[12:01] <Buzzygirl> hello
[12:01] <YoG> TPGO: btw, both of the also give me: "umount: /dev/sda2 is not mounted (according to mtab)"
[12:01] <dcordes> where can i set which volume is controled by the hotkeys of my keyboard?
[12:01] <AsheD> has anybody here used the id3v2 command?
[12:01] <elfranger> no
[12:01] <YoG> no
[12:01] <elfranger> noone has
[12:01] <conreyt> seb--: it's in /etc/network/interfaces
[12:02] <Buzzygirl> anyone here using Edgy now?
[12:02] <LjL> !edgy > buzzygirl
[12:02] <johnny__> in this statement "in order to install ndiswrapper you need a copy the windows drivers for your Wireless ethernet device" do i need to download the latest driver for my wireless card or ar there actually "windows drivers" that i need???
[12:02] <dbmerk> LjL: Can you help answer an install question?
[12:02] <dcordes> Buzzygirl: i think there are many people here who do. but if you want to discuss edgy related things better go to #ubuntu+1
[12:02] <LjL> !ask
[12:02] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:03] <seb--> conreyt: thanks
[12:03] <dbmerk> i did already
[12:03] <dbmerk> is there a way to force bad block checking when formatting a hard drive? My install is failing when copying files at the same point (70%) no matter the underlying file system (reiserfs or ext3)
[12:03] <YoG> TPGO: are you still here?
[12:03] <conreyt> seb--: no problem :)
[12:03] <TGPO> YoG: here now
[12:03] <johnny__> anyone plz?
[12:03] <YoG> TPGO: I get "umount: /dev/sda2 is not mounted (according to mtab)"
[12:03] <Buzzygirl> I don't use Edgy yet, just wondering if many Ubuntu users do
[12:04] <{_-IcE-_}> talisein: tnx man, managed to solve problem now :)
[12:04] <Buzzygirl> I like Dapper for now
[12:04] <LjL> dbmerk: "fsck -t ext3 -c" i guess
[12:04] <LjL> dbmerk: err, that is "mkfs" not "fsck" ;)
[12:04] <TGPO> johnny__ before playing with ndiswrapper read the install guides on the wiki, repeatedly
[12:04] <dbmerk> ljl: during the install? ok, how do i get to a shell?
[12:04] <johnny__> ic
[12:05] <LjL> dbmerk: ctrl+alt+f2
[12:05] <dbmerk> k, thankx
[12:05] <graveson> i have a firefox extension that i cannot uninstall (unnstall button greyed out) - anyone has any ideason how i can do this
[12:05] <YoG> TPGO: I get "umount: /dev/sda2 is not mounted (according to mtab)"
[12:05] <talisein> {_-IcE-_}: great
[12:05] <LjL> dbmerk: what the mkfs.ext3 manpage says about the "-c" option is "Check the device for bad blocks before creating the file system.  If this option is specified twice, then a slower, read-write test is used instead of a fast read-only test"
[12:05] <RMorris84> Seveas: when im trying to put music on this thing now it says "there isnt enough space" but its 128mb and im just trying to put one mp3 on it
[12:05] <dcordes> Buzzygirl: i tried it. i noticed some small approvements in the apps. but there were a lot of problems like i couldn't install my VGA
[12:05] <dcordes> so i switched back to dapper
[12:05] <{_-IcE-_}> talisein: can you maybe suggest me a decent yet easy to setup webmail pls ?
[12:05] <Seveas> RMorris84, did you format it after messing around with cfdisk?
[12:06] <RMorris84> yes
[12:06] <RMorris84> well i dunno
[12:06] <LjL> dbmerk: (or, for that matter, you could just launch a Gnome terminal, that's as good as a console)
[12:06] <Seveas> RMorris84, then make sure you have ;)
[12:06] <RMorris84> can i do that with cfdisk?
[12:07] <YoG> TPGO: actually, I don't even have /dev/sda1 or 2...
[12:07] <axa-axa> Hi, does anyone know when should the next version of Ubuntu (Edgy Eft) be released?
[12:07] <Seveas> RMorris84, no
[12:07] <LjL> !schedule > axa-axa
[12:07] <axa-axa> !schedule
[12:07] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[12:07] <RMorris84> Seveas: what do i need to use? Disks in admin?
[12:08] <Seveas> RMorris84, or the mkfs command
[12:08] <RMorris84> Seveas: when i went into disks i see it there, and it says .83 mb free lol, but the option for format is greyed out...
[12:09] <yacoob> is there a way to quickly check the contents of _upcoming_ release?
[12:09] <bluk> hi there; i just copied a whole ubuntu partition from one HD to another (cp -a source_part dest_part). It works fine, except i can't see anymore the "graphical init" at bootup or shutdown; it's not critical, but i'd like to understand why
[12:09] <TGPO> YoG: your past my ability then, sorry
[12:09] <dcordes> Seveas: are you the guy with the repository?
[12:09] <LjL> yacoob: you mean check what packages are in Edgy?
[12:09] <graveson> i have a firefox extension that i cannot uninstall (unnstall button greyed out) - anyone has any ideason how i can do this
[12:09] <Yourname> Seveas?
[12:09] <YoG> TPGO: :-( thanx...
[12:09] <yacoob> LjL, yup.
[12:09] <LjL> yacoob: packages.ubuntu.com
[12:09] <Yourname> How can I use apt-get to install a package from somewhere else?
[12:10] <Yourname> Because obviously, network mananger .6.2 is not helping me connect to WPA.
[12:10] <yacoob> LjL, thanks.
[12:10] <YoG> so i'm back to the begining.... can someone help me with usb wlan?
[12:10] <Yourname> My best best is .06.4
[12:10] <LjL> Yourname: you don't. you use dpkg for that. and perhaps you *shouldn't*, since packages that were not intended for ubuntu might break your system
[12:10] <yacoob> Another thing I want to ask; when I leave sources.list as they are after installation, no new version will arrive, only security updates, right?
[12:10] <Yourname> YoG: www.linuxant.org
[12:10] <leal> realplayer 10 without sound...
[12:10] <leal> any tips?
[12:10] <Yourname> LjL: Ok, so how else can I make this same 6.2 work with WPA2?
[12:10] <yacoob> What about universum and multiversum, are those "frozen" too for specific release, or are they a moving target?
[12:10] <Yourname> (My system has wpa_supplicant)
[12:11] <bluk> Yourname, theres a soft named "alien" which converts packages maybe you can get use of this
[12:11] <LjL> Yourname: "dpkg -i <filename>" installs a package that you have downloaded, anyway. it does *not* install the required dependencies, though. you may install them manually, or use the "gdebi" package, which can do that automatically
[12:11] <YoG> Yourname: it's not a problem with setting up one...
[12:11] <LjL> Yourname: as i told you, i have neither network-manager nor gnome nor wifi nor a clue. i'm just warning that third-party packages might break.
[12:11] <Yourname> LjL: I downloaded the latest nm, and converted it to .deb using alien, and it didn't install properly.
[12:12] <Em3rald> LjL:  Unfortunately, I don't have the special "adapter" required for that.  I think I am going to have to find an audio out port from another machine (I have plenty of old hardware laying around) and wire it to the internal audio outputs.
[12:12] <LjL> that doesn't surprise me in the least
[12:12] <YoG> can someone help me with usb wlan locking up after a while?
[12:12] <Will> does anyone know where i can get the drivers for CS4236 sound card?
[12:12] <bluk> YoG, is the lock temporary or not?
[12:12] <TGPO> YoG; have you tried ifup/ifdown?
[12:13] <LjL> Em3rald: couldn't you just buy one of those (cheap) "doubler" adapters?
[12:13] <YoG> bluk: until i remove and reinsert the dongle...
[12:13] <Liuiti> hi hi
[12:13] <YoG> TPGO: doesn't work
[12:13] <Yourname> If someone can tell me, how to connect to WPA using nm 6.2... that's enough, lol
[12:13] <leal> so, realplayer 10 does not work on ubuntu?
[12:13] <LjL> Em3rald: you know, the ones that let two people use two headphones on the same walkman, and such things
[12:14] <sproingie> a splitter
[12:14] <YoG> bluk, TPGO: the only thing that was remotely close to work is "rmmod uhci_hcd" followed by "insmod uhci_hcd"
[12:14] <LjL> rightie
[12:14] <test_> i am trying to save the grub menu.lst but i dont have write access. how do i save it as root?
[12:14] <Em3rald> Ya, I suppose I could ... just thought there was a quick fix.
[12:14] <YoG> TPGO: or removing and inserting the dongle
[12:14] <Liuiti> someone talk to me
[12:14] <LjL> Liuiti: hi.
[12:14] <Em3rald> I live in a small town and such an adapter may not be readily available.
[12:14] <tsoler> hi to all
[12:14] <tsoler> is anyone can help?
[12:14] <Liuiti> hi where you from?
[12:15] <YoG> tsoler, what's the problem?
[12:15] <Will> does anyone know where i can get the drivers for CS4236 sound card?
[12:15] <tsoler> tried to customize my desktop
[12:15] <leal> somebody can tell me if realplayer 10 works on ubuntu or not?
[12:15] <leal> hello!
[12:15] <bluk> YoG, not sure it will help; regularily, wlan devices scan available networks and in some cases (i've seen this problem happens on winxp but it might be more general) this can cause troubles (but i never heard about indefinite lock); you might try to disable autoscan, and see if it behaves differently
[12:15] <Yourname> LjL: Ok, I installed the .deb file using gdebi. Now, how do I access it? Because I don';t see the applet, and so when I type 'nm' it says nm: 'a.out": No such file.
[12:15] <tsoler> now when i minimize firefox is gone
[12:15] <K1765> Can anyone tell me why it says "erroring reading boot cd"
[12:15] <Em3rald> tsoler:  can you alt-tab to it?
[12:16] <TGPO> leal: not every question has a known answer, try it and let us know
[12:16] <Em3rald> leal:  Not sure off hand ....
[12:16] <LjL> Yourname, i don't know. i never used network manager.
[12:16] <Liuiti> How i can modified the logon on my top pannel?
[12:16] <tsoler> yap!!!
[12:16] <Em3rald> leal:  did you use Automatix to install real?
[12:16] <Yourname> sigh
[12:16] <YoG> tsoler, no idea
[12:16] <LjL> !automatix
[12:16] <ubotu> Automatix is an unsupported script that tries to automate the installation of some software. We don't provide support for it in the #ubuntu or #kubuntu channels, try #automatix thanks!
[12:16] <YoG> bluk: who do i do that?
[12:16] <tsoler> alt tab works fine
[12:16] <leal> Em3rald: no, canonical repository.
[12:16] <Em3rald> tsoler:  is it possible that your resolution is gibbled so that your bottom bar is missing?
[12:16] <Liuiti> How i can modified the logon on my top pannel?
[12:17] <bluk> YoG, no idea you will have to figure it out by yourself
[12:17] <heanol_> sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid gein mode master
[12:17] <Em3rald> leal:  realplayer can be a pain in Ubuntu because they don't really work very hard on making a working up-to-date version of it for the Linux world.  However, you might try searching for info on the ubuntuforums.org website forum.
[12:17] <tsoler> i didnt change resolution
[12:17] <heanol_> should that be enough to make my computer act as an access point?
[12:17] <tsoler> but .. i removed the down panel
[12:17] <bluk> but if the delay between two scans seems the same delay that makes wlan locked, they are chances it is related
[12:18] <snottlebocket> hey guys
[12:18] <dbmerk> ljl: one more question - i have a terminal up as the ubuntu user.. try to su to root and need a password, what is the default password for root?
[12:18] <Em3rald> tsoler:  I believe you can add it back by right-clicking on the top one and adding the panel.
[12:18] <leal> Em3rald: ok, thanks.
[12:18] <Em3rald> leal good luck :D
[12:18] <TGPO> dbmerk, your normal password
[12:18] <snottlebocket> first time on ubuntu using the live cd ^^
[12:18] <YoG> bluk: I didn't know about this option at all, but i do have the same problem on windoze.. so maybe thats the solution
[12:18] <dbmerk> my user password?
[12:18] <test_> how do i move a file?
[12:18] <TGPO> dbmerk, yes
[12:18] <dbmerk> thx
[12:18] <slop> test_, mv
[12:19] <bluk> YoG, wish you luck
[12:19] <test_> k
[12:19] <tsoler> its not working emerald
[12:19] <YoG> bluk, thanx :-)
[12:19] <Em3rald> tsoler:  mmm ... hang on dude :D
[12:19] <tsoler> ive i added a panel on the bottom
[12:19] <TGPO> icky, 20 more meg of dev files to d/l
[12:19] <profoX`> Seveas: is falcon no available for edgy somewhere?
[12:20] <Liuiti> How i can modified the logon on my top pannel?
[12:20] <profoX`> s/no/not
[12:20] <Gumby> lo all.  I am trying to figure out why samba isnt starting at boot time.  I have checked sysv-rc-conf and it shows it as starting in runlevels 2 through 5.  Am I missing something as to why it isnt starting at boot time?
[12:20] <tsoler> is there a reset button?
[12:20] <Em3rald> tsoler:  Okay, now you can "reconstruct" the bar I believe by "add to panel" and adding the appropriate things from the menu there.
[12:20] <LjL> !root > Em3rald
[12:20] <bluk> why did the "graphical form" of init went away from my system after having transferred it between two HDs ?
[12:20] <TGPO> Liuiti: you log in screen?
[12:20] <LjL> Em3rald: there is no password. use sudo.
[12:21] <tsoler> yes i can add items but how do i keep firefox ?
[12:21] <Tilde> lut
[12:21] <Ropechoborra> !edgy
[12:21] <ubotu> edgy is the current development version of Ubuntu. Version 6.10, codename "Edgy Eft". For support head to #ubuntu+1. For its release schedule, see !schedule
[12:21] <LjL> Em3rald: whoops, i'm sorry. wrong nickname :-)
