[17:14] <arijus> Where can i check my desktop make and model?
[17:14] <b1n42y> Russian: try right click on file and properties and open with
[17:14] <vorticon> soup-can that's quite a common problem
[17:14] <Lunks> sethk: I don't use them as often as to mount them on every system start, but I do use them sometimes
[17:15] <Lunks> And a proper name would be better than its size to figure out what they are
[17:15] <vorticon> soup-can: did you try to search the forums a bit yet?
[17:15] <genii> sanguisdex: I generally like to be on CLI so for me ssh works great for remote admin, etc.sshfs I haven't used much, our network uses nis/nfs mainly at this point (they are all directly wired to each other)
[17:15] <Lunks> justin420: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=582962
[17:15] <vorticon> soup-can: should be some tutorials around
[17:15] <Soup-can> yeah the best i get is people swithcing to opera... which i would rather not do
[17:15] <Russian> b1n42y: check pm please
[17:15] <help_me_pls> in ubuntu 7.04 the NTFS partion appeared after the install, but now in 7.10 i cant see it. How do i mount it?
[17:15] <vorticon> soup-can: ah ok i bet you're using 64 bit platform?
[17:15] <Soup-can> no 32
[17:15] <genii> Bah. Seeding 7.10 is making my box crawl
[17:15] <WindowSmasher> Why is it suggested that everyone use GRUB instead of LILO?
[17:15] <vorticon> soup-can: then it shouldn't be too hard to fix
[17:16] <Dr_willis> because grub can do so much more then lilo, and in a easier to configure fashion
[17:16] <sanguisdex> genii: I do web development so I never really use a lan but you should check out what fuse can do
[17:16] <Hex2> Dimitriid: bash: startflushbox: command not found
[17:17] <justin420> stefg: thanks for the link for that! that fixed my console problems!!! ( i am so much more happy now )
[17:17] <sanguisdex> genii: it's a bit slow but wow
[17:17] <Dr_willis> Hex2,  its startfluxbox
[17:17] <DocRohith> is anyone here using SERGIO's patch for the sonypi module?
[17:17] <Dr_willis> Hex2,  try 'start<tab>'
[17:17] <Hex2> o.O i knew that
[17:17] <Dr_willis> flushbox = the new Windows GUI. :)
[17:17] <WindowSmasher> I've been poking around and it seems that installing LILO is a complete headache.  Is there and easy way to do this?
[17:17] <Hex2> WOW
[17:17] <Hex2> tons of errors
[17:17] <sethk> WindowSmasher, installing lilo is perfectly easy.
[17:18] <Dimitriid> did it started though?
[17:18] <WindowSmasher> sethk: Do you have a link to a guide?
[17:18] <b1n42y> WindowSmasher: maybe thats y people suggest to use grub
[17:18] <hairulfr> WindowSmasher: Can I ask why you wan't lilo?
[17:18] <Dimitriid> do you have a right click menu on desktop?
[17:18] <Pici> WindowSmasher: Is there any reason why you want to install lilo instead of Grub?
[17:18] <sethk> WindowSmasher, let me look ...
[17:18] <Hex2> Dimitriid: i dont think so..it says at the end "make sure you dont have another window manager running"
[17:18] <panayiotis> PLease help me!! i use openoffice and i am writing GREK..how i can fing a GREEK spellcheck???
[17:18] <TW_> sry guys
[17:18] <TW_> is vsftpd a gui interface?

[17:18] <Laser87> Hi!
[17:18] <Dimitriid> mm you did /etc/init.d/gdm stop right?
[17:18] <hairulfr> :/
[17:18] <KlrSpz> ??
[17:18] <Pici> WindowSmasher: I dont think its worth the trouble.
[17:18] <KlrSpz> lilo has LESS of a GUI than grub does afaik
[17:18] <Hex2> Dimitriid: ..gimmie a sec on that
[17:19] <hairulfr> WindowSmasher: Wtf.... :S
[17:19] <WindowSmasher> Pici: sethk tells me it's easy
[17:19] <Barbarello> hi
[17:19] <kelsin> WindowSmasher: grub allows you to make your own graphic to display, lilo is ugly
[17:19] <panayiotis> PLease help me!! i use openoffice and i am writing GREK..how i can fing a GREEK spellcheck???
[17:19] <KlrSpz> lilo is depracated for a reason
[17:19] <WindowSmasher> kelsin: I've never know grub to let me configure a theme
[17:19] <kelsin> WindowSmasher: grub also allos you to edit the boot lines while booting helping to solve errors, and doesn't require a reinstall every time you change stuff, I def recommend grub
[17:19] <WindowSmasher> Thanks all, I will do more research
[17:19] <Barbarello> How to disable request for enter superuser password?

[17:20] <sethk> WindowSmasher, see http://lilo.go.dyndns.org/
[17:20] <hairulfr> Barbarello: Why would you want to do that?
[17:20] <WindowSmasher> I will continue to look for way of modifying grub to my liking
[17:20] <kelsin> WindowSmasher: look up info, but you just have to create any graphic you want with the right parameters (convert on the command line can help convert any graphic easy) then use the write splash command in the grub.conf
[17:20] <Pici> kelsin: splash is not the same thing as a bootloader.
[17:20] <Barbarello> hairulfr: tired to enter everytime.
[17:20] <panayiotis> PLease help me!! i m using openoffice and i am writing GREEK..how i can find a GREEK spellcheck???

[17:29] <rebo123> Hello everyone.. I have a problem: whenever I come back from suspend, my touchpad stops functioning. How do I fix it?
[17:29] <rebo123> I have a Synaptics touchpad
[17:29] <new2linx> o00w: what about snort? also it's not bad to have some kde dependencies installed, they all play nice together for the most part.
[17:30] <Odd-rationale> new2linx: No, i think is converts it *and* burns it.
[17:30] <bluefox83> cleaton, you might try removing the version you have installed, and then go to getdeb.net and install wine-doors
[17:30] <Woodruff_> Hello , when i use GParted and try to delete an unformatted partition (/dev/sda5 ) in order to create new partitions from it it tells me "please unmount partition having a higher number then 5"
[17:30] <genii> new2linx: Yes. but also the Makefile in the source has a bunch of RH type paths and there is no configure
[17:30] <new2linx> o00w: not to mention, sudo iwlist wlan0 scan will show you wireleess ap's in the area as well.
[17:30] <Don64> cleaton: yes, go into synaptic, right click on the package you don't want changed, and it gives you the option ther
[17:30] <waterloo_sunset> plz, how do i save xorg.conf after editing....ctrl?
[17:30] <cleaton> ok thx Don64
[17:31] <Don64> np
[17:31] <comsa> what editor

