 that start instaling from internet  (( i have not  a fast internet that why i prefer instal kde from cd
[02:50] <Cretep50> I have a Thinkpad R50e and Feisty has created weird video probs - the earlier versions did not.
 ok thanks..is new software added only on new ubuntu release ?
[02:51] <speaker219> anyone else here figured out ndiswrapper?
[02:51] <Cretep50> I have to reboot exactly three times to get Ubuntu to "recognize" the 1024 by 768 screen res.
[02:51] <Pelo> baghyay,  if you only have the ubuntu cd it does not have the kubuntu stuff on it , you'd have to download the kbubutu cd to do that, it will take lest time to install over the internet
[02:51] <Cretep50> it just goes round three times looking for the login and passoword.
[02:52] <kaboom2> Jordan_U: thank you for your help. i'm going to see if i can't use grub to boot into a command line
[02:52] <orbin> speaker219: figured out?
[02:52] <Cretep50> It's not that big a deal but you know, is frstrating. Why does it work the THIRD time around?
[02:52] <kaboom2> see you guys later on tonight :)
[02:52] <baghyay> okay thanks
[02:52] <Pelo> PocketIRC, if you had 3rd partie repos it will show in that screen,  I donT' know if new sofware is added between release , if some is it will show there
[02:52] <DocTrax> Flannel: ok i checked the logs
[02:53] <DocTrax> ubuntu is not so good for noobs
[02:53] <speaker219> ndiswrapper is starting to irritate me :(
[02:53] <kubuntu> Anyone have any idea how to recreate stage files for grub?
[02:53] <afie> Hey I have Beryl running but emerald doesn't run. When I open a terminal and run emerald I get this error: emerald: Could not acquire decoration manager selection on screen 0 display ":0.0"
[02:53] <afie> Help? =(
[02:53] <vicente> Gerro, are you here yet?
[02:53] <afie> Using Nvidia here.
[02:53] <Pelo> DocTrax,  it is the freindliest distro around
[02:53] <x3ro> Pelo... it worked in Mplayer... any clue how I can do that in VLC as well??
[02:53] <DocTrax> because aou cant say: dont work as root
[02:53] <Jordan_U> PocketIRC, As a general rule new software is not added between releases unless necessary, but there is a backports repo for some things
[02:53] <Pelo> afie,   in fiesty ,  menu > system > admin > restricted drivers
[02:54] <DocTrax> ^^
[02:54] <Pelo> x3ro, basicaly the same thing
 okok
[02:54] <dkkong> xane is absolutely useless
[02:54] <Cretep50> Well the reason I got interested in it is that Edgy "just worked." I downloaded th eimage, burned th eCD, ran it from the cd, installed it, and it recognized everything on the machine (Thinkpad R50) Feisty is less accomodating.
[02:54] <speaker219> ?
[02:54] <DocTrax> logging is a nice idea but it does not protect
[02:54] <Jinchurei> I followed these instructions to install ubuntu: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromWindows  I ran the install, it seemed to go fine, then it told me i had a base install and asked what else i'd like to install.  I selected ubuntu desktop and it started that.  That was about four hours ago, and its been at 18% for most of that time.  What do i do now?
[02:54] <Pelo> dkkong,  try looking up what you need in the forum  not everyone here knows every thinga bout ubuntu or linux
[02:54] <afie> Pelo, I already have those drivers working I already have Beryl running. My problem is with getting a decoration manager running.
[02:54] <Solidous> hey quick question with the latest ubuntu client can you have dual operation systems? My xp client just crashed and needs to be restored and it dawned on me to try this first
[02:55] <Jordan_U> Cretep50, What is it not recognizing?
[02:55] <Pelo> afie, ask in #beryl
[02:55] <afie> Pelo, Restricted Drivers panel doesn't work anyway I get a popup telling me I don't need restricted drivers which is not true
[02:55] <DocTrax> and also a user with sudo rights can delete the log
[02:55] <Pelo> afie,  you donT' need any of the restricted drivers it can provide,  not the same thing
[02:56] <DocTrax> this makes no sense
[02:56] <Cretep50> I don't know what it's not recognizing. What I see is that it loads to the login prompt. Wen I log in, it goes black, then reloads the login prompt screen
[02:56] <afie> mm 'k. Well I have Beryl running this shouldn't be a driver issue
[02:56] <Pelo> speaker219,  try searching for help in the forum
[02:56] <speaker219> ok guys
[02:56] <Joethealmighty> does anyone know how to stop that GRUB thing from starting?
[02:56] <Cretep50> It will do that twice before it actually loads the gnome desktop on the third round.
[02:56] <speaker219> GRUB is the boot loader.
[02:56] <Jordan_U> Solidous, You mean having Windows and Ubuntu on the same computer? If so then yes, it is called dual booting and it is set up automatically by the installer if you choose to keep windows
[02:56] <speaker219> why do you want to stop it?
[02:56] <Pelo> DocTrax,  just don'T give sudo rights to ppl you donT' want to have it
[02:56] <kubuntu> Anyone have any idea how to recreate stage files for grub?
[02:56] <KillHartma1> wow just spent the last hour trying to get rid of the blank screen after login
[02:56] <speaker219> Does anyone know how to make the partition in Wubi larger?
[02:56] <Pelo> Joethealmighty,  you need gru b
[02:57] <Joethealmighty> i have ubuntu installed on an external which i dont always have
[02:57] <killown> anyone can to teach me how I do to swtich icon main menu gnome-panel?
[02:57] <Pelo> speaker219,  use gparted,
[02:57] <speaker219> i mean in Wubi
[02:57] <KillHartma1> i need help getting my sound to work, it recognizes when i hot the mute button on my keyboard but has a muted icon all the time
[02:57] <Pelo> Joethealmighty,  you should have installed grub to the external hdd then,  try asking in #grub on how to fix that
[02:57] <Solidous> Yeah Jordan_U that is excatly what i mean. Should I go ubuntu first or Windows. I remember someone telling me windows won't support a dual operation system boot unless i keep some of the hard drive unpartitioned
[02:57] <Cretep50> Kill H you can try the session manager in the lower l corner ("OPtions') do th escripts option
[02:58] <Jordan_U> Pelo, Wubi is the installer that installs to an image on an NTFS partition
[02:58] <Joethealmighty> ok thanks
[02:58] <KillHartma1> yeah thats how i got iot to pop up and let me use my desktop
[02:58] <Pelo> KillHartma1,  try searching for you keyboard model in the forum
[02:58] <Pelo> Jordan_U, ok then
[02:58] <hendaus> back
[02:59] <killown> anyone can to teach me how I do to swtich icon main menu gnome-panel?
[02:59] <hendaus> Pelo:  when i open the hd i got this --> mount: can't find /dev/hdb1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
[02:59] <Pelo> killown,  check in the forum you can probably do it in   gconf-editor , but I donT knwo where in it
[02:59] <Jordan_U> Solidous, Install Windows first and leave unpartitioned space for Ubuntu ( Ubuntu can also resize the windows partition for space but why add another step :) then choose "use free space" from the Ubuntu installer.
[02:59] <KillHartma1> my keyboard works but the sound does not i get these errors; the colume control did not find any elements and/or devices to control. this means you dont have the right gstreamer plugins installed ect ect ect, and then no volume control GStreamer plugins and or devices found
[03:00] <navets> hey does anyone know how I can burn an iso and then how I can read an iso
[03:00] <orbisvicis> using acroread & getting the ppklite failed to initialize error: the links to libldap and liblber exist but i still get the error, any ideas?
[03:00] <Pelo> hendaus,  what is the text editor in kde ?
[03:00] <KillHartma1> i dont think its picking up my sound card
[03:00] <Solidous> ok cool thanks jordan_U. :)
[03:00] <Pelo> !sound > KillHartma1  check for a private msg from ubotu
[03:00] <hendaus> Pelo: kdesu
[03:00] <Jinchurei> I ran the netboot from windows instructions and it ran fine until the additional software, where i selected ubuntu desktop.  Its been hanging at 18% for three hours.  What do i do?
[03:01] <hendaus> Pelo:  kate
[03:01] <Pelo> hendaus,   kdesu kate /etc/fstab  ,   look for the line staring with /dev/hdb1    tell me what the mount point for it is
[03:01] <zZZed> how can i partition my hd _after_ installing the base-system feisty?
[03:01] <x3ro> thanks a lot pelo^^ just was to stupid to save my settings in VLC X_X
[03:02] <hendaus> Pelo:  i try it there is no hdb1????
[03:02] <KillHartma1> pelo; when i double click the sound icon it gives the following "no volume control GStreamer plugins and or devices found"
[03:02] <kubuntu> Hello does anyone know how to recreate stage files in grub?
[03:03] <Pelo> hendaus,  copy your fstab to the paste bin so I can see what it looks like
[03:03] <hendaus> ok
[03:03] <zZZed> how can i partition my hd _after_ installing the base-system feisty?
[03:03] <Pelo> KillHartma1, sounds like your sound card is not installed or selected or recognised
[03:03] <Cretep50> Jin, it has clearly stopped. When that happens I usually hit the power switch and try again.
[03:03] <Cretep50> Blunt approach, but works about 50% of the time.
[03:03] <Cretep50> anyone with a clue about weird video probs on login with Feisty?
[03:03] <Pelo> zZZed,  use the live cd
[03:03] <__mikem> What partition does the install cd put linux into by default if you have the cd resize the partitions for you?
[03:04] <zZZed> i just install studio
[03:04] <Jared_P> I'm installing Ubuntu, but it won't detect my Windows files/users. How do I make it do so? I had made a seperate partition for Linux.. if that counts.. but I found out there is a conversion thingy, but how do I use it?
[03:04] <Pelo> __mikem,  I donT' think the cd resizes automaticaly
[03:04] <hendaus> Pelo:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21772/
[03:05] <Pelo> zZZed,  ask in #ubuntu-studio then
[03:05] <__mikem> Pelo, it does if you use the alternate CD
[03:05] <kitche> Jared_P: there is no such thing as a conversion tool to convert users over to a linux install you have to manually backup the files and put them ont he linux
[03:05] <Pelo> __mikem,  use gparted to check the hdd partitons,  the first  ext3 should be it
[03:05] <kubuntu> does anyone know how to recreate stage files in grub?
[03:05] <Pelo> hendaus,  hold on
[03:05] <hendaus> Pelo:  ok
[03:06] <Jared_P> But when I am installing, there is a tool that comes up to convert from Windows to Ubtunu.
[03:06] <Jinchurei> assuming i have an ubuntu CD that i can boot a machine from, can i use that cd to reformat the drive, download an ubuntu iso, and install from the iso on the drive?
[03:06] <__mikem> Pelo, I can't go into gparted right now, I am trying to use the rescue cd and it is is asking me which partition to try to rescue
[03:06] <Pelo> hendaus,  can you do the same for mtab ?
[03:06] <r33ddl3r> KillHartma1, li'm actually having a similar issue w/sound.. one day it just stopped working.. ubuntu feisty :\
[03:06] <Jinchurei> The cdrom can boot but it won't install, it just crashes
[03:06] <hendaus> Pelo:  ok wait
[03:06] <Pelo> __mikem same answer   the first partition in ext3
[03:07] <__mikem> Pelo, I have 5 choices, /dev/sda1 thorugh /dev/sda5, which one of these corosponds with "the first partition in ext3"
[03:07] <navets> can anyone tell me what this means
[03:07] <wheels3572> who here knows what needs to load and what doesnt' needed to be loaded that does?
[03:07] <navets> dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/iso.iso
[03:07] <hendaus> Pelo:  http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21773/
[03:08] <Pelo> __mikem, try to list them one by one to see which format they are
[03:08] <nrdb> are any of the giam protocols voice ?
[03:08] <speaker219> anyone know how to resize home.virtual.disk for Wubi?
[03:08] <Jinchurei> assuming i have an ubuntu CD that i can boot a machine from, can i use that cd to reformat the drive, download an ubuntu iso, and install from the iso on the drive?
[03:08] <__mikem> Pelo, I can't I am in a recovery disk, no such listing options are available
[03:08] <KillHartma1> ok this guide say to click on sound but it keeps saying no device found to controll
[03:08] <__mikem> speaker219 that feature hasn't been implimented in wubi yet
[03:08] <OrTigaS> hi! how hard or easy to install Ubuntu in external HD with Window$ installed?
[03:08] <speaker219> _mikem
[03:09] <speaker219> theres a gudie somewhere that tells you how to do it
[03:09] <speaker219> but i get an error
[03:09] <__mikem> what does the error say?
[03:09] <Pelo> hendaus,  add this line to fstab    /dev/hdb1 /media/HDB ext3 defaults 0 2

