[04:31] <Kohlrak> i thought dri was enabled in fglrx... no wonder there's a flicker...
[04:32] <LSD|Ninja> Joeseph: sorry, /Workgroup/Computer/Share
[04:32] <Paro[Away]> dri is enabled in fglrx, it's that the fglrx driver is really crappy
[04:32] <Joeseph> usser, LSD|Ninja: So I'll download the driver, enter in that magic line, and come back to you.
[04:32] <usser> Joeseph, no need to download ubuntu has it built in
[04:32] <Paro[Away]> Kohlrak: if you ever want to check: 'glxinfo | grep direct'
[04:32] <usser> Joeseph, is the printer a hewlet packard?
[04:33] <Kohlrak> Paro[Away]Alright, let's see what we can do with this tehn.
[04:33] <Joeseph> yes
[04:33] <kraypius> is anyone else using the built in volume enctyption?
[04:33] <usser> guesswho, yea i can see the point but can do all that with snapshots.
[04:33] <kraypius> encryption*
[04:33] <Omoikane_> Anyone know much about getting drawing tablets to work in ubuntu?
[04:33] <LSD|Ninja> kraypius: I don't bother with that tinfoil hat stuff
[04:33] <guesswho> usser; i have not learn about snapshots yet
[04:33] <Joeseph> usser: I'll type in that line using your way. it's the line I'm having trouble with now.
[04:33] <monofuel> how can i set it up in ubuntu to for my xbox 360 to be plugged in to my computer's ethernet port, and let it use my wireless internet connection?
[04:33] <kraypius> LSD|Ninja, heh maybe because you dont have a reason to
[04:33] <LSD|Ninja> Joeseph: Hang five, I'm checking what I use for my Brotehr laser
[04:33] <Paro[Away]> Omoikane: what kind of tablet do you have and what version of ubuntu are you running?
[04:34] <usser> guesswho, virtualbox allows you to take a snapshot of a VM once its setup, and every time u power it on its gonna start from exact state it was when u took the snapshot
[04:34] <LSD|Ninja> kraypius: I find most people who are using stuff like that don't ;)
[04:34] <usser> Joeseph, are u sure the printer is shared on vista? can u see it using that browse button?
[04:34] <guesswho> usser; very nice :) im likeing ubuntu better then windows every day
[04:34] <Omoikane> Para[away] Bamboo fun small tablet and I'm running hardy
[04:34] <Joeseph> usser: I cannot see it with the browse button, but I can print from my vista laptop to it.
[04:34] <usser> guesswho, :)
[04:35] <greendot> my friend is installing Ubuntu and he keeps getting an ata revalidation error when trying to install, and he also gets a green screen if it finally boots up.  what do we do about this issue?
[04:35] <usser> Joeseph, the printer is connected to the laptop? using usb cable?
[04:35] <usser> Joeseph, whats the general setup?
[04:35] <kraypius> LSD|Ninja, i can tell you with absolute certainty that I do need it. On that note, any idea what algorithm it uses?
[04:35] <guesswho> monofuel; i dont think xbox360 will work very well with ubuntu considering it is a microsoft product
[04:35] <kraypius> aes im assuming?
[04:35] <Paro[Away]> Omoikane: bamboo is a wacom tablet, right?
[04:35] <LSD|Ninja> usser: There's nothing wrong with the share, Ubuntu's SMB client is just broken
[04:35] <usser> LSD|Ninja, smb client works just fine
[04:35] <Omoikane> Para[away] yeah
[04:35] <monofuel> i'm sure i could let it use the internet connection right?
[04:35] <SeaPhor> Ubuntu kicks windows A---Bu---out the door/ to the curb!
[04:35] <kraypius> there are no options to choose algorithm or hash type
[04:36] <AdrianStrays> Can anyone tell me what the windows channel is?
[04:36] <Joeseph> usser: My vista pc acts as as the 'server' and a normal desktop to.  A networked laptop using vista can print from it. I file share from ubuntu off of it.
[04:36] <LSD|Ninja> usser: I'm familiar with the issue he's having as I see it myself all the time
[04:36] <Paro[Away]> Omoikane: the tablet should just work under hardy. plug it in while the machine's off, start things up and all should be well
[04:36] <svensk1> can someone tell me what the ubuntu equivilant to /.xinitrc is?
[04:36] <monofuel> i'll never pay 100$ for that stupid wireless connector for the 360
[04:36] <guesswho> AdrianStrays: lol not in the ubuntu irc server :)
[04:36] <LSD|Ninja> usser: You won't see any shares even though you know they're there. Only way to access the shares is by entering the name into the address bar
[04:36] <usser> LSD|Ninja, oh...
[04:36] <LSD|Ninja> usser: It's a client issue, not a server one
[04:37] <legend2440> Omoikane   http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=765915
[04:37] <Omoikane> Para[away] it's not.
[04:37] <usser> LSD|Ninja, no no no thats something else
[04:37] <guesswho> monofuel; there is a article on my website that shows you how to hook it up wireless for free on my website www.live-xbox360.com
[04:37] <svensk1> can someone tell me what the ubuntu equivilant to /.xinitrc is?
[04:37] <usser> LSD|Ninja, thats a gnome gvfs bug, its a known thing but it has nothing to do with the printers
[04:37] <simon_sk8> hola conchasumacdress
[04:37] <LSD|Ninja> usser: I know, that's what I'm getting at
[04:37] <monofuel> thx i'll check that out
[04:37] <Paro[Away]> monofuel: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/sharing-internet-connection-in-ubuntu.html
[04:37] <Joeseph> If anyone has a printer shared, could they possibly share their 'smb' line?  you can put in fake variable words to make it easier.
[04:37] <LSD|Ninja> usser: He's already said otehr machines can see and print just fine
[04:37] <greendot> my friend is installing Ubuntu and he keeps getting an ata revalidation error when trying to install, and he also gets a green screen if it finally boots up.  what do we do about this issue?
[04:38] <LSD|Ninja> Joeseph: I'm digging for mine right now
[04:38] <simon_sk8> spanish ??
[04:38] <monofuel> i'll check that out too
[04:38] <simon_sk8> fuck me
[04:38] <Paro[Away]> Omoikane: well, i tried T.T that link of legend's should help ;)
[04:38] <simon_sk8> ajajja

[04:38] <simon_sk8> thank
[04:38] <simon_sk8> chet
[04:38] <simon_sk8> jajaj
[04:38] <usser> Joeseph, u just have to know the shared name of the printer cause the one that vista shows in printers and faxes is something else
[04:39] <guesswho> simon_sk8; no problemo amigo
[04:39] <svensk1> can someone tell me what the ubuntu equivilant to /.xinitrc is?
[04:39] <LSD|Ninja> Joeseph: smb:///username:password@computer/Printer f the share has a password attached
[04:39] <Joeseph> usser: I'll go check to make sure I have the 'shared' name  I may just have the normal name.
[04:40] <usser> Joeseph, yea right click on it theres gotta be something like sharing and security, i dont remember exact phrasing
[04:40] <svensk1> can someone tell me what the ubuntu equivilant to /.xinitrc is?
[04:40] <SeaPhor> svensk1, if i had to guess it would be rc.local
[04:40] <platyhelminth_> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lqKkjx-_OjE
[04:40] <LSD|Ninja> svensk1: ~/.xinitrc ;)
[04:40] <Xpistos> can anyone help me turning vob files into avi in ubuntu
[04:40] <Omoikane> Para[away] thanks
[04:41] <svensk1> LSD|Ninja: does it need to be copying from somewhere?
[04:41] <Paro[Away]> LSD|Ninja: if you use gdm, xinit isn't called and I don't think .xinitrc is read...
[04:41]  * usser isnt it .xsession or something?
[04:41] <LSD|Ninja> Paro[Away]: I was just about to get to that
[04:41] <guesswho> any idea on how i can change it from going to quanta everytime i click on a link in irc to goto firefox?
[04:41] <svensk1> i believe i'll be using gdm, but i'll be running awesome window manager
[04:41] <Paro[Away]> Ah, super ^.^
[04:41] <De[X]tone> afternoon guys...
[04:42] <Paro[Away]> Evening, dextone
[04:42] <svensk1> i quite frankly can't stand gnome for anything beyond IRC and updating

[04:42] <usser> night, dexton
[04:42] <dextone> what's new guys ?

[04:42] <FAJALOU> friend trying to mount a corrupted ntfs HDD, how can he do it?
[04:43] <Paro[Away]> ... It's several hours later than the last time I was awake? o.O
[04:43] <Xpistos> vobs are huge and segmented. I want to join them into one nice package and since I am only viewing them at a small res it is worht it
[04:43] <m0u5e> FAJALOU: try using ntfs-progs to ntfsfix his harddrive
[04:43] <m0u5e> FAJALOU: if that doesnt work, you might need to boot into windows to run a chkdsk before you can mount it in linux
[04:43] <FAJALOU> m0u5e: tried ntfsfix, and he can't boot to windows, (virus)
[04:43] <phantomcircuit> FAJALOU, sleuthkit, but that's far more advanced
[04:43] <usser> Joeseph, put a tick at authentification required and enter username and password there
[04:44] <m0u5e> FAJALOU: does he have a windows cd? he can boot into automated recovery if he does
[04:44] <simon_sk8> maricas
[04:44] <unop> FAJALOU, chkdsk in windows safe mode
[04:45] <usser> FAJALOU, as a last resort u can force mount it man ntfs-3g /dev/sd[] /mnt -o force
[04:45] <FAJALOU> unop:  he cannot access windows
[04:45] <m0u5e> FAJALOU: it wont matter, as long as he has a cd he can boot into Automated recovery
[04:45] <Xpistos> FAJALOU nah, unop is right. run the chkdsk /f /r

[04:46] <platyhelminth_> guesswho no i just found it in youtube
[04:46] <fsloke> I facing a problem
[04:46] <Paro[Away]> hi fsloke
[04:46] <m0u5e> Xpistos: try avidemux or mkvtoolnix?
[04:46] <master_>  FAJALOU, as a last resort u can force mount it man ntfs-3g /dev/sd[] /mnt -o force
[04:46] <unop> FAJALOU, well, only the windows tools can reliably restore the volume .. so you might want to investigate more on this in ##windows
[04:46] <Joeseph> LSD|Ninja, usser: Odd..... it said it wasn't shared on my vista pc, even though I can print on it off my vista laptop..... so I shared it, and it seems to be working a bit better now.
[04:47] <fsloke> I installed the libtiff using Synaptic Package Manager
[04:47] <usser> Joeseph, you and your super secure vista ways :_
[04:47] <Xpistos> mOu5e: Thanks. I only have a few I need to move anyway
[04:47] <fsloke> but I don't where the lib is located
[04:47] <pajamian> AdrianStrays: the only advice for that problem that you'll be able to get in here is to download the ubuntu live CD and install ubuntu.
[04:47] <usser> Joeseph, so does it print from ubuntu?
[04:47] <master_> ı need vdr help pls
[04:47] <m0u5e> Xpistos: no problem (theres a few more, but in my experience, video editting hasn't been a very fun experience for me linux, so good luck)
[04:47] <amanulla> hiiiiiiii
[04:48] <Joeseph> usser: I've added it now, I'm about to test it...... but it's not my vista computer....
[04:48] <FAJALOU> master_  when i tried this with :  sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdc /mount/Window_Corrupt -o force     it said that:  Maybe you selected the wrong device? Or the whole disk instead of a partition (e.g. /dev/hda, not /dev/hda1)? Or the other way around?
[04:48] <Paro[Away]> fsloke: why do you need to know where the lib files are? (probably in /usr/lib...)
[04:48] <LSD|Ninja> Joeseph: sounds like a permissions issue then
[04:48] <fsloke> bcs my application need the lib file....
[04:48] <fsloke> TIFFINC=/usr/include
[04:48] <fsloke> LIBTIFF=-L/usr/lib -ltiff
[04:48] <usser> FAJALOU, you have to select a partition is /dev/sdc1 or whatever number corresponds to your windows partition
[04:48] <amanulla> i have a small problem can any body help me..........
[04:49] <usser> FAJALOU, err ie /dev/sdc1
[04:49] <svensk1> does anyone else here have an issue with firefox freezing? i have ubuntu on 3 computers and all three have had issues with firefox freezing
[04:49] <pajamian> !ask amanulla
[04:49] <fsloke> but it look like didn't works..
[04:49] <pajamian> !ask | amanulla
[04:49] <fsloke> I go in usr/include
[04:49] <fsloke> but didn't found the libtiff.h
[04:49] <usser> svensk1, its the flashplayer
[04:49] <usser> svensk1, uninstall it and you'll be one happy chap
[04:49] <amanulla> i have been using xp+linux(ubuntu 7 )2 months back
[04:49] <svensk1> even when i'm not on pages that are using flash?
[04:50] <Paro[Away]> fsloke, you've installed libtiff4-dev, too, right?
[04:50] <amanulla> i cant configure internet connection over there
[04:50] <svensk1> is there a reasonable solution to the flash player?
[04:50] <usser> svensk1, are u sure there arent any animated banners on those pages?
[04:50] <usser> svensk1, as of now, probably not, flash support sucks on linux
[04:50] <svensk1> usser: it also seems like after it freezes and i force quit that it refuses to open again
[04:50] <Joeseph> Anyway, I seem to have it installed, but it gives me an error when I print.  I'll have to figure this out at a later time.  Thanks for the help though.
[04:51] <Paro[Away]> amanulla: where can't you configure the internet connection?
[04:51] <svensk1> is that another common symptom?
[04:51] <amanulla> i recently installed ubuntu 8 in xp as an application programme as this option was provided
[04:51] <usser> svensk1, even if u force quit it, it still runs in the background u have to do killall -9 firefox-bin to completely kill it
[04:52] <fsloke> no
[04:52] <FAJALOU> so my friend is half way to getting this to work, but it says that the mountpoint doesn't exist for ntfs-3g...
[04:52] <usser> FAJALOU, it probably doesnt use /mnt
[04:52] <unop> FAJALOU, and how is he trying to mount this device now?
[04:52] <amanulla> but when ever i logged in ubuntu 8 my screen brightness being at a minimum level so i have to manullay adjust it to maximum level
[04:53] <usser> FAJALOU, as a mount point
[04:53] <Xpistos> m0u5e: Good looking out brother avidemux is a winner!
[04:53] <amanulla> can any one find a solution pleaseeeeeee
[04:53] <FAJALOU> unop:  usser:    sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mount/Window_Corrupt -o force
[04:53] <Kalamansi> hello :) is there a converter for mp4 to avi? :)
[04:53] <usser> FAJALOU, sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt -o force
[04:53] <usser> Kalamansi, mencoder, ffmpeg
[04:53] <green_and_high_o> ntfs-3g should not need sudo
[04:54] <green_and_high_o> I would recommend using pmount for mounting anything as user
[04:54] <Kalamansi> usser : sudo apt-get install mencoder?
[04:54] <unop> FAJALOU, he's got the command all wrong
[04:54] <amanulla> any one willing to solve my problemmmmm?
[04:54] <neilvaage> Hmmm.. wonder what is causing this 3D corruption when running Hardy on EEE 900. Not sure what dependencies I have messed up :D
[04:54] <Kalamansi> usser : same also to sudo apt-get install ffmpeg?
[04:54] <FAJALOU> unop:  when he plugged in that command it went through successfully
[04:54] <usser> Kalamansi, yes but ffmpeg is command-line utility that has some learning curve to it
[04:55] <Kalamansi> usser : is the a prorgram for desktop?
[04:55] <FAJALOU> unop:  so where can his drive now?
[04:55] <Kalamansi> usser : im not good in command-line...
[04:55] <unop> FAJALOU, use mount to find out
[04:55] <usser> Kalamansi, mencoder but i've never used it
[04:55] <amanulla> heeyyyyyyyyy any one there
[04:55] <FAJALOU> unop:  just type in mount?
[04:55] <unop> FAJALOU, yes
[04:55] <usser> FAJALOU, its in /mnt
[04:55] <Paro[Away]> amanulla: you installed ubuntu inside of a windows partition using wubi?
[04:56] <neilvaage> There sure is amanulla ;)
[04:56] <FAJALOU> ok
[04:56] <Kalamansi> usser thanks :) ill use mencoder
[04:56] <unop> usser, i shouldn't think so .. there's nothing in his command to indicate it would be mounted under /mnt
[04:56] <amanulla> ya in ubuntu 8 that option was given and i installed it
[04:56] <amanulla> im working it with same
[04:56] <amanulla> but problem is
[04:56] <usser> unop, ehm <usser> FAJALOU, sudo ntfs-3g /dev/sdc1 /mnt -o force