[17:31] <waterloo_sunset> terminal
[17:31] <cox> CAN anyone recommend a PDF edit, i'm uding PDFedit but it just seems to get slower and slower the long i user , takes about 15 seconds on every update
[17:31] <new2linx> genii: if you have a rpm, alien is suppose to convert it all over to deb, then just double click. what package are you looking for an equivalent to again?
[17:31] <TW_> hey dr willis
[17:31] <TW_> vsftp can allow multiple folders to show?
[17:31] <Odd-rationale> o00w: The depend are listed. You can download them too: http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/kde/wlassistant
[17:31] <waterloo_sunset> is writeout same as saving?
[17:31] <TW_> example, i set a user admin to the  folders c:// ftp den d://ftp
[17:31] <TW_> can it show 2
[17:31] <codecaine> you can burn mp3 cds on ubuntu?
[17:32] <genii> !pin
[17:32] <TW_> when i login to admin account
[17:32] <ubotu> pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto
[17:32] <codecaine> for audio cds
[17:32] <Odd-rationale> codecaine: yes, serpentine
[17:32] <bluefox83> whoa, is pinning a new feature of apt? i have never heard of it before O.o
[17:32] <Dr_willis> TW_,  no idea. this is when you read the ftp servers docs.   youse of c:// and d:// is weird.. thats not a normal linux path.
[17:32] <GinoPertile> Hello! Could somebody help me with DOSEMU printing? After DOSEMU upgraded I couldn't print to lpt1: or prn: anymore.
[17:32] <waterloo_sunset> :(
[17:33] <genii> cleaton: google version pinning dpkg ubuntu
[17:33] <Makedonas> hey all, just getting used to ubuntu. Looking at software compatibility it seems I would have been better off going with the 32 bit version, do I need to download another live cd or is there a way of reinstalling from within ubuntu?
[17:33] <Don64> cleaton: sorry in package lock version
[17:33] <DocRohith> last call... anyone with sony laptop wwan card, interested in getting it to work. plz PM me...
[17:33] <kst-> Makedonas i guess it's easiest to get 32bit version by downloading a new cd
[17:34] <genii> Don64: : synaptic version pinning is still a bit broken in spots.
[17:34] <Makedonas> kst: is there another way? Just I'm out of cds and impatient ;)
[17:34] <Arv3n> Can anyone help me? I change to the "nv" driver, and it gives me screen out of range or something like that. NVIDIA and VESA work fine!
[17:34] <bluefox83> Makedonas, just install the 32 kernel you want, remove the 64 bit one, and restart i think
[17:34] <Igor_MK> hello, I have installed gusty on HP Compaq 6720s, when i close the lid nothing is happening, i tried to enable RADEON_LIGHT=true in acpi-support but this froze the laptop when I tried to close the lid. Can someone please help??
[17:34] <EdgEy> Arv3n, use the nvidia driver, it's better in most cases
[17:34] <EdgEy> nvidia is hardware accelerated etc
[17:34] <Arv3n> -_-
[17:34] <Arv3n> Of course.
[17:34] <new2linx> DocRohith: what does lspci -v show for your wlan card?
[17:34] <bluefox83> Arv3n, sudo modprobe nv
[17:34] <TW_> no im just saying a example
[17:34] <TW_> like
[17:34] <Lunks> On computer:// there are some unmounted volumes with names like "95.7 GB Volume"
[17:34] <Arv3n> bluefox83, what woudl that do?
[17:34] <Lunks> How to change these names?
[17:34] <Makedonas> Bluefox: what I'm asking is whether there is a way I can do that without downloading another livecd? some sort of "get" type thing?
[17:35] <TW_> can i show folders on different places
[17:35] <TW_> and not a whole folder
[17:35] <TW_> do u have msn?
[17:35] <new2linx> Arv3n: nv driver is inferior to nvidia driver so what do you want the nv driver?
[17:35] <bluefox83> Arv3n, load the nv module, and let you start X without the Nvidia driver
[17:35] <Makedonas> sorry, downloading the cd isnt a problem, just havent got any media to burn it to at the moment...
[17:35] <DocRohith> new2linux.. clarification WWAN, not WLAN
[17:35] <Arv3n> Nevermind, I'll just use the nvidia driver.
[17:35] <EdgEy> Makedonas, if you are a new user, probably not something within your ability, you would have to mess around a lot i doubt there's an automated way to replace x64 with x86
[17:35] <Dr_willis> Lunks,  i thought you could set those from the properties/right click menu. Or set a Drive Label for them. I havent messed with that stuff in ages. :)
[17:35] <Makedonas> EdgEy: fair enough
[17:35] <new2linx> DocRohith: don't even know what WWAN card is?
[17:35] <TW_> willis
[17:35] <Lunks> Dr_willis: Looks like I can't on unmounted volumes.
[17:36] <o00w> Odd-rationale: man each one of those dependencies has more dependencies and I don't know which ones are installed.  I was hoping to download the app here at work and take it home with me, so I only got one chance of getting this right or else I have to pickup again the next day
[17:36] <Makedonas> Also: is there a way I can fit a livecd onto a usb instead?
[17:36] <DocRohith> internet through cell phone service
[17:36] <Dr_willis> TW_,   it dosent do much good to just say a persons name on one line....
[17:36] <DocRohith> Wireless Wide Area Network
[17:36] <bluefox83> Makedonas, you can use synaptic...you can download the kernel quite easily
[17:36] <Lunks> Dr_willis: Looks like I can't rename any of the disk names. :P
[17:36] <Lunks> Mounted or Unmounted.
[17:36] <genii> new2linx: Attansic L1 Gigabit lan driver. Drivername is atl0.ko   The source code to make the driver is on the Asus cdrom. But as i think I've explained it's all geared for Redhat to make their rpm of it to install the driver. the source code does not have Debian/Ubuntu options/pathnames/library names and no .configure is provided to Debianise the Makefile
[17:36] <Mcavity> tmakedonas I think theres  ahlep file for puting live cd on usb
[17:37] <Dr_willis> Lunks,  i toyed with the stuff befor. I think for ext2/3 you can set the label, and it will use that. Not sure for vfat/ntfs
[17:37] <UbuntuDesperateU> does anyone in here knows how to configure a usr9106 sureconnect for allowing amule ports
[17:37] <UbuntuDesperateU> ????????????????
[17:37] <TW_> er dr willis, what i mean, can i set settings like some users can only access this folders and some can only access these folders, these =certain
[17:37] <new2linx> Lunks: you actually can set that but you do need ot make sure it's unmounted. if it's a fat partition, here's a guide: http://ubuntu.wordpress.com/2006/03/01/editing-fat32-partition-labels-using-mtools/
[17:37] <Dr_willis> Lunks,  i dont use gnome much any more - so havnt messed with it in ages.
[17:37] <Lunks> ok, will try =)
[17:38] <Dr_willis> TW_,  No idea on that ftp server. i dont use ftp servers any more they tend to be a security risk.  For the tasks you need to do. YOu seriously may want to research 'ssh' and see if it and sftp can do what you need.
[17:38] <selector_waxx> hello
[17:38] <UbuntuDesperateU> hello
[17:38] <TW_> hmm i dun need ssh
[17:38] <TW_> what i meant is
[17:38] <bluefox83> <3 ssh
[17:38] <TW_> like filezilla
[17:38] <UbuntuDesperateU> does anyone knows about amule?????
[17:38] <_eReN_> hi hi hi hi hi hi hi
[17:38] <TW_> u can set cetain directories to certain users
[17:38] <selector_waxx> does other ppl have problems with open arena and ubuntu 7.10
[17:38] <TW_> can linux ftp servers do these?
[17:38] <eljak> UbuntuDesperateU, yes
[17:38] <bluefox83> UbuntuDesperateU, check out #amule
[17:38] <new2linx> genii: hope this does it, a quick google search found this: http://www.david-web.co.uk/blog/?p=181
[17:39] <Dr_willis> TW_,   i imagine some of them can.
[17:39] <schlumpf> hi i have a problem with the make command it results in a error which is not expected at the guide last line from the terminal /bin/sh: cannot create /root/.mozilla/firefox//user.js: Directory nonexistent
[17:39] <TW_> been reading vsftp
[17:39] <Mcavity> ubuntuDesprate: sounds liek you need to set up ort forwarding
[17:39] <o00w> new2linx: snort seems to not do what I need...I need to enter the wireless network name in 7.04 in order to join it..but I don't know it...I just want to sniff out  the local coffee shop's connection like windows does...it displays all available networks
[17:39] <TW_> dun see it having this function, as i need this function
[17:39] <kst-> selector_waxx I'm running not openarena but challengeq3 (icculus q3) and it works fine
[17:39] <Whitor> Is there any way to get the icon selection effect of the KDE environment to work with Gnome desktop icons?
[17:39] <Dr_willis> TW_,  check out the others then.. ones with more features - may be harder to configure initially.
[17:39] <d90> how to check kernel version?
[17:39] <Dr_willis> !ftpd
[17:39] <ubotu> FTP servers: ftpd, proftpd, pure-ftpd, twoftpd, vsftpd, MuddleFTPd, wzdftpd - Graphical front-ends: PureAdmin, GProftpd (for GNOME), KcmPureftpd (for !KDE) - See also !FTP
[17:39] <d90> without reboot
[17:39] <Dr_willis> d90,  uname -a
[17:39] <ulisse> 'lo guys
[17:40] <selector_waxx> kst, i'll try it, thnx
[17:40] <d90> Dr_willis, thanx
[17:40] <TW_> hmmmm
[17:40] <TW_> any1 good in FTP operations?
[17:40] <new2linx> o00w: this command works for me. sudo iwlist wlan0 scan
[17:40] <ulisse> is it possible that an old ATi Radeon 7000 card cannot reach the resolution of 1440x960 ?
[17:40] <TW_> need some real help here tho ><
[17:40] <kst-> selector_waxx it's only a binary tho, not a full game... you still need the original q3 content
[17:40] <new2linx> o00w: where wlan0 is the name of your wireless interface, you can find it out with iwconfig or ifconfig
[17:41] <kst-> just stating that this one works fine for me, no problems
[17:41] <TW_> btw
[17:41] <selector_waxx> i'll try it, if it doesn't work, it doesn't work
[17:41] <o00w> new2linx: does that display if the connection is encrypted and signal strength?  I only ask because I don't have a wireless card on this PC so when I run it I get an error "wlan0     Interface doesn't support scanning"
[17:42] <endo602> everytime i try to mount a samba mount in fstab i get an /etc/mtab~ lock failed
[17:42] <endo602> what is that?
[17:42] <PMantis> Hey guys, my Gutsy install failed on installing extra software. I have an <almost> empty sources.list. Can anyone pastebin their original file (USA mirror preferred)
[17:42] <TW_> dr willis do u know like cpanel, example, i can create a account that is only accessible to a certain directory do u have any idea which ftp can do it
[17:42] <Lunks> new2linx: Actually, none of my partitions are fat, so that guide does not help me at all, but thanks. Do you have any other tip? =P
[17:42] <erUSUL> PMantis: use source-o-matic
[17:42] <erUSUL> !source-o-matic | PMantis
[17:42] <Pici> !sourceomatic | PMantis
[17:42] <ubotu> PMantis: source-o-matic is a webpage where you can (re)generate your sources.list - http://www.ubuntu-nl.org/source-o-matic
[17:42] <Mcavity> I have a minor problem thats making me batty.  I'm using Gutsy. 7.10 and set some files to be shared via samba. I can see an get files using XBMC. However If i try windows networking it asks for a username and password. does anyone have any advice?
[17:42] <PMantis> erUSUL: Thanks
[17:43] <mizery> `rmmod ipw3954` --> ERROR: Module ipw3945 is in use  ---- How do I find out what is using it?
[17:43] <interbird> lsmod
[17:43] <erUSUL> PMantis: no problem ;)
[17:43] <Chrish> Hi - could someone tell me if X is on the first installation CD ?
[17:43] <o00w> PMantis: in 7.04 in synaptic under settings / repositories is all unchecked by default
[17:43] <erUSUL> mizery: lsmod | grep ipw3954
[17:43] <mizery> interbird: ipw3945               119840  1  & ieee80211              35656  1 ipw3945
[17:44] <UbuntuDesperateU> I would like to know why it always blocks
[17:44] <new2linx> o00w: it displays all that info, including channel and encryption and all that. Yeah, your  card has to support scanning for this to work.
[17:44] <PMantis> o00w: No GUI - server install. :)
[17:44] <bruenig> did ubuntu not yet switch to the superior iwl3945?
[17:44] <Chrish> HI - on the first CD, is X on there ?
[17:44] <interbird> mizery: try modprobe -r ipw3945
[17:44] <mizery> bruenig: Not by default
[17:44] <bruenig> sad
[17:45] <gilbert> #tampico
[17:45] <bruenig> well maybe in 6 months they will get around to it
[17:45] <jamiejackson> jamiejackson
[17:45] <new2linx> Lunks: sure, a quick gogle found this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RenameUSBDrive
[17:45] <bruenig> always behind is ubuntu
[17:45] <Mcavity> Chrish i only know of 1 cd.. but it would be on there...
[17:45] <UbuntuDesperateU> what do you suggest for p2p?
[17:45] <mizery> bruenig: Last I heard, iwl3945 is still developmental version
[17:45] <Dr_willis_> !p2p
[17:45] <ubotu> Peer-to-peer filesharing clients are available for several networks/protocols, including !BitTorrent, !Gnutella, !eDonkey, !DirectConnect, !SoulSeek - Multi-protocol engines include !MLDonkey and !giFT - See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/P2PFileSharing for general information
[17:45] <UbuntuDesperateU> maybe not it?
[17:46] <jamiejackson> browsing usb mounts in nautilus is hanging nautilus, but cli works fine. any ideas as to why?
[17:46] <gilbert> hola
[17:47] <new2linx> jamiejackson: do you have thumbnails being displayed? it's within the pref's of nautilus, that can take a long time to generate and display all pics thumbnails and whatnot
[17:47] <arijus> how can i set max download speed limit?
[17:47] <arijus> for all the system, not one program
[17:47] <dissection> My laptop's brightness doesn't reduce when its disconnected from AC power.. Is there an app I can download that does this?
[17:47] <jamiejackson> new2linx: does that matter also for directories without pics?
[17:48] <jamiejackson> these mounts have no pics on them
[17:48] <Lunks> new2linx: Hey, looks like I'm able to change how it is named when mounted. But unmounted it keeps this unwanted naming.
[17:48] <Lunks> new2linx: Thanks for the tip! =)
[17:48] <Pici> arijus: look into the trickle package and trickled
[17:49] <new2linx> jamiejackson: it shouldn't. what types of files are on that partition that is being mounted. what are the mount options? you can issue, "mount" and see what options are used for that mount point.
[17:49] <wereHamster> is  10GB enough for / (just the system)?
[17:49] <new2linx> Lunks: great to hear. Keep an eye out for an upcoming book on Gutsy Gibbon. Wirtten by Mark Sobell, a very known author of other linux books.
[17:50] <wereHamster> my gentoo system curerntly fits into 5.6GB..
[17:50] <Wisteso> then why wouldn't 10gb work?
[17:50] <Mcavity> heh
[17:50] <Timbermaniak> hey there
[17:50] <Wisteso> ubuntu isn't bloated
[17:50] <Timbermaniak> supp :)
[17:50] <swarm> boo :)
[17:50] <wereHamster> gentoo != ubuntu (gentoo installs less things).. just want to be sure
[17:50] <schlumpf> how can i check what system i have
[17:50] <schlumpf> via console
[17:51] <Timbermaniak> i need some help here!
[17:51] <mizery> uname -a
[17:51] <wereHamster> uname -a
[17:51] <jamiejackson> new2linx: the root just has three dirs in it, no files, and i can't even get that far; the usb drive's partitions are automounting, so i'm not using any options; mount yields: /dev/sdc5 on /media/ext3_1 type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev)
[17:51] <Mcavity> anyone able to give advice on Samba?
[17:51] <Wisteso> ubuntu's live cd fits on 700mb, which is also the installer
[17:51] <Pici> schlumpf: lsb_release -a
[17:51] <wereHamster> Wisteso, good point ;)
[17:51] <Wisteso> =)
[17:51] <Pici> !ask | Timbermaniak
[17:51] <ubotu> Timbermaniak: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[17:51] <TW_> hi any1 here can help?
[17:51] <jamiejackson> !ask
[17:52] <mizery> TW_: Yes, anyone here can help
[17:52] <TW_> want to ask whether which ftp software can set users to different directory!
[17:52] <TW_> example admin to c://
[17:52] <TW_> but
[17:52] <TW_> fakeadmin to c://files
[17:52] <TW_> example
[17:52] <Pici> TW_: A windows ftp server?
[17:52] <TW_> den like only allow this user to have download access
[17:52] <wereHamster> I'm putting ubuntu on my new X61 tablet laptop :D
[17:52] <TW_> only windows can do that?
[17:52] <g-e> hi. im trying to get rid of java.
[17:52] <mizery> TW_: c:/ is specific to the windows operating system
[17:52] <Pici> TW_: I'm asking you what OS you are putting the ftp server on.
[17:52] <g-e> i did this: apt-get remove sun-java6-jre
[17:53] <Wisteso> *gasp* but java rox
[17:53] <TW_> shld be xubuntu
[17:53] <Mcavity> c:\\ is windows nameing .. but linux FTP severs should be able to do it too
[17:53] <TW_> im just giving an example
[17:53] <g-e> and this:
[17:53] <g-e> apt-get remove gcj-4.1-base
[17:53] <TW_> ah so its able to do it?
[17:53] <TW_> which ftp?
[17:53] <TW_> vsftp or which :d

