I thought that it was "/" but the install program says that it isn't what it is.
[08:00] <NoEvidenZ> Fireal: No problem, I was ignoring you anyway.
[08:00] <aoupi> qos: does it work if you run 'ssh -X server' and then start xeyes?

[08:09] <hou5ton> stefg:   am I to guess that ifdown is a command to disconnect the internet connection, and ifup is the one I'm looking for when late to plug in the cable?

[08:11] <stefg> hou5ton: right, bring the interface (e.g. eth0) down, then bring it up again. that will trigger a new dhcp requqest so you get connected. 'man ifconfig'  for more info

[08:23] <disasm> There's one thing that's been driving me nuts... When an ssh key changes, I normally delete the line that has the host that changed from known_hosts, well newer ssh version now have some crypted hash or something for the name of the machine, so I have to delete the whole known_hosts file to trust a new key... Any way around this? some frontend or something to remove a known_host if it's key changes, or force a key change into known_hosts?
[08:23] <stefg> Dragutin00: rather ask that in #xchat

[08:27] <jah_raztah> i asked it like so long ago
[08:27] <jah_raztah> and still no response
[08:27] <qos> aoupi, thought i don't need the whole server?!
[08:27] <jah_raztah> and i waited patiently
[08:27] <_aibot_> !k010
[08:27] <adaptr> jah_raztah: chroot changes the root of your *system*; running this command without a working system in place *will* crash your machine
[08:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about k010 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[08:28] <xmOD> !root
[08:28] <ubotu> sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[08:28] <aoupi> qos: soo much results from apt-cache searh xorg to look through :)
[08:28] <jah_raztah> no it is on a partition on my computer
[08:28] <jah_raztah> not my system drive
[08:28] <jah_raztah> like /media/hda2
[08:28] <adaptr> jah_raztah: then you do not understand what chroot does
[08:28] <aoupi> qos: maybe xserver-xorg-core will do
[08:28] <jah_raztah> yes i need to change the root so i can gain read and write access
[08:29] <jah_raztah> right now i don't have read and write access
[08:29] <jah_raztah> i mean
[08:29] <jah_raztah> i can read
[08:29] <jah_raztah> but not write
[08:29] <adaptr> jah_raztah: do you know what you are talking about ?
[08:29] <xmOD> wat is the partition?
[08:29] <jah_raztah> yes i do
[08:29] <xmOD> NTFS or FAT32?
[08:29] <qos> aoupi, maybe? ;)
[08:29] <adaptr> because I don't
[08:29] <jah_raztah> i can in here long ago and some on very knowledged told me the command to type
[08:29] <jah_raztah> and it worked
[08:29] <jah_raztah> it's ext3
[08:29] <Kasmainio> Hello. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to add programs to the keyboard shortcuts diaglog found in system->preferences>keyboard shortcuts ?
[08:29] <aoupi> qos: worth a shot
[08:29] <xmOD> then mounting it should do the trick
[08:29] <jah_raztah> no it wouldn't
[08:30] <Skyrail> is there a room for the server version of ubuntu?
[08:30] <jah_raztah> i remember the person telling me something like sudo chroot -r /media/hda2 username:username
[08:30] <macd> dont think so
[08:30] <jah_raztah> but for some reason that commeand doesn't work
[08:30] <qos> i am totally confused now, tried it with another server ... there i works ... but not on mine. i installed both the same way ....
[08:30] <kazuka> how does ubuntu printing works
[08:31] <stefg> !print
[08:31] <ubotu> Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/NetworkPrintingFromWindows
[08:31] <rbil> qos: can you launch a GUI app on the problem host?
[08:31] <kazuka> stefg my printer is upstairs and i am wondering if my epson usb printer will be detected
[08:31] <kazuka> does cups handle it?
[08:32] <qos> rbil, its a pure server ... never tried it. it no x-server on it ...
[08:32] <stefg> kazuka: epson is best supported brand in linux... so you should possibly be lucky
[08:32] <jhteres> how can i get restricted audio formats codecs?
[08:32] <jah_raztah> adaptr,  xmOD do you know how to use the chroot command to change the root of an entire partition
[08:32] <jah_raztah> if so can u tell me
[08:32] <rbil> qos: well u can't run Xwindows programs on a host that isn't running Xwindows
[08:32] <pike_> kazuka: linuxprinting.org is the place to search for that answer
[08:32] <kazuka> thanks

[08:32] <ubotu> Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first: not all !repositories are enabled by default!)
[08:33] <nikin> qos: is any xserver installed on the other server?
[08:33] <adaptr> jah_raztah: yes I do, but that is not what you want
[08:33] <xmOD> !chroot
[08:33] <ubotu> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebootstrapChroot use this to build 32 bit environments on a 64 bit box
[08:33] <jah_raztah> yes it is
[08:33] <jah_raztah> it is exactly what i want
[08:33] <kazuka> ive ran linux so many times but not tried to print with it
[08:33] <adaptr> jah_raztah: you said you wanted write access to a partition
[08:33] <jah_raztah> i kno because it was the solution before as well
[08:33] <jhteres> i have mp3s and wmas how can i play them in ubuntu?
[08:33] <jah_raztah> i re installed my ubuntu
[08:33] <adaptr> jah_raztah: the solution to what ?
[08:33] <qos> nikin, dont think so...
[08:33] <jah_raztah> the same problem
[08:33] <jhteres> ??
[08:33] <adaptr> jeez
[08:33] <jah_raztah> can u just tell me the command
[08:34] <jhteres> plz help
[08:34] <pike_> kazuka: well maybe google search line site:linuxprinting.org epson modelnumber
[08:34] <adaptr> jah_raztah: what is/was the problem
[08:34] <jhteres> i need a codec or something?
[08:34] <stefg> kazuka: what are you trying? Install a printer on your machine or share a prnter over the network?
[08:34] <wyld> marcus_: holler
[08:34] <qos> rbil, thought MY xserver on MY machine will get connected via ssh to the process running on the host?!
[08:34] <aoupi> jhteres: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats#head-74857744ddf74499c6447a19c7e94a2fcb382e0c
[08:34] <jah_raztah> adaptr, it's simple just tell me how to use that command i accept all responsibilty
[08:34] <adaptr> jah_raztah: how can I tell you what to do when I don't know what your problem is ?
[08:35] <adaptr> jah_raztah: if all you want is to be superior then go read the chroot man page
[08:35] <jah_raztah> sudo chroot  (command)  /media/hda2 username:userid
[08:35] <jah_raztah> i need to know that command in between
[08:35] <rbil> qos: nope doesn't work that way. when u ssh to a host, the gui app is run on the host and sent over to local machine
[08:35] <adaptr> jah_raztah: chroot *is* a command - and the wrong one for you
[08:35] <jah_raztah> no no
[08:35] <jah_raztah> it's the right onw
[08:35] <jah_raztah> one*
[08:35] <adaptr> jah_raztah: how do you know this ?
[08:35] <qos> rbil, so i have to install an xserver on my host?
[08:35] <jah_raztah> seveas or someone told me before
[08:36] <jah_raztah> when i upgrade to dapper
[08:36] <jah_raztah> and now i'm on edgy
[08:36] <jah_raztah> it's the same problem
[08:36] <stefg> !enter | jah_raztah
[08:36] <ubotu> jah_raztah: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[08:36] <adaptr> jah_raztah: I still have not heard what you are trying to do
[08:36] <rbil> qos: and whatever gui apps u want to run on the host ... but my question is why? if it's a headless server, why have gui's running?
[08:36] <jah_raztah> ok what i am trying to do is change the root of a partition
[08:36] <jah_raztah> chroot is the command to do that right?
[08:37] <qos> rbil, that was it ... because it is handy to use thunar to move files on the server.
[08:37] <adaptr> jah_raztah: and again, I am forced to ask: what do you mean by "change the root of a partition" ? the sentence does not make sense
[08:37] <adaptr> jah_raztah: no, like I said before, that is not what chroot does
[08:37] <nikin> rbil : there are reasons... like i use mine to render in blender
[08:37] <adaptr> jah_raztah: you may mean you want to change the *mount point* of a partition - which is simple
[08:37] <rbil> qos: use a cli based program like midnightcommander
[08:38] <aoupi> jah_raztah: chroot puts you in a jail where you can't go outside of it, soo lets say you are chrooted to your home, then you can't accesss anything outside of it
[08:38] <jah_raztah> no i don't need to change any point i need to change the user read write acess
[08:38] <adaptr> jah_raztah: depending on what is on th epartition
[08:38] <tuna-fish-> does anyone know a tool similar to atitool for linux? No need for the overclocking parts, but a program that intesively tortures the GPU and checks the results
[08:38] <adaptr> jah_raztah: then please say so, and don't bandy around terms you don't understand
[08:38] <pike_> jah_raztah: often just 'chroot /mnt/foo' wow just looked at chroot man page.. it sucks
[08:38] <jah_raztah> no but last time
[08:38] <jah_raztah> chroot was the command some here told me
[08:38] <jah_raztah> and it worked
[08:38] <adaptr> jah_raztah: to change the access permissions for a mounted partition you have to change the entry in fstab and re-mount the partition
[08:39] <rbil> stefg: could it be called X-server to serve xwindows apps?
[08:39] <Skyrail> Ever since I upgraded FireFox yesterday it's gone all funny and takes 3 tries to open and some of my addons won't work, any idea how to go back to the version before?
[08:39] <qos> rbil, false alert. that wasn't the clue... omg ...
[08:40] <jah_raztah> the paritition belonged to my old ubuntu install, and now it's automatically mounted by ubuntu when i reinstalled edgy but using a new username now so i have to change the drive from using my old user to my new username
[08:40] <Skyrail> Now Firefox won't open at all
[08:40] <adaptr> jah_raztah: "belonged to" - where was it mounted under the old installation ? under /home ?
[08:40] <stefg> rbil: right, an X-Server is /not/ a graphics driver. So if you have no X-server on a bx you can't expect ssh -X to work
[08:40] <Skyrail> This just goes from bad to worse :(
[08:41] <jah_raztah> in /media/hda2 as it is now
[08:41] <adaptr> Skyrail: still struggling I see ;-)
[08:41] <jah_raztah> the default ubuntu does for me automatically
[08:41] <rbil> stefg: yeh, and u also need to have gui apps on the host that u want to run remotely
[08:41] <Skyrail> adaptr: now it's firefox :( I'm installing Ubuntu server on the PC next to me, but I wanted to use this PC to learn off the wiki and get help
[08:41] <adaptr> jah_raztah: that is simply because the new ubuntu detects that it was Ubuntu before, and doesn't mess with it
[08:42] <jah_raztah> no but that drive was not a system parition it was simple a partition wher ei kept documents and pictures
[08:42] <stefg> qos: are you reading what rbil said, and got the concept of X?
[08:42] <adaptr> jah_raztah: open /etc/fstab in an editor: gksudo gedit /etc/fstab
[08:42] <jah_raztah> ok done
[08:42] <adaptr> jah_raztah: and post the line that mounts hda2
[08:43] <pike_> Skyrail: first thing   pkill firefox; mv ~/.firefox ~/.firefox-old; rm -fr ~/.firefox; --just to be sure then restart firefox.  not sure if firefox 2 is under .firefox or .mozilla
[08:43] <jah_raztah> UUID=07868ed4-5de3-47a9-babc-54a5dce4683f /media/hda2     ext3    defaults        0       2
[08:43] <liam_> hello
[08:43] <Skyrail> pike_: erm, ok I'll give that a try
[08:43] <liam_> i need help with ubuntu
[08:43] <liam_> if anyone could
[08:43] <deadlyallance319> what is the dbs
[08:43] <adaptr> jah_raztah: and what does "ls -l /media" show ?
[08:43] <stefg> !anyone | liam_
[08:43] <ubotu> liam_: A large amount of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..."  Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out?
[08:43] <rbil> stefg: does the runlevel a host is running at also impact on whether X-server is running?
[08:44] <stefg> rbil: yes
[08:44] <adaptr> jah_raztah: "ls -l /media | grep hda2" would be is enough
[08:44] <rbil> well maybe all qos has to do is change runlevel?
[08:44] <jah_raztah> drwxrwxr-- 105 user user 16384 2007-01-02 18:46 hda2
[08:44] <adaptr> stefg: not under Ubuntu, 2~5 are all multiuser X
[08:44] <qos> stefg, i have read it ...
[08:44] <rbil> if he says that server is the same as one that works
[08:44] <stefg> adaptr: and waht about S ?
[08:44] <wyld> marcus_: I just marked the re-format box, and it worked
[08:44] <screach> I finally go wifi working after two days of trying but I guess the next question is should I have to keep doing dhclient every few minitues
[08:44] <adaptr> jah_raztah: and your username is not "user", I take it ?
[08:44] <screach> did anyone get that message
[08:44] <adaptr> stefg: what about it ?
[08:44] <jah_raztah> it is
[08:44] <liam_> right i need to download kde through the package manager
[08:45] <stefg> adaptr: that's the runlevel in which no X is running in ubuntu
[08:45] <adaptr> jah_raztah: then you should have full access to it
[08:45] <jah_raztah> ohh my current username?
[08:45] <adaptr> stefg: erm.. not really, it is the bootstrap portion of the startup.. S, gettit
[08:45] <qos> rbil, stefg, the confusing thing is that there are 2 identical server ... but on one its runs and on the the other it does not.
[08:45] <jah_raztah> no my current username is different

