[02:54] <BinaryFu> afallenhope: Ugh...I would have to dig it up from the grave and dust it off, I have not bothered with such things in too long. :) Perhaps someone else can help you with that one, sorry mate.
[02:54] <afallenhope>  or it could be sudo apt-get install BitchX
[02:54] <Gr34t3st> Steve-cal: Thank you
[02:54] <Housefly7k> Still trying to setup dual-monitors on my laptop, any help would be appreciated

[02:54] <mixter> any help installing a nvidia MCP67 Ethernet rev2a) driver?
 'with screen works great with ssh' what do you mean with screen
[02:54] <Housefly7k> Just help in figuring out wether my laptop will be able to or not would be great
[02:54] <Starnestommy> hisingh1: screen is a program that lets you start terminal sessions, then detach them and leave them running in the background
[02:54] <alan_m> !sound > cdsmithu1 please see pm and try.
[02:54] <afallenhope> I didn't even know irsii had a gui
[02:54] <afallenhope> lol
 what are the commands i use to work ircII
[02:55] <hisingh1> <Starnestommy how do i get screen
[02:55] <node357> afallenhope, irssi had a GUI but it was terrible
[02:55] <hisingh1> <Starnestommy apt-get??
[02:55] <Starnestommy> hisingh1: sudo apt-get install screen.
[02:55] <BinaryFu> pen: Yeah...it's just really a pain in my backside that they keep coming up with servers to "fix" the "problem" between ALSA and OSS. The problem being...the furry toothed programmers who REFUSE to give up OSS, just because it's "FREE" as in beer, and the audio fans who like to hear stuff come out of their speakers who don't care that ALSA is closed source.
[02:55] <d4t4min3r> Starnestommy: did you see my errors
[02:56] <Starnestommy> d4t4min3r: I did
[02:56] <wishie> wtf
[02:56] <wishie> OSS open ? ALSA closed ?
[02:56] <d4t4min3r> Starnestommy: just making sure
[02:56] <Starnestommy> d4t4min3r: and I'm trying to figure out how to fix them
[02:56] <BinaryFu> wishie: Question?
[02:56] <mixter> Starnestommy can i pm?
[02:56] <d4t4min3r> Starnestommy: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install medibuntu-keyring && sudo apt-get update
[02:56] <d4t4min3r> Starnestommy: is that right?
[02:56] <wishie> BinaryFu: yeah. how did you come to that conclusion
[02:56] <d4t4min3r> i should try that maybe
[02:56] <Starnestommy> d4t4min3r: it is
[02:56] <BinaryFu> wishie: I read up on it?
 ok what are the cammands used to work ircII
[02:57] <Starnestommy> hisingh1: I don't use ircII

[02:57] <Starnestommy> mixter: I'm a little busy right now
[02:57] <mixter> i understand
 what are the commands you use in ircII
[02:57] <wishie> BinaryFu: what is "open" about OSS (apart from its "free" branch) ? How is ALSA closed source, when i submitted patches to it just a few hours ago
[02:57] <BinaryFu> wishie: And found that ALSA uses some closed modules in it's makeup and OSS is OPEN SOURCE SOUND?
[02:57] <pen> BinaryFu, btw, if you switch back to alsa
[02:57] <afallenhope> it's irssi
[02:57] <pen> BinaryFu, how do you deal with OSS apps?
[02:58] <afallenhope> personally I like bitchx
[02:58] <pen> BinaryFu, with pulseaudio I can say padsp
[02:58] <Starnestommy> BinaryFu: ALSA itself is open, but some drivers are closed
[02:58] <BinaryFu> pen: alsa_oss
[02:58] <ex777> Is Emerald compat. w/ ubuntu 8.x ?
[02:58] <pen> BinaryFu, works?
[02:58] <ex777> Is Emerald compat. w/ ubuntu 8.x ?
[02:58] <BinaryFu> pen: It works very well.
[02:58] <jtaylor13> I need help.I am using my sprint u727 wireless card as we speak.BU.and my  fire fox is saying not online.All my other services works.since i am talking to you
[02:58] <pen> BinaryFu, cool
[02:58] <wishie> ALSA has 2 main methods of OSS compatibility
[02:58] <pen> BinaryFu, which guide do you follow to remove pulseaudio?
[02:58] <pen> BinaryFu, I think maybe I should give it a try
[02:59] <particle_man> hello everyone
[02:59] <BinaryFu> pen: I personally don't remove it, I just cut it off at the knees by telling the sound system to only use ALSA.
[02:59] <bittin> Hi particle_man
[02:59] <d4t4min3r> any ideas Starnestommy
[02:59] <ex777> anyone konw if emerald is compat with ubuntu 8.x, yes/no/maybe?
[02:59] <alan_m> !repeat | ex777
[02:59] <jtaylor13> group: Fire fox is saying it is off line but i am online tru my sprint u727 wireless card.What should i do.
[02:59] <particle_man> just loaded up Hardy, installed all updates and everything, and ctrl-f doesn't work in Firefox
[02:59] <pen> BinaryFu, you mean in sound settings you make everything alsa?
[02:59] <Starnestommy> d4t4min3r: did you run this: sudo wget http://www.medibuntu.org/sources.list.d/hardy.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list
[02:59] <BinaryFu> pen: Saves me time and headache, especially when I have a terabyte of storage, it doesn't take up much room. :)
[02:59] <BinaryFu> pen: Yep.
[02:59] <Steve-cal> jtaylor13: Did Firefox ever work yet for you?
[02:59] <pen> BinaryFu, cool
[02:59] <Housefly7k> Cannot find a decent guide for dual monitors.....any clues where to start...especially to check if my card supports it?
[03:00] <johnny_> how do i figure out what drive i need for my ati graphics card?
[03:00] <particle_man> it brings up the search bar, but it can't find anything, nor does it autosearch for text.  I also dled firefox 3rc1 and installed in a separate directory, with no luck
[03:00] <particle_man> works fine in Nautilus though
[03:00] <wishie> why is everyone so quick to give crap to pulseaudio ?
[03:00] <mixter> it says i cant us ea graphics card because of proprietary drivers
[03:00] <particle_man> anyway ideas?
[03:00] <particle_man> any ideas rather
[03:00] <BinaryFu> wishie: Here's a thought, because it doesn't always work yet.
[03:00] <BinaryFu> wishie: And ALSA does.
[03:00] <Speedy> wishie,  i think you need sudo rm /rf /bin
[03:00] <wishie> perhaps if it was setup to work for most apps out of the box, and its helper applications were installed by default, itd work
[03:00] <pen> BinaryFu, btw, what packages should I install for alsa oss
[03:00] <d4t4min3r> Starnestommy: yea just did it agin and same error when i do the gpg key
[03:00] <wishie> BinaryFu: my god man. PulseAudio has worked for AGES. when setup.
[03:00] <Speedy> *-rf
[03:00] <d4t4min3r> no public key....
[03:00] <clayd> can i use Remote Desktop Viewer to connect to a windows xp box?
[03:00] <sergiu> hi
[03:00] <Starnestommy> wishie: don't do the command that Speedy recommended, it'll screw up things really bad
[03:01] <sergiu> anyone know, how to install GTK+-2.10 on ubuntu hardy
[03:01] <wishie> i know :)
[03:01] <BinaryFu> wishie: I don't want to "setup" I want it to WORK when I install the OS.
[03:01] <Byron1> Housefly is that dual monitors with laptop?
[03:01] <jtaylor13> group: i have no problem with firefox when using  wifi it is fine.tonight i just got my cell phone wireless card working.
[03:01] <johnny_> how do i figure out what drive i need for my ati graphics card?
[03:01] <Starnestommy> d4t4min3r: I'm not sure how to fix it
[03:01] <wishie> BinaryFu: then tell the packagers/releasers to setup it up properly
[03:01] <Steve-cal> clayd: If you Windows XP box has a VNC server, yes. :)
[03:01] <d4t4min3r> Starnestommy: any other way to watch the dvd....
[03:01] <Speedy> johnny_, google and the model of your card
[03:01] <Housefly7k> Byron1:  yeah with a laptop, Inspiron 8500
[03:01] <d4t4min3r> Starnestommy: i installed vlc and it wont play it.. any other way to i guess install libdvdcss
[03:01]  * particle_man awaits an answer
[03:01] <johnny_> how do i find out the model Speedy
[03:02] <Speedy> johnny_,  on the box:?
[03:02] <johnny_> dont have one
[03:02] <BinaryFu> wishie: Or, I could beg them to stop with the stupid server nonsense, and leave that as an option for those who really want to have a NETWORK JUKEBOX, and leave my audio clean and sweet sounding.
[03:02] <mixter> ok heres a better question where do i download envyng-gtk
[03:02] <johnny_> its in my laptop
[03:02] <BinaryFu> wishie: But neither of those options is going to work...I'm not a programmer, they won't listen to me.
[03:02] <Starnestommy> d4t4min3r: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs
[03:02] <Speedy> johnny_, did the laptop not come in a box?
[03:02] <johnny_> no
[03:02] <Speedy> lol
[03:02] <wishie> BinaryFu: its not just that, actually. PulseAudio beings alot of new features to the table, supports automatic 'upmixing', on-the-fly card switching etc
[03:03] <wishie> BinaryFu: per stream volume controls, reliable network sound, and many other things.
[03:03] <johnny_> does anyone know how i find out what driver i need to download for an ati card
[03:03] <Lanlost> Envy
[03:03] <wishie> BinaryFu: its a FAR CRY from the 'servers' like esd and arts.
[03:03] <mixter> johnny what kind of card
[03:03] <Lanlost> johnny_, which card?
[03:03] <johnny_> ati mixter
[03:03] <hisingh1_> hello
[03:03] <BinaryFu> wishie: And when they all work fine, and the developers set it up to work "out of the box" I'll give it a go. Until then, ALSA works just peachy for me, because I don't need a network server for my sound.
[03:03] <johnny_> how do i find out what model it is?
[03:03] <mixter> http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Installation_of_both_ATi_and_nVidia_Graphics_drivers johny
[03:03] <Housefly7k> Byron1:  is it supposed to be plug and play in Hardy or not yet?
[03:03] <mixter> i know thats the link
[03:03] <mixter> but i dont know what to do with it
[03:03] <johnny_> the card is installed
[03:04] <hisingh1_> great i am now using irc on terminal'
[03:04] <Lanlost> Johnny_, have you tried to use Envy?
[03:04] <johnny_> i need to know what driver to install to get compiz running
[03:04] <Speedy> envy sucks
[03:04] <johnny_> envy?
[03:04] <hisingh1_> thanks to all
[03:04] <Lanlost> .. don't say Envy sucks
[03:04] <Speedy> it does
[03:04] <Lanlost> there are plenty of times where it sucks
[03:04] <wishie> BinaryFu: you have even read how to use PulseAudio ? Do you know of its features ?
[03:04] <hisingh1_> exit
[03:04] <croddy> does anyone know if canonical offers a landscape-only support option? we are a university with limited funds and would like access to management tools but we are willing to forego support incidents to reduce costs
[03:04] <mixter> i cant even get envy up
[03:04] <Lanlost> but there are plenty of times where it works fine too
[03:04] <Speedy> and vice versa