[04:57] <unop> usser, i only see your suggestion to him.
[04:57] <fsloke> Yes, ok already
[04:58] <neilvaage> Anyone got any tips for and apt-get installs for fixing flickering while running 3D like UrbanTerror/Cedega games? Also seem to affect the 3D function of Chess, flickers between 2D and 3D view.
[04:58] <fsloke> Thank a lot!!!
[04:58] <amanulla> im totally confused over here

[04:59] <neilvaage> It's not like i expect wonders from a 915GM chipset
[04:59] <neilvaage> But I am sure I might have missed some fixability
[05:00] <jrican> how can i install macromedia flash player in ubuntu
[05:00] <carandraug> neilvaage: you're using compiz?
[05:00] <SitUbuntuSit> sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
[05:00] <usser> jrican, sudo apt-get install flasplugin-nonfree
[05:00] <neilvaage> Yeah, compiz runs fine though
[05:00] <jkatana> I'm new to linux, and I'm looking for an ide for most languages in web development(html,css,javascript,php), anyone have any suggestions?
[05:01] <jrican> ok thx
[05:01] <amanulla> im workin with windows..........
[05:01] <jkatana> basically, anything with decent syntax highlighting is good enough for me
[05:02] <SitUbuntuSit> !patience | amanulla
[05:02] <neilvaage> I've always just loved coding websites in a notepad, so not really sure jkatana.
[05:02] <usser> jkatana, try kate
[05:02] <carandraug> neilvaage: yea, still compiz can be quite the performance killer. Try running in a terminal "metacity --replace &"
[05:02] <SeveredCross> Or press Alt-F2 and run metacity --replace.
[05:02] <SeveredCross> There's not a need for a terminal for everything. ;)
[05:03] <neilvaage> Yeah was thinking that too, but would really prefer having the eyecandy ;D
[05:03] <FAJALOU> unop, usser:  it worked thank you
[05:03] <Kalamansi> usser : i dont see the mencoder in Applications, Places even in System...
[05:03] <jkatana> ok, I also heard about 'vim', I tried it once and got bamboozled until I closed it, I heard it could be used for an ide, does it support syntax highlighting?
[05:03] <carandraug> neilvaage: once you're done playing, you can go back to compiz with the command "compiz --replace &" It has worked for me and some other people with tha problem before
[05:03] <jgiorgi> is there a way to run ubuntu live from a hard drive partition? im having problems in windows with my burning and my bios doesnt support usb flashdrives
[05:03] <neilvaage> I just find it strange how Chess when putting it in 3D View starts flickering between 2D and 3D mode, like it can't decide.
[05:04] <kraypius> im having a problem. i just did a fresh install and now after the ubuntu loading screen there is just a blinking cursor that seems will never end

[05:05] <neff1205> im having trouble getting my sound to work on my p105 Toshiba satellite, i've tried many solutions, but none seem to work, any suggestions?
[05:05] <jrican> does ubuntu supports AWLL6070 (wifi adapter)?
[05:05] <G3N0> anyone here familiar with kismet?
[05:05] <carandraug> neilvaage: I don't know any workaround other than that. Give it a try just to make sure if would solve. You can easily come back to compiz anytime with that command,
[05:05] <neilvaage> Yeah I know, use the --replace quite a bit, but it doesn
[05:06] <amanulla>  im having a problem. i just did a fresh install and now after the ubuntu 8 logged in my screen brightness is being decreased

[05:06] <amanulla>  im having a problem. i just did a fresh install and now after the ubuntu 8 logged in my screen brightness is being decreased
[05:06] <neilvaage> Must be something with my drivers or dependencies somewhere I guess.

[05:08] <amanulla> i knows nothing about ubuntu i m new to ubuntu
[05:08] <neilvaage> Terminal
[05:08] <amanulla> k
[05:08] <amanulla> ok
[05:09] <neilvaage> "Default" shortcut is Ctrl+Alt+t
[05:09] <pajamian> !terminal | amanulla
 shall i type the same "sudo setpci -s 00:02.1 f4.b=ff"
[05:09] <jordo2323> What was the package in Ubuntu with divx and xvid codecs in it...
[05:09] <jordo2323> I think it was a larger meta package
[05:09] <usser> Kalamansi, http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=9884
[05:09] <amanulla> ok
[05:10] <neilvaage> You can try it amanulla, but like i said, not sure if your chipset works for that.
[05:10] <jordo2323> !divx
[05:10] <usser> Kalamansi, get the package for debian sid it should work
[05:10] <Kalamansi> usser : im using gnome
[05:10] <jrican> it doesnt support it
[05:10] <jrican> dam
[05:11] <AeronTS> is Firefox 3 worth the install?
[05:11] <neff1205> no
[05:11] <kitche> AeronTS: depends if you like the "Awesome" bar or not really
[05:11] <pajamian> AeronTS: that's a very subjective question
[05:11] <AeronTS> *i really wish Mozilla would make it so that all themes will work just as well with newer versions of Firefox
[05:12] <svensk1> is flashplugin-nonfree what causes the firefox freezing?
[05:12] <AeronTS> kitche: where is the awesome bar?
[05:12] <neilvaage> Hasn't frozen for me yet svensken
[05:12] <pajamian> AeronTS: it's the locaton bar
[05:13] <usser> Kalamansi, im sorry i just never used any gui for video encoding, but konverter looks pretty good. u dont have to install whole of kde to use it
[05:13] <AeronTS> that awesome bar doesn't seem that good to me
[05:13] <usser> AeronTS, u cant miss the awesome bar
 i have typed the same it responds like this in terminal
[05:14] <amanulla> amanulla@amanulla-laptop:~$ sudo setpci -s 00:02.1 f4.b=ff
[05:14] <amanulla> [sudo] password for amanulla:

