[04:28] <rexy_> check the mirrors :P
[04:28] <davetarmac> I tried looking at it in GParted, but it tells me that it is locked
[04:29] <FFForever> rexy_, none of them seem to have tribe 5....
[04:29] <l3r377> gparted worked on mine, make sure you have it unmounted?
[04:29] <rexy_> hmm did you check the tribe dev forum on ubuntuforums.org maybe there is a link/torrent in there
[04:29] <rexy_> HyperCity: my 6600 GT gets 5750 average
[04:30] <blix> so what do I have to unmount?
[04:30] <stefg> davetarmac: you need to unmount it. The simplest way would be just to use the command line and enter 2 or three commands
[04:30] <davetarmac> l3r337: yes - it was still mounted (silly me). Apparently I can't make it ntfs though. Any ideas?
[04:30] <Geek_> HazTheSpaz: done?
[04:31] <HazTheSpaz> Geek_: i have no ideo what tar zxvf /path/to/file.tar.gz
[04:31] <blix> I'm trying to either split my primary
[04:31] <arun> Is there a GNOME equivalent to Korganizer?
[04:31] <stefg> davetarmac: why would you want it to be ntfs?
[04:31] <Geek_> ....
[04:31] <blix> or format the whole thing
[04:31] <blix> being ext3 sucks
[04:31] <HyperCity> rexy_: on what screen res?
[04:31] <HazTheSpaz> Here, wait up
[04:31] <davetarmac> stefg: because it'll be going in a windows machine
[04:31] <Geek_> HazTheSpaz: its a command. if you don't work that out you REALLY shouldn't be compiling things. also, do you have the build essential package installed?
[04:31] <HazTheSpaz> Geek_:  /home/thomas/Desktop/screenlets-0.0.10.tar.bz2, thats the location
[04:31] <l3r377> hyper, im on a 5900ultra and im pushing 12-18k fps
[04:32] <HazTheSpaz> yes
[04:32] <stefg> davetarmac: so format it with a windows tool. Linux doesn't understand ntfs too well
[04:32] <HazTheSpaz> Geek_: i have that
[04:32] <SliMM> i have some problems with my keyboard
[04:32] <Geek_> HazTheSpaz: so it should be tar (all those letters)  /home/thomas/Desktop/screenlets-0.0.10.tar.bz2
[04:32] <marcotmarcot> Hello, is there a command to know in which encoding a file is?
[04:32] <davetarmac> stefg: is there a way to do it in windows? I thought GParted could handle it
[04:32] <SliMM> several buttons don't work
[04:32] <marcotmarcot> UTF-8 or latin1?
[04:32] <HyperCity> l3r377: there is something wrong with my card
[04:33] <HyperCity> any ideea?
[04:33] <rexy_> HyperCity: 1280x1024, but glxgears doesnt work that way, it just runs a simple 3d rendering as fast as possible. if you want to compare cards run some different timedemos of games and see what they give
[04:33] <l3r377> hyper, i think you just dont have the proper drivers
[04:33] <l3r377> what dist you on?
[04:33] <stefg> davetarmac: indeed windows is able to format drives (and this is required quite often, as i might add). Help with windows is in ##windows
[04:33] <HyperCity> l3r377: ubuntu
[04:34] <Sivik> HyperCity, normally, if the glxgears has your fps above 1k, the drivers are installed correctly
[04:34] <Johto>
[04:34] <arun> anyone?
[04:34] <davetarmac> stefg: I am familiar with formatting in windows - lord knows i had to do it enough times. Just wondering if there are any tools I can use in linux to sort it
[04:34] <blix> Does anyone know how I can create an additional partition from a primary partition?
[04:34] <Johto> davetarmac: yes, just read up the basics of linux, then u know
[04:35] <stefg> davetarmac: no. ntfs is proprietary. MS doesn't tell the specs, so there's no tools in Linux for that
[04:35] <Johto> davetarmac: its more than just one command, commands depends of your wanted filesystem etc..
[04:35] <alexandre>  does anyone know how to make my ati 9100 igp compatible with directdraw
[04:35] <davetarmac> stefg: ok, thanks. guess I'll have to boot in to Vista then. Thanks for the help
[04:36] <Johto> vista :O
[04:36] <blix> lol
[04:36] <Johto> puke
[04:36] <blix> I just wiped off vista :P
[04:36] <rexy_> alexandre: do you need it for a game
[04:36] <Johto> blix: nice
[04:36] <blix> although I have windows XP
[04:36] <blix> which I do need :-S
[04:36] <alexandre> yes
[04:36] <Geek_> XP was the nicest of the windows OSes ;)
[04:36] <alexandre> ageofempire3
[04:36] <blix> and trying to install right now
[04:36] <alexandre> ageofempire2
[04:36] <Johto> i have vista ultimate leagal full license from work, i havent even bothered to install that crap
[04:36] <alexandre> sorry
[04:37] <blix> yeah Vista is just too slow
[04:37] <Adnan_> linux pwns all
[04:37] <Johto> i will swithc to Mac for my next machine
[04:37] <stefg> !windows
[04:37] <ubotu> For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[04:37] <blix> I have a fast enough machine,..but just uses too much resources
[04:37] <Johto> no windows for me anymore plase, used it from the days of dos + win 3.1
[04:37] <rexy_> alexandre: you need to check if you installed the ati proprietary drivers, and then you can use wine to play games, if your particular game is supported by wine you can check on the wine website
[04:37] <blix> I just need Windows for certain games
[04:37] <zendo> Hi. I have samo program (not in package form) file/directory structure, that I need to put in /usr/local, but since there are a lot directories and files, I would like to have a record of what is copied where in case I decide to remove it. My question is: how can I make some rudimentary deb package out of some directory so I can install it in regular way?
[04:38] <Adnan_> linux = so freaking sweet, non bloated, fast, reliable, no need for reboots when installing/uninstalling progs or drivers, support for package exportation with current settings to send to friends etc freaking pwns so much
[04:38] <bo1> can some1 help me
[04:38] <Johto> i'm tired of seeing the windows being this stack of cards, very poorly done
[04:38] <blix> all my dev, surfing, etc...I'll do in Ubuntu now
[04:38] <stefg> Can we have the windows discussion in #ubuntu-offtopic or anywhere. This is the ubuntu support channel
[04:38] <alexandre> i checked and the game is supported by wine
[04:38] <blix> ok..no more windows!
[04:38] <rexy_> !ask |bo
[04:38] <ubotu> bo: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:38] <blix> Ok maybe someone can help me out
[04:38] <Johto> i mean, if you look around, WINDOWS is the ODD BALL, everything else is *nix systems, linux, bsd, solaris, osx, u name it :D
[04:38] <blix> I have an ext3 partition..
[04:39] <Johto> REAL operative systems :D
[04:39] <blix> I need part of the partition to be fat32
[04:39] <Geek_> Johto: i donno, i find the text oriented design of *nix rather quaint.
[04:39] <Adnan_> Johto, you're wrong Windows still accquires 90% of all desktop systems
[04:39] <blix> for windows :-o
[04:39] <Johto> Geek_: have you used OSX?
[04:39] <alexandre> i installed the game and i went perfect but when i start the game i have a message telling me:
[04:39] <alexandre> "Could not initialize graphics system. Make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw"
[04:39] <l3r377> i got sick of windows and consoles, so now i just play games that run through wine >.X
[04:39] <blix> using qtparted right now
[04:39] <Johto> Geek_: have you used MS-DOS ?
[04:39] <Geek_> Johto: when i had no other choice, yes ;)
[04:39] <l3r377> what game alex?
[04:39] <alexandre> ageofempire2
[04:39] <alexandre> on wine
[04:39] <rexy_> blix you can resize a partition, and leave the free space, the windows installation process can use that and partition and format that on it's own
[04:39] <bo1> WHO HERE CAN HELP ME?
[04:39] <stefg> blix:you'll have to split the partition. you can only have one filesystem on a partition
[04:39] <blix> and c&c3 players?
[04:40] <Adnan_> bo1, what's your problem?
[04:40] <rexy_> !ask bo1
[04:40] <Geek_> Johto: certainly. i've also used palm, and have been trying to get be and OS/2 working
[04:40] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ask bo1 - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[04:40] <alexandre> im not sure if the drivers are the good one
[04:40] <stefg> !caps | bo1
[04:40] <ubotu> bo1: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too.
[04:40] <rexy_> !ask |bo1
[04:40] <ubotu> bo1: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[04:40] <blix> rexy....ok..
[04:40] <Geek_> bo1: we can't read your mine. whats the issue?
[04:40] <Johto> Geek_: nothing wrong with the command line...
[04:40] <Geek_> *mid
[04:40] <Johto> Geek_: keyboard is your friend :D
[04:40] <blix> let me check qtparted.
[04:40] <axz> hi people
[04:40] <bo1> MY harddrive is read only>>>>>>>>>>>>>
[04:40] <zendo> I need to make deb package out of directory that consists of many directories and files, so I can install it and then remove it without having to manually keep log of what's and where changed. Can someone please tell me how to quickly do this?
[04:40] <Adnan_> bo1, what do you mean?
[04:41] <FFForever> Geek_, isn't\ it mind :D
[04:41] <jisatsu> is it possible to fsck the /home partition without rebooting?
[04:41] <blix> mmm, not too obvious how qtparted splits a partition....
[04:41] <adaran> what kind of voodoo does one have to do to get the jack plugin of alsa to work?
[04:41] <Johto> jisatsu: hmm
[04:41] <arun> does anyone know of a good calendar application for gnome?
[04:41] <blix> I will be right back.
[04:41] <Johto> Jimbob: maybe not
[04:41] <bo1> my hard drive is read only i cant change anything on my hardrive
[04:41] <Geek_> Johto: no, not command line. In *nix everything is assumed to be a flat text file or folder. I kinda think it might be logical to extend that to objects
[04:41] <stefg> bo1: yeahm that's an anti-tinkering security measure ... :-)
[04:41] <rexy_> alexandre: type glxinfo | grep vendor in a console
[04:41] <vanberge> any way to 'force' refresh rates?  i have an LCD that gnome is pushign at 56
[04:41] <rexy_> that should say what driver is installed i think
[04:41] <Adnan_> bo1,  you running ubuntu on your hdd yea?
[04:41] <Geek_> bo1: whole HDD? what FS?
[04:41] <Johto> Jimbob: i use XFS filesystem so need to "fsck" :D
[04:41] <bo1> noo
[04:41] <l3r377> has anyone gotten compiz-fusion to keep the settings this weekend? it keeps wiping my "move window" plugin to not being selected (and a few others)