[17:53] <TW_> i have read it!
[17:53] <SeveredCross> Type which java
[17:53] <Timbermaniak> let me see theres a couple o things
[17:53] <help_me_pls> how do i start Compiz on ubuntu 7.10?
[17:54] <g-e> SeveredCross: yeah, but how do i find out?

[17:54] <TW_> so any1 know about this?
[17:54] <Timbermaniak> ill explain the case
[17:54] <SeveredCross> It'll probably say /usr/bin/java
[17:54] <Ongaku> is there a linux version of mario paint composer or is there anyway to get the windows version to work in here?
[17:54] <Mcavity> TW I really have not looked at them myself but I would be very surprised if they could not.
[17:54] <SeveredCross> Which is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/java apparently.
[17:54] <SeveredCross> Nuts.
[17:54] <eljak> help_me_pls, compiz --replace i guess
[17:54] <SeveredCross> That in and of itself is a symlink to /usr/llib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/bin/java
[17:54] <g-e> SeveredCross: yes, there is a file /usr/bin/java
[17:54] <Pici> g-e: you need to remoev java-gcj-compat
[17:54] <TW_> hmm so ur meaning is it can?
[17:54] <TW_> btw

[17:55] <arijus> Pici: i try trickle, but i don't think it works, cause i still can download with 30KB/s but i changed to 15KB/s
[17:55] <Pici> TW_: You need to read the documentation and man pages
[17:55] <TW_> i mean is it possible to set permissions for users and to certain directories
[17:55] <TW_> i read
[17:55] <TW_> didnt state about this function
[17:55] <eljak> help_me_pls, did you install ccsm
[17:55] <TW_> so i had to ask -.-
[17:55] <g-e> Pici: already did that

[18:07] <new2linx> jamiejackson: if there's nothing on it, then just use Gnome Partition editor and reformat it. it may have been a bad formatting. not sure why else it's being so slow? do you haev indexing on. let me find out what's it's called again. are you using gutsy, feisty or what?
[18:07] <PriceChild> melhisedek, all it does is restart X
[18:07] <Pici> melhisedek: ctrl-alt-backspace only restarts X, not the kernel.

[18:15] <Woodruff> i deleted one and i probably need to update it in the fstab but i dunno how
[18:15] <Pici> murlidhar: Either use the .tar.bz version, or grab a slightly older version out of the repositores.
[18:15] <BUDD}{A> anyone here know anything about bluetooth
[18:15] <eljak> Woodruff, you can add swap file
[18:15] <mizery> Running Ubuntu LiveCD 7.10, I'm trying to compile a package for testing purposes.  `make` fails due to error: /sys/types.h: No such file or directory along with /sys/stat.h, /sys/time.h and a plethora of other files.  What do I need to install to make those files available in a LiveCD environment?
[18:15] <Dr_willis_> Woodruff,  if its formated as swap use the swapon command, and then edit the fstab adding a new entry for it
[18:16] <RoRza> what is Unix Shell Scripting exactly  ? ?
[18:16] <Woodruff> how can i edit the fstab?
[18:16] <murlidhar> Pici: but i wanted to test the beta version
[18:16] <Woodruff> i need to put some address for it there from what i see

[18:16] <Woodruff> i see it it says UUID = something .. whats that ?
[18:16] <Dr_willis_> Woodruff,  you dont have to use the UUID- type address you could use /dev/hda4 or whatever its called.
[18:16] <Dr_willis_> !uuid
[18:16] <ubotu> To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID)

[18:20] <mizery> Pici: I missed your response prior to mine as I was searching as well
[18:20] <Darxus> Where are directions for recovering an ecrypted lvm with the original passphrase?  I'm installing a machine with it for the first time right now.
[18:20] <eljak> Woodruff, in fstab you should have something like :  /dev/hdaX         15        81    506520   82  Linux swap
[18:20] <tharvey> greetings!  I'm very new to unbutu/debian (very familiar with fedora/redhat linux) and I'm looking at switching to it but I'm having trouble figuring out how to simply install/enable say openssh-server - shouldn't 'apt-get install openssh-server' do the trick?  Ubuntu 7.10
[18:20] <Woodruff> eljak : i will try it , i cant realy access GParted now as it keeps saying "Kernel cant read partition tables at devise /dev/sda.."
[18:20] <Woodruff> plus it takes forever
[18:20] <_a2e_TyraeL^aw_> http://www.onepointthree.org/version1.0/index.php?site=news_comments&newsID=197&lang=uk
[18:20] <help_me_pls> Visual: im already enjoying it :P
[18:20] <Woodruff> until it scans all the partitions every time i do a command
[18:21] <help_me_pls> so, can anyone solve my problem?
[18:21] <steph_> do someone know an alternative to aMSN for GNOME, featuring MSN protocol and webcam support ?
[18:21] <Darxus> tharvey: Package name is openssh-server
[18:21] <eljak> Woodruff, but first of all you have to create /dev/hdaX as swap with fdisk
[18:21] <Pici> tharvey: yes, that should work.
[18:22] <daemon3> Anyone an expert with partitions?
[18:22] <Darxus> tharvey: The way to find a package anme is:  aptitude search sshd
[18:22] <tharvey> apt-get install is complaining about a lock
[18:22] <Woodruff> what do you mean fdisk ? i use GParted..
[18:22] <Pici> tharvey: you need to prefix the command with sudo
[18:22] <Darxus> tharvey: That's because you're running something else that is using the aptitude/apt database.
[18:22] <tharvey> yes... sudo apt-get install openssh-server complains about a lock
[18:22] <Darxus> tharvey: Or you're not logged in as root.
[18:22] <Pici> tharvey: Is synaptic open or another package manager?
[18:23] <eljak> Woodruff, fdisk is a tool to partition your drive in terminal
[18:23] <SiegHard> Hi can anyone explain me how to mount .mds file ?
[18:23] <Chrish> Hi - i understand how to read a text file using file() , but i cant find anything on how to write it back... any one know ?
[18:23] <help_me_pls> new2linx:  i used synaptic and installed G parition editor

