[18:51] <Pici> sqawerl1: You should be installing packages from the package repositories, there is no need to use 3rd party files.

[18:52] <amanulla> Pici:i mean im using gdm now im interested to see how kdm will be
[18:52] <CSWookie> Anyone have problems getting flash to work under Firefox 3?

[18:52] <gary_inNYC> !wifi
[18:52] <morth_> mxiaa im thinking it must have been another issue because id say over 50% of users use compiz fusion
[18:52] <amanulla> Pici:but may be as i closed and opened many times during installed it havnt installed correctly
[18:52] <CSWookie> lea: He.
[18:52] <amanulla> can i check its ststus?
[18:52] <CSWookie> lea: Hi, rather.
[18:53] <amanulla> ststus
[18:53] <amanulla> sorry status
[18:53] <crushy> rahduke: check what is your hard disk partition using fdisk sda
[18:53] <unop> go_beep_yourself, depends on the filesystem on the device you want to mount.
[18:53] <mxiia> crushy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/55735/
[18:53] <unop> go_beep_yourself, what filesystem is it?
[18:53] <Pici> amanulla: dpkg -l kdm
[18:53] <go_beep_yourself> unop-> ntfs and ext3
[18:53] <morth_> now mxiia im not saying you're wrong but i wanna know why and how?
[18:54] <drichert> I'm trying to set up SMDI transfers to an E-Mu ESI4000 sampler on UbuntuStudio 8.04 via SMDITools ( http://nolv.free.fr/SMDITools/ ).  OpenSMDI looks for SCSI devices at /dev/sg[a-n] so a symlink is needed if the devices aren't listed that way.  The problem is that I can't find the device listing for sampler at all.  lsscsi doesn't show a device file for the sampler.  Any ideas?
[18:54] <comicinker> hi! if I want to install ubuntu-laptop-mode, it wants to remove acpi-suppert and power-management-interface. I have a laptop, but I thought acpi-support is essential for power saving. what advantage do I have with ubuntu-laptop-mode?
[18:54] <unop> go_beep_yourself, it would be best if you assigned permissions on the mount point then
[18:55] <unop> go_beep_yourself, but be careful doing so
[18:55] <go_beep_yourself> unop-> i want it temporary
[18:55] <mxiia> morth_  I don't know why, how: i could not right click and my drivers had to be reinstalled, my friend's laptop started making noises
[18:55] <indian_munnda> can anyone tell me that can i schedule system shutdown time??????
[18:55] <go_beep_yourself> indian_munnda-> cron
[18:55] <f|uke> I can tell you that you can, but I can't tell you how
[18:55] <gary_inNYC> i read the documentation from that website, and in editing the wpa_supplicant.conf file it's blank
[18:56] <indian_munnda> !cron
[18:56] <Krumar_> Hey, i'm working on a document in Writer, I would like to include a side bar with text in the document like is seen in magazine articles, but i can't find any information about them, i've been searching call out and side bar, but i don't  think they are the right terms for what i want, can anyone help me get going again?
[18:56] <indian_munnda> go_beep_yourself: thanks
[18:56] <mxiia> !nvidia
[18:56] <_Enchained> hi all
[18:57] <_Enchained> Who knows wich package contains screenshot plugin for compiz ?
[18:57] <magnetron> Krumar_, for Desktop publishing tasks like that, i'd recommend using a dedicated DTP software, like Scribus.
[18:57] <mssever> How do I restart pulseaudio? I accidentally killed it, and now I can't restart it. Furthermore, it's completely undocumented
[18:57] <amanulla> pici :see this "http://paste.ubuntu.com/55737/"  does it mean it is installed successfully
[18:57] <idown> /msg ubottu etiquette
[18:57] <gary_inNYC> i don't have a wpa_supplicant.conf file to edit... this is a fresh hardy install with all the updates.
[18:57] <idown> ope
[18:57] <Pici> amanulla: yes.
[18:58] <Krumar_> magnetron, thanks for the suggestion, do you happen to know what the technical name of what i want to do is so i can research it?
[18:58] <magnetron> Krumar_, no
[18:58] <Pici> amanulla: You do know that you don't need to use KDM to access KDE, right?
[18:58] <mxiia> crushy, the topic you gave me didn't help
[18:58] <Pici> amanulla: GDM will load KDE just fine.
[18:58] <Krumar_> magnetron, thanks anyway, i'll give Scribus a shot now
[18:58] <fearbefore> hello
[18:58] <gary_inNYC> i have wpasupplicant installed as part of the clean install, but the conf file is absent.  so that link you sent me was not helpful
[18:58] <mssever> !hi | fearbefore
[18:59] <mxiia> !hi | MXIIA
[18:59] <amanulla> no
[18:59] <amanulla> i cant get what you said
[18:59] <amanulla> Pici:whats diffence between kdm,kde
[18:59] <thiebaude> !kdm
[18:59] <lat> I did this: http://www.sizlopedia.com/2008/04/16/how-to-login-to-ubuntu-as-root-user/ and now my log in is messed up. How can I fix it?
[18:59] <_Zeus_> amanulla: kdm is the KDE login manager
[18:59] <thiebaude> !kde
[19:00] <Pici> amanulla: KDM is a login manager, KDE is what shows up after you login.
[19:00] <amanulla> ok
[19:00] <mssever> How do I restart pulseaudio? I accidentally killed it, and now I can't restart it. Furthermore, it's completely undocumented
[19:00] <thiebaude> kde sits on top of x
[19:00] <amanulla> Pici:i think i need kde
[19:00] <amanulla> yes?
[19:00] <gary_inNYC> can someone give me some constructive directions as to connectingto wpa psk w/out sending me the same link that didn't help?
[19:00] <mxiia> Radeon X1200 VGA driver if that helps.
[19:00] <indian_munnda> go_beep_yourself: i think cron is controlled by CLI, is there any GUI software application for it?????
[19:00] <Pici> amanulla: Did you install kubuntu-desktop ?
[19:00] <lea> hola
[19:01] <Pici> whois lea
[19:01] <lea> yes
[19:01] <who__> who@VAIO:~$ amarok_libvisual projectm_
[19:01] <who__> [Amk] Connecting to: projectm_
[19:01] <who__> [Amk] Could not connect
[19:01] <amanulla> what i need is just another session rather than gnome to taste
[19:01] <amanulla> Pici:yes i installed it but its not working
[19:01] <gary_inNYC> i'm up to the point where i have to configure wpasupplicant, but the conf file doesn't even exist
[19:01] <thiebaude> !fluxbox
[19:01] <amanulla> Pici:may be while installation as i terminated process many times it was not installed properly
[19:02] <_Enchained> amanulla: so just install kde or kde4
[19:02] <indian_munnda> Is there any GUI software application for schedulling system shutdown time?????
[19:02] <Pici> amanulla: after you logout, go to the 'sessions' button and change it to KDE.
[19:02] <mssever> gary_inNYC:  Maybe I'm missing something, but you shouldn't have to touch wpasupplicant
[19:02] <_Enchained> and you'll be able to try gnome, kde etc withour switching to
[19:02] <_Enchained> without*
[19:02] <Pici> indian_munnda: look in the repositories for cron , there are a few guis available.
[19:02] <gary_inNYC> mssever: ok what do i have to do?  it's a wpa psk tkip connection i just set up
[19:03] <amanulla> Pici:yes previously i have done the same but i cant find login but just a single cursor blinking
[19:03] <gary_inNYC> i can see the ssid broadcast, but when i join, there is no wpa option in the gui to join up
[19:03] <mssever> gary_inNYC: nm-applet has always handled everything for me just fine.
[19:03] <public_yukama> is it possible that you can resend the password becoz i forgot the password of my account
[19:03] <public_yukama> i mean irc
[19:04] <DigitalFiz> im in ubuntu 8.04 with gnome if i install kubuntu-desktop will it remove gnome? or can i switch back and forth? I want to try kubuntu but id rather not reload my machine to try it out because i have a lot of tweaks on my system
[19:04] <Pici> public_yukama: Ask in #freenode, we do not control this network.
[19:04] <mssever> DigitalFiz: No problems installing kubuntu-desktop
[19:04] <Pici> amanulla: Why did you stop the install of kubuntu-desktop?
[19:04] <amanulla> Pici:for that only last time i asked you to how to get back my display to gde as kde was not working properly
[19:05] <gary_inNYC> mssever: i set my connection to require a wpa psk tkip key, i see no option thru the applet
[19:05] <gary_inNYC> thru wireless security, wpa isn't even in the dropdown
[19:06] <amanulla> Pici:as it is 70 mb it takes for me around 1 and half hour so as i asked in this channel some one said that you can exit from terminal using ctrl+d and can continue your installation after a reboot too
[19:06] <piranesi> I am searching for a software that draws nyquist diagrams (bode diagrams too if possible)... is there anything?
[19:06] <amanulla> Pici:wont it sounds better?
[19:06] <Pici> amanulla: Did you exit during the download or during the install portion?
[19:06] <comicinker> hi! if I want to install ubuntu-laptop-mode, it wants to remove acpi-suppert and power-management-interface. I have a laptop, but I thought acpi-support is essential for power saving. what advantage do I have with ubuntu-laptop-mode?
[19:06] <mssever> gary_inNYC: It doesn't automatically detect the right thing to do? In that case, I don't know how to help, since nm-applet always autodetects the correct security settings for me
[19:06] <thiebaude> amanulla:did you cancel the download?
[19:06] <thiebaude> did
[19:07] <mssever> How do I restart pulseaudio? I accidentally killed it, and now I can't restart it. Furthermore, it's completely undocumented
[19:07] <amanulla> Pici:i typed to install directly sudo apt-get install k-desktop i think
[19:07] <amanulla> yes i stopped this p[rocess
[19:07] <amanulla> and continued it after a reboot
[19:07] <Pici> amanulla: But what part of the process did you stop? Was it downloading or was it installing?
[19:07] <amanulla> thiebaude:yes
[19:07] <mib_zqk8n5yc> how do i mount a iso file
[19:07] <thiebaude> ok, amanulla
[19:08] <gavi> hey folks, my desktop resolution isnt going higher than 640*480. i tried deleting the xorg.conf file i tried using differnt backups of the xorg.conf file, ive tried with the restricted driver and without the restricted driver, i also tried the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg from the terminal, and i tried gnome session logings, i fail, any suggestions?
[19:08] <DigitalFiz> mssever, so when i install kubuntu-desktop will it auto switch to kde?
[19:08] <mssever> gary_inNYC: If you have SSID broadcast disabled, that can complicate things sometimes, and disabling SSID broadcast provides absolutely no additional security
[19:08] <mib_zqk8n5yc> how do i mount a iso file....
[19:08] <gary_inNYC> mssever: it's enabled
[19:08] <Pici> !iso > mib_zqk8n5yc
[19:08] <mssever> DigitalFiz: You'll get the choice when you login
[19:08] <indian_munnda> Pici: can u tell what should be the command in crontab if i want my computer to be shutdown after 1 hour?????
[19:08] <linduxed> got meself a new laptop from acer, but its packed with you-know-what ******* system and most likely some "rescue"-partitions. now i want to get rid of the lot but for warranty and that kind of stuff i want to make an image of the drive...and i mean all the way down to the partition table, any app to do this?
[19:08] <DigitalFiz> mssever, awesome
[19:08] <gary_inNYC> mssever: ssid broadcast is enabled, i set up WPA PSK- TKIP
[19:09] <mib_zqk8n5yc> thanks
[19:09] <mssever> gary_inNYC: Hmm... In that case, I don't know how to help you. Sorry.
[19:09] <amanulla> Pici:i wont go under 2 sessions 1.downloading 2.installing i just type this command in terminal to get any package sudo apt-get install <package>
[19:09] <gary_inNYC> mssever: my problem is that the nmapplet doesn't seem to to have compatibility with WPA at all
[19:09] <Pici> indian_munnda: If you only want to do this once, use 'at', 'man at' to see the options.
[19:09] <gavi> hey folks, my desktop resolution isnt going higher than 640*480. any usggestions please?
[19:09] <mssever> gary_inNYC: I use WPA with nm-applet
[19:10] <gary_inNYC> mssever: do you have a dropdown for wpa in the wireless security dropdown?
[19:10] <Pici> amanulla: I don't know then.  Maybe #kubuntu can help you get kde to work.
[19:10] <ubersmith> hi..i need help making to work the bcm4310 wireless card in my Dell laptop.
[19:10] <thiebaude> gavi:did you open screen resolution?
[19:10] <amanulla> Pici:frankly i dont know difference between downloading and installing
[19:10] <amanulla> i just type sudo apt-get install for asny package
[19:10] <amanulla> during this process only i stopped it
[19:10] <DigitalFiz> wow kubuntu-desktop is 603mb lol
[19:10] <thiebaude> did
[19:10] <spiritssight> If you was to either buy or build a computer what would you buy? NOT looking for looks just ability to use system to fullest, maybe some video / audio editing type system
[19:11] <gavi> thiebaude, yes i have
[19:11] <amanulla> Pici:does sudo apt-get install <pkg> will install a pkg directly without downloading?
[19:11] <infernal> can some one help me..............when ma linux is booting........it hangs while booting.......and the last message is 'Creating Device nodes.
[19:11] <mssever> gary_inNYC: I don't know, as I presumably can't get that dropdown without reconfiguring my network....
[19:11] <mib_zqk8n5yc> so if my file name is puppy-4.1-k<IP_ADDRESS>-seamonkey.iso what do i type into the terminal
[19:11] <Pici> amanulla: No.  That will download first, then install.
[19:11] <Pici> amanulla: Its a two step process.
[19:11] <amanulla> Pici:if we stop this process wont the pkg work?
[19:11] <mssever> gary_inNYC: I just told nm-applet to connect to my network, and it prompted me for my key
[19:11] <thiebaude> gavi:did you goto screens and graphics?
[19:11] <thiebaude> did
[19:11] <mssever> gary_inNYC: Then I was in.
[19:11] <Pici> amanulla: If you stop it during the first (download
[19:11] <mib_zqk8n5yc> 	so if my file name is puppy-4.1-k<IP_ADDRESS>-seamonkey.iso what do i type into the terminal
[19:12] <gary_inNYC> mssever: all i see available is wep or leap... but my wireless router is set for wpa psk tkip
[19:12] <Pici> amanulla: If you stop it during the first (download) process, then its fine. Otherwise, you're not.
[19:12] <infernal> can some one help me..............when ma linux is booting........it hangs while booting.......and the last message is 'Creating Device nodes.
[19:12] <morth_> lmao my Compiz only has 2 sides how do i make it the cube
[19:12] <indian_munnda> what is the command to shutdown the computer
[19:12] <gavi> thiebaude, i dont seem to have that setting
[19:12] <thiebaude> gavi:edit your menu up top and add screens and graphics
[19:12] <gavi> thiebaude, ok just a sec
[19:13] <amanulla> Pici:you mean its a intenalyy 2 way process
[19:13] <amanulla> Pici:yes i stopped only during downloading
[19:13] <amanulla> Pici:but not during  packages to install
[19:13] <thiebaude> gavi:right click
[19:13] <amanulla> because i always had a habit of obseving terminal during installation
[19:13] <mssever> gary_inNYC: I'm checking... one minuts
[19:13] <gavi> thiebaude, i know, its hard to use because the resolution is to small
[19:13] <gavi> thiebaude, can i open it with terminal?
[19:13] <amanulla> Pici:ya im sure i havnt stopped during installing
[19:14] <amanulla> Pici:any how can i reinstall the same?
[19:14] <gary_inNYC> mssever: it also asks me for the passphrase, but the problem is it asks me for either wep or leap when it's neither
[19:14] <infernal> can some one help me..............when ma linux is booting........it hangs while booting.......and the last message is 'Creating Device nodes.
[19:14] <amanulla> by uninstalling?
[19:14] <mssever> gary_inNYC: I'm note sure how my router's settings differ, but my router is set to WPA2 Personal using AES.
[19:15] <theneb> Hi all,