[12:21] <Ropechoborra> !schedule
[12:21] <ubotu> Ubuntu uses a strict timetable for releases, which means that sometimes newly released programs miss the timetable. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TimeBasedReleases for more. Edgy schedule: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EdgyReleaseSchedule
[12:21] <Em3rald> LjL:  haha ... no problem :D
[12:21] <YoG> does anyone here knows how to disable wlan autoscan?
[12:21] <Liuiti> yes
[12:21] <LjL> dbmerk: use sudo, there is no root password
[12:22] <test_> how do i kill job 1
[12:22] <tsoler> ubotu
[12:22] <Em3rald> tsoler:  Okay ... not entirely sure actually.  let me fuddle a bout for a second.
[12:22] <tsoler> ??
[12:22] <test_> jobs still shows job 1 after kill 1
[12:22] <TGPO> Liuiti: go to the screen and on the bottom left there is an options button, you can change lots of things for it there
[12:22] <bluk> or, more simple, how is the GUI version of init called/invoked ?
[12:22] <Em3rald> tsoler:  I am just messing with my own desktop to see if I can figure out whats up.
[12:22] <LjL> test_: "kill 1" will kill *process* number 1 (i.e. init), and not *job* number 1
[12:23] <tsoler> thanks emerald
[12:23] <Em3rald> NP dude :D
[12:23] <shadowhywind> does anyone know how to unzip 7zip?
[12:23] <LjL> test_: i *think* it's "kill %1"
[12:23] <tiredbones> how do I get the whole cd to play instead of just one track? I don't see anything in sound juicer that lets me do that.
[12:23] <K1765> Anyone know what it says "error loading boot cd", the iso wasnt corrupt...ive done memtest, and everythin
[12:23] <SonicChao> !7zip
[12:23] <ubotu> Files with extensions .tar, .gz, .tgz, .zip, .bz2, .7z, .ace and other archive file formats can be opened with file-roller (gnome) or ark (kde) - also see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FileCompression
[12:23] <Em3rald> tsoler:  Okay, I think the one you want is right-click on the appropriate bar (your new one) and add-to-panel, then ....
[12:24] <snottlebocket> due to the lack of windows fonts on ubuntu a lot of websites are looking really crummy, can i just install fonts to fix that?
[12:24] <test_> thanks LjL
[12:24] <Liuiti> but i want to modified the logon ubuntu to logon apple
[12:24] <Em3rald> tsoler:  ... then go down to Window List and add that to the panel.
[12:24] <K1765> Anyone know what it says "error loading boot cd", the iso wasnt corrupt...ive done memtest, and everythin
[12:24] <Em3rald> tsoler:  This is assuming I understand your predicament lol.
[12:24] <YoG> does anyone here knows how to disable wlan autoscan?
[12:25] <tsoler> emerald where is that window list?
[12:25] <K1765> Anyone know what it says "error loading boot cd", the iso wasnt corrupt...ive done memtest, and everythin
[12:25] <mcphail> snottlebocket: there is a ms fonts package
[12:25] <shadowhywind> ark doesn't let me uncompress it any ideas?
[12:25] <tsoler> you mean window selector??
[12:25] <Em3rald> Should be right to the left of that.
[12:25] <tonyyarusso> Does anyone know how to fix this?:  HP Pavilion dv4150us laptop; gets really hot and then the fan finally kicks in (hard), cools it off, and stops, rather than running more frequently or continuously at a lower speed.
[12:25] <Liuiti> but i don't understand how i do this
[12:25] <YoG> bluk: coming to think about it, the connection holds as long as there is now/little traffic on it, so if you say it should appear periodically, maybe thats not the problem?
[12:25] <snottlebocket> does ubuntu have a maximum screen resolution of only 1024?
[12:26] <K1765> Anyone know why it says "error loading boot cd", the iso wasnt corrupt...ive done memtest, and everythin, what could this mean?
[12:26] <bluk> YoG, good point :-(
[12:26] <TGPO> K1765, did you perchance d/l the 64bit version and are trying to boot onto a 32bit comp? tried that once with horrific results
[12:26] <Em3rald> snottlebocket:  no, but you may have to manually edit your xorg.conf file for that.  Its an annoyance, but I believe it may be fixed in the next release .... maybe.
[12:26] <LjL> shadowhywind: sudo apt-get install p7zip
[12:26] <conreyt> snottlebocket: nope
[12:26] <YoG> bluk: dang
[12:26] <K1765> Nope, I have the intel x86 version
[12:26] <YoG> bluk: I'm getting frustrated...
[12:26] <snottlebocket> fair enough, right now i'm just looking around using the live cd to see if ubuntu is for me
[12:26] <shadowhywind> thanks, i found the directions, hehe
[12:26] <clearzen> Could anyone tell me how to setup automatic backups of my laptop system/config files to my server?
[12:27] <dcordes> clearzen: what kind of server do you have?
[12:27] <Liuiti> somebody help me?
[12:27] <Em3rald> snottlebucket:  cool.  When you finally install it, do some searching on the ubuntuforums.org forum for specific instructions on how to do stuff like editing your xorg.conf file.  Super easy
[12:27] <bluk> YoG, if you have the exact same problem in windows, maybe it's not software-related.. meaning it could be hardware problem. Do you have another wlan device?
[12:27] <clearzen> ubuntu server
[12:27] <K1765> Anyone know why it says "error loading boot cd", the iso wasnt corrupt...ive done memtest, and everythin, what could this mean?
[12:27] <ianmacgregor> !backup > clearzen
[12:27] <TGPO> K1765: well there is always the option of downloading and burning the iso again, if it doesnt like that CD there isnt anything that you can do to change it
[12:27] <snottlebocket> i will, thanks em
[12:27] <Em3rald> No problem my friend :D
[12:28] <K1765> I've tried 4 different cd's TGPO
[12:28] <snottlebocket> right now i'm just running into a lot of stuff that seems to be windows/mac only like my graphics programs and my wacom drivers
[12:28] <YoG> bluk: yes, and its doing the same (on windoze, didnt try it on linux)
[12:28] <Em3rald> tsoler:  how ya doing?
[12:28] <K1765> same thing happens
[12:28] <snottlebocket> i heard about Wine but it seems a bit pointless to run ubuntu only to emulate windows most of the time
[12:28] <TGPO> K1765: from the same download?
[12:28] <tsoler> trying
[12:28] <Em3rald> snottlebocket:  there are usually workarounds for just about anything.
[12:28] <K1765> Different dl's
[12:28] <ianmacgregor> K1765: Did you use Firefox for all those downloads?
[12:29] <Em3rald> tsoler:  you don't have the "window list" in your Add-To-Panel options?
[12:29] <sethk> K1765, could be that either the reader drive, or the burner drive is slightly out of alignment
[12:29] <mcphail> snottlebocket: within a couple of months of using ubuntu, there will be several programs you would miss if you went back to windows :)
[12:29] <K1765> Yes, but I checked them with md5sum and they were fine
[12:29] <marijn> !w32codecs
[12:29] <ubotu> For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats  -  See also http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/common-tasks-chap.html  -  But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats
[12:29] <tsoler> one moment please
[12:29] <YoG> bluk: it seems that removing the dongle and reinserting it brings the connection back to life... do you think of a way of making ubuntu think i did that?
[12:29] <Em3rald> snottlebocket:  Yeah, but thre are equivalent programs for almost everything, just takes some time to find your favorites.
[12:29] <sethk> K1765, that problem isn't caused by a bad image file
[12:29] <TGPO> K1765: go look at your bios, check the drive settings (not boot options) see id there is some tweaking you can do in there
[12:30] <tsoler> i ve added all window options,
[12:30] <johnny__> i download ndsiwrapper to my desktop and i am having a problem with extracting it from terminal with this cmd "tar -zxvf ndiswrapper-version.tar.gz" is ndsiwrapper suppose to be in a certain directory for the terminal to read it?
[12:30] <snottlebocket> oh i'm sure there's equivelants for a lot of the basic stuff but i'm doing flash development along with a bunch of windows and mac users, i doubt i could entirely get rid of using macromedia flash'  writing program
[12:30] <LjL> snottlebocket: i doubt that too
[12:30] <tsoler> window list , window selection and workspace switcer
[12:30] <snottlebocket> for example i have no problem with open office instead of word
[12:30] <bluk> YoG, you told it before: rmmod / insmod
[12:30] <Em3rald> Unfortunately Macromedia hasn't been so good for Linux.
[12:30] <sethk> snottlebocket, in your case, that's correct, it isn't really practical
[12:31] <mcphail> snottlebocket: might be worth dual booting
[12:31] <sethk> unfortunate
[12:31] <YoG> bluk: that doesn't work always...
[12:31] <Em3rald> tsoler:  Alrighty, so ... what are you missing now ... perhaps I am not fully understanding your problem.
[12:31] <Liuiti> someone help me please?
[12:31] <TGPO> johnny__ you have to be in the same folder. use pwd to find out where you are and then cd to chnge directories
[12:31] <LjL> dual boot, or perhaps use a VM, if Wine fails..
[12:31] <tsoler> its working emerald
[12:31] <AsheD> if I am using rsync to copy a folder on my PC to a online host, and I change a small part of the file on my PC, will rsync re-upload the entire file, or just change the edited part?
[12:31] <bluk> maybe set a 5 seconds pause between the two: sleep 5
[12:31] <sethk> Liuiti, only if you ask a question
[12:31] <Em3rald> Liuiti:  whassup?
[12:31] <johnny__> k
[12:31] <Em3rald> tsoler:  YAY!
[12:31] <mcphail> AsheD: just the edited part
[12:31] <tsoler> its not the same as before
[12:31] <AsheD> mcphail:: excellent, thanks
[12:32] <Em3rald> tsoler:  what's different?
[12:32] <snottlebocket> yeah, i'm just wondering about the practicality of using wine or dual booting, basically i'd end up wanting to use ubuntu but spending most of my working time back in windows or emulating windows
[12:32] <tsoler> but i think i can walk along
[12:32] <Liuiti> How i can modified the logon on my top pannel?
[12:32] <Em3rald> tsoler:  excellent, don't be afraid to keep asking ... though I may not be here much longer.
[12:32] <mcphail> AsheD: http://samba.anu.edu.au/rsync/tech_report/ is interesting reading
[12:32] <tsoler> the difference is that when i minimize a window its not sitting in the panel
[12:32] <LjL> snottlebocket: well, that's up to you -- if *most* of what you use your computer for requires windows, then there is not much point switching.
[12:32] <sethk> Liuiti, not sure what you mean.
[12:32] <snottlebocket> random question but who is unbuntu for really because clearly someone in say the graphics industry would spend too much time switching or emulating to make it an efficient choice
[12:33] <Em3rald> snottlebocket:  Well, I would get into using vmware and instaling windows thru it.
[12:33] <bluk> but, YoG, even if this works, it's just a workaround; would be better to find what's the real quirk
[12:33] <Em3rald> tsoler:  wierd.
[12:33] <bod_> snottlebocket: what do you use windows for?
[12:33] <sethk> snottlebocket, I mostly work on embedded systems, and the last few projects I've done have all been linux
[12:33] <TGPO> sethk: he want to change the login screen from gdm appearance to mac appearance
[12:33] <Liuiti> i want to modified the logon ubuntu to logon apple on thw top pannel
[12:33] <LjL> snottlebocket, it is for many people. it tries to be for as many as possible. for Flash developers, however, it's probably not optimal.
[12:33] <tsoler> i mean that if i remove window list i would not be able to find my windows
[12:33] <snottlebocket> i suppose i use windows because it's the most widely used OS here and it let's me use all the common programs in my line of work
[12:33] <johnny__> johnny@linux-box:~$ cd /desktop
[12:33] <johnny__> bash: cd: /desktop: No such file or directory
[12:34] <sethk> Liuiti, it can be done but I'm not familiar enough with the details to tell you how to do it.
[12:34] <ianmacgregor> snottlebocket: I have been using Linux for about 7 years. Currently I use Ubuntu for all the work I do: Grapgics design, web surfing, email, chatting, software design, website design, etc. I haven't touched Windows in about 9 years and I won't go back.
[12:34] <YoG> bluk: i'll be happy if i didn't have to go to that computer and removing and inserting the dongle every 10 minutes (though my girl friend is happy that i'm doing some excercize ;-)
[12:34] <bod_> snottlebocket: such as
[12:34] <XVampireX> johnny__,  just Desktop
[12:34] <clearzen> !backup
[12:34] <ubotu> There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi
[12:34] <AsheD> mcphail:: I think you and I may have different definitions of the word "interesting" :P
[12:34] <LjL> johnny__: case matters in Linux. it's Desktop
[12:34] <johnny__> k
[12:34] <mcphail> AsheD: :)
[12:34] <Em3rald> tsoler:  Yeah.  But the original bar is just a bar with that embedded in it anyway.  You can move components of a bar around too if that helps.
[12:34] <XVampireX> johnny__, cd Desktop
[12:34] <TGPO> johnny__: cd /home/johnny/Desktop