[18:24] <kahrytan> I hate it when WINE breaks games
[18:24] <Dr_willis_> SiegHard,  you are refering to a cd image file?
[18:25] <tharvey> I didn't have an network connection when I installed and I think that hosed up the package source configuration
[18:25] <x_zeuss> does anyone know how to solve this problem during installation: (initramfs) [ 53.053436]  ata1.00: exception Emask 0×0 SAct 0×0 SErr 0×0 action 0×2 frozen
[18:25] <dissection> My laptop's brightness doesn't reduce when its disconnected from AC power.. Is there an app I can download that does this? My battery lasts for hardly an hour because of this. I reduced the brightness from nvidia-settings, but its still showing the same time remaining for the battery...
[18:25] <Pici> tharvey: it shouldnt.
[18:25] <SiegHard> DR_willis it's how to explaint two files one .mds and other .mdf no iso included
[18:25] <bronson> Control-Alt-Left and Control-Alt-Right is really unreliable in Gutsy!
[18:25] <tharvey> I should have 'main,universe,multiverse,and restricted' seletected right?
[18:25] <bronson> Half the time the computer hears Alt-Left and Alt-Right.
[18:26] <tharvey> well when I went and looked at package sources post-install no sources were checked
[18:26] <bronson> Anyone else seeing this?
[18:26] <Dr_willis_> SiegHard,  those can be converted to .iso files i do belive witht he right tools.
[18:26] <new2linx> help_me_pls: then install it. sudo aptitude install gparted
[18:26] <Pici> tharvey: yes.
[18:26] <Cyber_Stalker> SiegHard: that is an iso

[18:27] <SiegHard> Dr_willis yes it's protection crack for Wc3 :D
[18:27] <new2linx> help_me_pls: and you're under the impression that you have data on this drive? did you defrag it first in windows before connecting it to linux?
[18:27] <SiegHard> so no chances for me ?
[18:27] <nixn0ob> why is pidgin not in the feisty repos?
[18:27] <tharvey> there we go... I did not have 'main' package source selected so 'sudo apt-get install openssh-server' could not find a package

[18:27] <Woodruff> humm GParted wont let me make
[18:27] <Woodruff> a swap partition
[18:28] <new2linx> nixn0ob: it maybe in the backports repo. I think just gaim is in the feisty repo. they are the same pretty much. you can always install pidgin from the website.
[18:28] <Woodruff> I am going CRAZY!
[18:28] <tharvey> so the fact that I had no internet connection during the install of 7.10 from liveCD did not select any package sources - unless I'm supposed to go in and set them manually (would think main at least would be auto-selected)
[18:28] <help_me_pls> its a ntfs partition 120 gb with data. my linux is installed on a 40 gb partition instead of windows
[18:28] <new2linx> help_me_pls: I have to go for now, sorry, good luck
[18:28] <x_zeuss> does anyone know how to solve this problem during installation: (initramfs) [ 53.053436]  ata1.00: exception Emask 0×0 SAct 0×0 SErr 0×0 action 0×2 frozen
[18:28] <Pici> Woodruff: You cant change parititon sizes if your drives are mounted.  You need to use the liveCD or the gparted liveCD instead.
[18:28] <help_me_pls> new2linx: when i was using ubuntu 7.04 it worked.ok thanks :p
[18:28] <help_me_pls> new2linx:
[18:28] <gusgmart82_> when i try to run my "restricted drivers manager" I get an error message that says that i need to install the package "linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-14-server" to run. That package does not exist??? Im running a LAMP server with ubuntu-desktop installed on it.. Does anyone know how to fix this?
[18:28] <rebecca_> robert
[18:28] <help_me_pls> it found the partitions:P
[18:29] <help_me_pls> on gparted
[18:29] <Woodruff> Pici : I unmounted it by doing the "Swap off"
[18:29] <nixn0ob> new2linx: maybe you can help... I dont really need pidgin per se, I just find it annoying that when i add the IRC protocol to gaim it doesnt minimize to tray along with all the other stuff like AIM...
[18:29] <Woodruff> and i deleted my current swap
[18:29] <kahrytan> Pici,  I am updating game in wine that is garbage that qualifies for bronze. ie, doesnt work right but runs.
[18:29] <Woodruff> so i have no swap partitions

[18:30] <Snowman> [gusgmart82_]: try to search more about this error on google, did you try already?
[18:30] <nixn0ob> Cyber_Stalker: doesnt exist in feisty repos, maybe you should read before judging
[18:30] <Woodruff> Pici : i have no clue .. i am afraid i ruined something .. and i dont feel like re installing
[18:30] <Cyber_Stalker> i didnt judge you in any way i just gave you the source
[18:30] <Woodruff> But i did the Swapoff before
[18:30] <rebecca_> Hello
[18:30] <help_me_pls> how do i mount my ntfs partition on ubuntu 7.10 ??
[18:31] <nixn0ob> Cyber_Stalker: if it were that simple i wouldve figured it out myself.
[18:31] <daemon3> Okay, this is how my drive is laid out: Free Space (about half) | PCLinuxOS (ext2) | Ubuntu (ext3).  In gparted, why can't I resize PCLinuxOS?
[18:31] <chimaera> hi, anyone aware of a last.fm plugin for rhythmbox?

[18:31] <dissection> The gnome power manager isn't able to reduce my screen's brightness. smartdimmer isn't working. I've reduced the brightness in nvidia-settings, but it's still giving me the same battery backup as it does with full brightness. How do I fix this?  I got the 8042 chip and only the headphone jack works?
[18:33] <RobertBW> Hello
[18:33] <Woodruff> my /dev/sda2 where i had the linux swap and some 30gb free space is unmounted i del it all (including the swap partition)
[18:33] <Woodruff> and now it wont let me add a new one
[18:33] <Pici> Woodruff: Did you try from the liveCD?
[18:33] <Woodruff> i just see it as "unused space"
[18:33] <Pici> using gparted?
[18:33] <Snowman> [gusgmart82_]: man, in my opinion you have to reinstall or upgrade some packge. Doe's it work for someone of those guys you seen at google?
[18:33] <Woodruff> I dont currently have the liveCD with me
[18:33] <donner> what to install for 3d graphic ?
[18:33]  * Snowman hitting my head against the wall
[18:34] <donner> what is name of  program fvl* something like that ?
[18:34] <Pici> Woodruff: Then you either need to burn the gparted liveCD (its much smaller) or go read a book.
[18:34] <Snowman> [donner]: flash video player?!

It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages.

[18:43] <Dr_willis_> joydivision,  you mean the installer is asking for a Username/password? or are you refering to after the install?

[18:46] <ubotu> help_me_pls: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions
[18:46] <eljak> help_me_pls, you can add it to fstab
[18:46] <levander> Does everyone think Ubuntu's default orange color scheme is ugly, or is that just me?
[18:46] <Winball> I love it
[18:47] <levander> Winball: You're kidding, right?
[18:47] <PriceChild> levander, so change it
[18:47] <joydivision> Dr_willis_ any ideas ?
[18:47] <kakoonia> gorgapor: i dont know...
[18:47] <levander> PriceChild: I have on my other machine, just haven't gotten around to it on this machine yet.
[18:47] <not_a_k> I've got two identical monitors depending on which input I plug one into one of them isn't displaying the right colors. I can't make out any light gray text. Any idea what might be wrong? http://paste.ubuntu-nl.org/43683/ this is my xorg.conf
[18:47] <gorgapor> kakoonia, okay, well thankyou for trying, bye
[18:48] <kakoonia> :|
[18:48] <levander> not_a_k: Guesses: You're pushing the specs of that second montiro too far in xorg.conf or the monitor has gone bad?
[18:49] <joydivision> does anyone knows why the installer asks for username password when i boot for a new installation ?
[18:49] <Dr_willis_> joydivision,   i alays use the alternative isntaller cd.
[18:49] <levander> joydivision: Try just hitting enter?
[18:49] <mikel> hi
[18:49] <joydivision> incorrect password...
[18:50] <chickoo> I can't seem to execute winetools on Gutsy.
[18:50] <levander> joydivision: Was there a previous install of Ubuntu on that machine?
[18:50] <Dr_willis_> joydivision,  what live cd are you using exactly?
[18:50] <chickoo> I get WINEVER="0"
[18:50] <joydivision> no brand new
[18:50] <Scunizi> not_a_k, you don't have a separate "device" section for the second monitor..
[18:50] <joydivision> Ubuntu 7.10 - Supported to 2009
[18:50] <Kl4m> Is key-based ssh disabled in gutsy or what?
[18:50] <ruben-> When I use "sudo -u user screen -r" I can't attach the screen, it says "Cannot open terminal", how can this be fixed?
[18:50] <joydivision> ubuntu-7.10-desktop-i386.iso
[18:51] <Likuid_Silence> g2g
[18:51] <SliM1> does anyone know a good MP3 merging program?
[18:51] <Likuid_Silence> see u all.
[18:51] <mediabuntu> i aslo have issue with ssh, i want to log on with out placing a password. but it keeps asking for one. sudo ssh -l root <IP_ADDRESS> whoami
[18:51] <mediabuntu><EMAIL_ADDRESS>password:
[18:51] <not_a_k> levander: i don't think the monitor is at fault. if i swap the monitors the other one will have the problem.
[18:51] <levander> joydivision: You're not talking about where it's asking you for a password for the user the install process creates are you?  There, it wants you to create a password...  Not supply an existing one.
[18:51] <chickoo> !wine
[18:51] <ubotu> WINE is a compatibility layer for running Windows programs on GNU/Linux. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Wine for more information, and see !AppDB for application compatibility.