[03:04] <mixter> this is hopeless
[03:05] <mixter> sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk
[03:05] <Lanlost> No I mean, what does Envy do wrong? I'm not saying this to be defensive, I'm saying it because I'm literally downloading it right now
[03:05] <mixter> i do that and it says its not installed
[03:05] <Lanlost> (new install) and if there is a better alternative I would rather know about it
[03:05] <Speedy> Laney,  what card you got?
[03:05] <johnny_> no package found mixter
[03:05] <Starnestommy> Lanlost: the drivers in it aren't tested to work with ubuntu
[03:05] <Speedy> Lanlost,  what card?
[03:05] <hisingh1> hey how do i exit irssi
[03:05] <mixter> same here
[03:05] <Lanlost> My card is an ATI x1050
[03:05] <afallenhope> is there a driver that I can install that allows me to use "screencast" as a webcam?
[03:05] <mixter> johnny and i have the same question
[03:05] <BinaryFu> wishie: Ummm...no. Because...wait for it...ALSA works just fine. No popping noises where I have to adjust 200 levels to get it JUST RIGHT, no suddenly my youtube videos have sound by my rythymbox stopped playing...no...sounds play fine as I'm logging in, but stop completely after the drums...none of that.
[03:06] <Lanlost> I bought it because I ruined my Geforce FX by blowing compressed air into and blowing the fan backwards breaking the ball bearings (it was on)
[03:06] <Speedy> the x series have issues with driver support, nonetheless, ubuntu has the driver in its repo
[03:06] <Speedy> use the package mamager
[03:06] <BinaryFu> wishie: I don't have to research pulseaudio to know that when I've used it, it sucks. And so I go to what really works well...alsa.
[03:06] <Lanlost> I bought an ATI x1050 instead of an equivilent nVidia thinking ATI had better support.
[03:06] <Speedy> ati does have better support
[03:06] <BinaryFu> wishie:  When it's finally stable and really working smooth out of the box, I'll give it a whirl.
[03:06] <Speedy> my 2400HD worked out of the box
[03:06] <mixter> speedy can you help me
[03:06] <mixter> you make things work
[03:06] <Lanlost> Right.. but the ati x1050 is really an 1550 I think
 how do i exit irssi
[03:06] <croddy> man i have always had better luck with nvidia than ATI
[03:06] <wishie> i give up
[03:07] <Lanlost> It's a case of giving it a newer model number even though it's a realllllly old card
[03:07] <BinaryFu> Have a good night all.
[03:07] <Byron1> Housefly take a look here http://sernaonubuntu.wikidot.com/multiple-monitors
[03:07] <afallenhope> hisingh1: /quit and then exit
[03:07] <mixter> what part of this didnt i get         sudo apt-get install envyng-gtk?
[03:07] <Lanlost> Regardless, my ATI works fine right now.. I mean I've got Compiz, I've got Direct Rendering, everything is working
[03:07] <Speedy> Lanlost, dudnt ubuntu auto find you a driver?
[03:07] <hisingh1> thanks
[03:07] <Speedy> 8dudnt
[03:07] <johnny_> 01:05.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc RS300M AGP [Radeon Mobility 9100IGP]
[03:07] <BinaryFu> wishie: This is the first step to wisdom - don't try to convert someone to your way of thinking when their path is just fine as it is, only different. It's the reason we have all this mess for sound - too many people want to convert everyone else to their way of thinking.
[03:07] <johnny_> what driver would i need to get compiz working ?
[03:07] <BinaryFu> Night all
[03:07] <Lanlost> The problem is that when I ran glxgears, it would render fine.. but when I move the window.. it keeps an 'imprint' of the old window
[03:07] <wishie> BinaryFu: excuse me ?
[03:07] <Speedy> the driver for your grfx card -_-
[03:08] <wishie> BinaryFu: you were talking about OSS being open ffs, and ALSA being closed ?
[03:08] <mixter> exactly speedy, why does tit not worjk
[03:08] <cdsmithu1> Thanks for earlier help.  FYI, I solved the sound problem with http://linux.dell.com/wiki/index.php/Ubuntu_8.04/Issues/No_Sound_After_Distribution_Upgrade
[03:08] <wishie> i mean, what the.
[03:08] <Speedy> mixter,  because of the configuration probably
[03:08] <Lanlost> As in, I can move the glxgears window like 10 times and have 11 'windows' of glxgears open.. only one active. As soon as I move another window over the old ones they erase
[03:08] <Speedy> maybe its blacklisted?
[03:08] <mixter> can i fix it
[03:08] <Speedy> yes you can
[03:08] <BinaryFu> wishie: Go read things. Like, what OSS stands for. And what drivers are in ALSA.
[03:08] <mixter> it says my card uses proprietary driversd
[03:08] <BinaryFu> wishie: Until then, don't try to argue with someone who has already done so.
[03:08] <Speedy> try SHIP_CHECK=yes compiz
[03:08] <BinaryFu> nite
[03:08] <Lanlost> so I glxgears -info and it says
[03:08] <wishie> BinaryFu: read the debuggingsound page on ubuntu forums ? heard of alsa-info.sh ?
[03:09] <Lanlost> GL_RENDERER   = Mesa DRI R300 20060815 AGP 8x x86/MMX+/3DNow!+/SSE TCL
[03:09] <Speedy> yeah yhea
[03:09] <Speedy> try SHIP_CHECK=yes compiz
[03:09] <Lanlost> so I'm obviously not using my ATI drivers
[03:09] <crd1b> Speedy: SKIP_CHECKS
[03:09] <Speedy> and see what happens
[03:09] <Lanlost> I must be using a software mesa implementation (I'm assuming thats what mesa is)
[03:09] <Speedy> oh wait
[03:09] <Speedy> you are using mesa
[03:09] <Speedy> you need to be using the ati drivers
[03:09] <Housefly7k> Why cant I get this second monitor to work, I tried it with my brothers laptop Windows XP and it just came on... so I know it worksNw just to get it to work with ubuntu
[03:09] <mixter> speedy nvidia doesnt have my driver son there site?
[03:09] <Lanlost> I don't know how to check which driver I'm actually using because I usually get it from xorg.conf
[03:09] <DaveyJ> recently i've been having problems with my sound drivers; like if firefox is open,amarok wont work. now when i try to run amarok it says it coudlnt initialize the xine engine
[03:09] <mixter> i have an nvidia go 7150
[03:09] <DaveyJ> any ideas?
[03:09] <Speedy> oh nvidia, sorry dude and dont talk abotu nvidua
[03:09] <Lanlost> but my xorg.conf is pretty... after-install-standard
[03:10] <Lanlost> as in default settings in each section
[03:10] <mixter> dont talka bout it?
[03:10] <mixter> im so confused
[03:10] <hi> hey
[03:10] <node357> hey hi
[03:10] <Speedy> nope, there are some things i avoid in life, like ruby, apple macs and nvidia etc etc
[03:10] <Lanlost> I love linux, I used slack forever.. but in multi-terminal mode. When I used xwindows, I just used vesa and fluxbox
[03:10] <d4t4min3r> Starnestommy: ok libdvdcss2 and 3 are installed
[03:10] <d4t4min3r> and it still not reading
[03:10] <mixter> i understand
[03:10] <lwizardl> anyone here have experience with setting up Linux POS (Point of Sale) machines ?
[03:10] <Lanlost> so somehow I have no idea how to definitively check which display driver I'm using for X
[03:11] <Byron1> Housefly linux uses xorg.conf for video. I believe you need to have two xorg files. It doesn;t just work
[03:11] <mixter> can anyone help me download envyng?
[03:11] <crd1b> Lanlost: your problem is currently not fixable
[03:11] <mixter> is there a link?
[03:11] <Lanlost> mixter, yes.
[03:11] <Lanlost> crdlb, whys that?
[03:11] <d4t4min3r> lwizardl: what distro is that... for a linux POS?
[03:11] <node357> isn't envy bad?
[03:11] <crd1b> Lanlost: do not try to use the ATI driver to fix it, it will not help
[03:11] <node357> !envy
[03:11] <Lanlost> Where are you getting this information?
[03:11] <node357> oh kool, it's good
[03:11] <Byron1> Housefly Did you take a look at the link?
[03:11] <d4t4min3r> can anyone help me with a dvd prolem
[03:12] <crd1b> Lanlost: the problem is that no driver other than nvidia's supports redirected direct rendering. DRI2 will fix that eventually, but not yet
[03:12] <d4t4min3r> i cant get a dvd to play
[03:12] <hisingh1_> cool, irssi and ircII both work great'
[03:12] <croddy> does envyng build debs? it's unclear from the description
[03:12] <lwizardl> d4t4min3r, I'm trying to find information on ubuntu for the os but information online seems to be very small chunks
[03:12] <Siph0n> hey, Devede is taking hours to convert my AVI movie into an iso image... is that normal? or is there any other way to do it faster?
[03:12] <Lanlost> crdlb, can I pm you real quick? I'll keep it short, theres just so much text gong in this chat
[03:12] <DemonicButthead> why do the adobe non-free flash drivers fail constantly?
[03:12] <Speedy> Siph0n,  depends on the sizr
[03:12] <bruenig> lwizardl: what do you mean information for the OS?
[03:12] <black9ice> hmmm  I have everything working I need to work or want in i686, thinking of trying 64bit, I have 8gig lying on my desk begging for use, should I?  lol
[03:12] <Speedy> *size
[03:12] <Housefly7k> Byron1: sorry I missed that, checking the link now thanks
[03:12] <Speedy> and compression rate and alogrythm
[03:13] <DemonicButthead> ie.. 1 hour after installing them.. flash stops working entirely?
[03:13] <crd1b> johnny_: what does 'glxinfo | grep direct' say?
[03:13] <Siph0n> Speedy, its not that long, maybe 2 hours, and the avi is only 700meg
[03:13] <lwizardl> bruenig, no stuff like if thisbrand is compatible with ubuntu etc
[03:13] <johnny_> rendering yes crdlb
[03:13] <DemonicButthead> or just not load on any random website for no reason?
[03:13] <Lanlost> crdlb, what do I need direct rendering for? I mean, what's the problem you are talking about? The fact that when I move the window it doesn't redraw correctly?
[03:13] <Lanlost> I've used an ATI driver before for this card.. and had it be 3d acceled..
[03:13] <crdlb> johnny_: join #compiz-fusion for a moment please
[03:13] <bazhang> !hcl | lwizardl
[03:13] <jgraham__> anyone know how to hide dot files when viewing the file system with firefox, ie when you are looking for a place to save a file, print...  ?
[03:14] <hisingh1> can i use pidgen on terminal
[03:14] <black9ice> is there a 64bit channel?
[03:14] <bazhang> hisingh1, no
[03:14] <bruenig> lwizardl: hardware support is a linux thing, not an ubuntu thing
[03:14] <Lanlost> crdlb, you don't need to give me an answer, but it would be nice if you could give me a link to this information or forum or anything so I can research it for myself.
[03:14] <crdlb> Lanlost: ok let me explain differently. You have 3d acceleration (ie OpenGL), but when using compiz, the opengl stuff is drawn directly to the screen

