
[09:01] <h1st0> Trixsey: and yes better hw support and network manager etc...
[09:02] <syzygyBSD> pintree: "syzygyBSD: it worked for me to install the 64-bit version"
[09:02] <syzygyBSD> I will see it
[09:02] <Trixsey> h1st0, ok.. whats new in Feisty except better hw support?
[09:02] <Fraj> hi
[09:02] <h1st0> Trixsey: join #ubuntu+1 we'll talk there.
[09:02] <Trixsey> ok
[09:02] <pintree> syzygyBSD, OK so u just wanna know if t works for me too? is this correct?
[09:02] <boitono> Are there any file size limitations using samba and smbmount?
[09:02] <wulfe> can anybody help me setting up a 3d desktop on a laptop ?
[09:02] <syzygyBSD> pintree: yes
[09:03] <orz^> how can i set OpenGL as engine in wine ?
[09:03] <GaiaX11> Trixsey: I had no lucky in using edgy. So I am still running dapper. And everything works greatly :-) I will wait for feisty to have a leap and upgrade from dapper to it.
[09:03] <pintree> syzygyBSD, OK got it. now back to how i can let u know personally
[09:03] <pintree> HOw?
[09:03] <riley> is this the place for complete newbies?
[09:03] <Chankster> i keep getting this error "bash: ./sb: cannot execute binary file" any ideas?
[09:03] <kitche> GaiaX11: then you will have many breakages :)
[09:03] <mc44> riley: for anyone :)
[09:03] <syzygyBSD> pintree: just msg me when it works
[09:03] <riley> great!
[09:04] <GaiaX11> kitche: Have you tried to up from dapper to feisty?
[09:04] <pintree> syzygyBSD, OK sorry for my ignorance again but to msg you I need to do what? how?
[09:04] <mc44> riley: just ask your question
[09:04] <riley> so, for starters, in the terminal, i know how to edit permissions (i've done so on other machines before), but its not letting me do that now
[09:04] <syzygyBSD> pintree: /msg syzygyBSD my message
[09:04] <mc44> riley: what error o you get?
[09:05] <riley> this is the first install i've ever done
[09:05] <kitche> GaiaX11: no but I know if you upgrade a certain way in Linux you might get broken system
[09:05] <modisch> the most recent update has caused XFree86-DRI to stop working for me in Xgl/fglrx
[09:05] <modisch> Does anyone know how I can revert to the older versions of both?
[09:05] <riley> Operation not permitted
[09:06] <riley> should i be in bash or bin or something?
[09:06] <mc44> riley: what command are you running?
[09:06] <ciaron> i'm having serious samba performance issues, copying from a linux share to xp is dead slow, any ideas?
[09:06] <GaiaX11> kitche: Now your answer is better: "I might". But ...
[09:06] <pintree> syzygyBSD, So let me see if I get this straight. I want to let you know that for example, "mom says all is fine" then I would type, " /msg syzygyBSD mom says all is fine"  is this correct?
[09:06] <riley> chmod +w usr
[09:06] <riley> i want to install tunderbird
[09:06] <bizkit> I forgot my root password...what should I do?
[09:06] <notgod> ciaron: what speed are you getting?  what type of network?
[09:06] <syzygyBSD> pintree: try it
[09:06] <ompaul> !sudo | bizkit
[09:06] <ubotu> bizkit: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:06] <notgod> bizkit: can you sudo?
[09:07] <Chankster> i keep getting this error "bash: ./sb: cannot execute binary file" any ideas?
[09:07] <pintree> I thought I just did
[09:07] <[BTF] Chm0d> riley: in console type sudo apt-get install mozilla-thunderbird
[09:07] <hartsantler> is it possible to install ubuntu and dual boot it with windows Vista, without reformatting?  i do not have the Vista install disc
[09:07] <ciaron> notgod: 100base lan, copying from a samba share to an xp machine, takes an hour to copy a 700 meg file
[09:07] <hairulfr> Anyone know anything about mac? Coz I'm trying to help my mother transfer a file to her phone over bluetooth from a powerbook g4, how do you send from the mac to the phone?
[09:07] <bizkit> ubotu:thanks
[09:07] <PHoeNiGoRe> hartsantler, Don't install vista :)
[09:07] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[09:07] <riley> oh, cool. what is sudo?
[09:08] <notgod> ciaron: a single file, or a 700 mb directory with many files?
[09:08] <modisch> is there a logfile for the update manager anywhere?
[09:08] <mc44> !sudo | riley
[09:08] <ubotu> riley: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:08] <ciaron> notgod: single file
[09:08] <hartsantler> PHoeNiGoRe, i hate vista to, but its preinstalled, and for work i have to keep it
[09:08] <IdleOne> !vista | hartsantler
[09:08] <ubotu> hartsantler: vista is the new operating system by the evil overlords from Redmond. For more information, see http://www.badvista.org
[09:08] <spiderworm> anyone else found that their machine started running extremely slowly sometime in the past week?
[09:08] <pintree> syzygyBSD, I just tried it--i see it but does this mean you just got a private message? If yes can you do the same to me so i see what you're getting?
[09:09] <IdleOne> !dualboot | hartsantler
[09:09] <ubotu> hartsantler: Dual boot instructions:  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WindowsDualBootHowTo (x86/AMD64) - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot (Macintosh)
[09:09] <notgod> ciaron: and it's directly connected to the same lan?
[09:09] <ciaron> notgod: yep
[09:09] <PHoeNiGoRe> hartsantler, why not do you use vmware
[09:09] <PHoeNiGoRe> ?
[09:09] <brann> a faq on enemy territory told me to do this " sudo echo "quake3.x86 0 0 direct" > /proc/asound/card0/pcm0p/oss" to get sound but i got a "permission denied" error message... since i've added a leading sudo, i don't understand how this can be possible
[09:10] <notgod> ciaron: it's an XP server?  or linux server?
[09:10] <MsK`> hi
[09:10] <ciaron> notgod: linux, runnung samba
[09:10] <MsK`> i activated suspend to ram when lid closed on my laptop. suspend to ram was working using K menu. after a test, the screen was black, i re-closed my screen and re-open, i was on the login screen, now when i login, X restarts... (kubuntu)
[09:10] <notgod> ciaron: so the client is XP?
[09:10] <notgod> ciaron: just getting the network worked out in my head.  :)
[09:10] <tobias_> aaaand here is my question =) isnt lg3d-jdk @ the ubuntu srvrs?
[09:10] <POVaddct> brann: the redirection ">" still takes place in the calling shell, so sudo has no effect
[09:10] <MsK`> any idea ?
[09:10] <ciaron> notgod: yep client XP, server linux
[09:10] <h1st0> no
[09:11] <pintree> syzygyBSD,  it's 4:15 AM where I am and need to go to bed--am waiting 4 ur reply
[09:11] <riley> how do i change the command for something in terminal? i.e, instead of having to type the default "mozilla-thunderbird &", i'd rather type "email"
[09:11] <Kyral> riley: alias email="mozilla-thunderbird &"
[09:12] <Kyral> riley: put it in your .bashrc to make it permanent
[09:12] <POVaddct> brann: try sudo bash -c "echo ... > ..."
[09:12] <riley> thankyou
[09:12] <notgod> ciaron: do you already have socket options = TCP_NODELAY on the samba server?

