[12:46] <pawan> how to install tar.gz
[12:46] <poing\moinch> Jossjee, thanks!
[12:46] <soundray> pawan: not at all, if it can be avoided.
[12:46] <user_> jonasj  no such thing as advanced desktop effects settings in add/remove
[12:46] <soundray> pawan: what are you trying to install?
[12:47] <IndyGunFreak> localh0st: well, youve done something wrong i can't figure out.. probably in your efforts to install the driver from the Nvidia's site.
[12:47] <pawan> firefox <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:47] <Jossjee> Does anyone know how to make a data partition in Ubuntu.
[12:47] <kane77> user_, I suggest compizconfig
[12:47] <v3ctor> user_: sudo aptitude install compizconfig-settings-manager
[12:47] <Jossjee> Some like d:\ in Windows?
[12:47] <IndyGunFreak> Jossjee: a data partition?
[12:47] <timewriter> do you have free space ?
[12:47] <Jossjee> Yes.
[12:47] <Jossjee> Enough
[12:48] <kane77> Jossjee, gpart
[12:48] <soundray> pawan: the current version is <IP_ADDRESS>. Do you have that?
[12:48] <khajx> can i change the login screen of ubuntu?
[12:48] <IndyGunFreak> localh0st: this is what it should look like...   http://i82.photobucket.com/albums/j263/IndyGunFreak/Screenshot.jpg
[12:48] <pawan> yes
[12:48] <timewriter> khajx yes u can
[12:48] <Jossjee> Intel Core2Duo, 2GB ramm, 1 TB HDD
[12:48] <pawan> but the new version is <IP_ADDRESS>
[12:48] <timewriter> get any gdm theme you like from gnome-look.org
[12:48] <timewriter> if you use gnome
[12:48] <khajx> is there a suggusted login screen? something nice?
[12:48] <stefg> Jossjee: do you already have a separate /home partition?
[12:48] <khajx> i use gnome
[12:48] <soundray> pawan: what's in <IP_ADDRESS> that makes you think you need it?
[12:48] <kane77> Jossjee, */gpart/gparted
[12:48] <timewriter> there are many beautiful gdm themes there
[12:49] <Jossjee> Yes, But if he's crach i lost everything
[12:49] <kane77> !gparted | Jossjee
[12:49] <ubotu> Jossjee: GParted is is a !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
[12:49] <khajx> timewriter: Thanks.
[12:49] <Jossjee> Okee Thanks All
[12:49] <timewriter> khajx then go to System > Administration > Login window
[12:49] <timewriter> and install the theme you downloaded
[12:49] <pawan> http://developer.mozilla.org/devnews/index.php/2007/10/22/firefox-2008-update-to-be-updated/
[12:50] <jonasj> Gunn: you still here? how did your install go?
[12:50] <user_> kane77  compizconfig not a command
[12:50] <khajx> timewriter: thanks :)
[12:50] <v3ctor> user_: you need to install it first
[12:50] <user_> i did
[12:50] <garu> hi everyone
[12:50] <kane77> user_, you have to install it first...
[12:50] <user_> i mean my windows have some effect
[12:50] <stefg> Jossjee: the idea of a 'data' partition is the same concept as having /home separate. If you have that already you're probably looking for a storage/backup partition, right?
[12:50] <jonasj> user_: then System -> Adminisrtation -> Advanced Desktop Effects Settings
[12:50] <user_> what i want is to modify them
[12:50] <v3ctor> user_: system > preferences > advanced desktop settings
[12:50] <bloony> why do I get: " Invalid operation build-essential" when I do: "root@ubuntu:/# apt-get build-essential ieee80211-source
[12:50] <Jossjee> http://www.walkingproud.nl/screen/MSN.png | That's My Screenshot
[12:51] <kane77> user_, did you install the compizconfig-settings-manager package?
[12:51] <jonasj> bloony:    apt-get install build-essential ieee80211-source
[12:51] <soundray> pawan: there are no urgent security fixes for Linux versions in that release. Stay with <IP_ADDRESS> until the new release becomes available through the repositories.
[12:51] <user_> i don't have that  advanced desktop effect settings
[12:51] <jonasj> bloony:  missed the "install"
[12:51] <user_> i did
[12:51] <v3ctor> user_: system > preferences > advanced desktop settings
[12:51] <pawan> ok
[12:51] <jonasj> argh, i said adminstration. meant preferences of course.
[12:51] <v3ctor> jonasj: happens to the est of us ;)
[12:52] <bloony> jonasj: ooh
[12:52] <v3ctor> best*
[12:52] <soundray> v3ctor: rest* :)
[12:52] <bloony> jonasj: hehe following some steps on a web set

[12:52] <bloony> site
[12:52] <v3ctor> soundray: i could use some of that
[12:52] <garu> I got a problem with my wireless, and it looks like someone resolved by using the kernel 2.6.22-13!I'm in 2.6.22-14, how do I go back to kernel version 2.6.22-13?can someone help me out on this one please?
[12:52] <Jossjee> Stefg, yes Something like that
[12:53] <IndyGunFreak> garu: lol, maybe easier said than done, have you considered NDISwrapper?
[12:53] <soundray> v3ctor: good idea. I'll take a break now
[12:53] <orgthingy> hi
[12:53] <orgthingy> i went to the downloads page of winehq and i got lost :P

[12:53] <IndyGunFreak> i like dull backgrounds.
[12:54] <Jossjee> I like 3d Art Wallpapers :p
[12:54] <garu> IndyGunFreak will it allow me to connect to a wpa encrypted network?because sometimes I have to take the lappy to Uni, and I need to be connected there as well.Is it going to give me any problems on that?
[12:54] <Stealth_> hi guys

[12:54] <ubotu> garu: Wireless documentation can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs

[13:00] <Gunn> hey guys when making my partition for ubuntu do I make it Beginning or end ?
[13:00] <Jossjee> okay
[13:00] <jonasj> hi again gunn
[13:00] <Jossjee> Sorry for that:p
[13:00] <Gunn> hello
[13:00] <jonasj> gunn: wherever you want it
[13:00] <IndyGunFreak> freakabcd: prolly cuz amsn sucks..lol
[13:00] <Gunn> so it does not matter ?
[13:01] <jonasj> Gunn: are you using manual partitioning again? the automatic didnt work?
[13:01] <freakabcd> IndyGunFreak, no it doesn't. its a good app
[13:01] <IndyGunFreak> Gunn:  not really, but i always put mine at the end.
[13:01] <Gunn> manual
[13:01] <IndyGunFreak> freakabcd: i think it sucks.
[13:01] <IndyGunFreak> Gunn: why are you doing manual, do guided like was suggested
[13:01] <freakabcd> well, if and when they move to gtk/qt it would be good
[13:01] <stefg> Gunn: the recommended scheme is having 128-256 MB /boot at the beginning, then 5-10 GB for the system (/) then swap (RAM*1,5), rest for /home
[13:01] <freakabcd> i have AA fonts, etc. in amsn so its all good
[13:01] <IndyGunFreak> freakabcd: glad it works for you.
[13:02] <Nino> salve
[13:02] <freakabcd> IndyGunFreak, what? i've had AA fonts for more than a year now
[13:02] <IndyGunFreak> freakabcd: i'm saying i'm glad amsn works for you...
[13:02] <freakabcd> you just need to compile tcl/tk yourself
[13:02] <freakabcd> IndyGunFreak, ah ok.
[13:02] <snake_> can anyone help me with a driver problem ? i have a hp pavilion dv6162ea but i cant get the webcam to work in gutsy.
[13:02] <IndyGunFreak> i have no desire to use amsn... NONE
[13:02] <IndyGunFreak> !webcam
[13:02] <ubotu> Instructions for using webcams with Ubuntu can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Webcam - Supported cams: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsMultimediaWebCameras
[13:03] <IndyGunFreak> snake_: some webcams are tricky
[13:03] <Jossjee> Does Any one know how big a Swap file Must be if you have 2Gb RAm,
[13:03] <Jossjee> I want a fast system :-)
[13:03] <axz> !ati
[13:03] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto
[13:03] <Zonk> I am trying to install tomcat5.5 using Synaptec Package Manager, but I keep getting: "tomcat5.5: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit"
[13:03] <jonasj> Gunn: don't listen to stefg, that scheme is way more complicated than necessary, you don't need a separate boot, root and home partition, you can just have one
[13:03] <tekteen> 3 GB sounds good
[13:03] <IndyGunFreak> Jossjee: 2-3gigs should be fine
[13:03] <chazco> hi... can anyone recommend a vector drawing app similar to Flash (windows)? Tried inkscape but it wont draw circles... :D
[13:03] <Zonk> Any ideas?
[13:03] <snake_> IndyGunFreak: what do you mean with tricky ??
[13:04] <IndyGunFreak> tricky, difficult, hard
[13:04] <axz> Guys i have ubuntu 7.04 whats best way to upgrade to 7.10?
[13:04] <Jossjee> I have now 1.5 Gigs, but it's slow :p
[13:04] <snake_> IndyGunFreak: thanks
[13:04] <IndyGunFreak> axz: do you have high speed?
[13:04] <axz> yes
[13:04] <IndyGunFreak> Jossjee: thats not cuz of swap..
[13:04] <jonasj> axz: System -> Administration -> Update Manager
[13:04] <Jossjee> Yes, I Run 7.10 now
[13:04] <IndyGunFreak> !upgrade | axz
[13:04] <ubotu> axz: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes
[13:04] <chazco> axz: If at all possible (backups)  i'd recommend wipe the lot and clean install
[13:04] <chazco> Just seems to work better when i did it
[13:05] <Jossjee> Who's has a release of Hardy 8.04?
[13:05] <IndyGunFreak> axz: definitely have a backup, in case something goes wrong, but i'd also recommend a clean install... thats how i do it,
[13:05] <stefg> jonasj : sure you can... but it makes sense to not give the autopartitioner a chance to guide you into grub error 17, and having home seperate is just best practice.Why not get it right from the beginning?
[13:05] <axz> chazco, i did that i get a wierd error abouyt something cleaning the cd/dvd or burning to fast
[13:05] <axz> no way to upgrade it online?
[13:05] <IndyGunFreak> Jossjee: i don't think the beta's for hardy are public yet.. but i could be wrong
[13:05] <chazco> hmm... odd... try via the upgrade manager
[13:05] <jonasj> stefg: who says a separate home is best practice?
[13:05] <Jossjee> Yes it's Plublic beta
[13:05] <IndyGunFreak> axz: read the link posted by ubotu above about upgrading
[13:05] <axz> oke IndyGunFreak
[13:06] <chazco> I have a seperate home partition, its useful if you need it, wouldnt say essential though
[13:06] <stefg> jonasj: who says it's not ?
[13:06] <axz> oke one more thuing guys
[13:06] <axz> i just switched from OpenSuse to ubuntu
[13:06] <IndyGunFreak> Jossjee: ok, i was thinking it wasn't public yet.\
[13:06] <axz> because of ATI drivers problems with 54bit structure
[13:06] <axz> 64%
[13:06] <chazco> hi... can anyone recommend a vector drawing app similar to Flash (windows)? Tried inkscape but it wont draw circles... :D
[13:06] <jonasj> stefg: i do :-)  it means you'll have to decide how much space to allot to root and how much to home. and what if you then run out of space on one?
[13:06] <axz> ubuntu has same problem with the drivers?
[13:07] <jonasj> stefg: and besides, the default in the installer is not to use a separate home...
[13:07] <Jossjee> I had problems with my Ati radeon HD 2600 Pro, So I changed to Nvidia
[13:08] <stefg> jonasj: the default partitioner is stupid, and has often been criticized for doing an oversimple setup, that can lead to problems with certain hardware
[13:08] <timewriter> its not ubuntu the one with problems
[13:08] <timewriter> its aATI
[13:08] <timewriter> ATI even
[13:08] <fidi_> halo
[13:08] <Jossjee> Ati is most all a difficult driver to install
[13:09] <jonasj> stefg: you're not really trying to get me to believe that not having a separate /home partition leads to problems with certain hardware, are you?
[13:09] <timewriter> :)
[13:09] <timewriter> its easy to install
[13:09] <Jossjee> I will wait when i recieve a driver update :p
[13:10] <Jossjee> I run Ubuntu now for 3 weeks.
[13:10] <IndyGunFreak> jonasj: i'm not sure telling a newb to do all that partitioning is worthwhile... let them make a swap and a / to get throught he process, then if they can set it up.. thats ju my opinion and why i never tell folks to do it.
[13:10] <Crazy|One> hello everybody,  I installed Flight Sim onto Ubuntu using wine and the installation went great.  but when I try to start it,it tells me ddraw.c cannot be found
[13:10] <jonasj> IndyGunFreak: that's exactly what i'm saying!
[13:10] <timewriter> you can google for it
[13:10] <Crazy|One> any ideas what I can do to correct this?
[13:10] <stefg> jonasj: in this case having /boot not within the first 1024 cylinders or trying to setup a LVM iis the problem. Having /home separate just makes upgrades/reinstalls and a good backup regime far easier
[13:10] <IndyGunFreak> jonasj: oh ok..lol, so we are in agreement
[13:11] <timewriter> Crazy|One , you can correct it by not using emulators again
[13:11] <jonasj> IndyGunFreak:  yeah, we are :)
[13:11] <Crazy|One> timewriter what other ways could i run the game then?
[13:11] <IndyGunFreak> jonasj:  :)
[13:11] <timewriter> you can try cedega
[13:11] <timewriter> but thats a emulator also
[13:11] <timewriter> well , sometimes we push too hard on linux
[13:12] <stefg> IndyGunFreak: but newbs are more likely to screw up... so if they need a reinstall, they loose their settings
[13:12] <IndyGunFreak> i've been using ubuntu for about 2-2.5yrs, and i've never even had a separate /home partition.  I just back up all my stuff, and do a completely clean install.
[13:12] <chazco> Btw... since install 7.10 one of my uni's intranet pages has stopped loading... any ideas? Its just the one page, and it works on my other PC (same LAN, same Firefox, but Vista)
[13:12] <axz> IndyGunFreak, whats changelog of ubuntu 7.10?
[13:12] <IndyGunFreak> !changelog
[13:12] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about changelog - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[13:12] <IndyGunFreak> never heard changelog.
[13:12] <axz> thing that have bin changed from 7.04 to 7.10
[13:12] <IndyGunFreak> stefg: i see the point... but if they hose up while partitioning, they're likely gonna bonk their windwos partition.. thus why i dont' recommend it.
[13:13] <IndyGunFreak> axz: i really don't know.
[13:13] <_Lucretia_> I've downloaded the following .mov file: http://zacker.org/screencast-drupal-mashup-machine but it displays scewed in mplayer and crashes totem, anyone know how I can get it to display properly. Yes, I do have all the necessary codecs, etc. installed
[13:13] <f00bar80> i'm installing ubuntu 7 , how to install it as graphical
[13:13] <stefg> IndyGunFreak: gParted will take care of the 'mess up NTFS'-part anyway... :-)
[13:13] <imabit> hi, anyone know how to install M$ office 2003 on crossover with ubuntu gutsy?
[13:13] <jonasj> axz: you want a full changelog, or just like in the release notes?
[13:13] <Jossjee> NO MS Office.
[13:14] <Jossjee> Try Openoffice
[13:14] <axz> well wana know about ATI drivers change actully is it fixed in ubuntu
[13:14] <imabit> i hate m$ office
[13:14] <imabit> but i have to do it
[13:14] <f00bar80> everytime i select install to hard disk i got the command line after installation , any comment
[13:14] <chazco> I could use a changelog between 7.04 and 7.10 on network relation changes
[13:14] <IndyGunFreak> stefg: which is a problem in itself, i cant' get gparted to load on my desktop..lol, it loads fine on my laptop.. not sure what the issue is.. but i've got a live CD of it.
[13:14] <pawan> can we have dreamscene effect in ubuntu
[13:14] <jonasj> axz: the proprietary ati drivers in 7.10 dont support compiz - if thats what you mean
[13:14] <pawan> or any animated background
[13:14] <jonasj> axz: you can install the newer ones manually though... but the free edivers are pretty good for many cards
[13:14] <f00bar80> ppl ant comment ?
[13:15] <f00bar80> any*
[13:15] <jonasj> (drives
[13:15] <jonasj> *drivers
[13:15] <imabit> no ideas about that?
[13:15] <gordonjcp> imabit: about what?
[13:15] <axz> jonasj, no, sotry is like this: i was on OpenSuse for about 1 year now... and i installed new drivers of ati on my 64bit sys
[13:15] <imabit> about install m$ office on crossover on ubuntu gutsy
[13:15] <axz> after install it same black screen there was issue in the drivers
[13:15] <ScottS2b5> I hate to ask this one... How do you move the taskbar from the right of the screen to the top??
[13:16] <martin__> hey, every so often audio players seem to seg fault and close on my laptop, it seems to happen randomly and happened on feisty and now gutsy, does anybody have any ideas about how to fix this?
[13:16] <imabit> with feisty you can , but with gutsy it has several problems for me
[13:16] <axz> so my question is .. is it fixed on ubuntu distro
[13:16] <superpigs> how do i change from gnome into another gui without messing everything up_
[13:16] <IndyGunFreak> imabit: ?  crossover works fine on gutsy
[13:16] <superpigs> ?
[13:16] <pawan> how to play 3d chess
[13:16] <f00bar80> how to run ubuntu in graphical mode ?
[13:16] <stefg> imabit: crossover is payware, so you should contact their support. This is offtopic in #ubuntu
[13:16] <arnath> hi, how do i add a custom command to console again? (where to place it?)
[13:16] <imabit> when i install, it says the directory ~/home/.cxoffice is not believe me
[13:17] <imabit> sorry
[13:17] <CochiseIRL> superpigs, what gui do u want to run?
[13:17] <imabit> i'm in the bad section
[13:17] <f00bar80> i installed it using install to hard disk , then i got the command line , when i tried startx i got no support for xinetd
[13:17] <hildegard> will vmware-server and vmware-player be available in gutsy? and if so, when?
[13:17] <chazco> Anyone able to explain why a webpage wont work after upgrading the 7.10? It just sits there and loads very, very slowly. Works on 7.04 and Vista.
[13:17] <Jossjee> Foobar, Startx
[13:17] <IndyGunFreak> !vmware | hildegard