[18:51] <levander> not_a_k: See what Scunizi said.
[18:51] <gorgapor> SliM1, you could open them up in audacity and cut them together
[18:52] <not_a_k> Scunizi: didn't think I needed it. it's the same physical device. an old radeon with a dvi and vga input
[18:52] <mediabuntu> Kl4m: what dose it say when you try and log on.
[18:52] <SliM1> gorgapor: there are like 500 mp3s
[18:52] <gorgapor> SliM1, ah, that may be a problem. i would have to research it to know more, sorry
[18:52] <Scunizi> not_a_k, well if you want to hook two monitors up at the same time, you've defined the parameters for one but not the other.
[18:53] <KANE777> What info can isp log when i'm using p2p to download stuff?
[18:53] <SliM1> ok, don't worry
[18:53] <levander> not_a_k: You have to set up a 2nd monitor manually in xorg.conf, the automated installers don't do it.
[18:53] <Pici> mediabuntu: you enabled root's password?
[18:53] <Lunar_Lamp> In gnome, how do I get rid of the black lines when I minimise windows?
[18:54] <not_a_k> levander: i do have a second monitor section. and i do have fully functional dual screen support. i turn the second one on with xrandr
[18:54] <Scunizi> Lunar_Lamp, black lines?
[18:54] <levander> Lunar_Lamp: you're talking about the title bar when you say black lines?
[18:54] <Lunar_Lamp> Scunizi, no, when I minimise a window, the process of minimising it shows black decreasing rectangles to give a visual indication of the window being minimised
[18:55] <Lunar_Lamp> (I don't have compiz turned on)
[18:55] <Scunizi> Lunar_Lamp, are you running the effects?
[18:55] <eljak> mediabuntu, edit you ssh_config file and set passwordauthentication to no, that might help
[18:56] <eljak> mediabuntu, also check sshd_config as well
[18:56] <mediabuntu> Pici: i edited ssh_config and set it to permit root logon
[18:56] <Pici> loucas: I *think* the gtweakui package has a program in it to disable that.
[18:56] <Pici> mediabuntu: And you unlocked the root account?
[18:56] <Kl4m> mediabuntu: it asks for the password.
[18:56] <Scunizi> Lunar_Lamp, right out of the box gutsy has effects turned on.. so that might be what you are experiencing.. have you installed compizconfig-settings-manager?
[18:56] <Pici> mediabuntu: I strongly suggest not doing that.
[18:57] <mediabuntu> Pici: i really need two
[18:57] <mediabuntu> plu i know how to secure it :)
[18:57] <mediabuntu> so how do i do it ?
[18:57] <Pici> mediabuntu: What are you looking for it to do? not ask for the password at all?
[18:57] <UndertakerX2> Is the root password the same pw i use to log in to ubuntu?
[18:58] <Scunizi> UndertakerX2, yes
[18:58] <legolas-San> Maybe I just missed it, but did Ubuntu not ask about what I wanted to install and rather just installed... everything... by default? I expected a "normal" or "custom" option somewhere in the installer.
[18:58] <levander> UndertakerX2: by default, root has no password
[18:58] <UndertakerX2> hmm i figuered so but mines nto working :(
[18:58] <DrUnKnMuNkY> Hey. does anyone know of any solutions to problems with suspend to disk or ram? i don't have the fglrx driver.. my video card's an intel gma950.
[18:58] <Scunizi> legolas-San, it just does a default install.  no options.. you can add or subtract from thee.
[18:58] <scorp123> legolas-San: Nope, Ubuntu installs it's default.
[18:58] <Scunizi> *there
[18:59] <legolas-San> Why does it do that? It's one of the things that annoy the hell out of me about Windows!
[18:59] <charlesg3> how can I obtain the .deb file using dpkg for a particular package?
[18:59] <legolas-San> Why can't one choose what you don't want?
[18:59] <mediabuntu> Pici: im using backuppc. it needs to log on and run a buckup.
[18:59] <Pici> mediabuntu: why are you running sudo before ssh?
[18:59] <scorp123> legolas-San: not needed ... Ubuntu comes with a working minimum choice. And you can add more stuff later on if you need or want to.
[18:59] <Scunizi> legolas-San, because ubuntu tried to give the best options for people that know nothing about computers and just want the functionality right out of the box..
[18:59] <help_me_pls> how do i mount using fstab? partition /dev/sda5 ?
[19:00] <dissection> The gnome power manager isn't able to reduce my screen's brightness. smartdimmer isn't working. I've reduced the brightness in nvidia-settings, but it's still giving me the same battery backup as it does with full brightness. How do I fix this? The brightness keys are not working.
[19:00] <Kl4m> mediabuntu: It works now. for some reason the id_rsa.pub was different (md5) from the authorized_keys, although they looked the same
[19:00] <SpeCon> hi all, is there any P2P client for linux ?
[19:00] <Pici> !p2p | SpeCon
[19:00] <scorp123> SpeCon: of course ... :-)

[19:00] <SpeCon> i want a P2P client that is grapical
[19:00] <legolas-San> Are you really serious? Surely a big button saying "default" and one saying "custom" isn't confusing?
[19:00] <SpeCon> not in bash
[19:00] <Scunizi> oops.. some one beat me to it.
[19:01] <Pici> SpeCon: please see ubotu's repsonse.
[19:01] <SpeCon> kay Pici
[19:01] <Scunizi> SpeCon, they are..

[19:01] <SpeCon> scorp123,  i didn't see it this goes fast in this channel

[19:02] <UBUNTUISLOVED> reng what about your video card? is it onboard?
[19:02] <Pici> legolas-San: ?
[19:02] <Scunizi> the-killer, install compizeffects-settings-manager in synaptic.. you can enable it in there.
[19:02] <scorp123> legolas-San: you can still add stuff later via Synaptic
[19:02] <Reng> im not using onboard card
[19:03] <mjtunes> how i manually run 'dpkg --configure -a'
[19:03] <UBUNTUISLOVED> anyone here using a T61 laptop?
[19:03] <legolas-San> Pici: Ubuntu installs all apps by default and you cannot change it.
[19:03] <Kl4m> Who are "all those people" ?
[19:03] <legolas-San> scorp123: ...
[19:03] <Pici> legolas-San: Okay? Is there a question here?
[19:03] <Reng> im checking the ram status with System Monitor and HTOP
[19:03] <irvken> got a usb drive attached to a remote server how can I mount it?
[19:03] <scorp123> Reng: what does "free" say?
[19:03] <legolas-San> WHY does Ubuntu force all those useless apps on you like Windows does without any ability to deselect them?!

[19:04] <Reng> Free shows 3985212
[19:04] <Kl4m> Radio1: you can install skype in linux
[19:04] <Scunizi> legolas-San, asked and answered.. usefull to other.. just uninstall them.