[08:46] <ubotu> Torrent clients: Azureus (Java), BitTornado (Shell with python front-end), KTorrent (KDE/Qt)  -  Bittorent FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/FAQ.html
[08:46] <adaptr> jah_raztah: yers, that's the one that needs access, but I don't understand this - the permissions also grant the "users" group write access, and everybody is a member of that
[08:46] <rbil> qos: compare /etc/ssh/sshd_config files then
[08:46] <mharding> is there a utorrent linux client
[08:46] <green_earz> mharding: bittornado-gui
[08:46] <jah_raztah> i cannot modify files for some reason though
[08:46] <xmOD> no
[08:46] <liam_> so theres no way to get kde in ubuntu?
[08:46] <qos> rbil, already did ... matching exacly
[08:46] <mbb> roflarn: utorrent? via wine?
[08:46] <liam_> even from the apt get/
[08:46] <xmOD> !kde
[08:46] <ubotu> KDE (http://kde.org) is the K Desktop Environment. To install from Ubuntu: "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop", or see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingKDE for other ways to get KDE
[08:46] <adaptr> jah_raztah: but just to make sure (I have no idea what is in /media/hda2) chown it all to your username
[08:47] <rbil> qos: this line in particular ... X11Forwarding yes
[08:47] <jah_raztah> yes
[08:47] <jah_raztah> chown
[08:47] <jah_raztah> that is the command
[08:47] <adaptr> jah_raztah: that may be because of specific permissions in subdirectories of /media/hda2
[08:47] <jah_raztah> i feel stupid
[08:47] <jah_raztah> u owned me adaptr
[08:47] <green_earz> mharding: or have a look at a torrent server " torrentflux "
[08:47] <jah_raztah> u were right all along chroot is not the command it was chown
[08:47] <xmOD> chown and chroot are very different jah_raztah
[08:47] <adaptr> jah_raztah: I have no particular desire to
[08:47] <jah_raztah> yes
[08:47] <jah_raztah> but u did
[08:47] <jah_raztah> good job man
[08:47] <jah_raztah> thanks
[08:47] <jah_raztah> how do i use chown
[08:47] <stephan21> how to i add my winblows hds to the slocate search database
[08:48] <stefg> qos: to cut a long story short: you need an X-server and a display manger on the host-box. so sudo apt-get install gdm shuld parovide the necessary packages
[08:48] <liam_> thanks obuto
[08:48] <adaptr> jah_raztah: man chown

[08:50] <adaptr> stephan21: jah_raztahnp
[08:50] <stefg> [1] theflyingfool: abiword uses a couple of filters from the OOo project now, which enables it to open /some/ .doc's. But it's not perfect
[08:50] <adaptr> shiit :)
[08:51] <liam_> what about to download the xchat client
[08:51] <sam_uk> thanks
[08:51] <liam_> i dont know how to search through the packages :S !
[08:51] <adaptr> stephan21: /etc/updatedb.conf has a PRUNE section that is *not* indexed - you'll see that /media is in there
[08:51] <deepsa> liam_, sudo apt-get install xchat in terminal
[08:51] <Reliant> How can I get more details on what's failing? I could boot off a boot CD to access my drive, but I don't know what to look for or where to look
[08:51] <insomninja> deepsa, bash: seamonkey: command not found
[08:51] <liam_> have already tried it
[08:51] <adaptr> pike_: no, it doesna ;-)
[08:52] <deepsa> insomninja, is it installed
[08:52] <Skyrail> pike_: thank you so much for helping me fix that :D
[08:52] <pike_> [1] theflyingfool: ive found it good for viewing but i wouldnt make changes and resave or anything
[08:52] <liam_> it says no package
[08:52] <stefg> Reliant: what's the trouble?
[08:52] <mharding> is there away to run kde programs in gnome
[08:52] <[1] theflyingfool> are
[08:52] <adaptr> mharding: just install them
[08:52] <Reliant> stefg: hangs on boot with no error message in both normal boot and rescue boot
[08:52] <rbil> mharding: as far as I know, they all do
[08:53] <insomninja> deepsa: It should be, I ran the installer...
[08:53] <deadlyallance319> what is the dbs?
[08:53] <green_earz> Reliant: have a look in your xorg logs  they be in /var/log
[08:53] <deepsa> deadlyallance319, its not dbs its dbus
[08:53] <stephan21> adaptr: what does that mean
[08:53] <kazuka> anyone programming for linux here
[08:53] <stefg> Reliant: so the kernel gets booted (meaning that grub is ok) but fails to bring the machine up?
[08:53] <deepsa> kazuka, ya i am
[08:53] <charle97> io_error, is fedora your favorite distro?
[08:53] <adaptr> stephan21: what do you mean what does that mean ? updatedb.conf is the configuration for slocate
[08:54] <Reliant> yeah, the kernel comes up. The last message is early in the boot process (after "basic networking" message). The last event is intel8x0_measureac97_clock
[08:54] <Reliant> after loading my mouse driver
[08:54] <xmOD> wats ur chipset reliant?
[08:54] <stephan21> adaptr: i see /media can i just add the hd's in their
[08:54] <stefg> Reliant: Intel HDA chipset?
[08:54] <Reliant> P4 CPU, checking chipset
[08:55] <adaptr> stephan21: those directories will *not* be indexed, so you need to remove /media and then run updatedb again

[08:55] <stefg> Reliant: intel hd-audio is still somewhat challenging on linux

[08:55] <sw33t> hey
[08:55] <sw33t> how can i see how much RAM i have on my ubuntu pc?
[08:55] <Reliant> I've been using this machine for weeks with no problem including sound
[08:55] <kazuka> deepsa: how do you reslove to name your bin program when you install it in /usr/bin
[08:55] <Skyrail> adaptr: any idea where I can learn more stuff about setting up Linux server edition as a file server?
[08:56] <xmOD> the prob started recently?
[08:56] <deepsa> kazuka, wtf
[08:56] <pike_> sw33t: cat /proc/meminfo  or /proc/cpuinfo  lost of nice stuff under /proc
[08:56] <adaptr> Skyrail: here ? :)
[08:56] <Reliant> yeah, about an hour ago, machine died when I changed my mouse
[08:56] <kazuka> deepsa: if there is a programname in your /usr/bin does make install resolve or make an error for it

[08:57] <mharding> is there a dock for ubunut
[08:57] <Reliant> ok, what can I do to detect and solve it? I think I can use a boot CD to get to my drive
[08:57] <Reliant> It's a Compaq with very everything built in
[08:57] <stefg> Reliant: have you tried a 'reset configuration'  in BIOS?
[08:57] <cablesm102> mharding, what do you mean about a dock?
[08:58] <pike_> mharding: like a place where ships harbor?
[08:58] <cablesm102> mharding, you can create a new panel with shortcuts to your programs.
[08:58] <Skyrail> thanks adaptr :)

[08:58] <ubotu> nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS.
[08:58] <Fireal> sw33t: the system monitor has a nice little display of you mem size and usage also (if you like pictures)
[08:58] <mharding> like osx has
[08:58] <cablesm102> mharding, right click on a panel (top or bottom), click Create New Panel, and drag it into the right place
[08:58] <deepsa> mharding, gdesklets has a starter bar looks just like that one
[08:58] <Reliant> stefg: no. I'll give that a try, play around in the BIOS. I'm using the same hardware here (dual boot between Linux and Windows), so I'll play around and BBL. Thanks for the tips and the help
[08:59] <mharding> anything else
[08:59] <cablesm102> mharding, then right click on it, click Add To Panel, click Application Launcher, and choose your app. Rince and repeat

[09:02] <stefg> good
[09:02] <mike> I want something better than nautilus.
[09:02] <mwe> sw33t: but you say you have 1G installed?
[09:02] <sw33t> yea
[09:02] <stefg> mike: mc is for the *console*
[09:02] <cablesm102> mike, it's like nautilus, but with ftp and works in the terminal
[09:02] <mwe> odd
[09:03] <mike> oh
[09:03] <asdfasdf> does anyone know of a package that allows you to upload FTP from the terminal?
[09:03] <sw33t> i use it for a hlds czero server.
[09:03] <Fireal> sw33t:  does your BIOS recognize 1G?
[09:03] <mwe> sw33t: is it detected at boot time?
[09:03] <mwe> sw33t: does the bios recognize it?
[09:03] <stefg> mike: consider gnome-commander if you want a classical two-pane filemanager
[09:03] <mike> I'm looking for a graphical manager like nautilus yet better, but I don't know any.
[09:03] <sw33t> i never chek boot time i vnc it ill check.
[09:04] <sw33t> and yes it used to say 1g

[09:04] <mwe> yeah
[09:04] <sw33t> quit
[09:04] <pike_> asdfasdf: you dont want to just type ftp? then midnight commander is a good terminal app. are you trolling ? :)
[09:04] <liam_> now ive installed the kde package how do i use it?
[09:05] <stefg> mike: nautilus is a core part of gnome, so you just can't replace that. What's wrong with it (apart from being a loose collection of spaghetti-code snippets) ? :-)
[09:05] <asdfasdf> pike_: what's the syntax for ftp
[09:05] <mwe> liam_: choose kde at the login screen
[09:05] <liam_> oh ok cheers
[09:05] <mike> I guess it's alright.
[09:05] <mike> Another question, what's a good html editor for gnome?