[19:15] <kansan> how can i browse what amazon aws s3 buckets i have, and retrieve them from the command line (debian etch)
[19:15] <theneb> How can I deactive monitor power save via ssh?
[19:15] <gavi> thiebaude, sudo?
[19:15] <mssever> gary_inNYC: Are you trying to use the network connection tool? Last I tried (a number of versions ago) it didn't support WPA
[19:15] <thiebaude> gavi:no
[19:15] <mxiia> You are all no help....................................
[19:15] <mssever> gary_inNYC: But the tray icon provided by nm-applet handles my settings
[19:15] <indian_munnda> Pici: can u tell me the command to shutdown the computer???? I only know init 0 but it needs super user privilieges.
[19:15] <thiebaude> gavi:type your desired resolution and refresh rate
[19:15] <gary_inNYC> mssever: im using the tray icon as well
[19:16] <gavi> thiebaude, it lists different options, do i need to logout and relogin
[19:16] <Pici> amanulla: sudo apt-get install --reinstall kubuntu-desktop
[19:16] <mssever> indian_munnda: sudo poweroff
[19:16] <mssever> indian_munnda: or sudo reboot

[19:16] <amanulla> Pici:ok
[19:16] <amanulla> i will try
[19:16] <amanulla> the same
[19:16] <indian_munnda> mssever: if i use it in "at" will it ask for the password?
[19:16] <gavi> shall i reboot now?
[19:17] <thiebaude> gavi:xrandr will list different resolutions
[19:17] <mssever> indian_munnda: I don't know what you mean by "at". sudo will prompt for a password if it needs to
[19:17] <gavi> thiebaude, it doesnt list any higer than 640*480
[19:17] <mssever> gary_inNYC: I'm mystified...
[19:17] <gavi> with a 51.0 max refresh
[19:18] <thiebaude> hmm,gavi

[19:18] <thiebaude> gavi:i don't know what else to say
[19:18] <mssever> indian_munnda: through cron? If it's root's cron, just drop the sudo
[19:19] <mssever> indian_munnda: if it's a normal user's cron, configure sudoers to not require a password for that situation
[19:19] <thiebaude> gavi:what graphics card do you have?
[19:19] <indian_munnda> mssever: sorry but i didn't get u right.
[19:19] <mssever> indian_munnda: ??
[19:20] <indian_munnda> mssever: i have cron installed on my system but i don't know to use it
[19:20] <mssever> !cron | indian_munnda
[19:20] <gary_inNYC> mssever: oddly enough, now that i'm doing manual configuration, low and behold there is the option to set up a WPA connection
[19:20] <mssever> indian_munnda: see the message from ubottu

But the second screen is not even detected, xrandr only shows the internal display. Do I have to configure somethin?

[19:30] <Prose> hey, not getting it here: what format should I convert an .avi to get it to play on a 'regular' DVD Player ?
[19:30] <gavi> thiebaude sowwy, i jumped on to my windows pc soo i can do this easier
[19:30] <gavi> eww i said windows
[19:31] <Anastasia> Anyone know how to configure xorg with dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg being broken by missing the battery module (which I have NO need for)?  T*M*IA
[19:31] <Slart> mssever, Mr_Fixit: isn't it sudo shutdown -h +60 to shutdown after an hour?.. not sure if the + is necessary though
[19:31] <thiebaude> gavi:are you able to see your menu on top of the desktop?
[19:31] <Mr_Fixit> Slart, i want to restart it though
[19:31] <mssever> Slart: You might be right. It's been many years since I've used the shutdown command
[19:31] <Anastasia> shutdown -r now ?!?
[19:31] <deathtech> Heya fellas and ladies
[19:31] <Slart> mssever, Mr_Fixit: either you put an absolute time there.. shutdown -r 14:30, or put a number of minutes with a plus sign.. shutdown -r +45
[19:32] <deathtech> was wondering, i would like to use a text mode browser within putty that also allows images to get to my ubuntu system, does anyone know if this is possible ?
[19:32] <mssever> Slart: I normally use the poweroff and reboot commands which take effect immediately
[19:32] <Slart> Mr_Fixit: -h is halt, -r is reboot.
[19:32] <Mr_Fixit> thanks Slart
[19:32] <morth_> my Compiz is only showing 2 windows instead of a cube how do i add the 2 other windows for the cube?
[19:32] <Slart> mssever: oh.. never used those..didn't even know those existed =)
[19:32] <nicholas__> ds
[19:32] <hellues> hey
[19:33] <Mr_Fixit> morth_, right click on the windows in the bottom right and go preferencec
[19:33] <Mr_Fixit> *s
[19:33] <nicholas__> hoi
[19:33] <mssever> morth_: install compizconfig-settings-manager
[19:33] <hellues> i cant change my keyboard layout
[19:33] <ubi-laptop> prose: I use mencoder
[19:33] <Mr_Fixit> morth_, set it to 4 instead of 2
[19:33] <nicholas__> ciao
[19:33] <Prose> ubi-laptop: and you convert avi to mpeg2 ?
[19:33] <mssever> deathtech: I don't think that's possible
[19:33] <hellues> hey
[19:33] <nicholas__> ciao
[19:33] <hellues> i cant set my keyboard layout
[19:33] <lackingfiness> im having some problems with the repos... something about rename failed and it can't find such and such directory
[19:33] <Slart> deathtech: I'm not sure if there is some kind of framebuffer browser out there.. I don't think framebuffer will work with putty though since it's text only
[19:33] <nicholas__> no proble,
[19:34] <hellues> i change my keyboard layout but that is useless
[19:34] <deathtech> mssever : that sucks, would be cool if i could use framebuffer or something to that effect so i could accomplish that :p
[19:34] <lackingfiness> is this happening for anyone else?
[19:34] <nicholas__> no
[19:34] <CVirus> How can I check for "up" network interfaces ?
[19:34] <soundray> hellues: how are you changing it?
[19:34] <Slart> CVirus: you  can look at the output from ifconfig
[19:34] <lackingfiness> CVirus, ifconfig does it, right?
[19:34] <mssever> lackingfiness: Please explain your problem more clearly
[19:34] <hellues> system----preferences--keyboard
[19:34] <CVirus> for sure ifconfig does that .. but I want something that prints the up interfaces .. that's all
[19:35] <CVirus> i mean check for them
[19:35] <Slart> CVirus: then I think you'll have to write it yourself
[19:35] <ozzie212> how do you powerdown at a specific time
[19:35] <deathtech> is there a such thing as a framebuffered terminal ? (Putty i dont think offerse this type of transmission)
[19:35] <Slart> ozzie212: sudo shutdown -h HH:MM
[19:35] <soundray> hellues: try with 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg' instead. You will have to restart X afterwards.
[19:35] <lackingfiness> i've been trying to run sudo apt-get update, but i keep getting an error towards the end that says it failed to fetch a certain file because there is "no such file or directory"
[19:35] <CVirus> Slart, cool .. thanks
[19:35] <hellues> i cannot set my nvidia
[19:35] <morth_> Mr_Fixit when i have the CompizConfig Settings manager i select the Preferences.. then it doesnt even show how many windows there are
[19:35] <hellues> with dpg-reconfigure
[19:36] <soundray> hellues: you aren't supposed to.
[19:36] <mssever> lackingfiness: Can you post (or pastebin) the exact error message?
[19:36] <lackingfiness> yeah, ill pastebin it
[19:36] <ozzie212> Slart, is the time in 24hr format
[19:36] <devildothack> hellues, have you tried running sudo nvidia-settings
[19:36] <soundray> hellues: in hardy, you use dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg to setup the keyboard, not the graphics driver
[19:36] <Slart> ozzie212: yes
[19:36] <deathtech> What about using FreeNX to connect to my Ubuntu machine from my vista laptop, it seems to work great, but randomly disconnects at times, and when i connect back, it starts  anew session each time. This is my only qualm, as i would like it to show the same desktop each time, vs starting a new session, and also to not disconnect randomly
[19:36] <ozzie212> TY
[19:36] <Mr_Fixit> morth_, you are looking for the grey boxes beside the trash bin in the lower right corner
[19:36] <Slart> ozzie212: take a look at "man shutdown" for more info
[19:37] <hellues> sorry
[19:37] <Mr_Fixit> morth_, right click there and look for preferences
[19:37] <morth_> OH
[19:37] <morth_> i see it
[19:37] <hellues> i am using debian
[19:37] <mssever> deathtech: You could use VNC...I don't know FreeNX
[19:37] <hellues> wrong channel
[19:37] <morth_> so i select 4 columns
[19:37] <thiebaude> brb
[19:37] <morth_> what are the Rows?
[19:37] <emilsedgh> a friend of mine uses ubuntu from a mac on vm.he forgot his password.is there any way to recover that password? actually there is no grub so i dont know how to boot into single mode.
[19:37] <Mr_Fixit> yes morth_
[19:37] <deathtech> does VNC allow me to see the same session each tim ei log in even if i get disocnnecte D?
[19:37] <Mr_Fixit> or 16x16
[19:37] <lackingfiness> http://pastebin.com/d79cf96f0
[19:37] <lackingfiness> this is what's up
[19:37] <Anastasia> If anyone has an idea other than changing distros, please prefix response with my nick, googling still but it is nasty at 800x600 :-)
[19:37] <mssever> emilsedgh: He can start up a live CD,
[19:37] <Slart> deathtech: there is a vnc server that uses the session of the currently logged in user.. that would do what you want
[19:37] <soundray> emilsedgh: there should be grub. Look out for a 'hit Esc' message as it boots
[19:38] <bravo7_> I bought a pinnacle tv card
[19:38] <bravo7_> tuner

[19:40] <Mr_Fixit> umm.... i have ubuntu server running... i put xfce on it.... and made the mistake of trying to open gksu nautilus. Now i have desktop errors related to gnome.. is there any way to get rid of this or the whole GUI and start over?

[19:41] <lackingfiness> mssever, http://pastebin.com/d3bd10a85
[19:41] <soundray> Anastasia: in this version, dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg is not for setting up the display and video driver. Use 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk' instead

[19:42] <nowimproved> ubottu, 12/male/alaksa
[19:42] <mssever> lackingfiness: That's weird. Everything looks OK. Do you have the rename package installed?
[19:43] <logivision> amanulla: sorry just looking int o soundrays advice it looks liek there might be an easier way to do it. ?
[19:43] <soundray> Anastasia: it's not broken -- it's a feature...

[19:43] <logivision> soundray: can i just go "apt-get xserver-xorg-input-elographic" in terminal ?
[19:43] <mssever> lackingfiness: It's a wild guess--since that's what the errors are complaining about
[19:43] <amanulla> ok

[19:44] <lackingfiness> mssever, haha, ill try and look, hold on
[19:44] <Mr_Fixit> ubi-laptop, try looking in the /media/ or /mnt/ folders

[19:44] <Guinnesss> Hi...Can anyone explain what "upstream" refers to in term of linux/ubuntu development?
[19:44] <bravo7_> deathtech its a Pinnacle
[19:44] <mssever> Guinnesss: That means the project where Ubuntu gets its software from
[19:45] <bravo7_> deathtech it doesn't say the model

[19:45] <infernal> can anyone help........I installed Fedora on ma PC and took ma harddrive to another PC and booted from it there....but its not booting on that other PC.....some one help plz...........
[19:45]  * Mr_Fixit doesn't pee upstream because then he can't eat the fish
[19:45] <mssever> s/project/projects/
[19:45] <logivision> soundray: i can also do "sudo aptitude install xserver-xorg-input-elographics" correct?
[19:45] <soundray> Guinnesss: from the point of view of distributors like Ubuntu, those who actually write and maintain the software are "upstream"
[19:45] <d0lphin_n0el> someone knows some good software to control the bass the the treable in linux? ... :X i dont have nathing here to rythmicbox :x but if i remember i can do this manually in ... alsa ...
[19:45] <deathtech> bravo7_ : you should have a mnual or box of some type that says what type of pinnacle
[19:45] <soundray> logivision: yes
[19:45] <chamuscas> there goes of this again, i don't know how to solve the wine overlapping screen problem ? does anyone know how to solve it

[19:45] <infernal> can anyone help........I installed Fedora on ma PC and took ma harddrive to another PC and booted from it there....but its not booting on that other PC.....some one help plz...........
[19:46] <logivision> soundray: this way i can teach my co-workers

[19:47] <soundray> vassler: please ask in #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:47] <srpenney> I don't think I've done anything special, gcc was already installed.  Any idea why stdio.h would be missing?