[13:18] <Alyxander> chazco disable IPv6 in fireforx type about:config
[13:18] <chazco> Tried that, didnt work
[13:18] <stefg> IndyGunFreak: hildegard no longer true for gutsy. the version in the repos is outdated and has a severe security flaw
[13:19] <chazco> Thanks anyway though
[13:19] <Alyxander> disable it in the whole system
[13:19] <adac2> what is icedtea? firefox says there is missing a java plugin, an the only one that considers and installs is icedtea plugin with all its dependencies. Unfortunately, the apllet will also not work after the installation. :(
[13:19] <f00bar80> Jossjee: i tried it and got no support for xinetd , and sudo apt-get install xinet, when i tried it i got no candidate for this package
[13:19] <chazco> How do i do it system wide?
[13:19] <Alyxander> hang on
[13:19] <demon012> chazco anything special on that page? flash, java? do other sites work properly?
[13:19] <chazco> I tried doing somehting like that with ifconfig, but it didnt work
[13:19] <chazco> demon012 - yep, all other sites work fine. It appears to be plain HTML + soem CSS
[13:20] <Jossjee> You can Reinstall you're Graphic Mode from the Live Cd
[13:20] <Alyxander> chazco http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=6841
[13:20] <Jossjee> STEFG?????:p
[13:20] <ScottS2b5> anyone have a good link for taskbar customization??
[13:20] <f00bar80> Jossjee: ..?
[13:20] <demon012> mm not sure about your problem then chazco i could only guess =/
[13:21] <chazco> Guess away :) Tried everything else
[13:21] <Jossjee> Iam not running xinet, so i can not help you Thinking Srr.
[13:21] <demon012> have you tried saving the page to disk on your vista computer and copying it to your ubuntu box and running it from disk?
[13:21] <_Lucretia_> ok, it's a quicktime file and it plays back in mplayer skewed, how can I fix it?
[13:21] <demon012> that would rule out network problems
[13:21] <stefg> Jossjee: have you managed to run 'sudo fdisk -l' in a terminal and pasted the output to the pastebin,? Look up the link you get and paste it here
[13:21] <f00bar80> so how to run ubuntu in graphical mode ?
[13:21] <f00bar80> after installation
[13:22] <Jossjee> I keep it to Fat32,
[13:22] <arun> is there any way to run migration-assistant after installing ubuntu
[13:22] <chazco> A saved copy opens correctly demon012
[13:22] <jonasj> f00bar80: what did you install?
[13:22] <Jossjee> Thanks Stefg/
[13:22] <IndyGunFreak> lol
[13:22] <f00bar80> jonasj: ubuntu 7
[13:22] <jonasj> f00bar80: using the alternate cd or what?
[13:22] <IndyGunFreak> well that helps.
[13:22] <snake_> can anyone tell me a driver for sonix/microdia hp laptop webcam because i didnt found one
[13:22] <IndyGunFreak> there's 7.04, 7.10
[13:22] <demon012> mmm suggests some thing network related then...
[13:22] <jonasj> f00bar80: or server cd?
[13:22] <Hoxzer> :O
[13:23] <demon012> no kind of redirection script used on the page?
[13:23] <Jossjee> Can anyone tell what i more can do with the command "Gnome" | Example Gnome-screenshot
[13:23] <Hoxzer> Why does update-manager require ubuntu-desktop to be installed when upgrading from previous release ?
[13:23] <chazco> Nothing obvious... and it works on 7.04 + Vista. However, on 7.10 it doesnt (Firefox / Opera even dillo all fail in the same way)
[13:23] <hildegard> IndyGunFreak: there is no vmware-player nor vmware-server in gutsy multiverse. And the links ubotu gave me do not refer to gutsy either.
[13:23] <IndyGunFreak> Hoxzer: its a metapackage, don't worry about it, its not actually installing it.
[13:23] <f00bar80> jonasj: server edition
[13:23] <pawan> hello
[13:23] <IPGHOST> i have instlled 7.10 on my laptop ,i wann to connet the wireless to awindows XP Ad-hoc network
[13:23] <IPGHOST> any helps
[13:24] <jonasj> f00bar80: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[13:24] <demon012> so it is not limited to firefox on the machine? it happens in every browser?
[13:24] <Hoxzer> IndyGunFreak: :\ Yeah, but I checked it depencies and they were about 100 MB :P
[13:24] <chazco> demon012 - yes
[13:24] <jonasj> f00bar80: that will install the entire graphic environment as if you Installed from the desktop cd
[13:24] <hildegard> CochiseIRL: where is this script? I am having trouble with the modules after each restart!
[13:24] <Hoxzer> IndyGunFreak: Is it really required ?
[13:24] <Jossjee> IPGHOSt, do you have a Ip Adres for Samba?
[13:24] <chazco> (every browser)
[13:24] <f00bar80> jonasj: after installation
[13:24] <IndyGunFreak> yes
[13:24] <stefg> Hoxzer: to have all transitional packages sorted out. But think twice before you upgrade, and have a backup of you current install. YOu might be disappointed
[13:24] <demon012> kk can move out of the browser area then and onto networking stuff
[13:24] <livingdayligh> is UBUNTU in bed with Linspire still?
[13:24] <Moldador> I made update to my ubuntu 6.06 for the first time yesterday and now I can't use ubuntu anymore, cause text get bugged, what can i do?
[13:24] <CochiseIRL> hildegard, uninstall your vmware while i dig out the script
[13:24] <jonasj> f00bar80: yes, type  sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop
[13:24] <IPGHOST> Jossjee, for what ?
[13:25] <jonasj> livingdayligh: what do you mean "in bbed with"?
[13:25] <chazco> demon012 - yep, thought as much... but theres even more to go through there :D
[13:25] <Hoxzer> stefg: :\ already upgraded by modifying source.list from fiesty to gutsy
[13:25] <kane77> is there some good blogging software for ubuntu? (not the firefox plugin)
[13:25] <Hoxzer> stefg: dont see any problems
[13:25] <Hoxzer> stefg: that's why I'm wondering
[13:25] <arun> is there any way to run migration-assistant after installing ubuntu  ?
[13:25] <demon012> chazco hae you had a go at: sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start
[13:25] <erUSUL> kane77: drivel
[13:25] <Jossjee> IPGHOST, You need a Ip Adress for connecting Windows
[13:25] <chazco> tried static IP, udhcp, "roaming" mode (its all wired LAN)
[13:25] <imabit_> hi, anyone has installed crossover on ubuntu gutsy gibbon ?
[13:25] <chazco> Can try it
[13:25] <livingdayligh> jonasj: is linspire still you know... to ubuntu
[13:25] <livingdayligh> jonasj: in partnership?
[13:25] <Jossjee> Or Give your System a Ip Adress:p
[13:25] <demon012> will rule out a dodgy cached dns address
[13:25] <stefg> Hoxzer: that's an officially unsupported procedure, but if it worked... nice
[13:25] <IndyGunFreak> jonasj: for a while there, Ubuntu was saying they were gonna include CNR(which is linspires) with Ubuntu.
[13:25] <jonasj> livingdayligh: well, they base their distro on ubuntu
[13:26] <IndyGunFreak> that would be a horrible thing in my opinion, CNR is awful
[13:26] <f00bar80> jonasj: the server edition doesn't have graphical env.
[13:26] <chazco> demon012 - does it on the 7.10 livecd with a clean boot though also
[13:26] <ebel> I'm customising the install cd to include extra packages, but it won't all fit on one CD. How can I split it into 2 CDs and have a 'insert disc 2' step in the installer?
[13:26] <jonasj> IndyGunFreak: they didn't really say they would include it....
[13:26] <livingdayligh> IndyGunFreak: but is ubuntu still in cahoots with linspire?
[13:26] <IndyGunFreak> jonasj: well, that was my understanding.
[13:26] <demon012> mmm ok that is weird then
[13:26] <jonasj> f00bar80:  you can install the graphical environment by typing sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop!!
[13:26] <demon012> that rules out the os installation
[13:26] <kane77> erUSUL, thanx, I found blogtk, but that is very simple..
[13:26] <jaym> is there a fix available for the slow throughput on the broadcom wireless cards with gutsy?
[13:26] <nun63> ciao
[13:26] <IndyGunFreak> livingdayligh: i don't know.. the day ubuntu is as slow as linspire, i'll switch my PC's over to Debian
[13:27] <Jossjee> I have Ubuntu 7.10 connected to a Windows 2003 Server, Without a Ip doesnt works :-(
[13:27] <chazco> Tell me about it, if it keeps up i may be forced back onto 7.04/Windows :(
[13:27] <stefg> jaym: disable ipv6 or go back to feisty
[13:27] <demon012> urk anything but windows =S
[13:27] <f00bar80> jonasj: but the server edition doesn't have neithr install graphical env by default ?
[13:27] <chazco> To be fair, its free from Uni, but agreed :D
[13:27] <jonasj> f00bar80: no, that's the whole point of the server edition
[13:27] <stefg> !ipv6 | jaym
[13:27] <jaym> stefg: how do i disable it?
[13:27] <Jossjee> yes, Windows sucks, I go in a few weeks to Ubuntu Server Edition :-p
[13:27] <ubotu> jaym: To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[13:27] <jaym> thanks
[13:27] <imabit_> nobody can insstall M$ office 2003 on ubuntu gutsy?
[13:27] <CochiseIRL> hildegard, email addy?
[13:27] <f00bar80> jonasj: what do u mean by the whole point
[13:27] <demon012> meh not customisable... you are forced to use explorer or evil programs that consume too much ram (stardock etc)
[13:28] <IndyGunFreak> gonna go work out, later all.
[13:28] <jonasj> f00bar80: the point of using the server edition instead of desktop edition is when you don't want a graphical environment
[13:28] <demon012> cya indy
[13:28] <chazco> heh... well, regardless I really need this to work :(
[13:28] <chazco> I'll try the livecd on another PC... see if it works there
[13:28] <demon012> heh ye
[13:28] <demon012> kk
[13:28] <jonasj> f00bar80: the only difference between server and desktop is the default installed set of packages...
[13:28] <demon012> that was the thing i was going to move onto next
[13:29] <f00bar80> jonasj: which are
[13:29] <hildegard> CochiseIRL: found it? where can I get it from?
[13:29] <demon012> if not the operating system has to be the hardware or something external to the system
[13:29] <CochiseIRL> hildegard, are you joined ubuntu forums?
[13:29] <chazco> Not sure... it definatly worked in 7.04
[13:29] <f00bar80> jonasj: can i use this server edition to install a vitual box
[13:30] <demon012> mmm
[13:30] <f00bar80> jonasj: virtual*
[13:30] <demon012> try using a different dns server e.g: <IP_ADDRESS> <IP_ADDRESS>
[13:30] <jonasj> f00bar80: the server install doesnt include the graphical environment, and uses a differently optimized kernel by default. that's the only differences.
[13:30] <demon012> they are the open dns servers
[13:30] <chazco> Tried using opendns
[13:30] <chazco> Ah
[13:30] <CochiseIRL> hildegard, u get that? just make it execuable: chmod +x vmware.sh and run it
[13:30] <demon012> lol
[13:30] <hildegard> CochiseIRL: no
[13:30] <chazco> Didnt work then
[13:30] <stefg> f00bar80: you still need an Xserver if you want to see anything
[13:30] <hildegard> CochiseIRL: got it
[13:30] <demon012> (i am scared of myself knowing those ips off by heart)
[13:30] <hildegard> CochiseIRL: tnx
[13:30] <demon012> lol
[13:30] <dead_orc> Am I the only one unable to login to the wiki?
[13:31] <f00bar80> jonasj: so i can't use something that does virtual enviroment ?
[13:31] <CochiseIRL> hildegard, do you know how to make it executable and run it?
[13:31] <chazco> LiveCD is so slow too start :D
[13:31] <Jossjee> Iam gone .
[13:31] <stefg> chazco: 256 MB box?
[13:31] <Jossjee> bye, bye
[13:31] <demon012> mmm yikes this is a good question chazco lol
[13:31] <chazco> 1GB :D
[13:32] <chazco> Its quicker on my 256/512 (not sure which :D ) desktop oddly
[13:32] <Alyxander> chazco your running live?
[13:32] <demon012> chazco what page are you trying to load btw is it accessible to people not at the uni?
[13:32] <demon012> if so can i get a link
[13:32] <chazco> Trying the livecd now to see if it works
[13:32] <hildegard> CochiseIRL: yes, thank you. One question remains: Does this only work for player or for server and workstation as well?
[13:32] <chazco> It is only accessible when logged in i'm afraid
[13:32] <chazco> My timetable
[13:32] <demon012> bugger
[13:32] <CochiseIRL> hildegard, just vmware server
[13:32] <CochiseIRL> hildegard, you could also try virtualbox
[13:32] <stefg> chazco: it takes some time to figure out the hardware, but once it's done it'll run better. you can use 'ubiquity-only' if you just want the installer, not the full desktop environment
[13:32] <_Lucretia_> ok, it's a quicktime file and it plays back in mplayer skewed, how can I fix/play it?
[13:33] <jaym> !thanks!
[13:33] <ubotu> You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-)
[13:33] <jonasj> f00bar80: i don't know much about virtual environments, but if you want a graphical env, just install it, otherwise dont, whats the problem?
[13:33] <chazco> Its not a big issue, its only a one off. Thanks anyway :)
[13:33] <stefg> !botsnack
[13:33] <ubotu> Yum! Err, I mean, APT!
[13:33] <livingdayligh> anyone know if the partnership between canonical and linspire is still alive?
[13:33] <chazco> I dont normally run from the live CD
[13:33] <livingdayligh> http://wiki.freespire.org/index.php/Linspire_Canonical_Partnership_FAQ
[13:33] <murlidhar> my listen media player just plays one song and hangs
[13:33] <demon012> yikes you now have me out of ideas chazco lol
[13:33] <murlidhar> :(
[13:33] <demon012> you have ruled out pretty much everything i can think of lol
[13:34] <jonasj> livingdayligh: "We won’t make CNR a default platform in Ubuntu" said mark shuttleworth
[13:34] <chazco> demon012 - how do you think i feel :D Had longer to do this... everything i try fails
[13:34] <jonasj> livingdayligh:  in http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/127
[13:34] <demon012> i can imagine i know what you feel like
[13:34] <kst-> .
[13:34] <murlidhar> my listen media player just plays one song and hangs
[13:34] <murlidhar> :(
[13:34] <chazco> Its a pity because otherwise 7.10 rocks :D Nvidia support is awesome and so on
[13:34] <stefg> murlidhar: that's real sad
[13:34] <kst-> hey guys any idea how I get my theme to look like this? http://gimmix.berlios.de/screenshots.php
[13:35] <murlidhar> stefg: any ideas to solve my prpblem
[13:35] <demon012> tell me about it chazco the only problems i have with gutsy i believe are due to me being impatient and installing it before it was released (usplash doesnt work and a few other little problems which aren't important)
[13:35] <chazco> ok... live cd nearly booted :)
[13:35] <chazco> heh :)
[13:35] <H3Av3N2233> hy therem someone please help me install flash player :(
[13:35] <dotjay> i have a problem regarding totem http://img253.imageshack.us/my.php?image=screenshotmf8.png
[13:36] <demon012> hey H3Av3n
[13:36] <chazco> I think the restricted-extras package has flash
[13:36] <stefg> murlidhar: listen hasn't been updated for a while, and i assume it doesn't like python 2.5, or the tickless kernel. use a maintained player like exaile or amarok
[13:36] <demon012> which version of ubuntu are you using?
[13:36] <jonasj> livingdayligh: that freespire page seems to be exagerating (sp?)
[13:36] <demon012> it does indeed chazco
[13:36] <demon012> !flash
[13:36] <ubotu> To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[13:36] <demon012> there we go
[13:37] <murlidhar> stefg: exaile can't be compared to listen or amarok. amarok is kde which i don't like
[13:37] <demon012> !flash | H3Av3N2233
[13:37] <ubotu> H3Av3N2233: please see above
[13:37] <stefg> murlidhar: whatever you choose. But as a matter of fact listen seems unmaintained for a while
[13:37] <demon012> ubotu rocks =)
[13:37] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about rocks =) - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[13:38] <demon012> lol
[13:38] <chazco> ok... demon012 - liveCD is having exact same issue on a completly different PC (laptop) :(
[13:38] <jonasj> haha
[13:38] <qwerty121> demon012: ubotu is a bot
[13:38] <murlidhar> stefg: so i got no choice but to use exaile :(
[13:38] <Montego> Anyone know how to setup desktop icons using gnome to open with one click?
[13:38] <demon012> qwerty121: i know lol but it rocks =)