[05:14] <FloodBot1> amanulla: Please don't flood, use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste, don't use Enter as punctuation.
[05:14] <amanulla> sorry
[05:14] <neilvaage> If it does't work, your chipset didn't support it.
[05:15] <neilvaage> Probably because I used it on a intel chipset and you got something else.
[05:15] <kraypius> i need some help guys.. it seems the encrypted volume install doesnt work so good. during boot I get a blinking cursor after the loading screen that lasts forever. upon doing ctrl alt f1 i get : setting up cryptographic volume sdb5_crypt
[05:15] <murlidhar> how to autostart applications in openbox sessions
[05:15] <amanulla> mines is a intel core 2 duo processor
[05:15] <pajamian> amanulla: that has nothing to do with what video chipset you have.
[05:15] <amanulla> any how i will restart system to see
[05:15] <kraypius> i cant boot!!!
[05:16] <neilvaage> I meant graphics chipset :)
[05:16] <murlidhar> how to autostart applications in openbox sessions
[05:16] <eatatjoes> does anyone know what needs to be disabled to make 8.04 not use so many resources (7.10 didnt seem to use as many)
[05:16] <neilvaage> Can remove BT, Printers etc. if you don't use those
[05:16] <amanulla> how to know what graphics chipset
[05:16] <amanulla> is mines
[05:17] <Kalamansi> thanks ussher
[05:17] <pajamian> eatatjoes: the main resource hog in 8.04 seems to be FF3
[05:17] <unop> murlidhar, you might have a ~/.openbox/startup file
[05:17] <neff1205> is there anyway to get someone to remote view my laptop and solve the problem that way?
[05:17] <eatatjoes> pajamian, even w/o firefox 3 open it seems to be using more resources
[05:17] <pajamian> eatatjoes: I can't argue with that, that just seems to be the main one, imo.
[05:17] <neilvaage> neff, yeah but don't ask me how to do it, never had the need/wish for that :P
[05:17] <eatatjoes> pajamian, computer temperature stays higher in ubuntu than in XP!
[05:18] <neilvaage> Mine went down eatatjoes.
[05:18] <Striker_XF35> Does anyone know why full screen games would cause a full crach of ubuntu?
[05:18] <murlidhar> unop : there ain't anything. you mean ./config/openbox/
[05:18] <neilvaage> Then again I am using EEE.
[05:18] <eatatjoes> neilvaage, mine did with 7.10 but not with hardy
[05:18] <murlidhar> ?
[05:18] <unop> murlidhar, perhaps
[05:18] <unop> murlidhar, your best bet would be to refer to the openbox documentation
[05:18] <neilvaage> Striker, not sure, but I have issues with 3D when it comes to games in Hardy.
[05:18] <eatatjoes> is there visual effects or stuff than can be disabled?
[05:18] <murlidhar> unop: there also there isn't any autostart.sh file
[05:19] <pajamian> eatatjoes: yeah, you can disable compiz if it's been enabled (comes disabled by default)
[05:19] <murlidhar> unop: i actually forgot where to find the autostart.sh file
[05:19] <sarndt> join #linuxone
[05:20] <eatatjoes> pajamian,  wheres that at? (i think its disabled already)
[05:20] <murlidhar> unop: i think that is the only option left now .
[05:20] <neilvaage> EVE Online opens splash then crashes to desktop as it opens the window, Chess in 3D view can't decide between 2D and 3D and flickers like a madman, UrbanTerror shows some screen flickering where I have icons on the desktop while Blender also shows anomalies like screenlets not hiding behind it etc.
[05:20] <murlidhar> unop :  thanks anyways
[05:20] <pajamian> eatatjoes: System / Preferences / Appearance
[05:20] <unop> murlidhar, you could use find.   find ~ -iname "*autostart.sh*"
[05:20] <eatatjoes> pajamian, last tab > none?
[05:21] <murlidhar> unop k
[05:21] <pajamian> eatatjoes: yep
[05:21] <neilvaage> But I am using a 915GM inside a tiny little EEE PC, so I ain't expecting wonders, just a shame that it works on the Windows XP partition, I don't want to boot up Windows /sulk
[05:21] <eatatjoes> anyway to see what it using all the resources?
[05:22] <pajamian> eatatjoes: you can run top in the terminal (there are other ways as well)
[05:22] <neilvaage> There's a System Monitor under System > Administration
[05:22] <Striker_XF35> I know I have the nvidia driver installed but the glitch seems to randomly place a full screen game in a normal box but the mouse disappears and keyboard becomes unopperable
[05:23] <shingen> tragik: gksu
[05:23] <Striker_XF35> leaving no option but to hard reset
[05:23] <neff1205> how do I see what hardware i have? chipset, soundcard....ect
[05:23] <shingen> lol, I responded to a question that was 40 minutes old :P
[05:23] <eatatjoes> its showing that gnome-panel is sleeping but 22MB of memory is the highest
[05:24] <neilvaage> With nearly all Compiz snassy effects on, I am using only 200MB ram :x Got to love Ubuntu over XP/Vista, would run at least 500MB there.
[05:24] <eatatjoes> im only using 220MB of RAM but pc seems to be running warmer :/
[05:25] <neilvaage> Fan control issue?
[05:25] <shingen> pssh... I just stripped my windows virtual image down to 150MB :P
[05:25] <Striker_XF35> is there any key combo in ubuntu that acts like alt-ctrl-del does in windows?
[05:25] <pajamian> eatatjoes: I know this may seem obvious, but when was the last time you cleaned out your fans?
[05:25] <eatatjoes> pajamian, today
[05:25] <neilvaage> I forgot what that does Striker lol :D
[05:25] <shingen> Striker_XF35: yeah, ctrl-alt-delete :)
[05:25] <pajamian> eatatjoes: hehehe, ok, just checking
[05:25] <eatatjoes> pajamian,  it runs about 8C cooler in XP than Ubuntu
[05:25] <Striker_XF35> dang
[05:25] <jennifer> hi
[05:25] <neilvaage> Task manager?
[05:26] <karuna_bdc> does anyone know y pidgin keeps on having MSN read errors?
[05:26] <neilvaage> You can bind the exact shortcut to launch the System Monitor if you wanted.
[05:26] <neff1205> conexant CX20551 is the sound card i think?, is there a driver for that?
[05:27] <pajamian> karuna_bdc: nope, it's logged in fine for me.  How long has it been doing that?
[05:27] <jennifer> i have kubuntu-kde4 installed from wubi. i also installed ubuntu-desktop, but now i want to get rid of both and run an ubuntu-minimal. is there a command line guru around that knows how to do that?
[05:28] <shingen> jennifer: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop for gnome... I can't recall what to remove for kde
[05:28] <jennifer> it's kde4 the one that wubi gave me
[05:28] <karuna_bdc> pajamian: quite some time, almost a month now
[05:28] <unop> jennifer, http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/puregnome  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PureKDE
[05:28] <hiptobecubic^> does ubu have the middle-click-toggles-autoscroll feature? i can't find it
[05:28] <shingen> jennifer: find it in synaptic... I can't remember what the package is called
[05:28] <shingen> jennifer: or aptitude even
[05:28] <lint> hi jenniefer =)
[05:28] <unop> shingen, ubuntu-destkop is just a metapackage, removing it has little effect
[05:28] <karuna_bdc> pajamian: sometimes it can connect but most of the time it says reading error even tho the internet is on just fine
[05:29] <shingen> unop: if you remove it with all dependencies, it will do what you want it to
[05:29]  * usser sighs
[05:29] <pajamian> karuna_bdc: oh well, as I said, it's working fine for me, but we're probably connecting to different msn servers.
[05:29] <jennifer> lint: hi =]
[05:29] <hamzilla> Does ubuntu have an ansi console font installed by default? ie: one that displays all the fancy ansii in BitchX Or epic scripts?
[05:29] <unop> shingen, right, but apt-get does not do that by default
[05:29] <Kohlrak> does anyone know how to get into that applet for the multiple screens?
[05:29] <karuna_bdc> pajamian: i guess, which country u in?
[05:30] <zeeeee> where is daemon keeping pidfiles? i checked /var/run but i don't see it there.... the command i used is daemon -r -O daemon.info -E daemon.err -n $NAME -U $DAEMON $DAEMON_ARGS
[05:30] <hamzilla> hey pajamian yesterday you gave me some advice on howto get to console and it worked ., thank you :>
[05:30] <pajamian> hamzilla: yeah, I remember that
[05:30] <neff1205> mailto:?Body=vncviewer neff-laptop:0
[05:30] <pajamian> karuna_bdc: New Zelaand
[05:30] <pajamian> gah
[05:30] <hamzilla> it worked - thank you alot.
[05:30] <pajamian> New Zealand
[05:30] <pajamian> hamzilla: yw :-)
[05:31] <karuna_bdc> pajamian: Malaysia, haha yeap prolly differnet servers
[05:31] <Kohlrak> anyone know the other applet other than screen resolution from the preferances tab that'll allow you to select your resolution?
[05:32] <pajamian> karuna_bdc: most likely it's not a problem on your end of the connection, but a problem with the MSN server you're connecting to or a routing problem that has yet to be resolved.
[05:32] <unsungx> heya, anyone know how to change the appearance of the top bar in 8.04?
[05:33] <Kohlrak> unsungx: system -> preferanes -> appearance
[05:33] <hamzilla> pajamian, how old are you? last night you said you had to go upstairs to eat dinner
[05:33] <unsungx> idk if im askin te right question then lol
[05:33] <pajamian> jennifer: I would guess that you can get rid of all the GUI stuff with: sudo apt-get remove gdm
[05:33] <pajamian> hamzilla: 35, and I saw your comment on that ;-)
[05:33] <hamzilla> haha
[05:33] <hamzilla> ok
[05:33] <unop> pajamian, that will likely only remove the GDM but leave the desktop intact
[05:33] <Kohlrak> pajamian: nope. gdm is only gksu and the auto start of xserver
[05:34] <pajamian> hamzilla: when you get older you can swap wife for parents in that role ;-)
[05:34] <Kohlrak> to get rid of gui entirely, sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-core
[05:34] <hamzilla> yah im 26 my gf hates it when i geek out infront of the computer - but we just do it in different ways ., she loves myspace ., i love console and mpg123 heh
[05:34] <pajamian> oh well, there's gotta be one or two key packages that everything relies on.
[05:34] <hamzilla> pajamian, i have another problem now , i cant find a font installed by default with ubuntu that will display the ansii graphics in bitchx / epic scripts..
[05:35] <jennifer> so sudo apt-get purge xserver-xorg-core would get rid of kde4, gnome, etc.?
[05:35] <wangjnmz> hello
[05:35] <pajamian> hamzilla: sorry, I can't help ya much there.  I am a GUI person unless I'm working on servers and I don't run bitchx on my web servers ;-)
[05:35] <Kohlrak> jennifer: it'd get rid of the gui. gnome, kde, and the like are all xserver programs. they'd stay, but the gui goes.
[05:35] <Kohlrak> it'd still run, you just wouldn't see it =p
[05:36] <hamzilla> epic + lice? ;p
[05:36] <neff1205> what would be the reasons for sound not working on a laptop
[05:36] <Kohlrak> neff: bad card, bad drivers, etc
[05:36] <ykphuah> where to I download the src deb package for the network-manager in ubuntu 8.04?
[05:36] <hamzilla> pajamian, are you a sysadmin?
[05:36] <unop> !puregnome > jennifer
[05:36] <Kohlrak> ykphuah: isn't that default?
[05:36] <unop> !purekde > jennifer
[05:37] <pajamian> hamzilla: yeah, well primarily I do web programming, but I have doen some sysadmin as well, just not a lot.
[05:37] <neff1205> it cant be drivers cause i DL' almost all, pretty sure its not the card
[05:37] <ykphuah> Kohlrak: I want the src deb, the default installed is just binary deb right?
[05:37] <jennifer> okay ubottu thank you :D
[05:37] <hamzilla> pajamian, someone told me if i could learn ruby on rails i could get a sysadmin / jr.sys admin job.,., is ruby on rails that important that basic *nix skills and knowledge of it is all required for such a nice job?
[05:37] <Kohlrak> neff: it has to be one or the other, unless it's your audio player.
[05:37] <unop> jennifer, ubottu is only a faithful bot .. he does what other people tell him to do :)
[05:37] <pajamian> !thanks | jennifer
[05:38] <rgie> hi guys can someone help me, I can't boot my system it wil display a grub >>
[05:38] <jennifer> oh lol. it's kinda cute
[05:38] <neff1205> mmmmmmmm
[05:38] <unop> hamzilla, off-topic
[05:38] <Kohlrak> ykphuah: hm... you'll have to find out the name of the applet then search for it, unless there's a source command
[05:38] <vdsy_> !ubuntu
[05:38] <pajamian> hamzilla: I'm old school, do perl mainly.
[05:38] <Deepthought> I replaced nvidia-9700GS with older FX5200; now when I activate restricted driver x-server won´t start; anything I´m overlooking ?
[05:38] <vdsy_> !slackware
[05:39] <pajamian> hamzilla: we should take this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic
[05:39] <neff1205> how would i find out what the problem is/.
[05:39] <ykphuah> Kohlrak: I have the name of the package, its NetworkManager, i want to take a look at the source that people use to generate this particular deb. In rpm based systems usually the rpm will have a corresponding .src.rpm, which contains the upstream source and any patches.
[05:39] <Kohlrak> neff: that's never easy, especailly with hardware issues on ubuntu
[05:39] <BoltClock> when will pidgin 2.5.0 be available in the repo?
[05:40] <neff1205> :'(
[05:40] <RequinB4> How can I get mplayer-plugin to autoplay?
[05:40] <Kohlrak> ykphuah: try searching for it in synaptic
[05:40] <Kohlrak> anyone know the name of the other resolution applet?
[05:40] <ykphuah> Kohlrak: I am guessing I need extra repos in synaptics, the default ones doesn't show me the src deb
[05:41] <neff1205> any ideas?
[05:41] <Kohlrak> ykphuah: perhaps, unless the source is in the deb
[05:41] <Kohlrak> neff: check your audio card on the audio card compatability list, then google "ubuntu" and the name of your card and maybe some one has a fix for it
[05:42] <amanulla> im getting my screen brightness reduced in ubuntu 8 when ever i logged in what to do?
[05:42] <Striker_XF35> Anyone experiencing crashes when playing full screen games try disabling screen saver
[05:42] <Striker_XF35> 2nd crash in 30 hour caused me to do research
[05:42] <neff1205> kk
[05:42] <dfccarrion> amanulla: I have had a similar issue with other operating systems, but not with ubuntu
[05:42] <Striker_XF35> quit
[05:43] <amanulla> what to do?
[05:43] <Scorp_> Hey guys, i'm not able to get a splash screen when i start or shut down ubuntu. What do i do ??
[05:43] <dfccarrion> amanulla: i would imagine that such things are stored in a settings file, that should be easily modified
[05:43] <dfccarrion> amanulla: let me see if i can find anything
[05:43] <peepsalot> what app would you folks recommend for playing DVDs?
[05:43] <peepsalot> totem seems to do a pretty poor job of it
[05:43] <Scorp_> peepsalot: VLC !!
[05:44] <RequinB4> !dvd
[05:44] <amanulla> dfccarrion:have u solved ur problem?
[05:44] <dfccarrion> meanwhile... anyone else got some ideas?
[05:44] <RequinB4> VLC
[05:44] <ykphuah> Scorp_: so what do you get when starting ubuntu? did you get the little penguin at the top left corner?
[05:44] <peepsalot> ok, trying vlc, thanks
[05:44] <Scorp_> ykphuah: Actaully after the bootloader menu, i get continuous text instead of ubuntu screen till the X screen starts...
[05:45] <Kohlrak> anyone remember the name of hte monitor configuration program?
[05:45] <amanulla> do we have vlc player in ubuntu if so how to get it can any one provide me link?
[05:45] <peepsalot> Kohlrak, xrandr?
[05:45] <Scorp_> amanulla: its there in synaptic
[05:45] <peepsalot> amanulla, it's in the repos
[05:45] <dfccarrion> amanulla: look in synaptic
[05:45] <dfccarrion> it should be there
[05:45] <RequinB4> how can i make mplayer auto-play when i visit a webpage
[05:45] <Kohlrak> peepsalot: It's a gui i'm thinking about.
[05:46] <amanulla> where  synaptic?
[05:46] <Scorp_> amanulla: what r u using ?? GNome or KDE ??
[05:46] <BoltClock> amanulla: system > administration > synaptic package manager
[05:46] <dfccarrion> boltclock & amanulla: no it should be in the Add/remove programs synaptic
[05:47] <dfccarrion> which will be easier than synaptic package manager
[05:47] <amanulla> ok im checking in synaptics
[05:47] <BoltClock> dfccarrion: okay
[05:47] <wols> Kohlrak: displayconfig-gtk? also depends on the driver used
[05:47] <BoltClock> amanulla: follow dfccarrion's instruction instead... applications > add/remove
[05:47] <Kootie> is there any deb packages for pidgin 2.5?
[05:47] <melwyn> hi

[05:48] <BoltClock> when will pidgin 2.5.0 be available for me to get through apt?
[05:48] <melwyn> add remove
[05:48] <dfccarrion> amanulla: search for it in the top right

[06:01] <gaintsura> hey all, I've got a toshiba A215 laptop with a chicony built in webcam.. I've tried using gspca video drivers and the uvc drivers, neither of them work, they claim to have loaded but when I open up digiKam and try to autodetect the camera it says its not there
[06:01] <green_and_high_o> yaris123456789: you have to make sure that file is exucatible and then you can do /bin/sh whatever.sh that's whyc chmod +x
[06:01] <yaris123456789> ah
[06:02] <gaintsura> I've been on 4 or more forums and they all haven't been responded to in over a year, has anyone gotten one of these cameras to function (at least mostly)
[06:02] <Inuyasha> allow??????
[06:02] <c0rrupt0r> has anyone tried out CNR on ubuntu yet and how stable is it if so?
[06:02] <MrTKusa> well, I just wanted to sign on and anounce my joy with ubuntu
[06:02] <MrTKusa> goodnight all
[06:02] <maliciousmiked> night mrtkusa
[06:02] <green_and_high_o> Anyone seen ubuntusatanic I think the title is catchy
[06:02] <Omoikane> how do I stop terminal from doing something?
[06:03] <gaintsura> Omoikane ctrl+Z
[06:03] <dfccarrion> ctrl + c
[06:03] <MrTKusa> Ctrl q
[06:03] <MrTKusa> q
[06:03] <Ahadiel> Omoikane, Ctrl + C usually, Ctrl+z puts it in the background
[06:03] <green_and_high_o> ctrl+z is suspend ctlr+c is kill job
[06:03] <MrTKusa> alt c
[06:03] <carandraug> MrTKusa: good night. By the way, don't want to be rude, but take a look at #ubuntu-offtopic too
[06:03] <dfccarrion> haha depends on the context omoikane
[06:03] <gaintsura> Ahadiel: then why does it say stopped: <program name>
[06:03] <BoltClock> MrTKusa: good night
[06:03] <Drezard> can anyone help with setting up a postfix server?

