[00:07] <Pelo> Sonjaaa, look for speach recognition in synaptic
[00:07] <ompaul> Slazer, lp filename if you have a printer configured and if it is an ethernet printer then you need to do lp -P lp17 foo where lp17 is the cups name for the printer and foo is the file
[00:08] <Pelo> Slazer,  I think you need to setup lpr first to use your printer,
[00:08] <Pelo> Slazer, man lpr for mor info
[00:08]  * ompaul admits it is night time and goes away
[00:08]  * Pelo tucks ompaul in

[00:14] <thursday> GKsu is broken it seems... as I have concurrently deduced by friends help, but there are two instances of libgksu installed 1.2 and 2.0... is this supposed to be like this? I have Gutsy installed.
[00:14] <Centaur5> Doesn't Gutsy have included winmodem drivers?
[00:14] <thinh_> it is the current
[00:14] <slimjimflim> ddclient wouldn't hurt anything
[00:14] <kanuha> How would I open nautilus to a specific folder?
[00:14]  * Pelo is gonna hve to get himself one of them life things one of these days
[00:14] <slimjimflim> but that's not the problem

[00:15] <Loaxes> Pelo: My Wifi. er, It's Timi :P Theres a little switch on the from of my laptop that turns the wifi on and off, I had it on off
[00:15] <Nirevus> Pelo, did that as well. The only answer there isn't exactly the same, and the solution is very vague
[00:15] <slimjimflim> i forget how to do it from a shell, but you can hit escape at boot time and edit it there
[00:15] <thinh_> i mean where is it located
[00:16] <Scunizi> I uncommented the "send core events" section in xorg to get Gimp to recognize an "extended input device" however after doing that my pads scroll wheel and buttons ceased to function.  Anyone have any answers?
[00:16] <emja> does anyone know of a FAQ/HOWTO for NIS & NFS?
[00:16] <slimjimflim> anybody where the grub configuration file is located?
[00:16] <Nirevus> Pelo, this is all google has on it, go down tot he last two posts: I have a problem with my webcam in aMSN.

[00:19] <sky`sunset> pelo     but it said destop effects could not be enabled
[00:19] <Timi> Linux88: Yeah, I hate myself, and I think you hate me too.

[00:20] <slimjimflim> confess, i don't think so
[00:20] <caustic> Got a huge problem.
[00:20] <Pelo> sky`sunset,  your video card might not be strong enough for it to work and so it is disabled
[00:20] <IdleOne> Confess: point to archives.xubuntu.com without a country code perhaps that is the issue
[00:20] <linux88> Timi ,lol
[00:20] <slimjimflim> caustic that sucks
[00:20] <Confess> Have you used https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WindowsServerNetboot ??

[00:21] <linux88> Timi so your wireless card isnt internal? or it is and the switch is on your laptop?
[00:21] <Confess> Yes I do. :P
[00:21] <Pelo> world_citizen,  go to the ubuntu website, the dl section, and select a country mirror , you 'll get a list of file, look for the dvd one

[00:22] <slimjimflim> *model number
[00:22] <IdleOne> Confess: like I said i dont know about netinstalls perhaps someone else can help but if the archive is down then try using another archive. I have to get going. good luck

[00:22] <slimjimflim> thinh_ as long as it starts up, that's normal
[00:22] <Mocheeze> Hey all, I'm having a problem with Gutsy. It seems that tooltips are being displayed even when there is nothing to populate them. So I constantly have a little empty yellow box popping up whenever I leave my mouse in one place for more than a couple seconds. I tried looking for some tooltip options, but nothing seems to fix my problem.
[00:23] <joanki> it says that the video player is only available for firefox mac
[00:23] <joanki> what does that mean?
[00:23] <linux88> Timi haha well thats nice. I knew that chipset worked out of the box, i forgot to ask about the switch. So did you reinstall linux?
[00:23] <PMantis> sethk: Hey, I found that /etc/udev/rules.d/75-persis... has the rules for which cards get which name. Used to be in /etc/iftab
[00:23] <Timi> Linux88; question now, is there any way to play my music off an external hard drive? Because my music library is 85gigs and I have a 120 gig hard drive. It's a problem
[00:23] <Timi> linux88: yep, I sure did.
[00:23] <emja> does anyone know of a FAQ/HOWTO for NFS client on Ubuntu? I'm trying to connect to FC3 server but the mount fails during boot
[00:23] <thursday> One main thing it wants to uninstall is ubuntu-desktop, all my outside installed programs, like avant, automatix, istanbul, serpentine, python gnome extras, and some other unimportant things.
[00:23] <thursday> @pelo
[00:23] <thinh_> yeah just sometime it takes forever i kind of know what going on because of the mount check, but i recall that after awhile when it doesnt starts up
[00:23] <linux88> Timi is the external harddrive connected to your computer
[00:23] <Confess> Anyone mind lending me a hand one on one? lol
[00:24] <linux88> timi your laptop i mean?