[09:31] <jvai> aaaa, that's what happened... now, i wouldnt know how to get the mount fixed unless i do some googling @ western
[09:31] <neildarlow> eitan: you'll need an ftp or ssh daemon running on the target

[09:32] <eitan> Where can I find the ssh server in ubuntu, or do I have to install it?

[09:35] <western> jvai ... but why "lsusb" doesnt recognize any usb hardware? Bus 003 Device 001: ID 0000:0000
[09:36] <mwe> liam_: the links ubotu pointed to has a good short explanation of it
[09:36] <neildarlow> western: does dmesg show anything?
[09:36] <techfun> hey
[09:37] <jonah1980> hello is there a way to install a theme for kde apps so they match my gnome ubuntu setup? when i run kde apps they don't look right
[09:37] <jvai> western: even when u try a usbstorage disk?
[09:37] <Reliant> shucks, looked through the forums, don't see anything that'd help me :(
[09:37] <pike_> Una^: menu.list looks ok?
[09:37] <techfun> anyone running lyceum on Dapper?
[09:37] <mztriz> I did these tweaks (http://tvease.net/wiki/index.php?title=Tweak_ubuntu_for_speed) and my wireless internet stopped working
[09:37] <pike_> Una^: menu.lst
[09:37] <western> neildarlow: hub_port_status failed (err = -32)
[09:38] <neildarlow> western: well, that needs investigating
[09:38] <Una^> pike_, hmm, I seem to be lacking /boot :D
[09:38] <burepe> how can I check my mysql version?
[09:38] <Tom_Green> the ubuntu community is about to gain a new member... me! (with a lot of greenhorn questions) #1: ubuntu or kubuntu?
[09:38] <Tom_Green> which is more newbie friendly?
[09:38] <Reliant> when a computer boots up, what order does it run through the rc scripts for booting? To try and find out which boot script is the one hanging
[09:38] <neildarlow> Tom_Green: KDE or GNOME?
[09:38] <ianp> kubuntu is just ubuntu that uses KDE instead of GNOME as the desktop, right
[09:39] <mztriz> I did these tweaks (http://tvease.net/wiki/index.php?title=Tweak_ubuntu_for_speed) and my wireless internet stopped working
[09:39] <western> neildarlow: usb 4-4: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 51
[09:39] <Tom_Green> neildarlow: er... what?
[09:39] <ianp> mat|work: is it enabled in the networking control panel
[09:39] <neildarlow> Tom_Green: what's your preference?
[09:39] <cassidy_> hey guys, would somone help me to get dri working with my x1950 pro?
[09:39] <techfun> Tom, I'd start with Ubuntu, its easier to get going with
[09:39] <Una^> pike_, though that's impossible since the kernel is in there hmm...
[09:39] <techfun> then play with KDE later if you want
[09:39] <burepe> ubntu but that is personal choice. I find ubuntu easier to use but exwindows users might like kde because it is similar
[09:39] <cassidy_> i got the 8.32.5 drivers on but theres no dri and opengl lists mesa as the provider
[09:39] <Tom_Green> neildarlow: sorry, I've no clue what these two wordws mean
[09:39] <western> jvai .... the same effect with the usb key of my girlfriend :)
[09:40] <Tom_Green> ah... kde is more like windows gooooooooood!
[09:40] <pike_> Una^: you probably are booting a kernel to a different / i did that onetime accidently booted into ubuntu using my kernel from slackware parition or something
[09:40] <Tom_Green> thanks, burepe
[09:40] <jvai> western: google to the rescue! look @ what i found - http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=188288 just go to the end of that post
[09:40] <neildarlow> Tom_Green: take a look at the ubuntu and kubuntu screenshots and see which appeals most to you
[09:40] <mztriz> my wireless internet isn't working.
[09:41] <burepe> Tom_Green: kubuntu's gui is Kde. ubuntu's gui is gnome
[09:41] <Tom_Green> neildarlow: thanks!
[09:41] <Una^> pike_, well.. its kinda weird - its an intel mac, and fresh install so I can't see how there would be another kernel on there
[09:41] <cassidy_> anyone at all?
[09:41] <Seta-San> i prefer kde to gnome
[09:41] <western> jvai ... cool! i will test it and report after
[09:41] <JayRoe> are there other ways to run code other than the terminal?
[09:41] <pike_> Una^: you just did a simple grub-install ?
[09:41] <jvai> ok @ western
[09:41] <techfun> I do too Seta, but I start my employees on Gnome
[09:42] <a2k> why do you start people on gnome techfun?
[09:42] <eitan> ok... let me be more specific... is there any way to mount the hard drive of another computer on the lan on this computer's desktop or filesystem?
[09:42] <Roconda> hey, my splash screen doesn't show on a boot up, it does show when I shut my computer down. how to solve it so it will show by the boot???
[09:42] <Sutur> Catastrophe! I left my internal storage drive and external storage drive copying files overnight, when I wope up the computer had frozen, one of the drives can't be read and my root filesystem is complaining about things left right and centre. I don't know where to start and where to go for help, I am completely at a loss.
[09:42] <mztriz> my wireless internet isn't working...
[09:42] <neildarlow> techfun: why's that? i see KDE as more untuitive
[09:42] <a2k> It seems to me that KDE is more windows-ish
[09:42] <techfun> Gnome seems to be easier for people to handle precisely becuase its LESS like windows
[09:42] <Tajmox> burepe i find gnome to be more similar to windows
[09:42] <jonah1980> hello anyone here you can help get kde apps looking right in gnome? they don't match and how can i change this?
[09:42] <techfun> KDE is too windowsish  -  people think its going to be the same
[09:42] <poorenglish> eitan: see NFS or samba doc
[09:42] <Seta-San> what's wrong with windows?
[09:43] <a2k> i see, so you must break them away from M$, then build 'em up to linux?
[09:43] <burepe> Tom_Green: from my experience adding languages under ubuntu is much easier than kubuntu. so if that is a concern to you... Also, many more people use ubuntu than kubuntu so FAQs that you find are likely to be easier if you have kubuntu.
[09:43] <techfun> a2k - exactly
[09:43] <a2k> metaphorically speaking
[09:43] <Fireal> the great thing is that they are all different, so you have to try to see what suits YOU best
[09:43] <Tajmox> eitan samba if you're using windows filesystems   and nfs if you're using linux filesystems
[09:43] <a2k> good point
[09:43] <techfun> also,  i've had some stability issues with KDE and video drivers on the crap machines we buy
[09:43] <a2k> i started on KDE, then switched to gnome, and recently fell back in love with KDE
[09:43] <JayRoe> can someone tell me how I run a short script?
[09:43] <a2k> is there a performance diffrence between gnome, and KDE?
[09:43] <kcinna> has anyone had trouble getting azureus to work with firestarter firewall?
[09:44] <jonah1980> i've googled to the ends of time and back and there is nothing on making kde apps look right in ubuntu
[09:44] <Tom_Green> burepe: oh. that is of interest to me.
[09:44] <burepe> Tom_Green: also if you install in ubuntu and then do "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" you can install kubuntu and use both. More support stuff is ubunutu suited
[09:44] <jvai> lol @ jonah
[09:45] <metres> Hi all, I have a keyboard configuration problem... I dont have the right keyboard and I got this error : loadkeys: error reading keyboard mode
[09:45] <a2k> the only reason i switched to Gnome was i was told that it uses less system overhead
[09:45] <pike_> JayRoe: 'bash scriptname'  or chmod +x scriptname then ./scriptname  you can check it to see what shell by doing like "head scriptname" youll see like #!/usr/bin/bash or something
[09:45] <techfun> a2k, not enough of a performance diffence to matter
[09:45] <wyld> I have a brand new install of ubuntu 6.06 x64 and it will start up just fine, but will not shut down. when i click on the shut down icon, and then the shut down button thingie in the dialog, all that happens is the screen goes blank, and two white boxes appear, both about the size of my pinkie finger nail, both are on one line, about 1/3 of the way down the screen, and one is on the left side, the other is about three inches away fro
[09:45] <jonah1980> Tom_Green, i'd recommend ubuntu not kubuntu - it's the original and more users and support
[09:45] <wyld> m the right side. the shutdown sound keeps replaying like a broken record, and nothing happens. any ideas? please?
[09:45] <a2k> thats what my subjective anyalisis told me
[09:45] <a2k> cool
[09:45] <Tom_Green> thanks, jonah1980
[09:45] <kcinna> what ip address would i add to allow any host to make connections at a port?
[09:45] <a2k> if you want KDE, i think Mepis is more refined, Ununtu for Gnome
[09:46] <Tom_Green> #2: 6.10 or 6.06 ?
[09:46] <a2k> *ubuntu
[09:46] <techfun> 6.06 Tom
[09:46] <jonah1980> jvai, hey it's not funny dude!! you'd think it'd be so simple, why does no one seem to wanna make everything look right...
[09:46] <techfun> Long Term Support
[09:46] <techfun> go to edgy later if you like
[09:46] <davmor2> wyld: do you have an Nvidia graphics card
[09:46] <wyld> no
[09:46] <eitan> Ok... is there an nfs gui front end that I can setup?
[09:46] <JayRoe> how do I run code outside the terminal?
[09:46] <burepe>  a2k don't you think that ubuntu is easier for beginniers than mepis?
[09:46] <ozo> hi
[09:46] <a2k> i really dont
[09:46] <b0ef> ehlo
[09:46] <burepe> really
[09:47] <Fireal> I second burepe
[09:47] <b0ef> anywhere to download the default theme (gtkrc) for ubuntu?
[09:47] <jvai> i kno jonah... i just use.. gnome... r there kde themes that would work for u? u may just need the right theme
[09:47] <davmor2> not sure then normally those problems occur with Nvidia cards
[09:47] <mharding> Can someone help me get beryl working on ubuntu
[09:47] <a2k> i fond there are less issues to resolve to get the system working with mepis, although, the menu structure is simpler
[09:47] <adaptr> mharding: Edgy ?
[09:47] <burepe> a2k I don't have much experience with mepis but I know that any other distro just made me cry in the end
[09:47] <jonah1980> jvai, but i only use gnome too, that's my problem - but i've got like amarok and a couple kde programs, when running them in gnome they just don't match but i don't know how to theme them in gnome!
[09:48] <burepe> a2k when I was first starting out.
[09:48] <JayRoe> adaptr, you know how I can run a code that won't stop when I close the terminal?
[09:48] <b0ef> JayRoe: nohup
[09:48] <pike_> JayRoe: the chmod +x scriptname once it has that x executable flag you should be able to run it from the gui might have to choose "run from terminal" when you doubleclick it.
[09:48] <adaptr> JayRoe: what "code" ? BLURBIEXJ%efefef ?