[12:34] <binfalse1> johnny__: cd Desktop    (with a capital D and without the /)
[12:34] <XVampireX> johnny__, It's case sensitive
[12:34] <tsoler> anyway emerald we didnt restore it , but i thing its much better this way
[12:34] <mcphail> AsheD: i should get out more...
[12:34] <jbmigel> snottlebocket can you take your troll to ubuntu-offtopic please
[12:34] <johnny__> ohh
[12:34] <johnny__> ok
[12:34] <Em3rald> tsoler:  haha, yay!
[12:35] <AsheD> mcphail:: me too
[12:35] <tsoler> xaxa
[12:35] <tsoler> ok
[12:35] <sethk> snottlebocket, but we still need windows, for the PCB layout, CAD programs, lot's of things unfortunately.
[12:35] <Em3rald> tsoler:  have you gotten into using multiple desktops yet?  ctrl-alt-(left or right arrow)
[12:35] <snottlebocket> Ian don't you run into trouble making products that are meant to reach the masses while working on a system that is far less widespread, i'm just trying it out for half an hour but allready i ran into java problems, sites rendering badly due to lack of fonts and an outdated flash plugin
[12:35] <tsoler> hey guys you are really helpfull here
[12:35] <Em3rald> tsoler:  we're all just users like you ... perhaps you will be helping someone someday too :D
[12:36] <ianmacgregor> snottlebocket: To be honest, I don't care if Windows users can't see the stuff I design. As long as Linux users can use my stuff, then I am happy.
[12:36] <XVampireX> snottlebocket, You're talking about silly problems that don't really exist, don't forget, linux is not windows. So you do things differently on linux.
[12:36] <TGPO> snottlebocket: your running from a liveCD, means the OS is running from a slow as heck CD drive, you were expecting warp speed?
[12:36] <dcordes> where can i set which volume is controled by the hotkeys of my keyboard?
[12:36] <johnny__> ok i have the ndiswrapper-1.27.tar.gz on my desktop
[12:36] <Em3rald> snottlebocket:  that's partly because a lot of fonts and other stuff are very proprietary, and Ubuntu is all about "legally free" until you add extra repositories and stuff.
[12:36] <johnny__> johnny@linux-box:~/Desktop$ tar -zxvf ndiswrapper-version.tar.gz
[12:36] <johnny__> tar: ndiswrapper-version.tar.gz: Cannot open: No such file or directory
[12:36] <johnny__> tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now
[12:36] <tsoler> thank you
[12:36] <snottlebocket> actually i never complained about the speed TGPO
[12:36] <johnny__> tar: Child returned status 2
[12:36] <LjL> snottlebocket, yes we do. it's unfortunate, but when products are proprietary, the best we can do is try and create free alternatives -- which is not always fast or easy. anyway, this discussion is getting way too offtopic for here, use #ubuntu-offtopic
[12:36] <johnny__> tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors
[12:36] <XVampireX> snottlebocket, Don't forget about Flash 9 beta
[12:36] <Em3rald> tsoler:  You are very welcome :D
[12:36] <mcphail> snottlebocket: flash9 is now available. Whilst you are correct that the windows fonts are better than those shipped with ubuntu, the MS fonts are easily installed
[12:37] <TGPO> snottlebocket: you just did, with the lagging problems from some sites
[12:37] <snottlebocket> allright, i'll stop polluting the channel, i think i heard what i needed anyway
[12:37] <jbmigel> dont feed the trolls guys... like you can convince him in irc
[12:37] <tsoler> do you think multiple deskttops are usefull?? very first time to use such thing
[12:37] <Em3rald> tsoler:  YES!
[12:37] <TGPO> tsoler, after you get used to it, you'll wonder how you ever lived without
[12:37] <mcphail> tsoler: emphatically yes
[12:37] <Em3rald> tsoler:  it takes time to really get efficient with them though.
[12:37] <johnny__> how come i am getting an error?
[12:37] <snottlebocket> i didn't need convincing, i needed some information, i think i'll put ubuntu on my laptop and keep the pc for my work that requires windows a bit more, i wasn't being critical in a bad way
[12:38] <sethk> tsoler, most people I work with put a multiple desktop feature onto their windows box
[12:38] <XVampireX> tsoler, I don't use them
[12:38] <Em3rald> tsoler:  it's funny ... any time I am helping a windows friend, I am always trying to switch desktops and use the top bar which doesn't exist in Windows LOL
[12:38] <LjL> johnny__, i doubt that your files is actually called "ndiswrapper-version.tar.gz"
[12:38] <tsoler> dont what to do with them!! seems im not that multi tasking
[12:38] <johnny__> ohh ok
[12:38] <sethk> Em3rald, it does exist, but you have to install it separately
[12:38] <johnny__> kk
[12:38] <balay3> hello
[12:38] <mcphail> snottlebocket: it is reasonable to have doubts :) - Ubuntu is not ideal for everyone, but it doesn't hurt to try it!
[12:38] <gnomefreak> johnny__: is it tar.bz2?
[12:38] <Em3rald> snottlebocket:  meh ... some of us get a little touchy about the whole "ubuntu is ugly" problem LOL ....
[12:38] <jpjacobs> snottlebocket, if you're interested, flash9beta for linux is out, there is even a ubuntu-package for it (just don't remember the repo)
[12:38] <johnny__> .gz
[12:38] <sethk> tsoler, depends on what you are doing.  I have one for programming, one for documentation, one for email/web, and one for photography
[12:39] <LjL> !flash9
[12:39] <ubotu> Flash player 9 beta has been released. You can download it here: http://seveas.imbrandon.com/dists/dapper-seveas/custom/ (replace dapper-seveas with edgy-seveas for edgy)
[12:39] <Em3rald> sethk:  I know, I had it with my nVidia video card, but it's performance was retarded.
[12:39] <jpjacobs> there you go
[12:39] <johnny__> i understand now
[12:39] <tsoler> do u use all that now??
[12:39] <Em3rald> tsoler:  yes
[12:39] <snottlebocket> nope, like i said it seems perfectly acceptable for regular use and work and i'm defenitly a big fan of all the open source / non propriatry stuff, it just doesn't suit my needs for my graphical work
[12:39] <gnomefreak> johnny__: i would look for a different tar. i just made a tar and it was messed up cause i made it with cvvf and tar -xvzf couldnt untar it i changed the way i compressed it and poof it worked
[12:39] <snottlebocket> so i'll stick ubuntu on the laptop and keep windows on the pc, it'll let me make a nice comparison over time
[12:39] <binfalse1> johnny__: by the way, you can use the TAB key to complete files names and directory names in the shell
[12:40] <LjL> snottlebocket: sounds like a good idea
[12:40] <Em3rald> snottlebocket:  I bet its less than 6 months before you have Ubuntu on your production machine haha ;)
[12:40] <bod_> Just do like I did and buy 5 computers with a multitude of OS' to play with at once :)
[12:40] <jbmigel> snottlebocket if your not happy with the available open source softwares you are welciome to buy adobe and give away their source
[12:40] <TGPO> snottlebocket: thats the spirit, and if you beat on it enough you'll end up finding ways to do what you want with linux instead, 6 months tops
[12:40] <sethk> snottlebocket, install cygwin on your windows box, makes windows less painful.
[12:40] <tsoler> to be honest im trying to set up a gis on ubuntu, thats my intention
[12:40] <bod_> adobe runs fine in wine... whats all the fuss
[12:41] <gnomefreak> sethk: no such thing as less painless in windows :)
[12:41] <tsoler> but dont know how to hung around yet xaxa
[12:41] <tsoler> its all about maps
[12:41] <gnomefreak> tsoler: what is gis?
[12:41] <binfalse1> gnomefreak: there is a windows port of less, btw  .:)
[12:41] <tsoler> mapping etc
[12:41] <gnomefreak> ah
[12:41] <LjL> gnomefreak: geographical information system
[12:41] <Em3rald> tsoler:  as in google-earth style stuff?
[12:41] <tsoler> yes
[12:41] <binfalse1> gnomefreak: and pain doesn't need to be ported ;)
[12:42] <Em3rald> brb
[12:42] <capgadget> gis tells you everything you want to know except where you left your keys.
[12:42] <johnny__> how do i go back to defaul directory in terminal
[12:42] <tsoler> google is on the top, im just a normal user
[12:42] <johnny__> i tried cd johnny
[12:42] <LjL> johnny__: cd ~
[12:42] <tonyyarusso> Does anyone know how to fix this?:  HP Pavilion dv4150us laptop; gets really hot and then the fan finally kicks in (hard), cools it off, and stops, rather than running more frequently or continuously at a lower speed.
[12:42] <snottlebocket> the multiple workspace thingy lower right is sweet
[12:42] <TGPO> XVampireX cant reply to PMs sorry
[12:42] <pak-x> hi
[12:42] <binfalse1> johnny__: cd   (without parameters)
[12:42] <johnny__> kk
[12:42] <elfranger> zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
[12:42] <tsoler> but on windows very slow processing
[12:42] <LjL> johnny__: or for that matter, cd /home/johnny (that's the correct path)
[12:42] <Rozabela> hi, anyone want to offer help to a first time ubuntu user?
[12:42] <XVampireX> TGPO, I'm someone who tries to help get K1765 to Ubuntu, I couldn't help him with booting problems so told him to come here but it seems like not many could help though you mentioned that he should look into the bios
[12:42] <LjL> !ask
[12:42] <ubotu> Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[12:42] <tsoler> i ve made some post on google
[12:43] <Liuiti> someone know about aiglx?
[12:43] <tsoler> google earth i mean
[12:43] <LjL> !aiglx > Liuiti
[12:43] <gnomefreak> elfranger: please dont do that there is no need to post so many of same letter or number
[12:43] <Hitch> sure Rozabela
[12:43] <johnny__> tyty
[12:43] <binfalse1> johnny__: you want to learn the difference between absolute and relative paths
[12:43] <elfranger> gnomefreak: sorry, it was just an outburst
[12:43] <bod_> The problems with windows guys is that there in a comfort zone that says, I dont quite know how to get linux to do what i want right now and iam not ready to learn how. I realy want to cross over but I just cant be arsed...
[12:43] <Em3rald> Tony:  Not sure my friend ... is this exclusive to Linux for you?
[12:43] <XVampireX> TGPO: "didnt see driver settings anywhere"
[12:43] <johnny__> ok
[12:43] <sethk> XVampireX, no, it's not a bios issue
[12:43] <tsoler> if i can mount my disks i will sent you some data gnomefreak
[12:44] <XVampireX> sethk, so what is it?
[12:44] <Will> how do i get a custom theme in gnome ubuntu 6.6?
[12:44] <tonyyarusso> Em3rald: It's a friend's machine actually, but yes.  She dual-boots with Win XP, and it's fine there.
[12:44] <Rozabela> hitch: my linux partion isn't detecting my network card
[12:44] <elfranger> can I add a HDD to a running ubuntu server?
[12:44] <Will> ive gone to gnome-look
[12:44] <johnny__> binfalse1: Yea
[12:44] <Will> but dont know what ot download
[12:44] <Rozabela> i don't know why
[12:44] <Will> *to
[12:44] <sethk> XVampireX, could be a slight misalignment between the burner and the cd reader.  I have seen a couple of cases of this type of behavior that were fixed by using the proper jumper settings for the drive.
[12:44] <LjL> !changethemes > will
[12:44] <TGPO> XVampireX yes, sometimes you can make bios tweaks to the drive settings that will allow it to work under other circumstances, LBA, and such
[12:44] <pak-x> i wanted to install gnome 2.16.1, but as i typed ./configure he says, that a parser perl module is required for intltool, so a googled and found a download XML-Parser 2.34, but after a run the Makefile, I typed make, but he dont know make? why
[12:44] <Will> i know
[12:44] <Em3rald> tony:  I remember reading a similar problem in ubuntuforums.org ....... if no one knows here, you could try there.
[12:44] <sethk> XVampireX, specifically, if the drive is connected with an EIDE cable, make sure it's jumpered for cable select
[12:44] <Will> but what do i download to get the theme
[12:45] <Hitch> what is your network card?
[12:45] <Em3rald> tsoler:  which drives are you trying to mount?
[12:45] <Will> what format
[12:45] <bluk> sorry to ask this again, but i saw no answer yet; how come the nice graphical version of INIT has gone off? (after moving the system from one hd to another)
[12:45] <Will> GTK
[12:45] <Will> or somthing
[12:45] <TGPO> XVampireX its not about changing a driver, but tweaking the bios
[12:45] <LjL> !enter
[12:45] <ubotu> Please don't use the "enter" key as punctuation! It spams the channel and can be annoying.
[12:45] <sethk> XVampireX, it's not impossible that switching DMA off (in the BIOS setting for the drive) would help, but the odds aren't great.
[12:45] <tsoler> my ntfs drives
[12:45] <XVampireX> Thanks
[12:45] <tonyyarusso> Em3rald: Already have, and came up with answers for other brands, but not HPs.
[12:45] <elfranger> http://www.mimoco.com/swlanding.htm
[12:45] <XVampireX> Gotta catch him online now, don't know where he went :P
[12:45] <Em3rald> tsoler:  easy stuff:  there's a cool howto about using ntfs-3g on the forum ... I will see if I can find a link.
[12:45] <TGPO> to look at his bios
[12:45] <tsoler> any suggestions emerald
[12:46] <sethk> XVampireX, tell him to try burning the CD at the lowest available speed setting, say 4x.