[03:09] <fxfitz> I just bought an external hard drive but it seems like I can't put ANYTHING on it. Permissions must be wrong, but I can't even do anything to it as root. Can anyone help???
[03:09] <kubuntu> can someone help me with grub?
[03:09] <navets> !grub
[03:09] <ubotu> grub is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost grub after installing windows: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows - Making GRUB floppies & other GRUB howtos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto
[03:09] <smg_child17> bisa cara intal ubuntu 7.04 ga?
[03:09] <x3ro> @fxfitz: definitely mounted with the wrong options
[03:09] <Pelo> hendaus,  then  run this command in the terminal    sudo mkdir /media/HDB
[03:10] <__mikem> Pelo, again I have five choices, /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2 /dev/sda3 /dev/sda4 and /dev/sda5, which ones is the first partition in ext3 as you put it
[03:10] <Lounge> what's the story on "iceweasel being renamed  back to firefox" in ubuntu?
[03:10] <fxfitz> x3ro, I'm kind of new to linux. All I did was plug in the harddrive and it popped up on my desktop.
[03:10] <speaker219> hold on ill tell you what the error says
[03:10] <smg_child17> any1 from indonesia?
[03:10] <KillHartma1> any ideas on how to get to recognise my sound card?
[03:10] <kubuntu> fxfitz: Probably not formatted
[03:10] <hendaus> Pelo:
[03:10] <hendaus> ok
[03:10] <Pelo> __mikem,  ext3 is the files system   the information you are giving me does not contain any filesystem details
[03:10] <__mikem> Pelo, thats the only information I have available right now
[03:11] <fxfitz> kubuntu, But I can access files that were already on the harddrive when I bought it.
[03:11] <x3ro> yeah^^ or that x_X
[03:11] <Jinchurei> Will the Ubuntu livecd allow me to mount an ISO as a virtual drive?
[03:11] <Pelo> __mikem,  find a way to dislplay the files system information for the partitons
[03:11] <DM|> Ok anyone know what i can do about my clock/sys bar/trash can on my panel MOVING when they are locked right after a reboot....... help im so tired of having to unlock and move and lock again to where i want them
[03:11] <kubuntu> Jinchurei: Sure
[03:11] <pppoe_dude> how can i stop gnome from thumbnailing videos?
[03:11] <__mikem> Pelo, it is not posible to do this from the rescue cd
[03:11] <Pelo> pppoe_dude,  that would be a nautilus options,  open up  a nautilus windows   menu > edit > preferences  check in there
[03:11] <pppoe_dude> actually nm, i think there's a bug in nautilus
[03:12] <Jinchurei> Kubuntu - If i can do that, can i mount an ISO of the ubuntu install cd and run the install from that iso rather than my cdrom?  the cdrom is old and crappy and can't actually handle the install
[03:12] <pppoe_dude> where even if you specify a max file size it doesn't work
[03:12] <x3ro> @fxfitz: first go to your computer and unmount it (right click on it, then unmount)
[03:12] <Pelo> __mikem, I cannot help you then, the rescue cd must have anothe tool in it to give you this information,  even if it is one partition at a time
[03:12] <fxfitz> x3ro, Alright. Unmounted.
[03:12] <Jordan_U_> Jinchurei, Is it hanging at downloading packages or installing them?
[03:12] <Pelo> __mikem,   get out the rescue cd and boot up the live cd and check using gparted
[03:13] <vox754> Pelo, how can you not have any experience with wireless... that is so weird
[03:13] <Jinchurei> Jordan_U_ - It's hanging about thirty seconds after I click install, before it does anything i can see
[03:13] <Pelo> vox754, I have never used one,  I only work with desktop,
[03:13] <hendaus> Pelo:  and then
[03:13] <x3ro> @fxfitz: hold on a sec^^rl calling
[03:13] <fxfitz> Gotcha.
[03:13] <Pelo> vox754,  and I have never actualy owned a router either but I can probably forward a port in 99% of them blindfolded
[03:13] <kazol> Should I use ext2 or ext3 for a webserver (800Mhz, 256MB, 2x10GB Software RAID-1)?
[03:13] <KillHartma1> still nothing with sound, i try to bring up the options for sound but there is no device it says, how do i get it to recognize the sound card
[03:14] <Pelo> hendaus,  did you do terminal command to ?  sudo mkdir  /dev/hdb1 /media/HDB ?
[03:14] <hendaus> Pelo:  yes
[03:14] <Pelo> hendaus,  restart you system

[03:16] <Jordan_U_> Jinchurei, I don't know in what order the netinstall goes but if it has already installed the base system including grub then it is probably just chrooting in and using apt to install, if that is true ( and it may not be ) then it should not be catastrophic if you shut down now, reboot into the installed system and install ubuntu-desktop from apt
[03:16] <Pelo> navets,  man mkisofs

[03:31] <KiloHertz> KillHartma1, by looking at that. One your card is not installed. Or two your sound card is dead.

[03:31] <KillHartma1> im sure windows did they are pricks

[03:32] <KiloHertz> Yep in the end MICROSOFT is pricks :)

[03:34] <ubuntu-rocks> ironcladlou-i was only using 1 drive, neither or them was detected by the installation
[03:34] <Jordan_U_> n0n4m3, Because the LiveCD isn't perfect :) I have installed on comps that wouldn't boot the LiveCD and had X work afterwords :)
[03:34] <hendaus> Pelo: no
[03:35] <Pelo> nato70_,  we are wondering what your problem is
[03:35] <ironcladlou> ubuntu-rocks: the installer, gparted, fdisk all see them just fine
[03:35] <nato70_> Pelo, :)
[03:35] <Pelo> hendaus,  is the hdd mounted to your desktop ?
[03:35] <ironcladlou> ubuntu-rocks: but grub refuses to boot them
[03:35] <tim167> Pelo ah ok thanks, but there is no trash, still it wont eject...
[03:35] <imbecile> how do i change grub boot screens?

