[03:35] <tritium> halycon: which alternatives did you change?  ls /etc/alternatives/java*, and you'll see that there are a few
[03:35] <gigabites2> Download it from the vendor site or use the cd that came with the card
[03:35] <clearscreen> FernandoF: Actually, I believe the nvidia-glx automatically configures your xorg configuration, I could be wrong though
[03:35] <FernandoF> clearscreen: it ends on a keyboard selection and i can not go further as no option there
[03:35] <gigabites2> mint3: Download it from the vendor site or use the cd that came with the card
[03:35] <little> FernandoF: I wrote a step by step guide on how to install the NVIDIA driver in Ubuntu and Kubuntu, but I'm not sure it would work for 8.10: http://littlegirl.hostrator.com/NvidiaDriverHowTo.html
[03:35] <clearscreen> FernandoF: do you get the same error if you press startx now?
[03:35] <flippo> halycon, you used the synaptic package manager to get the sun version?
[03:35] <mint3> its inbuilt in the laptop, gigabites2
[03:36] <halycon> flippo, yeah I have it installed
[03:36] <nikitis> Type nvidia-xconfig
[03:36] <gigabites2> mint3: lspci | grep Network
[03:36] <nikitis> As root
[03:36] <gigabites2> mint3: Should tell you the model
[03:36] <tritium> little: please don't recommend non-ubuntu packaged nvidia drivers here, unless you're prepared to be here 24/7 to support your method.
[03:36] <FernandoF> clearscreen: Fatal server error: no screens found
[03:36] <halycon> there was an update to one of the alternatives and it changed after the update was done
[03:36] <flippo> halycon, funny, that was enough to get sun java as the default everywhere, for me.
[03:37] <clearscreen> FernandoF: if you still get the same error when you run "startx", run "sudo nvidia-xconfig" as suggest above
[03:37] <simple> how do I open files as root? in the terminal?
[03:37] <mint3> doesnt show anything actually gigabites2
[03:37] <gigabites2> clearscreen: try nvidia-xconfig?
[03:37] <clearscreen> yup
[03:37] <gigabites2> mint3: case sensitive?
[03:37] <lantay77> i preformed a sudo apt-get upgrade and my console is now all jumbled... it is configuring console setup and asking for encoding on the console.
[03:37] <lantay77> what do i do?
[03:37] <acp_> hi im trying to learn raid and LVM, which should come first in a fresh installation LVM or Raid?
[03:38] <halycon> I have java-6-openjdk, java-6-sun, java-gcj and am not quite sure how to switch it to use the Java from sun
[03:38] <clearscreen> FernandoF: it'll probably ask if it can write changes to your xorg file, accept it
[03:38] <little> tritium: We've been using them for three years here without a hitch and they're supported by NVIDIA, with a links to some of their support on the page.
[03:38] <lantay77> how do i know which encoding to select?
[03:38] <tritium> little: irrelevant.  Please don't recommend them *here*, in this channel.
[03:38] <gigabites2> lantay77: ASCII is a safe bet. utf8 if you want support for accents, etc
[03:38] <nikitis> simple: Sudo <command> , or su -c "<command>"
[03:39] <lantay77> all i have is a bunch of ISO's KOI TIS and UTF-8
[03:39] <gigabites2> lantay77: go for utf-8
[03:39] <lantay77> i dont know which one to pick
[03:39] <lantay77> ok

[03:40] <tritium> halycon: as I recommended to you earlier
[03:40] <puff> gigabites2: Hm, well, I can't see /home anywhere in there.
[03:41] <puff> gigabites2:  Is there a way, given a directory (e.g. "/home") to track back to where it comes from?
[03:41] <gigabites2> puff: You'll need to manually mount it & add it to fstab
[03:41] <clearscreen> FernandoF: inside Section "Device" you will add Driver "nvidia" (just below Identifier)
[03:41] <simple> nikitis im trying to run "sudo apt-get clean" and it jumps right to the next line, how do I know that the command actually executed?
[03:41] <usser> puff, pwd
[03:41] <gigabites2> Chotaz: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/

[03:41] <simple> yay
[03:41] <simple> XD
[03:41] <clearscreen> :P
[03:41] <simple> i will take ur word
[03:42] <usser> puff, type mount, it will show you all mounted partition with info on where they are mounted
[03:42] <gigabites2> puff: Should be listed in /etc/mstab or /etc/fstab or else you mounted it manually & had to find the device name in the first place
[03:42] <gigabites2> puff: or do that.. ^^
[03:42] <clearscreen> simple: Jaunty 9.04 will have something called Computer Janitor, it'll clean apt cache too, amongst other things

[03:43] <lantay77> it finished fine and dropped me to console..
[03:43] <lantay77> is this a bad thing?

[03:45] <gigabites2> FernandoF: What's your nvidia card # ?
[03:45] <J_Litewski> how do you install grub2 over grub?
[03:45] <FernandoF> lets start by the last one
[03:45] <slimjim> so just put it in the /usr/share/theme folder

[03:48] <tritium> slimjim: you need to use sudo
[03:48] <gigabites2> Hilikus: try /etc/fstab
[03:48] <n8tuser> Hilikus-> its the udev rules, rules can be found int /etc/udev/rules.d
[03:48] <slimjim> tritium so i should untar it in that folder destinaiton then correct
[03:48] <FernandoF> clearscreen: my PC host name has been always "Malhada-Xibas" I just wonder if system does not like the - in the middle

[03:49] <TragicManner> Anyone know of the config file I can check to see if Remote Desktop is turned on?
[03:49] <n8tuser> TragicManner-> remote desktop? what do you mean?
[03:49] <FernandoF> clearscreen: it says "Malhada-Xibas"
[03:49] <tritium> slimjim: if you want it in /usr/local/share/, you'll need to 1) sudo mkdir /usr/local/share/themes, and then 2) unpack it into that directory
[03:49] <TragicManner> Ubuntu's built in VNC server, I believe. I probably have the wrong name.
[03:49] <slimjim> tritium if that is the case can you remind me the comamnd to type in to untar i can not remember
[03:50] <clearscreen> FernandoF: well this could be anything.. try: startx | grep (EE)
[03:50] <clearscreen> and tell us what it says
[03:50] <gigabites2> FernandoF: Do you have any sort of firewall? Can you access lo?
[03:50] <tritium> slimjim: it's a .tar?  .tar.gz?

[03:53] <kitche> clearscreen: type1 depending on where it is should be in xorg.conf it's fonts

[03:54] <gsk3> but if anyone has a quick answer to how to get an install CD to pass an option to a module it is loading, that would be great
[03:54] <kitche> jamiejackson: it might install to an image that isolinux will boot from
[03:54] <clearscreen> FernandoF: I have a feeling your xorg install is completely fucked.. are you sure you didn't download ubuntu server? :P
[03:54] <gsk3> I am running into an issue that seems to be due to ADMA support in the sata_nv driver, and many places on the 'net suggest shutting it down by passing sata_nv.adma=0 to the kernel when booting
[03:55] <gsk3> but in 8.10 that doesn't seem to be a recognized option
[03:55] <pirate> Is anyone else have severe stability issues with Jaunty?
[03:55] <kitche> !language | clearscreen
[03:55] <clearscreen> really? on the internet? damnit :P
[03:55] <gsk3> which I assume means that sata_nv is compiled as a module, but I can't get at modprobe.conf on the install CD...
[03:55] <n8tuser> pirate  please visit #ubuntu+1
[03:55] <jamiejackson> kitche: i let it do its thing on the stick the first go round (while the stick was still factory formatted to win32), wouldn't boot tho

[03:59] <ziroday> jamiejackson: sure
[03:59] <kitche> FernandoF: well the whole hostname issue is because you do not have the hostname in /etc/hosts
[03:59] <FernandoF> clearscreen: please line command
[03:59] <ziroday> bluenzo^nix: nautilus works, so does filezilla

[03:59] <bluenzo^nix> ty iceroot and ziroday
[03:59] <chronic> donjuanluis07: that was a question
[03:59] <jamiejackson> okay, ziroday. i tried it on the stick while it was still factory formatted, it went throgh the isntall just fine, but machine wouldn't boot it.
[04:00] <stategrid> fz
[04:00] <clearscreen> FernandoF: kitche might know what's going on, what does cat /etc/hosts say?
[04:00] <merkur> hi, i deactivated cleartype for most gnome apps, however a couple of apps still seem to have activated it (eg. opera/ kde apps) anyone knows how to fix this?
[04:00] <ziroday> nick761: not really, you won't get the speed bonuses unless you recreate all your files
[04:00] <ziroday> jamiejackson: okay, what computer do you have?
[04:00] <gigabites2> merkur: kcontrol or systemsettings (they're kde settings apps)
[04:00] <nick761> ah, I see
[04:00] <jamiejackson> ziroday: so first question, is it kosher/recommended that it be installed into a fat32 partition? cuz that's what it seems to want to do. dell d620 laptop
[04:00] <kitche> FernandoF: at least that was the error you were getting with the remove with xorg
[04:00] <n8tuser> Hilikus-> maybe 30-cdrom_id.rules?
[04:01] <merkur> gigabites2, thx for the fast response, will take a look at them!
[04:01] <jamiejackson> ziroday: i should note that i'm trying this with a jaunty image
[04:01] <Like> GOOD NIGTH PPL
[04:01] <FernandoF> <IP_ADDRESS> localhost
[04:01] <clearscreen> FernandoF: is there a line that says "<IP_ADDRESS>   (your-hostname)"
[04:01] <clearscreen> below that?
[04:01] <ziroday> jamiejackson: am not sure about what partition it should of installed to, but yes fat32 should be fine
[04:01] <Hilikus> n8tuser i chekde that one but it doesn't have anything that looks like a string "cdrom*"
[04:01] <ziroday> jamiejackson: what you need to make sure is that your BIOS knows to boot from the thumbdrive
[04:01] <FernandoF> clearscreen: <IP_ADDRESS> Malhada-Xibas.sol
[04:01] <jamiejackson> it can boot from other bootable thumbdrives, ziroday
[04:01] <ziroday> jamiejackson: am I making sense?
[04:01] <jamiejackson> yeah
[04:01] <FernandoF> clearscreen: and it is all
[04:01] <n8tuser> Hilikus-> well look around, should be there.. grep the whole dir
[04:02] <slimjim> can anyone tell me how to open archive manager as root from the command line so i can untar a packege to a protect folder
[04:02] <clearscreen> FernandoF: I dont think .sol is supposed to be there :P
[04:02] <Hilikus> n8tuser thats what i was thinking, ill try that, thanks
[04:02] <gigabites2> slimjim: just use tar from the terminal
[04:02] <clearscreen> FernandoF: unless that's actually your hostname
[04:02] <ziroday> jamiejackson: okay, so its just this thumbdrive. Err in theory it should work with a jaunty iso but I'm not certain, having never tried it myself
[04:02] <jamiejackson> ziroday: does the "create a usb startup disk" make the partition bootable as part of its process?
[04:02] <ziroday> jamiejackson: yes
[04:02] <gigabites2> slimjim: tar -xvzf
[04:02] <slimjim> gigabites2 i did that but got a erro meesage
[04:02] <kitche> slimjim: gksu archieve-manager but you can just do sudo tar -xvf <file> -C <folder you want to extract to>
[04:03] <slimjim> ok
[04:03] <slimjim> thanks
[04:03] <ziroday> jamiejackson: have you tried doing it from a jaunty livecd?
[04:03] <FernandoF> clearscreen: it is as sol is my network name and Malhada-Xibas is the host name ...so all machines in network recognize it
[04:03] <donjuanluis07> Magic jack is a VoIP via USB phone service that costs about $20 a year for unlimited local and long distance calling
[04:03] <kitche> FernandoF: well your hostname is messed up actually in your /etc/hosts
[04:03] <jamiejackson> no, ziroday, think i should try that? also should i reformat the stick?
[04:03] <FernandoF> may I had a new entry there?
[04:04] <He-man> Good day to you all:)
[04:04] <ziroday> jamiejackson: yeah that would be a good idea, as for reformatting your thumbdrive you shouldn't have to but you might as well :)
[04:04] <slimjim> thanks gigabiets and kitche
[04:04] <kitche> FernandoF: should look like this <IP_ADDRESS> Malhada-Xibas Malhada-Xibsa.sol
[04:04] <DesiArnez6> How can I add more data to my DVD, I have cd/dvd creator and gnomebaker
[04:04] <jamiejackson> ziroday: and back to fat32, the way it came?
[04:04] <clearscreen> kitche: shouldn't that be "<IP_ADDRESS>", at least for me it is
[04:04] <mint3> can i disable ndiswrapper
[04:04] <Fatalus> game
[04:04] <FernandoF> <IP_ADDRESS> is localhost
[04:04] <kitche> clearscreen: does not matter it's all the same
[04:04] <keith> test
[04:05] <ziroday> jamiejackson: thats fine
[04:05] <gigabites2> DesiArnez6: It must be formatted initially for multiple sessions
[04:05] <tacosarecool> !cmdr
[04:05] <clearscreen> FernandoF: I know ;) just stating what's in my own hosts file
[04:05] <ziroday> mint3: in a terminal do sudo rmmod ndiswrapper
[04:05] <jamiejackson> k, i'll try it out, need to burn the jaunty iso and reboot, etc, so bbiab
[04:05] <kitche> clearscreen: anything 127.x.x.x is all localhost anyways
[04:05] <DesiArnez6> gigabites2 IT is a DVD-R not RW, but its only half full
[04:05] <keith> hi guys, ive just installed 8.10 on a machine, and I can load GRUB but if I try and run ubuntu from the default option it stalls, if i go into recovery mode and then resume standard boot it loads fine. what am i missing
[04:05] <DesiArnez6> gigabites2 so i dont think i can format
[04:05] <clearscreen> kitche: i guess because of the netmask
[04:06] <gigabites2> DesiArnez6: Doesn't matter. If you mastered your DVD on the first burn, it's done.
[04:06] <ziroday> jamiejackson: sure
[04:06] <clearscreen> FernandoF: but yeah, according to the /etc/hosts documentation, it should be    <IP_ADDRESS> (hostname) (alias)
[04:06] <gigabites2> DesiArnez6: What I meant is, there's such thing as multi-session formatting that allows you to change data for 20mb or so per write. But if you mastered it from the start, you can't add to it.
[04:06] <mint3> when i type modprobe ath_pci i get "all confg files need .conf : /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in future release"
[04:07] <gigabites2> mint3: modprobe ndiswrapper
[04:07] <clearscreen> FernandoF: sudo nano /etc/hosts
[04:07] <DesiArnez6> gigabites2 This is my first dvd burn ever, so i am new at this, im trying to backup hard drive before i update to newer ubuntu.....Ahhh, How do I know if i mastered it?
[04:07] <clearscreen> FernandoF: then change your wrong line with this: <IP_ADDRESS> Malhada-Xibas Malhada-Xibas.sol
[04:07] <keith> anyone able to answer my quick question? ive just installed 8.10 on a machine, and I can load GRUB but if I try and run ubuntu from the default option it stalls, if i go into recovery mode and then resume standard boot it loads fine. what am i missing
[04:07] <gigabites2> Can you write anything else to it?
[04:07] <FernandoF> clearscreen: now i get confused .... I have 2 lines one is <IP_ADDRESS> localhost and the second is <IP_ADDRESS> Malhada-Xibas.sol
[04:07] <clearscreen> change the second line
[04:07] <FernandoF> clearscreen: shd I have a neew one?
[04:07] <norbs> trying a live disc and i get an error no screens found... help!