[04:42] <icone> hey guys !!!     need a litle help here .... already late to a project :(      I have apache-ssl,   php5,  mysql5  installed on my system, but when I try to open one php file (ex: https://localhost/index.php)  and the browser just returns the file as a download ... I think it's missconfigured or something ... :(
[04:42] <Johto> vanberge: isnt it depending on graphic card driver setting ?
[04:42] <rexy_> icone, you have to set your mime types
[04:42] <Geek_> bo1: well? :)
[04:42] <Adnan_> bo1: try to be a little more descriptive rather than throwing out three letter words each time
[04:42] <vanberge> stefg, not my res...  refresh rate.  resolution is fine
[04:42] <rexy_> and associate the php interpreter with php extensions
[04:42] <zendo> anyone, please?
[04:42] <vanberge> Johto,  i dont know...  :-)
[04:42] <icone> rexy_   ok, i'll try
[04:42] <vanberge> Johto, but, it only lets me pick 56
[04:42] <bo1> adnan_ can u help me
[04:43] <soulrider> hello everyone. Im trying to dpkg --configure initramfs-tools for my new kernel, but my /boot partition is full. I cannot remove any older kernels, i only have ht eone im running and th eone im trying to config. Any ideas?
[04:43] <stefg> vanberge: refresh rate is part of the resolution. You need to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf , see the guide for a howto
[04:43] <rexy_> actually not sure on the mime type, they should be set already anyway, but you have to tell apache to use the php interpreter on php extensions and such
[04:43] <alexandre> rexy_:http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35114/
[04:43] <Geek_> bo1: no one can help you without more details
[04:43] <Johto> vanberge: oh, what gfx card?
[04:43] <Adnan_> bo1: just like Geek_ said
[04:43] <rexy_> !ati | me
[04:43] <ubotu> me: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[04:44] <vanberge> Johto, nvidia 6200 geforce fx
[04:44] <bo1> i have a hard drive that i made 4 partions. all of my partions are read only and i cant change anything
[04:44] <Johto> vanberge: and you have installed drivers?
[04:44] <Geek_> bo1: we arn't psycic, and we need to know a few things before we can *try* to work out whats wrong. What Filesystem, is it the whole drive, or what partitions of how many...
[04:44] <Geek_> hmm
[04:44] <vanberge> Johto, yep
[04:44] <Adnan_> bo1: what file system are they?
[04:44] <Geek_> lets see...
[04:44] <Johto> vanberge: you need to edit somethning in the xorg.conf
[04:44] <rexy_> alexandre: what you get from running glxgears?
[04:44] <Geek_> bo1: is your ubuntu install one of the partitions?
[04:44] <Johto> vanberge: cant help more, but make sure you make a backup of the xorg.conf
[04:44] <bo1> am useing live cd and i have 4 partions
[04:44] <push> can anyone help me install my nvidia 8600 gts
[04:44] <Sjano> hello
[04:45] <Adnan_> LOL!!!!!!!
[04:45] <Geek_> bo1: what FS are the partitions?
[04:45] <Geek_> waaaaiitttt
[04:45] <alexandre> rexy_:about 650 FPS
[04:45] <bo1> what is that
[04:45] <soulrider> hello everyone. Im trying to dpkg --configure initramfs-tools for my new kernel, but my /boot partition is full. I cannot remove any older kernels, i only have ht eone im running and th eone im trying to config. Any ideas?
[04:45] <Geek_> liveCD shouldn't write to partition by default
[04:45] <vanberge> Johto, .... ok.  tks !
[04:45] <Adnan_> bo1: type this in the terminal fdisk /dev/sda then type p and press enter
[04:45] <Geek_> if you wanna INSTALL, there's a way to do it, but thats seperate...
[04:45] <rexy_> alexandre i just looked in the atibinaryhowto, but it seems your card is not supported, so the approriate driver is already installed
[04:45] <bo1> can how can i change the partion 2 write
[04:45] <stefg> soulrider: how big is your /boot?
[04:46] <pzmk> siema
[04:46] <soulrider> 32mb
[04:46] <Geek_> Adnan_: yanno, i almost suspected that was the issue ;p
[04:46] <zendo> Is there some graphical tool like in Windows, for making deb packages?
[04:46] <alexandre> rexy_: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35115/
[04:46] <Adnan_> Geek_: lol i see
[04:46] <bo1> so how can i change my partions permission settings 2 write?
[04:46] <Sjano> ehm... i've been asking around abit... and people say ubuntu is easiest linux distro to start with... but i wondered what programs should i get and how do i install them? and how do i install compiz fusion
[04:46] <Adnan_> bo1: Take a look at the parition table and it will tell you all you need to know then you can tell us what file systems each one of your partitions are
[04:47] <rexy_> alexandre: seems fine, did you try runnin ageofempire 2 with wine ?
[04:47] <Geek_> Sjano: what programmes to get should be what programmes you need ;). as for compiz...
[04:47] <soulrider> !software | Sjano
[04:47] <ubotu> Sjano: A general introduction to the ways software can be installed, removed and managed in Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoftwareManagement - See also !Packages, !Equivalents
[04:47] <stefg> soulrider: that's tight. you'll have to do someting about that anyway. so copy the complete /boot dir over to your /root (if it's not lvm or raid), and comment out the /boot entry in /etc/fstab and adjust grub
[04:47] <bullgard4> What is the role or function of 'IEC958' in AlsaMixer?
[04:47] <Geek_> !compiz-fusion > Sjano
[04:47] <alexandre> rexy_: yes, but i get the error about directDraw
[04:48] <soulrider> stefg: good idea.. i hadnt thought of that..
[04:48] <stefg> soulrider: I meant / , not /root, of course
[04:48] <axz> heys people i installed version 7.04 how to i upgrade to 7.10?
[04:48] <axz> by update?
[04:48] <soulrider> stefg: ill do that from my other installation
[04:48] <Adnan_> bo1: If you're still really confused to all this and are running from the live cd then just load the GUI installer and select "Guided - Use entire disk" that wat ubuntu will confiure your partitions without asking you anything else, and once done you should find your HDD is writeable indeed
[04:48] <Trist_an> hello all
[04:48] <bo1> HOW CAN I CHANGE MY PERMISSIONS OF MY HARD DISK TO READ AND WRITE?
[04:48] <soulrider> be right back :)
[04:48] <alexandre> rexy_: ERROR:   make sure that your video card and driver are compatible with DirectDraw

[04:49] <Geek_> Adnan_, bo1: using the guided/entire fisk will wipe the whole thing
[04:49] <rexy_> hmm can you check if this "glxinfo|grepdirect"  says yes
[04:49] <kibiak> do you speak french ?
[04:49] <Trist_an> I have a trouble with kmail. For some e-mails when I click on it the sender name change to Unknwon the date goes to 01-01-1970 and the mail is empty. If there was an attachment, the mail is still as big as if it were here but I can't open it
[04:49] <Adnan_> Geek_ I know, but it doesn;t sound like he has a lot to worry about since he just wants the OS installed on his HDD. Providing he doesn't have anythign important it should be ok
[04:50] <Trist_an> I speak french...
[04:50] <Karti> bo1: I believe that the live disk is a way to try the Linux system without damaging your disk.

[04:50] <Adnan_> Geek_: I don't know, he's not being too descriptive
[04:50] <Geek_> Adnan_: thats the big issue ;)
[04:50] <Adnan_> lol
[04:50] <alexandre> rexy_: unknown command
[04:50] <Geek_> Sjano: lots

[04:51] <Adnan_> LOOOOOL
[04:51] <Adnan_> oh dear
[04:51] <Karti> bo1: Which is why they are set to read only, not sure if you can do it with Kubuntu but you can set a persistant drive with Knoppix if that is what you are after
[04:51] <Sjano> thanks for the answers people

[04:53] <bo1> so somebody tellme how i can change the permissions setting to read and write of my hard disl
[04:54] <rexy_> alexandre: then i dont know why it doesnt work, ati's are notoir for having bad driver support, but i dont know if there's a workaround for this
[04:54] <clever> drrngrvy: same here
[04:54] <silvertip257> I'm using Dia to make diagrams, but when I save my diagrams to *.png format it displaces my diagram imgs.