[19:47] <soundray> !wtf > localgod11
[19:47] <vassler> i like this channel tho
[19:47] <deathtech> localgod11 : if it is outside of your home directory, type sudo before you make the new directory.
[19:48] <mssever> srpenney: have you installed build-essential?

[19:48] <localgod11> turtle: why is that?
[19:48] <amanulla> also this soundray:liveusb_0.0.8-0ubuntu1
[19:48] <thiebaude> no, vassler
[19:48] <soundray> amanulla: it's in the repositories, so why install a .tar.gz?
[19:48] <Mr_Fixit> mssever, when i ran it. it switched my desktop pic to the default gnome pic.. and dished out some errors i think related to the fact that i didn't install gnome
[19:48] <bravo7_> deathtech http://paste.ubuntu.com/55750/
[19:48] <turtle_> it seems to be sacreligious
[19:48] <logivision> soundray: do i need to isntall both the ones you listed?
[19:49] <gavi> i dont want to use xorg.. what else can i use?
[19:49] <turtle_> maybe thats why your partition isnt working?
[19:49] <soundray> logivision: I think you need only one of the two, but I don't know which
[19:49] <mrxmike> r_a_f: no
[19:49] <localgod11> turtle: to whose religion?
[19:49] <amanulla> soundray:because i got it from a dvd
[19:49] <amanulla> containing may paks
[19:49] <mrxmike> i dont want X to start on boot
[19:49] <turtle_> the religion
[19:49] <mssever> Mr_Fixit: ah, yes, nautilus tries to take over your desktop. Read the nam page, because there's an option to disable that behavior, though I don't remember right now what it is
[19:49] <soundray> amanulla: get an Ubuntu package instead.
[19:49] <jf13> if I wanted to alter usb sound card would I do this in alsa or pulseaudio?
[19:49] <deathtech> bravo7_ :  search google for "Conexant CX23880 Ubuntu"
[19:50] <r_a_f> Mr_Fixit: nautilus --no-desktop
[19:50] <amanulla> soundray:you mean .deb?
[19:50] <localgod11> turtle_:  What is "the religion"?  Also http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYvRVXem_Lg
[19:50] <Myrtti> can you folks keep the offtopic away this channel, turtle_, localgod11?
[19:50] <ubi-laptop> Mr_Fixit thanks they are empty ..
[19:50] <soundray> amanulla: yes, but not any deb -- get it from the repository
[19:50] <mrxmike> anyone?
[19:51] <Tundrayeti312> jf13: If i understand correctly the module used for a driver for USB sound cards is snd-usb-audio which is part of ALSA so... ALSA which should automagically work w/ Pulse if you have it setup correctly
[19:51] <logivision> soundray: it appeared to install fine but it didn't add any program that i can see to configure the touch screen. would there be a second step to this or?
[19:51] <Mr_Fixit> thanks r_a_f
[19:51] <amanulla> soundray:why whats difference from getting out?
[19:51] <jiboy> nuar
[19:51] <mssever> mrxmike: Remove the gdm symlink from /etc/rc{2,3,4,5}.d
[19:52] <mrxmike> is just 5 not enough and 3?
[19:52] <soundray> amanulla: it lets you update automatically, it integrates with your system better, and it will give you fewer troubles
[19:52] <amanulla> wont it sounds good?
[19:52] <amanulla> soundray:its ok
[19:52] <jf13> Tundrayeti312: ok yeah I want to go in there and tweak it for my headset so it will work correctly thanks
[19:52] <mssever> mrxmike: I think Ubuntu defaults to runlevel 2, actually, but I might be wrong
[19:52] <amanulla> but what about my question
[19:53] <amanulla> soundray: how to install .tar.gz package
[19:53] <amanulla> i cant remember command
[19:53] <amanulla> exactly
[19:53] <amanulla> i did the same before
[19:53] <amanulla> it may be like thuis
[19:53] <logivision> soundray: is there a second step to the installation? it appeared to install fine but there's no program listed in applications or system for me to configure the touch screen
[19:53] <soundray> amanulla: you unpack it and follow the instructions inside
[19:53] <jf13> I'm not a programer but I can tinker and learn fairly easily
[19:53] <mssever> amanulla: It depends on the package
[19:53] <amanulla> sudo jar -zxvf ...
[19:54] <amanulla> its a tar.gz
[19:54] <mssever> amanulla: to unpack it, tar xzvf tarball.tar.gz
[19:54] <soundray> logivision: it's a driver. You will have to reference it in /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- look in /usr/share/doc/packagename for instructions
[19:54] <logivision> soundray: all there is in that doc location is a changelog...
[19:54] <mrxmike> how do i stop the splash screen?
[19:54] <amanulla> then
[19:55] <soundray> logivision: try 'man elographics' then
[19:55] <erUSUL> mrxmike: stop?
[19:55] <mssever> mrxmike: which splash screen?
[19:55] <mrxmike> boot splash
[19:55] <mrxmike> i like verbose....
[19:55] <mrxmike> mssever: i removed all gdm's from /etc/rc.* ...
[19:55] <mrxmike> and it still starts
[19:55] <mssever> mrxmike: Edit /boot/grub/menu.list and remove the splash option
[19:55] <soundray> mrxmike: remove all occurrences of 'quiet splash' from /boot/grub/menu.lst
[19:56] <erUSUL> mrxmike: edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and get rid of splash and quiet options from kernel lines
[19:56] <mrxmike> shall i edit /boot/grub/menu.lst and get rid of splash and quiet options from kernel lines ?
[19:56] <mrxmike> ok, thanks x 3 :-D
[19:56] <soundray> mrxmike: and from #kopt and #defoptions lines
[19:56] <TuniX12> hello
[19:56] <logivision> soundray: in it it says "" where do I find that?
[19:57] <sceo> when I try to print, my application freezes and I have to force-quit.  I have tried gedit, firefox, and evince (all crash).  Strangely, open-office and the printer settings "print test page" seem to work fine.  This started happening in the last few days, maybe a recent update?  I looked in the access_log and error_log for cups, and tried starting evince and gedit from the command line, but neither spit anything out.
[19:57] <soundray> logivision: pardon?
[19:57] <logivision> soundray: sorry " Please refer to xorg.conf(5) for general configuration details and  for
[19:57] <logivision>        options  that  can  be  used with all input driver"
[19:57] <Slart> mrxmike: just remove it from kopt and defopt.. then run sudo update-grub and it will do the rest for you
[19:57] <mrxmike> k
[19:57] <soundray> logivision: man xorg.conf
[19:57] <bwolfe> anyone know how to refresh x WITHOUT using control-alt-backspace ?  One of the higher screen resolutions isn't working with the "Screen Resolution" dialog and I don't want to lose some of my windows that are open.
[19:58] <krim> I just got a Popcorn Hour A110 and I'm using Ubuntu Hardy. I can see Popcorn Hour in network servers in Nautilus and send files, but that's Samba. Anyone know how to send stuff via NFS? I tried typing this into the "adress field" in Nautilus: nfs://<IP_ADDRESS>:/Video    but I get the message that "Nautilus cannot handle nfs: locations."
[19:58] <soundray> logivision: actually, the instructions are in the file you pastebinned. Scroll down to Step II
[19:58] <notwist> krim: whats wrong with samba?
[19:58] <soundray> logivision: all the other steps (before and after) should have been performed by the installer
[19:59] <krim> notwist: I've read that NFS is faster
[19:59] <amanulla> how can i install a tar.gz package any command to type in terminal?
[19:59] <soundray> amanulla: you don't install it directly. Unpack it and follow the instructions that it contains
[20:00] <logivision> wow
[20:00] <logivision> cool thx
[20:00] <soundray> amanulla: and don't install html2text from a tar.gz -- use the repositories version instead
[20:00] <Anastasia> soundray: Didn't seem to work, but let me reboot and see if I got the new res.  Thanks much for your efforts.
[20:00] <amanulla> ok
[20:00] <krim> I guess my question pretty much is "How do I use NFS to connect to another device?" Because for some reason that doesn't seem to work for me in Ubuntu, and Samba does.
[20:00] <soundray> Anastasia: restarting the X server may be enough
[20:01] <soundray> krim: there is some NFS help on the wiki...
[20:01] <TuniX12> question for intrepid testers does it support RTL8180L wifi chipset correctly
[20:01] <soundray> !nfs > krim
[20:01] <soundray> TuniX12: ask in
[20:01] <soundray> TuniX12: ask in  #ubuntu+1 please
[20:01] <TuniX12> i got no answer there
[20:02] <krim> soundray: I'll give it a try, thanks
[20:02] <chamuscas> does anyone know where do i choose to start wine without being in fullscreen?
[20:02] <TuniX12> is there any list of supported chipset?
[20:02] <soundray> !hcl > TuniX12
[20:02] <mrxmike> !event.d
[20:03] <logivision> soundray: i opened the xorg.conf and added to the bottem then when i save it says I'm not allowed to
[20:03] <brightwebworks> Where do I find a list of new implementations for the upcoming version of uBuntu?
[20:04] <soundray> logivision: save it to your home directory, then copy it from there to /etc/X11 using 'sudo cp ~/xorg.conf /etc/X11'
[20:04] <soundray> logivision: when you edit system files, you should start the editor with 'gksudo gedit' to have write permissions in system directories
[20:05] <logivision> soundray: oh.. thanks :)
[20:05] <soundray> logivision: please backup your xorg.conf with 'sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf-backup' first
[20:05] <localgod11> is there an easy way to enable fiel sharing throught the gui?  I have shares showing on the network but when I attempt to access them from a winders machine it asks for a pass and the UN say Guest but is grayed out
[20:05] <heret|c> localgod11, samba ?
[20:06] <localgod11> heret|c: I have it installed
[20:06] <soundray> !intrepid > brightwebworks
[20:06] <brightwebworks> ok
[20:07] <x-ip> hi .... which is the accesibility channel from ubuntu ?
[20:07] <quaal> has anyone here figured out how to add resolutions to the system/preferences/screen resolution dropdown menu yet
[20:07] <Slart> deathtech: hmm.. I played around a bit with that vnc server.. but as far as I can tell I can't get it to run without there being a user logged in.. unforunately
[20:07] <soundray> quaal: 'gksudo displayconfig-gtk'
[20:08] <Demitel> hi, could someone help me out with installing stuff through wine. im trying to do an install that uses multiple isos but i cant get it to work, it wont let me swap discs
[20:08] <soundray> Slart: there are instructions for running Xvnc on startup somewhere...
[20:08] <stickystyle> is there a spanish version of the help.ubuntu.com site?  if so, is there a direct link to it that I can pass on to others?
[20:09] <bravo7_> can someone help me setup
[20:09] <Slart> soundray: mm.. but I was trying with x11vnc.. it uses the currently logged in users session instead of creating a new one
[20:09] <bravo7_> can someone help me setup mythtv!
[20:09] <bravo7_> can someone help me setup mythtv! heres my   vncviewer bravo7-desktop:0
[20:09] <logivision> soundray: woul rebooting be smart right now or should it not matter
[20:10] <logivision> soundray: it's telling me to go cd /elo but it says that file does not excist
[20:10] <Pici> stickystyle: I think it is http://doc.ubuntu-es.org , but its not loading for me for some reason.
[20:10] <sqawerlz> I'm having a problem with visual styles and themes in ubuntu 8.04 LST. I'm trying to find a theme I can use, but I'm unsure where to get them or what is the package extensions. I am currently searching http://www.gnome-look.org/ but it doesnt appear I can use any of the packages on the site.
[20:10] <soundray> Slart: why not use System-Preferences-Remote Desktop then?
[20:10] <jasuus> sqawerlz: try gnome art
[20:11] <Demitel> ive been trying to use gmount-iso to load the images, but when i go through cd1 and i go to change, it wont let me unmount and put cd2 in its place.
[20:11] <Pici> sqawerlz: Themes generally come in tar.gz files.  Just drag them onto the Appearance manager
[20:11] <chetnick> hi, my VPN client menu disappeared from NetworkManager. Any ideas why this happened and how can i put it back?
[20:11] <soundray> logivision: when you've changed xorg.conf, you should restart X. No harm in rebooting.
[20:11] <stickystyle> Pici: Ah, perfect, thank you.  It's loading for me, although very slowly.
[20:11] <chamuscas_> does anyone know the room conversation for wine ?
[20:11] <soundray> logivision: what's telling you to cd /elo ?
[20:11] <Slart> soundray: ah.. you're right.. I never think of that one..
[20:11] <logivision> soundray: the readme.
[20:12] <Pici> stickystyle: #ubuntu-es also exists for spanish irc support.
[20:12] <sqawerlz> Pici, I didn't know that. I was trying to install them by clicking install and browsing to them but they didnt show up.
[20:12] <logivision> soundray: i added that to the xorg.conf but i need to still configure the touch screen. to do that it says "Run the calibration utility from a command window in X Windows from the /elo directory.
[20:12] <logivision>   > cd /elo
[20:12] <logivision>   > ./elova -u "
[20:13] <amanulla> Pici:how to install a tar.gz pack
[20:13] <soundray> logivision: please don't paste -- I can see all of this in the pastebin
[20:13] <Pici> amanulla: pack of what?
[20:13] <logivision> soundray: sry
[20:13] <soundray> logivision: apparently, you need to install libts-bin and run ts_calibrate
[20:14] <logivision> soundray: so.. sudo aptitude install libts-bin
[20:14] <kinozawa> hey what's up?
[20:15] <soundray> logivision: yes. It contains further utilities and their manpages. List them with dpkg -L libts-bin once installed
[20:15] <zidoh> I've installed the mysql-server package. During the installation i get a question to enter the password for the root user of the mysqlserver, and i do this. However, once i start the server afterwards i'm unable to log in with that password. It looks like the same problem as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MysqlPasswordReset - but the SET PASSWORD command doesn't work when mysql is run with --skip-grant-tables and the alternate method
[20:16] <zidoh> I've also tried to use dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server to set the password again, which doesn't work either
[20:16] <xhunter> hi
[20:16] <xhunter> Can some one help me ?
[20:16] <soundray> !ask | xhunter
[20:16] <zidoh> and, selecting everything from mysql.user - i only get debian-sys-maint
[20:17] <lucio_> REGISTER <ambl44><EMAIL_ADDRESS>[20:17] <amanulla> Pici:.tar.gz
[20:17] <zidoh> So basically, anybody know why the mysql-server installation would "forget" creating a root user on the mysqlserver?
[20:17] <amanulla> pici:file:///home/amanulla/Desktop/d5q05/programming/commoncpp2-1.3.16.tar.gz
[20:17] <amanulla> this one
[20:18] <kitche> zidoh: it doesn't since it uses one by default
[20:18] <logivision> soundray: once it's instaleld how do i run ts_calibrate?
[20:18] <amanulla> pici:how can i install it?
[20:18] <zidoh> kitche: uses one what?
[20:18] <xhunter> I installed the xorg then gdm but the problem is when I want to install the gnome-desktop-environment it gives an error like " package gnome-desktop environment is missing has been obsoleted or is only availble from another source and " ....but is reffered by another package "
[20:18] <localgod11> Is there a simple way to create a share in linux that is available to users in a winder enviroment?
[20:19] <kitche> zidoh: a root account your probably trying to log in incorrectly as root
[20:19] <Tundrayeti312> localgod11: samba, as was suggested, is the easiest way i know of
[20:20] <zidoh> kitche: i get access denied for root@localhost - and after resetting the password now around 10 times (reinstalls or in other ways) i'm fairly certain it's not the password that's wrong
[20:20] <zidoh> kitche: either way, the root user should show up in mysql.user table if it existed?
[20:20] <soundray> logivision: by entering the command in a terminal window
[20:21] <quaal> soundray, OHHHHHHHH so THATS how i get to this screen. i couldnt get to this unless i followed the guide that doesnt work on the ubuntuwiki howto
[20:21] <xhunter> I installed the xorg then gdm but the problem is when I want to install the gnome-desktop-environment it gives an error like " package gnome-desktop environment is missing has been obsoleted or is only availble from another source and " ....but is reffered by another package " sondray : Can you help me ? I can't google it soryy.....
[20:21] <logivision> if i just typets_calibrate it dooesnt' work
[20:21] <soundray> xhunter: are you on Ubuntu?
[20:21] <goddamnallthenic> hey, is there a way to view my network with thundar? i cant see my windows shares
[20:22] <xhunter> sondray : yes
[20:22] <soundray> logivision: have you installed the libts-bin package?
[20:22] <logivision> soudray: yes
[20:22] <kitche> zidoh: not that I know of but myself I stopped using mysql
[20:22] <xhunter> soudray : sorry..yes am using ubuntu
[20:22] <soundray> xhunter: 'sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop'
[20:22] <Hix-2> genii, ping
[20:23] <xhunter> soundray : Thanks hang on a sec i'll try it
[20:23] <genii> Hix-2: Pong
[20:23] <Phoul> Does anyone know why i get errors with XV when using fglrx
[20:23] <Hix-2> sorry to bug you again
[20:23] <DavidCanarias> I thought I deleted Limewire using Synaptic but when I was checking my disc capacity there is still something there. What is the best way to delete safely and completely? Thks
[20:23] <Phoul> is there a known fix for this
[20:23] <Hix-2> but im trying that again from last night on a different box and my laptop with all the logs is at home
[20:24] <Hix-2> i need those two dependencies again.....    encode   and HTML::Mason
[20:24] <soundray> Hix-2: http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/
[20:24] <Hix-2> i was able to get the others, but these two dont seem to be working out for me
[20:24] <Mr_Fixit> hahaha
[20:24] <Hix-2> soundray, thanks
[20:24] <logivision> soundray: if i go into the /usr/bin and type dir it lists ts_calibrate in there but if i just type ts_calibrate or ./ts_cailbrate it says file or filder does not excist
[20:24] <blood> hello'
[20:24] <_Zeus_> !hi
[20:25] <quaal> soundray, hmmm.. it seems that none of the configurations i try work though..
[20:25] <losher> zidoh: tried this? --> http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/resetting-permissions.html
[20:25] <smoovep> how to change sendmail reply email address
[20:25] <soundray> logivision: even if you spell it absolutely correctly?
[20:25] <blood> i get this error when i try to upgrade my version of ubuntu Failed to fetch http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/universe/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[20:25] <blood> Failed to fetch http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/multiverse/binary-i386/Packages.gz Sub-process gzip returned an error code (1)
[20:26] <_Zeus_> smoovep: try to change sendmail.conf
[20:26] <Hix-2> what was the command you gave me then?
[20:26] <logivision> soundray: yep... unless they are special hidden code characters that loko ilke normal ones
[20:26] <Tundrayeti312> blood: try using a different server
[20:26] <soundray> logivision: no, it's then more likely that ts_calibrate itself calls something that doesn't exist.
[20:27] <Dougal> okies: i need some serious help with partitioning. I've got ubuntu installed on my main hard disk, but i need to make a small XP compatable partition, enough space for the XP start-up files. (I'm attempting to instal XP on my secondary hard drive)
[20:27] <soundray> logivision: one way to check would be to run 'strace ts_calibrate' and look at the final few lines of output
[20:27] <Dougal> Anyone able to give advice to a releative newb?
[20:27] <Tundrayeti312> !ask > Dougal
[20:27] <losher> zeus: sendmail is a pig. Can you get by with ssmtp instead. 6 lines of config and you're done
[20:28] <_Zeus_> losher: i don't use sendmail
[20:28] <losher> zeus: sorry, meant that for smoovep
[20:28] <localgod11> Tundrayeti:  can you explain to me how to do it with samba?
[20:28] <genii> Hix-2: Ah, I recall now. The name of the package is like the name of the perl module needed but all lowercase separated by - instead of :: starting with lib and ending with -perl   so encode will be package libencode-perl and HTML::Mason will be libhtml-mason-perl
[20:28] <soundray> Dougal: I don't think your plan will work. Putting Windows on the first hard disk drive is much easier.
[20:29] <Dougal> Tundrayeti312: apologies. That would have worked better if i'd appended it to the end of my *previous* comment. It got seperated furthat than i like
[20:29] <logivision> soundray: here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/55759/
[20:29] <localgod11> Tundrayeti312:  or am I expected to read all about samba to setup a simple share?
[20:29] <zidoh> losher: yes, but update mysql.user row on key User='root' doesn't work well, as it says there are 0 rows changed
[20:29] <Dougal> soundray: i'd really like the larger disk (the one that's got ubuntu on it already) to remain the primary disk if at all possible
[20:29] <Tundrayeti312> localgod11: There are plenty of guides on how to do it, use your bff google :)  Yes reading is involved sometimes.
[20:29] <genii> Hix-2: To install:    sudo apt-get install libencode-perl libhtml-mason-perl                    in this case
[20:29] <dustman_> what is traceroute analog in ubuntu?
[20:30] <localgod11> Tundrayeti312:  to create a simple share? seriously?
[20:30] <soundray> logivision: see, it doesn't find ts_open
[20:30] <Mohammad[B]> hi all
[20:30] <genii> dustman_: tracepath
[20:30] <dustman_> genii: ty
[20:30] <morth_> Anyone know how to add a icon package to my desktop theme?
[20:30] <Mohammad[B]> how do i can change my User ID into 1000 ? now its 1006
[20:30] <Tundrayeti312> localgod11: A networked share?
[20:30] <genii> dustman_: np
[20:30] <logivision> soundray: ah ha, so how do i fix that ... ? :S
[20:30] <soundray> logivision: and ts_open isn't provided -- that's a bug unfortunately
[20:30] <morth_> im trying the Slickness blackness with the Black-white style icon theme but i dont understand how to install the icon theme
[20:31] <morrty> Can anyone help me with vi and ubuntu? I've used vi with CentOS before but just installed Ubuntu Server and it doesn't work right.
[20:31] <logivision> soundray: lol. so i'm screwed ?
[20:31] <soundray> logivision: please report it on launchpad
[20:31] <soundray> !bugs > logivision
[20:31] <zidoh> losher: basically, from every way i've been able to find out what users exist, the mysql-server package doesn't create any other users than "debian-sys-maint"
[20:31] <kitche> morrty: you probably need to install vim-full
[20:31] <localgod11> Tundrayeti312:  yep
[20:32] <morrty> kitche: so sudo apt-get install vim-full?
[20:32] <kitche> morrty: don't know the full path but I know by default vim on Ubuntu is a less featured full vim
[20:33] <Tundrayeti312> localgod11: setting up a networked share w/ windows isn't the easiest thing to do in the world, but its not that hard either... I'm not going to spoonfeed you directions bc us don't want to read  established well documented how-tos
[20:33] <Geoffrey2> I lost wireless a few days ago, and I'm trying to figure out if it's a hardware problem...can anyone here help me troubleshoot it?
[20:33] <soundray> !info vim-full | morrty
[20:33] <localgod11> Tundrayeti312:  what happened to right click on folder goto share?
[20:33] <morrty> Thanks alot kitche and everyone else. I'll try this.
[20:33] <localgod11> Tundrayeti312:  why doesnt that work? isnt is suppose to "just work"
[20:34] <morth_> how do i install a icon pacakage
[20:34] <zidoh> !info mysql-server
[20:34] <krim> When I right click a folder and choose to share it there's no option between samba or nfs, it's just shared but doesn't say how. Where do I see this?
[20:34] <erUSUL> morth_: usually you drag and drop the tar.gz over the change icon theme gui
[20:34] <zidoh> !info mysql-server-5.0
[20:34] <ReyRey> What programs you guys recommend to replace DvdDecrypter in windows? tried running it under wine on ubuntu 8.04 and doesn't work? is there a linux version of it?
[20:34] <logivision> soundray: so I'm just screwed then ? although I searched ts_calibrate in the readme i provided you with and it never said anything about that ?
[20:34] <Tundrayeti312> localgod11: I know nothing of your issue.  Do you have samba setup? You asked the easiest method and I said samba afaik
[20:34] <sweetgum> How can I install the standard libraries for C?
[20:34] <puppy30342> hi
[20:35] <losher> zidoh: dunno how ambitious you are. If I were you, I'd try a different install.
[20:35] <soundray> krim: it's samba. To share via NFS, use /etc/export
[20:35] <kitche> sweetgum: libc6-dev
[20:35] <DavidCanarias> I'd like to download Ubuntu Hardy directly to a CD. Can anyone confirm if I can do this?
[20:35] <puppy30342> hi
[20:35] <puppy30342> :)
[20:35] <losher> ReyRey: I've used vobcopy, and dvdbackup. But I also use wine+dvddecrypter. It's not perfect, but it is usable
[20:35] <zidoh> losher: i've tried different ubuntumirrors now, i'm reluctant to start using a different distro or something tho :/