[03:15] <jgraham__> croddy, rad! thanks
[03:15] <Siph0n> hisingh1, I use Pidgin and XChat
[03:15] <crdlb> Lanlost: to make moving opengl windows like glxgears work correctly, the opengl must be redirected
[03:15] <croddy> hisingh1, naim does at least AIM but it's no pidgin
[03:15] <Speedy> Sonja,
[03:15] <crdlb> Lanlost: neither of the ati drivers supports that yet
[03:15] <Speedy> Sonja, its an error in the application
[03:15] <Lanlost> and thats just direct rendering right?
[03:15] <Speedy> looks like a programmer error, IndexOutOfBounds
[03:15] <Lanlost> because I'm not using an ATI driver right now.. I'm using Mesa
[03:16] <crdlb> Lanlost: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/DirectRenderingToRedirectedWindows
[03:16] <Lanlost> I mean I have direct rendering enabled.. according to glxinfo
[03:16] <crdlb> Lanlost: you are using the open source driver, which uses Mesa for its OpenGL implementation and DRI support
[03:16] <croddy> is there any way to get hide/sticky buttons on metacity and/or the GTK compiz decorator?
[03:17] <croddy> (fearing i'll have to draw an emerald pixmap theme from scratch)
[03:17] <wers> how do I change gdm screen size?

[03:17] <croddy> err, not hide, above/below
[03:17] <dimas869> where i can enable medibutu?
[03:17] <Housefly7k> Byron1: See what i mean is my xorg looks nothing like the one in any of the guides

[03:17] <philipjfry> :/
[03:17] <Speedy> sonja you need the latest version of iriverter, if thats what you have then file a bug report, the problem is the code tries to access the -1th element of an array which is outof bounds
[03:17] <Housefly7k> Sorry, didnt mean to flood, but thats basically what i have in my xorg, they have much more
[03:18] <d4t4min3r> can someone help me with a dvd problem
[03:18] <Speedy> its a bug int he software
[03:18] <Housefly7k> Byron1: how do I know what driver to use?
[03:18] <Sonja> i did a complete reinstall of iriverter with synaptic
[03:18] <Sonja> and still buggy
[03:18] <dimas869> where i can enable medibuntu?
[03:18] <afallenhope> how do you tile the windows again
[03:18] <kwan> What's a good bt client?
[03:18] <philipjfry> ubuntu has tonight for some reason been failing me. randomly it goes to a black screen then directly to the login prompt, how can i find out what the problem is?
[03:18] <afallenhope> there ALT +TAB. WINKEY TAB what was the one to tile all the windows
[03:19] <crdlb> afallenhope: shift+alt+up by default
[03:19] <Housefly7k> kwan: transmission is simple, not alot of options for seeding and such but it does the job for me
[03:19] <afallenhope>  thanks !
[03:19] <Housefly7k> kwan: my friend uses utorrent and azureus
[03:19] <bittin> Housefly7k: same here =)
[03:19] <shawnfaulconer1> anyone, i need help with the scanModem thing
[03:19] <afallenhope> oooohhh! what's the CTRL + ALT + DELETE equivelancy?
[03:19] <Lanlost> crdlb, so.. .. I guess I'm just confused here. I am using an open source _ATI_ driver which uses Mesa? Is this what ATI cards are supposed to use?
[03:19] <ZimCS> Does anyone know why Ubuntu wouldn't be connecting to a network while running in VMware Workstation?
[03:20] <Lanlost> the glxgears thing doesn't really bother me.. what am I going to lose out on from not having this direct rendering redirecting thing
[03:20] <dimas869> housefly7k i just update to hardy and i dont know where i can enable medibutu
[03:20] <bittin> Housefly7k: u can't run utorrent in ubuntu without wine
[03:20] <shawnfaulconer1> it says to put it in home folder with modem??? im a newb
[03:20] <bobboy> Should I install firefox RC1 over B5?
[03:20] <kwan> Housefly7k, utorrent is available on linux?  cool
[03:20] <bittin> kwan: its not :P
[03:20] <Lanlost> shouldn't I still use a different ATI driver? As far as I know, I'm not using one.. the restricted driver manager says I can use it.
[03:20] <Housefly7k> bittin: i think they both use wine
[03:20] <crdlb> Lanlost: what you lose is that opengl doesn't work well in compiz. If you switch to the proprietary ATI driver (fglrx), you'd have the same problem
[03:20] <bittin> not Azareus
[03:20] <bittin> but theres a good thing if u like utorrent
[03:20] <bittin> thats like it
[03:20] <Housefly7k> kwan:  yeah sorry I meant you, it uses wine
[03:20] <bittin> just need to remember the name :P
[03:20] <kwan> bittin: Housefly7k  here is giving me that idea lol
[03:21] <Housefly7k> kwan: try Deluge
[03:21] <croddy> bittin, deluge?
[03:21] <bittin> Deluge*
[03:21] <bittin> croddy: yepp
[03:21] <bittin> http://deluge-torrent.org/ =)
[03:21] <croddy> <3 deluge
[03:21] <bobboy> bittin: qBitTorrent
[03:21] <bittin> bobboy: never used that
[03:21] <bittin> iam uses Transmission also :D
[03:22] <bittin> but iam on osx atm :)
[03:22] <kumarphilly> is #ubuntu the channel with the most people in i tor someting
[03:22] <kumarphilly> on freenode
[03:22] <kumarphilly> i have never seen more people
[03:22] <kwan> bittin: so you got any suggestions?  I used azureus like a year ago on edgy, wasn't really feeling it.
[03:22] <squarebracket> if i want to do a re-install, is there a way i can back up the dpkg list and then just "restore" it such that it downloads them all again?
[03:22] <bittin> kwan: Deluge is nice =)
[03:22] <bobboy> bittin: screenshots --> http://sourceforge.net/project/screenshots.php?group_id=163414
[03:22] <Housefly7k> transmission has a little more optionsin osx that arent available in ubuntu
[03:22] <kwan> Bittin: deluge worth trying?
[03:22] <bittin> bobboy: yea saw that =)
[03:22] <scripy> Hello from Jerklib
[03:22] <kwan> bittin, k

[03:22] <Byron1> Housefly where was your xorg.conf file locates?
[03:23] <shawnfaulconer1> ok anyone know what to do with scanModem?????????
[03:23] <bittin> kwan: what did u use on windows?
[03:23] <bobboy> So should i install firefox rc1 or keep b5?
[03:23] <bittin> if u was torrenting there?
[03:23] <zero88> Is anyone familiar with OpenOffice at all?
[03:23] <Housefly7k> squarebracket: yeah there is, dont remember the command
[03:23] <Byron1> zero yes
[03:23] <squarebracket> Housefly7k: damn. i know there is too, i was hoping for the command >_<
[03:23] <Housefly7k> Byron1: /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[03:23] <bittin> kwan: but your maybe a long time linux user?
[03:24] <shawnfaulconer1> linux modem support sucks, its too complicated....
[03:24] <Lanlost> Crdlb, Ah.. that must explain it
[03:24] <zero88> Byron1, ok well my dilemma is that I am tryng to add a 0 zero before a number 86574 in spreadsheet but it wont let me.?
[03:24] <hisingh1> how do i exit naim
[03:24] <mixter> i can play the computer with one hand
[03:24] <Lanlost> crdlb, in my last install I installed the ati driver.. but kept thinking it wasn't working because.. it was slower than my base install of ubuntu
[03:24] <minusidea> can anyone tell me why ubuntu keeps asking me for a wireless pass phrase when the network is unsecured?
[03:25] <Lanlost> I rebooted and had a white cube.. and I fixed that.. and on next restart.. everything worked.. but I Was getting like half the frame rate