[19:04] <mjtunes> Radio1,  skype lol
[19:04] <Radio1> is it in synapt.
[19:04] <scorp123> legolas-San: Ubuntu is already down at a total minimum, e.g. 1 CD install. If you want clutter and bloat, I suggest you try SUSE :-)
[19:04] <Kl4m> check the links
[19:04] <Pici> legolas-San: you can uninstall them if you want?
[19:04] <mediabuntu> Pici: yep i have exchanged the keys. i done as instructed here. http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/faq/ssh.html
[19:04] <legolas-San> scorp123: What the hell are you talking about?
[19:04] <the-killer> Scunizi: i can found it im on 7.04 it is working before 3 reboot
[19:04] <Kl4m> mediabuntu: oh another backuppc user, hi
[19:04] <legolas-San> ... ... ...
[19:04] <legolas-San> Is this some bizarre parallel universe or something?
[19:05] <mediabuntu> Kl4m: your the 1 with ssh problems yeh ?
[19:05] <Kl4m> it's a support channel
[19:05] <legolas-San> Where nobody reads what I type and nothing is what it seems?
[19:05] <Popolon> hi
[19:05] <Scunizi> the-killer, sorry  I've never run 7.04 only 6.06 and 7.10.
[19:05] <scorp123> legolas-San: SUSE until recently shipped with 5 CD's and 1 DVD. Now they're down to 3 CD's and one DVD. More choice than you can handle ... but some people like this. So maybe this is what you want?
[19:05] <irvken> Scunizi, I need to know how to identify as a device before I can use those
[19:05] <UndertakerX2> Any good AVI to DVD programs for ubuntu?
[19:05] <Popolon> I just tried to install lzma on ubuntu 7.10 and seen than lzma version is 4.43 ???
[19:05] <UBUNTUISLOVED> legolas-san what is it your trying to do?
[19:05] <legolas-San> scorp123: You obviously haven't read a single message from me.
[19:05] <Popolon> that's an unstable and developpement version
[19:05] <Popolon> not intended to use
[19:05] <the-killer> also i got probleme when i want to upgrade to 7.10
[19:06] <Pici> mediabuntu: Does it prompt you for a password if you just use `ssh root@address` and not `sudo ssh root@address`
[19:06] <the-killer> they say any errors on md5sum
[19:06] <Popolon> where the format can change before the final version !!!
[19:06] <the-killer> :s
[19:06] <Scunizi> irvken, is the drive mounted on a linux box or a windows box.
[19:06] <legolas-San> UBUNTUISLOVED: I am trying to understand why the hell Ubuntu installs ALL apps by default, AND doesn't give you any ability to deselect them BEFORE you do the initial installation.
[19:06] <Pici> !offtopic | legolas-San
[19:06] <ubotu> legolas-San: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[19:06] <scorp123> legolas-San: Your messages don't make much sense. So that should tell you something ;-)
[19:06] <Scunizi> irvken, or is it networked.
[19:06] <irvken> it's not mounted, it's just attached and switched on
[19:06] <Reng> so if the value of FREE is 3985212 menory, this its is equal to 4gb. right?
[19:06] <Kl4m> mediabuntu: I solved it. If you want to use backuppc to backup a particular home folder on a linux machine i'll send you ca config file
[19:06] <Popolon> http://tukaani.org/lzma/download
[19:06] <mediabuntu> hey i have attack , [error] [client <IP_ADDRESS>] Digest: user `mythtv' in realm `MythTV'
[19:06] <Popolon> the stable version is the 4.32.3
[19:06] <gorgapor> legolas-San, i think the idea is that they give a basic setup that fulfills the most needs for the most users, and then if you need more or less, it's easy to add or subtract
[19:06] <irvken> Scunizi, and on the other side of town
[19:06] <legolas-San> Pici: Yeah... a question about Ubuntu is off-topic in a channel called #ubuntu... right...
[19:06] <UBUNTUISLOVED> well have you even seen a desktop not install calc etc...?
[19:07] <gorgapor> legolas-San, ease of installation is valued more than customization at install time
[19:07] <Kl4m> !offtopic | legolas-San
[19:07] <ubotu> legolas-San: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[19:07] <Pici> legolas-San: its not a support question.
[19:07] <scorp123> gorgapor: exactly. 100% agree with you.
[19:07] <UBUNTUISLOVED> thats how ubuntu was designed if you dont like it customize your own verison of ubuntu
[19:07] <legolas-San> gorgapor: And that would be fine, only they force it on you. You can't choose to deselect say GIMP or some other useless app I won't ever use.
[19:07] <Pici> legolas-San: you are free to ask about it in #ubuntu-offtopic
[19:07] <charlesg3> are there source packages for all packages?
[19:07] <Scunizi> irvken, ahh.... now I'm getting the picture.. you probably have firewalls on each side you'll have to deal with.  this is a questions that #ubuntu-server might be able to answer better.. sorry I can't
[19:07] <UndertakerX2> Any good AVI to DVD programs for ubuntu?
[19:07] <gorgapor> legolas-San, does your grandmother know whether or not she wants gimp?
[19:07] <Pici> charlesg3: most, but not all.
[19:07] <irvken> Scunizi,
[19:07] <UBUNTUISLOVED> most users need certain apps why not install them considering ubuntu cannot satisfy everyone
[19:07] <mediabuntu> Kl4m: i actually have it configure its just the ssh side of things it cant connect. (in oder to use the config it has to connect first wright ?
[19:08] <Pici> !offtopic
[19:08] <ubotu> #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, #ubuntu+1 supports the development version of Ubuntu and #ubuntu-offtopic is for random chatter. Welcome!
[19:08] <mjtunes> how i manually run 'dpkg --configure -a'  plz ppeps
[19:08] <Ranpha1> 3 MiB/s network speeds is this fast for a 1 gigabit connection?
[19:08] <irvken> no firewalls, I'm inside the box, I just need to know how to identify tyhe device
[19:08] <irvken> I can do the rest
[19:08] <amishninja> Anyone ever hear of Ubuntu just up and deciding to crash/restart the gnome session?
[19:08] <UBUNTUISLOVED> why use customize when users first use ubuntu dont know what they need
[19:08] <charlesg3> Pici: I'm searching for pyqt4-dev-tools, for some reason libpythonplugin.so isn't installed, I found the patch here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/python-qt4/+bug/158342 but am having trouble applying it
[19:08] <gorgapor> (thankyou pici) </flamewar>
[19:08] <Pici> UBUNTUISLOVED: Please move this to offtopic or cease discussion.
[19:08] <Kl4m> login as "backuppc"  on your backup host and connect a first time to the machine to backup. You need to say "yes" to the key dialog
[19:08] <SpeCon> At ubuntu: When i need to fill in my pasword to install stuff it says that my pasword is NOT correct. When i go to the terminal and i do SU password it works what is the problem ?
[19:08] <cookie666> can anyone help me with a GRUB read error?
[19:08] <scorp123> legolas-San: read above. The sense behind this is that you get a complete system with 1 program for each possible task you may or may not want to do. So yes, they "force" gimp on you, so you at least have one image editing program. If you don't like it ... well it's fairly easy to remove it and/or add other programs later on.
[19:08] <Esteth> how do i remove my last gnome-panel? I want to use kicker in gnome, but killall gnome-panel just either spawns me a new one, or crashes back to login :S
[19:08] <UBUNTUISLOVED> relax i was making a point
[19:08] <Kl4m> mediabuntu: if you're root on it , "su backuppc"
[19:09] <mediabuntu> Pici: it stikk wants a password<EMAIL_ADDRESS>password:
[19:09] <Pici> scorp123: This is offtopic.
[19:09] <SpeCon> i am root on it in TERMinal
[19:09] <scorp123> Pici: I agree
[19:09] <Scunizi> irvken, is the drive networked as in connected via ethernet? or is it usb plugged into something and is that something windows or linux?
[19:09] <UndertakerX2> Any good AVI to DVD programs for ubuntu?
[19:09] <DrUnKnMuNkY> Hey. does anyone know of any solutions to problems with suspend to disk or ram? i don't have an ati card (no fglrx)
[19:09] <Pici> mediabuntu: And if you enter root's password?
[19:09] <irvken> it's usb plugged into linux
[19:09] <SpeCon> but for synapic i cannot use it because my pass is wrong it said
[19:09] <Pici> mediabuntu: does it work?
[19:09] <scorp123> !dvd | UndertakerX2
[19:09] <ubotu> UndertakerX2: For playing DVD, see http://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/desktopguide/C/video.html - "libdvdcss2" can be found at !Medibuntu or (for Feisty and earlier) http://wiki.ubuntu.com/SeveasPackages - Try k9copy (available in !Universe) for backing up DVDs
[19:09] <irvken> Scunizi, it's usb plugged into linux
[19:09] <Pici> SpeCon: you need to enter your password for synaptic, not root's password.
[19:09] <UBUNTUISLOVED> look under /media/ directory
[19:09] <UndertakerX2> thanks scorp but as i said i need AVI to DVD, can those apps do that?
[19:10] <Scunizi> irvken, and can you ssh or get into that linux box to look at fstab? or do a lsusb?
[19:10] <Kl4m> mediabuntu: make a copy of the file .ssh/id_rsa.pub on the backup host, to your machine, named, ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
[19:10] <scorp123> UndertakerX2: you mean like recording an AVI movie onto a DVD? So you get a DVD movie in the end?
[19:10] <Scunizi> irvken, also has that drive been "shared" by the linux box it's plugged into.
[19:10] <Kl4m> mediabuntu: I had a problem because the key was not exactly the same, I don't know why. copying the file instead of a copy-paste solved it
[19:10] <UndertakerX2> yeah like Nero
[19:10] <Scunizi> irvken, brb
[19:10] <waterloo_sunset> can someone quickly point out what is wrong with this command: sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers$(uname -r)
[19:11] <UndertakerX2> but something faster if possible more like WinAVI
[19:11] <Kl4m> waterloo_sunset: you're missing a - before the $

