[21:20] <luciddr34m3r> Anybody have an idea why my battery wouldnt be working with my fresh gutsy install? I've tested several batteries. If not, is there a better place to ask?
[21:21] <speeddemon8803> lucid, that sounds like a hardware issue...hmmm
[21:21] <ejer> luciddr34m3r: what does 'not work' mean? when you unplug from power it dies?
[21:21] <chazco> ejer - The documents dont display as the do on Windows. Without the msfonts the app uses the best it can find, which comes close to rendering correctly, but not quite. With the msfonts the document renders badly (fonts visibly not padded out) and can end up losing over a page (but not losing it if that makes sense)
[21:21] <bulkah> how can umonth my sda1 disc lebel from  desktop
[21:22] <Darkmystere> Err, I was here uyesturday about network manager yea i installed the vpn plugin and it came back..then u upgraded and rebooted and its the same as it was again
[21:22] <luciddr34m3r> Yeah, it doesnt charge when I boot with it in. If the laptop is on and I remove it and put it back in, my keyboard and mouse lock up, but it starts charging.
[21:22] <prince_jammys> chazco: you could try copying the fonts into the fonts folder inside wine
[21:22] <chazco> prince_jammys - Im not using Wine, it has a native Linux version
[21:22] <ejer> chazco: very possible problem is within document itself.. i have never even heard of the app you are using, have you considered using OO or pdf?
[21:22] <prince_jammys> chazco: oh ok, sorry
[21:22] <jarrettgreen> so here's a question: when I usermod my own  home directory, does that take place immediately or on relogin - the reason I ask, is when I ftp'd in right after doing that, it didn't work, but then I relogged in to see if it took on the shell and then it worked
[21:22] <twosouls82> ejer: one last question; on the faq of puppet they continuously mention "server", can I read "client" here?
[21:22] <fliegenderfrosch> bulkah: you mean that the partition is still mouted, but the icon doesn't show up anymore?
[21:22] <luciddr34m3r> Me and maybe 10 other classmates have the same exact laptop with ubuntu on it, and they don't have a problem... but I've tested with their batteries with no luck.
[21:22] <twosouls82> s/mention/mentions/
[21:22] <cobolfoo> jarrettgreen, relogin needed
[21:23] <chazco> ejer - Happens with mutliple documents... OO gets it worse than Textmaker (its fairly popular). PDF isnt accepted at uni :(
[21:23] <ejer> twosouls82: i think it needs a 'server', a central place you control clients from, this would be your workstation I suppose in some setups
[21:23] <chazco> ejer - PDF also doesnt solve the problem if i need to download a .doc and print it here
[21:23] <ejer> well OO handles .doc fine
[21:23] <rand0m1nt> hello, didn't someone made a distro-upgrade and get problems with sysvinit?
[21:23] <luciddr34m3r> Oddly enough, the power manager claims I have two battery bays, both at 0%. But I have only 1 bay. The laptop will stay on for about 10 seconds without AC power.
[21:23] <chazco> ejer - It doesnt render them as Office does. Textmaker gets much closer, but still not perfect - when it should be
[21:23] <bulkah> hmm ok.
[21:24] <luciddr34m3r> I just reinstalled Ubuntu today so I'd know I never messed anything up.
[21:24] <ceil420> !opengl
[21:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about opengl - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:24] <ceil420> :x
[21:24] <twosouls82> ejer: if that's so it is able to deal with multiple servers :) we'll see
[21:24] <ejer> chazco: that is a document problem then IMO... word uses lots of weird formatting
[21:24] <rand0m1nt> hello, didn't someone made a distro-upgrade and get problems with sysvinit?
[21:24] <ejer> twosouls82: clients can be servers... clients are machines accepting patches etc.... they are puppet clients altho they may be mail servers etc..
[21:24] <_mug> hail to the toast :P
[21:24] <chazco> ejer - I would agree - except when converted to .odt or even .tmd (the Textmaker) format it still happens. I'm 99% sure its something to do with the MS fonts
[21:25] <bulkah> my laptop was opening i take an err massge  that is :
[21:25] <chazco> If only because installing them has such a drastic (and oddly, bad) effect on the apperance
[21:25] <ejer> chazco: as long as MS fonts are installed, what other problem do you think it could be then
[21:25] <bulkah> pci bug # 81 what is this
[21:25] <chazco> ejer - I was thinking something preventing the usual padding/spacing or something
[21:25] <bulkah> and what i must must do
[21:25] <ejer> if you want to send me an example I will look chazco
[21:25] <ejer> chazco, you have reset the font size etc?
[21:26] <luciddr34m3r> ejer, speeddemon8803: any of that batter info help at all, or ring any bells? i couldnt find any info on a similar problem online, and already looked in the help forum
[21:26] <chazco> ejer - Tried everything that seems obvious (although the solution probably will be simple)... am trying a few last ideas. If I dont make progress i'll send you an example
[21:26] <saff> hey all, need a hand getting my vid card drivers working (nvidia 7600gt, on gutsy). when drivers install with restricted manager, X won't start at all after reboot ("no screens found"), when installing by hand the drivers work, but direct rendering is off
[21:26] <speeddemon8803> luciddr34m3r: I just bought a new battery about a week ago.
[21:26] <rand0m1nt> didn't no one has problems with sysvinit?
[21:26] <bluefoxx> ok, after a horrible surprise system crash<shakes fist at{imaginary} person tripping over cord> and rebooting a few times, i got into the scsi bios util[usb was screwed up for some reason] and did a low level format on the scsi drive, it works fine and just formatted it to ext3. also got sata working again, cable was shorting itself out inside somehow, twisted it around and rebooted a bunch of times and now its back<crosses fingers
[21:27] <bluefoxx>  in hope of not having to reboot until absoulutely needed>
[21:27] <saff> i've tried switching up the xorg.conf a few times, no dice
[21:27] <ejer> that is a hardware problem luciddr34m3r IMO, try cleaning the battery contacts in laptop with pencil eraser
[21:27] <Yahooada1> Hey guys, the shortcut on my keyboard to change volume changes the "Speaker" channels volume, but i want it to change the "Volume" channels volume, how can i change it?
[21:27] <luciddr34m3r> speeddemon8803: I've checked it on multiple batteries... if its hardware, its my mobo or something
[21:27] <ejer> Yahooada1: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultimediaKeys
[21:28] <killux> hey, I have a linksys wusb11 v 2.8 and im running gusty
[21:28] <Yahooada1> ejer - thanks :)
[21:28] <saff> weird problem, lucidd
[21:28] <iositd> yeah this is moar like it ...
[21:28] <killux> this device kinda works but when booting up, the device cause ubuntu to stall for about 2 minutes
[21:28] <bluefoxx> my only problem is that for some reason i can't seem to get past either "waiting for root file system" or "loading hardware drivers" when booting normally sometimes. taking out the un-used wi-fi card has taken care of the latter, but the former still persists D: any suggestions?
[21:28] <killux> so boot up time is very lengthy
[21:28] <killux> does anyone know how to properly install this device?
[21:29] <bluefoxx> and im also wondering how hot plugging workss in linux, as at the store i go to the hot plug both saa and scsi drives w/o rebooting theyr comps, which run linux
[21:30] <tilgovi> So I'm home for the weekend, which means my normal nfs share isn't available
[21:30] <tilgovi> Whenever automount is running, it seems like nautilus won't start and I have some problems logging in sometimes
[21:30] <bluefoxx> and i hope to get some more scsi drives and hot plug them into the system, mount them/configure them as some sort of RAID setup, and backup my system across them
[21:30] <tilgovi> however, stopping automount gives me Couldn't stop automount for /net
[21:30] <tilgovi> Any idea?
[21:30] <ejer> tilgovi: in your fstab, add intr in the options section
[21:31] <tushyd> anyone know if it's possible to run piclens in ubuntu?

[21:31] <luciddr34m3r> So no ideas why it would cause my keyboard and mouse to quit on me? The screen still refreshes even... or know where else I could go ask?
[21:31] <alison_oxo> what them are you guys using for ubuntu?
[21:32] <Yahooada1> to install the flash plugin for firefox, what directory should i enter (it suggests /usr/lib/mozilla but doesnt accept that)
[21:32] <ejer> tilgovi: how are you mounting them
[21:32] <andres_> hi all
[21:32] <ejer> sudo aptitude install flashplugin-nonfree Yahooada1
[21:32] <tilgovi> ejer: I have the default auto.net and auto.master in which I uncomment the /net line
[21:32] <fliegenderfrosch> alison_oxo: don't you find something on gnome-look.org?
[21:32] <LetsGo67> How come Ubuntu shows two nm-applets when I start up?  How can I permanently remove one?
[21:32] <bulkah> u still here ?
[21:33] <tilgovi> ejer: intr is in the options in auto.net
[21:33] <luisbg> if I rm in a terminal, is there a way to get back the file?
[21:33] <acee1234> is there any way to keep ubuntu from crashing when logging off or restarting x? using ati x1400 restricted drivers sorry if this double posts

[21:36] <peanuter> thanks
[21:36] <fliegenderfrosch> alison_oxo: well, so what are you looking for if you don't like one of 1200 themes?
[21:36] <iositd> ejer, wtf it seems like you know everything there is to know about ubuntu :p
[21:36] <ejer> nah google does
[21:37] <speeddemon8803> iositd: that would be impossible ;)
[21:37] <iositd> lol
[21:37] <`Tanner> If i run ubuntu via live disc, can i take out the disk and resume in windows XP, no files erased or anything?
[21:37] <speeddemon8803> iositd: unless your that famous Mark..whatshisname :P
[21:37] <ejer> yes `Tanner
[21:37] <`Tanner> ok, Thanks.
[21:37] <iositd> speeddemon8803, ofcourse it would be impossible, but i've been watchin for a couple hours and not only did he help me out but almost everyone else :p
[21:37] <speeddemon8803> iositd: Shuttleworth! thats it!
[21:38] <acee1234> iositd: any ideas?