[09:13] <cowbud> it's a riot
[09:13] <Linkmasta23> i told you
[09:13] <notgod> ciaron: and what is your server logging level?  Actually, I am just running through http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/speed.html -- which has a good number of things to look for.
[09:13] <POVaddct> brann: the edit won't be permanent. files in /proc and /sys are kernel-generated pseudo files
[09:13] <pintree> to all--am leaving  thanks for the help
[09:13] <ciaron> notgod:  "socket options = TCP_NODELAY" is uncommented in my smb.conf
[09:13] <riley> last question: i've got windows on another disk, and its basically for games. Is there some way i can get a driver for my video card so its not whirring constantly?
[09:14] <h1st0> riley: what kind of card do you have?
[09:15] <riley> eVga GEforce
[09:15] <h1st0> riley: you could install nvidia-glx package to get he proper drivers.
[09:15] <h1st0> !nvidia | riley
[09:15] <ubotu> riley: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:16] <riley> i looked there, but my card model doesnt begin with 4, 6, or FX
[09:16] <riley> its a 7900
[09:17] <niyi_> riley try using the apt-get commands
[09:17] <riley> ok
[09:17] <modisch> Hey folks.  Since the recent update, i haven't been able to get Beryl and Xgl to work.  I looked around and found how to revert beryl, but i'm still unable to get direct rendering to work under Xgl
[09:17] <IdleOne> !xgl
[09:17] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[09:17] <niyi_> modisch me neither
[09:17] <niyi_> it crashes my X
[09:18] <SanguineAnomaly> ^_^
[09:18] <modisch> Direct rendering is fine under the normal xorg gnome session... but under Xgl, i get an error with XFree86-DRI missing on the display
[09:18] <h1st0> riley: the other option is to install the drivers from nvidia's site.
[09:18] <niyi_> sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common
[09:18] <niyi_> sudo nvidia-xconfig
[09:18] <h1st0> riley: if you don't want to use nvidia-glx
[09:18] <SanguineAnomaly> i'm not having much luck with linux this week
[09:18] <niyi_> that riley
[09:18] <quaal> anyone know how to crop in gimp ?
[09:18] <modisch> IdleOne: thanks, i've followed the howtos for xgl..  and i had xgl and beryl working for the last couple of weeks.  then i let ubuntu update and i've been broken since
[09:18] <h1st0> modisch: #ubuntu-beryl or #ubuntu-effects
[09:18] <SanguineAnomaly> if i've already set up my partitions, how do I skip that step in the installer?
[09:18] <ciaron> notgod: having a quick though that page, most things on there i've tried and/or are not relevant
[09:19] <niyi_> riley open up terminal and type this: sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx nvidia-kernel-common
[09:19] <niyi_> sudo nvidia-xconfig
[09:19] <mc44> quaal: shift-C
[09:19] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: are you using the livecd installer?
[09:19] <modisch> h1st0: thanks, i'll try there
[09:19] <niyi_> it should install the drivers for you
[09:19] <SanguineAnomaly> h1st0: yes
[09:19] <IdleOne> modisch, you try in #ubuntu-effects
[09:19] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: just select manual I guess and point / to whichever part you want.
[09:19] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: and /swap etc....
[09:20] <SanguineAnomaly> h1st0: i tried that, but it says "you must specify a root file system", even when I have :/
[09:20] <riley> thanks
[09:20] <quaal> mc44, thanks
[09:20] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: Yeah you have to pick which partition you want to use as /
[09:21] <SanguineAnomaly> i did
[09:21] <SanguineAnomaly> h1st0: the error i get is: No root file system
[09:21] <SanguineAnomaly> Filesystems used by the system (/, /boot, /usr, /var) must be reformatted for use by this installer. Other filesystems (/home, /media/*, /usr/local, etc.) may be used without reformatting.
[09:21] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: any reason not to use the installers partitioner?
[09:21] <tobias_> do i need to burn the suse linux (i know its not ubuntu ^^^but its similar) 10.2 iso with disc at once?
[09:21] <SanguineAnomaly> h1st0: i already set up my partitions before installing windows
[09:22] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: Yeah you also have to check that / is going to be formated.
[09:22] <SanguineAnomaly> it is :/
[09:22] <Poromenos> is there an easy way i can resize my home/usr partitions to swap free space?
[09:22] <SanguineAnomaly> meh, i'll just reformat them
[09:22] <frobro360> question!!!!  I can't get my wireless connection to show when running 'ifconfig'
[09:22] <SanguineAnomaly> or re-set them up
[09:22] <SanguineAnomaly> w/e
[09:22] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: the other option is just to remove the partitions you create and just let it install to the freespace.
[09:22] <VrilutZa> need gelp
[09:22] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: if you want a seperate /home you would have to specify that.
[09:23] <h1st0> !ask | VrilutZa
[09:23] <ubotu> VrilutZa: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)

[09:26] <armadill0> hi all, I've got a mic/ sound recording issue in 6.10.  I can hear my voice in the speakers, but I can't get KRec to record my voice.  It just doens't seem to "hear" my microphone.  I'm using a VIA 8237.  This seems to be a fairly common issue with mics/ ubuntu based on the support forums.  Does anyone know how to fix this?  thanks :)

[09:28] <dcordes> hi everybody! i am looking for a .deb or a good guide on installing SCIM
[09:28] <dcordes> anybody got something?
[09:28] <Aggrav8d> Recently i had to change my server name to make https work.  now my samba is all screwy and the server shows up as "marginallyclever server (Samba, Ubuntu) (MARGINALLYCLEVE)" even though the netbios name is "HAL".  the server name is marginallyclever.com.  wtf is going on and how do i get it back to HAL without breaking things?
[09:28] <Beware> lawl
[09:28] <mc44> !scim | dcordes

[09:29] <Aggrav8d> Poromenos - i have been.  the name there is HAL.
[09:29] <Beware> so im just gonna partition it and give him ubuntu
[09:29] <Beware> so he at least has something
[09:29] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: restarted it?
[09:29] <Aggrav8d> Poromenos - oh yeah
[09:29] <likwidtek> sorry that link was for Poromenos
[09:29] <Aggrav8d> i mean, yes, i did.
[09:29] <frobro360> notgod: yes the driver is shown as loaded and hardware present
[09:29] <reppel> Hi, is there a sane way to edit keybindings in gnome? i need to bind Alt+F1 to launch a terminal, but i can't find a simple way
[09:29] <elias_> could anyone give me a tip on how to install Beryl?
[09:29] <Beware> and i dont think the laptop can run OSX
[09:29] <Poromenos> likwidtek: ah, sort of the realvnc listener
[09:29] <Beware> so im not gonna bother
[09:29] <Poromenos> likwidtek: what do you need?
[09:29] <SanguineAnomaly> does the ubuntu liveCD require an internet connection to install correctly?
[09:29] <aatdark> jyeah there is one
[09:30] <aatdark> at preferenves or so
[09:30] <mc44> SanguineAnomaly: no
[09:30] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: that's very odd, that's the place you should edit
[09:30] <aatdark> in den menu (gnome
[09:30] <h1st0> SanguineAnomaly: no
[09:30] <UrteTe>  how do i change or know the root password right after installation?
[09:30] <Beware> no SanguineAnomaly
[09:30] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: i don't know what else to say, maybe the line exists twice?
[09:30] <SanguineAnomaly> lol, so many "no"s :)
[09:30] <Aggrav8d> Poromenos - i've tried talking to #samba for the last 45 minutes, they were no help.
[09:30] <Beware> LOL
[09:30] <h1st0> UrteTe: its the password you specified by your user you use sudo
[09:30] <Beware> OOPS
[09:30] <POVaddct> SanguineAnomaly: no, internet access is optional when installing
[09:30] <h1st0> !sudo | UrteTe
[09:30] <Beware> caps
[09:30] <ubotu> UrteTe: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:30] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: search the file for server
[09:30] <Beware> XD

