[07:35] <pitaman> yes. my bios is set to boot up from a cd and I didn't create a data cd...I created a cd from an image.
[07:35] <SillyZ> q: in xubuntu whats the best way to access a smb windows share?, ubuntu and kubuntu has this feature automagically built in
[07:35] <ttyfscker> KrakensDen:: if you want that high level pretty why arent you using windows + window blinds
[07:36] <KrakensDen> ttyfscker, have you seen that?
[07:36] <KrakensDen> ttyfscker, it looks disgusting
[07:36] <ttyfscker> i have some screenshots of xfce on xubuntu
[07:36] <KrakensDen> ttyfscker, I'd rather use fvwm
[07:36] <ttyfscker> if your interested
[07:36] <silvaran> pitaman: Right... so you leave the CD in your disc drive during bootup, and you get an error message?  What exactly does the message say?
[07:36] <ttyfscker> haha
[07:36] <pitaman> How long do i have to leave it in there?
[07:36] <KrakensDen> so I understand you
[07:37] <KrakensDen> but there is a place for both
[07:37] <ttyfscker> lets exchange screenies
[07:37] <pitaman> I've left it for around 5 to 8 minutes and nothing
[07:37] <_azrael> Tonren: Try this instead: ffmpeg -i input.ext -f mp3 output.mp3
[07:37] <Madpilot> KrakensDen & ttyfscker - please take the chat to #ubuntu-offtopic or PM, please
[07:37] <KrakensDen> Madpilot, sorry
[07:37] <ese5> has anyone with ipw3945 built their own custom kernel?
[07:37] <Tonren> _azrael: Unsupported codec (id=86018) for input stream #0.0
[07:37] <pluma> How would I go about adding a java symlink alternative via update-alternatives manually? sudo update-alternatives --install java-sun java /usr/java/jdk-1.5.0_08/jre/bin/java 1?
[07:37] <verbose> ese5: i have with an ipw2200
[07:37] <KrakensDen> ese5, it doesn't work fine?
[07:38] <ttyfscker> Madpilot:: :(  your running us off when its so silent?  ok
[07:38] <verbose> they use the same driver i believe
[07:38] <pluma> I can't really get much out of its manpage...
[07:38] <ese5> krakensden:  it crashes when compiling
[07:38] <Madpilot> ttyfscker, it's not that quiet...
[07:38] <ttyfscker> #  linuxsociety  KrakensDen
[07:38] <nikosapi> thanks a lot, bye!
[07:38] <pitaman> :(
[07:38] <ese5> krakensden:  undefined references to ieee80211 stuff
[07:38] <illusina> So I have a really strange bug. My "x" key no longer works. I was messing with the keyboard shortcuts and I think accidentally assigned "x" to a shortcut. I then saved it, and moved out
[07:38] <illusina> Then typing later, I realized "x" doesn't work
[07:38] <_azrael> Tonren: OK, something's seriously missing from your ffmpeg
[07:38] <KrakensDen> ese5, check their website
[07:39] <_azrael> Tonren: Try reinstalling libffmpeg?
[07:39] <ese5> krakensden: whose?
[07:39] <Tonren> _azrael: Weird.  Can you dump a list of packages on me that I can download?
[07:39] <illusina> So I set the config within the global keyboard settings"
[07:39] <KrakensDen> ese5, I think you may have to download intel's wlan stack
[07:39] <KrakensDen> ese5, the ipw3945 guys
[07:39] <illusina> But it's still broken :|
[07:39] <ese5> :-/
[07:39] <CyDrive> Can someone help me my sound no longer works for some reason i didnt install anything new either can someone please help me
[07:39] <_azrael> Tonren: I just converted to ogg and back to mp3 with the type of command I gave you.
[07:39] <Tonren> _azrael: That package doesn't exist in my repos?
[07:39] <_azrael> Tonren: Hrm. Maybe it's working because I have svn mplayer, 1sec
[07:39] <hush> hey guys in my Software Preferences > Installation Media > Channels , there are channels in there that say Ubuntu 5.10 (binary) and (source), etc.. should I delete those and just keep the ones that say Ubuntu 6.06 LTS ?
[07:39] <ese5> krakensden: but why would ubuntu patch a broken kernel?
[07:40] <jcan_ras> CyDrive : check if your mixer is muted
[07:40] <_azrael> Tonren: can you pm me or pastebin me the output of :ffmpeg -formats
[07:40] <CyDrive> yes i checked i and its not muted
[07:40] <farous> CyDrive: aplay /usr/share/sounds/gaim/send.wav
[07:40] <pitaman> Has anyone had the same problem that I have had trying to boot the desktop cd?
[07:40] <verbose> ese5: http://ipw2200.sf.net has latest ieee80211 stack, driver and firmware
[07:40] <farous> CyDrive: and close anything that might be using the sound device
[07:41] <verbose> ese5: i'm using those with 2.6.17
[07:41] <Madpilot> hush, why do you have old sources? Is this a clean install of 6.06?
[07:41] <hush> yes lol
[07:41] <hush> from the Live CD
[07:41] <hush> I wondered the same thing
[07:41] <pitaman> yes
[07:41] <CyDrive> nothing did not work
[07:41] <ese5> verbose: but where would I put it as far as compiling the kernel
[07:41] <farous> CyDrive: lsof /dev/dsp
[07:41] <Madpilot> hush, have you run any 'helper' scripts that might have screwed with your sources?
[07:41] <ese5> verbose: i have a tar of the ieee80211 1.1.14
[07:42] <Tonren> _azrael: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21170
[07:42] <CyDrive> i ran the command but what should it do exactly?
[07:42] <verbose> ese5: in the README's it says to not compile the in-tree ieee80211 or intel driver
[07:42] <hush> Madpilot: there are a lot of them too.. several different 5.10 binary, source, updates, backports, etc..and the 1 ubuntu 6.06 at the very bottom
[07:42] <farous> CyDrive: will tell you what is using the oss sound dev
[07:42] <Ghost_Printer> !automatix
[07:42] <ubotu> Automatix is a script that automates installation of some items. Use at your own risk. For help with and discussion of automatix please join #automatix.
[07:42] <Tonren> _azrael: Gotta run.  if you figure it out, can you e-mail me<EMAIL_ADDRESS>[07:43] <Tonren> _azrael: Thanks for your help dude
[07:43] <hush> madpilot: not that I know of.. no helper scripts
[07:43] <verbose> ese5: all the information should be in the README of the driver source
[07:43] <CyDrive> ummm it gave me nothing
[07:43] <Madpilot> hush, you didn't run automatix or something awful like that?
[07:43] <farous> CyDrive: lsof /dev/snd/
[07:43] <farous> CyDrive: and that is for the alsa sound dev
[07:43] <hush> madpilot: nope
[07:43] <farous> sound sys
[07:43] <hush> whats that
[07:43] <ese5> verbose: yeah but I already tried compiling <IP_ADDRESS> without the ipw3945 and then installing it afterwards
[07:43] <ese5> verbose: and the wep/wpa wouldn't work
[07:43] <pitaman> Sorry for intterupting, but iis there anyone that can help me or point me in the right direction regarding not being able to boot up from the desktop/live cd?
[07:43] <tyler_d> slow bittorrent downloads.... nat = ok program = azureus, torrent = good, changed the port, looking for other input?
[07:43] <CyDrive> It still gave me nothing
[07:43] <ese5> verbose: i screwed with it for 2 days
[07:43] <silvaran> Madpilot: "awful"'s a good way to put it.
[07:43] <ese5> verbose: and i've given up
[07:43] <hush> Madpilot: I've only had it for a few days
[07:44] <farous> CyDrive: is it a laptop
[07:44] <CyDrive> yes it is a laptop
[07:44] <Madpilot> hush, very strange. Do the following for me: open Applications->Accessories->Terminal, type "gksudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" w/o the ""
[07:44] <hush> can I delete them and just leave the Ubuntu 6.06 LTS one?
[07:44] <hush> okay
[07:44] <farous> CyDrive: does it have a bottom to mute the sound for it work indep of the main sound control
[07:44] <Madpilot> hush, we're going to fix your sources.list
[07:45] <silvaran> !pastebin
[07:45] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[07:45] <verbose> tyler_d: how many seeds and peers are there?
[07:45] <hush> ok did it
[07:45] <CyDrive> No i dont have a mute button just 2 buttons to control volume wich i tend to use but its the same as going into the mixer and changing the master
[07:45] <hush> got a sources.list window open now
[07:45] <Madpilot> hush, once gedit opens, copy everything out of it into http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org and paste ONLY THE URL of your pastebin here
[07:46] <pitaman> no. Its a AMD Athlon xp 3000 nforce2 cchipset, dvd drive/burner on 1 ide channel, hd on the 2nd channel + pci promise controller wih second hd
[07:46] <farous> CyDrive: try to use them sometimes they work indep they do that here
[07:46] <pitaman> I've neveer used linux...so I'm not very linux savy
[07:46] <CyDrive> That actually worked thank you very much for your help i appreciate it alot thank you
[07:46] <hush> ok so paste the source.list file text into that website and then give you the link to it ?
[07:47] <farous> CyDrive: the last thing i can think of is either you are using esd sound sys. or that you do not have the sound modules loaded
[07:47] <farous> CyDrive: cool
[07:47] <silvaran> Argh... when's GNOME going to get rid of the ESD dependency?
[07:47] <Madpilot> hush, yes, that pastebin website will give you a unique URL, with a long number at the ned
[07:47] <Madpilot> s/ned/end
[07:48] <silvaran> Flanders!
[07:49] <tyler_d> verbose: on which torrent?
[07:49] <tyler_d> verbose: over 400 on all of them
[07:49] <verbose> tyler_d: the one that's going slowly...
[07:49] <tyler_d> verbose: they all are
[07:49] <hush> madpilot: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21171
[07:49] <pitaman> ok...I can get the live cd to boot and no one is trying to help me. As far as first impressions of trying to learn linux...this isn't going very well.
[07:50] <tyler_d> verbose: just says that its not connecting to peers?
[07:50] <tyler_d> pitaman: can you install windows?
[07:50] <silvaran> pitaman: People are trying... just without success..... :(
[07:50] <verbose> tyler_d: i'd try using something other than azureus, but i'm prejudiced against that program
[07:50] <Madpilot> hush, are you *sure* you're running 6.06? That's a pure 5.04 (Breezy) sources.list
[07:50] <hush> pitaman: If I can do it you can do it!
[07:50] <hush> um...?
[07:50] <hush> i think?
[07:50] <tyler_d> verbose: same results with bittorrent
[07:51] <hush> i'm pretty sure i am.. is there another way to find out
[07:51] <jcan_ras> pitaman: is it the dapper 6.06
[07:51] <tyler_d> verbose: any other program you would like me to try out?
[07:51] <pitaman> how did you do it, hush?
[07:51] <Madpilot> hush, in that terminal, do "lsb_release -a"
[07:51] <pitaman> jcan: yes
[07:51] <hush> I downloaded the Ubuntu ISO from the internet and played around on the Live CD before clicking on Install
[07:52] <jcan_ras> pitaman: u said i loaded up the live installation?
[07:52] <johnnyg> good evening. I purchased a linksys wireless G card. When I boot, neither ifconfig nor System->Networking show it. However, when I run $>sudo modprobe ndiswrapper  Password:<root pass> my system does see it. I messed around with getting my centrino wireless going and failed previously. Should I have to involve ndiswrapper to get my linksys wlan0 going? If so, how do I set it so I dont have to issue the command each time I boot?
[07:52] <jcan_ras> *it
[07:52] <pitaman> That is what I'm trying to do. I did that, but the darn cd doesn't want to boot past loading root
[07:52] <tyler_d> verbose: what program do you recommend? I would love to try it.... not overly impressed with Azureus thus far
[07:53] <verbose> tyler_d: i use bit tornado
[07:53] <_azrael> tyler_d: If you can deal with ncurses interface, rtorrent
[07:53] <hush> madpilot: adam@adam-desktop:~$ lsb_release -a

[07:53] <jcan_ras> pitaman: is this the 1st ubuntucd u r running on that pc
[07:53] <Madpilot> hush, ouch, that should have been pastebinned too
[07:53] <pitaman> yes
[07:53] <_azrael> !paste > hush
[07:54] <hush> Sorry about that :(
[07:54] <tyler_d> verbose: installing
[07:54] <tyler_d> verbose: gimme 2 seconds
[07:54] <Madpilot> hush, but in any case, your sources.list is pure Breezy, but lsb_release says Dapper... I've no idea what's up there...
[07:54] <hush> madpilot: do i need to reinstall Linux ?
[07:54] <Madpilot> hush, you utterly sure you didn't run automatix or anything like that? Use some tutorial that said "Use these sources"?
[07:54] <hush> what is Breezy?
[07:54] <Madpilot> hush, no, it should be fixable
[07:55] <hush> Nope.. didn't do anything
[07:55] <Madpilot> hush, Breezy is the previous release of Ubuntu - Ubuntu 5.04 Breezy Badger
[07:55] <jcan_ras> pitaman: try running it in text mode, i think u press esc at bootup
[07:55] <tyler_d> verbose: how do I load things into that?
[07:55] <hush> after I installed i ran all the updates it told me to do and thats all
[07:55] <pitaman> then what?
[07:56] <hush> I guess it is possible I could have installed something from a repo or from the auto updates that I shouldn't have?
[07:56] <pitaman> Are test menus? or do I have to put in a command or something?
[07:56] <Schalken> is there somewhere where i can see a list of new features in Gaim 2.0?
[07:56] <silvaran> Folks I'm outta here.  Good to see the Ubuntu scene is alive and well.  Night folks :).
[07:56] <jcan_ras> pitaman: maybe itll load it then otherwise maybe somn is wrong with the cd
[07:57] <verbose> tyler_d: i save my torrents to ~ and open bit tornado from applications -> internet -> bit tornado client then browse to the .torrent file
[07:57] <hush> madpilot: what do you suggest I do - Is there an easy way out of this mess?
[07:58] <pitaman> ok. let me try again and see.
[07:58] <pitaman> Thanks for at least trying. I was really excited to try Linux for a non Linux guy like me. Hopefully it will work. Maybe it is just something with this 6.06 release
[07:58] <Madpilot> hush, http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/17674 <-- known-good Dapper sources.list. Paste this into your sources.list, save & close it.