[04:09] <keith> hi there, thanks in advance... anyone able to answer my quick question? ive just installed 8.10 on a machine, and I can load GRUB but if I try and run ubuntu from the default option it stalls, if i go into recovery mode and then resume standard boot it loads fine. what am i missing?

[04:10] <BellinXFelon> how can i rip an mp3 stream as a single mp3 file?
[04:10] <gigabites2> slimjim: the internal tar.gz can be installed through the gnome-appearances gui under system->preferences
[04:10] <zaccour> vector linux
[04:10] <DesiArnez6> gigabites, how do I avoid mastering in the future, or does the default program "CD/DVD Creator" always master without allowing multi session
[04:10] <FernandoF> clearscreen: with sudo?
[04:10] <gigabites2> kitche: vector linux
[04:10] <clearscreen> FernandoF: yes, sorry
[04:10] <kitche> zaccour: wrong channel to ask that really
[04:11] <clearscreen> zaccour: if that's a distro, this is #ubuntu
[04:11] <norbs> how do I reconfigure x?
[04:11] <mint3> gigabites2,  it says hardware present : yes
[04:11] <kitche> gigabites2: I know what vector linux is I just did not know that vector was
[04:11] <chronic> donjuanluis07: nice
[04:11] <mint3> now what gigabites2
[04:11] <gigabites2> mint3: then it's not installed
[04:11] <clearscreen> norbs: dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:11] <gigabites2> mint3: then it is installed
[04:11] <norbs> clearscreen: great, thanks
[04:11] <gigabites2> mint3: modprobe -r ndiswrapper && modprobe ndiswrapper
[04:11] <slimjim> gigabites2 that is what i am triyng to fig out the other person had me put it in /usr/local/share/themes was this correct
[04:11] <mint3> yeah it is listed in ndiswrapper -l
[04:11] <FernandoF> clearscreen: ignoring unknown interface
[04:11] <zaccour> kitche, clearscreen i know this, but i want to know if its SIMILAR to Ubuntu, and people here might know
[04:11] <mint3> all in 1 line, gigabites2  ?
[04:12] <gigabites2> mint3: yes
[04:12] <kitche> zaccour: no it's much like slackware but your offtopic
[04:12] <zaccour> so yes, it is on topic
[04:12] <clearscreen> FernandoF: should be unrelated
[04:12] <BellinXFelon> is there any way to configure kstreamripper to rip a mp3 stream to a single mp3 file
[04:12] <clearscreen> FernandoF: try to startx now
[04:12] <BellinXFelon> ?
[04:12] <FernandoF> clearscreen:eth0, eth1, eth2 and ath0 and wlan0

[04:12] <slimjim> gigabites2 you cut yourself off
[04:12] <kitche> zamba: no this is support channel not random chatter
[04:13] <mint3> then right after writes : error removing ndiswraper, operation not permitted
[04:13] <gigabites2> slimjim: That's only necessary for a whole system install. If you want to use it only for yourself, install via appearances. It offers a gui & is much easier
[04:13] <FernandoF> clearscreen: waiting for X server to shut down
[04:13] <mint3> i can see it in ndiswrapper -l though
[04:13] <DesiArnez6> This is my error :WARNING: /dev/sr0 already carries isofs! does it mean my dvd is mastered?
[04:13] <gigabites2> DesiArnez6: Yes
[04:13] <clearscreen> FernandoF: mmmm
[04:13] <kitche> zamba: sorry I have my quits on ignore did not see zaccar leave
[04:13] <clearscreen> FernandoF: what is the error this time? specifically the lines that start with (EE)
[04:14] <lstarnes> DesiArnez6: it means that it has already been formatted
[04:14] <gigabites2> mint3: use sudo
[04:14] <FernandoF> an amse errors of module "type1" and config/hal
[04:14] <slimjim> gigabites2 ok i hate to be bothersome i am still a newb even tho i have been around linux for over 10 years. i am finaly diving in head first. got rid of windows and now only run linux. so i am afraid to say i dont unerstand how to do what you are saying with the gui. i mean i know how to get the appearnce menu but I am not sure how to bind the certian icons i want to a certian theme
[04:14] <mint3> same thing, gigabites2
[04:14] <gigabites2> mint3: sudo modprobe -r ndiswrapper && sudo modprobe ndiswrapper
[04:14] <mint3> it says exactly the same thing
[04:14] <DesiArnez6> *Insert expletive* ;) how do I avoid this in the future, I want to continually back up to my dvd, not just one burn
[04:14] <gigabites2> FernandoF: type1 module is obsoleted; irrelevanted
[04:14] <gigabites2> FernandoF: type1 module is obsoleted; irrelevant
[04:15] <mint3> gigabites2,  - same thing, doesnt do anything just moans
[04:15] <FernandoF> clearscreen: the same i listed before
[04:15] <BellinXFelon> mp3 stream ripping as one file?
[04:15] <gigabites2> slimjim: Use the install theme setting & then you can use the customize button
[04:15] <clearscreen> FernandoF: cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
[04:15] <FernandoF> clearscreen: Failedt to load module "type1" /module does not exist, 0)

[04:15] <gigabites2> mint3: sorry, exact output?
[04:16] <mint3> ok
[04:16] <mint3> it says
[04:16] <brandon___> how do i make a file from terminal?, is it mkfile
[04:16] <BellinXFelon> testfile
[04:16] <gigabites2> FernandoF: type1 module is obsoleted; cannot be loaded. it is irrelevant. You can comment it out in xorg.conf too
[04:16] <FernandoF> clearscreen: and config/hal: couldnt initialize context : (null) ((null))
[04:16] <mint3> when i type modprobe ath_pci i get "all confg files need .conf : /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in future release"
[04:16] <mint3> ignore the start
[04:16] <clearscreen> Well Im not sure if trying to load a non-existent module is a critical error.. but it's worth to try
[04:16] <mint3> "all confg files need .conf : /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in future release
[04:16] <clearscreen> FernandoF: sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:16] <mint3> thats what it says
[04:17] <gigabites2> mint3: When you installed, did you extract all the files needed & installed with the .inf file?
[04:17] <gigabites2> install**
[04:17] <clearscreen> FernandoF: press Ctrl+W and find "type1", at the beginning of that line enter a "#"
[04:17] <mint3> i think so gigabites2
[04:17] <mint3> downloaded the .inf in a directory
[04:17] <brandon___> how do i make a file from terminal?, is it mkfile
[04:17] <clearscreen> FernandoF: after editing: CTRL+O and CTRL+X
[04:17] <mint3> then installed it thru windows wireless drivers
[04:17] <FernandoF> clearscreen:done
[04:17] <gigabites2> mint3: Did you include the .sys and all that too?
[04:17] <jamiejackson> you can do touch, clearscreen
[04:18] <clearscreen> jamiejackson: enlighten me :P
[04:18] <mint3> the sys file is there too, same dir as the .inf
[04:18] <jamiejackson> touch fileToCreate.txt
[04:18] <jamiejackson> blank file
[04:18] <gigabites2> mint3: Ok. And it says the hardware is installed..
[04:18] <gigabites2> mint3: But you can't load the module?
[04:18] <babylonsfury> help, my usb keyboard in linux is so sluggish i can barely type
[04:18] <clearscreen> jamiejackson: we're editing xorg, not creating new files :P
[04:19] <clearscreen> FernandoF: CTRL+O to save, CTRL+X to exit nano, then try startx again
[04:19] <jamiejackson> sorry, clearscreen, i meant brandon___
[04:19] <MeXTuX> How can I know which video driver is my video card using?? My xorg.conf file doesn't say anything about it :(
[04:19] <clearscreen> jamiejackson: ah.
[04:19] <mint3> when i first click on wireless network drvers, it says "unable to see if hardware is present" so i press ok  but in the list it says "net5211" hardware present:es
[04:19] <mint3> when i first click on wireless network drvers, it says "unable to see if hardware is present" so i press ok  but in the list it says "net5211" hardware present: Yes
[04:19] <gigabites2> MeXTuX: try lsmod
[04:19] <FernandoF> clearscreen: error: config/hal: couldný initialise context
[04:20] <mint3> and when i type ndiswrapper -l it shows up in  there
[04:20] <gigabites2> MeXTuX: You know your card; search for display or something like that
[04:20] <brandon___> jamiejackson: any idea's
[04:20] <slimjim> gigabites2 thank that worked no i am going to see if i can find where to adjust the transparency
[04:20] <clearscreen> FernandoF: mmpf
[04:20] <gigabites2> slimjim: Sure. :)
[04:20] <gigabites2> mint3: Very strange
[04:20] <mint3> sigh
[04:20] <gigabites2> mint3: tell ya what, uninstall from the gui again
[04:20] <mint3> im tryin hard u know
[04:20] <babylonsfury> anyone?
[04:20] <mint3> ok
[04:20] <DesiArnez6> Is there a way to multisession with "CD/DVD Creator" without mastering the DVD? Or is another program needed
[04:20] <FernandoF> clearscreen:??
[04:20] <mint3> u mean get rid of the .inf
[04:20] <mint3>  ?
[04:20] <gigabites2> mint3: i know. I'm sorry it's hard to get working
[04:20] <FloodBot2> mint3: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[04:21] <clearscreen> FernandoF: same problem when restarting gdm? sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:21] <FernandoF> clearscreen: mmpf?
[04:21] <bullgard4> What is the effect of the keyboard shortcut Alt+F7 in X (Or should I say 'X')?
[04:21] <gigabites2> mint3: No, just the entry in Windows Wireless Drivers
[04:21] <clearscreen> FernandoF: mmpf as in *sigh* :P
[04:21] <mint3> ok done, gigabites2
[04:21] <gigabites2> bullgard4: ctrl+alt+f7 switches to tty7
[04:21] <clearscreen> FernandoF: try: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:21] <gigabites2> mint3: Ok, now open a terminal to the directory containing the .inf file
[04:21] <MeXTuX> My card is a but the device section in the xorg.conf doesn't have anything about a driver. The card is a 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82946GZ/GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
[04:22] <bullgard4> gigabites2: I am not speaking about Ctrl+Alt+F7. Rather, about Alt+F7.
[04:22] <mint3> how do i do that gigabites2   ?
[04:22] <mint3> gigabites2,  i saved it in "documents" am in the folder right now
[04:22] <clearscreen> bullgard4: for me, it attempts to "move" the focused window
[04:22] <jamiejackson> brandon___: what do you want to do, create a blank file?
[04:22] <gigabites2> mint3: You can use "ls" to determine the files in your current directory
[04:22] <Herr_Aklea> http://chat.xlivetchat.com ;)
[04:22] <gigabites2> mint3: cd can be used to change directories
[04:23] <mint3> am usin file browser, gigabites2
[04:23] <gigabites2> oh..
[04:23] <bullgard4> clearscreen: Is this an X feature or a GNOME feature?
[04:23] <clearscreen> bullgard4: gnome
[04:23] <mint3> ok am in the terminal in that directory, gigabites2
[04:23] <gigabites2> bullgard4: It depends on your window manager
[04:23] <gigabites2> mint3: Ok, now..
[04:24] <bullgard4> clearscreen: Thank you for your help.
[04:24] <gvsa123> just to make sure, settings, add ons, configurations of applications are all stored in your home directory right? so backing up you /home backs up everything you need? or are there some other directories you'd need to backup as well?
[04:24] <brandon___> jamiejackson: yes i wan't to create a blank file via terminal
[04:24] <gigabites2> mint3: sudo ndiswrapper -i <thedrivername>.inf
[04:24] <FernandoF> clearscreen: hurrah! we got graphics card again
[04:24] <clearscreen> FernandoF: cool! :)
[04:24] <FernandoF> clearscreen: but gnome seems to have problems
[04:24] <bullgard4> gigabites2: What depends on my window manager?
[04:24] <clearscreen> oh?
[04:24] <FernandoF> clearscreen: we have a 10 seconds session error yet
[04:24] <mint3> ok
[04:24] <gigabites2> bullgard4: the function of alt+f7
[04:24] <jamiejackson> brandon___: touch fileYouWant.txt
[04:24] <mint3> done, gigabites2
[04:24] <gigabites2> mint3: try ndiswrapper -l again
[04:24] <clearscreen> FernandoF: what exactly does it say? some rights issue?
[04:24] <mint3> kept sayin "forcing parameter mapregisters from 256 to 64 "
[04:24] <bullgard4> gigabites2: Ah!
[04:25] <mint3> says net5211 : driver installed
[04:25] <gigabites2> bullgard4: You can map it to do basically whatever you want