[21:39] <_mug> `Tanner: taking out the disc while running ubuntulive may not be a good idea, but unless you mount a windows-partition and do damage by force no changes will be made to your windiws

[21:53] <cs189> Hi, who/where can I make a suggestion for the live cd? I have a bluetooth keyboard and I think until bluetooth can be auto setup it should not be turned on by default; on the live cd it disables my keyboard dongle that I'd need to use to config the bluetooth; right?
[21:53] <ejer> chase_: they are free, look for clamav
[21:54] <ejer> !firewall | chase_
[21:54] <ubotu> chase_: 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).
[21:54] <chase_> EJER - Ok ! thanks :)
[21:54] <macogw> cs189: ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list, i think
[21:54] <chase_> now.... how to set up a new irc server in xhcat :P
[21:54] <WhiteNerd> Anyone know why the Ubuntu Server 7.1 Image is so slow. I've tried many different CDs and CD-Drives and they all are SO SLOW
[21:54] <mzanfardino> ejer: yeah, I'm familiar with the who -u and w commands... I just didn't recall the skill command.  Thanks
[21:54] <sudobash> ClamAV rocks
[21:54] <macogw> cs189: or suggest it as a blueprint on launchpad
[21:54] <alison_oxo> ejer: i dont have system>prefs>appearance>visual effects
[21:54] <cs189> macogw: thanks
[21:54] <chase_> wow, so many users in here
[21:54] <alison_oxo> and i dont have "advanced desktop settings"
[21:54] <macogw> cs189: i guess i couldve just whispered that since im sittin next to you
[21:54] <speeddemon8803> !viruses
[21:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about viruses - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:54] <sudobash> but the win32 ver sucks because it needs .NET
[21:54] <speeddemon8803> hehe :)
[21:54] <macogw> chase_: always
[21:54] <chase_> ubotu OK! thanks
[21:54] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ok! thanks - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[21:54] <chase_> maco --- nice
[21:55] <speeddemon8803> i love it, ubotu has no clue about viruses :)
[21:55] <WhiteNerd> Anyone know why the Ubuntu Server 7.1 Image is so slow. I've tried many different CDs and CD-Drives and they all are SO SLOW
[21:55] <Isaksen> I am trying to make a deb package! where should a program be send to?
[21:55] <sudobash> ubuntu doesnt get viruses
[21:55] <prince_jammys> alison_oxo: what happens when you do alt F2 and then type "ccsm"
[21:55] <speeddemon8803> Exactly sudobash :)

[21:55] <julabask>  i seriously need help i have fglrx version 8.455 but when i try to run turn on extra desktop effects in appearance it says desktop effects could not be enabled. i have an ati x1300 and compiz is installed. can someone please help me i love those effects and its worked before but i cant figure out what wrong now
[21:55] <Isaksen> at the moment i put it in /opt/myprig
[21:55] <macogw> chase_: cs189 & i are sitting in our cs189 system administration class right now
[21:55] <chase_> So....should I even bother with some firewall package?
[21:55] <ejer> alison_oxo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion
[21:55] <sudobash> I suppose one will get written though
[21:55] <chase_> I dual with XP Pro
[21:55] <chase_> sorry for mentioning that :)
[21:55] <alison_oxo> ccsm
[21:55] <alison_oxo> The program 'ccsm' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
[21:55] <alison_oxo> sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[21:55] <alison_oxo> yeah i did that
[21:56] <macogw> chase_: iptables is the firewall. its built into the kernel
[21:56] <sudobash> chase get a spare pc and run OpenBSD on it
[21:56] <chase_> maco - haha nice! good wi-fi in class?
[21:56] <ejer> chase_: you are a million times safer on ubuntu :)
[21:56] <prince_jammys> alison_oxo: you did what?
[21:56] <chase_> ejer - I here :)
[21:56] <macogw> chase_: you can modify its rules manually using the iptables command or use a graphical one like firestarter
[21:56] <ejer> approximately
[21:56] <alison_oxo> installed that manager
[21:56] <WhiteNerd> Anyone know why the Ubuntu Server 7.1 Image is so slow. I've tried many different CDs and CD-Drives and they all are SO SLOW
[21:56] <ubuntux> is there an easyway to change the mount path and name of an usb connected storage device like a usbdrive?
[21:56] <alison_oxo> compizconfig-settings-manager
[21:56] <chase_> maco - excellent, I see! thanks
[21:56] <chase_> you guys are helpful
[21:56] <tushyd> when i run gnome-obex-server I get "unable to initialize OBEX source" and "coulnd't initialise OBEX listener"
[21:56] <ejer> alison_oxo: follow instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion
[21:56] <chase_> I appreciate it
[21:56] <sudobash> WhiteNerd try the DVD
[21:56] <chase_> this is my new channel :)
[21:56] <macogw> chase_: all ports are technically open by default, but nothing listens on any of them by default. if you start a service like sshd, itll listen on its port and the rest will reject all data
[21:56] <sudobash> and more RAM
[21:56] <tinin> How could I partition the HD of a notebook with 32 of ram?
[21:57] <chase_> maco - -- I see!
[21:57] <alison_oxo> ok "ccsm" opens up advanced desktop effects
[21:57] <WhiteNerd> Sudobash: Does the DVD run any faster?
[21:57] <sudobash> tinin fdisk
[21:57] <sudobash> yes
[21:57] <chase_> I will retrieve "Firestarter"
[21:57] <prince_jammys> alison_oxo: good
[21:57] <sudobash> installs much quicker also
[21:57] <ompaul> chase_, you don't need it
[21:57] <prince_jammys> alison_oxo: look around there for "video plugin"
[21:57] <chase_> ompaul--- hmmm ok...
[21:57] <riddlebox> does anyone know of a way to send an email from cli, and attach a file?
[21:58] <macogw> chase_: nothing listens on any ports by default, so nothing can get in
[21:58] <julabask> does any one know how to fully uninstall compiz from ubuntu including all config files from the home folder for it
[21:58] <tinin> sudobash I mean, do I need live cd with fdisk?
[21:58] <alison_oxo> ok wait prince_jammys
[21:58] <Slart> riddlebox: there must be lots of mail-clients for command line out there.. tried google?
[21:58] <WhiteNerd> Thanks
[21:58] <prince_jammys> alison_oxo: luck?
[21:58] <ompaul> !virus > chase_ (check the message from the bot - might help understand that this is not the same as the platform you are most likely moving from)
[21:58] <sudobash> it can run off of floppy
[21:58] <ejer> julabask: why not just turn it off
[21:58] <chase_> Just to test it out, I purchased a DVD media kit on the Sun website
[21:58] <Slart> riddlebox: you're going to use it in a script?
[21:58] <jpeterman> anyone know a channel where i can ask questions on general-hardware issues?
[21:58] <alison_oxo> it says i have "blur" effect enabled, but it isnt working
[21:58] <alison_oxo> do i need to restart x ?
[21:58] <julabask> does any one know how to fully uninstall compiz from ubuntu including all config files from the home folder for it or old config files that could be hiding.
[21:58] <sudobash> you can make one with a 2000 installation i think
[21:58] <riddlebox> Slart, yes
[21:58] <ejer> riddlebox: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mailx
[21:58] <sudobash> or you can download a fdisk boot image
[21:58] <iositd> alison_oxo, the best thing wuold be to enable wobbly windows and test if your windows when you drag them move wobbly :-)
[21:59] <riddlebox> thanks
[21:59] <sudobash> and use rawrite to write it to floppy
[21:59] <iositd> that is the easiest to check
[21:59] <prince_jammys> alison_oxo: try it. or you could do      metacity --replace and then compiz --replace
[21:59] <fiddybux> does anyone experience preference windows that aren't big enough for the content their meant to display?
[21:59] <dgjones> julabask, sounds like your missing a step in the install, "sudo apt-get install xserver-xgl" and then restart, that normally solves the problem with ati radeon or ati radeon xpress cards
[21:59] <macogw> chase_: if someone was already in there...somehow...like if you installed a trojan or something and it's phoning home... it could send info, but nobody can get in unless there's a service listening (like ssh) and they get in through that service (and ssh is about the only one that's going to let htem execute commands on your box) but by default there's no ssh server installed anyway.  you're 100% secure by default
[21:59] <rinaldi_> sometimes videos are just displayed as pink and greenish lines. what could be going wrong?
[21:59] <macogw> chase_: at least as far as remote is concerned...
[21:59] <Slart> fiddybux: yes.. usually I just resize them
[21:59] <macogw> chase_: with physical access, there's no such thing as security
[21:59] <ejer> rinaldi_: can be encrypted video
[21:59] <julabask> ejer: because i installed my ubuntu with a home folder from another version of 7.10 ubuntu but ubuntu seems to have held on to olde config files from my other version and is getting confuse
[21:59] <fiddybux> slart: yes i resize all the time
[22:00] <julabask> ejer: because i installed my ubuntu with a home folder from another version of 7.10 ubuntu but ubuntu seems to have held on to olde config files from my other version and is getting confused
[22:00] <chase_> maco - yeah
[22:00] <fiddybux> slart: it's annoying
[22:00] <iositd> macogw, i disagree. If you can overflow a buffer and fill it with shellcode, you could, if the program you've exploited had root, get a rootshell ;-)
[22:00] <macogw> julabask: sudo aptitude purge compiz
[22:00] <alison_oxo> i dont understand why my my desktop effects are not working
[22:00] <prince_jammys> yep
[22:00] <fiddybux> slart: firefox is a bugger for it
[22:00] <rinaldi_> ejer: well it happens to all my videos for a while, but a reboot or simply waiting then trying again will do the trick....
[22:00] <macogw> iositd: ok fine, you're 99% secure :P
[22:00] <tdawgedogg> can someone walk me through how to install and compile my first ubuntu program via terminal
[22:00] <alison_oxo> its installed, i enabled the effects, but i dont get the wobbly effect or blur
[22:00] <iositd> macogw, yeah that's more like it :p
[22:00] <iositd> macogw, compare that to the 1% secure from m$
[22:00] <ejer> rinaldi_: see if it happens when you are running an opengl prog like google earth
[22:00] <Slart> tdawgedogg: what program is it?
[22:00] <tdawgedogg> hamachi
[22:01] <macogw> iositd: thats not something a firewall has any effect on though...well, except the phone home part...in which case you block outgoing ports, not incoming ones
[22:01] <chase_> yeah, physical is physical :)
[22:01] <tdawgedogg> i didnt see it on the respitories
[22:01] <julabask> i did the purge and then reinstall seemed to not help i am going to try the xgl install package someone recomended above
[22:01] <chase_> then I can call the cops
[22:01] <Slart> tdawgedogg: never heard of it.. better ask someone that has worked with it before
[22:01] <iositd> macogw, if it's a smart firewall it'll filter out the shellcode and thus preventing the overflow ;-)
[22:01] <rinaldi_> ejer: also if i disable/enable compiz (depending on what its on in the first place) it works too, but il give google earth a try
[22:01] <tdawgedogg> its not hard i just have to follow the wiki
[22:02] <ejer> rinaldi_: i am not sure why, but it happens when using compiz and an opengl app
[22:02] <tdawgedogg> i know how to run the program....just getting it installed and where to put it is hard for me
[22:02] <tdawgedogg> im a linux nub
[22:02] <Slart> tdawgedogg: ok.. lemme check the wiki.. you have the source downloaded?
[22:02] <ejer> tdawgedogg: i install hamachi all the time
[22:02] <tdawgedogg> yeah heres link'
[22:02] <fiddybux> won't it just work with checkinstall?
[22:02] <rinaldi_> ejer: i have blender, thats open gl so il try that
[22:02] <tdawgedogg> https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/list.asp
[22:02] <esteth> How do i detach a process from the terminal i started it in? I want to start a server application through ssh, but want it to keep running after i logout.
[22:03] <fiddybux> assuming you have sudo apt-get build-essential installed
[22:03] <ejer> tdawgedogg: you just do 'tar zxvf hamachi-0.9.tar,gz', cd hamachi, sudo make install, sudo tuncfg
[22:03] <S4nD3r> I know that here is about ubuntu... Id like to know what package to install to have sound themes playing in gnome!!!
[22:03] <tdawgedogg> from what directory
[22:03] <Slart> tdawgedogg: ok.. you have the source.. in a tar.gz file?
[22:03] <tdawgedogg> where do i download hamachi too
[22:03] <tdawgedogg> desktop
[22:03] <ejer> tdawgedogg: but that only gives you a cli application, no gui... you have to then install hamachi-gui which takes all sorts of dependencies
[22:03] <void^> esteth: 'program &' or use screen
[22:03] <Slart> tdawgedogg: desktop is fine
[22:04] <ejer> tdawgedogg: unless you are pretty comfortable installing stuff, this is gonna be a harder one for ya
[22:04] <tdawgedogg> shit i want hamachi like windows version
[22:04] <tushyd> help! running gnome-obex-server gives me this: couldn't initialise OBEX listener
[22:04] <tdawgedogg> shit...why isnt this one on the respitories
[22:04] <julabask> xserve-xgl did not fix it
[22:04] <esteth> void^: I'll need screen then, unfortunately. & doesn't detach the process, only lets you keep using the terminal
[22:04] <tdawgedogg> its a popular as hell program