[08:08] <ese5> i can't get the ubuntu kernel to compile at all
[08:08] <hush> i believe so
[08:09] <hush> those are the 3 it listed
[08:09] <hush> so i marked them
[08:09] <SillyZ> how does one decide between, gnome, kde or xfce, Ive had em all isntall and each has its own unique features....
[08:09] <_azrael> ese5: Why do you feel the need to compile one? There are binaries available...
[08:09] <ese5> first it crapped out when it got to my ipw3945 driver ... so i removed it ...  not it's undefined reference to acpi_in_suspend :-/
[08:09] <Madpilot> hush, generally, you can let the upgrade manager do it's thing

[08:10] <Madpilot> SillyZ, flip a coin
[08:10] <ese5> _azrael: because i need one with smp for core duo

[08:10] <SillyZ> Madpilot ehehe
[08:10] <PyroManiak> Anyone know how to fix the "jumpy mouse" reaction?
[08:10] <ese5> _azreael: with the stock kernel?
[08:11] <ese5> _azrael: or did you install some other prebuilt image
[08:11] <_azrael> ese5: I'm using stock kernel, and while I haven't explicitly checked for smp, I'm getting the performance I'd expect.
[08:11] <ese5> _azrael: do cat /proc/cpuinfo
[08:11] <ese5> _azrael: do you see two processors (0 and 1)
[08:12] <tyler_d> hush: keeps saying stalled?
[08:12] <_azrael> ese5: Nope. So I guess no smp support on.
[08:12] <hush> stalled?
[08:12] <ese5> _azrael: yeah.. see
[08:12] <ese5> _azreael:  so you're only using one core right now
[08:12] <joemauch> how do i give my user permission to access root-mounted filesystems?
[08:12] <tyler_d> hush: under status...

[08:14] <_azrael> ese5: not tried it yet, but what about linux-686-smp kernel?
[08:14] <Linuturk> hush, I really like Transmission
[08:14] <alexcamilo> i have installed nvidia drivers and my card is supported.
[08:14] <Linuturk> hush, search the forums for install instructions
[08:15] <hush> transmission - torrent?
[08:15] <Linuturk> hush, yes, and it works great
[08:15] <hush> awesome thanks man!
[08:15] <alexcamilo> and i'm using dapper 6.06 freshly installed and upgraded
[08:15] <hush> Is there any way I can get my torrents and files off of WinXP so that I can continue torrenting on Linux? or am I screwed?
[08:16] <Linuturk> yes, you can
[08:16] <Linuturk> hush, get the torrent files and the data that has already been downloaded
[08:16] <flubs> Does anyone know of a way to reset all the system files but leave all my data in tact?
[08:16] <Linuturk> hush, put the data in a directory in your /home
[08:16] <hush> linuturk: I'm new, don't know how to get the files :(
[08:16] <hush> 3 days new :)
[08:17] <Linuturk> hush, put your torrent files in a directory inside a subdirectory of your torrent data
[08:17] <Linuturk> hush, after you install transmission, point it to your torrent-data directory
[08:17] <hush> my torrents are in winXP tho not linux
[08:18] <Linuturk> hush, open your torrent files with Transmission, it should check the existing data, and continue the downloads
[08:18] <Linuturk> hush, first, copy over my instructions
[08:18] <tyler_d> Linuturk: how do I update my lists, after editing my sources file
[08:18] <Linuturk> hush, next, search the ubuntu forums for Transmission for install instructions and install it
[08:19] <Linuturk> hush, do that, and we'll talk about your torrent data and files. Are you Dual-Booting
[08:19] <Linuturk> ?
[08:19] <hush> how do I grab my files off of my winxp HDD and place them into my Linux HDD :( ?
[08:19] <Linuturk> tyler_d, sudo apt-get update
[08:20] <Linuturk> hush, are you dual booting? is it on a seperate machine?
[08:20] <hush> dual booting
[08:20] <Linuturk> hush, do you see your window's drive under Places > Computer
[08:20] <Linuturk> ?
[08:20] <Jahooty> are the setup tools the same in ubuntu as they are in xubuntu?
[08:21] <flubs> What is the command to install something and all necessary dependancies?
[08:21] <tyler_d> Linuturk: ty...
[08:21] <_azrael> flubs: sudo apt-get install packagename
[08:21] <Linuturk> hush, did you install Ubuntu or Kubuntu?
[08:22] <Linuturk> tyler_d, np
[08:22] <hush> ubuntu
[08:22] <flubs> _asrael: I have been trying that for Samba and SSH but it tells me it's not going to continue because the packages have unmet dependencies
[08:22] <Linuturk> hush, do you see your windows file system?
[08:22] <_azrael> flubs: Can you dump the output to a pastebin?
[08:22] <ChakRa> Linuturk sorry to interrupt but is tranmission the software where u put all the torrents in a torrent folder and it auto download em?
[08:22] <hush> I believe so, would I see my Linux HDD too or just winxp HDD
[08:23] <flubs> _azrael: is it just pastebin.com?  I have never used it before
[08:23] <clever> how would i see which package owns a certain file?
[08:23] <Jahooty> yeah, pastebin.com
[08:23] <tyler_d> Linuturk: installed it.. sorry following along here.... doesn't want to open?
[08:23] <_azrael> !paste > flubs
[08:23] <Linuturk> ChakRa, That's what I do, yes. It doesn't autodownload them, but it will restart the downloads after you have to restart. That's why I'm using it. That and azureus sucks on ubuntu (bloated)
[08:23] <flubs> haha
[08:24] <Linuturk> tyler_d, what do you mean doesn't open?
[08:24] <clever> Linuturk: yep azureus is bloated
[08:24] <ChakRa> i know a guy who had a setup once where he used to put all the torrents in a folder and the software will download it auto.
[08:24] <ChakRa> ah ic Linuturk
[08:24] <hush> linuturk: i see floppy drive - cdrw drive - 74.5GB Volume - HP Printer - Filesystem
[08:24] <tyler_d> Linuturk: click... doesn't run
[08:24] <rayna> hi, can someone please tell me how to enable VNC/remote desktop on a ubuntu machine without having access to gnome? I have ssh access only, and i need to enable VNC so that I can connect
[08:24] <_azrael> rayna: x11vnc
[08:24] <Jahooty> i'm having a hard time getting my wireless to work in xubuntu.  it seems to have drivers and recognize the device but i can't make the device connect to my network
[08:24] <_azrael> rayna: If you don't have it, it's in the apt tree, just install it.
[08:24] <rayna> _azrael, what do i do with that?
[08:24] <_azrael> rayna: sudo apt-get install x11vnc
[08:25] <ChakRa> yeah i am using utorrent on dapper which is nice but that auto feature will be l337zors ~__~
[08:25] <rayna> _azrael, thanks
[08:25] <_azrael> rayna: then run it from command line, it'll set up a vnc server.
[08:25] <clever> _azrael: do you know how to search apt to see which pakage owns a certain file?
[08:25] <_azrael> rayna: man x11vnc for info on passwords, etc.
[08:25] <rayna> _azrael, cheers
[08:25] <Linuturk> tyler_d, http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=220149&highlight=Transmission << is that the instructions you followed?
[08:25] <_azrael> clever: No. But if you tell me the file, i can take a guess.
[08:25] <rayna> _azrael, what about the default one that comes with ubuntu? when you go into gnome you can just tick a box that says enable vnc
[08:25] <clever> the file is hamachi.ko
[08:25] <rayna> _azrael, is there a way to enable that via command line?
[08:25] <clever> i have 3 copys
[08:25] <tyler_d> Linuturk: yes it is
[08:26] <clever> /lib/modules/2.6.12-9-386/kernel/drivers/net/hamachi.ko
[08:26] <clever> /lib/modules/2.6.12-10-386/kernel/drivers/net/hamachi.ko
[08:26] <clever> /lib/modules/2.6.15-26-386/kernel/drivers/net/hamachi.ko
[08:26] <Linuturk> tyler_d, did you use the deb?
[08:26] <Linuturk> !paste > clever
[08:26] <clever> just wondering if its part of a certain pakage
[08:26] <clever> if it was more then 3 lines i would have used a pastebin
[08:26] <hush> Linuturk: i see floppy drive - cdrw drive - 74.5GB Volume - HP Printer - Filesystem
[08:26] <Linuturk> hush, one second
[08:26] <clever> as ubotu told me its for LARGE pastes:P
[08:26] <tyler_d> Linuturk: yes
[08:26] <hush> Linuturk: k
[08:26] <_azrael> rayna: I do not know. I use x11vnc from when I used gentoo :)
[08:27] <rayna> _azrael, ok thanks
[08:27] <Linuturk> hush, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions
[08:27] <rayna> anyone else know how to enable the default VNC server via ssh?
[08:28] <Linuturk> tyler_d, got me. the deb worked out of the box for me . . . post in the thread and see if the author of the thread can help you
[08:28] <Ropechoborra> !paste
[08:28] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[08:28] <tyler_d> Linuturk: I'm going to try loggin back in... we will see
[08:28] <Ross> hello fellow ubuntu users...
[08:29] <_azrael> clever: hamachi.ko is a kernel module
[08:29] <waxhead> hi everyone
[08:29] <carthik> rayna, that one is vino - read man vino
[08:29] <_azrael> It is probably owned by linux-restricted-modules-kernelversion
[08:29] <waxhead> what are people using for mp3 encoding?
[08:29] <hush> Madpilot: Thank you for your help bro - I really do appreciate it! You were very helpful!
[08:29] <flubs> _azrael: Ok, got the screen dump posted on the pastebin
[08:29] <waxhead> sound juicer is producing huge files...
[08:29] <clever> ahhh
[08:29] <ardchoille> Will I get a better display by commenting out dri or glx in xorg.conf?
[08:29] <Madpilot> hush, no problem. I've still got no idea how your sources got that messed up...
[08:29] <clever> any idea how i would use that kernel module _azrael
[08:29] <carthik> waxhead, you can use soundjuicer - check and change the prefs
[08:29] <Ross> I'm somewhat new to linux, and I'm trying to install GCC...can someone point me to a website to do this, or any advice?
[08:30] <Madpilot> waxhead, got it producing .flac for you?
[08:30] <_azrael> clever: sudo modprobe hamachi
[08:30] <rayna> carthik, No manual entry for vino
[08:30] <Madpilot> Ross, install build-essential
[08:30] <clever> and be able to control it
[08:30] <flubs> _azrael: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21176
[08:30] <clever> its a vpn client program
[08:30] <waxhead> carthik, I have... from settings on the net, and I still get 43meg mp3
[08:30] <Ross> where is build-essential?
[08:30] <waxhead> Madpilot, yeah, ogg, flac etc... but the phone plays mp3...
[08:31] <flaino> alguem ae?
[08:31] <flaino> :D
[08:31] <hush> Madpilot: That was pretty cool wasn't it, LOL. I don't have a clue either. Am I allowed to say "It wasn't ME" lol I've only had it for 3 days and I've barely done ANYTHING on it - too scared to mess with anything but I'm learning quickly.
[08:31] <Madpilot> Ross, install it thru Synaptic, it's on the standard Ubuntu repos
[08:31] <Ross> ahh
[08:31] <Madpilot> hush, well, it probably *was* you, actually, but I'll accept that you have no idea how you did it ;)
[08:32] <_azrael> waxhead: ffmpeg -i input.ext -f mp3 output.mp3
[08:32] <hush> Madpilot: Awesome - Thanks! :)
[08:32] <_azrael> flubs: Have you messed around with sources.list?
[08:32] <waxhead> I installed banshee, but the gstreamer libs' aren't found either...
[08:32] <carthik> rayna, turns out it is automatically started with each session. Please try x11vnc or tightvnc for a better vnc that dies not depend on a running GNOME session, and has a man page :)
[08:32] <Ross> Madpilot, thanks...
[08:32] <flubs> _azrael: I ran automatix and I think it borked something majorly
[08:32] <Madpilot> waxhead, have you enabled the various bits needed to play mp3?
[08:33] <rayna> carthik, thank u, however it is currently disabled, is there a config file i can edit to make it start with each session?
[08:33] <waxhead> Madpilot, in banshee or soundjuicer?
[08:33] <flubs> _azrael: But I went to the source-o-matic and remade a default sources.list and replaced the 'broken' one and it still gives me that error
[08:33] <Madpilot> waxhead, well, in Ubuntu generally - once done, it should work everywhere
[08:33] <carthik> rayna, don't know, can't find that out - it seems to rely on using the gui to change options. Like I said, please use something else
[08:33] <_azrael> flubs: OK, simple, we'll have that fixed quickly.
[08:33] <rayna> carthik, ok thx
[08:33] <_azrael> flubs: sudo apt-get update
[08:34] <_azrael> flubs: then try
[08:34] <pluma> How come the Thunderbird and Firefox versions in the repository are unbranded? I take it that has to do with the trademark restrictions imposed by Mozilla, but are there any actual differences between those and the ones for download? Other than that the updates lag behind, that is.
[08:34] <_azrael> flubs: btw, stay away from automatix, it breaks stuff.
[08:34] <waxhead> Madpilot, yeah, that's what I thought... but it just isn't happening...
[08:34] <carthik> rayna, I got my info from /usr/share/doc/vino/README and README.Debian
[08:34] <waxhead> it's frustrating as hoary and breezy it all worked fine...
[08:34] <rayna> carthik, just reading that now, thanks :D
[08:35] <_azrael> waxhead: If that stuff is failing, maybe:
[08:35] <waxhead> after some setup, but dapper, just isn't working
[08:35] <Madpilot> waxhead, hmm, I always rip to .ogg, so I don't know the details - but at one point I did have SJ set up to rip to mp3... check the wiki again
[08:35] <_azrael> !easyubuntu > waxhead
[08:35] <flubs> _azrael: that screen dump was from directly after I ran a sudo apt-get update...
[08:35] <_azrael> (they've got codec installs that are how I got my full mp3 support)
[08:35] <_azrael> flubs: OK, do you have alot of time?
[08:35] <_azrael> flubs: Not time to be punching things in, but time to wait?
[08:35] <DFM> I need some advice on installing gnome control center.
[08:36] <_azrael> flubs: I have a full system reset to current repos command, but it takes a while to run.
[08:36] <_azrael> flubs: And I mean a _long_ while.
[08:36] <flubs> _azrael: haha, like start it and go to sleep long time to run?
[08:36] <DFM> when I try and install using a package manager it says "BREAK" install
[08:36] <flubs> _azrael: cuz that would be great :-D
[08:36] <pluma> Also, how long do repository version lag behind, and is there something one can do about it (e.g. manual update)?
[08:37] <Linuturk> _azrael, a full system reset?
[08:37] <DFM> it won't let me install it and I don't know where to look for what might be the problem
[08:37] <_azrael> Linuturk: Essentially, it looks for all packages in the system, and does apt-get install --reinstall on each of them
[08:37] <erpo> Hi all. I need to connect to a windows machine running ultravnc from a linux laptop. The ultravnc server is using the AES encryption plugin. How can I do this?
[08:37] <_azrael> Linuturk: Fabulous for purging stuff from old repos you don't want on there.
[08:37] <cyphase> http://blog.cyphase.com/2006/08/19/strange-bug-in-gnomes-recent-documents-menu-in-ubuntu/
[08:38] <_azrael> flubs: dpkg -l | grep '^ii' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs apt-get install --reinstall --force-yes -y
[08:38] <flubs> erpo: I've done ultravnc into a linux box but I am not sure about the other way around
[08:39] <_azrael> flubs: And prepare to wait a _long_ time.
[08:39] <_azrael> Linuturk: See how it works?
[08:40] <pluma> Anyone?
[08:40] <flubs> _azrael: it said could not open lock file even when i did a sudo and entered my password
[08:40] <davidrincon2006> hey guys i've got a mate who has an ubuntu install, and hes done some strange update and now apt is stuffed. i get this error message could not open lock /var/lib/apt/lists/lock any idea what i could do to fix this? any generic apt fixing solutions
[08:40] <carthik> _azrael I dont see the benefit in that, since all packages are already uptodate in a system that has been upgraded? And it doesn't remove any packages?
[08:40] <nopi> woiiiii
[08:41] <_azrael> carthik: It does 2 things. 1.) In his case, he's got some packages that are further ahead (came frome edgy) that are messing with his dependencies
[08:41] <flubs> carthik: I'm trying it cuz Automatix borked my system
[08:41] <pluma> I can't believe I spent 8 hours setting up eclipse and java. Where'd the night go? Why is it noon already?
[08:41] <_azrael> carthik: 2.) If you've messed with any of the libs, or anything like that, it restores all the packages to how they should be.
[08:41] <_azrael> flubs: That means you're running an apt-get or synaptic elsewhere, you have to close it first.
[08:41] <carthik> _azrael, but you see how the _order_ in which the packages are replaced are important. forcing yes is not always a great solution. He/she might still have a seriously broken system
[08:42] <carthik> _azrael, not to mention the packages installed by hand from individual debs, like Skype
[08:42] <afflux> morgen...
[08:42] <_azrael> carthik: I suppose it's not a complete reset, but it resets all available packages to a pristine state.
[08:43] <chemaja> holy crap that "reduce resources" metacity gconf setting actually works now
[08:43] <chemaja> sweet
[08:43] <flubs> _azrael: closed my terminal window and I don't see a synaptic window anywhere...is there a force quit command i can try?
[08:43] <waxhead> so no one is having any problems with soundjuice creating big mp3 files?
[08:43] <_azrael> carthik: I found it useful originally when I had been messing around in my lib directories with some linking stuff, and found I had broken several libraries, but didn't kno wwhat.
[08:43] <_azrael> flubs: killall -9 apt-get aptitude synaptic
[08:43] <carthik> _azrael, good for you but might be poison for someone who doesnt know as much - like a new user - so I'd be careful with calling it something it is not.
[08:43] <_azrael> Or rather
[08:44] <carthik> or at least qualify what could go wrong.
[08:44] <_azrael> flubs: sudo killall -9 apt-get aptitude synaptic
[08:44] <_azrael> carthik: I don't think it can do any harm. At worst, they spend a really long time downloading.
[08:44] <_azrael> carthik: Though I will be careful about calling it a system reset, you're right there.
[08:44] <flubs> _azrael: haha, returned a 'no process killed' on all three
[08:44] <carthik> _azrael, I mentioned the harm it can do a little up there...
[08:45] <MichaelLippman> quit
[08:45] <gerhard> good morning
[08:45] <_azrael> carthik: If apt-get install --reinstall can't find the package, it doesn't do anything.
[08:46] <_azrael> carthik: It'd only remove by-hand debs if there was a version extant in sources.list repos.
[08:46] <ajopaul> !boot > ajopaul
[08:46] <_azrael> flubs: try just sudo apt-get update, tell me if that works
[08:47] <_azrael> flubs: if it does, run: sudo su
[08:47] <_azrael> flubs: then run the command I gave you.
[08:47] <_azrael> flubs: I think the sudo just didn't have the privleges carry all the way through.
[08:47] <Flannel> DONT  use sudo su