[04:25] <FernandoF> clearscreen: failed to read directory "/etc/dbus-1/session.d
[04:25] <bonez46> how would I install any new flavor of ubuntu.. on my machine? how to allow both the current and the new versions to run..
[04:25] <brandon___> jamiejackson: okay.
[04:25] <gigabites2> FernandoF: Maybe you need to change the permissions
[04:26] <mint3> same reply, gigabites2
[04:26] <gigabites2> bonez46: You can install kubuntu as it would be from the live cd w/ apt-get install kubuntu-desktop
[04:26] <bullgard4> gigabites2: Well, this may be true. But firstly I am interested in knowing what the effect is in the default Ubuntu 8.04.2 installation.
[04:26] <hanasaki> what isa good gui based tool for ftp/scp ?
[04:26] <brandon___> jamiejackson: now what?
[04:26] <mint3> "all confg files need .conf : /etc/modprobe.d/ndiswrapper, it will be ignored in future release
[04:26] <clearscreen> FernandoF: CTRL + ALT + F2, log in again
[04:26] <ArchaicPeriege> hanasaki: filezilla
[04:26] <slimjim> gigabites2 can you point me in the right direction for i belive they are called winglets or something like that. those little things that hang out on the desktop like your cpu and system monitor and network analizer and that kinda of stuff
[04:26] <gigabites2> bullgard4: Try it. I don't think it's mapped by default
[04:26] <FernandoF> clearscreen: do you need all message or that runs a bell?
[04:26] <jamiejackson> brandon___: the file is created, you wanted to create a blank file right? so you're done
[04:26] <ArchaicPeriege> slimjim: screenlets
[04:26] <mint3> says the same thing again, gigabites2
[04:26] <clearscreen> FernandoF: just CTRL+ALT+F2, log in again
[04:27] <gigabites2> slimjim: Desklets. I also recommend conky if that's what you want
[04:27] <gigabites2> mint3: I'm not sure why.. Strange.
[04:27] <bonez46> gigabites2: ok, what if i wanted to install, say.. suse.. or fedora.. I realize both wouldn't run simultaneously.. but can I install several different os's..
[04:27] <ArchaicPeriege> bonez46: you can partition space for them, and then install them to that partition
[04:27] <clearscreen> FernandoF: after that, "sudo ls -l /etc/dbus-1/session.d"
[04:27] <gigabites2> bonez46: Sure. Do you mean virtualization or dual-booting?
[04:27] <FernandoF> clearscreen: ctrl alt f2 does nothing
[04:27] <mint3> :((
[04:27] <slimjim> ok conky does the same thing
[04:27] <gigabites2> FernandoF: Should change you to tty2
[04:28] <bonez46> dual booting
[04:28] <thrillERboy> hi guys
[04:28] <Herr_Aklea> irc2.xLivetChat.com 6667
[04:28] <ArchaicPeriege> bonez46: you can partition space for the new OS, then install it via the distro's installer
[04:28] <gigabites2> bonez46: Set partition space for them & do separate installs. Grub will handle the booting stuff
[04:28] <bonez46> or , if i want to install Ultimate Ubuntu...
[04:28] <bullgard4> gigabites2: Your recipe is not practical. To test every single bit in a computer oneself one would need more than a lifespan. Thus theories have been created. Theories are very practical. Not so your advice.
[04:28] <clearscreen> FernandoF: what do you see now? :P
[04:28] <bonez46> ok...
[04:28] <bonez46> i think my boys will like this Ultimate package..
[04:28] <gigabites2> bullgard4: Ok, the keyboard shortcuts tells you what each & every combination does
[04:29] <thrillERboy> I've just installed a nvidia legecy driver, and ubuntu was fine.... but when I restarted, the moment i enter the login screen the monitor display out of range dialog
[04:29] <chronic> where is the option to change the startup sound in kubuntu
[04:29] <gigabites2> bullgard4: system->preferences->keyboard settings
[04:29] <mrgreek> hello everybody
[04:29] <brandon___> jamiejackson:
[04:29] <thrillERboy> I guess, I've set the frequency to 84Hz
[04:29] <ArchaicPeriege> !hi | mrgreek
[04:29] <brandon___> You do not have the permissions necessary to save the file. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again.
[04:29] <gigabites2> chronic: run gdmsetup with admin rights
[04:29] <FernandoF> clearscreen: i am restarting to get access to command line
[04:29] <clearscreen> FernandoF: ok
[04:29] <mint3> :(((
[04:29] <mrgreek> my first time here since i began working with ubuntu
[04:29] <gigabites2> mint3: I really don't know. :
[04:30] <thrillERboy> how can I set my screenrefresh rate to 60Hz without loggin to using the graphical interface
[04:30] <gigabites2> mint3: You have the correct driver and everything, right?
[04:30] <brandon___> jamiejackson: i tryed editing it in /usr/local/ircd/ect/ircd.conf
[04:30] <chronic> gigabites2: in kubuntu
[04:30] <brandon___> jamiejackson: i tryed editing it in /usr/local/ircd/ect/
[04:30] <brandon___> but i go that error
[04:30] <jamiejackson> where are you trying to create it, brandon___ (and what are you going to do with this file, it's pretty odd to just want to create a blank file)
[04:30] <chronic> gigabites2: ?
[04:30] <bullgard4> gigabites2: There is no  system->preferences->keyboard settings
[04:30] <mint3> i think so i got it from a ubuntu forum
[04:30] <mrgreek> (man, this is soooo confusing)
[04:30] <evilnick> tacosarecool: HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH
[04:30] <mint3> maybe thats why
[04:30] <tritium> crdlb: you were right
[04:30] <bonez46> is there a channel for ultimate ubuntu?
[04:30] <clearscreen> thrillERboy: modify /etc/X11/xorg.conf or use sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:30] <ArchaicPeriege> bullgard4: what distro are you on?
[04:31] <evilnick> tacosarecool: Guess what?
[04:31] <gigabites2> chronic: I'm not as familiar with kdm. Try kcontrol or systemsettings (kde control center)
[04:31] <ArchaicPeriege> bullgard4: as in Kubuntu, Ubuntu, Xubuntu etc…
[04:31] <mrgreek> ???
[04:31] <bullgard4> ArchaicPeriege: Ubuntu 8.04.2
[04:31] <xlormcolin> so this is irc, eh?
[04:31] <gigabites2> bullgard4: Ubuntu?
[04:31] <gigabites2> xlormcolin: Eh.

[04:31] <brandon___> jamiejackson: in this location /usr/local/ircd/ect/ircd.conf
[04:32] <bullgard4> gigabites2: Ubuntu 8.04.2
[04:32] <FernandoF> i tryed it
[04:32] <gigabites2> xlormcolin: No'm ;)
[04:32] <mrgreek> hey, that's the distro i am running (ubuntu 8042)
[04:32] <clearscreen> FernandoF: without the " at the end
[04:32] <FernandoF> clearscreen and got no sch file or directory
[04:32] <xlormcolin> are there any irc clients better than xchat?

[04:32] <xlormcolin> well, that you guys think are better
[04:32] <clearscreen> FernandoF: sudo apt-get install dbus

[04:33] <bullgard4> gigabites2: Ah! I found it. Thank you very much for your help.
[04:34] <gigabites2> bullgard4: Certainly. :)
[04:34] <FernandoF> clearscreen done
[04:34] <gigabites2> clearscreen: It may be in the best interests to restart @ this point. If you're messing w/ dbus, something's messed up.
[04:34] <gigabites2> clearscreen:reinstall I mean
[04:35] <mrgreek> Well, i will come back another time...take care .... goodnight from Toronto/Canada.
[04:35] <thrillERboy> thanks clearscreen will come back on ubuntu if I get lucky
[04:35] <clearscreen> gigabites2: tell me about it, I wouldve reinstalled when xorg problems started to arise :P
[04:35] <jamiejackson> i gotta go brandon, but if you wanna create a blank file in a restricted spot: 'sudo touch yourfile.txt', if you wanna actually edit it: 'sudo pico yourfile.txt', if you want a gui editor 'gksu gedit yourfile.txt'
[04:35] <clearscreen> FernandoF: sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart
[04:35] <TaG^> what is the command to see what is my MAC id is?
[04:35] <slimjim> can or is anyone willing to help me understand this page i am trying to finish making a theme work and only have a few last things to adjust mainly firefox here is the link with the sript http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Darkfix+(+easy+fix+for+browsers+)?content=74504
[04:36] <ArchaicPeriege> slimjim: did you try reading the instructions/documentation?
[04:37] <gigabites2> slimjim: I don't speak finnish, but I'll try!
[04:37] <slimjim> ArchaicPeriege yes i did i just understand what to put in after i untar it for the browser.
[04:37] <slimjim> gigabites2 it should be english that is what i have on my end
[04:38] <FernandoF> clearscreen /usr/bin/xmodmap: 1 error encountered, aborting
[04:38] <asdgh> i have a wacom intuos3 tablet, and do multimedia design, I hate vista, so I want to try linux.  What distribution is best for me?
[04:38] <gigabites2> slimjim: Oh, ok. You basically just copy & paste the directions into the terminal.
[04:38] <asdgh> is ubuntu a word for linux?
[04:38] <clearscreen> asdgh: it's one of the many linux distributions
[04:38] <FernandoF> clearscreen EOF in dbus-launch reading address from bus daemon
[04:38] <gigabites2> !Ubuntu
[04:38] <asdgh> clearscreen ahh, this chat is what I got when i did "linux chat" in google
[04:39] <clearscreen> FernandoF: I'm running out of ideas, I'd suggest backing up (if even needed) and just reinstalling
[04:39] <asdgh> so what distro works out of box with wacom tablets
[04:39] <thebitguru> Hi, can I configure sysklogd to log messages from a specific program to a given file?
[04:39] <quietas>  /msg NickServ identify dinklefritz
[04:39] <clearscreen> Thanks quietas! :P
[04:39] <gigabites2> FernandoF: If you're messing around with dbus, something is very much messed up and it's in your best interests to attempt a reinstallation
[04:40] <FernandoF> Thx for your big patience
[04:40] <ArchaicPeriege> asdgh: it would probably be worth it to just start looking at the various wikis for different distibutions to see
[04:40] <quietas> grr
[04:40] <quietas> damned space
[04:40] <gigabites2> asdgh: http://distrowatch.com
[04:40] <clearscreen> :D
[04:40] <slimjim> gigabites2 i got it up but what would firefox be labeld as ie i would type ./darkfix -r (browser)
[04:40] <FernandoF> how do I reinstall?
[04:40] <clearscreen> FernandoF: how did you install? :P
[04:40] <gigabites2> slimjim: firefox-bin?
[04:40] <asdgh> ArchaicPeriege I would like to do that, but I need to do it within a few hours.
[04:40] <gigabites2> slimjim: try that
[04:41] <asdgh> ArchaicPeriege short on time, gotta deadline coming up and photoshop died in vista
[04:41] <asdgh> got a*
[04:41] <ArchaicPeriege> asdgh: you can use the GIMP on vista
[04:41] <FernandoF> I started some time ago with 7.04 and just updated till now
[04:41] <slimjim> ok give me asec
[04:41] <fliptop> asdgh: http://www.linux-laptop.net/
[04:41] <clearscreen> FernandoF: easiest way is to download an iso,  burn it to CD, and boot from it
[04:41] <asdgh> ArchaicPeriege I tried.  vista is f'ed up, superfetch keeps closing for some reason, and explorer.exe randomly restarts
[04:41] <mickey> hello
[04:42] <ArchaicPeriege> !hi | mickey
[04:42] <slimjim> gigabites2 nope and neither is firefox would it be mozilla
[04:42] <FernandoF> is sio file a runnable one?
[04:42] <clearscreen> FernandoF: you'll need software to burn it to cd
[04:42] <gigabites2> slimjim: firefox or firefox-bin. Idk. Firefox-bin is what is executed by firefox
[04:42] <quietas> Ok,  now that I've got the obligitory newbishness out of the way, can anyone point me at an example for an smb.conf with which has shares with user read/write, guest read, and also a share will all = read/write?
[04:42] <ArchaicPeriege> asdgh: ouch. I originally had problems with Vista, which was why I changed to Linux. But the wikis are probably the spot to check, as this channel is mostly for Ubuntu support
[04:43] <asdgh> ArchaicPeriege thank you, i found ##linux chat so Ill check that out
[04:43] <FernandoF> as my system is on internet is not there a command to make it directly?
[04:43] <ArchaicPeriege> asd
[04:43] <ArchaicPeriege> asdgh: glad I could help
[04:43] <slimjim> yea these are scripts so like were the fonts and backgrouns are stored at i will fig it out. i just ahve to find were firefox is stored and browser thur the folders
[04:44] <clearscreen> FernandoF: not really, recommend to just download it on your windows PC, and burn it with this to cd: http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm
[04:44] <mickey> Will i be able to integrate to the new version of Ubuntu without reinstalling?