[20:36] <ReyRey> losher: i tried dvddecryper on wine but it doesn't read my disc drive?
[20:36] <krim> soundray, oh right nfs-kernel-server. I still haven't been able to connect to the nfs server on the device but I think I'm moving forward.
[20:36] <Geoffrey2> DavidCanarias, instead of downloading the ISO image and burning to a CD?
[20:36] <erUSUL> morth_: System>Preferences>Aperance customice theme
[20:37] <H|V_3ala2> hey
[20:37] <losher> ReyRey: try mounting the drive in linux before looking for it in dvddecrypter...
[20:37] <DavidCanarias> Geoffrey2: I am a bit worried I don't have a Cd so I wanted to burn to a CD, but I haven't a clue how to do it so I cant answer you. Are there several options?
[20:37] <puppy30342> soooo
[20:37] <erUSUL> !burning
[20:38] <soundray> logivision: no. I'm not sure whether ts_calibrate is the correct tool for your specific driver and touchscreen, but Ubuntu doesn't provide elova, and the tools package that it does provide has this clear bug. If you report it on launchpad, the package maintainer will be informed and will provide further help.
[20:38] <losher> zidoh: well, what you're doing isn't working. That means time to try a new approach!
[20:38] <H|V_3ala2> !bios
[20:38] <morth_> okay i got it now - thank you very much
[20:38] <Hix-2> genii: its telling me the libencode-perl package is not avail
[20:38] <harrimann_> Hello, I'm trying to tripple boot got the os's installed os x, xp , ubuntu but now i'm getting a hal.ddl error when tyring to boot windows
[20:38] <losher> zidoh: I had in mind going to http://dev.mysql.com/get/Downloads/MySQL-5.0/mysql-5.0.67-linux-i686.tar.gz/from/pick and installing from tar.gz
[20:38] <H|V_3ala2> i have a problem with my bios
[20:38] <puppy30342> choooooocooooooooooollllllaaaaat:)
[20:38] <DavidCanarias> Geoffrey2: When I checked the download site I seemed to be only able to file it on my computer which I already have.
[20:39] <soundray> H|V_3ala2: this channel is for Ubuntu questions, though
[20:39] <ReyRey> losher: it is mounted other programs can read it and i can watch movies through linux using other programs.. seems for me dvddecrypter under wine doesn't want to read it
[20:39] <alfonso> yeooooooooo
[20:39] <alfonso> olaa
[20:39] <morth_> erUSUL - it worked thank you
[20:39] <erUSUL> morth_: no problem
[20:40] <alfonso> hello
[20:40] <alfonso> hello
[20:40] <soundray> !hi | alfonso
[20:40] <H|V_3ala2> yes
[20:40] <harrimann_> anyone?
[20:40] <blood> yo
[20:40] <alfonso> hi soundray
[20:40] <genii> !info libencode-perl
[20:40] <losher> ReyRey: Might be your wine setup. Tried googling for "ubuntu dvddecrypter cant read disk"?
[20:40] <H|V_3ala2> it's about abuntu live cd
[20:40] <Geoffrey2> DavidCanarias, if you already have the ISO downloaded, you should be able to burn it....all I did was right click on the ISO file, and pick the menu option "Write to Disc..."
[20:40] <alfonso> how do you live?
[20:40] <H|V_3ala2> I have this error ACPI: DMI BIOS year==0, assuming ACPI-capable machine
[20:40] <genii> Hix-2: Enable universe repository, update and try again
[20:40] <alfonso> i´from spain
[20:40] <zidoh> losher: well, i've been sitting for the last couple of days now trying to get this to work, so it's probably easier to just give in and try that.. but i cannot understand how on earth it can simply not create the users
[20:40] <soundray> alfonso: please join #ubuntu-offtopic for chatting -- this channel is for support only
[20:40] <ReyRey> losher yeah i even updated wine with the latest version and still no go but will do a google search thanks :-)
[20:41] <genii> !repos > Hix-2
[20:41] <DavidCanarias> Geoffrey2: If I have it installed in my computer then I suppose its the ISO. How can I check and how can I burn to CD. I dont know where to find it.
[20:41] <logivision> soundray: how do i uninstall the driver? i used aptitude install so it should remember it? also, what were the two you suggested ill try the escond one
[20:41] <soundray> H|V_3ala2: that in itself is not normally a problem
[20:41] <losher> ReyRey: if you find something that works, come back and tell us
[20:41] <anavarro> hi everyone
[20:42] <H|V_3ala2> ok soundray
[20:42] <Geoffrey2> any known fix for a very low resolution login screen?
[20:42] <soundray> logivision: 'sudo aptitude remove packagename'. xserver-xorg-input-elo2300
[20:42] <anavarro> I have a dell studio 1735 with a BCM4322 wireless card
[20:42] <H|V_3ala2> then why it doesn't complete bootin?
[20:42] <zidoh> losher: ofcourse, installing locally works like a charm.. it creates 6 mysqlusers on install, instead of the one
[20:42] <soundray> logivision: I don't think the problem is the driver, though
[20:43] <H|V_3ala2> It gives me the mouse cross for 2 secs and then it disapears
[20:43] <Odd-rationale> Geoffrey2: only the login screen has the wrong resolution?
[20:43] <losher> zidoh: so you're up and running at least?
[20:43] <soundray> logivision: or to put it precisely, we never got far enough to verify whether or not it is. Have you tried the touchscreen function (never mind the calibration)?
[20:43] <anavarro> I'm having problems with the drivers
[20:43] <Geoffrey2> Odd-rationale, yes....I had the same problem with the installation routine, every box is huge and runs way off the screen
[20:43] <soundray> H|V_3ala2: what do you see after that?
[20:43] <H|V_3ala2> and brings back the black screen with,,,plz wait,,,,,copyrights...blablabla
[20:44] <H|V_3ala2> and ubunt@ubuntu:"$
[20:44] <soundray> H|V_3ala2: what graphics card do you have?
[20:44] <Odd-rationale> Geoffrey2: how about after you login? is the reolution still wrong?
[20:44] <H|V_3ala2> sis mirage 3
[20:44] <harrimann_> I'm trying to triple boot. Now i get error hal.ddl is missing when tyring to boot into windows
[20:44] <harrimann_> anyone?
[20:44] <H|V_3ala2> 64mb shared
[20:44] <Geoffrey2> Odd-rationale, once I get my desktop, all is well
[20:45] <soundray> harrimann_: is this a Windows question?
[20:45] <anavarro> anyone knows something about the BCM4322 wireless card ???
[20:45] <zidoh> losher: the MySQL server on the actual server is running, it just doesn't create the correct mysql accounts during the installation
[20:45] <Odd-rationale> Geoffrey2: pastebin the output of xrandr. also, what reolution is the login screen? what relosution is your desktop? are you using gdm?
[20:45] <ReyRey> Guys I know we can rip a DVD to an OGM/OGG/OGM video file.. but is there a way to burn back to a DVD from those files?
[20:45] <blood> anavarro i hear many wirecards have problem with unix.
[20:45] <sachaquel> hi guys, anyone know where I can ask gtk+ programming questions?
[20:46] <DavidCanarias> Is there any way I can burn my Ubuntu Hardy program to CD?
[20:46] <losher> zidoh: I believe that's done by a post-install script of some kind. A typo in there would do it. Unusual for that to get past testing, but not unimaginable...
[20:46] <zidoh> so i have got no way of accessing the mysqlserver, apart from starting it with --skip-grant-tables, which isn't exactly ideal, and doesn't allow me to create users (unless i feel like manually inserting them into the mysql.user table, which i have a feeling wouldn't work out too well)
 yes
[20:46] <losher> zidoh: you've nothing to lose at this point, do you?
[20:46] <H|V_3ala2> soundray,,,,discoverd somthin?
[20:47] <anavarro> this one in particular is getting fail on the ssh connection
[20:47] <soundray> H|V_3ala2: did you say you can login in text mode?
[20:47] <H|V_3ala2> yes
[20:47] <H|V_3ala2> affermative
[20:47] <Tundrayeti312> zidoh: There is a #mysql channel that you could try... I would imagine you might get more answers there
[20:47] <Geoffrey2> Odd-rationale, http://pastebin.ca/1223969
[20:47] <anavarro> I compile the driver that provide the manufacturer broadcom
[20:47] <zidoh> losher: true
[20:48] <zidoh> Tundrayeti312: tried :/
[20:48] <harrimann_> no secondray this is not a windows question
[20:48] <harrimann_> did you read my question?
[20:48] <harrimann_> it has to do with ubuntu and grub
[20:48] <lucio_> Hi, does anybody knows Ddissert ?
[20:48] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: that is a windows problem
[20:48] <anavarro> but the ubuntu for some reason in any moment freezes
[20:48] <faemir> can someone help me with this error message: checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
[20:48] <harrimann_> yeah great i could fix my windows install and corrupt my ubuntu install
[20:48] <Odd-rationale> Geoffrey2: are you using gdm?
[20:48] <soundray> H|V_3ala2: I want you to try and edit your X configuration. First, create a backup with 'cd /etc/X11 ; cp xorg.conf xorg.conf-backup'
[20:48] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: it's windows that's missing the hal.dll, isn't it?
[20:48] <losher> zidoh: in your place, I'd backup any existing mysql data, uninstall, and try the tar.gz route
[20:48] <harrimann_> yes dut to the install of ubuntu
[20:49] <Geoffrey2> Odd-rationale, Desktop: 1280x600, 60Hz
[20:49] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: i don't think that's possible
[20:49] <harrimann_> yes it is possible
[20:49] <_Zeus_> how?
[20:49] <H|V_3ala2> and then?
[20:49] <soundray> harrimann_: you have a Windows problem.
[20:49] <harrimann_> great i will go to the #windows channel and then they will tell me to reinstall windows and then my ubuntu grub wont' work then i reinstall that and now windows does not work
[20:49] <H|V_3ala2> I don't care for the info
[20:49] <harrimann_> sounds like a problem with grub to me
[20:49] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: what do you want us to say?
[20:49] <H|V_3ala2> no need to backup
[20:49] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: HOW is that a problem with GRUB?!
[20:49] <ReyRey> Guys I know we can rip a DVD to an OGM/OGG/OGM video file.. but is there a way to burn back to a DVD from those files?
[20:49] <zidoh> losher: not much mysqldata there :P since i haven't been able to actually use the database, it's pretty blank.. i think i'm going to try to dump mysql.* from my local install (where it worked) and import it on the server (if it allows me in gimped-mode)
[20:49] <H|V_3ala2> xD
[20:50] <jorgerosa> hi
[20:50] <harrimann_> why don't you say. sorry i don't have your answer
[20:50] <anavarro> someone knows if contact the manufacturer in this case is possible ?
[20:50] <H|V_3ala2> I always do the stuns
[20:50] <Geoffrey2> Odd-rationale, gdm is installed, yes
[20:50] <soundray> H|V_3ala2: run 'sudo nano xorg.conf' and find the line Section "Device"
[20:50] <H|V_3ala2> xD
[20:50] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: no, because the answer I gave you is still correct
[20:50] <Odd-rationale> Geoffrey2: what is the resolution of the login screen
[20:50] <harrimann_> its its purly a windows problem then how come i find multiple post about it on the ubunt fourms
[20:50] <Odd-rationale> ?
[20:50] <losher> zidoh: nothing to lose by trying it
[20:50] <harrimann_> no zeus its not
[20:50] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: because a lot of people dualboot
[20:50] <Geoffrey2> Odd-rationale, how do I determine that?
[20:50] <harrimann_> triple boot
[20:50] <Tundrayeti312> harrimann_: I've had that problem before... Its not a hard fix, but i don't recall what it was.
[20:50] <perlsyntax> How do i run  file?
[20:50] <Odd-rationale> Geoffrey2: Just give a guess...
[20:51] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: you could try to download hal.dll, and put it where it hsould go
[20:51] <soundray> harrimann_: it will help you more if we say the truth
[20:51] <zidoh> uhm, /tmp/ is supposed to be writable to all, right? :)
[20:51] <_Zeus_> zidoh: don't think so
[20:51] <harrimann_> Yeah tll me the truth don't tell me to go to antoher channel where they obviously dont' knwo what i'm tyring to do here
[20:51] <anavarro> someone can help me with a wireless BCM4322 card?
[20:51] <soundray> zidoh: yes
[20:51] <_Zeus_> harrimann_: we did tell you the truth, and that is, try to download hal.dll, maybe that will fix it
[20:52] <hechu> join #ubuntu-cn
[20:52] <zidoh> wonder how that happened..
[20:52] <hellhound> is there a way to be notified of a new email in evolution without needing evolution running?
[20:52] <_Zeus_> hellhound: i don't think so...
[20:52] <Tundrayeti312> harrimann_: How to restore Hal.dll from Windows XP CD ---> http://pcsupport.about.com/od/fixtheproblem/ht/restorehaldll.htm
[20:52] <losher> zidoh: /tmp is usually drwxrwxrwt i.e. it has the sticky bit set. See man chmod for details
[20:53] <H|V_3ala2> soundray,,,
[20:53] <H|V_3ala2> 'sudo nano xorg.conf' the device?
 most i can say is that when i tried with my wireless on a different distro i had to reset the dhcp and reconect to the router
[20:53] <H|V_3ala2> and
[20:53] <Khisanth> ReyRey: the files would have to be converted again, you could use devede which will take care of all the steps
[20:53] <zidoh> losher: it's got that on my desktop install, but not on the serverinstall.. i'm guessing it's got messed up somehow on the serverinstall, and that there isn't really supposed to be a difference on that?
[20:53] <Odd-rationale> Geoffrey2: can I pm you?
[20:53] <soundray> H|V_3ala2: have you found the line I asked you to find?
[20:53] <H|V_3ala2> sure not,,,I'm not on linux
[20:53] <mulligan> is it hard to get rid of *every* desktop environment?  just plain x with a lightweight wm, no gnome or whatever stuff wasting any hd space
[20:53] <Geoffrey2> Odd-rationale, sure
[20:53] <H|V_3ala2> I'm on xp
[20:54] <H|V_3ala2> just takin full info to do it on next boot
 the dhcp?
 on the router configuration?
[20:54] <losher> zidoh: r u saying the sticky bit is gone? If so, it's no huge deal. It's basically a safety precaution
[20:54] <soundray> H|V_3ala2: insert the line   Driver "vesa"
[20:54] <zidoh> losher: no, ag+w is gone as well
[20:54] <soundray> H|V_3ala2: before the EndSection line
 on ur pc
[20:54] <_Zeus_> losher: try posting the out put of ls -d /tmp
[20:54] <zidoh> stickybit was, but i know that's not really a problem..
[20:54] <soundray> H|V_3ala2: then reboot
[20:55] <sysdoc> hellhound: http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evolution-hackers << look here
[20:55] <H|V_3ala2> I just type vesa?
[20:55] <losher> zidoh: ls -ld /tmp -> drwxrwxrwt 6 root root 12288 2008-10-09 12:55 /tmp/
[20:55] <soundray> H|V_3ala2: no
[20:55] <AJC_Z0> mulligan: Trivial.  How can you misread this to mean "I just type vesa"?
 ok, but I am on my wireless right now. My issue is a matter of some bug on the driver
[20:56] <losher> zeus: yep, zidoh is the one who's having problems. Not me :-)
[20:57] <zidoh> _Zeus_: mine was "drwxr-xr-x" - which i would guess could spell out troubles
[20:57] <H|V_3ala2> u can't just insert a word before anothe on the raw with 1 word
[20:57] <AJC_Z0> mulligan: Right. Ubuntu isn't the best choice for a customised lightweight desktop
[20:57] <_Zeus_> zidoh: yes, that's trouble
[20:57] <morrty> Hello, I have one last question for anyone.  I just install vsftpd and configured it.  I want to be able to write to my /var/www folder how do I set that up?
 because it causes that ubuntu suddenly freezes
[20:57] <soundray> H|V_3ala2: I told you to run 'sudo nano xorg.conf'
[20:57] <mulligan> ok, i'll look for something else
[20:57] <zidoh> i'm hoping it made my mysql-server install sad :P
[20:58] <phantomcircuit> Hey my webcam doesn't work in flash but it works with Cheese, it's a video4linux device
[20:58] <losher> mulligan: yes, it's possible to uninstall gnome/kde etc. I run just X and fvwm, no problem.
[20:58] <H|V_3ala2> ok
[20:58] <phantomcircuit> any ideas what i can do to get it to work?
[20:58] <H|V_3ala2> and the line device
[20:58] <H|V_3ala2> when I find it I should write vesa
[20:58] <AJC_Z0> mulligan: Any unix platform can be used as a functional desktop. How much work it is for you to set up depends more on your familiarity with the platform than the platform itself
[20:59] <soundray> H|V_3ala2: look, I gave you the clearest instructions that I could. If you can't follow those, you're on your own.
[20:59] <AJC_Z0> That said, FreeBSD is easiest
[20:59] <Samuel-NotAFK> What's so great about Pulseaudio then? 2 months ago I haven't even heard of it and now I hear it everywhere.