[06:04] <hanasakiRemote> pidgin says a yahoo and a gtalk ID  have been signed on for several days... I know I logged off the id this morning.  how can this be?
[06:05] <murlidhar> i did something wrong and i now don't get the option of "extract here" in the right click menu of pcmanfm .
[06:05] <gaintsura> green_and_high_o: hm, I didn't know that
[06:05] <murlidhar> what might be the problem ?
[06:05] <gaintsura> thanks
[06:05] <threethirty> has anyone here been able to play any quake3 based FPS games with the nouveau drivers?
[06:05] <Deepthought> I replaced nvidia-9700GS with older FX5200; now when I activate restricted driver x-server won´t start; anything I´m overlooking ?
[06:05] <mn8086> Hi, i have simon the sorcerer 1 in windows cd. Am i able to play it with scummvm? somehow im always getting "Segmentation fault" when trying..
[06:05] <maliciousmiked> ok...i did come in to ask a question....my refresh rate is crap (yes, ive searched the forums) ive tried editing zorg with hor and vert....didnt work...ive used displayconfig-gtk..no luck...tried modeline generator for nvidia...nothing....anyone have any other suggestoins?
[06:06] <threethirty> Deepthought: have you tried removing the driver and reinstalling it?
[06:06] <hwilde_> maliciousmiked, what is your fps
[06:06] <Deepthought> maliciousmiked, did you set the monitortype in displconf ?
[06:07] <murlidhar> i did something wrong and i now don't get the option of "extract here" in the right click menu of pcmanfm .
[06:07] <hanasakiRemote> maliciousmiked are you here?
[06:07] <bullgard4> What does 'ata1' mean in the dmesg message: "[   15.318615] ata1: PATA max UDMA/100 cmd 0x1f0 ctl 0x3f6 bmdma 0x1860 irq 14" in contrast to 'ata2'?
[06:07] <gaintsura> has anyone gotten a chicony camera to install and function?
[06:07] <maliciousmiked> yes, it found the driver for it deepthought, but after a reboot of x....it reverts back to unknown monitor type
[06:07] <hwilde_> maliciousmiked, what is your fps
[06:07] <maliciousmiked> fps? uhh
[06:07] <maliciousmiked> dunno what you mean
[06:07] <gaintsura> bullgard4: that is your ATA controller sending information
[06:07] <wols> bullgard4: first and escond pata controller
[06:07] <Deepthought> threethirty, it did get deactivated and switched to nonrestr.  I reactivated it after reinstalling; is it different when removed first ?
[06:08] <murlidhar> frames per second
[06:08] <murlidhar> i did something wrong and i now don't get the option of "extract here" in the right click menu of pcmanfm .
[06:08] <hanasakiRemote>  maliciousmiked wish I could help you on the xorg... did you see my other question on pidgin?  "signed on" says 2 days but I logged off the ID thismorning and just logged it back on now. how can this be?
[06:08] <maliciousmiked> uhh my refresh rate is stuck at 50hz
[06:08] <gaintsura> maliciousmiked: at what res?
[06:08] <maliciousmiked> 1280x1024
[06:08] <maliciousmiked> i want 85hz goshdoggit
[06:08] <gaintsura> maliciousmiked: cut it down some and then try upping the refresh rate
[06:09] <hwilde_> maliciousmiked, you complete about refresh rate but you don't know what is your fps?
[06:09] <Deepthought> maliciousmiked, probably to high for over 50; tried 1024x768 or 88x600 ?
[06:09] <murlidhar> i did something wrong and i now don't get the option of "extract here" in the right click menu of pcmanfm .
[06:09] <threethirty> Deepthought: try reinstalling the driver, it may be some how linked to your old card
[06:09] <wols> !repeat | murlidhar
[06:09] <maliciousmiked> my monitor supports that rate, according to their website
[06:09] <gaintsura> maliciousmiked: perhaps your drivers are misconfigured
[06:10] <maliciousmiked> its a restricted driver or whatever, auto installed when i installed ubuntu
[06:10] <gaintsura> what card
[06:10] <maliciousmiked> i have built in video card from nvidia
[06:10] <l3d> I was wondering how to not take a update and stop it from trying to pick it up as a needed update again
[06:10] <Deepthought> threethirty I did, but without removing; can I remove from adept or do I need a apt-formula ?
[06:10] <gaintsura> maliciousmiked: hold on 1 sec
[06:10] <Deepthought> hwilde, fps and refresh rate is totally different thing ;-P
[06:11] <hwilde_> Deepthought, how is he measuring what he is complaining about?
[06:11] <murlidhar> is there any command that can tell me all the applications that have been installed ?
[06:11] <wols> Deepthought: on a desktop, fps is meaningless
[06:11] <hwilde_> murlidhar, look in synaptic
[06:11] <l3d> I was wondering how to not take a update and stop it from trying to pick it up as a needed update again
[06:11] <maliciousmiked> deepthought, misscommunication with the server? i dunno why your online stats would stick like that
[06:11] <threethirty> Deepthought: unfortunately im not sure... sorry
[06:12] <bullgard4> wols: lspi reports that there is only one IDE interface in my computer: "Intel 82801 DBM (ICH4-M) IDE Controller" and not two.
[06:12] <gaintsura> maliciousmiked: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#NVidia_Driver
[06:12] <Deepthought> hwilde, like I said; it´s a different thing; fps is number of refresh of game-screen or video, refresh of monitor uis frequency of screen 9flicker or not)
[06:12] <wols> bullgard4: wrong. this chip has TWO IDE interfaces just like you have TWO 40 pin connectors for it
[06:12] <maliciousmiked> i will read gaintsura, thank you
[06:12] <Deepthought> wols, exactly, that´s what I´m trying to convey
[06:13] <kcman1> anyone in here help me with my graphics card?
[06:13] <gaintsura> maliciousmiked: np, its pretty straight forward
[06:13] <Deepthought> maliciousmiked, what do you mean about online stats sticking ?
[06:13] <gaintsura> kcman1: http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu:Hardy#Installation_of_ATI_and_nVidia_Graphics_drivers
[06:13] <wols> as for refresh rates: check your xorg logs
[06:15] <carandraug> !anyone | kcman1
[06:16] <l3d> I was wondering how to not take a update and stop it from trying to pick it up as a needed update again
[06:16] <Deepthought> maliciousmiked, I had those probs too, have monitor that can do, but doesn´t show up; try nvidia-settings with the restricted driver and set there; they have better defs of the monitors than the gnome-stuff in my experience; it worked for me
[06:17] <maliciousmiked> i used sudo displayconfig-gtk
[06:17] <maliciousmiked> it showed up my monitor type
[06:17] <maliciousmiked> i changed the refresh rate to 85hz, restarted....back at 50
[06:17] <murlidhar> i did something wrong . and i don't get the "extract here " option in pcmanfm.  . i got this trouble eversince i change the openwith application . what is the default open-with application ?
[06:17] <bullgard4> wols: This is not true. It must be some more abstract thing because I do not have two 40-pin connectors in my T42 IBM laptop computer.
[06:17] <maliciousmiked> i have the restricted driver installed already
[06:18] <cyphase> does anyone know if it's possible to set the window class when running VLC? or, if not, some program that can run another program (e.g. VLC) and set it's window class?
[06:18] <ledenby> 13d;i hate those updates 2....they're brutal on dialup.....maybe unnecessary anyway because Ubuntu 8.04is in stealth mode according to GRC.com
[06:18] <Deepthought> maliciousmiked, try with nvidia-settings, really works better; sudo it from console and save settings to xorgconf.   ...still don´t understand what you mean by online stats ?
[06:18] <MIKED> hi
[06:19] <MIKED> I am having trouble installing a theme and was hoping someone could help
[06:19] <Deepthought> maliciousmiked, you might have to install nv-setngs first (is in adept)
[06:19] <maliciousmiked> ok deepthought
[06:19] <dfccarrion> miked: ok what's your problem?
[06:19] <Deepthought> maliciousmiked, online stats ?
[06:20] <murlidhar> i did something wrong . and i don't get the "extract here " option in pcmanfm.  . i got this trouble eversince i change the openwith application . what is the default open-with application ?
[06:21] <dfgas> how do i get desktop icons to default to right side
[06:22] <murlidhar> thanks guys
[06:22] <dfgas> how do i get my desktop icons to default to right side in gnome (sorry for not having that)
[06:23] <l3d> I was wondering how to not take a update and stop it from trying to pick it up as a needed update again
[06:23] <kcman1> gaintsura how do i tell what kind of graphics card i have?
[06:23] <gaintsura> ...
[06:23] <hwilde_> kcman1, lspci
[06:23] <gaintsura> thats usually something you should know imho
[06:24] <pajamian> !pin | l3d
[06:24] <hwilde_> gaintsura, you shouldnt have to know
[06:24] <Omoikane> What is a good graphics program to use with a tablet?
[06:24] <Shmulik> I am trying to install ubuntu 8.04 on an intel core duo processor. The hard drive has been partitioned in to two. After the install CD loads and I select to run the CD live the kernel fails to lode and prints this message "the kernel requires an x86-64 CPU but only detected an i686 CPU - Unable to boot"
[06:25] <MTecknology> Is there anybody in here that would want to read a acouple articles i wrote up that try to fix high battery consumption and make irssi awsome?
[06:25] <pajamian> Shmulik: you need the i386 version of ubuntu, not the x86-64
[06:26] <amanulla> hii can i find skype here
[06:26] <newman0708> how can i find files created before chen.txt?
[06:26] <LSD|Ninja> amanulla: Skype have .deb's on their site but it's also in the Medibuntu repo
[06:26] <newman0708> how can i find files created before chen.txt?
[06:27] <pajamian> !skype | amanulla
[06:27] <LSD|Ninja> newman0708: asking every 30 seconds isn't the way to get help
[06:27] <amanulla> im using ubuntu 8 how to get skype
[06:27] <Shmulik> pajamian - but this is a macbook pro on an intell chipset. Why would i use the i386?
[06:27] <Omoikane> What is a good graphics program to use with a tablet?
[06:27] <hamzilla> i386 == intel chipset
[06:27] <dsmith_> what would the procedure be to reinstalleing windows on a dual boot? 1. reinstall windows 2. run super grub to fix it so that grub is restored on the mbr?
[06:27] <pajamian> Shmulik: you said it's a core 2 duo?  that should be 64 bit, but maybe yours isn't
[06:27] <LSD|Ninja> Shmulik: amd64 brings with it a bunch of problems that unless you absolutely need it, aren't worth moving away from i386 over
[06:28] <LSD|Ninja> pajamian: All Core 2 Duos are 64 bit
[06:28] <kcman1> hwilde yeah isnt there a grep that i should apent with?
[06:28] <amanulla> how to know my computer is a 34 or 64 bit?
[06:28] <LSD|Ninja> amanulla: what CPU do you have?
[06:28] <Shmulik> pajamian: this is a intel core duo
[06:28] <pajamian> LSD|Ninja: apparently Shmulik's computer won't boot the x86-64 live cd, though.
[06:28] <LSD|Ninja> Shmulik: Ah, Core Duos aren't 64 bit
[06:28] <Omoikane> Is gimp the only graphics program for ubuntu?
[06:28] <amanulla> mine is intel core 2 duo
[06:29] <amanulla> 1.5 GHZ processor
[06:29] <Omoikane> I need something that can use the pressure sensitivity of a drawing tablet.
[06:29] <LSD|Ninja> amanulla: Then you definitely have EM64T support
[06:30] <Lil_Yoshi_Powder> ubunt n00b here, need some help if anyone has a few minutes
[06:30] <Shmulik> I need the x86 architecture installer.
[06:30] <Shmulik> thanks everyone.
[06:30] <pajamian> Omoikane: gimp is not the only graphics program for ubuntu but it's generally considered to be the heavy hitter.
[06:30] <LSD|Ninja> Even if you had Core 2, it's generally best to stick with i386 unless you have specific reasons to go to amd64
[06:31] <pajamian> LSD|Ninja: I tend to agree.
[06:31] <Klick__> Hey all, Im having a lot of problems with firefox in intrepid, whats the next best browser?
[06:32] <pajamian> !intrepid | Klick__
[06:32] <Omoikane> pajamian is there software for ubuntu that can use the pressure sensitive pen? I have it so it can draw but I don't think gimp can use the pressure aspect of it.
[06:32] <pajamian> Omoikane: I don't know, sorry.
[06:32] <Klick__> pajamian, what?  I dont understand you, what browser were you suggesting as an alternative to firefox?
[06:32] <hamzilla> pajamian, you're a ninja everyone directs there questions towards you.
[06:33] <hitman1985> where can i find themes that work without problems for ubuntu 8.04
[06:33] <hamzilla> Klick__,  opera is really good.
[06:33] <Klick__> thanks hamzilla
[06:33] <hamzilla> konqueror comes with ubuntu i think
[06:33] <pajamian> Klick__: you need to get intrepid support from #ubuntu+1
[06:34] <favro> any lxde users here? - bugger won't accept any changes...
[06:34] <amal029> links is the ultimate no unnecessary rubbish javascript
[06:36] <garou> Hi. Is there a list of usable GFX cards somewhere?
[06:36] <amanulla> i m using ubuntu 8 i want to down load skype if i downloads from here Download Debian package from http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-ubuntu can i install it ..does it works in my system as i use it in xp?
[06:36] <hamzilla> compatable graphics cards w/ubuntu?
[06:37] <hamzilla> what is skype?
[06:37] <amanulla> skype is a chat software
[06:37] <geek_> amanulla: in general yeah, it should
[06:37] <sluimers> skype is a chatprogram
[06:37] <pajamian> Omoikane: is it a wacom drawing pad?
[06:37] <hamzilla> like pidgin ?
[06:37] <rodya_> skype is voip software
[06:38] <fsloke> there?
[06:38] <hitman1985> skype is both
[06:38] <Omoikane> pajamian yes
[06:38] <amanulla> i dont know pidgin its like yahoomsn,gtalk in xp
[06:38] <Kohlrak-Server> anyone ever heard of a problem where you end up with a white screen upon logging in?
[06:38] <Omoikane> pajamian why?
[06:38] <fsloke> I install an application using ./configure
[06:38] <fsloke> make
[06:38] <fsloke> make install
[06:39] <fsloke> may I know how can I uninstall the application?
[06:39] <fsloke> In short reverse everything back to normal
[06:39] <hamzilla> rm -rf /applications-directory
[06:39] <pajamian> Omoikane: from what I can gather GIMP does appear to have support for that, includign pressure sensitivity, but I'm not sure.  YOu will want the wacom-tools package.
[06:39] <sluimers> I want to set my resolution to 1600x1050, it's not an option in the screen resolution menu, can anyone help me with that?
[06:40] <favro> sluimers: in a terminal type - xrandr  - and see if that is an option
[06:41] <sluimers> favro, nope, not an option
[06:41] <l3d> I was wondering how to not take a update and stop it from trying to pick it up as a needed update again
[06:41] <hamzilla> does ubuntu support usb digital cameras? i have a nikon coolpix 2000
[06:42] <hitman1985> hamzilla, my canon ixus works
[06:42] <hitman1985> hamzilla, as long as u just want to get pics from there to ubuntu it should just pick it up fine
[06:42] <sluimers> favro, I do know it's possible, but I've switched to different graphics drivers and back... it just seems I did not get totally back yet
[06:43] <favro> sluimers: you will have to edit xorg.conf and add it as an option - gksu gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[06:43] <hamzilla> hitman1985, what app do you use?
[06:43] <pajamian> Omoikane: look under file / preferences / input devices in the gimp to see what options it has for the drawing pad.
[06:43] <sluimers> favro, you mean in section monitor?
[06:44] <Madpilot> hamzilla, the default for cameras in Ubuntu is F-Spot; it's pretty slick, and the automatic camera detection is great - just plug the critter in and turn it on
[06:44] <kcman1> gaintsura you gave me that page for ati and nvidia but there are no options for intel corporation mobile chip sets
[06:44] <hamzilla> nice -
[06:44] <hitman1985> hamzilla, i use the one what came with it, but its really anoying to be honest, because it imports with img 099.jpg and so i think you cant really tell it to give some names like abc.jpg and so on
[06:44] <hitman1985> hamzilla, but it imports it nicely and in one folder with date and so on so i dont really care
[06:44] <hamzilla> sheesh the battery is dead in my camera allready
[06:44] <favro> sluimers: in section screen
[06:45] <hamzilla> i hate that - 4 double a's and they die after like 10 minutes
[06:45] <pajamian> hitman1985: it will just import with the names given to the files by your camera.  You can certainly rename the files after import.
[06:45] <legend2440> l3d: open synaptic select package you want to lock  choose Package>Lock version
[06:45] <pajamian> hamzilla: I've heard that some cameras are very picky about the batteries they use.
[06:46] <dfgas> Linux PD2800Dual 2.6.24-19-generic #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux
[06:46] <dfgas> why doesn't it update at all
[06:46] <hamzilla> yah i have 2 rechargeable ones and 2 dollar store ones dollar store ones are terrible in anything moreless a digital camera
[06:47] <hitman1985> pajamian, jeah i guess so, but its kinda pain in the back to do so because i havent even found a way to do batches and i got way to much pics to worry about that if its not built in so therefore i was usin the cam just temp on linux and will use it on wind... untill i find a proper application
[06:47] <dfgas> it doesn't even tell me there is an update for kernel
[06:48] <wbmj> hitman1985: you may want to try pyrenamer
[06:48] <hitman1985> wbmj, is it importer or just renamer ?
[06:48] <Dante_Rugil> does anyone know any publishers in south mississippi?
[06:49] <wbmj> hitman1985: a batch renamer
[06:49] <pajamian> hitman1985: you can rename in batches in the terminal easily enough.
[06:49] <hitman1985> wbmj, i dont want to work with terminal :)
[06:49] <hitman1985> whops wrong way
[06:49] <Ontolog> Does Ubuntu have an Image Magick package that doesn't depend on X?
[06:49] <hitman1985> pajamian, i dont like terminal so i dont  think its convienient to work with it
[06:50] <hitman1985> im tryin to get all the daily stuff workin to get more ppl to get onto ubuntu
[06:50] <pajamian> hitman1985: check out wbmj's suggestion
[06:50] <pajamian> !info pyrenamer | hitman1985
[06:50] <hitman1985> not to have them run around all day to find something
[06:50] <Dante_Rugil> are you using UE?
[06:51] <sparrow9> hi, does hardy work with pulseaudio?
[06:51] <wbmj> sparrow9: yes
[06:51] <hwilde_> !info imagemagick | Ontolog
[06:51] <hitman1985> pajamian, i ll try it sometime
[06:52] <pajamian> !pulse | sparrow9
[06:52] <hitman1985> thank ya and hf gl
[06:52] <sparrow9> thx. has anyone used pulseaudio with hardy without problems?
[06:52] <Ontolog> hwilde_: uhhh can it be installed independent of X?
[06:53] <pajamian> sparrow9: it's had a few problems but it is the default in hardy.  What problems are you having?
[06:53] <favro> any lxde users here? - bugger won't accept any changes I make...
[06:53] <sparrow9> thx. was thinking of trying it
[06:54] <pajamian> sparrow9: you're probably already using it.
[06:54] <sparrow9> does pusleaudio also have development libs for ubuntu?
[06:55] <wbmj> sparrow9: all the software in ubuntu has a dev lib counterpart
[06:55] <sparrow9> thx. what is it called? libpulse?
[06:56] <morenita> hi
[06:56] <morenita> switch keyboard layout
[06:56] <pajamian> !info libpulse-dev | sparrow9
[06:56] <wbmj> sparrow9: run the search function in Synaptic....