[04:44] <FernandoF> clearscreen Ok...I have a copy  already I am having problems on burn but will try to bypass them
[04:45] <FernandoF> clearscreen thx for your great help
[04:45] <quietas> gigabites2: I'll check that
[04:45] <clearscreen> mickey: you can change your /etc/apt/sources.list , and do an apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
[04:45] <clearscreen> FernandoF: no problem
[04:46] <FernandoF> gigabites2 thanks as well
[04:46] <gigabites2> FernandoF: :)
[04:46] <gigabites2> slimjim: should be in /usr/share/firefox or something similar
[04:46] <FernandoF> gigabites2: no ideas to fix it on your part less anful than reinstall
[04:46] <racecar56> im running a highly customized ubuntu (fluxbox) in a vbox vm and i want to know how to change it's ip
[04:47] <slimjim> gigabites2 thanks and if you can think of any good reading that may help you can send it my way
[04:47] <ArchaicPeriege> racecar56: what do you mean "change it's IP"?
[04:47] <gigabites2> slimjim: I'll try.
[04:47] <bullgard4> gigabites2: Do the keyboard shortcuts listed in System > Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts > (Keyboard Shortcuts) > Action apply to all GNOME or to MetaCity or what program did implement them?
[04:47] <mickey> thanks clearscreen!
[04:47] <FernandoF> gigabites2:less painful i mean
[04:47] <ArchaicPeriege> bullgard4: GNOME
[04:47] <bullgard4> ArchaicPeriege: Thank you.
[04:48] <gigabites2> FernandoF: Actually, reinstall is least painful, I believe
[04:48] <ArchaicPeriege> bullgard4: no problem, glad I could help
[04:48] <racecar56> ArchaicPeriege it was port forwarded to a 192.168.1.x address but i has to tweak my router, so i want it to use <IP_ADDRESS> and not what it was before
[04:48] <FernandoF> gigabites2: it seems the problem is with bus daemon
[04:48] <exophonix> with glxgears 59913 frames in 5.0 seconds = 11982.509 FPS  <------is corect ???
[04:48] <gigabites2> FernandoF: Well, if you have a separate /home partition you worry about settings
[04:48] <gigabites2> FernandoF: Indeed. I'm not sure why though.
[04:48] <FernandoF> I was feeeling so close ...lol  or so ignorant ...ehehe
[04:48] <Jesse_Robinson> i have windows xp media center and for some reason everytime i boot it up i get a blue screen before windows starts rendering my comp useless. I thought my hard drive my be out so i started up a live cd ubuntu 8.04. when i tried to mount my hard drive i got an error saying it couldnt be mounted but ive ran a hard drive diagnostic tool and everything came back ok. what could be wrong?
[04:49] <gigabites2> FernandoF: It's all a learning experience. ;)
[04:49] <clearscreen> FernandoF: well install is like 5 clicks or so :P
[04:49] <gigabites2> Jesse_Robinson: Driver issues on Windows
[04:49] <Jesse_Robinson> but i didnt update my drivers
[04:49] <ArchaicPeriege> racecar56: can't you just use bridged hosting (I don't really Virtualize, so I don't know what it's called) so that it has the same IP as the computer it is running on?
[04:49] <gigabites2> FernandoF: True. As linux distros go, Ubuntu is pretty easy to install.
[04:50] <Jesse_Robinson> do you still think thats it?
[04:50] <racecar56> ArchaicPeriege i dont want it to be same as host >_>
[04:50] <ArchaicPeriege> Jesse_Robinson: probably
[04:50] <FernandoF> clearscreen: problem is I will lose all configurations I hav .... eheeh
[04:50] <gigabites2> Jesse_Robinson: sounds like it would be but idk what you've changed recently
[04:50] <fliptop> Jesse_Robinson:  if it bluescreened, it wasn't a clean shutdown.  ub won't mount unless you use -force
[04:50] <gigabites2> FernandoF: Backup your /home
[04:50] <clearscreen> FernandoF: you can back up your home directory
[04:50] <Jesse_Robinson> i didnt change anything, thats the thing
[04:50] <Jesse_Robinson> i cant even start up safe mode
[04:50] <FernandoF> how?
[04:50] <ArchaicPeriege> racecar56: what program are you using to virtualize?
[04:51] <gigabites2> FernandoF: Save to an external drive?
[04:51] <gigabites2> FernandoF: Or is it all on a separate partition?
[04:51] <fliptop> Jesse_Robinson:  did you run seatools on your hd 1st?
[04:51] <clearscreen> FernandoF: quickest way to get your files to your windows PC (if you dont have an external harddrive), is to install WinSCP on your windows PC and install openssh-server on your linux pc
[04:51] <gigabites2> FernandoF: If so, then you can just not format your home
[04:51] <Jesse_Robinson> no im not sure what that is
[04:51] <FernandoF> No partitions on my computer
[04:52] <sshc> beardy, http://pastebin.com/f576539d
[04:52] <fliptop> Jesse_Robinson: http://www.seagate.com/support/seatools/
[04:52] <gigabites2> I disagree. Fastest way to is mount an external drive & cp -r /home
[04:52] <FernandoF> It was updated to ubuntu after a severe virus atack under windows which ruined sector 3 of HDD
[04:52] <clearscreen> gigabites2: note the "if you dont have an external harddrive" :P
[04:52] <gigabites2> Granted, then you have to change permissions
[04:52] <gigabites2> FernandoF: Oh, yes. Sorry. :P
[04:53] <gigabites2> clearscreen: I get carried away..
[04:53] <Jesse_Robinson> ok so say my drive is fine, what do i do then?
[04:53] <gigabites2> Jesse_Robinson: Celebrate?
[04:54] <clearscreen> FernandoF: do you have an external harddrive? or maybe a USB stick
[04:54] <fliptop> Jesse_Robinson: see if it's bad 1st, if not then mount it (w/ the live cd) using -force
[04:54] <shade34321> does anybody know anything where i can design digital logic gates with while using ubuntu?
[04:54] <FernandoF> yes
[04:54] <Jesse_Robinson> ok so would it be sudo -force mount [drive] ?
[04:54] <gigabites2> fliptop: File system may be corrupt
[04:54] <thebitguru> anyone?
[04:54] <FernandoF> I have a 380 GB backup external HDD
[04:54] <gigabites2> Jesse_Robinson: sudo fdisk -l
[04:54] <tritium> shade34321: did you look under the electronics section in synaptic package manager?
[04:54] <Jesse_Robinson> ok
[04:54] <gigabites2> Jesse_Robinson: Find the ntfs partition from windows
[04:55] <shade34321> nope...didnt know it was there....let me look real fast
[04:55] <shade34321> thanks
[04:55] <clearscreen> anyway, i'm gonna grab a cup of coffee and some food, it's like 05:54 at night
[04:55] <gigabites2> Jesse_Robinson: Then..
[04:55] <eseven73> at morning*
[04:55] <FernandoF> sun almost rising
[04:56] <gigabites2> Jesse_Robinson: sudo mkdir /media/disk && sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o f /dev/*d*** /media/disk && cd /media/disk
[04:56] <hollenjf> whats the most popular DVD riping tool into say,,, avi?
[04:56] <gigabites2> Jesse_Robinson: sudo mkdir /media/disk && sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o force /dev/*d*** /media/disk && cd /media/disk
[04:57] <FernandoF> clearscreen I have that drive external
[04:57] <gigabites2> FernandoF: Ok, plugged it in?
[04:57] <Jesse_Robinson> ok
[04:57] <bluenzo^nix> ikonia: supo
[04:57] <Jesse_Robinson> ill see what happens
[04:58] <gigabites2> FernandoF: you need to mount it manually
[04:58] <hollenjf> whats the most popular DVD riping tool into say,,, avi?
[04:59] <FernandoF> ok
[04:59] <gigabites2> hollenjf: You'll need a combination of tools. The general unix philosophy is do one thing and do it well. Given that, you'll need a few tools.
[04:59] <fliptop> hollenjf:  k9copy is what i use
[04:59] <gigabites2> FernandoF: Ok, so type in sudo fdisk -l
[05:00] <gigabites2> FernandoF: Can you figure out the disk partition from that?
[05:00] <quibbler> hollenjf-> look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=400570
[05:00] <gauravkittz> hi
[05:01] <thrillERboy> hey guys when I tried to change screen refresh rate with "modify /etc/x11/xorg.conf" and "sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" both din't worked
[05:01] <moxfalder> hiBuntu !
[05:01] <mashman> !wine > mashman
[05:01] <mashman> !wine
[05:01] <FernandoF> gigabite2 /dev/sdb is the disk
[05:02] <fliptop> hollenjf:  or here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/RippingDVDs
[05:02] <gigabites2> Which partition though?
[05:02] <gigabites2> Like /dev/sdb1 ?
[05:02] <thrillERboy> is there anyway to just open the xorg.conf and just change 84Hz to 60Hz?
[05:02] <moxfalder> how to make some winNDIS drivers (wi-fi) loaded automaticaly with system ?
[05:02] <gigabites2> thrillERboy: Did dpkg-reconfigure create a new xorg.conf file for you?
[05:02] <FernandoF> it says Partition table entries are not in dsk order
[05:03] <ziroday> moxfalder: what do you have to do currently?
[05:03] <gigabites2> moxfalder: Add ndiswrapper to /etc/modules
[05:03] <FernandoF> gigabite2 dev7SDB1
[05:03] <gigabites2> FernandoF: You just need the volume #
[05:03] <FernandoF> gigabite2 dev/sdb1
[05:03] <moxfalder> ziroday: wi-fi by ndiswrapper load at startup !
[05:04] <gigabites2> FernandoF: Ok. So  sudo mkdir /media/disk
[05:04] <ziroday> moxfalder: like when you startup what commands do you have to type etc to get your wireless to work?
[05:04] <gigabites2> moxfalder: use /etc/interfaces.
[05:04] <moxfalder> ziroday: modprobe !
[05:04] <gigabites2> ziroday: He wants it to load independently of gnome I think
[05:04] <quibbler> thrillERboy-> use gksudo gedit/path/to/oxrg.conf
[05:04] <ziroday> gigabites2: with network manager you should not be using /etc/interfaces
[05:04] <ziroday> gigabites2: ah, well in that case ")
[05:05] <gigabites2> ziroday: Unless I misread in which case.. yeah, you're right. :)
[05:05] <moxfalder> ziroday: modprobe -r b43
[05:05] <moxfalder> modprobe -r ndiswrapper
[05:05] <moxfalder> cd /lib/firmware/wifi
[05:05] <moxfalder> ndiswrapper -i bcmwl5.inf
[05:05] <ohzie> Hey, any quick tips on troubleshooting sound? :)
[05:05] <FloodBot2> moxfalder: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:05] <eseven73> not! every! sentence! needs! an"!" you're showing your age when you do that.
[05:05] <eseven73> ...
[05:05] <clearscreen> Do I detect broadcom?
[05:05] <ziroday> moxfalder: add ndiswrapper to the bottom of /etc/modules as gigabites2 said and add b43 to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist
[05:05] <moxfalder> sorrry, this may be in one row . oops !
[05:05] <clearscreen> I believe there's a very decent NATIVE driver out there these days for broadcom devices
[05:06] <gigabites2> clearscreen: Depends on the card
[05:06] <FernandoF> gigabite2 cannot create directory /media/disk  : File existe
[05:06] <gigabites2> FernandoF: sudo mkdir /mnt/disk
[05:06] <thrillERboy> gigabites2: I have no Idea... It opened a 8 bit display like interface... I was following the instrucions and it seemed like a dead end
[05:07] <fhdknpc> hi all
[05:07] <Jesse_Robinson> gigabits2 i tried it and it said mount point /dev/sda3/media/disk is not a directory
[05:07] <gigabites2> thrillERboy: It uses an ncurses interface to reconfigure xorg.conf. Should generate a file for you to work with
[05:07] <FernandoF> gigabite2 cannot create '/mnt/disk' : No sch file or directory
[05:07] <gigabites2> Jesse_Robinson: You want to mount /dev/sda3 to /media/disk
[05:08] <gigabites2> FernandoF: sudo mkdir -p /mnt/disk
[05:08]  * tux_machina says good evening
[05:08] <thrillERboy> okie will try
[05:08] <Jesse_Robinson> and how will i do that?
[05:08] <clearscreen> mount /dev/sda3 /media/disk
[05:08] <FernandoF> gigabite2 done
[05:08] <clearscreen> mount should autodetect FS-type
[05:08] <Jesse_Robinson> ok, i didnt get the space
[05:09] <gigabites2> FernandoF: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o /dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk
[05:09] <Jesse_Robinson> uhh...it says mount is denied because ntfs is marked to be in use
[05:09] <gigabites2> FernandoF: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g -o force /dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk
[05:09] <gigabites2> Jesse_Robinson: add -o force
[05:10] <mun> hi
[05:10] <slimjim> gigabites2 i used the synaptic to install conky but i do not see it on the app list
[05:10] <Jesse_Robinson> at the beginning?
[05:10] <gigabites2> slimjim: Try starting it from a terminal
[05:10] <clearscreen> mount -o force /dev/sdb1 /media/disk
[05:10] <FernandoF> gigabite2 ntfs? my external drive is FAT32
[05:10] <albech> i am on my way to buy a netbook for my dad. I want it to be able to run Ubuntu.. I have looked at the Acer Aspire One D150. Any better recommendations?
[05:10] <mun> i just installed a new hard drive and now, upon startup, the ubuntu splashscreen only lasts for about 10s then msgs like "Reading files needed to boot" come up. does anyone how to get the splash screen back?
[05:10] <gigabites2> FernandoF: nevermind my ntfs then
[05:10] <slimjim> gigabites2 (./conky)
[05:11] <gigabites2> FernandoF: I assumed ntfs since Windows & it was 320gb
[05:11] <clearscreen> FernandoF: remove "-t ntfs-3g", filesystem should usually be autodetected in my experience
[05:11] <gigabites2> slimjim: just type in conky
[05:11] <hcMyth> Hi. I am having problems installing ubuntu; it won't detect the ide hard disk. I've tried booting with all_ide_generic and tried modprobe ide-generic but no luck. Any ideas? Can I perhaps install it using the os(gentoo) that's on the machine now?
[05:11] <slimjim> ok thanks
[05:11] <slimjim> thanks
[05:11] <Jesse_Robinson> thank you so much!
[05:11] <gigabites2> slimjim: your config file is ~/.conkyrc    you probably download a premade one though
[05:11] <slimjim> gigabites2 i hate to be a pain and dont mean to heckle you, thanks for all your help
[05:12] <gigabites2> slimjim: It's cool.
[05:12] <slimjim> gigabites2 that is why i like the ubuntu group, i was using dreamlinux but not much support and deiban channel was not all the helpfull either this group has always been there when i need help
[05:12] <Psuedo> greetings
[05:12] <clearscreen> hcMyth: I have sometimes had more luck changing the access mode from auto to large/lba in the bios
[05:12] <Psuedo> What's faster, accessing Virtual Machines on a Network Share (IDE hard-drive) or accessing Virtual Machines via FUSE (NTFS-3g on SATA hard-drive)?
[05:12] <albech> hcMyth: i cannot recommend Gentoo unless you REALLY know what you are doing
[05:12] <mun> what does the 1 in "UUID=a76fe101-7951-4a65-af1e-50b2902c5b35 / ext3 relatime,errors=remount-ro 0 1" mean?
[05:13] <gigabites2> slimjim: Glad to hear it. :)
[05:13] <hcMyth> Yeah I tried gentoo and didn't like it :P So I want to replace it with ubuntu
[05:13] <hcMyth> cleasrscreen: I'll try that, brb