[03:25] <WhoNeedszzz> Hey guys, when is firefox 3rc1 going to be released in the repos?
[03:25] <bobboy> should i install firefox release candidate 1 over ubuntus default firefox beta 5
[03:25] <wers> how do I know the right screen depth setting for my screen?
[03:25] <mixter> who need sfirefox
[03:25] <mixter> the hell with firefox
[03:25] <mixter> get maxthon
[03:25] <Lanlost> So... what if I want to play games though? Would I be better off switching drivers and then switching back .. or will mesa work fine?
[03:25] <WhoNeedszzz> bobboy, i would it is musch better
[03:25] <bittin> firefox ftw =)
[03:25] <shawnfaulconer1> idk minusidea, no one knows what to do with modems either
[03:25] <WhoNeedszzz> mixter, ff == w1n
[03:25] <kwan> bittin: utorrent.  Its good you asked.  I have a 9 months experience with linux (ubuntu) stopped using it 5 months ago (for strange reasons lol) and now i'm back :>  Its literally spent the last 2 days installing ubuntu on raid and getting things to work and stuff
[03:25] <bobboy> wth is maxthon?
[03:25] <mixter> mathon
[03:25] <mixter> use it
[03:26] <mixter> maxthon*
[03:26] <ZimCS> I am having trouble with Ubuntu connecting to the internet through VMware Workstation.  Does anyone have an idea why it wouldn't be bridging properly?
[03:26] <bittin> kwan: then use Deluge
[03:26] <Ryoushi> wers - there is no "right screen depth setting".  It's all personal preference.
[03:26] <minusidea> it wasn't doing that earlier - now it just started. it's really strange.
[03:26] <bittin> kwan: http://deluge-torrent.org/
[03:26] <squarebracket> Housefly7k: thanks!!!
[03:26] <crdlb> Lanlost: fglrx will probably be faster for gaming, but you'll probably want to turn compiz off when you run a game
[03:26] <bittin> best Utorrent Copy
[03:26] <bittin> there is :P
[03:26] <bobboy> WhoNeedszzz: why is it so much better? can anything screw up?
[03:26] <zero88> Can anyone tell me how to add zeros in OpenOffice spreadsheet???
[03:26] <Housefly7k> squarebracket: your welcome...thank google
[03:26] <bittin> kwan: me myself is also a changer =D
[03:26] <bittin> uses Mac, Windows, Linux
[03:26] <bittin> BSD
[03:27] <bittin> and what i feel like :D
[03:27] <WhoNeedszzz> bobboy, not that i know of. my friend has it and said it is much faster and more stable
[03:27] <Lanlost> crdlb, so every ATI has this problem? I guess I'm just confused on why ATI has better 'support' if something like compiz doesn't work well.
[03:27] <Byron1> zero what do you mean add zeros
[03:27] <Lanlost> I still want to know how I'm supposed to see what driver is loaded
[03:27] <Ryoushi> anyone know why my wireless card suddenly stopped working?  The model is Broadcom Corporation BCM4318 [AirForce One 54g] 802.11g Wireless LAN Controller (rev 02)
[03:27] <_s_a_t_a_n_> Hello
[03:27] <tj1515> i have a windows partition that does not mount on startup i have to click on it to mount it can anybody tell me a easy way to get it to mount on start up
[03:27] <Lanlost> for instance, if I wanted to test this by installing fglrx.. how would I switch back
[03:27] <bittin> Hi _s_a_t_a_n_
[03:27] <WhoNeedszzz> so does anyone know when ff3rc1 will be released in synaptic?
[03:27] <cruddpuppet> How do I use grep to get something like " `tusf_members_converge`" through command line?
[03:27] <TreoSyncHelp> Hello... I've been trying to sync a Treo 650 with Ubuntu and cannot get it to work.
[03:27] <Lanlost> I don't know what to put back into xorg.conf becuase I don't know the drivers name
[03:27] <bobboy> WhoNeedszzz: kk
[03:27] <cruddpuppet> Every time I do it, it thinks I'm using `tusf_members_converge` as command output
[03:27] <bobboy> mixter: sell me maxthon
[03:27] <crdlb> Lanlost: who told you that? nvidia has tons of issues that will hold them back, but at the moment, they have the most mature driver
[03:27] <zero88> Byron1, well if I was adding a number to a cell, like 0089588, it only excepts 89588 and does not show the two zeros before the number
[03:28] <_s_a_t_a_n_> i've made an ubuntu livecd, plz help me debug it, I get a kernel panic saying that no valid root= boot option was passed into kernel
[03:28] <crdlb> Lanlost: the name of the current driver is either 'ati' or 'radeon' (ati is a wrapper for multiple drivers)
[03:28] <crdlb> Lanlost: you can see that in /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[03:28] <WhoNeedszzz> bobboy, don't listen to him, ff is better than any browser, _especially_ with security
[03:28] <zero88> _s_a_t_a_n_, make a new one
[03:28] <mixter> sell?
[03:28] <mixter> i dont sell
[03:29] <_s_a_t_a_n_> veery funny zero88
[03:29] <mixter> maxthon is an ie replacmeent
[03:29] <Ryoushi> Lanlost - ATI does not have better support.  This is well known.  Ignore anyone who says otherwise.
[03:29] <kwan> bittin: buddy, are you experienced linux user yourself?  I got this thing that's botherin me at bootup.  It doesn't affect the functionality of my system but when it starts up, a pattern of "[[C^" fills out the screen as the OS loads up
[03:29] <WhoNeedszzz> mixter, so is ff
[03:29] <mixter> when used in conjunction with ff they are unstoppable
[03:29] <mixter> whatever ff dont do, mathon do
[03:29] <WhoNeedszzz> bs
[03:29] <mixter> whatever maxthon dont do ff do
[03:29] <bobboy> WhoNeedszzz: kk... mixter: sell as in promote lol
[03:29] <WhoNeedszzz> name something that ff doesn't do
[03:29] <mixter> uninstall your IE replace it with maxthon
[03:29] <bittin> kwan: never heard about that problem before
[03:29] <tritium> Stay on topic, WhoNeedszzz, mixter, bobboy.
[03:29] <mixter> use firefox
[03:29] <_s_a_t_a_n_> Can anybody help me make the right proper livecd?
[03:29] <bobboy> mixter: im on ubuntu man i hate IE
[03:29] <zero88> _s_a_t_a_n_, when you mean made a livecd do you mean just burining the iso to a cd?
[03:29] <mandrig> whenever i open windows http://pixloads.com/public/pview/55008/Screenshot.png that happens
[03:29] <mixter> exactly
[03:29] <WhoNeedszzz> tritium: how are we not on topic?
[03:30] <crdlb> zero88: format the cell and set the number of leading zeros
[03:30] <mixter> i cant even get my gfx card to work with hardy
[03:30] <mandrig> the main title bar is not shown
[03:30] <mixter> so taker it easy boys
[03:30] <tritium> WhoNeedszzz: the topic is not browswer wars, it is ubuntu support
[03:30] <Rixon-> anyone here run virtualbox ose?
[03:30] <johnfg> Sorry guys, i asked a question then had to take off.  Any idea why the i386 server would say that i have the wrong cpu?
[03:30] <Ryoushi> mandrig - Your window decorator is disabled
[03:30] <zero88> crdlb, I have, it still doesnt work
[03:30] <Rixon-> when i install it with the package manager it wont install the kernel module vboxdrv
[03:30] <WhoNeedszzz> tritium: yes but it isn't really a browser war as i am informing bobboy of the security of ff
[03:30] <Ryoushi> mandrig - hit alt+f2 and type "metacity --replace"
[03:30] <_s_a_t_a_n_> no zero88 I made my own initrd file, and used an ordinary ubuntu kernel
[03:31] <Mago_seiyu> hola amigos !
[03:31] <WhoNeedszzz> mixter was the one who came in saying screw ff
[03:31] <crdlb> zero88: you'll have to be more specific than that
[03:31] <Mago_seiyu> hay alguien !
[03:31] <johnfg> At present i'm running Fedora 9 for i386 with no problems.
[03:31] <zero88> _s_a_t_a_n_, kk forget what i said then ;)
[03:31] <`Kermudge> Simple question I hope.  Is there a plugin/script for Xchat that will allow for auto ops?  Actually would like something that does way more than that.  But Auto ops helps.
[03:31] <mandrig> Ryoushi: Thanks, that fixed it
[03:31] <Ryoushi> mandrig - You're welcome ^.^
[03:32] <Mago_seiyu> hola
[03:32] <zero88> crdlb, what do you mean. with my answer or question. becuase i formatted the cells, added one leading zero, and tried adding it, but it doesnt stay with the number it disappears once i go to a new cell
[03:32] <mandrig> Ryoushi: Its a bad setting somewhere in my compizconfig, as metacity --replace just reset my graphics settings
[03:32] <WhoNeedszzz> but back to my original question. Does anyone know when ff3rc1 will be released in synaptic?
[03:32] <Housefly7k> zero88: add more leading zeros
[03:32] <crdlb> zero88: one leading zero won't do anything
[03:33] <tritium> WhoNeedszzz: no, that is not known yet
[03:33] <mandrig> Ryoushi: But I believe i just found the underlying problem anyway :)
[03:33] <bazhang> !ff3rc | WhoNeedszzz
[03:33] <zero88> Housefly7k, crdlb  how many?
[03:33] <Ryoushi> mandrig - okie dokie.
[03:33] <crdlb> zero88: it's not added in front of the number, but is how many digits there will be
[03:33] <zero88> crdlb, ahh ok it works. nm :). thank you
[03:33] <crdlb> zero88: so if you set it to 4, 3 becomes 0003, and 124 becomes 0124
[03:33] <WhoNeedszzz> what the hell is the Ubuntu Developer Summit???
[03:34] <zero88> crdlb, I didnt know thats how it worked
[03:34] <sacamano> can you rip music from an iPod with rhythmbox?
[03:34] <Rixon-> obviously a summit, for developers, of ubuntu relates software
[03:34] <sacamano> specifically .m4p?
[03:34] <tritium> !language | WhoNeedszzz
[03:34] <squarebracket> Housefly7k: what did you search for to come up with that?
[03:34] <WhoNeedszzz> tritium: oh give me a break man
[03:34] <Rixon-> sacamano: yeah look at the tools>plugins
[03:34] <kwan> It looks to me either something is wrong with firefox 3 beta or firefox beta 3 is conflicting with flash player in Hardy.  When i watch youtube videos (flash videos) the video is lagging like hell
[03:34] <crdlb> zero88: 'leading zeroes' is a misleading name for it :)
[03:34] <pjv> is there a way to convert flv files into avi in linux?
[03:34] <WhoNeedszzz> tritium: if you think "hell" is improper language you are living in one messed up world
[03:34] <Housefly7k> squarebracket: " list installed aptget applications ubuntu"
[03:35] <kwan> bittin, know anything bout that one?

[03:35] <mixter> anyone else wanna flame me?

[03:35] <bittin> kwan: nah
[03:35] <bobboy> no one is flaming you mixter lol
[03:35] <letubenaiah> zero88: if you want it to show exactly how many you enter you can format cell and set to text
[03:35] <Genius314> Every once in a while, I'm unable to type in a window until I move to another window or minimize it, or something. It's really annoying, because I go to type and nothing happens. Anyone know what might be the problem?
[03:35] <Rixon-> uhm
[03:35] <Rixon-> okay
[03:35] <Rixon-> mixter
[03:35] <Rixon-> you're an idiot

[03:36] <dma315> Ever since I installed the new version of Ubuntu, everything has been magnificantly slow, especially rendering of webpages in firefox, is there a way I can get rid of the beta 3.5 and go back to the latest stable version?
[03:36] <bobboy> i was merely asking which browser was better and why.. its cool though dont worry about it ill stick with firefox
[03:36] <zero88> letubenaiah, and that will show the amount of zeros?
[03:36] <_s_a_t_a_n_> Can anybody plz give me the answer to a single question: I can install linux on a system, but not a single linux live cd doesn't work on my hardware. Why?
[03:36] <excrucio> Have you tried auto proxy settings, dma?
[03:36] <bobboy> whoneedszzz is ff3 more stable in ubuntu? i get service unavailable ALL THE TIME AND ITS ANNOYING!!!
[03:36] <HappyHater> I'm trying to extract an archive, I keep getting errors telling me I need to start at a previous volume, but I tried the .r00 file and it gives the same error
[03:36] <bogey-> seemed unneccessary to ban him
[03:37] <letubenaiah> zero88: that will show exactly what you put in  so if you put in 03 that is what will show but if you put 003 that will
[03:37] <tritium> bogey-: nobody has been banned
[03:37] <kwan> DemonicButthead, even the flash player from adobe is like that

[03:37] <bbyever> tritium: uhhh that was a bit harsh, dont you think?
[03:37] <Lanlost> hey crdlb .. I cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep driver
[03:37] <tritium> +q != +b