[04:55] <clever> drrngrvy: i stole its wifi card for use in other things
[04:55] <drrngrvy> clever: how's that?
[04:55] <silvertip257> bo1:  can you please tell me what filesystems you are using (ex:  ext2, ext3, reiserfs, ntfs, fat32) ???
[04:55] <drrngrvy> does it work ok?
[04:55] <clever> drrngrvy: it has an internal wifi card
[04:55] <clever> wired*
[04:55] <clever> the ethernet card in the laptop works fine
[04:55] <Adnan_> bo1: is the parition you want to write to even mounted?
[04:55] <bo1> disk*
[04:55] <bo1> no]
[04:55] <Adnan_> bo1: what is disk* no?
[04:56] <drrngrvy> clever: the funny thing is before the upgrade I was struggling with my windows net connection but K/Ubuntu was super-stable; now it's the other way around
[04:56] <bo1> i didnt mount the disk
[04:56] <Adnan_> bo1: you need to tell us more or we can't help
[04:56] <Adnan_> bo1: mount it then
[04:56] <clever> drrngrvy: lol:)
[04:56] <drrngrvy> I'm just shocked it hasn't been sorted yet
[04:56] <clever> drrngrvy: i didnt have that wifi card on winblows
[04:56] <stefg> drrngrvy: get rid of avahi daemon and network-manager i f you don't use it
[04:56] <drrngrvy> what is an OS without stable net access?
[04:57] <clever> drrngrvy: my wifi driver also has a bug where it drops the last char of the essid
[04:57] <rexy_> safe :D
[04:57] <Meyvn> rexy_: heh
[04:57] <Geek_> drrngrvy: secure ;)
[04:57] <clever> drrngrvy: so if i try to connect to abcX i wind up on abc
[04:57] <drrngrvy> stefg: ahh. I only use network-manager to reset the connection when it breaks
[04:57] <Geek_> clever: add another charecter then? ;p
[04:57] <drrngrvy> Geek_: lol, yes. :)
[04:57] <clever> Geek_: yep thats what i do atm
[04:57] <clever> Geek_: but the gui tools cant be told to do that
[04:57] <clever> Geek_: if i pick a network from a list and hit connect it wont work
[04:58] <Geek_> clever: be thankful it isn't a ralink r61 ;)
[04:58] <clever> lol
[04:58] <bo1> i have a hard drive that i used for windows, my windows carshed, i have 4 partition and there all ntfs.
[04:58] <stefg> drrngrvy: use the tradidtional way with the network settings applet. network-manager is quite buggy, and avahi tends to do stupid things with /etc/reslv.conf
[04:58] <Geek_> broken on TWO oses
[04:58] <clever> its probly a simple off by 1 error in the source
[04:58] <clever> if i had the source i could probly fix the driver myself
[04:58] <Adnan_> bo1: you need to mount them than, ubuntu suports ntfs paritions
[04:58] <Karti> bo1: do you have a spare disk?
[04:58] <Adnan_> then*
[04:58] <rexy_> clever svn?
[04:58] <bo1> no
[04:59] <clever> rexy_: the kernel/drive source that ubuntu uses
[04:59] <clever> might be fixed in the svn i fetch:P
[04:59] <zlx-laptop> hey, every time i load ubuntu it comes up with "tty job control turned off" and I have to type modprobe piix then exit for it to load, is there any way of fixing this?
[04:59] <bo1> but it dont let me change the permission settings
[04:59] <rexy_> clever enable the src repository
[04:59] <clever> or might not be upgraded that far
[04:59] <clever> rexy_: yeah
[04:59] <Karti> Because if you are trying to get data off, I would suggest it would be easier to piggy back your current disk
[04:59] <clever> i allready have them enabled
[04:59] <clever> just need to get arround to apt-get source'ing the kernel and fixing it
[04:59] <rexy_> dont forget to submit a patch :)
[04:59] <Geek_> bo1: if a disk wasn't dismounted cleanly NTFS3-g may not be able to mount it
[04:59] <stefg> !ipv6 | drrngrvy, theis might help, too:
[04:59] <ubotu> drrngrvy, theis might help, too:: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[05:00] <rexy_> i wish networkmanager would work with my acx111 too :/
[05:00] <silvertip257> bo1:  are you trying to recover data?
[05:00] <Karti> Don't shout me down :) but I think he only has the facility to use the live disk
[05:00] <parker01_> zlx-laptop: umm you can modify the menu.lst and add those items
[05:00] <Adnan_> bo1: if you can get back into windows then try it and then shutdown properly then use the live cd and you should be able to mount the paritions
[05:01] <parker01_> rexy_: what is the problem with acx111 in yours?
[05:01] <bo1> am trying  to save the data from 1 partition to another partition
[05:01] <zlx-laptop> parker01_: ill look into that thankx :)
[05:01] <Adnan_> bo1: are you even considering our advice?
[05:01] <rexy_> parker01_: getting it do wpa in nm, it works via wpa_manager though
[05:01] <bo1> my windows is carshed
[05:01] <Karti> bo1: what is your windows error?
[05:01] <rexy_> wpa_supplicant even
[05:01] <parker01_> rexy_: a little inconvenience :)
[05:02] <bo1> missing hal.ddl and error loading boot.ini
[05:02] <silvertip257> bo1:  listen up here's my suggestion
[05:02] <rexy_> parker01_: a nuisance if you are moving around a lot, and it's ndiswrapper is somewhat limited when it comes to monitoring too i think
[05:02] <silvertip257> bo1:  is there a partition w/o data or lots of it?
[05:02] <silvertip257> bo1:  one that you can wipe?
[05:03] <parker01_> rexy_: you can write the script and execute over one you move around :)
[05:03] <polopolo> Hello, my microfone does not work on ubuntu?
[05:03] <bo1> silvertip257:no
[05:03] <Karti> bo1: Follow these ideas from MS http://support.microsoft.com/kb/314477
[05:03] <polopolo> how can I fix it
[05:03] <rexy_> well yeah parker01_ but if i wanted to roll my own linux i'd be using gentoo, not ubuntu :P
[05:03] <tony_> pls help! laptop boots to black screen after grub since i chose render nvidia in beryl mangager. how can i revert this choice without entering gnome?
[05:03] <Karti> bo1: If you have the original Windows disk you should be able to repair your system
[05:04] <bo1> i dontt
[05:04] <Karti> bo1:  have a look at th elink
[05:04] <silvertip257> bo1: if the other partitions can be mounted, take one of them copy their data to another w/ ntfs-3g
[05:04] <PriceChild> !windows | bo1
[05:04] <ubotu> bo1: For help with Microsoft Windows, please visit ##windows or your nearest mental health institute. See http://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 http://linux.oneandoneis2.org/LNW.htm and !equivalents
[05:04] <bo1> that is what am doing is not working
[05:05] <Calix> does anyone know how to reset your splash and login screens to default? i got a graphical error with a login theme and its giving me a brain bubble :D
[05:05] <silvertip257> bo1:  once that is done & there is no data on the partition you copied from, then you can format the <empty> partition ext3 to save to
[05:05] <silvertip257> bo1:  hopefully then you can get the man windows partition mounted
[05:05] <bo1> am triyng is not letting me all partitions are read only
[05:05] <polopolo> My microfone does not work on ubuntu, how can I fix it?
[05:05] <ward_> is it possible to overclock my centrino in ubuntu? (like clockgen for windows)
[05:05] <stefg> Calix: sudo apt-get install reinstall ubuntu-artwork (not sure if this resets gdm themes)
[05:05] <silvertip257> bo1:  unmount your partitions (you're running live cd right?)
[05:06] <rexy_> polopolo: make sure it's unmuted and turned up in the sound menu (right click on the speaker icon)
[05:06] <stefg> Calix: sudo apt-get install --reinstall ubuntu-artwork that is
[05:06] <bo1> done
[05:06] <silvertip257> bo1:  mount /dev/drivespec /mnt/mntpt -rw
[05:06] <silvertip257> something like that should work
[05:07] <silvertip257> bo1:  you may need ntfs-3g though
[05:07] <bo1> what do i do with this
[05:07] <polopolo> rexy_ : no problem with sound, only nobody hears me
[05:07] <bo1> mount /dev/drivespec /mnt/mntpt -rw
[05:07] <drrngrvy> stefg: fair enough. I'm not sure what avahi does to be honest (sounds like a beer - asahi), but I'll use google ;)
[05:07] <Calix> stefg thanks, ill give it a shot :)
[05:07] <drrngrvy> I might have a look in a few weeks if this is still buggy, just for laughs
[05:07] <silvertip257> bo1:  run synaptic package manager & download ntfs-3g (search for it and download it)
[05:07] <silvertip257> bo1:  that command will mount partitions read/write
[05:07] <rexy_> polopolo: you can adjust your mic input there as well, most like it's off and muted you can change it by right clicking on the speaker and clicking on open volume controls
[05:07] <bo1> where do i type that
[05:08] <silvertip257> bo1:  in the terminal
[05:08] <bo1> ill be back
[05:08] <silvertip257> bo1:  Applications>Accessories>Terminal
[05:08] <silvertip257> ok
[05:08] <Karti> silvertip257: Wishes you all the best with bo1 ;)
[05:08] <polopolo> rexy_ : Thank you
[05:08] <stefg> drrngrvy: avahi is linux' idea of bonjour.... it was quite a stupid decisison to put it in the default install, since there are no known devices out yet which support it....
[05:08] <silvertip257> Karti:  love you too :(
[05:08] <Karti> lol
[05:08] <polopolo> rexy_ : i gonna check
[05:08] <silvertip257> it's being tough
[05:09] <drrngrvy> stefg: Thanks. Sorry, my connection went squwiff then...
[05:09] <silvertip257> Karti:  I could recover the stuff in like 5 minutes
[05:09] <Calix> stefg: i also found this bit saying that sudo update-alternatives --configure usplash-artworks.so can be used to reset your splash, im wondering if there is a similar command for the login screen?
[05:09] <silvertip257> as long as I can mount the disk
[05:09] <bo1> i got this message
[05:09] <silvertip257> ok
[05:09] <bo1> mount: mount point /mnt/mntpt does not exist
[05:09] <bo1> mount: mount point /mnt/mntpt does not exist
[05:09] <bo1> mount: mount point /mnt/mntpt does not exist
[05:09] <silvertip257> bo1:  yes I knokw
[05:09] <silvertip257> ok
[05:10] <Geek_> bo1: you need to make the mountpoints first
[05:10] <silvertip257> bo1:  do you know what your partitions are called?
[05:10] <bo1> noo
[05:10] <stefg> Calix: would be along the lines of sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm ... but you can also edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf
[05:10] <silvertip257> bo1:  are you running a PATA hard drive or SATA ?
[05:10] <bo1> yes i know
[05:10] <bo1> sata
[05:10] <Karti> Blimey - just watching TV- a 7foot 7inches teenager!
[05:10] <silvertip257> bo1:  ok, let's see ..
[05:11] <Geek_> stefg: pidgin supports bonjour, as do some printers, as does a web server that was default with suse's KDE (didn'y make much sense YBH)
[05:11] <silvertip257> bo1:  in the terminal run sudo fdisk
[05:11] <bo1> i know partition name
[05:11] <silvertip257> bo1: what is it?
[05:11] <bo1> i did it then
[05:11] <silvertip257> it's mounted?
[05:12] <Calix> stefg: as a temporary workaround is there a command to set it so you autologin with a certain account? so i can bypass my buggy login?
[05:12] <bo1> i got this message
[05:12] <Calix> if none of this other stuff works :)
[05:12] <silvertip257> ok
[05:12] <bo1> Usage: fdisk [-l]  [-b SSZ]  [-u]  device
[05:12] <bo1> E.g.: fdisk /dev/hda  (for the first IDE disk)
[05:12] <bo1>   or: fdisk /dev/sdc  (for the third SCSI disk)
[05:12] <bo1>   or: fdisk /dev/eda  (for the first PS/2 ESDI drive)
[05:12] <bo1>   or: fdisk /dev/rd/c0d0  or: fdisk /dev/ida/c0d0  (for RAID devices)
[05:12] <silvertip257> bo1:  run "sudo fdisk /dev/sda"
[05:12] <Geek_> Calix: how about using a livecd or alt install cd to go in with single user mode, and add a new account?
[05:13] <polopolo> rexy_: Does not work, en it not dempped
[05:13] <Calix> im on a live cd just now, can i log in to my account from here?
[05:13] <blix> I'm back
[05:13] <Karti> oops just realised this is the Ubuntu ,not the Kubuntu channel *hides*
[05:13] <bo1> The number of cylinders for this disk is set to 9729.
[05:13] <bo1> There is nothing wrong with that, but this is larger than 1024,
[05:13] <bo1> and could in certain setups cause problems with:
[05:13] <bo1> 1) software that runs at boot time (e.g., old versions of LILO)
[05:13] <bo1> 2) booting and partitioning software from other OSs
[05:13] <bo1>    (e.g., DOS FDISK, OS/2 FDISK)
[05:13] <stefg> Calix: none that i know of. you can still login on the console, then startx and run  gdm and gdmconfig from there
[05:13] <zAack> Dumb question :\ dmesg stand for what? D? mesg=message ?
[05:14] <Calix> ok
[05:14] <blix> what's the off-topic room name?
[05:14] <silvertip257> bo1:  did you get ntfs-3g?
[05:14] <Johto> ubuntu-offtopic
[05:14] <Dr_Link> #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:14] <blix> thanks johto
[05:14] <bo1> no
[05:14] <Calix> ok guys thanks a lot, i think im sorted :0
[05:14] <bo1> how?
[05:14] <Calix> gunna go hav a bash :D
[05:14] <silvertip257> bo1:  you'll want to get ntfs-3g and then we can mount that drive hopefully
[05:14] <polopolo> rexy_?
[05:15] <rexy_> polopolo: are you sure the microfphone is in the right slot?
[05:15] <polopolo> yes
[05:15] <bo1> where i get that from?
[05:15] <Dr_Link> I have an Ubuntu PC. Now whenever I try to do desktop effects... it tells me to enable NVDIA 3D on my graphics card. How the **** do I do this when there's a button that says "Enable Driver?" I click the button. It tells me to come back later when the driver is being used. (WTF?)
[05:15] <stefg> !nvidia | Dr_Link
[05:15] <rexy_> !nvidia | Dr_Link