[05:13] <clearscreen> Psuedo: even when reaching max capacity over a network, I think you're going to be better off using ntfs-3g
[05:13] <mun> gigabites2, what does it mean by a pass?
[05:13] <gigabites2> mun: should be labeled in fstab
[05:13] <albech> hcMyth: I only run it on server.. for any desktop purpose ubuntu is the way to go imo
[05:14] <slimjim> gigabites2 ok conky just display right now my cpu and ram and swap so what is the one i can use to display like a weather alert or something like that. sorta like vi$ta has the sidebar
[05:14] <clearscreen> although i've had some disappointing results with vmware and ntfs-3g: one tip, pre-allocate the data
[05:14] <Psuedo> clearscreen: Thanks.
[05:14] <clearscreen> ntfs-3g performs really badly if it has to dynamically allocate the data
[05:14] <FernandoF> gigabite2 done but has some messages
[05:14] <Jesse_Robinson> so do you think windows will boot now gigabites2?
[05:14] <mun> gigabites2, basically i've got a new hard drive which is now a slave and i'm trying to setup fstab. should it use 0 1 or 2?
[05:15] <gigabites2> slimjim: Yes, it's possible. It requires some scripting knowledge though. Try using the conky website. They have pre-made configurations there.
[05:15] <alucardromero> Hello... ;)
[05:15] <FernandoF> gigabite2 wrong fs type
[05:15] <clearscreen> gigabites2: you might have to specify the FS type after all
[05:15] <gigabites2> It's of little relevance mun, that's only the order fsck checks
[05:15] <alucardromero> Does anybody know a solution to the 8.10+Nvidia=blank screen solution?
[05:15] <gigabites2> FernandoF: -t vfat
[05:16] <gigabites2> alucardromero: card model?
[05:16] <mun> gigabites2, ok thanks
[05:16] <albech> hcMyth: i think there is a module option for generic ide where you can tell it to probe for all gereric devices or something
[05:16] <hcMyth> Ok my bios has UDMA transfer modes and PIO 0./... what one should I pick.. ultra dma etc..?
[05:16] <vbabiy> Any one doing django development on Ubuntu?
[05:16] <alucardromero> 7900GT/GTO
[05:16] <hcMyth> Well I tried modprove ide-generic; is that what you mean?
[05:16] <FernandoF> it is seens
[05:16] <gigabites2> hcMyth: UDMA. PIO is ridiculously slow
[05:17] <FernandoF> gigabite2 send me a command to address it
[05:17] <hcMyth> yes but my harddisk won't be detected during linux install gigabite
[05:17] <albech> hcMyth: no the module should have some additional option.. let me look
[05:17] <hcMyth> So during install someone suggested changing the mode might help
[05:17] <gigabites2> FernandoF: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdb1 /mnt/disk
[05:17] <clearscreen> helped me before
[05:17] <alucardromero> I tried envyng as well as installing it myself and I end up with a blank screen at login.  I can still here the little drums signaling that it's at that screen.
[05:17] <gigabites2> hcMyth: Perhaps. You  can try.
[05:18] <alucardromero> I get this bug on both 32 and 64 versions of 8.10
[05:18] <Psuedo> Was there a new version of NTFS released with Windows 7?
[05:18] <clearscreen> Psuedo: not to my knowledge
[05:18] <FernandoF> gigabite2 done
[05:18] <gigabites2> Windows 7 hasn't been released. Hard to say at this point in time
[05:18] <quibbler> slimjim-> look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=867076&highlight=.conkyrc+config
[05:18] <gigabites2> Ok.
[05:19] <Psuedo> I have the Beta installed
[05:19] <gigabites2> FernandoF: mkdir /mnt/disk/backup
[05:19] <alucardromero> Does anybody know a solution to the 8.10+Nvidia=blank screen solution?
[05:19] <clearscreen> alucardromero: can you pastebin your xorg log
[05:20] <tonit> Hi I'm running Ubuntu 8.10. I just changed my screen res and now only see jagged lines. I had to boot from the ubuntu desk to get my desktop back. Can someone help me change it?
[05:20] <clearscreen> alucardromero: /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[05:20] <quibbler> slimjim-> and look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=869328
[05:20] <Jesse_Robinson> ok so my hard drive is fine but i keep getting a blue screen when i try to boot into windows, what could the prob be?
[05:20] <alucardromero> I'm on a different machine.
[05:20] <clearscreen> tonit: modify your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[05:21] <FernandoF> gigabite2 done
[05:21] <gigabites2> FernandoF: cp -r /home /mnt/disk/backup/
[05:21] <gigabites2> Jesse_Robinson: Drivers. ;)
[05:21] <Jesse_Robinson> haha how do i fix that?
[05:21] <clearscreen> alucardromero: enter TTY2 (ctrl+alt+f2), then upload your Xorg logfile somewhere
[05:21] <gigabites2> Jesse_Robinson: Good question.
[05:21] <clearscreen> Jesse_Robinson: this is #ubuntu :P
[05:21] <albech> hcMyth: 'ide_generic: please use "probe_mask=0x3f" module parameter for probing all legacy ISA IDE ports'
[05:21] <Jesse_Robinson> yeah i know but i thought i might as well ask since i was here :)
[05:22] <hcMyth> as boot option?
[05:22] <tonit> clearscreen: I can't recall how - I'm pretty new
[05:22] <gigabites2> Jesse_Robinson: Yup. I recommend a windows-specific channel/forum/wherever-you-can-get-help
[05:22] <clearscreen> Jesse_Robinson: well, it very much depends on the error
[05:22] <clearscreen> tonit: mount your local disk
[05:22] <Jesse_Robinson> it just says the boot process failed, pretty much
[05:22] <clearscreen> tonit: I assume you're on a livecd now?
[05:22] <gigabites2> Jesse_Robinson: Windows Drivers are outside our area of expertise
[05:22] <Jesse_Robinson> join #windows
[05:22] <tonit> yes live cd
[05:22] <albech> hcMyth: yes
[05:22] <clearscreen> tonit open a console
[05:23] <gauravkittz> i am new to irc. can someone inform me about a channel for beginners
[05:23] <tonit> ok
[05:23] <hcMyth> ok thanks :) So... insmod=ide_generic probe_mask=0x3f?
[05:23] <albech> or try it when you load the module on your live cd to test
[05:23] <albech> yes
[05:23] <hcMyth> okay, brb

[05:23] <meoblast001> hi
[05:23] <meoblast001> what is the name of the kernel module i need to address 4 gigs of memory in 32 bit mode?
[05:24] <tonit> yep
[05:24] <gigabites2> pxe?
[05:24] <clearscreen> tonit: sudo fdisk -l
[05:24] <meoblast001> gigabites2: was that to me?
[05:24] <tonit> ok
[05:24] <gigabites2> meoblast001: That's what the technology is called. Idk how you get it to be honest
[05:24] <gigabites2> meoblast001: Probably to compile a special kernel?
[05:24] <gigabites2> meoblast001: Probably have** to compile a special kernel?
[05:25] <clearscreen> tonit: what's the device called that has System "Linux"?
[05:25] <clearscreen> (/dev/???)
[05:25] <hcMyth> I tried "sudo modprobe ide-generic probe_mas=0x3f" and I get a fatal error about either an unknown parameter or inserting the ide-generic driver
[05:25] <meoblast001> gigabites2: i don't know how to compile kernels

[05:25] <gigabites2> meoblast001: http://pxe.dev.aboveaverageurl.com/index.php/PXE_Booting/Debian

[05:25] <clearscreen> sda1
[05:25] <clearscreen> k
[05:25] <meoblast001> gigabites2: that is PXE booting.... which is used to netboot
[05:26] <clearscreen> tonit: mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/local
[05:26] <clearscreen> sorry
[05:26] <clearscreen> tonit: sudo mount /dev/sda1 /tmp/local
[05:26] <FernandoF> gigabite2 i am having a lot of operation not permited and can not creat file
[05:26] <FernandoF> still working
[05:26] <gigabites2> meoblast001: Wow, I'm feeling stupid. Sorry!
[05:26] <clearscreen> FernandoF: ctrl + c to stop
[05:26] <gigabites2> meoblast001: Wrong link.
[05:26] <clearscreen> and do the same thing but with "sudo" in front
[05:26] <tonit> thanx for sudo. heh. total noob
[05:27] <gigabites2> FernandoF: use sudo on the cp
[05:27] <clearscreen> tonit: done? :P
[05:27] <usser> gigabites2, PAE you mean
[05:27] <FernandoF> could it be as no sudo
[05:27] <meoblast001> gigabites2: we all make mystakes
[05:27] <tonit> done
[05:27] <gigabites2> usser: Yes!
[05:27] <clearscreen> tonit: cd /tmp/local/etc/X11/
[05:27] <usser> meoblast001, you can just install server kernel it has PAE extensions enabled by default
[05:27] <FernandoF> gigabite2 started same way
[05:27] <Neff> how do i close an unresponsive program
[05:27] <tonit> k
[05:27] <meoblast001> usser: what else does it have/nothave
[05:27] <gigabites2> FernandoF: example of error?
[05:28] <meoblast001> usser: i don't want random drivers to not work
[05:28] <clearscreen> Neff: open a console and use 'kill all'
[05:28] <jambo> Hello, Will My Windows Compatible Software Work With Ubuntu?
[05:28] <clearscreen> Neff: or run 'ps aux', find the process id, and use kill -9 (process id) to kill it
[05:28] <usser> meoblast001, its pretty much the same kernel
[05:28] <meoblast001> ok
[05:28] <Neff> clearscreen: i don't want to kill all i just want to close this one program
[05:28] <usser> meoblast001, and its not like you're marrying to it you can always go back to generic :)
[05:28] <FernandoF> cp: cannot create symbolic link ....
[05:28] <clearscreen> Neff: I meant "killall" not "kill all"
[05:28] <ziroday> jambo: depends what software it is
[05:28] <albech> hcMyth: im not sure what is wrong.. i am using that parameter when loading the IDE driver on one of my embedded devices
[05:28] <meoblast001> usser: should i remove the generic kernel?
[05:28] <clearscreen> Neff: killall (name_of_program)
[05:28] <ziroday> jambo: but as a general rule: not really
[05:28] <clearscreen> tonit: done?
[05:29] <FernandoF> gigabite2 last message was for you ..
[05:29] <albech> hcMyth: sorry i cant be of more assistance
[05:29] <tonit> yes done
[05:29] <usser> meoblast001, no you can leave it
[05:29] <clearscreen> tonit: sudo nano xorg.conf
[05:29] <prohna> im looking to get a framebuffer system going, but im not sure if i even have framebuffer setup, can anyone point me to a good guide or something?
[05:29] <usser> meoblast001, grub will offer you a choice which kernel you want to boot
[05:29] <Neff> clearscreen: how do i find the program name?
[05:29] <FernandoF> clearscreen cp: cannot create symbolic link ....
[05:29] <jambo> THanks
[05:29] <jambo> Bye
[05:29] <gigabites2> FernandoF: Ok, that's not a serious error. FAT32 doesn't have support for symlinks, I don't think. You can try cp -a in place of cp -r
[05:29] <gigabites2> FernandoF: See what happens
[05:29] <hcMyth> I got it to work
[05:29] <hcMyth> seems I made a typo.
[05:29] <tonit> clearscreen I'm in GUI nano 2.0.7
[05:29] <clearscreen> Neff: if you don't know the programs name it's going to be a little hard.. run "ps aux", there will be a whole list of processes
[05:30] <meoblast001> usser: k
[05:30] <hcMyth> However the ide drive still won't be seen.
[05:30] <gigabites2> Neff: ps aux | less
[05:30] <clearscreen> tonit: do you see any text?
[05:30] <hcMyth> thanks anyway albech :)
[05:30] <quibbler> Neff-> Try System--->Admin--->System Monitor --- from here click on the Processes tab, select whats locked up and kill it using the button located conveniently below the list of running processes.
[05:30] <meoblast001> usser: linux-image-server and linux-headers-server?
[05:30] <usser> meoblast001, yep
[05:30] <tonit> just File:xorg.com - no text
[05:31] <usser> meoblast001, restricted modules too if its there
[05:31] <meoblast001> k
[05:31] <clearscreen> tonit: I said xorg.conf, not xorg.com
[05:31] <gauravkittz> irc.freenode.net:6667
[05:31] <clearscreen> tonit: CTRL+X to close nano
[05:31] <FernandoF> clearscreen : now is faster and error is failed to preserve ownership for .... Operaion not permited
[05:31] <clearscreen> tonit: sudo nano xorg.conf
[05:31] <gigabites2> FernandoF: FAT doesn't have permissions
[05:31] <tonit> clearscreen fixed it - now I see text
[05:31] <histo> I'm going to scream.
[05:32] <FernandoF> but are files copied?
[05:32] <clearscreen> tonit: scroll down
[05:32] <gigabites2> FernandoF: try this: rm -r /mnt/disk/backup/*
[05:32] <meoblast001> usser: can't find the restricted
[05:32] <gigabites2> FernandoF: (cleaning up first)
[05:32] <tonit> scroll down to?
[05:32] <clearscreen> not sure from the top of my head, but somewhere down that file is the configuration for your resolutions and refresh rates
[05:33] <gigabites2> FernandoF: What's your user's home directory called?
[05:33] <tonit> I'm at the bottom

[05:33] <J-a-k-e> Hi, is anyone able to tell me if the latest beta version of ubuntu has good sound quality for creative x-fi card compared to windows ? As someone who's an avid music/audio nut I've found earlier versions of ubuntu haven't been 'quite' up to scratch for my ears
[05:34] <syntac> i just installed alsa-{driver,utils,lib} from source, rebooted, but now i can't hear anything. any ideas? (it is unmuted)

[05:35] <gigabites2> FernandoF: cp -r /home/fernano /mnt/disk/backup/

[05:35] <gigabites2> FernandoF: cp -r /home/fernando /mnt/disk/backup/
[05:35] <FernandoF> cleascreen  fernando, but i want to preserve another one as well called talinha
[05:35] <gigabites2> Ohh.
[05:36] <clearscreen> gigabites2: somewhat unrelated question, but does cp copy 'hidden' files (starting with .) or doesn't it make a distinction between those files?

[05:37] <gigabites2> linx_user: Is that a card?
[05:37] <clearscreen> tonit: that's weird
[05:37] <linx_user> its a usb card thingy

[05:38] <tonit> When I Ctr W  it says SEARCH [Modes]:
[05:38] <linx_user> okay 1sec
[05:38] <gigabites2> FernandoF: I can't explain it. Sorry. I don't know enough, I guess.
[05:38] <FernandoF> cleascreen  because can not create regular file or can not create symbolic link
[05:38] <clearscreen> tonit: look for Section "Screen"
[05:38] <tonit> then when I press enter >  Modes not found
[05:38] <tonit> I see it
[05:38] <gigabites2> clearscreen: Can't explain FernandoF's errors. Thought FAT didn't support permissions or symlinks though, so that's probably it.
[05:39] <clearscreen> well try -f
[05:39] <quibbler> linx_user-> look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=225206
[05:39] <clearscreen> maybe you need to force when you have symlinks
[05:39] <Jesse_Robinson> what would the best bootable antivirus be?
[05:39] <clearscreen>  sudo cp -rf /home /mnt/disk/backup/
[05:40] <Incarus> Jesse_Robinson, you can boot knoppix, it got ClamAv as antivirus installed
[05:40] <FernandoF> cleascreen  same errors
[05:40] <gigabites2> clearscreen: All that does is remove & try again? Idk. You could try it.
[05:40] <BigMoopies> In pidgin, does anyone know where the plugin album stores it's images ?
[05:40] <clearscreen> gigabites2: i was hoping it would suppress symlink errors
[05:41] <clearscreen> although I assume all other files except for symlinks must be copied
[05:41] <FernandoF> i think we are all tyred ... better come again anothe day ....thx all and goodnight
[05:41] <RussM_> FernandoF, If you want the symlinks copied as symlinks, you might prefer tar
[05:41] <Incarus> tnoic, whats the problem?
[05:41] <gigabites2> FernandoF: Sure thing.
[05:41] <Incarus> tonic, whats the problem?

[05:42] <clearscreen> mtholdenss: chown / chmod
[05:43] <beezcyber> hellooo...
[05:43] <tonit> I changed the screen resolution on the gui and got total distortion, had to boot from the live cd

[05:44] <mtholdenss> i can access some files/folders but just not the core folders like music, documents etc

[05:44] <yinlong> gigabites2:sorry,i am in the LAN
[05:44] <tonit> ack
[05:44] <clearscreen> not enough experience with those files
[05:44] <Incarus> tonit, can you paste the xorg.conf file?
[05:44] <alucardromero> Blah, screw this... I'm rolling back to 8.04
[05:44] <tonit> well, I suppose I'm ok using live cd until I figure it out
[05:45] <gigabites2> yinlong: Im sorry, what was your issue?
[05:45] <tonit> I don't know, I'm a noob....did we do that clearscreen?

[05:51] <Supertanker> pawan1234, have you tried Audacity?
[05:51] <Incarus> Kelen, /var/log/boot
[05:51] <Supertanker> I believe it can do that.
[05:51] <pawan1234> no
[05:51] <tonit> here's link:   http://pastebin.com/m79a72b60
[05:51] <Incarus> Supertanker, yes, it can
[05:51] <Supertanker> It's in the Universe repos, I believe. Audacity is a free sound editor.
[05:51] <Supertanker> It may or may not have batch editing too; let me check.
[05:52] <Supertanker> Eh if it does I don't recall how to use it
[05:52] <Supertanker> pawan1234, I think Audacity is what you're looking for.
[05:52] <Kelen> Incarus: the boot is nothing in my case.
[05:52] <yinlong> who knows how to set the IP ?