[03:37] <Lanlost> (WW) AIGLX: 3D driver claims to not support visual 0x23
[03:37] <Logrusmage> Hello, anyone up too tackling a wireless Hardy problem?
[03:37] <Lanlost> I suppose that means I'm using aiglx already..
[03:37] <DemonicButthead> DMA315 - you can uninstall the firefox beta and load version 2 from synaptic
[03:37] <Lanlost> I just was trying to see if I was using vesa or some other driver.. so that I could switch back
[03:37] <Lanlost> I guess my last question is this then:
[03:37] <Lanlost> How is my driver set to anything without it being in xorg.conf?
[03:37] <Jack_Sparrow> _s_a_t_a_n_ try this  At start or install press F6 and remove Quiet and Splash from the command line. If it still fails.. Repeat and after removing quiet and splash add noapic acpi=off before the "--"
[03:37] <crdlb> Lanlost: if you want to find your driver, you'll have to look in it :)
[03:38] <crdlb> Lanlost: autodetection
[03:38] <tritium> Rixon-: don't do that again, please
[03:38] <Lanlost> ok
[03:38] <Lanlost> I just assumed that the autodetection would update xorg.conf
[03:38] <Rixon-> what?
[03:38] <teimu> Sometimes I install software isn't a package (like you get from apt). How do I make it so that this software gets placed correctly in usr/bin and usr/lib....you know so that it's like it was a package
[03:38] <Lanlost> That's something that should be done
[03:38] <Lanlost> even if it doens't update xorg.conf
[03:38] <crdlb> Lanlost: the xorg.conf is on its way out
[03:38] <Lanlost> you would think there would be a file created (for newbs or just for ease of use) that would be like autoconf.org
[03:38] <crdlb> the autodetection happens at runtime
[03:38] <Genius314> Okay, I'm using gnome with some QT apps, and I'd like to, if possible, use my GTK+ theme with the QT programs. If not possible, can someone point me to some tutorials or example qt themes that use pixmaps?
[03:39] <Logrusmage> Help me get an IP anyone.... please ;_.?
[03:39] <johnny_> what is the super button?
[03:39] <teimu> Logrusmage ifconfig
[03:39] <Lanlost> Right.. I'm just saying though.. It would be nice if it created an autoconf.org file after it does the autodetect so you dont have to cat a whole bunch of stuff
[03:39] <Starnestommy> johnny_: the win key
[03:39] <alan_m> the super button is the "windows key"
[03:39] <d4t4min3r> msttcorefonts x-ttcidfont this thing is installed and causing all kinds of issues
[03:39] <bobboy> WhoNeedszzz is ff3 more stable in ubuntu? i get service unavailable ALL THE TIME AND ITS ANNOYING!!!
[03:39] <d4t4min3r> msttcorefonts
[03:39] <afallenhope> can you change the desktop for each destkop/
[03:39] <d4t4min3r> can someone helpe me it wont let me unistall it
[03:39] <crdlb> Genius314: there is a horrendously broken gtk engine to do the opposite (gtk-qt)
[03:39] <afallenhope> desktop?
[03:39] <rp3__> johnny_ the windows key
[03:39] <Lanlost> if I change xorg.conf, it overwrites the auto configuration then..
[03:39] <Jack_Sparrow> bobboy please lose the caps
[03:39] <d4t4min3r> synaptic says it cant
[03:39] <johnny_> what is super button 5 then
[03:39] <d4t4min3r> add/remove says it cant
[03:39] <crdlb> Genius314: and qt4 will have support for exactly what you want
[03:40] <crdlb> but that won't help with qt3 apps
[03:40] <Jaredu> heyo
[03:40] <Jaredu> problem
[03:40] <johnny_> win key + 5 doesnt do anything
[03:40] <Jack_Sparrow> johnny_ would that be windows key + #5
[03:40] <Jaredu> i have an nvidia 9800GTX and I can't seem to get a driver for ubuntu 8.04
[03:40] <yabbo> bobboy, i dont think FF3 is going to solve your unavailable problem
[03:40] <kwan> bobboy,  you having problems watching flash (or youtube) videos with flash player in ff3 too?
[03:40] <Genius314> crdlb: Okay. It's not much of a problem. It's a bit annoying having two different themes though.. :-/
[03:40] <d4t4min3r> what does it mean from the dvd player.. cant read from source
[03:41] <orudie> how can i edit a .php file in shell ?
[03:41] <johnny_> didnt do anyting Jack_Sparrow
[03:41] <teimu> orudie, vim is a console editor
[03:41] <squarebracket> man, i love ubuntu. i wish my tablet worked in it :(
[03:41] <crdlb> Genius314: there are a couple of lookalike themes though. For example, qt has a Cleanlooks theme which mimicks gtk's Clearlooks theme
[03:41] <Byron1> orudie I use vim
[03:41] <yabbo> Jaredu, i dont think nvidia drivers work in 8.04 yet
[03:41] <Jack_Sparrow> johnny_ are you trying to un-zoom?
[03:41] <Jaredu> ughhh
[03:41] <Byron1> squarebracket what tablet
[03:41] <Charles|2_0> pr0le: hey!
[03:41] <johnny_> yes Jack_Sparrow
[03:41] <Jaredu> only reason i installed linux again is because people told me it'd work
[03:41] <`Kermudge> Quess I will try this question again.  :) Simple question I hope.  Is there a plugin/script for Xchat that will allow for auto ops?  Actually would like something that does way more than that.  But Auto ops helps.
[03:42] <Jack_Sparrow> johnny_ try win and roll the wheel
[03:42] <Jaredu> i cant even find a 64 bit 9800gtx driver on their site
[03:42] <Charles|2_0> pr0le: can you see me now!
[03:42] <Jaredu> but some people have said they have got it to work
[03:42] <yabbo> orudie, vi file
[03:42] <Jaredu> gahhhhh
[03:42] <squarebracket> Byron1: ISDV4 USB -- not supported by linuxwacom
[03:42] <Charles|2_0> pr0le: over here!
[03:42] <bbyever> tritium: IMHO the ban on WhoNeedszzz was unnecesary
[03:42] <johnny_> i can flip it left and right jack
[03:42] <johnny_> nothing else
[03:42] <pr0le> I gotcha.
[03:42] <DemonicButthead> yabbo.. using the envy-gtk.. i can run an 8800 gt in an x64 image of 8.04
[03:42] <tritium> bbyever: stay on topic, please
[03:42] <yabbo> Jaredu, install ubuntu 7.10
[03:42] <kwan> yabbo: mine seemed alright but mine's a 5700 fx tho (super ol school)
[03:42] <Jack_Sparrow> johnny_ /join #Compiz
[03:42] <tritium> bbyever: and sorry you don't feel channel policies are worth following
[03:43] <Genius314> crdlb: Yeah, but I made the theme myself, mainly using the pixmaps engine, so there won't be a KDE look-a-like... Thanks, though.
[03:43] <Logrusmage> Help me get an IP anyone? WICD continues to search for an IP when I try to connect to a network.
[03:43] <yabbo> i wasnt able to find a nvidia driver for my 8.04 system so i went back to 7.10 with no issues
[03:43] <Jaredu> hmm
[03:43] <bolito__> ettercap
[03:43] <Jaredu> does 7.10 have any different compiz fusion?
[03:43] <Jack_Sparrow> bbyever He thought it was and it is NOT up for debate in here
[03:43] <Jaredu> im dualbooting as well... so i dont want to format my entire drive x..x
[03:43] <afallenhope> Where can I get the desktop cube?
[03:43] <tonyyarusso> `Kermudge: #ubuntu-offtopic for that sort of thing.
[03:43] <DemonicButthead> speaking of which, what advantage is there to running a 64 bit copy of ubuntu?  do any programs even make use of the capabilities?
[03:43] <yabbo> Jaredu, ubuntu 8.04 is the newest which means it hasnt been fixed 100% like 7.10 you should download and try 7.10 :)
[03:43] <Jaredu> im trying to get a driver from the nvidia site but i cant find it :( 8.04 or not
[03:44] <`Kermudge> Thanks tonyy.
[03:44] <InHisName> is there drivers for "ASUS EN8500GT SILENT/HTD/256M GF8500GT 256MB PCI Express w/HDTV & DVI" to work in ubuntu ?
[03:44] <Byron1> longrus can you go to #ubuntu-offtopic and I will try to help
[03:44] <teimu> Sometimes I install software isn't a package (like you get from apt). How do I make it so that this software gets placed correctly in usr/bin and usr/lib....you know so that it's like it was a package. i just dont like putting all my applications in my home directory
[03:44] <yabbo> Jaredu, compiz works in 7.10 much better but its the newest version of compiz still
[03:44] <Jaredu> any clue where i'd get a driver for 7.10 then? i have 2 burnt 7.10 cd's already
[03:44] <crdlb> Jaredu: gutsy has 0.6.0 and hardy has 0.7.4
[03:44] <Jaredu> hmm..
[03:45] <Jaredu> so is there like a standard nvidia driver for linux in that respect cause im trying to get it off the site.. but there are none for 9800gtx :(
[03:45] <yabbo> Jaredu, 7.10 has a restricted drivers database which you can use to get the driver automatically
[03:45] <Jaredu> ahh
[03:45] <Jaredu> i see
[03:45] <Jaredu> would that be hard to setup? :D
[03:45] <yabbo> no its a click i want to install this and it does it
[03:45] <bbyever> Jack_Sparrow: yeah, and he resumed his original question afterwards
[03:45] <Jaredu> ahh i see
[03:45] <Jaredu> well
[03:45] <Jaredu> i suppose ill be back in like 30 mins then lol
[03:45] <Jaredu> time to format
[03:45] <Jaredu> brb.
[03:45] <FloodBot3> Jaredu: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[03:45] <tritium> Jaredu: please use teh ubuntu-packaged driver
[03:45] <yabbo> hehe
[03:46] <harriseldon> teimu it depends on what you are installing and how
[03:46] <crdlb> Jaredu: I don't think the driver is new enough in 7.10
[03:46] <minusidea> anyone tell me when i try to "sudo apt-get install n" I get a "Could not open lock file n - open (13 permission denied_ E: Unable to lock the administration directory (n), are you root?"
[03:46] <Jaredu> gahh

[03:53] <yabbo> bobboy, are you at home? and do you have access to your router?
[03:53] <astro76> hcid: check the preferences for where mozilla is defined and change it to firefox
[03:53] <Jack_Sparrow> Aelita this is the ubuntu support room.  Do you have a ubuntu support question?
[03:53] <harriseldon> hcid change the preferences for url to use firefox instead of mozilla
[03:53] <harriseldon> hcid this is a preference in aMSN

[03:54] <Xcell> Halp! My Ubuntu runs to good!

[03:55] <Jaredu> no option to install new
[03:55] <lopex21> whats the name of the package that installs a whole bunch of codecs
[03:55] <harriseldon> minusidea what is your current working directory? Are you in a directory in which you have access?
[03:55] <ZalDan282179> I think there is something wrong under the linux cd player hood, because I downloaded a few cd players for ubuntu, and in all of them I can't listen normally to the CDs
[03:55] <yabbo> garrett__, i had to turn on mic boost for it though so you may want to try that
[03:55] <lopex21> im not sure if im ussing the right terminology
[03:55] <xx> how can i block ip in terminal so she cant get any respond from server ?
[03:55] <theFATMAN> what is the code to install a tarball from a URL? I am trying to get the wacom tablet drivers
[03:55] <crdlb> Jaredu: the hardware drivers manager would install 169.12, which is not new enough
[03:55] <Jack_Sparrow> idefine Usually best to let it take care of itself... in most cases
[03:55] <bobboy> yabbo: not sure what driver im using but ubuntu picked it up by default and it all works fine??? btw the service unavailable does not happen in vista with ff2
[03:55] <garrett__> yabbo: did that, too.  i'm just trying to get skype up and running, but the test call comes back all herky-jerky
[03:55] <ZalDan282179> I didn't have this problem when I was running Xubuntu, only now that I am running Ubuntu

[04:07] <Jack_Sparrow> kwan I like cairo dock.. but use whatever you like
[04:07] <ZalDan282179> OpenDocument works better than AbiWord did, but I'm having CD trouble.
[04:07] <cgentry72> teimu: that simple huh
[04:07] <yabbo> bobboy, not sure maybe try and install FF2
[04:07] <bobboy> yabbo: using wireless net with WPA encryption and mac adress filter.. getting about 75% signal constantly and have restricted extras package installed (codec's, flash etc etc)
[04:07] <teimu> cgentry72, welcome to linux =)
[04:08] <wers> what app can I use to play .avi files? :)
[04:08] <yabbo> wers get vlc
[04:08] <astro76> !hostname | cgentry72
[04:08] <harriseldon> ZalDAn282179 did you look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DMA?highlight=(hdparm)
[04:08] <bobboy> wers: personally i use vlc as ive never liked totem or others
[04:08] <wers> thanks
[04:08] <ZalDan282179> thanks for the link.
[04:09] <yabbo> wers | sudo apt-get install vlc mplayer
[04:09] <k20a> i am gonna trying to use a mobile screen on a computer and was wondering what that app was called to view the screen bigger then it displays
[04:09] <UberCanuck> wers: and vlc plugins
[04:09] <teimu> cgentry72, yea, do what ubottu said
[04:09] <wers> ok
[04:09] <bobboy> why mplayer?
[04:09] <cgentry72> ubottu: i want to know how to change the workgroup name though
[04:09] <yabbo> why not :p give him a choice
[04:09] <d4t4min3r> what does teh unable to gather data icon mean.. im seing that
[04:09] <bobboy> true true
[04:10] <cgentry72> teimu: i want to change the workgroup name not the hostname though
[04:10] <d4t4min3r> unable to get data
[04:10] <astro76> cgentry72: "workgroup" is something from windows file sharing, are you using samba?
[04:10] <d4t4min3r> im doing a update.. is that why?
[04:10] <kwan> Jack_Sparrow, yabbo  I've been away from ubuntu the past 5-6 months (for strange reasons).  Before i left the scene it was kiba-dock and beryl that takes over the desktop scenes.  Well... i installed kiba-dock on my laptop lastnight but my instincts are telling me that its not the popular dock of today
[04:10] <wers> have you heard that vlc is going qt? well that's offtopic. hehe
[04:10] <yabbo> or look at mediabuntu and install that
[04:10] <cgentry72> astro76: yes
[04:10] <kwan> took over*
[04:10] <astro76> cgentry72: that would be in the samaba config then
[04:10] <bobboy> also wers vlc audio playback didnt work for my fresh after installing.. i had to change the audio source from the default one to alsamixer
[04:10] <d4t4min3r> anyone know?
[04:11] <bobboy> something like that.. and now it works great :)
[04:11] <yabbo> kwan, never used that one i have always used AWN
[04:11] <d4t4min3r> cant get data icon? whats this mean
[04:11] <cgentry72> astro76: i can't find the samba config anywhere in the menu
[04:11] <harriseldon> d4tmin3r what were you trying to do when you got the error?
[04:11] <Jack_Sparrow> kwan this isnt the place for polls and questions of that sort...  see #Ubuntu-offtpoic for discussion and opinions about what people like best.
[04:11] <Mago_seiyu> como me voy a ubuntu.es ??
[04:11] <astro76> cgentry72: it's the file /etc/samba/smb.conf
[04:11] <Mago_seiyu> ubuntu-es
[04:11] <yabbo> i think awn looks better then cario-dock
[04:11] <bobboy> yabbo: the message seems to appear when theres alot of traffic for one site....
[04:11] <d4t4min3r> harriseldon: im in the middle of a update...
[04:11] <IdleOne> Mago_seiyu /join #ubuntu-es
[04:11] <astro76> Mago_seiyu: /join #ubuntu-es
[04:12] <cgentry72> astro76: ok thanks
[04:12] <d4t4min3r> 172 updates
[04:12] <DemonicButthead> Is there a better solution than the non-free flash drivers from adobe?
[04:12] <astro76> cgentry72: there's a line with workgroup = SOMETHING
[04:12] <teimu> DemonicButthead, what does better mean? free?
[04:12] <Lanlost> hey, isn't ndiswrapper included on the ubuntu cd?
[04:12] <mixter> i want a free flash drive
[04:12] <harriseldon> teimu my sentiments exactly. you beat me to it. lol
[04:13] <mixter> it is
[04:13] <DemonicButthead> teimu - better as in works better?  seemless?
[04:13] <yabbo> kwan http://wiki.awn-project.org/index.php?title=Main_Page its fully customizable
[04:13] <yabbo> bobboy, not sure what to tell you about that :(
[04:13] <d4t4min3r> harriseldon: any idea?
[04:13] <teimu> DemonicButthead, the non-free's are going to be the most comprehensive.
[04:14] <bobboy> yabbo: really though lol.. i could understand if the entire net dropped that just be because wireless net sucks but it doesnt.. i can still surf other pages which leads me to think its FF's fault lol
[04:14] <DemonicButthead> teimu - but gnash only seems to 'partially' work on some web pages
[04:14] <yabbo> bobboy, might be a timeout issue in FF3
[04:14] <blackvd> Did a fresh install of Hardy on a HP dv6000 of my housemates and the wifi chip I guess is broadcom which worked at first after installing the restricted drivers. Now it doesn't seem to either detect the card at all or scan, not sure. Not sure where to start with this so any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
[04:14] <teimu> DemonicButthead, yea...so get the non-free's if you want it to work fully
[04:14] <harriseldon> D4tmin3r did this occur during command line update or from update manager?
[04:14] <mixter> blackvd
[04:14] <mixter> same problem
[04:15] <mixter> if i figure it out ill let ya know
[04:15] <mixter> broadcom 83xx
[04:15] <blackvd> cool same here
[04:15] <d4t4min3r> harriseldon: its just a icon up where the update icon comes from
[04:15] <bobboy> yabbo: happens when i do alot of things fast like youtube or facebook and such.. its weird lol really weird and getting annoying.. cant wait till the devs put the repository up for rc1 to see if it fixes the issue..
[04:15] <teimu> DemonicButthead, you should be able to download the plugin right throught firefox
[04:15] <DemonicButthead> teimu - my contention is that the gnash setup didn't work fully.. thats what lead me to thinking the non-free would be better to use
[04:15] <d4t4min3r> what is the best buy when buying a wireless card.. best support for ubuntu?
[04:15] <mixter> blackdvd which one is it
[04:15] <mixter> what model
[04:15] <teimu> DemonicButthead, i'd agree with that
[04:15] <harriseldon> d4t4min3r did it prevent the update from continuing?
[04:15] <d4t4min3r> no
[04:15] <blackvd> not sure how do I check? I believe the 43XX
[04:15] <mixter> blackdvd mine is Broadcom BCM4328 802 ABGN
[04:16] <yabbo> bobboy, thats why i try not to get into an OS the day it comes out even though its hard for me :p
[04:16] <mixter> in hardy go to hardware test
[04:16] <fserve_> Emu de NES java p/ FIREFOX: http://www.firenes.com.ar/firenes-1.0.xpi
[04:16] <DemonicButthead> temiu = the non-free drivers for some reason work on 10 or 12 web pages and then all of the sudden stop working?
[04:16] <blackvd> did that but it didn't even do an internet check
[04:16] <yabbo> bobboy, i always want to install an OS the day it comes out and im always let down
[04:16] <SeaPhor> d4t4min3r, laptop or desktop
[04:16] <Arrick> !dpkg-reconfigure
[04:16] <blackvd> which is weird cause my laptop did
[04:16] <d4t4min3r> desktop
[04:16] <kyle_> what is the best aim client to use on ubuntu?
[04:16] <d4t4min3r> SeaPhor: desktop
[04:16] <Arrick> !dpkg
[04:16] <d4t4min3r> kyle_: pidgin
[04:17] <kyle_> d4t4min3r, it doesn't allow you to do group chats though
[04:17] <teimu> DemonicButthead, hmm, troubleshooting that is a bit out of my league
[04:17] <d4t4min3r> i dont think aim allows group chats anymore
[04:17] <mixter> blackdvd
[04:17] <bobboy> yabbo: lol k thx anyway man.. and do you know how to turn off the system beep (like in terminal when you backspace and there is nothing to backspace or even in pidgin?)?
[04:17] <mixter> skip test until it shows you your network info
[04:17] <SeaPhor> d4t4min3r, check out the pci 4130 pci here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HardwareSupportComponentsWirelessNetworkCardsAirlink101
[04:17] <Lanlost> hey, is there a problem with Broadcom BCM4328 in hardy?
[04:17] <blackvd> mixter: doesn't show it
[04:18] <mixter> it does
[04:18] <DemonicButthead> teimu.. thanks anyway bud.. i'll retry the other flash options and settle if i can
[04:18] <mixter> 3rd click in
[04:18] <yabbo> bobboy, looking 1 min
[04:18] <d4t4min3r> SeaPhor: so nothing i could buy from best buy that would work out of box with ubuntu
[04:18] <mixter> itll tell you your wifi name and your ethernet name
[04:18] <cyberbuff> Hi! Is python comes installed in Hardy?
[04:18] <mixter> system hardware testing
[04:18] <mixter> skip test
[04:18] <blackvd> mixter: goes from res to mouse
[04:18] <teimu> cyberbuff, try python in the console. that'll tell you
[04:18] <bobboy> yabbo: nvm i found it
[04:18] <mixter> afdter that