[06:56] <cyphase> Does anyone know if it's possible to set the window class when running VLC? If not, is there some program that can run another program (e.g. VLC) and set it's window class?

[06:57] <murlidhar> k atleast can anyone tell me how to extract a tar.gz.7z.gz using the terminal?
[06:57] <pajamian> murlidhar: huh!?!?!
[06:58] <hwilde_> Ontolog, umm you want to do image manipulation without the X?  it will probalby need libs
[06:58] <sluimers> favro, thanks favro!
[06:58] <murlidhar> pajamian that is a file extension that i have downloaded
[06:58] <wbmj> murlidhar: you might want to read man tar.... that should answer your question
[06:58] <pajamian> murlidhar: ok, one min, that's crazy
[06:59] <Omoikane> pajamian it says 3 under pad and pressure
[07:00] <pajamian> Omoikane: well that seems to indicate it supports it, I can't help any more than that.
[07:00] <pajamian> murlidhar: you need to install the p7zip package first
[07:00] <pajamian> murlidhar: sudo apt-get install p7zip
[07:00] <rubydiamond> what is equivalent of fiddler in ubuntu
[07:00] <murlidhar> pajamian already installed p7zip-full package
[07:02] <pajamian> murlidhar: then I think something along the lines of ... gunzip -c filename.tar.gz.7z.gz | p7zip -d | gunzip | tar -x
[07:02] <amanulla> while i log in in ubuntu 8 .4 my screen  brightness is being reduced so every time i have to manullay increase it is there any alternative?
[07:02] <murlidhar> pajamian thanks

[07:18] <MIKED> hey guys, I am trying to install an new theme and part of it requires awn manager.. problem is I cant get it to work

[07:21] <hiptobecubic> !ask | Lil_Yoshi_Powder
[07:21] <Flannel> garou: It might be because its too new, that happens sometimes (takes a release to catch up to the hardware in the official package channels), have you tried using envyng?
[07:21] <mouseclone_> anyone had trouble with iPods syncing?  I'm getting time outs or just lockups on amarok, gtkpod and others

[07:22] <amanulla> can we run multiple operating systems at same time like two seperate windows?
[07:22] <Lil_Yoshi_Powder> ok sorry: im having trouble installing ubuntu.  I installed and rebooted, it asks if i want to load ubuntu or windows.  I choose ubuntu, the image and orange scroller load then it sends me to a black screen with (initramfs) prompt
[07:23] <garou> Okay, I'll try. In case that that fails, what GFX card models could/would you suggest?
[07:23] <mouseclone_> hiptobecubic: it works fine.  Doesn't have any issues with iTunes on windows
[07:23] <karex> amanulla: no, but you can use virtualization like VMWare
[07:23] <Flannel> amanulla: with virtualization, yes.
[07:23] <amanulla> how can we do so i want to do it can u suggest?
[07:24] <Kohlrak-Server> i got an interesting question for the community doc writers: Why is it that people are suggested to go to the hardware drivers menu when it mysteriously doesn't work in hardy?
[07:24] <geek_> amanulla: you can use VMware or some other virtualisation software. I tend to use a second box and nx or x-forwarding
[07:24] <geek_> instead
[07:24] <MIKED> hey guys, I am trying to setup a new theme but having a hard itme getting emerald and awn manager to work
[07:24] <sparrow9> how can you find irc channels with certain topics?
[07:24] <Flannel> Kohlrak-Server: If it doesn't work for you, file a bug.  It works for a number of people.
[07:24] <Flannel> sparrow9: /msg alis list #*term*
[07:24] <karex> amanulla: visit vmware site, download, and read the instruction or install directly
[07:25] <amanulla> suggest me one best software to do so and pls provide me link to get software
[07:25] <Kohlrak-Server> Flannel: it'd be nice to see if it worked or not. It's just not there. It shows up only on rare occasions.
[07:25] <favro> MIKED: you need to find a readme in the theme or from where you got the theme :)

[07:38] <MooCows> are you saying limaspcia
[07:38] <cyphase> wols: now windows the OS. window as in a window on your screen
[07:38] <MooCows> or indigospci

[07:38] <MooCows> er, I'll just copy and paste
[07:38] <cyphase> geek_: it's a value all windows have
[07:38] <wols> cyphase: windows gdi has a windowclass. X does not
[07:39] <haunse> is there anyone willing to help me with "ndiswapper"
[07:39] <kcman1> wols i will shot you a pastebin read out here in just one second

[07:39] <orgthingy> omg
[07:39] <orgthingy> Error while opening sound device. Please check the output device settings and the project sample rate.
[07:39] <cyphase> wols: something in linux has a window class. i'm pretty sure it's X
[07:39] <orgthingy> what should i do :'( ?
[07:39] <wols> cyphase: then show us the docs for this "window class"
[07:39] <cyphase> wols: that won't help me in this case