[08:47] <flubs> the apt-get update seems to have worked, but the other script is still giving the same error
[08:48] <Flannel> _azrael: if you want that, use sudo -i
[08:48] <flubs> _azrael: Thanks for the help but I think I am just going to have to follow a tutorial I found to move my /home to a new partition and reinstall in the morning.  For now I just need to get some sleep

[08:49] <_azrael> ignore, sorry, need to modify
[08:49] <Flannel> _azrael: just use sudo -i beforehand, it'll be fine

[08:50] <nnx> How do I go about changing the default JVM to Sun's?
[08:50] <_azrael> Should work.
[08:50] <nnx> Is there an automated method or do I go into /etc/alternates and rewire the symlinks manually?
[08:50] <_azrael> Or,
[08:50] <nnx> Er, /etc/alternatives, that is
[08:50] <_azrael> flubs: sudo -i dpkg -l | grep '^ii' | awk '{print $2}' | xargs apt-get install --reinstall --force-yes -y
[08:50] <_azrael> Should work too.

[08:58] <waxhead> can someone paste their mp3 setting for sound juicer... that doesn't create large mp3's
[08:58] <hush> my bad I'm knew I didn't realize what channel I was in - my apologies
[08:58] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> What's an easy way to make a trash bin icon on the desktop? :)
[08:59] <carthik> vasyl, lock it once you have the right version
[08:59] <Flannel> hush: no big deal.  You're welcome to come babel endlessly in #ubuntu-offtopic, the rest of us do ;)
[08:59] <chemaja> PyroManiak, no idea -- maybe under apps >> nautilus, but ive never solved this particular prob
[09:00] <hush> Flannel: ty!
[09:00] <vasyl> carthik: cool thanks it worked :D i need to lock fglrx cause I hace X200M card and it only works with 8.24.8 and not the current one
[09:00] <PyroManiak> chemaja: Yes, Nautilus has a checkbox for "show volumes" thank you
[09:00] <chemaja> PyroManiak, nice!
[09:01] <Madpilot> Flannel, he could even babble endlessly ;)
[09:01] <PyroManiak> chemaja: "volumes visible" if you want to uncheck it
[09:02] <waxhead> how do I "update" the menus?
[09:02] <ompaul> GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop, is it not on the panel on the bottom right corner of the screen
[09:02] <waxhead> I'm missing some apps in the list
[09:02] <Madpilot> waxhead, not all apps appear in the menus
[09:04] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> ompaul: i already rid of that, I want an actual desktop icon, I think gtweakui can do it, or how about... where is the trash bin physically located?
[09:04] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> obviously not /dev/null....
[09:05] <ompaul> GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop,  ln -s /home/username/.Trash Desktop/.
[09:05] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> ahh k
[09:05] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> thx
[09:05] <heyjoe52> *sigh* ppl tell me things i have no idea what they mean in emails. "In a root shell change directory to where you extracted the files." what does this mean to, to a first day linux user?
[09:05] <Davey> oga
[09:06] <ompaul> GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop,  ln -s /home/username/.Trash Desktop/Trash  <<drop the dot & it looks like a folder you have to skin it up
[09:06] <_azrael> heyjoe42: Do you know how to use cd?
[09:06] <Flannel> heyjoe52: add a comma after shell.
[09:06] <ompaul> heyjoe52, did you look at the introduction to the Desktop and so on?
[09:06] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> actually
[09:07] <Flannel> heyjoe52: only, with ubuntu, you don't do the root shell thing, we usesudo
[09:07] <zithowa> i have a bunch of files named "somethingstupid.part0x.ext".  how do i rename them all in one command to "somethingsmart.part0x.ext"?
[09:07] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> ompaul: i knew the symbollic link command, just needed the path... (I'm a fluxbox user, and don't normally use Ubuntu)
[09:07] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> thx
[09:07] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> :)
[09:08] <zithowa> i dunno how to do anything with shell regexp
[09:08] <waxhead> this is hopeless!!!!
[09:08] <_azrael> zithowa: and the x is the only thing that changes from file to file?
[09:08] <ompaul> heyjoe52, stick with the documentation you have go through it and you will be fine, if you go off doing some other stuff that you can't evaluate as good or bad advice you may do things you don't want to actually do (no there is no virus issue but there are ways to damage your o/s)
[09:08] <waxhead> I've never had so much trouble with encoding to mp3!
[09:08] <zithowa> _azrael: yes
[09:09] <ompaul> !restricted > waxhead
[09:09] <ompaul> waxhead, install the relevant parts there and then use whatever ripper you want
[09:09] <zithowa> _azrael: maybe i'll just make a quick script
[09:09] <heyjoe52> ahh, thank you, i will go through and read it. I'm an isp tech in Canada and got tired of windows, but linux is weird and disoreinting to my eyes
[09:09] <_azrael> zithowa: Yeah, a perl script'd probably be the easiest way. You know how?
[09:10] <waxhead> ompaul, it's not that I can't encode to mp3, ti's just that they are so freakin HUGE!
[09:10] <waxhead> ompaul, they're 40 meg!
[09:11] <ompaul> waxhead, and the source file size?
[09:11] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> hmmm
[09:11] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> ompaul: just thought of a prob
[09:11] <waxhead> I'm wondering though, that I have gstreamer10 libs installed....
[09:11] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> The icon isnt dynamic like it would normally be...
[09:11] <waxhead> ompaul, I don't know, I'm using sound juicer....
[09:11] <waxhead> I tried banshee but it won't "see" mp3 settings....
[09:12] <ompaul> waxhead, my personal favorite program is called GRIP (but then I am an old timer)
[09:12] <frying_fish> waxhead: sound juicer doesn't have mp3 by default
[09:12] <frying_fish> you have to create the profile
[09:13] <frying_fish> and sound juicer also won't let you name files in a good way
[09:13] <waxhead> ompaul, yeah, I have grip, but it's not as nice iwth it's file naming, and it's just a pain to work out... I like SJ's.
[09:13] <frying_fish> sound juicer is worse at filenaming, you can even alter what it does for naming, you can only choose from its options
[09:13] <waxhead> frying_fish, I know, I have mp3's working.. had it working in all other versions of ubuntu too... so far dapper has been a real problem
[09:13] <frying_fish> which don't include artist - album - number - title
[09:14] <zithowa> _azrael: i know how to do it in ruby
[09:14] <zithowa> i dunno perl atm
[09:14] <_azrael> zithowa: Even better. I'll leave you to it.
[09:14] <_azrael> zithowa: On a random note, if you already know ruby, you probably shouldn't bother too much w/ perl
[09:19] <Csabo2> if you need a good mp3 player use beep
[09:19] <NineTeen67Comet> Triple Monitors is a REALITY! .. Yeah for cheap CRT monitors and open source X servers! .. WOW! Move the mouse from the far right to the far left, and you better have a wide mouse pad .. heheheheh
[09:19] <Scorpmoon> where can I read about how to control ubuntu server remotely?
[09:19] <Scorpmoon> from a windows machine
[09:20] <NineTeen67Comet> Scorpmoon: did you pop openssh on your server? If so you can use Putty ..
[09:20] <_azrael> !ssh > scorpmoon
[09:21] <NineTeen67Comet> If not you can download and install Webmin .. then use Firefox (Cuz I know you ain't using IE) .. to access your server ..
[09:21] <Scorpmoon> is the ubuntu server side ready for it though?
[09:21] <Carmen-> is there some advanced tutorial about hard drive partitions?
[09:21] <NineTeen67Comet> Scorpmoon: You have to apt-get install openssh-server I beleive ..
[09:21] <Carmen-> i wanna know everything about hard disk
[09:22] <secleinteer> hey, i started ubuntu, and it said that every 30th boot it needs to check the file system
[09:22] <secleinteer> but it can't check it automatically cause it fails
[09:22] <secleinteer> so it asks for the root password
[09:22] <NineTeen67Comet> Carmen-: fire up google.com .. look for a wiki .. etc. etc .. there really isn't much except to get in there and learn it ..
[09:22] <secleinteer> but it won't accept it
[09:22] <secleinteer> does any1 know how to get around this?
[09:22] <homerh_linux> hiya ppl
[09:22] <Carmen-> NineTeen67Comet i dont know what i am searching for
[09:23] <secleinteer> any1?
[09:23] <secleinteer> i really need this fixed
[09:23] <NineTeen67Comet> secleinteer: sounds like you might have the wrong fs type in your fstab .. I had ext2 when mine was reiserfs and it kicked an oerror out like that too ..
[09:23] <Carmen-> i always find some noobie documentation
[09:23] <Carmen-> like "hard drive stores files"
[09:23] <NineTeen67Comet> Carmen-: try .. googaling for "hard drive partitioning" ..
[09:23] <secleinteer> mine says that line 10 is messed up in fstab
[09:23] <secleinteer> that may be for my windows share
[09:23] <secleinteer> my windows box isn't working right now
[09:23] <secleinteer> so it gets an error when trying to mount
[09:23] <meathead> Carmen-: about.com does great information on like, everything
[09:24] <secleinteer> but how can i fix this?
[09:24] <meathead> Carmen-: they'll teach you how to play guitar
[09:24] <NineTeen67Comet> secleinteer: you might have to boot into your box with the live cd, then use that to edit your fstab on your hard drive .. space down 10 lines and see what's the issue
[09:24] <secleinteer> ok
[09:24] <homerh_linux> haveing a problem with synaptic it wont load just let me enter my password first time then ,then evry other try the cursor goes for a asecound or 2 and nothing and i cant add programs via applications/add,remove
[09:24] <secleinteer> will backtrack work? because i'm using my copy of knoppix on my windows box to get into here
[09:25] <NineTeen67Comet> you can use knppix to look at your fstab too ..
[09:25] <secleinteer> i don't have a copy to put in that comp
[09:25] <NineTeen67Comet> secleinteer: fstab is a file not an application ..
[09:25] <secleinteer> i know
[09:25] <homerh_linux> also apt=get works fine from a terminal
[09:26] <crazy_penguin> Good morning everyone! :)
[09:26] <NineTeen67Comet> secleinteer: fstab files are simple to edit . you don't need a new one .. there are also (haven't got it handy) places via google that show how to fix your windows MBR back to default, then you can re-do Ubuntu ..
[09:26] <homerh_linux> morning crazy_penguin
[09:27] <secleinteer> windows mbr?
[09:27] <lukem> hey all
[09:27] <NineTeen67Comet> secleinteer: least that way you can get back in your box w/out being in Knoppix .. mbr = master boot record .. grub is what's there now handeling that ..
[09:27] <secleinteer> i don't even know what's wrong with my windows box
[09:27] <method|> can someone tell me what mouse theme ubuntu uses as default?
[09:27] <secleinteer> i'm not even worrying about that now
[09:27] <homerh_linux> windows is on it
[09:28] <NineTeen67Comet> secleinteer: if you fix the mbr you can boot into windows and start over .. your XP disc should have a utility on it to do that (it's been a couple years since I used windows but it was there back then) ..
[09:28] <NineTeen67Comet> secleinteer: google for windows mbr repair or fix ..
[09:29] <secleinteer> you do realize that ubuntu and windows are on separate computers right?
[09:29] <secleinteer> are you saying i can fix my windows like this?
[09:29] <Carmen-> i dont get it
[09:29] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: what is your  problem?
[09:29] <KillerDemon> just press R with windows xp setup
[09:29] <Carmen-> whats with the Bootable flag with partition?
[09:29] <NineTeen67Comet> aha .. I thought you put Ubuntu  on this computer you are on now .. that also had Windows on it ..
[09:29] <Carmen-> you can boot to partiton that is not Bootable
[09:29] <Carmen-> even ubuntus installed does not make partitions botable
[09:29] <method|> can someone tell me what cursor theme ubuntu uses as default?