[21:00] <logivision> soundray: sorry was grabbing some lunch. the touch works yes, but it worked before i even installed the driver i think... it's just the calibration that's way off
[21:00] <hellhound> isn't there some kind of panel applet to notify you of a new email and then when clicked it brings up evolution?
[21:00] <zidoh> losher, _Zeus_: thanks for your help.. the problem was (i don't know how it happened), that a and g didn't have write rights to /tmp/

[21:02] <Mists> Can anyone help me with my USB drive? It says "Cannot Mount Volume" Invailid Mount option .. etc.. "
[21:02] <logivision> soundray: and i go about that....
[21:03] <soundray> logivision: to unpack a .tar.gz, run 'tar zxf filename.tar.gz'. It should create a new directory. You may have to compile with make, but don't run make install (it will mess up the installation you've done from the package)
[21:03] <zidoh> losher: haha, well, i was a bit surprised that my /tmp/ had wrong rights set.. I guess it's not an extremely common issue
[21:03] <aunvoh> anyone got a minute to help a noob with some pretty generic questions?
[21:03] <paines> hi
[21:03] <blood> ask away
[21:03] <soundray> logivision: if you haven't compiled anything before, you will have to 'sudo aptitude install build-essential'
[21:03] <losher> zidoh: probably a bug in an installation script somewhere...
[21:03] <Tundrayeti312> Samuel-NotAFK: Not really. They serve different purposes.  Pulseaudio is a sound server, and ALSA is more about getting drivers, soundcards, hw working.  A sound server is more about being able to control sound coming from different apps and sources...

[21:05] <logivision> soundray: damn. well thanks for all your help. i got about 10x farther with you than anybody else so far
[21:05] <Tundrayeti312> Samuel-NotAFK: No its not gnome, or linux, or unix specific.  Its POSIX and Win32 compliant if i recall correctly... so  debian, redhat, FreeBSD and XP could all use it

[21:07] <Mists> Blood: Thanks, I'll try that now.
[21:07] <nnull> ok ubuntu just logged me out byitself.. where can i find why it did this.... ?
[21:07] <hellhound> what is the bittorrent program for ubuntu?  i used to use kde and used ktorrent
[21:08] <Car1o> hello everyone
[21:08] <_dbd_l12> hellhound: you can try azureus (java-based)
[21:08] <nspyr> transmission?
[21:08] <phantomcircuit> How can I figure out what version of video4linux my webcam supports?
[21:08] <the_eraser> yes transmission
[21:08] <noodlesgc> hellhound I like deluge
[21:08] <jc2it>  I have some Neoware Thinclients that I am PXE booting from LTSP + Ubuntu. How do I determine which Via S3 driver to use, for optimum results?
[21:09] <Tundrayeti312> Samuel-NotAFK: I did answer that.  Pulseaudio is for KDE too, its not desktop manager, distribution, or even OS dependent
[21:09] <aunvoh> anyone want to pm a noob on some basic setup stuff?
[21:09] <Car1o> I have a problem with my touchpad....ubuntu doesn't seem to recognise it, i tried in forums but nothing, can someone help me plz?
[21:09] <nspyr> aunvoh: whats the problem?
[21:10] <Samuel-NotAFK> Tundrayeti312: Okay I think I'll test it out of curiosity, thank you for the information. :)
[21:10] <SwornPcfst> Hellhound, use Deluge, as noodlesgc said
[21:10] <Car1o> it doesn't work and i can't use Gsynaptics which is a GUI program to set the touchpad
[21:10] <Tundrayeti312> Samuel-NotAFK: np
[21:10] <hellhound> noodlesgc, SwornPcfst thank you :)
[21:11] <hellhound> hummm i have installed gnubiff but cannot find it anywhere to run it
[21:11] <kamaji> hey all, i'm getting an error  "cannot open disk drive" when I try to use cfdisk from the xubuntu live CD
[21:11] <losher> Hellhound: it's ugly as sin, but I use rtorrent
[21:11] <logivision> Jus tried to unpack a tarball and this is what it says http://paste.ubuntu.com/55773/
[21:12] <kamaji> meh, i wasn't root
[21:12] <kamaji> nm
[21:12] <losher> logivision: I don't see an "x" offhand i.e. tar xvzf
[21:13] <logivision> losher: thanks, was just told to run what yo usee
[21:13] <losher> logivision: the x is for extract, I don't think you can skip it
[21:13] <logivision> losher: makes sense. do i need d?
[21:13] <logivision> losher: or should i try your suggestion of xvzf
[21:14] <pirili> server irc.arrakis.es
[21:14] <SwornPcfst> Anyone know how to roll back a Ubuntu update?  The recommended update broke my wifi connection
[21:14] <losher> logivision: do "tar tvzf" first. That will do a dry run. If that looks good, change the t to an x
[21:15] <Pirate_Hunter> what would be the command to use with the rest of this so i can see open source drivers xf86-video | less?
[21:15] <jarco> on my ubuntu server i get this error when i do updatedb: updatedb: can not open a temporary file for `/var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db'
[21:15] <Geoffrey2> xrandr shows Screen 0 minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 1280 x 1280....is there any way to adjust the minimum value?
[21:15] <logivision> losher: i extracted it but it's not in the same location as the .tar.gz, should it be like that
[21:15] <losher> edb
[21:15] <logivision> losher: does it extract somewhere else ?
[21:15] <hellhound> hummm i have installed gnubiff but cannot find it anywhere to run it
[21:16] <sCOTTo> whats the latest stable of ubuntu ?
[21:16] <Geoffrey2> 8.04 Hardy Heron
[21:16] <sCOTTo> thanks
[21:16] <Geoffrey2> 8.10 is in beta, due out near the end of October
[21:16] <losher> logivision: it will extract to the current directory, unless it has absolute pathnames in it (beginning with slashes). That's why I like to check with tvzf before I unpackl
[21:17] <Pirate_Hunter> what is the command to see all opensource drivers?
[21:17] <losher> logivision: wanna paste the first 6 lines of output from tar tvzf for us to see?
[21:18] <balachmar> Hi, my computer just hangs now and the caps lock indicator is flashing, does anyone know what this is?