[04:19] <blackvd> mixter: must not be detecting it at all?
[04:19] <bobboy> yabbo: how do i disable recent documents?
[04:19] <theFATMAN> demonicbutthead:i am having trouble getting it going bro
[04:19] <harriseldon> d4t4min3r did you look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WirelessCardsSupported  for wireless cards that are supported?
[04:19] <yabbo> bobboy, dont :p
[04:19] <DemonicButthead> theFATMAN.. in what way?
[04:19] <mixter> is the switch on
[04:20] <bobboy> yabbo: why not lol.. they are a security issue AND i never use it anyway lol
[04:20] <teimu> cyberbuff, mmm, sorry to presume. yes, it does come with hardy
[04:20] <clayd> does anyone know of a simple billing system for tracking customers and creating bills
[04:20] <DemonicButthead> theFATMAN..  the digitizer.. i got lost on that when i installed ubuntu on my x41
[04:20] <clayd> out side of a spreadsheet :)
[04:20] <theFATMAN> demonicbutthead: in every way, i am a new linux convert, so i am migrating everything over
[04:20] <SeaPhor> d4t4min3r, i'm sorry, but i dont do any business with best buy, and i had this in 2 days, and after 6 months of ndiswrapper fighting, and config this and that, i bought this , installed the hardware and was DONE! it worked, no probs
[04:20] <cyberbuff> teimu: thanks for your info! :)
[04:20] <UberCanuck> anyone know the real reason UbuntuLive2008 was cancelled?
[04:20] <blackvd> mixter: yep
[04:20] <Arrick> hey, how do I go about reconfiguring video on 8.04?
[04:20] <theFATMAN> DemonicButthead: i have ubuntu AMD64bit
[04:20] <DemonicButthead> theFATMAN.. what model tablet are you using?
[04:20] <mixter> hmm
[04:20] <yabbo> bobboy,  https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/14164
[04:20] <mixter> *hands up*
[04:21] <theFATMAN> DemonicButthead:Bamboo
[04:21] <blackvd> mixter: should show up in lspci right?
[04:21] <mixter> yea
[04:21] <teimu> Arrick, what aspect of video? resolution? playing videos?
[04:21] <SeaPhor> d4t4min3r, follow the link i sent you, it says no config, works out of the box
[04:21] <Arrick> teimu video in general, closing my laptop lid screws up the picture to the point it needs a hard reboot to get it back
[04:21] <theFATMAN> DemonicButthead: i have everything wacom from the pckg mngr, but...no good so far
[04:22] <bobboy> thx yabbo
[04:22] <yabbo> bobboy, np
[04:22] <DemonicButthead> theFATMAN.. which processor do they use in that tablet?
[04:22] <teimu> Arrick, System->Prefrences->Power Management
[04:22] <eross> version 8.04, I wonder why my fps is terrible, even in openarena it is around 100-120
[04:22] <bobboy> yabbo: try loading something in youtube and keep it open.. than lock your system.. do you see outlines of the video in your screensaver?
[04:22] <theFATMAN> DemonicButthead: i didnt know that it did, actually
[04:22] <Arrick> teimu that doesnt do it, its all disabled
[04:23] <yabbo> bobboy, 1 min :p i dont think i have a screensaver but ill try
[04:23] <bobboy> yabbo: i use flurry
[04:23] <afallenhope> Anyone know how to get Desktop Cube?
[04:23] <Lanlost> blackvd, I'm assissting mixter right now.. I'll let you know if the method I give him works
[04:23] <bobboy> yabbo: it also works for me if i use flipflop
[04:23] <yabbo> bobboy, i use a black screen as my screen saver let me change it
[04:23] <afallenhope> I have compiz in installed but I don't have the "Desktop Efffect" in the menu
[04:23] <bobboy> k
[04:24] <mixter> blackdvd
[04:24] <mixter> lanlost
[04:24] <Lanlost> yo
[04:24] <mixter> were all in the same boat
[04:24] <teimu> Arrick, hmm. it seems ubuntu thinks your system is a desktop...or something. try installing gnome-power-manager
[04:24] <mixter> invit him in
[04:24] <bobboy> afallenhope: look for a package called advanced desktop effect settins
[04:24] <Lincooled> afallenhope: you should check it in the config menu
[04:24] <harriseldon> afallenhope are desktop effects enabled in system-preferences-appearance?
[04:24] <blackvd> Lanlost: thanks I'm thinking his wi-fi card might be bad cause under windows he had to constantly reinstall his drivers
[04:24] <bobboy> settings*
[04:24] <mixter> he has a dv6000
[04:24] <yabbo> bobboy, nope and i turned on flurry
[04:24] <mixter> same wifi card
[04:24] <bobboy> afallenhope: youll love it
[04:24] <Lanlost> blackvd, well your problem isn't really the same.. mixter didn't know how to load the drivers at all
[04:25] <mixter> :-p
[04:25] <teimu> Arrick, that'd be sudo apt-get install gnome-power-manager in the console
[04:25] <afallenhope> I don't have Desktop effect ins hte menu
[04:25] <Arrick> teimu its installed already
[04:25] <Lanlost> so I had him use ndiswrapper and a windows inf with the idea to use that to use the restricted driver after he gets the internet
[04:25] <yabbo> bobboy, im on 7.10 not 8.04 :p
[04:25] <mixter> im getting real close
[04:25] <Lanlost> I hope you aren't having the same problem I had with my broadcom
[04:25] <kyle_> I need an aim client for ubuntu that allows you to do group chats?
[04:25] <bobboy> yabbo: im on 8.04
[04:25] <bobboy> yabbo: lol
[04:25] <afallenhope> I have desktop effects enabled
[04:25] <teimu> Arrick, so what is different after closing the lid?
[04:25] <Lanlost> My laptop was a compaq and had a button that would let you turn off and on the wireless.
[04:25] <mixter> nice lanlost wise words lol
[04:26] <Lincooled> in configcompiz setting manager
[04:26] <Lanlost> I installed leopard on to my laptop and it wouldn't work and I eventually found out that Macbooks have the same card EXACTLY
[04:26] <Arrick> teimu the screen just scrambles, want to vnc in and see?
[04:26] <Arrick> lol
[04:26] <mixter> i hope i dont have any problems at all
[04:26] <kyle_> I need an aim client for ubuntu that allows you to do group chats?
[04:26] <Lanlost> but it wouldn't even scan or find the card, like you are saying
[04:26] <Lincooled> afallenhope: disable desktop wall and check desktop cube
[04:26] <mandrig> afallenhope: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager
[04:26] <teimu> Arrick, uhh, that's ok, for your security's sake...
[04:26] <bobboy> afallenhope: Applications --> Add/Remove search advanced should be first package there called Advanced Desktop Effects Settings (ccsm)
[04:26] <Lanlost> the reason was that the light was off.. most of these buttons when you click them just disable the card in the OS.. but it turns out that the button actually disables the card by turning off its power
[04:27] <harriseldon> kyle_ is that a question? Are you planning on using group chats? If not, it should not matter.
[04:27] <Lanlost> so without power it can't even get detected..
[04:27] <Dew420> In your opinion : best game pre-packed with ubuntu?
[04:27] <yabbo> bobboy, http://www.senjinprophets.com/screenshot.png
[04:27] <kyle_> harriseldon, yes I am planning on using group chats
[04:27] <_s_a_t_a_n_> I tried to boot almost ALL linux live cd's, noone works. They cannot find the root filesystem and bring me to a limited shell. Why can this error happen with absolutely all linux live cd's on my hardware???
[04:27] <kyle_> harriseldon, if I wasn't going to use group chats I would just use meebo.
[04:27] <Lanlost> it's just ironic that macbooks use the same card natively and I couldn't get the card to work because of a toggle button
[04:27] <teimu> Arrick, had this been happening ever since you installed ubuntu?
[04:28] <Lanlost> but make sure the buttons on for you, It might be the same problem
[04:28] <Lanlost> the light wouldn't work at all without the restricted driver on for me or with ndiswrapper
[04:28] <Arrick> yes teimu
[04:28] <lumbuntu> gnight all
[04:28] <harriseldon> kyle_ fyi meebo uses pidgin as the backend
[04:28] <mandrig> !google
[04:28] <bobboy> yabbo: sexy
[04:29] <yabbo> bobboy,  :p
[04:29] <k20a> what app do i use for viewing a desktop larger then what my display device is
[04:29] <mrobbins> :P
[04:29] <teimu> Arrick. i dunno man. try the forums maybe? theres some really bright people there (too)
[04:30] <DemonicButthead> how do you get swfdec-mozilla to load flash files and start playing automatically?
[04:30] <EneergE> has anyone here experience segfaults after running vmware for a while. Whenever I return back to linux from my windows vm, everything I open closes immediately after I try to type in something. EG, I open firefox. Bout to type something in the google search, and it closes whenever I hit the first key. It does this with everything, except nautilus. Alt+tab doesn't work, and the shift+right-arrow for highlighting doesn't work either
[04:30] <EneergE> or highlighting doesn't work either
[04:30] <mixter> IT WORKS
[04:30] <mixter> its alive!
[04:30] <bobboy> yabbo: tried installed AWN but that thing was just horrible
[04:30] <yabbo> bobboy, on 8.04?
[04:30] <bobboy> yabbo: yes sir
[04:31] <mixter> lanlost is king in these far territories
[04:31] <yabbo> bobboy, it works great on 7.10 i dont think its tested on 8.04 yet
[04:31] <SeaPhor> Lanlost, just a word of newfound info, most w-cards (especially HP machines) need power on before/during the drivers are installed, and before the manager is installed(whatever manager is used), or the manager will not work
[04:31] <EneergE> anyone have any idea
[04:31] <bobboy> yabbo: worked great if you have an idea of what your doing.. deffinitly not something to try for a first timer lol
[04:31] <mixter> i just installed my drivers
[04:32] <mixter> they work flawlessly
[04:32] <mixter> broadcome 4328
[04:32] <yabbo> bobboy, lol true
[04:32] <harriseldon> kyle_ it seems like pidgin supports group chat. Have you tried to use it in pidgin?
[04:33] <yabbo> bobboy, would be nice to have a preconfiged ubuntu release from the mac4lin group
[04:33] <blackvd> Lanlost: so when I installed hardy on this hp dv6000 it asked to install restricted wi-fi drivers b43-fwcutter which are not working now. So should I uninstall them and install the bcm43xx-fwcutter driver or try the ndiswrapper route?
[04:33] <Mago_seiyu> ubuntu.es
[04:33] <Jaredu> muahahhahha
[04:33] <mrobbins> i'm on pidgin
[04:33] <Jaredu> just wanted to let you guys know i got it working :d
[04:33] <mixter> blackdvd
[04:33] <harriseldon> kyle_ choose buddies-join a chat and type in group name
[04:33] <theFATMAN> hello, guys
[04:33] <mixter> i just did the ndiswrapper route
[04:33] <Jaredu> compiz + 8.04 +nvidia 9800GTX FTW!
[04:33] <mixter> then i browsed the inf file
[04:33] <Jaredu> caio

[04:34] <theFATMAN> who can help a newb get a wacom tablet going on ubuntu 8.04, AMD 64bit?
[04:34] <Mago_seiyu> ubunru.es
[04:34] <Mago_seiyu> ??
[04:34] <Mago_seiyu> help ubuntu.es?
[04:34] <kyle_> harriseldon, how do you invite people to that though
[04:34] <mixter> blackdvd first extract files in temp directory
[04:34] <bobboy> yabbo: i got fed up with it.. you need to have compiz on which i only know how to do from appearence --> visual effects ... from there wasnt sure if you needed normal or extra..  tutorial neglects to mention it.. than the whole delete gnome panel was REALLY REALLY sketchy.. started AWN clicked save process and checked start open processes on startup.. restarted and that didnt work at all
[04:35] <SeaPhor> mixter,  just a word of newfound info, for future, most w-cards (especially HP machines) need power (to the device) on before/during the drivers are installed, and before the manager is installed(whatever manager is used), or the manager will not work
[04:35] <DemonicButthead> theFATMAN.. is your tablet 64 bit capable?
[04:35] <mixter> gotcha
[04:35] <harriseldon> kyle_ I have never used it. You probably check pidgin's website for documentation
[04:35] <mixter> i had it on the whole time

[04:35] <theFATMAN> DemonicButthead: yes
[04:35] <Jack_Sparrow> !es | Mago_seiyu
[04:35] <yabbo> bobboy, you have to have the compiz extras installed and a few other things aswell

[04:36] <synacktion> has anyone run into a problem where monitor mode just doesn't return any results when I know there are wifi packets flying around?