[22:05] <fevel> heyheyhey
[22:05] <void^> esteth: 'nohup program &' then
[22:05] <fevel> anyone using this new kde4??
[22:05] <rinaldi_> ejer: well i started blender and compiz is on and the videos don't work again, it could be a coincidence though because i never had it running before, and compiz is on and off...
[22:06] <ejer> blender rinaldi_
[22:06] <ejer> that is cause

[22:07] <iKap> is there a command to upgrade pidgin through terminal?
[22:07] <tolecnal> argh! this is sooo frustrating. ubuntu installs nicely, I do a 'aptitude update' and 'aptitude safe-upgrade', install the restricted drivers set including nvidia into xorg and set up compiz (flat file). everything works fine and speedy, until I reboot. then the machine just halts and init of either ssh or cupsd, but I can still go to another console and log in as a normal user. using sudo doens't work, nor do 'su -' (have set a root passwd). Command
[22:07] <ejer> rinaldi_: try running mplayer with -vo xv
[22:07] <tolecnal> looking at the error logs tells me nothing
[22:07] <rinaldi_> ok
[22:07] <Slart> iKap: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:07] <tolecnal> what might be wrong here?
[22:07] <Darkmystere> Hey, can some one help me it seems everytime i reboot network-manager is removed....like if i rebooted right now id have to put CD in and reinstall network-manager to be able to connect to wireless..
[22:07] <Darkmystere> because when i reboot it doesnt hav enable roaming and the applet doesnt load even if i did nm-applet
[22:07] <ejer> why safe-upgrade tolecnal
[22:07] <tushyd> fiddybux, any ideas?
[22:08] <asathoor> iKap >> perhaps # sudo apt-get upgrade
[22:08] <fiddybux> tushyd...check PM
[22:08] <tolecnal> ejer: because when I use 'aptitude upgrade' it tells me to use 'safe-upgrade' instead
[22:08] <tushyd> fiddybux, how do I?
[22:08] <tdawgedogg> well related to hamachi....what is the best vnc client for linux
[22:08] <Slart> !best
[22:08] <ubotu> Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, join #ubuntu-bots and ask there.
[22:08] <ejer> tolecnal: i would think you should do a dist-upgrade
[22:08] <fiddybux> tushyd: i thought you should see pop up
[22:08] <ASTURIAS> Can someone help me with a problem installing Ubuntu?
[22:08] <Slart> there are lots.. krdc is the one I use
[22:09] <tushyd> i'm in xchat, didn't see anything
[22:09] <luisa> Can anyone tell me another way of installing Flash player plug in for firefox? From Flash website it doesnt work, from Add/Remove it doesn't work.
[22:09] <Slart> ASTURIAS: not unless you tell us what it is
[22:09] <tolecnal> ejer: and yes, I use aptitude instead of apt-get, but that really shouldn't matter should it
[22:09] <ejer> nope
[22:09] <tolecnal> luisa: apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[22:09] <fiddybux> tushyd: do you have the following installed?  gnome-vfs-obexftp, libopenobex1, openobex-apps
[22:09] <rinaldi_> ejer: videos work ok like that, with or without an opengl app running
[22:10] <ejer> rinaldi_: yup, so edit /etc/mplayer/mplayer.conf and change default video device
[22:10] <tinin> I need to add some ram to this notebook. It has a pc66 sdram sodimm slot. Would a pc100 or pc133 work too?
[22:10] <luisa> tolecnal: flash is already the newest version, but firefox keeps telling me i need flash to see vids
[22:10] <ubuntu> does a swap partition have to be right next to the ext3 partition
[22:10] <ubuntu> or can it be on the other side of the drive
[22:10] <fiddybux> tinin: should be backward compatible, as long as the pins line up
[22:10] <ASTURIAS> I have Ubuntu in one of my laptops, but now I'mtrying to install it with the Live CD on another laptop and it is extremely slow,so, I downloaded the Alternate version and since my CD Rom does not work, I used an USB, the installation loads but it stops with this eror:An installation step failed [...] The failing step is : choose a mirror of the Ubuntu archive., Is that a bug?, because I go back and nothing happens!!!
[22:11] <tushyd> fiddybux, i'm not sure about libopenobex1 but the others i do
[22:11] <ejer> ubuntu it can be anywhere
[22:11] <Slart> luisa: start by removing it and then reinstall it.. "sudo apt-get remove --purge flash-plugin-nonfree".
[22:11] <tushyd> fiddybux, actually i do
[22:11] <fiddybux> tushyd: install that...I'm sure I had the same problem and that fixed it
[22:11] <ejer> ASTURIAS: it means your network is not up usually
[22:11] <ubuntu> cool
[22:11] <Slart> luisa: start by removing it and then reinstall it.. "sudo apt-get remove --purge flashplugin-nonfree"... then "sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree"
[22:11] <tinin> fiddybux thanx
[22:11] <tolecnal> ejer: the strange thing is, the system does not halt when booting into single user. and all commands work fine without a hitch, but as soon as I boot into a normal boot it hangs.
[22:11] <ubuntu> can i specify ubuntu to use a partition already made?
[22:11] <tushyd> fiddybux, says i already have it
[22:12] <ubuntu> oh wait nevermind i thought this partition was 2 gigs its 2 megs
[22:12] <fiddybux> tushyd: ok...well what was the error you get?
[22:12] <Stwange> I have done sudo chown root somefile, how do I make it so noone but root can open it?
[22:12] <sudobash> if it is compatible and healthy
[22:12] <Slart> luisa: they've been updating that flash plugin so many times now.. I think they didn't cross all the t's or perhaps missed a dot over an i =)
[22:12] <rinaldi_> ejer: its already vo=xv