[05:53] <dr_willis> I thought all the monitors used lm-sensors
[05:54] <tonit> ok, the strange thing is - I installed nwn and it did the same thing. I changed my screen res to see if it would help.
[05:54] <Incarus> Kelen, k
[05:54] <yinlong> dr_willis:i need the steps clearly
[05:54] <clearscreen> yinlong: ifconfig, and if you want a more permanent solution: /etc/network/interfaces
[05:54] <RussM_> billybigrigger, conky? I don't use it, but a friend recommended it to me.
[05:54] <clearscreen> Incarus: the odd thing is, I dont have any resolutions in my xorg.conf file too :P
[05:55] <clearscreen> either*
[05:55] <Incarus> clearscreen, he could paste the /MOUNTPOINT/var/log/Xorg.0.log file
[05:55] <Anusien> I'm having trouble getting my Radeon X1200 installed.  I can't seem to download drivers; I was told the radeonHD drivers would work for me.  Is that true, and what do I do after installing xserver-xorg-video-radeonhd?
[05:55] <tonit> hmmm.
[05:55] <Anusien> (specifically what changes do I need to make to xorg.conf?)
[05:55] <quibbler> billybigrigger_-> add hardware monitor to a pane;
[05:55] <Neff> clearscreen: the program is the Listen media player in xubuntu, i can't get it to close
[05:55] <quibbler> panel
[05:55] <Incarus> clearscreen, yes, that is ok, because ubuntu recognize the screen resolution automatically
[05:56] <yinlong> clearscreen:yes ,i did this,but after that ,i checked it ,the ip is the same
[05:56] <clearscreen> Incarus: I realize that, but tonit specifically stated that he got a garbled screen after CHANGING the resolution from within ubuntu
[05:56] <clearscreen> surely it must be stored somewhere
[05:56] <RussM_> billybigrigger, I installed gkrellm, but it seems to be a bit of a hog.
[05:56] <tonit> correct
[05:56] <Incarus> Anusien, "gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf"
[05:56] <tonit> (she)
[05:56] <clearscreen> oh, sorry :)
[05:57] <clearscreen> I'm not sure how ubuntu manages resolution outside of the "allowed modes" that xorg.conf prescribes
[05:57] <kernel09l> where can i find good documents regarding xen
[05:58] <Incarus> Anusien, then go to <<Section "Device">> and if there is a line with "Driver", then change the thing after Driver to "radenhd"
[05:58] <Incarus> tonit, which graphic card do u use?
[05:58] <eqisow> man xen
[05:59] <tonit> good question ...lemme think
[05:59] <jamiejackson> I installed jaunty to usb stick. updated via update mgr, rebooted, now I'm at some initramfs prompt. what do I do now?
[05:59] <Incarus> clearscreen, are you sure that that was the correct xorg.conf?
[05:59] <eqisow> jamiejackson: the jaunty support channel is #ubuntu+1
[05:59] <Incarus> clearscreen, i think it whas the file from linux live cd
[05:59] <tonit> DOes ATI sound right?
[06:00] <tonit> not the newest one tho
[06:00] <jamiejackson> k
[06:00] <clearscreen> Incarus: nah, I made him mount his linux partition to /tmp/local
[06:00] <Incarus> clearscreen, ok
[06:01] <Incarus> tonit, can you paste "ls /tmp/local/var/log/Xorg.0.log"?
[06:02] <clearscreen> tonit: sorry, I meant "I made her"
[06:02] <eqisow> Incarus do you really mean the output of ls?
[06:02] <quibbler> kernel09l-> http://bits.xensource.com/Xen/docs/user.pdf
[06:02] <JAO1988> haha
[06:02] <kinja-sheep> !chown
[06:02] <Incarus> eqisow, yes, man
[06:02] <clearscreen> tonit: sudo gedit  /tmp/local/var/log/Xorg.0.log   << put it on pastebin again :P
[06:03] <kernel09l> quibbler, thanks this helps me....
[06:03] <Incarus> clearscreen, but the linux terminal is very powerful
[06:03] <JAO1988> Hey
[06:03] <tonit> http://pastebin.com/m21419c30
[06:03] <JAO1988> I'm back
[06:03] <kinja-sheep> Meh. I'm trying to find how-to for chown on external storage devices,.
[06:04] <clearscreen> (II) VESA(0): VBESetVBEMode failed...Tried again without customized values.
[06:04] <JAO1988> Anybody happen to know how to use OpenThinClient?
[06:04] <vegombrei> hi
[06:04] <kevin_zhongg> hello
[06:04] <vegombrei> i have a wierd problem .. ubuntu cant update itself always has an error connecting to its update sites
[06:04] <RussM_> kinja-sheep, chown on external storage devices? Why? What are you trying to do?
[06:05] <crdlb> vegombrei: what version of ubuntu are you using?
[06:05] <gren420> Does anyone know of a program that enables two fingered scrolling?
[06:05] <kevin_zhongg> I currently Dual-boot XP and Ubuntu, but I want to get rid of XP, and install a new copy of Ubuntu, how should I go about doing this?
[06:05] <Brando753> hey is there a irc channel to just help designers build programs?
[06:05] <kinja-sheep> RussM_: Can't modify the files on USB.  Need to re-acquire ownership.
[06:05] <ziroday> vegombrei: whats the error?
[06:05] <ziroday> Brando753: ##programming?
[06:06] <crdlb> gren420: I believe it requires X changes which are now in jaunty (the next release)
[06:06] <Incarus> clearscreen, the audit errors aren't nice
[06:06] <clearscreen> tonit: reboot into your ubuntu installation (not live CD) - there press CTRL+ALT+F2 and login - after that  enter: "sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg", set your resolution to something lower.. this should work :P
[06:06] <tonit> thanks clearscreen, I'll give it a shot
[06:06] <kevin_zhongg> can anyone give suggestions? I currently Dual-boot XP and Ubuntu, but I want to get rid of XP, and install a new copy of Ubuntu, how should I go about doing this?
[06:06] <pretender> When i try to add video file in DeVeDe on ubuntu 8.10 it closes i have tried the version from the repo's and the latest version and they both do the same thing
[06:07] <RussM_> kinja-sheep, You mean the files on the USB drive aren't owned by you, and you can't change them, but you want to have ownership of them so you can read them?
[06:07] <Incarus> clearscreen, an why do he heave vesa drivers with ati?
[06:07] <gren420> crdlb I think its a touchpad program I used to use it but I can't remember the name
[06:07] <kinja-sheep> RussM_: That's it.
[06:07] <clearscreen> kevin_zhongg: when installing you can tell ubuntu to use the whole disk
[06:07] <RussM_> kinja-sheep, Can you mount the USB drive with uid and gid options?
[06:07] <clearscreen> Incarus: that's another issue :P
[06:07] <kevin_zhongg> I should install it from a burned CD with Ubuntu, correct?
[06:07] <Incarus> pretender, start it on a terminal and give us the output
[06:07] <Incarus> clearscreen, k
[06:07] <clearscreen> kevin_zhongg: yep
[06:08] <kevin_zhongg> because I have it right now through WIndows Wubi
[06:08] <clearscreen> Incarus: hopefully she comes back so it can be fixed :D
[06:08] <kevin_zhongg> thanks clearscreen!
[06:08] <Incarus> k
[06:08] <kinja-sheep> RussM_: Not sure. I'm looking for chown, I know it, but I want to be sure.
[06:08] <Brando753> ziroday: Thanks :P
[06:08] <crdlb> gren420: hmm, maybe the synaptics driver can do it, but I didn't think it could. two-finger scroll is enabled by default in jaunty though
[06:09] <Incarus> kinja-sheep, chmod
[06:09] <kevin_zhongg> can I install Ubuntu 32 bit version into a 64 bit pc?
[06:09] <gren420> crdlb I see well I'll just enable it with the xorg.conf
[06:09] <kinja-sheep> Incarus: The USB itself?
[06:09] <Incarus> kevin_zhongg, yes, that would work
[06:09] <dr_willis> kevin_zhongg:  of course you can
[06:09] <meoblast001> hi
[06:09] <JAO1988> Well
[06:09] <Incarus> kinja-sheep, just the files you need to use
[06:10] <JAO1988> Hi everyone
[06:10] <kevin_zhongg> ok, because right now I have 64 bit, and a lot of programs on Ubuntu aren't compatible, or I have to do a bunch of other stuff to get them to work
[06:10] <meoblast001> i'm trying to get files off my laptop..... i did sudo /etc/init.d/samba start and my laptop doesn't come up on my desktop
[06:10] <Incarus> kinja-sheep, oh, do you use jaunty?
[06:10] <pretender> here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/139336/
[06:10] <JAO1988> Anyone familiar with OpenThinClients?
[06:11] <kinja-sheep> Incarus: No.  Intrepid.  Why?  I'm confident this have to do with chown, not chmod.
[06:12] <Incarus> kinja-sheep i thougt chmod would also help
[06:12] <pretender> Incarus:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/139336/ here it is
[06:12] <Incarus> pretender, yes, i know
[06:12] <Incarus> pretender, let it break and paste again
[06:12] <bluenzo^nix> there we go
[06:13] <EruditeHermit> hi, did an update today break mousetweaks?
[06:13] <bluenzo^nix> can someone tell me how port 8001 fixes the router exploit?
[06:13] <EruditeHermit> my touchpad scrolling is no longer working
[06:13] <homerhomer> anyone tried that latest fglrx 9.3 and been able to get it to suspend properly?
[06:13] <lstarnes> bluenzo^nix: only port 6667 is vulnerable in most cases
[06:13] <Incarus> homerhomer, do you use jaunty?
[06:14] <homerhomer> nope
[06:14] <bluenzo^nix> really? i didnt think DCC has anything to do with the ircd port
[06:14] <kinja-sheep> Incarus: I got it.  Chown. ;o  Thanks.  Why do you ask about Jaunty? ;o
[06:14] <lstarnes> bluenzo^nix: most routers and firewalls only check port 6667 for dcc requests due to that port being the main one used for irc
[06:14] <homerhomer> Incarus: Intrep
[06:14] <_VIM_> !exploit | bluenzo^nix
[06:14] <lstarnes> bluenzo^nix: irc is used for negotiating dcc
[06:14] <Crazylink> hello, excuse me i need help setting up my Screen resolution for my ubuntu 8.10 can i please get some help?
[06:14] <Incarus> kinja-sheep, no, k
[06:14] <bluenzo^nix> lstarnes, so on my own ircd server, if i connect to a different port than 6667, it wont affect me?
[06:14] <lstarnes> bluenzo^nix: it shouldn't affect you
[06:15] <bluenzo^nix> _VIM_: im looking for a more direct answer, thanks tho
[06:15] <bluenzo^nix> lstarnes: okay dokie :)
[06:15] <lstarnes> bluenzo^nix: the server must offer a port other than 6667 though
[06:15] <Incarus> Crazylink, you have to set up drivers first
[06:15] <bluenzo^nix> lstarnes: thats fine thanks
[06:15] <_VIM_> you're quite welcome :P
[06:15] <Crazylink> incarus: im new to 8.10 im scared to touch it mind helping me out?
[06:16] <Incarus> Crazylink, yes, what graphic card do you have?
[06:17] <Crazylink> Incarus: Gforce 6150 LE
[06:17] <billybigrigger_> anyone here into overclocking?
[06:17] <bluenzo^nix> i am billybigrigger a little :P
[06:18] <homerhomer> Crazylink:  you in good luck not having ATI
[06:18] <billybigrigger_> bluenzo^nix, what do you use for system monitors?
[06:18] <bluenzo^nix> i dislike ATI
[06:18] <pawan1234> in which directory wallpapers are stored in ubuntu
[06:18] <ness> "the following installtion problem was detected while trying to start KDE" No write access to /root/.ICauthority kde is unable to start
[06:18] <bluenzo^nix> billybigrigger: for monitoring what, temps?
[06:18] <ness> why do i get this
[06:18] <billybigrigger_> temps, fans, vcore
[06:18] <billybigrigger_> bluenzo^nix, just all around sys monitoring
[06:18] <billybigrigger_> bluenzo^nix, and what kind of cpu do you have?
[06:18] <bluenzo^nix> billybigrigger: everest has a LOT of features, but i dunno if its available for nix, i had it on windows
[06:18] <efeX^> How do i add the current programs open to my taskbar
[06:19] <billybigrigger_> im wondering if i did a good OC here
[06:19] <Crazylink> hehe
[06:19] <efeX^> like how it shows whats open on the bottom. i accidently deleted my panel and i need it back D:
[06:19] <homerhomer> Crazylink: go to System, Administraton, click on  "Hardware Drivers" and see if the Nvidia driver is installed
[06:19] <bluenzo^nix> billybigrigger: which CPU do you have? I have Intel Q9300
[06:19] <Incarus> Crazylink, this should help you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[06:20] <Incarus> Crazylink, after doing that you can reboot and your resolution should be correct
[06:20] <Crazylink> Incarus: thank you very much
[06:20] <quibbler> billybigrigger_-> add to panel hardware monitor
[06:20] <Incarus> Crazylink, np
[06:20] <billybigrigger_> amd x2 5000 (2.6ghz stock) running at 3.4ghz, vcore bumped up 100mv to 1.46, stressing it atm, been running for about 20 mins now, not seeing anything over 40c
[06:20] <Incarus> homerhomer, i think ati got a better linux support
[06:20] <bluenzo^nix> billybigrigger: I have "EVEREST Ultimate Engineer Edition v4.60.1578 Portable" but its for windows I think...
[06:20] <homerhomer> Incarus:  Really?
[06:20] <Crazylink> Incarus: brb while i read
[06:20] <pretender> here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/139338/ after it closes
[06:20] <billybigrigger_> bluenzo^nix, try Phoronix Test Suite
[06:21] <pawan1234> in which directory wallpapers are stored
[06:21] <bluenzo^nix> billybigrigger: 40c is fine for load temps
[06:21] <dr_willis> I think ati and nvidia bothneed tobe slapped around a bit :)
[06:21] <Incarus> Crazylink, what is brb?
[06:21] <homerhomer> Incarus: I have had nothing but issue with my ATI card on my laptop.
[06:21] <billybigrigger_> bluenzo^nix, just want to know why lm-sensors has 2 temps for each core?
[06:21] <Sagaci> is there any way to change the format of the time displayed, atm is is Sat Mar 28, 17:20, i'd like it to so Saturday, 28th March, 17:21
[06:21] <homerhomer> Incarus: and my Nvidia on my desktop has been smooth as silk
[06:21] <billybigrigger_> Core0 Temp:  +24.0°C
[06:21] <billybigrigger_> Core0 Temp:  +37.0°C
[06:21] <billybigrigger_> Core1 Temp:  +20.0°C
[06:21] <billybigrigger_> Core1 Temp:  +15.0°C
[06:21] <FloodBot1> billybigrigger_: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[06:21] <Incarus> homerhomer, ati dont want to support the old cards
[06:21] <Supertanker> billybigrigger_, I'm not an expert, but I'm guessing one is a mobo sensor and one is a sensor on/in the die itself.
[06:21] <billybigrigger_> sorry, thought that would go in 1 line
[06:22] <Supertanker> My dual-core only has one temp each.
[06:22] <bluenzo^nix> billybigrigger: are you on windows or nix?
[06:22] <billybigrigger_> no, i have MB Temp, 44c
[06:22] <homerhomer> Incarus: did you say that you installed fglrx 9.3 on Jaunty?
[06:22] <Supertanker> I think
[06:22] <Supertanker> Lemme look
[06:22] <billybigrigger_> well i am in an #ubuntu channel no? :P im in nix
[06:22] <Supertanker> Yeah, one temp per core
[06:22] <billybigrigger_> hmmm
[06:22] <Incarus> homerhomer, no, not really, i use SiS
[06:22] <bluenzo^nix> billybigrigger: There are some good windows monitoring tools, but i have NO clue about nix's tools lol
[06:22] <Supertanker> billybigrigger_, are you using an Intel CPU, per chance?
[06:22] <billybigrigger_> amd x2
[06:22] <prohna> i cant get the resolution for console mode to change, ive tried editing menu.lst which now causes grub to throw and error at boot and have me choose a mode, but none of them work
[06:22] <homerhomer> Incarus: bah ha ha
[06:22] <Supertanker> My Amd Athlon X2 on this particular mobo has one sensor per CPU core
[06:22] <billybigrigger_> Supertanker, look up a bit
[06:23] <ness> " NO WRITE ACCESS TO '/root/.ICEauthority" cant load Kde  anyhelp?
[06:23] <Supertanker> billybigrigger_, oh, odd
[06:23] <Supertanker> It might be your mobo then
[06:23] <Supertanker> I has a cheap HP mobo
[06:23] <Incarus> homerhomer, what the? i got direct screen rendering and 3d things
[06:23] <Incarus> homerhomer, its good
[06:23] <billybigrigger_> no, i have a decent asus mobo
[06:23] <dr_willis> ness:  what are you trying to run? and what does it ahve to do with 'root'
[06:23] <bluenzo^nix> billybigrigger: you normally have one temp per core, dunno whats up with urs lol...
[06:24] <billybigrigger_> i have core0 x 2 core1 x2 mb temp, cpu temp fan speed, gpu temp,
[06:24] <homerhomer> Incarus: I'm jealous, how about suspend? does it work
[06:24] <ness> not trying to run, anything just cant load kde
[06:24] <CaneToad> I have a Dell Vostro 1710 with Nvidia GeForce 8600M and am yet to find a viable video driver solution for Intrepid.  The open source driver works, but doesn't support video, and the closed source driver works but intermittently bombs.  Any recommended video driver solutions apart from running ubuntu under vmware in a competing operating system?????
[06:24] <Incarus> ness, "sudo chmod 777 /root/.ICEauthority"
[06:24] <billybigrigger_> well maybe its an average? like a low and hi temp for each core, for a certain time period?
[06:24] <Supertanker> billybigrigger_, is there any seperate 'mobo' temperature?
[06:24] <Incarus> homerhomer, in intrepid, but not in jaunty
[06:24] <billybigrigger_> Supertanker, yes
[06:24] <bluenzo^nix> billybigrigger: no idea, average isnt a good idea to go by either lol
[06:24] <billybigrigger_> i can post a screenshot of lm-sensors
[06:24] <Supertanker> Oh
[06:24] <Supertanker> billybigrigger_, my only guess is that it's got an internal sensor for each core and an external one on the mobo
[06:25] <homerhomer> Incarus: I guess, free has its price.
[06:25] <Incarus> CaneToad, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia
[06:25] <Supertanker> Sorry I'm not much more help :/
[06:25] <pawan1234> how to change default background wallpapers directory to some other directory
[06:25] <Crazylink> Incarus: i have to reboot ill be right back
[06:25] <Incarus> homerhomer, but its more secure
[06:25] <billybigrigger_> http://pastebin.com/m1a803463
[06:25] <Incarus> Crazylink, k
[06:25] <Crazylink> cross yoru fingers for me :D
[06:25] <Incarus> k
[06:25] <homerhomer> Incarus: I agree, I'm sticking with nix.
[06:26] <ness> sudo chmod 777 /root/.ICEauthority  i get chmod cannot access /root/.ICEauthority input/output error
[06:26] <homerhomer> Crazylink:  good luck
[06:26] <Incarus> ness, lol
[06:26] <ness> yes lol Incarus haha
[06:26] <prince_jammys> ness: why are you doing that anyway?
[06:26] <Incarus> ness, kde is starting with root rights (i think), so it should have permission
[06:27] <prince_jammys> chmod 600 should suffice
[06:27] <ness> im using backtrack not ubuntu i can load flux but not kde
[06:27] <ness> everything was working fine untill i logged out without shutting down
[06:28] <Incarus> ness, BackTrack is Slackware GNU/Linux, wrong chat
[06:28] <clearscreen> I thought it was a knoppix fork :x
[06:29] <Incarus> ness, or do you use backtrack 4?
[06:29] <ness> nah its 3
[06:29] <quibbler> pawan1234-> just click add and choose what ever directory you want (i have a wallpaper directory in my home)
[06:29] <ness> soo close to getting my drivers to install. then this crap happens
[06:30] <Incarus> ness, you could try the backtrack 4 live cd, it got a debian core
[06:30] <eqisow> dvd*
[06:30] <Anusien> Ah, I think I found the proprietary drivers.  ATI makes one set of drivers that support a large number of cards, but they don't list it for each card...
[06:30] <dr_willis> ness if it says input/output errro.. i would fsck the filesystems
[06:30] <prohna> how do i enable framebuffer in intrepid?
[06:30] <rabiddachshund> I'm trying to set up GNUPanel. It's asking for my public ip, but it's dynamic. What can I give it?
[06:30] <Incarus> Anusien, k
[06:30] <ness> im running on wmware atm could this be why
[06:30] <dr_willis> !framebuffer
[06:31] <dr_willis> ness:  no idea. fsck the filesytems and see if they checkout ok
[06:31] <Incarus> rapiddachshund, maybe <IP_ADDRESS>?
[06:32] <rabiddachshund> Incarus: It's already asked for my internal address. Would that mess it up?
[06:32] <willbeeler> how's it going guys
[06:32] <Incarus> rapiddachshund, dont know
[06:32] <ness> fsck 1.39 (29-may-2006) ?
[06:32] <Crazylink> im back
[06:32] <Incarus> ness, wow, thats old
[06:33] <ness> x_X
[06:33] <Incarus> ness, try backtrack 4
[06:33] <Incarus> i have to go
[06:33] <Incarus> bye
[06:33] <faeryan_> Speaking of fscking, you know that file system scan after every 30 mounts on reboot? Can I manually run fsck to reset that counter, cause I hate having to hit Esc everytime at bootup
[06:34] <eqisow> faeryan: you could just let it run on boot, it doesn't try to do it for the luls, you know
[06:34] <ness> backtrack4 hard to install with wmware for a newb? ;p
[06:34] <dr_willis> its Best to LET it scan
[06:34] <Crazylink> hmmm i tured on the driver that was under my hardware drivers and rebooted and no difference
[06:34] <faeryan_> eqisow: I know, but I'd rather do it while computing instead of having to wait for it to do it while I'm waiting.
[06:35] <dr_willis> have patience.. and yes. that every 30 is settable via tune2fs command
[06:35] <dr_willis> faeryan_:   you dont fsck mounted filesystem normally
[06:35] <clearscreen> faeryan_: afaik it can be dangerous to run fsck on mounted fs
[06:35] <faeryan_> Ah crap.. Gotta let it run then. Thanks.
[06:36] <dr_willis> yes - LET it run
[06:36] <quibbler> faeryan_-> look here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=295262
[06:36] <johninlex> where is thunderbird back up file
[06:37] <faeryan_> Thanks quibbler. I'll give that a looksee
[06:37] <homerhomer> Crazylink: you should try to change the resolution
[06:37] <vegombrei> i have a wierd problem .. ubuntu cant update itself always has an error connecting to its update sites
[06:37] <Crazylink> i tried
[06:37] <Crazylink> still gives me the same options
[06:37] <homerhomer> hmm
[06:37] <quibbler> johninlex-> what do you mean?
[06:38] <vegombrei> ziroday: sorry for the late response but im using the latest intrepid version of ubuntu
[06:38] <faeryan_> vegombrei: Sure your sources.list has the right addresses?
[06:38] <clearscreen> johninlex: your best bet is somewhere at  ~/.mozilla/thunderbird
[06:39] <vegombrei> faeryan_: how do i do that ?
[06:39] <joelar> when i try to execute './manage' i get command not found...looking for help
[06:39] <vegombrei> faeryan_: i mean i kow where the update info is but what do i compare it to ?
[06:39] <faeryan_> vegombrei: Easiest one I think is to type on terminal: "gedit /etc/apt/sources.list"
[06:40] <dr_willis> joelar:  if  'manage' is a command in teh curreet directory and executable that would be correct... aparently somthing is wrong
[06:40] <faeryan_> vegombrei: You could google for ubuntu sources.list and compare it with those
[06:40] <homerhomer> Crazylink: how you feel about Terminal?
[06:40] <johninlex> thanks clearscreen
[06:40] <Crazylink> homerhomer: i went system > admin > hardware drivers and turned on the grapics driver there rebooted and nothing
[06:40] <vegombrei> faeryan_: also it says the public key isnt available .. whats that mean ?
[06:40] <orbii> anyone here running ubuntu entirely on an apple, macbook pro to be specific...
[06:40] <Crazylink> im not scared to use it as long as i know what commands im throwing in there
[06:40] <joelar> i have a manage.py dr_willis that's all
[06:41] <faeryan_> vegombrei: The source address hasn't been verified so you'd have to do it manually, but it shouldn't cause errors while updating so that's another matter.
[06:41] <joelar> the full command from the instructions i'm trying to follow is './manage shell' they don't mention executing
[06:41] <homerhomer> Crazylink: Good
[06:41] <joelar> ..'python manage.py shell'
[06:41] <Crazylink> iv used it before but when it comes to those commands im a newbe
[06:41] <dr_willis> joelar:  then the proper command to run it is NOT ./manage  it MIGHT be python manage.py
[06:41] <Crazylink> homerhomer: but if there are directions with the commands i can do it
[06:41] <joelar> hrm, ok - thx for your attn dr_willis
[06:42] <homerhomer> Crazylink:  okay
[06:42] <vegombrei> faeryan_: could you help me with this ?
[06:42] <faeryan_> vegombrei: Be sure to note there's your country marker in those addresses right after http part and that the end of the address has the Ubuntu version you are running, for example Intrepid
[06:42] <efeX^> Anyone know why my terminal settings wont save? (window size)
[06:43] <faeryan_> vegombrei: Or you could post your sources.list info on pastebin
[06:43] <homerhomer> Crazylink: what resolution are you getting
[06:43] <Crazylink> homerhomer:  just 640 x 480 and 320 x 240
[06:44] <Crazylink> so you can see why i want to fix this lol
[06:44] <homerhomer> ouch, what resolution does your monitor support
[06:44] <efeX^> anyone? :(
[06:44] <Hobz> Hi there, I'm trying to put my /boot partition on a usb drive and I'm trying to test it.  Can I change the boot= line in lilo.conf to the USB drive and run lilo -v without affecting my current /boot partition?
[06:45] <Crazylink> that im not to sure on because it was given to me but i know i can get into1280×1024 at the least
[06:45] <homerhomer> okay,
[06:45] <yoley> hey
[06:45] <yoley> hola
[06:45] <yoley> q tal
[06:46] <yoley> alguien por ahi??
[06:46] <Crazylink> which is what i normaly like it at, i like my desktop tight small and crisp if that helps
[06:46] <faeryan_> yoley: This is mainly an english speaking channel. Look for a localized channel for spanish or whatever you're speaking.
[06:46] <yoley> alguien q hable español??
[06:46] <yoley> mexico
[06:47] <quibbler> !es
[06:47] <yoley> #ubuntu-es
[06:47] <homerhomer> Crazylink:  hey, I can't find anything that's directly what I want to do, so I'll just walk you through it
[06:47] <vegombrei> W: GPG error: http://wine.budgetdedicated.com intrepid Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY<PHONE_NUMBER>7EE263
[06:47] <faeryan_> yoley: Do /join #ubuntu-es
[06:47] <vegombrei> faeryan_: thats the error i get
[06:47] <Crazylink> homerhomer: if you dont mind
[06:48] <Crazylink> homerhomer: please and thank you
[06:48] <homerhomer> Crazylink: Karma
[06:48] <homerhomer> Crazylink: can you open a command terminal
[06:48] <Crazylink> homerhomer: is a powerful and wonderful think
[06:48] <Crazylink> done
[06:48] <Hobz> what is the lilo channel called?
[06:49] <faeryan_> vegombrei: That shouln't affect on your updates from other sources. Still, you can google for public signatures budgetdedicated to get info on how to verify the address. I'm not too familiar with that stuff myself. Always have to google to do that myself as well.-
[06:49] <Hobz> because #lilo just takes me to #freenode
[06:49] <tetonca> #oldschool
[06:49] <tetonca> ;)
[06:49] <lstarnes> Hobz: try ##linux.  I'm not sure if there is a channel for lilo, but someone in ##linux likely knows
[06:49] <quibbler> vegombrei-> in a terminal do:   wget -q http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt/387EE263.gpg -O- | sudo apt-key add -
[06:49] <faeryan_> vegombrei: You're after the latest wine versions then?
[06:49] <dr_willis> Hmm why use lilo?
[06:50] <homerhomer> Crazylink:  type or past the following ,   glxinfo | grep rendering
[06:50] <homerhomer> Crazylink:  and see if you see anything that says Direct_rendering
[06:51] <Hobz> dr_willis, I'd rather be using grub, unfortunately not an option
[06:51] <Crazylink> homerhomer: says Direct rendering Yes
[06:51] <dr_willis> good luck. Im not even sure LILO can boot usb drives
[06:51] <homerhomer> Great, so your video card is working properly
[06:52] <Hobz> I hear it can, you just have to add a root delay option to give it time to detect hardware
[06:52] <Hobz> hence the testing
[06:52] <tetonca> yes it can
[06:52] <homerhomer> Crazylink: so now we are going to create a backup of your xorg.conf file type,       sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[06:52] <tetonca> grub much easier tho
[06:53] <Crazylink> homerhomer: brb 1 second door
[06:53] <Hobz> I heart grub
[06:53] <homerhomer> Crazylink: it's going to ask for your root password and that's it
[06:54] <Crazylink> homerhomer: back inputing commands now
[06:54] <tetonca> damnsmall linux used to be easier to use with a usb stick if LILO was used instead of GRUB iirc.
[06:54] <faeryan_> Remember kids, don't give your root password to just anyone. :P
[06:54] <homerhomer> Crazylink: , brb - I need some wine
[06:54] <tetonca> here's mine: 0u812
[06:55] <Crazylink> homerhomer: says no such file in directory
[06:55] <Anusien> mine is the same as my luggage, 1234
[06:55] <bluenzo^nix> how do i set opers as default browser? i click links in xchat, they open in firefox
[06:55] <bluenzo^nix> opera*
[06:55] <faeryan_> tetonca: Reminds me of this age old joke: "Enter password: cock", "Error: Password too short"
[06:56] <tetonca> hahaha
[06:56] <tetonca> cute
[06:56] <homerhomer> sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[06:57] <homerhomer> Crazylink: did you copy it exactly
[06:57] <Crazylink> yes i believe so
[06:57] <homerhomer> okay I have aanother quick idea
[06:58] <homerhomer> copy this and paste it into your terminal
[06:58] <homerhomer> cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf ~/Desktop/
[06:58] <Crazylink> done
[06:59] <homerhomer> you'll now have a xorg.conf file on your desktop - can you open with (just double click on it)
[06:59] <Crazylink> done
[06:59] <loafers> Hi, do most usb wifi adapters work without installing drivers?
[06:59] <clearscreen> my bank password is 1337, have fun :(
[06:59] <homerhomer> okay, this file configures you display
[06:59] <homerhomer> look for a section call "Monitor
[07:00] <homerhomer> called Monitor
[07:00] <homerhomer> it will say Section "Monitor"
[07:00] <Crazylink> found it
[07:00] <faeryan_> loafers: What version of Ubuntu are you running?
[07:01] <Brando753> I need help building a program
[07:01] <loafers> faeryan, the latest
[07:01] <homerhomer> do you have anything that says Horizsync or vertrefresh
[07:01] <quibbler> !ask | Brando753
[07:01] <faeryan> loafers: Intrepid 8.10? It should have pretty good wifi support. Not sure if it can run everything without installing drivers but you could always try.
[07:02] <faeryan> loafers: What is the manufacturer of the wifi?
[07:02] <Crazylink> not anywhere on in that section
[07:02] <loafers> faeryan, ok thanks.  Do usb wifi adapters plug and play similarly to usb storage devices?
[07:02] <homerhomer> good
[07:02] <Brando753> but it is not about ubuntu as musch as programing :D and no one in ##Programming can help :D
[07:02] <loafers> faeryan, I havn't bought one yet bc i am unsure
[07:02] <homerhomer> does anything say modline in that section
[07:02] <faeryan> loafers: For me it did. Can't say for others.
[07:02] <homerhomer> modeline
[07:03] <loafers> faeryan, okay thanks
[07:03] <Crazylink> wait am i looking near where it says"Monitor"? or anywhere in the doc?
[07:03] <kos-ko> hi
[07:03] <faeryan> loafers: Your best bet is to use big and well known manufacturers
[07:03] <homerhomer> only in the monitor section
[07:03] <Crazylink> no nothing
[07:03] <loafers> faeryan, Good idea, but they tend to be slightly more expensive
[07:03] <homerhomer> good
[07:03] <quibbler> Brando753-> you could try in #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:04] <faeryan> loafers: Mine is A-Link and it worked nicely on my laptop.
[07:04] <homerhomer> okay lets go to the Section called "Screen"
[07:04] <loafers> faeryan, ic.  Is it true that nintendo ds and other game handheld usb wifi adapters work for laptops also?
[07:04] <faeryan> loafers: No idea.
[07:04] <homerhomer> do you have anything that refers to Modes  with some resolution settings?
[07:04] <Crazylink> found it
[07:04] <loafers> faeryan, ok thanks for the help
[07:05] <Crazylink> under the  "Screen" section there are Modes
[07:05] <Brando753> quibbler: thanks ill try
[07:05] <Crazylink> with different screen resos
[07:05] <homerhomer> yep,
[07:05] <homerhomer> what's the highest res
[07:06] <Crazylink> 1152x864
[07:06] <homerhomer> hmmm
[07:06] <tiklado> i can't connect my laptop in an LCD projector
[07:06] <homerhomer> do you know the make and model of you monitor
[07:07] <homerhomer> i wonder if your monitor even supports that res
[07:07] <Crazylink> compaq, FS7600 i believe
[07:07] <faeryan> There really should be a separate xorg.configurer software for Ubungu. Soemthing like the older versions had instead of this new Intrepid stuff.
[07:08] <homerhomer> Crazylink:  I google, is this it? http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4454459
[07:09] <Crazylink> it wont let me see it
[07:10] <Crazylink> but
[07:10] <Crazylink> this is it right here
[07:10] <Crazylink> http://images.fixya.com/C/Compaq/177x150/32393832.JPG
[07:10] <homerhomer> oh okay,
[07:10] <FloodBot1> Crazylink: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[07:10] <homerhomer> okay,
[07:11] <faeryan> Crazylink: Your problem sounds a bit similar to what I had before. What kind of graphics card are you using and do you have an integrated card as well on your system?
[07:11] <Crazylink> it is an integrated GFX card and its a Gforce 6150 LE
[07:11] <noren> !drm
[07:12] <faeryan> Crazylink: Right, so no separate card? I had a geforce 6600gs and an integrated one. They got somehow messed up and I couldn't configure them properly. Fixed that by buying a new card that worked nicely without any separate configs.
[07:13] <dr_willis> 6600's have always seem to be picky
[07:13] <faeryan> Crazylink: Have you checked your BIOS that you have integrated chosen as the primary adapter and memory allocation is not on auto, but instead on something you specify yourself.
[07:13] <faeryan> dr_willis: Indeed. Luckily I had been thinking bout buying a new card anyways.
[07:14] <homerhomer> Crazylink: okay, remember that line that's called Modes with all the resolutions?
[07:14] <Crazylink> yes
[07:14] <homerhomer> replace it with this one
[07:14] <homerhomer> Modes		"1280x1024@60" "1024x768@85" "800x600@85" "720x400@70" "640x480@85"
[07:14] <Crazylink> all of them?
[07:15] <homerhomer> Yes, just copy the whole line and then paste it in place of the old one
[07:15] <Crazylink> because there are 6 mode lines with the same reso writen in them
[07:15] <homerhomer> ouch
[07:15] <Brando753> I need to design a Site Specific Browser similar to lockdown browser but prevent screen shots printing and copying well running and record stirkes on thise who try to, And lock someone out who has more then three strike these strikes our recorded on a mysql database I cant get an answer anywhere else so i came here :P
[07:15] <homerhomer> yes,
[07:15] <homerhomer> each one if for a different Depth mode
[07:15] <homerhomer> for each one is fine
[07:15] <Crazylink> ok
[07:16] <homerhomer> okay
[07:16] <homerhomer> go ahead and click save at the top of the screen
[07:17] <homerhomer> and close gedit, the editor
[07:17] <kos-ko> 1 question:   I have OS with 4.5 Gb.  (wdmk)   with vmware i can have just 10 gb for virtualmachines , when i  have  OS format .ISO i can have 10 or more gb pour VM.  how can i have 10 or more gb.  with  vdmk  ,   thanks:)
[07:18] <homerhomer> almost done
[07:18] <Crazylink> saving now
[07:18] <Crazylink> ok closed
[07:19] <homerhomer> now paste
[07:19] <homerhomer> sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.backup
[07:19] <homerhomer> it will create a backup of your config file
[07:19] <homerhomer> it will also ask for a password
[07:20] <Crazylink> done
[07:20] <homerhomer> now paste the following
[07:20] <homerhomer>  sudo cp ~/Desktop/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf

[07:21] <comicinker> Hi! my touchpad suddenly doesn't work anymore! It's found as SynPS/2 Synaptics Touchpad as /devices/platform/i8042/serio2/input/input7; I made dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg but no result. what's wrong? please help
[07:21] <homerhomer> okay, so there is a chance that this doesn't work, if so Ubuntu shoudl try to fix your monitor settings and you'll probably have to just go through a gui program.
[07:22] <homerhomer> so log out and log back in - good luck
[07:22] <Crazylink> reboot?
[07:23] <homerhomer> no, you should have to just go to system and log out
[07:23] <homerhomer> reboot would work too
[07:23] <homerhomer> oh man, I hope that works
[07:24] <loafers> My firefox opens in F11 mode everytime i fire it up.  How do I disable it?  It never happened before!
[07:25] <PC_Nerd> Hi,  I executed: "sudo iftop > /home/<user>/netlog", and nano reports ( when I read netlog) that it has "converted from Mac format"... what does this mean?>
[07:26] <loafers> Never mind got it working.
[07:26] <faeryan> I didn't get to answer. :(
[07:26] <Brando753> Can anyone help me ?
[07:26] <faeryan> Fire away Brando753, someone is bound to answer.
[07:27] <Crazylink> im back
[07:27] <homerhomer> Crazylink: and
[07:27] <Crazylink> no change :/
[07:27] <comicinker> Brando753: just ask
[07:27] <Brando753> i alredy did :P
[07:27] <Brando753> ages ago LP
[07:27] <homerhomer> can you go to system, pref, screen res and see if you have more options
[07:27] <Crazylink> did it, nothing :/
[07:28] <homerhomer> damn
[07:28] <faeryan> Site specific browser thing? Can't help there.
[07:28] <Brando753> :(
[07:29] <Saturn2888> I'm using Ubuntu Server 8.04.2 and all of the machines behind the server have Internet access, but the server does not. Before the server was the only one with access but DHCP wasn't working so I reformatted. How is it possible for the server itself not to have access when it has to?
[07:29] <homerhomer> Crazylink: we can try to have the xorg package try to reconfigure it
[07:30] <homerhomer> want to try?
[07:30] <homerhomer> if you go to the command line terminal again
[07:30] <Crazylink> homerhomer: how does it work and what needs to be done
[07:30] <homerhomer> and paste the following
[07:30] <homerhomer> sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[07:30] <homerhomer> it just rerun auto configuration and might work
[07:30] <Brando753> I cant suspend my hp Pavilion dv5 laptop i just get a black screen on resume
[07:31] <Crazylink> done
[07:31] <homerhomer> log out and back in -
[07:31] <homerhomer> :/
[07:31] <gartral> how do i restart the wine service in my system withour rebooting the computer?
[07:31] <Brando753> i get a black screen
[07:32] <homerhomer> gartral: you can type wineboot
[07:32] <CK-TECH> i installed ubuntu 8.10 but i use it for remote only how can i make it start normally that can make me use VNC remote to ?
[07:32] <homerhomer> or winesever -k
[07:33] <gartral> wtf... wineboot failed and errored...
[07:34] <homerhomer> Crazylink: how about it
[07:34] <Crazylink> well it worked but stopped at 800X600
[07:34] <homerhomer> hmm
[07:34] <homerhomer> getting there
[07:34] <homerhomer> okay, paste this into a terminal
[07:34] <homerhomer> gksu displayconfig-gtk
[07:35] <Crazylink> done
[07:35] <homerhomer> can you select a higher res
[07:36] <Crazylink> hang on im gonna selected my monitor from the list see if that helps because no i cant go higher
[07:36] <homerhomer> yep, try the test button too
[07:36] <homerhomer> I should have started here
[07:36] <homerhomer> I blame the wine
[07:36] <PC_Nerd> what is "Mac format", when nano reports "converted from Mac format" ?
[07:37] <gartral> homerhomer: thank you
[07:37] <Crazylink> lol. hmm my monitor isnt in the lst
[07:37] <tetonca> it is end of line chars pcnerd
[07:37] <prince_jammys> PC_Nerd: the file probably had different line endings (using carriage returns instead of newline characters)
[07:37] <tetonca> you can have a text using 0x0d or 0x0a or both as end of line
[07:38] <Crazylink> i tried to test and it failed.
[07:38] <homerhomer> Crazylink: , are you trying compaq or generic monitor
[07:38] <tetonca> ibm pc's had  0x0d 0x0a line endings.  Mac only used one of those.
[07:38] <Crazylink> compaq
[07:38] <PC_Nerd> ah ok  - thanks
[07:38] <homerhomer> select gerneric a
[07:39] <Crazylink> it was already on gerneric, on plug and play
[07:39] <tetonca> np
[07:39] <homerhomer> yeah, but this time select Monitor 1024 x 768
[07:39] <homerhomer> or 1280 x 1024
[07:40] <homerhomer> and test that
[07:40] <homerhomer> plug and pray doesn't always work