[05:16] <rexy_> polopolo: what program are you using to record sound?
[05:16] <rexy_> i'm on wifi
[05:16] <rexy_> i'm always behind :|
[05:16] <stefg> rexy_: see why wlan is crap :-)
[05:16] <ward_> is it possible to overclock my centrino in ubuntu? (like clockgen for windows)
[05:16] <stefg> copper rules ok!
[05:16] <polopolo> rexy_ : teamspeak2
[05:16] <Bucketface> Hmm, I'm having a problem with Amarok. It does not play anything, all my music is MP3 and it freezes when I try to play anything.
[05:16] <Bucketface> What do I do?
[05:17] <rexy_> polopolo: teamspeak is a crappy program
[05:17] <Ind[y] > Is there a Logo programming/education tool for GNOME (similar to KTurtle)?
[05:17] <rexy_> make sure you are not running any other things that use audio
[05:17] <LaCtoSE> use xmms, Bucketface
[05:17] <polopolo> rexy_ : I have no choice :
[05:17] <polopolo> '(
[05:17] <tiffanie>  My screensaver will not work. I changed everything in my settings and screen begins to fade to black, it goes completely black, and then reveals my desktop again.
[05:17] <Bucketface> thanks
[05:17] <bo1> ok it didnt find it
[05:17] <SeveredCross> Or Exaile
[05:17] <rexy_> polopolo: shutdown all audio programs if they are open
[05:17] <SeveredCross> Or just install the packages...
[05:17] <foxray> does ubuntu use iptables or selinux? i can't ssh into my other linux box
[05:17] <rexy_> then try to start teamspeak again
[05:17] <SeveredCross> For MP3 support.
[05:17] <rexy_> foxray: iptables are off by default
[05:17] <pero> Hello, I've just installed Tribe 5, but it only has 2 workspaces, How can I change it to 5
[05:17] <polopolo> rexy_ done
[05:18] <Enselic> foxray: can you ping the other box?
[05:18] <pero> Hello, I've just installed Tribe 5, but it only has 2 workspaces, How can I change it to 4*
[05:18] <stefg> !firewall
[05:18] <ubotu> Ubuntu, like any other linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'iptables' command (see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo), or GUI applications such as Firestarter (Gnome) or Guarddog (KDE).
[05:18] <foxray> Enselic: yes i can ping the other box
[05:18] <Enselic> foxray: is sshd running on the other box?

[05:18] <Enselic> foxray: have you customized sshd_config a lot?
[05:18] <silvertip257> bo1:  here follow this guide to get ntfs-3g:  http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=217009
[05:19] <foxray> Enselic: this ip is in hosts.allow
[05:19] <Dr_Link> Ok.
[05:19] <soccermike1337> is there a guide for installing ubuntu with the alternate disc?
[05:19] <silvertip257> bo1:  this will help you in using ntfs-3g:  http://www.ntfs-3g.org/index.html#usage
[05:19] <fyrestrtr> soccermike1337: it is pretty much self-explanatory.
[05:19] <polopolo> rexy_ : it's done
[05:19] <stefg> foxray: seems the other box denies unknown hosts... http://www.astro.caltech.edu/~mbonati/WIRC/manual/DATARED/setting_up_no-password_ssh.html might help
[05:19] <soccermike1337> ok
[05:19] <rexy_> polopolo: try teamspeak now
[05:20] <silvertip257> Karti:  x_x :(
[05:20] <Dr_Link> I clicked on the Enable checkbox for my NVDIA graphics card driver in Restricted Drivers. A box appeared and I clicked "enable drivers." The driver entry on the list of restricted driver grayed out for a moment. But then it came back as Not In Use. Again. (I retry and the same thing happens. WTF?)
[05:20] <Enselic> foxray: any particular reason you base authenticatin on hosts.allow?
[05:20] <polopolo> okey
[05:20] <foxray> Enselic: no reason i thought the other ip was blocked but it isn't
[05:20] <bo1> do i got 2 do all that stuff
[05:20] <spike> hi, has anybody got a dell XPS M1330?
[05:21] <Johto> Dr_Link: obviously someting is not working :p
[05:21] <Enselic> foxray: so, did you change sshd_config alot?
[05:21] <spike> I cant see it being sold with ubuntu, and I've read some bug reports about wireless hiccupping
[05:21] <Enselic> foxray: it seems to me as if you messed up sshd_config
[05:21] <Karti> silvertip257: what about apt-get install ntfs-3g ?
[05:21] <Dr_Link> You think?
[05:21] <Dr_Link> Any ideas?
[05:21] <Johto> Dr_Link: nope
[05:21] <silvertip257> Karti:  it's not in sources I dont think
[05:21] <rexy_> spike: wireless is a bit shaky in general still with linux, but it's going to change for the better soon
[05:21] <Johto> Dr_Link: :S
[05:21] <Dr_Link> ...anyone ELSE?
[05:21] <Johto> haha :D
[05:21] <soccermike1337> wow

[05:21] <rexy_> Dr_Link: did you try the manual installation in the nvidia howto?
[05:21] <Karti> byeeeeeeeeeeee
[05:22] <stefg> Dr_Link: have you read the Howto page about installing Nvidia-drivers? What card is that?
[05:22] <Dr_Link> I don't know.
[05:22] <Johto> Dr_Link: go read the nvidia driver howtows in ubuntu guides
[05:22] <stefg> Oh... so how should /we/ know then? telepathy?
[05:22] <Dr_Link> I'm in it.
[05:22] <polopolo> rexy_ does not work
[05:22] <Dr_Link> I just don't see the answer.

[05:23] <mkultrax> hey i've been trying to install all night, i use different hdd, ubuntu cds, alternate, desktop, ect.. it always hangs when i try to format my drive at 33 percent, if i use another app to format, it hangs when copying linux-server package. i swapped my memory also..
[05:23] <foxray> Enselic: i got it working now, careful when u have the same username on both boxes, sshd doesn't like that
[05:23] <Enselic> foxray: it works perfectly fine with me
[05:24] <rexy_> polopolo hit Alt-F2 and enter killall esd in the command line
[05:24] <Enselic> foxray: I have martin everywhere
[05:24] <polopolo> ok
[05:24] <rexy_> then try teamspeak again
[05:24] <foxray> Enselic: my sshd_config file is a little more restrictive
[05:24] <thingy> axz: sudo -i will give you a # prompt
[05:24] <Dr_Link> GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 8x, stefg.
[05:24] <Johto> Dr_Link: uh, thats "shitty" card :S
[05:24] <rexy_> mkultrax: did you make sure the cd or harddrive are ok?
[05:24] <Johto> Dr_Link: old as hell :I
[05:25] <mkultrax> i used 3 diff hdds
[05:25] <stefg> Dr_Link: ok, now i know. You need the 'legacy' driver
[05:25] <N3oXid> Hello everyone
[05:25] <mkultrax> maybe diff cdrom drive, thanks i just tried diff cds
[05:25] <Enselic> foxray: really, sshd have no way of knowing the clients username anyway
[05:25] <thingy> axz: and the answer to you question is here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo
[05:25] <spike> rexy_: that comment oscillates between useless and irrelevant, a) because I have 2 ubuntu boxes working with hostap as wifi AP and never had a single issue, b) 'cause whatever you deem "soon" might not be soon enough for me or not reflect any real schedule
[05:25] <Enselic> foxray: afaik    i.e. it should not matter what the username on the client box is
[05:25] <Johto> Dr_Link: you were trying way too new drivers ..that driver u tried was for "geforce 5xxx -> up"
[05:25] <soccermike1337> is there any reason why the 5.10 installer will load but neither the 7.x installer or alternate cd will load?
[05:25] <N3oXid> A little question : anyone here with an NFS export of a ntfs-3g mount point ?
[05:26] <rexy_> soccermike1337: ancient hardware?
[05:26] <spike> so, the question remains the same: has anybody got a dell xps m1330 with ubuntu on it and can confirm that the specif hardware on it works fine? there are no reports on linux-on-laptop and similar and dell doesnt sell that model with linux preinstalled
[05:26] <rexy_> soccermike1337: you could try booting the textbased installer i think
[05:26] <soccermike1337> alternate install = text based
[05:26] <soccermike1337> it wont load
[05:26] <tiffanie> Anyone know what would be the cause of a screensaver not working?
[05:26] <stefg> Dr_Link: run 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-legacy'
[05:26] <rexy_> soccermike1337: where does it hang?
[05:26] <soccermike1337> but my hardware is a 2.83 GHz core 2 duo and 2 gigs of ram
[05:27] <soccermike1337> well on the menu for the installer
[05:27] <rexy_> !hardware
[05:27] <ubotu> For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport
[05:27] <soccermike1337> i hit enter
[05:27] <rexy_> go there spike
[05:27] <soccermike1337> and it says loading
[05:27] <soccermike1337> and it wont go any further
[05:27] <rexy_> soccermike1337: whats your hardware
[05:27] <soccermike1337> i waited for over 10 minutes last night
[05:27] <soccermike1337> cpu - 1.83 GHz Core 2 Duo T5600
[05:27] <wilson_Br_2007> can't play dvd
[05:27] <soccermike1337> RAM - 2 GB
[05:27] <axz> hmmz i don't have super user access
[05:28] <axz> whats standard root user id?
[05:28] <Pici> !sudo | ax
[05:28] <ubotu> ax: sudo is a command to run programs with superuser privileges ("root"). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for all information.
[05:28] <rexy_> !acpi
[05:28] <N3oXid> Is anyone there who know how to do an NFS export of a ntfs-3g mount point ?
[05:28] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about acpi - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:28] <bo1> what does this mean tools for doing neat things in NTFS partitions from Linux?
[05:28] <bo1> i got this message.
[05:28] <wilson_Br_2007> vlc message: main error: invalid chain
[05:28] <stefg> !root
[05:28] <ubotu> do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth.. there is no root password. Then you will see that it is sudo that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo

[05:28] <polopolo> rexy_: they hear me better but still too low\
[05:29] <soccermike1337> so... i dont know why its not working

[05:29] <rexy_> polopolo: in a console type alsamixer, move around with the arrow keys and adjust with up down keys, look for a setting called mic DB boost or something similar, you can toggle it with the m key
[05:29] <Dr_Link> stefg: I don't have an internet connection on this computer :(
[05:29] <thingy> soccermike1337: is it a laptop?
[05:29] <Johto> Dr_Link: linux without network access is like fish without water !
[05:30] <spike> thingy: thanks
[05:30] <Bucketface> Gah, I want to use amarok!
[05:30] <rexy_> hanging at boot, i'm thinking acpi, or is that not a problem nowadays
[05:30] <Bucketface> Why will it not let me D;
[05:30] <soccermike1337> yes its a laptop
[05:30] <Johto> Bucketface: whats stopping you ?
[05:30] <soccermike1337> HP DV6000
[05:30] <Dr_Link> XD
[05:30] <tony_> pls help! laptop boots to black screen after grub since i chose render nvidia in beryl mangager. how can i revert this choice without entering gnome?
[05:30] <Johto> Bucketface: i loove my Amarok
[05:30] <Bucketface> When I go into Apps, and then try to open it, it doesn't open.
[05:30] <thingy> soccermike1337: most likely it needs a kernel boot param...lemme go check.
[05:31] <soccermike1337> o
[05:31] <soccermike1337> ok
[05:31] <Bucketface> If I try to open a file with ti, it freezes and I have to force quit it.
[05:31] <Johto> Bucketface: like in never have?
[05:31] <Bucketface> What?
[05:31] <Johto> Bucketface: have you managed to open Amarok EVER?
[05:31] <Bucketface> Yeh, but that was before reinstall
[05:31] <Bucketface> Since I tried using this time it doesn't work.
[05:32] <Johto> Bucketface: oh, you need to "reset" amarok settings...delete amarok's setting files
[05:32] <Bucketface> From synaptics?
[05:32] <robertjames> I need help with my XORG
[05:32] <Johto> Bucketface: no
[05:32] <Bucketface> How do I do it
[05:32] <poningru> tony_: does it put out any sound at all?
[05:32] <robertjames> before i go NUTS !
[05:32] <rexy_> !ask | robertjames
[05:32] <Johto> Bucketface: find the amarok stuff inside your home dir..
[05:32] <ubotu> robertjames: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[05:32] <soccermike1337> while thingy is checking on that, does the ubuntu installer have a partition editor?
[05:32] <soccermike1337> cause i need to shrink a partition
[05:32] <poningru> tony_: if you have any speakers
[05:32] <soccermike1337> so i can install ubuntu next to windows
[05:32] <rexy_> soccermike1337: yep
[05:32] <Johto> Bucketface: lemme check where they were
[05:32] <thingy> soccermike1337: ok here you go: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/linux-laptops/75587-linux-hp-dv6000-amd-laptops.html it seems apic is broken on the machine and you need to pass the noapic and nosmp kernel options for it to boot up. :-( have checked if there is a bios upgrade from hp for the machine? if so, flash the bios since it may remove these issues
[05:32] <Bucketface> Where abouts will it be?
[05:32] <soccermike1337> ok
[05:32] <rexy_> soccermike1337: it can resize a windows partition, but make sure to defrag windows first
[05:32] <polopolo> rexy_ thank you, you saved me from starting more windows xp
[05:32] <Bucketface> Johto: , I'm in like file system :D?
[05:33] <ah-Yeop> hi everybody
[05:33] <robertjames> i have a 553v LG monitor im getting incorrect resolutions
[05:33] <poningru> tony_: oh eek I would press ctrl+alt+f1
[05:33] <soccermike1337> ok
[05:33] <soccermike1337> um
[05:33] <robertjames> ubuntu defualts its self to 1024x768 87hz
[05:33] <soccermike1337> that noapic isnt going to cause any problems is it?
[05:33] <Johto> Bucketface: yes, you can "reset" the amarok stuff to factory default wiping this directory: ~/.kde/share/apps/amarok
[05:33] <rexy_> polopolo: yw, make sure to not run any audio programs when using teamspeak, ussually the esd sound daemon auto releases the sound card so teamspeak can use it
[05:33] <stefg> Dr_Link: You could try to d/l the package and install it offline on that box. https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/12132 . But it's not worth the hassle... the card won't work with effects enabled anyway
[05:33] <poningru> tony_: login and then run sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xorg-server
[05:33] <soccermike1337> is it going to interfere with ubuntu later on if i use the noapic?
[05:33] <Condiment> sup
[05:33] <Bucketface> Johto? I type that in terminal?
[05:33] <Johto> Bucketface:  OH dear !
[05:34] <Johto> Bucketface: why everyone are this n00b
[05:34] <Johto> Bucketface: lol
[05:34] <polopolo> ok
[05:34] <BlizZvt> guys.. how to detect the keyboard type again?
[05:34] <Condiment> you tell me ;)
[05:34] <Johto> Bucketface: please learn linux basics...
[05:34] <rexy_> !benice
[05:34] <Johto> Bucketface: i dont care how you delete it, just do it
[05:34] <axz> whats best way to make portitions fully write access
[05:34] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about benice - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:34] <wilson_Br_2007> folks, VLC can't play dvds. i already install libdvdcss and nothing works.
[05:35] <rexy_> !dvd

[05:35] <BlizZvt> guys.. how to detect the keyboard type again?
[05:35] <soccermike1337> thingy: i just noticed that thread is for AMD cpus, im running dv6000 intel
[05:35] <BlizZvt> my nvidia panel chaned my xorg.conf
[05:35] <rexy_> BlizZvt: preferences -> keyboard ?
[05:35] <Johto> Bucketface: so you dont understand anything about linux?
[05:36] <Johto> Bucketface: like not even the basics of terminal / bash commands, like cd,rm,ls, blaahblaah?
[05:36] <BlizZvt> rexy_: but how to store this settings into xorg.cong?
[05:36] <Pici> !noob | Johto
[05:36] <ubotu> Johto: Words like noob, jfgi, stfu or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period.
[05:36] <robertjames> rexy: i have a LG 553v monitor that ubuntu defaults it to 1024x768 87hz, when it should be 1024x768 60Hz im not able to change the Hz in System - Prefrence - SCreen Resolution. it will only give 87Hz. I have tried editing the XORG but i just cant get it to change
[05:36] <soccermike1337> noob, jfgi, stfu, rtfm.
[05:36] <Dr_Link> ACK! UBUNTU KERNEL PANIC!!!
[05:36] <robertjames> PLEASEEE HELP!
[05:36] <BlizZvt> rexy_: I need to set that my keyboard have 105 keys