[09:30] <aatdark> reppel: i have ALT T
[09:30] <[BTF] Chm0d> what is the correct package name for x11 dev?
[09:30] <SanguineAnomaly> well, can anyone suggest a reason why nothing was installed into /boot last time I installed?
[09:30] <likwidtek> well I am looking for the same concept but for linux.  I don't want the linux machines to be servers, I want them to be clients.  What I am looking for is somethign that will make a point and click binary that will allow them to choose which "helper" they want to control their machine.
[09:31] <Puaff> please, which repository has the wmware-player package?
[09:31] <aatdark> linux is a very good server OS .
[09:31] <aatdark> [multiverse<font size="3">] </font>
[09:31] <aatdark> [multiverse<font size="3">]  = vmware player</font>
[09:31] <UrteTe> but can i use only su? the password i entered under installation doesn't work
[09:31] <Poromenos> likwidtek: erm
[09:31] <likwidtek> I have this really awesome gui that I made with the ultra vnc single click exe maker... but I want the same thign for making a linux client
[09:31] <mc44> !sudo | UrteTe
[09:31] <ubotu> UrteTe: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[09:32] <Poromenos> likwidtek: you want to control the linux machines, or FROM the linux machines?
[09:32] <SanguineAnomaly> UrteTe: you want to use sudo <command>
[09:32] <Puaff> aatdark, I have got multiverse in my sources.list but I don't find that package
[09:32] <aatdark> Puaff: ran sudo apt-get update
[09:32] <Beware> mmkay
[09:32] <Beware> i g2g
[09:32] <Beware> peace yall
[09:32] <aatdark> to get the newest list
[09:32] <likwidtek> I want to deploy lets say 10 linux machines.  All with this binary on their desktop that when they open it can request a help session from a particular tech's computer.  We already have a solution for the windows clients... I just need one for the linux xlients
[09:32] <Puaff> aatdark, I did it, is it vmware-player the package's name?
[09:33] <aatdark> it is vmware-player
[09:33] <Poromenos> likwidtek: right, so you want them to have the vnc server installed on the machine
[09:33] <UrteTe> is it not possible to log in as root? like with su
[09:33] <likwidtek> right.
[09:33] <aatdark> /Puaff what system ? edgy?#
[09:33] <mc44> UrteTe: sudo -i
[09:33] <Freddy2> hi
[09:33] <SanguineAnomaly> UrteTe: sudo su
[09:33] <Puaff> aalhamad, edgy 6.10
[09:33] <Poromenos> likwidtek: and what's the problem? i would think that you just have to know their IP
[09:33] <likwidtek> the listener will be another computer.  But I would like it single click and graphical with the option to choose more than one listener
[09:33] <UrteTe> mc44, SanguineAnomaly: thanks
[09:33] <Poromenos> likwidtek: i see
[09:33] <mosh> hi
[09:33] <aatdark> Puaff what was the command you ran?
[09:33] <shatrat> SanguineAnomaly, thats not recommended, sudo -i is better
[09:34] <Poromenos> likwidtek: are you making the program?
[09:34] <aatdark> Puaff to install it
[09:34] <Poromenos> likwidtek: or are you looking for a ready made one?
[09:34] <SanguineAnomaly> shatrat: how come?
[09:34] <Puaff> aatdark, I'm looking the packgage it apt-cache search vmware
[09:34] <h1st0> Poromenos: he's looking for a solution
[09:34] <Puaff> aatdark, then I can only see kernel modules for wmware
[09:34] <likwidtek> Poromenos: http://www.pchelpware.com/creator/index.html I used this to make the Windows server's exe's
[09:34] <Poromenos> likwidtek: hmm, i don't know of a solution like that, other than RealVNC, which includes an "add listener" option with a combo box
[09:34] <mosh> i amd trying to install pypanel, via apt-get.. and it goes throught hte install claims to work, but when all is said and done it just grabbed dependencys and docs, there is no "pypanel" app to run:(
[09:34] <shatrat> SanguineAnomaly, from what Ive read sudo su doesnt set up the environment variables properly so you could end up with wrong paths to home and bin and such
[09:34] <aalhamad> Puaff yes
[09:34] <IdleOne> need the perl and python plguins for xchat are those in repos or do I get from xchat.org?
[09:34] <Puaff> aatdark, I always run apt from gterm
[09:35] <aatdark> Puaff try sudo apt-get install vmware-player
[09:35] <Aggrav8d> poro - http://pastebin.ca/352433
[09:35] <Poromenos> likwidtek: ah, i see
[09:35] <SanguineAnomaly> shatrat: ah, that makes sense - since I've actually had that problem XD
[09:35] <William_1> hey ! is it allowed to give links ???
[09:35] <aalhamad> Puaff, sorry i just so your msg
[09:35] <mosh> i tried installing from source but i cannot find the compatible imlib2 files, any help would be appreciated vm
[09:36] <IdleOne> William_1, depends what links I suppose
[09:36] <Poromenos> likwidtek: well, i can only think of realvnc, the server icon allows you to add listeners
[09:36] <Poromenos> likwidtek: well, to connect to them
[09:36] <riley> how do you ssh into a server and use a diff username than the one on the terminal?
[09:36] <SanguineAnomaly> IdleOne: can't you just apt-get install python perl?
[09:36] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: change "server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)" to "server string = HAL" or whatever you want it to be
[09:36] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: then restart samba
[09:37] <aatdark> riley what do you mean?
[09:37] <Puaff> aatdark, it doesn't work, there is no wmware-player package :-?
[09:37] <Aggrav8d> Poromenos - i'll try it
[09:37] <aatdark> riley by taking a diff usrename
[09:37] <linxeh> I'm running an Edgy system with an Nvidia card, and I'm now having problems getting X to work with the nvidia closed drivers. It works fine with the nv driver though. I've reinstalled linux-restricted-modules-generic and nvidia-glx. Have I missed anything ? "Failed to load the NVIDIA kernel module!" "/lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/volatile/nvidia.ko": No such file or directory
[09:37] <Freddy2> i've added a script to /etc/init.d and after I've created the usual symlink from /etc/rc5.d (S50script, one for configuring iptables), but after rebooting the machine (it should start in level 5) the script isn't executed (iptables has no rule after starting).. why?
[09:37] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: it'll work :p
[09:37] <likwidtek> brb
[09:37] <Puaff> aatdark, just a xserver and kernel modules
[09:37] <riley> i try "ssh lore.cs.purdue.edu" and it asks me for the password for the username i am in on my computer, but its not the same username i need to log in with
[09:37] <riley> how do i do that?
[09:37] <riley> take a diff name *
[09:37] <sveri> hi, anyone here who got feisty installed on a neo p965 chipset from usb or ide-cdrom?
[09:37] <IdleOne> SanguineAnomaly, well I got an error from xchat telling me to install the plugins so i was wondering if I needed to get a plugin from xchat or just install perl and python but either way i would need perl for a plugin to work so heh thanks :)
[09:37] <Poromenos> riley: , erm
[09:38] <likwidtek> this is what the windows gui looks like:   http://img356.imageshack.us/img356/4247/untitledyy3.jpg
[09:38] <Puaff> aatdark, don't worry, thx a lot, I'll see what I have wrong
[09:38] <Poromenos> riley: ssh<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[09:38] <riley> ah
[09:38] <riley> thank
[09:38] <aatdark> what was the prob?
[09:38] <Poromenos> riley: np
[09:38] <aatdark> just for intererset
[09:38] <likwidtek> I want basically a linux port of that.  heh
[09:38] <Aggrav8d> Poromenos - did it but the name still shows up wrong in windows.  is there some way to force windows to refresh?
[09:38] <IdleOne> SanguineAnomaly, or not lol
[09:38] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: well, you can reboot, or repair the network i think
[09:38] <riley> is there a way to copy files to my disk using ssh?
[09:38] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d:  make sure you restarted samba
[09:38] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: but on next windows boot, it'll show up as HAL
[09:38] <Freddy2> riley: try scp
[09:39] <Aggrav8d> argh, i gotta reboot then.
[09:39] <Aggrav8d> one minute...
[09:39] <IdleOne> later folks
[09:39] <Poromenos> likwidtek: i see, i'm afraid i don't know of anything that customized
[09:39] <riley> ah
[09:39] <riley> thanks
[09:39] <SanguineAnomaly> brb
[09:39] <Freddy2> riley: gftp also has support for ssh (graphic client)
[09:39] <SanguineAnomaly> (hopefully)
[09:39] <b0ef> riley: or sftp
[09:39] <Aggrav8d> poro - ok, now HAL is there but i can't log into it.
[09:39] <linxeh> man the nvidia drivers suck
[09:39] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: could you log on the server before?
[09:39] <likwidtek> is there a way to make a script that will do it non graphially?  maybe just a simple text program?
[09:39] <linxeh> why dont they just open source the flipping thing
[09:40] <Poromenos> also, does anyone know how i can resize a linux partition? :p
[09:40] <Poromenos> likwidtek: hmm, there is a way, but it'd take a bit of programmnig
[09:40] <Aggrav8d> poro - yeah