[09:48] <eitan> Is there an nfs gui front end that I can use to connect two linux computers for file transfer purposes?
[09:48] <burepe> Tom_Green: did you see that command I typed? save it somewhere.
[09:48] <adaptr> eitan: use scp for that, it's quicker
[09:48] <metres> Do anyone know why my keyboard changed after installation of ubuntu.desktop on a kubuntu ?
[09:49] <mharding> yes I am running edgy
[09:49] <techfun> yea eitan  ise sftp or scp
[09:49] <mztriz> my wireless internet isn't working...
[09:49] <adaptr> mharding: nvidia video card ?
[09:49] <JayRoe> adaptr, beryl --screen 0 & beryl --screen 1
[09:49] <burepe> eitan what is an nfs gui?
[09:49] <Tom_Green> burepe: ugh, commands! no, i didn't
[09:49] <jvai> oooo, riiight, i got some dev apps from kde also, same problem, quanta plus, wont even run, it just doesn't load, i'm afraid to uninstall it cause sumthin else may need it libraries :(
[09:49] <eitan> Network file system graphical user interface.
[09:49] <mharding> yes
[09:49] <neildarlow> eitan: Places|Network Servers... will do it
[09:49] <jonah1980> does no one else use a few kde apps within gnome? surely there is a way to make them match better?
[09:49] <adaptr> JayRoe: you don't use beryl-manager ?
[09:49] <burepe> go up to my last post to you Tom_Green
[09:49] <mztriz> my wireless internet isn't working...I've been using ubuntu for about 3 years and I've never had a problem with it.
[09:49] <mharding> with the beta drivers
[09:50] <eitan> ok I opened up the network servers window... now what?
[09:50] <adaptr> mharding: easy-peasy: 1. get nvidia accel X drivers, 2. add beryl repo, 3. apt-get beryl, 4. start beryl-manager
[09:50] <Fireal> jonah1980:  Amarok follows me no matter what desktop I have
[09:50] <JayRoe> adaptr, I do, but it can only activate the cube on one screen. I want two independent cubes.
[09:50] <adaptr> mharding: why beta ?
[09:50] <neildarlow> jonah1980: search the forums, there are threads on KDE apps in ubuntu
[09:50] <Tom_Green> burepe: thanks!
[09:50] <adaptr> JayRoe: beryl 0.1.4 has undependent cubes
[09:50] <Fireal> sorry disregard last post
[09:50] <Tajmox> eitan if the computer with nfs installed is properly connected to the network         it will show up in network servers
[09:50] <adaptr> JayRoe: use pricechild's repo
[09:50] <burepe> eitan do you know smb4k?
[09:51] <jvai> kde specific apps r just broke in gnome:(, i try to just stay w/ gnome apps
[09:51] <mharding> not sure
[09:51] <neildarlow> burepe: he said nfs not smb
[09:51] <mharding> what I start beryl the screen looks weird
[09:51] <adaptr> mharding: did your card work with the ubuntu drivers ?
[09:51] <mharding> yup
[09:51] <Tajmox> kde apps work great on my xubuntu machine and all use the same theme that i have set
[09:51] <techfun> i have the kde libraries install becuase i use filelight all the time
[09:51] <adaptr> mharding: so why change them for something unknown ?
[09:51] <mztriz> my wireless internet isn't working...I've been using ubuntu for about 3 years and I've never had a problem with it. It stopped working after I applied these 'tweaks' http://tvease.net/wiki/index.php?title=Tweak_ubuntu_for_speed
[09:51] <burepe> neildarlow: sorry I don't know nfs is?
[09:51] <Tom_Green> #3: desktop CD or alternate install CD?
[09:51] <adaptr> JayRoe: you've fallen off you chair, I can tell
[09:52] <Tajmox> mztriz : back trace your steps
[09:52] <techfun> Live Desktop CD is simplest
 -- so go undo the tweaks
[09:52] <mztriz> Tajmox, I deleted all of the stuff I did that had to do with teh inetnet
[09:52] <jonah1980> neildarlow, i can't find anything in forums about themeing kde apps in gnome
[09:52] <JayRoe> adaptr, it works perfectly. My only problem is that once I close the terminal, beryl shuts down on one of the monitors
[09:52] <mztriz> a2k, I did
[09:52] <techfun> I only use the Alternative CD on machines with < 384mb of ram
[09:52] <liquidengineer> Hello
[09:52] <Tajmox> mztriz it is a good idea to back up your /etc directory before doing any major system modification
[09:52] <jcruzlara> hi can anyone tell me what i should do about this configure: error: No C# 2.0 (gmcs) compiler found
[09:52] <pike_> JayRoe: thats where nohup comes in usually
[09:52] <adaptr> JayRoe: and starting beryl twice on diferent monitors solves this ?
[09:52] <mztriz> Tajmox, Yeah, but I didn't so... ?
[09:52] <mharding> how can I tell if beryl is working right
[09:53] <neildarlow> mztriz: try iwconfig. is your AP visible?
[09:53] <mharding> is there a test
[09:53] <burepe> Tom_Green: desktop. It is a live cd too. You can run it with out installing and if you want to install it has a gui set up
[09:53] <a2k> are you getting any errors?
[09:53] <mztriz> neildarlow, I
[09:53] <adaptr> mharding: hit ctrl-alt and grab the screen with your mouse....
[09:53] <MitchM> jcruzlara, Use Google.
[09:53] <mztriz> neildarlow, I'll check
[09:53] <mztriz> a2k, no
[09:53] <techfun> the Live CD also might help you detect any hardware issues
[09:53] <eitan> I don't know what smb4k is.
[09:53] <mharding> I don't have beryl loaded
[09:53] <mharding> when I do the screen gets weird
[09:53] <adaptr> mharding: well, how can you tell that it's working, then ?
[09:53] <jcruzlara> yea sorry i was just feeling lazy right now i've googled it though
[09:53] <adaptr> define "weird"
[09:53] <neildarlow> eitan: ignore smb4k, you don't want that
[09:53] <JayRoe> adaptr. If I use twinview, I rotate both cubes at the same time and I'm limited when it comes to defining custom resolutions.
[09:54] <Tajmox> smb4k - A Samba (SMB) share advanced browser for KDE
[09:54] <burepe> eitan: smb4k is a gui for a samba network. kde based
[09:54] <eitan> isn't samba for windows only?
[09:54] <MitchM> jcruzlara, Good man :)
[09:54] <Tajmox> no
[09:54] <adaptr> JayRoe: I said nothing about twinview - only that beryl 1.4 has options for multiple screens
[09:54] <Arsenick-TC2L> someone know how can i recover my ps2 mouse.. I had unplugged the mouse and I can't get it working again.. is it another way to recover my mouse then reboot ??
[09:54] <jvai> i dont kno why external wifi cards since dapper r not connecting, no1 has problems w/ the internal wifi cards
[09:54] <Tajmox> samba works for ext2/3
[09:54] <phr34ck> how can I add fonts to Ubuntu and use them ?
[09:54] <MitchM> eitan, SAMBA is used for file/printer sharing between linux & windows.
[09:54] <burepe> eitan:  you are just trying to network computers? all linux?
[09:54] <eitan> so do I want to install nfs-kernel-server?
[09:54] <MitchM> generalyl.
[09:54] <MitchM> generally*
[09:54] <JayRoe> adaptr, the options for multiple screens are very limited and only work with twinview.
[09:55] <pike_> eitan: its a good alternative to nfs
[09:55] <eitan> two computers on the lan ... both linux
[09:55] <Tajmox> nfs was a lot easier to set up
[09:55] <pike_> but insecure
[09:55] <neildarlow> eitan: just use rsync between the two machines. it's probably installed on both already
[09:55] <eitan> how do I rsync the machines?
[09:55] <MitchM> eitan, Listen to neildarlow
[09:55] <adaptr> JayRoe: donate me one of your screen and we'll consider it solved
[09:55] <Tajmox> eitan : i used ubuntuguide.org and it worked great
[09:55] <kane77> hi
[09:55] <burepe> eitan: yeah I didn't have to install anything to network just did it in the gnome settings
[09:55] <JayRoe> adaptr, that would be the tv then. It's yours if you collect it.
[09:56] <eitan> ok... please tell me how.
[09:56] <phr34ck> how can I add fonts to Ubuntu and use them ?
[09:56] <liquidengineer> What's the big difference between Ubuuntu and kubuntu?
[09:56] <Arsenick-TC2L> kde
[09:56] <ice_cream> hey, does anyone know how to make irc script that shows what song you're ecurrently listening to?
[09:56] <kitche> liquidengineer: the desktop environment
[09:56] <neildarlow> MitchM: some folks like to do things the hard way ;)
[09:56] <ice_cream> kubuntu comes w/ KDE already
[09:56] <HS^> i have trouble installing nvidia. i followed all steps. when i hit 'ctr-alt-backspace' the screen is black. it sais : Cannot open device /dev/wacom
[09:56] <HS^> someone knows why
[09:56] <MitchM> liquidengineer, Ubuntu uses Gnomes; Kubuntu uses KDE
[09:56] <pike_> liquidengineer: xubuntu xfce ubuntu gnome kubuntu kde
[09:56] <MitchM> neildarlow, Silly people.
[09:56] <burepe> eitan mine is in japanese so some of the words might be different but bear with me
[09:56] <kane77> I seen a script that would start multiple instances of Xserver with different WM's, but I cant find it... :( anyone knows?
[09:56] <mztriz> neildarlow, It says something like 'IEEE 802.11b ESS ID AP_Router...' and then 'sit0 No wireless extentions' 'vmnet1 no wireless extensions' 'vmnet8 no wireless extensions'
[09:56] <JayRoe> adaptr, can you tell me how to run a short code that isn't dependent on a terminal?
[09:56] <Tajmox> eitan : System -> Shared Folders
[09:56] <liquidengineer> I've got an old laptop (256 MB, 1 GHz original Athlon)
[09:56] <liquidengineer> I'd like to put some buntu on it
[09:57] <liquidengineer> but I'm not sure which one to use
[09:57] <adaptr> JayRoe: do you mean you don't want to start it from a terminal , or that you want it to keep running ?
[09:57] <MitchM> liquidengineer, Xubuntu
[09:57] <liquidengineer> MitchM: Oh?
[09:57] <Tajmox> liquidengineer : xubuntu is fast but regular ubuntu will work just fine too
[09:57] <adaptr> JayRoe: the term is "script", as in "shell script"
[09:57] <MitchM> JayRoe, <program> &
[09:57] <eitan> where can I find system ?
[09:57] <MitchM> liquidengineer, Xubuntu.
[09:57] <adaptr> MitchM: not gonna work if the code run returns
[09:57] <neildarlow> mztriz: is there a nn:nn:nn:nn:nn:nn hex string displayed next to "Access Point:" ?
[09:57] <mharding> how do I know that xgl is installed right
[09:58] <liquidengineer> There's a slight possibility of upgrading the memory to 384 sometime in the future
[09:58] <MitchM> adaptr, For all general purposes; '&'
[09:58] <mztriz> neildarlow, I don't believe so, but met me go check again.
[09:58] <adaptr> mharding: you don't need xgl in Edgy
[09:58] <mharding> how can I edit my x.org file
[09:58] <liquidengineer> MitchM: Is that a full featured environment?
[09:58] <kane77> liquidengineer, I suggest xubuntu, although I ran normal ubuntu just fine on 1Ghz Duron with 256 Ram
[09:58] <western> jvai... there was no solution... i installed some new usb tools in the meantime...  for a short moment the disk was recognized now... after 10 seconds it stopped again
[09:58] <mharding> oh
[09:58] <burepe> eitan ok go to system>settings>shared folders.  and pick the folders to share