[09:29] <Carmen-> but still it boots to them..
[09:30] <secleinteer> fyrestrtr: i'm booting ubuntu for a 30th time when i check the fs
[09:30] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> how can I remove a package without it pulling other things with it, I have to use dpkg, right?  If so, what switches?
[09:30] <secleinteer> and it can't do it automatically
[09:30] <secleinteer> so it says i have to do manually
[09:30] <_azrael> Carmen-: The bootable flag is for the old DOS MBR. It really doesn't do much of anything nowadays.
[09:30] <secleinteer> but my root password isn't working, which i need b4 doing it manually
[09:30] <secleinteer> and my fstab is not workign apparently
[09:30] <homerh_linux> can anyone help me synapics is not working wont load ,but apt-get work from terminal
[09:30] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: do you only have one partition?
[09:31] <fyrestrtr> homerh_linux: are you using xgl?
[09:31] <homerh_linux> yeah
[09:31] <waxhead> damn... still big files
[09:31] <fyrestrtr> homerh_linux: check the forums, I believe there is a fix for it.
[09:31] <secleinteer> only 1 partition on the ubuntu comp
[09:31] <secleinteer> just restarted after no major changes
[09:31] <secleinteer> and i can't get in now
[09:31] <homerh_linux> ok will do thanks
[09:32] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: okay, does it give you any errors?
[09:32] <secleinteer> yes
[09:32] <secleinteer> it says line 10 of fstab is messed up
[09:32] <secleinteer> and it can't do an auto fsck
[09:32] <secleinteer> i just want to skip this
[09:32] <HellDragon> night
[09:32] <secleinteer> is there any way to just bypass it?
[09:33] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: lol okay, that's why its asking you for the root password, because it is trying to drop into maintenance mode, which needs a proper, funtioning root account (something that is disabled in ubuntu). Its not a big deal, boot from the livecd, and edit the fstab file, then reboot the machine and let it do its check. There is a way to bypass it, but you need to be in a shell to get to it.
[09:33] <Carmen-> when you make partition this "Extended partition" shows up
[09:33] <Carmen-> what is that Extended thing
[09:34] <secleinteer> what do i edit in the fstab file?
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> Carmen-: why don't you google this information? It has nothing to do with ubuntu.
[09:34] <secleinteer> just line 10?
[09:34] <homerh_linux> thanks fyrestrtr that worked a treat
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: depends what's wrong with it, but line 10 is where I would look.
[09:34] <secleinteer> ok
[09:34] <secleinteer> and if i do that
[09:34] <secleinteer> it should boot fine?
[09:34] <fyrestrtr> yes
[09:34] <secleinteer> ok
[09:34] <method|> can someone please tell me what is the default cursor them in ubuntu
[09:34] <secleinteer> i'm trying to get into my hd with backtrack
[09:34] <secleinteer> but i can't
[09:34] <method|> theme*
[09:34] <secleinteer> so i'll have to pull out my knoppix cd
[09:34] <_azrael> Carmen-: The "extended" choice is if you want to have a partition with other partitions in it. This choice exists due to restrictions on the drive partition table which limit it to 4 partitions.
[09:35] <secleinteer> which i'm using now on this other comp
[09:35] <secleinteer> i'll be sure to come back and say if it worked
[09:35] <ajopaul> hi does any one know a good wmv/mpg to 3gp converter for ubuntu???
[09:35] <Scorpmoon> After installing openssh-server and running putty on windows, connecting to my IP, nothing happens.
[09:35] <Scorpmoon> do I need to do something else?
[09:35] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> No one knows an answer to my question? :-/
[09:36] <_azrael> Scorpmoon: sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start
[09:36] <meathead> what is it
[09:36] <NineTeen67Comet> Scorpmoon: did you start ssh? sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start ..
[09:36] <Scorpmoon> lol no
[09:36] <Scorpmoon> how do I make ssh start everytime I reboot?
[09:36] <meathead> GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop: what is your question
[09:37] <rrk> but it in  rc
[09:37] <rrk> put it in rc
[09:37] <meathead> Scorpmoon: system > preferences > sessions
[09:37] <Scorpmoon> sudo /etc/init.d/ssh start fails !
[09:37] <Awesome-o2000> hey now - gimp is multithreaded
[09:37] <Scorpmoon> meathead, i'm in console
[09:37] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> meathead: more or less, how to use dpkg to remove one package without removing other packages in which apt thinks are no longer needed
[09:37] <_azrael> Scorpmoon: What does it fail on?
[09:37] <Scorpmoon> Starting OpenBSD Secure Shell Server...
[09:38] <Scorpmoon> i don't use DHCP
[09:38] <Awesome-o2000> theres something that uses my cpu
[09:38] <Awesome-o2000> nice
[09:38] <Awesome-o2000> converting an animated gif to rgb
[09:38] <ttyfscker> ok now
[09:38] <ttyfscker> wtf
[09:38] <meathead> GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop: they are packages that depend on the package you want to remove... deleting the package that you are trying to remove will BREAK all the others, so it makes you either remove them, or not remove anything
[09:38] <ttyfscker> ubuntu christian edition?
[09:38] <ttyfscker> what does religion got to do with linux?
[09:39] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> meathead: i understand all this, but there is still a no dep switch
[09:39] <Awesome-o2000> ttyfscker, probably just has good porn blockers and the such
[09:39] <ttyfscker> christians too good for the other distros now?
[09:39] <Awesome-o2000> ttyfscker, and maybe Christian art
[09:39] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> I know exactly what the package is that it is trying to remove
[09:39] <ttyfscker> apt-pray ?
[09:39] <Awesome-o2000> apt-get install religion
[09:39] <meathead> man dkpg
[09:39] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> ahh cmon
[09:40] <Scorpmoon> so i can't use openssh-server now?
[09:40] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> :P
[09:40] <ttyfscker> apt-pray condemn packagename
[09:40] <trpr_> what repo is automake1.5 in?
[09:40] <fyrestrtr> trpr_: sudo apt-get install build-essential
[09:40] <NineTeen67Comet> Scorpmoon: you should be able to .. I don't use DHCP .. on your MS box in putty just put the ip address enter, and walla . it'll ask you for your user name ..
[09:40] <trpr_> fyrestrtr: thanks but not thanks. i have automake1.4 and automake1.9 thanks... this obscure build wants 1.5 but it can't be found
[09:40] <Scorpmoon> Nineteen, yeah but the openssh server doesn't run, it fails
[09:40] <NineTeen67Comet> That is if /etc/init.d/ssh start . turned out fine ..
[09:40] <Scorpmoon> so what can I do
[09:41] <NineTeen67Comet> aha .. missed that sorry ..
[09:41] <fyrestrtr> trpr_: build of what?
[09:41] <waxhead> finally!
[09:41] <meathead> fyrestrtr: christian ubuntu! duh!
[09:41] <NineTeen67Comet> hum.... Scorpmoon . never had ssh fail to install .. lol
[09:41] <waxhead> no VBR though.. :(
[09:41] <trpr_> fyrestrtr: kmud. old kde software
[09:41] <meathead> gotta do things the conversative way!
[09:41] <Scorpmoon> it installed, it just doesn't run
[09:42] <fyrestrtr> trpr_: hrmm, try packages.ubuntu.com
[09:42] <fyrestrtr> trpr_: don't think its available though
[09:42] <PyroManiak> how do I search my entire system for a file?
[09:42] <trpr_> fyrestrtr: hrm. i believe you. i'll just have to build it myself :\
[09:42] <fyrestrtr> PyroManiak: sudo find / -t f -name "somefile.txt"
[09:43] <meathead> anyone know of an easy way to mount a bin/cue without manually downloading and install cdemu
[09:43] <Scorpmoon> why does ubuntu server have to be rocket science, like any other distro?
[09:43] <Scorpmoon> ubuntu desktop is ok
[09:43] <secleinteer> fyrestrtr: you there?
[09:43] <JdGordon> i formatted my winxp partition (which was hda1, ubuntu is hda3), and now grub will not start ubuntu.. how can i fix it?
[09:43] <fyrestrtr> meathead: sudo mount -t auto -o loop foo.bin /path/to/somewhere -- if its a dvd or video, mplayer can play it directly from the bin
[09:43] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: yeah
[09:44] <secleinteer> ok so now i'm on the comp i'm trying to fix, using knoppix
[09:44] <fyrestrtr> JdGordon: re-install grub.
[09:44] <secleinteer> but i can't write files
[09:44] <secleinteer> how do i get permission?
[09:44] <JdGordon> fyrestrtr: how?
[09:44] <NineTeen67Comet> Scorpmoon: I didn't see the fail .. just the start .. can you ping your server?  You'd probably have to mount your disks.
[09:44] <meathead> fyrestrtr: thx thx thx!
[09:45] <fyrestrtr> !grub > JdGordon
[09:45] <secleinteer> the problem is a windows file share, like i thought
[09:45] <secleinteer> that windows computer is down
[09:45] <secleinteer> so it can't mount it
[09:45] <PyroManiak> fyrestrtr: find: invalid predicate `-t'
[09:45] <secleinteer> i need to just delete that line in fstab
[09:45] <secleinteer> i've got fstab open right now
[09:45] <secleinteer> with the changes made
[09:45] <secleinteer> but i can't save to hdd
[09:45] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: are you sure you are reading the correct fstab?
[09:45] <secleinteer> yes
[09:45] <Scorpmoon> Nineteen, no i can't ping in or out.. I followed this instruction to setup my network: https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/network-configuration.html
[09:45] <secleinteer> /etc/fstab
[09:45] <meathead> fyrestrtr: mount: you must specify the filesystem type
[09:46] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: no, I mean are you reading the one from your disk, and not the one from knoppix. That's why I said, mount your disk. You ubuntu disk.
[09:46] <NineTeen67Comet> secleinteer: that might be knoppix's fstab .. Ubuntu's will be like /mnt/hda3/etc/fstab .. (depending on where your / is on your hd) ..
[09:46] <secleinteer> i know i'm looking at the ubuntu fstab
[09:46] <secleinteer> because i have the mod i made to it
[09:46] <fyrestrtr> meathead: install bchunk
[09:47] <secleinteer> so i could make a local folder for my windows file share
[09:47] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: you haven't mounted the partition with write privileges, check how its mounted.
[09:47] <secleinteer> ok
[09:47] <PyroManiak> Any reason why sometimes my keys will repeat, but other times they dont? *for instance if I hold the down arrow while browsing the web*
[09:47] <NineTeen67Comet> Scorpmoon: wow, that's the hard way .. you "should" have just been able to type ifconfig eth0 ip.add.ress up then route default gw ip.add.ress eth0
[09:48] <NineTeen67Comet> Scorpmoon: I'll read it a little and see if I can tell what might be fishy ..
[09:48] <meathead> bchuck installed, small error message
[09:48] <Scorpmoon> Nineteen, how do I update the information I just entered in /etc/network/interfaces ?
[09:48] <secleinteer> fyrestrtr: i can't change the permissions on /etc/fstab
[09:48] <Scorpmoon> so it goes into effect
[09:48] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: type 'mount'
[09:48] <secleinteer> in konsole?
[09:49] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: yes
[09:49] <fyrestrtr> and then pastebin the output
[09:49] <meathead> fyrestrtr: and now I'm getting this error message http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21194 again. HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP!!!
[09:49] <NineTeen67Comet> Scorpmoon: I'm reading up a little on your link .. did you follow the static directions and all that? (assuming you did)
[09:49] <holycow> anyone know the status of libdvdcss2 ... i keep on running into dvds where certain tracks cannot have their keys generated ... is this common?
[09:49] <Scorpmoon> yes but I had an error.. i don't want DHCP .. but it seems even if I want to use static, I have to set eth0 as dhcp and eth1 as static