[19:11] <waterloo_sunset> thx
[19:12] <Calin24> during startup my system hangs for 5+ minutes at Checking Quotas... any suggestions why or how to fix it?
[19:12] <scorp123> UndertakerX2: take a look at "kino" ... it has an "Export" function that will generate the necessary files for a Video DVD. Once that's done you can easily burn the stuff e.g. with "k3b".
[19:12] <mediabuntu> Kl4m: i done copy and paste. so what i should have done was compy the hole folder the ranem and place on the client. /root/.ssh.authorixed_kers
[19:12] <UndertakerX2> thanks scorp
[19:13] <the-killer> Hello how can i upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 i had do that with update manager and they say md5sum error
[19:13] <the-killer> :s
[19:13] <elliotjhug> Hi all, I realise that this is incredibly unsupported and all that. But what are the technical possibilities of moving my home directory onto a new partition without reinstalling ubuntu?
[19:13] <mediabuntu> excuse my typing :-*
[19:14] <UndertakerX2> Scorp, or anyone, whats better Nero for Linux or kino?
[19:14] <Calin24> elliotjhug: very easy... just mv /home /home2, mkdir /home, mount the new drive as /home and cp -R /home2/* /home
[19:14] <nanonyme> hmm, does anyone know why libcurl3-dev is a virtual package for libcurl4-dev?
[19:14] <Calin24> I just did it this morning changing my /home from local to a raid 5 partition
[19:14] <Kl4m> mediabuntu: /root/.ssh/autorized keys . ssh wants restricted permissions on these files also, or it will fail. the .ssh directory should be owned by root.root (see chown, the permissions on .ssh/ should be 700 (see chmod) and 600 on authorized_keys
[19:14] <times9> can I extend my desktop to a second screen using a second comp (a laptop) and vnc? ala maxivista
[19:15] <elliotjhug> Calin24: Thanks alot :) - I'll keep a note of that.
[19:15] <nanonyme> seems especially weird considering there is no libcurl4 to install
[19:16] <batoms>  i'm also seeing  "ad_idmap_cached_connection: Failed to obtain schema details!" in the winbind log
[19:16] <Kl4m> mediabuntu: you did read about key-based ssh right, it's "very non-trivial"
[19:16] <batoms> i've pulled all the stops and can't get the ADS integration working
[19:16] <Pici> nanonyme: libcurl4-dev is provided by libcurl4-gnutls-dev
[19:16] <batoms> i had it working with Ubuntu 7.04 but the exact same config isn't working on Ubuntu 7.10
[19:16] <nanonyme> Pici, you misread the question
[19:17] <mediabuntu> Kl4m: sorry what you mean ?
[19:17] <Pici> nanonyme: did I?
[19:17] <Russian> Can you adjust the screensize of Virtual box to match the screen, like you are workingin full view?
[19:17] <nanonyme> yes
[19:17] <Russian> how?
[19:17] <Pici> nanonyme: Why?
[19:17] <nanonyme> Pici, i asked why there isn't libcurl3-dev when libcurl3 is the binary to install
[19:17] <tharvey> what is the recommended course of action to install vmware-player on 7.10?
[19:17] <batoms> oop, wrong channel
[19:17] <nanonyme> Pici, libcurl3-dev is a virtual package for libcurl4-dev
[19:17] <Pici> nanonyme: I dont know then.
[19:17] <nanonyme> it just doesn't make any sense to me
[19:18] <mediabuntu> Kl4m: :'( now i cant log on to the host /etc/ssh/ssh_config: line 53: Bad configuration option: PermitRootLogin
[19:18] <Pici> nanonyme: Its weird.
[19:18] <mjtunes> how i manually run 'dpkg --configure -a'  plz ppeps
[19:18] <EJ> what is the command to remove a directory when it is not empty ?
[19:18] <gsak> mediabuntu-> whats your line 53 of that ssh_config file?
[19:18] <MenZa> EJ: rm -r <directory>
[19:18] <cookie666> I just installed Ubuntu 7.04 on a 160GB hard drive, when I restart it gives me a "grub read error" can anyone help me?  Do I have to change something in menu.lst?
[19:18] <MenZa> EJ: rm -rf if you wish to force it.
[19:19] <EJ> MenZa: thanx
[19:19] <mediabuntu> gsak: how can i see it it wont let me log on any more :9
[19:19] <gsak> mediabuntu-> then use the liveCd to recover
[19:19] <Esteth> How do i tell gnome to start kicker instead of gnome-panel?
[19:19] <mediabuntu> join me at #backuppc
[19:19] <Pici> mediabuntu: log on as a normal user
[19:20] <Scunizi> irvken, back
[19:20] <burwaco> hello everyone!
[19:21] <mediabuntu> http://pastebin.com/m40643373
[19:21] <dfeeser> i just installed the nvidia GeForce 7300 GT into a PCI Express slot, changed the entry in BIOS, but now X will not start
[19:21] <Scunizi> burwaco, I hope your not expecting all 1356 of us to say hi.  :)
[19:21] <dwayne> that's a lot of users
[19:21] <nanonyme> Pici, i know. that's why i asked
[19:22] <Pici> nanonyme: did you see any bugs filed for it?
[19:22] <dwayne> how do you change the default server xchat connects to?
[19:22] <aantn> is it possible to make python apps look like normal gtk apps?
[19:22]  * MasterScript just watching
[19:23] <dwayne> found it
[19:23] <the-killer> Hello how can i upgrade 7.04 to 7.10 i had do that with update manager and they say md5sum error
[19:23] <Pici> the-killer: Whats the exact error?
[19:23] <eljak> aantn, am sure there should be a py-gtk library :)
[19:23] <times9> can I extend my desktop to a second screen using a second comp (a laptop) and vnc? ala maxivista
[19:23] <mjtunes> how i manually run 'dpkg --configure -a'  plz ppeps
[19:24] <Pici> mjtunes: sudo dpkg --configure -a?
[19:24] <ompaul> mjtunes, sudo dpkg --configure -a
[19:24] <aantn> eljak: they don't look normal
[19:24] <Esteth> aantn: Python is not what makes the apps look different, it's the windowing toolkit they use. If a python app is using pyQT instead of pyGTK, i don't think there's a way to change it, unfortunately
[19:24] <mjtunes> dur
[19:24] <burwaco> is there anyone having problems with flashgames in firefox ? mine are really choppy... I'm running the flibflashplayer.so, Shockwave Flash 9.0 r48, plugin...
[19:25] <aantn> Esteth: I would assume that the login window's setting panel uses pygtk
[19:25] <mediabuntu>  now i just get Permission denied (publickey,password).
[19:25] <nanonyme> Pici, no. and mystically it seems to work
[19:25] <Esteth> aantn: I beleive it does in ubuntu. In kubuntu there may be a different setting pannel.
[19:25] <nanonyme> Pici, so it isn't really a bug, it's just a weird feature
[19:26] <dfeeser> does anyone know how to reconfigure X for use with my nvidia chip in X
[19:26] <mjtunes> and how i make my extra h/ds mount on boot
[19:26] <mjtunes> plz
[19:26] <charlesg3> dpkg-reconfigure
[19:27] <nanonyme> i don't know any graphical tool for that but /etc/fstab help
[19:27] <cfedde> why can't I get 7.10 to use as high a monitor res as I could get 7.4 to use?
[19:27] <Esteth> dfseer: The restricted drivers manager should sort out the nvidia drivers for you and i beleive it reconfigures X aswell
[19:27] <eljak> mjtunes, add to fstab file
[19:27] <dfeeser> Esteth: so i should uninstall it and then reinstall it?
[19:27] <mjtunes> kk
[19:27] <dfeeser> it is configured for my onboard ATI now
[19:27] <Scunizi> dfeeser, sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
[19:27] <magic_ninja> i'm looking into buying a new computer, what are some good nvidia graphics cards to choose from
[19:28] <Pici> magic_ninja: Join #ubuntu-offtopic or ##hardware please, this is offtopic for this channel.
[19:28] <qmiz> I have some problem with my dualview. Can someone help me? I have a Nvidia card.
[19:28] <Kl4m> magic_ninja: you mean compatible with linux/ubuntu?
[19:28] <geolite> quick 7.10 question. Is there built-in support for dual monitor setups without having to have users hit config files manually?
[19:28] <Scunizi> !ask | qmiz
[19:28] <ubotu> qmiz: Don't ask to ask a question. Just ask your question :)
[19:28] <magic_ninja> Kl4m: preferably for gaming, i want a great card
[19:28] <Blahmon3000> how come i cant ping <IP_ADDRESS>????
[19:28] <Esteth> Probably not so good an idea to uninstall drivers if you allready have the correct ones. if X is not using the driver you installed with restricted driver manager, try changing the entry in /etc/X11/xorg.conf from nv or vesa to nvidia, but make a backup of that file in case things get hairy
[19:29] <manchicken> Is there a GUI diff program for GNOME?
[19:29] <scorp123> UndertakerX2: sorry, I was away .... "Nero for Linux" is very limited in functionality. It's pretty far away from the Windows version as far as features go.
[19:29] <tharvey> having trouble setting up a persistant vncserer session (indpendent of local session) using vncserver - log shows 'could not open default font 'fixed'' - any suggestions?
[19:29] <Pici> Blahmon3000: Why can't you ping a random address internal to your network?
[19:29] <Scunizi> manchicken, what's a diff program?
[19:29] <batoms> anyone have samba/winbind/ADS authentication working with Gutsy
[19:29] <manchicken> Scunizi: A program that shows the differences between files
[19:30] <batoms> i'm using the same configs as I used on feisty but it doesn't seem to work anymore
[19:30] <scorp123> manchicken: gvimdiff
[19:30] <Transience> i'm installing ubuntu for the first time, should i use the 32 or 64bit version?
[19:30] <scorp123> Transience: depends on your CPU
[19:30] <tharvey> Transience, depends on your system - is it 63 or 32?
[19:30] <Esteth> batoms: I have samba authentication working in gutsy for people to read from my samba share, but i havn't tried connecting to another authenticated samba share from my computer
[19:30] <Transience> i can use either
[19:30] <scorp123> tharvey: 64 you wanted to say ;)
[19:30] <tharvey> heh
[19:30] <manchicken> scorp123: That's not a GNOMEish program :P
[19:30] <magic_ninja> how is linux support for dual 64 bit processors
[19:30] <tharvey> i'm a bit short and a byte late
[19:30] <Pici> Transience: There are some issues with proprietary applications under 64bit
[19:30] <scorp123> manchicken: gvimdiff?? Of course it is.
[19:30] <Transience> centrino duo is the processor