[05:36] <stefg> !fixres | robertjames
[05:36] <ctothej> How can i have unison-gtk ignore permissions?
[05:36] <ubotu> robertjames: The X Window System is the part of your system that's responsible for graphical output. To restart your X, type  sudo /etc/init.d/?dm restart  in a console - To fix screen resolution or other X problems: http://help.ubuntu.com/community/FixVideoResolutionHowto
[05:36] <rexy_> robertjames: is that an lcd screen?
[05:37] <robertjames> no CRT
[05:37] <tony_> poningru, what will that do?
[05:37] <robertjames> i have tried already step by step that Wiki already
[05:37] <bo1> i think am doing it wrong?
[05:37] <rexy_> robertjames: what is your videocard like
[05:37] <Bucketface> thanks
[05:37] <poningru> tony_: make a copy of your current X settings and then lets you choose the correct driver and then turns that on during the next reboot
[05:37] <robertjames> i have a Nvidia TNT 32MB video card AGP 4x
[05:38] <rexy_> you can set the layout using that tool BlizZvt
[05:38] <bullgard4> What is the role or function of 'IEC958' in AlsaMixer?
[05:38] <jerbear> i've used apt-get to grab the source files for a package. how can i reuse the debian/rules file to use the same configure options to build another package (same program, different version)?
[05:38] <tony_> thx!
[05:38] <poningru> robertjames: go check to see if your crt can utilize that frequency
[05:38] <poningru> what crt do you have?
[05:38] <Bucketface> I know cd, and apt-get ;d
[05:38] <stefg> robertjames: you need the nvidia-glx-legacy driver for that card
[05:38] <BlizZvt> rexy_: but this settings isn't stored in my xorg.conf
[05:39] <poningru> !dpkg-build
[05:39] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about dpkg-build - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:39] <BlizZvt> rexy_: i need just one line
[05:39] <poningru> !motu
[05:39] <ubotu> motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU
[05:39] <robertjames> http://www.wilkinsonpc.com.co/productos/partes/hard1319.html
[05:39] <robertjames> thats what my Monitor will hold
[05:39] <poningru> jerbear: look through that motu wiki page
[05:39] <rexy_> BlizZvt: i dont know how to change that, man xorg.conf probably has pointers on that
[05:39] <poningru> there are instructions in there
[05:39] <soccermike1337> it says it cant read the disc :-/
[05:39] <soccermike1337> it cant read either disc
[05:39] <robertjames> there i have the Horizontal and Vertical Freq
[05:39] <soccermike1337> the alternate or the live
[05:39] <BlizZvt> rexy_: thank you
[05:39] <poningru> BlizZvt: what are you trying to do?
[05:39] <rexy_> did you try googling for ubuntu keyboard reconfiguring?
[05:40] <bo1> br back soon
[05:40] <rexy_> change the default keyboard layout in the xorg.conf poningru
[05:40] <BlizZvt> rexy_: i will try again
[05:40] <jerbear> poningru: huh? motu wiki?
[05:40] <mp3guy> is it possible for me to put a password on certain programs? Like I want to have an automatic log on, but require a password to run firefox
[05:40] <soccermike1337> >.< Could someone help me?
[05:40] <poningru> BlizZvt: did you try to go to system->keyboard->layout
[05:40] <rexy_> there probably is a tool for that since it's used in the installation process, but i have no idea how to start that
[05:40] <poningru> !motu | jerbear
[05:40] <robertjames> rexy did you follow the link
[05:40] <ubotu> jerbear: motu is short for Masters of the Universe. The brave souls who maintain the packages in the Universe section of Ubuntu. See  http://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU
[05:40] <rexy_> robertjames: sorry what link?
[05:41] <robertjames> http://www.wilkinsonpc.com.co/productos/partes/hard1319.html
[05:41] <BlizZvt> poningru: yeah, ofc
[05:41] <poningru> ofc?
[05:41] <poningru> BlizZvt: what does it say there?
[05:41] <robertjames> here you have the Horizontal and Vertical for my monitor
[05:41] <naki35366> please help me with my intel 915g card and 3d rendering....
[05:41] <BlizZvt> of course
[05:41] <robertjames> i cant get the xorg to work it with
[05:41] <rexy_> it's set to it's max resolution already robertjames
[05:41] <rexy_> 1024x768 is what the specs say is max
[05:41] <poningru> robertjames: you can set it up manually
[05:41] <poningru> hold on
[05:42] <robertjames> yes it is but the Hz ubuntu is setting it to is WRONG !
[05:42] <mp3guy> is it possible for me to put a password on certain programs? Like I want to have an automatic log on, but require a password to run firefox
[05:42] <robertjames> it is setting it to 87Hz i need it to be 60Hz
[05:42] <poningru> robertjames: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:42] <rexy_> aah
[05:42] <poningru> put that in a terminal and run it
[05:42] <rexy_> 87hz is better then 60 hz though
[05:42] <naki35366> please can anyone help me with glx settings on a intel 915g card ?
[05:43] <robertjames> running
[05:43] <rexy_> you have to specificly tell xorg.conf to use 60hz to drive it, but i'm not sure how to do that
[05:43] <robertjames> Autodetect hardware ? yes or no ?
[05:43] <poningru> robertjames: yes
[05:44] <poningru> naki35366: it should just work
[05:44] <axz> whats best way to make my partitions fully write access?
[05:44] <jerbear> poningru: any specific place for rebuilding packages?
[05:44] <rexy_> mp3guy: you need special programs to use those kinds of restrictions
[05:44] <poningru> axz: why would you want to do that?
[05:44] <stefg> robertjames: do you get the monitor to sync in 87 Hz? If it works leave it like that, you don't want flickering 60 Hz
[05:44] <poningru> jerbear: not really
[05:44] <naki35366> poningru I don't understand... it doesn't work
[05:45] <rexy_> axz: that is a really bad idea in general, and not needed for day to day usage of ubuntu
[05:45] <poningru> naki35366: ok what are you trying to do and what have you done so far?
[05:45] <poningru> axz: what are you trying to do that you need to make it writable?
[05:45] <naki35366> i tried to reinstall the mesa-glx package
[05:45] <poningru> naki35366: ...
[05:45] <poningru> naki35366: why would you do that?
[05:45] <naki35366> but my glxinfo is : Xlib:  extension "GLX" missing on display ":0.0".
[05:45] <naki35366> Error: couldn't find RGB GLX visual
[05:46] <robertjames> rexy did the sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:46] <poningru> naki35366: hmm what version of ubuntu are you doing?
[05:46] <naki35366> it seems that the libglx isn't on my computer
[05:46] <robertjames> how ever the Hz sync it will not display where to change it
[05:46] <naki35366> 7.04
[05:46] <poningru> robertjames: it should have asked you that
[05:47] <Radical> guess what :D im back @ vista
[05:47] <poningru> robertjames: do it again this time read what it asks you, and under monitor pick advanced
[05:47] <Slart> mp3guy: can't you use sudo to run a program as another user? not root I mean.. perhaps make firefox runnable only to a specific user and then use sudo to run it as that user.. only guessing
[05:47] <axz> uhmm my irc client crashed lol
[05:47] <axz> :S
[05:47] <IndyGunFreak> Radical: sorry to hear that.
[05:47] <mikubuntu> can anyone tell me how to convert an ubuntu open office document (flyer) to jpeg, for printing and for web publishing?
[05:47] <poningru> naki35366: try reinstalling the X driver, sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:48] <Radical> whats so sorry about that.. atleast i can do things here..
[05:48] <poningru> mikubuntu: iirc you can do an 'export'
[05:48] <naki35366> this is my xorg.log : (II) LoadModule: "glx"
[05:48] <naki35366> (WW) Warning, couldn't open module glx
[05:48] <naki35366> (II) UnloadModule: "glx"
[05:48] <naki35366> (EE) Failed to load module "glx" (module does not exist, 0)
[05:48] <rexy_> Slart you'd have to change groups on a lot of other files too
[05:48] <mp3guy> rexy_: what programs?
[05:48] <Bucketface> Johto, think I got that all wiped.
[05:48] <poningru> mikubuntu: open it in openoffice and do a file->export
[05:48] <naki35366> I tried this many and many times... :-(
[05:48] <IndyGunFreak> Radical: what can you not do in ubuntu?...
[05:48] <Slart> rexy_: wouldn't it be enough to just change owner of the main firefox binary?
[05:48] <poningru> naki35366: are you sure you have intel?
[05:48] <rexy_> Slart: nope
[05:48] <mikubuntu> poningru: ok, then what?
[05:48] <rexy_> slart actually
[05:48] <naki35366> yes I've a Dell optiplex
[05:48] <rexy_> if the rest is world readeable that would work
[05:48] <poningru> mikefoo: uh... pick jpeg?
[05:49] <rexy_> but it's trivial to get around
[05:49] <Radical> download software install it easily, and have it working without any confusing stuff
[05:49] <Slart> rexy_: oh, well.. the idea had it's 10 seconds of fame =)
[05:49] <magnetron> mikubuntu: you can print it without converting it to jpeg. why not use the PDF export button? PDFs are easy to print and perfect for the web
[05:49] <poningru> naki35366: do a lspci -v
[05:49] <fsckr> the number of workspaces i have keeps changing.  I always put 4 but it always changes back to 1 later on anyone else have this issue, and is there a config I can just add to make it stay?
[05:49] <rexy_> by just installing your own tarball
[05:49] <Radical> if i run ubuntu im like.. wow im bored, lemme go back to vista
[05:49] <naki35366> this is my lspci grep VGA : 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82915G/GV/910GL Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 04)
[05:49] <poningru> naki35366: hmm that is weird
[05:49] <rexy_> mp3guy: you want refined access control, meaning Selinux and apparmor and probably a bunch of custom scripts, short answer it's not really doable
[05:49] <Slart> rexy_: at least it would stop some of the evildoers.. =)
[05:49] <magnetron> Radical: install Nexuiz, it's a great game for Ubuntu
[05:49] <mikubuntu> poningru: i need jpeg to publish a copy in online classified
[05:49] <SmoothOp> but
[05:50] <SmoothOp> a @#$ty game