[09:40] <Poromenos> likwidtek: do you have like, a web server or something?
[09:40] <trident_> hello
[09:40] <trident_> i tried to make a debian package with checkinstall and it makes a symlink which conflicts with something from smbclient
[09:40] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: does it ask for a username and password?
[09:40] <trident_> how do i force the machine to accept the package?
[09:40] <likwidtek> I could write it in windows batch... lol but dunno any scripting
[09:40] <trident_> dpkg -i <package> results in trying to overwrite `/usr/lib/cups/backend/smb', which is also in package smbclient
[09:40] <Poromenos> likwidtek: windows batch doesn't work in linux :p
[09:40] <trident_> anyone?
[09:41] <h1st0> trident_: -f
[09:41] <Poromenos> trident_: dpkg --force
[09:41] <Aggrav8d> i'm getting "\\hal is not accessible.  you may not have permission to use this network resource."
[09:41] <h1st0> trident_: or check the man page for dpkg
[09:41] <Bourne_31> hi, is there a way to install Ubuntu-Desktop in Text Mode? I actually didn't like the graphical installer
[09:41] <h1st0> trident_: yeah --force
[09:41] <h1st0> Bourne_31: yes use the alternate iso
[09:41] <linxeh> Bourne_31: yes, use the alternative cd
[09:41] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: hmm, that's odd, nothing else has changed
[09:41] <dv_> anyone using the madwifi drivers?
[09:41] <Poromenos> Aggrav8d: windows probably doesn't recognise the server now and doesn't send the password
[09:42] <dv_> I have a weird problem with them. I can connect correctly alright, and communication works,
[09:42] <Aggrav8d> i'll try the reboot now.
[09:42] <Aggrav8d> brb
[09:42] <Bourne_31> linxeh: I don't have the alternative CD, only the Desktop CD. You are saying that there is no way to install the Desktop in Text Mode then?
[09:42] <dv_> but for some reason the signal is gone for about 5-10 seconds,
[09:42] <dv_> and then it works again
[09:42] <dv_> it seems as if the wlan card "loses" the signal
[09:42] <linxeh> Bourne_31: the desktop cd is a live distro with the ability to install the live distribution to a partition
[09:42] <linxeh> Bourne_31: afaik there is no text mode install on that cd
[09:42] <dv_> and finds it again
[09:43] <Bourne_31> linxeh: only the alternative Cd then...
[09:43] <linxeh> Bourne_31: you might be able to do it manually though using a rescue console or somesuch
[09:43] <linxeh> eg copying the files manually to a partition and installing grub
[09:43] <ElbridgeGerry> How do I make Ubuntu no longer count a touchpad tap as a click?
[09:43] <ElbridgeGerry> (Using laptop with 6.10)
[09:44] <frobro360> notgod: yes ndiswrapper -l shows that my driver is loaded, and hardware is present
[09:44] <fiXXXerMet> I have 2 SATA drives in my machine and I am attempting to install ubuntu 6.10 server.  I create 1 partition on each as raid, and then go to configure raid, which creates a 3rd device (md0).  I make my first partition (/boot) on it, and then it won't allow me to use the rest of the drive.
[09:44] <fiXXXerMet> Why is this?
[09:44] <finn> !nvidia
[09:44] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[09:44] <aatdark> fiXXXerMet: what raid systen?
[09:45] <fiXXXerMet> 1
[09:45] <h1st0> fiXXXerMet: are you making the /boot the entire size of the raid?
[09:45] <dcordes> mc44: you gave me that link for scim. i installed it but i can't activate it. i mean it is in the tray and i can change some settings there but how do i use it? :)
[09:45] <Bourne_31> linxeh: after I install ubuntu, is there a way to disable system services from the GUI ?
[09:45] <fiXXXerMet> No, just 150 MB out of 200 GB
[09:45] <dcordes> mc44: there was nothing on the wiki about it
[09:45] <Poromenos> fiXXXerMet: is it fakeraid?
[09:45] <fiXXXerMet> I don't think so?
[09:45] <h1st0> Bourne_31: Do you want no gui installed at all?
[09:45] <h1st0> Bourne_31: i'm nto sure what you are tryign to accomplish.
[09:45] <Bourne_31> h1st0: lemme explain
[09:45] <VrilutZa> h1st0 http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5468/plain/
[09:45] <mc44> dcordes: dunno sorry
[09:45] <Poromenos> Bourne_31: there's a program
[09:46] <riley> if I have another HD with Windows on it, is it possible to have access to it through Ubuntu? I looked online, and for whatever reason, i cant get to them through "System --> Admin --> Disks", becuase thats not an item under the admin section
[09:46] <Poromenos> Bourne_31: that comes with automatix
[09:46] <linxeh> Bourne_31: yes - the services thing in "system" menu
[09:46] <VrilutZa> how to resolv?
[09:46] <Poromenos> Bourne_31: or that
[09:46] <dcordes> anybody?
[09:46] <aatdark> riley yeah its possible
[09:46] <Bourne_31> h1st0: yes, i don't want to install in Text mode... (too slow)... but I want the GUI included
[09:46] <aatdark> riley: are you familier with mount?
[09:46] <Poromenos> has noone ever resized a linux partition?
[09:46] <Bourne_31> h1st0: i mean, i dont't want to install in GRAPH mode
[09:46] <oggy> i need a desktop recorder
[09:46] <aatdark> riley or is there a other problem?
[09:46] <riley> you mean /mnt
[09:46] <h1st0> VrilutZa: I don't understand what you are trying to do I haven't played with that stuff y7et.
[09:46] <riley> I've never done anything with it
[09:46] <aatdark> riley no the comman mount
[09:46] <Bourne_31> h1st0: i don't know why they changed this! it was so easy with breezy bager
[09:47] <fiXXXerMet> I just made a 100 GB (50%) /var partition on the Raid1 Device #0 Software Raid, and now the other space says "unusable"
[09:47] <alienseer23> help! my desktop is all messed up and nautilus won't open windows!
[09:47] <ElbridgeGerry> Hi, all. Doesn anyone know a way to no longer make touchpad taps count as a click on this laptop?
[09:47] <h1st0> Bourne_31: well you would need to alternate cd to dot hat.
[09:47] <aatdark> riley: ok ..try sudo mkdir /media/windowsdrive
[09:47] <riley> did that
[09:47] <h1st0> Bourne_31: and to answer your question yes there is a services config in the gnome.
[09:47] <dcordes> i really could need some help with SCIM. anybody using it?
[09:47] <aatdark> riley: then mount /dev/hda ?? 0-3 /media/windowsdrive
[09:47] <riley> how can i find out what the number is?
[09:47] <foo> How can I switch from alsa to oss without X?
[09:47] <h1st0> riley: fdisk -l
[09:47] <aatdark> riley
[09:47] <riley> ty
[09:48] <alienseer23> I tried to change my desktop background and the whole thing just froze
[09:48] <frobro360> question: why would I still have no wlan0 network interface after I have completed all steps to setup ndiswrapper?
[09:48] <aatdark> riley: do you want also write access ?
[09:48] <ElbridgeGerry> alienseer23: Can you restart?
[09:48] <aatdark> riley: and is it a NTFS volume?
[09:48] <Aggrav8d> huzzah, it worked!  thank you!
[09:48] <trident_> h1st0: that didn't work
[09:48] <alienseer23> I can try
[09:48] <trident_> dpkg: unknown force/refuse option
[09:49] <riley> i do "fdisk -l" and this is the only disk i see: dev/sdc1               1       38913   312568641    7  HPFS/NTFS
[09:49] <ElbridgeGerry> alienseer23: I've had some freezes too. Rebooting generally helps.
[09:49] <h1st0> riley: its /dev/sdc1
[09:49] <aatdark> riley: and where is you linux?
[09:49] <h1st0> trident_: --force ?
[09:49] <alienseer23> rebooting (had this problem before I did my last reboot)
[09:49] <riley> my linux is on a 320, so that one presumably
[09:49] <oggy> i need a desktop recorder istanbul only does ogg
[09:49] <alienseer23> I'll try it out
[09:49] <riley> my windows is on a 250
[09:49] <trident_> dpkg --force package name right?
[09:49] <h1st0> trident_: hold on let me check the man
[09:50] <Arphetic> Hi, I'm having a Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe as Motherboard with an onboard soundcard, and I am running Ubuntu Dapper Drake. My sound is working, but the quality is very bad, specially on lower frequentions. Any suggestions on what I can do? (There are no drivers @ Asus site for linux + Running nForce mixer now I think).
[09:50] <frobro360> anyone have any suggestions?
[09:51] <aatdark> riley: is it working with sdc1?
[09:51] <riley> yea
[09:51] <mycologist> hello, i am new to ubuntu. i just finished a new install of 6.10 and managed to get my ati x1600 working and now i am unable to get my soundblaster audigy 2 working, can anyone help?
[09:51] <h1st0> trident_: dpkg --force-all  I believe is what you are looking for but becarefull using it.
[09:51] <riley> the other device doesnt show under fdisk
[09:51] <h1st0> trident_: what package are you trying to install because there may be a better way.
[09:51] <trident_> h1st0: it's custom made
[09:51] <aatdark> riley what is the other dive tye of?
[09:51] <aatdark> riley: IDE?
[09:51] <trident_> that didn't work either
[09:51] <aatdark> riley: or external USB
[09:51] <riley> they are both SATA
[09:52] <ElbridgeGerry> Sorry for asking again, but this kind of got lost in the flood: Does anyone know how to make Ubuntu no longer count my touchpad taps as a click? Or does anyone know a good channel to ask?
[09:52] <h1st0> trident_: okay the other option is dpkg --force-help will show you how to use foce
[09:52] <riley> well, i have an external USB and 2 SATAs, only they SATA w/ ubuntu is showing up
[09:52] <aatdark> riley: try typing /dev/sd and then press TAB 2x
[09:52] <riley> k
[09:52] <aatdark> then it lists the possible devices starting with sd ..
[09:52] <trident_> do i need --force-all and then --install as well?
[09:52] <h1st0> trident_: dpkg -i --force-all whatev3er.deb
[09:52] <riley> bash: /dev/sd: No such file or directory
[09:52] <aatdark> riley: dont press enter
[09:52] <riley> ok
[09:53] <aatdark> riley: press TAB 2 times
[09:53] <h1st0> trident_: if that does't work try dpkg --force-all -i whatever.deb
[09:53] <aatdark> riley: then its lits the possible things ..
[09:53] <dcordes> !scim
[09:53] <ubotu> Chinese, Japanese, Korean Language input. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SCIM
[09:53] <dcordes> !scim-ui
[09:53] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about scim-ui - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[09:53] <riley> doesnt do anything
[09:53] <h1st0> trident_: I don't believe the order will matter or --install vs. -i  should be the same thing.
[09:53] <tom__> hey guys, i'm having big troubles with avahi, it doesn't seem to be running. when starting the service, my programs using it still won't work. can somebody help me through this or speak up if you have a similar problem?
[09:53] <dcordes> hm the wiki can't help me with SCIM anybody else can?
[09:53] <Arphetic> Hi, I'm having a Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe as Motherboard with an onboard soundcard, and I am running Ubuntu Dapper Drake. My sound is working, but the quality is very bad, specially on lower frequentions. Any suggestions on what I can do? (There are no drivers @ Asus site for linux + Running nForce mixer now I think).
[09:53] <h1st0> trident_: can you just use gdebi?
[09:53] <h1st0> trident_: i.e. double click the .deb?