[12:46] <pak-x> what does  XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool means and what can i do?
[12:46] <binfalse1> johnny__: absolute paths always begin with a "/" and start from the root directory (example: /etc/X11). relative paths are relative to the current directory (examples: Desktop, ../bin, .)

[12:48] <mcquaid> hello, i have dapper on my main drive and edgy on a second drive, when I installed edgy i let it rewrite the mbr so it's now reading edgy's menu.1st
[12:48] <binfalse1> i wonder why people still stick to a braindead protocol like ftp
[12:48] <XVampireX> hehe
[12:48] <tsoler> do u see ntfs emerald?
[12:48] <mcquaid> i am now removing the drive with edgy, so I need to rewrite grub, how do I do this?
[12:48] <sethk> binfalse1, they know how to use it, is the main reason.
[12:49] <LjL> !grub > mcquaid
[12:49] <bluk> sorry but was my question stupid or bad formulated or both ? :)
[12:49] <sethk> mcquaid, you can do it with the grub utility.
[12:49] <Em3rald> tsoler:  can you see it with Ubuntu's disk manager?  system>admin>disks?
[12:49] <binfalse1> sethk: then they deserve their passwords to be stolen
[12:49] <johnny__> ok by extracting the ndiswrapper it is suppose to create a directory... so i typed in cd ndiswrapper-1.27
[12:49] <tsoler> no
[12:49] <LjL> bluk: what is the "graphical version of INIT"?
[12:49] <sethk> binfalse1, no disagreement here.  I don't allow it on any system I'm responsible for.
[12:50] <tsoler> only sees that one im working in right now
[12:50] <Em3rald> tsoler:  wierd ............
[12:50] <johnny__> johnny@linux-box:~$ cd ndiswrapper-1.27
[12:50] <johnny__> bash: cd: ndiswrapper-1.27: No such file or directory
[12:50] <tsoler> and its not ntfs
[12:50] <tsoler> its etc3?? or something like that
[12:50] <mcquaid> sethk, LjL I know there are guides to fixing the mbr if one installed windows or whatever, but I haven't screwed it up yet, so instead of doing a live cd thing I'd rather rewrite the mbr while I'm booted in dapper now
[12:50] <LjL> johnny__: type "ls". you should see a list of the directories that you really do have.
[12:50] <mcquaid> sethk, so what do I run just grub?
[12:50] <Em3rald> tsoler:  yeah, ext3 is the usual for Linux.
[12:51] <LjL> mcquaid: i think the page covers that. anyway, i think you want the grub-install command.
[12:51] <johnny__> ok
[12:51] <Em3rald> tsoler:  what if you type this in your command prompt:
[12:51] <sethk> mcquaid, you run grub, then you use the  root   and   setup    commands
[12:51] <bluk> LjL: usually in most distros, init is in text mode. but in Ubuntu, theres a nice graphical version of it, at start, with a progress bar and all that
[12:51] <johnny__> its there
[12:51] <lenath> sethk: can you point me to the right method for building it? Are we talkin compilation here?
[12:51] <johnny__> :)
[12:51] <sethk> mcquaid, if you config file is set correctly, that's all there is to it.
[12:51] <sethk> lenath, yes
[12:51] <{_-IcE-_}> can any1 give me a hand on dovecot pls? im trying to set some pop accounts, if i select Standard Unix user database for users and unix shadow file for passwords through webmin, what do i have to put for userdb and passdb in the config?
[12:51] <Em3rald> sudo fdisk -l | grep NTFS
[12:51] <LjL> bluk: init is still init. there is simply a program called "usplash" that provides a splash screen
[12:51] <fangbite> I have a problem. I installed ubuntu w/ the alternate CD, it asked for a password for a user, but not a username. How can I fix this?
[12:51] <sethk> lenath, typically a tar.gz file contains source that needs to be compiled.
[12:51] <mcquaid> sethk, uh what root and setup cmds?
[12:52] <bluk> and it disappeared since i transferred the system on another HD, i can't figure out why
[12:52] <Hitch> mcquaid, where did u get the edgy from?
[12:52] <johnny__> johnny@linux-box:~$ ls
[12:52] <johnny__> broken 3  Desktop           mkdev.sh      ndiswrapper-1.27.tar.gz
[12:52] <LjL> bluk: the system itself works alright?
[12:52] <johnny__> Command:  diggnation64      mkdev.sh~     TheBroken Ep4
[12:52] <johnny__> Default   Linux Wallpapers  My Documents
[12:52] <LjL> !paste
[12:52] <ink251> Hey, in 6.06 is there any tool similar to the windows
[12:52] <ubotu> pastebin is a service to post large texts so you don't flood the channel. The Ubuntu pastebin is at http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org (you can always find it in the channel topic, among other useful things)
[12:52] <lenath> sethk: all right, ill investigate this and let u know how it goes...
[12:52] <johnny__> johnny@linux-box:~$ cd ndiswrapper-1.27.tar.gz
[12:52] <johnny__> bash: cd: ndiswrapper-1.27.tar.gz: Not a directory
[12:52] <dcordes> !ntfs
[12:52] <ubotu> To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions  -  See also !fuse
[12:52] <binfalse1> johnny__: btw, why do you want to build ndiswrapper from source? there is a ready-build ubuntu package for that
[12:52] <ink251> "search for files containing"
[12:52] <tsoler> sorry one moment
[12:52] <sethk> lenath, ok
[12:52] <mcquaid> Hitch, I grabbed the alt cd and installed it from that
[12:52] <bluk> indeed it works fine; it's no critical problem... but i'm curious :)
[12:52] <dcordes> !fuse
[12:52] <ubotu> Though it's still very unsafe, you can read about Ubuntu NTFS writing here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lkraider/NtfsFuse
[12:52] <johnny__> is there
[12:52] <XVampireX> johnny__, .tar.gz files are not directories, they are archives
[12:52] <tsoler> few its getting too many messages here
[12:52] <johnny__> well i was talking about ndiswrrapper
[12:52] <johnny__> and someone said to read the wiki
[12:53] <Em3rald> tsoler:  np
[12:53] <johnny__> and thats what i am doing
[12:53] <johnny__> :/
[12:53] <bod_> find [-H]  [-L]  [-P]  [path...]  [expression]
[12:53] <watson540> johnny__:: thats not a gfolder you goof
[12:53] <XVampireX> johnny__, read it carefully then
[12:53] <mcquaid> sethk, ok I think I have it figured out, now my next thing is I want to put this drive with edgy in a new computer, it never had the mbr written to it
[12:53] <fangbite> Anyone?
[12:53] <LjL> bluk: i don't know, perhaps give this a try: "sudo apt-get --reinstall install usplash"
[12:53] <sethk> mcquaid, you fix it the same way, although you'
[12:53] <ink251> how would i find "hello" in all files in a certain directory
[12:53] <Yourname> *sigh*
[12:53] <Em3rald> tsoler:  and like I said, using the link I have you (the ntfs-3g one) is my personal favorite.  It really works, and doesn't seem to screw anything up at all.
[12:53] <johnny__> so just do sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper
[12:53] <sethk> mcquaid, although you'll have to boot a live cd to get the system up so you can write the mbr.
[12:53] <bod_> ink251: find [-H]  [-L]  [-P]  [path...]  [expression]
[12:53] <bluk> thanks, i'll try at once!
[12:53] <tsoler> where is command prompt?? lol
[12:53] <mcquaid> so I want to write the mbr to this drive when it's in the new computer but obviously fstab and menu.1st will be incorrect
[12:53] <Yourname> Everyone knows WPA is way better than WEP.
[12:53] <binfalse1> johnny__: i doubt that the wiki recommends building ndiswrapper from source
[12:53] <bod_> try man find
[12:53] <Em3rald> tsoler:  apps>acces>terminal
[12:54] <mighty_falcon> can someone help me to get the fstab to automount my usb peripherals? it doesnt automount my ipod nor my usb flashdrive anymore
[12:54] <Liuiti> how i done the pannel as mac osx ?
[12:54] <tsoler> u are the best
[12:54] <mcquaid> sethk, ya I thought that, but is there an automated way to recreate the fstab and menu.1st or do I have to manually fix em
[12:54] <Em3rald> tsoler:  LOL np ... if you want to cut down on traffic, we can go to PM if you want ...
[12:54] <sethk> mcquaid, yes, if it is now hda (or sda, or whatever) and it used to have a different device, then you'll have to modify fstab and menu.lst
[12:54] <Yourname> Everyone knows WPA is way better than WEP. And that a secure linux community would always want WPA, than WEP. If ubuntu is being a very good OS, and wants noobs like me to try it.. the basics like WPA connectivity should be covered. It's sooooo hard to find help or documentation to get this other than pointers like "use wpa_supplicant".
[12:54] <binfalse1> johnny__: maybe the info in the wiki is outdated. ndiswrapper is at least in dapper (i think it was even in breezy)
[12:55] <tsoler> that would be perfect
[12:55] <Seeker2599> anyone know of a avi splitter for ubuntu?
[12:55] <johnny__> k
[12:55] <sethk> mcquaid, I don't know of an automated way, but it's just a search and replace with a text editor.
[12:55] <tsoler> can u pm me?
[12:55] <johnny__> i will just sudo apt-get install ndiswrapper
[12:55] <LjL> Yourname: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WPAHowTo
[12:55] <watson540> Yourname:: we only want noobs of they're willing  to google :)
[12:55] <Em3rald> tsoler done:D
[12:55] <green__saotome> tried to update to edgy, with "update-manager -c -d", but i got an error about calculating downloads. Is there a work around?
[12:55] <mcquaid> sethk, will the uuid's be the same? as I noticed edgy uses uuids for the drive in fstab
[12:55] <graveson> seeker2599: avidemux - quite good actually
[12:55] <mcquaid> not sure how uuid's are determined
[12:55] <tsoler> where are u?
[12:55] <Liuiti> how i done the pannel as mac osx ?
[12:55] <mighty_falcon> anyone know how to automount USB drive using fstab?
[12:55] <Seeker2599> ok i got that one but i cant find where it saved
[12:56] <sethk> mcquaid, I'm not sure about that.
[12:56] <Em3rald> heh you probably have another window or something.
[12:56] <b03nto> Liuiti, u can try this link http://www.taimila.com/ubuntuosx.php
[12:56] <sladen> mighty_falcon: Universally unique ids are long random numbers;  two generated are unlikely to be the same
[12:56] <mcquaid> there should be an automated script when migrating a drive to a new computer, windows 98 pukes going to new hardware but xp actually handles it quite well
[12:56] <tsoler> ha?
[12:56] <sethk> mighty_falcon, you don't automount using fstab, exactly, for any type of drive.  You add a USB drive to fstab in exactly the same manner you add any other type of drive to fstab
[12:56] <mcquaid> i know a saw a guide on this awhile back but can't find it now
[12:56] <Yourname> watson540: Thank you. If the main ubuntu dude saw you saying that, I'm sure he'd whip you. :)
[12:56] <Em3rald> tsoler:  what application are you using to IRC?
[12:56] <tsoler> only two windows
[12:56] <sethk> mighty_falcon, maybe I didn't really understand your question?
[12:56] <Yourname> LjL: Thanks
[12:57] <tsoler> the defalt one
[12:57] <graveson> seeker2599: did you download the tarball- because there is a deb package maintained ,though i do not have the website right now
[12:57] <Em3rald> Ummmm .... LOL, been a long time, which is that?