[22:13] <adac2> how can i check for errors i probably made by making an entry in /etc/fstab
[22:13] <ejer> rinaldi_: makesure there is not something in ~/.mplayer/config,

[22:14] <rinaldi_> ejer: nope

[22:15] <fiddybux> tushyd: I don't know then...my solution was to install gnome-vfs-obexftp when i couldn't get it working...from here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup?highlight=%28bluetooth%29

[22:19] <kakei> fiddybux, how can be that possible, windows just worked fine, before
[22:19] <Slart> agibby55: you've changed the config file?
[22:19] <agibby55> yes

[22:20] <tushyd> sudobash, what is Back|Track 3
[22:20] <mindframe-> is there anything in ubuntu that would affect firefox sending dns requests through a socks5 proxy?  no matter how i configure firefox or foxyproxy dns requests are still done on the client side.
[22:20] <fiddybux> tushyd: is everything that should be ticked in the bluetooth prefs?
[22:20] <aladdinsane> why on earth do i get Grub Error 18 at boot up when i just removed a disk i just use for storage, I have 3 disks on my system, one with XP, one with Xubuntu and the one i just talked about, any one understand?
[22:20] <sudobash> a linux distro
[22:20] <ubuntu> the mount point on a new install should be / right?
[22:20] <patogen> I've set a bash alias a "god = sudo" but now if I set "newera" as an alias to upgrade all packages ... then the command "god newera"
[22:20] <tushyd> i can't find any bluetooth prefs, fiddybux
[22:20] <patogen> doesn't work ...
[22:20] <patogen> how can I solve this?
[22:21] <tushyd> fiddybux, nevermind
[22:21] <patogen> does newera need to be an alias for root?

[22:23] <szamer> hello there =)
[22:23] <draigfaol> Hello szamer
[22:24] <tushyd> fiddybux, all the services are checked
[22:24] <prince_jammys> patogen: paste your newera alias command
[22:24] <tushyd> still get the error
[22:24] <fiddybux> tushyd: Hmmmm
[22:24] <szamer> im a linux newbe i need need some advice
[22:24] <eax> !samba | eax
[22:25] <patogen> prince_jammys: in .bashrc "alias newera='apt-get upgrade'"
[22:25] <draigfaol> szamer: First, did you read the FAQ?
[22:25] <No1> ejer: ty for the help, so a reinstall should keep my apps/settings intact?
[22:25] <fiddybux> tushyd: this is a tricky one
[22:25] <aladdinsane> ejer: hehe, good tip, im sure its very unusual that people want to take a disk out, well, i'll have a look at the manual
[22:25] <macogw> szamer: ask your question
[22:25] <fiddybux> tushyd: have you tried another distro?
[22:25] <ejer> No1: no, not necessarily
[22:25] <tushyd> no
[22:25] <ejer> aladdinsane: grub sees usb drives like regular drives, this is the problem
[22:25] <tushyd> fiddybux, if i run Applications>Accessories>Bluetooth Analyzer, and I hit new local connection I get a "can't live import fro localhost"
[22:25] <ejer> No1: always backup first
[22:25] <szamer> i have freshly installed ubuntu 7.10, with compiz
[22:25] <fiddybux> tushyd: try installing innotek virtualbox, and run another distro like Fedora 8
[22:26] <hoarycripple>  exit
[22:26] <ubuntu> how big is the default swap
[22:26] <aladdinsane> ejer: im not talking about usb drives
[22:26] <szamer> and i want to know is there enything more i can install to get more cool destop effects
[22:26] <No1> :P gotchya on that, so a x64 backup can be restored on i386 of the same version?
[22:26] <macogw> !ccsm | szamer
[22:26] <ubotu> szamer: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), install 'compizconfig-settings-manager'. A new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz-fusion
[22:26] <needhelpin> I need assistance with 2 things.  1) I am being told I have a Read-only file system when trying to updatedb.  mount says otherwise    2) when I click on menus it takes about 2 seconds for the menu to appear...anyway to make it instant?
[22:26] <ejer> aladdinsane: ok, well even more so then
[22:26] <prince_jammys> patogen: yeah i just tried and didnt work ... mmm.  sudo is a special command that invokes another command , probably has to do with it. not sure
[22:27] <szamer> oh and by the way, excouse my english, im from poland heh :)
[22:27] <draigfaol> sudo allows you to run a command as root without actually logging in as root.
[22:27] <aladdinsane> ejer: ok you lost me in your logic now, well, thnx anyway, i'll look at the grub manual, maybe i'll find a solution there
[22:27] <uniXOs> Guys, i need some help here, can the X server overload and damage the monitor if i try to emulate a virtual OS in graphic mode'
[22:27] <patogen> prince_jammys: But since it uses the root account (even though disabled) maybe I can edit roots .bashrc?
[22:27] <fiddybux> tushyd: I'm at a loss, i would try innotek next and see what a different os does...this way you can hopefully eliminate hardware probs
[22:27] <uniXOs> ?
[22:27] <ejer> aladdinsane: removing a drive without changing any configs will tend to confuse any operating system
[22:27] <prince_jammys> patogen: you can try. i doubt it, but give it a shot
[22:28] <draigfaol> uniXOs: Not that I know of.
[22:28] <prince_jammys> patogen: that just might be it
[22:28] <ASTURIAS> The problem is the network configuration then?
[22:28] <tushyd> fiddybux, well thanks man
[22:28] <macogw> szamer: there's a #ubuntu-pl if there's anything that's easier for you to ask/understand in polish than english
[22:28] <needhelpin> uniXO's: Possible, bt the monitor should be able to look after itself...ie it shouldn't happen
[22:28] <szamer> oh thanks mate
[22:28] <fiddybux> tushyd: seriously innotek virtualbox will be a painfree way to test for you...and no prob
[22:29] <aladdinsane> ejer, since windows 3.11 windows have never been confused, as far as i have experienced anyway, if you dont removed the system disk that was :)
[22:29] <WhiteNerd> Is there a way to shrink the Ubuntu Desktop disks? I need it to fit on a 650MB disk instead of the 700MB ones
[22:29] <tushyd> fiddybux, i shall give it a try this weekend
[22:29] <draigfaol> WN: Nope.
[22:29] <fiddybux> tushyd: go for a well developed os....like fedora 8 or open suse 10.whatever
[22:29] <LHX2> uhhh... WN... you can't just shrink an iso file
[22:29] <patogen> prince_jammys: Didn't work, well it's not that important :)
[22:29] <ejer> aladdinsane: ah well, guess you removed an important one then
[22:29] <tushyd> yeah, definitely
[22:29] <cyberius> Hi! I have written my own script to make screenshots. How can I replace the normal "Screenshot programm" with the script when pressing the "Print" Button?
[22:30] <LHX2> why are you buying 650's anyways? :-)
[22:30] <pepe> alguien español?
[22:30] <ejer> WhiteNerd: not easily, but I think alternate CD is a bit smalleer
[22:30] <draigfaol> WN: Unless you have a program to modify ISOs, but even then, you'd cut out a lot of stuff.
[22:30] <WhiteNerd> DraigFaol: So, I couldn't mount the .iso nad remove packages i don't need
[22:30] <prince_jammys> patogen: try your newera as "sudo apt-get blah blah" whatever you wanted
[22:30] <uniXOs> The thing is, i did it and my monitor is now showing some nice white lines, it has his years too, but i want to be sure that my X system is not damaged
[22:30] <fiddybux> see ya'll
[22:30] <AlbinoClock> I'm trying to share the speakers on my XP machine with my Ubuntu system over my network. I got PulseAudio for Ubuntu and Windows, but the version for Windows doesn't work. Are there any alternatives?
[22:30] <ASTURIAS> Can this error message : An installation step failed [...] The failing step is : choose a mirror of the Ubuntu archive, occurs when installing Ubuntu occurs because the network is not configured correctly?
[22:30] <szamer> ok thanks macogw and cya folks
[22:30] <LHX2> WN well i guess you could... but what if the installer hangs?
[22:30] <WhiteNerd> LHX2: I have a re-writeble one and thats it ATM to use
[22:30] <aladdinsane> ejer: no i didnt, thats why i asked here, cause its strange that it complains when its nothing on it
[22:30] <WhiteNerd> EJER: By only 5mb
[22:30] <LHX2> k
[22:30] <No1> ejer: sorry to keep bugging ya, which app would you recommend for backups.. yes.... in linux I'm that noob :P
[22:31] <ejer> aladdinsane: are you sure? i think you probably installed grub to it accidentally
[22:31] <draigfaol> WN: Have you tried using the alternate install ISOs?
[22:31] <josspyker> !backup
[22:31] <LHX2> WhiteNerd: I get it. I would go withs some sort of alternate install
[22:31] <ejer> No1: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/unison-file-synchronization-tool.html is pretty easy to use
[22:31] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up.