[09:54] <aatdark> riley: yeah
[09:54] <h1st0> !raid | fiXXXerMet
[09:54] <tom__> SanguineAnomaly: disable automatic installation of security updates

[09:54] <aatdark> riley: it will show you your diroves ..
[09:54] <Arphetic> SanguineAnomaly It wont upgrade the kernel, maybe update I think
[09:54] <Arphetic> but do you mean like... upgrading -> Edgy or just to latest kernel version?

[10:12] <tom__> gili: follow the link i provided you.
[10:12] <shatrat> cc77, I believe sourceforge has a page somewhere where they list how many projects use which languages.  c and c++ blow the others away still iirc
[10:12] <cc77> shatrat, if I were to release an app that all distro's should be to port easily, python is the word?
[10:12] <saras> hello

[10:13] <ubotu> yodude: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:13] <saras> can someone help me to use ubuntu?
[10:13] <Yodude> tom_: so i downloaded this theme
[10:14] <cc77> tom__, hmm, how compatible is with mono?
[10:14] <tom__> !mp3 | gili
[10:14] <ubotu> gili: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[10:14] <tom__> cc77: very.
[10:14] <Yodude> it's named clearlooks engine, it's the engine of ohter themes
[10:14] <cc77> tom__ and the gui part?
[10:14] <Yodude> the owner said to install i need to run "./configure --prefix=/usr && make install"
[10:14] <Arphetic> Hi, I'm having a Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe as Motherboard with an onboard soundcard, and I am running Ubuntu Dapper Drake. My sound is working, but the quality is very bad, specially on lower frequentions. Any suggestions on what I can do? (There are no drivers @ Asus site for linux + Running nForce mixer now I think).
[10:14] <Yodude> but i got nothing when i did that command
[10:14] <Yodude> what should i do?
[10:14] <tom__> cc77: i dunno about that, i'm not a developer. but programs developed with c# and mono can be ported very easily. even to windows in some cases.
[10:15] <saras> how to install programs in ubuntu? :(
[10:15] <saras> :(
[10:15] <saras> help me
[10:15] <cc77> which has a lower memory and cpu footprint, mono (dotnet) or python?
[10:15] <shatrat> Arphetic, try opening "alsamixer" and turning down the PCM, and possibly main volume and others.
[10:15] <LiENUS> cc77, python should
[10:15] <tom__> saras: applications --> Add/Remove
[10:15] <shatrat> cc77, I think the correct answer there is "everything but java"
[10:15] <Yodude> saras: at the upper-left corner of the screen click Applications, then Add/remove
[10:15] <saras> thanks, i'll try
[10:15] <LiENUS> does ubuntu have selinux support?
[10:16] <pollywog> I did an upgrade on Edgy and it rendered my system unbootable by modifying my fstab to use some long ID's
[10:16] <tom__> Lienus: try google. asking 20 times won't get you a better answer if nobody knows.
[10:16] <Yodude> tom_: so how do i install that theme engine?
[10:16] <jeeves_bond> When I'm creating a PDF from KWord Georgia is not being used in the PDF but it's the font for all my body text in the KWord document. Does anyone know why this would happen/how I can fix it?
[10:16] <pollywog> is there a way to fix this?
[10:16] <shatrat> Yodude, there is a theme installing utility in the System menu
[10:16] <tom__> yodude: in System --> Preferences --> Themes
[10:16] <LiENUS> tom__,  surely someone knows
[10:16] <cc77> LiENUS, I but if debian has, ubuntu will also have selinux support.
[10:16] <jeeves_bond> (people in #kde don't seem to have an answer)
[10:16] <tom__> Lienus: they would've helped you by now.
[10:16] <Yodude> yes but the owner said not to use it cuz this is not actually a theme it's an engine for themes
[10:17] <cc77> LiENUS, I mean bet, not but
[10:17] <Yodude> here see for yourself: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=19527
[10:17] <tom__> Yodude: clearlooks? ubuntu already has clearlooks installed, as the default theme uses it.
[10:17] <shatrat> Yodude, well then look for a README or something in the archive
[10:17] <LiENUS> tom__,  did you know someone asked about a package to moniter a serial modem for caller id information?
[10:17] <saras> how to install "skype_debian-<IP_ADDRESS>-1_i386.deb"??? :((((
[10:17] <LiENUS> did you know kakado_ quit because his send queue was exceeded?
[10:17] <zachalekos> does anybody know how to buy webcams that work in ubuntu in the uk?
[10:18] <tom__> Lienus: yeah, i don't know the answer. do you expect 1034 people all to answer "i don't know"??
[10:18] <pollywog> is "ik ga weg" Dutch for "leaving"?

[10:18] <shatrat> LiENUS, no, but its searchable in the logs ;)
[10:18] <david_> im a little confused edgy 64 wouldnt install but dapper 64 bit did and darn nice why is that?
[10:19] <sam_> Anyone using a Lenovo 3000 n100 (0768-A53)? I just got one and I can't get my sound working :(
[10:19] <pollywog> saras: you want to install a deb?
[10:19] <bur[n] er> saras: "sudo dpkg -i skype_debian*"
[10:19] <shatrat> saras, Im not sure thats the best way of instlaling it.
[10:19] <tom__> Lienus: your problem is not more important than anybody elses. Posting your problem every 30 seconds spams the channel, and annoys anybody who possibly knows the answer to your question.
[10:19] <jeeves_bond> saras: What does it say if you right-click on the file?
[10:19] <LiENUS> shatrat,  my point being not everyone is able to see everything i've asked the same question 3 times and waited till it was off the screen before asking each time, because not everyone sees everything
[10:19] <LiENUS> tom__, i waited far more than 30 seconds
[10:19] <saras> it...
[10:19] <saras> extracting
[10:19] <saras> my english is broken :((
[10:19] <DARKGuy> LiENUS: Depending on your question, you could also try other channels if no one here knows the answer
[10:20] <quintin> sam_: /join #alsa
[10:20] <tom__> Lienus: and if 1034 people posted once every 2 minutes, do you know how insane that would be? if somebody knew the answer, they would answer. if they don't know, look for help elsewhere in the meantime.
[10:20] <linxeh> any idea why /lib/modules/2.6.17-11-generic/volatile would get cleaned at reboot ?