[04:37] <SeaPhor> mixter, any chance any of your clan is on HP machines, just checking cause i move to the linux dept next week :-)
[04:37] <yabbo> bobboy, NOTE: Beryl or Compiz (Composite managers) is required for AWN. If you do not use those then you can try the Simdock package
[04:38] <harriseldon> kyle_ did you try conversation->invite once you are in chat? I do not use chat rooms through AIM so I do not know how it works
[04:38] <yabbo> bobboy,  which means you need the compiz manager
[04:38] <mixter> i have 4 hp machines present
[04:38] <gooody> anyone here knows how to automatically disable laptop speakers when a headset is plug?
[04:38] <bobboy> yabbo: so i was stuck with a desktop without ANY panels at all.. luckily i made my windows button open a terminal.. tried to start awn and it said i needed to do something with compiz like compiz -fusion or something.. did that but there was a bunch of other stuff like warnings and stuff.. so i started up gnome panel again and tinkered some more and FINALLY got AWN open but it still wouldnt start on restart (gave up be

[04:39] <mixter> <= IT department
[04:39] <SeaPhor> mixter, lol, then blame this on the bios ;-)
[04:39] <yabbo> bobboy, you have to set it up to start as a service
[04:39] <tarelerulz> I am trying to record my screen with audio ,but all the programs I have been using Do video or sound fine ,but when you try to take them together the sound has bad parts in it.  What is good screencast program
[04:39] <bobboy> yabbo: i did that was why i was angry lol
[04:39] <compaqr4000>  I am running open office calc via a ssh session and it keeps "greying out" every about 15 seconds.  It does so for about 10 seconds.  Why would that be?
[04:39] <mixter> i cant believe that that network driver worked with ndis
[04:39] <harriseldon> gooody what ubuntu version are you using? PulseAudio may do it automatically, otherwise there is usually a headphone jack sense flag in the volume mixer for the device.
[04:39] <mixter> seaphor its amazing i have internet on hardy
[04:39] <bobboy> yabbo: it was setup as a service but it just didnt start..
[04:39] <gooody> harriseldon: ubuntu hardy
[04:40] <SeaPhor> mixter, great  aint it!, i fought 6 months for wireless!
[04:40] <harriseldon> gooody is the headset a usb headset or through the speaker jack?
[04:40] <mixter> i did it in 45 minute with the help of lanlost
[04:40] <Mago_seiyu> #ubuntu-es
[04:40] <gooody> harriseldon: through speaker jack
[04:40] <mixter> seaphor can you help me with nvidia driver

[04:41] <mixter> how do you install it seaphor
[04:41] <hi> anyone know where a mac stores all it's passwords
[04:42] <mixter> yea in the mac keybox
[04:42] <james296> does anyone here know of an easy way to upgrade Nexuiz 2.4 to Nexuiz 2.4.2?
[04:42] <mixter> you need to get a macpick and a mac hammer to open the macbox
[04:42] <yabbo> bobboy, try 7.10 :p everything is currently set to work with it and wait till everything is fixed for 8.04
[04:42] <james296> because Im worried about copying and pasting files from the patch to seperate folders that the nexuiz files are located in
[04:42] <SeaPhor> mixter, system>administration>hardware drivers
[04:42] <harriseldon> gooody there may be a switch in the volume control. Open the volume control. Then change the device to the Alsa version. Then under Edit Preferences look for an item that may correspond to headphone jack sense or something similar. Then enable it
[04:42] <hi> mixter, where is that, what file speciffically
[04:42] <mixter> it wont let me
[04:43] <DemonicButthead> what would make num lock not work on my desktop?
[04:43] <mixter> seaphor it says its a proprietary drive
[04:43] <Lanlost_> .. what the hell
[04:43] <blackvd> mixter: ok I transferred the exe driver to the other computer and put in a folder named wifi in the home dir
[04:43] <mixter> and that its not allowe doto install it
[04:43] <mandrig> haha
[04:43] <james296> anyone plz
[04:43] <Lanlost_> I stopped getting text, but I'm still logged in
[04:43] <blackvd> mixter: how do I extract it?
[04:43] <bazhang> Lanlost_, languuage please
[04:43] <Lanlost_> anyone know how to nickserv kill your ghost?
[04:43] <IdleOne> DemonicButtheadyou want numlock auto right? or it doesnt work at all?
[04:43] <Lanlost_> sorry baz
[04:43] <mixter> blackdvd you need to extract that exe first
[04:43] <mixter> yea
[04:43] <blackvd> mixter: how do you extract an exe?
[04:43] <Lanlost> voila
[04:43] <astro76> Lanlost: /msg nickserv ghost nick passwd
[04:43] <bazhang> Lanlost_, /nick newnick then identify
[04:44] <Lanlost> yeah thanks astro I just used help
[04:44] <Odd-rationale> how do you update the time to the correct time from the command line? Thanks!
[04:44] <Lanlost> and thanks to you too baz
[04:44] <astro76> hi: try #macosx
[04:44] <Turno> Why isn't emerald included with ubuntu by default?
[04:44] <DemonicButthead> idleone - numlock doesn't do anything in ubuntu on my computer
[04:44] <mixter> blackdvd need to extract it on a thumb drive
[04:44] <mixter> on a windows machine
[04:44] <IdleOne> Turno not everyone wants emarald
[04:44] <woli> is there any music player adapted to sandisk players?
[04:44] <bazhang> Lanlost, :)
[04:44] <DemonicButthead> what is emerald in a nutshell?
[04:44] <mixter> then move the extract file/folder to ,my docs on your ubuntu
[04:44] <blackvd> um ok that's gonna be tricky
[04:44] <SeaPhor> mixter, do a gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf   and pastebin for me plz?
[04:44] <Turno> IdleOne: not everyone wants Openoffice
[04:44] <IdleOne> !emerald
[04:45] <sam_delta> blackvd use cabexe to extract exe files
[04:45] <Lanlost> blackvd, you can do it without a windows machine
[04:45] <harriseldon> Odd-rationale have you looked at the ntpdate command?
[04:45] <mixter> seaphor
[04:45] <mixter> workin on it
[04:45] <Odd-rationale> harriseldon: ok. will look. thanks!
[04:45] <james296> PLZ someone help me out
[04:45] <Lanlost> I've got a question, I made my default username my name.. I really want it to be lanlost
[04:45] <Lanlost> Is there anyway to create a new user and then get rid of the old?
[04:45] <gooody> harriseldon: i have enable the headphone switch but it still don't work.
[04:46] <Lanlost> I mean, will that work.. I didn't know if the one I made during install had anything special about it
[04:46] <markginter24> How would I find out the reason my laptop does not suspend/resume in Hardy -- it does in fedora 9, opensuse 11betas and foresight 2 -- but not ubuntu ...
[04:46] <Lanlost> I doubt it seeing that theres no root enabled by default
[04:46] <astro76> Lanlost: the only thing special that you'll have to add to the second, is to make it a member of the admin group, to have sudo rights
[04:46] <SeaPhor> mixter, i have an issue, can you /join #SeaPhor to work on this?
[04:46] <harriseldon> gooody that has worked for me in the past, however hardy uses pulse audio instead of alsa. have you checked forums or wiki or google?
[04:46] <mixter> seaphoir
[04:46] <mixter> join my chat
[04:47] <tonyyarusso> Lanlost: the first one is a member of the 'admin' group.
[04:47] <gooody> harriseldon: thanks for the help. i'll try check the forum.
[04:47] <harriseldon> markginter24 look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UnderstandingSuspend for help with suspend
[04:47] <markginter24> thank you harriseldon - will do ...
[04:49] <illriginal> hey guys, what's the command to stop GDM?...
[04:49] <astro76> illriginal: sudo invoke-rc.d gdm stop
[04:49] <illriginal> Cool.
[04:49] <hoonteke> sudo /etc/init.d/gdm stop
[04:49] <hoonteke> huh, invoke-rc.d is new.  I like it
[04:49] <caubekid> he
[04:49] <illriginal> ah I used that before. good stuff, astro76 and hoonteke
[04:50] <caubekid> hi
[04:50] <astro76> hoonteke: update-rc.d is even handier to know ;)
[04:50] <No1CaNTeL> hey guys, I'm trying to setup a dual boot with XP and for some reason when I boot from the xp disc it says taht there is no HDD present :( anyone have an idea?  tia
[04:50] <illriginal> what exactly is that for, astro76?
[04:50] <rpedro> is it just me, or was gnome-system-monitor's cpu usage fixed in hardy?
[04:50] <hoonteke> thanks astro76
[04:50] <markginter24> harriseldon -- through my googling/ubuntuforum-ing I've come across most of those issues.  I suspect it has something to do with the ati driver - but it doesn't make sense - since it works fine in foresight 2
[04:50] <hoonteke> 'night all
[04:51] <Newbuntu2> hello
[04:51] <astro76> illriginal: update-rc.d can be used to install and remove the init script links
[04:51] <harriseldon> markginter24 are you using the free driver or the ATI binary driver? That may be the difference.
[04:51] <AzMoo> astro76: The man page says it's not intended to be used by people.
[04:51] <redhat2> ok i have a question
[04:51] <markginter24> harriseldon -- only the free driver
[04:51] <Newbuntu2> Does anyone know of software to do video conferencing (ie, video chat with more than 2 participants)?
[04:51] <markginter24> but it hangs using either one
[04:51] <redhat2> how in the world do i get my broadcom bcm4328 card working in hardy?
[04:52] <markginter24> redhat2 - did you try the Hardware Drivers option
[04:52] <markginter24> System --> Administration --> Hardware Drivers
[04:52] <redhat2> markginter24 where's that?
[04:52] <redhat2> oh ok thanks
[04:52] <astro76> AzMoo: for update-rc.d, yeah true
[04:52] <markginter24> np
[04:52] <SilverMx> guys, how install anything in unix systems? (ubuntu of course)
[04:52] <mandrig> Newbuntu2: http://www.oovoo.com//download/ if you're willing to use wine as well
[04:53] <redhat2> markginter24 nope not in there...just my nvidia chipset
[04:53] <astro76> AzMoo: because there are easier tools to use
[04:53] <Odd-rationale> any suggestion for some good games for a low-end machine? i got fb and wormux... what else?
[04:53] <AzMoo> astro76: yeah, sysv-rc-conf.
[04:53] <Rixon-> redhat2: most likely you will have to use fwcutter or ndiswrapper to cut drivers out of the firmware of the broadcom routers, broadcom do not release source of their chipset drivers so you won't find any.
[04:53] <markginter24> redhat2 - what chipset?  it's a wireless card, no?
[04:53] <redhat2> anyone care to help me set that up?
[04:53] <redhat2> yeah it's a broadcom laptop wireless card
[04:54] <Rixon-> pcmcia?
[04:54] <redhat2> bcm4328
[04:54] <The-Bleh-Bleh> Hello, I have a question for anybody- Is it unheard of for a Cat5 cable to have a break randomly in the middle?
[04:54] <illriginal> ekiga?... not sure
[04:54] <redhat2> no, internal
[04:54] <Rixon-> hm
[04:54] <mandrig> The-Bleh-Bleh: no, its happened to several of mine
[04:54] <AzMoo> The-Bleh-Bleh: No, but it does usually imply somebody's run over it with something.
[04:54] <Rixon-> i'm still thinking you'll probably have to use fwcutter
[04:54] <astro76> AzMoo: actually from reading the invoke-rc.d description, depending on what you need to accomplish, it isn't appropriate either
[04:54] <mandrig> Newbuntu2: did you get my message?
[04:55] <mixter> hi rixon
[04:55] <The-Bleh-Bleh> AzMoo: The thing is, it's brand new.  35 feet though.
[04:55] <mixter> welcome back
[04:55] <Rixon-> ty
[04:55] <Rixon-> =)
[04:55] <markginter24> redhat2 - sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter
[04:55] <Rasputin> Is this where I ask people simple questions :'D
[04:56] <woli> the console says i need to reconfigure dpkg when i sudo apt-get install!??
[04:56] <redhat2> i dont know why they had to break it on me...it worked fine in feisty
[04:56] <markginter24> redhat2 - when it installs it should ask you to download the firmware - allow it to do that -- and then simply sudo rmmod b43  and then sudo modprobe b43
[04:56] <AzMoo> astro76: One wonders why you wouldn't just run the init script directly.
[04:56] <Starnestommy> woli: what exactly does it tell you?
[04:56] <AzMoo> astro76: Unless you were using it in a script.
[04:56] <Newbuntu2> mandrig: I'm checking it out. Looks like it's just what I need, thanks! The fact that it's windows is better, the other people don't run linux... :(
[04:56] <astro76> AzMoo: yeah I believe you should run it directly, I won't be recommending invoke-rc.d anymore ;)
[04:57] <Newbuntu2> mandrig: Is this the only one, or are there other alternatives to compare to?
[04:57] <Rixon-> markginter24: i'm sure a root shell would be easier than all those sudo commands in a row
[04:57] <redhat2> anyone know the best way to play counterstrike on ubuntu?
[04:57] <mandrig> Newbuntu2: I just googled 'free video conferencing' and that was the first link
[04:57] <woli> sudo: unable to resolve host <my host name>
[04:57] <woli> E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run "dpkg --configure -a" to correct the problem
[04:57] <kappaccino> redhat2: install windows?
[04:57] <markginter24> Rixon - I guess so -- I'm a fast typer so I don't mind...
[04:57] <Starnestommy> woli: run sudo dpkg --configure -a
[04:57] <redhat2> hell no kappaccino haha
[04:57] <No1CaNTeL> could someone please help me setup a dal boot with XP? for some reason when I boot xp the setup errors saying it cannot detect a HDD. tia :D
[04:58] <kappaccino> then tough luck :P
[04:58] <Rixon-> redhat2: either steam on wine, or a virtaul machine
[04:58] <redhat2> i guess i'll stick to wine or crossover
[04:58] <The-Bleh-Bleh> One more question- With a cat5 cable, does it matter what colors you use where, as long as both sides of the cords match?
[04:58] <kappaccino> j/k I'm sure there is a way. I just don't know
[04:58] <AzMoo> The-Bleh-Bleh: Nope, doesn't matter, although it's usually good to conform to the standard.
[04:59] <keithclark> Can you swith between two different users with one using kde and the other gnome?
[04:59] <keithclark> *switch
[04:59] <The-Bleh-Bleh> Thanks.
[04:59] <Starnestommy> keithclark: yes
[04:59] <xorand> how do I start a k desktop environment?
[04:59] <Starnestommy> xorand: look in the sessions or options menu at the login screen
[04:59] <keithclark> Starnestommy: just using the standard "switch user" option?
[04:59] <woli> Starnestommy, it says sudo: unable to resolve host ahain
[04:59] <woli> again*
[04:59] <xorand> Starnestommy, thank you
[04:59] <Starnestommy> keithclark: yes
[05:00] <kappaccino> Rixon-: I'm interested in this virtual machine, PM ?
[05:00] <Starnestommy> woli: did you recently try to change your computer's name?
[05:00] <Rixon-> ?
[05:00] <Rixon-> ok.
[05:00] <Rixon-> kappaccino: i cant pm, non-reg'd nick
[05:00] <woli> no....
[05:00] <kappaccino> doh
[05:01] <woli> i just tried to install an app and entered my password wrong...
[05:01] <Starnestommy> Rixon-: http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#userregistration shows how to register
[05:01] <Rixon-> lol i know how to
[05:01] <Rixon-> i just cant be bothered
[05:01] <markginter24> so ... anyone an expert on suspend issues with laptops?
[05:01] <kappaccino> anywhoo, so it's just an emulated windows right? (if I was using linux)
[05:01] <Rixon-> what did you want to know anyway?
[05:02] <Rixon-> yeah it's like running a non-existant computer, in a window, you can instal anything on it, BSD/linux/unix/mac/windows/whatever
[05:02] <markginter24> redhat2 any luck with the b43?
[05:02] <Rixon-> you save a file as a disk image, that becomes your virtual hard drive
[05:02] <kappaccino> and you can install windows programs within the virtual machine? save settings etc?
[05:02] <redhat2> markginter24 waiting for this updating to finish before i can do it
[05:02] <Rixon-> yeah
[05:02] <redhat2> care to PM me?
[05:02] <redhat2> so it's easier to talk
[05:03] <markginter24> redhat2 - non-registered nick -- sorry...
[05:03] <Rixon-> lookup virtualbox/vmware/JVM
[05:03] <redhat2> ah ok
[05:03] <provolik> Hi
[05:03] <kappaccino> for example, if I had this windows only insurance application (assume wine didn't work), I could run a vm of windows, install that and use it?
[05:03] <DemonicButthead> how do you use the 'cube' feature in compiz?
[05:03] <zChris_> kappaccino yes
[05:03] <Rixon-> yes
[05:03] <francisco1> hola
[05:03] <Rixon-> DemonicButthead: it's a plugin
[05:04] <Rixon-> you need the compizconfig manager
[05:04] <No1CaNTeL> ne1?? :(
[05:04] <mandrig> !es
[05:04] <kappaccino> I hear virtual machines need the RAM, will 1gb be enough?
[05:04] <DemonicButthead> right.. i have the compiz config manager installed.. i don't know what the keyboard command is for it
[05:04] <Rixon-> kappaccino: i doubt xp needs a gig
[05:04] <DemonicButthead> is there a guide to compiz keyboard commands?
[05:04] <Rixon-> kappaccino: afaik xp will run on 256mb
[05:04] <kappaccino> this will probably be win2003 server
[05:04] <woli> whats the command for the force quit thing?
[05:04] <mixter> hello all
[05:04] <kappaccino> but that's xp anyway :P
[05:04] <EneergE> I've run vmware workstation on a laptop with 512mb of ram.. It crawls, but it runs
[05:04] <kappaccino> I think....
[05:04] <mixter> anyone help me install drivers for gfx card
[05:04] <mandrig> DemonicButthead: If you look through the compiz manager, then it will show the keyboard commands
[05:04] <zChris_> Rixon-: but uou would need abit more when using it in a VM
[05:05] <DemonicButthead> thanks mandrig.. i will look closer
[05:05] <Rixon-> DemonicButthead: the config is a program, it will be in system>preferences>advanced desktop settings
[05:05] <keithclark> What is the synaptic command to install kde 4?
[05:05] <Rixon-> there's no hotkey to get to it
[05:05] <provolik> How can I simulate the 'enter' signal in a cron way?
[05:05] <DemonicButthead> thanks Rixon :)
[05:05] <astro76> keithclark: sudo apt-get install kubuntu-kde4-desktop
[05:05] <zChris_> DemonicButthead: i believe you need to isntall compiz-settings-manager if you havent already
[05:06] <Rixon-> zChris_: i dont think the guest os would requier more ram, if anything your host os will be using more, for the emulation
[05:06] <keithclark> astro76: thanks.  Do gnome and kde4 co-exist in a friendly way?
[05:06] <Rixon-> zChris_: i allready told him that, he has compizconfig
[05:06] <mandrig> DemonicButthead: for example, keycomman for starting the desktop cube is <ctrl> <alt> <down>
[05:06] <DemonicButthead> zChris.. i have it installed, however.. what is the reference to 'super' key?  i don't know where the heck thats supposed to be :P
[05:06] <mandrig> DemonicButthead: the super key is the 'windows' key
[05:06] <Rixon-> DemonicButthead: superkey is the windows key
[05:06] <astro76> keithclark: sure
[05:06] <zChris_> Rixon-: thats what i mean, since you are using a vm you would need more ram to run an os in it.
[05:07] <provolik> kappacino, I run XP on a vmware with 1gb of ram and it works very well. It runs perfectly a fastcad application.
[05:07] <woli> whats the command for the forcequit pannel app?
[05:07] <Rixon-> yes but we were talking about how much ram xp required, not your host os
[05:07] <astro76> woli: xkill
[05:07] <woli> thanks!
[05:07] <Rasputin> When I boot the Ubuntu installer disk I get a message saying "Error reading boot disk."  Why is that?
[05:08] <provolik> I need a way to simulate the pression of the enter button every day at a certain time. Is this possible?
[05:08] <keithclark> astro76: Well then, here goes.
[05:08] <Rixon-> provolik: i'm sure there are command schedulers out there
[05:08] <zChris_> Rixon-: think outside the box
[05:08] <astro76> provolik: what is supposed to receive the Enter?
[05:08] <Rixon-> zChris_: what?
[05:08] <Varak> provolik: man cron
[05:08] <woli> nice
[05:09] <woli> now i can <super>F force quit...
[05:09] <woli> anybody wants to know how to do it?
[05:09] <provolik> astro76, Do you mean what application?
[05:09] <woli> force quit
[05:09] <Varak> woli kill -9 PID
[05:09] <astro76> provolik: yeah
[05:09] <woli> yeah, sure
[05:09] <woli> i don't know what pid is that, but maybe it will turn off my pc or something
[05:09] <provolik> astro76, a internet browser or a console
[05:09] <Rixon-> fuck this i have a lot to do today and it's allready 5:09am, i gotta go to bed for 5 hrs
[05:09] <gligan> #Lom
[05:10] <Varak> woli: where PID is the process ID of what you wanna kill, probably see it at the top of the list in 'top' if not, ps -ef
[05:10] <astro76> !ohmy | Rixon-
[05:10] <mandrig> Rixon-: where are you?
[05:10] <Rixon-> uk
[05:10] <kappaccino> does keeping files on the linux desktop slowdown booting?
[05:10] <astro76> provolik: I don't know how you would do that with cron
[05:10] <Rixon-> kappaccino: no it just means you get those things called 'icons' on your desktop :o