[05:50] <Radical> you think nexuiz can beat css or directx10 games like bioshock? :)
[05:50] <rexy_> mp3guy: what are you trying to achieve?
[05:50] <Johto> Bucketface: did it start ?
[05:50] <SmoothOp> Radical, bioshock is a pos
[05:50] <SmoothOp> or maybe i dont like video games anymore
[05:50] <poningru> SmoothOp: please dont feed the trolls
[05:50] <FFForever> my dad reinstalled xp and now he can't get back into linux help?, how do i get back grub?
[05:50] <SmoothOp> i currently limit myself to playing two at a time
[05:50] <Bucketface> No.
[05:50] <naki35366> One week ago I installed the nvidia driver for another pc ( my ubuntu is on USB Disk)
[05:50] <rexy_> FFForever: boot the live cd
[05:50] <poningru> !grub | FFForever
[05:50] <rexy_> from there you can fix grub
[05:51] <ubotu> FFForever: grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[05:51] <Bucketface> I changed to that directory you posted.
[05:51] <Johto> FFForever: boot from liveCD and follow some guide in the internet
[05:51] <Bucketface> And used rm
[05:51] <SmoothOp> poningru, i'm not a killer, but i'm done, will comcast still throttle me if i dl my torrrents on ubuntu
[05:51] <Johto> FFForever: dont remember but look about "restore grub"
[05:51] <mikubuntu> magnetron: guess i need to check if craigslist will take pdf
[05:51] <naki35366> Now I've removed it but it seems that the old glx module doesn't more exist
[05:51] <FFForever> how can i run the auto grub configuration script?
[05:51] <steve001hsd> how do i configure a raeon x1300 when i have an onboard also
[05:52] <magnetron> mikubuntu: you could do a screenshot (alt+printscreen) and convert it to jpg with GIMP
[05:52] <poningru> steve001hsd: thats a bios thing
[05:52] <naki35366> Is there a procedure to restore the original glx module ?
[05:52] <poningru> FFForever: follow the instructions that ubotu linked you to
[05:53] <steve001hsd> I set the radeon as the first display but i cant get it to display more than text
[05:53] <Slart> naki35366: you can't just reinstall from the repository? sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx?
[05:53] <poningru> steve001hsd: ah gotcha
[05:53] <poningru> steve001hsd: new vid card?
[05:53] <mikubuntu> magnetron: i don't understand; you mean (alt + P)?
[05:53] <steve001hsd> yes
[05:53] <naki35366> yes but is the nvidia-glx module compatible with my intel 915g ?
[05:53] <poningru> naki35366: it is not
[05:53] <poningru> hold on dude
[05:53] <magnetron> mikubuntu: beware, all files except photos will look blurry in jpg format. no, the Prt Scr button
[05:53] <steve001hsd> and fresh install
[05:54] <Slart> naki35366: ah.. ok.. true.. I have no idea if that'll work.. I'd guess it won't
[05:54] <naki35366> I don't know what other to try... :-(
[05:54] <mikubuntu> magnetron: omg, that's the first time i ever SAW that button ... lol
[05:54] <poningru> steve001hsd: press ctrl+alt+f1 and login and then do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[05:55] <steve001hsd> did that but i cant find the correct params
[05:55] <mikubuntu> magnetron: ok, so what's the best format to preserve resolution/continuity?
[05:55] <rexy_> !formats
[05:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about formats - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:56] <poningru> steve001hsd: then do a sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[05:56] <poningru> and then pick vesa
[05:56] <naki35366> please do you have ideas ?
[05:56] <rexy_> mikubuntu:  think png is good but it's a lossy format, i think tiff is lossless, which gives you the best results
[05:56] <steve001hsd> k one sec
[05:56] <magnetron> mikubuntu: best format would be Open Document Format. in descending order: HTML, PDF, PNG, GIF, JPEG
[05:56] <Geekosaur> I am trying to convert a svg drawing into a jpg format.  Any suggestions?
[05:57] <poningru> naki35366: I'm at a loss dude
[05:57] <magnetron> Geek_: use GIMP
[05:57] <poningru> naki35366: hold on
[05:57] <naki35366> ok thanks
[05:57] <magnetron> Geek_: or inkscape
[05:57] <rexy_> magnetron: the first three are containers,  image formats,
[05:57] <ToolBust> I want a bikes game...any one knows one?
[05:57] <magnetron> Geekosaur: GIMP or Inkscape
[05:57] <Geek_> magnetron: you mean Geekosaur ;p
[05:57] <voraistos> HI i have a question. How come we cant mount iso(s) rw but fileroller can read AND write them ?
[05:57] <Geekosaur> GIMP doesn't in hale correctly - it is very large
[05:57] <ToolBust> I want a bikes game...any one knows one?
[05:57] <magnetron> Geek_:  sorry
[05:57] <poningru> naki35366: xserver-xorg-video-intel
[05:58] <poningru> reinstall that package
[05:58] <rexy_> voraistos: they are just a filesystem like any other, it's just that cd's are ussually not writeable
[05:58] <naki35366> I've also tried that driver instead that my i810 but my monitor is black
[05:58] <robertjames> rexy im going crazy here you know
[05:58] <mikubuntu> magnetron: so do a file--->export to opendoc, from html to jpeg, whichever works for me?
[05:58] <magnetron> mikubuntu: yeap
[05:58] <robertjames> ive been trying this for hours already
[05:58] <rexy_> robertjames: , the boot problem right, what was your laptop again?
[05:58] <robertjames> and im not getting no where
[05:59] <naki35366> pherhaps the screen settings are wrong...
[05:59] <robertjames> no the CRT resolution problem
[05:59] <voraistos> rexy_ exactly. i dont understand why iso9660 wont mount read an write. there is just no point.
[05:59] <Geekosaur> Inkscape only puts out png
[05:59] <robertjames> its a Desktop by the way
[05:59] <poningru> naki35366: wait you have i810?
[05:59] <poningru> hold on then
[05:59] <naki35366> yes
[05:59] <rexy_> unless you want to write voraistos
[05:59] <rexy_> robertjames: run me through it again plz?
[05:59] <steve001hsd> poningru what driver would you recomend for the ati x1300 all i get is a black scree
[05:59] <poningru> steve001hsd: vesa
[05:59] <voraistos> rexy_ well i want to write, and i cant :P
[05:59] <naki35366> but my card is a 915g
[05:59] <ToolBust> does any one knows a bike simulator game?

[06:01] <rexy_> robertjames: i'll have a look, but why must you have 60 hz? it's worse then 87hz
[06:01] <mikubuntu> magnetron: this was my first time using open office, as soon as i figure all these things out i already love it.  Tell me, i prolly could have done the whole thing in GIMP, also, right?  just a picture with superimposed text ...?
[06:01] <voraistos> rexy_ i didnt check permissions on the ISO
[06:01] <solarwaver> is anyone knows why restricted manager does play?
[06:01] <jaime-san> which room is for the dev version?
[06:01] <robertjames> because its out of focus on 87Hz the monitor hightest is 60Hz
[06:02] <magnetron> mikubuntu: well GIMP is nice and can solve most problems, but i don't think it can read the Open Document Format
[06:02] <robertjames> if ill do 87hz i keep seeing small horizontal lines across the screen and it hurts my eyes!

[06:05] <voraistos> rexy_ yep. there was no problem with the permissions (and in fact i did all that stuff as root, so it shouldnt be a problem anyway). I honestly think its a missing feature. we can write isos, just not mount the rw. stupid.
[06:05] <Bo1> all my data is not showing

[06:21] <Bo1> which version of ubuntu is best?
[06:21] <naki35366> ok thank you very much!

[06:27] <dcrao> poningru: here is the pastebin   http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/35131/
[06:28] <astro76> Bo1, as with everything else, best tends to be subjective. It's the most common and it's the best if you don't a reason to use otherwise

[06:28] <rexy_> FFForever: you should be able to repear grub from the livecd

[06:28] <rexy_> just make sure you use the right settings

[06:35] <astro76> IdleOne, I did not abuse the bot! :p

[06:38] <ward_> haha rexy_
[06:38] <ward_> ty, sacmat :-)
[06:38] <PokieisBORk> hello  can anybody help me figure out why My install off ndiswrapper is not fixing my broken WIFI?
[06:38] <astro76> Bo1, if you have anything to recover on a Hard Disk, the last thing you want to do is install something first. What happened that you lost your 4 partitions?
[06:38] <mjb> we love you too, sacmat.....
[06:38] <Bucketface> Okay, can someone actually help me this time please? I'm new, don't expect me to be some kinda of wiz thing...I get an 'error 2' when I try to Add/Remove programs reload
[06:39] <thomp1> im having a strange problem with amarok my /music directory is now empty
[06:39] <Bo1> astro76:so are you going to help me?
[06:39] <Bo1> astro76:ok so which one is the frist step for me?
[06:39] <rexy_> PokieisBORk: did you look at the wifi page? also what chip are you trying to install as it's very specific
[06:39] <astro76> Bo1, the first step would be answering my question about what happened to lose your partitions?
[06:39] <PokieisBORk> i did look at the page and i think it is the chip i'm having problems w/ but i don't know how to figure which one to get
[06:40] <rexy_> PokieisBORk:  lspci
[06:40] <kravlin> i'm trying to get to a cd in my drive but it's not mounted under media. I can get to it through the gui but not through the terminal. any help?
[06:40] <PokieisBORk> yup did thatBroadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g]  802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
[06:40] <Bo1> astro76:i press "set disklable"
[06:40] <rexy_> kravlin: mount /media/cdrom
[06:41] <kravlin> rexy_: but i can see it in the gui. Doesn't that mean it's mounted?
[06:41] <rexy_> BCM4318 is the chip
[06:41] <rexy_> kravlin: probably
[06:41] <astro76> kravlin, typing mount will show you where it's mounted (or if you click on the icon and click properties, then go to the volume tab, it should say where it's mounted)
[06:41] <rexy_> it's either in /media/cdrom or /media/cdrom0
[06:42] <pike_> kravlin: is it an audio cd by any chance? if so you wont be mounting it
[06:42] <PokieisBORk> rexy:  i can find that in http://ftp.us.dell.com/network?
[06:43] <arun> I just installed an application from a script (not the repos). what would be the best way to uninstall it?
[06:43] <astro76> PokieisBORk, have you seen this page? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Device/Broadcom_BCM4318_%5BAirForce_One_54g%5D
[06:43] <pike_> arun: alot of scripts have an --uninstall switch
[06:44] <astro76> Bo1, and setting the disklabel you lost your partitions? Did you lose stuff you didn't want to lose?
[06:44] <arun> pike_: so.. for example?
[06:44] <pike_> arun: well for example 'sudo scriptname.sh --uninstall'
[06:44] <Bo1> astro76:"yes"yes"
[06:45] <PokieisBORk> astro76: no but thank you SO much i've follow it & come back if i have questions, THNX!
[06:45] <Stylee> heya, I have Nvidia fx5600, it worked perfectly on festy, and yesterday I had to reinstall ubuntu... and now I can't get it to work
[06:45] <arun> pike_: alright, will try it. thanks
[06:45] <aantn> can I install Ubuntu i386 on a hard drive formated in Apple Partition Map?
[06:45] <astro76> Bo1, I'm not familiar enough to help you with partition table recovery, you can use SystemRescueCD to do that but it's not easy. No backups?
[06:46] <thomp1> can somone help me solve folder problems. I have a strange folder "$Home
[06:46] <mcrea> hi
[06:46] <arun> pike_: it's a bash script, is that ok?
[06:46] <mcrea> how can i install ati driver
[06:46] <aantn> I have a firewire/usb external hard drive, and I'd like to use it both to boot os x on my mac, and to boot linux on a pc
[06:46] <aantn> is that possible?
[06:46] <Bo1> astro76:how do i use that to recover my lost partition "SystemRescueCD"
[06:46] <aantn> mcrea: fglrx or radeon?
[06:46] <PokieisBORk> sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[06:46] <PokieisBORk> sudo apt-get remove ndiswrapper-common ndiswrapper-utils-1.9
[06:46] <_wintermute_> mcrea google ati driver install ubuntu
[06:46] <Gringo> mcrea: try the application "Envy", it's for Nvidia, but it works for most ATI cards as well
[06:47] <pike_> arun: yeah. you have a link to the script? maybe someone can look at it
[06:47] <mcrea> i install a bash script ati driver 40.4 from ati website
[06:47] <Stylee> actually where can I find easy ubuntu? I think it helped me once... but not sure where to find it anymore
[06:47] <arun> pike_: the bash script installed mozilla sunbird to the /usr/bin directory
[06:47] <mcrea> gringo: i tried but i cant run it
[06:47] <dcrao> poningru: It took 50 seconds to boot . Thank u. But the ubuntu booting screen was not visible
[06:47] <astro76> !envy
[06:47] <ubotu> envy is a script that may leave you envious of those who have not used it, use the resticted manager to install binary drivers or use the instructions on the wiki, this script may break your machine very badly!
[06:47] <fsckr> what program in ubuntu creates those cool little ascii art or is there one
[06:47] <elkbuntu> mcrea, envy can potentially do silly stuff, so it's probably best you cant
[06:47] <mcrea> _wintermute_:  i tried with envy but i cant change my screen resolution
[06:48] <mjb> ubotu, what do you think about automatix?
[06:48] <pike_> arun: well.. unless youre concerned about the libs you could just remove the executables for it
[06:48] <_wintermute_> fsckr: i saw one in synaptic