[19:31] <scorp123> manchicken: as you can tell by the letter "g" there :-)
[19:31] <Transience> oh ok
[19:31] <batoms> Esteth: what i'm looking for is a working config for authenticating against an active directory server
[19:31] <Transience> so i should use the 32bit version then?
[19:31] <Esteth> Transience: unless you have more than 3gb of ram, i'd reccomend the 32bit version, it's less problematic
[19:31] <Dan2552> best use 32 imo
[19:31] <Transience> okay thanks
[19:31] <UndertakerX2> whats the equivalent of ipconfig for command line in ubuntu?
[19:31] <Dan2552> ifconfig
[19:31] <EdgEy> ifconfig
[19:31] <geolite> ifconfig
[19:31] <scorp123> UndertakerX2: ifconfig
[19:31] <tharvey> so is the lack of documentation for 7.10 because its so new?  this is my first time looking at Ubuntu and the first thing I notice is that I goto the online docs and there is nothing for the current release
[19:31] <fftb> :)
[19:31] <UndertakerX2> lol thanks all
[19:31] <qmiz> how do i fix the resolution probelm i have? when i choose to use dualview the backgrounds gets extreamly big
[19:32] <tharvey> I almost feel like I should have installed 7.04 instead of 7.10
[19:32] <manchicken> scorp123: No, that's just vim wrapped in a GTK styled window.  It's still a text-based editor.
[19:32] <Esteth> batoms: That's a bit over my head i'm afraid, i just installed a package and read a tutorial :S
[19:32] <EdgEy> tharvey, are you having problems ?
[19:32] <Dan2552> how do you disable desktop icons? They're quite annoying
[19:32] <tharvey> EdgEy, yes, I can't figure out how to get a persistant vncserver independent of local session
[19:32] <scorp123> UndertakerX2: if you're not sure what the command to something is use the "apropos" command, e.g. "apropos interface" will spit out all the system commands that have something to do with network interfaces. Very useful ;-)
[19:32] <Esteth> tharvey: Most of the documentation for 7.04 should still be relevant to 7.10 :)
[19:32] <Scunizi> qmiz, you mean that it stretches the background across both monitors?
[19:33] <tharvey> also trying to figure out how to install vmware player
[19:33] <cookie666> can anyone help me with a grub read error that I get when I reboot after installing Ubuntu?
[19:33] <CarstenF> Gents i'm in trouble , i just installed ubuntu 7.10 on a Via Eden-5000 mobo with a 40GB 2.5" hitachi drive - Grub starts up but says stage 1.5 and error 2
[19:33] <wolflord> do you have to be root to view the /etc/passwd file ??
[19:33] <Esteth> How do i remove gnome-panel, or start kicker instead of it?
[19:33] <jamiejackson> yes
[19:33] <tharvey> the sole reason I'm looking at moving away from fedora is because I'm sick of having to rebuild things like vmware player every kernel update - want to see if Ubuntu handles that better
[19:33] <scorp123> manchicken: of course it is. "vim" and "diff" are always about text. But the menus work tip top, so you don't need to bother about vim's cryptic commands such as ":wq" and all that.
[19:33] <TumaT> someone knows how to change or remove gnome logo from nautilus?
[19:33] <Dan2552> tharvey: vmware player installed alright on mine
[19:33] <Scunizi> cookie666, see http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm  ... put grub on all your boot partitions for backup.
[19:34] <jamiejackson> wolford: i take it back, seems no
[19:34] <tharvey> Dan2552, how did you install vmware-player?
[19:34] <qmiz> Scunizi, think thats the problem
[19:34] <Mmjack> Hi. ive been having this problem. when i install the nvidia driver on this computer the screen flickers and freezes occasionaly. ime using a DV6000 (AMD64) This is realy anoying as it disables compiz and all 3d accellorated effects...  Is there any soloution to this yet?
[19:34] <wotamuckinfuddle> hi all, im having trouble with the repositories on feisty fawn, translation-en_GB cdrom://ubuntu 7.04_feisty fawn_-release i386(20070418)feisty/main translation-en_GB. also probs with restricted, universe, multiverse, any ideas?
[19:34] <jamiejackson> tharvey: gutsy or feisty
[19:34] <wolflord> then why cant i get into it
[19:34] <Dan2552> tharvey: i think i downloaded the archive from the site
[19:34] <tharvey> gusty
[19:34] <wolflord> cd to /etc
[19:34] <TumaT> someone knows how to change or remove gnome logo from nautilus?
[19:34] <manchicken> scorp123: Have you ever used kompare?
[19:34] <jamiejackson> okay apt-get won't work in feisty
[19:34] <wolflord> i can see the file passwd and passwd-
[19:34] <tharvey> Dan2552, which archive... not rpm but tgz I guess?  I'm used to rpm's from fedora
[19:34] <jamiejackson> so you've gotta download it from their site
[19:34] <manchicken> scorp123: Or winmerge?
[19:34] <wolflord> but when I try and cd to it
[19:34] <scorp123> manchicken: "k"ompare <= sounds like a KDE program?
[19:35] <manchicken> scorp123: I'm looking for something more like that.
[19:35] <wolflord> it says its not a dir
[19:35] <jamiejackson> i downloaded vmwareserver
[19:35] <manchicken> scorp123: Yeah
[19:35] <scorp123> manchicken: sorry, garbled message
[19:35] <jamiejackson> it's ntoa dir
[19:35] <jamiejackson> it's a text file
[19:35] <jamiejackson> cat /etc/passwd
[19:35] <scorp123> manchicken: kompare ... sounds like a KDE program?
[19:35] <CarstenF> Gents i'm in trouble , i just installed ubuntu 7.10 on a Via Eden-5000 mobo with a 40GB 2.5" hitachi drive - Grub starts up but says stage 1.5 and error 2
[19:35] <Dan2552> tharvey: i think it was tar... it wasnt RPM, and TGZ is slackware i think
[19:35] <wolflord> I use gedit
[19:35] <qmiz> Scunizi, I want two diffrent backgrounds but it seems like the orginal is streched out?
[19:35] <TumaT> someone knows how to change or remove gnome logo from nautilus?
[19:35] <manchicken> scorp123: Yes
[19:35] <scorp123> manchicken: haven't been on KDE in a while now
[19:35] <wolflord> would that make a dif
[19:35] <manchicken> scorp123: Ever used winmerge?
[19:35] <Scunizi> qmiz, dual monitor setup is now handled by xrandr (i think).  If you want two independant screens each displaying the same background but not "stretched" the older xinerama extension would do it.. I'm not sure if you can implement it though.  You might ask in #ubuntu-effects.
[19:35] <tharvey> there is nothing you can do with rpm's on Ubuntu right?
[19:35] <jamiejackson> i've got winmerge in wine
[19:36] <jamiejackson> i like it better than linux alternative
[19:36] <jamiejackson> s
[19:36] <scorp123> manchicken: although ... my corporate desktop is KDE but whenever I do "vi" or "diff" I am on the command line anyway :-)  So ... sorry, no, I don't know those programs.
[19:36] <Dan2552> tharvey: you can convert them to .deb - but i found it caused loads of extra trouble
[19:36] <Esteth> scorp123: I think eclipse or netbeans has a visual diff mode, but that's maybe a bit heavy
[19:36] <Scunizi> tharvey, not necessarily.  Alien might be able to convert the rpm
[19:36] <Mmjack>  Hi. ive been having this problem. when i install the nvidia driver on this computer the screen flickers and freezes occasionaly. ime using a DV6000 (AMD64) This is realy anoying as it disables compiz and all 3d accellorated effects...  Is there any soloution to this yet?
[19:36] <mediabuntu> I dont know what i have done but i cant issue last on a terminal any more. i get error  last: /var/log/wtmp:
 try using envy!!
[19:36] <manchicken> meld looks like it might be what I'm looking for
[19:36] <scorp123> Esteth: that's "heavy metal" ... but OK, if you use them anyway ...
[19:36] <qmiz> Scunizi, thx. Im kinda newbie whit this linux stuff. :P
[19:37] <mediabuntu> last: /var/log/wtmp: No such file or directory
[19:37] <Dan2552> how do you disable desktop icons on gutsy?
[19:37] <Scunizi> qmiz, I understand... me too.. be at it a year+ and still feel like a babe in the woods... one step at a time.
[19:37] <jamiejackson> kompare, kdiff3, meld, winmerge in wine
[19:37] <jamiejackson> i've got em all installed
[19:38] <Esteth> scorp123: not tried them, but meld and xffm are both gnome apps
[19:38] <scorp123> Esteth: I just installed "meld" .... gonna take a look
[19:38] <Pici> mediabuntu: the last manpage suggests to `touch /var/log/wtmp` if you get that error
[19:38] <CarstenF> How do i mount my / partition on a hdd , when booted from tne 7.10 install cd ??
[19:38] <Dan2552> maybe i should just consider xubuntu?
[19:39] <Mmjack> Hey. is there any fix to Nvidia HP Drivers flickering on Gusty? for the DV6000
[19:39] <Scunizi> CarstenF, you want to swap the root on the live cd for the one on the harddrive?
[19:39] <manchicken> scorp123: Yes, "meld" is the program I was looking for.
[19:39] <Anakin77> #ubuntu-it
[19:39] <Anakin77> excuse me
[19:39] <Scunizi> Mmjack, are you trying to use HP's nvidia drivers?
[19:39] <CarstenF> Scunizi: i'd like to see my grub on the hdd , as it gives stage 1.5 error 2 , on boot

[19:40] <^robertj> does anyone here have any experience with gpt mbr-protection partitions?
[19:40] <Pici> CarstenF: sudo chroot /path/to/root/
[19:40] <tharvey> so I cant figure out how to get a vnc session into a Ubuntu 7.10 desktop that someone else is logged into.  My user is logged in with remote desktop enabled, just not the active session - when I vnc in I get a black screen - this is why I'm trying to figure out how to run vncserver independent of current sessions
[19:40] <Scunizi> CarstenF, no need to mount / to get to grub on the hd.. check out http://users.bigpond.net.au/hermanzone/p15.htm
[19:40] <^robertj> I'm having trouble getting mine setup properly and word-from-on-high is that it is mis-setting my default partition type and causing grub to be unhappyu
[19:41] <Scunizi> CarstenF, or if you want to just look at the grub list on the hd then maybe sudo mount -a
[19:41] <Pici> Scunizi: Its easier to run grubinstall than to wade through config giles.
[19:41] <Mmjack> Ime trying to run the NVIDIA accelerated graphics driver