[22:31] <cyberius>  Hi! I have written my own script to make screenshots. How can I replace the normal "Screenshot programm" with the script when pressing the "Print" Button?
[22:32] <aladdinsane>  ejer: then i wouldnt get the grub error message when i took it out
[22:32] <WhiteNerd> LHX2: the only other install of Ubuntu is the alternate but its not small enough
[22:32] <ejer> WhiteNerd: http://mirror.csclub.uwaterloo.ca/xubuntu-releases/7.10/release/xubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso is 566M
[22:32] <ASTURIAS> Can this error message : An installation step failed [...] The failing step is : choose a mirror of the Ubuntu archive, while installing Ubuntu occurs because the network is not configured correctly?
[22:32] <needhelpin> why is my /var directory telling me its read-only when mount says it isnt?
[22:32] <WhiteNerd> Is Xubuntu just a good and up-to-date?
[22:33] <draigfaol> Well, you could always go from a pervious version of Ubuntu that has a smaller ISO, and then update it from that version to the next.
[22:33] <ejer> aladdinsane: it is easy to fix, follow instructions from link I posted back up a bit, or type !grub
[22:33] <AtomicSpark> anyone know what file systems LVM supports?
[22:33] <LHX2> WhiteNerd: I believe the only difference is it uses XFCE4 instead of gnome
[22:33] <ejer> WhiteNerd: yes, comes with dif window manager, but you can install gnome after
[22:33] <soulburner> ASTURIAS, yes when you get stuck on that screen you just have to choose to not configure the network and manually configure it after you get to the desktop
[22:33] <WhiteNerd> Well it works for now anyways
[22:33] <WhiteNerd> thanks
[22:33] <aladdinsane> ejer: yeah im trying to find it right now
[22:33] <ejer> AtomicSpark: all regular linux ones at least
[22:33] <draigfaol> Welcome
[22:34] <draigfaol> So, who here is experienced at writing scripts?
[22:34] <ASTURIAS> Yes, but it wont let me proceed with the installation if it cannot connect to a mirror... How can I skip it if I'm using the Alternate 7.10 Gutsy
[22:34] <AtomicSpark> ejer: what about FAT? i know ubuntu's partition manager can make a FAT partition, if i could have that on a LVM too that would be great. mm system wide encryption.
[22:34] <ejer> why would you want that AtomicSpark
[22:35] <ejer> since windows won't read LVM that I know of
[22:35] <AlbinoClock> I'm trying to share the speakers on my XP machine with my Ubuntu system over my network. I got PulseAudio for Ubuntu and Windows, but the version for Windows doesn't work. Are there any alternatives?
[22:35] <draigfaol> ejer: There are programs available for Windows to allow it to read other formats.
[22:35] <Ayabara> hey. I'm trying to compile alsa from the source, but I get "Please specify the correct location via ALSAKERNELDIR environment variable". Any ideas?
[22:35] <AtomicSpark> ejer: oh it wont? darn.
[22:35] <ejer> draigfaol: LVM?
[22:35] <draigfaol> Yep.
[22:36] <LHX2> Ayabara: Is there a particular reason you need to install from source and not just use a binary?
[22:36] <draigfaol> I have it on this desktop.
[22:36] <AtomicSpark> ejer: I wanted to duel boot and have encrypted LVM underneeth it all. guess I cant do that. :\
[22:36] <Cornel> hello, where can i download the network installer for ubuntu? (it's a small iso file, 30mb or so)
[22:36] <TheDoyle> hello all.
[22:36] <draigfaol> I'll be back.

[22:36] <evilbug> how can i completely remove kde from my comp? i installed with> "sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop" and i tried removing it via "sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop" but didn't remove much of anything.
[22:36] <Ayabara> LHX2: yep. there's a bug in alsa for my laptop (dell xps m1530), and I'm helping the alsa-devels to test a fix
[22:36] <macogw> AtomicSpark: i think you can do it if you have a separate /boot partition
[22:37] <ejer> AtomicSpark: i guess you can read LVM http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs but it is new and I would not trust it at all, and I am sure the encryption would be nearly impossible to do properly
[22:37] <TheDoyle> does installing the kubuntu package auto-remove gnome?
[22:37] <macogw> ejer: HUH??
[22:37] <TheDoyle> you may be able to just change the windows manager
[22:37] <Junaos> Whenever I try to run fglrxinfo or glxinfo --display :0 it kills X.  Where can I look for error messages/output?
[22:37] <macogw> ejer: its not super new and its encryption is just fine...
[22:37] <TheDoyle> **(Anyone familiar with Virtualbox and Host Interface Networking setup - tap/br/tun ???
[22:38] <ejer> macogw: you think he could set up a reliable LVM container with encrypted filesystem and dual boot on it?
[22:38] <macogw> ejer: VM as in Virtual Machine extensions for the kernel is new, but the Volume Manager isnt
[22:38] <LHX2> Ayabara: I understand... it sounds like either ./configure isn't picking up where the alsa kernel is... maybe find the directory where the alsakernal is and specifiy with with a "setevn XXXXXX XXXXXX"
[22:38] <ejer> macogw: we are talking about a windows LVM driver
[22:38] <ejer> which is new
[22:38] <LHX2> Ayabara: oops I meant "setenv VARIABLE /foo/bar/"
[22:38] <macogw> ejer: ooo i thought just the linux was supposed to be encrypted

[22:39] <NiSoOo> how can i change the system's main font?
[22:39] <Ayabara> LHX2: ok. there's no ./configure, so I tried the ./hgcompile. that's the one giving the error

[22:48] <Huffalump> During the installation, if I drop to a shell, how can I mount the floppy drive?   It doesn't seem to find fd0 or fd1 or fda
[22:48] <bzaks> because you need to follow all the steps including using a system user when creating a smba account
[22:48] <josspyker> Zhaliaakis: yes,use firestarter for example
[22:50] <Zhaliaakis> josspyker: how about without software?
[22:50] <AlbinoClock> I'm trying to share the speakers on my XP machine with my Ubuntu system over my network. I got PulseAudio for Ubuntu and Windows, but the version for Windows doesn't work. Are there any alternatives?

[22:55] <Zhaliaakis> ok then ;)~
[22:55] <shr00mie> wow. this was quite possibly the easiest linux install ever.
[22:55] <MasterShrek> Zhaliaakis, yea you need to use ics i believe, my buddy used to do it

[22:56] <Zhaliaakis> MasterShrek: i know that, but im not sure whats ips, gateways, dns should go on each network card;)
[22:56] <MasterShrek> Zhaliaakis, cant u just use dhcp?

[22:57] <TheCellist42> How can I get an ethernet connection or wireless connection working on Ubuntu Studio?
[22:57] <Zhaliaakis> MasterShrek: yes i could if i could connect straight to router:) but its no possible ;)
[22:57] <shr00mie> oh i'm sure i haven't
[22:57] <shr00mie> :p
[22:58] <shr00mie> right now my next task is to edit grub so i can prioritize my XP Pro, Vista Business, and Ubuntu OSs properly...
[22:58] <bzaks> hmmmm.
[22:58] <bzaks> I would say I'd rather burn in heck than edit grub...
[22:58] <richard> help, trying to mount a flopply from the shell during install. How?
[22:58] <bzaks> seriously, what a pain in the but
[22:58] <bzaks> sudo mount /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
[22:58] <bzaks> make sure the directory exists
[22:58] <eax> bzaks: Thanks a lot for your help :) It's working now :)
[22:59] <josspyker> Zhaliaakis: you need a static ip for the lan card
[22:59] <ejer> editing grub menu is not difficult
[22:59] <bzaks> no prob eax: have a great day
[22:59] <MasterShrek> bzaks, are you serious, grub is pretty easy to edit really, if you spend a little time learning how it works
[22:59] <eax> bzaks: Thanks :) You too :)
[22:59] <mad_max02> I have a default 2.6.22 kernel and I was wondering are there any good reasons for me to get new 2.6.24 one ?
[22:59] <AtomicSpark> hmm. apparently insatlling xserver-xgl kills direct rendering.
[22:59] <bzaks> I haven't touched grub since red hat 6..... I'm afeared. Sorry guys :(
[22:59] <shr00mie> yeah. i've edited grub before. it's not that bad. i just need to make sure of a couple thing.
[22:59] <mad_max02> besides compiling it to my system
[22:59] <lordleemo> evilbug: system administration login window local  for more themes  sudo apt-get install gdm-themes
[23:00] <shr00mie> from what i understand, vista replaces boot.ini with BRE or something to that effect, so i can't boot into my other OSs at will, i have to go through Vista's POS boot manager to get into XP...
[23:00] <evilbug> thanks lordleemo
[23:00] <ejer> shr00mie: i would think grub could handle this
[23:00] <shr00mie> what would be really nice is if i could bypass that with grub and simply allow grub to manage them all for me and allow me to boot into each one individually...
[23:00] <bzaks> you could just get rid of vista and make the world a happier place.
[23:00] <MasterShrek> shr00mie follow the guide to get grub back after installing windoes
[23:00] <Zhaliaakis> right...;)
[23:00] <bzaks> lol, just kidding
[23:00] <MasterShrek> !grub | shr00mie
[23:00] <ubotu> shr00mie: 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
[23:01] <shr00mie> grub is fine
[23:01] <shr00mie> i installed ubuntu after XP and Vista
[23:01] <shr00mie> so right now grub is on top as it were...
[23:01] <josspyker> shr00mie: that is the problem
[23:01] <andy> hey can anyone help me with my ubuntu drivers?
[23:01] <andy> i cant get it working at all