[03:37] <ironcladlou> ubuntu-rocks: i can't really check the menu.lst since he can't get in and can't seem to locate the mounted disk from the live cd
[03:37] <gluttony> how do i enable it
[03:37] <n0n4m3> gluttony it's more than one way... set password with sudo
[03:37] <bruenig> hendaus, put a new line at the end of /etc/fstab error is pretty clear on that
[03:37] <Jordan_U_> gluttony, You should just use sudo... but if you insist on enabling the root account then sudo passwd root
[03:37] <n0n4m3> open terminal and then... sudo bash
[03:37] <n0n4m3> enter your password
[03:37] <n0n4m3> and voila, ... you're now root
[03:37] <n0n4m3> passwd
[03:37] <Pelo> hendaus, ok  open up fstab , move the /dev/hdb1  line up before the cdrom lines ,  and make sure there is an empty line at the end of the file
[03:37] <tim167> Pelo, strangely it unmounts and then immediately remounts and gives message 'cannot eject medium'

[03:39] <Jordan_U_> imbecile, Do you mean adding an image to the background or changing the menu?
[03:39] <ironcladlou> ubuntu-rocks: doubtful. he just rebooted to screw with the hdd settings, he'll be back soon and we'll go from there
[03:39] <n0n4m3> Pelo yessir ;)
[03:39] <satsukew> So even though it shows the right series and everything in the wizard on the right port, it's not going ot work?
[03:39] <Jordan_U_> speaker219, recover in what way?
[03:39] <ironcladlou> ubuntu-rocks: messing with nix without a 2nd computer to surf the web is definitely risky business :)
[03:39] <KiloHertz>     speaker219, do you mean like if you type su and then it ask you for a root password. That?
[03:39] <speaker219> so i dont have to type sudo every time
[03:40] <Jordan_U_> speaker219, sudo -s
[03:40] <KiloHertz> speaker219, you would type sudo passwd root
[03:40] <ubuntu-rocks> ironcladlou-yup.  i recommend vmware for messing with os'es first or at least a new drive
[03:40] <n0n4m3> gluttony err... you could also write sudo passwd and then type in root password... that would be somewhat faster :)
[03:40] <KiloHertz> speaker219, then enter password for root, then you then can type su and login as root
[03:40] <hendaus> Pelo:  ok i edit the line down of the frist hda1

[03:45] <Gnurdux> and whats the wpa_something that's failing, also?
[03:45] <mobutu> window close
[03:45] <r691175002> what does sudo mean anyways?
[03:45] <Gnurdux> Alonea, thats an encryption thing, right?  its unencrypted

[03:45] <bruenig> r691175002, generally simplified as super user do, don't know how official that is
[03:46] <bruno_> list
[03:46] <dnite> does anyone know why my serpentine takes FOREVER to load tracks for burning?? After I select Add and then select a few trakcs, it generally takes at LEAST 30 seconds for each track to just be loaded into the list...
[03:46] <Pelo> DilfATX,  I think those sony players need their own app to re-encode everyfile to their own speical format,  maybe you can try running the software on wine
[03:46] <Jordan_U_> r691175002, Super user ( root ) DO ( run a command as root )
[03:46] <Alonea> Gnurdux: What are you using to connect with? I prefer Wireless Assistant (wlassistant).
[03:46] <r691175002> mm, so to install other programs not on the add/remove list, could I use something like "sudo apt-get install beryl"?
[03:46] <Healot> HUM??
[03:46] <DShepherd> this is more a linux question than a ubuntu question.. how do i kill someone xsession via that command line..?
[03:46] <KillHartman> hmm is it possible i need to download something like a driver perhaps to detect my sound card?
[03:46] <KiloHertz> Anyone here know how to configure WINE to play HALO Combat Evolved?
[03:47] <Pelo> dnite,  probablay check them for bitrate, error, etc
[03:47] <LittleJim68> A question I was not able to find in the forums;  I have lots of older ATA harddrives but want to install ubuntu/XP dual boot on my newer SATA drives.  Problem is I switch out ATA drives all the time and this changes the harddrive # in Grub.  Is there a way I can still dual boot?
[03:47] <Gnurdux> Alonea, well, i used the default gui tool thing, and also tried iwconfig
[03:47] <Jordan_U_> r691175002, Yes, exactly ( for a GUI you can also use synaptic ) :)
[03:47] <r691175002> wow thats cool
[03:47] <hendaus> Pelo:  thanx :) now it works :))
[03:47] <speaker219> after installing wine can i just run exe files?
[03:47] <r691175002> is there a list of names for applications or something somewhere?
[03:47] <killown> please help?
[03:47] <Jordan_U_> speaker219, Yes, but not all exe's will work
[03:47] <cables> speaker219, you should be able to, but sometimes you need to hit "Open With"
[03:47] <Pelo> KillHartman,   do you know your sound card model  ?  search for it in the forum to see if there are any known issues and fixes
[03:48] <DShepherd> r691175002, there's a list in synaptic .... system -- admin -- synaptic..
[03:48] <dnite> Pelo: it does it for pretty much every mp3 i try and load.. and cpu usage jumps to 100% for the entire time. at first I thought it was converting the tracks before it put them in the list.. but that step comes next after i hit the burn button.
[03:48] <Pelo> hendaus,  that will only work for now,  because we mounted manualy , we still dont, know if it will automount on your next startup
[03:48] <KillHartman> im not sure of the exact model, i will have to check, isnt ther a way through bios to check and see?
[03:48] <Alonea> Gnurdux: well, technically I am on Kubuntu. Not really familiar with the stuff on the gnome version, but you might try that app and see if it works better.
[03:48] <Jordan_U_> r691175002, You can search through packages with System -> Administration -> Synaptic package manager or use the command : apt-cache search < keyword >
[03:48] <Gnurdux> hmm
[03:48] <hendaus> Pelo:  cool
[03:48] <Gnurdux> i dont think its the app
[03:48] <Pelo> dnite,  like I said,  checking the files
[03:48] <r691175002> ah thanks
[03:49] <KiloHertz> Anyone here know how to configure WINE to play HALO Combat Evolved?
[03:49] <speaker219> ok i installed wine, and have an exe file, and when i double click no program is associated so i tried open with and Wine isnt on the list...what do i do?
[03:49] <Pelo> KiloHertz, ask in #wine
[03:49] <Pelo> KiloHertz, ask in #winehq
[03:49] <KiloHertz> Okay thx
[03:49] <dillona> no
[03:49] <dnite> Pelo,  it wouldnt be that big of a deal, but my computer run kinda hot and the 100% cpu locks 'er up sometimes.. x=\ i don't think it should take 30 seconds to a minute to check a single mp3 file for errors or whatever..
[03:49] <KiloHertz> speaker219, terminal wine name of .exe
[03:49] <dillona> its a gnome thing
[03:49] <Pelo> speaker219,   sudo apt-get install wine
[03:49] <Alonea> Gnurdux: well, on Kubuntu, KNetworkManager and NetworkManager are quite buggy and I could not connect at all with them. Got rid of both and now I am happy with Wireless Assistant, which is what I used anyway on Edgy
[03:49] <Gnurdux> hmm
[03:49] <speaker219> Pelo, I already installed wine...
[03:50] <dillona> its
[03:50] <Pelo> speaker219, then  terminal       wine /path/to/file.exe
[03:50] <KillHartman> is wine just as good as cedega? if i wanted to play a game that is would it work jsut as fine?
[03:50] <Jordan_U_> speaker219, right click and choose open with, enter the command "wine"
[03:50] <Pelo> KillHartman,  cedega is based on wine  but wine is free
[03:50] <Jordan_U_> speaker219, sorry, right click, properties, open with
[03:51] <speaker219> what kind of things can i expect to work with wine?

[03:53] <jrib> TOoSmOotH: works fine here, p5b deluxe
[03:53] <cables> speaker219, if you add the System Monitor applet to the panel, you can click it to get a process manager
[03:54] <joel_> is there a way to make ubuntu get mroe performance by useing moe ram? lol it doesnt eat any
[03:54] <LittleJim68> ok thanks Pelo.  I think I might have to retire my old ATA drives *bummer*

[03:54] <cables> joel_, adding more ram can help with speed
[03:54] <joel_> i got 2GB
[03:54] <cables> joel_, lol, that should be plenty
[03:54] <codename> Everytime I install my Nvidia Drivers, the login screen won't load up, any ideas?
[03:54] <joel_> the max ubuntu had used is 13%
[03:54] <cables> joel_, that's insane
[03:55] <Pelo> codename, chck in the forum for hat issue ,
[03:55] <dillona> @joel_ a
[03:55] <joel_> i want it to eat more ram and less cpu
[03:55] <joel_> :)
[03:55] <Joshooa> How can i make Ubuntu check a different spot for the 7.04 upgrade so I can upgrade?
[03:55] <cables> joel_, lol, the RAM doesn't do the same thing as the CPU :)
[03:55] <LittleJim68> THere is no excuse not to add ram nowdays.  2gig cost less then my first 1mb
[03:55] <r691175002> as far as I know, they arent interchangable
[03:55] <cables> !upgrade | Joshooa
[03:55] <Pelo> joel_,  I hardly use more then half of mine ,  such is linux
[03:55] <ubotu> Joshooa: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[03:55] <joel_> i know in xp i needed that much
[03:55] <dillona> xp is a memor hog
[03:55] <joel_> ubuntu ownz everything
[03:55] <ubuntu-rocks> can i restrict an app to not consume more than x amount of cpu usage?
[03:55] <joel_> and so does the low latency kernel
[03:56] <r691175002> just a question for the future, how good is ubuntu multi monitor support?
[03:56] <Pelo> ubuntu-rocks, I've asked and never got an answer
[03:56] <cables> r691175002, hard to set up...