[00:29] <Arinomi> RequinB4, this manager doesn't act like the pre-installed manager. I can't select wireless networks with it..
[00:30] <Pelo> thursday,  i have both as well and they work fine
[00:30] <Monkee_Of_Evil> Hey
[00:30] <professor_> hey all
[00:30] <Monkee_Of_Evil> does anyone have any in game screen shots of any Linux gaes they would mind sharing with the Houston Loco?
[00:31] <sasha__> duh me.... i was actually in a different box
[00:31] <sasha__> grrr
[00:31] <thursday> Hmm.
[00:31] <Pelo> later folks
[00:31] <Monkee_Of_Evil> *Linux Games
[00:31] <slimjimflim> caustic, have you googled     "   "SB450 HDA Audio" ubuntu  "
[00:32] <Monkee_Of_Evil> We have a list of about 20-25 games, but would rather use community contributed screen shots instead of ones from the vendor websites
[00:32] <caustic> slimjim yeah. i get forums.
[00:32] <Confess> anyone know where to find the netboot.tar.gz for Xubuntu?
[00:32] <Confess> Or the latest ubuntu?
[00:32] <Monkee_Of_Evil> Anyone?
[00:33] <slimjimflim> confess #xubuntu?
[00:33] <caustic> >.<;
[00:33] <Jack_Sparrow> I owe someone an apology.  I messed up when linking a file to help them with an ntfs drive. That was not the program I thought it was.
[00:33] <slimjimflim> hang on
[00:34] <n08l3J> hello everyone
[00:34] <Confess> Anyone know why the archive directory is missing a whole bunch of files
[00:34] <professor_> I was wondering I want to modify a game but where do I find the file to do so
[00:34] <n08l3J> anybody know what is the location of default gdm splash image
[00:35] <Jack_Sparrow> !source
[00:35] <ubotu> You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[00:35] <Jack_Sparrow> !splash
[00:35] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[00:36] <linux_> ...
[00:36] <professor_> how do you go into game files and edit them
[00:37] <n08l3J> anybody know what is the location of default gdm splash image
[00:37] <arang2> hi guys, anyone could point me to a good how-to, to install pulseaudio in gutsy?
[00:37] <Jack_Sparrow> professor_: you get the source code and edit it
[00:37] <Kibble_> what's the command to delete a folder even if it's not empty?
[00:37] <an0malist> I installed KDE on ubuntu with apt but it put a ton of apps in my gnome menus.. I want to just reverse what I did when I installed KDE... apt-get remove KDE just seems to remove "kde" but not the whole slew of things it installed.. how do I reverse what I did?
[00:37] <nana> is it possible without using screen to take a terminal running on ssh and move it to the local tty's?
[00:37] <Jack_Sparrow> n08l3J: See the link above
[00:38] <Jack_Sparrow> an0malist: kubuntu-desktop
[00:38] <professor_> Jack_Sparrow, How do I do that
[00:38] <n08l3J> i don't see anything, i got disconnected Jack_Sparrow
[00:38] <n08l3J> could you post it again ?
[00:38] <Jack_Sparrow> !splash
[00:38] <ubotu> To change the Gnome splash screen, use !gnome-splashscreen-manager or change the GConf key /apps/gnome-session/options/splash_image using !gconf-editor.
[00:38] <caustic> Gahh, I'm -still- stuck.
[00:38] <Jack_Sparrow> professor_: do you know any programming?
[00:39] <Kibble_> what's the command to delete a folder even if it's not empty?
[00:39] <jonnyro> rmdir
[00:39] <jonnyro> rm -rf ./
[00:39] <an0malist> Jack_Sparrow: it says kubuntu-desktop is not installed :\
[00:39] <jonnyro> (beware the second one, as it does what you want, but if you mistype, bad)
[00:39] <professor_> python
[00:39] <Kibble_> isn't that recursive, jonnyro?
[00:39] <Jack_Sparrow> jonnyro: Who are you talking to
[00:39] <professor_> Jack_Sparrow, I am learning python
[00:40] <jonnyro> sorry, was directed at Kibble_
[00:40] <slimjimflim> caustic,  have you reinstalled the driver?
[00:40] <jonnyro> Kibble_, rm -rf ./ will recursively delete a folder, even if it's not empty
[00:40] <Confess> is there a way to make an OS install from the a computer instead of the internet>
[00:40] <slimjimflim> ...it looks like a pretty common issue
[00:40] <caustic> slimjim: I can't find it in the first place, I keep hittin forums.
[00:40] <Jack_Sparrow> professor_: start by reading the link on source...
[00:40] <Jack_Sparrow> !install
[00:40] <PanzerMKZ_> Confess: from the computer vs net?
[00:40] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DapperReleaseNotes/UbiquityKnownIssues - Don't want to use a CD? Try http://tinyurl.com/3exghs - See also !automate
[00:41]  * jonnyro is not looking forward to fixing my compiz issues
[00:41] <Kibble_> jonnyro: so a full command would be <sudo rm -rf ./ /opt/directory_name>?
[00:41] <jif> Confess: sure.  You mean like from a CD or DVD?
[00:41] <world_citizen> #kubutu
[00:41] <Confess> No
[00:41] <Confess> via netboot
[00:41] <jonnyro> Kibble_, in fact, yes
[00:41] <Confess> sry
[00:41] <PanzerMKZ_> bam looks like the bot got in front of everyone
[00:41] <jonnyro> Kibble_, that will completely delete the directory in question
[00:42] <Kibble_> jonnyro thank you
[00:42] <Jmax> hi, i'm missing /dev/dvdrw.  What should I do?
[00:42] <arang2> hi guys, anyone could point me to a good how-to, to install pulseaudio in gutsy?
[00:42] <professor_> Jack_Sparrow, Where do I find that, I am a noob
[00:42] <cellofellow> Jmax: never seen that before. /dev/dvd should be there though.
[00:42] <jonnyro> I should have never upgraded from feisty to gutsy, still having issues getting borders working with compiz effects turned on
[00:42] <Jack_Sparrow> !source
[00:42] <ubotu> You can easily fetch a package's source with apt-get. See: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-sourcehandling.en.html
[00:42] <Jmax> it's not
[00:42] <jonnyro> I should just do a complete reinstall
[00:43] <cellofellow> Jmax: what about /dev/cdrom?
[00:43] <Jmax> nope
[00:43] <Jmax> no /dev/hd? either
[00:43] <Jack_Sparrow> professor_: Please direct further question to the #python room
[00:43] <Siph0n> hey, every time i open K3b it takes 3-5 minutes to load.... is this normal?
[00:43] <ilgbbb> i need help slowing fans down with pwmconfig
[00:43] <cellofellow> Jmax: /dev/sd* ?
[00:43] <sethk> jonnyro, never upgrade just because the upgrade is available
[00:43] <Jmax> nope
[00:43] <Jmax> nor /dev/sg* or /dev/scd*
[00:43] <caustic> ...?
[00:43] <Jmax> well, except for my hard drives
[00:43] <cellofellow> Jmax: is there ANYTHING in /dev?
[00:43] <Jmax> yes
[00:43] <Kibble_> jonnyro: it returned "rm: cannot remove directory `./': Invalid argument"
[00:43] <Jack_Sparrow> Siph0n: no, unless it is having a hard time identifying the drive
[00:44] <cellofellow> Jmax: do you know how your DVD drive is attached to your system?
[00:44] <Siph0n> Jack_Sparrow, ok, thanks! :)
[00:44] <jonnyro> Kibble_, what directory do you want to delete
[00:44] <ilgbbb> Found the following devices:
[00:44] <ilgbbb>    hwmon0/device is w83627ehf
[00:44] <ilgbbb>    hwmon1/device is coretemp
[00:44] <ilgbbb>    hwmon2/device is coretemp
[00:44] <ilgbbb> Found the following PWM controls:
[00:44] <ilgbbb>    hwmon0/device/pwm1
[00:44] <ilgbbb> hwmon0/device/pwm1_enable stuck to 1
[00:44] <ilgbbb> Failed to set pwmhwmon0/device/pwm1 to full speed
[00:44] <ilgbbb> Something's wrong, check your fans!
[00:44] <cellofellow> Mine, for example, is hdc, so IDE Master 2.
[00:44] <jonnyro> Kibble_, if i wanted to delete /opt/blah, i'd run "rm -rf /opt/blah"
[00:44] <Jmax> wodim: No such file or directory. | Cannot open SCSI driver!
[00:44] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: use gksudo nautilus     or better gksudo thunar
[00:44] <thursday> I didn't understand your  request Monkee_Of_Evil
[00:44] <Kibble_> aha ok.
[00:44] <jonnyro> Kibble_, so, actually, your suggestion above, which i said was okay, was in fact wrong
[00:44] <jonnyro> (sorry, distracted screwing around with compiz)
[00:44] <Kibble_> yes, i figured out that much already :)
[00:44] <Jmax> cellofellow: it *should* be, and was, in debian, /dev/hda
[00:44] <thinh> slim u there?
[00:44] <sux_daemon> somebody knows how to configure oidentd to use with x-chat?
[00:45] <Kibble_> jack - what're those?
[00:45] <Jack_Sparrow> file managers  gui
[00:45] <cellofellow> Jmax: which version of Debian?
[00:45] <Jmax> cellofellow: wodim: No such file or directory. | Cannot open SCSI driver!
[00:45] <Jmax> cellofellow: etch
[00:45] <ilgbbb> is there anyone who can use pwmconfig?
[00:45] <thinh> i get connection refuse now on my friends place
[00:45] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: go to terminal    type gksudo nautilus
[00:45] <Jmax> cellofellow: there is /dev/sg0, sg1, sg2
[00:46] <cellofellow> Jmax: well, I think in Gutsy they made it so that hd is no longer, replaced with sd. I may be wrong, but I upgraded from Feisty so I still have sd.
[00:46] <Jmax> cellofellow: and my data /dev/sda sdb sdc
[00:46] <Jmax> hdd*
[00:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: it will let you do whatever you want, just be very sure of what you ask it to do.. then get out of it
[00:46] <Kibble_> i wrote  gksudo thunar and it didn't seem to do anything jack
[00:46] <thinh> do i have to open a port on my friends router to get the data to it?
[00:46] <Swian> just upgraded from 7.04 to 7.10 very nice
[00:46] <xav3s>  hi. I've just installed fglrx (using envy) and enabled the driver. But, when fglrxinfo, the output is mesa. I already rebooted the system. Any help?
[00:46] <cellofellow> Jmax: `mount` will show what is mounted where.
[00:46] <Jmax> cellofellow: right, i use lvm
[00:46] <sasha__> what is the sound config directive in ubuntu ?
[00:46] <Kibble_> how do I stop it jack?
[00:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: you would need to install thunar with synaptic or apt-get
[00:46] <cellofellow> Jmax: I haven't a clue how lvm works.
[00:46] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: close it
[00:47] <Jmax> cellofellow: lvm should not be related.
[00:47] <slimjimflim> caustic idk
[00:47] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: then close the terminal window when it returns to a prompt
[00:47] <cellofellow> likely
[00:47] <caustic> crap.
[00:47] <sasha__> alsaconfig cant be found
[00:47] <Jmax> maybe i'm missinga  module
[00:47] <cellofellow> Jmax: maybe you should point wodim at the actual lvm device file.
[00:47] <professor_> Jack_Sparrow, I dont have questions about python, I have questions about where to find the file to edit on my computer for the game
[00:47] <Kibble_> jack - no idea what that did, but thanks
[00:48] <Kibble_> thanks jonny - it worked
[00:48] <professor_> Jack_Sparrow, I dont have questions about python, I have questions about where to find the file to edit on my computer for the game
[00:48] <Jmax> cellofellow: my optical drive doesn't use lvm
[00:48] <Jack_Sparrow> professor_: and once again.. the link I provided shows you how to get the source code for any program you want to edit.
[00:48] <Kibble_> (read in a man that rm -rf can erase entire chunks of your hd
[00:48] <Jack_Sparrow> professor_: When you install a program you do NOT automatically download the source code
[00:49] <thinh> what better to use ddclient or router ddns?
[00:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: that is why I was directing you away from that option
[00:49] <todkon> Does anyone know of a good run prompt program? something with like a history + tab completion?
[00:49] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: You type that wrong and lose everything
[00:50] <todkon> I tried using the xfrun, its alright, it has history, but no tab completion
[00:50] <thinh> slim can u try to connect again on my ip should still be in your email
[00:50] <todkon> something gtk but like the Enlightenment Run Prompt :)
[00:50] <Kibble_> hmmm, i would think there was a safer option, no?
[00:50] <thinh> i get connection refuse when i am at a friends place
[00:50] <todkon> maybe a little more minimal though
[00:50] <caustic> can anyone help me?
[00:50] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: command line is very powerful.. but unforgiving
[00:51] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: Use a gui file manager with gksudo
[00:51] <Kibble_> yes, thanks for telling me i could do that ;)
[00:51] <caustic> anyone? o.o;
[00:51] <Jack_Sparrow> np
[00:52] <allenc> I am trying to use samba to connect with windows box, when I type smb in term I get command not found.
[00:52] <thursday> ... still no solution besides uninstalling 20 programs...
[00:52] <Jack_Sparrow> Kibble_: Please use with caution..
[00:52] <Confess> can ANYONE lend me a hand installing ubuntu from a windows computer via netboot?
[00:52] <caustic> My sound refuses to work, and I have a SB 450 audio
[00:53] <caustic> I was told I need the drivers, but I can't fuind them.
[00:53] <Jack_Sparrow> thursday: If you are trying to uninstall one piece of a meta package, I think there is a way.. I just dont remember it
[00:54] <ArthurArchnix> I've installed Gutsy a few times, but this time when I log in I get bugged for the loginkeyring, in order to open up my wireless automatically. I've never set it, and don't know what it is. What's the solution?
[00:54] <spasticteapot> Has anyone here had any luck with Qtella?
[00:54] <Kibble_> hey jack join me a minute in #kibble?
[00:54] <spasticteapot> I get this funny error message : ../include/GWebCacheManager.h:5:19: error: qlist.h: No such file or directory
[00:54] <thursday> Well no... I am trying to fix my menu options.
[00:54] <Jack_Sparrow> ok
[00:55] <thursday> Gksu or something sim is the culprit
[00:55] <caustic> ...?
[00:55] <Guiri> Hi everyone!  I was told Gnome's power settings are best for this.. I'm a bit confused.
[00:56] <Timi> Can anyone tell me how to mount an external drive?
[00:56] <spasticteapot> thursday: For me?
[00:56] <spasticteapot> guiri: Most of the power management things can be done from the command line, if not all.
[00:57] <thursday> No... me... my problem is gksu.
[00:57] <simplechat> hey, if my system freezes with an odd cursor (hand and pointer), which can move, but the keyboard (and mouse buttons) don't respond
[00:57] <Guiri> spasticteapot, can you point me to the correct wiki? I'm fine reading up on this but I'm new to Ubuntu.
[00:57] <AirBender> Timi, first of all you must check the device name /dev/xxx
[00:57] <simplechat> is there any way to fix it without restarting or controll alt backspacing? (which doesn't work with firefox)
[00:57] <caustic> ?
[00:57] <somerville32> So, how does one get sound with flash in firefox? :P
[00:57] <spasticteapot> I know how to adjust power stuff from the CLI mostly because I've had so much trouble with XFCE (admittedly, an earlier version.)
[00:59] <Jack_Sparrow> somerville32: How did you install flash
[00:59] <somerville32> Jack_Sparrow, The normal way.
[00:59] <Jack_Sparrow> somerville32: Cute..  could you be more specific as to which repo
[01:00] <sasha__> how do i play sound from command line ?
[01:00] <somerville32> Jack_Sparrow, Isn't it in the Ubuntu repo?
[01:00] <peacepipejv> help with wine. i uninstalled a program I had runnign under wine, reinstalled it, now it wont run. It just sits in the taskbar.
[01:02] <Timi> Airbender: THanks
[01:04] <AirBender> Timi: have you done it?
[01:04] <Timi> Nope, I haven't the faintest what you were talking about, but I figure that I'll work it out in time :P
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> Sorry, had to get the door.
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> !flash
[01:05] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[01:05] <Pelo> Jack_Sparrow,  what ? no script ?
[01:05] <Timi> Is there a replacement kind of thing for launchy?
[01:05] <Timi> that isn't katapult?
[01:05] <Jack_Sparrow> is how most people install it.  But the ones that install it in a different way are the ones that usually have problems
[01:06] <Pelo> Timi, launchy ?
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> HI Pele
[01:06] <caustic> Gah, still nothing...
[01:06]  * Pelo 's is not a soccer god
[01:06] <meoblast001> hello
[01:06] <linxeh> anyone here got a OLPC ?
[01:06] <AirBender> Timi: get it out, and in again, and then type dmesg in a terminal. Then you will see some information regarding your disk, I hope...
[01:06] <Jack_Sparrow> Ok, I am officially exhausted.. goodnight all
[01:06] <Timi> Pelo, you make a keystroke, say ctrl+space, it brings up a box that allows you to type in the name of the application you want, and presto
[01:06] <Timi> okay, will try airbender
[01:07] <meoblast001> when i try to enable desktop effects i get "Desktop effects could not be enabled." how do i fix this?
[01:07] <Pelo> linxeh, most ppl here aren't impoverished third world elementary school children
[01:07] <spasticteapot> So...has anyone here used Qtella?
[01:07] <allenc> Pelo: I installed Samba (I think) but smb does nothing.
[01:07] <Pelo> Timi,  alt+f2
[01:07] <caustic> any ideas...? No sound when i recently upgraded, I have a SB 450 audio card.
[01:07] <Pelo> allenc,  sudo smb ?
[01:07] <Timi> Pelo, thanks
[01:07] <Pelo> allenc,  I'm not too familiar with samba I think smb is the command line but might be samba
[01:07] <Timi> Airbender, theres lots of info there.
[01:08] <allenc> pelo: neither works.
[01:08] <Pelo> !samba
[01:08] <ubotu> samba is is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT
[01:08] <AirBender> Timi, yes indeed but at the end should be info about a recent connected hdd
[01:08] <ma2> i would like to know, what would happen if i force install command ?
[01:08] <ConstyXIV> wifi routers usually act as a halfway decent (for home use) firewall as well, right?
[01:08] <caustic> ...?
[01:08] <Pelo> allenc,  read up a few lines that was for you
[01:09] <allenc> pelo: that you aren't familiar?
[01:09] <Timi> 1600BEVExternal?
[01:09] <allenc> Is anyone here familiar with samba or another way to map windows directories?
[01:09] <Pelo> ConstyXIV,  depends on how you configure it , but firewall aren't needed in linux like they are in windows
[01:09] <Pelo> !samba > allenc check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[01:10] <ConstyXIV> Pelo: mixed network here
[01:10] <Timi> Airbender: 1600BEVExternal?
[01:10] <Pogonip_> How can I see what processes are running.
[01:10] <AirBender> Timi: may be, actually I haven't experience with external hdd, but may be it could be good idea to type: lsusb and identify your HDD, then, depending on the device number you can try mouting it as /dev/usbX
[01:11] <Guiri> Is there a (relatively) easy way to wipe all of Gnome/default programs to give me a headless server?
[01:11] <Pelo> ConstyXIV, I'm not an expert but most routers have safety / security settnigs , check for nat , firewall,  portforwarding and the likes,  there are also encryption options for wifi and ways of blocking other comps from connecting if they don't have a preassigned static ip
[01:11] <dta948_2> Pog command line.. ps aux
[01:11] <Timi> kay
[01:11] <Timi> whats the mount command?
[01:11] <caustic> my sound won't work on my recent update, and I have a SB 450 audio card, suggestions?