[21:18] <Doc8404> i have a older 2006 toshiba laptop with bios version 1.7... im going to upgrade it to 6.0 but what i need to know is if i put the flash on a usb drive and boot from usb... is that good enough?
[21:19] <thetrav> Hi.  I've got a spare hdd here that has an old install of fiesty on it.  I want to format/repartition it so it's just a storage drive.  How do I do that?  I tried the partitioner utility on the live cd, and formatted it to use all the space for an ext3 drive, but now I can't mount it
[21:19] <thetrav> is there some special partition I have to set up?
[21:19] <losher> logivision: ok, it looks like everything will go into bin-usb in the current directory. Does ./bin-usb now exist?
[21:20] <thetrav> or am I using the wrong utility?
[21:20] <logivision> losher: yep :)
[21:20] <logivision> losher: so how do i "make" it now?
[21:20] <losher> logivision: is there a README, or a Makefile or an INSTALL? Where did this come from. It looks like a kernel driver?
[21:21] <yoyoned> thetrav: so you rebooted from the live cd to what?.
[21:21] <jsq> thetrav: what error message are you getting when you try to mount the drive
[21:21] <schuyler_> Hi there, can someone help me with a couple of problems I'm having with a fresh Ubuntu installation on a Dell XPS M1530?
[21:21] <varon> i have ubuntu-server want to able powernowd, but it didn't work. can somebody help me?
[21:21] <logivision> losher: i downloaded it from Elo Touch's website. it's a touch screen driver for my monitor. it's "made" for Ubuntu 8.04
[21:21] <yoyoned> schuyler_: !ask
[21:21] <thetrav> I'm not getting an error message, I'm just not getting the drive show up on the gui
[21:21] <SwornPcfst> anyone have any suggestions for Ubuntu/Atheros wifi card issues?
[21:21] <thetrav> normally I can go to the computer and there's a drive to right click and mount
[21:22] <b-relaxed> when i run " fakeroot make-kpkg kernel_image" I get an error , mkdir: cannot create directory `debian': Permission denied, anyone please ?
[21:22] <logivision> losher: there is a readme... and an install.sh
[21:22] <jsq> thetrav: hmm not sure..
[21:22] <logivision> losher: i'm having issues getting through the read me though -_-
[21:22] <thetrav> ok, so using all the space as ext3 should be fine then?
[21:22] <schuyler_> Currently the biggest problems that bug me obviously are my wireless interface not discovering any networks, and also the screen will freeze often, requiring me to reboot the system.
[21:22] <yoyoned> thetrav: are you sure it's well connected
[21:22] <b-relaxed> SwornPcfst, did you try madwifi-tools ?
[21:22] <yoyoned> thetrav: ext3 is fine
[21:22] <krzd> i dont'g etting my bluetooth mouse and keyboard conencted witz bluez, it tries to conenct, but after a while bluez just close itselfs and don't connect. normally i hav eto enter a pw on the keyboard and pc, but also this is not, waht can i do?
[21:22] <schuyler_> lol hate to say it but ubuntu's giving me more trouble than vista ever has.
[21:22] <jsq> that is how my hdd is formated..
[21:23] <Doc8404> anyone here familiar with a bios upgrade
[21:23] <thetrav> ok then I'll keep playing around and see if I can figure it out.  Thanks for answering
[21:23] <SwornPcfst> b-relaxed - I haven't, but I'll look at that now, thanks :-)
[21:23] <losher> logivision: pls stand by, I'm looking at it
[21:23] <yoyoned> schuyler_: like what?
[21:23] <logivision> losher: thx :)
[21:23] <lucio_> Hi everybody
[21:23] <maniheer> !hi | lucio_
[21:24] <schuyler_> yoyoned: Wireless networking not working. System will freeze for no apparent reason (I haven't been able to relate the freezing to any specific action or program)
[21:25] <Pirate_Hunter> what is the command to see all opensource drivers?
[21:26] <schuyler_> yoyoned: i looked up several trouble shooting methods for my xps and the wireless issue, and tried using ndiswrapper, the two recommended drivers, and turning off the wifi catcher from the BIOS
[21:26] <jsq> i have tried rebooting multiple times, my mouse seemed to work for a few seconds after that, now it doesn't respond at all.. no movement, no clicks, nothing. it was working fine until i installed kde-desktop. anyone have any experience with this?
[21:26] <schuyler_> as for the freezing i didn't find any documentation
[21:26] <Doc8404> anyone here familiar with upgrading a bios? i have version 1.7, im wondering can i just download the newest or do yo have to go version by version. and im also wondering if i can just put hte flash on a usb drive, and boot to usb to upgrade the bios
[21:26] <l337ingDisorder> anyone here have experience with bootcd?
[21:27] <ekontsevoy> I run Ubuntu (Gnome) and sometimes I use a couple of Qt apps and they look VERY ugly. I played with qtconfig, but supplied "styles" are pretty bad. Can I download more styles? I tried various "KDE schemes" but they all need to be compiled and they require KDE, just Qt is not enough. So... how can I change the look of Qt apps on Gnome?
[21:27] <jsq> Doc8404: my experience with upgrading BIOS is if you don't NEED to, then don't, otherwise i'm nont sure
[21:27] <DFlame> Doc8404, it depends on why you want to update BIOS
[21:27] <DFlame> this is a "aint broke dont fix" thing
[21:27] <krzd> nobody there who know's what about bluez?
[21:27] <Doc8404> right now i cant access the ammount of ram the laptop allocated to video... and id like to change it to the most... i put in 4 gigs of 667mhz hyperx ram, from 1 gig of 667mhz and now i can use more for video
[21:28] <lucio_> anyone knows sw for mindmap ?
[21:28] <le_mischa> lucio_: paint? ;)
[21:28] <Pirate_Hunter> what is the command to see all opensource drivers?
[21:28] <smoovep> anyone know why send mail sends email to my email vs. the email enter in the php form?
[21:28] <DFlame> Doc8404, the looks for your bios updates. Do they fix these problems?
[21:28] <BobCFC> Doc8404, if you do decide to, you can use the latest version you don't need to worry about skipping in between
[21:28] <magnetron> Pirate_Hunter, what do you mean?
[21:28] <DFlame> *notes
[21:28] <Doc8404> DFlame yes, it also makes the computer 64bit capable
[21:29] <losher> logivision: r u there?
[21:29] <logivision> losher: sure am :)
[21:29] <lucio_> le_mischa no the name is "Kdissert"
[21:29] <jsq> to upgrade BIOS usually you need DOS, right?
[21:29] <DFlame> cool, I would attempt then. WinPhlash works pretty well in windows afaik, though you might be better off with a DOS bootdisk
[21:29] <Mr_Fixit> can someone help me make a tar and transfer it from server to remote?
[21:29] <Pirate_Hunter> magnetron, this is an example for archpacman -Ss xf86-video | less, how would i do it for ubuntu and install only the driver i want?
[21:29] <losher> logivision: ok, ready to begin attempted install?
[21:29] <DFlame> and the flasher/flash file on a seperate disk
[21:29] <Doc8404> hmm... i was just going to boot from usb
[21:30] <logivision> losher: ready and waiting sir
[21:30] <losher> logivision: wanna go to private chat?
[21:30] <DFlame> booting from USB would probably be fine, I'm just working on what i know here
[21:30] <logivision> losher: ya sure might be easier
[21:30] <Balian> #ubuntu.pl
[21:30] <Doc8404> ah ok whew lol, the ram i bought came with a 2gig thumb drive
[21:30] <DFlame> i've used floppies and CDs in the past to flash. haven't tried USB yet
[21:30] <magnetron> Pirate_Hunter you mean list all the xfree86 packages? first of all, ubuntu uses xorg, not xf86
[21:31] <dontchoke2> hi there
[21:31] <dontchoke2> where can i find server start up script
[21:31] <Doc8404> kingston hooked it up :) 2 gig 667mhz sticks times two with a two gig thumb drive for 70bucks
[21:31] <DFlame> as long as you get the right file for your mobo, you cant really go wrong without a power cut or something similar
[21:31] <Pirate_Hunter> magnetron: ok how do i show xorg package for SiS and force it to install only that driver?
[21:31] <Doc8404> what i did was went to the toshiba site, and downloaded the one they said to get
[21:31] <Doc8404> but here goes nothing
[21:32] <schuyler_> yoyoned: sorry. it froze again.
[21:32] <Pirate_Hunter> magnetron: ok how do i show xorg package for SiS and force it to install only that driver *and use it?
[21:33] <Mists> Everytime I try to mkdir it says I do not have the premission.
[21:33] <magnetron> Pirate_Hunter, this is the equivalent ubuntu command - it will list all the xorg video support packagesaptitude search xserver-xorg-video
[21:33] <_dbd_l12> Mists: depends on the rights on that particular directory - try sudo mkdir
[21:33] <magnetron> Pirate_Hunter, aptitude search xserver-xorg-video
[21:34] <Cpudan80> Hello all
[21:34] <Cpudan80> I am trying to mount my USB pen drive --- but when I plug it in it says "not privileged to mount KINGSTON"
[21:34] <Mists> Ok thanks :)
[21:34] <Pirate_Hunter> magnetron: once i find it do i just install with apt-get and will xorg use that driver straight away?
[21:34] <Cpudan80> How can I figure out which dev corresponds to the pen drive --- obviously I can mount it as sudo --- but finding out which dev it is....
[21:34] <magnetron> Pirate_Hunter, no.
[21:35] <Pirate_Hunter> magnetron: hmmm....???
[21:35] <magnetron> Pirate_Hunter, i answered your question
[21:35] <nspyr> whats the command to configure the display?
[21:36] <Mists> I'm trying to mount my USB Flash Drive, using this guide http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-tutorials-howtos-reference-material/15776-how-mount-usb-flash-drives-linux.html
[21:36] <nabuco> hello
[21:36] <Mists> But when I get to mount  /dev/sda1/mnt/usbflash
[21:36] <Mists> it wont work
[21:36] <_dbd_l12> nspyr: do you mean sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg ?
[21:36] <juninho> ou mano
[21:37] <Pirate_Hunter> magnetron: ok
[21:37] <SwornPcfst> in case anyone's interested, I kinda found the issue with my Atheros card, the upgrade from 2.6.27-4 to 2.6.27-6 broke the wifi ability, booting back into 2.6.27-4 fixes the issue
[21:37] <JohnFlux_> hey all
[21:37] <nspyr> _dbd_l12: well ya but what about the graphical one...gtk-display-properties
[21:37] <Mists> When i try to mount my usb by mount /dev/sda1/mnt/usbflash It says file cannot be found in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[21:37] <JohnFlux_> I just upgraded to 8.10, and djview package failed to install
[21:37] <Doc8404> be done from a cd
[21:38] <Doc8404> or from a floppy disk... toshiba wont let you do it from a flash drive
[21:38] <JohnFlux_> Mists: you're missing a space
[21:38] <Mists> Sorry? Space where?
[21:38] <JohnFlux_> Mists: between /dev/sda1  and /mnt/usbflash
[21:38] <Mists> oooohh...
[21:38] <Mists> lol
[21:38] <JohnFlux_> Mists: but the bigger question is why are you having to do this manually..
[21:38] <Doc8404> hmm i just plug in the usb device and it opens it:P
[21:38] <Mists> It wont let me open my flash drive
[21:39] <Guest70991> Hi guys - I'm trying to setup ssh on ubuntu and am having a little trouble.  When I attempt to ssh from local network it's no problem, but when I try and access via external ip no joy...think I've got my firewall and router setup right though.  Any experts?
[21:39] <Mists> It says "Cannot mount volume"
[21:39] <schuyler_> k this is getting really annoying.
[21:39] <schuyler_> can anyone help me with a freezing problem?
[21:39] <DaveDixonII> One quick question
[21:39] <_dbd_l12> schuyler: we can try
[21:39] <Mists> "Invalid mount option when attempting to mount the volume"
[21:39] <schuyler_> i just disabled a driver that might be causing the problem but i'd rather have it working.
[21:39] <PryMaL> schuyler_ - its likely hardware
[21:40] <schuyler_> that doesn't make sense, because vista has NEVER crashed on me.
[21:40] <DaveDixonII> if you compile something, can you just delete the folder to remove it or do you have to uninstall it?
[21:40] <PryMaL> makes sense to me... Vista just uses all your resources so youd never notice the pc running slow :)
[21:40] <PryMaL> schuyler_ is there any consistency to when it crashes?
[21:40] <nabuco> is there a way I can set my desktop to 256 colours? I want to runn a proram which crashes with a deep higher than tha
[21:41] <zender595> i have installed ubuntu eee on my 1000h and i don;t know what i should start with to upgraded it to this kernel: http://www.array.org/ubuntu/
[21:41] <schuyler_> nope, always random. i'll even leave it just sitting there for 5 or 10 minutes and i'll find it crashed again.
[21:41] <schuyler_> it's a fresh install on a Dell XPS M1530
[21:42] <PryMaL> schuyler_ download memtest and run it overnight one night
[21:42] <schuyler_> and the driver for the video was "Proprietary Software" so apparently that can cause problems with performance (?) i just disabled that driver.
[21:42]  * PryMaL thinks you have a ram problem
[21:42] <morth_> Odd question but What is everyones sleeping patterns like?
[21:42] <Mists> JohnFlux: I had to do this from root correct? When I do "su" and put in my password it says it is incorrect. "Su: Auth. Failure"
[21:42] <PryMaL> morth_ who sleeps?!
[21:42] <Doc8404> wtf lol
[21:42] <_dbd_l12> PryMal: when it crashes -- try pressing ctrl+alt+f6 -- log in -- type 'top' to try to find the offending process - kill it -- press ctrl+alt+f7 to return to gnome/kde/xfe/...