[10:20] <pollywog> is anyone else ending up with an unbootable system after an upgrade in Edgy?
[10:20] <quintin> saras: or just double click the downloaded .deb

[10:20] <ubotu> saras: To install Skype on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype - To record on Skype, check: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SkypeRecordingHowto
[10:20] <saras> where i must write it?
[10:20] <LiENUS> theres a ubuntu.com website relating to selinxu
[10:20] <linxeh> pollywog: not unbootable, but the nvidia drivers dont work (here anyway)
[10:20] <_Tom_> I'm trying to install dmraid before the alternate edgy CD partitions my drives (it'd need dmraid to see the array). But I've installed the .udeb package (I think), however nothing is coming up in /dev/mapper :( Any help? I made sure I found its dependancies on the alt cd and installed them.
[10:21] <tom__> Lienus: then i guess you're out of luck, or you could try looking at that website.
[10:21] <LiENUS> however it does not answer  my question
[10:21] <LiENUS> hence
[10:21] <LiENUS> i'm asking in here
[10:21] <pollywog> linxeh: I don't have the nvidia problem I wish it were only that
[10:21] <shatrat> saras, check this out, it has a Ubuntu section under the debian one. http://www.debianadmin.com/install-skype-instant-messanger-in-debian-and-ubuntu.html
[10:21] <tom__> lienus: you're asking way too often in here. you're spamming the channel.
[10:21] <michaelpo> !kernel
[10:21] <_Tom_> (I'm mainly following the FakeRaidEdgy tutorial)
[10:21] <ubotu> kernel is the core of the Ubuntu Operating System (named 'Linux') - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel.  You shouldn't have to compile one, but if you're convinced you do, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelCustomBuild
[10:21] <LiENUS> if it bothers you put me on ignore tom__
[10:21] <linxeh> pollywog: you can always boot from the CD if necessary
[10:21] <shatrat> saras, or nevermind, use the one ubotu linked
[10:21] <niyi> can someone please explain why no matter what package i can seem to make isntall files
[10:21] <variant> !version
[10:21] <ubotu> To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type  lsb_release -a  in a !shell
[10:21] <LiENUS> for that matter you are spamming the channel right now much more than my asking every 2 minutes
[10:21] <pollywog> linxeh: yeah but my HD will be inaccessible won't it?
[10:22] <tom__> Lienus: being rude does not get results. if somebody knew the answer to your question, they would have answered you. try google, you seem capable.
[10:22] <linxeh> pollywog: not if you do it the right way; you can use the kernel on the cd and tell it to use your hard drive as the root partition
[10:22] <LiENUS> your incessant drivel alone, not to mention my needing to reply to you
[10:22] <pollywog> linxeh: have a url for me that tells me how?
[10:23] <pollywog> nvm I will check the wiki
[10:23] <tom__> Lienus: i can guaruntee you nobody will have an answer for you, because if they did, they would have given it to you. In the meantime, you're making it difficult for other people.
[10:23] <pollywog> linxeh: thanks for your help
[10:23] <linxeh> pollywog: im looking to see if i can find a link
[10:24] <niyi> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop. ... what does that mean?

[10:24] <LiENUS> does ubuntu have selinux support?
[10:24] <tom__> lienus: yes it does. read this website: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SELinux
[10:25] <shatrat> 2 seconds to google it
[10:25] <faemir_> is gnubuntu still going?
[10:25] <tom__> shatrat: exactly, thankyou.
[10:25] <LiENUS> shatrat, since you dont know the answer, its best not to reply
[10:25] <fiXXXerMet> Am I supposed to make the /boot partition the first on the drive, and mark it as bootable?
[10:26] <Anders> Hi everyone. I am very new to Linux and Ubuntu. After installing Ubuntu on my IBM T30 laptop everything worked fine. Yet after updating Ubuntu (the kernel was updated from 2.6.17-10 to 2.6.17-11) my wireless card does not work. When booting with the old kernel it works fine, but nut with the kernel version 2.6.17-11. Please can anyone help me?
[10:26] <pollywog> linxeh: btw I have the alternative install CD for Edgy
[10:26] <shatrat> LiENUS, since you are too lazy to look, perhaps you ought not spam?
[10:26] <LiENUS> shatrat,
[10:26] <LiENUS> have you read the google results?
[10:26] <shatrat> LiENUS, and I did know the answer, but by your second post it was too annoying to be arsed
[10:26] <tom__> LiENUS: i already answered your question, and shatrat does know the answer because i posted it publicly. try using google next time.
[10:26] <LiENUS> have you installed selinux support on ubuntu?
[10:26] <rmd_> faemir_: i'm guessing not, since gnubuntu.org pushes the reader to ubuntu.com :-/
[10:26] <_Tom_> I'm trying to install dmraid before the alternate edgy CD partitions my drives (it'd need dmraid to see the array). But I've installed the .udeb package (I think), however nothing is coming up in /dev/mapper :( Any help? I made sure I found its dependancies on the alt cd and installed them.
[10:26] <shatrat> yeah, its a definitive kind of.
[10:26] <linxeh> pollywog: I cant remember exactly, but you should be able to edit the boot options on the grub menu on that cd, and tell the kernel "initrd=/dev/hd....."
[10:26] <adam__> can anyone help with a freezing problem on edgy? think it might have something to do with ndiswrapper or my card
[10:27] <riley> is there a driver for webcams that will work with logitech cameras?
[10:27] <LiENUS> because wiki.ubuntu.com says it has selinux support
[10:27] <linxeh> pollywog: where you pass in the device that has your / partition
[10:27] <LiENUS> yet...
[10:27] <LiENUS> apt-get install selinux
[10:27] <tom__> Lienus: good luck getting support in here next time, you're rudeness probably won't be forgotten.
[10:27] <LiENUS> does not install it
[10:27] <pollywog> linxeh: ty
[10:27] <LiENUS> hence i asked in here
[10:27] <shatrat> I wonder if its because its not a package?
[10:27] <shatrat> Could it be?
[10:27] <patrick_> has any one got a cannon pixima ip3000 working with dapper?

[10:28] <Anders> Hi Experts! :-) Can anyone help me to get my wireless card to work with kernel 2.6.17-11? Please help...
[10:28] <alienseer23> !creative zen nano
[10:28] <tom__> alienseer23: what firmware do you have/
[10:28] <tom__> err...
[10:28] <shatrat> Anders, reinstall, at least repeat the bits of the how-to you used to get it working in the first place which involve compiling things
[10:28] <riley> notgod: thanks
[10:28] <shatrat> Anders, when I say reinstall, I dont mean ubuntu btw
[10:29] <notgod> riley: was totally a stab in the dark.  :)  but you're very welcome.

[10:30] <shatrat> Anders, I dont really know, thats just the general approach when a kernel changes and a module is no longer correct.  This is a common problem lately, you might try checking the forums and looking for your particular brand of wireless adapter

[10:31] <Dial_tone> is there anyway to use lightscribe in linux?
[10:31] <ElbridgeGerry> Dial_tone: Is it a Windows program?
[10:31] <tom__> Dial_tone: i think i saw a program for this.
[10:31] <shatrat> Anders, no problem. It probably isnt too big of a deal to get it fixed, but youll need to know what hardware you have.  lspci will probably list it
[10:31] <rp3> what does automatix give me that add/remove or synaptic doesn't give me?
[10:31] <tom__> elbridgegerry: it uses a laser to inscribe on cds. its part of the hardware.
[10:31] <LiENUS> Anders,  what commands do you have to rerun?
[10:31] <shatrat> Dial_tone, ive seen one too, but I dont have a lightscribe writer myself so I didnt pay too much attention.
[10:32] <ElbridgeGerry> tom_: Oh. I'm stupid.
[10:32] <ImmortalD23> is it true that noone chats here?
[10:32] <Dial_tone> I am just looking at new burners and wonder if I should bother w/ specifying lightscribe

[10:32] <hairulfr> Hey all, if I move SDB1 and A1, can I add the to the desktop easily again?
[10:32] <tom__> Dial_tone: read this: http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=322829
[10:32] <Anders> but after reboot - the wireless card does not work again until I enter the 4 commands
[10:32] <LiENUS> linxeh, because its volatile?
[10:33] <Anders> so I was thinking that i might be possible to run these commands automatically during boot?
[10:33] <LiENUS> Anders, the last command looks redudant... it requires all 4?
[10:33] <ElbridgeGerry> I'm trying to install libqt3-mt, but it tells me I need libfontconfig1. When I try to install libfontconfig1, it tells me I have a later version already. What do I do?
[10:33] <linxeh> LiENUS: I assumed that it meant they were lame/unstable/proprietry - you have to manually load something in there then ?
[10:33] <tom__> Anders: you could create an init.d script.
[10:33] <LiENUS> Anders,  whats the name of the device? eth1? eth0?
[10:33] <Dial_tone> great, thanks
[10:33] <hairulfr> Hm,never mind, I want to move sda1 and sdb1 from the desktop, is there a way to do this, or a hack, that'll allow the not to have titles?
[10:33] <linxeh> LiENUS: makes it flipping hard work getting the nvidia drivers to work
[10:33] <Anders> I have only tried to enter all 4 commands - and that works
[10:33] <hairulfr> *tem
[10:34] <tom__> Anders: if you already know how to get it working, creating an init.d script should be easy.

[10:38] <Eclypse> hey all, is there a way to burn .avi video files to a dvd allowing them to be played on a dvd player?