[07:40] <MooCows> that
[07:40] <MooCows> ?
[07:40] <MIKED> yes I do
[07:40] <favro> !pm | MIKED
[07:40] <wols> cyphase: but it helps US to have a clue what the heck you talk about
[07:41] <wols> cause right now, you make very little sense
[07:41] <garou> Hi again.
[07:41] <MIKED> compiz is installed
[07:41] <wols> MooCows: snd-hda-intel is the driver you will need
[07:41] <favro> MIKED: and where does it fail - at which part of the readme?
[07:41] <prince_jammys> cyphase: xprop tells you window class information, if that's what you want.
[07:41] <garou> I just put the nVidia 9500GT back into the computer, then installed and started envy-gtk.
[07:41] <cyphase> wols: just because you don't know what a window class is doesn't mean nobody else does
[07:41] <MooCows> wols: will i be able to install that with apt-get ?
[07:41] <kcman1> wols i have the intel corporation mobile 940gm, and when i am running 3d apps like wow as long as i dont move to much i am fine but if i get a move on the app errors out, even some add/remove games will not run without flickering gets annoying glxinfo here: http://pastebin.com/d47f2fb62
[07:41] <garou> This was its reaction: Exception: EnvyNG ERROR: Nvidia card not found
[07:41] <wols> cyphase: no one else here does. not on linux.
[07:41] <prince_jammys> i do
[07:42] <prince_jammys> cyphase: run xprop and click on any window
[07:42] <MIKED> well I have awn manager installed, but when I select the theme and try to apply it, nothing happens (as in I still have the regular bottom bar)
[07:42] <cyphase> wols: prince_jammys just answered something about window class. not what i was looking for, but obviously he knows what it is
[07:42] <garou> Also, shouldn't GFX cards in the PCI-E bus appear in lspci?
[07:42] <MooCows> wols: seems I am unable to install with apt-get
[07:43] <wols> garou: they do. sudo update-pciids; lspci -nn
[07:43] <cyphase> prince_jammys: i know about xprop. what i want is to make VLC have a specific window class
[07:43] <haunse> I am new to ubuntu and have been trying to fully commit to linux ( i have wanted to for a long time) im still confused on how to install software... is there anyone here that would spend a few minutes to help me understand how the process of extracting/installing applications is done (a private message is preffered as that the man room conversations are distracing)
[07:43] <karex> HI, how to set lcd-brightness in hardy?
[07:43] <wols> MooCows: cause it's not needed. ubuntu comes with drivers for it by default. drivers are in the kernel usually, like this one is
[07:43] <Dethray> How do I clear out the print cue?
[07:43] <MooCows> wols: Ok, any idea where to find it?
[07:43] <garou> wols: Still nothing.
[07:44] <wols> haunse: you install via synaptic. it's a program that shows all available ubuntu software and installs it and removes it too
[07:44] <prince_jammys> cyphase: try #xorg
[07:44] <favro> MIKED: have you done the three steps - added the theme to awn + emerald + ccm
[07:44] <wols> MooCows: you simply have it. modprobe snd-hda-intel for example
[07:44] <wols> garou: pastebin the lspci -nn output
[07:44] <CeWe_iMoeT> jakarta
[07:45] <MIKED> yes I have
[07:45] <MooCows> wols: I need to tell the sound mixer to use it?
[07:45] <MIKED> all themes have been added, but it seems like theyr are not being applied
[07:45] <haunse> i know of the add/remove at the bottome of the appplications tabe....but i was under the assumption that installing requires the terminal
[07:45] <garou> wols: http://rafb.net/p/NML78I60.html
[07:45] <karex> CeWe_iMoeT: maksud loe?
[07:45] <wols> MooCows: if it's the only card it is used by default
[07:46] <wols> garou: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:2772] (rev 02)
[07:46] <favro> MIKED: have you logged out/in to apply the themes?
[07:46] <wols> you have an intel video card, integrated. not a 9500gt
[07:46] <MooCows> wols: then why would there be no sound in applications, IE: pidgin, etc
[07:46] <garou> wols: I just put a 9500GT into that computer.
[07:46] <prince_jammys> cyphase: that's probably a good bet, though it might be slow...
[07:46] <wols> MooCows: I wouldn't know since you didn't give enough info
[07:46] <MIKED> im sorry im not sure whta you mean by that
[07:46] <kcman1> wols did you get my last message?
[07:47] <MooCows> wols: what more information can I gather?
[07:47] <MIKED> I've restarted my computer if thats what your asking
[07:47] <wols> kcman1: what ubuntu version?
[07:47] <cyphase> prince_jammys: thanks
[07:47] <wols> MooCows: logfiles check for example
[07:47] <favro> MIKED: try logging out or rebooting and see the result
[07:47] <garou> Heh, I have an evil suspicion... Could be that the cards box is missing a needed power connector.
[07:48] <MIKED> I just rebooted, with no results
[07:48] <wols> cyphase: I'd say you have to look into wxwindows (the vlc gui library) to change window class and recompile vlc
[07:48] <favro> MIKED: k - no luck that way - "You must have install the avant-window-navigator-bzr package" - it is installed?
[07:48] <wols> garou: 9500gt shouldn't need additional power connectors. and if it does, then your PSU needs to have that connector
[07:49] <favro> MIKED: that's prob the theme right?
[07:49] <garou> *bbiab, putting my hands into the guts of my box again*
[07:49] <cyphase> prince_jammys: a lot of gnome apps have a --class option on the command line, but not VLC
[07:49] <MIKED> yes avant-window-navigator-bzr is installed
[07:49] <MIKED> there is a theme for awn and emerald
[07:49] <wols> garou: does your bios put out PCI IDs of connected hardware when it boots?
[07:49] <wols> garou: if it does, check if the nvidia PCI ID is shown
[07:49] <MIKED> but neither seem to work
[07:50] <kcman1> wols hardy i think my grub loader still says 8.04 or whatever
[07:50] <MooCows> wols: My sound also isn't as high as in windows.
[07:50] <favro> MIKED: might be time to ask the good folk in #compiz-fusion then :)
[07:50] <kcman1> wols just checked i am 8.04 hardy
[07:50] <Quiescent> i have a problem, i followed some great tutorial that helped me install flash 10 rc on ubuntu x64 and now the bookmarks and history in firefox don't work, the address bar doesn't update when you load pages, and the refresh, back, and forward buttons don't work. i've done a "complete removal" of everything firefox related and reinstalled and still have the same issue
[07:50] <MIKED> alright let me see what I can get from there, thanks
[07:50] <favro> k
[07:50] <wols> kcman1: your DRI version sounds very old: 2006...
[07:51] <wols> Quiescent: recreate your firefox profile in your ~
[07:51] <MooCows> wols: VLC will play VOBs fine, but the sound is set to max, and the sound isn't blaring like it was in windows
[07:51] <prince_jammys> Quiescent: have you checked whether the ownership of the .mozilla directory and files has changed?
[07:51] <kcman1> wols my master what would you have me do now?
[07:51] <wols> cyphase: vlc is not gnome related btw
[07:51] <haunse> i know of the add/remove at the bottome of the appplications tabe....but i was under the assumption that installing requires the terminal
[07:52] <wols> kcman1: check if there isn't a newer version of driver
[07:52] <hiptobecubic> I need to make a particular domain so that it is accessed using only wifi.  I believe   route add -host <hostname> dev ath0   will accomplish this. does that sound right?
[07:52] <wols> kcman1: e.g. I dunno if in 2006 your chipset already existed, so it could be a driver that is too old. is this a ubuntu upgrade or new install?
[07:52] <Quiescent> i haven't checked the ownership of files, i'm going to try to find my profile and try that first
[07:52] <haunse>  Can anyone help me to understand how to install software on ubuntu (specifically ndiswrapper) i have no idea how to install any tools/software execpt the add/remove tool but i cant figure out how to get ndiswrapper to show up in the add/remove list
[07:53] <wols> hiptobecubic: put it into your /etc/network/interfaces via post-up script
[07:53] <hiptobecubic> wols what is post-up script?
[07:53] <Dethray> having touble printing from my wireless laptop to my print server.  Is there any way to clear out the printer cue?
[07:53] <wols> haunse: install ndisgtk. and that is there
[07:53] <wols> hiptobecubic: a feature of /etc/network/interfaces. man interfaces
[07:53] <favro> !info ndiswrapper
[07:53] <hiptobecubic> wols, ok thanks
[07:54] <wols> Dethray: ask your printserver manual
[07:54] <haunse> thats just it i dont know how to install anything
[07:54] <wols> haunse: start add/remove programs and look for it
[07:54] <wols> haunse: or read help.ubuntu.com
[07:54] <Dethray> well it is shared from my xp  machine, wols
[07:55] <ookjmk> hi
[07:55] <wols> Dethray: why would we care?
[07:55] <Quiescent> how do i backup my bookmarks in firefox 3 if i can't get to them from within the app?
[07:55] <prince_jammys> !apt | haunse : this should be of interest
[07:55] <Dethray> What's your problem?
[07:55] <wols> Dethray: I don't have one. you do have one but it's not ubuntu related. neither printserver nor windows are
[07:56] <Dethray> ok is there a way from within ubuntu to clear out my print cue?
[07:56] <Dethray> I can't seem to find any info on it
[07:56] <ookjmk> hey does anyone know how to install madwifi cuz ive used many tutorials nothing is helping
[07:56] <wols> since the queue is not on ubuntu but on the printserver, why would there?
[07:56] <wols> !madwifi | ookjmk
[07:57] <Amerikan> What is a good DVD burner that is compatible with .avi
[07:57] <wols> ookjmk: hardy uses a dummy package and uses ath5k IIRC
[07:57] <wols> Amerikan: #hardware
[07:57] <Dethray> Why would it not be in ubuntu?
[07:57] <prince_jammys> Quiescent: what does 'ls -ld ~/.mozilla' say?
[07:57] <wols> Dethray: cause your queue is not in ubuntu but the printserver?
[07:58] <Dethray> Hmm
[07:58] <DIFH-iceroot> for dual-view (clone mode) is it possible to use different resolutions for the two screens? intern screen 800x480, extern screen 1024x768
[07:58] <Quiescent> prince_jammys: drwx------ 5 travis travis 4096 2008-08-15 15:11 /home/travis/.mozilla
[07:58] <Quiescent> i'm in .mozilla/firefox/
[07:59] <Quiescent> and then my profile folder
[07:59] <kcman1> wols i bought this machine in dec of 07 with vista on it and i put ubuntu on it to replace the fakey windows attempt at an os, but i have had the same graphics issues with ubuntu that i did with windows so i am not sure what to do about the driver
[07:59] <Dethray> forget it, I'll ask in #cups
[07:59] <wols> DIFH-iceroot: then one is probabkly using a virtual res
[07:59] <Amerikan> wols: Why would that be hardware?
[07:59] <wols> kcman1: that's intel graphics for you
[07:59] <wols> Amerikan: cause it is
[07:59] <Quiescent> but the bookmarks.html and the folder bookmarkbackups don't actually have my bookmarks in them
[07:59] <prince_jammys> Quiescent: ok, that's good. browse into that dir and verify that all files are owned by travis. also, back up that directory while you're at it. (copy it to ~/mozillabackup)
[07:59] <DIFH-iceroot> wols: you mean i have to scroll one screen?
[08:00] <haunse> is there any way that someone could just type the command to install ndiswrapper so i can copy/paste directly to the terminal
[08:00] <wols> Amerikan: we don't tell people what hardware to buy. not a ubuntu support problem. especially not a question like syours
[08:00] <wols> DIFH-iceroot: yes
[08:00] <prince_jammys> Quiescent: oh, i recall something about this. i think i had something like this when i updated firefox.
[08:00] <wols> Quiescent: since ffox3 bookmarks are kept in a sqlite DB
[08:00] <favro> any lxde users here? - bugger won't accept any changes I make...
[08:00] <Amerikan> wols: I didn't ask anything pertaining to hardware unless you think a writable dvd is hardware.
[08:00] <wols> Amerikan: what else is it than hardware?
[08:01] <Quiescent> how do i change ownership of everything, can i use dpkg-statoverride?
[08:01] <Amerikan> wols: Software.
[08:01] <DIFH-iceroot> Quiescent: i think you dont want to do this
[08:01] <Quiescent> nevermind, i see that won't work
[08:01] <favro> Amerikan: k3b seems to be the best imho
[08:01] <perfector> recommend lightweight alternate apps pls.
[08:02] <guestguestnew> how do i use chown on a folder?
[08:02] <sleepingcreep> Salve a tutti.
[08:02] <favro> perfector: fluxbox ftw!
[08:02] <guestguestnew> i need to change the owner of this folder /usr/bin/ruby1.8
[08:02] <prince_jammys> guestguestnew: why?
[08:02] <Amerikan> favro Can I get k3b from synaptics
[08:03] <favro> Amerikan: yep :)
[08:03] <hateball> !chown | guestguestnew
[08:03] <perfector> yes using favro any other desktop apps?
[08:03] <prince_jammys> guestguestnew: owner should be root:root
[08:03] <Quiescent> so i need to do 'chown travis -R' ?
[08:04] <wols> Amerikan: a dvd burner is hardware, dvd burn app is software
[08:04] <Quiescent> or
[08:04] <DOT3CH> anyone here know where to put an .abr gimp brush file
[08:04] <Amerikan> favro: Thanks a ton. I'm new to linux but am a pretty good windows nerd :D
[08:04] <guestguestnew> ok, but i need to change it for a while
[08:04] <guestguestnew> pls
[08:04] <Quiescent> 'chown -R travis .mozilla'?
[08:04] <guestguestnew> give me the command
[08:04] <Amerikan> wols: Sorry I forgot one little word
[08:04] <guestguestnew> /usr/bin/ruby1.8
[08:04] <DIFH-iceroot> guestguestnew: : chown owner:group file/directory but why you would change it
[08:04] <favro> perfector: I use thunar-comes with xfce4-panel, mousepad, epiphany, conky
[08:04] <guestguestnew> thanks
[08:04] <jgiorgi> i am planning on install ubuntu server on my desktop for testing purposes, i understand that for security no GUI is installed by default, i agree that is a great idea for security on most servers but is there a way (easy way) to install a gui and it be all set up like it was default so i dont have to get another computer
[08:04] <Dethray> gnome-cups-manager sux
[08:04] <wols> Amerikan: if you use gnome, you could use brasero
[08:05] <Quiescent> that did it, thank you
[08:05] <perfector> favro, im using pcmanfm conky flock
[08:05] <Quiescent> i just took ownership of the .mozilla folder
[08:05] <perfector> favro mousepad or leafpad?
[08:05] <haunse> ndiswrapper
[08:05] <hateball> jgiorgi: You can just install the same packages you need on a vanilla Ubuntu install. If it's for testing anyway
[08:05] <haunse> info! ndiswrapper
[08:05] <amal029> Best cups interface localhost:631
[08:05] <favro> perfector: mousepad - it has a couple of extras I use :)
[08:05] <perfector> favro, ok
[08:06] <Amerikan> wols: I'll try that if k3b doesn't work out, thank you for the help :)
[08:06] <jgiorgi> hateball: i wanted to keep it separate from my desktop install and make it easy, thought that would be the best way, couldnt i just enter sudo apt-get install gnome
[08:06] <prince_jammys> Quiescent: are you able to access the bookmarks?
[08:06] <perfector> wols, hey
[08:06] <favro> perfector: I start from the server install and use 41mb mem to paint the desktop - was 28 in dapper
[08:06] <hateball> jgiorgi: Yeah you could
[08:06] <Quiescent> yeah, everything works now, i just gave myself ownership of the entire .mozilla folder
[08:07] <prince_jammys> Quiescent: this probably happened if you ran firefox using 'sudo'
[08:07] <jgiorgi> hateball: i love it when i guess the right command, thanks
[08:07] <perfector> favro, can i pm u?
[08:07] <favro> perfector: sure
[08:07] <alex`> anybody can give me the e-book Linus Torvalds "Just4Fun" for 2-3 weeks for read? ;-)
[08:08] <hiptobecubic> wols http://pastebin.com/f52875dfa    like this?
[08:09] <arooni-mobile> how do i get this: "If you’re using MySQL, you’ll need MySQLdb, version 1.2.1p2 or higher. You will also want to read the database-specific notes for the MySQL backend."
[08:11] <wols> hiptobecubic: no. you need to write a script and call that
[08:11] <wols> arooni-mobile: what language?
[08:11] <arooni-mobile> wols, python
[08:11] <arooni-mobile> what about this one:  "If you’re using PostgreSQL, you’ll need the psycopg package. Django supports both version 1 and 2. (When you configure Django’s database layer, specify either postgresql [for version 1] or postgresql_psycopg2 [for version 2].)"
[08:11] <wols> arooni-mobile: apt-cache search python | grep mysql
[08:12] <wols> arooni-mobile: same thing
[08:13] <hiptobecubic> wols, where are user scripts usually stored?
[08:13] <prince_jammys> hiptobecubic: ~/bin
[08:13] <corey> I am getting an error in the totem movie player - I am not able to play dvds
[08:14] <corey> ** (totem:6253): WARNING **: Failed to create dbus proxy for org.gnome.SettingsDaemon: Could not get owner of name 'org.gnome.SettingsDaemon': no such name
[08:14] <wols> hiptobecubic: /etc/network/if-up.d/
[08:14] <wols> prince_jammys: o
[08:14] <wols> *no
[08:14] <corey> anyone can help me?
[08:14] <prince_jammys> wols: didn't know the context
[08:14] <miyako> is there a way to set a different language for a user from the default language of the system in ubuntu?
[08:14] <wols> not these scripts
[08:15] <wols> miyako: set a different LC_ALL env variable for example
[08:15] <DOT3CH> whats the move file command again
[08:15] <corey> please?
[08:15] <hiptobecubic> wols, and in there is just a script with the route command?
[08:15] <miyako> wols: in .bash_profile ?
[08:15] <prince_jammys> DOT3CH: mv source destination
[08:15] <DOT3CH> ty
[08:16] <wols> miyako: for example, yes
[08:16] <wols> hiptobecubic: yes
[08:16] <hiptobecubic> does it need sudo?
[08:16] <hiptobecubic> wols
[08:16] <wols> no, network config is always executed in root context. wouldn't work otherwise
[08:16] <hiptobecubic> wols, it shouldn't right?
[08:17] <prince_jammys> miyako: look into LANG also
[08:17] <corey> anyone able to help me?
[08:17] <hiptobecubic> wols, ok. and lastly, in the interfaces file then it will be     iface ath0 post-up <script>
[08:17] <hiptobecubic> ?
[08:17] <wols> hiptobecubic: no. read the manpage more carefully. it has examples too
[08:18] <miyako> I did "export LC_ALL=ja_JP.utf8" in my .bash_profile and it worked when I run date from the command line, but gnome menus are still in english
[08:18] <Mahrellon> Morning ya'll
[08:18] <pedro> hey everyone
[08:18] <prince_jammys> miyako: put it in .xsessionrc
[08:18] <miyako> prince_jammys: okay, I'll try that now
[08:19] <corey> I need help please
[08:19] <prince_jammys> miyako: or .xsession (i think ubuntu uses .xsessionrc) - neither file probably exists in your system, so create it.
[08:20] <miyako> prince_jammys: I did in in .xsessionrc and that worked, thank!
[08:20] <miyako> gnome even helpfully renamed the standard directories (e.g. home, Documents, etc.)
[08:20] <prince_jammys> miyako: LANG might suffice
[08:20] <hiptobecubic> wols, do you have to include inet dhcp? i left it out because i wasn't sure.    http://pastebin.com/fcfa8d28
[08:20] <miyako> I should write an app to automate that
[08:21] <wols> hiptobecubic: you forgot auto ath0
[08:21] <miyako> I've been looking for an app to test my python skills, an app to automate setting user default languages might be a good app to write
[08:21] <miyako> thanks for the help all
[08:22] <CartoonCat> hellos
[08:22] <pedro> anyone know something about RealPlayer for linux?
[08:24] <hiptobecubic> wols, i guess i'm a bit confused about what this interfaces file REALLY does. before i added that bit at the end, all it had was loopback stuff in it. how does ath0 and eth0 function then? why don't you need auto ath0 and auto eth0 for the interfaces to work?
[08:24] <hiptobecubic> wols, what brings them 'up' ?
[08:24] <dfccarrion> pedro: what about it?
[08:24] <wols> hiptobecubic: /etc/init.d/networking
[08:25] <wols> hiptobecubic: it is your network confing
[08:25] <WebGuest> hello
[08:25] <wols> *config
[08:25] <WebGuest> i got a new 64bit laptop. should i install a 64bit version of ubuntu or a 32bit?
[08:25] <wols> hiptobecubic: ubuntu uses gnome-network-manager as well.