[21:42] <schuyler_> okay what would cause the ram problem?
[21:42] <Doc8404> i sleep about what 6 hours a night
[21:42] <morth_> what time do you sleep and wake up
[21:42] <blood> twig in the spokes
[21:43] <jarco> doesnt apache on ubuntu use httpd.conf? i find only content in apache2.conf
[21:43] <morth_> PryMaL hehe true that
[21:43] <Doc8404> midnight to six am why
[21:43] <PryMaL> work time - bye
[21:43] <morth_> i used to sleep during the day but now that im back in school i cant but i want to continue my odd hours of computers at 1-5am
[21:43] <Guest70991> Hi guys - I'm trying to setup ssh on ubuntu and am having a little trouble.  When I attempt to ssh from local network it's no problem, but when I try and access via external ip no joy...think I've got my firewall and router setup right though.  When I ssh to my ip it doesn't say connection refused or anything, just hangs and doesn't prompt for password.  Any experts?
[21:43] <schuyler_> any other suggestions to my freezing system?
[21:43] <nspyr> jarco: i think it might be different
[21:44] <Mists> Does anyone know why it won't let me login to su?
[21:44] <PryMaL> Guest70991 have you port forwarded port 22 to the internal IP?
[21:44] <Mists> It keeps giving me auth failure
[21:44] <Tundrayeti312> schuyler_: Do your system logs provide any insight?
[21:44] <schuyler_> how may i access those?
[21:44] <xiamx> guys, what scripts for irssi do you use?   suggest me some good scripts
[21:44] <PryMaL> Mists you should be able to do anything you need via sudo
[21:45] <Mists> I'm trying to mount my USB.
[21:45] <Mists> But it says I must be in root too.
[21:45] <zender595> i have installed ubuntu eee on my 1000h and i don;t know what i should start with to upgraded it to this kernel: http://www.array.org/ubuntu/
[21:45] <Tundrayeti312> schuyler_: in /var/logs ... or GUI ... system->administration->system logs i believe
[21:45] <crazychenz> anyone know what the configparams file is?
[21:45] <xiamx> hannel | Important, please type /msg ubottu etiquette |
[21:45] <blood> sudo
[21:45] <Guest70991> PryMal: In my router?  Pretty sure I've set it up right.  Have created a service called openSSH on port 22 and have setup firewall rule to allow inbound connections and forward to <IP_ADDRESS>
[21:45] <schuyler_> Tundrayeti312, what would I be looking for?
[21:45] <_dbd_l12> Mists: you're (temporary) root when you use sudo
[21:46] <Mists> Ok, thanks
[21:46] <Tundrayeti312> schuyler_: Any warnings or messages or errors that would indicate a problem...
[21:46] <crazychenz> i keep seeing hints for compiling glibc 2.7 on hardy and they all suggest creating a configparams, but before doing this I wanted to know where this configparams file is being read from....
[21:47] <m1dn1ght> PryMaL - sorry - didn't realise I had a guest nick
[21:48] <DavidCanarias> Is it possible to burn my Ubuntu Hardy program to CD for safety as I don't have a copy. Anyone know how to do this plse?
[21:48] <danbh_intrepid> m1dn1ght: I tried to connect to your computer, and I couldn't
[21:48] <schuyler_> I can't see anything apparent in my system logs...
[21:49] <Sergiu> how to restart network in ubuntu?
[21:49] <m1dn1ght> danbh_intrepid: yep.  by reckoning I've set it up right, so not sure where I'm going wrong
[21:49] <kevinO> hello why does the  "uptime" command show the system as having 2 users logged on?
[21:50] <_dbd_l12> sergiu: /etc/init.d/networking restart
[21:50] <Car1o> has anyone ever had a problem with a notebook touchpad not working with ubuntu?
[21:50] <danbh_intrepid> m1dn1ght: Im using: telnet your_ip 22        and its just hanging.     I'm not very experienced at this, so I don't know if that is a valid test, but I would think that it is
[21:50] <schuyler_> yeah comparing the logs up until the crash with the logs up until now, there's no difference.
[21:50] <schuyler_> so no error messages seem to be making it to the log (?)
[21:51] <schuyler_> however I think I might've found the problem already...
[21:51] <Mists> I've done: sudo mkdir flashdrive  Then: sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/flash drive   BUT it said the mount point could not be found.
[21:51] <m1dn1ght> danbh_intrepid: yeah - it's hanging for me too.  just wish I knew why.
[21:51] <schuyler_> is there any way the "proprietary software" I had to install for my video card could cause my laptop to crash?
[21:51] <AlLnAtuRalX> .server chatnet
[21:51] <schuyler_> because I disabled it and now it's running fine up until this point....not too sure yet though.
[21:52] <nnull> ok ubuntu just logged me out byitself.. where can i find why it did this.... ?
[21:52] <Tundrayeti312> schuyler_: It is a possibility... describe the crash
[21:52] <schuyler_> screen doesn't move, keyboard, and mouse unresponsive.
[21:52] <danbh_intrepid> m1dn1ght: well, I suspect its router issue.  can you connect to your self?  via localhost?
[21:52] <schuyler_> i can only restart it through a hard poweroff
[21:53] <schuyler_> however there was a CD in the drive once and I was able to eject it after the system had crashed.
[21:53] <Tundrayeti312> what if you try ctl+alt+backspace?
[21:53] <schuyler_> so it could be related to the GUI?
[21:53] <etesla> I'm running HH on a laptop, and I'm having a problem with interlacing and flickering on my desktop. Console doesn't have the problem. Also, the login prompt is the wrong resolution (way too big), but the desktop is correctly sized. I checked the refresh rate and size via the Screen Resolution tool, and it's set correctly to 800x480 at 60 Hz. Any idea how I could fix this?
[21:53] <Tundrayeti312> schuyler_: Does is freeze after it goes into screen-saver mode?
[21:54] <schuyler_> no, it can freeze before ever entering screen saver
[21:54] <_sarahh> could someone advice me of a page for installing resin 2.1.7a with apache 1.3
[21:54] <danbh_intrepid> etesla: I can help with the oversized login resolution.  Is that your only problem?
[21:54] <Sergiu> can anyone remember me, how to lunch from terminal the tool that configure the screen resolution, refrash rate ...?
[21:55] <schuyler_> the "proprietary software" that was installed previously that might be the cause is "NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver (latest cards)"
[21:55] <etesla> danbh_intrepid: No, I'm also experiencing flickering/interlacing once I'm logged in (but not at the login time).
[21:55] <noodlesgc> Sergiu displayconfig-gtk?
[21:56] <_sarahh> could someone please advice me of a page for installation of resin and apache.. pretty please :$
[21:56] <Sergiu> noodlesgc, yes, but it seems this tool is not available on ubuntu 8.10 .. ?:) the terminal says that command is not found
[21:56] <_dbd_l12> Mists: did you name the directory flash_(space)_drive ? Then you should do sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/flash\ drive
[21:56] <sat70> hi all
[21:56] <danbh_intrepid> etesla: can you pastebin your xorg.conf?
[21:56] <Stevenie> hi everyone
[21:56] <sat70> someone has an dell inspiron 6400?
[21:56] <danbh_intrepid> Sergiu: #ubuntu+1 for 8.10 help
[21:56] <Stevenie> can someone help me setup the wireless on my macbook pro
[21:56] <xomp> !repeat > _sarahh
[21:57] <etesla> danbh_intrepid: I'm not certain what that means, but if you point me to instructions, I will. :)
[21:57] <sat70> nobody?
[21:57] <BlueEagle> !resin
[21:58] <BlueEagle> hmm..
[21:58] <noodlesgc> !ask | sat70
[21:58] <schuyler_> Tundrayeti312, Should I just bite the bullet and not use the NVIDIA driver since it seems to be the cause of my crashing, or is there a way to fix this problem?
[21:58] <sat70> okay
[21:58] <danbh_intrepid> etesla: sudo apt-get install pastebinit && cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit
[21:58] <danbh_intrepid> etesla: post the link in chat
[21:59] <B3z3rk3r> hey all
[21:59] <krzd> i dont'g etting my bluetooth mouse and keyboard conencted witz bluez, it tries to conenct, but after a while bluez just close itselfs and don't connect. normally i hav eto enter a pw on the keyboard and pc, but also this is not, waht can i do?
[21:59] <Tundrayeti312> schuyler_: I really don't have enough info ( or expertise ) to answer that.  After a crash what does ctl+alt+backspace do?
[21:59] <etesla> danbh_intrepid: Sure thing. Standby. :)
[21:59] <schuyler_> I never tried Ctrl + Alt + Backspace... I'm used to Ctrl + Alt + Del lol
[22:00] <Tundrayeti312> schuyler_: I mean, if you don't need the nVidia driver for 3d graphices and you think its the problem, then maybe i would get rid of it... what kind of laptop?
[22:00] <BlueEagle> _sarahh: http://www.caucho.com/resin/doc/install-apache.xtp
[22:00] <schuyler_> Tundrayeti312, Dell XPS M1530
[22:01] <_dbd_l12> schuyler: ctrl+alt+backspace restarts X ... You should really try the ctrl-alt-f6 (login) - top route to try to find the offending process
[22:01] <schuyler_> It uses an nVIDIA graphics card
[22:01] <_sarahh> thx..
[22:01] <sat70> i have an dell ispiron 6400 but i cant start wifi with module ipw3945 he return error dont find the the perif
[22:01] <dysje> anyone here experienced with wpa_supplicant and ndiswrapper in hardy?
[22:01] <chamuscas> every time i start an exe aplication i always get overlapped sreens with wine, i already tried some stuff but i'm always getting the same problem =/
[22:01] <schuyler_> _dbd_l12, thank you, I'll remember that if I run into the problem again
[22:01] <BlueEagle> _sarahh: it's in the resin documentation tbh.
[22:01] <BlueEagle> !compile
[22:02] <etesla> danbh_intrepid: http://pastebin.com/f7d26782b
[22:02] <BlueEagle> _sarahh: You might want to read that as installing resin will require compiling of software as far as I could read from the docs.
[22:02] <noodlesgc> chamuscas are they 3D applications? do you have desktop effects on?
[22:02] <temmer> is there any way to download *all* the files on a website using wget?
[22:02] <Tundrayeti312> _dbd_l12: What should he look for as an offending process?
[22:03] <BlueEagle> temmer: I think there's a "mirror" option in the man page.
[22:03] <schuyler_> I'll look at the documentation for nVIDIA drivers causing X to crash since I just found a lot of resources that talked about this problem.
[22:03] <chamuscas> noodlesgc, well i have the intermedium thing and yes they are 3d aplication more specifically sim city 4
[22:03] <sat70> i cant start wifi on my dell inspiron 6400 on ubuntu 7.04 feisty
[22:03] <schuyler_> However my other problem is my wireless card...It doesn't seem to be functioning, could anyone help with that?
[22:03] <_dbd_l12> Tundrayeti312: everything that eats cpu or mem / lots of processes when "crashed" and logged into runlevel 6 (or 5)
[22:03] <schuyler_> Again, I run a Dell XPS M1530 with an Intel 3945 ABG Wireless card
[22:04] <temmer> BlueEagle: okay thanks
[22:04]  * Eluxzen is away: Away
[22:04] <noodlesgc> chamuscas this is a known issue, if you have 3D applications with desktop effects, they do not stay in their window.
[22:04] <Stevenie> can anyone help me set up the wireless? I just installed ubuntu on my macbook pro. the wireless connection is weird. I can't connect to any network which require password. please help!:-D
[22:04] <sat70> what module do you use?
[22:04] <ompaul> !away > Eluxzen
[22:04] <chamuscas> moodlesgc, i already tried to start the program without beeing in fullscreen or tell the aplication to star in 2024x768 but it always appears two screens =/
[22:05] <Dada_> Hi there :) What's the last version of Ubuntu I can use with PPC? Is it recommended to use Debian instead (from features/security point of view)?
[22:05] <chamuscas> noodlesgc, so what are the solutions, i already tried a bunch of things
[22:05] <noodlesgc> chamuscas try turning desktop effects off
[22:05] <temmer> BlueEagle: sweet :)
[22:05] <Dada_> !ppc | Dada_
[22:06] <BlueEagle> temmer: The manual usually is.
[22:06] <Dillizar> i have problem with /def/dsp and /def/audio
[22:06] <chamuscas> noodlesgc, ok i'll try that
[22:06] <richcollins> http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/l/linux/linux-libc-dev_2.6.24-19.34_amd64.deb (404)
[22:06] <_dbd_l12> Dada: the 8.04 release (hardy) see http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/hardy/release/
[22:06] <johnflux_> hey all
[22:06] <richcollins> How do I change the source for aptitude?
[22:07] <schuyler_> Anyone? I'm having wireless problems on my Dell XPS M1530 with an Intel 3945 ABG wireless network card.
[22:07] <chamuscas> noodlegsc, do i turn of desktop affect of ubuntu or wine, the second one i just don't know how to do :p
[22:07] <johnflux_> I just upgraded to 8.10  and now kdm doesn't load :-)
[22:07] <Dillizar> !dsp
[22:07] <johnflux_> X starts up and I see a nice swirly background
[22:07] <johnflux_> but that's it
[22:07] <Dada_> _dbd_l12: are the repos well maintained for PPC?
[22:07] <johnflux_> just a swirly background and nothing else
[22:07] <noodlesgc> chamuscas just do to system->preferences->appearences->visual effects, and set it to none
[22:08] <chamuscas> ok
[22:08] <Tundrayeti312> johnflux_: Well either your xorg.conf got hosed, or there was a video card update that broke things
[22:08] <Tundrayeti312> video card driver*
[22:08] <Dada_> Anyway, thanks, I'll get this one :-)
[22:08] <chamuscas> noodlesgc, already done that what now :p