[09:50] <secleinteer> /dev/hda1 is my hdd
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: learn to use the pastebin, its there for a reason.
[09:50] <Carmen-> no shit
[09:50] <secleinteer> what's pastebin?
[09:50] <Carmen-> lo
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> !pastebin
[09:50] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[09:50] <meathead> sudo gedit /dev/hda1/etc/fstab
[09:50] <meathead> errr
[09:50] <meathead> sudo gedit /media/hda1/etc/fstab
[09:50] <meathead> I ment
[09:50] <secleinteer> if that's a program or something, i can't install it in knoppix
[09:50] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: the reason you can't write to it, is because its mounted read only (ro)
[09:50] <NineTeen67Comet> Scorpmoon: you can disable one and use the other .. ifconfig eth0 down (or eth1) .. then build for the one you want .. they can't both have the same info or they conflict (least in my case they did0 ..
[09:50] <meathead> not the first
[09:51] <secleinteer> so how do i mount it with write priveleges?
[09:51] <meathead> secleinteer: it's a website for people who don't want to flood the channel
[09:51] <secleinteer> oh
[09:51] <secleinteer> i see
[09:51] <Scorpmoon> Nineteen, I don't know that if then language you're talking about
[09:51] <secleinteer> well i'll use it from now
[09:51] <Carmen-> chmod -r 777 /
[09:51] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: sudu umount /dev/hda1
[09:51] <NineTeen67Comet> meathead: he might have to use nano if gedit isn't on knoppix
[09:51] <meathead> yeah
[09:51] <secleinteer> ok.........
[09:51] <secleinteer> now?
[09:51] <NineTeen67Comet> lol
[09:52] <vedder> Hi people :D
[09:52] <meathead> fyrestrtr: I installed bchuck, it didn't help..
[09:52] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: sudo mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /media/hd1
[09:52] <NineTeen67Comet> Scorpmoon: type .. ifconfig .. and see which card is which .. you should have lo,eth0 and eth1 listed .. and lspci will tell you which is which pretty much ..
[09:52] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: then type 'mount' and tell me the part after type ext3
[09:52] <meathead> oh, bchuck is a conversion tool
[09:52] <meathead> I see
[09:52] <bryan> anyone here running mythtv?
[09:52] <fyrestrtr> meathead: did you actually USE it?
[09:52] <meathead> well paint me green and call me kermit
[09:52] <meathead> I thought INSTALLING it would solve me problems
[09:52] <vedder> I just convert a ntfs partition to ext3 how can i mount it via fstab?
[09:52] <meathead> I never read what it DOES
[09:53] <Gibbster> Hi! Has anyone managed to connect to the Lexmark E120n via ethernet with ubuntu?

[09:53] <fyrestrtr> !locales > meathead
[09:54] <Scorpmoon> nineteen, if I don't want to use dhcp, i just make eth0 static?
[09:54] <secleinteer> fyrestrtr: it's rw
[09:54] <Scorpmoon> btw. now openssh-server started automatically at reboot
[09:54] <Scorpmoon> weird
[09:54] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: now, edit /media/hd1/etc/fstab
[09:54] <NineTeen67Comet> Scorpmoon: yeah .. ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.? up .. should turn it on ..
[09:54] <meisam> hi, how can i install postgres?
[09:54] <NineTeen67Comet> Scorpmoon: ?=what ever your IP is ..
[09:55] <vedder> Can someone please help me munting a ext3 partition?
[09:55] <Carmen-> mount -t ext3 /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
[09:55] <secleinteer> fyrestrtr: i still couldn't save
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> meisam: sudo apt-get install postgresql
[09:55] <fyrestrtr> secleinteer: you are doing something wrong then.
[09:55] <secleinteer> let me try again
[09:55] <vedder> Carmen thanks but i want to add the line in fstab to automount
[09:56] <Carmen-> nano /etc/fstab
[09:56] <vedder> yep
[09:56] <Scorpmoon> nineteen, how do I assign 2 ips to eth0?
[09:56] <NineTeen67Comet> vedder: /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ext3 defaults 0 0
[09:56] <vedder> i made a folder in media
[09:56] <Scorpmoon> just type 2 address lines?
[09:56] <NineTeen67Comet> Scorpmoon: I don't think you can .. that would create a conflict ..
[09:56] <Scorpmoon> on windows i can
[09:56] <Bug-E> *yawn*
[09:56] <vedder> Thanks i will try with that
[09:56] <Carmen-> in windows you make Microsoft Folder but in linux you make Directorys
[09:57] <meathead> fyrestrtr: I'm assuming you thought the bot messaged me when you typed !locates > meathead... it didn't.
[09:57] <NineTeen67Comet> grin
[09:57] <chops-> i am getting a nasty error when i try and install daydream BBS software

[10:01] <meathead> oh well
[10:01] <meathead> guess no pm's for me
[10:03] <sai> hi, i have a problem with my sound in some of the ubuntu applications - firefox, skype, also when i'm using java i can't hear anything, though there is a perfectly fine sound when playing music in xmms or watching a movie through vlc / totem
[10:03] <meathead> and like everyone else on the forums, the fix at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LocaleConf doesn't work.
[10:03] <sai> the problem is that it worked some time ago and nothing is actually changed, just regular updates
[10:04] <sai> using alsa here
[10:04] <voltagex> how can I get ubuntu to detect my soundcard? it's listed in lspci
[10:04] <sai> also, skype tends to fuck the sound of vlc when ran in bg
[10:04] <meathead> great, now instead of getting the error once, I get it four times
[10:04] <DBO> !language > sai
[10:05] <_azrael> sai: Skype has a reputation for 1.) Sometimes just not working. and 2.) Not liking any other sound.
[10:05] <sai> DBO: sorry
[10:05] <vedder> e again and the same problem
[10:05] <vedder> i can write in the ext3 partition
[10:05] <vedder> can/t
[10:05] <holycow> what is the next ubuntu version called again?
[10:05] <vedder> sorry i CAN'T
[10:05] <sai> _azrael: that's fine with me, still would like to get sound working in general basis
[10:05] <voltagex> holycow: edgy
[10:05] <Gorth-> holycow: Edgy
[10:05] <vedder> adgy
[10:05] <holycow> danke
[10:06] <_azrael> sai: Just my 2 cents.
[10:06] <vedder> edgy*
[10:06] <sai> like in firefox ..
[10:06] <vedder> i have this defaults        0       0 why i can write?
[10:07] <j0k3rz> hi
[10:07] <secleinteer> fyrestrtr: it still won't work
[10:07] <secleinteer> i'm not getting that particular error
[10:07] <KillerDemon> holycow  it's called edgy eft
[10:08] <vedder> why i am so stooopid :(

[10:08] <meathead> forbidden_fruit: right here
[10:08] <KillerDemon> lol setting up wine
[10:08] <meathead> forbidden_fruit: sudo apt-get install wine; winecfg
[10:09] <meathead> the winecfg command gives you a nice little program to set it up
[10:09] <meathead> easily
[10:09] <forbidden_fruit> meathead: done half of that
[10:09] <secleinteer> fyrestrtr: you there?
[10:09] <forbidden_fruit> thank you meathead
[10:09] <meathead> yep

[10:14] <secleinteer> k
[10:14] <linkslice> mythtv specs vary a lot from hardware..i'm just trying to figure out the the server or workstation edition of dapper would be better...
[10:15] <linkslice> i've got relatively beefy hardware
[10:15] <KillerDemon> why dont you try xubuntu 6.10 edgy eft
[10:15] <KillerDemon> xgl out of the box
[10:15] <KillerDemon> and optimized for speed
[10:15] <linkslice> ohhhh pretty :-)
[10:15] <meathead> what is xgl