[07:43] <crow_> Hi, I have 8.10 installed on my eeepc w/ apache2, but I cannot see http://localhost/~user.  Note that http://locahost does work).
[07:44] <Brando753> i have no idea how to find out :P
[07:44] <homerhomer> Crazylink:  I'm getting tired, I going to try to help out Brando753 and go to bed
[07:44] <crow_> anybody running apache on ubuntu?
[07:44] <crow_> !apache
[07:45] <Crazylink> hang on one second homer i might have fixed it
[07:45] <Crazylink> brb gonna test it
[07:45] <tritium> crow_: you likely don't have userdir enabled
[07:45] <crow_> hmmm.... is that a package?
[07:45] <tritium> crow_: no, an apache module
[07:46] <crow_> How does one get it to be activated/
[07:46] <tritium> crow_: look in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled/ to see if you have symlinks to /etc/apache2/mods-available/userdir.load and userdir.conf
[07:47] <homerhomer> Brando753: do you know if it's has a Intel or AMD chip?
[07:47] <Brando753> no, how can i find out?
[07:47] <tritium> Brando753: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[07:47] <CosmiChaos> I accidentially run "sudo firefox", now my bookmarks are lost, my back/forward buttons do not wrk, every startup the plugin websites are loaded (first start), and nothing i can import or setup. everythings crappy, any ideas what did  go wrng r how to fix?
[07:48] <crow_> tritium: ok... I'm looking.
[07:48] <homerhomer> Brando753:  can you open a terminal
[07:48] <Brando753> yes
[07:48] <homerhomer> paste the following
[07:48] <homerhomer> cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model
[07:49] <crow_> Ah!

[07:49] <tritium> crow_: it was not enabled?
[07:49] <homerhomer> ok
[07:50] <tritium> crow_: you can either create the symlinks yourself, or "sudo a2enmod userdir"
[07:50] <Strider> Quick Question. Every time my system starts up it writes "pulseaudio[6617]: pid.c: Stale PID file, overwriting." to my logs.
[07:50] <homerhomer> I'm just going to guess that you have nvidia
[07:50] <Brando753> Never assume :P
[07:50] <Strider> It doesn't seem to effect my sound any, but does anyone know whats wrong?
[07:50] <homerhomer> Brando753: can you go to system, administration, hardware drivers

[07:51] <tritium> crow_: status?
[07:51] <homerhomer> does it say nvidia ATI?

[07:52] <Brando753> homerhomer: no
[07:52] <tritium> homerhomer: it would never say that