[01:12] <Pelo> Timi,  if your external hdd is ntfs you'll need to use ntfs-3g for monting it
[01:12] <Timi> kk
[01:12] <ma2> i would like to know would force install crash my system ?
[01:13] <caustic> can anyone help me...?

[01:18] <Creationist> How do I go about changing the resolution used by GDM?  It currently uses a distorted resolution (different from the one used when I login).
[01:18] <thursday> I don't want to partition it.

[01:19] <ubotu> : 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

[01:21] <peacepipejv> help with wine. i uninstalled a program I had runnign under wine, reinstalled it, now it wont run. It just sits in the taskbar.
[01:22] <Pelo> Bugson,  it was just a suggestion I notice that when I plugged one usb flsh drive next to another one, the first one would disconnect I assumes this was aproblem with theway my mobo handled things and that it might cause issues on other comps
[01:22] <Pelo> Bugson,  but you might try looking in the forum for ppl with the same problem and how they solved it
[01:23] <Bugson> There's a lot of the same issue but not on 7.10
[01:23] <Bugson> and there, are no asnwers :/
[01:23] <Pelo> Bugson,  solutions would still apply
[01:23]  * Pelo is defeated

[01:27] <whyameye> is it possible to route audio internally to /dev/dsp?

[01:27] <inversekinetix> Pelo I installed flash in the restricted extras package,  is there a way to remove only flash?
[01:27] <ADemiG0D> how do i start up from the live cd when I have ubuntu installed?
[01:27] <joh> Stopping the ntp daemon and running `ntpdate ntp.ubuntu.com' works.
[01:28] <ADemiG0D> it wasnt an option in the grub menu
[01:28] <Pelo> inversekinetix,  in synaptic
[01:28] <Cooner750> Does anyone here expect Wine to get better over time?
[01:28] <Alyxander> pelo that doesnt work
[01:29] <Pelo> Alyxander, what doesn'T work ?
[01:29] <Pelo> Cooner750, most wine users do
[01:29] <inversekinetix> thanks pelo
[01:29] <Pelo> wine deos get better with age after all
[01:29] <Guiri> Does myphpadmin exist for Ubuntu?
[01:29] <Guiri> I can't find the package.
[01:29] <Alyxander> dragging the icon .tar.gz into the theme manager it xubuntu pelo
[01:29] <Pelo> ADemiG0D, just boot from your cd rom
[01:29] <robdig> ADemiG0D: you need to go into your BIOS menu and set it to boot off of CD. usually while BIOS info is up it is F12 or ESC or F8 depending on the bios...usually says on the screen
[01:29] <Guiri> It may be a repo problem
[01:29] <ADemiG0D> thanks again Pelo and Robdig
[01:30] <Pelo> Alyxander, unpack the tar.gz once sometimes they get repacked to add instructions
[01:30] <Cooner750> i hope it does
[01:30] <Cooner750> Steam seems to be working well
[01:30] <Cooner750> Except instant messaging with friends
[01:30] <Cooner750> does not work at all
[01:30] <Pelo> Cooner750,  what issue are you having with it ? short version
[01:30] <tafsen> Are there themes, not just for metacity, but for the whole package? (the windows, panels, everything) ?
[01:30] <Timi> I have a question
[01:30] <Timi> if I save something to the desktop
[01:30] <Timi> and reboot
[01:30] <Timi> does it magically disappear?

[01:31] <inversekinetix> !enter |Timi
[01:31] <ubotu> Timi: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[01:31] <Alyxander> pelo after unpacking still no
[01:31] <Pelo> !enter | Timi
[01:31] <Creationist> Guiri: If you've tried searching the repositories with Synaptic and didn't fine it, then it must not be there :)
[01:31] <robdig> Timi: shouldn't disappear
[01:31] <Creationist> Guiri: You can still install it manually, though.
[01:31] <Pelo> Alyxander, in the theme managerdo you have an install button ?
[01:31] <Timi> Right, right, sorry. and okay.
[01:31] <inversekinetix> Pelo, do you know a lot about linux?
[01:31] <Alyxander> nope xfce
[01:31] <Pelo> inversekinetix, not realy, I use windows vista
[01:32] <inversekinetix> Pelo, lol, ok thanks
[01:32] <Creationist> Timi: To answer your question, no, it shouldn't.
[01:32] <RequinB4> Pelo: xD
[01:32] <Pelo> Alyxander, try asking in #xubuntu
[01:32] <Creationist> Timi: Unless you're using the Live CD :)
[01:32] <Alucard85> Hey, I was looking for some help with installing Ubuntu 6.06 on a HP dv9000 and it won't install right
[01:32] <Timi> I'm not using the live CD
[01:32] <Cooner750> Anyone?
[01:32] <Creationist> Alucard85: Can you elaborate?
[01:32] <inversekinetix> Can anyone recommend me a good linux starter book?
[01:32] <Pelo> inversekinetix,  I'm your basic home user with a nack for problem solving , what is your issue ?
[01:32] <Timi> Question: Is there a recycling bin?
[01:32] <RequinB4> There is a trash can
[01:32] <Creationist> Cooner750: Most windows fonts should work, but I could be wrong.  It won't hurt to try it :)
[01:32] <Pelo> inversekinetix, http://www.linuxcommand.org/index.php http://book.opensourceproject.org.cn/distrib/ubuntu/unleashed/ http://revision3.com/forum/showthread.php?t=84 http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Feisty
[01:32] <inversekinetix> Pelo, me too, just looking for a good book to get better acquainted
[01:33] <robdig> Timi: yup, lower right corner
[01:33] <Pelo> inversekinetix,  I just gave you a few pretty descent links
[01:33] <Alucard85> I'm getting stuck on the live CD. I ran it twice and when it got to the "enterprise volume management systems" the first time it just froze up and the CD stopped. The Second time it stopped at configuring network interfaces
[01:33] <Timi> Thanks, saved my ass there.
[01:33] <inversekinetix> Pelo thanks, adding them now,  I just want a book to take around wit me too
[01:33] <Creationist> Alucard85: How much RAM does the PC have?
[01:33] <Alucard85> 2 gigs
[01:33] <Creationist> Alucard85: Ah, so it's a newer system?
[01:34] <Cooner750> What's the command I run to refresh the font cache?
[01:34] <wastrel> that's a lot of ram
[01:34] <Alucard85> Yeah, a HP dv9000\
[01:34] <Alucard85> it's one of their newer laptops
[01:34] <Creationist> Alucard85: I apologize, I don't know system model numbers :)
[01:34] <AirBender> when using dual Displays with VideoCards, is there a way to adjust each display view to compensate the separation of the screens due to the Edges thickness ??
[01:34] <Pelo> inversekinetix, there is probably a linux for dummies out there somewhere
[01:34] <Alucard85> it's cool, I only know it cause it's right infront of me
[01:34] <leslian> Has anyone had any luck in getting wireless to work in gutsy?
[01:35] <Creationist> Alucard85: May I ask why you're going with 6.06 instead of 7.10?
[01:35] <Pelo> !wifi | leslian
[01:35] <ubotu> leslian: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs
[01:35] <inversekinetix> Pelo.  i live in japan, have to buy everything off the innernets, i hate not being able to look before I buy
[01:35] <Pelo> leslian,  and most ppl have it working
[01:35] <leslian> Hey, thanks. :)
[01:35] <Poul|Raider> So anyone good at svn that could guide me with a few command lines. if i want to submit a folder to svn.lol/branches/raider what would i do then?
[01:35] <Alucard85> Because there is a sticky on the forums that the HP dv9000 does not like Gusty
[01:35] <Alucard85> they recommend that you do not use gusty on Hp 6000 and 9000 series laptops
[01:36] <Creationist> Alucard85: Ah, then I'd stay away from it.  But the problem with brand new systems is that the older versions of Ubuntu may not include device support for them yet.  You could try Edgy or Feisty too.
[01:36] <inversekinetix> would it be possible to installed printer drivers to a WINE installation and print from there?
[01:36] <Alucard85> Well, it wont even finish booting from the CD at all
[01:36] <Pelo> inversekinetix, possibly you'd have to ask the #winehq ppl
[01:36] <dZen|n|> Hello I have installed emerald and I have downloaded some themes how can I use the theme now ?
[01:37] <tafsen> Pelo: Are there full themes at gnome-look.org? I can only find for metacity
[01:37] <inversekinetix> Pelo, Im afraid of winehq, theyre not so friendly
[01:37] <Alucard85> and it's not consistant when it's stops
[01:37] <leslian> Not really, because from most versions of wine, you'd have to create the document in wine as well.
[01:37] <Pelo> inversekinetix,  they are not htat bad
[01:37] <ephemient> dZen|n|: emerald-theme-manager
[01:37] <allenc> what is a fstab file?
[01:37] <Pelo> tafsen, gtk2
[01:37] <Creationist> Alucard85: Right, then it's most likely an unsupported piece of hardware.
[01:37] <dZen|n|> ephemient: yeah and, when I oik the theme what should I do then ?
[01:37] <tafsen> Pelo: Thanks
[01:37] <Pelo> allenc, fstab is the file that automounts your drives at startup
[01:37] <Alyxander> where is ~/.icons/?
[01:38] <AirBender> allenc is a file where you define automatic mounting of devices in your system
[01:38] <Alucard85> So, anyone have a Linux distro that may support whatever it's that is not being supported?
[01:38] <leslian> I'm not sure, but if you type ls -a, that will bring up all your "hidden" files
[01:38] <Creationist> Alucard85: If you can't even get to the desktop, then I'd definitely recommend trying a slightly newer version.   Or you could run the disc check to make sure you have a good burn of Dapper.
[01:38] <Pelo> Alyxander, in it is a hidden folder in /home/username    crtl+h to see hidden folders
[01:38] <Alyxander> ty
[01:38] <allenc> pelo: ok, it says to edit it and put a line in but I don't see it exists...
[01:38] <Pelo> inversekinetix, please accept the files I am sending you
[01:38] <lencho> alguien habla español???
[01:38] <ephemient> dZen|n|: I don't understand what you said.  "oik"?
[01:38] <Creationist> Alucard85: With the newest hardware, device support falls on the linux kernel (which ALL distros use)
[01:38] <inversekinetix> what are the pelo?
[01:39] <Alucard85> The disc check passed and we
[01:39] <Alyxander> pelo im looking there but dont see it
[01:39] <Alucard85> - and we
[01:39] <Pelo> allenc, in the terminal type gksu gedit /etc/fstab