[03:56] <cables> ubuntu, what?
[03:56] <r691175002> thanks
[03:56] <Pelo> r691175002,  you need to ask KiloHertz
[03:56] <r691175002> ok
[03:57] <Joshooa> cables: That doesn't tell my anything besides, hit the upgrade button.  That doesn't work.
[03:57] <Toma-> ubuntu-rocks: you can change its priority, which kind of does that
[03:57] <kevin__> joel_: turn down swappiness.. uses more ram but stops programs swapping out
[03:57] <KiloHertz> Hey r691175002, is this via two cards or one?
[03:57] <r691175002> two cards
[03:57] <cables> Joshooa, did you hit the Check for Updates button?
[03:57] <joel_> ya i already did that
[03:57] <joel_> swappiness is in 0
[03:57] <r691175002> I am hoping to eventually have 2 21" and 1 24" widescreen
[03:57] <Joshooa> cables: Yes, it starts the update but I get an error
[03:57] <ubuntu> what version are you all running/
[03:57] <KiloHertz> r691175002, nice okay come  to channel #multiubuntu
[03:57] <Joshooa> cables: 2 actually
[03:57] <cables> Joshooa, that's a problem on your end
[03:57] <joel_> can i put a negative number? lo
[03:57] <r691175002> ok thanks
[03:57] <Toma-> ubuntu: 7.04 is the most current
[03:57] <ubuntu-rocks> how can i schedule a cron job to kill an app but don't know the pid?
[03:58] <kevin__> heh.. nope
[03:58] <ethereality> can anyone help me unmount my external hard drive?
[03:58] <arro> Has anyone ever played a game called TREMULOUS?
[03:58] <Joshooa> Whenever I try to upgrade to 7.04, I get the error: "Failed to fetch http://givre.cabspace.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)"
[03:58] <Toma-> ubuntu-rocks: killall rather than kill
[03:58] <Pelo> ubuntu-rocks, just use the app's name
[03:58] <ubuntu> big difference bettween 7.04 and the 5 i am  running/
[03:58] <ubuntu> ?
[03:58] <arro> ethereality, Did you try right clicking?
[03:58] <cables> ubuntu, lol, HUGE difference
[03:58] <Toma-> ubuntu: more features, better support and newer apps
[03:58] <joel_> low latency kernel is cool didnt had to reinstall any driver
[03:58] <Pelo> ubuntu-rocks,  kill $(pgrep -f  appname)
[03:59] <ubuntu> my first time trying it out...
[03:59] <cables> ubuntu, WAY newer apps, WAY more features, and WAY easier to use
[03:59] <jrib> Pelo: know of "pkill"?
[03:59] <ethereality> arro: yes, would you like to hear my error message?
[03:59] <Joshooa> How do I fix this?
[03:59] <Joshooa> Whenever I try to upgrade to 7.04, I get the error: "Failed to fetch http://givre.cabspace.com/ubuntu/dists/edgy/main/binary-i386/Packages.bz2 Sub-process bzip2 returned an error code (2)"
[03:59] <arro> sure, ethereality
[03:59] <Joshooa> The other updates work, just not that one
[03:59] <ethereality> well, first, can i tell you the second thing i tried? maybe you can tell me why the terminal says this:
[03:59] <ethereality> daniel@daniel-laptop:~$ umount /media/My\ Book
[03:59] <ethereality> umount: /media/My Book is not in the fstab (and you are not root)
[03:59] <Pelo> jrib,  no sorry ,  I just used a line I found in the forum
[03:59] <ubuntu> thanks i was DL it and just dumped it,,, since i had the 5 ver i thought i would check it out live first
[04:00] <cables> Joshooa, you should delete the packages you've installed from 3rd party repos and remove those repos in System>Administration>Software Source
[04:00] <Toma-> Joshooa: thats an edgy repository, and you want feisty
[04:00] <LittleJim68> A question I was not able to find in the forums;  I have lots of older ATA harddrives but want to install ubuntu/XP dual boot on my newer SATA drives.  Problem is I switch out ATA drives all the time and this changes the harddrive # in Grub.  Is there a way I can still dual boot and switch out ATA drives all the time?
[04:00] <jrib> Pelo: just saves some typing
[04:00] <Joshooa> but it's what the upgrade tries to use
[04:00] <Pelo> jrib, I'll keep it in mind for futur references  for now you crontab command works well
[04:00] <joel_> does firefox got memory hog bugs?
[04:00] <cables> Joshooa, that's because you have a 3rd party repo
[04:00] <cables> joel_, yeah, but it doesn't matter with 2 gb of ram
[04:00] <ethereality> when i right-click > eject, the icon temporarily disappears, then return, says "Cannot eject volume", and then /media/My Book opens in the file browser
[04:01] <Pelo> joel_,  not anymore but it is a cpu hog
[04:01] <Toma-> joel_: not really, are you running alot of extensions?
[04:01] <joel_> no like it comes
[04:01] <joel_> by default
[04:01] <bulmer> LittleJim68: look into udev
[04:01] <womble> Would it be reasonable to assume that someone knows about packages.ubuntu.com being down for (at least) about the past 3 hours?
[04:01] <LittleJim68> bulmer: udev??
[04:01] <Pelo> womble, not realy
[04:01] <joel_> cuz sometimes it acts weird
[04:02] <Toma-> joel_: try looking into galeon, swiftfox and iceweasel as theyre all great replacements
[04:02] <bulmer> LittleJim68: yes..google for the details
[04:02] <LittleJim68> ok will do...AFK
[04:02] <joel_> dont like swiftfox cuz it misses some codecs and or plugins
[04:02] <joel_> hadnt tryed iceweasel
[04:02] <ubuntu> thanks for the info
[04:02] <ubuntu> peace out
[04:02] <womble> OK, well, packages.ubuntu.com has been down for (at least) the past three hours... <grin>
[04:02] <arro> ethereality, I'm sorry, I never ran into that problem.  I can only help people with very simple problems, like not knowing to right click and press eject :(
[04:02] <ethereality> oh.
[04:03] <ethereality> :(
[04:03] <ethereality> there was a user here named ubuntu??
[04:03] <Pelo> womble,  stop making wild incredible histerical claims  , you'll start a panick :-)
[04:03] <ethereality> how do you find out where a partition is mounted?
[04:03] <Pelo> ethereality, open up gparted
[04:03] <ethereality> where is that?
[04:04] <Pelo> ethercle1r,  or  open the system monitor,  last tab
[04:04] <kevin__> ethereality: just type mount in a terminal
[04:04] <Pelo> ethereality,  or  open the system monitor,  last tab
[04:04] <ethereality> where is the system monitor?
[04:04] <Pelo> menu > syustem > admin
[04:04] <joel_> i heard ubuntu doesnt slowdown cuz of installed or runned programs
[04:05] <Pelo> joel_,  within limits
[04:05] <joel_> but why everything is smooth and quick i open some programs and it sometimes lags but i close them and still lag?
[04:05] <nokor> where is the boot log file?
[04:05] <Pelo> nokor,  probably in /var/log
[04:06] <nokor> thanks, let me check
[04:06] <kevin__> /var/log/boot
[04:06] <ethereality> my external hard drive does not appear in gparted.
[04:06] <ethereality> (which, for some reason, was not already installed. i had to install it.)
[04:06] <joel_> ubuntu is great the only thing that keeps me with a partition with windows xp bone edition is im graphic designer
[04:06] <TiM2> hello!
[04:07] <Pelo> ethereality, gparted is not part of the default install, it is assumed you've done all the partitionning you needed during installition
[04:07] <ethereality> oh, okay, good.
[04:07] <ethereality> (thanks)
[04:07] <joel_> oh and the printer, the only driver i found that works isnt free
[04:07] <cein> Pelo: wha?
[04:07] <Pelo> joel_, and I'm an industrial designer and I have the same issue
[04:07] <Pelo> cein,  what what ?
[04:07] <cein> "gparted is not part of the default install"
[04:08] <cein> are you referring to ubuntu?
[04:08] <ethereality> why did it mount my external hard drive as "/dev/sdb1" yesterday, but today it's mounted as "/dev/sdc1"?
[04:08] <joel_> if photoshop worked in ubuntu like it does on osx
[04:08] <TiM2> I'm looking to install eMule... I remember the package was right there in the main repository last version
[04:08] <Flannel> cein: he means it's notinstalled by default.  You're welcome to install it after the install.
[04:08] <joel_> and dreamweaver and all those tools
[04:08] <TiM2> anybody know a repository or how i could get eMule?
[04:08] <Pelo> cien yes, once you have installed ubuntu to your hdd gparted is not installed,  it is part of the live cd but it desnT, get installed to your hdd
[04:08] <kevin__> etherreality, no idea.. random
[04:08] <craigbass1976> Anyone get glest or boswar to install with apt?  Is there a repo I need to set up?
[04:09] <imbecile> hey guys, I am trying to add a image to my grub boot screen specifically this one.. i have followed instructions to no avail.. help please!!!
[04:09] <craigbass1976> TiM2, get amule
[04:09] <elnimr> how can i know if the dvd-writer i have is a RW
[04:09] <elnimr> ?
[04:09] <cein> but there is a graphical partition manager installed by default, no?
[04:09] <imbecile> hey guys, I am trying to add a image to my grub boot screen specifically this one.. http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Grub+Image%3A+Freedom%3DLinux%2Bgnu2?content=35703 i have followed instructions to no avail.. help please!!!
[04:09] <ethereality> is there a way i can get it to mount as "/dev/extdrive" every time or something?
[04:09] <cein> there definitely was in edgy!
[04:09] <Alan_> I have 6.06.1 LTS "Dapper Drake" and a Zydas zd1211 based USB wifi stick - I'm able to modprove -v zd1211 and can see that the module get's loaded
[04:09] <craigbass1976> elnimr, it says on the front of the drive
[04:09] <ethereality> cein: apparently not; i had to install gparted
[04:09] <Alan_> But no wlan0 gets created
[04:09] <cein> say what?
[04:09] <joel_> if it is RW i shall say it on the front of it
[04:09] <cein> i remember now
[04:09] <TiM2> thanks, but I don't want aMule... I'm using eMule on Windows and my incoming folder is on my Fat32 drive.
[04:09] <joel_> if it doesnt then is not
[04:09] <Pelo> imbecile,  check other grub wallpaper in gnomelook  some of the pages have instructiosn in them
[04:09] <cein> it's installed on the live cd, but it doesn't actually get installed on the... install
[04:09] <TiM2> I want to be able to continue my downloads on both OSs
[04:10] <craigbass1976> TiM2, you can mount up the fat drive in ubuntu.  Can't you just tell amule to save to that?
[04:10] <elnimr> well it says dvd-multi recorder ,rw dvd+r DL , compact disc ReWritable
[04:10] <ethereality> oh well; i'll worry about fixing the arbitrary mounting tomorrow. goodnight!
[04:10] <Pelo> g,night ethereality
[04:10] <craigbass1976> elnimr, looks liek it's a dvd-r then
[04:10] <imbecile> Pelo:  that one has instructions.. tried then rebooted with no image present
[04:11] <elnimr> craigbass1967 : u mean dvd+r
[04:11] <TiM2> aMule, atleast the current version, runs into fatal errors trying to load the downloads in progress (that we started from Windows)
[04:11] <kevin__> imbecile, the image needs to be 800x600 using < 15 indexed colors, and should be a gzipped xpm
[04:11] <TiM2> I know aMule originally is (atleast partly) a port of eMule
[04:11] <Pelo> imbecile,  did you put the image in the correct folder ?  did you edit the (hd0,0) in the menu.lst line to reflect the correct partiton to find the image on ?
[04:11] <TiM2> perhaps just an older version of aMule would work...
[04:12] <Pelo> imbecile,  did you unpack the image ? ( you're not suppose to)
[04:12] <joel_> any feisty performance tips?, maybe to make it more responsive
[04:12] <shawn34> is there anyway to get /join and part messages to post in the server window and not the channel?