[10:17] <DARKGuy> linkslice: Hehe, yup xD
[10:17] <KillerDemon> forbidden_fruit just open it with wine
[10:17] <DARKGuy> Anyhow! :P anybody knows how to make the programs catch the changes in .Xdefaults without restarting my X?
[10:17] <forbidden_fruit> KillerDemon: how?
[10:17] <meisam> open office is not installed on my dapper just upgreade
[10:17] <meisam> how can i install open office
[10:18] <rem> sudo apt-get install open-office
[10:18] <chops-> when i do a make i get this error what could be wrong ?
[10:18] <chops-> make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.
[10:18] <KillerDemon> !wine
[10:18] <ubotu> wine is a compatibility layer for running windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information.
[10:18] <chops-> dont i have make installed ?
[10:18] <DARKGuy> chol: try ./configure ?
[10:18] <DARKGuy> er, *chops
[10:18] <chops-> yeah i done that
[10:18] <chops-> configure WARNING *** curses not found, hydracom will not be compiled configure: error: "BUILD HYDRACOM" was never defined usaly this means the macro was invoked conditionally
[10:18] <Thunderpants> chops-, sudo apt-get install build-essential
[10:18] <chops-> got that
[10:18] <meathead> wine utorrent.exe
[10:19] <meathead> forbidden_fruit: wine utorrent.exe
[10:19] <forbidden_fruit> meathead: thank you
[10:19] <rem> you have th be in the Wine directory i think meathead
[10:19] <DARKGuy> chops-: try apt-get install libncurses5-dev , sounds like you haven't got the curses development libs
[10:19] <meathead> ...or you have to be in a terminal where the exe is
[10:19] <rem> it creates a "C" like..MY documents etc...
[10:20] <meathead> ...like every other file
[10:20] <linkslice> damn no US mirrors of xubuntu...
[10:20] <forbidden_fruit> meathead: you do, or you have to specify the location where utorrent.exe is located
[10:20] <KillerDemon> try dutch mirrors :D
[10:20] <rem> put ure file in "MY Documents" for ex..and it should work better ..
[10:20] <chops-> build-essential is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
[10:20] <meathead> ...yeah
[10:21] <linkslice> i don't see a dutch one either...
[10:21] <Thunderpants> chops-, did you configure b4 make?
[10:21] <meathead> you can't be in /home/meathead and try to run /otherhdd/utorrent.exe by typing wine utorrent.exe
[10:21] <linkslice> the main mirror is canadian no?
[10:21] <meathead> ...just like everything else in linux, ever
[10:21] <DARKGuy> he doesn't seems to have the curses dev libs
[10:21] <KillerDemon> linkslice: (netherlands)
[10:21] <forbidden_fruit> same with ms-dos too meathead
[10:21] <HeathenDan> wine '/media/otherhdd/utorrent.exe'
[10:22] <meathead> forbidden_fruit: yeah
[10:22] <linkslice> doh!
[10:22] <linkslice> ;)
[10:22] <KillerDemon> ^^
[10:22] <forbidden_fruit> :p
[10:22] <chops-> DARKGuy i am downloading that thing now :) hopefulyl with that it works
[10:22] <forbidden_fruit> i converted a fat32 partition into ntfs. ubuntu doesn't read any of its contents anymore......
[10:22] <forbidden_fruit> do i need to edit the fstab?
[10:22] <DARKGuy> chops-: good luck, try doing a ./configure again so it gets the changes ^^
[10:22] <meathead> ntfs is readable, not writable by ubuntu
[10:23] <DARKGuy> chops-: 'cause you can't "make" without being sure that "configure" ended successfully
[10:23] <ompaul> !ntfs > forbidden_fruit
[10:24] <forbidden_fruit> meathead: that isn't very good news. are you sure about that?
[10:24] <ompaul> forbidden_fruit, read the link ubotu sent you
[10:24] <ompaul> forbidden_fruit, you can't write you can read
[10:24] <forbidden_fruit> got it ompaul, thanks
[10:24] <forbidden_fruit> i see
[10:24] <ompaul> forbidden_fruit, there are tools that say write - if they wreck the ntfs on you it can kill all the data there
[10:24] <meathead> forbidden_fruit: well, there are EXPERIMENTAL programs...
[10:24] <secleinteer> could someone look back in their chat history and tell me how fyrestrtr said i should remount my /dev/hda1? it's something like sudo mount -t ....
[10:25] <meathead> forbidden_fruit: you could try one, if you're not too fond of your pr0n collection
[10:25] <forbidden_fruit> i'm poor in that department meathead , so i guess its fine :p whats it called?
[10:25] <meathead> secleinteer: if you're fstab is properly configured now you can just type mount /dev/hda1
[10:25] <forbidden_fruit> the program
[10:25] <secleinteer> i need to mount it so i can read/write
[10:26] <secleinteer> fyrestrtr said how to do that
[10:26] <secleinteer> but i don't remember
[10:26] <secleinteer> i need to mod the fstab still
[10:26] <meathead> man, XGL looks HAWT, why isn't that ubuntu default
[10:26] <holycow> meathead, because its beta
[10:26] <meathead> ahh
[10:26] <meathead> so that's why it's beautiful
[10:26] <KillerDemon> and because you need videodrivers
[10:26] <secleinteer> could someone please help me?
[10:26] <meathead> ...it's dangerous tooo
[10:26] <holycow> meathead, it mostly doesn't work also, its just an experiment under development right now
[10:26] <secleinteer> just look back in your chat history.........
[10:27] <sn00p> Does anybody know how ot fix ident in ubuntu?
[10:27] <secleinteer> it wasn't that long ago.......
[10:27] <meathead> beautiful and dangerous, sounds like my kind of GUI
[10:28] <AstralJava> secleinteer: Is it this line: (10:52:12) fyrestrtr: secleinteer: sudo mount -t auto /dev/hda1 /media/hd1 ?
[10:28] <secleinteer> yes
[10:28] <secleinteer> thank you so much
[10:28] <NineTeen67Comet> meathead: I used xgl for a few months and had no issues (outside the occasional mplayer complaint) but I upgraded my video card (one AGP and one PCI) and ever since it's been a wash .. it rocks when it works though ..
[10:29] <AstralJava> No prob. :)
[10:29] <meathead> it's been a wash?
[10:29] <meathead> car wash?
[10:29] <Peacer> how can i make myself able to create new folders in the filesystem?
[10:29] <meathead> what does that mean
[10:29] <meathead> you get lots of errors? just doesn't work?
[10:29] <trygg__> How can i change my root password? :)
[10:29] <Peacer> am not allowed to >;/
[10:30] <Tiggy> hey can someone help me vith VLC?
[10:30] <linkslice> KillerDemon, I can't seem to find something called 'edgy' in the mirrors
[10:30] <Tiggy> There isnt any sound
[10:30] <meathead> trygg__: passwd
[10:30] <NineTeen67Comet> meathead: lol .. when you run dual (triple in my case) monitors xgl/compiz (compiz runs under gnome/kde/xfce) it seems to not like xinerama and it's one screen monitor issue .. mine worked for a while very well ..
[10:30] <_azrael> trygg__: It's not reccomended to enable the root account, but if you must: sudo passwd
[10:30] <meathead> Tiggy: is the volume up in VLC and in Ubuntu?
[10:30] <AstralJava> Peacer: Where are you trying to create new directories? If / (root), you need to use sudo.
[10:30] <Tiggy> yes
[10:30] <KillerDemon> linkslice just a moment
[10:30] <trygg__> _azrael: I dont see why people should know their root password?

[10:31] <Peacer> astrajava in / yews
[10:31] <Peacer> yes*
[10:31] <AstralJava> Peacer: Of course, trying to add them most anywhere else outside your own home, requires sudo as well. :)
[10:31] <trygg__> _azrael: shouldnt*
[10:31] <KillerDemon> linkslice:  http://nl.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-cdimage-xubuntu/releases/edgy/knot-1/

[10:31] <Peacer> thank you
[10:31] <AstralJava> Peacer: Does sudo work for your user?
[10:31] <_azrael> trygg__: The idea is that the root account can't be logged into. Doing things only via sudo is generally considered safer both from a security, and an accident-prevention standpoint.
[10:32] <Peacer> thankzorz AstralJava
[10:32] <AstralJava> Ok, you're welcome. :)
[10:32] <linkslice> ahhh
[10:32] <dpupp> So! now i want to change from kernel 23 to kernel 26. How? its not longer appearing under update manager. any reason i should NOT ?

[10:35] <dpupp> tribbe, install alsa-utils and then type alsamixer in a terminal.

[10:36] <Flannel> heyjoe52: do you have synaptic or update manager running?

[10:41] <cogi> ok sorry
[10:41] <TheThingsThatWer> which is a better boot loader, LILO  or GRUB?
[10:41] <AstralJava> cogi: No prob. :)
[10:42] <meathead> GRUB
[10:42] <meathead> is now the more popular choice
[10:42] <meathead> therefore making it the better
[10:42] <meathead> in all reality, you don't need anyone else's opinion on a bootloader, just use one
[10:43] <Peacer> AstralJava that line fucked up like everything

[10:45] <Peacer> AstralJava yes it had
[10:45] <meathead> it amazes me when people hang out here, and instead of saying "wine /path.exe" to someone, they just go !wine or !language

[10:46] <DARKGuy> o_
[10:46] <Peacer> do you know how to undo this?
[10:46] <AstralJava> Peacer: Can you go up one level of that directory you wanted to create, and issue `ls -l`
[10:47] <ardin> ciao
[10:47] <Peacer> done
[10:47] <AstralJava> Peacer: Then let us know the line that concerns this directory, only that one line, please. :)
[10:47] <Warbo> Can someone help me confirm a bug?

[10:47] <Peacer> that's what i did at user:group in that line
[10:48] <AstralJava> Warbo: Depends, what kind of problem is it?
[10:48] <Peacer> do i do root:root to fix it?
[10:48] <Warbo> xteddy doesn't work. I thought it was to do with AIGLX, but I've fixed my Xorg and it still doesn't work
[10:48] <AstralJava> Peacer: Can you paste that line of that ls -l command output, please?
[10:48] <Peacer> no
[10:48] <Peacer> this one is on windoez ;)

[10:49] <Peacer> k
[10:49] <heyjoe52> i just downloaded a file and installed it but cant see it anywhere, where would it go by default and is there a way to make it go to applications?
[10:50] <Warbo> It usually goes to $HOME/Desktop
[10:50] <heyjoe52> just the .dep there, but it says its already installed
[10:50] <Warbo> Installed files go to /usr or /usr/local
[10:50] <Tiggy> back
[10:50] <DARKGuy> Anyways :/ is there a way to make an app get the changes in .Xdefaults without having to restart X?
[10:50] <Warbo> .deb files usually get installed to /usr, the executable will be in /usr/bin
[10:50] <Tiggy> dpupp?
[10:51] <AstralJava> Warbo: Ahh, sorry, no such things in here. Maybe someone else can? Sorry about that...
[10:51] <tibbe> how to restore Ubuntu's default sound/ALSA/mic settings?
[10:51] <Tiggy> Dpupp are you there?
[10:51] <Peacer> AstralJava it doesn't :(
[10:52] <AstralJava> Peacer: Why, what's wrong now?
[10:52] <Peacer> still the same
[10:52] <AstralJava> Peacer: Okay, so you're in / directory, right?

[10:53] <AstralJava> Peacer: And you want to create a directory /ins, correct? And you want to be able to write there, correct?
[10:53] <heyjoe52> well i see it in usr, but it wont open, does it have to open with another application?
[10:54] <DARKGuy> Oh well... :/ bye then
[10:54] <Tiggy> join #alc
[10:54] <Tiggy> Can anyone help me with sound problems on VLC?
[10:54] <Peacer> i don't even have sudo powers
[10:55] <Elephantium> Peacer:  Why not?
[10:55] <AstralJava> Peacer: Well that command didn't do anything to your user, it just changed a directory ownership, that's all.
[10:59] <ubuntu> Booo.
[10:59] <Peacer> you got me to do it in / directory
[10:59] <AstralJava> Peacer: Can you do `sudo cat /etc/sudoers` ?
[11:00] <Peacer> nope
[11:00] <Peacer> sudo: must be setuid root
[11:01] <heyjoe52> if i have to change a file directory location using root, how would i go about doing that?
[11:01] <AstralJava> Peacer: Did you do `sudo chown -R user:group /`, if so, then that changed the whole root directory level, which was _not_ what I instructed, but instead the directory that you created.
[11:02] <Peacer> AstralJava do you know how to solve it?
[11:02] <AstralJava> Peacer: Let me search for the solution. It might take a while, so don't be scared that I ran away, okay? :)
[11:03] <trygg_> Can someone name a docker with a notification area? :D
[11:03] <Peacer> sure won't xD
[11:03] <AstralJava> Peacer: Okay good. :)
[11:03] <Peacer> will it take longer than a reinstall?
[11:03] <Peacer> of ubuntu?
[11:05] <Peacer> AstralJava?
[11:06] <AstralJava> Peacer: Well a reinstall is a rather extreme solution, do you have any sensitive data that you wouldn't want to lose? If so, then reinstall is risky.
[11:06] <Peacer> i installed ubuntu a couple of hours ago
[11:06] <AstralJava> Peacer: Ah.. then, a reinstall might just be fastest. :)
[11:06] <Peacer> ok
[11:07] <AstralJava> Peacer: And next time, try to remember that you don't want to change the root directory itself. :)
[11:07] <Peacer> hehe sure will
[11:08] <sai> how do i erase cd-rw ?
[11:08] <AstralJava> Peacer: Okay good, and sorry if my instructions were confusing. I'll try to make them better the next time.