[13:38] <chazco> So... anyone got any new ideas for this?
[13:39] <qwerty121> is there any package in Ubuntu to develop flash?

[13:39] <spiderfire> therese: what are the card differences?
[13:39] <chazco> I'm after a flash-like drawing app... some decent vector one... any ideas?
[13:40] <demon012> qwerty121: there is a package called swftools not sure how good it is tho
[13:40] <Jahman> hu
[13:40] <stefg> chazco: 7.04 is more stable anyway.
[13:40] <spiderfire> ya is there a flash making tool?
[13:40] <therese> the new I tryed is a geforce and the other is onboard.. Removed the geforce but still can't log on
[13:40] <chazco> stefg: unforutnaly it wasnt for me :(
[13:40] <^^Name^^> Hi, I cant get backspace to work when I'm using 'screen' in Terminal..

[13:42] <praet0r> apt-get install nvidia-glx-new ?
[13:42] <superpigs> ?
[13:42] <praet0r> did you try that?
[13:42] <demon012> for the people who are interested in flash it apparently runs at gold rating
[13:42] <chazco> Not after flash itself, just a drawing app with a similar interface
[13:42] <spiderfire> therese: ok so log in to your console first, then type sudo apt-get install nvidia-glx-new

[13:46] <demon012> press ctrl + h while in your home directory in nautilus
[13:46] <murlidhar> stefg: P4 1.5
[13:46] <chazco> That fixed it :D

[13:47] <demon012> did you carry over your home directory from an older version of ubuntu chazco?
[13:47] <alain> hey anyone play online games like ragnarok online..coz i cant make it work with wine :((
[13:47] <demon012> because they may have changed something in their config files
[13:47] <chazco> Yep, but i emptied it first (just kept my media etc)
[13:47] <b0r3d> hi hi
[13:47] <gobbo> chazco what is the webpage issue?
[13:47] <therese> spiderfire: ok, it's starting up so we'll se:-)

[13:48] <b0r3d> how to make it when i press F1 > Xterm gets executed?
[13:48] <demon012> weird
[13:48] <chazco> gobbo - a webpage, just the one, loads dead slowly on 7.10... works on 7.04, Vista etc
[13:48] <juanez> !backports
[13:48] <gobbo> what's the page?
[13:48] <ubotu> If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging
[13:48] <chazco> Same issue in all browsers, 7.10 liveCD on another PC has same issue
[13:48] <Alyxander> ?
[13:48] <demon012> gobbo we have ruled out browsers and the operating system that is installed on the machine
[13:48] <chazco> An internal uni one
[13:48] <spiderfire> therese: after you have install the card. reconfigure your /etc/X11/xorg.conf with the command "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg"
[13:48] <gobbo> tried opera?
[13:48] <demon012> reoccurs during a live session too
[13:48] <clever> !install
[13:48] <chazco> Yep
[13:48] <ubotu> Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install?