[10:38] <saras> how to write as aroot?
[10:38] <LiENUS> Anders,  run gksudo gedit /etc/modules
[10:38] <cdward> maybe a more accurate quesiton is: is that any reason to install LVM on a basic desktop machine?
[10:38] <saras> how to write as root?
[10:38] <tom__> saras: use sude
[10:38] <LiENUS> add 3 lines, "orinoco_pci", "hostap_pci" and "prism2_pci"
[10:38] <Anders> sorry, I am so new to Linux. Should I go to the terminal and enter "gksudo gedit /etc/module" ?
[10:38] <tom__> saras: sudo*
[10:39] <Knight_Lord2> Is there any way for me to know how many PCI slots I have on my machine?
[10:39] <Eclypse>  is there a way to burn .avi video files to a dvd allowing them to be played on a dvd player?
[10:39] <LiENUS> Anders,  hit alt+f2
[10:39] <LiENUS> and enter it there
[10:39] <tom__> Knight_Lord2: you could look at the back of it...
[10:39] <LiENUS> itl'l ask you for your password, type it in then add those lines
[10:39] <faemir_> is there a way to browser folders and do stuff in a graphical wm? because everytime i want to do something that requires root access, i have to use terminal
[10:39] <Knight_Lord2> tom__ without physical access
[10:39] <tom__> Knight_Lord2: or use lspci
[10:39] <faemir_> which takes longer
[10:39] <brann> I want an application (a game) to use a specific keyboard map. i'm able to change it using xmodmap and play my game, but i don't know how to switch back to my default map. how can i do?
[10:39] <cdward> no LVM suggestions?
[10:39] <Knight_Lord2> tom__ I only seem to get PCI bridge from the lspci
[10:40] <Chankster> i keep getting this error "bash: ./sb: cannot execute binary file" any ideas?
[10:40] <Knight_Lord2> tom__ I want to know how many *empty* slots
[10:40] <Anders> i have just hit alt+f2 and entered gksudo gedit /etc/modules
[10:40] <tom__> Knight_lord2: i don't know if thats possible.
[10:40] <Knight_Lord2> tom__ I also don't know, that's why I'm asking :-)
[10:40] <Anders> the document is almost empty - so what should I enter? It seems I can choose kernel modules to load?
[10:41] <Knight_Lord2> I have the following interesting line from dmesg
[10:41] <Knight_Lord2> PCI: PCI BIOS revision 2.10 entry at 0xfb840, last bus=3
[10:41] <Knight_Lord2> Does last bus = 3 means that I have 4 pci slots?

[10:42] <Anders> what should go into the text file?
[10:42] <tom__> [ginge] : nothing is muted?
[10:42] <faemir_> tom__, hehe
[10:43] <[ginge] > tom__: not that I know of, in the taskbar checking the volume control it's on max
[10:43] <LiENUS> Anders,  you enter those 3 lines i said
[10:43] <tom__> [ginge] : right click it, open volume manager and check.
[10:43] <Anders> sorry - I did not see the 3 lines

[10:45] <saras> why i cant write my password in terminal?
[10:45] <Anders> Lienus - so now the file looks like this - is it correct? ;# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.

[10:45] <saras> why i cant write my password in terminal?
[10:45] <BMContagion> Could somebody tell me which parts I need to comment out for the flawed k3d script? I've been googling it a bit and apparently that's the answer due to its' preremoval script being broken? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/5479/

[10:45] <TheShrewdDude> Has anyone here had problems with $RANDOM in bash?
[10:45] <saras> why i cant write my password in terminal?
[10:45] <LiENUS> saras,  what?
[10:45] <saras> why i cant write my password in terminal?
[10:45] <Anders> I am so sorry  - wont happen again
[10:46] <LiENUS> saras, what are you talking about?
[10:46] <LiENUS> Anders,  but yes thats the jist of it...
[10:46] <[ginge] > tom__: everything is fine in the volume control dialogue, moreati: i've read some of that before but the responses from the terminal confused me more than anything. i wrote a post on the official ubuntu forums, but once i started asking for help when i pasted some of hte output from the terminal no one seemed to reply. the only help i got was superficial stuff that was before i came across that document
[10:46] <TheShrewdDude> my bash scripts interpret $RANDOM as a variable.
[10:46] <saras> it wants my password
[10:46] <saras> but i cant write it
[10:46] <LiENUS> saras, your password is hidden
[10:46] <saras> it doesnt write
[10:46] <TheShrewdDude> saras: You _ARE_ typing it; you just can't see it.
[10:46] <LiENUS> the characters wont show up
[10:46] <saras> thanks
[10:46] <Pie-rate> azureus won't start for some reason. http://pastebin.ca/352520 is the output it gives. worked yesterday. icon comes up in the notification area then disappears
[10:46] <TheShrewdDude> Has anyone had problems with $RANDOM in their bash scripts?
[10:46] <POVaddct> saras: the password input just isn't echoed. it's a security feature.
[10:47] <ProN00b> http://www.google.com/trends?q=boobs%2C+ubuntu
[10:47] <POVaddct> TheShrewdDude: no. what problems would that be?
[10:47] <ProN00b> lol, aweasome
[10:47] <tom__> saras: what is your first language? ubuntu has language specific channels that might help you better.
[10:47] <TheShrewdDude> In my bash scripts, $RANDOM is interpreted as the value of a variable, not a random value.
[10:47] <Anders> Ok - thanks - i will try this, and now reboot - thanks so much
[10:47] <faemir_> Pie-rate, i have always had troubles with azureus :\
[10:47] <TheShrewdDude> While in the terminal, it's still random, but not in scripts.
[10:47] <saras> lituanian
[10:47] <mx259> hello
[10:47] <TheShrewdDude> And since $RANDOM doesn't work, I don't have random number generator functionality in my scripts anymore
[10:47] <saras> lithuanian
[10:47] <SamRose> Question: is apt-get install possible with live cd? I don't appear to be able to edit /etc/apt/sources.list
[10:48] <TheShrewdDude> Has anyone had similar problems?
[10:48] <mx259> can someone help me with wi-fi?
[10:48] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude,  ubuntu doesnt use bash for /bin/sh
[10:48] <rmd_> mx259: what about it?
[10:48] <LiENUS> does your shell script start with #!/bin/sh?
[10:48] <mx259> how to set it up
[10:48] <TheShrewdDude> Yes, the rest of the script is fine.
[10:48] <POVaddct> TheShrewdDude: $RANDOM in scripts does work. just make sure you dont have it in single quotes
[10:48] <saras> need to write where is a file in terminal when want to install it? and how (desktop)
[10:48] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude, change the first line to #!/bin/bash
[10:48] <TheShrewdDude> It's just that $RANDOM doesn't work for me :(
[10:48] <LiENUS> dont use #!/bin/sh and expect bash specific features to work
[10:48] <rmd_> mx259: in terms of what?  a router?  a wireless card?  getting your system to connect and work with it?
[10:48] <gili> could someone please tell me how to add mp3 gstreamer  pipeline to soundjuicer....? what is the command line for that?
[10:48] <faemir_> SamRose, well you can't edit the sources.list on the cd...
[10:49] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude, ubuntu uses dash for /bin/sh
[10:49] <rmd_> gili: sudo apt-get install <program name>
[10:49] <rp3> how do you tell firefox to use VLC instead of Totem?
[10:49] <faemir_> SamRose, and you can't update the cd
[10:49] <TheShrewdDude> lienus: I am using bin/bash.
[10:49] <saras> need to write where is a file in terminal when want to install it? and how (desktop)
[10:49] <tom__> saras: a deb file? just double click it.
[10:49] <POVaddct> TheShrewdDude: ah, i forgot! in edgy, /bin/sh is not bash
[10:49] <saras> nothing happens
[10:49] <TheShrewdDude> lienus: However, it won't load up random values for $RANDOM; it instead gives me a null value
[10:49] <gili> rmd_: i did not ask about that////
[10:49] <SamRose> faemir_so, I copy sources.list to it's own file?
[10:49] <linxeh> POVaddct: /bin/sh has never been bash? its bash but in "sh" compatibility mode ?
[10:49] <rmd_> gili: what did you ask about, then?
[10:50] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude,  the first line of the shell script is #!/bin/bash?
[10:50] <saras> just i see two extracted files
[10:50] <linxeh> oh its dash :)
[10:50] <TheShrewdDude> lienus: Yes.
[10:50] <saras> and i cant do anything with it
[10:50] <linxeh> my bad
[10:50] <gili> rmd_: i do not instructions on how to install anything.....i want gstreamer mp3 support in soundjuicer?
[10:50] <TheShrewdDude> I've set up a test script that reads:
[10:50] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude,  might want to check that because if i have a shellscript #!/bin/sh\necho $RANDOM it gives me a null value
[10:50] <tom__> gili: read the link i sent you. its easy.
[10:50] <LiENUS> but if i change the first line to #!/bin/bash it gives me a random number
[10:50] <POVaddct> linxeh: if /bin/sh is symlinked to bash, things like $RANDOM work even if called as /bin/sh. so it still behaves like bash.
[10:51] <TheShrewdDude> #!/bin/bash
[10:51] <TheShrewdDude> echo $RANDOM
[10:51] <rmd_> gili: oh.  i misunderstood
[10:51] <TheShrewdDude> it returns a null value :(