[11:13] <jean> hello
[11:13] <vertigo> jenda, i would suggest firefox
[11:13] <vertigo> or thunderbird
[11:13] <damo22> you really trashed the permissions eh

[11:22] <syntaxx> AstralJava: yeah i alreacy check it out i mean what to put in there? title WindowsXP rootnoverify (hd0,1) chainloader +1?
[11:22] <holycow> meaning they will never play by the rules and keep things sane, for example you will never be able to use apt and remove an automatix app
[11:22] <holycow> it will also do god knows what to your system config
[11:22] <visualnets> chinese ubuntu only support KDE?I am a gnome user
[11:22] <jenda> Is there a way to tell thunderbird to display images in an RSS feed?

[11:29] <lukem> hey all
[11:29] <Lane> Hey, ninja
[11:30] <lukem> how can I reinstall alsa or re configure it? my sound has gone weird, it crackles and is distorted, It is not my speakers, as it sounds fine in Windows. Any ideas?
[11:30] <|thunder-afk> i love man pages "Most users will want to use modprobe(8) instead, which is cleverer."
[11:32] <t-thing_> Hi. Can I make it so that when my laptop is on battery frequency scaling is active and when on the cord it's not active?
[11:33] <dsas> t-thing_: You could stop and start the "powernowd" program yourself....
[11:33] <dsas> t-thing_: I can't understand why you'd want to though :)
[11:33] <chops-> whats the command to allow telnet access ?
[11:33] <holycow> you can also install extra bits to let you choose th eprocessor speed or whether its automatically scaled
[11:34] <hush> hey guys - I'm trying to install Java. But in my Terminal window it is telling me to enter in a password.. and I enter my password and it still says Authentication failure..does it mean my Ubuntu login passoword?
[11:34] <nox-Hand> When I have two folders full of stuff I want to merge, but there are subfolders with same name (( like foo/test and /foo2/test )) without it first removing the one test folder. I mean, like, only duplicate FILES are removed, not the non-duplicate
[11:34] <nox-Hand> That probably didnt come out right..
[11:34] <|thunder> hush, do you have admin privs ?
[11:34] <dsas> chops-: You don't want telnet.
[11:34] <hush> |thunder: I'm not sure
[11:34] <dsas> chops-: If you want remove access, install openssh-server on the computer you want to access.
[11:35] <lukem> hmm
[11:35] <|thunder> is that the only user ?
[11:35] <SpComb> remote or remove?
[11:35] <hush> |thunder: how do i get admin privs
[11:35] <hush> yes
[11:35] <|thunder> the one you created with the setup ?
[11:35] <dsas> chops-: Then go to the terminal and type ssh loginname@computername
[11:35] <hush> yes
[11:35] <dsas> chops-: If you want to telnet to a computer type "telnet computername"
[11:35] <horrork> Is skype in Synatic?
[11:35] <holycow> chops-, we STRONGLY urge you not to use telnet
[11:36] <Flannel> !tell horrork about skype
[11:36] <holycow> infact that should never be installed, its very insecure
[11:36] <SpComb> telnet is deprecated for remote access
[11:36] <holycow> try to use ssh always
[11:36] <ookami> is there a way i can probe to see if my fans on my notebook are working? it seems they dont accelerate under load...
[11:36] <horrork> ?
[11:36] <SpComb> ssh is a great protocol
[11:36] <Flannel> horrork: check your PMs - ubotu sent you info
[11:36] <rixxon> telnet is no less secure than ftp or http; but noone complains about them :P
[11:36] <horrork> What about skype?
[11:36] <hush> |thunder: still there?
[11:36] <rixxon> (hint: use https and sftp/scp)
[11:36] <|thunder> hush, system/admin/users and groups. pick yourself and hit properties. then over to privileges. make sure admin taks is checked.
[11:36] <dsas> rixxon: You don't send your usernames and passwords over ftp and http do you?
[11:36] <holycow> rixxon, thats the dumbest thing anyone can possibly say
[11:36] <sai> hush: sudo apt-get install java
[11:36] <rixxon> dsas, depends on configuration.
[11:37] <t-thing_> dsas: You don't understand why I want frequency scaling based on the power source? Well, on the go I like to conserve energy for better uptime and the cord I don't like the sluggishness frequency scaling sometimes gives me.
[11:37] <holycow> ftp isn't used for administering system
[11:37] <sai> then type your password
[11:37] <dsas> rixxon: Like you just said, sftp and and https :)
[11:37] <rixxon> hollywoodstar, you can f* up a system pretty bad if you get root access to the ftp aswell.
[11:37] <Lattyware> Hey all, I want to convert video (ogm, mkv, avi) (with subs, It's anime) to DVD (for playing on a DVD player, not just burning the files to disk), any suggestions on what apps I could use?
[11:37] <tony_> Need help: usb pen worked fine till i tried an istall of DSL USB-HDD on it. Ok it didnt boot but that is not the case, now i cant detect it in ubuntu even!crazy huh? "lsusb" lists it on Bus 001 Device 002 - for mounting is that usb1 or usb2? jus want to format it!!
[11:37] <ookami> Does anyone know how to check a fan status on a notebook?
[11:38] <rixxon> hollywoodstar, my point was simply, that any protocol with authentication should be SSLd.
[11:38] <dsas> t-thing_: It shouldn't really give you any sluggishness. As far as I know stopping and starting the powernowd program is the only way to enable/disable frequency changing though.

[11:39] <edgy> Hi, how can I change the default encoding of squirrelmail to utf-8?
[11:40] <dsas> ossie: That will get you various applets for things like temperature, etc
[11:40] <holycow> joaquim, the most important thing you will find after a while here is freedom ... freedom to explore and learn as much or as little as you want.  no prepackaged assumptions :)
[11:40] <Lattyware> Hey all, I want to convert video (ogm, mkv, avi) (with subs, It's anime) to DVD (for playing on a DVD player, not just burning the files to disk), any suggestions on what apps I could use?
[11:40] <_cerberus_> For some reason my ip-up doesn't seem to be executing when I pon or at least one of the scripts isn't being executed, does anyone know why or where to look?
[11:40] <jdskate98> hi, my /boot is almost full
[11:40] <jdskate98> what do i do?
[11:40] <joaquim> I love ubuntu philosophy
[11:40] <|thunder> Lattyware, try ffmepg or mplayer for conversion. for composing dvd, i dunnp
[11:41] <|thunder> *dunno
[11:41] <ossie> dsas what is the name of the temperature applet?
[11:41] <t-thing_> dsas: Stopping and starting it could somehow be connected to acpi.. or something. It does give me that when the load rises suddenly and significantly. It seems to scale up with a small delay which does especially show in multimedia apps and sometimes even on firefox.
[11:41] <Lattyware> |thunder: Thanks, I'll check them out.
[11:41] <jdskate98> anyone know?
[11:41] <jdskate98> can i just remove older kernels?
[11:41] <dsas> ossie: scroll down to "system & hardware" then laptop temperature monitor
[11:41] <|thunder> yacc, but i dont know hiw
[11:42] <dsas> t-thing_: powernowd is the program that stops and starts the frequency scaling
[11:42] <chops-> holycow ssh is what i mean to open is there some setting that is blocking the access ?
[11:42] <ossie> dsas this aint a laptop and that laptop temperature monitor is not shown
[11:42] <holycow> chops-, no its jus tnot installed
[11:42] <holycow> chops-, install it
[11:42] <forbidden_fruit> What is this application? Some window manager? http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/63/Xgl_cube.png
[11:42] <jdskate98> Xgl
[11:42] <AstralJava> jdskate98: Sure you can, if you never boot them and newer ones are guaranteed to work.
[11:43] <jdskate98> AstralJava: uhm, it's weird
[11:43] <horrork> Ok, I got:  skype: Depends: libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.4-1) but it is not installable
[11:43] <horrork> So what do I do?
[11:43] <jdskate98> i just got Xgl and reinstalled nvidia kernel stuff
[11:43] <forbidden_fruit> jdskate98: what is it? a window manager? can i use in on ubuntu?
[11:43] <dsas> ossie: Have you got laptoptemp package installed?
[11:43] <jdskate98> forbidden_fruit: Xgl is a compositing version of X
[11:44] <SpComb> actually, ubuntu is a set of prepackaged assumptions, no?
[11:44] <chops-> holycow whats the commands to install the ssh
[11:44] <dsas> ossie: It says laptop, there's no reason why it won't work on a desktop too
[11:44] <ossie> no dsas will it work for desktop? what is it called so i can apt-get it?
[11:44] <tony_> dmesg gives me "usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -110" on my usb pen drive. it seems like ubunut tried to mount it- can i try it manually? is usb 1-2 = dev/usb1?
[11:44] <ossie> cheers dsas
[11:44] <dsas> ossie: "laptoptemp"
[11:44] <jdskate98> AstralJava: and uhh, it isntalled .25
[11:44] <jdskate98> even though i have .26
[11:44] <SpComb> you can choice which assumptions you want to use and there's somethings various choices
[11:44] <forbidden_fruit> jdskate98: can it be installed on ubuntu?
[11:44] <jdskate98> forbidden_fruit: google is your friend, but yes
[11:44] <holycow> chops-, system/admin/synaptic
[11:44] <DrFinn> Hello ! where can a find some Grub splash screens ?
[11:44] <horrork> I am trying to install Skype but I got:  skype: Depends: libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.4-1) but it is not installable
[11:44] <horrork> So what do I do?
[11:45] <forbidden_fruit> thanks jdskate98
[11:45] <jdskate98> sure
[11:45] <ese5> "checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error:
[11:46] <ese5> C compiler cannot create executables
[11:46] <ese5> what the heck?
[11:46] <jdskate98> AstralJava: ?
[11:46] <dsas> ese5: Do you have build-essential installed?
[11:46] <Flannel> ese5: you need build-essential
[11:46] <AstralJava> jdskate98: Err... which installed .25?
[11:46] <jdskate98> AstralJava: nvidia-kernel-common i believe, not sure
[11:47] <ese5> flannel:  umm..  :-D
[11:47] <jdskate98> wait no
[11:47] <AstralJava> jdskate98: Okay, but do you boot to .26? If so, does nvidia module work correctly?
[11:47] <Flannel> !tell ese5 about compile
[11:47] <jdskate98> AstralJava: 2.6.15-23
[11:47] <ese5> flannel:  that did it.. thanks
[11:48] <jdskate98> even though -25 exists
[11:48] <horrork> I am trying to install Skype but I got:  skype: Depends: libstdc++5 (>= 1:3.3.4-1) but it is not installable.... so how do I work around this?
[11:48] <jdskate98> as does -26
[11:48] <t-thing_> dsas: Yeah, I know. I could do it manually but I rather have it done automatically :)
[11:49] <AstralJava> (12:47:23) AstralJava: jdskate98: Okay, but do you boot to .26? If so, does nvidia module work correctly?
[11:51] <DrFinn> does anyone know some websites where I can find some grub splash screens?
[11:52] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> gnome-look and kde-look have "some"
[11:52] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> if you look hard enough
[11:52] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> im sure google has a bunch more
[11:52] <sai> horrork: add this to the repositories http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/
[11:53] <Nookie> hi! is there anywhere where i can get BIG posters or something like that to put in my computershop to show ubuntu for people!?
[11:53] <sai> horrork: also might have to add other extra repositories if not already done that
[11:53] <sai> a pitty that ubuntuguide.org is down atm
[11:54] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> Nookie: that's a damn good question

[11:55] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about ubuntuguide - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[11:55] <Tidus> Nookie: i'd just set up a demo machine with ubuntu on it to let people play with
[11:55] <ompaul> sai, I don't know what it is like now, but it used to have both out of date and innacurate info
[11:56] <Flannel> the wiki has everything ubuntuguide covered, and more.
[11:56] <Nookie> GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop: hehe yeah... but i think that it's very needed such stuff... i have already 2 computers running in my shop to show people =)
[11:56] <avis> it seems that aMSN, gaim, and kopete are incompatible with the latest windows vista live streaming/audio/video protocol.
[11:56] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> Oh ya I agree, it's good advertising
[11:57] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> I'd be all for something like that
[11:57] <GiGaHuRtZ|Laptop> I got my ten ubuntu stickers :D
[11:57] <Nookie> hehe yes
[11:57] <sai> i used to go there for help now and then, also a good place for starters like me, but if you say that wiki is better, then will try to stick with it in the future