[12:57] <mcquaid> but heh, by now I could have just reinstalled, while I've been searching for a way to move this drive to a new puter gracefully
[12:57] <Seeker2599> graveson: where does avidemux save to?
[12:57] <mighty_falcon> sethk: the problem is that last night i decided to get rid of my XP partition, that gave me a whole bunch of headaches the whole day as my aprtiton tables got screwed up
[12:57] <johnny__> thank you guys for the help :)
[12:57] <Seeker2599> i downloaded it from add/remove
[12:57] <mighty_falcon> sethk: i finally fixed it all, but now when i plus in my ipod, usbdrive etc
[12:57] <graveson> seeker2599: you specify the directory to save it to
[12:57] <LjL> Yourname: if you open a private query with the bot and type terms, it is likely to give you some information about them. it's often useful.
[12:57] <Em3rald> tsoler:  OR, if you have a list of usernames somewhere in this channel, double-click my name or right-click or something.
[12:57] <tsoler> emerald i found you
[12:57] <Em3rald> okay
[12:58] <Seeker2599> it didnt ask me to
[12:58] <Yourname> LjL: Thanks again.
[12:58] <tsoler> do u see me
[12:58] <watson540> Yourname:: heh,, well i wasntreally aiming at you, but a lot of these people need to get un-lazy and start googling, although i doubt linux is vieing for anyone to cross over seeing as its non-profit
[12:58] <mighty_falcon> sethk: it doesnt autmount them anymore i have to do it by hand
[12:58] <Em3rald> Um, nope.  Wierd
[12:58] <fiveiron> ok, so my baby daughter seems to have stopped my 6.10 upgrade... and i'm having some issues removing courier-authdaemon.  it tells me to reinstall it before attempting to remove.  but every time i try to install it I get errors... anyone know if I can just forcibly remove the app or just tell the update manager to not worry about it
[12:58] <Em3rald> Hmm, I could create a temp channel maybe ... #em3rald and you could /join #em3rald
[12:58] <pak-x> can someone help me please?  XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool
[12:59] <tsoler> dont you get my mesagges there?
[12:59] <Yourname> watson540: Sure. But, if Google records the queries I must've given it to tell me how to upgrade a .tgz or install one, or get WPA to work with my drivers.. then Google would know me by first name.
[12:59] <mcphail> fiveiron: have you tried "sudo apt-get install -f"?
[12:59] <bluk> LjL: init still in text mode, but the reinstall went fine. could you give me an advice on which script to look at (if there's one) ?
[12:59] <tsoler> i saw yours
[12:59] <Em3rald> tsoler:  nope
[12:59] <b03nto> Liuiti, is that mac enough for u ? i doubt the logo thing will work anyway...
[12:59] <Em3rald> oop phone
[12:59] <watson540> Yourname:: they know me by my email cause i keep a jar of cookies for them
[12:59] <tsoler> let me find you , one minute please
[12:59] <sethk> mighty_falcon, in fstab, make sure the "noauto" option is not set.
[01:00] <sethk> mighty_falcon, do you mean that you want it to mount at boot time, or when you connect it?
[01:00] <fiveiron> mcphail, yep... it tells me this:
[01:00] <watson540> seriously though, in the time it takes to come in here and beg ppl t o show you how to un tar a file you could have built it and had it running using google
[01:00] <cafuego> whut?
[01:00] <fiveiron> dpkg: error processing courier-authdaemon (--remove):
[01:00] <fiveiron>  Package is in a very bad inconsistent state - you should
[01:00] <fiveiron>  reinstall it before attempting a removal.
[01:00] <bluk> LjL: oh but i realize, maybe the usplash is working in fact, but the "graphical tty" (i don't know how it's called) isn't activated anymore?
[01:00] <kurto> Was wondering if anyone had any tips on swapping out their system disk.  I used a 200gig ATA drive for my install, but now realize I need to segregate some of the data physically for performance
[01:00] <kurto> so I want to replace it with a 40 gig drive without having to rebuild the box....
[01:01] <Em3rald> tsoler:  can you /join #em3rald?
[01:01] <LjL> bluk: type "cat /boot/grub/menu.lst | grep slash". does it show anything?
[01:01] <mighty_falcon> sethl: when i connect it
[01:01] <sethk> kurto, you can do that, primarily by changing some directories to symbolic links, and pointing the links at whatever other drive now contains the actual data.
[01:01] <cafuego> kurto: Insert the 40GB, install system. Boot, mount 200GB, move cfg files, link actual data...
[01:01] <johnny__> i downloaded my wireless driver and opened the folder. my driver.inf is not in there
[01:02] <bluk> i suppose you mean "grep splash"
[01:02] <sethk> mighty_falcon, that's related to the hotswap configuration, not really to fstab.  look into the udev settings.
[01:02] <dbmerk> I have forced block checking on my hard drive and there are 495 bad blocks, but when i go through the installer it insists that the / partition be formatted, and then the install hangs at 70% while copying files again
[01:02] <sethk> mighty_falcon, BRB
[01:02] <LjL> bluk: yes, i do :)
[01:02] <mighty_falcon> sethk: when I connect it, i got the ipod to mount manually but would be nice if it automounted
[01:02] <kurto> At the costs of drives, it's probably easier for me to just buy another disk, hunh.....
[01:02] <bluk> i remember having seen it, give me a minute
[01:02] <dbmerk> does anyone know a way to force the installer itself while it is formatting / to do a bad block check ?
[01:02] <mighty_falcon> sethk: where would i find the udev settings?
[01:02] <protex> Guys, my Banshee music list has no fonts, anyone have this problem?
[01:02] <kurto> The box is my mythtv box and It took me MONTHS to get it working correctly.
[01:02] <binfalse2> testing thttpd with cgi-bin: http://<IP_ADDRESS>:29000/
[01:02] <johnny__> i suppose i need it for sudo ndiswrapper -i /Desktop/your_driver.inf
[01:03] <lenath> sethk: I've been following this method: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html However I stall on step two. I can't do a ./configure to output the makefile needed for make install
[01:03] <fangbite> What's the package name for gnome? (for apt-get)
[01:03] <johnny__> ic nevermind
[01:03] <LjL> dbmerk: perhaps the better option is saying RIP to that hard drive. do you have S.M.A.R.T. enabled in the BIOS? if not, try enabling it and seeing if it reports a failure. if it does, time to change your drive.
[01:03] <Vaske_Car> what is the best password manager for Gnome?
[01:03] <johso> one of my fat32 drives goes read-only everytime i start my computer. I'm pretty sure there's an error on it. how can I fix the error without wiping everything on it?
[01:04] <dbmerk> ljl: no smart it's quite old
[01:04] <Vaske_Car> johso, check out for a software called spinrite
[01:04] <bluk> LjL: hmm the only args to the kernel are: root=/dev/hda2 ro quiet
[01:04] <dbmerk> ljl: but i would rather get it working, it's fairly common to do a bad block check, not sure why it isn't doing one
[01:04] <bluk> altho i'm sure i've seen it before
[01:04] <LjL> bluk: add a "splash" to that
[01:04] <bluk> shall i add "splash" ?
[01:04] <bluk> okay thanks :)
[01:04] <fiveiron> mcphail, any ideas?
[01:04] <mcphail> fiveiron: fortunately, i've never had a package in " a very bad inconsistent state"! Maybe it would work if you use aptitude instead of apt-get to do the reinstall?
[01:04] <green_earz> Vaske_Car: have a look at mypasswordsafe if thats what your looking for
[01:05] <fangbite> What's the package name for gnome?
[01:05] <fangbite> I can't get apt-get to install it
[01:05] <mcphail> fiveiron: failing that, you could try the various "force" options. That would be a last resort, tough
[01:05] <mcphail> *though
[01:05] <pak-x> can someone help me please?  XML::Parser perl module is required for intltool???? can no one help me -.-
[01:05] <LjL> bluk, if you install from the Alternate CD, it should give you an option for *not* formatting the partition. not sure the Desktop CD has such an option.
[01:06] <fangbite> pak-x, run cpan
[01:06] <fangbite> Then install XML::Parser
[01:06] <bluk> okay i get it now, after moving the partition, i did reinstall grub manually -not thru Ubuntu install- and of course it didn't set splash by default, hence the "disappearance", thanks a lot to make me understand that, sorry for the, after all, stupid question :)
[01:06] <dbmerk> ljl: i think that was meant for me, thanks i'll check it out
[01:06] <merlin> installed nvidia driver after installing edgy.. reboots and Big blue screen with %'s all over it saying xorg is screwed up
[01:06] <LjL> fangbite: if you are using Ubuntu (rather than Kubuntu or Xubuntu or something), you have Gnome already installed. otherwise, you can install the "ubuntu-desktop" package.
[01:06] <johso> Vaske_Car: Thanks, that software looks really useful (wish I'd know it before), but I can access my data fine. problem is that I can't write. tried it before, and moved everything to another computer, wiped the disk and moved everything back. but I was wondering if this was doable without moving everything, just fixing it.
[01:06] <fangbite> LjL, I did the alternate install
[01:07] <LjL> dbmerk, yes, it was. sorry bluk.
[01:07] <fangbite> It gave me the X login screen, but it can't login
[01:07] <bod_> merlin:  http://wiki.beryl-project.org/index.php/Install/Ubuntu/Edgy/XGL
[01:07] <fangbite> I'm in a failsafe terminal
[01:07] <mighty_falcon> sethk: any ideas?
[01:08] <LjL> fangbite: well, i don't know what that could be due to, but try "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" anyway
[01:08] <LjL> fangbite: what does "can't login" mean anyway? it refuses to accept your password, it goes straight back to the login screen without saying a thing...?
[01:08] <fangbite> It says it's installed
[01:09] <fangbite> LjL, it says the session lasted under a second then returned to the login screen
[01:09] <bluk> why "sorry"? you were great!
[01:09] <Vaske_Car> johso, check out for a software called QuickTechPro it is capable to deply test hard drive
[01:09] <Vaske_Car> green_earz, installed mypasswordsafe, how to start it, it is not in menu list
[01:11] <pak-x> also i have the problem, then when i type "perl Makefile.PL" it works and no error comes, but when i then type "make", he is saying, that i dont know "make"? sorry
[01:11] <LookTJ> where is the official gentoo ?
[01:11] <pak-x> i = he
[01:11] <green_earz> Vaske_Car: from the command line  /usr/bin/MyPasswordSafe
[01:12] <totall_6_7> Vaske_Car: the name is the command to start it
[01:12] <totall_6_7> Vaske_Car: mypasswordsafe
[01:13] <Vaske_Car> is there a way to add it to the menu?
[01:13] <LjL> LookTJ: why don't you ask that in the gentoo channel?
[01:14] <johnny__> i have installed my driver .inf file but the terminal said "couldn't copy /Desktop/mrv8k51.inf at /usr/sbin/ndiswrapper line 135." do i have to manually edit this?
[01:14] <mighty_falcon> anyone know how to automount a device when plugged in??
[01:15] <sethk> LookTJ, gentoo is #masochists
[01:15] <merlin> hrmm... my system should be able to handle XGL and such.