[23:01] <bzaks> andy: which drivers? there are literally thousands
[23:02] <andy> well
[23:02] <andy> like
[23:02] <andy> i have nothing working basiclly
[23:02] <bzaks> except internet
[23:02] <andy> no
[23:02] <bzaks> and a monitor
[23:02] <MasterShrek> shr00mie, well then u shouldnt have any problems really, just add entries for vista and xp if they arent already there
[23:02] <andy> i dont have internet
[23:02] <bzaks> ooh
[23:02] <andy> i just have audio working
[23:02] <ejer> shr00mie: i think grub will be able to boot both
[23:02] <bzaks> are you using a laptop andy?
[23:02] <andy> yes
[23:02] <josspyker> shr00mie: xp,vista and then ubuntu
[23:02] <andy> i need help with my graphics drivers
[23:02] <Squawk> Guys, do I need to do anything other than "cdrecord /dev/cdrom file.iso" to burn an ubuntu livecd. Tried it and currently have 2 coasters to show for it
[23:02] <andy> and my wireless drivers
[23:02] <MasterShrek> andy, ati, nvidia or intel?
[23:03] <andy> nvida
[23:03] <josspyker> shr00mie: ubuntu does the rest
[23:03] <richard> bzaks created the media/floppy  but it wont mount fd or fd1, what next pls
[23:03] <frost0> could someone help me install hamachi?
[23:03] <MasterShrek> andy, sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new
[23:03] <andy> huh?
[23:03] <bzaks> well richard, I actually ran into this problem last night, is your floppy enabled in the bios?
[23:03] <ForzaPalermo> ejer, look at this http://ubuntuswitch.wordpress.com/2007/07/01/securely-remote-control-your-ubuntu-via-putty-from-a-windows-host-vncssh/
[23:03] <MasterShrek> andy, type that in a terminal
[23:03] <soulburner> andy type that in your terminal
[23:03] <shr00mie> josspyker: grub shows me everything. it's working totally fine. it's got Ubuntu, safemode, memtest, Vista Boot Loader (which also allows me to choose between vista/xp)
[23:03] <ForzaPalermo> is that just like what you told me?
[23:03] <Technoid_India> Squawk: k3b
[23:03] <andy> i have no wireless though
[23:03] <MasterShrek> frost0, from source?
[23:03] <andy> it doesnt make a diffrence?
[23:03] <bzaks> andy: do you have a hardwire connection for your laptop?
[23:03] <josspyker> shr00mie: ok good news
[23:03] <MasterShrek> andy, are you online through a wired connection?
[23:04] <andy> wired?
[23:04] <andy> no
[23:04] <Squawk> Technoid_India, isnt that just a frontend for cdrecord?
[23:04] <frost0> MasterShrek, easiest way?
[23:04] <andy> wireless
[23:04] <andy> through a broadcom 802.11 b/g
[23:04] <ejer> ForzaPalermo: pretty much exactly what I said, no?
[23:04] <bzaks> OOOOH GOD NO!!!
[23:04] <andy> im dualbooting and right now i only get internet on vista
[23:04] <shr00mie> josspyker: just wanna edit it and reset priority :p. note really coming in here for troubleshooting. just kinda stoked i finally have a linux distro back on a comp so i can get back to learning.
[23:04] <shr00mie> :p
[23:04] <ForzaPalermo> yes only problem is i dont have ubuntu, i have kubuntu
[23:04] <cafuego> Squawk: everything is a frontend for cdrecord
[23:04] <richard> bzaks there is no bios its a Mac g3 and the floppy is working under mac OS
[23:04] <ForzaPalermo> ejer, so i dont have that one step
[23:04] <MasterShrek> frost0, if you can find a debian package of it, its probably the easiest way, otherwise installing it from source. i have no idea what hamachi is though lol
[23:04] <ForzaPalermo> and so my connection is refuesd from putty
[23:04] <frost0> MasterShrek, vpn setup
[23:04] <bzaks> okay andy. You're going to need to download the *.debs and burn them to cd
[23:04] <Technoid_India> Squawk: who said that ???
[23:04] <ejer> ForzaPalermo: that is why my info I posted is better
[23:05] <bzaks> andy: that also means you're going to have to be aware of dependencies
[23:05] <presumptious85> hello
[23:05] <Squawk> Technoid_India, I just thought/think it is
[23:05] <Habbie> hello; why is openssh-server not on the hardy server iso?

[23:06] <Squawk> Technoid_India, im a gentoo user who is trying out ubuntu to get his family involved in linux. I am experience with linux/command line
[23:06] <frost0> MasterShrek, is there anyway you can search for a .deb of hamachi?
[23:06] <MasterShrek> !register | andy
[23:06] <andy> let me try again
[23:06] <ubotu> andy: By default, only registered users can send private messages - Information about registering your nickname: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration - Type « /nick <nickname> » to select your nickname.
[23:06] <bzaks> andy: no, I can't I gotta leave soon
[23:06] <ForzaPalermo> ejer, this: ssh -L 5901:localhost:5901 -l youruser remotemachine ForzaPalermo
[23:06] <andy> oh
[23:06] <andy> ok
[23:06] <presumptious85> but the tv tuner has to work with windows as well as ubuntu
[23:06] <andy> so what about that .debs thing
[23:06] <andy> i have no idea where to start
[23:06] <cafuego> presumptious85: Lots of people with opinions on the #mythtv-users channel :-)
[23:06] <andy> i no nothing about linux
[23:06] <bzaks> richard: I'm sorry at this point, I'm not sure if I can help you, perhaps ubuntu sets up the /dev differently for macs?
[23:06] <MasterShrek> frost0, looking...
[23:06] <andy> know*
[23:07] <presumptious85> aight
[23:07] <presumptious85> thanks caf
[23:07] <bzaks> andy: http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages
[23:07] <andy> what do i do on that site?
[23:07] <bzaks> search for the nvidia-glx-new package
[23:07] <Technoid_India>  Squawk: hmm...
[23:07] <andy> ok
[23:07] <richard> bzaks thank you for your time
[23:07] <bzaks> and its dependancies. that'll do the graphics
[23:07] <andy> then burn it to a cd?
[23:07] <bzaks> yes andy
[23:07] <andy> ok
[23:07] <andy> then ill be able to get past 800x600?
[23:07] <valentinos> can anyone recommend a sidebar for gnome ?
[23:07] <bzaks> andy: as far at the broadcom goes, you might wanna worry about the graphix first...you're opening up a nasty can of worms
[23:08] <andy> haha
[23:08] <andy> ok
[23:08] <bzaks> kk
[23:08] <bzaks> bai everyone
[23:08] <nano__> what command can i use that will search for a specific string in a text file in a folder full of text files
[23:08] <ForzaPalermo> ejer, says connection refused in terminal
[23:08] <ejer> nano__: grep -i
[23:08] <ForzaPalermo> ejer, joe@D620:~$ ssh -L 5900:localhost:5900 -l joe D620
[23:08] <ForzaPalermo> ssh: connect to host D620 port 22: Connection refused
[23:08] <Squawk> nano__, you wanna search all the text files for a given string, or one in particular?
[23:09] <frost0> anyone know any good download accelerators for ubuntu?
[23:09] <ejer> grep -i mystring *.txt
[23:09] <MasterShrek> frost0, looks like youll have to compile it from source
[23:09] <MasterShrek> frost0, i dont think youll find a download accelerator
[23:09] <ejer> ForzaPalermo: sounds like ssh is not running on server
[23:09] <frost0> MasterShrek, could you help me with that?
[23:09] <nano__> Squak: yes
[23:09] <MasterShrek> frost0, yea, i can try
[23:09] <ejer> download accelerator = downthemall firefox extension
[23:09] <MasterShrek> frost0, http://files.hamachi.cc/linux/hamachi-<IP_ADDRESS>-20-lnx.tar.gz
[23:10] <nano__> Squak: for a given stringt
[23:10] <ForzaPalermo> ejer, how i get it running
[23:10] <nano__> ejer: I guess I could cat all files into grep
[23:10] <prince_jammys> nano_ do what ejer said
[23:10] <ejer> nano__ grep -i mystring *.txt
[23:10] <prince_jammys> nano__: you never need to cat into grep
[23:10] <ejer> or just grep -i mystring *
[23:10] <iositd> ejer, can't you do something like "find . -type f | grep "mystring" "?
[23:10] <MasterShrek> frost0, how familiar are you with the command line?
[23:11] <ejer> iositd: *.txt finds txt files already
[23:11] <frost0> MasterShrek, pretty good.
[23:11] <frost0> MasterShrek,
[23:11] <prince_jammys> and find is recursive
[23:11] <keir_> Hi, i was wondering how i could make my VFS connections show up in the standard gnome file chooser? ive seen it done on centos but cant figure out how to do it with ubuntu
[23:11] <ejer> iositd: you also would need to cat in your example
[23:11] <nano__> thnx guys i will try it
[23:11] <prince_jammys> and he'll be grepping jpgs too
[23:11] <nano__> find is only for file names?
[23:11] <frost0> MasterShrek, sorry....
[23:11] <ejer> yes nano_
[23:11] <iositd> ejer, it always worked for me in searching for a line in the source code
[23:11] <nano__> or can it be used to search for content as well?
[23:11] <ejer> and attributes
[23:11] <Squawk> nano__, just run "grep string *" for all files, or if you want to be strict and not get directories "for i in *; do if [ ! -d $i ]; then grep string $i; fi; done
[23:12] <Xio88> Hey...whenever I put in the ubuntu desktop cd I get to the first bootup screen, but whenever I hit enter my system beeps and It doesnt do anything. the only thing I can do is boot from first hard disk. Any help to get it working? Seems to happen on two computers....
[23:12] <iositd> prince_jammys, true, but it only searches in .txt files, find searches in every file :-)
[23:12] <agibby5> @slart: i updated my config file and rebooted, conky still started up and was above all other windows
[23:12] <nano__> Squawk: thnx
[23:12] <prince_jammys> iositd: true dat
[23:12] <andy> can someone help me, someone told me to get the nvidia-glx-new package off the deb site but i couldnt find it but i found it on the ubuntu site
[23:13] <MasterShrek> frost0, extract that file and cd to the directory it creates
[23:13] <ejer> iositd: do just find . -type f you will notice it only spits out filenames, so that is what your are grepping

[23:13] <Slart> agibby5: hmm.. very odd.. well.. here's what I'll do.. I'll pastebin my conky config file and you can try it out.. or just copy what you need.. and hopefully you'll find out what's wrong with yours

[23:16] <kelvie_> how do you find what package owns a file?
[23:16] <bsdnewb07> guys if someone heard of a company called supportguys , what would people think they do as a company
[23:16] <iositd> kelvie_, you can use apt-file search myfile

[23:16] <ubotu> bsdnewb07: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[23:16] <frost0> MasterShrek, same thing?