[08:25] <koshari> pedro boes anyone still use real media files?
[08:25] <wols> WebGuest: how much RAM?
[08:25] <WebGuest> wols: 4gb
[08:25] <pedro> RMVB, i do
[08:26] <wols> WebGuest: then it'S a tossup if you really want to, I'd still use i386 tho
[08:26] <pedro> its pratically the only video format i use
[08:26] <dfccarrion> pedro: well what's your question about real player?
[08:26] <wols> 64bit is rarely worth it, especially not on a desktop machine
[08:26] <prince_jammys> pedro: mplayer and vlc probably play them
[08:26] <WebGuest> could you give me some reasons? i've been using 32bit on my pc that is only 32bit and have heard that people still use that  on 64bit systems
[08:26] <koshari> vlc wont play real media,
[08:27] <dfccarrion> webguest: the software just hasn't caught up with 64bit processing hardware
[08:27] <koshari> its about the only format VLC wont play
[08:27] <wols> WebGuest: java plugin, flash plugin, acrobat plugin
[08:27] <kibibyte> hi
[08:27] <pedro> its that when i watch RMVB, everything is blue. some guy told me to go at totem and set hue to minimum and it worked, but now every time i wanna play a RMVB file, i have to open totem also
[08:27] <WebGuest> so i still should go with 32 bit
[08:27] <wols> WebGuest: non exists for 64bit, only many kludges
[08:27] <wols> WebGuest: there is no speed advantage either unless for certain software
[08:27] <haunse> get ndiswrapper
[08:27] <WebGuest> wols: so its practically the same unless for certain software designed for 64bit architecture
[08:28] <WebGuest> ?
[08:28] <koshari> pedro where do you get real media files these days?
[08:28] <wols> WebGuest: yes
[08:28] <WebGuest> then i will stick to 32bit
[08:28] <WebGuest> another question
[08:28] <dfccarrion> webguest: linux's os is very good in 64bit but the software isn't ready for it
[08:28] <pedro> i download rmvb's files at www.islifecorp.com.br , but it's not a english website, i warn you
[08:28] <WebGuest> i noticed that my laptop has a very limited battery life under vista 64bit
[08:28] <WebGuest> will i be able to get better life from ubuntu?
[08:29] <Kartagis> is there a way not to make vi suck in ubuntu?
[08:29] <hiptobecubic> wols, i think this would be easier using /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/    i'll try it there. thanks for your help :)
[08:29] <dfccarrion> webguest: possibly
[08:29] <wols> WebGuest: usually yes, but no one will give you guarantees
[08:29] <wols> Kartagis: use vim
[08:29] <WebGuest> yes i understand that
[08:29] <Kartagis> to make vi not suck rather
[08:29] <prince_jammys> Kartagis: how does it suck?
[08:29] <dfccarrion> webguest: ubuntu uses alot less resources, which usually translates into better battery life
[08:29] <dfccarrion> but no guarantees
[08:29] <WebGuest> dfccarrion & wolfs: will i still be able to install 64bit software on a 32bit ubuntu?
[08:29] <CartoonCat> erm, odd issue. One of my external hdd's with 2 partitions is mounting with partition1 owned by my user, the other as by root. How do I change this so that my user has full access to the 2nd partition?
[08:29] <wols> WebGuest: no
[08:30] <dfccarrion> webguest: nope
[08:30] <WebGuest> dfccarrion, thats what i thoguh, just looking at the cpu usage/ram on my desktop
[08:30] <pedro> anyway, would you know a possible solution?
[08:30] <wols> CartoonCat: set uid, gid and umask correctly
[08:30] <bbq^> Anyone know of a decent organiser ? to insert tasks and schedule reminders etc... ?
[08:30] <dfccarrion> bbq: some people like evolution
[08:31] <dfccarrion> bbq: but I'm not a fan
[08:31] <bbq^> Evolution ? I used to use the mail client and was not a fan
[08:31] <bbq^> yea
[08:31] <hiptobecubic> is there a way to identify ethernet networks (wired) ? something like essid with wireless? i need to be able to recognize what network i'm plugged into
[08:31] <prince_jammys> bbq^: evolution (gnome) kontact, basket (kde)
[08:31] <DOT3CH> how do i extract a .rar
[08:31] <Kartagis> prince_jammys, even though i hit insert, i don't know whether it's insert mode
[08:31] <bbq^> ok prince_jammys
[08:31] <WebGuest> dfccarrion & wolfs: what do you forecast will be the moment 64bit will be fully used?
[08:31] <dfccarrion> bbq: you may try some of mozilla's stuff
[08:31] <CartoonCat> wols, because its a usb drive it will come and go alot (so I can change out to my other drives too, its a usb/ide case with a 5.25 egalnest for 2.5 drives). Where is the correct 'fstab' to edit as fstab isnt it (its only got my primary hd/dvd in it)
[08:31] <WebGuest> like will i be needing to reinstall ubuntu in a short while?
[08:31] <wols> DOT3CH: install unrar
[08:31] <dfccarrion> i forget what it's called... sunbrid?
[08:31] <bbq^> yea dfccarrion i will google some mozilla stuff as there tools work rather well
[08:31] <bbq^> ok
[08:31] <prince_jammys> DOT3CH: install 'unrar' and open the file with 'archive manager' (aka fileroller)
[08:32] <CartoonCat> wols, also, why would it have mounted my first partition correctly and not the 2nd?
[08:32] <wols> CartoonCat: dunno how the automounter works
[08:32] <prince_jammys> Kartagis: did you install vim?
[08:32] <bbq^> thnks
[08:32] <Kartagis> prince_jammys, when I move around using arrow keys, i get B D etc.
[08:32] <dfccarrion> webguest: no
[08:32] <CartoonCat> wols, ahh
[08:32] <DDR> Hello, all. How do I install the libdvdcss2 stuff so I can watch my DVDs?
[08:32] <Kartagis> prince_jammys, yes. i will use that as wols suggested
[08:32] <Kartagis> tested and approved
[08:32] <DDR> I tried some of the instructions I cound, they did not work miserably.
[08:32] <Kartagis> thanks wols
[08:32] <WebGuest> ok, i have my questions answered now, thanks for the support
[08:32] <wols> !dvd | DDR
[08:32] <dfccarrion> webguest: i forsee a little while before 64bit becomes a standard, and even then it will take awhile eclipse 32bit
[08:32] <Falun> is there any reason I wouldn't be able to link code that uses c-networking functions (like inet_ntoa)?  I've had weird issuses caused by not having dev packages before but can't find what I might be mising.
[08:33] <dfccarrion> bbq: np
[08:33] <koshari> pedro given there proprietry files i would imagine you would have to install the real player
[08:33] <wols> !errors | Falun
[08:33] <WebGuest> good night everybody, tahnks for the great advice
[08:33] <DDR> Thanks, let's see if this works. :)
[08:33] <dfccarrion> webguest: not a problem take it easy
[08:33] <Falun> ubottu -- it's a simple linking error: "undecided reference to inte_ntoa"
[08:33] <Kohlrak-Server> is there any way possible to install the fglrx driver on hardy without reformatting and doing it on gutsy where things work?
[08:33] <pedro> back sorry
[08:34] <koshari> pedro given there proprietry files i would imagine you would have to install the real player
[08:34] <favro> Kohlrak-Server: I haven't found one...
[08:35] <pedro> i kinda have realplayer installed
[08:35] <pedro> that was what i was saying
[08:35] <Kohlrak-Server> favro, if we're lucky, maybe the next release of ubuntu (october something according to wikipedia) will actually be stable
[08:35] <pedro> when i play RMVB on realplayer, its blue, when i open totem it turns fine, ON the realplayer, then i close totem and watch it
[08:36] <favro> Kohlrak-Server: I have not been enjoying hardy at all
[08:36] <pedro> i dont know wth does totem have to do with anything, but hey, it works
[08:36] <prince_jammys> pedro: http://www.simplehelp.net/2007/07/27/how-to-play-rmvb-files-in-ubuntu/
[08:37] <Kohlrak-Server> favro, i was as i could view flash and java fine with a 64bit browser, but the driver issues have been getting worse and worse. It's too much work just to keep your system running now.
[08:37] <pedro> tried that already
[08:37] <pedro> didnt worked
[08:37] <CartoonCat> well that was horibly easy, sudo  chown breadstick:breadstick disk-1
[08:38] <favro> Kohlrak-Server: just before I went back to dapper I was thinking I was spending tooo much time trying to get hardy working
[08:38] <EvaLuaTe> hello
[08:38] <prince_jammys> pedro: there are several other tutorials also if you google 'ubuntu playing rmbv files', if noone here knows.
[08:39] <LSD|Ninja> Is realmedia in the codec packs in the medibuntu repo?
[08:39] <EvaLuaTe> does ubuntu have support for wireless connections? i just ran the ubuntu livecd and couldn't connect to the internet
[08:39] <pedro> but im able to play rmvb files fine, but i get all that trouble of opening two video players and stuff
[08:39] <EvaLuaTe> through wireless that is
[08:39] <Kohlrak-Server> favro: i might just build my own kernel after all this mess. It's rediculous. I've been having more hardware issues on ubuntu than software issues on windows... That's sayin' soemthing.
[08:39] <LSD|Ninja> EvaLuaTe: It depends what wifi chip you have as to how easy it is to get working
[08:39] <pedro> what i was thinking would be if someone knew a way to fix realplayer or totem or something so i wouldn't have to do all that
[08:40] <DrRealHouse> Hi, for those wanting to screencast your desktop as a virtual webcam, it is possible with recordMyDesktop,ffmpeg,flashcam and mjpegtools_yuv_to_v4l.  See http://blog.patrickballeux.com/2008/08/ubuntu-et-une-webcam-virtuelle.html (French) for links and scripts
[08:40] <LSD|Ninja> EvaLuaTe: If it's not supported out of the box then my guess is you probably have a broadcom. What does lspci | grep Ethernet spit back out?
[08:40] <favro> Kohlrak-Server: I believe it is the new x that is the issue
[08:40] <DrRealHouse> It is working with flash site : See http://blog.patrickballeux.com/2008/08/ubuntu-et-une-webcam-virtuelle.html at the bottom, you can see my desktop
[08:41] <prince_jammys> DrRealHouse: spam.
[08:41] <Kohlrak-Server> favro: new X? Why would you want to update a system that works?
[08:41] <EvaLuaTe> LSD|Ninja i have an ASUS X51RL-AP207C, and i can't boot into ubuntu now
[08:41] <garou> Hello again...
[08:41] <DrRealHouse> no, really usefull for a lot of poeple.
[08:41] <DrRealHouse> *people
[08:41] <prince_jammys> DrRealHouse: this isn't a place for you to advertise your blog.
[08:42] <favro> Kohlrak-Server: afaik they are trying to have it configure itself at every boot instead of using xorg.conf
[08:42] <EvaLuaTe> LSD|Ninja: also, i get a warning from ubuntu when i start it, that there are drivers that are not supported by ubuntu, atheros or something like that
[08:42] <bullgard4> What is meant by 'ata port' in a laptop computer?
[08:43] <wols> bullgard4: you've already been answered before. it'S a PATA controller
[08:43] <Kohlrak-Server> favro: that's stupid. The thing could never configure itself correctly in the first place. Why the heck would anyone want to not have a config file to overwrite it with? Isn't that one of the glories of linux, to modify things however you want?
[08:43] <DrRealHouse> prince_jammys: Sorry, I don't want to "advertise my blog", I want to share what I just discovered and is now possible by using existing tool.
[08:43] <pedro> i guess noone can answer my question. how about the fact that sometimes some websites render incorrectly
[08:43] <wols> Kohlrak-Server: xorg.conf is still honored. but by default it auto configs
[08:43] <LSD|Ninja> EvaLuaTe: In that case you should just be able to clike the network manager icon in the menu bar and connect to wireless
[08:43] <pedro> i dont know if its linux, firefox or something
[08:44] <pedro> but on windows they're fine, and i use firefox on windows too
[08:44] <wols> DrRealHouse: you are spamming. so stop it and please don't do it in the future. or your stay here might be cut short
[08:45] <favro> Kohlrak-Server: my sentiment exactly - best its' autoconfig could give me was 640x480
[08:45] <fsloke> Enter want to ask
[08:45] <Kohlrak-Server> wols: it's still rediculous... I'd sooner put time and money into making it more capable of auto configing correctly.
[08:45] <arecibo> how do  schedule a program to run everyday in ubuntu server?
[08:45] <garou> arecibo: cron?
[08:45] <arecibo> thanks
[08:45] <Kohlrak-Server> favro: the best it could do for me was a resolution not even supported by my card. I can't even easily describe what happens
[08:45] <favro> Khisanth: it'll happen in time...
[08:45] <DrRealHouse> wols: then sorry, that was not my intention.
[08:46] <morbyte> hi. i have a fingerprint sensor on my notebook which i will not use. is there a way to disable it completely? atm its just causing wakeups too often (>1/sec) - is there a way to shut down that usb port? (its within the notebook so i cant pull the plug)?
[08:46] <favro> Kohlrak-Server: hardy made me glad I back up things like xorg.conf
[08:46] <Kohlrak-Server> now, i got a white screen every time i try to install the proprietary ati driver, and i can't see what else i could possibly install (installing the free driver doesn't seem to have instructions. seems to depend on the auto config things which is the problem in the first place)
[08:47] <Mahrellon> morbyte: Have you checked the laptop's Bios settings if there is an option to disable it?
[08:47] <Kohlrak-Server> favro: that gave me an idea... maybe i have an old xorg.conf file... But i doubt i'm that lucky
[08:47] <morbyte> Mahrellon: the bios has no options whatsoever
[08:47] <Khisanth> favro: what will?
[08:47] <favro> Kohlrak-Server: did you add fglrx to /etc/modules?
[08:47] <morbyte> Kohlrak-Server: disable your compiz... compiz is known to make whitescreens
[08:47] <favro> Khisanth: sorry - wrong nick :)
[08:47] <fsloke> there?
[08:47] <fsloke> want to ask
[08:48] <Mahrellon> morbyte: Then there's no easy way of disabling it. I'm not sure (and I'm sort of new to linux myself here) if it's possible to remove it from the hardware list in Ubuntu leaving it out of the startup.
[08:48] <fsloke> I install a application using source
[08:48] <Mahrellon> If that makes any sense lol
[08:48] <fsloke> make
[08:48] <fsloke> make install
[08:48] <wols> Kohlrak-Server: what card?
[08:48] <Kohlrak-Server> morbyte: wouldn't it have been disabled upon uninstalling the fglrx (trying to find a faster solution, found out that i coudln't even install it)?
[08:48] <morbyte> Kohlrak-Server: youre able to log in by gdm arent you?
[08:48] <fsloke> If I don't want the program
[08:48] <Sindacious> could anyone tell me where the kernel module loader conf is?
[08:48] <Kohlrak-Server> Xpress 1100 i do believe
[08:48] <fsloke> how can I clean it up ?
[08:49] <Kohlrak-Server> morbyte: yes, i can log in, but that's where the trouble starts
[08:49] <LSD|Ninja> fsloke: if you're lucky you can make uninstall but if you;re not, you're SOL without a reinstall
[08:49] <morbyte> Kohlrak-Server: no. its not problematic for all fglrx
[08:49] <wols> fsloke: depends wholly on the program, not standard way. that's one of the reason we tell people NOT to use make and make install
[08:49] <prince_jammys> fsloke: check the README that came with it.
[08:49] <LSD|Ninja> fsloke: this is why it's not generally a good idea to play games with the package manager
[08:49] <favro> fsloke: try - when your in the same dir as install -  make uninstall
[08:49] <Khisanth> favro: those sort of problems haven't actually affected me :)
[08:50] <EvaLuaTe> LSD|Ninja: when in ubuntu the light for the wireless doesn't even turn on, i think the device is not recognised properly or smth...
[08:50] <morbyte> Kohlrak-Server: me personally, im sometimes able to use compiz, sometimes im not. havent found the cure except stopping use of compiz
[08:50] <morbyte> :/
[08:50] <Kohlrak-Server> morbyte: i've found that it causes flicker, maybe i'll be lucky for once today and this'll work
[08:51] <Kohlrak-Server> i wish i could see this terminal window as well (don't know what the heck is wrong with it... for some reason the font in the terminal is twice as big as it should be, so my screen doesn't scroll with it)
[08:51] <Kohlrak-Server> oh well, it should be uninstalling
[08:52] <favro> Kohlrak-Server: bad resolution?
[08:52] <domas> hi! is there a standard way to purge APT package archive, or has that to be done manually? how can one disable the archive entirely?
[08:52] <LSD|Ninja> EvaLuaTe: The activity light/killswitch are usually software controlled. If they don't work then that doesn't necessarily mean the card isn't working. If Ubuntu is telling you it's using the Atheros HAL for it then chances are it's working fine. Check with the Network Manager to make sure.
[08:52] <Kohlrak-Server> favro: yulp, but in the terminal =p
[08:52] <morbyte> Mahrellon: thanks for your suggestions :) although im quite confident theres no option for that stuff in the bios i go digging for it (and for an alternate bios)
[08:52] <Mahrellon> morbyte: You're most welcome m8. Hope you find a solution for it :)
[08:53] <wols> domas: apt-get clean. no way to disable that I know of
[08:53] <prince_jammys> domas: perhaps you want 'apt-get clean'. check man apt-get for that and for 'autoclean'
[08:53] <wols> domas: run a cronjob once per day or so
[08:53] <Kohlrak-Server> oh this can't be good... now my panels in gnome are gone... all i did was try to make sure my drawing was off the buffer and it turned into a few years long tyrade looking for the things
[08:54] <Flannel> domas: ther are apt preferences for cache lifetime
[08:54] <domas> not finding in apt-config dump
[08:55] <domas> bah, screw that, will just disable cache entirely
[08:56] <domas> we have local mirror anyway :)
[08:58] <teodor> jhvfjhg
[08:59] <Kohlrak-Server> does anyone know how to reset gnome from the terminal
[09:02] <fsloke> README just said the history of the software
[09:02] <fsloke> cannot uninstall because doesnot have this command or script
[09:02] <favro> any lxde users here? - bugger won't accept any changes I make...
[09:03] <prince_jammys> Kohlrak-Server: you can restart X with cntrl-alt-backspace. it'll send you to the login screen.
[09:03] <favro> fsloke: that'll happen - manual delete is your next option afaik then
[09:04] <DOT3CH> on ubuntu hardy, how would i open up an executable program and edit the code
[09:04] <fsloke> what is "afaik"?
[09:04] <prince_jammys> DOT3CH: if it's in ascii text, open it with a text editor.
[09:04] <favro> DOT3CH: d/load the source and recompile is the norm
[09:04] <prince_jammys> fsloke: as far as i know
[09:05] <favro> fsloke: as far as I know
[09:05] <favro> jinx
[09:05] <fsloke> how about the history or register?
[09:05] <fsloke> in ubuntu?
[09:06] <prince_jammys> no registry in ubuntu. that's a windows thing.
[09:06] <favro> fsloke: linux doesn't work like windows - that's why it is virus free :)
[09:06] <Smileyhehe> linux isnt virus free.
[09:07] <LSD|Ninja> prince_jammys: gconf ;)
[09:07] <prince_jammys> fsloke: read the documentation from where you downloaded it to see what it did and where it put files.
[09:07] <ce_hot> dul_karim
[09:07] <prince_jammys> LSD|Ninja: yep
[09:07] <Kohlrak-Server> anyone ever miss their top and bottom panels?
[09:07] <favro> Smileyhehe: a virus needs to grow to survive - linux viruses die quick
[09:08] <dil_karim> sjkndjnkjfnk
[09:08] <prince_jammys> Kohlrak-Server: compiz has a knack for doing things like that
[09:08] <LSD|Ninja> The virus problem on Linux will grow with market share
[09:08] <Smileyhehe> Aye, they do but linux isnt virus free. + the main theat is root kits.
[09:08] <koshari> fsloke you shouls use checkinstall , that way you can remove the package
[09:08] <Kohlrak-Server> prince_jammys: and same for white screens, so i did a sudo apt-get purge compiz*
[09:08] <prince_jammys> Kohlrak-Server: great idea.
[09:08] <Kohlrak-Server> and, i got rid of my white screens only to find i have no panels left
[09:08] <favro> koshari: they're a diff breed to virus
[09:09] <Kohlrak-Server> aaaaaand, making new ones doesn't seem to be an option
[09:09] <koshari> favro ?
[09:09] <prince_jammys> Kohlrak-Server: after restarting X?
[09:10] <Wespe> hi, what is a reasonable size for /tmp ?
[09:10] <Kohlrak-Server> prince_jammys: the traditional way, control, alt, backspace
[09:10] <LeX``> hello