[01:17] <tonyyarusso> Does anyone know how to fix this?:  HP Pavilion dv4150us laptop; gets really hot and then the fan finally kicks in (hard), cools it off, and stops, rather than running more frequently or continuously at a lower speed.

[01:19] <bod_> ;)
[01:19] <Marsmensch> thx binfalse2
[01:19] <mighty_falcon> anyone know where the automount settings for the devices are?
[01:19] <binfalse2> np, martian
[01:19] <totall_6_7> Vaske_Car: what is the first thing you click to get to the menu you want to add it to (what is the name of that item you are clicking)
[01:19] <bod_> i have an advent that does the same thing
[01:19] <sethk> tonyyarusso, the fan turn on temp is usually configurable in the BIOS

[01:43] <ubotu> To install a Java compiler/interpreter on Ubuntu, look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java  -  For the Sun Java runtime install sun-java5-jre from the !Multiverse repository
[01:43] <LjL> jaimiedrolet: ^

[01:45] <quilzo> hahaha
[01:45] <LjL> well, five, there is Shift too
[01:45] <quilzo> because you typed ^
[01:45] <LjL> quilzo: quick way of saying "look at the message above" :)
[01:45] <megauei> its longer an upgrade than reinstall ubuntu? o.0
[01:45] <quilzo> I typed ^ for 2 days while trying to type ^^
[01:45] <megauei> hahaha same here
[01:45] <megauei> xD
[01:46] <quilzo> just couldn't make the switch
[01:46] <quilzo> I can never go back to windows, or I will type ^^^^ and be outcast
[01:46] <jaimiedrolet> I wanted to know
[01:46] <eternalswd> how dow I get my Second Screen to dipslay 1280x1024 in Gnome as I have set it to be in my xorg.conf?
[01:47] <jaimiedrolet> Is there anyway I can get the sudo mode or su mode working without entering any password, and moving any files to anywhere without ever being prompted because I don't have the permission to do it?
[01:47] <quilzo> xorg xorg-configure -d 2 -r 13
[01:47] <LjL> quilzo: just use a different keyboard layout then :-P for that matter, i believe that we're using the same layout right now, but that's purely coincidential. my keyboard would normally require just two taps :)
[01:47] <jaimiedrolet> And without using the konsole neither *
[01:47] <sethk> gansinho, you mean the sessions available at the login screen?
[01:48] <quilzo> jaimiedrolet: settings
[01:48] <quilzo> "display"
[01:48] <quilzo> hardware
[01:48] <sethk> jaimiedrolet, you can set the root password and do su.   or you can use  su -i
[01:48] <dm1tri> hi
[01:48] <sethk> jaimiedrolet, sorry, sudo -i
[01:48] <quilzo> sethk: he won't use the console :p
[01:48] <quilzo> sethk: and he calls it konsole because that's the name of the konsole gui in kde :p
[01:48] <quilzo> aaah console*
[01:49] <sethk> quilzo, then where is he typing the password he's trying not to type?
[01:49] <sethk> jaimiedrolet, you can start a file browsing program as root, if that's what you are asking
[01:49] <quilzo> hey, I didn't say he was succeeding :p
[01:49] <quilzo> he wants his display changed :p
[01:50] <quilzo> jaimiedrolet: ?
[01:50] <jaimiedrolet> yeah?
[01:50] <quilzo> kde-button, system settings, display
[01:50] <jaimiedrolet> I was trying to install JRE...sorry
[01:50] <quilzo> hu :p
[01:50] <quilzo> wtf, who am I talking to
[01:51] <quilzo> eternalswd: ?

[01:51] <quilzo> he left
[01:51] <jaimiedrolet> I am setting the channels of Ubuntu LTS Source
[01:52] <quilzo> the sounddrivers don't make any sense
[01:52] <quilzo> I can change every option and it will still sound the same

[01:52] <quilzo> adept ?
[01:52] <quilzo> automatix ?

[01:52] <quilzo> another console ?
[01:52] <jaimiedrolet> hmmmm
[01:52] <jaimiedrolet> where can I go to see the running processes?
[01:52] <quilzo> ps -e in console
[01:53] <quilzo> root if you want to see those before kde-init (which you don't want)
[01:53] <quilzo> or stuff you started as root
[01:53] <quilzo> (which I doubt you can)
[01:53] <hype> top is usefull too
[01:53] <quilzo> as in, putting a root-app in your user-de :p
[01:53] <quilzo> kde*
[01:53] <quilzo> found it?
[01:54] <jaimiedrolet> nah

[01:55] <jaimiedrolet> how do I shut it off?
[01:55] <quilzo> sipjer: problem is ?
[01:55] <quilzo> sipher*
[01:55] <quilzo> sipher: delete second partition and resize windows
[01:55] <sipher> quandar: Problem is I wanted Ubuntu to take 50 gigs _max_.. and I need a lot more for win
[01:55] <chuckyp> LjL, i'm going to eat a bullet
[01:55] <quilzo> sipher: read what i typed
[01:56] <quilzo> chuckyp: why?

[02:28] <merlin> every time i reboot my edgy box... it says xorg.conf is messed up
[02:28] <ArrenLex> Thanks LOTS for all the help, ericmoriz! :) It looks awesome.
[02:28] <chuckyp> merlin, what do you end up donig to get X working?
[02:28] <merlin> re-installing nvidia drivers
[02:28] <Em3rald> tx
[02:28] <merlin> then startx. and it works beautifully
[02:28] <chuckyp> merlin, How are you i nstalling them?
[02:29] <merlin> from the nvidia site.
[02:29] <K1765> sethk u there?
[02:29] <chuckyp> merlin, I would just make sure the nvidia module is getting loaded.
[02:29] <melon> ok - i can't unrar a rar file.. i do "apt-get install unrar" - but it says i don't have permissions - which is really odd as it's something i've never encountered before - any ideas?
[02:29] <merlin> im a complete n00b... lol
[02:29] <ArrenLex> melon: use sudo for admin tasks.
[02:29] <ArrenLex> sudo apt-get install unrar
[02:29] <chuckyp> merlin, on boot.  after a reboot try lsmod | grep nvidia     see if the module is being loaded.  If its htere make sure that xorg.conf has the driver listed as "nvidia"
[02:29] <XVampireX> chuckyp, install nvidia-glx and in /etc/X11/xorg.conf search for "nv" change it to "nvidia" then hit ctrl+alt+backspace
[02:29] <ninn> Hello. How can i copy every single file, even the hidden onces?
[02:29] <melon> lol - yes.. i do sudo
[02:29] <melon> sorry
[02:30] <merlin> root@filebox:~# lsmod | grep nvidia

[02:30] <melon> "sudo apt-get install unrar" is what i typed
[02:30] <kitche> ninn: cp * <where you want to copy to>
[02:30] <XVampireX> chuckyp, I didn't say it was broken, you asked how to install nvidia drivers
[02:30] <ninn> doenst copy the hidden ones :8
[02:30] <ninn> kitche,
[02:30] <XVampireX> chuckyp, wait, lol
[02:30] <ninn> .... :/
[02:30] <chuckyp> XVampireX, no i asked him how he installed them.
[02:30] <XVampireX> chuckyp, lol, sorry, yeah, merlin
[02:31] <merlin> ... lol
[02:31] <merlin> had me confused
[02:31] <Em3rald> well, that easy sources thing is great, but I don't know what the best country code would be.
[02:31] <chuckyp> merlin, check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf  and make sure that under the Device section you have Driver     "nvidia"   instead of "nv"
[02:31] <XVampireX> merlin: do what I told you, or even better yet
[02:31] <XVampireX> !nvidia
[02:31] <ubotu> To install the Ati/NVidia drivers for your video card, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto

[02:32] <chuckyp> merlin, What sort of error are you getting when you X doesn't work?
[02:32] <merlin> umm...
[02:32] <merlin> i forget, i got used to it and just bypass it and reinstall every time
[02:32] <chuckyp> merlin, you can cat /var/Xorg.0.log | grep EE   for the error
[02:32] <merlin> just set that box to reboot
[02:33] <chuckyp> k
[02:33] <merlin> my linux box is faster than my gaming box.. thats horrible
[02:33] <merlin> well, not really
[02:33] <merlin> >.<
[02:33] <chuckyp> merlin, err.. /var/log/Xorg.0.log   or /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old   for the previous one.
[02:33] <chuckyp> merlin, wait till edgy comes out even faster.
[02:34] <XVampireX> merlin, That's normal, linux is faster than windows.
[02:34] <rockzman> jbmigel, yo

[02:39] <rockzman> but ok i'll try myself

[02:40] <Seeker2599> when i download avidemux it doesnt show up in my sound & video folder why not?
[02:40] <chuckyp> merlin, What does it say something abou the kernel module?
[02:40] <merlin> Error: API Mismatch: The Nvidia Kernel module has the version 1.0-7184 but this X module has the version 1.0-8776. Please make sure that the kernel module and all nvidia driver components have the same version
[02:40] <KingLear> i have a PCtel Micromodem,

[02:40] <merlin> >.<
[02:40] <merlin> so what can i do to right this error
[02:41] <chuckyp> merlin, yeah you need to remove their version of the nvidia driver then install yours.
[02:41] <KingLear> have compiled gcc as well, except for libstdc, when I try to compile drivers for the modems, it says gcc not found
[02:41] <merlin> blah.
[02:41] <KingLear> what can be the solution?
[02:41] <chuckyp> Is there a log of this channel on the net anywhere?
[02:41] <marcrosoft> So i installed edgy, and i was wondering what i have to do when they release the newer version...
[02:41] <chuckyp> merlin, I thought this channel was logged to the net if so you would be able to find it someone had your exact problem.

[02:44] <KingLear> I have problem compiling GCC for the PCtel modem driver...
[02:44] <chuckyp> merlin, he had the exact same error as you so if you search for that you'll find it.
[02:45] <chuckyp> KingLear, why are you compiling gcc?
[02:45] <chuckyp> KingLear, why not just install from synaptic?
[02:45] <Seeker2599> when i download avidemux it doesnt show up in my sound & video folder why not?

[02:47] <shawncm217> chuckyp: yes
[02:47] <sethk> bioticpro, overhead
[02:47] <KingLear> so?
[02:47] <bioticpro> sethk: what do you mean?
[02:47] <chuckyp> Chm0d, its there package name is build-essential
[02:48] <sethk> bioticpro, the available space on any storage device is always smaller than the raw capacity
[02:48] <chuckyp> merlin, just search don't read throught he whole thing.
[02:48] <Seeker2599> i download and install it with add/remove and after installing i cant find it
[02:48] <BHSPitLappy> bionoid, I think it's a general measurement inconsistency between those who sell media and computers
[02:48] <sethk> bioticpro, in this case you may also be running into the *1000 instead of *1024 issue.
[02:48] <BHSPitLappy> does that make sense
[02:48] <sethk> BHSPitLappy, not the way you said it, but what you meant makes sense.
[02:48] <sethk> :)
[02:49] <BHSPitLappy> hehe
[02:49] <chuckyp> shawncm217, i'm not sure which app to use though I know their are several perhaps search the forums.  People usually post their experiences there.