[23:17] <ejer> bsdnewb07: p#n%s extenders

[23:17] <agibby5> @slart: one more thing, do you have conky to startup under Preferences -> Sessions?
[23:17] <MasterShrek> frost0, unpack it, then do: sudo chmod +x ghamachi
[23:17] <meeyai> I try to followup you guy
[23:17] <MasterShrek> frost0, then sudo mv ghamachi /usr/bin
[23:17] <Slart> agibby5: nope.. I start it manually.. actually that might be the problem.. if it starts before compiz kicks in
[23:17] <qwehnce> i am trying to install ati drivers for my x86_64 on gusty, i followed the directions to the letter but fglrxinfo still says i am using the mesa drivers
[23:17] <ejer> and you should try hamachi-gui it is very nice
[23:18] <lordleemo> arbir: download the cursor theme extract it then  press alt f2 type in gksudo thunar  Drag the extracted theme to /usr/share/icons
[23:18] <agibby5> @slart: i was thinking it was a timing issue.  how would i force it to be started up later?
[23:19] <arbir> lordleemo: hold on .... let me see
[23:19] <frost0> MasterShrek, then what?
[23:19] <MasterShrek> frost0, then run: gksu ghamachi
[23:19] <arbir> lordleemo:  whats thunar ?
[23:19] <frost0> MasterShrek, the main tarball is still on my desktop
[23:19] <ejer> HAMACHI: my hacky hamachi install script, with gui : http://pastebin.ca/914526
[23:19] <catomannen> Ok if i ask a technical question here? been through the wiki and all...
[23:19] <frost0> ejer, no way
[23:20] <Slart> agibby5: I guess you could make a script with some kind of sleep function..
[23:20] <ejer> it sucks maybe, but works for me
[23:20] <prince_jammys> arbir: thunar is a file manager, like nautilus
[23:20] <ejer> frost0: don't use the install as service thingie, say no then, then install gui
[23:20] <Slart> agibby5: or a loop that checkd if compiz was running yet.. then start up conky..
[23:20] <prince_jammys> !info thunar | arbir
[23:20] <ubotu> arbir: thunar (source: thunar): File Manager for Xfce. In component main, is optional. Version 0.8.0-6ubuntu3 (gutsy), package size 208 kB, installed size 640 kB
[23:20] <lordleemo> file editor  sudo apt-get install thunar
[23:20] <patogen> thunar is ver nice.
[23:21] <frost0> MasterShrek, but wait....we already did what that script does correct?
[23:21] <arbir> i dont have thunar... i will just copy it using my CLI
[23:21] <arbir> that works best
[23:21] <MasterShrek> frost0, i dont kno what script u are talking about, but it shold already be installed
[23:21] <agibby5> @slart, would the pid be an indication of which started first?
[23:21] <ejer> frost0: ya, I am short circuiting your discussion sorry, it is just an automated way for next time maybe
[23:21] <MasterShrek> frost0, it may require one more apt-get command if it doesnt work
[23:21]  * catomannen is too damn stupid to even install ubuntu, k8neo 4 card polluting my life
[23:21] <patogen> if you prefer using terminals you can use mc arbir.
[23:21] <frost0> MasterShrek, it works...but what do i do with the first tarball...i would like it off my desktop..
[23:21] <arbir> patogen: thats  a good idea...
[23:21] <ejer> MasterShrek: i posted this hamachi install bash script http://pastebin.ca/914526
[23:22] <Slart> agibby5: I'm not sure.. it could be.. but I'm pretty sure there would be exeptions
[23:22] <MasterShrek> frost0, you can get rid of the tarballs and folders
[23:22] <arbir> when i see /usr/share/icons , i see a lot of other directories....
[23:22] <MasterShrek> ejer, just loading it up now
[23:22] <frost0> MasterShrek, even the extracted tarball.
[23:22] <arbir> should i move my extracted cursor directory
[23:22] <arbir> should i move only the cursor files
[23:22] <muchacho> whenever i power down, on reboot system hangs (says hald couldnt start cause dbus didnt start, but right before that dbus did start!)
[23:22] <muchacho> i have to manually ssh in and restart dbus
[23:22] <ejer> like i said, it is just a hack, but easy way to install hamachi-gui on a new system
[23:22] <MrObvious> !enter | arbir
[23:22] <ubotu> arbir: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[23:23] <MasterShrek> frost0, yea u shold be able to get rid of all that, we copied everything to where it needs to be

[23:37] <ejer> i like hamachi-gui, it is exactly like the windows gui frost0
[23:37] <ForzaPalermo> and yes i opened port 22 on my router
[23:37] <Predator> alright, it's installing
[23:37] <frost0> ejer, mine doesn't ?
[23:37] <icanhasadmin> woohoo
[23:37] <ejer> frost0: i think you have ghamachi
[23:37] <Jupp2> ForzaPalermo, is your port 22 open?
[23:38] <ForzaPalermo> Jupp2, yes
[23:38] <frost0> ejer, mine is just blank..
[23:38] <frost0> ejer, utterly blank.
[23:38] <ForzaPalermo> i also need to portfoward
[23:38] <nsna> i'm trying to figure out why my card isn't support 3d enviroments, can anyone help
[23:38] <skaflem> ForzaPalermo: Is the Windows PC and the Ubuntu boks on the same local network ?
[23:38] <ejer> i know frost0 you install ghamachi which is not hamachi-gui - try hamachi-gui
[23:38] <ForzaPalermo> or just open the port?
[23:38] <astro76> ForzaPalermo: are both these machines on your local network?

[23:38] <riba1> hi guys
[23:38] <frost0> ejer, how do i do that?
[23:38] <ForzaPalermo> astro76, yes buti am testing it as if it was outside using my external ip address
[23:39] <Slart> david_: hmmm.. no webmin... odd..
[23:39] <riba1> installed ktoon in xbuntu
[23:39] <Jupp2> Predator, is not installing yet you have to boot into Ubuntu and then you can install it
[23:39] <astro76> ForzaPalermo: yeah that won't work with most routers
[23:39] <skaflem> ForzaPalermo: Then you need to forward port 22 to the internal ip
[23:39] <Slart> david_: you downloaded the package from the webmin site?
[23:39] <confuse_david> hi
[23:39] <astro76> ForzaPalermo: you can't use the external IP from inside the netwrok usually
[23:39] <Predator> i did that...
[23:39] <david_> Slart: yes, should I reinstall?
[23:39] <jdrama> can anyone give me an overview (or point me to docs that explain) how linux communicates with usb (or any hardware device for that matter)? is there a way to directly access the stream of data getting passed back and forth?
[23:39] <riba1> ktoon has buttons but no icons in them
[23:39] <frost0> ejer, where do i get that?
[23:40] <astro76> ForzaPalermo: unless your router does something called 'nat reflection' or something similar
[23:40] <Jupp2> ForzaPalermo: unless you have a port-forward set up to that computer that's running the ssh server
[23:40] <ForzaPalermo> skaflem, i did portfoward to the server ip
[23:40] <ejer> remember my script frost0?
[23:40] <frost0> ejer, yes?
[23:40] <ForzaPalermo> Jupp2, yes thats what i did
[23:40] <david_> Slart: uninstall somehow and reinstall?
[23:40] <Slart> david_: how did you install it? dpkg -i blablabla.deb?
[23:40] <confuse_david> can anyone can come up with a idea why this would not work.  so i did ssh-keygen -t dsa.  I put the public key into my authorized_files.  yet it is still requesting passwords.
[23:40] <Predator> it started loading programs...i remember it loading the Hardware Abstraction Layer hald and then black, now it says failed to start the x server (graphical interface)
[23:40] <Jupp2> ForzaPalermo, can you connect with the local ip?
[23:40] <ForzaPalermo> ive been able to VNC from outside to this computer, but i never did it with SSH, cant seem to get it to work
[23:40] <david_> slart: that's right
[23:40] <ForzaPalermo> Jupp2, no, i cant do that either, unless im doing something wrong

[23:41] <confuse_david> the directions are so easy but it never works
[23:41] <skaflem> ForzaPalermo: hmm strainge. Post the ssh config in a pastebin, and give us the url
[23:41] <frost0> ejer, do i make it into a .sh?
[23:41] <ForzaPalermo> skaflem, where do i find the conifg