[01:39] <inversekinetix> Pelo I am not recieving any file transfer requests
[01:39] <Alucard85> So any recommendations for someone trying to avoid windows?
[01:39] <dZen|n|> ephemient: I open emerald theme manager and import the theme, but what next I can't apply or something only close
[01:39] <lencho> gracias:D
[01:39] <Pelo> inversekinetix, how about now ?
[01:39] <leslian> Do you mean programs and things, Alucard?
[01:39] <RequinB4> de nada
[01:40] <inversekinetix> Pelo got it but its stuck on starting
[01:40] <Alucard85> no, Linux OS's
[01:40] <Pelo> inversekinetix, hmmm
[01:40] <Cooner750> Wine runs at native speed, correct?
[01:40] <Cooner750> "Wine Is Not An Emulator" ?
[01:40] <leslian> Well, Ubuntu is great, but so is Fedora core.
[01:40] <Pelo> inversekinetix,  are you a registered user on this network ?
[01:40] <Cooner750> I used to have Fedora on here
[01:40] <leslian> I've also tried Mandriva, and I liked it, too.
[01:40] <poeloq> what is the fastest way to check if i have 3d support enabled and working?
[01:40] <MasterShrek> slackware ftw!
[01:40] <Creationist> Cooner750: Wine runs at native Linux speed, yes.  The programs running THROUGH Wine do not quite run at native Windows speed ;)
[01:41] <Alucard85> Well, I'll try Fedora then. Does fedora use KDE or GNOME?
[01:41] <ephemient> dZen|n|: if the theme was imported correctly, it will show up in the themes list.  selecting a theme from the themes list should change the active theme
[01:41] <Creationist> poeloq: Type this in the terminal:  glxinfo | grep direct
[01:41] <MasterShrek> gnome by default
[01:41] <rbil> poelog: you could also open a terminal and run glxgears
[01:41] <leslian> Honestly, I don't remember the default- you can use either.
[01:41] <Cooner750> Steam seems to be doing pretty good
[01:41] <baphs> good ppl I have the wierdest problem with rtl8139 anyone can help?
[01:41] <ephemient> poeloq: glxinfo | grep direct
[01:41] <Cooner750> I copied my HL2 GCF file over from the Windows partition
[01:41] <dZen|n|> ephemient: okey, then it dosn't :D
[01:41] <leslian> It may even come with both and you can choose.
[01:41] <inversekinetix> Pelo, xchat stops responding when the file transfer dialog opens
[01:41] <Cooner750> so it dosen't have to download it
[01:41] <emja> can anyone explain the difference between the rc#.d and rcS.d directories? if I have identical symlinks in each directory could that explain my problems with NFS starting correctly on bootup?
[01:41] <dZen|n|> I am using compiz
[01:41] <Creationist> poeloq: Or what rbil said ;)
[01:41] <poeloq> Creationist: it says direct rendering: yes
[01:41] <Pelo> inversekinetix, check the prefs , make it automaticaly accept
[01:41] <ephemient> dZen|n|: is emerald running?
[01:41] <Creationist> poeloq: Then you're good :)
[01:42] <Alucard85> Well, thanks you guys for your help

[01:42] <dZen|n|> how can i chech that
[01:42] <poeloq> Creationist: thanks
[01:42] <NSM> I have 3 security/hardening problems I can't find an answer for.  1) accepting icmp redirection.  2) permitting transmission of ip packets w/ invalid addresses.  3) permitting source routing from incoming packets.  Would these be in /proc/sys/net?

[01:42] <Pelo> emja,  different levels for different priorities
[01:42] <inversekinetix> Pelo its already set to auto recieve

[01:42] <allenc> pelo:gsku not found
[01:42] <emja> Pelo: yes, but rc2 vs rcS?
[01:42] <dZen|n|> ephemient: I have restarted gdm
[01:42] <Pelo> inversekinetix, set another dl folder , like your desktop maybe
[01:43] <Creationist> poeloq: Go to System->Preferences->Appearance... "Effects" tab.
[01:43] <dZen|n|> ephemient: I did that in alt - f2
[01:43] <Pelo> emja,  rc2 gets loaded before rc5
[01:43] <rbil> allenc: try gksudo
[01:43] <emja> Pelo: not rc5. rcS

[01:43] <baphs> any one?
[01:43] <wastrel> Creationist: what mail client do you use?
[01:43] <emja> does *anyone* know the purpose of /etc/rcS.d? (note that is the letter S, not the numeric 5)
[01:43] <inversekinetix> Pelo the transfer wont start
[01:44] <Creationist> wastrel: I use Gmail
[01:44] <Pelo> inversekinetix, sent, if that doesn't work , try setting for manual accept , might solve the problem if you hve to say yes
[01:44] <Pelo> inversekinetix, change the way you accept and tell me when you are done
[01:44] <Cooner750> Anyone here able to play any games via Steam?
[01:44] <Cooner750> in Wine
[01:44] <Creationist> Cooner750: In Windows ;)
[01:44] <ephemient> emja: /etc/rcS.d/README tells you what that directory is for
[01:44] <poeloq> Creationist: it said something about composite  not working
[01:44] <Creationist> Cooner750: The ONLY reason I keep window is gaming and video editing.
[01:44] <RequinB4> someone was on earlier talking about getting steam working
[01:44] <emja> ephemient: ahh rcap. thx. sorry
[01:44] <inversekinetix> Pelo done

[01:45] <Pelo> inversekinetix, there you go
[01:45] <inversekinetix> Pelo not bad speed too
[01:45] <inversekinetix> will do
[01:45] <Creationist> Cooner750: Same here.  But I've tried running games with Wine and they either look terrible and play very slowly, or they don't run at all.
[01:45] <ephemient> dZen|n|: hmm, so emerald is running
[01:45] <inversekinetix> Pelo whats your connection?
[01:45] <RequinB4> Actually wine is fine with games if the games are fairly old
[01:46] <dZen|n|> ephemient: yeah
[01:46] <Creationist> RequinB4: Right.... circa 1990's ;)

[01:46] <Cooner750> The only game I have ever got to run in Wine is GTA: SA
[01:46] <r00tintheb0x> RequinB4 Wine can play new games too... with some work.
[01:46] <RequinB4> creationist - don't dis my game shelf
[01:46] <r00tintheb0x> brb
[01:46] <dZen|n|> should I restart system ?
[01:46] <baphs> Anyone some help? ubuntu 7.10, net working but tcp sessions die unexpectdly -> no possilbe to browse or actually do anything except for ping...
[01:46] <Cooner750> And it worked except for some textures were severely screwed
[01:46] <inversekinetix> Pelo, lol the window was hiding some of the dialog, i thought you were uploading at 2.6MB/s
[01:46] <macksting> ...Okay. So I'm new to all this. How long is the FAQ?
[01:46] <Creationist> RequinB4: Not dissing it... just saying it totally differs from mine.  Besides, almost all Linux games appear to be from that era too
[01:46] <Cooner750> I'd like a connection with an upload speed of 2.6Mb/s :P
[01:47] <Cooner750> MB*
[01:47] <wastrel> there's a faq?
[01:47] <Pelo> inversekinetix, I can't afford that on a janitor's salary
[01:47] <RequinB4> what i've found is that newer games will work very well until you hit one previously unkown part of a game that requires windoze and it crashes
[01:47] <ephemient> dZen|n|: I don't know what the issue is, then
[01:47] <inversekinetix> luckily bandwidth is next to free here.  its actually only $10 a month more to get fibre than it is dialup
[01:48] <Creationist> inversekinetix: Wow... where?  I may need to relocate.
[01:48] <emja> ephemient: thx. deleting the symlinks from rcS.d seems to have fixed the problem
[01:48] <inversekinetix> Pelo, np, Im grateful for any help
[01:48] <inversekinetix> Creationist: japan
[01:48] <Creationist> inversekinetix: Okay, nevermind ;)

[01:49] <inversekinetix> this is actually the first to send something via irc
[01:49] <macksting> Wastrel: According to the topic, yes. I like the idea of getting to know Linux, but the topic might be scaring me off a touch.
[01:49] <baphs> does anyone here actually know anything except for directing ppl to manuals and helping on startup scripts? this supposed to be some support channel no?
[01:50] <Jessid> Hello. How can I make a usb mouse work in ubuntu 7.10? It used to work in ubuntu 7.06...
[01:50] <Dr_willis> baphs,  its amazing what we know.. when someone asks a decent question
[01:50] <Pelo> inversekinetix, well you are not getting pretty much as good as I can send,  ~80kB/s
[01:50] <wastrel> macksting: i never read the topic :]  jump on in with your question if you've got one.
[01:50] <Creationist> baphs: Yes, it is.  But many times you can learn a lot more a lot quicker by reading a manual.
[01:50] <inversekinetix> Pelo, i dont know what youre talking about (8(|)
[01:50] <Burlynn> baphs, yes, thats completely run by volunteers ..
[01:50] <ephemient> baphs: most people are not experts on everything either
[01:50] <RequinB4> baphs - everyone on here is a volunteer and the experts aren't on 24/7 ;)
[01:51] <Cooner750> Heh
[01:51] <Creationist> ephemient: Huh?  You don't know everything about everything dealing with Linux and all it's intricate working parts?
[01:51] <Cooner750> HL2 works
[01:51] <Creationist> ephemient: WHat good are you? ;)
[01:51] <rbil> baphs: what are u seeking?
[01:51] <ephemient> Creationist: I'm usually pretty good at lurking.  shall I go back?  :D
[01:52] <Creationist> ephemient: Nah, lurking is my domain and I prefer to remain a loner.
[01:52] <Burlynn> hide in the corner!
[01:52] <allenc> pelo: it says that this line in fstab is bad...  //HAL-9000/Server C  /media/cristc  smbfs  credentials=~/.smbcredentials,dmask=777,fmask=777  0  0
[01:52] <baphs> obviously and burlynn..obviously :) now does any of you good volunteering souls know why would clean 7.10 buntu let me establish tcp sessions but kill them randomaly?
[01:52] <Dr_willis> allenc,  ive seen issues in the past with spaces in share/machine names.
[01:53] <rbil> baphs: going thru a router?
[01:53] <baphs> im on rtl8139, no fw or any filtering is on, it connects thru eci router
[01:53] <Pelo> allenc, I realy don'T know enough about samba , Dr_willis seems to knwo more , there is also a #samba chanel
[01:53] <macksting> I'm trying to get Rhythmbox to understand mp3s. Apparently there's a codec or something (I'm talking from my behind here) that's used by Rhythmbox, and a different one used by Aleph One.
[01:53] <baphs> ive trying resetting the mtu or lowering the net to 10base ...no use.
[01:53] <Dr_willis> All i know about samba - i learned by reading the 'using samba' book  - WHICH is in the 'samba-doc' package. :P
[01:54] <baphs> same laptop works with all other os/prev buntu versions
[01:54] <Burlynn> macksting, got all the gstreamer codecs installed?
[01:54] <marcel> what is a root directory?
[01:54] <macksting> I'm more interested in having mp3 capability in a music player than in a Marathon game; as long as the latter has sound, I'm fine.
[01:54] <Cooner750> my server keeps blocking Valve's servers
[01:54] <Odd-rationale> macksting: did you try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras?