[11:59] <jdskate98> avis: ?
[11:59] <avis> synaptic
[11:59] <jdskate98> you're dealing with a nubbie
[12:00] <avis> system - > administration - > synaptic
[12:00] <jdskate98> i know that part
[12:00] <jdskate98> search for the missing package, install it, then install the oddball original package.
[12:00] <avis> then do "find"
[12:00] <jdskate98> yes?
[12:00] <avis> look for gnome-terminal-data
[12:00] <avis> or from terminal learn this do a apt-cache search gnome-terminal-data
[12:00] <ossie> i was trying do this last night but it didnt work can anyone see whats wrong ln -s ($find -name *.mp3) /mnt/Music/$file
[12:01] <avis> and see what it says
[12:01] <jdskate98> uhm, it's trying to install ubuntu2, but i need ubuntu1 obviously
[12:01] <avis> what is ubuntu1 or ubuntu2 ?
[12:02] <manmadha> can any one tell how to install gmailfs??
[12:02] <jdskate98> did you read what i wrote???
[12:02] <jdskate98> gnome-terminal: Depends: gnome-terminal-data (= 2.14.2-0ubuntu1) but 2.14.2-0ubuntu2 is to be installed
[12:02] <avis> so why not install it ?
[12:02] <avis> thats the beauty of ubuntu
[12:02] <Andre4s> need to install the kernel headers, what is the name of the package?
[12:02] <paul_> hi, is there a way to manually download a .deb file for ubuntu dapper? (networking is down and I'd like to download some debs from my other pc)
[12:02] <avis> it resolves dependencies
[12:02] <jdskate98> avis: uhh no, that's not ubuntu
[12:02] <jdskate98> that's deb, from debian
[12:02] <avis> okieas
[12:02] <lastnode> Andre4s, linux-headers*
[12:02] <avis> same concept
[12:02] <KillerDemon> jdskate98 ubuntu is debian based
[12:03] <lastnode> Andre4s, apt-cache search linux-headers*
[12:03] <avis> yes
[12:03] <jdskate98> KillerDemon: i just said that
[12:03] <avis> but its still the beauty of ubuntu
[12:03] <jdskate98> and many package managers resolve dependencies
[12:03] <avis> we are legion.
[12:03] <avis> UBUNTU
[12:03] <jdskate98> if that's the only beauty of ubuntu, i feel sorry for it
[12:03] <manmadha> i have some problem with jabber......( i can't login into the gmail account.....)plz help me
[12:03] <avis> oh poo you all need some pina coladas
[12:03] <jdskate98> ubuntu's beauty is ease of use
[12:03] <avis> use ??
[12:03] <avis> installation ?
[12:04] <jdskate98> no, ease of USE
[12:04] <No1Viking> fglrxinfo is ok but screensaver is slow, what is wrong?
[12:04] <chops-> any reason i can't ssh into the box ?
[12:04] <jdskate98> anyway, forget it
[12:04] <jdskate98> i need ubuntu1
[12:04] <Flannel> chops-: you don't have ssh-server installed yet?
[12:04] <jdskate98> it has ubuntu2
[12:04] <jdskate98> no clue what to do now
[12:04] <chops-> yes i do
[12:04] <jdskate98> or how to install specific versions
[12:04] <avis> ease of installation.. ease of use.. an extensive database of hardware troubeshooting, people joining together to tweak its corners
[12:04] <chops-> i installed it from the area
[12:04] <Nookie> here is bug #1 in ubuntu.. very critical! https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+bug/1 =) hehe
[12:05] <chops-> synaptic says its in the "installed" section
[12:05] <avis> jdskate do you know what installed ubuntu1 ?
[12:05] <jdskate98> avis: did you ever use another distro?
[12:05] <Flannel> chops-: then you should be able to.  Assuming your network connections are all good and forwarded and stuff
[12:05] <avis> yes
[12:05] <jdskate98> what?
[12:05] <avis> but i have used every ubuntu since the first
[12:06] <jdskate98> i'm avoiding my problem for some reason
[12:06] <binks_> can someone help me with a svn error
[12:06] <avis> uh redhat fedora suse mandrake mandriva and thats about it
[12:06] <Nookie> jdskate98: i know that problem because i had before same problems... but i gave up then to install that application
[12:06] <jdskate98> avis: no wonder you idolize ubuntu
[12:06] <chops-> brb
[12:06] <avis> jdskate98, i am not the only one
[12:06] <binks_> make: *** No rule to make target `distclean'.   Arguing with others or fixing a dependency problem?
[12:07] <binks_> what should i do
[12:07] <jdskate98> t-thing_: deps
[12:07] <binks_> im trying to install tovid from svn
[12:07] <avis> its no wonder, you are correct, but its rather smooth the way its documented and the ease of installation and learning the basics of system management.
[12:07] <Flannel> binks_: ah, you'll need to ask tovid people then, as it's all tovid specific
[12:08] <binks_> cheers i think there still in bed lol
[12:08] <avis> i tried suse 10.0 hah !  i pity the fool that is myself.  back to ubuntu :)
[12:08] <t-thing_> jdskate98: so, what is the package you trying to install?
[12:08] <binks_> suse was ok but the epos are mad
[12:08] <binks_> repos
[12:08] <milamber> morning evereone,
[12:08] <binks_> morning
[12:08] <milamber> is there an option to add to grub that u r able to boot from cd-roms, after the boot manager ?
[12:09] <jdskate98> t-thing_: give me a minute, sorry
[12:09] <binks_> why would you boot from cd after grub
[12:09] <Peacer> omg
[12:09] <jdskate98> i installed Xgl, and ubuntu uninstalled ubuntu-desktop and gnome-terminal
[12:09] <Peacer> shutting down lvm volume group shouldn't take that long
[12:09] <jdskate98> for some brilliant reason
[12:10] <milamber> @binks, some cd-roms wont boot, whem grub is installed, grub starts to fast i think
[12:10] <Flannel> jdskate98: #ubuntu-xgl is the place for XGL related problems (as it's not supported by ubuntu yet)
[12:10] <jdskate98> no, it's not an xgl problem
[12:10] <jdskate98> xgl works perfectly fine
[12:10] <binks_> surely thats a bios problem
[12:11] <jdskate98> and now ubuntu-desktop depends on gnome-terminal
[12:11] <avis> jdskate98, i have XGL with gnome terminal and ubuntu-desktop.  though i did not install from command line.
[12:11] <t-thing_> jdskate98: it is xgl problem. It's installation screw it up by uninstalling ubuntu-desktop
[12:11] <Flannel> it's an XGL problem if XGL hosed the rest of your system
[12:11] <milamber> @binks i now, buth i remember hat suse had that option in the boot loader, and it solves many problems
[12:11] <t-thing_> jdskate98: and for some brilliant reason you accept it
[12:11] <jdskate98> Flannel: no, that's an ubuntu problem, an Xgl problem is with it working incorrectly
[12:11] <binks_> ok
[12:11] <jdskate98> t-thing_: i'm actually pretty sure it's not Xgl
[12:11] <avis> jdskate98, i'm all good with all those things
[12:12] <jdskate98> might be my repos are hosed
[12:12] <Flannel> jdskate98: no, XGL caused the problem, it's a problem with xgl.  Because it conflicted with whatever, which has now put your system in a poor state.
[12:12] <t-thing_> jdskate98: when was the last time you did apt-get update?
[12:12] <jdskate98> around uhh
[12:12] <jdskate98> 5 minutes ago
[12:12] <avis> i have the mighty cube of never ending happiness and gnome terminals every other workspace.  its uhm nifty.
[12:12] <milamber> in witch reps is webmin located ? cant find it in synaptic
[12:13] <Flannel> milamber: as of dapper it isn't in the repos
[12:13] <milamber> damn pitty flannel
[12:13] <t-thing_> jdskate98: but like everybody else has said, it's probably a broken xgl package which is a problem that should be taken to #ubuntu-xgl
[12:13] <jdskate98> what am i uninstalling then
[12:13] <t-thing_> jdskate98: uninstall the xgl / install ubuntu-desktop
[12:14] <Flannel> jdskate98: you'd have to ask in #ubuntu-xgl, we don't have any idea.
[12:14] <jdskate98> t-thing_: lmao
[12:14] <jankoxp> I love ubuntu :)
[12:14] <richiefrich> what repo is build-essentials in ?
[12:14] <Flannel> richiefrich: main
[12:14] <t-thing_> jdskate98: you have a weird sense of humor
[12:14] <Flannel> richiefrich: er, no 's'
[12:14] <avis> ubuntu best linux experience i ever had
[12:15] <avis> i am tempted to try new things but i know nothing will compare to it
[12:15] <avis> and i've ALWAYS been a Gnome man
[12:15] <richiefrich> Flannel ty
[12:15] <jdskate98> t-thing_: thank you
[12:15] <holycow> avis, *high five*
[12:15] <holycow> :)
[12:15] <avis> hehe danke
[12:15] <milamber> is there a grapical interface to configure grub ? maybe i'll find there the option to boot from cd-rom ..
[12:15] <holycow> avis, indeed, kudos to the ubuntu and debian teams
[12:15] <avis> yes
[12:15] <tony_> now i found my usb pen memstick device on /dev/sdb1 with fdisk -l and try to reformat as fat32 but i get System Linux. if i want to mount this with mount -t manually what file vfstype is "linux" ext2?
[12:15] <avis> om mani padme hum
[12:15] <Flannel> milamber: You change that in your BIOS
[12:16] <t-thing_> tony_: How are you trying to reformat it and if you are doing that then why are you mounting?
[12:17] <milamber> @flannel i now, buth  some of the cdroms ive have wont boot directly, grub is coming up before  the cdrom boots, and yes i'm shure that te cdrom boots it boots on my laptop
[12:17] <Flannel> milamber: you need to change your BIOS to boot to the CDRom before the harddrive
[12:17] <Windy> phew found it
[12:18] <milamber> @flannel, first boot device is cdrom, seccond is hard drive, buth on this system it wont boot from sertain cd roms
[12:18] <Windy> sorry to beg for help as my opening line, but can someone tell me how to set home directory back to something via a terminal session?
[12:18] <tony_> t-thing_, i install bootable dsl on my  usb pen, i coudnt mount i . i fount it as fat32 on fdisk so i thought i would format it. but it turned out as "linux" type. i dont mind having fat32 again but i cant figure that out in fdisk
[12:19] <avis> milamber, do you mean certain media or certain atapi devices because i'd think you'd have more media than cdroms ???
[12:19] <psiborg> Windy: we're here to help, so don't worry about that.
[12:19] <Windy> reliefage
[12:19] <Windy> well i pwned my first install of any linux in 30mins
[12:19] <Windy> that's gotta be a record.
[12:19] <tony_> t-thing_,  file type 16 is fat32 and even if i write "a 16" and thn "w" i get type linux
[12:19] <Flannel> Windy: eh, Thats ok.  Fresh installs mean no data loss ;)
[12:19] <psiborg> Windy: Sounds pretty good :)
[12:19] <Windy> went and set my home directory to something else so it won't let me log in
[12:19] <Windy> i'm still sitting in the Windows school of thought that says if dir no existy, me makes dir and keeps a swimming
[12:20] <milamber> 2avis, certain media, eg as floppy disks and cdroms , there is one drive installed and one hard disk
[12:20] <Windy> don't spose anyone can tell me some sorta terminal command that i can fix the problem with?
[12:20] <avis> ahh ok
[12:20] <t-thing_> tony_: "a" is toggle bootable flag in fdisk
[12:20] <psiborg> Windy: if you can get to a terminal then you are logged in..
[12:21] <psiborg> Windy: if you can get to the part that lets you enter commands anyway ;)
[12:21] <tony_> t-thing_, how do i give command for format to fat 32? i tried just "16" but i got the same result
[12:21] <Windy> psiborg: i can
[12:21] <Windy> but i can't log in to the normal, pretty GUI stuff
[12:21] <avis> tony_ i used gparted to create fat32 worked great
[12:21] <Peacer> hmm
[12:22] <Peacer> i have three partitions in Gparted
[12:22] <_gpg_> hi

[12:22] <tony_> avis,  ill give that a try!
[12:22] <Peacer> which of them is created by the live cd?
[12:22] <t-thing_> tony_: let me just ask that it the dsl didn't work? You cold take a look at mkfs.ext2 or gparted as others have mentioned
[12:22] <Peacer> which partition should i delete?
[12:22] <richiefrich> Flannel  --> configure: WARNING: *** GLIB >= 1.2.2 not installed - please install first ***  <-- do i just need to --> sudo apt-get instal glibc

[12:26] <tony_> avis, thanx, it is listed under /boot now. i guess caus i installed dsl on it. maybe i can remove bootable from it.
[12:26] <avis> yes
[12:26] <AstralJava> Windy: What's that?
[12:26] <avis> you can remove all disklabels  then apply. then add a disklabel and partition. apply.  then choose format.
[12:27] <Windy> AstralJava: i set my home directory or whatever to something else so it won't let me log on
[12:27] <Windy> i can get into a terminal session, that's about it

[12:27] <Windy> mm...hope i used the right jargon :(
[12:27] <AstralJava> Windy: Type `whoami`in terminal.