[09:21] <morbyte> is it possible to tell the acpi thermal module to work with fahrenheit scale instead of celsius? my laptop is shutting down immediatly after booting, telling me that he has 68°C (which is impossible as i have put a lot of icepacks below it :D)
[09:22] <romme> an attempt to update the kernel had gone wrong and now i've booted from the LiveCD. how do i manage packages on my root partition from here?
[09:22] <favro> romme: !chroot

[09:23] <morbyte> romme: im not sure, but i think you have to chroot to your root by mounting it first (on the live cd) and then "chroot /what/ever/dir/"
[09:23] <LeX``> :(
[09:23] <favro> romme: did your live cd have the option to rescue a broken install or similar?
[09:24] <siloko> hello recent update has broken my wireless network - I can connect with previous kernel but not current one
[09:26] <romme> favro: thanks, i've already chrooted. now trying to reinstall the broken packages
[09:27] <siloko> with the current kernel I get weird messages in syslog from the wireless driver e.g.  ipw2200: Unknown symbol ieee80211_wx_get_scan
[09:27] <favro> siloko: if you installed drivers etc to get your wireless working in the previous kernel then you need to do that for each kernel
[09:27] <ushimitsudoki> I have a panel on a second x screen with a quicklauncher applet. But, the applications all launch on the first x screen?
[09:28] <siloko> favro: wireless has worked for past 2 years with many canonical pushed updates . . . nothingnew with the last laot!