[13:48] <cleaton> chazco, have you tried blacklisting ipv6?
[13:49] <dotjay> Alyxander: i tried but was unable to open it may be my memory was not sufficient
[13:49] <chazco> Tried disabling it via Firefox, and via ifconfig at one point
[13:49] <therese> spiderfire: ok the same thing happend... should I reconfigure in the shell?
[13:49] <cleaton> !ipv6
[13:49] <ubotu> To disable ipv6 read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WebBrowsingSlowIPv6IPv4
[13:49] <cleaton> read that
[13:49] <cleaton> if you haven't
[13:49] <spiderfire> therese: yes in all in the shell
[13:49] <Crazy|One> is there a way of resetting my graphics card driver to the default machine selected one?
[13:49] <dotjay> murlidhar: try using songbird its really great and easy to use
[13:49] <chazco> So, a system wide change may have better effect than just Firefox cleaton? Will try it
[13:50] <demon012> yeh try it chaz sounds like it possibly could work
[13:50] <therese> spiderfire: It did not log in as normal this time either
[13:50] <murlidhar> stefg: earlier gutsy didn't give me any problem
[13:50] <gpled> anyone on west cost?
[13:50] <demon012> because the live disk would have the same settings
[13:50] <cleaton> chazco, yeah, blocking ipv6 seems to work for most
[13:50] <murlidhar> stefg: i never felt my beta was broken
[13:50] <gobbo> maybe you could use something like wireshark to figure it out?
[13:50] <spiderfire> therese: did you try /etc/init.d/gdm restart?
[13:50] <F1_codecs> i need help about movie's, clips, codec... anyone?1
[13:50] <chazco> ok, will try
[13:50] <Alyxander> dotjay tried what?
[13:51] <chazco> ok, got to restart apparantly... brb
[13:51] <Moldador> I made update to my ubuntu 6.06 for the first time yesterday and now I can't use ubuntu anymore, cause text get bugged, what can i do?
[13:51] <Ackdar> http://rafb.net/p/Lhh2Sf77.html <-- Can anyone analyze this and tell me why it won't work?
[13:51] <stefg> murlidhar: the kernel changed a lot before the release. I'd simply use feisty on that box, since it's to old for compiz anyway, and there's no point in dealing with all the gutsy issues for no real new features
[13:52] <F1_codecs> need help about movies codec anyone?
[13:52] <therese> spiderfire: now I got the window that is setting up xserver-xorg. Should I choose find hardware automaticly?
[13:52] <Alyxander> moldador restart x ctrl+alt+bkspc
[13:52] <demon012> ackdar any reason you are building compiz from source? just after bleeding edge?
[13:52] <spiderfire> therese: ya
[13:52] <demon012> !compiz
[13:52] <ubotu> Compiz (compositing window manager) and XGL (X server architecture layered on top of OpenGL) - Howto at http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager - help in #compiz-fusion
[13:52] <Moldador> thank you Alyxander
[13:53] <Ackdar> demon012, it's not available through apt-get in dapper
[13:53] <chazco> ok, here goes
[13:53] <spiderfire> Ackdar: looks like you need the nvidia-glx-dev file installed. i could be wrong
[13:53] <murlidhar> stefg: do u thinks P4 is too old. i am using p3 too . and my gutsy doesn't give any problem in it although a bit slow.
[13:53] <cleaton> chazco, any success?
[13:53] <brian_> hello , I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and wireless connection keep  cutting off in about 15 minutes
[13:53] <brian_> help
[13:53] <Ackdar> spiderfire, I don't have an nvidia card
[13:54] <therese> spiderfore: the buss-ID comes up with PCI:1:0:0 is that right, no changes?
[13:54] <chazco> About to find out
[13:54] <gobbo> can you read packets? lol i dunno
[13:54] <chazco> Doesnt look like it
[13:54] <spiderfire> therese: ya
[13:54] <chazco> Nope, same problem
[13:54] <chazco> so its not ipv6 then
[13:54] <therese> spiderfire: nice of you to help:-)
[13:54] <gobbo> try user agent switcher for firefox
[13:54] <F1_codecs> anyone help about playing codec?
[13:54] <cleaton> chazco, try the "Identifying the Broken Device" part
[13:54] <chazco> Tried multiple browsers, no luck... it works on the same firefox on 7.04
[13:55] <chazco> ?
[13:55] <Ackdar> gah!
[13:55] <stefg> murlidhar: i regard gutsy as the worst release canonical has dared to push out up to now, and there is simply no point in taking a lot of effort to fix the various issues when there's not much to gain. It might be worthwile for certain hardware, but i don't consider it my job to clean after a largely broken release
[13:55] <Odd-rationale> F1_codecs: have you tried using VLC?
[13:55] <brian_>  hello , I am using Ubuntu 7.10 and wireless connection keep  cutting off in about 15 minutes
[13:55] <brian_>  help
[13:55] <Ackdar> suddenly compiz is available through the synaptic?
[13:55] <gobbo> tried updating?
[13:55] <chazco> Tried the identifying bit before, everything work as it should
[13:56] <chazco> Updating what?
[13:56] <F1_codecs> Odd-rationale: i think that is only player i didn try
[13:56] <gobbo> getting the latest updates
[13:56] <spiderfire> Ackdar: not sure how you tell the src to not compile in that support...maybe it has an option when you configure it?
[13:56] <cleaton> chazco, dig AAAA www.kame.net
[13:56] <chazco> Everything should be the latest atm
[13:56] <demon012> ackdar check this out http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2006/06/18/xgl-compiz-nvidia-ubuntu-6061-dapper-drake/
[13:56] <murlidhar> stefg: i heard gutsy is too bad .
[13:56] <chazco> cleaton: did that before, everything worked fine
[13:56] <demon012> think you may need one of the mesa packages
[13:56] <Odd-rationale> F1_codecs: Try it and see if it works.
[13:57] <cleaton> you get the same query time for ipv6 and ipv4?
[13:57] <gobbo> turn off your firewall to test
[13:57] <atlfalcons866> is 933MHz enough for 3d effects
[13:57] <chazco> pretty much
[13:57] <Davren> I'm going to buy a Logitech Attack 3 flight stick, don't see it mentioned on forums, anyone think it'll work? it's usb
[13:57] <cleaton> ok hm strange
[13:57] <ubuntu> I already have grub installed, starting a distro. if I want to install another distro then start it through grub, all I have to do is update menu.lst on the previously installed distro's /boot/grub, right?
[13:57] <chazco> I'm pretty certain its not ipv6
[13:57] <therese> spiderfire: I set it up. trying to restart
[13:57] <murlidhar> stefg: maybe the canonical was too eager to release the distro on time
[13:57] <Ackdar> that'
[13:57] <Ackdar> s odd...
[13:58] <cleaton> chazco, ok, what about pinging you any difference in ping in 7.04 and 7.10?
[13:58] <chazco> seems just like it used to (pinged google)
[13:58] <demon012> ackdar what is odd?
[13:58] <cleaton> weird
[13:58] <Ackdar> "never mind
[13:58] <spiderfire> Ackdar: what about this? http://compiz.org/Compiling#Build-Depends_on_Debian
[13:58] <F1_codecs> Odd-rationale: can u tell me how to boot ubuntu 7.10 with some generic display adapters, mine frend have problems with it, he on nVidia 6600?!
[13:59] <postman_> sudo dpkg-reconfigue xserver-xorg
[13:59] <gobbo> so its just one web page thats the problem?
[13:59] <gobbo> everything else is fine?
[13:59] <chazco> Yep - except it cant be the page since it works on 7.04 / Vista
[13:59] <cleaton> F1_codecs, you have installed 7.10 but messed up the drivers?

[14:01] <F1_codecs> Odd-rationale:does vlc have subtitle support?
[14:02] <demon012> np chazco
[14:02] <TwigEther> hmm, my Feisty -> Gutsy upgrade was almost flawless. Only thing that broke was Beryl, so I had to nuke that.
[14:02] <gobbo> I would try pinging some other sites from 7.04 and compare
[14:02] <demon012> post this on the forums m8
[14:02] <cleaton> F1_codecs, yes it has subtitle suport
[14:02] <cleaton> support*
[14:02] <chazco> Need to register, but i think thats the next stage
[14:02] <demon012> kk m8 nice speaking to you
[14:02] <therese> spiderfire: almost all ok.. But there's one little thing The right side of the desktop is a bit out of the screen. Guess it's easy to adjust??
[14:02] <F1_codecs> when he boot ubuntu 7.10 from cd and when he come to option run or install ubuntu he got stuck and got fuzzie screan
[14:03] <F1_codecs> when he boot ubuntu 7.10 from cd and when he come to option run or install ubuntu he got stuck and got fuzzie screan somthing wierd
[14:03] <Odd-rationale> F1_codecs: Maybe the alternative cd would be better.
[14:03] <cleaton> F1_codecs, alternate cd or try to get to the safe graphics option in the boot menu of the livecd
[14:03] <F1_codecs> i burned 2 cds + mine that i used to instal ubuntu 7.10
[14:03] <F1_codecs> that is out as option
[14:04] <cleaton> F1_codecs, is the boot menu also in fuzzie graphics?
[14:04] <cleaton> on the cd
[14:04] <F1_codecs> no
[14:04] <spiderfire> therese: not sure about that...is that your monitor?
[14:04] <F1_codecs> boot meny is as suppose to be
[14:04] <jaz_> I was using the Nuvola theme until I upgraded to 7.10, after which the icons disappeared. I downloaded Nuvola again from and tried to reinstall it by drag-and-drop from the desktop into the Appearance Manager window. I get a message to say that it has been installed, but when I try to apply it, nothing happens. If I try to customise the current theme with the Nuvola icons, nothing happens.
[14:04] <cleaton> F1_codecs,  then try and use safe graphics
[14:05] <F1_codecs> kk
[14:05] <F1_codecs> ill try that
[14:05] <spiderfire> therese: you can also install nvidia-setting or nvidia-xconfig to configure your xorg.conf further
[14:05] <BlackPhoenix313> !fstab
[14:05] <ubotu> The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[14:05] <gobbo> is 7.10 buggy?
[14:05] <BlackPhoenix313> yes
[14:05] <tarmo> how to install http://gmplib.org/ to ubuntu ?
[14:05] <gobbo> im on 7.04 so - whew
[14:05] <spiderfire> therese: or i think it already is included with the driver
[14:05] <spiderfire> therese: so you just have to type nvidia-settings
[14:06] <F1_codecs> can anyone tell me how to owertake ntfs acces to particular folder?
[14:06] <fluffman> can you elaborate, F1_codecs
[14:06] <gobbo> fstab?

[14:07] <F1_codecs> The folder contents could not be displayed.
[14:07] <sjovan> what do i need to do?
[14:07] <F1_codecs> created under winxp
[14:07] <fluffman> F1_codecs: are you running gutsy or feisty?
[14:08] <Odd-rationale> sjovan: Are you on gutsy?
[14:08] <F1_codecs> i had message before but i cleaned system acces and added new privilegies that worked k till now

[14:09] <ChrisR> Hey Guys, I just upgrade an old laptop to Gutsy from Feisty and now it's dog slow. Does anyone know what change in service processes might have triggered it/how to fix it?

[14:09] <fluffman> well, F1_codecs, I'm lost as to what would do that.  I would say it was a lack of ntfs write support, but now I'm not sure.  try restoring the original rights, maybe
[14:10] <sjovan> odd-ratio: yes, i have that installed
[14:10] <gobbo> ntfs-3g
[14:10] <demon012> anyone here play eve-online?