[01:55] <RequinB4> ubuntu is swahili
[01:55] <poeloq> when trying to turn effects on, I get ""The composite extension is not available"" what does that mean?!?!
[01:55] <macksting> When I tried to follow the instructions for gstreamer, it kept making assumptions about my knowledge and what files I possess. I ended up with about a dozen tabs open trying to string together something sensible. Failed.
[01:56] <Dr_willis> poeloq,  means you dont have your videocard/drivers set up properly
[01:56] <thursday> This issue is pretty comp it seems.
[01:56] <macksting> I believe that was on the above-mentioned restricted formats page.
[01:56] <ephemient> macksting: the RestrictedFormats page does offer a solution that does not involve the command-line
[01:56] <macksting> Throw on top of this the fact that the sudo apt-get command failed, and I'm understandably at a loss.
[01:56] <macksting> Ah.I'm curious, though. Why wouldn't the terminal attempt work?
[01:57] <poeloq> Dr_willis: do u know what i need to do?
[01:57] <Cooner750> hmm
[01:57] <Cooner750> Steam.exe became a Zombie
[01:57] <ephemient> macksting: either you mistyped something, or you didn't enable universe and multiverse repositories first
[01:57] <macksting> ...how do I do that?
[01:57] <Dr_willis> poeloq,  be sure you have the proper 3d video card drivers for your card installed for a start.
[01:57] <Odd-rationale> macksting: try typing "sudo apt-get update" first
[01:57] <ephemient> macksting: System > Administration > Software Sources
[01:57] <Dr_willis> !nvidia | poeloq
[01:58] <ephemient> macksting: it should do the equivalent of "apt-get update" automatically, I believe
[01:58] <ubotu> poeloq: To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[01:58] <RequinB4> wow lag Dr_willis
[01:58] <poeloq> Dr_willis: the ones from restricted drivers are not enough?
[01:59] <Dr_willis> poeloq,  i have no idea what you have done, and what card, or other things.. I normally use the 'restricted-manager' tool to install the video card drivers. ATI cards need extta work to get  compiz going i recall. I dont use ATI.
[01:59] <macksting> Ephemient: I follow so far, sorta. I tried that update thing a moment ago and after a lot of little 0 50 100%'s, it complained that I need to run sudo apt-get update...
[01:59] <|trex|> I'm trying to install Ubuntu Gutsy on an inspiron 1100 but gdm simply won't load from the live CD.  It complains about some low graphics resolution business.
[01:59] <macksting> As of now, I have Software Sources open.
[02:00] <macksting> Wait, no %s on that one.
[02:00] <macksting> What is this mess...?
[02:00] <ephemient> macksting: you need "restricted" checked; "universe" and "multiverse" are optional
[02:01] <peacepipejv> help with wine. i uninstalled a program I had running under wine, reinstalled it, now it wont run. It just sits in the taskbar.
[02:01] <ephemient> macksting: it does give descritive names, does it not?
[02:01] <macksting> It's all checked except source code, which has a -.
[02:01] <allenc> pelo: there are a ton of names in the samba channel but no one has typed anything... is there a time of day it is active?
[02:01] <ephemient> macksting: okay, that's fine, you can hit "close"
[02:01] <macksting> Sadly, it was like that when I opened it.
[02:01] <Odd-rationale> |trex|: did you try booting in safe graphics mode?
[02:01] <macksting> So no quick fix there.
[02:01] <ephemient> macksting: now go through Applications > Add/Remove Applications
[02:01] <Klanticus> how do I update a kernel module?
[02:02] <RequinB4> allenc - if people are idling might as well just leave a msg on
[02:02] <macksting> Say, would you like a sample of the mess it gave me after I tried to do that apt-get update, but before complaining that I needed to do an apt-get update?
[02:02] <ephemient> macksting: select "Show: All available applications" and type "restricted" into the search box
[02:02] <Pelo> allenc, you'll have to find outon your own I'm affraid, i don't go there much
[02:02] <macksting> Okay, *that* I shoulda noticed!
[02:02] <allenc> pelo: ok thanks
[02:02] <macksting> Danke.
[02:03] <allenc> RequinB4: How do I leave a message?
[02:03] <inversekinetix> can anyone understanding why resizing a MAME window would cause ubuntu to become totally unresponsive?
[02:03] <macksting> Wow... I can't help, Inverse, but that sounds really frustrating.
[02:03] <RequinB4> allenc - well, what has worked for me was to type into the input box and then press enter
[02:03] <NSM> Anybody familiar with editing  /etc/sysctl.conf and the files in /proc/sys/net?  I think this is where I have my problem.
[02:03] <macksting> Hey, Eph. I found it. Apply?
[02:03] <RequinB4> but depending on your IRC client it could be a button that says send :D
[02:04] <RequinB4> anyone idling will see your message when they come back to the comp
[02:04] <ephemient> macksting: yes
[02:04] <peacepipejv> help with wine. i uninstalled a program I had running under wine, reinstalled it, now it wont run. It just sits in the taskbar.
[02:05] <macksting> So far so good. Still strange it didn't work with the terminal. I'm more comfortable learning command line.

[02:06] <allenc> RequinB4: oh i thought there was a special way to "leave a message"... ok, thanks
[02:06] <macksting> Curious. Any idea why the help page didn't have the "install" bit?
[02:06] <tim-laptop> Im having problems with my Atheros Wi-Fi Driver. Can someone help me fix it?
[02:06] <wastrel> man pages are good for reference but not generally for tutorial purposes
[02:06] <ephemient> macksting: I'm not sure.  I thought it used to be in there, but my memory might be faulty
[02:06] <RequinB4> allenc - yeah forgive th sarcm
[02:06] <KI4IKL|Laptop> For some reason, my Power Manager isn't working properly on my laptop. It isn't showing the batter bar when it is unplugged, is there a sensor driver or something I need to install.
[02:06] <RequinB4> sarcasm
[02:06] <macksting> Well, if it was supposed to say "install," and I copied it verbatim, that might be my problem!
[02:07] <ephemient> NSM: /usr/src/linux/Documentation/networking/ip-sysctl.txt documents those sysctl tunables (but Ubuntu doesn't install linux-sources by default)
[02:07] <ephemient> NSM: you should be able to find them online though
[02:07] <tim-laptop> Can someone help me fix my Atheros Wi-Fi?
[02:07] <NSM> ephemient: thanks.
[02:08] <ephemient> macksting: System Sources edited your /etc/apt/sources.list (and ran apt-get update after); Add/Remove ran "apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras"
[02:08] <macksting> So I should ignore its complaints?

[02:11] <tim-laptop> Im fine on a wired connection like right now, but I have noticed that on laptops, Ubuntu doesnt come with Wi-Fi fixes to get online imemediately.
[02:11] <macksting> Now for a more fascinating question. Anybody here know much about Aleph One? Apparently it needs to be compiled or something.
[02:11] <Dr_willis> tim-laptop,  totally depends on the specific wireless card in the laptop. sadly.
[02:11] <wastrel> what's aleph one?
[02:11] <tim-laptop> It is Atheros I think.

[02:12] <macksting> Wastrel: It's an update to a 1993 Macintosh game, a sorta spiritual predecessor to Halo. Actually, its plot is much more involved than Halo's.

[02:13] <macksting> The third Marathon game (the 1993 Mac game in question) was called Marathon Infinity; infinity being Aleph Null, any sequel would have to deal with Aleph numbers such as Aleph One, etc.
[02:13] <tim-laptop> It returns that.
[02:13] <macksting> Oh.   But when I click adjust time it tells me I don't have the permissions to do that and locks up till I restart x.  Is there a way for me to fix this?
[02:13] <punsad> tim-laptop: yeah... doesn't look like the module is installed
[02:13] <toresn_> i have a problem fetching mail... can i ask here?
[02:13] <macksting> Anyway, darn, no shortcut to understanding. In that case, I'll just ask. Apparently I need a compiler. What can you tell me about Ubuntu and compilers?
[02:13] <macksting> Oh wait. Sorry, I should search the FAQ, shouldn't I.
[02:13] <punsad> toresn_: is it pop mail?
[02:14] <toresn_> punsad: yes
[02:14] <tim-laptop> punsad: So how do I fix it?

[02:15] <macksting> Oh dear, I can't remember the command to get one's hard drive status and I can't think of what kinda keywords to man for.
[02:15] <tim-laptop> Are you asking if I have to insert an internet card?
[02:15] <tim-laptop> If so, no.

[02:17] <macksting> Oooh. Thanks, Eph.
[02:17] <tim-laptop> No.
[02:17] <ephemient> macksting: that's odd, usually ext2/3 reserves 1% of the disk for root-use only, so that unprivledged users can't completely fill the disk
[02:17] <tim-laptop> Only a LAN Cable.
[02:17] <Optimus55> i'm looking for a good dock to replace AWN that can go on the right side of the screen, any suggestions?
[02:17] <ephemient> macksting: I wonder if we turned that off?  or maybe it was a process running as root that filled up the disk.
[02:17] <thursday> I still can't figure it out.
[02:17] <n08l3J> hello ubuntu group,
[02:17] <toresn_> punsad: sending mail works great, but not quite fetching it