[09:58] <mharding> what do I need
[09:58] <MitchM> liquidengineer, It has everything you need; yes.
[09:58] <liquidengineer> i.e.: all the standard apps like openoffice, firefox, etc?
[09:58] <Tajmox> mharding xorg.conf is located in /etc/X11
[09:58] <JayRoe> adaptr, at the moment I activate beryl from the terminal by typing "beryl --screen 0 & beryl --screen 1". But as soon as I close the terminal, beryl shuts down.
[09:58] <adaptr> MitchM: if I run "echo Hello &", it's not going to "keep running" just because I put it in the background
[09:58] <mharding> what is the sudo command to edit
[09:58] <jvai> western: when it work'd the usb icon showed on the desktop?
[09:59] <MitchM> adaptr, He didnt specify that.
[09:59] <JayRoe> adaptr, any possible way around that would be good enough for me.
[09:59] <liquidengineer> It'll check it out
[09:59] <liquidengineer> Thanks.
[09:59] <adaptr> MitchM: true, but he does want that :)
[09:59] <Tajmox> mharding nano is the text editor and gedit is the gnome editor
[09:59] <MitchM> adaptr, well thats just silly
[09:59] <western> jvai ... there where to many windows opend, but the content of the disk was shown in a new window
[09:59] <frenchfry929> How do I add a free space partition to my ubuntu partition?
[09:59] <mharding> I have gnome
[09:59] <mztriz> neildarlow, it says 'Access Point 00:02:DD:34:81:7D'
[09:59] <neildarlow> Tajmox: gedit is for editing gnomes not text? ;)
[09:59] <Tajmox> mharding gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[09:59] <pike_> frenchfry929: gparted to resize paritions but backup importants stuff first
[10:00] <frenchfry929> thanks pike
[10:00] <kitche> mharding: it doesn' matter what you use but if liek a graphical interface use gedit
[10:00] <adaptr> JayRoe: the & command puts the first process in the background, so that one will keep running - the second won't
[10:00] <neildarlow> mztriz: ok, you have a connection, can you ping something?
[10:00] <Tajmox> neildarlow no it only edits gnomes and sometimes dwarfs
[10:00] <adaptr> JayRoe: you may mean && to run both programs
[10:00] <MitchM> liquidengineer, anytime :)
[10:00] <jvai> western: ok.. it was mounted, .. & u "unmounted" it correctly, right?
[10:00] <Reliant> Quick question. When I do a recovery boot, and go into maintenence after a ctrl+alt+del, how can I remount my drive as writable? It's mounted as read-only by default
[10:00] <mztriz> neildarlow, I don't think it works but I'll try again.
[10:00] <mborg> What's a good substitute for FCKeditor?
[10:00] <MitchM> Reliant, try mount +rw
[10:00] <JayRoe> adaptr, that's probably it. I though it meant "and"
[10:01] <Reliant> MitchM: Do I pass any other parameters?
[10:01] <western> jvai... no! after 10 seconds it was closed again and there was the warning that i should unmount... but i did not do anything that time... strange
[10:01] <MitchM> adaptr, I'm going to resist saying "boo-ya"
[10:01] <adaptr> JayRoe: traditionally, nohup is used to start a process and detach it form the controlling TTY
[10:01] <JayRoe> adaptr, should it then be "beryl --screen 0 & beryl --screen 1&"
[10:01] <liquidengineer> Do I want 6.10 or 6.06?
[10:01] <adaptr> MitchM: because ?
[10:01] <mharding> can someone take a look at this http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/479/
[10:01] <jvai> try plugging it again @ western
[10:01] <MitchM> Reliant, Sure.
[10:01] <adaptr> JayRoe: yes, or nohup both
[10:01] <western> jvai but i got the message in the terminal: Bus 004 Device 085: ID 1058:0701 Western Digital Technologies, Inc.
[10:01] <adaptr> JayRoe: test it out already :)
[10:02] <jvai> snaap...
[10:02] <liquidengineer> I'm trying to fix this up for a somewhat technologically inexperienced friend of mine, so I want the most reliable version possible
[10:02] <mztriz> neildarlow, no, ping just says 'Ping unknown host..'
[10:02] <mharding> do I have to add anything for beryl to work right
[10:02] <neildarlow> mztriz: have you tried pinging your gateway by IP address?
[10:02] <Tom_Green> okay... that's it for today. goodnight to all ye fellow europeans and thanks for answering my questions!
[10:02] <pike_> liquidengineer: daper (6.06) is what i normally recommend. its the long term support version
[10:02] <pike_> dapper
[10:03] <jvai> western, i wonder if those make of drives r compatible... i dont kno what to tell u.
[10:03] <jvai> i'm on dapper
[10:03] <liquidengineer> what's the difference?
[10:03] <adaptr> mharding: from a console just use regular sudo
[10:03] <eitan> ok... I created a shared folder on the ubuntu computer...
[10:03] <JayRoe> adaptr, I'll try restarting x, I think it had too much beryl
[10:03] <mztriz> neildarlow, how would I do that?
[10:03] <burepe> Can someone who is good at networking tell eitan how to set up networking through the gnome gui? my system is japanese so the words are all different and I am having trouble remembering how to do it.
[10:04] <eitan> What do I do now?
[10:04] <burepe> eitan I am gonna keep working on it. it was easy though
[10:04] <neildarlow> mztriz: if your network is 192.168.0. then it's probably <IP_ADDRESS>
[10:04] <liquidengineer> What does Long Term Support mean?
[10:04] <jvai> western: edgy is um.... edgy
[10:04] <adaptr> mztriz: ping the IP that's listed as default in the output of "route -n"
[10:04] <pike_> liquidengineer: well dapper is older but ubuntu has a 6 month release cycle so not exactly old. and it is kept up to date.
[10:04] <liquidengineer> Sounds like a paid service. :D
[10:04] <adaptr> liquidengineer: at least 3 years :)
[10:04] <liquidengineer> Ah
[10:04] <western> jvai, ok i try google again, maybe i find something about [17180311.412000]  ehci_hcd 0000:00:1d.7: port 3 reset error -110
[10:04] <western> [17180311.412000]  hub 4-0:1.0: hub_port_status failed (err = -32)
[10:04] <adaptr> liquidengineer: exactly the opposite, actually - you'll get more support than MS offers, and for free
[10:04] <sam_uk> is there a command i can use to test xgl installation?
[10:04] <liquidengineer> I'm guessing it's fairly simple to upgrade later if I want to
[10:05] <liquidengineer> apt-get or somesuch
[10:05] <mztriz> neildarlow, my internal IP address?
[10:05] <jvai> western: sorry i'm of little help, i'm stumped
[10:05] <liquidengineer> (I'm a MacOS X guy....my main experience with this sort of thing is darwin ports.)
[10:05] <neildarlow> mztriz: yes of your access point
[10:05] <pike_> liquidengineer: yes apt-get dist-upgrade
[10:05] <adaptr> or, rather: update-manager -c
[10:05] <burepe> eitan: Ok I figured it out. but i did mine with samba. Can we use that? you can still work with linux but you can also add windows comps. that is the only difference
[10:05] <pluma> Help! I've bought a new LCD screen and wired it up with my Linux box. I want to use the old LCD screen for dual output and connected it to the DVI out of my Linux box's nvidia card. What now? Merely adding a second screen (device, monitor, entry in ServerLayout) in xorg.conf apparently isn't enough
[10:06] <jvai> ok ppl.. i gotta bounce.. ty all
[10:06] <liquidengineer> I guess what I'm wondering (before i try to download a disk image) is this: is there a page with a concise discription of what's different between Dapper Drake (love that name) and the newer one?
[10:06] <adaptr> pluma: you'll have to enable xinerama in your x config
[10:06] <mztriz> so just ping and then my internal IP?
[10:06] <adaptr> pluma: or twinview in your nvidia card
[10:06] <pluma> adaptr: how do I enable twinview?
[10:06] <adaptr> !twinview | pluma
[10:06] <neildarlow> mztriz: not the IP of your desktop/laptop but your access point
[10:06] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about twinview - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[10:06] <burepe> liquidengineer: how did you like darwin ports. I could never get it to work.
[10:06] <pluma> adaptr: Also, how do I enable xinerama properly?
[10:06] <adaptr> pfft suckabot
[10:06] <mztriz> neildarlow, OHHH okay.
[10:06] <pluma> Also, ubotu doesn't know about that
[10:06] <eitan> oh boy... I only set up nfs in ubuntu.. I have to go and change it I guess... wait
[10:07] <techfun> in the ubuntuforums there is a good step-by-step for twinview
[10:07] <adaptr> pluma: load it as an extension in xorg.conf
[10:07] <burepe> eitan it is pretty easy
[10:07] <adaptr> pluma: or something, I've never used it :(
[10:07] <techfun> i used it
[10:07] <liquidengineer> burepe: I love it
[10:07] <burepe> eitan don't change anythig
[10:07] <liquidengineer> I would love it more if my computer weren't so slow
[10:07] <burepe> eitan just follow me
[10:07] <pluma> adaptr: import a module?
[10:07] <techfun> http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=221174&highlight=twinview
[10:07] <adaptr> pluma: urnghk ?
[10:08] <burepe> liquidengineer: so you can use tons of linux apps on your mac now? gnome and stuff/
[10:08] <burepe> ?
[10:08] <adaptr> burepe: Gnome is not a "linux app"
[10:08] <adaptr> there are no such beasts
[10:08] <techfun> oops   I meant this for Twinview:  http://www.ublug.org/ubuntu/twinview/twinview-howto-breezy.html
[10:08] <burepe> I meant other than aps. gui too
[10:08] <shreeve_> lotsa kernel packages out there... what's the proper way to upgrade to the "most recent" supported kernel in ubuntu? Is this correct: apt-get install linux-generic"????
[10:09] <jamesbrose> How do I grep for a word in a whole directory?
[10:09] <liquidengineer> burepe: Yeah
[10:09] <adaptr> shreeve_: yep
[10:09] <techfun> grep -r
[10:09] <neildarlow> shreeve_: yes
[10:09] <techfun> grep word *
[10:09] <adaptr> jamesbrose: use grep foo ./*
[10:09] <webmaren> does anybody know of a way to make the volume on headphones higher in bmp
[10:09] <pike_> jamesbrose: grep word * will work if youre in the dir or add a grep -R for subdirs
[10:09] <burepe> eitan go back to the folder you set up
[10:09] <burepe> and choose smb
[10:09] <ikonia> I'e just formated my ubuntu 6.06 laptop install and replaced it with edgy. The scroll option on my touch pad isn't working does anyone understand the confix for edgy/X to get it working
[10:09] <techfun> or grep -i if you want it case insenstive
[10:10] <mztriz> neildarlow, okay, I pinged the AP but it said 'unknown host' and so then I pinged the  internal IP and it worked on that desktop but if I try it from this desktop it says 8 packets transmitted, 0 received, +6 errors, 100% packet loss, time 7027ms
[10:10] <mztriz> , pipe 3
[10:10] <pluma> techfun: thanks