[14:15] <v3ctor> on the livecd
[14:16] <Montego> Anyone know how I can auto mount a second hard drive with fat32 file sys?
[14:16] <VSpike> v3ctor: once you install it doesnt it start automatically?
[14:16] <v3ctor> VSpike: it does
[14:16] <gobbo> F1_codecs: open up /etc/fstab in a text editor
[14:16] <astro76> Montego, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions
[14:16] <needhelp> I'm having problems getting into ubuntu. I get to the login screen and all, but I can't login to my user account. This happend right after i used truecrypt to make a volume. Everything went weird and now I can't login to my account. It says I don't have the permissions to do so. Anyone who can hlep me?
[14:16] <Montego> astro76 Thanks

[14:17] <kakoonia> i changed the repositories settings so it would get all updates.. now i recieved lots of updates.. restricted/beta... i saw there something like - gnome-docking
[14:17] <jtruxton> i just installed gutsy on my older p4 1.7ghz, 760 mb ram, it seems really slow, is that normal for this computer, I know it isn't a supercomputer, but still, realy slow..  any hints on what to do to boost the performance a little?
[14:17] <debianisbetter> gutsy no good
[14:17] <paultab> jtruxton, maybe it appears to be slow because your drivers are not working
[14:17] <jtruxton> that is overall slow, not just firefox, i did disble the ip6 tho, but that doesn't hel[
[14:17] <fluffman> jtruxton, I've got about the same specs, and it's lightning fast
[14:18] <F1_codecs> gobbo: done
[14:18] <kakoonia> gnome-docking is similar to kiba-dock?
[14:18] <sjovan> jtruxton: you shouldn't have a problem on 1,7 ghz, but maby you should try xubuntu
[14:18] <jtruxton> since I am new to ubuntu, linux in gernal, how would one go about checking such a thing?
[14:18] <Ackdar> how can I make the following commands work on startup:   sudo slmosemd --alsa -c USA modem:1   and   sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m
[14:18] <Crazy|One> ubuntu server <-----  does that have a desktop?
[14:18] <paultab> jtruxton, run "glxgears" in console, how many fps do you get?
[14:18] <v3ctor> Crazy|One: no
[14:18] <kjkj> i am writing a script at the bash shell, i have a variable %test%=abcd:efd and i want to slit into %test%=abcd & %test2%=efd does anybody have an idea?
[14:18] <Crazy|One> kk
[14:19] <axz> Can someone help me with my encrypted partition?
[14:19] <v3ctor> Crazy|One: but you can install one
[14:19] <Crazy|One> will look it up, thanks
[14:19] <Ackdar> that's preposterous... the ability to install a desktop on a server where one is not even needed?
[14:20] <sjovan> how do i get the panel to go with the emerlad theme like this ----> http://ubuntuforums.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=37155&d=1183421754
[14:20] <ikonia> sjovan join #ubuntu-effects
[14:20] <sjovan> ikonia: k, thanx
[14:20] <v3ctor> Ackdar: i have used the server versio to get a minimal install, then i installed xfce on it
[14:20] <axz> !encryption
[14:20] <ubotu> Sorry, I don't know anything about encryption - try searching on http://ubotu.ubuntu-nl.org/factoids.cgi
[14:20] <paultab> i got a problem with playing videos on ubuntu in general... im running a radeon 9800 with fglrx, and videos, especially in full screen, appear not to have anti-aliasing enabled. any suggestions?
[14:20] <wornof> At what speed should I burn an ubuntu liveCD to have the best chance of it working without problems?
[14:20] <wornof> 1x, 2x, 4x...
[14:20] <wornof> I'm not sure if really slow ones would be overkill
[14:20] <ikonia> wornof: the slower the better
[14:21] <ikonia> wornof: but it doesn't really matter with modern cd burners
[14:21] <zechs> my volume keys don't seem to be attached to any volume controller... if I press volume up on the computer keyboard, the volume meter appears and shows movement, but the actual volume doesn't change
[14:21] <timewriter> wornof cd at 16 x is safe
[14:21] <jtruxton> 780 frames in 5.0 seconds = 156.000 FPS
[14:21] <fluffman> wornof: if your computer can keep up, anything is fine
[14:21] <jtruxton> seems slow
[14:21] <paultab> yeah thats kinda slow
[14:21] <Ackdar> I ask once again fo those who didn't see it:  how can I make the following commands work on startup:   sudo slmosemd --alsa -c USA modem:1   and   sudo modprobe snd-intel8x0m
[14:21] <zechs> in fact, it appears that the volume buttons are attached to the microphone channel
[14:21] <paultab> what graphics card are you running ubuntu with?
[14:21] <wornof> fluffman: Hehe, it might not be able to
[14:21] <Ackdar> slmodemd*
[14:21] <wornof> Thanks for the help, though
[14:21] <ompaul> wornof, 8 is about the norm
[14:21] <jtruxton> intel, whatever came witht he computer  :(
[14:22] <wornof> Well, I'll go for 4. I'm not in a hurry
[14:22] <wornof> And I only have the one CD
[14:22] <wornof> Thanks for the help!
[14:22] <fluffman> ompaul: no, I burn my ubuntu cd's at 48x
[14:22] <jtruxton> have to crackt he case ffor teh model, this may be it, thanks!uh?
[14:22] <needhelp> I'm having problems getting into ubuntu. I get to the login screen and all, but I can't login to my user account. This happend right after i used truecrypt to make a volume. Everything went weird and now I can't login to my account. It says I don't have the permissions to do so. Anyone who can hlep me?
[14:22] <ikonia> wornof: if you only hasve the 1 cd - -then go as slow as possible
[14:22] <VSpike> kjkj: i think you can do test1=$(echo $test | cut -f 1 -d :)
[14:22] <ompaul> fluffman, you have a world class burner then most ordinary ones could not handle that and keep them safe
[14:22] <axz> Can someone help me with my encrypted partition? i have encrypted partition but cant be foubd by Gparted it says Unknown
[14:23] <tasos> thanks VSpike
[14:23] <ikonia> needhelp: what partition did you encypt ?
[14:23] <fluffman> ompaul: nope, a 4 year old HP with an AMD athlon 64 3000+
[14:23] <axz> hda1
[14:23] <ikonia> axz: its unknown becuase its ecypted and can't be rad
[14:23] <ikonia> read
[14:23] <needhelp> ikonia: well, I pointed it to the desktop and to a text file
[14:23] <fluffman> maybe I'm just lucky :\
[14:23] <cleaton> fluffman, glxinfo | grep vendor
[14:23] <axz> it bin encrypted by my opensuse os... before i installed ubuntu
[14:23] <ompaul> fluffman, most of them fall right down in speed when they actually burn, so if it is doing it at 48 it is one rockin burner
[14:23] <timewriter> intel rocks videocards world
[14:23] <timewriter> :)
[14:23] <ikonia> needhelp: I don't follow, what did you actually encypt
[14:24] <axz> ikonia, how to mount it so i can input pass in it
[14:24] <EdgEy> does anyone here use an msn client on ubuntu, looking for something that offers a bit more than pidgin, seems its still the same as gaim was a few years ago
[14:24] <fluffman> cleaton: sorry, I'm not on that computer right now, I'm on my laptop
[14:24] <EdgEy> no personal message support even
[14:24] <needhelp> ikonia: I didn't encrypt anything I think, I only made a volume
[14:24] <cleaton> fluffman, oh ok =)
[14:24] <therese> EdgEy: amsn
[14:24] <ikonia> needhelp: I thought you said you used truecrypt ?
[14:24] <roy> edgey i am still using Gaim
[14:24] <needhelp> ikonia: yeah, to make a volume
[14:24] <timewriter> gaim ownz
[14:25] <EdgEy> i like gaim but little things are missing :/
[14:25] <axz> is it posible to mount a encrypted patition?
[14:25] <axz> i know the pass
[14:25] <EdgEy> dont need webcam or voice chat etc
[14:25] <ikonia> needhelp: needhelp that encypts things
[14:25] <therese> EdgEy: Amsn offers a lot of plugins and can look and work just like MS msn if thats what youre looking for
[14:25] <ikonia> axz: you have to unencypt it before mounting it
[14:26] <needhelp> ikonia: and when I made that volume, everything got wierd and all my permissions on my user account went to hell
[14:26] <axz> ikonia, oke how to do that?
[14:26] <fluffman> timewriter: are you in a time warp
[14:26] <ikonia> axz: how did you encypt it ?
[14:26] <timewriter> sometimes
[14:26] <axz> with partition manager on opensuse...
[14:26] <ikonia> needhelp: sounds like you've encypted something you shouldn't have
[14:26] <fluffman> gaim is OOOOOOOLD
[14:26] <timewriter> old wine is the best