[02:18] <thursday> Plus my disc got all scratched

[02:18] <n08l3J> what can i do to recover those settings back ?
[02:18] <tim-laptop> Yes.
[02:18] <macksting> Eph: I dunno. Any idea what we'd turn on? Or why I have to do everything as sudo in what was apparently set up to be an admin account?
[02:18] <Ryan_was_here> tim-laptop: whats your problem?
[02:18] <ephemient> n08l3J: did gnome-settings-daemon crash?
[02:18] <n08l3J> the last thing i remember was the installation of the gtweakUT
[02:18] <punsad> Ryan_was_here: his module for his wifi isn't loaded correctly.  nothing even showing in /proc/net/wireless
[02:18] <n08l3J> it just sits there doing nothing
[02:19] <peacepipejv> i uninstalled a program I had running under wine, reinstalled it, now it wont run. It just sits in the taskbar.
[02:19] <n08l3J> having that loading glass thing kept moving, but i can't click on any of the button except the close
[02:19] <tim-laptop> Well, I cannot connect to the internet using wireless. It works fine on Vista.
[02:19] <wastrel> the admin account is what lets you run sudo :]  non admin can't do that even
[02:19] <Ryan_was_here> punsad: He load it with ndiswrapper?
[02:19] <JT-04> can anyone tell me how to disable ubuntu from checking if my clock is right or not on boot?
[02:19] <macksting> That makes a certain sense.
[02:19] <punsad> tim-laptop: can you answer Ryan_was_here's question?
[02:20] <n08l3J> ephemient: are you getting my problem
[02:20] <tim-laptop> I did.
[02:20] <Ryan_was_here> tim-laptop:  my second question :p
[02:20] <n08l3J> its  kinda hard to explain
[02:20] <tim-laptop> Repeat it please?
[02:20] <tim-laptop> :P
[02:20] <n08l3J> :)
[02:20] <punsad> toresn_: I think I followed these instructions: http://www.linux.com/articles/48771
[02:20] <poeloq> ubotu: !Atheros is is a developer of semiconductors for wireless communications commonly found in laptops. Atheros WiFi chips can be used in Ubuntu using the restricted drivers manager.
[02:20] <Ryan_was_here> Did you load your driver for the wireless card with ndiswrapper?
[02:20] <macksting> Darn. No manual entry for build-essential.
[02:20] <tim-laptop> Im not sute.
[02:20] <punsad> tim-laptop: did you load ndiswrapper?
[02:21] <tim-laptop> sure*
[02:21] <punsad> tim-laptop: that means you didn't
[02:21] <macksting> Is there a quick rundown on what I need to know when compiling using that?
[02:21] <casio1374633> hi , everyone , i' m looking for some documents which view by vim , like vim help . can you give me some help ?
[02:21] <Ryan_was_here> what version did you use for the driver?
[02:21] <ephemient> n08l3J: I have no idea what gtweakUT is or what it does
[02:21] <tim-laptop> Me? And which driver? My Atheros?
[02:21] <RequinB4> what is the advantage of using vi over nano or gedit
[02:21] <punsad> tim-laptop: did you *ever* have wifi working with this current linux install on that laptop?
[02:21] <tim-laptop> No.
[02:21] <wastrel> casio1374633: vimtutor
[02:21] <Ryan_was_here> tim-laptop:  are you new to linux?
[02:22] <ephemient> casio1374633: once you open vim, ":h" will bring you to its help pages
[02:22] <tim-laptop> Yessir.
[02:22] <Ryan_was_here> tim-laptop: ok, well what is the model number of your card?
[02:22] <n08l3J> ephemient: I was reading one of the custimization guide and it prompted me to install gtweakui
[02:22] <ephemient> casio1374633: also, like wastrel says, vimtutor is a good introduction to vim
[02:22] <tim-laptop> Im not sure.
[02:22] <Dr_willis> RequinB4,  there may come a time - whenyou have to use a rescue cd. and vi will be the only editor you can use. :)
[02:22] <punsad> RequinB4: less screwing around with mouse compared to gedit.  it's really good for editing config files.. lets you get in and out real quick
[02:22] <n08l3J> seems like it screwed up something in the UI settings
[02:22] <Ryan_was_here> tim-laptop: join #linuxreality
[02:22] <casio1374633> sorry, maybe i says wrong about i mean
[02:22] <Dr_willis> RequinB4,  once ya learn vi.. you know somtghing ya can put on your resume! :p
[02:22] <Ryan_was_here> punsad: join #linuxreality
[02:22] <Ryan_was_here> its more quiet in there :p easier for me to talk
[02:22] <r00tintheb0x> mmmmmmmmmm vi
[02:22] <Ryan_was_here> not so cluttered
[02:22] <r00tintheb0x> vi rocks
[02:22] <poeloq> Is it possible to use my Ubuntu laptop as a router? The laptop is connected via WiFi to the Internet and I want to connect my voipphone to the RJ45 and send over the WiFi. Possible?
[02:22] <casio1374633> i know :help . and i have an old computer
[02:23] <punsad> Dr_willis: I wouldn't go that far
[02:23] <casio1374633> only can read documents in vim
[02:23] <RequinB4> lol
[02:23] <Dr_willis> note that the default ubuntu installs tiny-vi, you proberly should install the full vi :) for your vi-goodness needs.
[02:23] <LtEmerpo1> hey guys...
[02:23] <casio1374633> but lots of book are pdf
[02:23] <Ryan_was_here> punsad: you want to join to help?
[02:23] <RequinB4> apt-get moo is still my favorite
[02:23] <LtEmerpo1> need massive help
[02:23] <n08l3J> hey LTEmerpol
[02:23] <RequinB4> whats up LtEmerpol?
[02:23] <Dr_willis> RequinB4,  dont for get 'cowsay'
[02:23] <wastrel> macksting: build-essential provides compiler and other utilities needed but normally each individual app will provide build instructions (README or INSTALL file)
[02:23] <NSM> RequinB4: Also, with ksh you can 'set -o vi' and have command line editing too.
[02:23] <punsad> Ryan_was_here: sure ... sounds like he never had it working
[02:23] <casio1374633> i want download some documents which can read by vim
[02:24] <casio1374633> and it is read like read vim help
[02:24] <punsad> tim-laptop: did you say you never goit it working?
[02:24] <Ryan_was_here> yeah he never got it working
[02:24] <Dr_willis> vimtutor is a very well done totoral program for vi :)
[02:24] <LtEmerpo1> ok
[02:24] <LtEmerpo1> well
[02:24] <Ryan_was_here> join #linuxreality to pitch in there. its seriously cluttered here lol
[02:24] <macksting> Wastrel: Gotcha. I'll look for files with those names.
[02:24] <r00tintheb0x> casio1374633 VIM can read anything plaintext
[02:24] <LtEmerpo1> i want compiz to work on 1280x1024.....
[02:24] <tim-laptop> No, I didnt.
[02:24] <punsad> Ryan_was_here: I was going to ask if it worked for him with a live cd.
[02:25] <punsad> tim-laptop: do you still have the vista partition on the laptop?
[02:25] <LtEmerpo1> well first i cant even get there because my screen resolution wont goto 1280x1024
[02:25] <LtEmerpo1> i dont understand why
[02:25] <ephemient> macksting: if you wish to compile a program which is already packaged in Ubuntu, use "sudo apt-get build-dep [package]" to install the dependencies needed to compile that package, and "apt-get source [package]" to download and unpack its source to the current directory
[02:25] <iMac> where can download the dock for ubuntu??
[02:26] <punsad> tim-laptop: you are going to need the windows drivers to get it to work
[02:26] <macksting> Packaged in Ubuntu. What exactly does that mean, if you don't mind my asking?
[02:26] <macksting> So's I know if what I'm talking about is, in fact, packaged in Ubuntu.
[02:26] <tim-laptop> I have the SYS file on my desktop.
[02:26] <LtEmerpo1> this is what my xconf says... pastebin.org/9270
[02:26] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1,  could you get yoru screen to go to 1280x1024 without conpiz running ?
[02:26] <casio1374633> okay, i study latex , and my latex reading book is pdf , i want some books can be read by vim, where can i download it
[02:26] <punsad> tim-laptop: is this a dual boot system?
[02:26] <Ryan_was_here> punsad: Join #linuxreality, we can both give him instructions there, cause if you tell him to do something over here, and I tell him to do something over there it will clash :P
[02:26] <ephemient> macksting: if the package is on one of the sources listed in /etc/apt/sources.list
[02:26] <tim-laptop> punsad: Yes, and please join #linuxreality
[02:26] <LtEmerpo1> yes... i did earlier in the day
[02:26] <RequinB4> casio - you want a .txt book?
[02:26] <_dac_> how does one go from one channel to another ?
[02:27] <LtEmerpo1> no i unchecked it once and now its back to the way it was..
[02:27] <casio1374633> yes ...!
[02:27] <wastrel> casio1374633: you want plaintext ebooks?
[02:27] <casio1374633> right !
[02:27] <ephemient> _dac_: what IRC client are you using?
[02:27] <RequinB4> cascio http://www.eldritchpress.org/nh/sl.txt
[02:27] <macksting> Yeah, I'm afraid it ain't there. Would that it were.
[02:27] <casio1374633> because my computer is too old
[02:27] <wastrel> /usr/share/doc/  has a lot of documentation
[02:27] <MdL054> Hey guys I got an issue... It happens when i boot off the 7.10 cd and try to run/install... I wrote everything out here https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/18651
[02:27] <xristian> how can i convert avi to mpg .. any idea ?
[02:27] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1, it is not impossible that using compiz is requireing more resources and that your card can't handle that rez under that load, didyou ask about it in #compiz-fusion ?
[02:27] <angel__> hi!
[02:27] <MdL054> the people in the forums haven't been able to help me
[02:27] <casio1374633> PII  233Mhz
[02:27] <angel__> hi!
[02:27] <_dac_> do you mean Ubuntu or xchat
[02:27] <casio1374633> thanks ~~
[02:28] <RequinB4> hi angel__
[02:28] <LtEmerpo1> yeah they said come here
[02:28] <ephemient> _dac_: if you are using x-chat, you should be able to join multiple channels and click on their tabs to switch between them
[02:28] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1, lovely,  ps , don't post half links, post the whole thing
[02:28] <macksting> Hmm. A file says "INSTALL.Unix." Linux is Unix-related, right? So is that my file?
[02:28] <xristian> any video fan here ? i need to convert avi to mpg .. any idea ?
[02:28] <marcel> how can I create a user?
[02:29] <Pelo> xristian, avidemux
[02:29] <MdL054> xristian use virtualdub through wine
[02:29] <tritium> marcel: System -> Administration -> Users and Groups
[02:29] <MdL054> or avidemux
[02:29] <ephemient> marcel: System > Administration > Users and Groups
[02:29] <_dac_> okay, when I type/join #kubuntu, nothing happens
[02:29] <LtEmerpo1> http://www.pastebin.org/9270
[02:29] <wastrel> casio1374633: you could try pdftotext on your .pdf document
[02:29] <xristian> i got avidemux,, can u tell the whole route ?
[02:29] <LtEmerpo1> so am i screwed?
[02:29] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1, got xgl installed
[02:30] <LtEmerpo1> do i?
[02:30] <MdL054> xristian - http://www.avidemux.org/admWiki/index.php?title=Main_Page
[02:30] <LtEmerpo1> i dont know
[02:30] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1, what is your video card ?
[02:30] <xristian> i am lost in avidemux,, no idea where to go. can u help
[02:30] <LtEmerpo1> 9600xt ati
[02:30] <RequinB4> xgl is pretty system intensive
[02:30] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: your video card is currently being driven by the "vesa" driver
[02:30] <Pelo> xristian,  on the left side change copy to sometingelse
[02:30] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: vesa has *NO* 3D acceleration
[02:30] <LtEmerpo1> so? whats that mean?
[02:30] <LtEmerpo1> so im screwed..
[02:31] <MdL054> no
[02:31] <marcel> using command line?
[02:31] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: oh wait, I can't read
[02:31] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: looks like you do have fglrx in your config too
[02:31] <MdL054> you need to change to fglrx
[02:31] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1,  you got the vesa driver right now, that ' s a fall back during the install,  you need to get eitehr the restriected driver or the binary for vista
[02:31] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: I can't tell which one is loaded though
[02:31] <Pelo> the binary for ati
[02:31] <LtEmerpo1> im confused..
[02:31] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: even if you had fglrx working, the stable version packaged in Ubuntu does not run Compiz
[02:31] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1,   goto  menu > system > admin > restrected drivers
[02:31] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: fglrx is the binary video driver from AMD for AMD/ATi video cards
[02:32] <MdL054> so I take it no one has any solutions for my issue?
[02:32] <xristian> im following u , what else .. Pelo
[02:32] <markybob> anyone in here having problems with deluge 0.5.7rc1 with invalid handle error and not starting?
[02:32] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: it has never run Compiz until very recently -- and that version is not packaged in Ubuntu stable
[02:32] <LtEmerpo1> ephemient i already have it clicked on.. it says its in use
[02:32] <matthew_> help!  I don't have any Window Border!!!  how do I get it back!?
[02:32] <casio1374633> wastrel: if i trans it from pdf to text , so can i  read it by vim as read it like by pdf ?
[02:32] <Pelo> xristian, that's pretty much it, once you have selected the new format, (if hat is all youw ant to do ) , save as
[02:32]  * macksting will assume so for the moment and just try it.
[02:33] <ephemient> LtEmerpo1: if you want fancy effects, Compiz on top of Xgl on top of fglrx works
[02:33] <xristian> ok i ll try just the way u told me. and be back
[02:33] <xristian> thx
[02:33] <ephemient> matthew_: are you using compiz?
[02:33] <casio1374633> wastrel: PS:as well as ~~
[02:33] <wastrel> casio1374633: assuming the conversion works
[02:33] <ephemient> matthew_: (desktop effects)
[02:33] <LtEmerpo1> okay so how do i do that ephemient?
[02:33] <wers> what's yakuake's gtk counterpart? :D
[02:33] <ephemient> !xgl
[02:33] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[02:33] <matthew_> ephemient:  No, I used to be, but I uninstalled it.  Now when I start my computer I don't have window borders.  But if I can go to the command line and type "metacity" it comes back sometimes.
[02:33] <willytell> has anyone experienced with Certification Authority, PGP, etc.?
[02:33] <MdL054> "ata1.01: Exception eMask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 Action 0x0 Frozen"
[02:33] <MdL054> does anyone know
[02:34] <MdL054> what that means
[02:34] <MdL054> happens during boot off cd
[02:34] <LtEmerpo1> and remember.. i want my resolution to be 1280x1024 can that be done?
[02:34] <MdL054> when i try to install 7.10
[02:34] <casio1374633> wastrel: i tried it before by using software "fbgs " . but it doesn't work well
[02:34] <ephemient> matthew_: what version of Ubuntu did you do this on?
[02:34] <wastrel> it depends on the pdf
[02:34] <paragonc> i just installed 7.10 and i'm having trouble getting my RaLink RT2561/RT61 802.11g PCI  to work
[02:34] <paragonc> it can see my network
[02:34] <paragonc> but it can't connect
[02:35] <marcel> how do I add user using the command line?
[02:35] <matthew_> ephemient:  gutsy
[02:35] <macksting> Um... Okay. How do I tell if I already have SDL stuff installed?
[02:35] <casio1374633> not only need spend lots of time .but also can not read well
[02:35] <markybob> marcel sudo adduser
[02:35] <paragonc> the network doesn't use WPA
[02:35] <wers> how do I cd up one directory? :D
[02:35] <MdL054> cd /
[02:35] <ephemient> matthew_: odd... gutsy installs compiz by default, only starts it on capable video cards, and automatically falls back to metacity...
[02:35] <ephemient> wers: cd ..
[02:35] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1, short answer yes,  lonag anser Id ont, knwo how I'm not familiar enough with the ati restricted driver
[02:35] <ephemient> wers: ".." is "parent directory", "/" is "root directory"
[02:35]  * macksting tried a few obvious ideas, but didn't find much useful.
[02:35] <wers> thanks ephemient  :D
[02:35] <Pelo> LtEmerpo1, www.ubuntuforums.org  www.google.com
[02:35] <MdL054> ephemient is right
[02:35] <MdL054> i was wrong
[02:36]  * macksting 's just a bucket of questions today...
[02:36] <casio1374633> wastrel: do plain-text book download free ? i mean by charge ~~