[04:16] <jarrod> okay how do you install a program after you install the packages
[04:16] <womble> Enroot: Your tutorial needs a lot more detail.  I'd go and talk to the person who wrote the tutorial and ask them what protocol you're supposed to use to upload.
[04:16] <elnimr> ok, what about discs ,how can i know if the dvd discs i have are reWritable

[04:18] <newbie> it does not work
[04:18] <Pelo> imbeciel then in that menu..lst  the line you added for the image  replace (hd0,0) for  (hd0,2)
[04:18] <rollerskatejamms> And what's the "group-" file

[04:19] <Pelo> Cface,  did you follow the instructions ?
[04:19] <craigbass1976> moDumass, then you have to make it executable by others too
[04:19] <lucidblue> craigbass1976: yah, I'm trying out zimbra, but the how-to mentions setting up the mx record first and it doesn't say where... has to do with dns stuff too I think
[04:19] <Pelo> jarrod, what did you install ?
[04:19] <jarrod>  3ddesktop
[04:19] <craigbass1976> lucidblue, right.  BIND.  Good luck
[04:19] <Alan_> Flannel - Understood - I'll give that a shot
[04:19] <moDumass> hmm, how would i do that?

[04:20] <newbie> hi - anyone knows how to add www-data to a user group ?

[04:21] <Pelo> matt____,  if I could I would ban you
[04:21] <lucidblue> craigbass1976: "So if you use BIND on the authoritative name server for example.com, you should have something like this in example.com's zone file:" ?? where's the 'zone file'?

[04:22] <killown> gusty is the new version of ubuntu?
[04:22] <womble> fiveiron: It depends on the type of phone you've got.  (Don't ask me for more info, my phone is only just capable of making a call, let alone taling to a PC).  But more details might get you more useful info from someone else.
[04:22] <Flannel> newbie: users and groups is the place to do it.  And if there's no user www-data there, then it doesn't exist on your machine.
[04:22] <Alan_> I have 6.06.1 LTS "Dapper Drake" and a Zydas zd1211 based USB wifi stick - I'm able to modprove -v zd1211 and can see that the module get's loaded but no wlan0 is created - Do I need to create this manually?
[04:22] <Alan_> modprobe
[04:22] <craigbass1976> lucidblue, you have ot have bind set up.  I believe apt-get install bind9 will do it, but configuring can be a bear
[04:22] <Flannel> killown: gutsy will be 7.10, 7.04 is the current version
[04:22] <matt____> a
[04:22] <rollerskatejamms> Does anybody know what the file "/etc/group-" is for. NOT /etc/group
[04:23] <Toma-> Whats that silly command to see what real devices the UUID is?

[04:24] <nixternal> never to late, but I am guessing that ip can be easily changed
[04:24] <squared> this is about as easy to use as ubuntu
[04:24] <Flannel> ubuntu: theres a few.  Type "sensible-browser" and one will start, regardless of what you have installed
[04:24] <Striking7> ubuntu: pine
[04:24] <bruenig> damn alternatives
[04:24] <jrib> Flannel: good point, I thought he was pasting a log for some reason
[04:24] <newbie> Flannel: when you install LAMP , user www-data was created by system automatically, but it does not appear in user/groups
[04:25] <Striking7> ubuntu: I mean, pine for e-mail, lynx or links for web browsing
[04:25] <vbabiy> is there a tool for linux that you can right click on a image and resize it
[04:25] <vbabiy> to like 640x480
[04:25] <ubuntu> thanks
[04:25] <Striking7> ubuntu: no problem.
[04:25] <jrib> ubuntu: w3m, lynx, links
[04:25] <Flannel> newbie: users and groups uses the same methods as any other system thing.  It doesn't keep it's own database.  I know www-data exists, but it will alo be in users and groups if you've installed a GUI
[04:25] <jarrod> anyone know why desktop effect wouldn't work?
[04:25] <bruenig> jarrod, #ubuntu-effects
[04:26] <ubuntu> im trying to get used to running in the terminal. how do i leave an apt to go back the terminal to issue commands?
[04:26] <Enroot> newbie if want to change who owns what then just use the command chown
[04:26] <Flannel> newbie: however, we can do it from a command line as well.  You want to add thewww-data user to some other group? right?
[04:26] <jarrod> bruenig, ;(
[04:26] <Pelo> jarrod, remove 3d desktop that's a old thing and you dont, need it,  then ask in #ubuntu-effects for the rest

[04:26] <newbie> Flannel: there is no such user or group called "www-data", but in file group, there is a group/user called "www-data"
[04:26] <jarrod> okay thanks pelo
[04:26] <bruenig> Comrade-Sergei, I am sure your sister can figure it out
[04:26] <Enroot> but be careful for changing ownership can screw the whole OS over
[04:26] <Comrade-Sergei> bruenig wyf?
[04:26] <newbie> Flannel: yes,  please show me the command line instead
[04:27] <Striking7> ubuntu: did you know you have lots of terminals available? If you hit alt+f1 through alt+f6 you can  have a different terminal in each
[04:27] <Flannel> newbie: type "groups www-data"
[04:27] <Flannel> newbie: that'll list the groups the www-data is currently in, and also verify that it exists
[04:27] <santos> hi everybody
[04:27] <Striking7> ubuntu: in addition, if you want to run a command (like apt) in the background, run it with & after it.  Like, apt-get install amarok &
[04:27] <newbie> Flannel: it says : www-data : www-data
[04:27] <santos> anybody can tell me how can I know the space of my partition in Ubuntu?
[04:27] <Striking7> ubuntu: that will make it run in the background.
[04:27] <jrib> santos: df -h
[04:28] <Flannel> newbie: right.  So www-data does exist as a user.  So, we want to add it to which group?
[04:28] <ubuntu> very funny
[04:28] <Striking7> ubuntu: What is funny?
[04:28] <Flannel> ubuntu: no, it really will.

[04:29] <shawn34> how can i associate irc:// links with firefox/xchat ?
[04:29] <Striking7> ubuntu: when you're in a graphical desktop, you have to use "Control+Alt+f1" through f6.
[04:29] <santos> jrib, thanks, and can i see with graphic interface
[04:29] <Striking7> ubuntu: I should have asked first: my bad.
[04:29] <ubuntu> no, im in gui terminall. some reason terminal mode wont let me istall aps
[04:29] <Raptor45> Pelo, nope... all I think I've done extra is isntall ubuntu-restricted-extras and pidgin mostly
[04:29] <bruenig> shawn34, in firefox when I clicked on such a link it had some dialog about an external application and I just said yes or ok or whatever it was
[04:30] <Striking7> ubuntu: to install apps from the terminal, are you typing "sudo apt-get install <appname>"?
[04:30] <shawn34> bruenig, i don't get that option, just a message saying there is no association with that type of link
[04:30] <Pelo> Raptor45,  what is your video card and how much video memoery do you have ?
[04:30] <Striking7> ubuntu: before you try the "control+alt+f1" thing...
[04:30] <bruenig> shawn34, perhaps go to edit>preferences and see if you can set the filetype
[04:30] <Raptor45> Pelo, it's a laptop.. soooo let me see

[04:31] <shawn34> bruenig, nothing
[04:31] <Striking7> ubuntu: and the command you're running?
[04:31] <Flannel> newbie: who cares about what the GUI says?
[04:31] <simplylezz> hi... what isthe ubuntu/linux equivalent of the Windows default program install directory (C:\Program Files)?
[04:32] <newbie> Flannel: ok, so it is all right now ?
[04:32] <bruenig> simplylezz, /usr I guess. They aren't the same. Linux puts stuff in a bunch of places.
[04:32] <Flannel> newbie: type "groups www-data" and find out
[04:32] <TakeOut{u}> /bin /usr/sbin
[04:32] <Cface> How do i use modprobe to find out what sound card i have?
[04:32] <Flannel> simplylezz: there's a few.  Also, linux "installs" programs differently, binaries go one place, config another, and so on
[04:32] <Pelo> Raptor45, i would investigate that route,  look up your card model in the forum for any posts that may help, also , ubuntu(gnome) as an option in men > system > admin > restricted drivers ,  see if you have similar in xubuntu and see if it finds any drivers you need to install
[04:32] <simplylezz> ah, ok
[04:32] <ubuntu> Striking7, sudo apt-get install irssi
[04:32] <newbie> Flannel: www-data : www-data ben

[04:33] <Flannel> newbie: yep.
[04:33] <shawn34> how can i associate irc:// links with firefox/xchat ?
[04:33] <Raptor45> Pelo, worked OK in feisty, but idk what driver it was using
[04:33] <Pelo> Raptor45,  you pick looks to me like the image is not being properly refreshed because of a lack of video memory
[04:33] <kevin__> simplylezz, its kinda different.. applications install into several dirs under /usr.. but i suppose /usr/share is probably the closest thing
[04:33] <Striking7> ubuntu: I'll private message you. It'll be easier than wading through all these messages.
[04:34] <Pelo> Raptor45, what are you using now ?
[04:34] <Raptor45> Pelo, I mean worked ok in ubuntu.... this is ONLY happening with certain programs though
[04:34] <Pelo> Raptor45,  I mean if you are not using fiesty ?