[14:45] <darkspirit> hi, how can I close a running process in ubuntu?
[14:45] <corecomps> any here in the position to help answer a few questions for a first time ubuntu user?
[14:46] <orochimaru> oi
[14:46] <mrputa> hi
[14:46] <compwiz18> !ask
[14:46] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[14:46] <jul> darkspirit: sounds like you want to use killall --etc, doesnt it?
[14:46] <darkspirit> jul: does it kill a process?
[14:46] <astro76> darkspirit, one way is System > Administration > System Monitor
[14:46] <Sinlore_> Anyone here know how to install Steam into Wine?
[14:46] <corecomps> is openOffice included with the amd64 CD dl?
[14:46] <compwiz18> corecomps, yep
[14:47] <jul> I think so, darksp
[14:47] <astro76> darkspirit, if it's a gui program that still has a window up, run xkill and click the window
[14:47] <jul> I think so, darkspirit.
[14:47] <Cyrus25801> if i installed ubuntu first and then resize a hdd and install windows on how do i edit my grub menu so that i get the menu when i start the pc
[14:47] <darkspirit> astro76: nop, it's closed but process still open (firefox)
[14:47] <VSpike> v3ctor: what user and pass will i need to connect to the ssh server on live cd?
[14:47] <compwiz18> Cyrus25801, gksudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
[14:47] <astro76> darkspirit, then system monitor, or killall firefox
[14:47] <daning> b0r3d: sorry. I'm trying.
[14:47] <Sinlore_> Can someone help me install Steam using Wine??
[14:47] <compwiz18> Cyrus25801, then edit away
[14:47] <v3ctor> VSpike: no idea
[14:48] <needhelp> ikonia: this creates a user with no pass I would pressume?
[14:48] <Ackdar> I installed compiz via synaptic, and now it won't show up in the menu or menu editor
[14:48] <cleaton> !steam
[14:48] <ubotu> Steam can be found at: http://www.steampowered.com/
[14:48] <compwiz18> Sinlore_, tried any guides?
[14:48] <Cyrus25801> compwiz18: thanx
[14:48] <compwiz18> Cyrus25801, no problem
[14:48] <darkspirit> astro76: process doesn't die...
[14:49] <Cyrus25801> compwiz18: do i first edit it then install windows or first windows then edit?
[14:49] <Sinlore_> compwiz18: Yes, although I'm still having troubles. I have the SteamInstall.MSI on my desktop, but can't figure out what to do from there.
[14:49] <corecomps> where does a person find drivers for common chipsets (nForce 530/630)?
[14:49] <darkspirit> astro76: it says it's in zombie state
[14:49] <CochiseIRL> Sinlore_, add the wine repoś from wine hq to your sources.list install wine, download steam from a terminal type: msiexec -l steam.msi
[14:49] <paultab> whats the beser way to install the xvid codec? i just installed the codec packs through totem player... was that wrong?
[14:49] <paultab> *best way
[14:49] <compwiz18> Sinlore_, just a guess, open a terminal and run wine ~/Desktop/SteamInstall.MSI
[14:50] <compwiz18> Cyrus25801, doesn't matter, probably better to do it after...
[14:50] <compwiz18> Cyrus25801, installing Windows will remove grub, so you will be unable to boot Ubuntu without using a livecd to restore grub to the master boot record
[14:50] <CochiseIRL> Sinlore_, you have to type msiexec -l SteamInstall.msi from a terminal and the steam install will launch
[14:50] <Sinlore_> compwiz18: I get "bash: /home/sinlore/Desktop/SteamInstall.msi: Permission denied" when I used the command.
[14:50] <cleaton> wine msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi  <- this should work
[14:50] <JarG0n> how do I find the UUID of a device?
[14:50] <astro76> darkspirit, http://www.linuxsa.org.au/tips/zombies.html
[14:50] <compwiz18> JarG0n, is said device a HDD?
[14:51] <astro76> !uuid | JarG0n
[14:51] <ubotu> JarG0n: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)
[14:51] <JarG0n> compwiz18> it's a USB thumbdrive
[14:51] <compwiz18> JarG0n, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=find+uuid+hard+drive&btnG=Google+Search
[14:51] <JarG0n> thx!
[14:51] <needhelp> k
[14:51] <needhelp> Is there any way at all to login with root in ubuntu
[14:51] <cleaton> Sinlore_, i'm going to install steam myself, i can probably help you
[14:52] <compwiz18> needhelp, in a terminal or in Gnome or something?
[14:52] <Ackdar> needhelp, I don't think so
[14:52] <Sinlore_> CochiseIRL: I just tried that, and it gave me a big list of commands to use.
[14:52] <needhelp> compwiz18 gnome
[14:52] <astro76> needhelp, there is if a password is set, but there is no need to
[14:52] <CochiseIRL> okay try msiexec -i steaminstall.msi
[14:52] <compwiz18> needhelp, I think if you go to Admin -> Login Window there is an option about letting root login
[14:52] <Sinlore_> cleaton: Help is very much appreciated. =D
[14:52] <astro76> needhelp, even if you really need a root shell, you can do sudo -i
[14:52] <CochiseIRL> Sinlore_,  okay try msiexec -i steaminstall.msi
[14:52] <Sinlore_> CochiseIRL: fixme:msi:MSI_OpenDatabaseW open failed r = 80030050!
[14:53] <needhelp> astro76: yeah, but that's not my problem though. My problem is that i accidently encrypted my desktop so I can't login to it with my normal user
[14:53] <cleaton> Sinlore_, you have wine installed?
[14:53] <Sinlore_> cleaton: Yes.
[14:53] <needhelp> astro76: so i can only sit in terminal -.-
[14:53] <Ackdar> I installed compiz via synaptic, and now it won't show up in the menu or menu editor. So why won't it work?
[14:53] <CochiseIRL> Sinlore_, download the msi again and try again, may be corrupted what wine are you using?
[14:53] <cleaton> ok, get a clean steaminstall.msi
[14:53] <cleaton> put it in your home folder
[14:53] <compwiz18> needhelp, what good is logging in as root going to do you then?
[14:53] <cleaton> and open a terminal
[14:53] <kikkertje> Hi, could someone help me with getting my Ipod working under gutsy?
[14:53] <cleaton> and write "wine msiexec /i SteamInstall.msi"
[14:53] <cleaton> and press enter
[14:53] <Sinlore_> CochiseIRL: 0.9.46
[14:53] <astro76> needhelp, so if you're in terminal, my statement stands, you don't need to actually login as root
[14:54] <Nallep> JarG0n: you can also list all uuid by typing  ls /dev/disk/by-uuid
[14:54] <PriceChild> kikkertje, what doesn't work?
[14:54] <corecomps> where does a person find drivers for his hardware?
[14:54] <timewriter> :)
[14:54] <compwiz18> !enter
[14:54] <ubotu> Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line - don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation!
[14:54] <Creed> How can I get the volume control utility to show up in the tray? Its not there...
[14:54] <astro76> corecomps, supported hardware is already contained in the linux kernel, what are you trying to make work?
[14:54] <Bonster> any flv to mp4 converter?
[14:54] <cleaton> Sinlore_, you get a error?
[14:54] <Sinlore_> cleaton: I get "fixme:msi:MSI_OpenDatabaseW open failed r = 80030050!
[14:54] <Sinlore_> "
[14:55] <corecomps> sorry, my questions are "preinstallation" but I have a nForce 630 motherboard AM2 computer
[14:55] <VSpike> v3ctor: should i get her to do sudo adduser do you think?
[14:55] <noelferreira> there was any change in DNS handling from 7.04 to 7.10? I use to have a p2p program with a hostname from 'dyndns.org' that worked fine but now it gives me a segmentation fault.
[14:55] <Creed> Bonster, VLC can do conversions from pretty much anything to anything.
[14:55] <compwiz18> JarG0n, ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid shows disks and their associated uuids
[14:55] <kikkertje> PriceChild, Well, I restred my settings in Itunes, and then I connected it on ubuntu, and added some songs trough rythmbox, but my Ipod says there's "no music"
[14:55] <needhelp> astro76: hm, k. But um, do you have any idea how I can fix this tho? I can't seem to login to my desktop as I'm getting Users $HOME/. dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents blabla from being saved, File should be owned by user and have 644 permissions.
[14:55] <kikkertje> PriceChild, but when I reconnect my ipod, rythmbox see's the songs though
[14:55] <Bonster> Creed: oh really
[14:56] <cleaton> Sinlore_, try and download a new .msi it's working perfectly for me
[14:56] <compwiz18> needhelp, that usually means you don't have a /home/$USER directory
[14:56] <Sinlore_> CochiseIRL: Is there a way to download the .MSI for steam through the terminal instead of looking for it on a website?
[14:56] <piedoggie> what's the best forum/mailing list for discussing how to add applications to a live CD..  I don't necessarily mean modifying the live CD but may be a live CD plus a flash stick or something containing the application.
[14:56] <CochiseIRL> Sinlore_, yes one sec
[14:56] <nonewmsgs_> where can i get emerald fusion themes?  i tried the button in emerald and i tried apt-get install emerald-themes
[14:56] <Sinlore_> CochiseIRL: Okies, ty.
[14:56] <Creed> Bonster, in VLC: File > Wizard > Transcode to file
[14:56] <astro76> needhelp, you could just add another user, didn't that work?
[14:56] <PriceChild> kikkertje, I don't understand, don't know sorry.
[14:56] <DShepherd> how can i search a specific repository?
[14:56] <kikkertje> nonewmsgs_, try gnome-looks.org
[14:57] <kikkertje> PriceChild, no problem, tnx for your time ;)
[14:57] <davidlowry> Whatup
[14:57] <astro76> corecomps, most things should work fine, if you want to check before you install, just boot the Ubuntu livecd
[14:57] <nonewmsgs_> kikkertje thanks
[14:58] <corecomps> astro76, thanks, I'll give that a try
[14:58] <JarG0n> compwiz18> thank you
[14:59] <compwiz18> JarG0n, no problem
[14:59] <noelferreira> there was any change in DNS handling from 7.04 to 7.10? I use to have a p2p program with a hostname from 'dyndns.org' that worked fine but now it gives me a segmentation fault.
[14:59] <Creed> How can I get the volume control utility to show up in the tray? Its not there...
[14:59] <Bonster> Creed: how u make it output mp4 is greyed out in VLC
[14:59] <CochiseIRL> Sinlore_, nope u gotta go throught the site
[15:00] <Sinlore_> CochiseIRL: Ok, thanks for finding out for me. =D
[15:00] <Sinlore_> cleaton: Where did you get your SteamInstall.msi at?
[15:00] <misiek9321> #ubuntu.pl
[15:00] <kbrooks> noelferreira, the p2p prog is defective
[15:01] <astro76> noelferreira, what program and what does it have to do with dyndns? AFAIK most p2p programs use just IP addresses
[15:01] <cleaton> Sinlore_, steam's site just
[15:01] <cleaton> what version of ubuntu are you using?
[15:01] <noelferreira> astro76: it is gbox for cardsharing
[15:01] <kbrooks> astro76, again, its the p2p prog not anything else
[15:01] <Creed> Bonster, mp4 is a container, not a codec type.
[15:01] <astro76> kbrooks, agreed
[15:02] <Sinlore_> cleaton: Yay its installed! ^.^
[15:02] <Creed> question, is it 7 on the west coast or 8?
[15:02] <noelferreira> astro76: it is not the gbox i have it and i alwyas have it running. i have it working now with 2.18 kernel
[15:03] <astro76> Creed, http://www.time.gov/
[15:03] <VSpike> is there a group required for ssh access?
[15:03] <Sinlore_> cleaton: I'm running Gutsy.
[15:03] <noelferreira> kbrooks: do you now gbox or do you ever used it?
[15:03] <noelferreira> kbrooks: do you know gbox or do you ever used it?
[15:04] <axz> Whats best way to change firefox64 and replace it with 32?
[15:04] <kbrooks> noelferreira, no, but i do know one thing. gbox is buggy.
[15:04] <cleaton> Sinlore_, it worked when you got a new version from their site?
[15:04] <kbrooks> noelferreira, please do not ignore what i say
[15:04] <Sinlore_> cleaton: Yes.

[15:06] <Sinlore_> cleaton: Although, when I run Steam, its saying theres already a copy of Steam being ran.
[15:06] <noelferreira> there was any change in DNS handling from 7.04 to 7.10? I use to have a p2p program with a hostname from 'dyndns.org' that worked fine but now it gives me a segmentation fault.
[15:06] <PriceChild> gah
[15:06] <Dicey> I am on amd64, should i install w64codecs instead of win32codecs?
[15:06] <kbrooks> noelferreira, it is defective because it segfaulted
[15:07] <cleaton> Sinlore_, i got the same i just started it again
[15:07] <stefg> yay..  ban- overkill :-)
[15:07] <kbrooks> noelferreira, a segmentation fault means that a program intruded on memory
[15:07] <noelferreira> but it has nothing to do with the program kbrooks. so the prog is not defective.
[15:07] <Sinlore_> cleaton: So what should I do to terminate the other running copy of Steam?
[15:07] <noelferreira> not always kbrooks.
[15:07] <kbrooks> noelferreira, ... it is defective.
[15:07] <kbrooks> noelferreira, you dont trust me, do you?
[15:07] <Archon_SD> Good morning, room.
[15:08] <noelferreira> i'm sure it is not defective
[15:08] <cleaton> Sinlore_, i didn't need to terminate another copy :S but you can check in system monitor
[15:08] <kbrooks> noelferreira: well, it is defective  because it segfaulted.
[15:08] <cleaton> system -> administration -> systemmonitor
[15:08] <kbrooks> noelferreira, it is a bug
[15:09] <noelferreira> the problem it there's a problem with dns handling because if i cahnge my hostname to my local ip it works great. the problem has something to do with DNS resolving hostnames. don+t you trust me kbrooks?
[15:09] <Archon_SD> Google is not being my friend.  I was hoping to find someone who has 7.10, is using the nVidia restricted driver and may have solved the login problem I´m running into where I can´t login to GDM as any user but can startX just fine..  and Sudo isn´t working from X but does from the CLI.
[15:09] <Sinlore_> cleaton: It gets to 26% and stops and gives me the message about another copy running. >.<
[15:09] <VSpike> ok, now connect to live cd by ssh but it won't let me sudo (not in sudoers file)... any idea if i can su?
[15:09] <kbrooks> noelferreira, you are wrong there, unfortunately
[15:10] <noelferreira> kbrooks: try to learn something too and not just saying this and that. anyway my questin is simple? there was any kind of change in dns handling from 2.18 kernel for 2.22?
[15:10] <kbrooks> noelferreira, You are online right now usina a IRC client. You typed www.foo.com in your web browser. Both work.
[15:10] <cleaton> Sinlore_, http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wiwimod/index.php?page=howto%20steam#crash26
[15:10] <noelferreira> forget kbrooks
[15:10] <kbrooks> noelferreira, NO, there was not any kind of change in dns handling
[15:11] <Creed> how do i mount an iso?
[15:11] <timewriter> world of warcraft & burning crusade smoothly installed with cedega
[15:11] <kbrooks> noelferreira, i am trying to tell you it was gbox
[15:11] <noelferreira> thanks kbrooks
[15:11] <kbrooks> noelferreira, and not Linux

[15:12] <kbrooks> noelferreira, i just eliminated the other thing - other applications work.
[15:12] <arijus> in private maybe would be better?
[15:12] <kbrooks> noelferreira, therefore it isn't linux
[15:12] <Creed> arijus, this is a fine :) Maybe theres someone else who needs help with unrar as well.
[15:12] <noelferreira> sure kbrooks
[15:12] <douviss_> j'ai un pb avec l'hibernation
[15:12] <arijus> ok :)
[15:12] <noelferreira> it is the new kernel not linuc
[15:12] <douviss_> hello
[15:12] <kbrooks> noelferreira, you don't seem to have much confidence in our ability to help you
[15:12] <Creed> kbrooks, noelferreira take it private if youre gonna be yellin at each other.
[15:12] <Archon_SD> Anyone having any authentication problems in 7.10 that only seem to crop up when X or GDM are loaded?
[15:12] <arijus> i don't speek in english very well so sorry for my broken english :)

[15:17] <arang2> stefg im running gutsy as a guest
[15:17] <cleaton> Sinlore_, you know what you can try, you can see if steaminstall.exe works for you
[15:17] <arang2> stefg: that s why i said vmware-tools
[15:17] <cleaton> Sinlore_, http://www.cstrike-planet.com/files?dl=1
[15:17] <stefg> arang2: just wanted to make that clear. so what errors do you get ?