[10:10] <shreeve_> does "apt-get install linux-generic" bring in all the modules? do i have to manually install the 'restricted' modules?
[10:10] <jamesbrose> adaptr, root@intranet:/var# grep james ./*
[10:10] <western> jvai... i found somethind that it might be a problem of timeout of the EHCI Host Controller... something about changing the timeout to 600s from 500... is this a risk?
[10:10] <jamesbrose> adaptr, it comes up with nothing :S
[10:10] <adaptr> jamesbrose: yers
[10:10] <neildarlow> mztriz: does the output of route -n look sensible?
[10:10] <adaptr> jamesbrose: then it's prolly not there
[10:10] <techfun> james, are you trying to search down inside sub directoruies?
[10:11] <jamesbrose> yes
[10:11] <jamesbrose> techfun, yes
[10:11] <eitan> Now I can't figure out how to install samba. What a pain...
[10:11] <burepe> is there away to group one program windows together in the taskbar like Windows?
[10:11] <techfun> then use   grep -r word *
[10:11] <adaptr> jamesbrose: then use grep -R foo ./*
[10:11] <burepe> eitan: wait
[10:11] <adaptr> techfun: lowercase not gonna cut it here ;-)
[10:11] <ikonia> eitan: apt-get
[10:11] <burepe> eitan lets start over. just follow me.
[10:11] <eitan> ok
[10:12] <techfun> adaptr, both will work
[10:12] <burepe> eitan go to system>settings>shared folders
[10:12] <techfun>  -R, -r, --recursive       equivalent to --directories=recurse
[10:12] <burepe> eitan pick the folder you shared before
[10:12] <techfun> grep --help | grep recursive  :)
[10:12] <adaptr> burepe: right-click the small vertical thingy on the left of your windows, choose preferences
[10:12] <burepe> adaptr thanks
[10:13] <HS^> can someone please help with nvidia? i get a black screen
[10:13] <Blacken> I have an Inspiron E1505 laptop. Has anyone here figured out microphone support for these (running Edgy atm)? I searched the forums, but it seems there's no support for it.
[10:13] <burepe> eitan now choose smb
[10:13] <douglas> Is there a large set of games for ubuntu?
[10:13] <adaptr> techfun: true! it didna use to, though...
[10:13] <Blacken> Or weren't then.
[10:13] <douglas> other than gnome games
[10:13] <douglas> and the tux games
[10:13] <Blacken> douglas: http://www.linuxgames.com
[10:13] <techfun> yea  i know, its a recent change
[10:13] <mztriz> neildarlow, yeah it looks okay
[10:13] <HymnToLife> douglas, what kind of games ?
[10:13] <douglas> all sorts
[10:13] <burepe> eitan can you say ok when you finish each step so I know you are with me?
[10:13] <eitan> There IS NO SMB!
[10:13] <douglas> FPS.. adventure
[10:13] <neildarlow> mztriz: i would check the setup of your wireless NIC in /etc/network/interfaces
[10:13] <adaptr> techfun: just when I had the capital R burned into my brain, too...
[10:13] <HymnToLife> !info openarena
[10:13] <ubotu> Package openarena does not exist in any distro I know
[10:13] <burepe> eitan ok
[10:13] <HymnToLife> too bad
[10:13] <eitan> .... When I first enabled the shared folders... it said ...
[10:13] <kitche> douglas: you might like tremulous
[10:13] <techfun> both wrk so you dont need to change
[10:14] <adaptr> HymnToLife: do you mean alien arena ?
[10:14] <eitan> do you want nfs, samba, or both...
[10:14] <nikin> douglas for FPS see Quake 3 and EnemyTerritory
[10:14] <huiezer> i needasdf
[10:14] <danny500> I need help with gksu users-admin
[10:14] <douglas> I dont have a graphics card.. so mainly adventure i guess
[10:14] <eitan> I said NFS since all the people here said I shouldn't be using samba...
[10:14] <techfun> the -R capital is required for chmod tho
[10:14] <douglas> or the default dlel one
[10:14] <techfun> still
[10:14] <eitan> now I can't install samba anymore...
[10:14] <HymnToLife> adaptr, nope, I mean the GPL'ed Quake III Arena
[10:14] <adaptr> you need 4 consecutive letters on the keyboard ?
[10:14] <eitan> it only gives nfs as a choice.
[10:14] <danny500> I need help with gksu users-admin
[10:14] <HymnToLife> it's in the DEbian repos, I wonder why it's not in Ubuntu
[10:14] <pike_> douglas: first person shooters: tremulous (awesome online fps), enemy territory, and paid stuff like quake4 or savage2, or agian free like wesnoth a turnbased strategy
[10:14] <douglas> any more free kinda adventure games like supertux?
[10:15] <eitan> The computer I'm talking about is in the other room, so every time you ask me to do something... I have to go running there... so you have to give me time.
[10:15] <techfun> eitan:  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper#Samba_Server
[10:15] <danny500> I need help with gksu users-admin
[10:15] <adaptr> pike_: douglas, don;'t forget nexuiz!
[10:15] <burepe> eitan what do you mean "do I want nfs, samba or both"? why can you not install samba? did you tyr synaptic?
[10:15] <techfun> eitan, can't you SSH into it?
[10:15] <adaptr> eitan: why not connect with ssh then ?
[10:15] <michi_s> hello, I stopped a "job" (emacs) in the terminal , how can I start it again ? thx
[10:15] <danny500> I need help with gksu users-admin
[10:15] <techfun> jinx adaptr
[10:15] <burepe> eitan ok. It the other comp connected to the net?
[10:15] <burepe> internet?
[10:15] <techfun> michi  -   fg
[10:15] <danny500> I need help with gksu users-admin
[10:15] <eitan> burepe: I mean that when I first tried to create a shared folder it said that I did not have either nfs or samba installed and which one did I want to install.
[10:15] <eitan> I said nfs.
[10:16] <danny500> I need help with gksu users-admin
[10:16] <burepe> eitan ok
[10:16] <michi_s> techfun: thank you very very much
[10:16] <eitan> Now it says... when I want to create a shared folder... that my only option is NFS.
[10:16] <eitan> It doesn't let me "add" a new protocol.
[10:16] <techfun> burepe  get rid of nfs and follow the step-by-step stuff here:  http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_dapper#Samba_Server
[10:16] <techfun> anytime michi
[10:16] <eitan> It's stuck in nfs.... and it doesn't give me that installation choice anymore.
[10:16] <techfun> apt-get remove ?
[10:16] <eitan> Now that it thinks it has nfs, it doesn't think it should give me the choice of samba anymore.
[10:17] <techfun> not sure what package names nfs uses
[10:17] <pike_> dougsko: if you get wesnoth dont apt-get it download beta from the project homepage. lots of fixes
[10:17] <mztriz> neildarlow, I think it's normal but here's what it says: auto lo iface lo inet loop back, eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp, and hen it's the same fore eth1, eth2, ath0, and wlan0
[10:17] <adaptr> eitan: that's.. probably not what really happens
[10:17] <mztriz> *and then it's the same for
[10:17] <burepe> eitan yeah do what techfun said. search nfs in synaptic, uninstall it. Then read that faq and get back to me. If they faq is hard I will help you.
[10:17] <adaptr> pike_: did they fix the "sound dies when you leave it running for a few hours" bug ?
[10:17] <eitan> ugh!
[10:17] <danny500> I NEED HELP WITH gksu users-admin FOR THE ^TH TIME!
[10:17] <pike_> adaptr: dunno about that one. but i found the whole thing much more polished
[10:17] <neildarlow> mztriz: does "ifconfig wlan0" look sensible?
[10:18] <adaptr> pike_: still too bloody small graphics, though ?
[10:18] <danny500> am I talking to a brick wall?
[10:18] <pike_> adaptr: yeah same look prettymuch
[10:18] <burepe> liquidengineer: would you mind helping me with darwin ports sometime?
[10:18] <techfun> off-topic:  anyone else having intermittent issues using any google sites today?
[10:18] <adaptr> danny500: yes, you are - or, as it is more commonly called, a glass tube
[10:18] <danny500> this is a help room but I'm not getting any
[10:19] <adaptr> (well, mine is)
[10:19] <neildarlow> danny500: can't you use System|Administration|Users and Groups?
[10:19] <danny500> no
[10:19] <kitche> danny500: sorry can't help if you don't say what's wrong
[10:19] <michi_s> techfun google works fine
[10:19] <pike_> danny500: what are you trying to achieve?
[10:19] <adaptr> danny500: this is indeed a support channel; it is not an I PAID TO GET HELP NOW GIMME SOME channel, though
[10:19] <techfun> danny,  be more specific
[10:19] <danny500> I used it a minute ago, changed some stuff and It cut me off from use of certaint Administration app's
[10:19] <techfun> an  you are no longer in the sudoers list
[10:19] <adaptr> danny500: you probably disabled your password, or changed it
[10:20] <kitche> danny500then you probably removed your user from the admin group
[10:20] <adaptr> or tat
[10:20] <GZT> hello everybody
[10:20] <jarrod10> 1000 people in room
[10:20] <jarrod10> :)
[10:20] <danny500> yeah I'm no long in the sudoers list
[10:20] <neildarlow> danny500: or, more likely, in the "admin" group
[10:20] <techfun> danny, any change you set the root password?
[10:20] <techfun> chance
[10:20] <adaptr> danny500: then you'll have to boot up ubuntu in safe mode
[10:20] <mztriz> neildarlow, when I type in ifconfig wlan0 it says wlan0: error fetching interface information: Device not found.
[10:20] <techfun> or have webmin installed?
[10:20] <adaptr> mztriz: it's iWconfig, actually
[10:21] <neildarlow> mztriz: what device is your wireless NIC associated with normally?
[10:21] <techfun> again:   Anyone have lyceum running on dapper?
[10:21] <kitche> adaptr: iwconfig is just a wireless wrapper to ifconfig you still need to use ifconfig to bring the device up
[10:21] <danny500> yeah I changed the root password
[10:21] <Senesence> How can I make it so that the terminal window always launches a certain size, and at a certain location on the desktop?
[10:21] <burepe> hey how can I set firefox as my default webbrowser?
[10:22] <neildarlow> adaptr: no, i was wanting to know if hos adapter is up and running. ifconfig is correct
[10:22] <mztriz> neildarlow, I have no idea... T____T; but should I do iWconfig wlan0?
[10:22] <bright_fame> does anyone know if the middle button copy/paste function is supposed to work in gedit (ubuntu edgy), it doesn't in mine
[10:22] <techfun> then just su then run users-admin
[10:22] <danny500> ok hold on I'm going to boot up into safemode
[10:22] <techfun> and put yourself back to the checkbox for allow admin tasks
[10:22] <danny500> oh ok hold on
[10:22] <neildarlow> mztriz: you can. it should show something other than "no wireless extensions"
[10:23] <burepe> bright_fame: how does that work? I can try it?
[10:23] <neildarlow> mztriz: it's iwconfig btw
[10:23] <bright_fame> highlight text, then middle click somewhere is in the edit window, it should paste the highlighted text
[10:23] <bright_fame> (somewhere ELSE in the...)
[10:24] <PinkyLinux> hi