[04:34] <Pelo> Raptor45, that was my best shot, check the forum for your card model
[04:35] <Pelo> imbecile,  yes  try it
[04:35] <Striking7> ubuntu: Oh.  I don't know irssi at all: I just use GAIM to get on IRC
[04:35] <Raptor45> Pelo, dang... okay
[04:35] <elnimr> how can i use sudo for the GUI

[04:43] <killown> jrib object_1 corresponds

[04:43] <Falstius> this machine was dapper, updated to edgy through the update-manager.
[04:43] <Pelo> !upgrade | Falstius
[04:43] <ubotu> Falstius: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[04:44] <Pelo> Falstius, consider seting up your /home folder on a seperate partition and installig feisty from scratch,  upgrades never work well for me ( and I am not the only one)
[04:44] <Pelo> imbecile,  are you still around ?
[04:45] <dgux> Hi all, has anyone had problems with a slow wifi problem on feisty?
[04:45] <darklard> so if anyone knows a lot about sound for Feisty and is willing to help let me know I have gone through EVERYthing the bot can offer aswell as many other forums... I have downloaded and compiled to kernel the latest alsa drivers.

[04:46] <killown> jrib, menu bar
[04:46] <Pelo> imbecile, ok hold on

[04:48] <killown> thanks a lot
[04:48] <rtan> anybody has tried virtual machine on ubuntu?
[04:49] <Fezzler> When I change the group or permission for a folder nested three deep, (etc/sbm/usr1) do the permissions automatically extend through the first two folders?
[04:49] <rtan> what is the application for virtual machine in ubuntu?
[04:49] <Striking7> tarelerulz: should work great for that.
[04:49] <gortba> Hi. Can someone tell if it is possible to copy the whole root directory / and then paste it back in after reinstalling a system?
[04:49] <ablyss> rtan, i use vmware a lot
[04:49] <linuxacolyspe> rtan, a friend of mine at work has VMware running, kinda cool. :-)
[04:49] <CapaH> Hi all, I am trying to get StarCraft to run in Ubuntu under Wine. I have it running, but I cannot get it full screen -- just a 640x window --- any suggestions?
[04:49] <Pokit> is it possible to play flash in x64 ?
[04:49] <kevin__> rtan, i used virtualbox and it runs fine, but there is a problem with fullscreen and compiz(desktop effects)
[04:49] <dgux> Booting into windows my wifi is fast and works properly; in feisty wifi works but it's so slow that it can't be used.  has anyone else seen similar behavior?
[04:50] <jrib> bubux: because that's not a path...
[04:50] <tarelerulz> Strking7, In windows I have to make my ip static on my lan connection and I am wondering how to do that in linux?
[04:50] <rtan> kevin_: where did you get virtualbox? does it come with ubuntu distro?
[04:50] <jrib> bubux: create a shell script instead if you want
[04:50] <bubux> jrib: how can i create a symbolic link to php4 and automatically pass parameters to it?
[04:50] <Pokit> Is it possible to play embedded flash in a browser with 64-bit ubuntu?
[04:50] <darklard> pokit NO

[04:51] <darklard> yeah sucks

[04:51] <kevin__> rtan, you can download a ubuntu deb from here: http://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Downloads
[04:51] <rtan> ablyss: can u use non linux os on vmware:
[04:51] <Pokit> jrdib, darklard, thx
[04:51] <Pokit> *jrib, thx
[04:51] <Falstius> Pelo: this machine is just a media terminal for the TV, there's nothing in the home directory aside from temp files.  But the problem was that I didn't have 'recommended updates' checked so the update-manager was an older version.  Thanks.
[04:51] <jrib> Pokit: (or compile nspluginwrapper yourself (or use a 32bit chroot (see wiki)))
[04:51] <gortba> Can someone tell if it is possible to copy the whole root directory / and then paste it back in after reinstalling a system?
[04:52] <bulmer> vmare supports windows as guest os
[04:52] <RAOF> gortba: Yes, that's possible.  But you won't be doing much of a reinstall, since *everything* is stored on /
[04:52] <bulmer> gortba it is possible, but not guaranteed to work afterwards
[04:52] <CpuID2> hey, is there a way i can have apt/synaptics revert a packages included config files to default? eg. if ive modified them manually and i wanna go back to the included defaults
[04:52] <Pelo> gortba, that would defeat the purpose of resintalling since it would overwrite all your nice new fresh files
[04:52] <ablyss> rtan, vmware supports a lot of todays OS's granted your cpu is supported.. cyrix chip sets aren't supported that great
[04:52] <rtan> kevin__: thanks , i am downloading it now.
[04:52] <CpuID2> cyrix is nasty :s
[04:53] <kevin__> rtan, np
[04:53] <gortba> Thanks RAOF and bulmer. Reason is because I want to move my whole operating system to a new hard drive
[04:53] <cheeseboy> how do i delete all mysql tables?
[04:53] <r2d4> Oh nevermind. I found that Netmeter works great on Wine. But would be nicer to have a native alternative.
[04:53] <shdowhawk> hey all.  Just wondering ... i did an apt-get on php5, apache 2.. and the libapache2-mod-php5 ... i restarted the apache2 server, rebooted etc... i can't get the php to render actual php.. it shows the <? phpinfo(); ?> text instead of dump.  Any ideas how to get by this?
[04:53] <ablyss> nasty huh , lol
[04:53] <joe4444> what's a good torrent client similar to uTorrent?
[04:53] <RAOF> gortba: Then just copy / to the new hard-drive..
[04:53] <CpuID2> shdowhawk, sounds like you need an AddType somewhere in your apache configs, not sure if thats added by default, it might
[04:53] <RAOF> gortba: And do the grub reinstal thingy (I'm not quite sure how).
[04:54] <jrib> !php > shdowhawk (see the private message from ubotu)
[04:54] <gortba> RAOF: There's no operating system on that hard drive right now.
[04:54] <bulmer> gortba: why not just install the os and have a separate partition for your data
[04:54] <progek> hey room, has anyone here created jar files manually? I'm trying to make a jar compatible with java5, being compiled in java6. (An executable jar)
[04:54] <kevin__> joe4444, azureus is ok, havent found anythin as good as uTorrent tho
[04:54] <rollerskatejamms> Can somebody explain to me why adding somebody to /etc/group doesn't have any effect?
[04:54] <RAOF> gortba: You can't plug the hard-drive in and copy across?
[04:54] <zkr> somebody knows how restart the dhcp connection in console mode?
[04:54] <joe4444> kevin__, so you think azureus is the best for linux?
[04:54] <psusi> rollerskatejamms: depends on what you mean by doesn't have any effect
[04:54] <bulmer> rollerskatejamms: what were you expecting to happen?
[04:54] <ablyss> rollerskatejamms, you might want to try adduser command
[04:55] <gortba> RAOF: If I just copy across then I'll have an exact copy--is that right?
[04:55] <kevin__> joe4444, yeah, i think so, KTorrent is ok too
[04:55] <CapaH> Anyone here know what to do in order to get StarCraft under wine to run full screen? I can get it to run but only as a 640x window
[04:55] <bulmer> zkr maybe you can do a ps -aux|grep dhcp  and  see how it got started and then type same on a console after stopping it first
[04:56] <shdowhawk> CpuID2: Ahh.. crap, i think i know where i went wrong.  I probably commented to many of the types out lol.  Good call, i forgot i did that.  thanks for the tip

[04:59] <CapaH> ablyss: no such channel - or might as well not be (empty) :)
[04:59] <ablyss> ;p, okay

[05:00] <linuxacolyspe> vbabiy: I have one of those gainward FX Powerpack deals, it wouldn't run Beryl
[05:00] <vbabiy> Falstius: i also am doing dual monitor should that mess anything up?
[05:00] <ablyss> yes tvtime works fine here
[05:00] <kevin__> vbabiy.. you'll probably need the restricted driver... u on feisty?
[05:00] <vbabiy> kevin__: yea and i have that installed
[05:00] <Falstius> vbabiy: beryl has some configuration options for dualies, but I don't have a second LCD to play with it :(
[05:00] <TeeO> when I go to launch it, it opens then immediately crashes
[05:00] <linuxacolyspe> Compiz runs on it though
[05:00] <kevin__> should run fine then
[05:01] <vbabiy> Falstius: i will give it a try and i will let you know how i turn out
[05:01] <ablyss> TeeO, open a Terminal and run it from there and see what the error is

[05:02] <Lilacor> nub: I think you need to find out what chipset the usb adapter uses and then see if that is spported or not.
[05:02] <linuxacolyspe> Falstius: When I get some good vids I'll give it a try. ;-)