[15:19] <bitcrusher> please help me to find lsdj rom
[15:19] <RB2> Restarting X fixed the problem, but it's probably related to the fact that I had no video (HW problem) the first 2 times I booted today.
[15:19] <bulmer> stuart--> cat /etc/lsb-release
[15:19] <methods> does anyone have the ubuntu book ?
[15:19] <cleaton> sinisterben, i can't see the text or anything when i should write my account, and wine tells me to install wine gecko but i can't click yes :( and then it crashes :((

[15:20] <stefg> arang2: http://communities.vmware.com/thread/110186;jsessionid=264C64A550D09EE7F0FBB7386C6863D3?tstart=0 ... gutsy kernel isn't supported yet

[15:21] <bitcrusher> please help me to find lsdj rom for free
[15:21] <stefg> arang2: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware/Tools might help although
[15:22] <sinisterben> bitcrusher i think you are in the wrong chat area
[15:22] <arang2> stefg: thats not the errors i get ,and i also have been told that a patch might solve this problem ,others told me that they run gutsy as a guests under vmware server and workstation
[15:22] <Sinlore_> cleaton: You can't see anything because we don't have the correct font lol. I read about it last night.
[15:22] <cleaton> Sinlore_, "Steam requires the tahoma.ttf font. It is NOT included in the Microsoft core fonts package, so you have to get it separately.
[15:22] <cleaton> For example, google for "filetype:ttf inurl:tahoma", download it and put it into your ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts directory.
[15:22] <cleaton> "
[15:22] <bitcrusher> owkay sorry
[15:22] <cleaton> yeah found =)
[15:22] <cleaton> i need to get tahoma then xD
[15:22] <Archon_SD> Anyone know what might cause you to be unable to use Synaptic as anybody but root?
[15:22] <EdgEy> Archon_SD, isn't that default behavior
[15:23] <EdgEy> i can't run synaptic without root, even if you could you couldn't do much, maybe search for apps but not install?
[15:23] <Archon_SD> edggy:  It asks you for your sys-admin password to run the command and it never works when I use my user PW, but it will sudo outside X..
[15:23] <stefg> arang2: a.) you might ask in #vmware b.) probably you can d/l a premade and preinstalled image somewhere (with vm-tools already set up) .c.) what /exact/ errors do you get ?
[15:23] <EMH_Mark3> heya.. can anyone point me to a doc that explains in what format the wireless-key line in /etc/network/interfaces must be?
[15:23] <EdgEy> ah
[15:25] <Puaff> please, which package I have to install in order to get emacs? There are three or four packages and I don't know which is the last one
[15:25] <EMH_Mark3> specifically, I have a passphrase with spaces in it, and am wondering how I'm supposed to display that.
[15:25] <arang2> stefg: i cant copy/paste the errors cos there are a bunch , they seem like errors at compiling, second #vmware is not responsive, i dunno what to do
[15:25] <JonkoPaa> what gnome version is in ubuntu?
[15:25] <Archon_SD> EdgEy: Some kind of issue here where I cannot log in to GDM as anyone (including root) but can log into startx fine.  When in X, canńot use sudo, even from terminals, but can sudo outside X..  and cannot run any apps that require escalated privileges unless logged in as X...  never passing the security checks.
[15:25] <Sinlore_> cleaton: Mine is now working. =D
[15:25] <scent> join #ubuntu-th
[15:25] <jroes> what package provides the C standard library (stdio.h, etc.)?
[15:25] <sinisterben> EMH are you setting it in the file itself?
[15:25] <cleaton> Sinlore_, ok good =)
[15:26] <Archon_SD> EdgEy: I suspect something wrong in either PAM, or maybe something as simple as a file system flag set wrong.
[15:26] <Nicke> JonkoPaa: Ubuntu 7.10 uses Gnome 2.20.0
[15:26] <Archon_SD> EdgEy: But Google is not being my friend on this one.
[15:26] <EMH_Mark3> sinisterben: I'm setting it in the interfaces file, yes
[15:26] <compwiz18> EMH_Mark3, check out http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=318539 if it isn't answered, you can probably post and get a reply quickly

[15:31] <Creed> Im missing a lot of menu items from my System > Administration menu. How can I get these back?
[15:31] <axz> ubuntu
[15:31] <drgeb> I keep seeing this message: "can't open /var/log/ntpstats/peerstats.20071104: Operation not permitted" however the directory /var/log i have given everywone permission to write into it so how come? How can I solve this ?
[15:31] <bogus-> what processor
[15:31] <minerale> I did apt-get install apt-file, anow waiti and it's stuck at the "setting up" part of apt-get
[15:31] <stefg> arang2: "The image already comes with the current VMware Tools"
[15:31] <axz> AMD
[15:31] <Creed> drgeb, did you specify the recursive command with chown?
[15:32] <Creed> drgeb, the folder /var/log might have permission for everyone, but subfolders might still be restricted.
[15:32] <bogus-> if it's something like a amd64 it's no problem to install a i386 version
[15:32] <drgeb> the owner of ntpstats is ntp
[15:33] <Creed> drgeb, try changing it to everyone to see if it fixes it.
[15:33] <axz> bogus-, so it will work fine even beter because some thing arent working on 64x
[15:33] <Creed> drgeb, and change all files within it to everyone or just rm the existing log files.
[15:33] <bogus-> indeed
[15:33] <drgeb> ls -ald /var/log/ntpstats gives me drwxrwxrwx 2 ntp ntp 4096 2007-10-02 00:39
[15:34] <arang2> stefg: i already tested it, vmware tools is partially installed
[15:34] <bogus-> I run ubuntu i386 on my 64 bit intel laptop no problems
[15:34] <axz> nice thanks for info buddy
[15:34] <scottpc> I have a question that I haven't found in the help files yet.
[15:34] <drgeb> creed: the directory is right now empty also
[15:34] <bogus-> np
[15:34] <Lunar_Lamp> Has anyone else had problems on a fresh install of gutsy with permissions of dirs in their home directory being incorrect, so apps not saving settings on exit? I've noticed xchat and pidgin so far.
[15:34] <PriceChild> Lunar_Lamp, that won't have happenned unless you mess around with root/sudo
[15:35] <scottpc> I've got a machine that I switch hard drives on - one with XP and this one with Ubuntu.  I have an external USB Samba drive that I've left turned off when the Ubuntu drive is connected.  What do you think will happen if I turn it on under Ubuntu?
[15:36] <Lunar_Lamp> PriceChild, well, I haven't done that I'm aware of.  The only thing I can think of is that some of the config dirs were copied in by mistake from my backup.  It's not a big hassle, but still, not something that a complete noob to *nix could be expect to fix on their own :-/
[15:36] <PriceChild> Lunar_Lamp, probably copied using sudo then....
[15:36] <Lunar_Lamp> PriceChild, it's not the ownership of the dirs that's the issue, it's that they are not group read/writable.
[15:36] <PriceChild> Lunar_Lamp, ah well then just chmod them
[15:36] <craigo1> Anyone know how to fix a desktop where icons aren't appearing? I can't even right-click and get a menu. There's icons in the Desktop folder...
[15:37] <Lunar_Lamp> PriceChild, yeah, that's what I've been doing - but it's the kind of thing that would not be obvious to a new user, so I was wondering if it was a bug that I shoudl report.
[15:37] <jonasj> scottpc: what do you mean by "USB Samba drive"?
[15:37] <PriceChild> Lunar_Lamp, That's user error... you've copied backups back incorrectly and so things broke... that's not ubuntu's fault
[15:37] <samad909> I am having problems with gutsy installation, I am on windows and trying to install linux on some unallocated space and the install goes well but when it reaches configuring apt and after it asks for the http proxy and once the input is given, it stops responding...I tried cd integrity check and tried installing a couple of times but with no luck..
[15:37] <scottpc> It's a 250gb USB external HDD
[15:38] <Lunar_Lamp> PriceChild, no, but I didn't copy those directories back that I'm aware of :-/
[15:38] <jonasj> what do you mean by samba? is that the brand of harddrive or what?
[15:38] <scottpc> I've left the drive powered off while experimenting with Ubuntu
[15:38] <Lunar_Lamp> Never mind, it probably is just user error, but I can't remember copying them so was wondering if there was a known bug out there.
[15:38] <jonasj> scottpc: the easiest way to find out is to... turn it on. try it tell us what happened!
[15:38] <scottpc> It's a western digital drive, but it's been referred to as a "samba" volume
[15:39] <PriceChild> Lunar_Lamp, "The only thing I can think of is that some of the config dirs were copied in by mistake from my backup."
[15:39] <scottpc> lol - I need to back it up to something more stable first.  It's only one drive.
[15:39] <samad909> anyone?
[15:39] <scottpc> it works under XP - which gives me concern that it could be damaged if I go switching it between operating systems
[15:40] <sinisterben> What irc program do you guys use? I use bitchx and xchat is there anything better?
[15:40] <jonasj> scottpc: why don't you just try to turn it on?
[15:40] <scottpc> Just curious if anyone had come across that...
[15:40] <jonasj> scottpc: no, it's safe to try
[15:40] <jonasj> scottpc: where was it referred to as a samba volume?
[15:40] <EdgEy> huh?
[15:40] <Sinlore_> sinisterben: I'm using XChat. Didn't know of any other Linux based IRC programs.
[15:40] <EdgEy> you have an external usb hard drive you've never tried under ubuntu
[15:41] <bob__> hi - boson crashes when i start a game - is this a known bug?
[15:41] <bob__> on gutsy
[15:41] <EdgEy> there shouldn't be any concerb
[15:41] <scottpc> I think under properties when looking at it under XP
[15:41] <scottpc> I sound like such a noob!!!
[15:41] <EdgEy> it's just a hdd, it won't damage it :)
[15:41] <sinisterben> sinlore_ bitchx is nice if you like command line
[15:41] <Alp-> question to bash-scripting: how can i make an echo that writes its output to the screen AND to a logfile?
[15:41] <ruben> Hello, under linux how can I do fsck.ntfs or something to /dev/hda1 (windows) ?
[15:41] <scottpc> okay - here goes...
[15:41] <jonasj> scottpc: just turn it on. it's perfectly safe. and tell us what happened.
[15:41] <Burlynn> boom!
[15:41] <EdgEy> scottpc has quit IRC "broken pipe"
[15:41] <EdgEy> haha
[15:42] <jonasj> hahaha
[15:42] <stefg> ruben: no ntfs filechecking in Linux... you gotta use windows for that
[15:42] <bob__> Alp-: OUT=`echo hello" ; echo $OUT ; echo $OUT >> logfile
[15:42] <scottpc> lol
[15:42] <scottpc> it's there
[15:42] <scottpc> it's all there!!!
[15:42] <jonasj> scottpc: it works?
[15:42] <ruben> exists windows live CD or something?
[15:42] <EdgEy> the worst case is you can't write to it thats all
[15:42] <samad909> anyone know why the gutsy install is stuck on configuring apt
[15:42] <scottpc> wanna move your files away from XP to UBUNTU in a hurry?
[15:42] <Burlynn> ive got an external usb drive running fine under gutsy, no config or anything
[15:42] <EdgEy> not sure if ubuntu has ntfs write enabled yet normlly
[15:42] <samad909> brb
[15:42] <scottpc> Get an external hdd usb drive from western digital!!!
[15:42] <scottpc> wow
[15:43] <EdgEy> scottpc, lol, any external hdd would work like that... its just a storage device :P what were you expecting
[15:43] <jonasj> EdgEy: ntfs write support works out of the box in 7.10
[15:43] <EdgEy> jonasj, nice
[15:43] <Alp-> bob__: good idea, thanks
[15:43] <scottpc> with my luck, a meltdown
[15:43] <scottpc> lol - shows what windows guys expect - BSOD
[15:43] <john_ror> can anyone recommend a laptop brand/model? I'm shopping for a lower priced one
[15:43] <jonasj> john_ror: what country are you in?
[15:44] <scottpc> for those of you who haven't run bill's proprietary software in a while, that's the Blue Screen of Death!
[15:44] <Dan[Laptop]> Hi, I've just Upgraded to 7.10 and now my DNS settings aren't working
[15:44] <Dan[Laptop]> I've tried adding <IP_ADDRESS> and <IP_ADDRESS> in the Network settings which normally fixes this problem, but it's not working
[15:45] <jonasj> john_ror: what country are you in?
[15:46] <Dan[Laptop]> I think last time I had this problem I manually added the DNS server addresses to a file in /etc (I think it was the hosts file), but I don't know what to write in the file, and I can't search the internet because I can't get on any websites.
[15:46] <Dan[Laptop]> So I'm just wondering how I would add a DNS server into the hosts file
[15:46] <chazco> Can anyone point me to a changelog of network related changes between 7.04 and 7.10?  I can't seem to get any stream to play with it.
[15:47] <john_ror> california, usa
[15:47] <Dan[Laptop]> ah okay.
[15:47] <jonasj> john_ror: check out http://www.system76.com then
[15:47] <Alp-> bob__: but there is a problem. if for example svn add * produces output.. can i use this? OUT = "svn add *"; echo $OUT; echo $OUT >> logfile
[15:47] <john_ror> I'm tempted by the $500 laptops
[15:48] <Dan[Laptop]> Hmm. Those DNS addresses I want to use are already in there.
[15:48] <Dan[Laptop]> However, I can only access websites by their IP addresses, not their URL's
[15:48] <Dan[Laptop]> Does anyone have an idea what could be wrong, and how I could fix it/
[15:48] <Kklown> Hello, i m here to get some help, i 'm using amarok (for example) and in the launcher properties there an option %u. where can i find theses options (a list or somethink) and the what they used for? thanks for help
[15:48] <bulmer> Dan[Laptop]-> whats in your /etc/nsswitch.conf ?
[15:48] <Dan[Laptop]> second
[15:49] <VSpike> ugh - dozen and dozens of illegal block errors from fsck :/
[15:49] <VSpike> i got a bad feeling about this
[15:49] <Dan[Laptop]> There's various things in there, bulmer
[15:49] <Dan[Laptop]> Anything in particular?
[15:49] <Dan[Laptop]> passwd, group and shadow are all set to "compat"
[15:50] <bulmer> Dan[Laptop]-> hosts ?
[15:50] <bulmer> Dan[Laptop]-> hosts ? also networks?
[15:50] <Dan[Laptop]> hosts is "files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4"
[15:50] <VSpike> now lots of "Multiply-claimed block(s) in inode" on the second pass
[15:50] <Dan[Laptop]> networks is "files"
[15:50] <arijus> hello
[15:51] <VSpike> could the drive be fubared?
[15:51] <arijus> is here anybody who could help me with unraring an archive?
[15:51] <phuzion> Hey, I'm updating to 6.10, and my computer froze in the middle of the "Cleaning Up" step.  What should I do?
[15:51] <viktor_> where does pidgin saves its saved dialogues?
[15:51] <scottpc> thank you for the added confidence to try that!!!
[15:51] <bulmer> Dan[Laptop]-> thats seems okay, i dont know if there is a difference between mdns and mdns4_minimal  that could possibly be causing issues
[15:51] <scottpc> worked like a charm
[15:51] <phuzion> ajirus: sudo apt-get install unrar
[15:51] <VSpike> arijus: tried "unrar <archive>" ?
[15:51] <arijus> Vspike: i tried
[15:51] <stefg> john_ror: cheap hardware and linux usually don't go along too well. and those cheapos tend to just fall apart after a year of daily usage. See http://www.linux-laptop.net/
[15:51] <Dan[Laptop]> I'll see what changing it to mdns4 does.
[15:51] <thejusticecow> anyone know the buttons to use the moving cube effect with compiz?
[15:51] <Dan[Laptop]> Will I need to restart or anything after writing to the file?
[15:51] <arijus> i was in other channel and i got a direction to ask about multiverse
[15:51] <VSpike> arijus: did it tell you unrar not install?
[15:52] <arijus> cause unrar-free doesn work for me
[15:52] <phuzion> arijus: you will need to enable multiverse in your /etc/apt/sources.list file
[15:52] <arijus> phuzion: how can i do that?
[15:52] <phuzion> just take out the # before each line that mentions multiverse
[15:52] <phuzion> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources/list
[15:52] <phuzion> sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list i should say
[15:53] <osxdude> Yes, phuzion
[15:53] <VSpike> Anyone tell me what I should answer to this one? http://pastebin.com/m714f6669
[15:53] <Nikosssss> what happend with ubuntu forum??
[15:54] <phuzion> anyone know how to disable showing joins and parts in irssi?
[15:54] <jonasj> arijus: you can also just do  'sudo software-properties-gtk -e multiverse'
[15:54] <coldboot> Does anyone know of some recovery software for Linux that can get data off a partition with a toasted file system?
[15:54] <jonasj> arijus: to enable it
[15:54] <bobjr777> I am having a problem with lshw. When it is run it make the computer stop responding to everything and has to be hard-rebooted. Ever since it was first run i cant boot into normal mode i have to go into recovery.
[15:54] <EdgEy> coldboot google for header extraction tools
[15:55] <EdgEy> i can't remember what i used a while ago but it searched for say jpeg, doc, etc headers in filesystems
[15:55] <EdgEy> got me some of my photos back, usually fragmentation fucked them up thouh
[15:55] <coldboot> EdgEy: It's coming upwith tcp/ip headers
[15:55] <VSpike> phuzion: /ignore #ubuntu JOIS PARTS
[15:55] <Dan2552> how do i add the user "dan" to  the "vboxusers" group?
[15:55] <VSpike> phuzion: /ignore #ubuntu JOIS PARi think
[15:55] <stefg> VSpike: yes, just say yes, as is the default. Next step is to perform a fsck on that drive. If it's the root drive (so you can't unmount) run sudo touch /forcefsck and reboot
[15:55] <VSpike> phuzion: sorry, massive keylag
[15:55] <EdgEy> wish i could remember what i used, i deleted a partition and made a new one on top of it
[15:56] <VSpike> phuzion: /ignore #ubuntu JOINS PARTS
[15:56] <EdgEy> dumped that area of the hdd and threw it in a tool and it got me some data back, mostly useless though
[15:56] <phuzion> hmm, someone hop real quick please
[15:56] <phuzion> and tell me when you're back
[15:56] <EdgEy> if you lost the file allocation table you won't get much really :/
[15:56] <VSpike> phuzion: seems to work for me :)
[15:56] <VSpike> oh .. maybe not
[15:56] <phuzion> those are't parts
[15:56] <phuzion> they're quits
[15:56] <phuzion> different IRC term
[15:57] <EdgEy> just /cycled
[15:57] <arijus> ok, i think i have done with multiverse
[15:57] <phuzion> yeah, I didn't see it
[15:57] <EdgEy> nice
[15:57] <phuzion> Thanks VSpike
[15:57] <Dan2552> how do i add the user "dan" to  the "vboxusers" group?
[15:57] <phuzion> In a channel with this many people, it's sorta necessary to disable seeing joins and parts
[15:57] <VSpike> stefg: I'm fscking from a live cd.. and yeah, that is the root partition :(
[15:57] <arijus> what command should i use now for unraring?
[15:57] <stefg> VSpike: luckily it'
[15:57] <coldboot> EdgEy: Would you be able to help me find it. You'll have a memory cue, so you'll recognize it when you come across a close enough page...
[15:57] <jatt> unrar
[15:57] <bobjr777> I am having a problem with lshw. When it is run it make the computer stop responding to everything and has to be hard-rebooted. Ever since it was first run i cant boot into normal mode i have to go into recovery.
[15:57] <phuzion> arijus: did you enable multiverse?
[15:58] <arijus> phuzion: yes. with sudo software-properties-gtk -e multiverse command
[15:58] <phuzion> did you install the "unrar" package?
[15:58] <stefg> VSpike: luckily it's just an unimportant logfile that's affected
[15:58] <VSpike> stefg: there are lots more of them :(
[15:58] <stefg> uhoh
[15:58] <cappiz> someone here having problems with "show desktop" and compiz (using gutsy)
[15:59] <arijus> phuzion: if i try to install unrar i get an error that package "unrar" has no installation candidate
[15:59] <phuzion> hmm
[15:59] <stefg> !rar
[15:59] <ubotu> rar is a non-free archive format created by Rarsoft. For instructions on accessing .rar files through the Archive Manager view https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression. There is a free (as in speech) unrar utility as well, see !info unrar-free
[15:59] <VSpike> stefg: these are just the latest in a looong list of errors