[22:09] <BlueEagle> Runes: How is the printer connected to the network?
[22:09] <Eluxzen> :-/
[22:09] <BlueEagle> Runes: is it shared via a computer (ie windows machine sharing printer) or does it have a dedicated network card?
[22:09] <Runes> dysje: I have the lexmark e250dn I am trying to install there was a .deb package for 3.1 but after the install it was missing the correct printer model and also failing to load a queue
[22:09] <iforigua> sorry reconfigure the quick launch buttons

[22:16] <_sarahh> is there someone who wants to assist me with ubuntu .. payment for your time ofcourse... installing apache and resin..?
[22:16] <chamuscas> Tundrayeti321, yeh sure, the screen i have split's into two and they are not focused, some people told me to try start the wine in a window instead of a fullscreen but it didn't worked
[22:16] <Tundrayeti312> Stevenie: I would suggest using google, ubuntuforums, im sure someone has done the same thing you have and ran into the same problem
[22:17] <richcollins> Why isn't ubuntu looking in /usr/local/lib for shared libraries?
[22:17] <dysje> Runes: make a google search for lexmark e250 ppd, you'll see there's a file for download. Install the printer using the ubuntu printer install app, then tell ubuntu to use that ppd file.
[22:17] <Evan_> hey um, can anyone help me? ...i tried to use a new usplash theme and now i dont get a usplash at all
[22:17] <Dillizar> can any body gimme the comand to re install the sound driver?
[22:17] <jey> hi
[22:17] <jey> !list
[22:17] <soundray> _sarahh: for paid support, go to Canonical
[22:17] <Stevenie> Tundrayeti312:okay
[22:17] <soundray> !canonical > _sarahh
[22:17] <richcollins> and is there a way to get it to without using LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[22:17] <Tundrayeti312>  chamuscas: Hmmm.. what game(s)?
[22:17] <Runes> dysje: thanx!
[22:17] <x-ip> richcollins, look up echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[22:18] <chamuscas> Tundrayeti312, simcity 4 and chessmaster XI
[22:18] <richcollins> x-ip: It is empty
[22:18] <DigitalFiz> i installed kubuntu-desktop and when it was installing it asked what my default wm should be and i chose gnome how can i switch it to kde to play with it?
[22:18] <x-ip> richcollins, try to set a path to that global var with export
[22:18] <Tux2K8> when it type ifconf , one of the things i see is 'HWaddr' , is this MAC Address?
[22:18] <Tundrayeti312> chamuscas: Hmm very strange problem.. you could try the #wine channel... Are those programs listed as supported by Wine in AppdB?
[22:18] <BlueEagle> _sarahh: What, in particular is causing ailments?
[22:18] <soundray> DigitalFiz: at the login screen, click on Options. Choose KDE from Sessions
[22:19] <richcollins> x-ip: I would rather not set up the environment for each process that will run things that link to /usr/local/lib
[22:19] <CaptainMorgan> can anyone recommend how to fix a laptop that freezes upon closing the lid, which then needs a reboot- running 8.04, with all Visual Effects to None, Power Management and Screensaver settings are set to Blank Screen....
[22:19] <DigitalFiz> ok awesome ty
[22:19] <richcollins> Is there a way other than LD_LIBRARY_PATH
[22:19] <ejer> Tux2K8: yep
[22:19] <Tundrayeti312> CaptainMorgan: What kind of laptop?
[22:19] <Tux2K8> ejer : 10x
[22:19] <richcollins> ah /etc/ld.so.conf
[22:19] <wizzer> any reason why amarok just decides files on another hard drive don't exist when it wants to?
[22:19] <CaptainMorgan> I recall it having to do with the flgrx driver... but I've forgotten how to fix it...... Tundrayeti312 IBM Thinkpad T60, ATI X1300
[22:19] <x-ip> richcollins, i dont know 'other way' but doesnt understand why u should set up this env for each process ...
[22:20] <BlueEagle> wizzer: if this other drive has not been mounted then they technically don't exist.
[22:20] <x-ip> u mean, because you have some process run by different users i think ...
[22:20] <wizzer> well it is mounted
[22:20] <richcollins> x-ip: apache will have a www user
[22:20] <x-ip> yeap ... i got the point
[22:20] <wizzer> and they will work for awhile, then amarok just says they don't randomly
[22:20] <chamuscas> Tundraeyeti312, i don't know i didn't know about that list, but already checked the ubuntu file about wine , and wine rrom but tanks a lot :)
[22:20] <Reenen> lo all, for some reason I can't build pioneers...
[22:20] <BlueEagle> wizzer: If the drive is mounted with permissions that don't allow the user who uses amarok doesn't have then also they don't exist.
[22:20] <richcollins> x-ip: Looks liek I can modify /etc/ld.so.conf and run ldconfig
[22:20] <wizzer> so then i go through, and re add all the songs and it works
[22:20] <chamuscas> #winehq
[22:21] <chamuscas> oops
[22:21] <_dbd_l12> Evan_: see if the file /boot/grub/menu.lst contains a the term "quiet"
[22:21] <BlueEagle> wizzer: That sounds odd...
[22:21] <CaptainMorgan> xorg shows that the "Device" has one line: "Configured Video Driver"
[22:21] <wizzer> yeah
[22:21] <x-ip> richcollins, yep, i forget that
[22:21] <x-ip> richcollins, thats what u need
[22:21] <x-ip> =)
[22:21] <dlisboa> hei, anyone know of a good audio editing software (like SoundForge and the likes)
[22:21] <Reenen> audacity?
[22:21] <Tundrayeti312> CaptainMorgan: I have a HP pavillion w nVidia.. if the screen saver starts i have to restartX using ctl+alt+backspace ... ive never looked into it... perhaps part of the problem w/ proprietary drivers *shrug*
[22:21] <Azhi_Dahaka> hi
[22:21] <ejer> audacity dlisboa and ardour for more complex recording
[22:21] <Azhi_Dahaka> Me, once again
[22:21] <BlueEagle> wizzer: Ofcourse it would help if you told us which type of drive and which file system the files exist on.
[22:21] <dysje> Runes: don't forget to store the ppd file in a safe place, it might be hard to find in a few years or so, if you ever need it then
[22:22] <dlisboa> ejer: thanks
[22:22] <wizzer> um
[22:22] <dysje> lexmark already removed it
[22:22] <dysje> could anyone pleaseeeeee help me with me wireless?
[22:22] <wizzer> western digital 200 gig, with windows installed on that one
[22:22] <CaptainMorgan> Tundrayeti312, I'm having a difficult time researching it through google... all sorts of information spawns never leading to what I need.... I have a T61 which I was able to configure properly.... like I said previously, I've forgotten how I did that..
[22:22] <etesla> danbh_intrepid: Is there any other information I can provide?
[22:22] <BlueEagle> !wireless
[22:22] <wizzer> but i mounted it with ubuntu
[22:22] <CaptainMorgan> Tundrayeti312, thanks though
[22:22] <Azhi_Dahaka> question: How can i share some files with an XP computer?
[22:22] <dysje> like i haven't read that BlueEagle
[22:22] <BlueEagle> wizzer: ntfs file system?
[22:23] <KlrSpz> Azhi_Dahaka: over the network?
[22:23] <wizzer> as far as i know