[05:11] <hendrixski> is it possible to save a webpage as a pdf from firefox?
[05:11] <Yo> Thanks.
[05:11] <pnorris> i installed ubuntu this afternoon and just wondering how to install themes that i have downloaded...any help?
[05:11] <hendrixski> because I have a tablet, and I can annotate PDF's
[05:11] <hendrixski> but I can't turn my webpages to pdfs
[05:12] <mobutu> hendrixski: I've never heard of such a thing, but you could figure out how to 'print to PDF'
[05:12] <hitmanWilly> hendrixski: i don't believe so, but you can save the html and transfer it over to pdf through open office iirc
[05:12] <Frogzoo> what's the low latency kernel? is this something that would make a lappie more responsive ?
[05:12] <mobutu> he could print to PDF
[05:12] <jrod> no body in this chanel has any idea about my wine issue?
[05:12] <Pelo> kschreyack,  downlowd the versions you want form the archive section in the ubuntu dload page in the winehq site,  and remove the 3rd party wine repos from synaptic
[05:12] <hendrixski> mobutu, when I print to file from firefox it prints to postscript, there is no pdf option
[05:12] <jrod> no one is in the winehq chanel
[05:12] <Yo> Well, I guess I'll see in about 20 min
[05:12] <mobutu> hendrixski: google for 'PRINT TO PDF' 'UBUNTU'
[05:12] <kevin__> hendrixski, its possible to inrstall a pdf printe
[05:12] <hitmanWilly> jrod: find the older src and compile it
[05:13] <kschreyack> Pelo, thanks - I'll check it out now
[05:13] <hendrixski> hitmanWilly, that's a lot of work :( there's no easier way?
[05:13] <jrod> will that resolve my fps issue?
[05:13] <khin> question, why when i search say for 'bash' in file system do i get no results
[05:13] <imbecile> Pelo:  said it was unable to load the image :( at least its detecting the fact that it should be their though
[05:13] <hendrixski> mobutu, I did... everything I got was some spyware for Internet explorer
[05:13] <imbecile> there*
[05:13] <hendrixski> kevin__, a pdf printer?  tell me more :)
[05:13] <kevin__> hendrixski: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/23/print-to-pdf-using-cups-pdf/
[05:14] <Pelo> imbecile, double check the path and try wiith another image, incase that one is corrupted
[05:14] <kevin__> try that
[05:14] <pnorris> anyone on themes?
[05:14] <santos> how can i use gdebi?
[05:14] <Frogzoo> hendrixski: install a pdf print driver
[05:14] <Pelo> pnorris,  ask a question we can answer
[05:14] <mobutu> hendrixski:  http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/23/print-to-pdf-using-cups-pdf/ http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/12/09/how-to-print-to-pdf-from-any-native-program-ubuntu-6061/ http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=07/05/03/1421232
[05:14] <neuro_> print to postscript, use ps2pdf to convert the ps file to pdf
[05:14] <hendrixski> kevin__,  that looks like it would do the trick
[05:14] <neuro_> ps2pdf is part of gs-common
[05:14] <pnorris> ok, how do you install themes?
[05:14] <hendaus> Pelo:  i have another question?
[05:14] <kevin__> hendrixski: or even better: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/23/print-to-pdf-using-cups-pdf/
[05:14] <Yo> Also, how hard is it to setup XGL/Compiz on FIesty? I know on SUSE it was built in. Could anyone point me to instructions for doing so?
[05:15] <hendrixski> mobutu, sweet. I'll try the wiki links too
[05:15] <CpuID2> so, anyone here know the best option to set a packages configs back to default?
[05:15] <kevin__> i meant http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=140815&highlight=printing+pdf
[05:15] <linuxacolyspe> You know, I hate to send youse guys running for your Kleenex boxes, but it is good to see an IRC channel that is Linux based not tearing out the newbie's hearts for not being born to UNIX.It's good to be human. :-)
[05:15] <hendrixski> thanks everyone :) I'll try that and see how it goes
[05:15] <Pelo> pnorris, download the tar.gz package you want from the site you want   like gnome-look.org and drag drop it on the theme manager dialog
[05:15] <hendaus> Pelo: i want to install edgy, coz i have dapper,can u help me please
[05:15] <greyfrog> CpuID2: dpkg-reconfigure ?
[05:15] <pnorris> k thanks i will try
[05:15] <neuro_> linuxacolyspe: i have no kleenex :(
[05:16] <linuxacolyspe> neuro: Use your sleeve. LOL :-)
[05:16] <Pelo> hendaus, we did all that for dapper ?   skip edgy go straight to fiesty,  dl it from the site or in torrent and butn it to cd
[05:16] <Yo> I only buy generic tissue;)
[05:16] <Pelo> !download | hendaus
[05:16] <ubotu> hendaus: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[05:16] <linuxacolyspe> Yo: Is it recycled? LOL
[05:16] <r3ivaj> oh
[05:16] <CpuID2> greyfrog, interesting, havent tried that
[05:17] <Yo> linuxacolyspe: Uh oh. I didn't think about...
[05:17] <pnorris> ok tried drag and drop and getting the error file format is invalid
[05:17] <mobutu> CpuID2: the scorched earth way would be to uninstall the package and purge all files related to it, with apt-get remove --purge packagename, then reinstalling the package
[05:17] <Bree> Pelo: I have Ubuntu installed. :D
[05:17] <Pelo> pnorris,  do not unpack the tar.gz file
[05:17] <Pelo> Bree,  congrats
[05:17] <linuxacolyspe> Yo: Just use your sleeve like the rest....whoops..
[05:17] <pnorris> i didnt its still packed
[05:17] <hendaus> Pelo:  edgy or fiesty, which one is better and tell me if both have devede program?
[05:17] <gregorovius> anyone knows how can I change which calculator opens when I press the calc button in my keyboard?
[05:17] <Bree> Yes, and I apparently.. Dont know how to do anyhting. Because I installed something and cant find it, Pelo. D:

[05:18] <Bree> Grub 21, Pelo
[05:18] <ablyss> hey guys I just bought a brand new Brother all in one laser printer.. and would you know Brother actually makes linux drivers :)
[05:18] <Bree> error.
[05:18] <linuxacolyspe> :-?
[05:18] <Bree> Thing.
[05:18] <Pelo> Bree, ah,  what did you install ?
[05:18] <Bree> Wine. D:
[05:18] <Frogzoo> linuxacolyspe: you think? I miss the flames, tbh
[05:18] <pnorris> pelo  im dropping the tar.gz packs into theme preferences right?
[05:18] <ablyss> got it shared too on the network w/ cups.. everyone even those less fortunate windows users can print
[05:18] <Pelo> hendaus,  both have devede in them but even if they didn't it's not hard to isntall
[05:18] <linuxacolyspe> FTF Frogzoo, they're depressing.
[05:19] <Pelo> pnorris,  more or less ,  are you sure it is a desktop theme package ? and not a login screen or something else ?
[05:19] <hendaus> Pelo:  so please tell me what can i do to begin installing fiesty
[05:19] <linuxacolyspe> gule gule linuturk. :-)
[05:19] <Pelo> hendaus,  start by downloading the cd and burning it
[05:19] <Pelo> !download | hendaus
[05:19] <ubotu> hendaus: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Archive
[05:19] <hendaus> Pelo:  but i am using kubuntu not ubuntu
[05:20] <Pelo> hendaus,  do you want to install kubuntu or ubuntu ?
[05:20] <hendaus> Pelo:  kubuntu?
[05:20] <Pelo> hendaus,  theck in the kubuntu site then
[05:20] <Pelo> check

[05:21] <hendaus> Pelo:  ok let me first install automatix, can u tell me
[05:21] <linuxacolyspe> heh
[05:21] <Fezzler> Why is this returning "chgrp: invalid group `andyfs'....user@MYUBUNTU:/fls/home$ sudo chgrp andyfs /fls/andyfs chgrp: invalid group `andyfs'
[05:21] <lenny_original> somebody who can give me newby spanish support?
[05:21] <mobutu> Fezzler: what does 'grep andyfs /etc/group' say?
[05:21] <Pelo> hendaus,  you do not need automatix and I will not help you with that ,   and you are going to reinstall kubuntu anyway,  instaling new stuff now is pointless
[05:21] <psusi> !es
[05:21] <ubotu> Si busca ayuda en Espaol por favor entre en los canales #ubuntu-es, #kubuntu-es o #edubuntu-es, all obtendr mas ayuda.
[05:22] <lenny_original> thanks ;)
[05:22] <mobutu> hendaus: Automatix causes depleted uranium
[05:22] <pnorris> yes its a desktop theme from what i can tell (just installed ubuntu this afternoon
[05:22] <Pelo> mobutu, donT confuse him
[05:22] <kevin__> mobutu, what do you mean by that?
[05:23] <Pelo> pnorris,  where did you get it ?
[05:23] <hendaus> mobutu:  oh ic
[05:23] <mobutu> the joke is too meta for you
[05:23] <Fezzler> mobutu: just drops to command line.  Nothing
[05:23] <Pelo> pnorris,  give me the link to the page
[05:23] <cbs> ok, having a bit of trouble....ubuntu isnt mounting/seeing my ntfs drive, but all was fine untill it did an auto disk check on start, and now its not mounting....any thoughts?
[05:23] <hendaus> Pelo: ok lets install fiesty for kubuntu
[05:23] <mobutu> Fezzler: that command looks for 'andyfs' in your groups.  if there is no line with andyfs in /etc/group , you don't have a group named andyfs.  so that's why chgrp andyfs FILES doesn't work
[05:23] <pnorris> k one second
[05:24] <Pelo> hendaus, join me in #kubuntu
[05:24] <effie_jayx> !automatix luis
[05:24] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about automatix luis - try searching on http://bots.ubuntulinux.nl/factoids.cgi
[05:24] <kevin__> im just wondering what's so bad about it?
[05:24] <effie_jayx> !automatix2
[05:24] <ubotu> Automatix2 is a script that tries to install some software, and often fails and breaks systems. We don't provide support for it, and we strongly discourage its use. Problems caused by Automatix are often hard to track and solve, and it might sometimes be easier to !install a fresh copy of Ubuntu. See also !WorksForMe
[05:24] <effie_jayx> !automatix2 luis