[15:59] <cappiz> je je je
[15:59] <phuzion> going from 6.06 to 7.04
[16:00] <VSpike> stefg: now i'm onto Entry blah has deleted/unused inode.. clear?
[16:00] <coldboot> EdgEy: Is there a way to get a file listing? I can't even remember what's on the drive...
[16:00] <stefg> VSpike: so something must have devastated the filesystem.... i'd get smartmon-tools and check if the drive is about to die
[16:00] <phuzion> i'm out
[16:00] <stefg> VSpike: usually the defaults are safe
[16:00] <jonasj> arijus: do this:    sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install unrar
[16:00] <qetuR> what kind of torrent client should i use with Ubuntu GG? My azuerus stoped working
[16:00] <arijus> jonasj: trying
[16:01] <vleon_> its a xubuntuon but in #xubuntu there seems to be no one to answer, so here goes:
[16:01] <rsk> qetuR: rtorrent
[16:01] <VSpike> stefg: now it's complaining about block bitmap differences
[16:01] <vleon_> i have a simple question for general knowledge, i remember xfce in general and xubuntu as a single case, that there was no gui tool for resolution changing, and im rather shure that at least in 6.10 there was no tool but there i downloaded xfce 6.04 to use as a medium to to install gentoo on an old pentium3 and it gave me a crappy resolution, and there i find a gui tool O_O, was it backported cause its an LTS?
[16:01] <qetuR> rsk, isnt rtorrent consolebased?
[16:01] <VSpike> stefg: free blocks counts wrong
[16:01] <rsk> it is
[16:01] <Kklown> does someone know how to get and know options like %u in amarok ?
[16:01] <VSpike> stefg: ever get a strong sense of impending doom?
[16:02] <cleaton> Kklown, man amorak ?
[16:02] <Kklown> it is not inside man & help
[16:02] <slain> hi all
[16:02] <NetworX> can someone please help me with a problem with my acer notebook and ubuntu
[16:02] <cleaton> Kklown, have you checked their site?
[16:02] <NetworX> problem is the wlan adapt
[16:02] <NetworX> first of all the atheros driver
[16:03] <stefg> VSpike: if i were you i'd take a file backup of the drive to some safe place, reformat and restore. that makes sure that the filesystem is consistent. you might have had a headcrash, and some badblocks as consequence. see smartmon-tools and man badblocks
[16:03] <arijus> jonasj: thanks man, that put a lot of effort from me, and you helped me just with two command lines :)
[16:03] <arijus> jonasj: thanks really
[16:03] <Kklown> they say to come here, that's why
[16:03] <slain> I have two network cards. I would like to set the gateway for eth0, NB. I do not want to set the default gateway
[16:03] <jonasj> arijus: :-)
[16:04] <slain> can any one help me with my problem?
[16:04] <jonasj> arijus: now that unrar is installed, the graphical archive manager should be able to extract rar files as well
[16:04] <wad> Can anyone point me to a tutorial to install the Flash player? My google searches aren't leading me in the right direction.
[16:04] <ItchyHobo> wad, ubuntu?
[16:04] <wad> Yeah, just installed Gutsy Gibbon.
[16:04] <arijus> jonasj: yes graphical interface is working :)
[16:04] <paolo_3> salut
[16:05] <paolo_3> french or english langage?
[16:05] <stefg> !flash | wad
[16:05] <ubotu> wad: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - Flash 9 is now available in dapper-backports and edgy-backports - See also !Restricted and !Gnash
[16:05] <slain> wad: flashplugin-nonfree
[16:05] <ItchyHobo> wad open synaptic manager
[16:05] <slain> wad: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[16:05] <jonasj> wad: are you using ubuntu 7.10? it should offer to install it for you automatically when you visit a page that wants it
[16:05] <ItchyHobo> wad, that is more direct from the terminal
[16:06] <Montego> Does anyone know how to get Konqueror to use Ktorrent for the default program for torrent files?
[16:06] <wad> Ok, I am reading all of the replies, thanks, I will read what you have posted and try from there. :)
[16:06] <slain> ok, please I need help
[16:06] <Phuzion> Ok, can ANYONE think of a possible way to upgrade from 5.04 without using a CD?
[16:07] <Lunar_Lamp> Phuzion, do you have internet access on the machine?
[16:07] <VSpike> stefg: when i try to enable smart on the drive it says "unable to fetch IEC (SMART) mode page [unsupported field in scsi command]"
[16:07] <ItchyHobo> Phuzion, use a dvd ;)
[16:07] <Phuzion> Lunar_Lamp, of course
[16:07] <stefg> slain: man ifconfig or man iptables might be what you need
[16:07] <Phuzion> ItchyHobo, Har har har i'm dying here
[16:07] <rsk> Phuzion: just upgrade 5.04 > 6.06> 6.10 > 7.10
[16:07] <Phuzion> rsk: you see, that's the problem.  the mirrors don't seem to have 5.04 files anymore
[16:07] <slain> stefg: ok, I will try
[16:07] <rsk> ah.
[16:08] <ItchyHobo> Phuzion is right only one version update is on the servers
[16:08] <EdgEy> can you not somehow run the livecd from a partition
[16:08] <EdgEy> and then install from there