[02:36] <wers> what's the best gtk yakuake-like app? :D
[02:36] <ephemient> matthew_: hmm.  so the problem is that Gnome is set to load compiz by default
[02:37] <MdL054> ademi = fdisk -ls
[02:37] <MdL054> ademi - its usually hd0,1
[02:37] <Pelo> ADemiG0D,  in grub , hdA,B means  A hdd, B partiton, the numbering starts with 0 ,  so sda3 would be hd0,2
[02:37] <systest> can anyone point me to a doc on disabling avahi?
[02:37] <INTU> there is, and i tried, but it wont work: there is a message "unmount: /media/sda1 mount disagrees with the fstab"

[02:43] <mssever> WuGutsyClan: Saying "Please, someone must know" doesn't help those of us who've just joined or simply weren't watching. Please restate your question.
[02:43] <WuGutsyClan> hey where can I find the library containing ixmlRelaxParser?
[02:43]  * macksting thinks his install attempt might be pinging out. Either that, or it's ****ing youge.
[02:44] <Pelo> macksting, you'll similarly named packages with a -dev at the end
[02:44] <WuGutsyClan> srry I cut and pasted my question 4 times before this
[02:44] <ephemient> matthew_: gconftool-2 -s /desktop/gnome/applications/window_manager/current /usr/bin/metacity -t string
[02:44] <macksting> So I should apt-cache search libsdl dev?
[02:44] <ephemient> matthew_: sorry, it took me a while to look it up
[02:44] <rbil> INTU: in a terminal, unmount that partition by doing .... sudo umount -a /media/sda1
[02:44] <Pelo> WuGutsyClan, synaptic,  do a search form ixml
[02:44] <ephemient> macksting: either that, or use Synaptic's search
[02:44] <macksting> Or synaptic package etc?
[02:44] <macksting> Ah, okay.
[02:44] <mssever> WuGutsyClan: What kind of file is that?
[02:44] <spoilt99> CAN YOU UPDATE TO UBUNTU 7.10 WITH THE CD???
[02:44] <Pelo> spoilt99,  we can read smallcase
[02:44] <diafic> Time for bed. zzz
[02:45] <INTU> rbil will it damage my unbuntu partition to unmount my root partition?
[02:45] <Pelo> !upgrade | spoilt99
[02:45] <WuGutsyClan> I am ./configuring ushare and it gives me this error: hey where can I find the library containing ixmlRelaxParser?
[02:45] <ubotu> spoilt99: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:45] <mssever> spoilt99: With the alternate CD, yes; with the desktop CD, no
[02:45] <macksting> Ah, it can't run while apt-get is doing its thing.
[02:45] <ephemient> macksting: both "apt-get install" and Synaptic will show you "recommended" and "suggested" packages too
[02:45] <RequinB4> spoilt99 stop shoting
[02:45] <macksting> Oh! didn't know that.
[02:45] <rbil> INTU: once unmounted you should be able to use gparted to do what u want with that partition
[02:45] <WuGutsyClan> srry wrong clipboard item
[02:45] <macksting> Danke.
[02:45] <WuGutsyClan> checking for library containing ixmlRelaxParser... no
[02:45] <spoilt99> How do u download it???
[02:45] <Pelo> WuGutsyClan, do a search in synaptic,  search for ixml ,  also install any related -dev package
[02:45] <phoenix_> hey
[02:45] <spoilt99> phoenix_ hey
[02:45] <spoilt99> :)
[02:45] <Pelo> spoilt99,  get the dvd or the alternate cd from www.ubuntu.com
[02:45] <phoenix_> I need an op;)
[02:46] <rbil> INTU: your root is at /dev/sda2 according to your fstab
[02:46] <spoilt99> got it
[02:46] <phoenix_> or someone with the source for ubotu:)
[02:46] <WuGutsyClan> Pelo: the only thing synaptic got me was a perl thing, I do not *beleive I need that, I may be wrong, and what XML related -dev package will give me that thing
[02:46] <spoilt99> cause my synaptic package manager wont update to 7.10
[02:46] <Pelo> !ubotu > phoenix_ check for a private message windows with instructions from ubotu
[02:46] <phoenix_> Everywhere I look online for ubotu is dead.  Does anyone happen to have the source code or know where I can find it?
[02:46] <spoilt99> Pelo
[02:46] <matthew_> ephemient:  thanks a bunch
[02:46] <mssever> WuGutsyClan: What language is this thing written in?
[02:47] <threefcata_> problem after installing gutsy gibbon!!
[02:47] <Eyekon> looking for someone that could help me with a problem i am having with WoW running under Ubuntu ..
[02:47] <spoilt99> ok
[02:47] <WuGutsyClan> Ushare..  I beleive C.. http://ushare.geexbox.org/
[02:47] <macksting> Oh dear. Eph, I sudo apt-get install libsdl1.2-dev'd and all I've got for it is a couple of timeouts.
[02:47] <linxeh> WuGutsyClan: google suggests libupnp
[02:47] <phreakshow> video dies during liveCD run of ubuntu 7.1
[02:47] <rbil> INTU: maybe u should backup and tell us what it is you're trying to accomplish :-) maybe gparted isn't the tool to use
[02:47] <phreakshow> anyone know why?
[02:47] <Pelo> spoilt99,  what version are you on right now ?
[02:47] <ephemient> phreakshow: http://launchpad.net/products/ubuntu-bots/
[02:47] <Eyekon> I do have it working with Wine.. i can get into WoW .. problem im experiencing is with my addons not working properly
[02:47] <macksting> It doesn't seem interested in trying to find another source.
[02:47] <WuGutsyClan> I will try that, I have libupnp-dev
[02:47] <WuGutsyClan> I will try the other libupnp packages
[02:47] <phreakshow> ahh so this isn't a help chan, it's a bot chan?
[02:48] <phoenix_> haha
[02:48] <spoilt99> 7.04 i am
[02:48] <threefcata_> fresh install 7.10 trackpoint doesn't work, anyone knows why?
[02:48] <phoenix_> whoa, that db is nuts
[02:48] <Pelo> phreakshow, we have the bot to give links on common problems
[02:48] <phoenix_> but my database for my bot is no where ready for that format..
[02:48] <phoenix_> who runs the bot?
[02:48] <mssever> WuGutsyClan: If you can't find it in Synaptic, try googling it. You might be able to discover the package name that way. It's also possible that that library isn't in Ubuntu and you'll have to compile it yourself
[02:48] <spoilt99> it worked on the other pc
[02:48] <WuGutsyClan> yes I googled allot msserver, no luck
[02:48] <Pelo> spoilt99,  did you read the links for upgrading ubotu gave you ?
[02:48] <mssever> phoenix_: I believe that Seveas runs it
[02:48] <WuGutsyClan> I will try compiling libupnp
[02:48] <phreakshow> i have ati radeon x1300 pci-e vid card...video dies during liveCD boot ver 7.10
[02:48] <phoenix_> hmm
[02:49] <Pelo> phreakshow,  you need the alternate instal cd to install with a ati card
[02:49] <phreakshow> amd athalon 64 processor, 1.5gb ram, etc.
[02:49] <Loaxes> I have a USB-dongle mouse
[02:49] <Loaxes> any way to get that working?
[02:49] <thjc> Hi all, is there a way of disabling the built in extensions for ubuntus xserver (gutsy, amd64) I dont seem to be able to disable composite and would like to to debug some video issues
[02:49] <phreakshow> Pelo?  I do?
[02:49] <phreakshow> why?
[02:49] <phoenix_> k, well, I can't find the source for the life of me, pretty much any link to the source is down..
[02:49] <mssever> WuGutsyClan: And the program's docs don't mention the name of the required library?
[02:49] <lakin> Can I use dd to write a .iso file directly to a partition?
[02:49] <Pelo> phreakshow, cause ati doesnt, provide F0ss drivers
[02:49] <threefcata_> fresh install 7.10 trackpoint doesn't scroll, i tried editing xorg.conf as said online but no luck, anyone knows why?
[02:49] <WuGutsyClan> libupnp, but I have that
[02:49] <macksting> Revise: Not super-urgent, but I'd prefer to figure out what's wrong with this before I have to leave for my movie lest I forget where I left off. I'm trying to get SDL components and apt-get's failing to connect to the server or whatever it is. I don't know how to cancel.
[02:49] <macksting> Or if I shou.d.
[02:49] <spoilt99> no
[02:50] <spoilt99> what is UBOTU?????
[02:50] <Eyekon> i realize there is quite a few people in here and alot of "threads" going on all at once.. if you are familiar with running WoW on ubuntu, i could use some help getting my Addons working.. i have WoW working, just my addons arent working properly...  please send me a /msg
[02:50] <phreakshow> maybe i should take this as a sign and stick to windows lol...ah well i'll try the alt cd..ty pelo
[02:50] <ephemient> macksting: you can Ctrl-C to stop
[02:50] <Pelo> phreakshow,   the alternate isntall cd will install a vesa drivere that will allow you a gui when you boot after that you can install restricteddriver for your ati card or the binary
[02:50] <macksting> Okay. So *now* I'll try Synaptic.
[02:50] <macksting> Danke.
[02:50] <Pelo> spoilt99,  ubotu is a bot, we use it to give ppl links
[02:50] <Pelo> !upgrade | spoilt99
[02:50] <ubotu> spoilt99: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[02:50] <mssever> WuGutsyClan: So the file you're looking for is part of libupnp, but for some reason configure can't find it?
[02:50] <Pelo> spoilt99, I don'T allow private msg, please talk to me in the channel
[02:51] <WuGutsyClan> I will try compiling libupnp myself
[02:51] <threefcata_> fresh install 7.10 trackpoint doesn't scroll, i tried editing xorg.conf as said online but no luck, anyone knows why?
[02:51] <fsufitch> hey guys i got a problem
[02:51] <RequinB4> Pelo either get a new keyboard or say "do not" >.>
[02:51] <macksting> Darn. Synaptic's come up short so far.
[02:51] <fsufitch> just 30 mins ago all my X died for no apparent reason
[02:51] <Pelo> RequinB4,  or you can learn to live with it
[02:52] <fsufitch> and it started complaining about libexpat.so.0 missing
[02:52] <RequinB4> Heh, just a little sarcasm
[02:52] <RequinB4> cool down
[02:52] <INTU> Rbil: i have a dual boot... i need to reinstall windows on my NTFS partion
[02:52] <ephemient> WuGutsyClan: libupnp 1.4.3 is packaged in Gutsy as libupnp2 and libupnp-dev; do you need to compile it?
[02:52] <mssever> !oneline | fsufitch
[02:52] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about oneline - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi

[02:52] <phoenix_> friiiig
[02:52] <INTU> rbil, this is why i need to format my ntfs, to reinstall windows
[02:52] <rbil> INTU: that is a job since windows will overwrite your mbr
[02:52]  * macksting shrugs.
[02:52] <WuGutsyClan> I am now compiling libup 1.6.1
[02:52] <fsufitch> ok thx
[02:52] <macksting> No better time to leave off and come back to it later.
[02:52] <WuGutsyClan> and i have 7.04 Ubuntu Server :(
[02:52] <INTU> ?! why?? how do i avoid that?
[02:52] <macksting> Thanks for the brief tour, I'll try to retain it all!
[02:53] <Pelo> macksting, g'night
[02:53] <rbil> INTU: you don't need to format ntfs for the windows partition, as an install of xp will do that automatically
[02:53] <WuGutsyClan> I got libupnp-dev ephemient
[02:53] <macksting> Yeah, might be back later. Thanks again.
[02:53] <rbil> INTU: but you'll lose your mbr.
[02:53] <dwxreaper> ubuntu: are you better than windows
[02:53] <EdwardXP> I need 2,000 dollars for computer upgrades..
[02:53] <ephemient> INTU: Windows install *always* overwrites the MBR
[02:53] <EdwardXP> please donate to me lol
[02:53] <ephemient> INTU: unfortunately, there is no way around it
[02:53] <INTU> mbr = ??
[02:53] <phoenix_> hmmm
[02:53] <ephemient> INTU: master boot record
[02:53] <INTU> i see

[02:54] <mssever> WuGutsyClan: I don't know what you mean by ephemient; is that a package name?
[02:54] <xwinders> EdwardXP: here's 17 cents to your cause
[02:54] <mssever> WuGutsyClan: OK, good

[02:55] <Pelo> ephemient,  apparently your nick is also the name of an app

[02:56] <fsufitch> so... on one line: all my X server crashed about 1/2 hr ago; whenever i tried starting an xterm it complained about libexpat.so.0 not existing; the way i noticed something was wrong is i tried to restart my pidgin and it was just printing "Core Dump (0)"; now i rebooted my computer, and no X server will start up; i only have my 6 ttys available; thank goodness for irssi. can anybody help?
[02:56] <ephemient> EdwardXP: xchat-gnome is nice for a GUI client, and irssi is nice for a console client
[02:57] <EdwardXP> i know but i need a interactive client
[02:57] <phoenix_> Does anyone know what's the best time to see Seveas online at?
[02:57] <phoenix_> or know how I can get ahold of him?
[02:57] <ADemiG0d> i cant reinstall grub
[02:57] <mssever> fsufitch: Anything interesting in ~/.xsession-errors?
[02:57] <Pelo> fsufitch, try reconfigureing xserver ?
[02:57] <ADemiG0d> i get error 21 every time
[02:57] <EdwardXP> too doodle and live voice chat
[02:57] <fsufitch> mssever: let me check
[02:57] <ephemient> fsufitch: maybe "sudo apt-get install --reinstall libexpat1"
[02:57] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, what partiton is ubuntu on ? the devtree ?
[02:58] <fsufitch> ephemient, Pelo, i'll try mssever's xsession errors first
[02:58] <ADemiG0d> its on /dev/sda1
[02:58] <dahitokiri> is there a version of ubuntu that's more "bleeding edge" than the standard?
[02:58] <ephemient> dahitokiri: see #ubuntu+1
[02:58] <mssever> dahitokiri: Hardy
[02:58] <linux88> Ok, so i have an external harddrive, and i am trying to delete the contents, but it doesnt let me and it wont let me unmount it
[02:58] <dahitokiri> where can i get that?
[02:58] <ephemient> dahitokiri: no CD yet.  you can upgrade to it from an existing install
[02:58] <mssever> dahitokiri: /join #ubuntu+1
[02:59] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, that would be  hd0,0,  when you get to the grub menu,  select the ubuntu entry in the list and hit e for edit,  then select the root line and hit e for edit,  change the hd... for hd0,0, then hit enter and b for boot
[02:59] <ephemient> linux88: you should be able to right-click it on the desktop or Nautilus's sidebar and select "unmount"
[02:59] <Pelo> ADemiG0d,  adter that if you boot correctly go and edit /boot/grub/menu.lst to make the change permanent
[02:59] <mssever> linux88: Why won't it let you unmount? Is it busy?
[03:00] <fsufitch> mssever: should i try looking at the bottom or top of the error log?
[03:00] <ADemiG0d> i cant get into the grub menu w/o having an external HD attatched
[03:00] <frost0> when i replaced my toolbar on the bottom...i can no longer maximize minimized windows because they just disappear...no bar on the bottom....any ideas guys?
[03:00] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, is ubunutu installed on an external hdd ?
[03:00] <linux88> ephemient i did that. mssever i dont know, it says something is being used. but nothing is
[03:00] <mssever> fsufitch: dunno where th error would be. More likely to be at the bottom
[03:00] <ADemiG0d> (i installed ubuntu on an external Now i get grub error 21 when booting from internal with no external attatched
[03:00] <mwilliam13> how do you get rid of the "zoom follow mouse" if you inadvertantly press "super" + "r"?
[03:00] <ADemiG0d> yeah its installed on the external
[03:00] <mssever> linux88: Well, that's why you can't unmount
[03:00] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, here is why ,  grub is in two parts
[03:01] <ADemiG0d> ok
[03:01] <fsufitch> at the bottom it's just a series of QPainter errors, some about a begin() failing and some about an end() failing because the begin() failed
[03:01] <linux88> mssever nm  jsut rebooted it and now i can delete
[03:01] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, stage one on the boot hdd, stage 2 on the hdd with ubuntu on it,  stage one refers to the menu.lst on stage to to get you the boot menu
[03:01] <frost0> Pelo, when i replaced my toolbar on the bottom...i can no longer maximize minimized windows because they just disappear...no bar on the bottom....any ideas
[03:02] <mssever> linux88: For future reference, fuser will tell you what's using your partition
[03:02] <ephemient> linux88: or lsof
[03:02] <ADemiG0d> this is obviously bad, what do i need to fix it so i can boot from the internal hdd w/o an external?
[03:02] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, you need to dl the supergrub cd to change the mbr on your internal boot hdd back to the original windows mbr,  and then you can install a statge 1 on the external hdd, and boot from it when you nee dto start ubuntu
[03:02] <masmota> anyone got svideo out working?  i see the computer "booting up" on the tv, but when X kicks in, the television "flashes" but stays blank.
[03:02] <fsufitch> mssever: any idea about the QPainter errors?
[03:02] <ephemient> masmota: what happens after running "xrandr --auto" ?
[03:02] <linux88> mssever ephemient ok thanks
[03:03] <Pelo> frost0, right cilck on an empty space on the bottom panel, select add to pannel, and instll windows list
[03:03] <mwilliam13>
[03:03] <mssever> fsufitch: Not a clue
[03:03] <mwilliam13> how do you get rid of the "zoom follow mouse" if you inadvertantly press "super" + "r"?
[03:03] <masmota> ephemient:  dunno, gimme like 2 mins and i'll tell ya :)
[03:03] <ephemient> mwilliam13: Super+1
[03:03] <ADemiG0d> holy hell, Pelo, is there a site with instructions on that?
[03:03] <mwilliam13> i love you...  thank you!
[03:03] <ADemiG0d> I never had windows installed in the first place
[03:03] <Pelo> ADemiG0d, ubotu will give you a bunch of links,  last link, toward the bottom of the page
[03:03] <Pelo> !grub | ADemiG0d
[03:03] <ubotu> ADemiG0d: 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
[03:03] <fsufitch> mssever: that's bad; i'll try the reconfigure stuff now
[03:04] <frost0> Pelo, thank you very much
[03:04] <masmota> ephemient:  it didnt produce any output
[03:04] <masmota> ephemient:  and no effect
[03:04] <mssever> fsufitch: have you tried typing startx from a console?
[03:04] <mssever> fsufitch: never mind, reconfiguring is a better option
[03:04] <linux88> how do i list my hard drives?
[03:04] <Inverse> grrrr, why does grub break and reset my bios if it gets interrupted during boot
[03:04] <linux88> so i can mount
[03:04] <poseidon> I'm trying to write an image file to a cd, how am I supposed to mount the cd though?
[03:04] <aubrey> what software can i use to add music to my zune?
[03:04] <ephemient> linux88: cat /proc/partitions
[03:04] <poseidon> a cd image file .iso
[03:04] <mssever> linux88: liik in /dev/disk
[03:05] <spoilt99> i cant upgrade to 7.10 in my update manager!!!
[03:05] <spoilt99> i dont know why
[03:05] <ephemient> poseidon: you can't mount the blank CD you're burning to
[03:05] <linux88> ephemient can i get more info with that command
[03:05] <aubrey> can somebody help me as to what software i should use for my zune? mp3, and video player?
[03:05] <poseidon> ephemient, what am I supposed to do?
[03:05] <ephemient> spoilt99: try "gksu 'update-manager -d'" ?
[03:05] <Rian-Davide> is there any customized ubuntu distros like ubuntu mint that can support a broadcom wireless modem right off of th live cd and one that also has a bit torrent client?
[03:06] <hockeyfan5000> aubrey if someone knows the answer, they will get to you
[03:06] <Pelo> aubrey,  if your zune mounts as a usb flash drive just drag drop to it
[03:06] <fsufitch> mssever: returns a few lines saying: "/sbin/ldconfig.real: /usr/lib/libexpat.so.0 is not an ELF file - it has the wrong magic bytes at the start."