[05:10] <Varak> provolik: you could cron some shell script that echos \n
[05:10]  * kappaccino shrugs
[05:10] <Rasputin> do burned Ubuntu installers not work well?
[05:11] <Rixon-> going now
[05:11] <Varak> provolik: a two line script,    #!/bin/sh      echo
[05:11] <Rixon-> night all
[05:11] <provolik> Varak, do you think this echos will be intercept by an internet browser?
[05:11] <Varak> provolik: a two line script,    #!/bin/sh      echo '\n'
[05:11] <redhat2> markginter24 that didnt work but i got it
[05:11] <redhat2> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx/Feisty_No-Fluff#head-d8ce0e35a4ccdbeddd6cf36f9cb23a11d8e0e9dc
[05:11] <astro76> Rasputin: it works fine... did you try the verify installation media, or whatever it's called, option when you boot the cd?
[05:11] <Varak> provolik: no, but to emulate a click or whatever you can use wget
[05:12] <Varak> and then put that on cron
[05:12] <Rixon-> Varak: that script wont 'press enter', it will just echoa  newline in a terminal.
[05:12] <Rasputin> astro: Yes, and I get an error message,
[05:12] <Rasputin> astro: "Could not read book disk"
[05:12] <Rasputin> boot*
[05:12] <Varak> yup, you're right
[05:12] <astro76> Rasputin: you should verify the iso you downloaded, and if that checks out maybe burn at a slower speed
[05:12] <provolik> Varak, I need that is the application to receive the enter signal
[05:13] <astro76> !md5 | Rasputin
[05:13] <bullgard4> How can I find out what video driver my computer is using? (After upgrading, it is no longer 'vesa'.)
[05:13] <Rasputin> thanks, I'll give it a shot
[05:14] <Varak> what happens when enter is pressed?
[05:14] <Varak> is it something that is exevuted that we can schedulte with cron?
[05:14] <Varak> what does pressing enter do
[05:15] <Varak> im asking to see if there is another way to do what you wanna get done
[05:15] <woli> how do i install a guitifications theme?
[05:16] <montpelie> hi to everybody
[05:17] <|7hs|> I have Gutsy installed on an OLPC XO-1, and am trying to set up wifi. iwconfig seems to connect to the AP, dhclient runs and fetches an IP and DNS settings (though there is one 'permission denied' error), but there is no gateway. If I try to add it manually with "route add default gw <IP_ADDRESS>" it causes the error "SIOCADDRT: No such process", and trying to ping the LAN or anything else causes "connect: Network is unreachable"
[05:17] <|7hs|> Does anyone have any idea what the problem is?
[05:20] <redhat2> how do i copy a file to a system folder? it keeps saying permission denied
[05:20] <redhat2> i'm trying to add a script to etc/init.d/
[05:20] <Flannel> redhat2: with sudo
[05:20] <redhat2> so what would the command be?
[05:21] <redhat2> Flannel I'm still pretty new to linux
[05:21] <Flannel> redhat2: sudo cp source dest
[05:21] <redhat2> i'm used to OS X
[05:21]  * No1CaNTeL wonders why his q has been ignored for half an hour while everyone else seems to get their answers within a few seconds?? :(
[05:21] <ReAn> how hard is it to set up that *nix -> AD link that is featured... what's it called now >_>
[05:21] <zChris_> No1CaNTeL: what was your q ?
[05:21] <mixter> guys new here what packages do you guys use on a daily basis
[05:21] <Flannel> No1CaNTeL: Your problem is a windows problem.   You should ask in ##windows
[05:21] <No1CaNTeL> how is it windows?
[05:22] <Flannel> No1CaNTeL: Because your windows disc won't boot?
[05:22] <No1CaNTeL> I am running ubuntu and I want to setup a dual boot with windows?
[05:22] <Starnestommy> No1CaNTeL: it's because XP isn't detecting the hard disk
[05:22] <No1CaNTeL> any ideas why that would happen?
[05:22] <mixter> you need sata driveres
[05:22] <No1CaNTeL> this was originally an xp system
[05:22] <mixter> then use your original xp disc
[05:22] <mixter> and you wotn have a problem
[05:23] <Flannel> No1CaNTeL: XP is ancient, they don't know about SATA drives.  You need to provide a floppy with drivers on it.  They can help you in ##windows
[05:23] <mixter> otherwise you need to slipstream your sata drivers win nlite
[05:23] <jc___> my print server has stopped working, I can connect to http://localhost:631/ but not to <IP_ADDRESS>:631 which is my IP.  no one on my home network can print now any ideas what the problem is?
[05:24] <ferfactor_> i installed another OS bit i want to format it i hope that you people can help me please http://img292.imageshack.us/my.php?image=pantallazomu4.png
[05:24] <ferfactor_> is the part /dev/sda6
[05:25] <No1CaNTeL> Were the drivers erased when I installed Ubuntu then? This system was originally XP, it was re formatted a few times with xp without this problem, it is only after I installed buntu that I have run into this issue, which is why I would think this is related to ubuntu more then windows?
[05:25] <Starnestommy> ferfactor_: it looks like it has /dev/sda1 set as the main partition
[05:25] <mrgibson> join #mysql
[05:25] <mrgibson> oups
[05:25] <ferfactor_> Starnestommy: yes is the main part...
[05:26] <Flannel> No1CaNTeL: Existing operating systems have no part in the installation of new ones
[05:26] <ferfactor_> when my computer starts appear me a screen. there i choose the os that i want...
[05:26] <ringer> how can i make videos run smoother in either firefox or opera
[05:26] <mixter> Starnestommy can you explaint o me how to install compiz
[05:26] <astro76> ferfactor_: you only need one swap partition btw, it can be shared between different linux installs
[05:26] <No1CaNTeL> so then why would this be a windows issue if it started to happen after installing ubuntu?
[05:26] <Starnestommy> mixter: I don't remember how, sorry
[05:26] <hsystemx> ringer: better processor...
[05:26] <Starnestommy> No1CaNTeL: because Windows is the OS that's having the problem, not Ubuntu
[05:26] <Flannel> No1CaNTeL: Because you're installing windows, and the fact that you have Ubuntu on your drive doesn't come into play at all.
[05:27] <ferfactor_> astro how i swap...
[05:27] <ferfactor_> right click??
[05:27] <swansk> I have a small issue.  HELP!  I can type KOREAN in open office but it prints squares on my HP Deskjet 5740
[05:27] <ringer> mixter: open your synaptics package manager and search for compiz manager
[05:27] <No1CaNTeL> could something like this happen if my partitions are not setup correctly?
[05:27] <ringer> hsystemx: lol thats it? there are no tricks?
[05:27] <Flannel> No1CaNTeL: no, the CD is independant of anything on the harddrive
[05:27] <Flannel> swansk: You may have more luck in #ubuntu-ko
[05:27] <hsystemx> ringer, dont take that serious.. *joke,.
[05:28] <swansk> thanks Flannel
[05:28] <hsystemx> try to slow graphic effects.
[05:28] <Starnestommy> ferfactor_: you would need to add an entry for each OS in /boot/grub/menu.lst, then select the OS at the boot prompt after pressing ESC
[05:28] <hsystemx> blur... etc...
[05:28] <swansk> I never had this problem with Ubuntu before
[05:28] <swansk> Recent thing
[05:28] <swansk> Recent as in 8.04
[05:28] <ringer> hsystemx: well im sure it wouldnt hurt anything (but my wallet) to get a better one, but it just seems that videos run choppy in both firefox and opera
[05:28] <Flannel> !away > wishie[out]
[05:29] <ferfactor_> Starnestommy: i want Ubuntu the only one, i want format the other O.S
[05:29] <No1CaNTeL> kk, I will check in at ##windows then, ty, but it just seems odd that this starts to happen only after installing ubuntu though. :P
[05:29] <hsystemx> ringer, do you have graphic effects enable?
[05:29] <ringer> hsystemx: in compiz you mean? then yes.
[05:30] <hsystemx> ringer, turn off desktop effects, or compiz ... or do metacity --replace ...
[05:30] <hsystemx> and then try to see those videos...
[05:30] <montpelie> how about 3d rendering ringer, would that have something to do with the video playback issue????
[05:30] <keithclark> astro76: I worked just fine, thank you.
[05:30] <ringer> hsystemx: i dont do any 3d rendering, and is there a quick way to just turn off compiz while im watching videos, and switch it back on when im done?
[05:31] <keithclark> astro76: in PCLinuxOS it did not work at all.
[05:31] <montpelie> ringer     "metacity --replace"
[05:31] <jc___> nevermind I found the problem
[05:31] <hsystemx> um , metacity --replace and then compiz --replace  ?
[05:31] <ringer> hsystemx: also, i would like to keep my emerald theme, so i really dont want to do metacity replace lol...im being way to picky
[05:31] <ringer> hsystemx: in the command in window decorations?
[05:32] <crdlb> ringer: emerald is a decorator for compiz
[05:32] <hsystemx> ringer, in terminal
[05:32] <provolik> #!/bin/sh does not work for me... :-(
[05:32] <crdlb> so if you turn off compiz, it goes away
[05:32] <ringer> hsystemx what does metacity replace do?
[05:32] <Mr> Hello?
[05:32] <eXOR> hi all
[05:32] <hsystemx> ringer, try it...
[05:32] <Mr> I need some help with my wifi. Can anyone help?
[05:32] <ringer> hsystemx im scared.
[05:32] <montpelie> takes you back to your non-fancy desktop ringer
[05:32] <astro76> provolik: explain
[05:33] <hsystemx> then to turn on compiz, do compiz --replace
[05:33] <hsystemx> and if you want emerald on, then do emerald --replace
[05:33] <ringer> hsystemx okay, how do i get back to my fancy one after that?
[05:33] <Mr> hello?
[05:33] <hjc> hello
[05:33] <Flannel> !hi | Mr
[05:33] <montpelie> default window manger will be activated by doing so
[05:33] <Mr> ok.
[05:33] <Mr> Can someone help me with my wifi?
[05:33] <montpelie> compiz --replace && emerald --replace
[05:33] <montpelie> ringer
[05:33] <eXOR> did anybody met such a thing. I have SATA drive and while I try to copy big file from one partition to another I get only 5Megs/Sec speed. hdparams shows speeds are ok.
[05:33] <Mr> I formatted my PC that had Vista Ultimate.
[05:33] <provolik> astro76, I am trying to insert some bash script with a simple commad echo but nothing happens
[05:33] <Mr> And installed 8.04
[05:34] <Mr> Hardy Heron.
[05:34] <Flannel> !enter | Mr
[05:34] <MeRodent> !enter
[05:34] <hsystemx> ringer, montpelie ... is right, in that order.
[05:34] <crdlb> montpelie: && means that the second part will not execute until compiz exits
[05:34] <crdlb> so that will not work
[05:34] <hsystemx> compiz --replace and then emerald --replace.
[05:34] <astro76> provolik: did you chmod +x the script?
[05:34] <hjc> im tired
[05:34] <eXOR> anybody knows smth about that SATA stuff? or maybe knows where to read smth?
[05:34] <Mr> Ok. Well I have a RealTek Wifi Card and Ubuntu doesnt recognize it. Can anyone help? im typing this within Pidgin on a wired connection.
[05:34] <hjc> peace
[05:34] <crdlb> and emerald will still be running in the background, so there's no need to start it again
[05:34] <provolik> astro76, I watch...
[05:35] <montpelie> kk, got it, and what if I try by using just one & symbol, what would happen crdlb (I know bash basics)
[05:36] <swansk> I just installed "sharing" and I am "allowed" to share in my Permissions, why does it through an error when I try to share a file saying I don't have permission to do what I have permission to do?
[05:36] <astro76> provolik: sorry I don't understand any of your English :(
[05:36] <provolik> astro76, because I am italian and english is not my friend :)
[05:36] <hsystemx> if you just want to kill compiz and all those process, do:   ps -ef|grep YOURUSER   ... then do: KILL PIDNUMBER
[05:37] <crdlb> montpelie: they'd both run that way, although as I said, it's not necessary
[05:37] <provolik> astro76, however sh links dash that is 755
[05:37] <crdlb> why would you killl compiz?
[05:37] <montpelie> gotcha, thanx crdlb
[05:37] <crdlb> kill*
[05:37] <james296> can anyone tell me how to get nexuiz 2.4.2?
[05:37] <Arrick> who is able to add factoids to the bot?:
[05:37] <hsystemx> to stop consuming ram?
[05:37] <astro76> provolik: yes if that is a problem for you, you can change it to link to bash
[05:37] <james296> I dont mean the source file
[05:37] <hsystemx> ... omg.
[05:37] <provolik> ok
[05:37] <james296> I mean how to get it installed like version 2.4
[05:37] <crdlb> hsystemx: having no window manager isn't fun
[05:38] <hsystemx> well ... metacity --replace...
[05:38] <crdlb> exactly, there's never a reason to use kill for that
[05:38] <ringer> hsystemx: i get an error now when resuming compiz.  "GConf backend: There is an unsupported value at path /apps/compiz/plugins/scale/allscreens/options/initiate_edge. Settings from this path won't be read. Try to remove that value so that operation can continue properly."
[05:38] <Souler> Hello... could anyone help me with my graphics drivers........... I have installed them, but I need to restart the X server every time to make it work, or it doesnt work sometimes at all..... Why???????
[05:38] <crdlb> ringer: that's not a big deal. it doesn't break anything
[05:38] <trippss> so i've tried several things I've read up on to get my synaptics touchpad on my gateway laptop to work after waking up from suspend to no avail. any more ideas?
[05:39] <Mr> anyone?
[05:39] <astro76> !wifi | Mr
[05:39] <eXOR> Mr, this looks like private party :(
[05:40] <Souler> well?
[05:40] <ringer> hsystemx: well the video was the same when i had compiz off
[05:40] <swansk> How do I set up sharing folders?
[05:40] <ringer> crdlb thanks!
[05:40] <swansk> wiki?   When I installed it first time it went all ok, but when i restarted my laptop, its didnt work.
[05:42] <bullgard4> How can I find out what video driver my computer is using? (After upgrading, it is no longer 'vesa'.)
[05:42] <ringer> hsystemx i lost them again. they come back for a second then disappear again
[05:42] <Souler> I have Windows vista and linux dualbooted
[05:42] <rayne_> Souler: what version of ubuntu are you running?
[05:42] <montpelie> souler nvidia??.  which model
[05:42] <Souler> I got the newest one, downloaded few days ago.
[05:43] <hsystemx> ringer, press: control + alt + backspace...  or do a restart. ...
[05:43] <Souler> one of the 7th series
[05:43] <montpelie> the one that's got about 1 ddr2 ram on it???
[05:43] <rayne_> Souler: goto system, administration, hardware drivers
[05:43] <ringer> hsystemx okay be right back
[05:43] <montpelie> 1 gig souler
[05:43] <Souler> It says the driver isn't in use....
[05:43] <astro76> provolik: glad I could help ;)
[05:43] <Souler> but it is enabled
[05:44] <rayne_> Souler: so the check box is checked... but is says 'not in use'?
[05:44] <Souler> yes.
[05:44] <rayne_> souler: is that the card with 1 gig ram on it?
[05:45] <eisenhower> Question: when one right clicks on a file and underneath where it says Encrypt(in the context menu) there is a option that says sign. can someone tell me this does?
[05:45] <Souler> I got my drivers installed, but when I restart X server..... it doesn't work either now....  No its not with 1 gig.... only 128 MB
[05:45] <rayne_> souler: for me, I had to install 'nvidia-glx-new' to get it to work
[05:45] <Souler> i did
[05:45] <rayne_> kk
[05:45] <rayne_> souler: have you run update manger?
[05:45] <Souler> does it have to do with somethign that I mived the install file to another directorr?
[05:46] <Souler> directorry*
[05:46] <eisenhower> Question rephrase but shorter:  what does signing do?
[05:46] <ringer> okay, now how do i get to see my specs
[05:46] <Souler> I got no internet on my linux..... still trying to fix it xD
[05:46] <hsystemx> em...
[05:46] <rayne_> souler: the installation file itself? or the drivers?
[05:46] <astro76> !gnupg | eisenhower
[05:46] <geck1> hi, i'm trying to get my mx518 mouse to run right.  i've read through the tuts on ubuntuforums, and i got the evdev driver working, but the side buttons aren't working in firefox for forward/back.  any ideas?
[05:46] <Souler> the installation file
[05:46] <rayne_> Souler: that shouldnt be an issue
[05:46] <astro76> !gpg | eisenhower
[05:47] <hsystemx> ringer, dont you know how much ramd does your system have?
[05:47] <rayne_> Souler: that might be something that will fix if you can update everything with an internet connection
[05:47] <hsystemx> and what processor?
[05:47] <eisenhower> astro76,  thanks* looks and reads*
[05:47] <hsystemx> ram*
[05:47] <rayne_> Souler: can you get a hard line to the computer? (assuming its wireless you are trying)
[05:47] <ringer> well im pretty sure i have a 1gb with a 256
[05:47] <geck1> this is my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/13593/
[05:47] <Souler> not wireless..... i use modem >_>
[05:47] <geck1> if that helps
[05:48] <ringer> hsystemx i think a 1gb with a 256.  and a celeron m 420
[05:48] <rayne_> Souler: oh, I see.... hmmm... are the modem drivers not installed or just having problems getting a connection to the ISP?
[05:48] <michelcias> please.. I'm trying use the nvidia-settings and I'm having problem
[05:48] <Souler> I got no drivers for linux..... The support website does not have them.
[05:48] <michelcias> can anybody help me??
[05:49] <rayne_> Souler: the modem doest work just from the install?
[05:49] <astro76> eisenhower: start with the classroom transcript, looks like an excellent introduction/guide
[05:49] <eisenhower> astro76,  yup thats whati'm doing. =)
[05:49] <Souler> no..... I also need to use some wierd freaky .exe application to run it. >_>
[05:49] <geck1> i'm trying to get my mx518 mouse to run right.  i've read through the tuts on ubuntuforums, and i got the evdev driver working, but the side buttons aren't working in firefox for forward/back.  any ideas? my xorg.conf http://paste.ubuntu.com/13593/
[05:49] <ringer> hsystemx celeron m430 sorry, 1.73GHz and 1.2GB of RAM
[05:50] <rayne_> Souler: .exe?
[05:50] <bullgard4> How can I find out what video driver my computer is using? (After upgrading, it is no longer 'vesa'.)
[05:50] <Souler> ya..... I am using it on windows.
[05:50] <Souler> right now.
[05:50] <rayne_> Souler: what about in linux?
[05:50] <rayne_> Souler: is it detected in linux?
[05:50] <Souler> nope
[05:50] <Souler> thats the problem.
[05:51] <rayne_> Souler: unidentifiable? or non-existent?
[05:51] <astro76> !mouse | geck1
[05:51] <astro76> geck1: in the first link, use example 2, plus the imwheelrc section
[05:51] <Souler> I didnt get anyy of those.... it just doesnt find it.
[05:51] <geck1> astro76 thanks
[05:52] <rayne_> Souler: Have you tried searching the Ubuntu Forums?
[05:52] <rayne_> Souler: http://ubuntuforums.org
[05:52] <astro76> geck1: actually the before you proceed section, plus example 2, the imwheelrc section you can also add to switch tabs
[05:52] <Souler> yes I did, no uck finding anything. I live in norway, and the modem have just come out. Not many people use it.... >_>
[05:52] <rayne_> Souler: if you search for your modem, you will probably find someone that has had the same issue... hopefully resolved
[05:52] <Souler> luck*
[05:53] <rayne_> ahhh....
[05:53] <rayne_> Souler: I don't know what I can do to help you from here, but getting the internet in Ubuntu is a must
[05:53] <Souler> oh and one more thing..... how come there is now "wireless" option to select in my network manager
[05:53] <eisenhower> wow this introduction transcript thing really is excellent!!! thanks astro!
[05:53] <geck1> roger astro76, thanks again
[05:53] <rayne_> Souler: do you have a wireless card?
[05:54] <Souler> yes...
[05:54] <Souler> Broadcom Wireless.
[05:54] <astro76> eisenhower: no prob, it does look good, I know gpg pretty well but am planning on reading that to see if I missed something ;)
[05:54] <rayne_> Souler: okay, Wireless is another one of those restricted drivers
[05:54] <Mr_Bad_News> is there a channel for blackbox window manager
[05:54] <Souler> any ide where I could download em?
[05:54] <rayne_> Souler: if you had internet... it would show up in the same place with the NVIDIA drivers and you could download the files you need for it to work
[05:55] <Ahadiel> Mr_Bad_News, #blackbox?
[05:55] <rayne_> Souler: You would have to search for the wireless card you have (exact one) and find a package to install for it
[05:55] <Mr_Bad_News> its pretty much empty Ahadiel
[05:55] <Souler> okay... thx for help.
[05:55] <Nick__> s'up
[05:56] <rayne_> Souler: A wee bit more complicated and time consuming, but it works. I had to do the same thing with mine to get wireless... to get the NVIDIA drivers... to get happy
[05:56] <rayne_> Souler: np, wish i could have helped more
[05:56] <Nick__> What's better: Adobe Flash Player, Swfdec player or Gnash SWF Player?
[05:56] <Souler> I see o.o
[05:56] <astro76> Nick__: only adobe is going to work with everything
[05:56] <Nick__> Ok
[05:56] <Nick__> Thanks :-)
[05:56] <pen> Nick__, course now it's adobe
[05:57] <Souler> thx, I'll try to fix it, if I have problems I come here. c ya now. And good luck. Thx for help rayne_
[05:57] <Nick__> I appreciate it :-)!