[23:42] <lordleemo> jdrama: http://www.linux-usb.org/
[23:42] <Slart> david_: it's been over a year since I installed it.. I wonder if it's something with the new package.. well a reinstall can't really hurt
[23:42] <honkhonk> Can someone help me set up my video drivers. I am getting a lot of graphic glitches and lag.
[23:42] <Predator> it asked if i wanted to check the X server for something...i said yes...now it giving me a whole bunch of info about the system and ubuntu...
[23:42] <Huffalump> What is the command to edit when you are inside a subshell.... inside a shell... during install?  nano doesnt work, edit doesnt work, vi is a nightmare.  Help?
[23:42] <skaflem> ForzaPalermo: Open a console on the server, and try this "ssh localhost"
[23:42] <frost0> ejer, i'm having a little trouble :)
[23:42] <macogw> frost0: the file extensions are just for the humans to understand
[23:43] <david_> Slart: ok, i'll try that. Should I d/l package from webmin.com?
[23:43] <Predator> the x server is now disabled it said
[23:43] <nano__> Huffalump: try vi
[23:43] <ForzaPalermo> skaflem, ssh: connect to host localhost port 22: Connection refused
[23:43] <Slart> david_: yea.. try that.. the debian version
[23:43] <macogw> Huffalump: vi should work since thats the unix default

[23:45] <astro76> !webmin | david_
[23:45] <ubotu> david_: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. See !ebox instead.
[23:45] <macogw> Huffalump: Esc to exit insert mode and return to command mode
[23:45] <frost0> ejer, i'm doing something wrong...
[23:45] <LHX2> test
[23:45] <Huffalump> macogw, I get Error 388: Couldn't find definition.  I just can't seem to get around in vi to edit my /etc/fstab
[23:46] <Jupp2> ForzaPalermo, try starting again like you did before with /etc/init.d/ssh start
[23:46] <frost0> ejer, obviously :)
[23:46] <Slart> david_: just click Downloads.. and then "Debian package" in the menu to the left.. it should go straight to a download
[23:46] <Slart> !ebox
[23:46] <ForzaPalermo> Jupp2, /etc/init.d/ssh start
[23:46] <LetsGo67> How come Xubuntu shows two nm-applets when I start up?  How can I permanently remove one?
[23:46] <macogw> Huffalump: i dont know what you mean.... you cant type "vi /etc/fstab"?
[23:46] <ForzaPalermo> Jupp2,  * Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell server sshd                             [ OK ]
[23:46] <Huffalump> macogw, insert allows me to edit a file?  I will try it
[23:46] <ubotu> ebox is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See the plans for Hardy at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EboxSpec
[23:46] <david_> ubotu: ok, I'll check !ebox. Should i just google it?
[23:46] <macogw> Huffalump: insert is how you start the typing bit...it's in command mode by default
[23:46] <ForzaPalermo> Jupp2, ssh still doesnt show up
[23:46] <AntiUSA> I am having a wierd problem. I have a game, Teewars, that if I browse to the directory and manually open it, it works fine. However, if I go to Edit Menu on the Application menu and add a link to it, the game comes up with  distorted graphics... why is this happening and how can I make a workin link to it?
[23:46] <Huffalump> macogw, I have the file open in vi.  I am trying to edit so it will mount the floppy
[23:46] <Huffalump> macogw thank you
[23:47] <macogw> Huffalump: hit G to jump to the last line, if that helps

[23:49] <Jupp2> ForzaPalermo, sorry don't know what's going on. The only thing I can think of is that you have a firewall running and you don't know

[23:51] <Predator> i have no idea what part of the install i am on.  i tried ctrl alt f7 and the computer is now frozen.
[23:51] <david_> Slart: should I un-install webmin before installing ebox?
[23:51] <LHX2> Predator: does control-c do anything?
[23:51] <frost0> ejer, i'm sorry...i understand your busy...but, i have no idea why this is not executing?
[23:51] <frost0> ejer, if i don't get this installed its not life or death.

[23:53] <LHX2> icanhasadmin: alsa is great :_) (when it's working) :-)
[23:53] <david_> what is the command to un-install webmin from my system? Or can I use synaptic package manager?
[23:53] <noelferreira> i'm always loosing my wireless connection using roaming mode. any help?

[23:54] <AntiUSA> come on, someone please help me... how do I take an executable and make it installed/registered with Ubuntu so that the command can be run from the terminal
[23:54] <icanhasadmin> shoot ed
[23:54] <noelferreira> are you sure it is that macogw ?
[23:54] <edd24> For some reason I can't click on anything on my desktop
[23:54] <skaflem> ForzaPalermo: Looks like standard setup - except the port
[23:55] <danbhfive> AntiUSA: maybe you are looking for: chmod +x the_file
[23:55] <Jupp2> AntiUSA, nice nick
[23:55] <icanhasadmin> LHX2: please? :P
[23:55] <Technoid_India> AntiUSA: what kind on execuatable ??? ubuntu executable .deb file ??
[23:55] <edd24> I cant'y open home folder, recycling bin or any other folder as a matter of fact.
[23:55] <LHX2> icanhasadmin: if I can sure, unfortunantely mine worked just fine out of the box... do you have multiple soundcards in your computer?
[23:55] <ForzaPalermo> skaflem, read my IM, i dont want to get banned for flooding
[23:55] <icanhasadmin> no
[23:56] <YBH_1> edd24, R U doubleclicking?
[23:56] <LHX2> icanhasadmin: do you have a soundcard Plus motherboard soundcard?
[23:56] <skaflem> ForzaPalermo: ssh is running :)
[23:56] <lucas__> i want women in málaga
[23:56] <icanhasadmin> No, laptop, built in sound
[23:56] <icanhasadmin> ATI HDA SB450 ALC861
[23:56] <mak__> hi edd24:   press ctrl alt and back space....by doing this you will restart your xserver...do that
[23:56] <mak__> and it will work
[23:56] <LHX2> icanhasadmin: do you know your laptops hardward sound card and what alsa driver it uses? heheh there we go
[23:56] <icanhasadmin> Yes indeed.
[23:56] <edd24> Yes, I have tried nearly everything along those lines
[23:56] <ForzaPalermo> skaflem, do i want a passphrase?
[23:57] <Jupp2> lucas__, wrong channel
[23:57] <LHX2> icanhasadmin: are you installing binary? is alsa installed and just won't work?
[23:57] <icanhasadmin> I've gotten to the point where i decompiled my DSDT to see if maybe the problem was there.
[23:57] <skaflem> ForzaPalermo: Yes, you do :)
[23:57] <Technoid_India>  icanhasadmin: which laptop...
[23:57] <icanhasadmin> Alsa installed fine, it even recognizes, just no sound
[23:57] <lucas__> ok
[23:57] <ForzaPalermo> this is what i use from putty?
[23:57] <edd24> I tried ctrl alt backspace, no different when I log Back in.
[23:57] <icanhasadmin> Technoid_India: you can probably guess the laptop, Toshiba a105 series
[23:57] <cathya> hi
[23:57] <LHX2> icanhasadmin: have you used alsaconf to make sure the mixer levels aren't 0?
[23:57] <cathya> anyone installed ubuntu on a mac
[23:57] <Technoid_India>  icanhasadmin: k...
[23:57] <cathya> does ubuntu have ppc support?
[23:58] <PriceChild> !ppc | cathya
[23:58] <ubotu> cathya: PowerPC.  Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ
[23:58] <icanhasadmin> LHX2: thank you for suggestions like that, it's probabaly something stupid i missed, i'll check now
[23:58] <YBH_1> no cathya
[23:58] <mak__> then you might have to edit u r xorg.conf file /etc/X11 folder...
[23:58] <theo_> I ought to probably be focusing on getting one thing working at a time - but I'm having trouble with the following three things: 1. I'm running 2x 6600GT in SLI, and 7.10 doesn't seem to like the second adaptor much, changing its driver to the generic nvidia driver. 2. OpenGL seems to be buggered either as a result, or in general, and I've checked all the modules I can think of... 3. I can't get my wired 360 controller to work :<
[23:58] <cathya> ok so it should work on my mac?
[23:58] <edd24> When I'm starting up, at the boot medu when it is loadin, it takes about 5 minutes for the NFS daemon to load, I'm not quite sure if thta means anything.
[23:58] <LHX2> icanhasadmin: I know this isn't Ubuntu related, but checking out www.archlinux.org 's wiki on alsa is great for manual configuration informaiton
[23:58] <ForzaPalermo> skaflem, i still get connection refused
[23:59] <mak__> and you may have to add manually some of the setting in xorg.conf file, do google for xorg description, you will get some idea how to do that..
[23:59] <icanhasadmin> I will, I think I have, and I will continue to. If I recompile one more cust version of alsa only not to work, i will pull my hair out
[23:59] <Jupp2> ForzaPalermo, did you accept the key?
[23:59] <edd24> About a week ago I tried to make a static ip address, for some reason it didn't work, it seems like every since then its been happening.
[23:59] <nsna> I'm having a glx issue of when i open glxgears instead of having gears up there, the gears are scattered accross that level of screen
[23:59] <ForzaPalermo> Jupp2, i think i messed up there
[23:59] <skaflem> ForzaPalermo: connection refused when you try putty ? Remeber to change the port from 22 to 5900 in putty before connecting
[23:59] <ForzaPalermo> yes putty
[23:59] <LHX2> icanhasadmin: have you read somewhere the your hardware needs a custom compile?