[02:50] <Seeker2599> i downloaded and installed avidemux with add/remove and after installing i cant find it

[02:50] <Chm0d> what do i need to install to build quetoo?
[02:50] <Chm0d> oh hey j
[02:50] <Chm0d> LOL
[02:50] <jdolan> :)
[02:51] <Chm0d> im trying
[02:51] <chuckyp> Chm0d, then you have all the compiliers
[02:51] <bioticpro> sethk: so if I have a original dvd that says the size is 4.4GB (4,672,000,000) , that means it doesn't need to be shrunk to fit on a single layer disk
[02:51] <jdolan> chuckyp, he needs x11 headers, alsa headers, sdl headers, ..
[02:51] <maswan> bioticpro: the first is GB as 10^9, the second GB as 2^30
[02:51] <Chm0d> what about headers for sdl glx and alsa?
[02:51] <KingLear> pardon, sethk? I mean after installing gcc I have to do that? ( hash -r)
[02:51] <sethk> bioticpro, yes, that's correct.
[02:51] <bioticpro> maswan: ok...
[02:51] <sethk> KingLear, yes, if you are trying to compile within a shell
[02:52] <sethk> KingLear, that tells the shell to throw away its cached path info and look for any program you try to run.
[02:52] <snoops> the second GB maswan refers to is otherwise known as GiB - GibiByte
[02:52] <Davey> *sigh* I broke stuff :/
[02:52] <sethk> KingLear, for obvious reasons the shell doesn't want to do that search every time you execute a command.
[02:52] <sethk> Davey, then fix stuff
[02:53] <chuckyp> jdolan, perhaps you can tell him how to install them.
[02:53] <Davey> I edited my /etc/hosts to change the hostname, and uh, sudo doesn't work anymore :(
[02:53] <sethk> Davey, that's not the only place where the host name appears
[02:53] <Seeker2599> i downloaded and installed avidemux with add/remove and after installing i cant find it
[02:53] <sethk> Davey, for the moment, just do:    hostname new-name
[02:53] <Davey> sethk: I know...
[02:53] <KingLear> sethk, when I do the command dpkg -i gcc-4.0.* it is installed, no error out out is seen,
[02:53] <sethk> Davey, at the prompt, then try sudo again from that prompt
[02:53] <Chm0d> chuckyp: he isn't familiar with ubuntu thats what he is in here as well :")
[02:53] <Davey> sethk: I can't.... need root to do that :/
[02:53] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, perhaps its not a gui program and it needs to be launched fromt he terminal?
[02:54] <sethk> Davey, no you don't
[02:54] <KingLear> but when I try to install the drivers for the PCtel modem, the eror says, no gcc found
[02:54] <sethk> Davey, well, yes, in some cases you might
[02:54] <Seeker2599> where would it have ben installed to?
[02:54] <KingLear> sethk what could be the problem?
[02:54] <sethk> Davey, boot the rescue cd
[02:54] <jdolan> Chm0d, sudo apt-get install libxxf86misc-dev libxxf86vm-dev
[02:54] <sethk> KingLear, I've told you that several times.
[02:54] <chuckyp> Chm0d, did you try apt-cache search "whatever"     no quotes of course but to possibly find the packages you are looking for.
[02:54] <sethk> KingLear, specifically, tell me what you are doing.
[02:54] <jdolan> (maybe, just found it googling for 'ubuntu' and header filenames)
[02:55] <sethk> chuckyp, you can use the quotes there, they don't hurt anything
[02:55] <KingLear> sethk I am sure you must have toldme,
[02:55] <KingLear> but I unable to get that..
[02:55] <Seeker2599> chuckyp: where would it have been installed to?
[02:55] <Davey> sethk: I can reboot from the GUI, after that, will it work? I modified /etc/hostname and /etc/hosts
[02:55] <concept10> how do I get by a package that will not install?  In this case, samba.. it has ruined my dist-upgrade
[02:55] <sethk> KingLear, ok, tell me what you are doing, specifically.
[02:55] <KingLear> sethk , I am trying to install the drivers of a PCtel micromode,
[02:55] <KingLear> when i give the command ./setup
[02:55] <sethk> Davey, it might, or it might bite you because of the inconsistency.  but you have nothing to lose, worst case is you boot the rescue cd anyway
[02:55] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, well you could type which "nameofprogram"   that will show you where its installed at.
[02:55] <KingLear> it says gcc not found
[02:55] <Chm0d> chuckyp: yea iv actually installed what I think i need
[02:56] <Chm0d> thanks very much
[02:56] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, but try opening a terminal and just tyeping the name of the app.
[02:56] <Chm0d> for your time
[02:56] <sethk> KingLear, ok, at that prompt, type     hash -r
[02:56] <Seeker2599> ok
[02:56] <KingLear> sethk I can swear that i Hvae installed gcc-4.0
[02:56] <sethk> KingLear, then, at the same prompt, type     which gcc
[02:56] <KingLear> all packages came in the 6.06 cd
[02:56] <KingLear> :(
[02:56] <chuckyp> Chm0d, np I just found a post int he forums about quetoo also.
[02:56] <sethk> KingLear, yes, three times was enough  times to say you have gcc
[02:56] <jdolan> Chm0d, sudo apt-get install x-window-system-dev
[02:56] <jmichaelx> are there any cups wizards in here? i am trying to configure this PC as a print server.... but when i 'lpq' from a client machine, i get 'no default destination available'. the machine with the printer is kubuntu edgy, the client machine is running kubuntu dapper (i hope it is ok to ask in this room!)
[02:56] <sethk> KingLear, try those two commands, at the _same_ shell prompt, and tell me what happens.
[02:56] <Chm0d> k thx jdolan
[02:57] <jdolan> seems to be several packages for ubuntu that have at one time or another provided those headers :-/
[02:57] <KingLear> I will have to DC, coz I am using a dual boot,
[02:57] <KingLear> sethk thanx aloyt for your help..
[02:57] <KingLear> alot*
[02:57] <sethk> KingLear, ok.  to do this rebooting between each step is going to be very painful.
[02:57] <mcphail> KingLear: no point rebooting to test the command
[02:57] <KingLear> so what shallI do?
[02:57] <sethk> mcphail, no, he means he's in windows
[02:58] <Chm0d> what do i need to install to build quetoo?
[02:58] <sethk> KingLear, no choice, really, but it will be painful.
[02:58] <KingLear> sethk :)
[02:58] <Squirrels> were are the themes for gnome located
[02:58] <rredd4> trying to remove slocate_3.0.beta.r3-1_i386.deb, when i type "apt-get remove slocate_3.0.beta.r3-1_i386.deb" it says it cannot find it.  I can go into /var/cache/apt/archives and find it via cd command, the package is broken.  how do i remove it?
[02:58] <Chm0d> oopd
[02:58] <Chm0d> LOL
[02:58] <jdolan> wrong window for the UP arrow? ;)
[02:58] <mcphail> sethk: yes - but booting back into ubuntu will open a new bash session, so no need for the hash -r
[02:58] <Chm0d> where is that post at chuckyp
[02:58] <chuckyp> rredd4, dpkg -r nameofdeb.deb
[02:58] <sethk> mcphail, oh, that's true, yes.
[02:58] <rredd4> ok
[02:58] <sethk> mcphail, but it won't hurt.  :)
[02:59] <mcphail> sethk: :)
[02:59] <Seeker2599> does anyone know of an avi splitter besides avidemux
[02:59] <Squirrels> were can i find the folders for the themes and colors for gnome?
[02:59] <BHSPitLappy> why would another one need to even exist, Seeker2599
[02:59] <KingLear> anyways, Guys, Thamx alot...
[02:59] <mick_> i am trying to run beryl on an ati 9800pro and i got everything installed seemingly correctly from the installation page of the wiki, but when i start up the xgl session alls i get is a white cube
[02:59] <mcphail> KingLear: have you tried "sudo apt-get install build-essential"?
[02:59] <Seeker2599> because mine wont install correctly!!
[02:59] <chuckyp> !xgl > mick_
[02:59] <chuckyp> mick_, xgl suport is in #ubuntu-sgl
[02:59] <chuckyp> mick_, err #ubuntu-xgl
[03:00] <KingLear> that darned modem is the only way I could be ableto do apt-get at all, sethk
[03:00] <KingLear> :(
[03:00] <cd32fan> hi
[03:00] <mick_> oops, thanks
[03:00] <Seeker2599> i have downloaded it 3 time and it wont show up
[03:00] <KingLear> what is build-essential sethk?
[03:00] <mcphail> KingLear: i think that build-essential and all the needed packages are on the cd
[03:00] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, did you try typing its name at terminal?  and where are you downloading it?
[03:00] <KingLear> yes, build-essential is there
[03:00] <Seeker2599> i downloaded it from the add remove thingy
[03:00] <Seeker2599> and yes i did
[03:01] <jmichaelx> is there a cups room?
[03:01] <cmatheson> what programs can view a multi-page tiff file?
[03:01] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, what happened when you typed avidemeux in terminal?
[03:01] <sethk> KingLear, build-essential is a meta package which includes the compiler and make and other build tools.  But I didn't say that, someone else did.
[03:01] <mcphail> KingLear: if you install that package, it will install several packages needed for compilation
[03:01] <jmichaelx> or ubuntu cups? :-D
[03:01] <Seeker2599> bash: command not found
[03:01] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, go to a terminal and type sudo apt-get install avidemux
[03:01] <KingLear> oh mcphail, sorry, I couldnt note that it was you, so I try installing that now?
[03:01] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, then see if its there.
[03:02] <Seeker2599> ok
[03:02] <sethk> KingLear, not if you already installed it.
[03:02] <KingLear> will it also solve the dpendency problem between libstdc6 and g++?
[03:02] <sethk> KingLear, which is it?  either you installed it, or you didn't.
[03:02] <KingLear> I didnt
[03:02] <mcphail> KingLear: if you have not installed it already, then install it now
[03:02] <sethk> KingLear, there isn't a dependency _problem_
[03:02] <sethk> KingLear, what did you see that makes you think there is a dependency problem?
[03:03] <KingLear> sethk I thought I shouldnt mess around with the packages I dont know about, sethk
[03:03] <KingLear> :(
[03:03] <rredd4> chuckyp  typed dpkg -r  slocate_3.0.beta.r3-1_i386.deb  got this error:  dpkg: you must specify packages by their own names, not by quoting the names of the files they come in
[03:03] <sethk> KingLear, well, ok, but having a dependency isn't a problem.
[03:03] <AsheD> is it possible to change the name that Ubuntu appends to linked files?
[03:03] <KingLear> becuase installing either of libstdc6 and g++ says that the other package is not present
[03:03] <sethk> AsheD, hm?  there is nothing appended to a linked file.
[03:03] <mcphail> KingLear: are you installing with dpkg or apt-get? You need to use apt-get
[03:04] <Seeker2599> it says: avidemux is already the newest version
[03:04] <sethk> KingLear, do you mean you can't install?
[03:04] <imperfect-> Anyone here know how I can get lilo installed using a live cd?
[03:04] <KingLear> Yes
[03:04] <AsheD> when I create a link, it creates a new file called "link to <filename>", can I edit that?
[03:04] <sethk> KingLear, try doing what mcphail suggested:    sudo apt-get install build-essential
[03:04] <KingLear> Okay
[03:04] <KingLear> I will do that
[03:04] <KingLear> sethk since I have only this option left with right now..
[03:04] <KingLear> build-essential is in CD
[03:05] <KingLear> and will try that
[03:05] <KingLear> Thanx anyway
[03:05] <KingLear> I will try to save the out put for future refrence..
[03:05] <KingLear> :(
[03:05] <Seeker2599>  it says: avidemux is already the newest version, now what?
[03:05] <KingLear> Bye all... sethk, mcphail, Thanx
[03:06] <rredd4> typed dpkg -r  slocate_3.0.beta.r3-1_i386.deb  got this error:  dpkg: you must specify packages by their own names, not by quoting the names of the files they come in
[03:06] <Squirrels> how do i run a .rpm
[03:06] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, now type in avidemux
[03:06] <sethk> Squirrels, you don't.
[03:06] <chuckyp> !alien > Squirrels
[03:07] <sethk> Squirrels, a .rpm is an install file for the RPM package manager
[03:07] <chuckyp> Squirrels, what program are you trying to install?
[03:07] <sethk> Squirrels, you can possibly use it with alien, but this is very dangerous
[03:07] <Seeker2599> bash: avidemux: command not found
[03:07] <sethk> Squirrels, you should find an install for ubuntu if at all possible
[03:07] <anthonyc> mister patrick volkerding uses an rpm spec file to compile mozilla