[10:24] <bright_fame> burepe: for a 2 button mouse yep :D
[10:24] <techfun> I love ubuntu
[10:24] <neildarlow> bright_fame: have you tried - highlight, copy to clipboard, then middle click
[10:24] <burepe> one sec
[10:25] <Hexan> we all love ubuntu :D
[10:25] <kitche> mztriz: you sure your device is wlan0 it might be eth1 or another eth
[10:25] <xnor> i just installed ubuntu 6.10 amd64 i have a nvidia 6800gt graphicscard, how do i set the resolution higher than 1024x768 ?
[10:25] <Seta-San> i haven't tried it yet
[10:25] <eitan> I tried installing samba... and it didn't change my possible share options in the shared folder settings... then I uninstalled samba AND nfs, and once again, it didn't change my options in the shared folder settings... it still says that nfs is my only option. How pathetic!
[10:25] <burepe> bright_fame: didnt work for me
[10:25] <adaptr> xnor: you'll have to edit xorg.conf
[10:26] <bright_fame> burepe: thanks anyways
[10:26] <GZT> < xnor > xorg.conf
[10:26] <eitan> It's like once I chose nfs only, I'm doomed to nfs only... it never asks me again if maybe I want samba.
[10:26] <adaptr> techfun: why not/ they're easy, compared to some others
[10:26] <techfun> eitan, did you try to work through the guide i sent you?
[10:26] <neildarlow> eitan: you can't just install samba. you need to edit smb.conf and start the daemon too
[10:26] <burepe> bright_fame: I would like to use it if I could.
[10:26] <mztriz> kitche, it's a wireless card so I suppose it's wlan0? but it might be eth0?
[10:26] <mztriz> neildarlow, it says no such device
[10:26] <bright_fame> neildarlow: in gedit: highlight, copy, middle click does nothing
[10:26] <techfun> adaptr, same reason when I managed a support department i didnt allow reg based fixes....  too easy for the person you ar ehelping to hose themselves
[10:26] <bright_fame> neildarlow: but highlight in terminal, middle click inside gedit works fine
[10:26] <techfun> then I feel bad
[10:27] <burepe> bright_fame: do you know mouse gestures in firefox? I wonder if there is a gnome system wide thing like that?
[10:27] <PinkyLinux> my cam driver is supused to be installed allready, but i cant make the command "modprove -v spca5xx" becouse it says  "bash: comand not found" :S:S
[10:27] <tabman> those of you who use Windows might have noticed that the parition where windows is installed size keeps on getting bigger & bigger with time, does this happens in the linux world as well ?
[10:27] <eitan> You don't understand... it's not about installing samba or not installing samba... it's that the shared folder settings doesn't let me choose samba!
[10:27] <adaptr> techfun: well, as long as they make a backup of the config.... that's possible with the windoze registry too
[10:27] <neildarlow> bright_fame: is X configured for a 3 button mouse. it's not doing button 3 emulation, is it?
[10:27] <jmhodges> okay, silly question: somehow my BitTorrent files are now being associated with GVim. How do I associate them (both in GNOME and Firefox) with gnome-btdownload?
[10:27] <xnor> adaptr: i removed 1024x768 and replaced it with 1280x1024, and i increased the refreshrates. Then it went to 800x600, any more idea?
[10:27] <eitan> ugh....
[10:27] <techfun> tabman: what the hell are you talking about?
[10:27] <eitan> I feel like I've screwed my computer...
[10:27] <techfun> tabman: windows doesnt change partition sizes
[10:27] <kitche> mztriz: some devices are called eth1 I know in Ubuntu they tend ot be ethx instead of wlan0
[10:27] <kestaz> how to make shell look like "%" ?
[10:27] <adaptr> xnor: what did you do besides that ? did you restart X in between ?
[10:28] <eitan> How do I get the shared folder settings to go back to the way they were...? How do i get the shared folder settings to ask me whether I want samba or nfs or both?
[10:28] <kitche> kestaz: that is the zsh shell you mena somehting like user@host% right?
[10:28] <adaptr> kestaz: log in as root
[10:28] <bright_fame> neildarlow: hmm, seems to work fine as a three button wheel mouse (including scrolling) everywhere else, but will check
[10:28] <xnor> adaptr: i rebooted
[10:28] <PinkyLinux> did i need to install an extra package to have the modprove  command working?
[10:28] <adaptr> xnor: please don;t ever do that again!
[10:28] <neildarlow> mztriz: just do "iwconfig" and see which interface has wireless information
[10:28] <nikin> xnor: run 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' but be carefull
[10:28] <techfun> eitan: well?
[10:28] <bright_fame> burepe: i don;t know mouse gestures sorry, this kind of thing i would keep activating accidentally :P
[10:28] <burepe> eitan: I am sorry if you feel bad. That happens to me every day. Your computer is ok. we just gotta figureit out
[10:28] <eitan> techfun: well the thing you sent me does not help.
[10:28] <adaptr> xnor: if you need to restart the X server (to re-read xorg.conf) just hit CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE
[10:29] <bright_fame> Pinky: it's modprobe
[10:29] <adaptr> nikin: that won't hardly get him higher resolutions than he already has
[10:29] <burepe> bright_fame: I love it. makes everything so easy
[10:29] <g333k_work> how can I get a pkg from ubuntu to install in another pc that doesnt has internet connection?
[10:29] <tabman> techfun: lets say when you install windows its folder size would be around 2 GB but with time it reaches around 5 GB as is the case with me right now, I'm on windows
[10:29] <LoRez> what would be causing a difference in alt-key combination handling between dapper and edgy in xterm and gnome-terminal?
[10:29] <techfun> eitan: weird, its exactly what dozens of people i support used
[10:29] <burepe> bright_fame: kinda like having a wii computer
[10:29] <techfun> ahhh
[10:29] <mztriz> neildarlow, okay
[10:29] <eitan> I want the shared folder settings to give me the choice between samba and nfs... instead it only gives me nfs... it doesn't check to see what's installed... it just dumb lists nfs because I originally said nfs... it doesn't give me a chocie to install samba either.
[10:29] <whileimhere> Is there a way to watch my DVDs on my computer with linux?
[10:29] <adaptr> tabman: that's because WIndows caches a lot of stuff in \system32
[10:29] <techfun> tabman: ok  i thought you meant partitions
[10:29] <adaptr> tabman: but OT, very much so
[10:30] <aN1> tabman, wut u talking about?
[10:30] <techfun> tabman: windows grows that way becuase of SPs and hotfixes etc....
[10:30] <neildarlow> bright_fame: middle click for paste doesn't work for me either
[10:30] <PinkyLinux> bright_fame, : http://www.europanet.com.br/euro2003/?cat_id=872  mmm this tuturial was not well made then:P lolo
[10:30] <techfun> tabman: and no, linux doesnt do that to that degree
[10:30] <PinkyLinux> thanks
[10:30] <eitan> that's because I'm not looking how to share PER-SE right now... I am looking to get the shared folder settings to work under gnome...
[10:30] <kitche> !dvd|whileimhere
[10:30] <ubotu> whileimhere: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss" can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages
[10:30] <Brillant> are there any girl??
[10:30] <Brillant> woman
[10:30] <adaptr> whahahahaha
[10:30] <jcruzlara> ok google isn't helping on this one make: *** No targets.  Stop.
[10:30] <adaptr> sure, I'm a grl
[10:30] <PinkyLinux> me
[10:30] <PinkyLinux> :P
[10:30] <PinkyLinux> why
[10:31] <seanj> for some reason that question makes me mad
[10:31] <burepe> me too. girl here
[10:31] <eitan> I don't want to do a terminal window adventure... i just want to get the ubuntu gnome shared folder settings to give me the choice of samba... that's all.
[10:31] <cafuego_> Brillant: Why?
[10:31] <Peebo> eitan: What's your issue
[10:31] <techfun> eitan:  not gonna happen
[10:31] <Brillant> can i talk with u private??
[10:31] <eitan> read my last statement
[10:31] <Seta-San> i think he thinks linux is something that 35 year old guys who can't get laid use
[10:31] <adaptr> s/he's looking to get hisself kicked
[10:31] <eitan> why not?
[10:31] <pike_> g333k_work: there are specific ways but if you are trying to move from another ubuntu machine it might be archived in /var/cache/apt/archives
[10:31] <techfun> eitan: ubuntuguides are always the EASY way of doing something
[10:31] <mztriz> neildarlow, eth0 is the one that has the AP
[10:31] <tabman> techfun: thats why linux is the best :)
[10:31] <eitan> easy?  I don't think so.
[10:31] <cafuego_> Brillant: This is a support channel, not a nightclub.
[10:31] <seanj> I had to setup Samba manually, and needed a root password for SWAT
[10:31] <techfun> tabman: yup yup
[10:31] <Brillant> i can find u...haha
[10:32] <techfun> eitan: copy and paste
[10:32] <techfun> how much easier cna it be?
[10:32] <jcruzlara> anyone?
[10:32] <Brillant> write sth to me
[10:32] <adaptr> Brillant: and I can *kill* you... with the power of my mind... the power of Tux, the wonderpoodle
[10:33] <aN1> nick penguine0nmeth
[10:34] <burepe> Peebo he is setting up a network with nfs. But he seemed to be going about it a harder way. I told him I have done it and it is easy but I only have done it with smb. But apparently he can't choose smb in the shared folder settings because when he was setting it up he chose nfs in the beginnng. so he wants to reset it so he can work with smb
[10:34] <tabman> techfun: there are a couple of things which stop me from fully migrating to linux, voice chat through google talk, testing website for IE, DAP the download accelerator, my own Encarta World English Dictionary
[10:34] <diskus> burepe: smb and nfs are different things as far as I know
[10:35] <pike_> eitan: you could do rm -fr ~/.g* then hit alt-ctrl-backspace that will remove all your config files and when you log backin it will create new default ones
[10:35] <burepe> techfun: the comp eitan is setting up is in another room that is why he doesn't want to write down commands and run back and fourth
[10:35] <techfun> tabman: ie4linux, wine, and slype
[10:35] <mztriz> neildarlow, eth0 is the one that has the AP
[10:35] <neildarlow> mztriz: do you really have all those adapters listed in /etc/network/interfaces?
[10:35] <mztriz> neildarlow,  yeah.
[10:35] <Brillant> what do u  interesting talk??
[10:35] <techfun> burepe:  thats why we suggested ssh -  one command :)
[10:35] <PinkyLinux> when i try to make "cat /dev/video" it says: cat /dev/video "no more free space in the device"  (-> portuguise translated:P)  what could it be?