[06:48] <Bo1> astro76:1 more thing i have a 2gb usb drive is that enough space to install ubuntu?
[06:48] <fsckr> _wintermute_, you remember the name of it?
[06:49] <cam> welp, i found what i was looking for.
[06:49] <cam> take care folks
[06:49] <_wintermute_> lol
[06:49] <_wintermute_> xorg.conf
[06:49] <mcrea> how can i use the shell script?
[06:49] <mcrea> install?
[06:49] <_wintermute_> stupid bandaid on my finger
[06:49] <_wintermute_> use sh
[06:49] <arun> pike_: any ideas? :)
[06:50] <astro76> Bo1, I don't think so, that would be very tight
[06:50] <nopcode> hey
[06:50] <_wintermute_> mcrea you can only run it at 1280?
[06:50] <mcrea> _wintermute_:  no
[06:50] <nopcode> i've got a source tree with a directory debian/... how do i build a package from that`?
[06:50] <pike_> arun: rm -fr /etc/opt/sunbird; rm /usr/share/applications/sunbird.desktop; rm /usr/bin/sunbird   should do it
[06:50] <_wintermute_> you want to run it at 1280
[06:50] <nopcode> dpkg-deb expects DEBIAN/
[06:50] <mcrea> its  running 1024x768 with 60 hz
[06:50] <Bo1> astro76: i have 1 2gb and another usb drive that is 256.
[06:50] <_wintermute_> ok
[06:50] <Bo1> astro76:256mb
[06:50] <arun> pike_: great, thanks. that won't affect the other apps, right?
[06:50] <astro76> Bo1, the 256 isn't going to help you ;)
[06:51] <pike_> arun: nope
[06:51] <arun> pike_ thanks a lot! what's rm -fr for
[06:51] <Distro^Junkie> how safe is it to intall ubuntu 6.06 and update to the latest version ? or would it be better to download the latest ?
[06:51] <Distro^Junkie> install*
[06:51] <dgarvey> arun: forced deleting stuff
[06:51] <arun> ah alright
[06:51] <_wintermute_> did you look at /etc/X11/xorg.conf file?
[06:51] <dgarvey> arun: be careful with that... :)
[06:51] <pike_> arun: the -f just means dont prompt me with a y or n. it means force and the -r means recursive so you use that when you want to delete a directory containing files
[06:51] <_wintermute_> you need to sudo it btw to make changes
[06:51] <astro76> Distro^Junkie, it's safe, but you'll have to do 6.06->6.10->7.04, installing just 7.04 if you can will be much easier
[06:51] <mcrea> _wintermute_:  yes
[06:52] <arun> pike_ alright.. thank you so much!!
[06:52] <Distro^Junkie> ok thanx astro76

[07:10] <elkbuntu> Polygon89, neither are ideal, and easyubuntu is now outdated by the easy codec installation features in feisty
[07:11] <unimatrix9> ToolBust, you have to install it first with cedega
[07:11] <Ahadiel> ToolBust, If you hadn't already noticed, this is #ubuntu, not #cedega
[07:11] <Polygon89> astro76, ah. whatever, in gutsy there is a metapackage for all codecs anyway

[07:11] <Polygon89> andy_25, i had the same problem
[07:11] <Polygon89> andy_25, the fileroller application does not support passwords but the command line does, let me go find the command lol
[07:11] <ToolBust> but I open cedega and there is only one button....Mount dvd

[07:12] <chickenF> I have a problem: checking for FFMPEG_SWSCALER... configure: error:  FFmpeg Swscaler not found. Did you enable it when you compiled ffmpeg ?
[07:12] <andy_25> thats bad
[07:12] <Polygon89> andy_25, yeah its annoying.
[07:12] <unimatrix9> ToolBust : there should be more buttons : mount , play , install etc
[07:13] <ToolBust> yes
[07:13] <chickenF> could be in package libavcodec0d from medibuntu.
[07:13] <Polygon89> andy_25, ok i think this is the command
[07:13] <ToolBust> but the only button avaliable is the mount
[07:14] <unimatrix9> ToolBust : this is how it should look http://images.linspire.com/application/poi/185038/5_0_1_0_0_0_50_linspire0_2/cedega-5.0-interfacescreenshot.jpg
[07:14] <Polygon89> andy_25, unrar -ex -p<PASSWORD>
[07:14] <unimatrix9> but you have to get support from channel #cedega or go #ubuntu-offtopic
[07:14] <fsckr> Polygon89, i found it in gconf-editor :)
[07:14] <andy_25> ok
[07:14] <Polygon89> fsckr,  cool

[07:18] <Kenvyro> Okay thanks, so uh I already have some partitioned space and one is with windows on it, one with music and one with movies. Im trying to delete the Windows partition and install Ubuntu, however after I successfully delete it and trying to go forward I get this: "No root file system is defined. Please correct this from the partitioning menu."
[07:18] <bruenig> or ibm
[07:19] <astro76> noob1zn, or get one from system76.com with Ubuntu installed
[07:19] <ward_> noob1zn, look for models that you like, then verify how ubuntu will run on them by searching the net/asking here
[07:19] <aman> astro76 can u plz tell me how to setup an internet connection in ubuntu 7.04
[07:19] <faileas> noob1zn: IBMs are mostly linux certified, or will work, in my experience
[07:19] <astro76> Kenvyro, you should use gparted (system>administration>gnome partition editor) to do this before you start the installer, it's much easier
[07:20] <Polygon89> Kenvyro, did you set the partiton as root? as in you go to edit partiton > mount point > /
[07:20] <noob1zn> hmm
[07:20] <kousotu> bruenig, <kousotu> can that edit volume as well?
[07:20] <noob1zn> ibm's are a bit pricey in south africa
[07:20] <ward_> noob1zn, look for models that you like, then verify how ubuntu will run on them by searching the net/asking here
[07:20] <aman> Andrew67 r u there
[07:20] <Rick00> hi
[07:20] <noob1zn> kool advice - thanks guys
[07:20] <aman> hi rick00
[07:21] <arun> I have downgraded one of my packages (ttf-dejavu). Ubuntu keeps telling me to upgrade it, can i disable the upgrading alerts just for this package?
[07:21] <aman> Rick00 can u help me
[07:21] <astro76> aman, you really need to give more info, what do you want to do with the network? why doesn't your internet work, modem, wireless, etc..?
[07:21] <Rick00> i would like to check someth .. i am currently running windowze.. and just installed ubuntu  but i dont see lilo installed and no boot loader
[07:22] <bruenig> Rick00, ubuntu defaults with grub
[07:22] <astro76> Rick00, well, FYI ubuntu uses GRUB
[07:22] <bruenig> you can install lilo though
[07:22] <aman> astr76 i have a direct connection broadband connected to lan card and working fine with windows
[07:22] <Rick00> i didnt see the option
[07:22] <|FrOst|> apt-get
[07:22] <noob1zn> guys- has any1 here used mono?
[07:22] <Rick00> or, could i have accidentally skipped it
[07:22] <kousotu> bruenig, <kousotu> can that edit volume as well?
[07:22] <aman> astro76 i have a direct connection broadband connected to lan card and working fine with windows
[07:22] <Kenvyro> astro76: Okay, I am in GParted now, but honestly I don't know what to start with.
[07:23] <arun> astro76?
[07:23] <tony_tomato> astro76: i get Intel Corporation 82801H (ICH8 Family) HD Audio Controller "unknown device 0121" does this mean its not installed?
[07:23] <bruenig> kousotu, no, it converts, for the love of god, it tells you what it does, can you not do anything on your own
[07:23] <aman> astro76 but in ubuntu i dont know much
[07:23] <bruenig> I can't be burdened to read the description, let me ask someone
[07:23] <bruenig> dur
[07:23] <Polygon89> bruenig, stop being mean
[07:23] <kousotu> bruenig, agaian... AFTER converting, can it edit volume?
[07:24] <bruenig> kousotu, does it say that
[07:24] <aman> astro76 r u there?
[07:24] <astro76> aman, yes but it takes me time to formulate an answer and type a response :)
[07:25] <arun> ha
[07:25] <Tribe5user> is Pine (the email client) in the repositries?
[07:25] <aman> ok
[07:25] <Kenvyro> Polygon89 where is the edit partition thingie
[07:25] <ward_> Can I overclock my centrino in ubuntu? (like clockgen for windows)
[07:25] <Ahadiel> Tribe5user, apt-cache search pine (see for yourself)
[07:25] <Polygon89> Kenvyro, one sec let me check
[07:25] <astro76> aman, this should just work, did it work on the same machine running windows?
[07:25] <unimatrix9> or are there any translators of ubuntu around?