[03:07] <sethk> Seeker2599, you can say that a few hundred more times, it says nothing.
[03:07] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, hold on let me check something
[03:07] <sethk> Seeker2599, you can search for the file.  if, in fact, that is a program name.
[03:08] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, what is the response of which avidemux
[03:08] <rredd4> chuckyp  dpkg -r ....  did not work  says i need to specify package by its own name, not the name of the file...  ??
[03:09] <chuckyp> rredd4, dpkg -r slocate
[03:09] <chuckyp> rredd4, dunno why you want to remove that though.
[03:09] <rredd4> its broken
[03:09] <sethk> there is no such file as avidemux, unless it is very new.
[03:09] <chuckyp> rredd4, did you try apt-get reinstall slocate
[03:09] <rredd4> no
[03:09] <rredd4> i will
[03:09] <chuckyp> sethk, Its int he repos
[03:09] <chuckyp> !info avidemux
[03:10] <ubotu> avidemux: a small editing software for avi (especially DivX). In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1:2.1.2-0.0ubuntu2 (dapper), package size 2607 kB, installed size 6756 kB
[03:10] <sethk> chuckyp, ok.
[03:10] <sethk> chuckyp, he downloaded a package file from somewhere?
[03:10] <Seeker2599> i got it from the add/remove thing
[03:10] <sethk> chuckyp, no, according to that info you just provoked, it is indeed in the repositories
[03:10] <chuckyp> sethk, he installed from repos but now he can't figure out how to run it.
[03:10] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, what did which avidemux      say?
[03:10] <Seeker2599> it doesnt show up
[03:11] <sethk> Seeker2599, do a find for it.      Or, run sudo updatedb,  then do a locate for it.
[03:11] <tsoler> emerald are u here?
[03:11] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, "which avidemux"   no quotes in terminal
[03:12] <Seeker2599> it doesnt say anything
[03:12] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, it just went back to prompt?
[03:12] <sethk> Seeker2599, not possible
[03:12] <Seeker2599> yes
[03:12] <sethk> Seeker2599, it can say "avidemux not found"
[03:12] <sethk> Seeker2599, but it can't do nothing.
[03:12] <Seeker2599> it didnt say anything
[03:12] <mcphail> sethk: not true
[03:12] <sethk> mcphail, sure it's true, I just tried it.
[03:12] <rredd4> chuckyp  dpkg - warning: ignoring request to remove slocate which isn't installed.    also got this   apt-get reinstall slocate    E: Invalid operation reinstall
[03:12] <mcphail> sethk: so did i
[03:13] <leetcharmer> if I want to select all files that end in .avi in a folder w/ nautilus -- how do I do that?
[03:13] <sethk> mcphail, oh, you are using a broken bash, sorry
[03:13] <chuckyp> rredd4, sudo aptitude reinstall slocate
[03:13] <sethk> mcphail, I forget that bug.
[03:13] <mcphail> sethk: he was responding to the "which avidemux", not your suggestion for find or locate
[03:13] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, hold on let me try installing it and seeing what the deal is.
[03:13] <nukeslion> i cant find w32codecs, but im pretty sure my repositories are working right, is there a trick to getting them? (trying to get amarok to play mp3s)
[03:13] <sethk> mcphail, yes, of course, I understand that
[03:14] <Seeker2599> where do i find the files downloaded through add/remove?
[03:14] <sethk> mcphail, I don't use the shell which says nothing at all for a failed which (which is a bug, if you'll excuse the expression  :)   )
[03:14] <sethk> Seeker2599, there is no specific answer, files get installed to lots of places
[03:14] <Seeker2599> ok
[03:14] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, it downloaded a .deb file in apts cache
[03:14] <anthonyc> leetcharmer, you would add *.avi to the end of your command
[03:14] <sethk> Seeker2599, do this:   find / -name avidemux
[03:14] <rredd4> chuckyp  what is   Score is -21?
[03:14] <sethk> Seeker2599, as root
[03:14] <mcphail> sethk: aah. OK. I don't recall bash ever responding to which if the file wasn't present, but that is maybe my bad memory...
[03:14] <leetcharmer> where do I type that in?
[03:14] <noiesmo> nukeslion, for amarok and mp3 i did this sudo apt-get install libmad0 libxine-extracodecs and used xine engine in amarok
[03:15] <chuckyp> rredd4, there are dependancy problems aparently if you read the full message?  Why do you assume that slocate is broken?
[03:15] <AsheD> when I create a link to a file, it creates a new file called "link to <filename>", can I edit that?
[03:15] <nukeslion> noiesmo, alright, i shall try that
[03:15] <sethk> mcphail, no, I don't mean that bash ever didn't have the bug, I meant that I don't use bash because it's broken in a number of ways, including that one.
[03:15] <mcphail> sethk: :)
[03:15] <tonyyarusso> AsheD: Edit how?
[03:15] <mcphail> sethk: ksh?
[03:15] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, I just installed it and it works fine  It installs in the menus under Applications > Sound & Video > avidemux
[03:15] <Seeker2599> its not there for me
[03:15] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, also launching it from terminal works
[03:15] <nukeslion> noiesmo, Package libxine-extracodecs is not available, but is referred to by another package.
[03:15] <AsheD> tonyyarusso:: like to change the text it adds, or remove it, so its just the same as the file name
[03:16] <ArrenLex> !libxine-extracodecs
[03:16] <rredd4> chuckyp  because when i go to synaptic and click on fix broken package, it hangs on slocate
[03:16] <ubotu> libxine-extracodecs: the xine video/media player library, binary files. In component multiverse, is optional. Version 1.1.1+ubuntu1-2 (dapper), package size 1148 kB, installed size 2976 kB
[03:16] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, well sudo apt-get --purge avidemux   then sudo apt-get install avi-demux
[03:16] <jaimiedrolet> anyone can tell me what those errors mean?
[03:16] <jaimiedrolet> http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/27730/
[03:16] <jewbilee> would someone mind giving me a step by step install of Flash
[03:16] <chuckyp> rredd4, well what does the screen say about it?
[03:16] <jewbilee> i cant get it working
[03:16] <chuckyp> !flash > jewbilee
[03:16] <noiesmo> nukeslion, works for me note > Enable the lines which end with 'dapper universe' and 'dapper multiverse'
[03:16] <tonyyarusso> AsheD: Is it in the right-click properties perhaps?
[03:17] <chuckyp> jewbilee, what version are you trying to install?
[03:17] <leetcharmer> anthonyc, where would I type that?
[03:17] <noiesmo> jewbilee, I download latest flash 9 from abode this morning then extract it and read the txt file it comes with easy to install
[03:17] <AsheD> tonyyarusso:: no?  at least I don't see anything pertaining to that
[03:17] <bazz> i'm trying to get samba running on dapper, i've got it installed and running and i've shared a folder, but when i try to connect from my windows machine it gives me a password prompt and nothing seems to log in successfully.  (i've tried my user account and the root account)
[03:17] <sethk> jaimiedrolet, if the thing still runs, you can ignore those errors
[03:17] <chuckyp> !samba > bazz
[03:17] <sethk> jaimiedrolet, the program is looking for things that don't exist on your box, but that doesn't mean that there is a problem.
[03:18] <bazz> chuckyp: thanks, i'll ready that
[03:18] <cd32fan> can anyone tell me the name of a program that streams radio for ubuntu?
[03:18] <Seeker2599> when i try to purge it says E: invalid operation avidemux
[03:18] <chuckyp> cd32fan, like fm radio?
[03:18] <cd32fan> yea
[03:18] <noiesmo> jewbilee, heres link http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer9.html
[03:18] <cd32fan> something like that
[03:18] <chuckyp> cd32fan, did you try doing a search with synaptic for fm??
[03:18] <rredd4> cd32fan  streamtuner
[03:18] <mick__> !xgl  > mick__
[03:19] <cd32fan> hey that was fast
[03:19] <cd32fan> thanks ;)
[03:19] <tonyyarusso> AsheD: Works here...what do you see?
[03:19] <rredd4> cd32fan  i use it, needs xmms to hear it
[03:19] <Seeker2599> anyone know of another avi splitter besides avidemux
[03:19] <chuckyp> jewbilee, download that extract and put it in your /usr/lib/firefox/plugins
[03:20] <fatsheep> quick q...  in open office when I try to select text with the mouse a lot of times it will only move the cursor, is there a way to get rid of this behaviour?
[03:20] <AsheD> tonyyarusso:: I have no problem *creating* the link, I just wanted to know if I can change the default text added to the link name
[03:20] <chuckyp> jewbilee, restart firefox and flash will be working.
[03:20] <sethk> Seeker2599, no, sorry, I'm not really up on those apps.   google doesn't help you?
[03:20] <cd32fan> rredd4: i'll try it
[03:20] <Seeker2599> no
[03:20] <tonyyarusso> AsheD: You mean the name that shows up in nautilus / on the desktop, right?
[03:20] <AsheD> tonyyarusso:: yes
[03:20] <rredd4> cd32fan  its not bad
[03:20] <AsheD> tonyyarusso:: I know its possible in windows, so I think it would be in Linux as well
[03:20] <bod_> what do i have to install to see java content in firefox
[03:20] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, did you try removing like I told you and reinstall it?  Because I can confirm that it works here.
[03:20] <tonyyarusso> AsheD: And if you right click on the file, and select properties, what do you see?
[03:21] <chuckyp> !java > bod_
[03:21] <cd32fan> there's just one thing i still havent managed to install in Ubuntu
[03:21] <cd32fan> the graphic drivers
[03:21] <chuckyp> cd32fan, what type of card?
[03:21] <keithhhh> can someone tell me how to run a .jar file?
[03:21] <Seeker2599> when i try to purge it says E: invalid operation avidemux
[03:21] <chuckyp> !java > keithhhh
[03:21] <ArrenLex> keithhhh: do you have java insatlled
[03:21] <ArrenLex> ?
[03:21] <cd32fan> chuckyp: the ATI drivers
[03:21] <ArrenLex> installed **
[03:22] <chuckyp> Seeker2599, well apt-get remove avidemux
[03:22] <chuckyp> !ati > cd32fan
[03:22] <jewbilee> can anyone help me?  im at gnashs website and i can find the download link ^^;;
[03:22] <cd32fan> chuckyp: 9600 series
[03:22] <AsheD> tonyyarusso:: I seem info about the file, but nothing pertaining to links, unless you are referring to the link file itself, then I can see its name, location, what it links to, etc, but that still doesn't answer my question
[03:22] <chuckyp> jewbilee, ahh you want to install gnash.   I think they use cvs.
[03:22] <ArrenLex> jewbilee: http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/#downloading
[03:22] <jewbilee> ...?
[03:22] <jewbilee> uhhh
[03:22] <chuckyp> jewbilee, http://www.gnu.org/software/gnash/#downloading
[03:23] <jewbilee> hmmm
[03:23] <chuckyp> ArrenLex, argh you beet me.
[03:23] <jewbilee> gimme a sec
[03:23] <jewbilee> ill probably be back with another question
[03:23] <joevandyk> I've got a Dell laptop with an extra VGA thing in the back of it.  How do I get that to work with ubuntu?
[03:23] <ArrenLex> jewbilee: you're going to have to use cvs to get gnash.
[03:23] <chuckyp> jewbilee, well you have two choices basically gnash or adobes version of flash.
[03:23] <nukeslion> noiesmo, thanks, its working ^__^ <3
[03:23] <ArrenLex> jwebilee: I warn you gnash is of little interest to anyone but developers right now.
[03:23] <chuckyp> joevandyk, plug a monitor in to it.
[03:23] <tonyyarusso> AsheD: And the name is "link to whatever", right?
[03:23] <noiesmo> nukeslion, np :)
[03:23] <joevandyk> chuckyp: don't I need to modify xorg.conf?
[03:23] <mcruz> hello
[03:23] <AsheD> tonyyarusso:: yes, and my question was how to change the default, so I don't have to manually change it each time
[03:24] <jewbilee> ArrenLex: what would you recommend?
[03:24] <mcruz> any script-people here??
[03:24] <Seeker2599> ok it removed it now how do i get it again lol
[03:24] <tonyyarusso> AsheD: Ah, I see now.
[03:24] <ArrenLex> jewbilee: to watch flash movies, only the official adobe plugin is useable right now.
[03:24] <chuckyp> joevandyk, you can't do a dual display if thats what you are asking.  I believe on most laptops its either using that or the screen?