[05:24] <luis> OH!
[05:24] <ubotu> SSH is the Secure SHell protocol. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSHHowto for usage. Putty is a nice SSH client for Windows; it can be found at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
[05:24] <pnorris> pelo here is one of the ones i dl'ed    http://themes.freshmeat.net/projects/blaircastlestream/
[05:24] <Rebecca> hey, im curious as to the difference between ubuntu server and desktop.. is there a 'diff like' comparison?
[05:25] <kevin__> ok.. worked for me..
[05:25] <Frogzoo> meh, if you want to run automatix, fine, just try #automatix for support, not here
[05:25] <mobutu> Rebecca: you know how ubuntu has all the GNOME stuff and kubuntu has the KDE stuff?  ubuntu server has neither
[05:25] <Rebecca> mobutu: that's it?
[05:25] <Yo> !XGL
[05:25] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - See http://tinyurl.com/pw5ez for Kubuntu systems - Help in #ubuntu-effects
[05:25] <Madpilot> Rebecca, -server has no graphical interface, just the command line
[05:25] <x_or> I cannot get sound to work.  This started when I switched from KDE to Gnome.  I have definitely unmuted the PCM and Master.  I have the volume levels up.  I am running mplayer and I killed esd to make sure it unlocks the sound card.  I am stumped.
[05:25] <finer> is there a config file for the built in desktop effects in feisty?
[05:26] <jeeves__> can someone give me a hand with this P100 laptop with no sound.
[05:26] <cbs> how would I go about mounting my sata ntfs hard drive in ubuntu?
[05:26] <Rebecca> is the lack of GUI the only difference?
[05:26] <Fezzler> mobutu:  I created the file structure /srv/smbhome/andyfs  and the the book says set group own/permission with chgrp andyfs /srv/smbhome/andyfs??
[05:26] <kevin__> cbs: read only or read write?
[05:26] <cbs> read only is fine,. i know hwo to enable write
[05:26] <cbs> i just cant find it
[05:26] <jeeves__> Rebecca:  I'm guessing you're asking the difference between a GUI (X-Server) and shell is that one is just a GUI and the other is text?
[05:27] <kevin__> is should show up in nautilus under computer:///
[05:27] <Rebecca> jeeves__: no, im well versed in CLI
[05:27] <Fezzler> mobutu: to be followed by chmod 770 and then chmod g+s
[05:27] <rogerio> Hi.
[05:27] <Madpilot> Rebecca, I gather that the server kernel has a few differences, but the lack of gui is the main diff
[05:27] <jeeves__> Rebecca:  ok, I wasn't't sure what you were asking.
[05:27] <mobutu> Rebecca: if you want a detailed list, you should find the package list that makes up the meta package 'ubuntu-desktop' or the package list that makes up the meta package 'kubuntu-desktop', and.... that stuff wont be in ubuntu server
[05:27] <Pelo> pnorris,  I just had a look , it's not a theme it,s just a wallpaper,  unpack it , put it somewhere convinient , and open it with the wall paper manager
[05:27] <imbecile> Pelo:  I found my problem, how do i save a download to /boot/grub?
[05:28] <cbs> kevin: its not there
[05:28] <Rebecca> okay
[05:28] <frederick85> does anyone know a good game that is worth getting
[05:28] <mobutu> Fezzler: what does 'groups andyfs' say ?
[05:28] <kevin__> hmm..internal hard drive?
[05:28] <Pelo> imbecile,  you don'T you download it to yoru desktop and ten you move it
[05:28] <cbs> yes
[05:28] <Fezzler> mobutu: do I create the valid accounts first?
[05:28] <cbs> it was there and fine untill ubuntu did a scandisk on boot one day
[05:28] <pnorris> pelo ok when dl themes like on the site you gave me before what do i look for.....sorry i am new to this
[05:28] <Fezzler> mobutu: no such user
[05:28] <kevin__> random.. em, is it in you /etc/fstab?
[05:29] <mobutu> Fezzler: i have no idea what you are doing, but usually when you create a user, like with adduser andyfs , a user name andyfs is created, AND a group named andyfs is created
[05:29] <cbs> 1sec
[05:29] <mobutu> Fezzler: changing the ownership of a file to a user that doesn't exist or changing the group of a file to a group that doesn't exist, does not make sense
[05:29] <Pelo> pnorris, look for what ever you want,  that one is just borked, they are not all like that
[05:29] <mobutu> frederick85: Katamari Damacy
[05:29] <cbs> kevin: ya its in there
[05:30] <Frogzoo> anyone know about the low latency kernel ?
[05:30] <kevin__> whats the entry for it?
[05:30] <Nergar> can someone help me troubleshoot ssh??
[05:30] <Nergar> i can't connect
[05:30] <pnorris> pelo so things like gdm themes or xmms themes are ok
[05:30] <imbecile> Pelo:  can i drag it there using file browser to show the folder?
[05:30] <Fezzler> Mobuntu: I am trying to create server file for 6 users.   The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the #ubuntu channel topic)
[05:31] <Fezzler> Mobuntu: So what I hear you saying before I can use chgrp or chmod I have to establish the users
[05:31] <Nergar> n0n4m3, how do i start the ssh daemon on the "server"??
[05:32] <blackjackel> Is there a way I can set Ubuntu to automatically login when I start my computer so that I don't have to enter my username and password everytime?
[05:32] <n0n4m3> Nergar ugm... /etc/init.d/sshd start or something like that... but i belive it should be already running
[05:32] <cbs> kevin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21789/
[05:32] <cbs> theres my whole fstab, pretty short
[05:32] <mobutu> Fezzler: that is great.  you need to make sure the user or group of the users exists.  did you create them already ?
[05:32] <Alan_> I can use modinfo to see some information on a kernel module, but is there something else to see the version of the module?
[05:32] <Nergar> n0n4m3, yesterday I did a sudo aptitude install ssh-server and i was able to connect, i turned it on today and now i can't
[05:32] <mobutu> Fezzler: yes. changing the ownership of a file, to a user that does not exist yet, does not make sense
[05:33] <kevin__> cbs: did you try "sudo mount /mnt/sdb1"?
[05:33] <nub> what wifi card should i buy????>
[05:34] <Pelo> nub, did you check the hardware info page ?
[05:34] <jeeves__> so, does anyone know how to fix this sound issue?
[05:34] <AngryMax> Hey, anyone know how to install off the LiveCD without actually running full ubuntu from the CD?
[05:34] <mobutu> Alan_: what does that mean.  if you compile a module, under your version of the kernel.... then you're running a module tied to that kernel version.
[05:34] <kevin__> cbs: sorry i meant sda1
[05:34] <Fezzler> mobutu: I guess not.  Book I'm using is not clear.  So I have  a new HD installed and mounted as folder (/srv) and created the folder structure
[05:34] <Pelo> !sound | jeeves__
[05:34] <ubotu> jeeves__: If you're having problems with sound, first ensure ALSA is selected, by double clicking on the volume control, then File -> Change Device (ALSA Mixer). If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/index.php?page=DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !Players and !MP3
[05:34] <CapaH> Does anyone here play StarCraft under Ubuntu? I am running into a whole host of problems --- anyone?
[05:34] <tonyyarusso> nub: I have an Intel PRO/Wireless 2915 a/b/g (internal) which has worked flawlessly since Hoary.  I'd highly recommend Intel stuff driver-wise.
[05:34] <Fezzler> mobutu: I guess I'm going about this backwards
[05:35] <Pelo> AngryMax,   the point of the live cd is to run a full ubuntu,  if you dont, like it try the alternate isntall cd
[05:35] <mobutu> Fezzler: you wouldn't email someone unless you knew what their email address was.  almost the same thing
[05:35] <imbecile> Pelo:  I d/led to desktop ran gksu nautilus /boot/grub then tried to drag the file from desktop to /boot/grub but its still not dragging over
[05:35] <Fezzler> Mobutu: I set up the WORKGROUP and Netbios (MYUBUNTU)
[05:35] <Alan_> mobutu:  Ok.. but it's a kernel not compiled by myself and trying to determine the level of a module that I didn't install
[05:35] <jeeves__> pelo:  ok, thanks.  I think I've tried it before.  And if I remember corectly, it didn't work
[05:35] <AngryMax> Pelo: it's just that the LiveCD takes forever to load
[05:35] <needs2repart> Hello
[05:35] <Pelo> CapaH,  check the forum
[05:35] <Madpilot> blackjackel, yes. System->Admin->Login Window, tick the Automatic Login box
[05:35] <mobutu> Fezzler: that sounds like Samba
[05:35] <Pelo> imbecile,  sudo mv source  target
[05:35] <cbs> kevin: http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/21790/
[05:35] <Fezzler> Motubu: Can I keep the file structure and set up the users now?
[05:35] <nub> thats for laptops??
[05:35] <CapaH> Pelo: I have, and I have not solved my problems :)
[05:36] <Pelo> jeeves__,  check the forum
[05:36] <Fezzler> Mobutu: YEs, samba set up
[05:36] <Alan_> mobutu: The folks who do the zd1211 kernel driver have several versions not tied to a specific kernel it seems
[05:36] <jeeves__> pelo:  thanks.  checking
[05:36] <kevin__> imbecile, just open a terminal and type "cp ~/Desktop/whatever.xpm.gz /boot/grub"
[05:36] <mobutu> Fezzler: if you have a user mary and you created a directory /files/mary/ and you want to make it so mary can edit those files , first  you make the use mary, then you chown/chgrp like you were going to
[05:36] <matiu> How do I play .jar's in ubuntu/
[05:36] <cbs> LOL @ imbecile...I thought you were all talking trash
[05:36] <ThePioneer> Does anybody know anything about rss feeds
[05:37] <mobutu> Fezzler: though how will mary know where that rirectory is, is another question
[05:37] <needs2repart> hello???
[05:37] <cbs> kevin: going to boot win and shut it back down
[05:37] <cbs> kevin: brb
[05:37] <tonyyarusso> ThePioneer: a tiny bit - come on over to #ubuntu-offtopic for that though
[05:37] <n0n4m3> Nergar umm.. is it possible server was somehow halted? power shortage? hardware problem?
[05:37] <needs2repart> is this part of the freenode network???
[05:37] <kevin__> cbs: cool..
[05:37] <tonyyarusso> needs2repart: yes
[05:37] <mobutu> Alan_: I have no idea.  poke around in /lib/modules ?