[10:35] <aN1> techfun is slype kinda like skype?
[10:35] <techfun> sudo apt-get install openssh-server
[10:35] <techfun> yes  eaxactly like skype for people who type poorly
[10:35] <seanj> Yes I think it was meant to be Skype
[10:36] <tabman> techfun: wine would run most of my windows software ?
[10:36] <mztriz> neildarlow, I've never had a problem with my internet, it was only after I did these tweaks http://tvease.net/wiki/index.php?title=Tweak_ubuntu_for_speed
[10:36] <burepe> diskus: yeah that is the problem.  I don't think eitan follows cause he didn't say anything about it.
[10:36] <mztriz> but i undid them all
[10:36] <techfun> tabman: most yes
[10:36] <tabman> techfun: I can't do skype when the other person is on google talk
[10:36] <neildarlow> mztriz: does "route -n" show the default route being associated with eth0?
[10:36] <Brillant> shit
[10:36] <techfun> tab, true so make them use skype too :)
[10:36] <burepe> gizmo and google talk are both open federation
[10:36] <Brillant> looser
[10:37] <seanj> can we get rid of Brillant's idiocy now?
[10:37] <svish> how can I find out if I have ATI Mobility Radeon 9600 or 9700?
[10:37] <mnoir> neildarlow: TIAS
[10:37] <techfun> and tabman,  check out http://appdb.winehq.org/ for wine compatibily issues
[10:37] <burepe> brillant that is no way to talk to a lady
[10:37] <seanj> lol
[10:37] <Brillant> it was joke
[10:37] <Brillant> sorry
[10:37] <eitan> look... I set up samba and nfs on the ubuntu computer.... it is NOT giving me the choice of samba in the shared folder settings window!
[10:37] <eitan> ... it still says NFS only... that's what I've been trying to tell you?
[10:38] <eitan> .
[10:38] <pike_> svish: lspci -v | grep -4 ATI or just lspci -v
[10:38] <linpp_> hello, i get this error when trying to run synergy, 'synergys: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory', i have gcc, libc6 and libgcc1 packages, latest version,  what should i do?
[10:38] <PinkyLinux> anyone up to gimme a littl help? tutorials and how to's didnt helped much....
[10:38] <burepe> eitan: we understand.
[10:38] <eitan> Finally!
[10:38] <mztriz> neildarlow, it says use iFace 0 vmnet1, 0 vmnet8, 0 eth0, and 0 eth0 again.
[10:38] <Brillant> nfs??
[10:38] <seanj> nfs = Networked File System
[10:38] <techfun> PinkyLinux: help with?
[10:38] <pike_> svish: not sure about the ATI never had one so i dont know how it will show up
[10:38] <Brillant> acha
[10:38] <mnoir> PinkyLinux: not if you don't ask a real question
[10:38] <Brillant> thanks
[10:38] <burepe> eitan we understood from the beginning. we are trying to help don't get angry with us
[10:38] <seanj> np lol
[10:38] <eitan> What is stupid is that it only gives you a choice once and never again... so if you screw up with the answer you are screwed forever.
[10:38] <Brillant> i'm new in chat
[10:38] <eitan> I'm not angry... I'm frustrated.
[10:38] <neildarlow> mztriz: it's probably those net.ipv4 sysctls that are screwing things
[10:39] <Brillant> i don't know some things
[10:39] <pike_> eitan: you could do rm -fr ~/.g* then hit alt-ctrl-backspace that will remove all your config files
[10:39] <PinkyLinux> Techfun:  cat /dev/video "no more free space in the device"
[10:39] <mztriz> neildarlow, i deleted them
[10:39] <burepe> eitan is that computer connected to the internet?
[10:39] <seanj> Brillant: this is a support channel for Ubuntu... for questions about Ubuntu GNU/Linux computer operating system... not "general" chat
[10:39] <eitan> ok... sounds good... let me do that
[10:39] <eitan> yes
[10:39] <adaptr> Brillant: the best thing you can do, then, is to just read along for a bit, see if you can follow along at some point
[10:39] <svish> pike_: hm.. it says ATI Tecnologies Inc Radeon R250 Lf [FireGL 9000]  (rev 01)... ??
[10:39] <bright_fame> PinkyLinux: which webcam do you have?
[10:39] <danny500> ok I fixed it.
[10:39] <Hexan> Brillant 'acha' ?? :o
[10:39] <PinkyLinux> Logitech
[10:39] <danny500> alls good
[10:39] <Hexan> :D
[10:39] <techfun> danny500:  coolio
[10:39] <danny500> I still have one prob though
[10:39] <burepe> eitan can you user irc on that computer? or are you on it now?
[10:39] <Brillant> acha....
[10:40] <Brillant> what acha??
[10:40] <techfun> you are 500 and need a cane?
[10:40] <linpp_> hello, i get this error when trying to run synergy, 'synergys: error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++-libc6.2-2.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory', i have gcc, libc6 and libgcc1 packages, latest version, i don't think it's a synergy problem, any ideas?
[10:40] <Senesence> How can I set the default window size for Xterm?
[10:40] <Hexan> why don't you go to #ubuntu-pl, Brillant? ;)
[10:40] <bright_fame> Pinky: chat? fusion?
[10:40] <danny500> I'm doing training to become a Web CEO right now and I need to watch a training video but my sound card won't work right now.
[10:40] <PinkyLinux> Loguuitech Quickcam messenger i think
[10:40] <techfun> flash video?
[10:40] <neildarlow> mztriz: i would undo all those tweaks and see if you can get your system right again then apply them incrementally to see which breaks things
[10:40] <Brillant> what for??
[10:40] <adaptr> video training to "become" a CEO ? wehehe
[10:41] <danny500> I've done everything, I reinstalled all the ALSA crap and rebooted but still nothing
[10:41] <douglas> My wireless keeps going from like 70/100 to like 13/100..
[10:41] <douglas> Is there any glitches in the wifi software that'd do i
[10:41] <douglas> it
[10:41] <Hexan> Brillant: that is a better place to use 'acha' ;)
[10:41] <douglas> whhen i boot into winblows don't have the problem
[10:41] <adaptr> no offense, but to become a CEO you'll need great ideas, a lot of luck, and huge balls.. training video's aren't in there
[10:41] <bright_fame> Pinky: i set up my logitech using the spca driver a while back, not sure i can remember what i did though :( it's a 'quickcam go'
[10:42] <mztriz> neildarlow, I undid all of them but the first one, which I'm not exactly sure how to  undo
[10:42] <danny500> It's a huge course I'm taking and it has some video's in it
[10:42] <Senesence> Any support people around?
[10:42] <Brillant> ok how can u know the acha is pl...world
[10:42] <Brillant> ??
[10:42] <neildarlow> Senesence: 1002 of them :)
[10:42] <burepe> ha
[10:42] <Senesence> How can I set the default window size for Xterm?
[10:42] <Brillant> it's doesn't matter
[10:42] <Hexan> Brillant: how couldn't i? ;) check my whois ;)
[10:42] <PinkyLinux> bright_fame, : ill try to install them now then
[10:42] <adaptr> Senesence: just xterm ? or one of the better ones ?
[10:43] <danny500> go to http://www.webceo.com/ to see what I'm training to be.
[10:43] <Senesence> adaptr: Just the regular GNOME terminal
[10:43] <adaptr> Senesence: that's called "gnome-terminal" or some such
[10:43] <danny500> but besides that how can I get my sound card working?
[10:43] <adaptr> Senesence: by default size do you mean actual window size, or size in characters ?
[10:43] <danny500> it's an ES1371
[10:43] <Senesence> adaptr: Actual window size
[10:44] <alessandro> anyone using edgy with xen?
[10:44] <alessandro> and having an eth0?
[10:44] <alessandro> eth1
[10:44] <adaptr> Senesence: default character size is settable, as is font size - those two combined make up the window size :)
[10:44] <MegaTrousers> Can anyone help me with gnome-screensaver? Hardware acceleration seems to work fine in everything. fgl_gears works fine and fglrxinfo reports the correct ATI driver is working. The gnome-screensavers are very slow and choppy and I don't know why. There is no reason for this since I am using an ATI x1600 card with fast cpu and lots of RAM. I get the feeling that it is using software based rendering, like Mesa, for the screensavers. Run
[10:44] <Kemical> can anyone help me with a problem im having with my gfx card in ubuntu?
[10:44] <danny500> it was working but then one day ubuntu decided to stop using it
[10:44] <jvai> is xen in the dapper repos?
[10:44] <danny500> Kemical what type of gfx card you have?
[10:44] <burepe> How can I check my mysql version?
[10:45] <Senesence> adaptr: What do I need to do in order to have the default terminal size 80x80?
[10:45] <nikin> there is no way to mount 2 partitions to the same dir? so that if i copy something in that dir it goes on both drives?
[10:45] <adaptr> Senesence: have you looked at al the options ?
[10:45] <Kemical> ATI Radeon 9600... I've installed the drivers and it seems to be working fine except glxgears gives out about 300fps
[10:45] <Brillant> elo
[10:45] <Brillant> elo
[10:45] <danny500> why do you need 300fps?
[10:45] <Senesence> adaptr: For what command, it's nothing I can find in the regular settings
[10:45] <aN1> danny500,  glx should give out like 1000fps alteast
[10:45] <danny500> thats fast enough for anything
[10:46] <aoupi> nikin: no, once you mount the second partition the first one hides untill the second is unmounted
[10:46] <neildarlow> nikin: no
[10:46] <Kemical> in the ubuntuforums people say that when they run glxgears they get about 6000fps with my gfx card, whilst i only get 300
[10:46] <danny500> yeah and what are you going to do with 100fps you can't even see that
[10:46] <Peebo> burepe: should be something simple like mysql -v or -V
[10:46] <danny500> 1000fps*
[10:46] <burepe> peebo thanks
[10:46] <MegaTrousers> How can you tell the fps with glxgears?
[10:46] <adaptr> Senesence: you're right - it can't, one other reason why I don't use it; I prefer Konsole or aterm/eterm
[10:46] <honix> hi!! please help me, im installed a new dvdwriter but it doesnt read blank dvds
[10:46] <_zil> hi all
[10:46] <danny500> movies run at 30FPS
[10:46] <neildarlow> MegaTrousers: glxgears -printfps
[10:46] <Hexan> MegaTrousers: improper drivers are to blame. i've got nvidia, so i won't advice you anything, but all this is rather simple
[10:46] <nikin> i want a RAID like system but distributed to some servers over the internet with sshfs
[10:47] <black_13> does the ubuntu install cd contain the ndis loader?
[10:47] <nikin> so i have to find some other way to do it
[10:47] <danny500> and high end games run at 300FPS
[10:47] <danny500> I mean 60FPS
[10:47] <Peebo> danny500: movies run at 25 pfs
[10:47] <Senesence> adaptr: Is there any way to maybe mod the .config file for xterm? I can't seem to find the config file, any idea where it could be?
[10:47] <_zil> damn kickass action in here :)