[10:51] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude, type ls -al /bin/bash
[10:51] <tom__> gili: follow that guide!
[10:51] <LiENUS> is it a symbolic link?
[10:51] <POVaddct> TheShrewdDude: how do you run your script?
[10:51] <gili> tom_: there you are....i am sorry i have looked at that guide brother....i got all the gstreamer pacakages installed
[10:51] <TheShrewdDude> povaddct: I use 'sh SCRIPT' in terminal
[10:51] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude,
[10:51] <linxeh> POVaddct: yeah - I've experienced that, but forgotten about it :)
[10:51] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude,  theres your problem
[10:52] <LiENUS> TheShrewdDude, ru nit as ./SCRIPT  in terminal
[10:52] <POVaddct> TheShrewdDude: then it is still executed with dash, not bash
[10:52] <TheShrewdDude> Oh! Thanks :)
[10:52] <tom__> gili: did you try rebooting?
[10:52] <POVaddct> TheShrewdDude: make it executable and run it as ./SCRIPT
[10:52] <mx259> rmd_ i don't know it's my first day on linux
[10:52] <gili> for what?\
[10:52] <k3ks> hi, i've got a problem
[10:52] <TheShrewdDude> thanks, guys, I'll try it :)
[10:52] <TheShrewdDude> Ah, it works.
[10:52] <rmd_> mx259: well, do you know that your installation supports your wireless card.  ie, do you know that it is turned on and cooperating?
[10:53] <gili> tom_: i want an mp3 profile in soundjuicer.....do u know the pipeline tags for that
[10:53] <POVaddct> TheShrewdDude: the #! is only evaluated if the run the script by calling it directly
[10:53] <mx259> no
[10:54] <rmd_> k
[10:54] <LiENUS> anyone know how to get selinux in ubuntu?
[10:54] <k3ks> if i change the theme of gnome, the window stle doenst change only the colors
[10:54] <tom__> gili: have you restarted soundjuicer?
[10:54] <gili> yep
[10:54] <k3ks> do you have a solution?
[10:54] <tom__> !anyone | lienus
[10:54] <ubotu> lienus: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[10:54] <gili> tom_: yep
[10:54] <TheShrewdDude> POVaddct: Cool, thanks, i'll try to remember that :)
[10:54] <rmd_> mx259: open up a terminal window, and type "iwconfig" w/o the quotes.  and tell me if you see any entries that do not say "no wireless extensions"
[10:54] <LiENUS> oi i wish i had a down key :/
[10:55] <livingdaylight_> can someone tell me what .m4a format is and what plugin i need to convert it to audio that gnomebaker can burn to cd
[10:55] <k3ks> m4a is from the ipod isn't it?
[10:55] <gili> tom_: i do not know if i am missing something in the gstreamer ....i think i have all of them
[10:55] <tom__> livingdaylight_: its a DRM ridden aac file from the Itunes music store.
[10:56] <tom__> livingdaylight_: there is no way to play it in anything other than itunes.
[10:56] <k3ks> if got ab problem:  if i change the theme of gnome, the window style doesnt change only the colors, does anyone has a solution?
[10:56] <tom__> livingdaylight_: use itunes to burn them all to a cd, then import the cd, and you'll have usable files.
[10:56] <rmd_> does anyone know how to make epic4 stop displaying join/part/logoff messages?
[10:56] <livingdaylight_> tom__, damn, a piece of crap
[10:56] <cheeseboy16> anyone kno a good n64 emulator?
[10:56] <miguel> estooooo, hay espaoles?
[10:57] <tom__> livingdaylight_: don't buy drm music in the future if you plan on using linux, it doesn't work out.
[10:57] <faemir_> livingdaylight_, yup.
[10:57] <livingdaylight_> tom__, i just downloaded it using nicotine off somebody else

[10:57] <agliv5> Greetings all :)  I'm am attempting to remove my linux kernel -11 so that I can return to -10 kernel.  I have rebooted using the -10 kernel, what do I do next?
[10:57] <livingdaylight_> tom__, so, i can play it on my computer but i just can't burn it to cd? weird...
[10:57] <LiENUS> agliv5, is there a reason for the regression?
[10:57] <Spragie`> i have an ntfs formatted (IDE) HD w/ music and stuffs on it, how would i go about mounting it so i could access the music and files?
[10:57] <rmd_> mx259: eth1 says something like "IEEE 802.11g" or whatever?
[10:58] <saras> can anyone say how to install deb to me??? two clicks on it nothing do. sorry for my broken english
[10:58] <saras> can anyone say how to install deb to me??? two clicks on it nothing do. sorry for my broken english
[10:58] <saras> can anyone say how to install deb to me??? two clicks on it nothing do. sorry for my broken english
[10:58] <tom__> livingdaylight_: opposite.
[10:58] <LiENUS> saras, sudo dpkg -i <file.deb>
[10:58] <livingdaylight_> tom__, but that is how it is here
[10:58] <LiENUS> without the < or > brackets
[11:02] <livingdaylight_> tom__, i downloaded the album and can play it but can't burn it
[11:02] <k3ks> i repeat, i've got a problem:  if i change the theme of gnome, the window style doesnt change only the colors, does anyone has a solution?
[11:02] <agliv5> LiENUS, yes kqemu isn't compatible with the the newest update of the -11 kernel
[11:02] <mx259> yes
[11:02] <LiENUS> agliv5, you compile kqemu yourself?
[11:02] <rmd_> mx259: do you see anything entered in the "ESSID:" section?
[11:02] <tom__> livingdaylight_: unless you plan on using itunes, there is no easy way of playing it. you have to use ITUNES <--- to burn them to a cd.
[11:02] <Spragie`> i have an ntfs formatted (IDE) HD w/ music and stuffs on it, how would i go about mounting it so i could access the music and files?
[11:02] <cheeseboy16> anyone kno a good n64 emulator?
[11:02] <tom__> !ntfs | spragie`
[11:02] <ubotu> spragie`: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions . For write access see !ntfs-3g or !fuse
[11:02] <faemir_> k3ks: are these the built in themes or new ones?
[11:02] <LiENUS> Spragie`, linux doesnt like ntfs
[11:02] <mx259> no
[11:02] <Xif> Hi. Kubuntu let me save my working sessions. Is there something similar for vanilla (==Gnome) Ubuntu?
[11:02] <LiENUS> its ill advised to use ntfs under linux
[11:02] <tom__> Lienus: yes it does.
[11:02] <livingdaylight_> tom__, i don't know if you are hearing me properly. I am playing the album on ubuntu without a problem, just burning is an issue
[11:02] <Spragie`> me either LiENUS
[11:02] <Spragie`> lol
[11:02] <Qzr> Where was the nvidia guild again?
[11:02] <Qzr> guide*
[11:02] <k3ks> faemir_: both
[11:02] <tom__> Lienus: ntfs reading is perfectly fine.
[11:02] <Spragie`> thank you tho tom__
[11:02] <mx259> empty
[11:02] <LiENUS> Spragie`, your best bet is to boot windows and move them to a fat drive...
[11:02] <Qzr> !nvidia
[11:02] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[11:02] <faemir_> Spragie`,  i would take it all off, reformat it as fat32, then put back on
[11:02] <saras> (--install):
[11:02] <saras>  cannot access archive: No such file or directory
[11:02] <saras> Errors were encountered while processing:
[11:02] <saras>  :(((((((((((((((((((((
[11:02] <rmd_> mx259: ok, do me a favor and type "iwlist eth1 scan" and tell me if it comes back with an entry OTHER THAN "ESSID: <hidden>"
[11:02] <k3ks> faemir_: al the murrine themes don't work an even human doesnt work
[11:02] <faemir_> Spragie`, because then both can read/write happily
[11:02] <LiENUS> saras, then apparently you dont have a .deb file to install
[11:02] <faemir_> k3ks, did it work when you first installed?
[11:02] <LiENUS> faemir_, and legally
[11:02] <riley> how do i execute .jar files?
[11:02] <tom__> spragie`: there are absolutely no issues relating to Reading NTFS drives. the problems LiENUS is worried about only happen if you enable Write support, which i also advise you don't do.
[11:02] <DARKGuy> !wmv

[11:02] <Advanced> i totally failed
